Roaming in the world of film and television

After a few days.

Kunshan Garden.

Lin Yue knocked on the door with a cat in his arms.

It wasn't one-eyed Xiahou, but a plump orange cat.

You know, in order to get the cat back, he spent a lot of effort, bought toys, ate KFC with him, and went around Disney, and finally got the little owner of the scallion pancake stall.

"Why are you free today..."

Chen Yu opened the door and was stunned when he saw the fat lump in his arms: "Pikachu? Is this Pikachu?"

"It's all eaten like this, thanks to you, you can still recognize him." Lin Yue walked into the room while talking.

Chen Yu followed behind with a cane between one arm and a limp.

"You're really good at finding it back."

Lin Yue found the cat cage near the living room, opened it and stuffed Pikachu into it.

"This is your last debt to Zhong Xiaoqin. If you pay it back, the two of you will be completely settled."

A few days ago, Smith called and told him that Chen Yu was injured while tracking and photographing a white rhino, but it was not life-threatening, except that the right leg bone was broken. After the doctor's examination, he said it was not serious and he would just need to rest for a while.

Naturally, things like taking photos of wild animals cannot be done. Thinking that Chen Yu had been in Africa for almost three months, and it was time to pick him up, Lin Yue borrowed Lu Jinwei's private jet to fly to Tanzania to pick him up from Africa. Come back to recuperate.

"Since you found the cat, why didn't you send it to Zhong Xiaoqin?" Chen Yu slowly sat down on the sofa and put the crutch not far from him.

"I don't know where she lives."

"Then call her and ask her to pick it up herself."

"I think you'd better go there yourself and take the cat to her house."

"Why? I have such legs now, aren't you sincerely embarrassing me?"

"After you left, Zhong Xiaoqin's mother came several times for the divorce."

"Didn't you say that she has fallen in love with Zhong Xiaoyang?"

"But her mother doesn't like that man, and she still misses you. You send the cat back, and explain the matter to them by the way."

"..."

"You can't escape this kind of thing, you have to face it."

"You kid, now that your wings are hardened, it's time to teach your brother a lesson."

Lin Yue shrugged and looked at the scale of his watch: "It's almost time, I have to go to the airport to pick up someone, let's go."

Chen Yu asked a lot: "Who are you picking up?"

Lin Yue blinked: "Gu Jia."

After finishing speaking, he left without looking back.

"This kid..." Chen Yu shook his head with a helpless expression on his face.

...

the next afternoon.

Downstairs of Zhong's house.

Zhong Xiaoqin walked slowly. This was the first time she had come back since she moved out. The closer she was to the door, the stronger the anxiety in her heart. Aunt Wang patted her on the shoulder just now, and she was almost scared to death.

After entering the house, what should parents say if they want to ask about Zhong Xiaoyang?

Said that his father's company was investigated, his mother was sued, and he went abroad to hide his debts? I haven't contacted her for almost half a month, and there is no movement on WeChat. It seems that I am still angry with her.

In the past, Chen Yu's cold violence was mostly non-communication, but she would still do what should be done. For example, she would cook meals for two people. As for whether to eat or not, that was her business.

In contrast, Zhong Xiaoyang's coldness and violence were even more excessive, and he didn't even answer her questions about the progress of his father's case.

She was disappointed and angry.

boom boom boom~

The knock on the door echoed in the corridor.

After the sound of footsteps, the door opened with a bang.

"Xiaoqin, you are back."

"Can I not come back? You are threatening to sever my relationship with my mother and daughter."

Zhong Xiaoqin took off her bag and hung it on the coat rack, put away her coats, changed into her slippers and walked into the living room. Before she could answer her father who was sitting on the sofa, she saw the clothes on the cotton pad near the corner of the balcony. An orange cat is lying down.

"Huh, Pikachu?"

"Pikachu!"

The cat heard her shout of joy, opened its eyes and meowed twice.

It's really Pikachu, but with a fatter body.

"Dad, why is Pikachu back?"

Father Zhong, who was sitting on the sofa, turned his mouth to the TV, and Zhong Xiaoqin turned to look, only to see a talk show broadcast on the Shanghai Taiwan Art and Humanities Channel, and the man on the sofa opposite the hostess looked familiar.

Very familiar.

Because it is Chen Yu.

"Mr. Chen, I heard that you used to be the editor of our TV station."

"Yes, I used to work on a news channel."

"Then what made you decide to go to Africa?"

"Live, life will always force you to live poorly or foolishly."

"You are so funny."

"Thank you, I mean it, because very few people praised me that much. In the past, the impressions of my relatives and friends around me were either rigid or boring."

"It seems that you have been in Africa for three months, not only have you shot many amazing works, but also your personality has changed a lot."

"Yes, if you have the opportunity to be teammates with a group of people who are bored enough to play pranks on wild animals, you may also find some other kind of happiness."

"..."

Zhong Xiaoqin looked at her ex-husband on TV: "Why is he on TV?"

Before getting married, Chen Yu had been on TV, but he did so as a front-line reporter. After getting married, he became an editor in Lu Xin's column group, working behind the scenes. However, three months after their divorce, he not only returned to The TV station has also become a guest on a talk show.

No house, car, deposit.

He was invited back to the TV station.

In this way, he interpreted his own success.

"Chen Yu is in trouble now." Zhong's mother put away the shoes at the door and walked over, picked up the mobile phone that was thrown on the sofa, opened a WeChat official account, pointed to the picture on it and said, "Did you see it? It was the photo he took, and it is said that it was published in some foreign BBC magazine, and this... The latest public service advertisement of CCTV Science and Education Channel used this photo."

