Rebirth of the fallen painter

Wei Zicheng left here without looking back.Seeing that figure disappear around the corner, there was a sudden sharp pain in his chest, and for a moment, it seemed that even breathing became difficult.He tried all his strength to press against his chest, but suddenly, a tsunami of pain surrounded him, and the darkness dragged him down.Then, everything around disappeared.

When Ren Xi opened his eyes, he found that he was already in the hospital.The light blue curtains rippled because of the breeze.On the right hand side hangs a salt water bottle.The transparent liquid medicine slowly flowed into his body along the thin needle tube.And the person sitting next to him was actually Wu Yao.

Wu Yao is peeling apples.He raised his head and found that Ren Xi was awake. Although Wu Yao was sullen, he was a little excited.With a slip of the hand, the sharp blade slid across the fingertips, and then thin threads of blood seeped out.

Wu Yao put down the knife, ignored the injured finger, and then looked at Ren Xi, "Are you awake? Is there any discomfort?"

Ren Xi just looked at him silently, without saying a word.That gaze was really cold, Wu Yao finally realized that it was full of hostility.He staggered his gaze, and then said, "Do you want to drink water, the doctor said that you will be very thirsty when you wake up."

It's still the same look.

Wu Yao said, "You have been in a coma for a day, and the doctor said that your mood fluctuates too much, and you have been overworked recently, so you should take good care of your body." He took a bowl of porridge that had been prepared on the table, and then poured a bowl, The small spoon took a spoonful and handed it to Ren Xi's lips.

Ren Xi only stared at him for a moment, then turned his head and looked out the window quietly.

The scenery outside the window is pleasant, completely different from the oppressive atmosphere of the prison in this ward.

It was a long silence.

Wu Yao was silent for a while, then finally withdrew his hand and put the porridge bowl aside.He stared at Ren Xi for a while, and then said, "The doctor just said that you should take medicine first when you wake up."

Then there was the rustling of pouring pills and the sound of water, and a few pills were delivered to Ren Xi.

Ren Xi only looked out the window, as if he didn't notice the situation here at all.

Wu Yao said, "Even if you are angry, don't use your body—"

Before he finished speaking, Ren Xiwu raised his hand, and the pills scattered all over the floor.A glass of water was poured upside down on the quilt, splashing the quilt.

Ren Xi said hoarsely, "My body has nothing to do with you."

Wu Yao froze, and then just stood aside silently.

Ren Xi hoarsely said, "Get lost!"

The room was a mess.A little nurse outside poked her head in to see the situation.The two people in the room seemed to have lost their senses, immersed in their own emotions.No matter how others gossip, they can't care at all at the moment.

Finally, it was Wu Yao who came back to his senses first. He walked to the door and said to three or four little nurses, "There's nothing to do here, you go get busy first."

After closing the door, the room was quiet again.

Ren Xi closed his eyes.He was already weak, and he couldn't sleep almost every night these days.He only closed his eyes, trying to escape this nightmare.It's just that the tiredness and discomfort enveloped him again, and he fell into a deep sleep again.

He didn't know how long he had slept, but in the dimness, he suddenly felt a fiery touch on his lips.Someone is kissing him secretly.He woke up vaguely, and found that the touch of the lips was extremely light, as if he was afraid of waking him up.

He opened his eyes, but he was facing Wu Yao's thick black eyes.

Both of them froze for a moment, and then fell silent for a while.

Ren Xi's voice was hoarse, "What are you doing?"

Wu Yao looked away, then slowly straightened up, "You're awake."

The sudden discovery of the stealing kiss made the whole room feel weird.

Wu Yao said, "If you don't want to work recently, do you want to travel?"

Ren Xi stared at Wu Yao with cold eyes.

Wu Yao was expressionless, and handed over a promotional brochure, "I checked yesterday and found that the scenery in Switzerland is very good, the air is also good, it is very suitable for recuperation and relaxation, and it is very convenient for traveling there. For example, you After staying in Switzerland, you can travel to neighboring countries. Over there, EU passports are universal, so you can travel as much as you want.”

Ren Xi just looked at him indifferently, without saying a word.

