endless city

When An Yan returned home that night, he found that An's house was suddenly extremely lively.Not only An Ze and An Luo, who moved out a long time ago, came back, but also An Mo, his cousin who went to be a teacher at the university. What's even more exaggerated is that even An Guangyao, who has been recuperating in a nursing home, is also at home.

An Yan bit the bullet and walked to the restaurant, having dinner with everyone.After the meal, An Yan walked up to Grandpa, said with a smile, "Grandpa, go to the study, I have something to tell you."

An Guangyao walked to the study with a serious face, closed the door, turned around and sat back on the sofa.

An Yan walked up to him, knelt down on his own initiative, and said softly, "Grandpa, I want to ask you one thing..."

An Guangyao asked suspiciously: "What's the matter? You knelt down on your own initiative, did you expect me to beat you?"

An Yan smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and said, "Grandpa, you take the antihypertensive medicine first, I'm afraid that if you get too angry, your blood pressure will suddenly rise again..."

"I just ate." An Guangyao frowned, "Tell me, what trouble did you get into again?"

An Yan was silent for a while, and then whispered: "I...I'm in love with Shaoqian, and I want to be with him."

"..." An Guangyao didn't respond.

An Yan was afraid of angering Grandpa, so he lowered his voice as much as possible, and said cautiously: "Grandpa, I am serious this time, I want to live with Shaoqian...Although he is a man, I really love him, It is impossible for me to be with anyone else except him. So, I want to ask you... to promise this."

"..." An Guangyao was silent for a long time.

An Yan looked up at him anxiously, "Grandpa... I hope you can agree..."

An Guangyao looked at An Yan with a complicated expression, and after a while, he said, "You have never begged anyone since you were young. Today, you are willing to kneel down and beg me for Xu Shaoqian?"

An Yan said seriously: "I'm sorry, grandpa... In my heart, Shaoqian is as important as you, so I hope you can accept him..."

An Guangyao was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "I have beaten you many times since I was a child, and every time I made you kneel down to reflect... I never thought that one day, you would actually kneel down and beg me because of Xu Shaoqian. ..." An Guangyao glanced at An Yan with a complicated expression, "It seems that you are serious this time? Is he that important to you?"

An Yan immediately nodded seriously: "Yes, I want to be with him."

An Guangyao frowned and asked, "Aren't you afraid of the pressure of public opinion? Are you afraid of the cynicism of those reporters?"

An Yan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter what the rumors in the entertainment circle are, just ignore them, the key is that you can agree. If the public can't accept it, I can also choose a suitable time to quit the entertainment circle and go home Come and help my brother take care of the business."

"No." An Guangyao frowned, "You are definitely doing your brother a disservice by going home to take care of business."

"..."

An Guangyao said seriously: "However, you can consider going to the Emerald Family to help Xu Shaoqian. Anyway, whether the Xu family goes bankrupt or not is none of my business."

An Yan froze for a moment, realized what Grandpa meant, and immediately looked up at him in surprise, "Grandpa, do you agree?"

"You knelt down and begged me. What if I don't agree? I can't beat you with a whip like I did when I was a child." An Guangyao sighed helplessly, "Besides, Xu Shaoqian also found me."

"Shaoqian?" An Yan asked in surprise, "What did he ask you for?"

"In the morning, he came to see me in the nursing home and talked to me a lot. I don't think anyone in this world knows you better than him...In that case, it's okay for the two of you to be together. The An family brothers Here, you are the one that gives me the most headache, and I can rest assured that I will have Shaoqian by my side in the future."

"..." No wonder Xu Shaoqian dared to show his cards directly at the press conference. It turned out that he had already resolved all his worries.

An Yan's heart was touched for a moment, and he hurriedly stood up, walked behind his grandfather and squeezed his shoulders, while giving him a massage, he smiled and said, "Grandpa, Shaoqian and I will honor you together in the future!"

