　　It was not appropriate for a large family to stand outside and talk, so Lu Jinlang said, “Mom, you and sister in law should go in first before continuing the talk.”

　　When he saw this, Wen Jianing hurriedly said, “Then, I’ll take my leave.”

　　The old lady Lu immediately became anxious. She took Wen Jianing’s hand and said, “Xinhang, I can call you that, right? Are you friends with our third child?”

　　Wen Jianing can only nod, “Yes, Madam Lu.”

　　The old lady patted her chest with her other hand, “I am Xiao He.”

　　Lu Jinlang hurriedly stepped forward to rescue him, reached out to his mother to let her loosen her grip on Wen Jianing, and at the same time said, “Xiao He, don’t make things difficult.” Then he said to Wen Jianing, “You can call her aunt or auntie.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Aunt Lu, I won’t bother you.”

　　Old lady Lu said, “You’re not bothering me, don’t leave in a hurry. Give me an autograph before you go. Sister in law, bring me my notebook!”

　　Kang Huanxian said helplessly, “Mom, you didn’t bring your notebook with you.”

　　Lu Jinlang coaxed her and said, “I will ask Xinhang to give you an autographed photo next time, Okay? He still has something to do now. Why are you stopping him from leaving?”

　　The old lady Lu finally compromised, and Lu Jinlang asked his sister in law to help the other into the house. The old lady turned her head to look at Wen Jianing, clutching her chest with a look of dismay, and it was as if pink bubbles were floating in the air.

　　When he saw that Tong Tong had also entered the house, Lu Jinlang said to Wen Jianing, “I’m sorry to have delayed you.”

　　Wen Jianing looked at Lu Jinlang and shook his head, “Aunt Lu has a lovely personality.”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled softly, “My mom seems to have never grown up in her entire life.” He said as he walked with Wen Jianing toward the parking direction.

　　Wen Jianing sighed, “The old lady must be very happy in life.”

　　Lu Jinlang didn’t speak.

　　The old lady Lu’s life had indeed been considered happy. She was born into a privileged family when she was a child. Everyone in the family treated her like a princess. Later, when she met a poor boy that she had to marry, her family did not object. After getting married, she left it to her husband to continue to spoil her. The only unfortunate thing was that the husband passed away so soon. However, at that time her eldest son, who was already a teenager at that time, was already sensible. The eldest daughter in law was also gentle and virtuous. The husband and wife usually looked after the following two younger brothers and basically didn’t let her worry about anything.

　　The old lady liked beautiful and delicate things and knew how to enjoy life. Sometimes she was like a 17 or 18 year old girl with unrealistic delusions.

　　People like that were like someone who lived inside a fairy tale.

　　After he got into the car, Wen Jianing pressed down the window.　　

　　 Lu Jinlang stood by the car door, slightly lowered his head and said to him, “In addition to your character, there is another male lead. Who do you think is more suitable?”

　　Wen Jianing thought for a moment in silence, and asked Lu Jinlang, “You haven’t thought of a suitable candidate yet?”

　　Lu Jinlang shook his head, “I want to use a newcomer.”

　　Wen Jianing asked, “Why?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “I guess because they have more potential.”

　　Wen Jianing asked him, “Why haven’t you thought about acting in it yourself?”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled lightly and said, “It’s not suitable for me. I don’t have the energy to direct and act on my own either.”

　　Wen Jianing nodded, “You should try and find a suitable newcomer.”

　　With that, Wen Jianing started the car and prepared to leave.

　　”Be careful on the road,” Lu Jinlang said to him.

　　Wen Jianing said, “Okay.”

　　The car drove out slowly. Wen Jianing saw from the rearview mirror that Lu Jinlang stood in place and never moved, and he could not help but raise his head trying to find Lu Jinlang’s figure in the rearview mirror until he could not see the other side anymore.

　　After that, Wen Jianing also began to unconsciously pay attention to the newcomers who were suitable for the role.

　　For this movie, he always had a feeling that it was like his and Lu Jinlang’s joint efforts. Although they were separated, they were going to leave something behind.

　　In fact, this was not a very good thing. If he wanted to break up, it was better not to meet again altogether. Although it was because of work, after spending two days together like this, Wen Jianing felt that he still could feel completely calm.

　　Sometimes he even felt that meeting him like this was an excuse. Only under the cover of this excuse, he would have a reason to meet Lu Jinlang.

　　Wen Jianing lay in front of the computer desk and reached out to fiddle with the pair of bears placed next to the computer. At first, he put them in his bedroom. Later, he felt that they affected his mood and moved to his study. Now he was thinking, why was he bringing them out?

　　Less than a week later, Lu Jinlang called Wen Jianing and asked him to watch a video.

　　Wen Jianing caught a cold these past few days. He spoke in a stuffy voice and asked, “What video?”

　　Lu Jinlang said to him, “I found a good actor.”

　　Wen Jianing drove to Lu Jinlang’s house. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Lu Jinlang’s nephew Tongtong sticking his head out of the two vertical railings on the second floor and staring at him.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “You don’t have to pay any attention to him.”　

　　Lu Jinlang’s so-called video was a disc that someone gave to him. The content was this year’s graduation performance video of the acting major in the Academy of Film. This performance style was closer to drama. Due to the limitations of the stage and distance, everyone’s performances would appear relatively exaggerated, so as to facilitate the audience to capture their expressions and actions. Of course, the drama was also the major test of the actor’s ability, because there was no NG, and no laugh.

　　Wen Jianing sat down on the sofa and heard Lu Jinlang ask, “Do you want to drink coffee?”

　　He shook his head, “I’ll just have hot water.”

　　Lu Jinlang heard that there was something wrong with his voice. He stopped and looked down at him, “Did you catch a cold?”

　　Wen Jianing gave a soft “um”.

　　”Have you taken some medicine?” Lu Jinlang asked.

　　Wen Jianing nodded, “Maybe the medicine doesn’t work that fast.”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Do you want to see the doctor?”

　　Wen Jianing showed hesitation and rejection for an instant.

　　Lu Jinlang said to him, “If it’s doctor Xia, are you still worried?”

　　Wen Jianing hesitated, “Let’s wait for two more days if it doesn’t get better.”

　　Lu Jinlang didn’t force it and went into the kitchen to pour hot water for him.

　　Wen Jianing looked up and saw that Tongtong still stretched his head between the two railings motionless, looking at Wen Jianing blankly.

　　The video was recorded at the performance stage, and the effect was not very good. Moreover, due to the fixed position, the actions and expressions could not be seen clearly from some angles.

　　However, Wen Jianing quickly noticed which newcomer Lu Jinlang said he was looking for. He was a tall young man with firm features and an expressionless face that looked a bit fierce, but once he smiled, he seemed like a bright and easygoing person.

　　Wen Jianing couldn’t help but lean closer to take a closer look.

　　After the video was over, he said to Lu Jinlang, “I think he’s good, but ask him to do an audition.”

　　After he finished speaking, he sneezed twice.

　　Lu Jinlang handed him the toilet paper, and sighed softly, “Take care of your body.”

　　While wiping his nose with a tissue, Wen Jianing looked up at Lu Jinlang. When he wanted to say something, he noticed Tongtong who was looking at him on the second floor.

　　”Your nephew is still there,” Wen Jianing felt that the child was a little weird.

　　Lu Jinlang still said, “Don’t worry about him.” He stood up, “Wait a minute, I’ll make a call first.”

　　After Lu Jinlang left, Wen Jianing walked toward the stairs, raised his head and looked up, “Kid? What are you doing?”

　　Tongtong opened his mouth, then looked sideways and found that Lu Jinlang was not there. He then said in a low voice to Wen Jianing, “My head is stuck.”

　　Wen Jianing’s eyes widened, and hurriedly ran upstairs to squat down beside him, “Your head is stuck?”

　　Tongtong said, “Shh, keep your voice down.”

　　Wen Jianing could hardly understand,  “Why don’t you tell your third uncle?”

　　Tongtong said, “He’ll tell my dad, and my dad will beat me up.”

　　Wen Jianing didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. He stretched out his hand to test the position where Tongtong was stuck and found that the gap was not too tight and would not affect his breathing, but he did not dare to pull his head out, mainly because he was afraid of hurting the child.

　　When Tongtong saw Wen Jianing about to stand up, he quickly grabbed him, “Don’t tell him.”

　　Wen Jiaying, who could care less about this at this time, said, “Don’t be silly. If your dad knows it too late, he will be distressed. He won’t beat you. Won’t your third uncle find out if you are stuck here all night?”

　　When he heard what Wen Jianing said, Tongtong thought about it and compromised.

　　Wen Jianing shouted to Lu Jinlang and told him that his nephew’s head was stuck in the railing.

　　Afraid of hurting the child, they didn’t dare to pull his head out with brute force. Finally, they found someone to help and deform the two wooden railings with tools, so that Tongtong smoothly stretched out his head.

　　During this time, Lu Jinxin arrived. Tongtong, who had never cried from beginning to end, was scared when he saw him and kept hiding behind Lu Jinlang.

　　Lu Jinlang stopped in front of Lu Jinxin and said, “It’s all my fault. I didn’t watch the kid properly. Don’t scare him.”

　　Lu Jinxin said, “I didn’t say I wanted to hit him,” he waved to Tongtong. “Come here and let me see.”

　　Tongtong hesitated for a moment, Lu Jinlang knelt down and said to him, “Go to your Dad, he won’t hit you.” Then Tongtong finally walked in Lu Jinxin’s direction.

　　Lu Jinxin picked him up and checked his neck and head for any injuries. “Should we go to the hospital to check it?” he asked.

　　Wen Jianing said, “He isn’t stuck that bad, the gap in the middle is quite loose.”

　　Lu Jinxin looked at Wen Jianing, and then asked Lu Jinlang, “Why is he here again? Didn’t you two break up?”

　　Wen Jianing was a little unhappy when he heard his impolite tone. He put his hands in his pockets and said, “What does it have to do with you?”

　　Before Lu Jinxin was provoked, Lu Jinlang said, “If it weren’t for him, I might not have found the child stuck until now.”

　　Lu Jinxin heard what he said, and he turned his head to look at his son. His expression facing Wen Jianing suddenly eased a lot

　　Lu Jinlang continued, “Leaving Tongtong here with me is not the solution. I don’t have the time and energy to watch over him for 24 hours. You know how your son’s character is. I’m afraid that something will happen next time. Send him to mom’s side, at least the second sister in law will help watch him.”

　　Lu Jinxin stretched out his big hand to rub his son’s head.

　　Tongtong seemed to feel aggrieved suddenly. He opened his mouth and cried out, saying, “I miss mom.”

　　Lu Jinlang said to him, “You know you don’t have the right to prevent a mother and her son from seeing each other, do you?”

　　Lu Jinxin said, “I will take him back first.”

　　Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing sent Lu Jinxin out together. Lu Jinxin still hadn’t got the answer yet, so he turned back and asked Lu Jinlang, “Did you guys get back together again?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Mr. Lu, please speak politely.”

　　Lu Jinlang smiled, “What is it to you?”

　　Lu Jinxin cursed in a low voice. He turned and got into the car with his son. Before he left, he pressed the window and waved his hand to Wen Jianing and said, “Thank you.”

　　Wen Jianing waved back, “You’re welcome.”

　　Wen Jianing coughed twice as he watched Lu Jinxin drive away.

　　Lu Jinlang reached out and took off his jacket and dr4p3d it over his shoulders.

　　”No need,” Wen Jianing quickly refused.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Wear it, and be careful of catching a cold again.”

　　When he went back that night, Wen Jianing’s cold got worse. He took the medicine and wrapped himself up in bed. He thought that maybe it would be better if he wanted to sleep.

　　However, he didn’t know if it was because his body felt uncomfortable, but he was groggy and didn’t fall asleep for a long time. His breath was burning, and his nose and mouth were so hot and sore that he felt that he might have a fever.

　　He didn’t find any fever inducing medicine at home. He always thought he was young and fit before, but he didn’t expect a small cold to last a few days.

　　 Wen Jianing finally chose to call Xia Yan. In fact, Wen Jianing was really thankful to Lu Jinlang. Lu Jinlang was right. Since the two of them couldn’t last for a lifetime, they should always make more plans for themselves. He couldn’t never not get sick.

　　Xia Yan came over after more than an hour.

　　Wen Jianing heard the doorbell sound, got up from the bed wearing pyjamas and went down to open the door, but when he opened the door, he saw Lu Jinlang standing outside the door.

　　At that moment, Wen Jianing was a little taken aback. He thought he had dialled the wrong number.

　　But Lu Jinlang came with Xia Yan, and the person who called Lu Jinlang was Xia Yan. His original intention was that Lu Jinlang could accompany him when he was treating Wen Jianing so that he could reduce the other party’s resistance. He didn’t know about the awkward relationship between Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing now.

　　Lu Jinlang asked Wen Jianing to go back and lie down on the bed.

　　Xia Yan took out his stethoscope and stood by the bed to examine him.

　　In fact, Wen Jianing had not recovered from his cold, and now he had a fever. His body felt uncomfortable, but Xia Yan says it was not too serious. He left Wen Jianing a fever-reducing medicine and asked him to take the medicine on time.

