shining star

Su Yu's promise is indeed from the heart. For him, everything is for a better future with Mi Le. If Mi Le's wishes are violated, then everything is meaningless.

But the idea is good, but the plan can never keep up with the changes.

With the success of the third album, X-Mantic finally ushered in the first national tour concert.From City S to Macau, it took two months. There were no empty seats in the eight cities, and the huge cheers were like turbulent tsunamis, pushing them to the highest shore one after another.

With Su Yu's promise, Mi Le became more active and excited on the stage, jumping up and down like an energetic little white rabbit, crossing the noisy waves and running towards the brightest future in his mind.Concerned about the fans, Su Yu and Mi Le still had very little communication on stage, but every time he saw Mi Le's jumping figure, Su Yu would feel extremely satisfied, as if his heart had turned into a piece of soft snow-white cotton, and Mi Le It is the person who stepped on the tip of his heart.

In order for this person to walk briskly forever, Su Yu is willing to give everything.

After the Encore in Macau ended successfully, BK Entertainment booked the banquet hall of City of Dreams to hold a grand celebration banquet for them.The excitement left over from the concert continued to burn in the body, and most of the people, including the staff, were immersed in the carnival of a successful performance.Mi Le played like crazy, but Su Yu rarely stayed awake, leaning aside to watch him play with Ji Chen and Lin Kaifeng.

Halfway through the banquet, Du Zhuojie walked into the banquet hall with a sullen face. The cold eyes behind the transparent glass lenses were incompatible with the enthusiasm in the venue, like a piece of ice falling into a volcano, instantly submerged in the boiling point, immersed in the grand excitement The people in the city hardly think about his existence.

Du Zhuojie went straight to Su Yu, "Tomorrow morning at [-]:[-], the first flight back to City S, you and I go back to the company." That always cold, mechanical voice was a little unconcealable anxious.

Su Yu was taken aback for a moment, he had detected some early warning from Du Zhuojie's expressionless face, then his face sank, and he replied in a low voice, "Okay."

"Captain..." Not far away, Mi Le was walking with a goblet in his hand, his face and neck were flushed with alcohol.

Du Zhuojie pushed his glasses, turned and left.Su Yu immediately changed his face, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and the eyes reflecting the warm yellow chandelier revealed endless softness and warmth, "Drunk?"

"No, I'm not drunk." Mi Le's eyes were wide open, he said decisively, and arched his nose in dissatisfaction, but his voice was already vague, and he began to stammer.

Su Yu chuckled and teased, "Little drunk."

He pinched Mi Le's earballs, and rubbed them lightly with the pulp of his thumb.Mi Le immediately shrugged his shoulders and tilted his head, a pair of bright eyes narrowed and slender, like a kitten that has always been touched comfortably.

"Mile is really sticky to Su Yu." The staff on the side said carelessly.

Even though there are few interactions on the stage, but in private, they can't hide from the close staff.They can often see Su Yu and Mi Le in pairs, interacting intimately. Although most people don't think about love, Mi Le still feels a little bit uneasy.After hearing what others said, he pouted subconsciously, frowned, showing an unhappy expression, and silently moved away from Su Yu.

The staff joked, "Why are you leaving? Don't you want to be called clingy?"

Su Yu let go of his hand, letting the warmth of nostalgia pass from his fingertips.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Su Yu and Du Zhuojie set off and returned to City S. At this moment, Mi Le, Ji Chen, and Lin Kaifeng were still lying exhausted on the big hotel bed, preparing for last night's event. The hangover pays.Du Zhuojie notified the staff and asked them to explain that Su Yu had a personal job after the three of them woke up.

Due to the temporary change of the itinerary and the lack of people at the airport in the early morning, Su Yu's early return was very low-key, and almost no fans knew about it.After two and a half hours of flight, they arrived in City S, and Ke Qitian, chief operating officer of BK Entertainment, had been waiting in the meeting room for a long time.

The moment he walked into the meeting room, Su Yu suddenly remembered that more than two years ago, in the same place and in the same season, the company announced the establishment of X-Mantic to the four of them.Obviously, I didn’t have much deep joy for myself at the time, but now I can clearly describe every frame of the picture in my memory—Mi Le’s stunned expression due to shock, Mi Le’s crooked eyebrows and eyes looking over with joy , Mi Le's perseverance when he made up his mind-everything about Mi Le had been cherished deep in his mind at that moment.

Ke Qitian pushed the tablet in front of Su Yu, and it showed a photo that was sent to his mailbox by an anonymous paparazzi yesterday evening.The photo was taken in an outdoor parking lot, and the whole picture showed a kind of inferior highlight, indicating that the original film was shot under extremely dim conditions, and in order to make the faces of the characters in the picture clearer, it was forcibly increased through post-production exposure.

Last night, seeing Du Zhuojie's expression, Su Yu guessed what kind of problem was waiting for him today - the camera that took the photo was facing the windshield of their nanny's car, and through a tricky angle, he could clearly see He saw two people sitting behind the passenger seat: him and Mi Le.Mi Le sat on his lap and put his arms around his shoulders. Although he didn't make any further movements, if Su Yu remembered correctly, they kissed that day—the day they confirmed their relationship. One of the trophies.

