Ren Xuanyu had been vigilant for many days,
In the end, he realized that Yuan Han had really given up.
He guessed that the reason why the recording that had caused a lot of speculation could be released,
Other than him not stopping it, Yuan Han must not have stopped it either,
Both of them wanted to confirm the words "I gave up" - Ren Xuanyu didn't want Yuan Han to go back on his word,
Yuan Han probably didn't want him to have the chance to go back on his word either.
Ren Xuanyu heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't want to explore the reason why Yuan Han made this decision,
"No Man is an Island" was about to start filming,
They were going to the south to film for two months, and their schedule was tight, so they probably wouldn't have the chance to go home. Ren Xuanyu wanted to spend a few days with Shen Huai before he left.
He asked Pan Qi to help him buy ingredients and send them to his home, and spent the afternoon cooking,
Shen Huai still hadn't returned in the evening, and Ren Xuanyu didn't know much about Shen Huai's work,
He only knew that there was a bidding going on recently,
He should be very busy,
He called Shen Huai twice, but he didn't answer. Ren Xuanyu could only suppress his excitement like a primary school student on a spring outing and began to move his position,
He planned to review the main battlefield again tonight.
Ren Xuanyu changed the clean bedsheets,
He also dug out from the depths of his memory how his grandmother, who had passed away a long time ago, made the quilt soft,
He experimented a few times,
He turned the lights to the most comfortable brightness. The bed looked too comfortable,
Ren Xuanyu couldn't help but lie down. Shen Huai's pajamas were placed on the stool at the end of the bed. Ren Xuanyu stared at it for a while, but he still succumbed to his heart. He reached out and hugged it in his arms. The faint smell of Shen Huai tickled the tip of his nose.
Ren Xuanyu put his hand into his home pants and moved it unscrupulously under the soft and loose cotton. He thought about Shen Huai's naked body and buried his face in the tangled pajamas.
He calmed his breathing on the bed and slowly fell asleep.
When he woke up again, it was already more than three hours later. He blamed himself for oversleeping and hurriedly got up to see if Shen Huai had returned. He was greeted by an empty room and the ingredients that had not yet been cooked on the table. Shen Huai should be out for a social engagement and wouldn't come back. Ren Xuanyu was a little disappointed and looked at the pajamas in his hand.
Ren Xuanyu had already memorized the script. There was really nothing else to do. Inspired by the pajamas, he ran to Shen Huai's room to pick out his personal belongings. He wanted to take one of them with him. Otherwise, the next two months would be too difficult.
Then, he found the information about the performance class.
Ren Xuanyu was a little confused. There was a thick stack of notes and the handwriting was not Shen Huai's. Ren Xuanyu had seen a lot of Shen Huai's documents. It should be Cheng Pei's. He turned two more pages and found his name was circled.
Ren Xuanyu had a premonition and directly took out his phone to call Cheng Pei.
"Hello?"
"Are you out for a social engagement today? Is Lao Hu there? Do you need me to pick him up? "
"No, he is in class today … cough, cough, cough."
"… Class? What class?"
"No, nothing. I was just coughing."
"…"
"Oh, forget it. He didn't tell me not to tell you. It should be fine. Boss Shen is in the performance class recently. He is the teacher you used to study under."
Ren Xuanyu paused and his fingers involuntarily clenched the phone.
"Why is he playing this class all of a sudden?"
"How would I know? I have to ask you."
Ren Xuanyu hung up the phone and held the stack of papers. His heart gradually beat faster. He didn't know what he was worried about. It was because he didn't know that he was even more afraid.
There was some noise downstairs. Ren Xuanyu put down the things and walked out. He saw Shen Huai standing at the door. He smelled alcohol from a distance. His body was unsteady. He held the door with one hand and looked up at Ren Xuanyu.
Shen Huai's eyes were red. His cold eyes made Ren Xuanyu feel suffocated and his heart was in his throat.
"Did you drink?" Ren Xuanyu walked to Shen Huai's side and held his arm. His fingers were stiff. Fortunately, Shen Huai didn't push him away. Instead, he lay down on the sofa and didn't say a word.
Ren Xuanyu stood by the sofa and looked at him for a while. Shen Huai raised his arm to cover his eyes and lay there softly. It seemed that there was nothing but exhaustion. Ren Xuanyu came back to his senses. He quickly poured a glass of milk and melted a piece of sugar into it. He brought it to Shen Huai's side.
"Get up and drink some to relieve the alcohol. Do you still have the strength to take a bath? If you don't, we'll go upstairs and sleep. " He put his arm around Shen Huai's shoulder and coaxed him in a low voice. Shen Huai didn't refuse. He was even more obedient than before. He took the glass and drank half of it in one breath. The milk was stained on his lips.
Ren Xuanyu reached out his hand to help him wipe it gently. He said in a slightly flattering tone, "I'll get a toothbrush to brush your teeth, okay?"
Shen Huai lowered his eyes and nodded.
Ren Xuanyu stood up and walked away. On the way back and forth, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he couldn't grasp any of them. He didn't want to grasp any of them.
Ren Xuanyu helped Shen Huai brush his teeth. They were very close, face to face. Ren Xuanyu carefully rubbed the slender toothbrush against Shen Huai's teeth and gently rubbed the gums. Shen Huai just looked at him lightly. The scene was gentle and warm.
