Many years later, when Xue Xiao recalled this day, what he recalled was the golden sequins scattered in the air throughout the studio, the dazzling lights, and the passionate music.
It was his friends who rushed onto the stage, their arms around his shoulders and their hands rubbing his head.
It was the tears in his parents' eyes.
Also, Shen Tingyan.
He walked up to him, handed him the heavy golden trophy, and as everyone cheered, stretched his arms and hugged him tightly.
The man whispered in his ear with a smile, "Congratulations."
This night, almost the entire Internet was discussing "Superstar on Studio".
The live broadcast is over, but the popularity on the Internet is boiling to the highest point. On the related entry square, three new Weibo posts can be refreshed almost every second.
Cheng Yang's incredible expression when he heard his final vote was screenshotted and publicly executed.
"Damn, this size difference is so sweet!"
Zhang Ning burst into tears and smiled, pointing at her husband: "I told you not to care about your son."
After hesitating for a few words, he plucked up the courage and said, "Teacher Shen wants to meet you, how about..."
Xue Jiangshan: "Hey, why did I tell you not to cry? You're crying even harder."
Zhang Ning's eyes were still red. She turned around and straightened Xue Xiao's collar.
"Are Shen Tingyan and Xue Xiao real? I have never seen Shen Tingyan become like this for anyone. He is so gentle now..."
"Smile, you're so little nestled in Teacher Shen's arms [saliva]"
Dou Mingjian and Gu Ling smiled when they heard that Xue Xiao won the championship. The friends watching from the student seats rushed to the stage like wild horses. These two scenes were animated by netizens. Everyone said with emotion, "Fairy." friendship".
Xue Jiangshan stared angrily. Did he not care? He was using actions instead of words!
"Take good care of yourself, don't mess up your schedule and have irregular meals, which will damage your body at a young age."
But his father has no reason to refuse Shen Tingyan's meeting, unless they have seen that the relationship between him and Shen Tingyan is unusual, and they are now extremely repulsive...
The more Xue Xiao listened, the more tears he shed, and his eyes could hardly contain them.
She choked up and said, "Tonight was great. Congratulations, son."
Xue Jiangshan waved his hand and said: "You can just go, what will happen to us if we go. Besides, your mother and I have to fly home early tomorrow morning. If we don't go to bed early, we won't be able to get up tomorrow."
When Shen Tingyan heard this answer, he immediately felt relieved. He chuckled and talked about business: "Are your parents going to the celebration banquet together tonight?"
But without thinking the next second, Xue Jiangshan waved his hand again.
At this moment, Xue Xiao's cell phone suddenly vibrated.
Xue Xiao answered the phone, and Shen Tingyan asked as soon as he heard his voice: "Are you crying?"
Whether the relationship between Shen Tingyan and Xue Xiao was a master-disciple relationship or a love affair became a topic often discussed by netizens in the following five years.
Every time his dad waved his hand, it meant rejection.
He said to Xue Xiao: "You should learn from Shen Tingyan from now on. Your mother and I can't help you with anything, but you still have to remember to call home when you encounter problems, you know? Don't be bored about everything. In my heart, it’s okay to talk to us.”
Xue Xiao's heart dropped, and what his father said was: "What's Teacher Shen? Don't pretend in front of your mother and me. If you don't respond after you said those disgusting words just now, just call him "Shen Tingyan"!
Xue Xiao hurriedly ran through the backstage corridor and caught up with his parents before they left. He took a breath and said, "Are you leaving now? Don't you want to go to the celebration banquet with us? Director Gao asked me to take you there with him."
-Xue Xiao's clothes have always been clean and tidy. There is nothing to organize. She is just used to this action.
Xue Xiao couldn't bear to see his mother cry. When his mother cried, he couldn't help but have a sore nose: "Mom..."
"They are not going. They have a flight tomorrow morning and now they have to go back to the hotel to rest..."
Xue Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
Xue Jiangshan blushed, glared at Xue Xiao, and told him to stop talking.
It was Shen Tingyan's call.
Xue Xiao was stunned and blushed a little.
His heart was beating again.
“This is not love what is love???”
There are more things that netizens are concerned about, such as whether the middle-aged couple in the front row of the auditorium that the camera scanned are Xue Xiao's parents, who Gu Ling cares about, and whether the program team can also celebrate tonight's celebration banquet. Live broadcast...
Xue Jiangshan: "..."
In "Fan Yin", the scene of Shen Tingyan and Xue Xiao's foreheads touching each other was put together with the scene of the two hugging each other during the final award ceremony.
Shen Tingyan wanted to come to see his parents
Seeing Xue Xiao's shy look, Zhang Ning asked softly: "Who called?"
