Ling Xi threw down the phone and stared at the interface where the call ended, her eyes turning red instantly.
Wu Youpeng's words just now were straightforward and cruel. The company's order was like a big mountain pressing on the two of them. As a small artist in the company's hands, there was no room for resistance. No matter how stupid Ling Xi is, he understands that in the future on the thorny road of entertainment, there will no longer be a trusted agent to escort her.
Because Wu Youpeng spoke in a very low voice, and Ling Xi did not turn on the speakerphone, An Ruifeng did not know what the two of them said. When he saw Ling Xi hang up the phone, he didn't say anything but tears dripped down, mistakenly thinking that Wu Youpeng said something tough and ugly.
This is the first time An Ruifeng has seen Ling Xi so depressed. He has always been like the sunflower in "Plants vs. Zombies", with a steady stream of energy producing small suns. Now that Sunflower was crying and wrinkling her face, An Ruifeng hurriedly hugged him, patted his back lightly, and asked him, "Angkor doesn't agree?"
"It's not about this," Ling Xi shook his head, "Just now Angkor told me that the company would assign him to bring the newcomer, and then assign another agent to take me. The thought of separating from Angkor makes me feel very uncomfortable. "
Wu Youpeng met from Ling Xi eleven years ago. He has the grace of knowing each other and the friendship of master and apprentice. Every year during the festival, Ling's father and Ling's mother will invite Wu Youpeng to have a lively meal together. Wu Youpeng was heartbroken for Ling Xi. Although Ling Xi was controlled by Wu Youpeng, he respected him very much. Now that I heard that Wu Youpeng was leaving, Ling Xi could not wait to leave her job and go to City B to die with the senior management of Yangtian Brokerage Company.
An Ruifeng didn't know how to comfort him. Seeing his sad tears couldn't stop, he hurriedly donated his clothes to wipe his tears. Fortunately, the two of them are now in the private room of the restaurant, no matter how close they are, no one will make irresponsible remarks.
Originally, Ling Xi came down the mountain happily and came out of the closet, but after coming out of the closet, Ling Xi's mood was made miserable instead. On the way back, Ling Xi had a red nose, took a step, cried twice, took a step, cried twice, not like going up a mountain at all, but like going to a grave...
Because she cried so sadly, Ling Xi, who was physically weak, could not walk halfway. Looking up, the Taoist temple on the mountainside was so far away, Ling Xi sat down on the big boulder by the side of the road dejectedly, and said that he would take a rest before climbing the mountain.
They had just spent a lot of time at the foot of the mountain. Now it was getting dark and there were no street lights on both sides of the stone steps. It would be very dangerous to wait until it was dark before going up the mountain. Seeing Ling Xi's crying eyes swollen into small peaches, and swaying from side to side on the big rock tired and sleepy, An Ruifeng walked over to Ling Xi without saying a word, and squatted down with his back to him.
"Come up, I'll carry you for a while."
Ling Xi hurriedly waved his hand: "It's alright, I'll rest for another five minutes." He was stubborn and didn't want to trouble An Ruifeng, but five minutes later, he was staggering and still couldn't stand up.
An Ruifeng squatted beside him all the time without getting up, showing his wishes with his actions.
Ling Xi knew that now was not the time to be brave, but he was a big man and it was a shame to let others back, and on the other hand, An Ruifeng just finished filming a few days ago, and his body was very tired. "You're tired too, so don't..."
An Ruifeng didn't listen to his nonsense, and directly pulled over and bit his mouth.
When he gnawed Ling Xi's mouth red and couldn't say a word "no", An Ruifeng used the domineering male protagonist he had honed in countless idol dramas, and said arrogantly: "Good boy, come up yourself. ."
So Ling Xi obediently crawled onto his back.
Seeing that Ling Xi was lying down, An Ruifeng stood up holding Ling Xi's legs on both sides with both hands. It was only then that Ling Xi remembered that An Ruifeng was injured on his right arm a month ago. The wound was very long. The stitches should have been removed a few days ago. Now that he is supporting him with his right hand, it is bound to aggravate the injury.
