The atmosphere in the room was tense for a moment. Yu Rong saw a huge question mark on Yi Wan's face.
When he looked at Yu Rong, he looked at the T-shirt again.
“This is not me…” Yu Rongshi remained silent.
Yi Wan: "Well, this is mine."
Yu Rongshi: …
The hot water in my hands suddenly became heavy—even reflecting the mood of the person at that time.
"Yi Wan!" Brother Liu's voice came from the door, "Chi Jixia is out, it's your turn—"
"... Mr. Yu, I can... go to the charity auction as you said before. You helped me before, so I'll just consider it as a favor." Yi Wan got up from the bed, his voice a little erratic, "But my agent called me, so I... left first."
Yu Rongshi: …
Brother Liu stood at the door. He was waiting for Yi Wan to come out of Yu Rongshi's room, but his eyes accidentally glanced at Yu Rongshi's bed.
There was a wrinkled T-shirt lying on the bed.
A T-shirt that looks familiar...
Brother Liu's expression changed at this moment. Behind him came the voices of Ding Biehan and Chi Jixia talking.
Ding Biehan: "Did you lose anything? This empty hanger..."
Chi Jixia: "Mine is not lost. It seems that Yi Wan's clothes are missing, the yellow one he wore two days ago..."
Brother Liu took Yi Wan away, and showed an expression that looked like he was struck by lightning, which no one could see.
The entertainment industry is really too dark! ! He thought.
…
It took a total of half an hour to take the statement from the police. When Yi Wan came out of the room, he heard Brother Liu calling someone in the corridor to suppress the trending search, his face full of absent-mindedness.
“…Yes, suppress it, suppress it all. This matter can’t be made too big…” When Yi Wan walked by, Brother Liu stopped talking.
He looked at him, his eyes were tangled, and finally said: "Yi Wan."
Yi Wan: “Yeah.”
"... In this circle, there is not much darkness or temptation." Brother Liu finally said, "You should stay close to Chi Jixia these days and don't run around alone, okay?"
Yi Wan nodded. Brother Liu looked at Ding Biehan who knew nothing beside him, and felt that Ding Biehan was jealous and he was worried.
Yi Wan returned to his room. The closet in the room was wide open, but fortunately all the clothes were hung on hangers and were spared from being stepped on. Yi Wan looked at the inside of the closet in silence, and Chi Jixia sat beside him and said in a daze: "I really didn't expect this to happen..."
"... I really didn't expect this." Yi Wan murmured, his expression more confused and erratic than usual, "... Why is this happening?"
Chi Jixia obviously didn't notice the abnormality of his teammate. He checked his Weibo and found that #iris5 私生饭# had become a trending search. Countless fans were loudly denouncing the hotel's poor security. He leaned back on the sofa and said with some relief: "It's good that she's not a woman..."
"Why isn't it better not be a woman?" Yi Wan said.
"If it's a woman, some people would think she's a love interest." Chi Jixia said.
Yi Wan, with his back to him, became even more silent. After a long time, he silently closed the wardrobe and lay down on the bed.
The sasaeng fan incident brought huge attention to the crew of "Sorrow of the Sky". Various speculations and discussions were rampant. When Yi Wan went to shoot the next day, there was a whole security team on the set.
"Don't judge me like this, I'm actually a second-generation rich man." Director Yang pushed up his glasses and said, "Clean up the set today! Don't let any suspicious people in!"
As he spoke, he patted Yi Wan with great enthusiasm and said, "Don't worry, I'm here, that pervert Stoka can't touch you at all... Brother Yu, why do you look so weird?"
Yu Rongshi, who was sitting next to him, said: "...Nothing."
Yu Rongshi had never felt so anxious before.
He became famous at a young age, and indeed had a youthful and frivolous period. However, in recent years, as he has grown older, he has quietly withdrawn from the industry, basically self-disciplined and returned to the right path, and is now calmly performing.
He never thought that he would become a pervert in the eyes of others. Yu Rongshi had never felt so eager to explain something.
But every time he looked at Yi Wan, Yi Wan was in a trance and refused to meet his eyes even once.
"Okay, today's scene has a lot of tension! Both of you should work hard!" Director Yang said, "Just maintain your performance from yesterday!"
… For the first time, the invincible Yu Rongshi felt a lot of pressure.
Director Yang suddenly added this scene today. Perhaps because of the two people's performance yesterday, he suddenly had the idea and asked the screenwriter to stay up late to add the two people's first acquaintance. At this moment, he held the camera and pointed it at the long street used for filming.
This temporary added scene is about Ji Chongming and the Ghost King recalling their first encounter. It was originally released as a novel extra, but was abandoned during the adaptation due to too many side plots. Ji Chongming got sick when he was a teenager and was kicked out of the troupe by the troupe owner. He had a face full of acne scars, and everyone was afraid of him like a snake and scorpion. He didn't find food for three days. Finally, he sat in a dilapidated temple, staring at the hungry eyes and dazed.
He wants to find something to eat.
Finding food to eat requires money.
To get the money, you need someone willing to buy him.