An Guangyao felt very comfortable being massaged by An Yan's dog legs, and the corners of his mouth finally raised slightly.

The grandson he had the most trouble with was finally willing to settle down and live a good life with others... Although that person is a man, since the two of them love each other, it is really hard for him to stand up for his old bones Beat mandarin ducks with sticks.

An Guangyao was made drowsy by An Yan's massage, and he thought vaguely that he should go back to the nursing home to play chess with those old men and old ladies. The affairs of young people are really complicated, so let them handle it by themselves.

It will soon be December, and the tenth film festival will arrive as scheduled.

The box office of "Young Son of Heaven" starring An Yan and Chen Shiqi broke through the [-] million mark and won many nominations, including Jiang Xuening's Best Director, Chen Shiqi's Best Newcomer Award and An Yan's Best Actor nomination.

Because it happened to be the [-]th film festival, this year's film festival was held quite grandly, and many famous domestic and foreign singers were invited to sing at the award ceremony, and the award presenters were also seniors with high reputation in the film industry , the scene can be said to be hot and very hard to find a ticket!

An Yan walked the red carpet with Chen Shiqi. The two played the young empress in Young Emperor, and were once voted "Best Couple on Screen" by online votes.Of course, after the relationship between An Yan and Xu Shaoqian was exposed, the scandal between him and Chen Shiqi disappeared long ago.

An Yan led Chen Shiqi through the Avenue of Stars very gracefully. When he reached the end, he felt a sudden emotion in his heart. On this day last year, he and Xu Shaoqian walked through the Avenue of Stars together. At that time, he had no idea that Xu Shaoqian had more than friendship with him He even went home with him after getting drunk, but he ate up all his confusion...

After a whole year, the entertainment industry has been replaced by a new generation, and many talented newcomers have emerged, and Xu Shaoqian, who was named the number one actor back then, has completely disappeared from this circle.

An Yan couldn't help but miss that man in the familiar scene.Shaoqian has been busy with business matters recently, but he hasn't contacted him for several days, so I don't know how he is now?

An Yan and Chen Shiqi dealt with a few polite questions from the host before walking into the awards ceremony side by side.

The scene was crowded with people, An Yan walked to the arranged seat and sat down, just as he sat down, he suddenly noticed a familiar gaze cast on him, An Yan turned his head, and saw the tall man walking towards him, He sat down on the side seat with a calm expression.

An Yan was shocked, "Why are you here?"

Xu Shaoqian turned around, smiled slightly and said, "Although I have retired, I can still be an audience member, right? Besides, you have also been nominated for Best Actor in this year's film festival, so I always want to come Look at the results."

As he spoke, he gently held An Yan's hand under the seat, interlocking his fingers.

An Yan's face flushed slightly, "There are so many people here who know you, and if you appear like this, it will definitely be tomorrow's headline. And...why do you want to sit with me? You still think the scandal between us two Not sensational enough?"

Xu Shaoqian clasped An Yan's hand slightly tighter, and said calmly: "What are you afraid of? Anyway, everyone knows our relationship. Instead of hiding, it's better to be aboveboard." The grounds of the scene.

In the past, he thought about being An Yan's secret lover, but the exposure of this photo made him suddenly change his mind.He didn't want to endure it any longer, he didn't want to see An Yan constantly lying in front of the media in order to cover up the truth, and he didn't want to hide like a thief on every date in the future.Now that they decided to be together, why not directly disclose the relationship between the two, and let everyone know that An Yan belongs to Xu Shaoqian.

Thinking of this, Xu Shaoqian couldn't help but curled his lips slightly, leaned into An Yan's ear, and whispered: "Speaking of... after calming down for so long, what satisfactory answer do you want to give me?"

An Yan said: "After the awards ceremony is over."

Xu Shaoqian shrugged, "Okay."

The two turned their heads to look at the stage together. The awards ceremony went smoothly. The announcement of awards one by one and the performances of many guests brought the atmosphere of the scene to climaxes again and again.

