        When Lu Jinxin saw Wen Jianing come out, he had no intention of staying. He asked Lu Jinlang to go back with him.

　　Before they left, Lu Jinlang kissed Wen Jianing’s face and said, “You don’t have to wait for me these two days. I will come back naturally when I want to.”

       Wen Jianing nodded and drove him to the door, “Take care of yourself.”

       After Lu Jinlang and Lu Jinxin left, he went into the bathroom to take shower.

       When he went to the company in the morning, Wen Jianing asked Zheng Xin to show him the script of Cao Songquan’s ‘Springtime Dream’. Zheng Xin also received instruction from Bai Shengzhe and waited for Wen Jianing to get the script.

　　”Looking for manager Bai?” Zheng Xin asked him.

　　He smiled, neither admitted nor denied.

　　’Springtime Dream’ was a romantic comedy in Cao Songquan’s style. The story was about the heroine’s active pursuit after falling in love with the male lead at first sight, and his invitation to Wen Jianing was for a very important supporting actor who was the heroine’s best friend. He was together with the heroine all day, went shopping, styling hair and painting nails, and helped the heroine to think of many ways to pursue the male lead.

　　The script was actually very interesting. The story also started happily and became touching in the later stage. That role has a lot of room to play. The only thing that made Wen Jianing bothered was his feminine character setting.

　　When Wen Lin walked into the lounge, he saw Wen Jianing reading a script. So he walked toward him, sat down and said, “Was I drunk yesterday?”

　　Wen Jianing glanced at him and said, “You and Yi Nan. One on the left is crying and one on the right is howling, you guys are killing me.”

　　Wen Lin sighed and raised his hand to cover his face.

　　These days, Wen Lin was taking performance classes every day, but he was not idle when he went back in the evening. He basically wrote songs when he had time. He hoped that his songs would be recognized and the company would give him the opportunity to release an album.

　　Wen Jianing knew, patted him on the shoulder and said, “If you think it’s meaningful, persist. Opportunities are always given to those who work hard.”

　　Wen Lin nodded seriously.

　　Wen Jianing suddenly remembered a question, he asked Wen Lin, “Do you think I look like a woman?”

　　Wen Lin looked at him upon hearing this and said, “No, I don’t.”

　　Wen Jianing rolled up the script in his hand and said, “What if I play a very feminine man?”

　　Wen Lin looked at him strangely, “You’ll act as if it’s a natural thing for you.”

　　After listening to him, Wen Jianing felt that he probably just overthinking things. He made up his mind, stood up, took the script and walked to Zheng Xin’s office.

　　When he heard that Wen Jianing was interested in doing the play, Zheng Xin nodded and said, “I also think this is a good opportunity, so give it a good performance. But I don’t dare to make a decision for you, wait until I’ve discussed it with Manager Bai.”

　　In fact, to discuss with Manager Bai meant to let Lu Jinlang behind Bai Shengzhe decide.

　　Wen Jianing didn’t say much, just said, “Thank you, Zheng ge.”

　　After Zheng Xin went to see Bai Shengzhe, Lu Jinlang contacted Wen Jianing. Lu Jinlang called him and asked, “You’ve decided?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Yes, I have.”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Well, as long as you are sure of your decision.”

　　About two days later, Zheng Xin told Wen Jianing that there was news from the film crew that the role had been set for him and he didn’t even need to do the audition.

　　“I don’t need to do an audition?” Wen Jianing was surprised.

　　Zheng Xin was also a little unsure, so he glanced at Wen Jianing one last time and said, “You can ask Mr. Lu about that.”

　　Although he only told Wen Tinghuan about his relationship with Lu Jinlang himself, since Wen Tinghuan knew it, it was impossible for Zheng Xin to not know it. But Zheng Xin never mentioned it in front of him.

　　In Zheng Xin’s view, Lu Jinlang was a very good resource. If he could use it, he’d better use it to the fullest. However, he wouldn’t take the initiative to ask Wen Jianing to do anything. After all, he was just an agent and knew how to be discreet.

　　In the end, Wen Jianing did not ask Lu Jinlang.

　　During this period, ‘The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix’ announced the finale. On the night when the ending was broadcasted, Lu Jinlang unexpectedly returned.

        “Is your mother getting better?” Wen Jianing asked.

　　While taking off his coat, Lu Jinlang looked at the scenes of ‘The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix’ aired on the TV and said, “She is now catching up with this drama. Yesterday, when she saw Ling Zhener slap Xiao Zongyan in the face and was put under house arrest, she cried.”

　　Wen Jianing was silent for a moment.

　　Lu Jinlang went on to say, “She insisted on pulling me and my second brother to accompany her to watch. My second brother is very grumpy. Now he probably hates you more and more.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “What that got to do with me…”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled, leaned over from behind the back of the sofa and hugged him. He asked, “Do you miss me?”

　　Wen Jianing turned his head and answered with a kiss instead.

　　That night, Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing watched the finale of the TV series together. At the end of the story, Ling Zhener fled the capital with the already demented Xiao Zongyi, and walked away in disguise, leaving Xiao Zongyan, who succeeded in the rebellion, to guard the cold country alone.

　　In the last scene of the TV series, Xiao Zongyan was riding a horse and looking into the distance in front of a cliff. His eyes were a little dazed. It was the time for him to be in a high spirit, but he was filled with unspeakable sadness and frustration.

　　Lu Jinlang suddenly said, “My mother would cry again when she sees your eyes. My second brother is still there today with her, he must be going crazy.”

　　Wen Jianing imagined the scene, and couldn’t help but smile.

　　It was also because of this scene that the hot topic “Zongyan don’t cry” appeared on Weibo, and countless girls felt distressed because of Wen Jianing’s expression in the last scene.

　　That night on the big bed in the bedroom, Wen Jianing felt Lu Jinlang’s movement were a bit intense.

　　It might have been caused by being separated for several days, but Wen Jianing still couldn’t help saying, “Be gentle.”

　　Lu Jinlang lowered his head and kissed his forehead. With sweat dripping on his face, he said, “I miss you.”

　　Wen Jianing heard the words, raised his head and searched for Lu Jinlang’s lips in the dark, and kissed them.

　　That night, Wen Jianing felt that he had been tossed a little too much. Fortunately, he was now a young man in his early twenties. If he was 34 or 35 years old, he would not be able to withstand such tossing.

　　But if it was him in the past, Lu Jinlang was probably not interested in tossing him. The next morning, Wen Jianing thought about it while brushing his teeth in the mirror.

　　After that, he officially signed a contract with the crew of ‘Springtime Dream’ to do the initial preparation of taking photos and costume fittings.

　　On the day of the fittings, Wen Tinghuan said to Wen Jianing, “You might be going to the box office for the movie this time. Do you know how popular you are now?”

　　”How popular?” Wen Jianing asked casually.

　　Wen Tinghuan said, “The media commented that you are a national female killer.”

　　Wen Jianing asked, “What is a national female killer?”

　　Wen Tinghuan said, “It includes girl killers, and lady killers. From seven to eight year old girls to seven or 80 year old women. There is no one who doesn’t bow down under your knees.”

　　Wen Jianing laughed.

　　Wen Tinghuan said, “My 6 years old niece said that she wanted to marry you after watching the TV series, and my sister-in-law even asked me to come to you for an autograph.”

　　Wen Jianing then said, “An autograph, right? Hurry up and I’ll sign it for you, so stop talking nonsense.”　　

　　Wen Jianing’s character in the movie ‘Springtime Dream’ was called Xue You. He was somewhat a bit of a fussy and gossipy character, but he was actually warm and kind.

　　And in the end, the male lead of the movie was determined to be Fang Mingdong, who was also a domestic first-line actor. He was tall and handsome and fit the character image in the movie.

　　In order to conform to the character’s image, Wen Jianing started to keep his hair longer after he was chosen. His hair was relatively soft, so even if he did not deliberately style it, it looked very soft. Coupled with his bangs, he looks like a high school student in an instant.

　　And the dress he tried on was a loose low-neck sweater with a wide neckline and black tight leather pants below.

　　When he got the costume, Wen Jianing was torn for a moment, but he still went into the dressing room to change.

　　After putting on the leather pants, he looked down at the crotch and felt that it was too flat. After hesitating for a while, he tucked some socks in, adjusted them for a long time, and when he felt that they looked curved but not exaggerated. Then he walked out.

　　 There was a shot in the makeup photo test that day, which was taken with him sitting on the ground and the camera was aiming at him from top to bottom. In order to show his feminine character, he put his hands in front of his chest and looked up.

　　In that photo, his collarbone can be clearly seen from under the loose collar. The fingers of both hands are slender and fair, and the bangs slightly cover his eyes. He was clearly a handsome young man.

　　There was also a photo of him applying lipstick in front of the mirror. The lipstick was bright red. He lowered his head slightly, half of the lipstick was being applied, and his eyes were pointed towards the camera. He suddenly looked a little more gorgeous and enchanting.

　　After the photo was taken, Wen Ting Huan walked in front of him with her arms on her chest and “tsked” twice.

　　Wen Jianing was going to change clothes, and said to her, “Don’t be weird.”

　　Wen Tinghuan said, “More women than me.”

　　Wen Jianing looked at her exaggeratedly, “So you are a woman?”

　　”You wanna die?!” Wen Tinghuan was so angry that she almost kicked him.

　　 On the way back, Wen Tinghuan said to him, “By the way, I almost forgot to tell you something. Xu Rujing is getting married, and the invitation for you was sent to the company.”

　　  “Married, huh” Wen Jianing suddenly sighed.

　　 Wen Tinghuan said, “Yes, at that time when you were in competition and Xu Rujing was still a judge, it is still considered as a friendship. The company’s Manager Bai will also participate. You need to prepare your own red envelopes.*”

　　 Wen Jianing mumbled, and said, “Lu Jinlang is going to go too.”

　　 Wen Tinghuan drove the car back to the office, and Wen Jianing drove his own car back to Lu Jin Lang’s apartment. On the way back, he noticed a car following him behind. In fact, this was not the first time it happened. Ever since the ‘The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix’ was broadcasted, he had become popular and would be followed by fans or reporters from time to time. It was no longer a secret that he lived in this apartment now.

　　 There was even news in the Gossip Weekly, saying that Ke Xinhang bought a famous car and bought a luxury mansion after he became popular. They also pointed out that this neighbourhood was a high-end neighbourhood, and the Film Emperor Lu Jinlang also had a house in this neighbourhood.

　　However, they could only catch up to the door of the neighbourhood at most. And since Wen Jianing drove his car into the parking lot, no one would know which building and floor he lives in.

　　Lu Jinlang also received Xu Rujing’s invitation, and Xu Rujing personally gave it to him.

　　”Are you going?” Wen Jianing asked him.

　　Lu Jinlang nodded, “Of course.”

　　Both of them would go at that time. Unfortunately, they couldn’t go together and they could only go there separately.

　　Xu Rujing’s wedding day was naturally crowded with many celebrities and famous people. Her husband was also a well-known businessman. He married Xu Rujing shortly after his divorce, and he also had a 15-year-old daughter.

　　The wedding was in a traditional Chinese banquet. Xu Rujing, wearing a wedding dress, personally greeted the guests at the gate, and all reporters were turned away outside the gate.

　　Wen Jianing was just a small character on this occasion. Xu Rujing thanked him and asked the welcoming waiter to take him in. Everyone’s seats were arranged in advance. Wen Jianing went into the banquet hall, followed the waiter to the next table and saw Yi Nan. However, Wen Lin and Xu Rujing weren’t particularly close, thus he was not invited.

　　Wen Jianing sat down beside Yi Nan, and he found that there was a middle-aged woman sitting beside Yi Nan. Although the woman was not young, one could still see that her facial features were exquisite and elegant. The woman turned out to be Yi Nan’s mother, Yun Shuying. Seeing the Cloud Beauty, Wen Jianing naturally greeted her politely. Unexpectedly, Yun Shuying actually said to Wen Jianing that she had watched his TV series and liked him very much.

　　While they were talking, Wen Jianing saw Lu Jinlang coming.

　　Lu Jinlang’s status was naturally different from his. He saw Xu Rujing’s husband personally send Lu Jinlang in and arranged for him to sit down at the table in the middle of the front.

　　Xu Rujing had been in the entertainment industry for so many years. Compared with Jiang Yongfei’s birthday banquet, the whole banquet hall had gathered more than half of the major domestic artists. Those who were not available to come also sent a special gift to congratulate them. After Lu Jinlang, Wen Jianing saw Li Rong and Yang Wenchong and the others also came to the wedding.

　　Yang Wenchong still brought an unknown young model, but Li Rong came alone without a female companion.

　　However, Lu Jinxin did not appear.

　　Wen Jianing unconsciously looked over to Lu Jinlang’s side. Li Rong walked over to talk to him. After the two said a few words, Lu Jinlang looked up and looked in Wen Jianing’s direction. Li Rong also looked over, raised his hand and greeted Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Jianing thought that Lu Jinlang didn’t notice him when he came in, so he couldn’t help but smile.

　　Yi Nan snorted,  “Why don’t you go and sit there?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I’m not qualified to do that.”

　　The guests came one after another, and the wedding officially began.

　　Until the next morning, Lu Jinlang was still nowhere to be seen.

　　In the morning, Wen Lin’s assistant, Zhu Zexin, called Wen Jianing and told him that Wen Lin was being a little stubborn over nothing and wanted Wen Jianing to persuade Wen Lin.

　　Wen Jianing agreed to help Zhu Zexin. He held the phone in his hand, and Wen Jianing was hesitating on how to speak to Wen Lin. At this time, he heard the sound of the key opening the door. He thought it was Lu Jinlang who had come back, and quickly walked out of the bedroom to have a look, but he didn’t expect that the person who came was Lu Yunan.

       “Yunan?” Wen Jianing was a little surprised.

　　Lu Yunan greeted him, and then said, “I’m helping Mr. Lu to get some clothes. His mother is sick and he may not be able to come back for a while.”

　　”Oh,” Wen Jianing stood there and was a little taken aback. He then said to Lu Yunan, “Let me help you.”

　　Lu Yunan then took the clothes and left immediately.

　　Wen Jianing wondered if he should call Lu Jinlang. In fact, in this case, it would be more polite for him to visit personally, but given his relationship with Lu Jinlang, he was afraid of causing trouble after he went. Moreover, Lu Jinlang had no intention of telling him at all.

　　Wen Jianing held the phone hesitantly, and in the end, he didn’t call.

　　That night, Wen Jianing invited Yi Nan and Wen Lin to a bar for a drink.

　　They went to the Red Forest, the bar where Ke Xinhang used to sing. If it weren’t for the bar owner Su Shan, Wen Jianing might not be where he was today, and would still hesitate whether he was willing to take this path or not.

　　After the competition, he kept in touch with Su Shan. Although he didn’t win the competition, he never forgot his promise to Su Shan and said that he would return to the bar to hold a concert. But Su Shan calmly refused, saying that there was no need to do that and wished for him to develop well.

　　It seemed that it had been a long time since he last went here.

　　When he saw Su Shan again, Su Shan just patted him on the shoulder, and then arranged a quiet place for him in a corner. The lights were dim, and no one noticed them.

　　Wen Jianing called Wen Lin to listen to the song. As for Yi Nan, it was purely to accompany them.

　　Yu Jing, a female singer who worked at the same time as Ke Xinhang, was still singing here, and the people in the band were still the same.

　　Wen Jianing said to Wen Lin, “This is the day if you want to sing freely. How are you feeling?”

　　Wen Lin actually knew what Wen Jianing wanted to say. He sat quietly, picked up his wine glass, and said to Wen Jianing, “We’re in a bar right now. Let’s just drink and not talk about that. I’ll figure it out somehow.”

　　Wen Jianing picked up the glass and clinked it with him, and Yi Nan also took his wine glass and clinked with them.

　　After drinking, Wen Jianing looked at Yi Nan with a smile, and said, “Actually, the three of us can form a combination.”

　　Yi Nan looked disgusted, “Who wants to be in a group with you.”

　　Wen Jianing smiled and stretched out his hand to put his shoulder on him, “Come on, don’t say that. We are brothers.”

　　Yi Nan snorted coldly and said nothing more.

　　Wen Jianing then stood up to go to the bathroom. On the way to the bathroom, he passed a young woman. The woman stopped and looked back at him. He thought he was recognized, he smiled at her, and then continued to walk inside.

　　When Wen Jianing came out, he saw Su Shan waiting for him outside not far away.

　　”Let’s have a chat,” Su Shan said to him.

　　The two found a quiet place, Su Shan said straightforwardly, “You don’t know that woman just now?”

　　Su Shan’s tone was obviously not to question him, but he seemed to want to affirm something. For a moment, Wen Jianing wanted to pretend not to understand, but it was impossible. He flatly said, “I don’t want to think about the past.”

　　Su Shan surprisingly smiled when he heard this. He lit a cigarette for himself and said, “You didn’t know that woman.”

　　Wen Jianing also smiled. He felt that it was not surprising that Su Shan could see it. After all, the only acquaintance of Ke Xinhang that Wen Jianing knew was Su Shan. His knowledge of Ke Xinhang, except for Ke Xinhang’s diary, came from Su Shan, who knew Ke Xinhang better than him.

　　Even if Wen Jianing didn’t come to the Red Forest today, Su Shan probably felt something was wrong when he saw him on the program and on TV interviews.

　　But so what? This incident was originally the one thing Wen Jianing was least afraid of. Who could prove that he was not Ke Xinhang but Wen Jianing? He thanked him for realizing it too late. Even if Su Shan went for a DNA test now, his flesh and blood all belonged to Ke Xinhang.

　　Su Shan was a smart man. Of course, he wouldn’t say it to everyone, but even if Su Shan were to talk about it, no one would probably believe it. They would only think that there was something wrong with his head.

　　Wen Jianing asked Su Shan for a cigarette and said softly, “If I said I am not Ke Xinhang, would you believe it?”

　　Su Shan didn’t say anything.

