Five years ago, Lin Sui abandoned her boyfriend of seven years, Qin Chen, to marry the playboy Zhou Dang, all to pay for her father's medical treatment.
Five years later, Lin Sui nearly g...
After the filming was over, Gu Yuan invited everyone to dinner. Lin Sui sent a message to Qin Chen telling him that there was a dinner party in the evening, and Qin Chen replied that he understood.
Lin Sui sighed. She knew that Qin Chen's life was not easy now, but she really couldn't just refuse the dinner and go home to accompany him. As a worker, she had no choice.
Arriving at the Japanese restaurant, Qin Chen booked a small private room. Everyone sat on the floor. Lin Sui didn't know how she got there, but she happened to sit next to Gu Yuan. Xiao Tiantian sat on the other side of Gu Yuan, opposite Lin Sui, and glanced at her with a half-smile. Lin Sui avoided her gaze.
Everyone drank a little draft beer, and Gu Yuan ordered a lot of sashimi, including two bubbling sukiyaki pots. It was cold, and Lin Sui didn't want to eat anything cold, so she kept eating from the sukiyaki pot. Gu Yuan noticed this and asked for a smaller pot just for Lin Sui. The director and the assistant exchanged a teasing look.
"I didn't expect Boss Gu to be so caring towards his subordinates!"
Gu Yuan said it very naturally, "Of course, she is the company's screenwriter, the future hit maker. If I don't treat her well, who should I treat well?" This sentence blew away the ambiguous feeling.
Everyone started laughing, including Lin Sui.
Xiao Tiantian didn't eat much, but she kept taking selfies. Lin Sui noticed that Xiao Tiantian and Gu Yuan rarely interacted. Could they really be just ordinary colleagues? She didn't understand the circle of internet celebrities and didn't dare to make random guesses.
In order to liven up the dinner party, the director suggested playing Truth or Dare. Candy sneered and said it was old-fashioned, but she still participated.
The questions the director asked Xiao Tiantian were quite explosive.
"Having worked with so many influencers, who have you fallen for?"
Xiao Tiantian raised her eyes nonchalantly, glanced at Gu Yuan, and then smiled again, "Quite a lot, including Gu Yuan. When shooting this kind of video, the guys you meet are all handsome, so it's normal to be moved, right, Lin Sui?"
Lin Sui was enjoying his melon when suddenly a question was thrown at him. He got so anxious that he choked on his own saliva.
“Ahem…”
Everyone at the table burst into laughter, including Gu Yuan next to him, who also looked at Lin Sui with a smile.
"I... I... have never taken a photo before. I took one today and it looks pretty realistic." Lin Sui's honest answer made everyone laugh again.
When the dinner ended, it was almost ten o'clock. Lin Sui called a designated driver to drive her car. Gu Yuan stayed with her until the driver arrived before saying goodbye to her.
On the one hand, she felt that the boss was quite considerate, but on the other hand, she felt strange because Xiao Tiantian didn't leave either. After she left, only Gu Yuan and Xiao Tiantian were left.
It’s none of her business anyway. She’s just an employee, why should she think so much?
Zhou Dang returned to his villa tonight, staring blankly in the empty house. He had to admit, he was getting older, and after a few days of partying in bars, he felt very tired. He just wanted to return to his warm and bright home, where his wife and children were warm and cozy.
But the villa obviously didn't have what he wanted. He sighed, went out and drove to Xiaorou's place.
Xiaorou had been looking forward to seeing Zhou Dang for a long time and was so happy that she was incoherent. Zhou Dang looked at the table full of dishes and felt a warm feeling in his heart. He sat down and Xiaorou attentively served him rice, soup and other dishes. After a few days, Zhou Dang finally had delicious home-cooked meals.
With Xiaorou, he doesn't have to think about anything. After dinner, Xiaorou gave him a massage and washed his feet. After the whole process, Zhou Dang was so sleepy that he fell asleep on the bed.
Just before he fell asleep, he was still sighing in his heart: I wish Xiaorou was Lin Sui.
When Lin Sui got home, the lights were off. She thought Qin Chen was asleep, but she found out that Qin Chen was not there at all. She was very angry and immediately called Qin Chen.
"Hello." Qin Chen's voice sounded tired.
"Where are you?" Lin Sui's tone was not very good.
"I'm at home."
"You're lying! I'm at home! You weren't here at all!" Lin Sui paced back and forth angrily.
"I'm in my own home." Qin Chen sighed.
"Oh..." Lin Sui's arrogance disappeared. Oh, how could she forget that Qin Chen has his own home, and this small rental house is not his home.
"Then you should take a rest." Lin Sui's tone sounded a little aggrieved.
"Sui Sui, why don't you move in with me?" This was the second time Qin Chen made this suggestion.
Lin Sui thought for a while, "But I want to live on my own."
"Well, it's up to you. I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep." Qin Chen hung up the phone.
Lin Sui sat dejectedly on the sofa in the living room, feeling very upset. She knew that it was her fault that Qin Chen became like this, and she should move in and take good care of him. But she just felt unhappy. She liked living alone, liked this place, at least it was her own space.
No matter how good Qin Chen's house is, it is his, not hers, and she needs a sense of belonging.
She felt that the current situation was good. The two of them lived in their own houses, and when they missed each other, they would stay in each other's house for a night.
She knew that she seemed a little selfish, but she had always been like this, and she believed that Qin Chen understood it too.
After comforting himself, Lin Sui got up and went to take a shower.
Before going to bed, a rough cut of today's video was sent to the work group. Lin Sui sighed that post-production was really hard and quickly clicked to watch it.
It had to be said that the men were really handsome and the women were beautiful. Adding to his own script, Lin Sui felt that this video would definitely go viral. He even began to calculate how much commission he would get.
"One percent, if you make one million, I'll get ten thousand. If you make ten million, wouldn't that mean I'll get one hundred thousand?" Lin Sui was so excited that he could hardly sleep.
With this calculation, it is not that difficult to pay back Zhou Dang. There is still 7.5 million left now, and maybe I can pay it back a few years early.
She fell into a sweet dream. Lin Sui's strong insensitivity allowed her to adapt quickly to any situation, and she was extremely optimistic. She seemed to have endless energy. Her appearance could only be described as a little beauty among ordinary people. The reason why she was loved by both Zhou Dang and Qin Chen was probably because of the energy in her that attracted people.
After all, who doesn't love a little sun? But many people forget that while the sun is warm, it can burn you if you get too close.
Lin Sui was awakened by a knock on the door. She opened the door in a daze and saw Qin Chen standing at the door smiling at her and bringing her breakfast. Lin Sui suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar. She suddenly remembered that it was Zhou Dang who did this last time.
It's so strange. We haven't seen each other for just a few days, but it feels like years have passed.
"Eat quickly, and then I'll take you to work." Qin Chen pushed Lin Sui to sit at the dining table.
