The camera perfectly captured An Yelin and Ding Biehan sitting up at the same time, with similar expressions on their faces.
Cold, yet anxious and flustered.
"What's in the envelope? Why are both brothers so nervous?"
"Is there a piece of paper inside? Is it a letter or something like that? But why doesn't it say the recipient?"
“… I’m a little scared that the house is about to collapse. It can’t be my sister-in-law. I hope I’m just overthinking it.”
"Whose sister-in-law uses a black envelope? It's almost the same as a sasaeng fan."
"… Speaking of which, I remember that Chi Jixia and Yi Wan met a sasaeng fan when they were filming! The one who sneaked into the hotel!"
Yu Qichen, who was far away in the office, sneezed. He held the hot water bottle and sighed silently.
The explosive news that happened a week ago once again flooded into everyone's mind. After the incident, although the company quickly found someone to remove the trending search and blocked the news, the horrified fans still flocked to the official blog of AT and scolded AT for its inaction.
And till now, the mysterious sasaeng fan has not been found and detained... The speculation about the "sasaeng fan" in the black envelope has made fans even more scared.
"Damn, there won't be some kind of curse in there, right?"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I have used my divine powers to calculate the names of five people, and they are basically all very auspicious!"
The fans who were dozing off suddenly stood up. The comments were filled with speculation and worry. Ding Biehan and An Yelin looked at each other, neither of them retracting their hands that they had extended to the staff.
The atmosphere was tense for a moment. The staff member smiled awkwardly and said, "How about this, who of you takes it first and opens it to have a look? If it's yours, keep it. If it's someone else's, give it to that person."
"I'll go first."
An Yelin and Ding Biehan were like two cats with their fur standing on end, neither of them willing to give in. The atmosphere was extremely strange for a moment. The photographer noticed something was wrong and quietly turned the camera to Chi Jixia, who was sitting on the ground next to them and looked like she was still half asleep.
Out of the camera's reach, Ding Biehan glanced at An Yelin indifferently: "This is for your own good."
He absolutely did not want An Yelin to discover his secret, and he did not want An Yelin to enter the infinite flow game out of curiosity or accident, thus adding another infinite flow player to the team.
... He also doesn't want someone to compete with him for the toilet when he receives a notification to enter a dungeon.
After all, there are two people in the boy band who always go to the bathroom together again and again... It's also weird.
—It will definitely be used by CP fans to create the "Sun in Begonia" series.
The thought that suddenly came to his mind was actually spoken by Yi Wan in a calm and sarcastic tone. Ding Biehan couldn't help but shudder. He glanced at Yi Wan, who was sitting on the sofa, looking down at his phone.
… Just like a 996 worker who doesn’t want to go to work.
… Get out of my mind. Ding Biehan drove Yi Wan's voice out of his mind expressionlessly.
"Let me see first." An Yelin refused to give in.
Neither of them was willing to give in. The staff member was sweating. He couldn't figure out how, in such a boy band, who could break an ordinary black envelope and turn it into a matter of life and death.
"How about..." he suggested tremblingly, "Let someone else take it down? For example, Bo Jiang..."
Bo Jiang finally raised his eyes from the paper. He looked at the people with his phoenix eyes: "Hmm?"
An Yelin: …
Ding Biehan: …
"Let..." Ding Biehan suddenly said, "Let Yi Wan take it down."

Staff:
audience:
The camera turned to Yi Wan, who was sitting on the floor, playing with his phone like a salted fish. Yi Wan looked up blankly: "?"
Ding Biehan had no idea how much of his secrets Yi Wan already knew, and he suspected that Yi Wan might be a veteran player who had participated in the game before and had hidden himself for some purpose, or even tried to spy on him and use him... In any case, letting Yi Wan open the letter was the most appropriate choice.
An Yelin thought so too.
“… Let Yi Wan take it down.” He said in a hoarse voice.
He didn't know what Fu Qisheng might send him, or what he might take a picture of. Of all the people present, he only trusted Yi Wan.
Everyone in the live broadcast room: ?
"Why is it Yi Wan again?"
"Xiao Bo, you are the captain but you are disliked. This is not okay!"
"No, I'm curious. What could be in the envelope that could make both of them so nervous..."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yi Wan slowly walked between the two of them. He took the thin envelope and opened it...
Then he paused.
"What's inside?" the staff asked curiously.
"Yes..." Yi Wan said, "a few photos..."
An Yelin's face was pale and his eyes were sharp.
"... and an invitation letter." Yi Wan said, "The photos show several scary haunted houses."
The hairs on Ding Biehan's back stood up.
