Chapter 37
Zhong Xingran opened the door of the cabinet suspiciously. The safe was empty except for a kraft paper bag.
His heart suddenly started beating violently, and a strong premonition hit him. He immediately reached out and took out the thick paper bag, untied the twine in a hurry, and poured out the documents inside.
When he saw the familiar face in the photo, his heart skipped a beat—it really was Wen Ji Nian's file, and it was really in his hands, Zhong Yunqi didn't lie to him.
In addition to looking for Zhong Yunqi, he also asked various well-informed people in the industry many times, but he was always told that Wen Jinian's news had been bought out. It turned out that the person who bought out was really himself. .
For a moment, Zhong Xingran didn't even dare to touch the stack of papers.He is like a thief hovering outside the door, he can enter the room by pushing the door open, but he feels uneasy in his heart.
He took several deep breaths before mustering up the courage to turn to the first page.
This is a comprehensive and detailed file, even ordinary private detectives can't do enough homework. From Wen Ji Nian's birth to his debut, it also includes all the group photos of his kindergarten, primary school, and high school.
Wen Jinian was born in a scholarly family. Both his grandfather and grandmother were university professors, and his mother worked in the Geological Bureau.His grandparents belong to the business generation, and his father owns several companies of his own.Logically speaking, such a family should live a prosperous and happy life, as can be seen from the fact that his kindergarten and elementary school are both noble schools.
When he was in elementary school, he was the most popular kid in the class, always standing in the C position in the group photo, and his grades were No.1 every year.At the cultural gala, a circle of boys and girls surrounded him to take pictures with him.
Zhong Xingran looked at the still childish Wen Ji Nian in the photo, his nervous mood gradually softened.
With baby fat cheeks and two big crystal clear eyes, it also stands out in the crowd.She has been so beautiful since she was a child, it is no wonder that when she grows up, she is so beautiful.
He smiled slightly, and stroked Xiao Wen Ji Nian's face with his fingers, as if touching him from a distant time and space.
However, all this happiness and beauty disappeared overnight when he was ten years old.
His father was cheated in business, and the joint venture party ran away with the money. It was just a small loophole, but the frame-up intensified later, which caused the crisis of the entire company.Grandpa and grandma took out all their family assets to make compensation, but they were really unlucky, and another investor took away the rest of the money, and now the whole family was caught in it.The hard work of the two old people for most of their lives was ruined, and they immediately collapsed.
At that time, his mother was seriously ill, and the daily medical expenses were as high as more than [-] yuan. Once the machine was turned on, it was all money.His father wanted to sell the house to her for medical treatment, but all the capital chains were frozen, and when he was in a desperate state, he went to borrow usury.
On New Year's Eve that year, it snowed heavily outside.
His mother finally came out of the ICU, but the follow-up treatment will cost a lot of money.While her father was borrowing money, she pulled out the tube with the last bit of strength.
At that time, Wen Ji Nian was sleeping next to him. He was still number one in the school at the end of this year's semester, and happily put his report card beside the hospital bed.Everyone in this ward has gone home, and the grandma next door gave them hot dumplings for dinner.
He fell asleep with the joy of the New Year.
After waking up, he lost his mother.
The next day, his father turned gray all night, quietly sent him to his uncle's house, walked to the roof of the hospital and jumped off.
The gang of debtors did not let them go because of this, but kept harassing Uncle Wen Jinian's family.Uncle pitied him for being helpless and kept him, but both his aunt and cousin hated him very much. In order not to embarrass uncle, Wen Jinian could only go to work with him to make money.Fortunately, my uncle didn't give up on him because of this, and let him go to high school while appeasing the debtor with money from his own house.
In the third year of high school, he was discovered by scouts.
In his sophomore year, he signed an agreement and officially debuted.
Zhong Xingran was out of breath, his heart seemed to be pierced by dense needles, the pain caused him to bend down a few times to breathe heavily, a heavy stone was pressed in his throat, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
He had thought about whether Wen Ji Nian's family owed money, at most tens of millions, but he never expected that his life would be so bloody and tearful.No one likes him, no one loves him.
What was he thinking when his mother died?Do you feel that it would be fine if you didn't fall asleep that day?Will you hate yourself, hate every New Year's Eve?
After his father also abandoned him, what would he think?
The last immediate family member in the world is gone, how will he cry...
Although the above are all declarative sentences, and the lines between the lines reveal the coldness that a file should have, but these words describe his real experience.
Zhong Xingran could imagine that on that snowy day, Xiao Wen Ji Nian was sent to his uncle's house wearing a cotton coat that could not keep warm.My aunt looked at him with disgust, told him to sleep in the storage room, and quarreled with my uncle in the middle of the night to drive him out.
Will he hug his legs stubbornly and curl up into a ball?
He lived like this for eight years.
He must have been very desperate at the time, he even borrowed his high school tuition, but how did he treat him at that time?He said that Wen Ji Nian is an annoying gay and deserves to have no friends.He asked Wen Jinian to move the table farther away and not to approach him.He also got into a fight with Wen Jinian, and made a fuss with the teacher in charge, causing him to stand at the door as punishment.
To him, these were all trivial matters, but to Wen Ji Nian, it made things worse.
The pain of remorse hit overwhelmingly, Zhong Xingran was so uncomfortable that he was about to suffocate, his eyes were frighteningly red, and his eyes were bloodshot.
The paper in his hand was crumpled by him, and a drop of water fell on the paper. He put down the document and looked up at the dazzling crystal lamp, breathing heavily, trying to hold back his tears.However, the crystal lamp in front of him gradually became blurred, and everything around him was covered by mist...
After a long time, the dull pain in the heart still lingers.
He now completely understands why he would do this five years later.When Wen Ji Nian was hacked to the worst, he married him and handed over all his assets, not because he wanted to repay the favor, but because he just got the file at that time.
He didn't dare to let Wen Ji Nian find out that he knew about this, so he could only use the nonsense name of handing in his salary card, hoping that he would use the money to pay off his debts and stop living so hard.
