There was a brief moment of silence in the shed.
Both of them were looking at Shen Xingsui, creating an invisible pressure. Shen Xingsui felt ashamed and indignant under Zhang Sansan's gaze, but the director meant well, and it wouldn't be good to go against his wishes.
Shen Xingsui coughed lightly and answered simply, "I have."
Zhang San San looked over curiously upon hearing this.
Fu Jinxiao also glanced at him. In fact, the great movie star Fu was never interested in prying into other people's past or these kinds of gossips, but he was particularly interested in his lover.
Under the gazes of the two people, Shen Xingsui coughed lightly and said, "But that's all in the past."
"I used to like it, I definitely had that feeling." Shen Xingsui held the script and lowered her head slightly. "But not anymore."
Zhang San nodded in understanding, but he didn't notice that the smile on Fu Yingdi's lips gradually faded and the light in his eyes dimmed.
Zhang San San said, "Okay, Sui Sui, just try to recall that feeling, and we'll film it again later."
Shen Xingsui nodded.
The director left the studio, leaving only the two people sitting face to face inside.
Fu Jinxiao withdrew his gaze and sat back down in his chair to continue reading the script. The man's handsome profile appeared somewhat sharp under the lights of the ceiling. He didn't say a word, but he exuded a serious aura.
Shen Xingsui coughed lightly: "Teacher Fu, it's almost lunchtime, what would you like to eat?"
Fu Jinxiao: "Not hungry."
"Why?" Shen Xingsui looked at him curiously and said, "I heard from Feifei that you didn't eat much this morning."
Fu Jinxiao paused in turning the page, glanced at Shen Xingsui, and sneered, "You're full of anger."
...
The shed was quiet for a moment.
Then, Shen Xingsui realized what was happening. Looking at the still serious, mature and composed movie star, he finally couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I can't really recall that feeling of liking someone so intensely before."
Fu Jinxiao looked up at him.
Shen Xingsui sat beside him, and the young man looked at him earnestly with a faint smile on his face. His eyes were serious as he looked at him and said, "Because the love in my heart is much more than just liking."
Fu Jinxiao's eyes turned dark and brooding.
Shen Xingsui, who was standing up, was somewhat shy and timid, but he still leaned in front of Fu Jinxiao. The young man bent down and kissed the man's handsome face, whispering, "I love you."
He tried to run away after kissing her, but was suddenly pulled back.
Fu Jinxiao was much stronger than him, but he didn't hurt him. The man easily pulled him back into his arms and deepened the kiss. Their breaths mingled, and Shen Xingsui heard his deep, husky voice say in his ear, "When did you first meet me?"
Shen Xingsui thought for a moment and replied, "Probably in high school."
Fu Jinxiao smiled and said, "Then why did you become a fan of me? I remember Jian Zhi also debuted around that time."
"Hmm... there are many reasons." Shen Xingsui answered softly, then felt that there was nothing to say about her infatuated behavior, so she said, "At that time, I felt very confused, and because my brother is Jian Zhi, once he attended an event, and there was a venue next door where your concert was being held. I secretly went to take a look, and that's when I saw you..."
As he spoke, he himself became a little embarrassed.
Fu Jinxiao whispered, "You saw me, and then you fell in love with me?"
Shen Xingsui blushed. He hadn't expected Fu Jinxiao to be so blunt. Although it seemed to be true, he wasn't just judging by looks!
"I thought you were incredibly confident and radiant when you sang," Shen Xingsui said gently. "Back then, I had very little confidence in my own music. I felt I was really, really bad. But when I saw you, I realized you were different. When you stood on stage, your confidence was like all the light should be shining on you. Your grasp of music and your attitude towards life were things that were very distant from me. But I liked watching you; I just didn't dare to get close to you..."
Fu Jinxiao remained silent for a long while.
Perhaps Shen Xingsui's words were somewhat hesitant, and even sounded unclear to those who didn't quite understand him, but Fu Jinxiao understood them, understood the child's unspeakable suffering and tiny expectations.
Fu Jinxiao sighed softly, "I regret it."
Shen Xingsui looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"I should have asked Meican to arrange more fan meetings for me," he said, noticing the smile in Fu Jinxiao's eyes as she looked at him. "I made a mistake."
Shen Xingsui's earlobes turned red as he listened to his words. He said softly, "It's okay if we don't do many."
Fu Jinxiao raised an eyebrow: "Why?"
“Because…” Shen Xingsui murmured these two words, lowered her head, and answered softly, “I have attended almost every one of your fan meetings, but sometimes I can only watch from afar because of ticket prices or other reasons, and I don’t have many opportunities to shake hands or meet you.”
Fu Jinxiao's eyes darkened slightly. After a moment of silence, he gently kissed Shen Xingsui's cheek and whispered, "I'll reserve a VIP seat for you at future fan meetings."
Shen Xingsui asked curiously, "Where is the VIP section?"
Fu Jinxiao's smile deepened. He buried his head in Shen Xingsui's shoulder, his breath gentle yet carrying a hint of ambiguous entanglement, and whispered, "In bed."
"..."
Seven months after filming "The Lonely City"
Today, the filming of the entire movie is about to wrap up. The last scene is Xu Yan falling off his horse. He is a famous general who has never been afraid when facing tens of thousands of enemy troops. He has been in the army for many years and is an excellent horseman. Even the bravest soldiers in the army could not knock him off his horse. However, when he learned of Fang Zhiwen's death, he fell off his horse.
The armor was heavy, and the man who fell to the ground looked quite disheveled.
People gathered around: "General...!"
