Introduction: Wearing a mask to tease, taking off the mask to love.

CP: Wen Yan X Gu Jiaran

"So, Mr. Wen, do you want to think about it?"

This is outside the restroom of a high-end club. The speaker had just washed his hands and hadn't had time to dry them. The water droplets slid down his white wrists, past the phalanges, to the fingertips, and finally fell to the ground.His tone was a bit flat, as if he was not discussing a transaction, but something as usual as going to the supermarket to buy things.

At this time Wen Yan was leaning sideways against the wall with a cigarette in his right hand.Hearing the other party's words, he glanced at his stretched and straight body with drunken eyes, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

On the fifth day of the company's tailor-made TV series for Xiaohua, the leading actor's scandal caused all work to be stagnated, General Manager Wen of Blue Ocean Media received an invitation, an invitation about cohabitation.

really interesting.

Wen Yan took a puff of cigarette and exhaled slowly. In the dense smoke, he smiled slightly: "Okay."

[-]. Transaction

The little public in the entertainment industry V: A certain company has been a little unlucky recently.The filming of the drama tailor-made for Xiaohua, who is highly praised, is about to start filming. The actor who has been set has an accident. It is estimated that there will be a replacement. I don’t know which hero will take over the drama in the end. 【doubt】

Cat Mom 826: The wonderful couple in the blue ocean?

Miss Orange: Huh?Liang Wenhui's incident is actually true?This drama will not be filmed, I am quite looking forward to it.

The mint-flavored xylitol is too unpalatable: Hahaha, I’m so witty when I turned black two years ago, Mr. Liang’s persona has collapsed【Goodbye】

T Jiang waited for the third season of GJ: I feel that no one has a schedule, let alone those who are a little too aggressive will not pick it up, and Song Xiaoxiao obviously mentioned the shoes...

Smile and smile: My heart hurts and I laugh~

……

Wen Yan closed the computer and said nothing.His fingers tapped on the table lightly, as if he was thinking about something.Ji Xu on the side also felt a little headache seeing him like this.

The Weibo marketing account is right, this matter is really unlucky to say the least.

As one of the top film and television brokerage companies in China, Blue Ocean Media has produced many stars one after another, but young actresses have always been their shortcoming.Last year, it was hard to sign Song Xiaoxiao with good qualifications. The company made a good plan and invested a lot of money to promote it. Not only did she make her debut as the second female lead in a big-budget movie, but also hired a well-known screenwriter to tailor a TV series for her. .At the beginning, he personally went to talk with Liang Wenhui's agent about the TV series, and promised him a film source for this.Fortunately, the other party has such a scandal, and seeing that there is no hope of turning over, it is a trivial matter to terminate the contract, but it is really difficult to change people at this juncture-famous actors are either out of schedule or unwilling to accept; Side and look down on.

It's hard to ride a tiger.

Ji Xu considered whether to postpone the filming of the TV series altogether, and let Song Xiaoxiao keep the heat on the variety show first. Wen Yan over there didn't know if he had guessed his thoughts, and said: "The contract with Liang Wenhui will be terminated, and the TV series will be filmed normally. deal."

Ji Xu quickly ran through the actors he had contacted in his mind, and asked in confusion, "Who?"

Wen Yan raised his head: "Gu Jiaran."

Ji Xu: "..."

Ji Xu: "Did I hear you right?!"

If Liang Wenhui was the male lead candidate that Ji Xu could win for Song Xiaoxiao to score 80 points—with fair acting skills, fair reputation, and fair number of fans—then Gu Jiaran could score 100 points.

There is no other reason, but because Gu Jiaran is considered to be popular, and he has his own popularity - it is said that he is the illegitimate son of the famous film director Fang Yuan and the late actress Gu Anyang.

