Come on, it's time to show some real acting skills.
Lin Jian This year's annual vacation has been exceptionally pleasant.
Although Shen Ke's work schedule got busier in the days after New Year's Eve, and he himself started to make arrangements for the resumption of work, making two trips to the project site to check on the preparations for the restart of the project after New Year's Eve, he spent the few spare moments he had with Shen Ke.
This morning, the two took Pi Dan to the pet hospital for regular medical checkups, the return trip to the dog lying on the back seat of the car snoozing, Lin Jian sat in the passenger seat, bored with brushing the cell phone news information.
Inadvertently a slip of the fingertips, the phone from the financial news page jumped to the entertainment gossip channel, Lin Jian just wanted to cut back to the interface, a cursory scan of the eyes, and abruptly stopped.
The headline on the entertainment page was a bright red and eye-catching enough headline--
[Exclusive! The popular traffic kid's drama set exploded melon, same-sex friends fought over him?
A photo of Xu Yang in the midst of the chaos was attached to the second caption.
Lin Jian's brows furrowed as he continued to scroll down.
Although the cast and studio first time to dispel rumors, explaining that the so-called "hands" is just a misunderstanding, and the parties involved in one party is Xu Yang's friend, the other party is a family member, and there is no outside speculation of "same-sex friends" and "jealousy" and other rumors, but the statement has not quenched the netizen's fire of gossip, the real-time comments rose high. "Jealousy" and other rumors, but the rumor statement did not quench the fire of gossip, real-time comments rose, the heat of this news has remained high.
So, what's going on? What's Xu Yang up to now?
Lin Jian, suspicious and worried, thought for a moment and directly called Xu Yang's cell phone number, but the mechanical female voice indicated that the number was turned off.
"What's wrong?" Shen Ke, who was driving the car, asked, inclining his head as he sensed the sudden uneasiness that the person next to him seemed to be becoming.
"Well ...... a friend, can't get in touch." Lin Jian replied succinctly.
"In a hurry?" Shen Ke asked.
Lin Jian nodded hesitantly and said, "I don't know what's going on on his end, so I'm a little worried."
"Can I help you?"
"No need." Lin Jian thought to himself that this was after all a matter of the entertainment industry, and there was a wall between Shen Ke, and in this situation, even if he was to help, I am afraid that he would not be able to do so.
The first order of business is to get in touch with Xu Yang.
"Don't be so quick to refuse." Unexpectedly, Shen Ke suddenly added at the red light at the intersection, "Even if it's inconvenient for me to know what's going on, it shouldn't be that hard to find someone for you."
Lin Jian gave him a surprised look, and his skeptical expression managed to make Shen Ke laugh: "Do you want to believe me for once?"
Okay--
Lin Jian sighed, omitted the middle intricacies, he himself is also a little confused about the situation of the intermediate links, just briefly said that one of his friends in the entertainment industry, now can not be contacted, only know the person in which the crew, the rest of the information is not at all, and asked Shen Ke there is no way to find people.
The light turns green, Shen Ke shifts gears to give gas, and after a moment's silence asks, "Is that the friend you saw at the hotel last time, the one who got drunk and was taken care of by you all night, oh I remember - the one from high school?"
"...... huh?" Lin Jian said that high school classmates are right, but he did not take care of him for the whole night last time, right, and someone did not do a good deed without leaving a name, gave him a room next door, he slept well that night ah.
But Designer Lin, who was naturally lacking in the skill of explaining himself to people-especially in front of Shen Ke-thought about it and nodded his head in a gulp, "Yes, it's him."
Shen Ke: "......"
A few seconds later, Shen Ke suddenly laughed softly, bringing a bit of helplessness to his tone, and said, "Tell me which crew it is."
Lin Jian reported the name of Xu Yang's current filming crew, just as the car came down the road and drove into the courtyard of the villa.
Getting out of the car, Lin Jian leads PiYan back to the den to get something to eat for the dogs who have been fasting all morning, while Shen Ke stands in the yard and makes two phone calls.
After Lin Jian had prepared today's "nutritious meal" for Pi Dan and washed his hands from the first floor restroom, his cell phone on the coffee table was vibrating regularly.
Lin Jian walked over, picked up the phone, and saw the caller's information on the cell phone screen, which was Xu Yang, who had just been judged to be "lost".
