Lin Xi had visited this house with Shu Shan several times before.
This is the house that Chu Jinjie decided for the two of them in city b. Since it is only the house where she lives with Shu Shan, it does not mean that Uno's house is large in size and occupies a good area. But later, something happened to the two of them. Although Chu Jinjie gave the house to He Shushan as part of the breakup fee, after a while, the two reconciled as before, like glue, but the house was still there. It was never replaced again.
At first, he and Shu Shan were very surprised when they saw Lin Xi and Uno, but when they found that the two were still carrying some things, he understood the meaning of the visit.
With a light smile, he turned his head to the side, and teased with Shu Shan: "You big and small bags, is this a late New Year's greeting?"
After the hotel incident between Lin Xi and Uno was exposed, he and Shu Shan made a cross-ocean phone call to inquire. He had already learned about the relationship between the two from Uno, so he wasn't too surprised to see these two coming to the door together.
Lin Xi handed the beautifully wrapped gift box to Steward Wang who was standing beside him, and said with a smile, "Then I wish: Shu Shan will win the Golden Melody Award of the Year in a few days." He cupped his hands and made a special gesture. A gesture of New Year's greetings.
"Your sister Ji Mei has also been nominated for the best golden song this year. If she hears this, she will definitely beat you up." He Shu Shan couldn't help but chuckled when he heard the words, flaxen soft hair glowed under the sunlight. With off-white color. He shook his head, eyebrows and eyes frowned: "Okay, let's go in. I think you all came here to smell the smell of Madam Yuan's food, right?"
After the two changed their shoes, they entered the house.
Different from Uno's warm and simple Mediterranean style, the decoration of this house is arranged according to Chu Jinjie's preferences. The magnificent black and white layout, the floor is covered with a layer of cold and flooded white bricks, the living room has a very high ceiling, directly connected to the second floor.
Seeing Lin Xi's eyes looking around, and Shu Shan's soft voice: "Jinjie is very busy today, and may not come back until evening. I remember Lin Xi, you have only come to the company for more than half a year, so you probably haven't seen him yet? Today he It's fine if we're not here, we can eat more comfortably." He then complained, "You don't know, there are too many rules in their house. Which dish to serve first and how many bites to eat are simply too numerous to count."
"Sir, this is a rule that has been passed down by the Chu family for hundreds of years. The law of the ancestors cannot be revoked." An old-fashioned and serious voice sounded from the side. Lin Xi heard the sound and looked, and saw Steward Wang, who combed his gray hair meticulously, was slightly bending over, and said respectfully.
He Shu Shan showed a helpless expression on his delicate face, and said, "I'm sorry, Steward Wang."
"No, it's my fault, sir."
"..."
Fortunately, Mrs. Yuan's delicious meal was served quickly, and the few of them never struggled with this issue again. Although Auntie Yuan's cooking skills are not as good as Yongshengju's, it is definitely memorable.
After the meal, Uno went to the company for business first, and Lin Xi followed Shu Shan to the recording studio on the second floor.
This recording studio that Chu Jinjie specially built for He Shu Shan took up nearly half of the entire second floor. Whether it is sound insulation equipment, microphone stands, or mixing consoles, amplified speakers, everything is available, and it is even more formal than some small recording studios.
He Shushan lowered his head and stroked the uneven tuning keys on the mixer, and said: "To be honest, Lin Xi. When I first met you half a year ago, I would never have thought that one day you Will stand here and talk to me like this."
Under the dim yellow light unique to the recording studio, Lin Xi looked at Shu Shan and Shu Shan calmly, without speaking.
Probably because of the lowered head, the gentle light above the head sprinkled on He Shushan's elegant facial features from top to bottom, adding a touch of calm. "I didn't have a chance before, but there is actually something I want to apologize to you."
He Shushan looked up from the colorful mixing console, looked at Lin Xi with apology, and said, "Don't take it to heart when I called you before. Although I don't know why you would …to do that kind of thing, but I trust you not to lie to me."
Listening to the other party's pleasant voice, Lin Xi only felt a kind of sourness spread from the bottom of his heart, and with the word "believe", it gradually became bitter, and finally turned into a deep helplessness and guilt.
"No, I should be the one apologizing to you." With a heavy sigh, Lin Xi continued: "Actually, I lied to you, Shu Shan."
"Oh? Are you saying that you concealed your relationship with Pan Lun before?" He Shushan shook his head amusedly, and said, "It's nothing. It's something you did wrong before. Now that you know how to correct yourself, that's fine." gone."
"Shu Shan, don't you really understand?"
Seeing Lin Xi's serious expression, what He Shu Shan originally wanted to say was also blocked in his mouth. He was startled, suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, but it slipped away again so fast that he couldn't see clearly.
There was a strange smile on his lips, and He Shushan asked: "I should understand... what?"
