Go back to an hour ago.
In the pick-up hall of the International Airport in City B, Wu Youpeng held a sign in his hand and wrote "Mr. An". He looked anxiously at the bustling crowd, and his eyes kept swiping across a person's face. The flight that just landed took off from Maple Leaf Country and landed in City B at 9:30 p.m. Wu Youpeng was entrusted by An Ruifeng to come to the airport to pick up his brother who flew from Maple Leaf Country to visit relatives.
Since Ling Xi submitted a written lawsuit to the court to terminate the contract, Yangtian Media has tried its best to force Ling Xi to withdraw the lawsuit, and at the same time asked Ling Xi to apologize to the company's executives for the recording. Ling Xi was very clever. He ran away before they found him. Before he left, he sent his parents to travel abroad. Now their family of three has lost contact. The company has no choice but to focus on Wu Youpeng and look for him every day. Talking, it's just one thing - "Aren't you Ling Xi's former agent, you have been in a relationship with him for 11 years, you can definitely contact him, and you let him withdraw the lawsuit!"
Wu Youpeng was determined and insisted that he would not be able to contact Ling Xi. As a result, the agency that was so embarrassed actually suspended Wu Youpeng's normal work, grabbed the mahjong tile band he had just brought on the track, and gave it to other agents. people do.
When he just left Ling Xi, Wu Youpeng did put his heart and soul into the Mahjong Band in that month, but after he learned that the company had arranged for Ling Xi to be a shooter for them, he could never return to his original state of mind. . He knew in his heart that the five of them didn't know the company's plan at all, but he still couldn't face them.
After all, intimacy is different.
Wu Youpeng was mentally prepared that he would be joined by the company, so after receiving the notice from the company, he calmly sorted out the information of the Mahjong Tile Band and handed them over to the new manager.
He originally thought that he would be doing nothing for a long time, but last night, he actually received a call from An Ruifeng. An Ruifeng was very polite to him, and after a few words of greetings, he went to the topic: "I heard from Ling Xi about Angkor's recent work situation. I do have a job recently... No, it can't be said to be a job, it should be said that I I want you to do me a favor."
"What's up?"
"My brother will fly over from Maple Leaf Country tomorrow night to visit relatives. I'm not sure how long I'll be here this time. But he said he needs someone to help him with Panda Country, and I thought of you."
Wu Youpeng hesitated: "What to do? It won't be investment or art, right? I don't understand that."
"No, no," An Ruifeng's vague voice came from the receiver: "He needs you like this."
It is precisely because of An Ruifeng's vague attitude that Wu Youpeng became interested in this job. No one in the circle knows the background of An Ruifeng who was in the entertainment industry three years ago. He has not even disclosed the number of people in his family, but if he can go smoothly, someone must be behind him. Now that An Ruifeng's brother has come to Panda Country, his mysterious family affairs will be revealed to Wu Youpeng.
Wu Youpeng's inner desire for gossip was burning, and he took over the job without much thought. Today, he came to the airport on time to pick up the plane, and he followed An Ruifeng's suggestion to make a small sign with "Mr. An" written on it, but he waited at the airport for a long time, but he didn't see the same An Ruifeng at all. similar men.
He was stretching his neck to look around when suddenly a tall and thin man stopped in front of him. Compared with the people around him with a lot of luggage, this man only had a small handbag in his hand, which looked very abrupt.
The man looked a little taller than An Ruifeng, with wide shoulders and narrow hips, and his figure was very attractive. But looking up, his hair is messy, his eyebrows are messy and invisible, and his face is full of beard. Although it is not enough to cover his cheeks, his long beard still climbs his entire chin, and even the top of his lips is covered.
Only those deep and beautiful dark blue eyes suddenly looked a little like An Ruifeng.
Wu Youpeng was taken aback by the sloppy eldest brother and asked tentatively, "May I ask who you are...?"
"It's me," the man interrupted Wu Youpeng directly, "I'm very sleepy right now, and I don't have time to chat with you." His skeleton and eye color could clearly show that he was of mixed race, and his speaking level was beyond Wu Youpeng's expectations.
Wu Youpeng has received this kind of weirdo before, but he didn't expect the gentle and polite An Ruifeng to have such a rude brother, and he couldn't accept the difference for a while. "Uh, where's your luggage? I'll help you load it into the car."
"I don't have luggage, I'm enough with my bank card."
After hearing this, Wu Youpeng really wanted to hug his thigh and call him godfather.
Wu Youpeng led An to the parking lot. The two met for the first time and were unfamiliar with each other. Wu Youpeng started with the content that both of them were familiar with and wanted to stir up a topic: "An Ruifeng is very good, today he went to the Golden Panda Awards. The ceremony is over, it should be in a few minutes, this year's TVE will be announced, and your brother is the most popular actor."
