carol

The two brothers of the Zhou family rented an old apartment with three bedrooms and one living room on the first floor in Yonghe. They shared the rent with Daxiong, the director of A Fei's film company and his entrepreneurial partner who is now making short films together.On the way, Ah Fei first went to buy a bunch of wine and crispy salted chicken. After entering the door, Xiao Lu happily arranged the food and drinks on the living room table.

"Yeah! Let's have a party!" Xiao Lu cheered!Rui Xin smiled and wanted to know what the name and theme of this party is?This group of people is really crazy.

Daxiong also came out of the room and warmly gave Ruixin a bear hug.Looking at him, who is super strong with a flat head, Rui Xin occasionally met him when he used to come to Xiaoding's house to hang out. "Rui Xin, you have a bit of a girl change! It feels different! Is it related to work?" Daxiong held Rui Xin's arm and looked at her carefully for a while. Although he didn't feel threatened at all, he was stared at Rui My heart is always embarrassed.

"It's not because of work!" Xiao Ding came out with some clean empty glasses, A Fei had already opened a beer and drank it, shaking his head to indicate that he didn't need glasses.

Seeing Nobita's puzzled expression, Xiao Dingyi looked like a father who finally married off his daughter, and pretended to say:

"Our Jiarui is careful about classmates...but we are in love." He poured two glasses of beer into the glass.Xiao Lu drank it directly from the can, and happily poked the fried chicken skin to eat.

"And it's with a super beautiful woman." A Fei added coldly.

Nobita exaggeratedly covered his gaping mouth with both hands, making everyone laugh. "Rui Xin, why don't you have a drink first!" Ah Fei ordered with a smile.

"Photos! I want to see photos! No pictures, no truth! Hurry up!" Daxiong stretched out his hands and shouted at Rui Xin and Xiao Ding.

Rui Xin felt both happy and embarrassed, seeing A Fei jokingly winking at her, telling her to drink, she could only pick up the cup and drink obediently.

"We don't have any photos together!" Huh!After filling half a cup, Rui Xin also took a piece of crispy salted chicken and said while eating.But when you think about it, Kai Luo is really a big beauty like a star. It's a pity not to show them off.So he turned around and rummaged through his bag and took out his phone.

"Ah! It's out of battery!" Rui Xin then remembered that the phone should have automatically shut down when it ran out of power!

"I want to hide! One more drink!" Ah Fei said again.Nobita didn't have a picture to look at, so he pouted in disappointment to pretend to be angry.Such a big boy made this kind of movement, and teased Xiao Lu, hahaha, and drank a few more beers.Xiao Ding took Rui Xin's cell phone, and after confirming that it was really out of battery and could not be turned on, he went into the room and took out his charger, and connected the cell phone to the socket in the living room for Rui Xin.

"It's really out of battery! It may need to be charged before it can be turned on." Xiao Ding helped explain.Rui Xin smiled and drank some more wine, thinking that she really hadn't introduced Kai Luo to these good friends, it seemed a bit inappropriate.

"You haven't told us how you met!" Xiao Lu just asked.Rui Xin briefly explained that when she was working in the high-end children's clothing store of Noble Department Store, Carol forgot her gloves on the counter after shopping, because she wanted to return her.Of course, Rui Xin ignored Kai Luo's invitation to drive around the island with her. Before arriving in Kenting, Kai Luo suddenly abandoned her and went back to Taipei to fight for her daughter's custody, avoiding the sad past of not being in touch.

Zhou Dingna knew all these things, he was the one who often accompanied Rui Xin who was in pain, and encouraged her to become a reporter of M TV station.Rui Xin looked at Xiao Ding, who was busy tidying up the messy table.

"Hey, hey, hey... don't drop while eating, okay! You're not a kid..." Xiao Ding really started to murmur.

"By the way, Kai Luo's daughter is..." Xiao Ding suddenly thought of asking, but suddenly felt that he shouldn't ask and swallowed the words back.

Rui Xin knew that Xiao Ding thought of the dispute over Kai Luo's divorce just like him, "Well... her name is Ling Ling, she is only five years old. After they divorced, it was Dad who got the custody." Rui Xin seemed to feel sad every time Kai Luo saw Ling Ling looking sad,

"Because her ex-husband sent the credit bureau to follow us to the south, proving that Carol...is with me...so..." Thinking of the day when the person who found the credit bureau came back, the terrible scene came back to me,

"Wait a minute! Are you saying that because Kai Luo is gay, the child belongs to the father?" Xiao Lu asked puzzled.

Rui Xin nodded.

