Hearing the words, he smiled lightly: "I have read "The Past of the Xie Family."

Gu Jiaran didn't expect that Wen Yan had watched his TV series, and he knew his acting skills in his heart, so he couldn't help feeling ashamed: "The acting skills are not good, I'm laughing at you."

Wen Yan didn't answer, he couldn't help looking at the glass a few more times, and asked, "Do you want to come to Blue Ocean?"

Gu Jiaran smiled lightly: "Because I tie my tie well?"

Wen Yan was noncommittal: "How many years have you signed with AT Entertainment? Blue Ocean can afford the breach of contract. Although Lu Feng is an old man in this industry and has rich experience, but his abilities are average, and his plans for you are messy, so he is not suitable for you." Wen Yan On Yan's desk, there is always a data analysis of actors and actresses in the entertainment industry. Although he has never had contact with Gu Jiaran before, it does not prevent him from understanding him.

Gu Jiaran showed a surprised expression, and he suddenly realized that Wen Yan was not joking.

Gu Jiaran was rarely silent.

Wen Yan didn't urge him, because Gu Jiaran would definitely refuse.

Sure enough, after a while, I heard Gu Jiaran say: "Mr. Wen, thank you for your kindness. My situation... is a little special. I am very happy to cooperate with Brother Lu. I have no plans to change jobs at the moment."

really weird.

Wen Yan thought: That's weird.

Although this was a sudden temptation, he really wanted to poach someone.Gu Jiaran's refusal was also expected, he didn't feel regretful or angry.But he still felt strange, because even though he guessed the other party's thoughts correctly, his curiosity about Gu Jiaran didn't stop because of it.

This person, if you say he is bold, is bold enough, and if you say he is cautious, he can advance and retreat in a certain way.Not tepid, neither far nor near, even if it is pretended, it does pretend to be an interesting trait.

It's like a book - when Gu Jiaran wanted to make a deal with him, this book opened the first page.And he had to admit that he had already become interested and couldn't help but want to read on.

Hope it doesn't disappoint him.

[-]. Cooking

The filming of the crew has been carried out in an orderly manner, during which the official launched the first wave of publicity - the official Weibo released the photos of the main actors.In Song Xiaoxiao's makeup photo, she was wearing a red skirt and a beige cardigan. At this time, she was a newcomer to the society, with nervousness and joy on her face; while Gu Jiaran chose a profile photo for her makeup photo: wearing dark In a black suit, he seemed to be unbuttoning his shirt cuff buttons, and then looked back, with a gentle expression and a vague smile on his lips.

As soon as the promotional photos came out, Weibo immediately boiled over.

Little sheep cici: I am still so beautiful【心】【心】【心】

Ghost-F: I think Song Xiaoxiao compliments me sweetly when she smiles.

Let me tell a story and you drink: I don’t feel CP, so let’s wait and see. 【Crowd】

Love life and love Susu: Aww, editor, I love you, please ask for more! 【色】

Burning light and shadow: #顾嘉然##宋笑笑##嘉人行定贵#

……

Youyou flipped through the comments on Weibo, and picked out good ones for Gu Jiaran to listen to.Gu Jiaran is resting with his eyes closed: the scene where the heroine and the second female lead quarrel in the company is over, and it will be the rival scene between him and the second female lead.Within a few minutes, the phone suddenly vibrated, Gu Jiaran opened his eyes and looked, it was a text message from an unfamiliar number——

Come back for dinner in the evening.

It should be gentle.

After all, it is a person who has been in a superior position for a long time, speaks concisely, and cannot be refused.

Gu Jiaran became much more awake. He tossed and fiddled with his phone, wondering what he was thinking.Seeing him like this, Yoyo knew that he must have something on his mind, and asked cautiously, "Brother Gu, do you want some water?"

Gu Jiaran let out a breath: "I won't have dinner with you today, I have an appointment with a friend."

Youyou bit the bullet and asked, "Is that friend from Emerald Cloud Mountain?"

Gu Jiaran nodded, and pulled out a faint smile: "Well, don't worry, I'm fine."

