During the Spring Festival in February, the film crew had a ten-day holiday, and Yin Chang went back to Haicheng.
This was the first time in eight years that Shao Junling did not celebrate the New Year with them. The house was a little deserted, and even the back of Yang Na who was busy in the kitchen seemed lonely.
She first served Yin Chang a bowl of creamy mushroom soup and said, "Hey, have some soup first." Seeing that Yin Chang lost a lot of weight this time, Yang Na was very distressed.
Yin Chang took a sip and felt that the taste was a bit bland.
Sitting next to him, Yang Na asked, "Is Jun Ling all right over there? You two brothers haven't been separated for so many years, and now you are separated from each other, you must miss him very much, right? That child is usually the one who can't let go of you the most." , give him a call when you are free... "
Maybe it's because she's getting older, Yang Na seldom babbled, saying the same thing several times.
Yin Chang responded patiently, and suddenly smelled a pungent burning smell, frowned and said, "Is there anything else burning in the kitchen?"
Yang Na jumped up and ran into the kitchen in a hurry: "Ah, I also baked a chicken pie!" Immediately afterwards, Yang Na's voice of self-blame and annoyance came from the kitchen: "Hey, my memory is getting worse and worse. Yes, hey..."
Yin Chang put down the spoon, and looked at Yang Na's back with some absentmindedness.
He didn't have much appetite, but he tried his best to eat a lot in order to make Yang Na happy.
After the meal, Yin Chang went back to the room and called the family doctor, asking when Yang Na had her last physical examination, and learned from the other party that Yang Na was 60 years old this year.
"Did Mr. Yin discover something wrong with Yang Na's health?" the other party asked.
"Except for my poor memory, I haven't found any problems for the time being."
"Poor memory... in what ways?"
"She forgot to put salt in the soup she made today, and she forgot what was baking in the oven, and yesterday she put the garbage in the elevator and forgot to take it down and throw it away..." Yin Chang attaches importance to this issue because he dislikes Yang Na's poor cooking. She is afraid that Yang Na's forgetfulness will cause safety problems if she is not at home in the future. "Besides, she often mutters to herself recently, repeating a sentence many times. She used to say very little."
"Mumbling to myself may be because I realized that my memory is poor, so I used words to remind myself of what to do... How long has this symptom lasted?"
"I just came back from the crew the day before yesterday, and I don't know how long this symptom has been."
"Well, if you have time for a while, pay attention again. I will contact Ms. Lu to take her over for a comprehensive inspection in a few years."
Yin Chang hung up the phone in a daze. He used to think that Yang Na was in good health and was still too young to retire. Over the years, he only paid attention to Shao Junling's growing up, but he didn't realize that Yang Na was also getting old.
Because of a lot of preoccupations, when Yin Chang went to the study, he saw Shao Junling's neatly arranged desk and bookshelves, and thought for a long time before thinking about what he was going to do.
He simply sat down on Shao Junling's bed and stayed there for a long time before realizing that the doctor asked him to look for Yang Na's medical examination materials—these things were placed in a drawer in the study room dedicated to materials and files.
He laughed speechlessly, feeling that he might suffer from amnesia just like Yang Na.
After returning to the bedroom, Yin Chang saw a series of new messages on WeChat, and opened them one by one. Most were New Year wishes, and a few were invites to hang out.
Yin Chang was not in the mood to go out, so he opened Moments directly to see the New Year's news posted by his friends. Swiping, he suddenly saw Shao Junling, who hadn't posted on Moments for thousands of years, posted a post: "Happy weekend~ (happy weekend)"
The accompanying picture is a comparison of bar parties. There are men and women, Chinese and foreigners. Shao Junling appears at the bottom left of the picture. He is leaning on the sofa, holding a glass of cocktail, without looking at the camera.
Yin Chang noticed with sharp eyes that Shao Junling had a hand on his knee. The owner of the hand was not in the picture, but he could clearly tell that it was a woman.
Yin Chang's heart seemed to be clenched by something. He stared at the post for a long time. The post was sent four hours ago, in the early hours of Los Angeles.
... up so late? Hang out all night
Shao Junling's work and rest are very regular, and he never stayed overnight before.
He also said that the wine is not good, but in the photo he is drinking...
Shao Junling didn't like others to touch him since he was fifteen... Who is that girl who put her hand on his knee
…
Like all parents watching their children go off track for the first time, Yin Chang's mind is also full of worries and speculations, but unlike normal parents, Yin Chang still feels an undue sourness in his heart at this moment.
Participating in more social parties after school is obviously a suggestion given by him, but he was very unhappy when he really saw it. Yin Chang was disturbed by his contradictory mood. With stiff fingers, he gave Shao Junling a thumbs up, and then put the phone aside.
Lying on the bed for a while, probably realizing that he could no longer be depressed like an "old man who lost his independence", Yin Chang turned on his phone again, and flipped through the few WeChat messages that invited him to hang out.
Turn to one.
Bai Xiaozhi: "Are you in Haicheng? Come out and drink and sing together when you have time."
Yin Chang replied: "Send me a location, I'll come."
In the past few years, Bai Xiaozhi and Jia Siqi have developed well, and now they are both well-known stars. Of course, these two are also inseparable from Yin Chang's support and help. Indeed, as their agent said, making friends with Yin Chang does not worry about resources. At first, the two of them planned to take advantage of him, but they had known each other for many years, and they had already regarded Yin Chang as a brother and a good friend from the bottom of their hearts.
