When Chen Ruoxi returned home, Ye Lanqiu waited for Lin Yue.
There's not much coffee left in the cup, and "I Don't Deserve" on the speakers is coming to an end.
"There is no opponent in love. You play chess with yourself."
"It's not too late."
"carefully."
"Write your about."
"Describe how I love you."
"But you left me with a smile."
"..."
Ye Lanqiu looked dumbfounded when he saw him imitating Jay Chou's singing on TV: "I think you can take advantage of this trend to make your debut."
Lin Yue said: "You really want me to engage in music. If one day I become a big star, wouldn't I even have time to drink coffee with you?"
While speaking, he called the waiter with a snap of his fingers. After asking for two brands of whiskey and receiving no answer, he ordered a glass of Chivas Regal 18 Years Old.
Ye Lanqiu said: "Bragging again."
Lin Yue said: "Conscience of heaven and earth, I have really been a singer, and there is a beautiful girl from Xinjiang who has chased me for most of China."
Ye Lanqiu rolled her eyes at him: "You are good at making up stories, stepdaughter killer, another star-chasing ex-girlfriend makes her debut after the three Shura sisters."
"Alas." Lin Yue took a sip of whiskey and said, "In today's world, no one believes the truth."
Ye Lanqiu crossed his arms: "Let's talk about business, didn't we have to record for more than an hour? Why did it come out so quickly?"
In the afternoon, Liu Hui from the column team of "Ninghu Online" asked Lin Yue to come to the station to record the program in the evening. He agreed. After eating the dumplings, the two of them came here together. Because of their experiences in the past few days, she had a strong affinity for the camera lens. Resistant, Lin Yue didn't take her with him and asked her to wait in a nearby cafe.
According to Liu Hui, although the program is only about 20 minutes long, considering various situations that may occur in the middle, it will take at least an hour to complete the recording. As a result, she sat here and waited for just over half an hour. Lin Jumped right back.
Lin Yue replied: "I'm in good condition."
Ye Lanqiu said: "Drink quickly. After you finish drinking, you have to go to Rose Hotel No. 22 to get something."
Lin Yue nodded and took the time to finish the wine in the glass.
Ye Lanqiu called the waiter to come over and pay the bill. When he picked up his bag and was about to leave, he raised the SLR camera he carried with him and took a photo of her profile.
"If you like taking pictures, you should become a photographer."
"But I only like to photograph you."
Ye Lanqiu sighed, took the bag and left.
…
After checking out of Hotel No. 22 and returning to the car with his personal belongings and Xia Hou, Ye Lanqiu first sent Lin Yue back to his residence, and then drove back to the rented single apartment.
She closed the door and put the clothes that should be washed into the washing machine. With the sound of the drum humming, she went to the bathroom and took a hot shower. She wrapped herself in a bathrobe and walked out. She glanced at the weight placed in front of the floor-length mirror. I didn't dare to weigh myself on the scale, so I threw myself on the familiar double bed, smelling the familiar smell on the bedding, but my mood became heavier and heavier.
While she was waiting for Lin Yue in the cafe, the assistant of the doctor who treated her called her and asked her why she didn't go to the hospital for a review and go through the hospitalization procedures today. In her case, if she didn't receive active treatment, taking medication alone would be absolutely impossible. It is impossible to control the disease.
After Lin Yue came back, she pretended to be fine just like in the afternoon, but now that she was alone, all the pretense and forced smiles were meaningless.
The contract has expired, and she really doesn't know how to choose. The more she likes it, the harder it is to let go, and the harder it is to let go, the more painful it will be in the future.
Why didn’t I meet him until the end of my life? In her nearly 30 years of life, her desire to live has never been stronger than now.
I walked the Yangtze River Road many times, listened to him curse the truck drivers who were indifferent to life on the Fourth Ring Road with vicious words, ate the wasabi sushi that made my nose snot and shed tears, and held hands with each other for decades. Just think about it. A very happy thing.
Meow
Meow
The black cat jumped on the bed, nuzzled in front of her and licked her face, as if to comfort her.
At this moment, the phone screen lit up, showing that someone had sent her a WeChat message.
Ye Lanqiu took it in her hand and saw that it was Yang Jiaqi who had just resigned in the morning. After burying the time capsule, she was so annoyed by Yang Jiaqi on the way back to the city that she finally chose to compromise. , added each other on WeChat.
