In the city [entertainment circle]

Shen Xiao was sitting in front of his workbench. His work was almost finished, only some final outlines were missing. He carved the most common sparrow, because it was this kind of bird that he had seen the most.

The mobile phone placed on the workbench vibrated suddenly, and Shen Xiao was a little surprised. He didn't know who would look for him at this time. He didn't know many people in his circle, and most of them were just casual acquaintances. Director, but because he usually doesn't like to socialize, he is generally not called at parties or the like.

He just came over there, ready to see who sent the text message, when he found that the phone was out of battery and turned off.

When was the last time it was charged?Shen Xiao was looking for the charger while thinking, he turned around, and finally found the charger in the drawer, and then plugged it into the socket on the wall.

During the waiting time, Shen Xiao judged that this should be a text message from the communication company.

After charging for a while, Shen Xiao guessed that it was almost done, and then turned on the phone, and was a little surprised, it was an unfamiliar number, and it didn't seem to be sent from any base station.

There are only a few simple words in it——

[Mr. Shen, it's me, Li Ruosen. 】

And then another text message——

[Teacher save my number. 】

Shen Xiao didn't ask where he got his number, Zhang Lin must have told him.

Shen Xiao thought for a while, and was about to reply when another text message——

[Ms. Shen, can I send you a text message in the future? 】

Are you really your little fan?Shen Xiao laughed, he saved Li Ruosen's number, then turned on his phone, opened Weibo, took a picture of his finished product, and posted a Weibo.

His Weibo is basically only used when promoting his works, and he can’t post a single Weibo in a month on weekdays, and 100 people commenting is considered too much.

Shen Xiao probably looked through the previous message or something, and then turned off the phone again.

He always felt that Li Ruosen's attitude was very strange. It stands to reason that he didn't need to be so polite to him, so sincere and sincere, as if their identities had changed positions.

[Don't call me Teacher Shen. 】He thought for a while and hit, he originally wanted Li Ruosen to be like everyone else, calling himself Brother Shen or whatever, but he felt that he might be taking advantage of this, so he said, 【Just call me Shen Xiao. 】

There was no reply there, Shen Xiao waited for a while, then put the phone aside to charge.

After dinner, Li Ruosen was pushed by Li Zhengying in a wheelchair and went back to the room on the first floor.

"Brother..." Li Ruosen turned around and said to Li Zhengying, but was stopped by the other party.

"You don't need to make a sound, I can just see your mouth shape." He touched Li Ruosen's throat, "You are not well here, so it's not convenient to talk."

Li Ruosen lip-synced with his brother, "Ruoyu hasn't come back yet?" The Ruoyu he said was naturally his younger brother, Li Ruoyu, who was in charge of investing in a film and television company.

"He won't be coming back tonight." Li Zhengying said, "There is an engagement, you go to bed early." He pushed Li Ruosen into the carpeted room.

Then, as usual, he casually explained a few words to Li Ruosen and left his room.

Li Ruosen looked at the closed door, and then slowly took out a mobile phone from his coat pocket. It was an ordinary mobile phone for the elderly who could only make calls and send text messages.

It's funny to say, as the young master of the Li family, Li Ruosen didn't have much cash on him, he didn't dare to swipe his card, and Li Zhengying would definitely know if he swiped his card.

However, he didn't want Li Zhengying to know.

He took out his phone card and mobile phone, murmured in his mind the number he wanted from Zhang Lin, and then started sending text messages to Shen Xiao.

He knew Shen Xiao's latest script.

Because that's what he wrote.

Li Ruosen has always felt that his life is not happy, even though he has a relatively good family background in the eyes of outsiders, but the existence of Li Zhengying only makes him feel suffocated.

He thought it must be because of his mother, the death of this woman drove Li Zhengying completely crazy.

He didn't know what this woman said to Li Zhengying before she died, which made him pay too much attention to himself and Ruoyu, as if he had replaced their father's role.

Now, Ruoyu has grown up.

And in his eyes, he was still the child he was back then.

When Li Ruosen thought of this, he inevitably felt a little strange towards Li Zhengying. If possible, he would like to leave Li's house.

Perhaps because of his inherently poor health, Li Zhengying paid more attention to him.

He hardly went out to school, and he was always a tutor invited by his elder brother.

Because there is nothing to do at home, Li Ruosen can only read books and watch movies, and he rarely goes out because Li Zhengying doesn't like it.

Their mother encountered an accident when she was out.

He remembered that he once asked his elder brother why Ruoyu could go to school, start his own company, and do what he wanted to do.

He remembered that Li Zhengying was just sitting behind the desk, smoking a cigar, with an unpredictable expression, "You are different." He said, "You are both my younger brothers, but you are not in good health and cannot walk, but Ruoyu is different. " He looked at Li Ruosen with some compassion in his eyes, "Don't make me worry, I can't lose my loved ones anymore."

Perhaps it was this excessive concern that made him feel suffocated.

