Chapter 90

  Wen Jianing went to see Wen Lin the next day.

  He was in better spirits. He could lay on the bed and talk to Wen Jianing.

  Wen Jianing asked him how he agreed to be a guest at Jiang Yongfei’s concert. Wen Lin said, “She invited me to go.”

  ”Haven’t thought of the reason?” Wen Jianing looked at him.

  Wen Lin was silent for a moment, “I don’t want to think so much.”

  Wen Jianing didn’t speak either, he didn’t know what to say.

  After a while, Wen Lin said again, “It may not be what you think.”

  Wen Jianing suddenly felt a little emotional. Lu Jinlang said that he was idealistic, but in his opinion, Wen Lin was probably the real idealist.

  When the two were chatting, Wen Jianing never saw Li Rong. It was a young nurse who took care of Wen Lin here.

  Wen Jianing asked Wen Lin’s parents, Wen Lin said that he didn’t tell them so that they wouldn’t worry. Originally, his parents were not from here. Once they knew the news of his injury, they would definitely rush over as soon as possible. He didn’t want to make it hard for them.

       “What about Li Rong?” Wen Jianing asked.

  After a brief silence, Wen Lin said, “I don’t know what to say about him, I can only thank him for his concern. He and I are people from two worlds, and it is impossible to be together.”

  Wen Jianing propped his chin with one hand, smiled when he heard the words, and said, “You are a person with only one goal in mind, and Li Rong really has no choice but to help you.”

  ”Don’t laugh,” Wen Lin said, “Actually, I’m very upset. I don’t like other people being too kind to me. It’s really uncomfortable to owe favours.”

  Wen Jianing stood up and walked in front of him. He patted him on the top of his head, “I understand, but you have done nothing wrong, even if there is, half of the trouble is originally caused by Li Rong.”

  Wen Lin looked at him quietly for a while, then turned away from him.

  Wen Jianing still didn’t see Li Rong when he left Wen Lin. He thought that Li Rong might have something to deal with, probably about Jiang Yongfei.

  Wen Jianing called Wen Tinghuan and then went to Lei Xing.

  He met Zheng Xin in Lei Xing and asked him about Wen Lin’s injury, and whether they found out what was the cause.

  Zheng Xin and Wen Jianing sat face-to-face in the office. He put aside the things in his hands and said to Wen Jianing, “It was an accident. The worker in charge of the lifting platform made a mistake. He has been fired, and the stage manager will be responsible for compensation.”

  Wen Jianing asked, “Do you think it’s that simple?”

  Zheng Xin put his hands on the table, “Who do you suspect?”

  Wen Jianing didn’t speak.

  Zheng Xin looked at him for a long time and said, “Do you suspect Zhu Zexin or Jiang Yongfei?”

  Wen Jianing said, “Both.”

  Zheng Xin said, “There is no evidence, and it’s useless to make groundless accusations.”

  Wen Jianing looked at him, “What if I go to find evidence?”

  When Zheng Xin heard the words, he leaned back and went silent for a moment, and then said meaningfully, “Why bother? We are all in the same company and you want to make trouble like this? Moreover, if Lei Xing happens to have this kind of incident, isn’t it Mr. Lu that’ll suffer the most? “

  Wen Jianing said, “I just want to know the truth, so I can tell Wen Lin to be more on guard in the future. Otherwise, he will foolishly join anyone who asks him to be a guest in the future and give them a chance to mess him up. What do you think I should do?”

       Zheng Xin was helpless, hesitated for a long time and said, “What do you think if I dismiss Zhu Zexin?”

  Wen Jianing said at the end, “I understand.” He just wanted to test Zheng Xin’s bottom line. It seemed that Zheng Xin was also aware of this matter, and Jiang Yongfei and Zhu Zexin were connected.

  Only when he returned home from the company that night, Lu Jinlang was cooking dinner in the kitchen and said to Wen Jianing, “About Wen Lin, do you want to investigate it?”

  Wen Jianing stood at the door of the kitchen and asked, “Are you nervous?”

  Lu Jinlang smiled, “What am I nervous about?”

  Wen Jianing said, “Bringing down Jiang Yongfei out will have a great impact on the company, right? Bai Shengzhe asked you to persuade me to forget it?”

  Lu Jinlang turned his head to look at him, “You know it very well in your heart.”

  Wen Jianing leaned his head on the kitchen door frame, “Just a little unwilling.”

  Lu Jinlang sighed, “After all, this incident is Li Rong’s responsibility. Jiang Yongfei, a woman, is a little bit jealous, but she is indeed wronged.”

  Wen Jianing asked, “The truth?”

  Lu Jinlang shovelled the fried vegetables out of the pot and smiled, “The truth is that I, as the boss of Lei Xing, begged you to let Lei Xing off the hook.”

  The cooked food was put on the table, and Lu Jinlang went to the room to change clothes.

  Wen Jianing followed and pounced on him onto the bed from behind.

  Lu Jinlang turned to face him, and asked, “We haven’t eaten yet, do you want to eat me?”

  Wen Jianing smiled and kissed his lips, “Lu Jinlang, I like you so much.”

  Lu Jinlang held his waist, smiled and said, “Is this going to be a Qiong Yao’s* drama?”

  Wen Jianing leaned his head on his chest, “No, I’m serious, I didn’t know how it would feel to like someone.”

  Lu Jinlang hugged him tightly, kissed him on the forehead, and then said, “As for Jiang Yongfei, I will make her apologize to Wen Lin, but Zhu Zexin doesn’t have to stay.”

  ”Make him legally liable,” Wen Jianing said.

  Lu Jinlang did not respond, because this would inevitably make a big noise, and it would have a big impact on Lei Xing’s reputation. He still needed to weigh it down.

  Wen Jianing raised his head and looked at him, “I have asked Ting jie to find the worker in charge of the lifting platform. Do you think money or threats are going to be more effective for him?”

  Lu Jinlang scratched his hair and said, “Stand up.”

  Wen Jianing sat up.

  Lu Jinlang said, “You can do what you think is right, but I hope you can consider me and the company appropriately. Lei Xing is our Lei Xing.”

  Wen Jianing looked at him, and finally smiled, “Okay.”

  Two days later, Wen Tinghuan called Wen Jianing and said, “What did you say to Lu Jinlang? He asked Lu Yunan to pester me, he must go find someone with me.”

  ”I’ve said everything that should be said,” Wen Jianing said, “I have nothing to hide from him.”

  Wen Tinghuan was very speechless, “I surrender. Does Lu Jinlang disagree with this matter? You guys are just tormenting me.”

  Wen Jianing said, “Thanks for your hard work.”

  Lu Jinlang said that Wen Jianing should do what he thought was right, and Wen Jianing had to think more about it. Lei Xing was not owned by Lu Jinlang alone, and now he also has feelings for Lei Xing, and they all hoped to see Lei Xing gets better and better.

  But no matter what, he has to get the evidence first so that whether it was dismissing Zhu Zexin or asking Jiang Yongfei to apologize to Wen Lin, it wouldn’t cause them to react fiercely.

  Zhu Zexin was such a despicable villain. When Wu Dongqin left Lei Xing, Wen Jianing didn’t think he needed anything to guard against. Every line has its own rules. If you break the rules, you will be abandoned by it. But Zhu Zexin was a sinister villain who could even do things that hurt people, and it couldn’t be measured by normal people’s common sense.

  To not call the police, was what Lu Jinlang hoped for.

  Then if the police were not called, at least Zhu Zexin should be kept out of this business forever.

  Before Wen Jianing made progress, Li Rong officially broke up with Jiang Yongfei.

  This was not a happy thing for Wen Jianing, nor it was for Wen Lin. Although Wen Jianing was angry at Jiang Yongfei’s behaviour, he didn’t want Li Rong to leave Jiang Yongfei and pursue Wen Lin wholeheartedly. He felt that Wen Lin might not last long.

  Zhu Zexin was fired by Lei Xing.

  Zheng Xin handled this matter, and neither Lu Jinlang nor Bai Shengzhe came forward, let alone Wen Jianing.

  However, Wen Jianing still felt that it was somewhat cheaper for him. He inquired about Zhu Zexin’s whereabouts, hoping to completely cut off his path of development in this industry.

  Lu Jinlang knew his plan but did not stop him and just told him to be careful of Zhu Zexin.

  Wen Jianing said he understood.

  Jiang Yongfei’s apology when she went to Wen Lin’s bed was somewhat formal. She didn’t really apologize, but she said something that she wanted to tell Wen Lin alone.

  Li Rong was originally present at the time.

  Wen Lin hesitated and said to Li Rong, “Can you go out? I’ll have a few words with Yongfei jie alone.”

  When everyone had gone out, no one knew what Jiang Yong Fei and Wen Lin had said inside. After Jiang Yongfei left, Li Rong went in and asked Wen Lin what they had said. Wen Lin just shook his head and refused to say anything.

  The new year was another year for the new Academy Awards ceremony.

  Wen Lin’s leg injury had not healed yet, and he could actually walk, but everyone was worried that his bones would heal in a dislocation, so they were determined not to let him walk on the ground.

  And this year Wen Lin was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award.

  Compared to Wen Lin’s Best Newcomer Award nomination, Lu Jinlang’s nomination for the Best Director Award obviously carried more weight, and it had attracted more public attention.

  At that time, some media came out and said, did they praise Lu Jinlang too much?

  However, the award candidates decided by the organizing committee could now only be questioned but couldn’t be changed.

  At the same time, Wen Jianing, who participated in this movie, was nominated for Best Actor, and Jian Jun was also nominated for Best Newcomer.

  Before the event, a TV station interviewed Wen Jianing and asked him what he thought.

  He told reporters, “I am very optimistic about Lu Jinlang and Wen Lin, and of course, Jian Jun has a high chance also.”

  The reporter asked him, “Are you not optimistic about yourself?”

  Wen Jianing smiled, and said, “I always think the worst.”

  At worst, Wen Jianing had acted in so many plays. He had a good understanding of his performance and also the taste of the judges of the Academy Awards. He felt that the fact he was nominated was already quite an affirmation, but probably he would not win it for his part.

  As for Lu Jinlang, he had observed for so long but he hadn’t figured out whether this director’s award will be his. He was really uncertain.

  He said that he was optimistic but it was nothing more than an expectation.

  At the awards ceremony that year, Wen Jianing’s seat was a little closer to the front, but there was still a distance from Lu Jinlang. Wen Jianing sat two rows behind him by the corridor.

  Wen Lin did not sit next to him, because his legs were not completely healed, so the organizing committee arranged for him a more convenient position.

  His leg injury was said to be caused by an accident, but only a few people knew the cause.

  The Newcomer Award was in the front order.

  When the award-presenting MC announced Wen Lin’s name, the camera suddenly zoomed in on his face sitting in the corner of the back row. He was still a little confused and looked blank.

  It was Tang Shao beside him who gave him a nudge before he came back to his senses amidst the applause from the entire audience.

  Wen Lin wanted to stand up, but Tang Shao stopped him, and the organizing committee directly arranged for two security guards to lift his wheelchair onto the stage.

  Wen Lin blushed immediately and felt extremely ashamed. He raised his head in embarrassment.

  He was carried to the stage in a wheelchair. The guest handed the trophy to his hand. He looked at the little golden man and was unexpectedly calm. He was probably the calmest of all the winners tonight. He thanked the MC who deliberately turned the microphone down for him, and then said, “Actually, I was very surprised to receive this award today. There are many people who I need to thank. My relatives, my parents, and my teacher, but the one person I want to thank today is a good friend of mine. Since you all realized it, he has inspired me to help me all the way, and there is something to say; It may be a little cheesy, but he deserves half of this trophy. Thank you Ke Xinhang, my friend, I love you.”

  He said the last three words with a smile, which aroused enthusiastic applause from the audience, and some people were whistling.

  The camera is aimed at Wen Jianing, he is also smiling, and blows a kiss, saying, “I love you too.” The microphone cannot pick up the voice, but the shape of his mouth is clearly visible.

  Wen Lin’s thank you speech was very brief. He was really embarrassed to let the security guard carry him down, and instead pushed the wheelchair down from the backstage by himself.

  And the next awards continued one by one.

  Until the Best Director Award, the award-presenting guest joked that today was probably the best director who will be the most anticipated by the audience because the Film Emperor Lu had crossed the border to snatch the director’s jobs.

  The camera was aimed at Lu Jinlang. He had been smiling gently and gracefully.

  But Wen Jianing knew he was nervous, and he was looking forward to it.

  Before leaving for the Academy Awards ceremony today, Wen Jianing personally helped Lu Jinlang tie a bow tie.

  ”Are you nervous?” Wen Jianing asked him at that time.

  He nodded, although his expression was as calm as ever.

  Wen Jianing said, “I am not nervous, I believe you.”

  Lu Jinlang raised his hand to pinch his chin, and gently rubbed the corner of his lips with his thumb. “Actually, it shouldn’t really be taken too seriously, but sometimes people just need the approval of others.”

  Wen Jianing nodded, “I can understand it completely.”

  ”Jianing,” Lu Jinlang said, “I look forward to the day when we can return to that fair starting point again and wait for the results of the competition to be announced.”

  Wen Jianing said “Okay,” and then kissed Lu Jinlang’s lips passionately.

  Now in the award hall, when he heard the MC shouting out Lu Jinlang’s name, Wen Jianing loosened his hand, and he realized that his hand was trembling slightly. He was probably even more nervous than Lu Jinlang.

  Lu Jinlang stood up, smiled and shook hands with the people around him and nodded in thanks, then walked towards the stage.

  A row away from his row of seats, Wen Jianing was sitting next to the passage.

  Lu Jinlang raised his head and looked right up at him.

  Wen Jianing was a little nervous, and then he saw Lu Jinlang walking toward him.

  This was not obtrusive, because he was the leading actor in Lu Jinlang’s play, and he should share the joy of winning with him.

  Wen Jianing stood up and hugged him, and heard Lu Jinlang say in his ear, “I love you.”

  Wen Jianing’s eyes were a little teary at that moment, and he replied, “I love you too.”

Chapter 9

       Before Xi Feng had time to sort out his complicated feelings for He Yunsheng, he received an invitation from Lu Xiaomei. (Lu Xiaomei was the girl who is in ambiguous relationship with Xi Feng at the beginning of the article, but later dumped him mercilessly)*

       When Xi Feng held the invitation card, he didn’t have much thoughts. At that time, his feelings for Lu Xiaomei had already disappeared. He was at loss, holding the invitation card in his hand for a long time, and then suddenly threw it on the table. He thought about how Lu Xiaomei was giving him a hard time at that time, and now she really has the nerve to send this invitation over!

