Accidental Hide and Seek

Lin Xiyang went out alone in the afternoon, put on glasses, a mask, and a hat, and took the bus to the subway, but no one recognized him along the way.But after arriving at Huisheng Company, because of the need to verify the identity of the entrant, he had to show his true face, and his appearance could not be concealed, which immediately attracted all kinds of curious eyes.

Contempt, disdain, curiosity, concern, familiar and unfamiliar scenes made Lin Xiyang very uncomfortable, so he quickened his pace and wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

Ma Shan is ridden by others, and others are bullied by others, but in the entertainment industry, you are not good or not, with no background and no support, you are destined to be bullied.Today's Lin Xiyang is unfortunately classified into this category, so troubles ensue.

He wanted to solve the problem quickly, but he didn't follow his wish. The time he had agreed with the department manager was two o'clock in the afternoon, but unfortunately, a musician who had become popular recently came in. He was young. He was full of vigor, and I heard that there were rich people backing him, so Lin Xiyang naturally got behind him.

After being invited into the waiting room, the lady in charge of reception gave him a few extra glances, but still dutifully brought him tea and asked him to wait.

Talking about waiting, but who knows when they are going to talk about it, after waiting in the waiting room for a while, Lin Xiyang felt bored, and after flipping through the magazines a few times, he still chose to pick up his phone and initiate a text message, and the target was naturally It was Fan Weichen who was waiting at home.At first, he just wanted to tell him that he might come back later, but later Fan Weichen wrote back, and the two of them didn't know how they were arguing, and they started to gossip about others.

『Dear ╭(╯[-]╰)╮, what ghosts and monsters are behind those celebrities?Grab a few to listen to. 』

Lin Xiyang was so amused by him that he forgot that he was also one of the gossips. After thinking about it, he really cheered up with him, "Every online magazine that should be said has said that most of the beautiful and popular ones are supported by others." , There are people in the circle, and of course there are those wealthy presidents. 』

"Is it a mistress? 』

"They all want to become regulars. As the saying goes, marriage is the second reincarnation, and if you can choose, you have to choose a good one." 』

『(⊙o⊙) Oh, dear, how do you feel about joining my family? 』

『-_-|||... Ah Chen, don't force me to slap you. 』

"~~~My lord, please spare me! ! ! 』

Seeing the funny emoji, Lin Xiyang couldn't help but burst out laughing. At this moment, the reception lady came in again and told him that the manager could meet him. Lin Xiyang restrained his smile and sent a message With a soothing expression, he replied, "I'm going to see my boss, I'll talk to you when I get back." ’, after which he closed the phone and stopped being distracted.

Walking into the department manager's office, Lin Xiyang sat down in front of the desk. The other party was not a complete stranger. They had met before, but they didn't get along very well, because the manager hated homosexuality.

"Mr. Lin, I wasted too much time before, so I won't go around talking about it." The department manager raised his glasses on the bridge of his nose seriously, and his tone was not polite.

He took out two contracts from the drawer and put them in front of him, then said straight to the point: "Because you violated the contents of the first contract and the negative news caused inconvenience to the company, we will terminate the contract with you. And please pay the following liquidated damages..."

Hearing what he said, Lin Xiyang was taken aback for a moment, and after a while he came back to his senses and asked, "The so-called negative news...does it mean my marriage?"

The department manager did not respond, which was acquiescence, which made Lin Xiyang frown, "But saying that marriage is negative news, I don't think I can accept this argument."

He is lenient on many things, but this is the only one he can’t do. Lin Xiyang insists and affirms that his marriage did not involve any negative factors. It is just a same-sex marriage. Why can’t he be respected and blessed by others, and instead be listed as “negative” Woolen cloth!

But the manager of the department seemed very stubborn and insisted on his own opinion: "This is the company's decision, not my own. If there is any objection..."

"I'll tell it myself!"

After speaking, Lin Xiyang got up angrily, picked up the documents on the table and walked out without saying hello.

After working in Huisheng for eight years, Lin Xiyang still remembers where it is. With a pile of documents, he doesn't care about other people's eyes, and he goes straight to the general manager's office, he wants an explanation!

Faced with his sudden arrival, Shao Shiting was very surprised, but when he saw the documents in his hand, he guessed his purpose of coming.Waved to let the secretary go out first, Shao Shiting felt that he should give him an explanation for this matter.

After hesitating again and again, Shao Shiting opened with a happy wedding, but Lin Xiyang snorted coldly: "Are you mocking me?"

"No, I'm just surprised that you are so quick..." Shao Shiting paused, and asked with some doubts, "Is it because of me?"

"Don't put gold on your face, it has nothing to do with you." Lin Xiyang didn't care much about his previous paragraph, "I just came to ask why my marriage is a negative news, don't you think it's too arbitrary!? "

Shao Shiting looked at the document that Lin Xiyang threw in front of him. He wanted to say something at first, but he still didn't say it in the end. He just sighed and said, "This is the decision of the superior, other people's opinions cannot be used as a reference..."

