dark crossing

Lunch is also done in town.

Chu Huainan bought a 300-year-old courtyard house from an ancient town in Zhejiang Province, and moved it to this cultural tourism town.

The pattern of four waters returning to the hall makes this courtyard for private receptions brightly lit and orderly opened and closed.

Shen Ting noticed that during the meal, Lu Xinghe was obviously in a trance, and put the food in the ashtray several times.

He looked suspiciously at Chu Huainan, and Chu Huainan shrugged at him, obviously not knowing what unpleasantness happened between Lin Youbandi and Lu Xinghe.

"Why do you only care about him? I didn't sleep well last night." The hateful capitalist whispered in his ear.

"You deserve it."

There was a TV on in the side hall where they were.

When he heard the news that "Shenzhen City implanted electronic chips for all pet dogs for free", Lu Xinghe even dropped the chopsticks in his hand in panic.He subconsciously raised his hand to touch the back of his neck.

Lin Youbandi signaled the waiter to turn off the TV, and pressed the back of his neck comfortingly with his hand, rubbing his thumb against the very inconspicuous small bump.

The gentle and worried expression was beyond words: "What's wrong?"

Lu Xinghe shook his head: "It's fine."

Lin Youban smiled: "You were too tired from filming several films in a row before, so I invited Huainan and A Ci to come here for a stroll. I took the initiative to ask for leave from the crew for you, which made you angry ?"

Lu Xinghe looked at his face, it was not a leave of absence, but a resignation.

Lin Youban left behind a group of staff who were busy rushing to catch up with the schedule, and forcefully took him away from the crew.

Facing the director's struggle to persuade him to stay, his tone was gentle but not negotiable: "The script was decided before the filming started. It is a breach of contract to make unauthorized changes in order to add scenes to the actress and add unnecessary plots."

"Mr. Lin, Xinghe agrees."

"Are you trying to shift all responsibility to him?"

"No, that's not what I meant."

"That's good." Lin Youban smiled at him: "If you have any problems, you can file a complaint."

"No, no, you're out of touch, how did you get to that point." The director vowed, "I'll change the script back immediately, and make sure it's exactly the same as the previous version!"

Lin Youband shook his head: "If you change it back, he won't act again." His attitude is kind but not humane: "Xinghe is too kind."

Speaking of Lu Xinghe, the man who smiled happily but always had a strong sense of distance, a gentle light flashed in his dark eyes: "As long as I don't agree with the job content, he won't do any of it. Don't try to persuade him to do those things in private." Boring, time-wasting stuff, he's different from other actors—"

The director gritted his teeth and interrupted him: "However, he was already in the group but temporarily abandoned the show because of a small change in the script! What a bad impact this will have on Lu Xinghe! The reputation in the industry has collapsed, and the favorability of passers-by has declined. He is so difficult to deal with. Maybe no good employer will dare to use him in the future! Have you thought about all this?"

Lin Yougui patted the director's shoulder affectionately: "When I'm talking, please don't interrupt." He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a pitiful expression as if mocking the other party's innocence: "Collapse of word-of-mouth? Decline in favorability? Any family Professional media will not report that he gave up acting. He is different from other actors, and he does not need other capital."

The director looked at him in astonishment.

Lin Youband looked back peacefully: "Instead of giving me lessons, it's better to worry about yourself. You have been fired, and a new director will take over the scene tomorrow morning. Has your producer notified you yet?" The god-like man suggested tactfully: "Change your career, you won't get any good dramas in the future. This career is more suitable for smart people, not for you."

It is said in the industry that Lin Youband is a model of the best broker.

Compared with many other staff in the circle who want to get some benefits from artists, he will neither be moved by red envelopes, nor will he be swayed by favors.Compared to his work partner, he is more like a tame and loyal dog, gently guarding Lu Xinghe's side.

When faced with cooperation that is beneficial to Lu Xinghe, he is easier to deal with than any other manager.Because he never cared about more or less reward.He is one of the few managers who truly plans for the future from the perspective of medium and long-term development of artists.

No matter how complicated the vanity fair is, he will remain unmoved in the face of any material temptation.

Under his protection, Lu Xinghe debuted for many years, but still maintained clear and proud eyes.

The indifference of his body is very rare in this circle that is penetrated by desire and soaked in glitz.

And this kind of temperament has a fatal fresh appeal to audiences who are used to seeing artists teasing and flattering.

To put it bluntly, the word "difficult to deal with" was written on Lu Xinghe's face, but for so many years, there was not a single piece of news about him playing big names.

On the contrary, the small details about him being cute in private, enthusiastic about public welfare, and fond of eating snacks have frequently appeared in the newspapers.

This is an era of entertainment to death and information explosion, and everyone lives in the atmosphere of public opinion created by capital.As an entertainment commodity with a strong personal nature, every aspect of an artist has been carefully adjusted by the team behind it.That is the illusory, gorgeous bubble that the manipulators create for the audience.

Whether it's an actor or a singer, as long as they enter the industry, the ups and downs of their stardom and the layout of their careers are, in the final analysis, just the result of the capital game behind them.

Attracting more audiences is their inherent goal and mission.

But Lu Xinghe is different.Lin Youban never thought about who he was going to attract, let alone please.

If possible, he wanted to keep him in a box that only belonged to him.

To eat, one must sit at his table.

If you want to sleep, you must sleep in his bed.

He knows that he is good, but he is good, as long as he alone knows it is enough.

"Are you crazy? Detention is against the law!" Lu Xinghe frowned in disgust when he first realized his secret thoughts.

Lin Youbi lowered his head and kissed his red and swollen lips devoutly: "Then will you cover me?"

