call my name

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Lin Xia's life in the past 21 years was a pool of stagnant water.

In a daze in the corner of the dark and dilapidated orphanage, I grew up slowly being rejected and rejected, and gradually got used to ignoring the expressions of others when they saw the ugly scars on my face.Occasionally, I will be happy for a short time when I get something good, and soon there is a voice in my mind reminding myself coldly and bitterly——

You are guilty.

You have to be punished for doing something wrong, you don't deserve to enjoy this!

One evening in the spring when he was five years old, Lin Xia, who was playing on the high embankment, fell into the river.In spring, the water was shallow, he first fell on the shallows, and then sank to the bottom; Qu Niannian also fell together - she didn't stand firmly at the time, and Lin Xia tripped over her feet in the panic of falling.Fortunately, villagers returning from work passed by at that time, and the two poor orphans were rescued from the bottom of the river.

The price of being mischievous this time was that a large erythema had accumulated on Lin Xia's originally fair face, and it was even more unlucky for Qu Niannian. She injured her spine when she fell, and her legs were gradually paralyzed due to no treatment.

This was what the other children told him one after another when he woke up.Maybe it was his head hitting a rock in the shallows. He couldn't remember the situation at that time, and even his memory before the age of five became completely blank.The caretakers of the orphanage don't have the extra energy to accompany him to restore his memory; even if he remembers it, so what, the memory of an orphan is bitter, so forget it.

From then on, he lived under Qu Niannian's resentful eyes.

Because the extra scars on his face are scary, Lin Xia tries to stay in a corner that doesn't attract attention most of the time.In a small city orphanage where childcare workers are understaffed, they are naturally ignored and even rejected.He doesn't care about other people's attitudes, but for Qu Niannian, he always feels guilty and takes care of her as much as he can.The orphan has nothing, and the occasional visitor will distribute candy to the children. Lin Xia always gives Qu Niannian every piece of the candy, thinking that he is atonement for her sins.

Since coming to S City, every time he earns a poor salary, he always only keeps his own necessary expenses, and remits the rest of the money to Qu Niannian who stays in Yunnan.As for what will happen tomorrow and where his life will go, he really hasn't thought about it.

But what Tian Bin said was right, at least he would get a stable salary if he signed a contract with Shiyu, and he would save money faster.Lin Xia quickly made an appointment for the hospital. After his role in the film crew ended, he took the subway several times and came to the city for surgery.

The sun at the end of winter warms hands and feet, and although the oncoming wind is still chilly, it can already faintly smell the breath of spring.Lin Xia temporarily forgot the weird feeling when she looked in the mirror just now, and didn't like the crowded and dull subway, so she decided to walk to that shopping mall.

The people who go in and out of this high-end shopping mall are dressed in bright and fashionable clothes. Only Lin Xia is wearing an invisible down jacket, and ordinary jeans and sneakers. Although they are a little old, he has always washed them clean; Showing his well-proportioned and tall figure, the tightly covered mask outlines the perfect bones of his face. A pair of clear eyes are exposed on the mask, which attracts passers-by to look back.

Just after the New Year's Eve, the shopping mall is bustling and noisy. In the center of the hall, there is a high platform and mapping lights, and brand advertisements and interviews are screened in a loop. It seems that some skin care products are doing marketing activities to build momentum.Lin Xia is not used to this kind of high-end shopping mall, she only came to Tian Bin once before, remembering that the pastry shop was on the second basement floor, so she went in from the first floor, intending to go downstairs by the escalator.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he pushed open the heavy glass door and stepped into the shopping mall, before he could see where the escalator was, two aggressive young men rushed over from nowhere, and the camera in their hand clicked and snapped at him.Lin Xia quickly covered her eyes, and before she had time to speak, she heard someone shouting: "Here we come, we finally come!"

Immediately after the sound of "coaxing", a group of little girls who were holding various support signs under the high platform heard the movement. They didn't know what to do, and immediately pushed through the crowd and rushed over, screaming: "Roy! Brother Roy is here!" Already!"

With a "swish", fans spread out a large pink support slogan in front of him like a magic trick: "Roy Roy, my heart is one!"...

Lin Xia turned her head to look around, the passers-by had spontaneously opened up a small open space, the mall doorman was looking over enviously, more people took out their mobile phones and were recording videos and taking selfies to upload to the Internet, the narrator said: "Go shopping Meet the little star!"

A man in a suit walked around from behind the high stage, eager to hold his hands: "Thank you, thank you, I thought you wouldn't come today, but I didn't expect you to come anyway!"

The heating in the shopping mall was turned on too high, making people dizzy from the heat; Lin Xia's ears were full of screams, almost dizzy.Finally, his brain that was shut down was working hard, and it was confirmed that these people mistook him for the star named Roy, and he quickly waved his hands in embarrassment: "No, no, you mistook the wrong person!"

But the enthusiastic voices of the fans overwhelmed his voice covered under the mask, and the staff following the man wanted to guide him to the high platform.Lin Xia couldn't explain clearly, so she had to take off her hat and mask to let them see clearly, and hurriedly explained: "I'm not, I'm not Roy, you misidentified me, I'm just here to buy things!"

