       The next day, after Wen Jianing returned to the company, He Chaoshu looked for him excitedly and told him that he had received the news from the crew of ‘October Fireworks’, and that he was scheduled to play the role, so he should finalize his schedule and signed a contract with the cast as soon as possible

　　Being able to be in Fang Wei’s play, even if it was an insignificant small role, was a very rare opportunity for newcomers like him.

       For this reason, the original plan to let him and Wen Lin make their debut together was postponed. The company planned to wait until Wen Jianing’s ‘October Fireworks’ filming was over before formally planning the next step for him and Wen Lin.

　　But in this way, they would have to postpone Wen Lin’s activities. This was also something that Wen Jianing couldn’t help.

　　It was a matter of patience to shoot Fang Wei’s scenes because Fang Wei was very strict about his movies, and every shot has to be mulled over for a long time. There had even been cases where a scene was not finished even after a whole day.

　　Despite this, there were still countless actors who had sharpened their heads and wanted to squeeze in. It was purely because of Fang Wei’s fame and reputation. Even big name actors like Lu Jinlang, and Wen Jianing, also cherished the opportunity to cooperate with Fang Wei.

　　Wen Jianing had no other work on his hands and quickly finalized the time for joining the group. However, it was not certain when the shooting would end.

       The story of ‘October Fireworks’ began in the early 1990s. Jiang Zixin was the male lead from a wealthy family in a big city, and he accidentally injured someone into a coma in a fight. He was afraid of being targeted, so he escaped and came to a remote town.

　　The shooting site was chosen in a remote and poor town on the mainland. In an attempt to restore the atmosphere of the early 1990s. Most of the location filming of the play would be completed here.

       The airline ticket was given by the company, but Wen Jianing didn’t have an assistant around him, and his agent wouldn’t come here with him, so he could only come alone with a suitcase. Fortunately, the crew sent a car to pick him up and settled him in a four-star hotel in a county-level city closest to the town.

　　After he settled down, Wen Jianing inquired about the crew and learned that Lu Jinlang and the others also stayed in this hotel. However, they were filming in the town now, and it was not certain if the scene would be finished today, and they would come back to the hotel only after it was over.

       Although he had already joined the group, according to the arrangement, there might not necessarily be Wen Jianing’s scene tomorrow.

　　He had read the script of ‘October Fireworks’ many times, and the character he played this time is called Ma Jianguo, who was a high school classmate of the heroine Qin Ruo. These two people were in the same class. He was a good student who was serious about studying hard but secretly loved the clever Qin Ruo.

       There were actually only very few scenes, and of course, there was no need for complex emotional expressions. For Wen Jianing, this was a very easy thing.

　　Wen Jianing’s room was a standard room. Before he moved in, one bed was already occupied by someone. According to the crew, he was also a supporting actor.

　　After dinner in the evening, the crew returned one after another.

　　In the same room with Wen Jianing was a young actor. Wen Jianing didn’t know him, but he had seen the talent show that Wen Jianing participated in before.

　　“Ke Xinhang?” The young man named Zhang Chu was a little excited, “My sister watched your talent show before and has always liked you.”

       Wen Jianing smiled politely, “Thank you.”

       Zhang Chu had been running outside all day, so at this time, he was sweating all over. He stood by the bed very freely and began to take off his clothes, and then planned to take a shower.

　　Zhang Chu taking off his clothes in front of Wen Jianing was of course nothing to Wen Jianing. But Wen Jianing felt it was a little difficult to stay with Zhang Chu.

　　Of course, he wouldn’t take off only a pair of underwear and walk around in front of Zhang Chu without it, but he was also a man. If he had to go in and close the bathroom even to change his pants, he would look a little obnoxious.

　　At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside.

　　Wen Jianing went to open the door and saw that it was Lu Yunan.

　　Zhang Chu looked up and was surprised to see Lu Yunan because everyone in the crew knew that Lu Yunan was Lu Jinlang’s assistant.

　　Lu Yunan smiled politely at Wen Jianing, and said, “I heard that you are here, and I am afraid that you are not used to living with strangers, so I come and invite you to stay in my room.”

       Wen Jianing immediately understood that this was not Lu Yunan’s invitation, but Lu Jinlang’s invitation. He just let Lu Yunan do this under the guise. Perhaps Lu Jinlang also knew that it was inconvenient for him to live with others.

       Just like this, Wen Jianing accepted his kindness, explained to Zhang Chu, carried his suitcase and moved out with Lu Yunan.

　　Lu Jinlang lived in the suite on the top floor of the restaurant. There was a second bedroom in it, which should have been Lu Yunan’s room.

　　But now Lu Yunan gave the room to Wen Jianing and went to reopen a room by himself.

　　After he entered the room, Lu Yunan helped him take his luggage to the room. He walked towards the master bedroom and saw Lu Jinlang fall asleep on the bed without changing his clothes.

　　Lu Yunan came over to help Lu Jinlang take off his shoes, but Wen Jianing said, “I’ll do it.”

　　So Lu Yunan nodded and said softly, “Mr. Ke, I’m going out first. Call me if you need something.”

　　Wen Jianing stopped him and said, “Call me Xinhang.”

　　Lu Yunan smiled and nodded.

　　After Lu Yunan went out, Wen Jianing helped Lu Jinlang take off his shoes. He then carried his legs to the bed and pulled the quilt over him.

　　Lu Jinlang was probably too tired. Wen Jianing himself had shot some scenes with Fang Wei and knew the feeling of extreme fatigue.

　　But no matter what, Wen Jianing now felt a lot more secure with Lu Jinlang. For example, he could finally relax and change into pyjamas without considering whether he needed to go into the bathroom and changed with the door closed.

　　Lu Jinlang slept for more than two hours before he woke up. He came out of the room and saw Wen Jianing sitting on the sofa in his pyjamas playing on his mobile phone.

　　”Moving here?” Lu Jinlang asked.

　　Wen Jianing replied, “It’s been a while, you were asleep.”

　　Lu Jinlang walked to the sofa and sat down, “Sorry, I’m a little tired.”

　　”Yunan said he’s giving me the room. Is it okay?” Wen Jianing asked.

　　”It’s okay. If your scenes finish fast, it won’t take long.”

　　Later, Lu Jinlang called the restaurant to bring dinner. After dinner, he went back to his room to have a rest.

　　Wen Jianing remembered the last time the two of them parted somewhat unhappily. In fact, when Lu Jinlang asked him that question, his answer was not satisfying.

       He once put forward a condition to Lu Jinlang that he thought the other party could not do. In fact, to put it bluntly, he was unwilling to carry out the agreement. Although he continued to accept the benefits given to him by Lu Jinlang, he still insisted on this condition. Wen Jianing himself felt that it was somewhat hypocritical, but that was what he thought.

　　He didn’t think he and Lu Jinlang couldn’t take the last step, but he hoped that at least it would come naturally and willingly. Even if it did not involve any exchange of affection and was purely to relieve desire, it didn’t matter as long as each other was willing.

　　But Lu Jinlang might see it that way.

　　The first night was spent in this quiet atmosphere of silence. The next morning, Wen Jianing followed the crew’s car to the small town where the shooting took place.

       Lu Jinlang had his own rental car, hired a local driver, and Lu Yunan followed along.

　　Wen Jianing couldn’t get in Lu Jinlang’s car. Instead, he sat in the car of the crew.

　　The assistant director in charge of personnel’s scheduling told him that there was his scene this afternoon, which was filmed in the local middle school. However, the filming of the heroine’s personal scenes started in the morning, but the filming was not successfully completed until the afternoon.

       Fang Wei used a new actress this time, which was selected from the film school because his request was only two words: fresh and pure.

　　‘October Fireworks’ was the story of Jiang Zixin, who came to the town and rented an old house. It was an old-fashioned four-story building with a staircase at the end and a passage up to an open balcony on one side and seven or eight families living side by side on the other.

       Next door to Jiang Zixin’s rented house, there lived a family of three. The parents were teachers at the middle school in the town, and the daughter’s name was Qin Ruo, a senior in high school.

　　On the first day Jiang Zixin moved, he met Qin Ruo squatting on the balcony to wash clothes. He passed behind Qin Ruo, and Qin Ruo turned to look at him. When she saw that he was an unfamiliar young man, she immediately turned back in embarrassment.

　　Lu Jinlang played Jiang Zixin in his twenties at the time. Although his actual age was a few years different, Lu Jinlang, who was wearing a tank top and shorts and had his hair cut short, did not look very different from the character’s age.

　　Today’s whole day’s scenes were shot in the town middle school. They especially chose Sunday to borrow the venue from the school. At the same time, the school asked the school to organize some middle school students as extras.

　　Jin Zhenzhen, who played Qin Ruo, was indeed pure enough in appearance and character but she was a little inexperienced and her acting skills were green.

　　Perhaps what Fang Wei wanted was this kind of freshness.

　　In the morning scene, Qin Ruo met her mother who was teaching at school in the corridor outside the classroom. She was a little distracted and did not even notice when she brushed past her mother. As a result, she was stopped by her mother and scolded. She cried directly in the corridor outside the classroom.

　　Jin Zhenzhen’s emotions were not brewing well, and Fang Wei felt dissatisfied with that crying scene many times.

　　Fang Wei didn’t swear, but his style of directing didn’t give people a detailed explanation of how to move and how to speak the lines. He would only ask you to stop, told you that it was wrong and told you to start over.

　　At this time, Lu Jinlang was resting in his own car, while Wen Jianing was waiting not far away.

　　After shooting more than ten times in a row without success, Jin Zhenzhen was a little anxious. She couldn’t help but flushed with embarrassment. Wen Jianing looked at her and shook his head.

　　As a result, Wen Jianing’s scenes couldn’t be filmed until it was dark, so they jumped directly to the scene where he confessed to Qin Ruo at the school gate at night.

　　This scene was the most important scene of the good student Ma Jianguo played by Wen Jianing.

       The name of the young woman that was with Yang Wenchong was Kitty. She was a magazine model. Although she was beautiful, she was not famous.

       They walked towards the billiards room together. Yang Wenchong walked in front with his arm on Kitty’s waist. Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing walked side by side in the back. They were not in a hurry and thought of it as a little walk after dinner.

       Lu Jinlang asked him, “Can you play?”

       Wen Jianing said, “I know a little bit.”

       Lu Jinlang smiled and said, “Then you can fight with him for me later.”

       Wen Jianing couldn’t help but look at him, “Aren’t you afraid you’ll lose your pants?”

       Lu Jinlang leaned close to his ear, lowered his voice and said, “As long as you wear your pants well, there’s nothing to fear.”

       Wen Jianing was a little annoyed that he joked about his body, but he didn’t want to quarrel about this kind of thing with him in public. So he could only hold back from saying anything.

       Inside the billiard room, no one else was there, except the four of them.

       While the waiter was sorting the table, Yang Wenchong took off his jacket and threw it to Kitty, then walked to Lu Jinlang and said, “How about it? Shall we make some rules first?”

       Lu Jinlang raised his hand and motioned for him to continue.

       Yang Wenchong said with a smile, “Three games to determine the winner. Let’s raise a higher bet, if you win today, Kitty will follow you tonight.”

       Lu Jinlang sat on the high stool next to him, and when he heard Yang Wenchong say this, he just smiled calmly.

       Kitty heard this and looked over. She looked at Yang Wenchong and then at Lu Jinlang.

       “But if I win,” Yang Wenchong continued, “Let your beautiful brother come with me tonight.”

       Wen Jianing coldly grazed his lips.

       Lu Jinlang was not angry, and just said, “Didn’t you have Miss Kitty?”

       Yang Wenchong looked very happy, “I’m going to have 3P*, haha.”

       Lu Jinlang said, “That’s really a shame. You misunderstood Mr. Ke’s relationship with me. He is my friend, and I was just inviting him to dinner. I’m not in a position to use him as a bet.”

       Yang Wenchong obviously didn’t believe it, and said to Lu Jinlang, “You can’t afford to play, eh?”

       Lu Jinlang shook his head, turned around and asked the waiter at the bar to pour him a glass of mineral water.

       Yang Wenchong didn’t give up, and said, “If he’s really not yours, I can bet with him. You wouldn’t mind, right?”

       Lu Jinlang looked at Wen Jianing after hearing the words, and said to Yang Wenchong, “You can try.”

       Although he didn’t leave out Wen Jianing when he said those words just now, Yang Wenchong was not so casual when he spoke to Wen Jianing. He just said, “Interested in making a bet?”

       Wen Jianing politely asked, “How does Young Master Yang want to bet?”

       Before Yang Wenchong could speak, Wen Jianing added, “I don’t want to sleep with Kitty tonight.”

       Kitty’s face suddenly didn’t look very good.

       Yang Wenchong said, “200,000 a match, you in or not? I lose and I’ll give you 200,000. You lose, we’ll have 3P tonight.”