Xu Yan reached out, stopping the crowd from approaching. He tried to stand up, supporting himself with one hand, but his limbs seemed to have lost all strength. The news of Fang Zhiwen's death made him feel as if his vision had gone black. He felt a tightness in his chest and actually vomited blood.
A voice came from the director's booth: "Okay, cut!"
The surrounding equipment and personnel suddenly stopped, and all the staff began to applaud:
"Congratulations to Teacher Fu on wrapping up filming."
"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Fu."
"Thank you, Teacher Fu."
After this scene was completed, Xu Yan's scenes in "Serenade of Peaceful Joy" came to a complete end, and the filming of this movie, which lasted for 7 months, was about to come to a close. Shen Xingsui and Feifei came over from the side, both of them a little worried.
Back in the lounge, Fu Jinxiao leaned back on the sofa to rest.
After his clothes were changed, Shen Xingsui sat beside him, holding ointment and a hot towel to warm his leg. Fu Jinxiao had suffered an old injury while filming years ago, and his leg could not withstand violent impacts. He hadn't used a stunt double for the scene where he fell off the horse, and the old injury had already flared up on the ground.
Shen Xingsui moved very gently, and her voice was filled with unconcealed heartache: "There are too many wire work and action scenes in the later part of this drama, and you have a lot of new injuries on your legs. Now that filming has wrapped up, we'll find some time in the next day or two to go to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up, and then you'll rest for a month to recover."
Fu Jinxiao leaned back on the sofa, his handsome face showing some fatigue. The pain from his old injuries made him look pale, but even so, he still smiled when facing his lover: "Then you don't need to be so careful. They are all old injuries, I know what I'm doing."
Shen Xingsui glared at him angrily: "What do you know? This isn't a minor injury; it concerns your health. How can you not care?"
Cute yet fierce.
Long ago, after Fu Jinxiao became famous, because of his status, no one dared to speak to him like that for a long time. But for some reason, he couldn't get angry at all when Shen Xingsui acted like that.
Fu Jinxiao smiled indulgently: "Yes, yes, I'll listen to Teacher Shen."
Shen Xingsui pursed his lips, then lowered his head to use a towel to reduce the swelling on him, saying softly, "Don't take it lightly, don't take care of yourself."
Fu Jinxiao knew he was in pain, and chuckled, "What's wrong? This is nothing. If you were there when you broke your leg and bled a lot, you would have fainted."
Shen Xingsui felt even more heartbroken at the thought. He angrily poked the other bruise on Fu Jinxiao's side: "I know about that incident. I saw it on the news. Why couldn't you have hired a stunt double? Do you know how dangerous that was? What if something had really happened? You broke your leg, but it was put back in place. What if you were left with a disability?"
Fu Jinxiao gasped and clicked her tongue: "Go easy, are you trying to murder your husband?"
Shen Xingsui glared at him with red eyes.
Fu Jinxiao watched him take care of her. Outside, the filming had wrapped up and the atmosphere was lively, but inside, it was quiet. Shen Xingsui was applying a hot towel to her leg and applying ointment to reduce the swelling. Everything was so natural, as if time had slowly settled down, peaceful and beautiful.
He used to have no longing for love or being with another person, but now, because of Shen Xingsui, his heart is exceptionally peaceful, and he is filled with longing for the future to be with another person.
"Knock knock knock".
There was a knock on the door.
Zhang San San came in and saw Shen Xing Sui applying medicine to Fu Jin Xiao. He was moved by the deep bond between the master and disciple.
Shen Xingsui respectfully greeted, "Director."
"Sui Sui," Zhang San San said with a smile, "Did I disturb you?"
Shen Xingsui shook her head: "No, Director, is there something you need? Please sit down."
Zhang Sansan sat down, holding the documents, and said softly, "I'm here to discuss some things with you two."
Fu Jinxiao smiled and said, "Please speak."
"After our movie is released, we'll definitely need some promotion, and there might be some hype surrounding the romantic pairings or something." Zhang San San pushed up his glasses, hesitatingly asking, "Is this convenient for you?"
Generally speaking, such matters definitely require the consent of the artist and their team.
Especially since this person is Fu Jinxiao, a top-tier national celebrity. Unless he himself gives permission, no one dares to use him for publicity; trying to ride on his coattails is practically suicide.
Fu Jinxiao smiled and said, "It's convenient, we'll cooperate."
Zhang Sansan breathed a sigh of relief. Since they were both willing, the biggest problem was solved. He said, "Actually, there won't be any excessive hype. It's just a matter of cooperating during the movie promotion period. After that, it won't be a problem for the two of you to break off the partnership. Don't worry, the team we hired is very discreet and won't affect your future development or cause you any trouble..."
As he was speaking, Shen Xingsui and Fu Jinxiao exchanged a smile.
Finally, Shen Xingsui spoke softly, "Director, you don't need to worry about these things. We are very willing to cooperate, and we don't feel any psychological burden."
Zhang San was taken aback: "Huh?"
Fu Jinxiao and Shen Xingsui were both looking at him, and the atmosphere suddenly became very subtle.
Sitting on the sofa, Zhang San San suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable. Looking at the two people in front of him, memories of their past interactions flooded his mind. He used to think that the relationship between these two as master and disciple was really good, but now that he was being looked at like this, a somewhat unbelievable guess slowly emerged.
Just when Shen Xingsui and Fu Jinxiao thought he was about to reveal some truth...
Zhang Sansan lowered his head and wiped away his tears: "I really didn't expect you two to be so kind to me, willing to cooperate with my work like this. I will definitely make this movie well to repay you!"
"..."
The room fell silent.