But what can he sell it for now, and what price can people afford
The snow was falling heavily, and the wind chimes were humming. From the conversation between the two desperadoes, the young man heard that there was a Shuyi Pavilion nearby. There was a Zhongshi in Shuyi Pavilion. Zhongshi was in the business of buying and selling human lives. The latest business was to assassinate a member of the royal family. Killing a member of the royal family was a serious crime that would punish all nine generations of the family, and no one dared to do it.
The young man was not afraid of the crime of killing his entire clan. He was the only one left in his family. He was just hungry, so hungry that it felt like the joints between his bones were burning. When the joints between his bones are burning, people are willing to do anything, even to die.
He scooped up a few mouthfuls of snow and stuffed them into his mouth. The heartburning hunger was lessened a little. The boy stumbled and stumbled in the snow. He wanted to take advantage of this moment of relief to run to Shuyi Pavilion and sell his life.
Selling one steamed bun is enough to buy two meals. Dreams are nothing in the face of hunger. The boy doesn't know how long he can walk, he can't keep walking. Either he sells his life in time, or he dies in the alley.
He didn't know that Shuyi Pavilion was originally one of the forces under the Ghost King.
He finally fainted in front of the building. It was snowing lightly at the time, and the Ghost King was sitting in the Shuyi Loft, watching a young man lying in the snow, about to be buried by the snow.
His face was full of pits and pits, and he looked unwell. The Ghost King was holding a crimson oil-paper umbrella with white plum blossoms painted on it.
"He's a half-ghost." His subordinates said, "I think he was created by a human drama troupe in the past. I've seen him before. He was quite famous, but I didn't expect him to be framed and fall into this state."
"Yeah." The Ghost King said lightly.
He was not interested in the human actors, but he took the jade pendants from his waist that belonged to the previous ghost king's two children.
He suddenly had a brilliant idea.
When the young man opened his eyes again, he was already in a warm room. A handsome young man in a green shirt saved him. The young man was flipping through a book and claimed to be a scholar doing business at a book and painting stall. The scholar saw that he was unconscious, so he saved him.
"Are you going to Shuyi Pavilion to work? That's not a very good place."
“…That’s not a very good place, but I’m hungry.” The boy said dryly.
"Those who go in there and risk their lives are all desperate criminals."
“… But I’m hungry.” the boy said again.
The young man in green shirt was silent, then he smiled. He ordered someone to prepare some buns and brought them up, saying, "I've seen you in the theater before."
He grabbed the bun and handed it to the boy. The boy started eating it from his hand, gobbling it up. The young man in green shirt said again: "I've heard your play."
The boy paused.
"Your life is not something so cheap. It shouldn't have been sold so early."
—He naturally wants to sell his life to a more suitable occasion, cultivate it a little, and wait for the price to rise.
The boy ate even harder, swallowing the food in big mouthfuls, tears falling from his eyes.
The Ghost King looked at him, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
Such an embarrassed and ordinary human being.
It wasn't that difficult to film this scene, especially for Yi Wan and Yu Rongshi. But Yu Rongshi didn't expect that when he sat down beside the couch...
Yi Wan secretly shrank to the back of the couch.
Yu Rongshi: …
It's a terrible feeling to be considered a pervert.
Yu Rongshi didn't mind being considered a pervert. On the contrary, from his teenage years till now, he always felt that being feared for no reason was frustrating, but also quite interesting. But being considered a pervert in another sense made people feel a little...
… It’s okay, Yu Rongshi told himself. It was just a normal acting exchange.
Thinking of this, he handed the bun to Yi Wan. Yi Wan looked up at him, lowered his head and took a bite of the bun, being careful not to let his teeth touch Yu Rongshi's palm.
Yu Rongshi: …
The awful feeling of being treated as a pervert continued. After the filming, Director Yang heard that the two were going to the auction together, and when he approved their leave, he also reminded them: "Be careful not to get entangled by the illegitimate fans again."
Yu Rongshi's smile froze slightly, and Yi Wan silently turned his eyes to the other side.
The strange atmosphere did not end until the two got into the same car. Yu Rongshi could not deny that he took Yi Wan to the auction, not only to stop Qin Xuexin from hyping up the couple, but also because he was curious about Yi Wan. But now Yi Wan was sitting in the car, playing with his phone, and trying to minimize his presence, which made him very anxious.
Yu Rongshi cleared his throat and was about to explain, but then he saw something in the rearview mirror...
The black Audi belonging to Yu Qichen.
Yu Rongshi: …
At this time, Brother Liu was also talking to Chi Jixia.
"Is Yi Wan here... not here? Is he out at an auction? With whom?"
After hearing Chi Jixia say that name, Brother Liu was shocked.
The most important thing for a domestic boy band is a healthy and positive image. At that moment, Brother Liu seemed to be entangled in endless darkness like Yi Wan. He didn't have time to send a text message to Ding Biehan, so he hurriedly called the driver and decided to rush to the auction site...
Wait, the Bo family
Brother Liu paused and quickly dialed another number. A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Liu? What's the matter?"
"Is your house holding an auction today?"
The voice on the other end of the phone paused, then said, "It's the auction house of the old family. I'm from a branch family, but I was also invited."
"That's great. I'll give you a task." Brother Liu was anxious. "This concerns the future of our group!"