       “If he lost, the 200,000 is on me.” Lu Jinlang said suddenly.

       Yang Wenchong raised his finger and said, “You say it’s none of your business, your words don’t count, ah.”

       Wen Jianing suddenly said, “Bring it on.” He didn’t accept or reject Lu Jinlang’s kindness but began to take off his coat calmly as if he was holding the winning ticket.

       Just then, the door of the billiard room suddenly opened from the outside, and three or four people came in.

       One of them was a well-known rich businessman. The other was a popular young male star. Together with them were two young models.

       These people and Yang Wenchong knew each other, and they also greeted Lu Jinlang politely. He heard that there would be a game soon, and they were immediately full of interest and wanted to stay and enjoy it.

       Lu Jinlang stepped forward to take Wen Jianing’s coat. Suddenly he pressed his hands on Wen Jianing’s head and kissed him.

       Suddenly, there was a roar in the billiard room, and someone whistled.

       After the kiss, Lu Jinlang patted Wen Jianing on the face and said, “Play well, it’s okay.”

       Yang Wenchong was a little unhappy, “Didn’t you say he was just a friend?”

       “Boy friend** can’t do it?” Lu Jinlang said, explicitly and implicitly saying that he would not let Yang Wenchong touch Wen Jianing.

       Yang Wenchong did not say anything and walked to the side to choose the cue. Anyway, he just needs to win this game first.

       The onlookers stayed to see the good play. They were eager to watch Yang Wenchong winning over Wen Jianing, so they could see a good show of someone stolen from Lu Jinlang.

       He said to Wen Jianing, “Gege, will you start first today?”

       Wen Jianing said, “Okay.” He picked up the cue and skillfully powdered the leather head of the cue.

       When they saw his movements, not only Yang Wenchong but also Lu Jinlang was slightly surprised. It seemed that Wen Jianing could do more than just play.

       Sure enough, Wen Jianing hit a shot on the table, the white ball hit directly, and a red ball fell into the pocket. The whole process was crisp and clear. He was obviously an expert.

       Wen Jianing hit the black ball into the pocket with the second ball. While waiting for the waiter to put the black ball back in place, he looked up and smiled in the direction of Lu Jinlang.

       Lu Jinlang then smiled at him too.

       Yang Wenchong’s technique was also good, but Wen Jianing had a wonderful start. After he played, he missed the first ball, so the turn was handed back to Wen Jianing.

       Wen Jianing lay on the table, using his eyes to trace the ideal path of the ball, and then asked the waiter to bring him a cue rack.

       All the people present were slightly surprised.

       Lu Jinlang watched Wen Jianing lie on the table with his back facing him. Under his jeans, there was a rounded buttock silhouette. Wen Jianing would habitually wear long clothes and loose pants to cover his lower body, but at this time, because of this action, he inevitably showed the beautiful buttocks curve in front of Lu Jinlang.

       Lu Jinlang leaned his elbows on the bar counter and propped his head. His sight wandered repeatedly to Wen Jianing.

      The game came to a close. Yang Wenchong was so tense that tiny beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and several young people who watched the game forgot why they were watching the play and began to applaud Wen Jianing for his superb skills.

       Two sets of games, with a near crushing victory, and there was no need to compete in the third game.

       After putting the cue back, Wen Jianing moved his shoulders and neck.

       Yang Wenchong had always been obsessed with snooker. To be honest, because Wen Jianing won the game completely, his desire to sleep with the other party got bigger.

       Unfortunately, since he lost the game, he could not mess around here in his identity. He buried his head on the edge of the billiard table, wrote a check for 200,000 and handed it to Wen Jianing.

       Wen Jianing calmly took it over, “thank you.”

       Yang Wenchong’s regret was written on his face. When handing the check, he took the opportunity to grab Wen Jianing’s hand and said, “Do I have another chance next time?”

       Wen Jianing said, “Even if you are still going to lose?”

       Lu Jinlang came over, helped Wen Jianing put the coat on his shoulders, and said, “Okay, we should go.”

       “Has the rain stopped?” Wen Jianing asked.

       Lu Jinlang replied, “Well, Yunan sent a message saying that he had gone up the mountain.”

       So Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing left. On the way to the gate of the clubhouse, Lu Jinlang asked him, “Have you ever thought about what would happen if you lose?”

       Wen Jianing won a game and was slightly excited. His cheeks were red and bright, and he said, “I won’t lose.” He once watched Yang Wenchong play and knew that Yang Wenchong had good skills, but he was far from him. You must know that Wen Jianing was a well-known snooker master in this circle.

       Lu Jinlang smiled and didn’t say anything.

       They came out of the clubhouse, and the air in the middle of the mountain was very fresh one the night after the rain. Wen Jianing couldn’t help but to look up and take a deep breath. He felt that his cheeks were burning because he was too immersed and lacked oxygen. The cool night breeze was blowing on his face, which was extraordinarily comfortable.

       Lu Yunan was already waiting for them in the parking lot, driving Lu Jinlang’s nanny car.

       After they got into the car, Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand to pull up the curtain between the driver’s seat and the rear compartment, turned and pressed Wen Jianing on the wide seat, and kissed him.

       Wen Jianing could feel Lu Jinlang’s enthusiasm. In fact, he himself was still immersed in the excitement just now. It was easy to mobilize his emotions, but he felt that he still had to struggle. He stretched out his hand to pull Lu Jinlang’s hair, forcing him to raise his head, gasped and asked, “What’s the matter?”

       Lu Jinlang asked him, “When did you learn snooker?”

       Wen Jianing replied: “I started learning after I quit school and started going to work.”

       “You’re great,” Lu Jinlang said.

       Wen Jianing was in a good mood when he heard Lu Jinlang praise him, and asked him, “How does it compare to you?”

       He hadn’t seen Lu Jinlang play yet, but he believed Lu Jinlang’s skills were still very good. Otherwise, Yang Wenchong wouldn’t pester him to play a game as soon as he sees him.

       Lu Jinlang said straightly, “Me and Yang Wenchong are probably on the same level.”

       Wen Jianing suddenly laughed happily.

       Lu Jinlang asked, “What are you laughing at?”

       Wen Jianing replied, “I don’t know. Anyway, I’m very happy to beat you.”

       “Am I your goal?” Lu Jinlang looked into his eyes.

       Wen Jianing admitted frankly, “Yes, one day I will stand higher than you so that you can only chase behind me.”

       Lu Jinlang leaned close to his ear and whispered, “I’m waiting for that day.”

       After saying this, Lu Jinlang kissed his lips again and his red cheeks. The temperature on Wen Jianing’s face was even higher than the temperature of Lu Jinlang’s lips.

       His somewhat lustful way of sucking and kissing caused Wen Jianing to breathe quicker. Wen Jianing sighed comfortably when Lu Jinlang’s cool tongue touched his hot skin.

       However, when Lu Jinlang’s hand touched under him, Wen Jianing grabbed his hand in reflex.

       Lu Jinlang raised his head and asked him, “I still can’t go all the way?”

       Wen Jianing shook his head.

       Lu Jinlang continued, “Do I have to meet your conditions to do it? Okay, I understand.” He sat up and pulled Wen Jianing up, and even gently stretched out his hand to help him pull his pants well.

       Wen Jianing was still short of breath. He looked at Lu Jinlang and didn’t say anything.

       That night, Lu Jinlang asked Lu Yunan to drive Wen Jianing home. Before Wen Jianing got out of the car, Lu Jinlang said to him, “We may not be able to meet each other in these two days. Wait until your filming starts.”

       Wen Jianing stood outside the car door and nodded to him, “Be careful on the way back.”

       Lu Jinlang said softly, “Good night.” Then he reached out and closed the door.

       Wen Jianing watched the car disappear from his sight before turning and walking inside.

       Fang Wei didn’t seem very satisfied with him, and Wen Jianing could feel it, but he couldn’t understand why. According to his understanding of Fang Wei, he felt that Fang Wei should’ve liked his performance today.

　　On the way back to the company, He Chaoshu didn’t say much. He answered a call from Yi Nan halfway to the company. He left Wen Jianing on the side of the road and asked Wen Jianing to take a taxi back because he was going to pick up Yi Nan.

　　Two days later, Wen Jianing did not receive any news from Fang Wei. At this time, there had been reports that the crew of ‘October Fireworks’ was about to go to a small town on the mainland for shooting.

　　It could be said that Wen Jianing felt a little disappointed in his heart.

　　That afternoon, Wen Jianing received a call from Lu Jinlang. Lu Jinlang asked him, “So if I don’t look for you, you won’t look for me?”

       Wen Jianing replied, “I’m afraid you would think I’m pestering you and I’m too annoying.”

　　Lu Jinlang pondered for a moment, and said, “It makes sense. Men are cheaper. The more you ignore me, the more I want to see you. Are you available tonight?”

　　Wen Jianing said to the cheap Film Emperor Lu, “I will check my schedule. If there are no other arrangements, I can consider Mr. Lu’s invitation.”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled and said, “Then check it quickly. I’ll ask Yunan to pick you up later.”

　　At around five o’clock in the afternoon, Lu Yunan drove to pick up Wen Jianing and sent him to a private club on the hillside in the suburbs. The club’s name was Lanlu. Because of its elegant environment and expensive price, many celebrities and wealthy businessmen went there to spend their money. Wen Jianing was once a member here.

       Lu Yunan had sent him into the private room straight away, but at this time Lu Jinlang hadn’t arrived yet.

       Lu Yunan asked him to wait for a while since Mr. Lu would arrive soon and then leave first.

       This was a private room with Japanese house style and the room was spacious. The room was surrounded by a clear canal, and there was even a small water wheel around it. The room floor had a square flooring in the middle with a wooden floor, a square low table on it and two cushions next to it.

       There was a small wooden arch bridge across the canal at the entrance, and there was also a small wooden bridge directly opposite the window, which led directly to the window.

       Wen Jianing walked over and opened the window. The fresh and cool air on the hillside suddenly came to his face. The running water in the house led to the outside of the house. A small pond was built under the window, and in this late afternoon, a fog condensed on the pond.

       Such a comfortable environment was also the reason why this place was popular.

       The waiter came in, poured a cup of tea, and exited the room.

       Wen Jianing waited for nearly ten minutes before Lu Jinlang opened the sliding door outside, took off his shoes and walked in.

       “I’ve been waiting for a long time,” Wen Jianing said, as Lu Jinlang took off his coat. The attendant reached out to help Lu Jinlang pick up his coat and hung it on the hanger in the corner of the room.

       Lu Jinlang said, “There was a traffic jam, so I was late.”

       Then he sat down on the cushion at the table and said to the waiter, “You can start serving the food.”

       Wen Jianing also sat down opposite him.

       Lu Jinlang said, “There is a chef here who is good at Cantonese cuisine. You can try it.” Lu Jinlang liked to cook himself, so he was particularly picky about food.

       Wen Jianing had been here in the past, but he didn’t know which chef has any specialties.

       Lu Jinlang took a sip of tea and said to him, “How’s the movie audition?”

       Wen Jianing didn’t answer directly and looked up at him.

       Lu Jinlang smiled, “Don’t try to get fat in one bite*. This current opportunity is very good for you, you should seize it.”

       Wen Jianing said, “Fang Wei doesn’t seem to like me.”

       Lu Jinlang still smiled slightly, there was no look of surprise on his face. Obviously, he already knew about it. He said to Wen Jianing, “Do you know why Fang Wei doesn’t like you?”

       Wen Jianing was actually a little puzzled. He looked at Lu Jinlang and waited for his answer.

       Lu Jinlang was about to speak, but the waiter knocked on the door and came in to serve the food.

       He only ordered a few dishes, but each one seemed to be exquisite. It was arranged on a porcelain plate and carefully placed on the low table. After the dishes were served, the wine was poured for the two people, and the waiter stepped out gently.

       Before she left, Lu Jinlang said, “I will do it myself, you don’t have to come in.”

       The waiter responded and helped them close the room door.

       Wen Jianing was still waiting for the answer to what Lu Jinlanghad just said, but he saw that Lu Jinlang was already holding his chopsticks. He couldn’t help picking up his chopsticks and reaching out to hold Lu Jinlang’s chopsticks, and said, “You haven’t said why yet.”

       Lu Jinlang looked at him with a faint smile, “Do you want to know why there’s no sign?”

       Wen Jianing knew that the other party liked to tease him like this. So even if he was impatient, he would not show it. He simply grabbed the cushion under his ass and moved to Lu Jinlang’s side, and then raised his leg and sat face to face with Lu Jinlang.

       “Can’t you tell me?” Wen Jianing asked him.

       Lu Jinlang leaned back slightly, resting one hand on the wooden floor, and the other hand touching Wen Jianing’s waist.