It wasn't until the end that the host excitedly announced the finale award: "The next thing I want to announce to you is a very important award, that is our Best Actor Award, Best Actor Award! Let's take a look first, the [-]th Film Festival, The entertainers nominated for Best Actor are..."

""Gun King" Liu Guoyuan, "Youth Son of Heaven" An Yan..."

As the host read out the nominations, the faces of the five nominated actors flashed one after another on the big screen and the replays of classic clips in their nominated works, and there was a burst of warm applause at the scene.

"The award presenter, Ms. Bi Ning, is invited to announce it in person!" The host handed the sealed envelope to the award presenter, and the elegant actress of the previous session took out the results from the envelope, and read out with a smile——

"The artist who won the Best Actor in the [-]th Film Festival is... the king of guns, Liu Guoyuan!"

The applause at the scene reached its peak, Liu Guoyuan's popularity was not inferior to that of Xu Shaoqian at that time, and countless fans came here specially for him.Liu Guoyuan stood up and bowed to everyone very gentlemanly, and An Yan also applauded.

Seeing the happy look on his face, Xu Shaoqian couldn't help but said, "You didn't get the award, how could you be happier than if you won the award?"

An Yan said with a smile: "I have also watched this movie by Guoyuan, and it was very well made. Moreover, I am already very happy to be nominated. I won the leading actor with the movie "Youth Son of Heaven" , but the name does not match the reality, right?"

Xu Shaoqian was silent for a while, but couldn't help but also smiled.An Yan has such a free and easy personality, and will not be entangled in temporary gains and losses.The only time he struggled and suffered for a long time was for Xu Shaoqian.

So, shouldn't you be grateful?The weight in his heart is obviously more important than the best actor.

Xu Shaoqian thought happily.What answer will he give tonight?Suddenly, I looked forward to it.

After the awards ceremony, Chen Shiqi walked up to An Yan and said with a smile, "An Yan, let's have dinner together, I'm treating you."

"Okay!" An Yan naturally readily agreed, "The one who wins the prize should definitely treat him!"

Chen Shiqi won the Best Newcomer Award at the [-]th Film Festival for her role as the queen in "Young Son of Heaven". An Yan is also very happy for her. Now she has changed her contract to Huaan Group. Anze wants to focus on training her. I believe she will definitely be in the future. The future is bright.

Chen Shiqi looked at Xu Shaoqian with a smile and said, "Brother, let's go together, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Xu Shaoqian also nodded in agreement, and the three of them walked out together. When they reached the door, they saw Liu Guoyuan waiting there. Liu Guoyuan smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's go to a nearby restaurant and have some supper."

Everyone agreed that the restaurant was very close to here, and it would be good to walk there without driving. The four of them went to the private room that Liu Guoyuan had reserved, ordered some digestible supper, and chatted casually.

An Yan smiled and said, "Guoyuan, Shiqi, congratulations on your double harvest, both of you have won big prizes."

Liu Guoyuan joked: "I stole your trophy, don't hold grudges against me."

An Yan said with a smile: "If you are afraid that I will hold grudges, give me the trophy. I really want to feel what the actor's trophy looks like!"

Liu Guoyuan said: "Your Shaoqian has three, feel free to touch them when you go back, I only have this one, I can't give it to you!"

"..." An Yan decided to shut up.Liu Guoyuan always likes to tease him and Shaoqian, which is really embarrassing.Fortunately, Xu Shaoqian came back from the bathroom, and Liu Guoyuan changed the topic tactfully: "Shaoqian, everything went well after you returned to Xu's house to take over the business?"

Xu Shaoqian said, "It's okay."

The four of them chatted and ate supper, and it was already eleven o'clock when they finished eating, and they all left the restaurant together, An Yan suddenly stopped Chen Shiqi, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Shiqi."

Chen Shiqi asked suspiciously, "Thank you for what?"

