Under the clouds

Jin Shuo stood in front of Xu Duming's desk, and a cup hit him directly on the shoulder, making a muffled sound of a heavy object colliding with his body.

It was a real hit, but Jin Shuo suffered it while standing, and he didn't move, but his livid face could show that he was not feeling well now.

"What did I say? You didn't pay attention to the rules I made, did you?" Xu Duming's face was so gloomy that it seemed that water would drip out.

Although he repeatedly told Jin Shuo not to act rashly, but as his subordinate, seeing Fang Mu's filming went smoothly, he began to lose his composure.

Besides, before that, after Xu Duming handed Fang Mu over to Jin Shuo to manage, he had set two rules.

One is that Fang Mu must not leave any scars or heavy marks on his body, and the other is that taking pictures and videos is not allowed.

But when the matter is in Jin Shuo's hands, it seems to be slowly changing, and no permanent traces can be left, and the photos and videos can only be kept privately as souvenirs, and cannot be shared.

There is no doubt that Xu Duming has an old love for Fang Muliu. After all, it was the first lover who accompanied him all the way through the difficult years. Love is different.

But Xu Duming has gradually become obsessed with the feeling of countless money flowing through his fingers over the years. He lingers in Vanity Fair. What kind of stunning beauty has he never seen?

Fang Mu's beginning gradually became insignificant, even because of the disgraceful things he did, he avoided facing Fang Mu even more, so intentionally or unintentionally, he also let some of Jin Shuo's self-assertive behaviors.

But letting it go, it's another thing to spread those unsightly photos of Fang Mu all over the sky. Those small troubles were ignored, Jin Shuo's behavior can be said to have made Xu Duming very unhappy.

Jin Shuo's face was tense, seeing that Xu Duming was really going to get angry, he pursed his lips for a moment of silence, and had to bend slightly to defend himself: "I didn't do this."

Xu Duming looked at him with a sneer.

Even if this matter was not done by Jin Shuo, it would be dereliction of duty if Jin Shuo has not supervised in place all these years, and Fang Mu's transactions are all through Chateau Tenerai, even if any guest is released, he will definitely come to test Xu first. It is absolutely impossible for Jin Shuo to be ignorant of Du Ming's tone.

"It's my fault, I've failed my duty too much." Jin Shuo looked at Xu Duming, who was still angry, and his slightly bent waist sank again, about [-] degrees.

"If you continue to be so smart, get the hell out of me." Xu Duming leaned back on his boss's chair, raised his hand and rubbed his temples, seeming very irritable.

Jin Shuo bowed again, sweating coldly, and said a little timidly: "Sorry, I was so stupid, the chairman forgive me this time, nothing like this will happen again, the follow-up of this incident I'll take care of it."

"Get lost." Xu Duming waved his hand at Jin Shuo, who had a humble attitude and sincerely admitted his mistake, as if he had no patience for him.

Jin Shuo knew that this was giving him a chance, so he hurriedly retreated, and carefully closed the door of the chairman's office.

It was a pretty chaotic night for a lot of people.

Zang Lanbai looked at Fang Mu who was still sleeping restlessly after drinking sleeping pills on the bed. He put his fingers on Fang Mu's Weibo login page, and put his hands on the keyboard but couldn't type a word for a long time.

What should I say, clarify?Or directly deny it, saying it is a picture of p.

How many people will believe the picture of P? In such a short period of time, how far those pictures and videos have spread, Zang Lanbai's palms feel cold, it is unimaginable.

But if he issued a clarification now, then Xu Duming must be involved behind this matter, which is tantamount to an open challenge to the Xu family, and Zang Lanbai has no evidence in his hands, and he even suspects that he is involved in this matter Articles may not be published.

Suddenly, it seemed like everything was caught between a rock and a hard place.

How far can Zang Lanbai go to Fang Mu who is only willing to try love, and to what extent is he willing to give.

Until the dawn of that day, Fang Mu woke up from his sleep, and Zang Lanbai still couldn't fall asleep.

Time will not stop because of anyone.

Fang Mu and Zang Lanbai came to the set the next day, and the atmosphere of the set became very different, and the eyes of those staff members looking at Fang Mu became very intriguing.

In addition, Fang Mu didn't deal with others at all in the crew before. When this happened, no one even stepped forward to comfort him, only looked at him from a distance and whispered hissing in a low voice.

"Have you seen those photos, they are real or fake."

"Of course it's true. Didn't you see that there is still a video, and..."

"Yeah, I haven't come out to clarify the words until now. It's probably true. She looks quite innocent. How can she live privately..."

Fang Mu's fingers scratched the mug to make harsh sounds. He didn't want to hear those discussions, but he just burrowed into his ears, as if he couldn't escape wherever he went.

In the afternoon of this day, Ren Yi, who was filming, continued to film with Fang Mu as before, as if he didn't know what happened. , and then his body stiffened, his eyes fell on a position where Ren Yi was not standing, his teeth were gritted, his whole body was shaking, and his breathing rate was not right.

In such a situation, he could only shout "Ka", Zang Lanbai hurried over, hugged him and pressed him on his shoulder, he knew that Fang Mu was hallucinating again.

