Spare tire [entertainment circle]

After attending Xia Jingyang's engagement ceremony, Lu Shen received Yuan Lin's friend request the next day.

After the agreement was passed, the two quickly exchanged greetings on WeChat.

During the chat, Lu Shen learned that Yuan Lin was slightly younger than them, he was Xia Jingyang's distant cousin, and he just graduated with a Ph.D. last year.

No matter in terms of academic qualifications or family background, Lu Shen is actually far behind Yuan Lin.

But falling in love is not about picking cabbages in the vegetable market, what is important is getting along well. Although Lu Chen and Yuan Lin haven't developed to the point of falling in love at first sight, after chatting a few times, they have a good impression of each other.

Yuan Lin just came out of school, compared to Lu Chen's calmness, he still had a childish look on his body.

The work of the two of them is not idle, and the first time they met was half a month after they met each other.

To show his importance, Lu Shen specially changed into new clothes, and arrived at the place 15 minutes earlier. Unexpectedly, Yuan Lin arrived earlier than him.

The boy or man in front of him is fully a head taller than Lu Shen.

Lu Chen's facial features looked a little ordinary to Lu Chen, who was used to watching supermodels from all walks of life in the entertainment industry, but he could tell that he had good taste, and he kept himself very clean and tidy, which immediately gave him a lot of points at first glance.

Before Lu Chen could speak, he grinned, showing his small canine teeth, and then took the lead in introducing himself:

"Hello, I'm Yuan Lin."

"Lu Chen—" Lu Chen held his hand and smiled, "I didn't expect you to come so early."

"It was my first blind date, and I was a little nervous." Yuan Lin scratched his hair in embarrassment, and added, "I originally planned to sit here and get familiar with the lines first."

"So you even have the script ready?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows.

"I just said it casually, there is no such thing as a script, I swear!" Yuan Lin hurriedly dismissed himself.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just kidding you." Lu Chen couldn't help laughing.

"Ah, so..." Yuan Lin seemed to feel that he had made a fool of himself, his face turned slightly red, and he looked very young.

Lu Chen didn't dare to go too far, so he turned his eyes to the menu and said, "What do you want to eat?"

"I'm not picky." After thinking for a while, Yuan Lin handed the menu to Lu Chen, "You order two first, and then I'll come."

"Alright." Lu Shen said.

Without delay, the two quickly ordered their meals.

Lu Chen has been to this western restaurant once or twice, and he is quite at ease with the chef's craftsmanship. After ordering, the two of them continued to chat one after another.

It can be seen that Yuan Lin's personality should belong to the lively and cheerful one.

Except for being a little cautious at the beginning, the two of them chatted very openly, and they even talked endlessly.

Lu Chen was mainly in charge of listening, occasionally interjecting a few sentences, and it was going well all the time.

In the end, when the two finished their meal and bid farewell to each other, Lu Chen, who was sitting in the driver's seat of the car, received a WeChat message from Yuan Lin, which read:

You are so different from what I imagined.

Lu Chen chuckled lightly, didn't start the car in a hurry, and replied: What kind of difference?

After sending this message, the other party's status instantly changed to typing, and Lu Chen waited for a while before receiving a long message:

It’s just that I asked my brother about it. We usually chat with each other, and I think you should belong to that kind of dull and not very joking personality, but after meeting this time, I realized that you are also very lively, special to me. The feeling of congeniality.

Lu Chen looked at the phone, momentarily in a daze.

When a man tells another man that he has hit it off, he knows all too well what it means.

What's more, this meeting was originally equivalent to a blind date, and this meeting was only for the purpose of talking about someone.

It stands to reason that he should take advantage of the situation and say that he feels good about him.

But in this way, the relationship between the two may develop at the speed of light, and may even develop into a situation that Lu Shen himself did not expect.

Lu Chen wasn't unwilling, but all this required a process, and he didn't want to deceive the other party's feelings.

So he thought about it, and finally went back to the past lightly.

Yuan Lin's later messages followed one after another, and Lu Shen chatted with him on WeChat for half an hour in the car.

In the end, it was Lu Chen who answered the assistant's call and asked him to read the documents, so he had a reason to stop.

Lu Shen drove home and turned on the computer to work.

Not long after work, Xia Jingyang called, and immediately asked, "What do you think of that child, I have news from my side."

"It's pretty good." Lu Chen thought about it, "But I don't want to develop so fast."

"That means you can accept it?" Xia Jingyang said smartly.

"En." Lu Chen hummed lightly, Yuan Lin's face appeared in his mind involuntarily.

I just met in the afternoon, so it stands to reason that the facial features should be very clear.

But for some reason, that face was very vague, and even in the end, Lu Chen doubted that even if Yuan Lin stood in front of him again, it would be a problem for him to deny it.

Obviously he has a good impression of Yuan Lin, and he really wants to continue to develop with him.

Xia Jingyang's earnest advice came from the other end of the phone: "Yuan Lin is a good kid. I know the bottom line. He has been in love a few times, but he is not the kind of person who messes around. It would be great if you two can be together, but This is not forcing you, don’t blame me if you fail.”

