Suddenly, he heard the happy birthday song. Fang Juexia turned around and saw Pei Tingsong holding a plate with one hand and blocking the wind with his right palm.
Fang Juexia laughed, but there were still tears in his eyes. He felt that he was too funny. He didn't know why, but he didn't like to cry in the past.
Pei Tingsong finished singing the last line and put the plate on the table. There was a bowl of longevity noodles and a small cupcake made of red velvet strawberry cream. There was a small candle in it, and the flame flickered in the wind.
"I baked this cake. It's my first time making it. The big cake really made me mad, so I could only make cupcakes. But this is the only good-looking cake in the big plate, so you can't dislike it." After saying that, Pei Tingsong pointed to the bowl of noodles. "This bowl of noodles too. You can eat as much as you want. It's a happy occasion anyway."
Fang Juexia couldn't help but laugh.
What he said didn't sound like a person who studied philosophy at all.
When did he cook the noodles? Could it be when he was in the room?
He really put in a lot of effort.
"Hurry up and eat. It'll be even worse if it gets lumpy." Pei Tingsong picked up the chopsticks and handed it to Fang Juexia. Unexpectedly, Fang Juexia hugged him.
"Thank you." He heard Fang Juexia say softly.
His neck was cold. It was probably his tears. Pei Tingsong's heart suddenly wrinkled, as if it was being squeezed by something.
He wasn't a gentle person, but when he met Fang Juexia, he couldn't wait to give him the whole world. Even if he knew that he was crying because he was happy, he still couldn't bear to.
"You don't have to do any emotional management in front of me. Cry if you want to cry, laugh if you want to." Pei Tingsong patted his back. "But when you cry, my heart will still ache a little."
Fang Juexia nodded, sniffling and thanking him again.
"Don't say thank you to me." Pei Tingsong said.
Fang Juexia, who was buried in his neck, kissed the side of his neck. "I love you."
There was nothing he could do.
His cake was indeed average, and the noodles were bland, but Fang Juexia ate them with relish.
Hearing him complain that his waist was sore, Pei Tingsong rubbed his waist and watched him eat. "You're so hungry? I still have a bunch of cakes. Shall I get you two more? "
However, Fang Juexia said, "This is my first time eating such a small birthday cake. I can finish it in one bite."
Pei Tingsong felt more and more that he had spoiled Fang Juexia's temper. "You're still not satisfied, right? If you're not satisfied, next time I'll …"
Fang Juexia looked up. "What about next time? You won't cook for me anymore? "
Pei Tingsong laughed and reached out to wipe the cream off the corner of his mouth. "I'll make a big one next time. A super big one, okay, Big Brother?"
Fang Juexia nodded in satisfaction. Before his teammates came back, he secretly kissed him again.
They watched the video together again. Fang Juexia kept pausing the video, asking where it was taken, who took the video, what happened at the time, and why he was laughing so happily. He asked these questions tirelessly, and Pei Tingsong answered him tirelessly.
It was as if Fang Juexia was really involved in Pei Tingsong's past.
This was the best present he had ever received.
After being with Pei Tingsong, he felt like he had returned to his childhood, when he was very easily satisfied. Life wasn't just about the pressure of being chased and the fear of being alone. It wasn't about mechanical practice day after day, and it wasn't about avoiding risks and mistakes.
He was no longer the person who gritted his teeth and charged forward blindly in the dark. Someone held his hand so that he could enjoy the moment, instead of being held back by time.
Humans weren't plants.
Fang Juexia wasn't a withered branch either.
In the end, he had to revive and bloom for the sake of spring.
July was green, and the biggest winner of July was "Green Waves". The two main actors had gained popularity because of their roles in the drama. # GreenWilds Finale # became a hot search.
In the last episode, when the female lead found the diary buried under the jacaranda tree, she learned that she was a "perfect friend" imagined after a mental breakdown. Her memories were rewound, and her silent and deep love for the male lead drowned her like a wave. When she woke up again, she found herself lying on a hospital bed. She had been reborn to the time before she committed suicide. She thought that everything was just a dream, but the male lead came to visit her with the jacaranda tree and called the name of the illusory female lead, not her original name when she committed suicide. The female lead finally shed tears.
Everything they had experienced wasn't forgotten, and the ending came to an abrupt end.