　　Wen Jianing took the cigarette and said, “It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, I am not Ke Xinhang, but I can only continue to live as Ke Xinhang onwards.”

　　Su Shan asked him, “Is it a story that I can’t understand?”

　　Wen Jianing nodded.

　　Su Shan didn’t mean to press on. After staying quiet for a few moments he then asked, “What about the original Xinhang?”

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

　　Su Shan was not a curious person. He could let go of problems that others didn’t understand, and he had always limited interest in other people’s lives.

　　The conversation did not continue at this point.

　　Wen Jianing returned to his seat and drank with Wen Lin, Yi Nan and the others. Afterwards, both of them were drunk, and he was the only one that was sober.

　　Unable to drag the two back together, Wen Jianing had to call Wen Tinghuan and ask Wen Tinghuan to find a car to pick them up.

　　Su Shan arranged for them to leave from the alley behind the bar. As soon as Yi Nan went out, he threw up in front of the trash can. Wen Jianing asked Su Shan to help him to support Wen Lin and went to see Yi Nan by himself.

　　After Yi Nan vomited out, he looked up at the sky a little dazedly, and said, “It’s really boring.”

　　”What’s boring?” Wen Jianing asked him.

　　Yi Nan said, “I thought everything was going too well.”

　　He thought everything was too beautiful. He always thought that even if he was just an unknown person in the past, but as long as he made a song and shot some movie, he could be popular all over the country. As a result, he had only now realized that he was still too naive.

　　Wen Jianing supported him and said, “That’s why you have to keep your feet on the ground.”

　　To keep working hard and accumulate as much experience as possible, these were the words Wen Jianing had said the most in interviews before, and they were also a summary of his own experience.

　　Wen Tinghuan drove up in the car and honked the horn at the entrance of the alley to let them get in the car.

　　Su Shan helped Wen Lin and Yi Nan get into the car, and then waved goodbye to Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Tinghuan saw the appearance of Yi Nan and Wen Lin, and said angrily, “You guys trying to be in a gossip magazine, huh?”

　　Wen Jianing spread his hands, “I just bought them a drink. I didn’t ask them to drink that much, and I still feel distressed about the money.”

　　Wen Tinghuan looked at the two people in the rearview mirror, shook his head, and said, “How big is the matter actually? It was just like this but they can’t help feeling beaten up. How can they continue in this business like this?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “They are still too young and too idealistic.”

　　Wen Tinghuan glanced at him, “Aren’t you young too? You sound like you are seventy or eighty.”

　　Wen Jianing smiled and didn’t say anything.

　　Wen Jianing sent Yi Nan and Wen Lin back together with Wen Tinghuan. Because he felt bad for making a woman like Wen Tinghuan drive him back so late, he took a taxi back.

　　The taxi driver kept looking at him from the rearview mirror and asked, “Are you Ke Xinhang?”

　　Wen Jianing denied, and said, “I am not. Do you think I look like him?”

　　The driver looked again and said, “Oh, you look exactly the same.”

　　It was already one o’clock in the morning when Wen Jianing got home. It was also because he thought that Lu Jinlang wouldn’t be here for the next few days that he asked Wen Lin and Yi nan to go out for a drink.

　　But when he returned to the bedroom and turned on the ceiling light, he noticed that Lu Jinlang was actually lying on the bed.

　　Lu Jinlang was not asleep. He sat up and asked, “You’re back?”

　　Wen Jianing was surprised for a while, and then said, “Why are you back? Yunan came to pack your clothes today. I thought you won’t be back for a few days.”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled, looking a little tired, “I was free tonight and wanted to come back and see you.”

　　Wen Jianing went to the bed and sat down and asked, “Is your mother feeling better?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “It’s nothing. It’s just an old people’s sickness. She fainted when playing mahjong with someone yesterday afternoon. She called me along with my eldest brother and second elder brother back, and a large family to surround her to feel comfortable.”

　　Wen Jianing heard the words and said, “It’s good that she’s okay.”

　　Lu Jinlang got closer, smelled the cigarette and alcohol on Wen Jianing, and asked, “Have you been out drinking?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I went to the bar with Yi Nan and Wen Lin in the evening, the one I used to sing.” As he said that he stood up, turned off the ceiling light and turned on a soft night light. “Go lie down. I’ll take a shower first.”

　　After taking a quick shower in the bathroom, Wen Jianing returned to the room with his body still hot from the shower steam and lay down next to Lu Jinlang.

　　Lu Jinlang reached out and hugged his waist.

　　”Not asleep yet?” Wen Jianing asked, covering the hand Lu Jinlang was holding with his right hand, clasping his fingers.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Are you taking advantage of me being away to go out and drink with your friends?”

　　Wen Jianing did have this thought in mind. He didn’t deny it, and said, “That’s right, you really never go out when you are here.”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled and said nothing.

　　Wen Jianing remembered the two movies that Zheng Xin had told him about, and asked Lu Jinlang, “I heard Zheng Xin say that there are two movies now. And the company is helping me consider which one to choose?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “I’m reading the script.”

　　”What movie is it?” Wen Jianing asked him.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “One is a low-cost thriller movie and they want you to play the leading role, and the other is a comedy directed by Cao Songquan. The heroine is played by Mu Huaqi. The male lead role is undecided, and the role is actually a supporting role, but you need to do an audition.”

　　Wen Jianing asked, “What kind of role?”

　　Lu Jinlang looked at him and said, “I think none of them are very good, or just wait a little longer.”

　　Wen Jianing stood up and looked at Lu Jinlang lying on the bed. He looked at him strangely, “Do you think Cao Songquan’s movie is not good?”

　　Cao Songquan was the director who listened to Fang Wei recommending Wen Jianing to him before. His comedy should have a good investment behind him, and Mu Huaqi was also a first-line domestic actress. He felt there was no reason not to take this film.

　　”It’s not that the film is bad,” Lu Jinlang said frankly, “It’s the role that is bad.”

　　Wen Jianing didn’t understand, and waited for Lu Jinlang to speak carefully.

　　Lu Jinlang said to him, “That character is a man with a gender identity disorder. To be straightforward he is a sissy.”

　　Wen Jianing suddenly became silent and looked at Lu Jinlang silently.

　　Lu Jinlang reached out and pressed his head, kissed his lips, and said, “It’s okay, I’ll ask Bai Shengzhe to reject it for you.”

　　Wen Jianing grabbed his hand and said, “Let me think about it.”

　　Actually, he didn’t mind it that much. Although his voice and appearance were a bit feminine, Wen Jianing didn’t seem delicate or feminine at all, and no audience would think of him in that way. But Wen Jianing was still a little concerned, just like Lu Jinlang’s first reaction to reject the offer. He felt that because his body was incomplete and that he was not a man that the role fits him. For a man, the sissy role was really a serious personal attack.

　　Cao Songquan asked him to play this role, it must have something to do with his appearance, and not because he had any other ideas.

　　But Lu Jinlang was being so considerate about him for fear that he would mind.

　　But why should he mind? Most domestic low-cost thrillers were poorly produced. Them inviting him to perform was because they wanted to use his popularity to drive them to the box office, and Wen Jianing was not very interested. But Cao Songquan’s love comedies were different. Cao Songquan’s production had been guaranteed to enter box office and would have good quality.

　　Wen Jianing said to Lu Jinlang, “Show me the script and let me think about it again.”

　　Lu Jinlang touched Wang Jianing’s back and suddenly said, “Take off your clothes.”

　　Wen Jianing was originally wearing long sleeved pajamas. He was bewildered, and thought that it was strange that Lu Jinlang was still interested even when it’s already so late. However, he still took off all of his pajamas, leaving only a pair of underwear and asked Lu Jinlang, “Aren’t you tired today?”

　　Lu Jinlang himself was wearing only underwear, stretched out his hands to hug him, his bare chests pressed against each other, and then said, “I am. That’s why I want to hold you.”

　　When Wen Jianing heard him say that, his heart fluttered a little, and he leaned his head on Lu Jinlang’s shoulder.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “It’s okay. If you don’t mind just go ahead and try the role. No one will associate anything with it.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I know.”

　　Just when the sun was about to rise, Wen Jianing felt that Lu Jinlang loosened his hands and wanted to get up. He almost subconsciously reached out to hug Lu Jinlang tightly, not wanting him to get up. After doing this, Wen Jianing instantly sobered up. Now, he felt a little bit funny, and felt that he was really like a child as Lu Jinlang said, so he loosened the grip of his hand again.

　　Lu Jinlang asked him, “You don’t want me to go?” His tone was obviously happy.

　　Wen Jianing raised his hand and ruffled his messy hair, and asked him, “Are you going to go back?”

　　Before Lu Jinlang answer, the doorbell rang suddenly.

　　Wen Jianing looked at him strangely, “Who could it be so early in the morning?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “I’ll go take a look.”

　　When he went out, he reached out and closed the bedroom door. Wen Jianing hesitated and did not get up and continued to lie down.

　　The soundproofing effect of the room was very good, Wen Jianing could only vaguely hear the sound of someone talking, and then a footstep comes in the direction of the room. The footsteps were heavy and fast, and Wen Jianing subconsciously raised the quilt to cover himself. At the same time, the door was opened forcefully.

　　Standing in front of the door was a tall man. His appearance was seven to eight points similar to Lu Jinlang. He was not as handsome as Lu Jinlang, but his features were more determined, and he was half a head taller than Lu Jinlang.

　　Wen Jianing sat up and looked at him while pulling the quilt. He more or less guessed the identity of the person.

　　The man frowned and looked at Wen Jianing, and said, “What a mess.”

　　Lu Jinlang followed closely, looking uncomfortable, and said, “Second brother, you’re going too far.” He reached out and grabbed the door handle to close the door.

　　The man, who was Lu Jinlang’s second brother, Lu Jinxin snorted coldly, and said, “He is a man. Can’t you see it?”

　　If it weren’t for his physical condition, Wen Jianing would really like to lift the quilt and stand up and let him look at him casually. However, at this time, he could only sit on the bed and say, “I guess Mr. Lu is not used to knocking when entering other people’s rooms?”

　　At this time, Lu Jinlang exerted some strength in his hand, forcibly closed the door and pulled Lu Jinxin to the outside.

　　As he saw the door closed, Wen Jianing immediately got up and went to the wardrobe to find some clothes to wear. After he got dressed, he opened the door and went out. He heard Lu Jinlang and his brother talking in the living room, so he walked towards the living room.

　　Lu Jinxin sat on the sofa with his long legs stretched forward. One of his hands was on the armrest of the sofa and the other finger was holding a cigarette. He was looking at Lu Jinlang coldly.

　　Lu Jinlang sat on the armrest of the sofa opposite him and said, “This is my private life.”

　　Lu Jinxin sneered, “Private life? Your messy private life should also be restrained. Did you know Mom was looking for you everywhere last night?”

　　Lu Jinlang didn’t answer. He noticed that Wen Jianing had come, so he asked, “You are not going back to sleep?”

　　Wen Jianing walked to his side.

　　Lu Jinlang naturally held his hand.

　　Lu Jinxin glanced at their interlocked hands and took a hard drag on the cigarette in his hand.

　　Lu Jinlang said to Wen Jianing, “There is no breakfast today. You can either get something to eat by yourself, or go out to eat.”

　　Wen Jianing nodded, “It’s okay, I’ll just go out to eat.”

　　Lu Jinxin didn’t seem to be happy. His voice sounded very cold and hard, and then he said, “If you just want to play around, I won’t interfere. But know your limit and don’t let our mother know.”

　　Lu Jinlang heard the words and said, “You’d better figure out how to tell mom that you are going to divorce second sister in law.”

　　Lu Jinxin’s complexion was a little gloomy.

       After Wen Jianing repeatedly teased Lu Jinlang a few times, Lu Jinlang reached out his hand to clasp his head and kissed him heavily.

       He put his arms around Lu Jinlang’s head and deepened his kiss. At the same time, his legs naturally parted to kneel on the edge of the bed.

       Lu Jinlang pinched Wen Jianing’s ass with his hands.

       He began to pant as he sat on Lu Jinlang’s lap, and the lower part of his body pressed close to him.

      They’ve reached this point, so the two of them had sex with each other before eating dinner to mark the beginning of their cohabitation.

       This time Lu Jinlang didn’t wear a condom.

       Wen Jianing was a little bit hesitant at first, but then it occurred to him that their private lives were very clean, and there seemed to be no problem.

       It was just that it was troublesome to clean up afterwards.

       Wen Jianing came out of the shower, and Lu Jinlang was already cooking in the kitchen.

       Today, he cooked Chinese food, fried two small dishes and boiled a soup. It was simple yet exquisite.

       During the meal, Wen Jianing felt a little hungry and couldn’t help but eat two more bowls. After the meal, Lu Jinlang still took the bowl and went to the kitchen to wash it.

       Wen Jianing felt a little embarrassed and said to Lu Jinlang, “Let me do the dishes.”

       But Lu Jinlang smiled and said, “It’s fine.”

       Starlight TV continued to broadcast ‘The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix’ at the pace of one episode a day. In the evening, Wen Jianing sat on the sofa and read a book, but Lu Jinlang watched his TV series with great interest.

       Wen Jianing in historical costume looked very handsome. In fact, if it was just based on Wen Jianing’s appearance, Xiao Zongyan’s cunning and insidious character were not suitable for him, but his acting skills have portrayed this character on point.

       There was a poll on the internet about the TV series, asking which character felt the closest to the original work. As a result, Wen Jianing’s Xiao Zongyan was far ahead. This similarity did not come from the similarity in appearance, but it dawned on them after watching his performance, oh, the original Xiao Zongyan was like this, and not the original one they thought he was.

       At the moment, the TV series was still playing the first few episodes. Xiao Zongyan was nothing but a playboy prince who was known to be a pest in the capital. Xiao Zongyan was fighting insects and catching birds all the time, making the whole palace restless. He acted in most of the scenes with  Yuan Qian as Ling Zhener and Wen Lin as Xiao Zongyi.

       Wen Lin couldn’t act properly for the first time, but fortunately, Xiao Zongyi was originally an introverted person. The character’s joy and anger was not visible, making Wen Lin’s lack of acting skill less apparent. However, Ling Zhener was a lively character by nature, and due to Yuan Qian’s limited expressive power, she failed to portray the character’s character well. Many people commented on the Internet that she was a stiff person, especially when she was with Xiao Zongyan.

       However, all kinds of comments on the Internet, whether they were praise or insults, couldn’t stop the rhythm of the show’s popularity at all.

       In order to facilitate the publicity of the TV series, Wen Tinghuan helped Wen Jianing to register on Weibo in the name of Ke Xinhang, but Wen Jianing was not willing to explore Weibo. He went to see Wen Jianing’s Weibo in the past. The last message was sent by his agent announcing his death. He predicted that the password hadn’t changed, but he didn’t dare to go up again.

       As for Ke Xinhang’s Weibo, in addition to forwarding TV series promotions, he didn’t post any private status, but it still attracted many people’s attention instantly. Every time he reposted on Weibo, it will receive a large number of comments and reposts.

       Wen Jianing felt another form of great popularity, which was different from the past when he slowly settled and finally gained the recognition of the audience. This time it was an overnight hit. It was more the worship and admiration of young girls, instead of the recognition of his acting skills.

       During this period, Wen Jianing and Wen Lin recorded another entertainment show to promote the TV series.

       This time it was a talk show. Wen Jianing and Wen Lin sat on a comfortable sofa and chatted with the host in a relaxed tone.

       Because Wen Lin was relatively silent, Wen Jianing had to take up most of the topics.

       The host asked him, “Do you have anything to say about starting out as a singer, but becoming popular after becoming an actor?”

       Wen Jianing smiled and said, “When I participated in the competition before, Mr. Lu Jinlang, who was a judge at the time, said that my acting skills were good. Later, I thought, maybe I was more suitable for acting.”

       The audience laughed warmly.

       The host also smiled and asked, “Didn’t you feel at the time that this statement was a blow to you?”

       Wen Jianing said, “Sometimes a blow is also an incentive, and now is it not also confirmed that what Mr. Lu Jinlang said is right?”

       For some questions about the TV series, the host decided to mention the rumours about their disagreement with Yuan Qian during the recording of the entertainment show.

       Wen Jianing said, “We and Ms. Yuan Qian are not in disagreement. We were very happy during the filming. The relationship between the crew is also very good. We usually go out to eat or eat together when we have nothing to do.”

       The host asked him, “Then what do you think of Yuan Qian?”

       Wen Jianing said, “A very simple and beautiful girl.”

       Hearing that he didn’t comment on Yuan Qian’s acting skills, the host did not follow up and asked Wen Jianing and Wen Lin respectively, “Now since the ratings of ‘The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix’ is very good, and the response on the internet is also great. What’s your next plan? Do you plan to make a sequel?”

       Wen Lin said, “There is no specific plan yet. If there is a chance, I hope to release an album.”

       Wen Jianing said, “The TV series has just started, and it is too early to talk about the sequel. I still plan to settle down and work on my acting.”

       “Do you need to practice acting?” asked the host.

       “Of course,” said Wen Jianing, “Because you will have a lot of ideas, but you don’t have the ability to fully express your ideas. It requires time and experience. If you act more, you can look back and see what your expression is in what scene, whether it is appropriate or not, and how to express it in this case next time, which is worth pondering and concentrating on.”

       The host nodded and asked him, “So you like Wen Jianing very much, don’t you? I heard that before, you performed a song and dance in the film in Wen Jianing’s memorial activities?”

       Wen Jianing nodded, and after a few moments of silence he said, “I think he is a good actor.” He didn’t like to say praises about himself in this form, but he always thought he was a good actor or at least a qualified actor.

       At the end of the talk show, the host asked the two of them, “You made your debut together on Starlight’s Voice of the Soul singing competition program, and now you’re filming together. I heard that your relationship is very good, is that right?”

       Wen Jianing looked at Wen Lin with a smile, and said, “Yes, I like him very much.”

       Wen Lin also smiled.

