December 27th. Late at night. A gym in the central shopping street of Hammon City.

Jiang Luosheng just got a card today and started exercising.

Getting off the treadmill, she wiped her sweat and clicked on her phone's mailbox again. She has read this email of invitation to shoot Olinna's New Year's poster in the morning, she has read it 10,000 times.

The corners of his lips secretly raised a smug arc. It was her first job since becoming a spokesperson.

After all the sweat fell, Jiang Luosheng put away his mobile phone, took a towel and a water bottle, and prepared to go home. The door of the gym opened at this time, and Zhao Ting walked in.

Jiang Luosheng was stunned, "Doctor Zhao? ”

"Luo Sheng?" Zhao Ting was also surprised, "You also come to fitness?" ”

"Hmm. What a coincidence. Do you come often? ”

"Yes, I really like the gym here, the environment is good. I usually come at this time, and there aren't many people. Zhao Ting smiled, "Why have I never seen you?" ”

"The card I just got today," Jiang Luosheng smiled, "I'm going to shoot the Olinna poster soon, and I don't want to have a trace of fat." ”

Zhao Ting's eyes widened slightly, "Olinna? ”

"They've signed me as spokesperson."

"That's great!" Zhao Ting admired.

"Good luck." Jiang Luosheng smiled and nodded.

"Congratulations!" Zhao Ting sincerely congratulated her, "When will you shoot the poster?" ”

Jiang Luosheng blinked and scratched his head embarrassedly, "Hehe, tomorrow." ”

Zhao Ting was stunned, "Yes, relying on my figure, I dare to hold my feet like this." ”

Jiang Luosheng admired, "Doctor Zhao, you are really good at talking." ”

"Luo Sheng, I'm very happy for you." Zhao Ting looked at her gently, "Enjoy your career and start a new life." ”

"Hmm. Thank you. Jiang Luosheng didn't think that he was healthy now, but he was much better than before, and Dr. Zhao contributed a lot.

The two exchanged a few words and said goodbye. Jiang Luosheng came out of the gym, covered himself tightly, and plugged in headphones to listen to music.

It's very close to home, and it's only a 10-minute walk back.

ThinkingOutLoud is looping through the headphones. Late night air, cold but fresh.

She walked slowly, looking at the neon lights of the commercial street, the high-rise buildings rising from the city, and the endless flow of cars on the road. In the blink of an eye, the days passed day by day, sometimes I felt a little hopeful, and sometimes I couldn't see hope.

When he returned to Dongtai's apartment, Xiao Qi had just come out of the bathroom and was getting a drink from the refrigerator.

Jiang Luosheng walked into the kitchen and just wanted to say hello to him, when the music in the headphones was suddenly cut off by the ringtone of the caller.

She looked at the caller ID, raised her eyebrows, and pressed the answer button, "Dad." ”

Xiao Qi, who was facing her back, was stunned for a moment, and turned around, her expression playful, as if she had taken advantage of it.

Jiang Luosheng kicked him lightly and said "childish" with his mouth.

"Girl," Jiang Yuan's voice rang from the other end of the phone, "You didn't sleep, did you?" ”

"Didn't sleep. What's wrong? ”

"It's okay, just ask how you've been doing? All going well? ”

"It's all going well." Jiang Luosheng said gently, "What about you?" ”

"It's good, it's good, it's still like that."

"Call me, do you miss me?" Jiang Luosheng was coquettish in a milky voice.

"Not really. My daughter is so good, I can wake up laughing in the middle of the night. ”

"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm giving you trouble with my excellence." Jiang Luosheng responded shamelessly.

"Is there any news for the Olena you told me about last time?"

Jiang Luosheng was a little surprised. Jiang Yuan actually remembered it, and he would take the initiative to ask.

"Shoot a New Year's poster tomorrow." She boasted to her father, "Isn't your daughter particularly powerful?" ”

"Ouch, my daughter is the best. You endorse such a good brand, you should get a lot of money, right? ”

"It's not much, but the seniority has gone up."

"Girl, Dad told you," Jiang Yuan's tone suddenly became extraordinarily serious, "A few days ago, two policemen/detectives came to look for me. ”

"When?"

"Twenty."

Jiang Luosheng blinked. Before the police looked for her, they first looked for Jiang Yuan.

"What are you looking for?"

Jiang Yuan lowered his voice, "They asked me, what is the festival between you and your brother." ”

Jiang Luosheng frowned violently, "How did you answer?" ”

But before Jiang Yuan could speak, she realized that if Jiang Yuan had said it, the police must not have interrogated her like that that day.

