Chapter 071
Xiang Yuan was screaming in his heart, but unfortunately the work could not be postponed, and he had to go on this trip.
So he could only look at Xu Jingning sadly, and repeatedly emphasized that he should contact her by phone when he got back.
Seeing his expression, Xu Jingning held back a smile and nodded.
When he returned to the hotel and looked at his phone again, Xiang Yuan, who was already on the way, had sent him more than a dozen messages on WeChat, each one longer than the last, with a tone of accusation and questioning. Xu Jingning picked out a few to answer and briefly explained how his relationship with Yan Xun developed.
From being ambiguous on the surface, to adjusting our minds, we are now in the open love stage where the relationship has not yet been established.
He sent a message, and Xiang Yuan replied with an exclamation mark, looking extremely shocked and unbelievable.
Xiang Yuan: Huh? Huh? When did you two progress so fast? I didn’t notice anything at all!
Xiang Yuan: No! You both like each other, why don’t you be together? I don’t accept it!
Lemon: It’s just a lack of opportunity. Let’s wait for the film to be completed first, and put everything else on hold.
Xiang Yuan heard something else in this sentence and asked excitedly: Have you planned this a long time ago?
Lemon：Yeah.
Afterwards, Xiang Yuan immediately volunteered to join the assisting team. Xu Jingning couldn't refuse, so he had to agree to let him help a little.
After running and eating a big melon, Xiang Yuan was suddenly in a state of high excitement, and even forgot Xu Jingning's words to him to have a good rest.
So, he got excited for a moment and decided to share good things together. He quickly opened his phone and posted a Weibo with several lines of “Ahhhhhhhh”.

Comments:
[First... Why is Yuanyuan going crazy? ]
[You still have the time to post on Weibo, it seems you are in a good mood, what good things have happened to you? ]
Xiang Yuan replied: [I ate a melon, and the couple I was rooting for came true [crying]]
[? ? ? ? ? Is today the 32nd? Can Xiang Yuan find a true CP? ]
[Ah, but he went to visit Xu Jingning today! Maybe...]
[Fuck, that makes sense! Xu Jingning took you to eat melons but not us, I went to bombard Ningning's Weibo!!!]
[That is to say... is there a possibility... that the real CP that I'm supporting is actually Ning himself? ]
[Ah? Aren’t they a commercial couple? Besides, even if they are a real couple, Xiang Yuan wouldn’t have known about it just now. He’s so happy, it must be that the couple he thought would never be a couple has finally become a couple.]
[So which couple are you rooting for? Xiang Yuan, aren’t you a big sieve? Tell me quickly!]
Netizens were only having a small-scale excitement on the Internet. After all, it was too late at this point, and the fans were just having fun on their own. Before the news could reach Xu Jingning who was concentrating on filming, it died down.
As for Xiang Yuan, his agent discovered him in time and confiscated his phone.
In the next half month, in addition to shooting the ending scene, we also did some reshoots. With everyone's efforts, we finally arrived at the last wrap-up scene.
After many negotiations with the station, Director Fang finally managed to secure an evening when there were no trains and borrow the platform for filming.
While it was still light, everyone rushed to finish filming the scenes of sending Lin Cong and Duan Chengliang to the car. The only scene left was the scene of Lin Cong chasing the car.
It happened to be sunset, and Fang Shu made a strict request that they must hurry up and finish it in one go. Everyone was in a tense state, especially Xu Jingning. This was his home court, and he was carrying the pressure of the entire group as well as everyone's expectations.
Knowing that Teacher Duan was leaving on tonight's train, Lin Cong skipped evening self-study with the help of his classmates and ran all the way to the station. He took the ticket he had bought long ago and successfully entered the platform.
Lin Cong followed the team forward and was about to enter the station. His heart was beating faster. He tightly grasped the key chain in his hand and began to rehearse in his mind what he would say to Duan Chengliang when he said goodbye.
If he wanted to apologize, Duan Chengliang would definitely raise his eyebrows and say he didn't care. If he wanted to express his gratitude, it would seem a bit hypocritical.
More importantly, Lin Cong knew that she had something to hide. It would be really ugly if she couldn't hold back her tears.
Because he arrived too late, he entered the platform at the last minute. People were coming and going, and Lin Cong didn't know which bus Teacher Duan took, so he could only try to look for him through the window.
He had not been looking for a train for long when he heard the horn of a train starting. Lin Cong was afraid that it was Duan Chengliang's train, so he quickened his pace to see the last section. Unfortunately, he did not have time to see the train clearly until it had gone far away.
Looking up anxiously, he found a familiar figure standing on the opposite platform, with the ugly woven pendant hanging on the suitcase he was carrying.
