Lin Jian Homophobic, commonly known as: simply.

Early in the morning, the whole park is still in a quiet silence.

In the plastic running track of the sports park in the park, a slender and tall figure ran unhurriedly against the morning mist.

Next to him was a border collie with ghostly fur.

Lin Jian wore a pair of black sweatpants and a plain white cotton T-shirt, and it didn't take him long to complete one lap of the plastic track. The fifth time he passes by the fitness equipment area, Lin Jian slows down a little, glancing back at his oldest dog's son, who walks around like an old man: "Tsk, don't be lazy."

Pippin gave a grumbling "ow" and sat his ass down on the runway, not moving at all.

I don't know who I learned this tricky look from.

Lin Jian raised an eyebrow in surprise, wiped a thin sweat from his forehead with his gauntlet, and turned back around to crouch in front of the skinned egg, which cringed and wimped out for only a second before fearlessly locking eyes with him.

Lin Jian was about to laugh: "What's the matter, you've changed your mind from pampering to cheating?"

Piebald glared at Lin Jian without changing his face, then ...... leaned over and rubbed his head affectionately against his knee.

Lin Jian: "......"

"Is this how you usually play nice with him?" Lin Jian reached out and rubbed Pi Dan's doggy head, a faint smile floated under his eyes, "But that doesn't work on me, and you heard him the other day, he was the one who said you needed to lose weight."

Piebald cocked his head, a look of disbelief gradually roiling up in his moist, ghostly eyes.

It is said that the Border Collie's IQ is equivalent to that of a 6 or 7 year old child, and that the feedback and companionship of the Border Collie is very good. In fact, Lin Jian did not have him for a long time, only about a year, and at that time he was a senior in high school, with heavy school work, and the energy and time he could give to the little guy was very limited, so the experience back then was not that deep.

And now, the little guy who was so soft and clingy that he would never go west has actually been able to fight with him.

"Don't look at me like that." Lin Jian picks up the skinny egg by one ear and shakes it, very innocently shrugging off the responsibility, "I'm just doing what I'm told."

Two seconds apart, he let out a wooden laugh and whispered to Pee-wee again as if to himself, "No way, I just listen to him so much better than you do."

Pee Wee: "......"

After running and walking the dog, Lin Jian came home with PiYan and it was not yet 7:30pm.

With porridge simmering in a small casserole, Lin Jian went to the bathroom for a quick shower, changed her clothes and cleaned up, and breakfast was just ready.

Sitting at the dining table eating breakfast, the phone resting in his hand vibrated.

Lin Jian glanced down at the incoming call, was stunned for a moment, and when he answered, his tone was softened by a few rare moments, "What's wrong?"

"...... Holy shit?" Xu Yang on the other side of the phone looked as if she hadn't expected this natural tone from him, and froze for a moment before she began to growl, "You still have the face to ask me what's wrong! How long have you been back from Hong Kong? You didn't even say a word or fart, you're such a friend, Lin!"

Lin Jian put down the bowl of congee in his hand, gave a laugh, and snickered, "No, I just came back to the business is relatively busy, so I didn't say anything, and, also, I'm afraid that the big star's schedule is too full to squeeze time for me, so I didn't bother."

Lin Jian has been gone for more than five years, and has cut off contact with everything and everyone, with the exception of Xu Yang.

Just like when they first met and made friends, Xu Yang "pestered" him to make him a friend, when Lin Jian first enrolled in Cambridge, they did break contact with each other, and half a semester later, Lin Jian transferred to Penn due to an unexpected reason, Xu Yang rolled all the way across the ocean and across the strait to block him in front of Penn's Witzmann School of Design. Xu Yang had to go all the way across the ocean and across the strait, directly blocking him in front of the Witzmann School of Design at Penn.

Lin Jian was at the worst stage of his life, and the arrival of his old friend was like a blazing sun, which made him feel the warmth of a long-lost warmth in the midst of the darkness.

Xu Yang accompanied him to a small apartment outside the college for nearly a month, forcing him to work and rest normally and exercise on time every day. It was only after Xu Yang's coercion and threatening that "if you don't listen to me, I won't leave, and I will fight with you to the death" that Lin Jian finally nodded his head and agreed to go to a psychiatrist. After Xu Yang's hard work and threats of "if you don't listen, I won't leave, I'll fight with you here", Lin Jian finally agreed to see a psychiatrist.

