Chapter 103 Talk about the Day After

The host asked what the short stories serialized on Weibo meant, and 28-year-old Yu Wen smiled.

"The prototypes come from all kinds of friends around me. I always think that it is a very lucky thing to meet them. Fans always say that the cats in the stories look like me. In fact, it is true that the cats are me."

28-year-old Yu Wen has passed the rising period of his career, and the peak of his popularity has also passed. He has stabilized in the top-tier position in China. In recent years, the company has increased cooperation with foreign production companies, trying to step out of the comfort zone and expand his business scope.

A few months ago, he starred in a Hollywood blockbuster, playing a half-orc. After returning, he posted a short story on Weibo. The full text is about a thousand words, lighthearted and humorous, telling the story of a lost cat who came to an unfamiliar forest, went through adventures and grew up, and finally settled down in the forest.

At first, fans thought the short story was written for this half-orc character, after all, Yu Wen mentioned in an interview that the other half of this half-orc is a Devon Rex cat. The story also made up for the half-beast's regret - it had no name, no relatives or friends, and only lived for fourteen days. Its body turned into ashes in a fire, and its last words before death were: "The sun is so beautiful."

Yu Wen wrote this short story to make up for his regrets.

The cat in the story accidentally strayed into the forest and got help from many small animals on the way home. Unfortunately, it still couldn't find its way home in the end. The optimistic cat decided to build a small house for itself in the forest.

Fans like this short story very much. It is optimistic and open-minded, full of the beauty of fairy tales. It was forwarded over a million times soon after it was published, and it became a hot search again when the movie was broadcast. As the attention gets higher and higher, the analysis of the story gets deeper and deeper. Netizens who are interested in the story find that some of the small animals in the story vaguely resemble people around Yu Wen.

"Young Snow Leopard, Young Snow Leopard's Uncle, Young Snow Leopard's Father... This spectrum is related..."

"It can be seen that Xiao Yu has no imagination. He made up the whole story."

"No more pretending. Xiao Yu is good. I have my own choice for the bad guys."

"Then the question is, the pair of husky brothers in the story..."

"Mr. Feng: It can't be me."

"Xi Su: Same as above."

Facing the curious questions of netizens, Yu Wen did not respond until a month later.

After winning the most valuable awards at home and abroad for his art films in the past two years, his life rhythm has been like this, slow and leisurely. His activity in front of the camera has been greatly reduced. He only goes on Weibo once every ten days or half a month, which is completely the style of entering retirement life in advance.

His career has reached its peak, and his fans don't urge him to close. If they really miss him, they will go to his Weibo and go crazy. When Yu Wen sees this, he will come out and make a post to comfort the fans' longing.

Yu Wen: [The snow leopard is Xie Heyu, the long-tailed tit is Yi Ming... I have many lovely friends, and I am willing to share them with Mao Mao. ]

Mao Mao is the nickname of the orc.

It has no name, but fortunately, its cat-like characteristics are obvious, and the audience usually calls it "Mao Mao".

Netizens were excited and asked if the husky was Xi Su.

Yu Wen replied to the comment: [...Xi Su refused to admit it. Writing

is not Yu Wen's forte, but this kind of plain and delicate utopian story is touching enough to get his response, and netizens urged him to continue writing.

The call was too high, and Yu Wen could not pretend not to hear it. He continued to write, posting a few hundred words on Weibo every ten days or half a month, writing some boring but interesting daily life in the forest.

Netizens named this series of short stories "Animal Forest".

In this interview, the host asked many questions about the "Animal Forest" series, such as whether there is an idea to make it into a movie, whether it is laying the groundwork for transformation into production, who is the prototype of the cat...

Yu Wen answered them one by one.

"My story can't support a movie. After all, these words are just carriers of some emotions and are not complete. I don't have the idea of ​​becoming a producer. I know that many actors will switch to behind-the-scenes work after their careers reach the peak, but that has nothing to do with me. I don't have such a goal of blossoming in all aspects."

