endless city

The press conference was about to start, at this moment, Zhou Mu suddenly leaned into Xu Shaoqian's ear, and said in a low voice, "An Yan's call is said to be urgent, and I want you to answer it right away."

An Yan called Xu Shaoqian for a long time and couldn't get through. He was so anxious that he had to call Zhou Mu. Fortunately, Zhou Mu's cell phone was always on, and he immediately forwarded it to Xu Shaoqian after receiving An Yan's call.

Xu Shaoqian frowned slightly, and made an apologetic gesture to the reporters, "I'm sorry, everyone, wait a minute."

Walked to the backstage and picked up the phone, said "Hello" in a low voice, and heard An Yan's excited voice next to his ear: "Shaoqian, I was too impulsive before and said a lot of things I shouldn't have said, I want to finish the show with you Endless City, we have already signed a contract, if we don't act, we will be sorry to many people... Even if you really decide to quit the entertainment industry, it will be after you finish acting in this movie, okay?"

Hearing that Xu Shaoqian didn't respond, An Yan repeated anxiously: "Shaoqian...are you okay?"

An Yan's voice was so excited that it even trembled slightly.

The long silence made An Yan tightly grip the phone tightly.

This kind of waiting was as long as a century. Every second was a torment for him, and the anxiety made him almost go crazy.Only at this moment did An Yan realize that waiting for a reply from the one he loves is such a difficult process.It was hard for him to imagine that Xu Shaoqian had survived like this all these years.

I don't know how long it took before Xu Shaoqian whispered, "Okay."

A simple word made the rock in An Yan's heart finally fall to the ground. He was so happy that he didn't know how to reply, so he said incoherently: "That's great, Shaoqian... Thank you, thank you. Let's finish this performance together. Let's make a movie."

Xu Shaoqian said, "You're welcome."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Shaoqian took a deep breath. Although he didn't know why An Yan suddenly changed his mind, he had promised An Yan that no matter what happened, as long as An Yan called him, he would definitely be obliged.Now that he has left such an adult, he will not refuse An Yan's plea.

But to be honest, An Yan has never begged him for anything in all these years.Unexpectedly, the first time An Yan spoke, it was to let him finish the role of Endless City...?

This is Xu Shaoqian's greatest wish before leaving the entertainment industry.

what happened?An Yan suddenly changed his mind?Xu Shaoqian frowned, turned back to the reception site, looked at the audience full of reporters, Xu Shaoqian picked up the microphone, and said calmly: "Sorry for keeping everyone waiting for so long. Next, the press conference officially begins."

"First of all, I want to announce one thing. Due to my family's reasons, I will quit the entertainment industry in the near future. Here, I would like to thank the fans for their support over the years." Xu Shaoqian paused, "However, to What I want to declare is that before quitting the entertainment circle, I will continue to cooperate with An Yan and finish filming the sequel of Endless City."

"Endless City will be the last movie I star in."

The reporters at the scene were collectively dumbfounded.

In the past few days, news such as "Xu Shaoqian and An Yan have a big fight" and "Endless City will not be filmed" have been spread everywhere. Unexpectedly, Xu Shaoqian's calm words actually denied all these news.

After a burst of camera bombardment, a reporter stood up excitedly and asked: "Why did you suddenly change your mind? Was it a lie to deceive the public when you said you would no longer shoot Endless City?"

Xu Shaoqian glanced at the reporter, and said in a low voice: "I have never publicly said the words 'no longer play Endless City' on any occasion. I only said that I will quit the entertainment industry. The contract for the sequel to Endless City has been signed long ago. I'll finish it before I leave."

The reporter froze for a moment, but before he could react, someone stood up and asked, "Excuse me, Shaoqian, regarding the news that you and An Yan fought on the set before, the two of you have not given a positive response. How do you feel about it?" explain?"

"My relationship with An Yan has always been very good. The so-called big fight on the set... It was just a joke between good friends. I went to visit the set that day and said a few words to make fun of him, and he punched me in a fit of anger. An Yan is such a straightforward person." Xu Shaoqian paused, then looked back at the reporter who asked him the question, "If it wasn't because of a good relationship, if it was someone else, An Yan would not fight because of his image. You Say it?"

Reporter: "Uh, this..."

Xu Shaoqian smiled, "Next question."

An Yan, who was standing in front of the TV, was stunned for a while, watching Xu Shaoqian calmly deal with all kinds of difficult questions from the reporters, and he was able to say so confidently when he described black as white. He really is an acting school, Not to mention that the reporter was rendered speechless by what he said, even An Yan himself was almost convinced by him.

