He Zhijin took him back to the bedroom, let him lie on the bed, and sat on the floor with his back against the bed.
"Senior, do you want to tell me?" Jing Zuhuai lay on his side and looked at his back. He really wanted to know about him, but if he didn't want to talk, he wouldn't force him. He knew it was uncomfortable to have his past exposed, and he didn't want to see his unhappy side. "Or let it go, I..."
"Don't you want to know about my past?"
It was impossible not to know. Jing Zuohuai wanted to know everything about him even in his dreams. In fact, he could find out something with a little investigation, but he didn't want to. He didn't want to use any tricks to understand his privacy. He always felt that doing so would make him seem a little despicable.
"Let me think about it, where should I start?" He held the toy with small ears in his hand. This was the first toy Jing Zuohuai bought for him. He pinched it unconsciously in his hand. "Actually, there's not much to say. I learned from a master since I was a child, and then entered the entertainment industry."
"You've also heard from Master's wife that, as for me, since our two families live close to each other and we visit each other frequently, Senior Sun saw some promise in me and offered to teach me some acting skills. Coincidentally, the crew he was working on was short of a child, so he let me try out. After that, he took me to the crew every winter and summer vacation."
He Zhijin said, with a smile on his face, the kind of smile that was very happy. "I thought it was very interesting at the time, and gradually I gained a lot of people who liked me. That period was really the happiest time of my life."
But suddenly there was a change, his expression became a little lonely, "Then, some small problems occurred..."
It was summer vacation at the time, and I was still filming a movie. Suddenly, I heard my wife call Teacher He's assistant and say that my grandmother was sick. After telling Teacher He, he took me back home.
After going to the hospital for a checkup, I found that I had some heart problems, but it was nothing serious. I just needed to get prompt and active treatment. However, the cost was a problem. I didn't have much money at the time, so it was Senior Sun who paid for the treatment.
He Zhijin was in adolescence at that time and owed his master so much money. His only relative was sick and needed to take medicine all year round, which was another considerable expense.
The boy's self-esteem felt insulted and he didn't know how to face the teacher.
Chi Yang had approached him at the time, and the terms were reasonable. Since he was in a boy band, he could work on the set after school and could either secure resources himself or ask the company for help. He Zhijin, anxious to repay his mentor, signed a contract with Chi Yang.
When Senior Sun found out, they had a huge argument, arguing that he shouldn't give up his dream for a small gain. By then, Senior Sun's family had already moved away, and He Zhijin, still struggling to communicate, felt he had done nothing wrong. After the Master moved away, their interactions decreased, and eventually they all stopped.
I set aside time to prepare for the Gaokao (National College Entrance Examination), and luckily, my final score was quite good. Later, due to company arrangements, I had no time to attend school until my sophomore year. My student status remained intact, and it remains so to this day.
At the time, I hadn't yet transitioned to a new role, and the group wasn't quite there yet. Later, after studying, He Zhijin became interested in music, and his online fans wanted to meet him, so he decided to organize a small livehouse. After discussing this with the management at the time, they agreed, allowing him to say goodbye to his fans.
The location and venue were both arranged by the company. He Zhijin remembers that there were a lot of older sister fans and mother fans who came at that time. It was very spectacular and the scene was very beautiful.
But just as I was about to go on stage, my grandmother passed away. The news came from a call from the nanny who was taking care of my grandmother in the hospital.
On one side was his dream, and on the other was his family. He Zhijin was in a difficult situation, but he had no choice but to abandon his fans and go to the hospital. It was also raining heavily at the time, and the roads were very congested. He got out of the car halfway and ran to the hospital in the rain.
Because he died suddenly of a heart attack, He Zhijin did not see him for the last time.
After finishing his business here, He Zhijin went home to pack his grandmother's things. He picked up his phone and looked at his apology letter. He saw the comments below, some comforting, some insulting, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. He flipped through the photos the stage manager had taken of the venue for the missed appointment, and tears welled up in his eyes. He squatted on the ground and cried.
He took out his guitar and played a song he wrote over and over in the empty room. After recording it, he posted it online as a small token of his apology to his fans.
When everyone gathered together, they formed the Sparkler boy group.
"After we formed a group, I realized it wasn't as easy as I thought." He Zhijin looked at the ceiling light with a sense of loss. "My class schedule was very full at the time, and it wasn't that easy. I was still very tired after training all day, and I had no time to go to the crew. So many directors who came to me withdrew. After I stabilized, no director wanted to use me anymore."
"Don't you feel it's a pity?" Jing Zuohuai said softly.
He Zhijin just shook his head and said, "It's okay. My friends and I all went through the same thing at the time, so I think it's okay." He suddenly felt a little relaxed and said, "Fortunately, after we formed the boy group, everything went smoothly for everyone."
"That period was actually quite enjoyable. I got to know more about the boy band system, learned a lot, and met many industry leaders. More importantly, I learned teamwork and took on the responsibility of being a captain."
Listening to him, Jing Zuohuai could imagine him full of vigor and vitality at that time. Combined with the fact that he had been quietly following him online at the time, he had a picture of him in his mind.
"Actually, when we first formed the boy band, I was numb," He Zhijin said. "Because my heart was full of mixed feelings, I couldn't calm down. After all, I still felt a lot of regrets at the time, and I felt very depressed."
"Gradually, I developed a cool personality."
Jing Zuohuai listened to him and realized that these were things he had never known.
"I later learned about you through my teammates." He Zhijin looked at Jing Zuhuai lying on the bed through the clean glass. He smiled gently, "Actually, I heard about you from my teammates at the beginning, but I didn't pay much attention at the time because they mentioned it countless times every day. Later, they showed me your photo, and you know what? I was attracted by your clean, sunny aura at first sight, and I became your fan after that."
Jing Zuohuai's Weibo posts are quite interesting, like he has two accounts. He juggles work and daily life. His fans on the work side mostly retweet and show their support. His daily posts get a lot of comments, and the atmosphere is like good friends, joking and bantering.
The kid is really interesting. His albums are mostly filled with photos of cats and dogs, but there are also some ordinary moments and clips of him complaining about himself. Even though he's a celebrity, he doesn't put on airs at all.
He admitted that he liked Jing Zuhuai, it was love at first sight, it was because of his beauty. But he couldn't do it at that time. Later, when he heard Jing Zuhuai confessing his feelings to him with tears in his eyes, and almost breaking down, begging him not to quit the circle, He Zhijin really wanted to abandon everything, turn around and hug him, and directly say that he liked him too, just openly!
But no, he didn't have the courage to do so recklessly, and he didn't have the strength to fight back.
