alternate performance

After staying in Wei City for half a year, Xu Chenhe finally returned to Cheng'an City. Although he didn't live here for a long time, he would always miss it as his temporary stable place.

Gu Congran sent someone to pick him up, and the car drove away from the airport. Xu Chenhe reclined on the seat with his muscles and bones softened, his drooping eyelashes filled with fine pieces of autumn sun, which was particularly pleasing to the eye.

The driver asked in front, "Mr. Gu, which direction are you going?"

"Fujinyuan," Gu Congfang said softly, "send him home first."

The house in Fujinyuan, Gu Congran, called Gu's housekeeper to clean it on time, so even though Xu Chenhe went out to film in those days, there was no dust in the house.

Pushing the suitcase to the side of the sofa, Xu Chenhe couldn't bear the sleepiness, and jumped on it only two steps away from the bed, and two slippers fell off his feet one after another.

Gu Congran arched him inward, and shook off the thin quilt to cover his belly: "I wanted to call you back to the court, but I pushed it for you."

Pushing away Gu Congran's hands rubbing his face, Xu Chenhe didn't even move his closed eyelids: "Are you working again?"

"Do you know the All-Stars Festival?" Gu Congran asked, "It's the same as the Reputation Festival, which honors outstanding artists of the year."

Xu Chenhe was about to fall asleep, and he forced himself to answer: "I know, are you going to walk the red carpet again?"

"More than that," Gu Congran said, "This time you are going to win an award."

Xu Chenhe opened his eyes all of a sudden, and his drowsiness was blown away by these words: "What award?"

"Popular male artist." Gu Congran said with a smile.

"Not the best actor?" Xu Chenhe adjusted his face-up posture, "Is there a big gap compared with four years ago?"

"Your drama hasn't been released yet, so what's the best actor?" Gu Congran picked up the remote control to help him turn on the air conditioner, "For this matter, there are five nominations, and if there is no accident, it will be yours." Alright, you have time to go to the company tomorrow to understand the process with the court, and he will send you to the venue the day after tomorrow."

Gu Congran's birthday was two days away from the All-Stars Ceremony. When Xu Chenhe was filming in the group, he had been thinking about going back to Chengcheng City to start preparing Gu Congran's birthday present after the filming.

On the day of the ceremony, Gu Congran did not accompany him. Xu Chenhe had experience, and he was able to calmly walk on the red carpet alone.

He was wearing a black suit with vertical stripes that Gu Congran helped to match. He had a brooch with a broken star tassel on his chest. According to Gu Congran, it was inconvenient to wear anklets in front of everyone, so he used this instead of Xinghe's. sign.

This time the host was not so easy to fool. Seeing him attending the grand ceremony alone, he asked: "Jiang Hua has walked the red carpet alone very few times. May I ask why you didn't attend with Mr. Gu this time?"

Having been in the entertainment circle for a long time, Xu Chenhe has learned a little bit of tact in communication: "Always appearing hand in hand with him will make many new friends who don't know our relationship mistakenly think that I am relying on sugar daddy, so I just leave him at home this time." Watch the live broadcast."

The host then asked the second question: "Not long ago, there were various rumors on the Internet that you and Mr. Gu were at odds. What's your comment on this?"

Xu Chenhe pursed his lips and smiled: "It's been a long time not long ago. I was surprised to see some netizens thinking about it like this. I can only say that the relationship between my husband and I has always been unabated. I hope everyone will support me." Pay more attention to my new work outside of my private life."

The red carpet session is over, and the most anticipated awards ceremony is scheduled to open on time at [-]:[-] p.m.The program performance and the awarding session interspersed with each other. When Xu Chenhe was drowsy, he heard the host say "popular male artist".

Xu Chenhe immediately sat up straight, and the camera swept across his face in the next second.Jiang Hua's name popped out from the mouths of the award presenters, and the surrounding applause was raging. Xu Chenhe left his seat with a smile, and walked to the stage with his back straight.

Holding the weighty trophy in his hand, the flashing lights in front of the stage were everywhere, and Xu Chenhe pulled himself out of his daze.Compared with the bright stage, the audience is dark, and every face appears blurred.However, on the contrary, the cheering light board with the words "Jiang Hua" printed on it held up by the fans present was dazzling and beautiful.

The trophy almost slipped from his hands, not because of its weight, but because Xu Chenhe was holding an honor that did not belong to him.

Knowing the official words of thanks by heart, Xu Chenhe calmly thanked the company, seniors, and fans, then bent down and bowed to everyone in the audience—with a feeling of shame in his heart.

The awards ceremony lasted for four hours without a break. After the end, Zhu Huiting drove Xu Chenhe home, and saw the person in the co-pilot lowering his head and fiddling with the trophy in his hand all the way.

"Have you never won an award before?" Zhu Huiting asked.

Xu Chenhe touched the lettering on the trophy: "I have never won such a heavyweight."

"There will be more opportunities in the future." Zhu Huiting said with a smile.

In the early hours of the morning, there were very few vehicles on the road outside Fujinyuan, so Zhu Huiting pulled over and parked, but did not lock the door.He was addicted to cigarettes, but he didn't touch the cigarette case, and raised his hand to turn off the music: "I have something to say."

"If you can see the fire through the eyes, you." Xu Chenhe said.

Zhu Huiting's cell phone rang, and when he connected, Su Yuyou's voice came from inside: "Husband, how long are you going to let me stay alone in the empty boudoir? Are you in love outside?"

Xu Chenhe looked over suddenly, thinking to himself that this child really let go.

