No one really thinks it's hard to be a stand-in, right?

This year’s New Year’s Eve, when Spring Festival coincided with Valentine’s Day, the two festivals merged into one, and Penguin Space was reposting the message saying: If you confess to me on Valentine’s Day, then I can reply you Happy New Year.

Fu Chenyu threw the phone on the bed, sat in front of the computer, and skillfully opened a website that was all in English.

Lin Yun wore a red modified cheongsam and ran to Fu Chenyu's door, and knocked on the door like a little adult: "Second brother, can I come in?"

With Fu Chenyu's consent, Lin Yun hung her hands on the doorknob. Her hair was loose and she held a light blue flower bud scrunchie in her hand: "Second brother, can you braid my hair for me?"

Fu Chenyu took the hair band and grabbed the girl's hair: "The hair is so short, it's still tied."

Lin Yun: "Where is it missing, second brother, you can comb it twice more!"

Fu Chenyu grabbed two small flower buds for her, and said coldly: "Hair won't grow just because you comb it a few more times."

Lin Yun didn't leave after her hair was tied up, she just sat on the small bench and dawdled.

Fu Chenyu knew that she had something to say, so he waited casually.

Lin Yun turned her head and asked, "Second brother, why don't you come back to Jianjing with us."

Fu Chenyu: "No."

Lin Yun's whole little face collapsed.

Fu Chenyu thought to himself: The Lin family returned to Jianjing this year to worship their ancestors, what would he do as an outsider?

Lin Jian had asked him a year ago, Fu Chenyu didn't want to embarrass the relatives of the Lin family, nor did he want to embarrass himself, so he just couldn't say it.

Lin Jianyi did not force him. After all, Fu Chenyu has a precocious temperament, is more sensitive than others in many things, and can make up his own mind, so he left 2 yuan for Fu Chenyu at home, and brought Lin Xihe with him during the Chinese New Year. Lin Yun returned to Jianjing.

The relationship between Lin Xi and Fu Chenyu has always been neither salty nor cold, and they can't be called brothers and sisters, but there are not too many conflicts, like roommates living together.

But Lin Yun and Fu Chenyu came out of the same belly, and they are very dependent on Fu Chenyu. A few days ago, after knowing that he would not return to Jianjing for the New Year, she made excuses and circled around her all day, trying to persuade him to go home together.

Lin Yun had an idea: "Then I'll ask Brother Mianmian to accompany you during the New Year!"

Fu Chenyu pinched her face and threatened: "Don't tell him."

Lin Yun burst into tears: "But the second brother is so lonely during the New Year alone..."

Fu Chenyu let go, shut Lin Yun out of the door coldly, and threw her a sentence: "Don't worry too much about children, they will gain weight."

Lin Yun happened to be at the age of loving beauty, and was attacked by Fu Chenyu, "Oh—" said, "I'm not very fat! Brother Mianmian said that girls are only cuter if they are fatter!"

"Ah Choo." Ji Mian sneezed, almost poking her hand with the scissors.

Lin Minzhi put down the half-cut window grilles and asked, "Have you caught a cold?"

Ji Mian sniffed, the scissors clicked and clicked: "No."

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, Lin Minzhi's business is busy. There are more than 100 workers packing the New Year's goods alone.

Now she is gradually transforming into the gift industry. In addition to a few chain stores, she has partnered with a few proprietresses she knows to set up a gift company, which is responsible for special small gifts in banks, beauty salons, museums and other places, and also accepts reservations from companies. , Make moon cakes, rice dumplings and other holiday gifts.

The company grew bigger and bigger, and Lin Minzhi learned more and more. The bosses all said that she had a business mind.

She has become rich, and her social status has also risen. The proprietress and wives she knows have all studied and studied.Knowing how to learn, having a lot of knowledge, and having a high vision, Lin Minzhi was envious and dissatisfied.

They are all human beings, if others can read it, so can she.Lin Minzhi is not strong in other things, that is, she can endure hardships, she can turn her head quickly, and she goes shopping and drinking tea with the wives, and learns their advanced ideas.

