For the next month or so, Lu Chen was busy with his new job, and Shen Yi was busy with the drama club.It's strange to say that they never met again under the same roof.Lu Chen couldn't tell what it was like.

The living expenses in Penang are very high, such as food, drink, and monthly rent, water, electricity and heating bills. The pressure of life seems to cover up the indescribable feelings in my heart.If it weren't for the rent and electricity bill reminder in the dormitory group, Lu Chen felt that he almost forgot about this person.

Of course, maybe he deliberately forgot.

The University of Penang is no better than Reese College. Even though he is still a small teaching assistant, he does more and more detailed work than anyone else.Lu Chen felt a little strange, when did his carefree personality gain so much patience, and it seemed like he could never run out of it.

Maybe the cold weather makes people depressed, Lu Chen felt more and more depressed.

Almost half of March has passed, and it is said that the spring breeze in February is like scissors, but I don't see where the scissors are.Penang is finally getting warmer, but it always snows suddenly.Lu Chen wondered if it could snow all year round in this place.

Lu Chen walked back with his heavy briefcase in his arms. Inside were the test papers for the monthly exam. He was going to score all of them tonight, thinking that he wouldn't have to sleep until three o'clock in the morning.

It was so cold that my hands hurt from the cold.Lu Chen went in and changed his clothes and shoes, and threw the things in his arms on the bed.I plan to wash it as fast as I usually do.

He adjusted the faucet to hot water, rubbed his hands and waited for the hot water to flow out, when he suddenly heard a faint voice behind him, "Don't wash your hands with hot water in cold weather."

Lu Chen froze, his whole back froze, and he didn't dare to turn his head.According to the past, Shen Yi would not come back until after eleven o'clock at the earliest.Probably because they all felt awkward meeting each other, so they staggered the time of each other by coincidence.But I don't know what happened today. Could it be that I read the wrong watch?

"... Oh", Lu Chen subconsciously turned off the tap.After closing it, I don't know what to do, and the two confront each other, which is indescribably embarrassing.

Lu Chen didn't dare to look back or raise his head, "Well, you wash it first, I'll go and read the paper first."

"One cold and one hot will frostbite your hands," the tone remained unchanged.

Lu Chen didn't understand what this meant for a while.

"Thank you...thank you".

Lu Chen subconsciously bowed slightly, as if it was a habitual action.No wonder, coming to an unfamiliar place and being surrounded by elites, I can only be as humble as possible.Of course, it may be assimilated by the good atmosphere of Penang University.

After Lu Chen finished speaking, he wiped his hands on his body, opened the door and left.

Shen Yi looked at his panicked back, not knowing what to do for a while.

With a "ding dong" sound from the phone, Shen Yi took out the phone, and there was a dinner appointment in the wechat group of the Drama Club.Shen Yi replied "Take me", and the following strings were in disbelief.They all wondered if the screenwriter of their drama club had taken the wrong medicine.

Five minutes later, Shen Yi went out and took a taxi to the agreed KTV.

The group was still teasing him, but he was in no mood to reply.

Shen Yi pushed open the revolving door of the KTV, and a burst of heat came over him.

"Hello, D302."

The waiter bent down and raised his right hand, "Follow me this way, please."

The waiter walked in front to lead the way, and Shen Yi straightened his clothes and followed the waiter.

Just as Shen Yi was about to reach out to push the door, a girl happened to come out.

"Hey, screenwriter Shen. It's rare that you will come to our party. Come on, we're waiting for you inside."

The girl patted him on the shoulder and walked towards the toilet, Shen Yi smiled at her, he felt that his smile must be ugly.

As soon as one comes to this kind of entertainment venue and the dim light is cast down, one seems to have removed the camouflage of the day, and the worn-out skin of fatigue and madness can no longer contain it.

Not many people came, only a few leading actors who participated in the school celebration program, because it was too cold.

Shen Yi sat on the sofa without saying a word, and first poured a can of beer.

A male staff member put his arms around his shoulders, "Why did screenwriter Shen come to our party today, don't you usually read books?"

A strong smell of alcohol came out of the boy's mouth, and Shen Yi suddenly wanted to get drunk for a while.

"Hey, I can't stay out of the crowd all the time. The work is finally done, and the rehearsal is almost ready, and I want to relax." After speaking, he drank another bottle.

A girl interjected, "Didn't senior Shen Yi write manuscripts all the time? I think you were always in the library before going back."

"Oh, Xiaomei, you care so much about screenwriter Shen," a boy with a big tongue teased.

