After the filming of the TV series was completed, Lu Wenxing went home to rest for a few days. Xu Rong did not give him any scripts for the time being, but helped him to get some endorsements and variety shows.
The endorsements Xu Rong got him were the ones that were on the hot search list before. Although Wen Zheng didn't say it, Lu Wenxing guessed that it was related to Wen Zheng.
"Oh, right. The day after tomorrow we're going to Country K to shoot the cover of VE's next quarterly magazine. I've asked Chen Che to book your flight. We'll leave at 3pm tomorrow. Is that ok?"
"no problem."
After Lu Wenxing hung up the phone, Ji Yuan came out of the kitchen with a fruit plate, "Are you going to work again? I thought you could rest for at least a month after filming this drama."
"I took a photo for a magazine cover and it was back in two or three days."
Ji Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, but then felt a little disappointed. Xingxing was found, but she was no longer old enough to need her company, and the time she had lost could never be made up.
The maturity and independence of Xingxing was what Ji Yuan found most difficult. Without her knowing, Xingxing was already able to face the storm on her own.
"Mom, eat some fruit."
Lu Wenxing picked up a piece of Hami melon with a fork and handed it to Ji Yuan's mouth.
“Is it sweet?”
"Sweet." Ji Yuan said with a smile, "When you were a child, you loved eating juicy fruits like watermelon and cantaloupe."
"I love it now too." Lu Wenxing took a bite of cantaloupe. "Mom, Sister Rong told me to take a month off in October. If big brother and dad have time, let's go on a family trip."
Ji Yuan's eyes lit up, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. "Okay, where does Xingxing want to go?"
"I haven't decided yet. Is there any place you want to go, mom?"
Ji Yuan was already happily reading the guide, and Lu Wenxing saw that her mood had improved, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Country K is located in the southern hemisphere, and it snows in July and August.
As soon as Lu Wenxing got off the plane, he put on the cotton jacket he brought with him. He was also wearing a short-sleeved shirt underneath. Fortunately, there was a car to pick him up after getting off the plane, so he could go straight to the hotel.
"I'll ask them to bring up some hot food. Would you like coffee or milk?"
Without waiting for Lu Wenxing to answer, Chen Che asked and answered himself, "Let's have milk. If you drink coffee now, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep at night."
"I'll go back to my room and tidy up."
Chen Che pushed his suitcase out of Lu Wenxing's room. His room was diagonally opposite Lu Wenxing's.
After a while, there was a knock on the door. Lu Wenxing thought it was Chen Che. He put down the clothes in his hands and walked over to open the door.
"Don't you have a room card...Teacher Gu?"
“As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw Chen Che pushing a suitcase out.”
"Why are you here in Country K? Come in."
Gu Yanshen was holding a shopping bag. Lu Wenxing stepped aside to let Gu Yanshen in. After closing the door, Gu Yanshen opened the shopping bag and asked him, "Do you want to eat?"
The two of them had been together for a long time and were already very familiar with each other. Lu Wenxing didn't bother to be polite with him and opened a bag of potato chips.
"Teacher Gu is here to work too?"
"Photographing the magazine cover."
Lu Wenxing looked at him in surprise, "VE fashion magazine?"
Seeing Lu Wenxing so surprised, Gu Yanshen pretended to be surprised and asked, "You too?"
"right."
Lu Wenxing knew that this shoot was for a two-person magazine, but he never expected it would be Gu Yanshen. This was too much of a coincidence.
"I suddenly realized...ever since I started appearing on the variety show with Teacher Gu, I seem to be tied to Teacher Gu. This is what happened."
Lu Wenxing said this with a smile, but he was genuinely surprised.
Gu Yanshen looked calm. He drank the water that Lu Wenxing poured for him and spoke calmly.
"It's quite a coincidence."
How could it not be a coincidence?
The first variety show was selected by Gu Yanshen.
For the second movie, Gu Yanshen had to visit several times before he managed to lure the person into the crew.
The third TV series shoot was also initiated by Gu Yanshen.
As for this variety show endorsement...
"Yan Shen, the person in charge of VE magazine called me and wanted to invite you to shoot the magazine cover. I pushed it for you."
Gu Yanshen leaned back in his chair and fed meat to his tiger cub, saying "hmm" indifferently.
In less than five minutes, someone else from VE called. Sheng Chao had already declined once. The person in charge said that this time the magazine would have a double cover and it had been confirmed to be Lu Wenxing, so he wanted Sheng Chao to ask again.
As soon as he heard the subject of the photo shoot, Sheng Chao immediately told Gu Yanshen.
The person on the other end of the phone originally just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect Gu Yanshen to really agree. He even forgot to hang up the phone and shouted at his colleague.
"The princess is real."
Sheng Chao on the other end of the phone: “…” Another one who supports this couple.
…
"When will Teacher Gu arrive in Country K?"
"I'm on a morning flight, I'm coming from Country Y." Gu Yanshen left all the things he bought behind, "You pack up, I'm going back to my room first."
Lu Wenxing's suitcase was open, the left side was empty, and the right side had not been tidied up yet.