The reception lasted for an hour, Xu Shaoqian calmly settled the reporters' questions, and An Yan finally felt relieved.

Looking back, the phone was full of missed calls, including manager Chang Lin, mother Zhou Bizhen, younger brother An Ze, and even Xu Shaoqian's junior sister Chen Shiqi. In just half an hour, An Yan's phone was almost blown up.

Excitedly, I pressed mute just now and didn't hear it at all, so An Yan had the cheek to send text messages to these people one by one to explain. After dialing the phone, he said with a cold face: "An Yan! Are you and Xu Shaoqian going to piss me off? My official website has written an announcement that Xu Shaoqian will quit the entertainment circle and stop filming in Endless City!"

An Yan said nervously, "Ah? Has the announcement been made?"

"It hasn't been released yet, but it will be released immediately after the reception is over."

"Quickly change it and post it again." Afraid that his mother would get angry, An Yan immediately softened his voice, "Mom, don't be angry... I thought about it all night last night, and I suddenly figured it out, so you let me send it to you." Let's finish this movie. As long as this movie is finished, Shaoqian will not be scolded so badly when he quits the circle in the future, and I will not leave a dishonorable record of dishonesty. Also, this movie The box office will definitely not be too bad, and the company can also make a lot of money, killing three birds with one stone, that's great."

An Yan said a lot of words to cover up his guilty conscience, but Zhou Bizhen interrupted him in a low voice: "There is no need to explain so much, I know you are not such a willful person. I didn't want to act in this movie before, you must have you The difficulties, right?"

An Yan said in a panic: "No, Mom, I don't have any problems..."

"Okay, if you don't want to tell me the truth, I won't force you. Now you suddenly want to act again. I don't know why, but, An Yan..." Zhou Bizhen paused and said word by word, "Mom is on your side. No matter what happens, mom doesn't want you to suffer any grievances."

"..." Zhou Bizhen's words made An Yan's eyes heat up, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.

Zhou Bizhen softened her voice and said, "I know, you must have been wronged a lot, that's why you are so resolute in refusing to act in this movie, isn't it?"

An Yan: "..."

"The grievance you suffered must have something to do with Xu Shaoqian, right?"

"No, it's none of his business." An Yan hurriedly interrupted Zhou Bizhen, "Mom, don't make wild guesses, I will finish this movie well." He smiled pretendingly and relaxedly, "Just wait and see your son's wonderful performance!"

Zhou Bizhen said helplessly: "Well, since you guys decide to continue acting, it's a good thing for the company. But... If you are wronged, you must tell me, and my mother will help you."

An Yan said with a smile: "Understood, you can rest assured!"

After hanging up the phone, An Yan felt warm in his heart, but at the same time, there was some indescribable bitterness.

My mother has always been hard-spoken and soft-hearted. No matter what decision An Yan makes since childhood, she will support him. She has always stood by her son.However, with what face should I tell her the so-called truth?

The truth is, your unworthy son was raped by Xu Shaoqian, you couldn't face him and resolutely refused to act in Endless City, but when Xu Shaoqian was about to leave, you found out tragically... that you actually fell in love with him?

If you knew that your dull son fell in love with a man, would you still stand by his side without hesitation like before?Would you be okay with the fact that he couldn't marry and have kids and was with a man?

An Yan clutched the phone tightly, only feeling uncomfortable in his heart.

He didn't want his mother to be sad because of this, but he also didn't want to give up on Shaoqian just like that. After he found out that he really fell in love with Xu Shaoqian, a more cruel fact came before him: his family couldn't accept it at all.

Wanting to be with Xu Shaoqian, there are too many difficulties to face, and An Yan is almost out of breath.

That night, Gao Xin contacted the two leading actors respectively to confirm their respective schedules. The deadline for the crew assembly was set on June 6, which is three days later.

Xu Shaoqian returned to Xu's house, explained the matter to Xu Zizheng clearly, and went back to his room to tidy up his things briefly.He planned to accompany Xu Shaobai to study in the United States, so he carried the suitcase back to Xu's house. Now it seems that the suitcase needs to be repacked and carried to the film crew.

I was sorting things in the house when I heard a knock on the door.Xu Shaoqian turned around and opened the door, only to see Xu Shaobai standing at the door with a strangely indifferent expression.

Xu Shaoqian asked worriedly, "Shaobai, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Shaobai looked up at him, "Brother, didn't you say that you would accompany me to the United States after I got the visa?"