　　”Thank you,” Lu Jinlang got up and sent him downstairs.

　　Xia Yan said, “If the fever still doesn’t go away after two hours, it’s best to send him to the hospital. I have no way to inject him with a fever-reducing injection now, so I can only continue to observe.”

　　Lu Jinlang heard the words and said, “I know.”

　　After sending Xia Yan out, Lu Jinlang returned to Wen Jianing’s room on the second floor and found that he seemed to have fallen asleep. Probably the medicine Xia Yan prescribed contained sleeping ingredients.

　　This was the first time Lu Jinlang had come into Wen Jianing’s house. He couldn’t help but raise his head and look around the house. In fact, if Lu Jinlang had been in the past, he would have known that this house was almost the same as in the past, but it was a pity that he would not find anything now.

　　Wen Jianing on the bed slept deeply. Lu Jinlang sat on the edge of the bed, and after a while, he stretched out his hand to touch his head. His hands were full of sweat, but his body temperature was slowly reduced.

　　Wen Jianing stayed asleep until dawn the next morning. He opened his eyes and felt confused. It took a while to recall what happened last night.

　　It was quiet inside the house, and he was alone.

　　He thought that Lu Jinlang had left with Xia Yan last night, but when he went downstairs, he heard a noise from the kitchen and walked over to find that Lu Jinlang was making breakfast.

　　It was like waking up to many mornings before when he could see Lu Jinlang’s back in the kitchen when he got up. In today’s atmosphere, Wen Jianing felt somewhat uncomfortable for no reason. Of course, this could be attributed to his mental frailty caused by his illness.

　　”You’re awake already?” Lu Jinlang asked him, “Have some porridge. You don’t have much here, so I can only cook some white porridge.”

　　Wen Jianing wanted to speak but found his voice completely hoarse overnight. He then said “Thank you,” with some difficulty.

　　Lu Jinlang smiled and said nothing.

　　He put the porridge on the dining table, Wen Jianing sat down and asked Lu Jinlang, “Where did you sleep last night?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Sofa.”

　　”I’m sorry,” Wen Jianing said.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Stop talking and get a doctor sooner next time before it drags on badly again.”

　　Wen Jianing nodded.

　　After eating, Lu Jinlang took the bowl to the kitchen to wash, and Wen Jianing went to the bathroom to take a shower.

　　The bathroom equipment inside the bathroom had not been changed since Wen Jianing moved back to live there. It still used the old water heater and shower. He didn’t know if it is due to ageing, but at this time, the nozzle was a bit blocked and the hot water couldn’t get out for half a day.

　　Wen Jianing took off all his clothes, and suddenly felt an unspeakable frustration, so he sat down next to the bathtub naked.

　　After a while, the bathroom door suddenly opened from the outside.

　　Wen Jianing raised his head in surprise and realized that he was usually alone and used to not having thought to lock the bathroom door.

　　The person who came in was Lu Jinlang. Wen Jianing was frantically looking for clothes, but he didn’t even have any at hand.

　　Lu Jinlang reached out and took the bath towel hung on the wall and threw it to him.

　　He hurriedly blocked his lower body and asked, “Why did you get in here?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “I didn’t hear the sound of the water running, and I thought you fainted. What? Still not sick enough to be out here in the cold without clothes?”

　　Wen Jianing sighed and said, “The shower is broken.”

　　Lu Jinlang walked to him and said, “Get up, let me see.”

       Wen Jianing didn’t go to see ‘Springtime Dream’, but his performance in this movie was highly praised.

　　The first to give a response was the netizens who went to the cinema to see the movie. Many people commented that the movie was average, but watching Ke Xinhang was worth the ticket price.

　　Later, a well-known movie critic on a website wrote a movie review, in which Wen Jianing’s performance was mentioned in great length:

“The movie always carries Cao’s familiar style. If the performances of the heroes and heroines are quite satisfactory, then the biggest surprise this movie brings us should be Ke Xinhang. He is a ‘man’ who is young, beautiful, clean, with a girlish heart who can support his best friend at a critical time. It turns out that a sissy can still be like this, not twisted and not pretentious. While naturally he doesn’t forget to remind the audience that: he is a woman in his heart.

In fact, Ke Xinhang’s acting skills were initially reflected in ‘The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix’ TV series. However, the style of idol drama and the fast-pace shooting method make it easy to ignore the acting and only focus on some other aspects. Now looking back, Xiao Zongyan’s natural sassy character comes not only from Ke Xinhang’s perfect face but also from his wonderful interpretation. I think we have reasons to have greater expectations for Ke Xinhang. “

　　Naturally, it goes without saying that Ke Xinhang’s fans were very fiery on the Internet and were eager to announce to everyone that their idol was not just a face.

　　It was just that Wen Jianing, who was the person in the spotlight, hadn’t been in the mood to care about these lately.

　　The company struck while the iron was hot and arranged a small meet and greet for him. At the meet and greet, Wen Lin was also invited to sing the theme song of ‘The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix’ with him.

　　It could be said that the ticket to the meet and greet that day was hard to acquire, and it was sold at a high price on the internet.

　　Almost at the same time, the TV series starring Yi Nan and Wen Lin aired. Since it was adapted from a well-known game, and at the same time invited a very well-known screenwriter to make the adaptation. The rating of the TV series went all the way to high ratings from the beginning of the broadcast.

　　Wen Jianing, who had only a total of one scene as a celestial being, was shocked.

　　After the first episode of the TV series was broadcasted, Wen Jianing’s long and flowing hair was captured on the internet by the audience, which immediately caused a lot of reposts.

　　Wen Jianing had instantly become the most talked about and most popular male celebrity at the moment.

　　With two TV dramas in succession, Wen Lin had also accumulated a lot of popularity, but he was still far from Wen Jianing.

　　Including Yi Nan.

　　In the past in the singing competitions, Yi Nan used to look down on Wen Jianing, and until now, he also still thought that Wen Jianing and Wen Lin were inferior to him when it comes to singing. However, in terms of acting, he had to admit that Wen Jianing’s acting skills were for all to see, and naturally, he was unable to catch up with all his efforts.

　　Now that Wen Jianing returned to the company, even Jiang Yongfei had to greet him politely when she saw him. It was rumoured from the outside that Lei Xing would step up their efforts to promote Ke Xinhang to the top, and Jiang Yongfei’s positions would inevitably be affected.

　　At this time, Bai Shengzhe asked Zheng Xin to call Wen Jianing back to the company to officially meet with the producer of the new movie.

　　The new movie was invested by Lu Jinlang in the name of Lei Xing as the main investor. And the producer was a friend of Bai Shengzhe, whose name was Ji Mingcheng.

　　Bai Shengzhe said bluntly to Wen Jianing, “This movie is invested specifically for you. The director is Lu Jinlang, and you are the leading actor. You should be all clear, right?”

　　When he heard Lu Jinlang’s name, Wen Jianing took a deep breath and said, “I know.”

　　Ji Mingcheng was very kind. He shook hands with Wen Jianing and said, “Although I am the producer of this movie, it is Mr. Lu who really checks from beginning to end. He is now discussing the script with the screenwriter. This is his first work as a director, which is very groundbreaking.”

　　Wen Jianing nodded.

　　Ji Mingcheng said to Wen Jianing, “And once the funds are in place, we will pay you in advance.”

　　Wen Jianing was a little surprised and looked at Bai Shengzhe.

　　Bai Shengzhe said, “This is what Lu Jinlang wants. He knows that you have not paid the final payment for the house.”

　　Wen Jianing put his hands on the table and gently wiggled his fingers.

　　Before Ji Mingcheng finally left, he said to Wen Jianing, “The script is almost finished with revisions. The next time we meet, the whole crew will meet together with the main creators. I look forward to working with you.”

　　Wen Jianing shook hands with him again.

　　Less than a week later, Lu Jinlang called Wen Jianing and asked him if he was free to receive an email online.

　　”What is it?” Wen Jianing asked.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “The movie script.”

　　Wen Jianing downloaded the script by email, and saw that the tentative title was ‘Bitter Summer’, and the screenwriter was a well-known screenwriter in the industry, named Han Rong.

　　The protagonist of this movie was a college student. During the summer vacation of his sophomore year, he got the news that the single mother who raised him alone was going to remarry. Because he was upset, he called from his father’s home and was told that his father was seriously ill and was about to die.

　　Because his parents divorced before he went to elementary school, he had only seen his father once a year in recent years, and he hadn’t seen his father since he went to college. He was actually indifferent to his father’s imminent death.

　　But he was unwilling to go back to face his mother who was about to remarry. He chose to go to his father’s home village to see his father for the last time. When he arrived, his father lay unconscious in bed, but he had not breathed his last breath.

　　It was the hottest time of summer, without air conditioning and showers, and drinking water could only be poured from the kettle. The protagonist was caught in the heat and lay down on the bed dejectedly, complaining about how could his father still be alive. The relatives in the family couldn’t stand him being pretentious. At this time, only one cousin who looked ferocious and behaved outrageously in the village expressed concern for him.

　　His cousin brought him medicine, helped him pour water and take a bath, and bought him frozen mineral water from the outside. After he recovered, he followed his cousin who knew everything around. He told his cousin about the bitterness in his heart, and he advised him to think about it and to accept the fact that his mother had remarried. He also followed his cousin and looked through the photos of his parents when they were young and read the love letters between them at that time. His mood gradually calmed down. When his mother called, he was able to talk calmly with his mother and even said hello to his stepfather.

　　It seemed that everything was getting better until one night the cousin came to say goodbye to him. He was puzzled, and when he wanted to ask more clearly, his cousin hurriedly left. That night, his father died in the hospital bed. He saw him for the last time and was grasped by his dry palm.

　　When he saw his cousin again, the cousin returned to his original ferocious appearance and wouldn’t say a word to him. He began to want to find the memories he shared with his cousin but found that all those memories belonged to his father……

　　This was where the story comes to an abrupt end. The ending appeared to be both a tragedy and a comedy; There seems to be some regret, but when you think about it carefully, there was nothing to regret.

　　Wen Jianing called Lu Jinlang, “I’ve finished reading it.”

　　”How is it?” Lu Jinlang asked him.

　　Wen Jianing said, “Very good, very touching.”

　　Lu Jinlang asked him again, “Are there any changes that need to be made?”

　　Wen Jianing hesitated, “Some small details.”

　　Lu Jinlang paused for a while. Wen Jianing seemed to hear what he was talking to others and then said to him after a while, “Well, come over to me tomorrow if you are free. I’ll make an appointment with Han Rong for another modification. After the revision, the draft will be finalized.” After that, he added, “Is it alright with you?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “It’s alright.” But he quickly asked, “Where are you?” He wasn’t sure whether Lu Jinlang was still in the house where they lived together.

　　Lu Jinlang said to him, “The house in the western suburbs.” He had moved back to his villa.

　　When Wen Jianing arrived, Han Rong hadn’t arrived yet.

　　Lu Jinlang was watering the flowers on the balcony on the second floor. Wen Jianing saw him as soon as he looked up.

　　Lu Jinlang put down the watering can, waved to him, and then walked down to the first floor.

　　Wen Jianing was actually familiar with the villa. He didn’t need to wait for Lu Jinlang to attend to him. He changed his shoes and walked in. He saw Lu Jinlang coming down the stairs.

　　As Lu Jinlang went down the stairs, he said, “Please wait a minute. Han Rong said he was temporarily delayed and might be half an hour late.” With that, Lu Jinlang went into the kitchen to pour water for him.

　　Wen Jianing sat down on the sofa.

　　Lu Jinlang came out of the kitchen and put the water glass on the coffee table in front of Wen Jianing. If it were past, he would probably just put the water cup directly into Wen Jianing’s hands.

　　”Thank you,” said Wen Jianing.

　　Lu Jinlang sat down on the single sofa next to him. He was wearing a white cotton shirt and loose light coloured trousers at home. He looked particularly gentle.

　　It would be a lie to say that it was not awkward at all. Wen Jianing didn’t know how Lu Jinlang felt, and it was the first time he had this kind of experience of facing his former lover. On the outside, he could behave naturally without caring. After all, so many years of acting experience were not in vain.

　　As for whether Lu Jinlang was just acting or if he really didn’t care, Wen Jianing couldn’t tell.

　　Lu Jinlang mentioned the script of the movie, and Wen Jianing picked up the conversation.

　　”I thought it would be a romance,” he said.

　　 Due to various restrictions in domestic movies, it was always difficult to work on visual effects. If they wanted to make a good movie, most of them had to rely on emotional expression.

　　 Love had become an eternal theme in this regard.

　　 Lu Jinlang said, “At the beginning when I discussed it with Han Rong. He also was leaning toward romance movies. It was me who suggested whether there was anything more warm and moving than romance.”

　　 The script was written by Han Rong, but it mainly expressed Lu Jinlang’s intention. In a sense, this movie would be a movie that was shot completely in accordance with what Lu Jinlang wanted.

　　 Wen Jianing nodded, “I like the script very much.”

　　 Lu Jinlang suddenly said, “My father passed away relatively early. For a long time, my eldest brother supported the family. Maybe there are some plots of my brother and father in it.”

