Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Dirty Thoughts
That inexplicable emotion surged in his chest again. Yin Yan avoided Yu Xiangwen's gaze, pursed his lips, and waited for his mood to calm down.
After a moment, he ignored the sight behind him and started shooting again.
After adding a few close-ups, the second shot of a scene begins.
Then in the last scene, Lin Wu gave a vicious look, and the man with earrings slapped Lin Wu's glasses, causing them to fly away.
"Why don't you try glaring at me again?"
The soft flesh at the corner of his mouth rubbed against his teeth, and a little blood flowed out. Lin Wu suddenly got up and rushed towards the man with earrings, screaming like crazy.
He only had time to punch back when he pounced on the man with earrings. The people around him who were shocked by his unexpected resistance for a moment quickly reacted, swarmed forward, twisted Lin Wu's arm and pulled him away.
Two fists were no match for four hands, and Lin Wu was pushed back to the ground, his voice hoarse from his roar.
The man with earrings stood up, rubbing his chin. He walked up to Lin Wu step by step and kicked Lin Wu in the stomach without stopping.
"You are asked to answer the question!"
Another kick.
"Is it that difficult!?"
"Hmm? I'm asking you a question! Why don't you answer?!"
After kicking several times, the man with the earrings finally vented his anger. He grabbed Lin Wu's collar, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "Oh, you forgot, our classmate Lin is a girl, she likes to be clean, right? Isn't it just that I soiled your clothes? Why are you so angry? Yelling and yelling doesn't match your sissy temperament at all."
The man with the earrings shook his head and said to the people around him, "Go, get a bucket of water and wash Lin thoroughly."
Amid the laughter, Lin Wu struggled, but the pain in his body made him unable to muster any strength.
Through the figure blocking his way, Lin Wu looked towards the door of the bathroom.
The door was closed at some point, but even if it was open, no one would be willing to help him.
A blue plastic bucket flashed by in the peripheral vision.
A bucket of water was poured over my head, freezing cold.
The temperature dropped today, making the bucket of water colder than Yin Yan had expected when it was poured on his body.
He lowered his head, gasping for breath and shivering.
Drops of water dripped down his hair and hit the floor tiles, and another bucket of water was poured in his face.
There were shrill laughter all around, taps running all the way to the bottom, and buckets filled up one after another...
Yin Yan's arms were twisted behind his back, and he turned his face away uselessly to avoid the cold water that was pouring on his body.
His clothes were getting soaked one by one, and he gradually turned into Lin Wu, the boy who seemed to be drowning in this small bathroom.
At this moment, there was no Yin Yan, only Lin Wu.
"Why aren't you yelling?" The man with the earrings threw the empty bucket in his hand at Lin Wu and said lazily, "It's really boring. Let's go back."
The door of the bathroom opened and closed, and the light that came in was not enough to touch the person kneeling in the shadows. A voice came faintly: "Remember to clean this place up later, sissy."
The faucet was still pouring water into the already full bucket. Lin Wu lay in the water in a mess, his teeth chattering from the cold.
"Card."
The director called for a stop, and the crew breathed a sigh of relief.
Yin Yan panted and slowly came out of the mood of despair.
A thick towel was wrapped around his still shivering body. When he looked up, it was Yu Xiangwen.
Supporting him to stand up with his strong arms, the man used another dry towel to wipe the water off Yin Yan's face.
Yin Yan was a little dazed. He cooperated with Yu Xiangwen's actions without any reaction. He just stared at him blankly with a pair of misty eyes.
Xiao Wu, whose towel was snatched away from him, said: "..."
While he was twisting the lid of the cup, the two of them were hugging each other.
Holding Xiao Wu's hot ginger soup in one hand and Yu Xiangwen's intimate hot pack in the other, Yin Yan was surrounded and led behind the monitor, where he sat on a small stool next to the director to watch the playback.
I didn't feel it when filming, but now watching it from a third-person perspective, Yin Yan feels that this part of bullying is a bit uncomfortable to watch.
The director was multitasking, watching the playbacks from several camera angles at the same time. After watching them all, he nodded and said, "It's OK."
The atmosphere at the scene relaxed.
The first few scenes were shot smoothly in one go and everyone was in a good mood.