The reason for "it is said" is that after Gu Anyang passed away, Gu Jiaran returned to the Fang family as Fang Yuan's adopted son.Fang Yuan did not personally admit to the outside world that he was an "illegitimate child", but he did not deny it either.However, within a few years, Fang Yuan's eldest son died suddenly in a car accident, Gu Jiaran also went abroad to study, Fang Yuan even reduced his filming.People in the circle speculated that Gu Jiaran had a quarrel with his half-brother, and it was even more exaggerated that he was present in the car accident and did not save the other party, which caused Fang Yuan to become disheartened and the relationship between father and son broke down.

This was originally just an ordinary romantic gossip, but because the hero and heroine of the story are too well-known, there have been endless posts about this family gossip on various forums: It is said that Fang Yuan single-handedly promoted Gu Anyang back then, and the two fell in love vigorously. After a while, Gu Anyang climbed into someone else's bed and broke up; some said that Fang Yuan and Gu Anyang were scumbags, one cheated in marriage, and the other was willing to be a mistress, a perfect match; Wife and child, the first wife died, the lover died, and the son also died...

What the truth is, people don't really care.What everyone loves is just the grievances and hatreds that have been passed on from word to mouth with countless condiments.It is often said that drama is like life, and life is like drama. People in the entertainment industry are glamorous inside the drama, but life outside the drama seems to be a bit more tortuous and lingering than ordinary people.Just as this family slowly disappeared from sight, Gu Jiaran reappeared in front of the public—as an actor.

The children of big directors and big stars came out to act, and everyone couldn't help but put a lot of attention and expectations in addition to being curious.Especially when Gu Anyang was alive, she was a true acting actress who created countless classic screen roles.I wonder if her son will inherit her talent?And director Fang Yuan is one of the best directors in the circle. In the early years, he could be regarded as a frequent visitor to domestic and foreign film festivals, winning various awards.With such a father, Gu Jiaran is simply sitting on a mountain of resources.Will he personally escort his son?

However, what is quite surprising is that Gu Jiaran did not make his debut as the protagonist of a movie by air, as many people guessed. In fact, his debut work is the affectionate second male lead who silently guards the heroine in an idol drama.It is such a very streamlined role, and he played extremely stiffly in the few scenes.To put it simply - a vase, only the face can see it.

Public opinion suddenly went into an uproar.

During that time, Gu Jiaran was always on the cusp.Some people were obsessed with his face, some scolded him for his poor acting skills, some said he was a shame for pushing him, and some were gossiping about his parents' bloody affairs-malicious, neutral, prejudiced, and defending. Bloody.After that, as long as he has a new drama, these things seem to be repeated.As a result, many people said that once they saw everyone discussing Fang Yuan and Gu Anyang, they knew that Gu Jiaran had a drama coming up, insinuating that even their own parents would not let go of his hype.

However, I don't know whether it's due to his parents' favor or his luck, the TV series that Gu Jiaran participated in have received very good responses.He himself is good-looking and has a good temperament. In addition, the character design in the play attracts fans, and his low-key and indifferent image outside the play is also sought after by many people. It is really unstoppable.

This sounds a bit darkly humorous.However, the fact is that even if his acting skills are mediocre, he is still popular.

In the past two years, he has reduced the filming of TV dramas, and everyone speculates that he may be shifting his focus to movies.Now is the critical period for his career to soar, but Wen Yan told him that Gu Jiaran is going to play in their company's "Marie Claire"?It's no wonder that Ji Xu, who has always been calm and calm, has changed his face.

"What did you promise that he agreed?" Ji Xu was so surprised that he had to wonder if Wen Yan had made some great promise.

Wen Yan's expression was a little subtle: "It's indeed a small deal, but—" he spoke again after deliberating, "—basically it can be ignored."

Ji Xu had a look of disbelief: "Did you catch him for something?"

Wen Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No. Well, don't worry about this matter, Gu Jiaran must be him. Tell them to prepare the publicity."

As Wen Yan said this, the thoughts in his mind surged violently.Not to mention that Ji Xu didn't believe it, even he himself didn't understand what Gu Jiaran wanted to do.

That day, Gu Jiaran suddenly stopped him outside the bathroom of the clubhouse and said that he was willing to act in "Marie Claire" to solve Lan Hai's urgent need, and the only condition was that he hoped to live in Wen Yan's house during the filming period.