"Chu Jinjie has too many rules, but if you don't mind, I can help you punch him again." The plump lips parted gently, and Lin Xi's clear and bright eyes shone brightly, Under the background of the lights, it looks like a jewel, "This time, I promise, I will definitely make him obey you, and dare not say a word 'no' again."
"Kata" sounded in the silent recording studio.
The sound instantly brought He Shu Shan back to his senses, and he slowly lowered his head to look, only to realize that he had pressed the button of the mixer at some point. Probably because the action was too sudden, forceful and too fierce, so the sliding button with the red letter was pushed off by myself and fell to the ground.
But this unexpected accident, like a small stone, can only cause insignificant ripples when thrown into He Shu Shan's already turbulent hearts. Now the turbulent thoughts in his heart have broken through all his thoughts, making him tremble slightly and speechless.
"I'm sorry, Shu Shan. I'm really sorry I didn't tell you at the beginning." Lin Xi lowered her eyes apologetically, and said seriously: "I was also very sad to see you like that at the funeral. But, At that time, I was carrying a lot of things in my heart, so I couldn't... cough cough cough... "
Suddenly being punched in the chest, Lin Xi took advantage of the situation and staggered back three or four steps, barely steadying himself. He clutched his aching chest, not understanding what happened for a while.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Lin Xi!" There was a tinge of fear in the voice, and Shu Shan's eyes were flushed, and he shouted in a low voice: "This... this kind of vile joke, please don't say it again! "
The years have always left traces on He Shu Shan's body, and he just turned thirty is no longer the newcomer who didn't know the world. Over the years, he has been able to laugh away all the dirty and scandalous things in the circle, but today, he discovered that...
It turned out that I didn't have the ability to control my emotions at all.
That punch was not light, and Shu Shan used at least 50% of his strength. Lin Xi clutched his chest and coughed for a long time before he stopped. He just wanted to raise his head and explain something to He Shu Shan, but when his eyes touched the shocked and hesitant expression on the other side's face, no matter how much he explained, all the words he had to explain turned into nothingness .
The person at the funeral who was so pale that he was about to faint came to mind, Lin Xi finally sighed, and said solemnly and apologetically: "I'm really sorry for not telling you earlier, Shu Shan. "
This sound echoed back and forth in the quiet recording studio. There was no sound in the huge room. When the last echo disappeared, everything was reduced to an embarrassingly terrifying silence. Lin Xi kept his head down, not daring to look at He Shu Shan's face, but after a long time without a response, he also became anxious.
Just as Lin Xi was about to raise his head, he suddenly felt a strong hug. He and Shu Shan tightly hugged the man whose image had changed drastically, and he quickly wiped away the wet water from the corners of his eyes, his voice choked and hoarse: "You're fine... it's fine, it's fine."
Lin Xi was stunned for a while, then slowly raised his hands, also hugging the trembling back of the person in front of him. Skinny as a stick, even the sharp spine in the middle is strangely prominent due to the sudden thinning in half a year, even through two layers of clothing, you can clearly feel the protruding joints due to being too thin spine.
Her throat felt as hot as if it had been scorched by fire, Lin Xi opened her mouth and sighed, "Shu Shan, you've lost a lot of weight."
"My appetite isn't very good recently, don't worry, it will get better in a few days." Gently opened Lin Xi, and said to Shu Shan nonchalantly. There was a faint smile on his lips, and the whole person was as warm as the sun.
Lin Xi's throat froze, but he didn't speak again.
It wasn't until today that he realized how much the person in front of him had lost in the past six months. Covering his increasingly thin body with loose clothes, he smiled calmly and warmly every day, and buried the grief of losing his best friend deeply in his heart.
Naturally, Lin Xi would not expose the lie of "lack of appetite", he smiled and watched Shu Shan tidy up his slightly messy clothes and hair, and said, "Let Sister-in-law Yuan cook some more soup for you, and make up for it." .”
"Yeah." Eye sockets were still a little red, but the most familiar smile was already on his cheeks, and he said to Shu Shan, "I haven't forgiven you yet. But... now you can tell me what happened What happened?"
When deciding to tell the other party the truth, Lin Xi guessed the current situation. He has long given up on that villain, so when he is about to tell He Shu Shan, everything is not so hard to say.
The sound insulation effect of the recording studio is quite good, and it is so quiet that there is a sound of a needle falling. In the spacious space, the hazy yellow sunlight dragged down a gentle light, casting two slender shadows on the ground. Lin Xi said so, and Shu Shan listened.
When hearing Lin Xi's words, He Shu Shan's already somewhat skeptical mood became even more furious. At this time, the most unlucky thing is the innocent mixer. This thing that was most cherished by the owner in the past has lost several sliding buttons in a row, which is really miserable.
Lin Xi bid farewell to Shu Shan before Chu Jinjie returned home. Rejecting the other party's repeated intention to stay, he only walked for a few minutes before returning home. Before entering the door, through the clean and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, Lin Xi saw the white lights falling on the lawn.
