become famous with a kiss

The drama on the stage just ended, the few audience gave sparse applause, and people began to leave the stage.

"What? Don't you believe what I said?" Guan Baiyan frowned slightly.

Ning Ze hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look into his eyes anymore, took another deep breath, and said, "No, I just... didn't expect you to comfort me."

Guan Baiyan's brows twitched, and his eyes softened a lot, "Before, we never seemed to be happy. There was a misunderstanding, your reasons, and my responsibility. But from now on, I hope we can get along get along."

As soon as his words fell, the actors finished their curtain call, and the lights in the theater were brightly lit.

Ning Ze suddenly felt that the whole world in front of him brightened up.

He clenched his fists and exhausted all his strength to not hug the person in front of him. He just maintained an appropriate amount of joy, "Of course, I am very grateful that senior is willing to give me another chance."

Guan Baiyan patted him on the shoulder, the audience had almost dispersed, and the two just walked out.

But before he reached the door, he heard someone say, "King Guan, Mr. Ning... are you coming to the show too?"

The woman who reserved the first three rows of seats to watch the play turned around, and it turned out that she was someone both Guan Baiyan and Ning Ze knew very well.

Ning Ze sighed, thinking to himself that he should have thought of it a long time ago. He only knew one woman who was so arrogant and natural.

"Miss Feng." Guan Baiyan nodded politely.

Feng Yuan got up and walked over. She was wearing a purple high-waisted silk skirt today, and she looked fairer, taller, and more charming than before. "You also like musicals? If I knew it was the two of you, I would invite you together." Come and sit."

"Boss Feng is too polite." Ning Ze also exchanged greetings.He always seems to have a natural sense of defense against a woman, to some extent even surpassing Lu Jia and Ling Zhihua.This may be due to the experience of almost betraying her that night, but it also has something to do with Feng Yuan's usual demeanor.However, it is no longer a problem for him to do superficial work.

Feng Yuan put on a chattering posture, "Musicals are still a niche consumer in China, and it's really not easy to find a few people who have the same hobby."

Guan Baiyan smiled slightly, "Maybe most people are used to living a fast-paced life. Listening to musicals requires both leisure and mood. Not everyone is willing to spend such time."

"It probably has something to do with the style." Ning Ze hesitated and said, "For example, this "Love Killing" is perfect from the performance of the actors to the creation of the song, but the plot seems a bit dull. If it is not for the audience who can calm down , it is probably easy to miss this good drama. This kind of drama is Yangchun Baixue, although it is excellent, the style is too high."

As soon as he said these words, the other two didn't speak up. Ning Ze suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what went wrong.

After a while, Guan Baiyan said, "As for this, you don't have to worry about Ning Ze. The money spent on rehearsing a musical is really nothing to Miss Feng."

Ning Ze was secretly taken aback, only then did he realize that Feng Yuan was actually an investor in "Love to Kill".And Guan Baiyan obviously knew that these words were to help him out.

Feng Yuan looked at Guan Baiyan, then at Ning Ze with a half-smile, and said, "Actually, what Mr. Ning said makes sense. After all, I like this drama myself."

Ning Ze didn't dare to answer casually this time, so he just smiled.He was just a little strange, although Feng Yuan felt sorry for Guan Baiyan last time, why now the two seem to be familiar with each other.

Feng Yuan also smiled back at him, then turned around and asked Guan Baiyan, "How did you think about the script last time? Are you interested?"

"In my impression, it seems that I have already answered you."

"The script is good, and for the role of Liang Che in it, I always think that you, Guan Tianwang, are the most suitable candidate."

"You're too much." Guan Baiyan just smiled, and didn't follow Feng Yuan's words to ask why she thought she was suitable to play Liang Che.

Ning Ze was extremely surprised, it turned out that the script he had read was actually given to Guan Baiyan by Feng Yuan.

Today, Feng Yuan seems to be in a very good mood and patience, and she is not unhappy about being rejected so clearly, she just smiled softly, "The director I am looking for for this film is Li Pengyu, and I will save this role for you until the filming starts." , You are welcome to change your mind at any time." After she finished speaking, she turned around and swayed away on her high heels.

***

By the time the two actually walked out of the theater, it was already late.

From morning until now, Ning Ze hadn't eaten anything. At this moment, he felt really relaxed, and the feeling of hunger was overwhelming. In an instant, he felt that his chest was pressed against his back.

But Guan Baiyan was right next to him, and Ning Ze was always embarrassed to buy some snacks to satisfy his hunger like a little girl, so he tried to divert his attention by saying something.

"Senior, I didn't expect you and Mr. Feng to be so familiar."

"It can't be called friendship," Guan Baiyan's tone was flat, "It's just that she asked someone to send over the script, so she had contact with it twice."

