TL: Hua

Ma Weiye’s whereabouts have been unsure. Though he mentioned he got here to the crew to take footage, he was usually there for a number of days after which not for a number of days.

He initially solely took footage for style magazines and didn’t settle for non-public commissions. It’s mentioned that this time Wang Mingge personally invited him, so nobody actually cared even when he was absent.

He was not there when the wrap-up picture was taken right this moment. Everybody thought he had completed work early and didn’t come. Unexpectedly, he got here once more after the wrap-up occasion was over right this moment.

Ma Weiye wore a free sweater and a baseball cap on his head. He mentioned whereas chewing gum, “I’ve to go to the airport too; can I provide you with a trip?”

Qi Xiaoyu was anxious, but it surely was not proven on his face right now.

He by no means appreciated Ma Weiye, though the opposite had not completed something bizarre prior to now two months.

He smiled barely, and even his shoulders relaxed and slumped, “Thanks; I known as a automotive.”

Ma Weiye checked out him with a teasing gaze that swept from Qi Xiaoyu’s face to his fingertips.

Qi Xiaoyu wore a white-printed T-shirt, a pair of denims, and a free black and white knitted sweater outdoors. He eliminated his make-up right this moment with no decorations on his face. He seemed like a brilliant and clear youth, however when standing so casually, he had a form of coldness and alienation that stored individuals away from him.

That is actually attention-grabbing.

This complicated and contradictory temperament is kind of fascinating.

When he met Qi Xiaoyu for the primary time, Ma Weiye discovered that this Qi Xiaoyu was not the identical individual as the unique Qi Xiaoyu.

Ma Weiye smiled crookedly, wanting nonchalant. “It’s exhausting to get a taxi right here at evening.”

“Xiaoyu, I heard from Brother Wang that it’s not simple to get a taxi right here; in any other case…” Li Kun pressed his temple and adopted him out of the KTV, wanting drunk and having a headache. “Brother Xiaowei, why are you right here? Are you… going to the airport?”

After saying that, he checked out Ma Weiye after which at Qi Xiaoyu.

Qi Xiaoyu didn’t say something, nor was he embarrassed. He even smiled at Ma Weiye overtly, as if to say, I simply don’t respect your kindness. What are you able to do to me?

Ma Weiye lowered the brim of his hat, smiled, flicked his fingers on the automotive door a number of occasions casually, then seemed up and mentioned to Qi Xiaoyu, “Talking of which, we had an excellent relationship earlier than. Why are you performing so unfamiliar with me once we meet once more now?”

The which means of this sentence is…

Qi Xiaoyu’s eyes darkened.

He was positive that there was no Ma Weiye within the authentic novel; in any other case, he would have some impression of him, however the quantity of knowledge this individual knew was clearly a bit an excessive amount of.

Because the first time they met, he felt that there was one thing flawed with this individual, however he couldn’t inform what the issue was.

Now that Ma Weiye mentioned this, his thoughts was a bit of clearer.

However what precisely does Ma Weiye need to do?

Is that this a personality that exists within the authentic novel however shouldn’t be talked about, or a newly added character, or… Ma Weiye shouldn’t be his actual identify. It’s regular for him to provide himself a special id when he is aware of a lot about what’s happening.

Qi Xiaoyu had all types of doubts in his thoughts, however his face shortly calmed down, and he even naturally went round to the opposite facet and opened the passenger door to get in. “Then I’ll bother you.”

Ma Weiye smiled, waved to Li Kun outdoors the automotive window, then stepped on the accelerator, and the automotive flew out alongside the quiet avenue.

Within the movie and tv metropolis late at evening, apart from one or two crews working additional time within the distance, different locations have been silent.

The automotive was very quiet, and nobody spoke first.

Ma Weiye didn’t transfer till he handed an extended pink mild intersection. He stretched out his hand, took out one thing like a medication bottle from the storage compartment, and threw it to Qi Xiaoyu. “Spray, for sprains.”

Qi Xiaoyu additionally didn’t attempt to be pretentious. He picked up the white spray bottle and browse the directions on the again. It was certainly for sprains, so he eliminated the cap and sprayed a number of occasions on the place the place he sprained two days in the past.

