Improv [Rebirth]

The phone went unanswered and went to voicemail again.

"Chen Yan, answer the phone? I'm worried about you." Qi Andong was as gentle as if coaxing a child.

Chen Yan on the other end of the phone was sitting at the desk counting the pills spread out on the table.

"One, five, eight...how much?" He shook his head helplessly, "My brain is getting worse and worse."

The phone rang for a long time, but he pretended he didn't hear it. He got up and took out another bottle of medicine from the cabinet, unscrewed the lid and dumped it all on the table, and counted again.

"I'll definitely help you with your matter. I've already said hello to Di Hui. It's all right, cheer up, okay?"

Qi Andong's voice came from the phone, he only glanced at it, and reached out to bring the distant water glass closer.

"Drip——" the next message was his father, "Xiao Yan? You don't have to blame yourself too much for your mother's affairs. Life has its destiny, and those who have to go will always go..."

The voicemail automatically played down, playing all the voices of the past few months.Chen Yan hummed the song to himself, and after humming for a while, he also felt that it was unbearable, so he sighed and shut his mouth.

"Drip——Chen Yan, when will you pay back the hundreds of thousands you borrowed from us? We've given you enough time, and next Friday is the deadline. Don't blame us for being rude if you can't come up with the money... "

This is a loan shark.

"It's me, Qi Andong. Chen Yan, I haven't contacted you for a long time. Would you like to come out for a meal? If you... If there is anything I can do to help, just say it."

This is Qi Andong.

"Brother, it's me. I'm sorry I just saw your news now. Are you short of money recently? Is [-] enough? Give me your card number and I'll call you tomorrow."

This is Han Tianzong, his younger brother when he was studying screenwriting.

Chen Yan raised the corner of his mouth.Tian Zong... He murmured the name in his heart, recalling the many memories of his youth, and smiled even more heartily.

"Dip——Xiao Yan, it's Dad. I... well, you're out of town by yourself, and we can't help you much, but now I'm still reaching out to you. It's just...Xiao Yan, do you have any money left on hand now?" ? Your mother is still short of money, she needs surgery, about [-]... [-] to [-], [-] to [-] is enough, your Uncle Li said that the piece of jade at home has found a buyer..."

Chen Yan's smiling face froze, he sat blankly for a moment, and suddenly cried while covering his face.

At first it was sobbing, and then it turned into wailing, heart-piercing screams, as if to spit out all the blood in the chest cavity.

"Chen Yan! What are you doing!" There was a knock on the door, and the roommate told him not to, so he simply kicked the door, "Chen Yan! If you do this again, I will complain! People have face... Hurry up and get out! Before you get out, you should settle last month's rent!"

Chen Yan continued to cry without hesitation, crying violently, grabbed a handful of sleeping pills and stuffed them into his mouth, and when he couldn't stuff them down, he poured water desperately, filling himself like a fountain, bubbling out.

The roommate yelled no answer outside the door, and left cursing.

It's fucking unlucky, he couldn't stop crying, wiping his tears with a tissue, and he couldn't die in a decent way.

His consciousness slowly dissipated, and his drowsiness was getting stronger - it seemed that he could sleep well tonight, which he hadn't slept in for a long time.

When Chen Yan woke up, the first picture he saw was the trace of water seepage on the wall. The water stain was stretched out, and it contrasted with the spider web on the edge of the ceiling lamp.

Unexpectedly, he didn't die, and he lived a very good life.

He hummed twice, tears flowed down again, and lay motionless on the bed for a long time.

After dawn, people will always feel like a fool last night, especially a fighter who commits suicide and is a fighter among fools.

Chen Yan now thinks of last night like a joke.

Why should he settle it once and leave all the mess to others?Why should his father, who lost his career and his wife one after another, lose his son?

Smiling with the corners of his mouth pulled, Chen Yan decided to bury what happened last night in his heart and not say anything to anyone.He shook his head and jumped off the bed——

Wait, bed?how am i in bed

While scratching his head in doubt, he picked up the buzzing and vibrating cell phone.

Flip phone?What the hell is this... He poked the ball of equipment in his palm, it seemed... similar to the one he used several years ago?

Could it be that he didn't die, but his brain was eaten up?It's a shame.

There are more than a dozen messages piled up in the text box, and the contacts are all "Sister Man".