Yin Yan looked up at Yu Xiangwen standing behind him, and just as the corners of his mouth were about to rise, the director beside him called him, "Xiao Yin."
"Hey, Director Zhao." Yin Yan immediately turned around, put his hands on his legs and sat up straight.
The main monitor stopped at a close-up of him being splashed with water again and again. Zhao Qing turned his head and looked into Yin Yan's eyes and said, "You have to remember the feeling at that moment."
Yin Yan was startled and turned to look at the eyes in the monitor that were filled with anger, powerlessness, pain and other complex emotions. After a while, he nodded hesitantly.
It was already late when the scenes in the washroom were finished. After a short break, everyone packed up and moved to another location.
The classroom had been set up and the extras were in place. A camera was set up at the door of the classroom, and Yu Xiangwen squeezed in and sat in the vacant seat.
There was no rehearsal this time. Zhao Qing asked Yin Yan to act according to his feelings and take a try.
Two scenes and one shot.
Lin spent half a day wringing his school uniform, and not long after he put it on, water droplets began to drip down the hem.
The evening self-study classroom was full of whispers. No one cared about Lin Wu, who skipped the evening class and came back soaked like a drowned rat.
Under the grinning gaze of the man with the earrings and others, Lin Wu sat back in his seat.
He wiped his wet cuffs and put the messed up textbooks on the desk with his hands that were red from the cold. Lin Wu found tonight's homework and when he opened it, he found four big words written on the book with a colored pen: I am a sissy.
The purple lips were now bitten white, and the wound at the corner of the mouth was affected, revealing a glaring red blush.
Adjusting his crooked glasses frame, Lin Wu lowered his head and tore off the pages that were scribbled on, crumpled them into a ball, and held the ball tightly in his hand.
Something suddenly hit the back of his head. Lin Wu paused and reached out to grab the towel that was sliding down his shoulders.
He turned back in surprise.
He Xiandu zipped up his sports bag and tapped the comic book on the table with his other hand: "It's wet."
"...I'm sorry." Lin Wu held the boy's towel. Her big eyes behind the black frame were red and there was a hint of moisture on her long eyelashes.
Closing the comic, He Xiandu leaned forward and looked at Lin Wu's palm-sized face curiously: "Why do you really look like a girl?"
The originally soft voice became cold and hard again. Lin Wu tightened his lips and turned his head back: "I'll return the towel to you after washing it."
"No need." The person behind him smiled nonchalantly, "It's for you."
…
On the first day of filming, we didn’t have many scenes to rehearse, but by the time we finished filming, it was already dark.
After eating a few bites of lunch box on the set that night, Yin Yan lost his appetite as expected after the show.
The nanny car stopped at the back door of the hotel. Xiao Wu asked Yin Yan to go upstairs first while he went to buy some things.
Yin Yan guessed that Xiao Wu wanted to buy him food, and he couldn't stop him, so he just let him go.
I went upstairs to wash the thermos containing ginger soup. Xiao Wu sent a message saying that there were too many people in the store and we had to wait for a while, and asked Yin Yan to take a shower first to avoid catching a cold.
He had changed his wet school uniform long ago, but after falling on the bathroom floor for most of the day, Yin Yan wanted to take a shower first.
He took his bathrobe into the bathroom and saw his pale face in the mirror. The bruises on his face were painted on, but the bruises on his body were real.
He took off his clothes and turned sideways. His lower back was covered with bruises and purples, which were caused by hitting the radiator in the bathroom.
Before filming began, it was said that a real fight was fine. It's not that Yin Yan felt that real fighting was the only way to be professional and attentive. It's just that for the final effect presented by the camera, some bumps and collisions are inevitable. Instead of carefully testing over and over again to see to what extent it would be considered real, it is better to act it out in one go.
And this will also help him get into the state faster.
I took a shower with a grin on my face, and when I came out in my bathrobe, there was a knock on the door.
Yin Yan thought Xiao Wu forgot to bring the spare room card, so he walked over while wiping his hair: "Here I come!"
When the door opened, the person standing at the door was not Xiao Wu, but Yu Xiangwen, who had changed into casual clothes.
Yin Yan was confused: "...Brother Yu?"
His eyes swept over Yin Yan's wet hair and the bathrobe that was casually gathered up. Yu Xiangwen paused and said, "I just sent you a message saying I would come over."
