out of plain sight

Sun Jinghan walked out of the hotel, walked across a street and returned to the car, closed his eyes and stretched his limbs, enjoying the aftertaste of pleasure.There are rules for one-night stands, and he doesn't allow himself to lie next to strangers to do this aftertaste, which is too intimate for him.

He took out his mobile phone from the glove box of the co-pilot, there was a missed call more than 20 minutes ago, it was from Chen Moting, and Sun Jinghan was trembling at the peak of pleasure at that time.

Recently, Tianming Culture has been filled with a weird atmosphere, and rumors of various versions are everywhere.Sun Jinghan's nerves were tense, and he had a headache and stomachache for several days, but no one shared the pressure with him, so he had no choice but to use sex to vent his panic, but Chen Moting, who was always reluctant to take the initiative to contact, called at this time.

Since he only called once, it meant it was not an important matter, so Sun Jinghan made a note to call him back tomorrow and drove home.

"Why did you come back?" The voice control lights in the corridor turned on, and Chen Moting stood up, patting the dust on his buttocks, "Why didn't you answer my call?"

"I was busy."

Sun Jinghan opened the door in front, and Chen Moting bent his neck behind him and smelled his neckline. There was a warm smell of cheap bath liquid: "Are you looking for a woman?"

"Yeah." In the more than a year of living together, the two of them looked up and down every day, always spying on each other's private life intentionally or unintentionally.Chen Moting knew that Sun Jinghan was an experienced one-night stand player, and Sun Jinghan also knew that Chen Moting would secretly masturbate while he was out.If it were someone else, they would definitely think that what Chen Moting said just now was aggressive, but in fact, these are the daily greetings between the two. "How will the crew arrange tomorrow?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, we finished the project early today."

Sun Jinghan's face suddenly changed.He still has other actors to take care of, and he spends more energy on keeping an eye on the company's news, so he didn't follow up on Chen Moting's filming progress in time.An agent who doesn't even know that an actor has finished filming will definitely give people the excuse of not being able to do things well: "I'll adjust the schedule right now."

Chen Moting sat down on the sofa: "No rush."

His eyes are particularly well-shaped, with a perfect outline, his eyelids are unobtrusive, his eyes are black like water, and his pair of eyebrows are well decorated. If it is not deliberately annoying, it is easy to catch the attention of others.Sun Jinghan was no exception, he couldn't take his eyes away after a glance.

"I heard that someone is going to replace you as my agent."

His tone was relaxed, but he stabbed Sun Jinghan's vitals fiercely. Sun Jinghan let out a "hmm", took out a cigarette and lit it, and took a deep breath.The nicotine took effect, calming his messy thoughts: "It seems that Sister Hui is working behind it, and I am dealing with it."

"Sister Hui is so strong, how do you deal with it?"

Sun Jinghan smiled wryly, besides pinning his hopes on Qin Hao, what else could he do?This time the opponent is sister Hui, even if Chen Moting insists on not changing his agent, it will not help, besides, Chen Moting will not stand by his side.

Seeing Sun Jinghan's troubled look, Chen Moting had the idea of ​​playing a prank on the spur of the moment, and decided to temporarily hide that Sister Hui was not seeking profit for herself but poaching for Qiao Zheng, and she would not succeed: "I won't change managers, only you know I'm gay, idiot I let you go."

Sun Jinghan stubbed out the cigarette, looked up at Chen Moting who was standing in front of him, and grabbed his outstretched hand: "Maybe you will shine in the hands of other managers."

Chen Moting pulled him up, but he didn't retreat to make way, but took advantage of the situation and hugged him into his arms.Sun Jinghan withstood his height and weight that had grown so much in the past two years with difficulty, stepped back half a step and stood firm.

"You are not as comfortable as before."

"I used to be bigger than you."

"Don't be dejected, Brother Sun." Chen Moting let go of him and put his hands in his pockets, "We can make achievements in a short period of time and win attention. If Sister Hui insists on changing managers regardless of my wishes, we will make a big fuss , she is an old-fashioned agent, others will say that she bullies the small for profit."

"You think too simply. Even if this method is feasible, how can we win attention in a short time?"

"I have a little unknown past." Chen Moting stretched out his right hand, using his index finger and thumb to measure the distance of one centimeter, "I will contribute it to you as a trump card."

