The CEO of their company booked a banquet hall at the Grand Hotel to host a welcoming reception for LanXiRong. In fact, LanXiRong had returned twice, seeming to prepare for his record. But the film did indeed take more than a year to complete filming. After it was completed, his popularity in the country is already very different from before.
On this day, most of the company’s people had arrived. Their company is not very large, but still, there were about 70- 80 people and their profits have been good. Their boss is from a 2nd generation wealthy family. The businesses in his hands are very vast but his personality is a bit strange. Still, he is a good person, giving the employees great benefits. Whether it is ZhouXiang or other employees, working in this company has been very comfortable.
As ZhouXiang entered the hotel, he first noticed CaiWei welcoming the guests downstairs. He greeted him and walked by but CaiWei is too busy to socialize with him, “Go up by yourself, it’s on the second floor.”
There are many big-shot celebrities attending from entertainnt circle. When soone is popular (LanXiRong) it is obviously very easy to rally a powerful crowd. There are at least three hundred attendees and at least ten dia reporters. Their President Wang is evidently trying to hype up interest for LanXiRong.
Although ZhouXiang is a relatively unknown martial arts stuntman, he’s widely known within the entertainnt circle. He, himself, knows many people. Adding on, with his warming personality, he gets along with everyone. So along the way, he t many acquaintances, greeting each of them tirelessly.
Looking around after he got upstairs, he finally spotted LanXiRong and their President Wang, who were being surrounded by a group of people in the middle of the banquet hall.
LanXiRong looked just like he does on TV... tall and handso; his face is like a crown jade with two visible dimples when he laughs. He looks very adorable. His fresh temperant between a man and a boy can really make people like him trendously.
When ZhouXiang saw LanXiRong’s flushed with successful contented appearance; it was really hard for him to feel any connection now to this youngster. LanXiRong was once at a complete loss with his future, having just graduated from the film academy. This was the youngster who would always co over to his ho to hang out and eat hot pot.
ZhouXiang wandered over aimlessly.
LanXiRong and President Wang both saw him at the sa ti. LanXiRong’s eyes suddenly sparkled, unable to take his eyes off of ZhouXiang, his expression looking a bit excited.
ZhouXiang very naturally and calmly greeted him, “XiRong, Xiang Ge congratulates you on your triumphant return.” Then, he smiled at President Wang, "President Wang, you’re back.” After saying that, he consciously moved to his side and greeted the guests that he knew, not leaving any ti for LanXiRong.
LanXiRong’s eyes flashed a tinge of disappointnt, but there were many people surrounding him talking so he couldn’t just distract himself. He could only sneak glances at ZhouXiang from ti to ti.
ZhouXiang whispered to the originally pale and chubby President Wang, “President Wang, you got tan.”
President Wang humphed twice, “What’s up?”
ZhouXiang narrowed his eyes, “(You) Going to Tibet to pray to Buddha and having only eaten vegetarian food, not touching at for three months, don’t everyone look oddly good since your return?"
President Wang glared at him, “I can just see that you look oddly good, how about I drown you (with work)?"
ZhouXiang smiled, “Bring it on, I most certainly welco it.”
President Wang looked at him blankly, “Hold with the nonsense. Co aside, I have sothing to ask you.”
When the two of them walked aside, President Wang asked, “I heard that Director Wang and WangYuDong’s quarrel got a bit unpleasant. You were also on the set; do you know what’s going on?"
“The two don’t like each other. Director Wang has a fierce temper and WangYuDong has never been subjected to this kind of temperant, gradually there would be so contradictions."
President Wang furrowed his brows, “I’ve invested a lot in this movie. It can’t afford any impedints. I’ll find a day to have a chat with Xiao Wang.”
“If it cos from you, it’ll definitely help."
President Wang embarrassingly uttered, “Not necessarily. The Xiao Wang now can’t be compared to the past.”
“Why?”
