The Guide to the Tear-offs in the Online Supporting Circle Part 2: Peak Acting Skills

The poor are struggling in the world, and the body cannot sink with the spirit, so Xie Zhengyan pretended to be calm and went back to the old house in a very depressed situation to help the second uncle take care of grandma, wash her wet underwear, trim her hands and feet, and massage joint acupuncture points .Considering that Liao Shuying would be sent to sleep in the shack after returning home, the uncle and nephew got some planks and felts to make the shack thicker.Xie Tiande said that when the farmer's market opens on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, he will buy a few straw mats and lay them out. They should be able to survive this winter. By the end of the year, his application for low-rent housing will probably be approved, and grandma will have a place to live by then.

After finishing all this work, it was dusk again, Xie Zhengyan was thinking about Fuzi, had dinner with his second uncle, and hurried back to the rental house.After taking Fuzi for a walk, he received a message from Qianfan - a cute little tabby cat.

This person had evaporated more than ten days ago. Xie Zhengyan sent him New Year greetings on New Year's Eve, and he didn't respond until now. The reflex arc was not only long but also strange.

Answer a "?", and the other side quickly explained: "Like you."

Xie Zhengyan cursed with a low smile: "Crazy", typed: "You have never seen me, how do you know if I look like you?"

Unexpectedly, Qian Fan claimed to have seen his photo.

Xie Zhengyan became anxious immediately, and directly started the phone chat, asking him how he saw it. He had only exchanged photos with a few close friends in the circle, who would leak them?

"I'm looking at a group photo, which you took when you participated in a group face-to-face."

Qian Fan said that he just remembered that he had attended a Shanghai friends gathering when he first entered the circle, but most of the participants at that time were fringe people in the circle, and he has retired and retired in the past two years, only he still persevered , Qian Fan can even get such a rare photo, he is definitely qualified to apply for Zhuo Wei's assistant.

"Juju, you really aspire to become the captain of the CCP's secret service team, no matter what, I want to see your photo, otherwise it's not fair!"

"I'm too ugly to scare you."

This was the first time they talked about each other's appearance. Xie Zhengyan had always been seldom confident about his own face, so he didn't have the confidence to ask netizens about their looks. Qian Fan didn't take the initiative to mention it, so he wouldn't think of talking about it.But once we talked, curiosity quickly fermented, and he carefully tried: "If it's not that the facial features are the same, or the skinny face is not ugly, show me."

"No, I'll feel guilty if you throw up or have nightmares at night."

"Cut, cheapskate."

Xie Zhengyan complained, and Qian Fan immediately changed the subject after laughing, asking him how his year was going, and when he heard that he was alone at home taking care of the elderly, he asked his parents where they were.

Xie Zhengyan didn't want to make himself ugly, so he prevaricated: "My mother went out to see relatives, and my father... my father did too."

"Why don't you take your grandma with you?"

"...my grandma is sick and can't go out."

"What disease? Is it serious?"

"Alzheimer's disease."

"Oh, this disease is really exhausting, so you can take care of it by yourself?"

"And my second uncle, it's okay, I can handle it."

In order to prevent Qian Fan from asking, he quickly seized the initiative and asked him to talk about his experiences during the Chinese New Year.

Qian Fan showed a bit of burnout on the spot, saying that he had been in a mess this year, spending all day with his parents, seeing guests and friends, and those gatherings were completely boring, and a bunch of hypocritical people chatting with each other about boring utilitarian topics, he was terribly bored I also have to pretend to be polite and courteous. I feel like I'm putting on a show every day when I open my eyes, and I wish I could end the whole vacation when I close my eyes at night.

Xie Zhengyan sounded very strange. He had the impression that Qian Fan's family should be poor peasants living in deep mountains and old forests. Ordinarily, this type of people is the most simple and ignorant in society. Chatting is nothing more than daily necessities. rise?

He thought that Qian Fan was boasting, so he teased: "Your family has so many social activities, relatives and friends all live in nearby villages? People say that you live in a poor city and no one asks you, but your family lives in the mountains and you have so many contacts, your popularity is really good. .”

