17. Entanglement

"What is the relationship between you and Bo Jinxi now?" Hearing Zhou Shifeng's question, Zhou Huai was stunned for a moment: "What is the relationship?" Of course, it's the same ...... as Nianzi."

Zhou Shifeng interrupted him abruptly: "Tell me the truth!" ”

Zhou Huai was taken aback by Zhou Shifeng's sudden anger: "I'm telling the truth. ”

Zhou Shifeng stared at Zhou Huai motionlessly, and his right hand holding the cigarette pinched the cigarette in two: "I saw everything that happened the night before the Bo family went abroad. ”

In an instant, Zhou Huai fell into an ice cave.

The night before the Bo family went abroad, it happened that Bo Jinxi's school held a graduation ceremony. That night, after Bo Jinxi and his classmates attended the graduation ceremony, they went to a bar to celebrate, and the bar where the party happened to be near Zhou Huai's school. Zhou Huai went out of school after self-study at night, and happened to see Bo Jinxi, who was very drunk. Bo Jinxi and Zhou Huai have a close relationship, and many classmates know this younger brother who is a few years younger than him, so after seeing Zhou Huai, he directly handed Bo Jinxi to him and asked him to send Bo Jinxi back.

Zhou Huai saw that he was very drunk, so he called the driver of the Bo family and asked him to drive over to pick up people, and during the time when the driver came over, he helped Bo Jinxi to the side to blow the wind and sober up. Who knew that as soon as he helped Bo Jinxi to the mouth of the alley, Bo Jinxi suddenly pressed him against the wall, pinched his chin and kissed him.

Zhou Huai's mind was blank immediately, and by the time he reacted, Bo Jinxi had already let him go. As soon as Bo Jinxi let go of him here, a burst of headlights shone over, and the Bo family's car also drove over. The driver obviously didn't know what had happened before, and after helping Bo Jinxi into the car, he politely wanted to send Zhou Huai home.

At this time, Zhou Huai's brain was in a mess, and he indiscriminately refused the driver's kindness, and after the Bo family driver drove Bo Jinxi away, he returned to Zhou's house alone.

After that, Bo Jinxi went abroad with Bo Mingcheng the next day, and Zhou Huai also hid this matter in his heart, after all, Bo Jinxi was drunk at that time and didn't remember anything. Just when he thought that he was the only one who knew about this matter and would be sealed in his memory forever, Zhou Shifeng once again revealed his memory.

And obviously, Zhou Shifeng misunderstood his relationship with Bo Jinxi.

Zhou Shifeng paused: "I happened to pass by that day, and I wanted to greet you, but I happened to see ......" He squeezed his cigarette tightly and did not finish the rest of the words.

Zhou Huai was silent for a few seconds, he put away his affection, and smiled at Zhou Shifeng: "Dad, you misunderstood, Bo Jinxi was drunk that day......

Zhou Shifeng waved his hand at Zhou Huai: "I came to you today to talk about this, not to condemn you for anything, besides, so many years have passed, since I didn't mention it at the beginning, I don't plan to pursue it now." ”

"I just want to remind you of what to do and what not to do, and to be measured. You are already an adult," he looked at Zhou Huai with deep eyes: "If you don't say it, it's worthy of the Bo family, even our old Zhou family can't afford to lose this face!" ”

"Dad, you really misunderstood!" Zhou Huai's face turned a little pale, his lips moved, but he didn't know how to explain: "It was ...... at that time"

"Click."

There was a knock on the door, Qiu Hui pushed open the door and walked in, Zhou Nianzi followed behind her with a schoolbag, and Zhou Huai had no choice but to take back what he had said halfway.

"Yo, Xiaohuai is back." Qiu Hui was obviously happy to see Zhou Huai, but then frowned: "Old Zhou, why are you smoking again?" Didn't you say quit? ”

Zhou Shifeng's face changed, and he let out a low "um", while Zhou Huai sat aside and didn't speak.

Qiu Hui keenly captured the strange atmosphere in the room, looked at the two of them a few times, and asked, "...... you guys What for? ”

"It's nothing, I haven't seen my son for a long time, talk to Xiaohuai."

"Yes, Xiaohuai, you haven't been home for a few months, have you? You see, why didn't you say it in advance when you came back, I could go to the market and buy more vegetables. ”

"No need," Zhou Huai barely maintained the expression on his face and smiled: "I just came back too." ”

"How long can I stay home this time?"

"Director Li and I took a week's leave."

"Okay, okay," Qiu Hui said with a smile while taking off her coat and hanging it on the hanger: "You have a good rest, there is pork belly bought last week in the refrigerator, and my mother will stew braised pork for you to eat." ”

As soon as her words fell, Zhou Nianzi's head stretched out: "Eat braised pork at night?" That's great! ”

Qiu Hui patted his head: "Go into the house and do your homework!" ”

After that, Qiu Hui asked Zhou Huai a few more words, and began to chat with Zhou Shifeng about business. Zhou Huai returned to the bedroom, and Zhou Nianzi stuck over. After chattering with Zhou Huai about things in school for a while, he suddenly paused, stared at Zhou Huai with watery eyes, raised his chin and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you, is there anything unhappy?" ”

"Nope." Zhou Huai touched his head.

"Then why do I think you're upset?"

"I'm a little tired."