       However Xi Feng is good at maintaining his image. Now that he has received the invitations, he still intends to attend. And he heard that most people in the company, whether they are close or not with Lu Xiaomei, were given invitations to her marriage. Several colleagues in Xi Feng’s department were not very happy, and they said they wanted to pool resources for Lu Xiaomei’s wedding gift , and Xi Feng also joined in.

       On the wedding day, Xi Feng went with Xu Qing.

       At first, Xi Feng was a little unhappy, and he didn’t understand why he felt this way. He was always not too keen to announce his relationship with Xu Qing in front of the other colleagues. However, the relationship between them was originally semi-public. So long as the colleagues who are close to them already know it, there is nothing to hide.

       Xu Qing noticed Xi Feng was responding vaguely, and asked with a cold face, “Does being in a relationship with me make you feel ashamed?”

       Xi Feng was taken aback when he heard the words, and quickly said, “How can it be? It never crossed my mind.”

       Xu Qing was still angry, picked up the bag and turned around and left, “If you don’t want to disclose it, then let’s break up.”

       Xi Feng grabbed his hair and was suffering for almost half the day. In the end, he bought a bouquet of flowers and took them directly to the company to give them to Xu Qing. At that time, he was surrounded by many colleagues to watch the excitement.

       Xu Qing was in a good mood, and when she took the flowers, she hugged Xi Feng and kissed him.

       Then everyone applauded.

       The scene happened in the corridor of Xu Qing’s office. When Xu Qing kissed Xi Feng, Xi Feng saw He Yunsheng coming out of a nearby office with a sheet in his hand. He was shocked and almost reached out to push Xu Qing away. Fortunately, he was rational enough to stop himself from doing that.

       He Yunsheng looked up at them and saw the large bouquet of roses in Xu Qing’s hand. He passed by them without saying anything.

       As he passed by, Xi Feng saw He Yunsheng’s mouth curled up slightly as if he was smiling, and his own mood collapsed for no reason. He forced himself not to look at He Yunsheng’s back.

       Now that his relationship with Xu Qing was made public, it was logical to go to Lu Xiaomei’s wedding together.

       The wedding was on Saturday. When Xi Feng picked out clothes in the wardrobe the night before, he thought it would be good to let Lu Xiaomei know that he also had a girlfriend, in case the other party still looked down on him.

       But then he thought of He Yunsheng and couldn’t help feeling depressed. By now, Xi Feng has increasingly suspected that there might be a problem with his initial judgment.

       He slowly failed to understand He Yunsheng’s attitude towards him. Did he misunderstand him at the beginning, or after experiencing so many things, He Yunsheng’s original feelings have been wiped clean?

       At the same time, in addition to feeling something terrible inside his heart, he always felt that he cares too much about He Yunsheng, which is not normal, but because of some reasons he didn’t dare to delve in further for he was always afraid that he will also fall into an irreversible abyss.

       On the day of Lu Xiaomei’s wedding, Xi Feng went to the wedding banquet restaurant with Xu Qing.

       Many of the guests who came one after another were colleagues from one of their companies. A male colleague greeted Xi Feng to sit with him, but Xu Qing took him by the arm and said, “No drinking!” Then she had to make Xi Feng sit with her at the table of female colleagues.

       Xi Feng felt a little distressed, but he didn’t want to argue with Xu Qing in public, so he sat at the table she wanted. As a result, as soon as they sat down, the company’s female colleagues made jokes on them and asked them if something good was about to come. Xi Feng felt even more uncomfortable.

       He sat for less than five minutes, and the wedding hadn’t started yet, and suddenly heard a familiar hoarse voice behind him.

       Xi Feng couldn’t help but immediately turned his head to look, and saw He Yunsheng standing not far from their table, talking to a colleague.

       They didn’t talk much, He Yunsheng nodded and said goodbye. He turned around to look inside, probably looking for a seat.

       Xi Feng saw that there was still a place next to him, and subconsciously wanted to call He Yunsheng, but He Yunsheng walked inside without looking back, and finally sat down beside his young colleague in the Finance Department.

       “Hey!” Xu Qing suddenly bumped his arm.

       Xi Feng suddenly came back to his senses, “What?”

       Xu Qing said, “Why are you so absent-minded when I’m talking to you?”

       Xi Feng shook his head, “Nothing.”

       He was really distracted, and he doesn’t need Xu Qing to remind him. He knows it in his heart.

       After a short time, the wedding officially began.

       Lu Xiaomei is very beautiful, and she has a better figure and more delicate facial features than Xu Qing. Today she wore a wedding dress with a shining brilliance, and the flowers she held in her hands were all pale in comparison.

       Xi Feng’s cell phone rang, he clicked to open it and saw that it was a WeChat sent by a colleague, asking him if he felt sorry seeing Lu Xiaomei.

       At that time, he was pursuing Lu Xiaomei, and many of his colleagues in the company knew about it. Although he failed at the end, Xi Feng no longer felt it was unbearable when he heard someone joked about it.

       Seeing this WeChat today, Xi Feng found himself not feeling anything. Not even feeling regretful or unwilling, Lu Xiaomei has completely become a passer-by in his life.

       After hesitating on how to reply, Xi Feng suddenly found that He Yunsheng stood up from his seat with his mobile phone and was walking out from the middle of the table.

       He Yunsheng’s brow was slightly frowned, and the phone in his hand was still on, as if he was on a call.

       Even though he knew that his behavior was a little abnormal, Xi Feng couldn’t help standing up and trying to follow.

       Xu Qing grabbed his arm and asked, “Where to go?”

       Xi Feng said, “I want to go to the bathroom.”

       Xu Qing whispered, “Why are you going to the bathroom just after sitting down?”

       Xi Feng did not answer her, and continued to walk outside.

       He Yunsheng was walking faster than Xi Feng. Outside the banquet hall was a long corridor, and he walked straight to the end of the corridor. He Yunsheng stood in front of a window to answer the phone.

       Xi Feng came out and walked slowly in his direction. The carpet on the and the faint music in the banquet hall completely covered his footsteps.

       He Yunsheng answered the phone with a cold tone, “What are you still calling for?”

       Xi Feng did not dare to get too close, he could hear what He Yun was saying, but he could not catch the voice on the other side of the phone at all.

       He Yunsheng was silent for a while, and he continued: “It has nothing to do with me, that was your own choice.”

       ……

       “You are an adult, Xu Fengjie. Be a bit responsible.”

       ……

       “I don’t know where you heard that, but I’m doing fine and don’t need you to worry about it.”

       After that was a long silence, He Yunsheng should be listening to the person on the other side of the phone.

       Xi Feng waited anxiously.

       Then He Yunsheng said, “I’ll come over now.”

       After saying that he was about to hang up the phone, Xi Feng stepped forward and grabbed his arm, saying, “Don’t go!”

       He Yunsheng looked at him in surprise, “Were you eavesdropping on my phone call?”

       Xi Feng said, “I’m sorry I didn’t mean it, but you’d better not go.”

       He Yunsheng raised his hand and waved him away, “It has nothing to do with you, right?” Then he tried to pass by Xi Feng and leave.

       But Xi Feng grabbed his wrist again and said earnestly, “Listen to me, you’re giving him unrealistic hopes by going over there like this, you really shouldn’t go.”

       He Yunsheng looked like he was going to be mad, but there were guests that came late, people who came out of the banquet hall to make a call and go to the bathroom in the corridor from time to time, so he suppressed his emotions and said to Xi Feng in a low voice, “His mother is crying and begging me. Now, I just want to talk to him face to face and tell him to cherish his life and stop pestering someone who doesn’t love him.”

       Xi Feng said, “But he will think you still care about him.”

       He Yunsheng looked at Xi Feng, “I really didn’t care about him. But after all, we have been together for so many years, and just because I didn’t want to go back to him doesn’t mean I wanted him dead.”

       Xi Feng didn’t know how to refute He Yunsheng’s words. He just grabbed a handful of his hair irritably and said, “You’re just too kind.”

       Hearing this, He Yunsheng laughed self-deprecatingly for some unknown reason.

       Xi Feng’s heart was in a mess. He felt that he might not be able to stop He Yunsheng from meeting his ex-boyfriend, so he said, “I’ll accompany you.”

       He Yunsheng was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, “There’s no need for you to do so.”

       Xi Feng said, “I’m serious. I can pretend to be your boyfriend to make him give up, right?”

       He Yunsheng stared at Xi Feng’s collar in a daze. In fact, he had considered it before, thinking that he could just find someone to pretend to be his lover and talk to Xu Fengjie clearly. But he hasn’t been able to find a suitable person.

       Although he knows some people in this circle, most of the people he knows, Xu Fengjie, also know. Among them, there are others that are interesting to him but he is not willing to accept. If it is outside the circle, even though his sexuality is not a secret, he couldn’t be so brazen to find someone to pretend to be his lover.

       Thinking about it, Xi Feng is still a good choice.

       First of all, Xi Feng knew about the mess between him and Xu Fengjie. Second, Xi Feng was a straight man and had a girlfriend. After helping him to perform the act, it would really be over. There would be no other thoughts.

       It’s just that He Yunsheng still feels lingering fear for Xi Feng, and can’t help saying: “I hope you know what you’re doing. I don’t have any extra thoughts about you. Acting is just acting.” If Xi Feng wants to grab ahold of his affairs and talk about it everywhere, there’s nothing he can do.

       Xi Feng heard him, but felt a little sad for no reason. He held his wrist and said, “I know, I’m sorry, I just want to help you.”

       He Yunsheng glanced at the time when he heard the words, “I’m going over there now. What do you need to do on the wedding side?”

       Xi Feng said quickly, “You go down first, wait two minutes for me, and I will come down immediately after telling…”

       He Yunsheng hesitated a little, and finally nodded in response, “I’m really sorry to trouble you.”

       Xi Feng smiled, “It doesn’t matter. We’re friends after all.”

       He Yunsheng then also smiled, with a touch of mockery.

Chapter 89

  Lu Jinlang appeared in a total of two publicity programs, and never appeared again after that. However, Wen Jianing was far less relaxed. It should be said that he was the main force in the promotion of the whole movie because Jian Jun’s current reputation was far less than his.

  He had recorded several TV station’s varieties shows in succession. Wen Jianing felt that during this period of intensive bombing, the audience would probably be bored watching him.

  Immediately following this wave of publicity, the movie was released.

  In fact, on the content matter alone, this movie was not a popular topic, but the premiere achieved very good box office results. Perhaps it had something to do with Wen Jianing, Lu Jinlang’s own box office appeal and massive publicity during this period.

  And the biggest selling point of this movie was not “the first film starring Ke Xinhang”, but it was “the first film directed by Lu Jinlang”. Regardless of whether it was the internet or the media, the movie reviews for this movie were mainly directed at the performance of the director Lu Jinlang, followed by the performance of the two leading roles of Wen Jianing and Jian Jun.

  Wen Jianing’s acting skills had already been recognised in the last movie. No matter how he performed in this movie, it was hard to let people have that sense of amazement at first sight. The media and the internet generally was discussing Lu Jinlang and Jian Jun. They generally gave high praise to both, especially Lu Jinlang.

  Lu Jinlang was undoubtedly talented, even in Wen Jianing’s view, this could be called a talent. He had unique ideas about acting, which made it impossible for his directors to fully control him much of the time, so when he was directing himself, he could put all those amazing ideas into practice. And Wen Jianing and Jian Jun happened to be two outstanding actors Lu Jinlang handpicked who could express his ideas smoothly.

  This resulted in an excellent production with delicate emotions and a long emotional aftertaste. Many people chose to take their children or their parents to watch it.

  Some movie critics said: This was a film full of warmth, allowing young people to calm down in the impetuous urban life, and couldn’t help but want to pursue some of the simplest feelings.

  Lu Jinlang’s movie was released almost at the same time as the small budget movie Wen Lin participated in. This movie was far from receiving as much attention as ‘Bitter Summer’, and it had even been released for about a week.

  But even so, if you search carefully, you could still see some related news on the internet.

  Someone posted a Weibo saying that he bought a ticket for a movie he hadn’t heard much about because of the release timing. After he saw it, he was amazed by the acting skills of one of the young people after he went in to see it “I got goosebumps all over!” He attached a promotional photo found on the internet, which was a side photo of Wen Lin hanging with his hands tied up.

  Of course, this news did not cause much impact.

  Wen Jianing met with Wen Lin during this time. When talking about the movie, Wen Lin had an indifferent attitude. He didn’t expect much of himself, so naturally, he would not be disappointed.

  ”Bitter Summer” had a good reputation at the box office. Lei Xing made a fortune as an investor, and the Lu Jinlang brothers certainly made a fortune.

  The most excited person in the Lu family was the old lady Lu. As soon as the movie was released, she insisted that the whole family accompany her to watch it.

  Lu Jinxin said, “I’m not going, isn’t it silly? What kind of large family goes to the cinema together?”

  As a result, he was chased and beaten by the old lady.

  In the end, Kang Huanxian and Lu Yanyue accompanied her to see it. After watching, the old lady wiped away her tears for a long time, and when she saw Wen Jianing again, she looked at him with an expression of love, as if she wanted to hold him in her arms and kiss him.

  Lu Yanyue bit into her lollipop and said to Lu Jinlang, “Third uncle, if you are going to break up with Xinhang someday, give him to me.”

  Lu Jinlang said, “You wish.”

  That night, the Lu family had dinner together.

  Lu Yanyue sat next to Wen Jianing and kept asking him, “Do you have any brothers? Introduce one to me.”

  Wen Jianing thought for a while and said, “I have an older brother.” But thinking of Ke Xinfan’s appearance, he said to Lu Yanyue, “He is not suitable for you.”

  ”Married?” Lu Yanyue asked.

  Wen Jianing shook his head.

  Lu Yanyue said, “Then it doesn’t matter, let’s decide if he’s suitable or not after we meet then.”

  Lu Jinfeng was very displeased. He placed his chopsticks down again, “Don’t talk nonsense, it’s time for you to study hard now.”

  Lu Yanyue c0cked her mouth, “Dad, you’re really old-fashioned.”

  The family talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was peaceful.

  After dinner, Kang Huanxian sat on the sofa and peeled the fruit. She made sure to let them eat the fruit before going back.

