To a certain extent, Li Qian felt an inexplicable sense of detachment from the entire world in this time and space.

  Although in his heart, because of the memories left by this body before, he is really willing to get close to Li's father and mother, and for Wang Jinglu, he also loves and hates in his heart. However, there is always another voice in his mind that reminds him: You are an outsider!

  Yes, he knew he was an outsider.

  He knew he was just a substitute for the original Li Qian, and although his arrival seemed to bring more good things to this body and name, such as achievements, fame, and glory, but for the things he inherited from him, such as the love of his parents and the innocent relationship with Wang Jinglu, it must have come out of nowhere.

  So, even though Li Qian knew his parents loved him very much, after he became slightly independent, he still insisted on moving out to live on his own. As a result, although it seemed like he and Wang Jinglu didn't need to say cheesy things like "I love you" or "you love me", they always had that kind of mutual understanding between them, and they knew each other's hearts. However, when it came to this simple girl and this pure love, he was always at a loss for what to do in his heart.

  Deep down, he naturally inclined to get closer and closer to Wang Jingluo, but the existence of another consciousness made him always hesitant and uncertain, almost taking one step forward and retreating one step - He knew that for such a pure girl, for her worldview, he was not a good man at all.

  He was afraid that as the two of them got closer, he would end up hurting Wang Jinglu even more in the future.

  But many times, he still can't help but subconsciously choose to get close to her, be near her.

  And so, after the tension and excitement of the first few days in this time and space had passed, Li Qian became somewhat quieter and more sullen.

  However, for some new friends I met after coming to this time and space, such as Cao Tian, Yu Bojun, Wang Huaiyu, Xie Bing, Qi Jie, Liao Liao, Li Qian, it's actually easier to find the feeling of being friends with each other without thinking too much or worrying too much.

  When Li Qian opened the door, Liao Liao followed him in, with an attitude not much different from Wang Jingluo's. Also curious, he turned around the room, scanning every corner, before coming back to say to Li Qian: "Not bad, doesn't look like a boy's dormitory, it's quite clean!"

  Li Qian ignored her, picked up the thermos and weighed it, found that there was still half a bottle left, so he took a clean cup and poured her a cup of hot water, saying: "You must be frozen stiff, don't look for it. I hide it every day, you can't find it, come on, drink some water to warm up!"

  Liao Liao heard this and took over the cup, somewhat surprised, "Oh, okay high school student, you can make jokes like this!"

  Li Qian moved a small stool over and sat down, pointing at the sofa saying: "Sit!"

  Liao Liao took off his down jacket and sat down in a thin sweater, holding a cup of water, looking at Li Qian's tall figure sitting on a small stool. He couldn't help but pout and say, "Can't you add another single sofa? It's not comfortable to sit like this?"

  Li Qian smiled and said, "Few guests come here!"

  Liao Liao sneered and curled his lip, saying: "If you have the guts, I'll make your address public in the circle?"

  Li Qian smiled and didn't say anything.

  After a moment, he asked: "By the way, have you had dinner?"

  Liao Liao took a sip of water, put down the cup, and looked pitiful. "I just ate an egg tart on the plane, domestic flights are getting more and more stingy! What's good to eat here?"

  Li Qian was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked towards the kitchen. Liao Liao also followed him to the kitchen door, watching Li Qian open the cabinet and rummage through it. Then, Li Qian took out half a package of noodles and said: "I rarely cook myself here, at home there are only two green onions, two cloves of garlic, a few eggs, and these noodles..."

  Liao Liao sniffled, subconsciously lifted his wrist to glance at his watch, and said helplessly: "It's already half past ten, I reckon the restaurants outside must have closed too?"

  She paused for a moment, and before Li Qian could react, she suddenly lit up her eyes, pointed at the door, and asked: "You two...haven't had any conflicts?"

  Li Qian followed her hand and took a look, instantly understanding, then smiled and said: "Originally there was no conflict, talking about it would resolve the issue, we are neighbors now! However..."

  "But what?" Liao Liao asked.

  Li Qian smiled and said, "But I think you shouldn't expect good things from Teacher Qi. The other day when I was walking home from school, I smelled a strong smell of smoke coming from her house. I almost suspected that she was going to set the house on fire! I quickly knocked on the door and asked, only to find out that she was learning how to cook!"

