Chapter 82 Don’t remember?

No matter how much Qi Nian didn't want to go out and face Chu Rongshi, today was New Year's Day and he couldn't get up too late. He could only slowly change into new clothes and go downstairs.

Ning Min prepared the new clothes, a red sweater and down jacket. Qi Nian seldom wore such bright colors, but he surprisingly suited red, like a little lamb wearing festive red clothes.

The little sheep carefully left the room, but before he could go downstairs, he saw Chu Rongshi.

The latter looked no different from usual, but also seemed a little different. Qi Nian avoided his gaze, trying to pretend not to see it.

"Niannian, Happy New Year." Chu Rongshi noticed Qi Nian's discomfort and his eyes flickered slightly.

Qi Nian coughed lightly, pretending that he had no memory of what happened yesterday, and said, "Happy New Year."

Then, he received the red envelope from Chu Rongshi.

Qi Nian touched the thick red envelope, was stunned, and opened his mouth stupidly: "Do I still have red envelopes?"

Chu Rongshi smiled and said, "Of course."

It was the first time Qi Nian received a red envelope. He looked at it curiously, and finally put it in his pocket happily: "Hey, thank you brother!"

No wonder the clothes his aunt bought for him had such a big pocket, turns out this is its function!

As Qi Nian was thinking, he suddenly heard Chu Rongshi say, "You were drunk yesterday. Do you remember what you did?"

Qi Nian's smile froze, and at this moment his head was already smoking like crazy.

He lowered his head and said vaguely: "Haha... I don't remember."

Chu Rongshi asked, "Really?"

Qi Nian nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, haha, didn't I just fall asleep yesterday?"

Chu Rongshi narrowed his narrow eyes slightly and sighed, "It seems that he really forgot. What a pity."

Qi Nian: There is nothing to regret, really!

But he still nodded in cooperation: "Yes, yes."

Chu Rongshi chuckled and suddenly took a step forward. The distance between the two of them was suddenly shortened, so close that they could almost hear each other's breathing.

When Qi Nian heard Chu Rongshi, he said, "But it doesn't matter. I can help Nian Nian recall..."

"No need!" Qi Nian took a step back quickly, his face flushed, his eyes wandering, his head lowered, and he said hastily: "I want to go downstairs to wish my uncle and aunt a happy new year!"

After saying this, he lowered his head like a frightened lamb with its fur standing on end, and it seemed as if only his fluttering little curly hair was left in the air.

Chu Rongshi smiled as he looked at his flustered back and chuckled, "Little liar."

The little liar had no idea that he had been exposed and ran downstairs in a hurry.

Chu Zhen looked at his flying curly hair and couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you in such a hurry so early in the morning? If you didn't know, you would think there was a wolf chasing you, haha."

Qi Nian: "..." Guess why I'm not laughing.

No matter what, the first day of the Lunar New Year is always a joyous occasion. Qi Nian greeted all his uncles and aunts one by one, and not surprisingly received two big red envelopes.

Because the red envelopes were too thick, Qi Nian's pockets were bulging with money. He was about to put the red envelopes back into the room when he saw his uncle and aunt giving red envelopes to his eldest brother again.

Qi Nian paused and sat back on the sofa, hehe, he decided to stay and watch the fun.

Chu Rongshi looked at the red envelope in his hand and paused: "I don't need it."

Ning Min said meaningfully: "Why not? According to the rules of our family, you must have it before getting married, so keep it well."

Qi Nian: Haha.

Chu Rongshi seemed to realize something, and looked at Qi Nian, who had not yet had time to stop smiling, with a half-smile.

Everyone thought: "..."

Then, Chu Rongshi readily put the red envelope in his hand and said, "Niannian, keep it for me."

Qi Nian…felt that the two red envelopes were very hot, and he declined: “Isn’t this too bad? They are given to you by your uncle and aunt.”

Moreover, this feeling really is like receiving a red envelope and handing it over to the recipient for safekeeping!

Pah! Who are you? Qi Nian's face was getting redder and redder.

Ning Min glanced at Qi Nian and said with a smile, "Just accept it if your brother gives it to you. The red envelope is for good luck, there's no need to be so particular."

Qi Nian: "Okay."

He had no choice but to grunt and carry the two more red envelopes back to the room.