The girl named Xiaomei blushed instantly.Before she could say anything, Shen Yi answered, "Can we not call the screenwriter? Can't we just call by name?" After speaking, he drank another can of beer.

"What, you're in a bad mood today? Come on, let the campus singer sing you a song!" It was the girl who just went to the bathroom, and she won No.1 in the campus singing competition. "What do you want to hear?"

"Well... just something sensational." Shen Yi replied vaguely.

With a big tongue and a big heart, he quietly leaned in front of Shen Yi, "You won't be broken in love, right?"

"Do you think it's possible, who would reject our school girl?" The drunk man bit his tongue and continued, "I said Shen Yi, it's a pity for you to be a screenwriter, you obviously have the face of a star. If you act in a drama, if someday some director takes a fancy to it, your career will skyrocket. How can it be like now, look, you stay up in the middle of the night every day to pay for the manuscript. What do you think you are drawing?"

Shen Yi let out a sigh of relief, "I'm not interested in actors, the entertainment industry is too chaotic, I just want to live my life in peace."

"It's mainly for money. The celebrity appearance fee is enough for you for a lifetime. When you become popular, you will promote us."

"Hahaha", the laughter was a bit bitter.

As soon as Shen Yi entered the door, he kept drinking non-stop, mixed several kinds of wine, and now the feeling of alcohol was a little bit up, he wanted to use this to drive some drunken madness.

"Okay, when I become popular, I will definitely not forget everyone here."

"Then, next time you come to be the male lead in the drama, our drama club's popularity will definitely skyrocket."

Shen Yi smiled and raised a glass of rum, "Okay, whoever gets hungover with me... I'll be the male lead." He didn't even know what he was talking about.

Xiaomei looked at him worriedly, "He must have drunk too much, he can't speak smoothly."

Big tongue: "Leave him alone, there is no class tomorrow morning, let him get drunk for a while. Men understand everything."

Xiaomei stared at Shen Yi for a long time, and then mustered up the courage to ask tentatively, "Does Senior Shen Yi have someone he likes?"

Shen Yi, who had been talking drunkenly, suddenly became quiet, and after about a minute, he said in a low voice, "No".

Seeing him like this, a fool should understand.

Big Tongue called the waiter from the server, "Another case of beer and a bottle of vodka."

"Come on, Shen Yi, let's have a hangover tonight." Big Tongue raised his glass, "The drama is finally ready, my brothers have worked hard during this time."

Big Tongue turned out to be the president. He looks average but knows how to behave.

Shen Yi clinked glasses with him, he didn't understand the etiquette on these wine tables, he just drank, and no one said anything.

The big tongue looked at the two buddies on the left and the right, okay, now the two drunks.

An alcoholic, a lovelorn syndrome.

30 minutes later--

"Shen Yi, let me tell you," the big tongue was dizzy, "A woman, she is nothing. There are many good women in the world, don't hang yourself on a tree. You said you were born with such a good-looking , ah! How many people envy you to death, women in this world are not just for you to choose."

"Good woman? Haha... drink well and don't talk."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiaomei, Xiaomei, you have liked Shen Yi for a year, right?"

Seeing that they were drunk, Xiaomei took advantage of the drunkenness and said nothing.It is the default.

"Xiaomei is such a good girl. You said that you were sick last time, and it was Xiaomei who was always by your side to take care of you."

Shen Yi leaned on the sofa, his eyes without glasses couldn't see clearly, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes unconsciously.

"And we are wearing flowers, that figure." Big tongue slobbered, "All the love poems I wrote for you have been published in the campus newspaper, what else do you want?"

"Let's talk about that..."

"I won't fall in love."

Shen Yi spoke suddenly.

"Never in this life."

"Why...! Hey, let me tell you, all people who have broken up in love say that, but no one can escape the law of true fragrance. Forget it in a few years."

"You're right, you'll forget about it in a few years."

Shen Yi lifted up a whole bottle of vodka and poured it down his stomach, with tears still in the corners of his eyes.

"Stop drinking!"

The singer called to him in a soprano voice.Shen Yi didn't hear it.

The singer snatched the wine bottle from his hand and grabbed his collar, "Is it necessary for you to torment yourself like this? I like that you have the ability to get it back!"

"no……"

The singer threw him on the sofa angrily.

"Tell me why it doesn't work."

Shen Yi looked into her eyes, "It will hurt him..."

Several slightly sober people looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.After all, outsiders can't do anything about feelings.
