endless city

The flight tickets to return to China within three days have been sold out, and An Yan's activities in Paris have not yet been completely over. After dealing with everything and returning to China, it will be a week after An Luo wakes up.

As soon as An Yan returned to China, he rushed directly to the hospital. His brother's leg was covered with thick plaster, and his body was covered with scars. The expression on his face was very calm. Seeing his brother like this, An Yan couldn't help feeling distressed, which made him feel even worse. The shocking thing is... An Luo actually lost his memory!He doesn't remember everything, and he doesn't recognize An Yan at all!

Listening to his brother calmly asking: "What's your name", An Yan only felt a burst of frustration, sat down on the side of the bed a little aggrieved, looked up at his brother and said, "Brother... I am An Yan."

An Luo nodded and said, "Oh, I remember."

An Yan stared blankly at the plaster cast on his leg, feeling a little distressed, but he didn't have such crazy thoughts as An Ze said, "I hope the one whose leg is broken is me" and "I wish I could bear all the injuries for him".

Sure enough, love can make even calm people lose their minds.

Brother, not to mention responding to Anze, he doesn't even remember his appearance and name, he feels so uncomfortable, Anze must feel even more uncomfortable in his heart, right?An Yan used to not be optimistic about, let alone support this kind of unethical brotherhood, but that night, An Ze's phone call made An Yan suddenly feel sympathetic and understanding to this younger brother.

In the next few days, An Yan took time to visit the hospital again. An Luo always had such a cold and indifferent attitude. What made people even more angry was that when he was pushing An Luo for a walk in the hospital this afternoon, he was bumped into by the paparazzi. Those people were bombarded with questions around the two of them.

"An Yan, I heard that you rejected the endless crew's invitation to shoot a sequel. Is the rumor that you and Xu Shaoqian are at odds true?" "Xu Shaoqian has already taken over the lead role, why don't you continue acting?" Is this very irresponsible?" "I heard that your brother was kidnapped, did you return to China this time to take care of him?"

A bunch of questions made An Yan upset, took off his sunglasses, and glanced coldly at the reporters, "Everyone, if you have any questions, please ask me alone at the press conference! Don't disturb my brother's rest!"

However, the scheduled press conference did not go smoothly.

That night, An Yan suddenly received a call from Zhou Bizhen. Zhou Bizhen was obviously very angry, with obvious anger in his tone: "An Yan, what's the matter with you? Did you really fight with Xu Shaoqian on the set? He I ran to visit the class with good intentions, even if I disagree with you, you don't need to beat people, right?"

"..." An Yan remained silent with a stiff face.

"As a popular star, you have to learn to control your emotions on any occasion, have you even forgotten this?!" Zhou Bizhen frowned and said, "You still have to stop performing Endless 2, this is your unilateral idea Right? I contacted Chang Lin, and he said that he didn't know the reason, that you didn't want to act anymore, what are you thinking, An Yan?"

"Mom, I..."

Zhou Bizhen interrupted An Yan with a sullen face, "Don't respond to those reporters yet, we'll talk about everything when I get back! Go home and take care of your brother these few days, do you hear me?"

"Oh..." An Yan had no choice but to hang up the phone with a guilty conscience.

When Zhou Bizhen returned from dealing with the affairs in France, the rumors of An Yan and Xu Shaoqian fighting on the set were already raging, because the two protagonists did not give a positive response, which further ignited the hearts of media reporters. , Entertainment World Forum even appeared such a funny post as "Analysis of 100 Possibilities for Fighting between the Movie King and the Heavenly King".

This afternoon, Zhou Bizhen called An Yan and Xu Shaoqian directly back to the company with a phone call. The two met outside the office. Xu Shaoqian looked at An Yan and moved his lips to speak, but An Yan immediately avoided his gaze and directly Go around him and go into the office.

Xu Shaoqian was silent for a moment, and had no choice but to follow An Yan's footsteps.

