       Wen Lin and Yi nan were both drunk, and Wen Jianing was lazy to send them home one by one. So they all settled in the guest room. No one thought the house was terrible at this time. They were already drunk and couldn’t tell where they were.

       After settling everyone down, Wen Jianing packed up his things on the balcony on the second floor. After he finished half of it, he felt tired and lay down on the balcony to feel the wind blowing.

       When there were a lot of people talking and laughing, he didn’t have much to think about. Once he was left alone, he couldn’t help but think about a lot of things. These messy emotions were simply beyond control, even Wen Jianing who had a new life after living for more than 30 years could not do it.

       But when he returned to the familiar house and familiar surroundings, he began to feel at ease again. At least so far, everything went smoothly.

       While Wen Jianing continued to wait for the company to make further arrangements for him, there was news on the internet that Fang Wei’s film ‘October Fireworks’ was nominated for a well-known foreign film festival.

       ‘October Fireworks’ had not been officially released in China, but it had already signed up to participate in foreign film festivals and had successfully entered the competition.

       The film festival lasted for ten days, and the award ceremony would be held on the last day. Since ‘October Fireworks’ had not yet been broadcasted in China, the audience’s attention to this film was not too great, and the movie’s shortlisting was just brief webpage news.

       But what really sparked the attention of the internet was that at the film festival awards ceremony, Lu Jinlang won the best actor award.

       This was the first time that a Chinese male star had won this award.

       As soon as the news came out, Wen Tinghuan immediately shouted “What the fvck!” and then called Wen Jianing to ask if he knew the news.

       Wen Jianing told her that he also saw it on the internet.

       Wen Jianing only found out the video of Lu Jinlang walking on the red carpet and received the award at the film festival on the internet. He didn’t know the news in advance.

       Lu Jinlang in the camera looks tall and handsome, dressed in a black suit, and looked calm. He expressed his gratitude in fluent English. It was very brief, only mentioning the director and crew, and he didn’t say anything else.

       Wen Jianing found all the video clips of Lu Jinlang that he could find, including the interviews with reporters at the red carpet at the beginning and at the end of the awards ceremony. The man in the camera had been separated from him for less than a month, but the distance between the two people had been greatly increased.

       He had been chasing Lu Jinlang, and when he thought he was getting closer, the distance between them had widened again.

       After watching Lu Jinlang for so many years, did he also feel some sort of admiration?

       In the past two years, Lu Jinlang had become more and more low-profile. His career had developed to such a degree that he no longer needs to rely on maintaining exposure to maintain his popularity. In other words, fame was not important to him, because his status was already unshakable. Usually, whether it was the media or movie fans, there were only very few traces of him that could be captured.

       But this time, Lu Jinlang suddenly made the headlines of entertainment news, and occupied a lot of space.

       The next day, Wen Jianing saw that all the newspaper entertainment pages were about Lu Jinlang, and it was also a popular topic on the internet.

       Lu Jinlang originally had a group of diehard fans, and they were not too young and usually kept a low profile. However, this time everyone was excited. In addition, the young people who didn’t pay much attention to Lu Jinlang in the past suddenly focused their attention on him.

       Someone posted a topic on Weibo, “The Standards of Male Gods”, which quickly became a hot topic. According to the description of the topic creator, the standard of a male god should be like Lu Jinlang, handsome, mature, powerful and had a low profile. He was perfect both in his inside and outward appearance.

       Many netizens who were unwilling to be left out have put forward their own standards of male gods under the topic, and one of them mentioned Ke Xinhang.

       Wen Jianing subconsciously clicked on the comment on that Weibo’s post and saw someone mockingly said: What qualifications does Ke Xinhang have to compare with Lu Jinlang? It was such a low comparison.

       When he saw this comment, Wen Jianing was not angry and found it a bit funny. He knew that if it was changed to Wen Jianing, no one would say that. But it had been more than a year since Wen Jianing died. He had slowly faded out of people’s sight and was replaced by a lot of fresh blood pouring into the entertainment circle.

       In a sense, that comment did reflect the current status gap between him and Lu Jinlang. He was more like an upstart. With the popularity of an idol drama, everyone knew him, but no one would think that he had enough acting skills and ability, or that he could also stand on the stage of world movies like Lu Jinlang and win awards. He was more of a short-lived idol.

       Wen Jianing leaned back on the computer chair and hesitated. He took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Lu Jinlang, saying, “Congratulations.”

       Lu Jinlang quickly replied to him in two words, “Thank you.”

       The conversation was over. Wen Jianing threw the phone aside and closed the current web page.

       Three days later, Wen Jianing received a call from Li Jiazhen, the assistant director of ‘October Fireworks’, inviting him to an internal celebration party.

       In fact, Wen Jianing was purely a minor character in the movie, and there were not many lines. There was no need to invite him to this kind of celebration banquet. To put it bluntly, Fang Wei thought of him highly and of course it was not good for him to refuse.

       But on the way there, he suddenly encountered a traffic jam, and even if he rushed, he was still more than ten minutes late.

       He felt very embarrassed, and he hurriedly apologized as soon as he opened the door of the private room.

       All of the people present here were the main creators of ‘October Fireworks’. The actors invited were only the male and female leading roles and the important supporting roles of the heroine’s father. It was simply not suitable for Wen Jianing to appear here.

       However, the film producer still enthusiastically invited him over to sit down.

       There were two people sitting between Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang. Only after he sat down did he have time to look in the direction of Lu Jinlang, who was also looking at him and smiled at him.

       The relationship between the two of them may or may not be known to the people at the table, but they were not saying anything about it. Although they did not deliberately try to conceal it, it was not a formal relationship that could be put on the table after all.

       Although ‘October Fireworks’ only won the best actor at the film festival, and did not get the best film award, it had made good publicity even when it had not been released in China.

       The producer first stood up with a wine glass and thanked everyone. He was very confident about the box office results when it was officially released in China.

       Everyone stood up and raised their glasses.

       The next topic naturally shifted to the participation in the film festival this time.

       In fact, everyone felt it was quite sudden that Lu Jinlang was suddenly able to win the prize. They were completely caught off guard. The heroine Jin Zhenzhen said that she almost stood up when she heard Lu Jinlang’s name. She was so excited.

       Wen Jianing saw that Lu Jinlang was just smiling as he listened to them talking about it.

       The two people sat at the table, and they basically didn’t communicate. At most, they only looked at each other occasionally, and after a moment they would look away slowly without appearing intentional.

       Halfway through the meal, Wen Jianing stood up with a glass of wine and stood up to toast Lu Jinlang.

       “Congratulations,” he said again.

       Lu Jinlang replied, “Thank you.”

       The two clinked their glasses. Wen Jianing drank it and sat down again.

       Obviously, the people couldn’t seem to control their emotions, and they all seemed a little excited. Compared with Lu Jinlang, he was the calmest one. Everyone came to propose a toast to him. He didn’t refuse one and drank it all.

       After dinner, they moved to a private bar and continued to drink.

       Lu Jinlang seemed to be drinking too much, and he appeared very silent. He sat on the sofa with one hand on his face and didn’t say a word. Only when others were talking to him would he smile slightly and make a listening gesture.

       Wen Jianing sat opposite him, talking to Fang Wei in a low voice.

       Fang Wei asked him, “I heard that Lu Jinlang has plans to invest in movies. Do you know about it?”

       Wen Jianing shook his head, “I don’t know.”

       Fang Wei didn’t ask whether he really didn’t know or was just faking ignorance. He smiled and said, “He talked to me and said he was interested in investing by himself.”

       Wen Jianing couldn’t help looking up to Lu Jinlang’s direction, only to find that Lu Jinlang was looking at him.

       Lu Jinlang’s eyes were a little unfocused, presumably because he was drunk. His collar button was wide open, his lips glistened. He noticed that Wen Jianing was looking at him, and he didn’t look away.

       Wen Jianing said to Fang Wei slowly, “It’s very good. Now the film makes money.”

       In one night, Wen Jianing drank beer, red wine, and foreign wine. In addition to being a little drunk, Wen Jianing felt his lower abdomen was bulging and stood up and went to the bathroom.

       The restrooms here only have a single chamber. When he closed the door and stretched out his hand to buckle the door, he suddenly felt that the door handle was turned vigorously from the outside. Then Lu Jinlang pushed the door open and broke in, and then reached out to lock the door.

       Wen Jianing was pushed by Lu Jinlang and leaned against the cold ceramic tiles on the wall. Lu Jinlang stepped forward and hugged him by the waist and kissed him hard.

       He did not resist, but his memory overlapped inexplicably with the first time he was stuck in the bathroom by Lu Jinlang and was played by him. At that time, he drank too much and was unable to resist, but this time it was Lu Jinlang who was drunk.

       In fact, at that time, he felt that Lu Jinlang was mostly just toying with him.

       He hugged Lu Jinlang’s shoulders and felt Lu Jinlang’s fierce kisses fall on his neck and front neck, His clothes were loosely pulled apart, and Lu Jinlang’s warm palms touched his smooth skin.

       Wen Jianing felt that his body temperature was rising rapidly, until he felt Lu Jinlang pull away his pants, he reached out and grabbed his hands, panting and asking, “Didn’t we break up?”

       Lu Jinlang breathed heavily, he raised Wen Jianing’s leg around his waist with one hand, and pinched his chin with the other hand, rubbing his lips with his thumb repeatedly, pressing his forehead against his forehead, and said, “Who said we are breaking up? Me? Did I say we are breaking up?”

       Wen Jianing suddenly felt that alcohol could really make someone a mess. He felt Lu Jinlang’s warm breath with alcohol tap his nose, and his body became more aroused. He said, “I’ve moved away. So what now?”

       Lu Jinlang asked him, “And you’re willing to do that?”

       Wen Jianing was a little puzzled, he raised his eyes to look at Lu Jinlang’s eyes, but they were too close, and he couldn’t see anything.

       Between his words, Lu Jinlang lightly pecked his lips, and the hand holding his chin slid down, slipping from the hem into his clothes.

       Wen Jianing held back a comfortable groan.

       Lu Jinlang continued, “I haven’t given you the male lead role that I promised. Do you think it’s a good idea for you to break up like this?”

       Wen Jianing smiled suddenly, and he said, “You are the financier, and you can do whatever you want. I have no say in this.”

       Lu Jinlang put his head on Wen Jianing’s shoulder, at an angle that Wen Jianing could not see, his eyes were somewhat hollow. He said, “Well, I never like to owe others, and I will not end things unclearly. I’ll definitely give you what I promised at the beginning.”

       Wen Jianing looked at Lu Jinlang’s shoulder in front of him and suddenly wanted to open his mouth and bite down hard, but when he really bit it, he lightened his strength. He said, “Okay, I’ll wait.”

       Lu Jinlang lowered his head and smiled. He unzipped Wen Jianing’s pants, and put his hands in.

       Wen Jianing knew that the bathroom door had been locked by Lu Jinlang, but he still glanced in that direction subconsciously.

       Lu Jinlang’s palm wandered on the inside of his smooth thighs, and then slowly grasped Wen Jianing’s d1ck between his legs. He didn’t caress too much, but gently rubbed the top with his thumb.

       Wen Jianing felt pleasure crawling up his back along his spine, and there was a layer of goose bumps on the back of his neck. He felt that he was really a lustful animal. At this moment, he still slightly moved forward and asked Lu Jinlang for a kiss.

       So Lu Jinlang kissed his lips, teasingly, first lightly licked his lower lip, and then covered it and sucked hard.

       Wen Jianing gasped, not daring to moan, he straightened his waist and urged Lu Jinlang, “Hurry up.”

       Lu Jinlang was not in a hurry. He unzipped his trousers and released his already erect d1ck, but he first touched and held Wen Jianing’s d1ck.

       Wen Jianing looked down and couldn’t help laughing at himself.

       Lu Jinlang grabbed Wen Jianing’s hand and let him hold his own d1ck, and then asked him, “What are you laughing at?”

       Wen Jianing shook his head, stroked the big hard d1ck in his hand and rubbed it a few times, then he stood up again, and he said, “Come on, I want it too.”

       They relieved each other’s desire with their hands. For a moment, their breath was burning, and even the mirror in the bathroom was covered with a thin layer of mist.

       Wen Jianing could no longer hold it, the thin liquid came out from his semi-hard d1ck. While in his hand Lu Jinlang’s d1ck was still hard, and he didn’t stop moving while Lu Jinlang repeatedly kissed him on the cheek and neck, panting heavily.

       Later, when Lu Jinlang cum on his hand, Wen Jianing even closed his eyes somewhat tiredly.

       The two separated, looked at each other and waited until their breathing calmed down.

       When Lu Jinlang washed his hands and zipped his pants, he heard a knock on the door outside. Someone asked, “Is someone there?

       Wen Jianing had straightened his pants and was buttoning his collar, where Lu Jinlang had sucked him an obvious hickey.

       Lu Jinlang opened the door calmly and walked out.

       The person standing outside was Li Jiazhen. He was already a little dazed from drinking. At this moment, he sobered up with a jolt from head to toe.

       Lu Jinlang nodded and left.

       Wen Jianing also washed his hands, his cheeks flushed, and said to Li Jiazhen, “I’m sorry, I’ll be finished soon.”

       Li Jiazhen hurriedly said, “Don’t be in a hurry, I’ll just go over there.” He walked two steps forward, and suddenly realized that it was a women’s toilet, and stopped again.

       At this time, Wen Jianing had come out of the bathroom and moved his wrist, which had been pinched red by Lu Jinlang, towards the private room. He felt that Lu Jinlang did drink a lot, otherwise he wouldn’t be so rough. It was just that Wen Jianing couldn’t make a careful distinction if the words spoken were Lu Jinlang’s true feelings or just a drunk person’s words.

　　The matter of finding someone to clean up Wen Jianing’s old house was entrusted to Wen Tinghuan.

　　He stayed temporarily at Wen Lin’s place for two days. He had nothing to tidy up. He just dragged his luggage to his room and took out his daily necessities.

　　When he opened the suitcase, Wen Jianing saw the little bears at a glance. He picked them up, looked at them, and put them back in the suitcase.

　　That night, Wen Jianing changed into pyjamas after taking a shower and sat in the living room with Wen Lin to drink beer.

　　Wen Jianing liked to get along with Wen Lin, just as Wen Lin liked to stay with Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Lin took out his guitar and sang while playing. Wen Jianing sat on the ground with his back against the sofa, holding a beer bottle in his hand and listening to him sing.

　　Wen Jianing felt that if Wen Lin was born more than ten years earlier, he might be able to develop very well in music. However, the current market doomed him to have no way to just focus on singing, unless there was a strong support behind him.

　　As he thought of this, Wen Jianing inevitably thought of Ke Xinhang. If Ke Xinhang were still alive, he would probably be as emotional as Wen Lin. He felt that Ke Xinhang was full of ambitions and talents that couldn’t be displayed. With Ke Xinhang’s personality, he might not be as sociable as Wen Lin, because of his sensitivity and low self-esteem. In order to distance himself from others, he wrapped his whole body with thorns so that it was not easy to get close to him.

　　Wen Lin’s song styles were mostly warm and relaxed tunes. As Wen Jianing listened, he leaned his head on the sofa, and slowly closed his eyes.

　　And at this time, Lu Jinlang had just returned to his empty home.

　　The room was very clean. Although Wen Jianing still had something to take away, Lu Jinlang could barely find traces of him in the place.

　　Lu Jinlang sat by the bed, called Lu Yunan and told him to come and pick him up tomorrow. He planned to move back to the villa and wouldn’t come to stay for the time being.

　　Wen Jianing drank a little too much that night. He did not go back to the room later and fell asleep directly on the sofa. Wen Lin took a blanket to cover him.

　　The next morning, Wen Jianing and Wen Lin both went to the company, and Zheng Xin called them back for a short meeting.

　　It was mainly to arrange the next phase of work for a few people.

　　Yi Nan and Wen Lin were about to prepare for the promotion of the TV series, and in the meantime, they would definitely attend many entertainment programs and publicity activities. On Wen Jianing’s side, some commercial activities had invited him, but they were still in the negotiation stage. However, his commercial shooting schedule was still temporarily vacant.

　　”There are already arrangements for the next movie,” Zheng Xin said to him.

　　Wen Jianing was a little strange, “What kind of arrangement?”

　　Zheng Xin spread his hands, “I really don’t know this time. Manager Bai said that there is a movie, but he didn’t know exactly what movie it is.”

　　When he heard this vague answer, Wen Jianing immediately thought of Lu Jinlang. It would only be Lu Jinlang who could make arrangements for him through Bai Shengzhe.

　　Zheng Xin said, “Trust the boss. The company has always been very good to you.”

　　It was a sentence that was difficult to say in front of Yi Nan and Wen Lin, but Zheng Xin had been an agent for so many years. Unless you had a very strong relationship, this was really the first time he had seen an agency that was so considerate of artists.

　　Zheng Xin knew about Yi Nan’s backup. But Ke Xinhang? All he could think of was his relationship with Lu Jinlang.

　　When Zheng Xin spoke to Wen Jianing alone, he asked, “I heard that you broke up with Lu Jinlang?”

　　Wen Jianing smiled bitterly, “You are too well informed.”

　　Zheng Xin said, “Tinghuan doesn’t dare to make any decision about you. As soon as she hears something, she will immediately discuss it with me. What she considers is your next development.”

