It was almost five years ago.
Although Ren Xuanyu wasn't a newcomer at that time, he was still lingering in the walk-on area.
There was a young director named Tian Jing who had a good eye for talent. He found him and gave him the male lead.
That movie was called 24 Nights, and it had a good reputation.
He was highly regarded by his peers.
Since then,
Ren Xuanyu finally got rid of his minor role and started his acting career.
The second male lead of "24 Nights" was Rong Yu.
Ren Xuanyu didn't really like this person. He felt that Rong Yu wasn't smart.
But he loved to pretend to be clever.
Just like in a lot of comedy movies,
Idiot handsome guy with hair gel all over. He had once heard,
On the night of the audition, Rong Yu went to Tian Jing to ask for some unspoken rules.
Based on Ren Xuanyu's observation of that humble young director, it should not have been a success.
Not long after, Tian Jing and his lover became semi-public in the industry.
It seemed that Rong Yu would not have any scenes.
Five years passed in the blink of an eye.
Ren Xuanyu met this person again in a reality show.
He realized that not only did the other party not improve,
Instead, he became even more of an idiot.
Probably because he was friends with Ren Xuanyu, Rong Yu was the first to greet Ren Xuanyu as soon as they arrived at the hotel.
The PD was filming, and Ren Xuanyu maintained his courtesy.
Coupled with their interactions on the show, everyone, including the staff and fans of the show, thought that he was friends with Rong Yu. Even Rong Yu himself thought so.
Hence, this scene appeared.
"They're all from the main realms. Tell me, why are these investors so lacking in professional ethics? He's always threatening me with resources. How has my popularity improved in the past two years with him? It's all because he wants to manage everything and drag me down. F * ck, I still have to eat jealousy from 800 years ago. If it wasn't for Tian … "
At this point, Rong Yu finally realized that it was inappropriate. He stopped talking and looked at Ren Xuanyu in embarrassment.
At this time, they were sitting at the Midnight Barbecue Stall. In the middle of the night, Rong Yu came knocking on Ren Xuanyu's door and insisted on taking him out to have a heart-to-heart talk. Ren Xuanyu had exhausted a lot of his energy during the day and was a little hungry. Since he would never reject someone's good intentions, he came. What he meant by not rejecting people's good intentions was only limited to not embarrassing them in front of their faces. However, after Rong Yu talked so much, he did not respond even once. This made Rong Yu unhappy.
"How's your sugar daddy?"
Ren Xuanyu's hand that was holding the streaky pork paused.
This person really had a screw loose.
"This … Do you mind? I already told you everything. Why are you so shy? "Rong Yu said and bumped Ren Xuanyu's shoulder with his shoulder. The piece of streaky pork fell off.
Ren Xuanyu took back his hand and drank a mouthful of beer from the can. The ruined streaky pork on the greasy table, the yellow light bulb covered with grease in the inferior red lampshade hanging over his head, and the cheap beer all reminded Ren Xuanyu of his college life and the days when he was soliciting jobs in the Film City. He was not famous, he was not on guard, and he had no extra burden and worries.
He glanced at Rong Yu. The latter's eyes were filled with pure curiosity. He was like a male classmate who put his arm around his shoulder and wanted to know which base his girlfriend was at.
Ren Xuanyu swallowed involuntarily and said, "He is very good."
Rong Yu showed an expression that said, "Go on."
"Ahem, handsome, rich, charming, and …" Ren Xuanyu smiled. "He is not my sugar daddy anymore."
Rong Yu chewed the roasted chives and looked over. "Well, have you split up?"
"No, he is my boyfriend now."
Rong Yu choked and coughed.
Ren Xuanyu ignored him and continued to drink with a smile. The beer foam became as sweet as cream. It was not a pity that he did not get to eat the streaky pork. It was the first time that Ren Xuanyu tasted the feeling of showing off. A thing that he had never treated as a secret was announced in this way. Only then did he realize that it had been a secret for a long time, and the pleasure of revealing it was even greater.
"Where is your professional ethics? How can you be in a relationship with a sugar daddy?" No one knew who Rong Yu was fighting for, but he created his own professional ethics. "Don't look at me like this. I can't do it."
Ren Xuanyu was a little interested. "Why not?"
"If I'm a sugar daddy, I won't be embarrassed to take anything from him. But if I'm in a relationship, what happened before should I pretend it never happened? Am I not always inferior to others? Why should I be in a relationship with a sugar daddy of all people? "
Ren Xuanyu thought for a while. "I can understand it, but it doesn't apply to me. He didn't give me anything in the first place. I didn't look for him for resources. I have already won the Best Actor Award."
Rong Yu couldn't understand and grinned. "What do you mean?"
"No matter what he treats me as, I have never treated him as a sugar daddy. So it's not embarrassing."
"If you don't treat him as a sugar daddy, what do you treat him as?"
The smile on Ren Xuanyu's face faded away. He drank another mouthful of beer. This time it was not sweet, but sour and bitter.
For a moment, he wanted to say something, but the habit of digesting alone made it difficult for him to speak. Moreover, this complicated and subtle feeling might not be understood by Rong Yu. He was likely to understand it as some kind of abnormal love me and my dog.
This time, Rong Yu unexpectedly became tactful and didn't continue to ask. Watching Ren Xuanyu drinking the remaining half can of beer, he hesitated and asked him, "Have you been in a relationship before?"
"Dating? It's not nonsense. "
"What if you lied to your partner from the beginning, the kind that you can't admit and can't change?"
