One night a week later, Liu Lian suddenly received a call from Liu Yanchi, and hurriedly said that she needed her help. Without saying a word, Liu Lian drove to the place Liu Yanchi mentioned, only to find that it was not Liu Yanchi's house at all. address, but a temporary residence rented by her sister Li Yuanyuan.

This is a very old three-story apartment building. Li Yuanyuan lives on the second floor. Before going upstairs, he has to pass through a long dark alley with no street lights. The wild cats were flopping about in the garbage cans, and the environment was very bad.Liu Lian didn't expect that Li Yuanyuan would live in such a place in Beijing. She used to think that Li Yuanyuan lived in a superior life, after all, she was much better than herself.

Finally, she walked downstairs to the apartment with the light on her mobile phone, and finally there were dim street lights in the simple stairwell covered with advertisements. Liu Lian found the one on the left of the second floor that Liu Yanchi mentioned, and knocked on the door.

It didn't take long for the door to open, and Liu Yanchi appeared in front of her eyes with a tired face. She smiled at Liu Lian with the corners of her mouth pulled, and said, "You're here, come in."

Liu Lian handed Liu Yanchi the fruit basket she brought, and bent down to take off her shoes.

"It's okay, you don't need to take off your shoes here." Liu Yanchi said, "Just come here, why bother to spend such money!"

"There's a fruit stand downstairs, so I bought it when it looked good." Liu Lian said with a smile, "By the way, where is Sister Yuanyuan?"

Speaking of Li Yuanyuan, Liu Yanchi couldn't help sighing, pointing to the closed bedroom door and said: "She locked herself inside, and she won't open the door no matter what I talk to her, I really can't help it... Hey, Help me persuade her."

Liu Lian followed Liu Yanchi into the house. This apartment is not big, and the living room and dining room are shared. With the tea table, sofa and TV set, the originally narrow living room is a bit untenable, but although the sparrow is small and complete, the house Li Yuanyuan tidied up everything neatly. Compared with Lu Ziqi's deserted home in Naoda, this place looks warmer.

Liu Lian walked to the bedroom door, knocked lightly on the door a few times, and called out tentatively, "Sister Yuanyuan? I'm Liu Lian."

After waiting for a long time, there was no response from the room, and Li Yuanyuan had no intention of opening the door.

Liu Lian turned her head and glanced at Liu Yanchi. Liu Yanchi was looking at Liu Lian expectantly. When she met Liu Lian's questioning eyes, she just shrugged her shoulders, and finally sighed helplessly: "Not long ago, her mother came here. ...Her mother was very opposed to our being together before, this time it's a quarrel..." Liu Yanchi paused, smiled wryly before continuing, "It seems that we can't be together anymore..."

Liu Yanchi didn't care whether Liu Lian could understand her or not, she just vomited out all the entanglements in her heart.

"..." Liu Lian didn't know how to answer Liu Yanchi's words, so she could only say: "Don't be so discouraged, let nature take its course."

Liu Yanchi nodded in frustration, only afterwards did she realize that Liu Lian might not know about her relationship with Li Yuanyuan.

Liu Lian knocked on the door again for a long time, but Li Yuanyuan still didn't move at all, and she didn't hear any sound from the door next door. Liu Lian suddenly remembered Lu Ziqi's self-mutilation, she was startled, and said to Liu Yanchi in a low voice: "Oops!" Now, will Sister Yuanyuan be overwhelmed, inside..." Liu Lian didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but Liu Yanchi could understand.

"Impossible?!" Liu Yanchi also panicked. People tend to think wildly when they are extremely lost. She slammed on the door and slammed it wildly, "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, open the door quickly, Don't be too hard on yourself, if you want to leave, I will let you go, Yuanyuan, you must not do stupid things, what will I do if you leave..."

Before the sound of Liu Yanchi crying and howling, the door suddenly opened. Liu Yanchi who was lying on the door was caught off guard and fell forward and hit Li Yuanyuan. Liu Yanchi, who was pushed back a few steps staggeringly, said to Liu Lian, "Come in."

Liu Yanchi howled: "Then what about me?"

Li Yuanyuan ignored Liu Yanchi, directly dragged Liu Lian into the bedroom, and then closed the door with a "thud", and Liu Yanchi knocked on the door again.

"Are you...are you leaving?" Liu Lian asked, pointing to the messy pile of clothes on the bed and the suitcase on the ground.

"Can you not go? If I stay here again, my mother may not even recognize me as a daughter." Li Yuanyuan's eyes were red, it was obvious that she had just cried, she sat on the bed and was dumb while packing her things. The voice said, "Forget it, I haven't made a name for myself in Beijing for a few years. It's better to go back to Chengdu to take the civil servant exam and find a reliable man to live a good life."

Liu Lian said: "But civil servants are not so easy to test..."

Li Yuanyuan: "..."

"..." Liu Lian quickly waved her hands and said, "Ah...Sister Yuanyuan, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to say that after all, you have lived in Beijing for so many years, and your work base is all in Beijing. You have to start all over again when you return to Chengdu. gone."