"The prototype of the cat is a cat, and also me."

-

"Why am I a husky?"

Xi Su crunched on the cucumber, wandering behind Yu Wen like a ghost, repeating the above questions.

This is another home of Yu Wen and Xie Heyu, located in a prosperous area in the center of the city, with three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms. It is not as luxurious as a villa, but it is "quiet".

- It means that you will not be disturbed by Xi Su who is too idle.

Two years ago, Yu Wen and Xie Heyu went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the red book and became a couple in the legal sense. There are both advantages and disadvantages to having relatives and friends close by. The advantage is that it is convenient to visit, and the disadvantage is that it is too convenient to visit.

Hearing that Xie Heyu had married, the elders of the Xie family who were eager to create chaos in the world returned to S City from all over the world. During that time, the whole community became lively, and Xie family members were strolling everywhere. They would say to everyone they met: "Hey, how did you know that our little Xie got married?"

After the novelty finally passed, most of the relatives dispersed. Yu Wen thought he could finally enjoy his two-person world with peace of mind, but in the end, he still had to stay overnight in a sticky candy.

Six years have passed, but this guy's emotional intelligence has not improved at all. He has no idea how to read people's expressions. When he gets tired of eating takeout at home, he comes to Yu Wen's house for free meals, which frequently affects their time alone.

"Go home? It's still early." Facing Yu Wen's reminder, Xi Su was unconscious, "Isn't Teacher Xie washing fruits? I'll finish my fruits before I leave."

As a result, after eating the fruits, he started to have a midnight snack again.

At the end of last year, Yu Wen couldn't stand it anymore, so he bought a house in the city center, which was a 50-minute drive away from the community, and moved there with Xie Heyu.

Xi Su finally realized that he had been a third wheel for more than a year, and called to apologize, but he didn't hear any shame in his voice.

"Did I bother you? Hey, just say it straight. What's the relationship between us? Why are you being so shy?"

Yu Wen: "I told you not to come, so you didn't come?"

Xi Su: "No."

Look.

Xi Su is such a greedy guy. It's useless to say anything. At most, I can call him before he comes to visit next time. It's impossible to ask him not to come.

Not only is he greedy, but he is also lazy. After Yu Wen moved away, he didn't come for half a year. Some time ago, Chu Han happened to work nearby and asked him to come to Yu Wen's house to eat hot pot together. The boy said that he fell and had a backache.

Chu Han was worried that he was in trouble, so he and Yu Wen drove all the way back to the dormitory at lightning speed. They saw this bastard eating watermelon in the living room with his feet on his back.

"…"

Bullshit, everything is just an excuse for laziness.

This time, for a 'Husky', he actually traveled thousands of miles, trekked through mountains and rivers, and worked hard... to question Yu Wen.

The doorbell rang, and when he saw Xi Su, he thought the sun was rising from the west.

"Because Huskies are cute, just like you." Yu Wen said nonsense without changing his expression.

After Xi Su finished eating the cucumber, he rummaged in the refrigerator, found a carrot and asked Yu Wen if he could eat it.

"Do you really think I'm stupid? It's not like I haven't read your Weibo. The Husky in it is so silly, how can it be cute?"

The cat came out of the room, Yu Wen hugged it, put it on the cat climbing frame, and took out cat food from the cabinet.

The cat is a Devon Rex breed, which he adopted after finishing the filming. It has no name, so it is called Maomao.

Xi Su was chewing carrots, Yu Wen was lowering his head to pour cat food, and the cat was tiptoeing and jumping, looking clever.

Yu Wen: "There is no conflict between being silly and cute, so does it affect your income?"

"...That's not the case." Xi Su thought so, "Then give me some highlights next time, being too silly will affect my acting."

As he spoke, the smart door lock made a beeping sound, and Xie Heyu came back from walking the dog, wearing a sports headband, and her collar was a little damp.

Xi Su turned around and saw Xie Heyu bringing in a... husky.