　　Wen Jianing nodded, “I understand.”

　　Having said this, Zheng Xin suddenly sighed. He said, “It doesn’t matter if you split up, Xinhang, I am very optimistic about your future. Your relationship with Lu Jinlang now is helpful to your career, but when you develop well it will inevitably become a stumbling block.”

　　Unless they were secretive for a lifetime, when the two were together for a long time, they would always have the possibility of being caught by sharp people. It was fine if it was a secretive relationship between a man and a woman. But we were talking about two men, when this scandal was exposed, Zheng Xin was afraid it would have a certain impact on their career.

　　This kind of impact did not matter to Lu Jinlang, but it was terrible for Wen Jianing, who was trying to seek development because he would be regarded as the one who was taking advantage of Lu Jinlang to hype. Lu Jinlang could stay locked at home and didn’t face any media, but Wen Jianing couldn’t do that. He still needs to stand up and explain to the media and fans. He had to bear great pressure from the outside world.

　　However, it was not impossible to solve. The only way was that Wen Jianing could stand in the same position as Lu Jinlang. When he did, he would no longer need to explain anything to the outside world. No matter what his private life was, he didn’t need to explain it to anyone.

　　But obviously, now Wen Jianing didn’t need to think about it so much. He probably wouldn’t face that pressure one day.

　　After leaving the company, Wen Jianing drove to the Beiao Garden.

　　Wen Lin asked to go with him to see the old house of the God Wen. Wen Jianing smiled and said, “Let’s go.”

　　The two people walked into the elevator together. When the door was about to close, Yi Nan suddenly ran over to block the elevator door and asked, “Where are you going?”

　　Wen Lin was about to answer, but Wen Jianing smiled and said, “You and us are not the same team. Why should I tell you?”

　　”Psycho!” Yi Nan was suddenly angry.

　　Wen Jianing did not continue to tease him and said, “Wen Lin is accompanying me to see the house. Do you want to go together?”

　　Yi Nan was taken aback for a moment, and asked, “Wen Jianing’s house?”

　　Wen Jianing nodded.

　　Yi Nan hesitated for a moment and walked into the elevator.

　　Although Zheng Xin didn’t say anything about Wen Jianing buying a house, it had been spread all over the company. The most common view was that he was a fan of Wen Jianing and was a fanatic devotee.

　　Yi Nan heard a young man say, “What movie fan? He must be secretly in love with Wen Jianing, right?”

　　In fact, sometimes it was not easy to draw a clear line between worship and admiration. There were many girls who wanted to marry idols and many girls who were willing to sleep with idols. Whether it was just simple worship or love, they probably haven’t figured it out by themselves.

　　So what about Wen Jianing and Ke Xinhang? Yi Nan couldn’t help thinking about this question. Since Ke Xinhang had strange admiration for Wen Jianing, how could he keep that kind of relationship with Lu Jinlang? He must have known that Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing were always at odds.

　　As his imagination ran wild, Yi Nan suddenly shook his head and thought: It’s none of my business!

　　The house was already cleaned and furnished. So Wen Jianing just had to check what other daily necessities needed to be bought. Wen Tinghuan asked him to sort out a list and she would go buy it for him in the afternoon.

　　The house was not very luxurious, and the decoration style was a little old, but it had soft tones, and an elegant environment.

　　Wen Lin stood in front of the stairs, touched the handrails with his hands, and said, “Wen Jianing’s house.” He unconsciously carries some sort of admiration in his tone.

　　Yi Nan was obviously a bit calmer. He looked around and said to Wen Jianing, “The house is nice, but I heard that Wen Jianing died upstairs at the time?”

　　Wen Jianing came out of the bathroom on the first floor and was typing on his mobile phone. He was sending a message to Wen Tinghuan that he wanted to buy toilet paper. Hearing Yi Nan’s words, he looked up at him and said, “Yes, when I turned off the lights at night and stood on the first floor looking upstairs, I could see a dark figure slowly walking down the stairs.”

　　The room suddenly became quiet, leaving only the sound of Wen Jianing typing on his mobile phone.

　　Wen Lin suddenly let go of the stair handrail and said, “Are you serious?”

　　Wen Jianing raised his head again, seeing that both of them looked stupefied, he said, “Of course it’s a joke.”

　　Wen Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

　　Wen Jianing went up to the second floor to see if there was bedding in the room and if he needed something else, Wen Lin and Yi Nan followed.

　　Then they saw Wen Jianing sitting directly beside the bed.

　　Wen Lin suddenly asked in a low voice, “Are you planning to stay in this room?”

　　This room was the master bedroom. There were traces of large Wen Jianing posters once hung above the bed, and this room contained a bathroom and toilet.

　　Wen Jianing nodded.

　　Wen Lin didn’t know what to say and looked at Yi Nan.

　　Yi Nan couldn’t help but say, “Aren’t you afraid?”

　　”What is there to be afraid of?” Wen Jianing said, “It should be a happy thing to sleep in the same bed with my idol.”

　　Yi Nan’s face was complicated, and after holding back for a long time, he said, “Pervert!”

　　Later, Wen Tinghuan helped Wen Jianing buy all the things he wanted. While Wen Lin and Yi Nan were here, Wen Jianing asked them to help pack up.

　　Wen Lin was reluctant to let Wen Jianing move so soon and asked him, “Why don’t you stay with me for two more days?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I feel I’m bothering you too much. I will move over here as soon as things are ready.”

　　Wen Lin didn’t have the heart to keep him.

　　Instead, Wen Jianing said, “Why don’t you consider moving here? Anyway, I live alone and I won’t charge you rent.”

　　Wen Lin hurriedly said, “How can I be so shameless to do that?”

　　Wen Jianing reached out and touched his face, “We’re all brothers, what’s there to be ashamed of?”

　　To celebrate the move, Wen Jianing invited Wen Lin, Yi Nan and Wen Tinghuan for dinner.

　　There was definitely not enough time to do some cooking, so he directly called to order a takeout hotpot, and then Wen Lin and Wen Tinghuan drove together to a nearby supermarket to buy tableware and beer for the hotpot.

　　That night, four people sat on the balcony on the second floor, eating hotpot and drinking beer. Although the distance between one house and the others was far apart, people living nearby could still hear their laughter from time to time.

　　Later, several people were a little drunk, but Wen Jianing was the most sober one. He stood up and stood on the edge of the balcony railing and looked into the distance.

　　Here he could see the low hills in the distance. The sky had darkened, leaving only patches of black shadows on those low hills.

　　Wen Jianing closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

　　Suddenly, he heard the rapid sound of the doorbell.

　　Wen Jianing took a look at Wen Tinghuan, who drank too much and was pulling Yi nan to tell corny jokes, and Wen Lin, who was listening while supporting his face with his hands. So he went down and opened the door alone.

　　When he opened the door, Wen Jianing saw that the person standing outside turned out to be Guan Xiaotian.

　　At that moment, Wen Jianing could not tell what Guan Xiaotian’s expression meant, but after seeing that the person opening the door was Wen Jianing, Guan Xiaotian’s face instantly became sullen, and he said, “What the hell are you doing here in Jianing’s?”

　　”Xiaotian?” Wen Jianing realized that he was out of his mind after saying these two words. As he saw Guan Xiaotian in this environment, he seemed to feel that he really went back to the past, but he soon woke up, and said, “What’s the matter?”

　　Guan Xiaotian frowned and said, “Did you buy Jianing’s house?”

　　Wen Jianing nodded, “Yes.”

　　Guan Xiaotian said, “I don’t know for what purpose you bought Jianing’s house, but can you respect him a little bit?”

　　Wen Jianing couldn’t help laughing, “Excuse me, may I ask how I have disrespected him?”　　

　　Guan Xiaotian was originally just gone out looking for a friend, and when he left, he deliberately drove around Wen Jianing’s house to take a look, but he saw the light from a distance and heard some noise from the second floor.

　　He was a little confused at the time. He got out of the car and knocked on the door before he even thought about it. However, when he saw the person who opened the door, he became a little angry.

　　Guan Xiaotian said, “This is my good friend’s house! Although the other person is no longer there, I don’t want to see you holding a noisy party in his place!”

　　This was a totally unreasonable accusation. No matter who the house belonged to in the past, now that it had changed its owner, what right did Guan Xiaotian have to prevent others from gathering in their own home? It would be fine if it made the neighbors feel disturbed, but now it was clear that he was saying that because he didn’t like to see it.

　　However, Wen Jianing was not angry, because he knew that Guan Xiaotian’s inexplicable anger was just out of nostalgia for him. He calmly said, “This is my home now.”

　　Guan Xiaotian froze for a moment at his words.

　　Wen Jianing continued, “I miss Mr. Wen very much, but I bought the house not to commemorate Mr. Wen, but to live here. If you think we are noisy, I’ll go up and ask them to keep it down, but it’s my right to hold a party here. Mr. Guan, why are you being so hostile to us?”

　　Guan Xiaotian seemed to have recovered at this time. He put his hands in his pockets, shrugged his shoulders slightly and said, “I’m sorry.”

　　Wen Jianing suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

　　Guan Xiaotian took out a cigarette and handed it to Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Jianing thanked him and refused.

　　Guan Xiaotian lit a cigarette for himself. He stepped back two steps, looked up at the top of this building, and asked Wen Jianing, “Why did you want to buy this place?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “It’s because I like this house.”

　　Guan Xiaotian nodded, “Jianing also likes this house very much. He said that the environment in this neighbourhood is very good and quiet. The balcony on the second floor has a wide view. It is a very comfortable thing to sit there and read the script.”

　　”But he is no longer there,” Wen Jianing said.

　　He hadn’t thought about whether some people would one day know his identity. The person he once wanted to tell most was Wen Cuilan, but he resisted it because it was difficult for him to imagine the consequences once Wen Cuilan knew it. Everyone had their own pace of life, and the life that was disrupted by the sudden death of Wen Jianing gradually regained its calm as time passed. He didn’t want to disrupt them again with his own resurrection.

　　But whether anyone would know it or not in the future, he didn’t think Guan Xiaotian will be among them.

　　Guan Xiaotian took a deep breath, took a sip of the cigarette into his mouth, and then said, “I understand.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I’ll go up and ask them to keep their voices down. I’m sorry.”

　　Guan Xiaotian shook his head, “No, I’m sorry to have bothered you guys.”　　

　　He saw that Guan Xiaotian had not left, Wen Jianing hesitated whether to invite him in for a seat. At this moment, he suddenly heard Guan Xiaotian ask, “Are you still with Lu Jinlang?”

　　This question really stunned Wen Jianing, because in any case, Guan Xiaotian shouldn’t ask him such a private question.

　　Wen Jianing looked at Guan Xiaotian and didn’t answer. He wanted to let Guan Xiaotian know that he was not willing to answer this question.

　　However, Guan Xiaotian’s original purpose didn’t seem to get the answer. He just said, “You have probably heard of the relationship between Jianing and Lu Jinlang. I hope you will at least exercise some restraint here.”

　　Exercise some restraint? Wen Jianing kept thinking about the meaning of Guan Xiaotian’s words. Did he mean he should not mess around with Lu Jinlang in Wen Jianing’s house?

　　After saying this, Guan Xiaotian raised his hand to indicate that he was leaving.

　　Wen Jianing nodded, “Take care.”

　　Wen Jianing just kept watching Guan Xiaotian as he got into the car and left. Wen Jianing was still thinking about his words in his head, and suddenly couldn’t help but laugh. He thought that if he really died at that time, he would be very angry to know that one day Lu Jinlang was fooling around with a strange man on his bed in his house.

　　He would probably show up in the middle of the night and scare them to death!

　　With this in mind, Wen Jianing felt slightly relieved.

The author has something to say:
Three days have passed since the seven-day holiday!
If I didn’t read the comments, I would have forgotten the place name of Bei’ao Garden…

Notes:
I know Guan Xiaotian is doing that because he really values his friendship with Wen Jianing but, he really doesn’t have to act that way (◔_◔)
So close yet so far to finally drop new chapters…….

       Wen Jianing went to the villa where he used to live with Wen Cuilan. Instead of driving, the two walked over slowly. This was somewhat a well established high-end villa area, and Wen Jianing had lived here for many years and never thought of moving.

       The trees, flowers and plants in the neighbourhood had been growing for many years, and this short one or two years would not change anything. It was as if everything was the same as when he left.

       Walking past the area like this accompanied by his mother, made Wen Jianing felt in a daze. He couldn’t tell whether he was living in the present or in the past.

　　Wen Cuilan always said that she regretted that she spent too little time with Wen Jianing in the end. But Wen Jianing didn’t think so. After remarrying, Wen Cuilan obviously lived happier, and he himself was too busy. When Wen Cuilan stayed with him, she was alone at home most of the time. If he could choose, he still hoped that his mother could live with the people she loved and lived a happier life.

　　When they arrived in front of Wen Jianing’s villa, the two stopped.

　　The exterior wall did not look desolate because of the property being taken care of. But it might be because no one lived for so many years, the house inside looked very dark from the window.

　　When he opened the door and went in, Wen Jianing smelled a cold and stale smell rushing to his face. The furniture in the house had not been moved and was covered with a layer of white cloth.

　　Wen Cuilan couldn’t hold back her tears.

　　”Have a look,” she said to Wen Jianing.

　　In fact, there was nothing for him to see. Wen Jianing was too informed about this home. He heard Wen Cuilan next to him say, “After Jianing left, this place has remained untouched in its original state. I don’t know if you like these furniture, I can ask someone to move it if you don’t like it.”

　　Wen Jianing walked to the middle of the living room and reached out to touch the TV cabinet. A photo of him was originally displayed here, but it was no longer there. He raised his head and looked at the stairs leading to the second floor. At the corner, the poster that he attached was gone.

　　The cabinets and drawers were empty. Wen Cuilan had cleaned them all up.

　　Wen Jianing walked up to the second floor and saw the empty big bed in his bedroom. There were no longer plants on the balcony on the second floor, but from here, everything was still the same as before.

　　He turned his head and said to Wen Cuilan, who followed him, “Mrs. Wen, sell me the house. You don’t have to move the furniture. Please keep all the furniture. I like it here very much, and I will also take good care of this house. You are welcome to come back and have a look at it at any time.”

　　Perhaps it was his last sentence that touched Wen Cuilan. Wen Cuilan’s eyes were red, she said to Wen Jianing, “You call me Aunt Wen. I’m also very happy that it’s a child like you who bought a house. As I said, the price isn’t an issue. I just hope you’re buying the house for pure purposes.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I bought it to live on my own.”

　　Wen Cuilan nodded when she heard the words, she said, “That’s good, I hope so.”

　　In the end, Wen Cuilan offered a price of 15 million yuan. This price was actually already cheap, considering the location of the villa. But when it comes to the value of the house, it was not easy to say the same. This was the former residence of big movie star Wen Jianing. If someone pursued it, of course it should be of higher value, but at the same time, this was also the place where Wen Jianing died suddenly. According to Chinese philosophy, his death was an unnatural death, which was considered very unlucky, so people who wanted to buy would hesitate.

　　The entertainment industry was a superstitious circle. Wen Jianing was probably the only one who would buy the house here without any qualm.

　　But 15 million was still too much for him. He couldn’t come up with so much money at a time.

　　After some consideration, Wen Cuilan promised that he could move in first and handle the ownership transfer after paying the rent.

　　Wen Jianing hesitated. He went to discuss with Wen Tinghuan to see if he could take out a loan to pay for the house all at once. Wen Tinghuan disagreed and said to him, “Why don’t you go and borrow some from the company?”

　　 “It’s not appropriate,” Wen Jianing said, asking for a loan from a company was equivalent to asking Lu Jinlang for a loan, which he didn’t think was appropriate.

　　 In fact, Lu Jinlang had already talked to him, but given his current relationship with Lu Jinlang, even if he really asked Lu Jinlang to borrow money, Lu Jinlang would also suffer. To put it bluntly, no matter what Wen Jianing said about the relationship between them, he still hoped to be on an equal footing with Lu Jinlang as much as possible in his heart.

　　 The fact that he bought back Wen Jianing’s old house was quickly caught by the keen media, or maybe the media was already paying attention to this matter since Wen Cuilan released the news that the house was for sale.

　　 He did not immediately tell Lu Jinlang about the purchase. Lu Jinlang knew about the news nearly a week later. He was eating at Lu’s house that day when he flipped through a gossip magazine that his mother threw on the sofa and saw it.

　　 He sat on the sofa and flipped through the magazine. His six-year-old nephew ran over and lay on his lap and asked, “Third Uncle, what are you looking at?”

　　 This child was Lu Jinxin’s son, Tongtong.

　　 Lu Jinxin was divorcing his wife, but his wife was unwilling. So did the elderly in the Lu family, so he dragged it down for a while. There was no way to solve it for a while. When they eat at home, Lu Jinxin’s wife would still show up with her son.

　　 Lu Jinlang didn’t answer him.

　　 Instead, Lu Jinxin was intrigued by his son’s words. He walked over and saw the magazine in Lu Jinlang’s hand. He took it and asked Lu Jinlang, “Did you buy it for him?”

　　 Lu Jinlang shook his head.

　　 When he returned home after dinner, Lu Jinlang opened the door and heard Wen Jianing rummaging in the bedroom.

