For Love of the Game
Chapter 16
There were about twenty handsome men and women sitting in the huge private room. The delicacies on the table were already cold, and the empty wine bottles were all over the floor. Only the alcohol pot was still steaming, slowly steaming under the dazzling chandelier.
In the noisy room, a handsome man sat quietly in the corner. He looked down at his phone, his slender eyelashes stand out under the light.
On the screen of the mobile phone was a picture of a man leaning lazily on a chair with his legs crossed, a crooked birthday hat on his head, and a pink birthday cake exuding a girlish heart in front of him.He has soft and clean facial features, and his eyes are narrowed when he smiles, just like the cute fox squatting on the cake.
There was an imperceptible smile on Shen Huai's lips, he felt that Song Xueyang and this fox appearing in the same photo were a little indescribably cute.
His fingers rubbed back and forth on the photo, inadvertently, as if he was wiping away the stains on the screen.He swiped down, and netizens and big names in the e-sports circle sent birthday wishes one after another.
[Happy birthday to Team Song! 】
【Happy birthday to husband! !Is it really okay for you big men to order such a pink and tender cake!Fox on the cake rave! ! 】
[Seeing that my husband is still so handsome today, I feel relieved!Happy birthday! 】
Looking at the comments of netizens with different personalities, Shen Huai felt a little heartwarming.Most of the comments on his Weibo are inseparable from his acting skills and his father. Every time he sees the rumors of those people, he feels that this job is meaningless.
Liu Yueran, who was chatting and laughing in the crowd, came over and waved her hand in front of Shen Huai's eyes.
"Big star, don't you want to have a drink or two?"
Seeing that it was Liu Yueran, Shen Huai relaxed a little, "I've already had four drinks."
"Not much!"
"White."
"...They are really ruthless."
Liu Yueran sat down at the side. He saw Shen Huai checking Weibo, and remembered that almost every important actor in the movie "Poor Way" won an award a while ago. Only Shen Huai received nothing except payment.
Thinking of the almost vicious comments on the Internet, Liu Yueran felt a little distressed, she didn't even understand how cruel Shen Nuo was to allow her son to be ridiculed but remain indifferent.With Shen Huai's status, there should be more people who would flatter him, but because of Shen Nuo's strictness and Shen Huai's indifference, those who made fun of themselves became the targets of ridiculing him.
"Don't take those words on the Internet to heart. You have a high starting point, and the audience has such high expectations of you. At the age of 21, how many actors at your age are nervous when they turn on the phone, and they can't understand. Lu You are still growing, and you will definitely not be what you are now in a few years."
As Liu Yueran spoke, she felt a little envious.In the entertainment industry, where youth is eaten, youth is capital.Shen Huai entered the circle earlier than all of them. The accumulation of so many years of experience is a precious wealth that no one else can ask for.
"I won't be acting anymore."
The deep voice came to the ear gently.
Liu Yueran was stunned for two or three seconds, then slowly turned her head.
Shen Huai met her gaze calmly. He acted with his father since he was a child, and most of the people he came into contact with were actors on the set. He rarely talked to his peers. Liu Yueran could be said to be his only friend of the same age, and he didn't intend to hide it.
Liu Yueran knew Shen Huai well, this man was usually quiet and rarely spoke, and because of this, he rarely wasted his tongue on making jokes.
"My mother left early, and my father has always taken me with me. As long as I can remember, I grew up on the set, watching him act and acting with him. He never asked me if I liked it or if I wanted to."
Shen Huai's eyes fell on the banquet in the distance. A group of young people formed cliques, drank and sang songs, but their high enthusiasm seemed noisy and unreal.
Liu Yueran suddenly felt that Shen Huai was really not suitable for this place. His personality and mentality seemed to be unable to integrate into this world with every inch of skin on his body.
"I'm already 21 years old, and I don't want to waste time on meaningless things." Shen Huai said lightly.
Liu Yueran smiled freely, yes, who said that anyone who has acted since childhood must love acting, and the father of an international actor must be good at acting?
Everyone's goals in life are different. How many people indulge in this false prosperity, for fame, profit, and money, have long forgotten their ideals.
She admired Shen Huai's freedom and ease, and also envied him for having this capital.
Liu Yueran didn't ask anything, she patted Shen Huai's shoulder, "Go, go back and have another drink!"
Shen Huai didn't refuse either, and went back to the table to drink again.