　　Wen Jianing’s father also passed away early and he was brought up by his mother, so he could understand Lu Jinlang’s feelings. But he couldn’t say much, because he was Ke Xinhang, not Wen Jianing.

　　After a while, Han Rong hurried over, and Wen Jianing began to discuss the details of the script revision with him.

　　Before this, Lu Jinlang had already communicated with Han Rong many times, and so at this time he mostly sat next to him and listened in silence.

　　Even so, Wen Jianing could not ignore Lu Jinlang’s presence at all. Every little movement Lu Jinlang made, Wen Jianing would be able to notice it.

　　After a long discussion, Lu Jinlang stood up and said, “Let’s go out and have something to eat together?”

　　Before Wen Jianing could answer, he suddenly heard a violent braking sound from outside the house.

　　Lu Jinlang walked toward the door, and Wen Jianing and Han Rong followed.

　　When they came out of the house, they only saw a car parked on the side of the road in front of the house. Lu Jinxin got out of the car, opened the passenger’s door and pulled the little boy who was sitting inside out.

　　The little boy was naturally his son Tongtong. At this time, Tongtong was holding the door with all his strength and refused to get off.

　　Lu Jinlang picked up his pace and walked over. He grabbed Lu Jinxin’s hand, and said, “What are you doing?”

　　Tongtong saw Lu Jinlang as if he had seen a saviour, so he hugged Lu Jinlang’s waist and said, “I want to go home!”

　　Lu Jinxin finally released his hand and said to Lu Jinlang, “Let him stay with you for two days.”

　　Lu Jinlang reached out and touched Tongtong’s head, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

　　Lu Jinxin said, “His mother is fvcking crazy.”

　　The husband and wife had been arguing over and over again about the divorce. Until now, they still hadn’t made it clear, and Lu Jinlang had never interfered. However, judging from Lu Jinxin’s action this time, it seemed that they were going to completely end the matter.

　　Tongtong began to cry, “I want my mother.”

　　Lu Jinxin was grumpy and yelled at Tongtong, “Your mother? Your mother was fooling around with other men outside and didn’t want you. Don’t you know?”

　　After he yelled, Wen Jianing and Han Rong looked at each other and suddenly felt awkward. After all, Lu Jinxin was a figure with a good reputation and was respected. He definitely didn’t want people to know about the matter of his wife cheating.

　　And Lu Jinxin only realized that there was someone else in Lu Jinlang at this time. With a sullen face, he said to Lu Jinlang, “Lock him up and break his legs if he dares to run! I’ll go first.”

　　With that, Lu Jinxin got in the car before Lu Jinlang could react.

　　Before he left, Lu Jinxin once again stressed it to Lu Jinlang, “Don’t let his mother take him away.”

　　Tongtong was carried by Lu Jinlang, and he buried his head on his shoulders.

　　As soon as Lu Jinxin left, Han Rong immediately said goodbye to Lu Jinlang.

　　Wen Jianing originally wanted to leave, but Lu Jinlang said to him, “Wait for two minutes, I will go up and get something and help me look at the child, okay?”

　　He could not think of a suitable reason to refuse.

　　Lu Jinlang handed Tongtong to him and hurried upstairs by himself.

　　Wen Jianing looked down and saw that the child was looking at him with wide eyes. He had forgotten everything about crying for his mother just now. Suddenly he asked him, “Are you Xiao Zongyan?”

　　The Lu family accompanied the old lady to watch the entire ‘The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix’.

　　Wen Jianing smiled and said, “I am not.”

　　Tongtong said, “You look exactly the same! I know you are Xiao Zongyan’s actor, and my third uncle is also a big star.”

　　Wen Jianing was about to answer him when he heard the sound of a car coming.

　　A car stopped in front of Lu Jinlang’s house. The door opened and two women came down. One was a very old lady full of white hair, and another woman appeared to be well-dressed in her forties. The woman helped the old lady walk towards Wen Jianing and Tongtong.

　　Tongtong broke free from Wen Jianing, ran towards the old lady and yelled, “Grandma!”

　　The old lady was naturally Lu Jinlang’s mother, whose real name was Yu He, and the woman next to her was Lu Jinlang’s sister-in-law, whose name was Kang Huanxian.

　　The old lady Lu was here to pick up her grandson, but when she saw Wen Jianing standing next to her grandson, she was stunned. After a while, she went to pull Kang Huanxian’s hand with some excitement and said, “Sister in law*, look, isn’t this Xiao Zongyan?”

　　Kang Huanxian felt a little embarrassed by the fuss she was making at her age, and whispered, “Mom, take it easy.”

　　The old lady Lu totally ignored her and the grandson who ran over her. She walked in the direction of Wen Jianing and said, “Can you take a picture with me?”

　　”Mom!” Kang Huanxian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

　　Wen Jianing couldn’t react for a moment. He had guessed the identity of these two people. He thought perhaps she was Lu Jinlang’s mother, and he couldn’t help but be a little respectful. Although he felt that the location and atmosphere were inappropriate, he still couldn’t refuse the request for a group photo.

　　When Lu Jinlang came downstairs and walked out of the door, he saw his mother holding Wen Jianing’s arm, and his sister-in-law took out her phone to help them take pictures.

　　The old lady Lu was not satisfied after taking a picture herself, and she waved to Tongtong, “Come and take a picture together.”

　　Kang Huanxian said, “Mom, it’s going to be pretty much the same.”

　　Lu Jinlang came over and said to Kang Huanxian, “It’s okay, Sister in law, just take a picture of them.”

　　Only after taking two more pictures, the old lady Lu was willing to give up. Then she proceeded to grab Wen Jianing’s hand and said, “Your name is Ke Xinhang, right? We all enjoyed watching your performance in the  ‘The Strange Fate of Hairpin and Phoenix'”

　　Wen Jianing quickly said, “Thank you, Madam Lu.”

　　Old lady Lu said, “Don’t call me Madam, you just call me by name, my name is Yu He, you can call me Xiao He.”

　　Lu Jinlang couldn’t listen any longer. He interrupted their conversation and said to the old lady Lu, “Why are you here?”

　　Only then did the old lady Lu come back to her senses. She remembered why she came here and said unhappily, “Tongtong is doing just fine with me. He doesn’t know what kind of madness he did early in the morning, that he must take him away.”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Maybe he’s afraid that second sister in law will come and look for Tongtong.”

　　The old lady Lu is still very upset, “Does he not trust me taking care of Tongtong? Can Zhujia come to me to take him away?”

　　Ye Zhujia was the name of Lu Jinlang’s second sister in law.

　　When Wen Jianing looked at the family, his only regret was not being able to leave as quickly as Han Rong.

*Yu He calling Kang Huanxian sister in law is not a mistranslation. She friggin’ called her daughter in law sister in law. There will be indirect explanation later on why Yu He decided to call her sister in law.

       Later, when he saw that Lu Jinlang had passed out from drinking, Wen Jianing called Lu Yunan and asked him to come up and pick up Lu Jinlang.

       When Lu Yunan arrived, he hesitated when he saw Wen Jianing. When he helped Lu Jinlang away, he thought that Wen Jianing would go with them, so he called him out in a low voice, “Xinhang?”

       Wen Jianing shook his head, “It’s getting late, please send Mr. Lu back to rest.”

       In front of the people outside, Lu Yunan didn’t say much, and helped Lu Jinlang to leave.

       Wen Jianing sat for a while, and Wen Tinghuan came to pick him up, so he also said goodbye and left.

       Sitting in the car, Wen Tinghuan immediately asked, “I heard that it was ‘October Fireworks’ that gave Lu Jinlang a celebration banquet?”

       Wen Jianing smiled, “You know it again?”

       Wen Tinghuan said, “I am well informed!”

       Wen Jianing didn’t speak. He leaned his head on the car window glass, hoping to reduce the hot temperature of his body.

       Wen Tinghuan saw that he was not calm, and asked, “What? Seeing Lu Jinglang rekindle your old love?”

       Wen Jianing smiled upon hearing this.

       Wen Tinghuan said, “It’s not that I haven’t been in love before. Love that is so easy to control, can’t be called love.”

       Wen Jianing said, “Who said that I am in love with him? No, I should say who said he and I were in love?”

　　Wen Tinghuan drove the car and looked at him distractedly, “It’s useless for others to say anything about feelings. You can’t tell whether you are in love or not? I’m not concerned about your affairs anyway.”

　　Wen Jianing propped his head with one hand and stopped talking, but all he thought about was Lu Jinlang tonight.

　　Although Lu Jinlang said that he did not agree to break up, the two were separated after all. Each lived on one side, and it took more than an hour to drive the distance between each other.

　　Wen Jianing did not go to Lu Jinlang, nor did Lu Jinlang come to him.

　　These days, ‘October Fireworks’ had started to be officially advertised. Lu Jinlang had attended many publicity activities, and Wen Jianing could see him on TV programs from time to time. Although he was also an actor in the movie, it was almost unnecessary for Wen Jianing to participate in the publicity activities because his role was so minor. However, only because the name Ke Xinhang was now so popular, his name was also included in the movie poster. The photo of him that was used was of him using glasses in black and white. The photo looked a little dull, but they couldn’t hide the beauty and delicacy between his eyes and eyebrows that made him look like a well-behaved young student.

　　At the same time as ‘October Fireworks’, there was another romantic comedy performed by Wen Jianing called ‘Springtime Dream’. The two romance films were released on the day of the Qixi Festival* at the same time.

　　The promotional poster of ‘Springtime Dream’ only had Ke Xinhang’s name and not his photos, but his role in this movie was much more substantial. So he had to attend the next series of promotional activities.

　　During this period, he participated in a TV talk show with the heroine Mu Huaqi and the director Cao Songquan.

　　The host of the talk show program was not ignoring Wen Jianing because he was a supporting role in the movie. On the contrary, the host asked him a lot of questions because of his recent popularity.

　　Wen Jianing answered with ease.

　　Then the host asked, “Have you heard the news about Lu Jinlang winning an award recently?”

　　Wen Jianing nodded.

　　The host said, “I heard that you were also involved in the film?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “It was the first movie I participated in since I joined the industry, but it was just a minor role with few scenes.”

　　The host asked him, “Your movie has been two romance movies in a row, do you plan to develop in the direction of movies in the future instead of shooting TV series?”

　　”Of course not,” Wen Jianing denied, “As long as there is a good script, I will still shoot.”

　　In fact, the host still intended to ask some questions about Lu Jinlang, but since the show was arranged for the crew of ‘Springtime Dream’, it is not easy to ask for too much detail.

　　Soon it would be the time for the Qixi Festival. The two romance movies; ‘October Fireworks’ and ‘Springtime Dream’ were released at the same time. Both the directors were famous and had good reputations, and the cast was not weak. Of course, in comparison to ‘October Fireworks’ where Lu Jinlang recently won a grand prize, it was easier for ‘October Fireworks’ to attract the audience to check out the movie. The romantic comedy route taken by ‘Springtime Dream was also likeable in this festive atmosphere. There were also young girls who go to the cinema to watch the role Wen Jianing played.

　　Anyway, the two movies premiered one after another. The box office was not indecisive and both could develop well taking advantage of the momentum of the festival.

　　On the day of the Qixi Festival, Wen Jianing had nothing to do and asked Wen Tinghuan to book him a ticket for ‘October Fireworks’.

　　Wen Tinghuan was baffled, “Are you going to see it alone?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Yeah, or if you didn’t have a date, can you accompany me to see it?”

　　Wen Tinghuan said, “It’s a big festival, who wants to go to the movies with you!”

　　Wen Jianing said helplessly, “It’s not like I am the only one who is going to see it. So much nonsense.”

　　Wen Tinghuan asked him cautiously, “You really are not going with someone else?”

　　”Well,” Wen Jianing said frankly, “No one asked. So stop nagging.”

　　Wen Tinghuan was still chatty, “Even without Lu Jinlang, you can still find someone else. Even if it’s a male, Ting jie is fine with it.”

　　Wen Jianing felt a little funny, “You have no objection, but I have an opinion.”

　　Except for Lu Jinlang, others really won’t do anymore. Even with Lu Jinlang, it was only due to an unexpected turn of events that things developed into how it was today. It seemed a little sad to say, but it was a thing that could not be helped.

　　Wen Tinghuan finally booked him a ticket. With a mask and cap, Wen Jianing entered the cinema after the beginning of the movie and sat alone in the last row.

　　At this time, the entire theatre was full, and only one vacant seat was left beside him.  Wen Tinghuan complained to him that the cinema had actually refused to sell single movie tickets tonight and that she must go and complain to them.

　　Wen Jianing had not watched the ‘October Fireworks’ movie completely. He missed the beginning. When he came in, the male lead played by Lu Jinlang and the heroine played by Jin Zhenzhen had already met.

　　In fact, there was nothing very special in this movie storyline, but Fang Wei’s storytelling methods always made people feel that they were permeated with real emotions. In the mainland town in the nineties, the young girl washing clothes in a large plastic basin, and the honeycomb briquette stacked in the corridor of the building made it easy for the people from that era to resonate.

　　So in addition to young couples, there were also many middle-aged couples in the cinema.

