Rebirth Turn

Walking out of the recording studio, Lu Yan declined the kindness of the program director of the TV station to send him downstairs, and walked towards the elevator alone.

Song Hui had already gone to the parking lot to pick up the car in advance.

Lu Yan walked to the elevator room, pressed the down button, and stood aside quietly waiting. At this time, he was the only one waiting for the elevator on this floor.After waiting for a while, Lu Yan looked up at the number of floors the elevator reached, and found that it was a bit slow, and the situation of the other elevators was roughly the same.The twelfth floor is not a particularly high floor, so Lu Yan simply decided to go down the stairs. Anyway, if he is not in a hurry, it is also right to exercise his muscles and bones and exercise his body.

Lu Yan turned around, opened the safety door, and walked down the stairwell.

Lu Yan's footsteps were not heavy, but the stairwell was too quiet, so it was clearly audible.

After walking a few floors, when I reached the sixth or seventh floor, I suddenly heard a scolding from below, "Who do you think you are? People ask you questions because they think highly of you! What privacy do you want when you are a star! You think you are Is it a thread?! Shameless, you deserve to be red!"

The voice was not deliberately lowered, and I don't know if it was because I was not afraid of being heard or because I thought there would be no one else here.

Lu Yan frowned, he didn't like to listen to the corners, and he didn't want to cause trouble, but at this time he was too close, no matter whether he was going up or down, he would inevitably startle the speaker and increase the embarrassment.

At this time, the person who spoke just now scolded a few more words, which became more and more unpleasant, but the other person remained silent.

It sounded like the manager was reprimanding the artists he brought, but what made Lu Yan frowned deeper was that the voice was familiar, as if he had heard it many times before, and the tone and tone were no strangers. .

Just as Lu Yan was about to go up a few steps and exit through the security door, the people below had already started to go up.At this time, if he still insisted on going up to avoid it, it would be as if he had done something wrong and wanted to escape, so Lu Yan simply didn't avoid it and went straight down.

As soon as he took two steps, he bumped into two people head-on.

The person walking in front looked a little familiar, and he seemed to be surprised when he saw someone, but he quickly recognized Lu Yan, immediately showed a flattering smile, nodded and bowed, and said, "Lu Yan Brother, what a coincidence to meet you here, hello, hello."

Suddenly, Lu Yan remembered who he was.

Fang Meng!

His former agent.

That was already as far away as in a previous life.

Seeing Fang Meng's flattering appearance, Lu Yan felt a little bit emotional. He was still like this, frequently scolding and cursing the artists he brought, and trying hard to curry favor with popular stars and company executives.Why doesn't he understand that only by taking good care of his artist can others see his value.

Lu Yan stood on the upper steps and looked down at him with a blank expression on his face.

Standing behind Fang Meng was a handsome male artist, Lu Yan didn't have much impression of this face, probably a rookie who debuted not long ago.When he saw Lu Yan for the first time, there was a flash of embarrassment and embarrassment in his eyes, but he quickly restrained himself, lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, looking obedient.

Lu Yan has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he dare not say that he has seen countless people, but he still has a little bit of insight.This male artist's appearance is not bad, he knows how to endure, and he will judge the situation. If there is a chance, it is still possible to have his own world in the entertainment circle, not to mention being popular.

Fang Meng has found a treasure.It's a pity that he will never see the true value of others, just like when Lu Yan was in his hands back then, he would only complain that he couldn't bring him any short-term benefits.Therefore, Lu Yan can also be sure that if one day this male artist really gets ahead, the first thing he will do is to kick Fang Meng's manager.

However, all of this has nothing to do with Lu Yan.

Lu Yan kept a calm expression and nodded slightly at the male artist, then walked straight down.As for Fang Meng, he didn't even want to take another look at him.

When he walked out of the gate of the TV station, Song Hui had already driven his car to the gate and waited.

Lu Yan straightened the collar of his windbreaker, put on his sunglasses, strode over, and opened the door neatly to get in the car.

Although Lu Yan still had no expression on his face, Song Hui, who had been with him for so long and was especially good at observing words and expressions, could still see some clues from the boss's calm expression, so he said casually while driving, "Brother Lu seems to be in a mood. Not bad."

"Oh, is it so obvious?" Lu Yan asked back.

"Hey, I don't know if others can see it or not, anyway, that's how I feel." Song Hui laughed.

"Just now I met a particularly annoying person, and knowing that he is still having a bad time, I feel quite happy." Lu Yan smiled, and said, "Am I a villain when I think so?"

"How come, this is human nature. Anyway, it's not you who made him have a bad life." Song Hui said.

