Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Use my phone to watch you and other men...

Although there are various speculations from the audience and fans will control the reputation of the original star for the sake of word of mouth, there is still no solid evidence of "discord between Yan and Lu" and it is impossible to verify.

——Because the source of their discord can be traced back to before their debut.

Everyone knows that Lu Yanxi is a second-generation star.

His father is the renowned national actor Lu Fengjun, a witness to decades of film and television development. He is considered a textbook example of acting in the industry and is now considered a highly respected figure. Countless people grew up watching Lu Fengjun's works, and Lu Yanxi's entry into the industry is undoubtedly a result of his father's influence.

Actually...Yan Pei is also one of them.

Back then, children whose families had some connection with the entertainment industry had a common circle. Lu Yanxi and Yan Pei were in it, and they were even the two most popular ones.

However, Lu Yanxi had strict family education and seldom attended gatherings, so Yan Pei became the boss.

As for the root of the rift between the two—

Seven years ago, Yan Pei cheated Lu Yanxi's boyfriend away from her.

And the boy's name is Xu Lin.

*

Yan Pei knew that Lu Yanxi often called Xu Lin "Axue".

The first time he heard these two words was at a gathering in his circle. He usually acted flamboyantly, surrounded by celebrities, but that time, almost everyone gathered around Lu Yanxi, who arrived first.

"What are you talking about so lively?"

As he sat down, those people swam back like fish: "Brother Yan, Brother Yan, there's something wrong with Brother Lu!"

Yan Pei raised his eyebrows, becoming interested: "What's going on?"

"What else could it be? Of course it's that—"

The younger brother made faces and gestures.

"Ah, Xue~ Listen to the name, it's a friend, it must be a girl. Brother Lu wants to buy her a birthday present and asked if we have any recommendations."

Yan Pei captured several key words.

He looked at Lu Yanxi, who was responding to people talking to her while fiddling with her phone to show them something, with a look of embarrassment on her face.

Yan Pei chuckled inwardly.

He has disliked Lu Yanxi for a long time.

Children like Lu Yanxi from other families are destined to be the superior control group for these undisciplined children. Rather than looking for reasons, it is better to say that they are incompatible by nature. On the surface, because of the harmonious relationship between their parents, they probably look down on each other in private.

That’s amazing. Lu Fengjun doesn’t even allow him to drink, and doesn’t care about him having sex with women?

"Friends", huh, they are pretending to be righteous.

Yan Peisheng had a bad intention in mind. He coughed a few times, adjusted his expression, pushed those people away and sat down next to Lu Yanxi.

He pretended to be nice and said, "It's rare. This is the first time I see you worrying about this topic. It's no use asking them. They don't know shit. You should ask me."

"...Yan Pei," Lu Yanxi was a little surprised by his proactive approach, "Do you—do you have any suggestions?"

"It's simple, just give her some jewelry. Give her something she wears most often."

Lu Yanxi was inspired by something and took out the photo album to enlarge the photo: "He often wears necklaces. Is it appropriate for me to give him a necklace? Which brand is good?"

Yan Pei only saw part of the necklace on the screen.

He figured out something about it at first glance: an old red knot style, the pendant looked like a small bottle, and seemed to be silver-plated, but the color was not pure - the price was probably not even a fraction of his equipment, tut tut, an ordinary person.

But the collarbone looks pretty good under the necklace.

He had no patience: "Don't choose the brand, just buy the most expensive one."

How many of those who approach them are truly attracted to this person? They're just after the so-called "second-generation celebrity" halo, thinking they can become famous just by being a little bit related.

Lu Yanxi actually listened to it and nodded seriously.

However, when closing the album, he was careless and accidentally revealed the entire photo.

The action of shutting off was quick, but Yan Pei still saw the owner of the necklace.

Short hair, flat chest.

...is a man.

That "Axue" is a guy?!

Yan Pei's eyes widened for a moment, but when Lu Yanxi looked over, his expression had returned to normal.

But my heart was in turmoil.

It’s incredible, it’s incredible.

Lu Yanxi is——

Homosexuality.

In an instant, this conclusion flashed through his mind, and an irrepressible sense of schadenfreude came over him.

I didn't expect that after enduring the nausea and actively approaching her, I could still get such a big handle on her.

What if I tell Lu Fengjun...? No, no, I can't throw the handle out so quickly, otherwise what's the point of him playing?

Yan Pei's mood became more and more cheerful. He touched Lu Yanxi's cup and said, "We'll be friends from now on. If you still have any doubts, just ask me!"

…

This was the first time Yan Pei had an impression of "Axue" and his necklace.

Unexpectedly, seven years later, Cen Xue still kept it, just replaced the chain.

Unfortunately, Yan Pei cared too little about Cen Xue in the past. The meaning of snatching him from Lu Yanxi was more like taking away someone else's "toy".

Even though it was his in his hands, inheriting the title would inevitably make him look inferior to Lu Yanxi. But every time he called her "Axue", he saw the image in her eyes gradually transforming Lu Yanxi into himself...

It feels pretty good.

Yan Pei didn't care about the origin of this nickname, he simply and trashily enjoyed the process of invasion.

As for the master's feelings, he didn't care.

Who would have known that Xu Lin would keep the word "snow" even if he changed his name.

This resulted in Yan Pei being unable to attack——

His previous indifference had become a self-inflicted consequence. He didn't know the significance of the necklace to Cen Xue, nor did he know the origin of her nickname. Every question he asked now seemed unreasonable, but that was the truth.

Faintly, a terrifying yet realistic thought flashed through my mind.