"Blue Hair performed exceptionally well today, running four laps around the lake." Xie Heyu lowered his head to change his shoes, not noticing Xi Su who was in his blind spot, and smiled faintly, "This week's exercise volume has reached the target."

This husky was raised earlier, and Yu Wen spotted it at the pet store in the second month after moving in. It occasionally destroys the house, but more often it is lazy and gluttonous. When it comes to exercise, it pretends to be lame, like a fake husky.

The husky walked in and made eye contact with a stranger on the sofa, and stopped in his tracks.

Xi Su: "...What did you call it?"

Xie Heyu only noticed Xi Su on the sofa at this time, hesitated for a moment, and looked at Yu Wen.

"Blue Hair." Yu Wen stroked the cat and turned his head and said, "Don't you think it looks like you?"

Especially the way it pretends to be lame, they look exactly like you.

The man and the dog stared at each other from a distance, in silence.

The dog's eyes are both intelligent and deep. Xi Su feels that they are exactly like his own.

He dyed his blue hair back a few years ago for filming. The hair of this husky has nothing to do with blue, but Xi Su feels that this dog has some of his shadow when he was young.

So wise, it looks like an old friend.

Xi Su stretched out a hand to the blue-haired dog with admiration:

"Nihao."

-

In the evening, Chu Han called to ask about the subsequent development of the lop-eared rabbit and the cat in "Animal Forest". Yu

Wen was silent, "Later, a world crisis broke out later. Aliens appeared and took the cat away. Then the lop-eared rabbit turned into an iron-blooded Saiyan and bravely saved it..."

Before he finished listening, Chu Han excitedly said, "Really?!"

Yu Wen: "..."

Men are young until they die. Teacher Chu is the best proof of this sentence.

After the tireless research and analysis of netizens, all the animals that have appeared in "Animal Forest" so far have been decoded. The lop-eared rabbit is Chu Han.

The lost cat walked into the forest. The first animal he met was an older snow leopard. The snow leopard licked the dirty rain off his body and gave him a handful of leaves to shelter him from the wind and rain. The

second small animal he met was a lop-eared rabbit.

The lop-eared rabbit is shy and timid. At first glance, it seems difficult to approach. The small animals in the forest don't want to play with him, but he has a run-down and leaky cabin. It rained heavily that day. The cat shook off the rain on his body and knocked on the door of the cabin.

The lop-eared rabbit peeked out from behind the door.

The cat was soaking wet, with leaves scattered all over his body, but he was full of energy, with long and strong limbs and a lively tail. He said, "Excuse me, which way should we go after leaving the forest?" "

I don't know." The lop-eared rabbit whispered, thought for a while, and then said, "But I think other animals should know. I know where they live and I can accompany you to find them."

The cat said brightly, "Thank you."

The cat and the rabbit set out on a journey to find the way.

The lop-eared rabbit brought an umbrella made of leaves from home. The two little animals squeezed under the umbrella and shrank into a small ball. When the cat was tired, the lop-eared rabbit let him hold his ears. When the lop-eared rabbit was tired, the cat rolled him up with his tail.

Whether in terms of personality or the time of acquaintance, Lop-eared Rabbit clearly points to Chu Han. The most recognizable family in the entire series is the snow leopard family, and the other is the Lop-eared Rabbit.

Yu Wen and Chu Han's six-year friendship was brought up by netizens for the nth time.

Once the friendship between the two begins to be recalled, the wedding four years ago will be brought up and "whipped".

Feng Chengzhou and Chu Han got their marriage certificate early. They participated in a love variety show together a few years ago. Not long after the love variety show ended, the two went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to stamp their marriage certificate. The wedding was later made up, and Yu Wen attended as a best man. In

the final bouquet throwing session, Chu Han aimed at Yu Wen, but Yu Wen did not understand his good intentions at the time, and stood still, watching the excitement. Chu Han turned his head and saw that he did not move, so he rushed into the crowd to grab the bouquet with the bridesmaids.