That was the first monthly exam in the senior year of high school. He didn't get the agreed score and lost the bet to Duan Chengliang. At that time, Duan Chengliang openly laughed at him for doing it so ugly, but now he hung it on the handle of the suitcase openly.
Lin Cong ran hard towards Duan Chengliang's carriage, but just as he reached the other side, that train started moving.
In a hurry, Lin Cong started running after the carriage. He was only a little distance away from Duan Chengliang. As long as Teacher Duan turned around, he would be able to see him.
But he didn't look back.
The distance between the two of them grew larger and larger as the train accelerated, all the way to the end of the station. Lin Cong had to stop and stare at the carriage that was gradually disappearing from his sight. He panted and slowly squatted down.
At that time, the boy, who was always confident and unyielding, said that he would make a better-looking pendant, so beautiful that Duan Chengliang would apologize to him.
After studying hard for a while, he hung the new pendant on the keychain, but in the end, not only did he not give it away, he also never heard that apology.
His eyes were suddenly wet and blurry, tears were streaming down his face like water. Lin Congqing couldn't help crying, but the people around him just stared at him silently, no one stepped forward.
After a long time, a coat was put on his back, and a familiar breath came. He was hugged from behind and comforted softly: "Okay, it's over. You acted very well."
Xu Jingning originally wanted to laugh, but unfortunately she cried so hard that she couldn't stop, so she had to turn around and rub against someone's arms.
Yan Xun gently stroked his back, but before he could say a few words of comfort, he received a sudden, light kiss.
In a moment of shock, Xu Jingning had already stepped back a little, and made an excuse somewhat embarrassedly: "I just hadn't finished the scene yet, this time I'm kissing Teacher Duan on behalf of Lin Cong."
Yan Xun wanted to tease him and said a few more words: "Lin Cong and Teacher Duan were innocent afterwards."
Xu Jingning glared at him.
Do you have to expose it?
The two people's little action was not noticed by anyone until it was confirmed outside the venue that the film was finished. Director Fang announced the completion of the filming, and the staff immediately gathered around with a large bouquet of flowers.
Yan Xun took the bouquet and solemnly presented it to him: "Ningning, happy wrap-up."
Xu Jingning burst into laughter and said, "Well, happy wrap-up!"
Afterwards, everyone took a group photo together and accepted many gifts from the crew. Xu Jingning was almost too busy to keep going. Xu Xingcheng, who was well prepared, brought two assistants with him in advance. While accepting the gifts, he also returned the gifts on Xu Jingning's behalf.
After finally getting a chance to take a break to remove her makeup, Xu Xingcheng kept chattering about the arrangements for after returning home.
Xu Jingning's head was buzzing when she heard this, and she pleaded bitterly, "Sister, my dear sister, please let me go. We can talk about it after we go back, okay? There will be a wrap-up party later. Let me take a nap in peace."
"You're just getting started. If I don't explain it to you clearly, you really don't know how famous you are." Xu Xingcheng snorted coldly, "When we go back this time, you can choose the book."
The previous batch of books that were sent were all commercial books that only sought traffic. After all, Xu Jingning became famous suddenly, and whether he was just a flash in the pan or had real talent remained to be seen. After learning that he had joined Fang Shu's team, many people who had been waiting and watching began to take action. Now, the resources sent to Xu Xingcheng are basically of medium to high quality.
But she put all these resources on hold. There is only one month left this year, and Xu Jingning needs to calm down and have a good new year. She can talk about the rest after the new year.
It was only because Xu Xingcheng was afraid that the person would be spoiled and become picky in Director Fang's crew that he came all the way here to give him some warning.
After all, there is no other Fang Shu who can praise him as much as he does Yan Xun.
As she was talking, Xu Xingcheng saw that her brother had closed his eyes, with a faint dark blue color under his eyes. After all, she was not so cruel and still left him a quiet environment to rest.
When she opened her eyes again, her makeup had been removed, and the person accompanying her was Yan Xun.
"Awake?" Yan Xun brought him a glass of water. Seeing that he was indeed much more energetic, he felt relieved. "The wrap-up banquet is already halfway through. I saw that you were too tired, so I didn't call you over."
There was indeed a bit of smell on Yan Xun's body, it seemed that he had drunk a lot of wine with the staff.
Xu Jingning nodded: "Go ahead, at least show your face or something, it's not right not to go to the wrap party."
So, the two of them went to the booked banquet hall together. When they came in, many people had already left, but the main creators were still staying here to have fun. Fang Shu was so drunk that he let himself go. He didn't know who coaxed him, but he stood on the stage and sang loudly.
It's just tone-deaf, not a single word is in tune, but the singer seems extremely confident and very satisfied with it.
There were people around making a fuss, singing in chorus, and even an assistant director with a red neck and shaking his buttocks. The scene was extremely tragic.