When these people stuffed the red envelopes, they really tried hard to put more money in them. Qi Nian seriously suspected that they put so much money in the red envelopes not because they wanted to, but because the red envelopes could only hold so much.

——

During the New Year holidays, Qi Nian received so many red envelopes that his hands were tied. Chu Tianyan was abroad and couldn't come back, so she sent him a red envelope from a distance.

On the afternoon of the first day of the new year, Chu Tianheng came back and the first thing he did was to give him a red envelope. He also took the opportunity to rub Qi Nian's curly hair and said with satisfaction: "Take it and buy some candy."

Qi Nian looked resentful.

In addition, Chu Xiangfeng and Yu Xiangming, Zhang Rourou, Chu Qian and several friends all sent red envelopes for various reasons.

It’s okay for Sister Xiang Feng and the others, as they are elders. But Zhang Rourou and the others are a bit outrageous. Although they are indeed a few years older than him, there is no need to give them red envelopes, right?

Qi Nian looked at the various strange reasons they sent in silence.

Except for the first day of the Lunar New Year, we are not so free in the following days as we have to visit relatives everywhere.

Until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, they were still visiting relatives. Qi Nian whispered to Chu Tianheng: "Second brother, why didn't I know that we have so many relatives before?"

"I usually don't think there are so many people here." Chu Tianheng put his hands in his pockets and seemed to be in a good mood.

Qi Nian looked at Chu Tianheng suspiciously, frowning in confusion: "You looked impatient yesterday, why do you look so happy today?"

It's no wonder Chu Tianheng was impatient. When they went to visit relatives, Qi Nian was okay. After all, he was still at school age and was asked a few questions about his grades at most.

But Chu Tianheng and Chu Rongshi are different. They have to face the questions that relatives like to ask the most: "How old are you this year?" "Do you have a partner?" "When are you going to get married?"

Although Chu Rongshi usually has a cold face and is feared by everyone, his relatives are not afraid of him. They can still withstand the pressure of his face and continue to ask questions.

Not to mention Chu Tianheng, who always has a look of despair on his face every day.

Under such circumstances, it was a bit strange that he suddenly acted so happy.

Chu Tianheng's mouth curled up wildly, and it can be seen that he was really happy: "Oh, it's nothing. After all, we are working people in society, so it's time to go back to work."

Everyone thought: "!!!"

His eyes were filled with envy, jealousy and all kinds of unspeakable emotions.

Fortunately, there is Chu Rongshi. Qi Nian secretly ran over and complained to Chu Rongshi angrily: "Brother, the second brother wants to betray us and sneak away to work!"

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he looked up and saw Chu Rongshi looking guilty.

Qi Nian's body was swaying, "? You're going to work too?"

Chu Rongshi: "Not really. I need to meet some partners."

Everyone thought: "..."

Then when the time comes and they ask all kinds of questions, wouldn't he be the only one left?

Qi Nian complained sadly: "How could you do this!"

Chu Rongshi suggested: "Then you come with me tomorrow."

Qi Nian turned indifferent in an instant: "Forget it."

Chu Rongshi lowered his eyes and pinched his cheek with his slender fingers: "Still want to hide from me?"

"I didn't, why would I hide from you?" Qi Nian tried hard to put on a puzzled expression to show that he knew nothing.

Seeing Chu Rongshi wanted to say something, he immediately waved away the other's hand and left quickly.

Humph, his elder brother has opened up his mind, so he can also ask his second brother for help!

Then, Chu Tianheng saw his pitiful brother: "Second brother, take me with you tomorrow."

Chu Tianheng looked at Qi Nian with a smile on his face: "What did you say? My shoulder hurts a little, I can't hear you clearly."

Everyone thought: "..."

Damn!

But he could only walk behind Chu Tianheng in a very servile manner, pinch his shoulders, and ask carefully: "Second brother, how is the strength?"

"The force is a little light, harder... yes, yes, further to the left, right here." Chu Tianheng happily enjoyed his brother's service.

However, he still knew when to stop. Seeing that Qi Nian was about to get angry, he finally said slowly, "Okay, pack your luggage and leave early tomorrow morning."

Qi Nian was very excited: "Thank you, second brother!"

After leaving Chu Tianheng's room happily, Qi Nian bumped into Chu Rongshi again. He raised his head slightly and asked, "What are you doing?"

Chu Rongshi: "I just heard from my mother that we are going to my third aunt's house tomorrow."