Seeing the two people coming in, Zhou Bizhen stood up from the swivel chair, glanced at them sharply, and said calmly, "What's going on with you, can you give me an explanation?"

Both were silent.

Zhou Bizhen frowned and said, "We're all grown-ups, so it's necessary to fight on the set? There are so many idlers waiting on the set, it's hard to guarantee that they won't be photographed! An Yan, look at your appearance, your hair is messed up and you're holding it angrily. Fist rushing out, do you know how ruined the image is?"

An Yan lowered his head and said nothing.

Zhou Bizhen glared at him, then looked at Xu Shaoqian, "Shaoqian, you too. You have always been calm, why are you messing around with An Yan? Even if he beats you, you shouldn't chase him out! This is good, two people They were all photographed! It's not like you don't know how much money you can make by taking such a photo and posting it to the newspaper with the fame of the two of you!"

Zhou Bizhen threw the newspaper on the table with a snap, and seeing that the two of them had been silent, Zhou Bizhen rolled her eyes helplessly, and said, "Okay, you're both big men, and good buddies who grew up together, what kind of grievances do you have?" Make it clear to your face, don't make fun of me outside."

An Yan blushed, not knowing what to say.In front of your mother, how can you say that your son was raped and kissed by this bastard, and he beat him when he couldn't bear it?

Xu Shaoqian suddenly said: "I'm sorry, I provoked An Yan and he beat me up. It's my fault."

"..." An Yan lowered his head and clenched his fists fiercely.

"However, since the incident has already happened, let's think of a remedy." Xu Shaoqian looked at An Yan and said calmly, "An Yan, you really don't want to continue acting in Endless City?"

An Yan said with a cold face: "Do I still need to ask?"

Xu Shaoqian was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "In this case, then I will come forward." After a pause, he looked back at Zhou Bizhen, and said calmly, "Just say that I decided to quit the entertainment circle, and there is no way to continue to play endless City, because of my withdrawal as the leading actor, there is no need for An Yan to continue acting. Only in this way, An Yan's reputation will not be affected."

An Yan was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to realize what he was talking about. He looked up at Xu Shaoqian in shock: "You, what are you talking about? You want to quit the entertainment industry?"

Xu Shaoqian nodded calmly: "Yes."

He originally planned to make Endless City his last movie. It was the only movie he and An Yan had collaborated on. He only made the first one, and the plot was not over yet. I want him and An Yan to finish this story together, this story about "desperate love".

He didn't want to leave such a regret that could never be made up in his acting career.

However, today's An Yan, even when he saw Xu Shaoqian, his face would be stiff and his brows would be frowned because of disgust. How could he go to finish the scene with Xu Shaoqian as if nothing had happened?

No matter on or off the screen, Xu Shaoqian was the only one who fell into this love.

Enduring the pain in his heart, Xu Shaoqian looked back at An Yan and said, "I have decided to quit the entertainment circle and help my fourth uncle manage the business of the Emerald Family."

In this way, there will be less and less intersection between us, and you won't be upset to see me, will you?

Xu Shaoqian looked at the lover in front of him quietly. He has loved An Yan for so many years. His love has been deeply rooted and it is as natural as breathing. It is impossible for him to forget An Yan, it is impossible to let An Yan go, but... His In return for the confession of true love, the evaluation of "disgusting homosexuality" made Xu Shaoqian suddenly feel very tired.

Love is like a game of throwing a ball. You throw it, I catch it, and the two of you cooperate together, and it will last forever.Once one of them breaks, the game must be over.

What's more... For Xu Shaoqian, one of them has never responded.

An Yan would never catch the ball he threw. He was the only one who kept playing this game called love like a fool.For so many years, he has been paying, loving An Yan unilaterally, guarding An Yan, even when he is about to leave, he has taken on everything and tried to protect An Yan's reputation.

But An Yan never gave him any response.

