Day: September 25, 2021

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Lu Yunan came in with Lu Jinlang.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Wen Tinghuan had no choice but to accept his request.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Wen Jianing raised his head to look at him.

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

　　Wen Jianing did not answer him.

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

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

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

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

　　Lu Jinlang reached out and touched his hair.

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

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

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

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

　　Wen Jianing nodded.

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　This house also has extraordinary significance to Wen Cuilan.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　”Sorry,” Wen Cuilan said politely.

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

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

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

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

　　The two then exchange some words.

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

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

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

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

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

　　”I know,” Wen Jianing said.

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

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

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

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

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

       Lu Jinlang sent Wen Jianing to the private hospital he had contacted in advance.

       Wen Jianing still looked a little nervous. He was silent and didn’t say a word.

       Lu Jinlang said to him, “Don’t worry, I have already told the doctor about your condition.”

       Wen Jianing stared at him in bewilderment.

       Lu Jinlang reached over his head and said, “I only said you had a physical disability, I didn’t say anything specific, and he wasn’t curious. Don’t worry, he has no interest in the privacy of his patients.”

       The surname of the doctor who checked Wen Jianing was Xia, with a given name Yan. He looked somewhat cold and poker faced.

　　Xia Yan didn’t show any curiosity about Wen Jianing’s body, and only because he had an injury on his leg, he asked him to roll up half of his trousers to check the injury on his knee. Then he asked Wen Jianing to take another X-ray, and saw there was no injury to the bone. He said that there should be some damage to the ligament.

       Wen Jianing did not drown. He was only worried about the impact of falling into the water and other physical injuries during the fight with the middle-aged man, as well as the cut in his scalp that was slashed by the middle-aged man with his mobile phone. Xia Yan helped him do some detailed examinations, and then said that Wen Jianing should stay in the hospital for observation for two days, and if there was nothing else, they could go back earlier.

       Afterwards, Xia Yan said directly to Lu Jinlang, “Mr. Ke may still be a little frightened, let’s inform his family.”

       Lu Jinlang thanked him.

　　In fact, Xia Yan was right. Wen Jianing was more or less frightened at that time. The feeling of being held by others to die together was unimaginable. Moreover at that time, he had to bear the fear of being discovered by others. Aside from the urgency to look for Lu Jinlang, his head was completely empty at the time. It was a bit like an instinctive human stress response.

　　As he lay down on the hospital bed, his emotions gradually calmed down.

　　”I’m sorry,” Wen Jianing said to Lu Jinlang who was sitting next to the bed, “I’ve caused you so much trouble.”

　　Lu Jinlang reached out his hand and touched his face, and said, “Nonsense.”

　　Wen Jianing was recuperating in the hospital for two days. At first, Xia Yan came every once in a while to ask about his health. Later, when he saw that there were no major problems, he left with a piece of mind.

　　 During this period, Cao Songquan rushed over to visit him. He sat on the chair beside the bed, and took his hand, “Little brother”. He said, “It’s all big brother’s fault. Big brother is sorry for you.”

　　Wen Jianing couldn’t help but smile.

　　Cao Songquan said, “I wouldn’t dare take you out next time.”

　　Wen Jianing hurriedly said, “No, I’m still waiting for you to take me out to your next movie as well.”

　　Cao Song patted his chest, “I will try to find a script adaptation specifically for you to play next. I promise you, rest assured.”

　　Of course, Wen Jianing couldn’t easily believe his words, but he still looked happy and said, “You better keep your promise.”

　　Cao Songquan then stood outside the ward talking with Lu Jinlang. He hurriedly apologized to Lu Jinlang, “I originally just wanted to take him out to have fun. It’s not usually this chaotic. How could one expect to encounter such a thing?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “It’s because of his bad luck, Director Cao doesn’t need to blame himself.”

　　”Tsk,” Cao Songquan suddenly sighed, “You didn’t see it at the time. Xiao Ke was really hell-bent to see you. At that moment, no one except you was allowed to touch him. To be honest, I was shocked. Before getting along with him better, I always thought he was a pretty strong and independent character.”