Wen Yan thinks he is sick.Then he felt sick, too, for he had thought seriously about his proposal.

"Mr. Wen, don't worry, I'm not a commercial spy and I won't invade your personal space. I just want to stay at your house for a while for some reasons."

He was nervous.

Wen Yan saw it.

Under the dim light of the clubhouse, he could easily see the embarrassment and discomfort on Gu Jiaran's handsome face.This was the first time he had looked at the big star so closely, and if the lights were brighter, he might still be able to see him blushing.Wen Yan was a little distracted.

Wen Yan was already a little tipsy from the night's drink, so he couldn't help but lit a cigarette, trying to sober himself up.

"So, Mr. Wen, do you want to think about it?"

The other was almost aggressive, although his hands trembled slightly as he spoke.

really interesting.

To be honest, it's just a movie, so it's good to find the right people and start shooting smoothly, and it's not a big deal if the company suffers some losses if it doesn't shoot.But this is the first time I've seen someone who dares to negotiate a deal with him like this in these years. What reason does he have to refuse?Whatever his purpose, he was never afraid of anyone.

Wen Yan couldn't help but took a puff of cigarette, raised his head to meet the other's eyes, and replied, "Okay."

Two, meet

A basket of TV movies V: The starring role of the annual drama "Marie Claire" written by Lao Dao and directed by Meng Yuan has been confirmed!The heroine, Song Xiaoxiao, and the hero, Gu Jiaran, are you looking forward to it?By the way, Gu Gu hasn't acted in a modern drama for a long time. It is said that the clothes of the leading role are sponsored by big brands, so you are guaranteed to be dazzled! [Laughing] [Drooling]

Xiao Mo loves to eat fish: Can the marketing account stop talking nonsense?Gu Gu's next play is a movie, thank you!

CP21_ Booth G43 welcome to feed: Damn, I want to get rid of fans!

I love Haojia the most: #顾嘉然##谢嘉然新剧《婉人行》#

Fei got up: Aww, really?Think about Gu Jiaran's various suits, shirts, and ties... [color]

Whose daughter Jiao: [Goodbye] [Goodbye] [Goodbye] Hello, Pan Xia, goodbye Pan Xia!

……

"So, are you sure you want to accept this TV series?" Lu Feng frowned as he looked at the script in his hand.

Gu Jiaran didn't speak.He was sitting on the sofa, propping his head on his left hand, and resting his right hand casually on his folded legs, knocking once and for all, but his eyes were fascinated by the blue signboard of the tall building outside the window.

After a long time, he nodded.

Lu Feng let out a long breath: ""Joyful Journey", a modern urban love drama, 40 episodes are planned, you will play the male lead, the general manager of the company, the female lead Song Xiaoxiao, the director Meng Yuan..."

He raised his head and looked at Gu Jiaran seriously: "I need an explanation."

Gu Jiaran looked away, looked at the agent and smiled: "Brother Lu, why not shoot some fashionable and beautiful modern dramas while I am still young? Fans can get more material by editing videos."

Lu Fengqi didn't say anything: "Stop doing this."

"It's only been three or four months. Modern dramas are easy. I just want to take a break."

"For this play, you pushed "The Wind" directed by Li Tong." Lu Feng looked at him motionless.

Gu Jiaran understood what he meant.

"The Wind" is a large-scale production movie, which tells the story of Huang Yihai, a traditional craftsman.The background is set in the period of the Republic of China, which was turbulent and full of agitation, which destined him to live an ordinary and extraordinary life.The protagonist Huang Yihai is played by the veteran movie star Li Qiuping. In Huang Yihai's youth, the producer liked Gu Jiaran to play him.Gu Jiaran must be very honored to be able to appear in the same movie as Mr. Li in the same movie, but this time he turned it down.

Gu Jiaran's expression was indifferent, and there was no sign of retreat in his eyes: "It's a pity that the investor is interested in the little heavenly king Zhao Yucheng."