"Ah." The light powder on his face from the steam in the shower turned into a healthier rosy color. Yin Yan fumbled for his bathrobe and found that it had no pockets. He turned back to his room and said in a panic, "I didn't check my phone when I just showered."
Yu Xiangwen smiled: "Then can I come in?"
Yin Yan found his phone on the bed, looked around, and saw that the room was relatively tidy, so he said, "Okay, okay."
When Yu Xiangwen came in and closed the door, Yin Yan's heart skipped a beat.
In the bathroom, Lin Wuhe Xiandu was still on her mind, but now all she could think about was Yang Chenrui's words: He wants to sleep with you.
Or the 3D stereo sound surrounds your brain and plays in a loop.
Yin Yan opened his phone with some trembling hands and saw the message Yu Xiangwen sent ten minutes ago.
[Teacher Yu]: I have some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment here. I’ll give it to you later.
Yin Yan: “…”
It turned out that he had a dirty mind.
…
No one knew how things turned out, but Yin Yan lay on the bed in a daze, lifted up his clothes, and let another person's hand touch his sensitive lower back.
It's a very unfamiliar temperature.
Yin Yan dodged and buried his head in the pillow to hold back his laughter, and said in a muffled voice: "It's itchy."
He had just gone to the bathroom to change out of his bathrobe and was now wearing a loose sweatshirt and trousers, so even though his waist and back were exposed, the scene in the room looked very harmonious.
Even if the auditors from Green River City came here with a lock, they wouldn't be able to find a single mistake.
This is a very common medicine.
The only problem was Yin Yan's mind, which was running wild like a wild horse.
He thought intermittently: Why does Teacher Yu take care of him so much?
You don't really want to sleep with him?
Is it that I want to be his wife on the set? ? !
When performing Wu Xiaobai, his hands were covered with a thin layer of calluses after killing three months of fish. No matter how hard he used, as long as he touched the slender waist trapped in the snow-white bed, he could poke Yin Yan like a caterpillar.
Yin Yan couldn't help but pat the pillow, regretting that he had believed Yu Xiangwen and asked him to help apply the medicine.
He struggled to sit up: "Forget it, Brother Yu, I'll just apply it myself."
"You can't see it, so don't move. There is also a bruise on your back." Yu Xiangwen looked at the glaring bruise on the smooth skin. He couldn't take it lightly or seriously, and he broke out in a sweat.
After thinking for a long time, he simply pressed down with his big hand, like pinching the seven inches of a snake, and controlled Yin Yan's waist and back. He allowed Yin Yan to struggle and laugh and howl, and quickly applied the ointment on him.
"Okay, don't get up yet. This needs to dry for a while." Yu Xiangwen finally breathed a sigh of relief, let go of Yin Yan, and took a tissue to wipe his hands.
Yin Yan was so exhausted from all the struggling that he just lay down on the bed, his ears already completely red.
His head was still buried in the pillow, and he said weakly: "Thank you, Brother Yu."
The ointment that Yu Xiangwen brought was very effective. It must contain analgesic ingredients. After a while, Yin Yan's wound no longer hurt.
There was a chill on his back. Yin Yan lay there for a while, listening to Yu Xiangwen throwing away the tissue. Then there was no more movement. He couldn't help but raise his head and looked around. He saw Yu Xiangwen sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at his back in a trance.
Yin Yan: “…”
The atmosphere is a little subtle.
Yin Yan was flustered and couldn't help thinking, if Yu Xiangwen invited him to spend the night together later, how should he refuse tactfully but gracefully?
You have to refuse faster.
Because Yin Yan was afraid that his obsession with appearance would suddenly strike and he would throw all his principles out of the window.
Looking at Yin Yan, who was sticking his head up like a seal, Yu Xiangwen came back to his senses and said with a slight smile: "Next time you encounter a situation like today, you can tell the director first."
Yin Yan lay back on the bed and scratched the sheets with his fingers: "Yeah, I get it."
"If you want to shoot realistically, the director will definitely agree. If you tell him, he can ask the crew to find ways to arrange more protective measures for you as much as possible." Yu Xiangwen said seriously, "This time it's just a little bruise, what if you get hurt next time?"
The person behind him was obviously very gentle, but he made Yin Yan blush and feel ashamed.