The two climaxes of the last episode also had "Night Travel" as the background music. Especially at the end when the ward recognized each other, coupled with the superb acting skills of the protagonists, the effect was extraordinary.
After the ending, there was a lot of heated discussion on the Internet. "Night Travel" also became a hot search again and was regarded as a divine song.
[Reyoung: When the prelude to the night travel came out at the end, my tears fell directly. This wasn't a dream. Everything you experienced was real.]
[Orange and Banana: The part where the diary was dug gave me goosebumps. It was too strong. "Night Travel" always has a famous scene. It's really amazing.]
[Real Name Anli Green Waves: FJX's cold voice was too infectious. It was full of youthful regrets. When I heard the lyrics "summer is so long" and the male lead finally said, "You said that you would accompany me to see the sea again before summer ends. Do you still want to go?" I directly burst into tears.]
When the crew of "Green Waves" went on the variety show, they specially invited Fang Juexia. However, Fang Juexia couldn't be there because of a scheduling conflict, so he and the other main composer of the song, Pei Tingsong, recorded a video and played it on the big screen during the show's recording.
The two appeared in the same frame, which made the scene explode. The screams almost drowned out the host's voice. Their popularity was obvious.
However, Fang Juexia, who watched the show, found out that the scriptwriter of "Green Waves" was Xu, the scriptwriter of "Escape". This was really an unexpected surprise.
With a divine song like "Night Travel", Fang Juexia and Pei Tingsong smoothly became the new comers in the music industry. They were the two aces of a popular boy group, and with the popular variety show "Escape", their popularity was now at the top level among young male artists. Countless brands extended an olive branch to them, and many music shows also invited them.
However, Fang Juexia always believed that the success this time was mostly due to luck. Therefore, he refused a lot of commercial activities and focused on learning composition. He also went to the United States several times to study with Pei Tingsong.
Although Kaledo's summer album "Last Summer" did not participate in the recording of the singing stage, because of the crushing sound source data and the super high album, it also got one place seven times without live voting. Two albums in a row in half a year, in the scope of the boy group, could almost be called a miracle.
He Ziyan joined the group, Ling Yi participated in a new music competition program, and Lu Yuan has been a mentor in the hip-hop program. Every member's personal activities were like the sun at high noon. The dormitory, which used to be crowded, was now empty.
Summer seemed to be the season of harvest for Kaledo. Perhaps because of this, time passed faster. Busy people always don't feel the passage of time. One day, they found that the summer heat had receded, and the air was cool when it touched their arms. Only then did they know that it was autumn.
After systematically learning composition, Fang Juexia also made rapid progress. He already had a lot of good demos on hand. He became more and more proficient in music composition and began to enjoy the fun of playing music. Sometimes, Fang Juexia could stay in his small studio with Pei Tingsong for a whole day.
Originally, everything was developing in a good direction, but unexpectedly, Zhai Ying, who recorded "Escape" with him, was deeply involved in negative news. First, there were rumors about her background, and then there were unconfirmed rumors about her sexual orientation. Originally, the girl group she was in had been unable to return for a long time. There were many rumors about her return, but they were shattered again and again. There were already a lot of speculations among the fans. Now that there was negative news, it affected the perception of passers-by.
But after recording so many episodes, they had become very good friends. Fang Juexia was very clear about Zhai Ying's character. It was just that few people on the Internet were independent thinkers. Most of them were just eating melons and following the trend. It didn't matter whether the matter was true or not. As long as they could vent their emotions, they would feel that they had benefited.
After a few days, the rumors had developed to the point that "Zhai Ying withdrew from" Escape ". Previously, Zhai Ying didn't say anything about the rumors for such a long time. But this time, she posted on Weibo with a photo. It was a photo of her and the door at the final exit after the recording of the first episode. Many people guessed that this meant that she wouldn't withdraw from the show.
This Weibo post was told to Fang Juexia by Pei Tingsong.
At that moment, he didn't know whether it was because of his friendship with Zhai Ying or because he remembered Li Luo's kindness to him, but he actually had the idea of standing up for Zhai Ying. This might not be a big deal for many people, but for Fang Juexia, who had left the Internet because of cyber-violence, it was something he would almost never do in the past.
But he still did it.