But in fact, Wen Jinian didn't touch any of his money.
He has his own principles.
After a long time, five years later, he began to wonder, did Wen Ji Nian really marry him because he liked him?If he liked him, why didn't he confess this to him, why didn't he use his money to make up for the loophole?This led to a gap between the two behind.
But now Zhong Xingran didn't think about it, he only hated himself for knowing it too late.
If he knew this in high school, he would never have treated Wen Ji Nian like that.
He put all those materials back into the bag, leaving only the photo of Wen Ji Nian smiling the happiest. In the photo, he was holding a trophy and standing among a group of children, showing his cute missing teeth.
The him in the photo should have been high-spirited, he should have been the proud son of heaven, and he should have lived his whole life carefree.
Zhong Xing lit a cigarette, held it in his hand and didn't take two puffs, but stared blankly at the photo, as if he was staring at him in the photo from afar.
The cigarette burned to the end, and the flame burned his fingers, so he reacted and stifled the cigarette.
He suddenly wanted to hear Ji Nian's voice, and was about to make a call, only to realize that it was past one o'clock in the middle of the night.
But even if he heard the voice, so what, if he did it again, he would not be able to open his mouth to reveal his scar.
That night, Zhong Xingran fell asleep on the sofa.
He had a dream, dreaming of Wen Ji Nian when he was a child.
They didn't know each other in the dream, he looked like an adult, Wen Jinian looked like a teenager.
Wen Ji Nian was squatting by the puddle to play with the reflection inside, he walked over and asked casually: "Little friend, what are you doing here alone? You are so cute, and you are not afraid that some bad guys will abduct you. Where did your parents go?" ?”
Wen Jinian raised his head and looked at him with big amber eyes, "I have no parents, my parents are gone."
Zhong Xingran was stunned for a moment, then smiled at him, stretched out his hand and said, "Then follow me, I will take you home."
In the last scene of the dream, he led Xiao Wen Ji Nian out of the alley.
No one will chase him for debts, and no one can bully him anymore.
Waking up from this dream was very sudden, and when Zhong Xingran opened his eyes, it was rare that he didn't wake up in the slightest.He didn't sleep well, but in his dream the wish he had made last night came true.
He hoped to meet ten-year-old Wen Ji Nian, go to his side and hug his small body.
The mobile phone that fell on the ground rang, and the harsh ringtone spread throughout the living room.
Zhong Xingran thought it was Wen Ji Nian calling, so he stood up and picked up his phone.
Looking at the screen, it turned out to be Qu Huaimin.
He answered the channel wearily: "Hello, Mr. Qu."
Qu Huaimin said at the other end: "Why don't you come to the company to find me? Didn't I tell you to come here as soon as possible?"
Zhong Xingran squeezed the center of his brows, but he didn't have much strength, "I'll go over later, by the way, I want to join the group as soon as possible these days."
"Join the group? In what group?"
"It's the crew of "Six Boss" directed by Lin Jiasheng."
Only then did Qu Huaimin remember, "Oh, you were just a cameo in that movie, so don't take it too seriously, you come to the company right now, there is a shareholder meeting at ten o'clock."
Zhong Xingran was stunned, "Shareholders' meeting? What's none of my business?"
Qu Huaimin said helplessly, "You don't really have shares in other entertainment companies, do you? You don't even remember that you bought 15% of the shares in Star Yao? Or did you drink too much last night and didn't want to come here, so you put it here and pretended to have amnesia? And me."
Zhong Xingran gasped, he really had his own money.
Qu Huaimin added: "And your teammate wants to terminate the contract with us. You have to persuade him no matter what happens. After the meeting, I will arrange for you to meet."
Zhong Xingran wanted to ask which teammate he had never heard of, but if he asked any further, he would be taken for a fool by Qu Huaimin, so he had no choice but to swallow the words that came out of his mouth.
At the end, Qu Huaimin instructed: "I don't have much to say about you and the matter of the year, but you must settle the matter of Du Kang properly. After all, you provoked it in the first place. Come here quickly, everyone is waiting for you."
It turned out that Du Kang wanted to terminate the contract, Zhong Xingran frowned.
Damn, five years later, he didn't leave anything good, but gave him a lot of mess.
Oh no, getting married to Wen Ji Nian is the best thing.
Since he arrived here, he has not received any news from Du Kang.He didn't take the initiative to speak in the group, nor did he call Zhong Xingran, and he didn't even hear from him on his birthday, as if he disappeared out of thin air.
Zhong Xingran tried to send him a message, but nothing came of it. He went to ask Xu Qiming, but Xu Qiming hesitated every time, saying that Du Kang was busy recently and might not be free.
In the past month, Zhong Xingran has also been busy recording programs, and has no time to distract him.Judging from what Qu Huaimin said now, it is estimated that there is some conflict between them.
He washed up in a hurry, changed his clothes and went to Xingyao.
The shareholder meeting was long and boring, and Zhong Xingran fell asleep listening to it, and was kicked by Qu Huaimin from time to time, so he managed to pull himself together.
Finally, when the meeting was over, Qu Huaimin led him to the office.
"Ranran, Dukang is waiting for you in my office. If you have anything to say later, don't do anything, and don't smash things." He chattered, "The jade sailboat on my desk costs 10,000+, don't knock it over for me. Oh, and the pure gold globe next to it... Hey, if there are no people in the conference room, I really don't want you to talk in my office."
Zhong Xingran pulled down his sunglasses a little, and looked at him inexplicably: "I also passed your office?"
He only remembered that he lifted Zhong Yunqi.
Qu Huaimin blushed, his nostrils opened and closed in anger, and he pointed at him, "How dare you mention that last time you fought backstage at a charity dinner, the follow-up public relations cost was more expensive than you broke my office! Of course , I say this not to allow you to lift my office, but just to remind you how much the company has put in for you!"
Zhong Xingran thought suspiciously, it seems that the problem between him and Du Kang is quite deep, what is the reason?