Xu Shaobai hadn't graduated yet. During this time, Xu Zizheng was seriously ill and was hospitalized. He asked for leave to return to China to take care of Xu Zizheng. After Xu Zizheng was discharged from the hospital, he would naturally return to American schools to continue his studies.Originally thought that Xu Shaoqian would also go to the United States to study with him, but unexpectedly, a phone call from An Yan made Xu Shaoqian change his mind again.

Xu Shaobai stared at Xu Shaoqian's eyes seriously, such cold eyes made Xu Shaoqian startled suddenly, the strange feeling in his heart made Xu Shaoqian avoid his younger brother's sight, and whispered: "Sorry, Shaobai, I'm sorry for this movie. The filming must be finished, and the matter of going to the United States may have to be delayed until next year."

"Next year?" Xu Shaobai smiled slightly, "You forgot, I will graduate next year."

"..." Xu Shaoqian fell silent.

"The phone call at the press conference this morning was from An Yan, right? His phone call made you change your mind. You are willing to do anything for him, and you don't even look like you at all."

Xu Shaobai stared directly at Xu Shaoqian, and said coldly, "You are like a humble wretch who has been following An Yan's ass for so many years, but what about him? He changes girlfriends more than clothes Qin, has he looked at you? Has he responded to you? You still don't give up, don't you want to see the day he gets married and has a baby with your own eyes? "

"..." Xu Shaobai's words made Xu Shaoqian's heart suddenly tingle, and after a moment of silence, he sank his face and said in a low voice, "Shaobai, no matter what happens to An Yan, it is also a matter between me and him... You care too much."

"I care too much?" Xu Shaobai looked at Xu Shaoqian, and said in a low voice, "If there is someone who has been secretly in love with you like you have a crush on An Yan, and is willing to give everything for you, even life... you will Give him a chance? Even just one chance?"

Xu Shaoqian also raised his head, looked directly into his younger brother's eyes and said, "No."

"Oh?" Xu Shaobai raised his eyebrows, "Can you make a decision like this without even asking his name?"

"Emotions are what you love and what I wish. I have no obligation to be responsible to the person who likes me. Similarly, An Yan has no obligation to respond to me." Xu Shaoqian's voice was extremely calm, "Even if An Yan changes his girlfriend The clothes are still dirty, even if he doesn't give me any answer, although I will be sad, but from an objective point of view, An Yan did nothing wrong."

"Falling in love with An Yan is something I do voluntarily, no one forces me. Even though An Yan has countless shortcomings in your eyes, to me, he is my only one."

"My greatest wish is to be with him. Even if this wish cannot be fulfilled, I will not force myself into a pair with other people. So, no matter who you are talking about, I will not give him any Chance."

"If there is such a person, I can only say...sorry."

Xu Shaoqian patted his younger brother's shoulder lightly, "Shaobai, I am such a selfish person, I only have one place in my heart, and it has been reserved for An Yan, and I can't tolerate others anymore."

After Xu Shaoqian finished speaking, he carried the suitcase, walked around Xu Shaobai, turned around and walked out of the bedroom, leaving only a haughty and indifferent back.

Xu Shaobai looked at the back of his brother going away. After a long time, he suddenly smiled slightly, took out the mobile phone with the calling function turned on from his pocket, and said softly to the other side of the phone: "Did you hear everything?"

"..." The sound of suppressed and painful rapid breathing came from the phone.

Xu Shaobai smiled and said: "Not only will he not give you a chance, he is not even interested in knowing your name. All his tenderness is left to An Yan. He said that there is no room for others in his heart." .”

A man's trembling voice sounded next to his ear: "Shaobai...don't, don't say any more."

"Can you hear clearly? If there is anything missing, I have already recorded it all, and I can play it back for you at any time." A nasty smile appeared on the corner of Xu Shaobai's mouth, but a pair of dark eyes flashed a moment With a look of despair and pain, "This is the person you have been secretly in love with for many years. He didn't even have any interest in knowing who you are, so he refused directly. And..."

Beep—a loud voice suddenly came from my ear, and the phone was hung up hastily in a panic.

Xu Shaobai looked at the phone that ended the call in his hand, smiled slightly, and said softly: "And...the person who really likes you, you have never...glanced at him..."

Xu Shaobai kept the call records, put the phone back in his pocket, and watched Xu Shaoqian's car gradually disappear into the night outside the window, his black and shiny eyes became deeper and deeper.