That's a link.
Yang Jiaqi also said that she was very urgent, it was about Lin Yue, and asked her to turn on her computer and browse it immediately.
As soon as she heard that it was about Lin Yue, all her worries disappeared. She quickly got up from the bed, walked to the living room, opened her laptop, entered the URL Yang Jiaqi gave her in the browser address bar, and pressed Enter.
After buffering for a while, the system starts playing the video.
Four people sat around a semicircular table. The first person from the left was wearing a retro mandarin jacket. She was about 60 years old and her gray hair was meticulously groomed. She had seen it on the "Today's Event" program and was invited as a guest. The invitation to comment on her refusal to give up her seat sparked a heated discussion on the Internet. A lot of words were said at that time, which generally meant that she deserved to be punished for being bullied online. According to the host's introduction, the old man is a writer surnamed Liang from the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles. The second person from the left is a bald man with a round face and a special sense of joy. His surname is Jiang. He is the host of a talk show and has commented After her "mistress" thing, there was a woman to the left. She also knew it. She was the girl with glasses who helped Liu Quanfu talk in the car. As for the fourth person, it was naturally Lin Yue, and the host was sitting a little outside the table. sitting on the chair, looking sideways at the four of them.
Behind the semicircular table is the background wall. In the middle are the words "Ninghu Online" in capital letters, and next to it is the logo of the TV station.
The video is incomplete and was played some time after the interview began.
Lin Yue looked at the writer surnamed Liang from the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles and said: "The old man fell on the road and there was no one to help him. It's because young people are too indifferent. Have you never thought that an important reason for this situation is that the old people in society can do it themselves?" You are also a writer of the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles. I think it is a lie. Many foreigners are willing to help the elderly, but the Chinese people do not have the courage to do so. Don’t you know why this happens? You still pretend to be confused because you understand that it is not enough to protect the interests of the helpers. I won’t help anyone who is harmed by legal rules and cases. It’s not that I don’t have love, but the price I pay for showing love may be heavy. It’s already difficult to gain a foothold in this society. I can’t afford more pressure. Oh, the benefits of indifference You have them all taken over. When young people come here, they must be moral, dedicated, and dedicated. This is not promoting traditional virtues, this is called hooliganism."
"You...you...you..." The writer surnamed Liang was so angry that he shivered: "What advantage has the old man taken from you?"
"Let's just talk about the urban transportation system. There are senior tickets and free tickets. There are preferential treatment for the elderly in major parks and scenic spots. There are senior universities, activity centers, nursing homes, etc. for whom they are not young people anyway; the community provides warmth every year, right? There are federations of literary and art circles like you, which are dominated by old stereotypes. They hold tea parties every year, give out holiday gifts, and various allowances. Where does the money come from? In addition, I didn’t pay pensions before, but now I receive a salary higher than that of young people. Those pensioners, whose money is spent on these? The city coordinates the city’s money. I won’t say where the taxes come from. To put it in the simplest terms, selling land is the big deal. Housing prices must keep rising. Money can only increase year by year to maintain the growing financial expenses, right? Then who will sell the house to, the elderly or the young? It is said that some experts are studying the possibility of delaying retirement. Haha, people who are receiving pensions immediately will study it. It's really ironic when people who pay pensions can adopt pensions so that they can always have pensions. You see, if the oil scraped on young people is subsidized to the elderly, even in the animal world, once the living environment becomes It's bad. Animals will also suppress their reproductive instincts. What's more, more and more young people in humans choose not to marry, have sex, or only have one child. The imbalance of population structure will bring about more serious social problems, leading to the continued deterioration of the living environment. This is almost an unsolvable dilemma, so do you still have the courage to say that the elderly did not take advantage of the young? Don’t talk all day about the defeated post-80s and the irresponsible post-80s. If society collapses, you 40 will be indispensable. The responsibility of those born in the 50s, 60s and 70s.”
The writer surnamed Liang was so angry that his face turned red and his nose was crooked with anger. However, Lin Yue's words were very logical and reasonable. He couldn't think of a way to fight back for a moment.
"It's rude, so rude...you...don't forget that one day you will become an old man."
The question goes back to the argument in the movie that Chen Ruoxi told the team members that if an old man falls, he must help him, because we too will grow old one day.
Yes, Lin Yue will also grow old one day, and this question is a bit heartbreaking.