Lu Xinghe, who once joked that he was willing to be a "covered prisoner" for him, was noncommittal, but actions were the best answer instead of words—he stepped back desperately, trying to stay away from this familiar yet unfamiliar man.

However, although the shackles on the wrists were long, they were limited in length. The metal chains were stretched straight, and when Lin Youbie pulled them hard, there was a crisp knocking sound.

Lin Youban looked at him sincerely, but Lu Xinghe only felt scared.

The chain held in the palm, because of the excessive force of the forcer, cut a deep bone wound in the palm of the hand.But Lin Youband didn't feel the pain. He gambled everything, and his attitude was more pious than a priest who swore an oath to the gods: "Xinghe, stay by my side forever. I will protect you and your family."

But Xinghe hesitated in horror, and took another step back.

Lin Youban could almost hear the wall of trust standing between them collapsing, and even his heartbeat was shattered into the sound of rubble falling off.

He stood alone and helpless in the ruins in his fantasy, and he waited for a long time without getting any response.

I had no choice but to sigh and change the phrase: "You can also leave, but I don't know what I will do to your family."

This is a hypothesis that leaves countless possibilities.

Ke Lu Xinghe almost immediately associated with the cruelest and dirtiest direction.

He trembled all over, and then couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward and grabbed his collar: "Lin Youbandit! You can't do this to me!"

Lin Youband couldn't cry, so he lowered his head and kissed the red corners of his eyes.

Different routes lead to the same goal, no matter.

He thought optimistically, but sighed miserably: "You know, I can."

At this moment, Lin Youband, who felt that he had nothing, felt exhausted.

In order to find Lu Xinghe who fled without authorization, he has not closed his eyes for three days and three nights.The temples were bulging and beating, and even when the eyes turned, there would be a tight pain in the mind, like a gear being stuck.

Prior to this, Lin Youband had just won the exclusive right to bet on "Xiaqiming Island".

The largest island in the South China Sea is open for bidding, and buyers are being invited to bid for the only license to operate a casino on the island.

As for this license, Lin Youband, who is determined to reorganize the gaming industry involved, is determined to obtain it.

His winning bid sparked dissatisfaction among the original license holders, who have received no fewer than two dozen death threats since winning the bid.

And at this juncture, Lu Xinghe, who was supposed to be filming the latest MV in Europe, suddenly disappeared.

When receiving the call, the bodyguard next to Lin Youband saw the boss's cold face for the first time.

This man is like a sharp sword that has lost its scabbard, bursting out with incomparable sharpness in an instant.He finally understood that the phrase "People block people, Buddhas block people" is not an exaggeration at all.

Lu Xinghe was found at the airport.

Holding the passport, he looked at Lin Youband in amazement, and for the first time clearly felt the violent anger emanating from this usually gentle man.

If he was calm enough, he would definitely be able to spot Lin Youband's haggardness.

Because of restlessness and lack of sleep, his dark eyes were sunken, and even a blue beard appeared on his chin.

Lin Youbandi, who was lost and found again, hugged him fiercely, with such strength that he was about to be crushed.

In the warm embrace, Lu Xinghe trembled instinctively, and the other party's sinister eyes seemed to tear him apart.It made him feel that what was looking at him was not his lover, but an irritated male alpha wolf.

He turned his head and tried to ask the police at the airport for help, but the black bodyguard beside Lin Yougui greeted him familiarly before him.

Lu Xinghe took a step back in despair. He stared at Lin Youban's face in fear, but his mouth and nose were covered from behind without protection, and he fell into a dark and sweet sleep.

When he woke up again, he was already lying on Lin Youband's bed.

Lu Xinghe didn't know how long he had slept, but he only knew that the back of his neck was numb and he felt a strong foreign body sensation under his skin.He tried to reach out and feel it, but found that there were heavy shackles on his wrists.

"Don't touch it, it's a surgical wound and it hasn't fully healed yet." Lin Youbie said flatly.

He had an electronic chip implanted in him.

This specially customized chip can not only check the identity of the wearer, but also conduct financial transactions and GPS positioning in specific institutions.

Lu Xinghe couldn't believe it, and sat up all of a sudden.Ignoring the dizziness of weightlessness, he asked angrily, "Why did you do this to me!"

Lin Youband turned his back to him, his slightly raised neck line, like a swan entering the water.

"Feel sorry."

He had to do this, he was his only weakness, and he couldn't tolerate any mistakes.

Lin Youban turned his head, his red eyes were as gentle as if he had cried.

"Do you know it's wrong?"

"Where did I go wrong!" Lu Xinghe smiled coldly.

Lin Youban pulled the chain and bit his lips hard, with frenzied force, and soon the sweet smell of blood burst out from the tip of his tongue.

"Do you know it's wrong?" He asked again.

Weaknesses, everyone has weaknesses.

When he took out the photos of Lu Xinghe's family, Lin Youban was so desperate that he almost bit the tip of his tongue.

despicable.He scolded himself in his heart.However, in the face of his lover, Lin Youbandi, who is omnipotent in the eyes of outsiders, is already at the end of his rope.

Threatened, Lu Xinghe held on to the bed frame and retched, the conflict between the coldness in his heart and the heat in his body was maddening.He let the strange lover wedge into his body, he was out of breath, clutching the bed sheet and crying and confessing his mistakes, but he was absolutely unwilling to climb the shoulders of the man in front of him again.

"I was wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

……

Yes, what is wrong?

The fault is, at this time, I still love you shamefully.

Lu Xinghe will never forget that day, when Lin Youbie kissed the back of his hand tenderly, his voice was as soft as snow falling on his ears.

"From today, you can go out anytime. But if you 'forget' the way back, I will pick you up wherever you are."
