A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 320 I’m in love

Soon, everyone who received the news gathered in Chen Jinnian’s cabin, preparing to have a hotpot dinner.

If the Sichuan and Chongqing regions represent spicy hotpot, then Beijing is deeply associated with mutton hotpot. If you don't know what to eat, then you can probably go wrong by ordering a mutton hotpot.

Not only did Wang Yidi, Huang Zhitao, and Ji Yangyang arrive quickly, but even Lin Lei'er, who had not been seen for a long time, squeezed out time from his busy schedule to attend in person.

"University bully, rare guest, it's really not easy to meet you."

Facing Chen Jinnian's teasing, Lin Lei'er shyly explained, "No, no, I still go home often. It just happened that you were not here when I came back."

"Alright, both of you stop blaming each other. One of you ran away for three months, and the other lives in school and refuses to leave." Qiao Yingzi rolled her eyes, interrupting their small talk. "What are you just standing there for? Go wash the dishes and mop the floor. I want to eat hot pot. I'm starving."

Chen Jinnian and Wang Yidi had not been home for three months and had been staying at their parents' house in Beijing for the past two days, so no one had cleaned the room and there was a thin layer of dust.

"Aren't you at home? How could Aunt Song let you go hungry?"

"What else can I say? Whenever my mom has some free time, she's always making soup for Aunt Tong. She can't take care of me at all. I either order takeout or go hungry.

"What?" After hearing Qiao Yingzi's complaints, Chen Jinnian leaned on the mop and looked over with surprise. The words "order takeout" have disappeared from the Qiao family. How could Song Qian tolerate Qiao Yingzi eating junk food?

"How can you order takeout?"

“Shouldn’t you ask me why we made soup for Aunt Tong?”

"I know." Chen Jinnian pointed at Lin Lei'er, "He's just my older brother. Please, I just went out for work for three months. It's not like I lost contact for three months. Thailand is a little backward, but they have internet access."

He had already known the news of Tong Wenjie giving birth from his circle of friends. After all, all four members of her family were posting pictures to celebrate, and it was hard for him not to see it.

Everyone quickly cleaned up the room, and after Ji Yangyang brought the mutton rolls and the takeout upstairs, the hot pot dinner officially started.

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them, and the crisp sound of glass could be heard.

After drinking, Huang Zhitao said: "Hey, it's really strange, we are always missing one person on New Year's Day."

Before New Year's Day last year, Wang Yidi participated in a training camp, and this year Fang Yifan was thousands of miles away from home to go to school.

"Don't mention it. Last year I believed your lies and stood in the cold wind for two hours waiting for the midnight countdown. I'm not going this year. Whoever wants to go can go."

Chen Jinnian felt depressed when he thought about these things. He was really glad that Wang Yidi was not there last year and did not do anything stupid with them.

"I'm not going either." Ji Yangyang followed closely behind. He didn't like to join in the fun. He went last year only because Huang Zhitao invited him and he couldn't refuse.

"I have to go."

Suddenly Lin Lei'er said something that stunned everyone present and they all turned their eyes to him. If this sentence was said by his cousin, no one present would be surprised. Everyone knew Fang Yifan's temperament too well, which can be seen from his nickname Fang Hou'er.

But it was Lin Lei'er who was speaking, which was really puzzling.

"What's the reason? You must have a reason." Chen Jinnian looked at him in confusion.

"Yeah, what are you going to do?"

"Are you going with your roommate?"

However, Lin Lei'er's roommates are all top students from all over the country. Any one of them is worthy of having a few more sentences written in the family tree. They are unlikely to participate in such a boring activity.

Facing everyone's questions, Lin Lei'er seemed extremely nervous. He put down the chopsticks in his hand, clenched his fists tightly, and his nails left clear marks on the palm of his hand. After preparing himself mentally, he mustered up the courage to speak.

"I...I, I'm in love."

Although the sound was very small, it was like a bomb dropped on the dining table, shocking everyone.

After a moment, Ji Yangyang was the first to react, "Being in love is a good thing. What are you worried about? When you have time, bring it out and let us see it."

"Yes, this is great news. I really want to know what kind of girl can capture the heart of our top student."

"When did this happen? Does your aunt know?"

Lin Lei'er raised his head, nervously pushed his glasses up, and continued, "She and I have been together since the beginning of the month. She is a student at our Academy of Fine Arts, and you have met her before."

A student from Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, I've seen him before.

After Lin Lei'er threw out the two key pieces of information, Chen Jinnian suddenly had an idea, a completely unrelated idea, "You mean Luo Qinghan? Your girlfriend is Luo Qinghan!"

Qiao Yingzi's face was filled with confusion. She also remembered that everyone had seen Luo Qinghan in the square on New Year's Eve last year.

But she knew more about the inside story. She looked at Chen Jinnian, then turned her head to look at Lin Lei'er, and finally her gaze stopped on Wang Yidi's face, who was also in a daze, and swallowed uncontrollably twice.

The melon tonight was too big and she could hardly eat it.

"Impossible, Luo Qinghan went to Gome."

Wang Yidi thought about it but didn't say it out loud. Although Chen Jinnian and Luo Qinghan no longer met, she had always kept in touch with each other privately, and they would occasionally talk about their current life and Chen Jinnian's past.

Luo Qinghan has completely let go of that youthful relationship, so there is no conflict between her and Wang Yidi.

"No, no, no, it's not her." Lin Lei'er quickly shook his hands and denied it.

It would have been fine if he didn't deny it. As soon as he denied it, Chen Jinnian stood up suddenly. With a "scratching" sound, the chair legs rubbed against the floor, causing a scream. When he stood up, he bumped into the dining table, causing the boiling hot pot soup to shake.

"Yang Jiajia, oh my god, your girlfriend is Yang Jiajia, you are crazy."

Everyone looked at the collapsed Chen Jinnian. They had never seen him lose his composure like this before, and the unfamiliar name made everyone confused.

"Actually, Jiajia, it's pretty good."

As the words of maintenance came out, everyone was sure that Chen Jinnian did know Lin Lei'er's girlfriend.

"I didn't say anything bad about Jia Jia. I don't even have any opinions or views on her current appearance. I'm Rui Sibai, you know what I mean, right? If you had met a few years ago, I would definitely wish you well, but you and her now just don't match."

After Chen Jinnian finished speaking, he grabbed Lin Lei'er and put his hand on his clothes to smell it.

Such an eye-popping scene made everyone amazed. Wang Yidi even reached out to grab her boyfriend and said, "Am I not fragrant enough? How dare you do this to a boy?"

Of course, there was nothing wrong with Chen Jinnian. He just wanted to confirm the fact that he smelled a mixture of fragrance and nicotine on Lin Lei'er's clothes, and Chen Jinnian remembered this smell very clearly.

It was the cigarette that Yang Jiajia smoked. Last year, she blew smoke rings at him, and the unpleasant smell lingered even after he changed his clothes and took a shower.

"It's Jia Jia, there's nothing wrong with the smell of cigarettes. You two are really together, and you even met today."
