Crossover Actors - Chapter 62
[Chapter 62]
Because it was broad daylight, it was not quiet in the first-class cabin, and there were passengers talking at a low volume.
Lu Wen was dressed in casual clothes, with a gray sweater, sweatpants, and a jacket all black, and an unbuttoned cashmere scarf round his thighs. He propped his chin and had been in a daze for half an hour with no expression on his face.
These two days each year are his most stable times.
Sun Xiaojian works next to him. Since Lu Wen publicly slapped Jin Yanyu and the show team, his workload these days is more than in the past year.
“This show is really on the right track.” Sun Xiaojian said with emotion, “In order to let you brush your face, I didn’t expect you to overfulfill the task, and your popularity and popularity skyrocketed.”
In normal times, Lu Wen would definitely accompany him, but at this moment Just a nonchalant “hmm” sound.
Sun Xiaojian was vaccinated: “Although it didn’t become popular overnight, it’s a salted fish turned over compared to before. Don’t float, what should I do, just listen to the fans’ praise.”
Lu Wen nodded, compared to How many fans he has, he is more concerned about the audience’s evaluation of his works, and asked: “How about 6 episodes of “The Autumn of Thousand Years”?”
“I was just about to say.” Sun Xiaojian said, “You play the male bodyguard. , basically there is a male protagonist in the scene, and you are strong in martial arts, loyal and taciturn, especially the episode of the savior in gold armor and red cape, which is amazing.”
Lu Wen was a little relieved, and asked: “How is the ratings?”
Sun Xiaojian replied: “Before the same period, Three, the team of “Wannianqiu” is there, it won’t be bad. But you don’t need to worry about the ratings, and you don’t need to be stressed.” As
he was talking, the flight attendant pushed the beverage cart past and asked for something to drink. Lu Wen scanned the dazzling bottles. Juices are high in sugar and Coke will burp. Why don’t you have a glass of pure milk.
“I’m sorry.” The flight attendant showed a little excitement in the politeness, “Are you Mr. Lu Wen?”
Lu Wen: “Ah? I am.” The
flight attendant said happily: “I watched Utopia and liked you very much.”
It is difficult for Lu Wen to describe the feeling of this moment, the trance that comes from all the hard work, and the surprise that the fantasy shines into reality. He smiled slowly and said kindly, “Thank you.” The
flight attendant returned to the original point: “What would you like to drink?”
Now that he was recognized, Lu Wen had to implement the character set in the show and replied, “Uh, a glass of ice water.” Halfway through the
flight, Sun Xiaojian went to the company after getting off the plane, turned off the iPad and said, “There are scripts, interviews and endorsements recently. If you keep looking for them, the company will screen them, and I will send you a copy of your email, so you can take a look and consider it.”
Lu Wen: “I see.”
“Oh yes, I forgot to tell you.” Sun Xiaojian said, “Some media have asked about the itinerary. , so there will be reporters at the airport.”
Lu Wen scratched his temples: “I’m in a hurry.”
Sun Xiaojian explained: “Don’t delay, you go your way. This kind of draft is not reviewed, but 80% of them will mention Jin Yanyu, you If you can’t answer, just smile and pass.”
The clouds outside the window gradually faded, the plane landed and skidded, Lu Wen unbuckled his seat belt and stretched. The sun was fine yesterday, but today the wind has cooled down. He pulled the metal zipper pull of the down jacket to the top.
Without going through the VIP passage, Lu Wen appeared from the gate, and before he could see where he was going, a flash of flashing lights shot towards him. After getting used to it for a few seconds, he greeted the reporters with a smile.
Sun Xiaojian secretly reminded: “Laugh happily.”
Lu Wen raised the corners of his mouth hard, and collapsed after walking two or three meters. He really had no interest in pleasing people, so he made up for it in the old way: “There is a Starbucks next to me, please come later. Everyone drinks.” The
reporter threw out questions, and the closest one asked: “Did you meet Jin Yanyu for the first time in “Utopia”? Have you had any troubles before?”
Lu Wen said: “No.”
Seeing that he had no more text, another reporter asked: “Netizens call you a ‘face-slapper’, what do you think?”
Lu Wen thought for a while: “It was purely an accident.”
Reporter: “Who was the ring that caused the bloody storm given to? Is it easy to reveal?”
Lu Wen resumed his smile: “No comment, I’ll add another one for everyone. Let’s have a small cake.”
Reporter: “You have countless fans, and fans are very concerned about your love life. Are you currently single?”
One step away is the glass door of the terminal building, and the family car and driver are waiting outside. Lu Wen stopped and answered truthfully: “I really am.” Reporter
: “In the first issue of “Utopia”, your mansion is highly discussed. It is rumored that you are a rich second generation?”
