Chapter 182: Marriage is the result of love, not the cause

At the beginning of the day, the night is like a veil, enveloping the whole city.

Qin Muchu sat on the observation deck, the darkness blurred the height, so that his fear of heights did not attack.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the thousands of sparks lit up in the city, and the light and shadow of the buildings are reflected on the inner lake of the city, like two opposing worlds.

Qin Muchu suddenly felt that this scenery was a bit like Shanghai, when he was filming there, he looked out of the hotel window at night, and he also had a similar scene.

It's just that the Huangpu River is outside the Shanghai Hotel, and there is no Oriental Pearl in the Bay Province.

"Let's go!"

Qin Muchu turned his head and saw Zhou Jiaolun wearing a knitted hat and a mask.

The knitted hat was wrapped around the eyebrows, and the mask covered most of the face, only the eyes were exposed.

"Yours, put it on, let's go!"

Zhou Jiaolun threw the same hat and mask at Qin Muchu.

Qin Muchu caught the hat and flipped it back and forth, without ink, and put it directly on his head.

Not to mention, it's quite warm.

The glass window vaguely reflected his appearance at this time - also wrapped up to the eyebrows, deep peach blossom eyes, there is a feeling of a melancholy male god.

"It's pretty similar......"

Qin Muchu covered his mouth, "Sister Qingxia's eyebrows and mouth" were all blocked, and the similarity with the bottle dragon suddenly reached more than ninety percent.

"Are you roaring? What to see......"

The sound stopped abruptly.

Zhou Jiaolun looked at himself projected on the window with his arms around Qin Muchu's neck, and suddenly lost his voice, and his eyes that were originally full of smiles also lost their minds instantly.

Without contrast, there is no harm.

"Let's go."

Qin Muchu patted Zhou Zhuolun on the shoulder, glanced at him, shook his head and sighed, and walked towards the elevator.

One second.

Two seconds......

"Damn! What do you mean, it must be the hat reason, yours is better than me, I don't believe it! ”

Zhou Jiaolun caught up with Qin Muchu, and kept babbling in his mouth......

……

"This is the old street of the Bay Province, I used to come here when I was a child, but it is quite prosperous, and it is the largest night market in the whole Bay Province."

Qin Muchu looked at the streets full of food stalls, all kinds of delicacies were written on various light signs, and the aroma of countless kinds of snacks came to his nose.

There are a lot of people in the night market, holding the snacks they just bought, talking and laughing while walking, and their faces are colorful under the lights.

"Isn't that great?"

Zhou Jiaolun put his hand in his pocket and raised his eyebrows at Qin Muchu.

"Pretty good."

Qin Muchu nodded.

Although I haven't eaten it yet, the atmosphere is already full, and in this environment, the steamed buns can be delicious.

However, he still has some concerns:

"You have to take off your mask to eat, are you sure you're okay?"

"Don't worry, everyone is out to play, eat and drink, and talk nonsense with friends, as long as we don't stand in a conspicuous place for a long time, no one pays attention to us at all, I tried last time."

Zhou Jiaolun waved his hand, beckoned to Qin Muchu as he spoke, and took the lead in blending into the flow of people:

"Let's go buy two cups of milk tea appetizers first, there is a milk tea shop here that is delicious, hurry up, don't lose it."

……

Qin Muchu and Zhou Jiaolun walked in the night market with a cup of milk tea alone, and the rich aroma around them attracted Qin Muchu's index fingers, and he wanted to stop buying food several times, but he was pulled forward by Zhou Jiaolun, saying that there was something delicious in front.

"This is the place, the chicken cutlet is very good, fragrant and crispy, and the oyster fried is also delicious."

Zhou Jiaolun took Qin Muchu into a snack bar, the space was quite large, there were more than a dozen small tables, and they were full.

After stepping forward to order, Zhou Jiaolun motioned to Qin Muchu with his eyes to look at the customers at the table in the store.

