Deer in the forest in early autumn

three days later
F City, God's Song Club.

"Shen Yang, did you buy my iced Americano for me?"
"Shen Yang, Brother Duan said the network signal in the club is stuck. Go contact the maintenance staff."
"Shen Yang, don't forget that you haven't picked up my express delivery for me today."
……
Shen Yang didn't expect that after he finally entered the God's Song Team through the qualifiers, he would face such a situation.

Not much training, but a lot of chores.
Is this the treatment for newcomers?

He frowned and was about to say something, but swallowed it back. "Okay."
Only one heavy word remained in the air. After he finished speaking, he turned and left the hall.

Unexpectedly, I bumped into someone.
Shen Yang looked up and saw the serious-looking deputy captain Chi Yan.
"I'm sorry... Lieutenant."

The man opposite waved his hand, snorted, and let Shen Yang go.
At this time in the team hall, Xuhui of the Song of God team said, "Captain Chi, this new guy has no sense of propriety at all. How could he bump into you?"

Chi Yan adjusted his glasses and looked deeply at the direction where Shen Yang had just left: "It's time to teach this ignorant newcomer a lesson."

Eight o'clock in the evening, Ye Sen Bar.
Inside the box, Shen Yang had already been forced to drink his seventh glass of wine by the person next to him.

"Shen Yang, drink. How can a newcomer not give Duan Ge face?"
Ding ding. Shen Yang's phone rang.
There is new information——

"Sorry, I need to go to the restroom." Shen Yang found an excuse and came to the corridor outside the box amid the laughter of the crowd.

He stepped on the wool carpet under his feet.
It was much more comfortable than the cold marble floor in the box just now.

Turn on your phone.
Wow——[Congratulations on winning the first prize, a plasma TV. Please contact 130……]

Spam message, one.
Shen Yang frowned and raised his hand to press the delete key.
It's ridiculous that scammers still use the same tricks these days.

Just after deleting the text message, he was about to go back into the box where the team was just now. As soon as he put his hand on the cold door handle, he heard the undisguised discussions of the people inside.
"Brother Duan, I think Shen Yang doesn't know yet that he has lost all chances to play. This time, the new team members are just chores."
"Hahahaha. Captain Chi said that it would be better to leave him alone for a few months. He was not even allowed to go to regular training."
"Hahaha, what a whimsical newcomer, he even wants to play in the competition."

"Bang." The door of the box room was opened.
Shen Yang's eyes seemed to be burning with fire. "You bunch of hypocritical people..." Before he could finish his words, he was punched in the face, and his face instantly burned with pain.

After a moment, he punched back. Xu Hui on the opposite side also had a bruise on his face. "Okay, Shen Yang, you are so ignorant. You dare to hit me. Let's see who has the harder fist."

There was chaos in the box.
Wine glasses, wine bottles, and fruit plates were all scattered on the ground, and the trash can was tilted all over the place, making the whole place a mess.

Shen Yang and Xuhui were still struggling, and accidentally the jukebox in the box was smashed by a flying wine bottle.
"Brother Duan, what...what should we do?" Xuhui stopped, staggered back a step, smiled bitterly, and looked at Captain Duanchen in embarrassment.

Ye Sen Bar, the consumption is extremely high-end.
This will result in huge losses.
"Shen Yang, how could you accidentally break someone's jukebox?" Chi Yan said coldly.

The people around him quickly came to their senses and echoed, "Yes, Shen Yang, we all saw it."

Shen Yang was so angry that his hair was messy and he couldn't hide the anger in his eyes.

"You slander me!" He looked up at the people of the God of Light Team in front of him with a sanctimonious look.
The filter that I had for the God's Song team over the years collapsed at this moment.

It seemed as if a new round of competition between the two sides was about to break out. At this time, the door of the box was opened and a waiter walked in.
He checked the jukebox and then said, "Dear customers, our store will compensate for the damaged items according to the price. This jukebox is fifty thousand."

Duanchen nodded and said, "Shen Yang, you are responsible for damaging the jukebox." Then he walked out of the box.

When the members of the God's Song team saw that the captain Duanchen had spoken, they immediately followed his steps and hurriedly left the box.
In the end, the only people left in the box were the dumbfounded waiter and Shen Yang who was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Sir, please pay the compensation... please go to the front desk." After being stunned for a long time, the waiter wiped the sweat dripping from his head and looked at the only person left in front of him who was injured and angry.

Shen Yang walked to the front desk with an extremely unhappy step.
Compensation, he didn't even have 3,000 yuan on him now. At this moment, he was a little at a loss. How about borrowing some money from his sister Shen Yanqiu? No, he just asked Shen Yanqiu for some money last time. He thought about it and shook his head. Besides, it wasn't him who broke the jukebox, but how to get out of it today? Confusing, Shen Yang's face exuded a chill under the light.

"Hello, Mr. Lin." The waiter in front of him said to the back of him.
"Lin Sen'an?" Shen Yang turned his head and looked up to see Lin Sen'an appear in Yesen Bar, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He spoke uncertainly.