Du Kang, like everyone else in the band, is a brother he met when he was half a year old.They were not in the same class in high school, but they often played together.They were separated for a period of time during college, and later debuted together, and almost all of their schedules were tied together.
After Zhong Xingran went solo, his personal itinerary increased, so he couldn't meet them often.
He pushed open the door of the office, and Qu Huaimin stopped behind him.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the huge office, stood a boy's figure.
Zhong Xingran has not seen Du Kang for a long time, and he is still similar to his impression.
He is almost as tall as Zhong Xingran, and the young people are all about the height of Aibi. At that time, he was 1.9 meter long, and he drank milk desperately for more than a month to grow to [-] meters, but finally found that he could not grow up to [-] centimeter.
When he was in school, he and Zhong Xingran's face were called Lan Gao Shuangsha together, because they were both equally handsome and fierce.Zhong Xingran is because he always has a stinky face, and it looks like everyone owes him 80 yuan.Du Kang is because he has a scar under his left eye, which was left from a group fight with Zhong Xingran when he was in junior high school.
Hearing the sound of the door, Du Kang turned around.
He should have just returned from work, wearing a dark blue casual shirt and sneakers on his feet.Her hair was styled in a simple way, her skin was a little pale, her eyes were deep and handsome, and there was a lingering coldness in her eyes.
When he saw Zhong Xingran for the first time, his expression was not welcome, but deep disgust, as if he would pounce on him in the next second and die with him.
Qu Huaimin said, "Talk slowly, and be careful with my decorations."
After speaking, he closed the door and backed out.
With his hands in his pockets, Zhong Xingran looked at him from a distance, looking at his brother who had turned friend into enemy with a questioning face.
After confronting each other for a while, he still walked over, took out a pack of cigarettes and shook them, "Do you want it?"
It's not that they haven't quarreled before. It's common for boys to punch their fists, but very few boys have overnight feuds, and they usually forget about it after fighting.It was the first time he saw Du Kang with such an attitude.
Zhong Xingran used the old method before and took the initiative to reconcile.
Du Kang didn't pick up his cigarette, and said sarcastically, "Why, you really have two faces. Didn't he let you smoke?"
Zhong Xingran pondered for a while, not quite understanding why he suddenly mentioned Wen Ji Nian.
What kind of attitude should he have in five years to be natural enough?
"I won't smoke if he doesn't let me smoke." He replied in the same tone as before, and was about to take out a cigarette and hand it to him.
Du Kang suddenly became excited, stepped forward and knocked out Zhong Xing's cigarette, grabbed his collar with both hands, and the veins on his forehead twitched.
"You had the guts to do that kind of thing to him in front of me back then, so what is it now, you won't cherish it after you get it?" He gritted his teeth and said, his hand was so strong that he wanted to strangle Zhong Xingran to death, " Or, Mr. Qu called me here today just to listen to you show off? You know that I..."
He gasped for breath, his eyes were angry, but he couldn't continue the words behind him.
Zhong Xingran's face suddenly sank, and he instantly understood what Du Kang hadn't finished speaking.
He suppressed his anger and said word by word: "You fucking explain clearly to me."
Du Kang sneered, "I didn't make it clear last time, did I? Zhong Xingran, don't be so fucking self-righteous, Ji Nian doesn't like you at all! I was the first to find out about the situation in his family, and I was the first to help him with pain." I was the one who beat up those bastards, and I was the first one to spend his birthday with him... Does he really like you? No, it's just because he's had enough of being alone, and he's afraid to go back to his life before. What about you, what qualifications do you have to marry him at that time?"
His aggressive words completely overturned Zhong Xingran's cognition.
Zhong Xingran was furious, he swung away his hand that was holding onto his collar, and pulled him back violently.
"Fuck you! You know what you're just talking nonsense here? How could he not..." Halfway through his speech, he remembered the current situation and realized that he didn't know what Du Kang said.
Was it really Du Kang who was the first to know about his family situation?What happened to those bastards?Did Du Kang really help him celebrate his birthday?
He cursed furiously: "Fuck/Your uncle!"
Then he punched Du Kang in the face.
Du Kang had no intention of dodging at all, and punched the fist that was facing him.The two of them didn't hide, they punched each other in the face desperately, hit the floor-to-ceiling window shockingly, and rolled towards the sofa.
Both of them are people who often fight and fight since they were young and were called to read self-criticism. When they really did it, neither of them would accept the other, and they both knew that the other was an idol, and they deliberately hit the vulnerable places such as the eye sockets and the corners of the mouth.
Qu Huaimin was grinding coffee beans in the coffee room, when he heard the cleaning said that there was movement in the office, he threw down the coffee beans in a hurry and rushed in with someone.
What he was most worried about happened. Two people beat each other to death, nosebleeds flew everywhere, and the scene was a mess.
Qu Huaimin's first reaction was not to see people, but to check his jade ornaments. If it wasn't because it was too heavy, he would have moved out just now.Fortunately, the battlefield was in the reception area, and it didn't affect the area around the desk.
After making sure that all the valuables were intact, Qu Huaimin remembered to check the artist's face.
He took a look at Zhong Xingran's chin, and roared with grief: "You two bastards... bastard bastards! Even if you fight, you can't hit your face! How can you fight like this! This nose and chin are all bought Do you know the insurance! You will be filming an advertisement tomorrow. You will be joining the team in two days. You don’t want to be in this line anymore, do you?!”
Zhong Xingran was pressed by him and lifted his face up to stop the nosebleed, he was so angry that he gasped, Du Kang also got blood all over his face, turned his head with a bruised nose and swollen face without saying a word.
Qu Huaimin hated iron for being weak and said, "Don't go to Lubei for the next few days, and heal the wound on your face before you go."
"I'm going!" Zhong Xingran glared at Du Kang in protest.
Du Kang knew that he was going to film with Wen Ji Nian, and his face turned livid.
"Fuck you with a hammer!" Qu Huaimin scolded, "You want to be on the hot search again, don't you think it's an honor to have a face hurt? And you, Du Kang, all your work this month has been suspended, don't think you're going to terminate the contract I can't hide you in the snow, the contract expires in two years!"