"You are not suitable for high-intensity work now. Besides, you don't like the road of stardom so much. Why make yourself so tired, why don't you take a good rest?" Wu Yao glanced at Ren Xi and found that Ren Xi's His eyes were cold, almost without warmth.He guessed that Ren Xi still had something to worry about, "If you're worried about money, you don't have to worry...I have a lot now. It will allow you to live in luxury for a while."

Ren Xi suddenly laughed, "Wu Yao, who has you been instructed this time?"

Wu Yao paused, and put the two air tickets in front of Ren Xi, "This time is my own wish. I hope you will go to Switzerland with me to settle down. I have already bought a house there. As long as we go by plane, Everything is set up for life over there."

Ren Xi's eyes were full of scrutiny, "Is it Sun Fu? Or do you have a new boss or task. I don't want to guess what you sent me there for, you can tell me directly."

"The only reason I got you there is to hope you have a good life."

Ren Xi's eyes were cold, "You don't need to put gold on your face like this. To be honest, you want me to threaten Wei Zicheng in the past? But unfortunately, he now knows that I am not 'Ren Xi' and hates me to death. He I wish I could die, and I will never be threatened by you. If it's not Wei Zicheng, then I really can't think of who it is."

Wu Yao looked at him, "How can you trust me?"

Ren Xi sneered, "I also really want to know how to trust someone who just betrayed me." He looked provocatively, "Why don't you tell me how I can trust you."

Wu Yao was silent.He has always had this expressionless demeanor, as if emotions don't exist in him.Wu Yao still has that expression at the moment, as if the whole person is a cold killing machine, and the emotions that people have do not exist in him at all.

Ren Xi looked at him and said, "I think, only a cold-blooded person like you would say such nonsense to ask me to believe you."

Wu Yao did not argue.He just took the medicine on the table, his voice was flat and unwavering, "It's already late to take the medicine, the doctor said you can't miss the time." He looked at the dosage of the medicine recorded very patiently, prepared it and put it In the small plastic lid, he poured another cup of hot water. He picked it up, as if feeling hot, and filled half of it with cold water before handing it to Ren Xi.

Ren Xi didn't take the medicine, just looked at him coldly.

Wu Yao's outstretched hand paused in the air for a moment.He paused for a moment, then withdrew his hand, "If you don't want me to help you, I'll call the nurse."

Ren Xi said, "Why did you kiss me just now?"

It was as if the air had stagnated.

Ren Xi said lightly, "Still, you, like Wei Zicheng, liked the 'Ren Xi' in the past. He was the treasure in your heart at that time, and you dared not kiss him, but now I am nothing, so you can think what you want That's it."

Wu Yao looked at him, "I like you."

Ren Xi clearly had many harsh words to say, but because of this sentence, he stopped.He paused, then sneered, "This is really the funniest joke I've ever heard."

Wu Yao had no intention of refuting, but just kept his usual silent expression.

Ren Xi looked at him, "You people are so affectionate and funny. I like 'Ren Xi', even his soul is dead, leaving only a body, and here we are scrambling to confess to a body. However, the most ridiculous thing is myself. I am so stupid that I make myself such a joke. I can't even blame Wei Zicheng, because from the beginning to the end, he is just a lover who loves the dead lover deeply, and refuses to believe that the lover has passed away. Dead man. I was too stupid to let myself go to such a ridiculous point."

Wu Yao looked at him, "'Ren Xi' is my younger brother, so I will take good care of him. In my eyes, he is just a child who can't grow up. I can be nice to him, but I won't fall in love with him."

Ren Xi spoke sarcastically, "Oh, so you wouldn't fall in love with 'Ren Xi', but fell in love with this inexplicable person who occupied the body of 'Ren Xi'."

Wu Yao ignored his sharpness and said, "You are tired, take a good rest."

"I don't need to rest at all." Ren Xi stared at Wu Yao and said with a smile, "You know, all of this is too ridiculous. You personally destroyed my hope for love, and now you come to say you love me."

Wu Yao said, "Are you willing to live in that illusion?"

Ren Xi smiled abruptly and was speechless for a while.

Yes, everything is but an illusion.Those gentlenesses were all given to another soul that had completely disappeared through time and space.

All the sweetness in it, the ups and downs they experienced, none of these were for him.He is like a mechanical prop, an object that can entrust Wei Zicheng's emotions.

He can't think about it, and when he thinks about it, he will feel more and more pathetic.