　　Lu Jinlang stood quietly without giving a response.

　　Not long after Cao Songquan left, Li Rong and Wei Lun both asked people to send a bunch of flowers to Wen Jianing, but they didn’t show up in person.

　　In the afternoon, Wen Tinghuan rushed to the hospital in a hurry, and as soon as she entered the ward, she said angrily, “You didn’t inform me when something so big happened? Do you know I’m really caught unprepared today?”

　　Wen Jianing quickly apologized. He really forgot about notifying Wen Tinghuan.

　　Wen Tinghuan felt regretful after yelling. When she saw Wen Jianing’s pale face with injuries, she couldn’t help feeling worried. She sat down by the bed and didn’t know what to say for a while. This was an accident after all, and even though it seemed wrong that Wen Jianing was pulled out by Cao Songquan at night, even if she knew it in advance, she would encourage Wen Jianing to go out to play with Cao Songquan.

　　Cao Songquan was a laid-back person. If he was fond of you, he could say anything to flatter you. Moreover, if he liked you enough, he would keep thinking about giving you a role in his future movies.

　　Lu Jinlang was still in the ward at this time.

　　As soon as Wen Tinghuan came in, she only cared about Wen Jianing. Only now did she remember to say hello to Lu Jinlang.

　　Lu Jinlang was originally sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper. At this time, he stood up and said, “I’m going to go out for a while while you guys talk.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “No, I want to go for a walk.”

　　Lu Jinlang walked to the bed, “How are you planning to go? Don’t you remember that Doctor Xia told you not to walk as much as possible?”

　　Wen Jianing pointed to the wheelchair placed in the corner of the ward, “It’s okay, let Ting jie push me out.”

　　As she heard the words, Wen Tinghuan hurriedly pushed the wheelchair over and said, “I’ll take him out for a change of air, it’s hard for people to lie in bed for a long time.”

　　Wen Jianing lifted the quilt and wanted to move to the wheelchair by himself, but Lu Jinlang leaned forward and reached out to carry him. Then he put a blanket on his lap and handed him his coat, “Don’t let the wind blow it.”

　　Wen Jianing nodded, “I know.”

　　Thus, Wen Tinghuan pushed him out.

　　This was a very high-end local private hospital. Wen Jianing stayed in the VIP ward on the top floor of the hospital. There was a corridor outside the ward, and at the end of the corridor, there was a roof garden across a door. The garden was surrounded and topped by a large panel of glass, which was very transparent to the sun and filled with various plants.

　　At this time, there was no one in the small garden. The only one in the garden was Wen Tinghuan who came slowly with Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Tinghuan complained in a low voice that Wen Jianing didn’t notify her in time, “How can I not be the first one you notify when this kind of thing happened?”

　　Wen Jianing explained, “I was distracted at that time, I really didn’t expect that to happen.”

　　Wen Tinghuan said, “But you thought of telling Lu Jinlang.”

　　Wen Jianing could not refute.

　　Wen Tinghuan sighed and said, “I heard the man was the owner of a small business along the coast. His factory went bankrupt, so he took the money to gamble. As a result, he owed millions to the casino. He couldn’t figure out how to pay it back so jumped into the sea. The man was dead, and they couldn’t save him.”

　　Wen Jianing couldn’t sympathize with a man who tried to pull him to die together for no reason. When he heard that he was dead, he just said, “It’s better to die.”

　　Wen Tinghuan continued, “As for you, the ship gambling side has the responsibility after all. The ship gambling boss has already suppressed it. The media will not hear the news, and they wouldn’t dare to report it if they get the news, and they will give you a certain amount of compensation. I didn’t let them come to you, but let the company directly handle it, so you just have a good rest.”

　　”I’m fine,” Wen Jianing said. “The doctor said that it’s mainly caused by the injury in the knee’s ligament, and the rest is not serious. It’s better to rest for a period of time and reduce activities.”