       There were young female members in the audience screaming with excitement that could not be suppressed. Because the studio environment was quiet, they were embarrassed after screaming, and they quickly covered their mouths.

       Wen Jianing looked at them and said, “What? What’s wrong with what I said? Why are you so excited?”

       Of course, no one would answer him.

       After the interview, the host got up and shook hands with them and took a photo together.

       Many audience members came to the stage to ask for autographs. Wen Jianing and Wen Lin fulfilled their request one by one.

       It had been two weeks since the official broadcast of this talk show. At that time, ‘The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix’ had broadcasted one-third of their series. Xiao Zongyan gradually began to show his true colours. He was no longer just the prince who idly spent all day like how it was in the beginning. The young man began to become ruthless and cold.

       Whenever Wen Jianing restrained his expression and showed his deep and shrewd gaze, he made many young girls’ hearts skip a beat.

       Every day, at the end of an episode of the TV series, someone would post pictures on the internet, and the girl who posted on Weibo would yell “The health bar is empty.*” And followed by all screenshots of Xiao Zongyan played by Wen Jianing, which caused a lot of reposts.

       Lu Jinlang followed the TV series episodes every day. That day, he suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch Wen Jianing’s jaw and made him look up at him.

       “?” Wen Jianing was not sure what Lu Jinlang wanted, so he put the tablet beside him.

       Lu Jinlang said, “I was thinking that if Xiao Zongyan really existed, he would probably be very pleasurable to fvck.”

       Wen Jianing turned his head and looked at the TV screen, and said, “If Xiao Zongyan really exists, I guess you won’t be able to fvck him.”

       Lu Jinlang smiled, “You can let me keep a little fantasy..”

       “What fantasy?” Wen Jianing asked him, “Imagining me as Xiao Zongyan?”

       As he said that, he stretched out his foot to press between Lu Jinlang’s legs, “Does it turn you on more?”

       Unexpectedly, Lu Jinlang denied it. He said, “You misunderstood. It is because Xiao Zongyan is you that I feel turned on.”

       Lu Jinlang was indeed sexually aroused.

       The two of them didn’t do it every day, but they often fvck when Lu Jinlang was excited. Wen Jianing planned to be a qualified pretty boy**. As long as Lu Jinlang requested, he would never refuse, even if he was already tired.

       But Lu Jinlang was also a considerate person. As long as Wen Jianing looked a little tired, he would never force it.

       So their sex life was very harmonious.

       Wen Jianing felt very comfortable living with Lu Jinlang, and the two of them hardly had any conflicts. Even when Wen Jianing lived with Wen Cuilan when he was a child, he was not as comfortable as he was with Lu Jinlang.

       And so, that night, Lu Jinlang didn’t even finish watching the TV series. He proceeded to pin Wen Jianing on the sofa.

       Wen Jianing was halfway done and suddenly asked Lu Jinlang, “Are you fantasizing about Xiao Zongyan?”

       Lu Jinlang couldn’t help laughing. He hugged Wen Jianing and let him sit on him.

       Wen Jianing reached out to touch Lu Jinlang’s chest because he felt the vibration of Lu Jinlang’s chest when he was laughing. He didn’t know why, but he kind of liked how it felt.

       Lu Jinlang said, “I’m not fantasizing about anyone. When I hold you, I can’t think of others.”

       Wen Jianing looked at Lu Jinlang’s deep and soft eyes. When you were being gazed at by him, you would always have the illusion of being loved by him.

       Yan Ruowei drowned himself in this illusion.

       But Wen Jianing didn’t want to drown, so he raised his hand to cover Lu Jinlang’s eyes, pulled out his emotions, and said in his ear, “Don’t look at my face, I am not Xiao Zongyan. I am me, and I am nobody else. Come and feel me.”

       Lu Jinlang was silent for a moment, then hugged Wen Jianing’s waist, and his thrust became more intense.

       The next morning, Wen Jianing was called to the company by Zheng Xin.

       While waiting in the lounge, he lay down on the table, feeling a little sore in his waist. This is the price of excessive indulgence, he thought to himself.

       When Wen Lin came in, Wen Jianing waved to him and said, “Come on, massage my waist.”

       Wen Lin walked over and stood behind him and stretched out his hand to help him massage his waist.

       Wen Jianing let out a comfortable sigh.

       It happened that Yi Nan also pushed the door in. When he heard Wen Jianing groaning softly, he was so scared that he almost closed the door immediately. After he saw the situation inside, he said angrily, “What are you doing?”

       Wen Lin innocently said, “Xinhang had a backache and I’m massaging him.”

       Yi Nan glared at them, walked over and sat down far away from Wen Jianing as if he was a plague.

       Wen Jianing ignored him. He was thinking inexplicably in his heart that since he and Lu Jinlang moved in together, Lu Jinlang didn’t like to wear condoms anymore.

       Since Lu Jinlang’s private life was clean, it didn’t matter if he cum inside Wen Jianing once or twice. But since that one time, Lu Jinlang seemed to have no intention of wearing a condom at all. Wen Jianing understood that men didn’t like wearing condoms in order to pursue a sense of pleasure and conquest, but Wen Jianing felt that there was some trouble in cleaning afterwards. Lu Jinlang was not the kind of person who just left after finishing, so the cleaning up matter was not just his trouble alone.

       But this was not a big deal. Wen Jianing struggled for a while and decided it was better not to dwell on it.

       During this process, Yi Nan kept watching him and couldn’t help but said, “What disgusting thing are you thinking about?”

       Wen Jianing turned his head strangely. He felt that he didn’t show anything on his face. How could it become a disgusting thing? So he asked, “It’s disgusting to make love without a condom?”

       Yi Nan almost flipped the table, “Who cares whether you wear a condom or not!”

       Wen Lin’s hand massaging Wen Jianing’s waist became too excessive, and Wen Jianing screamed in agony when Wen Lin pinched Wen Jianing, and he hurriedly asked him to let go.

       At this time, Wen Tinghuan came in, clapped her hands and said, “Comrades, get ready for the meeting!”

       Yi Nan was still angry and said, “Who is a comrade?” But he still stood up and followed Wen Tinghuan outside.

       Wen Tinghuan greeted Wen Lin, “Wen Lin is coming too. Zheng laoshi has something to tell you two.”

       Wen Lin asked strangely, “The two of us?”

       Wen Tinghuan said, “Yes, you and Yi Nan. Xinhang has other arrangements.”

       Wen Lin glanced at Wen Jianing, who patted him on the back, “Go ahead.”

       Yi Nan and Wen Lin went to see Zheng Xin first, and Zheng Xin explained to them their next work arrangements. The company planned to continue to invest in TV series, and followed the route of ‘The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix’ to find a well-known online novel or game to adapt the script. They were going to adapt the plot of the dual male lead, starring Yi Nan and Wen Lin.

       Yi Nan couldn’t help clenching his fist with one hand. He felt that this was his chance.

       But Wen Lin stood up suddenly, “Why is it still a TV series?”

       Zheng Xin asked him, “Do you have any plans for yourself?”

       Wen Lin said, “I want to sing.”

       “The TV drama theme song,” Zheng Xin told him without hesitation.

       Wen Lin shook his head, “I want to sing my own song.”

       Zheng Xin said to him, “It’s not going to work.”

       Wen Lin looked at Zheng Xin and wanted to say something, but he didn’t know how to say it.

       Zheng Xin said, “I’m not denying your talent in music, but the road now is too difficult for you to walk on. The company is not willing to make this kind of investment for you yet. Do you understand?”

       Wen Lin sat down slowly in silence.

       Zheng Xin said, “The series is still in the planning stage, I’ll put together a schedule for you guys to follow. Until then, keep going to acting classes for me, you have a lot to learn.”

       After Wen Lin and Yi Nan come out of Zheng Xin’s office, Wen Tinghuan invited Wen Jianing in.

       Zheng Xin’s attitude towards Wen Jianing was more relaxed, he said, “Now there are two movies, the company is in the discussion stage. Give yourself time to prepare your heart, when the negotiation turns out good, the script will be delivered.”

       “The company is in discussion?” Wen Jianing was a little surprised, “Can I ask what movie it is?”

       Zheng Xin said, “You don’t have to worry, We’ll let you know when it’s settled.”

       Wen Jianing didn’t understand, “Who will decide? Why don’t you let me know about it first?”

       Zheng Xin said, “Manager Bai said he will be the one who decides.”

       Wen Jianing was taken aback, “Manager Bai?”

       Zheng Xin nodded, “I’m just a messenger, and I did not handle this matter. All the specifics are only known by Manager Bai. He said he will give you the script directly.”

       Wen Jianing couldn’t hide his doubts, “Didn’t Manager Bai give all the management to you completely?”

       Zheng Xin said, ” I really don’t know the situation. If you want to know, I can help you arrange to see Manager Bai.”

       Wen Jianing hesitated, but said, “That’s fine, it’s not needed.”

       Zheng Xin looked at him.

       Wen Jianing had slowly begun to figure out that Bai Shengzhe wouldn’t do so many things for him, or even personally choose plays for him. It would definitely not be Bai Shengzhe, but Lu Jinlang behind Bai Shengzhe.

       After he came out of Zheng Xin’s office, Wen Jianing stood in the corridor and was silent for a while. It wasn’t that he was unhappy about this. He could feel Lu Jinlang’s good intention toward him, but he didn’t think Lu Jinlang knew himself better than him. He felt that Lu Jinlang should discuss this matter with him.

       When he went back that night, Wen Jianing decided to have a chat with Lu Jinlang. But Lu Jinlang did not go home.

       Lu Jinlang called him and said that he would not be coming back tonight.

       Wen Jianing said “Okay” and didn’t ask him what happened.

       This was the current relationship between the two of them. Although they stayed together, lived together, and had sex with each other, he did not have the right to interfere with each other or asked where he had been. Wen Jianing felt that it was too much of interference to Lu Jinlang. He didn’t want Lu Jinlang to be bored with him so early. He hadn’t bought a house yet, and Lu Jinlang hadn’t fulfilled the promise of giving him a male lead role.

　　At the end of the performance, warm applause broke out at the memorial meeting, and even some of the audience had tears in their eyes.

　　Although Wen Jianing’s fans didn’t know why Ke Xinhang appeared here, no matter what his purpose was, everyone could see his sincerity in this song and dance. Only if he sincerely missed Wen Jianing could he have such an attentive interpretation.

　　Wen Jianing bowed and hurriedly left the stage without saying anything.

　　However, his performance had been photographed and posted on the Internet, and the online media had forwarded it one after another, saying that Ke Xinhang appeared in Wen Jianing’s memorial activities and performed Wen Jianing’s old works.

　　Early the next morning, Wen Jianing received a call from Wen Tinghuan and asked him what the hell was going on.

　　“It’s nothing,” he sat on the bed, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

　　Wen Tinghuan said, “Do you know that it was a commercial event? Did they invite you? Did they pay for your appearance?”

　　“Ting jie,” Wen Jianing said, “I just want to do something to commemorate Wen Jianing. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be so obsessed with entering this industry.”

　　Wen Tinghuan sighed and said after a moment of silence, “I’ll go help to talk to Zheng laoshi, but don’t do this again in the future. At least say something to the company, and you shouldn’t be too fearless to offend the boss.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I understand.”

　　Two days later, when he went back to the company, Zheng Xin didn’t make a fuss about this matter with him. He just said, “Nice dance.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I’m just randomly jumping around.”

　　Zheng Xin said, “What Wen Jianing did in that movie is also the effect of jumping randomly, and it looks good. If you are lucky, I hope that it can bring you more attention.”

　　Wen Jianing smiled, “I hope so.”

　　Zheng Xin then asked him, “Are you ready?”

　　Wen Jianing was slightly confused and didn’t understand what he was talking about.

　　Zheng Xin smiled, “I looked at your next work plan, yours and Wen Lin’s drama will soon be broadcasted on Starlight TV. Except for two drama promotion notices, you have no other schedule for the time being. I was planning to arrange some acting classes for you, but after watching your drama clips and your performance at Wen Jianing’s memorial activities that day, I think it’s a bit redundant. It’s better for you to maintain your current natural state, and you don’t need to add some calculated performance elements. “

　　As Wen Jianing heard Zheng Xin say this, he thought what Zheng Xin said as a natural and casual way of interpretation that Wen Jianing had shown this far was thanks to years of accumulated experience which in a sense was not natural.

　　Zheng Xin continued, “So I have discussed it with Manager Bai. I plan to pick up the movie for you, and I’m going to choose it carefully. I’m not going to pick random movies, either I choose an eye-catching stunt in a big production or choose a small budget movie with a beautiful script. Anyway, it’s not urgent, and we will discuss it slowly. So I ask you if you are ready? It may not give you the opportunity to quickly accumulate popularity like making an idol drama.”

　　Wen Jianing nodded seriously, “I’m ready,” he said.

　　Zheng Xin patted him on the shoulder, “Adjust your condition and mentality. Let’s work hard together.”

　　“Thank you,” Wen Jianing thanked him solemnly.

　　When he came out of Zheng Xin’s office, Wen Jianing saw that it was still early and went to the gym upstairs. He couldn’t go to the gym outside now. Occasionally, when the company’s gym was empty, he would go there to practice with equipment. He wanted to train his body to be a little bulkier, and not be so thin.

　　When Wen Jianing arrived, he thought that no one would be there, and he did not expect to see Yi Nan running on the treadmill.

　　Yi Nan wore a pair of tight-fitting sports shorts with a black tank top. He looked sturdy and slender.

　　Wen Jianing couldn’t help looking at Yi Nan’s lower part. He was wrapped in a pair of black sweatpants, but he could see the outline clearly.

　　Yi Nan noticed Wen Jianing’s sight, took a towel to cover his lower body, his face flushed and cursed, “You pervert!”

　　Wen Jianing felt that he was indeed turning into a pervert. He couldn’t help but want to pay attention to other people’s things that he didn’t have.

　　The gym was not big. So when Wen Jianing went to practice with equipment, Yi Nan’s treadmill was not far from him. At this time, Yi Nan stopped, walked to him and pulled the chest expander next to him randomly, and asked him, “Did you went to see Zheng Xin just now?”

　　Wen Jianing replied, “Well, what’s the matter?”

　　Yi Nan didn’t say anything, but Wen Jianing saw his expression and thought he might have something on his mind.

　　In fact, Yi Nan felt a little embarrassed now. Among the top picks from the competition, the girl named Lin Qingyu chose to terminate the contract. He, Wen Lin and Wen Jianing were the three people whom the company attached the most importance to. He also sand with Jiang Yongfei, made a single MV, and even held a small solo concert in the middle.

　　However, Yi Nan obviously felt that his popularity had been declining since the end of the competition. On the contrary, his situation was not as good as Wen Jianing and Wen Lin, who were now preparing to broadcast the TV series.

　　He felt that he shouldn’t lose to them.

　　In fact, before Wen Jianing talked with Zheng Xin today, he also wanted to talk to Zheng Xin. But when he heard that Wen Jianing was inside, he didn’t go in.

　　Wen Jianing could guess what Yi Nan was thinking. He knew that Yi Nan was confused and did not know who to talk to about his confusion.

　　He put down the barbell, Wen Jianing felt that he could be a confidant brother to Yi Nan. He said, “Do you know Wen Jianing?”

　　Yi Nan said, “You don’t say!”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Do you know how many minor roles Wen Jianing played before he became the Film Emperor? No, it should be before he played the leading role?”

　　Yi Nan didn’t speak.

　　Wen Jianing then said, “Your starting point is higher than most people. Do you expect the world to pay attention as soon as you are born? Then you are born in the wrong body. It is only possible to happen if you are born in the British royal family.”

　　Yi Nan glanced at him, and suddenly said, “My mother is Yun Shuying.”

　　Wen Jianing looked at him in a slightly surprised tone, “The cloud beauty?”

　　Yun Shuying was an old movie actress. Although she looked very beautiful, her acting skills were actually very ordinary. The nickname of ‘Cloud Beauty’ was somewhat ironic, meant that her acting skills were dull, and just like a beautiful vase. When Yun Shuying stopped acting, she said she married a Chinese American, and then there was no news after that.

　　As he looked carefully at Yi Nan. He was indeed somewhat similar to Yun Shuying, especially in his eyebrows and eyes.

　　Yi Nan sat down next to Wen Jianing and said, “My father doesn’t support me. Only my mother supports me. In the beginning, my father firmly opposed me from participating in the Voice of the Soul. But I must keep going. I also say some cruel words such as that I will show them some achievements. Unexpectedly, my mother entrusted someone to buy it for me.”

　　“Don’t say that,” said Wen Jianing. “Who do you think is a threat to your championship? Me and Wen Lin?”

　　Yi Nan smiled bitterly and didn’t speak.

　　Wen Jianing said, “Aren’t you always confident in yourself? Don’t give up so easily. Give yourself some more confidence. Even without your mom, the champion of the Voice of the Soul is still yours.”

　　Yi Nan turned to look at him.

　　But Wen Jianing was glancing at Yi Nan’s crotch again.

　　Yi Nan’s face turned black all of a sudden, he took a towel to block his view again, and said angrily, “Are you sick?”

　　Wen Jianing said seriously, “Don’t you think it’s inappropriate for you to be dressed like this?”

　　Yi Nan became annoyed, “How is it inappropriate? What should I wear to run here? You think you’re wearing appropriate attire like this?”

　　As he spoke, he reached out and tried to pull Wen Jianing’s loose-fitting sweatpants.

　　Wen Jianing closed their legs together and avoided his hands. He almost broke a cold sweat out of fear.

　　Yi Nan didn’t say anything, and he was not persistent. He stood up and walked toward the bathroom, not wanting to stay in the gym with Wen Jianing anymore.

　　Wen Jianing’s heartbeat hadn’t recovered yet. He vowed to never provoke Yi Nan again.

       ‘The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix’ was launched officially. It was hard to get a visual sense of how popular the drama was with data like ratings, but the internet was a different story. On the first day of the broadcast, the top two topics on Weibo were related to the TV series ‘The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix’.