In the eyes of the two people who were extremely nervous, Yi Wan said the last sentence: "… for me and our group."
Ding Biehan:?
…
"The War of Science?!" Chi Jixia said incomprehension.
"Well, the invitation was sent by Brother Bei and Teacher Yu together." Yi Wan said, "It looks like a large-scale near-science reality show."
The event is hosted by the country, and Brother Bei is responsible for leading the international division.
He flipped through the invitation letter and read out the content: "There are seven episodes in total, which will be filmed in seven well-known haunted houses in seven places around the world. In addition to us, the invited participants include several celebrities and several flying guest psychics from Japan, the United States, South Korea, Russia and other countries..."
"Invite a psychic? The other people invited by the program team are obviously psychics, why did they invite us... a boy band?" Chi Jixia didn't understand.
Yi Wan said slowly: "Because other psychics are also idols in their own countries, such as this Japanese Onmyoji... In recent years, it seems that people who are good at metaphysics tend to enter the entertainment industry."
Very global.
Chi Jixia: …
"The purpose of this program is to make the audience believe in the power of science while watching an exciting reality show." Yi Wan finished reading the last sentence, "I've finished reading."
Yu Rongshi sent him another new activity.
"This is simply nonsense." Ding Biehan said coldly.
The haunted house in the seven photos has a spooky atmosphere without a close look. Is it a metaphysical battle or a "scientific battle"
Ding Biehan found it very funny.
How can science exist in a haunted house
Chi Jixia thought of the Painted Skin Ghost and glanced at Yi Wan, whom he suspected was the mastermind behind releasing the ghost.
Yi Wan looked at the photo with a calm expression.
Inexplicably, Chi Jixia felt that this variety show should be called "The Temptation of Home" for Yi Wan...
Bo Jiang had no interest in variety shows. He had a variety show on cultural relic appraisal that had been postponed due to an accident. But after looking at one of the seven photos, he paused.
The background of that photo... turned out to be the ruins of the ancient city wall of the Zhou Dynasty!
"I'm very interested," he said.
An Yelin: "Me too."
He just wanted to escape from the city he was currently in with a reasonable excuse.
An Yelin pulled his collar to cover the bruises on his neck.
The matter was thus finalized. Brother Liu was worried about the promotion of his album before its release, so he accepted the invitation and began to discuss the schedule of the reality show with the company's program organizer.
Although the three words "Yu Rongshi" gave him a bad feeling again.
Brother Liu had the same feeling as Yi Wan, who was about to fall into a trap. Fortunately, Yu Rongshi invited the entire group.
… With Ding Biehan here, he will definitely protect Yi Wan, Brother Liu thought with relief.
Compared to the group members, the fans in the live broadcast room were more surprised. This sudden invitation made everyone stunned and confused for a while.
"?? Yu Rongshi sent it to Yi Wan?? When did they become so familiar with each other?"
"Help me, didn't Yu Rongshi spend one million to buy Bo Jiang's calligraphy a few days ago? I thought another standard love story in the entertainment industry was about to begin..."
"It's to avoid suspicion, it's to avoid suspicion. The Taro people will never admit defeat."
"I was discussing iris5's first album with my sisters before... 'This is the first one, and it will be a heartfelt one. We believe this is just the beginning of iris5. After that, they will go beyond China and go to the world, from an album to a global tour'..."
"Advanced science, global linkage. Damn, the little group that just bought shares a month ago is going to go global!"
"A global haunted house tour concert? hhh"
The lively live broadcast ended at ten o'clock in the evening. An Yelin had taken a two-hour nap before that, and ultimately failed to finish writing the five brisk choral pop songs. He threw the last ball of paper to the ground in annoyance, and heard the voice of the staff again.
"The live broadcast is over... someone sent something else." The staff member said, "It's for An Yelin."
The other four looked up.
"The name of the inscriber is Fu," the staff member said, "This is a bouquet of flowers from him for you."
It was a bunch of fragrant white roses, with dew on the petals. Chi Jixia whistled and asked, "Your suitor?"
An Yelin ignored him.
"Thanks."
He put on his backpack, maintained his courtesy to the staff, took the bouquet of white roses from their hands, and turned to walk out of the practice room. Chi Jixia sat on the ground, looked up at his back, and said to himself: "Why do you look so bitter and resentful..."
Then he saw Yi Wan following him out.
An Yelin walked quickly. The AT building was also brightly lit at night. Everyone was trying to escape their own fate, and every window was filled with trainees and managers working all night.
Everyone is striving for a bright future.
It's really dazzling.
He walked around the office for a long time before he finally found a corner that was not illuminated by the bright lights. He held the big bunch of white roses in his hands, put them down again, and finally stuffed them into the trash can.