Oh my God, Teacher Yu cares about him so much.
And he was thinking about all sorts of messed up things in his mind.
Thinking that Yin Yan was embarrassed by what he said, Yu Xiangwen took the script that Yin Yan had placed on the bedside, fanned the ointment on his back, and said, "Except for the fact that you allowed yourself to get so many injuries, your performance in other areas was very good. You got into the role very quickly."
Yin Yan stopped repenting for the moment and thought of the scene that Zhao Qing specifically asked him to remember.
The little seal raised his head again and turned to Yu Xiangwen and said, "I think I understand why the director chose the water room scene as the first scene."
"When I was acting the water splashing scene, my arms were twisted and I was pressed to the ground. My back hurt and my body was cold. For a moment, I seemed to have really become Lin Wu. My heart was filled with his despair and pain, as well as reluctance. It was as if I had been abandoned by the whole world."
Yin Yan was a little nervous when filming started, but after the scenes in the washroom were finished, when he and Yu Xiangwen filmed the classroom scenes, Yin Yan found that his performance was much more natural than expected.
Because at that time he was already immersed in Lin Wu's feelings and had no time to care about Yu Xiangwen or not. The only person in front of him was "He Xiandu".
Yin Yan stuck out his tongue and said, "I was a little slow to act. Fortunately, the emotions in the previous and next two scenes were coherent, otherwise I would have had a lot of NGs."
Yu Xiangwen smiled when he heard this and said, "You are an experiential actor. Director Zhao knows what scenes can motivate you to get into the play, and he will make corresponding arrangements later so that you can shoot more smoothly."
"Is that so?" The little seal twisted his body and turned around a little, looking up at Yu Xiangwen. "In my previous crew, the director said that my immersive filming was too emotionally draining."
"Each director prefers a different way of acting. The experiential way of acting is to use emotions, which is also a kind of talent. Not everyone can completely put themselves into the role." Yu Xiangwen said, "Director Zhao likes to use experiential actors, and you happen to have this talent. Follow the director and shoot well, and you will grow."
Yu Xiangwen paused, and then continued, "If you have any problems with acting, you can come to me or the director. Director Zhao doesn't say much in a day and seems very cold, but he is actually socially anxious. If you go to him to talk about acting, no matter how small the problem is, he will patiently help you solve it."
Yin Yan: “…”
So the director is quiet because of social phobia...
Since entering the circle, many people have said that Yin Yan has a talent for acting, but Yin Yan doesn't think so.
He just has less personality than others.
Many times, Yin Yan's behavior is just imitation of others. He does what others do.
So when acting, he can put himself into the role's situation more easily.
He acts the way the character would act.
After thanking Yu Xiangwen solemnly for his kindness for who knows how many times, Yin Yan became more certain that Yang Chenrui must have overthought it, and he also kept thinking about some unnecessary things.
How could Yu Xiangwen be the kind of person who takes naps anywhere on the set!
He is obviously a good senior who cares for and loves younger actors!
After untying the knot in his heart, Yin Yan gradually relaxed. He moved closer to Yu Xiangwen and asked curiously, "Brother Yu should also be an experiential person when filming, right? Then are you also slow to exit a role?"
Yu Xiangwen looked at the head that was close to him, and couldn't help but rub it, but he quickly withdrew his hand. He was silent for a while, and shook his head after a moment, but didn't say anything.
Before Yin Yan could ask more questions, the door of the room rang, and Xiao Wu's nagging voice came in: "It's already this late, and there are still so many people in the restaurant. Brother, the food here is absolutely delicious, you have to eat more. When I just came back, I found a drugstore and bought a box of ointment. You fell so hard during the day, you must have been hurt. After you finish eating, I will apply it on you... "
Xiao Wu walked into the house with a lunch box in his left hand and a medicine box in his right hand. He was shocked by the scene in front of him.
He looked at Yu Xiangwen who was sitting beside the bed, and then at Yin Yan who was lying beside Yu Xiangwen's legs with most of his back exposed. His brain completely shut down: "Teacher Yu...you...he...what are you doing..."
Yin Yan: “…”
Yu Xiangwen: “…”
After nodding to Xiao Wu, who was as stiff as a plaster statue, Yu Xiangwen stood up and said, "Then I'll leave first. I'll leave the ointment to you. Apply it three times a day."
