Month: November 2021 (Page 3 of 3)

　　Lu Jinlang, who was on the podium, concealed his excitement well. However, when he stood in front of the podium and gave his acceptance speech, he still expressed his excitement and attention in words.

　　He said, “I actually didn’t expect to win this award. This is of great significance to me. It can be said to be a great affirmation. There are many people who I want to thank. Without their support, I would not have a chance to stand here. Thank you to everyone who loves me and who I love.”

　　He said several more words afterwards and then raised the trophy in his hand.

　　The audience burst into applause. The Best Director’s award tonight was even more touching than the Best Actor and Actress awards.

　　The online media was the first to announce the news and assigned a strikingly exaggerated title: Lu Jinlang, the legend of the Gods!

　　The writer wrote: From now on, he is not a simple actor who can only act, at least in the film industry, he is a God!

　　Lu Jinlang’s award ceremony also became the climax of the awards ceremony that night. He overshadowed the limelight of the Best Actor and Actress later. At the press conference after the award ceremony, all the reporters gathered around him and asked countless questions.

　　Because Lu Jinlang’s time to answer reporters’ questions was too short, it caused the reporters on the spot to be unhappy, blocked the road and prevented him from leaving, almost causing a riot.

　　Wen Jianing went to the celebration party arranged by the organizer early and waited. He knew that Lu Jinlang would definitely be drinking tonight, and he was going to take Lu Jinlang home with Lu Yunan later.

　　He didn’t get the best actor this time. It was a pity, but it didn’t surprise him. In contrast, he felt even more regretful that Jian Jun failed to win the Best Newcomer Award because even though Wen Lin did perform at a super level, Jian Jun’s performance was actually not weak.

　　”Don’t be depressed,” he said as he swayed the champagne in his hand and patted Jian Jun on the back.

　　Because of his health conditions, Wen Lin went back directly after attending the press conference and did not come to the reception.

　　Jian Jun was not depressed. He didn’t care too much about not winning, but when he saw Lu Jinlang standing on the podium in high spirits, he suddenly felt a little speechless. He wondered if one day the person standing on it was him, would he gain more attention in exchange for the attention of others?

　　It was not that he had no confidence in himself, he firmly believed that the gap between him and Lu Jinlang was only in time. If he could be born more than ten years earlier… As he thought of this, he looked at the people around him.

　　Wen Jianing was holding champagne in his hand, but his eyes drifted to the distant crowd. He casually moved the glass to his lips, his lips were only stained with some golden wine, but he didn’t drink much. But because of this action, his lips became moist and shiny……

　　Jian Jun silently turned his head back, earnestly focusing on a sexy actress who was wearing a slim short dress not far away.

　　Lu Jinlang arrived late, and he was surrounded by everyone as soon as he appeared. He received countless congratulations. Everyone was toasting him glass after glass without stopping.

　　Wen Jianing suddenly remembered the night when he suddenly died after drinking too much and started to get nervous for Lu Jinlang. He poked Jian Jun on the waist and said, “Go and help Director Lu stop a few glasses of wine.”

　　Jian Jun turned his head to look at him, “Why should I go?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “It’s not appropriate for me to go, let Lu Jinlang introduce you to some people on the way.”

　　Jian Jun finally passed by with a glass of wine. He had to say that Jian Jun’s appearance helped Lu Jinlang to some extent. Lu Jinlang also introduced him to some of the more famous directors and filmmakers in the circle.

　　Wen Jianing stayed in a quiet corner. In fact, he should go out and talk more with people, but tonight he didn’t pay much attention and couldn’t see anyone except Lu Jinlang. Even now, when he thought of Lu Jinlang holding him and said I love you, he would still tremble with excitement.

　　When your lover was at the top of his career, the excitement and pride you feel were actually no less than him.

　　However, Wen Jianing did not stay quiet for long. Someone appeared next to him with a glass of wine and said, “Not gonna have a drink?”

　　Wen Jianing turned his head and saw Xie Ruoming who came. Since the last time he met Xie Ruoming at the bar, there had been no news from the other party. That time it was also because of Xie Ruoming that Wen Jianing had an emotional outburst and confessed his identity to Lu Jinlang.

　　Wen Jianing clinked glasses with him, and then drank the wine in the glass in one breath.

　　Xie Ruoming smiled and stood side by side with him. Perhaps he just noticed that he was looking in the direction of Lu Jinlang, so he talked to him, “Jinlang is really a very good person.”

　　Wen Jianing nodded.

　　After a while, Xie Ruoming asked him, “Do you have any plans for work lately?”

　　Wen Jianing was a little surprised when he heard this question. He shook his head and said, “No.”

　　Xie Ruoming continued, “I have a new movie. I wonder if you are interested?”

　　Wen Jianing’s first Film Emperor award was for filming Xie Ruoming’s play, which was also his most memorable movie for him. Now Xie Ruoming offered him an invitation again, and of course he was interested.

　　Before he answered, Xie Ruoming said, “I watched Jinlang’s movie, and then I also watched Director Cao’s movie that you filmed before. I think the role of the script is very suitable for you now. If you are interested, I will ask my assistant to give you the script.”

　　Wen Jianing quickly said, “Of course I am interested. I just don’t know that Director Xie pay attention to me?”

　　Xie Ruoming said, “Before, Lu Jinlang brought you out to drink with me. So I naturally pay more attention to you. I have planned this new drama for a long time, and I have carefully considered the casting. I think you should be qualified.”

　　Wen Jianing changed a glass of wine and toasted to Xie Ruoming, “Thank you, Director.”

　　Xie Ruoming smiled and said, “What are you thanking me for, you should read the script first.”

　　Wen Jianing nodded, and left Xie Ruoming’s contact information with Wen Tinghuan, waiting for Xie Ruoming to hand him the script.

　　The two of them talked for a while, because Xie Ruoming was there, they soon attracted other actors to come over to toast with wine, and Wen Jianing also mingled with the crowd for some time.

　　Until he later saw that Lu Jinlang drank too much.

　　Lu Jinlang was already a little dizzy, and he didn’t speak fluently.

　　Wen Jianing called Lu Yunan and asked Lu Yunan to come in directly to pick them up, and then he also found an excuse to leave first. As he walked to the parking lot, Wen Jianing saw Lu Yunan helping Lu Jinlang got in the car, and quickly went over to help.

　　Today Lu Yunan was driving Lu Jinlang’s nanny car.

　　As soon as he got in the car, Lu Jinlang suddenly reached out and grabbed Wen Jianing’s lapel, pulling him closer to kiss his lips hard. He still remembered that when the two of them seldom met when they were together, Lu Jinlang often did these things with Wen Jianing in this car, but after they lived together, they rarely did, because they had a lot of time to take their time to slowly satisfy each other’s passions.

　　However, Lu Jinlang’s movements were a bit fierce now. While he kissed Wen Jianing, one hand reached through the hem of his shirt and squeezed his waist, so hard that it caused Wen Jianning some pain.

　　As the car drove slowly out of the parking lot, Wen Jianing suddenly seemed to see a somewhat familiar person across the street. It was Zhu Zexin, standing under the streetlamp and looking in the direction of the banquet hall.

　　Wen Jianing froze, but then he was turned back to his attention by Lu Jinlang’s actions. Moist and alcoholic kisses lingered around his ears and neck, and the surrounding temperature was rising.

　　Wen Jianing closed the partitions in the front row. He knew that there was a good sound insulation effect, and Lu Yunan would not care about them, but he still reached out and patted Lu Jinlang on the back and said, “Let’s go back first.”

　　Lu Jinlang did not stop. He hugged Wen Jianing, and kept kissing and touching him.

　　Wen Jianing hugged him back, and did not refuse. He gently stroked his back with one hand, trying to calm him down.

　　Lu Jinlang said in his ear, “I’m a little excited.”

　　Wen Jianing smiled and said, “I know.”

　　After he said this, Lu Jinlang kissed the side of his neck twice, then buried his head on his shoulder, and gradually snoozed off.

　　Wen Jianing heard that his breathing became slow and even. He knew that Lu Jinlang was asleep, so he helped him to lie down on the seat with his head resting on his lap.

　　When they went back that night, Lu Jinlang was really drunk. He would usually remain a little sober even when he was drunk, but today he was perhaps too emotional and could not control himself at all.

　　Lu Yunan helped Wen Jianing put Lu Jinlang on the bed before leaving.

　　Wen Jianing helped him take off his shoes, clothes and pants, pulled the quilt to cover him, kissed his eyebrows, and said, “You are great, dear. Good night.”

