Improv [Rebirth]

Uncle Li used to be the driver of Chen Yan's father, and he started working in their family when Chen Yan was not very old, watching him grow up.Later, the Chen family's fortunes fell to the point where they were going to sell their property. Uncle Li also helped to find buyers everywhere.

"Why are you here?" Chen Yan pulled him to sit on the bench, and the girl next to him moved her bag in dissatisfaction.

"My son works in Beijing. Anyway, I have no place to go. It's the same everywhere. I just came here and now I'm running a long distance." Uncle Li looked at him, "Are you okay now?"

"Very good." Chen Yan smiled.

"Oh..." Uncle Li hesitated to speak. Chen Kezhuang told him to hide it from Chen Yan at the beginning. He didn't know how much the child knew about the family situation now.

Chen Yan saw his hesitation and said, "Uncle Li, I went home for the Spring Festival last year."

Uncle Li felt relieved: "I said I should tell you at the time, your father treats you like a child too much."

He grabbed Chen Yan's hand and looked left and right, the corners of his eyes were bent, and fine wrinkles appeared: "Life in Beijing is not easy, did the young master have any hardships?"

Chen Yan's nose was sour, and he suddenly wanted to complain to him, talking about the discomfort and inhumane thoughts of the past few years.

He barely held back, and said, "Call me Young Master, Uncle Li, we agreed to call him Xiaoyan."

"Yes, yes." The pair of unclear eyes looked at him kindly—it had been a long time since anyone looked at him like this.

"Then how are we Xiaoyan doing in Beijing? Have we been bullied?"

"Who can bully me? I'm living a good life. I have food and shelter. I just got a bonus a few days ago. When Uncle Li has time, I'll treat you and brother Li Wen to dinner."

"Okay!" Uncle Li patted him on the back, "I knew that Xiao Yan was better than you, Brother Li Wen, where do you live now?"

He mumbled a place name.

"That's a long way! What are you doing here? Oh, you want to go home?"

"Suddenly remembered something, I won't go back."

"Oh, then you have to go home and tell me, I'll take you. This car is full of people, it smells like sweat, it's dirty and torn, you can't bear it." Uncle Li whispered to him, He also regarded him as the young master from before.

Chen Yan nodded, and hugged him with open arms.

"Hey, I haven't taken a shower yet, you say you..."

Uncle Li scratched his head embarrassingly, and gently hugged him back, carefully, fearing that he would be broken.

They chatted until Uncle Li was about to start the car and said goodbye. Chen Yan stood outside the door and watched the car go away. Uncle Li was still waving to him from the window.

He is no longer the original him, which face should he use to face his old friend?

After a while, Hong Zizhen suddenly said that the actor was almost confirmed, and sent him a document, and the lead actor was Qi Andong.

"Didn't he not answer?" Chen Yan asked.

"I don't know which tendon is loose."

Hong Zizhen smiled with deep meaning, but he didn't bother to pursue it.

Chen Yan hung up the phone, covered his face with his hands and sighed.He and Qi Andong now see each other as little as possible, and they can avoid ten meters away from home and never enter nine meters.Qi Andong is going to play He Jianqing now, and he is almost out of breath just thinking about the future situation.

But Qi Anton still likes to speak without scruple outside, without hiding anything.

The more he thought about it, the more he had a headache. He had no choice but to take one step at a time.

They were so attached to each other, both tired of it, but neither of them said let go.Probably one is more dull than the other, and they all feel that the days of seemingly incongruity are not sad.

So tepid, another winter passed.

Qi Andong went abroad during the Spring Festival, but Chen Yan still returned home.Duan Rujin's condition gradually stabilized, and the doctor agreed to move back home for two days during the Chinese New Year. Chen Yan felt relieved, and his patience was not without rewards.

His family didn't know anything about him, and he only picked out some normal and interesting things about getting along with Han Tianzong and the others.On New Year's Eve, three people huddled together on a small sofa, surrounded by a pot of dumplings.The gala is getting uglier every year, and the TV is always on as usual, and no one watches it seriously.

Chen Yan was bored halfway through the old age, so he turned on his mobile phone and swiped Weibo.In the past two years, many people have used Weibo, and the overall popularity of this thing has brought the entertainment, film and television industry to a whole new level.

He brushed and stopped, and suddenly saw Qi Andong's name appearing in front of him.

"Xiao Yan, come and eat dumplings." His mother scooped up a dumpling and handed him the spoon.

He hurriedly put away his phone and went over to eat. The dumplings were filled with three delicacies and were quick-frozen. His mother is not very good at cooking.

"Is it delicious?" Duan Rujin asked expectantly, his face became depressed, "Oh, the ones bought in the supermarket, are they delicious?"

"It's delicious, Mom, try it." He swallowed the dumplings whole, his throat shivering.

On TV, Celine Dion was singing "My Heart Will Go On", and Duan Rujin listened carefully with a spoon.After the song ended, she asked Chen Yan without warning: "Xiao Yan, when are you going to find a girlfriend?"

The mobile phone Chen Yangang took out stopped halfway, looked at his father, and said, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"You also know about my illness..." She said halfway, feeling unlucky, and didn't continue, "Let me see the day you get married and have a baby earlier, so I can feel relieved."

"It's not gone yet... Besides, mom, you will definitely see the day when my hair turns gray!" Chen Yan looked at his father for help.

Chen Kezhuang knew that he liked men, but he didn't want to take on the porcelain job.On this festive occasion, he pretended not to see his son's gaze and gave his wife a bowl of dumplings.