In less than three days, Chen Moting's orphan background occupied a prominent position on the entertainment pages of major portal websites, overshadowing the scandals and marriages on the bad streets for a while, and became a hot gossip in the entertainment industry.Chen Moting avoided talking about the authenticity of the rumors, claiming to know nothing about the source of the news, and denying it was hype.

"It is my bottom line that my career cannot affect my family. If someone insists on challenging me, I will definitely take measures. Whether there is blood relationship or not, I will be grateful to my family. I love them. There is no doubt about it."

This serious and restrained confession earned a lot of sympathy, and also attracted a lot of cynicism-the film was announced to be completed, and the leading actor immediately burst into gossip. The coincidence of timing makes it hard to believe that this is not a hype.In the eyes of some onlookers, gossip speculation can be forgiven, but taking advantage of family ties is an understatement.

Chen Moting ignored the swarm of negative comments, and left everything on Weibo to Sun Jinghan.

It's a fact that he grew up in an orphanage, and fact-based hype isn't afraid to investigate.The only secret he worries about being exposed is that although his household registration is under the name of a couple of old people, the adoptive father he really recognizes is the old man's son. His elder brother in the legal sense—Chen Shuwei, who is 12 years older than him, is the The man he called "Dad".

The reason why Chen Moting insisted on participating in "A Brother Like a Father" was precisely because he had a great resonance with the character: he also regarded his brother as his father, suffered from the same desire for monopoly, and was also jealous of his brother's lover to the point of madness... he It was because he was really in the movie that he played the role so deeply that the completion of the movie left a huge hole in his heart, and the thoughts that had been buried for a long time spewed out.

In the name of keeping Sun Jinghan's job, he involved the past of the orphanage, but his ultimate goal was to play the weak and attract Chen Shuwei to show up.

Chen Shuwei has a strong savior plot towards him, even if he keeps severing the relationship between father and son, he will definitely show up when he is in trouble.At least Chen Moting hoped so.

As expected, Chen Shuwei really appeared.

He stood up from the sofa in the small reception room, nodded to Sun Jinghan who was behind Chen Moting, and Sun Jinghan also nodded, leaving to give them a chance to be alone.

"dad."

Just as Chen Moting was about to say "I miss you", Chen Shuwei stepped forward and slapped him on the top of the head: "Little bastard, don't go home for a long time to see."

"What's none of my business?" Chen Moting was full of emotions and hypocrisy that were slapped away by this slap, and defended with his head covered, "Obviously you are the one who wants to sever ties with me!"

Three years ago, the father and son had a big quarrel about entering the entertainment industry. Both of them had a bad temper.Thinking of Chen Shuwei's slap in the face, Chen Moting still feels his ears buzzing.

Chen Shu raised his eyebrows slightly, and pointed at Chen Moting's nose: "I said to sever ties, and you really sever ties with me? I've never seen you so obedient. Let me tell you, Chen Moting, your name is still written in your grandparents' household registration book. "

Chen Moting pushed his fingers away: "I know."

No matter how far or how long they are apart, even if one day Chen Shuwei gets tired of this unrelated family relationship, the two are still brothers in law.Because of this, Chen Moting had no fear, and dared to break contact with him on a whim: "I was wrong."

Chen Shuwei softened his stinky face: "I'm also a bastard, I'm sorry."

A "I'm sorry" brought Chen Moting's memory back to many years ago, when Chen Shuwei worked as an accountant in the orphanage and concurrently served as the building manager of the dormitory. All the children liked to be close to him, but only Chen Moting received his special care. I'm sorry" is Chen Moting's prerogative.

Chen Moting later found out that it was the leaders of the hospital who randomly assigned several problem children to the staff to take care of them. The favor he received from Chen Shuwei was purely artificial, and this hypocritical family relationship would end at any time.

Chen Moting never expected that he would be Chen Shuwei's only "luggage" when he left the orphanage, and this "I'm sorry" can be heard now with peace of mind.

"I told you a long time ago not to be an actor. You can find out everything about Chen Zhima and rotten millet about Yihong. You didn't listen to any advice back then, but now it's better." Chen Shu frowned and complained, and didn't continue to blame him, "Are you okay? ?”