  Wen Jianing was chatting with the old lady when the mobile phone in the pocket of his clothes suddenly rang. He answered the phone and found that Wen Tinghuan was calling.

  Wen Tinghuan’s tone was a bit hurried, and as soon as she connected, she said, “Something happened to Wen Lin.”

  ”Huh?” Wen Jianing was stunned, “What’s the matter?”

  Wen Tinghuan said, “He was a guest performer for Jiang Yongfei’s concert. He fell off the stage during the rehearsal and is now sent to the hospital.”

  Wen Jianing suddenly stood up from the sofa.

  ”What happened?” Lu Jinlang looked at him.

  Wen Jianing said to Lu Jinlang, “Something happened to Wen Lin.”

  Lu Jinlang drove the car and went to the hospital with Wen Jianing. On the phone, Wen Tinghuan only said that Wen Lin seemed to have injured his leg, but Wen Tinghuan didn’t know how serious it was because she was not there either.

  In the car, Wen Jianing called Tang Shao, Wen Lin’s new assistant, and asked him what was going on.

  Tang Shao was obviously also nervous, saying that he hadn’t paid attention for a while, and Wen Lin had fallen off when he heard the commotion on the stage.

  ”Don’t be so nervous,” Lu Jinlang glanced at him as he drove the car.

  Wen Jianing held the phone in his hand and looked very upset. He said to Lu Jinlang, “I’m really afraid that he has been injured in some way and he won’t be able to go on stage anymore.”

  Lu Jinlang comforted him, “It should not be that serious.”

  Wen Jianing sighed suddenly, and he said, “Whenever I look at Wen Lin, I always feel like I see the real Ke Xinhang.”

  Lu Jinlang was silent for a moment, and said, “You haven’t seen the real Ke Xinhang, haven’t you?”

  Wen Jianing said, “But I can imagine, I think he should be like Wen Lin, with his own ideals, his own persistence, and he won’t compromise easily.”

  Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand and gently touched the top of his head.

  When they arrived at the hospital, they saw Tang Shao and Wen Jianing realized that Wen Lin had broken a leg and had an open fracture on his left calf. He was now undergoing surgery to restore the dislocated joint and to set it in place.

  Although he was seriously injured, there was no life-threatening danger, and he heard from the doctor that as long as the function was restored, there would be no disability in the future, and it would have little effect on the function and appearance.

  Wen Jianing was relieved.

  However, they had just arrived, but only a moment later, Wen Jianing realized that Li Rong had also arrived.

  The hospital Wen Lin was sent to was an expensive and low-key private hospital in the city. The news of his injury was not kept secret, and it was spread by the media and the internet immediately, but no one knew which hospital he went to, and the environment here was also very clean.

  When they saw Li Rong, Wen Jianing asked Tang Shao, “Who notified him?”

  Tang Shao was silent, seeming a little embarrassed.

  Wen Jianing looked at him, “Did you take money from Li Rong?”

  Tang Shao twitched and defended himself, “Mr. Li only said that if something happens to Wen Lin, he was to be notified as soon as possible. I have not betrayed Wen Lin’s privacy.”

  Lu Jinlang patted Wen Jianing on the shoulder, and whispered, “Don’t be like this.”

  At this time, Li Rong had already approached, his tone was a little urgent, and he asked Tang Shao, “How is Wen Lin?”

  Tang Shao carefully explained Wen Lin’s situation again.

  Now Wen Lin was still in the operating room to deal with the fracture in his leg. They couldn’t go in and see, nor could they do other things.

  Wen Jianing asked Tang Shao, “What was going on at that time?”

  Tang Shao was a little nervous and seemed to be afraid that Wen Jianing and Li Rong would blame him for not taking care of Wen Lin. He said, “I just left for a while, I really didn’t expect something to happen.”

  Li Rong asked in a deep voice, “How can he fall off the stage?”

  Tang Shao said, “It’s the elevator platform on the stage. I don’t know why it suddenly descended. He may be too immersed in singing during rehearsal, and he didn’t notice that his foothold was empty.”

  Wen Jianing frowned and suddenly said to Li Rong, “You might as well ask him why Wen Lin went to Jiang Yongfei’s concert rehearsal. This may be closer to the truth.”

  Li Rong’s eyes sharpened at his words.

  Lu Jinlang put a hand on Wen Jianing’s shoulder, and whispered, “Don’t make assumptions.” Then he asked, “Where are the person in charge of the stage and the concert? Why does no one come to the hospital?”

  Tang Shao said, “There is someone, the person in charge of the stage, who was here just now…”

  He stopped in the middle of speaking because he saw Jiang Yongfei leading a group of people, just coming out of the elevator and walking in this direction.

  Wen Jianing turned his head and looked over, and at a glance noticed Zhu Zexin who was following Jiang Yongfei.

  Jiang Yongfei was rehearsing today, with heavy makeup on her face, a silver dress from the concert, and high heels that are at least ten centimetres high. She hurriedly walked over here. She also saw Li Rong from a distance, but she said nothing, and just asked, “Is Wen Lin all right?”

  No one answered her.

  Behind Jiang Yongfei was the person in charge of the stage of this concert. He saw Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang both here, knowing that Lu Jinlang was the big boss of Lei Xing, he quickly said, “We have started investigating who is responsible for the accident. I will definitely give you an explanation.”

  Wen Jianing looked at Zhu Zexin, who stood in place with an expressionless face.

  Li Rong turned to Lu Jinlang, “Wen Lin is a member of your company, what do you want to say?”

  Lu Jinlang took out his mobile phone to check it out, and said, “Manager Bai and Zheng Xin are both coming over soon, it would be more appropriate to leave this matter to them.”

  Li Rong nodded when he heard the words, and then said, “Well, I have something to say.” He asked Jiang Yongfei, “Why did you invite Wen Lin to be your guest at the concert?”

  Jiang Yongfei looked at him with some questions. After a while, her face changed, and she sullenly said, “What do you mean? Do you think I hurt him?”

  Of course Li Rong wouldn’t say what he meant by it, but by asking this, it was clear that he did not trust Jiang Yongfei.

  Compared with Jiang Yongfei, Wen Jianing was more suspicious of Zhu Zexin.

  Zhu Zexin was now following Jiang Yongfei, it seemed that he was following a bigger artist to make him more prosperous. In fact, his power was basically hollowed out. Unlike Wen Tinghuan who was already able to directly take charge of Wen Jianing and Jian Jun’s work in many places, he stayed with Jiang Yongfei and now could only be regarded as a small assistant.

  Who was to blame? Wen Jianing said that of course he was to blame. However, he didn’t know whether Zhu Zexin was resenting Wen Jianing or Wen Lin.

  And given the relationship between Jiang Yongfei and Wen Lin, there was no reason for her to invite Wen Lin to be her concert guest.

  Jiang Yongfei looked at Li Rong aggrievedly, and soon tears welled up in her eyes, looking like they were about to fall out.

  Wen Jianing said suddenly, “Call the police, I want to know if someone is up to no good or not.”

  However, as soon as he said that, Bai Shengzhe and Zheng Xin both approached hurriedly.

  When they heard Wen Jianing say he wanted to call the police, Zheng Xin stopped him and said to him in private, “Xinhang, don’t interfere in this matter, I’ll take care of it.”

  Wen Jianing glanced at Zhu Zexin directly and said, “I don’t believe your students.”

  Zheng Xin was a little helpless, and said in a low voice, “Tinghuan is also my student, and I am Wen Lin’s agent. Do you think I will cause Wen Lin to be injured in vain and the company suffer such a big loss?”

  Wen Jianing did not respond to him.

  Zheng Xin could only turn to Lu Jinlang for help, hoping that Lu Jinlang could persuade Wen Jianing not to come forward to argue with Jiang Yongfei.

  Lu Jinlang walked to Wen Jianing, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered in his ear, “Don’t be so impulsive and let your emotion affect your judgement at your age.”

  Wen Jianing glanced at him.

  At this time, Wen Lin’s operation was over.

  Wen Jianing agreed to Lu Jinlang and left the negotiation to Zheng Xin and Bai Shengzhe. He then went to the ward with Lu Jinlang to Wen Lin’s bed.

  Just after the operation, Wen Lin looked very weak and his entire face was pale.

  Wen Jianing couldn’t bear to ask him what happened, so he could only ask softly, “Are you okay? Is your body uncomfortable?”

  Wen Lin was still breathing oxygen mask and barely shook his head.

  Wen Jianing held his hand.

  Wen Lin’s pale lips curled slightly.

  After a while, Li Rong entered the ward.

  Wen Lin had closed his eyes and went to sleep at that time.

  Li Rong said softly to Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang, “I will stay and take care of him.”

  Wen Jianing looked at Li Rong, but did not speak.

  Li Rong laughed and said to Lu Jinlang, “Look at your baby, what’s with that look?”

  Lu Jinlang patted Wen Jianing on the shoulder, “Let’s go back first, and come and see him tomorrow.”

  It was impossible for so many people to stay with Wen Lin overnight, and under this circumstance, Li Rong had no way to do anything to Wen Lin.

  Although he was not happy that Li Rong stayed, Wen Jianing chose to go home with Lu Jinlang.

  When he took the elevator downstairs, Wen Jianing said, “You know what Li Rong thinks about Wen Lin.”

  Lu Jinlang leaned back against the elevator wall, put his arms on his chest, and said to him, “I know, so what?”

  Wen Jianing said, “Then you should know that I am not an innocent kid in my early twenties. I know what it means to be seen by Li Rong.”

  ”What does it mean?” Lu Jinlang asked him, “What do you think it means to be seen by me?”

  Wen Jianing was taken aback when he heard this question, and then said, “This is different.”

  The elevator reached the underground parking lot. Lu Jinlang took the lead and walked out, followed by Wen Jianing.

  Until he got into the car, Lu Jinlang stretched out his hands and clasped his head to look at him, and said, “Li Rong’s thoughts now may be the same as my thoughts back then.”

  Wen Jianing said, “But Wen Lin is not the same as me back then.”

  Lu Jinlang nodded, “Yes, he is different from you, so he should know how to refuse. Li Rong is not a pervert, he will not r4p3 your friends. If their relationship develops, it is their own business. Don’t intervene too much.”

  Wen Jianing was anxious, “But if they are together, Wen Lin will definitely be hurt in the future.”

  Lu Jinlang said to him, “That’s Wen Lin’s own choice. Although he is a young man in his early twenties and still needs guidance in your opinion, Li Rong was someone he wouldn’t fail to know. If he can’t understand his feelings properly, he can only be hurt and no one can help him.”

  Wen Jianing did not speak, turned his head and looked forward, he looked a little restless.

  Lu Jinlang suddenly laughed.

  Wen Jianing asked him, “What are you laughing at?”

  Lu Jinlang said, “You said you are not an innocent kid in your early twenties, but sometimes your way of thinking is not like a mature man in your thirties.”

  Wen Jianing raised his hand and ruffled his hair.

  Lu Jinlang continued, “I remember the first time I was filming with you…”

  Wen Jianing was taken aback. He knew that when Lu Jinlang was talking about the filming of ‘Duel’. It was already a very long memory for him, and it was as long as what happened in the previous life.

  ”At that time, I thought you were a little fake,” Lu Jinlang continued, “Your attitude towards the cleaning old lady is very gentle, and there is no pretension at all. Sometimes I wonder if you are tired or not for doing all that.”

  Wen Jianing laughed helplessly after hearing this.

  Lu Jinlang gently touched his neck with his hand, “But now I know, you are just a bit idealistic, not like people in this circle should be.”

  Wen Jianing said softly, “There is nothing that the people in the circle should be. I’m just here to act, and nothing more.”

