i'm not a bad man

Chapter 419 Her Flame
Just when I thought Lu Xi and Qiao Jiao would disappear from my sight, there was a burst of brilliant light from their side. I focused my attention and saw Qiao Jiao holding a fireworks stick in her hand. , that burst of light came from this fireworks stick. Lu Xi seemed to want it, but she wanted to tease her. While dodging, she raised the fireworks stick high, so the two of them played in the endless snow. stand up……

Although I didn't know where Qiao Jiao's fireworks stick came from, I understood that this was the original relationship between them. I didn't bother, I just lit a cigarette and stood in the snow and watched silently, but in my heart The edge of satisfaction and pain hovers hard...

Because both of them have a foundation in dance, even playing around seems like dancing... This must be the most beautiful scene I have ever seen in my life, better than any beautiful scenery I encounter on the road, so this is the reason why I am satisfied, and The pain is also very real. If I hadn't appeared in their world rashly, maybe their friendship wouldn't have faced so many helpless choices, and they would have continued their current happiness...

……

In a daze, my phone suddenly rang. I rarely receive calls from others on New Year's Eve, so the moment I took the phone out of my pocket, I hesitated and thought, Who on earth could make this call to me so close to midnight?
I thought it was Zhao Yingrou, but after I turned the phone screen, it was Zuo Xiaowei...

Everything seems to have changed, but nothing seems to have changed, because in the past two years, Zuo Xiaowei always calls me near twelve o'clock.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, and then I separated my emotions from Qiao Jiao and Lu Xi, and then answered Zuo Xiaowei's call. I didn't speak first, because after Zuo Xiaowei and I broke up, I don’t know what emotion I should use to face her. I usually follow her emotions. When she complains about me, I stay silent. When she cares about me, I feel guilty. If she just says a normal thing, I Only then can he face her with a normal attitude.

After a period of silence, she finally asked: "Did you watch the Spring Festival Gala?"

"Look, you performed well."

"This opportunity was given to me by Lu Xi... She called Sister Ran and asked me if I would like to come back to participate in the Spring Festival Gala."

"I know."

"For people in the entertainment industry, this is a good opportunity, so I am very grateful to her... However... because of this incident, she seems to have had a big conflict with Qin Minhong. I heard, She has firmly expressed to Qin Minhong that she wants to withdraw from this circle... I think she should have talked to you about this matter... but she must not have told you the price of withdrawing from this circle... because she carries several international brands. The longest contract is ten years. If she forcibly quits now and fails to fulfill these contracts, she will face huge compensation. These compensations are likely to make her hard work over the years come to naught. I mean financially... I don’t know what her mentality is, but for anyone, going from luxury to frugality is a very painful thing, right?”

After being silent, I replied: "I can think of all these, and I know you are kindly reminding me... But for a person who is determined to change his lifestyle, this may not be unacceptable... It's like It was just like when I chose to travel across the country in an RV. Before that, I must have been unable to endure my old life."

"Is it really painful to be a star?"

This time, I was really confused by Zuo Xiaowei, because for a long time when we knew each other, she was also excluded from entering the industry. Now she followed the trend and entered the industry, but she saw something in Lu Xi. There is a sense of crisis, but I don’t know how to give her an answer, because there is no standard answer to this kind of thing. After all, people’s pursuits are different. Some people naturally like to stand under the flashing lights, while others do not. A peaceful and undisturbed life.

"You don't have to answer me, I know that everything still depends on myself... Maybe, I am not as painful as Lu Xi, because I quite enjoy the praises and material improvements now... Lu Xi and I are not the same kind of people. , even if she doesn't become a star anymore, she still has a family that can support her, and I'm just an ordinary person from a small town, and I need this job."

"Ah."

After a short silence, Zuo Xiaowei said to me again: "I sang the song you wrote...Although the style of the song is very cheerful, when I sang, I still felt a feeling of tension and helplessness...If , if I guess correctly, this song should have been written during the most difficult time in your life... You have always been like this, always like to use some means to hide your true emotions..."

"Yes, this song was written at that time. Not only this song, but most of it was written at that time."

"Well...it doesn't matter, the pain has left you anyway...Now, you are a celebrity in the small town. The aborigines in the scenic area are very grateful to you. They plan to record your deeds and erect a monument to your success." At the entrance of the scenic spot..."

"Monument of merit and virtue?" I laughed and said, "I'm still alive and well, so why should I get a monument of merit and virtue?!"

"The monument of merit is aimed at living people, but very few people have such qualifications to let a place or scenic spot erect a monument of merit, so it is normal for you to think wrong." I was stunned, and then I felt like a dream. ... I thought that I had been wandering around for the past four years, living on the edge of society. I didn't expect that after I went to a small town, I would suddenly transform into a person who was about to have a monument of merit.

At this time, Zuo Xiaowei said again: "Time can really make people let go of many things, and I am also relieved. I no longer regret that I brought you to the small town, and I am even a little proud...because it was me who brought you a piece of shining gold with my own hands." You brought it here and benefited so many people... You are probably the only one who did this not for money. The villagers are not stupid, so they care about your kindness so much."

"Now that I think about it, it's a bit of a mistake!"

"But you must also remember that a big tree attracts the wind... When you can leave, leave as soon as possible and don't get stuck in the small town... Your abilities are worthy of a bigger stage."

On such a night, Zuo Xiaowei finally gave me this obvious reminder, and I couldn't help but have mixed feelings in my heart. (Sister Jiao wants to marry that doctor? Search and follow the author’s personal satellite account number: *** to view the latest chapters.)
"Happy New Year...Han Chao."

When Zuo Xiaowei said this to me, I subconsciously looked down at the time on my phone. It was almost past twelve o'clock, and the bell tower of the shopping mall in the distance also rang the New Year's bell at this time. The city that had fallen into silence suddenly started to boil again... Although Tianjin is a city that restricts the setting off of fireworks, there will always be unruly people in such a big city, so I vaguely saw a flash of light in the distance. , not long after, the sounds came one after another, and the exploding sound seemed to revive everything...

The new year is here. In the past, Zuo Xiaowei would always call me on time at this time.

I finally said to Zuo Xiaowei: "Happy New Year!"

"Ah."

Zuo Xiaowei responded and hung up the phone. In the past, we would definitely chat for a while, so everything seems to have not changed, but it has really changed. In this world, people never stand still. For people, in my opinion, movement and change are the meaning and charm of life.

……

I stood there for a while and then looked up. Lu Xi was gone. Only Qiao Jiao was slowly walking towards me. When she stood in front of me, she also looked restrained...

I couldn't help but think of our agreement, which said that after meeting, she would jump on me and hug me cross-legged.

Qiao Jiao's restraint made me a little reluctant to let go; at this moment, she suddenly said to me: "I miss you..."

"……I also……"

Before I finished speaking, Qiao Jiao hooked her arms around my neck, jumped hard, and then really hugged me cross-legged...

Feeling her weight, I suddenly realized that all the restraint was probably to show my true self more passionately at this moment.

Qiao Jiao is Qiao Jiao. No gust of wind can blow away her enthusiasm, and no snow can extinguish the fire in her heart.
