Chapter 38 Chapter 38 "Then Wei Ran, do you want to talk now...

Three hours later, Wei Ran finished discussing the script with the director and screenwriter.

This is far from the script reading stage.

This time, Director Chen Ge felt the strong support from the capital and after he was 100% sure that there would be no changes in the composition of their team, he contacted the screenwriter, hoping that the screenwriter could combine Wei Ran's characteristics to make the male lead more charming.

That being said, they actually wanted the character to be more closely aligned with the actor, effectively tailoring it for Wei Ran.

But in fact, the screenwriter only saw Wei Ran through a video call, and he was already unable to take his eyes off this young man's handsomeness.

The hot search that Wei Ran was on a few days ago made the screenwriter feel a little uncomfortable, because the male protagonist he portrayed was a generation of hero.

Although the whole plot has ups and downs, and the hero is already down and out at the beginning, that feeling of strength and power must still be there.

He was very worried that Wei Ran would not be able to handle this role.

After all, most of the words used to describe Wei Ran online are "pale and weak", and now the entire network is looking for the other father of Wei Ran's child... What is going on?

This is also the reason why he agreed to join the video today.

The screenwriter teacher that Chen Ge found is quite experienced in the industry.

But screenwriters in the domestic entertainment industry have never had much say. The capital has decided on the male lead, and if the male actor really can't handle the role he wrote, he can only change it.

But just by looking through the camera and seeing Wei Ran sitting there straight, her dark eyes shining with determination, her temperament as beautiful as jade and orchid, the screenwriter felt that it was safe -

Regardless of whether he looks like a rough military general, at least he has the character of an important official.

This will definitely look even better in costume!

Afterwards, Wei Ran tried to play the role of the male lead.

Without makeup, he seems like a different person in the video. His gentle, handsome and honest face instantly changes into the "cunning, lazy, greedy and slippery" appearance of the male protagonist in the new script, but he does not look greasy. On the contrary, you can see the inner determination of the male protagonist from his eyes, suggesting that the external looseness is just acting.

A few simple eye expressions amazed the screenwriter, who immediately said that this was the male protagonist he had created and the script did not need to be changed!

Chen Ge straightened her back, but also felt a little embarrassed - she did not doubt Wei Ran's ability, but the recent online events had made the other members of the team a little shaken.

Chen Ge came up with this idea and let the other members of the team meet Wei Ran first.

On the one hand, it is to give everyone a reassurance and prove that her vision is not wrong; on the other hand, she can also lick the capital and create the illusion that this drama is tailor-made for Wei Ran, highlighting her team's attention to Wei Ran.

But unexpectedly, two years later, Wei Ran's acting skills have become even better, and there is no need for a "tailor-made" script at all. Instead, this "script-changing" plan that he set up seems a bit insulting to Wei Ran.

But Wei Ran didn't feel insulted.

And he is always kind and easy-going.

When the screenwriter shouted that there was nothing left to change, he smiled gently, turned the script to the middle page, and said, "Teacher, but I think there could be a small detail here to highlight..."

Afterwards, it was natural for several people to start discussing some small details of the script. This video conference became meaningful again, and Chen Ge's plan was not in vain.

Chen Ge looked at Wei Ran gratefully through the screen, and then joined in chatting about the script.

But the workload of perfecting the script was also huge. Even though there was no need to change anything for Wei Ran, it took several people more than two hours just to discuss some small loopholes and some interesting details that they thought of.

These are just a few scenes.

The screenwriter teacher was already excited by Wei Ran's words.

It is obvious that Wei Ran has been polishing the script word by word and is already familiar with the existing plot.

These few serious and responsible people finally got together. If it wasn't too late today, they would probably keep chatting.

Finally, at Director Chen's reminder, they simply agreed on a time to meet and chat next time, and then they said goodbye and logged off.

When Wei Ran turned off the video conference, half of her body was stiff, but her spirit was still excited.

He still likes acting.

I couldn't contain my excitement when I thought that I would be joining such a crew to film in just over a month.

Of course, he didn't forget himself. After turning off the device, Wei Ran quickly got up and went to the next room to look for Dudu.

The room Lin Luochen booked was a large suite with a living room outside. About an hour ago, Lin Luochen brought Dudu back without disturbing Wei Ran who was in a meeting. The two went straight back to the bedroom inside.

Wei Ran missed Dudu and was also worried about her own baby.

Aunt Wang didn't come with me this time when I came to W City, so Wei Ran is still worried...

When she opened the door, Wei Ran saw that Dudu was already asleep on the small bed.

After all, it is a parent-child room suite specially prepared by a luxury hotel, and the bed arranged for the baby is also very comfortable.