Chapter 8

       Xi Feng’s legs are long and he is fast. He ran over in two steps and saw the old lady still chasing He Yunsheng, and quickly grabbed her by the arm and pulled her aside. Because Xi Feng used too much strength, the old woman’s legs were unsteady and she nearly fell again, and she kept cursing, “Shameless!”        He Yunsheng did not respond, he just suddenly squatted down, reaching out and picking up something on the ground.        Xi Feng looked over and discovered that He Yunsheng’s glasses had been knocked out just now. Not only his glasses were knocked out, when they were pulling and tugging, no one knew who stepped on it, but now the lens has broken.        He Yunsheng sighed silently.        But after the old lady cursed him for being shameless, she seemed to be exhausted. She started crying again, covering her face, and said, “Go and see him, tell him clearly to give up.”        He Yunsheng’s face slowly became red and swollen. He held the broken glasses in his hand, and calmly said to the old lady, “I have made it clear to him, and we haven’t been in contact for the past three years. So there’s no point for you to look for me.”   The old lady burst into tears. If it weren’t for Xi Feng’s support, she would have slipped and fell to the ground. She said, “He won’t listen to anyone, just go and talk to him. If you hadn’t seduced him in the first place, he wouldn’t be in this state now.”        Xi Feng saw He Yunsheng’s face turned unsightly. He wanted to say something but found himself unable to intervened because he knew nothing about He Yunsheng’s past, and he wasn’t even sure what they were arguing about.        He Yunsheng finally persuaded sincerely, “You should go. If you let me meet with him now, there is no guarantee that things will not develop in the worst way.”        The old lady was stunned, it’s unclear what she recalled, but she was lost in thought for a long time. She pushed Xi Feng away and turned and left slowly.        At first, Xi Feng felt that the old woman’s action against He Yunsheng was too despicable, but now he felt pity when he saw her staggering at an old age, so he couldn’t help but go after her and ask, “Are you okay?”        The old lady didn’t say anything and pushed him away with force to continue walking forward.    Xi Feng looked at her back, couldn’t help but looked back at He Yunsheng, and asked, “Is it okay for her to leave like this?”        He Yunsheng also looked at her back, closed his eyes and said, “There’s nothing I can do.”        There was nothing he could do. Their lives are tied in an intractable situation, and even if they spend their entire lives, they wouldn’t be able to find a solution.        Xi Feng watched He Yunsheng still clutching his broken glasses, and asked, “Are you okay? Can you still drive?”        He Yunsheng seemed to come back to his senses. He squeezed the frame with his fingers, raised his head and said to Xi Feng, “Can I trouble you to drop me off at noon to pick up a file? I have an appointment with a client.”        Xi Feng was taken aback, and said quickly, “Oh, no problem.”        When they were arguing before, the company’s colleagues were all watching from a distance. But now that they saw He Yunsheng and Xi Feng got into the car, they dispersed.        Xi Feng pulled open the driver’s seat and sat in. He then saw two female colleagues passing by their car arm in arm. They smiled and glanced back at him, suddenly feeling embarrassed.        He Yunsheng got on the passenger’s seat, rubbed his eyes tiredly, turned his head and said to Xi Feng, “Do you want to adjust the seat position?”        Xi Feng had long legs. He was curled up in the driver’s seat, looking a little bit cramped. But at this time, Xi Feng’s attention was on the two female colleagues, and he did not hear He Yunsheng’s words.        He Yunsheng then leaned over to help him pull the adjustment lever under the driver’s seat.        Xi Feng suddenly saw He Yunsheng bury his head against his legs. He was startled and ducked to the side.        He Yunsheng paused for a while, but in the end he continued to move and pulled the adjustment lever to help Xi Feng move the seat back for a while.        “Don’t worry,” He Yunsheng sat up straight and said, “I don’t have AIDS, and I don’t think of you that way.”        Xi Feng’s entire body was pressed against the car door. He could only feel that his heart was beating wildly, and his attention was still focused on the He Yunsheng sudden approach just now. He saw a part of He Yunsheng’s white neck, and even smelled a faint smell, not knowing whether it was shower gel or perfume. When he finally reacted, He Yunsheng had finished speaking for a while, and Xi Feng could only say awkwardly, “I didn’t mean that.”        He Yunsheng leaned his head back on the back of the chair. His nearsighted eyes were deprived of glasses all of a sudden and it became a little out of focus. He squinted his eyes slightly to get used to the blur in front of him, and said, “Anyway, thank you.”        There have been many unpleasant experiences between him and Xi Feng, but like what happened just now, when everyone shunned him, only Xi Feng stood up to help him.        Xi Feng was silent for a moment and asked him, “Where are you going?”        Xi Feng started the car, and he slowly drove forward. He has been holding his driver’s license for a long time, but he has not driven much, so he appears to be extra cautious.        He Yunsheng looked tired, and sat next to him without saying a word.        Xi Feng focused on driving and didn’t dare to be distracted.   After arriving at the destination, He Yunsheng got out of the car to get the document. Xi Feng parked the car in the parking lot on the roadside and waited for him. After a while, he saw He Yunsheng coming out of the building next to him, squinting slightly and looking around, so he honked the horn.        He Yunsheng followed the sound, and stood beside the car door and said to him: “Let’s eat first, and then go back eating.”        “Oh, okay,” Hearing He Yunsheng’s suggestion, Xi Feng agreed without hesitation.        After Xi Feng got out of the car, the two of them walked along the side of the road. Before walking to the restaurant, He Yunsheng saw an optical shop, so he went in and got a new pair of glasses, and then came out to get back after the meal.        Later, they could only find a western restaurant nearby. They went in and sat down. He Yunsheng said, “I’ll treat you as a thanks for accompanying me on this trip..”        When Xi Feng heard the words, he said quickly, “It doesn’t matter, I’ll pay.”        He Yunsheng didn’t have the strength to argue with him, and only said, “Let’s put the matter aside after eating.”        While waiting for the meal, Xi Feng looked at He Yunsheng on the opposite side, and finally couldn’t help but ask, “What was that just now…?”        He Yunsheng didn’t want to answer, “It’s nothing.”   Xi Feng grabbed the phone, turned the screen on for a while, then locked it again. After turning over and over, he couldn’t help saying, “I won’t tell anyone. In fact I thought about it for quite a while afterwards, and I think I can understand it.”        He Yunsheng looked at him, “Understand about what?”        Xi Feng said quickly, “Understand about people like you…”        As a result, He Yunsheng let out a laugh that sounded like a sneer, “People like us, huh.”        Xi Feng was embarrassed again, his mouth moved and said nothing.        He Yunsheng took a deep breath and said, “That was my ex-boyfriend’s mother just now.”        Xi Feng had already guessed it in his heart, but at this time his attention was a little off, he asked He Yunsheng, “You have an ex-boyfriend?”        He Yunsheng felt a little funny, “If I don’t have an ex-boyfriend, how do you guys know that I am gay?”        Xi Feng didn’t actually mean that. He just suddenly thought: Then did He Yunsheng have sex with his ex-boyfriend? How did he do it?        Perhaps He Yunsheng has suppressed the thoughts for a long time. He raised his hand and wiped his face, “We have been together since college and have experienced a lot of things. But three years ago he planned to get married, we broke up at that time.”        Although he said the words very simply now, but at that time, the two people had a big fight.        He Yunsheng’s ex-boyfriend’s name is Xu Fengjie. He was a senior at his university, a grade higher than him. At that time, Xu Fengjie took the initiative to pursue He Yunsheng, and it took almost a year for the two to get together. Xu Fengjie treats him very well, and He Yunsheng also likes him very much. In the years they have been together, they rarely even quarreled.        Then when Xu Fengjie was in his early thirties, he was unable to bear the pressure of the family, and he dated a woman he met on a blind date.        He didn’t tell He Yunsheng about the woman at the beginning, even until they were talking about marriage and getting married. He Yunsheng only knew about it from others.        He Yunsheng was disgusted at the time. He packed his things and moved out of the house they bought together. He didn’t expect Xu Fengjie wanted to continue to maintain a relationship with He Yunsheng while planning to get married.        It was later at the time when Xu Fengjie pestered He Yunsheng on the street that he was seen by others. After he was seen by other colleagues, the fact that He Yunsheng is gay was spread throughout the company.        “Is he married?” Xi Feng asked, wondering in his heart why his mother would come to pester He Yunsheng when that man was already married.        He Yunsheng nodded, took a sip of lemonade on the table, “He was married, and divorced three years later.”        Xi Feng was stunned, and asked incomprehensibly, “What does his mother mean by looking for you?”        He Yunsheng held the water glass in silence for a while, then slowly said, “He attempted to commit suicide due to depression. He said he wanted to see me, so his mother hoped that I could meet him and told him that there’s no possibility for us two in the future.”        Xi Feng suddenly felt heavy. He didn’t understand why, but he felt quite uncomfortable. He stared at He Yunsheng for a long time and said, “Don’t go…”        He Yunsheng said, “I didn’t plan to go, and breaking up means everything is over. From now on, his life has nothing to do with me.”        Xi Feng didn’t want He Yunsheng to see his ex-boyfriend, but he didn’t know why he thought that way. It was as if he was worried that He Yunsheng would feel weak when he went to see him, and then they would get back together. After all, the man has been divorced, and He Yunsheng was still alone, right?        As he thought of this, Xi Feng couldn’t restrain his curiosity, and asked, “What about your family? Can they accept it?”        He Yunsheng said in a calm tone, “My father has passed away, and my mother remarried when I was very young. Now she has her own family.”        Xi Feng said in a low voice, “I’m sorry.”   He Yunsheng smiled, “It’s fine. You made the right decision to stay away from me. The feeling of being looked at by everyone with strange eyes is really uncomfortable. I’ve been holding back these words for a long time, and I haven’t found anyone to talk about those things. I feel a little more comfortable saying those out loud. “        Xi Feng lowered his head, crossed his fingers and rubbed his thumb uncomfortably.        The waiter brought the meal they ordered.        He Yunsheng said, “Let’s eat, we should go back after eating.”        After eating, Xi Feng rushed to pay the bills, so He Yunsheng did not insist.        They went to pick up He Yunsheng’s glasses on the way back, and when they returned, He Yunsheng was the one who drove instead.        Xi Feng sat in the passenger seat and kept secretly observing He Yunsheng’s from the corner of his eyes until his mobile phone rang. The call came from Xu Qing, and Xi Feng suddenly didn’t want to answer it. But the phone kept ringing. He Yunsheng glanced at him and said, “Why don’t you answer it?”        So Xi Feng answered the phone, and Xu Qing asked him if he had eaten lunch. He said, “I went out with my boss for an official business.”        Xu Qing complained, “You are still being exploited during the lunch break?”        Xi Feng could only laugh dryly and said, “I’ll tell you when I come back.” Then he hung up the phone.        He thought He Yunsheng would ask him something, but He Yunsheng didn’t ask anything. He just drove the car quietly until he went back to the company’s underground parking lot. He Yunsheng parked the car and turned his head, and said to Xi Feng again, “Thank you.”        Xi Feng always felt that the relationship between him and He Yunsheng would change after this time, but in the end it seemed like nothing had changed.        Of course, He Yunsheng doesn’t look at him coldly when he meets him occasionally in the company, but at most he just nods to him.        As the time passed, no one mentioned the rumours about him and He Yunsheng again, plus Xi Feng already has a girlfriend. It was just a joke to begin with, and no one really thought Xi Feng was a homosexual.        Everyone is gradually forgetting this matter, even He Yunsheng seems to have forgotten about the matter. The only person who still cares about it is Xi Feng.
The author has something to say: I supposed everyone has forgotten the previous plot!

Chapter 88

  That night, Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang were still in the same tent. They went down the mountain in the direction of the current this afternoon. If they estimate well, they should be able to go out from this jungle mountain tomorrow.

  He was lying side by side with Lu Jinlang in the tent, and Wen Jianing turned his back to him.

  Lu Jinlang was lying flat on his back, seemed to move his arm carelessly, and touched Wen Jianing’s back.

  After a while, Wen Jianing crawled out of the sleeping bag.

  ”Where are you going?” Lu Jinlang asked.

  Wen Jianing said, “I’m going to the toilet.”

  Lu Jinlang put one hand under his head, and watching that Wen Jianing had stood up, he said, “I’ll go with you.”

  He came out of the tent and walked towards the woods next to him, out of the range of the camera.

  Lu Jinlang grabbed Wen Jianing’s arm and said, “Don’t go too far, watch out for the wild animals.”

  Wen Jianing stopped, turned around, put his arms around Lu Jinlang’s shoulder and said, “Your luck’s not bad today, huh?”

  Lu Jinlang smiled upon hearing this, “You think so?”

  Wen Jianing did not speak. He was somewhat upset when he saw Zhao Qin holding Lu Jinlang like that, but there was nothing to be angry about. First, Lu Jinlang was not interested in her, and secondly, she was also frightened.

  Lu Jinlang reached out and touched his face, and said, “You know I like men.” He was not the same as Wen Jianing. He had not been interested in women since his adolescence.

       “Can’t get it hard,” Lu Jinlang whispered in Wen Jianing’s ear.

  Wen Jianing smiled, put his head on Lu Jinlang’s shoulder, and sighed heavily.

  ”Tired?” Lu Jinlang asked him.

  Wen Jianing said, “A bit, but it’s quite interesting. I am afraid it will be difficult to have these experiences in the future.”

  Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand and patted his back lightly, “It’s okay, we’re probably going down the mountain tomorrow, and we can go back the day after tomorrow.”

  Wen Jianing nodded, and said after a while, “With so many people today, I am afraid that photos and videos of Zhao Qin’s incident will be posted on the Internet.”

  Lu Jinlang said, “I will talk to Zhao Qin about whether or not these shots should be leaked out. She will talk to the program team and the TV station by herself, and I could help if she needs my help.”

  Wen Jianing looked up at him, “Do you think she will voluntarily leak it out?”

  Lu Jinlang smiled, “If I were her, maybe I would. As for what she thinks, I don’t know.”

  Wen Jianing said, “You don’t mind?”

  Lu Jinlang said in his ear, “Movie promotion, you have been filming for so many years. It’s not like you wouldn’t understand it.”

  Wen Jianing understood what Lu Jinlang meant, sighed again, and said, “I’m lucky.”

  Lu Jinlang touched his head and kissed the top of his head.

  At this time, both of them heard footsteps coming in their direction at the same time.

  Wen Jianing immediately released Lu Jinlang, took a step back, and then walked in the direction of the sound. He had a flashlight in his hand that he turned off when he was talking to Lu Jinlang just now. At this time, he turned on the flashlight again and aimed at the person coming.

  The people who came over also had flashlights in their hands, and they all saw each other.

  When he saw that the person here was Jian Jun, Wen Jianing relaxed slightly, and asks, “Going to pee?”

  Jian Jun nodded and was about to speak when he noticed that there was another person behind Wen Jianing. He raised the flashlight and was taken aback when he saw Lu Jinlang.

  Wen Jianing said, “We should go back.”

  He didn’t say what he was doing, probably by default, they all just came out to pee.

  It’s not easy for Jian Jun to ask. When passing by Lu Jinlang, he greeted, “Director Lu.”

  Lu Jinlang nodded to him.

  Jian Jun couldn’t help turning his head to look at the back of the two leaving. He saw Lu Jinlang step forward and put his arm around Wen Jianing’s waist. Although he had guessed it a long time ago, Jian Jun suddenly felt an unexplainable melancholy at this time. He sighed and continued to walk towards the depths of the woods.

  They woke up the next morning and continued down the mountain along the road by the river. As expected, it went smoothly and they found traces of people walking and surviving.

  Wen Jianing realized what it was like to be exhausted. Although it was only three days, he felt that this experience would not be forgotten for a lifetime.

  Lu Jinlang was also a little out of step, and the only one who was still in high spirits was Matthew.

  He saw that there was a road from a distance, and immediately ran off the hillside, then stood in the middle of the road and started stopping the car.

  They finally stopped a small truck. It was late at the time and there were almost no other cars passing by. They crowded into the same car and were sent to the nearest village.

       Although it was a remote mountain village, there were still young people who recognized Lu Jinlang, and a young girl even recognized Wen Jianing.

  It was not easy to find a place to stay, and it took them a long time to finally settled down. When they finally settled in, it was completely dark.

  The program team then borrowed a kitchen from a family and paid for some vegetables and pork, and the four guests would cook a meal for Matthew to show their appreciation for his help over the past few days.

  The kitchen had a wood-burning cooker.

  Among the four guests, only Lu Jinlang could cook, and even Zhao Qin did not.

  So several people divided their work among themselves, washing vegetables, cutting meat, and burning fire. Lu Jinlang was in charge of the kitchen himself.

  The cameraman was taking pictures of Lu Jinlang’s cooking, and he suddenly sighed, “So cool.”

  Lu Jinlang turned his head to look at the camera and smiled.

       The cameraman was a man in his early thirties, and then he said, “Your wife must be very happy in the future.”

  Lu Jinlang was still smiling and did not speak.

  After dinner was made, everyone had a lively meal together and drank some beer.

  Tonight was the last filming. The shooting would be over until they go to bed. Naturally, a car would come to pick them up and they would return to the city tomorrow morning.

  The rooms for lodging were limited, and the crew still found an open space to set up a tent.