He should cheer up, he should be strong.

It's just that lovers have never loved themselves.It's no big deal.

Just, stop loving the ups and downs of a relationship.

Then he will be relieved.

He looked at Wu Yao with a faint smile, "Of course I don't want to be deluded by hallucinations. I should thank you for making me stop believing in love."

He was discharged from the hospital the next day.Originally, the filming of the crew entered a tense stage.He is the second male lead and has a lot of roles, so he couldn't delay it.Moreover, the schedules of all the actors are scheduled, and it is impossible to slow down the progress of the entire crew because of him alone.

He entered the crew, and the staff was sparsely busy.Everyone was very happy to see him.When the make-up artist was applying makeup to Ren Xi, she said with a smile, "Fortunately, you are here. The air pressure of these heavenly directors is already extremely low. You didn't know yesterday that Zhang Jing left the post without authorization to attend other announcements, but it was delayed." Later, when the crew came to her, he said something instead. Anyway, the crew is idle now, so there is no reason to delay the announcement. The crew had a big fight with Zhang Jing. Although Director Wang didn't say anything, he was obviously very upset. However, it’s all right now, and the crew can start filming smoothly again.”

Ren Xi took the script to familiarize himself with the plot, and then went to the shooting location to ponder his feelings.This is a play with Shen Weiwei.At this moment, the character played by Ren Xi, because of a series of extreme actions before, at this time, everyone betrays relatives, and Shen Weiwei turns against him.

In this scene, Ren Xi felt somewhat confident.But according to Wang An's standards, it might be another torture.

He raised his head and suddenly saw a familiar figure on the opposite side.

He is so familiar with his heroic and handsome face, he can always see this face frequently in street advertisements and TV every day.

Ren Xi smiled and said, "Mr. Wei." This is a polite smile among colleagues.Of course, it is impossible for him to love Wei Zicheng anymore, but now, they are still colleagues, and they are partners who need to shoot a lot of rival scenes.They need to maintain at least a semblance of a good relationship.

Wei Zicheng didn't seem to see his smile, but just stared at him fixedly.His eyes were pitch black, like a bottomless pool.

Ren Xi couldn't keep the smile on his face, he only raised a polite smile again, and then turned around to discuss with Shen Weiwei, who was at the side, about the matchup.

I don't know how long Wei Zicheng stared at him, because Ren Xi didn't look back, but just concentrated on playing with Shen Weiwei.Shen Weiwei was in a good mood and burst out laughing from time to time.Ren Xi also seemed to be smiling.

The first scene between Ren Xi and Shen Weiwei went well.There were a lot of bumps when they first joined the crew, because the two were not familiar with each other, nor did they know each other's acting style.After getting along for so long, the relationship between Shen Weiwei and Ren Xi has gradually become familiar, and after resting for so long, both of them have an extremely strong desire to act. The first scene naturally had a lot of sparks.Wang An's play has never been played once, and the second scene almost started naturally.When the two of them were already planning the third match, Wang An yelled.

Shen Weiwei leaned in front of the camera, "How about it, is there something wrong?"

Wang An was very happy, "You are all in good condition today." He turned to look at Ren Xi, "Especially Ren Xi, with a particularly brilliant expression."

Ren Xi smiled and said, "Really, if there is anything that needs to be improved, Director Wang, tell me, we will work harder next time."

Wang An smiled and said, "No need. You can pass this time. Ren Xi was a little rusty in the first time, but it was also very good. The second time is very good."

The two people on the side were surprised and delighted.Shen Weiwei said happily, "Really?"

Wang An said, "Of course. This time you are very good. If you continue to act in this state, then the shooting progress can be much faster."

Shen Wei smiled and said, "As long as Director Wang is not so picky, we can go much faster."

Wang An said, "It's up to you to meet the standards. I was really worried about this drama, but various situations happened in the middle. There was an accident in Wei Zicheng's family. He almost didn't come to the crew a few days ago, and he couldn't even find anyone. Yes. And Ren Xi, you fell ill and went to the hospital. I was still worried that the filming of this film would not be completed. After all, the investors are not willing to wait too long. If the time is not completed and the funds are exhausted, even if everyone wants to shoot, there will be no chance It was filmed. Fortunately, Ren Xi, you are coming to the set today, by the way, can your body hold on?"

