Chapter 106 Gossiping

Tan Zaozao's funeral was seven days after the award ceremony.

At this time, the weather was already in the middle of summer, and the funeral was held in a lush pine forest. Zhi, who was lying on the trunk and made a loud cry, made the atmosphere even more quiet. Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu, dressed in formal attire, followed at the back of the crowd.

It was a grand funeral. There are Tan Zaozao's colleagues, Tan Zaozao's relatives and friends, and even her fans. The media were stopped outside the cemetery, but there were still people trying to sneak in and get first-hand news of the funeral.

Lin Qiushi was very silent. He watched Tan Zaozao's ashes being put into the cemetery and sealed with cement. On the tombstone is a photo of her smiling, with red lips and white teeth, and a full smile.

Her time is frozen in her most beautiful moment.

All of this is so unreal that Lin Qiushi even thought it was a bad joke. Tan Zaozao would visit them, bring a mess of fruit, and chat with Cheng Qianli on the sofa.

Cheng Qianli also came to attend the funeral, and he stood with Cheng Yixie. The two stood at the other end of the crowd, with only loneliness on their faces. Whenever someone sees someone dying inside the door, people outside the door will always feel a sense of sadness. Because maybe the next person to lie down in this cold coffin will be themselves.

After the funeral, Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu returned to the villa.

For a period of time, the atmosphere in the villa was very depressed, and almost every channel on the TV program was broadcasting about Tan Zaozao's funeral.

There are many stars who died because of accidents, but only Tan Zaozao died at the awards party and in front of all the fans.

So everything was expanded, people who might not have known Tan Zaozao at all became her fans, and the distributor took the opportunity to announce the remake of Tan Zaozao's early films on Blu-ray... The funeral turned into a carnival.

Lin Qiushi was a witness to this carnival.

Sitting on the sofa, he saw Tan Zaozao's friends being interviewed and questioned, talking about the days when they met Tan Zaozao, no matter what they thought, at least at this moment, they were Tan Zaozao Zao's best friend - although he doesn't even know how his friend died.

Cheng Qianli picked up the phone and changed the channel with a gloomy expression, he said, "Why is this happening."

Lin Qiushi touched his head.

"They are so annoying." Cheng Qianli said.

Lin Qiushi said, "Yes, they are so annoying."

In the evening, a guest came to the villa.

Bai Ming and Zhang Yiqing knocked on the door of the villa, which was opened by Ruan Nanzhu.

"Nanzhu, long time no see." Bai Ming greeted Ruan Nanzhu with a smile.

Ruan Nanzhu nodded, gave way to the door, and signaled for the two to come in.

Lin Qiushi raised his eyes and saw that Zhang Yiqing's face was not good-looking. He should be one of Tan Zaozao's best friends, otherwise Tan Zaozao would not have come forward and asked Ruan Nanzhu to take Zhang Yiqing through the door.

Only now, Tan Zaozao is gone.

"I have something I want to tell you, and I'll bring him over to visit by the way." Bai Ming said.

"Let's go." Ruan Nanzhu and Bai Ming went to the study upstairs.

Zhang Yiqing walked to the sofa next to Lin Qiushi and sat down. He looked a lot thinner than what he saw at the funeral, but his temperament still seemed very sharp, which was out of tune with the surrounding environment.

Lin Qiushi didn't talk to him, but he just ate the snacks on the table one after another.

"Tan Zaozao's last door, did you accompany her to enter?" After a long silence, Zhang Yiqing suddenly spoke.

"No." Lin Qiushi said, "Obsidian doesn't answer the sixth door." After he said this, he thought Zhang Yiqing would aggressively continue to ask questions, but he didn't expect that he just lowered his eyes and made a low voice. .

So the atmosphere became quiet again.

According to Lin Qiushi's previous temperament, he should have found some topics to ease the embarrassment. But now he didn't want to say anything, just wanted to sit quietly. As for the embarrassment... just let it go.

Bai Ming and Ruan Nanzhu talked for a long time, and they didn't know what they were talking about. When Bai Ming finally came down from the study, Bai Ming smiled, but Ruan Nanzhu kept his usual expressionless face.

"I won't let you eat." Ruan Nanzhu said.

Bai Ming nodded with a smile and said, "Let's go, Yiqing."

Zhang Yiqing hummed, stood up from the sofa, and followed Bai Ming away.

Lin Qiushi looked at Ruan Nanzhu and said, "What did he come to you for?"

"He's here to buy clues." Ruan Nanzhu said, "He's going to take Zhang Yiqing to the door."

Lin Qiushi: "..." He thought of something.

Ruan Nanzhu said in a light voice, "Actually, after that time, I contacted Tan Zaozao, but she refused."

