447 Going to the gym to look for someone

qu xuan probably knew that it wasn’t a good idea to sneak into her son’s crew like this, so she coughed in embarrassment and said, ” Chen, you know that I haven’t seen your second brother for many years. He’s my only son. I want to know how he has been through all these years and if he has suffered.

“don’t worry, i didn’t disturb your second brother’s work. i didn’t even tell the staff about my relationship with your second brother. i also completed my work seriously. don’t say, this really isn’t a job that ordinary people can do. when i first came, i was so miserable.”

forget it, let’s not talk about the past. I’m fully capable of doing this job now. I’m even a little impressed with my learning ability and adaptability.

“although the conditions here are tough, your second brother didn’t suffer much. other than the director of the production team, your second brother’s treatment in the production team is the best. but yingluo, i know that your second brother didn’t get such good treatment right from the start when he was in this industry. i’ve clearly seen how hard it was for those small-time actors in the crew, yingluo.”

“yanyan, i can’t believe that your second brother once lived the same hard life as these small actors,” qu xuan said, choking. when your second brother left home, he was at least seventeen years old and was still a boy. i really don’t dare to think about how you lived after you left home and how much suffering you’ve suffered, yingluo.”

“yanyan, it’s second aunt who has let you down. i’m yingluo.”

“second aunt,” Shi Yan interrupted her.

” i lived with fourth grandmother. i didn’t suffer much. ”

when shi bochen, who was eating, heard this, he realized that something was wrong.

He put down his chopsticks and looked at Shi Yan.

“You’ve been sensible since young. Second aunt knows that you’re afraid that I’ll blame myself. I believe that you didn’t suffer much when your fourth grandmother was still alive, but your fourth grandmother passed away when you were thirteen years old. Since then, you’ve been alone. you’re a child living alone in the countryside. how can you not suffer?”

Yueyue, I’m not alone. There’s still Brother Su chen.

you don’t have to coax second aunt. Su chen is always out and about. He rarely comes back even once a year.

as she said that, she choked again.

Yanyan, I know it’s too late to say anything now. Nothing can be changed, but I still want to apologize to you.

“Second aunt, Wanwan.”

“alright, let’s not talk about this. if you have time, you should ask your second brother what’s going on between him and that ju yanya girl. if you ask, your second brother will definitely tell you the truth, and if there’s any result, you have to tell me. yingluo won’t talk to you anymore, second aunt has to go to work, you can continue eating.”

He hung up the phone after he finished speaking. Shi Yan didn’t even have time to speak.

“a call from second aunt?” Shi Bochen asked.

“Yes.” Shi Yan returned to her senses and put her phone back into her bag.

That’s right. After running away from home, second brother had cut off all contact with his family and friends. When he first entered the complicated entertainment industry, he must have suffered a lot.

and second brother originally did not need to go through such hardships.

It was all because of her.

She lived a peaceful life in a corner, but others suffered a lot because of her.

Seeing that her situation seemed a little off, Shi Bochen was a little anxious. “What did second aunt say? What happened?”

shi yan’s emotions were suppressed very quickly. when shi bochen spoke, she returned to her usual calm appearance and said with a smile, ” it’s nothing. It’s just that second aunt went to second brother’s filming set and found out that second brother seems to be in a relationship, so she called me to confirm it.

That was true, but Shi Bochen knew that this was not the only thing that had happened. Otherwise, she would not have mentioned fourth grandmother and said that she had not suffered.

Seeing that he was staring at her without saying anything, Shi Yan did not explain further.”Let’s eat.”

shi bochen was only 70% full, but he did not have much of an appetite.

the people he had sent found out that crescent bay was a very remote village. the villagers had to walk for more than two hours to get to the market. the road had been repaired in the past two years and could be used, but it had not been in the earlier years. She had to go to the county to attend junior high and senior high School, so she had to walk to town before she could get a car.

how could he not have suffered?

And this was only a small part of it.

it was said that there were still people burning firewood to cook in the crescent moon bay.

in recent years, electrical appliances had become more popular and more convenient. four or five years ago, the power supply in crescent bay was insufficient. it was said that an electric rice cooker could not be carried, so they had to use a firewood rack to cook rice. At that time, fourth grandmother was no longer around, and she lived alone.

“why aren’t you eating? Are you full?”

seeing that he had not moved his chopsticks, shi yan spoke.

“yingluo, yes, i’m full.”

shi yan put down her chopsticks and took out a tissue to wipe her lips and hands. she took a sip of water and said,”Let’s go after we’re full.”

“You’re not eating?” shi bochen finally reacted.

“I’m done.” She had really eaten well, and she was not accommodating anyone. She had thought that she would only accompany Shi Bochen if he wanted to eat more.

“i’m going back to the apartment. you’re going back to school?” shi yan stopped outside the restaurant.

Shi Bochen returned to his senses when he heard her voice.”okay, i’ll go back to school.”

“then i’ll take my leave first.” Shi Yan said.

“Okay, sis, send me a WeChat message when you arrive.” the sky was already dark, and there were few people in the direction she left. he wanted to send her back first, but he knew she didn’t need it.

“Alright,” he said.

After a few steps, Shi Yan stopped and turned around. Shi Bochen was still standing at the same spot, watching her leave.

“bo chen.”

“eh? Ah?”

Shi Bochen did not react for a moment when he heard her suddenly call him ” Bochen.

“don’t think too much. i’ve had a good time these years.”

Without waiting for Shi Bochen’s reply, she turned around and left.

shi bochen stood rooted to the ground for a long time, his eyes starting to sting.

she was clearly the one who was not doing well, so why was she comforting him instead? what was there to comfort him about? he didn’t suffer any hardships. he just felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but she had to take care of such a small matter.

After taking a few deep breaths, his eyes no longer felt so sore. He then walked in the direction of the school.

The apartment was more than a 20-minute walk from the restaurant where they had their meal. Shi Yan did not walk very fast, and it took about 30 minutes to reach.

However, she received a message from Jiang che ten minutes after she left.

Jiang che was at the gym outside the estate and told her to go find him directly after she had eaten.

they had just moved to the neighborhood a few days ago when jiang che applied for a membership card at this gym. if he was not too busy, he would take one or two hours out of his day to exercise when shi yan went to school.

He had eaten dinner earlier today because he knew that Shi Yan had an appointment. He had been busy the whole day and didn’t have time to go to the gym, so he went over at this time.

About three hundred meters away from the gym, Shi Yan could already see the gym’s Billboard. Just then, someone called out to her.

“younger cousin shi yan.”

It was Gu Yi.

He was holding a business bag in his hand and was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He seemed to have just finished a business meeting.

Shi Yan stopped.

it’s really you! Gu Yi quickly walked towards her. I thought I was mistaken.

“master gu.”

“I already said that your cousin and I are friends. You don’t have to treat me like an outsider. You can call me whatever you like.”

“What are you doing here alone? it’s getting dark, it’s not safe for you to be here alone. Where were they going? i’ll send you there, my car is parked there, it’s just a few steps away.”