　　In fact, when Wen Jianing came to see this scene, it was because of Lu Jinlang. He wanted to see how good Lu Jinlang’s performance was and how it could enable him to win that kind of award.

　　In the movie, Lu Jinlang’s most popular costume was a white tight-fitting tank top with a loose jacket and dark green camouflage trousers underneath. His jacket was always unbuttoned and dr4p3d over his body, showing his strong but not exaggerated muscles.

　　Fang Wei had a good eye for choosing people. Jin Zhenzhen’s acting skills were very green, but the whole scene was just right. That shyness was natural and straightforward, and it was completely in line with the character’s personality.

　　Just like in this scene, when the fuse in the heroine’s house was burnt, and she couldn’t do anything because she was alone at home. The male lead who lived alone next door found out and took the initiative to change the fuse for her.

　　The two were very close, Jin Zhenzhen held a flashlight in her hand to help Lu Jinlang illuminate the room.

　　When Lu Jinlang inadvertently looked back and the two looked at each other, Jin Zhenzhen’s surprised shyness appeared on her face, and there was no trace of it as just an act. Even Wen Jianing felt that at that moment, Jin Zhenzhen really felt shy.

　　At this moment, a tall figure suddenly walked to the empty seat beside Wen Jianing and sat down. Wen Jianing turned his head curiously and saw that the person beside him pushed the cap bill** slightly higher, revealing his handsome face.

　　The person who came was no one else but Lu Jinlang.

　　The movie theatre was very quiet. Wen Jianing lowered his voice and asked him, “Why are you here?” There’s no need to think about it, he knew that the only one who sold his whereabouts was Wen Tinghuan.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “I called you, but you didn’t answer.”

　　Wen Jianing fetched his phone and noticed that there were two missed calls. He had turned the phone on silent as soon as he entered the theatre.

　　Neither of them continued talking and watched the movie silently.

　　The story alternates between the eyes of the male and female lead. The city youth who came to the town to hide from the wounded, and the good and serious young girl in love. One was teasing carelessly, and the other was evading but gradually falling into him.

　　When the character played by Wen Jianing appeared, they heard a girl sitting in the front row whispering to her boyfriend, “This is Ke Xinhang, right?”

　　The boy laughed out loud and said, “It seems to be, he seems so silly.”

　　Wen Jianing couldn’t help but smile when he heard the words, because his role was indeed a bit silly.

　　But the girl next to him was not convinced and said, “He’s still very handsome. Hanghang is always handsome in all of his clothes.”

　　The boy said, “Bah!”

　　Wen Jianing subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Lu Jinlang next to him. He was also looking at him, and both of them smiled slightly.

　　In the latter part of the movie, the atmosphere slowly became heavy. The heroine’s love was opposed by her parents. She was punished to kneel on the aisle of the building. Her father took a feather duster and hit her on the back. The two young couples chose to elope. It was the National Day*** and there was a fireworks display in the town.

　　With the sky full of fireworks in the background, the male lead and heroine were making love under the bridge of the town surrounding the river.

　　The entire scenery was very dark. Only the outline of the characters can be seen, and the friction of clothes and fierce breathing sounds could be heard.

　　When Wen Jianing saw this, he clearly felt that it was just Lu Jinlang’s acting. Lu Jinlang was not like that when he was making love. He was never eager or reckless. Even if he was angry, he would only be more intense but more controlled, just like in the bathroom that night.

　　They left before they finished watching the ending. Naturally, they didn’t see the second look of Wen Jianing, which was later regarded as a classic shot. The makeup in that shot had been changed so that they couldn’t see Wen Jianing’s original face.

　　Wen Jianing felt that this drama was not suitable for the Qixi Festival, because the ending was a bit stressful. People lived in the world and constantly endure the pressure of reality. In fantasy works such as movies and novels, they still wanted to feel more happiness.

　　When they came out, Lu Jinlang asked him if he wanted to watch ‘Springtime Dream’. However, Wen Jianing gave up when he saw that there were too many people in the ticket office. The two went directly to the underground parking lot through the unoccupied safe passage.

　　Wen Jianing came by himself, but Lu Yunan drive Lu Jinlang here. After he arrived, he asked Lu Yunan to go back first.

　　So Wen Jianing said to Lu Jinlang, “Where are you going? I’ll give you a ride.”

　　Lu Jinlang sat in the passenger seat and said to Wen Jianing, “I’m sorry for what happened that day. I drank too much.”

　　Wen Jianing smiled, “It’s okay, I know you drank too much.”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “In fact, these days I have been thinking about how to deal with our relationship.”

　　Wen Jianing was going to start the car when he stopped and turned his head to look at him.

　　Lu Jinlang suddenly laughed at himself, “I found that you are much calmer than me in handling this matter, and I should apologize to you. I’m an adult, not to mention that I am 10 years older than you,” he said. While speaking, he stretched out his hand and touched Wen Jianing’s head. “I ought to know how to part without hard feelings.”

　　Wen Jianing looked at him quietly.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “You should have heard some news. I invested in making a film in the name of Lei Xing. I plan to try to be a director for the first time, and you will be the leading actor. It may be a little different from Fang Wei’s movie that you originally expected, but these days I have been taking further courses in directing, and I still have some confidence in myself and want to give it a try.”

　　”Do you plan to become a director in the future?” Wen Jianing asked him.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “I’m interested in both acting and directing. I’m not nailing myself to the frame.”

　　Wen Jianing continued to ask him, “Do you want to get back together with me now?”

　　Lu Jinlang leaned back in his chair and looked at him, “Actually, we should have made it clear when you moved away. Do you remember what you said to Yan Ruowei on the dinner terrace after the awards ceremony? “

　　Wen Jianing was slightly stunned.

　　Lu Jinlang said, “I was in the room upstairs and heard your quarrel from the window.”

　　Wen Jianing suddenly recalled the conversation he heard between Lu Jinlang and Lu Jinxin. At that time, he felt the words were very familiar, but he didn’t remember. It turned out that he was the one who said those words. That there was no sincerity between them. This was not what Lu Jinlang thought, but Lu Jinlang was just repeating his words.

　　Lu Jinlang sighed suddenly and said, “I’m sorry, that I didn’t take care of my heart.”

　　Wen Jianing’s hand trembled slightly.

　　Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand to cup his face, kissed his lips, and then left. He said, “If we continue to get along like this, I’m afraid I will do something that’ll hurt you. So I’ll pull myself together and stay away.” With that, Lu Jinlang pulled the door and got out of the car.

　　Instead of asking Wen Jianing to drive him away, he called Lu Yunan to drive him to pick him up.

　　That night, Wen Jianing squatted on the balcony on the second floor of his home to smoke. He rarely smoked, unless he was feeling extremely excited or irritable.

　　Lu Jinlang said that they were all adults. Adult love was too sensible. He knew that there was only a dead-end for moths that fly to the fire, so he shrunk back and put his guard up. If he didn’t love him then he wouldn’t love him either. So that when he was being stabbed by someone, there would be room to retreat so that he would not be injured.

　　Because of this, there was always a distance between two people. You couldn’t stab me and I couldn’t stab you. You couldn’t touch my heart, and I couldn’t touch yours.

　　Lu Jinlang was tempted, and Wen Jianing could detect it.

　　But even so, he still wondered how long Lu Jinlang’s sincerity could last. He couldn’t ask for it, that was why he yearns for it. If he also offered his sincerity in the future, would it become so worthless to the point others could cruelly trample on it? Look, didn’t Lu Jinlang didn’t dare to face it, and hurriedly took a step back in a hurry? 

　　What is love? How to love? It turned out that he had lived a lifetime, but he still didn’t know.

       Wen Lin and Yi nan were both drunk, and Wen Jianing was lazy to send them home one by one. So they all settled in the guest room. No one thought the house was terrible at this time. They were already drunk and couldn’t tell where they were.

       After settling everyone down, Wen Jianing packed up his things on the balcony on the second floor. After he finished half of it, he felt tired and lay down on the balcony to feel the wind blowing.

       When there were a lot of people talking and laughing, he didn’t have much to think about. Once he was left alone, he couldn’t help but think about a lot of things. These messy emotions were simply beyond control, even Wen Jianing who had a new life after living for more than 30 years could not do it.

       But when he returned to the familiar house and familiar surroundings, he began to feel at ease again. At least so far, everything went smoothly.

       While Wen Jianing continued to wait for the company to make further arrangements for him, there was news on the internet that Fang Wei’s film ‘October Fireworks’ was nominated for a well-known foreign film festival.

       ‘October Fireworks’ had not been officially released in China, but it had already signed up to participate in foreign film festivals and had successfully entered the competition.

       The film festival lasted for ten days, and the award ceremony would be held on the last day. Since ‘October Fireworks’ had not yet been broadcasted in China, the audience’s attention to this film was not too great, and the movie’s shortlisting was just brief webpage news.

       But what really sparked the attention of the internet was that at the film festival awards ceremony, Lu Jinlang won the best actor award.

       This was the first time that a Chinese male star had won this award.

       As soon as the news came out, Wen Tinghuan immediately shouted “What the fvck!” and then called Wen Jianing to ask if he knew the news.

       Wen Jianing told her that he also saw it on the internet.

       Wen Jianing only found out the video of Lu Jinlang walking on the red carpet and received the award at the film festival on the internet. He didn’t know the news in advance.

       Lu Jinlang in the camera looks tall and handsome, dressed in a black suit, and looked calm. He expressed his gratitude in fluent English. It was very brief, only mentioning the director and crew, and he didn’t say anything else.

       Wen Jianing found all the video clips of Lu Jinlang that he could find, including the interviews with reporters at the red carpet at the beginning and at the end of the awards ceremony. The man in the camera had been separated from him for less than a month, but the distance between the two people had been greatly increased.

       He had been chasing Lu Jinlang, and when he thought he was getting closer, the distance between them had widened again.

       After watching Lu Jinlang for so many years, did he also feel some sort of admiration?

       In the past two years, Lu Jinlang had become more and more low-profile. His career had developed to such a degree that he no longer needs to rely on maintaining exposure to maintain his popularity. In other words, fame was not important to him, because his status was already unshakable. Usually, whether it was the media or movie fans, there were only very few traces of him that could be captured.

       But this time, Lu Jinlang suddenly made the headlines of entertainment news, and occupied a lot of space.

       The next day, Wen Jianing saw that all the newspaper entertainment pages were about Lu Jinlang, and it was also a popular topic on the internet.

       Lu Jinlang originally had a group of diehard fans, and they were not too young and usually kept a low profile. However, this time everyone was excited. In addition, the young people who didn’t pay much attention to Lu Jinlang in the past suddenly focused their attention on him.

       Someone posted a topic on Weibo, “The Standards of Male Gods”, which quickly became a hot topic. According to the description of the topic creator, the standard of a male god should be like Lu Jinlang, handsome, mature, powerful and had a low profile. He was perfect both in his inside and outward appearance.

       Many netizens who were unwilling to be left out have put forward their own standards of male gods under the topic, and one of them mentioned Ke Xinhang.

       Wen Jianing subconsciously clicked on the comment on that Weibo’s post and saw someone mockingly said: What qualifications does Ke Xinhang have to compare with Lu Jinlang? It was such a low comparison.

       When he saw this comment, Wen Jianing was not angry and found it a bit funny. He knew that if it was changed to Wen Jianing, no one would say that. But it had been more than a year since Wen Jianing died. He had slowly faded out of people’s sight and was replaced by a lot of fresh blood pouring into the entertainment circle.

       In a sense, that comment did reflect the current status gap between him and Lu Jinlang. He was more like an upstart. With the popularity of an idol drama, everyone knew him, but no one would think that he had enough acting skills and ability, or that he could also stand on the stage of world movies like Lu Jinlang and win awards. He was more of a short-lived idol.

       Wen Jianing leaned back on the computer chair and hesitated. He took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Lu Jinlang, saying, “Congratulations.”

       Lu Jinlang quickly replied to him in two words, “Thank you.”

       The conversation was over. Wen Jianing threw the phone aside and closed the current web page.

       Three days later, Wen Jianing received a call from Li Jiazhen, the assistant director of ‘October Fireworks’, inviting him to an internal celebration party.

       In fact, Wen Jianing was purely a minor character in the movie, and there were not many lines. There was no need to invite him to this kind of celebration banquet. To put it bluntly, Fang Wei thought of him highly and of course it was not good for him to refuse.

       But on the way there, he suddenly encountered a traffic jam, and even if he rushed, he was still more than ten minutes late.

       He felt very embarrassed, and he hurriedly apologized as soon as he opened the door of the private room.

       All of the people present here were the main creators of ‘October Fireworks’. The actors invited were only the male and female leading roles and the important supporting roles of the heroine’s father. It was simply not suitable for Wen Jianing to appear here.

       However, the film producer still enthusiastically invited him over to sit down.

       There were two people sitting between Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang. Only after he sat down did he have time to look in the direction of Lu Jinlang, who was also looking at him and smiled at him.

       The relationship between the two of them may or may not be known to the people at the table, but they were not saying anything about it. Although they did not deliberately try to conceal it, it was not a formal relationship that could be put on the table after all.

