14 years time difference

Lin Zhique left the director's room, the opening song was over, and the host was giving an opening speech. She walked to the door of the players' waiting room. There was a window glass on the closed door. She looked in through the gap. The atmosphere in the room was not serious. Dusi was talking to Lu Shan with a smile on her face, only the dialect was pacing back and forth nervously.

She unscrewed the door and called Du Siren in front of everyone's eyes: "Contestant No. 02, come with me and get ready to play."

Dialect was surprised: "Is it so fast? Lexin hasn't played yet."

Du Siren trotted all the way, but was pulled out by Lin Zhique.She moved quickly, and had already changed the clothes she wore for the opening dance. She was wearing a navy blue and white vertical striped shirt, tucked into white shorts, which was chosen by Lin Zhique and provided by the clothing group Among the gaudy performance costumes, they finally matched a refreshing set.

Lin Zhique pulled Dusiren to the stairwell, took a look at Dusiren's attire, and stretched out his hand to pull out half of the shirt that was tied too tightly.

"Where's the silk scarf?" She remembered that she also chose a silk scarf.

"Here." Dusi took out the silk scarf that she folded into a small square handkerchief from her pocket.

Lin Zhique pulled it over, flattened it and folded it in twos and twos, stretched out his hands, and tied it on Du Siren's neckline.

Du Siren seemed to see that she was in a bad mood, and asked her softly, "What's the matter? Are you here to check your appearance?"

Lin Zhique fastened and unfastened it, she was not good at it, and felt bad about fastening it no matter what, so Du Siren reached out to shake her hand.

They looked at each other.

Lin Zhique withdrew his hand.

"It should be like this." Du Siren showed her, his movements were very dexterous, and he tied a beautiful knot in twos and twos. The blue and white made her gentle and refreshing, like the wind blowing when the sun is restless by the sea in summer.

She nodded silently.

Du Siren asked her softly again: "What's wrong? Is someone mad at you?"

Lin Zhique was dumb, and suddenly felt a little wronged.

It must have been sugar-coated shells vilely eating away at the hard armor.

"……No."

"Do you have a headache? I heard that you had a meeting until midnight last night. Are you tired?"

After being told this by her, her temples really swelled and ached, and she felt even more wronged.

But she still said as always: "Just take care of yourself. What's the first song?"

She actually remembered, just looking for something else to say.

Du Siren laughed at her: "You forgot again, your memory is comparable to that of an old lady." He raised his hand as he said, "The first song is "Raise Your Hands, Those Who Love Me."

"No."

"mean."

"There will be elimination today."

Du Siren's originally relaxed expression flashed a bit of haze: "I know. It happens in every game."

"Are you used to it?"

"Tell me the truth?"

"Are you still trying to lie to me?"

Du Siren tilted his head, "No. It seems that I can't get used to it."

"why?"

"I don't know. I can't be a winner with peace of mind. I want to win, but I'm afraid of winning. It seems a little strange."

Lin Zhique didn't criticize harshly: "Isn't it childish?"

Dusi people obediently admitted: "Childish."

But this childish softness is also her precious place.

"In short, you want to win, do you hear? It's not your fault that you win anyone."

Dusi looked into her eyes, as if thinking about what she said.

The voice of the artist director came from outside the stairwell: "Where is Siren? You are ready to wait."

Lin Zhique watched Du Siren disappear at the end of the corridor. She made a detour to the studio, and entered the front area of ​​the auditorium closest to the stage through the side door where the staff came in and out.Seeing Lin Zhique coming, she came closer to talk to her, and motioned her to look at the accompaniment area on the side of the stage with her eyes.

"Who is that youngest boy? He looks familiar. I think he's from their school."

"You mean Chen Yiran?"

"Chen Yiran? Is it called this?"

Li Miaomiao glanced at her hesitantly.

"Hmm. What?"

"He came here in Zhu He's car today."

"Isn't Zhu He on a business trip?"