Fang Juexia took the initiative to log into his account and reposted Zhai Ying's Weibo.
[Eido Fang Juexia: The scariest thing in the world – the door to escape. (Please bring me along for the next photo)]
He was the first person in the industry to repost the Weibo post. He didn't even tell Zhai Ying beforehand. After him, Pei Tingsong also reposted Fang Juexia's Weibo post.
[Eido Pei Tingsong: And me. By the way, I refute the right. The scariest thing is the "brute force" on the right.//Eido Fang Juexia: The scariest thing in the world – the door to escape. (Please bring me along for the next photo)]
After discovering that his Weibo post had been reposted, Zhai Ying immediately sent Fang Juexia a WeChat message, saying that he didn't have to participate.
Fang Juexia only replied that it was necessary.
After them, the entire crew of "Escape" reposted Zhai Ying's Weibo post one after another. In the end, even the scriptwriter, Xu Qichen, appeared.
[Xu Qichen: I'm happy. It turns out that the scariest thing in your hearts is not me.]
Just like that, the reason for the show's withdrawal collapsed. The spirit of the "Escape" crew was also praised by many people.
When his teammates found out about this, they joked that Fang Juexia was becoming more and more like Pei Tingsong.
However, Pei Tingsong knew that Fang Juexia had other considerations when he did this. After all, he wasn't an impulsive person.
There was nothing new under the sun. In the entertainment industry, there were endless melons and scandals every day. However, Fang Juexia didn't expect that this time, it would fall on his teammate, He Ziyan's head. The day the news broke happened to be the day He Ziyan returned to Beijing from filming.
They were celebrating He Ziyan's filming in the restaurant and eating happily. Cheng Qiang went out to answer a phone call. Only then did everyone know about what had happened on the Internet.
The rumors on the Internet about He Ziyan's family background spread from the anonymous section to the real section. The origin was already untraceable. They claimed that his mother was a public servant who embezzled money and worked in the public security system. That was why his previous netizens couldn't dig up his family background because there was someone behind him.
They said that he didn't have a good relationship with his family. When he was young, he was very rebellious, fought, and caused trouble. He even dropped out of school because of his family's bad relationship. He ran away from home and finally came to the entertainment industry.
In between the lines, they constantly emphasized that He Ziyan's family background was tainted. The words were vague and groundless. The paid Internet Water Army also magnified the point of corruption and stirred up malicious public opinion.
"What kind of nonsense is this? It's baseless. " Lu Yuan was so angry that she threw her chopsticks. "People believe this kind of thing without even a picture. Can't they just say that they know someone's friend and that person's friend?"
Pei Tingsong saw the news and thought it was ridiculous. "People believe everything you say."
Fang Juexia felt that the other party was vicious. They didn't spread the rumor earlier or later, but just after He Ziyan finished filming.
Ling Yi was furious. "Don't tell me it's Astar again."
Due to the previous leak of the song and the repeated conflicts, Astar was the person they were most afraid of.
Fang Juexia, who had an old feud with Astar, shook his head. "I don't think so. The timing is very strange. Ziyan's popularity has been high recently, but it was at its peak when the official announcement was made. At that time, they didn't release the rumor, nor did they release it when the drama was about to air. Instead, they deliberately waited until the drama finished filming before releasing the rumor … "
As he spoke, he looked at He Ziyan. "The purpose I can think of is probably to stigmatize the actor. After all, the rumor this time is very sensitive and special. It's easy for it to go out of the industry. It's also very likely that netizens who don't know the truth will follow the trend and boycott it. If it really gets to that point, the production company may replace Ziyan in order to protect the drama. However, public opinion will still greatly hurt the ratings of the drama. If they protect Ziyan, the drama will basically be scrapped. "
Pei Tingsong nodded. "Once the accusation is established, there's no other way. It will be a lose-lose situation for both the actor and the production company. So, if you want to talk about the source of the rumor, in my opinion, it's probably someone who has the capital to compete with the production company. "
This analysis sent chills down everyone's spines.
Cheng Qiang's mind worked quickly. He contacted several reliable public relations people in the industry, but he also felt quite uncomfortable. They had to use public relations methods to deal with groundless rumors.
At the dinner table, He Ziyan, who had not spoken from beginning to end, suddenly laughed. "This method is really ruthless."