At this time, Lin Minzhi saw the world and heard voices differently.

When I was a little proprietress in the past, people around me would talk about it, saying that it was useless for her to be so strong as a woman, and she still had to find a man to rely on.

Now as Chairman Lin, no one told her that it is useless for a woman to be strong. They all told her that a person must live a good life and be decent by herself, and that relying on anything is better than relying on herself.

Thinking back to a few years ago, her mother told her not to read too many women's books, because if you read too much, no man will want it.

Isn't it true that if you read more books, you will be smarter, can you still be cheated by a man?

It's ridiculous.

Ji Mian said: "Mom, you remember to go for a physical examination, no matter how busy you are, you can't miss it."

Over the years, Ji Mian has been worried about Lin Minzhi's health.

In her previous life, she cried and went blind when she was less than fifty. Later, she became a poor old lady with all kinds of problems, and she didn't even have subsistence allowances.

50 years old, older than 70 years old.

Now Lin Minzhi was sitting in front of him perfectly, she was almost fifty, she looked like a beautiful woman in her early thirties.

She and her wives go to beauty salons for medical treatment, and they can buy tens of thousands of skin care products without blinking an eye.

The fate of the previous life and the present life is completely different.

It is also because of this that Ji Mian has the courage to get rid of his own destiny.

Lin Minzhi gave him the greatest sense of security.

"I know, I go there every year." Lin Minzhi chatted casually with her son, unlike being a proprietress outside, she always had a straight face: "I'm living so well now, how can I be willing to die."

She also lost the accent of a foreigner, and Tongcheng's local language is better than other locals.

A trendy look.

The two were chatting, and when they talked about Ji Yao, Lin Minzhi couldn't hide the joy on his face.

Ji Yao is going home for the New Year this year!

In [-], the first time she knew the term homosexuality, it was like a heavy shackle fell on her head.

The strange eyes of her neighbors, her husband's infidelity and contempt made her unable to hold her head up.

She thought it was a disease, so she naively saved up money and wanted to go to a big hospital to cure her son's disease.

Now that I think about it, my behavior is ignorant and naive.

Lin Minzhi found out from her good friend Mrs. Zhou that Mrs. Zhou's son is also gay.

Mrs. Zhou's husband is an oil company. She was born in a scholarly family, counting up to three generations. She has also produced celebrities and great writers. There are photos in the textbooks.She only has one only child, and when talking about him, she mentioned lightly: "I have changed three boyfriends, and I haven't settled down yet. I just like to play, and I don't want to get a marriage certificate."

Lin Minzhi was dumbfounded at the time, and asked several times: "Here, boyfriend..."

Mrs. Zhou said: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, my son likes men."

Lin Minzhi looked around at the wives drinking tea, everyone's expressions were normal, not changing at all.

It seemed that she was the only one who made a fuss and felt that this matter should be kept under wraps.

Lin Minzhi stammered: "A man and a man...can also get a marriage certificate?"

Mrs. Zhou said: "Oh, Minzhi, in what age, you can receive it long ago when you go abroad."

Lin Minzhi didn't understand again: "But...men and men are together, what about children?"

Mrs. Zhou said: "I'm so tired of children. Whoever wants to hold a grandson will have to give birth by himself. My son can't expect me to bring him a grandson."

Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, and then said: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. My son has chosen this path by himself, so he should be prepared to end his sons and grandchildren, or he will find a way to give birth by himself, and he will lie to other girls to give birth to him. Then I will kill him."

"It's all about living, what's the difference between living with a man and a woman. Just live comfortably by yourself."

"Look at me and my family, we fought when we were young, and quarreled when we were old. This life is like a calamity, and no one understands it."

This was the first time Lin Minzhi knew that men and men could also get marriage certificates.

It turns out that not wanting children is not unfilial.

People live for a lifetime, and they have to live for themselves.

These years, Lin Minzhi rarely mentioned Ji Yao's matter to Ji Mian.

But when it comes to his brother, Lin Minzhi's face is beaming, there is always something to say.