　　 He had some wine in the evening and walked over to the bedroom door and asked, “Packing up to move?”

　　 Wen Jianing was stunned. He was just rummaging through the wardrobe for an attire that he planned to wear to the company tomorrow. After searching for it for a long time, he didn’t find it. He had to free up a lot of things in the cabinet and put it on the bed, but he didn’t expect Lu Jinlang to ask such a question.

　　 Is he planning to move? He himself did not know. He and Lu Jinlang got along well and did not quarrel about the values. No matter what their position for this relationship was, it was strange to say he wanted to move out for no reason.

　　 But Lu Jinlang asked this, he probably had been waiting for him to move.

　　 Wen Jianing turned to face Lu Jinlang. He said, “I have already discussed this with Ms. Wen, and she promised to sell me the house.”

　　 Lu Jinlang took off his coat as he walked into the room, “I see, I saw it in the magazine.”

　　 After a short silence, Wen Jianing heard Lu Jinlang say, “Congratulations on getting what you want.”

　　 He couldn’t tell if Lu Jinlang’s words carried some anger because Lu Jinlang was still as gentle and polite as before. Perhaps Lu Jinlang felt unhappy that he had only learned about the purchase of a house through Gossip Weekly, and Wen Jianing didn’t take the initiative to be the first one to tell him.

　　 Lu Jinlang looked at the clothes on a bed, stretched out his hands and rolled up his sleeves, and asked, “Do you need help?”

　　By now, Wen Jianing was feeling a little confused. He stood there for a while and reached for the suitcase on the top of the cabinet. It was a little higher but he could reach it on tiptoe.

　　 Lu Jinlang walked behind him and reached out to help him take the suitcase.

　　 Wen Jianing smelled the smell of wine on Lu Jinlang, and asked, “Have you been drinking?”

　　 Lu Jinlang said, “I drank a few glasses of red wine with my eldest brother and second brother at home in the evening.”

　　 In fact, he drank a lot.

　　 The two of them took down the suitcase together.

　　 Lu Jinlang said, “I’ll get a towel and wipe it for you.” After that, he went to the bathroom.

　　 As Wen Jianing sat down by the bed, he felt slightly overwhelmed for a while. But then he began to fold his clothes one by one.

　　 In fact, it was only because of Lu Jinlang’s invitation that he moved in together. It seemed that there was no guarantee or commitment.  Now that he wanted to move, Lu Jinlang also let him move. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with that.

　　 Lu Jinlang knelt on the ground to help Wen Jianing clean up the suitcase and then opened it to help him put his clothes in one by one.

　　 Wen Jianing suddenly had an unexplainable feeling, as if everything was just going well at first then one day, Lu Jinlang suddenly said he didn’t like him. He then really impatiently urged him to leave without lessening the impact at all. Although he had already made psychological preparations, he just didn’t expect that this day would come so soon.

　　 He had so many clothes that he couldn’t fit in one suitcase.

　　 “Just pack this much first.” Lu Jinlang said, “You can come back later for the other stuff. Don’t worry.”

　　 “Can we talk?” Wen Jianing said.

　　 Lu Jinlang looked at him, “What do you want to say?”

　　 Wen Jianing sat down by the bed, “Do you want to end it with me?”

　　 Lu Jinlang did not immediately answer.

　　 “Jinlang,” Wen Jianing called his name softly, “Am I a second Yan Ruowei to you?”

　　 Lu Jinlang smiled gently at his words, “You are Ke Xinhang, not some other person.”

　　 Wen Jianing said, “That’s probably what you said to Yan Ruowei as well.”

　　 Lu Jinlang didn’t refute. He might had said something similar to Yan Ruowei, but he couldn’t remember it clearly.

　　 “Forget it,” Wen Jianing said. He once vowed that he would not become the second Yan Ruowei, so why bother with Lu Jinlang now.

　　Lu Jinlang looked at him and suddenly came over to crush him on the bed and kissed his lips heavily.

　　The intense kiss seemed to harbour some anxiety and unspeakable emotion. Lu Jinlang settled his leg between Wen Jianing’s two legs, and with one hand pulled his pants.

　　 Wen Jianing hugged him and responded to him, not mincing his enthusiasm in the slightest.

　　 They kissed, hugged, and moved relentlessly.

　　 At the last moment, Lu Jinlang slowed down, without hurting Wen Jianing.

　　 Wen Jianing felt a little insatiable. It seemed that there was no more legitimate and reasonable emotional entanglement between them other than making love. Since they originally came for this, they might as well do it once and for all.

　　 When Wen Jianing woke up in bed feeling sore the next morning, he opened his eyes and saw a pair of little bears which Lu Jinlang brought back to him at Xu Rujing’s wedding placed on the cabinet not far away. Since it belonged to him, he better take it away with him.

　　 In the morning, Wen Jianing called Wen Tinghuan and asked her to pick him up by car.

　　 Lu Jinlang said he had to leave in the morning and didn’t stay to see him off.

　　 When she was helping Wen Jianing carry things into the car, Wen Tinghuan said, “You guys are so efficient, he’s just waiting for you to buy the house so he can kick you out immediately, right?”

　　 “I don’t think so,” said Wen Jianing.

　　 Wen Tinghuan sighed, “You are moving away, but he won’t even show his face.”

　　 Wen Jianing shook his head and said that he did not want to comment on it. He said, “Find a place for me to stay for two days first.”

　　 Wen Tinghuan said strangely, “Weren’t you given all the keys to Wen Jianing’s house already?”

　　 Wen Jianing said reluctantly, “For such a big house, I have to find someone to clean it first, and then prepare some necessary daily necessities. How can it be possible to move in immediately?”

　　 Wen Tinghuan looked at him, “Lu Jinlang drove you out, huh?” Wen Tinghuan thought it was Wen Jianing who wanted to move. But seeing the house there was still not cleaned up, it seemed that it was really a sudden decision.

　　 Wen Jianing didn’t want to answer this question. He planned to stay in the hotel for two days.

　　 Wen Tinghuan said, “Forget it, I’ll find you a place to stay for a few days that can promise not to kick you out.”

　　 Wen Jianing asked, “Where is it?”

　　 Wen Tinghuan said, “Wen Lin’s place.”

　　 Wen Jianing was surprised when he heard that. His first reaction was to refuse because he felt inconvenient, but he didn’t dare to be too nervous. He just said, “It’s not good. Wenlin’s side of the place is too small. I’m going to give him too much trouble if I go over there.”

　　 “No worries,” Wen Tinghuan said, “The company helped him to re-rent a two-bedroom house. He now lives alone in a spacious house, and it is a house rented by the company. You don’t have to feel embarrassed.”

　　 Wen Jianing suddenly asked, “Why doesn’t the company rent me a house?”

　　 Wen Tinghuan said, “You already have a house, and it’s the mansion of Film Emperor Lu. It’s a good house that the company can’t even afford to rent. Wen Lin’s old house is going to be demolished, do you want to steal this place from him?”

　　 Wen Jianing hadn’t been to the company for a long time since he injured his leg, and he didn’t have the opportunity to chat with Wen Lin. He didn’t even know Wen Lin’s current situation.

　　 Wen Tinghuan said, “I’ll call Wen Lin. He will definitely welcome you openly, so don’t worry about it.”

　　 If there was one bedroom for one person, he could lock the door when he took a bath and went to the toilet. Wen Jianing thought it was not a big problem to live there for two days. So he didn’t immediately stop Wen Tinghuan from contacting Wen Lin.

　　 Let’s just go and check it out, he thought to himself.

　　 Wen Lin was really pleased with Wen Jianing’s temporary two days stay. He wished he could drive to pick him up in person.

　　 “Mr. Popular,” Wen Tinghuan sighed with emotion evaluating Wen Jianing’s popularity.

　　 Wen Lin and Yi Nan’s historical game adaptations had been filmed. They were now in post-production, and ready to start the promotion. Wen Lin was not busy these days and wrote songs at home when he was free.

　　 Wen Jianing saw that Wen Lin’s new home was simple and tidy, and neatly organized.

　　 He said, “It’s very good.”

　　 Wen Lin was a little embarrassed. “I don’t dare to buy too many things for the rented house. I also want to buy my own house.”

　　 It seemed that everyone already knew about Wen Jianing’s house purchase.

　　 There was a vacant bedroom in Wen Lin’s place, and the lock of the bathroom door was also intact. He only needed to lock it from the inside to ensure privacy. Wen Jianing saw that Wen Lin’s character was pure, he was not too curious, and his personality was also gentle.

　　 “Just for two days,” he said to Wen Lin.

　　 Wen Lin smiled and said, “You are welcome to stay for as long as you want.”

　　The moment the plane slowly landed on the runway, Wen Jianing felt as if his heart had trembled along with it.

　　When he was pushed out of the airport in a wheelchair, he was discovered by accident by a few reporters. Wen Jianing, who was wearing sunglasses and a mask, did not say anything under the reporter’s questioning. Wen Tinghuan helped him out, saying that he broke his leg at the shooting scene and was feeling uncomfortable. Then she pushed Wen Jianing away in a hurry.

　　Wen Jianing thought that fortunately, he didn’t come back with Lu Jinlang by plane.

　　The company sent a car to pick them up. After getting in the car, Wen Tinghuan asked Wen Jianing, “Are you going to back there?”

　　Wen Jianing said strangely, “Where else would I go? I asked you to help me look at the house, but I haven’t heard any news after so long. Could it be that I still have to go to sleep on the road?”

　　Wen Tinghuan said, “Just go back. It’s not like I can intervene with your business.”

　　Lu Jinlang’s flight was later than his, and Lu Jinlang hadn’t arrived when Wen Jianing returned home.

　　Wen Tinghuan left after making sure that he was all right alone.

　　After that Wen Jianing sat in a wheelchair and quietly stayed in the living room for more than an hour without doing anything until Lu Jinlang opened the door and came back.

　　Lu Yunan came in with Lu Jinlang.

　　Lu Jinlang looked at Wen Jianing strangely, “What are you doing? Why are you daydreaming here?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I’m trying to figure out how the hell I’m going to get through this month of rest and recuperation.”

　　Lu Jinlang came over and reached out to take him to the sofa. Wen Jianing stood up quickly, jumped over to sit down next to the sofa, and said, “I can go there on my own.”

　　”Let’s read a book and watch a movie,” Lu Jinlang sat down beside him and said, “I’ll find some movies. Let’s watch it together.”

　　Wen Jianing reached out and grabbed his hand, smiled and said, “Okay.”

　　Lu Jinlang really went to find a lot of movies, both domestic and foreign movies. When both of them have nothing to do, they would sit on the couch and watch movies and they will carefully discuss the filming techniques and skills.

　　That night, halfway through a somewhat drowsy movie, Wen Jianing reached out and touched Lu Jinlang’s thigh.

　　Lu Jinlang smiled and put his hand on the back of his hand, and said, “What do you want to do?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “How long since the last time we did it?”

　　Lu Jinlang shook his hand and said, “How can you think about this even when your legs are still limping?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “My lower body is not controlled by my legs.”

　　Lu Jinlang stood up with him in his arms and said, “Then let’s go to bed.”

　　Wen Jianing really hadn’t done anything with Lu Jinlang for a long time. The last time Lu Jinlang came to see him was because he broke his leg and both of them didn’t do anything. This time they came back for a few days, and just slept under the quilt every day. To be honest, he missed the happy feeling of making out with Lu Jinlang.

　　However, Lu Jinlang was concerned about his knee injury. After that, he hugged Wen Jianing in his arms and fell asleep.

　　The next day early in the morning, Wen Jianing was still burying himself in Lu Jinlang’s chest and was awakened by Wen Tinghuan’s phone call.

　　Wen Jianing answered the phone and heard Wen Tinghuan say, “I have looked for several apartments to show you in the past few days. Are you free today? Let’s go and have a look together.”

　　Wen Jianing couldn’t help taking a look at Lu Jinlang. Lu Jinlang was also awakened by the phone call and was looking at him at this time. The two were too close. Wen Jianing was not sure if Lu Jinlang heard what Wen Tinghuan said on the phone, but he still said to Wen Tinghuan, “Okay, you can come and pick me up.”

　　”Going out?” When he hung up, Lu Jinlang asked him.

　　Wen Jianing nodded, “I have something to do with Ting jie.”

　　Lu Jinlang didn’t ask anything. He opened his quilt and got up. He said, “I’ll put water on you and take a bath.”

　　Wen Jianing had no problem walking, but Lu Jinlang always reminded him of the doctor’s instructions and asked him to walk less.

　　He limped to the bathroom and took a shower. When he came out, Lu Jinlang was frying eggs in the kitchen.

　　Wen Jianing suddenly said, “I want to eat noodles.”

　　Lu Jinlang originally planned to fry eggs and toast. When he heard Wen Jianing say so, he changed to noodles and spread the fried eggs on top for him.

　　Wen Jianing put a chopstick into his mouth, and exclaimed, “It’s delicious.”

　　In the morning, Wen Tinghuan drove to pick him up to see the place.

　　Wen Tinghuan had been optimistic about these properties before, and along the way introduced him to the general situation of the properties and surrounding facilities, and then contacted the sales lady and the agent, one by one, there are a total of four houses to choose from.

　　The limping Wen Jianing followed Wen Tinghuan to finish touring the four places in one go, but he was not very satisfied.

　　Two people were eating out at noon, Wen Tinghuan said, “The place you live in with King Lu is so good. Of course you don’t like these houses. But buy one first to prepare. Now there are several advertisements in the company that are talking about wanting to shoot with you. At that time, when you already have a large income, I suggest you buy a villa in the suburbs.”

　　Speaking of villas, Wen Jianing suddenly remembered something, “Ting jie, do you know Wen Jianing’s villa?”

　　”Huh?” Wen Tinghuan put the vegetables in her mouth, chewed them up and swallowed, and then said, “The one that Wen Jianing had an accident in? Of course I know that.”

　　Wen Jianing asked, “What about now? Has it been sold?”

　　Wen Tinghuan was astonished when she heard the words, “I really don’t know about this. If you want to know, I will ask it for you. Why? Do you still want to buy that villa?”

　　Wen Jianing didn’t admit it directly, but said, “I’m just asking.”

　　Wen Tinghuan said, “I don’t know if it’s for sale, his family probably isn’t short of that money. But even if the house is sold, no one would dare to buy it, right? After all, a person has died, who dares to buy and live there?”

　　Wen Jianing felt a little complicated, and said to Wen Tinghuan, “Just ask it for me.”

　　After touring all four houses, he couldn’t make up his mind.

　　When he got home that day, Wen Jianing opened the door and saw Lu Jinlang sleeping on the sofa with a book on his chest.

　　Wen Jianing walked over and gently picked up the book and found that it was a professional book related to directing.

　　Lu Jinlang was awakened by his actions, opened his eyes to look at him, and asked, “You’re back?”

　　Wen Jianing looked at the book and asked him, “Why? Do you want to try to be a director?”

　　Lu Jinlang sat up and said with a smile, “Yes, I have this idea.”

　　”What kind of movie do you plan to make?” Wen Jianing asked.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “I’m still thinking about it.”

　　That night, when Lu Jinlang was surfing the internet with his tablet in the living room, he saw the entertainment gossip next to him that Ke Xinhang was limping around looking at apartments and attached a photo of him and Wen Tinghuan walking out of a building together.

　　Before Wen Jianing came out of the shower, Lu Jinlang closed the website, and he didn’t ask anything afterwards.

　　Two days later, Wen Jianing received a call from Wen Tinghuan, saying that she had asked someone. Wen Jianing’s old villa has not yet been sold, but now Wen Cuilan seemed to be planning to sell it. After all, it had been so long since there was someone there, and she had no other relatives in this city now.

　　After selling the house, she would probably go back to Canada with her husband and would never come back.

　　Wen Jianing held the phone for a while and asked Wen Tinghuan, “How much is she bidding?”

　　Wen Tinghuan was surprised, “Are you kidding me? Are you really going to buy it?”

　　Wen Jianing went on to say, “Can you ask Ms. Wen to come out to talk about it?”

　　Wen Tinghuan still couldn’t believe it, “Although I know you are a big fan of Wen Jianing, but after all, Wen Jianing died in that house.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “It’s not like he died because of a murder.”

　　”But still, it was an abnormal death,” Wen Tinghuan said. “It’s quite horrifying when you think about it.”

　　Wen Jianing said to her, “Anyway, go ahead and ask around for me. If possible, I would like to meet with Ms. Wen and have a careful discussion.”

　　Wen Tinghuan had no choice but to accept his request.

　　In fact, in the beginning, Wen Jianing didn’t have this idea, but now, he suddenly wanted to buy the house again, which had a lot of memories about Wen Jianing.

　　With this in mind, Wen Jianing began to search the internet for information about his old house to see if he could find any news and then found comprehensive news about the celebrity real estate, which mentioned his house. It was said that since Wen Jianing’s sudden death, the house had been vacant, and now it looked gloomy and terrible from the outside.

　　The photo attached also deliberately circled a window on the second floor, indicating that it was the bedroom where Wen Jianing died suddenly.

　　”Do you want to buy it?” Suddenly, Lu Jinlang’s voice can be heard behind him.

　　Wen Jianing was startled and turned around to see Lu Jinlang standing behind looking at his computer screen.

　　The browser was full of web links related to the search for Wen Jianing’s old house, and Lu Jinlang understood it very clearly as soon as he opened it.

