happy and unhappy

Under Liang Jin's strong request, Boss Xu was forced to work as a waiter for a while, clumsily packing meals for two free eaters, and ended up getting his hands dirty.

Liang Jin got cheap and acted like a good boy. He smiled and said sarcastically, "You can't do such a simple thing well. How did your ability to take care of yourself support you to live to be in your thirties?"

Xu Shuo took out two paper towels to wipe off the soup on his hands, and then accurately threw the paper ball into the trash can with a handsome parabola, "My dad said, in this age of looking at faces, I don't need to learn anything , as long as I protect my face, I can survive even if my legs are broken by my appearance."

Liang Jin smiled, "Uncle Xu really took great pains to protect your self-esteem."

"You know what the hell." Xu Shuo looked confident, "Although my father is indeed a bit fierce, but my mother was a veritable beauty when she was young, and my genes just follow my mother."

The words were not speculative, and Liang Jin realized that he couldn't talk to a guy who was full of self-confidence. He lifted the lunch box and said to Mackey: "Let's go, go home."

Xu Shuo glanced at his watch, "It's only nine o'clock, it's still early, let's play for a while."

Liang Jin flatly refused: "Just kidding."

"Quality! Pay attention to your quality!" Seeing that Xu Shuo couldn't persuade him, he came to persuade Mackey again, "Mai, let him go alone, you can stay here and play, and I will take you home later."

"Forget it, I'll go back with Brother Jin..." Mackey stood beside Liang Jin obediently, then took the lunch box in his hand, and smiled apologetically at Xu Shuo, "Brother Xu, I'm really sorry, You guys have fun. The recent shooting tasks are relatively heavy, and I have to get up early tomorrow morning to go to work."

Xu Shuo looked at him with great interest. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that he had many similarities with the big yellow dog in Liang Jin's family. They were both in the attitude of protecting the master wherever the master went. The degree of loyalty can be described as Comparable to the sun and the moon, no wonder Liang Jin likes it so much.

"Well, work comes first, so I won't keep you guys. It's the same when we get together another day. By the way, Xiaomai," Xu Shuo put away his joking expression as if he had thought of something, and said solemnly, "Weiwei Don’t pay attention to those smoky things on the blog, and don’t pay attention to swearing words, we will deal with it.”

"That's right." Deng Wenwen agreed after hearing this, "Ignore all negative voices, what you have to do now is to use your strength to film well, and when the time comes to hit them in the face with your work."

Mackey's heart became hot, maybe his heart was not strong enough, when all kinds of insults and abuse came pouring over his head, he couldn't just smile it off freely.

The road of life is inherently bumpy. For those who are moving forward, encountering setbacks is not terrible, but losing the courage to move forward is the most terrible.

Fortunately, he still has Liang Jin, and so many people give him encouragement and support.

On the way back, Mackey sincerely thanked Liang Jin.

Seeing his serious appearance, Liang Jin curled his lips and smiled gently, "Thank me for what?"

Thank you for always taking care of me, thank you for always bringing me surprises and touches, thank you for making me your exception...

Mackey looked at this handsome and extraordinary man, with a smile in his bright eyes, "Thank you for playing with me, treating me to dinner, and sending me home."

"There's nothing to thank." Liang Jin laughed dumbly, "Besides, the person who treated the guests was Xu Shuo. If you want to thank him, you should thank him."

"If it weren't for your face, he wouldn't treat me to a big meal. It's all because of you, your friend is so kind to me. You may not know how much those words of encouragement mean to me It's important... Anyway..." Mikey said, scratching his nose embarrassedly, he is usually used to talking nonsense, he rarely speaks in such a serious manner, in fact, he still has a lot of emotion and heartfelt words to say, but met Liang Jin Looking at him inquiringly, he couldn't say a word.

Annoyed at his uselessness, he grabbed a few handfuls of hair and muttered, "Oh, anyway, I just want to thank you."

Liang Jin was amused by his childish behavior, "Okay, I appreciate it, but you don't need to be so polite to me in the future."

"I see."

Mackey grinned silly.

But he is not a fool, he can feel that Liang Jin treats him differently from others.

As Cheng Zegang said, only he, Mai Qi, dared to smile in front of Liang Jin.And he was so "presumptuous" only because Liang Jin gave him enough patience and gentleness.