　　Everyone seemed to be able to predict that Wen Jianing and Wen Lin would use this drama to make a big hit.

　　They were just hoping that it was not a short-time success.

       On the Saturday of the official broadcast, Starlight station aired the pre-recorded entertainment program, and the previous topic of Yuan Qian was being difficult on-air was once again brought up. Regardless of whether the original intention was to hype or not, it had added fire to the popularity of the TV series.

　　On the same Saturday, Lu Jinlang called Wen Jianing to see the house.

　　When he answered Lu Jinlang’s call, Wen Jianing was taken aback and asked, “What house are you looking at?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Did you forget what I told you before?”

　　Wen Jianing suddenly recalled that Lu Jinlang was talking about moving in with him.

       The villa on the outskirts of the city was inconvenient, so Lu Jinlang bought a house next to his apartment in the city centre. Originally there were only two tenants on the first floor, but now the entire top floor was Lu Jinlang’s house, so he opened up the two houses.

　　When Wen Jianing arrived, he saw a complete set of flats that had been cleaned up. He stood in the middle of the living room, and felt a little dazed.

　　The decoration styles of the two houses were different. In order to move in as soon as possible, Lu Jinlang did not redecorate, but only placed some furniture. Now it looked a little strange to stand in the house.

        And he went through not a door, but a wall directly, and now it looks extra spacious.

　　Living in this place, you didn’t have to be afraid to be found by the reporter. There was a park and green space outside the window and there were no tall buildings, so you wouldn’t have to worry about being photographed. Even if the reporter came upstairs, Wen Jianing could say that he rented the next room, and no one would know what was inside.

　　It was possible to live here with Lu Jinlang.

　　Lu Jinlang hugged him from behind and asked, “How about it?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I’m wondering if I should cancel the lease of that old house.”

　　Lu Jinlang said softly, “You are a big star now, and it’s not appropriate to live in a small house like that.”

　　“I’m a big star?” Wen Jianing asked amusedly.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “I watched your TV series, and you performed well.”

　　Wen Jianing suddenly felt a little dumbfounded.

　　When Wen Jianing stayed at night, he and Lu Jinlang sat on the sofa in the living room to watch an entertainment show. When he saw Yuan Qian, Lu Jinlang suddenly said, “Li Rong and Yuan Qian broke up.”

　　Wen Jianing was not surprised at all. He thought it was an inevitable thing.

　　Although he was not close with Li Rong, he had been in contact with him several times. He didn’t know what Yuan Qian was expecting. She wanted her man to be handsome, rich and romantic. This kind of man could only be found in romantic novels.

        There were too many requirements, and in the end, there could only be nothing left.

　　There seemed to be nothing good in the entertainment program for Wen Jianing to see. It was originally meant to entertain the audience, but Wen Jianing thought he and Wen Lin looked a little silly on it. One was not good at acting in this variety show, and the other was looked like he hadn’t acted in variety shows for a long time. Both looked a little chaotic.

       But Lu Jinlang watched it with great enthusiasm.

       While Lu Jinlang was watching TV, Wen Jianing stood up and opened his arms, and exclaimed, “The house is big!” Unlike his small rental house, where it seemed that he can touch the walls on both sides with his open arms.

　　Lu Jinlang said to him, “Tomorrow I will ask Yunan to help you pack up and move over.”

        When he heard what he said, Wen Jianing thought that the day the two could relax had come to an end. He had to work hard to move things back, which was too troublesome. But by that day, perhaps because he had already bought another big house, so there was no need to go back to that small rented house.

       As he was thinking so, Wen Jianing turned his head and said to Lu Jinlang, “Okay, but don’t trouble Yunan, I’ll let Ting jie arrange it for me.”

　　Lu Jinlang did not object.

　　Wen Jianing hoped that Lu Jinlang would not let him move out too early, at least until he had bought a house.

　　The next day, Wen Tinghuan went to Wen Jianing’s small rental house to help him pack things up.

　　While they were tidying up, Wen Tinghuan couldn’t help but say to him, “What are you thinking about? Are you really going to move in to live with Lu Jinlang?”

       “Well,” Wen Jianing replied. He was clearing the drawer in front of the computer desk, which contained all the things left by Ke Xinhang in the past, as well as a diary that recorded Ke Xinhang’s body secrets. He intended to take these things to Lu Jinlang’s place together. Anyway, Lu Jinlang knew his secret best, and he felt relieved if he stayed with Lu Jinlang.

　　Wen Tinghuan kept nagging him. Wen Jianing was neither impatient nor unhappy. On the contrary, he could feel that Wen Tinghuan really cared about him. This feeling was actually quite good.

　　He just said at the end, “You are like my mother.”

　　Wen Tinghuan stopped, “Who do you think I’m doing this for? It’s not for you.”

　　“Ting jie,” Wen Jianing said, “Help me look for a house, not too expensive. I want to buy another house.”

       Wen Tinghuan looked at him, “Why? Vacation house?”

　　Wen Jianing smiled, “You understand.”

　　“Oh—” Wen Tinghuan said, “Might as well find a girl to fall in love with.”

　　Wen Jianing answered her silently in his heart: Unfortunately, it will never be possible.

　　Wen Tinghuan helped him pack up his things and then asked someone from the company to find a car to help move the things. Wen Jianing did not personally deal with it himself, and Wen Tinghuan properly helped him send everything to Lu Jinlang’s apartment.

　　Lu Yunan waited outside the elevator, moving everything into the room one by one.

　　Wen Tinghuan suddenly became a little curious, and asked, “Can I go in and take a look?”

　　Lu Yunan said politely, “Please come in.” Anyway, since Wen Jianing would move here in the future, it was estimated that Wen Tinghuan would have to come in and out often.

　　Wen Tinghuan walked into Lu Jinlang’s big house and couldn’t help but sighed when he saw an open large living room directly. Then he saw Lu Yunan take Wen Jianing’s suitcase into the master bedroom.

　　She followed in, stood at the door and took a look, and asked, “Is this God Lu’s room?”

　　“Well,” Lu Yunan leaned the box against the wall because Wen Jianing said he would pack the clothes himself.

　　Wen Tinghuan took a tour and exclaimed, “This is the rhythm of newlyweds.”

　　Lu Yunan said, “Mr. Lu and Xinhang have a very good relationship.”

　　Wen Tinghuan couldn’t help but snort slightly and said disapprovingly, “How good is it? You don’t know how many people lived in this house before Xinhang.”

　　Lu Yunan looked at her and said nothing.

　　In the evening, Wen Jianing personally organized his things. He opened the wardrobe and saw that half of the wardrobe was full of Lu Jinlang’s clothes.

　　In fact, Lu Jinlang didn’t live here often in the past. Although he had a set of daily necessities, many clothes were not here. Now most of them were casual clothes, which was also suitable for him to wear on vacation.

       When he looked at Lu Jinlang’s clothes in the wardrobe, Wen Jianing had a peculiar feeling. He had never tried to live with someone before. He had a girlfriend who had a brief relationship before, but the two had never lived together.

　　Lu Jinlang just walked in and said to him, “I remodel the bedroom next door into a coat room, but it’s newly renovated. Please wait two months before putting your clothes in.”

　　“Okay,” Wen Jianing said.

　　Lu Jinlang went over, sat down by the bed, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and asked, “What do you think of the place?”

       Wen Jianing said, “Of course it’s much better than mine.” The current neighbourhood was carefully selected by Lu Jinlang before. The large parks outside with  complete surrounding facilities and high-end property management, it couldn’t be any better.

　　Lu Jinlang smiled, and said, “I’m talking about the atmosphere at home.”

　　Wen Jianing turned around and walked up to him, looking up and down at him, “Just the fact that the great Film Emperor Lu is sitting here, you can give full mark.”

　　Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand from his trouser pocket and held Wen Jianing’s waist with both hands. As a man, Wen Jianing’s waist was a little thin. In fact, Lu Jinlang often wondered if Wen Jianing’s endocrine was affected by his physiological structure. Wen Jianing’s body was always slimmer and softer than that of an adult man. Lu Jinlang couldn’t say whether this was good or bad. He actually hoped to see him gradually become a mature and attractive man. Lu Jinlang was a born homosexual. He still preferred a beautiful and handsome man compared to a boy who was androgynous.

       Wen Jianing lowered his head to kiss Lu Jinlang’s lips. But when Lu Jinlang was about to kiss him, Wen Jianing moved his head and avoided it. After repeating this several times, Lu Jinlang laughed.

　　“Like a child,” Lu Jinlang said to him.

　　Wen Jianing was in a daze when he heard this sentence. He also felt that he was a little childish when he did this action. He would never do this kind of thing with his lover in the past. Probably everyone acted differently in front of other people. When he was with Lu Jinlang, he would naturally make some childish behaviours, perhaps because Lu Jinlang could give him a sense of dependence.

        The situation seemed to be very awkward. Wen Lin felt that he had listened to too many things that he didn’t want to hear, but at this moment there was no way he could leave. He could only look at Wen Jianing and wait for Wen Jianing’s response.

　　Wen Jianing heard what Yan Ruowei said, but he didn’t react at all.

　　Yan Ruowei was very emotional. He was panting, and his chest kept rising and falling.

　　“You are the only one who is naive,” Wen Jianing said suddenly, “Both Lu Jinlang and I. We both know what we are doing and what we want.”

　　Yan Ruowei looked at him with wide eyes, as if he didn’t understand.

　　Wen Jianing continued, “Why would you be so naive as to think that Lu Jinlang is sincere with you?”

　　Wen Lin couldn’t help calling him, “Xinhang?”

　　Wen Jianing shook his head at him, and then said to Yan Ruowei, “Lu Jinlang’s sincerity is too precious. We can’t afford it. Don’t think about it.”

　　Yan Ruowei raised his hand and wiped the wound on the corner of his mouth. He looked a little dumbfounded, and asked Wen Jianing, “Does it mean you are not sincere to him too?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I don’t want to become what you are now.”

　　Yan Ruowei’s eyes were a little lost, and it wasn’t clear where his gaze was directed at.

　　Wen Jianing said to him again, “Take advantage of the noisiness outside, and when no one notices you, find a way to leave. If you were seen with Yuan Qian when this matter broke out, it’ll really be a big scandal in the entertainment industry.”

　　Yan Ruowei didn’t say anything.

　　Wen Jianing then said to Wen Lin, “Let’s go.”

　　Wen Lin followed Wen Jianing out of the terrace and saw that it was still bustling below and no one was paying attention to this corner. He couldn’t help but ask Wen Jianing, “You really don’t like Lu Jinlang?”

　　As he went down the stairs, Wen Jianing said, “I like him, but so what if I do? There is still a long distance between like and love.”

　　Wen Lin said, “Does Lu Jinlang know?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “It doesn’t matter whether he knows it or not. These are not important to him.”

　　When Wen Jianing went back to the hall on the first floor, he still didn’t see Lu Jinlang. At this time, Bai Shengzhe asked them to go over. He and Wen Lin hurried over and went to mingle with Bai Shengzhe.

　　It was late at night after the celebration ended. Wen Jianing returned home in the company car and went upstairs alone.

　　He drank some wine, but he didn’t drink much, and his face was slightly flushed, but his mind was still sober. When he opened the door with the key, he was a little surprised for a moment, because he habitually locked the door every day, but today he was able to open it after turning a bit.

　　But he only thought he had forgotten to lock it when he went out in the morning.

　　When he opened the door and went into the house, he closed the door with one hand and turned on the light with the other hand. Suddenly someone held him from behind.

　　Wen Jianing was startled and immediately began to struggle.

　　The man had a heavy strength and held him tightly from behind. At this time, Wen Jianing stopped struggling because he was very familiar with the embrace. He then knew that the person behind him was Lu Jinlang.

　　After he was released, Wen Jianing lay on the sofa somewhat disconnected. Lu Jinlang reached out and carried him directly to the top of the small bed.

　　“Consider moving to my place,” Lu Jinlang said to him suddenly.

　　”Huh?”

　　Lu Jinlang lay down beside him and lazily reached out for a cigarette. He didn’t smoke very much because he was a very reserved person. He smokes occasionally but was not addicted. But there happened to be a cigarette on his body today, which was given to him at the dinner party. After he took the cigarette, Lu Jinlang turned around to look for the lighter. He searched for a long time but didn’t find it. In the end, Wen Jianing found one for him.

　　Wen Jianing lay down facing him and asked, “Why are you saying that all of a sudden?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “I was followed by a paparazzi when I came here today. I asked Yunan to turn around a few times before getting rid of them. You are not safe here.”

　　Wen Jianing neighbourhood was an old one, and the access control downstairs was not strict. It was too easy for people outside to get in, but Lu Jinlang’s place was different. Unregistered cars and pedestrians were not allowed to enter Lu Jinlang’s villa area. The owner must personally inform the security guard for them to enter.

　　“But have you ever thought that if I move there, sooner or later the reporter will definitely find out about it,” Wen Jianing said.

　　Lu Jinlang bit his cigarette for a while, and said, “How about buying you a house next door? This way no one will be suspicious.”

　　Wen Jianing suddenly laughed, “Then they will definitely wonder if I’m being taken care of by someone.”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled when he heard the words, “Aren’t you?”

        Wen Jianing understood what he meant, and didn’t answer immediately. He looked at him with his head in one hand.

　　Lu Jinlang stared at him at this time and asked, “So do you want it or not?”

　　“What?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Live with me.”

　　Wen Jianing didn’t say anything for a long time, and finally said, “Okay.”

　　Lu Jinlang said to him, “Then I will arrange it.”

　　Wen Jianing nodded.

　　Lu Jinlang slept at Wen Jianing’s place that night. The two people slowly woke up until the next day when the sky was completely bright.

　　The two men squeezed into a single bed. Of course, they couldn’t sleep well. Coupled with the strenuous exercise last night, Wen Jianing felt a little sore all over his body.

　　Lu Jinlang got up first, stretched out his hand to brush Wen Jianing’s hair, and walked toward the bathroom. Wen Jianing lay on the bed lazily and played with his mobile phone for a while.

　　When he came out of the shower, Lu Jinlang got dressed while preparing to call Lu Yunan.

　　Wen Jianing got up from the bed, and when he walked to the bathroom, he asked, “Are you going back?”

　　Lu Jinlang nodded. He didn’t like to go out very much. When on vacation, except for travelling, he spent most of his time at home growing flowers and cooking.

　　Wen Jianing said, “Don’t trouble Yunan, I’ll drive you.”

　　Lu Jinlang did not refuse.

　　Wen Jianing went to take a shower and made a simple breakfast for Lu Jinlang after he came out. After the two of them had breakfast together, Wen Jianing went to wash the dishes and said, “Let’s go, I’ll take you back.”

　　Wen Jianing drove Lu Jinlang home. It was almost ten o’clock in the morning, and the street was already busy with people. Wen Jianing had nothing to do today. Before he returned home yesterday, Wen Tinghuan told him to take a two-days break and arrange it freely.

　　So he didn’t drive in a hurry and drove forward along with the traffic flow.

　　After passing by a small square in the downtown business district, Wen Jianing stopped temporarily because of a traffic jam. Wen Jianing noticed a giant poster of himself hung on the square.

　　Not of Ke Xinhang’s, but Wen Jianing’s.

　　The black-and-white posters fluttered gently with the wind, and some workers were setting up the stage. It looked like there was going to be an event tonight.

　　Wen Jianing was stunned and looked out of the car window. He was a little puzzled. He didn’t understand what kind of activity it was or why his poster was hung.

　　At this time, the car behind honked to urge him, because the car in front had already driven away.

　　He drove out slowly, but he couldn’t help turning his head to see the square.

　　Lu Jinlang didn’t say anything at first, but when he saw him like this, he reached out and took out his cell phone and made a call. A few moments later the call was connected, and he asked the person on the other side of the phone, “What’s going on over at Trend Plaza tonight?”

　　……

　　“Check it out for me.”

       Soon, the person on the phone seemed to reply to him. Lu Jinlang said “Um”, then hung up the phone and said to Wen Jianing, “There is a memorial event about Wen Jianing tonight. It was jointly organized by Wen Jianing’s agency and a clothing brand he endorsed before his death.”

　　Wen Jianing listened quietly, and he pursed his lips slightly.

　　Lu Jinlang noticed his small movements and asked, “Do you want to come and have a look?”

　　Wen Jianing did not answer. He didn’t even look at Lu Jinlang, and just drove silently.

　　Lu Jinlang propped his head with one hand, observing Wen Jianing’s expression.

　　That day, he drove Lu Jinlang home and left on the pretext of going back to the company. He didn’t actually intend to go to the company at all. When he returned, he passed the square again and saw that the light frame had been set up. In fact, this was a commercial activity in memory of him. However, he still wanted to come and have a look, not with Lu Jinlang, but by himself.

　　Wen Jianing did not dare to appear too early. Although he was not very popular, now he has a lot of fan attention. Appearing in public at random will cause trouble for himself.

　　He waited until dark and appeared near the square wearing a mask and cap. It was a little cold at night and the wind around there was very strong. It was not unexpected for him to wear this. But a tall and fashionable young man, even if his face was covered, it was still inevitable that people passing by would look at him more than twice.

       Many people had gathered around the square, including men and women. At a glance, most of them were young girls. However, Wen Jianing had some fans who were already married and had children, but they still like him.

　　The large screen built in the middle was playing the film clips he had played. In the open space in front of the screen, white candles are placed in the shape of the “Wen Jianing” character, which were all lit by his fans to express their grief for him.

　　Wen Jianing thought of the sad and tearful young girls at his funeral. Apparently, they also sat here quietly and looked at Wen Jianing on the big screen. No one was crying, but everyone was just very quiet, with a sad look.

　　He sat down in a corner and looked at himself on the screen.

　　Suddenly, the film that was playing was stopped. The host of an event took the microphone and walked onto the stage and began to express his condolences to Wen Jianing. The background of the screen was also changed into an advertising poster of a clothing brand.

　　Wen Jianing didn’t feel angry. He turned to look at the fans next to him, and he felt a little bit sorrowful.