"Then you can sleep for a while!" Zhou Nianzi knew that his brother was an actor, and sometimes he often had to stay up late to film, which was very hard. At this time, he took the pillow out of the cabinet and put it on the bed: "You can sleep for a while, and I will call you when you have dinner." ”

"No," Zhou Huai smiled and pinched Zhou Nianzi's face: "I'll just rest for a while, how did you do in the final exam?" ”

Hearing Zhou Huai mention the final exam, Zhou Nianzi excitedly took out the test paper from his schoolbag and handed it to him, Zhou Huai unfolded the test paper and looked at it, with a smile on his face: "Not bad." ”

"Is there a reward for that?"

Zhou Huai frowned: "How can you take a test and get a reward?" ”

"Only when there is a reward can there be motivation," Zhou Nianzi grabbed Zhou Huai's arm: "So brother, you ...... Can you take me to the playground? ”

Zhou Huai looked at Zhou Nianzi's dark and bright eyes looking at him, and finally couldn't help his coquettishness, and smiled faintly: "Okay." ”

Zhou Huai did not break his promise, and took Zhou Nianzi to the playground the next day. Zhou Shifeng and Qiu Hui are very busy with their work, Zhou Huai is often not at home, and Zhou Nianzi rarely has the opportunity to go to the playground, but this time he finally has a chance, which can be regarded as a refreshing and enjoyable fun. When the two of them came out of the playground, Zhou Nianzi was so tired and sleepy that he even began to shake when he walked, and finally Zhou Huai carried him back.

Zhou Nianzi is now in the second grade of primary school, and it is already quite heavy to hold it.

Zhou Huai walked back while holding Zhou Nianzi, who was sleeping in a daze, and shook it twice from time to time, estimating in his heart that he would not be able to hold him in a few years. Thinking that when he first returned to Zhou's house, Zhou Nianzi was soft and glutinous like a snow ball, and couldn't help but sigh that time passed so fast.

Zhou Huai rushed back to the crew after living at home for less than a week, on the one hand, he wanted to return to the crew to catch up with the progress, after all, he had delayed a lot of scenes due to injuries before; On the other hand, he wanted to avoid the embarrassment of facing Zhou Shifeng, after all, after listening to Bo Mingcheng's meaning, he would soon arrange for Bo Jinxi and Song Man to get engaged, and once Bo Jinxi was engaged, Zhou Shifeng's misunderstanding would be resolved without explanation.

After Zhou Huai returned to the crew, he would receive video calls from Bo Mingcheng from time to time, and obviously this mode of being able to chat face-to-face with his little grandson pleased the old man, and then Bo Mingcheng's phone calls came regularly almost every day, and chatting with Zhou Huai was half an hour.

After more than two months, "Before Dawn" was finally completed. Not long after "Before Dawn" was completed, "Tianhuang Nobles" starring Huo Yan also released a press conference. In addition to the male and female protagonists at the press conference, other leading actors were also present.

In order to buy a press conference dress, Zhou Huai spent almost half of his savings, which was really distressing. But there is no way, after all, he played some small roles before, and he didn't even need to attend the press conference, no matter how he said it this time, he was also the fourth male, even if he was strapped for money, there was no way to save this money.

In fact, it is said that Zhou Huai's usual expenses are not large, he is more homely, and rarely goes to places such as bars and clubs for recreation. It's just that he is a real newcomer in the circle, not to mention the low salary, the family's recent business is not good, and he often has to subsidize the family, so that the savings in his hands become more and more cramped.

Zhou Huai has always been indifferent to money, but now that he is strapped for money, he wants to do some side hustle to make money. Zhang Ming hit it off when he learned of Zhou Huai's idea, after all, his situation was not as good as Zhou Huai's, the assistant's income was not high, his usual expenses were still large, and he had to have a headache to pay off his credit card every month.

As for what side hustle to do, the two have a disagreement, Zhang Ming means to open a restaurant, or run a bar or something, after all, most people in the entertainment industry want to open a side hustle to do this, they need little experience, and they can use their star effect. Zhou Huai was noncommittal about this, running a restaurant is good, but it is not so simple, after all, neither of them has much experience.

Zhang Ming scratched his head: "Otherwise, it's easiest for us to come, I'll contact you with customers, and you advertise on Weibo, after all, we're also stars now, aren't we!" This is a lucrative business! After finishing speaking, he was happy first: "Hey, forget it, buddy, you have hundreds of thousands of followers on Weibo, and there are not as many fans as Internet celebrities, even if we want to advertise, no one will use it!" ”

Zhou Huai took a sip of wine and smiled.

"Why don't I buy you some zombie powder?" Seeing Zhou Huai's expression of listening to jokes, Zhang Ming raised his eyebrows: "Dude didn't joke with you, this is called early investment!" Buy some zombie fans, buy some hot searches, first create an illusion that you are very popular and have a lot of fans, and then more and more people will follow you, forming a virtuous circle! ”

Of course, Zhang Ming drank too much wine at that time, and he didn't really take it to heart when he said that casually. However, within a few days, when he was idle and bored on Weibo, he really saw the name of "Zhou Huai" on the hot search list!

Zhang Ming immediately slapped his thigh: Dude, are you stupid! Marketing also has to pay attention to the order! Brother hasn't bought you fans yet, why did you buy the hot search yourself first! How much does it cost for nothing!