　　Lu Jinlang slept until noon the next day.

　　Since Lu Jinlang got up and turned on his phone, his phone hadn’t stopped ringing. This was mostly a blessing from friends and relatives, and some well-connected reporters came over and wanted to do an interview.

　　In fact, there were countless other people who contacted Lu Jinlang’s agent to bring him in for filming, advertising, endorsements, and shows.

　　Lu Jinlang mostly refused. He read the entertainment news on the internet while drinking coffee, and then said to Wen Jianing, “Let’s go home for dinner in the afternoon.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Okay.” At this time, Lu Jinlang should have gone back to his family to share his joy and achievements with them.

　　After a while, Wen Jianing stood behind Lu Jinlang and read the news on the web page he was reading. He leaned on his back and put his arms on his shoulders, and said, “What does God Lu think?”

　　Lu Jinlang just smiled, reached out his hand and opened a topic that didn’t have too many people’s attention next to him. It was a topic to commemorate Wen Jianing.

　　It was held every year, just on the second day of the Academy Awards, because the date was too coincidental, it was easy for people to remember.

　　But gradually, fewer and fewer people were still paying attention to this topic, and fewer people still remembered Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Jianing looked at it silently, and said after a while, “Go and light a candle for me.”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled at his ridiculous remark, and asked, “Do you want to meet your mother in the past?”

　　Wen Jianing was slightly startled.

　　Lu Jinlang continued, “I think she will be happy to know that you still exist in this world.”

　　Wen Jianing sighed, “I don’t know, I always look forward to it and fear to face it.”

　　”There’s nothing to be afraid of,” Lu Jinlang held his hand, “I will accompany you.”

　　That night, the Lu family cooked a large table of dishes to celebrate Lu Jinlang winning the Best Director Award.

　　For Lu Jinfeng, compared to acting, he felt that directing was a more legitimate and respected profession. No matter how many Film Emperor awards Lu Jinlang had won in the past, in his eyes, it was not as valuable as the director’s award.

　　Lu Jinxin brought two bottles of wine back, saying it was from his treasure collection.

　　Lu Jinfeng sat at the table and said, “Everyone is happy today. Let’s all have a drink.”

　　Wen Jianing smiled and said, “You guys have a drink. I’m going to drive later. Yunan has asked for some leave to go home in the past two days.”

　　The old lady said quickly, “It’s okay. If you drink too much, you can sleep well here. The third child has a room upstairs.”

　　Wen Jianing looked at Lu Jinlang, and Lu Jinlang poured a glass of wine for him himself, and said, “It’s okay, let’s have a drink.”

　　Wen Jianing finally picked up the wine glass.

　　It was very lively at the Lu family that night. It was rare that the family gathered together, and Lu Jinfeng was in a good mood. Everyone was talking and laughing. They all sat at the table and chatted without leaving the table after eating.

　　After they ate, Lu Jinlang took Wen Jianing to his room on the second floor to rest.

　　This was not the first time Wen Jianing had entered his room. However, it was his first time to spend the night here.

　　The Lu family had lived in this house for a long time. It had been nearly 20 years since Lu Jinlang stayed in this room. He moved out after graduating from university and started working, but this room had been maintained for him.

　　Wen Jianing could even pull out one or two of Lu Jinlang’s middle school textbooks in the bookcase.

　　Wen Jianing couldn’t help laughing when he saw the neatly written words “Lu Jinlang” on the title page of the textbook.

　　”What are you laughing at?” Lu Jinlang said to him.

　　Wen Jianing shook his head and put the book back in the cabinet.

　　Lu Jinlang hugged him from behind and said, “Let’s sleep.”

　　Wen Jianing raised his hand to touch his face, and replied, “Okay.”

　　About two days later, Wen Jianing came back from outside and saw a script lying on the sofa. He picked it up and looked at the movie that Xie Ruoming had mentioned to him before. The movie was called “The Culprit”.

　　Wen Jianing had already discussed this matter with Wen Tinghuan. Wen Tinghuan said that she would go to Zheng Xin to discuss. They didn’t think there was a big problem with Xie Ruoming’s invitation. After all, Xie Ruoming was a big-name director in the circle, and cooperation with him was an opportunity.

　　Xie Ruoming’s assistant contacted Wen Tinghuan and said that they would send the script.

　　But he didn’t know when Wen Tinghuan will send the script. They obviously didn’t say that they would send the script over today.

　　Wen Jianing took out his mobile phone and was about to call Wen Tinghuan. Lu Jinlang opened the bathroom door and walked out to see him, and said, “That’s my script.”

　　”Your script?” Wen Jianing looked surprised.

　　Lu Jinlang smiled, “Are you so surprised? After Xie Ruoming mentioned his new movie to me, I felt very interested.”

　　Wen Jianing was still a little dazed, “Why didn’t he tell me?”

　　Lu Jinlang looked at him, still smiling, “He told me, so how about it? Are you interested in acting with me again?”

　　Wen Jianing smiled when he heard the words, he walked up to Lu Jinlang and stretched out a hand to him. After Lu Jinlang held his hand, he said, “It is a great honour, my male god.”

　　Wen Jianing went to see Wen Lin the next day.

　　He was in better spirits. He could lay on the bed and talk to Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Jianing asked him how he agreed to be a guest at Jiang Yongfei’s concert. Wen Lin said, “She invited me to go.”

　　”Haven’t thought of the reason?” Wen Jianing looked at him.

　　Wen Lin was silent for a moment, “I don’t want to think so much.”

　　Wen Jianing didn’t speak either, he didn’t know what to say.

　　After a while, Wen Lin said again, “It may not be what you think.”

　　Wen Jianing suddenly felt a little emotional. Lu Jinlang said that he was idealistic, but in his opinion, Wen Lin was probably the real idealist.

　　When the two were chatting, Wen Jianing never saw Li Rong. It was a young nurse who took care of Wen Lin here.

　　Wen Jianing asked Wen Lin’s parents, Wen Lin said that he didn’t tell them so that they wouldn’t worry. Originally, his parents were not from here. Once they knew the news of his injury, they would definitely rush over as soon as possible. He didn’t want to make it hard for them.

       “What about Li Rong?” Wen Jianing asked.

　　After a brief silence, Wen Lin said, “I don’t know what to say about him, I can only thank him for his concern. He and I are people from two worlds, and it is impossible to be together.”

　　Wen Jianing propped his chin with one hand, smiled when he heard the words, and said, “You are a person with only one goal in mind, and Li Rong really has no choice but to help you.”

　　”Don’t laugh,” Wen Lin said, “Actually, I’m very upset. I don’t like other people being too kind to me. It’s really uncomfortable to owe favours.”

　　Wen Jianing stood up and walked in front of him. He patted him on the top of his head, “I understand, but you have done nothing wrong, even if there is, half of the trouble is originally caused by Li Rong.”

　　Wen Lin looked at him quietly for a while, then turned away from him.

　　Wen Jianing still didn’t see Li Rong when he left Wen Lin. He thought that Li Rong might have something to deal with, probably about Jiang Yongfei.

　　Wen Jianing called Wen Tinghuan and then went to Lei Xing.

　　He met Zheng Xin in Lei Xing and asked him about Wen Lin’s injury, and whether they found out what was the cause.

　　Zheng Xin and Wen Jianing sat face-to-face in the office. He put aside the things in his hands and said to Wen Jianing, “It was an accident. The worker in charge of the lifting platform made a mistake. He has been fired, and the stage manager will be responsible for compensation.”

　　Wen Jianing asked, “Do you think it’s that simple?”

　　Zheng Xin put his hands on the table, “Who do you suspect?”

　　Wen Jianing didn’t speak.

　　Zheng Xin looked at him for a long time and said, “Do you suspect Zhu Zexin or Jiang Yongfei?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Both.”

　　Zheng Xin said, “There is no evidence, and it’s useless to make groundless accusations.”

　　Wen Jianing looked at him, “What if I go to find evidence?”

　　When Zheng Xin heard the words, he leaned back and went silent for a moment, and then said meaningfully, “Why bother? We are all in the same company and you want to make trouble like this? Moreover, if Lei Xing happens to have this kind of incident, isn’t it Mr. Lu that’ll suffer the most? “

　　Wen Jianing said, “I just want to know the truth, so I can tell Wen Lin to be more on guard in the future. Otherwise, he will foolishly join anyone who asks him to be a guest in the future and give them a chance to mess him up. What do you think I should do?”

