2 "Xu Yan, you've crossed the line."

The lingering annoyance and heat in the dream suddenly dissipated, and Xu Yan closed his eyes again because of the dazzle of the chandelier above his head. Even with his eyes closed, he could see a diffuse white light in front of him. After taking a shower, he fell asleep on the bed and forgot to turn off the light.

Naturally, he couldn't sleep well. In his dream, he kept playing small movies. Liang Yisheng's words rolled back and forth like a wheel for several times. In the end, his tone gradually became impatient, causing Xu Yan to forget what tone Liang Yisheng had when he said this when he woke up from his dream?

He took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It was one forty in the morning.

He only slept for half an hour, but he acted out the two-hour plot several times in a chaotic dream. His hair has been a little long recently, and he is growing it out. His next role requires a hairstyle, and Director Lu will never accept an actor wearing a wig, so he has to grow it out conscientiously.

Xu Yan has never tried long hair, although he does not have a tough look, and long hair probably won't be too discordant. It's just that his hair will inevitably block his right ear when it grows long, and he is a little uncomfortable with it.

The current length is a bit awkward, and the ends of his hair are poking at his neck. Especially when he sleeps at night, the temperature of the floor heating is not low, and the back of his neck is covered with a lot of sweat from the pillow and hair.

Xu Yan sat up and calmed down for a while, and slowly began to think about the word "crossing the line" in his mind.

He and Liang Yisheng had signed a contract, which clearly stated that Xu Yan and Liang Yisheng would be in a "lover" relationship for the next two years. As Liang Yisheng's boyfriend, would it be considered crossing the line for him to ask if he would provide resources to Zhou Xinian?

Or, if he hadn't asked about this and hadn't mentioned Zhou Xinian, would he still be Liang Yisheng's "boyfriend" for a year? Until their contract officially ended.

The event ended quite early tonight, and there was not much excitement at the cocktail party inside. If it was a more formal occasion, there might have been a stage performance inside. Xu Yan arrived at the hotel a little after eleven o'clock. His assistant Xiao Yuan was in the next room. At half past eleven, he held up his cell phone and knocked on Xu Yan's door.

The girl looked guilty. Xu Yan knew what happened without further explanation. Xiao Yuan must have exaggerated what happened in the lounge tonight and told the agent Cheng Xinlu. His original intention was to share his highlight moment, but Cheng Xinlu scolded him.

As expected, the voice on the other end was very loud as soon as he picked up the phone. "Why are you getting more and more impatient? Isn't that kind of talk child's play for you? Why compete with them? As long as we work hard to make the movie well, they will come to lick you when it is released?"

Even if the speakerphone was not turned on, Xiao Yuan standing next to him could hear what Cheng Xinlu said, and he buried his head in reflection with a pale face. Cheng Xinlu must have scolded her -

you are here to be an assistant, and everything must be based on Xu Yan's interests and reputation. Do you think you are here to act in a movie? She was expecting him to fight back after being scolded, and she was happy? What if someone takes a video and publishes it out of context? It feels good for a while, but I still have to clean up the shabby stall in the back.

The hotel is located in the city center, with heavy traffic and a rush. The view out the window at this time is not much different from the view at 10 o'clock in the evening. Xu Yan poured himself a cup of hot water, and stood by the window holding the cup, thinking about what Shi Chengxinlu would say on the phone in the evening.

He certainly knew that something was wrong with him.

Liang Yisheng said that he had crossed the line. He was not convinced before, but now he seemed to suddenly understand why Liang Yisheng said that. If it were in the past, he would not ask Liang Yisheng whether he wanted to give Zhou Xinian resources; if it were in the past, he would never stand up and say such words in a situation like tonight in the lounge.

He did not cross the line, he lost control.

The contract will end in one year, which means he will "break up" with Liang Yisheng in one year. He can't help but wonder if Liang Yisheng has someone he likes and who will be his next boyfriend. Before entering the lounge, he told Liang Yisheng that he could terminate the contract at any time. Now there is not even a year left, and he will no longer be Liang Yisheng's boyfriend. He can't help but want to have more presence in this role, whether it is good or bad.

This is out of control, not crossing the line. It

is even more excessive than crossing the line.

The man who stared out the window for a while casually put the water cup on the table and dived into the still warm quilt. He silently cursed himself - a sparrow wants to become a phoenix!

His words are different from those used to slander him on the Internet. The meaning is probably to let himself be less self-indulgent. Since he said that he clearly understood the relationship between himself and Liang Yisheng, he should not have any illusions.

Not even a little bit.