Later, when Lin Jian's condition improved and Xu Yang returned to China, their contact was never broken.

That year, Xu Yang took a different approach to the college entrance exam, filling in a very cold second science colleges and universities ...... performance majors, but I did not expect this kind of sword to go off the beaten track type of attempts, actually let him hit the nail on the head, was successfully admitted.

Xu Yang, who is blessed with a demonic face that charms people of both genders, has been a natural choice for an acting major. In his sophomore year, he began to play self media, and soon with a group of cos styling imitation make-up personal compilation on the network platform to kill, from the beginning of the small fame to ten million popularity, but only half a year. Even if his personal account update is not fixed, but each dynamic below the likes never less than a million, the comments are even higher, a sound "husband wife" interspersed, often let the new fans just into the pit doubt life.

After becoming a popular online celebrity, Xu Yang was offered an olive branch by an agency that wanted to sign him, but no matter how favorable the terms of the contract were, Xu Yang refused.

At that time, Lin Jian had asked him on the phone, "So what are your plans?"

Xu Yang grunted and smiled, and replied with great bravado, "Sign what company, even if I'm exhausted in the end, I'm still working for someone? If I want to play, I'll play on my own, no one can be in charge of me."

Yes, Xu Yang is a free-spirited and indulgent student, born to be disobedient.

So in the second semester of her junior year, with plenty of start-up money in hand, Xu Yang set up her own personal studio, officially becoming an artist from Netflix, and transforming herself into a woman of honor.

The original netizen circle of fish and dragons, some say Xu Yang bull to netizen long face, there are also eagerly waiting to see him in the eat people do not spit bones in the entertainment industry, bumped into blood, but did not expect Xu Yang changed the past pompous and diffuse style of action, actually really seriously began to run the studio.

He is an artist and a boss, from the beginning of the web series to the small screen "big special", and then to the big screen supporting role, male third, male second, every step is quite solid, not arrogant, steady.

Because of its own online fan base is unique, coupled with the fact that he whether to accept endorsements or choose the drama are extraordinarily cautious and pragmatic, and also itself is considered to be a class origin, there is the basic skills of the performance is not a flower frame, slowly, actually really let him in the circle to stand firm.

By now, when the young actors in the same group see him, they all have to obediently call out "Mr. Xu".

But even though he has become a member of the new generation of traffic, when it comes to Lin Jian, Mr. Xu is still the same middle-aged boy who used to look at people with slanted eyes and was pretty and hairy.

"Don't do that!" Xu Yang said angrily over the phone. Xu Yang said angrily on the phone, "Admit it, you're just not interesting enough! I've been so worried about you every day, but your old man didn't care about me at all! You--"

"Stop." Lin Jian interrupted his next gibberish crisply and helplessly said, "Are you sure there's no one around right now? See if there's any secret filming or recording in the vicinity, if you keep talking like this, sooner or later I'll have to debunk the rumors for you on the headline hot search."

As expected, Xu Yang was quiet, and then grunted something, and then Lin Jian heard the sound of a car door closing.

The phone suddenly quiet down, Xu Yang said: "just in the underground garage, you do not say I really did not pay attention, now no problem, to the car, the paparazzi after all, can not come to knock the car door is not."

"OK." Lin Jian lost his smile and said, "What is it exactly, now say it."

"I've finalized this play!" Xu Yang excitedly said, "just from the next play into the group there is more than a month time, ah ...... free le!"

"So?"

"So ......" Xu Yang laughed, "How long has it been since we've seen each other? You're coming back from Hong Kong, why don't you meet up and catch up with me, Lin?"

When he said that, Lin Jian's heart couldn't help but move ...... Indeed, they haven't seen each other for nearly a year, and during the half year in Hong Kong City, there were a few video calls, but usually either Lin Jian was working overtime to catch up with the design or Xu Yang was catching up with the filming schedule, so it was always a rush to get together. However, usually either Lin Jian was working overtime to catch up with the design or Xu Yang was catching up with the shooting schedule, so it was always a quick meeting, and they would get off the line without saying a few words.

