Battle of the Entertainment Circle

"Do more exercise during the day to maintain a good mood, soak your feet before going to bed, listen to some soothing light music, drink a glass of red wine or milk, and put a few drops of lavender essential oil on the pillow when you sleep."

Wei Ning looked at the WeChat that suddenly lit up on the screen, a little confused, and turned back: "What is this?"

"A cure for insomnia."

"I've tried everything, but it doesn't work..."

Shen Yaoxiang sighed lightly: "Have you taken the medicine?"

"I just came back from the hospital, now I'm in bed, so boring┬_┬"

Wei Ning has been ill for several days, except for going to the hospital every day for IV drips and lying at home, all relying on constant WeChat messages with Shen Yaoxiang to pass the time, since that night, the two of them seem to have suddenly drawn closer The distance has become familiar and intimate, and the words are no longer as polite and unfamiliar as before. The subconscious care and dependence linger between the two people's back and forth words, but the two people who are fascinated by the authorities have ignored the meaning in it.

Shen Yaoxiang is very busy with work every day, and he will join the filming team in Japan in one week, there is a lot of preparation to be done, but as long as it is a message from Wei Ning, no matter how busy he is, he will reply as soon as possible.

In fact, that night Wei Ning sat in front of his parents' house until early in the morning and he himself caught a cold. Fortunately, he was in good health and he was fine after taking the medicine for two days. Woke up that night's behavior was really impulsive but he didn't regret it, being able to be by Wei Ning's side when he was sick, even if Wei Ning didn't know, he felt very satisfied.

"It's still early, let's watch TV for a while, or get some sleep, are you feeling better?"

"It's much better than the previous two days. I plan to go back to my home tomorrow."

"Go back? Isn't it good to be at your parents' house? You are sick and need someone to take care of you. You can't even eat alone when you go back."

"That's better than staying here and being nagged by my mother every day. You can order takeaway for dinner."

"There's too much MSG out there, try to eat as little as possible while you're still sick."

"...I'd better go to sleep."

"Well, Ann."

After 10 minutes, wechat sent again: "I still can't sleep m(___)m"

Shen Yaoxiang couldn't help but feel distressed at the same time, the assistant girl beside him asked him curiously: "Brother Xiang, are you in a relationship yet?"

Shen Yaoxiang raised his head and looked at her in surprise: "No, why do you say that?"

"I see you've been holding your phone in your hands for the past few days..." It's been almost an hour since getting in the car, and you're still sending WeChat messages, giggling, sighing, and frowning again, saying that you're not in a relationship Who would believe it...

"It's just chatting with friends," Shen Yaoxiang answered her calmly, after thinking about it, he asked again: "Do you know of any cure for insomnia?"

"Insomnia? Brother Xiang, are you insomnia?"

"It's not me, it's my friend."

"That's it." The little girl rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "The most effective way for me is to let my boyfriend hug me, and I won't suffer from insomnia when I lie in his arms."

"..." is completely irrelevant.

Seeing his reaction with a paralyzed face, the little girl covered her mouth for fun, laughed enough and finally answered him seriously: "Or listen to lullabies, the ones I used to listen to when I was a child, it's useful."

Shen Yaoxiang pursed his lips after hearing this, and returned to Wei Ning: "Why don't you find some lullabies and try to listen to them?"

"Lullaby...?"

"Listen to others that it is useful, try it."

"Can you sing it to me?"

After pressing send, Wei Ning realized that he had said the wrong thing. Afraid that Shen Yaoxiang would think too much, he quickly sent another one: "I'm just joking."

After 1 minute, the other side came back: "What do you want to hear?"

******

On the second day after moving back to the apartment where he lived alone, Luo Ming called to say that he had invited Wei Ning to have a meal to celebrate his birthday. A bottle of good red wine was given as a gift, and I went to the restaurant Luo Ming ordered as agreed.

It was just completely beyond his expectation that what he thought would be a scene where many people he knew or didn't know gathered together, turned out to be only him. The entire restaurant was booked out by Luo Ming, and he was the only one invited.

Wei Ning felt uncomfortable from the moment he sat down. The candlelight flickered in the dim dining room, and the atmosphere was too ambiguous, which made him feel very awkward, and for a while he couldn't figure out what Luo Ming meant.

Luo Ming accepted his gift with a smile, called the waiter to open the wine, and asked him, "Are you feeling better?"

He was out of town for the past few days, and he also called Wei Ning to greet him every day. Wei Ning frowned imperceptibly: "It's already much better, by the way, why don't you call more people?"

"Isn't it just the two of us?" Luo Ming looked at him with a smile.

