you after the mist

"This way, please."

"Okay, thank you."

"Mr. Lin, we're here."

"Please come in."

Tang Ran smiled at the waiter, opened the door and went in.

This is an antique tea house, hidden in the center of the city where every inch of land is expensive. Tang Ran often passes by here, but he has never noticed it.

"It's quiet here." Lin Yi motioned him to sit down, "I originally wanted to ask you to go to Yaoxing directly, but I was afraid that the reporter would write scribbles on the camera and said you wanted to sign it."

"Uncle was joking." Tang Ran lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea.

It wasn't the first time he had met Lin Yi, he had seen him at a charity dinner before.I didn't know his relationship with Jiang Ning at the time, so I didn't pay attention. In fact, if you look carefully, the blood relationship between him and Jiang Ning is still obvious.It's just that Lin Yi is getting old after all, the wrinkles around his eyes and the white hair on his temples can't be hidden, but these don't make him look old, on the contrary, he shows a majesty.

"Why? Think I'm not popular enough to be followed 24 hours a day?" Lin Yi pushed an envelope in front of him, "Look."

Tang Ran opened it according to his words. It was a sneak photo of him and Jiang Ning, which was taken the day they went to the library.Not too intimate, but enough to be suspicious.

Tang Ran's face remained unchanged, and he put the photo back into the envelope, "Please trouble uncle."

"It's quite troublesome." Lin Yi smiled, "Let me ask the old-fashioned question, can we separate?"

Tang Ran raised his head, "No."

"I guess that's the answer."

Lin Yi sighed, looking regretful, "I really don't want him to be with you."

"It's not very polite for me to say that." Tang Ran crossed his hands and leaned back slightly on the chair, "It's just that this matter may not go as you wish."

"I have known you for a long time. You must know this too." Lin Yi said suddenly.

Tang Ran nodded noncommittally.

"I really didn't think at the time that my son would be gay."

"I'm afraid you never thought you would have a son." Tang Ran's expression was flat.

"I didn't know he existed back then, but these explanations don't make sense." Lin Yi's expression was a little sad, "I want to make it up to him, but this child..."

"Jiang Ning won't have another childhood, and not everything can be made up."

"Son, you are very dissatisfied with me." Lin Yi said slowly. "Is it because of this matter, or because I let you separate."

"I'm not dissatisfied with uncle, so don't worry about it." Tang Ran didn't expect him to mention it directly.

"We separated at that time. In the final analysis, it was our own reasons. I was too young and not firm enough. Other reasons were just fueling the flames. If I was dissatisfied with you, Uncle, because of this matter, it would be better to say that I was dissatisfied with myself at the time But again, now" Tang Ran said firmly, "Since Jiang Ning and I can be together again, I will never leave him under any circumstances. Please forgive me if my uncle thinks this is an offense to you. "

"Your temper is different from what I heard." Lin Yi played with the teacup, "Don't be impulsive, listen to me. At first, I just didn't want him to be with men. But I also don't want him to be with men. You know, it’s not that I can change him if I want to control it.”

Lin Yi said with a sigh, "But now, what I don't want even more is that he is with you. You have too much influence on him."

Surprise flashed across Tang Ran's face.

Lin Yi continued, "The matter of his assistant has something to do with you, you..."

"I know." Tang Ran whispered.

"Then I won't say more." Lin Yidao, "After the incident was exposed, he was replaced in Li Hong's film. The producer and Yaoxing did not deal well with each other, and it was not easy for me to come forward. But From the bottom of my heart, I am not optimistic about that project, and I will change it if I change it, and the new high-screen drama will not be worse than that..."

Tang Ran already knew many things that Lin Yi said. For example, this movie had already been approved for a long time, and it ran aground because Jiang Ning stopped acting.But what he didn't know was that Jiang Ning took the show again for him.

"You've been on the top line these past few years. It's not easy to be like this at a young age." Lin Yi said slowly, "But my old bones have been immersed in this circle for so many years. If you really want to Do you think it will be difficult to suppress you?"

"Uncle, did you mean then or now?" Tang Ran smiled, "You could use me to threaten Jiang Ning, but it was really difficult to threaten me. I don't care about these things. Even if I start tomorrow, I won't get a single film contract. An announcement, it doesn't matter. He is enough."

"Son, don't speak too early. In the future, no one can say for sure."

"I can." Tang Ran looked at Lin Yi and repeated, "I can."

He stood up and nodded to Lin Yi, "It seems that you and I can't talk together, so I'll take my leave first."

"Sit down." Lin Yi slapped the table, looked at Tang Ran, and then slowed down, "Listen to me."

Tang Ran remained silent.

"I really don't agree with you being together." He laughed at himself, "But Jiang Ning won't be obedient, I know. You young people, I can't control any of you. But you have to believe that parents' beloved son has far-reaching plans .Everything I do is for his own good."

"Then what do you want to do?" Tang Ran pulled out the chair and sat down again.

"It's up to you." Lin Yi said, "Do you want to make it public?"

"of course not."

Lin Yi pointed to the envelope, "Then how do we deal with these things? I may be able to press it once or twice. But I am also old, if one day I don't take care of it, you will be finished."

"Both of them are in front of the stage, it's really too eye-catching." It's not like Tang Ran didn't think about this problem, "I'll start turning behind the scenes."

Lin Yi looked at him in surprise.