I don't know who took out the phone first and looked at it. Gradually, the eyes of the people on the table changed when they looked at Shen Huai.
Shen Huai has always been very controversial in the class, and there are not a few people who can't understand him. He has long been used to it, and he doesn't notice these people's little tricks.
Liu Yueran got drunk but couldn't stand it anymore, "The fate of our classmates getting together for four years, there is something that can't be said in person, this has just graduated for less than a year, and in two or three years, will you watch it on the same set? Are you going to pretend you don't know him?"
Liu Yueran was very prestigious in the class, and when she opened her mouth, some people couldn't sit still.
"No, Sister Ran," he took out his mobile phone and stammered, "It's just that Shen Huai's company officially issued a statement saying that Shen Huai has terminated the contract with the company, and that... Shen Huai is going to quit the circle."
The private room, which was still noisy just now, suddenly became quiet, and the eyes were fixed on the person involved.
In the eyes of everyone, Shen Huai posted on Weibo calmly. An hour ago, the company officially announced that he had terminated the contract with the company due to personal reasons, and at the same time implicitly expressed his wish not to act again.
The company that Shen Huai signed was opened by his father, so it was useless for him to terminate the contract. He did not expect the termination process to be completed so quickly, and the announcement was made at the most inopportune time.
Professor Xu was a little puzzled, "Shen Huai, what's going on?"
Shen Huai stood up and bowed slowly to Professor Xu, "Professor Xu, acting has never been my dream. Thank you for nurturing me, and I will come to see you some other day."
He picked up his coat, turned around and glanced at the classmates on the wine table one by one, "I wish you a bright future."
The four words that are light and fluttering, but it seems that a heavy stone has hit everyone's heart.
They were jealous of Shen Huai's resources, jealous that he had a father who was an actor, and jealous that he had stood at a height beyond their reach since his debut. The only thing they were lucky about was that Shen Huai was a dou who couldn't be supported by mud.
No matter how good resources and background he has, what can he do?It's not like being blackmailed by netizens every day, and even being trampled under by them in the not-too-distant future. This feeling is much better than trying to curry favor with him.
It's just that they never thought that Shen Huai would quit the entertainment industry early, and he never cared about everything they envied.
Shen Huai put on his coat and left the hotel. Now he had to hide as soon as possible to avoid being discovered by the reporters. Unexpectedly, just as he stepped out of the door, a group of people rushed out in the dark.
"Shen Huai! Did you quit the entertainment industry because the accusations made by netizens put you under too much pressure?"
"Shen Huai, are you really going to stop acting from now on? Aren't you afraid that your father will be disappointed by doing this?"
A series of questions were thrown over one after another accompanied by flashing lights, Shen Huai pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, his eyes quickly looked for an opportunity to escape by the side of the road.
At this moment, the lights of a van at the door turned on, and the street lights flashed by, illuminating Song Xueyang's face.
Without even thinking about it, Shen Huai ran over, opened the car door, rushed in and closed the car door with a "bang".
His stomach was overwhelmed, he didn't care about the shocked people in the car, and urged, "I'll throw up if I don't drive again."
"Don't, don't! I just washed the car!" The man sitting in front stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed out like an arrow.
After driving a long way, Shen Huai was still holding onto the doorknob tightly, as if he was afraid that a reporter would catch up.
His head was dizzy, he drank a lot of alcohol, and he was chased by reporters after going out in the cold wind. He would dangle around in the car, and his consciousness was a little hazy.
The driver of the car asked, "Big star, where are you going?"
Shen Huai didn't speak, he didn't want to say a word because of his discomfort.
What's more, with Song Xueyang around, what else would he have to worry about?
If it was Song Xueyang, he would definitely be able to deal with those reporters.
Thinking of this, Shen Huai relievedly let go of the hand holding the car door.
Seeing that he was silent, Song Xueyang patted him on the shoulder lightly, "Shen Huai? Are you going..."
Before he finished speaking, the man's body softened and he fell straight towards himself.Song Xueyang stretched out his hand quickly, but was caught off guard and hit his arms full.
His cold head hit his chest, his fluffy hair almost merged with the black fur collar on his down jacket, and the street lamps that quickly receded outside the window cast light and shadows on his face, like an unbearable bird. Disturb the sleeping elves.
Song Xueyang's heart seemed to have been softened. Seeing the white air exhaled from the tip of Shen Huai's nose, he said in a low voice, "Brother Kun, turn up the air conditioner."