Su Yu behaved very calmly, without the slightest panic of his taboo relationship being exposed.He sat across from Ke Qitian, waiting for the opponent's second attack.

"This is one of them." Ke Qitian cut to the chase, "I know your current worth," he raised an index finger, "1000 million, the price you bought from a paparazzi."

Su Yu tapped the transparent glass of the conference table with his fingertips, "I can bear the cost, and we will pay attention to it in the future," he said.

In fact, from dating to the present, there was only one time when they crossed outside, and the moment of confession was unbearable, and no one could predict it.Other than that, both of them were paying attention, but they didn't expect that something went wrong just because of that one time.

Ke Qitian looked at him for a long while, he was neither angry nor out of breath, after a long silence, he let out a long sigh, "It's not a question of whether you will pay attention, I don't know if you are aware of it, but in the In my opinion, this is more serious than an idol's secret love affair, for obvious reasons—you're both boys."

He paused, straightened his back, clasped his hands and placed them on the conference table, his expression that was always sloppy suddenly became extremely serious, "I don't talk about morality and ethics with you, let alone analyze and judge with you. The socialized issue of gay equality is a big problem, and it cannot be changed by you and me. I am a businessman, and you are my 'commodity'. Our next conversation is based on reality."

Su Yu pursed his lips and said nothing, his eyes as still as still water fell on the photo, and he lowered his head wondering what to think.

Ke Qitian continued, "The problem we face is the market and users. What I have to consider is once this matter is announced, what kind of impact it will have on our users, whether they can accept it, and whether they can get the correct guidance. The answer Yes..." His eyes became deeper and deeper, "There is no way to guarantee it, and I am not qualified to guarantee it. I can't impose your and my thoughts and concepts on them, and I can't gamble with you on other people's future. The company is more than You X-Mantic are a group, but you can ruin the reputation of an entire company..."

"Tell me the solution you want." Su Yu interrupted what he was going to say next, and went straight to the point.Ke Qitian's meaning has been made obvious enough - he doesn't need verbal guarantees, but changes in actions.

"You and Mi Le, one of you must leave the group. This is my bottom line." His words were crisp and clear, obviously a decision had already been made before sitting in the conference room. "This is good for all three of us. Firstly, the opportunities for you to communicate publicly will be greatly reduced. Secondly, work and love will be separated, so that people will not feel that you have no distinction between public and private affairs."

Su Yu remained silent, as if he was considering the consequences of accepting this 'measure'.Ke Qitian was not in a hurry, and waited for him to measure slowly, giving him enough patience.Time passed by one minute and one second, and finally Su Yu answered neatly, "OK."

He will not discuss it humbly, not to mention that in his opinion, the result of the discussion is just to lose more initiative, turning the relationship between the two into a fragile boat, heaving and falling on the turbulent waves. It's not the stable future that Su Yu wants to give Mi Le.

Ke Qitian was a little surprised, he thought that such a big event would at least take a while. "Then I hope you can communicate well with Mi Le," Ke Qitian continued, "I'm talking to you alone because you are the captain of X-Mantic. I hope you can proceed from the interests of the team. After all, for the company, X-Mantic Mantic's income is irreplaceable. My suggestion is for Mi Le's Solo development, the company will not deprive him of his resources, nor suppress you."

Su Yu's eyes widened, "Are you planning to give up Mi Le?"

Ke Qitian replied, "For the team, you have greater significance. You are the captain, the C position, and the pillar of X-Mantic. For the company..." At this point, he put his hand under the table, "Frankly speaking, it's not that there are no solo singers in the company. Chen Yu is a precedent. As you can see, his development is not good, and the company can't win it no matter what. I will stick to my promise and not give up on Mi Le, but I I can't take risks with you."

Su Yu let out a sneer, and now that the matter has come to an end, he also calmed down, "Mi Le's popularity is not inferior to mine, he studies very seriously and has great potential."

"He ANTI a lot."

"But he is more suitable to be an idol than me." Su Yu said firmly, "You said that it should be based on reality and consider the company's 'users', so I will give you a suggestion based on the fan's position. As long as Mi Le is around, X -Mantic will not collapse. He will be responsible to fans and work, but I will not, I am only responsible to Mi Le."

Ke Qitian squinted his eyes. As one of the company's top executives, he naturally knew the details of the artists under his banner.At this moment, when Su Yu spoke, he looked very much like Su Yunming when he was young—they were equally talented, self-confident, and arrogant, walking on a path that completely deviated from the expectations of the people around them, but they never had A little guilt and hesitation, their determination and indifference are both annoying and enviable.

That is the confidence that comes from genius.

Ke Qitian closed his eyes and said, "In short, discuss and think about it yourself, and give me a clear answer after the New Year's Eve."

"Okay." This time, Su Yu responded quickly.