An stretched his long legs and walked forward, regardless of whether the people around him could keep up. He said firmly: "Now he is the emperor."
"Ah? You heard it wrong, it should be still in the evaluation stage of the judges..." Before Wu Youpeng could finish speaking, the phone rang. It turned out that it was a new text message from Ling Xi to him.
Ling Xi: n(*≧▽≦*)nAngkor Angkor, I am now the man of the emperor!
Wu Youpeng: "...he is indeed an emperor now."
Five minutes later, the two arrived at the parking lot to pick up the car, and An stepped into the back seat with long legs and pointed in a direction to signal Wu Youpeng to drive out of the city.
In Wu Youpeng's plan, he should send An back to the hotel at this time. After nearly 20 hours of running around on the road, An will be very tired and will definitely need to stop the jet lag, but An unexpectedly asked him to drive to the hotel. Completely different direction.
"It's late, do we have to go today?"
An looked at the time: "I have to get there within an hour and get things done within half an hour. If I don't go today, I can't go there later."
An's skill is far superior to his younger brother's in tricking the mysteries. Wu Youpeng asked him where his destination was, An reported the name of a boxing gym, and then leaned on the back seat and closed his eyes.
The overhead lights in the back seat were not on, and An's face was shrouded in darkness, only illuminating his face when he happened to pass the street lights. Wu Youpeng secretly peeped An's expression through the rearview mirror, but he didn't even know whether he was awake or asleep.
When he was about to reach his destination in 20 minutes, An who was sitting in the back seat suddenly opened his mouth and made another request - to raise the "shield" in the middle of the car.
Wu Youpeng: "... I'm sorry, the car I rented didn't have a cover."
An snorted in disgust and took the scarf from his neck. The corners of the scarf were tied directly to the top handle above the rear window. The wide scarf was like a curtain, blocking Wu Youpeng's sight. two parts.
Wu Youpeng is used to taking care of Ling Xi, who is easy to support. This is the first time he has seen such a difficult person to serve: "Are you going to change your clothes? They are all men. You can just change in the back seat. I don't look at you."
"I don't change clothes," An's voice came from behind the scarf curtain: "I'm going to make up."
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped outside the boxing gym. Wu Youpeng glanced at the time and found that it was nearly ten o'clock. It was impossible to come to the boxing gym at this time to practice boxing, right? This question hovered in his heart, but it was inconvenient for him to ask it out.
An Ruifeng is polite and kind, but his brother is cold and arrogant. I really don't know how the two brothers' personalities are so different. After the car was stable, Wu Youpeng got out of the car and walked to the rear door, knocked on the window first, and then opened the door for An.
The parking location was just under a street light, and the bright and warm yellow light shone from overhead and landed on the open space outside the rear door, as if a circle with a diameter of half a meter was drawn there with light. The car door opened, and a pair of straight legs wrapped in jeans fell into the halo, followed by a straight back and a slender neck... He stood casually under the street lamp with his pockets in, but it seemed like he appeared Same as in the surround of the spotlight.
Twenty minutes ago, the person sitting in the back seat was a slovenly ordinary man, but now An who appeared in front of Wu Youpeng had a suffocating charm. His chin is smooth, the bridge of his nose is high, his eyebrows are raised horizontally, his broken hair is soft and submissive, and his dark blue eyes seem to be full of thousands of words, which makes people exhaust their courage just by looking at him.
Where is this makeup, it's obviously a disguise!
Wu Youpeng's eyes widened, and he couldn't even speak. "You... you are An, Andr..."
An glanced at him coldly: "Why, haven't you seen the actor?"
"… "
Without waiting for Wu Youpeng to reply, An quickly walked towards the entrance of the boxing gym. Wu Youpeng was confused now, and he didn't know what to do, so he acted like a little tail and ran with him to the entrance. An has long legs. Although Wu Youpeng also has 178cm, he has short legs compared to him. An walks faster and faster, and Wu Youpeng has to run after him.
This is a boxing gym with a very simple appearance and a more simple interior decoration. The white walls and green walls with a sense of age are covered with mildew spots. The ground is the most common but cement floor, because now it is close to ten At noon, the strong men in twos and threes walked out while talking in a low voice. When they saw An who was obviously out of tune with the atmosphere here, they all glanced sideways at him several times.
An has long been accustomed to other people's gazes, he walked to the front desk without looking sideways, knocked on the table, and woke the cat up to the front desk lady who was watching the series secretly behind the front desk, Wu Youpeng noticed that the series she was watching happened to be starring An Ruifeng Yes, that's a wonderful coincidence.