He Manman, he showed a nostalgic look.Sister Man introduced most of the jobs when I first left school, but then they lost contact for some reason, and they haven't even spoken to each other in the past two years.

After many years, Chen Yan never met anyone who treated him well without asking for anything in return like He Manman.What kind of nerve did he get to alienate Sister Man?

He opened the mailbox, and He Manman's style of bombarding with dozens of text messages has not changed at all.

"Go to Q/Q!"

How to use Q/Q again?Isn't it all WeChat contact now?

"quick!"

"waiting for you!"

"Don't see me if you don't come in 5 minutes!"

He quickly dropped the phone and turned on the computer.The old boot interface in front of him was strange and familiar, but it made Chen Yan feel even more strange, it was like going back in time several years ago.

The year 2010 is displayed next to the bouncing Q/Q logo. It is estimated that the computer is broken and convulsed, and it has been restored to the factory date.He ignored this weird date and clicked directly into Sister Man's dialogue box.

"Yanzi, I have a job here, do you want to take it?"

"It's not a good opportunity, a sci-fi movie, the kind that cheats money"

"Didn't you say you were short of money a few days ago?"

"Send the information to you first, and you can decide for yourself."

Chen Yan clicked on the file, and the name of the compressed package was "Summer League".

"Sister Man, isn't it, is this film going to be made again? Didn't you pay enough last time?" He typed dumbfounded, "For the remake, we still have to find the original screenwriter, there is no such thing."

"???"

"Chen Yan, are you out of your mind? When was this film made? In your dream?"

"Although it does look like a street product, you can't curse people like that! After all, it's a meal, what do you want, a brat with no qualifications?"

Chen Yan blinked his eyes, inexplicably.

Isn't this the job He Manman introduced to him a few years ago?Why is she like amnesia, she has just graduated, I am an old fritter and have just graduated...

He opened the browser and searched for "Summer League". Before he could finish typing, he caught a glimpse of the date on the upper right corner of the home page——

Chen Yan was trembling all over, and suddenly thought of a possibility, but this idea was too out of touch with his scientific knowledge, and he couldn't believe it.

"Sister Man... How old is it now?"

"Wow, you are really retarded!"

"No, how many years is it?"

The opposite party cut off a date and sent it over. The big "2010" on it made his eyelids twitch.

He continued to search for "Summer League", but all the results came up were irrelevant. Baidu Encyclopedia——

"Sorry, no encyclopedia results related to 'Summer League' were found."

His hands trembled, and he rushed out of the room tremblingly, ran to the next door and knocked on the door.

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Opening the door, a topless man in beach shorts came out, with a look of "I'm impatient but I still have to pretend to be polite".

Chen Yan didn't care about him, and asked, "Fang Qing, didn't you say a few days ago that you were going to change houses? How did you find the house?"

The other party looked at him like he was crazy: "Chen Yan? Is it called Chen Yan? I have only moved in for half a month. What house should I change?"

"..."

Chen Yan swept back to his room like a whirlwind, leaving Fang Qing standing there angrily, cursing "crazy".

When he returned to the computer, there were many messages on the screen, asking him where he went halfway through the chat, and asking him whether he would accept the job.

He didn't answer, just stared at the date for a while, and slowly moved his palm to his face, covering his whole face.

Tears flowed silently from between his fingers and down his arm.

He was crying hard when his phone started vibrating again.

"Can we have dinner together tonight? Qi Andong"

Why did Qi Andong find him?Chen Yan thought for a long time, and finally remembered.

On this day in 2010, Qi Andong asked him for dinner, and he happily agreed.Eating with a big star is still a star I like, and there is no reason to disagree with it in public or private.

As a result, during this dinner, Qi Andong mentioned something, which made their good relationship take a turn for the worse - he said that he wanted to take care of Chen Yan, and he put it mildly.

Tsk, Chen Yan stared at the phone and shook his head.

He went to the mirror and looked at himself.The person in the mirror is at a young age, full of vitality, and feels that if the future is not bright, at least it is safe and secure, but he does not know that his beautiful life will turn into an endless hell in the near future.

You are so naive - he said silently to the man in the mirror.At this moment, he made a completely different decision from his previous life.

He picked up his phone and replied to Qi Anton: "Okay, where is it?" At the end he added a smiling face.
