Day: September 23, 2021

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       Fang Mingdong’s head was tilted to one side

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Fang Mingdong didn’t say anything more.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Cao Songquan seemed to like the entertainment.

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

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

　　Cao Songquan nodded.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Several girls giggled on the sidelines.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       “I drove here,” Wen Jianing said.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       Wen Jianing nodded without asking where they would go.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       Lu Jinlang didn’t speak.

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

       It was clearly the gesture of a young girl.

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

       Lu Jinlang nodded.

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

       Lu Jinlang said, “It only depends on how Cao Songquan sees it.”

       Wen Jianing also knew that this might not be the effect Cao Songquan wanted.

       Lu Jinlang put his hand on the instep of his feet*,  “Although it was not easy to win prizes for this kind of romantic comedy, it should not affect the actors. So play it well.”

       Wen Jianing nodded.

       Lu Jinlang suddenly held his foot.

       Wen Jianing looked at him and said, “Mr. Lu, the sky is still bright. Is it appropriate to do this kind of thing?”

       Lu Jinlang didn’t speak, and slowly held his ankle upwards and pulled him to his side.

       Wen Jianing had to reach out and hold the sofa for support.

       Lu Jinlang grabbed Wen Jianing by the ankle and dragged him over, and said, “Are you not going to continue acting?”

       “What to continue?” Wen Jianing asked him.

       Lu Jinlang said, “Continue to talk to me in that tone you used just now.”

       Wen Jianing was annoyed and amused and asked him, “Say what?”

       Lu Jinlang lifted Wen Jianing’s feet, and even kissed them gently with his lips, saying, “For example, ‘don’t touch me’ or something…”

       “…” Wen Jianing suddenly was speechless, “Are you a pervert?” Despite what he said, Wen Jianing’s heart beat faster because of what he did just now.

       At this time, Lu Jinlang had already stretched out his hand to unzip his pants, unbuttoned them, and then grabbed one leg of his pants and pulled it out.

       Wen Jianing’s trousers were mostly loose, and as soon as Lu Jinlang pulled them, he quickly pulled off the trouser leg, revealing his underwear.

       As he looked down at his underwear, Wen Jianing remembered one thing. Xue You mostly used tight pants. He felt that he should think of something more convenient than stuffing socks.

       Lu Jinlang was a little surprised, “What are you thinking?” He didn’t understand why the other party could still be distracted in this situation.

       Wen Jianing raised his leg and tore off the other leg of his trousers freely, then stepped over Lu Jinlang’s leg and knelt in front of him, and said, “Look.”

       Lu Jinlang looked at the spaces between his legs, and after some thought, he said, “Very cute.”

       Wen Jianing didn’t bother to pay attention to him, and said, “Some of Xue’s pants are tight pants. I stuffed socks into them the last time I tried them on.”

       Lu Jinlang immediately understood what he meant. He reached out and pinched Wen Jianing’s little thing through his underwear and said, “The socks are not clean. Let’s think of other ways.”

       Wen Jianing waited for him to think of a solution.

       Lu Jinlang said, “I’ll find a way, and tomorrow I’ll ask Yunan to find out if there’s anything suitable.”

       Wen Jianing smiled, lowered his head to hug him and kissed him.

       Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand to hold his hip in one hand and reached under the hem of his clothes with the other.

       Wen Jianing remembered the request made by Lu Jinlang just now, and said in a perfunctory tone, “Don’t touch me.”

       Lu Jinlang was a little amused. He stretched out his hand to grab Wen Jianing’s shirt, pulled him down, kissed his lips, and said, “What if I have to touch it?”

       Wen Jianing heard the words, closed his eyes, looked nervous and shy, and said, “Well, whatever you say then.”

       As soon as he said that, Lu Jinlang rolled him over and pressed him onto the sofa.

       Two days later, Wen Jianing didn’t know from where, but Lu Jinlang managed to get him some underwear with a sponge cushion that wrapped his front comfortably. Even if he was only wearing underwear, it didn’t look unnatural.

       Wen Jianing was very satisfied.

       After the filming officially started, Wen Jianing entered the crew a few days later.

       All of his earlier scenes were filmed in a studio on the outskirts of the city. Most of his scenes were with the heroine Mu Huaqi in a small rental house shared by the two of them.