Lu Feng earnestly said: "Jiaran, I followed you as soon as you debuted. Others think you are famous because of hype, how much hardship you have suffered, how much wronged you have suffered, and youyou and I can see it. This show is very important for the present For you, there is no help except self-depreciation and consumption of popularity. Let’s not say that this book was for Liang Wenhui before, who is Song Xiaoxiao, and the little flower that Lan Hai wants to hold now. You mention her, you see, not to mention the investment, even the building has been given up, and the filming location is directly set in Lanhai. Yes, the price of this drama is very high, but you are not short of—"

Gu Jiaran interrupted him: "I know."

Lu Feng had a headache: "You know you still...?"

Gu Jiaran stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked out: it was dusk, and compared with the busy morning, the city soaked in the afterglow of the setting sun seemed much warmer at the moment.

Gu Jiaran said softly, "Brother Lu, just this once."

Lu Feng was startled, and it took him a long time before he said: "For so many years, I haven't seen you caring about anything other than filming..." He sighed deeply: "...Since you are so persistent, fine, then be so determined." Alright."

Half a month later, "Marie Claire" finally officially launched.

Gu Jiaran joined the team a week late because a costume drama that had just finished had a few scenes to make up for.

The happiest person to take on this scene is Gu Jiaran's assistant Yoyo.Yoyo has followed him since graduating from university, she is definitely his No. [-] fan in Tianzi.As soon as she heard that he had accepted a modern idol drama, she happily called out: "Shirt, suit and tie, but brother, we have to lick the screen again!"

Lu Feng on the side rolled his eyes: "Superficial!"

The first scene that Gu Jiaran joined the group was a night scene: the heroine joined the big company she had admired for a long time, but found that the cruelty of the workplace was far beyond her imagination.When she finished overtime exhausted and sat in the office in a daze, she met the male protagonist who returned to the company because of urgent matters. The male protagonist called her to help when he needed help.The two had a tacit understanding when they cooperated for the first time, and the depression in the heroine's heart dissipated a lot, and then the hero sent her home.

The main story line of "Marie Claire" revolves around the heroine's personal growth, and the male protagonist is basically only in charge of the romance scene, so it's no wonder that Lu Feng doesn't want Gu Jiaran to take over.

This was not a difficult scene, but because there was a problem with the shooting equipment and it was still being adjusted, Gu Jiaran was bored, so he leisurely visited the floors.Lan Hai was also very sincere this time, and specially vacated the third and fourth floors of Building B for the crew to use.Gu Jiaran climbed up the stairs, and walked to the corridor of time on the fourth floor.

He couldn't help but stopped.

Time Corridor, the landmark building of Blue Ocean Media.

It is said to be a corridor, but it is actually an air passage with a total length of about 50 meters.The building design concept of Blue Ocean Media is quite modern: the two buildings AB and AB face each other in a semicircle, which looks a bit like blooming flower petals at first glance.The two buildings are only connected by a glass passage on the fourth floor, which is the corridor of time.The most special thing about this promenade is the three-sided all-glass structure. Some designs have been made above the passage. As long as there is sunlight, the light and shadow refracted through the pillars are particularly rich and mottled. No matter from which angle you look at it, it is particularly beautiful. Taking a photo on it is simply lighting and beauty.There is a very famous joke inside Blue Ocean that is——

Everyone who walks on the corridor of time feels that they are acting in an idol drama.

What really made this passage famous is the classic scene in the movie "Window" by actress Kong Yin a few years ago: Shen Qiuyu has let go of everything in the past, she walks on the corridor of time with a smile, and the light and shadow continue to flow from her. A flash across the face and body.At that moment, it was as if time went back in time, and she returned to the carefree little girl back then.Then the music gradually started, the camera gradually zoomed out, and the last thing to freeze was her unstoppable pace in the evening.

This scene was rated by netizens as one of the top ten classic shots of domestic [-]-year-old movies.

At that time, Kong Yin's popularity with the audience was minimized because of the chaos in her private life, but this scene was so beautiful that everyone seemed to think: What does it matter?she is so beautiful.