Lin Jian glanced in consternation at Shen Ke, who was already sitting on the couch checking tomorrow's schedule from his secretary, who looked calm and raised his chin toward Lin Jian to answer the phone in between swiping his iPad with downcast eyes.
It's not--
Lin Jian said, "Is it so amazing and fast?
Too late to ask more questions, Lin Jian took the phone to the side to answer, just connected, the phone came Xu Yang breathless wail: "Brother, looking for me ah?"
"What's your situation?" Lin Jian went straight to the point.
"Nothing." Xu Yang's environment over there seems to be very quiet, more and more lined with his tone of mourning, "In the crew hotel, just now the executive director came over to knock on the door, handed me a note with a phone number, said let me quickly turn on the phone back to a phone call, I look at it, oooh, it's not my Lin's cell phone number it."
Lin Jian held the phone without making a sound for several seconds, and in the intervals of silence, Shen Ke's perception that he was indeed "omnipotent" was once again confirmed.
"I saw the entertainment news." Lin Jian couldn't help but frown and asked, "What's going on, how could you do it directly on the set?"
"Hey ......" Xu Yang sighed long and hard, "I can't tell for a while."
"Are you doing okay over there now?"
"Not so good." Xu Yang truthfully said, "before the phone are going to be burst, upset, simply turned off the phone - now the crew hotel this side of the three layers outside the three layers, are squatting entertainment journalists, the set is also not peaceful, just these days there is no my shooting scenes, so in the room to hide a hide quiet. "
After a moment's reprieve, Xu Yang said quietly, "ah I Lin ...... brother I'm now isolated and helpless, really fucking want to go to join you ah ......"
Lin Jian responded dryly, "You do it then."
"Come on." Xu Yang bitterly said, "how to go ah me, the airport that kind of place, do not even think, as long as now I dare to appear, a quasi-bombed over the sky, and the flight information is not safe, will be the paparazzi chasing ...... "The end of the half helpless and half self-deprecating despair said "Ah can't help it - I'm too red ah ......"
"......"
It's hard for Xu Yang to be happy at this time, but as a good friend for many years, Lin Jian knew that he was in a difficult situation, and after some thought, he said softly, "Wait a moment."
And then while holding the cell phone, his eyes unconsciously looked towards Shen Ke on the sofa.
"...... What's wrong?" Shen Ke happened to finish flipping through the trip planner, felt the gaze that was like substance not far away, and raised his head to ask.
"You ......" Lin Jian unconsciously gulped down a mouthful of air, thinking of the huge and intricate network of relationships behind Shen Ke, and ghostly asked, "Do you have a way to get someone over from the south without anyone realizing it? South without realizing it?"
Shen Ke: "......"
Shen Ke looked at him in amazement for a few seconds, and then was very successfully amused, "What kind of illegal analogy is that?"
When he laughed at him like this, Lin Jian also had the hindsight to feel that his description was simply lousy, so he pursed the corners of his lips and walked over to Shen Ke with his cell phone in his hand, explaining the current predicament in a few words, but did not go into detail about Xu Yang's personal situation over there, and only asked if he could let him board the plane peacefully and then land smoothly.
Shen Ke listened quietly and asked Xu Yang about the specific city he was currently in, while then after a moment's thought, he put down the tablet in his hand and said, "Yes, open up an exclusive Shen's airway for him, no one can disturb him from the time he boards the plane to the time he lands."
Lin Jian's eyes widened slightly.
Shen Ke said in a warm voice, "Tell your friend to wait a bit, and give him the flight information later when the airway application is approved."
Lin Jian nods his head yes, and hangs up with Xu Yang's repeated "fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck".
Shen Ke started to make arrangements for the temporary flight after Lin Jian hung up the phone. After a while, the airport side gave an initial reply, and Shen Ke relayed to Lin Jian: "Don't worry, there shouldn't be any problem."
Lin Jian was then slightly relieved, sighed softly, and said, "Xu Yang -- oh, that's this friend of mine, it's actually been quite difficult all these years."
Is it easier than you?
Shen Ke asked in his heart, but in the end said nothing, just brought over two cups of warm water, one cup was placed in Lin Jian's hand, and after a long time of contemplation, he asked in a seemingly unintentional manner, "Then when he comes over, how are you going to place him?"
Lin Jian picked up his water glass and took a sip, thought for a moment, re-picked up the cell phone on the side, and said, "I'll book a hotel for him in advance."
"......" Shen Ke asks, "Not staying at home? With all those rooms, it's a little more secure than a hotel."