       Zheng Xin was helpless, hesitated for a long time and said, “What do you think if I dismiss Zhu Zexin?”

　　Wen Jianing said at the end, “I understand.” He just wanted to test Zheng Xin’s bottom line. It seemed that Zheng Xin was also aware of this matter, and Jiang Yongfei and Zhu Zexin were connected.

　　Only when he returned home from the company that night, Lu Jinlang was cooking dinner in the kitchen and said to Wen Jianing, “About Wen Lin, do you want to investigate it?”

　　Wen Jianing stood at the door of the kitchen and asked, “Are you nervous?”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled, “What am I nervous about?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Bringing down Jiang Yongfei out will have a great impact on the company, right? Bai Shengzhe asked you to persuade me to forget it?”

　　Lu Jinlang turned his head to look at him, “You know it very well in your heart.”

　　Wen Jianing leaned his head on the kitchen door frame, “Just a little unwilling.”

　　Lu Jinlang sighed, “After all, this incident is Li Rong’s responsibility. Jiang Yongfei, a woman, is a little bit jealous, but she is indeed wronged.”

　　Wen Jianing asked, “The truth?”

　　Lu Jinlang shovelled the fried vegetables out of the pot and smiled, “The truth is that I, as the boss of Lei Xing, begged you to let Lei Xing off the hook.”

　　The cooked food was put on the table, and Lu Jinlang went to the room to change clothes.

　　Wen Jianing followed and pounced on him onto the bed from behind.

　　Lu Jinlang turned to face him, and asked, “We haven’t eaten yet, do you want to eat me?”

　　Wen Jianing smiled and kissed his lips, “Lu Jinlang, I like you so much.”

　　Lu Jinlang held his waist, smiled and said, “Is this going to be a Qiong Yao’s* drama?”

　　Wen Jianing leaned his head on his chest, “No, I’m serious, I didn’t know how it would feel to like someone.”

　　Lu Jinlang hugged him tightly, kissed him on the forehead, and then said, “As for Jiang Yongfei, I will make her apologize to Wen Lin, but Zhu Zexin doesn’t have to stay.”

　　”Make him legally liable,” Wen Jianing said.

　　Lu Jinlang did not respond, because this would inevitably make a big noise, and it would have a big impact on Lei Xing’s reputation. He still needed to weigh it down.

　　Wen Jianing raised his head and looked at him, “I have asked Ting jie to find the worker in charge of the lifting platform. Do you think money or threats are going to be more effective for him?”

　　Lu Jinlang scratched his hair and said, “Stand up.”

　　Wen Jianing sat up.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “You can do what you think is right, but I hope you can consider me and the company appropriately. Lei Xing is our Lei Xing.”

　　Wen Jianing looked at him, and finally smiled, “Okay.”

　　Two days later, Wen Tinghuan called Wen Jianing and said, “What did you say to Lu Jinlang? He asked Lu Yunan to pester me, he must go find someone with me.”

　　”I’ve said everything that should be said,” Wen Jianing said, “I have nothing to hide from him.”

　　Wen Tinghuan was very speechless, “I surrender. Does Lu Jinlang disagree with this matter? You guys are just tormenting me.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Thanks for your hard work.”

　　Lu Jinlang said that Wen Jianing should do what he thought was right, and Wen Jianing had to think more about it. Lei Xing was not owned by Lu Jinlang alone, and now he also has feelings for Lei Xing, and they all hoped to see Lei Xing gets better and better.

　　But no matter what, he has to get the evidence first so that whether it was dismissing Zhu Zexin or asking Jiang Yongfei to apologize to Wen Lin, it wouldn’t cause them to react fiercely.

　　Zhu Zexin was such a despicable villain. When Wu Dongqin left Lei Xing, Wen Jianing didn’t think he needed anything to guard against. Every line has its own rules. If you break the rules, you will be abandoned by it. But Zhu Zexin was a sinister villain who could even do things that hurt people, and it couldn’t be measured by normal people’s common sense.

　　To not call the police, was what Lu Jinlang hoped for.

　　Then if the police were not called, at least Zhu Zexin should be kept out of this business forever.

　　Before Wen Jianing made progress, Li Rong officially broke up with Jiang Yongfei.

　　This was not a happy thing for Wen Jianing, nor it was for Wen Lin. Although Wen Jianing was angry at Jiang Yongfei’s behaviour, he didn’t want Li Rong to leave Jiang Yongfei and pursue Wen Lin wholeheartedly. He felt that Wen Lin might not last long.

　　Zhu Zexin was fired by Lei Xing.

　　Zheng Xin handled this matter, and neither Lu Jinlang nor Bai Shengzhe came forward, let alone Wen Jianing.

　　However, Wen Jianing still felt that it was somewhat cheaper for him. He inquired about Zhu Zexin’s whereabouts, hoping to completely cut off his path of development in this industry.

　　Lu Jinlang knew his plan but did not stop him and just told him to be careful of Zhu Zexin.

　　Wen Jianing said he understood.

　　Jiang Yongfei’s apology when she went to Wen Lin’s bed was somewhat formal. She didn’t really apologize, but she said something that she wanted to tell Wen Lin alone.

　　Li Rong was originally present at the time.

　　Wen Lin hesitated and said to Li Rong, “Can you go out? I’ll have a few words with Yongfei jie alone.”

　　When everyone had gone out, no one knew what Jiang Yong Fei and Wen Lin had said inside. After Jiang Yongfei left, Li Rong went in and asked Wen Lin what they had said. Wen Lin just shook his head and refused to say anything.

　　The new year was another year for the new Academy Awards ceremony.

　　Wen Lin’s leg injury had not healed yet, and he could actually walk, but everyone was worried that his bones would heal in a dislocation, so they were determined not to let him walk on the ground.

　　And this year Wen Lin was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award.

　　Compared to Wen Lin’s Best Newcomer Award nomination, Lu Jinlang’s nomination for the Best Director Award obviously carried more weight, and it had attracted more public attention.

　　At that time, some media came out and said, did they praise Lu Jinlang too much?

　　However, the award candidates decided by the organizing committee could now only be questioned but couldn’t be changed.

　　At the same time, Wen Jianing, who participated in this movie, was nominated for Best Actor, and Jian Jun was also nominated for Best Newcomer.

　　Before the event, a TV station interviewed Wen Jianing and asked him what he thought.

　　He told reporters, “I am very optimistic about Lu Jinlang and Wen Lin, and of course, Jian Jun has a high chance also.”

　　The reporter asked him, “Are you not optimistic about yourself?”

　　Wen Jianing smiled, and said, “I always think the worst.”

　　At worst, Wen Jianing had acted in so many plays. He had a good understanding of his performance and also the taste of the judges of the Academy Awards. He felt that the fact he was nominated was already quite an affirmation, but probably he would not win it for his part.

　　As for Lu Jinlang, he had observed for so long but he hadn’t figured out whether this director’s award will be his. He was really uncertain.

　　He said that he was optimistic but it was nothing more than an expectation.

　　At the awards ceremony that year, Wen Jianing’s seat was a little closer to the front, but there was still a distance from Lu Jinlang. Wen Jianing sat two rows behind him by the corridor.

　　Wen Lin did not sit next to him, because his legs were not completely healed, so the organizing committee arranged for him a more convenient position.

　　His leg injury was said to be caused by an accident, but only a few people knew the cause.

　　The Newcomer Award was in the front order.

　　When the award-presenting MC announced Wen Lin’s name, the camera suddenly zoomed in on his face sitting in the corner of the back row. He was still a little confused and looked blank.

　　It was Tang Shao beside him who gave him a nudge before he came back to his senses amidst the applause from the entire audience.

　　Wen Lin wanted to stand up, but Tang Shao stopped him, and the organizing committee directly arranged for two security guards to lift his wheelchair onto the stage.

　　Wen Lin blushed immediately and felt extremely ashamed. He raised his head in embarrassment.

　　He was carried to the stage in a wheelchair. The guest handed the trophy to his hand. He looked at the little golden man and was unexpectedly calm. He was probably the calmest of all the winners tonight. He thanked the MC who deliberately turned the microphone down for him, and then said, “Actually, I was very surprised to receive this award today. There are many people who I need to thank. My relatives, my parents, and my teacher, but the one person I want to thank today is a good friend of mine. Since you all realized it, he has inspired me to help me all the way, and there is something to say; It may be a little cheesy, but he deserves half of this trophy. Thank you Ke Xinhang, my friend, I love you.”

