After a while, Tao Le came to pick him up in the company's car.

"Would you like to drop by and drive you back?" Fang Lin asked Meng Jinyu, pulling himself out of his wild thoughts.

"No." There was joy on the other party's face that he wanted to hide but couldn't hide, "I'm waiting for someone to pick me up."

Fang Lin looked at the expression on his face and didn't say anything. How could anyone wait for the assistant to answer him with this expression

Just as Tao Le got out of the car happily, Fang Lin waved goodbye to Meng Jinyu: "Then I'll be leaving first."

"Go, let's go." This time Meng Jinyu didn't have the expression he had before, "Anyway, it's still early for the next recording, so you probably won't ask me to meet if you have nothing to do."

Fang Lin looked up at him, just as the other side turned his head to meet his gaze.

Meeting his gaze, Meng Jinyu smiled ostentatiously and frankly, like a proud cat shaking its fur: "Of course, if you insist on dragging me out with you, it's not impossible, but you have to tell me in advance, otherwise If you don’t have time, don’t you rush for nothing.”

Fang Lin didn't bother to tease him this time, and heard Meng Jinyu continue to say: "But you don't necessarily have time every day, do you? You are quite a topic right now."

After all, Fang Lin has quit the Internet these days, but he has not, and he is still following the drama in real time.

"Before I met you, I didn't expect you to be so interesting..." He paused, "By the way, I didn't think you robbed me of the role before. Anyway, if I was given it, I probably wouldn't be able to act well."

Fang Lin didn't expect him to say this suddenly, coughed and replied in a very artificial way: "Why did you suddenly figure it out and want to confess to me?"

"Say hell!" The normal atmosphere between the two of them was ruthlessly broken, and Meng Jinyu became the self-willed and petty-tempered look before, "Anyway, let me tell you! My fans will come out next. I won't care about tearing you up!"

"Okay, then I'll continue rubbing your heat." Fang Linman nodded nonchalantly, said half-jokingly, and then waved with satisfaction, "Goodbye."

Meng Jinyu snorted, took out his cell phone and started calling.

Fang Lin looked at him through the rearview mirror of the car, saw the unadulterated smile on his face, and was in a daze for a moment.

But what did it matter to him

Tao Le was a little surprised when he got into the car with him: "Why haven't you seen each other for a week, and you get along so well?"

Fang Lin put on his seat belt: "This is also thanks to the wisdom of the program crew."

It can turn a previous issue that seems to be very topical into a pseudo-farming food variety show.

In addition, Meng Jinyu himself is amazing, and there is often a thin line between cleverness and dullness, but no matter which one, at least I am the closest person to him in the past few days.

He probably talked to Tao Le, and the other party took a closer look at Fang Lin: "Okay, it's fine if you're not hungry or bullied. I don't have work on weekends, so I'll go home with you to put things away first?"

Just as Fang Lin was about to nod, he thought of something and took out the key and handed it to Tao Le: "You can just throw my luggage in the living room for me. I'll go to my grandma's."

Hearing that he was going to see his grandma, Tao Le agreed without any objection, put on his sunglasses and drove down the mountain.

It's just that the mouth is still not idle while driving.

Tao Le's calm and composed appearance only existed for less than five minutes, and when he was waiting for the red light, he finally raised his eyebrows with excitement: "Come on!"

Fang Lin waited leisurely for him to speak.

"Although I know you probably don't have much time to read comments and trending searches these days, but I still want to say—we've finally arrived!"

He took the opportunity to hand Fang Lin the interface that he was still scrolling before he came here: "Now the number of broadcasts of this drama has risen from the third in the same period to the first in the same period, and the stickiness of following the drama is very high. A few days ago, there was an update on the weekend, and those who said it was not enough to watch also got sweetness... "

He paused: "Of course, the most important thing is that your role is indeed very likable, you can't say that you can't take the lead, but now there are indeed a group of audiences who are looking for you, and the popularity of the role is not inferior to the two protagonists. "

While Tao Le was talking, the green light came on, and he continued to drive, while Fang Lin checked the current word-of-mouth with his mobile phone.

In contrast, the male number two is a relatively weak character in the whole drama. In fact, there is nothing wrong with the character design, and from the perspective of the plot, he should also be a character who is loved by others. After all, he represents the original calm " Now".

It may be that most of the actors' acting skills are online. The acting skills of the second male lead, which can be used in ordinary production idol dramas with light tone and color adjustment and some background music, seem not enough against the backdrop of everyone. Use, although it is not so bad that people will play, but it will not let people pay too much attention to him.