"I'd better go down, don't let your wound tear again."
"If you feel bad that my right hand is injured, don't move. Well, wrap your legs around my waist so that my arms don't need to exert too much force." An Ruifeng supported his buttocks , feel pretty good.
Ling Xi hurriedly took care of it honestly, like a koala climbing on a big tree on which to live.
An Ruifeng's physical strength is very good. If it wasn't for the fact that he needed to lose weight while filming "Rogue One" and is still recovering, it would be no problem to let him climb from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain with Ling Xi on his back. The sound of his breathing did not become heavier. His shoulders are wide, and Ling Xi hugged him from behind, feeling unprecedented peace of mind.
When Ling Xi was young, he remembered that he had read a book. There was a sentence in it that he didn't understand, but he kept it in his heart. It is said in the book that people are social animals, and they need someone to support and accompany them at all times in order to go on in a long life.
Ling Xi thought that before the age of fifteen, the people who accompanied him were his parents. After his debut, the person who accompanied him was Wu Youpeng, and from now on, the person who accompanied him was An Ruifeng.
—Ai Ma, how much virtue has he accumulated in his last life? o(*≧▽≦)ツ Thinking of this, Wu Youpeng's forced departure is not so unacceptable. Although Angkor is no longer his agent, Angkor is still his friend. As for what will happen to the new agent in the future... Soldiers will block the water and cover the soil.
Anyway, his contract is due to expire in two years, and he decided before that he will go home and sell milk tea if he can't make a name for himself within two years. Ruifeng often goes to his shop to drink milk tea, and the brain-disabled fans come to hear the wind. Then his Linglingxi milk tea shop can have two, two, three or three lives forever
Ling Xi's thoughts traveled 108,000 miles in an instant. He YY owns the milk tea chain that dominates the panda country. The milk tea produced every year can go around the world. He asked An Ruifeng to do the endorsement advertisement. - "What do you take me as yours?" "I take you as my zero zero seven"... I really feel ashamed just thinking about it.
As for An Ruifeng's sky-high endorsement fee
Hey, take it easy on the bed.
Ling Xi has been a person who can enlighten himself and find fun for himself since he was a child... According to Ling's mother, when he was a child, he broke a fart and could chase after him for a long time.
His sadness came and went quickly. An Ruifeng carried him slowly up the mountain. At first, he could hear Ling Xi sobbing on his back. After a while, he calmed down and began to hum and laugh. The louder the laughter, the direct evolution from the grave to the upper body...
An Ruifeng asked him, "Why are you so happy all of a sudden?"
Ling Xi desperately stretched her head like a little turtle, gave him a kiss next to his face, and said in a tone of "My husband is amazing": "Prince, I feel like you are the biggest lottery ticket I've ever played in my life. !"
"Don't call me a prince," An Ruifeng confessed, "You know, only my idiots call me that. If you call me that, I'll be embarrassed."
"It's okay, you can call me Princess."
"..." An Ruifeng really lost his temper because of him.
The two walked while chatting, and in almost a blink of an eye, they reached the door of the Taoist Temple. When they came back late, everyone had eaten dinner, and now they all went back to their houses to rest. Fortunately, Ling Xi had just gone down the mountain to eat a big meal, and now he has food in his stomach to carry until tomorrow morning.
Ling Xi wanted to come down and walk by himself, but An Ruifeng said that it was not a short walk, and walked directly from the gate of the Taoist Temple to the outside of the yard where they lived. Ling Xi was nervous throughout the whole process, for fear that the staff would bump into the two who were close to each other. . After all, An Ruifeng is a star who can't have a little scandal, so it's not good to take such a risk. But An Ruifeng is very magnanimous. If he dares to do it, he is not afraid of what others say.
At the gate of the courtyard, Ling Xi insisted on jumping off An Ruifeng's back. As soon as he landed, he saw a figure of Pingting Tingting come out of the shadows. Ling Xi was startled, and he was relieved after seeing that it was Zhu Linlin.