　　He said the last three words with a smile, which aroused enthusiastic applause from the audience, and some people were whistling.

　　The camera is aimed at Wen Jianing, he is also smiling, and blows a kiss, saying, “I love you too.” The microphone cannot pick up the voice, but the shape of his mouth is clearly visible.

　　Wen Lin’s thank you speech was very brief. He was really embarrassed to let the security guard carry him down, and instead pushed the wheelchair down from the backstage by himself.

　　And the next awards continued one by one.

　　Until the Best Director Award, the award-presenting guest joked that today was probably the best director who will be the most anticipated by the audience because the Film Emperor Lu had crossed the border to snatch the director’s jobs.

　　The camera was aimed at Lu Jinlang. He had been smiling gently and gracefully.

　　But Wen Jianing knew he was nervous, and he was looking forward to it.

　　Before leaving for the Academy Awards ceremony today, Wen Jianing personally helped Lu Jinlang tie a bow tie.

　　”Are you nervous?” Wen Jianing asked him at that time.

　　He nodded, although his expression was as calm as ever.

　　Wen Jianing said, “I am not nervous, I believe you.”

　　Lu Jinlang raised his hand to pinch his chin, and gently rubbed the corner of his lips with his thumb. “Actually, it shouldn’t really be taken too seriously, but sometimes people just need the approval of others.”

　　Wen Jianing nodded, “I can understand it completely.”

　　”Jianing,” Lu Jinlang said, “I look forward to the day when we can return to that fair starting point again and wait for the results of the competition to be announced.”

　　Wen Jianing said “Okay,” and then kissed Lu Jinlang’s lips passionately.

　　Now in the award hall, when he heard the MC shouting out Lu Jinlang’s name, Wen Jianing loosened his hand, and he realized that his hand was trembling slightly. He was probably even more nervous than Lu Jinlang.

　　Lu Jinlang stood up, smiled and shook hands with the people around him and nodded in thanks, then walked towards the stage.

　　A row away from his row of seats, Wen Jianing was sitting next to the passage.

　　Lu Jinlang raised his head and looked right up at him.

　　Wen Jianing was a little nervous, and then he saw Lu Jinlang walking toward him.

　　This was not obtrusive, because he was the leading actor in Lu Jinlang’s play, and he should share the joy of winning with him.

　　Wen Jianing stood up and hugged him, and heard Lu Jinlang say in his ear, “I love you.”

　　Wen Jianing’s eyes were a little teary at that moment, and he replied, “I love you too.”

　　Lu Jinlang appeared in a total of two publicity programs, and never appeared again after that. However, Wen Jianing was far less relaxed. It should be said that he was the main force in the promotion of the whole movie because Jian Jun’s current reputation was far less than his.

　　He had recorded several TV station’s varieties shows in succession. Wen Jianing felt that during this period of intensive bombing, the audience would probably be bored watching him.

　　Immediately following this wave of publicity, the movie was released.

　　In fact, on the content matter alone, this movie was not a popular topic, but the premiere achieved very good box office results. Perhaps it had something to do with Wen Jianing, Lu Jinlang’s own box office appeal and massive publicity during this period.

　　And the biggest selling point of this movie was not “the first film starring Ke Xinhang”, but it was “the first film directed by Lu Jinlang”. Regardless of whether it was the internet or the media, the movie reviews for this movie were mainly directed at the performance of the director Lu Jinlang, followed by the performance of the two leading roles of Wen Jianing and Jian Jun.

　　Wen Jianing’s acting skills had already been recognised in the last movie. No matter how he performed in this movie, it was hard to let people have that sense of amazement at first sight. The media and the internet generally was discussing Lu Jinlang and Jian Jun. They generally gave high praise to both, especially Lu Jinlang.

　　Lu Jinlang was undoubtedly talented, even in Wen Jianing’s view, this could be called a talent. He had unique ideas about acting, which made it impossible for his directors to fully control him much of the time, so when he was directing himself, he could put all those amazing ideas into practice. And Wen Jianing and Jian Jun happened to be two outstanding actors Lu Jinlang handpicked who could express his ideas smoothly.

　　This resulted in an excellent production with delicate emotions and a long emotional aftertaste. Many people chose to take their children or their parents to watch it.

　　Some movie critics said: This was a film full of warmth, allowing young people to calm down in the impetuous urban life, and couldn’t help but want to pursue some of the simplest feelings.

　　Lu Jinlang’s movie was released almost at the same time as the small budget movie Wen Lin participated in. This movie was far from receiving as much attention as ‘Bitter Summer’, and it had even been released for about a week.

　　But even so, if you search carefully, you could still see some related news on the internet.

　　Someone posted a Weibo saying that he bought a ticket for a movie he hadn’t heard much about because of the release timing. After he saw it, he was amazed by the acting skills of one of the young people after he went in to see it “I got goosebumps all over!” He attached a promotional photo found on the internet, which was a side photo of Wen Lin hanging with his hands tied up.

　　Of course, this news did not cause much impact.

　　Wen Jianing met with Wen Lin during this time. When talking about the movie, Wen Lin had an indifferent attitude. He didn’t expect much of himself, so naturally, he would not be disappointed.

　　”Bitter Summer” had a good reputation at the box office. Lei Xing made a fortune as an investor, and the Lu Jinlang brothers certainly made a fortune.

　　The most excited person in the Lu family was the old lady Lu. As soon as the movie was released, she insisted that the whole family accompany her to watch it.

　　Lu Jinxin said, “I’m not going, isn’t it silly? What kind of large family goes to the cinema together?”

　　As a result, he was chased and beaten by the old lady.

　　In the end, Kang Huanxian and Lu Yanyue accompanied her to see it. After watching, the old lady wiped away her tears for a long time, and when she saw Wen Jianing again, she looked at him with an expression of love, as if she wanted to hold him in her arms and kiss him.

　　Lu Yanyue bit into her lollipop and said to Lu Jinlang, “Third uncle, if you are going to break up with Xinhang someday, give him to me.”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “You wish.”

　　That night, the Lu family had dinner together.

　　Lu Yanyue sat next to Wen Jianing and kept asking him, “Do you have any brothers? Introduce one to me.”

　　Wen Jianing thought for a while and said, “I have an older brother.” But thinking of Ke Xinfan’s appearance, he said to Lu Yanyue, “He is not suitable for you.”

　　”Married?” Lu Yanyue asked.

　　Wen Jianing shook his head.

　　Lu Yanyue said, “Then it doesn’t matter, let’s decide if he’s suitable or not after we meet then.”

　　Lu Jinfeng was very displeased. He placed his chopsticks down again, “Don’t talk nonsense, it’s time for you to study hard now.”

　　Lu Yanyue c0cked her mouth, “Dad, you’re really old-fashioned.”

　　The family talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was peaceful.

　　After dinner, Kang Huanxian sat on the sofa and peeled the fruit. She made sure to let them eat the fruit before going back.

　　Wen Jianing was chatting with the old lady when the mobile phone in the pocket of his clothes suddenly rang. He answered the phone and found that Wen Tinghuan was calling.

　　Wen Tinghuan’s tone was a bit hurried, and as soon as she connected, she said, “Something happened to Wen Lin.”

　　”Huh?” Wen Jianing was stunned, “What’s the matter?”

　　Wen Tinghuan said, “He was a guest performer for Jiang Yongfei’s concert. He fell off the stage during the rehearsal and is now sent to the hospital.”

　　Wen Jianing suddenly stood up from the sofa.

　　”What happened?” Lu Jinlang looked at him.

　　Wen Jianing said to Lu Jinlang, “Something happened to Wen Lin.”

　　Lu Jinlang drove the car and went to the hospital with Wen Jianing. On the phone, Wen Tinghuan only said that Wen Lin seemed to have injured his leg, but Wen Tinghuan didn’t know how serious it was because she was not there either.

　　In the car, Wen Jianing called Tang Shao, Wen Lin’s new assistant, and asked him what was going on.

　　Tang Shao was obviously also nervous, saying that he hadn’t paid attention for a while, and Wen Lin had fallen off when he heard the commotion on the stage.

　　”Don’t be so nervous,” Lu Jinlang glanced at him as he drove the car.

　　Wen Jianing held the phone in his hand and looked very upset. He said to Lu Jinlang, “I’m really afraid that he has been injured in some way and he won’t be able to go on stage anymore.”

　　Lu Jinlang comforted him, “It should not be that serious.”