"Oh." The manager glanced in the rearview mirror, "Where are we going?"
"Back to the club."
He turned his head, three small heads were side by side on the car seat, and pairs of bright eyes were staring at the person in his arms.
Song Xueyang jokingly knocked on the heads of the three of them one by one, "What are you looking at, are you sober?"
Only then did a few people lie down and go back.
Song Xueyang lowered his head, Shen Huai's furry head was close at hand, his smooth hair looked very soft, he resisted the urge to raise his hand to touch, and adjusted a comfortable posture for Shen Huai.
Shen Huai slept soundly, as if he was unguarded against himself, all the muscles in his body were in a relaxed state, and he was completely different from the way he pulled the door tightly when he got in the car to avoid reporters rushing up.
Song Xueyang has learned a lot of psychological knowledge since he was a child. He knows that every subconscious reaction of human beings has an inner meaning. Shen Huai's ability to sleep so peacefully proves that he is not only sure that he will not hurt him, but also believes that he can solve those chasing problems. Disappointed reporter.
Song Xueyang raised the corners of her mouth, this feeling of being trusted by people who have no connection with her is really interesting.
Of course, if he couldn't even get rid of a few reporters, he wouldn't be a headache for all the professional teams.
The car stopped downstairs in the club's dormitory. The team manager helped the three brothers in the back row get out of the car, and then came to help Song Xueyang drag Shen Huai out of the car who was sleepy.
I don't know if it was touched by someone or it was too cold outside, but Shen Huai suddenly woke up.
He saw a stranger holding his arm, his sleepy eyes suddenly widened, and he pushed him away forcefully.This push made him feel a little unstable, and being supported by the person on the other side, he suddenly turned his head and grabbed the person's arm tightly, as if he was about to use a capture technique with such strength.
But when he recognized that the person was Song Xueyang, he gently let go of it as if someone had pushed a switch.
The team manager who was pushed away: People are ugly and have no human rights?
Song Xueyang was also a little surprised. He saw Shen Huai slowly close his eyes, and offered to stretch out his hand for him to support, and let him lead him away.She looked really obedient and obedient like that, and a little submissive.
He sent several people back to the room, and then brought Shen Huai back to his dormitory.
The team manager was a little worried, "What are you going to do with him?"
Song Xueyang supported Shen Huai's body that kept sliding, "Let him sleep with me for a night, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."
The manager nodded. Song Xueyang is smarter than an adult in his 30s, so nothing will happen to him.
"Brother Kun, it's getting late, you go back and rest."
"Okay, call me anytime if you need anything."
The dormitory conditions of the Maple Moon team are not bad, each dormitory has two people, two rooms and one living room.
Song Xueyang's roommate just retired this year, and it is still vacant, but no one cleaned the room, and the bedding was thrown away, so no one can sleep on the bed.
He put Shen Huai on the sofa, and went back to the bedroom to take a shower.
The manager picked them up tonight and drove the team car. Although they got rid of those reporters, they could find Fengyue's head with a little care. Reporters in the entertainment circle are not as easy to fool as reporters in the e-sports circle. Song Xueyang had a hunch that he would definitely be on the news tomorrow morning.
Suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, the bathroom door was pushed open suddenly, Shen Huai threw himself on the toilet beside him and vomited.
Naked Song Xueyang: ...
It seems that it is too early to think about tomorrow.
In the noisy room, a handsome man sat quietly in the corner. He looked down at his phone, his slender eyelashes stand out under the light.
On the screen of the mobile phone was a picture of a man leaning lazily on a chair with his legs crossed, a crooked birthday hat on his head, and a pink birthday cake exuding a girlish heart in front of him.He has soft and clean facial features, and his eyes are narrowed when he smiles, just like the cute fox squatting on the cake.
There was an imperceptible smile on Shen Huai's lips, he felt that Song Xueyang and this fox appearing in the same photo were a little indescribably cute.
His fingers rubbed back and forth on the photo, inadvertently, as if he was wiping away the stains on the screen.He swiped down, and netizens and big names in the e-sports circle sent birthday wishes one after another.
[Happy birthday to Team Song! 】
【Happy birthday to husband! !Is it really okay for you big men to order such a pink and tender cake!Fox on the cake rave! ! 】
[Seeing that my husband is still so handsome today, I feel relieved!Happy birthday! 】
