Jin Yanyu lost some weight, unlike when he was recording the reality show, he was dressed in black and the brim of his hat was slightly lowered. The obvious sense of decadence overwhelmed the former ruffian.
As soon as he made a sound, Lu Wen couldn't help shaking his head. In his impression, Jin Yanyu's words were full of arrogance in terms of wording and tone, but the sentence just now was so bland that it was strange. It was as if... a group of arrogance had been extinguished.
Lu Wen never imagined meeting Jin Yanyu again. Although there is a festival, I usually scold or scold when I see it online, but at the moment I have no negative emotions, I just feel a little surprised.
He took some hand sanitizer and asked, "Why are you here?"
Jin Yanyu said: "Can't you come, this is your home."
He regained a little aggressiveness, but Lu Wen didn't respond. This floor was reserved for the development conference by the crew, and Jin Yanyu might appear because of Zeng Zhen's relationship.
But people come and go, and I feel that there is no need to take this risk.
Did you open a room here last night
Lu Wen was rubbing the bubbles and gossiping in his heart. Before he could figure it out, Jin Yanyu said provocatively, "Are you very proud now?"
"Don't make trouble." Lu Wen said, "I didn't mess with you."
Jin Yanyu snorted: "Now you provoke me, I can't help it, just like I dared to bully you unscrupulously, this circle is not fair."
When Lu Wen woke up that day, Jin Yanyu had already left Lanshui, so he never had a chance to ask. Now that he mentioned that entanglement, he said: "Actually, I'm quite puzzled, why did you punish me in the first place?"
Jin Yanyu replied: "I don't think you are pleasing to the eye."
"I know you don't like me." Lu Wen said, "But I think it's okay to be noisy... You can't do that."
Jin Yanyu looked straight into the mirror, propped his wet hands on the table, paused for a while, and said, "It's really not, but I'm an idiot."
Okay, it can be regarded as an explanation, Lu Wen thought to himself. He experienced all the intense emotions at that time, and now he is neither angry nor complaining, and he didn't even bother to curse.
Besides, Jin Yanyu should be having a hard time these days. Everyone can laugh at the once top-ranking star who has been in a slump and has been overtaken by the bullied starlet.
Lu Wen thought differently, if he might not be able to bear it, he asked, "What are your plans?"
Jin Yanyu didn't know whether he was holding on, or it didn't matter: "Just mess around like this, who can still be popular all the time, no matter how bad it is, it's much better than the poor days before being popular."
Lu Wen admired Jin Yanyu's mentality. After washing his hands, he took out a paper towel to dry up the water droplets on his skin, looked over in the mirror, and joked: "You are so grand, why don't you go to the auditorium to watch my development conference?"
"You think I don't dare?" Jin Yanyu was not hit, but his face darkened, "Unfortunately, I don't want to see Zeng Zhen."
Lu Wen was unexpected and didn't know what to say.
Jin Yanyu turned to stare at him directly, and said, "Look at you, do you know my relationship with Zeng Zhen?"
"Understood." Lu Wen didn't deny it, and threw the crumpled paper ball into the trash basket, "At first I thought he would not choose me to act in this movie because of you."
Jin Yanyu laughed instantly, and raised his head slightly, as if he had heard something ridiculous and absurd. The light from the chandelier shone into his dim eyes, creating an illusion of brilliance.
Lu Wen discerned the other party's reaction, and then thought of the date that was secretly photographed, and said puzzledly: "Then you..."
Jin Yanyu said: "It's over." He wiped his face with his half-wet palm and wiped away his smile, "Do you think we are having dinner together, it's just a negotiation, he gave me two dramas and one movie , it’s still a good deal.”
Lu Wen didn't want to chat anymore, looked at his watch, and said, "The press conference will start soon, I should go."
"Yeah." Jin Yanyu said softly, "I should go too."
This floor is surrounded by the media, and it would be troublesome to be photographed together, so Lu Wen was about to leave first. He turned and walked towards the door, raising his hand to tighten his tie slightly.
"Do you know?" Jin Yanyu suddenly said, "Zeng Zhen is reluctant to part with me, as long as I am willing to be with him, I will not worry about not having a movie in the future."
Lu Wen stopped. In a relationship with disparity in status, he thought that the decider was the one to be attached to, but he didn't expect it to be the opposite. He asked, "Then why did you refuse?"
After ten seconds of emptiness, Jin Yanyu replied: "Because I don't want to be a fake anymore."
Lu Wen turned around in surprise.