"How is it possible! What does comrades have to do with who the children belong to? What era is this?" Xiao Lu seemed unable to accept this matter,

"It's true. Ah Xiong, do you remember? Isn't Senior Sister Xiaojuan the same?" Ah Fei said suddenly.Although Nobita was still hugging the pillow, his expression was very serious, he nodded after thinking about it,

"It seems that it's still the same now... It's so irritating! Oh my God!" Nobita threw the pillow on the ground vigorously, grabbed a can of beer and took a few sips.They discussed for a while. Carol is a full-time housewife, and under the premise that the children are taken care of by her, everyone can't believe it. Just because she is gay, she was judged to be detrimental to the development of the children and lost custody...It's so unfair up.Everyone's atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

"It's ready to turn on!" Xiao Lu, who was sitting closest to the socket, suddenly noticed that the screen of Rui Xin's phone was on. Daxiong rushed over immediately, and hurriedly beckoned Rui Xin to turn it on and look for photos.After working for a while, Ruixin finally found some Kailo photos she accidentally took while taking food photos in the restaurant, as well as a few selfies.She took a lot of photos during that round-the-island trip—after all, she was obsessed with Ke Kailuo like an idol at that time, but after Kailuo suddenly left her and refused to contact her, she was so angry that she deleted all the photos one day. That day, I really cried so badly, thinking of this, Ruixin smiled wryly.

Sure enough, everyone praised Kai Luo for being so beautiful. Nobita and Xiao Lu started to fight again, toasting to her again and again,

"Admiration! Admiration!" Daxiong said and drank another glass briskly, Ah Fei smiled and glared at Rui Xin and drank her glass again, and opened another can to help her fill the glass.Xiao Ding also took the opportunity to ask Rui Xin about the details of their cohabitation in the new apartment.Rui Xin deliberately understates and does not talk too much about the mansion, but she can't help but reveal the happiness and sweetness of her new life.

Everyone kept laughing and talking about her, forcing her to drink a lot of wine. "It's not that I want to say, Rui Xin, I didn't expect you to be a person who values ​​sex and despises friends!" After drinking a few cups, Xiao Ding also began to express his thoughts,

"Didn't we and Richard play together before? Now, let me see... I haven't seen you for almost four months!" Xiao Ding shook his head exaggeratedly and complained to Rui Xin.

"No! I'm really busy at work. I didn't know that the job of a reporter is so abnormal..." Rui Xin tried to defend herself, and then everyone's topic finally turned to her new job.Rui Xin felt that it was very easy to chat with this group of friends, mainly because they were all in the cultural circle. Talking about these things always resonated, and everyone easily shared their views and opinions.

"By the way! I saw a feature you made on TV a while ago, and that photo looked so much like yours. I was shocked! What's the name of that documentary director?" Ah Fei suddenly mentioned it, squinting his eyes and trying to remember…

"It's Director Ge Hanwen." Rui Xin replied.

Others didn’t see this topic, so Rui Xin reported the adventure to everyone. Director Ge’s motivation to start making a documentary was to commemorate a deceased female classmate. She happened to be very similar to herself. During the interview, The other party seemed to see a ghost... It was indeed an unforgettable interview.

Nobita told Ah Fei that he knew Director Ge, but he was not in the same circle, and probably met a few acquaintances, "The temperament feels very noble... the good one." Nobita smiled shyly while talking.

"But I remember Rui Xin, don't you want to be a screenwriter?" Nobita took a sip of beer, and then tried hard to chew on a hard-looking flower branch.

"I'm still practicing writing, let's take a look...Maybe there will be a chance someday." Rui Xin replied sincerely, while nodding her head, as if to give herself confidence.Xiao Ding, who was sitting next to her, also patted her on the shoulder at this time, wanting to express her support.Xiao Ding turned around and saw that Xiao Lu seemed to be dozing off, only to realize that the time was past 12 o'clock,

"Rui Xin! Did you tell Kai Luo that you would go back later?" Xiao Ding quickly reminded.

"Ah!" Rui Xin really forgot about this, hurriedly stood up and picked up the phone, walked a few steps into the house, looked at the phone, no, Kai Luo made three phone calls, it turned out that Rui Xin left a message on the river bank to turn off the phone Forgot to tune back after mute, so they didn't notice, she quickly dialed Carol's number,

"Carol!"

"Where are you?" Carol's voice sounded a little anxious.

"I'm at Xiaoding's house, I'm sorry I turned off the mute and didn't receive your call." Rui Xin said anxiously.

The author has something to say:

Are you curious about Carol or Ke Kailuo's past?
