Chapter 72 Leon comes to the crew

"Why is there no fire as soon as I put something in?" Fang Xin scratched his head in confusion, looking puzzled.

Grandma laughed twice and then sat on a small stool nearby. "The fire isn't even burning yet. Anything you put in it will burn out."

So that's what happened. Fang Xin looked at the stove which was burning brightly. The water inside would soon boil, but his grandmother didn't leave, as if she was waiting for him.

"It's getting late, grandma, don't you want to go to bed first?"

"It's okay, I'll wait. Usually they're asleep, but it's lively now that you're here." Grandma held her crutch with one hand and put the other hand on her knee, occasionally putting some firewood into the stove.

Grandma looked very lonely, but at this moment her face was filled with a kind smile. Fang Xin always thought it was his own grandma.

"Well, I'll stay with you for a while." Fang Xin was not in a hurry to boil water, even though she had to get up early tomorrow morning to film.

An old man and a young boy sat in front of the stove. The dim light flickered in the dark kitchen. The warm orange-yellow light of the fire flickered on the two people's bodies and faces. For a moment, the whole room was silent, with only the crackling sound of burning firewood.

"Grandma, why don't you live outside with the children?" Fang Xin asked in a soft voice with a gentle look.

Grandma clenched her cane with her old joints and said, "What's so good about living out there? It's not like home."

"At least you have your children with you, so you won't be lonely."

"After I'm gone, the old man in my family will rest here alone forever." Grandma looked lonely.

Fang Xin suddenly realized what was going on. He pinched his leg and reminded himself not to talk nonsense.

"Then I will pick you up to go out and play in the future, and you can come back whenever you want!" he said seriously.

Grandma laughed and waved her hands, "Forget it, forget it. My children don't care about me, why do you care so much?"

As he spoke, he slowly stood up. Fang Xin hurriedly stood up and supported the old man, "Please go slowly."

"You young people don't need to worry about me, an old lady. I'm very happy that you can come here." Grandma said as she walked out. Her slightly shrunken figure left only a sad back.

Once the times develop, it is the children and the elderly who suffer. Young people only need to let go and work hard, and there will still be someone waiting for them to return home.

There are always people who can't have children, just like Xu Shan in the script. There are also those who don't want to take care of their parents at home in order to settle down somewhere else. There are always a lot of such people.

There are many people who are worthy of their current families, but there are many who are not worthy of their parents.

Fang Xin quickly took a shower in the bathroom, which was not really a bathroom, and rushed back to the room.

I picked up my phone to check the time. It was half past nine.

Anmei was still awake at this time, but the signal in the mountains was very bad, and I didn't know if I could contact Anmei.

Fortunately, the signal is more stable today, so I can still say hello to Anmei.

"Auntie, what are you doing?" Fang Xin hid himself in the quilt. The temperature in the mountains was not comparable to that in the city. The rough linen left some red marks on his chin.

An Mei looked sharp, "I have nothing to do, but you, point the camera at your chin so I can take a look."

Fang Xin obediently aimed at his own jaw and was shocked to find that the skin in the camera had turned red.

"How did it happen?" Fang Xin wondered to himself, which made An Mei laugh.

An Mei kept asking on the other end, "Isn't there a pharmacy in the village? It's obvious that you have skin allergies. What is the material of your blanket? It would be terrible if you have an allergic reaction."

Reaching out and touching the quilt, Fang Xin found it was indeed a bit rough, but not enough to cause an allergic reaction. She told An Mei not to worry.

An Mei secretly took note of it and wrote down the allergy medicine in her memo, as she would definitely come in handy.

Due to signal problems, the two hung up the phone after not talking for long. Fang Xin hid in the quilt with only half of his head exposed. He stared at the ceiling in a daze.

I can’t explain it. I’ve been away from City A more than once or twice. I always feel that the village is not as fun as City A. Fortunately, my grandma is there to keep me company and talk to me more.

Lu Ziyan and Xu Xu had the most scenes in the crew this time, and they spent a lot of time together, so he naturally became the one left alone.

Fortunately, Lu Ziyan did not completely forget about him and ran over to find him while Xu Xu was taking a shower.

"I'm really puzzled! He and I are not that familiar with each other, but he always drags me into everything he does!" Lu Ziyan and Fang Xin hid in the quilt together, their eyes filled with resentment.

Fang Xin couldn't help but laugh at the resentful expression. Lu Ziyan was stunned for a long time. Perhaps he was not used to seeing Fang Xin with a gloomy face today.

"He and you are both the protagonists, so of course you are together in everything you do." Fang Xin blinked and consoled him, "Don't always be against him, after all, he invited us here."

Lu Ziyan pouted, "That's true, but I just don't like him always clinging to me, leaving me with no time... to play with you."

"We have been filming for quite a while. You should focus on filming now. I don't have a lot of roles. I will come to find you." Fang Xin patted Lu Ziyan, pursed her lips and nodded to indicate that it was okay.

Xu Xu came back very quickly, and Lu Ziyan immediately got out from under the quilt, "I heard the dog's voice, I'm leaving first!"

Fang Xin smiled helplessly and shook her head. As soon as Lu Ziyan left, the whole room became quiet again. It would be better for her to go to bed early.

Over the next two days, Fang Xin filmed scenes of her carefree playing in the village, either going to look for Wang Xizhaoyang or playing in the fields and catching katydids.

At dusk the next day, the sun set in the west, a hint of red appeared in the sky, the backlit mountains looked like an ink painting, and a few egrets returned home at the horizon.

