14 years time difference

The rental house, which was originally empty, has become a bit messy in recent days, with several things added. Chen Jia lowered his head, looked at the luggage bags piled up on the ground at his feet, and looked at Li Miaomiao, who was standing outside the door with a smile on his face. , finally made up his mind, took a step back and let Li Miaomiao into the room.

"It's not so messy at ordinary times... These things are not mine."

Li Miaomiao turned her head and looked at her messy bed, the quilt was rolled into a ball, and clothes were thrown everywhere.

"It's not yours either?"

"..."

Li Miaomiao turned her head and glanced at the door opposite, "Have the girls living opposite moved away?"

There was a notice for rent on the door.

Li Miaomiao closed the door.

"……Um."

It's more like being evicted than moving away.Half a month ago, the landlady took the key to open the door opposite, threw out all the luggage inside, and scattered it all over the corridor.

She sternly shouted in broken Mandarin, "Whoever wants it, pick it up! Renting the house to these people is a no-brainer!"

The eldest sister wanted to throw away the old small TV, and Chen Jia went to pick it up. After she finished venting her anger, she put an extra big lock on the door, and kicked away the objects thrown by her all the way. Pick up a few luggage bags on the ground, put some unbroken things and clothes and bedding into them, and move them into your room one by one.

At this moment, the TV was placed on her desk, and several luggage bags were piled up by the door.

Yesterday, Xiaoqing came back and took one of them away.She ran to the opposite side to bang bang the door, and then ran downstairs to the house where the landlady lived and had a big fight. Chen Jia was in the room, fidgeting, and heard the landlady shouting sharply, you are a chicken, What is your prestige?

The anti-pornography and anti-illegal work in Guangzhou has achieved great results. The entire front page of the People’s Daily is well-known throughout the country. Chen Jia bought that newspaper and read it. A few days before and after, other big and small newspapers in the newsstand were also reporting the same news. , interviewing the leaders of various parties, interviewing the front-line action team, severely criticizing, and publicizing, those lead characters were spread on her desk, and those dirty luggage bags, and Xiaoqing's hysterical downstairs Shouts are different fragments of the same thing.

Just like that night half a month ago, when she passed by the street outside the village in the city after work, she saw Qiu Ling coming out of the hair salon with her head down, and getting into a police car. The Qiu Ling who stood by the stairs timidly asked her if she would never see her again were different fragments of the same person.

Chen Jia couldn't stand up and hate them like the landlady's eldest sister.

Li Miaomiao went to press the TV, "Can I watch this TV? The noon audition is about to start. Let's watch while eating!" She bought hot pineapple buns from a nearby tea restaurant.

"Hey, this TV is not mine..."

Unable to stop it weakly, the TV was turned on, and a snowflake flashed on the screen, and the picture was very unclear.

Chen Jia had no choice but to walk over, bent down, and tried to debug.

"You came here just to watch TV?"

"It's not watching TV, it's watching you. My plane just arrived last night. The Guangzhou semi-finals will start soon. How are you preparing?"

Li Miaomiao sat down on the only chair in front of the TV.

"what to prepare?"

Turn left and right, but the TV refused to cooperate. Chen Jia hesitated, and reached out to pat the TV.

The screen flickered and seemed to be clearer.

"Get ready for the game."

"...It seems that there is nothing to prepare, right? Choose a song? I have already chosen."

"What about the clothes? What about the makeup? What about the promotion speech? What about the mood?"

"Attire, just put on the same outfit from last time. Makeup... Ah yes, I originally wanted to ask the neighbor across the door to help me do it, but it seems that I have to do it myself."

Chen Jia looked at the still flickering snowflakes, and finally made up her mind to slap the TV hard.

Her hand hurt, she put it on her stomach and rubbed it.

The TV picture became clearer.

Advertisement before the show is airing.

Li Miaomiao said, "I'll help you transform."

Chen Jia nodded, "Yes, yes."

"Those girls across the street, why did you move away? I was downstairs just now, and I seem to have heard the landlady say..."

"What did you say?" Chen Jia suddenly raised her voice.