"...I'll throw it again." Finally, Chu Han rushed out of the crowd with a head full of broken grass leaves, and fortunately he got the bouquet back.

He threw it again, but Yu Wen still didn't understand his eye signal and just kept eating melon seeds. Chu Han rushed back to the crowd to grab the bouquet.

This happened three times, which was a famous wedding scene.

Feng Chengzhou couldn't stand it and said, "Just give it to him directly."

Finally, Yu Wen was pushed onto the stage to receive the bouquet.

He probably just reacted, and there was a hint of restraint and politeness in his expression. He felt even more guilty when he met Chu Han's cold eyes.

In a blink of an eye, it has been four years since that dramatic wedding.

Netizens found their photos from their early years. They looked much younger six years ago than they are now, but if you look closely, it seems that there has been no change.

"Two great faces, they look like they will never age."

"I'm a little curious about what they'll look like when they're old..."

"Same curiosity."

"Hhh, it's fun for two old men to get together to chat and sunbathe."

"Great! The cat and the lop-eared rabbit will be together forever."

-The

Forest Series is a story composed of countless short clips.

This story is not complete, but it is warm. After half a year, Yu Wen's online frequency has become lower and lower. Perhaps he is afraid that he will never update again one day, and fans are crying and begging him to give the cat an ending.

Yu Wen had to open the old file and re-sort out the whole story.

The cat met the kind-hearted Uncle Snow Leopard and the kind-hearted lop-eared rabbit. Then Uncle Snow Leopard brought the strongest young snow leopard in the family to him.

"Don't look at his young age, he is the fastest runner in our snow leopard family! He will get you out of the forest soon!" Uncle Snow Leopard said enthusiastically.

The cat looked up.

... So tall.

The young snow leopard has a cold personality and is not friendly to people, let alone cats. The lop-eared rabbit is a little afraid of him.

But the cat is not afraid.

"Snow leopard, do you know where the exit of the forest is?" The cat walked in front of him, swinging its thin tail and wrapping around the snow leopard's front feet.

"...I don't know." The snow leopard moved slightly and did not break away. "I have never left the forest, but there are knowledgeable long-tailed tits living in the forest. I can take you to ask her."

So the cat and the lop-eared rabbit took the Snow Leopard Express, shuttled through the woods, and enjoyed the speed of the wind.

However, a small accident happened halfway. The cat did not hold the snow leopard's hair on the back of the neck firmly and fell off his back.

He was thrown into the jungle by inertia, and it was very loud.

The lop-eared rabbit was so anxious that he wanted to cry. The snow leopard paced back and forth outside the bushes, wanting to go in to look for him, but afraid of accidentally stepping on him.

At this time, the cat rolled out of the bushes by himself.

"I'm fine." He shook off the grass debris on his body, stood up with his head held high, like an indomitable little warrior, even though he had many wounds on his body and looked miserable. "It will be healed in a few days. Let's continue to look for the tit!"

"The exit of the forest?" The long-tailed tit's voice was crisp and beautiful, but her curiosity was more outstanding than her voice. "Why do you want to leave the forest? What is outside the forest? Is it a new world? Are you from outside..."

The cat answered every question of hers seriously, waiting for her to give the answer he expected.

However, the titmouse hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know either... But I know a lot of small animals. You can go to my house to rest for a night, and I'll help you find out!"

The cat was disappointed, but still said politely, "Thank you."

The long-tailed tit's home is very solid and airtight. It is one of the best "big mansions" in the forest.

The cat and the lop-eared rabbit snuggled together and slept soundly. In the middle of the night, the cat felt something warm and moist licking him.

It was the tongue of the snow leopard.

The snow leopard carefully licked the wound on his body, with gentle, compassionate and apologetic movements.

The cat woke up, stretched out his paws to hug the snow leopard's front paws, and whispered, "It's okay, I don't feel any pain, I can lick it myself."