The only thing left was a photo of it being sandwiched in a bouquet, which was not noticed by the staff.
In the photo, he is leaning on the bed and has fallen asleep, his cheeks are flushed. There are ambiguous marks on his fair neck. Anyone who sees this photo can judge from the background that the person in the photo is in someone's home.
If you dig deeper, you will find a table lamp designed by an independent designer, the only one of its kind in the world, and the name of its owner.
This is indeed the case.
An Yelin lowered his eyes and looked at the photo quietly. He wanted to tear it into pieces, but in the end he just crumpled it into a ball.
After experiencing the frustration of his past and present lives, he only had hatred for Mr. Fang. Therefore, he could watch him faint in the toilet without any emotion. He could also ignore the rumor that Mr. Fang claimed to have seen ghosts in the An family as if it were a joke.
He didn't just hate President Fu.
And he never thought that Mr. Fu was also reborn.
… He even brought with him the contract that An Yelin had signed with him in his previous life when he was forced into a desperate situation by the An family, in exchange for a 5 million yuan termination fee, to be his shield boyfriend for ten years.
An Yelin couldn't explain how he felt after seeing the contract. He originally thought that he was the only one who got a chance to be reborn, and Fu Qisheng also came. Fate seemed to have given Fu Qisheng more tolerance, so that he brought the contract that had not yet expired.
Black and white, fingerprint signature, it's clear. It's like fate is on the side of Mr. Fu who has also been reborn. It provides Mr. Fu with a regretful contract and more golden fingers for An Yelin. It's like it's trying its best to push An Yelin into a story line that people like to hear and see.
Double rebirth, chasing the wife to the crematorium, and reconciling simply, everyone is happy.
Raindrops were falling. An Yelin lowered his head and stared at the crumpled photo. Suddenly, he felt that the young man in the photo was his true love. Young, beautiful, with rosy cheeks, like a clean sheet of white paper.
He hadn't experienced alcoholism, he hadn't experienced betrayal. It was as if everything could start over again like this.
"Fu Qisheng can take such a photo, which shows that he loves you." He heard a voice in his ear in a trance, "Love is in the eyes of the beholder. Although you died in your previous life, didn't he come to sacrifice for you? He is the top and you are the bottom. Since it is a top-bottom relationship, it can almost end with the top abusing the top. Look, how good you are in his eyes..."
The voice was soft and nagging, like an invisible hand, trying to urge his thoughts to change.
Until he heard Yi Wan's voice.
"Yelin? Don't you have an umbrella?"
An Yelin shuddered. In a trance, he felt like he had woken up from a dream.
He began to feel cold and wet. This feeling was no longer a fantasy or delusion from his inner emotions, but an objective fact from the outside world acting on his body.
It's raining.
The rain fell on him and also on his life. An Yelin was "smashed" into reality by this subtle impact.
"Let's go." The young man holding an umbrella stood in front of him and tilted his head and said, "I just happened to pass by here, shall we go together?"
"… Um."
Yi Wan's umbrella was big enough to fit two people. They walked on the flooded road in summer, and the splashing water wet An Yelin's trouser legs. An Yelin smiled bitterly and said, "These shoes are going to be covered with mud again..."
"It can be washed off." Yi Wan said.
“What if it can’t be washed off?”
"… That means it has no use in the subsequent plot. You can change to another pair." Yi Wan said, "Useful shoes can definitely be washed clean."
An Yelin couldn't help laughing again. Whether in the past life or in this life, Yi Wan always spoke with a weird sense of humor and special seriousness. This feeling made him feel familiar and made him feel that he was living in a weird world.
He did not mention the bouquet of white roses that he threw into the trash can, and Yi Wan did not mention it either. The two of them just sat there quietly, not saying anything.
"Thank you." An Yelin suddenly said as they got into the elevator.
"You're welcome." Yi Wan said, "We are a team. At least before paying off the mortgage, we have to work hard together."
As he spoke, he held out his fist with a serious expression. An Yelin looked at his gesture and finally couldn't help laughing, and also touched him lightly with his fist.
When they arrived at the dormitory, Ding Biehan had already fallen asleep. Bo Jiang went to her room alone to read after the business was over. Only Chi Jixia stayed in the living room, drinking hot water and playing with his phone. He turned on the TV casually, and a mediation program was playing.
Chi Jixia doesn't actually watch TV. He needs a lively environment. The voices around him are like an anchor point, which makes him realize that he lives in this world.
Instead of traveling to other places in the identity of someone else.
"Hey." Seeing the two people coming over, he even stretched out his hand to greet them, his voice lazy and joking, "Are you out shopping in the rain?"