The audience is always ruthless and sentimental. One second they may hate you because of a gossip, and the next second they may fall in love with you because of a scene.

The Corridor of Time is also an important place for the emotional development of the male and female protagonists in this play. Lu Feng said that the reason for the loss of the blue ocean is because they borrowed the Corridor of Time.Since "Window", this beautiful aerial passage has never appeared in film and television works, which shows that Lan Hai attaches great importance to this drama.

It is night now, and the promenade that has lost the sun seems not as exciting as it was during the day.However, there is a small night light installed inside the passage, which is dotted with stars. From a distance, it looks like stars hanging in the night, which is a bit different.

As if bewitched, Gu Jiaran walked up.

There was an unstoppable wind beside his ears, wrapping him gently from behind.Gu Jiaran walked very slowly, and he didn't know why he walked so slowly, as if he would disturb this quiet night if he walked faster for one second.

Gu Jiaran stopped in her tracks.

Not far in front of him was a man smoking a cigarette with his back against the glass wall, the light of the smoke flickering on and off at his fingertips.The man seemed to have seen him, glanced at him slightly, and then threw something.

Gu Jiaran reached out to catch it, it was a bunch of keys.

"272th Floor, Building 16, Emerald Cloud Mountain, No. 5, Linjiang Road." It may be because of the wind that his voice sounded a little far away.

"Also, since we're going to be roommates, I feel like we need to get to know each other a little bit more."

As soon as the voice fell, the man had already arrived in front of Gu Jiaran.The collar of his shirt was loose, and the suit hung casually on his left arm.He is a little taller than Gu Jiaran, and his lean body wrapped in a shirt is particularly oppressive even at night.The wind seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, blowing his hair a little messy, slightly blocking a pair of long and narrow eyes.

For a moment, Gu Jiaran felt that the surroundings were too quiet.

"Hi, I'm Wen Yan."

The wind stopped.

[-]. Cohabitation

Wen Yan, the general manager of Blue Ocean Media.

There are many rumors about this general manager in the industry.Wen Yan's father, Wen Yuanshan, is said to have started his career as a gangster. After he settled down, he wanted to make money and founded Blue Ocean Media.Wen Yan's personality is not as stable and restrained as his father's, on the contrary, he is flamboyant, so many people were not optimistic at first.However, after he took over Blue Ocean Media, the company did not decline as many people had guessed, but instead flourished day by day.In the past, Blue Ocean Media was inferior to AT Entertainment, an established film and television company. Now, although AT Entertainment's popularity has not diminished, Blue Ocean has grown like a tiger and has made further progress.Wen Yan is young, smart, and good-looking.His appearance can be counted as handsome as a textbook, probably influenced by his father, and there is a bit of sternness in his gestures.In short, this Wen always provoked many stars in the entertainment circle, including some young fresh meat.

Wen Yan was very annoyed by this, and as time passed, he seldom showed up, and under normal circumstances, he was represented by the deputy general manager Ji Xu.

Zhou Bingqian, the make-up artist of the film crew, was helping Gu Jiaran with makeup while chatting: "I heard that Mr. Ji and Mr. Wen have known each other since they were very young and grew up together. Although Mr. Ji is a vice, he is not much different from a real one."

Youyou asked curiously: "Sister Qian, is Mr. Wen really handsome? I don't think I've seen him up close."

Zhou Bingqian smiled and said, "Really, these two general managers are actually pretty good-looking. But I still like our Gu Gu, and I'm going to pass out just looking at me."

Zhou Bingqian's exaggerated teasing made everyone around laugh.Gu Jiaran's eyes were closed, and a gentle arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.Lu Feng happened to walk over, and when he heard Zhou Bingqian's words, he couldn't help but think of the first time he saw Gu Jiaran.