"Heh, there is no need for someone to kill you. You can't live if you do your own crime." Lu Yan smiled sarcastically.

"Ah, brother Lu, you also know?"

"Know what?" Lu Yan questioned.

"It's the person who hurt you that time, what's his name, yes, Xu Yuan. I just saw the news that he was arrested for taking part in gathering people to take drugs." Song Hui said.

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Lu Yan really didn't know.

"Brother Lu, you don't know. There are a lot of discussions about this on the Internet now, but it's not because of Xu Yuan. Many people were arrested this time, and several of them are super popular idol stars. If he hadn't participated in this incident Probably no one mentioned him." Song Hui said briefly.

"Then this time he got what he wanted, and it's hard not to be famous now." Lu Yan said.

"So, Brother Lu, you're right. You're self-inflicted and you can't live. I heard that this kid will curry favor with those popular entertainers, and he wouldn't be ashamed to follow them around. He probably thought he had hugged his thigh, but he didn't expect This time I was knocked down to the bottom of the valley." Song Hui's tone was obviously gloating.

Lu Yan smiled, "You pay attention to him?"

"Of course. He hurt you so much, Brother Lu. If I find a chance, I will never make it easier for him. But it's all right now, but I did it, and he tossed himself into it. It's really satisfying."

"Well, your loyalty is commendable. You are indeed a gold medal assistant. I will give you a salary increase next month." Lu Yan boasted with a smile.

"Really, thank you Brother Lu!" Song Hui would have danced happily if he hadn't been driving.

Two days later, when Lu Yan left the studio, he met someone unexpectedly.

The other party stood outside the door of the office building, saw Lu Yan coming out and greeted him.There was a bit of dust in the bright eyes, seeing Lu Yan showing a slightly tired smile, he said, "I heard that you are getting married, congratulations!"

Seeing this person, Lu Yan's mood was a bit complicated, but he still suppressed the emotions that surged up in an instant, and said lightly, "Actually, I'm already married. I'm just short of a wedding."

The other party smiled indifferently, "Our tradition here is that a wedding is a real marriage. Therefore, my blessing is not too late."

Lu Yan hooked the corner of his mouth, "You are right. Thank you!"

The other party lowered their eyes, put their hands in the pockets of the windbreaker, and finally licked their lips and smiled, "Can we talk together?"

Lu Yan was not surprised by his words, of course he would not think that the other party came here just to congratulate him, he nodded and said, "Of course, we haven't seen each other for a long time, three or four years. "

"Four years and five months." The other party said with certainty.

Lu Yan smiled, didn't say anything about his good memory, took out the phone and explained to Song Hui, and motioned him to go together.

The two randomly found a secluded coffee shop and sat down in a corner.

Only then did Lu Yan start to take a good look at the other party. He didn't look as sunny as he was in school, nor did he look like the high spirits he remembered when he became a big star later, but the whole person seemed to have settled down, with a kind of Intrinsic profundity.If he was a sunny and handsome boy before, the man sitting in front of him now is a man who has weathered the storm.

If the other party hadn't suddenly appeared in front of him today, he would probably have been stranded in Lu Yan's memory forever.But Lu Yan is not ignorant of his experiences over the years.

After they broke up that year, they never saw each other again.Lu Yan only knew that Xu Yongzhou turned down a few male lead roles in idol dramas, and took a role with a director who is famous for his western themes.Over the years, the few films he has taken on are basically of this type. They are relatively unfocused, but they test their acting skills and perseverance.

If he followed the path of idol dramas for a while back then, and then moved to the big screen after his popularity rose, with his qualifications and strength, he can now rank among the quasi-first-tier positions in China.But he took an unusual path.

In the eyes of ordinary people, he probably felt that he was in exile.But Lu Yan knew that this was Xu Yongzhou's own choice.Neither Lu Yan nor Su Jue are the ones who will make trouble.That incident back then came to an end after the two broke up.Although Su Jue was on Lu Yan's side in that matter, it was impossible for him to hide Xu Yongzhou or do something that hindered his career development.It has always been Su Jue's principle to distinguish between public and private.Just like the audition back then, if Lu Yan's performance was indeed not as good as Xu Yongzhou's, he would not let it go because of his elder brother.

Therefore, Xu Yongzhou's staying away was definitely not ordered by Su Jue, but only because he wanted to do it himself.

Now that times have changed, the two can still sit and drink coffee together calmly, which is a bit strange to think about.The depression and sentimentality that had no place to vent back then gradually faded with the passage of time.

The two faced each other in silence for a long time, and finally Xu Yongzhou spoke first, "Don't you ask me why I came to you?"