  In the end, Lu Jinlang did not have to share a bed with Wen Jiaying.

  As he sat on the bed, Wen Jianing said goodnight to the camera, then turned off the light in the room and lay on the bed.

  The cameraman turned off the camera and finished shooting.

  Wen Jianing stood up again and shook hands with him, and said, “It’s been hard these few days.”

  The cameraman waved his hand, took the camera out of his room, and went to sleep in the tent outside.

  Wen Jianing lay down and felt the darkness and silence of the night inside the mountain village. His body was exhausted to the extreme. Now the environment was pretty good, and he almost fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

  However, after falling asleep for only a few minutes, someone knocked on his door from outside.

  Wen Jianing opened his eyes in a daze, and heard Zhao Qin asking outside, “Can I come in?”

  Before he could answer, Zhao Qin pushed the door directly in. These days, he had become accustomed to sleeping outdoors, and with the film crew outside the courtyard, he didn’t even remember to lock the door just now.

  There was no light in the room, Zhao Qin went directly to the bed and sat down, and said, “Director Lu, I can’t sleep, can we have a chat?”

  Wen Jianing was taken aback and remembered that after eating just now, he temporarily decided to change rooms with Lu Jinlang. Zhao Qin and the others probably didn’t know. Zhao Qin was now surprisingly mistaking him for Lu Jinlang.

  Zhao Qin didn’t get a response, and said to himself, “Director Lu, what did you say I should do about the incident yesterday?”

  Wen Jianing said at this moment, “You seem to have gone to the wrong room.”

  Zhao Qin stood up suddenly in shock, raised his voice and said, “Who are you?”

  ”Shh—” Wen Jianing whispered, “You should keep your voice down, and don’t let the TV station people hear it.”

  Zhao Qin stammered and said, “Xinhang ge…?”

  Wen Jianing said, “Well, you walked to the wrong room. I think that Director Lu is already asleep at this time, so go back to sleep.”

  Zhao Qin heard the words and quickly said, “Oh, sorry, I went to the wrong room. We had better rest early.” After that, she hurriedly walked out of the room and closed the door.

  Wen Jianing waited until she left and remained sitting on the bed, and wondered if Zhao Qin would go back to the room where Lu Jinlang was staying? Should he go and see? But after he thought about it, even if Zhao Qin touched Lu Jinlang on the bed, Lu Jinlang couldn’t get it up. He worried too much, and he should go to bed earlier. Lu Jinlang was an adult, there was nothing to be scared of, presumably, Matthew and Jian Jun would not be interested in touching him in bed.

  The three days of shooting ended.

  After returning home, Wen Jianing rested at home for nearly a week before feeling fully recovered.

  The show hadn’t even aired yet, but it had already become a hit on the internet because of the photo of Zhao Qin that had gone viral.

  Zhao Qin and the name of the show were on the hot search list for a while.

  When Zhao Qin was mentioned, it was inevitable to mention that she was acting in a movie directed by Lu Jinlang. For a while, many people on the internet berated the hype, and no one knew whether it was for Zhao Qin or a movie, but no matter whether the photos came out for hype or not, they achieved the desired effect.

  Wen Jianing asked Lu Jinlang, “You let Zhao Qin leak the photos?”

  Lu Jinlang shook his head, “I didn’t say anything.”

  At that time, two people sat on the sofa and watched the evening news.

  Wen Jianing propped his head with one hand, “Did Zhao Qin talk to you that night?”

  ”Which night?” Lu Jinlang asked him.

  Wen Jianing didn’t speak and glanced towards the middle of Lu Jinlang’s legs and just smiled.

  Later, they appeared on a talk show. This time Lu Jinlang only took Wen Jianing and Jian Jun. It was a serious talk show with a serious atmosphere.

  Although Wen Jianing and Jian Jun were to accompany him, the host focused his main attention on Lu Jinlang, with questions one after another.

  When the question comes to private affairs, the host asked him, “How is your relationship now?”

  Lu Jinlang was silent and shook his head. In fact, he could have chosen to half-hide it, such as telling the other party that he had a stable love interest but did not intend to disclose it. But he denied it because he knew that once he admitted it, it would arouse the curiosity of the media. He was afraid that he would be surrounded and intercepted, and finally, expose the relationship between him and Wen Jianing.

  The host asked again, “What kind of girl do you like?”

  Lu Jinlang said, “There is no preference. Because when you finally fell in love, you might find that it might be someone you thought in the past that you would never have a relationship with.”

  The host smiled, “It’s a bit ambiguous.”

  Lu Jinlang smiled and told the host, “Just don’t block your way. You can’t ever be sure who you will fall in love with.”

  When he said this, Wen Jianing, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, also smiled.

  When the host asked him later, he said, “I agree with Director Lu on this.”


The author has something to say:

It’s just a simple survival in the wilderness… like Bear Grylls kind

Chapter 7

       In the afternoon, when Xi Feng went to see He Yunsheng, he also brought two bags of cold medicine. Of course, the cold medicine was not his, but he asked for it from a female colleague in the office.

       The female colleague asked him if he had a cold, but Xi Feng just hummed and didn’t answer.

       At this time, it was the time for the finance department closing period. When Xi Feng entered the large office, he saw that everyone was immersed in work, and no one noticed him.

       This was a good thing for him. The last thing he wanted was to let everyone know that he was looking for He Yunsheng.

       He took a deep breath, thinking that although He Yunsheng had some problems, he shouldn’t discriminate against him, but at the same time he was afraid that he would be treated as the same kind of person as He Yunsheng, so he was struggling internally.

       He Yunsheng is in his small office.

       Xi Feng knocked on the door.

       He Yunsheng thought it was his subordinate, and said without looking up, “Come in.”

       Xi Feng walked in and saw that He Yunsheng did not realize that it was him, so he put the cold medicines on his desk, and at the same time asked, “Is your cold better?”

       He Yunsheng looked up in astonishment, his eyes under the lens showed some surprise, “Why are you here?”

  Xi Feng stood next to his desk with his hands in his pockets. His tall figure blocked the light, giving a sense of oppression. He glanced at He Yunsheng’s computer screen and said, “I hope you don’t catch a cold, I came here to see you.”

  He Yunsheng was a little puzzled, but he said politely, “Thank you.”

  Then the conversation ended.

  Xi Feng noticed some discomfort at this time, but he didn’t say anything and continued to say, “You seemed busy, huh?”

  He Yunsheng responded, “Yes.”

  At this time, someone hurriedly knocked on the door outside, yelling, “Manager!”

  He Yunsheng raised his head and replied, “Please come in.”

  It was an employee from the finance department who opened the door and came in. At first, he was surprised when he saw Xi Feng standing inside, but he didn’t care about what he was doing because of the work at hand, and he hurried to He Yunsheng and told him that there was a problem with the report.

  He Yunsheng then took the report and looked at it, without paying attention to Xi Feng.

  Xi Feng really felt embarrassed at this time, he reluctantly smiled and said, “Then I will go first.”

  The two people in the office didn’t bother to answer him.

  Xi Feng left unhappily.

  Only when he left the office did He Yunsheng raise his head to look at his back, then lowered his head to continue analyzing the reports with the staff.

  When he left the finance department’s big office and walked down the corridor, Xi Feng still couldn’t get rid of that almost melancholy mood.

  He didn’t know what was going on with him, but even when he first met He Yunsheng and was not close with him, He Yunsheng had not been so indifferent to him.

  Xi Feng’s head was in a mess, he found that he could not figure out what He Yunsheng was thinking. At the same time, he was a little at a loss to find out that he didn’t know what he wanted to do to He Yunsheng.

  Does he want to go back to how it used to be? It’s almost impossible, right? He was the one who wanted to end their relation in the first place.

  He felt a little dull in his heart, as if there’s some pressure that’s making him hard to breathe.

  Before leaving work in the afternoon, Xu Qing texted Xi Feng and asked him if he would like to have dinner together at night.

  Xi Feng stared at the phone screen for a while and did not refuse.

  Although it was an invitation to test him by the other party, Xi Feng’s choice to accept it meant that the relationship between the two should continue to develop.

  From that day on, the two began dating.

  He didn’t dare to boast around, because he is afraid to let other people in the company know. So they exchange text messages before work, to pack together for a meal, go shopping, and watch movies after work.

  Xi Feng doesn’t like Xu Qing, but he thinks that feelings of love can be cultivated. As long as two people get along for a long time, they will always gradually become intimate.

  But in the past one or two months, Xi Feng has never come out of his absent-minded state.

  They are still going somewhat strong at the beginning, but after a long time, being with Xu Qing every day feels like completing a task; eating meals that he didn’t want to eat, watching movies that he didn’t want to watch, but because of their relationship, he couldn’t easily refuse.

  Xi Feng felt that he was under a bit of pressure.

  So two months later, after hearing the news of his grandmother’s poor health, Xi Feng resolutely took his annual leave and planned to go back to his hometown.

  Xu Qing was taken aback when she found out Xi Feng was asking for a leave suddenly, and said, “I was going to take time off to hang out with you.”

  Xi Feng hastily apologized, “My family suddenly called me that my grandmother is sick and wants to see me, so I have to go back.”

  At this point, Xu Qing can’t say anything more. She can only compromise, “Then once you go back, we’ll see where we can go on the National Day.*”

  Xi Feng responded with a smile, “Okay.”

  After that, he drove back to his hometown. On the way, Xi Feng kept thinking about his relationship with Xu Qing. If being together does not make you feel happy but only pressure, then shouldn’t he end it as soon as possible for the sake of them both?

  But after going around for so long, the people he likes don’t like him, and the people who like him are the ones he has no feelings for. How difficult is it to meet a suitable person?

  Is it possible that he is destined to be a bachelor in this life?

  Xi Feng took a deep breath, and he felt restless.

  When he returned to his hometown, his grandmother is in good condition. Her body was old and sick, and her condition has been going back and forth again and again every year. When Xi Feng was notified, his mother just mentioned it casually, saying that grandma had been in the hospital, and she didn’t expect that he would just rush back.

  At home, his mother prepared his bed and asked him, “Do you have a girlfriend?”

  Xi Feng immediately thought of Xu Qing, but still replied casually, “No.”

  Mom said, “You can start to think about it.”

  After that, nothing more was said.

  The next day he went to grandma’s house. Since Xi Feng had come all the way back, his father’s siblings were all called back by his grandmother, and the large family had a meal together.

  During the meal, Xi Feng realized that his aunt’s mood was not quite right, and his mother was talking about something in a low voice to the aunt.

  Xi Feng found it hard to ask about it at that time, and later asked his mother after they returned.

  In the end, his mother told him that Xi’s aunt eldest son, who was also Xi Feng’s eldest cousin, was gay.

  Xi Feng was taken aback at the time. He has lived for more than 20 years. Before, he always thought that homosexuality was an uncommon word that only appeared in novels or TV. How come one or two people around him have become homosexual now?

  His mom seemed to sighed with sorrow. She said that the eldest cousin did not get married when he was in his thirties, and later admitted to the family that he was gay. He also had a boyfriend who was beaten out by his dad. Fortunately, there is still a young man at home, otherwise, what should they do if there are two old people left.

  These words made Xi Feng very uncomfortable, and suddenly he remembered He Yunsheng.

  The whole company knows that He Yunsheng is gay, and his family probably knows it too. Speaking of which, He Yunsheng should be in his thirties this year, and Xi Feng doesn’t know how he dealt with these pressures.

  Hearing his mother still rambling, Xi Feng could not help but say, “Homosexuality is not a perversion ……”

  Mom glanced at him, “Young people these days. Anyway, our generation can’t accept it.”

  The topic did not continue.

  Xi Feng and his eldest cousin have been in a good relationship since they were young. But afterwards, as adults, they lived in a different place and eventually broke contact. At this point he hesitated to give his eldest cousin a call. After hesitating for a long time, he finally gave up. What to say after the call? He certainly can’t ask him: Eldest cousin, how come you become gay?

  A week’s vacation passed in a flash.

  For Xi Feng, the escape can only be temporary. When the short escape is over, he still has to come back to work in the company and face Xu Qing.

  Let’s break up!

  This thought is getting stronger and stronger in his head. Sitting on the bay window in the living room the day before work, Xi Feng repeatedly stroked his cell phone, struggling fiercely whether to send a text message to Xu Qing or not.

  Because once they broke up, he had to find another woman again and try to establish another relationship again. And the woman he likes may still not like him, or he can’t find anyone he likes, so he can only find the next Xu Qing.

  In the end, the text message was not sent.

  Xi Feng went to work the next day, carrying a bunch of souvenirs from his hometown. He gave some to his boss and colleagues in the same department, and the remaining two bags are for Xu Qing, and the other is for He Yunsheng.

  The bag for Xu Qing is the same as the gifts for other colleagues, but the one for He Yunsheng was specially selected.

  Xi Feng did not know why he had to select a gift for He Yunsheng, but when he saw some dried wild herbs, he instantly remembered a sweet taste and He Yunsheng at the same time.

  This clean and sweet taste seems to suit He Yunsheng.

  Since that time he left He Yunsheng’s office unhappily, and the two people have not talked directly afterwards. Xi Feng sometimes thinks that He Yunsheng should like him, but sometimes he is not so sure.

  He started to pay more attention to He Yunsheng more than ever, but He Yunsheng completely regarded him as a stranger.

  At that time, he planned to improve the relationship, but after being treated indifferently, he also wanted to give up. Now, Xi Feng bought the present and said to himself that it was just for his colleagues, and he is just like other colleagues.

  Didn’t He Yunsheng bring him raisins? At that time, he refused the gift to hurt the other party, and now he wanted to make amends.

  Unfortunately, Xi Feng did not have the time to send the gift to He Yunsheng all morning. Even if he takes time off for a week, his work load is still the same, and even piled up so much that he is afraid that he will not be free for several days in a row.

  He thought he would have to accompany Xu Qing for lunch, but Xu Qing sent a message before lunch, saying that she had to go out with her colleagues at noon, so Xi Feng was free, and other colleagues did not invited him, so he could only slowly pack up the documents and go out for lunch by myself.

  As soon as he walked out of the company entrance, Xi Feng saw He Yunsheng’s car parked on the side of the road.

  He was a little conscious to He Yunsheng’s car, even he has memorized his license plate number for a long time.

  Xi Feng slowed down.

  He Yunsheng was sitting inside the car, but pulled open the door and walked to the front, saying something to an old lady. The old lady seemed a bit agitated, and He Yunsheng seemed to be trying to calm her down.