"Wow." Rong Yu stared a little exaggeratedly. "I feel that you are the kind of man who is very shrewd. You don't say anything. How do you say that your current sugar daddy … boyfriend, is being deceived by you?"
Ren Xuanyu's face didn't show any uneasiness. "It's a hypothesis."
"This hypothesis is too extreme. He doesn't admit and doesn't change. How bad would he be?"
Ren Xuanyu didn't say anything. He thought about the word "bad" and found it a little unacceptable.
"I just want him to always like me." He couldn't help but defend himself.
"Everyone uses this excuse to deceive others." Rong Yu didn't know who he was thinking of, but his eyes became soft. "Sincerity is so rare. Even if you are hurt, you won't complain. You will only remember his kindness for a lifetime. Besides, can you deceive him for a lifetime? If one day you expose yourself, the other party will definitely hate you. "
The light word "hate" seemed to be pulled out from Ren Xuanyu's complicated and winding stomach. He had been suppressing the fear brought by this word. At this moment, when he was pulled out, he was so scared that he wanted to vomit.
"I'm going back." He immediately stood up and walked away, disregarding Rong Yu's reaction.
Rong Yu paid the bill at the back. When he looked back at the way he came, he couldn't see Ren Xuanyu's figure anymore.
"As expected of the Best Actor. He ran away so naturally."
***
The first four episodes of "Super Chamber of Secrets" were recorded smoothly. The ratings of the first two episodes also met the expectations. Many people came for "Ren Xuanyu's first reality show", but they were fans of Rong Yu, who was especially like Hua Lun, pompous, narcissistic, and a little silly. The program team saw the audience's feedback. From the second episode onward, the emphasis on editing became a little obvious.
Wen Ya sent a detailed character design plan to Ren Xuanyu. She combined the opinions of psychologists and the characteristics of Ren Xuanyu's popular characters in the past. She asked Ren Xuanyu to analyze it carefully.
Ren Xuanyu dragged them into the dustbin.
He was very tired, more tired than filming. He just wanted to go home and hug Shen Huai to sleep.
However, when he dragged his suitcase home in the middle of the night, the house was dark. There was a fine layer of dust on the table, and the food in the fridge had expired. Shen Huai didn't know how long he had been away from this place.
Ren Xuanyu sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, found "Super Chamber", and watched the two episodes that he didn't dare to watch. It was already dawn.
It was really boring, but he couldn't fall asleep.
***
Shen Huai's new company was registered on the other side of the river. These days, the manpower and funds had been in place. Shen Huai had been busy for almost half a month. After returning, he immediately went to see Li Ming to clear up the bidding case that was about to start.
Then he went home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ren Xuanyu curled up on the sofa. There were takeout boxes scattered on the table. The temperature of the air conditioner was too low even for the end of summer. Shen Huai walked over and gently touched Ren Xuanyu. There was no reaction. When he got closer, he found that Ren Xuanyu's face was very bad. He was tightly gritting his teeth and touching his forehead.
Shen Huai didn't dare to delay. He pulled Ren Xuanyu up and wanted to take him to the hospital.
However, Ren Xuanyu blinked and took out a thermometer from his armpit. He looked at it with misty eyes and said, "38 degrees. The fever is going down. There's no need to go to the hospital."
Shen Huai poured him a glass of water. "What degree was it before?"
"39 and a half degrees."
"Are you crazy? Why didn't you go to the hospital? Why didn't you call me? "
"I have a high fever occasionally. It's okay." Ren Xuanyu said and lay back down. "I'll definitely be fine tonight."
Shen Huai put the glass in his hand. He thought about how the auntie at home took care of him when he was sick before. He went to the refrigerator to find ice cubes, wrapped them in a towel, and came over to put them on Ren Xuanyu's forehead.
The whites of Ren Xuanyu's eyes were a little red. He stared at him blankly and said, "I miss you so much."
Shen Huai was very straightforward. He leaned over and kissed Ren Xuanyu's lips. "I miss you too. When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me? I could have come back earlier."
"I was afraid of delaying your work." Ren Xuanyu touched his lips. "Can I kiss you again?"
Shen Huai was still holding the ice cubes in one hand. He held Ren Xuanyu's face with the other hand and kissed him deeply. He didn't care whether Ren Xuanyu had a fever caused by the cold or whether it was contagious. He really missed him so much. Ren Xuanyu's warm lips made him feel at ease. He squeezed and sucked them, and occasionally kissed his cheek.
When they separated, they were a little breathless. Ren Xuanyu's face became redder, and he smiled slightly.
Shen Huai felt that the sick Ren Xuanyu had a different feeling. He was refreshing, docile, and not so provocative.
He looked at them a few more times.
Ren Xuanyu didn't smile. It seemed that he didn't have much strength. He reached out and held Shen Huai's hand and closed his eyes.
Ren Xuanyu, who was lying on the bed, seemed to have a smaller face. He was handsome, with a perfect nose, eyebrows, and jawline. But his eyes were closed, and there was no expression on his face. He looked surprisingly ordinary.
The kind that wouldn't attract a second glance.
Why was he thinking about a sick person? He didn't have any strength. Why did he have to act like a sleeping beauty?
Shen Huai scolded himself in his heart. He stood up and called the family doctor of his house. He asked what a person with a fever should eat. If he had time, he would come to see him.
After he left, Ren Xuanyu was still lying there quietly. Every bone and muscle of his was stretched, although he didn't fall asleep. He thought wearily, "I'm sick. I can give myself a holiday."
