Chapter 89
Lu Zixi considered himself a man of measure, but Yan Yunzhen's presence always threw him off balance. After all this trouble, he was carried to Yuanhong's lounge and slept through the night, only to be woken up by Yan Yunzhen, who had finished his official duties.
He saw Yan Yunzhen squatting in front of him, and for some reason he turned over and lay on Yan Yunzhen's back. Yan Yunzhen was slightly stunned, but he actually carried him up obediently.
Yan Yunzhen held his butt with one hand and pushed open the door of the lounge with the other. The air conditioner in the lounge was turned on very high, and the cold wind from outside rushed in. Lu Zixi was awakened almost instantly: "Hey you..."
"Don't move," Yan Yunzhen slapped him on the butt as a warning. It wasn't very strong, but Lu Zixi still felt strangely ashamed, and his ears turned red in an instant. "Hold on tight, be careful not to fall."
"My dad hasn't spanked me since I started junior high," Lu Zixi grumbled angrily, "I'm not done with you."
"Your legs are so weak, and you still want to let me go?" Yan Yunzhen carried him on his back as he walked towards the internal elevator, with an obvious smile in his voice.
"Who can I blame?" Lu Zixi was furious and pushed him in the back with his leg. "How dare you say that?"
"Hey!" Yan Yunzhen stumbled and quickly reached out to steady the angry little guy behind him. He took the initiative to confess, "It's my fault. It's all my fault. I'll atone for my sins now."
Lu Zixi fumbled to take out the authorization card from Yan Yunzhen's pocket and swiped it on the elevator.
"So...what do you want to punish me for?"
Yan Yunzhen tilted his head slightly backward, and Lu Zixi also tilted his head, looking at his well-defined profile, swinging his legs and thinking for a while, then bit the back of his neck.
"Hiss—you dare to bite me." Yan Yunzhen took a breath and lifted him up. "Is it delicious?"
Lu Zixi shook his head behind him, rubbing his head against his shoulder, his hair rubbing against his skin affectionately, making Yan Yunzhen feel itchy.
"I just want to bite you." Lu Zixi leaned over to his ear and said with a deliberately vicious look, "Hasn't the number of times you've bitten me been enough?"
Yan Yunzhen couldn't help but laugh.
It was late at night. Even industry giants like Yuanhong, which operated day and night, no longer had the bustling crowds of people that they did during the day. The building was empty, with only a few departments and staff on duty still at their posts to maintain basic business operations. This made Lu Zixi feel at ease. He put his head on Yan Yunzhen's back, feeling the rare warmth without having to dodge in a way that was almost unbridled and coquettish.
"Do you remember what you said before?" Yan Yunzhen walked out of the side door with Lu Zixi on his back and whispered, "It was on the day of the fashion show, when we came out from backstage, you said you had a romantic idea many years ago. You wanted to pick a snowy day to get your marriage certificate, without an umbrella, and live happily ever after with the one you love."
"I remember." Lu Zixi nodded.
"It's snowing today." Yan Yunzhen stopped and motioned him to look up.
When Lu Zixi came to Yuanhong before, he just felt that the wind was a little strong today, and he didn't feel the coming of snow. But after he finished the audition, had some fun with Yan Yunzhen, and woke up from another sleep, a layer of snow had accumulated on the ground. Snowflakes fluttered down from the sky, hanging in the orange light, as gentle as big goose down.
Lu Zixi felt his eyes getting red for some reason. Yan Yunzhen didn't say anything. He just stood there with his back to him, watching quietly.
"We were talking about Dad just now. Is he still hiding it from me?" Lu Zixi rubbed his eyes on Yan Yunzhen's coat and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, we took some of the materials you left behind at Yuanhong but haven't been publicly shown yet and connected them to your father's TV in the nursing home to ensure that he can see the constant appearance of 'you', but I think we can't hide it anymore." Yan Yunzhen looked at Luoxue, "Your father is a smart man. The reason he was able to let us hide this is because he would rather believe that you are fine, or that it is not a big deal, rather than speculate in the worst direction..."