Ren Xi said, "It's not a serious illness, it's completely recovered after two days of recuperation."

Wang An smiled and said, "That's good. But it's also good if you come. The male lead Wei Zicheng, who was never found at all, rarely showed up today, and finally came to the crew."

Everyone's eyes turned to Wei Zicheng not far away.He was standing by the camera, frowning, listening to the phone.He has a gloomy expression today, and he has hardly spoken when he joined the crew.

Wang Andao, "It's understandable that Wei Zicheng won't be able to come to the set because of an accident in his family. But even though I understand, the male lead is always unable to come to the set, which is really frustrating. Ren Xi, you don't know, the crew sent someone to I looked for him, but I was sent back without even seeing anyone, saying that I was too busy. By the way, I called Wei Zicheng yesterday. When I chose an actor as the leading actor, I was really..." He paused, then sighed, "You said, didn't that tell us to overthrow the whole show and reshoot it? But fortunately, he came here again this morning .”

In the next few scenes of Wei Zicheng, he was not at his best.He was not as calm and unrestrained as before, and the gloom between his brows was always thick.He can barely pass the few scenes with Shen Weiwei.Although compared with the average actor, the standard is much higher, but it doesn't have the thrilling sense of courage in the past.

And in the next few scenes with Ren Xi, Wei Zicheng was clearly out of shape, repeated several times, but still couldn't get into the scene, he said to the director, "Director Wang, I'm a little tired, let me take a rest."

Wang An nodded, "Okay, let's shoot Shen Weiwei's scene first. By the way, Ren Xi, go and play against Wei Zicheng. After all, this is a scene between the two of you, and you need to think more about it."

Ren Xi still stood there without moving, Wei Zicheng only turned his head slightly, and glanced at Ren Xi.Those eyes were full of exhaustion and forbearance, as if there were many emotions, and there was no way to express them, they could only boil in his chest like boiling water.

When Ren Xi wanted to watch it again, Wei Zicheng had already looked away, and said to Wang An, "No need, I think Ren...he probably doesn't want to play against me."

Wang An looked at the two suspiciously, but still said, "After all, it's your opponent's scene. If you can't cooperate, you won't be able to make it."

Wei Zicheng said, "I'll be fine in a while. Director Wang, you know that I can play with any actor. It's just that I'm not in the right shape right now. Just let me take a rest."

After finishing speaking, he strode towards the lounge.

This side was filming Shen Weiwei's scene again, Ren Xi watched it for a while, then walked to the waiting room.

He has decided to forget everything and concentrate on his work.He should make it clear to Wei Zicheng.After all, too many things happened during this period of time.

The lounge door was ajar.Wei Zicheng's back can be seen through the crack of the door.

That familiar figure made his heart beat violently.He laughed at his inability to forget, and was about to open the door when he saw Wei Zicheng quietly looking at his phone.

The photo on the phone is not the arrogant and cheerful 'Ren Xi' in the past, but the quiet and silent Ren Xi.Ren Xi in the photo is holding a book and reading it engrossed.

Ren Xi still remembered that book, it was a book about acting that Wei Zicheng bought for him.Every time he reads a book, he ignores Wei Zicheng's words.Wei Zicheng tried his best to tease him for a while, but seeing that there was still no response, he lay beside him dying.Every time Ren Xi finished reading, Wei Zicheng probably fell asleep beside him.

When was this photo taken.He didn't notice it at all.

His heart throbbed violently, and he was almost overwhelmed by those gentle illusions again.

Wei Zicheng was so engrossed in watching, his expression was not as gloomy as before, but rather like the tenderness and affection shown when looking at the photos of his lover.

Is he thinking of Ren Xi, or the soul that has disappeared.

Ren Xi's heart tightened, and then he pushed the door open and entered.Wei Zicheng took back his phone and said, "Is it my part?"

Ren Xi stood there, "No."

The two stood in silence for a moment.Ren Xi can maintain the polite and polite attitude of strangers.And Wei Zicheng just turned his head, his brows were in the shadows, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

Ren Xidao, "How did you think about that scene?"

