let him fall

seems satisfied with him.Mu Nianbai was full of joy, and immediately told Chu Ji the news.

"Shooting for a year?" Chu Ji frowned.

"Yes, because I have to go to more than ten countries to shoot scenes, but I think it would be nice to go to other places." Mu Nianbai was very excited.

"What about me?" Chu Ji's words made Mu Nianbai stunned for a moment.

Chu Ji looked at him quietly, the usual tenderness in his eyes disappeared, and he just whispered: "You want to leave for a year, what about me?"

Mu Nianbai panicked, "I'm sorry...I..." He hesitated for a long time, but he still couldn't say something like rejecting the movie.He has been looking forward to it for too long, and it is his dream to be able to participate in the filming.

Chu Ji smiled, and patted his head lightly, "It's okay, after all, you've been waiting for so long."

Chu Ji's thoughtfulness moved Mu Nianbai very much, and made him feel even more guilty.

But things soon turned around.

The director team called to tell him that he was rejected, and the investors thought he was not suitable for the role.

"...um...it's okay...thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Nianbai sat in the room blankly.

Chu Ji came in with a glass of fruit juice, looked at his frustrated look, and asked, "Nianbai, what's wrong?"

Mu Nianbai forced a smile: "The director of "The Way of the Walker" told me that I was rejected... Actually, that's pretty good, we won't be separated for so long."

"Nianbai..."

Mu Nianbai lowered his head, tears welling in his eyes. The original "Xingzhe Road" is his favorite work. He has read it dozens of times, and he is definitely a hardcore fan.It's hard to describe the excitement and frenzy of knowing that "The Way of the Walker" could be filmed.But now, everything has become a bubble.

Chu Ji sat beside him and said, "Although you may be unhappy when you say this, I'm actually very happy that you don't take pictures."

Mu Nianbai looked at him in surprise.

Chu Ji said: "I'm not as perfect as the outside world said. If Nian Bai wants to leave, I will be very sad. Now that you stay, I am actually very happy." He smiled wryly, "I am very despicable."

Mu Nianbai suddenly felt very guilty. He had always only cared about himself and hadn't seriously thought about Chu Ji's feelings.Because of the mature and stable performance of the other party, the real mood of the other party is ignored.

"Sorry……"

"I don't want to hear your apology." Chu Ji rubbed his hair, "Let's go on a trip after the filming is over, and just take it easy."

"okay."

Mu Nianbai looked at Chu Ji, and felt that if he could meet Chu Ji, he must have saved the Milky Way in his previous life.

A few days later, Mu Nianbai participated in an event, and there were a few popular young students participating in the event.

While putting on makeup backstage, one of the young men said to Mu Nianbai: "They said you have a good relationship with Brother Chu recently?"

Mu Nianbai glanced at him, not knowing what the other party meant.

The young man said mockingly, "Brother Chu is a nice person, but don't take yourself too seriously."

The other party's tone made Mu Nianbai very uncomfortable, he didn't want to speak, but he didn't expect this to fuel the young man's arrogance.

"I heard that you were the one who was chosen for "The Way of the Walker." He was a little proud, "But I was chosen in the end. If it wasn't for Brother Chu's recommendation, I wouldn't have thought that I would be able to take on this drama..."

"What did you say?!" Mu Nianbai stared at him.

The young man was taken aback by him, and immediately regained his complacency, "So, don't think Brother Chu really cares about you, it's just being polite."

The young man's words kept echoing in his mind, Mu Nianbai's poor performance throughout the event, online black fans criticized him, but Mu Nianbai didn't care anymore.What he cares about is... is what the other party said true?Was it because of Chu Ji that he lost his chance?

Chapter 9

【CHAPTER-9】

Mu Nianbai hesitated for a while looking at the business card that Ren Wei left last time, and finally made a call.

They meet at a coffee shop.

Ren Wei looked more haggard than the last time we met, and the heavy makeup only made her pale face more sickly.

The first thing Ren Wei said was: "Did you believe what I said last time?"

Mu Nianbai bit his lip and said nothing.

Ren Wei took a sip of coffee and told the story between her and Chu Ji.

Five years ago, Chu Ji was just a gangster working in a restaurant and owed a lot of debts.Ren Wei discovered him and took him on the road of actor.

"Chu Ji's background is naturally not good, so I made up that he came back from studying abroad, and the company didn't even know about it." Ren Wei sneered, "Chu Ji is a wolf-hearted man, in order to stop my mouth, set up He laid a trap for me to misappropriate assets, and finally came out to pretend to be false. Even if I came out to tell the truth, with the image he created, no one would believe me."

Ren Wei stirred the coffee and said, "I'm ready to go abroad, I hope he can let me go." She looked at Mu Nianbai, "But you have to be careful, Chu Ji is a bad wolf."