"Do I feel very sorry for my father?" Lu Zixi said, "I was rebellious when I was little. He didn't want me to enter the entertainment industry, but I insisted. Later, I couldn't fulfill my filial duties. Every day I was either busy filming or rushing to attend announcements. He wanted me to get married and have children as soon as possible, but I still like men... I can't even fulfill such a simple wish for him."
"It's not your fault." Yan Yunzhen said.
"I know." Lu Zixi sighed. "Then I died before him, and was lucky enough to be reborn. But even now, I can't completely ensure my own safety. I don't dare to contact him or reveal my identity, for fear of threatening his safety... I'm such a failure as a son."
"You're already fine." Yan Yunzhen didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only repeat, "The current situation is so complicated, and you've handled it very well. As long as we find the culprit who has been hunting you down in these two lives, everything will be fine."
"I hope so." Lu Zixi stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake.
The snowflake melted in his palm and turned into a drop of water.

As the industry leader, Yuanhong naturally has its own mature way of operating. While Lu Zixi was busy reading the script and rehearsing the scenes and taking promotional photos, the celebration party for "Clinic No. 58" which dominated the box office during the same period had not yet ended. They struck while the iron was hot and released information through various "rumors" that Lu Zixi had allegedly passed the audition, successfully signed the contract, and would soon star in the new work of the genius screenwriter Wang Tengfei, the movie "Looking for Mr. X".
Although Lu Zixi is not the protagonist in "Clinic No. 58", no matter how popular the movie is, it cannot be counted as his box office performance, but the superb acting skills he demonstrated in the movie have undoubtedly become a major plus point for the movie.
According to various analyses, based solely on his role as Young Master Jun in "Clinic No. 58", Lu Zixi is very likely to be nominated for the Best New Actor award in major awards this year, including the Qianqiu Award for Best Actor, which he won in his previous life for "Peeping Light".
However, some people also said that although "Clinic No. 58" was well received by the audience, it had too much commercial flavor and the Qianqiu Awards, which is known for its artistic taste, might not be interested in it.
On the contrary, another equally prestigious domestic award that places more emphasis on "popularity" - the Golden Phoenix Award - is more likely to include this newcomer with unlimited potential in the selection range.
The Golden Phoenix Award is a traditional domestic award. It was initially held once a year, but later changed to every two years. "Clinic No. 58" was released at the end of last year, so it will also be included in the Golden Phoenix Award selection at the end of this year.
These controversies completely ignited public opinion after the news that Lu Zixi might participate in "Looking for Mr. X" was reported.
Some people believe that this is a manifestation of Yuanhong's strong recommendation of Lu Zixi. The movie "Looking for Mr. X" is obviously a competition for awards, which proves that Yuanhong is determined to win the Best Newcomer Award at this year's Qianqiu Awards.
But more people think that this must be an unscrupulous marketing account that is praising a potential newcomer. Unlike the group portrait setting of "Clinic No. 58", "Searching for Mr. X" is a movie that completely revolves around the protagonist. It is no exaggeration to say that 80% of the scenes are focused on the mysterious Mr. X and the criminal police captain Gao Feng. Whether this movie can be successful, apart from the screenwriter, director, logistics and post-production efforts, it can be said that the rest is almost entirely determined by the level of the leading actors.
With the excellent performance of "Clinic No. 58" before him, it is obviously unrealistic to ask Lu Zixi to step back and play a supporting role with almost no lines; but taking on the role of the protagonist in just the second movie - what a joke?
And if Lu Zixi was fooled around and ended up making a movie that was not as good as "Looking for Mr. X", how much damage would it cause to his reputation and fans?
Almost no one believed this was true. Even many of Lu Zixi's fans were protesting emotionally, demanding that Yuanhong officials issue a statement to protect their own artists.
On the third day of the incident, the film company took action first.

The picture shows a silhouette of a man holding a cigarette. His fingers have been scorched yellow by years of tobacco oil, and the thick and slightly deformed middle finger joints indicate his identity as a writer.
When everyone heard that the statement had been released, they rushed to see it. However, the film company ended up filing a huge lawsuit, which stood in the way of everyone.
Who is this person?