At that time, he was still taking Xue Wei with him. The boss of AT Entertainment called him over alone and asked him to hand over Xue Wei's work to someone else, and when he was in charge of Gu Jiaran in the future, Lu Feng was actually quite unhappy.Xue Wei has good qualifications, is serious and self-motivated, he finally met a potential newcomer, and the work has been started, and suddenly he changed at will.Even so, Lu Feng complied.He has been in this industry for almost 10 years, and he has never encountered anything. It can be seen that there is a backer. What else can he say?But when he really saw Gu Jiaran, he felt lucky again.

Even though Lu Feng was used to seeing all kinds of handsome men and women in the entertainment industry, when he saw Gu Jiaran for the first time, he couldn't help but think of one word: handsome.Gu Jiaran's appearance is somewhere between a mature man and a teenager, not too tough, not a little fat, fair complexion, clear eyebrows, with a bit of raw astringency on his face, like——

It's like a spring breeze.Lu Feng thought to himself: Just one glance will blow into my heart.

Although what Zhou Bingqian said was a bit exaggerated, it also affirmed Gu Jiaran's outstanding appearance from the side.Especially a pair of eyes - dotted like lacquer ink, clear like a lake, completely inherited from his mother.Back then, Gu Anyang's 10-point acting skills, 8 points were all in a pair of eyes, which can be described as "one inch of a glance, a thousand pearls are not enough"-like affection and ruthlessness, full of love and hatred in the play.And now...

Lu Feng sighed secretly, and handed the script to Gu Jiaran: "The house over there in the Rose Garden has been cleaned. Are you going back there today or the Qinghe Road villa? I heard that Fang Tuoguo has returned..."

Gu Jiaran's long eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Neither Lu Feng nor Yoyo spoke again, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.

Seeing this, Zhou Bingqian packed up her cosmetics and said wittily, "It seems that they called me just now, I'll go and have a look."

Gu Jiaran took out his phone, unlocked and locked it repeatedly.After a while, he said, "I see. Brother Lu, I will live in Jade Cloud Mountain during the filming period."

Lu Feng was a little surprised: "Emerald Cloud Mountain?"

Emerald Cloud Mountain is a relatively well-known high-end community in the city.After thinking about it carefully, he was sure that Gu Jiaran had no property in Emerald Cloud Mountain.Gu Jiaran: "Yes... a friend lives there. I haven't seen him for a long time and invited me to live with him. Don't worry, he is a very ordinary male friend."

Lu Feng pondered for a while, since he is not a female friend, then there is nothing to worry about, he nodded to indicate that he understood.

If you want to say what is good about filming modern dramas, it is that actors are more relaxed.It was rare to finish work at 7 o'clock in the evening, and the nanny took Gu Jiaran all the way to Emerald Cloud Mountain.Until standing at the door of Building 16 A5, Gu Jiaran still felt unreal.He looked down at the key, hesitated for a moment, and reached out to ring the doorbell.

After waiting for a while, no one came to open the door.Gu Jiaran took a deep breath, put the key into the lock, and just about to turn it, the door suddenly opened.

Wen Yan's upper body was naked, and a white bath towel was simply wrapped around his lower body.He kept wiping his hair with a towel in his hands, and water droplets flew everywhere with his movements.Compared with the usual general manager Gao Gao in Shangwen, such gentle words are a little less serious and a little more lazy.

Gu Jiaran was a little embarrassed and couldn't help taking a step back.

"Sorry, I didn't hear it just after taking a shower." Wen Yan pointed to the box next to Gu Jiaran, "Is this all?"

Gu Jiaran turned his eyes away and didn't dare to look at him: "The assistant will send other things over tomorrow."

Wen Yan raised his eyebrows, turned around to make way for him, and Gu Jiaran walked in dragging the box.

Wen Yan's house is a duplex, with two floors.The decoration style is mainly in black, white and gray tones, simple and neat, just like his impression.

"Your bedroom is the first room on the right upstairs. You can use whatever you want at home, including food and drinks in the refrigerator. Auntie will come to clean and change food every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday."

"Oh, the one downstairs on the left is a gym. I know that your stars have strict requirements on their image."

"Next to it is the study room and projection hall, where there are TV series and movies."

