On the filming set, cameras orbiting around the actors, either far or near, are filming quietly, and the entire set is silent.

This shot has been repeated six times. Min Shoubei has criticized every department, but it has nothing to do with the actors. Both of them are in an extraordinary state of performance throughout.

Shen Ci was still sitting in the same position, his eyes calm and tired, all the muscles in his body lazily relaxed and drooping.

He was so tired that he could hardly move, so he just lay down. His legs were twisted into an awkward position, which made his hamstrings ache. He was too tired to adjust himself and slowly closed his eyes.

Min Shoubei hugged his arms and stared closely at Shen Ci on the surveillance screen. His knuckles curled involuntarily and pressed against his lips, stroking his dry and chapped lower lip slowly and heavily.

For fear of affecting the filming status, all unnecessary communication in the crew was prohibited, and the atmosphere became even more tense.

With a "bang", Lu An, sweating and anxious, pushed the door open and entered the rooftop. The photographer behind him ran past Lu An silently and quickly, stepped onto the slide accurately and moved backwards.

Lu An's stunned face quietly faded away. The camera swept across the empty rooftop and the blue sky, framing the lying Shen Ci into the picture. Then, the camera was remotely controlled to slowly rotate the angle. The camera was hoisted up and slowly rose from the rooftop. The camera gradually zoomed out vertically.

This complex motion shot was practiced hundreds of times and finally presented perfectly in the final shot.

Cameras from other angles were immediately used to continue filming the interaction between the two actors.

There was disbelief in Ah Sheng's eyes. He thought he had saved Wen Yu, but in fact, Wen Yu had always been closed in his own world, pretending to accept everyone's visits but also silently rejecting them.

Only by accepting it can you avoid more trouble.

On the slightly shabby and faded rooftop, Ah Sheng tried to persuade Wen Yu for a long time, but no matter how gorgeous and touching his words were, they were pale and powerless to a person who was in depression, and Wen Yu did not understand a word he said.

He felt annoyed, so he stood up quietly and walked calmly to the edge of the roof.

"Wen Yu!"

Wen Yu's arm was violently pulled back, and Ah Sheng pulled him to the ground, holding him tightly with red eyes.

"Even if you give up on yourself, you should still think about the people around you!"

Wen Yu's eyes remained calm, one corner of his lips pursed up in impatience, but he remained silent.

He was too lazy to explain that dying was just an option.

Just like some people choose to study abroad, and some people choose to get married and have children, some people feel that living until now is just right.

There is no need for others to feel pity or grief, nor is there any need to force redemption. He just feels helpless and annoyed.

Why not let him go away happily?

Ah Sheng kept roaring angrily, and when he saw that Wen Yu had no reaction, he gritted his teeth and forcibly knocked Wen Yu unconscious, then carried him away on his shoulders.

"Cut! This one has passed!"

Min Shoubei made the announcement with a loudspeaker, and there was immediate applause from the set, and everyone started packing up their belongings.

Lu An gently put Shen Ci back on the ground and rubbed the back of his neck: "Is it hurt?"

Shen Ci shook his head reluctantly, unable to muster the energy to speak.

Lu An knew that Shen Ci was too immersed in the role, so he sat patiently beside him and patted him on the back gently.

Shen Ci lowered his head and took a deep breath. He stretched out his hands and gently rubbed the corners of his eyes and brows. His heart felt empty.

Whenever he had to shoot a scene with complex emotions, Min Shoubei would always find Shen Ci and Lu An the night before. The three of them would sit on the hotel terrace, with Min Shoubei smoking and reminiscing, telling in a hoarse voice about his past with his wife.

"I actually forgot everything, but when I saw Shen Ci, I slowly remembered everything."

Min Shoubei exhaled a puff of smoke, which instantly dissipated in the wind like a silk thread and disappeared completely, just like what happened yesterday.

Throughout the entire play, although Shen Ci never knew his mother's name, he had already entered her and his father's lives, experiencing her inner world as a "mother".

Every time he acts, Shen Ci looks at the world from his mother's perspective, at least in his heart he becomes one with her.

There was no intense grief, only a calm and dead heart, which made Shen Ci feel lost every time he finished performing.

"A small word."

