Burning Heart[ABO]

Another half month later, a sex scandal suddenly spread all over the Internet.

A young [-]-line actor under Shengxing who has just signed a contract posted a microblog, complaining and reporting Deng Jialai, the former deputy dean of his alma mater's film academy, for sexual harassment, and threatened to withhold degree certificates and graduation certificates and block network resources to force students to engage in sex trafficking .

The evidence listed is not only multiple WeChat chat records, but also secretly recorded videos and audios. One stone caused a lot of waves. Afterwards, people in various real-name and anonymous gossip forums broke the news one after another. , Among them are popular artists who have become famous now, what's more, the incident of a film school student jumping off a building a few years ago was also found out, and it was accused of being persecuted by Deng Jialai.

The incident was lively for two days. As more and more evidence emerged, some people soon spontaneously organized to report to the relevant departments.

Two days later, Deng Jialai was suspended for investigation.

When Ye Huaian's call came, Ye Huaining was discussing with someone in the office about resubmitting the previous film for trial, and he just pressed the answer after finishing the business at hand.

Ye Huai'an's malicious laughter came: "Ningning, I heard that you have troubled Uncle Wu to help you with something? Just to deal with the director of a TV bureau?"

Ye Huaining said coldly, "Is it related to you?"

"Aren't I concerned about my brother, afraid that you will get into trouble outside?"

Ye Huaining didn't appreciate it.

Uncle Wu is their father's secretary. He did say hello to someone and asked him to help communicate with him. Deng Jialai fell so quickly.But that old bastard surnamed Deng is still cheap, the evidence is not enough for him to go to jail.

"Ning Ning, why don't you ask Brother for something you want? Brother can help you with such a small matter, so why bother outsiders?"

"Ye Huai'an, is there something wrong with you?"

After leaving this sentence, Ye Huaining hung up the phone directly.

Ji Rao has been rushing to film during this time, and he doesn't even have time to surf the Internet. The matter of Deng Jia's arrival was still discussed on the set, and he asked his assistant to find out what happened outside.

When Ye Huaining sent him another message, he casually mentioned this matter to Ye Huaining and asked him: "You really did it?"

Ye Huaining generously admitted: "Yes."

Ji Rao reminded him: "You are so obvious, even if Deng Jia comes down and can't take revenge on you, it will inevitably make other people feel uncomfortable, and there are some popular artists involved in this incident. Once these people's reputation is damaged, they And the people behind them may blame you, I'm afraid Sheng Xing will not be easy in the industry in the future."

"Oh."

Ji Rao wanted to say something, but another message was sent: "Is my Alpha worried about me? But who am I doing this for?"

Forget it.

With Ye Huaining's back to Ye Shi, he is not afraid of offending anyone at all.

Ye Huaining changed the subject: "Your birthday is the day after tomorrow, shall we celebrate it together? Can you ask for leave and come back?"

"I'm going to record a show tomorrow, so I can only ask for one day off, let's talk about it later."

Ye Huaining is not happy, why is it such a coincidence: "Xingxing Ji is really busy."

Ji Rao replied smoothly: "I'm not born as lucky as Mr. Ye, so I can only work harder."

The next day, Ji Rao asked for leave from the crew again to record the third performance of that talent show.

Before the recording started, the backstage of the studio was in chaos, and all the trainees were busy doing makeup and hair, and seized the last time to practice dance moves.Ji Rao came late and went straight to his lounge, but on the way, he saw Lin Chen sitting alone in the corner of the corridor in a daze.

Lin Chen had already done his makeup and hair, and the delicate makeup couldn't hide the haggard look on his face. Ji Rao subconsciously stopped in his tracks and looked at him silently.

Lin Chen seemed to be aware of it, and turned his head to look in Ji Rao's direction.

The two of them stared at each other silently across the half-way corridor and the chaotic crowd, until a staff member went over to talk to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen looked away, Ji Rao regained his composure, and strode towards the lounge.

When putting on makeup, a staff member came in to explain the matter, and it happened to be the one who went to talk to Lin Chen just now. Ji Rao asked casually, "What's wrong with Lin Chen? Why does he look so bad?"

The staff member shook his head and said, "He has a fever. I just gave him some medicine and asked him to drink more hot water. He insisted on going on stage to perform. It's unlucky enough that we happened to hit him."

Ji Rao couldn't help frowning: "Is it serious?"

"It's more than 38 degrees, it's really not good, wait for him to see the situation after the performance, and then send him to the hospital."

After Ji Rao put on his makeup and changed his clothes, soon someone came to ask him to go to the studio first.

By the time of the third performance, the entire program had entered a feverish stage, and the remaining trainees had gained a certain amount of popularity. The performance site was crowded with people. At first glance, the most numerous fans were Xu Yinxing's fans under Shengxing.

