endless city

In summer, in the imperial palace, the bored Crown Prince walked alone in the back garden, shaking his fan while walking and sighing: "The life in the palace is really boring, what should I do?" An Yan pressed his folding fan to his chin Tilting his head thoughtfully, after a while, his eyes lit up, and he tapped his head with a fan, "Quick! Pen and ink are waiting for you!"

Xu Xu, who played the role of a court lady, stepped forward and said helplessly: "His Royal Highness, what do you want to draw again?"

An Yan smiled and said: "I think the beauty of this back garden is very good, why not draw it as a souvenir."

Xu Xu said helplessly: "But, you already drew it yesterday."

An Yan opened the folding fan in his hand, and while fanning the wind, he smiled and said, "It's okay, it rained yesterday, but there is no rain today, the scenery will naturally be very different..."

"Cut." Jiang Xuening suddenly called a timeout.An Yan turned around suspiciously, only to see Jiang Xuening smiling and saying, "Next scene."

Xu Xu took the new script from director Jiang and handed it to An Yan, who took the script of the second act from her and read it carefully several times.This scene is the scene of His Royal Highness’s father passing away, and the young prince Xiao Qinrui inheriting the throne before his death. As the king of a country, Xiao Qinrui can no longer be as naughty and careless as before, and must show the demeanor and demeanor that a king of a country should have. Momentum comes.

An Yan looked at the script for a while, then looked at the director, indicating that he could start.

The director nodded, An Yan took a step forward, quickly turned cold, and said in a deep voice: "I want to keep my father's spirit in the mourning hall for three months! Starting today, there will be a national mourning within three months, and all officials will pay their respects The late emperor was in mourning, wore plain clothes, ate vegetarian food, did not approach women, did not play joy, and offenders—severely punished!"

Speaking of this, An Yan's long sleeves suddenly flicked vigorously, and there was a "shua" sound. The moment he flicked his sleeves and turned around, the majesty and demeanor that a king should have made everyone at the scene want to clap their hands and applaud!

Jiang Xuening smiled and said, "Go and remove your makeup first, we will discuss it and tell you the result."

"Okay, thank you Director Jiang." An Yan retracted his sleeves, rubbed his nose a little embarrassedly, turned and walked out the door.After all, Jiang Xuening has been his idol for many years. Although he is very confident, acting in front of his idol still makes An Yan a little uneasy, and he doesn't know if his performance just now can satisfy her?

An Yan didn't expect that as soon as he went out, someone in the room jumped up excitedly from his seat, "I think the little prince we want is like this! Director Jiang, what do you think?"

Jiang Xuening smiled and said: "Yes. He is the prince in my heart."

Xu Xu, who was sitting on the side, asked with some doubts: "Is this settled?"

Jiang Xuening nodded and said, "Have you noticed the movement of his sleeves just now? The script didn't tell him how to do it. He just acted on the spot based on his feeling. What's even more rare is that when he shook his sleeves, the voice It's very loud and crisp, and doesn't even need dubbing in post-production, this is the foundation of an actor."

Xu nodded as if realizing something.

Jiang Xuening continued: "The scene with you at the beginning, including opening the fan and knocking on the head, he performed these movements very beautifully, without any trace of affectation. He only read such a long script for 1 minute. I wrote it down, and I didn't memorize a word wrong. The two scenes can be switched freely, and his understanding of the role is completely integrated into his bones!"

"An Yan is the most energetic actor I have ever seen."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xuening's eyes were already full of excitement and admiration, "Our male lead, played by him, the effect is definitely the best!"

An Yan was running to the dressing room to remove his makeup, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure, An Yan couldn't help turning his head, and asked in surprise, "Xu Shaoqian?! Why are you here when you have time?"

"Stop by and take a look." Xu Shaoqian smiled slightly, stood in front of An Yan, and carefully scrutinized An Yan's appearance in ancient costumes. The image of this handsome little prince will definitely kill a group of people on the screen. , he put on the noble dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair... His fans are probably going crazy again.

Seeing Xu Shaoqian staring at him intently, An Yan asked suspiciously: "What? Is it strange?" After speaking, he stretched out his hand and shook his long sleeves, then turned back and stroked his waist-length hair, smiling Said, "Ancient costumes are actually quite interesting, you can try them if you have a chance."

"An Yan, take off your makeup first." Manager Chang Lin urged, "It's getting late."

"Oh." An Yan hurried back to his seat and asked the makeup artist to take off the wig.

