After exhausting myself to death

Eight years ago, when the fourth season of "Extraordinary Life" was recorded, Shen Minghuan's drama was finished and his popularity skyrocketed.

This was also when the idea of ​​withdrawing from the circle arose.

At that time, he had already broken up with his family, was always arrogant, and did not have a close relationship with his classmates and roommates, so the original owner only told his only friends at the time - these five people.

They agreed to go hand in hand in the entertainment industry, and they agreed to fight side by side until they reached the shining star. In the eyes of those five people, Shen Minghuan was a person who regarded acting as his dream. How could he suddenly say that he wanted to quit the entertainment industry?

Shen Minghuan didn't say a word, as if he was secretive about the reason. The five people naturally thought that he had some difficulties, so they picked the wheat and hid where the camera couldn't capture it, hoping to ask clearly.

"Ming Huan, your career has just begun, why do you want to quit?"

"We are brothers. If you encounter any problems, you can talk to us."

"Shen Minghuan! You said acting is your dream!"

"Why, there has to be a reason, right?"

The five people surrounded Shen Minghuan in the corner with ferocious expressions. They opened and closed their lips and said something quickly. They even grabbed Shen Minghuan with their hands and seemed to be pushing them. Their attitude was very exciting.

If you can't hear the sound, the scene will indeed look like a bullying scene.

At that time, a reporter happened to come to interview Director Zhao Tianxing. The interview location was actually some distance away from them, so no one noticed that the camera had completely captured this scene.

Later, Shen Minghuan announced that he was quitting the industry, which caused uproar in the city. Some fans dug up this video.

Director Zhao was interviewed at the recording location of the variety show. There were busy staff in the background. The figures of six people were hidden in the lower right corner and could not be seen clearly. Precisely because it is so hidden, the possibility of bullying is confirmed.

Otherwise, why would their regular guests hide in corners and sneak around? It's not because he did something shameful.

But there were indeed no cameras or even surveillance in the place they were looking for, and they picked the wheat in advance without recording the audio, so they really couldn't produce any evidence.

Even Xu Xiangdong and others who checked Shen Minghuan's past after joining the institute were skeptical about this matter. After all, in their eyes, it was impossible for Mr. Shen, who was so powerful and gentle and kind-hearted, to do anything intentional. Things that are wronged.

So Shen Minghuan wanted to record a variety show with this group of people, and the country was very wary of this.

Xu Xiangdong glanced at Qi Yunzhou, nodded politely, and prepared to leave.

To be honest, he could tell that these five people were more or less targeting Mr. Shen, and he didn't want to give the other party a good look.

But adults are always good at whitewashing peace. If Shen Minghuan still wants to stay, he can't make the relationship too tense, otherwise Shen Minghuan will still be in trouble.

Qi Yunzhou felt that this person did not look like an assistant. He had never seen an assistant with such a demeanor in the entertainment industry, but he felt that this was not something he could ask based on his current relationship.

Qi Yunzhou put the snacks into the cabinet. He hesitated for a moment and still asked hesitantly: "Ming Huan, is there any misunderstanding between us?"

Shen Minghuan looked up from behind the tablet in confusion: "Is there any?"

"Yes." He asked in one sentence, and the next words became much easier. Qi Yunzhou looked at him steadily: "If it is not a misunderstanding, why do you... alienate us?"

After all, he changed the more pointed "framing" to "alienation."

Shen Minghuan blinked as if suddenly enlightened, and said with a slight apology: "If you are referring to the incident eight years ago, I can only say - I don't know."

Qi Yunzhou frowned: "You don't know?"

Only Shen Minghuan in the world could possibly know that he was the only person directly involved, but his expression did not seem to be fake.

Shen Minghuan explained: "I..."

"Wait a minute, Ming Huan, wait!" Xu Xiangdong walked to the door and vaguely heard a few words. He was so frightened that he took a breath and turned around quickly to interrupt Shen Minghuan's remarks.