       Wen Jianing grabbed his hand and said, “I don’t approve of doing these things before dinner. First, you still have to go wash your hands later, and second, people tend to lose their appetite.”

       Lu Jinlang smiled and didn’t continue. He said, “Fang Wei thinks you’re too beautiful. He’s afraid you’ll steal the show.”

       When he heard what Lu Jinlang said, Wen Jianing suddenly realized that if he were the director, he might not be willing to choose an actor with Ke Xinhang’s appearance to play this role, because he really didn’t look like a good student with an introverted character and low self-esteem.

       Lu Jinlang said, “But he finally agreed. It is estimated that you will receive the notice tomorrow.”

       Wen Jianing looked at him, “Because of your connection?”

       Lu Jinlang did not admit or deny, “Li Jiazhen persuaded him.”

       Wen Jianing was suddenly curious. Fang Wei was a little paranoid, he didn’t understand what reason Li Jiazhen could use to persuade him to change a decision he had already made.

       Lu Jinlang seemed to see his doubts. He raised his hand and slightly removed Wen Jianing’s bangs, revealing his white and smooth forehead. He said, “A person’s beauty is not only from looking at their face. The eyes, temperament and even speech are more important than a face. There are too many beautiful people in this circle, but there are only a few with amazing beauty.”

       Wen Jianing soon understood what Lu Jinlang meant. Of course, it was not like he didn’t understand this reason. He just didn’t understand why this reason was enough to move Fang Wei, “Who dares to assure him that I have the acting skills to support such a role?”

       Lu Jinlang said, “Didn’t he watch your audition personally? Of course, you impressed him with your performance.”

       Wen Jianing looked at Lu Jinlang directly. He doesn’t know why, but Lu Jinlang’s words just moved him a bit.

       Although his posture was not appropriate, Wen Jianing found it very difficult to talk about acting with Lu Jinlang in a serious manner. In the past, even if he wanted to, Lu Jinlang would not say such words to him.

       Lu Jinlang reached out and touched his face and asked, “What? Are you going to fulfil your promise here?”

       Wen Jianing said, “No, I don’t plan to. I heard that ‘October Fireworks’ will be filmed on location first?”

       Lu Jinlang replied, “Well, I will join the team next week.”

       Wen Jianing had read the script of ‘October Fireworks’ and knew that Lu Jinlang played a very important role. This was a love literary film with a slightly dull plot. According to Fang Wei’s habit, it was estimated that there would be a large number of long shots, which would test the protagonist’s acting skills.

       Lu Jinlang suddenly used more strength on his hand, pressing Wen Jianing’s head close to him, then gently bit his ear, and said in a vague and low voice, “I’m waiting for you over there.”

       In that instant, Wen Jianing even felt his body tingling slightly.

       But Lu Jinlang let go of him and said, “Let’s eat.”

       Wen Jianing stepped down from him and moved back to his seat.

       In the middle of the meal, they didn’t know when it began to rain. At first, it was only light rain. Later, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the sky suddenly became dark.

       Lu Jinlang’s plan was to go down the mountain after dinner, but in this heavy rain, the mountain road was wet and slippery coupled with poor visibility. He was afraid that there might be an accident if he’s careless.

       So after seeing the change in weather, Lu Jinlang called Lu Yunan and told him not to rush up the mountain until the rain was lighter.

       After coming out of the restaurant, Lu Jinlang asked him if he wanted to go to the sauna.

       Wen Jianing looked at him coldly.

       Lu Jinlang immediately said, “I didn’t mean it that way, I just didn’t think about it that much.”

       Just outside of the restaurant, they met two people that came out of the private room next door. The first one was a man dressed very politely, and the one behind was a sexy young woman.

       As soon as the man saw Lu Jinlang, he smiled and greeted loudly, “Oh, if it isn’t the Film Emperor Lu, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.”

       Wen Jianing turned his head and saw the man who was approaching. He even knew him. His name was Yang Wenchong. He comes from a powerful family and was a famous prince. In his early thirties, his biggest hobby was sleeping with female stars.

       In the past, Wen Jianing also had dinner with Yang Wenchong. Although the other party was polite to him, it could be seen that he was an arrogant person. In his eyes, these so-called stars were probably just a group of entertainers.

       Yang Wenchong’s attitude towards Lu Jinlang was completely different from that of Wen Jianing at the time. Without the restrained attitude, and was obviously more intimate.

       Wen Jianing can’t help but think of some rumours about Lu Jinlang’s family background.

       Lu Jinlang’s attitude towards Yang Wenchong was no different from that towards others. He just nodded and said, “Young Master Yang, long time no see.”

       Yang Wenchong walked to him, raised his arm on his shoulder, looked at Wen Jianing, and asked, “Were you having dinner?”

       Lu Jinlang replied, “We’ve just finished.”

       Yang Wenchong said, “It’s raining outside. What’s your plan?”

       Lu Jinlang glanced at Wen Jianing and replied, “Going for a walk.”

       “Why are you going?” Yang Wenchong said, “Don’t go, it’s rare to meet you today. How about a game with your brother?”

       Lu Jinlang did not immediately answer, but explained to Wen Jianing, “Snooker, are you interested?”

       Yang Wenchong also looked at Wen Jianing, looking excited.

       Wen Jianing nodded at his words, “Let’s go.”

       Wen Jianing’s singing was full of emotion. His singing and emotions were exactly the same as his past performance in the movies. The difference was only in his voice.

       The live camera cut to a female audience in the stands. She was already in tears halfway through listening. They were not sure if she was actually a fan of Wen Jianing.

       Xu Rujing whispered in Lu Jinlang’s ear, “If this boy finds a way to develop well, he will have a bright future.”

       Lu Jinlang didn’t say anything. He held a signing pen in his hand and gently pressed it against his lips.

       When Wen Jianing finished singing, the response in the studio was very enthusiastic, but even so, he still failed to win the game. Of course, he felt it didn’t matter.

       When it was finally announced that Yi Nan was the champion, he couldn’t feel so excited. He even faked his excitement because he at least couldn’t make himself look depressed in front of the camera.

       Wen Jianing was the first runner up and Wen Lin was the second runner up. Both of them were not surprised by the result and waved to the audience with a smile.

       The atmosphere now was very warm, with cold fireworks* and balloon ribbons, but the three winner’s mood was too calm, they were relying on the excited roar of the host.

       The game lasted for nearly two months. Since Wen Jianing accidentally heard the inside story of who was the champion by default, he continued with the mentality of showing all the things he wanted to show. Now surprisingly, he was a runner up, which was beyond his expectation. He felt very satisfied.

       After the competition, the dressing room in the backstage area was very lively. All the eliminated players came back. Those who had a good relationship gathered in one place to talk, and others were congratulating Yi Nan.

       The producer of the show walked in, clapped his hands and said, “Everyone has worked so hard for so long. Let’s have dinner together tonight to celebrate.”

       Everyone responded enthusiastically.

       Wen Jianing found that Lu Jinlang had called him. After the call got through, he couldn’t hear what Lu Jinlang was saying because the surrounding environment was too noisy. He shouted to Lu Jinlang, “I’m off to dinner! Talk to you later!” and then hung up the phone.

       That night was very lively, and everyone temporarily let go of any past grievances, and even Yi Nan came over with a wine glass to have a drink with Wen Jianing.

       Later, when he returned to the small house rented by Ke Xinhang, Wen Jianing fell onto the bed and slept until dawn, without even having a dream.

       After he got up in the morning, he went to the bathroom to take a bath. After taking a bath, he stood in front of the mirror without clothes.

       He had never tried this before. He knew that the body was incomplete, but looking at it from that angle with his head down was nowhere near as strong as the visual impact of standing in front of a mirror and looking at a whole body.

       His body was tall and thin, with no obvious muscles, and without a trace of fat. A deformed body was absolutely ugly from the perspective of normal people, but his body should not be called ugly, because he almost had no hair, the skin was fair, and the shape was not that bad either.

       This was probably what Lu Jinlang saw from his perspective.

       In the mirror, Ke Xinhang’s face was very beautiful. His cheeks were ruddy because he had just taken a bath. The fog in the bathroom had not dispersed, and the oxygen was a little thin. He opened his lips slightly and was slightly breathless.

       Wen Jianing suddenly discovered that if he had seen such a beautiful young man in the past, he would probably found him very attractive. It was no wonder that Lu Jinlang had been attracted to him from the beginning.

       He put on his clothes. Wen Jianing tidied himself up and went out to take a taxi to the company.

       He was now a contracted artist of Lei Xing, and he wasn’t famous yet to have an agent attending to his needs. He needed to make himself look more diligent.

       Since he tactfully refused the request to post to Weibo to show his closeness with Yi Nan last time, He Chaoshu and the others didn’t push him to get along anymore.

       He Chaoshu’s emotions towards Wen Jianing were somewhat complicated. Wen Jianing himself had found that He Chaoshu was probably worried about his relationship with Lu Jinlang. However, the two of them never made their relationship clear, so He Chaoshu didn’t know what attitude he should show in front of Wen Jianing.

       But it was true that he was a lot more polite.

       When Wen Jianing went back today, he was going to ask again about the combination of Wen Lin and him mentioned by the company before. However, as soon as he arrived at the company, He Chaoshu hurriedly met him and said that he had an audition to prepare and to set out immediately.

       Wen Jianing was taken aback. He saw He Chaoshu was very anxious, so he didn’t ask any questions until he was sitting in the car, he asked, “Which movie?”

       He Chaoshu said, “October Fireworks.”

       Wen Jianing was a little surprised, and subconsciously asked, “The male lead?”

       He Chaoshu gave him a dumbfounded look and said, “How is that possible? It’s just a small character, no need to be too nervous.”

       In fact, when he asked, Wen Jianing knew that he had asked a silly thing. Lu Jinlang clearly said that they would start filming soon. How could he really give him the opportunity at this time.

       However, even if it was just a chance to play a small role, Wen Jianing felt very happy.

       He Chaoshu said, “Although it’s a little sudden, it’s not easy to have this opportunity. You have to know that the director of October Fireworks is Fang Wei, who is notoriously picky. You should perform well when the time comes.”

       Wen Jianing was no longer thinking about the audition. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and found Lu Jinlang’s number in the address book. He put his finger on the call button and hesitated, but he finally didn’t dial out. He held his phone and turned it in a circle a few times, and placed it back into his pocket.

       The audition was arranged at an entertainment company, which also served as the agency that did the cast for ‘October Fireworks’.

       After He Chaoshu took Wen Jianing into the audition room, he met Fang Wei’s old partner Li Jiazhen. Li Jiazhen had always been Fang Wei’s assistant, serving as the assistant director in many of Fang Wei’s movies, and was very familiar with Fang Wei’s style and character.

       In addition to Li Jiazhen, there were also several crew members that Wen Jianing was not very familiar with.

       He Chaoshu obviously knew Li Jiazhen. He approached Li Jiazhen with a smile on his face and introduced Wen Jianing to the other party.

       Li Jiazhen looked at Wen Jianing. As soon as he wanted to speak, Director Fang opened the door and came in. He sat down in a nearby chair and said plainly, “Let’s get started.”

       He Chaoshu didn’t dare to speak at once.

       Wen Jianing didn’t expect Fang Wei to appear in person, but he knew that Fang Wei had an almost morbid obsession with his film works. It was not very strange for him to appear here.

       Li Jiazhen asked Wen Jianing to give the script to Wen Jianing and was about to point him out for the role he was auditioning for, but Fang Wei suddenly said, “No need for a script, you try to play an introverted and silent high school student confessing his love to a girl he likes.”

       There was no script, no lines, and no one to act with him.

       He Chaoshu felt that Fang Wei probably didn’t like Wen Jianing. He couldn’t help being nervous and secretly turned his head to see Fang Wei’s face.

       Unfortunately for them, Wen Jianing had read the script of ‘October Fireworks’. Fang Wei said it so casually that he immediately knew which role he was auditioning for. It was the boy who was in the same class as the heroine who was immersed in studying. Because he had a crush on the heroine, he mustered up the courage to confess to her but was rejected by the heroine on the grounds that she wanted to study hard for the college entrance examination.

       It was indeed a small role, but it was not an insignificant role.

       In the script, this confession was made after the evening self-study. The boy asked the heroine to wait for him to go home together. He said it nervously as they walked. At this time, Wen Jianing did not intend to be affected by the script, nor did he want Fang Wei to know that he had read the script, and he wanted to express it in another way.

       So Wen Jianing stood in place, straightened his body, raised one hand, clenched his fist next to his shoulder, and his fingers kept moving, looking restless.

       Fang Wei originally leaned on the back of the chair, tilted one leg up and watched him expressionlessly. At this time, he sat up slightly and took a closer look, because he could see that this action was an act of a student unconsciously grasping the strap of a school bag.