　　Next, the host announced tonight’s memorial activities. Many fans and friends from the Wen Jianing Fan Club prepared a program. They expressed their memory of Wen Jianing through singing and performance. Next, they invited two girls to sing.

　　They sang the TV theme song starring Wen Jianing during his lifetime.

　　Wen Jianing sat in the audience and listened quietly. Suddenly he got an idea. He stood up and looked for the president of the fan association in the crowd. He knew the girl.

　　After he found the president, Wen Jianing took off his mask behind the stage and said to her, “I’m a fan of Wen Jianing. I want to perform something for him on the stage, but I don’t know if I’m allowed to?”

　　The president’s eyes widened, “Are you Ke Xinhang?”

　　Wen Jianing nodded, “Yes it’s me, Ke Xinhang.”

　　The president seemed to be flattered. She nodded quickly, “Yes, of course, I’m happy that you like Jianing too, what do you want to perform?”

       Wen Jianing said, “There is a movie called ‘Mirror Flower and Water Moon’*, remember?”

　　The president thought for a while and said, “Isn’t it pretty old?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “It is very old. At the end of that movie, Wen Jianing had a solo dance. I want to perform that song.”

　　It was an old movie, when Wen Jianing was not yet popular. In this small production movie, he played a somewhat mentally handicapped teenager. His sister learned ballet, and he always watched his sister dance at home, so he followed the dance. At the end of the movie, the slender boy puts on his sister’s ballet gown, turns on the CD player at home and plays an old piece of music casually, and dances to the music. Naturally, he did not dance ballet, but his body was soft and delicate. Even if he dances casually, his dancing talent could be seen.

　　The song that was played at the time was called ‘By the Suzhou River’.

　　Although the organizer did not prepare a video for ‘Mirror Flower and Water Moon’, after hearing that Ke Xinhang was going to perform on stage, he immediately asked someone to go online to find the last footage of the film, and also found the accompaniment tape of ‘By the Suzhou River’.

　　Wen Jianing’s performance was arranged at the end of the event.

　　When he came on stage, the scene was quiet for a while. Someone did not recognize him, but more people immediately shouted in surprise, “Ke Xinhang?”

　　They thought he was a guest performer invited by the organizer.

　　However, Wen Jianing, who picked up the microphone, said, “I am a fan of Wen Jianing. Today I brought this song ‘By the Suzhou River’ from the movie ‘Mirror Flower and Water Moon’, just to mourn with everyone and to thank everyone here who supports him.”

　　As the movie began to play on the big screen, the melodious music of ‘By the Suzhou River’ also started to play.

　　The Wen Jianing on the screen was not even 20 years old at that time. Although the role he played in the movie was very important, the movie itself was just a small-cost movie and did not get much response.

　　At that time, Wen Jianing was still relatively thin, with an appearance between a teenager and a young man.

　　“The night left a lonely river without a person in sight……” Wen Jianing performed the song with the neutral and delicate voice of Ke Xinhang. He could not remember the dance steps at that time, but he still remembered what the director said to him at that time ” You can dance as you like”. The child who had not learned to dance, by nature, interpreted the emotion of the song as he understood it.

　　While he sang, he walked the dance steps at will, which was almost the same as that on the big screen behind him. He was very restrained and even shy. He matched his soft voice just right as if Wen Jianing on the screen had come back to life again.

　　A car parked in the distance of the square. Lu Yunan looked at Wen Jianing’s performance on the stage and couldn’t help turning his head and whispered, “Mr. Lu?”

　　Lu Jinlang was also looking at Wen Jianing, and he just uttered a single syllable “Huh?”.

　　Lu Yunan said, “Xinhang seemed to have been preparing the dance for a long time.”

　　Lu Jinlang let out an “um”.

　　Lu Yunan said, “He probably really likes Mr. Wen.”

　　“Yunan,” Lu Jinlang said suddenly, “Are you familiar with Wen Jianing?”

　　Lu Yunan was stunned and hurriedly said, “Of course not.”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “I’m not familiar with him either, but I’ve always felt that Wen Jianing was competing with me.”

　　Lu Yunan recalled it carefully, and said, “When you put it that way, it does seem like so.”

　　Lu Jinlang propped his head with one hand, “Ke Xinhang likes Wen Jianing so much, do you think he approached me for some other purpose?”

　　“What purpose?” Lu Yunan was puzzled.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “For example, to kill me and give Wen Jianing a companion or something.”

　　Lu Yunan was instantly shocked, “Mr. Lu, don’t make such a joke!” He turned his head to look at Lu Jinlang but saw that Lu Jinlang’s expression did not seem to care, and that statement was indeed just a joke.

　　Wen Jianing’s performance has come to an end.

　　Lu Yunan asked Lu Jinlang, “Should I pick him up and go back together?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Forget it, he came secretly. I will pretend I don’t know about it, so let’s go back.”

       “Okay,” Lu Yunan started the car and drove forward.

        When Wen Lin left, Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang didn’t say anything more. One went to the bathroom and one went back to the award hall.

　　When Wen Lin saw Wen Jianing return, he obviously hadn’t recovered from the shock and stared at Wen Jianing with wide eyes.

　　Wen Jianing patted him on the shoulder.

　　Wen Lin couldn’t hold back, and approached Wen Jianing and asked in a low voice, “Aren’t you angry when he talks about you like that?” In Wen Lin’s view, Lu Jinlang’s movements and words were too frivolous, and even a bit insulting.

　　Wen Jianing smiled and said to him, “It’s nothing, just a joke.”

　　The award ceremony was still going on, but it had nothing to do with them. This time, Wen Jianing felt that he had become a real audience and would not have that kind of excited anticipation.

　　In the middle of the ceremony, the guest performers invited by the organizing committee came to the stage and sang two songs. It was from a very popular and powerful group recently. The sound was loud and the songs were passionate, which set off a small climax in the award ceremony.

       Generally speaking, there was nothing too unexpected about this year’s Academy Awards. Before the award ceremony, many media made predictions one after another, and the final result was almost the same as the general direction of the prediction.

　　The best actor goes to a veteran actor who has acted in movies for many years but had not won the little golden man. The best actress was a young actress who was only twenty-six this year, young and beautiful, with unlimited possibilities.

        By this time, the awards ceremony, which lasted for nearly three hours, was reaching the end.

　　At this time, the host came on stage and announced that there was a special achievement award to be presented to a special guest tonight, and invited Lu Jinlang and Zhan Yi, who were the guests of honour, to come on stage to present the award.

　　Zhan Yi was the female lead of ‘Duel’. She played Wen Jianing’s girlfriend who was pregnant and killed by Yu Fenglin, played by Lu Jinlang in the movie. Although she was the female lead, this movie was actually a man’s drama, and Zhan Yi’s role was not critical.

       When he saw the two of them on stage, Wen Jianing suddenly understood for whom this special achievement award was prepared.

　　Sure enough, Lu Jinlang and Zhan Yi announced that the winner of the Special Achievement Award was Wen Jianing, and then the host invited Wen Jianing’s mother, Wen Cuilan to the stage to receive the award.

　　Wen Cuilan burst into tears uncontrollably and thanked the Organizing Committee and all his friends and fans on behalf of Wen Jianing.

　　At this time, the whole audience stood up and applauded, and so the host announced that the Academy Award ceremony was officially over.

　　Wen Jianing followed and stood up to applaud, but all his thoughts were on Wen Cuilan, who was crying on the awards platform above.

       The time just after the ceremony was the most chaotic, the award-winning stars had to go to the reception hall outside to be interviewed by reporters, while some others were either going to the celebration banquet after the award ceremony or going back by car. All the people in the whole venue were vacating the hall.

　　Wen Jianing walked outside in a hurry, and Yi Nan grabbed his arm and missed, asking, “Where are you rushing to?”

　　He shook his head and didn’t answer. He just wanted to see Wen Cuilan.

　　When he saw Wen Cuilan so sad, Wen Jianing suddenly wondered whether his thoughts were wrong. Even with a new husband, the existence of a son should be irreplaceable for a woman. Since he was still alive, he should let his mother know, at least to make her less sad.

       Wen Cuilan would not attend the press conference, nor she would go to the celebration banquet. She was going to go straight to the special passage, and then leave by car.

　　Wen Jianing knew where the passage was, so he hurried to that direction.

　　The corridor seemed a bit crowded at this time. He was the only one who moved hastily, causing many people next to him to look at him.

　　When he saw Wen Cuilan, Wen Cuilan was already standing at the exit of the passage. A car stopped in front of her, waiting for her to get in.

　　It was her foreigner husband who drove, and there was a white girl in the back seat, the daughter of her husband and ex-wife.

　　Wen Cuilan got into the car. The girl hugged the back of the chair and leaned her head to talk to her. Her husband hugged her for comfort, and Wen Cuilan finally showed a smile on her face.

       Wen Jianing just stood there and didn’t go over until the car drove away. Now he felt he shouldn’t mess around so much, at least not at this time.

　　Many people came from behind him, waiting for vehicles to leave at the exit of the passage.

　　Wen Jianing stood in the same place for a long time, and he took out his mobile phone and found several missed calls on the phone that had been muted before the opening, from Wen Lin and Wen Tinghuan.

        He called Wen Tinghuan back, and she hurriedly asked him where he was.

　　Wen Jianing said the place, and soon the car drove over to pick him up.

　　As she saw Wen Jianing getting in the car, Wen Tinghuan asked, “What the hell are you doing?”

　　Wen Jianing shook his head.

       Seeing his somewhat disoriented appearance, Wen Tinghuan turned her head and asked Wen Lin and Yi Nan, “What happened to him?”

　　Wen Lin and Yi Nan were both at a loss.

　　However, Wen Lin remembered what happened to Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang outside the bathroom at that time. He gave a soft “Ah” and thought that there was something wrong between Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang, but when he saw Wen Tinghuan looking at him, he closed his mouth and shook his head.

       Wen Tinghuan didn’t ask any more questions, and said, “Manager Bai has already gone to the dinner party. We’ll go there now.”

　　When she saw Wen Jianing still dispirited, Wen Tinghuan patted him on the shoulder, “Xinhang, don’t forget what you said to Zheng laoshi, cheer up!”

　　Wen Jianing nodded.

　　The address of the celebration banquet of the Academy Award ceremony was in the banquet hall of a five-star hotel very close to the award hall.

　　After Bai Shengzhe arrived first. He waited for them to come before entering together with them.

　　Wen Jianing saw Lu Jinlang as soon as he entered the lobby. He was standing with Zhan Yi to talk. Neither of them won any prizes this year, nor did they need to attend the press conference. They came here early as soon as the awards ceremony ended.

　　There were so many astounding stars here like it was at the awards ceremony. Of course, in addition to the stars, there were many other well-known filmmakers and a large number of big bosses in the entertainment industry.

       The atmosphere was warm and peaceful, with people talking and laughing everywhere. It seemed that the entertainment circle was actually a small circle, where everyone knows each other and knows them well.

　　Lu Jinlang had been surrounded by people to talk and clink glasses. He was calm and polite, and he always listened to others carefully.  He only took the time to look at Wen Jianing but did not come over.

　　After Bai Shengzhe walked away from them, Wen Lin seemed a little uncomfortable, and Yi Nan didn’t seem to like these parties. He went to the table, took a glass of red wine and drank it alone.

        Bai Shengzhe beckoned Yi Nan to come over.

　　And so only Wen Lin and Wen Jianing were left.

　　Wen Lin looked around and said, “Is there a place to get some air?”

　　Wen Jianing pointed to the stairs. There was a big terrace between the first floor and the second floor.

        Wen Lin walked in that direction upon hearing this.

　　Wen Jianing wanted to tell him not to hurry to hide, but he didn’t stop Wen Lin. Because Wen Lin was already impatiently heading towards the terrace.

       He was feeling a little helpless, but there was no way to stop Wen Lin. Wen Jianing glanced around and saw Fang Wei who was talking to Li Jiazhen. He picked up a glass of red wine and walked in Fang Wei’s direction.

　　Fang Wei obviously still remembered Wen Jianing. When he saw him, he smiled and greeted him, “Xinhang.”

　　“Director Fang,” Wen Jianing respectfully toasted Fang Wei.

        Wen Jianing asked Fang Wei about the progress of ‘October Fireworks’. Fang Wei was obviously in a good mood when talking about the movie, and he pulled Li Jiazhen to talk with Wen Jianing in detail. Soon, there were a few more people around them. Naturally, they all came for Fang Wei.

　　Fang Wei suddenly grabbed a short and plumpy middle-aged man and said, “Old Cao, didn’t you ask me to recommend someone to you? Come on, this is Ke Xinhang. I think he meets your requirements. Think about it.”

　　The full name of the middle-aged man that Fang Wei called ‘Old Cao’ was Cao Songquan. He was a director who has filmed many comedies. He was an old partner with a producer in the circle, making a comedy film every two years, which was a blockbuster filled with so many stars.

        Cao Songquan looked at Wen Jianing, but asked Fang Wei, “You recommend him?”

　　Fang Wei nodded, “I recommend him.”

　　Cao Songquan said, “Okay, if you recommend it, it’s fine, I’ll take it!”

       Although Cao Songquan said so, it sounded more like a casual joke between friends to Wen Jianing, so he didn’t take it too seriously. He just respectfully toasted Cao Songquan a glass of wine, and then left silently when he saw that Fang Wei was engaging in small talks with others.

　　The whole banquet hall was getting more and more people, since the award-winning actors rushed to the celebration banquet after being interviewed, and became the main spotlight of the banquet. Especially when the new Film Emperor and Queen came to the banquet hall, people’s attention was drawn to them.

　　Wen Jianing turned to look for Lu Jinlang but found that he couldn’t find him, and he didn’t know if he went to the bathroom.

　　After standing in place for a while, Wen Jianing planned to find Wen Lin, because until now, Wen Lin was still hiding on the terrace above and refused to come back. He also considered tonight’s trip to be in vain.

　　Wen Jianing walked along the stairs towards the terrace, and when he got closer, he found that the two doors that were originally open were actually slightly closed at the moment. He thought that Wen Lin was inside, so he glanced into the crack of the door and saw Yuan Qian and Yan Ruowei standing on the terrace talking face to face.

　　Slightly surprised, Wen Jianing simultaneously heard Yuan Qian’s angry curses, “Shameless!”

        Yan Ruowei turned his head and said, “Miss Yuan, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

　　Yuan Qian repeatedly vented her anger, and she said, “I said you’re shameless! Being a man yet you are giving in to another man!”

        Yan Ruowei said, “I think you might have misunderstood something…”

　　‘Slap!’ Before he finished his words, Yuan Qian slapped him in the face. She was obviously slapping so hard that Yan Ruowei’s head even tilted.

　　Yuan Qian said bitterly, “Are you crazy about being popular? What do you want from Li Rong? You think I don’t know? Li Rong is just playing with you! Don’t be so delusional!”

　　Yan Ruowei looked at Yuan Qian, suppressed his anger and did not do anything to her. He said, “I said you misunderstood!”

       Yuan Qian didn’t believe him at all, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Yan Ruowei’s clothes, constantly cursing words like “shameless” and “disgusting”.

　　Yan Ruowei was obviously very patient, and grabbed Yuan Qian’s hand to let her let her go, but it was not possible to say whether it would strike Yuan Qian’s hands.

　　When he saw this, Wen Jianing turned back and looked down the stairs and found Li Rong in the crowd.

　　Li Rong leaned back against the wall and drank wine casually. He was a little absent-minded when several young actresses next to him were talking to him.

　　Wen Jianing hurriedly went downstairs, walked quickly in the direction of Li Rong, grabbed Li Rong’s wrist and said, “Come with me.”

　　Li Rong was a little baffled.

       Wen Jianing could no longer care about the strange look of the people next to him. While pulling Li Rong out of the crowd, he whispered to him, “Your girlfriend is dealing with Yan Ruowei, I’m afraid they’re making a big noise.”

　　Li Rong immediately frowned and followed Wen Jianing quickly up the stairs. He rushed to open the door of the terrace and saw Yuan Qian already grabbing Yan Ruowei’s face and hair.

        Yan Ruowei’s face was scratched, but he still restrained himself and didn’t hit Yuan Qian.

　　Li Rong stepped forward and hugged Yuan Qian to drag her away from Yan Ruowei. Wen Jianing followed behind and closed the door back.

        Yuan Qian was still so hysterical that he turned around and slapped Li Rong in the face.

　　After doing that, she herself was stunned. She took a deep breath and said nothing.

　　With a cold face, Li Rong asked, “Have you had enough?”

       Yan Ruowei looked at Li Rong, raised his hand to touch the wound on his face, and then looked at Wen Jianing behind Li Rong.

       Wen Jianing saw that the atmosphere was a little tense, he wanted to persuade Li Rong to take Yuan Qian away first, but before he had a chance to speak, he heard Li Rong yell, “Who is that? Get out!”

　　Several people were taken aback.

　　Then Wen Jianing saw Wen Lin cautiously come out from behind a big vase. He didn’t mean to hear it on purpose. He also felt very flustered.

       He just heard someone coming. In order to avoid talking with others, he wanted to hide behind the vase. However, he didn’t expect Yuan Qian and Yan Ruowei to quarrel as soon as they came inside. When he heard the content of the quarrel, there was no way to go out even more.

        Li Rong didn’t know Wen Lin, so he looked at him coldly.

　　Wen Jianing quickly said to Li Rong, “He is my friend. He won’t talk nonsense.”

　　Li Rong turned to Wen Jianing and said, “Thank you, I will take her away first.” After saying that, he dragged Yuan Qian away by the wrist.

        Wen Jianing, Wen Lin and Yan Ruowei were left in the room.

　　Wen Jianing looked at Wen Lin and raised his jaw to signal him to leave.

　　However, Yan Ruowei suddenly said, “Do you think Lu Jinlang loves you?”

        Wen Lin suddenly stopped, and Wen Jianing also looked at Yan Ruowei.