"It's funny, everyone else is a couple visiting the night market together, and I have a girlfriend who is still with you."

There are more couples in the night market, and the shops are basically couples, in pairs, feeding each other snacks, laughing and chatting.

"I don't care, you can call her out." Qin Muchu shrugged.

In his previous life, he had always been single, and he was used to being a light bulb when he went out with his friends, so he didn't feel embarrassed.

"Really?"

"Hmm."

"That'...... Introducing, this is my good brother and this is my girlfriend. ”

At the table next to Zhou Jiaolun, a woman slowly stood up.

He wears a hat, but he doesn't wear a mask, so he can see his face clearly.

The woman waved at Qin Muchu a little shyly:

"Hello, I'm Hou Peizen."

Qin Muchu was stunned, but immediately greeted politely:

"Hello, I'm Qin Muchu."

At the same time, his eyes swept to Zhou Jiaolun, wanting him to explain what the situation was.

Zhou Jiaolun read Qin Muchu's eyes and walked to his side:

"I knew you wouldn't mind if I brought my girlfriend, so I asked Pecen to wait here in advance, I don't know you very well?"

Grabbed Qin Muchu's shoulder, his voice suddenly became smaller, and his speed of speech suddenly accelerated:

"I just reconciled last night, alas, if I don't call her with me today, she will definitely think more, please."

Qin Muchu instantly got Zhou Zhuolun's meaning, nodded his head in understanding, and then said to Hou Peicen with a smile:

"Straw Lun mentions you every time on the phone, this time I came to Bay Province, and said that I should envy it."

"Really?"

Hou Peicen looked at Zhou Jiaolun, his eyes full of joy.

Zhou Jiaolun immediately replied with a "I am proud" look.

Hou Peicen walked up to Zhou Jiaolun, took his hand, and whispered:

"He's talking nonsense."

slapped Zhou Jiaolun's arm lightly again:

"Why do you always mention me on ......the phone?"

"It's not strange to call your girlfriend."

Zhou Jiaolun put his arm around Hou Peicen with one hand, and silently gave Qin Muchu a thumbs up with the other.

Good brothers!

Daddy should do it.

The two met their eyes for a moment, and they understood what they meant to each other.

……

If you want to ask what is the difference between one more person visiting the night market and Qin Muchu and Zhou Zhulun visiting the night market before, the biggest difference is that there is one more person.

Qin Muchu is the one with more......

In front, Zhou Jiaolun and Hou Peicen hugged each other, Qingqing and me, all kinds of feeding each other, snuggling and laughing when they were happy.

And Qin Muchu was like the shadow of the two, silently eating snacks next to him, and he had to accept the "surprise inspection" of the two from time to time.

"Xiao Chu, you say, did I tell you who my girlfriend was when I was filming "Golden Armor"?"

Zhou Jiaolun turned his head and asked Qin Muchu, his little eyes trying his best to convey an "obvious" signal to Qin Muchu "not obviously".

Because Hou Peicen is invigilating.

This is obviously a question to be scored, and everyone knows the answer, and the key is how to make the answer credible and true.

Qin Muchu's mind was spinning wildly, and he instantly thought of a countermeasure.

Shaking his head:

"No ......"

"What!?"

Zhou Jiaolun looked at his good brother who stabbed himself at a critical time in disbelief.

"You talk about it every day, everyone knows it, do you still need to tell me?" Qin Muchu looked right.

looked at Hou Peicen again, pointed at Zhou Jiaolun and sneered:

"At that time, he often wandered around the two crews of "Golden Armor" and "Star You", and talked about you every day, and joked at that time that the dogs in the crew knew about you."

"Ah, is it Sauce Purple?"

Hou Peicen beat Zhou Jiaolun, seemingly blaming, but in fact coquettish:

"Why are you purple, people will laugh at you."

"They are envious ......"

Looking at the two of them who turned around and snuggled together again, Qin Muchu sighed tiredly.

