　　Zheng Xin efficiently replaced Wen Lin’s assistant agent. This time it was a young man named Tang Shao who had just entered the company and studied under Zheng Xin. He was very enthusiastic about his work and attached great importance to Wen Lin’s affairs, perhaps because had been instructed by Zheng Xin. 　　The first time Wen Lin went to see a psychologist, Wen Jianing accompanied him. While Wen Lin was talking to the doctor alone, Wen Jianing and Tang Shao were waiting in the lounge outside. 　　Tang Shao had a jumpy personality, and he couldn’t sit still. He soon got up and told Wen Jianing that he was going out for a stroll. 　　Wen Jianing nodded and stayed alone to wait. 　　This lounge was originally small in size, but because there was a full-length glass mirror on the side, it looked as if the room was twice as large. 　　Wen Jianing sat on the sofa, facing the full-length glass mirror. Reflected in the mirror was a beautiful young man. Because of his profession, he looked exceptionally well-dressed and stylish, with a pair of big black-rimmed glasses on his face. 　　He sat in a casual posture, with his back leaning on the back of the sofa chair. His legs were naturally apart, and his body was slightly tilted with one arm leaning against the arm of the sofa. 　　But he suddenly thought that if it was Ke Xinhang, he probably shouldn’t be in such a posture. He straightened his back, with his legs close together, and his hands on his knees, looking a little restrained. The black-rimmed glasses on his face were also removed, and his bangs slightly covered his eyes. Because he was not confident, he liked to block the view when communicating with others. 　　He often looked in the mirror, but he didn’t have many opportunities to look in the mirror in a small space like this. No one talked to him, no one distracted his thoughts, he opened his mouth and said to the person in the mirror, “Are you Ke Xinhang?” 　　The words spoken were particularly loud in a closed room. 　　Wen Jianing suddenly came back to his senses, raised his hand and put his glasses back on. He was thinking about what he had just said, why did he say that? 　　He accompanied Wen Lin to see the doctor once, and then entrusted it to Tang Shao, while he set out to prepare for the movie’s location shooting. 　　The movie’s location had already been explored by Lu Jinlang. It was in a secluded village in the north, while the other location was in a university. This was supposed to be the first scene of the film, but it will be shot at the end. 　　In order to facilitate shooting, the crew simply rented a small yard in the neighbourhood to store the camera equipment and costume props. The rest of the crew usually goes back to the nearest five-star hotel in the city. 　　Wen Jianing had his own room, but most of the time he stayed in Lu Jinlang’s room. 　　The first part of the scene at the first location was shot in the evening. Wen Jianing had to climb out of the fence of a house’s yard. Jian Jun waited for him outside and reached out to pick him up. 　　Because it was summer in the movie, Wen Jianing wore a cartoon T-shirt with knee-length shorts underneath, and his legs dangling on the wall. 　　Jian Jun stretched out his hand and told him to jump. 　　He shook his head. 　　Jian Jun smiled, “It’s okay, you can jump.” The smile was gentle and kind. 　　Wen Jianing looked at him, took a deep breath and jumped into Jian Jun’s arms. 　　Jian Jun couldn’t stand firm, and he fell to the ground. Wen Jianing lifted his head from his shoulder and brushed his cheek against the side of his face. His skin was smooth and soft. Jian Jun was still in a daze when Wen Jianing had stood up and reached out to pull him to his feet. 　　Under the light, Wen Jianing was gasping slightly, and his lips were bright red. Jian Jun looked at it and turned away from him. 　　Jian Jun knew that he was not a homosexual. He hadn’t had any thoughts about men since he was a child, and he had a girlfriend in college, although they broke up later. But he just couldn’t help feeling strange to Wen Jianing. If he had to investigate this feeling, it was because Wen Jianing made him feel a sense of gender ambiguity. This feeling was not because of Wen Jianing’s speech and manners, but from the physical contact between two people, and there was a lot of physical contact in this movie. 　　Jian Jun felt that he was being distracted, but this kind of distraction did not make him happy, because it affected his acting. 　　Jian Jun was still a little absent-minded until he was eating a box lunch at noon the next day. 　　Wen Tinghuan didn’t know what he was thinking, and said to him, “If there is any problem with acting, just ask Xinhang. He is your senior and he will teach you.” 　　Now Wen Tinghuan and Jian Jun are close, Wen Tinghuan found that Jian Jun was an obedient child. Wen Tinghuan slowly started to like him and really wanted to help him. 　　Jian Jun actually had some confusion in his head, and he couldn’t figure out his thoughts. As a result, he went to Wen Jianing’s room that night. He knocked on the door outside, but there was no movement in the room. 　　When he gave up and turned to leave, he saw that the door of the next room opened, and Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing came out one after another. 　　Wen Jianing saw Jian Jun standing at his door, so he asked, “Is there something wrong?” 　　Jian Jun was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, “Are you guys going out?” 　　Wen Jianing was wearing a coat, and it seemed that the two of them were going to go out. 　　Lu Jinlang nodded, “A friend made an appointment to meet up.” 　　Since this was the case, Jian Jun was embarrassed to say anything more. He said to Wen Jianing, “It’s okay, let’s talk about it tomorrow when shooting.” 　　Wen Jianing responded okay. 　　When he saw Jian Jun leaving, Lu Jinlang said to Wen Jianing, “Do you think he will be too deep in the play?” 　　Wen Jianing glanced at him strangely, “I don’t think so. What’s there for him to get too deep into?” 　　Lu Jinlang smiled, “Just asking.” 　　They went out so late. In fact, Lu Jinlang accepted an invitation from an old friend. That person was the director who made the movie ‘Duel’ and his name was Xie Ruoming. 　　Had it not been for Xie Ruoming’s movie, Wen Jianing would not have won the Best Actor Award. He had always been very grateful to Xie Ruoming. At that time, he came to the stage to accept the award. The first one on his thank-you list was Xie Ruoming. 　　Xie Ruoming had good personal relationships with him and Lu Jinlang, but he and Lu Jinlang were not close. 　　Wen Jianing still remembered he would occasionally have supper with Xie Ruoming in the evening. Xie Ruoming would mention Lu Jinlang, saying that he and Lu Jinlang were worthy of socializing, and he thought they would become friends through this drama. 　　But after all, they didn’t become friends at that time. When he thought about it now, there was probably still a somewhat competitive mindset at work. He always competed with Lu Jinlang, and Lu Jinlang probably also had this mentality in it, so the relationship between the two could be described as ordinary, but maybe not even ordinary friends. 　　If Wen Jianing hadn’t become like this, there would be a huge gap between Lu Jinlang’s status and status, probably Lu Jinlang would never have had this kind of thoughts about him. 　　Tonight, Xie Ruoming originally contacted Lu Jinlang alone. 　　Xie Ruoming, who was also in this city, heard that Lu Jinlang was filming here, so he called him to go out for a drink. The address was in a famous local music bar. There used to be a resident singer in the bar and now she had become a top-line female singer in the country. The bar then had become so famous that many tourists from outside the city liked to come and sit in the bar and have a drink. 　　Wen Jianing was brought by Lu Jinlang together. Lu Jinlang had always been happy to support him in his career. He would definitely not let Wen Jianing miss this opportunity to meet with a big director and established personal relationships. 　　Although Xie Ruoming himself was well-known in the circle, he was rarely on camera. If he was alone, he would definitely be sitting in the bar lobby watching the singer’s performance. Today, considering it would inconvenience Lu Jinlang, he specially asked for a relatively hidden small private room. The private room was not completely separated from the outside. Although it was partitioned so that people passing by couldn’t see it clearly, they could also hear the performance of the singer outside as they sat in the private room. If he chose the right angle, he could still see the direction of the stage. 　　Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing entered one after another, one wearing sunglasses and the other wearing a cap, neither of them was recognized. 　　Xie Ruoming first saw Lu Jinlang, stood up and shook hands with him, then smiled and invited him to sit down. Then Wen Jianing entered the private room. 　　”This is…” Xie Ruoming didn’t recognize Wen Jianing at first. 　　But even if he could recognize him, he was not familiar with Wen Jianing. Maybe he wouldn’t even call the name Ke Xinhang correctly. He spent most of these years with his wife and daughter in New Zealand. He didn’t pay much attention to the domestic entertainment industry, nor was he interested in watching hot news online. His biggest hobbies were painting and travelling. 　　So he didn’t even know the relationship between Lu Jinlang and the young man in front of him. 　　Lu Jinlang took the initiative to introduce Xie Ruoming, “This is Ke Xinhang, the actor in the movie I direct now.” 　　Xie Ruoming quickly reached out to shake hands with Wen Jianing, and at the same time, he was looking at Wen Jianing. He seemed a little surprised that Lu Jinlang would choose such a beautiful actor. 　　Sometimes when a director chose an actor, he cared more about the character than the appearance. The reason was that a too beautiful actor was easy to be regarded as a vase and that their appearance would distract the audience’s attention. So the audience would not pay attention to the actors’ acting skills. 　　Wen Jianing was a little excited when he saw Xie Ruoming, but he concealed it well. He shook Xie Ruoming’s hand hard, and said, “Hello, Director Xie.” 　　Xie Ruoming was a gentle person. Although he initially expected today’s gathering as a private gathering between him and Lu Jinlang and didn’t understand the purpose of bringing an outsider, since everyone had already arrived, Xie Ruoming also gladly accepted and invited the two people to sit down and ask them what they drink. 　　Lu Jinlang glanced at the wine list and said to Wen Jianing, “You’d better not drink. You haven’t eaten much for dinner.” 　　Wen Jianing nodded and ordered a non-alcoholic drink. 　　Xie Ruoming looked at the two of them and understood a little bit in his heart. In the past, Lu Jinlang had never deliberately concealed his sexual orientation in front of Xie Ruoming. But this was the first time he showed up in front of him with someone. 　　The bar environment was not noisy, but soon a singer began to sing English songs with soft tunes. The lighting was also soft and warm, haloed with golden circles of light. This environment was very suitable for chatting. Obviously, Xie Ruoming invited Lu Jinlang out to chat. Two old friends met by chance in a different place. 　　Wen Jianing didn’t speak much. If he was the person he was, he would have a lot to talk to Xie Ruoming, but this kind of an occasion was obviously not suitable, and Xie Ruoming might not have anything to say to him. 　　In the beginning, what both of them talked about the most was the movie Lu Jinlang was shooting now. 　　Xie Ruoming was curious why Lu Jinlang became interested in making movies. 　　Lu Jinlang said, “If you act a lot, you can’t help but want to make a work by yourself, without being influenced by others, it is a complete expression of the work in your head.” 　　Xie Ruoming smiled and raised his glass, “For the desire to create.” 　　Lu Jinlang clinked with his wine glass. 　　Xie Ruoming looked at Wen Jianing again and asked Lu Jinlang, “Is this the actor you personally selected?” 　　Lu Jinlang nodded, “The best newcomer at the Academy Awards this year.” 　　”Oh!” Xie Ruoming suddenly recalled, “It was you, I thought I had seen you somewhere and couldn’t remember about it for a while.” 　　Xie Ruoming was still paying attention to such large-scale awards as the Academy Award, but he hadn’t watched the film ‘Springtime Dream’ directed by Cao Songquan, so Wen Jianing didn’t leave any deep impression on him. 　　Now that Lu Jinlang took the initiative to mention it, he also remembered. 　　Xie Ruoming instantly changed his outlook on Wen Jianing. At first, he thought that the young man in front of him was just a newcomer Lu Jinlang deliberately selected for the movie. He even had a little doubt when he discovered the subtle relationship between the two people, but now he heard that the other party was the best newcomer at the Academy Award, he immediately began to believe in Lu Jinlang’s choice. Because the professional judges of the Academy Awards would not award such a gold medal to an actor with only a good-looking face, he must have his own excellence. 　　At this time, Xie Ruoming even felt that he should go and watch ‘Springtime Dream’. 　　He had a few words with Wen Jianing, and the atmosphere became more harmonious and natural. 　　After talking for about half an hour, Xie Ruoming mentioned a name while drinking the wine in the glass in front of him, “It’s a pity what happened to Wen Jianing.” 　　After finishing the filming of ‘Duel’ that year, Xie Ruoming went back to New Zealand and had not produced any new works over the years. 　　Wen Jianing died unexpectedly at the Academy Awards. Although he was nominated, he was absent from the award ceremony because his wife was sick and hospitalized. He didn’t have a chance to come back until Wen Jianing was buried. 　　It was the first time Xie Ruoming mentioned him since they sat down and talked to Lu Jinlang about Wen Jianing. 　　Lu Jinlang reacted plainly to this as always, but the person he was talking about looked at the glass in front of him, looking a little startled. 　　People like to say “It’s a pity about Wen Jianing”, but in fact, even if there was no Wen Jianing, the world would still go on, and batches of newcomers would emerge in the entertainment circle. A memorial activity was specially prepared for him in the second year, but perhaps the next time someone would think of Wen Jianing’s death would be the tenth anniversary. Or would it be the fiftieth anniversary next time? No, probably not many people would recognize him in fifty years. 　　When Xie Ruoming and Lu Jinlang talked about Wen Jianing, Lu Jinlang always said Wen Jianing was a good actor, but that was all. Xie Ruoming tried to get them to understand each other better, but he didn’t succeed. By now, Wen Jianing was no longer there. Xie Ruoming mentioned him again, and all that was left was just a sigh. 　　However, as soon as Xie Ruoming mentioned the name Wen Jianing, Lu Jinlang turned his head and looked at the person next to him. He seemed to be a little baffled as he pressed his finger against the edge of the wine glass. 　　Xie Ruoming hadn’t found anyone to say these words for many years. Now that he saw Lu Jinlang, he couldn’t stop saying, “At the filming time, he was always so serious, and he also enjoyed acting. If he is still alive, he probably can achieve more than that.” 　　How much more can he achieve? If Wen Jianing was not dead, ‘October Fireworks’ will be his movie, and although he might not have had the chance to win another Academy Award, Lu Jinlang’s international award might have been his. 　　No one knew if Lu Jinlang was willing to admit it or not, but now he just hummed and said softly, “He should have a better future.” 　　Xie Ruoming kept on lamenting. 　　Wen Jianing sat aside and listened in silence. His fingers kept rubbing the rim of the cup. He wanted to hear more from Xie Ruoming, because he hadn’t remembered the past for so long that it was slowly starting to fade away. 　　Suddenly, Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand to hold his hand, and at the right moment, changed the subject, and asked Xie Ruoming, “Do you have any plans next?” 　　Since Xie Ruoming had returned to China, he probably had new ideas. He had rested for so long, and it was time to plan a new movie. 　　When he heard Lu Jinlang’s question, Xie Ruoming smiled and asked him, “What? Do you have any plans?” 　　Lu Jinlang was very picky about the movie now, as long as he said he wanted to rest, no one could force him out to shoot, but he was still a little interested in Xie Ruoming’s movies. 　　”I have a long post-production after the filming of this movie,” Lu Jinlang explained. 　　Xie Ruoming waved his hand, “It’s not urgent, the preliminary preparations are still very long. I just have a preliminary idea, and I haven’t found a suitable person to write the script.” 　　Lu Jinlang picked up the wine glass and touched him, “Remember to notify me when the time comes.” 　　Xie Ruoming said, “Definitely.” 　　Wen Jianing knew that Lu Jinlang had shifted the topic to Xie Ruoming just now, and Xie Ruoming himself could not continue to talk to Lu Jinlang about Wen Jianing endlessly. His mood was a bit depressed for a moment. 　　Lu Jinlang, who was holding Wen Jianing’s hand, might feel it. 　　After chatting with Xie Ruoming for the night, Lu Jinlang saw that it was already late, so he left with Wen Jianing, as they had a filming task tomorrow morning. 　　Lu Jinlang drove the car when he came out. He didn’t ask Lu Yunan to come with him. When he went back, he switched to Wen Jianing who didn’t drink. 　　On the way, Wen Jianing looked a little quiet. 　　Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand, gently stroked his head, and asked, “What’s wrong?” 　　Wen Jianing looked a little puzzled. He glanced at him and said, “Nothing.” 　　After drinking some wine, Lu Jinlang was a little emotional, and said to him, “Are you uncomfortable to hear director Xie mentioning Wen Jianing today?” 　　”Why should I feel uncomfortable?” Wen Jianing asked him. 　　Lu Jinlang said, “Because you used to admire him so much, now you feel bad?” 　　Wen Jianing shook his head, “No, I’m not. Then what about you, what do you think of him?” 　　Lu Jinlang was silent for a while, and said to Wen Jianing, “You asked me this question in the past.” 　　Wen Jianing said softly, “Really? When?” 　　Lu Jinlang raked his hair with his fingers, and let the hair slide out between his fingers. He then said, “More than once, why did you mention him again and again?” 　　Wen Jianing said, “Because I don’t want to forget him.” 　　”Xinhang,” Lu Jinlang called his name. He had always been gentle, but the influence of alcohol must have wiped it out. He said, “I don’t think Wen Jianing is an obstacle between us now.” 　　Wen Jianing didn’t drink, but at that moment, he felt like some alcohol was rushing to his head. Those words made him have the urge to say, “You’re wrong, he will always be there, for life.” 　　Lu Jinlang withdrew his hand. 　　Wen Jianing stopped the car on the side of the road and said to Lu Jinlang, “Because I am Wen Jianing.”