Lin Sen'an didn't seem too surprised. He walked over to the waiter and whispered something.
The waiter immediately understood and nodded. Then, Lin Sen'an said slowly, "Shen Yang, protect yourself when you go out. Your sister will be worried." After that, he left.

Shen Yang was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Before he could recover, he heard the waiter's words slowly coming to his ears, "Sir, our Director Lin said that you don't have to pay compensation. Today's matter ends here. You are welcome to come to Ye Sen next time."

Ding ding, at this time Shen Yang's phone received several new messages.
He scratched his head and looked down: [Shen Yang, where have you been these days? No news at all. If you have no money, just tell your sister, stupid.]
[You haven't been bullied when you're out, have you? If anyone dares to bully you, I'll protect you. ]
Ding dong.
Shen Yanqiu transferred 5000 yuan to you.

Sister, you are worried about me again just as someone said.
[Sister, I'm fine.] Shen Yang wiped the wound on her face from the fight, muttering "It hurts." She clicked on the message and sent it successfully.

Shen Yanqiu looked at the message Shen Yang had just replied to on his phone, feeling a little uneasy.
I don't know why, but I've been feeling uneasy since I woke up today.

I guess it’s because I haven’t seen Shen Yang for too long.
I don't know how he is doing recently. Why not make an appointment with him in a few days?
This little brother has been a troublesome and worry-free person since he was young.

"By the way, there is still one painting left in the illustration series!"
I have no inspiration, what should I do? Shen Yanqiu put away her phone and lay down on the white desk with her head down. After a while, she slowly sat up and put her lightly shrunken hair behind her ears. She picked up the paintbrush on the table and casually sketched a pattern on the white paper.

The exhibition is less than a week away.
My own illustration series is almost ready, except for the last oil painting about missing someone.
Qiu, a terminal procrastinator, please don't rush to finish the manuscript at the last minute this time.

Shen Yanqiu's beautiful face had a hint of sadness in her eyes at this moment.
Suddenly Mochi came into the room meowing.
Shen Yanqiu stretched out his hands and shouted to Moshu: "Moshu, come up quickly and give me a hug."

Mochi raised his head and blinked his big round eyes.
"Meow." It jumped directly onto Shen Yanqiu, with a lot of orange-yellow hair that had just fallen still left in the air.

Shen Yanqiu touched the soft and fluffy cat fur with her clean and slender fingers. "Moshu, you are so good."

After a while, Mochi had fallen asleep in Shen Yanqiu's arms. Shen Yanqiu held Mochi in her arms and freed one hand. She touched the sunflower on the desk with her hand. Unexpectedly, this special sunflower really bloomed in winter.

Although the flower buds are small, they are very cute.
A sunflower in winter.

Ding Dong! The master is calling!
"Miss Orange, good evening." Shen Yanqiu answered the phone and spoke slowly and softly.
"Qiuqiu, how about we go to the beauty salon tonight? I heard that the one we went to last time just introduced a new magic bubble beauty treatment, which is super popular." Fang Cheng's voice was filled with excitement.

"Okay. Orange." Shen Yanqiu smiled slightly when she heard about bubble beauty. When you can't find inspiration, maybe you should relax. Besides, the gossip about Orange and Mr. Tang that she saw in the bookstore last time, this time she just had the opportunity to ask the person involved, Miss Orange.

"Qiuqiu, Uncle Chen will pick you up at No. 99 Beiyuan in ten minutes." Fang Cheng said and hung up the phone quietly.

Twenty minutes later.
Shen Yanqiu and Fang Cheng were lying comfortably on the exclusive leather sofa in the beauty salon.
My face was covered with white bubbles.

Listening to the soothing light music, Shen Yanqiu felt extremely relaxed.
Half an hour later, the foam was carefully wiped away by the clerk.

"Orange, I didn't expect this magic bubble facial to be so good. It's quite relaxing."
"Yes." Fang Cheng looked at himself in the mirror, his face that had just been covered with magic bubbles.

"Qiuqiu, the low-budget TV series I starred in last time had good ratings." She looked at her flawless fair skin, a charming smile on her face, her fox-like eyes curved like the crescent moon.

"It's just that I always run into an enemy recently." Fang Cheng seemed to have thought of something and bit her lip.
"Who is it?" Shen Yanqiu thought to himself, this enemy of Chengzi couldn't be Tang Jiaochen!

"This man's name is Tang Jiaochen."
Sure enough, it was him. "Chengzi, how did you and Tang Jiaochen become enemies?" Shen Yanqiu couldn't help but be curious and continued to ask with blinking eyes.

"Mr. Tang was not satisfied with being an investor every day, so he became a screenwriter. Unexpectedly, he was involved in eight of the ten dramas I participated in. In the end, all of them lost money. However, he has been haunting me recently, and he is no longer involved in the screenwriting. He just took on the same reality variety show with me."

"So does this Tang Jiaochen... like you, Orange?" Shen Yanqiu asked cautiously.
"Never mind him, he's a playboy. Only a fool would like him. Besides, we don't get along, so there's no way we can be together." Fang Cheng said solemnly.

Shen Yanqiu nodded silently.
But it seems... I've known Orange for so long, but this is the first time I've heard her talk about the opposite sex for so long.
Could these two be a pair of bickering lovers?