"And... Well, it seems that there is nothing."

To be honest, it's a little awkward for two complete strangers to suddenly live under the same roof.The only fortunate thing is that everyone is not a talkative person. After Wen Yan gave him a brief introduction, he sat on the sofa in the living room and read the documents. After Gu Jiaran packed his things, he decided to order himself a bowl of noodles.

I just filmed a dinner scene in the afternoon, and the crew used real ingredients to serve hard dishes. Gu Jiaran ate a lot, and felt full until dinner time.Now that everything has been cleaned up, I feel a little hungry.

Gu Jiaran opened the refrigerator and took a look, and there were indeed plenty of ingredients.He took the eggs and tomatoes casually, turned his head and glanced at Wen Yan who was concentrating on reading the documents, hesitated for a long time but still didn't go up to ask the host if he wanted some.Until Wen Yan was attracted by the smell of noodles and raised his head, seeing Gu Jiaran eating well, he smiled and said, "You don't recognize life."

"Cough...cough..."

I don't know if Wen Yan's joke distracted him, or the sudden voice frightened him, Gu Jiaran was choked and coughed and his face was flushed.Seeing this, the perpetrator quickly poured him a glass of water. After a while, seeing that he was fine, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't it bold before?"

Gu Jiaran knew what he was referring to, and tightly held the water glass.

"Most people have two faces." His voice was a little hoarse, probably because of the cough he had just had.

Wen Yan shook his head and didn't say much.He tidied up the things on the coffee table and said, "Go to bed early." Then he went upstairs, leaving Gu Jiaran staring at half a bowl of noodles in a daze.

On the first night of living in Jade Cloud Mountain, Gu Jiaran suffered from insomnia as expected.He lay under the quilt and looked at the ceiling. There was a faint scent of lavender from the quilt. He couldn't help but think: So he used the laundry detergent with this smell; Wen Yan rarely had time to watch a movie in the bedroom. Standing on the edge of the cliff, pointing at the two converging galaxies in front of him, he looked at the heroine and smiled slightly:

"Look, destiny."

[-]. Exploration

Although they live together, their contact is actually very limited.The crew was on the right track, Gu Jiaran left early and returned late, and Wen Yan was extremely busy.Occasionally, when Gu Jiaran went downstairs to pour water, he could always be seen either on the phone or reading documents.

The two really became a pair of roommates.

In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday, and Gu Jiaran went back to his home on Qinghe Road for dinner.

While sitting in the car, he kept wandering.

The villa on Qinghe Road is the place where he has lived the longest so far.From 6 to 16 years old, 10 years, he spent 10 years here.He once thought that he would stay here for the rest of his life, but in the end, he almost moved out of here as if escaping.

When Gu Jiaran got home, the time was just right.The dishes were already set on the table, and they were steaming.Fang Yuan was sitting by the dining table, when he saw the man came back, he stood up and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to say something to him.In the end, for some reason, the right hand paused in mid-air, and then put it down again.Gu Jiaran took a deep breath, and called out in a low voice, "Dad."

Fang Yuan was silent for a while: "Let's eat."

The meal was eaten very quietly.During the dinner, only the sound of chopsticks hitting the dishes was heard: a little crisp and a little noisy.

Fang Yuan ate a little slowly, he kept looking up at Gu Jiaran, hesitant to speak; Gu Jiaran was uncharacteristically fast, probably because he was exhausted from the day's filming work.When his bowl of rice was about to bottom out, Fang Yuan finally said, "Is the money enough?"

Just like an ordinary father in an ordinary family, Fang Yuan prepared a meal, but only asked such a simple greeting.

Gu Jiaran nodded: "Yes."

"Dr. Yang's place...you have to remember to go..."

Gu Jiaran's chopsticks trembled slightly, then nodded again: "Got it."

The two fell silent.There was an inexplicable atmosphere in the air, astringent and bitter.

After Gu Jiaran finished his meal, he got up and prepared to leave.Fang Yuan looked at his neat movements with a sad expression.In the middle of the huge villa, stood two men full of thoughts, the emptiness made people feel flustered.