Although Ji Yao seldom went home these years, he would send money to Lin Minzhi every month.

In the past, this money could save lives, but later it was nothing, but Lin Minzhi still cherished it very much, and opened a special card to save it, saying that if he wanted to save it for Ji Yao to buy a house, it would also be a bride price.

Every year she makes money, she adds a few sums to her card, and now it is several million.

She thought about it, Ji Yao likes men, even if he brings a man home, he can't be wronged.

If she wants to buy a house, buy a car, and give a bride price, she should raise another son.

Knowing that men can also get marriage certificates, Lin Minzhi became more energetic in her work.

Ji Mian said, "I haven't seen my brother very much."

Lin Minzhi smiled and said, "My brother and Mianmian look very similar, as if they were carved out of the same mold. But my brother should be more introverted, not as talkative as you."

...Where is introversion, brother is simply a cold beauty, okay?

Ji Mian complained silently in her heart.

He had seen Ji Yao's photo, and knew about Ji Yao's recent situation. He heard that he was an executive in a private company and was only promoted this year.

After so many years of struggling, I am also heading in a good direction.

The photo was taken under the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai. Ji Yao's expression was cold, his face was four to five points similar to Ji Mian's. He was young, and there was a fine line between his eyebrows, probably because of frequent frowning.

Wearing a black suit, a pair of elite style.

With the news of Ji Yao's return home for the New Year, Ji Mian felt a little more hopeful.

In his previous life, he was the only child in his family and had no brothers or sisters. He didn't know what it was like to have an older brother.

When Ji Yao came back, Ji Mian knew that having an older brother means having a lot of money!

As soon as Ji Yao came back, he gave Ji Mian a red envelope of 1 yuan.

For Ji Mian, whose pocket money is only 500 yuan a month, it is a windfall!Ji Yao's image instantly became glorious in his heart!

Ji Yao looks the same as in the photo, and it's the same as what Lin Minzhi said, cold and not talkative.

But when he touched his head, there was a brother's tenderness in his eyes.

Ji Mian knew that Lin Minzhi and Ji Yao hadn't seen each other for so many years, so he had a lot to say.

And he was not good at dealing with these tender scenes by nature, so he found an excuse and slipped out of the house.

Now he is also a small rich man with 1 yuan on his body, Ji Mian has money in his pocket, no matter how much he spends, he feels that it is not meaningful enough.

Finally, he thought of Fu Chenyu.

If you have money, of course you have to spend it with your brothers!

First treat Fu Chenyu to eat pancakes with two eggs, and then buy two bottles of milk, one for drinking and one for rinsing!

Of course, what's more important is that after the winter vacation, Ji Mian hasn't seen Fu Chenyu for a week.

Fu Chenyu's winter and summer vacations are much busier than his, either in class or on the way to class, and only the Chinese New Year can relax for a few days.

Sure enough, geniuses don't learn skills just by looking at them!

He remembered that in the original book, the big villain Fox was able to do all decathlons, and when he went out to sea at the end, he could even sail a boat!

Not to mention flying helicopters and making explosives.

The most difficult thing about Fox is that he is very knowledgeable and knows a lot of unpopular knowledge. He can clearly understand many things that the police don't know very well. Therefore, after being arrested several times, he was released because of insufficient evidence.

The police who interrogated Fox were also told by him.

The character is cunning and cautious, there is no word that is not lying, and no word is true, but the appearance is reliable and gentle, which is extremely deceptive.

Fox might be better suited to be a cop than a villain.

However, Ji Mian took back his steps to find Fu Chenyu.

No matter how good their relationship is, they are just friends. Fu Chenyu will definitely spend time with his family.

When it's New Year's Eve, call Fu Chenyu!

On New Year's Eve, Lin Yun kept guarding her phone, trying to be the first beauty to say Happy New Year to Brother Mianmian!

During the Spring Festival Gala, just after midnight, Lin Yun pressed the phone and waited for a long time, when a cold girl came from over there: Hello, the number you dialed is currently on the line...