  Xi Feng suddenly thought of his big cousin, and he wondered if the old lady was He Yunsheng’s mother.

  As a result, the old lady got more and more agitated as she spoke, and later ran to the front of He Yunsheng’s car and lay down.

  It was time for lunch. Many colleagues in the company went out from the main entrance and just saw this scene. Xi Feng found that many people around him stopped to watch the excitement.

  He Yunsheng walked over to help the old lady up. The old lady was not as strong as him, and after making her stand up with his arm, she suddenly slapped He Yunsheng’s hand and gave him a slap in the face.

  A girl next to Xi Feng covered her mouth and gasped.

  The slap was very hard, and everyone around could hear the sharp sound, and He Yunsheng’s head was also tilted.

  Xi Feng couldn’t bear it anymore, and ran in the direction of He Yunsheng and the others.

Chapter 87

  Later, Wen Jianing and Jian Jun came out of the woods with some dry branches, and Matthew set up a fire by himself and set it on fire.

  They boiled a little hot water in the small pot they brought and ate the biscuits they brought with them for dinner.

  Matthew sat by the fire and told them what they could and could not eat if they had not brought food with them.

  Wen Jianing asked jokingly, “Do you really can eat insects?”

  Matthew said, “Of course, it is a high-protein food, which can provide you with the calories you need. But not all insects can be eaten.”

  He demonstrated that he made a trap not far from the camp where they slept to see if he could catch any critters at night.

  ”Will there be beasts?” Zhao Qin asked, she felt cold and held her shoulders close to the fire.

  Matthew said, “It’s hard to tell, but there are too many people here, so it’s relatively safe.”

  Of course, the program group didn’t want to see any beasts appear. They didn’t want to risk such a big cost for the ratings. They brought some tools and snake repellent powder with them and arranged them around the camp.

  Matthew had been very generous to convey to them the essentials of survival in the wild, some of the more professional terms of plants and animals, Wen Jianing actually didn’t quite understand it, but Lu Jinlang listened very seriously, and from time to time he spoke a few words to him in English.

  When he saw that it was almost time, Matthew stood up and said it was time to rest.

  Three tents were present, the single one was of course reserved for Zhao Qin, and it was built in the middle of the two two-person tents. There were four men left, two of whom live in one room.

  For Wen Jianing, it was not a big problem who stayed with him, because in this environment, it was impossible to sleep with their clothes and pants off.

  But Matthew glanced at the three of them, and casually said to Jian Jun who was closer to him, “Why don’t you sleep with me?”

  Jian Jun raised his head to look at him and nodded without comment.

  Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang looked at each other.

  Living in a tent with Lu Jinlang was perfect for Wen Jianing. But there were also cameras in the tent, which made him feel a little difficult because they couldn’t be too tacit and casual, and they couldn’t look too strange in front of the camera.

  Two people living together had to pretend to be ordinary friends. Wen Jianing felt that this unscripted play was more difficult than any movie.

  Wen Jianing asked Lu Jinlang, “Director Lu, are you going to rest?”

  Lu Jinlang smiled slightly, got up and patted the grass off his body, and walked towards the tent.

  They went into the tent to rest, and the cameraman who was shooting should also stop working and go back to rest.

  Wen Jianing followed to the tent and saw Lu Jinlang packing two sleeping bags inside. He stood there for a while, then turned around and left.

  Lu Jinlang asked, “Where are you going?”

  Wen Jianing whispered, “To pee.”

  Lu Jinlang couldn’t accompany him, so he could only simply say, “Be careful.”

  Wen Jianing came back after a while.

  Although the tent was a two-person tent, the sleeping bags were all single. He and Lu Jinlang slept side by side, got into their own sleeping bags, and maintained a short distance between them.

  ”Is it cold?” Lu Jinlang asked.

  Wen Jianing said, “It’s okay.” After a while, he said, “Perhaps it’ll be better if I sleep.”

  He was very tired, but he couldn’t sleep for a while in this environment.

  Wen Jianing whispered, “Director Lu, are you asleep?”

  Lu Jinlang was silent for a moment, and replied, “No.”

  Wen Jianing turned over. There were many topics to talk about if he and Lu Jinlang were to chat. Unfortunately, he couldn’t say a word in this environment. After he thought about it, he could only ask, “The movie is about to be released. Are you nervous?”

  Regardless of whether this episode could be broadcasted at the end, they must hurry up and promote the movie.

  Lu Jinlang knew his thoughts, smiled, and said, “I’m not nervous, I have confidence in you.”

  Wen Jianing said, “We have confidence in you, too.”

  The two people talked softly. The content of the chat was about the previous filming, and they had a good sense of propriety. After talking about it, Wen Jianing became sleepy and his voice became quieter, so Lu Jinlang also fell silent and said nothing more.

  Under such harsh circumstances, Wen Jianing still slept until dawn.

  When he woke up in the morning, he was still half-asleep. He found that his head was resting on Lu Jinlang’s shoulder, and he was surrounded by a calm and familiar atmosphere. He almost reflexively raised his hand to touch Lu Jinlang’s face. However, when he touched it, he suddenly reacted that there was a camera shooting overhead. He immediately continued to reach out and changed to a stretching posture.

  Lu Jinlang woke up, stretched his back, then sat up and asked, “Did you sleep well?”

  Wen Jianing was in a cold sweat, and he was completely awake, but he still pretended to be lazy and didn’t want to get up, and said, “Morning, Director Lu.”

  They packed their things and continued to set off.

  Today’s task was to climb to the highest point of the mountain, then looked for the current, and then followed the direction of the current down the mountain. Tonight they would continue to sleep in the street, and tomorrow, if they could descend smoothly, they would spend the night near the village below the mountain.

  The trap Matthew set up last night turned out to be rewarding. He caught a passing vole. Early in the morning, Matthew skinned the voles and roasted them on the fire. When Wen Jianing and the others woke up, he asked them if they wanted to eat them.

  The small vole didn’t have much meat, and Matthew used a knife to divide it into small pieces.

  Wen Jianing hesitated while holding it, but turned his head to see that Lu Jinlang and Jian Jun both swallowed it in one bite. He thought not to mind it, and he put it in his mouth.

  Only Zhao Qin refused to eat.

  Matthew teased her and delivered the vole meat to her mouth. She screamed and ran around the fire, hiding behind Lu Jinlang, covering her mouth with one hand and shaking her head quickly.

  After the “breakfast”, they packed their things and continued to climb the mountain.

  Yesterday was actually better since he just felt a little tired. But today, Wen Jianing started to feel the muscle aches caused by excessive exercise yesterday. He had a feeling that there was a long way to go, and at least they would spend the whole day in the mountains.

  But they were not on the road all the time. Because this was a variety show, Matthew would explain a lot of knowledge about living in the wilderness along the way, and even waste some time deliberately looking for some creatures to show them.

  Even so, Zhao Qin quickly couldn’t hold on. In addition to fatigue and muscle soreness throughout her body, she stopped to rest after walking for less than an hour and then insisted on going forward only when she felt she could continue.

  Before noon, Matthew led them to find a valley. The river meandered and circled down the mountain.

  Matthew stood on a high place and looked down, pointed his finger in the river and said excitedly, “Look, there are fish!”

  They planned to go down the river valley to catch fish. There was a big smooth rock wall next to the river valley, and there was nowhere to go if they wanted to go down.

  Matthew decided to demonstrate weaving a rope with vines. Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang helped him collect vines. He demonstrated how to tie knots and asked them to try to tie a few knots.

  Then Matthew was the first to climb the vines, and the remaining people looked at each other. They couldn’t let Zhao Qin climb down last, so they decided that after Lu Jinlang and Jian Jun went down, Zhao Qin followed, and Wen Jianing would be last.

  It was not difficult for Lu Jinlang and Jian Jun to go down, but it was not easy for Zhao Qin. She grabbed the vines and stomped on the smooth rock wall with her feet. In the end, her hands were out of strength and she almost slid down. Lu Jinlang and Jian Jun reached out and caught her below.

  When it was Wen Jianing’s turn, he climbed down a long way. When he was about two meters away from the landing, a vine knot at hand was a little loose.

  He was startled, one of his hands quickly clasped a small protruding stone on the side of the rock wall, and at the same time, the vine broke off and fell onto the rocky beach by the river.

  When he saw this movement, Lu Jinlang’s heart could not help but rise and fall.

  Matthew put his hands around his mouth, shouting loudly to let him not be afraid, and slowly climb down.

  But Wen Jianing found that there was nowhere to go.

  As a result, he ended up almost sliding down too, with Lu Jinlang and Jian Jun holding him up on either side so that he did not fall to the ground.

  Wen Jianing raised his hand, his fingers were almost worn out, he turned his head and glanced at Lu Jinlang.

  Lu Jinlang also saw it. When he lowered his head and was about to open the bag and search for band-aids, Jian Jun said in surprise, “Your hand! I’ll get you a band-aid!”

  And after he finished saying this, Lu Jinlang had already fished out the band-aid.

  Zhao Qin also came around. She probably thought that she was the only girl in the group, with delicate hands. She reached out and grabbed the band-aid in Lu Jinlang’s hand and said, “I’ll do it.”

  Wen Jianing glanced at Lu Jinlang and stretched his fingers over.

  Zhao Qin carefully put band-aids on each of his fingers.

  Several people here are a little nervous because of Wen Jianing’s hand injury, and even the director personally climbed down with a climbing rope and came to ask him whether the injury was serious and whether it would affect the subsequent recording. But Matthew didn’t think it was a big deal. He had experienced countless harsh environments, and these minor injuries were common to him.

  He had tied the knife to a wooden stick, then waved to beckon them to come and spearfish.

  Zhao Qin was happy as long as she heard that she didn’t have to continue on the road, she was the one who stood first and walked over.

  Jian Jun hesitated for a moment and ran in the direction of Matthew to see him spearfishing.

  Only Lu Jinlang asked him, “Does it hurt a lot?”

  Wen Jianing shook his head and reached out to Lu Jinlang to let him pull himself up, walked towards the river with him, and said, “It’s okay, I will also catch a fish for you to eat.”

  To catch a fish, they must enter the water.

  All of them took off their hiking boots and stepped into the water barefoot.

  Next to him, Zhao Qin squealed because the river was so cold, even Wen Jianing couldn’t help but shiver, and then concentrated on using the small knife and fork fish he brought.

  Matthew kept saying, “Be careful of your feet.”

  Actually, he didn’t need them to remind everyone because everyone was also very careful. More than ten minutes had passed and no one had gained anything.

  Suddenly, Zhao Qin stepped on a small stone and couldn’t stand firmly, and fell to the side. Wen Jianing was the closest to her and stretched out her hand to give her a hand. Unfortunately, Zhao Qin had lost her balance. Not only did she fall down, but she also pulled Wen Jianing into the water.

  The water reached the knee-deep, and the two of them sat in, almost completely drenched.

  When Matthew saw them, he laughed twice and said, “I’m going to make a fire. You guys think of a way to dry your clothes quickly.”

  In order to simplify his load, Wen Jianing only brought a change of clothes inside but didn’t bring extra clothes and pants. At this time, he became a little nervous.

  Lu Jinlang immediately said to Jian Jun, “Help them find towels. First, find clothes they can use to change and go look for rocks over there they could go behind to change.”

  Then he went to the director of the program group to discuss, saying that it was impossible for them to be photographed in their underwear, and hoping to find clothes and pants to wear first.

  The director agreed and helped them find a set of clothes.

  Jian Jun looked through the towel and found a big rock by the river, asking them to hide behind it to change their clothes.

  The cameraman consciously stepped back and took pictures in front of the stone, only to be able to take pictures of their heads and necks that were exposed when they changed their clothes.

  Zhao Qin was a lady, so it was natural to guard her. Lu Jinlang said to her, “Don’t worry, I’m standing in front, no one will pass by.” After that, he turned his back on Zhao Qin.

  All the people from the program group also gathered here, and no one could see the scene behind the stone. In fact, Wen Jianing should feel glad that there was a woman who could make it seem reasonable for him to hide behind and change clothes. If they were all men, there was no need to worry so much.

  Jian Jun took a towel to Wen Jianing and asked him to wipe it first.

  This was supposed to be just a small episode. Although the changing of clothes was filmed, the director did not intend to broadcast it.

  But they did not expect that half the way Zhao Qin changed her clothes, and suddenly screamed while wearing only her underwear. She ran out from behind the big rock and hugged Lu Jinlang’s back and shouted, “There is a snake!”

  Lu Jinlang reacted very quickly. He held Zhao Qin in one hand and retreated back, and at the same time took off his coat and put it on her to cover it.

  Matthew rushed over and grabbed the not too thick, non-venomous little snake.

  All this happened so fast that the camera couldn’t stop shooting, so the camera was shot in.

  Then the atmosphere became a bit awkward.

  When Wen Jianing changed his clothes, Lu Jinlang simply asked to stop filming, but there was no more dangerous situation.

  Then the wet clothes were put on a twig and dried by the fire, and Matthew finally caught the fish and roasted them for them.

  While waiting for the clothes to dry, everyone was a little silent, perhaps because they had not recovered yet from the awkward atmosphere just now.

  Wen Jianing took a branch in his hand and poked it in the fire from time to time. It had no purpose. Lu Jinlang sat opposite him, holding a branch in his hand. When he fiddled with the fire, he touched Wen Jianing’s branch with his.

  The two raised their heads and glanced at each other, then lowered their gazes without saying anything.

  Wen Jianing felt that he could no longer participate with Lu Jinlang in this 24-hour program. The feeling of not being able to say anything was too unbearable.

Chapter 6

       Xi Feng helped He Yunsheng to push the car to the parking area on the side of the road. In the end, He Yunsheng still couldn’t start the car successfully.

       When He Yunsheng got off the car again, he took an umbrella in his hand, opened it out. He walked to Xi Feng’s side and hold the umbrella for him, and said, “Let’s find a place to take shelter first.”

       The two ran back to the front of the company with an umbrella. In reality, the umbrella is no longer useful since both of them were completely drenched.

       Xi Feng’s wet hair was stuck on his cheek, and he looked at He Yunsheng.

       However, He Yunsheng avoided his eyes, and looked at the heavy rain that was still pouring on the street.

       The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

  Xi Feng looked blankly at the heavy rain on the street, and when he turned his head, he noticed that He Yunsheng’s skin had been drenched by the heavy rain and was somewhat pale. It’s so pale that it almost looked transparent. His breathing seemed a bit brisk, and his drenched clothes stuck to his body. He could clearly see the curvature of his chest rising and falling, the sharply contoured collarbone, and his prominent adam’s apple.