She remembered that Zhu He was going to the East China head office for a meeting today.

"Well, take him here and go to the airport."

Lin Zhique looked dumbly at Chen Yiran's side face while bowing his head to play. There were some dark and sudden relationships between men and women in this circle, and there was nothing unusual about it.

After Tao Lexin finished her performance, Du Siren came on stage. A fast-paced song set off a cheerful and refreshing blue-white wave. After singing, it turned into a big interaction among the audience. Almost all the audience cheered. She raised her hand.

Lin Zhique hugged his arms tightly the whole time.Be wary of sugar-coated cannonball erosion.

She took the time to go to the director's room a few more times. The ranking of the votes fluctuated very little. In the middle of the live broadcast, Lu Shan's votes surpassed the previous one and entered the top five. After Du Siren and Chen Jia appeared, the votes increased greatly, dropping the third place. There is not a small gap in the dialect of the bit.

Finally, during a commercial break, a female judge got up and left the studio. Lin Zhique followed closely behind and caught up with her at the door of the bathroom, pretending to meet her by chance.

"Mr. Yang. You also come to the bathroom." She pretended to be relaxed.

The other party looked at her with a smile and didn't want to make any response.

"I'm from Director Zhu Hezhu's department. My name is Lin Zhique. I like your songs so much."

"Oh, the people under Mr. Zhu."

"right……"

Before she could say another word, the other party walked into the compartment and locked the door.

She pretended to wash her hands, arrange her makeup and hair, and dawdled until the other party came out and stood with her in front of the sink.

She laughed and said, "Mr. Zhu is on a business trip today, so I should remember to greet you for her. She said that the hospitality was not good, and I will treat you to dinner when I come back."

Fortunately, she has been in the workplace for many years, and she can speak all the nonsense.

"Oh, you don't have to be so polite, I just invited you a few days ago." The other party smiled, and reached out to the dryer, which whined.

Lin Zhique waited patiently until the noise stopped, and then tentatively said: "The last time you had dinner with Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhu told us, thanks to your knowledge and reason, otherwise things will be difficult to handle tonight."

The other party glanced at her, and said with a clever smile: "What's the matter? Eating is eating. I don't talk about work when I eat. You look very young. You Mr. Zhu are good. You have brains and insights. You can learn from her by following her." to something."

The other party was reminding her that too many words would lead to mistakes, and she was also blaming her for saying things she shouldn't have said.

Before she could say anything else, the pair floated away lightly.

When Du Siren and Lu Shan were PKing, the "Yiren" in the bar gloated and became extremely excited, laughing loudly, mocking them into the silent street across the street.

When Du Siren performed just now, the other side was not so quiet.

Lin Zhique somehow drank a whole can of beer, feeling dizzy and light-headed at the moment.Xu Xinan was talking to her: "The opposite side is Du Siren and Lu Shan's fans booked together? Will they be embarrassed?"

The president sat at the table next to them and said with a smile, "Now, it's time to test friendship."

Lin Zhique stared at her in a daze, drunk on alcohol, and said, "None of your business?"

"Ah?" The president didn't hear clearly.

Xu Xinan was so frightened that he immediately smoothed things over: "She seems to be drunk."

The result of the PK can be imagined. Du Siren won the overwhelming victory. The finale of the show was Lu Shan's free and easy farewell declaration. Xu Xinan went to the bar to help Lin Zhique get a cup of hot water. A shrill cry made her tremble in fright, and water sprinkled on Lin Zhique's body.

The host was reading the concluding remarks and thank you, and the whole room held their breath to pay attention to the noises on the other side of the street. Only Lin Zhique was still staring, unable to support his head with his arms, and almost fell down and drank on the rim of his glass.

Another bang came from across the street.human voice.Louder and louder voices.Extremely messy vocals.Someone went out to check the situation, turned back a few seconds later, and shouted: "They seem to be arguing!"

