A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 253 The Figure in the Telescope

After Chen Jinnian entered the living room, his eyes moved slightly. He could still sense something strange from everyone's calm faces.

However, he did not ask out loud. Since Wang Yidi had just been here, he naturally could not hide what happened from him. He would just go back and ask later.

After putting the takeaway on the table, he said, "When I went downstairs just now, I noticed that the property management was hanging red lanterns. It's really strange that it's not a festival now."

"That's because you haven't lived in Chunfeng Yayuan for a long time. You don't know our tradition now. Every time the college entrance examination season comes, we hang lanterns in the community and give new couplets to residents who are taking the exam. It's mainly to pray for good luck."

After Qiao Yingzi finished explaining, she quickly put away her notebook to make room for the takeout.

"Yes, it's just the beginning of the warm-up. It will be lively before the college entrance examination, just like the Chinese New Year." Huang Zhitao introduced in the same way, and helped open the largest lunch box and smelled the rich aroma inside.

He turned to Ji Yangyang and asked, "These dishes are pretty good. Go get some bowls and I'll share them with everyone."

"Okay." Ji Yangyang stood up and answered, but after taking two steps outside, he stopped again, "Where is the bowl?"

"I'm really impressed. Of course the bowls are in the kitchen." Qiao Yingzi said with disgust, "Taozi, you are really something. There are so many of us, and you insist on asking a young master to help."

"Hey, Yingzi, I'm not a young master. I also work at home."

Qiao Yingzi didn't listen to Ji Yangyang's pale excuse. She just said "get out of the way" and stepped away from the sofa to get dishes from the kitchen.

Chen Jinnian did not join the group for the midnight snack. He sat on the sofa in front of the window with his legs crossed, looking at the stars in the sky through a monocular telescope.

"Come and eat quickly. It's cloudy tonight. What's there to see?" Qiao Yingzi urged him when she saw that he didn't come.

"You guys eat it. I'm in the shaping phase now, so I can't eat high-calorie carbohydrates at night."

His answer obviously exceeded everyone's expectations, because in the inherent cognition, Wang Yidi was always the one who was careful about his diet and cared about his figure every day. How come the roles were reversed now?

After Wang Yidi swallowed the fish in his mouth, he said helpfully, "Jinnian really can't eat anything carelessly right now. He's going to join the crew in just over 20 days, so he needs to stay in shape."

After hearing this, everyone realized that this was indeed the case.

"It turns out being an actor isn't that great. You can't eat or drink anything every day. It's so boring." Qiao Yingzi shrugged.

Chen Jinnian was just about to say that as long as one was a little famous in the entertainment industry, the profits would be comparable to huge profits compared to other industries, when he suddenly saw a figure flash by in the telescope.

"That's weird. Where did I just slide to? Why did I see a figure?"

"I'm dazzled. That's impossible."

With doubts in his mind, he stood up, opened the window, took out the telescope, and slowly searched in the direction where the figure had just appeared.

The house he lived in was on the top floor. If he saw a figure, except that he mistakenly saw someone else's house, it could only be on the rooftop of the building opposite.

The wind rushed in through the open window, making the takeout packages in the living room rustle, causing everyone's dissatisfaction.

"Chen Jinnian, what are you doing? Close the window quickly, it's going to rain soon." Qiao Yingzi covered the takeaway box with her hands and shouted loudly.

"Don't talk, something's happening." He said seriously.

After a careful inspection, he indeed saw a blurry figure on the rooftop of the building diagonally opposite. He could not tell whether it was a man or a woman. He could only see that the figure seemed to be wearing a black coat and a hat on his head, and was lying by the wall.

Hearing Chen Jinnian's wrong tone, everyone put down their chopsticks.

Wang Yidi turned around and saw him leaning on the windowsill, fiddling with the telescope in his hand. He hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"I see a person standing on the rooftop of the building across from me, but I can't see him clearly. Damn, why can't I focus this crappy telescope?"

Qiao Yingzi's face froze. She threw the chopsticks on the table, got up and rushed over. She snatched the telescope from Chen Jinnian's hand, took out the accessories in the box and started replacing them.

She uses the telescope to look at the stars, but of course she can't see clearly because the distance is too close.

Everyone else gathered around and asked where that person was.

"that."

Chen Jinnian pointed in their direction and then realized that was the building where they lived.

"impossible!"

Wang Yidi said in surprise, "No one goes to the top floor, and it's always locked. My mom once wanted to go up there to dry her quilts, but she couldn't find the key after searching for a long time."

"Then where did the other party get the key?" Chen Jinnian turned his head and asked.

"Oh, every resident has them. My mom has several of them."

Qiao Yingzi quickly replaced the lens of the telescope, then squeezed over, pushed Chen Jinnian aside, and stood in front of the window to check.

Qiao Yingzi was indeed much more professional and quickly saw the person standing on the roof.

"Ding Yi! He's Ding Yi. Oh no! What is he going to do? He looks like he's going to stand up. Oh no! He's going to jump off the building."

When Chen Jinnian heard that the other party was Ding Yi, he ran out. Without thinking, he knew what the other party was going to do. He hadn't heard from the other party for a long time, so long that he thought Ding Yi had returned to school.

Others were a little slower to react.

However, after Chen Jinnian changed his shoes and rushed out, they followed closely behind him, ran to the entrance and hurriedly put on their shoes.

"What should I do? It's too late. My mother went to the supermarket!" Wang Yidi said anxiously. Originally, Wang Qing was the closest to him, but now she is the least able to help.

"Call home and see who's home right now."

"My uncle is at home."

"My mother is at home too."

While Qiao Yingzi and the others were waiting for the elevator and making phone calls, Chen Jinnian had already rushed down the stairs and ran to the unit diagonally opposite.

After flying over the flower bed in the middle of the road, he ran into the corridor, but unfortunately the elevator had just closed. Chen Jinnian didn't stop at all, and rushed into the stairs, jumped over six or seven steps at a time, and rushed to the second floor after just a few steps.

"Wait, open the elevator door."

Fang Yuan had just walked in with the phone in his hand when he heard someone shouting outside. He quickly pressed the door-opening button and stretched out his foot to block the elevator door from closing.

"Jinnian, why are you so fast?"

"Thank you"

After Chen Jinnian went in, he didn't explain much, because in the elevator besides Fang Yuan, there was also a white-haired old lady and a young couple.

He quickly looked at the elevator panel and reached out to press the floor buttons they had pre-selected twice, canceling all of them. Only the button for the 11th floor was still lit.

After doing this, he put his head against the elevator door and gasped for breath.

"Child, why do you want to cancel it for me?" the old lady asked anxiously.

Fang Yuan helped explain: "Auntie, saving people is the most important thing. There is a student on the roof who is about to jump off the building."

"What? What's so depressing that you have to jump off the building?"

"depression."

Chen Jinnian answered, then stared at the floor display screen, anxiously waiting for the numbers to slowly increase. He hoped that Ding Yi still had some nostalgia and memories in his heart, and had not made a final decision.