       Although ‘October Fireworks’ only won the best actor at the film festival, and did not get the best film award, it had made good publicity even when it had not been released in China.

       The producer first stood up with a wine glass and thanked everyone. He was very confident about the box office results when it was officially released in China.

       Everyone stood up and raised their glasses.

       The next topic naturally shifted to the participation in the film festival this time.

       In fact, everyone felt it was quite sudden that Lu Jinlang was suddenly able to win the prize. They were completely caught off guard. The heroine Jin Zhenzhen said that she almost stood up when she heard Lu Jinlang’s name. She was so excited.

       Wen Jianing saw that Lu Jinlang was just smiling as he listened to them talking about it.

       The two people sat at the table, and they basically didn’t communicate. At most, they only looked at each other occasionally, and after a moment they would look away slowly without appearing intentional.

       Halfway through the meal, Wen Jianing stood up with a glass of wine and stood up to toast Lu Jinlang.

       “Congratulations,” he said again.

       Lu Jinlang replied, “Thank you.”

       The two clinked their glasses. Wen Jianing drank it and sat down again.

       Obviously, the people couldn’t seem to control their emotions, and they all seemed a little excited. Compared with Lu Jinlang, he was the calmest one. Everyone came to propose a toast to him. He didn’t refuse one and drank it all.

       After dinner, they moved to a private bar and continued to drink.

       Lu Jinlang seemed to be drinking too much, and he appeared very silent. He sat on the sofa with one hand on his face and didn’t say a word. Only when others were talking to him would he smile slightly and make a listening gesture.

       Wen Jianing sat opposite him, talking to Fang Wei in a low voice.

       Fang Wei asked him, “I heard that Lu Jinlang has plans to invest in movies. Do you know about it?”

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

       Fang Wei didn’t ask whether he really didn’t know or was just faking ignorance. He smiled and said, “He talked to me and said he was interested in investing by himself.”

       Wen Jianing couldn’t help looking up to Lu Jinlang’s direction, only to find that Lu Jinlang was looking at him.

       Lu Jinlang’s eyes were a little unfocused, presumably because he was drunk. His collar button was wide open, his lips glistened. He noticed that Wen Jianing was looking at him, and he didn’t look away.

       Wen Jianing said to Fang Wei slowly, “It’s very good. Now the film makes money.”

       In one night, Wen Jianing drank beer, red wine, and foreign wine. In addition to being a little drunk, Wen Jianing felt his lower abdomen was bulging and stood up and went to the bathroom.

       The restrooms here only have a single chamber. When he closed the door and stretched out his hand to buckle the door, he suddenly felt that the door handle was turned vigorously from the outside. Then Lu Jinlang pushed the door open and broke in, and then reached out to lock the door.

       Wen Jianing was pushed by Lu Jinlang and leaned against the cold ceramic tiles on the wall. Lu Jinlang stepped forward and hugged him by the waist and kissed him hard.

       He did not resist, but his memory overlapped inexplicably with the first time he was stuck in the bathroom by Lu Jinlang and was played by him. At that time, he drank too much and was unable to resist, but this time it was Lu Jinlang who was drunk.

       In fact, at that time, he felt that Lu Jinlang was mostly just toying with him.

       He hugged Lu Jinlang’s shoulders and felt Lu Jinlang’s fierce kisses fall on his neck and front neck, His clothes were loosely pulled apart, and Lu Jinlang’s warm palms touched his smooth skin.

       Wen Jianing felt that his body temperature was rising rapidly, until he felt Lu Jinlang pull away his pants, he reached out and grabbed his hands, panting and asking, “Didn’t we break up?”

       Lu Jinlang breathed heavily, he raised Wen Jianing’s leg around his waist with one hand, and pinched his chin with the other hand, rubbing his lips with his thumb repeatedly, pressing his forehead against his forehead, and said, “Who said we are breaking up? Me? Did I say we are breaking up?”

       Wen Jianing suddenly felt that alcohol could really make someone a mess. He felt Lu Jinlang’s warm breath with alcohol tap his nose, and his body became more aroused. He said, “I’ve moved away. So what now?”

       Lu Jinlang asked him, “And you’re willing to do that?”

       Wen Jianing was a little puzzled, he raised his eyes to look at Lu Jinlang’s eyes, but they were too close, and he couldn’t see anything.

       Between his words, Lu Jinlang lightly pecked his lips, and the hand holding his chin slid down, slipping from the hem into his clothes.

       Wen Jianing held back a comfortable groan.

       Lu Jinlang continued, “I haven’t given you the male lead role that I promised. Do you think it’s a good idea for you to break up like this?”

       Wen Jianing smiled suddenly, and he said, “You are the financier, and you can do whatever you want. I have no say in this.”

       Lu Jinlang put his head on Wen Jianing’s shoulder, at an angle that Wen Jianing could not see, his eyes were somewhat hollow. He said, “Well, I never like to owe others, and I will not end things unclearly. I’ll definitely give you what I promised at the beginning.”

       Wen Jianing looked at Lu Jinlang’s shoulder in front of him and suddenly wanted to open his mouth and bite down hard, but when he really bit it, he lightened his strength. He said, “Okay, I’ll wait.”

       Lu Jinlang lowered his head and smiled. He unzipped Wen Jianing’s pants, and put his hands in.

       Wen Jianing knew that the bathroom door had been locked by Lu Jinlang, but he still glanced in that direction subconsciously.

       Lu Jinlang’s palm wandered on the inside of his smooth thighs, and then slowly grasped Wen Jianing’s d1ck between his legs. He didn’t caress too much, but gently rubbed the top with his thumb.

       Wen Jianing felt pleasure crawling up his back along his spine, and there was a layer of goose bumps on the back of his neck. He felt that he was really a lustful animal. At this moment, he still slightly moved forward and asked Lu Jinlang for a kiss.

       So Lu Jinlang kissed his lips, teasingly, first lightly licked his lower lip, and then covered it and sucked hard.

       Wen Jianing gasped, not daring to moan, he straightened his waist and urged Lu Jinlang, “Hurry up.”

       Lu Jinlang was not in a hurry. He unzipped his trousers and released his already erect d1ck, but he first touched and held Wen Jianing’s d1ck.

       Wen Jianing looked down and couldn’t help laughing at himself.

       Lu Jinlang grabbed Wen Jianing’s hand and let him hold his own d1ck, and then asked him, “What are you laughing at?”

       Wen Jianing shook his head, stroked the big hard d1ck in his hand and rubbed it a few times, then he stood up again, and he said, “Come on, I want it too.”

       They relieved each other’s desire with their hands. For a moment, their breath was burning, and even the mirror in the bathroom was covered with a thin layer of mist.

       Wen Jianing could no longer hold it, the thin liquid came out from his semi-hard d1ck. While in his hand Lu Jinlang’s d1ck was still hard, and he didn’t stop moving while Lu Jinlang repeatedly kissed him on the cheek and neck, panting heavily.

       Later, when Lu Jinlang cum on his hand, Wen Jianing even closed his eyes somewhat tiredly.

       The two separated, looked at each other and waited until their breathing calmed down.

       When Lu Jinlang washed his hands and zipped his pants, he heard a knock on the door outside. Someone asked, “Is someone there?

       Wen Jianing had straightened his pants and was buttoning his collar, where Lu Jinlang had sucked him an obvious hickey.

       Lu Jinlang opened the door calmly and walked out.

       The person standing outside was Li Jiazhen. He was already a little dazed from drinking. At this moment, he sobered up with a jolt from head to toe.

       Lu Jinlang nodded and left.

       Wen Jianing also washed his hands, his cheeks flushed, and said to Li Jiazhen, “I’m sorry, I’ll be finished soon.”

       Li Jiazhen hurriedly said, “Don’t be in a hurry, I’ll just go over there.” He walked two steps forward, and suddenly realized that it was a women’s toilet, and stopped again.

       At this time, Wen Jianing had come out of the bathroom and moved his wrist, which had been pinched red by Lu Jinlang, towards the private room. He felt that Lu Jinlang did drink a lot, otherwise he wouldn’t be so rough. It was just that Wen Jianing couldn’t make a careful distinction if the words spoken were Lu Jinlang’s true feelings or just a drunk person’s words.

　　The matter of finding someone to clean up Wen Jianing’s old house was entrusted to Wen Tinghuan.

　　He stayed temporarily at Wen Lin’s place for two days. He had nothing to tidy up. He just dragged his luggage to his room and took out his daily necessities.

　　When he opened the suitcase, Wen Jianing saw the little bears at a glance. He picked them up, looked at them, and put them back in the suitcase.

　　That night, Wen Jianing changed into pyjamas after taking a shower and sat in the living room with Wen Lin to drink beer.

　　Wen Jianing liked to get along with Wen Lin, just as Wen Lin liked to stay with Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Lin took out his guitar and sang while playing. Wen Jianing sat on the ground with his back against the sofa, holding a beer bottle in his hand and listening to him sing.

　　Wen Jianing felt that if Wen Lin was born more than ten years earlier, he might be able to develop very well in music. However, the current market doomed him to have no way to just focus on singing, unless there was a strong support behind him.

　　As he thought of this, Wen Jianing inevitably thought of Ke Xinhang. If Ke Xinhang were still alive, he would probably be as emotional as Wen Lin. He felt that Ke Xinhang was full of ambitions and talents that couldn’t be displayed. With Ke Xinhang’s personality, he might not be as sociable as Wen Lin, because of his sensitivity and low self-esteem. In order to distance himself from others, he wrapped his whole body with thorns so that it was not easy to get close to him.

　　Wen Lin’s song styles were mostly warm and relaxed tunes. As Wen Jianing listened, he leaned his head on the sofa, and slowly closed his eyes.

　　And at this time, Lu Jinlang had just returned to his empty home.

　　The room was very clean. Although Wen Jianing still had something to take away, Lu Jinlang could barely find traces of him in the place.

　　Lu Jinlang sat by the bed, called Lu Yunan and told him to come and pick him up tomorrow. He planned to move back to the villa and wouldn’t come to stay for the time being.

　　Wen Jianing drank a little too much that night. He did not go back to the room later and fell asleep directly on the sofa. Wen Lin took a blanket to cover him.

　　The next morning, Wen Jianing and Wen Lin both went to the company, and Zheng Xin called them back for a short meeting.

　　It was mainly to arrange the next phase of work for a few people.

　　Yi Nan and Wen Lin were about to prepare for the promotion of the TV series, and in the meantime, they would definitely attend many entertainment programs and publicity activities. On Wen Jianing’s side, some commercial activities had invited him, but they were still in the negotiation stage. However, his commercial shooting schedule was still temporarily vacant.

　　”There are already arrangements for the next movie,” Zheng Xin said to him.

　　Wen Jianing was a little strange, “What kind of arrangement?”

　　Zheng Xin spread his hands, “I really don’t know this time. Manager Bai said that there is a movie, but he didn’t know exactly what movie it is.”

　　When he heard this vague answer, Wen Jianing immediately thought of Lu Jinlang. It would only be Lu Jinlang who could make arrangements for him through Bai Shengzhe.

　　Zheng Xin said, “Trust the boss. The company has always been very good to you.”

　　It was a sentence that was difficult to say in front of Yi Nan and Wen Lin, but Zheng Xin had been an agent for so many years. Unless you had a very strong relationship, this was really the first time he had seen an agency that was so considerate of artists.

　　Zheng Xin knew about Yi Nan’s backup. But Ke Xinhang? All he could think of was his relationship with Lu Jinlang.

　　When Zheng Xin spoke to Wen Jianing alone, he asked, “I heard that you broke up with Lu Jinlang?”

　　Wen Jianing smiled bitterly, “You are too well informed.”

　　Zheng Xin said, “Tinghuan doesn’t dare to make any decision about you. As soon as she hears something, she will immediately discuss it with me. What she considers is your next development.”

　　Wen Jianing nodded, “I understand.”

　　Having said this, Zheng Xin suddenly sighed. He said, “It doesn’t matter if you split up, Xinhang, I am very optimistic about your future. Your relationship with Lu Jinlang now is helpful to your career, but when you develop well it will inevitably become a stumbling block.”

　　Unless they were secretive for a lifetime, when the two were together for a long time, they would always have the possibility of being caught by sharp people. It was fine if it was a secretive relationship between a man and a woman. But we were talking about two men, when this scandal was exposed, Zheng Xin was afraid it would have a certain impact on their career.

　　This kind of impact did not matter to Lu Jinlang, but it was terrible for Wen Jianing, who was trying to seek development because he would be regarded as the one who was taking advantage of Lu Jinlang to hype. Lu Jinlang could stay locked at home and didn’t face any media, but Wen Jianing couldn’t do that. He still needs to stand up and explain to the media and fans. He had to bear great pressure from the outside world.

　　However, it was not impossible to solve. The only way was that Wen Jianing could stand in the same position as Lu Jinlang. When he did, he would no longer need to explain anything to the outside world. No matter what his private life was, he didn’t need to explain it to anyone.

　　But obviously, now Wen Jianing didn’t need to think about it so much. He probably wouldn’t face that pressure one day.

　　After leaving the company, Wen Jianing drove to the Beiao Garden.