"What could be the matter?" Chen Moting smiled, "I don't care if others know that I'm an orphan, what I'm afraid of is that you will be disturbed, if things get to that point, I won't be an actor anymore."

"You don't have to worry about adults." Chen Shuwei put a cigarette in his mouth and turned to look at him, "Can you smoke?"

Chen Moting nodded, got up and closed the blinds, locked the door, took the cigarette and lighter.

"Who did you learn from?"

"Sun Jinghan."

Chen Shuwei had a complex expression, exhaled a puff of smoke, and used the smoke to avoid his sight: "If you really like being an actor, don't give up for us. In the past few years, I have been angry with you and have not fulfilled my parental responsibility. It is nothing to take some risks now .One day I really don’t want to do it anymore, there is always a way out for you at home.”

Chen Moting has never seen him so hesitant to speak: "How are you and Uncle Ling?"

Chen Shu smiled: "He and I are destined to be tied together for the rest of our lives, what's wrong with that? Now that we've come to this point, Mo Ting, let me ask you, did you want to hurry up when you were so persistent in wanting to be an actor?" Get rid of us? After all, Ling Jian and I are both men, so we are not a normal family."

"No." Chen Moting controlled the speed of his speech, so that he didn't sound like he was arguing against his will, "You confessed your relationship before you took me out of the orphanage, and if I couldn't stand it, I wouldn't leave with you. We are completely together A normal family is more harmonious than many families. You even go out to open a house to solve your physical problems, and it won't affect me."

Chen Shuwei was unprepared and took a puff of smoke: "Who did you hear that we went out to open a room?"

"Otherwise, why do you two always work overtime on the same night?" Chen Moting said with a smile, "I don't need others to tell me, I'll figure it out when I'm old."

"Bunny."

Chen Shuwei's shoulders sank, apparently he had let go of the long-standing psychological burden, and started to smoke with a smile.

After Chen Moting left home, his height has grown crazily, and he is now taller than him, so if he wants to hold him in his arms again, there is no sense of disobedience.

Strangely, Chen Moting lost that impulse, and no longer wanted to kiss him.

It can be seen that time and distance are indeed good medicine for quitting addiction. It was the right choice to seize the opportunity of acting and run away from home.

Less than an hour after the long-awaited reunion, Chen Moting had to rush to the studio, leaving the parents and manager to speak to the media in unison, so that the reporters would not be caught off guard at the door.

Sun Jinghan and Chen Shuwei only had a passionate encounter once, and Chen Shuwei was furious at him for helping Chen Moting gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, and dropped his phone without saying a few words.After that, Sun Jinghan couldn't get through his phone calls, and the messages he sent also fell into the sea.At the time, Sun Jinghan was surprised that his voice didn't sound like someone who was nearly forty years old. It was only when they met this time that he realized that Chen Shuwei was younger than himself, and that he was able to exercise his parental power confidently, taking care of my son one by one.

Chen Shuwei's attitude was completely different from that of the past, and the two communicated very smoothly. He asked for Sun Jinghan's business card and apologized for his previous rudeness: "Thank you for helping me take care of Mo Ting."

"My business." Sun Jinghan sorted out the documents on the table, "Mr. Chen doesn't plan to stay in Beijing for a few more days?"

"No, I can't get away from work."

Sun Jinghan stood up: "It's a pity."

"Broker Sun." Chen Shuwei raised his right hand and pressed down, "I haven't finished talking yet."

Sun Jinghan looked at him and sat back down again.

"I have been donating to the orphanage in the name of Moting, and I keep the donation receipt. If you need to call me directly. If you need funds, you can also contact me. I can afford 200 million."

"Ok."

Sun Jinghan saw from his expression that there were more important matters, and waited quietly for him to speak.

Chen Shuwei's Adam's apple twitched up and down, and he tapped the table with clasped hands: "Mo Ting was placed at the gate of the orphanage when he was less than one year old. There was also a note with the words 'Chen Moting' and the date of birth."

Sun Jinghan's heart suddenly turned cold: "...You mean, his name was given by his biological parents?"

"Yes, Mo Ting doesn't know about this, I hope you don't tell him the truth."

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Sun Jinghan got up and flipped the chair, "It's only a matter of time before his biological parents come to the door. Do you know how much confusion and trouble this will cause? He can avoid risks by debuting under a stage name. You What's the use of saying this now?"