　　As soon as Ke Xinfan came into the private room, he sat down on the chair next to the dinner table. He grimaced and seemed to be in some pain. It was not because of the injury on his face, but because the wound from the surgery on his body had not yet healed but he had been kicked again. 　　Wen Jianing asked softly, “Are you okay?” 　　Ke Xinfan did not answer him but looked at Boss Yuan coldly, then laughed and said, “What a big show, huh?” 　　Boss Yuan Yuan smiled very kindly, “Your brother came forward and said he wanted to help you pay back.” 　　Ke Xinfan sneered, “You didn’t tell him why I owe you money?” 　　The accident at the construction site of Ke Xinfan was originally an accident, and it was supposed to be over after it was dealt with. However, after the incident, Boss Yuan was inciting workers to cause trouble. It was nothing more than some personal feasts between the two people. 　　Lu Jinlang had already investigated the cause and effect of the incident, but they had no better way other than helping to settle Ke Xinfan’s problem with money. 　　So at this time, Lu Jinlang said, “What happened and the reason to cause it are no longer important. Now we should just sit down just to solve this matter completely.” 　　Ke Xinfan reached out and pressed his forehead. 　　Boss Yuan smiled and said to Lu Jinlang, “The experience of a big star is really different.” 　　As the intermediary, Li Rong also said at this time, “Boss Yuan, we won’t talk nonsense. This person is the Film Emperor, can we still ask for your help?” 　　Boss Yuan heard the words, pretending to be surprised and said, “Indeed, I almost forgot, he is the Film Emperor. I will have to ask my wife for an autograph later.” 　　Lu Jinlang responded calmly, “No problem, Boss Yuan, don’t worry.” 　　Boss Yuan took a cigarette and said, “According to the amount and compensation in the contract, it was originally seven million. But the compensation for delaying the payment until today, and the fact that I spent a lot of money hiring people to look for him everywhere. Well, for Boss Li’s sake, it will only be eight million in total, and the rest is free. “ 　　Ke Xinfan looked like he was about to flip out when Wen Jianing kicked him from below. 　　Lu Jinlang said, “No problem.” 　　Boss Yuan clapped his hands and said, “Splendid! I like dealing with straightforward people the most!” 　　Ke Xinfan wanted to speak again, but Wen Jianing kicked him again, and at the same time he said loudly, “Boss Yuan, we will pay you the money, but since the debt between you and Ke Xinfan has been written off. You can’t trouble him in the future.” 　　Boss Yuan said, “Of course, we are businessmen, the most important thing is integrity.” 　　Lu Jinlang said, “There is no rush, I will let my lawyer talk to Boss Yuan in detail, including the post-processing of the breach of contract. What does Boss Yuan think?” 　　After all, it was a matter of millions. Lu Jinlang couldn’t be so casual. Boss Yuan also nodded, “Of course, it’s better to be careful.” 　　Li Rong said, “Boss Yuan, I’ll be his guarantee, please don’t worry.” 　　Boss Yuan smiled and patted Li Rong on the shoulder, “Brother, you are the one who said it, what can I worry about.” 　　Lu Jinlang said, “Then if Ke Xinfan stays here temporarily, will Boss Yuan be okay?” 　　Boss Yuan said, “No problem, as long as he doesn’t provoke me in the future, I promise not to touch him.” 　　Lu Jinlang nodded, “Thank you, Boss Yuan.” 　　Boss Yuan raised his wine glass and said, “What are you saying thanks for? It must be fate for everyone to sit at a table and eat together. Come and have a drink. Later, I can ask King Lu to give me an autograph, right?” 　　That being said, Boss Yuan didn’t ask for Lu Jinlang’s signature until he left. 　　After he took the people away, Ke Xinfan cursed, “Old bastard!” 　　Wen Jianing looked at him quietly. 　　Ke Xinfan said, “Do you know how he screwed me?” 　　Wen Jianing said to him, “I know, I also know how you injured his son.” 　　Ke Xinfan heard this and did not speak anymore. 　　Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand to hold Wen Jianing’s back, “Forget it, let’s not talk about it once the matter is resolved.” 　　The atmosphere was a bit awkward. There were Lu Jinxin and Li Rong here and it wasn’t good for Wen Jianing since he had something to say to Ke Xinfan. 　　Lu Jinxin checked the time, stood up and said, “Since it’s solved, it’s fine. I should pick up Tongtong when it’s almost time.” 　　Wen Jianing said to Lu Jinxin, “Thank you, second brother.” 　　Lu Jinxin had a ghostly expression on his face, “What do you call me?” 　　”Second brother,” Wen Jianing said, “Or should I still call you Mr. Lu?” 　　Lu Jinxin glanced at Lu Jinlang. When he saw that Lu Jinlang was smiling at Wen Jianing, he waved his hand and said, “Whatever you want.” 　　When Li Rong stood up, he said, “What movie is Wen Lin making recently?” 　　Wen Jianing looked at him and suddenly looked wary. 　　Li Rong smiled, “Why are you looking at me like this?” 　　Wen Jianing asked him, “Why are you asking about Wen Lin?” 　　Li Rong said, “I’m just asking. Why do you need to be so agitated?” 　　Wen Jianing said, “Yongfei jie must be upset that you asked about another man or woman.” 　　”Even men?” Li Rong asked, but it seemed to be just a casual question. Wen Jianing didn’t say anything, and Li Rong didn’t continue to ask questions and left with Lu Jinxin. 　　When only Wen Jianing, Lu Jinlang and Ke Xinfan were left in the private room, Wen Jianing said to Ke Xinfan, “You’re already a few decades old, can’t you do things with a bit of discretion?” 　　Ke Xinfan leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair, “I said you don’t have to worry about it.” 　　”And watch you die?” Wen Jianing asked. 　　Ke Xinfan sneered, “That person named Yuan is not so bold yet.” 　　”Then what if he is?” Wen Jianing made the most terrible assumption. 　　Ke Xinfan looked at him, “So what if I die?” 　　Wen Jianing stood up all of a sudden. He felt that he couldn’t tell whether he was serious or acting. At this moment, he completely substituted himself into Ke Xinhang’s emotions. He yelled and asked, “Did you think about how it is for others? Have you thought about it for those who worry about you? Have you thought about how it is for your brother?” 　　Ke Xinfan tilted his head to look at him without speaking. 　　At this time, Lu Jinlang’s cell phone rang. It was from Lu Yunan saying that he would park the car in the parking lot at the side entrance and wait for them. 　　So Lu Jinlang stood up, gently pulled Wen Jianing’s wrist, and said, “If you still have something to say, let’s go back and talk about it.” 　　Wen Jianing turned to look at him and nodded. 　　After they got in the car, Lu Jinlang deliberately sat in the front row and gave up the space in the back seat to the two brothers. 　　Ke Xinfan took out a cigarette and wanted to smoke, but Wen Jianing said, “Could you please stop smoking? Can’t you even consider such small things for others?” 　　Ke Xinfan twisted the cigarette with his fingers, and then put it away. He suddenly said, “Do you remember when you were in junior high school?” 　　Wen Jianing said coldly, “I don’t remember.” 　　Ke Xinfan said on his own, “You have a bad temper since you were young, and your energy has been kind of sinister—” 　　”Isn’t you who is sinister?” Wen Jianing interrupted him coldly. 　　Lu Jinlang, who was sitting in the front row, laughed. He said to Wen Jianing, “Let your big brother continue” 　　Wen Jianing stopped talking, so Ke Xinfan continued, “At the start of junior high school, you were not getting along with the people in your class and I went to help you settle some things. I would go out to play with my friends, and you would follow me behind. You wouldn’t leave no matter how much I yell at you …” 　　”What you said was unpleasant to hear, wasn’t it?” Wen Jianing said. 　　Ke Xinfan did not deny it. At that time he was also just an adolescent, at the most rebellious age. It was later that he began to understand how difficult his brother’s disability was to talk about, and he couldn’t even be a complete man. In addition, Ke Xinhang’s personality was not likeable, and Ke Xinfan also began to dislike this younger brother at that time. If Ke Xinhang wanted to follow him when he went out with his friends, he would privately say some nasty things to Ke Xinhang, or even some insulting words, and when he saw Ke Xinhang hating him with tears in his eyes, he couldn’t help feeling guilty. 　　The relationship between the two brothers was very complex, and they were not without affection, but there are also a lot of hurt feelings between them. Even now, Ke Xinfan still hadn’t changed the habit of being nasty. It was just that his younger brother would no longer look at him with that kind of grievance and hatred. He found that his younger brother didn’t care about his malicious words anymore. 　　In fact, this might be a good thing. It indicated that his younger brother had grown up, his heart was stronger, there were other people to rely on, and he no longer needed him. 　　The atmosphere in the car was quiet for a while. 　　Then Ke Xinfan raised his hand and touched Wen’s hand, which he dodged. Ke Xinfan stretched out his hand again, grabbed his arm, and then pulled Wen Jianing in his arms. 　　Wen Jianing struggled at first, but Ke Xinfan held him tightly. He couldn’t break away, so he relaxed and let him hold him. 　　Ke Xinfan said, “I’m sorry.” 　　Lu Jinlang turned his head and glanced at them. 　　Wen Jianing was a little dazed. 　　Ke Xinfan still hugged him tightly, “Seeing that you are living well now, your big brother is relieved. I will definitely pay you back the money, don’t worry.” 　　Wen Jianing took a deep breath and said, “You don’t need to pay back the money.” After a while, he reached out and hugged Ke Xinfan and called “Big Brother”. 　　It was not the first time that he called Ke Xinfan big brother, but only this time, he seemed to really feel that the man in front of him was his brother. He always felt that he could not distinguish between delusion and reality. 　　That night, Ke Xinfan stayed in Wen Jianing’s villa for the night. 　　Wen Jianing helped him arrange a guest room on the first floor, and Ke Xinfan lay in bed early to rest. 　　Early the next morning, Wen Jianing hadn’t woken up yet. Lu Jinlang went downstairs and saw Ke Xinfan squatting in the doorway to smoke, with his small travel bag beside him. This bag was taken away by the group when Ke Xinfan was taken away, and now it was sent back with him. 　　Lu Jinlang asked him, “Are you leaving?” 　　Ke Xinfan turned his head and glanced at Lu Jinlang, “My little brother hasn’t gotten up yet?” 　　Lu Jinlang responded, “He’s still sleeping.” 　　Ke Xinfan smiled when he heard the words, “Look how spoiled he is with you.” 　　Lu Jinlang said, “Sleeping means that he is in a relaxed mood and there is no pressure. It is a good thing.” 　　Ke Xinfan finished smoking a cigarette. He originally wanted to press it out on the door, but he hesitated to put it out, stood up and threw it into the trash can in the living room. He clapped his hands and said to Lu Jinlang, “I’m leaving.” 　　Lu Jinlang asked him, “Where are you going?” 　　Ke Xinfan replied, “I’m going to correct my wrong. I will ask him to give back the eight million.” 　　Lu Jinlang disagreed. “Have you thought about the possible consequences of provoking him again?” 　　Ke Xinfan glanced at him, “I won’t be so impulsive, this time I will take my time and have fun with him.” 　　Lu Jinlang did not speak. 　　Ke Xinfan said to him, “You don’t have to care about me. Even if I die this time, it’s not your business.” 　　Lu Jinlang was silent for a while, and said to him, “I won’t interfere with you anymore, take care of your own affairs.” 　　Ke Xinfan nodded, and said to Lu Jinlang, “Thank you, little brother.” After that, he smiled to himself, “I shouldn’t call you little brother. What should I call you?” He seemed to find it interesting, and he kept smiling. Ke Xinfan reached out and opened the door and walked outside. 　　Standing at the door, Ke Xinfan waved to Lu Jinlang, then raised his hand and closed the door. 　　Lu Jinlang turned around and saw Wen Jianing standing on the stairs wearing pyjamas and slippers, looking in the direction of the door. 　　”He’s gone,” Lu Jinlang said as he walked up the stairs. 　　Wen Jianing nodded, “I heard what he said.” 　　Lu Jinlang walked up to the stairs in front of him before he stopped, and said, “You said those things to him last night. To be honest, I was quite nervous. You weren’t afraid of angering him and him using your affairs as a threat?” 　　Wen Jianing asked, “Do you think he will?” 　　Lu Jinlang answered him seriously, “I don’t think he would.” 　　Wen Jianing gave a soft “um”, “I don’t think so too.” 　　In fact, Ke Xinfan had come back for so long and said a lot of ugly things, but he really never threatened him with this incident. Probably he didn’t intend to involve him from the beginning. 　　Lu Jinlang smiled, “He went back to find trouble with Boss Yuan, aren’t you worried?” 　　”He is a grown-up. He will take the consequences for what he does. I won’t care about him anymore.” 　　”That’s what I told him,” Lu Jinlang said, stretching out his hands to Wen Jianing. 　　Wen Jianing hugged him. 　　Lu Jinlang hugged Wen Jianing’s waist with both hands. He picked him up and walked towards the second floor. At the same time, he said, “I remember something that I almost forgot to tell you.” 　　Wen Jianing hugged his head and asked, “What is it?” 　　Lu Jinlang said, “I told you about the psychologist I introduced to Wen Lin last time. Yesterday, Yunan made a call to ask about the situation. He said that Wen Lin had never seen him at all and that no one had called and contacted him for Wen Lin. 　　”Huh?” Wen Jianing struggled to let him put himself down, “No contact at all?” 　　Lu Jinlang nodded, “Who did you tell to call? Ask again.” 　　Wen Jianing frowned, “Zhu Zexin said that he contacted him, and he didn’t make an appointment?” 　　Lu Jinlang put his hands in his pockets, “Then you better ask him again.” 　　Wen Jianing suddenly became a little angry, and said, “No need to ask, I’ll go to Zheng Xin.” 　　On the same day, Wen Jianing took the time to go to the company. He was now busy acting outside and seldom had time to come back to the company. In the past two years, Lei Xing had developed very well and recruited many young artists after them. 　　Among them, there were some newly recruited in the past two days, and they didn’t even think they would meet Wen Jianing. At this time, they hid from a distance and watched Wen Jianing secretly. 　　Wen Jianing went directly to Zheng Xin’s office and told Zheng Xin about the matter. 　　Zheng Xin was quite calm. He deliberately defended Zhu Zexin and said, “Maybe Wen Lin’s situation is not as serious as you thought, or xiao Zhu is too busy and forgot about this matter.” 　　Wen Jianing suddenly became a little unhappy, and asked Zheng Xin, “Have you seen Wen Lin recently?” 　　Like Wen Jianing, Wen Lin was busy filming outside, and Zheng Xin naturally hadn’t seen him for a long time, so Zheng Xin didn’t say anything. 　　Wen Jianing was still very polite to Zheng Xin. He said, “Wen Lin is really in a bad state. I’m afraid he will have depression.” 　　Zheng Xin frowned slightly. 　　Wen Jianing said, “Zhu Zexin is too late. I can do things like contacting a psychologist, but I can’t accompany Wen Lin and supervise him to see a doctor at all times.” 　　Zheng Xin nodded, “I understand.” 　　Later, Wen Tinghuan called Wen Jianing that afternoon, saying that she had heard that Zheng Xin called Zhu Zexin back and scolded him, and then changed someone on Wen Lin’s side. 　　Wen Jianing was a little surprised that Zheng Xin acted so decisively. 　　Wen Tinghuan hesitated a little on the other end of the phone as if she had something to say. 　　Wen Jianing said to her, “Just say what you want.” 　　Wen Tinghuan was still Zheng Xin’s student, and so was Zhu Zexin. To put it bluntly, they were all of the same faction. There were some things that Zheng Xin would tell them in private, but not necessarily to Wen Jianing and Wen Lin. 　　After hesitating, Wen Tinghuan said directly to Wen Jianing, “Zheng laoshi once said that you have a backup, even stronger than Yi Nan. He told us not to offend anyone, especially you.” 　　Wen Jianing heard Wen Tinghuan say this and glanced at Lu Jinlang who was watching TV next to him. Zheng Xin’s words were correct, at least in Lei Xing, his backup was the most powerful. 　　Wen Tinghuan continued, “So when you go to him, he must do something to show you. It’s just…” 　　Wen Jianing said, “You can just say what you want, and stop pretending to hesitate.” 　　Wen Ting laughed happily, but also sighed, “Based on Zheng laoshi’s character, no matter how strict he is on the surface, he doesn’t want to offend Zhu Zexin in private. But he doesn’t want to offend you more.” 　　Wen Jianing whispered, “It doesn’t matter, since I went to find him, he should bear these consequences.” 　　Wen Tinghuan said, “I would rather offend a gentleman than offend a villain. What could I say about Zhu Zexin? Anyway, you should be careful about him in the future, be more polite on the surface, and don’t make too many problems.” 　　Wen Jianing said to Wen Tinghuan, “I know, I have a backup, you don’t have to worry about me.” 　　When he hung up, Lu Jinlang put his hand on his shoulder and asked, “What are you talking about?” 　　Wen Jianing turned to look at him and smiled, “They said I have a backup at the company, so they better not mess with me.” 　　Lu Jinlang raised his hand and pointed at himself. 　　Wen Jianing couldn’t help but laugh. 　　Lu Jinlang said, “I have provided you with such a solid and powerful backup, are you not going to thank me for it?” 　　Wen Jianing stood up and straddled his lap, cupped his face, kissed his lips, and asked, “Is this enough?” 　　Lu Jinlang did not respond, and said, “You blocked me from watching TV.” 　　Wen Jianing immediately got up, but Lu Jinlang grabbed his arm and rolled over on the sofa, “But the TV is not as good as you.” Then he kissed him.

　　Early in the morning, Wen Jianing drove to pick up Ke Xinfan.

　　Ke Xinfan was holding a small travel bag in his hand, and when he approached and saw Lu Jinlang sitting in the passenger seat, he opened the rear door and sat in.

　　The first sentence he got in the car was, “You’re going back to meet your parents, aren’t you?”

　　Wen Jianing did not want to talk to him and started the car.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Yes, that was the intention. You don’t think it’s appropriate?”