Jin Yanyu stood sideways in front of the washstand, clasping the edge of the stand with his right hand tightly, and said, "Aren't you wondering why I punished you? Let me tell you, because you said I look like Qu Yanting, but I'm not as good as Qu Yanting."
"Stop talking nonsense," Lu Wen said, "Don't blame Teacher Qu for your own faults."
Jin Yanyu said: "If you don't believe me, you can ask Qu Yanting if he is clear?"
Lu Wen was inexplicably anxious: "The matter between you and Zeng Zhen—"
"How do you think I climbed Zeng Zhen?"
Jin Yanyu interrupted him, pointing at his own face and getting excited: "What do you think Zeng Zhen likes me? It's this face that looks a bit like Qu Yanting!"
"You fucking fart!"
Jin Yanyu shouted all at once: "I got the favor of director Zeng Da only by looking like Qu Yanting, and I can get into the bed of director Zeng Da because of my likeness! Who do you think he will call when he faces me?" name?!"
There was a buzzing sound in his ears, and Lu Wen stood stiffly behind the door.
"Stupid." Jin Yanyu said hoarsely, "Zeng Zhen's favorite is your Qubian."
The door of the bathroom was closed heavily, Lu Wen dragged his steps and turned into the corridor, he walked towards the auditorium, Jin Yanyu's words kept lingering in his ears, strangling him like a curse, causing him a splitting headache.
No wonder Qu Yanting didn't want him to have anything to do with Zeng Zhen, because he was afraid that he would find out? know? Apart from Zeng Zhen's thoughts, is there anything else in that secret that he refuses to tell
Zeng Zhen has never forgotten Qu Yanting in the teacher-student relationship for more than ten years. Has Zeng Zhen hurt Qu Yanting under the disparity in status? What did you do to Qu Yanting
Passing by a waiter, he called out, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Wen lost his mind and let out an "ah", his eyes were not focused.
The waiter reminded: "Your phone is ringing."
Lu Wen fumbled for his mobile phone, and the caller ID showed "Teacher Qu". He pinned himself on the corridor and looked at these three words, his scattered soul gathered a little bit, and even his eyes became dark.
After it was connected, Lu Wen put the phone to his ear and said in a low voice, "Hello?"
There is no way to hide emotions between close lovers. With just one word, Qu Yanting heard the clue and asked, "Has the press conference started yet?"
Lu Wen replied, "Immediately."
In Lin Xie's restaurant, Qu Yanting had just woken up and wanted to make a cup of oolong tea after taking a shower. He was obviously not distracted, but broke a cup without warning.
Superstitiously anxious, he hesitated for a moment to call Lu Wen, knelt down, picked up the broken porcelain pieces into a paper towel, and held the fuselage with his other hand: "What's wrong with the sound, is it uncomfortable?"
Lu Wen answered irrelevantly: "I met Jin Yanyu."
Qu Yanting didn't react: "Jin Yanyu, why did he appear at the press conference?"
"I don't know." Lu Wen said, "Maybe come and chat with me."
The fingertips were in severe pain, and Qu Yanting lowered her head, her index finger was accidentally cut by a tile, blood dripped onto the floor. He asked a little flusteredly, "What did you guys talk about?"
"Zeng Zhen," Lu Wen replied, "with you."
The phone turned into a busy tone, and Qu Yanting shouted: "Lu Wen? Lu Wen?!"
Jin Yanyu told him... he already knew
Qu Yanting was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly got up and ran to the bedroom in a brief dizziness, put on a windbreaker and rushed out, the untreated wound was still bleeding, but no pain was felt.
The Bentley made an impatient engine sound and drove out of Linxie Garden. Qu Yanting slammed on the gas pedal and slid into the street. He couldn't count how many cars he overtook along the way, and seemed to have run through a red light.
Ten minutes passed before the start time of the press conference. After hanging up, Lu Wen strode towards the auditorium. Sun Xiaojian ran over to meet him and said angrily, "You're late, the whole audience is waiting for you!"
Lu Wen remained expressionless, and stuffed the phone back into his pocket.
Sun Xiaojian said: "You must have a good attitude later, first apologize to the director and the media... hey, did you listen to me?!"
Stepping outside the hall door, Lu Wen pushed open the two half-covered doors at once. In the brightly lit hall, countless eyes on and off the stage looked at him.
Flashing lights flashed everywhere, Lu Wen glanced at the large media around without blinking, and cast his eyes straight on the stage. Zeng Zhen sat in the middle, and his seat was vacant on the side.
The host is in an active atmosphere, everyone has arrived, and the start-up conference officially begins.
