Perfection

Chapter 65

  That afternoon, Wen Jianing went to visit Wen Lin’s set.

  In order to make things easier, he specifically called Wen Tinghuan to accompany him, but it turned out that Wen Tinghuan took Jian Jun with her.

  Wen Jianing asked when he got in the car, “Is Jian Jun going too?”

  Wen Tinghuan said, “Take him to see Wen Lin too, you guys are also considered as brothers.”

  Wen Jianing got into the car and sat beside Jian Jun. Jian Jun felt that he had touched Wen Jianing’s leg, so he moved a little aside.

  Wen Lin’s movie was currently being shot in the studio. Because it was a small budget movie, there were not many locations for the whole movie, and most of the plots were shot in the studio.

  When Wen Jianing arrived, Wen Lin was in the middle of filming.

  Because of Wen Jianing’s arrival, there was a small-scale commotion on the scene, but no one made a sound to interrupt the shooting of this shot.

  Wen Jianing saw that Wen Lin’s set was in a dark hut. The windows were small and thick and dense iron bars were welded on. His arms were tied behind his back, his eyes were covered by cloth, and his mouth was stuffed with cloth. Wen Lin was wearing a white shirt and his hair was a little longer. The bangs fell off and looked a bit childish. He seemed to be thinner than a few days ago, and he looked a little pitiful when he was tied up like this.

  Then, a short and strong man walked in. The man was wearing leather shoes and walking on the ground made a heavy noise.

  Wen Jianing saw Wen Lin start to tremble.

  The man walked to Wen Lin’s side, stood for a while without doing anything, then turned and left.

  It wasn’t until the man left that Wen Lin’s trembling slowly slowed until it completely subsided.

  The director called to stop.

  The shackles on Wen Lin’s body had not been untied, because he needed to continue to take another shot. He was still tied up in the small black room, and a middle-aged woman in high heels came in. She stepped on and kicked Wen Lin with her heels. Wen Lin let out a frightened and suppressed scream, trying to move his body to avoid her, but he was unable to do so.

  Wen Jianing remembered the plot of the movie Wen Lin once told was about a child who grew up being abused by his stepmother.

  The stepmother was an actress who was experienced in acting. She looked very cruel every time she kicked, but the heels were covered with soft foam, and she avoided the sharpest heels, mostly with the soles of the shoes. It shouldn’t hurt too much on Wen Lin.

  But Wen Lin’s cry sounded terrible. This performance looked very lifelike. The scene was always very quiet and no one made any noise. They seemed to be amazed by his performance.

  However, Wen Jianing could see that this was not Wen Lin’s acting skills, he was genuinely scared.

  Even until the end of the filming, when he was unchained and the cloth strips covering his eyes were taken off. His face was still pale.

  Jian Jun stood beside Wen Jianing and looked at him, and suddenly said softly, “He doesn’t seem very good.”

  Wen Jianing walked toward Wen Lin.

  Wen Lin didn’t notice him at first, only until Wen Jianing stood in front of him, he suddenly turned around, “Xinhang? When did you come?”

  Other staff members ran over to find Wen Jianing’s autograph for a photo, but he politely refused.

  Wen Jianing asked Wen Lin, “Is there a convenient place to talk?”

  Wen Lin was a little at a loss for a moment, and said after a moment, “Wait a minute, I’ll go and ask the director.”

  There was nowhere to talk, so they simply returned to Wen Tinghuan’s car, and Wen Lin’s agent Zhu Zexin also followed.

  Since they were all from the same company, Wen Jianing said to Wen Lin bluntly, “Wen Lin, your recent state is not quite right.”

  Wen Lin actually understood that his condition was not good. Not only was it not good, but he felt that he was probably a little depressed. During the filming today, from the moment he was tied up, he felt very scared and uncomfortable. When he heard the footsteps of someone approaching, he was even more scared and his whole body trembled.

  Wen Tinghuan glanced at Zhu Zexin. She felt that Wen Lin was in such a bad state. As an agent and assistant, Zhu Zexin should be more or less responsible.

  But Zhu Zexin just frowned and said nothing. In fact, from the very beginning, he didn’t think much of Wen Lin. He felt that among the three of them, Wen Lin was the least distinctive and might have the bleakest future.

  He had shot two TV dramas in succession. The first one made Wen Jianing famous and the second one made Yi Nan famous. Wen Lin himself was still dull, but there were movies to be made. So he should be more or less content.

  Of course he could see that Wen Lin was in a bad state, but so what? The movie had already been made and the contract had been signed. It was impossible to give up halfway, and they had to keep filming no matter what.

  Wen Jianing put his hands on Wen Lin’s shoulders, and said, “Wen Lin, listen, you are too deep into the play now, and you must pull yourself out.”

  Wen Lin was a little startled, “Too deep into the play?”

  Since he took the play, he had been studying the script and figuring out the characters very seriously. He felt that Wen Jianing was right, he had to fight for some things on his own. If he was in Wen Jianing’s position and proposed to release an album, the company might not be happy, but there was no reason to refuse.

  He didn’t like acting, nor was he good at acting, but it didn’t mean that he couldn’t perform well after trying hard. There were many things that you would only know the results were if you tried hard.

  Over the past few days, he felt that he had indeed figured out the character well, being scared to the point of trembling. It was the mentality that this role should have, and he thought that he had portrayed it very well. But why did Wen Jianing tell him that he must pull away this time?

  Wen Jianing looked at Wen Lin’s confused face and suddenly felt some regret.

  Before Wen Lin took the role, he already discussed it with him, but at that time Wen Jianing was also troubled by his affairs with Lu Jinlang, and didn’t take it too seriously. Moreover, he had rich acting experience and could distinguish the difference between acting and reality. It did not mean that Wen Lin, a newcomer who had just debuted less than two years ago, could distinguish clearly.

  He was not responsible for Wen Lin, but since the two debuted together until now, to be honest, their relationship was not shallow. Wen Jianing felt that if he could help Wen Lin, he must do it.

  Wen Jianing nodded affirmatively to Wen Lin, “You have to make it clear that you are performing this role. You can’t feel the same way as him. The injuries he has suffered are not really on you.  It’s a virtual character and a fictional story.”

  Wen Lin was a little puzzled, “Then how can I perform this role well?”

  Wen Jianing didn’t know how to answer Wen Lin’s question. To put it bluntly, it was a psychological problem. He himself would also be immersed in the role, but when the director called for a stop, he could immediately withdraw. He understood the difference between acting and life.

  Wen Jianing said to him, “Go see a psychiatrist.”

  Wen Lin had to continue filming, so they couldn’t afford to delay too long. When he left, Wen Jianing thought about asking Wen Lin to come out for a talk. It was best to have a quiet environment to make him open up.

  At the same time, he also said to Zhu Zexin, “Please arrange a psychiatrist for Wen Lin.”

  Zhu Zexin frowned very slightly and said, “I understand.”

  Wen Tinghuan sighed when he started the car and said, “Wen Lin just thinks too much.”

  The more delicate a person was, the easier it was to fall into some emotions that were difficult to extricate oneself from.

  Jian Jun sat beside Wen Jianing and couldn’t help but said, “Is it easy to be depressed like this?”

  Wen Tinghuan nodded, “Yes, so you must distinguish between what is real and what is fiction. Acting is acting, don’t get caught up in it.”

  Jian Jun heard the words and couldn’t help turning his head and glancing at Wen Jianing beside him.

  Wen Jianing frowned and looked out the car window in silence.

  Wen Tinghuan sent him home. He opened the door and saw Lu Jinlang and Tongtong sitting on the sofa watching TV together. Lu Jinlang was wearing glasses and looked particularly gentle. There was a magazine on his leg.

  Tongtong was so absorbed in watching the TV that he didn’t even hear Wen Jianing coming back.

  Wen Jianing walked over and rubbed Tongtong’s head.

  Tongtong looked up at him. His mouth was slightly open, and he didn’t have time to close it.

  Wen Jianing smiled and said, “Look at you,” and then sat down between him and Lu Jinlang.

  Lu Jinlang raised his hand around his waist and asked, “How is Wen Lin?”

  Wen Jianing sighed, “At that time, he shouldn’t have been allowed to take the role. He was a little too deep in the play to get out.”

  Lu Jinlang was silent for a while, took out his mobile phone to find a phone number, and said, “Tell him to see a psychiatrist. Tell him the phone number and address, so that he can visit the doctor when he is free.”

  Wen Jianing nodded, wrote down the number and sent it to Zhu Zexin. He was afraid that Wen Lin would not contact him, and hoped that Zhu Zexin could arrange it for him.

  At around eight o’clock in the evening, Tongtong was still sitting on the sofa and watching TV, while Wen Jianing was sitting next to him and watching with him.

  Lu Jinlang was originally reading on the second floor, then walked down in slippers and went straight to turn off the TV, and then said to Tongtong, “You should take a shower, and go to bed after the shower.”

  Tongtong looked up at him and said, “I want to watch more.”

  Lu Jinlang shook his head, “Go take a bath.”

  Wen Jianing watched Lu Jinlang carry Tongtong up to the second floor, so he followed, leaning against the bathroom door, and watched Lu Jinlang strip Tongtong’s clothes naked and herded him into the bathtub like a chicken. After Tongtong went into the bathtub, only then did Lu Jinlang remember to put hot water in.

  Tongtong was drenched by the splashing cold water and shuddered.

  Wen Jianing chuckled, “You should put hot water first.”

  The water slowly became hot, and only then Lu Jinlang pointed the nozzle at Tongtong’s body and washed him up and down carefully.

  Wen Jianing saw the mist start to disperse in the bathroom, so he stepped back and went back to the room to turn on the computer. He habitually browsed the entertainment news, and found an inconspicuous piece of news on the website mentioning that he took the boy to the supermarket.

  He clicked in and saw two very clear photos. Although he was wearing sunglasses, his delicate and delicate facial contours could be recognized at a glance. One of the photos was of him holding Tongtong into the car. Tongtong was looking around, his face was very clear.

  The news was a short sentence, only mentioning that he showed up with an unidentified little boy and behaved intimately. It seemed that he was deliberately guiding in an ambiguous direction, but after all, Ke Xinhang was still very young, and no one would think that he had such a big illegitimate child.

  After he saw that there was no important news for a while, Wen Jianing heard the sound of water from the bathroom stop as he closed the browser.

  Lu Jinlang wrapped Tongtong in a bath towel, guided him directly into the guest room and put him on the bed.

  The boy pulled the quilt over himself and covered himself.

  Lu Jinlang suddenly remembered a question. He asked Wen Jianing who came over, “Did my second brother come over with his clothes?”

  Wen Jianing was taken aback and shook his head.

  Lu Jinlang felt a little helpless. He went back to the room to find his mobile phone and called Lu Jinxin.

  Wen Jianing walked over to help Tongtong pull up the quilt.

  Tongtong lay flat on the bed in a very upright posture, and said to Wen Jianing, “Can you tell me a story?”

  Wen Jianing touched his head lightly, “What story?” He had never had the experience of telling a story to a child, and he couldn’t remember anything for a while, so he could only ask him, “What story does your father usually tell you?”

  Tongtong said, “Snow White versus Seven Dwarfs.”

  Wen Jianing was shocked, “What! How can he tell you that?”

  Tongtong was stunned by him and looked at him blankly.

  Lu Jinlang just hung up the phone and walked in and said, “His father usually talks nonsense with him. Don’t be nervous.”

  Wen Jianing reacted in an instant and thought that Lu Jinxin would not be so careless. He should have misunderstood him, but he couldn’t help being curious. He asked Tong Tong, “What did he say?”

  Tongtong looked at the ceiling for a moment, and said, “There is a princess whose skin is as white as snow. She went to the forest and met a dwarf who was cutting her with a knife. She kicked the dwarf away…”

  ”Okay,” Wen Jianing interrupted him by touching his face, “Be a good boy, tomorrow I will buy a storybook and come back to tell you a story. Don’t listen to your dad’s nonsense in the future.”

  Tongtong gave a soft “um” and closed his eyes.

  Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang turned off the lights and went out.

  Wen Jianing stood in the corridor. He saw Lu Jinlang laughing and couldn’t help but say, “What are you laughing at?”

  Lu Jinlang put his hands in his pockets and stared at him, with a smile still in his eyes, “What’s the story of Snow White versus the Seven Dwarfs?”

  Wen Jianing really misunderstood, he was glad that he didn’t ask some strange questions in front of Tongtong.

  Lu Jinlang took a step forward and pinned Wen Jianing almost against the wall. Lu Jinlang put one hand next to his head, leaned in his ear and whispered, “Would you like to make a film of Ke Xinhang versus Lu Jinlang?”

  Wen Jianing asked, “Are you gonna direct it?”

  Lu Jinlang already held his waist with one hand, and said, “No, I’m the lead.” After he said that, he kissed Wen Jianing’s lips.

Chapter 64

       When Wen Jianing woke up the next morning, Lu Jinlang was still asleep. He drank too much last night and slept deeply on his pillow.

  He reached out and touched Lu Jinlang’s hair. Wen Jianing buried his head in his hair and kissed the side of his face before getting up from the bed.

  He came down from the second floor and went into the kitchen. Suddenly he wanted to prepare breakfast for Lu Jinlang so that Lu Jinlang could have something to eat after he woke up.

       As for cooking, Wen Jianing didn’t say that he couldn’t do it at all. But it was true that he was not good at it. He put on an apron, poured oil into the pot to prepare an omelette, and suddenly heard the doorbell rang outside.

  He took the spatula and went out to open the door, and saw that the person standing outside turned out to be Lu Jinxin.

  Actually, this scene was a bit familiar. Lu Jinxin looked like he was catching adulterers, but Wen Jianing was very calm and wondered, “What’s the matter with you?”

  Lu Jinxin said, “Is Lu Jinlang here? He kept turning off the phone when I called him.”

  Wen Jianing said, “He hasn’t gotten up yet.”

  Lu Jinxin pushed him aside, entered the door and ran upstairs.

  When Wen Jianing wanted to catch up, he suddenly remembered that the fire in the kitchen hadn’t been turned off. So he hurriedly went to turn off the fire, and then ran up to the second floor.

  Lu Jinlang was awakened by Lu Jinxin at this time. He drank too much wine yesterday and came back to make a mess of Wen Jianing for a while. Now he was not awake yet. He sat on the bed with his naked body, reached out his hand and rubbed his head, and asked in a stuffy voice, “What are you doing here early in the morning?”

  When Lu Jinxin looked at him like this, he suddenly got angry, grabbed the clothes next to him and threw them on him, “Get your clothes ready and go down with me.”

  Lu Jinlang asked him, “Go down to do what?”

  Lu Jinxin said, “You help me watch Tongtong for a few days.”

  Lu Jinlang shook his head awkwardly, “Did you bring Tongtong here again?”

  Lu Jinxin urged him, “Hurry up, Tongtong is still waiting in the car alone!”

  Wen Jianing walked in upon seeing this.

  When Lu Jinxin saw him, he pointed his finger at him and said, “What are you doing? Put the spatula down!”

  Wen Jianing felt nervous, put the spatula aside, and said to Lu Jinxin, “I’ll go down with you and take Tongtong first. He drank too much last night, and he hasn’t sobered up yet.”

  Lu Jinxin hesitated. He looked back and saw that Lu Jinlang hadn’t put on his clothes yet. Then he thought of his son who was locked in the car by himself, so he said to Wen Jianing, “Go!”

  He took Wen Jianing to pick up Tongtong. He didn’t ask Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang what was going on. Whether the two of them were getting back together or not, Lu Jinxin was not in the mood to investigate them. His own life was still a mess these days.

  Wen Jianing asked him, “You secretly brought your son out again?”

  Lu Jinxin walked forward and said with a cold face, “That woman wants to take her son directly out of the country. I don’t want him to harass my mother and elder brother and sister in law. She can’t find Tongtong at the third child’s side.”

  Wen Jianing couldn’t help asking, “How long are you going to let the child hide?”

  ”It won’t be for long,” Lu Jinxin said. “When the court decides and she dares to approach Tongtong in the future, I will call the police directly.”

  Wen Jianing wanted to say that even if the court granted the child’s custody to him, it was impossible to forbid a mother’s visit to her son, but seeing Lu Jinxin’s irritable appearance, he didn’t say anything.

  Lu Jinxin opened the car door and carried Tongtong down. Tongtong first grasped the back of the chair and refused to get down, but when he turned around and saw Wen Jianing, he suddenly changed his mind and stretched out his hand to let Wen Jianing carry him.

  Wen Jianing held the boy in his arms.

  Lu Jinxin reached out his hand and wiped his son’s nose. After a moment of silence, he said to Wen Jianing, “Thank you, help me watch him for two days.”

  Wen Jianing said, “I will take care of him.”

  Lu Jinxin got into the car and couldn’t help but say to Wen Jianing before closing the door, “What are you doing with Lu Jinlang?”

  Wen Jianing told him with certainty this time, “We are together.”

  ”Together?” Lu Jinxin inevitably took a sarcastic tone when he heard him.

  Wen Jianing said calmly, “At least it’s more serious than between you and your wife.”

  Lu Jinxin couldn’t find anything to say at the moment. He could have said that he still at least had a son. Can they have one? But now it had come to this way, even he had to secretly bring the son to hide him. It didn’t seem to be something to be proud of.

  He raised his hand and then started the car, and said, “Whatever you say.”

  Since he didn’t believe they would work out, he let time be the judge. Just like when he married his wife, he never thought that there would be today.

  When Lu Jinxin left, Wen Jianing took Tongtong back to the room on the second floor. He saw Lu Jinlang lying down and sleeping again. He didn’t know how much Lu Jinlang heard of Lu Jinxin just now.