The family was inevitably beaten. He joked: “I bought it with a loan, and my dad almost gave me a leg.”
When he walked out of the terminal, the driver Xiao Shao opened the car door and guarded Lu Wen’s back to prevent reporters from getting too close. The door was closed, the camera flashes and the noisy human voice were isolated, Lu Wen slumped on the seat and exhaled. Leaving
the airport, the driver asked: “Going home or…”
Lu Wen looked at his watch, it was almost noon, and ordered: “Go directly to the cemetery.”
When I was in the shop, I looked out the window and searched. Pulling over the car, he went into the street flower shop and bought a bunch of flowers.
Lu Wen doesn’t have much research on flowers, and there are special people to take care of the indoor and outdoor flower arrangements at home. Only on this day every year, he will go to the flower shop in person, pick a bunch of this and that, like a child who presents a treasure to his mother on her birthday.
On the road again, Lu Wen called Lu Zhanqing and got through. He said, “Dad, Xiao Shao has received me .
” I
‘m home, go directly to the cemetery.”
“Yes.”
Lu Wen weighed the fuselage in the palm of his hand. He had nothing to say, but he didn’t hang up. Lu Zhanqing was silent inside, and he didn’t mean to express his position.
After spending half a minute, he said, “It’s very cold today, so you should wear thicker clothes when you go out.”
“Okay.” Lu Zhanqing said, “Go.” The
call ended . , even called sympathy.
After Lu Wen was fifteen years old, Lu Zhanqing stopped taking him to the cemetery. Usually he goes in the morning, while Lu Zhanqing goes in the afternoon, and he will stay until dusk before leaving.
The reason why he traveled at the wrong peak was because Lu Wen was stubborn and talkative when he was young. He remembered Wen Jia’s grave for ten minutes and complained for half an hour. Lu Zhanqing could never do anything in front of his beloved wife’s tomb, and he endured quite hard every time.
However, as Lu Wen grew up, he gradually understood that Lu Zhanqing wanted to be alone with his mother for a while. He also knew that the death day of his mother who died in childbirth was his birthday. Lu Zhanqing was afraid that he would be sad, so he chose the fourth day of the first day to visit his wife’s grave.
Lu Wen was arranging his thoughts in a mess, the car drove into the cemetery, and the world seemed to become desolate and desolate.
Wenjia’s tomb is on a sloping lawn with towering and lush pine trees behind it. As a child, Lu Wen was fond of flipping through the safe at home, and there were some love letters in it, which were also correspondence between Lu Zhanqing and Wen Jia when he was in the Air Force. His mother once said in a letter that Lu Zhanqing is like a pine tree that can resist anything.
Lu Wen stood in front of the tomb for a while, put down the flowers, and walked towards a building behind the lawn. There is a separate memorial room on the first floor for Wen Jia’s tablet and posthumous photos. The second floor is like a showroom, which collects the items Wen Jia liked during his lifetime.
Lu Wen sat cross-legged on the soft cushion, propped his chin up and looked up at the photo of Wen Jia’s face, this feeling was amazing, he couldn’t tell, he could only stare intently.
“Mom, I’m here.”
“Happy birthday, you’re still as young as last year.”
“Old rules, my dad will come back in the afternoon.”
Lu Wen said casually, his hair was a little long, he licked his head back, raised his whole face and smiled at the photo: “My mother, your son, I finally turned red.”
“Mom, what are you doing? Am I happy? Anyway, I am pretty in my heart, at least your husband can’t look down on me any more.”
“Speaking of your husband, it is not easy for him, specifically why it is not easy for him to complain to you in the afternoon, I will not go into details. ”
Lu Wen suddenly shut his mouth, then wrinkled his nose childishly: “Mom…I have to tell you something.”
“I like men, I’m also surprised, but that’s how it is.” He couldn’t help touching Going into his pocket, he was still muttering, “But I didn’t get lost for too long, and I found the man I liked steadily.”
Lu Wen took out his wallet and said, “Mom, let me show you the person I like. .” He opened the
wallet with one hand and held it under the other, Lu Wen was like a salesman showing cosmetics: “His name is Qu Yanting, how is he, isn’t he handsome?”
Until his hands were sore, Lu Wen closed the wallet and gasped for breath. Said: “But I haven’t caught up yet.”
Hanging his head, Lu Wensa stared at the carpet: “Mom, I’ve never been very promising, so how do you say it, mother is expensive by the child, you are not good in heaven, right? To save face?”
“Let me tell you, I donated a salary in the name of Wenjia Foundation, which is a gift for you. I don’t bother to worry about the things of Huanlu, but I will take over the foundation in the future.”
