Gu Enzhong is not against this kind of reception, but sometimes he feels exhausted.But my friend Han Dong also knows how to lead the topic in a timely manner, so the atmosphere has been well controlled.

There were several young people who had just graduated from the director department who came to this small reception and were looking for investment to make a low-budget art film. One of them was an intern in the same company as Han Dong.After hearing their thoughts, Gu Enzhong found it very interesting, so he left a contact information of the assistant girl.

In fact, Gu Enzhong has also invested in many such low-cost, niche art films, and even experimental films in the past few years. One has won awards at foreign film festivals.It's just that there is no way to release it on a large scale in China, and few people know about it.

Just as he was talking, Han Tong suddenly patted him on the shoulder, motioning him to look up the stage.Several young people around also stopped talking at the right time, and slowly followed the two to move to the front of the crowd.

Gu Bao thanked the guitarist, sat on the stool and plucked the guitar strings twice, then took the microphone, cleared his throat, and said, "I want to sing a song by borrowing this place and this guitar tonight." This song is for my elder brother - Gu Enzhong."

The crowd cast kind eyes on Gu En, and even Han Tong patted him on the shoulder, praising him, "Okay! Your brother is quite courageous, and the people here are not laymen."

Gu Enzhong just smiled lightly, noncommittal.His gaze swept to the other side of the stage, just in time to meet Jian Mingcheng's gaze.Jian Mingcheng raised his eyebrows at him, as if asking him - how is it, your brother?Obviously very satisfied with taking care of this kid's boldness.

"The name of this song is - "Brother." The young voice didn't look immature.Gu Enzhong admitted that this was a surprise for him.It was only when the melodious prelude played that he realized that he never knew that Gu Zhao could play the guitar, nor did he know that he could sing this song.

Brother, I have been asking you since I was a child

why you are brother i am brother

Gu Jia is 20 years younger than Gu Enzhong, such an age difference does not seem like an ordinary brother.Jian Mingcheng is trying his best to understand this brotherhood - if Jian Mingche is 20 years younger than himself, like a... Kindergarten child?

brother you are always so strict

why love me never give up

I saw you in the wind and rain

why don't you cry

But it wasn't until the child grew to an astonishing 12 years old that Gu Enzhong knew what he looked like for the first time.He once said that he did not have the self-consciousness of being an elder brother, and he always felt an indelible guilt towards Gu Zhao.

brother i want to stand with you

I know you don't have much strength

Just as Jian Mingche was always just a child in his heart, the same is probably true for Gu Enzhong.But now this child is trying to give them some comfort with his weak power.

Even Jian Mingcheng could tell that Gu Zhao didn't sing very well, nor did he play amazingly well, but what was rare was the incomparable sincerity. Halfway through hearing it, even he, who is also an older brother, couldn't help but be surprised. I almost burst into tears.

On the other hand, Gu Enzhong didn't seem to have any special emotions on the surface, but he knew that Gu Enzhong must have been touched in his heart, but he didn't want to express it directly.

You say you are a brother and I am a brother

You have to shelter me from the wind and rain

No matter how difficult the road is, we must be together

Focus on finding the foundation of life

i have you in my heart

I also shelter you from the wind and rain

I can never tell what I want to say

brotherhood

brother's heart

When the last note fell, the audience couldn't help applauding. The audience seemed to be expecting Gu Enzhong to give a speech on stage, but he just slightly raised his glass to Gu Xiang on the stage, and then took a sip. After finishing the remaining half glass of wine, he whispered to Han Tong and walked calmly towards the door of the bar.

Gu Zhao stood up, still a little confused.Jian Mingcheng made a gesture to ask him to wait first, and he walked through the crowd and chased after Gu Enzhong's back.

It is late at night in Harbin, and it is also the first day of the Chinese New Year in [-], and the night sky of the city is full of fine snow.

Gu Enzhong didn't go far, he just leaned against the street lamp outside the bar to smoke, the shadow on the snow under the dim light instantly aroused a vague memory in Jian Mingcheng's mind.

He stood quietly on the spot, with the snow, the dim street lights, and the silhouette of a smoker—it suddenly occurred to him that this seemed to be a certain scene in "Warm Winter"—but after a long time, when Jian Mingcheng looked back at the movie again , I found that neither the leading actor Lu Mingchun nor the second leading man played by Gu Enzhong had ever smoked under a street lamp.So why did I have this illusion at that time?He later thought that it was probably because of that time and scene, there was a certain soul connection with the movie.

He gradually approached Gu Enzhong, and finally stood still in front of him, looking down at the almost lengthless shadows of the two people cast by the street lamp above his head, the skin on his face felt the cold wind of the winter night in Harbin.