"Which bastard made him a star?" Chen Shuwei got angry and punched everything on the table, "Originally, he could continue to go to school after playing that juvenile delinquent! Otherwise, he would Go home! It's you ignorant thing that makes him more and more famous!"

Both of them regarded each other as enemies and stared at each other for a long time. Chen Shu raised his face and took a deep breath, put one hand on the edge of the table, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, this matter is indeed my fault."

The words "I'm sorry" came out of his mouth like magic, Sun Jinghan was so angry that he couldn't vent, he frowned and sat back in his chair to calm down: "It doesn't matter who is wrong, the most urgent thing is to find a way to make it up, I miss you He also does not want to compete with his biological parents for the position of parent."

"I won't fight for it." Chen Shuwei's answer was lacking in fighting spirit, "I'm afraid Manager Sun thinks it's not suitable for me to be a father at my age." He didn't wait for Sun Jinghan to answer, and continued, "I couldn't give Mo Ting a A healthy and complete family, even if he doesn’t admit it, I know he wants to become an actor because he wants to leave home. Maybe his real parents will give him a better family environment, but in any case, the right to choose should be left to him.”

"I think Mo Ting will choose you."

Chen Shu smiled wryly: "At that time, I will advise him to consider his future as an actor before making a choice."

"No matter what your opinion is, I don't think he will wrong himself to admit his blood parents. One day he will stand on the cusp of this matter."

On the surface, Sun Jinghan was accusing Chen Shuwei, but actually he was secretly scolding himself for being useless—if it wasn’t for keeping his job, Chen Moting would not have brought up this hype. No matter how innocent it seems, being abandoned would be a scar in his heart.Now, this hype has planted hidden dangers for Chen Moting's career, all of which are due to his incompetence as a manager.

"Mr. Chen." Sun Jinghan said, "I promise you that I will do everything possible to avoid Mo Ting's dilemma."

There is gradually a voice in the public opinion, saying that Chen Moting is neither a major nor a college dropout, and has not had much contact with the society. It is impossible to play the role of a dark and complicated juvenile delinquent, unless he is dark and complicated, and then infers that he must be an orphan; He also said that this is a slut's hypocritical farce. There is no loss in admitting that he is an orphan, but the ambiguity is tantalizing.

As soon as this voice became popular, it immediately triggered a larger-scale war of words.

Although Chen Moting is a young actor wandering in the third and fourth tiers, he is recognized as a good person in the circle. Not to mention the friends of big and small stars, the hosts he chatted with, the teachers he consulted, and people of all kinds who he worked with all stood up for him. He speaks.Chen Moting has no need to confront anyone head-on, let alone play the role of the victim, he can enjoy the benefits by keeping silent.

Coupled with the fact that Sun Jinghan guided wave after wave of public opinion by incisively behind the scenes, not only made a big noise, but also inexplicably gained a group of loyal fans.

Chen Moting lay on the car seat and checked Weibo for a while, then picked up his mobile phone and said, "You really have a way of cursing people."

"Thank you for the compliment." Sun Jinghan glanced at the rearview mirror, only seeing his long bent legs, "If you want someone to defend you, someone has to stand up and discredit you first."

"Your phrase 'the Madonna's brainless fan' scolded a group of onlookers, and they scolded back not to defend me, but to protect their own IQ."

"They themselves can't tell who they are defending, so you can pity them and treat them as fans, don't be too picky."

Chen Moting was happy: "It's true."

"It's rare to be idle during the Spring Festival this year. Do you want to go back to Qingdao to have a good New Year?"

Chen Moting turned over and sat up, and took out a cigarette from Sun Jinghan's chest pocket over the back of the chair: "How do I remember that there is work to do?"

"There was work to do, I made adjustments for you."

"It's too much, and I'll call it back." Chen Moting hid back in the rear compartment, lit a cigarette and sucked his lips, "It's the same whenever I go home, and I don't have to rush for the Spring Festival."

Although his name is written in Chen Shuwei's parents' household registration book, Mr. Chen still doesn't know about it.Before Chen Moting left home, every New Year's Eve, he voluntarily went back to the orphanage as a volunteer, celebrating the New Year with a group of orphans and left-behind teachers.For him, New Year's Eve is just a day to concentrate on eating dumplings, nothing special and not worth looking forward to.

