The Eye of the Storm

In fact, it was Lin Yan's idea to go to the Academy Awards. In early March, he specially flew to Los Angeles to find Cao Ye.

At that time, Cao Ye was playing basketball with a group of classmates on the middle school playground. When he was dribbling the ball to break through, a very authentic Beijing accent suddenly came from his ear: "Yezi, put his hat on!" He looked up, Lin Yan Standing outside the barbed wire, cheering him on vigorously.

In a daze, the basketball in his hand was intercepted. Cao Ye cursed in a low voice, walked towards Lin Yan after the end of the game, raised his hand to wipe the sweat that was dripping from his chin, and asked Lin Yan: "What are you doing?" coming?"

"Yo, I have abs." Lin Yan whistled at him.

"It's already there," Cao Ye went to the kiosk next to the basketball court to buy an iced soda, and after paying the money, he turned to look at Lin Yan, "Come to see me for something?"

"I asked you to go to the Golden Statue Awards." Lin Yan took the soda he handed over, "I said that your little beauty is amazing, and she was nominated for the best actor. Why don't I accompany you to the show?"

Cao Ye raised his head and drank a few sips of water, put down the bottle and let out a soft snort: "Forget it, obviously you want to see what he looks like."

Lin Yan did not deny his statement, hooked his shoulders, squeezed the two admission invitations in his hand and shook them in front of his eyes: "Just say whether you want to go or not."

"I don't want to go." Cao Ye raised his hand to remove the arm that was on his shoulder, and walked a few steps faster.Half a year had passed, and now he saw that Lin Yan didn't want to vomit anymore, but he still felt a little uncomfortable thinking that Lin Yan might have some kind of thoughts about Liang Sizhe.If it wasn't for Lin Yan who often came over to him shamelessly to play with him after the incident, it is estimated that they would have broken off their friendship by now, and for a while he didn't want to talk to anyone and just wanted to be by himself.

"What did you say?" Lin Yan followed, "If you don't go, I'll go by myself. Isn't it easy to find someone to introduce the little beauty?"

Cao Ye turned his face to look at him, frowned slightly and said, "Don't recruit him."

"You don't care," Lin Yan turned his head and walked towards the school gate in the opposite direction, not forgetting to stimulate him with the invitation letter, "Then I'm leaving. The last time I saw the paparazzi secretly took pictures of the little beauty, it was very beautiful."

"Are you sick, Lin Yan?!" Cao Ye turned around and followed, trying to snatch the tickets from Lin Yan's hand, but Lin Yan saw that the situation was not right, and ran away.

One in front of the other, one ran fiercely, and the other chased fiercely, running far away from the school gate before stopping.

Lin Yan was chased by him so much that he couldn't run anymore, and he stopped and walked a few steps out of breath: "Okay, okay, do you take it seriously when I lied to you? You little beauty is in love with Hu Yusi, you don't know ?”

Cao Ye originally wanted to chase him out and grab the invitation letter in his hand, but he didn't continue to go close to snatch it, and slowed down, panting and asked him, "When did it happen?"

"I just hooked up with each other in filming, Liang Sizhe, is that his name? Yan Fu is not shallow, and Hu Yusi's figure is a stunner! Don't you really know?"

"How do I know?" Cao Ye said.Since he went to the film crew last summer, he hadn't contacted Liang Sizhe again. At first he thought he was with those two people, but after he calmed down, he felt that Liang Sizhe might not know about the relationship between Cao Xiuyuan and Zheng Yin. When I was so close to Zheng Yin before, I never thought about going there, maybe Liang Sizhe is the same as him.

But every time he thought of Liang Sizhe, he was still a little upset, and even Cao Ye himself felt a little baffled. Thinking about it, he probably cared that Liang Sizhe got too close to those two people, so that he couldn't restrain himself from venting his anger on him.

But now that he heard the news of Liang Sizhe's relationship from Lin Yan, Cao Ye was stunned, feeling complicated for a moment.

Is Liang Sizhe in love?With Peng Yan's actor Hu Yusi?Why didn't he mention it to himself?

Could it be that Liang Sizhe wanted to tell him about the phone call he didn't answer half a year ago?

Hu Yusi knew that to be chosen to play Peng Yan, it was natural to have both beauty and flair, but wasn't she several years older than Liang Sizhe?

I started to get upset again, obviously I didn't expect Cao Xiuyuan and Zheng Yin, how could I get upset just thinking of Liang Sizhe?