After a long time, Xu Shaoqian was really tired.He has always known that falling in love with An Yan is something he does voluntarily, and it is An Yan's freedom whether An Yan responds.

But.He is not reconciled.

He was unwilling to just watch An Yan with others like this, so he lost control for a while and used such a drastic way to reverse the relationship between the two.Unfortunately, it still failed.He has been gentle and forceful to An Yan, even said "I love you" countless times, exhausted all kinds of methods, but still can't get the desired result.

An Yan always only regarded him as a friend, and always ignored his confession from the heart.

Up to now, he even treats him as a disgusting homosexual, avoiding the plague like fearing that he won't be able to avoid it.

An Yan had no idea how uncomfortable his evasive eyes and disgusted tone were in Xu Shaoqian's eyes.

Since An Yan has never been able to be tempted, what's the point of continuing to entangle like this, repeatedly hurting each other?

Xu Shaoqian looked at An Yan, was silent for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "An Yan, don't worry, I will settle this matter. After a while, I will hold a press conference to announce the news of retiring from the circle, and then you can follow the trend, Don't play Everlasting City anymore. You don't have to worry about the crew, I will take care of everything."

"..."

"Also... I have always owed you an apology." Xu Shaoqian stepped forward, looked at An Yan seriously, and said word by word, "I know, I did a lot of excessive things before, and I should formally apologize to you ...I'm sorry, An Yan."

"You, what are you talking about?" An Yan's face suddenly turned pale.

Xu Shaoqian's words were very calm, so calm that there was even a taste of farewell.

what does he mean?Quit the entertainment industry, and never see him on the screen again?Is he... saying goodbye?

"I mean, I will quit the entertainment circle, and I will stop acting in the future. I plan to set up a branch in the United States to help the Xu family develop foreign markets, and maybe I won't come back." Xu Shaoqian paused, "Since you hate me so much "I don't know what else to do for you other than to apologize and leave."

An Yan froze in place, his mind went blank.

Apologize?Yes, Xu Shaoqian did owe him an apology.I should have said I was sorry when I raped X, but I have postponed it until now.This proud man has never bowed his head in front of anyone, but now, standing in front of An Yan, in front of An Yan's mother, he bowed his head to An Yan.He said seriously: Sorry, An Yan, I was wrong.

He is wrong!How wrong!He shouldn't have come here so recklessly!

An Yan has always wanted to forgive Xu Shaoqian because he refused to apologize, but now, when Xu Shaoqian finally apologized seriously... An Yan suddenly discovered that what he had been looking forward to was actually not his apology.

In other words, I never really hated him at all... I never thought of asking him to apologize for this...

Xu Shaoqian is going abroad?never come back?Never see him again?

This kind of cognition made An Yan's heart suddenly empty.

It was as if something very important had been forcibly pulled away from the bottom of his heart. The feeling of emptiness made An Yan so uncomfortable that he almost collapsed.

He left, shouldn't he be happy?It's me who said he was annoying and disgusting, and I told him to leave and drive him away over and over again, wasn't it?

But why is it so uncomfortable?When this person finally realized his mistake, and finally chose to apologize and leave...why did his heart throb?

Xu Shaoqian suddenly walked up to him, stretched out his arms, hugged An Yan gently, and said softly, "I'm sorry... I did a lot of excessive things to you before... I lost control temporarily."

"Where you need me in the future, as long as you give me a call, I will definitely be obliged."

"If you don't want to see me, I won't appear in front of you again."

"Goodbye, An Yan."

Such a gentle hug seems to be just a farewell ceremony between friends.

For some reason, at the moment when Xu Shaoqian's familiar arms embraced him, An Yan suddenly felt a heat in his eye sockets, as if something rushed into his eyes, blurring his vision instantly.

An Yan stared blankly at the back of Xu Shaoqian who turned and left. The man's tall back looked so lonely and lonely.

An Yan's voice was choked in his throat, but he couldn't say the simplest two words——

Goodbye.