Xue Xiao sniffed and said, "Because I've never heard you talk about it like this..."
Xue Jiangshan said with a smile: "Come on, it's such a happy thing to win the championship, there's nothing to cry about."
Xue Xiao hesitated and said, "Shen Tingyan."
Shen Tingyan was silent for a moment, seeming to think this matter was a bit tricky, and whispered: "I can't leave now, can you ask your parents to wait for a while? I'll be right over."
Xue Xiao looked at his father, raised his lips and said, "I was moved to tears by my father just now..."
Xue Xiao: "...?!"
Zhang Ning on the side almost choked and spit out Xue Jiangshan's words.
She glanced at Xue Xiao's stiff expression and found it a little funny, then sighed: "You guys are really... ugh."
"You are really becoming more and more courageous," Zhang Ning shook his head, "I sometimes wonder, are you really my son? Why are you so rebellious?"
Xue Xiao clenched his hands and felt a lump in his throat: "Isn't that right..."
Zhang Ning interrupted him: "Don't keep saying sorry to us. I'm not blaming you, I'm just thinking..."
Zhang Ning was silent for a moment and said, "I was just wondering how many things you had been holding in your heart for the past twenty years or so."
"So, do you remember what your dad said? Don't keep everything to yourself in the future, and make yourself depressed for no reason. Your dad and I were wrong about your acting. We had a quarrel with you in the first place. That way, we are getting older, but we are still making progress, and we will gradually adapt to your true temperament in the future."
"You are our son, not a pet or a toy. We will not restrict you from doing this or that, as long as you pay attention to protecting yourself."
Xue Xiao didn't expect his mother to say that.
He really never thought that the matter between him and Shen Tingyan would be so easy for his parents to get through.
Xue Xiao only felt that his chest was blocked by a complex emotion.
There were too many happy things tonight, and he had a lot to say, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say first. The collision of emotions made his eyes warm.
Xue Jiangshan said: "How old are you? You still cry all day long!"
"..." Xue Xiao whispered unconvincedly, "... It's just today for me!"
Zhang Ning smiled: "Okay, okay."
She could probably guess why Shen Tingyan asked them, and said sternly: "Forget it tonight, your dad and I really have to go back to rest, and we can make a date later."
Xue Xiao calmed down, blushed and said, "Okay..."
On the other end, Shen Tingyan listened to the whole thing quietly on the phone. Only then did he speak out and said softly: "I asked Fang Lei to drive my uncle and aunt back to the hotel."
*
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the group moved to the five-star hotel restaurant in the city center.
The sound of wine glasses clinking sounded: "Cheers—"
Xue Xiao and Shen Tingyan were invited to the middle of the crowd respectively, and they happened to face each other.
The beer sloshed in the glass, refracting the light.
The others raised their heads and finished fucking. Xue Xiao was halfway through cooing when he suddenly noticed Shen Tingyan's gaze...
The man looked at him lightly.
Xue Xiao stopped and put down the half-empty wine glass...
Lao Gao got drunk tonight and said loudly: "I said at the beginning that this show would definitely work, but those old guys still didn't believe it and kept asking for the variety show effect all day long, ha! Now, let's see!"
"Director Gao is awesome!"
"Long live Director Gao!"
"When will Director Gao start the second season? I'll ask my brother to come too!"
Lao Gao burped and gave a sure message: "Next May, I will make a comeback!"
"Hahaha, Lao Gao is really drunk. Is this how 'comeback' is used?"
As the overall champion, Xue Xiao was toasted countless times tonight.
But he remembered the look in Shen Tingyan's eyes and couldn't get drunk tonight...
So he only drank a sip of Xiao Bo Mi every time, and was teased by others, "Smile, you are drinking liquor."
Jiang Lianlian said: "I will join the set tomorrow. This filming will take about four months. Come and visit the set when you are free."
Jin Xiaochen said excitedly: "Filming in the film and television city?"
Jiang Lianlian smiled: "In the Gobi Desert."
Jin Xiaochen cupped his hands and said, "...Farewell."
Zhao Dong: "I'm going to join Director Lu's team in a month, and it happens to be filming in your hometown, Xiao Jin."
Jin Xiaochen's eyes lit up again: "Really? I'll be there then!"
Dou Mingjian asked curiously: "Why are you so free? Your agent didn't arrange any work for you?"
Jin Xiaochen: "Of course I do, but it's just a residency at a variety show. I'll record it every few days. There's always a day off in between!"
Huang Xiaolin said with envy: "It's great. My work at the back is very messy. I have to run around here and there, but luckily I'm not as idle as before..."