　　Wen Jianing did not deny it. He said, “I want to buy it.”

　　Lu Jinlang’s expression was difficult to understand, “Why?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I told you, he’s my idol.”

　　Lu Jinlang sat down in the chair beside him, “You are able to go to this extent for an idol?”

　　Wen Jianing shrugged, “There are also people who jumped off the building for idols. I’m just buying a house. What’s the problem?”

　　”And then?” Lu Jinlang asked, “Do you plan to move there after you buy it?”

　　Wen Jianing was taken aback when he heard his question. He didn’t expect Lu Jinlang to ask so directly.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Did you hear me when I was talking to my second brother in the ward that day?”

　　Wen Jianing raised his head to look at him.

　　Lu Jinlang’s attitude is still very gentle, he said, “So is that why you are in a hurry to move?”

　　Wen Jianing did not answer him.

　　Lu Jinlang reached out and took one of his hands, put it to his mouth and kissed it, “Fool, it’s unnecessary. Don’t you remember that I promised you something and haven’t given it to you? You are willing to sleep with me for nothing, eh?”

　　Wen Jianing gently held Lu Jinlang’s hand, “What can I do if I slept with you? Who told you not to talk to me about the conditions and sign the contract before we slept together.”

　　Lu Jinlang laughed, “I feel very sad when you say that. I always thought you enjoyed having sex with me.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I do enjoy it, but I also have the professional ethics of being a little pet.”

　　Lu Jinlang reached out and touched his hair.

　　Wen Jianing raised his head and rubbed his cheek against the palm of his hand. Lu Jinlang’s palm was warm and dry, with a temperature that made him greedy.

　　”Is there enough money?” Lu Jinlang asked him.

　　Wen Jianing gave a soft “Hm?”, and then realized that he was talking about the house, so he said, “I haven’t contacted the seller yet.”

　　Lu Jinlang said to him, “If you need anything, mention it to me.”

　　Wen Jianing nodded.

　　Lu Jinlang turned his head to look at the screen, “But I don’t approve of you buying this house.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Because Wen Jianing once died there?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “He stopped abruptly at the peak of his career, and you are still on the rise in your career. Have you ever wondered what kind of public opinion topics will be formed once you buy it?”

　　After a brief silence, Wen Jianing said, “I don’t care about those.”

　　”Think it through,” Lu Jinlang touched his head.

　　Just when Wen Jianing’s knee injury was almost completely recovered and he no longer limped when walking, Wen Tinghuan told him that she had contacted Wen Cuilan. About the house, Wen Cuilan didn’t make an offer and said she wanted to interview the person who wanted to buy a house.

　　This house also has extraordinary significance to Wen Cuilan.

　　Before the time agreed with Wen Cuilan, Lei Xing negotiated with an internationally renowned mobile phone brand, with Wen Jianing as the image endorsement and agreed to shoot a total of three commercials within two years.

　　Lei Xing was also very considerate of Wen Jianing. Ever since the broadcast of ‘The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix’, Wen Jianing became popular. Various brand companies had been in contact with Lei Xing, wanting to talk about advertising endorsements. However, Lei Xing chose the advertisement very carefully, and did not easily help him to receive advertisements, and finally settled on this recently very popular mobile phone brand.

　　After signing the contract, Wen Jianing first shot the first series of the commercials, which took two days.

　　After that, Wen Tinghuan had planned to accompany him to meet Wen Cuilan, but she did not expect Wen Jianing to refuse her company and planned to go there alone.

　　Wen Tinghuan didn’t quite understand what Wen Jianing was obsessed with.

　　The place that was decided to meet Wen Cuilan was a cafe not far from the villa area. When he thought of seeing Wen Cuilan, Wen Jianing couldn’t help feeling a little nervous and excited. He got up early that morning and went out. Lu Jinlang didn’t ask him what he was going to do.

　　Wen Cuilan came a little later, and her husband came with her, but after seeing Wen Jianing who was sitting there alone, she asked her husband to go back first.

　　”Sorry,” Wen Cuilan said politely.

　　Wen Jianing stood up, “Hello, Ms. Wen.”

　　Wen Cuilan looked at him, “Have we met somewhere?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “It was the last time you received the Academy Award for your son, we met in the corridor outside the bathroom.”

　　Wen Cuilan smiled immediately and said, “I remember, you are my son’s fan.”

　　The two then exchange some words.

　　Wen Jianing actually felt a little excited. He really wanted to ask Wen Cuilan, how are you doing? Are you still healthy? Is your husband treating you well? But he couldn’t ask those questions, because it was too abrupt. He could only observe Wen Cuilan carefully and found that she seemed to maintain her past figure, her face was also rosy, her eyes didn’t show grief, only slightly regretful when mentioning the words Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Cuilan was actually doing very well, and Wen Jianing knew it.

　　After returning to the villa, Wen Cuilan was a little surprised, “Actually, I didn’t expect that a young man like you would be willing to buy Jianing’s house.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I told you I like Mr. Wen very much.”

　　Wen Cuilan showed a slight sadness on her face, “He is a very good child. Although we spent less time together during that last part of his life, we still had a strong bond.”

　　”I know,” Wen Jianing said.

　　Wen Cuilan thought he was just being polite to her and did not care, then said, “I did not intend to sell this house at first, but my husband persuaded me to sell it because I might have very little time to come back in the future. It doesn’t matter even if it is vacant, but it is not possible to always hire someone to take care of the house. It is better to transfer to someone in need.”

　　Wen Jianing put his hands on the table, his thumbs touching each other.

　　Wen Cuilan said, “So I don’t intend to make much money from this house. I just hope to sell it to the right person.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I’m going to cherish it.”

　　Wen Cuilan did not say the price, she said, “Let’s go and see the house first.”

       Lu Jinlang sent Wen Jianing to the private hospital he had contacted in advance.        Wen Jianing still looked a little nervous. He was silent and didn’t say a word.        Lu Jinlang said to him, “Don’t worry, I have already told the doctor about your condition.”        Wen Jianing stared at him in bewilderment.        Lu Jinlang reached over his head and said, “I only said you had a physical disability, I didn’t say anything specific, and he wasn’t curious. Don’t worry, he has no interest in the privacy of his patients.”        The surname of the doctor who checked Wen Jianing was Xia, with a given name Yan. He looked somewhat cold and poker faced. 　　Xia Yan didn’t show any curiosity about Wen Jianing’s body, and only because he had an injury on his leg, he asked him to roll up half of his trousers to check the injury on his knee. Then he asked Wen Jianing to take another X-ray, and saw there was no injury to the bone. He said that there should be some damage to the ligament.        Wen Jianing did not drown. He was only worried about the impact of falling into the water and other physical injuries during the fight with the middle-aged man, as well as the cut in his scalp that was slashed by the middle-aged man with his mobile phone. Xia Yan helped him do some detailed examinations, and then said that Wen Jianing should stay in the hospital for observation for two days, and if there was nothing else, they could go back earlier.        Afterwards, Xia Yan said directly to Lu Jinlang, “Mr. Ke may still be a little frightened, let’s inform his family.”        Lu Jinlang thanked him. 　　In fact, Xia Yan was right. Wen Jianing was more or less frightened at that time. The feeling of being held by others to die together was unimaginable. Moreover at that time, he had to bear the fear of being discovered by others. Aside from the urgency to look for Lu Jinlang, his head was completely empty at the time. It was a bit like an instinctive human stress response. 　　As he lay down on the hospital bed, his emotions gradually calmed down. 　　”I’m sorry,” Wen Jianing said to Lu Jinlang who was sitting next to the bed, “I’ve caused you so much trouble.” 　　Lu Jinlang reached out his hand and touched his face, and said, “Nonsense.” 　　Wen Jianing was recuperating in the hospital for two days. At first, Xia Yan came every once in a while to ask about his health. Later, when he saw that there were no major problems, he left with a piece of mind. 　　 During this period, Cao Songquan rushed over to visit him. He sat on the chair beside the bed, and took his hand, “Little brother”. He said, “It’s all big brother’s fault. Big brother is sorry for you.” 　　Wen Jianing couldn’t help but smile. 　　Cao Songquan said, “I wouldn’t dare take you out next time.” 　　Wen Jianing hurriedly said, “No, I’m still waiting for you to take me out to your next movie as well.” 　　Cao Song patted his chest, “I will try to find a script adaptation specifically for you to play next. I promise you, rest assured.” 　　Of course, Wen Jianing couldn’t easily believe his words, but he still looked happy and said, “You better keep your promise.” 　　Cao Songquan then stood outside the ward talking with Lu Jinlang. He hurriedly apologized to Lu Jinlang, “I originally just wanted to take him out to have fun. It’s not usually this chaotic. How could one expect to encounter such a thing?” 　　Lu Jinlang said, “It’s because of his bad luck, Director Cao doesn’t need to blame himself.” 　　”Tsk,” Cao Songquan suddenly sighed, “You didn’t see it at the time. Xiao Ke was really hell-bent to see you. At that moment, no one except you was allowed to touch him. To be honest, I was shocked. Before getting along with him better, I always thought he was a pretty strong and independent character.” 　　Lu Jinlang stood quietly without giving a response. 　　Not long after Cao Songquan left, Li Rong and Wei Lun both asked people to send a bunch of flowers to Wen Jianing, but they didn’t show up in person. 　　In the afternoon, Wen Tinghuan rushed to the hospital in a hurry, and as soon as she entered the ward, she said angrily, “You didn’t inform me when something so big happened? Do you know I’m really caught unprepared today?” 　　Wen Jianing quickly apologized. He really forgot about notifying Wen Tinghuan. 　　Wen Tinghuan felt regretful after yelling. When she saw Wen Jianing’s pale face with injuries, she couldn’t help feeling worried. She sat down by the bed and didn’t know what to say for a while. This was an accident after all, and even though it seemed wrong that Wen Jianing was pulled out by Cao Songquan at night, even if she knew it in advance, she would encourage Wen Jianing to go out to play with Cao Songquan. 　　Cao Songquan was a laid-back person. If he was fond of you, he could say anything to flatter you. Moreover, if he liked you enough, he would keep thinking about giving you a role in his future movies. 　　Lu Jinlang was still in the ward at this time. 　　As soon as Wen Tinghuan came in, she only cared about Wen Jianing. Only now did she remember to say hello to Lu Jinlang. 　　Lu Jinlang was originally sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper. At this time, he stood up and said, “I’m going to go out for a while while you guys talk.” 　　Wen Jianing said, “No, I want to go for a walk.” 　　Lu Jinlang walked to the bed, “How are you planning to go? Don’t you remember that Doctor Xia told you not to walk as much as possible?” 　　Wen Jianing pointed to the wheelchair placed in the corner of the ward, “It’s okay, let Ting jie push me out.” 　　As she heard the words, Wen Tinghuan hurriedly pushed the wheelchair over and said, “I’ll take him out for a change of air, it’s hard for people to lie in bed for a long time.” 　　Wen Jianing lifted the quilt and wanted to move to the wheelchair by himself, but Lu Jinlang leaned forward and reached out to carry him. Then he put a blanket on his lap and handed him his coat, “Don’t let the wind blow it.” 　　Wen Jianing nodded, “I know.” 　　Thus, Wen Tinghuan pushed him out. 　　This was a very high-end local private hospital. Wen Jianing stayed in the VIP ward on the top floor of the hospital. There was a corridor outside the ward, and at the end of the corridor, there was a roof garden across a door. The garden was surrounded and topped by a large panel of glass, which was very transparent to the sun and filled with various plants. 　　At this time, there was no one in the small garden. The only one in the garden was Wen Tinghuan who came slowly with Wen Jianing. 　　Wen Tinghuan complained in a low voice that Wen Jianing didn’t notify her in time, “How can I not be the first one you notify when this kind of thing happened?” 　　Wen Jianing explained, “I was distracted at that time, I really didn’t expect that to happen.” 　　Wen Tinghuan said, “But you thought of telling Lu Jinlang.” 　　Wen Jianing could not refute. 　　Wen Tinghuan sighed and said, “I heard the man was the owner of a small business along the coast. His factory went bankrupt, so he took the money to gamble. As a result, he owed millions to the casino. He couldn’t figure out how to pay it back so jumped into the sea. The man was dead, and they couldn’t save him.” 　　Wen Jianing couldn’t sympathize with a man who tried to pull him to die together for no reason. When he heard that he was dead, he just said, “It’s better to die.” 　　Wen Tinghuan continued, “As for you, the ship gambling side has the responsibility after all. The ship gambling boss has already suppressed it. The media will not hear the news, and they wouldn’t dare to report it if they get the news, and they will give you a certain amount of compensation. I didn’t let them come to you, but let the company directly handle it, so you just have a good rest.” 　　”I’m fine,” Wen Jianing said. “The doctor said that it’s mainly caused by the injury in the knee’s ligament, and the rest is not serious. It’s better to rest for a period of time and reduce activities.” 　　Wen Tinghuan nodded, “It just so happens that the filming here has also ended. Go back and rest for a month, and I won’t arrange work for you.” 　　Wen Jianing said, “Thank you.” 　　”Xinhang,” Wen Tinghuan suddenly called his name, “Actually, I didn’t expect Lu Jinlang to treat you so well.” 　　Wen Jianing did not say anything. 　　Wen Tinghuan seemed to be a little emotional, “I have been in the industry for a long time and I have seen everything. But it’s the first time I’ve seen someone as nice and genuine as he is to you.” 　　Wen Jianing raised his head and looked at the blue sky outside the glass wall. He was a little confused, “How do you know if he is genuine?” 　　Wen Tinghuan said, “I don’t know. I have lived for 30 years and had two relationships, but they have not had any good results. But if I meet someone like Lu Jinlang, I would probably be reluctant to let go.” 　　Wen Jianing felt that he shouldn’t be listening to Wen Tinghuan’s words anymore. He was not sober enough at this moment, as if something was pulling him down, he stretched out his hand and tried to hold the shore to prevent himself from completely falling into the swamp. 　　Wen Tinghuan said again, “Actually, I always wanted to ask you, what exactly did you plan to do? Have you ever thought about finding a woman for a lifetime?” 　　 “Ting jie,” Wen Jianing said softly, “I can’t do it with women.” 　　 Wen Tinghuan was startled, and after a moment of silence, she said, “Then you might as well consider your relationship with Lu Jinlang.” After that, Wen Tinghuan seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to say this. She added, “But you are still young, so you don’t need to rush. Just take your time to see and think clearly.” 　　 Wen Jianing said, “Thank you, Ting jie.” 　　The two of them talked for a bit more, and Wen Tinghuan pushed Wen Jianing back to the ward. 　　The corridor of the top floor ward was covered with thick carpet. The two of them were walking on it, and the sound of footsteps and the sound of the wheelchair rubbing the ground were almost inaudible. When he reached the door of the ward, Wen Jianing noticed that the door was not closed tightly. He raised his hand to push the door, and suddenly heard the sound of someone talking inside. 　　The other voice of the person who was talking seemed to be Lu Jinxin. He said, “Did you know that Ke Xinhang requested that he must see you when he was rescued from the sea?” 　　Lu Jinlang said, “I heard Director Cao mentioned it.” 　　Lu Jinxin snorted coldly, “So you’re still trying to say you guys were just having fun and nothing more.” 　　 “What do you think?” Lu Jinlang asked. 　　Lu Jinxin’s tone was a little unhappy, “Stop saying ridiculous things to me.” 　　Lu Jinlang asked, “Was he frightened then?” 　　Lu Jinxin said, “He was scared, scared silly. He is crying and yelling that he must see you.” 　　Lu Jinlang did not speak. 　　”Jinlang,” Lu Jinxin said, “You are already in your thirties, and you can only have fun for a few years more. Think about it for yourself. When that time comes, Ke Xinhang is not going to give a fvck, and cause you trouble.” 　　Lu Jinlang said, “He won’t do that.” 　　Wen Jianing froze, he still maintained his palm against the door, not moving to listen to Lu Jinlang’s words. 　　Lu Jinlang went on to say, “He sees clearly better than anyone else, and sees better than me.” 　　”What do you mean?” Lu Jinxin asked him. 　　Lu Jinlang’s tone was very calm, “We both know what we want. There is no sincerity between us.” 　　Wen Jianing’s eyes widened in confusion, and he suddenly couldn’t remember when he had heard this phrase before. 　　Lu Jinxin was silent for a while, “Are both of you just putting on an act? Until this far?” 　　Lu Jinlang neither admitted nor denied it, but said, “So you don’t have to worry about it.” 　　Lu Jinxin said to him, “In that case, you should find a woman and get married.” 　　Lu Jinlang said, “So I could be like you, just to give birth to a child and then divorce? Second brother, the kind of marriage without love, haven’t you tasted enough of the bitter fruit yourself?” 　　The two people in the ward were speechless for a while. 　　Wen Jianing raised his head and looked at Wen Tinghuan behind him. Wen Tinghuan didn’t expect to hear these words immediately after saying those good things about Lu Jinlang just now. She felt embarrassed and didn’t know how to react at this time. 　　Taking advantage of the quiet atmosphere inside, Wen Jianing made a knocking motion and showed it to Wen Tinghuan, then turned his wheelchair to back away. 　　Wen Tinghuan came forward and knocked on the door. The door was not closed tightly and opened with a light push. She pretended to have just come back, turned around and pushed Wen Jianing in. 　　Lu Jinlang stood up, “You’re back?” 　　Wen Jianing looked at Lu Jinxin, “Mr. Lu is here?” 　　Lu Jinxin also stood up, still polite, and asked, “Are you all right?” 　　Wen Jianing smiled, “It’s nothing. Thank you Mr. Lu for your concern.” 　　 At this time Wen Tinghuan said to Wen Jianing, “Then I will go back to the hotel first, and then we will go back together.” 　　Wen Jianing nodded, “Take care, Ting jie.” 　　As soon as Wen Tinghuan left, Lu Jinxin also prepared to leave. But he officially came to visit Wen Jianing, and he couldn’t leave immediately. So he stayed and sat on the sofa again. 　　Lu Jinlang reached out and carried Wen Jianing back to the bed. 　　Lu Jinxin watched coldly. 　　Wen Jianing rushed to Lu Jin and smiled, “When are we going back?” 　　Lu Jinlang asked him, “Do you want to go back?” 　　Wen Jianing nodded. 　　Lu Jinlang said, “Let’s go back tomorrow. Doctor Xia will follow us.” 　　Lu Jinxin felt that he might lose his temper if he stayed any longer, so he stood up and said goodbye. 　　Wen Jianing nodded, and said again, “Thank you, Mr. Lu.” 　　They went back by plane the next afternoon. Lu Jinlang didn’t take the same plane as Wen Jianing. 　　Wen Tinghuan accompanied him all the way, and couldn’t help but pay attention to Wen Jianing’s expression. He didn’t seem to be any different from how he usually was, just a little quieter. However, this silence was probably caused by physical discomfort, and he still looked very calm emotionally. 　　Wen Jianing said, “Ting jie, you’ve been glancing at me all the way. Are you falling in love with me?” 　　Wen Tinghuan said, “Who is brave enough to love you?” After she finished speaking, she put her face on one hand and whispered, “I don’t know what else to say, moreover you guys have put an act up until this point. Since both of you know you are not serious, then who is this act for?” 　　Wen Jianing didn’t speak. 　　Wen Tinghuan continued, “It would be better to trace back a little. Put away all the acts and hypocrisy and show some honest feelings.” 　　Wen Jianing felt a little funny at Wen Tinghuan’s exasperation. He asked, “What actually is the honest feeling?” 　　Wen Tinghuan said, “The Lu family is so rich that they can throw tens of millions out to create a blockbuster for you to promote you to the position of a leading actor. 　　Wen Jianing smiled and said, “Go ask Lu Jinxin if I’m worth the Lu family’s tens of millions.” 　　Wen Tinghuan heard his words and couldn’t say what she wanted to say for a while. She reached out and patted Wen Jianing on the shoulder and said, “Forget it. Let’s work hard together.”