       Wen Jianing began to constantly look sideways, then shrunk back and stood in place with his head leaning back.

       Everyone could see that he was leaning against a wall. From time to time, he looked from the corner of the wall, as if he was waiting for someone. He then saw someone from far, opened his mouth and wanted to shout. Before he shouted, he stopped and retracted his head because it was not the person he had been waiting for.

       He appeared introverted and timid.

       Then the person he had been waiting for finally appeared. He still suppressed his voice and shouted, “Xiao Ting!” He made up the heroine’s name casually. He called her name twice before the other party seemed to hear her.

       He leaned over, and after hearing the other person’s question, he said, “I have something to tell you.”

       The non-existent heroine expressed her hesitation.

       His gaze swept across the other party’s face from time to time, but he didn’t dare to stare for a long time. He lowered his head and asked in a very soft voice, “Which school entrance examination are you going to take?”

       ………

       “Oh” he said, “I want to try too. Shall we take the same school?”

       ………

       He tried to take a deep breath, and then his face turned red, and the look of helplessness made the people around him feel embarrassed for him. He said, “I like you. When we graduate from high school, shall we be together?”

       At this time, he would have been rejected by the heroine, but Fang Wei didn’t tell him how to develop after confession, so he imagined a scene in which he was vaguely accepted by the other party.

       He suddenly raised his head, his eyes gleamed, and he was still a little at a loss, but his joy prevailed. He said, “I will also be admitted to the school, as long as you like it, I can do anything!”

       Fang Wei interrupted him, “The other party rejected you. Continue from there just now.”

       Wen Jianing immediately changed his joyful expression. He stared at the non-existent person in front of him with wide eyes, not surprised but embarrassed. In just a short moment, he withdrew his gaze and began to say incoherently, “Oh, I also think so, I get it. I’m sorry I was in a bit of a hurry. I will wait until after the entrance exams are over, okay okay.”

       The other party seems to have said something.

       He raised his hand to look at his watch, “I have to go back. My mother will rush me, you should go back early too.”

       With that, he turned and ran and stopped in the corner of the room.

       Li Jiazhen sat up straight and said nothing. Because Fang Wei didn’t say anything, he looked at Fang Wei and asked, “Director Fang?”

       Fang Wei lowered his head and glanced at the script, then at Wen Jianing, and finally said, “Wait for the result.”

       He Chaoshu then stood up quickly, thanked Fang Wei and Li Jiazhen, and called Wen Jianing to leave.

       After they ate, Lu Jinlang let Wen Jianing go to bed early. The room prepared for him was still the same room, and it was even more comfortable. Lu Jinlang came in and helped him change a thicker quilt, saying that it was a bit colder today.

       Then Lu Jinlang opened the door and was about to leave. Before leaving, he asked Wen Jianing, “Don’t you have anything to say?”

       Wen Jianing was already sitting by the bed. When he heard those words, he got up and ran to Lu Jinlang in two steps. He held Lu Jinlang’s face and kissed him hard. After the kiss, he said, “Good night.”

       Lu Jinlang smiled and said goodnight, and then helped him close the door.

       Wen Jianing originally wanted to lock the door in reflex, but suddenly thought that he had nothing to guard against, so he withdrew his hand. He felt relieved that Lu Jinlang found out about it.

       Lu Jinlang wanted to wait until he compromised. He knew very well in his heart that at this point, Lu Jinlang had begun to suspect that Wen Jianing would compromise sooner or later. However, he would never force himself to make a decision.

       The next day, Wen Jianing went to the TV station for rehearsal. Wen Jianing asked the director to change a song in the final.

       The director was upset on the spot after hearing it, and said that it was already this time, and suddenly changing the song? How many days were left to prepare and if he had considered the effect on the site?

       Wen Jianing apologized very sincerely, but he insisted on changing the song. He decided to sing a movie theme song that he once sang, called ‘Glistening’. No one knew why, only he himself understands. He was lying in bed last night and he couldn’t fall asleep for a long time. Wen Jianing’s sudden death was nothing but a pity for others, but it was a lifetime regret and pain for him. Last night’s film awakened many of his memories, and he suddenly wanted to do something to pay homage to himself.

       The song ‘Glistening’ was personally sung by Wen Jianing himself at the request of the director at that time. It was not only the theme song of the film, but also the background music in the movie. Although Wen Jianing’s singing skills were not very good, he created a very moving atmosphere in that scene with his own dubbing lines.

       It was unfortunate that today’s Wen Jianing wanted to sing this song again, but few people agree. The reason was that Ke Xinhang’s voice type was very different from Wen Jianing. If he wanted to achieve good results, it would not just be changing the tune. He might need to rearrange the whole music. This was either impossible or it would require a lot of effort.

       Wen Jianing told the director that he could find someone to make the rearrangement by himself, without the TV station’s music team.

       The director group said they would discuss and give him an answer later.

       When he went back to the waiting room, Yi Nan and Wen Lin were both there.

       Wen Lin naturally knew about the dispute between Wen Jianing and Yi Nan yesterday. He waved to Wen Jianing and motioned Wen Jianing to sit next to him.

       Wen Jianing sat down and asked him how his preparations were going.

       “It’s okay,” Wen Lin always has confidence in his music and if you talk about music with him, he will tell you: I think it’s very good.

       Yi Nan was originally wearing headphones and sitting nearby listening to music. At this time, he suddenly pulled his headphones, stood up, walked to Wen Jianing and said, “Can you come out for a while? I have something to tell you.”

       Wen Lin quickly stood up and stood between the two. The makeup artist and dresser in the dressing room also came over nervously.

       Wen Jianing stood up and patted Wen Lin on the shoulder to signal that it was okay, and then said to Yi Nan, “Find a quiet place.”

       Today’s Wen Jianing had lost yesterday’s irritability. He had calmed down. Perhaps it was because yesterday’s movie reminded him of his goal. He told himself that even if the people around him could not help his career, he shouldn’t easily provoke them and made them into his own enemies.

       The two people found an empty and quiet lounge.

       Yi Nan had also calmed down. He asked Wen Jianing, “Who did you hear about what you said yesterday, can you tell me?”

       Wen Jianing said, “Why is it so important who said it? The one who was helping behind your back, don’t your heart already know it?”

       Yi Nan looked down, feeling a little depressed, “I went back and asked, and they all said they didn’t know. I’m going to ask that person.”

       “It’s meaningless for you to ask that person. People who won’t admit it will still not admit it.”

       Yi Nan held his arms in front of his chest with a complex expression. He seemed angry and unwilling. He snorted, “In fact, it’s actually a completely unnecessary thing isn’t it? They don’t need the extra trouble, who do you think can beat me in this competition?”

       Wen Jianing didn’t want to pay attention to him, but seeing his arrogant attitude, he couldn’t help saying,  “What do you think? Since you think you deserve it, why bother with it?”

       “If you hadn’t relied on Lu Jinlang, could you have make it this far?” Yi Nan was a little frustrated as if Wen Jianing was the most unqualified person to accuse him.

       Wen Jianing felt it was a little funny. He said, “Yes, so we are half a cat.* I don’t look down on you. Why do you have the nerves to look down on me? Your ability to rise back again is also a part of your strength. I respect your strength.”

       After he said that, Wen Jianing stood up and walked outside. Yi Nan was a little annoyed, he stood up and wanted to pull Wen Jianing, but he stopped. After Wen Jianing went out, Yi Nan couldn’t chase him out. He was angry for a while, because he didn’t know what to say to refute him.

       After some discussion, they finally agreed to Wen Jianing’s request.

       So in the next few days, Wen Jianing spent almost every day with the TV station’s music team to discuss things about the song adaptations.

       Since the repertoire had been changed to ‘Glistening’, the program team followed suit and gave Wen Jianing some suggestions. They added a performance during his singing to commemorate the early death of the film emperor.

       Of course, Wen Jianing had no objection, so he arranged two accompanying dancers during his singing. The content of the dance was adapted from the film in which Wen Jianing starred at that time.

       He was so busy for a few days, and Wen Jianing did not have time to meet with Lu Jinlang. Lu Jinlang called him, but he directly refused, saying that he was not available. When he hung up the phone, Wen Jianing chuckled at the slowly dimming phone screen.

       The band guitarist next to him asked, “What are you so happy about?”

       Wen Jianing shook his head and put his mobile phone back into his pocket with a smile.

       The day he saw Lu Jinlang again, it was already the final live broadcast of the “Voice of the Soul” program.

       Two hours before the competition start, Wen Jianing finished the last rehearsal. He just returned to the backstage and saw Lu Yunan at the entrance of the dressing room.

       Lu Yunan said to him, “Mr. Ke, Mr. Lu invites you to his waiting room.”

       Since Lu Yunan came to invite him personally, Wen Jianing had no intention of embarrassing him. He nodded and agreed.

       When Wen Jianing arrived at Lu Jinlang’s waiting room, the makeup artist was applying makeup to Lu Jinlang. He sat on the sofa and didn’t move. but just turned his eyes to look at him and said, “You are busy, huh?”

       It was not complicated to put on makeup for Lu Jinlang. When Wen Jianing came in, the makeup artist was already finishing up. At this time, hearing that they had something to say, the makeup artists packed their things and went out first.

       With only the two of them left, Wen Jianing said, “I’m quite busy.”

       Lu Jinlang leaned on the sofa and said, “You’ve got my mind down pretty well. I can’t help but miss you after a few days of not seeing you,”

       Wen Jianing heard the words and said, “Mr. Lu is not also very good at talking about love, I almost thought you were in love with me.”

       Lu Jinlang smiled and asked him, “How’s the preparation going? Are you confident of winning the championship?”

       Wen Jianing bluntly said, “I have no confidence, the champion is not mine.”

       Lu Jinlang said, “There is still an hour and a half before the start of the competition, it is not yet clear whose the champion is, you can think about it again.”

       Wen Jianing replied, “I’ve considered it very clearly. I don’t need it.”

       Lu Jinlang seemed to feel a little regretful.

       Wen Jianing walked to Lu Jinlang and stood still, and said, “I heard that the ‘October Fireworks’ filming is going to start?”

       Lu Jinlang looked up at him, “Are you concerned about this?”

       “How is it?” Wen Jianing asked him, “Would you like to consider surrendering the male lead role to me?”

       Lu Jinlang smiled, and said to him, “It’s officially started next week, after it just over here.”

       Wen Jianing nodded and said, “That’s really a pity.”

       Lu Jinlang suddenly reached out and took his hand. His thumb gently rubbed his tiger’s mouth** and said, “Nothing to be sorry about, except for the ‘October Fireworks’, you will have many opportunities in the future.”

       Wen Jianing didn’t say anything.

       Lu Jinlang took his hand and shook it, “It may not be possible for you now to shoot except for the third grade movie and underwear commercial.”

       Wen Jianing made an angry expression and walked out without looking back.

       Lu Jinlang looked at his back and smiled.

       Wen Jianing was actually not angry for the joke he made. He only thought that the Film Emperor Lu was idle and bored so he teased him. After he left the waiting room’s door, he couldn’t help cursing him for being bored.

       There were only three contestants left in the final, and the program group had to fill in many other arrangements, such as inviting all the top 20 contestant back to the scene, an ensemble, and an interview with them cheering for the three contestants.

       Wen Jianing and the three of them opened the competition with a duet. After the duet was over, the host came out to announce the official start of the finals.

       In this game, it was not like Lu Jinlang alone could decide Wen Jianing’s ranking. But this might not be the case, perhaps Lu Jinlang has a way, but it must be done secretly. He couldn’t have the final say just by nodding his head.

       Wen Jianing didn’t want to win the championship, but him singing ‘Glistening’ still set off a small climax for the whole game. The lyrics of ‘Glistening’ were as follows: Creating myths under the glittering starlight. I am the Emperor and a superstar.It was as if it was describing the departed Wen Jianing.

       When he went on stage, he wore a white suit very similar to what he had in the movie at the time, and stood with his head down under a dim stage light. At that moment, the audience seemed to have the illusion of real Wen Jianing standing there.

*Yes, so we are half a cat. means they have the same problem, so Yi Nan shouldn’t criticize him.
**Lu Jinlang is referring Wen Jianing as tiger because of his bold attitude asking for the male lead role from him.  Shoutout to xiaoming for letting me know that tiger’s mouth refers to the part between the thumb and forefinger~~

Update 01-05-2022
So I debated to change Lei Xing to Li Xing coz it’s more correct that way but I like the previous translation usage of Lei Xing so I keep it that way. But I decided to change the song ‘Shining’ to ‘Glistening’ because it was the correct one and it doesn’t sound that bad either

       When Wen Jianing was standing outside the Lei Xing building waiting for Lu Jinlang, he noticed that someone across the street was secretly taking pictures of him. Since he became Ke Xinhang, he had spent some time adapting to the life of not being noticed or chased by others, but now he had to adapt himself again to the life of standing on the street and being photographed.