As the song says, those who are favored have nothing to fear.

……

The two talked and laughed all the way, and in a blink of an eye the nanny car drove into the community where Mackey lived.

This is a newly developed area. The density of buildings is not as dense as that of the old area. The environment of the community is elegant and quiet, and the roads are lined with trees. Except that it is far from the urban area, it is generally not bad.

Liang Jin ordered the driver to drive the car downstairs to Mai Qi's house.After a brief farewell, Mackey got out of the car, and the moment he closed the door, a different kind of emotion rose in his heart. He wanted to recall the happy time he just spent, with joy and reluctance.

Mackey shook his head and smiled, expelling all the unrealistic thoughts in his mind.Just as he was about to step away, there was the faint sound of the car window lowering behind him. He turned his head subconsciously, and saw a fully armed face in the half-open car window.

As a vigilant star, Liang Jin had already put on a hat, sunglasses and a mask, making himself look like an underground worker.Seeing this, Mai Qi burst out laughing, and stepped forward to cover the car window for him, "Brother Jin, what's the matter?"

Liang Jin pulled down the mask, "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

Mackey didn't want to bother him, so he quickly refused: "No, I'll go by car, the traffic here is very convenient."

"Fool." Liang Jin stretched out his hand and knocked on his forehead, "Do you think you are still the same as before, just an unknown little stand-in? Let me tell you, it's different now, you will be killed anytime you walk on the road. If someone recognizes you, you will be talked about, watched, photographed, and maybe asked for your autograph, and your life will change drastically. Hey, why are you staring so wide?" Looking at him with a ignorant expression on his face, Liang Jin couldn't help laughing, and when he spoke again, his tone was obviously softer, "Don't be surprised, and don't be afraid, what I just said is just for children. After the movie is released, with the big box office sales, your The commercial value will be highlighted, when the media, the public, and sponsors will surround you, you will truly experience the taste of becoming famous overnight."

"Become famous overnight..." Mackey's voice was a bit dazed and uncertain, "Me?"

"Well, it's you!" Liang Jin's tone was calm and powerful. He was staring at a point in the void. Through the brown lenses, Mackey could also feel his sharp eyes, as if standing on the clouds and pointing the mountains and rivers Qi Po, "I didn't intend to praise you deliberately, but you have already stood in the public eye, and if you want to retreat, I'm afraid it's too late. Since they have pushed you to the cusp, why do we have to sit and wait for death? Attacked by others? Why not use this opportunity to hype it up?"

"Hype? How?" Mackey became even more confused. In his concept, hype is a double-edged sword. If you use it well, you will be invincible and gain both fame and fortune.

"We'll do whatever it takes to make you popular quickly. In this circle, no one is more noble than anyone else, only whose methods are more powerful and clever." Liang Jin seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and comforted him, " A star is a product, and hype and marketing are essential to make the product popular, so you don’t have to bear any burdens, just leave everything to me.”

Mackey was still confused, "Then what should I do?"

"Be serious about filming, work hard, and do your part well."

"Oh……"

"After becoming famous, you will be overwhelmed by the temptations that come one after another, as well as the pressure of public opinion from all directions. You have to learn to adjust your mentality. From now on, you must be prepared to be noticed to the point of bruising."

Liang Jin's words made Mackey a little panicked.

During the three years as a stand-in actor, he also dreamed of being a star. Who wouldn't want to be admired and loved by everyone?But this kind of dream is too lofty and ethereal, and insisting on pursuing it is nothing but wishful thinking.

In the past, relying on his own strength alone, he never thought that he would become a big hit one day, but now that there is an extra Liang Jin, the situation is very different.With Liang Jin's financial resources, contacts and abilities, he fully believed that the other party could promote him as a supernova in a short period of time, making him completely popular.

But he wasn't ready yet, even though Liang Jin had reminded him, he was still timid, nervous, and uneasy. He felt like a recruit who was about to go to the battlefield. Because he didn't have any experience, he didn't know how to deal with the ever-changing battlefield. The situation, so that the stage fright has not started before the war.

Mackey was in a daze when a sweet voice sounded behind him.

"Brother? Are you back?"

Mackey was very familiar with his sister's unique little milk voice, and his messy mood suddenly calmed down. He turned around and met a magnified smiling face.

