I woke up from a dream at night. The room was pitch black. The curtains were drawn too tightly. The lights and moonlight outside could not penetrate. I was surrounded by a hazy haze.

I remembered the last time I woke up from a nightmare. In the dream, Liang Yisheng repeatedly used the word "crossing the line" in an increasingly cold tone. I couldn't get rid of it. It was as if I was haunted by those two words. Today, I don't know what happened. Maybe this nightmare that had been haunting him for a long time was finally dispelled. When the clouds parted and the sun came out, I had a very beautiful dream.

His temples were throbbing. Xu Yan took a deep breath and reached into the quilt. When he touched it, his face behind his ears turned red. He stood still in the quilt for a moment, not daring to move, for fear of rubbing against something again.

Wei Yuan and Qing Shu had a kissing scene. Xu Yan never dared to recall this scene often or savor it alone in the dead of night. He was not good enough to tell himself frankly that in this scene, only Wei Yuan's lips kissed Qing Shu. Whenever he recalled it, it must have been him and Liang Yisheng who kissed.

After the clouds were cleared and the sun came out, his nerves might relax, and the desire that he had suppressed rushed out of his dream.

He dreamed of empty wine bottles rolling on the ground. They did not use fake props, and they did not drink water. Luk Ka-hung doesn't mind letting the actors really drink some alcohol. Xu Yan's alcohol tolerance is not as bad as Qingshu's. A bottle of beer is not enough to make him drunk, but he can only pretend to be drunk. Liang Yisheng's lips and teeth have the same taste as his own. When he kisses him, it's like pouring clear beer into his throat.

The camera didn't zoom in. Luk Ka-hung pays attention to the atmosphere. He hates to be so straightforward that everything is shown to the audience like an attack. But everything is performed rigorously and meticulously as if it will be magnified ten times. Acting, acting breathing, acting movements, acting the anger of unrequited love, acting the uncontrollable trembling of emotions. Xu Yan's lips were bitten red, as if he was really drunk.

Xu Yan was in a trance. It was rare for him to feel so irritated. He reached out and scratched his hair. He still had no hairstyle. It had been a while since the scene where Wei Yuan cut Qingshu's hair. The "stylist" had limited skills, so Qingshu's hair had grown so wild until now. He had finished the haircut last night and had no time to take care of himself.

The room was booked near the dining place. After dinner, the other crew members returned to the crew dormitory drunk. Xu Yan had slept on a hard bed for more than two months. When he first slept on the hotel bed, he felt like he was lying in a cloud. He opened his phone to check the time. It was 4:30 in the morning.

There were several messages on WeChat. Several people he knew had received the message to congratulate him on his haircut. He didn't see it last night. The little red dot of the unread message was lonely and eye-catching. Xu Yan clicked on the message without replying, and clicked on Liang Yisheng's Moments.

Liang Yisheng hasn't posted a Moments post in the past two months, and I don't know why.

This is not like his style. When he was filming in the past, he always liked to post some complaints. Looking at his Moments, you will feel that filming is a trivial matter in his life. For example, it's so cold; can anyone eat this lunch box today; I can't finish a scene because of my procrastination. The director gave me chicken soup and said that an actor's bottleneck period is equal to the breakthrough period. He expected me to give him a blast. It's speechless. Liang Yisheng actually attracted a lot of criticism for posting these. Any screenshot of his "knight-errant" personality can be shattered to the ground, but no one has ever taken a screenshot of his Moments to criticize him.

The puppy named Cinderella was the last post Liang Yisheng made on his Moments, and it is still at the top after so long.

Cheng Xinlu had already flown back home overnight last night. It happened to be Saturday, so she could spend two days with her son if she went back. Xu Yan was too lazy to bother, so he left during the day. When Xiao Yuan gave him the room card, she said that when Sister Cheng left, she asked her to pay more attention to her emotions. The little girl looked confused, and obviously did not understand what Cheng Xinlu meant by her implicit expression. After

tasting the sweetness, Qingshu called Wei Yuan "brother" so many times. In Xu Yan's dream, Liang Yisheng would not let him go, and bit his right earlobe with his teeth. He could hear everything he said clearly, forcing him to change the honorific "Teacher Liang" to "brother".

At this moment, Xu Yan lived in a hotel in the county town below Shoushan Village. Twenty kilometers away, in the crew dormitory, Liang Yisheng was still sleeping on a narrow hard bed. Liang Yisheng was still Wei Yuan, but he woke up from his dream and realized that he had never been a green tree.

Six days later, the crew finished the filming. The crew finished the filming and Xu Yan finished the filming. The hotel was still the same hotel. The crew group was quite lively. The red envelopes were passed on for half an hour. From time to time, someone would tag Xu Yan to grab the red envelopes.

They hadn't finished their meal yet, and the hot search had already been posted.

The lineup of Lu Jiahong and Liang Yisheng, and the art film that Liang Yisheng had not acted in much, naturally attracted much attention. There was a small incident a few days ago, so small that Liang Yisheng himself might not have noticed it, but Cheng Xinlu, who is particularly concerned about the developments related to "Shadow", discovered it. A few days ago, several big fans of Liang Yisheng united to boycott this film, wanting to reject the two male protagonists and reject Xu Yan. But there was no commotion, and the fan circle resolved this small storm itself.

