The film and television city starts from the courtyard

a few days later.

When Zhao Shucheng arrived at the coffee shop, he saw that Zuo Yongbang and Luo Shuquan had already arrived, and Luo Shuquan looked completely exhausted.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but laugh. Not only did Luo Shuquan not get to eat any meat, but he also turned himself into a big joke.

During class, he actually stood in front of the blackboard, holding the chalk, and fell asleep. Xiaoxiao couldn't stand the quiet in the classroom any longer, so she threw a note at Luo Shuquan, which hit him on the back of the head and woke him up.

Luo Shuquan didn't even realize he was still in the classroom. He raised his hands and shouted to his classmates, "I didn't do anything! I didn't do anything!"

Today is a gathering organized by Luo Shuquan, who wants Zhao Shucheng and the others to help him think of a solution. He really doesn't want things to continue like this.

After hearing this, Zuo Yongbang almost laughed, but seeing Luo Shuquan's miserable state, he could only say, "It's not convenient for Xiaobai to stay there, otherwise, where would you like to stay with me?"

Seeing Luo Shuquan's grateful gaze, Zuo Yongbang instinctively looked away and said, "You don't have any designs on me, do you?"

Luo Shuquan said, "No, what are you thinking? Is that how you comfort someone? Is this a friend? Is this a friend?"

"Alright, alright, even a rabbit will bite when cornered. Shuquan can't sleep at night and still has to go to work during the day. He'll eventually suffer from neurasthenia. We still need to think of a solution for him."

Zuo Yongbang said, "What can we do? Yang Jingjing is his girlfriend, and he agreed to live together. We can't just kick her out now, that would be breaking up with her. Besides, they're in a serious relationship, and she's comfortable living at Shuquan's house. What can we do? We've met Yang Jingjing before; she's a nice person and seems quite normal."

Seeing that Luo Shuquan still looked utterly hopeless, he said, "Oh, she's just still traumatized by her last relationship. Give her some time, okay?"

"But you've said so much, yet you haven't gotten to the point."

Zhao Shucheng said, "What's so hard about that? Just talk to her openly and honestly, tell her your concerns, and ask her to give you some time to rest. For example, sleep together every other day, and there won't be any problems."

"Xiaobai, don't apply your experience to others. This situation is not suitable for Shuquan."

Zhao Shucheng said, "I don't think there's anything inappropriate about it. You could say Shuquan is well-rounded in terms of moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor education, but Yang Jingjing punched him in the groin—a man's groin. So, to solve the problem, we need to act decisively, not just endure it."

Luo Shuquan suddenly realized that Zhao Shucheng's words made a lot of sense, but he didn't dare to say such a thing to her face. So he started to move Yang Jingjing with his actions. He bought her breakfast in the morning, squatted down next to her as if he were keeping vigil and waiting for her to wake up. He even booked a restaurant for dinner in the evening.

Zhao Shucheng felt that Luo Shuquan was doing something futile. After all, if he couldn't resolve the conflict between Luo Shuquan and Yang Jingjing and understand Yang Jingjing's true thoughts, then everything he did would be superfluous.

Just as Zhao Shucheng had expected, Luo Shuquan and Yang Jingjing had a wonderful date and it seemed they were about to take things to the next step.

Especially after Yang Jingjing and Luo Shuquan returned home, Yang Jingjing's attitude changed drastically, and she even took the initiative to say that she was going to take a shower.

This excited Luo Shuquan greatly, but just then, Yang Jingjing's phone received a text message notification. It turned out to be from Zuo Yongbang, containing only two words: "Oh no!"
This made Luo Shuquan extremely anxious. He wanted to know why Yang Jingjing and Zuo Yongbang had gotten in touch and what they had talked about. So, after much effort, Luo Shuquan finally opened Yang Jingjing's phone and saw all the text messages. But what he saw was like a bolt from the blue, leaving him feeling completely disoriented.

He felt betrayed and deceived. He loved her so much, so why did she have to date someone else, even a platonic relationship?

When Yang Jingjing came out, she saw Luo Shuquan holding her phone with a surprised expression, which made her realize that she could no longer hide it.

Both of them were frozen in place, unsure of what to say or do. Yang Jingjing wanted to explain, but didn't know what to say, and could only watch Luo Shuquan throw his phone away and run off.

After leaving home, Luo Shuquan pressed the elevator button with trembling hands, his eyes stinging. Time seemed to drag on endlessly, and the elevator seemed to be taking forever to arrive, as if it were deliberately making him die with his eyes open in disbelief.