Li Ruosen looked at his neatly manicured nails in silence, then gnawed nervously until they no longer looked as flat as before.

Then he started texting Shen Xiao.

He wanted to participate in Shen Xiao's life even in his dreams, and he wanted to see Shen Xiao perform the role he created.

His script was written for Shen Xiao, and no one else could do it better than him.

"Mr. Shen..." Li Ruosen looked at the phone screen, then turned the wheelchair and stuffed the phone under the mattress.

There is a computer in his room, but many websites cannot be accessed. At most, he can only browse some news. At his request, he opened Weibo again.

"I'm also a novelist." Li Ruosen said stubbornly to Li Zhengying, "I need to communicate with my readers." He didn't hide from Li Zhengying about writing novels on the website, after all, these things cannot be hidden.

So Li Zhengying thought about it, and opened another permission.

Only he himself knew that he wanted to open Weibo because of Shen Xiao.

Even Shen Xiao can't post a few Weibo posts in a year, most of them are advertisements, but just looking at him, Li Ruosen is already satisfied.

When Li Ruoyu came back, it was already noon the next day, Li Zhengying had gone to the company, and only Wang Ma and Uncle Zhong were at home.

Hearing that he was back, Li Ruosen turned the wheelchair and came out.

Li Ruoyu hurried over, "Brother, don't come over, I'll do it, go to your room to talk?"

Li Ruosen nodded.

Li Ruoyu hastily came over to push the wheelchair for him, "Brother is really, why don't you change to an electric one."

Li Ruosen was hard to speak, but he knew in his heart that it would be much more convenient for him to go out because of the electric wheelchair.

When Li Ruosen was pushed into the room, Li Ruoyu sat on the soft bed, "The other side agreed before." He smiled and said to Li Ruosen, "I spent a lot of money to show your script to that side. Kung Fu." He walked up to Li Ruosen and knelt down, "I should give you some rewards anyway."

There was also a smile in Li Ruosen's eyes. He remembered the time when he played with his younger brother in the past, but later...he looked at his legs without leaving any traces, and then touched Li Ruoyu's head, "Our Ruoyu long When I grow up, I can help my brother."

In fact, his voice is almost better, but he doesn't want Li Zhengying to know.

"I don't know what you like about Shen Xiao, he's like a piece of wood." Li Ruoyu said, "I asked the investor to call him out that day, and just said that I was busy, and just said some deceitful things before hanging up. Annoying."

"Since it's a scene, it's all a lie." Li Ruosen was not at all surprised by his brother's embarrassment. Although he had never met Shen Xiao before, after so many years of observation, he probably still understood what kind of person he was. of.

"You said it would be great if you liked other stars." Li Ruoyu said, he suddenly remembered something, and took out something from his pocket, "I'll give you a gift."

Li Ruosen took the velvet box, opened it and found it was a diamond brooch.

"Your coat is very nice. I'll buy you a brooch to match it."

"Which girl is it to coax?" Li Ruosen asked.

Li Ruoyu laughed mysteriously, "This one is different."

"It's different."

"She doesn't want this."

Li Ruosen looked at the brooch in his hand, it was made in the shape of a bird, it was very delicate, he thought for a while, and felt that it was too complicated to match his coat.

"I don't think it's a good fit."

"It obviously fits well." Li Ruoyu stubbornly found the beige coat from the closet, put it on Li Ruosen, and then fastened the diamond brooch on him.

"It's beautiful." Li Ruoyu looked at Li Ruosen who was wearing a beige coat and said, because he seldom went out, and because their mother's skin was fairer, Li Ruosen's skin was always a little fair for ordinary men. His hair is also a little yellowish, and the whole person looks like a light-pigmented impression.

It just looks too much like a dummy.

Li Ruoyu suddenly felt that his brother was a bit pitiful. He knew that his elder brother was a little too paranoid and loved Li Ruosen. He thought it might be because he looked too much like their mother who died young.

Like what?

Like a canary in a cage.

He is almost no different from the canaries raised by those people, except that he does not need to pay the physical price.

Maybe those people are happier than him, at least they are not restricted when they go out, Li Ruoyu thought, feeling more and more pitiful for his brother, he squatted down, held his brother's hand, and found that his nails were a little rough, "You Are you biting your nails again?"

Li Ruosen didn't speak.

"Brother." Li Ruoyu sighed, he felt that if this continues, at least one of him and his eldest brother will go crazy, "I have a TV series to be filmed recently, a costume drama, do you want to go watch it with me? ?”

Hearing this, Li Ruosen's eyes became brighter.

"As for the elder brother, I'll go and talk to him." He touched Li Ruosen's nails, stood up and searched, found a file, and then squatted down to smooth it for him, "Don't chew your nails in the future. I said, I will discuss it with my brother."

He felt a pair of hands land on his head, and touched it lightly, like touching a small animal. Li Ruoyu laughed, "I'm not a child anymore."