"What do you think?" Lin Yan leaned over and asked.

"Can you have any ideas?" Cao Ye glanced at him, "A man's talent and a woman's appearance are a perfect match."

"Tsk tsk." Lin Yan shook his head with a smile, and asked again, "Then tell me, are you still going to the awards ceremony?"

"Go." Cao Ye said.

He went back to the school dormitory to take a shower, changed his clothes, and then skipped class and took a [-]-hour flight with Lin Yan from Los Angeles to Hong Kong.

There was a loud roar when the plane took off, Lin Yan tilted his head and asked him in a low voice: "Are your parents really divorced?"

"Ah." Cao Ye responded.

Perhaps it is too normal for the entertainment industry to split and reunite. Lin Yan didn't even ask the reason, but just raised his hand and patted Cao Ye's arm without saying anything.

The plane rose into the sky, without the cover of the clouds, the sun became extremely dazzling.Cao Ye pulled down the shade, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes.

In fact, he didn't know exactly when Cao Xiuyuan and Li You got divorced, and how they separated, but after he told Li You about it, a few months later, an uncle often came to visit his family. It was his mother's partner, a young orchestra conductor. He was very kind and treated Cao Ye very well. Cao Ye guessed that it might be his mother's boyfriend.

The scene he witnessed more than half a year ago had kept him awake at night. At that time, he wanted to confide the truth to Li You, but he didn't know how to speak. His dad slept with the uncle he had always trusted.

The impact of this incident was too great, and he had to act as a buffer in the middle to minimize the damage to his mother Li You.He's got to get this over with.

He tossed and turned for several nights, carefully choosing his words, and wrote a note to Li You in the morning a few days later:

"Mom, I found out that my dad is with someone else, and I think you can be with other uncles too."

He didn't mention Zheng Yin, he didn't mention homosexuality, and he didn't mention the scene that made him sick that he broke through with his own eyes.

Probably because he was too calm and sensible, Li You also left him a note the next day, saying "Thank you Xiaoye".So the matter passed away so peacefully.

Will you see Cao Xiuyuan and Zheng Yin at the awards ceremony?Cao Ye closed his eyes, and when he thought of the two of them, the feeling of being stuck in his throat came up again. After so long, he still couldn't forget that scene, and he still felt sick when thinking about it.

I don't want to go to the awards ceremony, I don't want to see Cao Xiuyuan and Zheng Yin.

However, he made an appointment with Liang Sizhe to "see you at the awards ceremony". This agreement was made unilaterally by him, and now he unilaterally reneges on the appointment.But having said that, it is not certain whether Liang Sizhe remembers this agreement...

It was only when Cao Ye arrived in Hong Kong that he realized that all his friends had come.

Lin Yan put his shoulders on his shoulders, and spread his palms towards Chi Mingyao and Dabai: "I said he would come soon, and I lost the money."

"Didn't you say you won't come!" Dabai bent his fingers, making a gesture to knock on Cao Ye's forehead, but Cao Ye turned his head to avoid it.

"You told me that too." Chi Mingyao looked at him with a little displeasure.

"No wonder one or two of you are so concerned about whether I will come or not, so you are betting on me!" Cao Ye took Lin Yan's arm off his shoulder again, "I will share half of the winning money."

"It's half enough for me to go to Los Angeles to find your air ticket," Lin Yan refused, "What a huge sum of money do you think they can give me!"

The few people haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and there is no adult to supervise them, so they all had a good time, gathered in the hotel suite and played together all night, opened several bottles of red wine and white wine, and finally slept all over the floor.When I woke up the next day, the TV was still on, and most of the red carpet session was already on the screen, and several people hurriedly got up to wash up.

Cao Ye was brushing his teeth in the bedroom bathroom after taking a shower, and Lin Yan said loudly in the living room: "Ye son, watch TV, the little beauty is out to walk the red carpet!"

Cao Ye's mouth was still full of foam, so he took some water and wiped it casually, and walked into the living room topless.

The crew of "Thirteen Days" walked the red carpet together. When Cao Ye came out, Cao Xiuyuan was taking the microphone. The host asked him to introduce Liang Sizhe to everyone. Cao Xiuyuan only said one sentence: "No need to introduce, you will all know him after tonight. "

These words seemed to indicate that Liang Sizhe would usher in a brilliant stardom after tonight.

His words were exaggerated, but he was Cao Xiuyuan, and no one dared to refute what he said in person.

