The days of being the sponsor of the idol boy band leader (13)
It turns out... Jiang Ye is a fan of Chen Dian.
I don’t know why, but when I thought of this, Shen Ci felt a lump in his heart.
It feels like there is a ball of cotton stuck in your heart. Although it doesn’t hurt or itch, it makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Especially Jiang Ye values Chen Dian's signature so much.
He folded the signature carefully and put it in his pocket, as if he regarded Dean Chen's signature as a treasure.
After Jiang Ye and Chen Dian talked for a while, he mustered up the courage to say to Shen Ci, "Shen Ci, you just performed really well."
God knows how much courage Jiang Ye must have put into saying such a simple sentence.
He had been backstage for several minutes, and this was the first time he spoke to Shen Ci.
The reason for this is because of the text message he sent to Shen Ci before -
No, you won't be a burden to anyone.
Because you are the light.
Where you are, there is only bright light.
Ah, what a non-mainstream statement. He was really too impulsive at the time, so he sent such a pretentious and sarcastic remark to Shen Ci. After seeing it, Shen Ci might laugh at him in his heart.
To the extent that he felt embarrassed to face Shen Ci when he came to see me.
Jiang Yesi had no idea that Shen Ci hadn't even had time to check his phone, let alone see the text message he sent.
Shen Ci responded to Jiang Ye's praise with a cold "hmm".
It was as if Jiang Ye's approval didn't matter to him.
Jiang Ye touched his nose, knowing that he was not being appreciated, and turned around to chat and laugh with Bai Yang and the others.
Shen Ci turned around and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
The moment he turned around, Shen Ci could no longer pretend. His brown pupils seemed to be filled with frost, so cold that it was frightening.
After leaving the studio, Chen Dian and a few others said they wanted to have dinner together, and Jiang Ye readily agreed.
But Shen Ci said that he had something to do and had to go back first.
"What do you want?" Jiang Ye couldn't help but ask.
He thought Shen Ci would go, so he readily agreed.
I didn't expect Shen Ci would refuse.
After all, Shen Ci had nothing to do! Shen Ci had no friends and no love, so it was reasonable for him to go out for dinner with them. After all, this was also the first time Four U performed together.
Celebrating afterwards is basic social etiquette.
Shen Ci said perfunctorily, "I'm not feeling well."
Anyone could see the reluctance in Shen Ci's eyes.
Jiang Ye didn't say anything.
He was a little disappointed.
He hoped more than anyone else that Shen Ci, Chen Dian and the other two could get along well.
Chen Dean came out to smooth things over, "Since Shen Ci is not feeling well, why don't we make an appointment another day?"
"No need, you four go eat."
Shen Ci left these words and hailed a taxi on the street.
He got into the carriage, just like the day he first met Jiang Ye, got in the taxi and drove away without looking back.
Bai Yang scratched his head and asked Chen Dean in confusion, "Brother Chen, what are we doing now...?"
Chen Dian looked at Jiang Ye again, "What do you think? Should we go eat together, or wait until next time when Shen Ci is here too?"
Jiang Ye's eyes were still looking in the direction where Shen Ci left.
He came back to his senses, and the loss in his eyes returned to clarity.
"Then let's wait until next time. Shen Ci is also a member of Four U. It would be bad to leave him out."
After hearing Jiang Ye's answer, Chen Dian lowered his eyes, seeming to want to say something but stopped.
He wanted to say that Jiang Ye was so nice to Shen Ci.
So good that it makes people jealous.
…
Shen Ci didn't expect that he would receive a call after returning to the villa.
At first he thought it was a wrong number, until he heard a strange yet familiar voice from inside.
"Aci..."
Shen Ci was stunned.
The hand holding the phone tensed almost instantly.
The person on the other end of the phone was Su Min, who had not been in contact with Shen Ci for six years.
Shen Ci's voice suddenly became deep and vague, "Mom?"
Su Min smiled, but there was something indescribably bitter about her smile. "I saw Aci on the show today."
“It’s like a dream.”
Shen Ci really wanted to reply to Su Min that it was like a dream to him to receive her call.
"Aci, you are so dazzling on the stage, just like me back then."
Su Min was talking to herself on the other end of the phone, her voice was very gentle.
Five minutes later, Shen Ci suddenly interrupted Su Min, his voice filled with sadness and undisguised loss and blame.
"Mom, why didn't you contact me in the past six years?"
Not a single phone call, not a single concern. The woman who should have loved him the most in the world disappeared without a trace, as if she had completely abandoned her son.
"…Mom didn't mean it."
Shen Ci's voice was a little cold. "Why is that? Give me a reason."
Why do you ignore your own son?
He tried so hard, what did he do wrong.
Has she ever thought that she is his only relative and his only concern in this world?
During these six years, he seemed to be stuck in a quagmire. Every day he was in a daze and had no idea where to go.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time.
Until the sound of Su Min sobbing could be heard.
"Because I don't dare to face you... How can I face you, Aci, I did that, I..."
In order for Shen Ci to make his debut, she slept with Zhang Wentao.
Zhang Wentao later told her that he secretly recorded the video and showed it to Shen Ci.
She is not afraid of what anyone says about him.
But she was afraid that her only son would look down on him.
"Ah Ci... I am not qualified to be your mother. You can uphold your dignity, but I cannot... I am not qualified to face you."