"Good." Lin Jian lowered his eyes in thought for a moment and agreed.

"Reliable, brother!" Xu Yang laughed. Xu Yang laughed, "I'll go back to the studio today to make arrangements, take a day off tomorrow, and fly over to you the day after tomorrow!"

Lin Jian smiled and just said to wait for him.

*

Lin Jian and Xu Yang were supposed to meet two days later, with Xu Yang flying in directly from her studio in the south and Lin Jian picking her up at that time, but plans change.

A well-known domestic jewelry brand due to the spokesman was exposed to negative news, suffered a brand PR crisis, has been operating for a long time, and now look at the storm will be rested, the brand has temporarily decided to come to a bottom of the payroll to save the day, to hold a star charity dinner.

Normally, if an invitation to an event like this was sent directly to Xu Yang's studio, he'd probably turn it down, as he's never been one to take on a job that he's not prepared for.

However, the brand delivered the invitation directly to Xu Yang's upcoming drama, inviting the entire cast to join the event, with the director and screenwriter attending the event, and naturally, he, the male lead, couldn't miss the event either.

The night before the trip, Xu Yang scolded on the phone, "Are they sick! I'm Lin - you say they're sick! The contract I signed wasn't a contract at all, it was a fucking contract of sale!"

Lin Jian, who was sitting on the floor, playing guessing game with PiDan, laughed and said, "This is also considered to be a promotional appearance, isn't it normal in your circle?"

"But the point is, he's holding me up from catching up with my iron son!"

"No delay." Lin Jian loses his smile, "And doesn't the city where that dinner is being held happen to be my place?"

It's not a coincidence, but it's also a coincidence - the brand is holding a charity dinner in Lin Jian's current city.

"But in that case, we'll have to wait until after the dinner to see each other again." Xu Yang was speechless, giving him a list of things to do over the phone, "During the daytime, we have to put on makeup, arrange for media interviews, take pictures, etc. etc. ...... It's so annoying!"

"Never mind." Lin Jian gave a little laugh and said, "Let me know when you're finished, and I'll come over to you-oh, is that convenient?"

"It must be convenient!" Xu Yang turned the tables and laughed, "I've booked a room at the hotel in advance, so you can come straight over when the time comes."

"Okay." Lin Jian had no choice but to compromise, "Which hotel?"

"It's right in the center of town, Kai Chao."

*

Xu Yang informed Lin Jian that the dinner party would basically end around 10:00 p.m. The next night, Lin Jian prepared plenty of dog food and water for PiDan before he left home, and after calming him down a bit, he arrived at 9:40 p.m. at the Kai Chao Hotel.

Lin Jian got out of the car from the parking area in front of the gate and sent a message to Xu Yang as he walked towards the front door.

[LJ: I'm here.]

After a while, Xu Yang replied, with cranky helplessness between the lines.

[Weiyang: Damn this bunch of capitalists, drink up no end! Buddy, you wait in the lobby for a while, I'll ask my assistant to send you the room card, you go back to your room and wait for me, I'm going to finish this quickly, drink these screwed up things to death!

[LJ: ...... Take it easy.]

In between replies, Lin Jian had already entered the hotel lobby. The hall was brightly lit, and in the center was a wall of flowers, which could be smelled without going near.

In front of the flower wall, there were a few guide signs, Lin Jian took a cursory glance at them, except for the one for the charity dinner that Xu Yang attended, the remaining two were vertical signs for the business summit.

At that moment, a uniformed waiter jogged over and asked Lin Jian if he was a guest at one of the events tonight and if he needed directions. Lin Jian politely declined and said he was just waiting for someone.

The service at the seven-star hotel was so attentive that even though Lin Jian said so, when he sat down at the island sofa area, a waiter still brought him tea and desserts and invited him to sit down for a while.

Not long after, one of the side elevator doors opened and a young girl with a ponytail trotted out of the elevator box, probing her head and looking down the hall.

When her eyes fell across the crystal tower in the common area to Lin Jian, she was first stunned, and then immediately walked over at a brisk pace.

"Hello, Mr. Lin is it?"

Lin Jian nodded, "It's me."

"I'm Brother Xu's assistant, just call me Momo." The little girl didn't look very old and smiled innocently, "Brother Xu asked me to deliver the room card!"