Ma Weiye glanced at Qi Xiaoyu’s motion by peripheral imaginative and prescient, and he pressured a smile once more. “I heard that you simply invested in “Mangchuan Luan”?”

Qi Xiaoyu rubbed his wrist slowly and responded very casually, “Yeah.”

He was affected person and under no circumstances anxious.

Because it was Ma Weiye who got here to him, the opposite occasion had a objective in thoughts and needs to be extra anxious than him.

Ma Weiye smiled once more. In his peripheral imaginative and prescient, Qi Xiaoyu’s eyelids drooped barely, with none panic, which made him really feel extra .

“You will have good eyesight. This film will likely be a success.”

“Actually? Simply make investments and see.”

Ma Weiye, “Though you’re a skilled actor, what’s the purpose of performing in entrance of me?”

Qi Xiaoyu curled the corners of his mouth and mentioned nothing.

“It ought to really feel good to be an enormous star.”

“Not dangerous.”

“After all it’s good. Cash, fame, and standing—which one shouldn’t be higher than a person?”

Qi Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow and didn’t remark.

Ma Weiye’s look, quite the opposite, suppressed the eagerness and need to return to the Xun household that he had felt on the very starting.

He had by no means thought that he would encounter such a plot earlier than.

Ma Weiye turned the steering wheel to the left and turned a nook.

“Primarily based on my observations throughout this era, I believe we needs to be the identical form of individuals. Don’t you need to change your ending?”

Qi Xiaoyu seemed up at him. What ought to he say? Ma Weiye is kind of good at guessing individuals’s hearts.

After all he… desires to vary his personal ending. Who desires to finish up in a depressing scenario?

Nevertheless, if this was mentioned to him a number of months in the past, it will be extra convincing.

Ma Weiye raised his lips and seemed ahead. “Some persons are unreliable… Why not cooperate with me? I may give you every part you need. I could make you extra well-known; I may help you do away with these individuals you hate… In the event you cooperate with me, I assure you a special ending.”

Qi Xiaoyu retracted his gaze and seemed ahead. He spoke slowly, and his voice even carried a little bit of honest humility. “Thanks to your kindness.”

Ma Weiye laughed out loud when he heard this: “If Qi Xiaoyu prior to now was as good as you, I may need been tempted a very long time in the past.”

“Actually?” Qi Xiaoyu responded casually once more.

A nook of the airport has appeared on the intersection forward.

Ma Weiye parked the automotive on the door of the departure ground. “Let’s be in contact? Don’t refuse so shortly. You will have me for one thing.”

Qi Xiaoyu had his fingers in his pockets and didn’t make a press release.

Ma Weiye stretched out a hand and leaned on the automotive window. “I believe you need to be within the film “The Departed”.

Seeing that Qi Xiaoyu didn’t reply, he added, “Tang Yuning will come to take part. Aren’t you interested in him? He’s your future rival in love.” After that, he took out his cell phone and mentioned, “I’ll ship the director’s WeChat to your assistant. See you then.”

Qi Xiaoyu was initially hesitating about these emotions that had simply emerged, like flower buds that have been about to bloom within the wind and rain.

He was additionally fearful and anxious about Xun Qian.

Nevertheless, Ma Weiye’s sudden look and Tang Yuning’s upcoming look have calmed all of the restlessness without delay.

Just one factor stays.

He thinks Xun Qian wants him.

Though Ma Weiye didn’t point out the rest besides that he wished to cooperate with him, on this story, if he desires to rewrite something, it should most probably be directed towards Xun Qian.

Ma Weiye was proper. He was keen to vary the ending of the character “Qi Xiaoyu,”  however now… he additionally wished to barely change Xun Qian’s story line.

Qi Xiaoyu took a deep breath and walked shortly in the direction of the safety checkpoint.

It had simply rained in S Metropolis.

The rain washed away the noise of town, leaving a recent and clear feeling.

At daybreak in early April, the air was stuffed with the perfume of rain and grass.

The taxi drove all the way in which to the western suburbs.

On the street, the flowers have been coated with morning dew.

The early birds chirped crisply.

The taxi driver checked out Qi Xiaoyu a number of occasions within the rearview mirror, and at last couldn’t assist asking, “Are you the star within the TV collection?”