The familiar voice seemed like an illusion, and Shen Ci's hand stopped.

The man called again, the last syllable rising vaguely and nonchalantly.

Shen Ci finally looked up slowly in shock. His brother was standing not far away, looking at him with his hands in his trouser pockets.

"How did you..."

Shen Ci choked, tears streaming down his face, his arms weakly supporting the ground, his hair hanging down in disarray.

"Fuck, why are you crying?" Shen Bie was startled, and without waiting for his brother to rush over like a silly dog, he hurried over to check the situation.

Shen Bie knelt down on one knee and hugged his brother, and hurriedly wiped his tears with his sleeves: "What's going on? Who bullied you? Tell me."

Shen Ci said nothing and just shed tears. He tightened his arms and hugged his elder brother tightly, and tied Shen Bie's neck tightly, almost strangling him to death.

"..." Shen Bie resisted the urge to roll his eyes and patted Shen Ci's thin back gently and skillfully, thinking that this kid had quite a strong hand.

Brother Zhang also hurried over, squatted down and observed for a while, and said: "Maybe the emotions from filming have not yet subsided? Go and take a rest first."

"Are you so serious? Okay."

Shen Bie put his hands under Shen Ci's armpits, lifted him up easily, half-carried him on his shoulders, and strode away.

"Is this Shen Ci's brother? Why is he here?" Lu An stood up.

Brother Zhang looked worried: "Hey...some trouble just happened, so I called him and Mr. Lu. Shen Bie seemed to be here on his own, and I don't know if he can handle it..."

***

After Shen Ci cried, his bad mood improved a lot. He hugged Shen Bie's neck and sniffled.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Shen Ci asked with a strong nasal voice, leaning over his shoulder.

Shen Bie raised his eyebrows: "Didn't Brother Zhang tell you? That idiot Wen Ran is looking for you again."

"Ah?" Shen Ci suddenly woke up from his shock: "No way? What is he doing here?"

Shen Bie smiled: "Maybe the skin is itchy again, so I need to give it a good beating."

Shen Ci quickly advised: "Stop it, brother, don't fight..."

"It's okay, I brought the nanny with me today!"

Shen Ci was at a loss: "Ah?"

Shen Bie opened the back door of the car and saw Dr. Mo sitting inside. He raised his eyes when he heard the voice and gave Shen Ci a gentle smile.

"Xiaoci, long time no see."

Shen Ci: “…”

You two are quite capable. One is a violent output, and the other is a blood-replenishing nurse. You are a golden combination for collecting kills in the wild.

***

The three of them returned to the hotel and saw seven or eight black cars of the same model parked at the door, most of which were people brought by Wen Ran.

Brother Zhang and Lu An also came back, and they went to the top-floor suite together. When the elevator opened, there was indeed a large group of people guarding the door. Wen Ran was standing at the front, and his eyes lit up when he saw Shen Ci.

"Shen Ci, I want to talk to you."

Wen Ran took a few steps forward anxiously, changing his usual cynicism and speaking in a serious tone.

Shen Bie sneered and protected his brother behind him: "You have nothing to discuss with my brother, please go back."

Wen Ran glared at him angrily, and the purple wounds on his skin began to hurt again: "You'd better stop meddling in other people's business! Do you see the people behind me? They are all retired professional boxers! I'm forcing you to avenge me from last time!"

There were at least a dozen people behind him, all of them were tall and had muscles that were about to burst through their T-shirts.

Shen Bie raised his eyebrows nonchalantly: "Wow, that's amazing, but it's a pity that I didn't come here by myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator opened again, and a large group of men in black suits and black sunglasses walked into the corridor. Their postures were extremely neat and uniform, standing behind Shen Bie with their hands behind their backs. They were a mixture of all races, and their tall and strong figures gave off a strong sense of oppression.

A relatively thin man said to Shen Bie politely: "Boss, everyone is here."

He was his brother's secretary, Xiao Liu, whom Shen Ci recognized.

Shen Ci was shocked, thinking, when did his brother have the persona of a gangster prince?!

Wen Ran was obviously also startled, Shen Bie explained in a friendly manner: "The man that Mr. Lu Xiao lent me was a hired mercenary. I think one of them should be able to beat ten of you, right?"