Father Zhong took off his glasses and put them on the coffee table, pointing to the cat in the corner: "That Pikachu was found by him."

Zhong Xiaoqin looked at her radiant ex-husband on TV, feeling very complicated.

After the divorce, he changed his life trajectory, embarked on the path of pursuing his dreams, and achieved enviable achievements.

What about her? She wanted to be glamorous, to be relaxed and happy, to be free. Three months later, did she get it?

"You called me back just because of Pikachu?"

"Xiaoqin." Zhong Muyu said earnestly, "Do you know why Chen Yu came back from Africa?"

"Why?"

"His leg was injured, and the doctor said it was broken and he had to stay at home."

Zhong Xiaoqin looked surprised: "Did he break his leg?"

"That's right." Father Zhong said, "He sent Pikachu over with his broken leg. What a good-natured person you say. He was really crazy when he insisted on getting a divorce."

Zhong's mother said: "What I mean to your father is that he has already reached this point, why don't you go and see him, at least a couple."

Zhong Xiaoqin sat on the sofa and thought for a moment: "Then... Shall I visit him in the afternoon?"

"That's right." Father Zhong said, "This is called reciprocity."

Mother Zhong glared at him from the side.

What reciprocity! She and the old man knew very well that Chen Yu came this time not only to send the cat, but also to remind them not to go to Kunshan Garden to look for him, because he will not have much time at home in the future, and it would be a waste of effort to run there.

Here is also a euphemistic expression of unwillingness to entangle with the Zhong family.

After Chen Yu left, the two became anxious. If such a good son-in-law doesn't do something, the marriage between his daughter and him will be completely over, and there will be no possibility of reunion.

So there was the phone call from Zhong's mother to force her to go home by severing the mother-daughter relationship, and the oboe just now, in order to create a chance to meet, hoping that the two of them could rekindle their old relationship.

...

evening

Zhong Xiaoqin came to Kunshan Garden with two bags of fruit and knocked on the door of her former home.

boom boom boom~

"coming."

Chen Yu's answer came from inside the room, the door opened after a few breaths, and a face that was much darker than the impression appeared on the opposite side.

"Zhong Xiaoqin?" He seemed surprised, he was stunned for a while before he realized, he turned sideways and let her into the room.

"I heard that you were injured, so I came to see you."

Zhong Xiaoqin walked into the house, put the things on the table in the living room, looked at her ex-husband who limped and followed, and said, "How are your legs?"

"It's not a big problem. The doctor said that after recuperating for a month, it will be almost back to normal."

"Thank you for Pikachu."

"You're welcome, you should." Chen Yu said, "Do you drink water? I'll pour it for you."

These words are very polite, but they are a bit harsh to Zhong Xiaoqin's ears, because when they are not divorced, it is always "the water is boiled only when there is water in the pot, and you have to drink it yourself."

"Is Africa fun?"

Chen Yu sat down slowly next to the sofa: "Africa is not fun."

"It's not fun, have you been there for so long?"

"People, you can't be idle, you have to find something to do."

"Too."

Zhong Xiaoqin suddenly remembered that she had been idle for almost two months: "How have you been recently?"

Chen Yu said, "It's okay."

"..." Zhong Xiaoqin didn't know what to say, the atmosphere in the room was weird, before when he was not divorced, he always chatted to death, but he didn't feel so alienated.

The silence lasted almost half a minute.

There was a soft click in the corridor, and the door opened from the outside. No one was seen, and a female voice with very standard Mandarin was heard from a distance: "Chen Yu, the sauce I asked Emily to send has arrived. How about making your favorite tacos tonight?"

The sound of the door closing.

The sound of changing shoes.

"By the way, is Chen Xu coming? If he comes, we need to prepare three servings."

"He said he would have dinner with Gu Jia tonight, so he won't come."

"Oh, that's it."

A woman walked into the living room with a round face. Zhong Xiaoqin thought it looked a bit like her, but her eyes and nose had the characteristics of a Caucasian woman, and when it came to her mouth, she became delicate like an Asian woman.

"Hey, is there a guest?"

Hearing Jane's question, Chen Yu hurriedly introduced them: "Oh, this is Zhong Xiaoqin, her name is Jane, she is...uh, I met in Africa..."

"I've heard about you." Jane walked over and extended her right hand to Zhong Xiaoqin generously.

...

Zhong Xiaoqin escaped.

Run away!

From the way Chen Yu faltered when introducing Jane, she could also guess the relationship between the two, but the ex-husband still wanted to take care of her feelings and didn't say it directly.

Although he knew that the two had divorced and it was his personal business for Chen Yu to find a girlfriend who was younger and more beautiful than her and had the same hobbies, he still couldn't help feeling frustrated and angry.

Why, he got a new girlfriend in just three months?

At the same time, in a Lincoln Aviator parked opposite the entrance of Kunshan Garden, Lin Yue looked at the squatting one-eyed cat on the co-pilot and said, "Yes, I did it on purpose, so that he, her and her family will be completely cut off." thoughts."

...

a month later.

Shanghai, which is about to enter winter, reveals an unbearable coldness.

The corridor of the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital is overcrowded. There are men who accompany their wives for prenatal checkups, nurses who walk quickly, and some who hold their children and wait for screening.

Wang Manni took the ultrasound examination report and turned out of the stairs, walked to Zhong Xiaoqin who was waiting in the waiting chair and asked, "How is it?"

Shaking her head pale, Zhong Xiaoqin handed the phone forward.

In the middle of the screen is a WeChat dialog between her and a person who uses a motorcycle as his avatar. Near the bottom edge is a money transfer pattern, with two 0s behind "88".

"How could he do this!"