       He called Lu Jinlang and walked toward the building, and asked Lu Jinlang to drive the car directly to the underground parking lot to avoid being photographed by interested people.

       When he got in Lu Jinlang’s car, Wen Jianing heard Lu Jinlang ask him, “What do you want to eat?”

       Wen Jianing said, “I don’t want to eat anything. I want to go home.”

       Lu Jinlang burst into laughter when he heard the words, and stepped on the brake. “Do you think of me as a taxi driver?” Since last night’s incident, Lu Jinlang felt as if Wen Jianing had simply torn off his mask in front of him. He didn’t even bother to pretend to show his basic politeness.

       Wen Jianing looked at Lu Jinlang and asked, “How much is the fare?”

       Lu Jinlang smiled and said, “I’m afraid you can’t afford it.”

       Having said that, Wen Jianing did not ask to go home again after all.

       Lu Jinlang asked him as he drove, “Are you in a bad mood?”

       Wen Jianing propped his head with one hand and said nothing.

       Lu Jinlang said, “I heard that you quarrelled with Yi Nan?”

       Wen Jianing casually said, “I didn’t know Mr. Lu cares so much about me?”

       Lu Jinlang said with a gentle smile, “I try to restrain myself from asking news about you.”

       Wen Jianing couldn’t help looking at him and found it difficult to tell whether Lu Jinlang was telling a lie or not. The other party’s acting skills were so perfect that he could say every word as if it’s the most beautiful love words.

       But then, Wen Jianing remembered one thing. He asked, “Who knows about what happened last night?”

       Lu Jinlang seemed surprised. “Who do you think I will let know? Of course, I’m the only one who knows.”

       “It’s not that,” Wen Jianing found that his words were ambiguous, so he corrected, “I was asking something about you taking me away last night.”

       Lu Jinlang said, “Your agent, I think his last name is He?”

       “He Chaoshu,” Wen Jianing said, frowning slightly. Since only He Chaoshu knows about it, then he must be the one to say it on Yi Nan.

       Lu Jinlang drove the car all the way, and instead of stopping to find a place to eat, he drove directly back home.

       Wen Jianing knows that he is a little grumpy today, but now his mood is gradually recovering, and he is also seriously considering how to deal with his relationship with Lu Jinlang in the future. Compared with the panic last night and the anger when he woke up in the morning, he no longer gets angry with Lu Jinlang about this matter.

       After parking the car, Lu Jinlang said to him, “Go inside first, and then consider to eat something when you are hungry.”

       In the living room on the first floor of Lu Jinlang’s house, Wen Jianing found a stack of DVD discs stored under the TV cabinet. He flipped through them. They were all films starring Lu Jinlang, and the second one was made by the two of them. ‘Duel’.

       Lu Jinlang went to the kitchen to pour him a glass of warm water. He came back and handed him the glass. He sat down on the floor beside him, and asked, “Are you interested?”

       Wen Jianing held the glass in one hand and drew the disc out with the other. “Duel,” he said.

       Lu Jinlang said, “Yeah, I co-produced it with your idol. Haven’t you seen it?”

       Wen Jianing didn’t answer the question directly, but said to him, “Let’s have a look.”

       Lu Jinlang readily agreed, “Okay.”

       Lu Jinlang put the disc in the DVD player, turned off the overhead light in the living room, sat on the sofa with Wen Jianing and watched the only movie they co-starred in. It was just a pity that Lu Jinlang didn’t know that the person beside him was Wen Jianing.

       However, Wen Jianing had some unspeakable excitement for no reason.

       The movie ‘Duel’ was about a confrontation between a young policeman who had just entered the police station and a terrible criminal. Wen Jianing played the policeman in the play, and the criminal was played by Lu Jinlang.

       At the beginning of this drama, Wen Jianing’s agent advised him not to take it, because the one who played the bad guy was always more likely to shine than the one who played the good guy, especially since the other party was Lu Jinlang. However, precisely because the other party was Lu Jinlang, Wen Jianing resolutely took over the role regardless of the opposition. Whether it was a policeman or a criminal, he was confident that he can play this role well.

       He still remembered that after filming this drama, Wen Jianing did not dare to look back at this drama for a long time, especially when he learned that both of them were nominated for the Academy Award. He had no reason to be unconfident about competing with Lu Jinlang.

       But now, he was in a completely different state of mind. He was willing to sit down and watched this movie with Lu Jinlang. He knew that he was better than Lu Jinlang here, and he hoped to hear comments about him from Lu Jinlang.

       The large LCD TV and sound system of Lu Jinlang’s home were very good as if they were in a private theatre.

       When he saw his own name appear on the LCD screen, Wen Jianing felt a bit sentimental. It was too painful to stop at the peak of his life and lose all his ambition.

       The film began with a bizarre shopping mall theft. Xie An, a fledgling policeman, followed the senior policeman to see the scene. The close-up shot was focused on Wen Jianing’s face. He slowly turned his head, carefully and cautiously checking every detail of the scene.

       But they didn’t find any clues. They finished work and went out to eat noodles at a roadside stall. They met the suspect Yu Fenglin played by Lu Jinlang. He looked very ordinary wearing glasses and an old-style jacket.

       That night, Xie An received a text message from the senior policeman saying a clue was discovered and the details will be discussed tomorrow. In the end, Xie An heard the news that the senior policeman was killed when he went to work the next day. Through investigation, Xie Yu found that there was a person who had been in contact with the old policeman before his death. He wanted to find that person, but that person was missing. After that, there were a series of cases. As soon as the clues were found, someone would be one step ahead of him to destroy the clues.

       After a repeated confrontation between Xie An and Yu Fenglin, Xie An set up a trap and made all the clues pointed at himself, luring Yu Fenglin to kill him. But Xie An did not expect Yu Fenglin to find his pregnant girlfriend. The story ended with Xie An shooting Yu Fenglin and killing him. However, Yu Fenglin also killed Xie An’s girlfriend and his unborn child.

       A duel that caused loss for both sides.

       In fact, this was a suspense thriller movie. There were many exquisite outlines in the middle, in addition to the acting skills of Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang, the movie was very interesting to watch.

       However, when Wen Jianing re-watched the movie, the focus was naturally on the performance of him and Lu Jinlang. The most impressive scene in the whole play was the scene in which Yu Fenglin killed Xie An’s girlfriend at the end. Lu Jinlang looked very cold at that time, but his expression also showed some morbid pleasure. Wen Jianing’s assistant who was watching them on the site told him that his goosebumps were all up, and he was really frightened by Lu Jinlang.

       At this moment, he turned his head and asked Lu Jinlang, “Which is the most impressive scene of the whole movie for you?”

       Lu Jinlang rubbed his lips with his right thumb and said, “The part where Xie An looked at the scene where his woman was killed.”

       This scene was actually very classic. At the Academy Awards ceremony, on the big screen when Wen Jianing was announced as the award winner also repeatedly played this scene. In the end, he still used his own strength to bring the character alive, perfectly performing this originally infamous role.

       When he heard Lu Jinlang’s words, Wen Jianing couldn’t help but ask, “Do you also acknowledge Wen Jianing’s performance?”

       Lu Jinlang said, “Wen Jianing is a very good actor, but it’s a pity.”

       This sentence sounds very much like an official phrase for external use, but Wen Jianing felt that Lu Jinlang should be sincere in what he said at this time.

       Lu Jinlang suddenly reached out and placed his hand on the back of Wen Jianing’s neck as he said, “Is my acknowledgement of Wen Jianing important to you?”

       Instead of answering him, Wen Jianing changed the subject and said, “I’m hungry.”

       Lu Jinlang then got up from the sofa and said, “Let’s eat, go see what you want to eat.”

       Wen Jianing followed Lu Jinlang and opened the refrigerator in his house. When he saw that it was full of food, he couldn’t help saying, “There is so much food, can you eat it all by yourself?”

       Lu Jinlang said, “Aren’t you going to accompany me to eat? See what you want to eat. But it’s so late, you’d better eat a light meal.”

       Finally, Lu Jinlang took bread, ham and lettuce to make sandwiches.

       Wen Jianing stood by the kitchen door watching him while he was preparing food.

       While cutting the ham, Lu Jinlang said, “I was actually quite worried about you this morning, but you recovered faster than I thought.”

       Wen Jianing leaned his head against the door frame and said, “Or else? Should I be desperate? Or kill you and shut you up forever?”

       Lu Jinlang smiled upon hearing this.

       Wen Jianing said, “It’s no big deal, you saw it too, it’s just that way.”

       “Actually, I think it’s fine,” Lu Jinlang said.

       Wen Jianing gave a soft “Um”.

       “I’m serious,” Lu Jinlang said. “You see, you’re still standing here healthily. You can perform on the stage and have many fans who like you. You still can enjoy happiness like all men.”

       Finally, Wen Jianing reacted a little after understanding what he meant. Although he was more or less angry when he thought about what happened last night, Lu Jinlang was right. Wen Jianing found that he could still react, which made him less desperate.

       If he didn’t have such high expectations for himself, he could live a happier life.

       Lu Jinlang walked out of the door with a plate. When passing by Wen Jianing, he pinched a piece of ham with his fingers and brought it to his mouth, saying, “Open your mouth.”

       Wen Jianing opened his mouth obediently, but instead of delivering the ham, Lu Jinlang kissed his lips.

       His body was pressed against the door. After the fierce kiss ended, Lu Jinlang put the ham into his mouth and said, “Keep it.”

       Wen Jianing bit off a small piece and reached out to take the remaining half away from his mouth.

       Lu Jinlang smiled and stroked his face with his fingers, and said, “Good boy.”

       After the bath, Wen Jianing slowly regained his composure.

       He put on the pyjamas that he took off when he came in, walked out of the bathroom, and heard movement from the kitchen downstairs.

       Wen Jianing walked to the kitchen door and saw Lu Jinlang frying eggs.

       Lu Jinlang wore a white cotton shirt and beige trousers. He looked very casual and comfortable. He even put one hand in his trouser pocket when he fried eggs, while he held a spatula in his right hand. His movements were graceful and when someone looked at him, it would look like a photoshoot for a magazine.

       Perhaps he heard Wen Jianing’s footsteps, and said, “Breakfast is almost ready. Go wait for a bit in the dining room.”

       Wen Jianing originally thought the person in the kitchen was Lu Yunan, but he didn’t expect it to be Lu Jinlang. He stood there for a while and asked, “Where’re my clothes? Have you seen my phone?”

       Lu Jinlang said, “I will ask Yunan to wash your clothes later and your phone is by your bed. Didn’t you see it?”

       Wen Jianing really did not see it. He went back to find his cell phone. He Chaoshu was calling him just in time.

       The phone connected, He Chaoshu hesitated over there and asked him, “Are you okay?”

       Wen Jianing replied, “I’m all right. Thank you Shu ge.”

       He Chaoshu didn’t ask much and just said, “That’s good. You’d better continue to follow the TV station’s arrangement in the next two days and prepare for the finals.”

       Wen Jianing replied, “I understand.”

       After he hung up the phone, he went down to the first floor. Wen Jianing saw that Lu Jinlang had placed fried eggs, bread and freshly brewed coffee on the table.

       The two of them sat down face to face. Lu Jinlang helped him pour the coffee and asked him if he would like to add sugar and milk.

       Wen Jianing always had a very surreal feeling when he looked at Lu Jinlang. For example, Lu Jinlang personally cooked breakfast for him, which was something unimaginable with Ke Xinhang’s identity, and it was even more impossible to imagine as Wen Jianing.

       When Lu Jinlang saw Wen Jianing was in a daze, he said, “You drank a lot of alcohol last night. You’d better not drink black coffee. Be careful not to hurt your stomach.” With that, he helped Wen Jianing add milk and sugar.

       Wen Jianing picked up the spoon, stirred the coffee, and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lu, I was a little emotional just now.”

       Lu Jinlang said: “You don’t need to apologize. As I said, I’m the one at fault.”

       Wen Jianing didn’t say anything anymore. He took the bread Lu Jinlang handed over and slowly took a bite.

       Before breakfast was over, Lu Yunan drove over. He brought a new set of clothes for Wen Jianing and even bought a new pair of underwear.

       Wen Jianing took the clothes and went into the room to change. Looking at the black bullet underwear*, he immediately began to suspect that Lu Jinlang was deliberately humiliating him. But soon he also felt that Lu Jinlang would not tell Lu Yunan this kind of thing. Lu Yunan probably bought it by himself, so he couldn’t be angry about this kind of thing.

       It was just that the empty feeling in front of him after putting on his underwear made him very uncomfortable.

       When he came down from upstairs, Wen Jianing saw Lu Jinlang explaining something to Lu Yunan.

