Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Allergic to him?
"Mr. Lin, your symptoms may be allergies."
"Allergy?" Lin Luochen looked at the rash on his arm and felt it was unfamiliar.
Lin Luochen felt a little uncomfortable when he just sat at the dinner table. After separating from Wei Ran, the red and itchy area on his body expanded to a terrifying extent. At the driver's reminder, Lin Luochen went to the hospital, but he didn't think he was allergic.
"Yes." The doctor asked, "Do you have any allergic history? What did you eat just now? Your current condition seems to be caused by an allergen."
Lin Luochen shook his head, not remembering any history of allergies.
The types of food he ate abroad were relatively limited, always just a few, and he never had an allergic reaction.
As for what he had eaten just now, he didn't eat anything special during the meal, just the usual dishes.
...Wei Ran didn't seem to have much appetite either.
…
I guess he couldn't eat even if he was hungry after seeing me.
His body was itchy, and Lin Luochen's thoughts were racing: But Wei Ran has a good son.
He vaguely remembered that the children of his family were always chased by servants to feed them at mealtimes. But Wei Ran's child was very different - Dudu would feed his father.
Wei Ran looked like she couldn't refuse the baby, so she ate a lot.
Lin Luochen picked up a few things that Wei Ran had eaten and ate them, including vegetables and meat. He still couldn't taste anything, but he had eaten a lot without realizing it.
…
He couldn't remember what he had eaten.
"Thanks."
Having just received a desensitization injection in his arm, Lin Luochen slowly put down his rolled-up shirt with one hand.
"You'd better get an allergen test. Your condition is quite serious, but we don't have any relevant records here. This issue needs to be taken seriously."
The doctor beside him said, "It just so happens that you, Mr. Lin, have blood samples stored at the main hospital. I will arrange for them to be tested directly there."
Lin Luochen came to a private hospital under the Lin family, where his blood samples and stem cells have always been stored. It is not difficult to detect allergens and there is no need to draw blood again.
He nodded nonchalantly, then took his suit jacket and put it on, saying, "Okay."
Lin Luochen left the hospital and got into the car driven by Zhong Xinghuo.
Zhong Xinghuo is an elite that Lin Luochen spent a lot of money to discover two years ago. He is also Lin Luochen's senior at MIT.
Although he belongs to the Lin Group, he basically only listens to Lin Luochen's arrangements and is closer to Lin Luochen than others.
"Luo Chen, are you feeling okay?" Zhong Xinghuo asked.
Lin Luochen raised his hand and said calmly, "It's just a little allergic."
"Allergic to him?"
Lin Luochen raised his head sharply, and while sitting in the back seat, he exchanged glances with Zhong Xinghuo in front of him through the rearview mirror, feeling very depressed.
Zhong Xinghuo immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing. Just as he said "I'm sorry", he saw Lin Luochen raised his fingertips and said self-deprecatingly, "He's more like he's allergic to me."
“…”
Zhong Xinghuo decisively changed the subject: "Do you really plan to focus on developing your career in the country?"
Zhong Xinghuo actually didn't quite agree with Lin Luochen's decisive decision to give up the North American and European markets. It had nothing to do with interests, but he was more familiar with the situation within the Lin family.
"The domestic market is booming right now, and those old guys in your family are no pushovers. I'm afraid they won't give you such a big piece of fat easily. I heard someone has already gone to your grandfather to complain..."
Lin Luochen, who was sitting in the back row, didn't seem to mind his worries. He simply said, "Is your wife and child okay with my sudden transfer?"
Zhong Xinghuo: "Hey, what's your opinion? I'm so happy. Bi Qing's parents couldn't get used to living abroad, so they returned home last year. He was really reluctant to leave, so now's the perfect time. Once I settle down, he can quit his job and move back with the kids. It would be best if they never leave."
"Um."
Lin Luochen responded: "Just don't affect your relationship as a couple."
“…”
Based on his experience, Zhong Xinghuo believed that Mr. Lin, who said this, had become a completely different person - Lin Luochen, who was so decisive and ruthless a few days ago and seemed to be able to not recognize any relatives, would definitely not say such a sentence.
He observed Lin Luochen's expression for a while, and suddenly said, "Since you care so much about him, why don't you check it out again?"
Zhong Xinghuo didn't know Wei Ran, but he knew that his boss had been driven crazy recently because of that celebrity named Wei Ran, so he was even more confused: "At least you should know who the mother of that child is? Since you are so curious..."