Dressed beast.Cao Ye said in his heart.

He saw Liang Sizhe standing next to Cao Xiuyuan—he had tied up his hair, was wearing a suit, was slender and straight, and looked sharp.Just hitting there made Cao Xiuyuan's words very convincing.

Lin Yan whistled: "Hey, amazing! She looks much better than Zhang Minghan." Then he turned around to bury Chi Mingyao, "You still say that Ye Zi has a problem with his eyesight!"

"It's rare to be normal once." Chi Mingyao said.

Cao Ye groaned, thinking that I said he was good-looking, but you didn't believe me before.

"It's good-looking, but Lin Yan, you always say little beauty, I thought it was a weak type... Does this person look older than Yezi?" Dabai turned his head and asked Cao Ye, "How old are you, Yezi?"

"Two years old." Cao Ye said.

"It's a lot older." Dabai glanced at Cao Ye, "Yezi, you have good abs!" He turned his head and smiled at Lin Yan, "How do you say that? There are teenagers in the family who have just grown up." He said Both Lin Yan and Lin Yan are three years older than Cao Ye, looking at Cao Ye is like looking at his own younger brother.

When we got to the award ceremony site, the entrance channel was closed, several people circled around for a while, but the security guard refused to let us go.Lin Yan asked Cao Ye to call Liang Sizhe to come out to pick them up, but Cao Ye refused to say anything—just kidding, the award for Best Actor has not yet been awarded, how could he call Liang Sizhe out at this moment?

Chi Mingyao had no choice but to bite the bullet and call his elder brother Chi Mingkai.

While talking on the phone over there, the phone in Cao Ye's hand vibrated. He looked down and saw a text message from Liang Sizhe: "Are you on the scene?"

What should I do?Cao Ye stared at those words and thought, he was at the scene, but he wasn't there, he was late and blocked outside the scene, it's embarrassing...

He bowed his head and typed a few words in the text message box, then deleted them, typed a few more words, and deleted them again. When Chi Mingkai came out to pick them up, Cao Ye didn't send this text message.

Chi Mingkai brought the organizers out, scolded them with a stern face, and finally led them into the arena.The seats were arranged a little towards the front, and they got in rashly for fear of disturbing the order, so they stood behind and watched the awards ceremony.

When they found the place and stood up, the award presenters had finished speaking the string of words, and the screen began to play the nominees for the best actor.

Liang Sizhe appeared in the fourth place. His scenes in "Thirteen Days" flashed across the screen, silently carrying a bucket to heat water for the guests, learning to smoke like Peng Yan, and running up the stairs cautiously and happily...all of them Plots from scripts they had discussed.

Liang Sizhe's award is undoubtedly the dark horse of this year's Academy Awards. When the award presenters pronounced the words "Liang Sizhe", all the audience turned their heads to look at this strange and dazzling boy.

Standing behind, Cao Ye watched Liang Sizhe stand up, and hugged the main crew in turn, first Cao Xiuyuan, then Zheng Yin, then Hu Yusi and Liu Yuan.Then he pushed his way through the crowd, down the promenade, and onto the podium.

The lights on the stage dimmed, leaving only a beam of chasing light on Liang Sizhe.

Liang Sizhe took the trophy, bowed slightly to the microphone, and said a long list of thanks, starting with Cao Xiuyuan and Zheng Yin, as well as the assistant director, cameraman, lighting engineer, makeup artist... Finally, he said "Thank you to everyone in the crew. staff" end.

Just when the audience thought that the long list of thanks was finally finished by him, and they were ready to applaud, they didn't expect him to have something to say.

"Also," Liang Sizhe paused, and the audience followed him, pausing at the moment when they were about to applaud.They waited patiently for him to finish his last sentence. This was a crucial moment in his life, and he deserved all the patience to wait.

One second, two seconds.

The young actor with unruly long hair looked at the audience, and the light reflected his eyebrows and eyes delicately and gently.

There was a long distance between the center of the stage and the back row, so far that Cao Ye couldn't see Liang Sizhe's face clearly, but at that moment he felt that they were looking at each other.

Liang Sizhe opened his mouth, and his deep voice spread to every corner of the big awards ceremony through the microphone:

"Also, thank you Xiaoman, you will always be the most beautiful boy."

This ending was unexpected, and no one expected Liang Sizhe to thank him for his role in the movie at the end.

The audience was stunned for a moment, and then thunderous applause broke out.
