Chapter 73: Muster up the courage to explain
Grandma's words suddenly enlightened Fang Xin. He knew this was a BL novel when he traveled through time and space to read the script. But currently he was just acting as a homosexual, but he always thought he should be straight. It was really strange that someone had a crush on him in real life.
Thinking of the plot in "Cold Winter", Fang Xin's eyes flickered, and he scratched his head belatedly, thinking that he seemed to be a little too pedantic.
The next morning, without waiting for Li Ang to knock on the door, he left the room by himself. Lu Ziyan came out from the next room at the same time, and the two met each other.
Li Ang saw Fang Xin once again displaying her clingy skills. Even though he wanted to put makeup on Fang Xin quickly, he did not just perfunctorily deal with the makeup of the other two leading actors.
Since he is a village kid, I only worry about his appearance, but makeup is not that difficult.
It was Fang Xin's turn. He glanced up at Li Ang who was close to him in the mirror and smiled faintly, "Thank you for your hard work again."
Li Ang paused for a moment, then approached Fang Xin hesitantly, "Did you feel unwell last night? Why didn't you come down to eat?"
While talking, he did not forget to take care of Fang Xin. He moved very carefully, fearing that he would pull the hair of his beloved.
The other party did not reply immediately. It was not until Lu Ziyan and Xu Xu went out to prepare for filming that Fang Xin put down her phone and looked at Li Ang seriously.
His expression was gentle, and he said, "Leon, I appreciate your love for me, but I'm sorry."
Leon was stunned for a moment, and his hands stopped moving. He knew the result, perhaps because he was a man.
After getting myself together, I asked, "Is it because I'm a man?"
Fang Xin shook her head. "No, I don't care what gender you are. It's just that I don't plan to fall in love right now. Besides, I only consider you as a colleague."
Leon looked very disappointed. He was an extrovert and was used to showing his joy on his face. Now that he was rejected by the person he liked, the disappointment was written all over his face.
"Will we be friends in the future?" He lowered his requirements to the lowest level. No matter what Fang Xin thought, he wanted to take a step further with Fang Xin. Who knows, maybe one day the opportunity will come to him.
"Yes, I'd love to be friends with you!" Fang Xin looked much better than yesterday. When they first met, he was like a mouse meeting a cat, but now he was much more natural.
Seeing this, Li Ang suddenly cleared up his gloom and made a secret decision.
After putting on makeup and Lu Ziyan and their scenes were finished, Fang Xin was ready to shoot a new plot.
Li Ang looked at Fang Xin, who was wearing coarse cloth, from a distance. The infatuation in his eyes subsided a little, but he still clung to her closely.
Lu Ziyan noticed it, and when he turned his head to look, the burning gaze was no different from his usual one, which made him feel a sense of crisis.
He was very sure that he liked Fang Xin, but he was always timid and didn't dare to take action.
As for Li Ang, he started to show his courtesy to Fang Xin right after he arrived. He also had Xu Xu by his side, pestering him to do this and that every day.
He said that he came here to have some time alone with Fang Xin, but who knew Xu Xu was so annoying!
Just as I was thinking about it, someone else's voice rang in my ears, "Drink something to warm you up."
A cup of health tea was handed to him. Lu Ziyan glanced at Xu Xu, took it with his hand, and said vaguely, "Thank you."
Xu Xu looked at the side of Lu Ziyan's cheek and smiled, "You're welcome."
Fang Xin was ready, and as soon as Lin Qinghua started talking, he got into the role.
The paulownia flowers are everywhere in the mountains and you can smell their unique fragrance every two steps you take. The petals cannot withstand wind and rain, and will slowly fall after a little setback.
Xu Shan followed his grandfather on the path home. He looked around curiously, and from time to time caught the petals that happened to fall, holding them cherished in his hands and stuffing them into a small cloth bag.
Grandpa was walking slowly behind. His grandson looked carefree from behind. The old man couldn't hide the smile on his face, and the love in his eyes seemed about to overflow.
"Slow down, the rotten petals are slippery."
Xu Shan looked back and shouted, "I'm not afraid, Grandpa, come on!"
He was jumping around like a child, and just in front of him were his peers who were just coming home from school.
At this moment, Xu Shan seemed to have pressed the pause button. He slowed down his pace and waited for his grandfather to approach.
When his peers saw the old man following Xu Shan, they didn't dare to step forward and mock him. After all, Xu Shan was a fool, but his grandfather was not.
After everyone left, Xu Shan's reserved look gradually improved. They whispered behind him and the old man heard it all.
The old man picked up a wooden stick and threw it out.
"What nonsense are you talking about! What are you talking about, you little brats!" The old man's eyes were wide open with anger. Although his movements were not swift, he still had authority when he scolded.
"Do you think I'm dead? We're from the same village, do you believe that an old rogue like me would go to your house and make trouble?"
When Xu Shan heard his grandfather's angry rebuke, he hurried over to support the old man, "Grandpa, Grandpa, don't be angry, don't be angry."
He imitated the way Chaoyang comforted Wang Xi and patted the old man on the back to comfort him.
The teenagers were most afraid of being treated unreasonably by their elders, even though they were the ones who started the gossip first.
The old man seemed to be very upset. "You have read so many books about saints and sages that you have lost everything! Just stop studying! Go back to herd cattle and sheep and farm for your parents as soon as possible!"
Xu Shan was extremely nervous, "Grandpa is sick!"