Because he didn't use his mobile phone these days, Fang Lin forcibly disconnected himself from the Internet for a week as if to escape, and now he was even a little nervous to open the public comments and barrage.

Now that the plot is almost over, after all the editing of this episode of the variety show is finished, it is estimated that he will be able to seamlessly connect to the vacuum period in which he is in the audience's field of vision.

He knows that this variety show is not very good, but he does need a camera, no matter what, so that he can be remembered.

Although the nature of the two is different, the reputation of the show is rising, but the variety show does not know what will happen. But anyway, his popularity is still rising, and it still has a great effect on maintaining exposure.

Unexpectedly, the barrage and messages were much gentler than he had imagined.

"True Fragrance Party, I used to think that the title of this drama looked like a fast-food drama that didn't take my mind off at first glance, but when I heard the name, I felt that it would get confused very quickly. Now I'm crying and chasing updates every day. Mom Jinghe Xiaochuan loves you all!"

"Someone said that the heroine is green tea?? Do you think green tea is everything you see?? Please, she didn't hook up with two men. Since she decided not to give up the past, she has been very straightforward. Malicious and rhythmic marketing If you win KPI, you lose your conscience."

"My mother asked me why I waited for updates every night like a fool, woo woo woo."

"I also!"

"1 1."

"Ah, although Xiaochuan's role is very small, every time I can turn it over and over again to see what's going on two or three times!!"

"Help me too, because of him I suddenly became an omnivore, I can knock on everything, I can knock on the main plot where he likes the heroine, I can still knock on those fan videos that cut him and his brother together, I doubt if it really happens I can beat a male second X Jingchuan!! What kind of sunflower am I!!!"

"Can you send me a copy of the fanfic video by the way? A good person will live a safe life."

"Ladies come here uninvited, I'll recommend some fairy clip UP masters."

"You are all wrong.jpg"

"The main reason is that Xiao Chuan is so cute. For the first time, I fell in love with a tool man. I would like to call it the most lovable tool man! Every time he calls sister, I feel like he is calling me!"

"Based on the whole, I think it's acceptable for the second male lead's acting skills to fail."

"That's the truth."

Of course, even though the crew has already posted on Weibo, there are still occasional unharmonious debates.

"Aside from other things, I was not willing to eat the melons of this actor and a certain traffic idol before, but now I feel that this role is fortunately not given to idols. This new face with acting skills is really very popular."

"1, Fans, don't come to me, I just think this person is more suitable than your brother."

"A certain star is really miserable, and he didn't participate in your show and was taken out of the show in various ways. Is it true that anyone can take a bite of blood without money?"

"How can there be idol fans here? I'm afraid I can't help but watch quietly while saying that my brother is the best and my brother is the best?"

"I beg of you guys, let's quarrel, don't interfere with my pursuit of the drama!! Thank you!!!"

"Help, seeing you guys arguing like this makes me look forward to that magical variety show."

"That's it. Looking at the production team, I can imagine the deliberate gimmicks in the previous episodes. It's boring. Of course, if the two really rip off in the show, I still want to watch it."

Fang Lin thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt that the next few recordings of this variety show might be a bit difficult, after all, there was no fight to quarrel with.

"Come on." Tao Le was driving, and he had no time to turn his head, so he could only look ahead.

"Ok?"

"That's great." This time his tone was not excited, and he felt relieved from the excitement.

Fang Lin knew what he probably wanted to say.

"I am, I just think," Tao Le showed a look of emotion on his face, but because he was always bluffing in the past, he rarely had such an expression, his fat face wrinkled slightly, looking cute and Kind of funny, "That's nice."

Fang Lin is the first artist he brought, and he is slightly younger than himself, "I know I have a lot of problems, I have no connections, and I am not mature. When I accompanied my family to pray for blessings this year, I secretly counted you , but to really see this day, to see you start to be noticed by people... It's great."

It was rare for him to be so emotional, Fang Lin could only say "ah" all of a sudden, and then said, "Yes."

"Let me tell you that if I were younger, I would open a small account and post on Chaohua like those little girls, saying that my brother is worth it."

"..." Fang Lin's emotion just disappeared, and he laughed and scolded, "Then brother went to the company to give you performance bonus."

"Okay, thank you, brother!" Tao Le also said casually, "Anyway, I think the new company treats you very well, and it shouldn't be too much for you to make such a small request."

The smile on Fang Lin's face faded a little, and he said something casually to cover it up.