　　Wen Tinghuan nodded, “It just so happens that the filming here has also ended. Go back and rest for a month, and I won’t arrange work for you.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Thank you.”

　　”Xinhang,” Wen Tinghuan suddenly called his name, “Actually, I didn’t expect Lu Jinlang to treat you so well.”

　　Wen Jianing did not say anything.

　　Wen Tinghuan seemed to be a little emotional, “I have been in the industry for a long time and I have seen everything. But it’s the first time I’ve seen someone as nice and genuine as he is to you.”

　　Wen Jianing raised his head and looked at the blue sky outside the glass wall. He was a little confused, “How do you know if he is genuine?”

　　Wen Tinghuan said, “I don’t know. I have lived for 30 years and had two relationships, but they have not had any good results. But if I meet someone like Lu Jinlang, I would probably be reluctant to let go.”

　　Wen Jianing felt that he shouldn’t be listening to Wen Tinghuan’s words anymore. He was not sober enough at this moment, as if something was pulling him down, he stretched out his hand and tried to hold the shore to prevent himself from completely falling into the swamp.

　　Wen Tinghuan said again, “Actually, I always wanted to ask you, what exactly did you plan to do? Have you ever thought about finding a woman for a lifetime?”

　　 “Ting jie,” Wen Jianing said softly, “I can’t do it with women.”

　　 Wen Tinghuan was startled, and after a moment of silence, she said, “Then you might as well consider your relationship with Lu Jinlang.” After that, Wen Tinghuan seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to say this. She added, “But you are still young, so you don’t need to rush. Just take your time to see and think clearly.”

　　 Wen Jianing said, “Thank you, Ting jie.”

　　The two of them talked for a bit more, and Wen Tinghuan pushed Wen Jianing back to the ward.

　　The corridor of the top floor ward was covered with thick carpet. The two of them were walking on it, and the sound of footsteps and the sound of the wheelchair rubbing the ground were almost inaudible. When he reached the door of the ward, Wen Jianing noticed that the door was not closed tightly. He raised his hand to push the door, and suddenly heard the sound of someone talking inside.

　　The other voice of the person who was talking seemed to be Lu Jinxin. He said, “Did you know that Ke Xinhang requested that he must see you when he was rescued from the sea?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “I heard Director Cao mentioned it.”

　　Lu Jinxin snorted coldly, “So you’re still trying to say you guys were just having fun and nothing more.”

　　 “What do you think?” Lu Jinlang asked.

　　Lu Jinxin’s tone was a little unhappy, “Stop saying ridiculous things to me.”

　　Lu Jinlang asked, “Was he frightened then?”

　　Lu Jinxin said, “He was scared, scared silly. He is crying and yelling that he must see you.”

　　Lu Jinlang did not speak.

　　”Jinlang,” Lu Jinxin said, “You are already in your thirties, and you can only have fun for a few years more. Think about it for yourself. When that time comes, Ke Xinhang is not going to give a fvck, and cause you trouble.”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “He won’t do that.”

　　Wen Jianing froze, he still maintained his palm against the door, not moving to listen to Lu Jinlang’s words.

　　Lu Jinlang went on to say, “He sees clearly better than anyone else, and sees better than me.”

　　”What do you mean?” Lu Jinxin asked him.

　　Lu Jinlang’s tone was very calm, “We both know what we want. There is no sincerity between us.”

　　Wen Jianing’s eyes widened in confusion, and he suddenly couldn’t remember when he had heard this phrase before.

　　Lu Jinxin was silent for a while, “Are both of you just putting on an act? Until this far?”

　　Lu Jinlang neither admitted nor denied it, but said, “So you don’t have to worry about it.”

　　Lu Jinxin said to him, “In that case, you should find a woman and get married.”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “So I could be like you, just to give birth to a child and then divorce? Second brother, the kind of marriage without love, haven’t you tasted enough of the bitter fruit yourself?”

　　The two people in the ward were speechless for a while.

