The premiere of the upper part of the old country has ended, and after the ratings dropped slightly in the middle, they drifted upwards in the last few episodes. Therefore, the filming of the lower part of the old country will be on the entertainment news almost every day.
Cheng Yan's front-line status has been firmly established, and his daily schedule is very full. He broke up with Xia Shaoqian, and he can only divert his attention by working. Mr. Yang took on two more films for him, both of which were directed by very good directors. It was only then that Cheng Yan realized that he no longer needed Xia Shaoqian's help so much.
This discovery dismayed him.
He once fantasized about that state - leaving Xia Shaoqian, forgetting about the disgraceful things, and pretending that they never happened. But when these really happened, he really understood that the past cannot be erased.
During the shooting of the lower part of the old country, Cheng Yan went to shoot the cover of Fashion Miscellaneous. This is his first time on the cover of this magazine, and both sides value it. Teacher Yang personally accompanied him to the studio.
When we arrived, we found that there was another female model waiting.
"What do you mean?" Cheng Yan was puzzled, "I remember that this time I was on the solo cover."
Teacher Yang wasn't surprised at all, and obviously knew it long ago: "The cover is indeed a single person, but there are two photos inside, with a model."
"No." Cheng Yan refused without thinking.
He instinctively resisted, and only after the words came out of his mouth did he realize that he actually didn't want Xia Shaoqian to see it.
Teacher Yang patiently explained: "You can just treat her as a prop... This arrangement is intentional. This is a hint to the readers that you have a strong relationship with the woman, and it affects the readers from the subconscious level. You don't want to speculate It’s okay to gossip about men and women, but this kind of blockbuster filming shouldn’t matter? It’s art!”
Cheng Yan sneered: "You know psychology, and you also know art, that's amazing." Argument over, he decided to do styling first.
Teacher Yang thought about it, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and asked in a low voice: "You can't be... for Mr. Xia, right? You have already divided up."
Cheng Yan didn't speak.
He didn't need to be reminded by Teacher Yang, and he felt that his attitude was a bit sticky and he couldn't let it go.
If they break up, they are just passers-by. It seems a bit ridiculous if Xia Shaoqian's mood is taken into consideration in everything.
In the end, it was still a co-production with a female model. The magazine used one, and Cheng Yan was lying on his back, with his hands on the smooth and half-naked back of the female model. His gaze lacked passion and caress, but contained a layer of indifferent tenderness. The woman leaned on his lap, raised her head and waited for his smile that was about to bloom in the next second.
It's heart-pounding.
Xia Shaoqian silently closed the fashion magazine.
In the evening, Cheng Yan received a call from Xia Shaoqian.
He hesitated for a moment, but picked it up anyway. He convinced himself that it was out of politeness, not because he wanted to hear Xia Shaoqian's voice.
The two of them were silent for a while, this was the first time they talked on the phone since they broke up two months ago.
It was Cheng Yan who said first, "Hello?"
Xia Shaoqian: "It's me."
Cheng Yan felt that the voice was a bit stiff.
He suddenly had a guess, which made him dizzy for a moment—maybe Xia Shaoqian regretted it.
"I saw a magazine." Xia Shaoqian's voice was calm, but his tone was a little sour. "The filming wasn't very good."
Cheng Yan couldn't respond to him sensitively, he just listened to Xia Shaoqian's voice.
"... You recovered faster than I thought." Xia Shaoqian said.
Cheng Yan was finally able to talk calmly: "I have a job, so I can't do it if I don't recover. How are you recently?"
The ambiguity of just getting on the phone is gone, and Cheng Yan's attitude is very cold.
After Xia Shaoqian and Qiu Yunnan divorced, they also talked on the phone from time to time, exchanging recent situations, so as to facilitate the arrangements for the lives of the two children. Xia Shaoqian never felt uncomfortable when he was being polite with Qiu Yunnan, and he should be so indifferent after breaking up.
But He Chengyan made him unhappy like this.
