Resignation

Zhuang Xici looked at Lu Wanshan who suddenly appeared, and hesitated before speaking. "How did you come?"

Judging from this time, Zhuang Xici thought that Lu Wanshan was still on his way to have dinner with his friends, so how could he guess that Lu Wanshan actually came to the recording site.

"The recording of "The Actor", how can I be absent?" Lu Wanshan replied politely, and then took out the food he brought and put it on the table, "I don't know what you like to eat, so I ordered something casually."

It was not as heavy as what Qin Yao ordered, and what Lu Wanshan packed was much lighter, making it rare for Zhuang Xici, who hadn't eaten much for more than ten hours, to have an appetite.

Seeing this, Qin Yao took the takeaway he ordered in a small way, and then left the lounge wisely, leaving space for the two of them.

"The food in this restaurant is very good. If you have time, you can go and have a look in the future." Lu Wanshan poured a small bowl of soup for Zhuang Xici, "I usually order their takeaway when I'm at home during the holidays."

Zhuang Xici nodded, but he didn't answer Lu Wanshan's words. Instead, he brought the topic back to the beginning, "Why are you here?"

Zhuang Xici didn't believe what Lu Wanshan said to watch the recording of the show, it was obviously perfunctory.

Lu Wanshan didn't expect Zhuang Xici to be so obsessed with this question, so he laughed helplessly for a while. "I'm sure I'll come over after dinner if I have nothing to do."

"?" Zhuang Xici was puzzled, "It's not your birthday today, why..."

"It's been brought forward." Lu Wanshan interrupted, "I told them that I have something to do in the afternoon, and then the party was brought forward to the morning."

When Lu Wanshan called Han Wang to make an appointment at six o'clock in the morning, Han Wang was still in a daze and didn't wake up completely, and when he answered Lu Wanshan's call, he would subconsciously use monosyllabic words.

After patiently speaking twice, before Han Wang woke up, Lu Wanshan finally ran out of patience, hung up the phone and called Ruan Xian.

Ruan Xian got up early, and when Lu Wanshan called, he was running in the morning, so it was much easier for Lu Wanshan to communicate with him, and the time to meet was fixed in a few clicks.

So the meeting, originally scheduled for four or five in the afternoon, abruptly advanced the time by seven or eight hours, so that the first thing Han Wang did after rushing over was to scold Lu Wanshan.

However, Lu Wanshan was in a good mood, and no matter how excited Han Wang said, Lu Wanshan's face did not change from being disturbed.

At this moment, the person who put him in a good mood was sitting opposite him eating.

After listening to the explanation, Zhuang Xici didn't feel any more curiosity. He smiled and lowered his head to eat the food Lu Wanshan brought over. After eating the food, his stomach pain didn't stop, and Zhuang Xici's complexion also improved a lot.

Lu Wanshan paid close attention to the changes of Zhuang Xici, so after seeing that Zhuang Xici's face finally turned red, Lu Wanshan heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately laughed.

Zhuang Xici was inexplicably laughed at, and looked up at Lu Wanshan in puzzlement, "?"

"Are you more comfortable?" Lu Wanshan asked without answering, "Qin Yao is your assistant, you can tell him in advance what you want to eat, or if you don't like what he bought, you will be the one who suffers."

Zhuang Xici was surprised and looked at Lu Wanshan without speaking.

"Like today." Lu Wanshan said, "The filming lasted until the early hours of the morning, followed by rushing to the set to record, who will suffer after such a toss?"

"But if you don't tell Qin Yao, he'll think you're fine." Lu Wanshan pointed at the pile of food Qin Yao bought, and said with a smile, "But can your stomach take it?"

Zhuang Xici clutched his stomach, like a child who has been taught a lesson for doing something wrong, and said in a muffled voice, "I can't bear it."

"So, Mr. Zhuang," Lu Wanshan said softly for Zhuang Xici, "you can trouble the people around you more in the future."

Zhuang Xici didn't speak, and looked up at Lu Wanshan stupidly.

Seeing Zhuang Xici like this, Lu Wanshan couldn't help laughing, and under his gaze, he magically took out a hot water bottle, "For example, you can tell me that your stomach is uncomfortable and you need a hot water bottle. "

After finishing speaking, Lu Wanshan didn't delay much, and put the hot water bottle that had been warmed up in advance on Zhuang Xici's abdomen, then sat back with a smile, "Is it better?"

Zhuang Xici was completely stunned, first he looked down at the hot water bottle on his abdomen, then looked up at Lu Wanshan who was sitting across from him and was smiling, he hadn't recovered from the series of violent blows.

He didn't expect Lu Wanshan to do so much.

Zhuang Xici left home to study at the age of 17, and lived alone in the following years.When he first debuted, he had no resources or contacts, and the funds were often beyond his means, but Zhuang Xici would rather live through hardships by himself than ask his family for money.

The resources can be picked up later, but because of the small cafe space, it is common for the resources in hand to be robbed.

Did you say he was not wronged?No, of course Zhuang Xici felt wronged, but he couldn't say that Zhuang Xici didn't want his family to worry about him.

So after a long time, Zhuang Xici got used to it.Even if he became popular later on, some things about being an [-]th-tier star have always followed him.

Whether it's a habit, or the pain that fell at that time.

Looking at Lu Wanshan, who had just cooperated for a short time, Zhuang Xici took off the disguise he had put on for a long time, and said with a smile, "Got it."

The person who was surprised by the words turned into Lu Wanshan.

No one likes to be lectured, no matter who the speaker is.So when Lu Wanshan couldn't control his mouth and said a lot, the first reaction that came to Lu Wanshan's mind was that he was meddling.