It was probably because General Manager Wen's text messages had the effect of eloquence, and Gu Jiaran called it a day before 6 o'clock.When I got home, I saw that the general manager was indeed cooking in the kitchen: he was not in a hurry and had a good posture.Wen Yan turned his head and saw Gu Jiaran standing at the door of the kitchen, and said, "I can agree, I can only cook fish, if you want to be full, you can help me cook two more dishes."

Gu Jiaran: "..."

Braised fish in brown sauce, corn with pine nuts, eggplant with minced meat, and pork rib soup, this dinner made by two people has a good appearance.After all the dishes were served, Wen Yan took two more goblets and poured red wine for them.Gu Jiaran couldn't help but glance at the wine bottle: French.It is the first time that French red wine is paired with Chinese home cooking.

"What happy things happened to Mr. Wen today?" Gu Jiaran noticed that Wen Yan's expression was relaxed all night, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Wen Yan nodded: "The contract I mentioned to you last time is finalized." After a long time of grinding, Wen Yan finally signed the contract today, and Wen Yan felt much relieved.Thinking that Gu Jiaran also helped him, he temporarily decided to cook himself to express his gratitude.The fly in the ointment is that time is in a hurry, he forgot to go to the restaurant to pack two dishes and come back.

"The time is running out, it's a little simpler, don't mind." He had already raised his wine glass while speaking, "I respect you, I wore a beautiful tie and laid the foundation stone of success."

Gu Jiaran slightly shook the red liquid in the wine glass, and raised his hand: "Toast... Braised fish in soy sauce."

Wen Yan said that he can cook fish, it's not an exaggeration, it looks delicious, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he bought it.Gu Jiaran took a few sips and asked curiously, "Boss Wen, did you learn how to cook it because you liked it at a restaurant?"

Wen Yan shook his head and said helplessly: "Actually, my mother loves to eat fish made by my father. Whenever my father is free, he will cook for her himself. But my father is too busy with work, flying around all day, He just forced me to learn this dish, sometimes when he is not at home, I can make it for my mother, that’s it.”

Gu Jiaran was a little surprised: "The chairman and his wife are so loving."

Probably because this sentence hit the point all at once, Wen Yan immediately opened up the conversation:

"Lanhai was founded by my father, you know, do you know why a film and television company was established? Because my mother likes watching movies."

"There is an author who writes novels called Upstream. She had a book called "Snow City". My mother really likes a supporting actor who died in a few scenes. My dad asked someone to find the original author directly. I bought the story of the supporting actor Shen Yu, and asked the author to start a story for him alone and make it into a TV series. This is the later "Tao Sha Ji".

"Really, sometimes I can't bear it. Both of them are more than 100 years old together, and they are not the kind of tired and crooked people. But, as long as the two of them are together, the atmosphere will make people unable to get in."

Wen Yan is not usually a person who likes to talk about personal matters, maybe he is really in a good mood tonight, he is so excited that he can't stop.Gu Jiaran was also attracted, he couldn't help but stop his chopsticks, as if he was already immersed in those funny things.

Wen Yan glanced at him, and changed the subject: "What about you? You look like you can cook anything, and it's quite rare."

Gu Jiaran lowered his head and focused on picking up the fishbone: "I stayed in England for a few years, and I couldn't get used to the dishes there, so I learned how to cook them myself. Over time, I have developed my cooking skills."

Wen Yan nodded: "Are you studying in the UK? I've read your information. You seem to have stayed in the UK for 6 or 7 years, which is quite a long time."

Gu Jiaran's hand stopped, he took a quick look at Wen Yan, then lowered his head and said vaguely: "Yes, going to school, and... some other things."

Wen Yan didn't ask him what the "other things" were.Everyone has their own secrets, and the greatest virtue of being an adult is always knowing when to keep what distance.For Wen Yan, Gu Jiaran is his tenant, or after tonight, he can barely be regarded as an ordinary friend.

And an ordinary friend is only enough to drink a glass of red wine together.