Yin Yan stood up and said, "Brother Yu, do you want to stay and have some midnight snack?"
"I won't eat anymore. I finally got back to my high school weight, but after eating a few bites I gained it back again." Yu Xiangwen curled his eyes and said, "You eat, and then go to bed early."
Yin Yanhai waved his hand: "Then, see you tomorrow, Teacher Yu. Good night."
"good evening."
After the door was completely closed, Xiao Wu finally regained his spirit. He put down the things in his hands in a hurry, pulled a chair and sat at the end of the bed, looking at the disheveled Yin Yan with a serious face. After a moment, he angrily said: "You, what did you do while I was away!!"
Yin Yan: “…”
Why do these two look like they are catching someone cheating?
Yin Yan shrank his shoulders and whispered, "As you can see, Teacher Yu helped me apply the medicine."
"And then?" Xiao Wu narrowed his eyes.
After drying his back, Yin Yan sat up, pulled up his clothes, crossed his legs and stared at Xiao Wu: "Then, we talked about the experiential acting school in performing arts."
Xiao Wu: “……?”
Yin Yan: "Then, you came back."
Xiao Wu: “…”
Is it that he has a dirty mind?
Yin Yan looked at Xiao Wu frankly, as if saying: Yes, you have a dirty mind.
"Let's eat first. We need to rest for a while before we can go to sleep." Yin Yan no longer responded to Xiao Wu's confused gaze. He picked up the script and went to the bedside to put on his slippers.
Xiao Wu paused when he saw him put down the script, and then poked the magician on the bedside table.
wrong.
Something is wrong.
Something is wrong.
…
After the bullying scene on the first day, there was a long daily routine. The director began to gradually show his NG-crazy nature, shooting every scene extremely delicately, from the subversion and reorganization of the lines, the scenery and the plot to the actors' fleeting movements and eyes.
The entire crew was going through adjustments and adjustments again and again. The director kept shouting "start", "cut", and "do it again" tirelessly. Every little incongruous detail did not escape Zhao Qingchi's eyes.
Compared to the horrific number of NGs that Director Zhao was rumored to have, Yin Yan's current situation is not bad.
Compared with his previous filming experience, the number of NGs has certainly increased, but after a while, he got used to it, and every day he followed the director to find that mysterious state of immersion in the role.
In the current plot development, Lin Wu has not yet been discovered to be gay. He is just a quiet and introverted boy who is somewhat un-boyish.
After borrowing the towel, Lin Wu and He Xiandu had some exchanges. Occasionally, when they were surrounded by the man with earrings and his gang, He Xiandu would come forward and put his arm around Lin Wu's shoulders and lead him out of the crowd.
In fact, He Xiandu’s attitude towards Lin Wu was not very good.
But Lin mistakenly took the boy's casual words as his salvation.
The wind on the rooftop was quite strong, and the pried-open lock was thrown randomly on the ground.
The boy's face was covered with a comic book, the back of his head was resting on a sports bag, and his slender body was stretched out comfortably.
Lin Wu sat gently next to the boy, hugged her knees, and looked up at the dazzling sun in the sky.
"You...don't think I'm weird?"
He really couldn't help it and asked the question.
The boy seemed to be asleep and did not answer for a long time. Just when Lin thought that he could not hear the answer, He Xiandu's voice came from under the comic book: "What's so strange about being beautiful?"
Lin Wu pursed his lips and said, "I look like a girl..."
Not only in appearance, but also in personality, he doesn't have the carefreeness that a boy should have. Most of the time, he speaks and acts in a gentle manner, which seems incongruous and weird.
There was no sound on the rooftop. Lin Wu stood up and walked to the fence. He stood on tiptoe and hung dangerously on the railing to watch the figures playing basketball on the playground.
The comic book fell to the ground. He Xiandu opened his eyes and looked at the blue sky above his head. He asked, "Lin Wu, do you think you are a girl?"
Lin Wu turned to look at He Xiandu, a trace of confusion appeared on his face. After hesitating for a long time, he said: "...I don't know."
He has never thought about this question. He just behaves like a girl, but deep down, does he want to be a girl?
Lin Wu thought for a long time, and finally said cautiously: "No. It shouldn't be."