Although he and Zhuang Xici have been getting along a lot recently, sometimes they even think they are friends who have known each other for a long time just by looking at their relationship.

However, as the person involved, Lu Wanshan knew all too well that his relationship with Zhuang Xici was far from enough to allow him to preach wantonly in front of him.

Because of this, when Lu Wanshan finished that long paragraph, he was done thinking, and his image in Zhuang Xici's heart must have plummeted.

But Zhuang Xici's reaction surprised him.

And what Lu Wanshan didn't expect was that Zhuang Xici nodded seriously in agreement with what he said.

The room fell silent again.

Lu Wanshan squinted at Zhuang Xici, who was a little lazy after eating and drinking, thought for a while and said, "Mr. Chenchen Zhuang called me and sang happy birthday songs, and said that birthdays should have a sense of ceremony."

"Ok?"

"Besides the birthday song, there is another essential thing for a birthday," Lu Wanshan said deliberately drawn out, "Of course it's the birthday cake."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Zhuang Xici had time to answer, he heard the knock on the door of the lounge.In the next second, Qin Yao walked in with a packaged cake.

Zhuang Xici's eyes fell on the box that Qin Yao was carrying, seeing Qin Yao put it on the table, he said with a smile, "Mr. Lu, I brought the cake for you."

Originally, Lu Wanshan was supposed to bring in the cake, but Lu Wanshan wanted to surprise Zhuang Xici temporarily, so he stored it elsewhere, so he had to ask Qin Yao to help get it.

"Thank you." Lu Wanshan gave Qin Yao a bottle of drink, "Take a break."

Qin Yao thanked with a smile, glanced at the cake on the table, and said strangely, "Brother Zhuang's didn't arrive either, so whose birthday is it today, I..."

Qin Yao got stuck in his throat halfway through what he said, and realized who it was today's birthday belatedly.

"Mr. Lu?" Qin Yao looked at Lu Wanshan in surprise, and after seeing him nod, he hurriedly said happy birthday, "I didn't prepare a present either, so I'll make it up for Teacher Lu next time, okay?"

"What's the point of this?" Lu Wanshan smiled indifferently, turned his head and asked him, "Stay here for a piece of cake?"

Zhuang Xici also looked at Qin Yao, but Qin Yao shook his head and rejected Lu Wanshan's invitation, saying embarrassedly, "I met the assistant director on the way back just now, and he asked me to go and find him later."

Since it was a matter of work, it was not easy for Lu Wanshan to force him to stay, so after a while there were only the two of them left in the lounge.

Lu Wanshan squinted at the silent Zhuang Xici, opened the package under his gaze, put the cake completely on the table, then took out the candles, and inserted them on the cake one by one.

As for Zhuang Xici, he was not idle either. He picked up the lighter beside him and lit the candle that Lu Wanshan had inserted.

Seeing this, Lu Wanshan smiled slightly, and slowed down the speed of inserting the candles, so that Zhuang Xici could catch up with the speed of lighting the fire.

The last candle was lit, and Zhuang Xici took a paper birthday hat, and helped Lu Wanshan put it on rather affectionately, and said with a smile, "You can make a wish."

But Lu Wanshan shook his head.

"?" Zhuang Xici pretended that Lu Wanshan didn't believe this, so he smiled and explained to him, "Birthday wishes don't necessarily mean they will come true, our wishing is just to pursue a sense of ritual."

But Lu Wanshan was still shaking his head after hearing this.

Now Zhuang Xici completely doesn't understand Lu Wanshan, "I..."

Zhuang Xici just opened his mouth, and before he could say the rest, Lu Wanshan interrupted, "Come and make a wish."

"You sang the birthday song to me in the early morning, and that was enough to make me happy." Lu Wanshan said, "It's a very good gift, and to some extent it can be regarded as my wish."

When he was very young, every birthday, Lu Wanshan would make a wish, hoping that someone would spend his birthday with him next year, and someone would sing a birthday song to him.

It's just that this wish has not been realized in those years.

Later, as Lu Wanshan got older, he gradually didn't care about these empty things. Although someone did celebrate his birthday with him, but due to various reasons, no one had sung him the birthday song for so many years.

Zhuang Xici was the first one.

However, despite what Lu Wanshan said, Zhuang Xici still shook his head and refused, not agreeing to what Lu Wanshan said, "This is your birthday, I can't do this."

"Why not?" Lu Wanshan smiled, "Shou Xing said it's okay."

Zhuang Xici wanted to say more, but Lu Wanshan took off the thing he was wearing on his head, put it on Zhuang Xici's head without thinking, raised the corners of his mouth and said, "It's my birthday today, I'll tell you everything It's up to you."

Lu Wanshan raised his chin, motioned Zhuang Xici to look at the dancing candles on the cake in front of him, and said with a smile, "Lu Wanshan said, you will share half of the happiness with you."

"So don't be too polite, Mr. Zhuang, hurry up and make a wish," Lu Wanshan smiled, "I'm still waiting to eat the cake."

After finishing speaking, Lu Wanshan didn't do anything else, just looked at Zhuang Xici with a smile in his eyes, waiting for his next move.Under Lu Wanshan's gaze, Zhuang Xici didn't refuse at first, and agreed with his eyes downcast.

Zhuang Xici clasped his hands together, and before closing his eyes to make a wish, he suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Wanshan, then closed his eyes, and whispered a wish in his heart, hoping that Lu Wanshan would have a safe and smooth life.

Although Lu Wanshan said that he shared half of his happiness and gave him the opportunity to make a wish, Zhuang Xici did not take it as his own, on the contrary the wish he made was still related to Lu Wanshan.

It doesn't matter if Lu Wanshan doesn't make a wish, he will make it for him.