"Didn't you come to say congratulations to me?" Lu Yan said intentionally.

Xu Yongzhou grinned at the corner of his mouth, and pulled out a light smile, "I have been taking more fringe scenes these years."

Lu Yan nodded, indicating that he knew.

"I don't deny that at the beginning, there was a bit of self-abandonment and self-exile in it. Gradually, I found that this is a good opportunity for self-improvement. It is always easier for people to recognize themselves in some special circumstances. .I think in the past few years, I have made great progress. Whether it is in acting or watching things." Xu Yongzhou was a little emotional.

Lu Yan once again agreed, "You have done a good job. Among the nominees for Best Actor in this year's Golden Bull Awards, you have the highest call for the award."

Xu Yongzhou showed a self-deprecating smile, "But compared with your achievements, it's nothing."

After being silent for a while, Xu Yongzhou changed the subject, "In the past two years, I often think of the days when we were studying together. To be honest, I have some regrets, because we are actually strangers, or even worse. "

Lu Yan looked up at him.

Xu Yongzhou smiled again, "But, I won't apologize, this is the only dignity I have left."

Lu Yan was noncommittal, he could understand Xu Yongzhou, and to some extent, they were actually quite similar.

"I only now know why I was the one who was with Su Jue back then, but he stood by your side." Xu Yongzhou changed the subject again, "At that time I mistakenly thought that you joined because of Director Li. Starry Sky, in fact, is because of Su Dong." Lu Yan did not deny it, but asked, "If you knew it at that time, would you still do that?"

"I don't know," Xu Yongzhou shook his head, "Once a person becomes jealous, it's terrible. But maybe my goal at that time was not Su Er, but Su Da."

Lu Yan smiled confidently, "Then you will definitely lose even worse!"

"I believe." Xu Yongzhou admitted directly, "Lu Yan, maybe you haven't realized it yourself, but you are actually an extreme perfectionist, especially in terms of emotions. So if there is someone who can impress you, then he must have Stronger determination than you. You seem gentle, but indifferent. I once thought that you would never really fall in love with anyone in your life. But it turns out that even in this respect, you are so lucky that people are jealous. "

Lu Yan smiled, "In this regard, I am indeed extremely lucky."

Xu Yongzhou smiled confidently, "Of course I know. Because the one who knows a person best is always his opponent."

Lu Yan said, "This, not necessarily."

Xu Yongzhou showed a questioning expression, but Lu Yan didn't intend to explain.

Finally, Xu Yongzhou smiled and said, "I am very grateful to you for being willing to have a cup of coffee with me. I am also grateful that we can chat together like this. I probably won't attend your wedding. But I think, you You didn't intend to invite me either."

Lu Yan was silent for a while, then said, "I have never hated you."

"I know," Xu Yongzhou smiled wryly, "because you never took me to heart. Sometimes, I would rather you hate me."

When the two walked out of the coffee shop together, Xu Yongzhou looked at Lu Yan hesitating to speak, and finally said in a low voice, "If one day, we can settle our differences, if... Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything. I'll go first , I have to go to Gansu in two days.”

"Yongzhou," Lu Yan called out, this was the first time Lu Yan called each other's name since they met each other, Xu Yongzhou turned to look at him.Lu Yan said seriously, "You said that I never took you seriously, you are wrong. I just didn't put you in the position of an opponent, because I always put you in the position of a friend."

Xu Yongzhou opened his mouth slightly, the expression on his face changed a few times, and finally settled on a bit of sad regret.

In any case, they have not returned to the beginning.

When Lu Yan returned home, Su Mo was sitting in the living room reading documents. When he saw him come in, he got up and said, "I'm back. Are you hungry, do you want to eat first?"

Under Lu Yan's guidance, Su Mo's Chinese food is also getting better and better. Usually, when the two of them are not busy, they are used to cooking together at home.

"Don't be too busy," Lu Yan pulled him back, hugged him and sat on the sofa together, resting his head on the other's shoulder, and said sullenly, "Let me hug you for a while." "What's wrong, you're in a bad mood?" Su Mo let him hold her, and comforted her in a low voice.

"I can't tell. I'm a little sad and a little relieved." Lu Yan said honestly.

Su Mo patted his hand, "Is it because of an old friend?"

Lu Yan raised his head and smiled at him, "I can't hide anything from you." He said, turning Su Mo's shoulders and leaning his forehead against the other's forehead, and said in a low voice, "Only you will never misunderstand me."

Su Mo smiled lightly, "Because we are soul-bound, we can connect with each other."

Lu Yan's eyes brightened when he heard the words, and he said with a low smile, "You are right, because we have the same heart."
