The first snow fell in Beijing in December.

Cheng Xinlu was in Beijing. She got up early and posted several photos in the group at six o'clock. Judging from the extent of the snow, it should have started snowing at three or four in the morning. Xiao Yuan got up a little earlier than Xu Yan. When Xu Yan saw them, the two of them had been yelling in the studio group for half an hour.

Xu Yan flipped through the chat records of the two girls. After reading them, he did not interrupt and clicked on Liang Yisheng's conversation box.

Yesterday, Xu Yan finished the night show at eleven o'clock. When he took a shower and lay in bed, it was twelve o'clock and Liang Yisheng was still busy working. At half past twelve, the two of them had a ten-minute video call. Xu Yan went to sleep and Liang Yisheng went to take a shower.

The chat interface showed Liang Yisheng's good night message sent at a little after one o'clock.

December in the south is not too cold. You don't even need to turn on the air conditioner in the house. Wearing thicker pajamas and covering yourself with a blanket is enough to keep warm. It's just that when I just got up in the morning, I was playing with my phone and my fingers were a little frozen. Xu Yan clenched his five fingers into his palm, moved them for a while, and then poked the screen to tell Liang Yisheng, who hadn't gotten up yet, that it was snowing outside.

Before he finished typing, a photo was suddenly sent over from the other side.

It was all white outside Xinyuan, and the street lights were all wearing white hats for snowy days. It was just past seven o'clock, and there was already a sloppy-looking snowman downstairs .

Xu Yan paused, deleted the words in the conversation box, and simply called the video, which was quickly picked up.

Liang Yisheng's voice was also hoarse. Both of them had just gotten up, and asked Xu Yan good morning in a low voice. This guy doesn't like to have the camera pointed straight at himself when he makes a video call, and no one knows what's wrong with him. As a result, Xu Yan has become accustomed to looking at half of his head, his sweater, his ears, or even the ceiling or just a dark area - the camera is placed on the table.

Xu Yan was lying on his side on the bed. Today, Liang Yisheng was "merciful" enough to hold the phone properly and let Xu Yan see the snow scene outside the window. Xinyuan has a good environment, and the bushes are evergreen holly, with green and white blending into one.

"Are you busy today?" Xu Yan asked, looking at the snow scene.

The picture over there was shaking, and it was obvious that the owner of the phone was walking casually with the phone in his hand, and he didn't point the camera properly at his face. After the shaking, the screen went black, which means it was placed on the table.

He had just gotten up at this time, so he should have made breakfast and then washed up. Xu Yan heard the sound of coffee beans being ground over there, and the voice of Liang Yisheng talking together: "Not busy, Lu Jiahong asked me to have dinner."

"Do you want your help or just dinner?" Xu Yan asked.

"Shadow" was originally scheduled to be released at the end of December. Logically, it should have been prepared for previews and premieres in November, but it's already December and there's still no news. It's not hard to think that it's because of the subject matter that it encountered some troubles, but it's not a big deal. Everyone is prepared for this kind of subject matter not to go smoothly.

Liang Yisheng smiled and said nonchalantly, "I guess he wants me to ask Song Zi for help. The two of them had a good relationship when they were young. They were like enemies and quarreled all the time. They don't want to keep in touch with each other anymore when they are old. They think it's embarrassing to contact each other first."

"Director Lu and Teacher Song still have this kind of relationship." Xu Yan said after a moment of silence.

In fact, he said this, but what he was thinking about was a marketing account he saw some time ago. The marketing account swore that Lu Jiahong had pursued Song Zi when he was young, and it was not until Song Zi retired and got married that Lu Jiahong was heartbroken for many years before he let go of his knot and got married and had children. Originally, he was just eating melons casually, and didn't think that marketing accounts could tell the truth at all, but when Liang Yisheng said this, Xu Yan felt that he had bitten a knife.

"He should have known Song Zi for more than 30 years, and I have only known Song Zi for a few years. If he wants Song Zi to help him find her," Liang Yisheng said.

Xu Yan looked at the black screen in silence for a while. What kind of words are these... Liang Yisheng has never heard such unreliable and reasonable words.

Xu Yan estimated that it would take another week to finish the filming. Qiu Ling was depressed every day. Whenever she saw Xu Yan, she would stick to him, but she didn't dare to get too close. She kept a "safe distance" of half a meter and cried, "Xu Yan, how can I live without you! Every marketing hot search about Brother Zhuo and I makes me unable to sleep or eat! I'm afraid that Bian Jingjing will rush into the crew and kill me!"

Nowadays, film and television dramas like to be title-oriented when marketing characters. For example, if it is obvious that something happened to the characters played by two people in the plot, the title is not written with the character's name, but the actor's name. The last hot search for “Treading into the Nine Skies” was “Zhuo Luai draws the sword! Qiu Ling breaks the curse with heartache”. Although most people have become accustomed to it and at most would click on it and curse “This marketing account is really speechless”, Qiu Ling herself was trembling with fear and unable to sleep or eat.

Xu Yan looked at her kindly: "Sister Bian is a very nice person. Didn't she come to the crew to deliver cakes before? She won't dislike you because of the role marketing."

Qiu Ling pretended to cry more passionately: "But it would be fine if you were here! After you left, it would only be me and Brother Zhuo!! If Bian Jingjing came to visit, I couldn't escape and get close to you!!! I could only sit somewhere like an awkward vase!!!"