       He didn’t have money with him?

       On this occasion, it sounded like a joke.

　　But Wen Jianing’s expression was very calm. He saw people at a table looking at him and he hesitated whether he should stand up and show everyone his shirts and pants pockets. To be precise, he didn’t bring a penny with him. He only had about one thousand yuan with him, and he didn’t bring a credit card either.

　　Li Rong seemed to be smiling but his smile didn’t reach his eyes, with an expression like he was watching a good show.

　　Cao Songquan was just about to open his mouth to help him out, but he didn’t expect Lu Jinxin to say first, “I’ll lend it to you.”

　　As a result, Cao Songquan choked back what he had to say. He was taken aback and suddenly remembered that Lu Jinlang and Lu Jinxin were brothers.

　　In this private room, there were many young and beautiful women with revealing clothes.

　　As soon as Li Rong took out the cigarette, a woman came up to help him light the cigarette.

　　Wen Jianing looked around at the people at the table and said, “Mr. Lu, I’m afraid I can’t afford to pay it back.”

　　Li Rong burst out laughing, “What? You know you’re going to lose before you even start?”

　　Wen Jianing went on to say, “Unless you say you don’t have to pay it back, I would consider it.”

　　Lu Jinxin looked at him coldly. The more cheeky Wen Jianing was, the more he could not bear to see him. It looked like Lu Jinlang was embarrassing the Lu family by raising such a small thing.

　　Cao Songquan felt that he had caused trouble for Wen Jianing. He really didn’t expect things to go that way. The two brothers Lu Jinxin and Lu Jinlang both thrive well in their respective fields. Usually speaking of one would not make one thought of the other. Now, as he saw Lu Jinxin targeting Wen Jianing, Cao Songquan thought that it was bad. This looked like an elder brother who wanted to clean up the little boy raised by the younger brother.

　　He thought he was very obligated to help Wen Jianing, so he cleared his throat and said, “Well, Xiao Ke is here to play with me. He didn’t plan to be on the table, and I didn’t tell him to be on the table. So let’s forget about it tonight and talk about it later when we have the chance.”

　　Lu Jinxin was very polite when dealing with Cao Songquan. He said, “It’s okay Director Cao, it’s not like he’s going to lose.”

　　Li Rong said suddenly, “If you lose and can’t afford to pay, take off your clothes. Take off one piece each time you lose. “

　　Wen Jianing was amused and felt things were ridiculous at the same time. He wanted to say a few words back to Li Rong but thought there was no point in arguing with him, so he simply said to Lu Jinxin, “Hold on a second, I’ll make a call.”

　　In front of everyone, Wen Jianing took out his cell phone and dialled Lu Jinlang directly.

　　Lu Jinlang had just fallen asleep at this time. The phone rang for a while before it was connected, and he answered in a low voice, “Xinhang? Is there anything going on at this late hour?

　　Wen Jianing said, “Jinlang, I am now on the high seas gambling boat, with your second brother and Li Rong.”

　　After a brief silence, Lu Jinlang gave a slight “um” and waited for him to continue.

　　Wen Jianing looked at Lu Jinxin’s expression as he spoke and then said, “Your brother said he wanted to lend me some money to gamble with him. Is that okay with you?”

　　Lu Jinlang laughed at the words and said, “Go ahead.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “But you know, I can’t afford to lose a lot. I don’t have that much money.”

　　Lu Jinlang said to him, “If you lose, it’s on me.”

　　Wen Jianing smiled and said, “You have to talk to your second brother.”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Give him the phone.”

　　Wen Jianing then handed his mobile phone to Lu Jinxin, and  Lu Jinxin answered it with a sullen face. As soon as he held the phone, Lu Jinlang’s first sentence over the phone was, “Second brother, Xinhang’s bill is on me. Go and have fun.”

　　Lu Jinxin said the words at once, “Lu Jinlang, you are sick in the head!” Then he hung up the phone.

　　Wen Jianing suddenly felt better. He said to Lu Jinxin, “First things first, how is the interest calculated?”

　　Lu Jinxin said, “You will not be charged interest.”

　　Wen Jianing smiled and said, “Okay, then let’s play.”

　　They played Baccarat, and Wen Jianing directly borrowed chips from Lu Jinxin. For gambling, Wen Jianing was a very restrained person, and he was not greedy at all.

　　Except for him, the people at this table often come out to play. Lu Jinxin and Li Rong are not gamblers, but they just gamble to pass time. They just play casually with each other and no one was trying to play tricks on the other.

　　Wen Jianing’s luck tonight seemed particularly good. He won three in a row at the beginning.

　　Li Rong didn’t say anything but looked at Lu Jinxin.

　　Lu Jinxin had a cigarette in his mouth, and the expression on his face was very icy.

　　Wen Jianing stood up and pushed the chips borrowed from Lu Jinxin along with the winning chips.

　　”What does this mean?” Lu Jinxin asked.

　　Wen Jianing said, “Including the interest, I won’t take advantage of you.” He moved his stiff shoulders and added, “Now I can go rest, right? You guys take your time and play.”

　　After he said that, Cao Songquan immediately said, “Go ahead.” to help him out.

　　Even if Wen Jianing lost some money, there was Lu Jinlang behind him. So Lu Jinxin himself felt bored and no longer forced him. He buried his head and flicked the soot without saying a word.

　　Wen Jianing then walked straight to the door of the private room, opened the door and walked out.

　　It was already midnight, but the casino hall was still lively, and the entire luxury cruise ship was still brightly lit from a distance.

　　He felt that the smoky air in the private room was too heavy. At this time, he planned to go to the deck to get some fresh air, and then ask the waiter to open a room for him to sleep

　　There was no one on the deck. Perhaps some tourists could be seen earlier, but by this time even the tourists had gone back to their rooms to sleep.

　　Only the gamblers were still awake.

　　Wen Jianing looked at the distance. The sea was completely dark and silent, and there was no wind at all tonight. It was too quiet.

　　He stood alone for more than ten minutes, and then another person came on the deck. He was a tall middle-aged man with a haggard look and a pale face.

　　He saw that the man had been looking down at the dark sea below. Wen Jianing suddenly felt something wrong and subconsciously turned his head to find the staff on the ship.

　　But he didn’t expect that at this time, the man turned his head and asked him, “Are you a celebrity?”

　　Wen Jianing hesitated for a while and said, “I have acted in a TV series. Do you know me?”

　　The middle-aged man smiled, “My daughter likes you very much. The historical drama before.”

　　He spoke a little incoherently, maybe because he drank some wine. A drunk gambler. Wen Jianing didn’t think he had anything to tell him, so he turned around and wanted to walk into the cabin.

　　Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man grabbed his wrist and said, “I have lost everything and I have nothing left.”

　　 “And so?” Wen Jianing looked at him warily and tried to pull his hand out, but he didn’t succeed. The drunk man was stronger than he thought.

　　So? So he didn’t plan to go back today. He wanted to jump down here and finish it all. Just before he jumped into the sea, he suddenly saw the beautiful man next to him and had this cruel idea.

　　The man did not answer Wen Jianing. While pulling him hard, he hugged him with his arms and retreated to the railing on the deck.

　　Wen Jianing guessed what he wanted to do and immediately struggled hard. His strength may not be as strong as that drunk lunatic, but he was a man after all. The lunatic tried for a long time but he couldn’t drag him over.

　　Wen Jianing began to shout loudly, “What are you doing? Let go of me!”

　　During the pulling process, the middle-aged man suddenly raised his foot and hit Wen Jianing’s knee heavily. His old injury was not healed yet, and Wen Jianing’s whole body trembled with pain. At this time, he had been dragged to the edge of the deck.

　　The employees who discovered the commotion on the deck had run out in their direction.

　　Wen Jianing held back the pain and kicked the spaces between the man’s legs. He watched him take a few steps back from the pain. Not wanting to be entangled with him anymore, Wen Jianing dragged his injured leg and ran in the direction of the people passing by.

　　Unexpectedly, the man took out his mobile phone and hit Wen Jianing on the head from behind.

　　Wen Jianing felt dizzy in an instant. The man used all his strength. Before those people rushed over, he carried Wen Jianing up and jumped over the railing into the sea.

　　Wen Jianing could swim. And after they entered the water, the middle-aged man loosened his grip on Wen Jianing. Wen Jianing kicked him away to help him go toward the sea surface.

　　The rescuer moved very quickly. After Wen Jianing got to the surface of the water, someone quickly supported him from behind and dragged him aside.

　　No one in the casino hall knew what happened on the deck, but a staff member immediately notified Cao Songquan. Only a moment after Wen Jianing was rescued on the ship, Cao Songquan arrived and hurried over with Li Rong and Lu Jinxin.

　　Someone took a blanket and wrapped Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Jianing was trembling all over. His hair and clothes were all wet, and the corners of his mouth were black from the fight just now. He looked fragile and pitiful. He clung to the blanket tightly with both hands.

　　Cao Songquan was shocked to see him like this. After all, he was the one who abducted him out in the middle of the night, but he did not expect things to become this way.

　　Li Rong said, “Send him to the hospital.”

　　Wen Jianing raised his head and said, “Where is Lu Jinlang? Can you let Lu Jinlang come over?”

　　Lu Jinxin frowned, “Lu Jinlang will be here in several hours.”

　　Two employees on the ship came to help him, but Wen Jianing found that his knees hurt badly when he moved. He was afraid that these people would help him change his clothes, or he would ask him to take off his clothes and trousers to see if there were any wounds on his body when he arrived at the hospital. He could only hold on to his blanket and said, “I want to see Lu Jinlang, or I’m not going anywhere!”

　　Cao Songquan squatted in front of him worriedly, and asked, “Xiao Ke, what’s the matter?”

　　Wei Lun was more rational, and said, “Anyway, let’s give Lu Jinlang a call first.”

　　Li Rong took out his cell phone to call Lu Jinlang upon hearing this.

　　Lu Jinxin slightly bent over to look at him, “Did you hit your head somewhere?”

　　Wen Jianing didn’t speak. His head was in a mess. He was just thinking if he fainted just now or unfortunately died. He could only lie there and let these people take off his clothes and find the secret of his body; Or if he escaped this time, what would happen if he got hurt and sick in the future?

　　He didn’t dare to imagine, and he suddenly felt that he was so powerless over his ability to handle things.

　　Wen Jianing was finally sent to the shore by speedboat. Cao Songquan was full of guilt and escorted him personally. After landing on the shore, he asked someone to drive him to the hospital.

　　But in the parking lot of the hospital, Wen Jianing refused to get off and insisted on waiting until Lu Jinlang came.

　　Cao Songquan didn’t understand. He knew the kind of relationship between Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang, but he never felt that Wen Jianing’s personality was so difficult. He was a very cheerful young man before.

　　Lu Jinlang came faster than expected.

　　As soon as Cao Songquan saw him, he felt as if the Savior had come and wanted to shout Amitabha*.

　　Lu Jinlang nodded, and there was no time to explain to him in detail. He walked to the door of the car and stretched out his hand to Wen Jianing, “Come.”

　　Wen Jianing immediately reached out and let Lu Jinlang carry him out.

　　Cao Songquan was staring at all this in amazement. It was as if Lu Jinlang had picked up a little wolf cub on the street, and anyone who touched it would be bitten. And now that the master suddenly appeared, the little wolf cub instantly transformed into a puppy, and as soon as he was held, the wolf cub wagged his tail.

　　Wen Jianing hugged Lu Jinlang and said in his ear, “What should I do? I don’t want to be checked.”

　　Lu Jinlang carried him into the car he took when he came. After Wen Jianing got in the car, he found that the driver was Lu Yunan, and Wen Jianing felt relieved for a moment.

　　Cao Songquan came after him.

　　Lu Jinlang thanked Cao Songquan, and then said, “I will take him to the doctor first, and then I will talk to Director Cao.”

　　Cao Songquan didn’t want to delay them, and hurriedly said, “Go, go.”

　　As soon as the door was closed, Lu Yunan immediately started the car.

　　Wen Jianing asked, “Where are we going?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “I have already contacted the doctor to change to another private hospital, so don’t be nervous.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “But…”

　　”Listen,” Lu Jinlang said to him, “You can’t stay healthy or uninjured nor you can not go to the hospital for the rest of your life. What you need is to find a trustworthy doctor, understand?”

　　Wen Jianing subconsciously glanced at Lu Yunan, who was driving in front of him, but Lu Yunan seemed to have not heard of it but did not react at all.

　　He didn’t know what to do. He just felt that Lu Jinlang was right. Now he needs to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.

　　Lu Jinlang reached out and peeled off his blanket. He felt that the clothes inside were still wet. He had maintained this state for about several hours. He was bound to get sick even if he was not ill.

　　So without hesitation, he reached out to help him undress, and then said to Lu Yunan, “Yunan, find a place to buy a set of clean clothes first.”

　　Lu Yunan then stopped the car on the roadside for a while and bought a set of clothes at a very fast speed.

　　Lu Jinlang helped Wen Jianing change his clothes in the car.

　　When he was taking off his pants, Wen Jianing moved to the back of the chair to make sure that he was out of Lu Yunan’s sight, and then asked Lu Jinlang to help him take off his pants.

　　Lu Jinlang then saw that the injury on his knee was red and swollen, and it seemed to be worse than before.

　　Wen Jianing looked at Lu Jinlang and felt that he was finally able to calm down completely at this time, and he said, “Did I look crazy just now?”

　　Lu Jinlang reached out and touched his head. His hair has already been dried by the sea breeze.

　　Wen Jianing said, “I’m lucky to have you.”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “You think of me too highly.”

　　Actually, he didn’t need to be so nervous. He was so nervous that Cao Songquan and others who saw him at the time must feel that something was wrong.

　　Wen Jianing shook his head, “I can’t help it.”

　　He had already thought about it so much before, that for a moment he even thought about finding a place in a foreign country where no one would know him, and die quietly in a vast forest so that no one would ever find his secret.

　　But now as he stayed by Lu Jinlang’s side, he felt his previous thoughts were a bit funny. Why would he be desperate enough to want to die?

　　Lu Jinlang said to him, “The doctor is my friend. I asked him to fly over and contact the private hospital here through his connection. He will check up on you personally. You can go to him if you feel unwell in the future. He is a good doctor who takes his responsibility to his patients seriously.”

　　Wen Jianing understood what he meant, and after a long silence, he finally nodded.

After that, I will try my best to update not later than 12 o’clock, if I’m not busy, I will not ask for leave if I postpone the update. The postponed time is random. Only when Weibo officially asks for no update will it mean that there will be no update at that day.