He relapsed again.

Perhaps because he was afraid that the next scene would make Fang Mu even more disgraceful, Zang Lanbai put his arms around him, gestured apologetically to the staff present, and dragged Fang Mu, who was already struggling, into the lounge with his arms around him.

The condition that had been stabilized relapsed again. It seemed that all the efforts made in the past six months had returned to the original point, and everything fell short.

Fang Mu had to resume medication in order to control his condition, and Fang Mu drank those pills one by one. Often after he drank so many medicines, he would become very loss of appetite.

The side effects of the drug, coupled with the reduced food intake, and his always tense nerves made him completely unable to perform the job of an actor.

During this week, Fang Mu has had problems on the set several times, sometimes forgetting his words, or being unable to enter the scene for a long time, and often getting stuck.

He seriously dragged down the progress of filming.

It took nearly ten times to shoot a very simple conversation. At this moment, Ren Xi finally said: "Fang Mu, I think you are not in a good condition. How about this? I will give you a few days off to rest and rest." , adjust and come back.”

The staff on the set all showed expressions that the day had finally come.

The gaze that fell on Fang Mu couldn't tell whether it was sympathy or disgust, or gloating like watching a play, or both.

Ren Xi's words are enough to make people think too much, but at such a critical moment, Ren Xi made another phone call.

"Changing roles? Who said that?" Ren Qi frowned, listening to the words of the manager of the actor who had worked with him on the phone, and just about to say something, he began to realize that the occasion of his speech was very inappropriate.

He got up and left the set, and lowered his voice on the phone.

Ren Qi's words seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. Fang Muna pretended to be fine since he started filming, and continued to come to the set with a cheeky face, insisting on his obsession to persevere and finish his last movie. The spirit is completely broken.

At that moment, Zang Lanbai even had an auditory hallucination, hearing the sound of something breaking in Fang Mu's body.

The straightened back finally relaxed slowly, and the shoulders slumped.

When he was leaving, Ren Yi's face changed a few times, as if he wanted to say something to Fang Mu, but for some reason, he held back in the end and didn't say anything.

When Zang Lanbai and Fang Mu left the set, they bumped into Ren Qi who had returned from talking on the phone. Ren Qi told them, "Be careful on the way back."

Zang Lanbai nodded and said, "Okay."

In fact, he also thinks that Fang Mu should take a good rest. The work intensity on the set is very high, which is too much for Fang Mu who has difficulty concentrating.

Zang Lanbai comforted him while walking, "Why do you have such an expression? Director Ren didn't say he would replace you. Now take a good rest for a few days and don't think about anything else."

Fang Mu tilted his head on the co-pilot's seat, his eyes were dull, wondering if he had listened to Zang Lanbai's words.

After the car drove for about ten minutes, Zang Lanbai vaguely understood the meaning of Ren Qi's words "be careful on the road", and he began to notice that there was a car following them behind him.

It may be the paparazzi. After so many days of fermenting public opinion about Fang Mu, the voice of discussion on the Internet has become very intense.

As for Fang Mu himself, he only posted a statement on Weibo about "things are not as you imagined" without any content or actual evidence. Let alone passers-by, those sporadic fans did not buy his account .

At this time, the news about the change of roles in "Half Bay Mid-Moon" came out. It can be said that there is no doubt that a scandal-ridden star like Fang Mu will be replaced at this time. Loss is.

I don't know from which marketing account this kind of news came from, but many people believed it, and some even said, why is the movie "Half Bay Mid-Moon" so accident-prone, first it changed the director, and then it took half a year to film the protagonist Another scandal like this.

People like Fang Mu who are on the cusp of the storm are naturally the ones the paparazzi should keep an eye on now.

Zang Lanbai couldn't help feeling a little uncontrollable irritability, he could only turn around, circled the city a few times, confirmed that he finally got rid of the car following them, and they returned home.

Counting the time, Zang Lanbai hasn't cooked at home and had dinner with Fang Mu for a long time.

Time was tight on the set, and Fang Mu couldn't do without people, so the two of them could only eat the crew's order there.

"I'll cook fish for you tonight, okay? It's been a long time since I tasted it. If you want to eat, you can order." Zang Lanbai stroked Fang Mu's head, seeing that he didn't make a sound, his mood was extremely depressed, and he didn't say anything. Forced him, only gently pushed him to let him go back to the bedroom: "Go take a bath and lie on the bed to rest for a while, and I will call you when I prepare the meal."

After Zang Lanbai pushed him twice, Fang Mu paused for a few seconds, and then returned to the house in a daze like a machine with a bad circuit.

There are not many fresh ingredients at home, so Zang Lanbai ordered someone to deliver them from his mobile phone. Fortunately, his cooking skills have not declined.

He finished three dishes and one soup efficiently, then took off his apron, and went back to the bedroom to call Fang Mu.

Pushing the door open and entering, Fang Mu was lying on the corner of the bed crying with wet hair.

Zang Lanbai walked over, squatted down, and touched his head: "It's good to cry."

Hearing his voice, Fang Mu raised his eyes and looked at him with red eyes from crying: "I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I can't hold on anymore...I always can't do anything well. I'm really... really bad."