"I'm not curious." Lin Luochen denied it flatly.
Zhong Xinghuo: “…”
The car fell into silence.
After a while, the car smoothly drove through two streets, and Lin Luochen suddenly said, "He is single now."
"Single...single what?"
Lin Luochen in the back row frowned.
"Oh, I see."
Zhong Xinghuo was concentrating on driving, and after a moment he realized that they were still discussing the previous topic. He couldn't help but divert his attention and said, "You're single, so there's really no need to know who the child's mother is... But since Mr. Wei is single now, you should take the initiative."
"……initiative?"
"Ahem." Zhong Xinghuo had only one love experience. In the beginning, Bi Qing pursued him, but later it was him who pursued Bi Qing. It took the two of them ten years of toying around before they were really together.
Based on his experience as a person who has been through this, when you can't let go of someone, you should fight for them immediately.
However, the stereotype formed during their two years of working together was too deep. He always felt that Lin Luochen was not the kind of person who would lose his mind because of love, so he did not dare to make any suggestions.
Even if we take a step back, Mr. Lin paid him three million yuan a year to work, not to be an emotional consultant. He only cared about his leader's emotional state because he was his junior.
Zhong Xinghuo said vaguely: "Mr. Wei is single anyway. If you still have feelings for him... it's not illegal to pursue him."
“Chase, chase…?”
Chasing Wei Ran? Lin Luochen frowned fiercely.
It’s not like I haven’t pursued her before.
The happiest memory was the night he caught up with Wei Ran.
As far as he could remember, the most embarrassing and heartbreaking moment in his life was two days later when Wei Ran dumped him.
Lin Luochen leaned back slightly and remained silent.
Perhaps it was because the anti-allergy shot was so strong, he felt a little tired.
When a person is tired, his mind can't help but wander.
Lin Luochen then thought of the pale Wei Ran who was as thin as a piece of paper and was trapped in the wall by him just now.
.
The TV series "Night Walk" is nearing its end, and the increasing number of views has increased Wei Ran's publicity work.
Today there will be a live broadcast event between the main creators.
Ji Yangyun: "The final payment for the variety show City Running has arrived. Because the episode you were a guest on also had over 70 million views this week, the production team paid an extra 500,000 yuan according to the contract."
Wei Ran was sitting in front of the mirror, his hair being manipulated by the stylist, and he looked very obedient. When he heard what Ji Yangyun said, he looked a little confused for a moment, but still nodded.
Ji Yangyun knew he was confused again when he saw him like this. He was probably still thinking about rushing back to film after the live broadcast, so he took the initiative to remind him: "You bought a sweet potato and it made the sweet potato stall popular. It's normal for you to make a variety show popular too."
"Oh." Wei Ran understood. So this was so popular. The audience actually loved watching him eat sweet potatoes... Thank you so much for the love.
Wei Ran lowered her eyes and thanked him sincerely in her heart.
Ji Yangyun: "...It's not that I like watching you buy sweet potatoes, but you are a person... forget it."
The agent added, "But some people are just jealous of you and are going crazy. Some people even criticized you for buying sweet potatoes."
Wei Ran blinked when she heard that and looked at Ji Yangyun through the mirror.
After being exposed online four years ago, Wei Ran has never opened any social software or read any comments about herself, except for cooperating with the official publicity.
He doesn't watch it because he doesn't have the courage to bear it, and he still cares about being criticized.
Wei Ran in modern clothes does not have the ethereal air of Wei Yushu in "Night Walk", but his appearance is not affected by his hairstyle at all. At first glance, he still looks like the immortal eldest brother in the TV series.
But Ji Yangyun didn't miss the hint of fear and worry in Wei Ran's expression. He tried to slow down his tone and said, "It's nothing. One group of people said you went to buy sweet potatoes and disobeyed the production team's instructions. Another group said the people lining up to buy sweet potatoes at the sweet potato stall were all paid water soldiers. ... And another group was even more ridiculous, saying you took money from the sweet potato stall owner."
Wei Ran: “…”
"Anyway, there are people lining up at the sweet potato stall to buy the same sweet potatoes as yours. People who don't get you won't understand, and it's normal for some people to be jealous and crazy. This is the entertainment industry."
Ji Yangyun glanced at the data on his phone again and said, "And your popularity is almost overshadowing Zhu Tao. After all, he's the male lead in Night Will Walk, and his popularity was much higher than yours before. Now that he's been overtaken, he must be feeling bad. In the entertainment industry, it's normal to buy data for yourself and black material for your opponents."