"I know what you mean." Li Yuanyuan smiled at Liu Lian. Under the incandescent light, her smile was weak and bleak, "Actually, I was the same in Chengdu as I was in Beijing. I was full of confidence when I thought about the opportunities in Beijing. I ran here regardless, but the reality taught me a lesson. After a few years in Beijing, my monthly salary was barely enough to live on, and I didn’t have any savings. It’s better to go back to Chengdu if things go on like this, at least There’s no rent to pay there.”

Liu Lian asked: "What about Liu Yanchi? Are you planning to break up with her?"

Li Yuanyuan was a little stunned when she heard the words, Liu Lian thought she was in a daze about Liu Yanchi's question, but the next moment she heard Li Yuanyuan ask: "Do you know my relationship with her?"

"I ran into my aunt on the plane to Beijing, and she told me everything about you." Liu Lian said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sister Yuanyuan, but I will send my aunt to the taxi at Liu Yanchi's house... ..."

Li Yuanyuan pursed her lips and did not mean to blame Liu Lian. She took Liu Lian's hand and asked her to sit next to her, and said, "It's not your fault, my mother can find us even without you."

Liu Lian asked: "Then you really plan to break up with Liu Yanchi?"

"Part, this time we have to." Li Yuanyuan's smile was mixed with bitterness. She glanced at the door, and Liu Yanchi, who had knocked on the door for a long time before giving up, didn't know what she was doing, "Little Lian, you are not ours." I’m in the circle, so you don’t understand how I feel now, liking someone and living with that person are two different things, normal couples can still rely on children and marriage certificates to maintain a relationship even if they don’t have feelings, if we even like her If it’s gone, then there’s really nothing.”

Liu Lian said, "But don't you still like her?"

"How long can this kind of liking last?" Li Yuanyuan said, "As my mother said, this relationship is unstable and I have to endure other people's strange eyes... Anyway, I have figured it out, so let's do it."

Liu Lian watched Li Yuanyuan pack her luggage silently with her head down, all words were choked in her throat for a moment and she couldn't speak.She wants to tell Li Yuanyuan that she is also a member of "that circle" in Li Yuanyuan's mouth. She wants to say that she doesn't know how to face Liu's father and Liu mother. She also wants to say that she is very confused about the future.

But none of the last words came out.

Liu Lian watched helplessly as Li Yuanyuan packed up her luggage and walked out of the bedroom. Liu Yanchi, who was listlessly waiting on the sofa, rushed over when she heard the door opening: "Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you, please tell me? I'm very worried about you... ...what's the matter with your luggage? Are you really leaving?"

Li Yuanyuan said coldly: "Yes, I have thought clearly these few days. It is not an option for us to remain unclear. It is better to part ways as soon as possible."

"But... But I don't think we are unclear..." Liu Yanchi said with wide-eyed eyes, "I took you to meet my family, and we also agreed to go to the Netherlands next year to get a certificate. How can this be called wrong?" Is it clear?"

"My mother didn't acknowledge our relationship." Li Yuanyuan turned her head and said.

"You can't give up our relationship for so many years just because of Aunt Liu's objection!" Liu Yanchi stared at Li Yuanyuan, as if to see a hole in her, "My sacrifice to you is so unworthy Did you mention it? Think about how many times you have broken up with me, but which time you didn’t ask me to come back, I will return to you immediately, I am not your lover, it is simply what you call and wave Go pet dog!"

In the end Liu Yanchi almost roared out, her eyes gradually turned red, and a layer of mist obscured her vision.

"The matter has come to this, you can think whatever you want." Li Yuanyuan lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before saying, "Xiao Lian, can you take me to the airport?"

"Ah?" Liu Lian said, "Now? But it's past nine o'clock..."

"I booked a ticket for eleven o'clock in the evening, please excuse me." Li Yuanyuan dragged her suitcase and walked in front of Liu Yanchi, and after a few steps she stopped suddenly, "By the way, you gave me something I put them all in a drawer in my room, this house will expire in a few days, take back all your things you can."

Liu Yanchi stared blankly at the ground and did not answer Li Yuanyuan's words.

"Little Lian, let's go."

Liu Lian looked embarrassed, and after saying hello to Liu Yanchi who was in a petrified state, she trotted to catch up with Li Yuanyuan in front of her.

On the way to the airport, Li Yuanyuan just stared out the window and didn't speak. The atmosphere in the car was so silent that Liu Lian felt very uncomfortable. She wanted to say a few words to ease the atmosphere, but Li Yuanyuan was just being kind. There was no response after a few beeps.

Liu Lian kept sending Li Yuanyuan to the check-in office at the airport, and Li Yuanyuan said to Liu Lian, "Thank you tonight."

"Why are you all sisters being so polite!" Liu Lian said, "Since you have made a decision, go straight on and don't let yourself have a chance to regret it."

Li Yuanyuan nodded: "Well, I will work hard."