The other party has no intention of talking deeply, and he will not cross the line.

Lying on the bed at night, Gu Jiaran suffered from insomnia again.He tossed and turned, thinking about the dishes he ate at night, thinking about what he had said at night, going through his mind over and over again.Finally, he simply sat up, opened the drawer of the bedside table, and took out a small white jar from it.

He swayed and rattled.

That was the sound of pills hitting the jar.

Gu Jiaran unscrewed the lid, took out a piece and put it in his hand.He stared at it for a moment, then swallowed.

I don't know if it was because of this meal, but in the days that followed, something seemed to have changed between Gu Jiaran and Wen Yan, but nothing seemed to have changed.

If Gu Jiaran finishes work early, he will occasionally go back and cook for himself.Of course, as a tenant, he would politely ask Wen Yan if he would like to come together.Wen Yan doesn't like socializing at all, so as long as he has time, he is more than happy to go back and eat ready-made ones.The two also chatted at the dinner table, stocks, football, celebrity entertainment, everything, but basically they talked more with gentle words, while Gu Jiaran talked less.

Wen Yan felt that this kind of getting along was very fresh, and at the same time felt a little strange.

In these years, apart from his parents, most of his work partners are around him.Best friends are like Ji Xu, they played together since they were young, and they are so familiar with each other, they naturally have a tacit understanding when chatting, sometimes the other party can understand the meaning without finishing a sentence, and have fun in all kinds of ways.

But Gu Jiaran was different.

He's a little quiet at the dinner table, and when you're talking, he's very focused.When talking about some interesting topic, he will also look up at you very seriously, as if urging you to speak quickly.He is a good listener.Because of that deal, Wen Yan purposely watched some Gu Jiaran's interviews and some film and television works. Speaking of which, although he has debuted for so many years, his temperament is always gentle and peaceful.

In other words, it was calm.

Wen Yan always felt that he shouldn't be like this, and also felt that he was like this.But no matter what, he likes to see the eagerness, excitement, or yearning in his eyes when chatting.They are like the stars in the night sky, twinkling and twinkling, clamoring for gentle words, and talking on and on.

Six, drunk

"If a person secretly observes you, sometimes he is a little nervous to talk to you, what is the reason?"

Ji Xu signed the document expressionlessly: "It sounds like a young girl Huaichun. In literary terms, it's secret love, liking, love."

The person opposite was silent for a while, and finally shook his head firmly: "No, it's not."

Ji Xu put down the pen in his hand and raised his head: "Shouldn't you be on the plane to France at this time? You told me half a month ago that you were going to pick up Aunt Wen."

Wen Yan shrugged: "My dad finished his work there, so I went by myself, maybe stay there with my mom for a while."

Ji Xu had a bad feeling: "What about the other companies?"

"Throw it to me. So we might be a little busy next time."

Ji Xu looked at him.

Wen Yan argued: "I'm not idle either. It's just that I'm too lazy to socialize, and we have always been open and secret, and we work together so well."

Ji Xu said helplessly: "Forget about the rest. But those people above are very difficult to deal with, and the film has to go through their hands. Next time, don't just find reasons to push it away." He seemed to think of something again , puzzled: "But why don't you even drink with me recently, and you don't come to eat at my mother's place with me, who did you eat with?"

Wen Yan was rarely silent.Before he could figure out how to answer, Ji Xu asked again: "Is that the one who secretly observes you and talks nervously to you?"

Wen Yan nodded.

Ji Xu pushed away the document, took out his mobile phone and teased: "Should I inform Uncle Wen that when he comes back, the family may have more daughters-in-law?"

Wen Yan laughed: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's a man, and you know him too, Gu Jiaran."

Wen Yan didn't say that they are currently living together, only that by chance, he did a favor and had dinner together.Ji Xu is so smart, thinking of the "deal" Wen Yan mentioned earlier, he asked, "Is the deal about eating together?"

Wen Yan said vaguely: "Almost."

In fact, it's not that he can't tell Ji Xu, it's just that he doesn't know what to say for a while.This sounds weird to anyone.