Lin Wu's gentle voice gradually became firm: "I am still a boy."
Even though many people say that he learns like a girl, is neither male nor female, and is a sissy, he feels that he is just a little different from most people, which does not mean that he has become a girl.
Ignoring Lin Wu's change of mood, He Xiandu yawned leisurely, sat up, grabbed his hair, and said, "That's it."
He looked at the stunned Lin Wu and laughed, "Are you a little stupid? You can't even figure out whether you are a man or not."
Lin Wu glared at He Xiandu angrily, but when he turned around, he looked panicked and covered his chest with one hand.
He Xiandu stood up and walked to Lin Wu's side, with his arm resting on the fence, very close to him.
Lin Wu glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw He Xiandu lazily watching the basketball game downstairs. His gaze gradually shifted to the boy's face.
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and Lin Wu listened quietly to his own disordered heartbeat.
He didn't dare say it.
I dare not say that he is still a boy who likes boys.
…
"Card!"
Yin Yan's eyes were still lingering on "He Xiandu". Yu Xiangwen looked at him sideways for a while, then suddenly turned away and said, "I'm going to take a rest."
Yin Yan blinked and said blankly: "Oh, okay."
Watching Yu Xiangwen gradually walk away and leaving the rooftop, Yin Yan returned to his sports bag, sat down and casually flipped through the comic book on the ground.
Xiao Wu came over and saw Yin Yan looked as if he was out of his mind. He asked tentatively, "Brother, are you getting too deep into the role again?"
Yin Yan didn't say anything. After a while, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Xiao Wudao: "It's okay, it's just fine now. It will be fine after the filming is finished."
Xiao Wu felt a chill down his spine after being stared at.
The director in the crew was right when he said that Yin Yan was too tired during filming. Once Yin Yan got into the role, he would be immersed in his emotions even after the performance, and it would take him a while to extricate himself.
It looks like being possessed by something.
Just now, Yin Yan looked at Yu Xiangwen with such a heavy look in his eyes, so it’s no wonder that Teacher Yu wanted to leave.
"Teacher Yin! The director asked you to come over!" the staff member shouted, and then looked around, "Hey, where's Teacher Yu?"
"Hey! Here he comes!" Yin Yan stood up and hopped twice on the spot like a rabbit. He looked a little better. He said to Xiao Wu, "Brother Yu's assistant is still upstairs. He shouldn't have gone far. Go and help call him."
Xiao Wu nodded.
After a while, Director Zhao showed the replay to Yin Yan and Yu Xiangwen. He didn't say anything to Yin Yan, but instead looked at Yu Xiangwen for a long time with a frown on his face. He waved his hand and said, "Take another shot and see."
…
They finished work early today, so Yin Yan and Xiao Wu went to eat nearby and then walked back to the hotel.
On the way, Xiao Wu said, "Brother, you are more devoted to the filming this time than before. Director Zhao not only did not interrupt you, but also wanted you to be closer to Lin Wu's state. This is just the beginning. After the filming of a play is finished, you need to take a few months to recover."
"Don't worry, the director knows what's going on. I think it's good now. In fact, it was fun to act during the shoot, but I'm slow to express my emotions. I'll be fine after a break." Yin Yan was in a good mood after having a delicious grilled fish meal. He said, "I heard that Brother Yu took a break for half a year after filming "The Road to Choice". He's doing well now. No matter how dedicated I am, I can't reach Brother Yu's level."
Xiao Wu's words were on the tip of his tongue, but he glanced at Yin Yan's slightly curved eyebrows and swallowed them back awkwardly.
However, Yin Yan also knew that he was in a bit of a state of insanity recently, which made Yu Xiangwen afraid to talk to him much after the performance, for fear of affecting him.
Yin Yan was thinking about inviting Teacher Yu to dinner one day to thank him for his cooperation and tolerance.
The grilled fish tonight is very good. I will take Teacher Yu to eat it next time.
After returning to the room, taking a shower and drying his hair, Yin Yan lay down on the bed comfortably. The immersive filming was indeed tiring, and he originally just wanted to take a break and read the script later, but he fell asleep in a daze.
Half asleep and half awake, Yin Yan heard someone knocking on his door.
Xiao Wu has a spare card, so he can just swipe the card whenever he comes. Besides, there shouldn't be anything to do tonight, right?