Shen Ci's voice was hoarse. "Do you think your children will look down on you?"
"I was the one who sent you to the entertainment company. If I hadn't sent you there, you wouldn't have experienced those dirty things... I have been working and saving money for the past six years. I want to wait until I have saved enough money to redeem you from the entertainment company before I come back to find you."
"Ah Ci, I regret it very much. The entertainment industry is a hell of a pit, but I pushed you into it for my own dream. I was too selfish. I regret it, and I have lost the courage to face you."
…
After hanging up the phone, Shen Ci buried his face in his hands.
During those six years, he always thought his mother had abandoned him.
He knew how much Su Min wanted him to make his debut, but he did not agree to Zhang Wentao's request. He spent eight years in the entertainment company without getting the chance to debut.
For a while, he always felt that Su Min must be extremely disappointed in him.
He would definitely not be willing to acknowledge him as his son anymore.
He thought he had become a disgrace to Su Min.
For this reason, he even doubted himself, wondering if his persistence was too ridiculous.
It was not until a phone call tonight that he realized that the six years of no contact was Su Min's self-blame and guilt towards herself.
On the phone, Su Min said to him, Mom loves you.
——Aci is great today. Aci is my mother’s pride.
He had been waiting for these words for many years.
The cold liquid flowed out from between Shen Ci's fingers, and Shen Ci made a tiny choking sound like an animal.
"Shen Ci, you really cried this time..."
Shen Ci didn't expect Jiang Ye to come back suddenly.
Jiang Ye stood in front of Shen Ci. There was only a wall lamp on in the living room. The light was dim, but the liquid on the back of Shen Ci's hand was clearly visible. His body was still shaking slightly just now.
Shen Ci was stunned, and his tears stopped in an instant.
He hadn't cried for many, many years. He hadn't shed a single tear in the past six or eight years. But tonight, when he couldn't control his emotions, Jiang Ye saw him.
How embarrassing.
Shen Ci slowly raised his head, his eyes slightly moist, but without any trace of tears. He said calmly, "Young Master Jiang, you are wrong."
Jiang Ye asked in confusion, "Really?"
He is not blind.
Shen Ci is a stubborn guy.
"Why are you crying?" Jiang Ye looked at Shen Ci, whose expression was cold but could not hide his stunning looks, "Tell me."
Shen Ci frowned, unwilling to admit, "I didn't cry."
Jiang Ye laughed out loud, "It's shameful to cry, but it's shameful to be stubborn?"
"Shen Ci, if you keep telling lies, be careful of me... be careful of me beating you up. I told you I came back just to beat you up. Just now everyone said they wanted to go out and play, but you were the only one who didn't give them face. You seem to be quite proud of yourself, huh? What are you doing?"
Jiang Ye got angry when he talked about this.
It was such a perfect night for a party, but Shen Ci refused to cooperate at all.
As a result, everyone had to leave in a bad mood, which really hit the team's cohesion.
Jiang Ye stared at Shen Ci with his eyes wide open, as if he was really angry.
Shen Ci turned his head away, unwilling to meet Jiang Ye's gaze, "Didn't you guys go out to play by yourselves?"
Jiang Ye came back after several hours, and of course he went to a party with Chen Dian and the others.
"Who said I went out to play? What are we going to do now that you're gone?"
Shen Ci blinked his eyelashes, a little surprised, and looked at Jiang Ye suddenly, "Then why did you come back so late?"
"I'm going back to my mom. Do you think I'll be around you all the time?"
Jiang Ye crossed his arms and looked down at Shen Ci who was sitting on the sofa. "Didn't I ask Chen Dean for an autograph? I wanted to take the autograph back to please her."
Shen Ci was stunned.
I blurt out, "That signature is for your mother?"
Jiang Ye rolled his eyes and said, "What else? Do you think that the signature is the one I..." asked for?
"etc……"
Jiang Ye seemed to have realized something, and a teasing smile appeared on his face. He looked at Shen Ci with amusement, "Are you jealous?"
I thought I had asked Dean Chen for that signature.
So he's jealous?
Otherwise, why would Shen Ci look so cold and indifferent, no matter whether it was good or bad.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ye suddenly became happy, "Shen Ci you..."
"What about me?" Shen Ci's heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of his throat. He tried hard to remain calm and keep a straight face.
"Not wanting to go to the party or dinner means you're jealous? Isn't your brainpower too much, Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Ye: ???
Is it because he has too much brain power?
"Then why are you so upset?"
Jiang Ye said firmly: "Shen Ci, don't deceive yourself. You can't deceive me. I have been in so many relationships, I have rich emotional experience."
"You're just jealous."
"Not only were you jealous, you went home alone and cried on the sofa."
"Shen Ci, how much do you like me? This is the first time I've seen someone get jealous and I cried. You're a grown man, why would you do that?"
Little Daisy: ...
Host, are you really overthinking this time?
Who would run home and cry secretly because of jealousy of you?
After Jiang Ye said these words, he found that Shen Ci's face looked even uglier.
He hesitated and asked, "Why, are you feeling guilty?"
Shen Ci didn't say anything, but he remembered what Jiang Ye had just said, "I've been in so many relationships, I have a lot of emotional experience."
These words coming out of Jiang Ye's own mouth were even more hurtful than what he had thought before, that Jiang Ye was a fan of Chen Dian.
Shen Ci suddenly stood up from the sofa.