　　Ke Xinfan looked at him. He was very angry when he just learned about Lu Jinlang and his brother. Although he was not in this circle, everyone knew how messy the entertainment industry was.

　　He thought his brother was in unspoken rules. Although his younger brother was a degenerate who couldn’t do it with women, it didn’t mean that he could watch his younger brother let other men do him.

       But now, Ke Xinfan knew that he had probably made a mistake. He felt that the two of them seemed to be together seriously, rather than the unspoken rules he had thought.

　　He lit a cigarette for himself, then remembered something, and handed it to Lu Jinlang, “Do you smoke?”

　　Lu Jinlang refused, “No, thank you. But your wound has not healed, so it’s better to smoke less.”

　　Ke Xinfan didn’t say anything, took a deep breath of the cigarette in his hand, and then exhaled a white mist.

　　Wen Jianing opened the car sunroof silently.

       “Where are you going?” Wen Jianing asked Ke Xinfan. He noticed the travel bag he was carrying.

　　Ke Xinfan said, “You don’t want to see me, can’t I go out and work in a different place?”

　　Wen Jianing felt a little strange because Ke Xinfan had been back for so long and didn’t actually do anything. He was beaten up and admitted to the hospital by Lu Jinlang in confusion. If he had to say something, it was more like Ke Xinfan just came to see him and antagonized him with some ugly words along the way. Wen Jianing himself was not a petty character, and Ke Xinfan had calmed down. He felt that Ke Xinfan was not so hateful.

　　He drove halfway and was replaced by Lu Jinlang.

　　Wen Jianing took the phone to watch the navigation.

　　Ke Xinfan said, “Have you been back to see our parents in a few years?”

　　Wen Jianing said sarcastically, “Have you seen our parents in a few years?”

　　Ke Xinfan fell silent.

　　Wen Jianing said slowly,  “There are many changes around, and after one or two years, I couldn’t find a way back.”

　　Because he was not familiar with the road, it took a total of nearly two hours to reach the cemetery on the outskirts of the county.

　　When he got out of the car, the wind was a bit cold, and Lu Jinlang helped Wen Jianing to button up the front of his neck.

　　Wen Jianing didn’t say anything, Ke Xinfan went to the shop on the roadside to buy a bunch of flowers, and walked up the hillside with flowers in his arms. Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang then followed him up.

　　Because it was not a special occasion, there were only very few people who came to the cemetery to pray. At first, Lu Jinlang wore a hat and pressed it down very low. Later, when there was no one around, he took it off.

　　Wen Jianing followed Ke Xinfan not far behind. He didn’t even know where the tombs of the Ke family’s parents were.

　　Ke Xinfan was also a little at a loss, and he only remembered the approximate location. After looking around for a while, he found the tomb and placed the flower in front of the tombstone.

　　The tombstone was a two-person tomb. Wen Jianing looked at the two people in the photo, but he felt like he was looking at complete strangers. There was no way to feel sad. Of course, he could act very sad and in grief, but he didn’t think it was necessary because he didn’t know who he was performing for.

　　In the end, he just squatted down to his parents like he came to visit his friends and offered incense to the two old people piously.

　　In Lu Jinlang’s view, he just felt that there was something wrong with Wen Jianing’s state. He didn’t know how the Ke family had felt towards each other in the past. According to his understanding, probably because of physical reasons, there was always an emotional distance between their family.

　　After paying homage to his parents, Ke Xinfan stood up and smoked a cigarette, and said, “I should go.”

　　”Where are you going?” Wen Jianing asked.

　　Ke Xinfan said, “What’s your business? You don’t welcome me anyway.”

　　Wen Jianing calmly said to him, “If you don’t treat me with this kind of resistance, I think we can communicate more smoothly.”

　　”Oh?” Ke Xinfan said, “Who’s resisting who? Aren’t you afraid that I will expose your affairs, and afraid that I will use you as an ATM to threaten you to get money?”

　　What he said was the truth, and Wen Jianing did not refute it.

　　Ke Xinfan continued, “Why? Have you thought about killing me and burying me? So no one will know your secret anymore?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “You think too much.”　

　　Ke Xinfan waved his hand indifferently, picked up his travel bag, and said, “Don’t rush to kill your big brother. It doesn’t sound like that one day you two break up. But you still have to beware of him taking your secrets around and talking nonsense. At that time, you can still find your big brother to come back and help you kill someone.”

　　This time Lu Jinlang said, “You think too much, I don’t need an ATM.”

　　Ke Xinfan smiled and stretched out his hand, making a posture of shooting Lu Jinlang in the chest, then stepped back and said, “Take care of my little brother.”

　　After he said that, Ke Xinfan turned and left.

　　Wen Jianing watched Ke Xinfan walk away and stood still for a while.

　　Lu Jinlang said to him, “Let’s go too, maybe he really just wants to come back and see you.”

　　They went back to the parking lot, and Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang drove down the mountain. On the side of the road just not far from the gate of the cemetery, they saw Ke Xinfan standing on the side of the road waiting for a bus.

　　Wen Jianing drove the car to Ke Xinfan’s side. Before he reached his side, he suddenly saw a van stopping next to Ke Xinfan.

　　Ke Xinfan stood by the window and talked to the van driver. He turned around and looked towards Wen Jianing and their car.

　　Wen Jianing thought it might be some unlicensed car.

　　At this time, the van door suddenly opened, and someone pulled Ke Xinfan into the van from the inside. They then closed the door and started driving out frantically.

　　Wen Jianing was taken aback, he didn’t stop the car, and he subconsciously chased him out.

　　Lu Jinlang frowned slightly and said to him, “Don’t be too anxious, be careful.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Who is that?”

　　Lu Jinlang thought for a while, “Didn’t Wen Tinghuan say that he owes money to someone outside? It could be that someone is looking for him.”

　　Wen Jianing felt that the possibility was very high, and said to Lu Jinlang, “Let’s call the police.”

　　This road was a winding mountain road. Although it was not very steep, it was also curved and he did not dare to drive too fast. The van in front seemed to run wildly. Wen Jianing chased after it carefully, but he was also afraid that the van might overturn if it drove too fast.

　　Lu Jinlang took out his cell phone and was about to call the police.

　　Wen Jianing’s phone rang at this moment. He glanced at the screen display, and it turned out to be Ke Xinfan’s number.

　　Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand to answer the phone, and said “Hello”.

　　It was not Ke Xinfan’s voice over the phone, but a young man who yelled angrily, “Don’t chase!”

　　Lu Jinlang asked him, “Who are you?”

　　The man didn’t answer, but shouted, “I told you not to fvcking chase! Do you not understand?”

　　Lu Jinlang calmed down a lot, and continued to ask, “Who the hell are you people? I’m calling the police!”

　　”fvck!” the person on the phone said, “Don’t you dare to call the police, or whether you believe it or not I will kill Ke Xinfan!” As he said, he seemed to be beating Ke Xinfan. Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing could hear Ke Xinfan’s muffled sound.

　　The person who answered the phone handed the phone to Ke Xinfan and said, “Tell them to stop chasing, or we will kill you!”

　　Ke Xinfan gasped, and said to Wen Jianing and the others, “Stop chasing, it’s me who owes money. It’s okay. Just leave me alone.”

　　Lu Jinlang heard the words and said, “How much money do you owe, tell them, I will help you pay it back.”

　　Ke Xinfan hadn’t spoken yet, but the phone was stolen again. The person who called just now said, “Stop first and don’t chase again. I’ll contact you!”

　　Lu Jinlang was also worried that something would happen if Wen Jianing kept pursuing this way, so he said, “Okay, contact me.” Then he said to Wen Jianing, “Let’s stop first.”

　　Wen Jianing stepped on the brake, and at the same time, the phone was also hung up.

　　Because he was concentrating too hard, he was now panting a little.

　　Lu Jinlang put a hand on his shoulder and calmed him, “Relax, they just want money. If they kill him, they will get no money. It’s not worthwhile.”

　　Wen Jianing also understood this. There was no real relationship between him and Ke Xinfan. He chased him out on an impulse just now, probably because the words Ke Xinfan left before touched him.

　　Lu Jinlang began to make a few calls one after another. He looked for someone to check the license plate of the van, track Ke Xinfan’s cell phone, and then to find out who Ke Xinfan owed money to. He didn’t plan to negotiate with these little guys, but he had to talk directly to the boss behind them.

　　When Lu Jinlang hung up, Wen Jianing looked at him and was silent for a while, then suddenly said, “Is it possible that Ke Xinfan colluded with someone to blackmail my money?”

　　Lu Jinlang was a little surprised, “Why do you think so?”

　　Why did he think so? Because he was not Ke Xinfan’s real brother. He calmed down and began to think about countless possibilities. He had no evidence, but he just felt that this was also a possibility.

　　Lu Jinlang said to him, “You seem to be in a bad mood these past few days. Have you been affected by Wen Lin?”

　　Wen Jianing shook his head.

　　Lu Jinlang changed positions with him and drove by himself. It was still early at this time, so he planned to go back first.

　　Wen Jianing said to him suddenly, “If I am not Ke Xinhang, what would you think of me?”

　　Lu Jinlang glanced at him, “Then who are you?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I am a dead person, who suddenly returned to life by borrowing the corpse of Ke Xinhang. I am not Ke Xinhang himself.”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled when he heard the words, raised his right hand and touched his head, “Don’t let your imagination run wild, your brother will be fine.”

　　The other party that says they will contact them has not called again.

　　That night, Wen Jianing lit a cigarette on the balcony a little irritably.

　　Lu Jinlang walked out to see him, and said to him, “Don’t worry, things are progressing, and the other party hasn’t contacted us for a while. I guess they are still undecided about what to do.”

　　Wen Jianing turned to look at Lu Jinlang, leaning back against the fence on the balcony, and said, “I’m not in a hurry.”

　　Lu Jinlang walked to him, “Is there something you want to tell me?”

　　Wen Jianing pressed the cigarette butt out, hesitated for a moment, and said again, “I am not Ke Xinhang.”

　　Lu Jinlang asked him, “Don’t you want to save Ke Xinfan?”

　　Wen Jianing was silent for a moment and shook his head, “No, I want to save Ke Xinfan, but it has nothing to do with what I am telling you now.”

　　Lu Jinlang didn’t speak at all, waiting for Wen Jianing to continue talking.

　　Wen Jianing thought about how to word it, and said, “From the first time we met, what you saw was not Ke Xinhang.”

　　Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand on the railing, “So what? Since it was you who I saw at the beginning, why does not being Ke Xinhang matter to you?”

　　Wen Jianing thought that Lu Jinlang probably still didn’t believe it. He said, “So I don’t have any memory of Ke Xinhang in the past. When I first saw his body in this state, I was also desperate.”

　　Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand and touched his face, “Why did you choose to tell me at this time?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Today, we went to see Ke Xinhang’s parents, and I became more and more afraid of not finding my existence. What if one day I forget who I am?”

　　Lu Jinlang asked softly, “Then who are you?”

　　Wen Jianing looked at him and was about to talk when the phone he placed in the room suddenly rang.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Answer the phone first.”

　　The call really came from the person during the day, and he asked Lu Jinlang to take 10 million in cash to redeem Ke Xinfan.

　　Lu Jinlang asked him, “He owes you 10 million?”

　　”Yes,” the man said, “That much. You can transfer the money or you can let the man die.”

　　Lu Jinlang refused to take his threats and said calmly, “Sure, if you kill the man, you can’t get a penny and you will go to jail. Just think about it yourself.”

　　The man was a little flustered, “Then what do you propose?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Who is your boss? I want to see your boss. It is reasonable to pay off debts. We could have sat down and had a good talk, but if you had to kidnap and kill, you could run out of business soon.”

　　They seemed to have discussed it and hung up.

　　After ending the call, Lu Jinlang turned to look at Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Jianing shrugged, “Wait until this matter is over.”

　　Lu Jinlang walked over and hugged him lightly, and said, “Would you like to see a psychiatrist with Wen Lin?”

　　Wen Jianing smiled, “I’m really fine.”

　　There was no news from the kidnappers, but Lu Jinlang asked Lu Yunan to arrange for some people to go to the city where Ke Xinfan worked before. They found out that Ke Xinfan was forced to stop working because the construction site accident was not handled well. He owed a lot of money, so he packed up his things and ran away. Although the amount owed was less than 10 million, it was still some million. However, according to Lu Yunan, there seemed to be something fishy in the middle, and Ke Xinfan might have been cheated.

　　Lu Jinlang couldn’t solve it on his own, so he asked Lu Jinxin to help him come forward and ask the boss to come out for a talk.

　　After two or three days, Lu Jinxin called Lu Jinlang to come out for dinner and brought Wen Jianing with him.

　　The place to eat that day was in a private room in a large hotel restaurant. Wen Jianing went with Lu Jinlang, only to realize that it was not just Lu Jinxin, but there was also Li Rong.

　　Li Rong threw a cigarette at Lu Jinlang, but Lu Jinlang didn’t smoke it.

　　Li Rong said, “I know that Boss Yuan, and I have dealt with him in the past. Their way is not very clean.”

　　Lu Jinlang nodded.

　　Wen Jianing frowned, “Triads?”

　　Lu Jinxin said, “It’s inevitable in business. Everybody, be polite and talk properly.”

　　Wen Jianing saw Lu Jinxin and suddenly asked, “How is Tongtong?”

　　Lu Jinxin was taken aback by his question and said, “He’s okay. He was in kindergarten recently and the court has already given the sentence. The custody right belongs to me.”

　　”Well,” Wen Jianing replied, “Bring him over to play when you have time. I miss him a lot.”

　　Lu Jinxin looked at him for a while, and reluctantly said, “He misses you, too.” After that, he added, “My mother misses you too, so you should come to our house when you have time.”

　　Lu Jinlang looked at him coldly.

　　Lu Jinxin said, “Why are you looking like that? What did I say wrong?”

　　Li Rong interrupted them, “If you guys want to talk about family affairs, you can go back and talk slowly. Let’s settle today’s matter first.”

　　Lu Jinxin nodded, “Sit down first.”

　　A few of them sat down in the private room first, and Boss Yuan was the last to arrive.

　　Boss Yuan Yuan was a bald and potbellied middle-aged man. He looked round and kind, but Wen Jianing knew that he must not be as simple as he looked.

　　As soon as he walked in, he greeted Li Rong and Lu Jinxin enthusiastically, and then pointed to Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing and said, “Big stars!” It was as if everyone had been a long-lost friend.

　　It was not the first time Wen Jianing had dealt with this kind of person. Although he found it difficult, he was not at a loss. Besides, there was Lu Jinlang and the others by his side.

　　After Boss Yuan sat down, he did not mention anything about Ke Xinfan but talked and laughed with them. Until the wine was poured, he suddenly said to Wen Jianing, “I heard that Ke Xinfan is your brother?”

　　Wen Jianing replied, “Yes.”

　　Boss Yuan said, “Oh, I had a misunderstanding with your brother in the business. He owed me money and ran away as soon as he had a chance. I have been looking for him for a long time.”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “In this case, Boss Yuan, why don’t you invite Ke Xinfan out to sit down and solve the problem? There is nothing in this world that can be solved better than money.”

　　Boss Yuan laughed when Lu Jinlang said this. He shook his head and asked, “What is the relationship between Mr. Lu and Mr. Ke? I know you are all big stars. I’ve only seen you guys on TV before. “

　　Lu Jinlang replied, “I am the director of the movie he is shooting. My actor can’t feel at ease filming because of his brother’s affairs. Boss Yuan, how can I feel relaxed?”

　　Boss Yuan just laughed when he heard that. He didn’t know whether Boss Yuan believed him or not.

　　Li Rong interrupted at this time, “Boss Yuan, you heard my brothers say that the problem of money is the best problem to solve, so let’s clear the problem while we are at it.”

　　Boss Yuan nodded with a smile, “Okay, then it’s easy to do, I will invite Mr. Ke out to speak.” Although everyone knew what happened, he still said, “I don’t know what’s going on a few days ago. He bumped into the hands of my men. Everyone knew he still owed me money, so they detained him…” After he said that, Boss Yuan made a phone call.

　　After a while, they saw two people bring in Ke Xinfan, who had a blue nose and a swollen face.

The author has something to say:

Generally speaking I will put everyone’s possible terrific point in the text write out, such as to be keep, or xiao shou suffers from physical disabilities. It’s just that I don’t know that there was someone terrified of second CP, I will pay attention to the mark in the future.
Add: this sentence doesn’t mean that I am unhappy, I really just don’t know
As for this article, I will try my best not to be affected by the comments. The original idea is still the same, whether there is a second CP or not, I will not describe it in large length.
Today’s chapter is quite thick and long…

　　After he took Wen Lin out for a small gathering that day, Wen Jianing was busy with filming for a short time and never saw Wen Lin again. He once called and asked. Wen Lin said that everything’s fine and told Wen Jianing not to worry about him.

　　At this time, Ke Xinfan was also discharged from the hospital.

　　On the day he was discharged from the hospital, Wen Jianing drove to pick him up.

　　Ke Xinfan took out his cigarette and started smoking as soon as he got in the car.

　　Wen Jianing opened the window and silently expressed his unwelcome attitude toward him smoking.

　　But Ke Xinfan looked indifferent  and asked him, “When will we go back?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Anytime.”

　　Ke Xinfan was silent for a moment, and said, “Then let’s go as soon as possible, can we go back tomorrow?”

　　Wen Jianing glanced at him, “I’ll arrange it.”

　　In ‘Bitter Summer’, Wen Jianing’s scene in the studio was almost ready to be wrapped up, and the next step was to prepare for the shooting of the outdoor scenes. Recently, Lu Jinlang had slowed down his progress, and he was more often studying shooting techniques and constantly making comparisons and self-improvements.