"Say..." Li Miaomiao looked away, "Say they are not good people."

Chen Jia lowered her head, "...the program has begun."

She walked behind Li Miaomiao, sat on the bed, and watched silently.

Li Miaomiao turned her head and wanted to talk to her: "Hey, you have fans on the Internet, have you seen it? You have a fan club."

"Well, I heard that."

She doesn't have a computer, so a colleague who works in a bar told her, half-heartedly and half-cutting teeth, saying oops, I won't be able to climb high in the future.

"Just heard about it? Why don't you see it for yourself! I've put a lot of thought into it."

"Did you arrange it?"

Li Miaomiao put her chin on the back of the wooden chair and rolled her eyes cutely.

"Not really. I just posted on several forums and post bars saying I like you. As a result, a lot of people responded to the post. I asked one of them who was particularly active, if they want to form a support club together."

"Why did you post that?"

"Because I like you!" Li Miaomiao said carelessly.

Chen Jia blinked her narrow eyes quickly.She knew that Li Miaomiao meant something else, but she still looked away embarrassedly and stared at the TV.

Last week, the national auditions were over. This weekend is the semi-finals in Guangzhou, followed by the top ten knockout rounds, and then the national finalists.

Except for the episode where she appeared on the stage, she hadn't watched any of the episodes. There were a few contestants on TV, but none of them caught her attention. One girl got a pass card, and Li Miaomiao asked her, what did she think?She replied, it seems to be okay, right?Forgot what she sang.

Immediately afterwards, a very tall and beautiful girl appeared on the stage. She had a pair of round almond eyes, and when she smiled, she had a pair of cute rabbit teeth.

The girl bowed and said, hello judges and teachers, I am contestant No. 35331, my name is Du Siren, and my performance is "Falling in Love with You in the Future".

Chen Jia hadn't heard this song before, but she felt a little familiar. It seemed that the shops in the streets and alleys often played it. The melody was lively, which matched the girl's appearance.She is singing and dancing, her movements and appearance are very seductive, she sings:

"The big and small memories in my head don't leave a blank space. You occupy all the areas. I don't need anyone to set the rules and say it's okay. I know I love you very much."

The judges and teachers all looked at her as if they were their own daughters.

Li Miaomiao turned her head and said, "The judges like her very much, and Sister He also likes her very much. She has good appearance and expressive ability, but she can't sing as well as you."

Chen Jia said, "She has never learned to sing."

"Well, she probably hasn't studied it, she seems to have studied acting."

There is no technique in the voice, no professional training, singing and dancing, unexpectedly maintaining the pitch throughout the whole process, and there is not even a sound of panting.

The girl took a "pending", bowed, and ran away in small steps.

Chen Jia asked, "Did she fail?"

Li Miaomiao replied: "It should have passed, right? I don't really remember. There are many excellent players in Jincheng."

There was a sudden rattling outside the window. It was raining in Guangzhou. It always rained in Guangzhou in April, until July and August.

Li Miaomiao exclaimed: "It's raining heavily! I didn't bring an umbrella."

There was a knock on the door outside.

Chen Jia got up and went to open the door.This small rental house of hers never had any guests on weekdays, but today it was accidentally knocked twice.

It's Qiuling.

Qiu Ling hung her head and stood outside the door.

She didn't wear very heavy or bright makeup, she was the Qiu Ling who asked Chen Jia, "Will I see you in the future?"

Chen Jia opened her mouth, not knowing what to say in the beginning.

Qiu Ling said timidly, "I..."

"Your stuff, here, are you here to get something?"

Chen Jia turned sideways, and pointed to the pile of luggage bags for Qiu Ling.

Qiu Ling was a little surprised, "You put it all away for us?" She glanced at Li Miaomiao in the room, and subconsciously took a small step back, "You have guests, I'm sorry to disturb you."

"Don't bother, but you may want to look for it. I don't know who's it is. They're all packed together."

"It's okay, it's okay. Thank you very much."