Everyone thought: “?”

Chu Rongshi explained: "Third Aunt likes to care about the younger generation more, and can talk about it all day long."

In order to get Qi Nian to go with him tomorrow, it was not easy for Chu Rongshi. He, who was always serious and solemn, actually "spoke bad words" behind someone's back for the first time.

But it was obvious that this was his first time doing this and he looked a little uncomfortable.

After he finished speaking, Qi Nian didn't react at all, and just said "Oh" calmly.

Chu Rongshi looked puzzled.

Qi Nian snorted: "Do you think the massage I gave to my second brother just now was for nothing? He promised to take me with him tomorrow, so don't worry, brother."

Chu Rongshi: “…”

Qi Nian floated away happily, not noticing that Chu Rongshi might be in a bad mood.

At night, Qi Nian heard Chu Tianheng's screams downstairs again. He was startled, thinking that his second brother was in danger. He quickly leaned on the window to look down, and found Chu Rongshi standing next to him.

Everyone thought: “???”

Chu Tianheng's angry voice came from downstairs: "Brother, are you crazy?"

Chu Rongshi: "I heard that you haven't been feeling well lately. It seems that you really lack exercise. I'll take you to practice properly."

Chu Tianheng: "When did I say I was not feeling well?"

Qi Nian's eyes widened, and he quickly retracted his head, feeling extremely guilty and saying sorry to Chu Tianheng in his heart.

Uh… When his second brother asked him to massage his shoulders, he probably thought that this day would come. Although he knew he shouldn’t do that, he still couldn’t help wanting to laugh. Why?

The next morning, Qi Nian saw Chu Tianheng with a sour face.

Qi Nian asked cautiously, "Second brother, are you okay?"

Chu Tianheng put on his sunglasses and said with a fake smile: "I'm fine."

Thanks to Chu Rongshi, he doesn't need a bodyguard at all now, and his fighting power has increased dramatically.

Seeing that Chu Tianheng was in a bad mood, Qi Nian immediately shut up, closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

The car wobbled to the destination. Qi Nian opened his eyes and saw Song Xiao Ming. He woke up immediately.

When he came to his senses, he remembered that he had not had time to ask Chu Tianheng what program he was going to record today.

Chu Tianheng yawned and said the name of the show.

Qi Nian then realized that this was the variety show that his brother and Song Xiao Ming recorded together.

No wonder Song Xiao Ming is here.

Just as he was thinking, he saw Song Xiaoming coming to Chu Tianheng's RV. Qi Nian turned his head and glanced at Chu Tianheng. Seeing that he was quiet, he whispered to Song Xiaoming, "My second brother is sleeping."

The implication is: Go away!

Song Xiaoming glanced at Chu Tianheng and whispered, "Thank you for the reminder. I'll bring you breakfast."

After he finished speaking, he saw the staff behind him bringing breakfast.

After delivering the breakfast, Song Xiaoming said, "Then I won't bother you for now."

After saying this, he left.

Qi Nian took a look at the breakfast sent by the other party. It was very thoughtful. In addition to the ordinary breakfast, there was also a fat-reducing meal specially sent to Chu Tianheng.

That's right, you have to eat fat-reduced food for breakfast. Qi Nian took a bite of the big, fragrant bun and felt that being a star was not easy.

As for Song Xiao Ming, Qi Nian has complicated feelings towards him. Although he is nice and even comes to deliver breakfast, but... he covets my second brother!

Fortunately, perhaps to avoid suspicion, Song Xiaoming behaved very politely in front of others and treated Chu Tianheng no differently from ordinary friends.

For example, when delivering breakfast, in order to prevent others from noticing anything, Song Xiao Ming gave breakfast to every star.

After Qi Nian knew this, he didn't know what to say.

As for his second brother's attitude towards Song Xiao Ming, well... according to Qi Nian's observation, it seems that there is really no difference between him and ordinary friends.

Ah, it can be considered an upgrade. After all, his second brother used to dislike Song Xiaoming.

All in all, Song Xiao Ming is in a pretty miserable state right now.

Qi Nian was just summing up when he heard an excited voice: "Qi Nian! Is it really you? I almost thought I was seeing things."

Hearing this voice, Qi Nian turned around and saw that it was indeed Zhou Jing.