"Give it all to me?"
The things in the bag were all snacks, all of which were Lu Wenxing's favorites. It was obvious that this was bought for him. Lu Wenxing then realized, "Did Teacher Gu know that you were going to take a photo with me?"
Gu Yanshen did not hide anything and admitted it generously.
"They said that when they called Sheng Chao."
Lu Wenxing could also understand that the movie emperor’s schedule was very full and he could not be invited casually. Various factors must be considered. So it was not surprising to tell Gu Yanshen who the other spokesperson was.
They went to Country K to shoot a magazine, and the person in charge of VE had already made arrangements. As soon as Lu Wenxing got off the plane, someone picked them up and took them to the hotel, and food and accommodation were all booked in advance. He and Gu Yanshen stayed in the same hotel, so it would be convenient to follow the car when they went to shoot tomorrow.
After Gu Yanshen left, Lu Wenxing fell into a brief silence with a bag of snacks. Was Gu Yanshen too nice to him? Gu Yanshen knew he would arrive today, so he bought snacks on purpose.
When Lu Wenxing was in the crew, he only felt that Gu Yanshen was careful and caring.
Now that he thought about it carefully, he didn't see how caring or attentive Gu Yanshen was to Qin Yu. It seemed that he only took good care of him.
Qin Yu and Gu Yanshen are high school classmates and have known each other for more than ten years. Qin Yu has never received any special treatment from Gu Yanshen, but Lu Wenxing can't think of any reason why Gu Yanshen treats him specially.
Lu Wenxing pondered for a few seconds, and it seemed that there was a reason for this.
They joked several times, and Gu Yanshen always called him "Student Lu". Did he really regard him as his apprentice?
When a master takes care of his apprentice, he always pays more attention to him. Moreover, when they were on the set, Gu Yanshen would take the initiative to teach him, act with him, lead him into the role, explain the play to him, and wait for him to finish acting.
Last year, Lu Wenxing was not as determined as he is now in pursuing his dream. He was still hesitating whether to go abroad as an exchange student, but it was Gu Yanshen who woke him up. From this perspective, Gu Yanshen is like his life planning mentor.
Thinking about it this way, Lu Wenxing was certain that Gu Yanshen was treating him as a student.
When he was in school, his teachers often said, "As a teacher, the most gratifying thing is that students can achieve success in their studies." Therefore, Gu Yanshen should also hope that he can achieve better success in the entertainment industry.
After confirming his guess, Lu Wenxing felt that he should be the first student accepted by Gu Yanshen, and he must not let Gu Yanshen down.
Gu Yanshen, who had already returned to his room, didn't know yet that because of his visit tonight, his status had been promoted to a life mentor, and he also encouraged Lu Wenxing by the way.
Sheng Chao saw Gu Yanshen coming back and put down his phone, "Did you see anyone?"
Gu Yanshen nodded.
Sheng Chao was very disdainful of Gu Yanshen's elementary school-like methods of pursuing girls, such as giving gifts and warmth. Only students would be moved by such simple behaviors.
But Gu Yanshen is an exception.
He is handsome, rich and famous. These three points alone make him better than most people. Even if his methods of pursuing people are a bit childish, it is acceptable.
"How about like you? Confessing to Qin Siyu without warning. If it were someone else, you would see if she would pay attention to you."
Sheng Chao immediately defended himself, "What do you know? This is called a routine."
Gu Yanshen raised his eyebrows, "A trick? Scare Qin Siyu to the point where she's frozen in place, so she won't run away... so it's easier for you to chase her?"
Sheng Chao: “…” Gu Yanshen was definitely making a personal attack.
That's too much.
Sheng Chao expressed his dissatisfaction. He felt that compared to Gu Yanshen, who had remained single since birth, who had the right to mock him?
He has more say than Gu Yanshen in pursuing people.
"I spent a lot of time pursuing Sisi before, giving her different gifts every day, from lipsticks, bags and perfumes... What's a bag of snacks like you?"
Gu Yanshen was too lazy to compare this with Sheng Chao. He glanced at Sheng Chao indifferently and said nonchalantly, "I gave him Zhou Hechen's vinyl record."
Sheng Chao was shocked. "When was it delivered? How come I didn't know?"
"When he returns home."
Sheng Chao’s eyes widened.
What the hell?
Did Gu Yanshen already have a plan at that time?
"Are you willing to give it to me?"
"It depends on the person." Gu Yanshen curled the corners of his lips.
Sheng Chao curled his lips, "It's not about the person, it's only for a specific person."
Gu Yanshen did not comment. He had liked Zhou Hechen since he was a child. At that time, many people were Zhou Hechen's fans, but Gu Yanshen never revealed it and never participated in discussions about Zhou Hechen. He liked Zhou Hechen, and no one knew about it except his mother.
Also including his collection of vinyl records.
But after meeting Lu Wenxing, he was willing to talk to Lu Wenxing about these things and share his hobbies with Lu Wenxing.