Quickly removed her makeup, changed her clothes, and when she came out, she saw the heroine and the director waiting there. Jiang Xuening smiled and held out her hand: "An Yan, we are all looking forward to your joining. The shooting will start in mid-February, and you See if there is a problem?"

An Yan held her hand excitedly: "No problem! Thank you, Director Jiang, I will perform well!" Jiang Xuening said with a smile: "I am also looking forward to your performance, happy cooperation! I will be the host tonight, everyone go out Get together, let's get to know each other by the way." Then he glanced at Xu Shaoqian again, "Shaoqian, you come too, do you want to give me face?"

Xu Shaoqian said: "Do I dare not give you face?"

Jiang Xuening nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, I'll call to locate the location, everyone pack up your things first, and meet downstairs at 6 o'clock!"

A group of people drove to Yexue Club, which was the same place as the "Endless City" crew dinner last time. This high-end club is also a place where people from the local entertainment industry often come to meet. It is said that the owner is very powerful. The paparazzi on the street were cleaned up.

An Yan was surrounded by everyone to toast again, but this time he learned to be smart. He didn't let go of drinking. After drinking a few glasses, he found an excuse to go to the bathroom. He took the initiative to say, "Is your name Xu Xu?"

Xu Xu nodded, "What's wrong?"

An Yan said with a smile: "This name is interesting, and it will be even more interesting if you add another word after it."

"What word?"

"license."

"..." Xu Xu rolled his eyes, "Aren't you going to sing K?"

"No. I sing out of tune, it's ugly."

"No way? Didn't you win the second prize in a singing contest before?"

An Yan froze for a moment, "How do you know?"

Xu Xu blinked: "I also graduated from Xilin Art School, so you are still my senior."

"Really?" An Yan said in surprise, "What a coincidence, you are the first alumnus I meet in the entertainment industry."

"No way, our school is not well-known. Among the graduates, you are the best one. You don't know, there are many people in the school who admire you very much. My roommates in college are all you fans."

An Yan touched his nose, "It's not that exaggerated, is it?"

"It's not an exaggeration at all." Xu Xu said with a smile, "Actually, I'm also your fan, please come and sign your idol." He then handed over his sleeve.

An Yan gesticulated on her sleeve with his finger very impolitely, and said with a smile: "By the way, Junior Sister, hasn't our old principal retired yet?"

"Well, with a beard and still standing on the podium to give a speech, each speech takes half an hour..."

The two chatted about their university days, and the more they chatted, the happier they became. They didn't notice the extremely cold eyes of the man behind them.

Xu Shaoqian had always had a bad premonition, the moment Xu Xu appeared, he inexplicably felt that this girl might attract An Yan's attention.He grew up with An Yan, he knew An Yan too well, since childhood, An Yan's favorite is this kind of lively and lovely girl, but this girl is some kind of damn college alumni.

Seeing that the two chatted more and more happily, they quickly exchanged phone numbers, Xu Shaoqian couldn't help but clenched his fingers tightly.

What An Yan gave her was the number of her personal mobile phone.

He seldom gives out his private number to others. There are a lot of gossip in the entertainment circle, and most of the things are contacted through his agent, unless he is a very good friend who leaves his private number.This girl named Xu Xu got An Yan's private number after meeting An Yan for less than a day. It can be seen that in An Yan's heart, she is more than just a simple partner.

An Yan already regarded her as a friend...even more.

How many scandals are going to happen between the hero and heroine?Or, this time... are you really moved?

Because Jiang Xuening still had things to do, the party ended early at 10 o'clock. An Yan said that he wanted to get to know each other, and asked permission to have a supper. He brought the managers and assistants of both parties, and a group of young people came in a mighty manner. To the bar downstairs.

Xu Shaoqian hates the noisy places like bars the most, and An Yan sees beautiful women and forgets about this "buddy", Xu Shaoqian feels very uncomfortable seeing him chatting with Xu Xu so happily.

Yes, he was jealous.

This is not the first time that An Yan has met a girl he likes. In the past, he was invisible to the naked eye, and he selectively ignored the scandals flying all over the sky. But this time, he saw the process of their meeting with his own eyes, and watched An Yan with his own eyes. Talking happily with that girl, seeing the rare tenderness in his eyes, watching him pour wine for her and serve her vegetables...

Xu Shaoqian only felt that his heart was as painful as being pricked by a needle.

Standing there by myself seemed like a superfluous existence.