Qian Fan laughed a few times, rubbed his nose and said, "Yes, my parents' generation had many brothers and sisters. There were more than a dozen children in the family, and naturally there were many relatives. Because I was poor, there was nothing to eat at home during the Chinese New Year, so I took me around. Eating and drinking, I have eaten Baijiafan these days."

"Hehe, you are really a white-eyed wolf after eating other people's food and still loathe them in your heart."

"That's right, I also decided that starting tomorrow, I will not only go to Cengfan, but also pack and take home the delicious food and drink, and then I won't have to spend money on food for the next month."

"Hahaha, you are too bad."

Xie Zhengyan laughed heartily under his spoof, but sighed again after a while, Qian Fan accurately captured his unhappiness, and asked him if he encountered any setbacks.

Xie Zhengyan was in need of someone to talk about his thoughts, and Qian Fan was suitable in every aspect, so he described in detail his embarrassing experience when he visited Yu Shengyan, and asked him if he had encountered similar embarrassment.

Qian Fan confessed his embarrassment very frankly: "There are too many. I often wear patched clothes. I don't have a good pair of socks. Basically, I can see my toes when I put them on."

"Is it so miserable? Alas, poor people like us are really sorry for the country, and will only hinder the Chinese dream."

Xie Zhengyan smiled wryly at himself, and said with low ambition: "Through this incident, I realized more deeply that people of the same class can truly become friends, and that different economic backgrounds and concepts and habits will also violate harmony, which will only cause trouble for each other. I will talk about it later. I don’t dare to deal with rich people anymore, lest I make it difficult for myself.”

Qian Fan smiled and said: "This view is a bit extreme. Although people get what they need in their interactions, money is by no means the only factor. Don't make wild guesses, maybe your idol is also because of embarrassment, sorry to see you again You chose to break up."

"It's me who is ashamed, why should he be embarrassed?"

"Didn't you say that he was drunk and yelling uncharacteristically? He may feel that his image in your mind has been shattered. Instead of being ridiculed secretly by you, it is better to take the initiative."

"But I won't laugh at him."

"You know what you think, but he doesn't know it, just like you don't understand his true intentions. This is how the barriers between people are created. I don't think you need to continue to struggle with this matter, since you have been happy Getting along is considered a good fate. There is a good saying: When you know each other, you will be kind and righteous when you are together. Totally pointless."

This was the first time Xie Zhengyan drank the chicken soup cooked by Qian Fan. He was more surprised than educated, and couldn't help joking: "I suspect the sun will come out from the west tomorrow morning."

"what happened?"

"Because the dog spit out ivory."

"Hehe, you are too heartless. I am serious about enlightening you, but you are mocking me."

"I learned from you, hahaha."

They joked with each other for a few rounds, Xie Zhengyan's gloomy feelings seemed to be sucked away by a vacuum cleaner, and he cheered up to start a new year with Qian Fan. When the chat was happy, Qian Fan asked him naturally: "What's the matter recently?" I heard you mentioned that jewelry designer, have you moved on?"

Xie Zhengyan corrected: "What is empathy, don't talk nonsense, and I only mentioned him to you once, okay?"

"Hahaha, because he is a colleague, and he is the handsome guy I most envy and hate, so I am deeply impressed. Do you still see him often now?"

"No, I haven't seen it since the last rainy day."

"Why don't you go find him?"

"He is in Xi'an, and he comes to Shanghai once or twice a month at most, and only stays for two or three days each time."

"Then take advantage of those few days to find him at his work place."

"Why should I look for him, he doesn't know me."

"If you don't know him, you can watch it. Don't you like to spy on him?"

Xie Zhengyan is now able to fight back against Qian Fan's teasing at will. When he heard his words out of line, he immediately scolded him: "I was just envious and yearning. Your thoughts are really too obscene, and even the best feelings will be treated as vulgar by you."

"Hahaha, okay, okay, I admit it. But if you can meet him again, you will be very happy, right?"

"Well, it should be."