Wei Zicheng turned his head and stared at Ren Xi.That gaze seemed to be stuck on Ren Xi's face, unable to move away.Ren Xi was flustered by that gaze, he pretended to be nonchalant, "If you want, I can rehearse with you a few times."

Wei Zicheng strode up suddenly and took Ren Xi's hand, "Ren Xi, don't fight me anymore. I miss you."

Ren Xi quickly shook off Wei Zicheng's hand as if he had been burned, and said, "Mr. Wei, please don't do this."

Wei Zicheng froze for a moment, and then his expression gradually darkened.

For a moment, the noise leaking in through the crack of the door was particularly ear-piercing.

Wei Zicheng took a step back, then adjusted his right cuff button, then raised his head and smiled, "Sorry, I was impulsive just now."

Ren Xi looked at him, "A lot of things have happened recently. This is something that neither you nor I thought of. I think you may have a lot of opinions on me. But, I hope that no matter what the other things are. You can treat me with a serious attitude. Come face the game."

Wei Zicheng turned his head absently, looking at the scene outside the window, as if he didn't hear it at all.

"You are already an actor, you should know that you should not bring your personal feelings to work. No matter how much you hate me in life. In the play, we still have to play the role of the pair of brothers."

Wei Zicheng smiled abruptly, "Ren Xi, I never hated you. On the contrary, I have always loved you."

Ren Xi froze, his mind was in a mess again, and Wei Zicheng's gaze made him panic even more.He spent a lot of effort to regain his reason, and then said, "I know, you blame me for betraying your father. I am willing to make up for you, but you don't bring these hatreds into the play. You are the best actor, I believe you have already Learn how to handle it."

Wei Zicheng looked at him indifferently, "I can handle this kind of emotion. It's just that I found out that my lover suddenly betrayed me, and found that the original lover had disappeared, and the person in front of me was a stranger. I was really a little confused."

"Now we are discussing the issue of acting." Ren Xi became anxious, "You are completely irresponsible. Everyone in the crew is working hard for this drama. Don't think that you can be lazy now that you are the best actor. This will only leave a bad impression on people. Since you have accepted this film, you should do your best to act. This is the professional ethics that an actor should have. Your current attitude only makes people feel You don't want to act at all."

Wei Zicheng said, "I don't want to act. Because I found out that you have decided to break up with me without authorization and treated me like a stranger. I am very confused. To tell you the truth, I don't want to act. I don't want to see You, you are not 'Ren Xi', and you betrayed me. But I came here as if nothing happened. Tell me why."

Ren Xiwu's eyes were red, "Wei Zicheng, you don't love me at all, why do you say such things?"

Wei Zicheng clasped his shoulders, his eyes filled with darkness, "Did I say I don't love you? I've never said such a thing." He seemed to be unable to control himself, the strength of his arms was getting stronger and stronger. Xi only felt that he was going to be suffocated by that arm.

Ren Xi pulled his hand away, trying to control his excitement, "I don't want to tell you this anymore. In short, I hope you can act well. The efforts of the crew should not be ignored by an irresponsible person like you. destroy."

Wei Zicheng looked at him, "You are not afraid that I will delay other people's efforts, you are just afraid that your own acting will be delayed by me. Right?"

Ren Xi's hand trembled, and he was speechless for a long while.

Wei Zicheng looked at him, "It's not that you have nothing, but you always put work first."

Ren Xi looked at him with red eyes, "That's right, I'm just afraid of being delayed. Because now, I have nothing but work."

"..."

"Do you think I'm going to play that person who waits for you to slowly find out what you want, and then come back and give me a little affection? No, I've had enough of this. I don't want to let myself get stuck in that kind of thinking, thinking over and over again, what are you doing? Did you always love Ren Xi, or did you slowly fall in love with me because of this period of time. The choice is yours, you love it if you say you love it, and you don’t love it if you say you don’t love it. Wei Zicheng, I won’t be that person.”

Wei Zicheng stepped forward, trying to keep Ren Xi.

Ren Xi withdrew from his embrace and said, "This relationship doesn't belong to me, and I don't want it anymore. Wei Zicheng, let's break up."

Wei Zicheng stopped where he was, with a calm expression as if he didn't hear Ren Xi's words.

Ren Xi had a polite smile on his face, "From now on, we are just ordinary friends. I hope that in the days to come, we can cooperate well and perform this drama well."