Hai Lin is very kind to himself, he thought.

So he pushes forward and wants to deepen this kind of goodness a little bit.

The villa area was too far away from Senhai Hospital where grandma was staying. Fang Lin chatted with Tao Le for a while and fell asleep while leaning on the seat.

The road was not bumpy, and Fang Lin even had a dream in the short interval.

Rather than saying it was a dream, it was more like a flashback of a memory he was about to forget.

He seems to have returned to the same period of time before he was reborn. It was also autumn, and it was also such a Friday. He just repaid the expenses for the second half of the year to his grandmother, plus the treatment fee for the new cycle, and the money he saved was not much. .

He didn't feel sorry for himself, but just calmly thought about whether he should look for some more opportunities, and play any supporting role.

At that time, grandma’s condition was actually not very good. She didn’t have much time to wake up every day. Sometimes she was very energetic and dragged the nurse to chat endlessly.

Grandma always wears a hat, because her hair falls out a lot and is sparse. He actually knew that the other party's body was like an old tree in its dying years, unable to escape the laws of nature and go to decline.

But people are always greedy, wanting her to spend more time with him.

"Gentle Moonlight" is still popular, and there is no need to buy hot searches. The Weibo square is full of discussions about it. Some people analyze the plot easter eggs. Some people say that the failure of this show is that the acting skills of the supporting actors are difficult to get into the play. They say that Meng Jinyu played it Jing Chuan is an exquisite vase, he can't even play a tool person well.

But no matter whether it is praise or criticism, the enthusiasm has continued.

It's just that none of this has anything to do with him.

"Lin, wake up." Suddenly, Fang Lin felt someone shake his shoulders, and Tao Le drove the car to the gate of Senhai Hospital before waking him up, "Here we are."

He rubbed his temples.

"Then I will trouble you." Fang Lin said.

"It's okay, next time I'll go to your house for dinner, and your house is also close to my place, so it's not troublesome to drop by."

Fang Lin was about to get out of the car, but before he opened the door, he was pulled by Tao Le: "Wait!"

Tao Le nervously took out a pair of big sunglasses: "Put it on, although I know this place is nothing, but if someone recognizes it, maybe it's not good for my grandma."

So Fang Lin took it and put it on the bridge of his nose obediently: "... I'm not used to it."

"Okay, okay, let's go," Tao Le waved goodbye when he saw him get out of the car, "Anyway, you have to get used to it in the future."

After Tao Le had driven the car away, Fang Lin walked into the hospital, but he still couldn't get out of the dream just now.

As he walked, he distinguished the difference between this moment and that memory.

He couldn't even say that the dream was an illusion—because he did experience those days, and sometimes he could recall the details.

A long time of not being taken seriously, an increasingly cold autumn night, the departure of the only relative, and an accident that finally ended everything.

But there was no Duan Changke in the dream just now.

In fact, he didn't want to admit that even without Duan Changke, Fang Lin wouldn't be so poor that he needed to transfer his grandmother to another hospital.

I also don't want to admit that at the beginning, he wanted to be less tired, and it wasn't just a momentary fever.

But it is precisely because of him that the experience I have come back to now is brand new, even something I could never have hoped for.

Fang Lin walked to the small attic that belonged to grandma, and knocked on the door.

There was a pleasant "coming" from inside, and soon I heard footsteps approaching me. After a while, the old man appeared in front of me with a smiling face.

The door was opened, and the melting warmth spread out from the room, wrapping Fang Lin tightly.

The nurse whispered from the side: "The old lady's consciousness is still good now, she is quite sober, and she is not in the previous time for the time being."

Fang Lin nodded, and bent down towards the old man.

The other party was sitting in a wheelchair, even though he was struggling, he still reached out and took off Fang Lin's glasses on the bridge of his nose.

It was probably because the room was too warm, but within a few seconds, some damp mist was already on the lens.

Fang Lin saw his own appearance reflected in the old man's cloudy eyes, and his lifeless loose skin was wrinkled because of his smile——

But she still touched his face very tenderly, giggled, and said proudly: "The big star is back."

This time visiting the old man was sober for a long time.

Even several times Fang Lin's questions were quickly answered and answered.

He cooked for grandma, but the other party was still talking about washing the dishes, so Fang Lin changed the topic and chatted casually before coaxing the old man away.

At dusk, he pushed the old man for a walk for a while, and when the nurse finished washing the dishes, he pushed her back and watched TV with her on the sofa.