　　Wen Jianing sighed suddenly, and he said, “Whenever I look at Wen Lin, I always feel like I see the real Ke Xinhang.”

　　Lu Jinlang was silent for a moment, and said, “You haven’t seen the real Ke Xinhang, haven’t you?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “But I can imagine, I think he should be like Wen Lin, with his own ideals, his own persistence, and he won’t compromise easily.”

　　Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand and gently touched the top of his head.

　　When they arrived at the hospital, they saw Tang Shao and Wen Jianing realized that Wen Lin had broken a leg and had an open fracture on his left calf. He was now undergoing surgery to restore the dislocated joint and to set it in place.

　　Although he was seriously injured, there was no life-threatening danger, and he heard from the doctor that as long as the function was restored, there would be no disability in the future, and it would have little effect on the function and appearance.

　　Wen Jianing was relieved.

　　However, they had just arrived, but only a moment later, Wen Jianing realized that Li Rong had also arrived.

　　The hospital Wen Lin was sent to was an expensive and low-key private hospital in the city. The news of his injury was not kept secret, and it was spread by the media and the internet immediately, but no one knew which hospital he went to, and the environment here was also very clean.

　　When they saw Li Rong, Wen Jianing asked Tang Shao, “Who notified him?”

　　Tang Shao was silent, seeming a little embarrassed.

　　Wen Jianing looked at him, “Did you take money from Li Rong?”

　　Tang Shao twitched and defended himself, “Mr. Li only said that if something happens to Wen Lin, he was to be notified as soon as possible. I have not betrayed Wen Lin’s privacy.”

　　Lu Jinlang patted Wen Jianing on the shoulder, and whispered, “Don’t be like this.”

　　At this time, Li Rong had already approached, his tone was a little urgent, and he asked Tang Shao, “How is Wen Lin?”

　　Tang Shao carefully explained Wen Lin’s situation again.

　　Now Wen Lin was still in the operating room to deal with the fracture in his leg. They couldn’t go in and see, nor could they do other things.

　　Wen Jianing asked Tang Shao, “What was going on at that time?”

　　Tang Shao was a little nervous and seemed to be afraid that Wen Jianing and Li Rong would blame him for not taking care of Wen Lin. He said, “I just left for a while, I really didn’t expect something to happen.”

　　Li Rong asked in a deep voice, “How can he fall off the stage?”

　　Tang Shao said, “It’s the elevator platform on the stage. I don’t know why it suddenly descended. He may be too immersed in singing during rehearsal, and he didn’t notice that his foothold was empty.”

　　Wen Jianing frowned and suddenly said to Li Rong, “You might as well ask him why Wen Lin went to Jiang Yongfei’s concert rehearsal. This may be closer to the truth.”

　　Li Rong’s eyes sharpened at his words.

　　Lu Jinlang put a hand on Wen Jianing’s shoulder, and whispered, “Don’t make assumptions.” Then he asked, “Where are the person in charge of the stage and the concert? Why does no one come to the hospital?”

　　Tang Shao said, “There is someone, the person in charge of the stage, who was here just now…”

　　He stopped in the middle of speaking because he saw Jiang Yongfei leading a group of people, just coming out of the elevator and walking in this direction.

　　Wen Jianing turned his head and looked over, and at a glance noticed Zhu Zexin who was following Jiang Yongfei.

　　Jiang Yongfei was rehearsing today, with heavy makeup on her face, a silver dress from the concert, and high heels that are at least ten centimetres high. She hurriedly walked over here. She also saw Li Rong from a distance, but she said nothing, and just asked, “Is Wen Lin all right?”

　　No one answered her.

　　Behind Jiang Yongfei was the person in charge of the stage of this concert. He saw Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang both here, knowing that Lu Jinlang was the big boss of Lei Xing, he quickly said, “We have started investigating who is responsible for the accident. I will definitely give you an explanation.”

　　Wen Jianing looked at Zhu Zexin, who stood in place with an expressionless face.

　　Li Rong turned to Lu Jinlang, “Wen Lin is a member of your company, what do you want to say?”

　　Lu Jinlang took out his mobile phone to check it out, and said, “Manager Bai and Zheng Xin are both coming over soon, it would be more appropriate to leave this matter to them.”

　　Li Rong nodded when he heard the words, and then said, “Well, I have something to say.” He asked Jiang Yongfei, “Why did you invite Wen Lin to be your guest at the concert?”

　　Jiang Yongfei looked at him with some questions. After a while, her face changed, and she sullenly said, “What do you mean? Do you think I hurt him?”

　　Of course Li Rong wouldn’t say what he meant by it, but by asking this, it was clear that he did not trust Jiang Yongfei.

　　Compared with Jiang Yongfei, Wen Jianing was more suspicious of Zhu Zexin.

　　Zhu Zexin was now following Jiang Yongfei, it seemed that he was following a bigger artist to make him more prosperous. In fact, his power was basically hollowed out. Unlike Wen Tinghuan who was already able to directly take charge of Wen Jianing and Jian Jun’s work in many places, he stayed with Jiang Yongfei and now could only be regarded as a small assistant.

　　Who was to blame? Wen Jianing said that of course he was to blame. However, he didn’t know whether Zhu Zexin was resenting Wen Jianing or Wen Lin.

　　And given the relationship between Jiang Yongfei and Wen Lin, there was no reason for her to invite Wen Lin to be her concert guest.

　　Jiang Yongfei looked at Li Rong aggrievedly, and soon tears welled up in her eyes, looking like they were about to fall out.

　　Wen Jianing said suddenly, “Call the police, I want to know if someone is up to no good or not.”

　　However, as soon as he said that, Bai Shengzhe and Zheng Xin both approached hurriedly.

　　When they heard Wen Jianing say he wanted to call the police, Zheng Xin stopped him and said to him in private, “Xinhang, don’t interfere in this matter, I’ll take care of it.”

　　Wen Jianing glanced at Zhu Zexin directly and said, “I don’t believe your students.”

　　Zheng Xin was a little helpless, and said in a low voice, “Tinghuan is also my student, and I am Wen Lin’s agent. Do you think I will cause Wen Lin to be injured in vain and the company suffer such a big loss?”

　　Wen Jianing did not respond to him.

　　Zheng Xin could only turn to Lu Jinlang for help, hoping that Lu Jinlang could persuade Wen Jianing not to come forward to argue with Jiang Yongfei.

　　Lu Jinlang walked to Wen Jianing, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered in his ear, “Don’t be so impulsive and let your emotion affect your judgement at your age.”

　　Wen Jianing glanced at him.

　　At this time, Wen Lin’s operation was over.

　　Wen Jianing agreed to Lu Jinlang and left the negotiation to Zheng Xin and Bai Shengzhe. He then went to the ward with Lu Jinlang to Wen Lin’s bed.

　　Just after the operation, Wen Lin looked very weak and his entire face was pale.

　　Wen Jianing couldn’t bear to ask him what happened, so he could only ask softly, “Are you okay? Is your body uncomfortable?”

　　Wen Lin was still breathing oxygen mask and barely shook his head.

　　Wen Jianing held his hand.

　　Wen Lin’s pale lips curled slightly.

　　After a while, Li Rong entered the ward.

　　Wen Lin had closed his eyes and went to sleep at that time.

　　Li Rong said softly to Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang, “I will stay and take care of him.”

　　Wen Jianing looked at Li Rong, but did not speak.

　　Li Rong laughed and said to Lu Jinlang, “Look at your baby, what’s with that look?”

　　Lu Jinlang patted Wen Jianing on the shoulder, “Let’s go back first, and come and see him tomorrow.”

　　It was impossible for so many people to stay with Wen Lin overnight, and under this circumstance, Li Rong had no way to do anything to Wen Lin.

　　Although he was not happy that Li Rong stayed, Wen Jianing chose to go home with Lu Jinlang.

　　When he took the elevator downstairs, Wen Jianing said, “You know what Li Rong thinks about Wen Lin.”

　　Lu Jinlang leaned back against the elevator wall, put his arms on his chest, and said to him, “I know, so what?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Then you should know that I am not an innocent kid in my early twenties. I know what it means to be seen by Li Rong.”

　　”What does it mean?” Lu Jinlang asked him, “What do you think it means to be seen by me?”

　　Wen Jianing was taken aback when he heard this question, and then said, “This is different.”

　　The elevator reached the underground parking lot. Lu Jinlang took the lead and walked out, followed by Wen Jianing.

　　Until he got into the car, Lu Jinlang stretched out his hands and clasped his head to look at him, and said, “Li Rong’s thoughts now may be the same as my thoughts back then.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “But Wen Lin is not the same as me back then.”