The group of teenagers didn't dare to reply and quickly fled with their companions.
The old man's eyes turned red with anger. He felt distressed when he saw Xu Shan was so nervous that he stammered and couldn't speak clearly.
"Xiaoshan, Xiaoshan..." The old man burst into tears. His old hands seemed to have nowhere to put. He felt the powerlessness of his body and despair arose spontaneously.
When the couple went out to work, they were forced to take Xu Shan with them no matter what. If the child fell sick at home, there would be no good medical treatment.
If Xu Shan had not burned his brain and not received timely treatment, he would not be unable to go to school until now.
Xu Shan stammered, "Ahhh...ah..."
It's hard to make any sound when you're anxious. He looked at his grandfather shedding tears and thought of the time when Wang Xi cried before. Chaoyang told him that this is called sadness.
He didn't understand, he just knew that he had to be nice to them so that they wouldn't shed tears.
Xu Shan took the petals out of the bag and handed them to the old man. "Ah."
He indicated that all the petals he had picked should be given to Grandpa.
“Crack!”
After Lin Qinghua finished speaking, he walked up to the veteran actor and asked about his well-being. As soon as his part was over, the hunchbacked old man straightened up. Although he was only in his sixties, he could act like an eighty-year-old man.
The emotional drama was so well-understood that Fang Xin was also drawn into the story, as if he could sense the old man's pain, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
The actor's real name is Hu Shu, who has won all kinds of awards. Lin Qinghua hired him at a huge price, but Hu Shu didn't want the money at all. After reading the script, he said he was willing to come and offered to take whatever salary he deserved. He didn't want any more.
Lin Qinghua was happy for several days. He knew who he had invited to help him. With Xu Xu, even if the plot was simple, it would still have enough gimmicks.
Fang Xin wiped his eyes, but before he could collect his emotions, Hu Shu came to talk to him.
"The young man is not bad, but there are still some areas that he didn't handle properly." Hu Shu's eyes were full of integrity as he instructed Fang Xin seriously.
Fang Xin pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the teachings from his seniors. He looked so serious that Lu Ziyan, who was standing next to him, didn't dare to disturb him.
After an unknown amount of time, Fang Xin suddenly realized something and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Hu!"
Hu Shu nodded with satisfaction. After acting with Fang Xin a few times, he also realized it. At first, he had heard a little about a young man who had become popular in the entertainment industry recently.
After looking at the photos, I can see that she is indeed one of the rare androgynous beauties in the entertainment industry. However, seeing the marketing on the internet praising her for her good acting skills and good personality, there are always different opinions.
Now that I've met Fang Xin in person, I've discovered that he's pretty much the same as what people say about him online, except that he looks smart, but actually a bit stupid.
"The future is bright for today's young people."
Hu Shu patted Fang Xin on the shoulder and then went to rest. Seeing this, Lin Qinghua walked over and said, "You are lucky. Those who can be taught by Hu Shu have achieved great success."
Although Lin Qinghua was known to be demanding, he was absolutely first-rate in his work. Fang Xin's eyes sparkled with curiosity, "Who is it?"
Lin Qinghua raised his eyebrows, "My apprentice."
"?"
Xu Xu, who was following Lu Ziyan, did not hide his speechless expression, "Director Lin, someone is calling you."
Lin Qinghua curled his lips and walked away. Lu Ziyan didn't care about the disciple Lin Qinghua was talking about, but only cared about what Fang Xin and Hu Shu said.
Fang Xin briefly summarized the shortcomings that Hu Shu told him about, and Lu Ziyan suddenly realized, "No wonder he is the best actor, he is so strong that he can even find this!"
"Yes, yes, I think it's amazing too!" Fang Xin was also excited.
Leon approached slowly and fixed Fang Xin's hairstyle. "It's time to eat. We have a simple scene later, so keep the hairstyle for now."
Several people returned to grandma's house one after another. The house was filled with delicious food. Because Xu Shi'an said he was a little fat last time, Fang Xin ate half as much during that period.
I always feel hungry at night, but now that I can't see Xu Shi'an, people won't say I'm fat, and I can eat as much as I want.
Lin Qinghua seemed to have noticed something, and said sternly, "Your character can't be too strong."
After climbing a mountain, he found a Buddha. Fang Xin almost restrained his eating and was simply crying without tears.
The afternoon scenes were all about getting into trouble with Wang Xi and Chao Yang, which didn't require too many lines. The scene ended when Fang Xin finished reciting the scenes of getting into trouble together, and the rest were scenes between the main characters.
The plot has just begun to develop, but I always feel like I have lived in the village for a long time.
In the village at night, you can always see starlight that cannot be seen in the city. Fang Xin lay on the railing on the second floor, looking up at the Milky Way. The moonless sky was filled with only stars.
Once the moonlight appears, the stars will suddenly dim, not because they lose their luster, but because their light is covered.
Li Ang followed Fang Xin. He looked at Fang Xin's beautiful profile, his heart pounding but he dared not show it at all.
"The scenery in your country is so magical, every place is different." He seemed to be making conversation.
The other party naturally took over the conversation, "Your country doesn't have the same thing either."
"But it's not so good." The sadness in Leon's words was palpable.
"Everyone has their own beauty."
Li Ang remembered this sentence for a long time, "You are right." Because you are my beauty. Although love at first sight is just lust, true love cannot be ignored.