　　Wen Lin asked to go with him to see the old house of the God Wen. Wen Jianing smiled and said, “Let’s go.”

　　The two people walked into the elevator together. When the door was about to close, Yi Nan suddenly ran over to block the elevator door and asked, “Where are you going?”

　　Wen Lin was about to answer, but Wen Jianing smiled and said, “You and us are not the same team. Why should I tell you?”

　　”Psycho!” Yi Nan was suddenly angry.

　　Wen Jianing did not continue to tease him and said, “Wen Lin is accompanying me to see the house. Do you want to go together?”

　　Yi Nan was taken aback for a moment, and asked, “Wen Jianing’s house?”

　　Wen Jianing nodded.

　　Yi Nan hesitated for a moment and walked into the elevator.

　　Although Zheng Xin didn’t say anything about Wen Jianing buying a house, it had been spread all over the company. The most common view was that he was a fan of Wen Jianing and was a fanatic devotee.

　　Yi Nan heard a young man say, “What movie fan? He must be secretly in love with Wen Jianing, right?”

　　In fact, sometimes it was not easy to draw a clear line between worship and admiration. There were many girls who wanted to marry idols and many girls who were willing to sleep with idols. Whether it was just simple worship or love, they probably haven’t figured it out by themselves.

　　So what about Wen Jianing and Ke Xinhang? Yi Nan couldn’t help thinking about this question. Since Ke Xinhang had strange admiration for Wen Jianing, how could he keep that kind of relationship with Lu Jinlang? He must have known that Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing were always at odds.

　　As his imagination ran wild, Yi Nan suddenly shook his head and thought: It’s none of my business!

　　The house was already cleaned and furnished. So Wen Jianing just had to check what other daily necessities needed to be bought. Wen Tinghuan asked him to sort out a list and she would go buy it for him in the afternoon.

　　The house was not very luxurious, and the decoration style was a little old, but it had soft tones, and an elegant environment.

　　Wen Lin stood in front of the stairs, touched the handrails with his hands, and said, “Wen Jianing’s house.” He unconsciously carries some sort of admiration in his tone.

　　Yi Nan was obviously a bit calmer. He looked around and said to Wen Jianing, “The house is nice, but I heard that Wen Jianing died upstairs at the time?”

　　Wen Jianing came out of the bathroom on the first floor and was typing on his mobile phone. He was sending a message to Wen Tinghuan that he wanted to buy toilet paper. Hearing Yi Nan’s words, he looked up at him and said, “Yes, when I turned off the lights at night and stood on the first floor looking upstairs, I could see a dark figure slowly walking down the stairs.”

　　The room suddenly became quiet, leaving only the sound of Wen Jianing typing on his mobile phone.

　　Wen Lin suddenly let go of the stair handrail and said, “Are you serious?”

　　Wen Jianing raised his head again, seeing that both of them looked stupefied, he said, “Of course it’s a joke.”

　　Wen Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

　　Wen Jianing went up to the second floor to see if there was bedding in the room and if he needed something else, Wen Lin and Yi Nan followed.

　　Then they saw Wen Jianing sitting directly beside the bed.

　　Wen Lin suddenly asked in a low voice, “Are you planning to stay in this room?”

　　This room was the master bedroom. There were traces of large Wen Jianing posters once hung above the bed, and this room contained a bathroom and toilet.

　　Wen Jianing nodded.

　　Wen Lin didn’t know what to say and looked at Yi Nan.

　　Yi Nan couldn’t help but say, “Aren’t you afraid?”

　　”What is there to be afraid of?” Wen Jianing said, “It should be a happy thing to sleep in the same bed with my idol.”

　　Yi Nan’s face was complicated, and after holding back for a long time, he said, “Pervert!”

　　Later, Wen Tinghuan helped Wen Jianing buy all the things he wanted. While Wen Lin and Yi Nan were here, Wen Jianing asked them to help pack up.

　　Wen Lin was reluctant to let Wen Jianing move so soon and asked him, “Why don’t you stay with me for two more days?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I feel I’m bothering you too much. I will move over here as soon as things are ready.”

　　Wen Lin didn’t have the heart to keep him.

　　Instead, Wen Jianing said, “Why don’t you consider moving here? Anyway, I live alone and I won’t charge you rent.”

　　Wen Lin hurriedly said, “How can I be so shameless to do that?”

　　Wen Jianing reached out and touched his face, “We’re all brothers, what’s there to be ashamed of?”

　　To celebrate the move, Wen Jianing invited Wen Lin, Yi Nan and Wen Tinghuan for dinner.

　　There was definitely not enough time to do some cooking, so he directly called to order a takeout hotpot, and then Wen Lin and Wen Tinghuan drove together to a nearby supermarket to buy tableware and beer for the hotpot.

　　That night, four people sat on the balcony on the second floor, eating hotpot and drinking beer. Although the distance between one house and the others was far apart, people living nearby could still hear their laughter from time to time.

　　Later, several people were a little drunk, but Wen Jianing was the most sober one. He stood up and stood on the edge of the balcony railing and looked into the distance.

　　Here he could see the low hills in the distance. The sky had darkened, leaving only patches of black shadows on those low hills.

　　Wen Jianing closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

　　Suddenly, he heard the rapid sound of the doorbell.

　　Wen Jianing took a look at Wen Tinghuan, who drank too much and was pulling Yi nan to tell corny jokes, and Wen Lin, who was listening while supporting his face with his hands. So he went down and opened the door alone.

　　When he opened the door, Wen Jianing saw that the person standing outside turned out to be Guan Xiaotian.

　　At that moment, Wen Jianing could not tell what Guan Xiaotian’s expression meant, but after seeing that the person opening the door was Wen Jianing, Guan Xiaotian’s face instantly became sullen, and he said, “What the hell are you doing here in Jianing’s?”

　　”Xiaotian?” Wen Jianing realized that he was out of his mind after saying these two words. As he saw Guan Xiaotian in this environment, he seemed to feel that he really went back to the past, but he soon woke up, and said, “What’s the matter?”

　　Guan Xiaotian frowned and said, “Did you buy Jianing’s house?”

　　Wen Jianing nodded, “Yes.”

　　Guan Xiaotian said, “I don’t know for what purpose you bought Jianing’s house, but can you respect him a little bit?”

　　Wen Jianing couldn’t help laughing, “Excuse me, may I ask how I have disrespected him?”　　

　　Guan Xiaotian was originally just gone out looking for a friend, and when he left, he deliberately drove around Wen Jianing’s house to take a look, but he saw the light from a distance and heard some noise from the second floor.

　　He was a little confused at the time. He got out of the car and knocked on the door before he even thought about it. However, when he saw the person who opened the door, he became a little angry.

　　Guan Xiaotian said, “This is my good friend’s house! Although the other person is no longer there, I don’t want to see you holding a noisy party in his place!”

　　This was a totally unreasonable accusation. No matter who the house belonged to in the past, now that it had changed its owner, what right did Guan Xiaotian have to prevent others from gathering in their own home? It would be fine if it made the neighbors feel disturbed, but now it was clear that he was saying that because he didn’t like to see it.

　　However, Wen Jianing was not angry, because he knew that Guan Xiaotian’s inexplicable anger was just out of nostalgia for him. He calmly said, “This is my home now.”

　　Guan Xiaotian froze for a moment at his words.

　　Wen Jianing continued, “I miss Mr. Wen very much, but I bought the house not to commemorate Mr. Wen, but to live here. If you think we are noisy, I’ll go up and ask them to keep it down, but it’s my right to hold a party here. Mr. Guan, why are you being so hostile to us?”

　　Guan Xiaotian seemed to have recovered at this time. He put his hands in his pockets, shrugged his shoulders slightly and said, “I’m sorry.”

　　Wen Jianing suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

　　Guan Xiaotian took out a cigarette and handed it to Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Jianing thanked him and refused.

　　Guan Xiaotian lit a cigarette for himself. He stepped back two steps, looked up at the top of this building, and asked Wen Jianing, “Why did you want to buy this place?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “It’s because I like this house.”

　　Guan Xiaotian nodded, “Jianing also likes this house very much. He said that the environment in this neighbourhood is very good and quiet. The balcony on the second floor has a wide view. It is a very comfortable thing to sit there and read the script.”

　　”But he is no longer there,” Wen Jianing said.

　　He hadn’t thought about whether some people would one day know his identity. The person he once wanted to tell most was Wen Cuilan, but he resisted it because it was difficult for him to imagine the consequences once Wen Cuilan knew it. Everyone had their own pace of life, and the life that was disrupted by the sudden death of Wen Jianing gradually regained its calm as time passed. He didn’t want to disrupt them again with his own resurrection.

　　But whether anyone would know it or not in the future, he didn’t think Guan Xiaotian will be among them.

　　Guan Xiaotian took a deep breath, took a sip of the cigarette into his mouth, and then said, “I understand.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I’ll go up and ask them to keep their voices down. I’m sorry.”

　　Guan Xiaotian shook his head, “No, I’m sorry to have bothered you guys.”　　

　　He saw that Guan Xiaotian had not left, Wen Jianing hesitated whether to invite him in for a seat. At this moment, he suddenly heard Guan Xiaotian ask, “Are you still with Lu Jinlang?”

　　This question really stunned Wen Jianing, because in any case, Guan Xiaotian shouldn’t ask him such a private question.

　　Wen Jianing looked at Guan Xiaotian and didn’t answer. He wanted to let Guan Xiaotian know that he was not willing to answer this question.

　　However, Guan Xiaotian’s original purpose didn’t seem to get the answer. He just said, “You have probably heard of the relationship between Jianing and Lu Jinlang. I hope you will at least exercise some restraint here.”

　　Exercise some restraint? Wen Jianing kept thinking about the meaning of Guan Xiaotian’s words. Did he mean he should not mess around with Lu Jinlang in Wen Jianing’s house?

　　After saying this, Guan Xiaotian raised his hand to indicate that he was leaving.

　　Wen Jianing nodded, “Take care.”

　　Wen Jianing just kept watching Guan Xiaotian as he got into the car and left. Wen Jianing was still thinking about his words in his head, and suddenly couldn’t help but laugh. He thought that if he really died at that time, he would be very angry to know that one day Lu Jinlang was fooling around with a strange man on his bed in his house.

　　He would probably show up in the middle of the night and scare them to death!

　　With this in mind, Wen Jianing felt slightly relieved.

Notes:
I know Guan Xiaotian is doing that because he really values his friendship with Wen Jianing but, he really doesn’t have to act that way (◔_◔)

       Wen Jianing went to the villa where he used to live with Wen Cuilan. Instead of driving, the two walked over slowly. This was somewhat a well established high-end villa area, and Wen Jianing had lived here for many years and never thought of moving.

       The trees, flowers and plants in the neighbourhood had been growing for many years, and this short one or two years would not change anything. It was as if everything was the same as when he left.

       Walking past the area like this accompanied by his mother, made Wen Jianing felt in a daze. He couldn’t tell whether he was living in the present or in the past.

　　Wen Cuilan always said that she regretted that she spent too little time with Wen Jianing in the end. But Wen Jianing didn’t think so. After remarrying, Wen Cuilan obviously lived happier, and he himself was too busy. When Wen Cuilan stayed with him, she was alone at home most of the time. If he could choose, he still hoped that his mother could live with the people she loved and lived a happier life.

　　When they arrived in front of Wen Jianing’s villa, the two stopped.

　　The exterior wall did not look desolate because of the property being taken care of. But it might be because no one lived for so many years, the house inside looked very dark from the window.

　　When he opened the door and went in, Wen Jianing smelled a cold and stale smell rushing to his face. The furniture in the house had not been moved and was covered with a layer of white cloth.

　　Wen Cuilan couldn’t hold back her tears.

　　”Have a look,” she said to Wen Jianing.

　　In fact, there was nothing for him to see. Wen Jianing was too informed about this home. He heard Wen Cuilan next to him say, “After Jianing left, this place has remained untouched in its original state. I don’t know if you like these furniture, I can ask someone to move it if you don’t like it.”

　　Wen Jianing walked to the middle of the living room and reached out to touch the TV cabinet. A photo of him was originally displayed here, but it was no longer there. He raised his head and looked at the stairs leading to the second floor. At the corner, the poster that he attached was gone.

　　The cabinets and drawers were empty. Wen Cuilan had cleaned them all up.

　　Wen Jianing walked up to the second floor and saw the empty big bed in his bedroom. There were no longer plants on the balcony on the second floor, but from here, everything was still the same as before.

　　He turned his head and said to Wen Cuilan, who followed him, “Mrs. Wen, sell me the house. You don’t have to move the furniture. Please keep all the furniture. I like it here very much, and I will also take good care of this house. You are welcome to come back and have a look at it at any time.”

　　Perhaps it was his last sentence that touched Wen Cuilan. Wen Cuilan’s eyes were red, she said to Wen Jianing, “You call me Aunt Wen. I’m also very happy that it’s a child like you who bought a house. As I said, the price isn’t an issue. I just hope you’re buying the house for pure purposes.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I bought it to live on my own.”

　　Wen Cuilan nodded when she heard the words, she said, “That’s good, I hope so.”