Xie Zhengyan lacks the element of arrogance, so he does not have the instinct of duplicity. When communicating with people he trusts, his attitude is often pure, and generally speaking, he will express his thoughts honestly.On weekdays, he would indeed often think of Rong Chuan, especially when he had nothing to do, the figure of that person would float into his mind like a beautiful woman, and a person who was pleasing to the eye was like an article with a golden voice, which made people yearn for it.

Hearing his confession, Qianfan said: "You should list this as one of your New Year's resolutions."

"Ok?"

"Wishes, they can't be too far away and arduous. Find something that is easy to achieve first, and your morale will be boosted if you achieve it. You can treat meeting your idol as a small wish, and it may come true soon."

Xie Zhengyan was so funny, he was about to laugh at him for being "sick", and then listened to him make even more funny suggestions.

"Go to the temple to burn incense tomorrow."

"what!?"

"I heard that there is a Jade Buddha Temple in Shanghai. The Bodhisattva is very spiritual. Tomorrow is the Fourth Goat Day, which is very suitable for burning incense and worshiping the Buddha. You can go to the Jade Buddha Temple to pray to the Bodhisattva. Maybe your wish will come true."

"This is too nonsense, why do you think that one out is one out."

"Go, please help me by the way. I have been really unlucky in the past few years. You help me ask the Bodhisattva to bless me, and I will give you incense money."

After he finished speaking, he really sent a red envelope of 360 yuan as a fee for inviting Xie Zhengyan to burn incense.Xie Zhengyan thought that he had heard the rumors about the bodhisattva's efficacy in the Jade Buddha Temple, and that he was in a hurry to go to the doctor to place his hope on religion. It was just an excuse to persuade himself to worship the Buddha and make a wish. The main purpose was to find someone to burn incense on his behalf.Feeling sorry for him, he agreed to help him.Qian Fan was very happy, and at the end he specially told: "You should burn incense early, I asked someone to calculate the time, 8 o'clock tomorrow morning is an auspicious time, don't miss it."

The fourth day of the lunar new year was also a cold and smoggy day. The cold air was like tentacles with long suction cups burrowing into the collar, and every gust of cold wind was like a hungry tiger coming out of work to dig out the heart.This kind of cold weather holiday is most suitable for being in bed at home, but her husband promises to win a thousand dollars, and promises that he will not break his promise, so Xie Zhengyan woke up early in the cold and arrived at the Jade Buddha Temple on time at 8 o'clock.

This temple located in the downtown area is one of the most popular temples in Shanghai, and many big figures in the city often come here to pay their respects. During the Spring Festival, there are a lot of pilgrims, and there are huge crowds outside the temple, which is more lively than going to the market.

Xie Zhengyan worshiped Buddha statues one by one from the Heavenly King Hall on the first level, and bowed down to the abbot's room on the third level.He stood in front of the railing outside the main hall and looked down, only to see a team with extraordinary aura rushing into his eyes.

There are about a dozen members in this group, all of them are dressed in rich clothes and look bright. The one who walks in the lead is an old gentleman who is about [-] years old, followed by four elegant middle-aged ladies. They were all young men and women in their golden years, and they seemed to be traveling with their families from a wealthy family. The ostentation was very low-key, but the aura was enough to amaze the traffickers and pawns.

Xie Zhengyan was more surprised than everyone around him. He closed his eyes and shook his head, then took a closer look, and immediately opened his mouth to take a deep breath of air-conditioning. He couldn't believe that the most eye-catching young man walking in the middle of the team was Rui Heng who often made him daydream. Rong Chuan, Director of Jewelry Design Department.

Did the Bodhisattva really appear?But he obviously didn't make this wish. Yes, the Bodhisattva has great powers, so of course he can know his unspoken thoughts, but this wish was fulfilled too quickly, and he was not ready for a new encounter.

Because of this, he was at a loss for what to do, suspecting that his hair was too messy and his clothes were disheveled, he fiddled up and down hastily, while Rong Chuan and his party had already climbed the steps without stopping.At this time, the staff at the entrance of the hall raised their loudspeakers again to maintain order.

"Visitors who want to pray to Buddha, please line up here and enter the temple one by one."

Xie Zhengyan was pushed towards the gate of the hall by the crowd around him, and he arrived at the threshold of the main hall at the same time as Rong Chuan. He stared blankly at him, his face already covered with chili sauce.