"Do you have any other work during Chinese New Year?"

Sun Jinghan said in his heart that you are the only up-and-coming actor in my hand, how can there be so much work: "No."

"Then you go back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year." Chen Moting said, "It's only a week, and I can handle work by myself."

"No, I don't have a good relationship with my family."

Chen Moting's good intentions were rejected, and he felt a little displeased: "Why? Your family is more difficult than mine?"

"To be honest, I don't think you are difficult."

Chen Moting kept smoking for a few seconds, and the corner of his mouth twitched a few times: "By the way, how do you know that Qiao Zheng is homophobic?"

Sun Jinghan didn't realize how blunt he was turning the topic, so he went on: "There is a legend in the company that he was a contracted actor of Tianming at the height of the sky, and he was suddenly hidden until the contract expired. Apart from refusing to be submerged, it is very difficult There are other possibilities. The unspoken rules of the entertainment industry 20 years ago are no different from what they are now. Many straight men are willing to endure humiliation and bend once or twice. homophobic."

"Those who want to unspokenly rule Qiao Zheng, how are they doing now?"

Sun Jinghan smiled: "That man is our big boss, and he is living a good life. So you should give up. Qiao Zheng dares to refuse even the boss, so don't even think about it."

Chen Moting scratched the back of the chair and said with a smile: "What if I encounter unspoken rules?"

"I would advise you to decline."

"Why, do you feel sorry for me?"

Sun Jinghan squinted at him: "I'm afraid you beat someone up on the bed."

When he first entered the industry, he hated unspoken rules and offended many people. Although he will not take the initiative to find a backstage for an artist, he will not directly reject the broker who comes to him. Instead, he will act as a microphone. If he promised, he would block it back, only Chen Moting was an exception - no matter how unknown an actor was, as long as he was young and good-looking, someone would want to get his hands on him. Since the two cooperated, the demand for Chen Moting was raised four times, and Sun Jinghan blocked Chen Moting without telling him. .At first it was because he had just grown up and hadn't experienced much in the world, but later it became a habit and he couldn't get rid of it.

Rumors of personnel changes continued to spread, but Qin Hao, who promised to help, remained silent.Seeing that the end of the year was approaching, Sun Jinghan became more and more restless - he called Qin Hao several times to find out the situation, but was always answered with a perfunctory sentence of "you can just rest assured".So when Qin Hao called at two o'clock in the morning to ask him to go to the bar, he got up from the bed and rushed over without thinking.

Qin Hao was wearing a brand-name suit, even if he didn't wear a tie and loosened the collar, he still didn't fit in a bar.There is only one goblet on the table, and the red wine in the glass bottle has not been touched at all. It is obvious from a glance that it is prepared for Sun Jinghan alone.

Sun Jinghan smiled and walked over.

"It took me some time to lay the groundwork with Kong Dongyue, and I just talked about you today." Qin Hao poured a glass of wine, put his fingers on the handle and pushed it in front of him, "Boss Tianming promised to help you, who dares to say half-heartedly?" A word?"

A stone fell to the ground in Sun Jinghan's heart, and he drank it in one gulp: "Thank you, Mr. Qin."

Qin Hao refilled a glass for him, and grabbed his wrist before he took the wine: "What's the matter? Every time you want to go to bed with me, your hands and feet are cold. Are you afraid of me?"

Sun Jinghan's face was swollen by Jiu Jin'er, and he said with a smile: "The blood is concentrated in the middle of his legs, of course his hands and feet are cold."

Qin Hao stared into his eyes, let him go in disappointment, and turned the wine glass to turn the wet mouth marks in front of him: "Don't force yourself." He took a sip of the wine, frowned in disgust, "Letting Chen Moting play the second male number is to see The friendship between me and you before. This time, it is to make up for the favor I owed you back then, and now we don't owe each other, so you don't have to rush into your arms."

The smile on Sun Jinghan's face froze, and Qin Hao's eyes did not escape.

"I will have many opportunities to help you in the future, and then we will talk about repayment." Qin Hao looked at him meaningfully, "Always remember that I am Kong Dongyue's relationship, and it will be good for you."

Sun Jinghan raised his wine glass, swallowed the wine, and his mind was full of the words "drinking poison to quench thirst".