"Thank you." Lin Jian nodded slightly and took the hot-stamped card from her, seeing the room number printed on the back of the card, 2308.

"Let me take you with me to the elevator." Momo pointed to the up elevator on the other side, "I'll go down to the 6th floor ballroom, you can just go straight up."

Lin Jian had no objections, and when he reached the elevator door, he took the initiative to press the button for the little girl.

On the sixth floor, the elevator doors opened, Momo smiled at him and waved her hand, and ran out to the meeting place, Lin Jian arrived on the twenty-third floor by himself.

At the entrance of 2308, Lin Jian swiped his card to enter.

Xu Yang booked a luxury suite, which is extremely luxurious. The upper and lower floors of the room total about 200 square feet, the first floor is the living room leisure area, the second floor should be the living room and bedroom, Lin Jian did not go upstairs, directly in the first floor sofa sat down.

The rooms are large and have one-way floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, overlooking the lights and neon signs.

During the waiting time, Lin Jian first stopped for a moment in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, then returned to the sofa, opened the multifunctional curtain across the room, and found a movie to pass the time.

And the person who originally said he would be in place at ten o'clock was already almost forty minutes late. It was a good thing that Lin Jian was not in a hurry because he had a relatively high degree of tolerance for this dear friend, which was comparable to that of a leather egg.

Halfway through the movie, just after eleven o'clock, the phone Lin Jian kept close at hand rang.

It was Xu Yang's number, Lin Jian picked it up, and what came out was indeed a female voice: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, ...... you, hello, it's Brother Lin, right, I'm Momo!"

The small assistant's tone was anxious, and in the heat of the moment, he directly called out "brother". Lin Jian sat up slightly and asked, "It's me, what's wrong?"

"Oooooooooo ...... Lin brother can you come to the sixth floor ballroom this side to pick us up ah?" Meaning ......"

Lin Jian got up from the sofa and headed for the door of the room, calmly instructing, "Find a way to get him into the elevator first, then stop at the 10th floor, I'll go to the 10th floor elevator entrance now and wait for you."

"You tell me." Lin Jian stepped out of the room and said in a calm tone, "New Generation Traffic's charity dinner drunkenness, and New Generation Traffic's drunken private meeting with a same-sex close friend to get high in a room until dawn-which of these two hot headlines do you think is more explosive, and help him choose one?"

"......" There was silence on the other side of the phone for two seconds, and Momo, the junior assistant, huffed "Boing", "I'll drag him into the elevator right away! "

As the elevator compartment numbers climbed rapidly, Lin Jian looked at his reflection on the shiny door with a blank expression, pinched his brow silently, and sighed.

This was no buddy meet-up, it was clearly him coming to pay his respects to his ancestors.

When the elevator door opens, Lin Jian sees Momo, who is dragging Xu Yang's arms with both hands to prevent him from falling to the ground, and Xu Yang, who is wearing a fashionable suit with a cut-out back and light makeup, but whose cheeks are flushed red as she hugs the handrail of the elevator and sings a love song.

Drunken eyes glimpsed the elevator door opened, Xu Yang looked up in a daze, jaw-droppingly looked at the youth in front of him, after two seconds, suddenly exclaimed: "Hey crouch! This is not ...... this is not that who! My buddy ah--"

"I am your father." Lin Jian's brow jumped and he frowned to hold back the strong smell of alcohol in the elevator compartment and stepped forward to yank the man to his feet, "Wake up and go back to your room before you embarrass yourself."

The door to the compartment closed, Lin Jian held Xu Yang with one hand, occasionally pushed away the other party's attempt to rest on his neck, Momo fearfully leaned to the side, hands folded and prayed to the sky: "Don't have anyone come in don't have anyone come in, don't have anyone come in, don't have anyone come in, don't have anyone come in, don't have anyone come in, don't have anyone come in,......."

Words abruptly cut off, the elevator in the fifteenth floor abruptly stopped, "ding" sound box door opened, Lin Jian raised his eyes to see, and then suddenly frozen.