Although he said this, the smile on Ji Yangyun's face was extremely ironic.
In contrast to him, Wei Ran's face was blank.
Wei Ran: “…Oh.”
Knowing the reason why he was scolded again, Wei Ran felt that it didn't sound like a big problem, so he breathed a sigh of relief and simply stopped thinking about it.
Seeing that he hadn't understood his main point at all, Ji Yangyun couldn't help but remind him more bluntly: "In short, when we're on the live broadcast later, be careful of Zhu Tao. Beware of any traps he might set for you."
Wei Ran: “……?”
Ji Yangyun is a veteran agent after all, and his words almost came true, but the final result was the opposite -
After the live broadcast of the main creators of "Night Will Walk" ended, the topic #朱涛蔚然不合# directly became a hot search.
What's going on with this trending search? I'm totally obsessed with the "brothers" couple in the drama, and you're telling me Puyang Xingyuan and Wei Yushu aren't getting along privately?!
[Don't talk nonsense, Xingyuan and Yushu have a good relationship. Don't make the actors' affairs more complicated than their roles.]
[I should have known not to watch the live broadcast earlier. Fans of the drama were already very satisfied, but I am asking for trouble by watching the linkage outside of the drama! ]
[What's the disagreement? Isn't it obvious that Zhu Tao is unilaterally bullying Wei Ran?]
[+1, this livestream made me sick, hug the cute Wei Ran!]
Not far away below the topic about Zhu Tao and Wei Ran’s disagreement, the entry #Puyang Xingyuan said Wei Yushu was stupid# was also eye-catching.
The two topics are actually related, and they are all about the live broadcast that just ended.
What happened? I watched it when it first aired and it seemed pretty normal and harmonious. How did it suddenly become a hot topic?
When the show first aired, everything was pretty normal, as Wei Ran was always content to be a supporting character and didn't say much.
I've discovered that Ranran is truly low-key and doesn't steal the spotlight. Some people deliberately keep quiet, hoping the other guests will pay more attention to them. But Ranran is truly too honest. He maximizes the emotional value of every guest, yet never shows off himself!
[Yeah, that makes that person seem a bit exaggerated.]
The cause of the incident is this -
At the beginning of the live broadcast, several main creative staff members interacted humorously under the leadership of the host, and the atmosphere in the live broadcast room was harmonious.
But in the middle of the live broadcast, the host noticed that Wei Ran was always the one who spoke the least, so he pulled Wei Ran aside and asked him two questions, and then Zhu Tao, who was very excited, interrupted Wei Ran twice.
At this time, the audience already had some opinions.
Zhu Tao and the third male lead were sitting together offline to broadcast the live together. The two of them interacted a lot in front of the camera, sometimes putting their arms around each other's shoulders, and sometimes serving each other coffee or water. They were very eye-catching in the simultaneous microphone footage.
Moreover, the young actor who plays the third male lead is very good at supporting the main role. Zhu Tao's performance has always been eye-catching and positive, and he is the C position in this live broadcast room.
But because he is the male lead, this mode feels natural, especially since Wu Danxuan, who plays the female lead, is extroverted and good at grabbing topics. The two of them talk back and forth, and at first the audience only feels that this live broadcast room is harmonious and lively.
But the live broadcast lasted for more than 40 minutes, and it was rare for there to be questions specifically directed at the quiet Wei Ran. At this time, Zhu Tao still stole the spotlight, which was not a good feeling for the audience.
However, at that time, because Wei Ran did not have a temper, he was able to listen carefully to other people's speeches and respond even after being interrupted. In the most unobtrusive way, he shifted the audience's focus back to Zhu Tao, making the live broadcast atmosphere still harmonious, and the questioning barrage was quickly drowned out by the barrage of other discussions.
When it came to the later game sessions, even more problems were exposed - Zhu Tao interrupted Wei Ran several times, which had the effect of almost silencing Wei Ran.
[The more I watch, the angrier I get. He always interrupts Wei Ran! Even someone as good-tempered as Wei Ran is stunned. Oh my god...]
[You're talking about the 73rd minute, right? This is so awkward. Before Wei Ran could react, Zhu Tao said he wouldn't let the next one go, then forcibly jumped over her. Who the hell is he? That's so disrespectful! Is he even polite?!]