He started gushing about how wonderful he was and had started arranging Christmas parties.
"I remember when I first met you, you were under thirty years old. You are really the best age. Time flies too fast - I should invite more real young people for Christmas." The more Xia Shaoqian said, the happier he was, Cheng Yanna Bian hung up the phone without saying a word.
Xia Shaoqian was very angry, 30% because Cheng Yan dropped his phone, 70% was talking nonsense to himself.
He didn't know how those inexplicable words came out, and he lost his reason and demeanor easily.
What would Cheng Yan think...
Is it more sad and disappointed, or ridiculed and disgusted? Xia Shaoqian felt more and more uncomfortable in his depression. The pain under his left rib was very obvious, but it was still within the tolerable range. He pressed it there, deliberately not taking medicine to relieve it.
Physical discomfort can just distract him from mental stress.
Cheng Yan didn't hang up the phone because he was angry or angry.
He obviously felt that Xia Shaoqian had lost his composure... He was afraid that he would lose control, so he blurted out "Do you still have feelings for me?"
This sentence was already on his lips, Cheng Yan could only hang up in a hurry.
He would rather leave himself a little fantasy.
With this little fantasy, he wanted to slowly get through this period of time.
Xia Shaoqian didn't call again after that, Cheng Yan felt a little disappointed. He also thought about whether Xia Shaoqian had already found his next partner, younger and more obedient. He was not in the mood before, but recently everything is on the right track, and Cheng Yan begins to realize that he has not had sex for a long time.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is empty to hungry. When masturbating, he couldn't help thinking about Xia Shaoqian's appearance—a younger and handsome Xia Shaoqian, with a gentle smile and rough movements, just imagining it made him feel hot all over.
After doing this several times, Cheng Yan finally couldn't bear to ask Qin Heng about Xia Shaoqian's recent situation.
Qin Heng also has troubles recently. His affair with Xu Ningyi was known by his fiancée, who was struggling between the two women.
Cheng Yan chatted with him about Xu Ningyi, asked about the Qin family's attitude, and finally brought it to Xia Shaoqian as if nothing had happened.
"I haven't heard anything..." Qin Heng quickly realized and saw through Cheng Yan's intentions, "Don't worry, he is still single."
Cheng Yan forced a smile: "I have nothing to worry about."
Qin Heng was a little dumbfounded. Hearing Cheng Yan's evasion, he became more serious with him: "If you don't care, why ask him? Since you care, I'll tell you. You can rest assured that he is still single and can pursue him. .”
Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment: "You know I was dumped by him, right?"
Qin Heng said seriously: "What does it matter whether he dumps you or not and whether you chase him or not?"
Cheng Yan was silent.
When he came home in the evening, he opened the fashion magazine, and the title of his interview was "You have to believe that love will come at any moment." He stared blankly at the interview, which talked about Director Luo's movie. Cheng Yan mentioned in it that this is a "unsolvable" movie, or that the answer will be in the hearts of the audience.
"Do you think the answer is important?"
"Important. But it doesn't mean we can't act until we have a clear answer. Life doesn't wait for us, and sometimes we get answers in action."
He took the initiative to call Xia Shaoqian.
Xia Shaoqian couldn't believe it: "Cheng Yan? Is there something wrong?"
Cheng Yan controlled his emotions, and he smiled: "I can't harass you if I have nothing to do?"
Xia Shaoqian hadn't heard such a relaxed and cheerful tone from him for a long time, so he couldn't help but also smiled: "Of course you can."
Cheng Yan used to call Xia Shaoqian when he went to other places to shoot, and the content was nothing more than the work of the day, or some special things encountered in the local area. They seemed to have gone back to the past, and Cheng Yan said something naturally.
"Cheng Yan... what exactly does this mean?"
Cheng Yan replied: "I'm trying to be friends with you, good friend."
Xia Shaoqian suddenly said: "I don't want to be friends with you."
Cheng Yan laughed, and said in a low voice, "Xia Shaoqian, take your time."