Xu Shaoqian had no choice but to turn around and leave. Before leaving, he called Chang Lin aside, and said in a low voice: "Chang Lin, you know An Yan's drinking capacity very well. There are still girls here today. Don't play too late and cause some scandal. Eleven o'clock Be sure to send him home beforehand."

Chang Lin nodded seriously: "I know."

Xu Shaoqian glanced at An Yan, turned and left the bar.An Yan, who was so absorbed in chatting with Xu Xu, didn't even notice Xu Shaoqian's departure at all.

After returning to Yuehu Community, Xu Shaoqian took a cold shower to calm himself down, then returned to the living room, sat on the sofa and looked at the clock on the wall.The room was terribly quiet, only the sound of the clock ticking, it was already 11 o'clock, An Yan hadn't come back yet, and no one answered the phone.

Xu Shaoqian just waited silently for an unknown amount of time. Suddenly, a car light flashed outside the window, and the hour hand had already pointed to 12 o'clock. Xu Shaoqian went to the balcony and opened the curtains. Sure enough, An Yan from the next door came back. He was drunk again, crookedly supported by his manager and sent into the house.

After the manager left, Xu Shaoqian went to the next door and knocked on An Yan's door with a sullen face.

An Yan was so drunk that he staggered out of the bedroom, opened the door, and asked in a daze, "Chang Lin...what else..."

Xu Shaoqian frowned and asked, "Why did you come back so late?"

Only then did An Yan realize that Chang Lin was not standing in front of him. Chang Lin was short, but the man in front of him was a few centimeters taller than him. For some reason, the man's indifferent appearance gave off a strange oppressive force. An Yan After squinting his eyes and looking carefully for a long time, he realized that the person in front of him was Xu Shaoqian, and asked with some doubts: "Hey? Shaoqian... why are you here?"

Xu Shaoqian bypassed him and walked into the room, slammed the door shut, and pushed An Yan against the wall.

"Why did you come back so late? Forgot who you are? Go to the bar to drink with the actress you just met, get drunk, get hit by a reporter, have you thought about the consequences?!"

Xu Shaoqian's severe reprimand made An Yan feel a little dazed for a while.

Being pushed against the wall forcibly, his already drunk brain was even more chaotic. An Yan could barely keep his sanity, and explained in a daze: "Don't worry...it's okay...the driver will pick you up. I...will not be bumped into by reporters...I am very, very happy today, it is rare to meet an alumnus...permitted...it is actually my little junior sister..."

A certain name mentioned in this sentence undoubtedly touched Xu Shaoqian's scales.

Granted, the girl who has only met once, even though An Yan is drunk, still remembers her name clearly? !

Xu Shaoqian asked with a cold face: "Junior Sister? You must be in love with her, right?"

An Yan thought for a while, then said with a smile: "I feel a little...well, love at first sight for her."

love at first sight.

There is nothing more lethal than these four words.

Xu Shaoqian's heart seemed to be pierced severely by these four words.

For so many years, he has been by An Yan's side, has been patient, has been waiting, and An Yan's attitude towards him has gradually improved. One day, An Yan will be moved by his protection, will stay by his side, and will never leave.

When An Yan moved into Yuehu Community, he even thought that he was about to succeed.

Unexpectedly, an alumnus of some university suddenly appeared, causing An Yan to divert his attention inexplicably!

Feelings are a matter of mutual consent. Xu Shaoqian never thought of forcing An Yan, but that was before An Yan touched his Ni Lin!He can endure An Yan dating different female stars all day long, because he knows that those are just jokes, An Yan is not really tempted, An Yan has never really fallen in love with anyone!

But now it's different, An Yan actually publicly said that he fell in love with that person named Xu Xu at first sight?What Xu Shaoqian can't stand the most is that An Yan's heart is actually occupied by others!

Xu Shaoqian lifted An Yan's chin vigorously, and asked in a low voice, "Tell me, do you like her?"

An Yan was drunk, his mind was already a little confused, the shadow of the little junior sister flashed in front of his eyes, and the girl's face could not even be seen clearly, so he just replied instinctively: "...you like...do you?"

"Really?" Xu Shaoqian sneered, turned around suddenly, and directly pushed An Yan down on the sofa in the living room, "Do you know what kind of person she is? Do you know what kind of personality she is? I just met once. , you dare to say that you like it?!"

Xu Shaoqian lowered his voice, stared coldly into An Yan's eyes, and said word by word: "An Yan, do you know what real liking is?"