As soon as the door was opened, the sweet and sour aroma of vegetables came out. The sweet and sour smell made Lin Xi's index finger twitch. He quickly changed his shoes, walked to the dining table, and saw Uno who brought the last dish to the table.
"Since when did you have this skill?" Sitting on a chair excitedly, Lin Xi said, looking at the table of shiny meals.
Uno just sat on the chair, when he heard Lin Xi's words, his whole body froze. He quietly moved the dish covered with a porcelain lid at the end of the table a few times, and then changed the subject in a low voice: "I was with Shu Shan today, how is the conversation going?"
"I've said everything that needs to be said, but... Although Shu Shan's body is not strong enough, she still has a lot of strength." Lin Xi said with lingering fear, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of rosy sweet and sour pork ribs.
Upon hearing this, Uno curled his thin lips slightly, and said, "Did he beat you?"
"Hmm." As if he didn't want to bring up such a "shameful" thing, Lin Xi's gaze swept over the dazzling array of dishes on the table, and suddenly stopped on the plate with the porcelain lid turned upside down. He stretched out his hand to lift the lid, and asked, "What is this, why don't you open it?"
Uno was startled when he saw this, and just wanted to stop the young man's movement, but it was too late.
As soon as Lin Xi lifted the cover, a sticky smell came out, like bricks and stones that had been scorched for many years dug out from the pot, pieces as hard as stones and as black as coals filled Lin Xi. eyeballs.
He suddenly opened his eyes wide, and looked up at Uno in surprise. I saw the latter indifferently and calmly drooping his dark eyes, and solemnly picked up a vegetable and put it into Lin Xi's bowl. Ignoring the burnt smell that filled the entire restaurant, Uno calmed down as if nothing had happened.
"..."
After being silent for a while, Lin Xi picked up a piece of black charcoal without any hesitation, and put it in his mouth. Before Uno could react, he smiled and said, "Although the appearance is terrible, but it tastes... the taste is still good. It's ok." The sound of crunching and chewing sounded in the quiet restaurant, which seemed a little funny.
Lin Xi didn't care at all.
Uno's deep eyes fixed on the young man who was talking and laughing in front of him for a long time, and finally sighed softly. He stretched out his hand and picked up a piece of black charred meat, and said: "The post-editing at Steven's has come to an end these days, and we are ready for CG processing."
After swallowing the "stone" with difficulty, Lin Xi asked in surprise, "So fast?"
Uno nodded slightly: "Yes. Steven has to rush to apply for the Golden Edge Award, and has to be released in front of him."
After hearing this, Lin Xi nodded clearly. He lowered his head slightly, the hair that had grown to the peak of his eyebrows blocked the look in his eyes. The well-shaped lips were slightly pursed, and with a disappointed expression, Lin Xi sighed softly: "This year, there is still no work from Tian x Dynasty that won the Golden Edge Award."
As one of the top film awards in the world, the Golden Edge Award is a sacred place in the hearts of every actor, director and production staff.
In recent decades, China's entertainment industry has developed rapidly. Decades of time have allowed these young people with huge dreams to become seniors, but all of them are still one step away from the paradise of their dreams, waiting for the latecomers to continue to move forward and expand.
In the history of the Golden Edge Awards, there has never been a queen who is born in China, and the only best actor is Uno. But it was Uno who officially joined the Tian x Dynasty four years ago. Strictly speaking, he could not be regarded as a Tian x dynasty person when he won the award.
Uno thought for a moment, and said, "Next year, "Chaconn" should be shortlisted."
Lin Xi was taken aback when he heard this: "You mean Raymond's best director? That's right. There was no work released in the past ten years. I'm afraid it will be directed at Raymond's name next year. There will be many people looking forward to it."
Raymond returned to China decades ago, and he can be regarded as the most outstanding film director in China.
Upon hearing this, Uno raised his eyes and remained silent.
"However, with "X Storm", you should also be shortlisted for the Golden Edge Award for Best Actor this year." Smiling, Lin Xi put the chopsticks in his hand on the chopstick rest, and said: "Unfortunately, I guess I can't I went to watch it, but don’t worry, I will watch the live broadcast this time.”
Uno shook his head lightly and said, "I think you should be able to go."
Lin Xi was taken aback, and subconsciously asked: "I'm going? In what name? The nominee's family?" As soon as the words came out, even he himself was stunned. Two blushes instantly appeared on her fair cheeks. Lin Xi coughed twice in embarrassment, quickly lowered her head and picked up the chopsticks, and said again and again: "Okay, okay! Eat, eat, don't talk. Eat quickly!"
However, no matter how hard he tried to hide it, the pink blush on his delicate face could never be concealed.
The dark pupils reflected the young man bowing his head to Hesse, Uno smiled lowly and hooked his lips. He picked up some crystal shrimps and put them into Lin Xi's bowl, looking at the back of his head facing him, he really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
But that question, he never answered.
In what name
There are still a few months left for the Golden Edge Award, and he is not in a hurry.
