After the former actor was forced to open for business

Hearing someone walking towards this side, Fan Yue couldn't help but frowned. Turning around, he saw a young man wearing sunglasses walking into the tea room, followed by his manager.

The man obviously didn't expect that there would be anyone here. When he saw the two of them, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled embarrassingly.

"Who am I? It turns out to be the male number two who came out halfway." The man said that he thought he was handsome, took off his glasses, and raised his well-shaped eyebrows lightly. "Hello, I'm He Cheng. Please help me." Fu, I am the third male in this play."

Fan Yue knew this person, and Chen Lixiao was assigned the role of this little fresh meat He Cheng before.

Fan Yue smiled, "Hello, Fan Yue."

Fan Yue didn't feel guilty when he was told so openly and secretly that he stole the role when they met for the first time.After seeing a lot in this circle, he becomes numb. He understands too well that sometimes good strength is not as good as a good backer.

After all, finding a backer is not only about ability, but also luck.

So he still replied to the man with a smile, but although his smile was gentle, this kind of gentleness was also mixed with a clear sense of distance, giving people invisible pressure.

He Cheng obviously also felt the not-so-strong but oppressive aura emanating from Fan Yue's body, and the expression on his face froze for a moment.

It is the panic of young people who are at a loss.

But the manager behind him seemed much calmer.

At this moment, the manager pushed his glasses, skipped Fan Yue and looked directly at Xia Jincheng who was behind, and reminded in a low voice: "Behind him is Mr. Xia from Jinyue Entertainment."

Mr. Xia is famous, and there are countless people who want to hug his thigh.

He Cheng's expression changed quickly, and the disdain and embarrassment just now were replaced by a flattering smile. Now he hurriedly walked up to Xia Jincheng in three steps and two steps.

"Hi Mr. Xia, I'm He Cheng, I've heard of you for a long time!" The word "excited" is in between the lines.

Xia Jincheng: "..."

Although the feeling of being ignored is not so pleasant, it doesn't matter if there are plays to watch.

Fan Yue watched someone's handsome face change colors back and forth, so he simply went to get himself a glass of water, intending to sit down and concentrate on watching the play.

Mr. Xia doesn't like to be in contact with people very much, and now he subconsciously leans back slightly, frowning, in an obvious defensive posture.

The first time Fan Yue saw him like this, the smile on his face couldn't help but enlarge.

But human beings are like this. When faced with something he doesn't like, other movements, no matter how subtle, can attract his attention.

At this moment, Xia Jincheng glanced at the water glass in Fan Yue's hand, his face darkened slightly.

"Don't drink cold water if you have a bad stomach." He stepped over and took the cup from Fan Yue's hand, without even looking at He Cheng and his manager.

Fan Yue was not too happy when his hand fell empty without warning.

Xia Jincheng's method of diverting the topic was a little too much. If he didn't want to pay attention to people, he just said, what's the matter with dragging him in for nothing?

The air froze for a moment.

Fan Yue was a little helpless, "Okay. Then I'll go there first, and Mr. Xia will go back when he's done with the matter."

When he said "something", he took a special look at He Cheng and the others over there, and the content he was referring to was self-evident.

Xia Jincheng raised his eyes to look at him, the emotions in those peach blossom eyes were so complex that it was hard to tell what it was.

"No." He said lightly, making a gesture to go with Fan Yue, "It just so happens that I have something to tell Director Chen."

"Hey, Xia—" He Cheng who was behind him wanted to say something more, but his manager firmly grabbed his arm, signaling him not to humiliate himself.

"Let's go." Xia Jincheng didn't care about anything else, just glanced at Fan Yue, and stepped out of the tea room first.

Fan Yue nodded politely to the two of them as farewell, then turned around and followed Xia Jincheng's pace.

Sure enough, as Fan Yue expected, what Xia Jincheng said about finding Chen Liheng for something was just an excuse.

In fact, Mr. Xia stopped immediately when he reached the door of the lounge, and turned to look at him, hesitant to speak.

"Mr. Xia has something to say?" Fan Yue asked.

Xia Jincheng frowned and opened his mouth, and finally only said one sentence: "Take care of yourself."

Although a sentence is light and weightless, it always seems to have some special meaning when it comes out of the mouth in front of him, so that Fan Yue was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to reply to him.

Fortunately, Mr. Xia didn't expect him to say anything, so he left without saying anything.It's just that the back is a little thin, which makes people's heart tremble slightly.

Fan Yue didn't know what kind of feeling that was, so it didn't affect him.

After all, he knew all too well what he needed to do now.

It took about an hour for the crew of "Xinghai" to arrive, during which Fan Yue sat in his seat and silently flipped through the script.

He Cheng was sitting on his right, and the seat on his left was still vacant until the moment before the director announced the start of script reading.

The protagonists all have to sit together, centered on the male protagonist and the female protagonist, and expand to the two directions of the conference table.

"I'm sorry everyone, I'm late." Pei Qing's tone is always gentle, coupled with his own gentle temperament, the whole person is more friendly, if it is not deliberately looking for trouble, no one can open their mouths to blame He what.

Without raising his head, Fan Yue lowered his eyes and sketched the next line on the script:

【Chen Lixiao smiled and threw away the long stick in his hand, and said: "There is nothing terrible about being abandoned. Anyway, I have been abandoned by you more than once."]

"To express my apology, I brought coffee and milk tea for everyone." Pei Qing continued, looking past the person beside him inadvertently.

The assistant was carrying things and was about to distribute them to everyone. Pei Qing stopped them and brought out two glasses by himself.

Fan Yue watched the episode with his head down, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that someone handed him a cup of coffee.