　　In the end, Wen Cuilan offered a price of 15 million yuan. This price was actually already cheap, considering the location of the villa. But when it comes to the value of the house, it was not easy to say the same. This was the former residence of big movie star Wen Jianing. If someone pursued it, of course it should be of higher value, but at the same time, this was also the place where Wen Jianing died suddenly. According to Chinese philosophy, his death was an unnatural death, which was considered very unlucky, so people who wanted to buy would hesitate.

　　The entertainment industry was a superstitious circle. Wen Jianing was probably the only one who would buy the house here without any qualm.

　　But 15 million was still too much for him. He couldn’t come up with so much money at a time.

　　After some consideration, Wen Cuilan promised that he could move in first and handle the ownership transfer after paying the rent.

　　Wen Jianing hesitated. He went to discuss with Wen Tinghuan to see if he could take out a loan to pay for the house all at once. Wen Tinghuan disagreed and said to him, “Why don’t you go and borrow some from the company?”

　　 “It’s not appropriate,” Wen Jianing said, asking for a loan from a company was equivalent to asking Lu Jinlang for a loan, which he didn’t think was appropriate.

　　 In fact, Lu Jinlang had already talked to him, but given his current relationship with Lu Jinlang, even if he really asked Lu Jinlang to borrow money, Lu Jinlang would also suffer. To put it bluntly, no matter what Wen Jianing said about the relationship between them, he still hoped to be on an equal footing with Lu Jinlang as much as possible in his heart.

　　 The fact that he bought back Wen Jianing’s old house was quickly caught by the keen media, or maybe the media was already paying attention to this matter since Wen Cuilan released the news that the house was for sale.

　　 He did not immediately tell Lu Jinlang about the purchase. Lu Jinlang knew about the news nearly a week later. He was eating at Lu’s house that day when he flipped through a gossip magazine that his mother threw on the sofa and saw it.

　　 He sat on the sofa and flipped through the magazine. His six-year-old nephew ran over and lay on his lap and asked, “Third Uncle, what are you looking at?”

　　 This child was Lu Jinxin’s son, Tongtong.

　　 Lu Jinxin was divorcing his wife, but his wife was unwilling. So did the elderly in the Lu family, so he dragged it down for a while. There was no way to solve it for a while. When they eat at home, Lu Jinxin’s wife would still show up with her son.

　　 Lu Jinlang didn’t answer him.

　　 Instead, Lu Jinxin was intrigued by his son’s words. He walked over and saw the magazine in Lu Jinlang’s hand. He took it and asked Lu Jinlang, “Did you buy it for him?”

　　 Lu Jinlang shook his head.

　　 When he returned home after dinner, Lu Jinlang opened the door and heard Wen Jianing rummaging in the bedroom.

　　 He had some wine in the evening and walked over to the bedroom door and asked, “Packing up to move?”

　　 Wen Jianing was stunned. He was just rummaging through the wardrobe for an attire that he planned to wear to the company tomorrow. After searching for it for a long time, he didn’t find it. He had to free up a lot of things in the cabinet and put it on the bed, but he didn’t expect Lu Jinlang to ask such a question.

　　 Is he planning to move? He himself did not know. He and Lu Jinlang got along well and did not quarrel about the values. No matter what their position for this relationship was, it was strange to say he wanted to move out for no reason.

　　 But Lu Jinlang asked this, he probably had been waiting for him to move.

　　 Wen Jianing turned to face Lu Jinlang. He said, “I have already discussed this with Ms. Wen, and she promised to sell me the house.”

　　 Lu Jinlang took off his coat as he walked into the room, “I see, I saw it in the magazine.”

　　 After a short silence, Wen Jianing heard Lu Jinlang say, “Congratulations on getting what you want.”

　　 He couldn’t tell if Lu Jinlang’s words carried some anger because Lu Jinlang was still as gentle and polite as before. Perhaps Lu Jinlang felt unhappy that he had only learned about the purchase of a house through Gossip Weekly, and Wen Jianing didn’t take the initiative to be the first one to tell him.

　　 Lu Jinlang looked at the clothes on a bed, stretched out his hands and rolled up his sleeves, and asked, “Do you need help?”

　　By now, Wen Jianing was feeling a little confused. He stood there for a while and reached for the suitcase on the top of the cabinet. It was a little higher but he could reach it on tiptoe.

　　 Lu Jinlang walked behind him and reached out to help him take the suitcase.

　　 Wen Jianing smelled the smell of wine on Lu Jinlang, and asked, “Have you been drinking?”

　　 Lu Jinlang said, “I drank a few glasses of red wine with my eldest brother and second brother at home in the evening.”

　　 In fact, he drank a lot.

　　 The two of them took down the suitcase together.

　　 Lu Jinlang said, “I’ll get a towel and wipe it for you.” After that, he went to the bathroom.

　　 As Wen Jianing sat down by the bed, he felt slightly overwhelmed for a while. But then he began to fold his clothes one by one.

　　 In fact, it was only because of Lu Jinlang’s invitation that he moved in together. It seemed that there was no guarantee or commitment.  Now that he wanted to move, Lu Jinlang also let him move. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with that.

　　 Lu Jinlang knelt on the ground to help Wen Jianing clean up the suitcase and then opened it to help him put his clothes in one by one.

　　 Wen Jianing suddenly had an unexplainable feeling, as if everything was just going well at first then one day, Lu Jinlang suddenly said he didn’t like him. He then really impatiently urged him to leave without lessening the impact at all. Although he had already made psychological preparations, he just didn’t expect that this day would come so soon.

　　 He had so many clothes that he couldn’t fit in one suitcase.

　　 “Just pack this much first.” Lu Jinlang said, “You can come back later for the other stuff. Don’t worry.”

　　 “Can we talk?” Wen Jianing said.

　　 Lu Jinlang looked at him, “What do you want to say?”

　　 Wen Jianing sat down by the bed, “Do you want to end it with me?”

　　 Lu Jinlang did not immediately answer.

　　 “Jinlang,” Wen Jianing called his name softly, “Am I a second Yan Ruowei to you?”

　　 Lu Jinlang smiled gently at his words, “You are Ke Xinhang, not some other person.”

　　 Wen Jianing said, “That’s probably what you said to Yan Ruowei as well.”

　　 Lu Jinlang didn’t refute. He might had said something similar to Yan Ruowei, but he couldn’t remember it clearly.

　　 “Forget it,” Wen Jianing said. He once vowed that he would not become the second Yan Ruowei, so why bother with Lu Jinlang now.

　　Lu Jinlang looked at him and suddenly came over to crush him on the bed and kissed his lips heavily.

　　The intense kiss seemed to harbour some anxiety and unspeakable emotion. Lu Jinlang settled his leg between Wen Jianing’s two legs, and with one hand pulled his pants.

　　 Wen Jianing hugged him and responded to him, not mincing his enthusiasm in the slightest.

　　 They kissed, hugged, and moved relentlessly.

　　 At the last moment, Lu Jinlang slowed down, without hurting Wen Jianing.

　　 Wen Jianing felt a little insatiable. It seemed that there was no more legitimate and reasonable emotional entanglement between them other than making love. Since they originally came for this, they might as well do it once and for all.

　　 When Wen Jianing woke up in bed feeling sore the next morning, he opened his eyes and saw a pair of little bears which Lu Jinlang brought back to him at Xu Rujing’s wedding placed on the cabinet not far away. Since it belonged to him, he better take it away with him.

　　 In the morning, Wen Jianing called Wen Tinghuan and asked her to pick him up by car.

　　 Lu Jinlang said he had to leave in the morning and didn’t stay to see him off.

　　 When she was helping Wen Jianing carry things into the car, Wen Tinghuan said, “You guys are so efficient, he’s just waiting for you to buy the house so he can kick you out immediately, right?”

　　 “I don’t think so,” said Wen Jianing.

　　 Wen Tinghuan sighed, “You are moving away, but he won’t even show his face.”

　　 Wen Jianing shook his head and said that he did not want to comment on it. He said, “Find a place for me to stay for two days first.”

　　 Wen Tinghuan said strangely, “Weren’t you given all the keys to Wen Jianing’s house already?”

　　 Wen Jianing said reluctantly, “For such a big house, I have to find someone to clean it first, and then prepare some necessary daily necessities. How can it be possible to move in immediately?”

　　 Wen Tinghuan looked at him, “Lu Jinlang drove you out, huh?” Wen Tinghuan thought it was Wen Jianing who wanted to move. But seeing the house there was still not cleaned up, it seemed that it was really a sudden decision.

　　 Wen Jianing didn’t want to answer this question. He planned to stay in the hotel for two days.

　　 Wen Tinghuan said, “Forget it, I’ll find you a place to stay for a few days that can promise not to kick you out.”

　　 Wen Jianing asked, “Where is it?”

　　 Wen Tinghuan said, “Wen Lin’s place.”

　　 Wen Jianing was surprised when he heard that. His first reaction was to refuse because he felt inconvenient, but he didn’t dare to be too nervous. He just said, “It’s not good. Wenlin’s side of the place is too small. I’m going to give him too much trouble if I go over there.”

　　 “No worries,” Wen Tinghuan said, “The company helped him to re-rent a two-bedroom house. He now lives alone in a spacious house, and it is a house rented by the company. You don’t have to feel embarrassed.”

　　 Wen Jianing suddenly asked, “Why doesn’t the company rent me a house?”

　　 Wen Tinghuan said, “You already have a house, and it’s the mansion of Film Emperor Lu. It’s a good house that the company can’t even afford to rent. Wen Lin’s old house is going to be demolished, do you want to steal this place from him?”

　　 Wen Jianing hadn’t been to the company for a long time since he injured his leg, and he didn’t have the opportunity to chat with Wen Lin. He didn’t even know Wen Lin’s current situation.

　　 Wen Tinghuan said, “I’ll call Wen Lin. He will definitely welcome you openly, so don’t worry about it.”

　　 If there was one bedroom for one person, he could lock the door when he took a bath and went to the toilet. Wen Jianing thought it was not a big problem to live there for two days. So he didn’t immediately stop Wen Tinghuan from contacting Wen Lin.

　　 Let’s just go and check it out, he thought to himself.

　　 Wen Lin was really pleased with Wen Jianing’s temporary two days stay. He wished he could drive to pick him up in person.

　　 “Mr. Popular,” Wen Tinghuan sighed with emotion evaluating Wen Jianing’s popularity.

　　 Wen Lin and Yi Nan’s historical game adaptations had been filmed. They were now in post-production, and ready to start the promotion. Wen Lin was not busy these days and wrote songs at home when he was free.

　　 Wen Jianing saw that Wen Lin’s new home was simple and tidy, and neatly organized.

　　 He said, “It’s very good.”

　　 Wen Lin was a little embarrassed. “I don’t dare to buy too many things for the rented house. I also want to buy my own house.”

　　 It seemed that everyone already knew about Wen Jianing’s house purchase.

　　 There was a vacant bedroom in Wen Lin’s place, and the lock of the bathroom door was also intact. He only needed to lock it from the inside to ensure privacy. Wen Jianing saw that Wen Lin’s character was pure, he was not too curious, and his personality was also gentle.

　　 “Just for two days,” he said to Wen Lin.

　　 Wen Lin smiled and said, “You are welcome to stay for as long as you want.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Lu Yunan came in with Lu Jinlang.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Wen Tinghuan had no choice but to accept his request.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Wen Jianing raised his head to look at him.

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

　　Wen Jianing did not answer him.

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

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

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

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

　　Lu Jinlang reached out and touched his hair.

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

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

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

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

　　Wen Jianing nodded.

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　This house also has extraordinary significance to Wen Cuilan.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　”Sorry,” Wen Cuilan said politely.

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

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

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

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

　　The two then exchange some words.

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

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

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

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

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

　　”I know,” Wen Jianing said.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       Wen Jianing stared at him in bewilderment.

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

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

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

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

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

       Lu Jinlang thanked him.

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Wen Jianing couldn’t help but smile.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Lu Jinlang stood quietly without giving a response.

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

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

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

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

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

　　Lu Jinlang was still in the ward at this time.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Wen Jianing nodded, “I know.”

　　Thus, Wen Tinghuan pushed him out.

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

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

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

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

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

　　Wen Jianing could not refute.

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

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

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

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

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

　　Wen Jianing said, “Thank you.”

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

　　Wen Jianing did not say anything.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　 “What do you think?” Lu Jinlang asked.

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

　　Lu Jinlang asked, “Was he frightened then?”

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

　　Lu Jinlang did not speak.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Lu Jinlang stood up, “You’re back?”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Lu Jinxin watched coldly.

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

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

　　Wen Jianing nodded.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Wen Jianing didn’t speak.

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

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

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

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

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

       He didn’t have money with him?

       On this occasion, it sounded like a joke.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Lu Jinlang said, “Give him the phone.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　”What does this mean?” Lu Jinxin asked.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Only the gamblers were still awake.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Someone took a blanket and wrapped Wen Jianing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Lu Jinlang came faster than expected.

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Cao Songquan came after him.

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

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

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

　　Wen Jianing asked, “Where are we going?”