  Wen Jianing closed the door and said to Tongtong, “Have you had breakfast?”

  Tongtong shook his head.

  Wen Jianing then said, “Then I will make breakfast for you, and then we’ll go out, okay?”

  Tongtong replied, “Okay.”

  He fried three eggs in the end, one for each of them, and the one for Lu Jinlang was put on a plate with a bowl and put on the dining table.

  Wen Jianing originally told Ke Xinfan yesterday that he would go to see him at night, but because of yesterday’s dinner party, he could not go there. The first thing to do this morning was to see Ke Xinfan in the hospital, and he took Tongtong along the way.

  When he arrived at the hospital, Ke Xinfan was having breakfast, and his body had gradually recovered and he was able to get out of bed and walk around slowly.

  When he saw Wen Jianing show up with a little boy, Ke Xinfan said, “You didn’t come here last night. Did you give birth to a son?”

  Wen Jianing knew that he liked to say something bad to stimulate him, so he didn’t respond, just asked how he was recovering.

  ”Not bad,” Ke Xinfan said while moving his shoulder a bit.

  Wen Jianing sat down by the bed and said to him, “When you are discharged from the hospital, I will go with you to sweep the grave for our parents.”

  Ke Xinfan glanced at him, “You sure? I thought you didn’t acknowledge me as your own brother, let alone your parents.”

  In fact, by going back with Ke Xinfan, one thing Wen Jianing might have to face was that Ke Xinfan discovered that he didn’t know anything about Ke Xinhang in the past. But as long as he didn’t admit it, Ke Xinfan could not even imagine that a soul has been changed in his brother’s shell even if he were to break his head.

  He didn’t know what Ke Xinfan planned, but he could feel that Ke Xinfan still cared for Ke Xinhang. He hoped to use this feeling as a weight to let Ke Xinfan completely dispel the idea of using his body as a threat to him.

  When Wen Jianing talked to Ke Xinfan, Tongtong always looked at Ke Xinfan with his big eyes open.

  Ke Xinfan was watched by him for a long time and said impatiently, “What’s your son doing staring at me?”

  Wen Jianing said, “He is not my son.”

  Ke Xinfan suddenly stretched out his hand to Tongtong and said, “Come here and let uncle have a look.”

  When Tongtong heard what he said, he actually walked over to Ke Xinfan.

  Ke Xinfan raised his hand and touched his head, then squeezed his face and smiled at him.

  They came out of the hospital, and Wen Jianing drove Tongtong to a big supermarket on the road. He was wearing a cap and sunglasses. He carried Tongtong out of the car and held his hand as he walked into the supermarket. In fact, this did not stop people from recognising him, but on the contrary, this kind of outfit always stood out, but one advantage was that when someone asked him if he was Ke Xinhang, he could just tell them that he was not, because no one would have to take off his glasses to see.

  Wen Jianing took Tongtong to the supermarket and called Lu Jinlang at the same time.

  Lu Jinlang was finally awake at this time. When Wen Jianing called and asked him what he was doing, he said, “Eating your love eggs.”

  Wen Jianing smiled and asked, “Is it delicious?”

  Lu Jinlang suggested, “I think it can be fried a little tender.”

  Wen Jianing said, “I’ll fry it like that next time. What would you like to eat at noon? I’m shopping in the supermarket now.”

  Lu Jinlang chuckled and asked him, “Who’s cooking”

  Wen Jianing smiled and said, “Of course you.”

  Lu Jinlang then said, “Buy whatever you want. I can cook anything with what you bought.”

  The phone hung up, Wen Jianing squatted down to help Tongtong tidy up his collar, and said to him, “Just go get whatever you want, okay?”

  Tongtong nodded.

  When he came out of the supermarket, he put two plastic bags in the car first and then carried Tongtong to the car.

  On the opposite street, a paparazzi was secretly taking pictures with a camera. Wen Jianing noticed it but didn’t pay attention to them. After they got into the car, he helped Tongtong fasten his belt completely before slowly starting the car.

  At noon, Tongtong was watching TV on the sofa outside, while Lu Jinlang was cooking in the kitchen, and Wen Jianing was next to him.

  He seemed to have no energy and his hair was dishevelled. He asked lazily, “When did Tongtong come?”

  Wen Jianing cut the vegetables clumsily. He stared at the plate carefully and said, “Don’t you know your brother came this morning?”

  ”I know,” Lu Jinlang yawned, “But I don’t know he brought Tongtong here.”

  In fact, Lu Jinxin clearly mentioned it to him, but he was so dazed at that time and didn’t remember what Lu Jinxin said.

  Wen Jianing stopped, looked up and said, “It’s still because of the divorce. Once two people have no feelings left, they can do anything even if they have to tear each other’s faces off.”

  Lu Jinlang walked over and hugged him from behind, covering his left hand with his left hand, and holding his right hand with his right hand to hold the kitchen knife firmly, correcting his movements, and said, “My second sister in law is the one who started first. She already had someone out there for a long time.”

  ”Your second brother is not innocent either,” Wen Jianing said.

  Lu Jinlang didn’t refute, he held Wen Jianing’s hand and cut the potatoes into shreds with him, and finally said, “So, let him suffer by himself.”

  Wen Jianing agreed with him, “I just pity the child.”

  Lu Jinlang let go of his hand, changed his position to hug him, kissed him on the ear, and said, “Come home with me someday.”

  ”Huh?” Wen Jianing stopped and turned his head slightly.

  ”Are you afraid?” Lu Jinlang asked him.

  Wen Jianing said, “I’m not afraid.” By now, he really didn’t feel scared.

  Lu Jinlang smiled, “Don’t be afraid, before that, I will go to my mother to confess.” He said that, after a short pause, he added, “But my mother is not scary. My second brother is also fierce but weak. The most frightening one is my eldest brother.”

  Wen Jianing asked, “Is your eldest brother Lu Jinfeng?”

  Lu Jinlang “Huh?” He gulped, “Do you know him?”

  Wen Jianing smiled and said, “Of course I have heard that. In fact, I’ve always guessed whether he has something to do with being your brother.”

  Of the three brothers of the Lu family, the eldest was in politics, the second was in business, and the third was someone famous in the entertainment industry. Now Wen Jianing had a clear picture of Lu Jinlang’s family background.

  Although Lu Jinxin looked fierce, his own life was in a mess. At best, he would just say a few harsh words to Lu Jinlang on the surface, and he wouldn’t really interfere. But Lu Jinfeng was different. Lu Jinfeng was a stereotypical and serious man who brought Lu Jinlang up since he was a child, and he certainly wouldn’t easily agree with the relationship between Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing.

  Lu Jinlang didn’t worry about anyone else, he was just worried that his elder brother would come forward to stop him. He hugged Wen Jianing tightly and said, “It’s okay, I won’t let you be wronged.”

Chapter 63

       Actually, Wen Jianing and Jian Jun were not invited to dinner.

       The investor’s name was Wang Wenzhong, and he was Zhao Qin’s uncle. Zhao Qin entered the crew through Ji Mingcheng, and Ji Mingcheng directly asked the assistant director to give her a role. Lu Jinlang only personally interviewed the protagonist’s candidates. For other less important roles were left up to the assistant director in charge of casting, and he was not too sure about any of them.

  Of course, Ji Mingcheng had no choice. In order to increase investment, he sometimes had to make some small compromises. However, the female role in this play was not important, and there were only a few scenes. Whether Zhao Qin’s acting skills were good or not, it wouldn’t influence the movie greatly

  Wang Wenzhong was asked by Zhao Qin to invite Lu Jinlang to dinner.

  Zhao Qin had been on the crew for such a long time and could see that Lu Jinlang was the one who had the final say in the crew. It was useless to ask the producer or screenwriter. She deliberately wanted to add some scenes for herself. She tried to approach Lu Jinlang but it didn’t work well, so she moved her uncle out.

  Wang Wenzhong came to invite Lu Jinlang to dinner, and as one of the biggest investors behind the movie, Lu Jinlang also had to socialize. However, he didn’t want to go to dinner with them alone. So Ji Mingcheng was also brought in, and he called Wen Jianing and Jian Jun along the way.

  The meal was arranged by Wang Wenzhong. He originally only planned to invite Lu Jinlang only. When he saw so many people, he was afraid that he could not handle it alone, so he hurriedly called two young people to accompany him for a drink.

  The group of people sat down, and Wang Wenzhong arranged Zhao Qin next to Lu Jinlang.

       Zhao Qin was innocent-looking, but only her face was innocent. She dangled in front of Lu Jinlang and hoped that Lu Jinlang could look at her. She didn’t care about being an unspoken rules, she just wanted more scenes.

  So as soon as she got on the table, she deliberately leaned against Lu Jinlang.

  Wen Jianing sat opposite Lu Jinlang and saw that Zhao Qin’s chest was sticking to Lu Jinlang’s arm.

  Lu Jinlang looked calm, as if he didn’t realize anything. When someone offered him a toast, he picked it up and drank.

  This kind of meal was actually not very interesting. It was just a crisscross of wine. You drink to me and I drink to you, complimenting each other and saying some nice things.

  Wen Jianing had experience in socializing. He could only rely on drinking anyway, but Jian Jun who sat next to him was not used to it. He drank honestly when others toasted him.

       Later, Wen Jianing couldn’t see it and helped him block two glasses of wine, and then asked the waiter to pour him a cup of hot tea.

       Jian Jun’s eyes were somewhat blank, and when he saw Wen Jianing’s white and slender fingers put the tea cup in front of him and put it down. He stretched out his hand in a daze and grabbed Wen Jianing’s hand.

  Wen Jianing looked at him strangely, “What’s the matter?”

  Jian Jun suddenly came to his senses, let go of his hand and shook his head.

  Wen Jianing still placed his hands on the table, he raised his head and looked at Lu Jinlang on the opposite side.

  Wang Wenzhong and Zhao Qin were targeting Lu Jinlang today, and Lu Jinlang had already drunk a lot. Although his expression did not change, Wen Jianing could see that he was a little drunk.

  The person next to him handed him a cigarette, he took it, and Zhao Qin quickly took a lighter to help him light the cigarette, and he did not refuse.

  Lu Jinlang didn’t smoke very much. He was similar to Wen Jianing. He only smokes when he was either upset or drunk.

  Zhao Qin asked the waiter to pour a cup of tea and handed it to Lu Jinlang for him to drink.

  Before Lu Jinlang reached out to pick up the cup, Wen Jianing appeared between the two of them, shaking his mobile phone in front of Lu Jinlang, “Manager Bai is looking for you.”

  Lu Jinlang raised his head to look at him, stood up and took the phone in one hand and walked outside, Wen Jianing followed.

  There was no voice on the phone, but Lu Jinlang still said, “Shengzhe?” as he walked to the bathroom.

  After they entered the bathroom, Lu Jinlang threw the phone back to Wen Jianing, turned on the faucet and soaked his face with cold water.

  Wen Jianing reached out and pulled a piece of paper towel to Lu Jinlang, and said, “It’s almost done.”

  Lu Jinlang took a paper towel to wipe off the water on his face.

  Suddenly, Wen Jianing heard the sound of people vomiting from a cubicle in the bathroom.

  Lu Jinlang obviously heard it too. He turned his head and glanced in that direction, and saw that the innermost compartment door was not closed, and a man threw up next to the toilet.

  Neither of them should be curious about this kind of thing.

  However, Wen Jianing frowned slightly when he saw Lu Jinlang looking at the man’s back, so he stepped forward to take a closer look. Then he saw at a glance the man’s back and it turned out to be Wen Lin.

  Wen Jianing rushed over to help people up, and said, “Wen Lin? Why are you…?”

  Wen Lin was startled at first, and then relaxed after seeing Wen Jianing. He choked uncomfortably, and said, “Xinhang?” He turned around and saw Lu Jinlang, and then said, “You are all here.”

  Lu Jinlang went out and asked the waiter for a bottle of mineral water.

  After washing his face with cold water next to the sink, Wen Lin rinsed his mouth with water. He stretched out his forehead, which was wet with water, and said, “I’m fine, thank you.”

  ”Where is Zhu Zexin?” Wen Jianing asked, “I’ll call him to pick you up.”

  Wen Lin shook his head, “He will come back later, I have not finished my meal yet, so I have to go back and continue.”

  Wen Jianing stopped him, “Do they force you to drink?”

  ”No,” Wen Lin denied, “I just came out to gather with friends from the crew.”

  Wen Jianing always thinks that his face is not pretty, “Then why do you drink so much?”

  Wen Lin smiled reluctantly, “I’m fine.” Then he walked outside, “I’ll go back first, otherwise they will look for me. Don’t worry about me.”

  As he watched Wen Lin leave, Wen Jianing was a little confused for a moment as to what had happened.

  Lu Jinlang stood behind him, suddenly put a hand on his shoulder, and said, “Wen Lin said he took the role before?”

  Wen Jianing recalled that Wen Lin asked his opinion at that time and mentioned that it was a movie with a dark theme after all.

  Lu Jinlang patted him on the shoulder, “Let’s go back first.”

  They sat back at the dinner table, everyone was drunk. Lu Jinlang went to wash and sobered up his face with cold water. Zhao Qin handed him a glass of water, but he politely refused.

  Wen Jianing was still thinking about Wen Lin. It was not convenient for him to let Lu Jinlang accompany him to see Wen Lin. So he called Jian Jun to join him. They were all brothers of the same company. There was nothing wrong with visiting each other.

  Jian Jun still didn’t know what happened, but Wen Jianing asked him to go and he followed.

  They found Wen Lin and the others in the private room, Wen Jianing pushed the door in, and found that, as Wen Lin said, they were just a crew member who came out to party, and there was no accompaniment or entertainment. On the contrary, Wen Lin seemed to be drinking to drown his sorrows with his head buried and didn’t talk much.

  As soon as Wen Jianing and Jian Jun entered, the crew here stood up and greeted him. Knowing the relationship between him and Wen Lin, they made sure to make Wen Jianing have a drink before letting him go. When he left, Wen Jianing saw Zhu Zexin coming to pick up Wen Lin, so he gave Zhu Zexin some instructions and didn’t interfere any more.

  But he had made up his mind that he would take time to visit Wenlin’s set these two days.

  Back in the private room, he saw Zhao Qin was helping Lu Jinlang up and said, “I’ll take you back.”

  Wang Wenzhong also hurriedly said, “Just in time, let Zhao Qin send you. She didn’t drink too much.”

  Lu Jinlang turned his head and saw Wen Jianing and Jian Jun coming in. He smiled and rejected Wang Wenzhong and Zhao Qin, and said, “No, my assistant is already waiting for me in the parking lot.”

  Zhao Qin said, “I will help you over.”

  Lu Jinlang said, “How can I ask for a girl’s help?”

  Wen Jianing stepped forward and said, “Let us help.”

  He and Jian Jun alone supported Lu Jinlang, and Ji Mingcheng also quickly got up to say goodbye.

  Zhao Qin had no choice but to follow all the way to the parking lot. She saw that Lu Yunan was already waiting there in the car, and Lu Jinlang had no intention of inviting her in the car, so she had to give up.

  Wen Jianing helped Lu Jinlang get into the car and saw Jian Jun standing beside the car in a daze, he said to him, “Come on, Ting jie just called and asked me to take you on the way back after dinner.”

  The so-called “on the way back” meant that he was borrowing Lu Jinlang’s car to take Jian Jun back.

  Jian Jun hesitated for a moment, and then got into Lu Jinlang’s nanny car.

  Lu Yunan saw that Lu Jinlang was a little unsteady, and asked, “Why do you drink so much?”

  Lu Jinlang looked calm, “Someone is watching anyway, don’t worry.”

  He dared to let down his guard and drink because Wen Jianing was by his side and would not allow him to get drunk and unconscious and then be taken away by others. Otherwise, Zhao Qin would throw him on the bed, stripped off his clothes and said that he forced her to bed tomorrow morning, and he really wouldn’t be able to argue.

  Wen Jianing didn’t speak, he was still thinking about Wen Lin’s appearance tonight.

  Lu Jinlang raised his hand and rubbed the soft hair on the back of Wen Jianing’s neck.

  Jian Jun suddenly felt embarrassed, but in the narrow space, he could only turn his gaze away, and there was no way to avoid it. He seemed to have a strange deviation in understanding Wen Jianing’s gender. Of course he didn’t think Wen Jianing looked like a woman, but he always felt that the other person was different from himself, and also different from the men he had met in the past.

  Lu Jinlang said at this moment, “Let’s have a day off tomorrow.”

  Wen Jianing and Jian Jun both looked at him, and Lu Jinlang said, “Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will give you two days off. Take a break and do whatever you want.”

  Wen Jianing took a deep breath and shook Lu Jinlang’s hand.

  After they dropped Jian Jun home, there were only two of them left in the back compartment.

  Lu Jinlang buried his head on Wen Jianing’s shoulder, hugged him and let him sit on himself.

  Wen Jianing clasped his fingers, and suddenly said, “Zhao Qin has a purpose for this meal today?”

  Lu Jinlang smiled stiffly, “Did you see her put a drug in the water cup?”

  Wen Jianing couldn’t help turning his head slightly, “Did you see it? If I don’t stop you, are you just going to drink it?”

  Lu Jinlang said, “There are so many people there, what can she do as a young girl? If she gives me drugs, I will just go back and fvck you up!”

  Wen Jianing felt silly, “fvck me up?”

  Lu Jinlang reached out and pinched his jaw, forcing him to turn his head, “fvck you until dry in bed, and let no one will see you.”

  At this time, Lu Yunan knocked on the partition and asked where Lu Jinlang went back in the evening.

  Lu Jinlang looked at Wen Jianing.

  Wen Jianing said, “Let’s go to the Beiao garden.”

