District 9

In the small bar, the lights are dim and the music is soothing.

Lin Nianlei was sitting on a high chair, pouring herself a glass of wine. Her pretty face was full of ridicule and she said: "Brother, I helped you so much today, and you didn't even say I took the initiative to salute you." Can I have two cups?"

"Come on, come on."

Qin Yu took off his coat, reached out and poured a full glass of wine, and replied shamelessly: "I know you are interested in me and have passionate love for me, but I still want to thank you. I don't have your help today, brother. Maybe I really won’t be able to get out.”

"Go away, you are shameless. It's obvious that you have always wanted to have a story with me." Lin Nianlei curled her lips and said, "I'll take a sip and you'll do it."

"...Okay, done."

After saying that, the two of them clinked their glasses, and Qin Yu drank the whole drink in one gulp.

Lin Nianlei picked up a tissue, wiped her red lips, and said carelessly: "I beg you to help me."

"What?" Qin Yu endured the spicy taste in his mouth, lowered his head and continued to pour the wine.

"After you return to Songjiang, help me say hello to the landlord of No. 88 Courtyard." Lin Nianlei responded with a smile: "I can't live in that house for the time being."

Qin Yu was stunned on the spot, the hand holding the wine bottle trembled inexplicably, and then he pretended to be calm and asked: "Haha, what's the matter? Did your webcast station assign you a house?"

Lin Nianlei clasped her little hands, stared at Qin Yu's side face, and said with a smile: "Sister is resigning and looking for another job, not in Songjiang."

What needs to come will still come, and what needs to be said will eventually be said.

Lin Nianlei suddenly found him just now, and Qin Yu actually had this premonition in his heart. But when she said it herself, the loss in his heart was completely difficult to express in words.

Especially when Lin Nianlei mentioned Courtyard No. 88, Qin Yu felt very uncomfortable.

Silence, after a long silence, Qin Yu looked at Lin Nianlei with a smile: "It's good, people have to go to higher places."

"I didn't choose it, haha." Lin Nianlei smiled reluctantly.

"Those who have skills will find a way out at home; those who don't have skills will find their own way out." Qin Yu couldn't help but pick up the wine glass, lowered his head and took a sip: "It's quite normal."

Lin Nianlei poked her right elbow on the small bar and held her chin with her white and tender hands: "Do you still remember that I drank too much last time?"

"Remember, Lao Mao went to pick up Xiaomi, and I went to pick you up." Qin Yu smiled: "You still have a fever."

"It wasn't a gathering of sisters, it was just that I was in a bad mood and wanted to drink." Lin Nianlei blinked her big eyes, looked at the bright light and replied: "During the Chinese New Year, my family talked to me and asked me to go to the Eight I didn’t agree to study in the district, so I ran out on New Year’s Eve. Later, my brother Lin Xiao... came to Songjiang to talk to me again... but I also rejected him."

Qin Yu was stunned because he had never heard Lin Nianlei mention these things, and he had never even heard this news from her best friend Xiaomi. In daily contact with her, Lin Nianlei was always a lovely girl full of sense of humor, and she never showed her melancholy and resentful side in front of her.

"Then why didn't you refuse this time?" Qin Yu couldn't help but ask.

Lin Nianlei smiled, picked up the cup and took another sip: "I don't want to argue anymore."

"Is it because of me?" Qin Yu clenched his fists and continued to ask with a frown.

Lin Nianlei looked at him and smiled: "Don't feel good about yourself anymore. Who do you think you are? Why should I make a choice because of you?"

Qin Yu felt even more uncomfortable when he looked at her expression.

"Come on, let's hurt each other." Lin Nianlei raised her glass and said, "Drink, drink."

Qin Yu looked at her, picked up the cup, and drank it all in one gulp.

After that, the two stopped talking or mentioning Lin Nianlei's possible departure from Songjiang. They just drank glasses of wine and listened to the music in the bar.

I don't know when the service boy came over to inform them that the store was closing.

Lin Nianlei didn't drink enough, so she bullied Qin Yu into paying for two more bottles of foreign wine, and the two of them staggered onto the street.

In the dark night, with dim lights on the main street, Lin Nianlei took Qin Yu's arm and suddenly turned around and asked, "Do you have any plans for yourself?"

Qin Yu was startled, shook his head vigorously and said with a stiff tongue: "It wasn't there when I first came here, but it is now."

"What plan?" Lin Nianlei burped.

Qin Yu stood on the side of the road, thought seriously for a long time and replied: "Become a director? Or if you work harder, become a director?"

"That's not enough." Lin Nianlei shook her little head.

"What's not enough?" Qin Yu was a little dull.

Lin Nianlei raised her head and stared at Qin Yu, her eyes suddenly turned red: "Let me go back to No. 88 Courtyard... It's not enough."

Qin Yu stared, looking down at the girl in front of him. After being stunned for a long time, he suddenly threw the wine bottle on the ground: "How fucking much is enough?!"

Lin Nianlei stroked Qin Yu's cheek with her right hand, her eyes were extremely bright, and she pointed to the wide road next to her with her left hand and said: "Xiao Yu, our generation is unfortunate, living in an era of precarity, where everything is primitive and chaotic. But in In such an era, it is also full of opportunities. No matter who you are, no matter what background and experience you have, you may stand in the spotlight and criticize Fang Qiu. I really don’t want you to just sink into one field and give Who should be a political thug to compete for temporary gains with those who have never seen how vast the sky is and how vast the land is? I hope that one day, you can scare those who once looked down upon you...let their choices finally It becomes a compromise.”

Qin Yu felt goosebumps all over his body as he listened to Lin Nianlei's words and was speechless for a long time.

"I'm waiting for you in District 8..." Lin Nianlei held back tears and poked his chest with her delicate jade fingers: "If you can't come, tell me in advance..."

"You're about to get married halfway, why should I be your best man?!" Qin Yu asked through gritted teeth.

"Snapped!"

Lin Nianlei lowered her head and smashed the wine bottle, and replied with a stubborn expression: "If you can come, then no one can control the rest of my life."

When Qin Yu heard her promise, he was excited and emotional. He put his arms around her neck, lowered his head and kissed her.

"Get out of here, I'm not ready... Wuwu..." Lin Nianlei pushed Qin Yu: "It's too sudden."

Jiedaokou.

Lin Xiao sat in the car and watched the actions of his sister and Qin Yu, unable to look straight at them. He wanted to reach out and press the car horn, but after thinking for a while he decided not to do so.

After Qin Yu kissed Lin Nianlei's lips for a long time, he finally looked at her and confessed: "Girl, I like you."

Lin Nianlei stared at him blankly and responded with a smile: "I like you too, Sir."

Tens of seconds later.

Lin Nianlei walked along the street towards the bright light, while Qin Yu stood there, motionless.

After a while, a clear voice suddenly came from the empty street: "...Qin Yu, I'm waiting for you!"