At that time, Xu Shaoqian rushed to the scene of the press conference and directly confessed the relationship between the two. The entertainment circle seemed to set off a huge wave. They talked about it for several days, and the public opinion was also mixed.At this time, many celebrities chose to protect themselves and keep silent, and only Chen Shiqi and Liu Guoyuan dared to speak up and publicly supported An Yan and Xu Shaoqian to be together.

"The two of them love each other. Others have no right to interfere and question. Even if you don't want to bless them, please give them due respect. Aside from the aura of stars, An Yan and Xu Shaoqian are just an ordinary couple lovers!"

Chen Shiqi's remarks attracted a lot of bombardment from a group of navy soldiers, but she still calmly posted this message on the top of her personal Weibo, completely ignoring the abuse and replies below.

——A friend who can stand up and support you at critical moments is a real friend who can make friends.

An Yan smiled embarrassedly and said, "Of course, thank you for speaking for us."

Chen Shiqi also smiled, "So it's about this... There are too many gossips in the entertainment industry, you don't have to pay attention to those people, just feel at ease with senior brother."

An Yan smiled and said, "I know."

After everyone separated, An Yan drove out of the car from the parking lot and rushed to Yuehu Community.

Halfway through the car, suddenly noticed that there seems to be a car following behind you?An Yan looked in the rearview mirror suspiciously, and sure enough, he saw a car chasing after him. It was the familiar silver Audi, Xu Shaoqian's car.

Only then did An Yan heave a sigh of relief, followed by Xu Shaoqian, who obviously wanted to go back to Yuehu Community on this road.

The two drove back to Yuehu community one after the other, An Yan parked the car and walked to the door, and saw Xu Shaoqian also parked the car, walked to the front, and looked at An Yan with a half-smile.

"..." Followed all the way, does this mean to follow up directly at home?

An Yan rubbed his nose and opened the door. Xu Shaoqian followed him into the house with a calm expression. As soon as the door closed, Xu Shaoqian grabbed An Yan's wrist and directly pressed An Yan against the wall, holding him in his arms. He whispered, "An Yan...have you thought it through? How long do I have to wait?"

An Yan smiled and said, "I'm sweating a lot, I'm going to take a shower first."

"..." Looking at An Yan who quickly slipped into the bathroom, Xu Shaoqian felt a little helpless, so he had no choice but to go into the bedroom, turn on the light, and read a random book.

The sound of rushing water in the bathroom made Xu Shaoqian a little irritable, he couldn't read the words in the book at all, he didn't know what An Yan's so-called answer was... his heart was full of expectations, and through the frosted glass in the bathroom, there was a vague Seeing An Yan's body lines made Xu Shaoqian's mouth dry even more.

An Yan quickly came out of the shower, dried his hair with a towel, walked up to Xu Shaoqian, and smiled, "Have you been waiting here all this time? Can't wait to know my answer?"

"What do you think?" Xu Shaoqian stared deeply at the person in front of him, and suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged An Yan's waist forcefully, making the two bodies stick together without any gaps, "I've been waiting for you for too long, An Yan."

An Yan was hugged tightly by him, his heartbeat stalled a little, he took a deep breath and calmed down, then he looked up at Xu Shaoqian and said: "Shaoqian, do you still remember that when I was just admitted to university, there was a relationship between us? Was there a promise?"

Xu Shaoqian nodded: "Remember. We made an agreement to win the best actor award within eight years. Those who can't do it will agree to the other party's request."

An Yan smiled slightly and said: "I have never forgotten this agreement. Today, it happens to be the full eight-year expiration."

"..." Xu Shaoqian seemed to have vaguely guessed something in his heart, but such a guess made him a little unbelievable for a moment.

Sure enough, the answer that shocked him finally came out slowly from An Yan's mouth——

"The agreed eight-year deadline has come, and I still haven't won the best actor trophy, so I lost the bet." An Yan looked up at Xu Shaoqian, blushing slightly, and said seriously , "So, tonight...no matter what you ask, I will agree to you. I admit defeat."