  Lu Yunan drove them there and left.

  Lu Jinlang sat on the big sofa in the living room on the first floor and sighed, “You really like this house?”

  Wen Jianing went to the kitchen to pour water for him. “What’s the problem?”

  Lu Jinlang shook his head. In fact, he had a lot of questions, but he didn’t intend to ask.

  When Wen Jianing poured the water out and handed the glass to Lu Jinlang, Lu Jinlang grabbed his wrist, turned over and pinned him on the sofa.

  ”The water!” Wen Jianing wailed about the water cup knocked over by Lu Jinlang.

  ”It doesn’t matter,” Lu Jinlang said softly, and kissed Jianing’s lips.

  Wen Jianing had to put the water cup aside, raised his hand and hugged Lu Jinlang, and his fingers sinking into his hair.

  He knew that now there was an atmosphere of love between Lu Jinlang and him. It was precisely because they have lost and regained it. It became especially beautiful.

  Lu Jinlang rubbed his lips with his finger and asked, “Are you planning to take the time to visit Wen Lin’s set?”

  Wen Jianing nodded, “I want to see what his situation is now.”

  Lu Jinlang said, “It is not convenient for me to accompany you.”

  Wen Jianing said, “I understand, I will handle this myself.”

Chapter 62

       Lu Jinlang looked down at Wen Jianing. In fact, he should have thought more carefully and seriously consider the relationship between them and the future they would face, but at this time, he couldn’t think of anything.

  A person he liked, a relationship that he thought he could give up, suddenly turned around at this moment. It was not wishful thinking. Do they really have feelings for each other?

  When Lu Jinlang spoke, his voice was a little hoarse, and he asked, “You are moved?”

       Wen Jianing looked up at him, “I also want to be as sensible as an adult, but I can’t do it. In fact, what I was telling myself the things I said to Yan Ruowei at that time are the things I kept warning myself. I can’t be attracted to you, because I don’t believe you will be serious about me. I try to make myself act like an adult, not to talk about a fruitless love, not to love someone who will not fall in love with me. But if feelings were so easy to control, how can there be so many uncontrollable feelings in the world?”

       “You can’t control it?” Lu Jinlang repeated his words.

  Wen Jianing looked at Lu Jinlang’s lips and once again moved up to kiss him slowly.

  This time, Lu Jinlang didn’t push him away, but raised his arm around his waist and opened his lips to deepen the kiss.

  After the long-awaited kiss, Wen Jianing felt excited physically and emotionally, and his fingertips trembled slightly. He tightly grasped Lu Jinlang’s sleeve with his fingers.

  Lu Jinlang’s kiss then moved to his cheek and ear, full of warmth.

  Wen Jianing felt a little sour for a moment. He felt that he had wasted too much time avoiding Lu Jinlang, but fortunately, they still had a future together.

  But this place was not suitable for them to indulge.

  Lu Jinlang stretched his hands into the hem of Wen Jianing’s clothes and rubbed his soft and smooth waist. He exhaled hot air in Wen Jianing’s ears and said, “Will you come home with me?”

  Wen Jianing buried his head on his shoulders and breathed the smell of Lu Jinlang. He felt very relieved. However, after hearing Lu Jinlang’s question, he hesitated and said, “Will you come back with me?”

  Lu Jinlang did not refuse, and replied, “Okay.”

  Before leaving, Lu Jinlang went to find Xia Yan and asked him to arrange for a nurse to take care of Ke Xinfan and not neglect him.

  Xia Yan said, “Don’t worry, there will be no problems.”

  Lu Jinlang took Wen Jianing’s hand to the parking lot.

  Lu Yunan had been waiting for them in the car, and when he saw the hands held by Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing, he suddenly smiled. These days, Lu Jinlang had always been to the set in his nanny car. After getting in the car, Lu Jinlang deliberately opened the front and rear partitions and asked Lu Yunan, “What are you smiling at?”

  Lu Yunan started the car and said, “I think Mr. Lu won’t lose sleep in the future.”

  Wen Jianing glanced at Lu Jinlang and asked Lu Yunan, “He has insomnia?”

  Lu Yunan said, “He kept waking up in the middle of the night and smoked.”

  Wen Jianing grabbed Lu Jinlang’s hand and tightened it tightly.

  Lu Jinlang smiled and said to Lu Yunan, “Go to Xinhang’s place.”

  Lu Yunan was slightly surprised, “Where the Beiao Garden is?”

  Lu Jinlang said, “Yes.”

  Lu Yunan nodded, “I see.”

  Lu Yunan drove them to the Beiao Garden. Lu Yunan left first and explained that he would come and pick them up to go to the set tomorrow morning.

  Lu Jinlang walked into Wen Jianing’s villa and stood at the door and asked Wen Jianing, “Are you sure you want to invite me to stay with you for the night?”

  Wen Jianing walked in, closed the door, and said, “It’s not the first day you spent the night here.”

  ”It’s different,” Lu Jinlang said, “Wen Jianing died in the bedroom upstairs. You asked me to sleep there with you. To be honest, I feel a little uncomfortable.”

  Wen Jianing hugged him from behind, “Do you think Wen Jianing will see?”

  Lu Jinlang smiled, “I haven’t thought about it yet.”

  Wen Jianing went on to say, “Do you care about being watched by him?”

  Lu Jinlang asked back, “Do you care?”

  Wen Jianing said softly, “I don’t care, and he won’t care.”

  Lu Jinlang grabbed his wrist, pulled Wen Jianing in front of him, embraced his waist and kissed him hard.

  Wen Jianing raised his arm around his shoulder.

  Then Lu Jinlang put his hands around his waist and picked him up. Wen Jianing lost his balance for a moment, hugged Lu Jinlang’s shoulder and clamped his legs around his waist.

  Lu Jinlang smiled and said to him, “Should I carry you upstairs?”

  Wen Jianing couldn’t help but say, “You are already too old, can you carry me?”

  Lu Jinlang didn’t say a word, but smiled lightly and carried Wen Jianing to the second floor. After they entered the bedroom, he threw him on the bed and embraced him.

  The entire room was filled with eager and ambiguous passion.

  Lu Jinlang told Wen Jianing that he would feel uncomfortable doing this kind of thing with him in this bedroom, but there seemed to be no hesitation in his actions. After the two were separated, they had been living a life of abstinence. By this time, they were really indulging in their desire with no restraint.

  In the heat of the moment, Wen Jianing almost scratched the palm of his hand. Lu Jinlang stretched out his fingers and asked him to hold on to them. He bent his fingers and grasped tightly on Lu Jinlang’s shoulders.

  After the enthusiasm passed, Wen Jianing was extremely exhausted, but he was still feeling excited. His breathing was not steady for a long time, and he turned his head to see Lu Jinlang looking at him.

  Wen Jianing asked, “Aren’t you afraid of being seen by Wen Jianing?”

  Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his sweaty hair and told him, “I don’t believe that there are ghosts in this world, so I am not afraid of ghosts.”

  Wen Jianing got closer to him, put his face on his shoulder, and said, “What if I say Wen Jianing is still alive in this world?”

  Lu Jinlang still stroked him tenderly, but said, “Do you have to talk about him at this time?”

  Wen Jianing whispered, “You don’t like him?”

  Lu Jinlang denied, “I don’t dislike him, but I don’t like you talking about him.”

  Wen Jianing grabbed his hand, and he felt that Lu Jinlang was not very happy that he mentioned the word一Wen Jianing. In this situation where he had just had the most intimate contact with his body, he almost had the impulse to tell Lu Jinlang of his identity, but when he thought of how Lu Jinlang might react, he felt that he should not be hasty. After thinking for a while, he said, “You don’t need to be upset when I mentioned him. He is different from you. You’re the only person I’ve ever loved.”

  The word “only” seemed to have touched Lu Jinlang. He stared at Wen Jianing and asked after a while, “The only one?”

  Wen Jianing nodded, “None before, and never after. You are the only one to me.”

  He explained to Lu Jinlang his feelings for him over and over again. Now that he had taken this step, he hoped to do his best to maintain this relationship. Just like those three words he said to Lu Jinlang, it was the first time he had this emotion of grasping a person firmly. So he didn’t want any distance between them.

  Tonight’s emotions looked like a sudden outburst, but Wen Jianing knew that was not the case. This was the accumulation of emotions over a long period of time. He thought over and over again about how to deal with this relationship for a long time, and even wondered more than once whether it was necessary to give up. But what Lu Jinlang said to Ke Xinfan completely moved him. This was not only love but also respect, which might be even more touching to him than saying I love you.

  Ke Xinfan had been saying that Ke Xinhang had low-esteem and was sensitive. In fact, how could he not be? No normal man with a body like that could avoid that inferiority complex. What he needed was not only protection but also the respect of a lover.

  He knew that once he missed Lu Jinlang, he might not be able to meet such a person again, whether it was a man or a woman.

  Lu Jinlang reached out and hugged him, letting him lean in his arms.

  Wen Jianing said softly, “Have you thought about our future?”

  Lu Jinlang stroked his smooth back with his palm, “I thought about it, it won’t be any different from now.”

  Ke Xinhang had no parents anymore and Ke Xinfan couldn’t interfere with his private life, while Wen Cuilan didn’t know his identity. There would be no obstacle to what kind of life he chose. However, Lu Jinlang was different. There was still a big family behind Lu Jinlang, and he was from a prominent family.

  But since Lu Jinlang said that he had thought about it, Wen Jianing didn’t intend to ask any more questions. He believed Lu Jinlang was able to properly handle the relationship between him and his family.

  The next morning, Wen Jianing woke up in Lu Jinlang’s arms. He felt Lu Jinlang wanted to get up, so he hugged him tightly not to let him leave.

  Lu Jinlang reached out and touched his head, and said, “Get up, go take a shower, don’t you still want to go to the hospital to see your elder brother?”

  Wen Jianing pressed his face to Lu Jinlang’s chest and took a deep breath.

  Lu Jinlang said to him, “I’ll put the water on for you, take your time getting up.”

  Wen Jianing’s heart felt hurt and swollen. This thing was the most memorable thing in this life, how could he be willing to let it go in the past?

  When he took a bath, Wen Jianing felt that his back was aching. Even though he was in his early twenties, his body could not bear to be tossed about so much. What’s more, he was originally disabled and felt a little pain in his lower body.

  After he came out of the bathroom, Lu Jinlang changed his clothes and said to him, “I asked Yunan to buy some breakfast to eat later. You can go to the hospital first before going to the set.”

  When he arrived at the hospital, Ke Xinfan was already awake, sitting on the bed and asking the nurse to help him with the infusion.

  Wen Jianing stood at the door watching him.

  When the nurses were all out, Ke Xinfan looked up at Wen Jianing and said, “Look at you. You look like you’ve been fvcked by a man!”

  Wen Jianing was not angry, but just asked, “Do you feel better?”

  Because the other party didn’t argue with him, Ke Xinfan seemed to think it was meaningless and replied, “It’s not painful anymore.”

  Wen Jianing then said, “Have a rest, I will come to see you this afternoon.”

  ”Wait.” When he saw Wen Jianing turning to leave, Ke Xinfan suddenly stopped him, “I want to go home to sweep our parent’s grave.”

  Wen Jianing was stunned for a moment. He knew that Ke Xinhang’s parents had passed away, but because he had never met them face to face in the past, he really couldn’t say if he had certain feelings about them. He never thought of going back to see it once.

  Ke Xinfan continued, “Go back with me.”

  Wen Jianing had no reason to refuse Ke Xinfan’s request. He was silent for a moment and said, “When you are discharged from the hospital, I will see if I can arrange a time.”

  Ke Xinfan sarcastically said, “Big stars are so busy, huh? They can’t spare time to pay respect to their parents.”

  Wen Jianing ignored him, turned and left.

  The scene filmed today was the scene when the boy Yuan Xu played by Wen Jianing just returned to the countryside to meet his seriously ill father. Because he came back suddenly, the relatives of the family squeezed into the room with him, including his cousin Yuan Sheng, who stood by the door with a sullen face and looked at him.

  Since Jian Jun was tall, just standing by the door with his hands on his chest, gives people feelings of oppression.

  Wen Jianing crossed the threshold to enter the house. He saw Jian Jun standing next to him, and took a step back subconsciously. When he raised his foot to cross the threshold, he accidentally tripped.

  The consequences of their excessive indulgence last night were manifested at this time. Wen Jianing had only been tripped lightly, but his waist was sore and his whole body could not stand firmly. He fell forward and knelt on the ground.

  All the people around him came to help.

  Jian Jun also hurriedly came to help him but found a clear hickey in the collar of his neck.

  It was left by Lu Jinlang when he entered him from behind last night. Lu Jinlang actually has been very careful about it. If it were not for Jian Jun looking from this angle, it wouldn’t be easily found out.

  Jian Jun was slightly startled.

  When eating at noon, Wen Tinghuan held the lunch in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and said to Wen Jianing, “Look at you looking s/utty like that.”

  Jian Jun was drinking from a mineral water bottle when he spat out a mouthful of water.

  Wen Jianing glanced at Wen Tinghuan and said, “Don’t talk nonsense.” Then he raised his hand and patted Jian Jun’s back and said, “Eat slowly, don’t worry.”

  Wen Tinghuan said, “Why are you pretending? I saw who brought you here this morning. I have been with you for so long, and I know what shit you are going to do when you flaunt your ass.”

  Wen Jianing felt a little helpless, and smiled, “Ting jie, can you be more civilized when eating? Girls shouldn’t be so vulgar.”

  Wen Tinghuan whispered, “I’m past the age of a girl.”

  Wen Jianing then exclaimed, “Beautiful lady then. Can I call you this?”

  Wen Tinghuan just smiled.

  Only Jian Jun was confused.

  After eating, Wen Tinghuan took the lunch and threw it away. After passing by Lu Jinlang’s nanny car, he saw the door open. Lu Jinlang sat in front of the car while eating while talking to a young woman.

  That woman was the actor in this play, playing Yuan Xu’s cousin, whose name was Zhao Qin.

  Zhao Qin seemed to deliberately take the lunch box and came to Lu Jinlang’s side, and sat with him for a meal.

  Wen Tinghuan glanced at them from a distance, returned to Wen Jianing, and said in a low voice, “There are enemies ahead. Go and watch over your man.”

  Wen Jianing sat up straight and looked in Jian Jun’s direction first. Jian Jun was probably sleepy after eating. He had closed his eyes and fell asleep on the recliner. He probably didn’t hear their conversation.

  Then he whispered to Wen Tinghuan, “Ting jie, you said it so Jian Jun heard, right?”

  Wen Tinghuan said, “Do you think you can keep it from Jian Jun? This kid looks dull, but he knows everything. You don’t have to be wary of him. Your Ting jie has no other skills but she can still judge people accurately. “

  Wen Jianing turned his head to look at Jian Jun and helped him put the clothes that had slipped down on his chest.

  Wen Tinghuan said, “Now can you tell me how you reconcile? And did your brother run away? Why didn’t he show up for two days?”

  Wen Jianing really didn’t dare to let Jian Jun hear these things. He asked Wen Tinghuan to avoid Jian Jun knowing and said to her, “Lu Jinlang hurt my brother.”

  Wen Tinghuan’s eyes widened.

  Wen Jianing said, “The matter has been dealt with, you don’t need to worry.”

  Wen Tinghuan asked, “Did he threaten you?”

  Wen Jianing shook his head, “Don’t worry about this, Lu Jinlang and I will solve it.”

  Wen Tinghuan smiled when he heard the words, and bumped him, “Did you figure it out?”

  Wen Jianing felt a little funny, “Ting jie, why does it feel like you are going to marry off your daughter?”

  Wen Tinghuan said, “I’m not blaming you but I’m still praying for your happiness. You said you can’t be with a woman, so find a good man. As long as he treats you well, you’ll be happy for a lifetime.”

  Wen Jianing was suddenly moved because he felt that Wen Tinghuan was really good to him. As a professional agent, Wen Tinghuan might not be as professional at work as Zheng Xin. Because she was a woman, it was easier to be more emotional after being together for a long time, and it blurred the distinction between the public and private. But for the artist, it was not a bad thing to be able to meet such an agent who thought about himself wholeheartedly.

  For a moment, he couldn’t help feeling emotional. He opened his arms and hugged Wen Tinghuan.

  Wen Tinghuan patted him on the back and said, “Sometimes you really feel like my son.”

  Wen Jianing said with a smile, “You’re not like my mother.”

  At this time, Zhao Qin passed by not far from them. When she saw Wen Jianing hugging Wen Tinghuan, she was surprised and said “ah” gently. Then she quickly covered her mouth and walked away to the side. She obviously misunderstood.

  Wen Tinghuan looked at Zhao Qin and said to Wen Jianing, “This is the one, just saw her hitting on Lu Jinlang.”

  Wen Jianing smiled.

  Wen Tinghuan asked him, “You don’t worry at all, do you?”

  Wen Jianing whispered to Wen Tinghuan, “If I’m right, Lu Jinlang is not good with women either.”

  Wen Tinghuan shook her head, “All the good men have gone.”

  When the two finished talking, Wen Tinghuan went to the next corner to answer the phone.

  Wen Jianing went back to his small recliner and sat down. He lowered his head and played with his mobile phone for a while.

  Jian Jun opened his eyes next to him. From this angle, he just saw Wen Jianing’s back neck. Wen Jianing lowered his head, revealing a piece of fair skin. Jian Jun subconsciously went to find the hickey on the back of Wen Jianing’s neck, but he couldn’t see it from this angle.

  After the shooting ended in the afternoon, Wen Jianing waited for Lu Jinlang to finish work and go to the hospital together.