Before the words fell, there was an extremely piercing bang, like the sound of something hitting the glass.

The man turned around: "No, it's a fight!"

Everyone got up one after another and rushed out to watch the fun. Xu Xinan ran away without a trace. When Lin Zhique came back to his senses, the whole world seemed to be pouring away from her, so she had to stand up and follow At the end of the crowd, the door was blocked, and she staggered, her head resting on someone's soft back, so she leaned on it, almost falling asleep.

I only heard shouting from the front: Damn it!I rely on!What a fight!Hey, isn't that male and female?man man!don't go in!Danger!Call the police!Call the police!

The crowd started to move again, the back in front was gone, Lin Zhique lost her balance, and fell to the ground, shaking her head desperately, and finally struggled to get up, rubbed a piece of skin on her knee, the pain made her wake up at last.She pushed forward with the crowd, tiptoed to look, and saw chaos in the window across the street, accompanied by loud screams one after another and the loud sound of tables and chairs overturned and cups smashed, the president saw her, a He grabbed her hand and shouted at her: Nannan ran in!She went in by herself!If her parents come, you have to testify for my sister!

She is baffled.

A few people came out of the opposite shop either crying or cursing one after another.Her mind finally turned.

Xu Xinan ran in.

Du Zhian was inside.

Several people in security uniforms came running.

The matter seemed to be finally under control, and the crowd watching the excitement on the street was also dispersed. Lin Zhique foolishly followed a group of people and walked forward for a long time before he remembered where he was and what he was doing. Well, go back and look for Xu Xinan.The troubled bar has been evacuated, and only a few people who took the lead in the trouble were still negotiating inside, waiting for the police to arrive, Lin Zhique walked in, but was reprimanded by the security: "Children, don't come in this kind of place, get out! "

Lin Zhique stood at the door confidently and shouted, "I'm looking for someone!"

"Who are you looking for?"

"my classmate."

"Where are your classmates here? They're all gone! Hurry up and go home, if you don't leave, I'll call your parents."

The situation in the store was dire. During the day, the posters and banners of the Dusi people were scattered on the ground, and a few were torn.

She had no choice but to turn around and wander back and forth on the street like a headless chicken.

Passing the intersection of a dark alley, she heard Xu Xinan's voice.

Du Zhian was also there, as if crying.They stood in the depths of the alley.

Xu Xinan comforted him helplessly: "Don't cry. Don't cry."

Du Zhian sobbed: "Fortunately you are here."

"It's nothing, it's nothing, you helped me the same way last time. We each do it once."

Du Zhi'an was crying and laughing with an arrogant tone: "You mean, we don't owe anyone, we are settled? You came to save me just to thank me. Last time at school, you just ignored me on purpose. right?"

Xu Xinan's voice was flustered: "No! No! Well, it's getting late..."

Lin Zhique no longer had the patience to listen to the nonsense of the two of them, and shouted loudly, "Hey! Xi Nan!"

The two people in the alley responded and came out one after the other. Du Zhian walked past her with tears on his face, frowned in disgust and said, "You've been drinking."

Lin Zhique put on a "so what" expression.

"Dad knows, he must be very angry." Du Zhian rolled his eyes, sniffed his nose, "Forget it, I'll talk to you, if you don't talk about tonight's matter, I won't talk about it."

"I do not mind."

Xu Xinan followed behind Du Zhian and asked her, "How do you go home?"

Du Zhian turned around: "I asked Uncle Ding to drive and wait for me nearby, at the bus stop at the intersection in front."

"Well, if you're afraid that your father will find out, you can just say that you went to my house to do your homework. I'll cover for you."

Du Zhian left.

Lin Zhique wanted to turn around and leave, but Xu Xinan kept standing there, watching the young lady walk to the intersection and get into the black private car.

She looked at Xu Xinan's side face watching him, and for some reason, she felt a strange atmosphere.

For the first time in her life, she felt such an atmosphere happening between a girl and another girl.