After not seeing each other for a while, Zhou Jing has changed a lot. Maybe this is what people say, the popularity of the entertainment industry is nourishing.

Zhou Jing used to be good-looking, and now he looks even better, but his personality is still as silly as before.

Zhou Jing was obviously very happy when he saw Qi Nian. He sat next to Qi Nian happily and said, "When I received the invitation to this program, I was wondering if I would meet you. I didn't expect to meet you in person!"

Zhou Jing is now in the rising stage of his career and has gained some fame. In addition, his mother is a well-known director, so he is quite favored by the agency. So this time when he came to record the program, his agent also followed him.

Oh, Zhou Jing is no longer the agent he used to be. There is nothing much to say about this, after all, it is normal to change agents in the entertainment industry.

Originally, when the agent heard Zhou Jing say that there might be friends of his here, he was a little worried. After all, Zhou Jing didn't have much brains, and it would be bad if he got cheated.

It turned out that the other party was Chu Tianheng's younger brother, and the agent was instantly relieved. After all, he was not from an insider circle, and his family was not ordinary. At least it could be seen that he had no intention of doing anything against Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing had no idea about the agent's psychological activities. He glanced at the agent who had been following him and said speechlessly, "Brother Liu, you don't have to follow me all the time, right? You can't even whisper to my friends."

The agent didn't want to follow him all the time. Wouldn't he be tired? Seeing that he was in the program crew, there shouldn't be anything to do, so he left.

Before leaving, he said, "If you need anything, feel free to call me. I'm nearby."

Zhou Jing waved his hands impatiently: "I know, I know."

After he left, Zhou Jing immediately said excitedly: "Hey, he finally left. He followed me around every day, making me feel like I was being watched by the dean of studies."

Qi Nian is now very good at comforting people: "It shows that your company values ​​you very much."

Zhou Jing was very pleased: "You are still so good at speaking."

Qi Nian: "...You are also a guest on this show? I haven't seen you before."

After all, it is his second elder brother's show, so Qi Nian will still watch it, but he often skips and still hasn't figured out who the guests are this season.

Zhou Jing said frankly: "I am not qualified to be a resident guest yet. I am just a flying guest for this episode."

Qi Nian: "It's already good. People who came out at the same time as you don't seem to be very active now."

"In fact, it's not because of me, it's mainly because of my mom." Zhou Jing said very honestly: "Apart from anything else, the invitation to this program is mostly because of my mom's face. No wonder there are so many second-generation stars who rely on the empires built by their parents. I can directly realize my dream of retiring in the entertainment industry in my twenties."

However, although Zhou Jing complained like this, he still worked very hard. At least judging from the level he performed when he debuted, his ability was worthy of a debut position.

But after all, he benefited from his mother's influence. Since his debut, Zhou Jing has been criticized for being a royal family and relying on his famous director mother.

Zhou Jing has already calmed down: "I think what they said is right, but my mother now regrets sending me to the entertainment industry. She said that I have ruined her reputation."

Qi Nian's mouth twitched slightly: Uh... my mother is really so rude when she complains.

In fact, it is no wonder that Director Zhu Yan, Zhou Jing's mother, said so. Back then, the era when Director Zhu Yan lived was an era of war between gods.

Zhou Jing's current level is just average among idols, and is totally not in the eyes of director Zhu Yan.

But Zhou Jing still has a shining advantage - no matter how he is criticized, he never takes it to heart. Sometimes when he talks to Qinian about how his mother criticized him, he always has a cheerful attitude.

All in all, the key is to have a good attitude.

Qi Nian was just about to praise Zhou Jing for this strength when he saw him holding a cell phone, his fingers flying, typing with gritted teeth. If you didn't know better, you would think the person on the other end of the phone was his enemy.

This state continued for a while, Qi Nian couldn't help it, and asked cautiously and curiously: "What are you doing?"

Zhou Jing snorted and said with a sly look: "I'm fighting against the haters! These haters are so annoying, they will meow if I don't scold them!"

Everyone thought: "..."

Afraid that Qi might have misread it and thought he was being stingy, he quickly explained while typing, "Saying that my dancing sounds like electric shocks and my singing voice sounds like Donald Duck is fine. But making up these rumors and scolding my family members is a bit too much!"

Qi Nian frowned upon hearing this: "That's really too much!"