Ji Xu frowned and thought for a while, then said solemnly: "Ayan, does this Gu Jiaran have a crush on you? Want to climb into bed?"

Ji Xu can't be blamed for thinking this way, if the entertainment industry wants to talk about chaos, sometimes it is really chaos.When Wen Yancai was the general manager, he went to a hotel to attend some kind of meeting. A starlet who wanted to be famous and crazy bought off the hotel waiter and sneaked into Wen Yan's room.Wen Yan had a meeting all day, and went back to the room to take a look: Wow, the jade body is lying on the floor.He laughed angrily, and even threw the quilt into the corridor.

Wen Yan understood what he meant, shook his head and said, "I thought so too at first, but then I didn't think so. He behaved very naturally, observing me was really observing, being nervous didn't seem like a fake, but it didn't seem like The tension of facing someone you like."

Wen Yan's vision of seeing people is very accurate, unless Gu Jiaran's acting skills are against the sky, otherwise his analysis should be correct.

"Are you trying to keep some business secrets? I remember he is from AT Entertainment. Although we have cooperated with AT Entertainment in the past two years, they are still in competition on the whole."

"Then AT Entertainment's drama is a bit too much, and it's more reliable to arrange someone to enter the blue ocean." Besides, there are surveillance cameras at his home, so it doesn't make any sense to do such a thing.

After thinking about it, Ji Xu was still a little uneasy: "You arrange a dinner, I'll try it out."

After thinking about it, Wen Yan couldn't hold back Ji Xu, so he agreed.

That night, Wen Yan asked Gu Jiaran if he would mind having dinner with Ji Xu. He said it was an inquiry, but it was actually a notification in disguise.Gu Jiaran nodded: "Understood. Tomorrow, I will try my best to advance the game and come back early to make more dishes. I wonder what Mr. Ji likes to eat?"

Wen Yan originally wanted to talk about going out to eat, but Gu Jiaran said it too naturally, so he replied casually: "He has a strong taste and likes spicy and spicy. There is a homemade chili sauce in our refrigerator that he likes to eat very much."

After finishing speaking, Wen Yan was stunned for a moment: probably because the two of them spend more time together during this period, the meal buddy also feels like a monk.

When Ji Xu came to the door the next day, Gu Jiaran was busy in the kitchen.Ji Xu greeted him and sat on the sofa with Wen Yan to chat.He looked at the kitchen, then at Wen Yan, and then at the house, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that something was wrong: "I haven't been here too often, why do you think it's different this time?"

Wen Yan was a little speechless: "What's the difference? Are you overly suspicious?"

Ji Xu thinks about it too, and prepares to turn on the TV.As a result, after searching for a long time on the sofa and coffee table, I didn't find the remote control.

"Where is your remote control?"

"I couldn't find it in the drawer under the coffee table, so Gu Jiaran put it in the drawer for me." Wen Yan flipped through the financial magazine and replied.

After waiting for a long time without hearing the sound from the TV, Wen Yan raised his head and saw Ji Xu's strange expression: "You want to make a big news, general manager."

"..."

"You didn't tell me that you lived together?!"

Wen Yan closed the book with a "snap": "It's not what you think. There's something wrong with his house, and he's staying here for a few days."

"If you are photographed, let me know immediately, and the public relations department will deal with it."

"..."

"I was serious."

"You were the first to meet my two girlfriends."

"Now that I think about it, your two relationships were very short-lived, and you were dumped by women. I can only say that women have a really powerful sixth sense."

"..."

Fortunately, Gu Jiaran rescued Wen Yan in time.After serving the dishes and pouring the wine, he called Wen Yan and Ji Xu over for dinner.When Ji Xu saw the table full of dishes, he immediately admired the big star.

"I'll eat first, I'll take a picture." Ji Xu sighed while taking pictures, "I will post a Weibo later, I feel like I will be overwhelmed by the saliva of your fans."

Gu Jiaran couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Ji is joking, your fans will come back in a second."