After all, no matter what circle of reporters, even the pervasive entertainment or paparazzi, have not yet dared to Shen Ke residence blocking that ability and courage.
But Lin Jian, after a moment's thought, bluntly refused: "No, it's not convenient."
Shen Ke: "......"
Row.
An hour later, the airport sent the specific flight information, and Lin Jian informed Xu Yang that the boarding time was scheduled for this evening.
The dust has settled.
Xu Yang flew directly from the south to Nan City, the entire flight took less than two hours.
After landing at the South City International Airport in the evening, directly take the exclusive channel, and then by the Shen's full-time employees who have already been waiting at the airport, he will be received directly into the hotel room, the whole process is smooth and silky smooth, the outside world staring at the entertainment journal paparazzi, and even the airport on behalf of the shooting team, did not get the message of the dotted line.
But in the end, Shen Ke took the man to Shen's privately owned hotel in the center of the city, without Lin Jian having to book another home.
Xu Yang called Lin Jian when he got off the plane, and by the time he had settled in and rested solidly for the night, it was the next morning when he contacted Lin Jian for a meeting.
Lin Jian was getting dressed to go out when the company car came to pick up Shen Ke.
Shen Ke this morning to go to the municipal government administrative center to attend a symposium of the Association of trade associations, carrying a coat with Lin Jian when they went out, said, "Let's go together, let the driver drop you on the way."
Lin Jian was afraid that the traffic jam on the road delayed his time, so he shook his head and said jokingly, "No, I'll take a taxi, a little free time, and I'm so familiar with the southern city, can I still lose it?"
"That may not be possible." Shen Ke smiled, raised his hand and took his shoulder, saying, "It's not too convenient to take a taxi over here, and the place where I'm having the meeting isn't far from the hotel, so let's go together."
When he said so, Lin Jian no longer refused and got into the car with him.
Lin Jian and Shen Ke sat together in the back seat, Assistant Xu was reporting on his work all the way, Lin Jian lowered the window a little, and abruptly smelled a hint of freshness wrapped in the cold, crisp air of the early spring morning.
Shen Ke asked the driver to take Lin Jian to the hotel first. Before Lin Jian got out of the car, Shen Ke asked, "I'll pick you up when I'm done there?"
Lin Jian's hand on the car door, thought for a moment, said, "No need, my side does not necessarily want to chat until what time, according to Xu Yang that endless road ......" His voice slightly paused, laughed a little, said, "or drag me not to go is not possible, you don't toss and turn, then I will go back by myself. "Or dragged me not to let go is not possible, you do not toss, when I go back by myself."
I don't know what time it is, but it's not letting me go--
Shen Ke didn't say anything, just looked at Lin Jian's gaze slightly subtle, a moment later, he raised his hand, straight for Lin Jian pushed open the door of the car, said with a smile, "OK, go play."
The tone was rather like teasing a child.
Lin Jian said goodbye to him suspiciously.
The room number was sent to him by Xu Yang, but when Lin Jian entered the hotel lobby, a staff member came up to him and professionally guided him to the elevator door and escorted him up the stairs as if he had been forewarned in advance.
In a hundred-square-foot hotel room, Xu Yang was wearing a dark bathrobe, grinning broadly as he straddled the sofa in the living room. Lin Jian carried two bottles of water over to him and kicked him nonchalantly, "Get up, move over."
Xu Yang very cooperatively got up and sat down, smilingly snatched the water bottle from his hand, unscrewed the bottle and then shoved it back into his hand, smiling, "Okay, okay, you sit, you sit, drink water, drink water."
Lin Jian laughed, "What's wrong, hit your head in a crew fight?"
"That can't be." Xu Yang waved his hand and said, "I didn't do anything, okay? The point is - I'm eating and clothing myself at your expense, and I'm in your good graces, so isn't it only right to be a bit of a dog's errand boy?"
Lin Jian laughed and scolded: "I see that your mental state is very good ah, half did not yesterday's phone call will not be able to live the decadent look, to be fine, you will return to the trip tomorrow, just as my annual leave will be the end of the year, I will not accompany you to this trouble Buddha."
Xu Yang's eyes firmly said, no way, you are busy with your own, but I will not go.
"Don't be poor." Lin Jian returned to the topic, "Tell me, what's going on, the headlines have been exploding for two days, you're not making much noise this time."