Du Kang stood up abruptly, turned around and walked out the door without saying a word.
Qu Huaimin was taken aback by his action, and after he left, he said angrily: "Crazy! I knew he was a lunatic! This guy must be mentally ill. I kindly want to help him, lest he pay huge liquidated damages. He still doesn't appreciate it? I'm mad at me, I'm mad at me!"
Zhong Xingran said coldly: "Who knows, maybe he's seriously ill."
He didn't believe Du Kang's nonsense at all. Even if Wen Ji Nian didn't like him, he definitely wouldn't like Du Kang.
Du Kang lived up to his name, his character was like a pot of strong wine, he was the kind of person who would destroy it if he couldn't get it.When he was in junior high school, he liked a girl. In the second week after being rejected by her, the girl came to him crying and said that she was willing to be with him.
At that time, they didn't know what method Du Kang used, and they said that he had something.Later, Du Kang didn't have a relationship with her, and the girl transferred after half a month, and no one knew what happened.
If he uses this method to deal with Wen Jinian...
Zhong Xingran licked the damaged corner of his mouth, squinted his eyes and thought, he killed Du Kang.
However, he thought about it again, how could Du Kang like Wen Ji Nian?Isn't he straight?
Zhong Xingran couldn't sit still anymore, he wanted to see Wen Jinian immediately.
He stood up and said, "Mr. Qu, I'm going to the bathroom."
Who is Qu Huaimin, an old man who has been in the entertainment industry for decades, he knew what he was going to do when he saw his tail raised.
He widened his eyes and said angrily: "Fart, what do you want to do? Buy a plane ticket to Lubei? Let me tell you, Zhong Xingran, you are not allowed to go anywhere, just stay in the company dormitory for me. If I let you If I step out of the company, my surname will not be Qu!"
Qu Huaimin quickly asked the security guards to take Zhong Xingran to the dormitory downstairs, called Jiang Kun and Li Mingming over with a phone call, scolded them for not being in place, and asked them to guard Zhong Xingran 24 hours a day. Never let him appear in public.
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Kun and Li Mingming were sitting in the dormitory dedicated to trainees, opposite Zhong Xingran who was about to explode/explode.
Li Mingming saw him walking around violently, and persuaded him tactfully: "Ran Ran, it's useless even if you beat us to the ground, there are four security guards outside, and there are more than a dozen security guards at the gate, so don't go back and forth." Come on, sit down and let me put some iodine bar on you."
Jiang Kun was much calmer than him, perhaps because he was used to being scolded by Qu Huaimin, so he didn't have any symptoms of anxiety.
He picked up the phone, distracted himself from his work, and said, "Sit down first, and let Mingming help you deal with the wound. There is no need to rush this kind of thing. If you are really panicking, you can call Ji Nian."
"I can't tell clearly on the phone..." Zhong Xingran was halfway through speaking, and suddenly realized, "How do you know what happened?"
Jiang Kun glanced at Li Mingming and said, "Go to the pharmacy downstairs and buy some fire-reducing tea. In addition to applying iodine, he also needs to reduce the fire."
Li Mingming responded, pushed the door open and went out.
Zhong Xingran finally stopped walking around and stared at him suspiciously.
Jiang Kun sighed and said, "I didn't know this on purpose, but I was there at that party. We were having dinner at Du Kang's house, and when you accidentally saw something on his table, I was on the balcony Smoking. Then I saw you go out and punch him in front of everyone. I went over and looked at the thing, part of it was a year-end photo, and the other part was his diary."
"Actually, Ji Nian didn't know about this, but you stabbed him in front of him. Backstage at the charity dinner, you deliberately kissed Du Kang in front of Du Kang. He didn't want to do this in front of others, so he struggled a bit, and you became more and more aggressive. , Du Kang started fighting with you...don't look at me like that, I didn't want to peek, but I just happened to pass by that dressing room."
"Hmph, goddamn it was I who pierced it, he must have deliberately put it on the table for me to see." Zhong Xing said with a sullen face.
Wen Ji Nian in front of Du Kang... It is indeed something that his temper will do, no wonder Du Kang is going crazy.
Zhong Xingran thought about it for a second, his own wife, he could kiss whenever he wanted, and he had to choose the occasion?What's wrong with kissing right in front of him, you have to show him the kiss!
Jiang Kun could see his thoughts at a glance, and said helplessly: "So Boss Xiaozhong always said that you are immature, you are used to acting recklessly, and you have to take into account the feelings of the year, right? Have you asked him if he is willing? He It is not a tool you use to swear sovereignty, since you are together, you should choose to trust him."
Normally, he wouldn't talk to Zhong Xingran about this, but it's pitiful that this kid's eyes are so swollen today, it's not a solution to keep going around like this.
Jiang Kun was really afraid that one day he would be kicked by Wen Ji Nian for his writing, and he would be crazier than Du Kang.
Zhong Xingran fell silent.
That's right, he shouldn't care about Du Kang's thoughts, but should care about Wen Ji Nian's thoughts.
So what does Wen Ji Nian think, does he like himself more, or Du Kang?
Zhong Xingran spat in his heart, bah, he won't like Du Kang.
He couldn't help but want to fly to Wen Jinian and ask him if he was forced to stay by his side, and if what Du Kang said was all made up.Perhaps, Wen Ji Nian also remembered something from the past?
He really wanted to see him soon.
Three days later, the moon was dark and the wind was high.
Jiang Kun and Li Mingming were sleeping on bunk beds, snoring earth-shatteringly.
Zhong Xingran carried his own small package, which contained masks, sunglasses and a hat, as well as the Lejiang brand almond thin crispy egg tarts that Wen Ji Nian liked to eat, and the collector's edition that Wen Ji Nian liked that he stole from Qu Huaimin's office game console.
He stepped over the sleeping two people on his feet, quietly opened the window, put on his small backpack, grabbed the rope wrapped around the quilt that he had prepared earlier, and jumped into the window of the bathroom next door.