"You really don't want to accept that play..." Before Ning Ze could finish speaking, he heard his stomach growl twice, even in the noisy theater, the sound could not be covered up.

Guan Baiyan stopped in his tracks.

"I..." Ning Ze was about to say something, when the hungry cry came again, and the loud thunder-like noise made him feel ashamed and almost wanted to run away.

If possible, he always wanted to appear in the most perfect posture in front of Guan Baiyan, but every time, what the other party saw was his most embarrassing appearance.

"Did you not eat enough for lunch or didn't eat at all?" Guan Baiyan raised his hand to look at his watch, and it was not even dinner time yet.

Under boundless frustration, Ning Ze told the truth, "I got up too late today, so I didn't have time to eat."

Guan Baiyan looked at him speechlessly for a while.

Ning Ze thought he would say something like "then why didn't you say it then", but Guan Baiyan just looked away lightly, and then said, "Stand here and wait for a while."

He re-entered the theater, and after about 5 minutes, he walked out again.Compared with when I went in, this time I had a big bucket of popcorn in my hand.

He stuffed the bucket of popcorn into Ning Ze's hand, "Eat this first, and you won't feel so hungry if you put something on it."

Ning Ze was stunned when he saw the popcorn that didn't match Guan Baiyan's. After a while, he was still a little dazed.

Opening the lid of the paper tube, the sweet and milky aroma came to his face. This sweet and greasy smell made his nose feel sore.

He picked it up and ate the first one, and then the second one, almost wanting to bury his whole face in the paper tube.

It was probably the best popcorn he'd ever had in his life.

He really wanted to raise his head and say thank you to the person opposite, but at this moment, he really didn't have the confidence to adjust his expression to express gratitude out of politeness.

Maybe it's just a look at each other, and my eyes will leak out all the emotions.

Just at this moment, the mobile phone in Ning Ze's pocket rang earth-shatteringly.

His heart suddenly relaxed, he hurriedly made an apologetic gesture to Guan Baiyan, and took the opportunity to go to a quieter corner to answer the phone.

"Hello, Dad?" Ning Ze took a breath before answering the phone.

"Ning Ze, are you busy today? Come back quickly if you have time, Xiao Bin is drunk at our house." Ning Ze's father's voice was full of anxiety.

"Xiao Bin is drunk? Is it at our house?"

"He was already drunk when he came, and he kept calling for you, so I had to put him in your room and lie down. You two children... Is there something wrong?"

"Dad, don't think too much, I'll be right back." Ning Ze hung up the phone in doubt.

When he came back, Guan Baiyan was still standing there.

The streets in the center of the city were crowded with people, but Ning Ze still saw him at the first sight.Some people are born to be luminous, and it only takes one look back to be unforgettable.

Guan Baiyan's slender figure and outstanding temperament undoubtedly stood out from the crowd. Even if no one really recognized him, countless eyes kept focusing on him.

Ning Ze suddenly had a strange thought: It would be great if only he could see and touch this person.

He didn't dare to look any more, and hurriedly lowered his head and walked over, "Sorry, senior, I have to go home right now."

"Is there something urgent?"

Ning Ze didn't answer, but said sincerely, "Today... I am really grateful to Senior, but I have to go back first."

"It's inconvenient to take a taxi here, I'll take you off," Guan Baiyan didn't ask any more, just went to the parking place and opened the door, "Let's go."

On the way back, neither of them spoke anymore. Ning Ze sat in the passenger seat with the window open, and suddenly found that the feeling of nervousness that was almost trembling in the same car a few hours ago had disappeared, replaced by, It is the comfort and comfort of holding popcorn in your arms and having the spring breeze blowing across your cheeks.

Before Ning Ze got out of the car, Guan Baiyan waved at him, "Remember to eat enough for dinner."

Ning Ze watched the silver-gray car completely disappear from sight, and then turned around affectionately.

***

In Ning Ze's heart, his feelings towards Xiao Bin have always been complicated.

When I first met this boy, he was like a weak and petite little rabbit, full of love and protection.And this kind of inertial thinking has been going on for a long time, so long after Xiaobin made his debut, Ning Ze was struggling whether to envy or envy this person.But when he got to know Xiao Bin again, he realized that he had never really known this "brother" at all, and his confused and fickle attitude always made Ning Ze feel at a loss.

Now Xiaobin is lying on Ningze's bed, his cheeks are pink, his brows are furrowed, his lips are slightly puffed up because of his relaxation, his innocent appearance is easily reminiscent of him who just turned 20 not long ago.

If it is a teenager of this age, he is probably still participating in club activities in the sophomore year of university, or drenched in the rain and crazy about the campus romance, but Xiaobin's youthfulness and innocence were forced to die prematurely many years ago. The story is over, and what remains is only the unfathomable profundity and sophistication.

