B City.
At a certain high-class club.
Lin Yanchen arrived late. When he entered the private room, his buddies had already finished a round of drinking and the atmosphere was high.

When those drunkards saw him, they immediately came over to pull him and scolded him. "I thought that you, President Lin, were so busy that you forgot about us. You still remember to come?"
Lin Yanchen smiled calmly. "Today is Laozhan's celebration banquet. No matter what, I have to come."
There were no outsiders present, only seven or eight buddies who grew up together. When Lin Yanchen was in the band, the lead singer of the band was Zhan Hongyu. It was this brother who later fell from grace. Not only did he go bankrupt, but he also had a large amount of debt.
He didn't give up on himself, but he didn't have any other means to make money. He just had a good appearance and a good voice. When he was 19 years old, he plunged into the entertainment industry.
He probably had some luck in this aspect. After seven or eight years, not only did he pay off his debt, he also had a little fame. Last year, he worked hard to make a movie that was recognized. Last week, he went to an international film festival and won the title of Best Actor.
His buddies didn't alienate him when he was at his lowest and helped him a lot. This time, when he won the award, they even held a celebration banquet for him. A certain bad friend even pulled a banner over with the words "Congratulations, Mr. Zhan, for turning over a new leaf" and hung it on the wall, forcing him to thank him and take a photo with it.
Lin Yanchen said in an ordinary tone, "We originally agreed to sign a contract, but I specially pushed it back and rushed over."
When Zhan Hongyu heard this, he was stunned. He had been in the entertainment industry for so long and definitely didn't have a sense of propriety. He had long become a shrewd person. He asked nervously, "Ah?
You don't have to do this, right?
Why don't you hurry back? "
Lin Yanchen said expressionlessly, "I'm lying to you."
Everyone burst into laughter. "Hahahaha, Lao Lin, you're getting better at fooling people now."
In the past, Lin Yanchen was the most playful among them. He was the devil incarnate. He was the leader of all the destruction, and he was the type of bad guy. When he called everyone out on weekends, they thought he didn't do his homework, but he had already done it. Usually, to outsiders, his parents would call him "someone else's child," but everyone still liked Lin Yanchen and liked to play with him.
At the end of the year before last, Lin Yanchen's startup company went bankrupt. He felt that he had lost face and hid from his brothers for a while. Everyone knew that he was embarrassed and planned to look for him after a while … but after a while, they heard that Lin Yanchen was in love. Although they didn't know who it was, Lin Yanchen was smitten with her and fell for her for real. Everyone was still discussing when to urge him to release his precious wife for everyone to see, but in the end, Lin Yanchen quickly fell out of love again.
. was heartbroken. When they met again, they found out that Lin Yanchen's hair had turned white at a young age … no one dared to mention it.
Lin Yanchen's temperament changed greatly. It was as if he had grown up overnight. In the past, he was more or less like a teenager, as if he hadn't grown up. Now, he was still calm.
He didn't know what happened between him and his father, but their relationship eased a lot. Now, he was obediently working in the family business and slowly getting promoted.
This summer, he was sent to China to be the CEO of the division. Not only did he do well, but he also did very well. Lin Yanchen, on the other hand, was doing well. It was hard on the few of them who didn't want to work hard. All day long, their parents used Lin Yanchen's promising prospects to grind their eardrums until calluses grew on their ears.
In the blink of an eye, almost two years had passed. Lin Yanchen seemed to have walked out of the shadow of his heartbreak. He went to work normally and occasionally had time to eat and drink with his buddies. Oh, he could even joke around.
It was also at this time that his buddies felt that Lin Yanchen was still the same Lin Yanchen of the past. He just grew up to be a reliable man.
Everyone cheered, "Best Actor Zhan, sing a song!
Come, let's pick a song. "
"I heard that Best Actor Zhan can earn two million for one song. It sounds like a win."
"Wow, that's good. You're not allowed to leave until you sing eight to ten songs."
Zhan Hongyu asked, "Then what do you want to hear me sing?