  "Got it!" Liao Liao nodded, "She's at it again! In college, she used to cook with an electric kettle in our dorm and almost set the whole place on fire!"

  But going back to the sofa, having a drink of water, Liao Liao thought for a moment and stood up again, saying: "I'll still go take a look at the opposite door, what if she's in a bad mood today and didn't finish eating the takeout? It's better than eating your little noodles anyway?"

  Li Qian couldn't help but laugh, Liao Liao didn't wear a coat either, and she slipped on the slippers Li Qian had brought for her and went out the door without closing it behind her, using the light to slap the neighbor's door loudly.

  After a while, Qijie opened the door.

  "Ah!"

  "Ah!"

  The two of them exclaimed in unison.

  "How did you end up here?" Qijie asked.

  "What's going on with your hair? Where's my beloved long hair?" Liao Liao asked.

  Two people sit silently facing each other.

  Li Qian walked over, leaning against the door frame and hugging his shoulders as he watched them converse.

  The two of them were stuck at the door, and after a moment, Liao Liao asked: "What's good to eat here? I'm hungry!"

  Qijie looked up at Li Qian and said, "Every time we meet, the first thing you ask is what's to eat. Don't you think that's a bit too common of you?"

  Liao Liao was too lazy to waste any more words on her, so he directly pushed her aside and went in to search himself.

  Qijie also stood at the door and looked at Jian Li, asking: "Are you going to pick her up?"

  Li Qian nodded, "But I didn't think she hadn't had dinner yet. Otherwise, I should have taken a stroll outside earlier and found her a place to eat before coming back."

  The two of them were chatting, and Liao Liao had already taken out a few things. He waved them at the two people and said: "Alright! She has more stockpiled here than you do, there's a package of frozen dumplings and two bowls of instant noodles!"

  Qiji snatched a few of the frozen dumplings from her hand and said: "These are my own prepared dinner!"

  Li Qian's mouth twitched slightly, then he watched as the two of them tore at each other over there.

  It's said that Qijie was originally going home to have dinner with her parents, after all, New Year's Day is a holiday. But before they even started eating, a few words were said incorrectly. Her father got so angry that he drove her out of the house. Then Qijie bought a bag of frozen dumplings and came back home, but after being busy all day, she was too lazy to move when she got home, so she ended up starving until now.

  Then, finally, Liao Liao took two bags of instant noodles and Qi Jie carried a bag of frozen dumplings, both ran to Li Qian's side.

  Li Qian personally went to the kitchen. On one hand, he boiled water for them to cook dumplings, on the other hand, he also boiled water to prepare noodles for them. He even chopped scallions and mixed oil and salt to make a poached egg for each of them. However, after the water boiled, both of them expressed that they wanted to eat instant noodles... This was very speechless. Anyway, Li Qian would never want to eat instant noodles if there were other options, but since they were willing to eat it, he didn't persuade them and directly poured boiling water for them to cook their instant noodles.

  In the end, a large plate of dumplings, two bowls of instant noodles and two small dishes of vinegar were placed on that small dining table.

  Two big girls eat very deliciously.

  It's probably because Liao Liao was present that Qi Jie also became much more casual. It seemed like they suddenly found the state of their first encounter with three people, and the two of them clinking chopsticks flying around, completely without any elegant demeanor, let alone any dignity as a teacher.

  Li Qian sat on one side, hugging his shoulders, watching the two of them eating with a sweet and warm atmosphere, inexplicably feeling very happy. Amidst the happiness, there was also a hint of subtle sadness.

  Still remember the last time, he himself often went out to film, one trip would be for several months, his girlfriend was also in this crew and that crew, a year down, the two of them could stay together peacefully, at most just a month or so. Every time he was at home, she came back, or she was at home, he came back, the one who stayed at home would cook a bowl of noodles, the other would often eat with great relish, that posture, more unceremonious than Liao Liao and Qi Jie in front of them.

  After they finished eating, Li Qian put the bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen to soak them first. When he came out, he heard Liao Liao and Qi Jie whispering there, "Do you feel that when we were eating just now, Li Qian's eyes on us seemed a bit off?"