  As a result, he saw Zhao Qin walking up to Lu Jinlang and talking to him from a distance. After a while, a middle-aged man came over, introduced by Zhao Qin and shook hands with Lu Jinlang.

  Wen Tinghuan was planning to send Jian Jun back. When she saw Wen Jianing staring far in Lu Jinlang’s direction, she walked over and said, “What?”

  Wen Jianing asked her, “Who is that person?”

  Wen Tinghuan took a closer look, and said, “Oh, he seemed to be a movie investor, whose surname is Wang.”

  After she finished speaking, Wen Jianing saw the producer Ji Mingcheng walk over and shook hands with the investor surnamed Wang. Then Lu Jinlang said something to Lu Yunan next to him.

  Lu Yunan walked toward Wen Jianing and the others, and said, “Tonight Boss Wang wants to treat us. He would like to invite the main creators of the film to dinner. Xinhang, you and Jian Jun will go together.”

Chapter 61

       Wen Jianing was very thankful that at this time there were only a few of them left in the studio, and there was no one else. Now as long as Ke Xinfan’s mouth was sealed, there would be no more trouble.

  But Lu Jinlang’s kick had injured Ke Xinfan quite badly. The lower abdomen was the softest part of the body, and after he was sent to the hospital for an examination, surprisingly Ke Xinfan was sent to the operating room.

       Xia Yan said he had a ruptured omentum in his abdomen and a haemorrhage in the abdomen, and he needed to undergo surgery.

  Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing were sitting outside the operating room and waiting.

  Wen Jianing said to Lu Jinlang, “No one saw it at the scene. If someone must be held accountable, I will say that I kicked him.”

  Lu Jinlang turned his head to look at him, and calmly said, “Are you kidding?” After he finished speaking, he put one hand on the back of Wen Jianing’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, it can be solved.”

       Wen Jianing said, “Let’s call Ting jie.” This kind of thing should always be known to the company so they could prepare a countermeasure.

  Unexpectedly Lu Jinlang said, “You don’t need to do anything, I will solve this matter. I’ll explain it to Bai Shengzhe.”

  Wen Jianing heard Lu Jinlang’s words and couldn’t tell how he felt in his heart. He just sighed, “You can’t protect me like this for the rest of your life.”

       Lu Jinlang said, “I can. I just want to protect you for the rest of my life. As long as I, Lu Jinlang is alive, I won’t let anyone have the opportunity to make things difficult for you.”

  Wen Jianing was a little startled when he heard the words, and looked straight at Lu Jinlang.

  Lu Jinlang then said, “As long as you are willing.” He was not afraid of any obstacles. The only thing he cared about was that Wen Jianing himself refused to accept him.

  By this time the operation was almost over and the operating room began to finish things up, Xia Yan had already come out first to explain the situation to Lu Jinlang. This was a simple minor operation with the purpose of exploring whether there were other organ injuries in the abdominal cavity, and then sewing the fissure of the greater omentum to stop the blood.

  Ke Xinfan was sent back to the ward. The anaesthesia had not completely subsided, and he was not too awake.

  When he saw Ke Xinfan lying on the hospital bed, Wen Jianing suddenly felt a little sorry. In fact, when Ke Xinfan rushed in and accused Lu Jinlang loudly, Wen Jianing began to suspect that he might have misunderstood the relationship between the two brothers, Ke Xinfan and Ke Xinhang. They might not be too intimate and warm, but it didn’t mean that they didn’t have brotherly feelings.

  The real Ke Xinhang was sensitive and arrogant. Even if he was favoured by Lu Jinlang, he would definitely not compromise, let alone develop a relationship with Lu Jinlang to this point.

  That was why Ke Xinfan was so surprised and felt so incomprehensible.

  Wen Jianing sat down beside the hospital bed, and in the corridor outside the ward, Lu Jinlang was still talking to Xia Yan. Wen Jianing also had to admit that he felt very relieved with Lu Jinlang by his side.

  This feeling was actually very strange. Many years ago, when he thought about finding a woman to form a family, and thought that he should be a woman’s support in the future. However, he never thought that one day he would become dependent on a man.

  In fact, it didn’t feel bad, on the contrary, he couldn’t help feeling a little addicted, and couldn’t bear to let go.

  Wen Jianing sat on the chair and saw Ke Xinfan on the bed move slightly. At this moment, he suddenly felt pity for Ke Xinfan. No matter what he felt for Ke Xinhang, Ke Xinhang was no longer there.

  Ke Xinfan opened his eyes and looked at him.

  Wen Jianing asked him, “Are you all right?”

  Ke Xinfan said weakly, “Call the police.”

  Wen Jianing looked at him and said word by word, “You have no evidence, you fell by yourself.”

  Ke Xinfan laughed when he heard the words, and then slowly closed his eyes.

  At this time, Lu Jinlang walked in and stood by the bed and asked him, “Are you okay?”

  Ke Xinfan said, “Should I kick you?”

  Lu Jinlang laughed and said to him, “You can mention any compensation you want. By the way, you can also mention any requirements you have for Xinhang. I promise to compensate you.”

  Ke Xinfan opened his eyes and looked at him, and said, “That’s my little brother.”

  Lu Jinlang said solemnly, “I didn’t see that you regarded him as your brother.”

  Ke Xinfan snorted coldly, perhaps because of the wound, he showed a painful expression for a moment.

  Lu Jinlang said to him, “You better rest first. If you have anything to say, you can find me at any time.” With that, he patted Wen Jianing on the shoulder, “You also go back and have a rest. There’s still a shooting tomorrow. I asked Xia Yan to hire a nurse to take care of him.”

  Wen Jianing glanced at Ke Xinfan and found that he was looking at him. He hesitated and said, “I will stay here tonight.”

  Ke Xinfan seemed to be more relieved, he leaned back and closed his eyes.

  Lu Jinlang didn’t force him, turned and left the ward.

  Wen Jianing sat in the ward for a while. A nurse opened the door and came in. He then sat down next to the hospital bed.

  Ke Xinfan on the bed seemed to be asleep and snored slightly.

  After a while, Xia Yan came over and patted Wen Jianing on the shoulder, and asked him to go outside with him. In the corridor, Xia Yan told Wen Jianing that before Lu Jinlang left, he asked him to prepare a lounge for him to go to sleep.

  Wen Jianing thanked him, and after hesitating, he went to the lounge and slept. He went back to Ke Xinfan’s ward at dawn. Ke Xinfan was already awake and was asking the nurse to help him raise the bed slightly.

  Wen Jianing said to him, “I’m going to the set. Have a good rest.”

  Ke Xinfan looked at him, did not stop, just raised his hand, and said, “Remember to come back this afternoon. We haven’t finished our business yet.”

  Wen Jianing said, “Don’t worry, you have a good rest.”

  During the whole day of shooting, Wen Jianing was not very focused. Although he could perform smoothly with experience, Lu Jinlang could clearly distinguish Wen Jianing’s absent-mindedness from the monitor screen. Because he always froze from time to time when his emotions changed.

  This made even Jian Jun, who was working with him, suddenly feel a bit at loss.

  For a long time, Jian Jun felt that it was easy to act with Wen Jianing, and Wen Jianing would take the lead. However, now even Wen Jianing couldn’t focus on his role, let alone Jian Jun.

  So Lu Jinlang called to stop and let them rest.

  Jian Jun hesitated and asked Wen Jianing, “Xinhang ge, are you okay?”

  Wen Jianing looked at him, “What?”

  Jian Jun shook his head. He just noticed that Wen Jianing was not in a good mood, but he didn’t know what the reason was, and it wasn’t good to ask in detail.

  Wen Tinghuan watched the two of them filming.

  When Wen Jianing walked over, she asked strangely, “Where is Ke Xinfan? Why haven’t I seen him in the past two days?”

  Wen Jianing said, “There’s something going on.”

  Wen Tinghuan was instantly upset and felt that the company paid Ke Xinfan a salary, and it was not for him to slack off his work. And in this way, there was no one around Wen Jianing to help him.

  Wen Jianing knew why Wen Tinghuan was upset, he told her, “I’m fine, don’t worry about me.”

  Wen Tinghuan said, “Wait for me when you leave in the afternoon, I will send you both back.”

  Wen Jianing nodded.

  However, he didn’t let Wen Tinghuan send him back in the afternoon. Instead, Lu Yunan drove the car and went to the hospital with Lu Jinlang to see Ke Xinfan.

  Ke Xinfan seemed to be much better in spirit. He was able to sit on the bed and talk to Wen Jianing and the others soberly.

  There were only three of them left in the entire ward.

  Lu Jinlang said calmly, “Mr. Ke, can we talk now?”

  Ke Xinfan also seemed calm at this time, but what he said was not very pleasant. He said, “You have laid your hands on my little brother, and only now you think about talking to me?”

  Wen Jianing said, “Please be respectful.”

  Ke Xinfan looked at Wen Jianing with a puzzled expression, “I really didn’t expect you to fall to this level. You weren’t like this before.”

  Lu Jinlang said before Wen Jianing, “I don’t have that kind of relationship with him, and you don’t have the right to interfere.”

  Ke Xinfan was stunned for a moment, and asked with wide-eyed eyes, “You are not an unspoken rules* with him? Is it possible to have a serious relationship with him?”

  As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang looked at each other.

  Ke Xinfan looked at them and suddenly laughed loudly. When he laughed, he pulled the wound and couldn’t help but yelled loudly. He said, “You are in love with him. Do you know my brother is a eunuch? Do you like him? Seriously?”

  Wen Jianing surged up with anger, but didn’t show it, just stared at him coldly.

  Lu Jinlang stopped him, “Since it’s your brother,  you’d better speak with some respect.”

  Ke Xinfan was still laughing, and his tears were about to flow out.

  Wen Jianing didn’t know how Ke Xinfan got along with his brother in the past, but when he heard Ke Xinfan’s familiar insults, he felt that his anger almost turned into hatred.

  At this time, Lu Jinlang held Wen Jianing’s hand, and he said to Ke Xinfan, “Do you think it is ridiculous that your brother is physically disabled?”

  Ke Xinfan even asked, “Does he have normal functions?”

  Wen Jianing suddenly calmed down after Lu Jinlang held his hand. He said to himself, why should he be angry? There was no need to be angry at an irrelevant person.

  Lu Jinlang replied calmly, “He do. Do you care about your brother’s sex life? You can ask any questions.”

  But Ke Xinfan suddenly felt that it was not fun anymore, and he tilted his head back.

  Lu Jinlang continued, “He can do everything, except that he can’t do it with women. He is no different from ordinary men. What do you mean by saying these things? To humiliate him? So you can feel superior after you humiliate him? To put it bluntly, except that your d1ck is a little bigger than him, what can you compare with him? You have been living with it for the rest of your life, right?”

  These words were a bit vulgar, and Wen Jianing couldn’t help holding Lu Jinlang’s hand tightly. Since entering Ke Xinhang’s body, he had experienced many things, but what he couldn’t face most was his physical deformity. It was his achilles heels, and would kill him at the slightest pinch. However, Lu Jinlang now said lightly that people do not live for their lower part. He became sentimental, and too many emotions were coming up all at once.

  Ke Xinfan looked at the hands they were holding. He was not saying anything for a while, and said, “Forget it.”

  Wen Jianing took a deep breath. He tried to calm his emotions, and then asked Ke Xinfan, “Now, can you tell me what you actually came back for? I know that something happened to you on a construction site in another place. You owe money and are chased? Are you coming back to hide from the debt?”

  Ke Xinfan said coldly, “Do you get someone to check up on me?”

  Wen Jianing kept holding Lu Jinlang’s hand and did not let go. He said, “You suddenly appeared like this, what do you think I should think of you?”

  Ke Xinfan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He asked Wen Jianing, “Is it unexpected that your big brother just wants to come to visit?”

  Wen Jianing asked him, “You take me as your brother? You treat your brother with those vicious words?”

  Ke Xinfan was silent for a moment before he said, “You have changed. You are not like the old you.”

  Lu Jinlang asked him, “How much do you owe? I’ll pay it back for you.”

  Wen Jianing suddenly grabbed Lu Jinlang’s arm, “Why do you want to pay it back?” Even if it is money, it should be between him and Ke Xinfan.

  Lu Jinlang said to Wen Jianing, “I am your boss, have you forgotten? If the company can’t solve their artist’s problem. What kind of company do I run?”

  Ke Xinfan said gloomily at this time, “I never said that I want you to help me pay off my debt.”

  Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang looked at each other, not knowing what Ke Xinfan was planning.

  Lu Jinlang said to him, “You can think about it slowly, but there is one thing I advise you not to do. You know, once you reveal something about Xinhang’s body, you won’t get any benefits and it’s not cost-effective to keep discrediting your brother. “

  Ke Xinfan sneered, “Are you threatening me?”

  Lu Jinlang said, “Sort of, do you feel threatened?”

  Ke Xinfan just sneered and didn’t say anything.

  Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang came out of Ke Xinfan’s ward.

  Wen Jianing said, “I really don’t know what Ke Xinfan wants anymore.”

  Lu Jinlang said, “Don’t worry, as long as he asks for something, there’s nothing to be afraid of. What’s most frightening is that he doesn’t want to ask for anything, and just wants to make trouble for you.”

  ”There are such perverts in this world?” Wen Jianing couldn’t help asking.

  Lu Jinlang smiled, “There are all kinds of people in this world.”

  Wen Jianing stopped, and suddenly asked him, “Are you also going to the lounge?”

  Lu Jinlang said strangely, “Still not going back tonight?”

  Wen Jianing did not answer, and said, “I want to invite you to sit.”

  Lu Jinlang was puzzled, but he didn’t refuse Wen Jianing. He followed Wen Jianing into the lounge. Before he had time to turn on the light, Wen Jianing closed the room door with his backhand, hugged Lu Jinlang’s shoulder and kissed his lips.

  He felt very emotional now because the words Lu Jinlang said to Ke Xinfan before almost made him tremble. He considered a lot about the two of them together. In fact, he has no confidence in just how far the sentence I love you and you love me could go.

  But at this moment, he could feel that Lu Jinlang had more to offer him than just an I love you sentence. Those more things made him excited and unable to control himself at this moment, and he felt that he should not continue to hold back.

  However, before the kiss deepened, Lu Jinlang pulled away from him slightly.

  Lu Jinlang put his hand on the back of his neck and said, “I know why you are excited, but I hope you can sort out your emotions and don’t be impulsive.”

  ”Lu Jinlang,” Wen Jianing asked him, “You said you couldn’t control your heart. Is it true or false?”

  Lu Jinlang said after a short silence, “Of course it is the truth.”

  ”Good,” Wen Jianing said, “Now the decision is to be given back to you. I said I am also moved. It’s up to you whether you believe it or not. It’s up to you whether you accept it or not. I’m waiting for your answer.”


The author has something to say:
The genitals mentioned in the article are pure genitals. There is no special meaning. What problems do the reviewers think?**
I didn’t say that there will be double updates for five consecutive days! Don’t spread rumors!


*Unspoken rules is usually ones that codify improper behaviors such as leveraging guanxi(networks/relationships) to get favorable treatment, or coercing employees for sexual favors
**The d1ck was supposed to be genitalia (I changed it to fit the situation), the author chapter was locked for a some time because of the words

Chapter 60

        The next morning, Ke Xinfan came on time to pick up Wen Jianing to the set.

        Wen Jianing got in the car and heard Ke Xinfan ask him, “Have you had breakfast?”

        He shook his head.

  Ke Xinfan said, “Oh, I haven’t eaten either.”

  On the way, Ke Xinfan stopped and bought two steamed buns, got in the car and threw one to Wen Jianing.

  Wen Jianing was just about to say thank you when he heard Ke Xinfan say, “Remember to pay me back.”

  He swallowed the thanks immediately.

        When he arrived on the set, Wen Jianing found that Lu Jinlang had always been the first to come. He probably didn’t get to sleep much because the work finished late at night, but at this time he was already discussing the position of the camera with the cameraman.

  When Lu Jinlang saw him coming, he turned his head to look at him and didn’t say anything. He then turned his head to continue talking to the photographer.

  Last night, Wen Jianing seemed to have a dream. He dreamed of Lu Jinlang. During this period of time, his whole body seemed to be a little irritable. Maybe it had been too long since he had masturbated, he could still remember the feeling of Lu Jinlang touching his body in the dream very clearly.

  He sat in the dressing room and stared at himself in the mirror in a daze.

  After all those experiences with women in the past, it seemed that he couldn’t remember all of those women now. He could only remember Lu Jinlang as if he had only been with Lu Jinlang in his entire life. And in the future, apart from Lu Jinlang, he probably wouldn’t have anyone other than Lu Jinlang in the future, would he?

  ”Xinhang? Xinhang?” The makeup artist called him several times, and he suddenly came back to his senses, “It’s already done,” the makeup artist told him.

  Wen Jianing looked at himself in the mirror and he saw that he had become a childish college student again.

  Almost all the interior scenes were set up in the studio, Lu Jinlang found someone to build materials in detail, and then made arrangements in person.

  Such a film was undoubtedly expensive, but as the first film directed by Lu Jinlang, Wen Jianing felt that he could understand his mentality of pursuing perfection.

  Most of his scenes were with Jian Jun, and there was no female lead.

  Yuan Xu’s body was slow to recover from heatstroke. Yuan Sheng found someone from somewhere to cook a bowl of Chinese medicine for Yuan Xu and let him drink it. At first, Yuan Xu saw the black medicine bowl and wanted to refuse, but Yuan Sheng said that drinking this was good for his health and that he must drink it.

  Yuan Sheng was originally a local ruffian, and Yuan Xu was a little afraid of him at first. At this time, he reluctantly drank it and wrinkled his face in pain.