——'Then don't blame him for not choosing you.'

Is he... afraid?

Suddenly, a cold fire shot straight to the top of his head, burning two words in front of Yan Pei's eyes:

The left eye is filled with anger and shame.

The right eye is self-defeating.

His aggressive nature was born from the fear and anxiety he experienced day after day. Whenever these things appeared, it was Yan Pei's instinct to destroy them, but this time, he forcibly held back.

Because Cen Xue's provocation hit him so hard.

What he hates most is being "one step late".

I regret that I met Cen Xue a step too late, got Cen Xue a step too late, and even learned of his death a step too late.

The first chance last night was another step too late.

Yan Pei hated it so much that he bit his tongue with his back teeth, but he was also unwilling to show his fear. He seemed to be left there, choking and betting on whether Cen Xue would come back.

I'm going to force him to choose me this time.

Yan Pei thought pitifully, as if to self-abuse.

As if to prove something illusory.

*

Seeing that he really didn't move, Cen Xue looked at him in surprise.

“…”

It really makes me angry.

But it was also very difficult to hold it in. His skin flushed, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. However, his senses were still sharp, and he quickly caught Cen Xue's gaze. He saw Yan Pei's eyes choking, and he couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat. Oh my god—tears were about to burst out.

It's a pity that I can't even feel pity for him.

Yan Pei probably didn't sleep last night. The whites of his eyes were bloodshot, making him look more like he was having a manic episode.

If he continued like this, Cen Xue always had the illusion that hot steam would eventually come out of his head, like a rice cooker.

If you close your mouth, it will just heat up on its own.

Cen Xue looked at her watch. It had been exactly a quarter of an hour since she entered the room.

He let out a long breath.

"Give me the phone."

But before Yan Pei could answer, he picked up his phone.

The phone failed to recognize the face again and automatically jumped to enter the password. Cen Xue entered a string of numbers without thinking and entered the page smoothly. He paused, opened the app history and looked for those hot search posts.

Help! I spotted an old acquaintance in a new talent show. Isn't this the co-star from actor Lu's debut film? How did he end up like this?

Lu Yanxi's debut work is a family drama.

In the drama, he and his father played father and son, and at the time, the publicity was overwhelming with the saying "real father and son play fake father and son". This drama is still replayed on satellite TV every summer season, and has been rated as a classic work with several other works.

The first picture accompanying this post is a screenshot from the drama.

The background of the picture is in the classroom, with Lu Yanxi in the center, and his front left, which is slightly blurred due to the depth of field, is circled.

Picture 2 shows Cen Xue on her way to the dormitory. Fu Rouyun’s arm can be seen in the edge of the picture.

[This is it! It's the same person! Tell me I'm not seeing things!]

[Eye microscope? Even this can be revealed]

[No, you told me that my missing childhood husband has finally returned? ]

[Childhood Husband + 111111 I especially loved watching his parts back then… Although there was only one plot, and he was quickly set to transfer to another school and had no role, his injury scenes were really good. Who knows?]

[I understand you, I also felt that the battle where he got injured was particularly awkward, and later I found out that my XP was battle damage]

[Among the actors from that year, there is no follow-up news about him. I feel relieved to see that he is still alive and well.]

[Wait, this leaked image… is he going to Flash Revolution?]

If I remember correctly, wasn't Lu Yanxi invited to this talent show? Interesting, meeting again after so many years, their statuses are worlds apart. I wonder what she's thinking.

[Public execution]

[Some fans, please come down and take care of your parents’ damaged faces first.]

[Sigh, I really want to say that the second picture is authoritative in terms of appearance]

When I was little, I always sighed when watching dramas about how someone could be so lovable. I didn’t expect that they haven’t changed at all in seven or eight years. I feel like the chosen one is broken.

[He’s still participating in a talent show at the age of 25. I’m afraid he’s just trying to cash in on Lu Ge’s popularity. I hope we won’t see him selling merchandise in the live broadcast room at the end.]

[Momo, worry about your Yanxi first. She has nothing to do with you and yet she wants to make money from idols.]

…

…

Turning the pages further, there was a melee of jargons flying everywhere. Cen Xue could only spell "Yan Xi" as "Yan Xi", which was already the limit. No one told him that the outside world was progressing so fast.

Sorry, it turns out that the description of living in a cave on the top of a mountain is very objective.

Feeling relieved, Cen Xue put the phone back on the table.

He walked up to Yan Pei.

"Calm down?"

I placed him there on purpose just now so that he could adjust his condition.

Yan Pei said nothing, staring at him without raising his chin, revealing the bloodshot whites of his eyes and the dark blue lower eyelids that were very eye-catching.

Because he tilted his head, a red mole on his neck was exposed, rising and falling with his breathing.

To be classified, he has a dark complexion, sharp eyebrows, thick eyelashes, larger bones than skin, and deep facial features.

This involves a very philosophical question: you can easily reject a rubbish and dead ex-boyfriend, but it is difficult not to waver in front of a big dog with thick eyebrows, big eyes and tears.

"..." Cen Xue paused, wiping away the tears that were about to fall, and tapped the dark circles under his eyes, "Remember to take your medicine."

It's not a manic drug.

Yan Pei suffers from neurasthenia and has trouble sleeping.

It forms a perpetual motion machine with a bad temper.

I'm afraid the best times to sleep are when I'm with myself...

But what is there to be moved and remembered about sacrificing oneself to meet the needs of another person?

"I'm leaving."

He lowered his hand, turned, and walked out of the room.

Yan Pei covered his face, and his chest, which had calmed down, began to rise and fall violently again.
