Unrequited [Entertainment]

It was only seven o'clock in the morning when Lin Wen arrived at the magazine office in a hurry.For white-collar workers who usually start work at nine o'clock, this office area has not yet fully awakened and is deserted.

He rushed into the building in three steps and two steps, and called the editor at the time: "Hi, I'm downstairs!"

"I'll pick you up," said the editor.

When Lin Wen waited for the elevator door to open, the editor was already waiting for him outside.He looked around Lin Wen, and suddenly remembered something: "Oh yes, Mr. Lin, you don't have an assistant or a manager."

"Ah...um." Lin Wen nodded.

"Hey." The editor said while pulling him away, "The content of the interview is ok, just to make up a few floor plans, because I need to do styling, so please come earlier."

"Okay." Lin Wen said, "I will definitely cooperate."

"After the show aired, our editor-in-chief went crazy! She said that even if she only had one morning, she would add a version for you." The editor kicked away the surrounding things that blocked the way, pushed Lin Wen into the room, and then came to the door , and said, "You go to make up first...you...Huh?"

The room is a white two-story duplex studio. After hearing someone coming in, a bunch of people inside turned to look.Lin Wen first looked up and saw a tall and handsome man standing in the middle of the white shed, wearing the most classic black suit, almost impeccable, no matter how handsome he looked.

Lin Wen was stunned for a moment, thinking that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't name him, so he must be a celebrity.

"Why is there a shooting today!" the editor shouted, "Isn't there an appointment for tomorrow?"

The photographer who was shooting in front turned his head with the camera: "It's not tomorrow!"

"Oh my god! I want to use the studio! We only have one morning." The editor walked over, "The editor-in-chief said that he would temporarily increase the version. If I can't finish shooting in the morning, I will die!"

Lin Wen stood behind and saw a person who turned his back to him after taking pictures and turned to fold his arms.

He was stunned for a moment.

What kind of evil fate, unexpectedly met Bai Fan here.

"Boss Bai!" said the editor, "It's just right, I want to discuss something with you." He pointed to Lin Wen, "You two should know each other too, we want to temporarily add a page for this kid, can we do it later? Postpone shooting for an hour?"

Lin Wen swallowed, and looked at Bai Fan's gaze.He has no expression, even a little cold.

Lin Wen thought for a while, then stepped forward: "Mr. Bai, I'm sorry...I..."

"No." Bai Fan crossed his arms and turned to look at the editor, "Xu Yiqing's schedule is very full today, so there is no way to adjust."

Lin Wen stamped his feet, looked at Bai Fan, even the editor was a little embarrassed: "Boss Bai, please be accommodating..."

Xu Yiqing walked over from the white shed, he was about the same height as Bai Fan, Lin Wen shrank his neck unconsciously, and took a step back.

"It's okay, Bai Fan, I can compress the time here." Xu Yiqing said.

Bai Fan didn't speak, Lin Wen felt that his air pressure was very low, and he didn't know why he was angry.Xu Yiqing shook his shoulder with one hand, and pointed to the shed behind him with his thumb: "This kid hasn't made up yet, so I'll take pictures first, and I'll make way after finishing the styling."

Seeing that Bai Fan didn't object or agree, Lin Wen bowed to Xu Yiqing: "Thank you teacher!"

The editor also accepted Bai Fan's acquiescence, and grabbed Lin Wen's hand: "Thank you, Mr. Xu! Lin Wen is gone."

The make-up and styling teacher is very good, and it took more than half an hour to complete Lin Wen's styling.Her hair was cut a little shorter, and her bangs were cut above her eyebrows, making her look energetic.While scratching his hair, the stylist said, "This is much prettier than your hairstyle when you appeared on "Singing New Stars."

"Yes." Lin Wen was also very satisfied, and looked left and right in the mirror, "So handsome."

"You're already handsome." The stylist sculpted his eyebrows carefully, "It's the first time I've met a single-handed shooter for a magazine. What about your previous agency, did you terminate the contract? Is it because your teammates are too hateful?"

"..." Lin Wen stuck out his tongue, but did not answer.