Lin Yun:!

Forget it, brother Mianmian has already missed the opportunity, so call the second brother.

The second brother is also very handsome, and I want to be the first beauty to say Happy New Year to the handsome guy!

This year's Valentine's Day and Spring Festival are both one day.

Significant!I must send my "Happy New Year" wishes to the handsome guy!

As a result, when the call was made, there was still a cold voice prompt from the other side: Hello, the number you dialed is currently on the phone...

Lin Yun: ...

She had an unfortunate thought that lingered in her mind.

His second brother... isn't he on the phone with brother Mianmian, is he?

"Happy New Year!" Ji Mian yelled super loudly, but his voice was still overwhelmed by the fireworks. Nowadays, fireworks and firecrackers in the city center must be set off at a designated location, which happens to be near Ji Mian's home: "Isn't it enough sincerity?" , Am I the first one to call you to say Happy New Year? Don’t be bored..."

Fu Chenyu: "Boring."

Ji Mian smiled and said, "Have you watched the Spring Festival Gala? Have you eaten the New Year's Eve dinner?"

Fu Chenyu glanced at the empty room, half a bucket of instant noodles was cold on the table, and said casually: "Eat."

Ji Mian: "What did you eat? My brother came back this year, and my mother cooked a whole table of dishes for me to eat with Uncle Zhang. Hey, I actually think it's good for Uncle Zhang to be my father. It's been so many years Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that he likes my mother, but he just refuses to say it, which makes me anxious to death."

"Yeah." Fu Chenyu lazily replied, "Don't you have me as your father?"

"Fu Chenyu!" Ji Mian raised her voice and said amusedly, "You took advantage of me."

Fu Chenyu's tone was even lazier: "Statement of the facts is also called taking advantage."

He thought badly: Come to my house, and I will tell you what real taking advantage is.

Ji Mian said: "I won't talk to you anymore. I will come to your house to play with you tomorrow."

Ji Mian was sleepy at night, thinking that he hadn't called anyone else yet, he had greeted Fu Chenyu, and hung up the phone.

Next, he called his aunt and sent text messages to several classmates, and received Lin Yun's holiday blessing.

"Happy New Year! Brother Mianmian." Lin Yun's tone was very excited.

"Happy New Year. Tomorrow I will come to your house to find you and give us Xiaoyun a big red envelope."

Lin Yun: "Brother Mianmian, but this year I went back to Jianjing with my father."

Ji Mian froze for a moment, "Jianjing?"

Lin Yun: "Well! But the second brother didn't come back with us, he was alone at home. I want to tell you, you should play with him more, the second brother is so lonely."

Ji Mian didn't know why he hung up the phone.

He turned his head and saw that it was snowing heavily outside, and every house was filled with warm light.

Thinking of Fu Chenyu alone in the empty room, Ji Mian's heart tightened a little.

Another snowy night, another New Year's Eve.

Fu Chenyu was thrown down again, and there was only one person left.

Something has changed, yet nothing seems to have changed.

Ji Mian grabbed the scarf and coat, opened the bedroom door and went out.

Lin Minzhi just served the dumplings, and said anxiously: "Mianmian, what are you doing out so late?"

Ji Mian didn't turn her head back: "I'm going to Fu Chenyu's house. Uncle Lin has brought Xiaoyun back to Jianjing. He's the only one in their house. I'll accompany him. I won't be coming back tonight!"

Lin Minzhi: "Hey, Mianmian, run slowly, have you brought an umbrella—"

Ji Mianren has already run away.

Lin Minzhi put down the dumplings, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Your brother really... I've never seen anyone run away to someone's house on New Year's Eve."

Ji Yao asked, "Who is Fu Chenyu?"

Lin Minzhi: "Mianmian's good friend, he goes to the same school as him, they grew up together, and they have a very close relationship."

Ji Yao casually asked, "Is it a girl?"

Lin Minzhi was surprised: "Boy, why do you think so?"

Ji Yao tapped the table with his hand on the table, and said lightly: "It's okay. Maybe I'm thinking too much."