Zhou Jing noticed Qi Nian's reaction, as if he had a supporter, and immediately started to talk excitedly: "Is that so? I also think it's too much, but my agent told me that I'll just get used to it, and said something else, as long as I don't watch it, it'll be fine. I think his idea is wrong, and it's a typical escape intention. If I don't watch it, will these people not scold my family? What else did he say? Oh, he said that it's inevitable for public figures to encounter such things, and he also cited the example of a certain movie emperor, and someone also scolded him. Anyway, I sneer at what he said!"

Although what Zhou Jing said is a bit problematic, why should the person being scolded get used to being scolded? But we have to admit that this is the reality. Some people will become extremely rampant when they are separated by an Internet cable. It is not necessarily true that there are more powerful people in real life. After all, how can powerful people in real life be so bored that they go online to scold others?

Qi Nian couldn't say "just get used to it", so he could only advise Zhou Jing: "Don't be too angry."

Who knew Zhou Jing would say, "Haha, I'm not angry at all. I feel full of energy now. I'm going to scold this bastard until he bleeds blood."

"Okay... just don't get angry." Qi Nian suddenly thought of something and asked quickly, "You are using a small account, right?"

Zhou Jing looked at Qi Nian strangely and said speechlessly, "Of course, I'm not stupid. I'm not stupid enough to scold him."

Qi Nian was embarrassed to admit that he did have such doubts just now. He touched his nose and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good."

The recording of the program would take several days. That night, Qi Nian stayed in a hotel arranged by the program crew and shared a suite with Chu Tianheng.

Late in the night, a hurried phone call rang. Qi Nian answered the call in a daze. Zhou Jing's agent, Brother Liu, said anxiously, "Qinian, you finally answered the phone. Zhou Jing is missing. Is he with you?"

Qi Nian came to his senses and said while putting on his clothes, "No."

After leaving the hotel suite, we found that there was chaos outside. Not only Brother Liu, but everyone in the program crew looked particularly anxious.

After all, the person cannot be found now. It would be fine if nothing happens. But if something happens, they cannot escape responsibility!

Qi Nian quickly dialed the phone: "I'll call him and ask."

Brother Liu was so anxious that he wanted to curse his mother. Hearing this, he hid on the ground with a gloomy face. His face was very dark. He said, "It's useless. I called dozens of times, but no one answered!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a beep and the call Qi Nian made was connected.

Brother Liu: "..." So he deliberately didn't answer the phone, right? But since he answered the phone, it means he's fine. This made him feel relieved.

Zhou Jing's voice came from the phone. He deliberately lowered his voice, so it sounded sneaky: "Qinian? Is there something going on so late at night? If it's nothing urgent, then forget it. I have something important to deal with here."

Qi Nian felt that something was wrong with him, and what could possibly happen at this time of night? He followed Liu Ge's signal and asked calmly, "Where are you? Why didn't I see you in your room? Where are you now?"

Zhou Jing looked really anxious, and said quickly: "Oh, I made an appointment with the hater who cursed my whole family today to meet at the park. Haha, wait and see how I deal with him! I won't tell you anything now, the people are coming up, hang up!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Qi Nian: "..." It's better to use a big account to fight against people! Is it okay to go to the haters in person?

Brother Liu was relieved to see that nothing happened: "Ah, just a fight? It's okay, let's go over there quickly and don't make things worse."

Qi Nian looked a little sympathetic towards Brother Liu. He thought it was not a big deal. He had been tortured by Zhou Jing before. When he dug up some gossip, he could not suppress his desire to complain: [The fans on the other side are not ordinary black fans. They are sent by the rivals! ]

[The opponent somehow found out Zhou Jing's smurf account, and then deliberately attacked Zhou Jing's family online, and then tried to provoke Zhou Jing to achieve the purpose of a fight. ]

[It seems that the other party really understands Zhou Jing's character, but his method is too disgusting. Reporters have been waiting at the place where the fight was scheduled, ready to report the big news of "Zhou Jing's night meeting with a beautiful woman" at any time. By then, even if Zhou Jing's career is not destroyed, it will be severely damaged! ]

[Oh, the other party originally wanted to be the spokesperson for a certain brand, and now his only competitor is Zhou Jing. If he destroys Zhou Jing, the spokesperson will naturally be his.]

Brother Liu almost fainted after hearing this: "Fuck! Go and catch him!"