Shen Minghuan said "Ah", "Can't you tell me?"

"Of course not..." Xu Xiangdong was stunned for a moment and realized that he couldn't think of the reason for a while.

If Shen Minghuan wants to contact his family and friends from the past, his current abnormality will inevitably be discovered, and the country has already predicted this.

So logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with telling other people. It was just that he was used to being cautious, and just now he reflexively spoke up to stop her.

Xu Xiangdong: "..."

Xu Xiangdong smiled coquettishly: "Let me ask for permission first."

The word "asking for instructions" was used strangely, and it sounded like he had joined some strange organization.

Qi Yunzhou glanced at Shen Minghuan and saw that the man was completely oblivious and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong. He looked slightly solemn and reminded tentatively: "Ming Huan, if you encounter any problems, you can tell us."

It's exactly the same thing he said eight years ago.

Shen Minghuan smiled and responded warmly: "Okay."

Guan Yang was lively and he ran all the way back, leaving even Lin Jiashu and the camera behind. I don’t know why, even though I could just walk back slowly, I insist on torturing myself until I’m sweating profusely.

He received a warm greeting from Shen Minghuan, "Guan Xiaoyang, sit down and rest for a while, are you tired?"

Guan Yang was flattered, and he took a step back warily: "No, I'm not tired, what do you want to do?"

"How can you not be tired after sweating so much?" Shen Minghuan handed him the carrot juice: "Freshly squeezed, drink it quickly."

Guan Yang: "???"

He glanced at the room full of staff. In front of so many cameras, Shen Minghuan probably wouldn't poison him, right?

Lin Jiashu arrived late and started complaining before he even entered the house: "Guan Yang, why are you running so fast?"

When Shen Minghuan saw that Guan Yang refused to drink, he immediately abandoned him coldly and ruthlessly, and ran towards Lin Jiashu with a smile on his face, "Lin Xiaoshu, sit down and rest for a while, are you tired?"

He put carrot juice into Lin Jiashu's hand and urged: "Freshly squeezed, drink it quickly."

Lin Jiashu didn't understand what he meant. He didn't have Guan Yang's superior brain power. Staring at Shen Minghuan's expectant eyes, he took a sip blankly, "Um...thank you?"

After the goal was achieved, Shen Minghuan turned away and waved lazily, "You're welcome."

Guan Yang: "..."

Guan Yang finally realized the danger of people's hearts. He suddenly realized and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Brother Zhou, Shen Minghuan gave Shushu the carrot juice you squeezed for him!"

"Cough cough cough." Lin Jiashu almost spit out. He was holding the remaining half glass of carrot juice "Qi Yunzhou gave to Shen Minghuan". It was neither a drink nor a drink.

Qi Yunzhou, who was busy in the kitchen, smiled helplessly.

This scene was too common for them in the past. Shen Minghuan used to be picky about food, Wen Jianyan and Chu He always spoiled him, and Lin Jiashu couldn't help but hide it for him most of the time, but Guan Yang would complain to Qi Yunzhou every time he found out.

If it were in the past, Qi Yunzhou would have gone out to seek justice by now. First, he scolded Shen Minghuan with a straight face, two at most. No matter how much, he would not be able to part with it, and then he softly advised Shen Minghuan to eat well.

It should be like this, but unfortunately times have changed and he is not sure whether he is still qualified to point fingers at Shen Minghuan now.

Wen Jianyan and Chu He also heard the laughter and laughter outside, and they still looked the same as before, as if the estrangement over the years did not exist.

They paused and continued their work in silence.

Everyone present except Shen Minghuan knew how to cook, and the five of them quickly prepared a feast. It wasn't until all the dishes were served and everyone took their seats that Shen Minghuan slowly put down the tablet.