I was suddenly reminded the song I can go the distance when imagining Wen Jianing looking at the distance on a boat. I guess Wen Jianing is paying the price of having a gambling good luck tonight, huh?

       The TV series that Yi Nan and Wen Lin played had finally decided to give Wen Jianing a cameo role. It was an important character who had almost no role but served as a connecting thread in the story from beginning to end.

       He only had one scene in total, but it took him a long time for makeup and styling. The character was a legendary bladesmith master, and the story began when the protagonist got a sword he forged. When the protagonists finally looked for him, he had been sleeping in the depths of the cold pool for thousands of years that had not been frozen for thousands of years. The scene was only him closing his eyes and sinking in the water, with dark long hair and a white long shirt floating in the water.

       The background was generated by a computer. After Wen Jianing put on his makeup, he finished shooting in the studio, which only took half a day.

       And because this shot was so beautiful, it was chosen as the opening of the TV series. Of course, this was a later story.

       Over here, the shooting of ‘Springtime Dream’ was still going on. The scenes in the studio were basically over, and the rest were all on-site scenes.

       For the downtown location scene, Cao Songquan chose a large coastal city, and it was estimated that the shooting time would last two weeks.

        Wen Tinghuan would accompany him there, and Wen Jianing could only say goodbye to Lu Jinlang.

　　Lu Jinlang’s life was actually too relaxed because he didn’t need to appear in public often. With the increasingly strict selection of scripts, sometimes he might not be able to shoot a movie in a year. In this way, he controlled most of his time himself.

　　When Wen Jianing was packing his things, Lu Jinlang was beside him to help him.

　　As they packed things up one by one, Wen Jianing suddenly felt that Lu Jinlang would be a little lonely living here alone. He said, “Why don’t you go back for a few days?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “It doesn’t matter. I have to let Yunan clean up again if I go back, so don’t bother.”

　　Wen Jianing then said, “Are you going to come to visit the movie set?”

　　Lu Jinlang told him, “I will seriously consider it.”

　　Wen Jianing set off with the crew and settled down in the hotel in the local area. Then, the crew started filming non-stop.

　　In one of the more important location scenes, the heroine and Xue You had a quarrel in the taxi. At that time, Xue You got out of the car and ran outside through the gap in the traffic flow. As a result, he fell over the railing.

　　In order not to block the traffic, the scene was filmed after one o’clock in the morning. Many cars were rented and many extras were hired. The crew including Wen Tinghuan were all used as extras.

　　First, the scene of two people arguing in a taxi was shot.

　　Mu Huaqi could shoot this kind of scene easily. She quarrelled with Wen Jianing loudly, showing an angry and sad expression. Later, her eyes were even covered with tears.

　　Wen Jianing’s tone became colder and his chest fluctuated violently because of anger.

　　Mu Huaqi yelled at him, “What do you know? Do you really think you are a woman? I don’t need you to tell me what to do with him!!”

　　Wen Jianing looked at her, and after a few moments passed he pulled the door and got out of the car.

　　This scene had been taken twice, and the next shot was the scene of him running out through the traffic. This shot was zoomed out, and when the camera shoots from a height, cars that block the whole street could be seen.

　　Wen Jianing got out of the car, then slammed the door heavily and ran towards the street. He passed through the gap between the cars, ran to the side of the street in one breath, reached for the railing and flipped over.

　　This scene was taken several times over and over because Cao Songquan felt that the parking position of several cars was inappropriate, so he asked the driver to move the car. As a result, moving one car caused every other car to be moved around too. Each time one car was moved it took ten minutes to finish.

　　Wen Jianing ran several times, and it was not until Wen Jianing was out of breath that Cao Songquan gave it a pass.

　　Next was the close-up shot of flipping over the railing.

　　Not only did he have to twist on the railing, but he had to flip over and fall until he sat on the ground.

　　The action director specially asked someone to demonstrate to him and put a disguised cushion on the ground. So he would just sit on the cushion when he fell down.

　　He practised several times before the official shooting, but after the shooting started, Wen Jianing did not know whether it’s because he just ran too many times, but the intense exercise made his calf cramps. He ended up not stepping on the right spot, and his knee hit hard on the railing.

　　He felt a sharp pain and slid down from above.

　　Wen Tinghuan hurried over upon seeing this and asked, “Are you okay?”

　　Cao Songquan was also nervous. He trotted over and asked Wen Jianing, “How is it? Were you injured?”

　　Wen Jianing shook his head, “It’s all right. Let’s start over again.”

　　The cost of filming this scene tonight was not small. If they didn’t finish shooting today and had to come again tomorrow, the crew would lose a lot.

　　He couldn’t see how bad his knee was hurt through his pants. He stood on the ground and tried it again. He felt that it didn’t affect his actions too much, so he told Cao Songquan to start again.

　　This time Wen Jianing concentrated, turned over at one time, and fell onto the mat on the ground.

　　The passer-by played by the extras looked at him in surprise.

　　He cursed loudly, “What the hell are you looking at? Never seen anyone fall over the railing, huh?” After saying this, he could not restrain his emotions, raised his hand to cover his face and wailed loudly, then stood up and limped away.

　　Immediately afterwards, the heroine played by Mu Huaqi ran over from the middle of the road in order to chase him, turned over the railing in the same place, and fell in the same posture.

　　The same passerby looked at her with a dumbfounded face, and then said before she could say anything, “I have seen someone who fell over a railing, but I have never seen an idiot who followed when someone else fell!”

　　Mu Huaqi glared at him, cursing, “It’s none of your business!”

　　Then she also felt aggrieved, sniffed her nose and stood up and limped away.

　　The highlight of this scene was finally finished before dawn.

　　When Wen Jianing went to change his clothes, it was very difficult to take off his trousers. When he took off his trousers, he saw that his knees were red and swollen, and it hurt a little when he pressed them lightly.

　　”How’s it going?” Wen Tinghuan asked immediately after Wen Jianing came out after changing his clothes.

　　Wen Jianing said, “It should be fine, I guess I’ll be fine after a good night’s sleep.”

　　Wen Tinghuan asked, “Is it really fine?”

　　Wen Jianing tried to move his knees, and felt that it was still tolerable. He thought that it was probably just some light muscle injury, so he said to Wen Tinghuan, “It’s fine. Let’s just go back and rest. It’s too tiring today.”

　　After he went back to the hotel to sleep for a few hours, Wen Jianing woke up, and he noticed that not only did his knee not get better, but the pain got worse. He was able to walk normally last night, but today it was a bit hard to even bend his knee.

　　Wen Tinghuan became nervous and had to take him to the hospital for a check-up. As a result, they went to the local hospital to take an X-ray and found that the bones were not injured. But the doctor said that most of the ligaments were inflamed, so he asked him to go back and have a good rest. He would be fine in a few days.

　　Cao Songquan was shocked by the bad news.

　　Although Wen Jianing was not injured to the point of being unable to move, his knees could not be bent, which meant he could not walk in an ordinary posture.

　　Most of the next location scenes require walking or running. Cao Songquan had no choice but to ask Wen Jianing to rest for a few days, and film other people’s scenes first. If Wen Jianing couldn’t move normally after a week, Cao Songquan could only consider deleting his scenes.

　　Wen Tinghuan said to Wen Jianing, “I told you not to push yourself too much last night.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “If I don’t do so, maybe last night’s scene will also be deleted.”

　　Wen Tinghuan sighed deeply and before leaving Wen Jianing’s room, she said “Just lie on the bed, and don’t go anywhere. Don’t move your knees, and try to recover as soon as possible.”

　　Wen Jianing was left alone on the bed in the hotel room and couldn’t go anywhere. He flipped through the rest of the script that hadn’t been shot, and at other times, he could only watch TV.

　　Wen Jianing suddenly remembered Lu Jinlang at this moment. He took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Lu Jinlang, telling him that his leg was injured and he didn’t dare to move while lying on the bed. But before he dialled the number, he was hesitant to do so.

　　In the end, he didn’t call.

　　That afternoon, he waited in the room for Wen Tinghuan to bring him dinner. He waited until it was almost seven but Wen Tinghuan did not show up.

　　When Wen Jianing was about to call Wen Tinghuan, he heard the doorbell ring.

　　He limped off the bed and jumped to open the door. He thought he would see Wen Tinghuan, and he didn’t expect that the person standing at the door was Lu Jinlang.

　　Lu Jinlang was still carrying a plastic bag in his hand. As soon as he entered the door, he put his arm around Wen Jianing’s waist and half hugged him and sent him back to the bed to sit down. Then put the bag on the bedside table and said, “It’s still hot after an hour and a half flight, so just eat it.”

　　Wen Jianing looked up at Lu Jinlang and asked, “Did Ting jie call you?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “I asked Yunan to call Wen Tinghuan before I heard her mention it.”

　　After Lu Jinlang said that, he sat down by the bed and asked Wen Jianing, “Why didn’t you tell me?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I’m not badly hurt.”

　　Lu Jinlang asked him, “Do you want to go back to rest? I will send you back later when you feel better?”

　　 Wen Jianing refused, “Running back and forth like this will affect recovery.”

　　Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand and touched his head gently.

　　In fact, Wen Jianing was a little touched. It was not a very pleasant feeling to stay alone in a hotel room in a foreign country. He actually wanted to call Lu Jinlang, and he was hoping that Lu Jinlang would come to see him, but he didn’t expect that Lu Jinlang would really come over.

　　Because of this reason, if Lu Jinlang one day told him to pack up and leave, he felt that Lu Jinlang did not owe him anything.

　　Lu Jinlang came over to accompany him for two days and left.

　　 However, it took about a week for Wen Jianing’s knee to recover to the point where he could walk normally. After that, although there was still a slight pain, he did not look awkward walking anymore.

　　Cao Songquan still didn’t have the heart to cut all Wen Jianing’s scenes, so he cut and trimmed all the previous scenes so that he could finish shooting the scenes without making him walk. Now he had to rectify a few scenes that need him to run.

　　Even if the on-site part was completely filmed, the movie should be finished.

　　On the day the filming ended, everyone had a good celebration and drank a little wine.

　　That night, Cao Songquan went to knock on his door.

　　 Wen Jianing didn’t understand what happened, Cao Songquan secretly told him to change his clothes and go out with him.

　　 “Where to?” Wen Jianing had a bad feeling. He was not interested in accompanying Cao Songquan to sneak around. He thought that he would give up with the excuse that he didn’t like women.

　　Cao Songquan said, “Don’t worry, you won’t be caught by Lu Jinlang. This time it will be different.”

　　Cao Songquan refused to say anything else. He only urged Wen Jianing to change clothes and go out with him. Wen Jianing had no choice but to change clothes and go out with him. Even he didn’t have time to say anything to Wen Tinghuan.

　　In the end, they came out of the hotel and got in the car directly. Looking at the direction, it turned out that they took them to the beach.

　　He followed Cao Songquan on the speedboat, Wen Jianing suddenly knew where he was going, and he asked Cao Songquan, “You’re going to gamble on a boat?”

　　Cao Songquan said, “Don’t be nervous. It’s just gambling on the high seas.* It’s okay.”

　　The sea breeze with a salty smell slapped his face. Wen Jianing was speechless for a while, and since he had reached this point. He couldn’t ask Cao Songquan to send him back. He could only accompany Cao Songquan to continue toward the high seas. Although Wen Jianing would not say that he was completely disinterested in eating, drinking, and gambling, he was really not interested this time. At that time he got on the boat and gambled symbolically, and he was almost ready to leave.

　　It was late at night when they arrived at the cruise, and the lively gambling scene had already started long ago. The casino hall on the sixth floor was currently the most lively place. Many gamblers and tourists gathered here to place bets around the gambling table.

　　Cao Songquan’s destination was not the casino hall. Led by the waiter, he and Wen Jianing directly passed through the casino hall and entered a private room on the left side of the cruise ship.

　　Wen Jianing followed Cao Songquan. As soon as the waiter in front opened the door, he immediately saw an acquaintance sitting inside. After they entered, he found that there was more than one acquaintance. Lu Jinxin and Li Rong were both in this luxury private room. In addition to the two of them, Wei Lun was another person who Wen Jianing knew. He didn’t know the rest.

　　When Wei Lun saw Cao Songquan, he raised his hand and beckoned him to sit down. At the same time, he also greeted Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Jianing nodded, and then seeing Lu Jinxin staring at him with a puzzled expression, he could only reluctantly call out, “Mr. Lu.”

　　When Li Rong saw Lu Jinxin staring at Wen Jianing with a cold face, he suddenly laughed. He raised his hand and greeted Wen Jianing, “Xinhang, come and sit here.”

　　Wen Jianing actually didn’t intend to mingle with these people at all. He just wanted to sit down with Cao Songquan and watch him play for a while, and then sneaked out to find a room to sleep on the pretext of going to the toilet. But now he had no choice but to reluctantly walked to the vacant seat beside Li Rong and sat down.

　　The first thing he said as he sat down was, “Sorry, I left in a hurry. I didn’t bring any money.”

*Gambling on the high seas are intended for those who want to gamble outside the countries’ jurisdiction since all gambling laws at sea are set by the country under which the ship is registered to.

       When Lu Jinlang said that he was here to pick up someone, no one in the room seemed to react right away.

       Immediately afterwards, Lu Jinlang grabbed Wen Jianing’s wrist by himself, let him release Xixi’s waist, and then asked, “Going back?”

       Wen Jianing could only calmly answer, “Yeah, I’m going back.”

       Cao Songquan didn’t turn his head for a moment, and looked at the few people around him in confusion.

       Wei Lun was the first to react and said, “Here to pick up Xiao Ke? Come in and sit together for a bit.”

       Lu Jinlang walked in.

       Since Lu Jinlang was still holding Wen Jianing’s wrist, Wen Jianing could only follow him back in.

       Lu Jinlang said politely, “Since Xinhang is planning to leave, I won’t sit down. I have paid the bill for tonight. Please enjoy yourself, and let’s drink together again when we have the opportunity.”

       Since he said so, the others couldn’t force him to stay.

       Lu Jinlang asked Wen Jianing again, “Let’s go back now?”

       Wen Jianing nodded and turned to say goodbye to Cao Songquan and the others.

       Wen Jianing followed Lu Jinlang away. Xixi froze for a moment and went back to the private room. Wen Jianing knew they would talk about them, and this was also something that couldn’t be helped. They could just talk about it for all he cares.

       As soon as he got into the car, Wen Jianing asked Lu Jinlang, “How do you know that I am here?”

       Lu Jinlang said, “Is it not easy to know that you are here? I know you are going to have dinner with Cao Songquan tonight, so I know you must be here.”

       Wen Jianing didn’t know if Lu Jinlang was upset. After all, the situation at the time was still quite ambiguous. He turned his head and asked, “Are you here to catch me cheating?”

       Lu Jinlang unexpectedly said, “Yes. Unfortunately, I caught you right away. Where are you going to take her? How are you going to have fun with her?”

       Wen Jianing knew that Lu Jinlang meant that he had no way to have fun with that woman. Although it was true, he still couldn’t help being unhappy because of Lu Jinlang’s words. He said, “Do you think there’s really no way to if I want to have fun with her?”

       Lu Jinlang smiled, suddenly stretched out his right hand and placed it on Wen Jianing’s lap, and said, “How are you going to do it? Teach me.”

       His voice was laced with ire which was rare to be heard. As he spoke, he also used his hand to squeeze Wen Jianing’s leg.

       Wen Jianing suddenly felt that Lu Jinlang was a little angry. Although he still had a gentle smile on his face, and his tone was calm from beginning to end, his lover was holding another woman in his arms. Even if he knew the act was needed on those kinds of occasions, it would still make him a little unhappy.

       Lu Jinlang was still waiting for Wen Jianing’s answer.

       Wen Jianing said, “Are you angry?”

       Lu Jinlang looked at him and said,  “Cao Songquan is like that. He will take you out to play, and it means that he thinks highly of you. In a sense, it’s a good thing. I don’t think it’s a problem if you want to please him.”

       Wen Jianing asked again, “Is it really not a problem or are you faking it?”

       “It’s really not a problem,” said Lu Jinlang. “But you don’t have to change the topic. I just want to know how you’re going to have fun with that woman.”

       Wen Jianing just said nonchalantly that he could come up with a lot of ways to play, but he didn’t even let the other party touch his body. He was not that perverted. When he heard Lu Jinlang’s question, he could only say, “Do you want me to play with you?”

       Unexpectedly, Lu Jinlang said, “Sure, I’ll play with you any way you want today.”

       Wen Jianing chuckled, “Are you playing me or am I playing with you?”

       Lu Jinlang said to him, “Teach me how you plan to have fun with her.”

       It was of course impossible for Wen Jianing to play Lu Jinlang. If Lu Jinlang wanted to be played by him, he had to take off his clothes and lie down happily and let him lead.

       So when Wen Jianing sat naked on the bed facing Lu Jinlang, Lu Jinlang stood next to the bed with his clothes and pants still neatly intact, and asked him, “Are you planning to play like this?”

       Wen Jianing nodded obediently.

       Lu Jinlang put his hands in his pants pockets and sat down gently on the side of the bed. He said, “Well, it is indeed a good idea. It is a pleasant thing to just look at you like this. Spread your legs a little bit.”

       Wen Jianing separated his legs.

       Lu Jinlang did not continue to speak but just looked at him. His gaze slowly fell from his face to his neck, and then to his chest…

       Wen Jianing’s breathing gradually became hard.