　　Lu Jinlang nodded, “Yes, he is different from you, so he should know how to refuse. Li Rong is not a pervert, he will not r4p3 your friends. If their relationship develops, it is their own business. Don’t intervene too much.”

　　Wen Jianing was anxious, “But if they are together, Wen Lin will definitely be hurt in the future.”

　　Lu Jinlang said to him, “That’s Wen Lin’s own choice. Although he is a young man in his early twenties and still needs guidance in your opinion, Li Rong was someone he wouldn’t fail to know. If he can’t understand his feelings properly, he can only be hurt and no one can help him.”

　　Wen Jianing did not speak, turned his head and looked forward, he looked a little restless.

　　Lu Jinlang suddenly laughed.

　　Wen Jianing asked him, “What are you laughing at?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “You said you are not an innocent kid in your early twenties, but sometimes your way of thinking is not like a mature man in your thirties.”

　　Wen Jianing raised his hand and ruffled his hair.

　　Lu Jinlang continued, “I remember the first time I was filming with you…”

　　Wen Jianing was taken aback. He knew that when Lu Jinlang was talking about the filming of ‘Duel’. It was already a very long memory for him, and it was as long as what happened in the previous life.

　　”At that time, I thought you were a little fake,” Lu Jinlang continued, “Your attitude towards the cleaning old lady is very gentle, and there is no pretension at all. Sometimes I wonder if you are tired or not for doing all that.”

　　Wen Jianing laughed helplessly after hearing this.

　　Lu Jinlang gently touched his neck with his hand, “But now I know, you are just a bit idealistic, not like people in this circle should be.”

　　Wen Jianing said softly, “There is nothing that the people in the circle should be. I’m just here to act, and nothing more.”

　　That night, Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang were still in the same tent. They went down the mountain in the direction of the current this afternoon. If they estimate well, they should be able to go out from this jungle mountain tomorrow.

　　He was lying side by side with Lu Jinlang in the tent, and Wen Jianing turned his back to him.

　　Lu Jinlang was lying flat on his back, seemed to move his arm carelessly, and touched Wen Jianing’s back.

　　After a while, Wen Jianing crawled out of the sleeping bag.

　　”Where are you going?” Lu Jinlang asked.

　　Wen Jianing said, “I’m going to the toilet.”

　　Lu Jinlang put one hand under his head, and watching that Wen Jianing had stood up, he said, “I’ll go with you.”

　　He came out of the tent and walked towards the woods next to him, out of the range of the camera.

　　Lu Jinlang grabbed Wen Jianing’s arm and said, “Don’t go too far, watch out for the wild animals.”

　　Wen Jianing stopped, turned around, put his arms around Lu Jinlang’s shoulder and said, “Your luck’s not bad today, huh?”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled upon hearing this, “You think so?”

　　Wen Jianing did not speak. He was somewhat upset when he saw Zhao Qin holding Lu Jinlang like that, but there was nothing to be angry about. First, Lu Jinlang was not interested in her, and secondly, she was also frightened.

　　Lu Jinlang reached out and touched his face, and said, “You know I like men.” He was not the same as Wen Jianing. He had not been interested in women since his adolescence.

       “Can’t get it hard,” Lu Jinlang whispered in Wen Jianing’s ear.

　　Wen Jianing smiled, put his head on Lu Jinlang’s shoulder, and sighed heavily.

　　”Tired?” Lu Jinlang asked him.

　　Wen Jianing said, “A bit, but it’s quite interesting. I am afraid it will be difficult to have these experiences in the future.”

　　Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand and patted his back lightly, “It’s okay, we’re probably going down the mountain tomorrow, and we can go back the day after tomorrow.”

　　Wen Jianing nodded, and said after a while, “With so many people today, I am afraid that photos and videos of Zhao Qin’s incident will be posted on the Internet.”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “I will talk to Zhao Qin about whether or not these shots should be leaked out. She will talk to the program team and the TV station by herself, and I could help if she needs my help.”

　　Wen Jianing looked up at him, “Do you think she will voluntarily leak it out?”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled, “If I were her, maybe I would. As for what she thinks, I don’t know.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “You don’t mind?”

　　Lu Jinlang said in his ear, “Movie promotion, you have been filming for so many years. It’s not like you wouldn’t understand it.”

　　Wen Jianing understood what Lu Jinlang meant, sighed again, and said, “I’m lucky.”

　　Lu Jinlang touched his head and kissed the top of his head.

　　At this time, both of them heard footsteps coming in their direction at the same time.

　　Wen Jianing immediately released Lu Jinlang, took a step back, and then walked in the direction of the sound. He had a flashlight in his hand that he turned off when he was talking to Lu Jinlang just now. At this time, he turned on the flashlight again and aimed at the person coming.

　　The people who came over also had flashlights in their hands, and they all saw each other.

　　When he saw that the person here was Jian Jun, Wen Jianing relaxed slightly, and asks, “Going to pee?”

　　Jian Jun nodded and was about to speak when he noticed that there was another person behind Wen Jianing. He raised the flashlight and was taken aback when he saw Lu Jinlang.

　　Wen Jianing said, “We should go back.”

　　He didn’t say what he was doing, probably by default, they all just came out to pee.

　　It’s not easy for Jian Jun to ask. When passing by Lu Jinlang, he greeted, “Director Lu.”

　　Lu Jinlang nodded to him.

　　Jian Jun couldn’t help turning his head to look at the back of the two leaving. He saw Lu Jinlang step forward and put his arm around Wen Jianing’s waist. Although he had guessed it a long time ago, Jian Jun suddenly felt an unexplainable melancholy at this time. He sighed and continued to walk towards the depths of the woods.

　　They woke up the next morning and continued down the mountain along the road by the river. As expected, it went smoothly and they found traces of people walking and surviving.

　　Wen Jianing realized what it was like to be exhausted. Although it was only three days, he felt that this experience would not be forgotten for a lifetime.

　　Lu Jinlang was also a little out of step, and the only one who was still in high spirits was Matthew.

　　He saw that there was a road from a distance, and immediately ran off the hillside, then stood in the middle of the road and started stopping the car.

　　They finally stopped a small truck. It was late at the time and there were almost no other cars passing by. They crowded into the same car and were sent to the nearest village.

       Although it was a remote mountain village, there were still young people who recognized Lu Jinlang, and a young girl even recognized Wen Jianing.

　　It was not easy to find a place to stay, and it took them a long time to finally settled down. When they finally settled in, it was completely dark.

　　The program team then borrowed a kitchen from a family and paid for some vegetables and pork, and the four guests would cook a meal for Matthew to show their appreciation for his help over the past few days.

　　The kitchen had a wood-burning cooker.

　　Among the four guests, only Lu Jinlang could cook, and even Zhao Qin did not.

　　So several people divided their work among themselves, washing vegetables, cutting meat, and burning fire. Lu Jinlang was in charge of the kitchen himself.

　　The cameraman was taking pictures of Lu Jinlang’s cooking, and he suddenly sighed, “So cool.”

　　Lu Jinlang turned his head to look at the camera and smiled.

       The cameraman was a man in his early thirties, and then he said, “Your wife must be very happy in the future.”

　　Lu Jinlang was still smiling and did not speak.

　　After dinner was made, everyone had a lively meal together and drank some beer.

　　Tonight was the last filming. The shooting would be over until they go to bed. Naturally, a car would come to pick them up and they would return to the city tomorrow morning.

　　The rooms for lodging were limited, and the crew still found an open space to set up a tent.

　　In the end, Lu Jinlang did not have to share a bed with Wen Jiaying.

　　As he sat on the bed, Wen Jianing said goodnight to the camera, then turned off the light in the room and lay on the bed.

　　The cameraman turned off the camera and finished shooting.

　　Wen Jianing stood up again and shook hands with him, and said, “It’s been hard these few days.”

　　The cameraman waved his hand, took the camera out of his room, and went to sleep in the tent outside.

　　Wen Jianing lay down and felt the darkness and silence of the night inside the mountain village. His body was exhausted to the extreme. Now the environment was pretty good, and he almost fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

　　However, after falling asleep for only a few minutes, someone knocked on his door from outside.

　　Wen Jianing opened his eyes in a daze, and heard Zhao Qin asking outside, “Can I come in?”

　　Before he could answer, Zhao Qin pushed the door directly in. These days, he had become accustomed to sleeping outdoors, and with the film crew outside the courtyard, he didn’t even remember to lock the door just now.