Ji Xu was joking with Wen Yan before, but as soon as he sat at the dinner table, he remembered the task of "exploring".He was already good at chatting, and jokes followed one after another while talking and laughing, and the tricks in his words were also linked together.Wen Yan saw it, but didn't stop him.

After dinner, Wen Yan sent Ji Xu downstairs.He didn't drink much himself, mainly Ji Xu and Gu Jiaran were drinking.Gu Jiaran can't drink more than Ji Xu, one cup on the left, one cup on the right, before the meal is finished, he is already dizzy.In the elevator, Ji Xu shook his head: "If he is a person in the business field, he is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered." At the end, he added, "It's still a very fat one."

Wen Yan laughed: "Okay, you can go back quickly, I will drive the car to the company for you tomorrow."

Ji Xu grabbed him, a little serious: "Seriously——"

Wen Yan suppressed the smile.

Ji Xu hiccupped: "—if you get photographed, you must tell me."

Wen Yan: "... Get out!"

Gu Jiaran was actually a little drunk.

The mind is seven points chaotic and three points clear.This three-point lucidity supported him to slowly move from the dining table to the sofa in the living room.Fortunately, although the walking was a little staggering, at least he didn't fall.He had a severe headache, and the soft sofa made him feel unsteady, light and floating, as if floating on a cloud.He wanted to pour himself a glass of water, but there was nothing on the coffee table where there was usually a cold water jug.Gu Jiaran froze for a moment, then realized that he didn't seem to be at her home.

Where is this?

So when Wen Yan opened the door, he saw Gu Jiaran sitting upright on the sofa, looking at a loss.He looked here and touched there, like a lost deer.Wen Yan leaned against the door and looked at him, feeling a little soft in his heart.He walked over and patted Gu Jiaran on the shoulder, and said softly, "How are you? I'll take you upstairs to rest."

Gu Jiaran seemed to be taken aback. He frowned, squinted his eyes, and carefully identified the person in front of him. He only felt that this face was a little strange, but also a little familiar.Seeing him like this, Wen Yan guessed that he was quite drunk, so she reached out and grabbed his arm to help him stand up, ready to take him to the room.But at this moment, Gu Jiaran, who had been staring at Wen Yan closely, seemed to regain his spirit suddenly, with a strange look in his eyes.He suddenly broke free with his backhand, Wen Yan was unprepared, and turned around quickly: "You—"

Gu Jiaran immediately hugged him.

He hugged Wen Yan tightly with his hands, and buried his head on his shoulder.Probably because the posture was a little uncomfortable, he tilted his head and rubbed again, his soft hair gently scratching Wen Yan's face and chin.Wen Yan didn't know what happened at all, his hands were hanging stiffly, he only felt that his body was a little hot.

In a daze, Wen Yan felt that he was also a little drunk.

"...Uh...I...You..."

"what?"

After an unknown amount of time, Wen Yan heard Gu Jiaran seem to have said something.His voice was low and muffled, and Wen Yan couldn't hear him clearly.He sighed, tried to pull Gu Jiaran away from his body, and asked again: "What did you just say?"

As soon as Gu Jiaran saw him, he smiled, so that his eyebrows and eyes curled up.Wen Yan has never seen him smile like this before: like sunshine after rain,

Pure and clear.

"I miss you so much."

Before Wen Yan could react, Gu Jiaran continued on his own: "I'm an actor now."

Wen Yan: "..."

"My first play was called..."Half Sugar Lover", and I played the second male lead, named Meng Yi."

Wen Yan was a little uncertain about the situation now, and asked, "And then?"

Gu Jiaran laughed again, and then became depressed again: "I didn't act well, and they all scolded me. Acting is so difficult."

"Let me tell you secretly, that heroine often acts while eating. I don't think it's good."

Wen Yan: "..."

"I memorize lines very quickly, and I will recite them to you."

"I don't like hanging wire, I feel a little scared every time I do it, what should I do?"

"My acting skills are better now, and some directors praise me."