A figure appeared at the other end of the path. He was tall and dressed fashionably.

"That's our stylist. I heard she's from City B."

"So tall! My heavenly love!"

"Don't even think about it. He's been out in public."

"Why do all good-looking men like other men now? What should we women do?"

Fang Xin listened for a while and didn't want to pay any attention to it. Before he could take a few steps forward, he heard an awkward yet familiar voice.

“Excuse me, is the crew of “Ebb and Flow” here?”

When he turned around unexpectedly, Leon and he looked into each other's eyes.

Rio was mesmerized by the face in the sunlight. His face seemed to be covered with a filter, his eyes were full of stars, and his lips were slightly parted in surprise.

Li Ang approached him infatuatedly, while Fang Xin took a few steps back like a frightened deer, "You..."

"Mr. Fang, nice to see you again." He gentlemanly took Fang Xin's hand and gave her a gentle kiss.

Fang Xin was so angry that he pulled his hand out and laughed awkwardly, "Hahaha..."

The other members of the crew looked at the two of them curiously, unable to hide their intrigued looks.

"From now on, I will be your stylist and makeup artist, and we will see each other often." Li Ang threw a wink at Fang Xin.

Fang Xin seemed to be petrified, freezing in place.

As for why Fang Xin was so at a loss, it was because he had never accepted anyone's pursuit! Never!

Leon's way of pursuing her was particularly passionate. After all, the girl was a foreigner, and he had no idea why she was favored just by filming an advertisement or even without talking to her much.

Fang Xin was extremely depressed and felt listless even when she returned to her grandmother's house.

Li Ang chattered happily beside him, talking about many things that happened after coming to City A, and even told Fang Xin that he had requested to be transferred here.

Fang Xin silently complained in her heart, "I already knew that you asked for it on your own initiative, and the crew also revealed a lot."

But he didn't expect that the person who came would be Leon. If he had known it was Leon, he would not have accepted the drama.

Li Ang seemed to see through his thoughts, "I came to City A just for you. I have the right to refuse this invitation."

The moment he looked at Leon in disbelief, Leon's heart sank for a moment, and he almost questioned his own charm.

Fang Xin laughed and said she wanted to go back to her room. Li Ang didn't force her, but just told her to remember to come down for dinner.

"Xinxin!" Lu Ziyan chased after her. He had just seen how clingy Li Ang was to Fang Xin. He looked like a big dog.

Fang Xin turned around in despair, "Zi Yan is here..."

Lu Ziyan pulled him into the room, "Isn't he the Li Ang who was madly pursuing you?"

"Yeah." Fang Xin nodded weakly, he looked distressed.

It doesn't matter if he is being pursued, but Leon is too enthusiastic and likes to exaggerate.

Ultimately, this made him feel uncomfortable. Now he probably knew that the whole crew was saying that Leon liked him. Thinking of this, he scratched his hair.

"It's okay, I'm here." Lu Ziyan patted Fang Xin, and Fang Xin couldn't help but dive into Lu Ziyan's arms, hugging Lu Ziyan for comfort.

Lu Ziyan paused, his hands raised in the air helplessly, and then he slowly landed on Fang Xin and patted her gently, "It's just being chased, why are you so scared?"

Fang Xin hummed in a depressed tone and did not answer.

Lu Ziyan served the dinner. He didn't dare to go downstairs to face Li Ang. Lu Ziyan said Fang Xin was not feeling well and did not come down to avoid infecting everyone.

Li Ang rushed to see Fang Xin as soon as he heard it, but Lu Ziyan was quicker than him, "Mr. Li Ang! Xin Xin is sick, so why are you going to bother him?"

Lu Ziyan walked in front of him with a bowl in his hand, his eyes sharp, "Xinxin doesn't like Mr. Li Ang's behavior. He doesn't even dare to come down because of it. Don't you reflect on it?"

Anyway, regardless of whether Leon understood or not, he went upstairs. Leon stood there without moving, looking like he was thinking.

Fang Xin had no scenes to film the next day, so she wanted to stay in her room the whole day.

There was a knock on the door, and he asked tentatively, "Who is it?"

"It's me, my old lady." Grandma's hoarse voice sounded outside the door. Fang Xin hurriedly opened the door and saw grandma holding a bowl of rice in her hand.

"Grandma, why did you come up here?" Fang Xin helped his grandma in and sat her down. He looked at the door and quickly closed it.

"If I don't come up, you might not show up for the whole day." Grandma handed the bowl in her hand to Fang Xin. Fang Xin was also hungry, but she still ate in small bites.

"Tell me, what's wrong?"

As an experienced person, he can always find clues. Fang Xin swallowed a mouthful and looked away, "Nothing, I just feel uncomfortable."

"You're not feeling well, but you're still running barefoot to open the door for me? I don't believe it."

Fang Xin blushed, "Grandma!"

"Actually, I've heard a lot about this. Even if you don't like someone, but they love you, why can't you face it calmly? Being evasive is not what a man should do." Grandma spoke sincerely, and Fang Xin was relieved.

"Grandma, you...don't you think it's weird to have two men together?" Fang Xin looked at his grandma tentatively, his hands clasped together nervously.

"There's nothing strange about it. As long as you're happy, any choice you make is good." Grandma touched Fang Xin's messy hair and smoothed it for him. "The premise of avoiding is that you have tried to solve it, but failed. You are allowed to escape temporarily. If you run away without even trying, people will look down on you."

Fang Xin seemed to understand, but she seemed to understand a lot more in her heart.