Lu Chen's mind is actually in a mess right now, so he didn't listen to half of Xia Jingyang's words.

However, I heard the last sentence clearly, and he replied: "Don't worry, we can be friends."

Only then did Xia Jingyang smile heartily: "Then I can rest assured."

Lu Chen chatted with him casually, and probably heard from Xia Jingyang that Yuan Lin had a good first impression of him.

In fact, Lu Chen also understood that a person's attitude towards a person can be seen from his words and deeds. If Yuan Lin had a bad impression of him, it would be impossible for him to send a wechat to chat just now.

Lu Chen himself admitted that staying with Yuan Lin was very comfortable.

You don't have to think too much about complicated things, and you don't have suspicions and doubts. It's like you're back in college...

But Lu Chen also knew that he was indeed a little less tempted towards Yuan Lin.

Lu Chen naturally didn't tell Yuan Lin about this.

However, since that meeting, the frequency of chatting between the two has greatly increased.

Yuan Lin himself is a doctor, and he often works overtime for surgery, and Lu Chen's rest is also very irregular, and there are very few opportunities to have dinner and watch movies together.

If you can't meet, chat on WeChat.

In this way, half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the two finally had a second chance to meet.

When receiving the news, Lu Chen was participating in a fashion event with Yan Ke, and because of his busy work recently, Yan Ke's complexion was very bad.

Lu Chen agreed to Yuan Lin's invitation, and Yan Ke said, "Ah Chen, stay with me tomorrow."

Yan Ke's expression looked sincere and pitiful. Lu Shen would have agreed if it was usual, but he promised Yuan Lin first, and since both of them were on vacation the next day, Yan Ke had nothing serious to do. So he said, "I've already made an appointment with my friend."

"Which friend?" Yan Ke asked casually.

"You don't know him." Lu Chen answered lightly, "Anyway, not tomorrow."

Yan Ke was not reconciled and said: "There is also a time for the appointment, you can't be with your friends from morning till night, can you?"

"It must be evening." Lu Chen frowned, thinking that this time was not just for dinner, Yuan Lin also said that he wanted to go to the movies, so it would take an afternoon.

But Yan Ke said: "Night is night. You come to see me at night. Last time you agreed to treat me to something delicious. Don't tell me you forgot."

Lu Chen remembered what he said in the hotel before, and it was indeed what he had promised.

The stomach problem has already healed by now, just pay attention to it a little bit.

But I don't know if Yuan Lin has any plans for the night, and he can't promise too much, so he can only say: "Let's see the situation."

Yan Ke suddenly lost energy, and said in disgust, "Forget it, you go, I'll find someone else."

Lu Chen nodded, and then said nothing.

Later, Yan Ke wanted to ask who Lu Chen was going out with and where he was going, but Lu Chen prevaricated them.

He knew very well that according to Yan Ke's personality, if he found out, he would definitely make excuses to show up just like the last time he went home.

Other occasions are fine, but with Yuan Lin...

Lu Chen sighed slightly.

Soon came the second day.

Lu Chen drove to the place that he had made an appointment with Yuan Lin, and found that Yuan Lin had arrived ahead of schedule.

The man in front of him was very energetic, even more handsome than the first time he met. Lu Chen found that although he felt that he had forgotten Yuan Lin's face, when Yuan Lin really stood beside him, he looked very familiar. .

Yuan Lin is very enthusiastic, several times more enthusiastic than on WeChat.

Lu Chen was not used to it, because it felt like Yuan Lin had already regarded him as the object of his pursuit.

There is a word called 'care for you', Lu Chen didn't want to use it, he thought it was strange, but Yuan Lin's every move just made Lu Chen feel that way.

From eating, to watching movies even more so.

The movie was chosen by Yuan Lin, Lu Shen paid attention to the subject matter, and didn't realize it was a romance movie until the movie started.

Not long after the film started, the male and female protagonists became intimate in various ways. Although there were no special ratings, the director's shots were so beautiful that several couples in the theater couldn't help but kiss each other.

Although Lu Chen looked calm, his heart was actually a little broken.

He didn't understand why Yuan Lin took him to watch a romance movie, until the movie reached the finale, he noticed a hand approaching faintly...

It is difficult to express Lu Shen's mood at this moment in words.

tense, complicated——

Both, but not enough.

In just a few seconds, Lu Chen had a battle between heaven and man in his mind, and he heard Yuan Lin asking him in a gentle voice: "Is it okay?"

At this point, it's meaningless to continue perfunctory.

In just a short moment, Lu Chen thought about many things.

About Yuan Lin, about the future, about... Yan Ke.

Finally, he gently moved his hand away: "Sorry, I'm not ready yet."

In the dim environment, Lu Chen couldn't see Yuan Lin's expression clearly, so he must have felt a little disappointed.

After a while, Yuan Lin spoke again, his voice was much lower than before: "No, it's not your fault, I was a little impatient."

"It's my fault." Lu Chen stared at the dark ceiling, and said blankly, "It's because I haven't gotten out of the previous relationship. It's unfair to you if I promise you."
