Chapter 372: The Needle
In this world, people always subconsciously choose the words that are most beneficial to themselves.
I am not competing with my good brother, but with the outsider who interfered!
Thinking of this, the guilt and uneasiness in my heart seemed to be alleviated a lot.
Of course, this kind of self-deception was only temporary self-consolation. When he actually met Chen Baiyang who came to record on TV, he couldn't help but subconsciously choose to avoid him.
His emotions were more complicated than before, but no matter who it was, they all thought that he and Chen Boyang had just had a quarrel in the heat of the moment, and neither of them was too embarrassed to apologize, so this situation of ignoring each other resulted.
The media were quite enthusiastic about this. Instead of writing stories about a "battle between two kings", they started to make up stories and created a so-called "battle between red and purple".
Because of these reports, fans who were unaware of the truth changed their previous atmosphere of mutual help and friendship and began to confront each other. This can be said to be another real example of "the boat of friendship capsized at any time."
Affected by the situation outside, Su Yun and many others approached them to try to persuade them, but unfortunately, both of them seemed too embarrassed to do so and just wanted to wait for the other party to take the initiative to show goodwill.
Ignoring these two arrogant people, Su Yun finished watching Chen Baiyang's new song and finally gave him a word of advice: "Don't be too stubborn. Many times, feelings are wasted like this."
Chen Boyang sighed with some embarrassment and helplessness: "Of course I understand, but..."
"Don't worry anymore. Have a good rest. Let's make an appointment tomorrow for us friends to go out for tea together." Su Yun looked at the marks under his eyes, and then thought about the several new songs he had obtained. She immediately realized that this guy had stayed up late or even all night to write music.
Although for night owls like them, the night does provide a more creative atmosphere, but he was already in a bad mood, and if he continued like this, something might happen.
Sure enough, that night when I was working at the desk and enjoying the fruit feeding service of "Yao Fei", a phone call suddenly came.
"Hello, I am...what? Danny is in the hospital?!" Upon hearing this, Su Yun frowned immediately.
Seeing Su Yun's expression, Zhuang Long lowered his eyes, quietly put down the fruit pulp on the bamboo skewer in his hand, and listened quietly.
"Well, OK, I'll go visit him in a bit." After Su Yun finished the call, he glanced at Zhuang Long who was sitting quietly beside him and explained, "Danny has a sudden illness and is in the hospital. I'll go check on him and discuss the follow-up arrangements."
It looked like a notification, but there was clearly a hint of softness in her words - this was probably her biggest concession.
Knowing Su Yun's personality, Zhuang Long could only sigh inwardly, and then tried to act generously: "I understand."
Not to mention that I still have "no name and no status", even if I had "name and status", if someone I know suddenly fell ill and was admitted to the hospital, I would not be able to show my jealousy casually.
What's more, Chen Baiyang had a legitimate reason for adjusting his work arrangements.
Instead of being stubborn, it is better to let go and try to create a generous and decent impression.
"Be good, I'll be back soon." Su Yun kissed him on the cheek and went out with her handbag.
When they arrived at the hospital, Chen Boyang had already woken up. Su Yun signaled Zhang Querong, who had hurried over, and asked him to stay in the ward to take care of him, and then asked the doctor about his current condition.
"The patient was overworked during this period. He relaxed all of a sudden but continued to work hard day and night. So after the accumulation reached a critical point, it broke out." The doctor simply explained the situation to Su Yun, saying that Chen Boyang was too tired and therefore developed acute hepatitis. If he paid attention to rest and care, there would be no big problem.
"I told you a long time ago, but you just didn't believe it!" Su Yun rolled her eyes at Chen Boyang, who lowered his head with a look of knowing he was wrong. "It will be in the newspapers again tomorrow. Maybe the headlines for the next week will all be about your illness!"
"I'll take care of it..." Chen Boyang said in a whisper.
"You are in such a state, what else can you do? When you are discharged from the hospital, find a place to hide for a while, so that you won't be accused of having a terminal illness and being chased after every day." In the eyes of some media people in Hong Kong, once an artist is admitted to the hospital, it means that he or she has a serious terminal illness and will not have much time left...
"That's perfect. I just moved to a new house. You can live here. I guarantee the paparazzi won't know!" Zhang Querong said carelessly.
"You're moving to a new house again?" Not only Su Yun, but even Chen Boyang was a little speechless. "With the intensity of your work now, you may not be able to go back and stay for a night in a week, okay?"
"It is because I may not be able to stay here for a whole night in a week that I have to make the house beautiful and comfortable. Otherwise, how can I have the motivation to earn money to bring home?" Among the necessities of life, Zhang Querong has always been most concerned about food and housing. When he was unsuccessful in his years, he was willing to spend most of his salary on renting a house to improve his living environment, not to mention now that his popularity has risen sharply and he has more money.
Seeing how confidently he spoke, Su Yun and Chen Boyang really couldn't think of any words to refute him.
"Will it disturb you?" Chen Boyang thought for a moment and asked worriedly.