　　If Ke Xinfan wanted to go back at this time, Wen Jianing could spare time. But when he asked Lu Jinlang for a leave, Lu Jinlang offered to accompany him back.

　　Wen Jianing was a little surprised, “You are free?”

　　Lu Jinlang was originally looking at the computer, and raised his head to look at him, “You don’t want me to go?”

　　Wen Jianing walked to him and stretched out his hand, put his hands on his shoulders, and smiled, “Why do you think so?”

　　Lu Jinlang reached out and took off his glasses, “I can feel it from your tone and expression.”

　　Wen Jianing lowered his head, pressed his face against his cheek, and said softly, “You weren’t looking at me just now, yet you can feel it from my expression?”

        Lu Jinlang raised his hand to touch his face, and said, “Don’t you know that there is something called telepathy?”

　　Wen Jianing couldn’t help but smile.

　　Lu Jinlang took him by the hand and pulled him in front of him. Wen Jianing sat on his side and was held in his arms.

　　Wen Jianing put his hands around his shoulders, and turned his head to look at the web page Lu Jinlang was browsing. He thought he was watching entertainment news, but found out that he was reading a filming diary of a well-known director.

　　Wen Jianing pulled the mouse, and asked, “Is there anything you can learn?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “You can always learn something if you look and read more.”

　　Wen Jianing turned back to look at him for a moment, leaned over and kissed his lips. He had just taken a shower himself, but Lu Jinlang had not yet had time to take a shower. After a deep and emotional kiss, Wen Jianing said to him, “Would you like to take a bath first?”

　　“Yes,” Lu Jinlang said, retracting the hand that had been inserted into Wen Jianing’s pajamas, and while standing up, he carried Wen Jianing directly.

　　Wen Jianing quickly grabbed his shoulders, “What are you doing?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Let’s take shower together.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I have already taken a shower.”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled, “It doesn’t matter, you can shower again with me.”

　　He took Wen Jianing into the bathroom, sat on the edge of the bathtub, reached out to turn on the faucet, and poured water into the bathtub.

　　”You are going to take a bath?” Wen Jianing asked him.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “It’s rare to have you with me. I’m going to enjoy it slowly.”

　　Wen Jianing leaned his head on the bathroom tile and looked at him with a smile.

　　While waiting for the water to fill the tub, Lu Jinlang put one hand on his back and asked, “It seems that I rarely hear what you say about your family in advance.”

　　Wen Jianing sighed, “My parents are actually very good to me, but the memories of the past are unhappy memories.”

　　Ke Xinhang’s diary rarely records happy things.

　　If Wen Jianing himself had grown up in that environment, he would certainly not have his current character. If he hadn’t met Lu Jinlang, perhaps over time, he would have been gradually influenced by Ke Xinhang’s sensitivity and helplessness and moved towards another extreme.

　　Until now, no one knew what happened to Ke Xinhang that night that Wen Jianing could enter his body. Wen Jianing sometimes wondered if he could not bear the pressure and chose to commit suicide.

　　Lu Jinlang moved the palm of his hand to his shoulder, squeezed it hard, and asked him, “What are you thinking about?”

　　Wen Jianing suddenly came back to his senses, shook his head, and then noticed that the water in the bathtub was almost filled up, and said to Lu Jinlang, “You can go in.”

　　Lu Jinlang began to take off his clothes unhurriedly.

　　His figure was very good, his muscles were firm and tight without exaggeration, and he looked slender and well-proportioned.

　　Wen Jianing leaned his head against the wall and looked at him, and recalled when he began to feel the attraction of the man’s body to him.

　　Lu Jinlang stepped into the bathtub and sat down.

　　The water in the bathtub overflowed all of a sudden. Wen Jianing had originally rolled up his trousers and sat beside the bathtub. At this time, the water overflowed and wet the trousers.

　　Lu Jinlang said to him, “Take off your pants.”

　　Wen Jianing hesitated for a moment, but he took out his legs and took off his pyjamas before turning around and putting his legs into the bathtub.

　　Since Lu Jinlang replaced his boxer briefs in the past, he no longer insisted on covering up. In fact, he was very grateful to Lu Jinlang. It was precisely because of Lu Jinlang’s attitude that now he gradually forgot his physical condition and felt that he was no different from ordinary people.

　　Lu Jinlang leaned back comfortably. He leaned back on the side of the bathtub, and said, “Unfortunately, it is not very convenient to go out. Otherwise, I can follow you to see the place where you lived before and the school where you studied.”

　　Wen Jianing looked at him and said, “No, I don’t have much memory.”

　　”No memory?” Lu Jinlang felt a little strange about his words.

　　Sometimes the older people were, the more they would miss things from their childhood. Maybe not everything and every scene were memorable, but there shouldn’t be nothing to remember.

　　Wen Jianing said, “Really, I have very few memories of Ke Xinhang.”

　　Lu Jinlang looked at him silently.

　　Wen Jianing took a deep breath and said, “I have committed suicide, but I haven’t died. Since I woke up that day, I have selectively forgotten a lot of things to let myself—” He said this, and suddenly stopped. Originally, he wanted to say that he wanted to separate the past memory from the present. But somehow, he suddenly had a strange and terrible idea at one point, which made him confused for a short time.

　　In Lu Jinlang’s view, Wen Jianing’s face turned pale for an instant. He sat up, reached out to hold his calf, and asked, “What’s the matter?”

　　The touch of Lu Jinlang’s palm called back Wen Jianing’s to the present. He shook his head. He wanted to say nothing, but in the end he couldn’t help asking, “Does Wen Jianing really exist in this world?”

　　When Lu Jinlang heard him mentioning Wen Jianing, Lu Jinlang was actually unhappy, but seeing Wen Jianing’s dreadful face, he didn’t want to irritate him, he calmly replied, “Yes, I know him, and I have seen him.”

　　Wen Jianing nodded.

　　At that moment, he just suddenly wondered whether he was just a split personality from Ke Xinhang himself. The perception of his identity was actually given to him by Ke Xinhang, and he was not Wen Jianing, but he was Ke Xinhang. He just split himself and imprisoned a personality.

　　This thought made him a little horrified for a moment, as if all the unexplainable parts were explained. But the only thing he could rest assured of was that the memory of Wen Jianing he had was something that Ke Xinhang didn’t know, and couldn’t be given to him.

　　Wen Jianing was the real person in the world, and it was not the fantasy and split personality of Ke Xinhang.

　　”Xinhang?” Lu Jinlang still felt that he didn’t look very good.

　　Wen Jianing swallowed the name, and suddenly wanted Lu Jinlang to call him Wen Jianing. He didn’t know what had happened. After spending so much time together, it was the first time he had this idea.

　　Lu Jinlang got up and stood in front of Wen Jianing, stretched out his hand to pinch his chin to let him look at him, and said again, “Xinhang, what’s wrong with you?”

　　Wen Jianing suddenly reached out and hugged his shoulders, and covered Lu Jinlang’s mouth with his own lips.

　　There were some things he couldn’t say, and things he didn’t want to listen to at this time. He kissed Lu Jinlang hard, his pyjamas were all soaked and were all wet.

　　Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand to hold him, turned and leaned him against the wall. His head tilted back to slightly distance from him.

　　Wen Jianing tried to get over and kiss him again, but Lu Jinlang still stayed behind.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “What’s the matter with you? You were fine just now.”

　　Wen Jianing pursed his lips and said, “I’m fvck deprived.”

　　Lu Jinlang was startled and suddenly felt a little bit dumbfounded. Of course, he knew that the person in front of him was deliberately saying this to tease him, and he had to admit that this sentence was very powerful.

　　Wen Jianing raised his legs around Lu Jinlang’s waist, deliberately stuck them on, and said, “How do you want it?”

　　Lu Jinlang was a little helpless, so he could only kiss him as he approached and said, “It’s up to you, you can tell me when you want to.”

　　As soon as he kissed him, Wen Jianing immediately deepened the kiss.

　　Both of them had no room to think, and fell into a passionate love making. The bathroom was filled with mist, and the water in the bathtub was churn and splashed out a lot.

　　Until sometime later, Lu Jinlang refilled the hot water in the bathtub again and soaked in with Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Jianing fell asleep in the bathtub because he was too exhausted, and he didn’t have time to think about the past.

　　Lu Jinlang rearranged the work for the next two days that day. At dawn, he got up to make breakfast. When it was almost time, he called Wen Jianing up and said to him, “Let’s go and set off today.”

　　Wen Jianing rubbed his sore forehead, stretched out his hand on the bedside to touch his mobile phone, and then called Ke Xinfan, “We will go back today.”

　　Ke Xinhang’s hometown was actually in a nearby suburban county and only more than an hour’s drive from the city. They could go back and forth on the same day.

　　At first, Lu Jinlang planned to let Lu Yunan drive his nanny car, but Wen Jianing said that it was unnecessary. They could just drive in his car, and it would not be troublesome for Yunan.

　　Before departure, Wen Jianing specially searched the cemetery address in the north of the county where Ke Xinhang’s parents were buried.

The author has something to say:

Why is it all BL? Li Rong is a bisexual. If he likes Wen Jianing, it seems that everyone thinks it’s normal. Why is it abnormal to like Wen Lin?

And the others inside are BG, but I won’t write about BG in detail. Whether there is a second CP or not, it won’t take up a lot of space

Not in good shape today, QAQ

       Because they didn’t make any prior reservation, Wen Jianing could not book the private room where he ate with Lu Jinlang last time. Instead, he changed to a slightly smaller private room next to it, but the surroundings were also very good. When he opened the window, he could see the mountains and trees in the distance, and the fresh cold air in the mountains came to his face.

　　Wen Jianing felt that if Wen Lin could live here for a month or two, he would probably forget all of his messy and complicated thoughts. But it was a pity that Wen Lin had no time at all.

　　When the meal was ordered, Yi Nan had not yet arrived.

　　Wen Jianing and Wen Lin stood by the window looking out at the scenery. Wen Jianing asked him, “How is it? Do you feel better?”

　　Wen Lin smiled and turned to look at him, “I know you are worried about me. Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

　　Wen Jianing put a hand on his shoulder, tightened it, and said, “Usually if you have nothing to do, go out and walk more, don’t think about acting. You must remember that when the director calls stop, you really should stop.”

       Wen Lin nodded, “I know.”

　　Yi Nan came late.

　　As soon as he came in, Wen Jianing pointed at him and said, “You are late, so you will be fined three cups.”

　　Yi Nan looked at him, “Why?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Who told you to be late? Stop talking nonsense, are you afraid? That’s not so promising.”

　　Yi Nan knew that Wen Jianing was trying to provoke him, but he just couldn’t listen to these words. So he sat down and took up the wine glass and drank three glasses in one breath.

　　Wen Lin was worried that he would get drunk all at once.

　　Wen Jianing held Wen Lin, “Don’t worry about him, wait for him to drink.”

　　The dishes were sent in one after another, and the three people chatted while eating.

　　Yi Nan talked a lot, he went out to study this time, and he had a lot of ideas about acting. As for his future goal, although he couldn’t say that he had been very firm about his future goals, he gradually was able to make them clear.

　　The three of them all made their debut in singing competitions, but now they were all on the path of acting.

       Zheng Xin once said frankly to Wen Lin, “You have to have a good position first. If you only sing well and don’t have a good position in acting, the company will not train you as it is now. It’s more likely that you’ll be like many young people who come out of singing talent shows, touring the country while they’re getting the most attention, in a position to put out one or two singles, and without acting their career may be almost over. “

　　They were all telling Wen Lin that he had no choice but to become popular first, and he could sing or act or do whatever he wanted. At that time even if he wanted to sing, there would be audiences to buy it.

　　It was precisely because Wen Lin believed their words that he could concentrate on this path to the present.

　　However, he somewhat felt depressed now. Although while sitting here, he could talk and laugh with Wen Jianing and Yi Nan, once he calmed down, he could immediately sink into a gloomy abyss, as if he had fallen into a dark and bottomless abyss.

　　Yi Nan, on the other hand, was in a good mood. He had finally found a direction for the future, and by now he had drank two more glasses. So he grabbed Wen Jianing and talked endlessly, hoping to share all the ideas he had just developed.

　　At the end of a meal, Yi Nan fell on his back on the wooden floor, stretched out his arms and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and said, “I just want to prove to my dad and them that I can do it. “

　　Wen Jianing stretched out his hand and patted him lightly, and said, “Of course you can.”

　　As soon as he said that, the door of the room suddenly opened from the outside.

　　Several people turned their heads in surprise, only to see that the person who opened the door of their private room turned out to be Cao Songquan. He hurriedly walked in and closed the door and said to Wen Jianing, “It really is you, great!”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Director Cao?”

　　Cao Songquan took off his shoes and stepped over to sit down next to them. He looked around the young people in the room and made a pleading gesture and said, “Please, please, just say I’m here to eat with you.”

　　After he finished speaking, Wen Jianing and the others heard noisy voices from the private room next door. One of the women had the loudest voice, shouting, “Where is that son of a bitch Cao Songquan?”

　　The room was silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

　　Cao Songquan wiped his sweat, and said with a wry smile, “My wife.”

　　Wen Lin and Yi Nan were not familiar with Cao Songquan, and they didn’t know what to say for a while, so they can only smile at him awkwardly.

　　Wen Jianing said, “She is so loud, don’t you want to go and have a look? Won’t it be even more confusing when she comes over and finds you?”

　　Cao Songquan reacted at once and stood up and walked towards the door, but apparently he felt very guilty, and his steps were not steady. He came to open the door, poked his head out, and said to his wife, “Wife, why are you here?”

　　After all, he was a director. Cao Songquan’s acting skills were not ordinary. He made a full expression of surprise.

　　His wife didn’t buy it. As soon as she saw him, she walked over and pushed him away and looked into the private room. To her surprise, there was not a single woman in the private room, only three young men.

　　Despite this, his wife repeatedly observed the three people in the room with suspicion on her face, especially after staring at Wen Jianing’s face for a long time. She remembered that this young man was in her husband’s movie.

　　Wen Jianing was very calm, stood up and said, “Mrs. Cao? What a coincidence? Come in and sit down together.”

　　Mrs. Cao watched for a long time and said, “No need, you guys take your time to eat.”

　　Cao Songquan heard the words, and quickly walked outside with his wife’s waist in one hand, and whispered to her for a long time, that it was nothing more than work and social engagement, and that she had misunderstood something.

　　After coaxing for a long time, Mrs. Cao turned and left, followed by a group of waiters chasing her in, who then respectfully sent her away.

　　Cao Songquan clutched his chest and felt like he had lost all his soul. He returned to Wen Jianing to sit down, put his shoulders on his shoulders, and said, “Oh, I’m scared to death.”

　　Wen Jianing looked at the three pairs of bowls and chopsticks placed on the table and thought that fortunately Mrs. Cao did not come in, otherwise he would really not be able to explain.

　　Cao Songquan obviously didn’t think that far, and said to Wen Jianing, “Fortunately, I heard that you are here, otherwise I don’t know where to hide.”

　　Wen Jianing and Cao Songquan were already close with each other, and at this moment he said, “Director Cao, you’d better restrain yourself.”

　　It was not that he had no feelings for his wife, otherwise, he wouldn’t have to be so afraid of being caught, but since the feelings were still there, he was reluctant to divorce his wife, and insisted on going behind her for ten years. Wen Jianing didn’t understand why he did that or if he regarded hide-and-seek with his wife as an exciting and stimulating thing.

　　Cao Songquan said, “You don’t understand, boy…” He stopped again, looked at Wen Lin and Yi Nan, and reached out to shake hands with them, “Hello, hello.”

　　Wen Jianing introduced them to each other one by one.

　　In fact, they have heard of each other, but this was the first time that they just sit down and eat together.

　　Cao Songquan managed to dodge his wife, and after a while brought in a beautiful young girl. He was currently preparing a new drama. This girl played a very important supporting role in his movie. It was just the two of them who came out for dinner tonight.

　　Wen Jianing ran into Cao Songquan and immediately wanted to help Yi Nan and Wen Lin to get closer to him. After all, he was a well-known director and had a wide network of people in this circle. It was exactly what Yi Nan and the others need.

　　So Wen Jianing deliberately kept Cao Songquan for a while to chat with him.

　　Wen Jianing asked Cao Songquan, “Didn’t you promise to make a movie for me?”

　　Cao Songquan said, “I remember, but didn’t Lu Jinlang get to you first? When you finish filming this movie, keep your schedule open. My next movie will definitely be tailored for you.”

　　Wen Jianing smiled and didn’t take it too seriously.

　　But today they did Cao Songquan a big favour, so Cao Songquan said that he covered all the entertainment bills after dinner.

　　Originally, Wen Jianing thought this was for Wen Lin to come out to relax, and it might not be a good thing to have many people and a lively environment. However, as long as he watched Wen Lin and did not let him drink, it shouldn’t be a problem, so he accepted Cao Songquan’s invitation.

　　There was a bar in Lanlu that was very famous because there was a small stage in the middle of the bar, equipped with the top audio equipment and professional bands. If you were lucky, you could see many famous singers. Even divas like Xu Rujing and Wang Mei have sung here with friends.

　　When they went over, there were already people in the bar, which was not surprising. However, when they opened the door and went in, they discovered that the person who was singing turned out to be Jiang Yongfei.

　　Jiang Yongfei, who belonged to the same company as Wen Jianing and the others have very little relationship with them. Jiang Yongfei, who had always been called Lei Xing’s first sister, clearly felt the threat from Wen Jianing.

　　As soon as she saw someone push the door in, the singing stopped immediately, and the band stopped accompaniment a moment later.

　　The first person to come in was Cao Songquan. After she saw him, Jiang Yongfei tilted her head and smiled, looking cutely. But then she saw Wen Jianing and the others who came in right after him, and her smile became a little awkward.

