An Yeyun, who was standing off the stage, was a little stunned, as if he didn't know where this scene came from. Then, he saw the boy in the picture talking on the phone, smiling and saying a few words:
"So what if An Yelin is the biological young master of the An family? I've lived here for eighteen years, and I won't give up the wealthy life that belongs to me - he was taken away by mistake? It's just his bad luck."
"I plan to invite him to the birthday party. So that he can see who is the outsider in this house. His birthday is on three days ago? It's not impossible to celebrate for him and take advantage of my birthday party. I will remember to wish him a happy birthday on three days ago at the end of my speech, hahaha..."
The person in charge of projection was in a panic, but he couldn't turn off the screen no matter what he did. The audience was shocked by this self-righteous act of usurping the throne.
At this moment, the boy on the screen suddenly smiled at the audience. He looked at the crowd eagerly, as if he was looking for someone... When he saw a certain place, he smiled happily, and then when he saw another person, his face suddenly turned horrified.
The screen went black.
"It's not good to think about it. It's just a small episode, a small episode..." The host wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Let's start again..."
An Yeyun looked at himself on the screen with a pale face. Those words were indeed said by him, and that face was indeed his, but...
"That... That's not me! That's not me!"
He screamed and ran out of the hall. The crowd remained in a dead silence. Even An Yelin, who was standing on the railing on the second floor, was shocked.
"What on earth is that..."
"It's all over." Yi Wan patted his shoulder, "Let's go, I'm going to the bathroom. We'll go back to the company later."
Yi Wan went back to the bathroom to wash his hands. His shadow trembled in the mirror, and soon returned to its original appearance. When he was about to turn off the faucet, he heard a voice from behind: "Long time no see, Yi Wan."
Yi Wan saw Yu Rongshi's face in the mirror. Yu Rongshi had just come out of the toilet and smiled at him.
"…Teacher Yu." Yi Wan rarely showed a panicked look, but it was only for a very short moment. Soon, he returned to normal and said, "I didn't expect you to be here. The orchids have been growing well recently."
"The banquet tonight was very lively." Yu Rongshi said while washing his hands, "You sang very well, too."
Yi Wan was silent for a moment, then said, "... Yeah."
The fingers that were holding the faucet turned slightly pale. But soon, Yu Rongshi smiled again, looking at him gently: "This can be regarded as evil pays off, isn't it? An Yeyun just exposed his true face to the public, that's all."
Yi Wan's fingers finally loosened.
"Yeah, what a coincidence." He said calmly, "Teacher Yu, I'm leaving first. My teammates are waiting for me."
He left the toilet, leaving Yu Rongshi alone in the toilet. Yu Rongshi's expression remained unchanged, and he walked over to turn off the faucet for Yi Wan naturally.
Yi Wan didn't turn off the tap, and water dripped as he left. Given his quiet and careful personality, the fact that he forgot to turn off the tap certainly showed his emotions.
—When he met Yu Rong just now and mentioned the problem at the banquet, he was a little flustered.
Like a cat hiding behind a curtain, not wanting to show its tail.
…
Chi Jixia played outside for a day. After returning to the dormitory, he opened the door a crack and sneaked a peek into the living room.
Yi Wan was not in the living room. It seemed that he was at the banquet with An Yelin. Chi Jixia inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
He ran back to his bed and slumped over to check Weibo, and by the way, he found that Director Yang had posted a circle of friends saying that he had found his favorite male lead actress. Chi Jixia casually gave a like, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt suffocated.
"When will it be my turn to hide from Yi Wan?!" he thought.
Ever since the wilderness survival accident, Chi Jixia didn't dare to use the cheat code in Yi Wan's presence, and only used it secretly last night. Especially when he saw Ding Biehan also behaved strangely, he seemed to have a vague fear of him... But with the next filming approaching, Chi Jixia thought about the logic in his mind and suddenly felt that his fear was very ridiculous.
First of all, Yi Wan didn't really do anything unusual, right? He was lucky to join this group. He also gave Yi Wan the golden finger for surviving in the wild.
Yi Wan certainly shined in the show. However, after returning, he just watered the flowers and practiced. Even when it came to singing and dancing, changing lyrics and music, his response was just mediocre.
"He just has a good learning ability. Besides, I have erased his memory. If he found out that I have a golden finger, how could he not test me? I don't believe that anyone would not react to such a good thing." Chi Jixia convinced herself, "He is just an ordinary passerby. As for Ding Biehan's attention to him, it's because Ding Biehan has good feelings for him. Ding Biehan's abnormal reaction of not sleeping well after returning from "Oz" is just because he has some purpose for Yi Wan. He slipped his hand to like the video of him and Yi Wan together."
After thinking about the logic for a while, Chi Jixia's eyes lit up.
"I'm so smart! If it weren't for the golden finger I gave him, what expertise would Yi Wan have?" Chi Jixia slapped his thigh and at this moment received a call from Brother Liu.
"Jixia, are you in the dormitory? Get ready to unload your luggage, as you will be joining the crew for additional filming next week." Brother Liu said.
"Reshoot? Did they find someone for that supporting role so quickly?" Chi Jixia asked.
Brother Liu: "Yes, this person happens to be Yi Wan. Director Yang called to ask personally. Yi Wan happened to have no other work recently, so it's settled. We'll go record the song tomorrow, and you guys can join the crew for additional filming the next day."