Originally, the lady at the front desk was watching TV attentively, but being interrupted suddenly made her very angry. She was about to get angry when she saw that it was a handsome blue-eyed guy who disturbed her. Don't even bother to eat it. "Hello, May... May I... uh, May..."
In the car just now, he looked like a cold-faced An, but at this time he showed his kind side. I saw him bowing his head slightly, his eyelashes drooping, his eyes drifting to the position of the front desk lady's mouth and nose, and his cheeks showed a little bit. With a hint of shyness in his soft voice: "I'm sorry, I was called by a friend, but I forgot his room number, can you tell me?"
The lady at the front desk was fascinated by him: "Okay, what's your friend's name?"
An smiled and rolled his eyes, and said lightly, "Wang Lili, my friend's name is Wang Lili."
"It turned out to be Brother Li!" The front desk lady exclaimed and hurriedly pressed down: "That's right, except for his friends, who would know that he would come to a small restaurant like ours to open a room to practice sandbags every Friday? Ahh? , you are Brother Li's friend, are you also a star?"
An shyly shook his head: "Where is the star, I'm just running around, thanks to Brother Li."
"Oh, don't be humble, I think you look a bit like An Ruifeng, who has been very popular recently. Brother Li is so good, let him show you more acting, maybe you can really become the second An Ruifeng! "
"Thank you." An nodded and said seriously, "I also want to act with Brother Li more."
Wu Youpeng, who was watching all this from the side, was going to be sour. The actor deserved to be an actor. The switch between Gao Leng and the people was seamless, and the lie was even more easy to tell, and he didn't feel guilty at all. Look at how he tricked the little girl around, and actually leaked the personal privacy of the guests in such a confused way.
But then again, how did An know Wang Lili
Wang Lili, a man Wu Youpeng has met, is a golden male supporting actor in the circle. He was born in drama in his early years. Later, it is said that he had a gap with the troupe and went out to act in movies. He started from running the dragon and climbed up step by step. However, because of his ordinary appearance and boring personality, he is not appreciated by big investors. For more than ten years, he has played supporting roles, and the highest award is only the best male supporting role in a certain year. Without further ado, let's just say that he recently acted in "Rogue of the Rogue", which was for An Ruifeng.
Counting the time, in the years when Andrew was active in Panda Country, Wang Lili just switched from drama to film. If he knew him at that time, it would make sense.
After inquiring about Wang Lili's room number, An shy and shy declined the warm invitation from the front desk lady to lead the way, and hurriedly walked towards the last row of rooms. Wu Youpeng hurriedly followed. Looking for Wang Lili in a hurry.
At this time, An's face regained the cold look of an iceberg. His lips were tightly pursed, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and the whole figure was like a full bow. Just a light help, the sharp arrow on the bow. It will break through the air and pierce the center of the target. He was originally young, but with his serious expression, he became a lot more mature.
This old boxing gym was rebuilt from an old low-rise factory building, with a height of ten meters. After entering through the small door next to the front desk, you will arrive at the formal boxing arena. The six-square-meter boxing ring is placed in an orderly manner. In the large factory, most of the desks are empty. An did not stop here, but passed through the ring and headed towards the row of small rooms marked with numbers at the back of the factory building. Those small rooms that were neither soundproof nor thermally insulated were the "VIPs" of this stretched boxing gym. Each room has matching punching bags and boxing balls, which are enough to do some basic training.
Wang Lili's room was No. 5. An stood outside the door, staring at the large number on the door, with a look of nostalgia flashing across his eyes. He stood there and knocked on the door after a long time.
Wang Lili in the room didn't know whether to call it unsuspecting or careless, but he didn't ask who was outside the door in advance, but unlocked the door directly from the inside. Because of the high-intensity boxing training, his body was soaked with sweat. He pushed the door with one hand, picked up the corner of his shirt with the other to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and asked, "Who..."
All the words after that were swallowed back.
An was very agile, but relying on his slender body, he got in through the crack of the door opened by Wang Lili. Wu Youpeng wanted to follow, but the door slammed into him mercilessly. Wu Youpeng was so anxious about this lively gossip that he simply kept his head on the door and began to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.
The conversation was very quiet at first.
"You... why did you come back?" After asking this sentence, Brother Li suddenly laughed: "I should have guessed it, the video of you appearing at the graduation ceremony of the Condor Film Academy has been hot on the Internet recently. Your fans have also become active, and various collections of memories and wonderful videos have emerged one after another. How it looks like it seems to be building momentum for you to come back."
"Well, when it's time to come back, I'll definitely come back."
"...How long will you be back this time?"
An's tone was calm: "It depends on how long you want me to stay."