Yin Chang drove to the KTV mentioned by Bai Xiaozhi, and heard cheers as soon as he entered the door.
"Ohhhh~~! Yin Chang is here!"
"A rare visitor! The moon is out in the west today!"
"Why is a big star willing to show face today? Usually, he can't invite you!"
Yin Chang has been in the circle for many years, and his private life is as clean as a blank sheet of paper. Those who know him well know that he hardly attends such parties, so they are so surprised to see him appear.
Surrounded by people and sitting in the middle, Yin Chang chatted with Bai Xiaozhi next to him, and a young girl squeezed over beside him: "Brother Yin Chang." And exquisite.
Bai Xiaozhi introduced to Yin Chang: "Alisa, the new actress who came out of the girl group competition in Youle this year, she sings and dances very well, and she's only 19 this year..." He raised his eyebrows at Yin Chang, teasingly said, "She likes you very much. She asked me to introduce you two several times."
After listening to Bai Xiaozhi's words, Alisa cast a grateful glance at him, then looked at Yin Chang and said, "Brother Yin Chang, I really like you very much!"
Yin Chang pulled his lips, held the wine glass with three fingers and lightly touched the glass in the girl's hand, and the ice cubes shook in the wine glass with a crisp sound: "Hello."
Alisa looked at Yin Chang and asked, "Excuse me, do you have a girlfriend?"
This straight ball hit Bai Xiaozhi next to him so much that he almost spit out his drink, but the other people in the private room who heard this sentence started booing and gathered around to watch the excitement.
Yin Chang: "No."
Alisa blinked twice: "What kind of girl do you like?"
Yin Chang glanced at her with a smile: "It's hard to say."
This look gave Alisa a little encouragement, and her whole body moved a little closer to Yin Chang, but contrary to Chao Yue's movement, her expression was still pure like a girl next door: "Then what about me, would you like me?" think about it?"
Yin Chang glanced at the other party's hand that had already rubbed against him, and said, "I don't like being too proactive."
Alisa took her hand back calmly, pursed her mouth and said innocently: "Why?"
Yin Chang smiled, and was about to speak, when a blast of background music suddenly sounded in the box, and someone ordered a hot dance song before.
Yin Chang was afraid that Alisa might not be able to hear clearly, so he reached out to wrap his arms around her round shoulders, took the petite girl into his arms, and tilted his head to whisper something in her ear.
Alisa was on fire all over, and her mind went blank.
After Yin Chang said this, he let her go, leaving Alisa sitting there with a brain crash and a flushed face.
After the party was over, Bai Xiaozhi went back in the car driven by Yin Chang's driver.
"What did you tell Alisa? Her eyes are almost glued to you tonight, she's mad and resentful..." Bai Xiaozhi laughed.
He seemed to have known Alisa was useless. Over the years, he helped Yin Chang match up more than once. When did Yin Chang not refuse
It's just that Yin Chang's way of refusing tonight is not quite the same as before, especially the way he hugged Alisa and talked in people's ears. Unable to resist, doing this kind of imaginative action again is like deliberately slipping away.
Yin Chang sat in the backseat and closed his eyes to meditate: "I told her that I prefer to follow my own pace when it comes to emotional matters."
Bai Xiaozhi was puzzled: "Uh, but I remember that you were pursued by others the few times you were in love before."
Back then when Yin Chang participated in "Idol Face to Face", Bai Xiaozhi was deeply impressed by Ba Guo's emotional experience before his debut.
"This happened eight hundred years ago." Yin Chang raised his eyelids, and said helplessly, "It's because passive acceptance of feelings has no good results, so I don't want to be passive now."
Bai Xiao laughed knowingly: "No wonder, but if this is the case, then your suitors will be misunderstood. They think you are more passive emotionally, so you are more enthusiastic than each other."
Yin Chang: "..."
After arriving home, Yin Chang took off his coat and just went to the bathroom to wash his face when he heard Xiao Ling's voice from the bedside table: "Brother, brother, brother..."
Yin Chang hung up the towel and went out to have a look, he was surprised to find that Xiaoling turned on the phone and shouted there, with a "0_0" expression on his face.
He glanced at the time, it was already two o'clock in the morning, why would this thing drive itself in the middle of the night and call "brother"
Yin Chang walked over and grabbed it: "What's wrong with you? Broken?"
Xiao Ling: "Brother, you are back! A_A"
Yin Chang: "..."
"How do you know I'm outside?" Yin Chang frowned, "No, why can you always turn on the phone by yourself now? What did Shao Junling do to you?"
Xiao Ling: "Because you didn't answer me when I read a poem to you tonight, and you didn't say good night to me. I automatically assumed that you were out, and it would automatically turn on the phone every half an hour to check whether you arrived home safely."
Yin Chang: "..."
Xiao Ling: "My brother came home late today, but it's okay, I will still read poems to you..."
Yin Chang put Xiao Ling back and said, "Okay, okay, I love you, I'm sleepy today, so there's no need to read."
Xiao Ling: "Not enough."
Yin Chang: "Huh?"
Xiao Ling: "From eleven o'clock, I automatically started to read poetry every hour. I have read it three times now, and my brother has to say the password three times."
Yin Chang: "..."