Qi Xiaoyu hooked the masks below his chin along with his fingers and nodded with a smile. He thought the motive force was speaking about “The Legend of the Tang Dynasty Empress,”  which was lately broadcast in prime time on two satellite tv for pc TV stations.

“You will have stunning eyes. I acknowledged you at a look, even while you’re carrying a masks.”

The taxi driver laughed, “I simply noticed the TV collection you acted in final evening. Your performing was so good that I believed you had the identical persona as that little prince, however I didn’t count on you to be so quiet. You even took a taxi while you went out. Aren’t celebrities all tremendous wealthy?”

Qi Xiaoyu wished to say thanks for the praise, however when he heard the final sentence, he didn’t know find out how to reply for some time. He simply invested his 7 million financial savings, so he was fairly poor.

Fortuitously, the taxi driver didn’t give him time to reply and began speaking on his personal, “My daughter likes you too. I noticed you on her telephone display. Are you able to let me take an image later?”

Qi Xiaoyu hadn’t been house for greater than two months. He was a bit of timid as a result of he was near house. Now there was a driver speaking all the way in which, which distracted him loads.

The taxi drove all the way in which into the high-end villa space within the western suburbs.

It was simply six o’clock, and nobody had gotten up but.

Qi Xiaoyu didn’t disturb anybody. He opened the door and went upstairs by himself, heading on to Xun Qian’s room.

He noticed Xun Qian’s bed room with a light-weight on as quickly as he was downstairs.

Simply as he pushed open the door, he noticed a black shadow darting out.

White-browed Hero was so excited that it whimpered softly, and its two claws frantically scratched Qi Xiaoyu.

Qi Xiaoyu shortly picked it up, rubbed its chin, let it kiss him, and coaxed it to maintain quiet.

Xun Qian fell asleep within the wheelchair.

It had been virtually two months since he final noticed him, and Xun Qian had misplaced plenty of weight.

Maybe it’s not that he misplaced weight, however he had all the time been like this, with a face as small as a palm, and even for those who took a digicam to seize him from a lifeless angle, it will nonetheless be sharp with none additional flesh.

However Qi Xiaoyu’s present temper made him really feel that Xun Qian had misplaced weight.

He stood there, not figuring out what he was going to do. He didn’t need to get up Xun Qian, nor did he need to simply depart.

A combination of pity, longing, dependence, and fear surged in his coronary heart, and he himself couldn’t determine which emotion was dominant.

Lastly, his eyes fell on the scattered paperwork on Xun Qian’s desk.

He considered the decline in Wanhai Actual Property’s inventory value and the ill-intentioned Ma Weiye.

With the quantity of knowledge in Ma Weiye’s fingers, it will not be too tough to do one thing unfavorable to Xun Qian, comparable to now…

He thought Xun Qian should have plenty of troubles in his coronary heart.

There was nobody to assist him, and nobody for him to depend on.

When Xun Qian awakened, he heard the barking of their canine within the yard and the laughter of Butler Cheng.

All of the sounds, combined with the April sunshine, drifted in from the window.

He rubbed his temples. Lack of sleep gave him a headache and chest tightness.

There was a thermos cup on the desk, and he introduced it over. The water in it was nonetheless heat, neither scorching nor chilly, simply the suitable temperature.

He took a number of sips, and his throat felt a lot better. Then he pushed his wheelchair to the window.

On the garden below the window, Qi Xiaoyu was enjoying with the little black canine. He threw the ball, and the little black canine dashed out to select it up.

The little black canine had grown a bit of larger, with shiny fur and a robust physique. When it ran, it appeared that the entire garden was stuffed with its scurrying shadow.

Qi Xiaoyu wore a set of gray-striped silk pajamas and squatted on the garden to wave on the little black canine. He seemed as relaxed as when he was consuming tea right here for the primary time.

Xun Qian seemed for some time, and downstairs, Qi Xiaoyu seemed up as if he had telepathy and waved at him, “Are you awake? Why don’t you come down for breakfast?”

He mentioned, “Come down shortly; I made an appointment with Dr. Track. Let’s go to the hospital right this moment after breakfast, we could?”
