Chapter 89 Chapter 89
Gu Xing Shi returned to the hotel.
He was tired on the way, but when he lay on the bed, he couldn't sleep.
He kept recalling the moment when the car accident happened.
It all happened too fast and too suddenly.
He didn't even have time to react.
Afterwards, he worried about Wen Yue's injury and didn't think much about it.
Now, late at night, alone in the hotel, he couldn't help but think about it.
Everything at that time was like slow motion, replaying in his mind.
From Wen Yue shouting "Be careful", to him unhesitatingly turning the steering wheel, blocking in front of him.
Human instinct should be to protect oneself.
But Wen Yue broke through his instinct and protected him.
Gu Xing Shi had been very popular since he was a child. Since elementary school, people had written love letters to him. When he was in high school, the students around him secretly started dating, and he was also a little moved. However, after his parents died, his life took a sharp turn for the worse.
He was busy working part-time to earn money and study, and he didn't have time to think about other things.
Now that Le Shi is developing smoothly, Gu Xing Shi can finally breathe a sigh of relief and consider other things.
After knowing that Wen Yue liked him, Gu Xing Shi was also moved.
Wen Yue's appearance, figure, and personality perfectly matched his preferences, and he also liked him.
But he was still hesitant.
Compared to elusive love, Gu Xing Shi valued practicality more.
He has a very close cooperation with Wen's company. It's fine if he and Wen Yue are together, but what if they break up? Will it affect their cooperation? Will it affect the artists under his company?
After all, Gu Xing Shi is no longer alone.
Hundreds of people in Le Shi need to eat.
Gu Xing Shi has always been a person of action. He does whatever he thinks of, but in this matter, he is hesitant and anxious, and it's not even like him.
However, this car accident directly broke down the high wall in his heart.
Without his knowledge, Wen Yue had already walked 99 steps towards him, so he should also summon the courage to take that one step.
As for what will happen in the future, we'll talk about it later.
After making up his mind, Gu Xing Shi's tense heart suddenly relaxed.
He slept well and woke up refreshed the next day.
He tidied himself up and specially matched his clothes before going out to the hospital.
When he arrived at the hospital with breakfast, the doctor was just checking on Wen Yue.
Because Wen Yue reacted in time, his injuries were not serious. After a night's rest, his mild concussion symptoms had almost healed. The slightly more serious injury was a cut on his face from the glass. It bled a lot at the time, and it looked scary, but the wound wasn't deep.
After the doctor finished the examination, Wen Yue's subordinate came to report that the drunk driver from last night had been found, and Wen Yue's lawyers would teach him a lesson.
When Wen Yue handled official business, his expression was cold and hard, and his aura was compelling.
But when he saw Gu Xing Shi, his expression softened immediately: "You're here?"
Gu Xing Shi suddenly found that Wen Yue seemed to always treat him differently from others.
But before, he didn't care much.
But after deciding to be in a relationship with him, he found this, and his heart felt a little sweet.
So, Wen Yue found that Gu Xing Shi's smile today was softer than usual.
And his clothes today were different from usual.
Gu Xing Shi is a typical pragmatist. He usually dresses simply and comfortably, unless it is an important occasion, he will dress more formally.
But his outfit today was obviously carefully matched.
Wen Yue asked seemingly casually: "Where are you going later?"
Gu Xing Shi didn't think much: "I should go to the film set, and then deal with some miscellaneous matters."
Wen Yue was a little puzzled. Going to the film set and handling miscellaneous matters shouldn't require special dressing.
Then he heard Gu Xing Shi add: "However, Ge Yan called me this morning and said he wanted to go to the film set together."
Speaking of this, Gu Xing Shi was a little excited.
Although Yan Zhi Heng has retired from the entertainment industry for many years, as a top star in the industry back then, many of his experiences are still valuable.
Maybe he can persuade him to make a cameo appearance and add a publicity point to the movie.
By the way, he can also ask about Wen Yue's childhood. He was interrupted yesterday, which was a pity.
However, his joyful expression in Wen Yue's eyes made him a little sour.
Just to see Yan Zhi Heng, is it necessary to be so formal?
His usually neatly arranged hair hung down messily, his brows slightly furrowed, weakening his sharpness, but making his superior and handsome features even more prominent.
Gu Xing Shi rarely saw Wen Yue like this, his heart skipped a few beats.
He cleared his throat: "Eat breakfast first."
After finishing breakfast, Gu Xing Shi was about to leave, but Wen Yue said: "I'll go with you."
Gu Xing Shi was surprised: "Your injury..."