In the past, as a light bulb, you just had to hang it on the side and light up your friend and his girlfriend.

It's not like now, you have to be overhauled at every turn.

He is a light bulb, but he is used as a "magic lamp".

I took out a piece of chicken steak from the plastic bag and took a bite, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Tired, destroy.

……

Late at night.

Qin Muchu and Zhou Jiaolun returned to the Great Flat.

Zhou Zhuolun still has a bit of humanity, and he didn't let Qin Muchu come back alone.

"Xiao Chu, you are worthy of being a screenwriter and director, thanks to you tonight."

Back on the big flat, the two collapsed on the sofa.

Qin Muchu was tired and coped with a night of "spot checks".

Zhou Jiaolun ate enough, and Hou Peicen basically only ate one or two bites of the snacks he bought, and the rest went into his stomach.

"I said so much panic tonight, I'm afraid that I will be punished in the future."

For the sake of Zhou Zhuolun's happiness, many of Qin Muchu's words inevitably had to be "artistically processed".

The effect is very significant, Zhou Jiaolun and Pei Cen can't wait to stick together tonight, and they are grinding and chirping when they are separated, no, they are reluctant to give up.

"How can that be called lying...... Even if it's a lie, it's a white lie! ”

Zhou Jiaolun turned over and lay directly on the sofa, kicked each other's feet, kicked off his shoes, and "Mom Sees Fighting" series.

He looked up at the ceiling and suddenly sighed:

"Although Pei Cen is older than me, you can also see that she is like a little girl when we are together, she feels younger than me, but she is too insecure......"

"Maybe she's tolerating you?"

Qin Muchu interjected,

"I don't feel like she's a naΓ―ve little girl, she should be quite assertive, she's paying for things tonight, and she reminded her that it's not too early, you have to go back to rest, and when you two are separated, she keeps urging you to go, don't let me wait."

All of the above, when Zhou Peilun and Hou Peicen were together, she felt that she relied on him like a little girl, but in Qin Muchu's opinion, it was Hou Peicen who tolerated Zhou Zhuolun like a big sister.

The room suddenly fell silent, and it took a long time for Zhou Jiaolun's hesitant voice to be heard.

"Yes...... Is it? ”

"It's just my feelings, not necessarily accurate, but you definitely know her."

Zhou Jiaolun shook his head, shook off the topic, and said:

"Then her lack of security is always true, this can't be wrong."

He turned sideways and looked at Qin Muchu:

"She attaches great importance to whether I introduce her to the people around me, and if there is a good friend or family member who has not been introduced, although she does not say it, I can feel that she is unhappy."

After a pause, Zhou Jiaolun glanced at Zhou's mother's bedroom, and his voice suddenly became smaller, almost angry:

"Moreover, she mentioned getting married this year."

"Married?"

Qin Muchu was surprised.

"Be quiet, don't be heard by your mother!"

Zhou Jiaolun picked up the cushion on the sofa and threw it at Qin Muchu.

Qin Muchu took the cushion, and his surprised expression gradually converged.

The reason why he was surprised just now was because he subconsciously felt that 2007 was still very early, and Yang Mi and Liu Xiqian were still in college, so they couldn't associate Zhou Jiaolun with "marriage" in their minds.

But think about it, Zhou Jiaolun was already half a generation earlier than Yang Mi and them, and he is already twenty-eight this year, and it seems normal to get married.

"You don't want to marry her?" Qin Muchu asked.

"Of course!" Zhou Jiaolun sat up instantly, looking serious: "I am in love with a rush to get married." ”

"Congratulations, when will the wedding be held, I will leave a space." Qin Muchu smiled and clenched his fists.

But Zhou Jiaolun was deflated again:

"Marriage is marriage, but I think it's too early, I'm still ......"

He didn't know what to say.

Qin Muchu added:

"Is it a baby?"

"That's pretty much it."

Zhou Jiaolun actually nodded.