Xu Yan has never been a naive love-minded person. Occasionally, he would quickly suppress some uncontrollable thoughts. Cheng Xinlu was right. Since Liang Yisheng was willing to give him this resource, the most important thing for him was to act well in Director Lu's movie.

He and Liang Yisheng, to put it nicely, could be called "contract lovers", or to put it bluntly, "cooperative sponsorship". Once the contract ended, the two had no relationship.

Liking under this premise is meaningless.

If all goes well, after Liang Yisheng's play is finished, they should be able to join Director Lu's group after the new year. Xu Yan has been studying Director Lu's movies recently. It was

almost two o'clock in the morning, and Xu Yan's sleepiness was completely disturbed. He simply picked up his tablet and searched for a movie by Director Lu. He only paid attention for ten seconds. He was distracted and didn't pay attention to the opening credits after the movie's dragon logo. It wasn't until the last shot faded out and the subtitle "Director Luk Ka-hung" appeared that he regained his attention.

Luk Ka-hung.

This was not written in the contract. Liang Yisheng never said that he would recommend himself to director Luk Ka-hung to play the second role in Luk Ka-hung's new film.

At that time, Liang Yisheng called him, his tone was gentle, "Xu Yan, does Lu Jiahong know about this? I signed a contract with him for his new film today, but it's still confidential, don't tell anyone else. By the way, I recommend you to play the second role, what do you think, are you willing?" Oh

my God, in this entire entertainment industry, who would not be willing to play Lu Jiahong's movie? But Liang Yisheng gave him such a big pie for nothing, and still asked, what do you think, are you willing?

Anyone would have a self-indulgent fantasy, does Liang Yisheng like me a little, even if only a little?

When Xu Yan came back to his senses again, the movie had been going on for more than ten minutes.

While he put his hands together in his heart and confessed to Director Lu that his study attitude was not right, he pulled the progress bar back to the beginning.

But it might not be suitable to study tonight. Before the opening credits were finished, the phone next to the pillow suddenly vibrated.

Xu Yan picked it up and saw that the words "Sister Cheng" on the caller ID seemed to have a special effect of enlarging and bolding. This is what happens when people are too smart. Xu Yan can always guess what happened without anyone saying anything. At two o'clock in the middle of the night, Cheng Xinlu called him without considering whether he was resting or not. She must have known something.

For example, he might soon experience the next cyberbullying, and the whole network would soon start to mock him for being dumped by Liang Yisheng.

Xu Yan accepted his fate and answered the phone.

Cheng Xinlu's voice was a little hoarse when she spoke, "Xiao Xu? Are you asleep or not?"

Xu Yan told the truth, "Awake, what's the matter?"

"Liang Yisheng's agent just sent me a message, asking me when I have time to talk about the contract, saying that you and Liang Yisheng have already discussed and are ready to terminate the contract in advance?!" Cheng Xinlu's speech speed is getting faster and faster, and her voice is getting louder and louder.

Xu Yan was silent for a long time, and finally said "um", "I just said it tonight. It's not that I didn't tell you, but I didn't expect him to do it so quickly..."

"You should have told me such a big thing at the time!"

Xu Yan closed his mouth and listened quietly.

Cheng Xinlu also paused, realizing that she was too impatient. "I'm sorry, but you have to understand me. I never thought about this situation. Public relations, press releases, and your next movie directed by Director Lu are too important to you. I'm anxious for your own good."

"I know, sister. I didn't consider it." Xu Yan's voice was calm.

The call was silent for nearly half a minute. The silence at two o'clock in the morning was much heavier than usual.

Cheng Xinlu spoke first, "Is there any other way? Is there anything I can do to help? Do you know what will happen to you if you terminate the contract?"

"I know." Xu Yan said.

"Then why did you agree to terminate the contract early? Xu Yan, we signed a contract with Liang Yisheng, which is legally binding. He has no right to unilaterally terminate it. If you..." "

I proposed it. I said that if he wanted, he could end it now, and he agreed." Xu Yan said.

There was no sound from Cheng Xinlu's end, so Xu Yan continued.

"You have always known that I like him. If you let me continue to sit in the position of his 'boyfriend' for a year, I will get more and more out of control. I can't bear the consequences of losing control, but I can bear the consequences of terminating the contract. Teacher Liang said that he would still let me shoot Director Lu's play. Sister Cheng, please believe me this time."

There was a crackling sound of electric current on the phone.

Cheng Xinlu's voice was filled with helplessness and testing, "Xu Yan, do you know what the theme of Director Lu's new film is? Your character has a crush on Liang Yisheng's character, what will you do then?"

"What's wrong with that? I'm sure I can play this crush well." Xu Yan said with a smile.