His heart suddenly started beating violently, and a strong premonition hit him. He immediately reached out and took out the thick paper bag, untied the twine in a hurry, and poured out the documents inside.
When he saw the familiar face in the photo, his heart skipped a beat—it really was Wen Ji Nian's file, and it was really in his hands, Zhong Yunqi didn't lie to him.
In addition to looking for Zhong Yunqi, he also asked various well-informed people in the industry many times, but he was always told that Wen Jinian's news had been bought out. It turned out that the person who bought out was really himself. .
For a moment, Zhong Xingran didn't even dare to touch the stack of papers.He is like a thief hovering outside the door, he can enter the room by pushing the door open, but he feels uneasy in his heart.
He took several deep breaths before mustering up the courage to turn to the first page.
This is a comprehensive and detailed file, even ordinary private detectives can't do enough homework. From Wen Ji Nian's birth to his debut, it also includes all the group photos of his kindergarten, primary school, and high school.
Wen Jinian was born in a scholarly family. Both his grandfather and grandmother were university professors, and his mother worked in the Geological Bureau.His grandparents belong to the business generation, and his father owns several companies of his own.Logically speaking, such a family should live a prosperous and happy life, as can be seen from the fact that his kindergarten and elementary school are both noble schools.
When he was in elementary school, he was the most popular kid in the class, always standing in the C position in the group photo, and his grades were No.1 every year.At the cultural gala, a circle of boys and girls surrounded him to take pictures with him.
Zhong Xingran looked at the still childish Wen Ji Nian in the photo, his nervous mood gradually softened.
With baby fat cheeks and two big crystal clear eyes, it also stands out in the crowd.She has been so beautiful since she was a child, it is no wonder that when she grows up, she is so beautiful.
He smiled slightly, and stroked Xiao Wen Ji Nian's face with his fingers, as if touching him from a distant time and space.
However, all this happiness and beauty disappeared overnight when he was ten years old.
His father was cheated in business, and the joint venture party ran away with the money. It was just a small loophole, but the frame-up intensified later, which caused the crisis of the entire company.Grandpa and grandma took out all their family assets to make compensation, but they were really unlucky, and another investor took away the rest of the money, and now the whole family was caught in it.The hard work of the two old people for most of their lives was ruined, and they immediately collapsed.
At that time, his mother was seriously ill, and the daily medical expenses were as high as more than [-] yuan. Once the machine was turned on, it was all money.His father wanted to sell the house to her for medical treatment, but all the capital chains were frozen, and when he was in a desperate state, he went to borrow usury.
On New Year's Eve that year, it snowed heavily outside.
His mother finally came out of the ICU, but the follow-up treatment will cost a lot of money.While her father was borrowing money, she pulled out the tube with the last bit of strength.
At that time, Wen Ji Nian was sleeping next to him. He was still number one in the school at the end of this year's semester, and happily put his report card beside the hospital bed.Everyone in this ward has gone home, and the grandma next door gave them hot dumplings for dinner.
He fell asleep with the joy of the New Year.
After waking up, he lost his mother.
The next day, his father turned gray all night, quietly sent him to his uncle's house, walked to the roof of the hospital and jumped off.
The gang of debtors did not let them go because of this, but kept harassing Uncle Wen Jinian's family.Uncle pitied him for being helpless and kept him, but both his aunt and cousin hated him very much. In order not to embarrass uncle, Wen Jinian could only go to work with him to make money.Fortunately, my uncle didn't give up on him because of this, and let him go to high school while appeasing the debtor with money from his own house.
In the third year of high school, he was discovered by scouts.
In his sophomore year, he signed an agreement and officially debuted.
Zhong Xingran was out of breath, his heart seemed to be pierced by dense needles, the pain caused him to bend down a few times to breathe heavily, a heavy stone was pressed in his throat, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
He had thought about whether Wen Ji Nian's family owed money, at most tens of millions, but he never expected that his life would be so bloody and tearful.No one likes him, no one loves him.
What was he thinking when his mother died?Do you feel that it would be fine if you didn't fall asleep that day?Will you hate yourself, hate every New Year's Eve?
After his father also abandoned him, what would he think?
The last immediate family member in the world is gone, how will he cry...
Although the above are all declarative sentences, and the lines between the lines reveal the coldness that a file should have, but these words describe his real experience.
Zhong Xingran could imagine that on that snowy day, Xiao Wen Ji Nian was sent to his uncle's house wearing a cotton coat that could not keep warm.My aunt looked at him with disgust, told him to sleep in the storage room, and quarreled with my uncle in the middle of the night to drive him out.
Will he hug his legs stubbornly and curl up into a ball?
He lived like this for eight years.
He must have been very desperate at the time, he even borrowed his high school tuition, but how did he treat him at that time?He said that Wen Ji Nian is an annoying gay and deserves to have no friends.He asked Wen Jinian to move the table farther away and not to approach him.He also got into a fight with Wen Jinian, and made a fuss with the teacher in charge, causing him to stand at the door as punishment.
To him, these were all trivial matters, but to Wen Ji Nian, it made things worse.
The pain of remorse hit overwhelmingly, Zhong Xingran was so uncomfortable that he was about to suffocate, his eyes were frighteningly red, and his eyes were bloodshot.
The paper in his hand was crumpled by him, and a drop of water fell on the paper. He put down the document and looked up at the dazzling crystal lamp, breathing heavily, trying to hold back his tears.However, the crystal lamp in front of him gradually became blurred, and everything around him was covered by mist...
After a long time, the dull pain in the heart still lingers.
He now completely understands why he would do this five years later.When Wen Ji Nian was hacked to the worst, he married him and handed over all his assets, not because he wanted to repay the favor, but because he just got the file at that time.
He didn't dare to let Wen Ji Nian find out that he knew about this, so he could only use the nonsense name of handing in his salary card, hoping that he would use the money to pay off his debts and stop living so hard.
But in fact, Wen Jinian didn't touch any of his money.
