Counting Laiyang and the three of them, there are only five living people left in the small theater.

Faced with a ninety-minute performance, the manpower was obviously insufficient, and the theater seemed to be at the end of its rope.

On the small blackboard backstage, Laiyang wrote with chalk: How to survive in the cold winter?

On this issue, everyone continued to discuss it until 5:30 in the afternoon.

The final result of the discussion was to find a way to negotiate a few commercial performances to make some money and maintain the development of the theater.

But after talking about the lease renewal issue, Li Dian and Yuan Sheng mostly looked at Laiyang in silence. Laiyang smoked one cigarette after another, but had no clue.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, everyone counted the number of tickets tonight and found that there were less than fifty tickets, and it was still a Sunday.

Everyone suddenly felt a bucket of cold water poured down on them, and they could all imagine the bleak situation in the next week.

"What should I do? Laiyang, what are you talking about? Can you smoke less cigarettes? You're almost choking to death." Yuan Shengda pinched his nose with one hand and pushed Laiyang with the other.

"Then I can't think about it without smoking. Go buy me a cup of milk tea and let me drink it and think about it."

Yuan Shengda slapped Laiyang on the back of the head and glared fiercely: "How about I pinch your feet to make you die comfortably?"

"Okay, come back after buying the milk tea and make it. Go, go, go." Laiyang frowned and pushed Yuan loudly.

She was so angry that she gasped, breathed a sigh of relief and asked what flavor she wanted to drink.

"I want taro mud Bobo milk tea, Li Dian, what do you want to drink?" Laiyang raised his head and asked.

Yuan Shengda's pretty face turned dark immediately. She probably didn't expect that this guy also included Li Dian. Li Dian smiled naively, pushed down his glasses and said: "Then give me a matcha, thank you~"

Yuan Sheng cursed and left, leaving the two of them alone in the background.

After Li Dian's smile gradually faded, he looked at Lai Yang, who was frowning: "Lai Yang, there is something I know doesn't sound good, but as a friend I have to say it."

"Let go." Laiyang said without raising his head.

Li Dian took a breath: "Actually, theater is business, so businessmen can't hang themselves on a tree. Now you can't do it in Tranquility. Hey~ In fact, even if it is done, it will be difficult for us to raise the money to renew the lease.

, and the tickets can’t be sold.”

Laiyang raised his head slightly, his face a little cold: "So you are planning to break up?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant. I just think you should find a part-time job with Sheng Dao. If I don't talk about anything else, let's just say Sheng Dao. She came to Shanghai to join you because she grew up with you.

It’s yours.”

Laiyang said nothing and looked at Li Dian.

"Let's be honest, with this beauty, if she can be a model, an extra, or even a receptionist, her life will be much better than now. Although you always treat her as a brother, she is still a woman.

Ah, she is still a beauty, but as a result, her pockets are very poor all day long. I heard that she can only eat rice noodles every night. Can you be satisfied with this? Now I estimate that the cost of two cups of milk tea will cost her a lot.

My flesh hurts."

These words were like needles, piercing Laiyang's face, but he controlled it well and did not let Li Dian see any fluctuations.

"Why doesn't she find a part-time job? Isn't she just afraid that you will feel sad, so she will bear it with you."

Li Dian also took out a cigarette and lit it: "Yesterday she asked me to borrow next month's rent, and she didn't let me say it, but you have to think about her."

The smoke drifted past Laiyang's eyes, like refreshing wine or refreshing tea. Laiyang's heart skipped a beat and his nose felt a little sour.

"Okay, I get it. You've thought too much about this matter. She's just lazy." Laiyang said this deliberately to relieve his own embarrassment.

Li Dian rolled his eyes at him and silently lowered his head to play with his mobile phone.

Laiyang looked at the blackboard in a daze, thinking about how to face Yuan Shengda later.

Take her milk tea and say thank you? Say it tastes good? Or... maybe pick a fight, have a quarrel, and discuss it in detail when you go back in the evening?

Just when he was in a trance, a cup of milk tea was suddenly handed to his mouth. The tube had been inserted in advance. Laiyang felt warm in his heart and took a sip.

"Huh? What is this? I want the taro mud Bobo milk tea, what kind of bargain did you buy!"

Laiyang raised his head to find fault, but when he raised his head and saw the face clearly, he almost fell off the high stool.

The woman standing in front of him at this moment is actually Tranquility?

Li Dian, who was on the side, was also holding a drink in his hand and stared at the two of them dumbfounded.

"What? I'll buy you a drink for free, don't you like it?" Tranquility's smile faded and she said a little coldly.

"No! I like it, it's just... this... that... no, why are you here?" Laiyang's mouth trembled for a moment.

Tranquility tucked a few strands of hair away from her ears, and the perfect curve of her neck appeared in front of her eyes. The delicate light makeup on her face was extremely beautiful, and the corners of her mouth raised a mesmerizing arc.

"Did you forget something?"

"Ah? What's the matter?" Laiyang was confused.

Tranquility's pretty face was a little unhappy, and her voice gradually became quieter: "I'm off work."

"...Huh? It's off work, so what?"

"No reason, forget it."

After Tian Jing finished speaking, she twisted her waist, turned around and walked away. Only then did Laiyang suddenly realize that she was asking him to take her home?

The opportunity has just come, hasn’t it?

While Li Dian was dumbfounded for a while, Laiyang quickly chased after him and said with a playful smile: "Hey, how could I forget? I'll take you home, right, Jingjing?"

As soon as the two of them left the door, Yuan Sheng came back with two cups of milk tea, and at this moment Laiyang was holding a quiet drink in his hand.

The moment they looked at each other, the three of them were stunned at the same time.

Yuan Shengda held two cups of milk tea in his hands and looked at the two of them with beautiful eyes in disbelief.

When she saw the drink in Laiyang's hand, something seemed to drop in her eyes, but she still smiled slightly: "Hey? Mr. Tian is here? Laiyang, are you going out?"

"Uh... yes, I'll go do some errands with her and we'll be back after the show." Laiyang hesitated awkwardly.

Quiet and pretty eyes flickered over the two people's faces for a few times. She first said hello to Yuan Shengda, then looked at Laiyang and said, "If you have anything to do, just get busy first."

"Is everything okay? Who's okay? Are you okay, Sheng Da?"

Laiyang secretly winked at Yuan Shengda, indicating that he was trying to build connections for the theater.

Yuan Shengda's watery eyes stared blankly for a few seconds before he smiled and said, "It's okay. Do you still want to drink that milk tea?"

"Don't drink anymore. I have some. Give Li some."

"Oh, he doesn't like drinking silt bobo, so I'll throw it away." Yuan Shengda said with a straight face and walked straight into the theater, which made Laiyang feel embarrassed.

…

The community where Tianjing lives is not far from Yunbin Building, less than 20 minutes' walk, and the two of them are not walking fast as they stroll along the street at dusk.

Tian Jing was wearing a white windbreaker today, which made her already extremely white skin look even whiter and more translucent. Black pencil pants wrapped her legs slim and graceful.

Walking with such a beautiful woman, Laiyang often received envious looks from passers-by.

Those men were probably muttering in their hearts about how virtuous and capable they were to be able to walk side by side with such a peerless beauty.