"Hey ...... really black red is also red, mom." Xu Yang breathless cursed, the face of the key time to fish him a good friend, no concealment, "on ...... my original one in the sixteen, uh ...... first love, you still have an impression? "
"......" Lin Jian gripped the water bottle, unable to keep from being shocked, "That same year that ...... made you willingly repeat a year of schooling ...... that guy?"
"Ah, it's him." Xu Yang gave a "tsk" sound, grabbed a handful of hair haphazardly, and begrudgingly said, "In fact, in these two years, he's been in contact with me, and a few days ago he heard that I was filming a movie in the south, so that what ...... suddenly ran over to visit the class. Result--"
"You gave him your contact information and the address of the theater group?" Lin Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, poking straight to the heart of the matter, and after watching Xu Yang visibly stutter for a moment, he asked, "What happened as a result?"
"Coincidence," Xu Yang sighed, rubbing her face. Xu Yang rubbed his face, sighed, "coincidentally my cheap brother, this time and damn not stop, with a few people to the theater group to block me off the scene, just happened to run into the one who visited the class, and then what ...... fought."
Lin Jian looked askance at Xu Yang, silent for a moment, suddenly let out a laugh, "So, the paparazzi really didn't write anything nonsense, same-sex friends, jealousy, big fight on the set?"
"You less sarcastic ah." Xu Yang raised his foot and kicked it in the air, and after being dodged by Lin Jian, he glared at the man bluffing, "How did you not write nonsense ah, I fucking have nothing to do with him now."
"I didn't say I did." Lin Jian said, "Didn't we say we were friends?"
Xu Yang: "......"
OK, irony is your specialty.
"Not to ah brother." Xu Yang so many years will be accustomed to this set, hard not immediately soft, "Why ah, first do not have to put up a mother's family hate iron not steel posture ah, I do not think and how he ......"
"The contact information was given, the address was given, and you acquiesced to his visit." Lin Jian asked, "Then what else do you want, why don't you send him the hotel room number later?"
"Hey!" Xu Yang quit, "It's not over, is it."
"Be careful." Lin Jian sighed helplessly, "You fell on him at 17 or 18 years old, and after so many years, you still want to repeat the same mistake? Then you still didn't fall painfully back then."
"Don't talk about me ah, this is not not how it." Xu Yang color weak, think of something, suddenly choked back, "You still bla bla said I? What about you - what's the matter, it's only been a few months, and you're living at home? You and your 'elder' are in a much more complicated situation than I am, right? What's the matter? The fall you took five years ago didn't hurt?"
Lin Jian: "......"
It's fucking, it's just so sudden.
Lin Jian has rarely been so blocked in a daze, the two looked at each other for a few moments, and finally Xu Yang first did not hold back, inclined his head to "giggle" and laughed out loud, and Lin Jian then sighed, his shoulders slowly relaxed, and also lowered his eyes and hooked the corners of his lips for a moment.
"I am different from you." Lin Jian The edge of his mouth contains a little smile, said, "At first, I was too young, I must ask for a result with him, but let him be difficult, and the result of his own impulse, he hid for so many years, in fact, later ...... I slowly figured it out."
"If he had nodded his head yes at the time, that would have been the wrong man for me."
Xu Yang : "...... Tsk, tsk, tsk, what's the matter, you've been suffering for the past few years, and you've been eating quite willingly?"
"At least let myself grow up a lot, also see a lot." Lin Jian look calm and calmly said, "When he refused me or not, and now promised me or not ...... between us, never who owes who."
Much less lived up to it.
"Fine, as long as you're happy - the dog food is quite fragrant, but don't feed it next time." Xu Yang said with a smile, "However, your path of pursuing love is indeed quite mysterious, and I'm especially curious about the means by which you managed to pick the flower of the mountain after five years, can you expand on that?"
Lin Jian looked at him for a few seconds and suddenly asked, "Are you hungry?"
"Huh?" The turnaround was so quick, Xu Yang was blindsided.
"Let's have lunch first." Lin Jian glanced at the time, "Talk over lunch if you're curious?"
"...... line it." It was indeed lunch time, Xu Yang got up from the couch and said, "Wait for me to change, hey I was told that the food in the revolving restaurant upstairs of this hotel is good, try it?"
Lin Jian nods, "The host follows the guest, if you say so."
Xu Yang: "......"
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Shit.