There was another knock on the door. Yin Yan thought of Yu Xiangwen who had come to see him twice before. He flipped over, turned over dazedly, and shook his head to drive away the sleepiness.
He reached for the phone on the bed, turned it on and walked to the door: "Who is it?"
Not seeing any message from Yu Xiangwen on his phone, nor anyone else looking for him, Yin Yan opened the door full of doubts.
There was not a soul in the corridor.
After walking out the door and looking around, Yin Yan got goose bumps on his arms. He frowned and went back to the house, hesitating whether to send a message to Xiao Wu.
Before Yin Yan could open the dialog box with Xiao Wu, the door was knocked again.
This time Yin Yan didn't say anything. He walked to the door quietly and opened it suddenly.
There was no one at the door, but there was laughter and messy footsteps coming from the corner of the corridor.
Yin Yan pursed her lips, stood at the door with the door open, called Xiao Wu, and said after the call was connected: "Someone just knocked on my door."
Xiao Wu immediately understood what was going on and quickly rolled up his sleeves and rushed over.
"Where are the people? Have you seen them?" Xiao Wu asked angrily.
Yin Yan shook his head: "He must have gone to the fire escape. I've been standing here waiting since I finished talking to you, and he hasn't come over since."
"Stop running around, I'll go over and take a look." Xiao Wu went towards the fire escape.
Yin Yan looked at it and frowned even deeper.
Xiao Wu walked around the fire escape several times but didn't see anyone. Those people must have run away.
Yin Yan was worried, so he followed him downstairs. The two met in the hotel lobby. Xiao Wu looked around like a minesweeper, saying, "Brother Yan, you go up. This place is too conspicuous. Those people might be standing in a corner staring at you."
"They already know which room I live in. There's no difference between me standing here and standing in the room." Yin Yan pursed her lips and said, "I just don't know how many days they have been following me, whether they have followed me to the set, and what if they affect the crew."
"That shouldn't be the case. He left everyone behind when he got off the highway that day. It's been a few days, how could he still be following us?" Xiao Wu's face became serious, and he asked doubtfully, "Did they put a locator in the car?"
After saying that, he shook his head and denied it: "The car only stopped for a while, and everyone was stopped by the security guards, so there was no chance."
Yin Yan sighed and said, "You should talk to Brother Liu first, and then the crew..."
"Why are you standing here?"
Yin Yan turned around and saw Yu Xiangwen and his assistant Xiao Cao walking over.
"Brother Yu." Yin Yan said in a low voice.
Yu Xiangwen glanced at his expression, and then saw Xiao Wu next to him frowning so hard that he could kill a mosquito, so he asked, "What happened?"
Yin Yan hesitated for a moment and told what had just happened.
Yin Yan: "...Should I go and apologize to the director?"
At this moment, Yu Xiangwen’s brows could kill a mosquito.
When he looked up and saw Yu Xiangwen's face full of gloom, Yin Yan was stunned, and lowered his head silently, feeling that he had caused trouble for the crew.
"This is not your fault." Yu Xiangwen said in a steady voice.
Yin Yan looked up at him, and Yu Xiangwen had already turned around and made arrangements: "Xiao Cao, go tell the theater management that Mr. Yin's room is no longer available, and we need to find him a new place to live."
Yu Xiangwen turned his gaze back: "Do you want to stay here, or change hotels?"
Yin Yan thought for a moment and said, "Let's change hotels."
The fans already knew that he was staying in this hotel. Unless he didn't go out, they would be able to follow him and find his room.
Yu Xiangwen also thought this was a better approach. He nodded and asked Xiao Cao to contact the production management.
The group left the hall first. Yu Xiangwen thought for a long time before asking, "Do you want to call the police?"
"But the crew here..." Yin Yan looked at him.
"I'll go talk to Director Zhao," Yu Xiangwen said. "You don't know how they found us now. Even if we move to a new hotel, we're still worried. It's best to have the police come and check the surveillance footage to find those people directly."
Once the police arrived, many people would know about it, and it would be easy for the media to hear about it. Whether to expose it or not would depend on the opinions of Yin Yan and his team, and Yu Xiangwen could only give a suggestion.
Yin Yan thought for a long time, then shook his head: "Let's try another hotel first."