Lu Wen stepped on the stage and stopped by Zeng Zhen's side, and sat on the high chair. Yu Guangzhong, Zeng Zhen's upper body was straight, with one leg stretched out on the ground, his arms crossed his elbows, waiting for questions from the media.
There were a lot of reporters and photographers, and the first reporter raised his hand and said, "I want to ask Director Zeng and Lu Wen, what do you think about the first cooperation?"
Zeng Zhen replied first: "I'm looking forward to it."
Lu Wen patted the microphone, brought it to his lips, discarded the prepared answer and said, "I'm a little confused."
The reporter said, "Why are you confused?"
Lu Wen turned half a circle, looked at Zeng Zhen and asked, "I want to know why Director Zeng chose me?"
Zeng Zhen didn't wear glasses today, and all his expressions were exposed under the light. He turned his head to look back at Lu Wen, and his calm voice spread in the auditorium: "There are many reasons, Lu Wen is the most suitable candidate."
Lu Wenchui lowered his hand and said, "There must be another reason, right?"
Without the microphone, everyone was not sure what he said. Zeng Zhen also moved the microphone away, leaned a few inches closer, and said, "I want to see how the person selected by Xiao Ting is."
Lu Wen became angry for no reason: "Don't call him Xiao Ting."
Zeng Zhen smiled lowly and said, "When I first called him, you were probably still a high school student who didn't know the so-called."
"What did you do to him?"
"Didn't he tell you?"
Lu Wen almost crushed the microphone: "He can't be a director, it has something to do with you, doesn't it?"
Zeng Zhen still smiled, and said kindly and politely: "Sitting next to me doesn't mean you are qualified to talk to me."
There was a commotion all around, everyone paid attention to Lu Wen and Zeng Zhen, trying to find out the content of their conversation, the host waited in embarrassment, not knowing whether to continue.
Lu Wen grinded his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "I am Qu Yanting's boyfriend, now and in the future."
"Don't speak too early." Zeng Zhen said in a deep voice, "The press conference has just started, and everything has not yet settled."
Lu Wen asked, "What do you mean?"
Zeng Zhen asked: "Which one would you choose between future and love?"
Lu Wen was stunned, and suddenly understood that he and Jin Yanyu might not have met by chance at all. Zeng Zhen deliberately wanted him to know those thoughts, just to make him weigh and fear.
"You're not popular enough, are you?" Zeng Zhen said, "You probably don't want to become like Jin Yanyu."
Lu Wen curled up his palms and asked, "Then what should I do?"
Zeng Zhen replied, "Leave Qu Yanting."
As soon as the words fell, Lu Wen grabbed Zeng Zhen's collar, jealousy and disgust hovered in his chest, and then ran along every nerve, he cursed: "I'm your mother's Spring and Autumn Dream!"
Exclamations erupted from the audience, Lu Wen pulled Zeng Zhen up in full view, grabbed the microphone and punched him hard, Zeng Zhen fell to the side of the high chair, and a huge muffled sound echoed in the hall.
Lu Wen jumped off the stage, loosened his tie and walked out. Reporters rushed to block him like a tide, surrounded by dense microphones and cameras.
There was a lot of noise around me, someone asked, "Why did you hit Director Zeng?"
"What happened, please explain!"
"What were you and Director Zeng talking about just now?"
"Is there any dispute between you? Is it related to the movie?"
"Have you considered the consequences of using violence as a public figure?"
"Have you ever beaten someone before?!"
"Will you still play the leading role in the movie?"
Lu Wen walked out without saying a word, paused, and looked back at the stage. Zeng Zhen had already been helped up by others, and his expression was bloody at the corner of his mouth.
He grabbed a microphone at random, and responded to the last question—"Zeng Zhen, please hire someone else."
After Lu Wen finished speaking, he brushed away the people who were in the way, and got out of the auditorium, ignoring the waiters who came after hearing the news. The manager knew him and immediately helped stop the media who were chasing him.
Pantothenic acid in the knuckles, probably due to clenched fists too tightly, Lu Wen walked to the VIP elevator where there was no one, shook his hands and pressed the button.
Ding, the ascending elevator stops.
The ladder door was slowly opened, and Qu Yanting stood anxiously inside. When he raised his head, he met Lu Wen who was chic and embarrassed outside the door. They were all stunned and stared at each other in a daze.
Lu Wen spoke first and said, "I'm so worthless."
Qu Yanting clutched his heart, not daring to ask what happened.
"I don't want my future." Lu Wen said again, "I want you."