Outside the elevator door, Shen Ke stood at the front in a well-tailored black high-fashion suit, followed by a few industry executives who were also well-dressed and holding folders, while the man who was supposed to be Shen Ke's current assistant, whom he had met once before at the bidding meeting, was blocking the door of the elevator with his hand, waiting for Chairman Shen to take the first step.

Time suddenly freezes in this moment.

Lin Jian remembered with hindsight that Shen Ke had inadvertently mentioned once a few days ago that the hotel he currently landed in appeared ...... to be Kai Chao.

Shen Ke's stance is sparse and calm, still a gentleman's style, only when he saw the person in the elevator, a little bit of surprise slightly surfaced in the bottom of his eyes.

Lin Jian pursed his lips slightly, and at the moment he hated to throw this piece of taro ...... in his hand No, it was a drunken mountain cannon.

"Chairman Shen?" assistant at this time also see what is the situation in the elevator, and see Shen Ke hesitant to step, out of the sound of temptation, "or change ...... "

"No need." Shen Ke took a step with his long legs, directly stepped into the compartment door, turned to the elevator outside to send off a group of bosses nodded and said, "Today's summit is hard work, everyone take an early rest." After saying that, he pressed the elevator closing button.

Lin Jian: "......"

The elevator compartment was silent for a while, Shen Ke stood in the front position, his posture was straight and calm, Lin Jian dragging Xu Yang, who was already in a deep drunken state, stood a little behind him, leaning on the handrail, watching with his eyes and his nose, seeing the elevator numbers climbing up in his eyes.

It's strange ...... Lin Jian wondered in the back of his mind why he didn't press the floor button.

At this moment, Xu Yang, who has been dormant for only a few minutes, is back to her old ways, and instead of holding the handrail to show off her voice, she directly uses Lin Jian's hand hanging down at her side as a microphone, and holds it up to her mouth before she boldly opens up the microphone with her tongue---.

"You are the wind that I can't find, the red that I can't stop crying, the care that I can't say, the winter that I can't survive, the laughter that I can't help but laugh, the wine that I can't finish, the wounds that I can't heal ......"

"......" Lin Jian held back with his eyes closed and squeezed the words out of his lips, "Shut up."

Momo is also at the side with a crying voice to persuade: "...... Ancestor! Dear brother ...... let's stop for a while please ......"

"Why do you think!" Xu Yang blurted out in a Jinshang dialect, drunkenly yelling, "Don't you guys know that besides being an actor, I also have a dream of being a singer!"

Momo: "......"

However, the drunken, magical Xu Yang brought far more than a little surprise, after finishing his deepest dreams, suddenly sad, low voice lamented, "...... In fact, in addition to being, being an all-around entertainer, the old man's biggest dream, on, is that one day can be openly ...... publicly come out of the closet ah!"

"......" Lin Jian pursed the corners of her lips tolerantly, her heart so exhausted that she was almost homophobic.

It's just - it's just.

Right after Xu Yang proudly announced his "long-cherished wish to come out of the closet", Lin Jian clearly saw the person standing in front of him, Zhou Zheng, slightly glancing backward.

At that moment, the elevator door finally opened on the twenty-third floor, and Lin Jian dragged Xu Yang, who was no longer able to walk independently, and followed Shen Ke, taking a slow step out of the elevator.

"You are the wind I can't touch, the dream I can't wake up, the paradise I can't find, the pain I can't cure, the cigarette I can't light, the hand I can't let go, the so-and-so I can't forget ......"

Behind him, Xu new generation flow king came out of the closet attempted central is still singing loudly, although the seven-star hotel sound insulation effect is first-class, but Lin Jian is still afraid of disturbing other people, inclined to the head of the cold voice warned: "Shut up, and then make trouble to smoke you."

At this moment, Shen Ke, who had watched the whole farce without uttering a word, stopped walking and finally turned to Lin Jian, asking in a natural tone, "Do you need help?"

Lin Jian was subconsciously stunned for a moment, and was just about to say no, when Xu Yang, who was pulling on his arm, short-circuited again, looked at Shen Ke for three seconds with her mouth slightly open, and then suddenly let out a loud "ow", pointing at him with a dumbfounded look, and popping out a sentence like--". "-

"...... Crap dude! Isn't this guy ...... your unforgettable so-and-so!!!"

Lin Jian: "......"

Shen Ke: "......"