“Don’t say that. Let my dad hear that I don’t want to die young.”
“Well…that’s all.”
Lu Wen got up from the mat, wrapped a scarf, and waved at Wenjia’s photo: “Mom, stay safe. Well, I can dream of something, let’s go.”
After leaving the cemetery, Lu Wen had no plans to go home, and asked the driver to take him to the Knowles Club. The club is a membership system, so don’t worry about being photographed by reporters.
Halfway through, the phone rang. It was a WeChat message from Lian Yiming, asking him if he wanted to come to Sophie for dinner. Then Gu Zhuoyan also sent a message, asking him to go play games at home. Su Wang was more straightforward, saying that he would accompany him to drink.
Lu Wen pushed them down one by one. He didn’t want to affect anyone during the happy Spring Festival.
The club is hidden in the low-key West End, with golf suites, a cigar salon and a library. Lu Wenbao’s name is easy to pass, but he is not in the mood to play, so he goes directly to the bar on the fourth floor.
The American-style decoration is complicated and heavy. Lu Wen picked a bar seat, flicked his tongue at the bartender, and ordered a glass of cherry vodka first.
In Linxieyuan Community, Qu Yanting was cleaning in the study. The computer was on. When he woke up in the morning, he wanted to write a script, but he couldn’t calm down, so he did a house cleaning.
There was a tin biscuit box in the drawer, which was used for storing business cards. Qu Yanting put the note with the number left by Du Changhan in it and put it on the shelf for the time being.
After finishing everything, Qu Yanting took a bath and dropped the curtains in the living room to watch a movie. An epic war movie of amazing length, with a frosty tone that rivals the cooler weather.
Qu Yanting seemed to be attentive, but in fact he lost his mind a thousand and eighty times. A conversation between a soldier and the colonel didn’t pay attention to what he was talking about from beginning to end. Just quietly remember, what time is Lu Wen’s flight, whether he has come back, and whether he has been to the cemetery.
He picked up and put down the phone repeatedly, unable to guess the other person’s mood, fearing that his concern would turn into a disturbance.
Qu Yanting’s nest was worrying about gains and losses on the sofa. It turned out that because of an invisible and intangible concern, no matter how decisive people were, they would be tortured into indecision. Besides, he was cowardly.
The film gradually came to an end, it was getting dark, and the tragic climax was over. Qu Yanting pressed the power button of the remote control in the sad background music.
The living room was dark, and the phone screen was extra bright.
Caller ID “Lu Wen”.
Qu Yanting’s heartbeat quickened like he was stressed, as if the words of yesterday evening had stopped in his ears, he picked it up and called softly, “Lu Wen?”
“Qu, Mr. Qu…”
Clearly drunk, Qu Yanting asked, “Have you been drinking?”
“Yes, I drink from day to night…” Lu Wen sang, “You will never understand me. Sadness…it’s like the day does not understand the darkness of the night…”
Qu Yanting got up and went into the bedroom: “Lu Wen, where are you? Answer me… Stop singing!”
Lu Wen said aggrievedly, “How fierce are you!”
“Okay… I was wrong.” Qu Yanting’s heartbeat turned to tired, “Good, tell the teacher, are you at home?” Lu Wen vigilantly asked
: “Why? Home visit?”
With a bang, it is estimated that Lu Wen dropped the phone. There was a messy movement, and a stranger’s question came: “Hello, are you Mr. Lu’s friend?”
Qu Yanting learned about the situation from the waiter and asked, “Help me take care of him, I’ll pick him up as soon as possible.”
After hanging up the line, Qu Yanting hurriedly changed his clothes and went out. The road for the Spring Festival was empty. He lingered in front of the speeding line all the way and rushed to the Knowles Club at full speed.
On the fourth floor, the elevator went straight to the bar, Qu Yanting walked out quickly, and caught Lu Wen’s figure in the dim light.
On the bar table, Lu Wen was lying there with his palms on the back of his neck, and there was a row of wine glasses in front of him who couldn’t remember which round it was. Qu Yanting ran over, grabbed Lu Wen’s shoulder through the soft down jacket, and called the other party’s name.
Lu Wen raised his head, his pupils glanced out of focus, and after a while, he recognized Qu Yanting and hugged it with his arms.
In the crowd, Qu Yanting pushed and supported halfway: “You let go…”
“I don’t.”
“You let go first.”
“You say something to bother me…I’ll let go right away.”
Qu Yanting choked up, trying to ignore the gazes around, grabbing Lu Wen’s waist and walking out. The 1.88-meter body was pressing on his side, so heavy that he was sweating a few minutes after reaching the parking lot.