The nurse was still the same as before. Last time, she thought that the old man always said that his grandson was a big star was something she had imagined. Looking at Fang Lin now, she was a little surprised and a little unbelievable: "You, you are really a filmmaker... I I saw it on TV the other day when I got home."

Her voice was excited: "In the past few days, I have shown the old lady the few episodes of the TV series you acted in. She can recognize you at a glance, pointing to the TV and saying that this is my grandson, even if the plot is not very clear. , but every time I have to turn it over and over again to play it to her."

The old lady is in a particularly good mood today, and her reaction is not so slow. Hearing the nurse said this, she smiled happily and said, "Isn't it? Now I have to wear sunglasses when I go out. It's very powerful."

Today, Fang Lin was told by Meng Jinyu that he would definitely become more popular in the future, and Tao Le said that he finally saw this day, but he was not moved too much. Instead, he blushed for a while when he heard his relatives praise him: "Yes, yes, grandma. .”

The old man grabbed his hand for a while: "Did I waste your time too much?"

Then she turned to the nurse and said, "Linlin is very busy now."

Fang Lin shook his head quickly: "No, didn't he come here as soon as he was free?"

"Nowhere." The old lady said seriously, "I know, those of you who want to be on TV have to fly around every day, and you must have made time to see me today."

"Grandma, I didn't..." Fang Lin wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the other party.

"It's okay, I'll just watch Linlin on TV more in the future," the old man patted his palm seriously, "I know, you don't have to worry about me all the time."

Her tone was as gentle and kind as ever.

Fang Lin was stunned.

The setting sun had not yet fully set, the old man was sitting in a wheelchair, his body leaned forward, and his back carried the simplicity and golden tenderness of the whole autumn.

"I know Linlin always wants to be with me," she said, "I want to too. But I always have to go first."

These few sentences are very simple, but it is rare for her to say such clear words.

Suddenly, Fang Lin had the illusion that he was completely seen through.

Maybe she doesn't know her own situation, maybe she doesn't know that he gritted his teeth and spent a lot of money to give her the best treatment conditions, maybe he doesn't know that sometimes he will live in the past, maybe he doesn't know His pretending to be strong may not necessarily mean that he does not know the deadline of his life.

Fang Lin wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, the acting skills that he thought he had some experience in after so many years in the industry are now like a clown's clumsy tricks, full of flaws in front of the old man, but he still has to pretend to be seamless and continue to cover it up.

"Oh." Finally, when the sky darkened and the autumn mood gradually gathered on the old man's back, his throat and hair became dry, and he said like he was absent-mindedly admitting his mistakes every time he made a mistake while studying, "I know."

"Huh?" After a while, the old man seemed to just wake up from a light sleep, grabbed Fang Lin's hand and said, "Lin Lin is back?"

Fang Lin was stunned.

"Go wash your hands and eat. I will give you money to buy candied haws next door after you finish your homework." The old man seemed to have returned to a certain day in the past, and raised his hand to stroke Fang Lin's hair. gone."

But "this day" didn't last long, she suddenly waved to the nurse again: "Xiao Huang, Xiao Huang, come here!"

She seemed to lose sight of Fang Lin in front of her again, and hurriedly said to the nurse, "It's getting dark, turn on the TV for me quickly. Change the channel, change the channel."

"—Linlin's TV show is about to start again."

Because there was no announcement on the weekend, Fang Lin stayed with her until very late this time before leaving.

Even though the old man was still the same as usual, he didn't know people clearly, and sometimes his memory returned to his childhood, and he couldn't remember the name of some Fang Lin when he said it. But the physical condition is not bad, and I ate two more pastries later.

When we went back, it started to rain lightly again, Fang Lin hailed a car, and stood in the duty booth at the entrance of the hospital to shelter from the rain.

There is always more rain in early autumn, and the greening of Senhai is also well done. Although it is not the same as that in the villa area, it is still lush.

There were no stars in the sky, or rather, the stars were broken into pieces in the clouds and turned into drizzle, which fell on the tops of the pointed trees.

He didn't have any thoughts, but Fang Lin walked into the rain before the car arrived.

This rain was not heavy, even though the rain made a slight sound, it became lighter when it fell on Fang Lin's body, and it only stayed on the tips of his hair, or condensed into small droplets and stuck to his clothes.

The whole ground was soaked by rain, but he didn't bring an umbrella.

He seemed to be re-immersed in the dream when he came—

What breaks the silence is the vibration of the mobile phone in the pocket.

Fang Lin's fingertips felt cool, he hesitated for a moment, and pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Mr. Duan."