　　Jiang Yongfei was actually relatively peaceful. When she met Wen Jianing at the company, she would greet him with a smile, but that kind of friendliness was only on the surface. Before cooperating with Yi Nan on singles, Jiang Yongfei once expressed her dissatisfaction with the company in private because she felt that the company wanted to use her popularity to promote Yi Nan.

　　The reason why she smiled awkwardly at this time was because before Wen Jianing and the others came in, there was only one audience in this bar enjoying Jiang Yongfei’s performance, and that was Li Rong.

　　Li Rong had been quiet after he broke up with Yuan Qian, and there was no news from him. Of course, he and Yan Ruowei did not take each other seriously. No one really knew when he got involved with Jiang Yongfei.

　　When he saw Cao Songquan and the others coming in, Li Rong took the initiative to stand up and shook hands with Cao Songquan, and then greeted Wen Jianing and the others.

　　Everyone went over and sat down together. Cao Songquan saw Jiang Yongfei still on the stage and said, “We are so lucky, the little goddess will perform live, so many people can’t expect it.”

　　Jiang Yongfei had a sweet smile on her face, but in her heart, she wasn’t too happy to sing anymore. She and Li Rong were having fun, and she didn’t want to accompany many people, not to mention there were still some infamous little actors below.

　　However, when Li Rong saw her stop, he said, “Go on, that song just now sounds pretty good.”

　　Jiang Yongfei put a hand on her lips and coughed twice as if her throat was uncomfortable.

　　Wen Jianing took the initiative to help her out, and said, “Is Fei jie’s throat uncomfortable? Let me take you a glass of water.”

　　Jiang Yongfei immediately went down the steps. She stood up and walked down the stage and said, “I’ll take a rest first.”

　　Cao Songquan was a little disappointed, but he quickly remembered something and turned to Wen Jianing and said, “Aren’t you making your debut in a singing competition? Don’t you plan to sing a song?”

　　Wen Jianing stood up graciously upon hearing the words, walked towards the stage and said, “I heard that the audio equipment here is world-class, I want to give it a try.”

　　He sat on the stool behind the microphone, adjusted the height of the microphone, and then said the name of a song to the band. The song he chose was a popular song recently.

　　Cao Songquan was looking forward to Wen Jianing’s singing at first, but when he really started to sing, Cao Songquan was slightly disappointed because Wen Jianing’s singing was not as amazing as his acting.

　　In the past competitions, every song was carefully selected and carefully considered before performing on stage. At that time, he had been practising vocalization. Of course, it was not the same as now. Nowadays Wen Jianing neglected to practice, and it had been a long time since he sang a song in such a serious way. It sounds better than ordinary people but worse than professional singers.

　　Nevertheless, after he finished singing, he heard everyone’s encouraging applause.

　　Only when he stepped down, did Cao Songquan say to him, “You depend on Lu Jinlang for your ranking, right?”

　　Wen Jianing smiled upon hearing this and did not deny it.

　　After he got down, he suddenly thought that Wen Lin should go up and sing two songs to relieve the pressure. After sitting down, he bumped Wen Lin with his shoulder and said, “Go up and sing some songs.”

　　Wen Lin was a little shy, shook his head and said, “Forget it.”

　　”Go ahead,” Wen Jianing said to him, “The audio is very good, you don’t want to try it?”

　　This was a big temptation for someone who liked to sing.

　　Wen Lin raised his head to look at the stage.

　　Wen Jianing then said, “I’ll help you borrow a guitar. Go sing the two original songs you’ve sung before. They’re very nice and amazing.”

　　With that said, he stood up and walked towards the band.

　　Wen Lin could not refuse any more and stand up.

　　He took the electric guitar Wen Jianing borrowed from the band. Wen Lin sat on the bench on the stage and tuned the tuning.

　　Cao Songquan whistled.

　　However, after the soothing music flowed from Wen Lin’s fingertips, Cao Songquan soon quieted down. Wenlin’s music was as gentle and pure as himself.

　　Wen Jianing hadn’t heard it for a long time, but every time he listened to Wen Lin singing, it reminded him of Ke Xinhang.

　　The clean and crisp singing sounded as Wen Lin came closer to the microphone, and a dim yellow light hit his face. He looked gentle and glowing.

　　Compared with Wen Jianing’s casual singing, his singing was more serious and persistent.

　　Cao Songquan folded his arms in front of his chest, nodding to the beat of the music.

　　Li Rong propped his chin with one hand, and carefully looked at Wen Lin from top to bottom. He had actually seen Wen Lin more than once, but this was the first time the other party attracted his attention.

　　In terms of appearance, Wen Lin was not as good as Wen Jianing, but he naturally has a simple and pure complexion.

　　Wen Lin sang two songs. The second song was a love song. His voice trembled a little when he sang the last emotional piece, but he sang it successfully. After it was over, he sat on the stage without moving for a long time, and when he calmed down, he stood up, bowed, and walked down.

　　He sat down next to Wen Jianing and reached out to pick up the wine on the table to drink, but Wen Jianing stopped him.

　　Wen Jianing looked at Yi Nan.

　　Yi Nan had been with them for so long today, and he could see that Wen Lin’s mood was not right, so he changed the wine in Wen Lin’s hand into a drink.

　　Wen Lin didn’t force it, just smiled and said, “Thank you.”

　　No one went up to sing again, and the band began to play soothing music.

　　Jiang Yongfei pulled Li Rong lightly and tried to invite him to leave.

　　Li Rong smiled at her and said in an irrefutable tone, “Sit back.”

　　Wen Lin had sung two songs and really felt that he had vented a little. He yearns for this kind of performance on the stage, which was different from singing alone at home. He hoped that his songs could be heard and appreciated.

　　But now he couldn’t even go to a bar to sing, because he chose this road that he didn’t know whether it was right or wrong.

　　Wen Lin kept looking at the small stage in front of him as Wen Jianing spoke to him.

　　Yi Nan noticed and said, “You can often come to sing in the future.”

　　Wen Jianing heard the words and said, “Yes, you can come whenever you want.”

　　Wen Lin nodded.

　　That night, they spent the night in Lanlu. It was still a kind of small courtyard-like accommodation, but they opened three single rooms.

　　After lying in bed, Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang talked on the phone. He didn’t know how much this would improve Wen Lin’s mental condition, but if it could play a role, even if just a little bit, at least he could do something instead of watching Wen Lin sank deeper and deeper.

　　Lu Jinlang said to him, “Take a good rest and shoot tomorrow.”

　　”Well,” Wen Jianing said softly, “Good night, see you tomorrow.”

　　The atmosphere inside Lu Jinfeng’s study on the second floor was not as relaxed as downstairs. 

　　Lu Jinfeng and Lu Jinlang sat face to face. With a sullen face, Lu Jinfeng said, “What do you mean? Why are you deliberately telling mom? You want to piss her off?”

　　Lu Jinlang heard the words and said softly, “Eldest brother, you underestimate mom’s character, she may not be very angry.”

　　After all, Lu Jinlang was Yu He’s youngest child. In fact, she doted on the child a little too much. They relied on Lu Jinfeng, the eldest brother, to keep him in check since childhood.

　　The old lady was shocked, but he couldn’t tell how angry she was.

　　Lu Jinfeng sighed heavily, “Jin Lang, aren’t you 34 this year?”

　　Lu Jinlang nodded.

       Lu Jinfeng said, “I just want to see how long you can still play. I thought you would be sensible and sober when you were older, but now you do this kind of thing to me?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “It’s because I’m getting older that I have become more and more aware of what I want.” When he said that, he was silent for a moment, “Actually, I was not serious with him at the beginning. As you said, I’m going to have enough fun and get married to a woman. But I found that I couldn’t do it at all. I was serious about him.”

　　Lu Jinfeng stared at him, “Two men? Have you ever thought that you won’t even have children together? How long can this kind of relationship last?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Second brother and the second sister in law have a child, but how long have they held on?”

　　Lu Jinfeng was silent upon hearing this.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Eldest brother, let me ask you. If you and sister in law didn’t have any children, would you choose to divorce her?”

　　Lu Jinfeng said in a deep voice, “Of course not.” He and Kang Huanxian had been married for so many years. His wife had suffered with him, bringing up two younger brothers and a mother at that time, and Kang Huanxian never complained. Whether there were children or not, it was impossible to affect the relationship between the two of them.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Yes, what is the difference between me and Xinhang? It doesn’t matter whether it is a male or a female, whether we are married or whether we have children. If you don’t love one another, you can still divorce even if you have a child. As long as your feelings are still there, why can’t you live a lifetime without children?”

　　Lu Jinfeng said, “Don’t tell me those fallacies, isn’t Ke Xinhang still very young?”

　　”He is twelve years younger than me,” Lu Jinlang said softly.

　　Lu Jinfeng looked at him, “He is still so young, and you want to stay with him for the rest of your life? Are you sure that he is willing to stay with you for the rest of your life? In ten years, when you are in your forties, he is only in his early thirties. He can turn around at any time, then what are you gonna do?”

　　Lu Jinlang was silent for a moment, and said, “He won’t.”

　　His tone was too determined, and Lu Jinfeng couldn’t help being startled slightly, and said, “He won’t? Why do you say he won’t?”

　　Lu Jinlang told him, “Because he is the person I like, I believe in my own eyes. Will sister in law have a change of heart? You also believe it is impossible, right? Love is not just a fairy tale. Why did mother and father marry back then? Has her heart changed since Dad passed away after so many years? You and sister in law have been supporting each other until now, and you still don’t know anything about feelings between two people in a relationship? Who are you to question our relationship?”

　　Outside the room, the old lady of the Lu family kept her ears to the door to eavesdrop. When she heard this, her nose was stuffy and her eyes were a little teary.

　　She sucked her nose hard.

　　Lu Jinxin couldn’t see it anymore, stretched out her hand and said, “Mom, what are you eavesdropping on!”

　　The old lady waved her hand to prevent Lu Jinxin from touching her, and accidentally bumped her elbow on the door.

　　”Who is that?” Lu Jinfeng was a little angry, and shouted, “Come in!”

　　Lu Jinlang stood up, walked over and opened the door.

　　The old lady hurriedly hid behind Lu Jinxin.

　　Lu Jinfeng was about to get angry, and Lu Jinxin said, “It’s Mother who is eavesdropping outside.”

　　The old lady slapped her second son hard, “Bad boy!”

　　Originally, Lu Jinfeng didn’t want his mother to know and planned to solve the matter by himself, but Lu Jinlang had already confessed in front of his mother so he had nothing to hide, so he said, “Come in and sit down.”

　　Kang Huanxian poked her head in through the door and smiled gently, “I’ll bring the fruit in for you.”

　　The whole family was so peaceful that Lu Jinfeng didn’t have the heart to lose his temper. He waved his hand and said, “Whatever.”

　　The old lady started to sigh as soon as she sat in.

　　Lu Jinfeng knew that she had something to say, so he said, “Just say anything you want.”

　　The old lady glanced at her eldest son and then at her third son, and said, “Although it’s not right for a man to be with a man, I also think you shouldn’t question people’s feelings casually. Who says it’s impossible to last for a lifetime?”

　　Lu Jinxin couldn’t help laughing when he heard his mother say this.

　　Lu Jinfeng glared at him, “Don’t laugh!” Sometimes he couldn’t restrain his anger when facing this younger brother.

　　But as for their mother, the brothers all knew that the old lady was not quite right in her mind. She had been living in a fantasy for a lifetime, kind and straightforward, easy to believe in others, and thought that love was the best feeling in the world. But because of this, she was able to live happily, and the Lu family brothers did not intend to persuade or change her.

　　But at the moment, it was obvious that after listening to Lu Jinlang say a few words of true love, the old lady’s heart was a little compromised. Lu Jinfeng didn’t intend to let them mess around, and said, “I don’t care whether they are sincere or not. I don’t agree with this matter.”

　　Lu Jinlang knew that Lu Jinfeng was not that easy to persuade. He wanted to take his time and was not in a hurry.

　　The old lady still frowned and sighed again.

　　Kang Huanxian came into the study with the fruit plate and put it on the table for Lu Jinfeng and the others. Just when she heard the old lady sigh, she asked, “Mother in law, why are you sighing? The TV series is about to begin today, are you not going to watch it?”

　　The old lady struggled for a long time, and finally said what she had been holding back all night, “I still prefer Xiao Zongyan, third child. Even if you don’t have a relationship, you still can invite that kid for dinner. I want to see him.”

　　”Mom!” Lu Jinfeng thought it was ridiculous. He wasted his saliva and said so many objections to Lu Jinlang. But then, the old lady at home wanted to invite him here.

　　Lu Jinxin said, “Mom, you are not sick, right?”

　　Lu Jinfeng scolded him, “How can you talk to mom like that?”

　　Lu Jinxin crossed his mouth and signalled that he had shut up.

　　Lu Jinlang stood up and said to his mother, “You can see him anytime you want, and he should also want to see you.”

　　The old lady glanced at her eldest son and nodded secretly to Lu Jinlang.

　　On the Lu family’s side, the whole family was buzzing with activity. Wen Jianing drove to see Ke Xinfan by himself after finishing work.

　　Ke Xinfan was not in the ward when he arrived but went to smoke on the balcony outside the corridor.

　　Wen Jianing had only intended to say hello to him.

　　Ke Xinfan said, “Are you alone today? Where is Lu Jinlang?”

　　These days, as long as Lu Jinlang was free, he would come with him. They came to see Ke Xinfan almost every day.

　　Ke Xinfan actually felt a little strange, “Don’t you hate me? Why do you still rush to see me like this every day?”

　　Wen Jianing told him, “I don’t hate you too much. It’s you who has never said any good words since you came back. What do you want me to do to you?”

　　Ke Xinfan sighed with a cigarette in his mouth.

　　Wen Jianing asked him, “When will you be discharged from the hospital?”

　　Ke Xinfan said, “The doctor checked me in the ward this morning and said I would be discharged next week.”

　　”That’s good,” Wen Jianing said, “Next week we will make some time to go back to our hometown and pay respects to… Our mom and dad.”

　　He left Ke Xinfan, and Wen Jianing went to pick Wen Lin up from the set.

　　Because he called Wen Lin suddenly, when Wen Jianing arrived, the shooting here was not over yet.

　　The abused scenes had basically all been filmed. Now, the ongoing scene was that after the teenager played by Wen Lin was found by his biological mother, he still fell into a boundless nightmare.

　　He fell asleep at night and was awakened by nightmares. His mother came to his room and turned on the light to comfort him.

　　When he was held in his arms by the actor who played his biological mother, he started crying. The cry was very heartbreaking, and the tears couldn’t stop flowing down.

　　Because of the themes of the movie, the crew had always had a dull atmosphere. Even if a scene was over, almost no one spoke loudly, and each prepared for the next work in an orderly manner.

　　The director then said that they could call it a day.

　　Wen Lin stood up from the bed and stood there for a while.

　　Wen Jianing could feel that Wen Lin’s mental state had not improved at all. He stepped forward and said to him, “You alright? Can we go now?”

　　Wen Lin suddenly snapped back to his consciousness and said, “Oh, Xinhang, you are here.”

　　Wen Jianing patted him on the shoulder, “Go change your clothes, we will have dinner together tonight.”

　　Wen Lin nodded, “Okay.”

　　While Wen Lin went to change his clothes, Wen Jianing approached Zhu Zexin and asked him if Wen Lin had not seen a psychiatrist.

　　Zhu Zexin said, “The doctor is too busy, and the appointments have been filled recently. I will do it as soon as possible in two days.”

　　Wen Jianing said to him, “Wen Lin’s mental state is too unstable, please contact him as soon as possible. If you really can’t get in touch, just call me and I will help you to contact him.”

　　Zhu Zexin seemed to be in a hurry, and said, “I know. Then I will leave first. Will you send Wen Lin back?”

　　Wen Jianing nodded.

　　When Zhu Zexin left, Wen Lin also changed his clothes and took off his makeup.

　　He had lost a lot of weight recently, and his face looked pale, which was very suitable for his role. He looked like a sick and beautiful young man.

　　Wen Jianing went over to pat him on his shoulders.

　　He smiled and asked, “Where to go? What to eat?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “What do you want to eat?”

　　Wen Lin tilted his head and thought for a while.

　　Wen Jianing was making plans quickly. He wanted to take Wen Lin to a warm and bright place that could make people feel happy. But they were destined to not be able to go to public places, so at this time he thought of Lanlu.

　　The small courtyard where he stayed with Lu Jinlang in Lanlu and the elegant private room of Japanese decoration all made Wen Jianing feel comfortable.

　　And since it was on the outskirts of the city, it would take less than an hour to walk around the city directly, so it was better to stay one night and get to the studio in time tomorrow morning.

　　When he saw that Wen Lin hadn’t made a decision for a long time, he said first, “Let’s go to Lanlu, the environment over there is good.”

　　Wen Lin immediately agreed upon hearing this, “Okay, let’s go there.”

　　Wen Jianing drove off, and when he got in the car, he called Lu Jinlang and said that he would not go back to sleep tonight.

　　At this time, Lu Jinlang just came out of Lu Jinfeng’s study, stood in the corridor and stopped, and said, “Why? Are you going to spend the night with Wen Lin?”

　　Wen Jianing didn’t say anything like wanting to make Wen Lin open up in front of Wen Lin. He just said to Lu Jinlang, “Yes, can I sleep with Wen Lin tonight?”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled, “You didn’t ask me before you made a decision?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I’m asking for your permission now, Boss Lu.”

　　Lu Jinlang said softly, “Have fun, let him relax, and don’t sleep too late.”

　　When the two of them were talking on the phone, the old lady Lu got close to Lu Jinlang and suddenly grabbed Lu Jinlang’s arm and said, “Are you talking to that kid?”