He has his own principles.
After a long time, five years later, he began to wonder, did Wen Ji Nian really marry him because he liked him?If he liked him, why didn't he confess this to him, why didn't he use his money to make up for the loophole?This led to a gap between the two behind.
But now Zhong Xingran didn't think about it, he only hated himself for knowing it too late.
If he knew this in high school, he would never have treated Wen Ji Nian like that.
He put all those materials back into the bag, leaving only the photo of Wen Ji Nian smiling the happiest. In the photo, he was holding a trophy and standing among a group of children, showing his cute missing teeth.
The him in the photo should have been high-spirited, he should have been the proud son of heaven, and he should have lived his whole life carefree.
Zhong Xing lit a cigarette, held it in his hand and didn't take two puffs, but stared blankly at the photo, as if he was staring at him in the photo from afar.
The cigarette burned to the end, and the flame burned his fingers, so he reacted and stifled the cigarette.
He suddenly wanted to hear Ji Nian's voice, and was about to make a call, only to realize that it was past one o'clock in the middle of the night.
But even if he heard the voice, so what, if he did it again, he would not be able to open his mouth to reveal his scar.
That night, Zhong Xingran fell asleep on the sofa.
He had a dream, dreaming of Wen Ji Nian when he was a child.
They didn't know each other in the dream, he looked like an adult, Wen Jinian looked like a teenager.
Wen Ji Nian was squatting by the puddle to play with the reflection inside, he walked over and asked casually: "Little friend, what are you doing here alone? You are so cute, and you are not afraid that some bad guys will abduct you. Where did your parents go?" ?”
Wen Jinian raised his head and looked at him with big amber eyes, "I have no parents, my parents are gone."
Zhong Xingran was stunned for a moment, then smiled at him, stretched out his hand and said, "Then follow me, I will take you home."
In the last scene of the dream, he led Xiao Wen Ji Nian out of the alley.
No one will chase him for debts, and no one can bully him anymore.
Waking up from this dream was very sudden, and when Zhong Xingran opened his eyes, it was rare that he didn't wake up in the slightest.He didn't sleep well, but in his dream the wish he had made last night came true.
He hoped to meet ten-year-old Wen Ji Nian, go to his side and hug his small body.
The mobile phone that fell on the ground rang, and the harsh ringtone spread throughout the living room.
Zhong Xingran thought it was Wen Ji Nian calling, so he stood up and picked up his phone.
Looking at the screen, it turned out to be Qu Huaimin.
He answered the channel wearily: "Hello, Mr. Qu."
Qu Huaimin said at the other end: "Why don't you come to the company to find me? Didn't I tell you to come here as soon as possible?"
Zhong Xingran squeezed the center of his brows, but he didn't have much strength, "I'll go over later, by the way, I want to join the group as soon as possible these days."
"Join the group? In what group?"
"It's the crew of "Six Boss" directed by Lin Jiasheng."
Only then did Qu Huaimin remember, "Oh, you were just a cameo in that movie, so don't take it too seriously, you come to the company right now, there is a shareholder meeting at ten o'clock."
Zhong Xingran was stunned, "Shareholders' meeting? What's none of my business?"
Qu Huaimin said helplessly, "You don't really have shares in other entertainment companies, do you? You don't even remember that you bought 15% of the shares in Star Yao? Or did you drink too much last night and didn't want to come here, so you put it here and pretended to have amnesia? And me."
Zhong Xingran gasped, he really had his own money.
Qu Huaimin added: "And your teammate wants to terminate the contract with us. You have to persuade him no matter what happens. After the meeting, I will arrange for you to meet."
Zhong Xingran wanted to ask which teammate he had never heard of, but if he asked any further, he would be taken for a fool by Qu Huaimin, so he had no choice but to swallow the words that came out of his mouth.
At the end, Qu Huaimin instructed: "I don't have much to say about you and the matter of the year, but you must settle the matter of Du Kang properly. After all, you provoked it in the first place. Come here quickly, everyone is waiting for you."
It turned out that Du Kang wanted to terminate the contract, Zhong Xingran frowned.
Damn, five years later, he didn't leave anything good, but gave him a lot of mess.
Oh no, getting married to Wen Ji Nian is the best thing.
Since he arrived here, he has not received any news from Du Kang.He didn't take the initiative to speak in the group, nor did he call Zhong Xingran, and he didn't even hear from him on his birthday, as if he disappeared out of thin air.
Zhong Xingran tried to send him a message, but nothing came of it. He went to ask Xu Qiming, but Xu Qiming hesitated every time, saying that Du Kang was busy recently and might not be free.
In the past month, Zhong Xingran has also been busy recording programs, and has no time to distract him.Judging from what Qu Huaimin said now, it is estimated that there is some conflict between them.
He washed up in a hurry, changed his clothes and went to Xingyao.
The shareholder meeting was long and boring, and Zhong Xingran fell asleep listening to it, and was kicked by Qu Huaimin from time to time, so he managed to pull himself together.
Finally, when the meeting was over, Qu Huaimin led him to the office.
"Ranran, Dukang is waiting for you in my office. If you have anything to say later, don't do anything, and don't smash things." He chattered, "The jade sailboat on my desk costs 10,000+, don't knock it over for me. Oh, and the pure gold globe next to it... Hey, if there are no people in the conference room, I really don't want you to talk in my office."
Zhong Xingran pulled down his sunglasses a little, and looked at him inexplicably: "I also passed your office?"
He only remembered that he lifted Zhong Yunqi.
Qu Huaimin blushed, his nostrils opened and closed in anger, and he pointed at him, "How dare you mention that last time you fought backstage at a charity dinner, the follow-up public relations cost was more expensive than you broke my office! Of course , I say this not to allow you to lift my office, but just to remind you how much the company has put in for you!"
Zhong Xingran thought suspiciously, it seems that the problem between him and Du Kang is quite deep, what is the reason?
Du Kang, like everyone else in the band, is a brother he met when he was half a year old.They were not in the same class in high school, but they often played together.They were separated for a period of time during college, and later debuted together, and almost all of their schedules were tied together.
