Qin Nan arranged to go on vacation during the Spring Festival this year. Before leaving on the evening of the 29th, he specially called Qin Jie to come to his house for a lunch.
Qin Nan took out her treasured wine and asked Qin Zie to have a drink with her, and then... both of them became a little drunk.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that Qin Jie left her aunt's house because she couldn't hold back her drunkenness.
Qin Jie's parents were out of town recently, and Qin Nan felt sorry for Qin Jie who stayed alone in Beijing during the Spring Festival. Before Qin Jie left, Qin Nan pulled him and asked him again, "You really don't want to celebrate the New Year with us? If you're fine, just
You can fly with me and your uncle. The place we chose this year is great. We rented a single-family villa. No one will disturb us. It is very clean. There is also a dedicated chef and housekeeper..."
Qin Zie, who just wanted to stay at home and take a nap during the holidays, said half-jokingly, "What? Do you really like me to watch you old husband and wife showing off their affection?"
"What an old couple? I'm still young!" Qin Nan was unhappy. "Also, what's wrong with showing affection? If you have the ability, find one and show it off in front of us..."
"Oh, yes, you do want to show off together, but it's a pity that your little ex-girlfriend is not willing to show off with you!"
"I've been chasing a girl from summer until spring is coming. If I haven't caught up yet, I've ruined our Qin family's genes."
"I get annoyed when I see you, so get out of here!"
Qin Nan opened the door, pushed Qin Jie out, and slammed the door mercilessly.
Qin Zhe, who was kicked out, felt a little hot all over because of the alcohol. He raised his hand, pulled down a handful of ties, unbuttoned two buttons at his Adam's apple, and then stopped a car with a not particularly steady step.
The car returned home.
Qin Zhe just wanted to sleep after drinking too much. He was sleep deprived most of the year, so he fell into bed and fell asleep when he got home.
This sleep was a bit deep and a bit long. When he woke up again, it was already ten o'clock in the morning the next day.
Picking up his phone, he realized that the little girl had replied to him on WeChat yesterday afternoon. He blocked the light with his arm, lazily stood up, leaned against the bedside and pressed the keyboard to reply a message, "I was drunk yesterday. I just
Awake."
After thinking about it, Qin Jie added, "I drank at my aunt's house."
Qin Jie waited for a few minutes and saw that there was still no movement from Chen Enci, so he got out of bed and went to wash up.
After grabbing some food at noon, Qin Zie sat on the balcony and basked in the sun and read for a while. On the way, he picked up his mobile phone several times, but Chen Enci remained silent. Qin Zie got up and flipped through another mobile phone. Chen Enci unexpectedly
Nor is it bubbling among the sonorous roses.
Qin Zhe thought for a moment, then clicked on Chen Enci with his fingertips. He also took Lin Ran and Lu Xing with him and asked, "How do you plan to celebrate the New Year?"
Lin Ran and Lu Xing spoke a few minutes apart, but Chen Enci did not appear.
Look at this bowl, it’s big and round. “Where’s Chen Enci?”
Lu Xing: "Oh, okay? She's busy, she has to record a show today, so she probably doesn't have time to look at her phone."
On New Year's Eve...she still has to work?
Qin Jie frowned slightly, put down his phone, and continued to wait for news from Chen Enci while reading.
At seven o'clock in the evening, I didn't hear any news from Chen Enci. Instead, I got a call from Rong Yu. "Qin Gou, Xiaojiu and I are at the Golden Palace, will you come over?"
Qin Jie was really bored at home alone on New Year's Eve, so she changed her clothes and went out.
When they arrived at Jinjingshuanghuang, Qin Jie realized that there were a lot of people called by Rong Yu, some of whom he had seen but could not name.
But after coming, he could not leave. Qin Zhe chose a seat next to Rong Yu and sat down, receiving a glass of wine.
There were so many people in the private room, Qin Zie seemed to be unable to hear the noise in the room, sitting there drinking to himself and scrolling through his cell phone.
Staying in such an occasion for a long time is more boring than staying at home alone. When the Spring Festival Gala started, Qin Jie, who had not waited for news about Chen Enci, came out of the box and wanted to go outside to breathe some air.
Not ten minutes after he came out, he received a message from Rong Yu asking him where he was going. He replied, "Go back immediately." He stayed in the night for a while. When he was about to turn around, someone called him, "Mr. Qin?"
Qin Ji turned around and saw a short-haired woman wearing a red sweater.
He doesn't have prosopagnosia, but sometimes he doesn't pay much attention, so he can't remember people he met once. But he remembers this woman... Her name is Chen Rong, she is the little girl's sister, half-mother.
.
Qin Jie paused for three seconds and turned to face Chen Rong.
Chen Rong seemed to be hesitating for something. He hesitated for a while before walking up to Qin Jie, "Have you... seen her today?"
Qin Jie was stunned for a moment, then realized who Chen Rong was referring to, "Chen Enci?"
"Well, yes." Chen Rong nodded and asked, "It's Chinese New Year today, have you seen her?"
"No," Qin Zhe said after a pause, "You have something to do with her?"
"No..." Chen Rong smiled, as if he didn't know how to speak. He stood there for a while, then said "Sorry" and turned around to leave.
Qin Zhe didn't stop her, but Chen Rong turned sideways, as if he had made up his mind, gritted his teeth, then turned to look at Qin Zhe and said, "She has spent the Spring Festival alone these years."
"Her relationship with her father is not very good. She had a quarrel with her father and she has never been home since then."
"Actually, when she lived at home, she lived alone. She was not that close to us. To her, maybe we were more like a family, and she was more like an outsider. In her eyes, we
That home has never been her home. Because she has no home to return to, she stays busy outside during the Spring Festival..."
Chen Rong thought to herself that she had seen a ghost. She and Chen Yao went out to play together. When they saw Qin Jie, she accidentally asked Chen Yao to go meet his friends first. Before she could even realize what was going on, she blurted out:
Qin Jie, who was about to leave, stayed there.
Regarding these family matters, she didn't know whether Chen Enci had ever talked to Qin Jie, but she thought that this Spring Festival... if she could find someone to spend it with her, he would be the only person she knew.
Chen Rong didn't know whether Qin Jie understood her hint. After she said what she wanted to say, she felt a little embarrassed, so she smiled and left.
Because I have no home to go back to, I will be busy outside during the Spring Festival...
He said that she had been working with the skylight open for most of the year and her salary was pitifully low. Why did she make announcements during the Chinese New Year? It turned out that it was just to make herself feel less lonely in such a day when every household was harmonious...
Qin Jie's heart felt like it had been pricked by something, and there was a dull pain.
She seems to have many secrets that he doesn't know about.
"What are you thinking about?" Rong Yu saw that Qin Jie still didn't go back, so he came out to arrest him.
Qin Jie came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing. I drank a little too much and I'm ready to leave."
"Ah? How long have you been here before you leave? Besides, you didn't drink much, either?"
While Qin Zie sent a message to Qin Nan, asking her to help check Chen Enci's current movements, Qin Zie casually said, "Maybe you haven't sobered up from yesterday's wine?"
Contains "…………"
Qin Nan was very efficient. As soon as he sent the message, she sent him a reply with the schedule of recent artists. When he scanned Chen Enci, he said to Rong Yu again, "You guys want to play, I dodge?"
"You really dodged? Where did you go? Go home? It's not even nine o'clock yet. On New Year's Eve, you are playing the role of a loner by yourself?"
"If you don't want to go home," Qin Zhe stuffed his cell phone in his pocket and walked out the door, "find a place to wait for someone to pick up the body."