　　There was no light in the room, Zhao Qin went directly to the bed and sat down, and said, “Director Lu, I can’t sleep, can we have a chat?”

　　Wen Jianing was taken aback and remembered that after eating just now, he temporarily decided to change rooms with Lu Jinlang. Zhao Qin and the others probably didn’t know. Zhao Qin was now surprisingly mistaking him for Lu Jinlang.

　　Zhao Qin didn’t get a response, and said to himself, “Director Lu, what did you say I should do about the incident yesterday?”

　　Wen Jianing said at this moment, “You seem to have gone to the wrong room.”

　　Zhao Qin stood up suddenly in shock, raised his voice and said, “Who are you?”

　　”Shh—” Wen Jianing whispered, “You should keep your voice down, and don’t let the TV station people hear it.”

　　Zhao Qin stammered and said, “Xinhang ge…?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Well, you walked to the wrong room. I think that Director Lu is already asleep at this time, so go back to sleep.”

　　Zhao Qin heard the words and quickly said, “Oh, sorry, I went to the wrong room. We had better rest early.” After that, she hurriedly walked out of the room and closed the door.

　　Wen Jianing waited until she left and remained sitting on the bed, and wondered if Zhao Qin would go back to the room where Lu Jinlang was staying? Should he go and see? But after he thought about it, even if Zhao Qin touched Lu Jinlang on the bed, Lu Jinlang couldn’t get it up. He worried too much, and he should go to bed earlier. Lu Jinlang was an adult, there was nothing to be scared of, presumably, Matthew and Jian Jun would not be interested in touching him in bed.

　　The three days of shooting ended.

　　After returning home, Wen Jianing rested at home for nearly a week before feeling fully recovered.

　　The show hadn’t even aired yet, but it had already become a hit on the internet because of the photo of Zhao Qin that had gone viral.

　　Zhao Qin and the name of the show were on the hot search list for a while.

　　When Zhao Qin was mentioned, it was inevitable to mention that she was acting in a movie directed by Lu Jinlang. For a while, many people on the internet berated the hype, and no one knew whether it was for Zhao Qin or a movie, but no matter whether the photos came out for hype or not, they achieved the desired effect.

　　Wen Jianing asked Lu Jinlang, “You let Zhao Qin leak the photos?”

　　Lu Jinlang shook his head, “I didn’t say anything.”

　　At that time, two people sat on the sofa and watched the evening news.

　　Wen Jianing propped his head with one hand, “Did Zhao Qin talk to you that night?”

　　”Which night?” Lu Jinlang asked him.

　　Wen Jianing didn’t speak and glanced towards the middle of Lu Jinlang’s legs and just smiled.

　　Later, they appeared on a talk show. This time Lu Jinlang only took Wen Jianing and Jian Jun. It was a serious talk show with a serious atmosphere.

　　Although Wen Jianing and Jian Jun were to accompany him, the host focused his main attention on Lu Jinlang, with questions one after another.

　　When the question comes to private affairs, the host asked him, “How is your relationship now?”

　　Lu Jinlang was silent and shook his head. In fact, he could have chosen to half-hide it, such as telling the other party that he had a stable love interest but did not intend to disclose it. But he denied it because he knew that once he admitted it, it would arouse the curiosity of the media. He was afraid that he would be surrounded and intercepted, and finally, expose the relationship between him and Wen Jianing.

　　The host asked again, “What kind of girl do you like?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “There is no preference. Because when you finally fell in love, you might find that it might be someone you thought in the past that you would never have a relationship with.”

　　The host smiled, “It’s a bit ambiguous.”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled and told the host, “Just don’t block your way. You can’t ever be sure who you will fall in love with.”

　　When he said this, Wen Jianing, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, also smiled.

　　When the host asked him later, he said, “I agree with Director Lu on this.”

It’s just a simple survival in the wilderness… like Bear Grylls kind

　　Later, Wen Jianing and Jian Jun came out of the woods with some dry branches, and Matthew set up a fire by himself and set it on fire.

　　They boiled a little hot water in the small pot they brought and ate the biscuits they brought with them for dinner.

　　Matthew sat by the fire and told them what they could and could not eat if they had not brought food with them.

　　Wen Jianing asked jokingly, “Do you really can eat insects?”

　　Matthew said, “Of course, it is a high-protein food, which can provide you with the calories you need. But not all insects can be eaten.”

　　He demonstrated that he made a trap not far from the camp where they slept to see if he could catch any critters at night.

　　”Will there be beasts?” Zhao Qin asked, she felt cold and held her shoulders close to the fire.

　　Matthew said, “It’s hard to tell, but there are too many people here, so it’s relatively safe.”

　　Of course, the program group didn’t want to see any beasts appear. They didn’t want to risk such a big cost for the ratings. They brought some tools and snake repellent powder with them and arranged them around the camp.

　　Matthew had been very generous to convey to them the essentials of survival in the wild, some of the more professional terms of plants and animals, Wen Jianing actually didn’t quite understand it, but Lu Jinlang listened very seriously, and from time to time he spoke a few words to him in English.

　　When he saw that it was almost time, Matthew stood up and said it was time to rest.

　　Three tents were present, the single one was of course reserved for Zhao Qin, and it was built in the middle of the two two-person tents. There were four men left, two of whom live in one room.

　　For Wen Jianing, it was not a big problem who stayed with him, because in this environment, it was impossible to sleep with their clothes and pants off.

　　But Matthew glanced at the three of them, and casually said to Jian Jun who was closer to him, “Why don’t you sleep with me?”

　　Jian Jun raised his head to look at him and nodded without comment.

　　Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang looked at each other.

　　Living in a tent with Lu Jinlang was perfect for Wen Jianing. But there were also cameras in the tent, which made him feel a little difficult because they couldn’t be too tacit and casual, and they couldn’t look too strange in front of the camera.

　　Two people living together had to pretend to be ordinary friends. Wen Jianing felt that this unscripted play was more difficult than any movie.

　　Wen Jianing asked Lu Jinlang, “Director Lu, are you going to rest?”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled slightly, got up and patted the grass off his body, and walked towards the tent.

　　They went into the tent to rest, and the cameraman who was shooting should also stop working and go back to rest.

　　Wen Jianing followed to the tent and saw Lu Jinlang packing two sleeping bags inside. He stood there for a while, then turned around and left.

　　Lu Jinlang asked, “Where are you going?”

　　Wen Jianing whispered, “To pee.”

　　Lu Jinlang couldn’t accompany him, so he could only simply say, “Be careful.”

　　Wen Jianing came back after a while.

　　Although the tent was a two-person tent, the sleeping bags were all single. He and Lu Jinlang slept side by side, got into their own sleeping bags, and maintained a short distance between them.

　　”Is it cold?” Lu Jinlang asked.

　　Wen Jianing said, “It’s okay.” After a while, he said, “Perhaps it’ll be better if I sleep.”

　　He was very tired, but he couldn’t sleep for a while in this environment.

　　Wen Jianing whispered, “Director Lu, are you asleep?”

　　Lu Jinlang was silent for a moment, and replied, “No.”

　　Wen Jianing turned over. There were many topics to talk about if he and Lu Jinlang were to chat. Unfortunately, he couldn’t say a word in this environment. After he thought about it, he could only ask, “The movie is about to be released. Are you nervous?”

　　Regardless of whether this episode could be broadcasted at the end, they must hurry up and promote the movie.

　　Lu Jinlang knew his thoughts, smiled, and said, “I’m not nervous, I have confidence in you.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “We have confidence in you, too.”

　　The two people talked softly. The content of the chat was about the previous filming, and they had a good sense of propriety. After talking about it, Wen Jianing became sleepy and his voice became quieter, so Lu Jinlang also fell silent and said nothing more.

　　Under such harsh circumstances, Wen Jianing still slept until dawn.

　　When he woke up in the morning, he was still half-asleep. He found that his head was resting on Lu Jinlang’s shoulder, and he was surrounded by a calm and familiar atmosphere. He almost reflexively raised his hand to touch Lu Jinlang’s face. However, when he touched it, he suddenly reacted that there was a camera shooting overhead. He immediately continued to reach out and changed to a stretching posture.

　　Lu Jinlang woke up, stretched his back, then sat up and asked, “Did you sleep well?”

　　Wen Jianing was in a cold sweat, and he was completely awake, but he still pretended to be lazy and didn’t want to get up, and said, “Morning, Director Lu.”