"Mary just said that I may not be able to stay there for a night in a week, so why bother me!" Zhang Querong waved his hands, "Besides, I'm not letting you stay here for free - of course I won't charge you rent, you're my good brother!"
"It's because I just moved in not long ago and I don't have much time to go back, so it looks roughly habitable, but a lot of the things I moved from the old house are still piled up, and I haven't had time to put them away properly..." Zhang Querong looked very impolite when he said this, "I don't want ordinary people to mess around with my things. I pursue the quality of my living environment..."
"So you want me to help you tidy up the design when I'm free during this time?" As expected of a good brother, Chen Boyang immediately understood what he meant.
"It's easy to get inspiration when doing art design. You have to stay in the house anyway, so just do it." Zhang Querong waved his hand.
That's what he said on the surface, but actually he had some selfish motives, which could not be told to outsiders: after Chen Boyang moved into his new rented house, he could help him with housework when he was free on weekdays, and when Su Yun was coming to visit Chen Boyang, he could also know and be "prepared".
This is a situation where they are young and single, and it is most likely that things like this will happen when they are alone.
Before, when he was making assists, he could only face people with a smile while bearing the pain in his heart; now that he has made up his mind to compete on the field, he has to be prepared in many ways, attacking and defending at the same time, so as to avoid being robbed by others while he is busy working!
Thinking of this, Zhang Querong couldn't help but in his heart spit on Zhuang Long who had sneaked up to the position.
This guy suddenly came to "visit the patient" with a fruit basket. He must have heard the news from Su Yun - maybe he was sticking around Su Yun at the time, or it was just a coincidence that he came over at the same time as Su Yun?
Zhang Querong, feeling that he had figured out the truth, instantly turned pale. If you didn't know, you would have thought that he looked worried because he was concerned about his good brother's illness.
For example, Chen Baiyang was very moved by his expression, thinking that he was really worried about him, so he shyly apologized to him for their previous quarrel.
Zhang Querong waved his hands and said, "Forget it. I was just angry at the time. We all have problems. Let's just let it go."
Chen Baiyang nodded with emotion, and after thinking for a while, he felt that Zhang Querong's suggestion of moving house was really good, so he followed Zhang Querong's actions, waving his hands and showing a helpless expression, "Well, who let me live in someone else's house, so naturally I have to work harder."
Zhuang Long listened to all this quietly, his eyes wandering playfully between the two good brothers who seemed to have a very good relationship.
But in the end, he just smiled silently and said nothing more.
After all, these two people will definitely not be together for long - it's also a pity that they just reconciled and have to go against each other again for other reasons.
No matter how simple a person is, once he encounters a love rival who has already started to make moves, no matter how well this love rival hides his true intentions, he can still turn into Sherlock Holmes and find clues; and no matter how smart a person is, once he is blinded by emotions, he will leave some flaws that will be discovered sooner or later.
Although it is a bit regrettable for this young couple known as the second generation of Hong Kong Gemini, who made them fall in love with their target?
In the love field, there is never sympathy or mercy.
Su Yun crunched the washed and peeled apples that Zhuang Long had taken out of the fruit basket, looking at this and then that: it seemed...she felt something different had changed.
But the relationship between these three people was quite superficial in the past. Every year when they came to her house to celebrate the New Year, they would smile on the surface, but they would fight to the death at the mahjong table. I don't know where such a deep hatred came from.
But on second thought, the situation of the three of them was normal: they were all not that far apart in age, with Zhuang Long being at most half a generation older.
However, the three of them did not grow up together, so young people with new-school thinking like Chen Boyang and Zhang Querong would definitely not like Zhuang Long, a half-elder who was born as a senior brother in an opera troupe and therefore pretended to be mature and prudent and whose style and behavior were indeed biased towards the traditional model.
Besides, Chen Boyang has always had a crush on her, and Zhuang Long has now broken through his own limitations and is with her. In addition, Chen and Zhang have always had a very good relationship, and Zhang Querong always assists his good brother... In this case, the fact that they can still maintain superficial peace is already a great favor to her.
Su Yun kept thinking in her heart, but she missed one point: Zhang Querong, who had always kept a distance from her for the sake of brotherhood, was now completely different.
Zhuang Long could see it, but he just smiled and said nothing - if he rashly said this, it would easily give Su Yun the impression that he was trying to sow discord. It would be better to wait for these so-called good brothers to turn against each other, and then he would come forward to persuade Su Yun... In this way, he could gain the greatest benefit from this change.
While Zhuang Long was waiting for the right moment to reap the benefits, Zhang Querong was also trying to think of the best solution, which would minimize the damage to the brothers' feelings while revealing his thoughts...
Come to think of it, even the naive Chen Po-yang has some thoughts: Zhuang Long is said to be going to the north for an audition soon, so if he lives in his good friend's house during this period, if Su Yun comes over sometimes, he can ask his good friend to help with assists and cover...
After he defeats all his enemies and successfully marries the beauty, he will definitely give a super huge red envelope to Lesley, his best brother, at the wedding!