This sentence was like a fuse, and suddenly ignited the anger in Brother Li's heart. "How long do I want you to stay? What the hell do I have to do with you, how can I control your thoughts? You left when you said you left, and didn't even leave any contact information. I just rejected the man who appeared in your new movie. No. 2, to go abroad the next day, for seven or eight years?"
The more Li Ge said, the more excited he became: "And your good brother, An Ruifeng, right? I don't know if those entertainment reporters are playing stupid, those eyes are so similar to you, it's the first time for me When I saw him on TV, I thought you had plastic surgery!... I didn't want to talk to him at all during filming, but he came to me again and again, exactly like you did!"
"'At that time'?" An sighed softly, "I didn't expect you to remember things from so long ago."
"I'd rather not remember."
Brother Li's voice was decisive, as if to drive An out of his territory. "Let's go, just like you did back then. I'd rather believe that my good friend who would call me brother and brother died somewhere, and I don't want to see you appear calmly in front of me after so many years. "
Wu Youpeng could clearly hear the sound of fabric rubbing in the room, and it was estimated that Wang Lili was pulling An's clothes and trying to push him out of the door. When pushing and shoving, the voices of the two were very low at first, and they could vaguely hear the quarrel of "you go away", "I won't go", "you go" and "I don't". Getting closer to the door.
Hearing the sound of "duang", An's back slammed into the door.
Just when Wu Youpeng thought that An would be pushed out of the room like this, An opened his mouth. He didn't raise his voice hysterically, he seemed to be sighing and talking.
"Lili, you were the one who was unhappy, bumping into walls everywhere, running around the studio every day, refusing to return to the troupe, and insisting on acting in movies. I asked you to play opposite me in my new play, and you were worried about being told by others. You refused to come through the back door. You said that you have to work hard to impress the director and ask the director to invite you to be the first male... Well, I am the director now, I am moved by you, I ask you to be my first male, would you like to? ?"
After saying this, the room fell into silence. Wu Youpeng tried his best to listen and listen, but he couldn't hear anything.
Gradually, the small sobbing sounded in the door, and the sound seemed to be scratching at the softest part of the human heart. Just listening to it made people want to dig out their hearts and send them to him. He grinned.
Sure enough, with An's faint cry, Brother Li's embarrassed voice sounded: "You, don't cry... After all, you are a thirty-six-year-old man, you, what is it like to cry at every turn."
But the more he talked, the more An cried. An was not crying, but was really aggrieved and painful. His voice was muffled, as if he had put his head on Brother Li's shoulder, unwilling to show weakness.
Wu Youpeng could imagine how helpless Wang Lili was.
Brother Li said angrily: "You... why are you crying, I still want to cry! You didn't tell me the reason back then, you just left, and you sent a letter asking about your situation and it had to be passed on through your company. I thought you didn't like me and didn't want to be friends with me."
"How can it be, I have been sending you emails in the past few years since I left, but it was you who didn't reply!"
"Mail?... ah? Which mailbox?" Brother Li asked.
"Your private email!" An accused: "You didn't reply to one!"
Brother Li said dejectedly: "We don't use mailboxes for a long time. In recent years, we only use QQ and WeChat."
Wu Youpeng laughed and almost rolled off the door. He almost wanted to name the scene of this long-awaited reunion "Two People Barred by Times".
He was about to continue eavesdropping when the phone in his trouser pocket vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was another text message from Ling Xi.
Ling Xi: Angkor! ! ! ! Angkor Angkor Angkor Angkor Angkor Angkor Angkor Angkor Angkor! You must not believe it, just after the celebration party ended, An An actually admitted to dozens of media present that his brother was the actor Andrew! ! ! ! ! ! Now I am not only the man of the actor, I am also the sister-in-law of the actor! ! ! !
Wu Youpeng thought to himself, if you wait for a while, maybe you can still become the best male supporting wife's sister-in-law...
He was holding his mobile phone and preparing to congratulate Ling Xi. The door of the VIP boxing room suddenly opened. Wu Youpeng was leaning against the door, and he almost fell in when the door opened. An walked out from the door with his head lowered, Wang Lili did not chase, but stayed in the room, with his back to the door, he couldn't see the expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing that An was walking faster and faster, Wu Youpeng couldn't care about replying to the text message, and hurriedly chased after him.
Wu Youpeng stared at the other party's red eyes and pale face, wondering if he should comfort him at this time, and how to comfort him. He touched his trouser pocket, he remembered that when he just went to the toilet, he left a piece of toilet paper that he didn't use, but he didn't know if An could accept using the crumpled toilet paper to wipe his tears...
Seeing Wu Youpeng staring at him, An turned his head and let him look generously. There was no trace of fragility on his face at this time, it didn't look like he had just gone through a heart-wrenching cry.
An wiped the corners of his eyes and sneered: "Why, haven't you seen the actor?"