Ning Ze sat on the edge of the bed and watched for a while, but Xiao Bin never woke up.He probably belonged to the type with good wine quality. After he was really drunk, he stopped making noise and just slept quietly.

Ning Ze let out a sigh of relief, went out and closed the door.

The father outside the door was watching worriedly. He didn't leave because he was worried that something would happen to the children.

"How did you get so drunk? Did it happen because you were socializing outside? When you go out, your career is important, but you also have to pay attention to your health." Father said in a rambling manner.

Ning Ze understood the painstaking efforts of being a parent, so he just nodded and listened, waiting for his father's lesson to come to an end, before asking, "Dad, is there any food at home? I was in a hurry to go out just now, and I didn't have time for lunch."

"It's this time, and you haven't eaten anything yet?"

"Have some popcorn..."

"No matter how full you are with that thing, you still need to eat food to be nutritious. Just wait, I'll make you a bowl of fried rice with eggs."

His father was nimble, and soon the golden fried rice with eggs was served on the table. Ning Ze wolfed it down, cleaned up the dishes, greeted his father, and went back to his room to rest.

In the room, Xiao Bin still didn't wake up.

Ning Ze put the box of popcorn on the bedside, and looked at Xiao Bin for a while.He didn't sleep for a few hours last night, and today he has been emotionally tense, and he felt sleepy after a while, so he also went to bed with his clothes on.

A few years ago, when the two formed a team to prepare for their debut, they often huddled together to sleep.There were not so many scruples between the boys, and their sleeping appearances were not bad, so Ning Ze fell asleep right away.

But in today's dream, there always seemed to be something pressing him tightly, like a nightmare that made him unable to move.

Ning Ze struggled to wake up in this chaotic dream, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Bin's face close at hand, flushed with excitement and fiery flush, and there seemed to be residual warmth on his own lips.

"What are you doing!?" Ning Ze violently pushed Xiao Bin to sit up, and then wiped his lips hard.

Xiao Bin was pushed so that he staggered and sat on the bed, his face was very red, but he didn't look flustered at all. After seeing Ning Ze's movement of wiping his lips violently, there was a strange sense of confusion and contempt.

"Xiao Bin, you're drunk." Ning Ze hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly got out of the bed and stood up, "Are you still awake?"

Xiaobin smiled and hugged the quilt and sat on the head of the bed. He didn't see the embarrassment that often happened in such occasions. Instead, he said calmly, "Brother Ning Ze, you don't need to make excuses for me. I'm a little drunk, but I'm not too drunk yet." To the point where I can't figure out who I'm kissing. I've actually wanted to do this a long time ago. I've always liked you since we were both trainees, haven't you ever felt it?"

He was so frank that he easily turned the recklessness of the sneak attack into an uncontrollable confession, which made Ning Ze unable to answer for a while.

"Can't you agree? Heh, I guessed it a long time ago." The smile on Xiaobin's face gradually widened, "It's me who was too naive. After hearing you say a few words that you wouldn't despise me, I actually felt that I still had a chance. I can't be Guan Baiyan, if you are kissed by me, you will probably only feel disgusted."

Ning Ze's face suddenly turned red, and then quickly turned white again.The previous night's denial was meaningless now, and he already clearly felt that Xiaobin's words were not just a simple confession of his intentions, they were clearly prepared.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

There was a faint but deep bitterness in Xiaobin's eyes, "I'm just reconciled, I don't understand why you like him? I'm dirty, but how can he be clean? Brother Ning Ze, You should already know about the matter between brother Cheng Xi and him, right?"

Ning Ze took a deep breath, "If you want to talk about Guan Baiyan today, I'm not interested."

"As expected, you already knew, do you not want to hear it or are you afraid to listen?" Xiaobin's smile became more and more malicious, "Has anyone ever told you that Ning Chengxi's manager back then was Xiong Pang? Or did you already know?" The real reason for his suicide?"

Ning Ze turned his head away and did not answer.He instinctively wanted to refuse to listen to Xiaobin's next words, but this kind of refusal had no effect on the other party.

Xiaobin's fangs have been opened, how can he shut up without seeing blood, "I heard these things from Ling Zhihua. He said that the reason why Ning Chengxi was desperate was because Guan Baiyan introduced him to the last job. The job is to accompany people to sleep. The rich businessman is a paralyzed old man in his 80s, so he is willing to pay a high price to buy a starlet for a night. Speaking of it, if your brother was willing at that time, your family would probably have a lot of money , but he just couldn't think about it, and after knowing what kind of deal it was, he left in a daze, and instead begged Guan Baiyan to give him another chance to continue his career, but Guan Baiyan didn't lie to him and kicked him out. The second That night, your brother committed suicide by slitting his wrist. Guan Baiyan is really amazing to be able to treat his former lover so ruthlessly, this cruelty... even I can't do it."