Lin Qiushi knew what Ruan Nanzhu meant, that time it meant that at the movie premiere, Tan Zaozao begged Ruan Nanzhu to continue taking her through the door. Ruan Nanzhu did not agree - he couldn't make fun of himself and his members' lives. The sixth door has undergone a qualitative change. If one is not careful, he will die inside. It is impossible for him to enter with a vulnerable teammate.

Tan Zaozao doesn't like going in the door, it's normal, no one likes going in the door.

Ruan Nanzhu then asked Tan Zaozao that she still had the last chance. There are still several months before her sixth door. As long as she continues to enter with Ruan Nanzhu during this time, Ruan Nanzhu promised her to go through the sixth door with her.

But Tan Zaozao refused.

Lin Qiushi said, "Why did she refuse?"

Ruan Nanzhu said: "Not everyone is as courageous as you, she is just an ordinary person."

Lin Qiushi smiled bitterly.

For some people, entering the door is more uncomfortable than dying. He didn't notice that under Tan Zaozao's smile, the heart that had been eroded by fear.

There are no friends, but life is still to be lived.

Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi didn't hide anything after they were together. The two generously started holding hands in the villa, hugging, and doing things that lovers should do.

The villa is full of human spirits, so it is impossible not to see such an obvious change in the atmosphere. Yi Manman patted Lin Qiushi on the shoulder in admiration, and said, "Awesome, Brother Ruan was taken by you."

Lin Qiushi said with a smile: "Yeah, it's pretty awesome, I think it's pretty awesome too."

Cheng Qianli was the last one to understand. He understood that it was because Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu were kissing in the yard one day.

The atmosphere that day was really good, the moon was bright and the breeze was blowing slightly. Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu sat in the yard chatting, and the two leaned together after chatting.

As soon as Cheng Qianli came back from the outside, as soon as he entered the yard, he let out that iconic scream - in the same tune as the screaming chicken.

"Fuck, fuck, am I dreaming!" Cheng Qianli said, "Fuck, fuck, why did I see Ruan Nanzhu kissing Lin Qiushi!!"

Cheng Yixie stood beside him: "What's your name..."

But it was too late for him to say this. Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi both raised their heads and looked over here.

Cheng Qianli: "They look at me!"

Cheng Yixie: "..." When you call it this way, who don't they look at you?

Lin Qiushi smiled and said hello to Cheng Qianli. Cheng Qianli made sure that he was not dreaming, or that he was still a little confused. He said, "Oh, good evening Qiu Shi, what are you two doing here? The weather is so nice today. ...

Cheng Yixie glanced at Cheng Qianli and wanted to rip off his younger brother's head to see if cotton was stuffed in his mind. He apologized to Lin Qiushi, and quickly took Cheng Qianli away. Cheng Qianli was still aggrieved when he was taken away, saying brother, can you be gentle. His wrists were scratched red.

Cheng Yixie sneered: "You didn't see your brother Ruan's expression?"

Cheng Qianli: "..."

Cheng Yixie said, "I'm afraid that I will take you away later, and you will be beaten to death on the spot by your brother Ruan."

Cheng Qianli recalled Ruan Nanzhu's gloomy eyes, and felt that what his brother said seemed very reasonable.

Lin Qiushi looked at the backs of the two and felt a little want to laugh. He said, "How did Cheng Qianli develop such a personality."

"It's not his brother's favor." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Sooner or later, something will happen to the favor."

Lin Qiushi: "Can your IQ be low?"

Ruan Nanzhu said: "This is innate."

Lin Qiushi laughed, he thought Cheng Qianli was cute, but at the same time he thought he was cute, he was a little worried about Cheng Qianli. After all, when you go through the door, those things won't show mercy to you just because they think you are cute.

"When is your eleventh door?" When it came to entering the door, Lin Qiushi suddenly remembered it.

Ruan Nanzhu glanced at Lin Qiushi: "It's still early."

Lin Qiushi: "When is it still early?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "It's about the next year."

Lin Qiushi thought that was really early. However, the time interval between the last two doors was indeed very long. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way... I suddenly remembered that if I kept going through the door at the slowest speed, would I live the longest?"

Ruan Nanzhu was a little helpless when he heard Lin Qiushi's words: "Why did you only think of this question now?"

Lin Qiushi smiled dryly: "Didn't you notice it before?"

"No." Ruan Nanzhu said, "For example, if you jump directly from the third door to the sixth door, then the time you go to the seventh door is counted from the third door."

Lin Qiushi let out a long sigh, thinking that it was no wonder so many people wanted to jump out of the door. If the door jumped successfully, it would almost extend his life for a long time, and there was no need to worry about crossing the door during the period. Really high risk, high reward.

Lin Qiushi really wanted to ask what Ruan Nanzhu encountered in the tenth door, but thinking that Ruan Nanzhu had been depressed for a long time after coming out of that door, he felt that it might be inappropriate for him to ask this way.

