After being betrayed by so-called friends, Shen Yinan gets drunk to drown his sorrows.
He originally wanted to find someone to accompany him, but he dialed the wrong number, leading to an une...
The young man sat casually against the wall, his white hair hanging down, and the sunlight shone through the green leaves onto his tall nose, making it impossible to look away.
A burnt-out cigarette was pinched between his slender knuckles, but he didn't care at all. He just raised his eyes and looked into the distance, wondering what he was thinking.
Shen Yinan stared at the screen, feeling that the beating of his heart almost drowned out all other sounds.
"What an internet idol." Xue Ning clicked his tongue twice, then clarified, "This guy doesn't smoke. I lent it to him and Lu Zhi to pretend to be cool and take photos."
She laughed proudly: "With this photo, Grandpa Cigarette Butt never scolded me again when he found it at home."
Ana Shen followed with a smile, looking away from the phone.
He picked up the tea beside him and took a sip.
The lips half covered by the glass concealed the emotions.
“It really seems like it.”
He murmured softly, so quietly that only he could hear it.
Xue Ning didn't hear clearly: "What?"
“Nothing, does my sister have any other photos?” Shen Yinan asked in a low voice, his eyes bright with anticipation.
"I don't have any photos of men on my phone. You'll have to ask Lu Zhi for them." Xue Ning took out his phone and looked for him. "Let me see where he went. He just said he was coming."
She dialed the number, but there was no answer.
Lu Zhi didn't arrive until almost dinner time.
Following behind was Chi Xingyao.
"Why are you here together?" Xue Ning circled around the two of them.
"Don't mention it..." Chi Xingyao slumped down on the sofa, pointed at Lu Zhi and said, "Do you still remember that guy named Yan Du from last time?"
After beating someone up last time, other people who had been cheated came to report the case one after another. As one of the people who had been cheated, Lu Zhi had to go and testify.
When I went there, I saw Nie Zaixi sitting aside, his face pale and tearful, telling the investigators that he was innocent and had been deceived by Du Yan.
Of course, Du Yan didn't think it was her fault. She insisted that Nie was the pimp, and both of them were detained.
When Lu Zhi went there, Du Yan was confessing his experience of deceiving Lu Zhi. He had made up a lot of things to mitigate his crime. Lu Zhi was so angry that he grabbed his collar and punched him. He was then locked up in the next room and had to ask someone to pick him up.
"You think I want to?" Lu Zhi's face was sour. "He was at the police station, twisting right and wrong, saying that I had someone chop off his fingers! I didn't chop them off at all! I just crippled his lower body!"
Chi Xingyao was too lazy to listen to his nagging. She had already sent the person there and was anxious to leave for fear of running into Xue Huaizhi and Qi Yuying. Han Yu chased after her and sent her off.
Looking at the backs of the two, Xue Ning retracted his gaze and looked at his brother with disdain: "You are too undisguised."
"I don't want to either, sister. You even blamed me...you disappeared so quickly last time and you didn't help me." Lu Zhi was very sad, his eyebrows drooping in grievance.
Xue Ning smiled softly: "Then how do you think he lost his finger?"
Lu Zhi's eyes widened, deeply moved: "Sister, you are so good to me...will no one know?"
"I just gave his information to those who were deceived and said a few words to them. Do you think I'm as stupid as you?" Xue Ning was too lazy to pay attention to him. She smiled and looked at Shen Yinan who was worried beside her, "Yinan, you will keep this matter a secret from your sister, right?"
Shen Yinan, who had been daydreaming, uttered "Ah" and looked at the two of them in a daze.
Xue Ning only then remembered what he had promised him. He reached out to Lu Zhi and said, "Do you still have the photo of Xue Du when he dyed his hair white? Show it to me."
"Yes, yes!" Lu Zhi immediately sat down and flipped through his phone when he heard he was going to see his brother. "Sister-in-law, let me tell you, my brother was so handsome back then. There were girls confessing their love to him every day. It was so prestigious to be with him!"
Shen Yinan sat next to him and found that he actually had an album called [My Handsome Brother], which was full of photos of Xue Du.
Xue Ning rubbed his arms, feeling a chill: "What a disgusting Gebao man."
She lowered her head and called to the puppy, "KK, let's go. Don't get infected. This is disgusting..."
Bored, she took the dog to the kitchen.
Xue Du was adding seasoning to the lotus root and pork ribs soup and stirred the pot. "Where's Yinan?"
"Oh, he said he wanted to see the photos of you when you dyed your hair white, and he and Lu Zhi are looking for them."
Xue Ning said casually, and came over to find a bowl to drink the soup.
But Xue Du stood there, looking at her motionlessly, his tone heavy, "Did you show him the photos of me from that time?"
Xue Ning paused and suddenly reacted.
At that time...wasn't it the time when Xue Du followed Old Man Gu to that village?
Last time, Xue Du said that she didn’t want Shen Yinan to know now, but she showed the photo directly to others.
When Xue Ning thought about the conversation just now, his face almost wrinkled.
Damn it, she wasn't Lu Zhi, how could she remember what time this person was and what style he had? To be honest, she couldn't even remember when Xue Du's birthday was, and had to rely on Xue Huaizhi to remind him every year.
She felt a little guilty for once: "He was only a few years old at that time, he probably can't remember it."
"It would be best."
Xue Du started to walk out. Just as Xue Ning was about to follow him, he turned back and said, "Watch the soup carefully. Make sure it doesn't get too mushy. He loves it."
Xue Ning said "Oh", poured himself a big bowl, found a spoon, and drank it happily.
Here, Xue Du walked out quickly, only to see Lu Zhi still frantically searching through his old photos.
In order to show off his face in front of his sister-in-law, his brother took so many photos in the past few years that it was extremely difficult to find them.
Xue Du looked over, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Where's Yinan?"
"I just took a call and went out."
Xue Du's heart was in suspense again after he just returned home: "Who's calling?"
"It seems his last name is Gu..."
Before he could finish his words, Xue Du started to chase after him.