       He had drunk a lot of alcohol tonight. Although he was still very sober, the alcohol running in his blood would inevitably raise his body temperature and made him easier to be excited.

       In his last life, he had lived to the age of 34 and never once did he thinks that he was gay until the day he died. In this life, he could feel excited just by a man looking at him. He had to say it was a wonderful experience.

       His chest rose and fell heavily because of his rapid breathing. Before Lu Jinlang said anything, Wen Jianing reached down and touched himself.

       Lu Jinlang suddenly said, “Did I allow you to touch it?”

       Wen Jianing retracted his hands and simply propped his elbows on the bed, leaning on his back with his legs spread wider.

       This time Lu Jinlang said, “That’s it, very good.” Then he stood up and took out a tie from the cabinet, covering Wen Jianing’s eyes…

       His sight was blocked, so his sense of hearing and smell inevitably became more sensitive. Wen Jianing tilted his head back slightly, waiting for Lu Jinlang’s next command. His naked body felt the cold wind in the air. He swallowed his saliva gently, causing his Adam’s apple to move.

       Lu Jinlang pressed a finger to his throat. If he applied more force, Wen Jianing’s breathing would become difficult. But instead of resisting, Wen Jianing lay with his body spread even wider.

       Lu Jinlang’s voice seemed to be right next to his ear. A low and husky voice with an irresistible force, “Well, you can touch yourself now.”

       In fact, Wen Jianing felt a little bit ashamed. Wen Jianing’s skin showed a red glint under the light. He wrapped his small genitalia between his legs with his fingers and rubbed it twice to make it firmer. With his other hand, he grabbed Lu Jinlang’s wrist up and pulled his hand down until it was on his chest.

       However, Lu Jinlang said, “No, you need to do it by yourself.”

       After he said that, Lu Jinlang withdrew his hand. Wen Jianing did not stop him, but replaced his own fingers, pinching one side of the nipple and slightly pulling it outward.

       In Lu Jinlang’s eyes, the scene in front of him where he saw Wen Jianing playing with his nipples with one hand and masturbating between his legs with the other hand was extremely erotic.

       Wen Jianing couldn’t see with his eyes, but he knew that Lu Jinlang was looking at him. His eyes seemed to be carefully tracing along the curve of his body with a burning gaze. His breathing became more and more rapid, and he couldn’t help but speed up his hand’s movement a bit.

       Suddenly, Wen Jianing felt that the nipple on the other side was wrapped by a warm and moist touch. He was stunned for a moment and then realized that one of his nipples was enveloped in Lu Jinlang’s mouth. He even clearly felt Lu Jinlang’s hot breath on his beating chest, so he couldn’t help to be more and more excited. His body did not last long. At this time, the half-hard and half-soft d1ck in his hand gurgled some cum that flowed down between his legs and wetted the sheets.

       Lu Jinlang’s kiss had moved from his chest to his neck.

       Wen Jianing said, “You see, that’s it.”

       Lu Jinlang smirked, “You are so easily satisfied, but it is far from enough for me.”

       After he said that, Wen Jianing felt that Lu Jinlang held his legs and raised them. His hot and hard d1ck suddenly entered him from behind. He didn’t even loosen the hole first, and only lubricated with it some of his body fluid at the entrance.

       Wen Jianing grunted.

       But Lu Jinlang didn’t stop and thrust into him violently.

       At dawn, Wen Jianing was awakened by Lu Jinlang with a kiss. Lu Jinlang told him, “It’s time to get up. Wen Tinghuan will come to pick you up later.”

       His body swayed a little as he sat up, and then he sat on the bed for a while in a daze.

       Even though the session last night seemed very fierce, Lu Jinlang was actually still very gentle afterwards. For this kind of thing, Lu Jinlang had always been very meticulous, and this was the reason why it would make you feel the illusion…. that he really loves you.

       Lu Jinlang looked at Wen Jianing who seemed to be in a daze and took the initiative to help him find the clothes in the cabinet and put them by the bed, and then said, “I’ll make breakfast for you.”

       Wen Jianing was still a little out of shape until he got in the car that Wen Tinghuan drove to pick him up.

       Wen Tinghuan glanced at him and said, “You have the look of someone who is indulging too much.”

       Wen Jianing heard the words, really pulled down the mirror to take a look, and saw that he was a little haggard.

       Wen Tinghuan said, “I heard that the Film emperor Lu went directly to Cao Songquan to snatch someone yesterday?”

       Wen Jianing was a little surprised, “How do you know that?”

       Wen Ting snorted, “This circle is so big, it’s only a matter of minutes and even seconds for the news to reach me. I have answered several calls that asked me if it is true that you are with Lu Jinlang.”

       Wen Jianing just smiled.

       “You’re still smiling,” Wen Tinghuan was a little unhappy, “He doesn’t plan to let Cao Songquan take you out to play again, right?”

       Wen Jianing rubbed his aching waist, “I didn’t like going out with Cao Songquan and the others anyway.”

       Wen Tinghuan wanted to say something but later found it unnecessary. She believed Wen Jianing was a person who could see clearly, so she just said, “Anyway, just protect yourself.”

       In the morning at the studio, Cao Songquan saw Wen Jianing from a distance and raised his hand to greet him.

       Wen Jianing walked over, and Cao Songquan handed him a cigarette. He thanked him and refused.

       Cao Songquan said, “I learned later that you were with Lu Jinlang?” When he saw that Lu Jinlang was so nervous to pick up him last night, Cao Songquan certainly didn’t think that Lu Jinlang was just keeping a little lover.

       Wen Jianing smiled as a confirmation.

       Cao Songquan was quite open-minded and said “It doesn’t matter. I asked who gave the production’s side a call, and wondered about it for a while.”

       Wen Jianing could not answer this, so he listened to Cao Songquan to continue.

       Cao Songquan said, “Did you get into trouble last night?” Maybe he was often caught by his wife, and when he saw Wen Jianing being taken away by Lu Jinlang, he felt a little worried.

       Wen Jianing hurriedly said, “No, it’s fine.”

       Cao Songquan patted his arm, “I will be more careful in the future.”

       Wen Jianing didn’t understand him for a while.

       Cao Songquan whispered again, “We must find a safer place in the future.”

       Wen Jianing suddenly understood that he wanted to take himself out to sneak around. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and he just wanted to say that it was not necessary. Wen Tinghuan had already called him to put on makeup, so he had to interrupt the topic and walked toward the makeup artist.

       Wen Jianing was busy with filming here and had not returned to the company for several days. The TV series that Wen Lin and Yi Nan played had officially entered the publicity stage. The script of the game adaptation had been finalized, and the makeup photos had also been published on the online platform.

       This time it was still a double male lead, but there were two female lead characters at the same time, and the emotions of the four were a bit complex.

       In order to help the TV series publicity, the company specially arranged Wen Lin and Yi Nan to go to the ‘Springtime Dream’ crew to explore Wen Jianing’s site and sent an invitation to entertainment reporters.

       This was the first time Yi Nan had seen Wen Jianing filming in person, and it was completely different from seeing it on TV. He thought that the company suddenly gave up and changed to focus on Wen Jianing only because Wen Jianing became popular after ‘The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix’, but now he thought that the company was probably more optimistic about Wen Jianing’s prospects, and his acting skills were really mesmerizing.

       After filming a scene, Wen Jianing put on a coat and came to take a picture with Wen Lin and Yi Nan.

       Then he also accepted a brief interview.

       At the end of the interview, the three people sat in a row chatting in the corner.

       Wen Jianing asked them how they were preparing for the new play.

       Yi Nan didn’t speak, and Wen Lin said, “Very good.”

       Wen Jianing saw that neither of them had any energy. He knew that they had their own concerns and felt that their career was not very satisfactory.

       It was not easy for everyone to reach where they were today. Wen Jianing suddenly said to them, “Give me a role, and I’ll make a cameo.”

       Wen Lin and Yi Nan turned to look at him at the same time.

       Wen Jianing smiled, “How about it?”

       Yi Nan bumped his boot-clad leg with the back of his foot and said, “A female cameo, huh?”

       Wen Jianing was not angry, and said, “I’m serious, look at you two, one looking stupid and one looking blank, I guess I can’t think of other things, I’ll talk to Zheng Xin and ask him to find me a role.”

       Wen Lin said, “Okay, you are more than welcome to do that.”

       Wen Jianing put his arm around both of their shoulders, and said, “Cheer up, brothers, we are going to be the number one group in Asia in the future.”

       Yi Nan finally couldn’t help laughing, and said, “You are crazy!”

       At this time, the director asked Wen Jianing to prepare for the next scene.

       He hurried over, took off his jacket and asked the stylist to help him tidy up, and then walked over to discuss the next scene with Cao Songquan.

       On the third day of Wen Jianing’s participation in the official shooting of ‘Springtime Dream’, he met Fang Mingdong, who played the leading role in the film. In fact, Fang Mingdong used to be an old acquaintance of Wen Jianing, and they used to make movies together. At that time, Fang Mingdong played a supporting role for him. The two got along well, and they also ate and drank together in private.

　　Fang Mingdong’s personality was a little extreme, and he had a lot of things he didn’t like. Of course, he wouldn’t stand up and criticise, but his likes and dislikes would be clearly shown on his face.

       In the past, he used to like interacting with Wen Jianing, but now he obviously didn’t like Wen Jianing very much. When Wen Jianing greeted him, he nodded in response, but soon turned aside under the pretext of other things and was unwilling to have a long chat with Wen Jianing.

       Wen Jianing guessed if it was because Lu Jinlang asked the producer to put him in, and the matter was known by Fang Mingdong. So Fang Mingdong was dissatisfied with him from the beginning.

       Today’s scene was in a coffee shop. The male lead played by Fang Mingdong was having a meeting with a female client, but the female protagonist and her friends mistakenly believed that he was coming for a blind date. The heroine was worried but didn’t dare to stop it, so Xue You, played by Wen Jianing, rushed out, took the water cup and splashed the male lead’s face with water. He cried about how he had cheated on him and scared the female customer out of her wits.

       Before the official shooting, Wen Jianing rehearsed with Fang Mingdong several times. Wen Jianing pretended to splash the water in the empty cup into Fang Mingdong.

　　Fang Mingdong suddenly said to him, “Try to pass it in one go, otherwise, I will have to blow dry my hair before we can continue again.”

       Wen Jianing felt that his request was actually quite excessive for a newcomer like him. Who didn’t want to do it all at once, but the more thorough your request, the easier it was for the other party to be nervous, and made mistakes.

       But lucky for him, Wen Jianing was not a newcomer.

       The filming officially started. Wen Jianing was wearing a long windbreaker jacket, tights and black boots. He walked up to Fang Mingdong’s table and splashed the water on Fang Mingdong’s face without saying a word.

       His movements were very quick, and Fang Mingdong had no time to react at all. Before he could react, he had been splashed with water all over his face.

　　The female client opposite him screamed and stood up and took two steps back.

       Wen Jianing followed with a slap in the face and controlled the angle. This shot looked heavy, but in fact, it just hit his jaw. The sound was loud but it shouldn’t hurt too much.

       Fang Mingdong’s head was tilted to one side

       Wen Jianing folded his arms across his chest and said, “How can you do this to me?”

       Fang Mingdong covered his face with one hand, turned his head and asked angrily, “Who are you?”

       Wen Jianing put his finger against his nose and said, “Shame on you!” Then he ran outside.

       Fang Mingdong stood up and shouted, “Who are you? Hey! Explain properly!”

       After the scene was over, Cao Songquan gave Wen Jianing a thumbs up and asked him to take a close-up shot.

       After a few days of filming, Cao Songquan was very satisfied with Wen Jianing. He even pulled Wen Jianing to see the picture on the monitor and asked Wen Jianing for his opinions.

       He felt that Wen Jianing’s performance was very consistent with many of his ideas and so he was very interested in communicating with Wen Jianing.

       Cao Songquan was a director with obvious personal characteristics. He liked to use the same actors that he felt could express what he wanted. For example, Fang Mingdong had worked with him more than once.

       As for Wen Jianing now, he felt like he had dug a treasure. Therefore, he went back to watch some shots of ‘The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix’ and realized that Wen Jianing’s acting skills were indeed superb, but his face was too good. In idol dramas that were relatively crudely filmed, it was easy to overlook some things.

　　After the filming of the scene, Fang Mingdong’s assistant quickly took a towel to wipe his hair. He turned to look at Wen Jianing and saw that Wen Jianing was already standing next to Cao Songquan to watch the shot with him. The two of them were talking and laughing together.

　　Today’s work ended early. Before finishing work, Cao Songquan asked Wen Jianing and Fang Mingdong to wait and have dinner together in the evening.

　　Cao Songquan loved to play around and this fact was well-known in this industry. His wife was actually very strict, but Wen Jianing didn’t know how strict she was. Cao Songquan would go out to eat sneakily every time he was filming, and he heard that his wife had caught him.

　　When Wen Jianing heard that Cao Songquan asked for dinner, he guessed that Cao Songquan had arranged some entertainment. This kind of entertainment was necessary. Wen Jianing greeted Wen Tinghuan and asked Wen Tinghuan to go back first, and that he would take a taxi back later at night.

　　Wen Tinghuan heard that he was going out with Cao Songquan, and whispered, “Don’t mess around, it’s very troublesome to be photographed by paparazzi.”

　　”I won’t mess around,” Wen Jianing said.

　　Cao Songquan first booked a private room for dinner in a private club. He said there were more people to make things more lively, and he went to pick up two more people, and let Wen Jianing take Fang Mingdong’s car to go over there first.

　　Fang Mingdong’s assistant drove. Wen Jianing and Fang Mingdong sat in the back seat.

　　On the way, Fang Mingdong asked casually, “Where is your assistant?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “It is not convenient for a girl like her, so I tell her to go back first.”

　　Fang Mingdong didn’t say anything more.

　　When they arrived at the private room of the restaurant for the dinner, there were still only two of them, but Cao Songquan had set a large table. Obviously, he had called many other guests.

　　Fang Mingdong didn’t talk to Wen Jianing and lowered his head to play with his mobile phone.

　　Wen Jianing felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. In fact, he had a lot of topics to talk about to Fang Mingdong, but he couldn’t say it because Ke Xinhang didn’t know Fang Mingdong’s personal affairs.

　　Nearly twenty minutes later, Cao Songquan and his entourage came. There was also Wei Lun, the actor in this year’s Academy Awards, and Wei Qinglei, a well-known screenwriter in the industry. Wen Jianing knew that the two of them, along with Cao Songquan, and Fang Mingdong, were people in a small circle, and he was the only outsider here.

　　Seeing Wei Lun coming in, Fang Mingdong and Wen Jianing both stood up and greeted them politely.

　　Wei Lun was in his forties this year. He had acted in plays for many years, from minor to important supporting roles. He had also played a large number of cheap movies, and some forbidden movies that couldn’t be released in the country. It was really not easy to get to this point.

　　Cao Songquan gives a proper introduction to Wen Jianing in general.

　　Wen Jianing had been very popular recently. Even if one didn’t really care about the internet, it was impossible to have never heard his name. Wei Lun and Wei Qinglei both greeted him politely.

　　As soon as these people sat down, someone knocked on the private room door. Six or seven beautiful young girls came in from the outside. They were actors and magazine models who he had never met and couldn’t even call their names.

　　One of them obviously knew Cao Songquan, and when she saw him, she rushed over and kissed both sides of his face.

　　Cao Songquan smiled and told everyone to sit down and have fun today.

　　There were girls sitting on Wen Jianing’s left and right sides, and the entire private room suddenly became lively. Cao Songquan said, “You girls should introduce yourself one by one.”

　　Those girls really stood up and introduced themselves one by one.

　　The girl on Wen Jianing’s left said to him, “My name is Xixi. I have been watching ‘The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix’ before, and I really like you.”

　　When Cao Songquan heard her, he immediately said, “You have to express a little if you like it.”

　　When she heard what Cao Songquan said, Xixi picked up the wine glass and said to Wen Jianing, “I toast you a glass.”

　　Wen Jianing picked up the wine glass, not because of Xixi toasting him, but purely to not embarrass Cao Songquan.

　　He couldn’t say that he like this kind of entertainment, but it was not necessarily disgusting. When he was in the past, he even thought it was okay to play with these girls, but now it was impossible. Not only because of his physical limitation, but it was also because his desire to do so was no longer there.

　　Even halfway through the meal, he suddenly wondered what Lu Jinlang was eating at home alone tonight.

　　After dinner, Cao Songquan opened a private room in the clubhouse to sing.

　　Cao Songquan liked to ask these young girls to sing and dance. He and Wei Lun talked together while smoking cigarettes. The girl next to him returned to him after singing, she hugged him and ran back to sing

　　Cao Songquan seemed to like the entertainment.

　　Cao Songquan called Wen Jianing over and said to Wei Lun and the others, “This kid is still young but he is very good.” He asked Wen Jianing, “How old are you? Twenty one?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Yes, and I will be twenty-two in the second half of this year.”

　　Cao Songquan nodded.

　　Wei Lun heard the words and sighed, “So young.”

　　Cao Songquan said to Wei Qinglei, “How about it, Old Wei? Go write Xiao Ke a suitable script for him.”

　　Wei Qinglei smiled and said, “No problem. If I wrote the script, would you direct it?”