  In such a scene, Wen Jianing was forced to drink a few bowls of Coke, and Lu Jinlang somehow felt dissatisfied.

  When he put down the bowl, Wen Jianing turned his head to see Lu Jinlang lowering his head to ponder.

  Today a reporter came to visit the set. The camera lens was shooting Lu Jinlang. He slightly raised his head and looked in the direction of the light. The side profile of the face was perfect like a painting.

  While they took a rest at noon, Wen Jianing saw Wen Tinghuan rushing over, and without even saying hello to him and Jian Jun, she went straight in Lu Jinlang’s direction.

  Wen Jianing knew that Wen Tinghuan must have found out something about Ke Xinfan.

  Today, Ke Xinfan drove him here. Instead of waiting for him on the set, he said that something happened and drove away. He asked Wen Jianing to call him before he finished work, and he would come back to pick him up.

  Wen Jianing did not complain about his irresponsible behaviour, and let him leave.

  Later, Lu Jinlang noticed that there was no one beside Wen Jianing, and asked Lu Yunan to help him for a while.

  When he saw Wen Tinghuan and Lu Jinlang talking, Wen Jianing walked over and sat down beside them.

  Wen Tinghuan glanced at him.

  Wen Jianing said, “What? I can’t listen?”

  Wen Tinghuan ignored him and continued to say to Lu Jinlang, “Ke Xinfan previously worked as a contractor on site. I heard that a worker died in an accident and in addition, he also lost hundreds of thousands of yuan. There are people coming to him for trouble. He couldn’t stand it and ran off.”

  Lu Jinlang asked her, “Who’s trying to stir up trouble with him?”

  Wen Tinghuan shook her head, “I don’t know, it is said that the incident has offended someone in the local area. He needed to pay a lot of money to sweep this incident under the rug and to compensate the victim’s family. He has suffered a huge financial loss but he still has to return to pay the other worker’s salary.”

  Lu Jinlang frowned, “And you guys still dare to hire him? Are you not afraid of causing trouble?”

  Wen Tinghuan took a look at Wen Jianing this time, “In the beginning, we didn’t know the situation, but Xinhang has the final say.”

  Wen Jianing saw Lu Jinlang also watching him, and he hesitated and said to Wen Tinghuan, “Ting jie, I have something to say to Director Lu alone.”

  Wen Tinghuan said unhappily, “I can’t listen? You thankless rascal!” Despite her words, she stood up and walked in the direction of Jian Jun next to her.

  Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang were left alone.

  Wen Jianing said, “He is my brother. He knows the condition of my body. Right now he will mention it intentionally or unintentionally. I don’t know if he is using this to threaten me.”

  Lu Jinlang said solemnly, “What is his purpose? Money?”

  Wen Jianing shook his head, then smiled again, “He didn’t say, but I don’t know what he wants except money.”

  Lu Jinlang said, “He stays by your side like a  time bomb, what do you plan to do with him?”

  After a short silence, Wen Jianing said, “Talk to him.”

  Lu Jinlang told him, “You will become his ATM.”

  It was not that Wen Jianing didn’t understand, but he couldn’t think of other ways besides killing Ke Xinfan that could make Ke Xinfan shut up forever. As for murder, the entertainment industry was complicated, but after all, he was not a triad, he couldn’t do this kind of thing. What’s more, currently Ke Xinfan hadn’t threatened him.

  Seeing Wen Jianing’s silence, Lu Jinlang suddenly reached out and touched his head, “I’ll go talk to him.”

  Wen Jianing quickly said, “No.”

  Lu Jinlang looked at him, waiting for him to explain why.

  Wen Jianing said, “Don’t let it bother you, it’s my own business.”

  Lu Jinlang asked him, “Does my concern trouble you?”

  Wen Jianing shook his head, “I didn’t mean that, but I don’t want things to become more complicated.”

  Lu Jinlang heard this and said nothing.

  Today’s shooting ended early. Wen Tinghuan left early in the afternoon, and the company sent another car to pick up Jian Jun. Wen Jianing didn’t call Ke Xinfan. When he changed clothes in the dressing room, he sat down a little tiredly and leaned his head against the wall. He accidentally fell asleep.

  After only sleeping for more than ten minutes, Wen Jianing suddenly woke up and heard that there was no sound outside. It seemed that he was the only one left.

  After getting dressed in a hurry, Wen Jianing came out and planned to go out and take a taxi home. But he found that there were still lights in the nearby studio, and there seemed to be the sound of someone walking around.

  Wen Jianing walked in and found that the person inside was Lu Jinlang, while Lu Yunan stood beside him waiting for him. When Lu Yunan saw Wen Jianing coming in, he made a silent gesture, and then withdrew by himself.

  After he stood in place for a while, Wen Jianing walked in the direction of Lu Jinlang.

  Lu Jinlang sat on the bed used for shooting, closed his eyes and Wen Jianing wondered what he was thinking.

  For this drama, Wen Jianing felt that Lu Jinlang’s pressure was a little bit heavy, and he didn’t even understand why Lu Jinlang put such pressure on himself.

  He walked up to Lu Jinlang and sat down.

  Lu Jinlang opened his eyes and asked after seeing him, “Why haven’t you left?”

  Wen Jianing asked back, “What about you? Why haven’t you left yet.”

  Lu Jinlang said, “I’m thinking about tomorrow’s shooting.”

  Wen Jianing sighed suddenly, “Why do you put so much pressure on yourself?”

  Lu Jinlang turned his head and looked at him, “Because this is what I owe you. What I promised you were originally not just the male lead of any movie. I hope this movie can meet your requirements.”

  Wen Jianing was a little dazed.

  He was also watching Lu Jinlang. He knew that this man liked him and was willing to invest in him. Although Lu Jinlang was the first to step back, they would not be like this if they were willing to move forward.

  What is he hesitating for?

  ”I……” Wen Jianing wanted to speak.

  But Lu Jinlang said ahead of him and said, “In fact, I actually wonder if I made a wrong decision. Maybe I should invite Fang Wei to be a director. It’s really hard for me to calm down and work with you when you’re moving around in front of me every day like this.”

  Wen Jianing smiled at his words.

  Lu Jinlang asked him, “Did you get excited yesterday?”

  Wen Jianing had no way to avoid such a straightforward question. He simply replied straightforwardly, “Yes, you know, I can’t sleep with anyone except you.”

  Lu Jinlang put his arms on Wen Jianing’s chest and continued to ask, “What if Wen Jianing is still alive?”

  The two of them had a rare opportunity to discuss this issue. Wen Jianing said, “I say it again, you have misunderstood. I didn’t think about Wen Jianing that way.”

  Lu Jinlang obviously didn’t believe it, “If he is still alive, will you be excited if he touches you?”

  Wen Jianing thought this question was a bit funny. He hesitated and replied to Lu Jinlang, “If he is alive, he will never have a chance to touch me.”

  Lu Jinlang looked at him, his expression slightly changed, “Can your feelings and desires be separated?”

  If Wen Jianing said that he could, of course it was a lie. At first, Wen Jianing treated them separately, otherwise, he would not agree to maintain this kind of relationship with Lu Jinlang at the beginning. But by now, it had long been inseparable.

  Wen Jianing didn’t answer directly, but said, “Didn’t you separate it very well? I haven’t forgotten about Yan Ruowei.”

  Lu Jinlang asked him, “You mind? I thought you didn’t mind?”

  Does he mind? Wen Jianing raised his head, looked up at the studio’s ceiling, and told him rationally that he didn’t need to mind, but how could he not mind at all emotionally?

  Lu Jinlang said, “When I was with you, I had been separated from Yan Ruowei for more than a year. Since I was separated from him, I have only done this with you.”

  Wen Jianing looked at him, slightly surprised. He knew that Lu Jinlang’s private life was clean, but he didn’t expect it to be this clean. After Lu Jinlang fell in love with someone, he would only have a fixed relationship with the other person and then stay together. Maybe over time, when he felt the relationship was no longer right, he would break up. But in a sense, it was no different from being a couple.

  Although he didn’t expect it, after he heard Lu Jinlang’s words, Wen Jianing couldn’t help feeling a sweet feeling surged from the bottom of his heart.

  Lu Jinlang continued to ask him, “Have you changed the thoughts you told Yan Ruowei?”

  Wen Jianing looked at Lu Jinlang, but did not answer.

  Lu Jinlang’s eyes were calm and gentle, they shone slightly under the light, and Wen Jianing’s own shadow was reflected in them. Wen Jianing found that his expression was hesitant, and he always inadvertently expressed his own nature in front of Lu Jinlang. He was weak and hesitant, and these parts were parts that need to be concealed. But as long as it was Lu Jinlang, he didn’t care about letting him know.

  Besides his wish to not part with him, Wen Jianing couldn’t think of any other words to describe his feelings for Lu Jinlang. This so-called attachment, in addition to the existence of dependence, there was also love in it.

  Lu Jinlang raised a hand to hold his shoulder, but soon let go. The relationship between the two of them originally developed from that kind of friends with benefits relationship to the present. Unless there was emotional development, Lu Jinlang did not intend to return to the original relationship.

  Wen Jianing looked at him, and said after a long time, “I…”

  Before he finished speaking, someone broke in suddenly.

  At first, both of them thought it was Lu Yunan, but they didn’t expect that the person who broke in was Ke Xinfan. Lu Yunan hurried in from behind to catch Ke Xinfan but failed.

  Ke Xinfan came over angrily, raised his fist to hit Lu Jinlang in the face, and cursed fiercely, “What the fvck! You dare to lay your hands on my little brother?!”

  Lu Jinlang nimbly avoided.

  When Ke Xinfan was about to make a second hit, Wen Jianing blocked him, and Lu Yunan followed and stopped him from behind.

  Ke Xinfan was still yelling, “What the hell! Laying your hands on small actors in the name of making a movie? I will expose you tomorrow and make your reputation plunge!”

  Wen Jianing said loudly, “Shut your mouth! He is my partner!”

  Ke Xinfan was stunned for a moment, and then pointed his finger at Wen Jianing, “No wonder you’ve made it this far! You’ve sold yourself, haven’t you? With the way you are, you can only find men to sleep with and not women, right?”

  As soon as he said that, Lu Jinlang suddenly raised his foot and kicked his lower abdomen. The pain made him cry out, and he immediately curled up on the ground.

  Lu Yunan was taken aback and let him go. He had never seen Lu Jinlang so violent.

  Because they were in front of Lu Yunan, Lu Jinlang didn’t say much. He knelt down and reached out and grabbed Ke Xinfan’s hair, forcing him to raise his head, and then said to him, “Shut your mouth, if I hear you say a word about Xinhang again, I promise you will never be able to speak again in the future.”

  Ke Xinfan’s pupils suddenly shrank. He knew that Lu Jinlang was telling the truth. There were only a few of them here. If the other party really made up his mind to kill him, no one would know. He couldn’t help looking up at Wen Jianing, only to see him put a hand on Lu Jinlang’s shoulder, just looking at Lu Jinlang, and he didn’t look in his direction at all.

  Wen Jianing was preventing Lu Jinlang from doing it. He felt that things had not yet developed to this point, and he didn’t want Ke Xinfan to be anxious. However, Lu Jinlang was obviously angered by the words Ke Xinfan used to talk about his disability.

  Lu Yunan hesitated for a while, and suddenly said, “Mr. Lu, I will go out first.” He instinctively might have something Lu Jinlang didn’t want him to hear.

  Lu Jinlang shook his head. He saw that Ke Xinfan was holding his stomach in pain and it didn’t look like he was pretending, so he squatted on the ground and asked him, “How is it?”

  Ke Xinfan cursed, “fvck! Are you trying to kill me?”

  Wen Jianing also squatted down when he saw this. He saw the cold sweat coming out of Ke Xinfan’s forehead, and quickly asked, “Does it hurts?”

  Ke Xinfan said coldly, “Do you still think of me as your brother?”

  Wen Jianing did not answer his words, but said to Lu Jinlang, “Take him to the hospital.”

  Lu Jinlang said to Lu Yunan, “Go and drive there to Doctor Xia’s side. I’ll give Xia Yan a call.”

  Lu Yunan nodded and ran out immediately.

Chapter 59

       Lu Jinlang looked at Ke Xinfan quietly, and Ke Xinfan was also observing Lu Jinlang brazenly.

       The two of them didn’t have much to say. After a few brief conversations, the assistant director came over and urged Wen Jianing to put on makeup, because reporters were invited to the opening ceremony. At this time, reporters appeared one after another.

       The opening ceremony of the film was not complicated, but before the ceremony was officially held, a reporter was arranged to give a brief interview to Lu Jinlang.

       Lu Jinlang went to see the reporter. Wen Jianing took the time to put on makeup, and Ke Xinfan followed Wen Jianing into the dressing booth.

       By this time Jian Jun had already arrived. He didn’t notice Ke Xinfan, but after seeing Wen Jianing, he stood up and greeted him.

       Wen Jianing nodded, sat down and asked the makeup artist to apply makeup for him.

       The first scene to be shot after the opening ceremony was a very important part of the whole movie. It was the scene when Yuan Xu, played by Wen Jianing, returned to his hometown to visit his seriously ill father. He lay down on the bed with heatstroke, and his cousin Yuan Sheng, who was always cold, took the initiative to show up to take care of him.

       The makeup artist finished Wen Jianing’s makeup. As soon as he stood up, Jian Jun and Ke Xinfan looked at him at the same time. Because it was a scene when he was ill, Wen Jianing with makeup looked pale and frail.

       Lu Jinlang didn’t like complexity. His requirement for the opening ceremony was to be concise and focused. He was not afraid that the reporter would not cover him. He was a film actor who just won an international award, and many media wanted to interview him but couldn’t find the opportunity. In Lu Jinglang’s first directorial work, the main actor was Ke Xinhang, who has just won the Best Newcomer Award at the Academy Awards. This was originally enough of a topic for the gimmicks.

       After the brief opening ceremony, a reporter seized the time to interview Wen Jianing and asked him if he had confidence in Lu Jinlang’s first role as a director.

       Wen Jianing smiled at the camera and said, “Of course I have confidence.”

       The interviewer was a female reporter. After hearing Wen Jianing’s answer, she couldn’t help but ask with curiosity, “Remember that during the Academy Award ceremony, you also supported Lu Jinlang and told him that he should’ve won the Film Emperor title again. Are you guys very close personally?”

       Wen Jianing told reporters, “I can only say that my personal relationship with him will not affect my professional judgment, otherwise I will not take the role.”

       Having said that, the interview was interrupted, and Wen Jianing had to start preparing for the shooting of the first scene.

       Before the shooting started, Wen Tinghuan hurried there. Although she had arranged an assistant for Wen Jianing, she still had one more person under her hand, which naturally makes her busier. And unlike Wen Jianing who already has many things on track. Jian Jun was still a newcomer who needed to start from scratch.

       At the same time, there was another newcomer that was Lu Jinlang. It was his first time to be a director, so it was inevitable that he was more careful and more critical of every job. At this time, he was communicating with the lighting engineer.

       Wen Jianing saw Jian Jun stood aside with a serious expression. Wen Jianing guessed that he might be a little nervous, so he walked over and said, “Relax.”

       Jian Jun nodded.

       When the lights were in place, Lu Jinlang called Wen Jianing and Jian Jun in front of him and asked, “Have you read the script carefully?”

       Wen Jianing didn’t speak, and Jian Jun replied, “Yes”.

       Lu Jinlang said, “Xinhang already knew the effect that I want. Jian Jun, let me explain to you again. You are an introverted middle-aged father. You feel some sort of guilt about your son, but you can’t express it too obviously. “

       Jian Jun hesitated and nodded.

       Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, “Go ahead.”

       In the first take of the first scene, Wen Jianing was lying on the bed, making an uncomfortable moaning sound, his cheeks flushed and his hair was a little moist.

       Yuan Sheng, played by Jian Jun, pushed open the door and walked in quietly. He was expressionless at first, and when he walked to the bed, his eyes began to shine with moisture. He reached out and touched Wen Jianing’s forehead, then went to the table to pour him water.

       Lu Jinlang stared at the monitor, keeping his jaw with one hand unchanged.

       The shooting of the first few shots was relatively smooth, except that he would occasionally comment on some details of Jian Jun’s actions and expressions, but he usually finished in the second or third shot.

       And the only scene that encountered some trouble was the scene where Jian Jun helped Wen Jianing up and took off his shirt to help him wipe his body.

       When Jian Jun took off Wen Jianing’s short-sleeved T-shirt, he was taken aback for a moment.

       Under the light, Wen Jianing’s body looked fragile and beautiful. His skin was delicate and fair, and his skin was soft and shiny. It was the first time that Jian Jun felt uncomfortable with a man’s body.

       Wen Jianing actually also felt uncomfortable. Of course, it was nothing in the past, but after becoming Ke Xinhang, he was used to hiding himself. Although it was only the upper body, he still felt a little unbearable to be watched by so many people besides Lu Jinlang.

       Wen Jianing tried hard to endure it, but the scene was an NG because Jian Jun was stunned to see his body.

       Lu Jinlang didn’t say anything for a long time after calling for a stop.

       Wen Jianing simply sat up. Wen Tinghuan immediately took a piece of clothing and put it on him.

       Jian Jun seemed embarrassed and said, “I’m sorry.”

       Wen Jianing smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then turned to look at Lu Jinlang.

       Lu Jinlang also just raised his head to look at him. Wen Jianing didn’t know what he was thinking. After a while, he said to Jian Jun, “Don’t be distracted, do it again.”

       For the second take, Jian Jun restrained himself from thinking about random thoughts. He actually didn’t have any strange thoughts about Wen Jianing’s body, but at that moment, he felt that such a body seemed a bit sexy, and it felt different from the body of a man he usually saw. When Jian Jun wiped Wen Jianing’s body with a wet towel, his fingers accidentally touched his nipple. At this time, Jian Jun could control his expression, but it was difficult to control his eyes. The look in his eyes told Lu Jinlang that he was still distracted.