“Climbed onto so high branch.”
“What does that an? Whose branch did he climb onto?"
President Wang was going to say sothing, but suddenly glared at him, “You kid, why are you so gossipy?” ZhouXiang felt wronged, "You’re the one that brought it up first.”
The two still have sothing to say but LanXiRong’s voice sounded from behind ZhouXiang.
“Xiang Ge.”
ZhouXiang turned his head. LanXiRong had already gotten rid of the other people and is quietly looking at him. ZhouXiang knew that he can’t hide. He raked through his hair, “Let’s go to the balcony and chat?”
The two went to the balcony and closed the French doors. It’s a bit cold outside; ZhouXiang lit a cigarette and smiled, “XiRong, seeing you like this, I’m really happy for you."
LanXiRong’s beautiful eyes stared at ZhouXiang’s face and softly muttered, “Xiang Ge, I’m sorry toward you, I was too ignorant at the ti.”
“Forget it. It’s all in the past, don’t ntion it.”
LanXiRong lowered his head and sullenly voiced, “I didn’t even know what happened at the ti... I’ve always thought that you treating well and helping is because you thought of as a friend. I didn’t think that you had other thoughts. I felt insulted. In fact, no matter what, you really helped a lot, but I ......”
ZhouXiang blew out a puff of smoke said faintly responded, “I really did treated you like a friend, actually more like a younger brother. But you knew early on that I am gay. Just like the kind of thoughts you would have seeing a beautiful girl, especially when the person is constantly wandering in front of your eyes. At that ti, I had wanted to ask if you were straight or gay. If you don’t like n, I also won’t pester you. Anyway, we’re still friends....forget it. Let’s not ntion the past. I was also wrong. I’ve scared you."
LanXiRong lifted his head and said emotionally, “Xiang Ge, I’m sorry. This is really my fault. I obviously knew that you are gay. Yet I still like for you to treat well, making you misunderstand. I’ve mocked you in such manners, yet you still so generously let it go, I....... can you forgive ?”
When ZhouXiang rembered the things from the past, he really felt screwed.
At that ti, when the two were going through unpleasant tis, he had wanted to ask LanXiRong specifically, "You said that you are not GAY, then why the hell are you always coming to my ho and constantly getting near ? I confessed to you, yet you fucking feel wronged. Is there sothing like this?"
However, even at the ti when LanXiRong misunderstood him, he didn’t get angry; thinking that he’s young and have not yet matured. ZhouXiang comforted himself and endured it. After all, he really liked this little boy and didn’t want to have a fall-out with him. He can just distant himself. That would be good enough.
Now that LanXiRong turned around and apologize to him, he felt that this matter is very satisfactory settled between them.
ZhouXiang said softly, “Xiang Ge doesn’t bla you. I didn’t bla you before. Don’t think too much. We’re both from the sa company. We’ll see each other all the ti. Whatever happens in the future, will happen. Don’t feel burdened with it, okay?"
The rim of LanXiRong’s eyes turned a bit red. With big strides forward, he forcefully hugged ZhouXiang, his voice choking a bit, “Xiang Ge, I’ve missed you so much during this ti.”
What is this again?
ZhouXiang is stunned.
“When I just got to Arica, I can’t even speak their language clearly. Everything is so unfamiliar. Just like the ti when I first ca to Beijing, no one treated as well as you did. I’ve wanted to call you several tis but I didn’t dare. I’ve since regret it more and more. I really wanted to co back to find you... Xiang Ge, sorry, can we still be the sa as before?" LanXiRong is just like a child in ZhouXiang’s arms, telling him his heartfelt thoughts. The more he talked, the sadder he beca.
ZhouXiang sighed, feeling a bit softhearted as he patted LanXiRong’s shoulder, "I really don’t bla you, don’t cry."
LanXiRong suppressed himself from crying out; but his tone is already off. He wiped his eyes and grabbed onto ZhouXiang’s arm, “Xiang Ge, can we be like before? Can I go to your ho to eat hot pot?”