　　”Mom?” Lu Jinlang turned his head in surprise.

　　Wen Jianing was also surprised on the phone and suddenly became nervous.

　　The old lady said to Lu Jinlang, “Oh, tell him it’s me, it’s xiao He, does he remember me?”

　　Lu Jinlang hadn’t spoken yet, but Wen Jianing had already heard the conversation on the other side of the phone. He said to Lu Jinlang, “You tell Aunt Lu, I still remember her.”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “You have to call her xiao He, or she will be unhappy.”

　　Wen Jianing held back a smile and called out, “Xiao He.”

　　Lu Jinlang put the phone to the ear of the old lady and asked her, “Do you hear it?”

　　The old lady nodded repeatedly.

　　Lu Jinlang then said to Wen Jianing, “Okay, I’ll hang up. Drive safely.”

　　Wen Jianing gave an “um” and then hung up the phone.

　　Wen Lin was listening to him talking on the phone. At this moment, he smiled and said, “I never thought that you and Lu Jinlang would become like this.”

　　Wen Jianing thought of the old lady Lu, still couldn’t help smiling, and turned his head to look at Wen Lin, “What do we look like now?”

　　Wen Lin thought for a while but didn’t know how to describe it, so he said, “Looks very happy.”

　　Wen Jianing then said to him, “Then get a girlfriend.” He felt that Wen Lin’s mental condition might be improved if he could find someone to communicate with and share with him.

　　Wen Lin didn’t say anything. He raised his head and took a deep breath. He felt depressed and low, and even he seemed to have trouble breathing.

　　”Let’s talk about it later,” Wen Lin said later.

　　Wen Jianing did not press him again, but later called Yi Nan and said, “Are you free to eat together? It’s been a long time since you were in Asia.”

　　Yi Nan recently accompanied his mother Yun Shuying on a trip around the country, where he took a semester of acting courses, and just returned from abroad. Next, the company still picked up a TV series for him and packaged it according to how it was previously. They believe it would be another hit.

　　Before the TV series started filming, he had been at home all the time.

　　Yi Nan hesitated when Wen Jianing said to go to Lanlu, “So far?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Will you come? Let’s sleep together tonight.”

　　Yi Nan was taken aback, and then a little annoyed, “Who wants to sleep with you? Pervert!”

　　Wen Jianing laughed happily when Yi Nan said this to him.

　　Yi Nan said before hanging up, “Wait for me, I will be there soon.”

The author has something to say:
I had to work late this afternoon, so I came back a little late.

Notes:
Yi Nan is really like a tsundere （○´艸｀）
And just a food for thoughts, there is a reason why some family is obsessed with having a kid and think that in any situation, it’s way better to have a child. It is because they feel the need to continue blood and family name. It’s illogical I know, but it’s a principle that they held high no matter how illogical it sounds to other people

       After a short two-day break, Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang returned to the set to continue filming.

       Because of Lu Jinlang’s careful requirements, the progress of the filming was not too fast, but generally speaking, it went smoothly. He was very satisfied with Jian Jun, who was scouted by himself.

　　Wen Jianing could also feel Jian Jun’s potential, who sometimes had some interesting ideas about acting.

　　It was like the scene they filmed today. As Yuan Xu’s father was dying, Yuan Sheng suddenly appeared to say goodbye to Yuan Xu.

　　The performance scene was in the small courtyard of Yuan’s family. At this time, Yuan Xu had not felt sad about his father’s imminent death. He squatted numbly on the steps of the small courtyard.

       At this time, Jian Jun, who played Yuan Sheng, walked in.

       According to the script and the director’s request, Jian Jun came to say goodbye to Wen Jianing. Wen Jianing was baffled because he didn’t know what was going on. Jian Jun shook his hand, blessed his future life, and then turned and left.

       At the time of the official shooting, Jian Jun was very emotional. Some of his actions were not planned initially but were completely the result of being emotional. He put his hand on the back of Wen Jianing’s neck, put his head on his shoulder, hugged him hard, then let go, and then smiled at him and said, “Don’t be angry with your mother, she worked so hard to raise you until you are this big. Please be considerate of her. In the future, the family should get along and live a good life.”

　　Wen Jianing looked a little startled at his expression, and asked, “Sheng ge, what’s the matter with you?”

　　Jian Jun smiled, waved to him, and then turned to leave.

　　Although they hadn’t performed this scene even once, Lu Jinlang agreed with Jian Jun’s emotional performance. During the break, he asked Jian Jun what he thought of the scene.

　　Because Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing were both out today, Tongtong could not stay at home alone, so they brought him to the set.

　　During the shooting, Tong Tong was handed over to Lu Yunan.

　　But as soon as Lu Yunan didn’t pay attention, Tongtong went to touch the filming equipment on the set.

　　Wen Jianing picked up Tongtong from behind, put him on a high stool next to him, and said helplessly, “Don’t be naughty, have you forgotten about your head being stuck last time?”

　　Tongtong opened his mouth as if he had really forgotten.

　　Wen Jianing saw both his palms were covered in dust, so he took a tissue to wipe his hands carefully.

　　Jian Jun was talking to Lu Jinlang, but at this moment, he looked in Wen Jianing’s direction in a daze.

　　Lu Jinlang lowered his head to write and draw on the script, and suddenly realized that he had not received Jian Jun’s response, so he raised his head to look at him, followed his gaze, and saw Wen Jianing helping Tongtong wipe his hands.

　　He turned the pen in his hand, Lu Jinlang said to Jian Jun, “Jian Jun, any more ideas?”

　　Jian Jun suddenly came back to his senses when he heard his name, shook his head, and said, “No, nothing.”

　　Lu Jinlang then said, “Well, we’ll go first according to your idea later.”

　　Jian Jun nodded.

　　Wen Jianing wiped Tong Tong’s hands clean, picked him up from the stool, and led him to Lu Yunan.

　　At this time, Wen Tinghuan hurriedly walked by Wen Jianing from a distance, looked down at Tongtong, and then said to Wen Jianing, “Did you take this child out two days ago and get photographed?”

　　Wen Jianing glanced at her strangely, “Yes, what’s the matter?”

　　Wen Tinghuan said, “Have a look on the Internet.”

　　He was photographed by the paparazzi that day when he took Tongtong out on the street. After the photo was posted on the Internet, there was not much response, after all, it was just a trivial piece of news. But he didn’t expect that after just two days, some netizens found an old photo of Lu Jinlang. The photo was taken about half a year ago. It was a photo of Lu Jinlang walking out of a restaurant holding Tongtong in his arms. These gossip websites were not so polite to Lu Jinlang. They wrote the words “illegal son” directly in the title, followed by a big question mark. Although the content of the news was vague, it deliberately pointed to the suspicious identity of the child.

　　Netizens who were good at digging up stuff took this photo at this time, and also deliberately enlarged Tongtong’s face for comparison, and concluded that they were the same person.

　　So there are a lot of speculations circulating around.

　　The most common speculation was that Lu Jinlang was Wen Jianing’s sponsor. Wen Jianing had been highly praised since his debut because of Lu Jinlang’s influence. Now he was the main actor in a movie which also happens to be directed by Lu Jinlang.

　　A well-known blogger on Weibo put the two photos together and wrote: This was clearly a family of three!

　　This Weibo post had caused a lot of reposts, but everyone was just taking it as a joke, and no one took it seriously.

　　Wen Jianing saw the news, raised his head and said to Wen Tinghuan, “This kind of gossip will soon subside as long as you don’t pay attention to it.”

　　The internet nowadays was too vast, countless information floods people’s eyes every day. Today’s headlines were likely to be thrown out of people’s minds because of a bigger news tomorrow, not to mention these meaningless speculations.

　　But these things that Wen Jianing didn’t pay attention to were noticed by others.

　　Lu Jinlang was explaining to the assistant director. When he was about to continue shooting, Lu Yunan brought his mobile phone over. The muted mobile phone screen was flashing, showing it was Lu Jinfeng’s call.

　　After answering the phone, Lu Jinlang heard his eldest brother ask, “Is Tongtong with you?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Yes.”

　　Lu Jinfeng said, “Bring Tongtong here tonight, and you will also go home for dinner.”

　　Lu Jinlang glanced in the direction of Wen Jianing and Tongtong, and replied, “Okay, I understand.”

　　After he hung up the phone, he stood up and walked in Wen Jianing’s direction. He didn’t know that such a piece of news had been circulating on the Internet. He just listened to Lu Jinfeng’s tone and felt that there was probably something he wanted to say.

　　Walking to Wen Jianing, he said, “My eldest brother told me to go back for dinner tonight.”

　　Wen Jianing felt something amiss, and asked, “Is something wrong?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “I don’t know yet, he suddenly asked me to take Tongtong back.”

　　Wen Tinghuan let out a soft ‘Ah’, “You have not seen the pictures on the internet?”

　　”What picture?” Lu Jinlang asked.

　　Wen Jianing handed him his cell phone.

　　Lu Jinlang saw the two photos, flipped through the online comments, and exhaled, “I see.”

　　He thought that Lu Jinfeng must have seen it, or his mother or his sister-in-law saw it, and then told Lu Jinfeng.

　　A few days ago, Lu Jinfeng followed the top leaders of the city out of town to go on a trip. He just came back in less than a week. But even when he came back, he was so busy that he worked overtime until late at night.

　　Both Lu Jinlang and Lu Jinxin were brought up by Lu Jinfeng, but after their two younger brothers became adults, and their respective businesses expanded, Lu Jinfeng didn’t care much about them anymore.

　　For Lu Jinfeng, time was very precious, especially during dinner time every day. This was not a special day of the festival. If he was gathering the family for dinner, in Lu Jinlang’s opinion, Lu Jinfeng must have something important to say.

　　After they finished work early in the afternoon, Lu Jinlang drove back with Tongtong and asked Lu Yunan to drive Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Jianing declined. He planned to go to Wen Lin for dinner while he had time.

　　Lu Jinlang nodded and told him to be careful on the road and not to drink if he was driving.

　　Wen Jianing held Lu Jinlang’s hand when no one was seeing him around.

　　The old house of the Lu family had been around for some years. It was bought when Lu Jinlang’s father was still alive. The villa in the suburbs was now in the city centre, but the surrounding environment was very quiet.

　　The old lady Lu was used to living here for decades, and she refused to move anywhere. Usually, Lu Jinfeng and his wife live with the old lady. They also have a daughter, who was now studying abroad.

　　Lu Jinlang parked the car on the lawn outside the house and helped Tong Tong open the car door and untie his seat belt. The little guy was excited to call his grandma and ran into the house.

　　Tongtong just ran to the door and saw Lu Jinfeng standing by the door, so he braked sharply and ran back towards Lu Jinlang. Lu Jinfeng has a serious personality, and everyone in the Lu family was a little afraid of him.

　　Lu Jinlang picked up Tongtong, greet his eldest brother, and walked inside.

　　Lu Jinfeng’s time was precious, and he didn’t like to beat around the bush. He stood at the door and let Tongtong come in first, but left Lu Jinlang behind and asked straightforwardly, “What’s the matter with Ke Xinhang?”

　　Lu Jinlang didn’t intend to hide it from him. Sooner or later, he had to confess this matter. Since Lu Jinfeng asked, he saved him from looking for another opportunity, so he said straightforwardly, “My lover.”

　　Lu Jinfeng was a little surprised. He had suspected it because he had heard some rumours about Lu Jinlang’s sexual orientation. When he saw the news, his first reaction was to call Lu Jinxin and ask him how his son ran to others. At that time, Lu Jinxin said vaguely that it was not because of Lu Jinlang’s relationship, so Lu Jinfeng felt something was wrong.

　　But Lu Jinlang was too frank, and he didn’t have a chance to say what he was prepared to ask, he was taken aback for a while before he said, “Are you kidding?”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled, “I’m not kidding. Eldest brother, I plan to take him home someday.”

　　Lu Jinfeng’s face didn’t look good, “Are you crazy?”

　　At that moment, the person who helped Lu Jinlang shifted Lu Jinfeng’s anger suddenly appeared. Lu Jinxin stopped the car and walked over. He saw his eldest brother and third brother standing at the door talking from a distance, so he waved and said hello.

　　Lu Jinfeng was also angry at Lu Jinxin, and yelled, “Is that how you take care of your son? Throwing him to Lu Jinlang? How did you become a father?”

　　Lu Jinxin stopped, reached out to scratch his head, took out a cigarette from his pocket and wanted to smoke.

　　Lu Jinfeng said, “Why are you smoking? We are going to eat soon.”

　　As soon as he finished speaking, his wife Kang Huanxian cautiously said behind him, “The food’s ready. Jinlang and Jinxin, let’s come in first.”

　　Lu Jinfeng lowered his voice and said to Lu Jinlang, “Come to my study after dinner.”

　　At dinner, the whole family was quiet.

　　But everyone could tell that Lu Jinfeng was in a bad mood.

　　The old lady Lu took a sip of the soup with a spoon. After putting down the spoon, she suddenly said to Lu Jinxin, “Look at you, upsetting your eldest brother. You are already an adult.”

　　She thought that Lu Jinfeng was upset because it was because of Lu Jinxin’s divorce and that he didn’t take care of Tongtong.

　　Lu Jinxin was unhappy when he was wronged, so he put his chopsticks on the table and said, “Why is it my fault? It’s obviously the third child’s fault.”

　　The old lady Lu said, “What do you mean by the third? The third is the most obedient, so he won’t cause trouble.”

　　Kang Huanxian was the first in her family to see the news on the Internet. She knew that the reason Lu Jinfeng was unhappy today was that he saw those two photos, so at this time she dissuaded the old lady Lu and told her to stop talking and kept putting vegetables in her bowl.

　　Lu Jinlang put down the dishes and suddenly said to the old lady, “Mom, I’m in a relationship.”

　　The old Lu was instantly elated, and she asked with a smile on her face, “When did it happen? Have you got a girlfriend?”

　　Before Lu Jinfeng had time to stop Lu Jinlang, he continued, “Not a girlfriend, but a boyfriend.”

　　The old lady Lu was still smiling when her eyes widened in surprise, her expression was a bit distorted, and she asked, “What? Boyfriend? Who is whose boyfriend?”

　　Lu Jinfeng growled, “Enough! Shut up!”

　　Lu Jinlang continued, “I said my lover is a man.”

　　The old lady frowned tightly this time, with a complicated expression on her face. It was obviously too sudden that she couldn’t react properly, and she said in a daze, “A man…”

　　Lu Jinfeng put the chopsticks down again, stood up and said to Lu Jinlang, “Come upstairs and talk to me!”

　　Tongtong was taken aback and leaned toward the old lady Lu.

　　The old lady hugged him quickly.

　　Lu Jinlang stood up obediently and followed Lu Jinfeng up to the second floor.

　　The old lady hugged her grandson tightly, and she struggled for a long time and said, “How do you find a man to fall in love with? Look, this time, you will make your eldest brother angry.”

　　Lu Jinxin said in the news, “Mom, your focus is wrong.”

　　The old lady looked at him, “Why is my focus wrong?”

　　Lu Jinxin said, “It doesn’t matter whether the eldest brother is angry or not, the important thing is that the third child is really playing with a man now and wants to live with him for a lifetime.”

　　The old lady wrinkled her face into a ball, “So, this means he can’t have a child.”

　　Lu Jinxin didn’t speak.

　　After a while, she said again, “The third child is stubborn and determined, once he made up his mind, your eldest brother won’t be able to convince him. What should we do?”

　　Lu Jinxin said, “How do I know?”

　　The old lady glared at him, “Stop eating, go up and take a look. Don’t make a noise.”

　　Lu Jinxin helplessly put down his food, stood up and walked towards the stairs.

　　The old lady stretched out her hand and touched Tongtong’s head. After a while, she asked Kang Huanxian, “Sister in law, do you know who it is?”

　　Kang Huanxian only saw the photo today. Although Lu Jinlang didn’t say it clearly, she guessed it in her heart, so she whispered, “It seems that we have seen him at Jinlang’s house before. Mom, young man you like who played the lord.”

　　The old lady was taken aback for a moment, then opened her eyes wide and said, “Xiao Zongyan?”

　　Kang Huanxian nodded.

　　The old lady continued “Aiya, Aiya” several times, and she suddenly fell silent, and she didn’t move for a long time.

　　That afternoon, Wen Jianing went to visit Wen Lin’s set.

　　In order to make things easier, he specifically called Wen Tinghuan to accompany him, but it turned out that Wen Tinghuan took Jian Jun with her.

　　Wen Jianing asked when he got in the car, “Is Jian Jun going too?”

　　Wen Tinghuan said, “Take him to see Wen Lin too, you guys are also considered as brothers.”

　　Wen Jianing got into the car and sat beside Jian Jun. Jian Jun felt that he had touched Wen Jianing’s leg, so he moved a little aside.

　　Wen Lin’s movie was currently being shot in the studio. Because it was a small budget movie, there were not many locations for the whole movie, and most of the plots were shot in the studio.

　　When Wen Jianing arrived, Wen Lin was in the middle of filming.

　　Because of Wen Jianing’s arrival, there was a small-scale commotion on the scene, but no one made a sound to interrupt the shooting of this shot.

　　Wen Jianing saw that Wen Lin’s set was in a dark hut. The windows were small and thick and dense iron bars were welded on. His arms were tied behind his back, his eyes were covered by cloth, and his mouth was stuffed with cloth. Wen Lin was wearing a white shirt and his hair was a little longer. The bangs fell off and looked a bit childish. He seemed to be thinner than a few days ago, and he looked a little pitiful when he was tied up like this.

　　Then, a short and strong man walked in. The man was wearing leather shoes and walking on the ground made a heavy noise.