　　Wen Jianing raised his head and looked at Wen Tinghuan behind him. Wen Tinghuan didn’t expect to hear these words immediately after saying those good things about Lu Jinlang just now. She felt embarrassed and didn’t know how to react at this time.

　　Taking advantage of the quiet atmosphere inside, Wen Jianing made a knocking motion and showed it to Wen Tinghuan, then turned his wheelchair to back away.

　　Wen Tinghuan came forward and knocked on the door. The door was not closed tightly and opened with a light push. She pretended to have just come back, turned around and pushed Wen Jianing in.

　　Lu Jinlang stood up, “You’re back?”

　　Wen Jianing looked at Lu Jinxin, “Mr. Lu is here?”

　　Lu Jinxin also stood up, still polite, and asked, “Are you all right?”

　　Wen Jianing smiled, “It’s nothing. Thank you Mr. Lu for your concern.”

　　 At this time Wen Tinghuan said to Wen Jianing, “Then I will go back to the hotel first, and then we will go back together.”

　　Wen Jianing nodded, “Take care, Ting jie.”

　　As soon as Wen Tinghuan left, Lu Jinxin also prepared to leave. But he officially came to visit Wen Jianing, and he couldn’t leave immediately. So he stayed and sat on the sofa again.

　　Lu Jinlang reached out and carried Wen Jianing back to the bed.

　　Lu Jinxin watched coldly.

　　Wen Jianing rushed to Lu Jin and smiled, “When are we going back?”

　　Lu Jinlang asked him, “Do you want to go back?”

　　Wen Jianing nodded.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Let’s go back tomorrow. Doctor Xia will follow us.”

　　Lu Jinxin felt that he might lose his temper if he stayed any longer, so he stood up and said goodbye.

　　Wen Jianing nodded, and said again, “Thank you, Mr. Lu.”

　　They went back by plane the next afternoon. Lu Jinlang didn’t take the same plane as Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Tinghuan accompanied him all the way, and couldn’t help but pay attention to Wen Jianing’s expression. He didn’t seem to be any different from how he usually was, just a little quieter. However, this silence was probably caused by physical discomfort, and he still looked very calm emotionally.

　　Wen Jianing said, “Ting jie, you’ve been glancing at me all the way. Are you falling in love with me?”

　　Wen Tinghuan said, “Who is brave enough to love you?” After she finished speaking, she put her face on one hand and whispered, “I don’t know what else to say, moreover you guys have put an act up until this point. Since both of you know you are not serious, then who is this act for?”

　　Wen Jianing didn’t speak.

　　Wen Tinghuan continued, “It would be better to trace back a little. Put away all the acts and hypocrisy and show some honest feelings.”

　　Wen Jianing felt a little funny at Wen Tinghuan’s exasperation. He asked, “What actually is the honest feeling?”

　　Wen Tinghuan said, “The Lu family is so rich that they can throw tens of millions out to create a blockbuster for you to promote you to the position of a leading actor.

　　Wen Jianing smiled and said, “Go ask Lu Jinxin if I’m worth the Lu family’s tens of millions.”

　　Wen Tinghuan heard his words and couldn’t say what she wanted to say for a while. She reached out and patted Wen Jianing on the shoulder and said, “Forget it. Let’s work hard together.”

       He didn’t have money with him?

       On this occasion, it sounded like a joke.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Give him the phone.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　”What does this mean?” Lu Jinxin asked.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Only the gamblers were still awake.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Someone took a blanket and wrapped Wen Jianing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Lu Jinlang came faster than expected.

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Cao Songquan came after him.

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

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

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

　　Wen Jianing asked, “Where are we going?”

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

　　Wen Jianing said, “But…”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The author has something to say:
After that, I will try my best to update not later than 12 o’clock, if I’m not busy, I will not ask for leave if I postpone the update. The postponed time is random. Only when Weibo officially asks for no update will it mean that there will be no update at that day.
Say, let me hit you! Stand still and don’t run!

*Saying Amitabha is similar to saying Hallelujah or similar to saying Praise the Lord.

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