       Lu Jinlang called out again to stop.

       Jian Jun was a little embarrassed.

       As a director, Lu Jinlang had a very good temper. He stood up, took the thin coat in Wen Tinghuan’s hand, and took it to Wen Jianing.

       Lu Jinlang said to the other staff, “Let’s take a break.”

       Then he sat down by the bed, waved to Jian Jun and motioned him to sit down by the bed.

       None of the other staff members came over.

       Lu Jinlang said to Jian Jun with a volume that only the three of them could hear, “What are you thinking about?”

       Jian Jun glanced at Wen Jianing and told the truth, “Xinhang ge body is too soft, and I can’t concentrate.”

       As soon as he said that, it was Wen Jianing’s turn to be embarrassed. His body was slender, with few muscles, and his skin was smooth and delicate. These features that were not masculine were due to body hormones. Jian Jun did not say it directly, but it meant that Wen Jianing was like a woman and felt soft to the touch.

       Wen Jianing opened his mouth and wanted to talk, but for a while, he didn’t know what to say and finally chose to be silent. Anyway, he was not a director.

       Lu Jinlang stood up suddenly, asked Jian Jun to stand up with him, and then said to Wen Jianing, “Lie down.”

       Wen Jianing put on the t-shirt upon hearing the words and lay down.

       Lu Jinlang was going to personally demonstrate it for Jian Jun. He reached out to support Wen Jianing’s back to help him up and then helped him undress.

       Wen Jianing closed his eyes, the redness of his cheeks was originally made by the makeup artist, but at this time he really started to get a little hot. It had been a long time since Lu Jinlang touched him like this, the warm and strong palms, and his clothes that were roughly stripped off. Lu Jinlang grabbed the wet towel next to him and wiped his body. Lu Jinlang accidentally wiped his chest with his fingers, and he could feel the two nipples stand up sensitively.

       As for these actions, Lu Jinlang said to Jian Jun, “Have you never taken care of a child?”

       Jian Jun shook his head.

       Lu Jinlang said, “You can go back and observe more. Yuan Qishi’s living environment was quite rough, and he was not so gentle and meticulous when he took care of his son. You don’t need to be too careful, just grasp how much strength you should use.”

       Jian Jun was lost in thoughts.

       Lu Jinlang then said to him, “The bodies of a little boy and a little girl are the same.”

       Jian Jun heard this and suddenly said, “I understand.”

       Lu Jinlang reached out and patted him on the arm, “Jian Jun, believe more in yourself. You have that strength.”

       Jian Jun nodded vigorously, “Thank you, Director Lu.”

       After he said these words, Lu Jinlang turned his head to look at Wen Jianing.

       Wen Jianing kept lying on the bed without moving. He was watching Lu Jinlang with his eyes open. Except for the redness of his cheeks, he was a little breathless, but it was well hidden by him.

       Lu Jinlang only saw that his eyes were moist because Wen Jianing was looking at him without blinking. After a moment of silence, he stood up and said, “Take a rest.”

       Wen Jianing sat up, put on his coat, and tried to calm his emotions. He didn’t care about Jian Jun, who was still trying to figure out what Lu Jinlang had just said next to him.

       He had been scorched by the light, and his forehead was slightly sweaty. The makeup artist came to help him fix his makeup. While applying powder, the makeup artist said, “Is it hot? Your face is red.”

       He did not answer.

       When the makeup artist left, Wen Jianing turned to look at Lu Jinlang, who happened to be also looking at him.

       He knew that Lu Jinlang must have noticed just now because they were too familiar with each other’s bodies. And since he separated from Lu Jinlang, he hadn’t even tried to vent by himself. At this moment, he was suddenly aroused, and the reaction was quite normal.

       After a brief look at each other, both of them turned away.

       After Wen Jianing looked away from Lu Jinlang, he immediately noticed Ke Xinfan, who was squatting in the corner of the studio. Only then did he realize that Ke Xinfan had been watching him from there.

       When Ke Xinfan saw Wen Jianing looking at himself, he curled the corners of his lips and showed a devious smile.

       Wen Jianing controlled his expression and turned his gaze away slowly.

       Ke Xinfan took out a cigarette case and a lighter. When the staff saw it, they immediately came to stop him from smoking in the studio, so he stood up and walked out.

       When the filming started again, Jian Jun had obviously found the state.

       He wiped Wen Jianing’s body vigorously with a wet towel as if treating a child. After wiping, Wen Jianing felt that the skin on his body was a little bit painful as his whole body was rubbed red by him.

       As soon as this shot was over, Wen Tinghuan ran over to Jian Jun and said, “Why are you wiping so hard? Xinhang’s skin is about to be rubbed off because of you!”

       Wen Jianing felt a little amused, and stopped Wen Tinghuan from blaming Jian Jun, and said, “It’s okay.”

       Jian Jun seriously apologized to Wen Jianing, “I’m sorry.”

       Wen Jianing shook his head, “If you have to apologise for this, are you going to apologize when shooting future scenes?”

       They eat lunch on the set in the afternoon.

       Ke Xinfan originally had gone out to hang out, but when it was time to eat, he immediately came back, took a box of lunch and squatted in a place not far from Wen Jianing and burying his head to eat.

       Wen Jianing was with Jian Jun and Wen Tinghuan. He raised his head and saw that Lu Jinlang was still discussing with the assistant director whether there was a need to retake the shot. So he got up and took two boxes of lunch and walked over, and handed them one box to each of them.

       The assistant director took it over and politely thanked Wen Jianing.

       Lu Jinlang asked him, “Have you eaten?” Then he reached out to pick it up.

       “Yes,” Wen Jianing told him.

       Lu Jinlang asked him, “How do you feel?”

       Wen Jianing said, “Shouldn’t I ask you this? How do you feel? Great director.”

       Lu Jinlang smiled, “It’s more difficult than I imagined.”

       In regards of this movie, he could present a detailed and complete picture in his mind for every scene, but when he really shot the scenes, it was difficult to fully fit with his imagination. Because he was just a director, he couldn’t carry all the work of lighting, modelling, photography and clothing on one person’s shoulders. And sometimes regardless of how inspired the actor was, their performance was always different from what he expected.

       These difficulties would not be discovered without experiencing them personally.

       Wen Jianing said, “I have confidence in you.”

       Lu Jinlang nodded, “People all over the country thought you were my diehard fan.”

       Wen Jianing couldn’t help asking, “Isn’t it?”

       Lu Jinlang said, “Isn’t it Wen Jianing’s?”

       The topic stopped here, and the two did not continue.

       Wen Jianing returned to his seat, picked up the box lunch and continued to eat.

       At this time, Ke Xinfan had finished eating. He squatted beside Wen Jianing, and while digging out his teeth with a toothpick, he said, “What’s the matter? You’ve been kissing the director’s ass? “

       Wen Jianing didn’t want to talk to him.

       Ke Xinfan said, “That’s the way it is right. You used to be so pretentious and acting high and mighty, but now that you are in the entertainment industry, you seem to be completely reborn.”

       Wen Jianing didn’t have any appetite to listen to him. He wanted to put down his lunch box and wondered why he couldn’t just leave him alone. He smiled at Ke Xinhang and said, “People will always grow up.”

       Ke Xinhang snorted. Ke Xinfan didn’t know what Wen Jianing was thinking and stopped talking.

       It was late at night when the shooting ended, and Ke Xinfan still drove Wen Jianing back.

       As soon as he returned home, Wen Jianing closed the door forcibly, unwilling to let Ke Xinfan into his house at all. The car key was still with Ke Xinfan, but Wen Jianing didn’t think it was important anymore. He wished Ke Xinfan left in the car and never showed up again.

       Even though it was late, Wen Jianing insisted on taking a shower, dried his hair and sat at the bedside to cut his toenails with nail clippers. Halfway through the cut, Wen Tinghuan actually called.

       Wen Jianing answered the phone and heard Wen Tinghuan asking in surprise, “You are not asleep yet?”

       He didn’t know whether he should be angry or amused, and said to Wen Tinghuan, “Why do you call me if you think I’m asleep?”

       Wen Tinghuan said, “Because I just finished a phone call with Director Lu, so I called you immediately.”

       Wen Jianing was taken aback when he heard the words, “Lu Jinlang? What did he call you for?”

       Wen Tinghuan said, “He asked about your brother.”

       Wen Jianing put the nail clippers aside, held the phone with one hand, gently rubbed his feet with the other, and asked, “What did you tell him?”

       Wen Tinghuan said, “I told him everything you told me.”

       Wen Jianing was silent for a while, and then said, “Why did you tell him about this?”

       Wen Tinghuan sighed, “Although I don’t know what weakness of yours is in the hands of Ke Xinfan, I can see that you can’t deal with him. If you refuse to tell me what the problem is, go and talk to Lu Jinlang. If you can’t solve it, let him solve it for you.”

       Wen Jianing said, “It’s not that I can’t solve it, but I’m still thinking about how to best solve this matter. Have you heard anything about what I asked you to check for me?”

       “How fast can it be?” Wen Tinghuan said, “I just went to a detective agency! But I’ve already sent someone to check. Don’t worry. I’ll be the first to inform Lu Jinlang as soon as I have news. “

       “You!” Wen Jianing was speechless for a moment.

       Wen Tinghuan already said, “Good night, go to bed!”

       Then the phone was hung up.


The author has something to say:

I arrived by train this morning, and then went out to get the license plate on the car and ran back in the afternoon. The original plan of the double update was fizzled out. But then, there’s the weekend. I will try to compensate everyone!

Chapter 58

       As they had dinner together that evening, Wen Jianing found that he didn’t know if Jian Jun was introverted or just too restrained. He didn’t talk much, but his behaviour was very steady.

       They chatted while eating, and Wen Tinghuan, who was outgoing and good at getting along with people, soon became closer with Jian Jun.

       Wen Jianing didn’t know if Jian Jun had any thoughts about what happened during the day. But by now, it seemed that there was nothing wrong on the surface.

       In another week, Wen Jianing and Jian Jun would be ready to join the filming.

  Before the filming, Wen Tinghuan really seemed busy all of a sudden, and she was unable to take care of Wen Jianing’s daily life. The company quickly responded and came forward to recruit a driver and life assistant for him.

       That day, Zheng Xin called him to the company and said he would introduce him to a new assistant.

       Before he meet with the assistant, Zheng Xin called Wen Jianing to the office and said to him, “Before this, I need to inform you one thing. Do you know the name of the new assistant?”

       Wen Jianing looked at him suspiciously.

       Zheng Xin said, “That person is Ke Xinfan. When he came to apply for the job, he had already said that he was your brother.”

       Wen Jianing could hardly conceal his surprise. He should have been surprised. He said, “Why don’t I know?”

       Zheng Xin looked at him. “He said he didn’t tell you, and that he wanted to surprise you.”

       It was not a surprise at all, and more like a shock for him. Ke Xinhang’s elder brother knew the secret of Ke Xinhang’s body. For so long, Wen Jianing had no news of him, but he did not expect him to appear suddenly in this way.

       Zheng Xin noticed Wen Jianing’s expression and asked, “It’s not good? If it’s not good, you can refuse, but I think you should still want to see him at least? “

       It was certain that Ke Xinhang’s relationship with his brother was not good, otherwise, it wouldn’t be this long that there was no contact between the two people. But Wen Jianing had no information about him in his mind because Ke Xinhang had no record of his brother.

       In this case, of course, he couldn’t directly refuse to meet Ke Xinfan. However, in the next meeting, he would be in a very passive position.

       Wen Jianing hesitated for a moment, and said to Zheng Xin, “I want to say a few words to him alone.”

  Zheng Xin nodded, “Of course.”

  Zheng Xin took Wen Jianing to the lounge where Ke Xinfan was. After opening the door for Wen Jianing to enter, he closed the door for them outside.

  Wen Jianing saw the man sitting in the lounge looking up at him.

  Ke Xinfan was almost 30 years old this year. The age difference between the two brothers was quite large, and their facial features were not particularly similar. Ke Xinfan looked much tougher and looked like he had experienced a lot of hardships that made him look older than his original age.

       Wen Jianing showed a defensive attitude because he thought that even Ke Xinhang should be defensive when he suddenly saw his long lost brother.

       Ke Xinfan looked at Wen Jianing and didn’t seem to think that anything was wrong. He stood up and smiled, “Xinhang, are you okay?”

  Wen Jianing intended to maintain this defensive stance and let the other party get as few words out of him as possible. He then asked, “Why are you here?”

  Ke Xinfan was still looking at him up and down. His expression was a bit complicated, and after a moment he said, “With your physical condition, it is really not easy to be able to be where you are today.”

       Wen Jianing looked at Ke Xinfan and wanted to see the sincerity of this sentence from his expression, but he found that the other party’s expression was very sincere and he couldn’t see anything wrong with it at all.

        Ke Xinfan said, “I have a problem with the project in another place, and I have nothing to do now. I went home to pay homage to our parents a few days ago and then came to see you. I just heard the news about your recruitment, so I thought that maybe I can try it.”

        Wen Jianing did not answer.

        Ke Xinfan looked at him, sighed this time, and took the initiative to say, “What? Are you still angry with your brother?”

        Wen Jianing knew that the two brothers really had a contradiction.

  Ke Xinfan said, “At that time, all I said was just words full of anger. As for you? You are such a big person, and you are angry with your brother for a little thing.”

  As for what the two brothers quarreled about at that time, Wen Jianing might never know the truth.

  Wen Jianing asked him, “How did you come up with the idea of working as an assistant?”

       Ke Xinfan smiled, “I’m just looking for something to do everywhere. It’s better to help my little brother than to help others, isn’t it? Besides, with your physical condition, isn’t it hard to find an assistant? “

  As he heard Ke Xinfan repeatedly mention his physical condition, Wen Jianing felt a little uncomfortable. If he really thought of his brother’s well-being, he would not mention it easily.

  Just like how it was with Lu Jinlang, he seldom mentioned this matter except when it would be a topic of flirting when he was intimate, and he rarely mentioned it because he was paying attention to Wen Jianing’s emotions.

  Wen Jianing said, “Do you know what an assistant’s job is?”

  Ke Xinfan spread his hands, “You tell me.”

  Wen Jianing said, “The assistant is equivalent to the hired driver and nanny. To be honest, I don’t think our relationship is good enough for this.”

  Ke Xinfan smiled, “Don’t you feel sorry for your brother?”

  Wen Jianing said politely, “I think about each other for our sake.”

  Ke Xinfan’s face became a little cold, “What? Is it because you are a big star now? You didn’t forget your last name, right?”

  He put on a displeased face, but Wen Jianing found it easier to deal with. He said, “May I ask why are you looking for me now, big brother?”

  Ke Xinfan leaned back, put his two long legs on the table, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and said, “Your big brother is out of work. I want to find something to do, and you won’t even help me with this?”

  Wen Jianing said, “I just think this job may not be suitable for you.”

  Ke Xinfan said, “Then you can find a job that you think suits me.”

  Wen Jianing leaned forward slightly, put his hands on the table, and said to Ke Xinfan, “Big brother, give me some time to think about it.”

  Ke Xinfan spread out a hand, “You feel free to think about it slowly, my little brother.”

  He came out of the lounge, Wen Jianing found Zheng Xin and said to him, “Let him be my driver for now.”

  Zheng Xin asked him, “Is it all right?”

  Wen Jianing smiled, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him. We used to quarrel a lot, and we were quarrelling the last time we met.”

  Zheng Xin heard the words and said, “Then it’s better to change people if this will affect your mood.”

  Wen Jianing said, “It’s okay, let him do it first.”

  Ke Xinfan obviously wanted something from his younger brother but didn’t explicitly mention it. Ke Xinfan was probably testing his limit. He himself did not dare to act rashly, because he also wanted to test Ke Xinfan’s limit and come up with a proper way to deal with him. Unless there was a way to ensure that Ke Xinfan would shut his mouth and not use his physical defect to threaten him.

  When he returned to the lounge, Wen Jianing saw Wen Lin talking with Ke Xinfan inside. When Wen Lin saw Wen Jianing come back, he smiled and said to him, “Is he really your big brother?”

  Wen Jianing smiled, “Yes.”

  Ke Xinfan asked Wen Lin, “Why? It doesn’t look like that?”

  Wen Lin said, “If you look at it at first glance, you guys really don’t look alike. But if you look closely, you will find that the contours of the facial features are still similar.”

  Ke Xinfan said, “We haven’t been alike since we were young.”

  Wen Jianing said to Ke Xinfan, “Big brother, you can go back first if it’s okay.”

  Ke Xinfan raised his eyebrows to look at him, “Why? Is the assistant’s job so easy? Why are you hurrying me to go before you get off work?”

  Wen Jianing explained to him, “The assistant doesn’t need to take a class, and I own a car. I just need you to drive when I go out to socialize or attend activities occasionally. Otherwise, I can drive myself at other times.”

  Ke Xinfan smiled and said, “That easy?”

  Wen Jianing said, “Yes, I will call you if I have something to do.”

  Ke Xinfan stood up, “Well, please call me whenever you need to. I’ll make sure to be there when you call.”

  As he waited for Ke Xinfan to leave, Wen Lin asked Wen Jianing, “Are you really planning to let him be your assistant? Would it be okay?”

  Wen Jianing said to him, “It’s only just for the time being. I will help him find a suitable job as soon as possible.”

  Although he said so, Wen Jianing understood that what Ke Xinfan was looking for was not a job, but him. The most terrifying thing was the endless blackmail, and Wen Jianing couldn’t really kill him. So in this situation, it was better not to irritate him.