       Lu Jinlang saw Wen Jianing, and said to him, “I’ll ask Yunan to take you to the TV station later. You’re still going to the TV station today, right?”

       Wen Jianing nodded, “I have to continue the rehearsal.”

       Lu Jinlang said, “Good luck.”

       Wen Jianing was a little out of shape during the whole day’s rehearsal. Later, the music teacher became angry and asked him if he actually didn’t want to continue the competition.

       Wen Lin, who was also in the same practice room, was sitting in the corner playing his guitar.

       Wen Jianing remembered that Wen Lin had left without saying goodbye yesterday. When he was taking a break, he walked toward him and sat down and asked him why he left yesterday.

       “Xinhang,” Wen Lin moved his hand away from the guitar strings and looked a little dazed. “I don’t know what I’m working on anymore. I found that even if I win the championship this time, it doesn’t seem to mean anything to me.”

       Wen Jianing said to him, “Haven’t you thought that the changes this game will bring to you are very limited? It just gives you a way to go, how to go on is up to you.”

       “On my own?” Wen Lin said, “Do I have the right to choose?”

       Wen Jianing said softly, “Have you thought about what abilities you have? Why should you ask others to give you the right to choose?”

       Wen Lin couldn’t help but be stunned when he heard it.

       “Opportunities are won,” Wen Jianing put his hands on his knees, “You haven’t taken this step yet. Isn’t it too early to give up now?”

       Wen Lin turned his head to look at him and was silent for a while before saying to him, “Thank you.”

       Wen Jianing patted him on the shoulder.

       It was almost time for the final**, the program team made various plans to present the most wonderful round. Unfortunately, Wen Jianing and Wen Lin were not in good condition. The director was a little anxious and talked to the two in private.

       Wen Jianing naturally couldn’t say anything.

       After they returned from the general director’s office, Wen Jianing met Yi Nan in the corridor. Yi Nan looked at his eyes with some indescribable gaze.

       Wen Jianing didn’t want to talk to him, but when he passed by Yi Nan, he heard him say, “I heard you went back with Lu Jinlang yesterday?”

       Wen Jianing stopped all of a sudden. He was in a bad mood, and Yi Nan’s deliberate provocation made him very uncomfortable.

       There were only two of them in the corridor. He turned to face Yi Nan and said, “Yeah, who told me that I didn’t have a good background to get me the champion by default?”

       Yi Nan’s expression suddenly changed. He asked Wen Jianing, “Who did you hear that from?”

       In fact, Wen Jianing didn’t know Yi Nan’s background. He just looked at Yi Nan’s food and clothing, listened to the way he spoke, and guessed that he should be a young master from a well off family. This time, he was named the winner internally, mostly because of his family’s relationship, which was why he said what he just said.

       However, Yi Nan’s reaction made him feel a little perplexed. He didn’t intend to speak in-depth and turned to leave.

       But he didn’t expect Yi nan to grab his hand and didn’t let him leave. “Tell me clearly, where did you hear about this?”

       Wen Jianing found that Yi Nan’s expression was a little angry. He was a little confused and suddenly realized that Yi Nan probably didn’t know that someone had helped him to get the champion behind his back. Wen Jianing was even more reluctant to say more. He said, “I accidentally heard about it from someone.”

       Yi Nan pursued, “From who?”

       Wen Jianing knew that he was going to pursue it to the end, so he shook off his hand and said, “Don’t you know who is backing you up? What’s the use of asking me? I have no obligation to tell you!”

       With that, Wen Jianing started to walk away again.

       Yi Nan grabbed his right arm and tugged it hard.

       Yi Nan was exerting a lot of strength and Wen Jianing was almost dragged down by him. Wen Jianing suddenly became angry, and said, “What are you playing at? Even if you fight me here today, I still don’t know!”

       His voice echoed loudly, and the people in the next few rooms were intrigued. They came out and saw the two quarreling, so they hurried over to persuade them to stop fighting.

       When Yi Nan saw other people come, he didn’t continue to hold Wen Jia Ning.

       Wen Jianing pulled up his torn sleeve, turned and walked away.

       The news of the conflict between the two people spread out on the same day. Someone circulated the news that “Ke Xinhang and Yi Nan quarrelled at the TV station, and they even got into a fight. Ke Xinhang’s sleeves were torn.”, and it soon became a hot topic on Weibo.

       That night, Wen Jianing received a call from Lei Xing telling him to go to the company.

       As soon as he entered Wu Dongqin’s office, he heard the other party complaining, “Xinhang, what did you do? Why are you guys quarrelling in a place like a corridor?”

       Wen Jianing saw that Wu Dongqin and He Chaoshu were there, but Yi Nan was not there. Knowing that the other party was only coming at him, he might have to be the one who had to come forward to explain something to the media. He immediately felt more upset.

       He Chaoshu said to him, “Everyone is a colleague in a company, there is no need to make fun of others.”

       Wen Jianing said, “It is him who is making fun of others, not me.”

       He Chaoshu and Wu Dongqin looked at each other.

       Wu Dongqin said, “We don’t know exactly what happened, but if Yi Nan offends you first, let’s sit down in private and talk about it, but we still have to keep showing to the people outside that it’s just a misunderstanding.”

       Wen Jianing didn’t speak.

       Wu Dongqin then said, “The final round is coming soon. We can’t say that it’s not good to stir up the topic at this time. These are indeed the times you should attract more attention. However, I think you should still control the degree. After it has circulated for two days, you register a Weibo, write a statement, say it’s a misunderstanding, and put a photo of you two together. It will be perfectly solved by then, won’t it?”

       Of course, Wen Jianing didn’t foolishly ask why it should be him, and not Yi Nan? He knew that Yi Nan’s position was better than his. This was the case in this circle. Your identity or background didn’t matter, unless you were able to make it big, you would always have to suffer.

       In fact, it was not only this circle. When a person becomes an adult and needs to work in society in order to get paid, they must bear this unless they can climb to the top of the food chain.

       It was a pity that Wen Jianing a person who was already at the top, was pushed down again, and now has to come back to suffer this hollow anger.

       If it was the usual, he didn’t have to do any meaningless persistence, but at this time, he just felt a little unbearable in his heart.

       When they saw that Wen Jianing didn’t speak, Wu Dongqin winked at He Chaoshu and motioned him to persuade him again.

       At this time, Wen Jianing’s mobile phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Lu Jinlang.

       As soon as the call was connected, Lu Jinlang asked, “Have you had dinner?”

       Wen Jianing couldn’t help but glance at those two, and then replied, “Not yet.”

       Lu Jinlang said to him, “Then let me pick you up, can you go now?”

       “Yes,” Wen Jianing said, “Come here, I’m at Lei Xing.”

       When he heard the conversation, Wu Dongqin suddenly seemed a little unhappy. They hadn’t finished talking here, but Wen Jianing was already in a hurry to leave, so he asked in a deep voice, “What? Do you have an appointment?”

       Wen Jianing hung up the phone and said, “I’m sorry, I have something to do and have to leave. Mr. Lu said he will come to pick me up.”

       Wu Dongqin was taken aback when he heard the words, “Mr. Lu?”

       It was He Chaoshu who reacted first, “You said Lu Jinlang?”

       Wen Jianing nodded, and walked outside and said, “We will discuss it when Yi Nan is here next time.”

       Neither Wu Dongqin nor He Chaoshu stopped him this time.

       After he went out of the room, Wen Jianing squeezed his phone. Compared with the business with Wu Dongqin here, he would rather have dinner with Lu Jinlang. Anyway, this time, Wen Jianing was a little grateful for Lu Jinlang’s call.

       Wen Jianing felt that he couldn’t drink anymore. He went to find He Chaoshu who was talking to someone, and said that he felt dizzy and wanted to rest first.

       He Chaoshu was a little unhappy at first. Wen Jianing said that he would easily get messed up when he was drunk. He was afraid of doing something shameful, so He Chaoshu said that he can leave first.

       He had just walked a few steps before Jiang Yongfei stopped him and told people that this was her junior brother, and Wen Jianing had another drink with her.

       Walking out of the banquet hall, Wen Jianing felt dizzy. He said to He Chaoshu, “I’m going to the bathroom.” Then he walked to the bathroom that was not far away from the banquet hall by himself.

       The whole bathroom was empty. Wen Jianing raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. He habitually walked towards the compartment, but when he was about to close the door, someone broke in.

       Wen Jianing was surprised. At this time, Lu Jinlang had reached out and locked the door of the compartment from the inside. At the same time, he hugged Wen Jianing from behind, held his jaw in one hand, raised his head and kissed his lips.

       At the end of the kiss, Wen Jianing tried his best to push Lu Jinlang away slightly. He panted and leaned against the wall of the compartment, and said, “What did you give me to drink?”

       Lu Jinlang was a little surprised. He said, “I brought back the fruit wine from Seychelles, but it was the first time I heard that there would be such an obvious reaction.”

       Wen Jianing looked at him. In addition to dizziness, he also had some unspeakable irritability.

       Lu Jinlang said, “Your body is too sensitive.”

       Wen Jianing knew that he seemed very obvious*, he said, “Let me go, I want to go back.”

       Lu Jinlang smiled, “Are you angry?”

       Wen Jianing shook his head. At this time, he was not in the mood to deal with him. He could only suppress his irritability as much as possible. He stretched out his hand to pull the door lock of the compartment, but unexpectedly, Lu Jinlang suddenly held his hand and his body against the wall.

       Wen Jianing’s eyes widened in surprise. His body was weak, and his head was dull because of the effect of alcohol. He subconsciously opened his mouth and wanted to call out for someone.

       Lu Jinlang immediately put his hand over his mouth and whispered in his ear, “Shh— Are you sure you want everyone to know?” Before Wen Jianing reacted, Lu Jinlang stuck one leg in the middle of his knee and gently pushed it up.

       Wen Jianing suddenly started to breathe heavily, and Lu Jinlang’s expression was obviously startled for a moment.

       Wen Jianing gasped and let out a painful whimper like a wounded little animal. He clearly saw Lu Jinlang’s expression. Then Lu Jinlang pulled open the zipper of Wen Jianing’s pants amidst the confusion and amazement.

       “Oh?” Lu Jinlang let out a meaningful low whistle in Wen Jianing’s ear. He was obviously surprised, but he did not move his hand away.

       Following Lu Jinlang’s movements, Wen Jianing raised his head. He didn’t know whether it was more painful or more joyful to experience this. He thought that Lu Jinlang’s purpose was to humiliate him, and Lu Jinlang carried the humiliation until the end in this way.

       Later, Lu Jinlang loosened his hand that was covering Wen Jianing’s mouth.

       Wen Jianing tilted his head away. He had forgotten to struggle, and the corners of his eyes were slightly moist.

       Lu Jinlang leaned in his ear and whispered, “Good, don’t let people outside hear it.”

       At the moment when Lu Jinlang completely released him, Wen Jianing knelt down on the ground. He only felt that his head became dizzier. Just now it was like a tight string was suddenly broken when it was pulled to its maximum. Now, in addition to being pulled off, surprisingly there was a feeling of relaxation.

       It was like he could just sit like this without caring or covering up anything. He didn’t have to be afraid of exposing anything in front of this person anymore.

       Lu Jinlang stretched out to get some toilet paper and wiped his hand clean, then squatted down. He looked at Wen Jianing with no disgust on his face, but his face was full of interest. He stretched out his hand to help Wen Jianing carefully tidy up his pants. When he looked up at Wen Jianing’s face, he found that Wen Jianing had actually closed his eyes and had fallen asleep.

       Wen Jianing actually almost passed out. In addition to the effects of alcohol, there were also mental and physical reasons.

       Lu Jinlang took off his coat and put it on Wen Jianing, then carried him in his arms.

       When he walked out of the bathroom door, Lu Jinlang saw He Chaoshu who had been waiting outside for Wen Jianing.

       He Chaoshu obviously didn’t know what was going on. When he saw that Lu Jinlang carried the person out, he was a bit dumbfounded, and asked, “Is he dead drunk?”

       Lu Jinlang shook his head, “I’ll take him home first, you don’t have to worry about it.”

       Although He Chaoshu was someone who had a lot of work experience, he had never encountered such a situation, and he didn’t know how to deal with it. He could only stand in place and watch Lu Jinlang leave from an elevator that was secluded with Wen Jianing in his arms.

       This whole night for Wen Jianing was more like a night of deep sleep. He didn’t even have a dream all night. The moment he gradually regained consciousness, he even thought he was back in his own home lying in his soft bed, and everything about Ke Xinhang was nothing but a dream……

       But the reality did not intend to let him off easily. After he opened his eyes, he was stunned for a while before Wen Jianing realized that this was not his house, nor was it Ke Xinhang’s house. This was the guest room of Lu Jinlang’s house, and he had stayed here for one night.