Shen Ci was shocked again, thinking that it was not his brother, but Lu Xiao who suddenly took on the persona of a gangster godfather...

"I don't care about your shit, just come at me!" Wen Ran stopped talking nonsense and said harshly.

Immediately, thugs from both sides rushed out. The dull sound of fists hitting flesh and the creaking of bones, accompanied by the rapid stomping of leather shoes, rang out densely.

Shen Bie immediately pushed his brother and others away and stared at Wen Ran, wanting to capture the king.

Shen Ci trembled as he pulled Lu An to stand in the corner. He was terrified as he watched two groups of thugs fighting in front of him.

This was not a fighting dance, but a fistfight. Shen Ci urgently considered whether to call 110.

That’s not right, this is Country H, why bother calling 110!

He quickly took out his phone to check the police number, but just when he looked up, the fight was over...

The people brought by Wen Ran were not good enough and were soon pinned to the ground by the well-trained men in black. Even Wen Ran was subdued by Shen Bie.

Shen Bie used his knees to push hard on his back and clamped his wrists tightly, making Wen Ran unable to move.

Wen Ran was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he screamed, "Come and help me quickly! I paid you to eat shit?!"

Shen Bie was surprised and said, "Oh? Then I'll help you reluctantly."

Wen Ran frowned, not understanding what Shen Bie was talking about.

Shen Bie raised his chin and smiled: "Xiao Liu, take the guests to eat shit quickly, they can't wait."

Thugs & Wen Ran: ???

The serious Xiao Liu was very dedicated: "Good boss!"

The man in black suit brought by Shen Bie immediately started to act, and soon subdued all the frantically struggling thugs and took them to the public toilet on the first floor.

Shen Ci was stunned and tugged at Brother Zhang's arm: "Oh my god, is it so strong?"

Brother Zhang was obviously disgusted, but he still smiled calmly: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just satisfying Master Wen's request, it's a good deed."

Shen Ci: “…”

The corridor suddenly became empty and time and space disappeared. The originally ferocious Wen Ran was now like a rabbit that had fallen into a wolf's den.

Wen Ran broke out in a cold sweat and stammered, "Fuck, fuck... If you have the guts, don't let me go out, or my dad will kill you..."

The stubborn one...suddenly I find him kind of cute.

Shen Ci broke the silence with a loud laugh, and quickly covered his mouth, pretending nothing had happened.

Wen Ran heard it clearly and immediately became angry, but out of consideration for Shen Bie who could slap him in the face at any time, he had to speak in a low voice with gritted teeth.

"I just wanted to have a good talk! But you guys started fighting right away. What's the point of talking?"

Shen Bie looked distracted, his tongue licking his upper palate in boredom: "Negotiation, why bring so many people?"

Wen Ran choked: "...I feel safe! Is that not okay?"

Shen Bie rolled his eyes and said, "You sissy, how dare you come to my house like this?"

Wen Ran angrily cursed: "Fuck! We were raised by the same parents, but how come the little beauty is so cute and you are like someone who grew up on gunpowder!"

Shen Bie laughed and said, "If you call my brother 'little beauty' again, I will make sure you will never be able to find a beauty in your life."

Wen Ran's face turned pale immediately, and he said stubbornly: "None of your business! I'm here to renew my relationship with him, okay?"

"Continue the previous relationship..." Shen Bie raised his lips with a mocking smile: "Master Wen, do you want to continue this?"

He ignored the pain on Wen Ran's face and turned his wrist slightly, then stroked his palm lightly with his fingertips.

Mo Sheng, who was away from the crowd, narrowed his eyes, remained calm, and kept his eyes fixed on Shen Bie's hand.

He saw Shen Bie's fingers slowly and ambiguously drawing a love heart.

Everyone in the room was confused, except Wen Ran, whose face turned pale. His lips trembled as he stared at Shen Bie in disbelief: "You...how did you know that? Did Shen Ci tell you?"

He immediately turned to look at Shen Ci, but found that the other party had a confused look on his face and was obviously unaware of the situation.

Shen Bie smiled cruelly: "Because when we were in college, I was your friend, and my brother didn't even know you."