An Yelin didn't bother to pay attention to him. He packed his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Chi Jixia was frustrated, but he was not angry. He whistled and continued watching TV.
But he saw Yi Wan sitting next to him. He was looking at the screen with a serious expression, as if he was thinking about something.
His rare serious expression attracted Chi Jixia's attention.
Chi Jixia quietly took off one of the earphones on his ear. On the surface, he was playing games. But his eyes had already followed Yi Wan to the show he was watching...
Golden Medal Mediation in progress
Chi Jixia:
Yi Wan likes to watch this show of quarrels among various aunts and uncles
Chi Jixia had always scoffed at this show. But since Yi Wan was watching, he followed him and watched the show. Today, a gay "couple" entered the live broadcast room to be mediated. The so-called "couple" was put in quotation marks because they were a contracted couple.
Chi Jixia spent the precious five minutes of her acting talent to understand this emotional story of the rule of law online.
The story is very simple. Let's call this couple ba. B likes c, but c doesn't like b. So after c went abroad to study for a doctorate, b kept a woman named a who looks like c. The two signed a keeping contract. The contract ends when c finishes his studies and returns home.
Bai Yueguang returned to the country, and the substitute left the stage. After that, AB parted ways and were happy on their own.
… What a long and clichéd love story. Chi Jixia felt a little sour in her teeth.
However, an unfortunate thing happened: A originally thought that C would only need five years to study for a doctorate abroad, so he readily signed the contract lover contract. However, due to C's limited academic level, his graduation was repeatedly delayed abroad, and now he is in his eighth year of doctoral study. A finally couldn't stand the pain of working overtime for three consecutive years. B, however, had already fallen in love with A, and used the contract deadline "when C goes abroad" on the contract to make a fuss and resolutely opposed A's request to terminate the contract.
The two had a big fight. During the fight, A even discovered that C's delay in graduation was related to B - in order to make A continue to work overtime, B even sent people abroad to secretly influence C to do experiments. The relationship between the two was completely ruined, and even made it to the TV station.
Chi Jixia: …
Several legal experts in the program were talking to each other, studying the legal effect of this contract. Chi Jixia also heard Yi Wan's voice at this time: "... I never thought that this contract would have a certain legal effect."
"Because this matter is too complicated. Keeping a mistress, fake couples, stand-ins, marrying first and falling in love later... For a while, every domineering CEO and movie star would sign such a contract with his or her partner. And those who would sign such a contract would often be involved in large sums of money transactions. It would be 5 million or 10 million a month at any time." Chi Jixia said casually, "So the court has also kept pace with the times and set up many relevant clauses... After all, the incidents are frequent, and the total amount of money involved is getting bigger and bigger..."
Yi Wan: …
"How could this happen?" Yi Wan said.
Chi Jixia felt a little regretful after saying this. He still remembered the grudge that Yi Wan had played on him on the set. Now it seemed as if he was rushing to talk to him.
I absolutely cannot stay up late tonight, Chi Jixia thought.
But he found that Yi Wan became even more silent.
The raindrops were dripping outside. Chi Jixia continued to play with his phone and found that Yi Wan had brought a calculator out of the room again. He was checking something on his phone while pressing many numbers on the calculator to calculate.
Chi Jixia:
"What are you doing?" he finally couldn't help but ask.
"Calculating..."
"Calculate?"
"How much does it cost to buy 51% of the shares of AT firm?" Yi Wan said while biting a pencil, "I feel a strange sense of crisis..."
Chi Jixia:
Yi Wan seemed to be talking to himself: "What do you think? If someone makes a lot of money with his vision of the world and buys our company, will we just let him bully us?"
Chi Jixia:?
Yi Wan: "Generally, in this kind of business war, one would choose to buy 51% of the shares. As long as one owns 51% of the shares, one will have the final victory... Let me do the math."
Chi Jixia was completely confused about what Yi Wan was preparing. Yi Wan's expression was calm after he finished his calculations. He put away his things and washed himself.
Chi Jixia scratched his head, a little confused.
"I always feel that Yi Wan has some bad intentions." He looked at the sky and said to himself.
Chi Jixia turned off the TV and went back to her room. Yi Wan was already lying on the bed next to her. He was wearing a small yellow nightcap, revealing only a pair of dark eyes.
A pair of eyes that I don't know what they are thinking.
"By the way, Brother Chi." Before the lights were turned off, Chi Jixia heard Yi Wan's voice, "If a person is unhappy..."
Chi Jixia:
Yi Wan: "If he dreams and becomes another happy person in his dream, will he feel happier when he wakes up?"