The girl standing in front of him tilted her head to look at him, her face was full of curiosity, and she opened her mouth to ask a series of questions, "Brother, I saw you from a long distance away, it's almost ten o'clock, why did you come back? Who is it? Such a high-end car, shouldn’t it be an ordinary person?”

"Where do you want to go? It's a staff member on the set. I'll just drop you off." Mackey prevaricated. He didn't want to cause any trouble to Liang Jin, so he put his arms around his sister's shoulders and walked forward with her in his arms. , "It's so late, you, a girl, don't stay at home well, what are you doing downstairs?"

"I went downstairs to take out the trash, and just as I was about to go upstairs, you got out of the car."

Mai's sister took a step forward and turned her head at least three times.Through the half-open car window, she saw the staff that Mackey said.

Everyone in the world knows that celebrities have three treasures when traveling: peaked caps, black sunglasses, and big masks.

The unknown worker sitting in the car just put together the three treasures.

Mai Xiaomei stared at her elder brother, hum, liar.

Mackey didn't know that his sister had seen through his lies, and was still chattering to instill a sense of safety in the other party.

Mai Xiaomei couldn't help giggling when she heard him talk about girls not going out alone at night, not talking to strangers easily, not staying late at night, and not dating early.

"Brother, I'm a freshman this year, and I'm at the age to fall in love. Do you think I'm still a little girl?"

Mackey poked his sister's head, "You will always be a little kid in my eyes!"

Mai Xiaomei retorted unconvinced: "I'm a brat, you're a big liar!"

Mackey was puzzled, "What did I lie to you?"

Mai Xiaomei smiled mysteriously, and asked in a low voice: "The person who sent you back is not a staff member at all, is it? I have never seen a staff member who would wrap himself up tightly for fear of being seen." Yes, your lies are too bad."

"Uh..." Mackey really wanted to get 1 likes for his sister's wit.

"Brother, who is he?" Mai Xiaomei expressed her attitude after asking, "Don't worry, I won't disturb him, and I won't gossip around. For celebrities, personal privacy is very important, I understand!"

"It's good that you understand, girls, don't inquire so much." Mackey pulled her forward quickly, "Let's go, let's go home."

"Brother, thanks to the fact that we are still brothers and sisters, can you give me a little more trust?!"

"Want to be trusted? Well, tell me who was the boy who was waiting for you downstairs last time?"

Mai Xiaomei withered instantly.

Mackey teased her maliciously, "What about the promise of trust?"

"Brother, you bully people!!"

……

The brothers and sisters played and laughed as if no one was there, but they didn't know that the "worker" Liang Jin had been watching for a long time. Looking back inadvertently, the three of them happened to meet each other. Jin took off his mask and showed an interesting smile.

"You, you... you are that... that... ah ah..."

Mai Xiaomei pointed at the handsome man in front of her, and stomped her feet happily, "Ahhh" for a long time, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

The man pulled down his sunglasses to the tip of his nose, raised his eyebrows handsomely, "I am that Liang Jin."

"Oh my god! So handsome!!" Mai Xiaomei's blood gauge was empty in seconds, and this eyebrow raising could kill her too much!

Seeing that she was about to faint from excitement, Mackey quickly helped her steady, "Hey, you should be calm, as a girl, can't you be a little more reserved?"

"Brother, I met Liang Jin, my favorite Liang Jinye! So happy!" Mai Xiaomei was completely immersed in the ecstasy of meeting her idol for the first time, and had no time to think about other things.She laughed and cheered, expressing her joy unabashedly. Her face was full of joy, as if she was happier than winning a big prize.

Mai Qi had nothing to do with her, so he couldn't help but smiled apologetically at Liang Jin, "My sister, Mai Shiyu, little girls always can't control their emotions when they see idols, don't mind."

"It's okay." Liang Jin smiled indifferently. Not to mention, these two are worthy of being brothers and sisters. When Mai Qi saw Peng Jiayi before, he was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He could only pretend to be himself. Idol.

Mai Qi felt relieved when he heard the words, "Brother Jin, what's the matter? Why did you get out of the car?"

"You dropped your phone in my car." Liang Jin handed him the phone, "You idiot."