Duan Rujin persisted: "Don't perfunctory me, I know you young people are bothered by this, but isn't it normal to get married and have children? After the new year, you will be 27, the boss is not young, what do you do all by yourself outside? look."

Chen Yan responded with a few words before Duan Rujin was attracted by Chen Kezhuang.

He breathed a sigh of relief, turned on his phone and continued watching.

There are a few blurry photos on Weibo. The person who took the photo said that he was in Switzerland and met Qi Andong by chance.A large group of fans followed her and asked her when it happened, where she was, and who she was with.

The blogger replied to the fans in the comments that Qi Andong was alone on the street today.

Weibo is like this, it quickly occupied the high ground as soon as it appeared, and became the fastest and most comprehensive communication channel.At the same time, it is also the platform that can ferment opinions the most. It is the thickest snow field that can turn any small snowflake into a big snowball;

In less than one night, the news that Qi Andong was alone abroad would become news.

Fireworks are banned in the city, but a place not far from Chen Yan's current home organizes fireworks festivals every year.However, the location of the living room is not good, and only one arm of the fireworks can be seen from the window.

Both Chen Kezhuang and Duan Rujin went to the balcony to watch the fireworks, while Chen Yan lay on the sofa, and clicked on the photos to enlarge them.

Qi Andong was really alone, walking on the street with a bag on his shoulders and drinking tea alone.He suddenly felt that he was quite pitiful, at least he still had his parents, but he had to flee abroad at 31 years old.

He smiled.

This Weibo was posted two hours ago, and Qi Andong's name is now in the search bar.As soon as Chen Yan entered, someone analyzed that he must be on vacation abroad with his girlfriend, and circled a red figure beside him with a small red circle.

Then someone asked the girl who posted the photo if she had read it wrong. In fact, Qi Andong was not alone.The girl insisted that she read it correctly, but the person who asked her didn't believe it, and the discussion with others was in full swing.

Chen Yan smiled as he watched, Qi Andong didn't have any girlfriend, he said that he could trust him a little bit.

There were sporadic fires outside the window, Chen Yan stared at it, and the countdown on the TV was about to begin.Looking down again, Qi Andong was still alone in the photo, standing among a group of foreigners.

Thousands of miles across the ocean, without friends and companions, unable to be a couple for a lifetime, it can be regarded as two places of ecstasy.

After the end of the new year and April, "See You in a High Building" didn't start.

When Chen Yan arrived on the set, Qi Andong was already wearing a white shirt, and his face was half makeup.He turned his face up and looked sideways when he heard the voice from afar.Chen Yan was swept away by the end of his eyes, and he couldn't move.

It's not that he resembles He Jianqing, what scares Chen Yan is that he still has half of Qi Andong, the one who slept with him and quarreled with him.

He walked over silently and said hello, but Qi Andong didn't speak, his painted eyes hooked up and down his face, and he raised his finger to point to the water on the table.

Chen Yan brought him water, looked at the makeup artist: "How do you drink it?"

Qi Andong shook his head slightly, and twisted his fingers.He got some paint on his fingertips, a little bright red.

He wants to wash his hands.

Chen Yan twisted the water away without a word, and poured it into his hand carefully.

This scene was indoors, in the theater building, and He Jianqing was taking off his makeup after singing, so Qi Andong didn't wear a mask, nor did he wear the costume outside.

Flower baskets were brought up one by one, followed by several plates of charming gold, silver and jewels, and the young disciples beside He Jianqing aimed their eyes at the pearl hairpins.He didn't dare to touch these, so he went to read the note on the flower basket, muttering something.

He Jianqing looked at the little apprentice behind him in the mirror, with a smile in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

"Master, I will send you flower baskets when I have money in the future. I will just support you and make many beautiful clothes for you."

The smile on He Jianqing's face suddenly turned into coldness, he put down the comb and stood up, the camera moved with him, walked quickly to the little apprentice, and slapped him on the hand.

The little apprentice stood there in a daze, a close-up shot, his wrists turned red.

Qi Andong put on a cold face: "There are some things you can't think about. In this life and in the next life, you will be a lowly citizen. You can't be a guest, and you can't praise others. Only others will praise you. Do you understand?"

"I don't understand!" The little apprentice put on a stubborn face, "I just want to sit in the audience and watch a show! I'll boo anyone who can't sing well. I'm not a lowly citizen!"

"You!" He Jianqing raised his hand high and was about to drop it, "Did I say that you are not allowed to think about what you shouldn't have? You are not allowed to dream and act honestly, or I will drive you out! Do you understand? ?!"

"I don't understand! I don't understand! I don't want to be like you, every day being—"

With a "pop", the slap landed on the little cheek.

After the director yelled, Qi Andong's eyes glanced up, and his eyes, which hadn't played yet, were directed at Chen Yan.

Do you understand?

He rubbed the little actor's head twice, walked to the side to rest, and didn't order Chen Yan to bring him tea and water, probably because he thought he was not as clever as an assistant.

Chen Yan sat on the set until midnight, occasionally discussing with Hong Zizhen and the actors to change two words, but he never changed Qi Andong's.

In the evening, Qi Andong was with other people, and Chen Yan went back by himself. When he reached the gate of the community, he suddenly saw a person who he hadn't seen for a long time and didn't expect to see him again.

Ning Zhixin came out of the guard room with tears in his eyes: "Brother Chen Yan, please help me."