"I originally wanted to help him stop the harassment. Anyway, my brother would pretend not to know you when he saw you. I didn't expect you to go too far and come to my house again after so many years?"

"Then I won't be polite. Where is your skin itchy? I'll give it a hammer."

"What..." Wen Ran's voice was stuck before he could react.

Wen Ran looked at Shen Ci in astonishment. Suddenly, everything made sense - why did they only meet at night in dark places when they were in college, why was "Shen Ci" almost as tall as him, why did the other party choose to run away when there was no need for further communication...

Wen Ran struggled to look at Shen Ci, then at Shen Bie, despair slowly growing in his heart.

"Fuck..." He couldn't help but curse, but he didn't know who to curse as his nose tip began to turn red.

Shen Bie smiled: "Okay, now it's boring to see either of us, right?"

Wen Ran wanted to scold him for being a bullshit, but after knowing the truth and looking at Shen Ci again, the fire in his heart was indeed extinguished.

He lowered his head in frustration and said in a muffled voice, "Let go."

Shen Bie actually let go, walked to his brother's side to protect him, raised his chin arrogantly and stared at Wen Ran.

Shen Bie: "Are you still pestering him? My fist is a little itchy."

Wen Ran turned around and left without saying a word, looking rather distraught from behind.

Everyone was stunned. Shen Bie smacked his lips with regret: "It's so boring, isn't it? I wanted to scold him again."

After the troublemaker left, Shen Bie called Xiao Liu and asked him to release all the people.

As soon as he hung up the phone, a little kid came over and hugged Shen Bie's arm: "Brother, why didn't you tell me about this?"

"Why did you say that?" Shen Bie glanced at him: "Who would have thought that he would come to you again? He's haunting you."

Shen Ci looked up, his deer eyes sparkling with gossip: "Brother, did you... have feelings for him back then?"

For a moment, all the sounds in the room became silent at the same time. Although everyone seemed to be busy, they were actually listening attentively, especially the subordinates brought by Shen Bie.

The entire group is very concerned about the young master's marital status and hopes that someone can cure his temper as soon as possible.

But whenever Shen Bie has a romantic encounter, he will strangle himself to death. Everyone gets extremely anxious, but no one dares to touch the tiger and urge him to hurry up.

Only Shen Ci could ask without restraint.

"Brother, if you don't want to talk..." Shen Ci saw that Shen Bie hadn't said anything for a long time, and quickly added: "Just write a small note to me!"

Shen Bie pinched his cheek and said, "You little brat, you are such a naughty kid!"

"It hurts, it hurts!" Shen Ci was almost pinched to tears.

"There's nothing to hide, it's all in the past." Shen Bie touched his chin, thinking, "A little bit, if he shuts up, he's almost the look I like. Otherwise, how could I come up with such a bad idea? That idiot would have been disgusted to death a long time ago."

"After pretending to be you and getting in touch with you for a few weeks, I found out that appearance is really a sign of a person's worth... I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to handle the filthy power of that thing, so I just ran away."

"I was young at the time, and now I think I was such a fool. No matter how powerful the Wen family was, wouldn't it be enough to just cover them with a sack and beat them up? I wouldn't have these nasty thoughts now."

Shen Ci thought to himself that it was a good thing that Shen Bie changed his mind, otherwise if he really got together with Wen Ran...

He didn't care. The key was Lu Xiao. He had to call Wen Ran "sister-in-law".

Shen Ci got goosebumps all over his body, it was scary just thinking about it.

"It's all your brother's dark history. Don't mention it. It's disgusting." Shen Bie touched his brother's soft hair and suddenly remembered something. He looked around: "Hey? Where's Doctor Mo? I still have injuries waiting to be treated."

Yu Yang said timidly: "I think he doesn't look well. He has been out for a while."

"Going out?" Shen Bie frowned, hurriedly told Shen Ci to have a good rest, turned around and left.

Shen Ci said "Oh" in confusion.

"That's not right..." Brother Zhang sighed and crossed his arms: "Ci Baoer, don't you think there's something wrong with the way Dr. Mo looks at your brother? Their relationship..."

"Um?"

Shen Ci's eyes lit up and he realized that things were not simple.