Zhu Linlin looked at Ling Xi's red eyes from crying, walking with sore waist and soft legs, and listening to his hoarse voice all the way from laughing, she couldn't help but cast an admiring look at An Ruifeng.
In the evening, Zhu Linlin asked her agent to deliver a few eggs.
Ling Xi was very moved by holding the egg, and sent it to An Ruifeng to show it off: "I feel more and more these days that I have mistaken Zhu Linlin, she is not as bad as I thought, you see, Seeing that my eyes were swollen, she even sent a few boiled eggs to apply to my eyes!"
An Ruifeng looked at the basket of red eggs, silently took them, and opened one for Ling Xi to eat.
※※※
At noon the next day, Wu Youpeng came from City B to see Ling Xi. Coincidentally, he met Xu Zhiqiang who was also going to City N. However, Xu Zhiqiang ran up the mountain with An Ruifeng's luggage and small bags to meet up with his own artist, while Wu Youpeng went up the mountain to say goodbye to his own artist.
The four of them had a brief discussion in the kingsize suite where Ling Xi and An Ruifeng are now staying.
Xu Zhiqiang saw that the two of them not only had a five-meter long bed, but also had a separate bathroom. They also raised a dog (the little ancestor came to play again), and there were a few red eggs on the table... He was sour He said, "You two have been quite prosperous these days."
The agent knows his own artist best, and Xu Zhiqiang knew that he would definitely get what he wanted by looking at An Ruifeng's complacent expression. Fans praise An Ruifeng for his gentleness. Only those who know him know that his gentleness is just a mask, but when An Ruifeng is in front of Ling Xi, his gentleness oozes out of his bones, all the time and nowhere. No, just looking at it by the side makes my teeth sour.
Wu Youpeng knew the news that the two of them were together on the phone yesterday, and now he is extremely calm. He called Ling Xi aside, patted him on the shoulder and instructed him carefully. Most of the topics were about his future work.
"This time I was transferred, and I protested at the time. First, I said that I have a deep relationship with you; second, I said that I knew your route very well, and the packaging was more handy; third, you The work has begun to improve, the number of fans is a performance, and now I have received a series; fourth, I am not familiar with the new group, and I am not sure if I can lead an idol group well. But one, two or four o'clock, the above all take my contract I have been held down, and I still have four years in the hands of the company, unless a company wants to poach me, or I can't really resist." Wu Youpeng guiltily told Ling Xi about his difficulties, and then the topic turned to in a heavier direction.
"Ling Xi, be mentally prepared. The third point I said, I don't think the top management of the company cares about it. ... After all, you are a singer, and the most important thing for the company is your album sales. Your album sales are not going up now. , they won't listen to anything they say. It's very likely that my front foot will be transferred away, and they will be able to transfer a new person to take you on the back foot... This means... "
"This means that I was abandoned by the company, right?" Ling Xi smiled distressedly: "I haven't expected myself to be popular since I first debuted, just like my mother said - I'm also popular anyway. No. But I thought I would be able to climb to the eighth line, but I didn’t expect that the struggle is only a twelve line.”
Wu Youpeng hugged him very uncomfortable: "I'm incompetent, I didn't push you out."
"Angkor, I know that you have been very difficult to do in the past eleven years. You are so experienced, but you have wasted so much energy on me. I am not a talent, and I always cause you trouble, whether it is in the company or in the circle. A lot of people here are looking at you, you help me ask for resources and support again and again, I really..." Ling Xi rubbed her nose and squeezed a sunny smile: "Angkor, promise me, I will definitely take that The idol group is leading the whole day, will you slap those idiots who watch your jokes?"
From beginning to end, Ling Xi never shed a single tear. He is not a person who will be knocked down twice by the same sadness. He was sad yesterday, and he will face it happily today.
He may never be a proud singer in this life, so let him be a proud owner of milk tea shop.
When Wu Youpeng left, he did not let Ling Xi send him off. An Ruifeng took the initiative to take over the task and sent him from the mountain to the foot of the mountain.