After bidding farewell to Ren Wei and leaving the cafe, Mu Nianbai looked at the sky, a little dazed.He couldn't believe that Chu Ji, who was so gentle, would hide such a vicious heart.Even standing in the sun, he felt cold all over, as if his blood had been frozen.

"Nian Bai, you are avoiding me, why?"

Mu Nianbai avoided Chu Ji's gaze and said, "I haven't."

Today is the last scene of "Let Him Fall".Chu Ji's mother was seriously ill and begged Mu Nianbai to leave, Mu Nianbai chose to break up with Chu Ji.

It's winter now, and it's even colder at night.

Mu Nianbai and Chu Ji stood under the lamp.

"Let's break up." Mu Nianbai said.

He looked at Chu Ji, and it seemed that this sentence was not just a line.Chu Ji realized something, and grabbed Mu Nianbai who was about to leave, his hand was tightly squeezed, and Mu Nianbai felt a little pain.

Chu Ji's voice was hoarse: "Don't go."

"sorry."

Mu Nianbai broke off Chu Ji's fingers one by one, turned around and left without a single pause, but with his back to Chu Ji, he looked very painful, biting his lips, tears in his eyes.

This performance far exceeded the director's expectations.After shouting "CUT", he kept praising the two people.

During the break, Mu Nianbai walked to the vending machine and bought a cup of hot coffee, holding it in his hand, his cold fingertips warmed up little by little.After a while, another person came over, it was Chu Ji.

"Nianbai, we are still doing well, right?" Chu Ji looked at him with a smile, but there was anxiety in his tone.

"Sorry……"

"Why?" Chu Ji's voice trembled.

""Xingzhe Road"..." Mu Nianbai looked at him, "Is it you?"

Chu Ji froze for a moment, it was the first time Mu Nianbai saw him so flustered, "I'm sorry, Nianbai, I just don't want you to leave me..."

"How much more?" Mu Nianbai looked at him, "How many times did you do such a thing before I knew it?"

Chu Ji was completely stunned.

"Sorry, I don't think we're a good fit."

Mu Nianbai didn't see Chu Ji at the finale afterward, and he didn't see Chu Ji again until the premiere five months later. He was still very handsome and handsome.

The positions of the two people were arranged together, the lights dimmed, and the movie began to show.When the screening came to an end, the character played by Mu Nianbai left, and the character played by Chu Ji stood alone and watched the other party's back disappear. There were already many weeping in the venue.

Mu Nianbai once asked Director Chen what "Let Him Fall" meant.Director Chen took a drag on his cigarette and paused for a long time before answering.

"The two of them are like flying a kite. One person lets go, but for the other, instead of flying, it falls."

The lights were restored, and the leading actors and directors took the stage to give speeches.Mu Nianbai couldn't help turning his head to look at Chu Ji, his expression was calm, but there was no wave in his eyes.Mu Nianbai suddenly thought, did he get to know this person seriously?His so-called liking is just enjoying blindly. Has he ever paid anything for Chu Ji?

At the end of the premiere, Chu Ji bid farewell to everyone and was about to get in the car to leave, but Mu Nianbai stopped him.

"can we talk?"

There was a flash of wavering in Chu Ji's eyes, but it dissipated immediately, and he smiled and said, "Sorry, I still have things to do."

Mu Nianbai watched the car disappear at the corner of the street, and after a while, he felt his phone vibrate and received a message.

Chu Ji: Nianbai, your actions are correct, so don’t feel sorry.What I have done is far beyond your imagination, and the tenderness and consideration you like are nothing but the illusion of my disguise.You may think that you liked me first, but in fact, I designed it bit by bit to lure you, and the many unexpected coincidences that happened after that were all designed by me... Do you think I am scary?Even I feel it myself.But you don't have to worry, I won't appear in front of you again.

After Chu Ji sent the message, he clicked on the movie on the tablet, and it was "A Dream of Swords and Rivers". In it, Mu Nianbai had a green face, but his eyes were firm and dazzling.

Chu Ji freezes the frame, stretches out his fingers to stroke Mu Nianbai's face in the frame.It is as dazzling and warm as the sun, maybe it is because I am dark and cold that I yearn for such light.Be it Ren Wei or others, they looked at him full of greed and desire, treating him as a puppet or a tool.Only Mu Nianbai, he wants to have such clean eyes.

But, it's all over...

Chapter 10

【end】

Chu Ji didn't expect to see Mu Nianbai again under such circumstances.

Mu Nianbai lay on the tree with his head covered in leaves, and smiled awkwardly.

The security guard was still angrily scolding the illegal intruder under the tree. When the security guard was about to call the police, Chu Ji stopped him.

"he is my friend."