"Shameless!"

Qin Muchu gave a thumbs up,

"A 28-year-old baby?"

"It's too early for a boy to get married at the age of 28!" Zhou Zhuolun reluctantly argued.

Indeed, men in the entertainment industry are basically in the rising period of their careers at the age of 28, and few get married at this time.

But......

"It's not too early for a girl to get married at the age of 30."

There was silence again.

"She'll only be thirty next year."

The voice is very unconfident, as if he can't even convince himself.

"I have a friend who was in a similar situation to you for a while."

Qin Muchu suddenly spoke.

Zhou Jiaolun didn't speak, he didn't know if he was thinking about something else and didn't hear it, or if he was waiting for Qin Muchu's next words.

"His girlfriend wants to marry him, and he doesn't want to."

"And then?" Zhou Jiaolun asked.

"Broke up."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The story is heart-wrenchingly short.

Zhou Jiaolun didn't know what to say for a while, so he picked up the water cup on the coffee table, poured a glass of water and drank it.

After a while:

"Why doesn't he want to marry his girlfriend?"

Because he was very popular at that time, and his career was booming.

He used to have a hard time, he was unknown and not recognized for many years, and finally when it was time to shine, he only wanted to focus on his career. ”

Zhou Jiaolun thought for a while and felt that this story was very familiar.

After a while, he suddenly jumped onto Qin Muchu's sofa and strangled him:

"You're talking about me, why are you cursing me for breaking up!"

Qin Muchu used the cushion to fan Zhou Zhuolun open,

", it's another friend, not you."

"Really?"

Zhou Jiaolun was skeptical, and asked again:

"And what's the name of this friend of yours?"

Qin Muchu thought about it, but didn't say that it was Zhou Xingxing.

"I can't say the name, it's private, but he has the same surname as you as Zhou."

"You're stupid to me, you're talking about me!"

Zhou Jiaolun was even more sure, picked up the cushion and smashed it at Qin Muchu.

"It's not you!"

Not to be outdone, Qin Muchu jumped onto another sofa and threw Zhou Jiaolun with a cushion.

For a while, the two of them went back and forth and launched a cushion war.

After a long time, the "Great War" ended.

Both of them were smashed with their hairstyles flying around, sitting on the couch panting.

The sofa was also "bare", and the cushions were thrown all over the living room.

But it's two big people, they both control it, and they don't break things.

"We broke up this time because of my scandal with Hebe, plus the media was very unfavorable to us, and we broke up after a fight."

Zhou Jiaolun's somewhat depressed voice sounded.

After the fight, he remembered the troubles again.

He couldn't say these things to his mother and grandmother, for fear that they would worry.

Among my friends, there are very few who can say this.

"Because she is insecure, she wants to get married." Qin Muchu contacted what Zhou Zhuolun said and analyzed.

Zhou Jiaolun scratched his hair, and his hairstyle became like a chicken nest:

"Xiao Chu, do you think I should get married?"

"Knot, let me be a grandfather sooner."

"I'm serious, don't be kidding!"

Zhou Jiaolun tried to find a cushion, but he couldn't find it.

Qin Muchu also got up seriously, sat up straight and looked at Zhou Jiaolun:

"Don't you have any scandals when you get married? Is the media optimistic about you? These are not under your control, the scandal was written by someone else, and the media can also say that you are going to divorce when you get married. ”

"You mean not to get married?" Zhou Jiaolun asked.

"It's not. You always have to get married, but marriage should be the result of love, not the cause. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Jiaolun seemed to have figured out something, and his eyebrows obviously stretched a lot.

Suddenly thinking of something, he looked at Qin Muchu with some confusion:

"Xiao Chu, why do you know so much about a single dog?"

Qin Muchu only felt choked in his heart.

Countless classics come to mind.

Mr. Dong Guo and the wolf, Lu Dongbin and the dog, me and Zhou Jiaolun.