       Realizing what he was looking at, Xi Feng snapped back to his senses, as if he had been burned by fire, and ran forward regardless of the heavy rain out there.

       He Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, but he did not stop Xi Feng, and just watched him run away in the heavy rain, as if he was avoiding a plague. He Yunsheng then turned around and went back to the company.

       He has clean clothes in the office. He couldn’t stand going home soaked.

       In the evening, Xi Feng took a shower and changed into pajamas, and sat down quietly on the bed. He recalled what happened in the afternoon, and reached out and hold his head.

       He felt that he was getting obsessed with He Yunsheng, because he didn’t know how to face He Yunsheng, and he couldn’t even understand his emotions towards He Yunsheng, which made him look like a fool when he faced him.

       When he went to work the next day, Xi Feng paid special attention to the place where He Yunsheng stopped yesterday and found that the car had already driven away, not knowing when he got someone to tow it away.

       Walking to the office, Xi Feng found that there was a pot plant on his desk, which he didn’t have yesterday. He looked around somewhat bewildered, and when he walked back to his seat and sat down, he noticed the ribbon bow tied on top of the flower pot.

       It was a potted gift.

       Almost instantly, Xi Feng remembered He Yunsheng. He thought it was a gift from He Yunsheng for what happened yesterday. Suddenly, Xi Feng’s mood jumped up, and at the same time he subconsciously wanted to put the flower pot away, afraid that others would see it. He didn’t want any colleagues to misunderstand the relationship between him and He Yunsheng.

       He took out his cell phone and hesitated if he should send a text message to He Yunsheng to ask. After typing several words, Xi Feng felt a little stupid, and so he put the cell phone aside.

       He looked down at the flower pot he received by his feet. The plant in the pot was bright green and tender. He suddenly realized that the lack of sunlight in this place would cause the plants to wither. He wanted to pick it up, but he didn’t want others to see it.

       While Xi Feng was hesitating, a person stood beside him and called him, “Feng ge*.”

       Xi Feng raised his head and saw a young female intern. The intern’s name is Xu Qing, and she studied at the same school with the female intern Xi Feng wanted to pursue before. That girl has left, while Xu Qing stayed in the company.

       In order to pursue that girl, Xi Feng asked her to eat many times, and almost every time, the girl would call Xu Qing, so the two gradually also became acquainted.

       Xu Qing is not as beautiful as her friend, but she also looks beautiful and delicate. At this time, she smiled slightly and stood at Xi Feng’s desk and asked, “Did you see the plants I gave you?”

       Xi Feng was taken aback when he heard the words, “You are the one who gave me this?”

       Xu Qing lowered his head to see him closing the plant by his feet, and quickly said, “Don’t put it there, there is no light at all.”

       Xi Feng had to take the flowerpot up.

       Xu Qing stroked the leaves, and said to Xi Feng, “Didn’t you ask about the plant on my desk before and said you want a pot?”

       Xi Feng himself almost couldn’t remember this matter, and now she mentioned it, he remembered the girl was also there at that time. Xi Feng was just trying to find something to talk to them, and were just mentioning it casually. But he didn’t expect Xu Qing to really take it to heart.

       Xu Qing smiled and said, “How about it? Are you going to invite me to a meal later?”

       Since the girl made such invitation, of course Xi Feng could not refuse. He could only smile and say, “Of course, I should.”

       Xu Qing is probably interested in Xi Feng.

       When Xu Qing left, someone sitting not far beside Xi Feng smiled and winked at him, but Xi Feng just barely smiled and was not very happy. At this time, he surprisingly found himself thinking about the fact that He Yunsheng wasn’t the one who gave him the pot.

  In fact, Xu Qing’s circumstances are pretty good. Although she is not beautiful enough, it would be impractical for a young man like Xi Feng who just entered society, with no car and no house, to have to go after too beautiful girls. You can see that the girl before has kept calling him ‘Feng ge’ repeatedly only to walked cleanly after the internship was over, and didn’t have much contact with him.

       If Xi Feng is serious about having a relationship that might blossom, Xu Qing, a small family girl, is more suitable for him.

       For so long before, Xi Feng had repeatedly fought and failed on the road of love. Now that such a girl takes the initiative to express her affection for him, it stands to reason that he should not hesitate to try to get along with her for a while.

       He doesn’t know why, but Xi Feng is a little hesitant now, or it should be said that he is a bit absent-minded.

       They had meal at lunch, Xi Feng took Xu Qing a little farther away to a small restaurant where it was not easy to meet company colleagues, and the two of them had a meal in a good atmosphere.

       Xu Qing did not say anything explicitly, but her attitude was already obvious. She liked Xi Feng after getting along with him for some time. Although Xi Feng still looks a little fussy and is not economically stable yet, it’s only because Xi Feng is still young, right?

       When they went back after the meal, Xi Feng and Xu Qing went to the elevator talking and laughing. Xu Qing walked in front, and Xi Feng followed her. He didn’t see He Yunsheng was also inside the elevator until he got in.

       He Yunsheng probably came one step ahead of them, standing against the wall, and did not look at Xi Feng more.

       Xi Feng’s smile suddenly tightened up.

       Perhaps his expression was too obvious, Xu Qing glanced at He Yunsheng with some confusion, then asked him softly, “What’s wrong?”

       Xu Qing had never heard about the rumor of He Yunsheng had a crush on Xi Feng when she was an intern. Although she stayed, the rumor between He Yunsheng and Xi Feng has faded, so she didn’t know.

       Xi Feng shook his head when he heard the words, and said, “It’s nothing.”

       The elevator moved up slowly.

       He Yunsheng suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed a few times.

       Xi Feng couldn’t hold back and asked, “Did you catch a cold?”

       He was caught in the rain yesterday. Although He Yunsheng came back to dry off and change his clothes, he was probably a little tired recently and his immune system was low, so he didn’t expect to catch a cold after he returned.

       After all, Xi Feng helped him out in the rain yesterday, and now he is expressing concern. Although He Yunsheng did not want to talk to Xi Feng, he still said, “It’s nothing, it doesn’t matter.”

       Xu Qing stood to the side, silently surveying the two of them, and seeming to find the atmosphere slightly awkward.

       The atmosphere was indeed awkward. Xi Feng found that He Yunsheng didn’t even look at him when he was speaking. He didn’t know whether he should continue speaking, so he turned his head and looked forward.

       The smooth inner wall of the elevator reflected the silhouette of several people like a mirror. Xi Feng looked at He Yunsheng in the mirror and wondered how they had come to this point.

  If he really wanted to trace back seriously, he could probably only blame himself. But he will repeatedly make excuses for himself. For example, it’s because He Yunsheng didn’t confess about his sexuality at the beginning, or another example… It was because He Yunsheng was not honest about his sexuality when they just met. Because of these, if he knew earlier, he would have let himself and He Yunsheng make appropriate contact early on, so that they wouldn’t get to this point.

  Thinking wildly in his mind, Xi Feng suddenly noticed that He Yunsheng was glancing at Xu Qing.

  It was a look as if he’s evaluating her with some scrutiny. Why did He Yunsheng look at Xu Qing? If it’s an ordinary man there should be nothing wrong with looking at a woman like that, but isn’t He Yunsheng gay?

  What is the meaning of that look? Could it be that He Yunsheng was looking at Xu Qing because of him?

  Thinking of this, Xi Feng suddenly felt enlightened. Although He Yunsheng did not admit it, he was special to He Yunsheng all along, wasn’t he? He Yunsheng is fond of him, he felt almost certain of this.

  But He Yunsheng still wouldn’t admit it.

  It’s probably because he has hurt He Yunsheng, so He Yunsheng retracted his footsteps and refused to approach him easily again. Xi Feng didn’t remember what he did on the spring trip.

  Even if what He Yunsheng said about him kissing He Yunsheng is true, it must be because he was too drunk and treated He Yunsheng as someone else or as a woman.

  And when He Yunsheng hit him and provoked him, he must be afraid of being hurt again, right?

  Thinking of this, the things that had been confusing him for a long time finally came to light. Xi Feng wondered how could he be gay? He would not like men, and if he hadn’t been so drunk that he was not conscious, he wouldn’t have kissed a man.

  Well, it was him who was too rude at that time. Although He Yunsheng hid it from him, he was always the one who spoke badly first. He didn’t want to continue his awkward relationship with He Yunsheng, which would keep him troubled, and if he could, it would be better to deal with him as an ordinary colleague.

  He decided to admit his mistakes first, apologized to He Yunsheng, and then tried to start a relationship with Xu Qing, so as to avoid rumors, and finally everything would be solved.

  Having just made up his mind, the elevator reached the floor of Xi Feng’s office.

  Xu Qing was on the same floor with him and said with a smile, “We are here, let’s go.”

  Xi Feng glanced at He Yunsheng, and decided to look for him in the afternoon. He then left the elevator with Xu Qing.


*Ge = is the way of addressing elder brother or someone(male) older than you.
Notes:
That’s it. Xi Feng have an extremely low IQ. Or this is what most arrogant males think? That no means, shy shy no?

Chapter 5

       After being helped back to the room, Xi Feng sat by the bed. After a few minutes, he got up and went out again. The colleague who stayed with him asked him where he was going, but he didn’t say anything, and just opened the door and left.

       Xi Feng went to the room where He Yunsheng stayed.

       He Yunsheng stayed in a separate room, and there was no need to explain the reason.

       He went back to the room and took a shower. Just when he was about to sleep, he heard a knock on the door.

       When He Yunsheng opened the door, he found that it was Xi Feng who was standing outside, and his face turned cold again.

       When Xi Feng saw him, he tried to go in without any extra words.

       He Yunsheng quickly blocked the door and asked, “What are you doing?”

       Xi Feng didn’t speak, but he squeezed He Yunsheng away with his height and walked inside.

  He Yunsheng hurriedly tried to close the door, but Xi Feng raised his hand and blocked it by the door. The pressure was a little heavy. He Yunsheng was startled and did not dare to force the door shut again, and could only let Xi Feng walked in.

       “What are you doing?” He Yunsheng stood by the door and looked at him warily.

       Xi Feng’s face was gloomy, and after sitting down by the bed, he asked, “Don’t you have a crush on me?”

       He Yunsheng was instantly enraged, and sternly said, “Are you crazy?”

       Xi Feng said, “Or are you eyeing another newcomer again?”

       He Yunsheng stretched out his hand and closed the door. He doesn’t want anyone to hear what they were talking about. Then he walked up to Xi Feng and said, “What have you misunderstood?”

       Xi Feng looked up at He Yunsheng.

       He Yunsheng only wore pajamas after taking a bath, revealing a white neck and a wrist. His hair was a bit disheveled, falling down to cover half of his eyes.

       He suddenly couldn’t help but gulp. The wine he drank at night seemed to come up, burning his blood for a while.

       He Yunsheng was still not sure what was going on when Xi Feng grabbed his arm, rolled him over and pressed him on the bed, and kissed him on the mouth.

       Xi Feng nibbled on He Yunsheng’s lips for a while.

       Then He Yunsheng reacted and pushed Xi Feng away.

  Xi Feng stumbled a few steps and hit the TV set behind him. After he stood firm, he pounced on He Yunsheng again, trying to kiss him while saying, “Don’t you like me? Why don’t you also let me try what it’s like to kiss a man.”

       He Yunsheng felt humiliated in an instance and stopped being polite with him, raising his foot and kicking Xi Feng’s lower abdomen.

       Xi Feng cried out in pain, took a step back and slid down against the TV cabinet, this time not getting up again.

  He Yunsheng was gasping for air and lay on the bed for a while before he calmed down. He saw that Xi Feng had not moved, and he got up to see how he was going. He only heard Xi Feng’s low snoring when he got closer. He didn’t not expect that Xi Feng would actually fall asleep while sitting in front of the TV cabinet.

       He Yunsheng raised his hand and pressed his forehead, which was throbbing with pain. He Yunsheng sat on the edge of the bed and couldn’t help covering his face with his hand.

       He sat quietly for a long time before pulling himself out of the messy and depressed thoughts, he put down his hand and looked at Xi Feng.

       Xi Feng was already deep asleep at this time, and He Yunsheng could hear his snoring sound from some distance away.

  He Yunsheng wanted to kick him to wake him up and tell him to go back, but he didn’t move even after being kicked. So in the end He Yunsheng could only drag him by the shoulders and let him lie on his side on the carpet, throwing a quilt over him and leaving him alone.

       When Xi Feng woke up the next day, he was the only one in the room.

       He was completely drunk last night, and his last memory is that he was drinking and suddenly went over to provoke He Yunsheng, and then was punched by him. Xi Feng raised his hand and felt a slight pain on his face.

       But why would he sleep on the floor now?

       He thought it was in his room at first, but he stood up and realized that it was not his original room. Because he was in a standard room with a colleague, while He Yunsheng was in a room with a king size bed.

       Xi Feng circled around in a somewhat bewildered manner and realized that not only did his cheek hurt, but his head was also hurting. In addition to the headache, his stomach also hurts. Reaching for his clothes, Xi Feng saw a bruise on his stomach, as if he had been kicked.

       After a while, He Yunsheng opened the door of the room from the outside.

       Xi Feng turned his head in surprise.

       He Yunsheng left Xi Feng in the room last night, and went to the front desk to open another room to sleep, but because it was too late, he didn’t pack the luggage, and it was left here.

       It was actually already late when he came. Originally, he thought that Xi Feng had left after he woke up, but he didn’t expect Xi Feng to sleep until now.

       Xi Feng was in a daze for a while, and asked, “Is this your room?”

       He Yunsheng didn’t want to talk to him, and walked directly into the room. He took out his travel bag and started packing things up.

  Xi Feng didn’t understand how he would sleep in He Yunsheng’s room, but he still remembered that he did go to trouble He Yunsheng last night, and said something very inappropriate. He rubbed his sore forehead, and said, “I’m sorry.”

  He Yunsheng stopped packing his things. Because he didn’t sleep well all night, his hoarse voice sounded even lower. He said, “I said I wouldn’t bother you again, can you please keep your distance from me?”

       Xi Feng was stunned.

       He Yunsheng continued to pack his things, and his movements carried some anger.

       Xi Feng raised his hand and ruffled his hair, “I drank too much last night. I was the one who was talking nonsense. I’m very sorry for the trouble I caused you.”