　　Yan Ruowei still had bloodstains on his face and the corners of his mouth were swollen. He looks a little miserable. He then said, “Don’t be naive, that’s just an illusion, Lu Jinlang loves no one but himself.”

        The day after the recording, rumours began to spread on the internet that Yuan Qian was making things difficult for the people during the recording session. Yuan Qian was also a popular person who had a lot of problems. No matter what she did, people like her usually attracted controversies on the internet easily, not to mention this time she was caught in such a proper scandal.

　　Soon, the audience who participated in the recording described in great detail on the internet how Yuan Qian threw a plastic ball at Wen Lin, and also released a picture of Yuan Qian’s cold face taken by their mobile phone.

        At the same time, another photo also circulated, that was, a photo of Wen Jianing lifting Wen Lin’s face to look at the wound on his cheekbones. The angle of the photo was very good. Wen Jianing looked concerned and the two looked very intimate.

　　On the entertainment forum, someone joked about the topic “Xiao Zongyi and Xiao Zongyan should abandon Ling Zhener to be together”. The topic also aroused the disgust of some original book fans, and a dozen pages of words as high as buildings were built at once with great enthusiasm.

       Yi Nan surfed the Internet with a tablet computer in the lounge. When he saw Wen Jianing and Wen Lin walked in, he raised his head and said, “Have you seen the internet? You guys are told to stay together.”

　　Wen Jianing smiled, and put his hand on Wen Lin’s shoulder, “We are already together.”

　　Yi Nan said, “Don’t let me see such disgusting things.”

        Yi Nan and Jiang Yongfei’s duet single had been released, and the response on the internet was good, but it was mainly because Jiang Yongfei has a large number of fans. In fact, if they really wanted to talk about momentum, right now, Yi Nan was not as popular as Wen Jianing and Wen Lin. ‘The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix’ had not been broadcast yet, but both of them had become popular.

       Soon, Yuan Qian’s fans began to argue fiercely, saying that it was a hype to match the drama’s promotion while pointing the finger at the TV station and Wen Lin. Someone on Weibo issued a questionable topic of “Wen Lin apologized to Yuan Qian”.

　　Although when you clicked the topic you could see a lot of people were scolding the original poster, Wen Lin still looked very angry.

　　Wen Jianing advised him not to take it to heart, and that it was not a big deal.

　　Yi Nan saw it next to him, and said, “What is this woman doing?”

　　Wen Lin said, “Be a popular flower.”

　　Yi Nan pursed his lips, “Didn’t she rely on Li Rong to support her back? Didn’t you hear that she is famous for bringing capital into the group?”

　　Wen Jianing couldn’t help being a little curious, “Do you know everything?”

　　Yi Nan glanced at him, “I know. Why? The Film Emperor Lu didn’t tell you any of this? He’s not on good terms with Li Rong.”

　　Wen Jianing replied, “When we are together, we don’t talk about personal matters.”

　　Yi Nan was a little surprised when he heard that, “You guys are not talking about personal matters? Then what are you two talking about?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Official business. He is my boss, and it is my job to please him.”

　　Yi Nan’s face changed, and he couldn’t help cursing, “You really have no shame!”

　　Wen Lin bumped Wen Jianing’s arm and told him not to make these jokes.

　　At this time, Zheng Xin opened the door of the lounge and came in from the outside. When he saw the three of them sitting in the lounge, he smiled and said, “Since you are all here. Let’s have a meeting.”

　　The meeting was led by Zheng Xin. In addition to Wen Jianing and the others, there were several new young artists in the company. Compared with Huang Gang in the past, Wen Jianing could sense Bai Shengzhe’s intentions and how he had put a lot of effort into cultivating new talents.

　　However, it was inevitable that Jiang Yongfei would feel that she was not given not as much attention as before. Wen Jianing didn’t know if she has some disagreement with Bai Shengzhe, but he rarely saw Jiang Yongfei in the company recently.

　　After explaining his recent work, at the end of the meeting, Zheng Xin said, “I have three invitation cards for Academy Awards for those who are interested.”

　　Most of the people invited to the Academy Awards were filmmakers. Of course, entertainment companies would not ignore it. Bai Shengzhe would definitely go there. Zheng Xin has three extra tickets here. He meant to let Wen Jianing and the others go see it.

　　Wen Lin was actually more interested in the Golden Melody Awards, but Yi Nan immediately asked, “Can I go?”

　　Zheng Xin smiled and nodded, then said to Wen Jianing and Wen Lin, “You go together. The company will arrange a car to send you off at that time.”

　　Wen Jianing looked at the invitation card in Zheng Xin’s hand and suddenly felt a little complicated. It was not an official invitation card of the organizing committee, but just equivalent to an admission ticket, because they had no work and would not be invited to the red carpet.

　　Every year, the film creators and actors that were nominated for the awards, as well as the awarding guests invited by the organizing committee, took the red carpet of the Academy Award. Before this year, Wen Jianing stepped on the long red carpet every year, and last year was the most energetic time.

　　When Zheng Xin stood up, he saw Wen Jianing staring at the invitation card in a daze. He said, “Do you have confidence that you will step on the red carpet in two years?”

　　Wen Jianing looked up at him, smiled, and said, “I will be ready next year.”

　　Zheng Xin reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

　　Although they didn’t need to walk on the red carpet, they would only be in an inconspicuous corner when they entered the venue. There might not be a lens to shoot them from start to finish, but Wen Jianing and the others still dressed up and attended the awards ceremony.

　　The Golden Film Awards hall had not changed in many years. Wen Jianing sat in the corner of the back row, looking at the position in front of him in a daze. If it weren’t for the accident, he would probably sit in the second row this year, next to Lu Jinlang.

　　And Lu Jinlang would still sit near that position this year, but what about himself?

　　Maybe he could sleep in Lu Jinlang’s bed tonight. Wen Jianing was instantly amused by his own thoughts. Yi Nan glared at him and said in a low voice, “Crazy.”

　　After waiting for a while, the filmmakers and big stars sitting in the front row entered the venue one after another.

　　Lu Jinlang entered the hall with a well-known actress. He politely and courteously escorted her to her seat before going to her own.

　　Seeing that the awards ceremony was about to officially begin, almost all the seats in the awards hall were seated, and the lights in the hall dimmed.

　　“It’s about to start,” Wen Lin said in a low voice. At this time, he also began to look forward to it vaguely.

　　After solemn opening remarks, the two hosts took the stage. Unlike in previous years, they used jokes to bring a relaxed atmosphere, but their tone and expression were somewhat a bit solemn. Then they began a long speech with the theme of commemorating Wen Jianing and all the awards given to him, and sad music reverberated in the hall.

　　Wen Jianing was a little startled because he didn’t know that there would be such an opening.

　　After the memorial speech, the large screen in the middle began to play a short introduction of Wen Jianing, including his works that got nominated for the Academy Award in recent years, and finally the video of Wen Jianing receiving the award when he won the Academy Award for best actor last year.

　　At that time, Wen Jianing stood on the podium with the little golden man in his hand. He was a little excited, and his eyes were full of tears. He said many words of thanks, including the film creator, his management company, his family and every one of his friends. He said that his gain today was the result of his own struggle, and he was also lucky that so many people had always supported him. Finally, bowed deeply and waved his little men and got off the stage.

　　What were you thinking at the time? It must be the best feeling of standing at the peak of life and being proud, and it couldn’t be a better memory.

　　After the video ended, the big screen switched to the scene of the award ceremony. In the front row, there were several female stars familiar with Wen Jianing, with tears in their eyes. The camera also swept Lu Jinlang’s face. He looked calm and dignified.

　　“Are you crying?” Wen Lin said suddenly, and he was surprised to find that Wen Jianing beside him was crying.

　　Wen Jianing raised his hand and wiped his face, and said, “It’s nothing.”

　　Wen Lin probably thought he felt sorry for the idol, so he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

　　Wen Jianing felt that the music here was so sentimental that people couldn’t help but be sad unconsciously.

　　After that, the award ceremony officially began.

　　There were more than 20 awards at the Golden Film Awards. For the audience, the most anticipated were undoubtedly the candidates for the leading actor and actress, as well as the best film, director, supporting actor and actress and newcomer awards. However, many of the previous film-related awards had not attracted much attention. Everyone’s attention was focused on the award winners.

　　Yi Nan was a little unconcerned. He turned his eyes around and suddenly nudged Wen Jianing and said, “Yuan Qian is here too.”

　　Wen Jianing glanced, he didn’t care about Yuan Qian but noticed that Li Rong was also here today. The two seemed to be quarrelling that day, but now they were sitting together as if nothing had happened.

　　Wen Lin just came to see the excitement. He asked Wen Jianing when the award for the best actor and actress would be awarded. Wen Jianing told him that it would be at least the second half, and he suddenly lost some interest.

　　“I’ll go to the bathroom,” Wen Lin said, then stood up and moved slowly down the aisle.

　　“Wait,” Wen Jianing stopped him, “I’ll go with you.”

　　When they came out of the award hall, Wen Jianing walked with Wen Lin along the arc-shaped corridor towards the bathroom. The corridor was empty and the staff were busy backstage.

　　Wen Lin went into the bathroom, but Wen Jianing just wanted to get a breather at the end of the corridor.

　　To be honest, he was still a bit immersed in the emotions just now out, feeling sad about his own death. He suddenly remembered his mother, Wen Cuilan. Wen Jianing never thought about getting close to Wen Cuilan. In fact, a large part of the reason was that after Wen Cuilan remarried, she was happy in her marriage. Wen Cuilan had been abroad in recent years, and the two of them rarely see each other. But their bond connected by blood would not fade anyway.

　　Just when Wen Jianing looked out the window in a daze, a woman came out from the nearby bathroom. Wen Jianing was stunned when he saw the woman because the woman was Wen Cuilan.

　　Wen Cuilan didn’t look at him much. She came out of the bathroom and walked in the direction of the award hall.

　　Wen Jianing subconsciously caught up two steps. He opened his mouth and shouted, “Ms. Wen!”

　　Wen Cuilan stopped, turned around and looked at him suspiciously.

　　Wen Jianing was stunned. Just when he was about to speak, suddenly he saw Lu Jinlang appear in the corridor, walking in their direction.

　　As soon as he saw Lu Jinlang, Wen Jianing changed his tone and said, “I am a fan of Mr. Wen, and I like him very much.”

　　Wen Cuilan looked sad when she heard what he said, nodded to Wen Jianing and said, “Thank you.” She no longer remembered that this young man once appeared at Wen Jianing’s funeral and called her “Mom” loudly.

　　Wen Jianing didn’t say anything anymore, so Wen Cuilan said goodbye politely and left.

　　Lu Jinlang overheard their conversation, and when he passed by Wen Cuilan, he nodded politely, then walked towards Wen Jianing and said, “Are you that sad?”

　　Wen Jianing was slightly stunned and didn’t understand what he meant.

　　Lu Jinlang raised his hand, bent his index finger and rubbed it gently under Wen Jianing’s eyes, and said, “Your eyes are still red.”

　　Wen Jianing raised his hand and wiped his eyes in shock, and noticed that there was still a small drop of tears hanging on his eyelashes.

　　Lu Jinlang smiled gently, “He really seems to be your idol, huh.” he said.

　　Wen Jianing did not deny it, nor did he say anything to boast about himself.

　　Lu Jinlang suddenly asked him, “Why do you like Wen Jianing more?”

　　After Wen Jianing heard this question, it took him a while before he reacted. It turned out that Lu Jinlang was aware that the outside world has been comparing him with Wen Jianing. The meaning of “why do you like Wen Jianing more” meant if he liked Wen Jianing more than him.

　　Wen Jianing himself really didn’t know how to answer this question. He suddenly remembered his previous joke about who was going to be in Lu Jinlang’s bed tonight and laughed all of a sudden. How would Lu Jinlang react if he knew that the person sleeping next to him was Wen Jianing? Will he be scared and fall out of bed?

　　“What are you laughing at?” Lu Jinlang folded his arms on his chest and looked at Wen Jianing. He couldn’t help but smile. Sometimes he wanted to open up Wen Jianing’s head to see what he was thinking about.

　　Wen Jianing shook his head. He rubbed his still red eyes and asked Lu Jinlang, “Are you still busy after the awards ceremony?”

　　“There’s a dinner party,” Lu Jinlang said, “But it doesn’t have much to do with me this year. I don’t have to attend.” He thought Wen Jianing was inviting him.

　　Wen Jianing thought, “Oh, the celebration banquet. I almost forgot. Zheng Xin told us to go to the celebration banquet with manager Bai and get to know someone.”

　　Lu Jinlang asked, “Who do you want to know? I can introduce them to you.”

　　Wen Jianing smiled, “I haven’t thought about who to meet, I need to go and see then. I think it is best to get acquainted with a few big directors.”

　　Lu Jinlang shook his head, “The big director doesn’t like you.”

　　Wen Jianing asked, “Why?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “They think you are too small.” After saying that, he lifted his leg and gently bumped his knee into Wen Jianing’s lower part.

　　However, he didn’t expect this scene to be seen by Wen Lin, who had just come out of the bathroom. Wen Lin was a little stunned for a moment. He was obviously frightened.

　　Wen Jianing watched Wen Lin stare at Lu Jinlang, and quickly said to him, “You go back first, I’ll be there soon.”

　　Wen Lin came back to his senses. When he turned to leave, he remembered that he should say hello to Lu Jinlang, so he bent over and said, “Hello, Coach Lu.” his head couldn’t turn around, and he still used the title he used to call Lu Jinlang during the competition.

　　Lu Jinlang nodded to him.

　　Wen Lin quickly walked towards the way back.

       After breakfast, Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing went fishing in the fish pond for a long time. In the afternoon, they went around the mountain behind.

       In the evening, Yang Wenchong called Lu Jinlang and said that he had bought the car according to the brand and model Wen Jianing wanted. He had asked someone to drive it up the mountain. The rest of the formalities will also be handled by someone to help Wen Jianing.

       So Lu Jinlang accompanied Wen Jianing to see the car.

       Yang Wenchong was standing next to the brand-new Mercedes-Benz and was making a phone call to someone. When he saw Wen Jianing and the others, he threw the car keys to Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Jianing wasn’t particularly excited. He just thought that he wouldn’t have to take a taxi to the company in the future, and he wouldn’t have to ask Lu Yunan to pick him up every time.

　　Yang Wenchong came over after the call, and Wen Jianing said to him, “Thank you.”

　　He blew a kiss, “I should be the one who thanked you, baby.” He wouldn’t change the nickname he give to Wen Jianing.

       Then they stayed quietly on the mountain for the next two days. Wen Tinghuan called and said that Wen Lin had finished the shooting and had come back. She asked Wen Jianing to prepare to come back and record the song.

　　Wen Jianing and Wen Lin were singing the theme song of ‘The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix’ that was originally decided when Huang Gang was still there. At that time, Huang Gang had an interest in making Wen Jianing and Wen Lin developed together. However, after Bai Shengzhe took over Lei Xing, he felt that it was no longer necessary. Zheng Xin also said that the two of them were completely different types of artists, and there was no need to tie them together and restrained each other.

       However, the TV series had completed the creation of lyrics and songs of the theme in the initial preparation, it was written specifically for the two of them to sing together, so there was no need to change it now.

　　Wen Jianing went down from the mountain ahead of schedule. Since Lu Jinlang had a long vacation, he planned to stay in Lanlu for more days.

　　When Wen Tinghuan saw Wen Jianing’s new car, she stared at him and didn’t speak for a long time.

　　Wen Jianing knew that she must have thought that Lu Jinlang bought it for him, and he didn’t intend to tell the truth, because if he mentioned Yang Wenchong was involved, it would be even more complicated

　　Wen Tinghuan sighed and said, “Forget it, that’s okay. Anyway, he is willing to do it, so please don’t make trouble in the future.”

　　Wen Jianing smiled, “I know, Ting jie, don’t worry.”

　　Wen Tinghuan told him again, “Also, don’t let the reporter catch on to it. Just say that the company lent you a car, this kind of thing is not like other scandals, it will have a great impact on you.”

　　Wen Jianing nodded, indicating that he was very clear about this in his heart.

　　The theme song of the TV series was called ‘Asking for Happiness’ and was a rather grandiose old-style song. Before the official recording, the producer guided Wen Jianing and Wen Lin to practice for a long time before entering the recording studio.

　　Wen Lin was actually much better than Wen Jianing in singing. However, Wen Lin’s original voice was also relatively clear and soft, and when he sang with Wen Jianing, the effect of the whole song still sounds very good.

　　In the eyes of the producer, these two people were just idol singers, but after the recording, he still thought they were great and even had a private conversation with Wen Lin.

       After the TV series entered the post-production stage, Wen Jianing and Wen Lin had to be busy with the pre-publicity of the TV series.

　　But before that, the annual event of the film industry was about to begin again. As the highest award in the domestic film industry, the Academy Award had always been the focus of filmmakers and film audiences across the country.

　　It was at this Academy Award that Wen Jianing lost to Lu Jinlang twice. He took a long deep breath because of this.

       Lu Jinlang was not nominated for this year’s Academy Award, because Lu Jinlang only made one movie ‘October Fireworks’ which was not released this year, and the release schedule has not been set yet.

       Of course, it was impossible to have Wen Jianing to be nominated again, because Wen Jianing was dead in everyone’s eyes.

　　So there was a very strange phenomenon this year, that was, the two topics of the Academy Award and the commemoration of Wen Jianing were tied together. There was more than a week left for the award ceremony, but it was widely discussed on the internet.

　　Lu Jinlang, who had stayed on the mountain for one more week, called Wen Jianing to go up the mountain. But after Wen Tinghuan knew about it, he asked Wen Jianing to make an excuse to refuse it. After all, Wen Jianing’s career was still in its infancy. He couldn’t stay in the mountains as leisurely as Lu Jinlang for a month without having to do anything.

       Since Lu Jinlang finally couldn’t stand loneliness, he went back from the mountain himself.

       That day, Wen Jianing confirmed the next trip with Wen Tinghuan in the company. He and Wen Lin would record  Starlight TV station’s entertainment programs in two days, and it would be broadcasted at the same time as the TV series broadcasting.