Qiu Ling squatted down, buried her head very low, and began to tidy up carefully.She did things neatly, taking out the messy stuffed clothes by Chen Jia one by one, and folded them neatly in three or two strokes. Chen Jia squatted aside and helped her pass things. In ten minutes, she sorted everything out. Go through it again and stand up again.

"I've tidied everything up. Did Xiaoqing come here? I think her things are gone. I also separated Lan Xia and Nan Nan's. If they come back to look for them, I can take them away."

Chen Jia nodded, "That's good. And this TV, you... If it's not convenient for you to take it away, I can pay you, or we can move downstairs together and sell it to a second-hand dealer."

Qiu Ling showed a faint and shy smile, "No need, this TV set was originally unwanted in the shop, we picked it up for nothing, and you can see it here, it's the same."

She carried her duffel bag in her hand, tightly twisting the strap with both hands.

Chen Jia stood face to face with her, with their eyes lowered, and there was a few seconds of silence.

Qiu Ling finally spoke again, "I...actually, I have something I want to give you."

She unzipped the duffel bag, reached in, and pulled out a black videotape.

"...This. They said that you will go to other places to participate in the national competition in the future, and they planned to give it to you when you were leaving." She smiled with all her strength, and there was something shining in her eyes, "Unexpectedly, it is I'll go first."

Chen Jia received it, and there was a white sticker on the video tape, which read: Chen Jia's first match.

She laughed and said, "It was also my first time on TV. You recorded it for me."

Qiu Ling nodded shyly, "Well, I think, if you become a big star in the future, you can still take it out and have a look, maybe you will still remember the days when you lived here."

"I will remember, and I will remember you."

Qiu Ling nodded vigorously.

"My Jia is Jian Jia's Jia. Jian Jia is green, and the white dew is frost. The reed Jia is the reed."

"I'll remember, Chen Jia. Goodbye. Sorry to bother you." Qiu Ling turned around hastily, as if she was afraid that tears would fall out of her eyes.

Finally, she said: "May your dreams come true."

Before Chen Jia's "goodbye" could be heard, Qiu Ling quickly disappeared at the stairs with the slightly dirty and old luggage bag in hand.

Chen Jia was pinching the video tape, and her sad mood was interrupted by Li Miaomiao, who said behind her: "It's a pity, I really can't see that she is such a girl."

Chen Jia turned around.

Li Miaomiao said again: "In the future, you should not associate with them again."

"……why?"

"I, I heard... just happened to hear it downstairs..."

"Did you just hear it? Have you inquired about it?"

Li Miaomiao pursed her lips guiltily, "Anyway, they are moving away anyway, and you will soon be moving away too. We probably won't see each other again in the future."

"Whether I see or not is my business, why do you care who I associate with?"

"I'm doing it for your own good! You will become a public figure in the future, and if you associate with such a person, you will become a stain in the media's pen, and they will definitely write about it."

"You don't think they're nice people, do you?"

"...At least, they are people who are different from us."

Chen Jia blinked her long and narrow eyes, put away the thorns that were about to stand up just now, and said in a low voice, "I may not be the same person as you."

"Why is it different? In the future, we will work together and experience many things together. My work goal is to help you achieve your work goals. My dream is to help you realize your dreams."

Chen Jia raised her arm, revealing a button on her sleeve, "Look, this button was missing when I went to work, and they sewed it for me. And the screen on my window, It was they who installed it for me. This video tape is a gift from her. They are different from me, but I have a past with them. What about you? You said you are my future manager, You said it would make me famous, but based on these few words, are you going to point out my relationship and teach me to distinguish between good and bad? In the future, it may not come."

Li Miaomiao choked, and finally said angrily: "That's up to you. I was too busy to leave so much work and come here to meddle in your business. I advise you to get used to it sooner or later, anyway. It's up to me. You put on the makeup yourself. I'm leaving!"

She shook her head, bypassed Chen Jia, and went to unscrew the door that had just been closed.

Facing her back, Chen Jia said weakly, "...it's raining. There's an umbrella by the door."

Li Miaomiao paused, and unceremoniously took the folding umbrella hanging on the wall.