"The studio has been operating well in the past few years." Tang Ran said, "I still have a few contracts left in my hand. After these are over, I will not accept new ones. At the latest, by this time next year, I can Completely retreat from the front. The matter between me and Jiang Ning should naturally be taken care of by me."

Lin Yi lowered his head, drank half a cup of tea, and said, "Let Jiang Ning sign Yaoxing. Your studio will also be sold to Yaoxing. Since you are willing to go behind the scenes, then Yaoxing will do the same."

"Uncle, I can't decide Jiang Ning's contract."

"He listens to you."

"Maybe." Tang Ran said, "But this is not the reason for me to change his will. As for my studio, these things are too long ago."

"Fortunately, I didn't say anything to death." Lin Yi's voice was not necessarily pleasant.

"It depends on what Jiang Ning wants. When will he be willing. Then I have no objection."

"Then let's talk about it." Lin Yi rang the bell at hand, and a waiter brought over two boxes of tea cakes, "Baihao silver needle, bring him back. We met today..."

"I'll tell him when the time is right." Tang Ran took the box.

"Go." Lin Yi waved his hand, "I won't see you off."

Tang Ran smiled, "Goodbye, uncle."

"came back?"

"Why is the light so dim?" Jiang Ning sat in the study with only a floor lamp beside him.

Tang Ran raised his hand to turn on the ceiling lamp, and walked to Jiang Ning's side, "I'm not afraid to spoil my eyes."

"Forgot. It wasn't so dark just now." Jiang Ning put the script aside and hugged Tang Ran's waist, "Why is it so late?"

"It's only after seven o'clock, how late is it? It's as if I didn't come back until midnight." Tang Ran raised his hand to stroke his hair, "Aren't you busy in the afternoon? When did you come back?"

"As far as how long an interview can last, it will end after four o'clock."

"why are you laughing?"

Tang Ran saw the smile on his face.

"I gave a first draft in the afternoon. There were twenty or so questions, five or six of which were directly related to you, and almost half of them were related to "Her". Luo Hong's face darkened on the spot." Jiang Ningsong He opened his hands and stood up, "I don't know if they are really curious, or if they heard something and wanted to test it."

Luo Hong is the manager hired by Jiang Ning, and she has been in charge of Jiang Ning's economic affairs since he came out of Qiwen.

"and after?"

"Of course it was replaced, and I kept one. Ask me how it feels to work with you this time?"

"Then what did you say?" Tang Ran leaned forward a little, "How does it feel to work with me?"

Jiang Ning smiled and kissed the corner of his lips, "It's the feeling of heartbeat."

"Remember." Tang Ran looked him up and down, "It's going to be broadcast, you didn't answer that way, you're doomed."

"Then I'll call now and ask if I can re-record it." Jiang Ning pretended to be panicked.

"Forget it, I'm a magnanimous person." Tang Ran shook his arm, "Give me a bribe, I forgive you."

"How to bribe?"

"Like preparing dinner or something."

"Didn't eat?" Jiang Ning walked to the kitchen.

Tang Ran followed, "Have you eaten?"

"No, didn't I wait for you?"

"Then why do you ask?"

"Didn't I see that it's past meal time? I thought you had eaten."

Jiang Ning stopped after passing the living room, "What is that?"

"I brought you two boxes of white tea."

"Didn't you just buy it two days ago?"

"Really?" Tang Ranxin said that it was really hard for him to lie to Jiang Ning, "I forgot."

He pushed Jiang Ning to the kitchen, "Cook first, I'm starving to death."

"Okay." Jiang Ning shook his head and smiled, "We're almost stuck together, do you want me to carry you?"

"Another day, I will give you this chance."

After entering the kitchen, Jiang Ning opened the refrigerator, "What do you want to eat?"

Tang Ran put her head on his shoulder, looked at it, "Tang Yuan, hurry up."

Jiang Ning stood in front of the gas stove, folded his arms and waited for the water to boil.

Tang Ran mopped up a chair and sat on one side, "I feel like we both have become tacky after we fell in love. We couldn't say a few words before turning to eating."

"It seems that you went around." Jiang Ning lifted the lid of the pot and put the glutinous rice balls in, "Besides, if you don't want to talk about food, we can talk about other things too."

"Ok?"

Jiang Ning looked back at him, "For example, sleeping or something."

"That's enough, you." Tang Ran supported the cooking table with his hand, "But to be honest, I've actually cooked pretty well in the past few years. But in the past few months, I feel like I've degenerated again."

"Then do you want to improve it now?" Jiang Ning took a handful of pandan leaves, washed them with water, tore them up and threw them into the water.

Tang Ran took two bowls from the cupboard, "I can help to fill them out."

"These words made me think you didn't want to eat." Jiang Ning walked out from behind him, "Then you do it, I'll put away the dining table."

Tang Ran filled the glutinous rice balls and went out with two bowls.Jiang Ning is putting away the tea boxes in the cabinet.

"It's done, let's eat."

"Yeah." Jiang Ning looked at the tea box carefully before closing the cabinet door.

Tang Ran felt guilty, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Jiang Ning smiled and handed him the spoon.

"Oh." Tang Ran took a bite of the glutinous rice balls, and suddenly heard Jiang Ning calling him.

"If there is anything, you must tell me."

Tang Ran almost choked.

"Drink some soup." Jiang Ning patted him on the back, "What are you in a hurry for?"

It took Tang Ran a while to calm down, he held Jiang Ning's hand, "I won't deliberately hide anything from you, you have to trust me."

Jiang Ning looked at their intertwined fingers, "Okay."