The short and thin Dudu, lying on his back in the crib, didn't take up much space. The baby was covered with a small blanket and the light above his head was off. Lin Luochen was sitting in the dark, looking at the computer with the help of a night light not far away, not knowing what he was looking at.

Seeing Wei Ran coming in, he raised his head.

Wei Ran felt a little embarrassed for a moment and whispered, "Why don't you turn on the light?"

Looking at electronic screens without turning on the lights is very harmful to the eyes. He said: "Just turn off the light on Dudu's side. He is not afraid of light when he sleeps."

Wei Ran subconsciously didn't want to trouble others, and even more so didn't want to delay others because of her own affairs, which made her feel guilty.

Lin Luochen understood what he meant, and felt even more upset. He closed the computer on his lap, stood up and walked towards Wei Ran without turning on the light.

"Dudu is my child too."

The light from the night light cast a shadow on Wei Ran by Lin Luochen.

Wei Ran was forced into a corner. He lowered his head a little uncomfortably and fell silent again.

...In his heart, Dudu is probably just his child, Lin Luochen thought.

Yes, from the beginning to the end, I didn’t participate in anything.

Lin Luochen still clearly remembers that Wei Ran said a few days ago: "Even if I can contact you at that time, I will not look for you."

But it turned out that Wei Ran lied.

There was no need for Wei Ran to lie. Wei Ran didn't like lying either.

Unless that memory is particularly bad for him, he will not hesitate to cover it up regardless of whether it is honest or not.

Lin Luochen had also verified it from his father—Wei Ran had indeed come to him when he was four months pregnant with Dudu.

But at that time, Wei Ran was brutally beaten back by the Lin family.

…

Lin Luochen couldn't imagine that scene.

Because as long as he put himself in their shoes, he would feel so heartbroken that he felt like he was suffocating.

——Wei Ran used to be such an arrogant person!

"Wei Ran."

Without caring about anything else, Lin Luochen opened his arms and hugged Wei Ran.

…

Wei Ran had already been forced into a corner by him, and there was no way she could escape, nor did she try to hide.

He couldn't understand why this person suddenly wanted to hug him.

...After learning about his relationship with Dudu, Lin Luochen became much more well-behaved.

If the Lin family's problems are not resolved, he will probably remain unruly forever.

So whether in the past or now, Lin Luochen is such a "positive" person. This has always made Wei Ran feel at ease.

Just like now, this hug is just a hug.

Although Wei Ran was puzzled, he did not resist. He even frowned slightly and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Did you encounter something unpleasant?"

Lin Luochen is now his main force in fighting against the Lin family and helping him take care of the children. Both publicly and privately, Wei Ran feels that he should comfort this person who is temporarily in the same boat with him.

Wei Ran's voice was very soft.

On the one hand, he was afraid of waking Dudu. On the other hand, they were so close and the room was so quiet that even the slightest breathing could be heard by each other.

Lin Luochen didn't say anything.

But she hugged him tighter.

Wei Ran felt that the other person's breathing became heavier.

It was a suppressed, deep breath, as heavy as carrying a mountain on one's back.

So he became even more confused.

After a long while, Lin Luochen finally said, "...Brother Ran, I really was in a car accident at that time."

“…”

Wei Ran's expression froze: "...Why are you suddenly talking about this...I already know this."

He really doesn't want to talk about the past anymore.

Then, his pale lips moved, and he said in a low voice, "I said I never blamed you..."

But Lin Luochen said: "If that accident hadn't happened then, no one would have been able to bully you."

Wei Ran: “…”

Lin Luochen was not making excuses for himself or asking for forgiveness.

What he was saying was that if he had been there at that time, no one would be able to bully Wei Ran.

I don't think you should forgive me just because I had an accident and you can't find me.

I just feel sorry for you because you didn't find me during that time.

He wanted to tell Wei Ran something, to comfort the person who had mustered up the courage to go back to him but was cruelly expelled by his family.

So he took the liberty of hugging him.

And here I solemnly told him: "Wei Ran, you will always have me, as long as I am still here."

“…………”

Wei Ran's hands hanging on both sides of her body shook violently.

Her long eyelashes were trembling desperately in the darkness, trying to stop some liquid from flowing out.

——Lin Luochen knew.

Although she didn't say anything, Wei Ran understood.

Lin Luochen knew that he had gone to look for him at that time and was kicked out by the Lin family.

But in fact, it is still just Wei Ran's business.

"It's okay, it's a small matter, forget it." Wei Ran moved his lips and spoke in a lower voice.

Tell it to both of them.