　　Wen Jianing saw Wen Lin start to tremble.

　　The man walked to Wen Lin’s side, stood for a while without doing anything, then turned and left.

　　It wasn’t until the man left that Wen Lin’s trembling slowly slowed until it completely subsided.

　　The director called to stop.

　　The shackles on Wen Lin’s body had not been untied, because he needed to continue to take another shot. He was still tied up in the small black room, and a middle-aged woman in high heels came in. She stepped on and kicked Wen Lin with her heels. Wen Lin let out a frightened and suppressed scream, trying to move his body to avoid her, but he was unable to do so.

　　Wen Jianing remembered the plot of the movie Wen Lin once told was about a child who grew up being abused by his stepmother.

　　The stepmother was an actress who was experienced in acting. She looked very cruel every time she kicked, but the heels were covered with soft foam, and she avoided the sharpest heels, mostly with the soles of the shoes. It shouldn’t hurt too much on Wen Lin.

　　But Wen Lin’s cry sounded terrible. This performance looked very lifelike. The scene was always very quiet and no one made any noise. They seemed to be amazed by his performance.

　　However, Wen Jianing could see that this was not Wen Lin’s acting skills, he was genuinely scared.

　　Even until the end of the filming, when he was unchained and the cloth strips covering his eyes were taken off. His face was still pale.

　　Jian Jun stood beside Wen Jianing and looked at him, and suddenly said softly, “He doesn’t seem very good.”

　　Wen Jianing walked toward Wen Lin.

　　Wen Lin didn’t notice him at first, only until Wen Jianing stood in front of him, he suddenly turned around, “Xinhang? When did you come?”

　　Other staff members ran over to find Wen Jianing’s autograph for a photo, but he politely refused.

　　Wen Jianing asked Wen Lin, “Is there a convenient place to talk?”

　　Wen Lin was a little at a loss for a moment, and said after a moment, “Wait a minute, I’ll go and ask the director.”

　　There was nowhere to talk, so they simply returned to Wen Tinghuan’s car, and Wen Lin’s agent Zhu Zexin also followed.

　　Since they were all from the same company, Wen Jianing said to Wen Lin bluntly, “Wen Lin, your recent state is not quite right.”

　　Wen Lin actually understood that his condition was not good. Not only was it not good, but he felt that he was probably a little depressed. During the filming today, from the moment he was tied up, he felt very scared and uncomfortable. When he heard the footsteps of someone approaching, he was even more scared and his whole body trembled.

　　Wen Tinghuan glanced at Zhu Zexin. She felt that Wen Lin was in such a bad state. As an agent and assistant, Zhu Zexin should be more or less responsible.

　　But Zhu Zexin just frowned and said nothing. In fact, from the very beginning, he didn’t think much of Wen Lin. He felt that among the three of them, Wen Lin was the least distinctive and might have the bleakest future.

　　He had shot two TV dramas in succession. The first one made Wen Jianing famous and the second one made Yi Nan famous. Wen Lin himself was still dull, but there were movies to be made. So he should be more or less content.

　　Of course he could see that Wen Lin was in a bad state, but so what? The movie had already been made and the contract had been signed. It was impossible to give up halfway, and they had to keep filming no matter what.

　　Wen Jianing put his hands on Wen Lin’s shoulders, and said, “Wen Lin, listen, you are too deep into the play now, and you must pull yourself out.”

　　Wen Lin was a little startled, “Too deep into the play?”

　　Since he took the play, he had been studying the script and figuring out the characters very seriously. He felt that Wen Jianing was right, he had to fight for some things on his own. If he was in Wen Jianing’s position and proposed to release an album, the company might not be happy, but there was no reason to refuse.

　　He didn’t like acting, nor was he good at acting, but it didn’t mean that he couldn’t perform well after trying hard. There were many things that you would only know the results were if you tried hard.

　　Over the past few days, he felt that he had indeed figured out the character well, being scared to the point of trembling. It was the mentality that this role should have, and he thought that he had portrayed it very well. But why did Wen Jianing tell him that he must pull away this time?

　　Wen Jianing looked at Wen Lin’s confused face and suddenly felt some regret.

　　Before Wen Lin took the role, he already discussed it with him, but at that time Wen Jianing was also troubled by his affairs with Lu Jinlang, and didn’t take it too seriously. Moreover, he had rich acting experience and could distinguish the difference between acting and reality. It did not mean that Wen Lin, a newcomer who had just debuted less than two years ago, could distinguish clearly.

　　He was not responsible for Wen Lin, but since the two debuted together until now, to be honest, their relationship was not shallow. Wen Jianing felt that if he could help Wen Lin, he must do it.

　　Wen Jianing nodded affirmatively to Wen Lin, “You have to make it clear that you are performing this role. You can’t feel the same way as him. The injuries he has suffered are not really on you.  It’s a virtual character and a fictional story.”

　　Wen Lin was a little puzzled, “Then how can I perform this role well?”

　　Wen Jianing didn’t know how to answer Wen Lin’s question. To put it bluntly, it was a psychological problem. He himself would also be immersed in the role, but when the director called for a stop, he could immediately withdraw. He understood the difference between acting and life.

　　Wen Jianing said to him, “Go see a psychiatrist.”

　　Wen Lin had to continue filming, so they couldn’t afford to delay too long. When he left, Wen Jianing thought about asking Wen Lin to come out for a talk. It was best to have a quiet environment to make him open up.

　　At the same time, he also said to Zhu Zexin, “Please arrange a psychiatrist for Wen Lin.”

　　Zhu Zexin frowned very slightly and said, “I understand.”

　　Wen Tinghuan sighed when he started the car and said, “Wen Lin just thinks too much.”

　　The more delicate a person was, the easier it was to fall into some emotions that were difficult to extricate oneself from.

　　Jian Jun sat beside Wen Jianing and couldn’t help but said, “Is it easy to be depressed like this?”

　　Wen Tinghuan nodded, “Yes, so you must distinguish between what is real and what is fiction. Acting is acting, don’t get caught up in it.”

　　Jian Jun heard the words and couldn’t help turning his head and glancing at Wen Jianing beside him.

　　Wen Jianing frowned and looked out the car window in silence.

　　Wen Tinghuan sent him home. He opened the door and saw Lu Jinlang and Tongtong sitting on the sofa watching TV together. Lu Jinlang was wearing glasses and looked particularly gentle. There was a magazine on his leg.

　　Tongtong was so absorbed in watching the TV that he didn’t even hear Wen Jianing coming back.

　　Wen Jianing walked over and rubbed Tongtong’s head.

　　Tongtong looked up at him. His mouth was slightly open, and he didn’t have time to close it.

　　Wen Jianing smiled and said, “Look at you,” and then sat down between him and Lu Jinlang.

　　Lu Jinlang raised his hand around his waist and asked, “How is Wen Lin?”

　　Wen Jianing sighed, “At that time, he shouldn’t have been allowed to take the role. He was a little too deep in the play to get out.”

　　Lu Jinlang was silent for a while, took out his mobile phone to find a phone number, and said, “Tell him to see a psychiatrist. Tell him the phone number and address, so that he can visit the doctor when he is free.”

　　Wen Jianing nodded, wrote down the number and sent it to Zhu Zexin. He was afraid that Wen Lin would not contact him, and hoped that Zhu Zexin could arrange it for him.

　　At around eight o’clock in the evening, Tongtong was still sitting on the sofa and watching TV, while Wen Jianing was sitting next to him and watching with him.

　　Lu Jinlang was originally reading on the second floor, then walked down in slippers and went straight to turn off the TV, and then said to Tongtong, “You should take a shower, and go to bed after the shower.”

　　Tongtong looked up at him and said, “I want to watch more.”

　　Lu Jinlang shook his head, “Go take a bath.”

　　Wen Jianing watched Lu Jinlang carry Tongtong up to the second floor, so he followed, leaning against the bathroom door, and watched Lu Jinlang strip Tongtong’s clothes naked and herded him into the bathtub like a chicken. After Tongtong went into the bathtub, only then did Lu Jinlang remember to put hot water in.

　　Tongtong was drenched by the splashing cold water and shuddered.

　　Wen Jianing chuckled, “You should put hot water first.”

　　The water slowly became hot, and only then Lu Jinlang pointed the nozzle at Tongtong’s body and washed him up and down carefully.

　　Wen Jianing saw the mist start to disperse in the bathroom, so he stepped back and went back to the room to turn on the computer. He habitually browsed the entertainment news, and found an inconspicuous piece of news on the website mentioning that he took the boy to the supermarket.

　　He clicked in and saw two very clear photos. Although he was wearing sunglasses, his delicate and delicate facial contours could be recognized at a glance. One of the photos was of him holding Tongtong into the car. Tongtong was looking around, his face was very clear.

　　The news was a short sentence, only mentioning that he showed up with an unidentified little boy and behaved intimately. It seemed that he was deliberately guiding in an ambiguous direction, but after all, Ke Xinhang was still very young, and no one would think that he had such a big illegitimate child.

　　After he saw that there was no important news for a while, Wen Jianing heard the sound of water from the bathroom stop as he closed the browser.

　　Lu Jinlang wrapped Tongtong in a bath towel, guided him directly into the guest room and put him on the bed.

　　The boy pulled the quilt over himself and covered himself.

　　Lu Jinlang suddenly remembered a question. He asked Wen Jianing who came over, “Did my second brother come over with his clothes?”

　　Wen Jianing was taken aback and shook his head.

　　Lu Jinlang felt a little helpless. He went back to the room to find his mobile phone and called Lu Jinxin.

　　Wen Jianing walked over to help Tongtong pull up the quilt.

　　Tongtong lay flat on the bed in a very upright posture, and said to Wen Jianing, “Can you tell me a story?”

　　Wen Jianing touched his head lightly, “What story?” He had never had the experience of telling a story to a child, and he couldn’t remember anything for a while, so he could only ask him, “What story does your father usually tell you?”

　　Tongtong said, “Snow White versus Seven Dwarfs.”

　　Wen Jianing was shocked, “What! How can he tell you that?”

　　Tongtong was stunned by him and looked at him blankly.

　　Lu Jinlang just hung up the phone and walked in and said, “His father usually talks nonsense with him. Don’t be nervous.”

　　Wen Jianing reacted in an instant and thought that Lu Jinxin would not be so careless. He should have misunderstood him, but he couldn’t help being curious. He asked Tong Tong, “What did he say?”

　　Tongtong looked at the ceiling for a moment, and said, “There is a princess whose skin is as white as snow. She went to the forest and met a dwarf who was cutting her with a knife. She kicked the dwarf away…”

　　”Okay,” Wen Jianing interrupted him by touching his face, “Be a good boy, tomorrow I will buy a storybook and come back to tell you a story. Don’t listen to your dad’s nonsense in the future.”

　　Tongtong gave a soft “um” and closed his eyes.

　　Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang turned off the lights and went out.

　　Wen Jianing stood in the corridor. He saw Lu Jinlang laughing and couldn’t help but say, “What are you laughing at?”

　　Lu Jinlang put his hands in his pockets and stared at him, with a smile still in his eyes, “What’s the story of Snow White versus the Seven Dwarfs?”

　　Wen Jianing really misunderstood, he was glad that he didn’t ask some strange questions in front of Tongtong.

　　Lu Jinlang took a step forward and pinned Wen Jianing almost against the wall. Lu Jinlang put one hand next to his head, leaned in his ear and whispered, “Would you like to make a film of Ke Xinhang versus Lu Jinlang?”

　　Wen Jianing asked, “Are you gonna direct it?”

　　Lu Jinlang already held his waist with one hand, and said, “No, I’m the lead.” After he said that, he kissed Wen Jianing’s lips.

       When Wen Jianing woke up the next morning, Lu Jinlang was still asleep. He drank too much last night and slept deeply on his pillow.

　　He reached out and touched Lu Jinlang’s hair. Wen Jianing buried his head in his hair and kissed the side of his face before getting up from the bed.

　　He came down from the second floor and went into the kitchen. Suddenly he wanted to prepare breakfast for Lu Jinlang so that Lu Jinlang could have something to eat after he woke up.

       As for cooking, Wen Jianing didn’t say that he couldn’t do it at all. But it was true that he was not good at it. He put on an apron, poured oil into the pot to prepare an omelette, and suddenly heard the doorbell rang outside.

　　He took the spatula and went out to open the door, and saw that the person standing outside turned out to be Lu Jinxin.

　　Actually, this scene was a bit familiar. Lu Jinxin looked like he was catching adulterers, but Wen Jianing was very calm and wondered, “What’s the matter with you?”

　　Lu Jinxin said, “Is Lu Jinlang here? He kept turning off the phone when I called him.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “He hasn’t gotten up yet.”

　　Lu Jinxin pushed him aside, entered the door and ran upstairs.

　　When Wen Jianing wanted to catch up, he suddenly remembered that the fire in the kitchen hadn’t been turned off. So he hurriedly went to turn off the fire, and then ran up to the second floor.

　　Lu Jinlang was awakened by Lu Jinxin at this time. He drank too much wine yesterday and came back to make a mess of Wen Jianing for a while. Now he was not awake yet. He sat on the bed with his naked body, reached out his hand and rubbed his head, and asked in a stuffy voice, “What are you doing here early in the morning?”

　　When Lu Jinxin looked at him like this, he suddenly got angry, grabbed the clothes next to him and threw them on him, “Get your clothes ready and go down with me.”

　　Lu Jinlang asked him, “Go down to do what?”

　　Lu Jinxin said, “You help me watch Tongtong for a few days.”

　　Lu Jinlang shook his head awkwardly, “Did you bring Tongtong here again?”

　　Lu Jinxin urged him, “Hurry up, Tongtong is still waiting in the car alone!”

　　Wen Jianing walked in upon seeing this.

　　When Lu Jinxin saw him, he pointed his finger at him and said, “What are you doing? Put the spatula down!”

　　Wen Jianing felt nervous, put the spatula aside, and said to Lu Jinxin, “I’ll go down with you and take Tongtong first. He drank too much last night, and he hasn’t sobered up yet.”

　　Lu Jinxin hesitated. He looked back and saw that Lu Jinlang hadn’t put on his clothes yet. Then he thought of his son who was locked in the car by himself, so he said to Wen Jianing, “Go!”

　　He took Wen Jianing to pick up Tongtong. He didn’t ask Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang what was going on. Whether the two of them were getting back together or not, Lu Jinxin was not in the mood to investigate them. His own life was still a mess these days.

　　Wen Jianing asked him, “You secretly brought your son out again?”

　　Lu Jinxin walked forward and said with a cold face, “That woman wants to take her son directly out of the country. I don’t want him to harass my mother and elder brother and sister in law. She can’t find Tongtong at the third child’s side.”

　　Wen Jianing couldn’t help asking, “How long are you going to let the child hide?”

　　”It won’t be for long,” Lu Jinxin said. “When the court decides and she dares to approach Tongtong in the future, I will call the police directly.”

　　Wen Jianing wanted to say that even if the court granted the child’s custody to him, it was impossible to forbid a mother’s visit to her son, but seeing Lu Jinxin’s irritable appearance, he didn’t say anything.

　　Lu Jinxin opened the car door and carried Tongtong down. Tongtong first grasped the back of the chair and refused to get down, but when he turned around and saw Wen Jianing, he suddenly changed his mind and stretched out his hand to let Wen Jianing carry him.

　　Wen Jianing held the boy in his arms.

　　Lu Jinxin reached out his hand and wiped his son’s nose. After a moment of silence, he said to Wen Jianing, “Thank you, help me watch him for two days.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I will take care of him.”

　　Lu Jinxin got into the car and couldn’t help but say to Wen Jianing before closing the door, “What are you doing with Lu Jinlang?”

　　Wen Jianing told him with certainty this time, “We are together.”

　　”Together?” Lu Jinxin inevitably took a sarcastic tone when he heard him.

　　Wen Jianing said calmly, “At least it’s more serious than between you and your wife.”

　　Lu Jinxin couldn’t find anything to say at the moment. He could have said that he still at least had a son. Can they have one? But now it had come to this way, even he had to secretly bring the son to hide him. It didn’t seem to be something to be proud of.

　　He raised his hand and then started the car, and said, “Whatever you say.”

　　Since he didn’t believe they would work out, he let time be the judge. Just like when he married his wife, he never thought that there would be today.

　　When Lu Jinxin left, Wen Jianing took Tongtong back to the room on the second floor. He saw Lu Jinlang lying down and sleeping again. He didn’t know how much Lu Jinlang heard of Lu Jinxin just now.

　　Wen Jianing closed the door and said to Tongtong, “Have you had breakfast?”

　　Tongtong shook his head.

　　Wen Jianing then said, “Then I will make breakfast for you, and then we’ll go out, okay?”

　　Tongtong replied, “Okay.”

　　He fried three eggs in the end, one for each of them, and the one for Lu Jinlang was put on a plate with a bowl and put on the dining table.

　　Wen Jianing originally told Ke Xinfan yesterday that he would go to see him at night, but because of yesterday’s dinner party, he could not go there. The first thing to do this morning was to see Ke Xinfan in the hospital, and he took Tongtong along the way.

　　When he arrived at the hospital, Ke Xinfan was having breakfast, and his body had gradually recovered and he was able to get out of bed and walk around slowly.

　　When he saw Wen Jianing show up with a little boy, Ke Xinfan said, “You didn’t come here last night. Did you give birth to a son?”

　　Wen Jianing knew that he liked to say something bad to stimulate him, so he didn’t respond, just asked how he was recovering.

　　”Not bad,” Ke Xinfan said while moving his shoulder a bit.

　　Wen Jianing sat down by the bed and said to him, “When you are discharged from the hospital, I will go with you to sweep the grave for our parents.”

　　Ke Xinfan glanced at him, “You sure? I thought you didn’t acknowledge me as your own brother, let alone your parents.”