The snow leopard gently rubbed him with the tip of his nose, and his breath was warm.

The cat found it was super warm to hug the snow leopard.

That night, he abandoned his good friend the lop-eared rabbit, rolled into the snow leopard's arms, and slept the sweetest sleep since he got lost.

The next morning, the long-tailed tit, who had been asking around, brought them sad news.

"There is no exit in the forest. The forest is the forest. No small animals can leave, and no small animals can come in." The long-tailed tit flapped its wings and gestured, trying to convey the meaning of the wise men in the forest.

...Although she didn't understand.

But the smart cat understood.

He knew he couldn't go home.

The sunrise in the forest was exceptionally magnificent. The cat sat silently on the edge of the cliff watching the sun rise. The lop-eared rabbit and the snow leopard sat behind him and talked to him carefully.

The lop-eared rabbit said, "Let's look for it again, maybe there is a way..."

Snow leopard: "I can take you out."

They racked their brains to comfort the cat, but the cat said nothing and did not respond for a long time.

The sun rose from behind the majestic mountains, and the golden color spread all over the earth.

"Let's build a small house." Suddenly, the cat said.

Neither the lop-eared rabbit nor the snow leopard responded.

The cat turned around and smiled at the two friends, cheerful and happy, without a trace of lethargy.

"I think I need a small house of my own."

-The

Forest Series ended here. Yu Wen received many calls to purchase copyrights, of course, he did not agree.

He is still clear about his own weight. The popularity on the Internet is largely attributed to his own traffic. This story full of mistakes cannot support a movie. Rather than being caught in a public opinion storm by the magic change, it is better not to release it.

On the red carpet at the end of the year, reporters interviewed him and asked why the ending of the forest series was just a small house. Did the cat really not go home?

Yu Wen was dressed in a decent high-end suit and smiled gently.

There is no difference between the 28-year-old Yu Wen and the 22-year-old Yu Wen. Time favors him. The carving knife only leaves some beautiful traces on him, such as temperament and charm.

Compared to the lively and active teacher Yu in previous years, he now looks more calm and reserved, with a calmness that is as calm as if the sky is falling. He walked in several shows in previous years, and now he stands anywhere, just like he is shooting a magazine.

"The cat needs a small house to live in the forest, so the ending is a small house, isn't it good?"

The reporter said embarrassedly, as if it was not perfect enough.

Yu Wen smiled but said nothing.

There was no follow-up to this question.

When leaving the venue, Yu Wen took the VIP channel and passed by the hall. He saw blue and yellow signboards on the roadside connected together. In the vast night, the blue and yellow were shining like stars, and the number was endless, like a brilliant galaxy.

Yu Wen stopped and went out to say hello to the fans.

The cell phone in his pocket rang, he took it out and saw several unread messages.

Xie Heyu said she was waiting for him in the car, and asked him if he was hungry and wanted to have a midnight snack.

Chu Han asked him to have hot pot with her, and sent an address and a voice message. Yi Ming's high-pitched voice hit his eardrums: "Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu! Come quickly! Let's have hot pot together. We are all acquaintances. We are waiting for you!"

Xi Su sent a message saying that Lanmao took it away by himself.

[The day before yesterday, I video-called you, and it kept barking. It was obvious that it missed me. I took it back to the dormitory to play for two days, and I promise to take good care of it for you.]

Ever since seeing Lanmao at his house, Xi Su asked for the door lock code of his house. Sometimes when Yu Wen was on a business trip and had no time to take care of cats and dogs, Xi Su would come all the way to feed them.

Yu Wen looked at the message and laughed angrily.

Scrolling down, there are also a lot of messy news from Xie Jiamao, Xie Jialin, other friends...

Yu Wen stood at the main entrance, put away his phone, smiled at his fans, and bowed before leaving.

He didn't go home either.

But he built his own little house.

The author has something to say:

I will temporarily change the order and write a few scattered extras first. The if line where Xiao Yu travels back with Xiao Xie will be updated at the end.