Chi Jixia: …
Chi Jixia: … …
After hanging up the phone, Chi Jixia felt a sense of unreality. He really didn't understand how Yi Wan got this role.
Did Brother Liu help him get some connections? But Director Yang is not someone that can be fooled so easily.
He sent a message to Director Yang, but the other party seemed to be busy and did not reply. Chi Jixia was puzzled and simply put down his phone.
On the other side, Brother Liu was also puzzled by Director Yang's sudden invitation. He pondered for a long time and flipped through Yi Wan's resume. There was no information in any of Yi Wan's paper materials that said he was good at opera.
Finally, he thought for a while and called Ding Biehan.
At this moment, Ding Biehan was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling with his eyes open with dark circles.
He is thinking.
He was thinking about Yi Wan's plan.
"With Yi Wan's ability, it's impossible for him to be unable to kill the Painted Skin Ghost in such a short time." He thought, "He must have a plan. Could his plan be..."
At this moment, he received a call from Brother Liu.
Brother Liu said, "Bie Han, what's wrong with you recently? I saw you looked a little unhappy when I came back from the variety show."
“…Nothing.” Ding Biehan hesitated and finally said absentmindedly.
"Oh... By the way, how is your relationship with Yi Wan?" Brother Liu asked, intending to inquire about Yi Wan's news from Ding Biehan.
Ding Biehan: “… Not familiar!!”
"Why are you so excited?" Brother Liu asked in confusion, "By the way, let me ask you a question. Yi Wan told you that he has any special skills in opera?"
"?" Ding Biehan was a little confused, "What?"
Brother Liu: "Director Yang suddenly asked him to play a role. Look at the trending searches."
Ding Biehan opened Weibo and found two trending searches lying side by side on Weibo.
The first one is #光光科技#.
This Weibo post was ranked at the top. After all, the wealthy family was a wealthy family, and the speed of it becoming a hot search was very fast. The second hot search was ranked at the top.
#Chorus "Drunk Peony"#
The first thing that was trending was a video. The video was blurry, but fans could tell who was singing in it at a glance.
Aren't these An Yelin and Yi Wan?
"Who the hell are these two little brothers?! They are too strong!!"
"The one on the left is An Yelin, right?"
"The one on the right... the more I look at it, the more it looks like Mushroom?"
"Holy crap, Mushroom Master can actually sing!!"
Fans who were attracted from the survival show found for the first time that their idol had another side besides catching fish, and they reposted the video to express their shock. Some fans even gave the highest evaluation, "He is completely different from the one in the show."
At this moment, Ding Biehan fell into a long silence.
Possessing the Yin-Yang eyes, he can see things that ordinary people cannot see. He can also see Yi Wan standing in his shadow while he is singing, trying his best to guide the performance of Painted Skin Ghost.
At that moment, Ding Biehan finally understood!
"… It turns out that he had planned this from the very beginning." Ding Biehan murmured, "Even this matter is exactly what he wanted?"
Brother Liu: “What?”
Ding Biehan: “Nothing.”
Ding Biehan hung up the phone.
He walked out of the room and saw Yi Wan wearing a pair of plastic gloves tending to the flowers and plants. The scene was unusually peaceful. An Yelin was absent-mindedly playing with his phone. Chi Jixia was watching a video and occasionally glanced at Yi Wan. Bo Jiang was reading a book.
With the plastic gloves blocking it, Guilan could no longer bite the Painted Skin Ghost in Yi Wan's shadow, and could only wave its branches in vain and anger. Chi Jixia raised her head and said, "The wind seems to be a bit strong today."
Ding Biehan: …
He looked at his three roommates who were in no danger, and felt a sense of desolation that only he knew the truth of. He closed the door and felt the deep cold again.
That night, Yi Wan left the orchid on the balcony and did not bring it indoors. Before going to bed, Chi Jixia asked him, "Yi Wan, can you really play that role?"
Yi Wan looked back at him. Chi Jixia raised an eyebrow at him and said seriously, "Let me tell you first, Director Yang's requirements are very strict. If you don't meet his requirements, be careful to be scolded. I suggest you prepare well these few days."
"I will." Yi Wan nodded.
"How do you plan to prepare?" Chi Jixia asked while wondering whether he should use a cheat code to help Yi Wan this time.
When Yi Wan keeps doing NG, the one who will suffer is him who is acting opposite him!
Yi Wan smiled and didn't answer.
Chi Jixia fell asleep with worry. Even he himself didn't understand why he was worried about Yi Wan. Beneath him, Yi Wan also closed her eyes calmly.
Until the shadow enveloped him.
The moonlight was like water, and in his dream, Yi Wan came to the shabby stage under the hazy moonlight again.
The peaceful expression during the day seemed to have been washed away from his face. At this moment, Yi Wan looked indifferent and expressionless. His eyes were dark, just like the day when he looked up at the sky in Chi Jixia's dream and said the three words "Chi Jixia".
It was the same expression he had when he received second place in competitions time and time again, long ago.
This time he did not find a place to sleep, nor did he continue to sleep as if he had seen nothing.
"Now you can teach me," he said.
The heavily made-up actress waved her sleeves and sang softly in front of him. Yi Wan did not approach her, but used his eyes to take in everything she did and remember it in his heart.
He repeated this process over and over in his mind, singing softly in response.
…
The next morning, the five of them took a car and headed to the recording studio.