　　When they left, Wen Lin followed Wen Jianing downstairs, since Wen Jianing told him that he would send him back.

　　Wen Lin knew that Wen Jianing had a new car, and it was not cheap. Of course he knew that it was impossible for the company to lend it, but Wen Lin didn’t have the heart to ask where it came from.

        As soon as the two of them arrived in the underground parking lot, Wen Jianing’s cell phone rang suddenly, and it was Lu Jinlang who called and asked him where he was.

　　Wen Jianing replied that he was in the company.

　　Lu Jinlang then said, “Wait a while, I will let Yunan pick you up.”

　　Wen Jianing smiled, “Where are you taking me?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Come to my house.”

        Wen Jianing said, “Then you don’t need to tell Yunan to pick me up, I will come by myself later.”

　　When he hung up, Wen Lin hesitated and asked, “Isn’t it inconvenient? I’ll just take the bus to go back by myself.”

　　“It’s fine,” Wen Jianing shook his head, “I’ll send you back first, it’s still early.”

　　After getting in the car, Wen Lin was quiet and asked, “Xinhang, are you with Lu Jinlang?”

　　Wen Jianing did not deny it and softly replied, “Yeah.”

       Wen Lin was somewhat a naive and idealistic person. Although Wen Jianing often persuaded him that if he really wanted to insist on singing, he had to give up some things, his standpoint couldn’t be easily shaken.

　　What happened with Boss Chen last time influenced him a lot. For a long time, Wen Lin became a little cautious in speaking and doing things. Compared to how he originally was when he attended the Lei Xing’s banquet without saying anything, Wen Jianing had to say that Wen Lin had changed a lot. It might also be because Wen Jianing’s words in the past had some impact. But perhaps in Wen Lin’s view, he must go through these tribulations before he could truly become a top musician and make his own favourite music.

       Wen Lin certainly couldn’t understand the affairs of Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang, but he was in no position to say anything, and he didn’t even know what to say to persuade Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Jianing somewhat saw Wen Lin’s thoughts. As he drove the car, he said, “It’s nothing really. I like Lu Jinlang very much.”

　　Wen Lin turned his head in surprise, he asked, “Are you guys serious?”

　　Wen Jianing smiled, “I am very happy with him, at least he is handsome and a gentle man. Do not you still think I am pitiful?”

        Hearing what Wen Jianing said, Wen Lin understood the implication. He said, “But it can’t last long.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “In the beginning, not every relationship can blossom and bear fruit. There is no need to force a lot of things, and just let nature take its course.”

　　Wen Lin sighed deeply when he heard the words. He too, was at loss for he also didn’t know where the future will lead to.

　　After sending Wen Lin home, Wen Jianing drove toward Lu Jinlang’s villa.

　　When he arrived, Lu Jinlang was preparing to cook steak.

　　Wen Jianing walked gently into the kitchen and hugged Lu Jinlang who was pouring olive oil into the pot from behind.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Be careful, it’s hot.”

　　Wen Jianing let go of him and asked. “Are we eating steak?”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled and said, “We are having candlelight dinner.”

　　That night, the two of them were eating steak on the long table in Lu Jinlang’s dining room. After eating, Wen Jianing suddenly thought of asking Lu Jinlang to play the piano for him.

        Halfway through playing the piano, Lu Jinlang made love to Wen Jianing in the piano room.

　　Wen Jianing’s cheeks were flushed after doing it. Lu Jinlang held him in his arms and sat on the sofa. Wen Jianing asked, “Did you miss me so much that you couldn’t wait and come down to find me?”

       Lu Jinlang did not answer him directly, but said, “Li Rong looked for you once, and Yang Wenchong looked for you twice.”

　　Wen Jianing laughed at the words, “What do they want from me? Playing snooker?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “I told them, please don’t harass you without permission.”

　　Wen Jianing turned his head to look at him, “You are so overbearing.”

        Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand to pinch his chin and deliberately said in a haughty tone, “You are mine. No one is allowed to harass you without my consent.”

        He then brought his acting skills as the Film Emperor to full effect.

　　Wen Jianing said, “That’s right, you are Boss Lu.” After he said that, he took the initiative to kiss Lu Jinlang’s lips.

　　Wen Jianing always spends time with Lu Jinlang as soon as he had free time and Wen Tinghuan had no good reason to stop him. Two days later, on the way to the TV station to record the program, Wen Tinghuan couldn’t help asking, “He hasn’t gotten tired of you yet, has he?

　　Wen Lin’s eyes widened and felt that Wen Tinghuan’s question was really hurtful.

　　Wen Jianing smiled, and said, “Maybe I will be the one who is tired of him first instead. So don’t worry.”

        Because they were stuck in traffic for a while, they arrived at the TV station a little late. They had just arrived backstage when they heard the makeup artist of the Starlight TV station secretly telling them that Yuan Qian had lost her temper.

       Their makeup artist was the same as when they participated in the competition, and they all knew each other quite well. It was said that Yuan Qian put on makeup half an hour ago and waited for the recording to start. Because they were late, wow she lost her temper in the lounge and refused to record.

       The two of them had finished filming a 30-episode TV series with Yuan Qian, but the relationship between them was not so good, and they were not even close.

　　Yuan Qian was a little arrogant and had some temper for a lady. As men, Wen Jianing and Wen Lin had been accommodating to her when filming, but they didn’t expect that now that the filming was finished, they still had to accommodate her when recording a promotional program.

        Wen Tinghuan said, “After all, we are late and at fault. I will go and apologize to the Missy.”

　　Wen Jianing grabbed her and said, “I’ll go.”

　　Although Wen Tinghuan was capable, she was a woman after all. Wen Jianing felt that it didn’t feel right to let a woman do this kind of thing, and Yuan Qian might not be any gentle to Wen Tinghuan.

　　As a result, Wen Jianing personally apologized to Yuan Qian.

　　In Yuan Qian’s lounge, she and her agent Xu Wen were both there. Xu Wen was known for her aggressive personality on the road. She didn’t say anything when she saw Wen Jianing come in.

　　Wen Jianing was sincere, he explained the reason for his late arrival and said “sorry” without being condescending.

　　Before Yuan Qian spoke, Xu Wen said, “Miss Yuan has another appointment in the evening.” It means she was blaming Wen Jianing for wasting their time.

　　Wen Jianing pretended not to understand, and said, “Then we have to start recording quickly, otherwise we will delay Miss Yuan’s appointment even further.”

       Yuan Qian said, “It’s been delayed, what’s the point of saying this now?”

　　Wen Jianing felt that Yuan Qian was deliberately looking for trouble. It was just a trivial matter, but she had to make a mountain out of a molehill.*

　　Sure enough, as if she was venting her anger, Yuan Qian stood up and said, “No more recording!”

       Xu Wen was surprised, she stood up and tried to persuade Yuan Qian by saying, “What’s the matter?” This and that is a different things. She understood that Yuan Qian was unhappy that Wen Jianing and Wen Lin were late, but the show had to be recorded. Otherwise, she would not only violate the contract but also offended Starlight TV station, which was not worthwhile.

       Wen Jianing just felt that Yuan Qian’s emotions were inexplicable. If she didn’t want to do the recording, it had nothing to do with him anyway.

       But soon, the program director and TV station staff came in to persuade her, and Xu Wen had been pulling Yuan Qian next to her but Yuan Qian didn’t budge.

       Then the program started recording.

       This was a popular entertainment program with four hosts and four guests. In addition to the three of them, there was also a female guest who was also an actress in ‘The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix’.

       Yuan Qian was absent-minded the whole time. Although she was still smiling when she was supposed to laugh, as long as the host’s topic was not on her, her face was cold and expressionless.

        The program director was holding his breath below and couldn’t exhale properly.

　　When playing a game later, Yuan Qian smashed a toy ball directly on Wen Lin’s face, and the audience gave a cry of surprise.

　　The host hurried over to ask Wen Lin if there was anything wrong.

       Wen Lin shook his head.

　　Wen Jianing stood next to him, reached out and lifted Wen Lin’s face to the light and found a thin gash smashed into his cheekbone.

       Wen Tinghuan and Wen Lin’s assistant, Zhu Zexin stood in the audience and saw this scene, and cursed under their breath.

　　The recording of the show dragged on until late at night.

　　Wen Jianing and Wen Lin dealt with the autographs of the enthusiastic fans for a while and then struggled to get out and return to the backstage area.

　　Walking to the dressing room, Zhu Zexin told Wen Lin to treat the wound.

　　Wen Lin laughed, “What can be done with this, such a small wound.”

        As they walked to the dressing room, Zhu Zexin told Wen Lin to treat the wound.

        Wen Lin chuckled, “What is there to deal with, it’s just a small wound.”

       As soon as Wen Lin finished speaking, Wen Jianing saw a man walking in their direction across the corridor. The man was tall, his coat was open, and his shirt was not neatly buttoned. The man turned out to be Li Rong.

　　Li Rong was originally walking to Yuan Qian’s door lounge and stopped, but after seeing Wen Jianing, he then walked in his direction.

　　“Are you here to record a program?” Li Rong asked.

        The corridor suddenly became quiet, Wen Tinghuan and Zhu Zexin knew who Li Rong was, and they looked at each other in surprise without saying a word. Wen Lin didn’t know who Li Rong was, and looked at him curiously.

　　Wen Jianing was puzzled for a moment and soon understood why Li Rong appeared here. Instead of answering Li Rong’s question, he asked, “Picking up a friend?”

　　Li Rong smiled upon hearing this, and said, “Taking care of something.”

        Then, Li Rong said to Wen Jianing, “Come out for a drink sometime, I won’t bother you today.”

　　After he said that, he turned around and walked toward Yuan Qian’s lounge. After he opened the door and going in, he closed the door heavily.

　　Wen Jianing turned around and asked Wen Tinghuan, “Li Rong and Yuan Qian?”

　　Wen Tinghuan said, “That’s her official boyfriend. You don’t know?”

        Wen Jianing shook his head. He really didn’t know it. Maybe it was something that happened this year. He was just a starlet who just debuted. There was no channel to understand many things, and he didn’t even want to think about it.

　　It was just, “How do you know Li Rong?” Wen Tinghuan found it incredible, and Li Rong was obviously very polite to Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Jianing laughed and said nothing.

        At this time, the little fresh meat* successfully hit the black ball into the pocket. He was a little excited, smiling and turning his head to look at Lu Jinlang.

　　Lu Jinlang patted him on the waist and stepped to the side to not interfere with Wen Jianing as he continued to play.

　　Wen Jianing calculated the direction of the next ball with his cue, raised his head and saw Li Rong standing next to him, looking at him with a cigarette in his mouth.

　　To be precise, everyone in this room was looking at him now, except for Yan Ruowei.

　　Yan Ruowei was looking at Lu Jinlang. He moved slowly to Lu Jinlang’s side, and said in a low voice, “Are you taking a break recently? I heard you just finished filming Fang Wei’s movie.”

　　Lu Jinlang was still watching Wen Jianing, but divided his mind to answer Yan Ruowei’s question, “Yes, I plan to rest for half a year.”

　　Yan Ruowei felt a little angry, and asked Lu Jinlang, “Do you think he is better than me?”

　　Lu Jinlang looked at him upon hearing the words and said, “You two have nothing to compare.”

　　When he heard Lu Jinlang’s answer, Yan Ruowei didn’t know for a moment whether he should be happy or sad.

        Suddenly, there was a loud sound of billiard balls colliding on the front table, and a red ball quickly rolled in their direction and fell into the pocket.

       Yan Ruowei was startled. When he looked up, he saw Wen Jianing standing opposite, and just straightened up without looking at them. He walked half a circle around the table to find the next target.

       Wen Jianing had to admit that Li Rong’s ball skills were much better than Yang Wenchong’s. Wen Jianing couldn’t hold him down at all. In the third game, the two of them were going back and forth, but they could not score one after another smoothly, which made the game a bit more watchable.

        Guan Xiaotian also shifted his attention and focused on the game.

　　Li Rong smoked frequently. The young model next to him kept watch over him and lit his cigarette when he saw the right time. Li Rong seemed to have a calm expression, but he still glared at Yan Ruowei between the breaks. Yan Ruowei didn’t dare to stay with Lu Jinlang anymore and moved back to Li Rong.

        The score between the two was very tight.

　　Wen Jianing had played with many people in this circle, and it was the first time to play with someone as powerful as Li Rong.

　　Li Rong narrowly won the first game.

　　However, in the second game, Wen Jianing started the game first, and the situation reversed.

　　No one knew who came up with it. Every time Li Rong scored a goal, the group of young models cheered for him. Li Rong suddenly got angry and shouted, “Shut up!”

　　Yang Wenchong smiled and laughed when he saw it. He went to the waiter and took a small plastic horn for the party. After Wen Jianing scored a goal, he blew the horn and knocked on the table.

        Li Rong yelled, “fvck!”, he pulled off the cigarette end in his mouth and threw it at him.

　　Wen Jianing played the next two in a row, and when the last black ball fell in the pocket, the winner was decided, he narrowly beat Li Rong.

　　He put the cue back, looked at Yang Wenchong and said, “Young Master Yang?” He waited for Yang Wenchong to make a statement.

　　Yang Wenchong threw a wink over to signal him not to be impatient, He ran to find Li Rong to settle the gambling.

　　Li Rong snorted coldly and sat down next to the bar, but he was willing to admit defeat.

       Wen Jianing, who won the game, was in a good mood and raised his hand to catch it when Li Rong threw a cigarette over.

　　A little beauty next to him came up to help him light a cigarette, and said, “Gege, you are so handsome.”

　　Wen Jianing caught fire and lit the smoke, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled the smoke to calm himself down a little. He saw Lu Jinlang watching him, so he waved to Lu Jinlang.

　　Lu Jinlang walked up to him with a smile, and said what the girl just now said, “Gege, you are so handsome.”

　　Wen Jianing had a smile in his eyes, put the cigarette between his fingers, and brought it to Lu Jinlang’s mouth.

        Lu Jinlang took a breath, and then approached Wen Jianing’s ear, exhaling all the smoke to his ears.

　　Wen Jianing felt itchy and cowered as he raised his arm to rest on Lu Jinlang’s shoulder.

       Guan Xiaotian planned to leave at this time. He came out of his love for billiards to stand next to these people and finish watching the game. Now that the game was over, he was not interested in staying any longer.

　　He didn’t have any problem with Li Rong and the rich men who come out to spend a lot of time and drink. The most uncomfortable thing for him was those who were obviously men but were willing to sell themselves to other men to sleep.

　　Just before leaving, Guan Xiaotian couldn’t help looking at Wen Jianing more, seemingly feeling a bit sorry for him.

       Li Rong lost the game, and a group of handsome men and beautiful women gathered around him to comfort him. He actually didn’t care too much. Yang Wenchong was chatting beside him, but Li Rong felt he was making noises like he was like a fly and cursed, “Get out!”

        Yang Wenchong smiled and said, “Rong ge, can’t afford to lose, eh?”

　　Li Rong looked at him coldly, “Do you dare to do it yourself?”**

　　Of course Yang Wenchong didn’t dare to. He was in high spirits at this time, raised his hand and knocked on the bar, saying, “Let’s go! I invite everyone to drink and sing. I will pay all  the bills tonight!”

　　Li Rong “hum” silently.

　　Lu Jinlang asked Wen Jianing, “Do you want to sing?”

　　Wen Jianing shook his head. He wanted to go back and have a rest

　　But then, before he could refuse, Yang Wenchong had already said to him, “Let’s go baby, don’t spoil the fun.”

　　Wen Jianing smiled, “Who is your baby?”

　　Yang Wenchong said, “Of course it is you. You are the light, you are the electricity, and you are the only myth. You are my superstar. Going back so early to fvck ah? Let’s walk around and have fun!”

        Wen Jianing was amused and angry at once, and the other party was so shameless that he couldn’t care about it.

　　At this time, Li Rong said to Lu Jinlang, “What? Your friend couldn’t even accompany him for a bit?”

　　Lu Jinlang looked at Wen Jianing, and said, “It’s up to you.”

       Wen Jianing never liked to spoil others’ fun, so he nodded and said, “Let’s go together.”

　　Lu Jinlang replied, “Go back first if you are tired.”

　　Then Yang Wenchong called the waiter and asked her to prepare a private room for them since they were going to sing.

       Although Wen Jianing followed, he didn’t have much interest in singing. Li Rong and Lu Jinlang didn’t sing either. They sat on the sofa and talked in low voices. Just a few starlets came one by one. Their purpose was to please Li Rong and the others.

　　Compared to Li Rong, Yang Wenchong seemed to be more approachable, and from time to time someone would pull him up and sing together. He was in a good mood today, almost responsive to every request.

　　Wen Jianing felt a little tired after listening to a few songs. He leaned his head against Lu Jinlang’s shoulder beside him. He saw Yan Ruowei sitting on the other side of the sofa, drinking a cup of wine after another.

　　Lu Jinlang raised his hand to embrace Wen Jianing’s shoulder, making him lean more comfortably.

　　Wen Jianing suddenly thought that no matter what Lu Jinlang thought of him and the relationship between them, he didn’t treat him like Yang Wenchong, Li Rong and the others, and he should feel thankful to him. Probably because of this, Yan Ruowei was still reluctant to give up Lu Jinlang.

        Li Rong smiled and asked Lu Jinlang, “Are you serious about this? Does your second brother know?”

　　Lu Jinlang also smiled and said nothing.

　　Wen Jianing rested quietly on Lu Jinlang’s shoulder and saw Yan Ruowei go up and sit in front of the display screen and clicked a song to sing.

　　He looked at Yan Ruowei’s delicate silhouette reflected on his face by the light, and suddenly couldn’t help asking Lu Jinlang, “Is he your former lover?”

　　Lu Jinlang calmly replied, “It’s already a thing of the past.”

　　Wen Jianing gave a soft “um” and did not continue to ask.