  But what if Ke Xinfan could still remember his brotherly affection for Ke Xinhang?

  After confirming that Ke Xinfan had left the company, Wen Jianing went to find Wen Tinghuan and asked Wen Tinghuan to help him find someone to check Ke Xinfan’s information over the years. The more detailed, the better.

  Wen Tinghuan felt it was a little strange, “Isn’t that your brother? And I heard from laoshi that you plan to keep him?”

  Wen Jianing did not hide too much from Wen Tinghuan and said, “I have a bad relationship with him. I don’t know what he has been doing outside these years. I suspect that he came for money.”

  Wen Tinghuan frowned upon hearing this, and said, “He heard that you are famous, so he came back and looked for you?”

  Wen Jianing nodded.

  Wen Tinghuan slammed the table, “Then what’s the point of talking to him? Just drive him away!”

  Wen Jianing looked at her and said calmly, “He is my biological brother, no matter what, as long as he runs to the media and causes trouble, it will be a scandal.”

  Wen Tinghuan said in exasperation, “What a troublesome guy.”

  Wen Jianing said, “So Ting jie, I entrust this matter to you. It’s best not to alarmed too many people.”

  Wen Tinghuan nodded, “You don’t worry about my work.”

  In fact, from the day Wen Jianing was ready to make his debut as Ke Xinhang, he was worried that Ke Xinhang’s family would become a stumbling block to him in the future. And it turned out, Ke Xinfan still appeared in front of him so abruptly after so long.

  At night, Wen Jianing was alone at home, he felt a little agitated, tossing and turning, and thought about Ke Xinfan.

  After he thought for a long time, he called Su Shan and wanted to ask Su Shan if he had heard Ke Xinhang mention his brother before.

  Su Shan thought over the phone for a long time and said, “He seems to have said that he had a bad relationship with his brother once. I don’t know what it is. I’ve never seen his brother.”

  Wen Jianing thanked him.

  Apart from confirming that the two brothers Ke Xinhang had a bad relationship, there was no useful information from Su Shan. Wen Jianing sat on the sofa with his mobile phone and thought about it for a long time, and decided to start easing the relationship with Ke Xinfan. After all, they were brothers. If Ke Xinfan just wanted some money, he just had to satisfy him.

  The opening ceremony of ‘Bitter Summer’ will be held the next day.

  Wen Jianing got up early in the morning. He had to go to the studio rented by the crew and in the morning he had to put on makeup and styling.

  He just changed his clothes and went downstairs after taking a bath. He heard the doorbell ringing downstairs and opened the door to see that the person standing outside was Ke Xinfan.

  Ke Xinfan leaned against the door, smoking a cigarette, and asked him, “Why don’t you call me? Aren’t you going to the opening ceremony today?”

  Wen Jianing’s tone was calm, “Because I can drive by myself, I didn’t want to bother big brother.”

  Ke Xinfan suddenly smiled and snorted, “To be honest, your personality has changed a lot when I come back this time. I guess it’s different to be a big star. You were once a mouthful, and I can’t help thinking about things from our childhood.”

  ”How old was I?” Wen Jianing asked him, “Did I follow your butt chasing and calling big brother?”

  Ke Xinfan’s eyes were a little empty for a moment, probably because he recalled some memories.

  Wen Jianing did not ask how he knew his schedule, nor did he ask how he found it, so he opened the door and invited him to come in and sit down.

  Ke Xinfan looked at the house and said, “What a big house.”

  Wen Jianing smiled and said, “I still owe the house payment and I haven’t finished paying it. Come in and sit down. Wait for me inside.”

  Ke Xinfan walked in but did not sit down beside the sofa. He stood at the entrance of the stairs and saw a huge poster hanging on the corner of the stairs leading to the second floor. It used to be Wen Jianing’s poster, but now the person on it had been replaced by Ke Xinhang.

  On the way out, Ke Xinfan touched Wen Jianing’s Mercedes-Benz. He whistled, and praised, “What a luxurious car.”

  Wen Jianing said, “Let me drive.”

  Ke Xinfan said, “How could I let you do that, I am your driver.”

  He insisted on driving, and Wen Jianing didn’t force it. On the way, Wen Jianing asked him, “Big brother, you don’t actually want to be my assistant, right?”

  Ke Xinfan seemed to be smiling but his smile didn’t really reach his eyes and did not say anything.

  Wen Jianing said, “Why don’t you say frankly, big brother. What on earth are you planning to do?”

  Ke Xinfan pointed his finger at him, “Big star, you’re so different.”

  In Ke Xinfan’s view, Wen Jianing and Ke Xinhang’s personality differences were caused by his current status. Wen Jianing breathed a sigh of relief. It was fine if he wanted to think so, it was better than Ke Xinfan doubting his true identity.

  They were brothers, and Ke Xinfan might be somewhat soft-hearted; if they were no longer brothers, perhaps Ke Xinfan would hesitate to use despicable means to deal with him.

  Wen Jianing went on to say, “If you really want to find a job, I will help you introduce one that is more suitable for you. The assistant job is not suitable for you, and I have no reason to use my brother as a driver.”

  Ke Xinfan looked straight ahead and said, “Oh well, there’s no need to hurry. Us brothers haven’t seen each other for so long. How about we talk about the past first and think about other things slowly. “

  Wen Jianing held back his anxiety at the bottom of his heart, smiled and said, “That’s fine, as long as big brother likes it.”

  After they drove to the set, Wen Jianing got off the car first, and Ke Xinfan drove the car to the parking place. He turned his head and watched Ke Xinfan drive the car away, clenching his fist with one hand. This slimy attitude of Ke Xinfan was a bit torturous.

  When he came back to his senses, Wen Jianing discovered that Lu Jinlang was standing not far away, looking at him.

  He walked in the direction of Lu Jinlang, “Why are you here?”

  Lu Jinlang said, “I just saw you, and was waiting for you to come over.”

  Lu Jinlang accompanied Wen Jianing to the dressing room. All the crew members met on the way greeted them politely, and the whole crew began to work in an orderly manner

  This was the first film directed by Lu Jinlang. Wen Jianing couldn’t help being excited for him when he thought about it.

  However, Lu Jinlang’s attention was not here. He asked Wen Jianing, “Is that a new driver?”

  Wen Jianing thought of Ke Xinfan, and his face became gloomy. He said, “The man driving is my brother.”

  Lu Jinlang stopped suddenly and looked at Wen Jianing.

  Wen Jianing looked at him. He wanted to say that his brother threatened him with his physical condition, perhaps to extort money from him. But before he said that, Wen Jianing suddenly thought, what was the point of saying it to Lu Jinlang? He seemed to be subconsciously seeking Lu Jinlang’s help because he couldn’t think of an appropriate solution, even though Lu Jinlang might have a way to help him solve it. They have clearly separated. What right did he have to use Lu Jinlang like this?

  As he thought of this, Wen Jianing shook his head without saying anything.

  Lu Jinlang said to him, “If you have something to say, say it.”

  Wen Jianing hesitated, just said, “He knows my physical condition.”

  That was natural, after all, he was his biological big brother.

  Lu Jinlang asked, “Why have I never heard you mention it in the past? Is your relationship not good?”

  Wen Jianing was about to speak when he suddenly saw Ke Xinfan walking in their direction with the car key in his hand. He looked around all the way, as if the whole set was very interesting, until he came to Wen Jianing, looked at Lu Jinlang, and then said, “Oh, I know this guy! The great film emperor Lu…. what Lu again? “

  Lu Jinlang stretched out a hand to him, “Hello, I am Lu Jinlang.”

  Ke Xinfan held his hand, raised the corner of his mouth and said, “I am Ke Xinhang’s brother, Ke Xinfan.”


The author has something to say:
I’d like to explain that I’m going out tomorrow for a few days because I don’t have a draft saved, so I have to stop updating temporarily, for about five days. I will try to update it if there’s a way to update it midway (not guaranteed). Originally, I said I would give you more today, but I had to go out for dinner at night, and then I came home to write some until now, but I hope to get more. I’m sorry to delay it so late!

Chapter 57

       Wen Jianing wore a slim black dress and sat quietly in the middle of the awards hall. Although he was not in the front row, he had a good view from here, and as long as he turned his head slightly, he could see where Lu Jinlang was sitting.

       This year, there was no break time dedicated to commemorating Wen Jianing. He had been gradually forgotten, and the one who was entering the people’s field of vision was a young man named Ke Xinhang.

       He looked more handsome and more talented than Wen Jianing. Many people could predict his bright future, but no one knew that what was imprisoned in his body was Wen Jianing’s soul.

       It was just that if he was still Wen Jianing, would the most brilliant light tonight shine on him instead of Lu Jinlang?

       Lu Jinlang looked calm. Compared with the previous international awards, the Academy Awards did not seem to have so much weight.

       But in the end, they still look forward to it.

       The order of the awards ceremony was still the same as last year. The awards for newcomer awards were placed before several important awards. Although the newcomer award’s weight was lighter, it was very much anticipated by the audience, because one of the nominees was Ke Xinhang.

       Wen Jianing sat in his seat, and couldn’t help feeling a little excited when they approached the award of the newcomer award. This shouldn’t be his goal anymore. He started a lot higher than these young people, and winning this award was somewhat expected, but he still couldn’t help feeling excited.

       After the award-giving guests took the stage, Wen Jianing’s shots appeared on the big screen from time to time.

       Lu Jinlang leaned back relaxedly, with one leg on the other, hands folded on his knees. He looked at the big screen. The Wen Jianing inside the screen was clean and beautiful, with a decent smile on his face.

       Sitting next to Lu Jinlang was Wei Lun. After seeing Wen Jianing who appeared in the camera, he bumped Lu Jinlang with his elbow and asked, “How is it? Are you confident in winning?”

       Lu Jinlang asked softly, “Are you asking me or him?”

       Wei Lun laughed out loud, “Of course I asked for you both.”

       Without hiding anything, Lu Jinlang said, “I have confidence in him.”

       There was not much suspense, the award-presenting guest announced that the person who won the best newcomer award was Ke Xinhang.

       Wen Jianing stood up. Although he was excited, he didn’t want to make himself look like a restless little boy in the camera.

       The whole award hall burst into a warm applause.

       The people sitting around him gave him hugs and congratulated him.

       When he walked forward on the passage, he was stopped halfway by Cao Songquan who gave him a big hug.

       The camera kept following him.

       Cao Songquan tried to kiss him, but he resolutely refused. Bursts of laughter broke out at the scene.

       Since it was inconvenient for Fang Wei to approach him since he was sitting in the middle, he just stood up to congratulate him.

       Wen Jianing made a fist salute gesture* to thank him.

       When passing by Lu Jinlang’s row of seats, the two people were far apart and just glanced at each other, and then he stepped onto the podium.

       Wen Jianing took over his little golden man from the awarding guest and waved it.

       He stood in front of the microphone, adjusted its direction, and then said, “Thank you very much to the Organizing Committee for giving me this award. For me, there are many people who need to be thanked. I can’t say who is more important than others because without every one of them, I may not be able to get to where I am today.”

       When he talked about this, he found Lu Jinlang in the crowd, as if Lu Jinlang always stood out no matter where he was.

       He then said, “For friends and family who care about me and support me, no matter how much I say thank you will not be enough. If I have the opportunity, I hope to have more opportunities to stand on this podium and slowly convey my gratitude to everyone. Thank you.”

       After his acceptance speech, the host immediately said, “We welcome you to stand on this podium every year.”

       Wen Jianing smiled and said thank you, and warm applause broke out again at the scene.

       He got down from the podium and slowly returned to his seat. His heart gradually calmed down but he began to look forward to more. Looking forward to what? He didn’t know it himself but if Lu Jinlang became the best actor again, the distance between them would be greater and greater, and he might not be able to catch up with him all his life. But so what? At this time, who was more deserving than Lu Jinlang to win this award? Wen Jianing felt that he might be more nervous than Lu Jinlang.

       However, in the end, no one thought that the result of the best actor this year’s Academy Awards was a big surprise. The winner was not Lu Jinlang, but another middle-aged actor.

       When announcing the winner, the camera didn’t move away from Lu Jinlang’s face for a long time. It seemed to want to capture his lost look. However, it didn’t capture anything. Lu Jinlang looked very calm and even stood up and smiled to congratulate the winner.

       Wen Jianing was a little lost for a moment.

       When he came back to his senses, he saw that the winner was already standing on the podium, almost crying with excitement.

       At the end of the award ceremony, Wen Tinghuan called Wen Jianing and said she would wait for him in the parking lot to go to the celebration banquet hall. Wen Jianing said to Wen Tinghuan, “Wait a moment.”

       He left from the artist’s special passage, looking for Lu Jinlang on the road to the parking lot. Lu Jinlang didn’t win the prize and Wen Jianing was not sure whether he would go to the celebration banquet.

       Finally, Wen Jianing saw Lu Jinlang in the parking lot. Lu Jinlang was standing next to his nanny car and talking to Lu Yunan in the driver’s seat.

       Wen Jianing walked over.

       Lu Yunan saw him first, and hurriedly greeted him, “Xinhang?”

       Lu Jinlang turned around and asked, “Why are you still here? Not going to the celebration banquet?”

       Wen Jianing asked, “You are not going?”

       Lu Jinlang said, “I’m going to go there.” After speaking, he paused and invited Wen Jianing and said, “Shall we go in my car?”

       Wen Jianing hesitated,agreed to Lu Jinlang, and then called Wen Tinghuan.

       Wen Ting said angrily, “See, you are already forgetting your friends in front of your lover!”

       Wen Jianing didn’t refute her.

       Wen Jianing used to ride in Lu Jinlang’s nanny car for a while, but since he had his own car, Lu Jinlang seldom asked Lu Yunan to pick him up by car.

       As soon as he got into the car, all he could recall were ambiguous memories.

       Lu Jinlang unbuttoned his coat and asked him, “What’s the matter? Are you worried about me?”

       In fact, if he had to say it, the emotion was probably anxiety, he was worried that Lu Jinlang would be depressed.

       Lu Jinlang smiled, “It’s okay, I’m not sad.”

       Wen Jianing asked him, “Don’t you feel disappointed?”

       Lu Jinlang said, “A bit, but it’s just that.”

       He had already won the Film Emperor title two times. It seemed that he didn’t mind if he couldn’t take it this time, and his acting skills had been sufficiently recognized.

       Wen Jianing suddenly smiled. He was thinking that if it were himself, he would be disappointed to death.

       The two people stayed together in such a closed environment, and their bodies were very close. Wen Jianing could feel that his legs touched Lu Jinlang’s knees from time to time.

       The ambiguous but restrained atmosphere made Wen Jianing feel a little breathless.

       The two of them shouldn’t have gotten where they were now, but Lu Jinlang didn’t plan to ask for his feelings and physical relationship in the future anymore. What should be done? Lu Jinlang said that he didn’t take good care of his heart, so how could Wen Jianing take good care of his own heart? Lu Jinlang was tempted, but he also hesitated. But if Lu Jinlang wanted to go one step further, what if he was reluctant to take that step back?

       Emotion and reason were pulling at each other.

       Wen Jianing said softly, “Do you remember Wen Jianing?”

       This topic seemed a little abrupt at this time. He heard Lu Jinlang’s slightly surprised voice, “Of course, why?”

       Wen Jianing said, “In fact, he had always regarded you as his rival. If he knew that you didn’t even care about the Academy Award, he will be very sad.”

       After a brief silence, Lu Jinlang asked, “How do you know?”

       Wen Jianing said, “I said he was my idol.”

       “It’s not only that,” Lu Jinlang suddenly said, “Is it just as simple as an idol?”

       Wen Jianing looked up at him strangely, because he thought his tone was a little unusual.

       Lu Jinlang said to him, “Do you know the difference between worship and love?”

       Wen Jianing said, “Huh?”

       Lu Jinlang continued, “I don’t want to say something disrespectful to the dead, but Wen Jianing had passed away. You firmly buy his house and live in it without any objection. I think it’s beyond the scope of fans’ idolatry.”

       Wen Jianing opened his eyes wide. He understood what Lu Jinlang meant.

       Lu Jinlang said, “Maybe you don’t remember it anymore, but I still remember when I first saw you, you told me that you were a fan of Wen Jianing. The first thing you said to me was related to Wen Jianing.”

       Actually, they met a little earlier for the first time. They had met one another at Wen Jianing’s funeral, but Lu Jinlang no longer remembered it.

       “No,” Wen Jianing said, “I think you have misunderstood.”

       Lu Jinlang reached out and touched his head, “Forget it, it doesn’t matter. It’s good that you feel happy.”

       Wen Jianing had many words to explain. But before he could get the words out, he was offset by Lu Jinlang’s words.

       The venue of the banquet was very close to the awards hall. At this time, Lu Yunan had already driven the car. Lu Jinlang got out of the car first and then stretched out his hand to let Wen Jianing get out of the car.

       Wen Jianing was a little out of shape, not knowing what to feel.

       Lu Jinlang misunderstood. This misunderstanding was not so important because it was easy to explain, but Lu Jinlang didn’t need Wen Jianing’s explanation. He already felt that it didn’t matter.

       Wen Jianing knew that Lu Jinlang thought that in the relationship between the two of them, he was the only one with an unrequited love from beginning to end. But Wen Jianing, who clearly knew each other’s feelings better, hesitated.

       At the end of the Academy Award ceremony, the media coverage all over the world reported that Lu Jinlang missed the little golden man as the headline of the entertainment page the next day. Because too many possible results had been analyzed early, and they were all done in detail, the audience no longer feels interested.

       On the contrary, Lu Jinlang, who did not win the prize, became big news.