"Hey, I'm really sloppy." Mackey patted his head and smirked. He was wearing a pair of comfortable sweatpants today. The purse of the pants was designed to be relatively large. He didn't even notice when the phone fell out.

Liang Jin looked down at him, feeling relieved for no reason. He also had a smirk, some people laughed like a real fool, but when the big boy in front of him grinned, his sharp little canine teeth were exposed. The aged baby face added a bit of playfulness.

Cute, really cute, how can you be so cute?

Liang Jin felt itchy in his heart, he couldn't help raising his hand, and pinched his cheek.

The smooth touch made Liang Jin reluctant to withdraw his hand. He wanted more touches, but reason dominated his behavior. It took him a lot of effort to suppress the commotion in his heart.

But when his fingertips left Mackey's cheek, two seconds had passed.

The fleeting two seconds, to Mackey, it was the two seconds full of excitement.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Mackey actually saw countless tenderness in those deep eyes.

Kankan looked away, and Mackey was full of disbelief, he couldn't believe his eyes, he was still in a dream for a while, afraid that all this was just self-indulgence.

"Brother Jin, get back in the car quickly. If someone finds out, it will definitely cause a sensation." Mackey said as he looked around. The neighborhood was quiet except for a few sporadic figures in the distance. No one noticed them.He patted his sister on the shoulder and said, "Say goodbye to Brother Jin, we're going home."

"Ah? You finished chatting so soon?" Mai Shiyu said goodbye reluctantly before appreciating enough of the idol's prosperous beauty, "Idol, goodbye, I will always support you, I don't know if there will be a chance to see you again in the future your turn……"

Probably because of Aiwujiwu, Liang Jin thought that this girl who looked about seventy-eight percent similar to Mackey looked very pleasing, and a gentle smile appeared on her resolute face, "It's not easy to want to see me, ask your brother to take you Come play on set."

"Really?!" Seeing Liang Jin nodding his head, Mai Shiyu jumped up happily, "That's great! Idol, you are so kind!"

Liang Jin looked at her with a smile, "Hurry up and go home, I'm going back too." Then he waved lazily at Mai Qi, "I'm leaving, wait for me at the gate of the community at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Mackey watched him leave, "See you tomorrow."

……

Back home, Mai Shiyu was still excited about meeting her idol. She didn't expect Liang Jin in reality to be a super warm man, without the unattainable star halo, basically no different from the big brother next door.

Surrounded by Mackey, she kept praising her idol, from appearance to acting skills, and then from figure to personality. In short, she was very good, just like Liang Jin was the most perfect person in the world.

In the end, Mai Shiyu sighed with longing, "I will be satisfied if my future husband can catch up to half of him."

After hearing this, Mackey didn't say anything, but he secretly agreed in his heart that he would also find a boyfriend like Liang Jin in the future.

The siblings then chatted for a while, Mai Shiyu talked about her daily life at school and what she saw and heard, and Mai Qi also told a lot of interesting things that happened during filming, and then the two of them were studying in a closed boarding high school together. My younger brother made a phone call.

Brother Mai yelled exaggeratedly on the phone, "Brother, your Weibo followers are almost 30! You are on the trending search! You are popular, and you are black and red! Hahahahaha——"

Mackey's face was full of black lines, "You don't study hard, what are you doing paying attention to those unnutritious entertainment and gossip news all day long? Can it help you get good grades in the exam or what?!"

"Because I'm your number one fan, so of course I have to pay attention to your every move!" The wall clock on the wall points to a quarter past ten, and it's already past the time to turn off the lights, but Brother Mai is as excited as a chicken blood, "Brother , I knew that one day you would be popular, you are so powerful, it would be a pity to be buried, don't worry about the gossip on the Internet, let's speak with strength, my sister and I will always be your most solid backing!"

"Well, I know..." Mackey was moved in his heart, but he didn't forget to remind him, "Keep down, your roommate is asleep, right? Don't disturb others' rest."

"I'm in the bathroom, the door is locked, no one can hear you." Brother Mai's voice was full of complacency, "Brother, you are going to be a big star soon, you don't have an agent yet, right? Choose me! Wait!" I'll be your manager after I graduate, and if it's urgent, I can drop out of school!"

After being moved for less than three seconds, Mackey felt like punching him, "Mai Wei'an, are you itchy?"

