Battle of the Entertainment Circle

In late May, Wei Ning, who had finished all his tours in Japan, moved to several Southeast Asian countries to continue his concert tour. Shen Tingxiang would send him messages every morning and evening to greet him, remind him in the morning that the local weather today made him pay attention to heatstroke prevention, and wish him good night in the evening He had a dream, and when he was free, the two of them would keep in touch with each other on wechat, chatting about trivial matters, and they had almost formed a habit.

What exactly is Shen Tiaoxiang thinking? Although Wei Ning dare not say for sure, but his intuition tells him that Shen Tiaoxiang still treats him differently from others. In the past six months since their reunion, their relationship has become closer and even ambiguous. Looking at it, it doesn't look like the distance that ordinary friends should maintain. No ordinary friend will miss each other every day and keep asking each other for their care and attention. At least Wei Ning thinks he can't do it. Shen Tiexiang is a busy person like him, but he is willing to Spending so much time on him, maybe, it's really not that he's being self-indulgent.

But no matter what, Wei Ning still intends to be more cautious in view of the fact that he has already had a failed confession experience. At least he will make it clear to him in person after he finishes his current work and returns to China. If he fails this time... then he will give up .

In mid-June, the concert tour arrived in Singapore, and it will be over in ten days before going back. Wei Ning was in a good mood. On the second day after arriving in Singapore, he went out alone after the rehearsal.

In fact, Wei Ning is not as nerdy as he said, because he knows fewer people abroad, and whenever he goes to work in a city, he will find time to go out by himself and take some pictures of the scenery.Walking in the streets and alleys, occasionally taking a few street scenes, is the best way for him to relax.

The coffee shop on the street was full of aroma, Wei Ning walked by the door, stopped and opened the door to go in, ordered a cup of coffee and a small snack and chose a place by the floor-to-ceiling windows to slowly taste, leisurely watching the scenery outside the window.

A message from Shen Tiaoxiang came in asking what he was doing, Wei Ning smiled and took a picture of the coffee and snacks on the table and sent it: "Eat."

"one person?"

"Well, I can't find anyone to accompany me." In fact, he just doesn't like being followed.

"Ha, I'll accompany you next time I'm free, but are you afraid of gaining weight if you eat this?"

"I'm not a female artist, do I need to worry about my figure all day? And I can't get fat."

"Tsk..."

The two chatted back and forth, Wei Ning couldn't stop raising the corners of his mouth, his eyes were full of smiles, he lowered his head and pressed his phone intently, until someone came up to him and asked him softly: "Are you... Ning?"

Wei Ning's first reaction was that he was recognized by someone and met a fan, but when he raised his head, he was stunned. A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the woman in front of him: "It's really you?"

"...Xiao Rou?"

One person’s leisure time turned into two people’s reminiscing about old times, and a four or five-year-old boy sitting next to them devoured snacks and chatted for a while. The woman named Wei Xiaorou reminded him to eat while handing the child tissues. Slow down, with helplessness on his face, he smiled awkwardly at Weining: "Children are like this, they forget everything when they eat."

"you are married?"

Hearing this, the woman's eyes dimmed a little, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "No, he doesn't have a father."

Wei Ning was very surprised. Wei Xiaorou was actually his "first love girlfriend" in name. She used to be a senior sister of their company and was two years older than him. Wei Ning always remembered that she was a very gentle and beautiful woman. There were many people chasing after her, but she was the only one who secretly promised Shen Tiexiang. At that time, the brothers in the band always liked to boo her and Shen Tiexiang, and Shen Tiexiang and her were indeed getting closer. When she was together, Wei Ning simply took the initiative and chased her, making her his girlfriend.

At that time, I was too young to know how to deal with emotional problems, so I chose such a naive way. Now that I think about it, it is ridiculous. The so-called love with Wei Xiaorou is actually more like a play house. Wei Xiaorou tolerates him very much, like a sister Wei Ning also took care of him, and Wei Ning also liked her very much, but it was not the kind of liking between a man and a woman. The relationship between the two of them was limited to holding hands occasionally, but it lasted for a long time, until the company found out that they forced her They broke up, and because of this Wei Ning was scolded by other members of the band for stealing his brother's corner. In the end, it was Shen Tingxiang who came out and said he didn't mind and calmed down the incident.

However, he and Wei Xiaorou hadn't contacted each other for more than ten years. I didn't expect that when we met again, she would become a mother, but judging from her tone of voice and tired expression on her face, it could be seen that she was not doing well.

Wei Ning sighed for a while: "...how did this happen? Are you divorced?"

The woman shook her head, remained silent for a moment, and then said: "His father doesn't even know of his existence. I have never been married, and I had a child out of wedlock."

"……why?"