       After he woke up, the memory of last night gradually became clear. He moved his arm slightly and found that his clothes had been changed. Now he was wearing a set of soft silk pyjamas without even wearing underwear. He could feel the unique and comfortable touch of silk.

       He lay in bed and didn’t want to move anymore. In fact, he was neither very sad nor very frightened. He just thought that there was no reason why Lu Jinlang would tell anyone about it, but he didn’t know what his plan was.

       Just then, Wen Jianing heard the door open.

       Lu Jinlang walked in wearing soft slippers, barely making any sounds.

       When he sat down on the edge of the bed, Wen Jianing felt the mattress sink slightly to the side.

       Lu Jinlang put a hand on the pillow and asked, “Are you awake?”

       Wen Jianing didn’t speak or even turn his head to look at him. He told himself that as long as Lu Jinlang didn’t disclose it to others, he wouldn’t care what Lu Jinlang said or did.

       Ke Xinhang’s physical abnormalities were innate and couldn’t be changed. He could only accept them and try to protect himself instead of feeling inferior for this.

       Wen Jianing tried his best to do a psychological pep talk for himself. In fact, he just didn’t want to give up easily. After choosing this path again, he had imagined some possibilities. No matter what, he couldn’t be defeated now.

       When Lu Jinlang saw Wen Jianing didn’t respond, he said, “Since you’re awake, get up for a cup of milk, or do you want to drink coffee?”

       Wen Jianing turned his head and looked at him.

       Lu Jinlang still had a glass of milk in his hand, and he waited patiently for Wen Jianing’s response.

       Wen Jianing sat up, feeling a little dizzy when he got up, and his body swayed back slightly.

       Lu Jinlang raised his hand to support his back, then leaned him on his shoulder, and then said, “The wine last night has a little aphrodisiac, but it really didn’t have such a good effect. Haven’t you touched it for a long time?**”

       Wen Jianing didn’t want to talk about this to him. He leaned his head on Lu Jinlang’s shoulder, waiting for the dizziness to pass, thinking whether Ke Xinhang was anaemic. When he felt more relaxed, he reached for the milk in Lu Jinlang’s hand and drank it slowly.

       Lu Jinlang reached out and stroked his hair and his cheek and asked him, “Do you feel better?”

       Wen Jianing nodded.

       After Wen Jianing finished drinking a glass of milk, he said to Lu Jinlang, “Mr. Lu, I want to take a bath.”

       Lu Jinlang said, “Come with me, this room does not have a bathroom.” After that, Lu Jinlang stood up and stretched out a hand to Wen Jianing, trying to pull him.

       Wen Jianing did not hold Lu Jinlang’s hand but stood directly on the ground from the bedside.

       Lu Jinlang looked at him and said nothing.

       Wen Jianing could only stop and wait for Lu Jinlang.

       Lu Jinlang asked him, “Are you angry?”

       Wen Jianing said, “I’m not angry, you can do whatever you want. Do I have the right to be angry?”

       Lu Jinlang said, “Of course you do. There are some things that I didn’t expect, so I’m sorry. I thought it was just a happy thing that you wanted to do it with me.”

       Wen Jianing squeezed his hands tightly and loosened them slowly. He said, “Yes, it’s quite a happy thing, and I have to  thank you for it.”

       Lu Jinlang couldn’t hear what he said, but he didn’t say anything. He walked to Wen Jianing and took his hand, and led him towards the bathroom.

       Going into the bathroom, Wen Jianing didn’t even deliberately ask Lu Jinlang to leave. When Lu Jinlang was in front of him, he began to take off his pyjamas. While undressing, Wen Jianing said, “I know what you want to see, and I can tell you that I have been like this since the day I was born. I am different from normal people, so I cover it up and don’t want others to know. But I don’t think this will deny my life.”

       Lu Jinlang stood by the door, folded his arms on his chest, leaned against the door frame and stared at him.

       Wen Jianing stripped himself naked. He said, “Maybe the most stupid thing about me is that I believe in you. Because I have always admired you. I think you are a great actor and a goal I worked hard for, and this turns out to be what you call not forcing?” This sentence was more or less Wen Jianing’s heartfelt thoughts.

       Lu Jinlang walked in, stretched out his hand to turn on the shower, and then gently pulled Wen Jianing under the shower, regardless of the water on his clothes, and said, “You need to take a good shower now, don’t think about it too much.”

       Wen Jianing didn’t say anything more.

       Lu Jinlang said to him, “Call me if you need anything.” Then he walked outside and closed the door for him when he went out.

       Wen Jianing leaned his back against the cold wall, calmed his fierce mood a little, raised his head and covered his face with his hands.

*I’m betting my non-existent money that this actually means that Wen Jianing is aroused because of the wine. The author might not say things explicitly because the author might get reported for explicit content.
**Lu Jinlang was actually talking about Wen Jianing’s orga-m last night. His question is indirectly asking if he hasn’t f*pped for quite a time.

Notes: Nope. I’m not translating and editing it until 11PM because this is special hoeni chapter when I have to go to work at 8AM in the morning tomorrow.
Always drink in moderation guys! Knows your limit and never accept any drink from someone you don’t trust~
Also just saying, Lu Jinlang is not giving drugs to Wen Jianing’s drink, he just give him fruit wine he brought from Seychelles(that contains aphrodisiac, here some research about it) thinking that the effects wouldn’t be that potent……
ε- (´ー`*) Is he dumb or what….

       Wen Jianing knew that he had overreacted. He should have had a better way to deal with the situation just now, but he chose the most irrational way.

       The moment he fell to the ground, he saw a trace of confusion flash on Lu Jinlang’s face. So he tried to calm himself down and didn’t do anything that made Lu Jinlang suspicious.

       Wen Jianing quickly got up from the ground and wiped the water with his hands.

       Lu Jinlang sat on the sofa and looked at him for a while. He got up and brought him a clean towel.

       Wen Jianing took the towel and wiped the water on his body. At the same time, he constantly reminded himself not to do unnecessary moves, so as not to arouse Lu Jinlang’s suspicion.

       At this time, there was a knock on the waiting room’s door.

       Wen Jianing looked up towards the door.

       Lu Jinlang asked, “What’s the matter?”

       Song Dong’s voice came from outside. He said, “Jinlang, Miss Jiang Yongfei is here. She said that she would like to invite a few judges to dinner tonight.”

       Lu Jinlang looked at Wen Jianing after hearing the words.

       Jiang Yongfei was a young female singer who had become popular this year. The reason for her popularity was that she participated in a variety show on Starlight at the beginning of the year. Although her skill was far inferior to Xu Rujing and Wang Mei, she was far more popular and received more attention than them. 

       Jiang Yongfei suddenly appeared in this place, was not something to think about. It must be because she was the mysterious guest in this competition.

       Jiang Yongfei and Yi Nan rehearsed for most of the day. At this time, they took the initiative to greet the seniors and offered an invitation to have dinner together.

       Lu Jinlang heard the words and said, “Wait a minute.”

       Then he said to Wen Jianing, “Let’s go to dinner together.”

       Wen Jianing refused without thinking, “It’s not appropriate for me to come. You guys go eat, the competition is tomorrow, and I have to rest early today.”

       Lu Jinlang didn’t force him, and he found him a piece of clean clothes to change.

       Wen Jianing hesitated when Lu Jinlang took off his upper T-shirt and replaced it with the white shirt Lu Jinlang gave him.

       When he opened the door and came out, Wen Jianing saw Xu Rujing, Wang Mei and Jiang Yongfei standing in the corridor talking. When they saw Wen Jianing come out, Wang Mei and Jiang Yongfei didn’t react, but Xu Rujing smiled ambiguously. Because Wen Jianing stayed with Lu Jinlang for a while, and even changed his clothes.

       Wen Jianing calmly nodded and greeted several judges, and then walked outside, ignoring what they might think.

       That night, Wen Jianing calmed himself down to stop thinking about what happened and took a good rest for the whole night.

       At eight o’clock in the evening the next day, the competition officially began to broadcast live.

       The duet performance with the judges was put in the first part of the live broadcast, with Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang in the first order.

        Two people had a last rehearsal in the afternoon, and now they were performing officially and they were in very good condition. In fact, Wen Jianing had always given the impression that he was a player with very good performance on the field. Every time he performed on the stage, his state was better than his rehearsals. That was why he could go so far in the competition.

       In fact, this had something to do with Wen Jianing’s good acting skills and the fact that he never experienced stage fright.

       The performance of the whole song was about the despair of a man betrayed by his lover. He was full of resentment and believed that the other person must not be well off even after leaving him.

       Lu Jinlang’s singing seemed a little distant because of despair, and Wen Jianing’s singing was more of a feeling of giving up because of pain. The female dancer swayed between the two people. At the end of the song, she began to stand in the middle of the stage and dance solo. Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing both looked at her and sang the words of remembrance in the hope that she could still return to his side.

       The feedback received after the song ended was very good. Soon someone cut off this section and put it on the Internet, and Weibo started to forward it like crazy.

       But the real climax of the show was the duet between Yi Nan and Jiang Yongfei because Jiang Yongfei’s popularity had attracted a lot of attention to Yi Nan.

       According to the statistics of Wen Jianing’s fans, the volume of people forwarding this duet video of Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang on Weibo was a lot more than that of Yi Nan. Moreover, the number of comments far exceeds that of Yi Nan and the others.

       Although this was just an exhibition duet, it could be said that it might give some influence on the next official competition. At least the second round of the competition took into account the scoring of the judges and the voting of the on-site audience at the same time. Wen Jianing entered the finals and was placed third. The first and second are Yi Nan and Wen Lin respectively.

       After the results of the game came out, Wen Jianing felt that he was satisfied. All he wanted was to get here. He knows that it was almost impossible to release records in the market now. He was unwilling to walk outside without preparing for anything, waiting to be kicked off the market when he was no longer popular. He wanted to plan his own life properly.

       In front of the bathroom sink, Wen Jianing turned on the faucet and ran the water on the top of his head, washing away the hairspray and the foundation on his face. He did not want the unbearable fragrance to remain on himself.

       After washing his face, Wen Jianing looked up and saw his wet hair sticking to his face in the mirror. He looked a little haggard.

       He really wanted to talk to Wu Dongqin. No, Wu Dongqin was nothing. He wanted to find the manager of Lei Xing. He believed that he would have a good development if he was given a chance. But he knew better than anyone why the other party should listen to him? With so many beautiful and capable young men, why should he be given good resources?

       His only chance was probably with Lu Jinlang, but he couldn’t do it. Wen Jianing punched the glass mirror in front of him, and then reached out to wipe the water off his face.

       The day after the game ended, Lei Xing hurriedly recalled all of them to the company.

       Wen Jianing met Wen Lin when he arrived. Neither of them knew what was going on. However, after asking the staff about it, they finally knew that Lei Xing made a big progress today. The contract between Jiang Yongfei and her former talent agency company has expired, and so they signed Jiang Yongfei.

       Lei Xing was a new company. Now, in addition to signing this group of singers from the STS talent show, Jiang Yongfei was undoubtedly the biggest star the company has signed.

       Today, the company held a press conference to hold the contract signing ceremony, and called Yi Nan, Wen Jianing and the others back, purely to set the scene for Jiang Yongfei.

       Wen Jianing also met Lei Xing’s manager for the first time today. He was a middle-aged man who looked quite calm, wearing a pair of glasses, and slightly overweight.

       Throughout the conference, Wen Jianing and the others served as extras, but after the conference was over, Lei Xing’s manager Huang Gang interviewed Wen Jianing and a few of them.

       All of what was said earlier was some clichés. Later Huang Gang said that after the competition, he wanted Wen Jianing and Wen Lin to act in a combination and let them meet with their agent.

       Before Wen Jianing spoke, Wen Lin immediately said, “I’m afraid Ke Xinhang’s music style and mine are not very suitable.”

       Huang Gang waved his hand and said, “Your future development path plans are diverse. You will definitely lose money when you release an album this year. It is best to be able to star in an idol drama, then sing a theme song, the ending of a movie, and hit the charts. You can’t be too narrow-minded. I think both of you look good and you can double your popularity together. What’s wrong with that?”

       Wen Lin still tried to protest.

       Huang Gang was obviously a little unhappy, but he didn’t show it on his face. He replied to Wen Lin in a more perfunctory tone.

       In fact, Wen Jianing thinks that Huang Gang was right. The road of music that Wen Lin was dedicated to was the most difficult road in the entertainment industry. Even a singer who had been famous for many years couldn’t produce an album even after a few years, not to mention a newbie singer who had just emerged from a talent show. The company was willing to give him more ways to shoot some drama or something, which was already considered a good thing. If no one paid attention to him, they would probably pull him out for commercial performances everywhere, squeeze the remaining value and directly abandon him until there would be no news about him anymore.