       Before the filming started, Wen Jianing went to say hello to director Cao Songquan.

       When Cao Songquan saw him, he just asked, “Fang Wei recommended you to me last time, right?”

       Wen Jianing said, “Yes, but Director Fang is speaking too highly of me.”

       Cao Songquan nodded and said nothing more.

       Wen Jianing’s first scene was when he went into the bathroom in his pyjamas at night, only to find a c0ckroach and ran out with a scream, then the heroine Mu Huaqi rushed in and killed the c0ckroach.

       This was a pretty long shot. Facing the bathroom door, in the middle of the shot was a living c0ckroach fixed on the faucet.

       Wen Jianing wore a set of pink pyjamas, with a towel around his neck, his hair was sprayed with water by the makeup artist, and his face which was patted with water was bright red.

       The director told him to twist his waist and walk inside, but in the first scene, he walked inside without making an exaggerated and deliberate gesture. Just like an ordinary girl, wearing slippers, walking slowly while dragging her steps.

       Cao Songquan kept staring at Wen Jianing on the monitor. The assistant director had planned to stop him, but he didn’t move. Because he could see clearly from the monitor, that the young man with red lips and white teeth, water dripping on his head, red cheeks, soft eyes, and that walking posture, really looked like a girl.

       Then he seemed to notice the bug on the faucet, frowned slightly, and looked closer, then his face seemed to turn pale in an instant, he gave a heartbreaking scream, turned and ran outside.

       The whole studio was quiet, and Mu Huaqi, who was supposed to rush into the bathroom, didn’t react. She was completely frightened by Wen Jianing’s scream.

       At this time, Cao Songquan can only shout, “Cut”.

       Everyone present was waiting for his response.

       Cao Songquan replayed the scene just now, and the assistant director whispered, “Would you like to tell him about how the scene should be?”

       Cao Songquan rubbed the stubble on his chin with one hand, shook his head, and said, “No, I would like to think about it.”

       The shooting was paused.

       Wen Tinghuan took a coat and put it on Wen Jianing, and said, “Is your voice hoarse? You scare me.”

       Wen Jianing smiled, “Isn’t that how you reacted when you saw a c0ckroach last time?”

       Wen Tinghuan said, “fvck off! Do you have nothing to do? Why are you peeking at me?”

       Wen Jianing said, “Ting jie, you are actually quite feminine.”

       When the filming started again, Cao Songquan said to Wen Jianing, “Just keep acting as you did just now. Huaqi, don’t freeze. Respond quickly.”

       So Wen Jianing wetted his hair again, this time there was a little more water, and the drops of water slid down his cheeks and dripped on the collarbone.

       The assistant director watched from the side and suddenly gulped.

       Wen Jianing walked through the scene again, and Cao Songquan stared hard at the monitor, making sure he didn’t bump into it but still did it anyway.

       Although there was a gap between this and his expected comedy effect, Cao Songquan felt that this kind of performance was also very good. He was not a director who followed the sleazy routes in directing. He also pursued the aesthetic and artistic sense of the film instead of being blindly cheesy and funny.

       In fact, it was of course not only Cao Songquan who noticed Wen Jianing’s acting skills but also the staff on the scene.

       After the scene was over, several people on the scene were talking in low voices, saying that Ke Xinhang really looked like a woman, and some people said that he seemed to be sexier than Mu Huaqi.

       Of course, this was somewhat due to the role setting. Xue You was originally a man who was more sassy than a woman.

       Cao Songquan called Wen Jianing over, and Cao Songquan asked him about his understanding of the character.

       Wen Jianing said, “I think he is a man who is a woman at heart. He will be a little bit coy in front of others. Because he has to withstand attacks from the outside world, he will make himself behave more exaggeratedly. The purpose is to conceal the damage caused by others’ attacks on him and to show his indifference. But he is just like an ordinary woman in private, especially when he is with a girlfriend who understands him.”

       Cao Songquan thought what he said was reasonable. He nodded all the time and finally asked Wen Jianing, “Did you study acting?”

       Wen Jianing shook his head, “I have acted in a TV series, and I have some experience.”

       Cao Songquan said, “I just finished that Chinese historical movie recently. I know my daughter is watching it too. No wonder Fang Wei wants to recommend you to me. It’s very good, young people are good. Develop well.”