The road down the mountain is very long, and there is little intersection between the two. The only topic they can talk about is Ling Xi. An Ruifeng told Wu Youpeng about when he discovered his heart, when he decided to chase Ling Xi, why he chose to go up the mountain, and the surprises he encountered after going up the mountain.
When Wu Youpeng heard that the two had returned to the mountain yesterday, Zhu Linlin actually delivered red eggs. He laughed so hard that he almost rolled down the mountain road. He wiped the tears from his smile and said, "I didn't expect that Zhu Linlin looked so difficult, I didn't expect it to be so interesting... But seriously, An Ruifeng, when I first noticed that Ling Xi looked at you differently At the same time, I thumped in my heart, thinking badly, I would rather let him like Zhu Linlin than let him like you."
An Ruifeng didn't speak. He understood Wu Youpeng's concerns and also understood that Wu Youpeng was just looking for someone to talk to.
"I thought at the time, what can I do? Ling Xi doesn't know anything, he doesn't know how sinister this circle is, he doesn't know how difficult this road is, but I know. And he's different from you, you guys The status varies greatly, you take the wrong path, the big deal is another path and continue to walk, but he can’t, if he chooses the wrong one, he will fall and can’t climb up.”
Wu Youpeng's mouth was filled with bitterness: "He is a child raised by me, I can pat my chest and say, I know more about him than his parents, there is no doubt that he likes you, but at that time he didn't know what it was called. 'Like'. And the hardest question before me is that I don't think you're someone he deserves to like."
This time, An Ruifeng said, "You're wrong. I like him, and I deserve his like."
"Well, I hope." Wu Youpeng nodded casually: "It's good that you like him. At this point, I want to thank Zhu Linlin for not letting a couple of lovers miss each other. But have you ever thought about it, in case you both Your relationship is exposed, what do the media think about it, what do fans think about it, what do your family think about it, and what will the society think about it?”
"I chose to take the initiative to chase him because I already had a preliminary plan for the future." An Ruifeng put his hands in his pockets, walking in a very casual manner. His pace is neither fast nor slow, just like walking in a leisurely court. "Maybe this plan is not perfect in your eyes, but I never intended to keep Ling Xi in the shadows. Our relationship will not be a secret. Even if it takes ten or eight years, we will appear holding hands one day. under the sun."
He stopped and turned to Wu Youpeng: "Actually, I also have a question I want to ask you."
"you say."
"After I heard Ling Xi talk about your company's decision yesterday, I've actually been waiting for you to speak." An Ruifeng lowered his eyes: "You should have heard that I can be smooth sailing in this circle, and there are people behind it. Although this person is not a group rich man, if you and Ling Xi were dug out from Yangtian Media, it would not be a problem whether they came to our upstart entertainment or set up a separate studio. Ling Xi didn't speak, he didn't think about it at all. Take any convenience from me, and you... I thought you came today to talk to me about it."
After Wu Youpeng heard his words, he was surprised at first, and then turned to be ironic: "I just heard your future plan, and it looks like a heroic and dry cloud, as if God is the biggest and you are the second. I didn't expect to be exposed in this pit. When you are young, you are actually stupid. But stupidity has its advantages, at least it won't be perfect like a dummy."
Seeing An Ruifeng's dazed look, Wu Youpeng suddenly felt from the bottom of his heart that he and Ling Xi were quite a couple...
"We can rely on you for a while, but we can't rely on you for the rest of your life. People have their own paths, and it's not that the mountains and rivers are exhausted. You can always go on with your teeth." Wu Youpeng said: "But it's true that you can find ways to help Ling Xi. It touched me very much, it seems that Ling Xi really has a good eye for people. Only when two people are together can they go further by supporting each other."
For the next part of the road, the two of them walked very quietly. An Ruifeng silently thought about the conversation just now, and decided that when he went back, he would be more kind to Ling Xi.
When they parted, Wu Youpeng shook hands with An Ruifeng very solemnly.
He said: "As Ling Xi's former agent, I really don't want you to be together. But as his 'Angkor', I wish you all the best."
An Ruifeng nodded reservedly: "Thank you, you can go back and prepare your wedding speech."