The coffee was from his favorite shop in the past. He was very familiar with the printed LOGO on the cup, but the hand holding the coffee was both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Full sugar with milk you like," the man whispered, then added with a smile, "if I remember correctly."

Fan Yue was stunned for a moment, then silently reached out to take the cup of coffee and put it on the table, then said lightly: "You remember wrongly."

He never liked sweet things, but he was assimilated for a short time because someone around him liked them in the past.

Feeling that the body of the person beside him stiffened obviously, Fan Yue didn't say anything, and silently lowered his head to read the script.

It's just that he didn't touch the cup of coffee until the director announced that the first day's reading was over.

As we all know, dinner is the most effective way to enhance people's interaction and emotional communication, so as the chief director, Chen Liheng is going to organize several leading actors to have dinner together.

"Director Chen, I won't go." Fan Yue declined the invitation without even thinking about it.

"What's the matter, Fan Yue, don't give me this face?" The words were a joke, and the tone was not that serious, but Chen Liheng seemed really unhappy, maybe it was because of being threatened by Xia Jincheng today.

Fan Yue smiled helplessly, "Don't dare."

He was about to find a reason to prevaricate when he heard He Cheng who was on the side speak first.

"Hey Director Chen, Brother Fan has a bad stomach. I heard Mr. Xia said today that he can't even drink cold water, so let's not force others to make things difficult for us!"

When He Cheng said this, he deliberately glanced at Fan Yue, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was not so kind.

Maybe the man simply didn't want anyone else to share his opportunity to curry favor with the director.

But this would help Fan Yue, saving him from having to spend his brains making up nonsense.

It's just that someone's gaze still caused Fan Yue's extreme discomfort.

"Director Chen, I'm not going either. I just came back from filming in the south and I'm not used to it. Next time I'll punish myself with three cups." Pei Qing's expression was indeed not very good when he spoke, it seemed that he was really dissatisfied.

But in this way, Chen Liheng's face became even uglier, and he turned his head and left the lounge without even saying a word.

Being slapped in the face by the two leading actors, it is estimated that any director will be a little bit offended.

What's more, there is another reason for blessing.

Fan Yue guessed that the "Director Chen" that Pei Qing called at the club that day should be Chen Liheng.Therefore, the so-called dinner party this time was probably a pretense used by Chen Liheng to profit from it.

Fan Yue's hard bone was protected by Xia Jincheng, if he didn't go, he wouldn't go, and he couldn't chew it anyway.

But if Pei Qing didn't go, then Chen Liheng would really be "unprofitable", so it's no wonder he was angry.

Seeing that everyone had followed Chen out of the lounge, Fan Yue had no intention of staying in the same room with Pei Qing, so he turned around and left.

"Fan Yue." Pei Qing stopped him if he was going to die.

They were the only ones left in the lounge, and the word "embarrassment" filled the air.

At least from Fan Yue's point of view.

He stopped in his tracks, but didn't look back, quietly waiting for the man's next words.

"What happened to your stomach?" Pei Qing asked him.

For some reason, there was an inexplicably cautious feeling in this person's tone, which was intentionally expressed with caution and restraint.

This made Fan Yue feel a little queasy.

"It's okay, it's the root cause of my illness from drinking before." He said patiently.

For some words and things, he will not take the initiative to bring them up, nor will he deliberately erase them, and the point is his last respect.

"Because of me?"

Fan Yue didn't expect him to ask such a sentence.From the very beginning, Fan Yue's attitude towards what happened ten years ago was already there, but this person kept bringing it up again and again, which was really boring and disgusting.

"You think too much."

That time he drank until he was hospitalized because of his own tragic experience, and it had nothing to do with anyone else, including Pei Qing.

Fan Yue said this in a cold voice, and walked out of the lounge quickly.

If he stayed with Pei Qing for another minute, he might go crazy.In the future, except for the necessity of work, he should not have any contact with this person again.

Fan Yue didn't say anything on the way back to the hotel, so He Qiaoqiao didn't need to guess to know that he and Pei Qing had a bad fight.But this matter can only be digested by Fan Yue, so she didn't say a word.

She knew the inside story, but Tian Yuan didn't know, and kept chattering along the way.

"Brother Fan, I saw Teacher Pei Qing when I was waiting for you downstairs today."

He Qiaoqiao: "Ahem!"

Tian Yuan: "He's really thin and gentle! But Brother Fan, you are the most handsome..."

He Qiaoqiao: "Ahem."

Tian Yuan still didn't give up: "I heard that you were roommates in college—hmm!"

He Qiaoqiao almost coughed up blood from the side, and finally reached out and took a piece of candy and stuffed it into Tian Yuan's mouth.

"Eat sugar and shut up. Can't you tell he's tired now?"

"I... I'm sorry, Brother Fan." The little girl looked aggrieved, followed behind with her head down and didn't speak any more.He Qiaoqiao was really pissed off, if it wasn't for the fact that Mr. Xia arranged for this assistant, he would have been scolded a long time ago.

Fan Yue is not such a fussy person, but today he really didn't want to say anything, let alone help Tian Yuan excuse.

When he entered the hotel, he didn't let He Qiaoqiao and Tian Yuan follow him, and went upstairs with his room card.

His room is at the end of the corridor, which is relatively quiet, suitable for him to read scripts and think about characters.

Perhaps it was because he was too tired, but he walked for a long time even though he had only walked a few steps, and slowly took out his room card to open the door.

There was a light "click" at the door next door, Fan Yue didn't care, after all, who lived next to him had nothing to do with him.

After a "beep", the door in front of him opened.

Fan Yue pushed the door open to enter the house——

"Fan Yue."