After Zhong Xingran went solo, his personal itinerary increased, so he couldn't meet them often.
He pushed open the door of the office, and Qu Huaimin stopped behind him.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the huge office, stood a boy's figure.
Zhong Xingran has not seen Du Kang for a long time, and he is still similar to his impression.
He is almost as tall as Zhong Xingran, and the young people are all about the height of Aibi. At that time, he was 1.9 meter long, and he drank milk desperately for more than a month to grow to [-] meters, but finally found that he could not grow up to [-] centimeter.
When he was in school, he and Zhong Xingran's face were called Lan Gao Shuangsha together, because they were both equally handsome and fierce.Zhong Xingran is because he always has a stinky face, and it looks like everyone owes him 80 yuan.Du Kang is because he has a scar under his left eye, which was left from a group fight with Zhong Xingran when he was in junior high school.
Hearing the sound of the door, Du Kang turned around.
He should have just returned from work, wearing a dark blue casual shirt and sneakers on his feet.Her hair was styled in a simple way, her skin was a little pale, her eyes were deep and handsome, and there was a lingering coldness in her eyes.
When he saw Zhong Xingran for the first time, his expression was not welcome, but deep disgust, as if he would pounce on him in the next second and die with him.
Qu Huaimin said, "Talk slowly, and be careful with my decorations."
After speaking, he closed the door and backed out.
With his hands in his pockets, Zhong Xingran looked at him from a distance, looking at his brother who had turned friend into enemy with a questioning face.
After confronting each other for a while, he still walked over, took out a pack of cigarettes and shook them, "Do you want it?"
It's not that they haven't quarreled before. It's common for boys to punch their fists, but very few boys have overnight feuds, and they usually forget about it after fighting.It was the first time he saw Du Kang with such an attitude.
Zhong Xingran used the old method before and took the initiative to reconcile.
Du Kang didn't pick up his cigarette, and said sarcastically, "Why, you really have two faces. Didn't he let you smoke?"
Zhong Xingran pondered for a while, not quite understanding why he suddenly mentioned Wen Ji Nian.
What kind of attitude should he have in five years to be natural enough?
"I won't smoke if he doesn't let me smoke." He replied in the same tone as before, and was about to take out a cigarette and hand it to him.
Du Kang suddenly became excited, stepped forward and knocked out Zhong Xing's cigarette, grabbed his collar with both hands, and the veins on his forehead twitched.
"You had the guts to do that kind of thing to him in front of me back then, so what is it now, you won't cherish it after you get it?" He gritted his teeth and said, his hand was so strong that he wanted to strangle Zhong Xingran to death, " Or, Mr. Qu called me here today just to listen to you show off? You know that I..."
He gasped for breath, his eyes were angry, but he couldn't continue the words behind him.
Zhong Xingran's face suddenly sank, and he instantly understood what Du Kang hadn't finished speaking.
He suppressed his anger and said word by word: "You fucking explain clearly to me."
Du Kang sneered, "I didn't make it clear last time, did I? Zhong Xingran, don't be so fucking self-righteous, Ji Nian doesn't like you at all! I was the first to find out about the situation in his family, and I was the first to help him with pain." I was the one who beat up those bastards, and I was the first one to spend his birthday with him... Does he really like you? No, it's just because he's had enough of being alone, and he's afraid to go back to his life before. What about you, what qualifications do you have to marry him at that time?"
His aggressive words completely overturned Zhong Xingran's cognition.
Zhong Xingran was furious, he swung away his hand that was holding onto his collar, and pulled him back violently.
"Fuck you! You know what you're just talking nonsense here? How could he not..." Halfway through his speech, he remembered the current situation and realized that he didn't know what Du Kang said.
Was it really Du Kang who was the first to know about his family situation?What happened to those bastards?Did Du Kang really help him celebrate his birthday?
He cursed furiously: "Fuck/Your uncle!"
Then he punched Du Kang in the face.
Du Kang had no intention of dodging at all, and punched the fist that was facing him.The two of them didn't hide, they punched each other in the face desperately, hit the floor-to-ceiling window shockingly, and rolled towards the sofa.
Both of them are people who often fight and fight since they were young and were called to read self-criticism. When they really did it, neither of them would accept the other, and they both knew that the other was an idol, and they deliberately hit the vulnerable places such as the eye sockets and the corners of the mouth.
Qu Huaimin was grinding coffee beans in the coffee room, when he heard the cleaning said that there was movement in the office, he threw down the coffee beans in a hurry and rushed in with someone.
What he was most worried about happened. Two people beat each other to death, nosebleeds flew everywhere, and the scene was a mess.
Qu Huaimin's first reaction was not to see people, but to check his jade ornaments. If it wasn't because it was too heavy, he would have moved out just now.Fortunately, the battlefield was in the reception area, and it didn't affect the area around the desk.
After making sure that all the valuables were intact, Qu Huaimin remembered to check the artist's face.
He took a look at Zhong Xingran's chin, and roared with grief: "You two bastards... bastard bastards! Even if you fight, you can't hit your face! How can you fight like this! This nose and chin are all bought Do you know the insurance! You will be filming an advertisement tomorrow. You will be joining the team in two days. You don’t want to be in this line anymore, do you?!”
Zhong Xingran was pressed by him and lifted his face up to stop the nosebleed, he was so angry that he gasped, Du Kang also got blood all over his face, turned his head with a bruised nose and swollen face without saying a word.
Qu Huaimin hated iron for being weak and said, "Don't go to Lubei for the next few days, and heal the wound on your face before you go."
"I'm going!" Zhong Xingran glared at Du Kang in protest.
Du Kang knew that he was going to film with Wen Ji Nian, and his face turned livid.
"Fuck you with a hammer!" Qu Huaimin scolded, "You want to be on the hot search again, don't you think it's an honor to have a face hurt? And you, Du Kang, all your work this month has been suspended, don't think you're going to terminate the contract I can't hide you in the snow, the contract expires in two years!"