Songs from my album. "
"I'm not listening to that. They play it on the streets every day. My company's employees play it. My mom sings it at home. It makes me sick.
I want to hear you sing something new. "
"That's good. I don't really want to sing either. I'm about to throw up."
Zhan Hongyu said, "How about this? I'll put up a song list on my music app on my phone. There are 50 songs that I listen to often. You guys can just name a number and I'll sing the song with that number."
His friend joked, "Why don't you just sing from the beginning to the end?"
Zhan Hongyu laughed heartily. "Hahahahaha, you wish."
They threw the dice and rolled six, six, five, which added up to 17. Hence, they sang the song with the number 17.
Lin Yanchen was originally watching them joke around. Suddenly, he heard Zhan Hongyu check the song list and say, "The seventeenth song is' Scarborough Fair. '"
The smile on Lin Yanchen's face froze. He couldn't laugh anymore.
Everyone was in high spirits. For a moment, no one noticed that his mood wasn't right.
The prelude to the music started. It was a simple guitar sound. It was obviously a beautiful melody, but Lin Yanchen felt that in the softest part of his heart, the wound that had been hidden for a long time, was suddenly torn open. It was as if it was dripping with blood. It hurt so much that his teeth chattered.
Chuxun.
Chuxun.
Chuxun.
When the person he loved the most in this world left, he sang this song for Chuxun.
At that time, he was silly and didn't think too much about it. Later, he realized Chuxun's determination to leave and love.
After all, this wasn't Lin Yanchen's private occasion. He didn't want to spoil his brother's mood.
But when he heard the song, "Remember to one who lived there, he was once a lover …", he suddenly broke down. He really couldn't help it.
He didn't want to listen to this song at all. Now that he heard it, he vaguely remembered something. At that time, he drank Chuxun's fruit juice with sleeping pills. But at first, he didn't completely fall asleep.
He vaguely remembered that Chuxun seemed to have hugged him at that time and sang 'Scarborough Fair' for him.
Lin Yanchen suddenly stood up. He restrained himself and said, "I … I'm a little uncomfortable. I have to go out and take a breath."
He walked further and further away. He casually sat down on a stool in the open air and took a deep breath.
After a while, Zhan Hongyu came over.
Lin Yanchen said, "I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me."
Zhan Hongyu sighed. "Then … if you're not feeling well, you can go home first."
Lin Yanchen felt that he really couldn't stay any longer. He didn't force him and said, "Okay, I won't be polite with you. I'm going back."
Lin Yanchen returned to his residence in B City.
When he got home, he found his father working in the living room. When he saw him, he even greeted him. "You're back."
Lin Yanchen nodded. "I'm back. Dad, have you eaten?"
"I've eaten."
"I'm going upstairs to rest."
"You're sleeping so early today?"
"I'm a little uncomfortable."
Although it was still business-like, at least it was a lot more relaxed. He didn't have a murderous aura when he saw him.
A year and a half ago, his father pulled him out from the pile of wine bottles and put him in front of the bathroom mirror. He forced him to look at his miserable appearance and scolded him. "Look at your face now. Do you think the person you like will like your ugly appearance?"
Lin Yanchen shook him off. His hair was messy and the whites of his eyes were red. He sat down against the wall and covered his face. "The person I love is dead … He's dead … Do you know?"
His father sat beside him and hugged his shoulders. He choked and said, "Sigh, I know … I understand … I understand …"
The father and son cried together. The next day, Lin Yanchen cleaned himself up and pulled himself together.
His father was right. Chuxun would never like him like that.
Lin Yanchen only turned on the bedside lamp.
A lonely and dim light shone in the darkness.
Lin Yanchen sat in the light and took out the framed portrait of Chuxun. Through the glass, he stroked Chuxun's face.
He said softly, "A Xun, you asked me how long I would be sad if you left … I haven't forgotten you at all. I'm still very, very sad."
"Have I become better now?
I'm working hard and living a good life. I won't quarrel with my father anymore. "
"Am I a good man worthy of your love?"