In the darkness, the gentle sheep voice slowly sounded:

"I did feel quite embarrassed at the time, but thinking back, I felt that I deserved that kind of treatment for having the nerve to go back to you."

"No, that's different..."

Wei Ran patted Lin Luochen. Perhaps it was because he couldn't see the other person's expression, or perhaps it was because after all his edges had been smoothed out, he no longer had the burden of being an older brother in front of this person. Wei Ran found that he didn't really care about losing face in front of the other person.

So he said in a more relaxed tone, "It's really okay, it's all over. But how are you recovering from the car accident?"

Wei Ran found that she had never asked the other party this question before.

Although he had asked Ji Yangyun to inquire about it, how could people like them have access to the medical records of the eldest grandson of the Lin family?

So he should really ask it himself.

Lin Luochen grabbed his hand.

Lin Luochen didn't know what to say after Wei Ran's casual interruption. But the heartache he'd felt that night wouldn't dissipate. He just held him, holding his hand, feeling the thin, fleshless figure beneath his palm, and he was even more reluctant to let go.

"Wei Ran, I'm willing to do anything you want to do to me."

"Um?"

"You can dump me or come back to me, I'm willing to do it. As long as you are happy."

“…”

Lin Luochen didn't know what he was saying. Perhaps the aftereffects of the car accident were still there, and his mind hadn't recovered yet. He babbled nonsense: "Whatever you do is fine, but don't blame yourself. I'm willing to do whatever you do..."

"Lin Luochen."

The other party changed into the tone of the little wolf dog from many years ago, and Wei Ran was very uncomfortable. Especially in such a dark environment, for a moment he couldn't even distinguish between the past and the present.

And Wei Ran is no longer the kind of person who would indulge himself in addiction.

Without leaving any trace, he took a deep breath and patted the other person again, this time gently pushing him away. Wei Ran said, "Don't feel sorry for me. Have you forgotten? I was the one who dumped you first."

Lin Luochen said, "Okay, then let me ask you again, did you really break up with me voluntarily in the beginning?"

"yes."

"You didn't lie?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to fall in love." Wei Ran said.

"Okay, then I don't need to listen." Lin Luochen said.

Wei Ran: “…”

Lin Luochen asked unexpectedly: "Then Wei Ran, do you want to talk now?"

Wei Ran: “…………”

In the end, Wei Ran did not answer the question of whether he wanted to fall in love now.

Lin Luochen didn't ask any further questions.

It seems that they are no longer in the stage of being in love, and any more talk would be hypocritical.

That night, Lin Yuanzheng boarded a plane back to Melbourne.

It was Lin Luochen who personally arranged and found someone to "send" him on the plane.

"After things are arranged here, I will go back and give an explanation to the old man." He said to his father.

Lin Yuanzheng realized that his son had become a different person during the days since he returned to China.

In the past, Lin Luochen was also aloof and sharp-tongued. Especially when making important decisions, he never needed to rely on or get close to anyone, and he was always so decisive.

But genius is always unkind.

In the past, Lin Yuanzheng was actually very satisfied with Lin Luochen's aloofness and indifference to worldly matters.

But now Lin Luochen seems to have become even more cold-hearted - he is no longer indifferent to family affection, but has a hostile attitude, and his attitude is so cold and hard that even his father feels unfamiliar.

And how many days had Lin Luochen only been back? Now the entire domestic market situation, the Lin family's connections, and even the people he could mobilize had all been "reformed" and controlled by him, Lin Luochen!

…His son became stronger.

So powerful that even his own father was frightened when he found out about it.

Realizing this, Lin Yuanzheng could do nothing but follow Lin Luochen's arrangements and return to Melbourne first.

The next morning, Wei Ran took Dudu to the hospital to visit Ms. Bai.

After the operation yesterday, Ms. Bai slept for a while. Later, the anesthetic didn't wear off and she was not conscious. She didn't say a word to Wei Ran and the others.

But after a night's rest, Ms. Bai is in much better condition today.

Wei Ran carried Dudu to his grandmother's bedside and talked to her. Then he pointed to the sofa and asked Lin Luochen to sit there. He pulled out a chair and sat beside the bed.

Ms. Bai had met Lin Luochen once yesterday, but she was groggy and had no memory of the situation. Seeing this tall, youthful-looking man following Wei Ran closely, Ms. Bai asked, "A Ran, who is this?"

"Auntie, I'm Wei Ran's friend."

Wei Ran didn't need to answer, Lin Luochen had already answered.

Lin Luochen didn't wear a suit today. Like Wei Ran, he wore a simple sportswear and jeans. He looked much more youthful than usual.

Ms. Bai smiled and was about to say that Wei Ran seldom brought friends back to see her in recent years, but then she suddenly remembered that Wei Ran himself seldom went home in recent years.