"Forget it!" Qiu Ling suddenly waved her hands fiercely, "I can't get too close to you either, I'm afraid your husband will rush over and kill me! Anyway, no man is a good thing!"

After saying this, Qiu Ling lifted the hem of her skirt and walked away in a dignified manner. She had just changed her clothes. Today she was wearing a white skirt with tufts of goose feathers on the edge of her top, which was gentle and fairy-like. When she was silent, she looked like a fairy. When she spoke, she instantly fell into the mortal world. It even felt like a pity to waste such a soft skirt.

Xu Yan and Zhuo Lu were innocent victims, and they were inexplicably made bad guys. Xu Yan watched her figure walking away, and walked towards the dressing room helplessly.

Xiao Yuan was in the dressing room, holding a meat bun and chewing it crazily. She was laughing while chewing it. When Xu Yan pushed the door and walked in, she was so scared that she almost dropped her phone on the ground.

"What are you looking at?" Xu Yan asked casually.

Xiao Yuan did not hide the truth from him: "Recently everyone is paying attention to when "Shadow" will be released. Because it has been postponed, many people have started looking for old candies. You have been filming, and the boss has been elusive in the past few months. Apart from participating in a few activities, he has not appeared in public, let alone appearing in the same frame! Several CP fans I follow are reviewing the old teaching materials today."

Although Xu Yan has also read some of the comments of CP fans, he still has no idea about some of the more "professional" words. "Textbook?"

The makeup artist overheard the two talking and couldn't help but interrupt: "Your previous interactions with Mr. Liang are classics and are considered textbooks. It means that you can use this to recommend it to passers-by and get them into it, just like a textbook!"

Xiao Yuan's eyes widened instantly, and she rushed over to shake hands with the makeup artist, and said excitedly: "Sisters! Together for life?"

The makeup artist's eyes were filled with tears: "Sisters! Stay together forever!"

In Xu Yan's silence, the two exchanged the CP fan code, and then excitedly held hands and turned around. The makeup artist turned around and saw Xu Yan sitting on the chair and calmed down instantly. She quickly pulled her hand out of Xiao Yuan's hand and coughed several times: "I'm sorry!! I'm sorry, Teacher Xu! Although I am your fan, I am definitely not a stalker. I was originally a makeup artist. It was really a coincidence that I worked in "Step into the Nine Skies". When I took this job, I didn't know that you..."

Xu Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and interrupted her explanation: "Don't be nervous, I don't mean that."

"No, no, fans should keep a distance from the main person, I lost my sense! I was holding back and didn't even dare to look at you for the past few days. Today, it's because... I was excited that we recognized each other as sisters."

"It really doesn't matter. It's my honor to meet fans on the set." Xu Yan said with a smile, "Why don't you tell me about the 'teaching materials'?"

Sure enough, the makeup artist calmed down a lot when the teaching materials were mentioned. Although she was facing the main character, she still talked about it in a torrent of words in an Amway tone. She found her makeup bag and kept talking while putting on makeup: "The most famous teaching material at the moment is of course the video played by the Green Oxygen program team. The second most famous is what happened during the filming of our "Treading into the Sky". It was the scene where President Liang was waiting for you in the hotel after the shooting, and you stood in front of him and poked his face! That was photographed, and the picture was so beautiful that it went viral!"

"Do you know? Our teacher Xu looks like a silly beauty who is ignorant of the world or a little elf from another world in that photo. President Liang is a very deep boss who has experienced a lot in the world. He is simply too beautiful!"

The makeup artist went off topic while talking, and even called him "our teacher Xu". Obviously, her passion for promoting her product had made her forget that the person in front of her was Xu Yan himself. Xiao Yuan was coughing desperately beside him - Hey, the silly beauty you are talking about is the person in front of you!

When Xu Yan changed his clothes and came out, the makeup artist had already left. Xiao Yuan helped him straighten his collar and apologized to Xu Yan.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, I have also reflected on myself. I am your assistant, and it is my job to take care of you by your side, but because you are so good and treat me like a family member and a sister, I often forget myself. I shouldn't have made friends with fans during work..."

Xu Yan seemed to be in a good mood, with a not-so-obvious smile: "I'm actually very happy."

In fact, Xu Yan was really happy. The makeup artist should be the second fan of himself he came into contact with after entering the entertainment industry. The first one was the front desk girl at the hotel during the "Shadow" killing banquet. She was a fan of the book "Green Tree", the original novel of the movie.

Then Xu Yan thought of Liang Yisheng at that time, the Liang Yisheng who got angry because someone expressed impolitely that his autograph was not needed. Xu Yan suddenly realized that he was really slow. If he had been bolder and more self-indulgent, he might have discovered Liang Yisheng's preference for him earlier.

But it doesn't matter. Even if he didn't discover it, this preference had already existed. It was early enough that Liang Yisheng didn't kick him out of the room, and listened carefully to his explanation, a nobody who was not even worthy of walking on the red carpet; it was early enough that Liang Yisheng asked him if he was willing to film Lu Jiahong's film; it was early enough that Liang Yisheng's studio sent him a lawyer's letter and an apology letter; it was early enough that Liang Yisheng ran from the crew to Green Oxygen as a flying guest.

Love is the best fertilizer for watering a seedling, and now it makes it flourish.

No one can stop his growth.