"... There are more people and more lively?"

"You're not in good health yet. If there are too many people arguing, I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable. It's fine for the two of us to have a quiet meal."

These words sound a bit weird, but seeing Luo Ming acting as if it should be the way it should be, Wei Ning couldn't say much, and wanted to ask him what he was doing, but he hesitated After a while, he swallowed it all back.

The exquisite dishes in the high-end restaurant, and there are people playing the violin to create the atmosphere, but Wei Ning has no appetite at all. He patiently chats and laughs with Luo Ming, but in fact he is already on pins and needles.

"Why don't you eat? Is the food not to your liking?"

"No...it's pretty good." Wei Ning lowered his head and reluctantly took a bite. Today is Luo Ming's birthday, and he really didn't want him to be spoiled.

"Then eat more."

After a meal, Wei Ning was sweating all over his body. Finally, when the plate was put away and the cake was brought to the table, he forced a smile on his face and signaled to Luo Ming, "Please make a birthday wish."

Through the candlelight, Luo Ming looked at him with a smile, but smiled again without saying a word. I don't know how many times Wei Ning felt that strange discomfort in his heart tonight. It was strange enough for two big men to celebrate their birthdays like this. Especially Luo Ming's smiling expression at the moment made him feel inexplicably embarrassed.

"Hurry up and make a wish."

Originally, it was just his words to cover up his discomfort, but the corners of Luo Ming's mouth raised even more when he heard the smile: "Do you really want to know my birthday wish?"

Seeing his fiery eyes, Wei Ning suddenly had some bad premonitions in his heart, and he lowered his eyes to avoid it cleverly: "Just rest assured that birthday wishes will not work if you say them out."

"It's okay, I want to say it."

As Luo Ming said, he stretched out his hand to cover Wei Ning's hand that was also on the dining table, and said slowly and firmly before he broke away: "My birthday wish is to be with you, not to be friends but to be lovers .”

Although he already had a premonition just now, Wei Ning was still stunned, more embarrassing, he withdrew his hand without a trace, and said: "Don't make such a joke..."

"I'm not kidding. I like you. I liked you a long time ago. I couldn't give you anything before, so I have been working hard. I want to tell you when I am worthy of you. Can you give me a chance? ?”

"...I am a man." Wei Ning reminded him helplessly.

"Is it okay to be a man? You can't accept homosexuality?"

"I……"

When Wei Ning opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say, saying that homosexuality is not acceptable?How could it be possible, he himself also likes men, but in fact, ever since he fell in love with Shen Yaoxiang when he was young, he has never seen anyone else in his eyes, no matter man or woman, no one else has fascinated him, so at first glance Hearing Luo Ming's confession, he really didn't know what to say, it was impossible to accept it, but after all, they were friends for more than ten years, and he really didn't want to embarrass him too much.

"I never thought about such a thing." Wei Ning frowned slightly: "I have always regarded you as a good brother, and I have never thought about anything else."

"What do you think now?"

"...Luo Ming, you better not waste your time on me."

******

After getting out of the restaurant and taking a taxi, Wei Ning almost ran away, Luo Ming's last sentence "I will not give up" still lingered in his ears, but he could only smile wryly, he couldn't help but think of himself and Shen Yaoxiang expressing his heart back then, Does he also think that he is like this now, embarrassing and helpless, and in the end he simply avoids seeing him.

Just thinking about this, the phone screen suddenly lit up, and it was a voice and message from Shen Yaoxiang: "I'm sorry, I promised you that the lullaby has been delayed until now, and the singing is not good, so you can make do with it."

Wei Ning was stunned for a moment, he was just joking casually that day, he didn't expect Shen Yaoxiang to take it seriously, his mood suddenly improved inexplicably, he paid the money and got off the car halfway, and walked to the side of the street to do greening Sit down on the bench you brought, and press the voice button.

"Twinkle twinkle little stars, how I wonder where you are……"

Shen Yaoxiang's deep and slightly magnetic voice slowly sang nursery rhymes, but there was a fatal attraction. He listened to it over and over again, repeating it constantly, smiling like a fool.

"I don't think this is very useful..."

Shen Yaoxiang's WeChat message came in again, Wei Ning replied with a smile: "You look like my dad///▽///"

"what?"

"Papa can you sing twinkle twinkle litter star……"

Shen Yaoxiang looked at the text on the screen and couldn't laugh or cry: "...If you don't want to hear it, just delete it."

Of course not, Wei Ning hesitated, and replied: "Didn't you say you invited me to dinner another day last time? How about now? Treat me to supper."