Zhu Huiting was calm: "Shut up, I'll let you, Mr. Jiang, talk about things."

"What's the matter of talking for so long, Ren Gu can't drive you away?"

Zhu Huiting said leisurely: "Do you think everyone is jealous like you?"

After hanging up the line, Zhu Huiting shrugged: "You heard me, if you are not decisive, I will go back late and have to bother trying to coax people."

"I haven't figured it out yet," Xu Chenhe was about to crush the trophy with his nervousness, "Brother Zhu, where do you stand with Mr. Gu?"

"Don't you really split up?" Zhu Huiting cast a suspicious look.

Xu Chenhe quickly waved his hands: "That's not the case."

"That depends on who is right," Zhu Huiting said, "I am very fair."

"Forget it, I'll think about it when I get home." Xu Chenhe patted the car door, "Please open the lock."

Zhu Huiting grabbed him and said, "Stop fucking talking, I'll stand by your side, okay?"

"Didn't you just say you were fair?" Xu Chenhe sat upright again.

Zhu Huiting was very shameless: "Gossip has gained the upper hand."

After doubts lingered in his heart for a long time, Xu Chenhe cut straight to the point in front of Zhu Huiting: "I suspect that Jiang Hua and I... are brothers."

Zhu Huiting, who was in a listening posture, was stunned: "Xu Chenhe, don't talk nonsense."

Aware of the change in Zhu Huiting's mood, Xu Chenhe was glad that he chose to tell the other party about it first: "I won't talk nonsense about things that have no basis."

Leaving aside his personal feelings, he told the whole story of his family situation, and then he raised the question from last time: "So I want to know where Jiang Hua was abducted. If it is really in my hometown, it will prove my guess. That's right."

In the driver's seat, Zhu Huiting propped his forehead and pondered for a long time. He was in a state of shock and suspicion, and couldn't think of a good solution for a while: "This matter...is very serious."

"So you must not tell Mr. Gu." Xu Chenhe emphasized that he was afraid that the friendship between Zhu Huiting and Gu Congran for more than ten years would betray him.

"How about that," Zhu Huiting crossed his fingers on the steering wheel, "Someday I'll take you to the place where Jiang Hua used to live and ask."

"The mother-in-law who raised Jiang Hua?" Xu Chenhe asked.

Zhu Huiting shook his head: "My mother-in-law passed away a few years ago, we can only ask her neighbors."

Returning home with a complicated mood, Xu Chenhe sat in the living room and fiddled with his mobile phone for a long time. He was upset and didn't know what he saw. When Gu Congran called, he answered it without any hassle: "Mr. Gu."

"Can't you call me something nice?" Gu Congran had just returned to Qiuchi Villa after get off work, and was respectfully called "Mr. Gu" in the company all day long. Now he wanted to chat with Xu Chenhe but was still rejected The employee on the other side is yelling like a boss, which is very annoying.

What Su Yuyou said to Zhu Huiting on the phone lingered in Xu Chenhe's mind. He felt that he was bewildered by a series of recent troubles, so he simply opened the floor-to-ceiling windows and went to the balcony to blow air: "Then you What do you want me to call you?"

"It's fine." Gu Congran said.

"Then Boss Gu?"

"Is there a difference between the two?"

The phoenix on the windowsill was a little listless, Xu Chenhe picked up the watering can and sprayed them with water: "Do you know what you look like?"

"I don't know." Gu Congran had been busy working all day, so he didn't want to use his brain at this time.

Xu Chenhe said: "You are like my college roommate who asks me every day what takeaway is for lunch and dinner. I made suggestions and they gave a lot of opinions."

Every time Xu Chenhe mentioned his study days, Gu Congran was very interested: "What happened later, how to solve it?"

"Later, I took a pot and went back to cook for myself." Xu Chenhe leaned on the guardrail.

Gu Congran laughed, as if he could picture the image of Xu Chenhe when he was studying in his mind.After laughing, he returned to the topic: "Tonight, congratulations on winning the award."

This was Xu Chenhe's first award after entering the entertainment industry under the name of Jiang Hua, but he was not very happy about it.What he cares about is his performance on stage, whether his performance is not perfect, whether he reveals his secrets, and whether he hides Xu Chenhe's personal traces.

"Do you think my performance is okay?" Xu Chenhe asked.

Gu Congran affirmed: "Yes, it's natural. Your look probably fascinated my mother, and I said I want to see you."

Xu Chenhe almost missed and threw the watering can downstairs: "Huh?"

"I made my own promise for you," Gu Congran couldn't see Xu Chenhe's face, but could imagine the other's dazed expression, "Just this Saturday, come home with me, okay?"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chenhe stood on the balcony and blew the night wind at the end of October for a long time.Saturday is Gu Congran's birthday, and he knows what it means to go home with Gu Congran on this day.

The cool wind felt chilly after blowing for a long time, Xu Chenhe pushed open the glass door and returned to the room, his eyes touched the trophy on the coffee table, he bent over and took it back into his hand.

Looking around the room, he walked directly to the marble dining table and stroked the unique design of the trophy with his left hand.

The polished artificial crystal is smooth to the touch, and the value of a trophy does not lie in whether its materials are expensive, but in the honor that few people can match.

But now, he wants to destroy this honor that does not belong to him, and then integrate into the shadow of Gu Congran's sweetheart, and send it back to the other side.

Xu Chenhe raised his hand to hold up the trophy, and then dropped it heavily!

There was only a loud sound of heavy objects hitting each other, and the body of the cup slammed against the edge of the table, and the beautifully shaped artificial crystal broke into large and small crystal fragments and fell on the spotless oak floor.