……

He is like a child on the first day of school, returning home excitedly to report everything that happened at school to the adults - characters, scripts, filming process, and even crew gossip - everything is related to acting related matter.

Wen Yan was a little speechless, he didn't expect that Gu Jiaran, who was drunk, turned out to be a slob? !He felt that the other party was about to finish talking for a lifetime.He has never seen such a Gu Jiaran, a little childish, a little...cute.

The next morning, Wen Yan was sitting at the table drinking porridge when he saw Gu Jiaran rushing out of the room.He frowned, his pajamas were half inside and half outside his trousers, and his hair was messed up.After seeing Wen Yan, he stopped, looking a little embarrassed.Wen Yan slowly clicked on the news on his mobile phone, and glanced at him: "You're awake."

Hearing this, Gu Jiaran was even more embarrassed - the red ears that were about to bleed betrayed him.

He hesitated for a long time, then said carefully: "I'm sorry Mr. Wen, I drank too much yesterday, I..."

Wen Yan was a little funny: "Don't worry, you didn't vomit on me yesterday. You just had a conversation with me and then fell asleep."

Gu Jiaran breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll take a shower first."

Wen Yan nodded: "Come and have some porridge after washing up. I've greeted the crew. Your play is scheduled for the afternoon. You can take a good rest."

When Gu Jiaran came out after taking a shower and tidied up, Wen Yan hadn't finished his breakfast yet.But he didn't care too much anymore, the aroma of white rice porridge made his stomach growl, and he needed it to solve the discomfort after a hangover.He sipped his porridge contentedly, and then heard Wen Yan say, "Yesterday you talked about a lot of things, which really opened my eyes."

Gu Jiaran was a little confused.

He only remembered yesterday as if he had a dream, and he didn't remember what he said at all. What did he say that would open Wen Yan's eyes?

Wen Yan continued: "You talked about a lot of things in the circle, it's so exciting."

"I don't even know some of them. It turns out that who, and who, I really didn't expect, they actually..."

"Is that thing true? Is that who he really is?"

"And that, tsk tsk, I really can't tell, it's too much." Wen Yan shook his head again and again, full of emotion.

Gu Jiaran was completely dumbfounded.

So who is who?What is that?Which one is that?Did he say something nasty?Drinking nonsense or drinking the truth?

Gu Jiaran's face turned pale, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles for a while.

Wen Yan didn't seem to notice his strangeness, and continued to drink his porridge.

Gu Jiaran thought about it carefully, put down his chopsticks, and said solemnly: "Mr. Wen, everyone has a different way of life. It's impossible to say who is right and who is wrong. It's just that everyone chooses differently. We, no, it's me, I shouldn't comment. I drank too much yesterday, and I may have said a lot of personal things about people in the circle, these are just my family's words, please don't take it to heart, Mr. Wen."

His words were sharp, and it could be seen that he was really worried that his slip of the tongue after drinking would cause trouble to others.Seeing his serious look, Wen Yan suddenly smiled.

"I lied to you. You only told me something about acting, and nothing else. You were just joking."

Gu Jiaran stared at Wen Yan for a while, seeing that his expression was natural, he was sure it was a joke, and finally felt relieved.Wen Yan finished the rest of the porridge and stood up.He took the suit on the back of the chair and prepared to go to the company.When he was about to pass by Gu Jiaran, for some reason, he suddenly remembered the phrase "make big news" that Ji Xu joked with him yesterday.

He stopped.

"Gu Jiaran, in fact, you said something to me yesterday, you said—"

"--you like me."

He turned his face and saw Gu Jiaran's unbelievable expression, the corners of his mouth curled up: "This sentence is true."

[-]. Slander

Gu Jiaran has been avoiding Wen Yan recently.

Ever since Wen Yan said that sentence, Gu Jiaran has been in a state of entanglement.On the one hand, he thinks that Wen Yan is joking and deceiving him again, which is absolutely impossible for him to say so; on the other hand, he feels that drunk people cannot be analyzed with common sense. For example, he has seen a person who usually loves to buy clothes. Actor, got drunk and threw all his favorites into the trash can.All in all, whenever he thought of Wen Yan, he felt uncomfortable and simply avoided him.