At the end of the recording, Lu Shan hugged many people one by one. When she walked off the stage, some contestants hadn't left yet. They hugged her, and Chen Jia whispered in her ear, you are fine.

She turned her head and saw Tao Lexin standing aside, with her mouth pursed, her lips trembling slightly, and big tears were still rolling down her eyes.She rubbed her hair, and said to her in a bad voice as usual: "Why are you crying? It's so ugly! Ugly duckling!"

Dusi stood far away in the corner at the other end of the background.

The staff was bustling, and she and her looked across the crowd.

She knew that the Dusi people were trying not to cry.

So, she showed her a pistol and slapped her.

Du Siren covered his heart and squeezed out an ugly smile at her.

Afterwards, Du Siren was quickly pulled away by the staff.

It was obviously Lu Shan who was eliminated, but Du Siren was the target of reporters rushing to interview. When Lin Zhique rushed to the interview site, a reporter was asking her: Now there are some voices on the Internet saying that today's competition system is to take care of You changed it on purpose, do you know it yourself?Is there such a thing?Another reporter interjected and asked: How does it feel to eliminate your good friend by yourself?Do you feel winning is fair?

Lin Zhique yelled at the program staff who were standing by: "Who agreed to her interview?"

The staff member answered weakly behind her: "What? Didn't your Sister He arrange it..."

She walked forward quickly, intending to get angry directly, and did not hesitate to quarrel with the reporters to forcefully take the Dusi people away. Just as she squeezed into the crowd, she heard the Dusi people speak.

"Lu Shan is a very good person in my mind, better than me. If I lost today, I would be convinced. But I won, not because I was better than her, but because many viewers chose Me. I am very grateful for everyone’s choices. Although it may be because the competition system is too cruel, they can’t choose two people at the same time. I don’t know if there is anything in this world that is absolutely fair, but I will keep running, and so will Lu Shan The same, we all worked very hard to get to today, life is very long, maybe tomorrow will be a new turn, I don’t want to lose, so I will do my best every day, whether I win or lose, I accept the result and everyone scrutiny. Thank you all."

Dusiren's voice was gentle and firm. For half a second, Lin Zhique was stunned in the crowd, and then she woke up. Dusiren seemed to be stronger than she imagined.

She pushed her way to the front, regained her senses, and started dismissing the reporters, telling them she was sorry the interview time was over.The Dusi people squeezed out after her, and the two went upstairs and walked back to the lounge in silence.

On the way, I ran into a staff member and said to them: Why is Siren still here?Their car back to the hotel left.

Lin Zhique heard Du Siren click and lock the door of the lounge behind her.

The room was empty, with only a few unpacked costumes and a few messy chairs lying in the middle.

She turned her head and found that Dusi was crying silently.

She looked at her helplessly.

Makeup is gone.

She wanted to reach out to wipe it for her, resisted the impulse for a moment, and only scratched her palm with her fingertips.

She said softly, "Don't cry."

Dusiren pursed his lips tightly, trying to speak, but the sobs came to his lips first, so the tears flowed even harder.

While crying, she said, "I don't want to lose. I don't want her to lose either."

"Didn't you just say that? Life is long, and this is just one of the games."

"Yes, I know. But I'm so sick."

"Don't feel bad."

As always, she had nothing to say to comfort her.

The man from Dusi said pitifully, "Why don't I retire from the competition."

Lin Zhique frowned, and said sullenly: "What stupid things are you talking about? Don't cry. You will be sad if someone else is arrested for pornography, and you will also be sad if someone else is eliminated from the competition. You are so sensitive, how do you go on in this circle? "

Du Siren was startled by her for a moment, and really stopped crying.

Lin Zhique said: "I beg you, harden your heart, like me, don't meddle in other people's business all day long."

Du Siren asked stupidly: "You mean, you only have yourself in your heart."

Lin Zhique replied: "Yes, you should be like me."