Chang Yun chewed the duck tongue: "I have a week off but I have to join the crew to film. Teacher Gu, Brother Dou, Xiao, where are you three?"
Dou Mingjian and Xue Xiao are still like that - it will take a few days before Fang Lei will talk to them alone and decide on the next itinerary.
According to Fang Lei, "don't worry."
As for Gu Ling.
He said calmly: "I should try to take the master's degree in drama and film."
Everyone was shocked.
Xue Xiao couldn't help but ask: "Are we still filming..."
It was not easy to solve the problem.
Gu Ling smiled at him: "If you have a good script, shoot it."
It’s the same sentence as before.
Xue Xiao was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt relieved.
Gu Ling has such a character.
Some people choose to devote themselves to taking root in this soil, but some people just want to be high-flying birds. When the time comes, they will swoop down and land on the ground.
Nothing wrong with that either.
People can live in various ways.
After figuring it out, Xue Xiao clinked glasses with Gu Ling and said briskly: "If there is a new movie, please tell us."
Gu Ling looked at him: "Yes, you have to work hard."
After three drinks, everyone started handing out gifts.
—The one that Lao Gao suggested they prepare for in the fourth round.
Most people leave it until this time.
Xue Xiao received many envelopes.
Some of them are very thin, and they are obviously letter paper inside, perhaps with blessings for his future written on them.
Some envelopes contain small items.
Xue Xiao was already ready. He opened his backpack, took out a thick pile of envelopes and started running around the place.
While running, he heard someone shouting around him: "Wow, Teacher Shen gave him tickets to the premiere of his last movie!" Xue Xiao immediately turned around and looked over.
The person who distributed the envelopes for Shen Tingyan was a staff member from the program team.
"When did Teacher Shen make the movie?"
"It was filmed at the end of last year, wasn't it said to be released this summer?"
"Don't be so talkative. Teacher Shen didn't say that the last one was perfect. If there was a script he really liked, he would still shoot it!"
"Bah, bah, bah, I made a mistake."
"By the way, where is Mr. Shen?"
Xue Xiao also quickly turned around to look.
Yes, where is Shen Tingyan
The only letter left in his hand was Shen Tingyan's unsent letter...
Suddenly, the phone buzzed and vibrated.
Shen Tingyan sent a message: "Come to the top floor."
Xue Xiao swallowed, his heart pounding.
He felt like a thief.
After receiving the news, he quietly looked around to make sure no one noticed him, then blushed and slipped out of the banquet hall, taking the elevator to the top floor.
The top floor is a garden terrace.
Several small night lights are scattered among the clusters of flowers.
In this breezy summer night, the light emitted by the night light is as dense as fog, and the beautiful land is like a fairyland.
With a nervous heartbeat, Xue Xiao walked around a path and saw Shen Tingyan's figure.
The man was lounging against a small wooden bar table.
He took off his suit jacket and placed it on the table. The cuffs were rolled up, revealing his strong forearms.
As soon as he took a sip of wine, he caught a glimpse of Xue Xiao and tilted his head, looking straight at him.
No words were spoken, but the message "Come here quickly" was radiated from every part of his body.
It's like seducing people.
Xue Xiao walked over with a blushing face and heartbeat.
He smelled the faint scent of perfume on Shen Tingyan.
There is also a lighter aroma of wine.
Shen Tingyan drank white wine instead of beer.
He took Xue Xiao's hand and asked, "Are you tired?"
"fine."
"You're not drunk, are you?"
"..." Xue Xiao, "I really only drank a little this time!"
Shen Tingyan laughed: "According to what your master said, your alcohol consumption can drop from four bottles to two bottles in more than a month. So now, counting the time, isn't it almost time to drop to 0?"
Xue Xiao denied it flatly: "No, absolutely not!"
He decided to fight back and said sternly: "You are more like drunk..."
Shen Tingyan smiled half-heartedly: "If I were drunk, could I talk to you like this now?"
He shook Xue Xiao's little hand, which meant that if he did something else wrong, why would he just hold hands with him innocently
Xue Xiao suddenly felt that the place being held was hot.
He lowered his head, his cheeks burning.
But he was shy, but he still stayed in front of Shen Tingyan obediently.
Every time Shen Tingyan sees Xue Xiao looking like this...
Can't say "just" anything.
He stared directly at Xue Xiao, feeling that this summer night was even hotter than he had imagined.
He decided to get to the point quickly.
A letter was stuffed into Xue Xiao's hand.
He froze for a moment.
The letter Shen Tingyan gave him was obviously different from the letters he gave to other students.
All other students received was a thin ticket to the premiere, but the envelope he received at this time was bulging, and there was something inside.