Wen Yan knew what he was thinking, so he didn't say a word and let him go.The main reason is that he felt that he was indeed a bit baffled, one joke was not enough, and then he lied to others.It was all Ji Xu's fault, talking nonsense, which made his mind go crazy.

The two get along so comfortably, basically returning to the state they had when they first lived together.

As for the crew, because Group B was previously opened, the assistant director led the team to shoot some unimportant scenes.After the two groups started filming at the same time, the progress was much faster.Soon it will be the last scene of the TV drama's interior scene, and then the crew will withdraw from the blue sea to shoot the exterior part.

Mr. Ji of Blue Ocean came over early in the morning and said that in order to celebrate the "finishing" of the Blue Ocean building, the company invited the crew to dinner.Considering that there are still heavy photographic equipment, the place to eat is in the internal restaurant of Blue Ocean.Gu Jiaran was delayed for a while because of something, but when he arrived, he found that everyone was seated and was waiting for him. The reserved seat was at Wen Yan's table, between Meng Yuan and Wen Yan.

Gu Jiaran hesitated.

"Brother Jiaran, here!" Song Xiaoxiao had sharp eyes, saw Gu Jiaran stop, thought he was looking for a seat, hurriedly greeted him, and pointed to Meng Yuan.After shouting, everyone looked at Gu Jiaran, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over.

Too crowded.

I don't know if it's because of his psychology, it's obviously a table for ten people, but as soon as he sat down, he felt that it was too crowded - he could even smell the smell of tobacco on Wen Yan, mixed with a little perfume.He moved a little uneasily, his arm barely brushed Wen Yan's shirt, at that moment Gu Jiaran seemed to be scalded, and quickly took it back.

He is a little restless.

Wen Yan, Ji Xu, and Meng Yuan were chatting and laughing, Song Xiaoxiao was playing with his mobile phone, and the producer had just left his seat to make a phone call... Gu Jiaran tried hard to divert his attention to other people, trying to appease him and jumping hard heart.But Wen Yan seemed unwilling to let him go, chatting happily, couldn't help dancing.Shoulders, arms, hands, even the thighs under the table, they are in frequent but common contact.Gu Jiaran was stiff all over, and when he didn't know what to do, Meng Yuan suddenly threw the topic to him: "Xiao Gu, you have been in England before, so hurry up and tell me, those swans are really so powerful?"

what?

Gu Jiaran's mind went blank.

Wen Yan reminded with a smile: "We are talking about the Thames River, White Swan."

Gu Jiaran didn't seem to hear, and still didn't speak.

Wen Yan saw that his face was a little strange, and asked quickly: "What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell?"

Gu Jiaran turned to look at Wen Yan.

It was the first time he looked at each other so closely and so clearly: his lips were drawn into a line, a little serious; his nose was high and straight; there was a small mole above his eyebrow, and his eyes— —

There's unabashed concern in his eyes, and a little self.

He was in Wen Yan's eyes.

How safe.

Gu Jiaran suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.Things that seemed to be weighing heavily on his shoulders finally found a foothold, and he unloaded them.

He turned his face and said with a smile: "Yes, after all, those swans were raised by the Queen of England. It is said that someone once..." The atmosphere on the table became heated again, and no one noticed that the male protagonist had a moment of pettiness. out of control.Wen Yan was stunned for a moment, but then he came back to his senses and returned to talking and laughing.

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere at the dinner table was in full swing.

Gu Jiaran has learned from the past and dare not drink too much.But Meng Yuan couldn't resist one set of persuasive rhetoric after another, so he drank a little to deal with it.After a while, he felt hot on his body, so he went out to the bathroom to wash his hands, and he was not in a hurry to go back, so he stood at the corner to blow some wind.