Guan Yang complained in a low voice: "Shen Minghuan must have been the kind of naughty kid that adults disliked the most when he was a child. When it was time to work, no one was around, and he even had to wait for meals."

"I'm doing business!" Shen Minghuan appeared faintly.

Guan Yang sneered disdainfully.

After so many years, it was rare to get together like this. The five of them all tried their best to cook their best dishes, but there are high and low levels of cooking skills.

So Shen Minghuan almost only touched the dishes cooked by Qi Yunzhou, which made Guan Yang very dissatisfied.

Their dining table is rectangular, with people sitting on both sides.

Probably because he was afraid that Guan Yang would be impulsive, he and Shen Minghuan happened to sit on a diagonal, with the farthest distance between them.

Guan Yang stood up, walked half a circle to Shen Minghuan, put a large chopstick of fish-flavored shredded pork into his bowl, and then looked at him eagerly.

The fish-flavored shredded pork was made by him.

Guan Yang thought, either Shen Minghuan endured the frustration and ate it, or he lost his temper and threw the bowl and walked away and was scolded by netizens after the broadcast. No matter which outcome, he would be very happy.

Shen Minghuan considered himself a good person with a kind heart. Seeing Guan Yang's expression of earnestness, he decided to force himself.

Shen Minghuan spent two minutes mentally building up, then mustered up the courage to pick up a small piece of meat and put it into his mouth.

Shen Minghuan: "..."

Shen Minghuan was silent for a moment, then picked up the bowl and pulled all the remaining shredded fish-flavored pork into Lin Jiashu's bowl next door.

The smile on Guan Yang's face froze.

He stamped his feet vigorously: "Shen Minghuan, what do you mean!"

Shen Minghuan sighed and comforted him tolerantly: "Don't worry, I know you worked hard, but I also worked hard."

"puff."

Lin Jiashu couldn't help laughing. When he met Guan Yang's threatening gaze, he tried hard to suppress the smile on his lips and picked up the fish-flavored shredded pork in the bowl: "I'm sorry, this fish-flavored shredded pork tastes so good... Laughed, hahahahaha.”

The air was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.

Guan Yang sat back on his seat in disgrace and looked at Qi Yunzhou aggrievedly: "Brother Zhou, is it really delicious?"

Qi Yunzhou couldn't help laughing, "No, it tastes better than before. Xiaoyang's cooking skills have improved a lot."

After eight years of not seeing each other, Shen Minghuan has become even more picky about food.

Qi Yunzhou's temperament was well known to everyone, and his praise accounted for at least 80% of the consolation element, but Guan Yang still got affirmation from it, and he became cautious again.

Not to mention the quarrel with Lin Jiashu, he insisted on asking Shen Minghuan for a few words every few minutes, but he failed every time, but he still didn't remember it long.

After the meal, everyone consciously cleared away the dishes. As soon as Guan Yang finished wiping the table, he habitually went to tease Shen Minghuan a few words, and found that this person disappeared without knowing when, and even took away the tablet on the sofa.

Guan Yang wandered around the living room, grabbed someone at random and asked, "Chuhe, do you know where Shen Minghuan went?"

Chu He had just been kicked out of the kitchen by his brothers. He couldn't take the time to clean up the messed up pillows: "I just saw him going upstairs. He should have gone back to his room."

Lin Jiashu was also kicked out of the kitchen by Qi Yunzhou.

He heard this conversation when he arrived and hesitated: "Guan Yang, you seem to care about Shen Minghuan?"

"How is that possible?" Guan Yang shouted, "Don't use such a disgusting word as 'care', I obviously hate it!"

Without even a rebuttal, after he finished speaking, the air suddenly became quiet.

Lin Jiashu rarely agreed and cooperated. His eyes were calm and serious, and he looked at Guan Yang seriously.

Guan Yang was a little panicked for some reason, and his eyes evaded hastily.

"Guan Yang, even I can see it."

Chu He said dullly: "Admit it, you are a traitor."