It was the first time he got so close, and he found that he needed to look up at him slightly. Judging from the height difference, Rong Chuan was at least 1 meters tall. He was dressed formally today, with a black woolen coat and a warm, pleasant-smelling woody perfume on his body. Smell, not only taste, his thick and light hair, fair and clean complexion, soft and rosy lips, long and neat eyebrows, and soft and quiet eyes under the eyebrows give people a warm and sunny feeling, like a ray of In the dawn of privately descending to earth, he was smiling at him.

Xie Zhengyan's heart was turned into a pot of boiling water by his smile, bubbling and churning.

"Tourists here, please line up."

The staff yelled again.Xie Zhengyan found that his presence disturbed the formation, and he looked around and didn't know where to settle down. Rong Chuan stepped back a little bit to make a gap, and slightly raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation to him.

Did he let me get ahead of him?

Xie Zhengyan lowered his head in a panic, not having a better choice, he hurriedly got into that position, his scalp shuddered after standing still, and secretly scolded himself for forgetting to thank him.

Now it’s more like a fool to go back and say thank you, so he had to pretend to be careless. He moved slowly with the team, thinking that Rong Chuan might be watching him quietly from behind, waves of heat rolled over the back of his head, and his ears almost melted .After a few minutes, they finally reached the futon in front of the Buddha statue. Rong Chuan stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and knelt down on the futon next to him.Xie Zhengyan's heart was shaking at this moment, he could no longer concentrate, and the situation was so compelling that he had to follow suit.The two kowtowed three times in succession, praying silently with palms together. He couldn't help but glance sideways, and saw that Rong Chuan's eyes were closed and his expression was solemn and solemn. .

He was envious and frightened, and scolded himself for being audacious. The Buddha dared to do such sneaky and obscene acts. Isn't this cockroach's virtue just like those hooligans who used to burn incense to spy on good women in ancient times? nature?

While thinking wildly, Rong Chuan had already got up to leave, so he also got up quickly, and nervously recited a few words of apology silently.Walking out of the palace gate, seeing Rong Chuan and his group signing the merit book one by one, they hurriedly took out the 360 ​​yuan given by Qian Fan in the wallet and put it into the merit box, and queued behind him to wait for the signature.

I just repented to the Bodhisattva just now, does this count as knowingly committing a crime?But he couldn't help it, fireflies always chased the moonlight by instinct, today's chance coincidence made him meet the male god, he really had to look at him a few more times.

Rong Chuan didn't turn his head when he was queuing. He probably didn't know that Xie Zhengyan was following behind him. He signed his name and put down his pen, and went straight away with his family. Far away, he rushed to pick it up, and someone picked it up for him first.

Rong Chuan, he hasn't left yet!

Xie Zhengyan seemed to have been hit by the fixation technique, his eyeballs wouldn't move, only his stubborn heartbeat was throbbing in his ears, thump, thump, thump, he was really afraid that the noise around him wouldn't be able to cover up the embarrassment that made him feel ashamed bang.

Rong Chuan handed back the pen to him, with a nice smile on the corners of his pointed lips.Xie Zhengyan could have spoken to him with a "thank you", but he was completely dazed, and just missed the best time to strike up a conversation. The people waiting behind him for signatures quickly urged him impatiently, and he quickly turned around mechanically. Complete the remaining words before running back to the merit book.You don't need to think about how uncoordinated your posture is when you do these movements, and you are in a hurry. A disabled person with suspected cerebellar palsy is really stupid!

When he turned around, he searched 360° in all directions but could not find Rong Chuan again. He must have left the monastery with his family.Xie Zhengyan shrank down like a discouraged ball, as if he was an empty shell standing on the ground, and the paralyzed shadow on the ground was the real him. After being lost for a long time, he recalled the libretto in "Romance of the West Chamber" vividly:

"The gods of the Moon Palace return to the heavens, and there are only willows and smoke left here. The door covers the pear blossom deep courtyard, and the powder wall is as high as the blue sky. I hate the sky for not being convenient for people, so how can I not be proud of the horse heart ape."