[I really feel sorry for Wei Ran here. Who would understand? His blank expression is so pitiful! ]
[Wow, wow, mommy can’t stand baby A-ran being bullied…]
Passersby were so angry that their blood pressure soared. Wu Danxuan couldn't stand it anymore and told Zhu Tao to let Wei Ran finish what she was saying. What was Zhu Tao's attitude then?!
Damn it, damn it! He said with a playful smile that Ran was just slow and clumsy, and he acted like he and Ran were buddies. This tea essence, I want to throw up.
[Bah! He's the one who's slow to react, he's the one who's stupid!]
[…Two or three years ago, I quite liked Zhu. What’s wrong with him now? Has he gotten so cocky after playing the male lead?]
[He's so greasy. He's probably two or three years younger than Wei Ran, how can he be so greasy at such a young age?]
[I'm so pissed! Did Zhu drink fake alcohol before going on air? Why is he partying all by himself?!]
Zhu Tao did set up a trap for Wei Ran during the live broadcast, but unfortunately Wei Ran didn't accept any of it.
At the beginning of the live broadcast, Zhu Tao mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that when they were filming "Night Walk" together two years ago, Wei Ran was always worried about his son. He would video chat with his son during breaks and even brought the child to the crew twice.
Wei Yushu is spotless in the drama, and his fans probably can't stand the fact that he has a child.
Zhu Tao deliberately mentioned Wei Ran's child.
But I don’t know if it’s because Wei Ran has a very good temper or is really stupid, but even though Zhu Tao mentioned the things about the filming in a subtle way, Wei Ran acted as if he didn’t hear anything and was still laughing foolishly in front of the camera.
...In the first half of the live broadcast, even if Wei Ran retorted or tried to explain something about his child, Zhu Tao would always have something to say next.
Unfortunately not.
Wei Ran put on his signature expression of humility and politeness, listened to their "casual chats", and laughed along, but didn't say much.
…
Zhu Tao hates him the most when he does this.
Why is there such a thing as pretending to be young when a person who is three years older than you and whose children are old enough to help with housework just has a whiter face and a more delicate appearance?
And he's the second male lead, is he really planning to surpass me in popularity?!
...After forty minutes of live broadcast, Zhu Tao gradually became a little impatient. He thought of Wei Ran, who was either holding the script or talking to his son all day during filming, and felt that this guy might really be a fool.
It's hard for a normal person to respect a fool, especially one who they particularly dislike.
Zhu Tao couldn't help wanting to stop Wei Ran from speaking. He felt annoyed when he heard that lukewarm voice.
Of course, he still remembered to start the live broadcast. He stopped Wei Ran in a joking tone, trying his best to show that he was very familiar with Wei Ran and that the other party would not care.
Anyway, Wei Ran’s crappy character won’t make him come out and say that they are not that familiar with each other; anyway, many fans are shipping them as a couple.
Amidst the barrage of praise in his live broadcast room, such as "Taotao is humorous" and "really fun to watch", Zhu Tao thought that this might make everyone think that they really have a good relationship. This would not only indirectly hype up the couple, but also create a long-tail effect for the drama.
But he didn't expect that netizens' eyes are so vicious now. Apart from the fans in his live broadcast room, there are more people scolding him outside than he imagined.
After the live broadcast ended, Zhu Tao felt the crisis for the first time when he saw the overwhelming criticism on the hot searches.
Zhu Tao's agent called, and fearing a reprimand, he immediately complained about the incomprehensible online community. He wondered how this livestream could have been so popular without him. The crew had to pay him.
The agent on the other side was speechless for a moment before roaring angrily, "This is a live broadcast, not a recording! What are you arguing with Wei Ran about? You don't think he's stupid, do you?"
"……What's the meaning?"
"Did you watch the replay? What got you scolded was mainly Wei Ran's expression at the 1 hour and 13 minutes mark!"
"What's that expression?" Zhu Tao quickly clicked on the replay of the live broadcast, ignoring the flattery in his own live broadcast room. This time, he focused on Wei Ran's expression, muttering, "What kind of expression can he have? He was just faking a smile the whole time..."
Agent: "He was smiling the whole time, listening to you with good humor, and his facial expressions were well-controlled. So when you interrupted him again, his sudden blank expression really got to the point where the audience couldn't stand it!"
"Is it just an expression that matters..." Zhu Tao couldn't believe it and was still very unconvinced.
By the time he got to the 73-minute mark, they had already done several rounds of Truth or Dare.