Sure enough, Jiang Yuan told her: "Of course I didn't tell them anything. ”

"Hmm."

"I have to protect my daughter, don't I?"

Jiang Luosheng sniffed, "Hmm." ”

"Did you say Dad was good to you?" Jiang Yuan's tone grinned.

Jiang Luosheng actually knew very well what Jiang Yuan wanted to do. Take the initiative to call her, ask her about Olinna's income, and in turn please her, what else can she be for?

But she still responded, "Okay." ”

"That's because my daughter is good." Jiang Yuan continued to curry favor.

"Dad, what's the matter with you, just tell me." Jiang Luosheng knew that Jiang Yuan must have something to ask for, but he didn't feel impatient.

"That, girl, if you don't have a lot of money recently, can you borrow some money from your father?"

"What's wrong?"

"Dad rents a house."

"Rent has gone up?"

"No, now that this contract has expired, I want to change to a better house to rent." Jiang Yuan's tone couldn't hear the embarrassment of asking his daughter for money.

"Yes, let's change it to a better one." Jiang Luosheng happily agreed, "I'll sponsor you." ”

She knew in her heart that Jiang Yuan's loan would not be repaid.

"Okay," Jiang Yuan was obviously happy, "So, just these two days?" ”

"Hmm. I'll shoot Olina tomorrow, get the honorarium, and I'll call you directly. ”

Xiao Qi stood aside and looked at her, sighing imperceptibly.

"Okay! The girl is so sweet. ”

"Of course," Jiang Luosheng coquettishly, "Dad, do you like me the most?" ”

"Dad likes you the most."

Jiang Luosheng didn't care whether this was true or not, he was serious and happy first.

"By the way, girl," Jiang Yuan thought for a while, and said hesitantly, "Dad asked you something." ”

"What's the matter?"

"On the night of November 1st," Jiang Yuan's tone couldn't tell whether he was curious or questioning, "Did you follow me and go to find your brother?" ”

Jiang Luosheng narrowed his eyes. Jiang Qingyuan's death, Jiang Yuan was suspicious of her from beginning to end. There are some things he doesn't say, in order to protect not his daughter, but his son.

Jiang Luosheng's heart was like a mirror, but he didn't dare to think about how actively he cooperated when the police investigated Jiang Yuan.

At that moment, Jiang Yuan asked her so, and she planned to answer as she did on the day she was investigated.

"What do you mean?" She pretended to be stupid first.

"Did you drive a Volkswagen and follow me from my house to your brother's house?" Jiang Yuan really didn't give up.

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Luosheng said confusedly, "I borrowed my colleague's car for a ride that night. What's wrong? ”

"For a ride?"

"That's right."

There was silence on the other end of the earpiece. Jiang Yuan obviously didn't believe it, but there was nothing he could do.

Finally, he spoke: "Okay girl, go to bed early." ”

"You too," Jiang Luosheng said softly, "Good night." ”

After hanging up the phone, she noticed that Xiao Qi was leaning against the wall like that, looking at her with an expression of hatred.

"Don't educate me again." She said lightly.

Xiao Qi will not be gagged by her. "Jiang Yuan is looking for money again?"

"Hmm." Jiang Luosheng took the orange juice from the refrigerator.

"Last time it was a fight, what is it this time?" Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Murder bail?" ”

Jiang Luosheng ignored his sarcasm, "He wants to change the house to rent." The place where he lives now is indeed too broken. ”

"Rats can't get used to living in holes?"

"Director Xiao," Jiang Luosheng was helpless, "I found that you have damaged people, it is really a set." ”

She handed the orange juice to Xiao Qi, "Unscrew it for me." ”

Xiao Qi helped her unscrew the cap.

"He's renting a house this time, and next time he's probably going to buy a house." He advised, "If you give in like this, sooner or later you will ruin your life." ”

"I'm not accommodating," Jiang Luosheng lowered his eyes, "I'm willing." ”

"Willing to be hollowed out by him?"

"If you empty your family, you can buy father's love," Jiang Luosheng said word by word, "Then I am willing." ”

Xiao Qi's eyes sank, still staring at her.

For so many years, he watched Jiang Luosheng struggle in obsession, desperately whitewashing the pain, but he never thought of getting out.

But what right does he have to persuade him? Isn't he the same?

It's just that Jiang Luosheng can't even touch the shadow of his obsession. And he, like now, can reach out his hand, touch his hair, touch his cheeks, and then go all the way down, turning his hand and pinching his chin.

Jiang Luosheng was pinched by his chin and shook twice.

"Silly girl." Xiao Qi's deep voice was full of helplessness.