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

　　Wen Jianing said, “But…”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       The TV series that Yi Nan and Wen Lin played had finally decided to give Wen Jianing a cameo role. It was an important character who had almost no role but served as a connecting thread in the story from beginning to end.

       He only had one scene in total, but it took him a long time for makeup and styling. The character was a legendary bladesmith master, and the story began when the protagonist got a sword he forged. When the protagonists finally looked for him, he had been sleeping in the depths of the cold pool for thousands of years that had not been frozen for thousands of years. The scene was only him closing his eyes and sinking in the water, with dark long hair and a white long shirt floating in the water.

       The background was generated by a computer. After Wen Jianing put on his makeup, he finished shooting in the studio, which only took half a day.

       And because this shot was so beautiful, it was chosen as the opening of the TV series. Of course, this was a later story.

       Over here, the shooting of ‘Springtime Dream’ was still going on. The scenes in the studio were basically over, and the rest were all on-site scenes.

       For the downtown location scene, Cao Songquan chose a large coastal city, and it was estimated that the shooting time would last two weeks.

        Wen Tinghuan would accompany him there, and Wen Jianing could only say goodbye to Lu Jinlang.

　　Lu Jinlang’s life was actually too relaxed because he didn’t need to appear in public often. With the increasingly strict selection of scripts, sometimes he might not be able to shoot a movie in a year. In this way, he controlled most of his time himself.

　　When Wen Jianing was packing his things, Lu Jinlang was beside him to help him.

　　As they packed things up one by one, Wen Jianing suddenly felt that Lu Jinlang would be a little lonely living here alone. He said, “Why don’t you go back for a few days?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “It doesn’t matter. I have to let Yunan clean up again if I go back, so don’t bother.”

　　Wen Jianing then said, “Are you going to come to visit the movie set?”

　　Lu Jinlang told him, “I will seriously consider it.”

　　Wen Jianing set off with the crew and settled down in the hotel in the local area. Then, the crew started filming non-stop.

　　In one of the more important location scenes, the heroine and Xue You had a quarrel in the taxi. At that time, Xue You got out of the car and ran outside through the gap in the traffic flow. As a result, he fell over the railing.

　　In order not to block the traffic, the scene was filmed after one o’clock in the morning. Many cars were rented and many extras were hired. The crew including Wen Tinghuan were all used as extras.

　　First, the scene of two people arguing in a taxi was shot.

　　Mu Huaqi could shoot this kind of scene easily. She quarrelled with Wen Jianing loudly, showing an angry and sad expression. Later, her eyes were even covered with tears.

　　Wen Jianing’s tone became colder and his chest fluctuated violently because of anger.

　　Mu Huaqi yelled at him, “What do you know? Do you really think you are a woman? I don’t need you to tell me what to do with him!!”

　　Wen Jianing looked at her, and after a few moments passed he pulled the door and got out of the car.

　　This scene had been taken twice, and the next shot was the scene of him running out through the traffic. This shot was zoomed out, and when the camera shoots from a height, cars that block the whole street could be seen.

　　Wen Jianing got out of the car, then slammed the door heavily and ran towards the street. He passed through the gap between the cars, ran to the side of the street in one breath, reached for the railing and flipped over.

　　This scene was taken several times over and over because Cao Songquan felt that the parking position of several cars was inappropriate, so he asked the driver to move the car. As a result, moving one car caused every other car to be moved around too. Each time one car was moved it took ten minutes to finish.

　　Wen Jianing ran several times, and it was not until Wen Jianing was out of breath that Cao Songquan gave it a pass.

　　Next was the close-up shot of flipping over the railing.

　　Not only did he have to twist on the railing, but he had to flip over and fall until he sat on the ground.

　　The action director specially asked someone to demonstrate to him and put a disguised cushion on the ground. So he would just sit on the cushion when he fell down.

　　He practised several times before the official shooting, but after the shooting started, Wen Jianing did not know whether it’s because he just ran too many times, but the intense exercise made his calf cramps. He ended up not stepping on the right spot, and his knee hit hard on the railing.

　　He felt a sharp pain and slid down from above.

　　Wen Tinghuan hurried over upon seeing this and asked, “Are you okay?”

　　Cao Songquan was also nervous. He trotted over and asked Wen Jianing, “How is it? Were you injured?”

　　Wen Jianing shook his head, “It’s all right. Let’s start over again.”

　　The cost of filming this scene tonight was not small. If they didn’t finish shooting today and had to come again tomorrow, the crew would lose a lot.

　　He couldn’t see how bad his knee was hurt through his pants. He stood on the ground and tried it again. He felt that it didn’t affect his actions too much, so he told Cao Songquan to start again.

　　This time Wen Jianing concentrated, turned over at one time, and fell onto the mat on the ground.

　　The passer-by played by the extras looked at him in surprise.

　　He cursed loudly, “What the hell are you looking at? Never seen anyone fall over the railing, huh?” After saying this, he could not restrain his emotions, raised his hand to cover his face and wailed loudly, then stood up and limped away.

　　Immediately afterwards, the heroine played by Mu Huaqi ran over from the middle of the road in order to chase him, turned over the railing in the same place, and fell in the same posture.

　　The same passerby looked at her with a dumbfounded face, and then said before she could say anything, “I have seen someone who fell over a railing, but I have never seen an idiot who followed when someone else fell!”

　　Mu Huaqi glared at him, cursing, “It’s none of your business!”

　　Then she also felt aggrieved, sniffed her nose and stood up and limped away.

　　The highlight of this scene was finally finished before dawn.

　　When Wen Jianing went to change his clothes, it was very difficult to take off his trousers. When he took off his trousers, he saw that his knees were red and swollen, and it hurt a little when he pressed them lightly.

　　”How’s it going?” Wen Tinghuan asked immediately after Wen Jianing came out after changing his clothes.

　　Wen Jianing said, “It should be fine, I guess I’ll be fine after a good night’s sleep.”

　　Wen Tinghuan asked, “Is it really fine?”

　　Wen Jianing tried to move his knees, and felt that it was still tolerable. He thought that it was probably just some light muscle injury, so he said to Wen Tinghuan, “It’s fine. Let’s just go back and rest. It’s too tiring today.”

　　After he went back to the hotel to sleep for a few hours, Wen Jianing woke up, and he noticed that not only did his knee not get better, but the pain got worse. He was able to walk normally last night, but today it was a bit hard to even bend his knee.

　　Wen Tinghuan became nervous and had to take him to the hospital for a check-up. As a result, they went to the local hospital to take an X-ray and found that the bones were not injured. But the doctor said that most of the ligaments were inflamed, so he asked him to go back and have a good rest. He would be fine in a few days.

　　Cao Songquan was shocked by the bad news.

　　Although Wen Jianing was not injured to the point of being unable to move, his knees could not be bent, which meant he could not walk in an ordinary posture.

　　Most of the next location scenes require walking or running. Cao Songquan had no choice but to ask Wen Jianing to rest for a few days, and film other people’s scenes first. If Wen Jianing couldn’t move normally after a week, Cao Songquan could only consider deleting his scenes.

　　Wen Tinghuan said to Wen Jianing, “I told you not to push yourself too much last night.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “If I don’t do so, maybe last night’s scene will also be deleted.”

　　Wen Tinghuan sighed deeply and before leaving Wen Jianing’s room, she said “Just lie on the bed, and don’t go anywhere. Don’t move your knees, and try to recover as soon as possible.”

　　Wen Jianing was left alone on the bed in the hotel room and couldn’t go anywhere. He flipped through the rest of the script that hadn’t been shot, and at other times, he could only watch TV.

　　Wen Jianing suddenly remembered Lu Jinlang at this moment. He took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Lu Jinlang, telling him that his leg was injured and he didn’t dare to move while lying on the bed. But before he dialled the number, he was hesitant to do so.

　　In the end, he didn’t call.

　　That afternoon, he waited in the room for Wen Tinghuan to bring him dinner. He waited until it was almost seven but Wen Tinghuan did not show up.

　　When Wen Jianing was about to call Wen Tinghuan, he heard the doorbell ring.

　　He limped off the bed and jumped to open the door. He thought he would see Wen Tinghuan, and he didn’t expect that the person standing at the door was Lu Jinlang.

　　Lu Jinlang was still carrying a plastic bag in his hand. As soon as he entered the door, he put his arm around Wen Jianing’s waist and half hugged him and sent him back to the bed to sit down. Then put the bag on the bedside table and said, “It’s still hot after an hour and a half flight, so just eat it.”

　　Wen Jianing looked up at Lu Jinlang and asked, “Did Ting jie call you?”

　　Lu Jinlang said, “I asked Yunan to call Wen Tinghuan before I heard her mention it.”

　　After Lu Jinlang said that, he sat down by the bed and asked Wen Jianing, “Why didn’t you tell me?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “I’m not badly hurt.”

　　Lu Jinlang asked him, “Do you want to go back to rest? I will send you back later when you feel better?”

　　 Wen Jianing refused, “Running back and forth like this will affect recovery.”

　　Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand and touched his head gently.

　　In fact, Wen Jianing was a little touched. It was not a very pleasant feeling to stay alone in a hotel room in a foreign country. He actually wanted to call Lu Jinlang, and he was hoping that Lu Jinlang would come to see him, but he didn’t expect that Lu Jinlang would really come over.

　　Because of this reason, if Lu Jinlang one day told him to pack up and leave, he felt that Lu Jinlang did not owe him anything.

　　Lu Jinlang came over to accompany him for two days and left.

　　 However, it took about a week for Wen Jianing’s knee to recover to the point where he could walk normally. After that, although there was still a slight pain, he did not look awkward walking anymore.

　　Cao Songquan still didn’t have the heart to cut all Wen Jianing’s scenes, so he cut and trimmed all the previous scenes so that he could finish shooting the scenes without making him walk. Now he had to rectify a few scenes that need him to run.

　　Even if the on-site part was completely filmed, the movie should be finished.

　　On the day the filming ended, everyone had a good celebration and drank a little wine.

　　That night, Cao Songquan went to knock on his door.

　　 Wen Jianing didn’t understand what happened, Cao Songquan secretly told him to change his clothes and go out with him.

　　 “Where to?” Wen Jianing had a bad feeling. He was not interested in accompanying Cao Songquan to sneak around. He thought that he would give up with the excuse that he didn’t like women.

　　Cao Songquan said, “Don’t worry, you won’t be caught by Lu Jinlang. This time it will be different.”

　　Cao Songquan refused to say anything else. He only urged Wen Jianing to change clothes and go out with him. Wen Jianing had no choice but to change clothes and go out with him. Even he didn’t have time to say anything to Wen Tinghuan.

　　In the end, they came out of the hotel and got in the car directly. Looking at the direction, it turned out that they took them to the beach.

　　He followed Cao Songquan on the speedboat, Wen Jianing suddenly knew where he was going, and he asked Cao Songquan, “You’re going to gamble on a boat?”

　　Cao Songquan said, “Don’t be nervous. It’s just gambling on the high seas.* It’s okay.”

　　The sea breeze with a salty smell slapped his face. Wen Jianing was speechless for a while, and since he had reached this point. He couldn’t ask Cao Songquan to send him back. He could only accompany Cao Songquan to continue toward the high seas. Although Wen Jianing would not say that he was completely disinterested in eating, drinking, and gambling, he was really not interested this time. At that time he got on the boat and gambled symbolically, and he was almost ready to leave.

　　It was late at night when they arrived at the cruise, and the lively gambling scene had already started long ago. The casino hall on the sixth floor was currently the most lively place. Many gamblers and tourists gathered here to place bets around the gambling table.

　　Cao Songquan’s destination was not the casino hall. Led by the waiter, he and Wen Jianing directly passed through the casino hall and entered a private room on the left side of the cruise ship.

　　Wen Jianing followed Cao Songquan. As soon as the waiter in front opened the door, he immediately saw an acquaintance sitting inside. After they entered, he found that there was more than one acquaintance. Lu Jinxin and Li Rong were both in this luxury private room. In addition to the two of them, Wei Lun was another person who Wen Jianing knew. He didn’t know the rest.

　　When Wei Lun saw Cao Songquan, he raised his hand and beckoned him to sit down. At the same time, he also greeted Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Jianing nodded, and then seeing Lu Jinxin staring at him with a puzzled expression, he could only reluctantly call out, “Mr. Lu.”

　　When Li Rong saw Lu Jinxin staring at Wen Jianing with a cold face, he suddenly laughed. He raised his hand and greeted Wen Jianing, “Xinhang, come and sit here.”

　　Wen Jianing actually didn’t intend to mingle with these people at all. He just wanted to sit down with Cao Songquan and watch him play for a while, and then sneaked out to find a room to sleep on the pretext of going to the toilet. But now he had no choice but to reluctantly walked to the vacant seat beside Li Rong and sat down.

　　The first thing he said as he sat down was, “Sorry, I left in a hurry. I didn’t bring any money.”

The author has something to say:
If you don’t pull the lights, you’ll be locked in. You won’t even be able to do it illegally! I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to change it to a 6pm update. Or do people prefer noon?

---

*Gambling on the high seas are intended for those who want to gamble outside the countries’ jurisdiction since all gambling laws at sea are set by the country under which the ship is registered to.