       Wen Jianing smiled and said, “Thank you, Director Cao.”

       The first few scenes were filmed in that pyjamas.

       Wen Jianing sat on the sofa and painted his nails with Mu Huaqi. For this scene, he deliberately consulted young female employees in the company and learned nail painting techniques.

       After he finished painting the nails, he stretched out his hand, spread his five fingers and raised it in front of him to take a look. In the camera, his fingers are fair and slender, and his nails are clean and round. Then he bent his fingers carefully while listening to Mu Huaqi telling him about her spring dreams.

       Although Mu Huaqi was not very beautiful, she was a skilful actress. Her character was a simple girl who didn’t know how to dress up. She wore a T-shirt as pyjamas and her hair was messy. When she talked excitedly, she squeezed her hands into fists to block her face, and screamed, “What should I do—”

       Wen Jianing listened very seriously, accidentally took the nails that are still wet with nail polish to his mouth and took a bite. Then he was shocked and shouted, “My nails!” Then he frantically searched for nail polish remover.

       It was late at night when the filming of the first day ended.

       Wen Jianing felt very tired and almost went to sleep with his eyes closed when he got in the car.

       Only when he was driven to the gate of the neighbourhood, did Wen Tinghuan gently push him to wake him up, “We’ve arrived.”

       Wen Jianing opened his eyes and thanked her.

       When he got home, he thought Lu Jinlang had gone to bed, and he didn’t expect that there was still a light in the living room. Lu Jinlang was lying on the sofa holding a laptop and surfing the internet. When he saw him coming back, he got up and said, “I’ve cooked some food for you, and let me warm it up for you.”

       Lu Jinlang went into the kitchen.

       Wen Jianing stood in the living room and was stunned for a while. He followed him up to the kitchen and hugged Lu Jinlang’s waist from behind.

       Lu Jinlang patted his hand, “I have steamed two shrimp dumplings and they will be ready soon.”

       Wen Jianing leaned his head on Lu Jinlang’s shoulder, murmuring something, but his voice was too soft to be heard.

       Lu Jinlang asked him, “What?”

       He shook his head, closed his eyes and said, “It’s nothing.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　He smiled, neither admitted nor denied.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Wen Lin nodded seriously.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Wen Jianing said, “Yes, I have.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Wen Jianing was silent for a moment.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　”How popular?” Wen Jianing asked casually.

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

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

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

　　Wen Jianing laughed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Wen Tinghuan said, “More women than me.”

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

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

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

　　  “Married, huh” Wen Jianing suddenly sighed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　”Are you going?” Wen Jianing asked him.

　　Lu Jinlang nodded, “Of course.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　However, Lu Jinxin did not appear.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       “Yunan?” Wen Jianing was a little surprised.

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

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

　　Lu Yunan then took the clothes and left immediately.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Yi Nan snorted coldly and said nothing more.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Su Shan didn’t say anything.

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

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

　　Wen Jianing nodded.

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

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

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

　　The conversation did not continue at this point.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Wen Jianing smiled and didn’t say anything.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Lu Jinlang reached out and hugged his waist.

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

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

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

　　Lu Jinlang smiled and said nothing.

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

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

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

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

　　Wen Jianing asked, “What kind of role?”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Wen Jianing said, “I know.”

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

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

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

　　Before Lu Jinlang answer, the doorbell rang suddenly.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Wen Jianing walked to his side.

　　Lu Jinlang naturally held his hand.

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

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

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

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

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

　　Lu Jinxin’s complexion was a little gloomy.

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

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

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

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

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

       This time Lu Jinlang didn’t wear a condom.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       The audience laughed warmly.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       Wen Lin also smiled.

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

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

       Of course, no one would answer him.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       Lu Jinlang was indeed sexually aroused.

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

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

       So their sex life was very harmonious.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       Yan Ruowei drowned himself in this illusion.

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

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

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

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

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

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

       Wen Jianing let out a comfortable sigh.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       Wen Lin said, “I want to sing.”

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

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

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

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

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

       Wen Lin sat down slowly in silence.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       Wen Jianing was taken aback, “Manager Bai?”

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

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

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

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

       Zheng Xin looked at him.

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

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

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

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

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

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