Located on the top floor of the hotel, the revolving restaurant is a modern design that integrates both viewing and dining functions. The restaurant is surrounded by huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlooking the city. As the restaurant slowly rotates, the floor-to-ceiling windows reflect the brightness of the sunrise and sunset, or the neon lights of the city at night, allowing diners to experience the city's day and night transformations and the splendor of the city.
The key thing is that this is Shen's turf, where Xu Yang can travel completely light and doesn't even have to wear a mask.
The two of them picked a window seat and sat down. After ordering, the waiter brought fresh tea with lemon, and Lin Jian poured two cups for Xu Yang and himself and said, "Drink water before the meal to appetize you."
"Not that elaborate." Xu Yang waved his hand unconcernedly, but still took a small sip from the end of the cup, and after putting down the cup, he asked, "Then what? Just so coincidental ah, you went to burn paper for uncle, he also went, the result is in front of your father's grave, he said ...... to that what?"
"...... want that what?" Lin Jian glanced at him in disgust, "Can you not make a good sentence so erotic?"
"Fuck ......" Xu Yang was dumbfounded for a split second, then couldn't help but stick out his thumb and give him credit, "That's great, you're really coming of age."
For how many years now, the two of them had always communicated in the same way, probably because they knew each other too well from what they had been, so they got along without so many scruples, and it was always a lot easier than it would have been for an outsider.
Lin Jian lowered his eyes, gave a very soft laugh, and said, "Perhaps it felt ...... more dignified for that occasion at the time?"
Xu Yang : "More than that, it's probably because he's afraid that if he doesn't say yes again, your dad will just take him away."
"......" Lin Jian : "Shut up."
After the waiter pushes the cart and leaves, Xu Yang raises her wine cooler and pours herself a glass of dry red, then goes to pour the glass Lin Jian is holding.
Lin Jian raised his hand to stop him, and immediately received a blank stare from his friend: "What are you doing? Didn't we say we'd meet again for a drink last time, don't you want to keep your word?"
"No." Lin Jian lost his smile, "Such a big show at noon? What if we are delayed for business in the afternoon?"
"...... Also right." Xu Yang pondered for a long time, thinking that he would contact his crew at any time, he promptly withdrew his hand and said, "Then, just one drink, when this period of turmoil passes for me, or when this drama at the moment is killed, then I'll come back to you to ask for a drink."
"Uh-huh." Lin Jian nodded and smiled, "I'll keep you full."
The two of them had a glass of red wine each, and as they ate and chatted, Xu Yang's state was visibly loosening up, a far cry from the depressed state she had been in on the phone yesterday, and Lin Jian felt a little more at ease as well.
The food was served, and the two of them had just started to move their chopsticks when Lin Jian's cell phone, which was placed by the table, suddenly vibrated.
He scanned it and it was actually Shen Ke calling.
"Hello?" When the call was answered, Lin Jian ignored the fire of gossip that burned in the eyes of Xu Liuqiu on the other side of the line and asked in a clean tone, "It's over, so soon?"
"Yes, a half-day session in the morning, finished in time for lunch." Shen Ke was supposed to have gotten into the car, and Lin Jian heard the distinct sound of a door slamming, followed by Shen Ke's question, "What's going on?"
"Lunch." Lin Jian said.
"Oh ......" Shen Ke There was a slight pause in his tone for half a second before he smiled and asked, "Would it be convenient to add me a pair of chopsticks?"
Lin Jian froze and asked offhandedly, "You're coming?"
"Is it inconvenient?" Shen Ke smiled back, "This side of the venue isn't far from the hotel, so I'm too lazy to toss it, but if it's inconvenient, I'll just find myself a restaurant and eat randomly."
There is no such thing. He owns the hotel and restaurant, and in the end, he wants people to find another place.
Lin Jian inclined his head slightly and whispered a few words to Xu Yang, then said to Shen Ke on the other side of the phone, "There's nothing inconvenient about it, we're just getting started as well, I'll order a couple more dishes, and you'll be just the ticket."
"Good." Shen Ke said, "I'll see you later then."
Hanging up the phone, Lin Jian just looked up at the opposite side of the leaping Xu traffic, puzzled: "Not ...... what are you suddenly excited?"
"Oh, he's just throwing himself into the net, isn't he?" Xu Yang rubbed his fists together, a wry glint in his eyes, "Watch and see - I'll help you try to see if someone is really showing his feelings, or if he's afraid of being taken away by our dad!"
Come on, it's time to show some real acting skills.