Finally, Luo Shuquan got out of the elevator, ran down the corridor, rushed to Zhao Shucheng's door, and pounded on the door desperately.

Zhao Shucheng released Amy with some helplessness and said, "It looks like we can't continue today. Shuquan is here, it must be about Yang Jingjing again."

"What happened to them?"

"Who knows? Maybe she was used as a body pillow once and couldn't take it anymore, so she came to me to vent. You should go to the bedroom first."

When Zhao Shucheng opened the door, he saw Luo Shuquan, who seemed somewhat deranged, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Luo Shuquan looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Xiaobai, what should I do?"

"What do you mean, 'what to do'? You have to tell me exactly what happened before I can help you figure out a solution, right?"

"Don't you think I've been good enough to Yang Jingjing? Why did she treat me like this?"

"What did she do to you? She still won't let you sleep with her, so you came here to torment me?"

"If only it were like that, but I accidentally saw her phone today, and she actually..."

When Zhao Shucheng heard Luo Shuquan's account of what had happened, he almost burst out laughing. After all, Luo Shuquan had almost crossed the line with Mi Qi before, and now Yang Jingjing wanted to have a spiritual relationship with Zuo Yongbang. Wasn't this karma coming full circle?

"No, Xiaobai, what's with that expression? You look down on me too?"

Without waiting for Zhao Shucheng to say anything, he suddenly turned around, closed the door, and ran away.

Zhao Shucheng paused for a moment, looked at the closed door, then at the direction of the bedroom, and said, "Amy, I'm going to check on the books. I'll be back in a bit."

"Fine, go ahead! But you too, Luo Shuquan is your good friend, and you're actually gloating over his misfortune. No wonder he's leaving."

Zhao Shucheng said, "Amy, what do you know? This is just karma."

"How does this relate to cause and effect, or reincarnation?"

"I didn't tell you this before, did I...?"

After hearing Zhao Shucheng mention Luo Shuquan and Mi Qi's affair, Amy looked at him in surprise and asked, "Wait, shouldn't this kind of thing be kept quite secret? Would Luo Shuquan really tell you something like this?"

"Of course not." "Then how did you know? It couldn't have been Miki who told you, could it?"

"Why isn't it possible?"

Upon hearing this, Amy stared wide-eyed at Zhao Shucheng and asked, "So, besides the three of us, you also have a flirtatious relationship with Miki, which is why she told you this?"

Zhao Shucheng looked at Amy speechlessly and said, "What are you thinking? This was just something I said unintentionally. I didn't want to see Shuquan and Zuo Yongbang have a conflict, so I kept it from them. Okay, now is not the time to talk about this. I'm going to go find Shuquan. Don't do anything rash."

"Then you go ahead, or I'll go back first today. I think you two still have a lot to talk about."

"No need. He probably wants to calm down and doesn't want us to see his vulnerable side."

With that, Zhao Shucheng changed his clothes and prepared to go find Luo Shuquan. He first went downstairs to Luo Shuquan's home, but only saw Yang Jingjing packing her things. Luo Shuquan was nowhere to be found. He then went to search the neighborhood, but still couldn't find any trace of Luo Shuquan.

The next day.

After a night, Zhao Shucheng thought Luo Shuquan should have calmed down a bit, but then he received a message from Xiaoxiao that Luo Shuquan hadn't gone to work. He could only call Luo Shuquan and knock on his door, but still couldn't find him.

Zhao Shucheng had guessed that Luo Shuquan was hiding at home, but since Luo wouldn't open the door, he couldn't just rush in. As the saying goes, the one who tied the knot must untie it. This matter was related to Zuo Yongbang, and only Zuo could explain things clearly.

Zuo Yongbang never expected things to develop to this point. He had already rejected Yang Jingjing and didn't even plan to tell anyone about it, so as not to affect Luo Shuquan's relationship with Yang Jingjing.

After rushing to Zhao Shucheng's house and learning the situation, he could only follow Zhao Shucheng to Luo Shuquan's door again, but no one answered after knocking.

After Zhao Shucheng knocked on the door, there was no response from inside. Although Luo Shuquan knew that he might be even less willing to open the door if he knocked, he still went up and knocked, saying:

“Shuquan, this is Zuo Yongbang. If you open the door now, let’s talk things out and not keep things bottled up inside.”