Xu Jingning: “…”
What a chaotic scene this is.
"Oh, our lucky star is here!" Director Fang actually recognized him, his eyes sparkled, and he grinned, "Come on, come on, let's drink together!"
Yan Xun stretched out his hand to stop him: "Director Fang, please sober up. Ningning doesn't drink."
Fang Shu looked up vaguely, glanced at Yan Xun, and then slapped him on the back: "Oh! It's Xiao Xun!"
"I'm so touched, Yan Xun. I've always treated you as my son. Today, I'm so touched to see you entrusted with something. Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo."
Yan Xun: “…”
Xu Jingning: “Puff…”
As the only sober person at the table, the producer hastily pulled down Fang Shu's two unruly hands: "Okay, okay, you should talk less. If someone doesn't know, they might think it's a wedding banquet."
"What do you mean by 'think'? This is it!" Fang Shu said forcefully, "I'm even going to film a wedding documentary for them!"
This was said quite loudly, and everyone in the audience heard it and burst into laughter.
Yan Xun nodded politely: "Okay, Director Fang, keep your word when the time comes!"
He turned his head solemnly and looked at Xu Jingning with affection in his eyes: "Ningning, are you getting married?"
"Ah?" Xu Jingning followed his hint and glanced at Fang Shu who was staring at them. He felt a little amused for a moment, "Well, wait for me to choose a good day."
Director Fang was satisfied. He closed his eyes and fell straight backwards.
Fortunately, the person next to him reacted quickly and pulled him in time, otherwise his head would have hit the ground.
Everyone rushed forward in a hurry, fearing that something might happen to Director Fang. Then, they all heard a steady and powerful snoring.
Yan Xun laughed, found two people, and sent Fang Shu back to rest.
"What about us? Are we leaving too?" After the banquet, Xu Jingning saw that he had arranged everything and was ready to leave.
Yan Xun nodded: "Well, I will go back to Pingjiang tonight, what about you?"
After thinking about it, Xu Jingning decided: "I'll go with you."
The longer you can stay, the better.
After all, from now on... we will probably meet less often.
After returning to Pingjiang, Xu Jingning did not move back to Yan Xun's home, but moved to Xingchuan's employee dormitory while starting to look for a new residence.
After finishing the movie, Yan Xun turned his attention to working for the Song Corporation. As the end of the year approached, things became more and more complicated, and he was so busy that he didn't even have time to make a phone call.
Before, it was Yan Xun who sent him messages, and he would reply with a sentence or two from time to time, but Xu Jingning slowly discovered that in recent days, he was the one who took the initiative to find topics, and Yan Xun would only reply to messages at specific times.
Of course, every message received a response, but except for the "good morning" and "good night" that came every day, all other messages were replied to all at once.
Once, he happened to be in the same group with Xiang Yuan. During the break, he saw Xu Jingning staring at his phone. He walked over curiously and was immediately shown off.
"Oh my god, are all you people in love so sweet?" Xiang Yuan pretended to rub the goose bumps on his body. "I didn't even reply to my mom and sister's messages in such detail. I didn't miss a single word."
Xu Jingning smiled and said, "Are you envious? I envy you for dating someone too."
"I don't want to. Dating is troublesome."
These words reminded Xu Jingning that it was indeed quite troublesome.
I don’t know why someone is so roundabout. The filming of the movie has been completed for more than ten days, but he still doesn’t know how to confess his feelings.
Looking at the person lying leisurely beside him, Xu Jingning poked his arm and asked, "What on earth is Yan Xun worried about? It's been so many days and he still hasn't confessed his feelings."
Although he was very busy, he never missed a date during the two meetings and even arrived earlier than him.
A trace of surprise flashed across Xiang Yuan's face: "You two haven't gotten together yet?"
Then, he reacted: "Wait, are you waiting for him to confess?"
Xu Jingning nodded: "Yeah."
He was willing to wait because he vaguely felt that Yan Xun had a plan, but now Xu Jingning was a little doubtful whether his sensitivity was wrong.
"I thought you made all the careful arrangements just to confess your feelings yourself." Xiang Yuan scratched his head, a little confused, "Why do you care how he arranges it? As long as both of you love each other, does it matter who confesses?"
Xu Jingning thought about it and found that this made sense: "...Yes."
Xiang Yuan gave him a pitying look and said, "I told you that you can't fall in love. It will make you stupid."
Xu Jingning looked at him speechlessly.
Xiang Yuan laughed it off, but remembered to get back to the point: "So when do you plan to schedule your next date?"
Xu Jingning looked at the schedule and calculated: "Christmas, he and I are both free during those two days."
Coincidentally, this kind of festival is very suitable for falling in love.