"If I can, I want to enter the tenth door again." Ruan Nanzhu suddenly said.

"What?" Lin Qiushi was a little surprised, "Why do you want to..."

Ruan Nanzhu looked at Lin Qiushi, silent for a moment, and said, "I got the clue to the eleventh fan."

Lin Qiushi still doesn't understand, isn't it a good thing to get a clue, why is Ruan Nanzhu taking risks? Could it be that the clue is so difficult that Ruan Nanzhu dare not even try it?

"The clues I got are very wrong." Ruan Nanzhu said, "So I want to see if there is a problem with my door or the clues."

"Okay." Lin Qiushi said, he thought for a while, then remembered that his next door was the tenth door, and he doubted, "Is there really a problem? You didn't mean to say that to stay with you. me?"

Ruan Nanzhu said: "Am I the kind of person who does good deeds without leaving a name?"

This is true, Lin Qiushi laughed: "It really doesn't look like it."

The ninth door was passed by Lin Qiushi and Cheng Yixie together, but because Lin Qiushi jumped over a lot of doors, his tenth door will take a long time to enter. Cheng Yixie's next door is about It looks like it will be after next year, Lin Qiushi said, "Are we going in with Yixie?"

Ruan Nanzhu shook his head: "No, he won't come in with us."

Lin Qiushi was a little surprised: "Why—"

Ruan Nanzhu: "He has to take thousands of miles through the tenth door alone."

"What?" Lin Qiushi was stunned, he even thought he had heard it wrong, "What did you say?"

"He wants to take Qianli through the tenth door alone." Ruan Nanzhu repeated, this time Lin Qiushi heard it clearly, "Go directly to help Qianli jump to the eleventh door."

Lin Qiushi: "..." He remembered Cheng Qianli's silly appearance, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

"I persuaded." Ruan Nanzhu said, "He doesn't listen, and I don't want to worry about it anymore."

Only then did Lin Qiushi remember the previous quarrel between Ruan Nanzhu and Cheng Yixie. It turned out to be because of this matter, but he didn't understand why Cheng Yixie made such a choice. According to Cheng Qianli's strength, entering the tenth door where Ruan Nanzhu has lost a layer of skin, isn't it doomed to be more unfortunate?

"There is nothing he can do." Ruan Nanzhu said, "He is afraid that he will leave first and will not be able to protect Cheng Qianli."

Lin Qiushi smiled bitterly.

Before Li Dongyuan's death, he did not have a clear understanding of the concept of death. Later, it was Wu Qi and Tan Zaozao. A series of accidents made him clearly realize that death was by his side and could come at any time.

The gift of the door is not unconditional, it can take back everything it has given at any time.

The dead are gone, and the life of the living must go on.

The impact of Tan Zaozao's death gradually subsided, and people's lives returned to calm.

Lin Qiushi found a time to go back to his hometown. He originally wanted to go back alone, but Ruan Nanzhu insisted on going back with him.

Lin Qiushi originally wanted to decline, but seeing Ruan Nanzhu's firm attitude, he agreed.

At this time, it had been five years since Lin Qiushi had returned to his hometown. The last time he went back was because of the death of his grandmother. After that, he almost lost contact with his family.

Lin Qiushi's parents divorced, and then the two sides re-established their own families, so Lin Qiushi became an extra person, neither side wanted to see him, and Lin Qiushi rarely contacted them.

It was already autumn when they returned to Lin Qiushi's hometown. The hot weather gradually cooled down. The streets were covered with a layer of yellow leaves. After Lin Qiushi left the airport, he looked at the unfamiliar scenery around him and sighed: "I haven't come back for a long time. , I have forgotten what my hometown looks like."

Ruan Nanzhu didn't speak, and observed the surroundings.

"Let's go, let's go to visit grandma's grave first." Lin Qiushi had already planned when he came, "I'll visit my mother later..." He paused for a moment and smiled, "But I can't remember her address. ."

Ruan Nanzhu looked at him: "Can I check it for you?"

Lin Qiushi said: "Wow, you can find all this?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "I gave enough money, why can't I find it?"

Lin Qiushi said, "I brought you back, why did you help me find my way?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "What does that matter."

He said that he would look for it, took out his mobile phone and dialed, and provided some information to the person on the other end of the phone. Lin Qiushi looked at him from the side. Although he was a little embarrassed, he had to admit that Ruan Nanzhu was really good-looking, and even his expressionless face was so attractive. Even the people who passed by around would pretend to look here a few more times inadvertently.

It's like peeking at some big star.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiushi laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Ruan Nanzhu hung up the phone and just saw the teasing smile on Lin Qiushi's face.

"No." Lin Qiushi said, "Someone told you, are you good-looking?" He stretched out his hand and tapped Ruan Nanzhu's straight nose with his fingertips, "It's very beautiful."