Du Kang stood up abruptly, turned around and walked out the door without saying a word.
Qu Huaimin was taken aback by his action, and after he left, he said angrily: "Crazy! I knew he was a lunatic! This guy must be mentally ill. I kindly want to help him, lest he pay huge liquidated damages. He still doesn't appreciate it? I'm mad at me, I'm mad at me!"
Zhong Xingran said coldly: "Who knows, maybe he's seriously ill."
He didn't believe Du Kang's nonsense at all. Even if Wen Ji Nian didn't like him, he definitely wouldn't like Du Kang.
Du Kang lived up to his name, his character was like a pot of strong wine, he was the kind of person who would destroy it if he couldn't get it.When he was in junior high school, he liked a girl. In the second week after being rejected by her, the girl came to him crying and said that she was willing to be with him.
At that time, they didn't know what method Du Kang used, and they said that he had something.Later, Du Kang didn't have a relationship with her, and the girl transferred after half a month, and no one knew what happened.
If he uses this method to deal with Wen Jinian...
Zhong Xingran licked the damaged corner of his mouth, squinted his eyes and thought, he killed Du Kang.
However, he thought about it again, how could Du Kang like Wen Ji Nian?Isn't he straight?
Zhong Xingran couldn't sit still anymore, he wanted to see Wen Jinian immediately.
He stood up and said, "Mr. Qu, I'm going to the bathroom."
Who is Qu Huaimin, an old man who has been in the entertainment industry for decades, he knew what he was going to do when he saw his tail raised.
He widened his eyes and said angrily: "Fart, what do you want to do? Buy a plane ticket to Lubei? Let me tell you, Zhong Xingran, you are not allowed to go anywhere, just stay in the company dormitory for me. If I let you If I step out of the company, my surname will not be Qu!"
Qu Huaimin quickly asked the security guards to take Zhong Xingran to the dormitory downstairs, called Jiang Kun and Li Mingming over with a phone call, scolded them for not being in place, and asked them to guard Zhong Xingran 24 hours a day. Never let him appear in public.
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Kun and Li Mingming were sitting in the dormitory dedicated to trainees, opposite Zhong Xingran who was about to explode/explode.
Li Mingming saw him walking around violently, and persuaded him tactfully: "Ran Ran, it's useless even if you beat us to the ground, there are four security guards outside, and there are more than a dozen security guards at the gate, so don't go back and forth." Come on, sit down and let me put some iodine bar on you."
Jiang Kun was much calmer than him, perhaps because he was used to being scolded by Qu Huaimin, so he didn't have any symptoms of anxiety.
He picked up the phone, distracted himself from his work, and said, "Sit down first, and let Mingming help you deal with the wound. There is no need to rush this kind of thing. If you are really panicking, you can call Ji Nian."
"I can't tell clearly on the phone..." Zhong Xingran was halfway through speaking, and suddenly realized, "How do you know what happened?"
Jiang Kun glanced at Li Mingming and said, "Go to the pharmacy downstairs and buy some fire-reducing tea. In addition to applying iodine, he also needs to reduce the fire."
Li Mingming responded, pushed the door open and went out.
Zhong Xingran finally stopped walking around and stared at him suspiciously.
Jiang Kun sighed and said, "I didn't know this on purpose, but I was there at that party. We were having dinner at Du Kang's house, and when you accidentally saw something on his table, I was on the balcony Smoking. Then I saw you go out and punch him in front of everyone. I went over and looked at the thing, part of it was a year-end photo, and the other part was his diary."
"Actually, Ji Nian didn't know about this, but you stabbed him in front of him. Backstage at the charity dinner, you deliberately kissed Du Kang in front of Du Kang. He didn't want to do this in front of others, so he struggled a bit, and you became more and more aggressive. , Du Kang started fighting with you...don't look at me like that, I didn't want to peek, but I just happened to pass by that dressing room."
"Hmph, goddamn it was I who pierced it, he must have deliberately put it on the table for me to see." Zhong Xing said with a sullen face.
Wen Ji Nian in front of Du Kang... It is indeed something that his temper will do, no wonder Du Kang is going crazy.
Zhong Xingran thought about it for a second, his own wife, he could kiss whenever he wanted, and he had to choose the occasion?What's wrong with kissing right in front of him, you have to show him the kiss!
Jiang Kun could see his thoughts at a glance, and said helplessly: "So Boss Xiaozhong always said that you are immature, you are used to acting recklessly, and you have to take into account the feelings of the year, right? Have you asked him if he is willing? He It is not a tool you use to swear sovereignty, since you are together, you should choose to trust him."
Normally, he wouldn't talk to Zhong Xingran about this, but it's pitiful that this kid's eyes are so swollen today, it's not a solution to keep going around like this.
Jiang Kun was really afraid that one day he would be kicked by Wen Ji Nian for his writing, and he would be crazier than Du Kang.
Zhong Xingran fell silent.
That's right, he shouldn't care about Du Kang's thoughts, but should care about Wen Ji Nian's thoughts.
So what does Wen Ji Nian think, does he like himself more, or Du Kang?
Zhong Xingran spat in his heart, bah, he won't like Du Kang.
He couldn't help but want to fly to Wen Jinian and ask him if he was forced to stay by his side, and if what Du Kang said was all made up.Perhaps, Wen Ji Nian also remembered something from the past?
He really wanted to see him soon.
Three days later, the moon was dark and the wind was high.
Jiang Kun and Li Mingming were sleeping on bunk beds, snoring earth-shatteringly.
Zhong Xingran carried his own small package, which contained masks, sunglasses and a hat, as well as the Lejiang brand almond thin crispy egg tarts that Wen Ji Nian liked to eat, and the collector's edition that Wen Ji Nian liked that he stole from Qu Huaimin's office game console.
He stepped over the sleeping two people on his feet, quietly opened the window, put on his small backpack, grabbed the rope wrapped around the quilt that he had prepared earlier, and jumped into the window of the bathroom next door.