"I... I'm leaving first." As if remembering something, Gu Jiaran turned his head and added before walking out of the house, "You... take care of yourself."

When passing by the front yard, Gu Jiaran couldn't help but slow down.The yard that was once full of tomatoes, strawberries, and colorful peppers has now become a bit barren due to neglect. Only the orange tree at the corner seems to have grown a lot.He lowered his eyes, forced himself not to look, and walked out quickly.

It was already 9 o'clock in the evening when Gu Jiaran arrived at Jade Cloud Mountain.He opened the door, and the room was brightly lit, as bright as daytime.He suspected that Wen Yan had turned on all the lights in the house.

Wen Yan seemed a little annoyed, and when he saw him come back, he waved his hand as a greeting.

Gu Jiaran walked over and saw a suit, a shirt, and a dozen ties on the sofa.Wen Yan was wearing a tie around his neck, his movements were a little impatient, the tie that was originally ironed and smooth was wrinkled by him.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jiaran didn't understand what was going on.

Wen Yan's last bit of patience seemed to be exhausted by this sentence, he rudely tore off his tie, and broke down a bit: "It's so annoying."

This is also a bit funny.

Wen Yan has a very important contract to negotiate tomorrow, and the other party is a picky and fashionable foreigner: cleanliness, detail fanatic, obsessive-compulsive disorder, all kinds of pickiness and pursuit of perfection.For this reason, he specially matched a suit according to the taste of the other party, which is not only unmistakable but also eye-catching.The problem lies in the tie that is the finishing touch.

Although Wen Yan usually wears a suit, shirt and tie, he is generally more casual. He can tie and tie casually, and knowing two simple styles is enough.But this time the tie didn't know whether it was due to its texture or some other reason. It looked a bit weird to tie his usual tie knot.Although he personally feels that this weirdness can basically be ignored, but he can't let this possibility become a variable.So in the middle of the night, he found a lot of tie styles to try, but the more he tried, the more popular he became, and he didn't think it was right.

Who would have thought that the famous general manager Wen would be driven crazy by a small tie.

Gu Jiaran couldn't help curling the corners of her mouth.

He carefully looked at the shirt and tie on the sofa: the shirt had a large lapel, and the tie was plain silk, not too thin.He looked at Wen Yan and said, "Tie a double cross knot."

Wen Yan was still agitated: "What?"

Gu Jiaran hesitated for a moment, then picked up the tie, and motioned Wen Yan: "I'll tie a knot for you, you can see if it works."

Wen Yan glanced at him and stood in front of him cooperatively.

Gu Jiaran seriously hung the tie around Wen Yan's neck, and started to tie the knot without distraction.Wen Yan lowered his head slightly. From his perspective, he could just see the other party's fair neck. The neckline was distinct, extending from the jaw to the body.From his point of view, Gu Jiaran was a bit thin. From such a close distance, he could clearly feel his body rising and falling with his breathing.

Make him think of fireflies.

Obviously, the wind and the horse are irrelevant.

Of course, Gu Jiaran's fingers were unexpectedly strong, and the slender phalanges were able to easily fit between the tie, without any extra movements, clean and neat.

"Okay." Gu Jiaran took a step back.

Wen Yan turned around.

"You may have worn a Windsor knot before. This tie is not thin, and the Windsor knot will look too big and not good-looking. The double cross knot is also a more orthodox fancy style, grand and elegant, suitable for you to conduct business negotiations."

On one side of the living room is a floor-to-ceiling window, which has been turned into an unclear mirror by the night.Gu Jiaran stood beside him, not too far away, looking upright like a housekeeper.Wen Yan looked at it carefully, and he thought it was very good.

"How do you know this?"

"I filmed a TV series before, playing the role of the second young master of a wealthy family during the Republic of China. His family was from a clothing-making family, but later fell into disrepair. The second young master wanted to revitalize the family, so he started to learn from scratch. The costume consultant for that play was a I learned from the professor who studied the history of clothing evolution."