　　Yang Wenchong sat over with a glass of wine at this time, he insisted on calling Wen Jianing up to play games with everyone together.

　　Wen Jianing knew it was time for drinking, he sat upright and did not refuse Yang Wenchong, but before then asked Lu Jinlang, “If I get drunk, will you take me back?”

        Lu Jinlang chuckled, and asked, “What else? Should I throw you out?”

　　Wen Jianing leaned close to his ear and said, “I am afraid of getting drunk, do you know why?”

　　Lu Jinlang looked at him.

　　Wen Jianing said, “I’m afraid of being discovered that I am not a normal man.”

　　Lu Jinlang reached out and grabbed his nose, “Who said you weren’t?”

　　Wen Jianing grabbed his hand, “That’s why I am always afraid of getting drunk.”

　　Lu Jinlang said softly, “It’s okay, just drink. I promise I won’t be drunk, and I will take you back if you drink too much. I’m the only one in the world that can see, okay?”

　　Wen Jianing smiled at him.

　　Yang Wenchong urged him, “What are you talking about secretly? Hurry up!”

　　Wen Jianing raised his chin and said, “I’m coming!”

　　They played games and drank wine that day. Everyone drank a lot at the back. Wen Jianing was drunk and didn’t make any noise. He just stuck to Lu Jinlang and refused to leave.

       When Lu Jinlang wanted to stand up, Wen Jianing quickly reached out and hugged Lu Jinlang’s waist, not letting him go away.

　　Li Rong looked at it interestingly, and said to Lu Jinlang, “Where did you find the baby?”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled slightly, bent down to hug Wen Jianing, and said, “No more games for us, we’ll go back first.”

        Yang Wenchong raised his hand and waved, “Go back slowly!”

　　Yan Ruowei raised his head to look at him, then lowered his head again.

　　Lu Jinlang took Wen Jianing out of the room, but Wen Jianing struggled. So he had to put him down again and asked, “What’s the matter?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Don’t want you to carry me like this.” But he was already unsteady.

　　Lu Jinlang patiently said, “Then, shall I carry you on my back?”

　　He squatted down in front of Wen Jianing, and after a while, he felt Wen Jianing lying on his back.

        Lu Jinlang picked him up on his back and walked forward slowly.

　　Wen Jianing called out, “Lu Jinlang.”

　　“Hmm?” Lu Jinlang responded softly.

　　Wen Jianing did not continue but started humming a song. Lu Jinlang recognized that it was a song from a well-known episode in the movie ‘Duel’ in which he starred.

　　Halfway through humming, Wen Jianing stopped suddenly as if he were stuck, and then stopped making a sound.

　　Lu Jinlang thought Wen Jianing was asleep and went all the way back to the small place where the two stayed, and put Wen Jianing on the big bed in the room, only to realize that Wen Jianing had his eyes open.

　　He reached out his hand and pinched Wen Jianing’s nose.

　　Wen Jianing grabbed his hand and brought it to his lips for a kiss.

　　Lu Jinlang asked him, “Are you seducing me?”

        Wen Jianing nodded.

　　Lu Jinlang smiled and reached out to unbutton his shirt.

　　Wen Jianing lay on the bed, raised his leg and started to take off his pants.

　　With the help of Lu Jinlang, he stripped his whole body naked, then knelt down on the bed and stretched out his hand towards his lower body.

       He couldn’t see the place when he held it with one hand. He raised his head to look at Lu Jinlang, with a slightly aggrieved expression.

        Lu Jinlang sat down on the edge of the bed with a smile and put his hand around him.

　　The next morning, Wen Jianing woke up and felt a headache. It was the aftereffect of drinking wine. He even felt that there was still some alcohol between his breaths.

　　After sitting up for a while, Wen Jianing asked Lu Jinlang, who was lying in bed looking at his mobile phone, “Did I do anything strange last night?”

       Lu Jinlang held the phone on his chest and said to him, “It’s nothing, just remember not to get drunk when I am away.”

　　Wen Jianing raised his hand and ruffled his messy hair.

       Wen Jianing didn’t show his thoughts on his face.

　　Before they finished the meal, Yang Wenchong suddenly burst in from outside. He laughed and greeted Lu Jinlang, “Brother Lu!* You are here!” They didn’t know where he learned the news that Lu Jinlang had come over.

       Then he came over and took Lu Jinlang’s hand. He patted him on the shoulder and said, “Today you also brought my little brother. Just in time! There are some things I want to discuss with you.”

        Wen Jianing felt a little funny. He wanted to say who is your brother? But he still had a smile on his face.

　　“What’s the matter?” Lu Jinlang asked calmly, without hurry.

　　Yang Wenchong said, “I would like to ask little brother Ke** to help me play a game. If he wins, I will give him 500,000 as a reward.”

　　Lu Jinlang asked, “How much do you bet against someone?”

　　Yang Wenchong laughed out loud, “It’s hard to say Jinlang, you’d better not ask.”

　　Lu Jinlang looked at Wen Jianing, meaning to ask him if he would agree.

　　In fact, Wen Jianing was already excited when he heard about the game. He propped his head with one hand and smiled and asked Yang Wenchong, “It’s snooker?”

        Yang Wenchong said, “It’s snooker, baby.”

　　Wen Jianing was a little hesitant.

　　Lu Jinlang then said, “If we lose, it had nothing to do with us. If we win, you can buy him a car.”

        Yang Wenchong hesitated for a moment, “What car?”

        Lu Jinlang then said, “He will pick the ones within one million.”

　　Yang Wenchong thought for a moment and said, “Okay! No problem! The premise is to win!” But then he said to Lu Jinlang, “You are the boyfriend, but can not afford to buy a car for someone, and still come to blackmail me?”

        Lu Jinlang said frankly, “We talk about feelings, not money.”

　　Wen Jianing smiled slightly when he said that.

　　Yang Wenchong pointed to Wen Jianing and said, “Look at your guilty face, not promising!”

　　Wen Jianing did not refute.

        After Yang Wenchong signed the bill for them, he hurried them to the billiard room now. When they arrived, Wen Jianing found that there were many people inside. He knew some, but he was not familiar with all of them.

　　One of the big names that were present was a young master surnamed Li. His name was Li Rong. Like Yang Wenchong, he was famous for playing around. In addition, there was a tall and handsome young man named Yan Ruowei, who had acted in several plays, TV dramas and movies, and was a little famous, but was not a big hit. Others were mostly small stars, and Wen Jianing couldn’t even name them.

       However, Wen Jianing had been very popular on the internet recently. As soon as he came in, many people recognized him, but everyone’s attention was still on Lu Jinlang.

       Especially Yan Ruowei, his eyes suddenly changed when Lu Jinlang entered. He never looked away from Lu Jinlang.

        Lu Jinlang greeted Li Rong first.

　　Li Rong said with a smile, “I had a meal with your second brother the day before yesterday.”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled and said, “Is he okay? I haven’t seen him for a long time.”

　　Li Rong said, “Pretty good, he seems to be living quite well.”

        Li Rong was a little different from Yang Wenchong. Yang Wenchong had money in his family but he had nothing to do in the family. However, Li Rong was also a ruthless character and did a lot of business outside, besides just playing around.

　　After he spoke, Li Rong turned his head to look at Yan Ruowei, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pat his back firmly, and said, “If you want to say hello, just say it. Look, your eyes are about to fall out.”

　　Yan Ruowei seemed a little embarrassed and looked away.

　　Lu Jinlang took the initiative to greet him, “It’s been a long time since I saw you, Ruowei. How are you doing?”

　　Yan Ruowei said softly, “Pretty good.” After speaking, he glanced at Wen Jianing again.

　　Li Rong was also looking at Wen Jianing. He usually managed a lot of things, but he didn’t know who Wen Jianing was. He just thought Wen Jianing was a starlet brought by Lu Jinlang.

        A model next to him said, “This is Ke Xinhang, right? Young Master Yang taste is quite good.”

　　She thought Ke Xinhang was brought by Yang Wenchong, so she joked with him casually.

　　Yang Wenchong, who was asking for help from Wen Jianing quickly said, “Don’t talk nonsense, this is a friend of the great Film Emperor Lu.”

　　Of course, the model didn’t dare to make a joke with Lu Jinlang. She was a little surprised, and glanced at several people around her, and then looked curiously at Wen Jianing.

　　Yan Ruowei’s face instantly became sour.

        Wen Jianing watched all this silently, if he still couldn’t see what Yan Ruowei had with Lu Jinlang, then he had been living in vain for more than 30 years. At least Yan Ruowei’s interest in Lu Jinlang was one sidedly.

       Lu Jinlang was very calm, said a few words with Li Rong, and then said that he was just an audience. He waited for Yang Wenchong to come out to express his opinion.

　　Yang Wenchong smiled and said to Li Rong, “It’s as agreed that we will do one game to determine the outcome and it’s okay for me to be substituted with my brother.”

　　Li Rong asked him, “Where is your brother?”

　　Yang Wenchong stretched out his hand and pulled Wen Jianing, “He’s here!”

　　Li Rong sat on the high stool and snorted, “You just said this is Jinlang’s friend, how come he has become your brother now?”

　　Yang Wenchong said with a sullen expression, “Why can’t Jinlang’s friend be my brother? If you can’t afford to lose, just say it. Why the sudden change of mind?”

　　Yan Ruowei kept enduring it until he couldn’t hold back anymore, and said, “Young Master Yang, why do you find someone like this to play billiards with Boss Li? It’s more interesting to let him dance on the platform.”

        Lu Jinlang frowned slightly and looked at Yan Ruowei.

　　Yan Ruowei lowered his eyes and stopped talking.

　　Several starlets in the room gathered in one place whispering.

　　Li Rong smiled and said to Yang Wenchong, “How are you so confident that he can beat me?”

　　Yang Wenchong glanced at Wen Jianing and nodded vigorously, “Dare to gamble on this one?”

       Li Rong stood up, took off his jacket and asked Yan Ruowei to hold it for him, then slowly rolled up his shirt buttons, and said to Wen Jianing, “It is not fair to decide the outcome in one round, let’s do three rounds. But I have to make sure about one thing. Are you here to help Yang Wenchong win the bet?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Yes.”

　　Li Rong smiled, “Well, if you win, I will surrender. But if I win, I want to change the conditions. Today you let me sleep with you.”

　　Wen Jianing was a little bit dumbfounded for an instant.

　　Lu Jinlang said calmly, “Boss Li, it’s too much. I said he was my friend.”

　　Li Rong was not afraid of Lu Jinlang. He said, “Who told you to let your friend help Yang Wenchong? He either accepts the terms of the bet or withdraws himself from the hustle.”

       Before Lu Jinlang spoke, Wen Jianing first opened his mouth and said to Li Rong, “Boss Li, does it mean this is a gamble between us?”

　　“Uh-huh,” Li Rong looked at him and waited for him to continue.

　　Wen Jianing said, “In that case, I also want to change the conditions. The bet between you and Young Master Yang remains the same. On top of that, I’ll add another one. If you win, I’ll let you sleep with me, and if I win, you’ll let me sleep with you.***”

　　The entire billiard room fell silent for an instant, leaving only the soft music on the stereo.

　　Yang Wenchong wiped away his cold sweat and stretched out his hand to pull Wen Jianing.

        Li Rong half-squinted his eyes. It was unclear whether he was angry or not.

　　At this time it was Lu Jinlang who came out to round things up, he put one arm around Wen Jianing’s shoulders and asked, “Do you want to sleep with Boss Li?”

       Wen Jianing turned his head. Of course, he didn’t want to sleep with Li Rong. Even if Li Rong agreed and really lost to him, he wouldn’t sleep with Li Rong unless he was crazy.

　　He just wanted to distress Li Rong. What he was waiting for was that Lu Jinlang would not stand idly by. He said to Lu Jinlang, “What do you say? Let’s have a 3P tonight?”

       Lu Jinlang squeezed Wen Jianing’s arm with his fingers. He didn’t smile. He didn’t want to offend Li Rong, but Yang Wenchong, who was next to him, heard Wen Jianing say 3P, imagined the scene, and immediately buried his head and kicked the floor with his own leather shoes.

　　Lu Jinlang said to Li Rong, “Boss Li, how about this, I will also participate in the bet. If you win, I’ll pay the bet together with Yang Wenchong; if you lose, you only need to pay the original share promised to Yang Wenchong, how about that?”

　　Li Rong put his arms on his chest, looked at Wen Jianing and smiled.

　　Lu Jinlang asked Wen Jianing, “Do you still want to have a 3P?”

　　Wen Jianing said hurriedly this time, “I wouldn’t dare. I’m talking nonsense, don’t be angry, Boss Li.”

　　The people in this room really didn’t know whether Li Rong was angry or not, but Lu Jinlang already made a clear statement. Li Rong would not offend Lu Jinlang for such a trivial matter. He nodded, compromising and agreeing to Lu Jinlang’s request.

　　Just as the game was about to begin, Guan Xiaotian suddenly pushed open the door from outside.

　　Looking at the people in this room, Guan Xiaotian was a little stunned, but he quickly reacted and greeted the people here with a smile.

　　Guan Xiaotian and Wen Jianing were in the same social circle, and they were not familiar with people in the circle of Lu Jinlang and Li Rong, but since they were in the entertainment circle, they could still act superficially.

　　Yang Wenchong invited Guan Xiaotian to stay to watch the game, and Guan Xiaotian did not refuse to stay.

　　Wen Jianing didn’t have time to care about Guan Xiaotian at this time. He was a little nervous because he was sure to win against Yang Wenchong before because he had seen Yang Wenchong play, but he never had the opportunity to watch Li Rong play. And since Yang Wenchong came to him, Li Rong’s strength must not be under Yang Wenchong.

　　What he said just now was a joke, but if Li Rong really agreed to his terms, maybe he wouldn’t dare to bet. Who knew if he or Li Rong would win. Even if he really won, Li Rong would not care to lie down and let him do him, and he might have no choice.

　　Wen Jianing habitually rubs the club repeatedly with his thumb, which was a subconscious action when he was serious.

　　No one else thought it was strange, but Guan Xiaotian, who was watching the game nearby, began to subconsciously observe him after noticing the movement of his hand.

　　At this time, Yang Wenchong walked behind Wen Jianing and reached out to help Wen Jianing rub his shoulder, and whispered, “Don’t be afraid of him, I know Li Rong’s strength, and he’s not your opponent.”

　　Wen Jianing did not speak.

　　Yang Wenchong lowered his voice and said, “It’s all up to you, baby.”

　　Wen Jianing finally glanced at him and said, “Don’t take advantage.”

        Yang Wenchong just took advantage with his words. After seeing him for so long, Lu Jinlang still took Wen Jianing with him and attached great importance to him. So he was simply just imagining other thoughts but didn’t intend to practice them. Of course, if one day Lu Jinlang has had enough, he could consider it. However, looking at Wen Jianing’s current momentum, he felt that even when Lu Jinlang had enough, the other party was probably not someone he could afford to play with either.

　　The first game was a coin toss to set the opening ball, and Li Rong won to take the lead.

　　He started very smoothly, with a series of red balls and a colourful ball falling into the pocket easily.

　　Wen Jianing was originally standing next to the table, but then he retreated to stand beside Lu Jinlang.

       There was an orange light shining on his head. Wen Jianing’s face looked white and transparent under the light, and his cheeks were slightly red.

        Lu Jinlang was so excited that he put his arm around his waist and pressed his lips on Wen Jianing’s cheek.

　　Wen Jianing stood still and just asked, “Do you think it is appropriate to do this kind of thing here?”

　　Lu Jinlang whispered in his ear, “I just get a little excited thinking of you in bed like this.”

　　Wen Jianing glanced at him.

　　Lu Jinlang smiled.

　　Guan Xiaotian, who was standing opposite the table, frowned uncomfortably when he saw the intimacy between them.

       Li Rong’s smooth start made Yang Wenchong’s palm sweat. Wen Jianing raised his hand and gently pressed his lower lip with his thumb. Only Lu Jinlang’s attention was put half on Wen Jianing. For example, he wanted to replace Wen Jianing’s fingers with his own.

       Yan Ruowei held his arms in front of his chest. Obviously, he was looking at Li Rong, but he kept looking in the direction of Lu Jinlang and the others, his face was cold and expressionless.

　　A young model came to Guan Xiaotian to talk to him. Guan Xiaotian responded politely. At the same time, he was thinking about the starlet called Ke Xinhang. Ke Xinhang had many habitual actions that would be very similar to Wen Jianing.

       The music in the billiard room had stopped. Everyone didn’t dare to interrupt Li Rong’s play. They lower their voice when they want to talk, and the loudest sound in the whole room was the sound of two balls colliding on the table.

　　A single tap made Yang Wenchong’s nerves tense.

　　Thanks to the mistake made by Li Rong, it was finally Wen Jianing’s turn to hit the ball.

　　But at this time, the position of the ball was not very good. Wen Jianing watched carefully by the side of the stage for a long time and aimed at the black ball with the highest score.

       The black ball’s position was not particularly good. If he couldn’t score with this ball, it would more or less be discouraging, to be honest.

　　Guan Xiaotian looked at his movements and felt an unspeakable familiarity. He used to play with Wen Jianing and knew better than anyone else about Wen Jianing’s small habits.

　　At this time, Wen Jianing, who had chosen a position, turned his head and glanced at Lu Jinlang. He didn’t know why he did this unnecessary action, as if he was subconsciously seeking support from the other party.

　　Lu Jinlang walked to Wen Jianing, put his hand on the ambiguous position between his lower back and buttocks, and said, “I said it’s on me if you lose, so what are you afraid of.”

　　Wen Jianing nodded.

　　Guan Xiaotian was in a daze for a moment. He felt that he was obsessed, and even felt that this boy was a little like Wen Jianing. When he saw him standing next to people like Lu Jinlang and Li Rong, he was clearly a fat and juicy piece of fresh meat from the entertainment industry, provoking the group of men around, and was not ashamed of being touched and kissed by others.

　　Guan Xiaotian shook his head and lit himself a cigarette.