…

As an adoptive mother, she always owed Wei Ran something, so Ms. Bai didn't say or ask anything, but just asked Lin Luochen to eat fruit.

Wei Ran automatically picked up the knife to peel the apple.

Ms. Bai was too embarrassed to ask about Wei Ran's personal affairs, so she could only talk to her about her family: "The second son is asking for a divorce again, and I'm hurt this time, so I can't take care of them anymore."

Wei Ran had no idea what to do with Cao Hui.

He told her that Lin Luochen could send Ms. Bai back to Canada.

Ms. Bai's leg injury requires several months of recovery. If she stays here, not only will she no longer be able to help take care of the children, she might even become a burden.

Wei Ran knew that her adoptive mother wanted to go back to recuperate, so she took the initiative to offer it.

Ms. Bai didn't expect that Wei Ran's friend was so powerful.

"If that's the case, that's perfect. Ah Ran, don't ask your friends to spend the money. Our family will still pay for it."

"Auntie, you're welcome." Lin Luochen sat steadily on the sofa. Although he was still some distance away from the bed, his tone made people feel close. He said, "You are Dudu's grandmother. Dudu is my son. In that case, you are my aunt."

“……?” Ms. Bai was a little confused.

But she didn't miss the key point about his relationship with Dudu. She looked at Wei Ran in shock - to be honest, she didn't know who Dudu's other father was.

No matter how they questioned Wei Ran, she didn't say anything.

At that time, Wei Ran had no choice but to confess the fact that she was pregnant with Dudu to her adoptive parents. At that time, he still thought that he had to find a private hospital for the surgery.

Of course, the operation was not completed in the end, but when Dudu was born, I relied entirely on the care of my adoptive parents.

Wei Ran thanked him profusely for this, but even so, he never revealed the identity of the child's other father.

In the end, Ms. Bai and her husband did not dare to question Wei Ran too much.

They asked about the man's identity because they were worried that Wei Ran was cheated or bullied, but in the end, Ms. Bai blamed herself for not taking good care of Wei Ran.

At this moment, a man claiming to be Dudu's father appeared in front of him.

"Aran..."

"No, not really." Wei Ran denied it in front of her adoptive mother without even thinking: "He's just Dudu's godfather."

Wei Ran once complained to Ms. Bai about Dudu's love for finding godfathers.

When Ms. Bai thought of this, she couldn't help but relax and smiled again.

Dudu, who was sitting at the head of grandma's bed, didn't understand what was going on and kept blinking his big eyes like black grapes.

Lin Luochen: “…”

Lin Luochen didn't say anything. He wasn't surprised that Wei Ran didn't acknowledge him, so it didn't matter.

...It's really nothing.

He just frowned as he sat on the sofa with his knees bent.

Among the people present, Wei Ran, who flatly denied Lin Luochen's identity, was the most uncomfortable one.

But Wei Ran didn't say anything else. He just lowered his head in silence and continued to peel the apple.

Seeing his movements, Ms. Bai was surprised and curious and said, "Ranran has grown up. You were not good at this kind of delicate work before."

Wei Ran didn’t like peeling apples before, and he also didn’t like eating apple peels, so he rarely ate apples.

Speaking of which, the time when he ate the most apples was when Lin Luochen peeled the apples for him.

...As for why he can peel fruits so skillfully now, it was because he practiced on the set when he was a supporting actor and there was a scene that required it.

…

Wei Ran buried her head even deeper.

In fact, Lin Luochen didn’t like peeling before.

Or perhaps the young master had never paid attention to such things in his life, and Lin Luochen didn't even have the concept of peeling.

So how and when did he start doing this?

Wei Ran found that she had never noticed it.

...After all, he still felt sorry for Lin Luochen.

It's not just about agreeing to be with the other person and then breaking up two days later.

But earlier... From the very beginning, he shouldn't have let the other party get close to him.

…

Perhaps because she was close to Ms. Bai, who had given her motherly love and care, Wei Ran has been subconsciously thinking of another person's face since today.

...It was a face that was equally gentle and would smile at him with tolerance, and also made him feel a kind face similar to maternal love.

That face looked very similar to Lin Luochen, and it was Lin Luochen's mother and Wei Ran's teacher.

The face in my memory was pale and weak in the end.

Wei Ran remembered that his teacher was sitting on the hospital bed like this that day and told him when he came to visit her, "Teacher has a terminal illness and won't live long."

The most embarrassing scene in Wei Ran's memory was when the teacher suddenly held his hand tightly and asked him, "A Ran, tell me honestly, are you with Luo Chen?"