He printed a pair of footprints on the snow, then took a step back, let the light shine on the footprints, and after seeing what it looked like, he walked back again, letting his feet fall into the original footprints again.Afterwards, he slightly raised his head to look at Gu Enzhong, almost just made a mouth shape, and said softly: "It's not shameful at all, really."

Gu Enzhong threw away the cigarette butt, slowly cupped his face with both hands, and rubbed his forehead gently against his forehead. The warmth between their breaths surpassed all words in the world.

At the entrance of the bar not far away, Han Tong put his arms around Gu Zhao's shoulders, looked away from the two people who were lingering together not far away, and asked earnestly, "Brother, do you have a girlfriend?" Gu Zhao shook his head.He asked again, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

This retrospective photo turned his head to give him a resentful look, and said, "No."

Han Tong then smiled and said, "Do you want Brother Han to connect you? Those little girls in our company asked me to call you just now. You stole your brother's limelight today."

"Farewell." He exhaled, feeling that his face was already frozen after standing for such a short while, and said, "We will wait until I am admitted to the business school."

Hearing what he said, Han Tong patted him on the shoulder clearly as a sign of encouragement, and didn't mention it again.

The next morning, when Gu Bao saw Gu Enzhong coming out of Jian Mingcheng's room, he didn't show any surprise at all.

Han Dong, who has been working hard in Harbin since graduation, can be regarded as half a local. He sincerely suggested that if they want to go to the World of Ice and Snow, it is best to go there around two or three in the afternoon and play everything they can. Over and over again, wait until four or five o'clock when the lights are on, and then slowly enjoy the ice sculptures, or watch a few performances.

Han Dong once suggested that if they wanted a reliable guide, he could find a good one, but Gu Enzhong declined.In contrast, he prefers the free feeling of the three of them, going wherever he wants, even if sometimes he can't help getting lost in this ice city like a headless chicken.

At noon, Gu En re-drives the car left by Han Tong, first takes the two of them for a stroll around Central Street, and arrives at the Ice and Snow World around 02:30.As soon as the car stopped, Gu Zhao jumped out first, and ran wildly in the snow with his arms open like a big bird—the only regret was that the clothes he was wearing were too heavy and he couldn't use his hands and feet.

Everything is silver and white, living in a world of ice and jade, people and things seem to have merged with the sky and the earth, and all the enthusiasm and life flow in this ice and snow.

Gu Enzhong and Jian Mingcheng followed him with a smile, the snow under their feet creaked, and their breaths were white.

The two handed over the decision-making power to Gu Zhao, he could play whatever he wanted, watch whatever he wanted, but Gu Zhao didn't accept this, saying that he didn't need the two of them to accommodate him, and he didn't want to be the only one. With a two-kilowatt light bulb, he shouted alone and rushed into this vast world of ice and snow, embarking on his "lonely hero's journey".

When Gu Zhao's figure gradually faded away, Gu Enzhong turned his head and said to Jian Mingcheng, "Let's go." In fact, as long as there are two people around, even just walking can be fun.

Jian Mingcheng nodded and said, "Okay."

In the snow, there are many parents who bring their children to play, there are boys and girls who laugh and make a mess, and there are also young couples who are intimately holding each other's arms.The laughter and laughter everywhere made people's hearts seem to become pure at this moment.

"Xiao Zhao was very mysterious last night, what did I ask you for?" The two of them were just walking, and while walking, Gu Enzhong asked casually.This is what happened after returning to the hotel.

Jian Mingcheng panted slightly - he found that Gu Enzhong was really strong, and he didn't look tired from walking at all. "He just wanted to know how you reacted to that song in a pub, and I told you the truth."

He expected Gu Enzhong to say more about it, even if it was just one sentence, but he didn't speak again in the end.I don't know why, when it comes to family affection, Gu Enzhong's expression is always too reserved.

A child came over on a snowmobile and almost ran into the two of them. The child's parents ran over to apologize. Jian Mingcheng waved his hands repeatedly and said it was okay.Before leaving, the young mother kept looking towards the two of them, her eyes turned back and forth on Gu Enzhong and him, her face was full of excitement and surprise, and she was happily talking to the people walking with her.

Seeing this scene, Jian Mingcheng did not forget to tease: "I thought that those who liked you were the so-called 'crazy and innocent girls'."

Gu En laughed lightly and shook his head, as if he had nothing to do with him.

Jian Mingcheng was happy for his little victory, but suddenly he grabbed his arm.Gu Enzhong said: "Go, accompany me to pick out a scarf."