She frowned slightly, looked at the little boy who was buried in eating, and said with a wry smile: "I have been in love with his father for three years, and we have never seen the light. Later, I became pregnant. I wanted to ask him to marry me, but it turned out that he was married to someone else. Fortunately, I was on two boats and kept cheating on me. I didn’t tell him that I had a child and proposed to break up. A man came to Singapore and gave birth to him.”

Wei Ning frowned when he heard this: "Why are you so stupid? The child is not yours alone, he is also responsible, why let him go?"

"I love him... I don't want him to be ruined. He finally got where he is today. So many people praise him as a good man. I don't want him to be criticized by everyone because of me."

Wei Ning was taken aback for a moment, and a bad feeling suddenly surged in his heart: "You are talking about... an artist in the circle?"

The woman lowered her head, her eyes were red, and after a long while, she said slowly, "It's Lu Xiang."

As if being poured down by someone with a bucket of ice water from head to toe, Wei Ning almost blurted out: "Impossible, Lu Xiang is not that kind of person."

She lowered her eyes and said slowly: "I used to think he was not. We started dating and living together after he went to college. He never admitted me in front of people, even in front of friends. Later, after he starred in a movie and became popular Don't go home, I didn't find out that he was already with other female stars until I got pregnant."

Wei Ning's hand clenched the coffee cup so tightly that he almost crushed it, he clenched his lips and couldn't speak at all, he subconsciously looked at the little boy, not sure if it was a psychological effect, but if he looked carefully, there was indeed something between the eyebrows and Shen Yuxiang. Somewhat similar, the woman stirred the coffee in front of her, let out a sigh of relief, and changed her tone pretending to be relaxed: "Let's not talk about this, I'm actually living a pretty good life now, and it's not impossible to support him alone." Live, I didn't expect to meet you suddenly, and it's embarrassing to say these things, forget it if you've heard about it... and about the child, please don't tell him."

"Why?" Wei Ning raised his voice a little, inexplicably angry: "It's his child, shouldn't he be responsible? Why do you only think about him and not yourself and the child?"

"No, it's really unnecessary." She frowned again, hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "I found a new boyfriend, and he treats me very well. Divorced, I'm with him, he will treat my son as his own, we're going to get married soon, I'm living a good life now, I don't want to make any more troubles, if Yuxiang knows the existence of this child, he might think If I want to get him back, I will never give him the child. I don't want him to come and ruin my life again. Please, please, don't tell him about this, and don't tell him that you have seen me. "

******

Wei Ning didn't know how he returned to the hotel in a daze, the woman's frowning expression and the child's face were still circling in his mind, he fell into the bed with his eyes closed, feeling as if all the strength in his body had been drained, Ridiculous and pathetic.

The phone kept vibrating, Wei Ning didn't want to answer it at first, but in the end he picked it up and looked at it in annoyance. It was all messages from Shen Tingxiang, asking him what's wrong, why he stopped talking suddenly, and if something happened.

Clenching the phone tightly, anger welled up in his heart. After a moment of daze, he took a deep breath and dialed Shen Tiaoxiang directly.

"Hello? What's the matter with you?"

The tone of the people over there was obviously worried and anxious, Wei Ning closed his eyes, and explained in a calm tone as much as possible: "The phone ran out of battery on the street just now, and I just returned to the hotel."

"Oh, that's good. I thought something was wrong. It's fine. Have you had dinner yet?"

"Eat in a while," hesitated for a while, although he agreed to Wei Xiaorou not to ask and not to talk, but there was always a thorn in his heart, he didn't want to just pretend to be deaf and dumb like this, he couldn't hold back: "...I Today, at the cafe on the street, I ran into a former friend, whom you also know."

"Oh? Who?"

"Wei Xiaorou."

Hearing this name, Shen Tiaoxiang was a little surprised. Of course he knew that Wei Xiaorou was Wei Ning's first love girlfriend, and it was also something he had been worrying about at the beginning. Now that Wei Ning mentioned him again, he still felt a little uncomfortable, but he pretended to be nonchalant and said: "...How did you meet her? You haven't seen her for many years, right?"

"You don't want me to touch her?"

"No... I'm just a little surprised."

Hearing Shen Tiaoxiang's hesitant tone, Wei Ning thought he was guilty, and his heart was completely cold: "I'm going to eat, so let's do it."

"Well, okay, eat something and go to bed early."

Hanging up the phone, Wei Ning, who closed his eyes, pulled a self-deprecating wry smile. He was indeed too confident. They had been separated for so many years. What Shen Tiaoxiang had experienced and what kind of person he would become was beyond his ability to guess. Even back then, he didn't really understand him, so let's talk about him now, maybe from the very beginning, he was never the person he imagined.