       He Yunsheng replied coldly, “Just don’t talk to me again in the future.”

  Xi Feng froze in place, because He Yunsheng had never spoken to him in such a cold tone. He felt like he had been slapped in the face by the other party. He felt embarrassed and a little uncomfortable. He couldn’t help but say, “I was the one at fault before. I might have said something on the impulse and hurt you, but I don’t mean to say those things. I suppose even if we—” He paused, “It’s okay to be ordinary friends, right? Why do you have to be so stiff?”

       He Yunsheng had finished packing his things, and he said, “Psycho,” he walked out carrying the travel bag.

       Xi Feng was irritated by his words, grabbed his arm and pushed him against the wall, “What the hell do you mean?”

       After he finished his question, he suddenly noticed that He Yunsheng’s bed was flat and tidy, and there was no trace of it being used. For a while, a strange thought popped up in his head, “Where did you sleep last night?”

       He Yunsheng looked at him, “What does it matter to you?”

       Xi Feng couldn’t stop his thoughts, “Your voice sounds hoarse!”

       He Yunsheng’s anger rose up, he took a few deep breaths, suddenly sneered, and said, “I slept with someone else.”

       “You!” Xi Feng looked angry and disgusted.

       He Yunsheng continued, “What does it matter to you who I sleep with? Are you in love with me? Are you a pervert too?”

       Xi Feng was angry and anxious, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

       He Yunsheng seemed to poke his weakness, “You don’t like me? What did you do when you came to my room to kiss me last night? So you are also gay? I didn’t notice it for so long!”

       “Shut up!” Xi Feng said angrily.

  He Yunsheng had never shown such a mean attitude. He found that he was overwhelmed by anger. Now all he can do is use the most ugly words to provoke Xi Feng, “Who was the one who pretended to distance himself from me while pretending to be crazy drunk in the middle of the night to harass me?”

       Xi Feng stretched out his hand and covered He Yunsheng’s mouth.

       He Yunsheng grabbed his hand and tried to move away, but he was not as strong as Xi Feng, so he could only stare at him angrily.

       At this time, Xi Feng felt the palm of his hand touch He Yunsheng’s soft lips, and the heat He Yunsheng breathed on his skin made him tingle all the way from the palm of his hand to his heart. Realizing that was in his mind, Xi Feng had a ghostly expression on his face, letting go of He Yunsheng’s mouth while pushing his shoulder and hurriedly ran outside.

       He Yunsheng was pushed down to the ground, and he sat up with his hands on the ground, and kicked the dressing table across to vent his resentment.

       He Yunsheng felt that the most regrettable thing he had done in his life was to allow Xi Feng to get close to his life at the beginning. He wished to be able to make this friend, but now he finally suffered from the consequences.

       After that spring outing, Xi Feng seems to have fallen into depression.

       He found that he was always brooding about what happened that day and what He Yunsheng said. Afterwards, he asked his colleagues who were in the same room with him and he was indeed the one who had gone out for the whole night without anyone knowing where he went.

       Then He Yunsheng didn’t lie. He went to find He Yunsheng, and he can’t remember what he did afterwards.

       What if he really kissed He Yunsheng? There was a panic in Xi Feng’s heart for no reason.

       Because of these uneasy thoughts, Xi Feng found that he paid more attention to He Yunsheng.

       He thinks about He Yunsheng almost every day, let alone falling in love. And so he has made a big mistake in his work.

       In order to make up for this mistake, Xi Feng had to work a few nights in a row.

       It had been raining that day, and it didn’t stop when he left the company after working overtime. As soon as he walked out of the company’s gate, Xi Feng saw He Yunsheng’s car parked not far in front of the gate. He subconsciously stepped forward and almost ran into the heavy rain, but soon realized what he was doing and stopped.

       Xi Feng didn’t bring an umbrella, and he planned to take a taxi home.

       However, after waiting for a while, he found that He Yunsheng’s car was not moving on the spot, and strangely enough, he was watching that direction. 

       Then, he saw He Yunsheng open the door and got out of the car.

       It was raining heavily outside, but He Yunsheng didn’t open his umbrella. He almost got soaked by the rain as soon as he got out of the car.

       Xi Feng looked at He Yunsheng blankly, not knowing what he wanted to do.

       Who knew that after He Yunsheng got out of the car, he went straight to the back of the car, bent down and started pushing hard. The car slowly moved towards the front with his push.

       Xi Feng realized that He Yunsheng’s car was probably broken down.

  When he was thinking about what he was going to do in his head, Xi Feng had already rushed into the heavy rain. He ran towards He Yunsheng. He couldn’t step on the foot on the road, and almost slipped, and pounced on the rear compartment of He Yunsheng’s car, said to him, “Go back and start the car!”

       The rain was too heavy, and the rain entered his mouth as soon as Xi Feng spoke.

       He Yunsheng looked at him  in astonishment, but didn’t hear what he was talking about.

       Xi Feng spit out the rain and shouted again: “Go and hold the steering wheel, I’ll help you push the car!”

       He Yunsheng seemed a little hesitant, both of them were completely wet.

       Xi Feng shouted, “Go!”

       He Yunsheng then stopped hesitating, bypassed Xi Feng and ran towards the driver’s seat.

Chapter 86

        At the same time, Lu Jinlang’s home was also being filmed by a cameraman from the program’s team shooting.

  Relatively speaking, Lu Jinlang’s side seemed a bit dull, because no matter what questions the director asked him, he answered them very concisely.

  Later, when the director saw that he was silent with a bottle of mosquito repellent in his hand, he asked somewhat nervously, “What’s wrong?”

  Lu Jinlang came back to his senses, shook his head and put the things into the backpack. He was just wondering if Wen Tinghuan had prepared these things for Wen Jianing. But it didn’t matter, they were going together anyway, so he took it with him.

  Although everyone was in the same city, they went to the airport to meet up the next morning.

  The first person Wen Jianing saw when he arrived at the airport was Jian Jun. This time Wen Tinghuan would not accompany them, so she told them to take care of each other.

  Wen Jianing nodded and said to Wen Tinghuan that she should rest assured that he would help her watch over Jian Jun.

  Jian Jun hadn’t seen Wen Jianing for a few days. After the filming of his movie, the company arranged for him to pick up a TV series, which was still in the preparatory stage.

  When he saw Wen Jianing again, Jian Jun felt inexplicably a little nervous and wanted to say a few words to him. But he didn’t know what to say, so he fell silent.

  Wen Jianing just smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

  The camera had been following and shooting.

  So when Wen Jianing saw Lu Jinlang, he hesitated for a while before walking over to him and shaking hands with him.

  Lu Jinlang chuckled. He held Wen Jianing’s hand slightly harder and quickly released it.

  The last one to come was the only woman on this show, Zhao Qin.

  With Zhao Qin’s current popularity, the program crew originally did not intend to consider her at all. However, since Lu Jinlang had agreed to make a special feature for the film promotion, the guests in this issue would eventually be all the people from the film crew of ‘Bitter Summer’.

  Anyway, with Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing, the publicity of this episode was enough.

  The crew invested heavily this time, and the tickets for several people were all booked in the luxury class. Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang didn’t sit close together, and they simply closed their eyes to sleep after the plane took off.

  Although it was survival in the wild, the program team not only had invested a large amount of insurance for the artists, but also put together a large team of accompanying staff, including medical personnel and professional rescue personnel, plus the staff of the program team, in order to ensure their absolute safety.

  However, this team would not appear on the camera, and would only provide rescue in an emergency to ensure the safety of the people, and they had brought plenty of food with them.

  Wen Jianing and the others, according to the arrangement of the program group, only brought enough personal drinking water and a small amount of food.

  Zhao Qin was asking the director of the show all the way, whether she would only eat bugs? She probably watched some survival programs, so she was very nervous.

  Wen Jianing was not so nervous. He had been on many shows before. He knew that the TV station just needed a program effect, and they were not going to really let them starve when they couldn’t find food.

  He slept all the way to the destination. After getting off the plane, he met with the foreign field survival expert invited by the program team at the local hotel.

  The name of the expert was Matthew, and he was a native English speaker.

  Although there was an English interpreter accompanying him, for the sake of the program’s effect, the interpreter would not be on camera. The interpreter would be mainly to facilitate the communication between Matthew and the director of the program group, and not for the communication with the guests. In each issue, there would be at least one or two speakers with good English to ensure normal communication. Of course, there was not much need for in-depth discussions. They just need to follow him, understand yes and no, and understand what he was doing.

  Lu Jinlang was fluent in spoken English and had no problem communicating with Matthew at all, Wen Jianing and Jian Jun also knew quite a few words, but Zhao Qin was slightly weaker, probably only in the range of understanding yes and no.

  In the afternoon they were sent into the road leading to the deep mountains by off-road vehicles. Originally, they wanted to use the helicopter, but the program team gave up after considering safety.

  The place they were going was an inhabited and unexplored forest. The car couldn’t get them to their destination. They stopped halfway, and they needed to walk in on foot for the rest of the road.

  It was surrounded by huge winding mountains, and there were dense jungles on the mountains. Legend has it that there were wild giant pandas living here. They didn’t know if they would be lucky enough to see them.

  After they got off the car, Wen Jianing followed Matthew with a backpack on his back and climbed up the net along the hillside where there was no road at all. Jian Jun was in front of him, while Lu Jinlang was behind him, and maintained a short distance.

  The cameraman’s lens had been shooting at him. In fact, this was not easy, because the mountain road here was too rugged, and the vegetation was very dense. There was also no road at the foot. When Wen Jianing walked, he had to grasp the trees or bushes nearby and move forward hard. The cameraman walked on the same road as them, with a camera on his shoulder. For this reason, Wen Jianing would lend a helping hand to the cameraman from time to time.

  After they walked for more than an hour, Wen Jianing’s breathing became heavy, and the backpack on his back seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.

  Lu Jinlang was behind him all the time. Once he didn’t step firmly and slipped under his feet. Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand to hold his back. If the camera hadn’t followed, Lu Jinlang would have been holding him by his side.

  It was the first time Wen Jianing discovered that he and Lu Jinlang had a physical differences. He used to think that his physical strength was better than Lu Jinlang. After all, Ke Xinhang was more than ten years younger than Lu Jinlang.

  Lu Jinlang said to the cameraman as he walked, “I’ve had experience in hiking before.”

  The cameraman chatted with him and asked, “When?”

  Lu Jinlang replied, “When I was in university, I was very keen on these outdoor sports for some time and went out with my friends several times.”

  Actually, he was also a bit out of breath, but he could control the rhythm of his breathing better.

  Wen Jianing opened his mouth to catch his breath. He raised his head and glanced at Jian Jun in front of him. Jian Jun was a bit bigger than him and seemed to have better physical strength. Since going up the mountain, he had been climbing up without saying a word.

  A vine crossed and blocked the way in front, and Jian Jun slowed down. Wen Jianing chased behind him at this time, raised his hand and slapped him on the back. Because they were from the same company, Wen Jianing had been taking care of Jian Jun as a relatively close younger brother.

  But Jian Jun didn’t expect him to slap him down, and he reacted greatly and turned his head and stared at him with wide eyes. His face was actually red, but because the surrounding light was dim, it was hard to tell.

  Wen Jianing looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he reacted so much.

  At this time, Lu Jinlang also walked behind Wen Jianing, put his hand on his shoulder, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

  Jian Jun didn’t say a word, turned his head and continued to climb up.

  Wen Jianing shook his head inexplicably.

  Suddenly, they heard Zhao Qin’s cry from behind. She squatted on the ground and said, “I can’t do it anymore, I can’t walk anymore!”

  This road was very hard, and Wen Jianing had been enduring it very hard. From time to time he wondered why he had to suffer this kind of crime. Girls like Zhao Qin might be even more uncomfortable.

  Because there were other members of the program group accompanying her, Zhao Qin had been walking at the end and everyone did not feel that there was anything wrong. In a way, it was better than her falling behind and getting lost.

  But at this time, she squatted down and complained loudly, and all the staff didn’t stop. No one came to dissuade her, and the cameraman kept shooting at her. Obviously, he wanted to capture all these lenses for editing and playback.

  Matthew heard the commotion behind, turned his head to look, and shouted in English, “What’s the matter? We have to hurry up and find a suitable place to stay overnight!”

  Lu Jinlang glanced at Wen Jianing, walked over and stood in front of Zhao Qin, and asked, “Can you continue?”

  Zhao Qin knew that the filming was still going on, she c0cked her mouth and said to Lu Jinlang, “I’m so tired, I really can’t walk anymore. Let’s take a break.”

  Wen Jianing also came over, and said to her, “Is it okay to keep walking and you can share your things with us so we could help you carry them?”

  Zhao Qin hesitated and finally nodded.

  Jian Jun heard their conversation and walked over at this moment, consciously taking off his backpack.

  The three men helped share the equipment in Zhao Qin’s backpack, leaving her almost an empty backpack.

  As he moved on, Lu Jinlang retreated to the back and let Zhao Qin go ahead of him. Wen Jianing would turn around from time to time, and when the road was difficult, he would give Zhao Qin a hand.

  Although it was a bit bumpy, they still maintained their speed and continued to walk up the mountain.

  Before dark, Matthew found a fairly flat and safe place and asked them to set up a tent. In the beginning, according to Matthew’s intention, even the tent was not necessary, but the program team took safety into consideration and finally asked them to bring a tent and sleeping bag.

  Then Matthew arranged for two people to find dry branches for firewood, and the rest to set up tents.

  Because of the limited space, the program staff also need to find another place to set up their tent.

  Zhao Qin sat motionless on a rock after arriving at the campsite. Matthew asked her to collect firewood with Wen Jianing, but she refused to go.

  Wen Jianing walked into the woods alone. Before leaving, Matthew told him to make a mark so that he could not find his way back. He made an OK gesture and walked into the woods.

  Lu Jinlang glanced at him, then squatted down to build the tent skillfully.

  They had two double tents and one single tent.

  Zhao Qin felt a little empty. She began to regret agreeing to the trip, but at this time, she had no room for regret. Even if she wanted to give up, she had to accompany them through the whole journey, because there was no means of transportation to take her back to the foot of the mountain.

  No one blamed her, because she was just a young girl who grew up in a city. Even in the TV station program group, there were almost no female staff to participate in the filming of this program.

  Before Lu Jinlang finished setting up the tent, Jian Jun stood up first. He said, “I’ll help senior.” Then he went into the woods.

  When he saw this situation, Lu Jinlang slowed down the movement of his hands.