"There's nothing serious." Wen Yue didn't care much. "I also participated in the investment of this movie, so I should go and see it."
So the two of them got into the car together.
Wen Yue's driver drove, and the two sat in the back seat.
The hospital is some distance from the film set. Gu Xing Shi could still chat with Wen Yue at first, but he had stayed up too late last night, and soon he felt sleepy, his head drooping little by little.
Seeing this, Wen Yue reached out to support his head, carefully leaning it on his shoulder.
But Gu Xing Shi didn't sleep very well. After a while, he slid down his shoulder.
Wen Yue wanted to support his body, but the car suddenly jolted, and Gu Xing Shi's head slid directly onto his lap.
And he didn't wake up, just mumbled a few words, then moved his body, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep again.
His warm breath fell on Wen Yue's skin through his pants, and his fluffy hair was very close to his lower abdomen.
Wen Yue only felt his body stiffen.
But seeing Gu Xing Shi sleeping soundly, he couldn't bear to wake him up.
In the end, he maintained this posture until they reached the film set.
Gu Xing Shi had a comfortable sleep, but Wen Yue's legs were numb.
After getting out of the car, the two saw Yan Zhi Heng, who had been waiting there.
Yan Zhi Heng was still perfect today.
He greeted Gu Xing Shi with a gentle attitude, then looked at Wen Yue behind him: "Your legs weren't injured in the car accident?"
Wen Yue: "..."
Gu Xing Shi touched his nose a little awkwardly.
He rarely really falls asleep outside. He didn't know what happened today, he slept so soundly on Wen Yue's lap.
Fortunately, Yan Zhi Heng just casually retorted Wen Yue without asking further.
Afterwards, they entered the film set with Gu Xing Shi.
The movie Feng Ting Yun is shooting this time is adapted from a novel by an avant-garde writer. It is all real-location shooting, and the locations alone involve seven or eight countries and regions.
Last night, Gu Xing Shi and Wen Yue didn't hide the car accident from Feng Ting Yun and Qin Wen.
Because as soon as they arrived, the two came up to them and asked if they were okay.
Knowing that Gu Xing Shi was unharmed, but Wen Yue was injured to save him, Qin Wen, who usually doesn't have good feelings for Wen Yue, rarely had a good expression towards him, and didn't come out to be a third wheel.
At this time, they noticed Yan Zhi Heng behind Gu Xing Shi.
"Yan...Yan Zhi Heng?!"
Feng Ting Yun's voice changed.
Even Qin Wen's eyes widened, his face full of unconcealed excitement.
Gu Xing Shi had long known that Yan Zhi Heng was charming. When he was at his most popular, all of China, from eighty-year-olds to eight-year-olds, regardless of gender or age, were his fans.
Years ago, the TV series he starred in were replayed on TV stations every year.
Yan Zhi Heng was calm, smiling and greeting them.
Although Feng Ting Yun and others were excited at first, they quickly calmed down and continued filming.
Gu Xing Shi and others didn't disturb them, but watched from the side.
Gu Xing Shi and Yan Zhi Heng chatted aside.
After chatting for a while, seeing that Yan Zhi Heng didn't object, he carefully suggested that he could make a cameo appearance in a role of a few minutes.
Because the system had said before that Yan Zhi Heng quit acting because he wanted to leave his perfect self on the screen, and he had been living in seclusion for these years and hadn't acted again.
Gu Xing Shi was worried that he would be rejected if he rashly made this request.
Unexpectedly, Yan Zhi Heng read the script and chatted with Feng Ting Yun for a while, then readily agreed.
Gu Xing Shi thought it was just a few minutes of a small role, and it should be finished soon. However, Yan Zhi Heng specifically found a stylist and makeup artist, and it took more than two hours.
He was very serious when acting, Gu Xing Shi even felt that he was shining brightly, making people unable to look away.
Not only his appearance and figure were the same as before, but his acting skills hadn't deteriorated, or rather, his acting skills had become more refined.
Seemingly seeing Gu Xing Shi's doubts, Wen Yue said beside him: "My uncle has been insisting on exercising for so many years, not eating greasy and sweet food, and practicing vocalization, stage presence and performance every day."
Gu Xing Shi was stunned.
Wen Yue had a good relationship with Yan Zhi Heng when he was young. Although their interactions haven't been as frequent as before in recent years, their relationship is still good.
He said: "He left back then not because he was tired, but because he pursued perfection and got stuck in a rut."
Gu Xing Shi understood.
Yan Zhi Heng became famous as soon as he debuted.
He debuted for ten years, maintaining a clean image, good acting skills, good singing, and was polite to both staff and fans, with almost no scandals.