       The agent that the company arranged for them was He Chaoshu. He was a middle-aged man who had brought some artists and had some personal connections. He must have been dug up by Lei Xing from outside.

       He Chaoshu’s subordinates not only took the two of them but also took care of Yi Nan.

       Lei Xing had just spent a lot of money to sign Jiang Yongfei. It was believed that everything would revolve around Jiang Yongfei in the future, and even Yi Nan would have to take a back seat.

       After the press conference that night, Lei Xing hosted a small dinner to welcome Jiang Yongfei.

       Wen Jianing changed into the suit prepared by the company for him. When he came out of the dressing room, he heard He Chaoshu swearing and losing his temper. It turned out that Wen Lin left without even saying hello.

       Wen Jianing felt that Wen Lin was making a bad impression of himself. He felt that He Chaoshu’s temper was completely understandable, but he still need to take care of himself and did not have much energy to care about Wen Lin’s emotions.

       Although the welcome banquet at night was small, it was still stellar.

       In order to welcome Jiang Yongfei, the company was naturally willing to sacrifice money, and Jiang Yongfei also invited many of her friends to attend.

       Wen Jianing saw that she had invited all the judges of the Voice of Soul yesterday, and even Lu Jinlang, several brothers and sisters in the music and film circles even came to show some appreciation to Jiang Yongfei.

       But Wen Jianing didn’t know that Lu Jinlang’s purpose to come may not be to give some appreciation to Jiang Yongfei.

       At this time, Wen Jianing felt a little hungry. He didn’t have time for dinner, but when he saw the food on the banquet table, he didn’t have the nerve to stand beside the table and gulped down some food.

       The company somewhat used Jiang Yongfei’s popularity to introduce Yi Nan and Wen Jianing to their business relations.

       So from time to time, Wen Jianing would be called to drink two glasses of baijiu with someone.

       When he was free, he walked to the table alone and wanted to fork a veal steak to eat. Lu Jinlang walked to him with a glass of wine and asked, “Is it delicious?”

       Wen Jianing glanced at him and said, “It’s not bad. Try it.”

       Lu Jinlang said, “Feed me?”

       Wen Jianing lowered his head and said, “I wouldn’t dare. Do you know how many eyes you have attracted when you come over and talk to me now?”

       Lu Jinlang smiled. He walked to the table next to him and picked up two glasses of wine, then gave a glass to Wen Jianing and said, “Can you have a drink with me then?”

       Wen Jianing took it, clinked glasses with him, and drank it in one gulp.

       After drinking this glass of wine, Lu Jinlang stopped standing with Wen Jianing and walked away alone.

       But after that, Wen Jianing found that people came to him for a drink one after another. He was a newcomer in the company, and everyone else was polite, and he couldn’t refuse it when they were toasting while speaking of him highly.

       After drinking seven or eight cups in succession, Wen Jianing felt that something was wrong, and he turned his head and scanned the entire banquet hall.

       Lu Jinlang stood in the corner, smiling and raising his cup to him.

       It’s a pity that his gaze was out of focus at that time, and his gaze swept over without noticing anything.

       Back inside the house, Lu Jinlang went up to the second floor and went into the piano room just now. When Wen Jianing followed in, he saw Lu Jinlang sitting next to the piano.

       Lu Jinlang gently put his fingers on the keys, and the notes slowly flowed out of his fingertips. Wen Jianing could see that he had learned to play the piano. He might not be so professional and the rhythm was not very good, but the whole tune was still smooth.

       There were too many things about Lu Jinlang that Wen Jianing wasn’t sure about.

       He was playing the song they were about to sing in the next competition. After the prelude was over, Lu Jinlang sang softly with the sound of the piano.

       He sang somewhat intermittently, because he couldn’t pay attention to both singing and playing the piano, so he was distracted a lot. Lu Jinlang’s voice was deep and magnetic. Although his singing skills were very mediocre, because of his good voice, this song naturally has a bit more flavour.

       Wen Jianing sat on the sofa and listened quietly to Lu Jinlang singing.

       In fact, the atmosphere was very profound. He felt that if he were a woman, he might not be able to resist Lu Jinlang. In other words, if he were not Wen Jianing, who was 34 this year, but was 20 years old Ke Xinhang, he might just leave everything behind.

       But he was not a man of that age anymore after all. He would not easily fall into a relationship, and similarly, he believed that Lu Jinlang would not either. Therefore, no matter how tender this moment was, it would hurt people once the novelty wore off and the interest fades.

       In addition to his physical defects, he had to be careful all the time and everywhere.

       After he finished singing the song, Lu Jinlang asked him, “For real? You didn’t feel anything at all?”

       Wen Jianing said, “I can manage. You are not rare after all.”

       Lu Jinlang smiled and asked, “Then what can you manage to give? A kiss?”

       Wen Jianing didn’t say a word as a tacit consent.

       Lu Jinlang waved to him, “Come on, it’s better than nothing.”

       Wen Jianing stood up, walked over to Lu Jinlang, leaned in and kissed him lightly on his lips. When Lu Jinlang wanted to deepen the kiss, he left.

       Lu Jinlang was not angry he did that. He sat on the piano stool, looked at him and said, “It was getting late. Go and have a rest.”

       When Wen Jianing was standing in front of the guest room and about to close the door, Lu Jinlang kissed his lips again and said, “Good night.”

       Wen Jianing smiled and said, “Good night.”

       When he was closing the door, Wen Jianing suddenly found that he felt very natural about the kiss just now, as if they should get along like that. He couldn’t help smiling and shaking his head and reminding himself not to be boiled to death by Lu Jinlang’s warm water.*

       The next morning, Lu Jinlang still asked Lu Yunan to send Wen Jianing back. This time, they went back separately. The two didn’t meet until they began rehearsing the dance the day before the competition.

       Wen Jianing’s dancing part has been rehearsed many times before. Today, it was mainly about rehearsing Lu Jinlang’s part and Wen Jianing accompanying his position.

       Lu Jinlang was not good at dancing, but his physical performance ability was very strong. The dance teacher asked him to do an elegant gesture of pushing the dancer away, and he could really do it with great grace.

       One of the movements was that the sexy dancer leaned on his chest, raised her head and stretched out her hand to touch his face. One of his hands should slide along the lower jaw of the dancer to her chest.

       After Lu Jinlang finished it, the dance teacher whistled and shouted praise.

       Then the dancer slowly released Lu Jinlang’s hand and walked toward Wen Jianing. She hugged Wen Jianing’s shoulders. Wen Jianing held her waist with one hand and raised her leg with the other. With one leg hooked around Wen Jianing’s waist, the two clung to each other.

       At this time, the dance teacher shouted, “Xinhang, move more naturally!”

       It turned out that Wen Jianing was deliberately avoiding their two bodies from being too close to one another. He always couldn’t help bending slightly to prevent his lower body from touching the female dancer.

       The dance teacher came over. He was very satisfied with Wen Jianing’s previous performance. The only thing was that he felt that the other party was too restrained and he personally demonstrated it to Wen Jianing. His body was close to the female dancer and said to Wen Jianing, “See? Just be natural and don’t be shy!”

       Wen Jianing was not shy. He just cared about his body.

       At this time, he turned his head and glanced at Lu Jinlang. Lu Jinlang was drinking water and noticed that he was looking at him, so he also looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

       In the end, Wen Jianing failed to overcome the psychological barrier. The dance teacher felt that the action was really unsightly, so he changed the action and didn’t force him.

       After the rehearsal, Lu Jinlang said to Wen Jianing on his way to the lounge, “Let’s eat dinner together later.”

       Wen Jianing agreed.

       He was sweating all over. When he saw no one in the bathroom, he took a bath first. When he came out and changed his clothes, he sat in the dressing room waiting for Lu Jinlang’s call, but he waited for nearly half an hour and there was still nothing.

       Wen Jianing suddenly wondered if Lu Jinlang just said it casually. He might’ve forgotten about asking him for dinner and left by himself.

       He got up, cleaned up his things, and decided not to wait here. He picked up his bag and walked towards Lu Jinlang’s waiting room.

       When he got closer, he saw Lu Jinlang’s agent Song Dong and Xu Rujing’s agent Zhou Yali standing in the corridor outside the waiting room.

       Song Dong was smoking while joking around, talking and laughing. Suddenly, he saw Zhou Yali turn her head to look his way, so his eyes followed her.

       The moment when he saw Wen Jianing, Song Dong’s face didn’t look so good. He asked in a cold voice, “Who are you looking for?”

       Wen Jianing knew Song Dong’s character. To put it nicely, he was observant of people’s words and expressions. To put it badly, he was someone who looked down on people. He didn’t get angry either. He stopped and asked, “Is Mr. Lu there?”

       Song Dong said, “What do you want?”

       Wen Jianing just said, “Mr. Lu knows. Is he inside?”

       Zhou Yali stood by as if she was watching a comedy.

       Song Dong felt that he shouldn’t be fooled by this brat’s words. He had to help Lu Jinlang check it, so he asked, “What does Mr. Lu know? Do you know how many things Mr. Lu has in a day? How can he remember what appointment he has with you?”

       “What’s with the noise?” Xu Rujing opened the door of her own lounge next to her.

       Today all these judges joined the rehearsal on the TV station, and even the mysterious guest seemed to have arrived, but Wen Jianing didn’t see who it was.

       When Xu Rujing saw Wen Jianing, she smiled kindly and said, “Xiao Ke, what’s the matter?”

       Wen Jianing was naturally polite to Xu Rujing and said, “I’m looking for Mr. Lu.”

       Xu Rujing knew that Lu Jinlang was not very open about Wen Jianing, so she said to Song Dong, “Tell Jinlang that his little friend is here to see him.”

       Song Dong couldn’t refute Xu Rujing, so he knocked on the door of Lu Jinlang’s waiting room with reluctance.

       Lu Jinlang said, “Come in.”

       Song Dong opened the door and told Lu Jinlang that a contestant named Ke Xinhang wanted to see him.

       Lu Jinlang said, “Let him in.”

       Song Dong then let Wen Jianing in. He wanted to follow him but was stopped by Lu Jinlang’s stare.

       Song Dong closed the door, saw Zhou Liya enter Xu Rujing’s waiting room next door, and then closed the door. He knew that the two of them were definitely going to talk about Lu Jinlang’s affair, and suddenly felt uneasy.

       Wen Jianing went into Lu Jinlang’s waiting room and saw him on the phone.

       Lu Jinlang asked Wen Jianing to sit on the sofa and wait for him. He was on the phone for a while before hanging up. Then he sat down next to the sofa and asked, “What’s going on today?”

       Wen Jianing did not answer.

       Lu Jinlang suddenly reached out and grabbed Wen Jianing’s hand that was on his own knee, turned it over and looked at it, and then he realized that Wen Jianing’s hands were white and slender, with round nails and delicate skin. To be honest, if it weren’t for the fingers, they would look more like women’s hands.

       Wen Jianing didn’t know what Lu Jinlang was thinking. He just watched him look at his hand carefully, so he couldn’t help curling up his fingers and said, “Nothing.”

        “You don’t like women?” Lu Jinlang asked according to his own understanding.

       Wen Jianing glanced at him after hearing this, and said: “I don’t like men either.”

       Lu Jinlang smiled, “Then why did you kiss me?”

       Wen Jianing wanted to say that he even kissed his dog. But when the words reached his lips, he wondered why he should offend Lu Jinlang, so he didn’t say anything.

       Lu Jinlang held his hand and suddenly exerted some strength. He pulled him up and made him sit on his thigh.

       Wen Jianing immediately wanted to stand up, but Lu Jinlang held him with great strength. Struggling in this position would embarrass both of them. He struggled for a while and was hugged by Lu Jinlang with an arm on his waist, so he didn’t try hard anymore. He just panted slightly and said, “Is Mr. Lu going to be a troublemaker in public?”

       Lu Jinlang pinched his chin with one hand, turned his face around, and asked, “Are you going to scream?”

       Wen Jianing squinted his gaze and glanced at him. It’s hard to tell how angry he is.

       Lu Jinlang suddenly moved his hand to touch his jaw. He said, “Your chin feels very smooth, like a woman.”

       Wen Jianing’s complexion suddenly changed. He forced to turn his face away and broke away from Lu Jinlang’s hand.

       At this time, Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand and wanted to touch it down. At the same time, he joked, “Are you really not a woman?”

       Wen Jianing tried his best this time and broke free from Lu Jinlang. Then he took two steps back in panic and tripped over the tea table next to the sofa. At the same time, the teacup next to the tea table fell off and all the tea was spilt on him.

The author has something to say:

I was too busy this morning, I just didn’t have time to send out the saved manuscript.

*to be boiled by someone’s warm water basically means to die miserably because of someone’s kindness

Notes: It tooks me hours and back and forth conversation with my friend to get the conversation between Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing in the piano room right. I hope it’s not weird….