Ruan Nanzhu raised his eyebrows: "So?" He leaned in front of Lin Qiushi, "You mean you like my face better?"

The desire to survive made Lin Qiushi feel the danger hidden in these words, he said: "No, no, am I such a superficial person? Of course I like your soul!"

Ruan Nanzhu: "Oh."

Lin Qiushi: "..." It scared him to death.

After a while, Ruan Nanzhu was given a message there, saying that the address of Lin Qiushi's mother had been found.

Lin Qiushi said, "Let's go."

Ruan Nanzhu nodded.

They took a taxi to where the address was and knocked on the door. A few minutes later, the door opened, revealing the face of a middle-aged woman. She saw Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu, with a little doubt in her eyes: "May I ask who you are?"

Lin Qiushi called out, "Mom."

The woman was stunned for a while, then hesitantly said, "Are you... Qiu Shi?"

Lin Qiushi nodded: "Yeah." He said, "I'll visit my grandmother's grave when I come back, and stop by to have a look."

"Oh..." the woman said, "Then come in and sit down." She looked at Lin Qiushi with completely unfamiliar eyes, as if she had completely forgotten that she had such a son. It is no wonder that since Lin Qiushi's parents divorced, he has hardly lived with his mother, and they had little contact in the next few years.

Ruan Nanzhu had always wondered how Lin Qiushi developed such a character. Now that he saw his mother, most of his doubts were resolved.

Mother Lin poured tea for them politely, and a curious girl's face appeared at the door of the bedroom. She called out, "Mom, who is this?"

"This is your brother, Lin Qiushi." Mother Lin introduced embarrassingly, "He came to see mother."

The girl had heard of this half-brother, but she almost never met Lin Qiushi, she said, "Oh...that's it."

"You go and read the book." Mother Lin said, "Mid-term exams are coming..." She recited for a while, then remembered that there were two guests at home, and quickly changed the subject.

Said to be mother and son, but more polite than strangers.

Lin Qiushi sat for a while, then got up to leave after drinking a cup of tea, rejecting Mother Lin's invitation to have lunch together.

Ruan Nanzhu didn't speak much the whole time. He was so aura that his expressionless face made Mother Lin dare not talk to him at all.

After he came out, he said, "Would you like to go see your father?"

Lin Qiushi said, "No need." There was not much sadness on his face, but more helplessness. "It seems that there is no need to worry about this place in the future." son.

Ruan Nanzhu reached out and held Lin Qiushi's hand, and gently ticked in his palm: "It really can't be..."

Lin Qiushi: "Huh?"

Ruan Nanzhu said: "I feel wronged to be your father?"

Lin Qiushi: "..." Ruan Nanzhu, can you stop being a hooligan with this face.

Seeing Lin Qiushi's expression, Ruan Nanzhu smiled: "Why are you so cute."

Lin Qiushi thought that you have really changed. You used to be so serious when you were outside the door, but why is it like this now.

It was getting late, and the two casually found a roadside stall and ordered some food. Ruan Nanzhu did not allow Lin Qiushi to drink, but Lin Qiushi said that he was as strong as a cow now, not to mention drinking. It is no problem to put Ruan Nanzhu directly on the ground.

Ruan Nanzhu smiled but not smiled: "You drink so well?"

Lin Qiushi is actually quite average in drinking, but men, they all pay attention to face, so he bites the bullet and nods: "Yes, very good."

"Come on then." Ruan Nanzhu said, "I want to see who gets down first."

So he directly asked the boss to carry a case of beer, and the two began to drink and eat.

Such a beautiful time, the weather was just right, the sun had just set on the horizon, the wind was cool, and when they looked up, they could see red burning clouds hanging above their heads. The noisy voices around are not noisy, but more of a breath of life.

Lin Qiushi remembered a sentence.

In the world, apart from life and death, which one is not a trivial matter. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Ruan Nanzhu with a smile.

Ruan Nanzhu didn't know what he was laughing, and he was still chewing the freshly roasted meat in his mouth. Because the meat was a bit spicy, his lips were red and bright, and it looked delicious and delicious, so Lin Qiushi looked at him with a brighter smile, and he opened his mouth. Said: "Ruan Nanzhu."

Ruan Nanzhu looked up at him and hummed.

Lin Qiushi said, "Do you know that you are now..."

Ruan Nanzhu raised his eyebrows.

Lin Qiushi lowered his voice: "It looks delicious?"

Ruan Nanzhu put down the glass in his hand. He knew that Lin Qiushi was lying when he said that his wine was good. He didn't believe that Lin Qiushi dared to say such a sentence when he was sober.

The author has something to say: Do you think the door is separated from reality? In fact, when I went to a door in the real world, I prepared a lot of emotional scenes (scratch my head, deal with the real world, and enter the door in the next chapter~

After modifying the bug, Lin Qiushi's ten doors should still be a long time, not years later.