　　In fact, by going back with Ke Xinfan, one thing Wen Jianing might have to face was that Ke Xinfan discovered that he didn’t know anything about Ke Xinhang in the past. But as long as he didn’t admit it, Ke Xinfan could not even imagine that a soul has been changed in his brother’s shell even if he were to break his head.

　　He didn’t know what Ke Xinfan planned, but he could feel that Ke Xinfan still cared for Ke Xinhang. He hoped to use this feeling as a weight to let Ke Xinfan completely dispel the idea of using his body as a threat to him.

　　When Wen Jianing talked to Ke Xinfan, Tongtong always looked at Ke Xinfan with his big eyes open.

　　Ke Xinfan was watched by him for a long time and said impatiently, “What’s your son doing staring at me?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “He is not my son.”

　　Ke Xinfan suddenly stretched out his hand to Tongtong and said, “Come here and let uncle have a look.”

　　When Tongtong heard what he said, he actually walked over to Ke Xinfan.

　　Ke Xinfan raised his hand and touched his head, then squeezed his face and smiled at him.

　　They came out of the hospital, and Wen Jianing drove Tongtong to a big supermarket on the road. He was wearing a cap and sunglasses. He carried Tongtong out of the car and held his hand as he walked into the supermarket. In fact, this did not stop people from recognising him, but on the contrary, this kind of outfit always stood out, but one advantage was that when someone asked him if he was Ke Xinhang, he could just tell them that he was not, because no one would have to take off his glasses to see.

　　Wen Jianing took Tongtong to the supermarket and called Lu Jinlang at the same time.

　　Lu Jinlang was finally awake at this time. When Wen Jianing called and asked him what he was doing, he said, “Eating your love eggs.”

　　Wen Jianing smiled and asked, “Is it delicious?”

　　Lu Jinlang suggested, “I think it can be fried a little tender.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I’ll fry it like that next time. What would you like to eat at noon? I’m shopping in the supermarket now.”

　　Lu Jinlang chuckled and asked him, “Who’s cooking”

　　Wen Jianing smiled and said, “Of course you.”

　　Lu Jinlang then said, “Buy whatever you want. I can cook anything with what you bought.”

　　The phone hung up, Wen Jianing squatted down to help Tongtong tidy up his collar, and said to him, “Just go get whatever you want, okay?”

　　Tongtong nodded.

　　When he came out of the supermarket, he put two plastic bags in the car first and then carried Tongtong to the car.

　　On the opposite street, a paparazzi was secretly taking pictures with a camera. Wen Jianing noticed it but didn’t pay attention to them. After they got into the car, he helped Tongtong fasten his belt completely before slowly starting the car.

　　At noon, Tongtong was watching TV on the sofa outside, while Lu Jinlang was cooking in the kitchen, and Wen Jianing was next to him.

　　He seemed to have no energy and his hair was dishevelled. He asked lazily, “When did Tongtong come?”

　　Wen Jianing cut the vegetables clumsily. He stared at the plate carefully and said, “Don’t you know your brother came this morning?”

　　”I know,” Lu Jinlang yawned, “But I don’t know he brought Tongtong here.”

　　In fact, Lu Jinxin clearly mentioned it to him, but he was so dazed at that time and didn’t remember what Lu Jinxin said.

　　Wen Jianing stopped, looked up and said, “It’s still because of the divorce. Once two people have no feelings left, they can do anything even if they have to tear each other’s faces off.”

　　Lu Jinlang walked over and hugged him from behind, covering his left hand with his left hand, and holding his right hand with his right hand to hold the kitchen knife firmly, correcting his movements, and said, “My second sister in law is the one who started first. She already had someone out there for a long time.”

　　”Your second brother is not innocent either,” Wen Jianing said.

　　Lu Jinlang didn’t refute, he held Wen Jianing’s hand and cut the potatoes into shreds with him, and finally said, “So, let him suffer by himself.”

　　Wen Jianing agreed with him, “I just pity the child.”

　　Lu Jinlang let go of his hand, changed his position to hug him, kissed him on the ear, and said, “Come home with me someday.”

　　”Huh?” Wen Jianing stopped and turned his head slightly.

　　”Are you afraid?” Lu Jinlang asked him.

　　Wen Jianing said, “I’m not afraid.” By now, he really didn’t feel scared.

　　Lu Jinlang smiled, “Don’t be afraid, before that, I will go to my mother to confess.” He said that, after a short pause, he added, “But my mother is not scary. My second brother is also fierce but weak. The most frightening one is my eldest brother.”

　　Wen Jianing asked, “Is your eldest brother Lu Jinfeng?”

　　Lu Jinlang “Huh?” He gulped, “Do you know him?”

　　Wen Jianing smiled and said, “Of course I have heard that. In fact, I’ve always guessed whether he has something to do with being your brother.”

　　Of the three brothers of the Lu family, the eldest was in politics, the second was in business, and the third was someone famous in the entertainment industry. Now Wen Jianing had a clear picture of Lu Jinlang’s family background.

　　Although Lu Jinxin looked fierce, his own life was in a mess. At best, he would just say a few harsh words to Lu Jinlang on the surface, and he wouldn’t really interfere. But Lu Jinfeng was different. Lu Jinfeng was a stereotypical and serious man who brought Lu Jinlang up since he was a child, and he certainly wouldn’t easily agree with the relationship between Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing.

　　Lu Jinlang didn’t worry about anyone else, he was just worried that his elder brother would come forward to stop him. He hugged Wen Jianing tightly and said, “It’s okay, I won’t let you be wronged.”

       Actually, Wen Jianing and Jian Jun were not invited to dinner.

       The investor’s name was Wang Wenzhong, and he was Zhao Qin’s uncle. Zhao Qin entered the crew through Ji Mingcheng, and Ji Mingcheng directly asked the assistant director to give her a role. Lu Jinlang only personally interviewed the protagonist’s candidates. For other less important roles were left up to the assistant director in charge of casting, and he was not too sure about any of them.

　　Of course, Ji Mingcheng had no choice. In order to increase investment, he sometimes had to make some small compromises. However, the female role in this play was not important, and there were only a few scenes. Whether Zhao Qin’s acting skills were good or not, it wouldn’t influence the movie greatly

　　Wang Wenzhong was asked by Zhao Qin to invite Lu Jinlang to dinner.

　　Zhao Qin had been on the crew for such a long time and could see that Lu Jinlang was the one who had the final say in the crew. It was useless to ask the producer or screenwriter. She deliberately wanted to add some scenes for herself. She tried to approach Lu Jinlang but it didn’t work well, so she moved her uncle out.

　　Wang Wenzhong came to invite Lu Jinlang to dinner, and as one of the biggest investors behind the movie, Lu Jinlang also had to socialize. However, he didn’t want to go to dinner with them alone. So Ji Mingcheng was also brought in, and he called Wen Jianing and Jian Jun along the way.

　　The meal was arranged by Wang Wenzhong. He originally only planned to invite Lu Jinlang only. When he saw so many people, he was afraid that he could not handle it alone, so he hurriedly called two young people to accompany him for a drink.

　　The group of people sat down, and Wang Wenzhong arranged Zhao Qin next to Lu Jinlang.

       Zhao Qin was innocent-looking, but only her face was innocent. She dangled in front of Lu Jinlang and hoped that Lu Jinlang could look at her. She didn’t care about being an unspoken rules, she just wanted more scenes.

　　So as soon as she got on the table, she deliberately leaned against Lu Jinlang.

　　Wen Jianing sat opposite Lu Jinlang and saw that Zhao Qin’s chest was sticking to Lu Jinlang’s arm.

　　Lu Jinlang looked calm, as if he didn’t realize anything. When someone offered him a toast, he picked it up and drank.

　　This kind of meal was actually not very interesting. It was just a crisscross of wine. You drink to me and I drink to you, complimenting each other and saying some nice things.

　　Wen Jianing had experience in socializing. He could only rely on drinking anyway, but Jian Jun who sat next to him was not used to it. He drank honestly when others toasted him.

       Later, Wen Jianing couldn’t see it and helped him block two glasses of wine, and then asked the waiter to pour him a cup of hot tea.

       Jian Jun’s eyes were somewhat blank, and when he saw Wen Jianing’s white and slender fingers put the tea cup in front of him and put it down. He stretched out his hand in a daze and grabbed Wen Jianing’s hand.

　　Wen Jianing looked at him strangely, “What’s the matter?”

　　Jian Jun suddenly came to his senses, let go of his hand and shook his head.

　　Wen Jianing still placed his hands on the table, he raised his head and looked at Lu Jinlang on the opposite side.

　　Wang Wenzhong and Zhao Qin were targeting Lu Jinlang today, and Lu Jinlang had already drunk a lot. Although his expression did not change, Wen Jianing could see that he was a little drunk.

　　The person next to him handed him a cigarette, he took it, and Zhao Qin quickly took a lighter to help him light the cigarette, and he did not refuse.

　　Lu Jinlang didn’t smoke very much. He was similar to Wen Jianing. He only smokes when he was either upset or drunk.

　　Zhao Qin asked the waiter to pour a cup of tea and handed it to Lu Jinlang for him to drink.

　　Before Lu Jinlang reached out to pick up the cup, Wen Jianing appeared between the two of them, shaking his mobile phone in front of Lu Jinlang, “Manager Bai is looking for you.”

　　Lu Jinlang raised his head to look at him, stood up and took the phone in one hand and walked outside, Wen Jianing followed.

　　There was no voice on the phone, but Lu Jinlang still said, “Shengzhe?” as he walked to the bathroom.

　　After they entered the bathroom, Lu Jinlang threw the phone back to Wen Jianing, turned on the faucet and soaked his face with cold water.

　　Wen Jianing reached out and pulled a piece of paper towel to Lu Jinlang, and said, “It’s almost done.”

　　Lu Jinlang took a paper towel to wipe off the water on his face.

　　Suddenly, Wen Jianing heard the sound of people vomiting from a cubicle in the bathroom.

　　Lu Jinlang obviously heard it too. He turned his head and glanced in that direction, and saw that the innermost compartment door was not closed, and a man threw up next to the toilet.

　　Neither of them should be curious about this kind of thing.

　　However, Wen Jianing frowned slightly when he saw Lu Jinlang looking at the man’s back, so he stepped forward to take a closer look. Then he saw at a glance the man’s back and it turned out to be Wen Lin.

　　Wen Jianing rushed over to help people up, and said, “Wen Lin? Why are you…?”

　　Wen Lin was startled at first, and then relaxed after seeing Wen Jianing. He choked uncomfortably, and said, “Xinhang?” He turned around and saw Lu Jinlang, and then said, “You are all here.”

　　Lu Jinlang went out and asked the waiter for a bottle of mineral water.

　　After washing his face with cold water next to the sink, Wen Lin rinsed his mouth with water. He stretched out his forehead, which was wet with water, and said, “I’m fine, thank you.”

　　”Where is Zhu Zexin?” Wen Jianing asked, “I’ll call him to pick you up.”

　　Wen Lin shook his head, “He will come back later, I have not finished my meal yet, so I have to go back and continue.”

　　Wen Jianing stopped him, “Do they force you to drink?”

　　”No,” Wen Lin denied, “I just came out to gather with friends from the crew.”

　　Wen Jianing always thinks that his face is not pretty, “Then why do you drink so much?”

　　Wen Lin smiled reluctantly, “I’m fine.” Then he walked outside, “I’ll go back first, otherwise they will look for me. Don’t worry about me.”

　　As he watched Wen Lin leave, Wen Jianing was a little confused for a moment as to what had happened.

　　Lu Jinlang stood behind him, suddenly put a hand on his shoulder, and said, “Wen Lin said he took the role before?”

　　Wen Jianing recalled that Wen Lin asked his opinion at that time and mentioned that it was a movie with a dark theme after all.

　　Lu Jinlang patted him on the shoulder, “Let’s go back first.”

　　They sat back at the dinner table, everyone was drunk. Lu Jinlang went to wash and sobered up his face with cold water. Zhao Qin handed him a glass of water, but he politely refused.

　　Wen Jianing was still thinking about Wen Lin. It was not convenient for him to let Lu Jinlang accompany him to see Wen Lin. So he called Jian Jun to join him. They were all brothers of the same company. There was nothing wrong with visiting each other.

　　Jian Jun still didn’t know what happened, but Wen Jianing asked him to go and he followed.

　　They found Wen Lin and the others in the private room, Wen Jianing pushed the door in, and found that, as Wen Lin said, they were just a crew member who came out to party, and there was no accompaniment or entertainment. On the contrary, Wen Lin seemed to be drinking to drown his sorrows with his head buried and didn’t talk much.

　　As soon as Wen Jianing and Jian Jun entered, the crew here stood up and greeted him. Knowing the relationship between him and Wen Lin, they made sure to make Wen Jianing have a drink before letting him go. When he left, Wen Jianing saw Zhu Zexin coming to pick up Wen Lin, so he gave Zhu Zexin some instructions and didn’t interfere any more.

　　But he had made up his mind that he would take time to visit Wenlin’s set these two days.

　　Back in the private room, he saw Zhao Qin was helping Lu Jinlang up and said, “I’ll take you back.”

　　Wang Wenzhong also hurriedly said, “Just in time, let Zhao Qin send you. She didn’t drink too much.”

　　Lu Jinlang turned his head and saw Wen Jianing and Jian Jun coming in. He smiled and rejected Wang Wenzhong and Zhao Qin, and said, “No, my assistant is already waiting for me in the parking lot.”

　　Zhao Qin said, “I will help you over.”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “How can I ask for a girl’s help?”

　　Wen Jianing stepped forward and said, “Let us help.”

　　He and Jian Jun alone supported Lu Jinlang, and Ji Mingcheng also quickly got up to say goodbye.

　　Zhao Qin had no choice but to follow all the way to the parking lot. She saw that Lu Yunan was already waiting there in the car, and Lu Jinlang had no intention of inviting her in the car, so she had to give up.

　　Wen Jianing helped Lu Jinlang get into the car and saw Jian Jun standing beside the car in a daze, he said to him, “Come on, Ting jie just called and asked me to take you on the way back after dinner.”

　　The so-called “on the way back” meant that he was borrowing Lu Jinlang’s car to take Jian Jun back.

　　Jian Jun hesitated for a moment, and then got into Lu Jinlang’s nanny car.

　　Lu Yunan saw that Lu Jinlang was a little unsteady, and asked, “Why do you drink so much?”

　　Lu Jinlang looked calm, “Someone is watching anyway, don’t worry.”

　　He dared to let down his guard and drink because Wen Jianing was by his side and would not allow him to get drunk and unconscious and then be taken away by others. Otherwise, Zhao Qin would throw him on the bed, stripped off his clothes and said that he forced her to bed tomorrow morning, and he really wouldn’t be able to argue.

　　Wen Jianing didn’t speak, he was still thinking about Wen Lin’s appearance tonight.

　　Lu Jinlang raised his hand and rubbed the soft hair on the back of Wen Jianing’s neck.

　　Jian Jun suddenly felt embarrassed, but in the narrow space, he could only turn his gaze away, and there was no way to avoid it. He seemed to have a strange deviation in understanding Wen Jianing’s gender. Of course he didn’t think Wen Jianing looked like a woman, but he always felt that the other person was different from himself, and also different from the men he had met in the past.

　　Lu Jinlang said at this moment, “Let’s have a day off tomorrow.”

　　Wen Jianing and Jian Jun both looked at him, and Lu Jinlang said, “Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will give you two days off. Take a break and do whatever you want.”

　　Wen Jianing took a deep breath and shook Lu Jinlang’s hand.

　　After they dropped Jian Jun home, there were only two of them left in the back compartment.

　　Lu Jinlang buried his head on Wen Jianing’s shoulder, hugged him and let him sit on himself.

　　Wen Jianing clasped his fingers, and suddenly said, “Zhao Qin has a purpose for this meal today?”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled stiffly, “Did you see her put a drug in the water cup?”

　　Wen Jianing couldn’t help turning his head slightly, “Did you see it? If I don’t stop you, are you just going to drink it?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “There are so many people there, what can she do as a young girl? If she gives me drugs, I will just go back and fvck you up!”

　　Wen Jianing felt silly, “fvck me up?”

　　Lu Jinlang reached out and pinched his jaw, forcing him to turn his head, “fvck you until dry in bed, and let no one will see you.”

　　At this time, Lu Yunan knocked on the partition and asked where Lu Jinlang went back in the evening.

　　Lu Jinlang looked at Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Jianing said, “Let’s go to the Beiao garden.”

　　Lu Yunan drove them there and left.

　　Lu Jinlang sat on the big sofa in the living room on the first floor and sighed, “You really like this house?”

　　Wen Jianing went to the kitchen to pour water for him. “What’s the problem?”

　　Lu Jinlang shook his head. In fact, he had a lot of questions, but he didn’t intend to ask.

　　When Wen Jianing poured the water out and handed the glass to Lu Jinlang, Lu Jinlang grabbed his wrist, turned over and pinned him on the sofa.

　　”The water!” Wen Jianing wailed about the water cup knocked over by Lu Jinlang.

　　”It doesn’t matter,” Lu Jinlang said softly, and kissed Jianing’s lips.

　　Wen Jianing had to put the water cup aside, raised his hand and hugged Lu Jinlang, and his fingers sinking into his hair.

　　He knew that now there was an atmosphere of love between Lu Jinlang and him. It was precisely because they have lost and regained it. It became especially beautiful.

　　Lu Jinlang rubbed his lips with his finger and asked, “Are you planning to take the time to visit Wen Lin’s set?”

　　Wen Jianing nodded, “I want to see what his situation is now.”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “It is not convenient for me to accompany you.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I understand, I will handle this myself.”