       A website tried its best to select a picture of Lu Jinlang who looked a little distracted, regardless of the fact that the shot was clearly a screenshot taken before the Best Actor was awarded.

       The second Wen Jianing went back to the company the next day. Wen Tinghuan took a tablet computer to watch entertainment news. One of them was an interview with Wen Jianing after the celebration banquet. He asked what he thought about Lu Jinlang’s failure to get the best actor award.

       Wen Jianing drank some wine at that time and said directly, “He already got it. He was already a film emperor at the previous International Film Festival.”

       The reporter was a little tricky and asked, “Do you mean that the domestic Academy Awards are not important anymore?”

       Wen Jianing replied, “Of course not. I want to express that Lu Jinlang can’t hide his strength whether he wins or not. His winning is well deserved, but his loss this time is also the same as being the uncrowned king.”

       After saying that, Wen Tinghuan came forward to interrupt the interview and took Wen Jianing away.

       Now looking at this video again, Wen Tinghuan couldn’t help rolling her eyes. “The mention of Lu Jinlang is jabbing you, huh? You dare to pick up the microphone and say anything you want.”

       Wen Jianing rubbed his forehead, “I drank a bit too much.”

       Wen Tinghuan said, “Are you being honest after drinking? He is the one who didn’t win the prize but you look even angrier than him.”

       Wen Jianing hit his head and didn’t deny it, but he also said, “Don’t say that. I won’t talk nonsense in the future.”

       As soon as he said that, he saw someone passing outside the lounge. He quickly stood up and chased out, shouting, “Jian Jun?”

       The young man who had already walked turned around to look at him, opening his mouth without making a sound.

  Wen Jianing already asked, “How did you get here?”

  Zheng Xin, who was walking in front of Jian Jun, turned around and walked toward Wen Jianing. At the same time, he said, “This is a new recruit from the company. Is Tingting here?”

       Wen Jianing nodded and called Wen Tinghuan out.

       Zheng Xin said, “Just in time, come to my office with me, and I have something to tell you.”

       When they got to Zheng Xin’s office, he asked them to sit down. He first formally introduced Jian Jun’s identity to Wen Jianing and Wen Tinghuan, and then said to Wen Tinghuan, “You should take care of Jian Jun for the time being.”

       Wen Tinghuan was a little surprised when she heard that, “But Xinhang…”

       “Xinhang and Jian Jun will make the same movie together next. The work content should be the same for a long time. You shouldn’t have too many things to do,” Zheng Xin said.

       Wen Tinghuan said, “What about their daily life? I can’t take care of both ends.”

       Zheng Xin looked at her seriously, “You are an agent, not Xinhang’s nanny. If you can’t do it with two artists, then don’t do it.”

       Wen Jianing quickly said, “Ting Jie, it’s okay, I will take care of my life.”

       Zheng Xin said, “You can rest assured that the company will hire a driver and life assistant for you. Tinghuan will only be responsible for your work in the future.”

       Wen Jianing understood Zheng Xin’s approach. Wen Tinghuan was too close to him now, and she did act a little like a nanny, and she was also a woman. In this way, she would inevitably be emotional when dealing with work in the future. It was better to separate public and private matters and hire a life assistant for him.

       Just like Lu Yunan followed Lu Jinlang.

       Wen Jianing said to Wen Tinghuan, “Ting jie, I think this is good.”

       Wen Tinghuan might still be unhappy, but she didn’t object anymore. She stretched out a hand to Jian Jun and introduced herself, “I am Wen Tinghuan.”

       Jianjun quickly took her hand and said, “I am Jian Jun.”

       Wen Jianing thought for a moment, stood up and said, “It’s my treat tonight. Let’s go and have dinner together.” Then he said to Zheng Xin, “Will you come?”

       Zheng Xin smiled and shook his head. “This evening I promised my wife to drive her back to her mother’s house. You young people can get together. You don’t have to invite me.”

       Wen Jianing smiled and said, “Thank you.”

       When he proposed this meal, his original purpose was to ease the relationship between Wen Tinghuan and Jian Jun. After all, Wen Tinghuan did not want to accept Jian Jun at first, and Jian Jun might not be too happy to hear Wen Tinghuan’s refusal.

       The three people went to eat fatty beef hotpot and asked for a private room.

       Wen Jianing said to Wen Tinghuan when she was alone, “I’ve given you a chance. Go and have a good relationship with others. You should know that Lu Jinlang is very optimistic about him. Maybe he will be a big star in the future. “

       Wen Tinghuan asked, “Like you?”

       Wen Jianing was stunned for a moment to react to what she meant, and said amusedly, “What were you thinking?”

       Wen Tinghuan said, “No, just like you who just participated in the competition. He fits the taste of people like Lu Jinlang best.”

       Wen Jianing laughed and shook his head, “Impossible.”

       Wen Tinghuan thought for a while and said, “Forget it. Anyway, I don’t know what you think. It probably doesn’t matter what Lu Jinlang wants.”


The author has something to say:
Everyone, don’t think of anything strange, ah


*The gesture Wen Jianing made to Fang Wei is this

Chapter 56

  The shower head was blocked by limescale after not being used for too long.

        “It was still fine two days ago,” Wen Jianing said.

        Lu Jinlang asked him, “Is there a descaling agent?”

        Wen Jianing shook his head, his body was still a bit weak and he felt a little dizzy.

        Lu Jinlang said to him, “Put your clothes on first, don’t catch a cold.”

        Wen Jianing looked at him.

        Lu Jinlang asked him, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

        Wen Jianing shook his head, took the clothes and went out back to the room to put them on.

        Lu Jinlang called Lu Yunan to buy a new shower head and send it over, without bothering to try some descaling agent. He put down the showerhead and walked toward Wen Jianing’s bedroom. When he was standing at the door, he saw Wen Jianing sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze.

  ”What are you thinking about?” Lu Jinlang paused and asked.

        Wen Jianing shook his head and said, “Nothing.”

  In fact, he was just thinking that one day when he gets old, he would be alone. Maybe no one would care about him when he was sick and died in bed. Now he could still look for Wen Tinghuan, but by the time Wen Tinghuan was an old woman herself and had no energy to care about him, he may have to live in a nursing home early.

  No, it still won’t do. Even if he could afford to spend money, he dare not ask a caregiver to help him take care of his body. Sure enough, it was better to die quietly as soon as possible. Before he died, he would change his clothes and lie on the bed with a suicide note that he was to be cremated directly.

  Lu Jinlang didn’t know what Wen Jianing was thinking but sensed that Wen Jianing had suddenly become depressed. He walked in, sat down by the bed, and said softly, “You can talk to me.”

  Wen Jianing looked at him, and suddenly had the urge to reach out and touch his face, but he knew he couldn’t do that.

  He could only say, “I’m thinking, since I am like this, what should I do when I die?”

  Lu Jinlang felt what he said was somewhat ridiculous, “How old are you? You are already thinking about death now.”

  Wen Jianing found that it was a very good thing to have someone to talk to about what was in his heart. He continued, “No one can tell. Maybe someday I will die suddenly, and then I will be stripped naked. After seeing me like that, they would make headlines afterwards, saying that Ke Xinhang turned out to be a born eunuch, a monster that is neither male nor female.”

  Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand to hold his hand, “Who said you are a monster?”

  Wen Jianing said softly, “It’s only you who think I am not ugly, right?”

  Lu Jinlang did not answer his question, but said, “You can leave a will, and I will take care of everything you left behind. When you die, I’ll accompany you, and then change your clothes and bury you myself, okay?”

  Wen Jianing turned his head to look at him. Suddenly his eyes became a little red. He said, “We have broken up. What are you being so good to me for?”

  Lu Jinlang was not saying anything for a while. He was about to speak when he heard the doorbell rang. He let go of Wen Jianing’s hand and said, “Maybe Yunan is here.”

  Wen Jianing raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.

  Lu Jinlang went downstairs and opened the door. He didn’t expect that the people standing at the door turned out to be Wen Lin and Yi Nan. They both heard that Wen Jianing was ill and came to visit. Yi Nan still held a bouquet of flowers in his hand, while Wen Lin carried a fruit basket.

  When they saw Lu Jinlang, Wen Lin was a little embarrassed and said, “Oh, it’s not convenient for Xinhang now, right? We will come back later.”

  Lu Jinlang replied, “It’s not inconvenient, please come in.”

  Wen Lin hesitated a little and glanced at Yi Nan, but Yi Nan had already walked into the house.

  Yi Nan nodded to Lu Jinlang as he entered the house, then raised his head and looked towards the second floor.

  Wen Jianing heard the sound of people talking, and came downstairs. He then saw the two of them, and said, “Why are you guys here?”

  Wen Lin raised his hand and motioned to the fruit basket in his hand, “We come to visit you.”

  Wen Jianing invited them to sit down in the living room, and when he turned to pour water for them, Lu Jinlang said, “I’ll do it, you sit down.”

  Wen Lin looked at Lu Jinlang’s back as he walked into the kitchen. He looked at Wen Jianing hurriedly and pointed at Lu Jinlang at the same time.

  Wen Jianing understood what he meant and shook his head.

  Yi Nan commented, “The lovers may part, but they still long to be with one another, huh?”

  Wen Jianing just smiled.

  Lu Jinlang brought out the teacup. Wen Lin quickly stood up to pick it up, and Yi Nan also politely thanked him.

  A few days ago, the TV series Wen Lin and Yi Nan played had officially finished airing. Similarly to ‘The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix’, it once again won extremely high ratings. The popularity of Wen Lin and Yi Nan had also risen.

   Afterwards, Wen Lin mentioned that he wanted to sing, and the company promised to give him a single to explore the market first. However, Yi Nan put the main direction of his development on acting.

   Wen Lin said that his own goal was to have a concert, and other things were not important to him.

  However, Yi Nan felt a little at a loss, because he found that whether it was Wen Lin or Wen Jianing, they had their goals clearly. They were not like him. His original intention to participate in the competition was just to break into the entertainment industry. He really didn’t think about how to develop in the future.

   The Emperor of Superstar might be his ultimate goal.

   When he thought of the Emperor of Superstar, there was one in this room now. After Lu Jinlang helped Wen Jianing pour the water, he didn’t intend to come to the living room to sit, as if he wanted to give them a space to talk.

   He walked towards the stairs and heard the doorbell ring again, so he walked over and opened the door.

   This time it was still not Lu Yunan, but Wen Tinghuan.

   Wen Tinghuan originally smiled and planned to say hello to Wen Jianing, but she didn’t expect that the person who opened the door was Lu Jinlang, and she opened her mouth wide without closing it for a long time.

   Lu Jinlang stepped aside and said, “Please come in.”

   Wen Tinghuan looked at Lu Jinlang suspiciously and asked, “Movie emperor, have you and xiao Hang got back together again?”

   Lu Jinlang smiled when he heard the words, “He’s not feeling well, can’t I come over and see him?”

   Wen Tinghuan said hurriedly, “Of course, Of course, you can.”

   Wen Jianing came over, took the gift that Wen Tinghuan had brought to visit him, let her sit next to the sofa, and then said to Lu Jinlang, “You should come and sit with us for a while.”

   Lu Jinlang relaxed his back against the handrails of the stairs and put his hands in his pants pockets, “I won’t interrupt your conversation.”

   Wen Jianing said softly, “They won’t think you are bothering them, they may just think you look down on them.”

   Lu Jinlang heard the words and glanced in the direction of the living room. It happened that Yi Nan and the others were looking over.

   He said to Wen Jianing, “Your assistant asked me if I had gotten back together with you again.”

   Wen Jianing smiled upon hearing the words, “Go and explain to her with your actions.”

   Lu Jinlang did not refuse anymore and went back to the living room to sit down.

   Recently, a movie offer came to Wen Lin. He was a little nervous and wanted to hear Wen Jianing’s opinion.

   The production cost of the film was not high. The director was a young director with two works, but it was not a big hit. The tone of the whole movie was very dark. The character played by Wen Lin was a young man who had been abused since childhood. He was already 18 or 19 years old but was still beaten by his stepmother. Later, when his biological mother found him, his intellectual development had been affected.

   It was a very dark and melancholic movie.

   Wen Jianing listened to Wen Lin about the script and turned his head to look at Lu Jinlang before expressing his opinion.

  Lu Jinlang said, “This kind of film is estimated to affect people’s mood very much. Of course, just such a story alone can’t explain much. Whether a movie is good or not, the script and the director are very important. If it is to hone your acting skills, you can give it a try.”

   As for Wen Lin, although he was not a fan of Lu Jinlang, he still highly respects Lu Jinlang. Whether to hone his acting skills or not was the same for him. His purpose was not originally this. If it was for acting, he himself was not too picky about the script, because it didn’t seem to make much difference.

   Wen Jianing then said to Wen Lin, “Let’s take a look at the script when you have time.”

   Wen Lin nodded.

   Later, several people sat in Wen Jianing’s house for a while and left. Lu Jinlang didn’t leave until Lu Yunan bought the showerhead and personally changed it for Wen Jianing.

  When he left, he said to Wen Jianing, “Remember to call me if you need something.”

   Wen Jianing nodded, “Okay.”

   He waited until Wen Jianing almost recovered completely, and Lu Jinlang arranged an audition for the main role in the movie.

   The name of the newcomer Lu Jinlang once paid attention to was Jian Jun. This was the first time Wen Jianing saw him in person. He looked taller than in the video and looked a little gloomy when he didn’t talk or laugh. But his appearance was tough and determined, and he looked very attractive to girls.

   In addition to him, there were some other newcomers in this audition, but Wen Jianing knew that what Lu Jinlang wanted to see is mainly the performance of this young man.

   Lu Jinlang said to him, “Let’s perform a short paragraph.” After he finished speaking, he simply took out a script and handed it to him. It contained a short episode: Two cousins ​​were sitting on the hillside, and the cousin was sleeping. Now, the cousin turned his head to look at him.

   Jian Jun has not read the complete script, he asked, “How about the relationship with the cousin?”

   Lu Jinlang said, “You can imagine it as a relationship between father and son.”

   “Father and son?” Jian Jun was a little at a loss for a while, and he was too young to understand what kind of feeling a father should have for his son.

   Wen Jianing saw that he didn’t know what to do, stood up and took off his jacket and said, “I’ll do it.”

   Jian Jun and Ke Xinhang, who just graduated from university this year were actually in the same year.

   Wen Jianing now sat down on the ground, and then looked up at Jian Jun, who then sat down beside Wen Jianing.

   Jian Jun looked a little too calm for his age. He didn’t seem nervous, and he entered the role very quickly. He almost remembered the lines he read once, and his hands were woven in the air with non-existent weed. He seemed to be chatting casually with Wen Jianing next to him, and in fact, his attitude was gentle.

   While talking, Wen Jianing seemed to be sleepy. He yawned and fell asleep on Jian Jun’s shoulder.

   Jian Jun turned his head and glanced at him, smiled, his eyes were gentle, and he then turned back to continue to weave his cricket. After he finished, he put the cricket on Wen Jianing’s head and lowered his head to kiss him on the forehead.

   Wen Jianing was a little surprised. When he raised his head, the performance was over. He turned to look at Lu Jinlang, who was holding a pen in one hand, looking deep in thought.

   When Jian Jun went out, Wen Jianing asked Lu Jinlang, “How about it? Was he not good?” He didn’t see Jian Jun’s performance, but he just didn’t think the last kiss was appropriate.

   Lu Jinlang said, “Do you think his performance is wrong?”

   Wen Jianing said, “You mentioned father and son to him, but the kiss made me feel like it’s a kiss shared by a couple.” As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched his forehead.

   Lu Jinlang’s gaze turned to his forehead following his movements. Jian Jun’s kiss was very light, and of course it would not leave any traces, but Wen Jianing stretched out his hand and rubbed it, and now it was slightly red.

   “Not really,” Lu Jinlang said, and at the same time he subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to touch Wen Jianing’s forehead, but he stretched out his hand and put it back.

   Both of them noticed this movement, but both pretended not to see it.

   Lu Jinlang continued, “Maybe because he hadn’t read the script, he didn’t find a good role positioning. What he just played was a young father playing with his young son, not an old dying father’s reluctance to part with his son.”

   As he heard what Lu Jinlang said, Wen Jianing understood what the kiss meant. He raised his hand, flicked his forehead with his finger, and said, “Do you like him?”

   Lu Jinlang smiled when he heard the words, “I’m considering it.”

   Although he said that, Wen Jianing believed that Lu Jinlang had taken a fancy to Jian Jun. He felt that he could understand because Jian Jun was exactly the same as the cousin in the script they imagined. His acting skills might be a little rough, but he had a good talent and Lu Jinlang had the confidence to maximize his potential.

   The script and actors of ‘Bitter Summer’ were finalized one after another, and before the official filming begins, the new year’s Academy Awards ceremony would be ushered in.

   This year Wen Jianing was no longer a spectator sitting in the corner. He was specially invited by the organizing committee because of his role as Xue You, in ‘Springtime Dream’, he was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award, which was one of the nominations for the film.

   The newcomer award was not an award that attracted too much attention, because many actors of the newcomer award might be unknown for many years after receiving the award, but an award was ultimately an affirmation for the actor. At present, Wen Jianing currently had enough popularity. He needed to win some awards to consolidate his position and let people know that he didn’t just rely on a face to win popularity.

  At the same time, this year Lu Jinlang just won the international award for his role in ‘October Fireworks’, and the call for winning the award was very high. Before, many entertainment programs had made a special analysis for the Academy Award, mainly focusing on whether Lu Jinlang could become the best actor in the Academy award for the third time.

  Wen Jianing watched several special programs on different channels and found that everyone had come to a common conclusion that this little golden man was already in Lu Jinlang’s hand this year.
