Chapter 100 Wake Him Up
Fang Xin had been filming for several days in a row and was so busy that she had no time to rest.
Chen Xian said that several variety shows had invited him to participate, but Fang Xin had rejected them all.
"Why don't you take part in variety shows? You don't have any other schedules now except filming." Chen Xian was puzzled. If you want to be a top star, you have to be active in front of the public all the time.
Fang Xin said, "I am an actor, and my position is an actor. I don't want to go out and market any persona. Even if I have one, it is defined by the public. It's okay to occasionally shoot some endorsements, but if I am always active in variety shows, people will only remember me in variety shows."
"Besides, when I first became popular, I participated in a few movies to make myself known, but I found that it was really not suitable for me. Sometimes I didn't even know what to do. Since I'm not good at it, I might as well not do it."
Chen Xian thought it made sense and did not force him to continue participating in variety shows or other activities.
In fact, Fang Xin had refused a long time ago. Chen Xian always thought that he didn't have any variety shows he liked, so he delayed participating. After a long time, he realized that he really thought so.
He smiled gratified and exhaled, "You have really grown a lot and have more ideas. The donations you brought in before helped a lot of people and also earned you a good reputation."
Fang Xin smiled with relief, "It's OK as long as I can help people."
Fang Xin hadn't seen Xu Shi'an for a long time during this time at home, and she thought he had disappeared from the world.
He didn't realize that he was the one who often left home early and came back late. As the end of the year approached, Yuexing was also very busy, and Xu Shian had been working overtime in the company.
The two people's schedules don't match and they often miss each other.
One day, after Gu Qingzhenghui reported on her work situation, Xu Shi'an asked her indirectly about the situation of her artists.
Gu Qing rolled his eyes, as if thinking of something, "Lu Ziyan was in a bad mood for a few days some time ago, but he got better later. I heard from his assistant that he fell in love with someone..."
Before Gu Qing finished speaking, Xu Shi'an interrupted him and asked, "Are you feeling better again?"
"...That's right. I was very sad at first, but now I feel better. I seem to be more cheerful now."
This sentence made the man restless all night, and he didn't go home until late at night.
The office was filled with a faint smell of tobacco. He took a cigarette, narrowed his eyes slightly, and felt the dizziness brought by the nicotine.
He exhaled a long puff of smoke, then put out the cigarette, stood up, grabbed his coat and walked out.
He needed to think about it again. He was paying more and more attention to Fang Xin. He felt inexplicably uneasy. Lu Ziyan was in a better mood, and it only took a few days.
Is this what he thought?
When he got home in the elevator, a man came up to him. He shrank slightly when he saw him, then straightened his back again, "Mr. Xu."
"Why are you here?"
It sounds very strong, as if asking you why you are in my house.
Lu Ziyan sensed an inexplicable hostility and raised his eyebrows, "I'm here to find Xinxin."
Xu Shiyu narrowed his eyes, twirled his fingertips unconsciously, and raised his chin, "It seems that you are very idle."
Having a bad feeling, Lu Ziyan was caught off guard before he could finish his words. "Fortunately, you are going on a business trip until the end of the year."
"!"
It was like a bolt from the blue! Lu Ziyan's expression changed many times, but he couldn't think of what expression to use to face Xu Shi'an. He gritted his teeth.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Xu, for arranging a job for me."
After saying this, he turned around and walked into the elevator without even looking at Xu Shi'an.
Before the door was about to close, Lu Ziyan smiled with an ambiguous tone and said something that made Xu Shi'an unable to sleep all night.
"You care so much about Xinxin, you might like him, right?"
It was a night of deep silence.
I don't know how long the sound of running water lasted, and the people inside were washed over and over again.
After finishing, she looked at herself in the mirror, smoothed her wet hair with both hands, and put them down with trembling hands.
Suddenly he said, "How could I like him..."
If I put together what I did to Fang Xin before, then all the things that didn't make sense before seemed to make sense.
Xu Shi'an clenched his fists, breathing a little faster, "Impossible!"
I don't know who I was talking to. The bed didn't feel like a bed. I was physically exhausted, but I couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
Some were happy and some were sad. Xu Shiyan was sad all night, while Fang Xin was happy all night.
Finally, Director Wan stopped saying that he was no good. Today, Director Wan gave him a big thumbs up.
It felt good to be recognized by others. He slept soundly and met Xu Shi'an when he went out the next day.
He happily went forward to say hello, but the other party seemed to be avoiding him and even took two steps back when he saw him.
Fang Xin had a puzzled look on his face.
"elder brother?"
A call brought people back to their senses. Xu Shi'an just hummed in a cold manner and didn't say anything more until they parted.
Fang Xin was extremely curious. Usually Xu Shi'an talked more than today. Could it be that he was hit by something?
Thinking of the two steps he took back, Fang Xin curled her lips, "Why are you stepping back? I'm not a plague."
When Director Wan saw him, he asked him to hurry up and put on his makeup, saying that he had to finish early today because his wife was waiting for him to go home and celebrate her birthday.
Fang Xin secretly laughed with the others, "I thought Director Wan is such a serious person, he treats everyone the same!"
Xiao Huai quietly stepped forward and told Fang Xin, "Director Wan is a well-known wife slave. He appears to be serious and aloof outside and keeps strangers away, but he actually works like a slave to his wife at home!"