He was right. It was indeed ruthless. Fang Juexia thought that ordinary netizens would not be able to find out the truth about corruption. The sensitive nature of the matter made it easy to spread rumors on the Internet. If they could not find out the truth, they would just blame it on the sensitive nature of the matter.
In addition, many people were curious about He Ziyan's background. He never mentioned his parents, and he had experienced many things. He used to be mysterious. Now that his big backer, "mother," had fallen, everything was exposed to the world. It was very logical. These coincidences were also very suitable for the script of the rumor monger.
In fact, the members did not know about He Ziyan's family. Although they were close, they still left boundaries for each other. Everyone had the right to keep secrets, but sometimes asking was a form of concern.
But at this time, Fang Juexia couldn't help but think that no matter what kind of family environment He Ziyan had, unless he had a background like Pei Tingsong's, he could hardly think of a way to deal with this kind of rumor peacefully.
Because if he simply mentioned his family, and then his parents and family were involved, there would be people who would not believe it.
"However, this matter can be considered to have slipped up."
He Ziyan suddenly spoke, which made everyone a little confused.
Fang Juexia looked up at him and saw him pick up the glass, tilt his head back, and take a sip of wine. Then he smiled very frankly. "Don't worry, everyone. I have a way to clarify this matter."
He spoke so confidently that Fang Juexia felt even more strange. Although he didn't know about He Ziyan's family, after being together for so long, he could more or less feel that He Ziyan's family was indifferent. Maybe he was like him, or maybe he was like Pei Tingsong, who had almost no contact with his family.
Fang Juexia couldn't help but say, "Ziyan, wait a minute. If you clarify, your family …"
"I don't have a family," He Ziyan said with a smile. "I'm an orphan."
Everyone in the private room was stunned by his words.
It was impossible to say that they didn't secretly guess that his teammates didn't talk about family matters. But no one thought that it would be like this.
He casually said that he didn't have a family to help him choose. It wasn't that his family was indifferent, but that he really didn't have a family.
There were probably similarities. Jiang Miao, whose parents died early, looked at him with a complicated expression.
Ling Yi couldn't help but say, "Huo Ge, then in the past you …"
He Ziyan's expression was relaxed as usual, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. "I used to grow up in a welfare home. Actually, it was an orphanage. I've been there for as long as I can remember. I didn't have a father or a mother. There were only the aunties and the director of the welfare home. In fact, it was very good at the beginning. We could still go to school in the welfare home, and there were young volunteers teaching us. If someone adopted us, we could leave. But I couldn't bear to leave the director, so I never left.
"Later, the director fell ill, and the welfare home couldn't make the cash flow, so it closed down. I was 14 years old at the time, and I was adopted by a family. But because that family's father often beat me, I ran away."
Fang Juexia couldn't imagine his life at the time. He had no parents, the welfare home he relied on for survival disappeared, and he was abused by his adoptive father. In the end, he had no choice but to run away and live alone early on.
Lu Yuan sat next to He Ziyan. He grabbed He Ziyan's shoulder, but didn't say anything.
He Ziyan's fingers gently and slowly drew circles on the table. His eyes were downcast, but his voice was still very calm. "Later, I secretly worked in restaurants and bars. I liked music, so I earned money every day to buy the instruments I wanted. Sometimes, I could sing in bars for a week, singing all night."
After he finished speaking, he looked up and smiled. "It's been too long. If you ask me to recall now, there are many things that I really can't remember."
Seeing the smile on his face, Fang Juexia's heart ached. He Ziyan, who was always joking around, could actually smile like this.
"It's all in the past." Cheng Qiang recalled that when he first poached him to join the company, He Ziyan didn't ask if he could debut. He only asked if the company would arrange for him to take vocal music and arrangement classes.
Cheng Qiang said yes, and he came.
"Yes, it's all in the past. Don't worry." He Ziyan raised his eyebrows. "Fortunately, I couldn't bear to part with it, so I kept the welfare home's certificate. These can all be used as proof of my innocence. Yes, they took advantage of the fact that it was difficult to prove my innocence. They thought that no matter what family I came from, as long as I didn't have a strong background, it would be difficult to get out of this mess. But I'm really sorry. "
He Ziyan smiled. "I really don't have a family."