In the previous rounds, every time it was Wei Ran's turn to pick someone, he would hesitate for two seconds. Zhu Tao saw his fans complaining about his slow reaction in the barrage, so this time he directly half-jokingly said that Wei Ran was too slow and it would be the next one.
He was genuinely joking in his tone. And true to Wei Ran's usual temper, he would just wink and then clapped his hands in agreement, indicating that it was okay to go next.
But this time, Wei Ran's expression was stunned for a second.
...maybe less than a second.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Ran's beautiful eyes, which were praised to the sky by passers-by and fans, shook, like rippling spring water, and suddenly became five points more innocent and five points more embarrassed, and she was confused and at a loss.
This scene is indeed very gripping.
But what was even more touching was that in a flash, Wei Ran blinked again, like a wounded cat that had shrunk into an invisible corner. After adjusting her mood alone, she poked her head out again and smiled gently again.
…
All of a sudden, he looked as aggrieved as he could be, yet he had to remain decent and forbearing.
...Indeed, his performance of less than two seconds was extremely touching.
Even Zhu Tao felt an extremely distressing helplessness and grievance from Wei Ran's slightly raised eyebrows and subsequent lowered eyes and faint smile.
This also made Zhu Tao's face look a little bad.
And in these two seconds, the barrage of comments was indeed overwhelming, all expressing sympathy for Wei Ran and cursing himself.
…
Zhu Tao's hands began to tremble as he held the phone.
“…Fuck, he did it on purpose!”
The agent couldn't tell if it was intentional. After all, if it was, then Wei Ran was incredibly scheming and patient, having endured for over an hour and then completely turning the tables in two seconds.
But one thing is beyond doubt.
Zhu Tao's agent angrily reminded him, "I've heard he understands the language of the camera! You called him stupid, but at least when it comes to acting, he's incredibly perceptive! He's even better than you! Whether it was two years ago or now, don't let your complacency get the better of you!"
.
Wei Ran was broadcasting live in the nanny car. After the live broadcast, she went downstairs to film and was busy until late at night before returning home.
This time, Dudu was still waiting for him wearing the little dinosaur pajamas, but perhaps because he was tired, Dudu did not wake up. Wei Ran was angry and distressed and stripped off the baby's little dinosaur pajamas. Fearing that the baby would wake up, she did not put any other clothes on him and just stuffed him into the warm little quilt.
Regarding the little dinosaur pajamas, Wei Ran had also planned to throw it away or give it away. This is the most direct and effective way to prevent Dudu from wearing it to sleep.
But Wei Ran had a difficult childhood. He knew the feeling of having his favorite toys thrown away by adults.
He was always afraid that Dudu would be unhappy.
...Wei Ran always feels endlessly helpless when it comes to raising Dudu.
In fact, the year she gave birth to Dudu, Wei Ran had really given up on being an actor.
What dreams, what passion, that road is ultimately too steep and full of thorns. When Wei Ran was young and brave, he didn't understand the path clearly. He didn't believe he could succeed while taking care of the cubs.
If Dudu hadn't been encouraging him all the time and insisting that he continue chasing and filming, he would probably not be here anymore.
But even though she has made such great progress in her career, Wei Ran is still not optimistic and still feels very sorry for Dudu.
Late at night, Wei Ran made an expression that he rarely showed in public - he puffed out his cheeks, then sat down dejectedly on the floor beside Dudu's bed and simply didn't move.
After another busy day, he was truly exhausted. He didn't even have the energy to move. The guilt and worry he felt for his baby were the final straw that broke the camel's back.
Wei Ran leaned against the edge of Dudu's bed, silently watching the cub stretching out his little body on the bed, occasionally frowning and smacking his lips, but overall sleeping soundly.
"Well, Dad...you can't bully my dad!"
When Wei Ran was about to fall asleep, Dudu had no idea what he was dreaming about, and his little baby was shaking with anger. After Wei Ran was awakened, he had to pat the baby and coax him to continue sleeping.
Wei Ran didn't turn on the light in Dudu's bedroom.
In the light of the night light in the corridor, he stared at his cub for a long time.
After making sure that Dudu was soundly asleep, he stretched out a finger and gently poked the baby's doughy cheek.
Wei Ran said softly, "Daddy won't allow anyone to hurt the baby."
——Even if you mention Dubao in passing just to take advantage of the situation, it’s not allowed.
The moonlight outside the window was cool and warm. Wei Ran's shadow fell heavily and steadily on the ball-like cub, looming like the shadow of a mountain.