After brushing his teeth, Shen Huai stood up to rinse his mouth and then washed his face with cold water. He looked up at the mirror and saw that his face was full of cracks that he couldn't hold back anymore.
He was just played. He said to himself. The nausea passed in a few days.
Then he walked back to the living room and saw Ren Xuanyu standing there and looking at him blankly, still holding the toothbrush in his hand.
Shen Huai wanted to tell him not to let the toothpaste foam dirty the carpet, but he realized that he still wanted to dawdle. He was a little angry, and the words that came out of his mouth turned into the words that he had rehearsed several times in his mind.
"Do you think that Yuan Han likes me, and you want to have a try?"
Ren Xuanyu's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, disappeared. His chest suddenly became empty.
"… What are you talking about?"
"I don't know what I'm talking about." Shen Huai walked over and took the toothbrush from Ren Xuanyu's hand. He didn't know where to put it, so he simply threw it into the trash can. He looked up at Ren Xuanyu. Under the wet eyelashes, there was a pair of injured red eyes. "But no matter how I think about it, this is the only answer I can come up with."
"I went to the acting class that you used to study in and took a few days of acting classes. Although I can't learn it, at least I can see the knack of it. Ren Xuanyu, you've acted in front of me more than once, haven't you?"
"I … No, I didn't. Listen to me, I just want to make you happy …"
"Last time, because of the incident with Yuan Han, my attention was diverted by you. There were a few things that I didn't ask clearly. In the beginning, when you contacted me, you said that your company bought the Best Actor for you. You pretended to be weak and obedient to me. In fact, you are Shrike's money tree. I should be begging you. Buying the Best Actor is bullshit. Later, you annoyed me, and you used the lie that your director is your family's property to make movies to pretend to be pitiful to me. Both times, you made me feel that you were here to ask for benefits, to make a deal, to make me relax my guard and play with you."
Shen Huai smiled. "Such a casual lie. You don't seem to care at all. It's because you really only wanted to play with me from the start. You just wanted to coax me to your heart's content. Even if it's exposed in the future, it doesn't matter. Anyway, in your eyes, I'm just an idiot who can get complacent after a little coaxing."
"Shen Huai, that was the beginning! At the beginning, I just wanted to get close to you quickly! "
"Why did you get close to me?" Shen Huai looked straight at Ren Xuanyu's completely panicked face. He was distracted and wondered if he was also acting now. "You are already the Best Actor. After so many years of hard work, did you become the Best Actor just to find a sugar daddy? Don't tell me that you fell for me at that time? "
Ren Xuanyu knew that this was the most crucial question. Shen Huai had no evidence, and neither did Yuan Han. The evidence was his heart. It was a ridiculous and crazy crooked idea at that time. As long as he didn't admit that idea, it didn't exist.
"I did use some tricks on you, but so what? You don't like people like me at all. You are so fickle and so high and mighty. How can I get into your eyes? Of course, I can only … "
"Stop."
Shen Huai suddenly took two steps back and fell on the sofa as if he had lost all his strength.
"Stop talking. Go away. I don't want to see you."
Ren Xuanyu froze on the spot. After more than ten seconds, he said with a trembling voice, "Don't be angry at me. Don't say that. I really … really like you. I won't do what you don't like anymore. I won't lie to you anymore. I, I will …"
"What will you do in the future?" Shen Huai raised his eyes. His eyelashes were dry, but his eyes were filled with tears. It was the first time that Ren Xuanyu saw his tears. "You are still lying now. Just tell me that you got close to me because of Yuan Han, because you wanted to play with someone that Yuan Han couldn't get. What would happen then? Do you think I have the ability to kill you now? Besides, I also … "
"I can't bear to."
Ren Xuanyu took a step forward weakly and slowly knelt in front of Shen Huai, kneeling at his feet.
"Don't chase me away."
That was all he could say.
Shen Huai looked over. His eyes could no longer contain the tears that were overflowing, and they rolled down in large droplets.
"I thought you were different from them. You were so persistent, so resolute. I was so confused by you that I thought I was worthy of such feelings. In fact, you weren't persistent at all, nor were you resolute. Maybe you just wanted to play, and in the middle of it, you accidentally fell in love."
Ren Xuanyu lowered his head and held one of Shen Huai's hands. His whole body was crushed, and he said hopefully, "Yes, I fell in love. I really like you. It's true."
"It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. I only fell in love with you halfway … I'm just too disappointed." Shen Huai looked at the ceiling, and his eyes were unfocused. "How long do you plan to lie to me? You smiled at me, and you tensed up to make those expressions. You relied on those masks to lie to me because you wouldn't be caught by me. You wore those masks to lie to me. Do you think I would like it? I used to like it, but after a long time, how could I not see it? Yes, I'm fickle and I'm high and mighty. I'm not a good person, but I've never lied to you. I don't think it's okay to play tricks on you. "
"I was moved by your persistence, but it turned out to be fake. I liked it when you smiled at me and acted like a spoiled child, but it turned out to be fake too. I can't be sure which part of you I like is real. I can't be sure if I really like you."
"So go."