The two chatted nonchalantly for another half an hour, and Liu Lian said goodbye to Li Yuanyuan only after Li Yuanyuan's condition was much better than before.

Liu Lian turned around and walked a few steps when suddenly there was a burst of crying from behind, and the sound was very familiar.

Li Yuanyuan? !

Liu Lian hurriedly turned around and looked, and she saw Li Yuanyuan crying out of breath in front of the ticket gate. She wiped the tears on her face with the back of her hand and cried hoarsely. Looking at her with surprised eyes.

"Sister." Liu Lian hurried forward to help Li Yuanyuan stand up, dragged Li Yuanyuan's suitcase and said, "Don't cry, let's go out and talk."

Li Yuanyuan choked and nodded, obediently followed Liu Lian away.

The next morning, Lu Ziqi stood in front of the kitchen door and stared at Li Yuanyuan who was clumsily working in the kitchen, then asked Liu Lian with a black face, "Is this the life assistant you are looking for?"

Liu Lian chuckled, approached Lu Ziqi and said in a low voice: "This is my sister Yuanyuan, you should know her situation, anyway, you also lack an assistant, why don't you find an acquaintance, so that the fat and water don't flow to outsiders."

As soon as the words were finished, there was a sound of crackling plates falling to the floor in the kitchen.

The veins on Lu Ziqi's forehead twitched, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "What she broke was an antique plate I found in the Melbourne market."

Liu Lian, who was wronged, could only fan Lu Ziqi with her hands while smiling and saying: "Please calm down, my lord, I will definitely buy you some more dishes to compensate you later."

"Pay, pay, can you afford it?" Lu Ziqi said, "It's not too bad to sleep with me for a thousand nights."

Liu Lian said angrily, "You are an animal that can only think with your body!"

"Thanks for the compliment." Lu Ziqi said lightly and walked towards the living room with a milk cup.

The next second, Li Yuanyuan's exclamation came from the kitchen again, and Liu Lian was startled, and hurried into the kitchen: "What's wrong?"

Li Yuanyuan looked at Liu Lian pitifully while clutching his wrist: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohood

Liu Lian: "..." She suddenly doubted whether it was the right decision to let Li Yuanyuan be Lu Ziqi's life assistant.

Time passed quickly in the season when the grass grows and the birds fly. In two months, Li Yuanyuan gradually started to work as a life assistant. Of course, she also made many mistakes in her studies, but Lu Ziqi generously forgave her, and then at night Get back double from Liu Lian.

Li Yuanyuan, who was moved to the point of tears by Lu Ziqi's generosity, had no idea that her younger sister was still being subjected to various "punishments" under Lu Ziqi's clutches.

After staying in Beijing for three months, not long after the beginning of summer, Lu Ziqi, who received the filming notice, was going to Shanghai to film the silly sweet white family sitcom.

Three days before departure, Liu Lian received another text message from Zhou Xue asking her to go to the company.

In fact, Zhou Xue was very tolerant towards Lu Ziqi. Sometimes even Liu Lian wondered if Lu Ziqi saved Zhou Xue’s parents and got so many special treatment. Huazhong Company has clearly stipulated that each artist must come to the company to report three days a week. Filming trips and vacations don’t count.

Lu Ziqi, who is used to doing whatever she wants, doesn't take the company's regulations seriously at all. Even if she doesn't come to the company to report for a few weeks, no one dares to speak out against her, so Liu Lian has developed a bad habit of not bothering to go to the company when there is no important matter. got used to.

"Zi Qi is still sleeping. Going to Shanghai will inevitably have to work hard for a while. She said that she must get enough sleep first." Liu Lian explained to Lu Ziqi.

"I'm used to her temperament, laziness, laziness and disregard for discipline." Zhou Xue sat behind the desk and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter if she doesn't come. I asked you to come to talk about hype."

Liu Lian: "Huh?"

"Last time, the news about Zi Qi eating and watching movies with male actors sank within a few days, and this time the gimmick should be made bigger." Zhou Xue said, "To be honest, Zi Qi is also 30 years old. Now If she doesn't have that strength and luck in the entertainment industry, she can only rely on her youthful meals, and then arrange a good movie for her to try, as long as she wins an award, she can say anything."

Liu Lian didn't know what to say after listening to it for a long time, and finally said oh.

Zhou Xue began to reprimand again: "Also, don't choose dramas for her in the future, just choose movies and only choose the heroine. It is best to choose a famous director."

Liu Lian said, "Okay."

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing." Zhou Xue said again, "I sent you the information of the next hype target to your mailbox, you can go back and check, he is the male actor of Ziqi's same crew this time, and he is close to the water, you can Let them hang around while they are in Shanghai."

Liu Lian's head was a little dazed: "Okay..."

Thinking that last month Lu Ziqi spared a lot of private time to date other men, even the Internet was filled with photos of Lu Ziqi and that man walking on the street intimately, for some reason, Liu Lian felt very uncomfortable, she even had The idea of ​​simply announcing her relationship with Lu Ziqi, so that those reporters would not randomly label Lu Ziqi.