Xu Yan has an event tonight, and a red wine he endorses will hold a wine tasting party tonight. This endorsement is one of Xu Yan's most important endorsements, a small high-end red wine brand. When this endorsement was given to Xu Yan, it was torn up for several days. However, the consumer group itself is not a fan circle, and the brand finally did not remove Xu Yan from the spokesperson position.

In addition to Xu Yan, the spokesperson, several small stars were invited to fill the scene.

Xu Yan was putting on makeup when the crew group chat kept ringing. Cheng Xinlu glanced at him and said, "There will definitely be a reporter cueing the killing feast in a while. You know it yourself." Xu

Yan didn't answer. Cheng Xinlu had the habit of repeating what Xu Yan said if he didn't answer, and she was worried that he didn't hear it.

"What are you doing?" Cheng Xinlu was sitting on the sofa next to her. When she spoke, the tip of her high heels gently pushed Xu Yan's chair.

"Huh?" Xu Yan subconsciously turned his head to look at her. The makeup artist also stopped because of Xu Yan's turning of his head, and the shadow almost hit his cheek. Xu Yan quickly turned his head back and said sorry to the makeup artist. The makeup artist smiled and said it was okay.

Cheng Xinlu repeated what she had just said and asked him if he was chatting in the crew group chat.

"No, I accidentally won the lucky winner position and am sending out red envelopes." Xu Yan said.

"It's good. You should interact more in the group to avoid the marketing accounts that are idle and make up stories all day long. One moment, they say you are too arrogant and are excluded, and the next moment, they say your acting skills are too bad and you are hindering progress, and Lu Jiahong doesn't like you." Cheng Xinlu's teeth itched when she said this.

These marketing accounts have been around for a long time. Xu Yan herself didn't care about them before. She has been an agent for so many years and can be calm. But Cheng Xinlu accompanied Xu Yan to finish the role of Qingshu, and heard Lu Jiahong, who was drunk, say that Liang Yisheng was not worthy of Xu Yan. So she felt that she didn't like to listen to the marketing accounts' nonsense.

Xu Yan put away his phone. He was applying lipstick on his lips. It was not convenient for him to talk, so he just smiled in his heart.

The temperature was pleasant in the evening in early May, but as soon as he put on the suit and shirt, sweat began to break out on his forehead. Xu Yan was wearing a fashion brand he had cooperated with before. For the crew's wrap-up party, although he was not present, he still picked a dark red suit.

The people attending today were very mixed. At an occasion like a wine tasting, there were businessmen, celebrities, internet celebrities, and scholars. There was a lot of noise outside, and the reporter's microphone was almost in Xu Yan's face. As expected, when the wrap-up party, which was on the hot search, was mentioned, the questions asked were quite disrespectful to today's spokesperson.

As one of the main characters, Xu Yan was not present at today's wrap party and rarely interacted with the official account of the crew on Weibo. He was asked whether he was really being excluded from the crew.

Xu Yan smiled appropriately, straightened the microphone and said, "It might be possible that there was some crowding." I don't know why I am always the lucky one when Director Lu gives out red envelopes. I don't dare to grab the red envelopes, unless everyone cues me to grab the red envelopes, otherwise I dare not click.

"I heard that a lot of progress has been delayed because of you. I wonder if this is true?"

"I am a newcomer, and it is indeed more difficult to cooperate with the seniors. I am very grateful to all the seniors in the crew for their care and teaching."

Xu Yan has been scolded so much that it is quite natural for him to say clichés when practicing Tai Chi. After three or four questions, it was all in this style. Cheng Xinlu stepped forward to block the microphone and protected Xu Yan as he walked to the backstage.

"I knew it was like this. If you didn't have to participate, I wouldn't let you come." Cheng Xinlu was a little annoyed and her tone was not good.

The backstage is the main venue for tonight's wine tasting. It is much quieter than the backstage, with no cameras and no reporters. On the open lawn, the entrance is a white arch covered with green vines. Two boys in tuxedos are in charge of registration at the door. Xu Yan signed his name, and the boy looked up at him and threw a cold "please".

The color of Xu Yan's clothes was eye-catching. Cheng Xinlu wanted him to change into a light-colored suit after entering the backstage, so as to keep a low profile until the end. When carrying clothes to the locker room, Cheng Xinlu caught a glimpse of a very familiar back, and subconsciously shouted "Oh my god".

Xu Yan followed her line of sight and saw only lush bushes and dotted LED lights on them, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Maybe I saw it wrong, but it's also very likely that it was him. The organizers didn't announce his name, and he was able to enter the backstage directly without the brand taking advantage of this wave of popularity." Cheng Xinlu said to herself.

Xu Yan looked in that direction again, and this time he vaguely saw half a figure, half blocked by a tree. He only felt that the figure was tall and straight, and even with half of the body so far away, he could smell the extraordinary temperament of this person.

Cheng Xinlu came over and stared in that direction, "Do you think that person looks like Zhuo Lu?"

Zhuo Lu.

Xu Yan then matched this figure to a more accurate figure. He was not as surprised as Cheng Xinlu. As long as Liang Yisheng was not present today, he did not care who came.

But then he realized that his mother Xu was infatuated with the TV at home. After thinking for a while, he asked Cheng Xinlu, "Sister, do you think it would be convenient for me to ask him for an autograph?"

"Ah?" Cheng Xinlu was even more surprised, "You still like him, I haven't heard you say that."

"My mom likes him."