This is almost impossible in this circle, but Yan Zhi Heng did it.
And this also became his shackles.
Yan Zhi Heng didn't dislike acting, he just didn't want to break the myth he had created himself.
Gu Xing Shi couldn't help but sigh.
Yan Zhi Heng didn't have many scenes and finished filming soon.
But he seemed a little unsatisfied.
Gu Xing Shi also felt a little uncomfortable.
He couldn't help asking softly: "Ge Yan, do you still want to act?"
Yan Zhi Heng smiled: "No need, this is good enough."
Although he said it calmly, Gu Xing Shi still saw a trace of regret in his eyes.
He couldn't help but have a sudden thought and said: "Ge Yan is right, the domestic entertainment industry is indeed chaotic now, there are no reliable crews, and as for the internet, it's even more chaotic, AI face-swapping, AI voice lines..."
Yan Zhi Heng didn't pay much attention to new things, so he asked: "What is AI face-swapping?"
Gu Xing Shi immediately opened his phone and found several videos where netizens used Yan Zhi Heng's face for AI face-swapping in terrible dramas: "It's this!"
Yan Zhi Heng was stunned when he saw it, and immediately said: "I haven't acted in this kind of thing!"
Gu Xing Shi: "You haven't acted, they replaced the actor's face with yours."
As Gu Xing Shi spoke, the video also showed clips from the original drama.
【Damn! What a terrible acting, even Yan Zhi Heng's face can't save it!】
【For a moment, I felt that Yan Zhi Heng even became ugly, woo woo woo woo, I'm sorry, my god!】
【Please, don't ruin my god again!!】
Yan Zhi Heng: "!!!"
He was both surprised and angry, "What is this thing!"
Gu Xing Shi explained that this is a drama acted by some young actors. Because their acting skills were too bad, netizens spontaneously used AI face-swapping technology to replace the young actors' faces with his.
And as a perfect male god, Yan Zhi Heng's face can be said to be a disaster area.
Yan Zhi Heng was stunned: "Wouldn't this infringe on reputation rights and portrait rights?!"
Back then, some companies secretly used photos of celebrities, photoshopped them onto their products for publicity. But because the internet wasn't developed then, these things wouldn't spread. Once discovered, they would almost always be sued.
But now it's so rampant online, is no one suing them?
Gu Xing Shi sighed: "There's no way, the law in this area is not yet perfect, and these are all done spontaneously by netizens, not for profit, so there's no way to sue. But by the time it's perfected, these terrible dramas might have already been replaced..."
Yan Zhi Heng was completely dumbfounded.
Gu Xing Shi said meaningfully: "Instead of letting these people ruin your acting and image, why don't you appear on the screen yourself..."
After hearing this, Yan Zhi Heng left in a daze.
Looking at his back, Wen Yue asked: "Do you think my uncle will return to China?"
Gu Xing Shi shook his head: "I'm not sure either."
Only Yan Zhi Heng himself can get out of this rut.
Wen Yue didn't mention this matter again, and instead said: "When are you returning to China?"
Gu Xing Shi: "Things here are almost settled, I should be going back the day after tomorrow."
Wen Yue said: "I'll be taking a private jet back tomorrow, do you want to come along?"
Gu Xing Shi had never been on a private jet before, so he curiously agreed.
Seeing the smile at the corner of his lips, Wen Yue's expression moved slightly.
Early the next morning, Wen Yue came to pick up Gu Xing Shi.
This flight is about ten hours long. Except for a stopover in a transit city, most of the time can be said to be their two-person world.
Gu Xing Shi wore a white down jacket today. This simple color looked particularly good on him, with a bit of innocent youthful air.
However, Wen Yue's gaze fell on his earlobe, which was a diamond earring.
Gu Xing Shi usually doesn't like to wear jewelry, and he is always clean and refreshing.
But these two days, he has been wearing accessories, and they are all gemstones...
The diamonds shimmered, but they seemed a little tight, and his earlobe was slightly red, like a plump and juicy cherry.
Wen Yue's eyes darkened, and he felt a little thirsty.
"Xing Shi..."
His voice was slightly hoarse, and he reached out to hold Gu Xing Shi's hand.
This time Gu Xing Shi didn't struggle, his slightly cold hand obediently resting in his palm.
The fire in Wen Yue's heart burned even more intensely.
Just then, two cars drove over from a distance.
The door of the front car opened, and Yan Zhi Heng gracefully got out. Several servants got out of the car behind, carrying luggage down.
Yan Zhi Heng: "Do you mind if I hitch a ride?"
Wen Yue: "!!!"