ZhouXiang rembered that his ho is already raising a living thing (YanMingXiu), but he couldn’t really refuse a al so he frankly responded, “That’s not a problem, you’re welco at any ti.”
LanXiRong finally exposed a smile.
“Hey, let’s hurry back. Everyone is here, the lead can’t be missing.”
The two returned to the banquet hall together. The host began to express LanXiRong’s achievents with great enthusiasm. LanXiRong ca onto the stage and very mannerly thanked a bunch of people. Although it was words for the occasion, it was all very fittingly appropriate.
ZhouXiang felt a burst of emotions, the little clueless boy from the past really had grown up.
Because there were so many acquaintances, ZhouXiang ended up drinking so much that he beca unconscious. LanXiRong’s had his driver take him ho.
LanXiRong is extrely familiar with ZhouXiang’s residence. During his lonely ti in Arica, he didn’t know how many tis he dreamt of carrying food ingredients, coming to this familiar ho and knocking on this warmly door, having a gentle and humorous older brother listening and sharing his tribulations with work and helping him relieve is anxieties and difficulties.
The car stopped downstairs, LanXiRong sent the driver away. He personally took ZhouXiang upstairs, intending to stay in his ho for the night.
He pulled out ZhouXiang’s key and opened the door. The room is dark. He familiarly touched the switch on the wall and turned on the light.
Suddenly, footsteps ca from the front. A man ca out of the bedroom wearing loose pajama pants. LanXiRong looked up and sees YanMingXiu directly in front of him. Both of them were stunned.
LanXiRong seeing YanMingXiu’s attire, it is obvious that this person lives here. He.....is he ZhouXiang’s boyfriend?
This reality is sothing he couldn’t imdiately accept. He asked sternly, “Who are you?” He rather wished that YanMingXiu is a random thief but he knew that there’s no thief that could have such bewitching appearance like that of YanMingXiu.
YanMingXiu is also furious, so much that his fingertips were trembling. ZhouXiang is drunkenly in the arms of a young and attractive man...both even coming back together at past 2 in the middle of the night!
Based on how ZhouXiang wanted to have sex with him the first ti they t, he knew that ZhouXiang is soone that is definitely easy, but since he was already with him, how dare he bring other n ho in the middle of the night!
The two glared at each other, the scene looking as though they are ready to fight.
YanMingXiu asked coldly, “I should be asking you this? Who is letting you casually co into OUR ho?” YanMingXiu clearly emphasized the word “OUR.”
LanXiRong’s face that had beco blushed from drinking instantly paled.
Xiang Ge has a boyfriend... Right, why won’t he? How can Xiang Ge not have a boyfriend? Why would he continue on waiting for him?
LanXiRong felt a burst of sadness. He didn’t know what he’s thinking. He only knew that he hated this man in front of him to the extre. What gives him the right to be standing in this living room? This is the place where he and Xiang Ge hang out.
YanMingXiu’s temper is initially bad to start with, at this ti, he is so enraged that he wanted to use the broomstick to kick LanXiRong out. He ca forward and roughly grabbed ZhouXiang, “The person is ho, hurry and get the fuck out.”
LanXiRong refused to let go of ZhouXiang. The two of them pulled for a while. ZhouXiang’s body tilted and fell to the ground.
YanMingXiu imdiately caught him.
LanXiRong looked at his empty hands, his heart felt unbearably terrible.
YanMingXiu glanced coldly at him, “Stop being persistent, ZhouXiang already have soone. You don’t need to be concern about him in the future.”
LanXiRong glared at him hatefully, then turned and slamd the door.
YanMingXiu looked at ZhouXiang, who is unconscious in his arms. The furor in his heart burned more and more.
He can’t stand ZhouXiang having these thoughts of other people. ZhouXiang’s eyes should only be looking at him.