  Qijie said: "Are you kidding me? Please, are you used to being a big star and having a habit of preventing peeping?"

  "Hmph, you know nothing. I just feel that the way Li Qian looked at me earlier was almost the same as the way my dad looks at me! Oh no, how old is he anyway? He's several years younger than me, why do I have this feeling?"

  Qijie reached out and touched her forehead, asking: "Do you have a fever?"

  "No way!"

  "Did you lack fatherly love since childhood?"

  "Not lacking."

  "Do you have a tendency towards sibling romance?"

  "You're just siblings in love, you're teacher and student in love!"

  Qijie turned her head to see Li Qian standing at the kitchen door, looking at them with a helpless expression. She pointed at him and waited until Liao Liao also looked over, then asked: "Now that you've seen him again, do you still think Li Qian looks like your dad?"

  Liao Liao let out a soft "hmm".

  After eating and drinking enough, Qijie helped wipe the table with a cloth, then widened her eyes and looked at Liao Liao with a curious face, saying: "Hey, Old Liao, tell me, what's it like to be famous? Is it cool?"

  Liao Liao thought for a moment, turned his head and looked at Li Qian, saying: "Then I have to ask Li Qian first, hey, Master, how does it feel to make someone famous with one hand? Is it cool?"

  Li Qian smiled, spread his hands and said: "It's pretty good, making money cleanly and enough to spend, then having many people listen to your own works and appreciate them. Often someone will praise you on the radio, TV, newspapers, magazines, etc., it feels quite accomplished. And then, you don't have to rush around for promotions all day, busy with this activity or that one, this interview or that one, as well as filming music videos, so it won't be too tiring! Moreover, the most important thing is that when going out, I don't need to wear sunglasses or a big scarf to cover my face, because basically no one will recognize me..."

  Li Qian spoke more and Liao Liao's face became increasingly ugly, to the point where he couldn't listen anymore. He interrupted him, "Hey, are you doing this on purpose? Which pot doesn't open, mention which pot?"

  Li Qian burst out laughing, and Qi Jie followed suit.

  It's all right, it's like this.

  Is being famous good? Of course it is!

  For a singer, fame is fortune! Once you're famous, your albums sell well and you earn more. With fame comes endorsement deals, which means even more earnings. Then there are business performances, events, and as long as you show up, people have to pay you!

  To be honest, those who are willing to come out and become singers, of course, all want to pursue their own musical dreams, but in the end, how many are not thinking about becoming famous? Since they're doing this, aren't they just rushing towards being known by every woman and child?

  But on the other hand, you become famous, everyone knows you and recognizes you, that trouble is also absolutely unavoidable!

  Recently, since the album "Liao Liao" became a bestseller, and since Liao Liao was surrounded by reporters at Jinjiang Airport, she almost always complains on the phone, whether it's to Qi Jie or Li Qian, about all kinds of exhaustion, busyness, and hard work that makes her want to hide.

  What's the point of all this?

  Actually, a dozen or so dumplings with a plate of vinegar and adding a bowl of instant noodles would be enough to fill her up!

  So, is being famous really a good thing?

  It really is one person's opinion!

  But then, inexplicably, everyone fell silent after they finished laughing.

  After a while, Liao Liao suddenly spoke up and said: "When I was in Songjiang Prefecture, I participated in the rehearsal of Dongfang Xing's New Year's Eve concert, and at that time, I heard the song 'See You Off'. Later, I asked Juanzi to buy me a CD. During the rehearsal and recording days, I listened to it every day... Hey, that song was on your two big books at that time, right?"

  Li Qian thought for a moment and nodded.

  "Why didn't you give it to me at that time?"

  Li Qian was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing and asked: "Do you like singing that kind of song?"

  Liao Liao was taken aback, pointing at Qi Jie with a pained expression: "It's come again! I'm so afraid of his abilities, you know? It's as if heaven and earth are at his command - no matter what kind of song you want, no matter how high the requirements, he can give it to you without batting an eyelid! This is really... devastating, don't you think?"

  She turned her head to look at Li Qian, clasped her hands together and said: "Please, don't take out those two big books of yours for now, can we have an equal conversation first? You can be my teacher later, okay?"