"Say sorry for what? It's not your fault." Zang Lanbai said softly.

But he didn't expect Fang Mu to stand up as if he was very emotional. He fixed his eyes on Zang Lanbai, as if he really wanted to get a correct answer from him.

"It's not my fault, really isn't it? Then why...why did I suffer from this?" Fang Mu asked him anxiously, and before Zang Lanbai could answer, he continued: "Xu Duming I once raised a person who looked very similar to me in front of me, and he often let me kneel aside to watch them have fun, he was very gentle to him, generous and pampered." Fang Mu's red eyes looked at Tibetan Lan Bai: "Obviously...it's right in front of his eyes, but he wants me to see the substitute he found, what kind of enjoyment I should have, and he said that all this is because I ask for trouble , I don’t forgive, I insisted on fighting against him, so I ended up bleeding, and he said it was all my fault.”

"I did something wrong, so I have been receiving punishment." Fang Mu's eyelashes trembled, and his hand holding Zang Lanbai suddenly tightened.

"If...if I hadn't tried to expose him beyond my reach, if...if I hadn't been stubborn, if...if I hadn't insisted on catching you and wanted to act in a movie, then or everything today It won't happen..." Fang Mu choked up as if he couldn't bear it suddenly.

Zang Lanbai's eyes have changed since he heard Fang Mu say that Xu Duming once found someone similar to Fang Mu to keep him by his side. That despicable and selfish man can be so cruel, killing people and killing people.

It seems to be telling Fang Mu in this way that he is just a plaything that can be replaced at any time, and he keeps instilling in Fang Mu the idea that it is all his fault, over and over again, under Fang Mu's resistance, he does more and more. Severe punishment, telling him that everything he suffered was due to his own choice.

That's why Fang Mu apologized so easily, as if as long as he humbly buries himself in the soil first and doesn't touch anyone's feet, others won't bother him anymore.

Zang Lanbai suddenly felt a sense of suffocation in his heart, as if his heart was being held by something, making every beat of the heart painful.

He looked at Fang Mu, at those almond eyes with tears streaming down their eyelashes.

Suddenly I really want to ask, how many times have you experienced it, it seems that when you lift your foot, every step you take will fall into unknown evil.

How long will the nightmare that can't be shaken off by opening and closing eyes follow like a shadow? This black wave coming from all directions seems to overwhelm people.

But it shouldn't be like this.

Zang Lanbai looked into Fang Mu's eyes, he stretched out his hand to hold Fang Mu's cold hand, and told him firmly, "No, it's not like this, and none of this is your fault." He approached Fang Mu: "There are so many things in this world where you don't hurt anyone but you are hurt. If he hurts you, he hurts you. There is no reason, because there is no price to pay. If you want to hurt, you will hurt. Don't ask him why he got hurt later. When I didn’t get an answer, I started to question myself, as if I had hit a wall from him, so under his constant accusations, I began to really doubt myself, what did I do wrong to be treated like this.”

Zang Lanbai grabbed his wrist and stared into his eyes: "Maybe there is no answer, he can't answer it, you just want to ask, evil for no reason, and sudden greed, what do you want?" Answer?"

Fang Mu was stunned after hearing these words, paused for a few seconds, blinked his eyes, and said, "Will he let me go if I don't ask?"

"Am I too greedy? Is death the only relief?"

Zang Lanbai seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a word to refute. Compared with Fang Mu, the pain he had experienced before began to become insignificant.

Changing places, can he live strong? If he can't do it himself, and even admits that death is easier, then how should he face Fang Mu's inquiry and treat him as a life-saving medicine? eyes.

Zang Lanbai held his hand, the cold temperature was finally warmed by himself, he said: "I will be by your side, you still have me, believe me..., in the future..."

Suddenly Zang Lanbai couldn't continue talking, will it be better in the future?

Just like the birthday surprise he had prepared for Fang Mu with all his heart, but he indirectly maximized the damage. Originally, Fang Mu didn't have to face those abuses and insults.

But is this incident his own fault?

Zang Lanbai began to gradually understand Fang Mu. When a person does something, makes a decision, and incurs worse consequences, the number of times is too many, and one day he will doubt himself.

Before Zang Lanbai finished speaking, Fang Mu seemed to be very satisfied. He put his arms around Zang Lanbai's neck, and in Zang Lanbai's arms, he said, "It's okay."

He understands why Zang Lanbai didn't finish his sentence, just like Zang Lanbai also understands what he means by his endless sentence "it's okay".

He was saying that fortunately Zang Lanbai didn't say anything, everything will be fine in the future, and all these things will pass.

Because they all know very well that these are impossible to pass, and they cannot pass.

Zang Lanbai belongs to the person who makes every sentence sound like a beautiful lie, but he can do it every time. He doesn't say things that are not sure.

Just like he said to try with Fang Mu, just to try, not "definitely" or "forever", just like he wasn't sure it would be better in the future, so he would swallow the words as he spoke them.

But Fang Mu felt that it was okay, it would be terrible if he said it.

The hope born out of hopelessness is like a curse. It is more painful to hang a person who is determined to die half-dead.