The recording has not yet officially started, and a group of tutors are already in place. The older vocal tutor turned around and glanced at the auditorium behind him, and whispered a joke to Ji Rao next to him: "Look, Xu Yinxing's popularity is almost as good as yours back then. , I remember that when recording the public performance, half of the studio was filled with your fans, and now this Xu Yinxing is also like this, do you feel a sense of crisis?"

Ji Rao smiled and said, "I'm the same boss as him, and I'm happy to see him become popular."

He was a little absent-minded, and looked towards the corner where the trainees were sitting a few times.

Lin Chen's spirit seemed to be very bad, he hardly talked to anyone, and seemed to be holding on all the time, but his group was ranked second to last, so he could only wait.

It took more than two hours before it was finally Lin Chen's turn to play.

Although Lin Chen is a vocalist, everyone in the performance group is seeking to break through themselves. He chose the dance position. The dance music they chose was not easy. Ji Rao knew that he practiced until two or three o'clock in the morning almost every day. , just to perform better today.

It happened that such a situation happened temporarily.

The lights in the studio were too dazzling and bright, and the voices were too loud and noisy. The people under the spotlight were completely out of shape. They almost completed their part instinctively like sleepwalking, and almost made mistakes several times.

After Lin Chen's performance ended, Ji Rao's brows that were unconsciously frowned slowly relaxed.

Everyone present could tell that Lin Chen was not in the mood. When it was the instructor's turn to comment, Ji Rao picked up the microphone and spoke for the first time, explaining to Lin Chen: "I just heard from the staff in the background that you have a high fever and insist on Are you going to play?"

Lin Chen nodded and apologized to his instructor and the audience: "Sorry, I didn't behave well."

There was an uproar off the field.

Because of this, several mentors did not embarrass Lin Chen, but instead praised him for his spirit of insisting on playing while sick, and his ranking in the audience vote was not bad.

At 10:30, the program recording ends.

Ji Rao returned to the rest room. When he was taking off his makeup, he turned on his phone. There was a WeChat message from Ye Huaining an hour ago, asking him if it was over and if he could go back.

Ji Rao was a little tired, closed his eyes, and didn't reply.

When he was leaving, he ran into the staff member who told him about Lin Chen's situation before. Before Ji Rao could ask, the other party told him: "Lin Chen said that taking medicine is enough, and he refuses to go to the hospital. He should have returned by now. The dormitory is gone."

Ji Rao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

He received a WeChat message from Lin Chen.

"Ji Rao, can we meet alone? I'll wait for you in the stairwell where I met once before, and it won't take you too long."

Ji Rao hesitated a little, and sent his assistant and stylist away first.

Lin Chen was indeed in the stairwell, sitting on the ground with his head resting on one leg, motionless. The light from the window in the stairwell fell on him, and he hid himself in the dark shadow.

Ji Rao stopped behind him, Lin Chen seemed to sense it, and turned to look at him: "You're here."

The voices are dumb.

Ji Rao frowned: "Why don't you go to the hospital or go back to rest if you have a high fever?"

Lin Chen stood up, looked at him and smiled, took out a gift box from his coat pocket, and handed it to Ji Rao: "The gift I brought you when I returned to China, I forgot to give it to you before, it happens to be your birthday tomorrow, give it to Ji Rao for you."

Seeing that Ji Rao didn't reach out his hand, he said in a softer voice, "Ji Rao, take it."

Ji Rao took the item and opened it in front of Lin Chen. It was a lighter with a unique shape.

When they were still in their hometown, he saw this in a magazine, and casually told Lin Chen that he would definitely buy one when he had money, and Lin Chen remembered it until now.

Ji Rao said "thank you", put the lighter back into the box, and put it in his pocket.

Lin Chen said "Happy Birthday" again, and the two fell silent at the same time.

After a while of silence, Ji Rao's cell phone rang. It was Ye Huaining's call. Ji Rao didn't answer it, so he just hung up.

He said to Lin Chen, "Go back to rest early", and turned to leave. Lin Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed his sleeve with slightly trembling fingers.

There was sobs in the hoarse voice, and Lin Chen, who took a step forward, was already standing under the light, and the light illuminated the corner of his red eye and the mole on the left corner of the eye.

"Ji Rao, don't we even have to be friends? Why are you so indifferent to me?"

"I have been thinking about you every day for the past five years. I open the WeChat dialog with you every night and read our previous chat records over and over again, but I dare not send you messages or contact you for fear of being caught by you again. reject."

"I decided to go back to China to do this business. Do you really not know why?"

Ji Rao's breathing was a little heavy, he didn't look into Lin Chen's eyes, and his voice was hoarse again: "Lin Chen, don't be like this, I'm not as good as you think, really not."

"Did my dad look for you back then? But it was that year, and now we have grown up, I can choose the life I want, why do you still push me away?"

"Did you really, never like me at all?"

Ji Rao remained silent.

The light in Lin Chen's eyes dimmed little by little, and he slowly let go of Ji Rao's sleeve.

When Lang Hao wanted to escape, the man suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled him back.

Hugged him hard.