At that time, he hadn't realized that he liked Lu Wenxing, but when he carefully prepared a gift for Lu Wenxing, it showed that Lu Wenxing was very important in his heart.
He had never thought that he would like boys before, so he didn't think of this as love, he just enjoyed the process of sharing with Lu Wenxing.
The next afternoon, VE asked a driver to pick them up to go to the shooting site. They were shooting for the cover of the magazine for the next season. It was already autumn and winter in China at that time, so they chose to shoot in the southern hemisphere where it was snowing.
They first shot a few sets of photos indoors, and then turned to shooting outdoors after changing clothes.
Lu Wenxing had her hair permed once, only the ends of her hair were curled, giving it a fluffy effect.
In the snow, the two men wore suits of the same color and wore elk earrings, which were the products promoted in this issue of the magazine.
Elk earrings are for girls, but Lu Wenxing doesn't look feminine when wearing them. Instead, they give off a different meaning.
Gu Yanshen held up an umbrella, revealing the watch on his wrist, which was also the watch promoted by VE in this issue.
The photographer asked Lu Wenxing to half-squat with his elbow on his knee and the other hand hanging naturally on his thigh, holding a blue diagonal striped tie in his hand.
"Okay, keep this pose and look at the camera."
"Lift your chin slightly, and give it a nonchalant and playful vibe."
"very good."
Gu Yanshen held an umbrella, revealing a stern profile. The props gave him an umbrella. He stood beside Lu Wenxing, as if he was passing by, or as if he was holding an umbrella for Lu Wenxing.
The background is heavy snow, all white, and they are the only ones with color.
"Ok, change clothes."
There are three issues in a season of magazine. The photographer will take several sets of photos and then choose the ones he likes.
The outdoor changing room was a temporary shed. Although there was only one room, it was spacious. The weather was cold and the suit looked thin. Lu Wenxing's nose was red from the cold. He took a few sips of hot water.
"Want to change together?"
Gu Yanshen: "..."
The veins on Gu Yanshen's forehead jumped, and his mind couldn't help but imagine Lu Wenxing sitting in the bathtub. It really tested his concentration.
He didn't know whether Lu Wenxing was embarrassed or not, but Gu Yanshen's heart beat faster because of it.
The person involved, Lu Wenxing, had obviously forgotten about this matter. He asked Gu Yanshen if he wanted to change clothes together because the suit Gu Yanshen was wearing was very thin, and they were going to change into coats and sweaters, which were much warmer than the suits.
It was still snowing, and the temperature outside was very low. If you didn't change clothes quickly, you would catch a cold. Although Lu Wenxing liked men, he had no other thoughts in his mind, and the two of them just changed clothes with their backs to each other.
Lu Wenxing looked at him inquiringly.
Gu Yanshen paused for a few seconds, "No, you change first."
Lu Wenxing walked into the locker room with a bit of regret. What he didn't know was that he had no idea, but Gu Yanshen did.
However, he just thought that Gu Yanshen was not used to changing clothes with others.
After changing clothes, both of them were wearing warm-colored coats. In addition to coats and sweaters, scarves are also products that VE wants to promote.
It was still an outdoor shot, and a retro car also appeared in the shot.
Lu Wenxing sat cross-legged on the hood of the car, holding a cup of coffee in his hand. Gu Yanshen also sat on the hood of the car, with one leg crossed and the other on the ground, which made his long and straight legs stand out.
Their shoulders are pressed together, in a more intimate pose than the previous photo.
Lu Wenxing's posture of holding coffee highlights the ring on her finger, and Gu Yanshen also wears the same ring. The warm-colored coat is different from the coldness of the suit, and this photo looks more like a neighbor.
Like the brother next door taking his younger brother next door.
"Wen Xing, put your head on Teacher Gu's shoulder."
"Be more casual."
With just a slight lean, Lu Wenxing's nose tip rubbed against Gu Yanshen's scarf, and he could also smell the faint scent of perfume on Gu Yanshen. When he raised his eyes, he could see Gu Yanshen's high nose bridge and... sexy thin lips.
He knew that Gu Yanshen was good-looking, but this kind of intimacy was different from when they were filming. When filming, he was immersed in the role and Lu Wenxing was more relaxed. When taking pictures, you need to maintain a posture, and Lu Wenxing suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Gu Yanshen noticed Lu Wenxing's gaze, lowered his eyes and looked at him. Just one glance made Lu Wenxing lose his mind, and his heart beat violently uncontrollably.
"Wen Xing, don't look at Teacher Gu, look at the camera."
Lu Wenxing: “…”
Gu Yanshen laughed, his voice was a little low and hoarse. Lu Wenxing felt a little embarrassed by his laughter. He was actually distracted by looking at Gu Yanshen, with so many people present.
Gu Yanshen rolled his throat and his low voice fell.
“Does it look good?”
Lu Wenxing's ears felt hot and he just wanted to bury his whole face in the scarf.
The author has something to say: Gu Shenshen: "Does it look good?"
Lu Xingxing buried her face in her scarf and whispered, "It looks good."
Then, Gu Shenshen's ears turned red.