"During the interview, I promised him not to ask questions about his teammates." The editor said beside him.

The stylist shook his head with a smile, and straightened up: "Okay, hurry up and take pictures, Mr. Bai will really get angry after a while."

Lin Wen stood up from the chair, followed the editor out, and said softly, "President Bai...is he always angry like this?"

"He is more serious when it comes to work, don't mind." The editor also whispered, "And today he is taking Xu Yiqing with him. He checked the draft with us three times before, and all Xu Yiqing's photos must be taken personally. Xuan, I heard that Xingge is going to support him with all its strength this year, of course Bai Fan cares."

Lin Wen felt dizzy for a while, and went down the stairs, watching Xu Yiqing's back coming out of the shed from top to bottom, and Bai Fan handed him a sip of water.He stretched out his hand and patted Bai Fan's shoulder in a natural and intimate gesture.

... What, Xu Yiqing must be busy these days.

It is impossible to say that Lin Wen doesn't taste good, and just now in front of so many people, Bai Fan was obviously on fire. Why is this fire, Lin Wen thought about it all because he delayed Xu Yiqing's shooting time, delayed their progress.

After Xu Yiqing came down, she went to touch up her makeup, and Lin Wen stood in the white shed.Bai Fan glanced at him, just when Lin Wen thought he was going to leave the shed with Xu Yiqing, but Bai Fan sat down on the folding chair behind him.

He raised one foot and raised his chin slightly to look at Lin Wen.

Lin Wen: ...

Audience friends, long time no see.Mr. Bai is singing which?

See if I am embarrassed, then congratulations to him, he did it!

Standing in the white booth, Lin Wen had never taken a flat photo in front of so many people, and he seemed at a loss as if he was on stage for the first time.Originally, his heart was already confused enough, but Bai Fan still insisted on sitting on that chair and watching him take pictures.

He took a breath and looked towards the camera.

After taking two photos, I was about to raise my head and say to him, "...Well, Lin Wen, don't be so nervous, relax a little bit."

Pressed two more: "That Lin Wen... really don't need to be so nervous,"

"That Lin..."

Lin Wen couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and said in Bai Fan's direction: "Mr. Bai, I'm sorry... I'm a little nervous, can you avoid it?"

Bai Fan: "No."

Lin Wen opened his mouth halfway and licked his lips with a look of disbelief.

"You shoot yours, I'll look at mine." Bai Fan said.

The people present could see something between the two of them at this moment, but what was the specific... they couldn't tell at all, as if there was a thread stretched in the air.No matter how Lin Wen thought about it, he didn't know where he had provoked Bai Fan, and because he was really nervous about filming, he felt restless.

Fortunately, whenever Lin Wen suppressed that irritability, he would be able to concentrate on shooting instead.

The state of the next few pictures is relaxed, and I finally found the feeling.Immediately after the photographer finished shooting, he copied the film to the editor, and the editor pressed Lin Wen's shoulder: "Thank you Lin Wen, I'm going to catch up with the draft first, how about I treat you to dinner next time? I really can't do it today I'm sending you off."

"No, no, you're busy." Lin Wen said, "I'm going to the hospital too."

"I wish your father a speedy recovery." The editor pointed at the hard drive with the film in his hand, "It's up to you whether the magazine will sell well or not."

After the editor left, Lin Wen went to the dressing room to remove her makeup and change her clothes.A person was about to go out from the studio, and he saw Xu Yiqing returned to the studio, changed his clothes, and was shooting the next set.

He didn't dare to look at Bai Fan, and bowed to Xu Yiqing from a distance, Xu Yiqing seemed to see it too, and nodded to him with a smile.He walked straight to the door.

He closed the door with his front foot, turned around and let out a breath. Just as he was about to leave, there was a loud noise from the door behind him.Lin Wen was startled, and the wrist was grabbed by the person behind him. He turned his head subconsciously, and the person behind him pulled him sideways to the aisle next to him, cornered him, and looked down at him.

Lin Wen stalked his neck, which is what he likes when he is guilty and nervous.

He thought to himself, I am not afraid, I am afraid of wool.