"If you don't want to be an agent, you can do other things." Mai Wei'an made the best second choice, and wanted to fight for it again, "Brother, do you need an assistant?"

Mackey gritted his teeth, "The construction site next to our studio is short of a brick mover. From tomorrow onwards, you don't have to go to school. Go move bricks for me to earn money!"

Mai Weijian became deaf, "Hey, what are you talking about? I didn't hear... Why did the signal get weaker? Brother? Are you still there...Brother, brother? Huh? There's no sound...Okay, then I'll hang up It's..."

The busy tone of "beep" echoed in my ears, Mai Qi pressed the phone, looked at Mai Shiyu helplessly, and then smiled, "If this kid goes to make movies in the future, he will definitely win the Best Actor."

Mai Shiyu rolled his eyes and suddenly asked, "Brother, can I make a request?"

Mackey: "You mention it."

Mai Shiyu smiled wickedly, "Don't forget me as a backup manager."

"..." Mackey was speechless, both of these were not worrying.

After chatting with his siblings, Mackey took a comfortable hot bath to wash away the fatigue and sweat of the day.

Put on clean pajamas to cover the scars all over your body.No one knows how much he was injured in the hand-to-hand combat scene with Peng Jiayi in the afternoon, and how many bruises were added to his body by the punch after punch. Show a little strange.For the sake of his younger siblings, for Liang Jin, for his master, and for the sake of all those who supported him and had expectations of him, he had to grit his teeth and persevere.

The night was as deep as ink, with a faint crescent half hanging in the air, Mackey was lying on the bed, looking at the bright yellow through the window, thinking about things while brewing sleepiness.

He thought of how naughty he was when he was a child, jumping up and down all day long like ADHD. His parents saw that he was energetic and always had endless energy, so they sent him to learn martial arts.At the beginning, he suffered a lot. Every time the training ended, his whole body seemed to be run over by a wheel, and his whole body was in pain. He cried and wanted to give up many times, and his parents did not force him, but every time he After wiping away his tears, he still chose to continue studying.

He also didn't know how he persisted at that time. Maybe every boy has a dream of being a hero in his heart, dreaming of saving the world, as cool as a superman.It was only after he grew up that he realized that the Earth Guardian wearing underwear and flying around the world was just a childhood dream.But when a person has something he wants to protect, he is an invincible superman.

In a trance, drowsiness struck, Mai Qi half-closed his eyes and was falling asleep, Mai Shiyu suddenly yelled and rushed into his bedroom, "Brother, don't sleep, look at Weibo! Your idol Aite is you!"

Mackey was startled by her loud voice, stunned for a while, and sat up abruptly from the bed, "What are you talking about? Who beat me?"

"Peng Jiayi!" Mai Shiyu picked up his mobile phone, opened Weibo, and then handed him the mobile phone, "Look for yourself, not only is he following you, but he also follows you."

Mackey was thinking hard and couldn't figure out why Peng Jiayi interacted with him on Weibo. Full of doubts, he clicked on the other party's Weibo homepage and saw that Aite's Weibo:

——A great young man whose strength cannot be underestimated! ＠I am Mai of wheat malt

The small video below the text was loaded immediately, and it was an unprocessed plot segment.

Mackey's eyes became hot when he saw it. This video was the scene where he leaped over Peng Jiayi and then attacked him.

This on-the-spot action fully demonstrated his solid martial arts skills, as if he had slapped all those who questioned and criticized him with the strongest force.

In an instant, gratitude filled his heart, and Mackey felt flattered, but he didn't know how to express his gratitude to Peng Jiayi.

He thought for a moment, and sent a private message to Peng Jiayi.

——Brother Jiayi, thank you for speaking for me, thank you very much!

Unexpectedly, there was a reply soon.

——You don't need to thank me, Liang Jin asked me to send it.

Mackey stared in surprise, his heart paused for a moment, and then beat violently.

The bits and pieces of getting along with Liang Jin appeared in front of his eyes frame by frame like a movie rewinding. In addition to being shocked, he also felt an unprecedented warmth and sweetness, and his boundless thoughts quietly diffused under the moonlight. Flowing, some unknown feeling is about to come out...

It just so happened that Peng Jiayi sent another message.

——Liang Jin seems to be very interested in you, little guy, what do you think? [squinting smile]