Seeing that he hadn't come back after going out for a long time, Wen Yan feared that he had drunk too much, so he went to look for him.Looking around and seeing him hiding in a corner in a daze, he laughed, and just about to speak, he saw Gu Jiaran raised his index finger and gave a soft boo.He stopped, and he heard intermittent voices coming from a small storage room separated by a wall: "...It's just relying on Fang Yuan...Senior brother, you think it's unlucky..."

Wen Yan frowned.He glanced at Gu Jiaran, who was leaning against the wall, arms crossed, with no expression on his face.

The conversation continued, and the other party seemed to be talking to someone on the phone.

"You really should come and see the scene, the acting is really horrible... I watched Director Meng collapse several times."

"...just wait, the hype little prince will not miss any chance..."

"...That's right, her mother is not a good bird, isn't it that she has an affair with several directors..."

"Hahahaha...Senior brother, you are amazing...Yes...for a while..."

……

The person talking on the phone didn't realize that what he said had already been completely heard until the call ended and he returned to the dinner table leisurely humming a song.

Honestly, it was an awkward moment.

It's okay to be forced to listen to bad things behind someone's back, and the person who said bad things is still standing opposite you.When the other party walked away, Wen Yan raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you are not very popular."

At this moment, Gu Jiaran was grateful to Wen Yan.It's great that he didn't say anything to comfort him, this is the last thing Gu Jiaran needs right now.

"Probably there are a lot of people who are popular." When Gu Jiaran said this, there was a trace of burnout and mockery in Gu Jiaran's eyes, "Do you have any cigarettes?"

Wen Yan was a little surprised: "I thought you didn't smoke." It was clearly stated in the information that he didn't smoke, and during the days I lived with him, I didn't see him smoking either.Of course, even so, Wen Yan still handed him a cigarette.

Gu Jiaran took it, turned around and leaned on the window sill, lit it, but didn't smoke it—his right hand was resting on the edge of the window sill, his left hand was stretched out of the window, the middle finger and index finger held the cigarette, letting the wisps of blue smoke follow The wind blows away.

"I can smoke. For a while, I was very dependent on them." Gu Jiaran's voice was a little low, as if lost in memory.

Wen Yan looked at him quietly.There are very few people in this circle who are smooth sailing.Don't look at the glamor of the stars in front of the stage, but off the stage, everyone has a lot of bad things that can't be remembered.He has seen too much.

"Aren't you curious? For example, what happened between me and my dad, or what happened between my dad and my mother, or something else, if you ask, I'll tell you."

Gu Jiaran raised his head and turned to look at Wen Yan.The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and seemed to be flushed, but there was a smile on his lips.

He was provoking him.

Wen Yan suddenly realized this.He seemed to wish he could ask those questions like he said, but—

"But you don't want to tell me."

Yes, that's it.He didn't really want to expose his wounds in front of others, he just wanted to embarrass himself and force himself in such a way.

Or rather, Ling Chi herself.

why?

Gu Jiaran looked at him motionless, and Wen Yan also looked at him.He was already taller and taller than Gu Jiaran, but this exchange of glances seemed a bit confrontational.

"Warm words." Gu Jiaran called softly.

Wen Yan's heart seemed to be brushed by a feather, a little itchy, a little soft, and a little painful.This was the first time he heard Gu Jiaran calling his name, his voice was as thin as a transparent soap bubble, which would shatter at the slightest touch.

Wen Yan couldn't help shaking his hand.

"Gu Jiaran, I hope you understand one thing, no matter why you made that deal with me in the first place, I am standing here now because I regard you as a friend. No matter what happens, I am here."

It's a promise.

Although Wen Yan didn't know anything at the moment, he still made a promise to Gu Jiaran.

Like driftwood to a drowning man.

Very good.That's great.

Gu Jiaran couldn't help thinking: It's great to meet Wen Yan.

Eight, reconciliation

When Wen Yan and Gu Jiaran returned to the box again, a new round of toasting began again.

The two had just sat down when Sui Cheng, who played the role of Gu Jiaran's friend in the play, walked over with a glass of white wine.Sui Cheng is the studio owned by famous producer Zhao Liang