　　They packed their things and continued to set off.

　　Today’s task was to climb to the highest point of the mountain, then looked for the current, and then followed the direction of the current down the mountain. Tonight they would continue to sleep in the street, and tomorrow, if they could descend smoothly, they would spend the night near the village below the mountain.

　　The trap Matthew set up last night turned out to be rewarding. He caught a passing vole. Early in the morning, Matthew skinned the voles and roasted them on the fire. When Wen Jianing and the others woke up, he asked them if they wanted to eat them.

　　The small vole didn’t have much meat, and Matthew used a knife to divide it into small pieces.

　　Wen Jianing hesitated while holding it, but turned his head to see that Lu Jinlang and Jian Jun both swallowed it in one bite. He thought not to mind it, and he put it in his mouth.

　　Only Zhao Qin refused to eat.

　　Matthew teased her and delivered the vole meat to her mouth. She screamed and ran around the fire, hiding behind Lu Jinlang, covering her mouth with one hand and shaking her head quickly.

　　After the “breakfast”, they packed their things and continued to climb the mountain.

　　Yesterday was actually better since he just felt a little tired. But today, Wen Jianing started to feel the muscle aches caused by excessive exercise yesterday. He had a feeling that there was a long way to go, and at least they would spend the whole day in the mountains.

　　But they were not on the road all the time. Because this was a variety show, Matthew would explain a lot of knowledge about living in the wilderness along the way, and even waste some time deliberately looking for some creatures to show them.

　　Even so, Zhao Qin quickly couldn’t hold on. In addition to fatigue and muscle soreness throughout her body, she stopped to rest after walking for less than an hour and then insisted on going forward only when she felt she could continue.

　　Before noon, Matthew led them to find a valley. The river meandered and circled down the mountain.

　　Matthew stood on a high place and looked down, pointed his finger in the river and said excitedly, “Look, there are fish!”

　　They planned to go down the river valley to catch fish. There was a big smooth rock wall next to the river valley, and there was nowhere to go if they wanted to go down.

　　Matthew decided to demonstrate weaving a rope with vines. Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang helped him collect vines. He demonstrated how to tie knots and asked them to try to tie a few knots.

　　Then Matthew was the first to climb the vines, and the remaining people looked at each other. They couldn’t let Zhao Qin climb down last, so they decided that after Lu Jinlang and Jian Jun went down, Zhao Qin followed, and Wen Jianing would be last.

　　It was not difficult for Lu Jinlang and Jian Jun to go down, but it was not easy for Zhao Qin. She grabbed the vines and stomped on the smooth rock wall with her feet. In the end, her hands were out of strength and she almost slid down. Lu Jinlang and Jian Jun reached out and caught her below.

　　When it was Wen Jianing’s turn, he climbed down a long way. When he was about two meters away from the landing, a vine knot at hand was a little loose.

　　He was startled, one of his hands quickly clasped a small protruding stone on the side of the rock wall, and at the same time, the vine broke off and fell onto the rocky beach by the river.

　　When he saw this movement, Lu Jinlang’s heart could not help but rise and fall.

　　Matthew put his hands around his mouth, shouting loudly to let him not be afraid, and slowly climb down.

　　But Wen Jianing found that there was nowhere to go.

　　As a result, he ended up almost sliding down too, with Lu Jinlang and Jian Jun holding him up on either side so that he did not fall to the ground.

　　Wen Jianing raised his hand, his fingers were almost worn out, he turned his head and glanced at Lu Jinlang.

　　Lu Jinlang also saw it. When he lowered his head and was about to open the bag and search for band-aids, Jian Jun said in surprise, “Your hand! I’ll get you a band-aid!”

　　And after he finished saying this, Lu Jinlang had already fished out the band-aid.

　　Zhao Qin also came around. She probably thought that she was the only girl in the group, with delicate hands. She reached out and grabbed the band-aid in Lu Jinlang’s hand and said, “I’ll do it.”

　　Wen Jianing glanced at Lu Jinlang and stretched his fingers over.

　　Zhao Qin carefully put band-aids on each of his fingers.

　　Several people here are a little nervous because of Wen Jianing’s hand injury, and even the director personally climbed down with a climbing rope and came to ask him whether the injury was serious and whether it would affect the subsequent recording. But Matthew didn’t think it was a big deal. He had experienced countless harsh environments, and these minor injuries were common to him.

　　He had tied the knife to a wooden stick, then waved to beckon them to come and spearfish.

　　Zhao Qin was happy as long as she heard that she didn’t have to continue on the road, she was the one who stood first and walked over.

　　Jian Jun hesitated for a moment and ran in the direction of Matthew to see him spearfishing.

　　Only Lu Jinlang asked him, “Does it hurt a lot?”

　　Wen Jianing shook his head and reached out to Lu Jinlang to let him pull himself up, walked towards the river with him, and said, “It’s okay, I will also catch a fish for you to eat.”

　　To catch a fish, they must enter the water.

　　All of them took off their hiking boots and stepped into the water barefoot.

　　Next to him, Zhao Qin squealed because the river was so cold, even Wen Jianing couldn’t help but shiver, and then concentrated on using the small knife and fork fish he brought.

　　Matthew kept saying, “Be careful of your feet.”

　　Actually, he didn’t need them to remind everyone because everyone was also very careful. More than ten minutes had passed and no one had gained anything.

　　Suddenly, Zhao Qin stepped on a small stone and couldn’t stand firmly, and fell to the side. Wen Jianing was the closest to her and stretched out her hand to give her a hand. Unfortunately, Zhao Qin had lost her balance. Not only did she fall down, but she also pulled Wen Jianing into the water.

　　The water reached the knee-deep, and the two of them sat in, almost completely drenched.

　　When Matthew saw them, he laughed twice and said, “I’m going to make a fire. You guys think of a way to dry your clothes quickly.”

　　In order to simplify his load, Wen Jianing only brought a change of clothes inside but didn’t bring extra clothes and pants. At this time, he became a little nervous.

　　Lu Jinlang immediately said to Jian Jun, “Help them find towels. First, find clothes they can use to change and go look for rocks over there they could go behind to change.”

　　Then he went to the director of the program group to discuss, saying that it was impossible for them to be photographed in their underwear, and hoping to find clothes and pants to wear first.

　　The director agreed and helped them find a set of clothes.

　　Jian Jun looked through the towel and found a big rock by the river, asking them to hide behind it to change their clothes.

　　The cameraman consciously stepped back and took pictures in front of the stone, only to be able to take pictures of their heads and necks that were exposed when they changed their clothes.

　　Zhao Qin was a lady, so it was natural to guard her. Lu Jinlang said to her, “Don’t worry, I’m standing in front, no one will pass by.” After that, he turned his back on Zhao Qin.

　　All the people from the program group also gathered here, and no one could see the scene behind the stone. In fact, Wen Jianing should feel glad that there was a woman who could make it seem reasonable for him to hide behind and change clothes. If they were all men, there was no need to worry so much.

　　Jian Jun took a towel to Wen Jianing and asked him to wipe it first.

　　This was supposed to be just a small episode. Although the changing of clothes was filmed, the director did not intend to broadcast it.

　　But they did not expect that half the way Zhao Qin changed her clothes, and suddenly screamed while wearing only her underwear. She ran out from behind the big rock and hugged Lu Jinlang’s back and shouted, “There is a snake!”

　　Lu Jinlang reacted very quickly. He held Zhao Qin in one hand and retreated back, and at the same time took off his coat and put it on her to cover it.

　　Matthew rushed over and grabbed the not too thick, non-venomous little snake.

　　All this happened so fast that the camera couldn’t stop shooting, so the camera was shot in.

　　Then the atmosphere became a bit awkward.

　　When Wen Jianing changed his clothes, Lu Jinlang simply asked to stop filming, but there was no more dangerous situation.

　　Then the wet clothes were put on a twig and dried by the fire, and Matthew finally caught the fish and roasted them for them.

　　While waiting for the clothes to dry, everyone was a little silent, perhaps because they had not recovered yet from the awkward atmosphere just now.

　　Wen Jianing took a branch in his hand and poked it in the fire from time to time. It had no purpose. Lu Jinlang sat opposite him, holding a branch in his hand. When he fiddled with the fire, he touched Wen Jianing’s branch with his.

　　The two raised their heads and glanced at each other, then lowered their gazes without saying anything.

　　Wen Jianing felt that he could no longer participate with Lu Jinlang in this 24-hour program. The feeling of not being able to say anything was too unbearable.