As soon as he took off his hat, someone in the fan group saw something was wrong, put down the placard, and said angrily: "This person is not Roy!"

"That's right, how could Roy not even have an assistant?!"

After he took off his mask and exposed his entire face, the people around him were sure that they had all made a mistake.The event brand quickly apologized repeatedly on the stage, and the crowd of onlookers burst into a buzz of discussion. Roy's fans put away the support banners and wiped their tears in grievance.The man in the suit turned around and called the two imprudent assistants who rushed up to take pictures of Lin Xia to one side, apparently reprimanding him severely.

No one paid any attention to Lin Xia, he breathed a sigh of relief, put on his hat and mask again, and walked downstairs silently around the high platform.

It seems that although being a celebrity entertainer has a lot of glamor and ostentation, it is indeed troublesome.Thinking about it, Lin Xia shook her head, shaking off the discomfort caused by the noise that almost pierced her eardrums just now.

Before stepping on the escalator, there are two students who look like girls with backpacks behind them, holding hands and chasing after: "Little brother, little brother!"

When Lin Xia turned around, he saw them holding their mobile phones at him, smiling shyly while holding hands, encouraging each other; one of them asked him with a blushing face: "Little brother, you are so handsome, are you also an actor? What is your name?" what name?"

Lin Xia was taken aback, thinking that he had indeed been a stand-in actor several times, and Shiu Yu had already said that he would sign himself, so he nodded embarrassedly: "I, I am an actor, my name is Lin Xia."

The two girls looked at each other, very happy and excited: "Then what have you acted in? Let's chase after your play!"

Lin Xia was even more embarrassed, scratching the back of her head and didn't know how to answer, so she could only vaguely say: "No, there is no character who shows his face..."

Fortunately, the two girls didn't pursue the question, but asked excitedly, "Then can we take a photo with you?"

Looking at the two innocent and happy faces, although Lin Xia was shy, she readily agreed.The two little girls walked away happily with their mobile phones in their hands. Before leaving, they fisted to him: "Brother Lin Xia, please do your best! Now we are your fans!"

Lin Xia waved to them with a smile, and stepped on the escalator with a blushing face.Vanity can't help but flutter a little: It turns out that it feels so good to have fans...

The well-polished glass snack cabinet was full of beautiful things. Lin Xia looked at the price and couldn't help but feel pain in the flesh. No wonder Tian Bin didn't buy it much even though he was greedy. This small cake was worth his whole day's meal expenses.But although he saved himself, he was not stingy with his friends and asked the clerk to pack two.

When he was about to pay, a man wearing a striped suit and looking like a foreman manager came over and showed a professional smile: "Hi sir, our mall noticed that the activities in this mall caused you trouble when we were on the first floor just now. Sorry for the inconvenience, this shopping mall will pay for your purchase.”

Lin Xia looked at the shopping mall sign on his lapel, and subconsciously asked, "Really?"

The manager of the mall handed him the packaged snacks and smiled politely: "We invite you to register as a member of our mall, and you can accumulate points for each consumption; you just need to provide your name and phone number."

Lin Xia thought to herself, although she would not spend a few times in such a high-end shopping mall, it would be nice to be able to take away the cake for free right now, so she readily reported her name and phone number, walked happily into the subway and returned to her residence.

This day is different from the life of being bored on the set and helping to work in the past. The new things seem to reduce the numbness in the daily life.Lin Xia held the snack box in her hand, feeling good.

***

Grant Fishing Company, Liu Qin's office.

Lin Xia sat in front of the large desk, put her hands on the head of the stream, a little stiff but still calm.

Tian Bin poured tea and came in, stared at his face with the mask off for a long time, patted his shoulder and praised: "Xiao Linzi, it's not that brother is exaggerating, it's a pity that you don't become an artist with this face! You are Maxima, Brother Liu It’s Bole! After all, it’s our brother Liu, who knows the pearl with his eyes!”

Liu Qin laughed, politely made a "please" gesture to ask Lin Xia to drink water, and secretly looked at the young man in front of him: the face is exquisite and soft but not lacking in heroism, the figure is well-proportioned and slender but the lines are strong, this appearance condition is absolutely in line with the requirements The standard of an artist; I have seen him act as a stand-in before. His movements are smooth and his figure is chic.

However, there are many people who meet these two conditions. As a senior agent, although Liu Qin appreciates it, he doesn't pay much attention to it.

But looking at it closely now, Liu Qin can see that this young man is unusual with his sharp eyes that have discovered several first-line stars: It is said that this young man, like Tian Bin, is from a remote town with lack of material and blocked information. Orphanage, but his temperament is completely different from Tian Bin.Facing a well-known manager in the industry, although he was a bit shy and restrained, he did not have a trace of embarrassment in his gestures, nor did he have the greedy greed that most people in the entertainment industry can't hide.After thanking him politely, he slowly brought the teacup to his lips, his posture was humble and natural, completely detached and calm after having seen big scenes - just like in this world, he has no intention of gain or loss, so no one wants to please, nor He doesn't care what other people think of him at all.