"Ah? How do you know?"
The little thief laughed twice, "There is nothing I don't know about the Internet."
This matter was quickly interrupted by the words "Everyone take your positions" and Fang Xin finished her makeup and prepared to start shooting.
Director Wan specifically reminded him to shoot well and strive to pass it every time.
"Start!"
Outside the city, smoke filled the air and people inside the city dispersed, leaving only a few people behind.
There were still songs being sung in the teahouse, but there were very few customers. This time, Sister Hua went on stage herself to sing for the guests.
"Why isn't Yuanyuan here today?"
A customer was asking about the prostitutes who had long been moved out of the city, and Wen Zhishu happened to pass by and heard it.
"The enemy will be here soon, so the girls naturally went out to seek shelter."
The guest paused for a moment, then stood up and bowed, "Thank you for telling me, may I ask where you went?"
Wen Zhishu was about to speak when the opera on the stage stopped, and he was interrupted by Hua Niang before he could finish his words.
"Sir, I just released the girls, but I don't know where they went. You come here so often, so I can't hide it from you."
Wen Zhishu immediately understood what Hua Niang said, and his heart beat faster.
Hua Niang signaled to him that it was nothing and was about to send the guest away.
"I like Yuanyuan, otherwise I would have left the city long ago."
It sounds like a lover, but Hua Niang is unmoved, "But I really don't know, why don't you ask someone else?"
Wen Zhishu frowned, as if he knew something, "This guest, please come in."
The meaning is obvious: to drive away guests.
The customer was neither impatient nor anxious, so he had no choice but to leave. As soon as he left, Hua Niang dragged him to the backstage.
"Sister Hua, don't be anxious!"
"How can I not be anxious? What if the girls are exposed and something goes wrong?!"
Wen Zhishu paused, and pushed Sister Hua to sit down, "How did you know that person was wrong just now?"
Hua Niang took off her hairpin, with a look of worry between her brows. "I have never met him, but he knows Yuanyuan."
Wen Zhishu was shocked. "What? You haven't seen him? Then you..."
Many things don't need to be explained. Wen Zhishu suddenly understood Hua Niang, "Then what will we do next..."
"Don't worry. The enemy will soon break into the city, but it hasn't been broken yet. What if we win?"
Wen Zhishu knew very well that the probability of this happening was very small. When the army fell, countless people died and many people fled. It was almost impossible to turn the tide.
The guest who just came was most likely a spy who sneaked in and wanted to catch the escaped person to threaten him.
They don't want to let anyone in this city go. This is the most terrifying thought that Wen Zhishu can think of right now.
He panicked for a moment, "Sister Hua, let's run away, the farther the better! We can always rebuild the teahouse if it's gone!"
"The soldiers have been defeated. How can we defend the teahouse? Run away. I beg you to do it!"
Hua Niang was calm and composed, "Knowing that my country is destroyed and my family is ruined, there is no place for me to stay in the mountains and rivers. It is better to be a man of steel, so that I can have the courage to survive in this world."
After this scene is over, everyone's heart is hard to calm down. If you can't feel the pain of war, then feel the pain of losing a loved one.
The pain is unbearable and it hurts my heart and bones.
Today's filming ended at noon. It was the first time Fang Xin got off work so early. She was so happy that she made an appointment with someone who was free to go out for dinner.
Fortunately, Lu Ziyan had not yet gone out on a business trip, so Mo Chai also went out with him to keep the appointment.
Today we booked a relatively quiet restaurant, which wasn't crowded and served light food, making it suitable for a date.
Lu Ziyan said that they would be late, and Mo Chai was supposed to come with Lu Ziyan, but someone rushed over to accompany Fang Xin.
The two people happened to meet at the door, greeted each other and went in.
As soon as he entered, Fang Xin walked with his head down, and saw a pair of leather shoes standing in front of him.
"Mr. Xu!"
The first person to speak was Mo Chai. After all, he had eaten at Xu's house and it was impossible for him to forget.
Fang Xin glanced at Xu Shi'an. The mask hid his expression and emotions. What made him unbelievable was that there was a lady standing next to Xu Shi'an.
The other person was dignified and gentle, standing quietly on the side with a hug in his hand.
She doesn't look like a businesswoman out to discuss business, but more like...a lady from a wealthy family.
Xu Shi'an saw the person almost instantly. He and Mo Chai walked in shoulder to shoulder. Even though he couldn't see the expression under the mask, he could feel that Fang Xin was smiling.
At that moment, something seemed to freeze him in place. Fang Xin found that he didn't say much, but just glanced at the people around him.
Subconsciously, Xu Shi'an blocked the girl. Fang Xin narrowed her eyes, nodded meaningfully, and signaled with her eyes that Mo Chai could leave.
He didn't dare to speak freely in the presence of other people for fear of being recognized.
Xu Shi'an's action of blocking people was undoubtedly to cover up something. Fang Xin did not intend to disturb him. He nodded and left with Mo Chai.
I don't know how long I stood there, the girl next to me whispered, "Mr. Xu, are we... not leaving?"
He heard it, but didn't want to reply. He saw that Fang Xin felt guilty for some reason and was afraid that he would see the person next to him.
Aren't we going to shoot a movie today? Why are you out alone with Mo Chai again?
His thoughts jumped very quickly, and he had already figured out what Fang Xin was doing, completely ignoring the people beside him.