Before he could open it and look at it, Shen Tingyan stretched out his hand and asked, "Where's mine?"
Xue Xiao pursed her lips and smiled, then handed over her envelope.
His envelope is very thin.
Shen Tingyan looked over and looked at him: "Do you give it to others like this?"
Xue Xiao shook his head: "The ones given to others are thicker."
Shen Tingyan: "..."
Xue Xiao's smile deepened, and then he opened Shen Tingyan's envelope and was stunned.
In those short few seconds, he made many assumptions.
Could it be some small pendant that Shen Tingyan gave him
Or, decoration? Men's jewelry? ring
It was actually hard for him to imagine what kind of gift Shen Tingyan would give him. After all, no one had ever seen Shen Tingyan in love.
Xue Xiao feels that this man is very talented in film and television creation, but when it comes to love, he may be a little clumsy.
But it doesn't matter, he likes even the clumsy Shen Tingyan.
However, what Shen Tingyan put in the envelope was actually a bunch of keys and a small origami star.
The paper for the little stars has a black background, printed with gold little stars, and is folded into a round shape with clear five corners.
Xue Xiao's eyelashes trembled slightly and he raised his eyes to look at Shen Tingyan.
Shen Tingyan paused, coughed softly, and said, "I came up with it suddenly at that time. What I really want to give you is the bunch of keys."
Xue Xiao gently held the little star in his hand.
He felt as if the little star was glowing.
so cute.
He took out the bunch of keys again.
A total of four keys were strung on the metal ring. Xue Xiao whispered: "...are these keys...?"
Shen Tingyan said: "I have two apartments in the capital, an apartment in City X, where I used to go to film, and a villa in City Y. Every time I have a holiday, I will go there to live for a while."
City Y is a coastal city.
He looked down at Xue Xiao and said: "The four sets of keys open four doors respectively. When you go there, I will take your fingerprints and you won't need the keys in the future."
Xue Xiao was shocked.
This gift is too straightforward, but this kind of straightforwardness seems to be quite Shen Tingyan's style.
He felt touched and funny at the same time.
He couldn't help but raise his head and raise his lips to look at this man.
Shen Tingyan's eyes were also smiling, and he said: "Our home - I mean the home of me and my parents. You have already been there. My mother asked me to take your fingerprints next time I take you home. ”
Xue Xiao said awkwardly: "Your parents must have known about it for a long time..."
The last time they met, Shen Jingyang and Yang Liuyi's reactions had always been subtle.
Shen Tingyan said bluntly: "I told them both when I made up my mind to chase you."
Xue Xiao blushed again and asked with her heart beating fast: "... When did you make up your mind to chase me?"
Shen Tingyan stopped telling the answer and raised his eyebrows: "What do you think?"
Xue Xiao: "..."
Teasing him again!
Shen Tingyan raised his lips and said, "Let me see what you gave me first."
Slender fingers opened the envelope and took out... a Polaroid.
Xue Xiao has a small instant camera, but he doesn’t use it very often.
During the last period of the competition, he took pictures everywhere, taking pictures of the scenery in every corner of the camp and the students during rehearsals.
He gave all students and instructors Polaroid photos, five for each person.
Only for Shen Tingyan, he only gave one.
The protagonist of this photo is only Shen Tingyan.
In the picture, a man is leaning against a classroom window on the third floor of Building 3, smoking lazily.
The blue smoke floated into the distance, and under the blue sky, the bright sunshine poured over a large area on the side of Building No. 3, so the entire picture became golden.
Very nice.
Shen Tingyan's heart moved slightly, as if being pulled by something, he turned the photo over.
There is a line of beautiful words written on the back of the Polaroid.
"If the wind has kissed your cheek, I wonder if it has carried my heartbeat to your ear."
Shen Ting paused.
This sentence is a line from a certain classic romance movie.
There is an original work for that movie, and the original book is standing quietly on the bookshelf in Shen Tingyan's room in the Shen family.
That is the only love novel Shen Tingyan has collected.
That day, Xue Xiao noticed.
Apparently, he had also read the novel.
And behind this unfinished line, there is another sentence.
"—I wonder if it told you."
"I love you."
Shen Tingyan slowly raised his eyes.
The young man's cheeks were red, and his breathing became a little rapid because of nervousness and shyness.
Those beautiful eyes contained swaying water.
He moved his lips, but before he uttered a word, Shen Tingyan knew what he was going to say and said:
"Xue Xiao."
"Smile, I love you."
Xue Xiao froze.
Shen Tingyan raised his hand, caressed the side of his face, smiled, and whispered: "You have already said this, now it is up to me to say it."
"Then, I still want to ask."
"Stay with me, okay?"