"Come to shoot a magazine by yourself?" Bai Fan hooked his index finger and stroked his cheek.

"You still have artists inside, is it okay to leave it alone?" Lin Wen also stared at him.

"How much can you listen to what I say?" Bai Fan hooked his chin, then touched his Adam's apple, "...I tell you to wait until I finish my work and find a reliable agent and assistant for you, then you can take your time." It's not too late to find a job, why are you jumping around now? It seems that you are very capable? Or do you think you don't believe me from the bottom of your heart?"

Lin Wen frowned: "I didn't...I didn't mean that, I need this job now."

"I asked after you went to make up." Bai Fan shook his head slightly, "You are really capable, and you even found a sanitary napkin to endorse? What is going on in your mind every day?"

Lin Wen gritted his teeth: "Aren't you qualified to tell me what to do here? Are you my manager or who?"

Bai Fan let go of him, and took two steps back: "You are just about to start your career, don't ruin your reputation like this. Are you short of money? Why don't you ask me if you are short of money? Tell me how much you want, and I'll give it to you now..."

Lin Wen swallowed with his eyes closed, and raised his hand slightly: "Mr. Bai, wait..."

"How much do you want." Bai Fan took out a leather wallet from his coat pocket, took out a dozen pink banknotes from it, and sprinkled it on Lin Wen, "Take as much as you want."

"Mr. Bai!" Although Lin Wen knew that he had no right to be angry, he always felt that Bai Fan was inexplicable, "I don't want your money!"

Bai Fan threw the last dozen of money on his body to Lin Wen's chest, and the pink banknotes were like scattered petals, making several circles in the air and falling to the ground.

"Mr. Bai, I'm not a dog." Lin Wen looked at him, "When you're happy, touch it twice and enjoy some bones. When you can't remember, I'm just empty. I'm grateful for your kindness to me, but I don't want you Take control of my life..."

Bai Fan looked at him, silent, and there was no sadness or joy in his eyes.

"I am indeed short of money, but I don't want to ask you to borrow it. Otherwise, we will always be unequal, and you will always treat me like a dog." Lin Wen said, "I don't want to do this."

"You still think I will like you?" Bai Fan smiled.

"I don't know." Lin Wen squatted on the ground and picked up the money one by one, "Of course I hope you like me."

"I won't." Bai Fan said, "I'll never like anyone. Feelings are useless except for acting. I advise you to wake up early."

There were too many banknotes on the ground, Lin Wen picked up a dozen, put them back into the wallet that Bai Fan threw on the ground, stood up and put it in his hand: "Really, but I think liking you is the most important thing in my life so far. The happiest thing is that you treat me like a dog."

"I didn't treat you like a dog." Bai Fan's voice trembled a little.

"It doesn't matter what you are." Lin Wen lowered his eyes, "It's not an important person anyway."

Bai Fan didn't seem to want to have this conversation with him anymore, he raised his hands a little irritably in a gesture of surrender, then slowly put them down, and patted the seam of his trouser legs heavily.He said for a while: "Tell me why you are short of money."

"Do you really care about me, or do you really care about this answer?" Lin Wen said.

"I'll find out if you don't tell me!" Bai Fan was still angry, and his voice was a little raised.

Lin Wen shook his head and pushed him away: "Then you go and check, I still have something to do."

"What's the matter?" Bai Fan asked behind him.

"Advertising." Lin Wen looked back at him, "Advertising for sanitary napkins."

……

Lin Wen didn't dare to look back at Bai Fan, he actually regretted a million times after he finished speaking.

Of course he knew that accepting these ads that were available or not was undoubtedly asking for his own death, but he didn't have so many opportunities, and he didn't want to gamble on whether he would develop well in the future.The only thing he needs right now is this money, even if he kills the chicken to get the eggs, then he will pay for it himself.

He understands all the truths, but there is nothing he can do about it. The only truth he has understood since he was a child is to recognize the reality clearly and never live in a dream.

Bai Fan will be angry with him, and will never see him again.

Lin Wen exhaled, and slapped himself on the face twice: "Don't think too much, make money first!"