Qu Yanting stuffed Lu Wen into the trunk, fastened his seat belt, and couldn’t help looking at the rearview mirror when he started the engine. Lu Wen, the protagonist of the Qingyan Banquet, can grasp the proportions, but today he was very drunk. Qu Yanting said that he was not distressed.
Driving onto the road, Lu Wen hummed: “Master, you don’t need to read the meter.”
Qu Yanting said: “Okay, where are you going?”
Lu Wen leaned back on the seat: “Of course it’s going home so late!”
Qu Yanting asked: ” Where do you live?”
Lu Wen replied, “A broken community, Linxie Garden.”
“…” Qu Yanting couldn’t cooperate any longer, “That’s my home.”
“I’ll go there.” Lu Wen leaned over the seat, Being caught by the seat belt, “I’m looking for someone, someone surnamed Qu!” Qu
Yanting felt drunk: “Why are you looking for him?”
Lu Wen looked stubborn: “No… Do you have any comments?”
Qu Yanting lowered the car window, and the cold wind roared in, blowing away most of the smoky alcohol. When he got to Linxie Garden, he helped Lu Wen out of the car, and suddenly understood that “repay a tat”, maybe it was the debt he owed last time when he was drunk.
When he entered the house, Lu Wen planted himself on the sofa in disbelief, and Commander Huang meowed in annoyance, jumped onto the coffee table and walked around.
Qu Yanting went to soak the honey water. The first time he soaked it, the honey was too thick. Lu Wen turned his head when he smelled Wen Wen, pretended to be vomiting, and said, “Why do you give me swill!”
Qu Yanting was afraid that the bastard would vomit in the living room, so he helped him to go to the bathroom, lifted the toilet lid, stroked his back with his palm, and asked: “Do you want to vomit?”
Lu Wen said drunkenly: “Why do you want to vomit? If you spit it out, you will drink it for nothing?”
Qu Yanting patiently said, “Then do you want to pee?”
Lu Wen annoyed: “It’s either vomiting or peeing. Oh my god, you… make me sick.”
Qu Yanting was smoky from the smell of wine: “I just feel sick!”
“Why do you feel sick…” Lu Wen Squinting her red eyelids, “You’re pregnant?”
Qu Yanting’s mentality collapsed, and Lu Wen flicked his hand away, seemingly for convenience. He stepped back and turned around, and said tiredly, “Piss, hurry up.” There were scattered steps behind him, and Qu Yanting
worried: “Can you stand still?”
The sound was full of strength, and there was a rustling sound. Qu Yanting was so frightened that he couldn’t help but say, “How long did you hold it back?”
Twenty seconds passed, and the sound of the water did not diminish. Qu Yanting thought with admiration, what grade of kidney.
After nearly a minute, Qu Yanting couldn’t bear to turn his head back. There was no one in front of the toilet. In the shower room by the wall, Lu Wen was standing under the shower, soaked from head to toe.
The door was not closed, and the hot water splashed out. Qu Yanting stepped over, and his face was wet without pausing for half a step. He walked up to Lu Wen, raised his head slightly, and after deliberation for a long time only said one innocuous sentence: “Be careful of slipping.”
With his shoulders sinking, Lu Wen held his shoulders with wet hands, sliding down his palms against the clothes. Passing his forearm, he grabbed both sides of his waist with a flash.
Lu Wen’s eyes became more and more cloudy in the water vapor, and he couldn’t be sure whether he woke up from the shower or was more drunk. He pinched Qu Yanting’s waist and said under the spray of water, “Mr. Qu, the deadline is up.”
He didn’t mention a word about what he did during the tomb sweeping, he didn’t want sympathy, he just wanted love.
Qu Yanting’s clothes were slowly soaking wet, like a handful of snow slowly melting.
A star-like image flashed in the hustle and bustle, the corridor on the 62nd floor, the RV deck in the afternoon, the paper stuffed into the doorway, the ward, the windbreaker with the remaining body temperature, the swimming pool, the sweet persimmon, the notes on the takeaway box, and guarding the door of the bathroom the back of…
Arrived at the club parking lot an hour ago, turned off the fire, and Qu Yanting paused for a moment in the driver’s seat alone.
He finally opened the unread article from yesterday, and the unlucky little singer replied –
you can be brave for him, why not work hard for yourself.
When the hot water met his face, Qu Yanting’s face was red and his eyes were red. He wrapped his arms around Lu Wen’s neck and said slowly, “Don’t get drunk today next year, then you won’t be sad again.”
Lu Wen said hoarsely. Asked: “Why?”
Qu Yanting answered reverently: “Because you have me.” In the
white mist, Lu Wen didn’t have time to close his eyes, like a dream, his lips were kissed by Qu Yanting.