　　Cao Songquan patted his chest, “Of course I will direct it, and I will also be the producer. I promise to make Xiao Ke fly high into the sky.”

　　Wen Jianing was flattered with Cao Songquan’s demeanour. It seemed that Cao Songquan really liked him. He could feel it and couldn’t help but feel a little more grateful.

　　At this moment, Fang Mingdong said to their side, “Why didn’t I see you shoot me a movie that made me soar into the sky?”

　　Cao Songquan said, “Am I not filming you right now? Why are you jealous?”

　　Several girls giggled on the sidelines.

　　One of them hugged Fang Mingdong’s waist, raised her head and whispered to him in a low voice. Fang Mingdong took down the cigarette from his mouth and stuffed it into the girl’s mouth. The girl quickly took a puff with a smile.

　　Wen Jianing glanced at the time and felt that it was time for him to find a way to get out.

　　The girl named Xixi came closer to him, touching Wen Jianing’s chest with one hand, and touching his thigh with the other.

　　Wen Jianing was very sensitive to that place, and immediately reached out and grabbed Xixi’s hand, smiled and held her hand in his hand to prevent her hand from moving.

　　Cao Songquan said to him, “There is a room upstairs, just sign with my name.”

　　Wen Jianing hesitated, he couldn’t say he wanted to leave in front of Cao Songquan, but it was very easy to leave and later find a reason to leave Xixi away. So he just stood up, and at the same time stretched out his hand to pull Xixi up, and said, “Then I’ll have a rest first.”

　　Cao Songquan gave him an understanding look and waved him to hurry away.

　　Wen Jianing walked to the door of the private room with his hand on Xixi’s waist. He was taken aback when he opened the door because he found Lu Jinlang standing outside the private room.

　　Lu Jinlang obviously intended to come in, but when he saw Wen Jianing coming out, he withdrew the hand that was pushing the door, stood still and smiled at him.

　　Wen Jianing had no intention of cheating, and of course, he did not feel guilty for Lu Jinlang, but if he immediately releases his arm around Xixi, it would seemed like he had been caught in adultery; but if he did not release it, it seemed like he was provoking Lu Jinlang.

　　At the moment Wen Jianing hesitated, several people in the private room saw Lu Jinlang, and Cao Songquan was the first to stand up, “Oh! Film Emperor Lu! What a coincidence?”

　　Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing didn’t deliberately hide from anyone in the circle. Cao Songquan may have heard that before, but Wen Jianing was not popular at that time. It was not a great deal for Lu Jinlang to take care of a young artist, and as time passed no one remembered it anymore. 

　　When he saw Lu Jinlang now, Cao Songquan still didn’t react for a while. He was just wondering who Lu Jinlang was looking for and hurriedly asked him to come in and sit down.

　　Lu Jinlang smiled, and said, “Thank you for the invitation, Director Cao. I’m here to pick up someone.”

       Although Xu Rujing’s husband was a middle-aged man who was going bald, the diva was obviously satisfied with this marriage. When they exchanged rings, she covered her mouth with one hand and shed some tears.

       At the end of the wedding ceremony, the bride threw the flower bouquet in her hand, and her bridesmaids and some young female guests were trying hard to grab the flower bouquet.

       Unexpectedly, Xu Rujing threw the flower ball farther than expected and landed on Lu Jinlang sitting in the front seat. Lu Jinlang just reached out and hugged it.

       The camera of the live video immediately aimed at Lu Jinlang, and Lu Jinlang smiled.

       A girl wanted to come over to him but felt embarrassed, so she went around Xu Rujing and asked Xu Rujing to ask Lu Jinlang.

       Xu Rujing smiled and asked Lu Jinlang for the flower bouquet, saying that this should be given to a girl.

       Lu Jinlang joked and said, “Give me something in exchange.”

       Xu Rujing hesitated and handed Lu Jinlang a pair of white bears on the wedding cake in exchange for the flower bouquet in his hand.

       After the banquet was over, Wen Jianing received a call from Lu Jinlang when he was about to leave, asking him to go to the parking lot and go back in his car.

       “I drove here,” Wen Jianing said.

       Lu Jinlang said to him, “Let Yunan drive your car back.”

       He walked to the underground parking lot, and Wen Jianing saw Lu Jinlang’s car flashing its light from a distance. He walked in that direction, opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

       Lu Jinlang gave him the pair of white bears that he asked from Xu Rujing, and said, “I’m giving this to you.”

       Two little bears, one in a suit and the other in a wedding dress, looked innocent and very affectionate.

       Wen Jianing smiled, separated the arms of the two little bears, and then handed the little bear in the wedding dress back to Lu Jinlang, saying, “How about one for you and one for me?”

       Lu Jinlang took a look and said, “Are you giving yourself to me? Fine, please help to take it back for me and put it together.”

       Wen Jianing put the two little bears on his lap, and then asked Lu Jinlang, “Are we going home?”

       “Yes,” Lu Jinlang continued, “When you finish filming this movie, let’s go on a trip.”

       Wen Jianing nodded without asking where they would go.

       Back home, Wen Jianing placed the two bears beside the bedside table in the bedroom, one to the left and one to the right, and holding their separated hands back together.

       He had a short break, which was the final preparatory stage before the ‘Springtime Dream’ filming begins.

       Wen Jianing was reading the script at home and asked Lu Jinlang who was watering the flowers on the balcony, “If it were you, how would you play this role?”

       Lu Jinlang also read over the script and knew what kind of personality Xue You had. He said, “According to Cao Songquan’s style, he needs Xue You to be a funny character. A man with feminine characteristics is originally a comedy setup.”

       In fact, Wen Jianing understood what Lu Jinlang said. He had expected what kind of effect Cao Songquan wanted, but he didn’t want his performance to bring such an effect. He didn’t want to play this role to be completely seen as a funny clown.

       Lu Jinlang put the watering can on the balcony, he walked into the living room and sat down beside him, and said, “But if I were him, I wouldn’t ask you to play the role. I would find an actor who looks taller and stronger, wearing unisex clothing that has a very strong sense of contrast, so that the comedic effect would be more obvious.”

       Wen Jianing looked at him, “Didn’t you get me the opportunity to even skip the audition?”

       Lu Jinlang seemed to be in a good mood and smiled, “Yeah, I had to call some people to tell the producer about it, Cao Songquan can’t even do something about it.”

       Wen Jianing couldn’t help laughing because of his delinquent tone.

       Lu Jinlang continued, “So all that nonsense aside, tell me what you think?”

       Wen Jianing said, “I hope to portray him as a man with a somewhat feminine character. The so-called feminine character is not a character who is easily startled and jumping around to create a problem, but he acts like an ordinary woman who is helping her girlfriend to pursue a man and advising her from time to time.”

       Lu Jinlang felt that the idea was interesting and couldn’t help saying, “Go on, try it.”

       Wen Jianing took the script and read it for a while, probably to memorise the lines, and put the script aside. He then put his feet together and stepped on the sofa facing Lu Jinlang’s direction, one elbow on the knee, the palm supporting the lower jaw, and said in a somewhat light-hearted tone, “Did you dream of him again?”

       Lu Jinlang didn’t speak.

       Wen Jianing went on to continue the act on his own, and said, “And you say you’re not in love, damn girl!”

       It was clearly the gesture of a young girl.

       He went on to say, “Go after him! What are you afraid of, ah? If it were me I would go after him already!”

       Lu Jinlang nodded.

       Wen Jianing asked him, “Do you think the comedy effect has been weakened?”

       Lu Jinlang said, “It only depends on how Cao Songquan sees it.”

       Wen Jianing also knew that this might not be the effect Cao Songquan wanted.

       Lu Jinlang put his hand on the instep of his feet*,  “Although it was not easy to win prizes for this kind of romantic comedy, it should not affect the actors. So play it well.”

       Wen Jianing nodded.

       Lu Jinlang suddenly held his foot.

       Wen Jianing looked at him and said, “Mr. Lu, the sky is still bright. Is it appropriate to do this kind of thing?”

       Lu Jinlang didn’t speak, and slowly held his ankle upwards and pulled him to his side.

       Wen Jianing had to reach out and hold the sofa for support.

       Lu Jinlang grabbed Wen Jianing by the ankle and dragged him over, and said, “Are you not going to continue acting?”

       “What to continue?” Wen Jianing asked him.

       Lu Jinlang said, “Continue to talk to me in that tone you used just now.”

       Wen Jianing was annoyed and amused and asked him, “Say what?”

       Lu Jinlang lifted Wen Jianing’s feet, and even kissed them gently with his lips, saying, “For example, ‘don’t touch me’ or something…”

       “…” Wen Jianing suddenly was speechless, “Are you a pervert?” Despite what he said, Wen Jianing’s heart beat faster because of what he did just now.

       At this time, Lu Jinlang had already stretched out his hand to unzip his pants, unbuttoned them, and then grabbed one leg of his pants and pulled it out.

       Wen Jianing’s trousers were mostly loose, and as soon as Lu Jinlang pulled them, he quickly pulled off the trouser leg, revealing his underwear.

       As he looked down at his underwear, Wen Jianing remembered one thing. Xue You mostly used tight pants. He felt that he should think of something more convenient than stuffing socks.

       Lu Jinlang was a little surprised, “What are you thinking?” He didn’t understand why the other party could still be distracted in this situation.

       Wen Jianing raised his leg and tore off the other leg of his trousers freely, then stepped over Lu Jinlang’s leg and knelt in front of him, and said, “Look.”

       Lu Jinlang looked at the spaces between his legs, and after some thought, he said, “Very cute.”

       Wen Jianing didn’t bother to pay attention to him, and said, “Some of Xue’s pants are tight pants. I stuffed socks into them the last time I tried them on.”

       Lu Jinlang immediately understood what he meant. He reached out and pinched Wen Jianing’s little thing through his underwear and said, “The socks are not clean. Let’s think of other ways.”

       Wen Jianing waited for him to think of a solution.

       Lu Jinlang said, “I’ll find a way, and tomorrow I’ll ask Yunan to find out if there’s anything suitable.”

       Wen Jianing smiled, lowered his head to hug him and kissed him.

       Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand to hold his hip in one hand and reached under the hem of his clothes with the other.

       Wen Jianing remembered the request made by Lu Jinlang just now, and said in a perfunctory tone, “Don’t touch me.”

       Lu Jinlang was a little amused. He stretched out his hand to grab Wen Jianing’s shirt, pulled him down, kissed his lips, and said, “What if I have to touch it?”

       Wen Jianing heard the words, closed his eyes, looked nervous and shy, and said, “Well, whatever you say then.”

       As soon as he said that, Lu Jinlang rolled him over and pressed him onto the sofa.

       Two days later, Wen Jianing didn’t know from where, but Lu Jinlang managed to get him some underwear with a sponge cushion that wrapped his front comfortably. Even if he was only wearing underwear, it didn’t look unnatural.

       Wen Jianing was very satisfied.

       After the filming officially started, Wen Jianing entered the crew a few days later.

       All of his earlier scenes were filmed in a studio on the outskirts of the city. Most of his scenes were with the heroine Mu Huaqi in a small rental house shared by the two of them.

       Before the filming started, Wen Jianing went to say hello to director Cao Songquan.

       When Cao Songquan saw him, he just asked, “Fang Wei recommended you to me last time, right?”

       Wen Jianing said, “Yes, but Director Fang is speaking too highly of me.”

       Cao Songquan nodded and said nothing more.

       Wen Jianing’s first scene was when he went into the bathroom in his pyjamas at night, only to find a c0ckroach and ran out with a scream, then the heroine Mu Huaqi rushed in and killed the c0ckroach.

       This was a pretty long shot. Facing the bathroom door, in the middle of the shot was a living c0ckroach fixed on the faucet.

       Wen Jianing wore a set of pink pyjamas, with a towel around his neck, his hair was sprayed with water by the makeup artist, and his face which was patted with water was bright red.

       The director told him to twist his waist and walk inside, but in the first scene, he walked inside without making an exaggerated and deliberate gesture. Just like an ordinary girl, wearing slippers, walking slowly while dragging her steps.

       Cao Songquan kept staring at Wen Jianing on the monitor. The assistant director had planned to stop him, but he didn’t move. Because he could see clearly from the monitor, that the young man with red lips and white teeth, water dripping on his head, red cheeks, soft eyes, and that walking posture, really looked like a girl.

       Then he seemed to notice the bug on the faucet, frowned slightly, and looked closer, then his face seemed to turn pale in an instant, he gave a heartbreaking scream, turned and ran outside.

       The whole studio was quiet, and Mu Huaqi, who was supposed to rush into the bathroom, didn’t react. She was completely frightened by Wen Jianing’s scream.

       At this time, Cao Songquan can only shout, “Cut”.

       Everyone present was waiting for his response.

       Cao Songquan replayed the scene just now, and the assistant director whispered, “Would you like to tell him about how the scene should be?”

       Cao Songquan rubbed the stubble on his chin with one hand, shook his head, and said, “No, I would like to think about it.”

       The shooting was paused.

       Wen Tinghuan took a coat and put it on Wen Jianing, and said, “Is your voice hoarse? You scare me.”

       Wen Jianing smiled, “Isn’t that how you reacted when you saw a c0ckroach last time?”

       Wen Tinghuan said, “fvck off! Do you have nothing to do? Why are you peeking at me?”

       Wen Jianing said, “Ting jie, you are actually quite feminine.”

       When the filming started again, Cao Songquan said to Wen Jianing, “Just keep acting as you did just now. Huaqi, don’t freeze. Respond quickly.”

       So Wen Jianing wetted his hair again, this time there was a little more water, and the drops of water slid down his cheeks and dripped on the collarbone.

       The assistant director watched from the side and suddenly gulped.

       Wen Jianing walked through the scene again, and Cao Songquan stared hard at the monitor, making sure he didn’t bump into it but still did it anyway.

       Although there was a gap between this and his expected comedy effect, Cao Songquan felt that this kind of performance was also very good. He was not a director who followed the sleazy routes in directing. He also pursued the aesthetic and artistic sense of the film instead of being blindly cheesy and funny.

       In fact, it was of course not only Cao Songquan who noticed Wen Jianing’s acting skills but also the staff on the scene.

       After the scene was over, several people on the scene were talking in low voices, saying that Ke Xinhang really looked like a woman, and some people said that he seemed to be sexier than Mu Huaqi.

       Of course, this was somewhat due to the role setting. Xue You was originally a man who was more sassy than a woman.

       Cao Songquan called Wen Jianing over, and Cao Songquan asked him about his understanding of the character.

       Wen Jianing said, “I think he is a man who is a woman at heart. He will be a little bit coy in front of others. Because he has to withstand attacks from the outside world, he will make himself behave more exaggeratedly. The purpose is to conceal the damage caused by others’ attacks on him and to show his indifference. But he is just like an ordinary woman in private, especially when he is with a girlfriend who understands him.”

       Cao Songquan thought what he said was reasonable. He nodded all the time and finally asked Wen Jianing, “Did you study acting?”

       Wen Jianing shook his head, “I have acted in a TV series, and I have some experience.”

       Cao Songquan said, “I just finished that Chinese historical movie recently. I know my daughter is watching it too. No wonder Fang Wei wants to recommend you to me. It’s very good, young people are good. Develop well.”

       Wen Jianing smiled and said, “Thank you, Director Cao.”

       The first few scenes were filmed in that pyjamas.

       Wen Jianing sat on the sofa and painted his nails with Mu Huaqi. For this scene, he deliberately consulted young female employees in the company and learned nail painting techniques.

       After he finished painting the nails, he stretched out his hand, spread his five fingers and raised it in front of him to take a look. In the camera, his fingers are fair and slender, and his nails are clean and round. Then he bent his fingers carefully while listening to Mu Huaqi telling him about her spring dreams.

       Although Mu Huaqi was not very beautiful, she was a skilful actress. Her character was a simple girl who didn’t know how to dress up. She wore a T-shirt as pyjamas and her hair was messy. When she talked excitedly, she squeezed her hands into fists to block her face, and screamed, “What should I do—”

       Wen Jianing listened very seriously, accidentally took the nails that are still wet with nail polish to his mouth and took a bite. Then he was shocked and shouted, “My nails!” Then he frantically searched for nail polish remover.

       It was late at night when the filming of the first day ended.

       Wen Jianing felt very tired and almost went to sleep with his eyes closed when he got in the car.

       Only when he was driven to the gate of the neighbourhood, did Wen Tinghuan gently push him to wake him up, “We’ve arrived.”

       Wen Jianing opened his eyes and thanked her.

       When he got home, he thought Lu Jinlang had gone to bed, and he didn’t expect that there was still a light in the living room. Lu Jinlang was lying on the sofa holding a laptop and surfing the internet. When he saw him coming back, he got up and said, “I’ve cooked some food for you, and let me warm it up for you.”

       Lu Jinlang went into the kitchen.

       Wen Jianing stood in the living room and was stunned for a while. He followed him up to the kitchen and hugged Lu Jinlang’s waist from behind.

       Lu Jinlang patted his hand, “I have steamed two shrimp dumplings and they will be ready soon.”

       Wen Jianing leaned his head on Lu Jinlang’s shoulder, murmuring something, but his voice was too soft to be heard.

       Lu Jinlang asked him, “What?”

       He shook his head, closed his eyes and said, “It’s nothing.”