Upon hearing Zuo Yongbang's voice, Luo Shuquan suddenly felt a little guilty, especially when he saw that the TV was still on, so he quickly turned down the volume.

Hearing the TV volume inside turn down, Zhao Shucheng sighed and said, "Alright, he's inside. Right now, he doesn't want to open the door for us or see us. Let's go back first and wait for him to calm down before we talk."

Zuo Yongbang didn't expect Zhao Shucheng to say that, but seeing Zhao Shucheng's eyes, he immediately understood that he was trying to provoke Luo Shuquan, and quickly said:

"Shuquan, we're all brothers, there's nothing we can't talk about. Open the door now, let's have a good talk."

Seeing that there was still no response, Zuo Yongbang suddenly started banging on the door excitedly and said:

"Luo Shuquan, what's the meaning of hiding like this? Are you a coward? It's just a woman, is it really worth making such a fuss over? You won't open the door, huh? Fine, let's just leave it at that. Yang Jingjing wanted to be with me, right? I agreed. You just stay in the house. I'll take over. You don't need to be sad. It'll save everyone some energy, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere inside finally calmed down. The door was suddenly pulled open, and Luo Shuquan stood in the doorway, trembling and glaring fiercely at Zuo Yongbang.

Zuo Yongbang, however, was not afraid at all. He even walked up to Luo Shuquan, smiled provocatively, and said:

"So, what do you think of my suggestion? Not bad, right?"

Luo Shuquan couldn't say a word, he just felt like he was about to explode with anger, so he rushed towards Zuo Yongbang, pushed him back, and even punched Zuo Yongbang.

After the punch landed, Luo Shuquan was stunned, and Zhao Shucheng was also somewhat surprised.

Zuo Yongbang simply coughed, straightened his clothes which Luo Shuquan had messed up, and said with a smile, "Alright, now that you've vented your anger, shouldn't we get down to business?"

Luo Shuquan didn't say anything, just glanced at Zuo Yongbang, and then went back into the house, but he was too lazy to close the door.

After Zhao Shucheng and Zuo Yongbang went inside, they saw Luo Shuquan, who remained silent, and then looked at Zuo Yongbang, who was wandering around the room as if nothing had happened. For the first time, Zhao Shucheng felt that being a spectator was actually quite enjoyable.

“Shuquan, I don’t think you should blame Zuo Yongbang for this. After all, it has nothing to do with him. He didn’t steal your girlfriend. Yang Jingjing sent the text message first, and Zuo Yongbang has already rejected her. He didn’t do anything wrong. You can’t blame him, do you understand?”

Luo Shuquan remained silent.

Zhao Shucheng sighed and said, "No, Luo Shuquan, what do you mean? This matter has nothing to do with Zuo Yongbang, and it has even less to do with me. What do you mean by acting like this with us?"

Just then, Luo Shuquan's phone rang. The group glanced at it and saw that it was Yang Jingjing calling. Luo Shuquan trembled, wanting to answer but not daring to.

Zuo Yongbang couldn't stand it anymore, so he hung up the phone, then made another call before saying:

"Okay, I've got everything arranged. I'll take you guys out to have some fun."

Luo Shuquan was passively led away by Zhao Shucheng and Zuo Yongbang, only to find out later that it was actually a KTV.

Once inside the private room, Zuo Yongbang had several beautiful women arranged for Zhao Shucheng and his companions to sit next to one of them.

The person next to Zuo Yongbang was singing enthusiastically, and Zuo Yongbang clapped along in response.

Luo Shuquan remained expressionless the entire time, sitting silently to the side and completely ignoring the beautiful woman's invitation.

Seeing this, Zhao Shucheng shook his head helplessly and walked over, saying, "No, Shuquan, are you really going to make such a fuss over a woman? Is it really worth it?"

"How could it not be? You're not me, you don't understand my feelings at all."

Zhao Shucheng said, "Who says I don't understand? But isn't this the result you wanted? In the beginning, they were in a spiritual relationship with you, but you insisted on having their body. Now they want to give you their body but keep their spirit for someone else, and you can't accept that?"

Luo Shuquan looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Is it all my fault?"

Zuo Yongbang also leaned in and said, "Shuquan, let me be honest with you, Yang Jingjing is simply not right for you, or rather, not right for anyone, because she doesn't even know what she wants. Maybe it's uncomfortable to hear this from you, but one day you'll know I'm telling the truth." (End of Chapter)