Lin Xiyang has heard such a perfunctory tone before, which usually means that Shao Shiting is hiding something.Knowing that there would be no result in talking with him, Lin Xiyang decisively ended the topic, took a deep breath and asked, "When will the boss return to the company?"

"Xiyang, you..."

"Don't call me so intimate!" Lin Xiyang felt uncomfortable when he heard it, "I asked when your superiors will come here?"

Hearing his tone, Shao Shiting knew that something was wrong. Lin Xiyang's personality had never changed because of failure, but he was more tenacious. He insisted that he would stick to the end if he did nothing wrong. I want an explanation for myself, just like I did when I came out of the closet.

"Xi... Lin, this is really an unwise choice." Shao Shiting tried to persuade him.

But Lin Xiyang still had no intention of retreating, and asked aggressively, "When?"

Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, Shao Shiting could only reply with a long sigh of regret: "In three days...there will be a board meeting around ten o'clock in the morning."

With the answer, Lin Xiyang nodded, and then left immediately without any nostalgia.

However, Shao Shiting still couldn't help advising: "Lin, if you still think about your future, just bear with it this time!"

Lin Xiyang didn't look back, and the answer was obvious - just like last time, Lin Xiyang was obsessed with his love and was unwilling to compromise.

Lin Xiyang was very unhappy on the way home, but no one noticed because he covered his face, and finally got home, it was already evening.Open the door with the key, and you will be greeted with a warm picture. As usual, the kitten has been taken home by Fan Weichen, and now he is bouncing on the sofa to share interesting stories about today’s kindergarten with his father, and Fan Weichen Standing in front of the cooking counter with a smile on his face, he listened to his son talking, and occasionally added a few words while peeling potatoes. The father and son interacted very happily.

Seeing that the two of them were in a better mood, Lin Xiyang forgot all the company contracts. He picked up his son and sat on the sofa together, joining their conversation.

Kitty Mao also excitedly shared his joy with Daddy. It turned out that Kitty’s birthday was approaching. In the past, Fan Weichen had given it to the child himself, but this time Fan’s father proposed to hold a birthday party for his grandson.

It was reasonable for the grandfather to celebrate his only little grandson's birthday, and Lin Xiyang didn't care too much.He began to plan his own gift for his children, thought for a long time, and finally decided to choose what he was best at.

For three whole days, Lin Xiyang was locked in the piano room, his mind full of little bean sprouts.On the morning of the third day, a cheerful little piece of music inspired by kittens in life was born. Lin Xiyang named it "Meow" as a gift to his most beloved baby.

Of course, while giving gifts to the children, Lin Xiyang did not forget what day it was.

According to the law summed up by Lin Xiyang, the regular meeting of general directors always ends in an hour and a half, so he calculated the time to go out, and rushed to Huisheng Company before the end of the meeting, and insisted on sitting in front of the meeting room and waiting in spite of the secretary's dissuasion. People, only one goal - Huisheng's chairman, Qiu Zhengqi.

Everyone in this company knows that Qiu Shaotong, Qiu Zhengqi's daughter, snatched Shao Shiting from Lin Xiyang, and everyone regarded it as a laughingstock. Now this scene is even more interesting. To Qiu Zhengqi, Lin Xiyang is basically Hitting a pebble against a rock has no chance of winning.

On the contrary, Chairman Qiu was so gracious that he let Lin Xiyang into his office for a private interview.

"It is impossible for the company to release this song on the album in your name."

For Qiu Zhengqi, who has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, Lin Xiyang is not a threat at all, so he doesn't need to be polite, and he understands the reason directly.

"Marriage with a man itself attracts criticism. Now it is full of uproar and the city is full of storms. Even if you say no, can you convince those reporters and media!?"

"Even so, I can't say it's a 'negative', I can't accept it, it's my marriage!"

Although Lin Xiyang wasn't the type to be eloquent, he didn't lack words for his defense, but his words seemed much weaker in the face of this all-powerful chairman in the entertainment industry.

Qiu Zhengqi was never easy to provoke, he snorted coldly, and insisted: "If you have good words, save it to the media. The termination of the contract cannot be changed. Please pay the liquidated damages within the specified time limit, otherwise this song will be destroyed. It will be handled by the company as a "mortgage"."

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the chairman's office. Qiu Zhengqi thought that there was no need to talk nonsense with Lin Xiyang, so he let people in.

Lin Xiyang wanted to say something more, but was pushed back by the visitor.

"I said who was so enthusiastic, it turned out to be you, brother-in-law..."

"Shaoqi!" Qiu Zhengqi signaled him to shut up.

Lin Xiyang recognized that the man who came in was Qiu Shaoqi, the youngest son of Qiu Zhengqi. He always likes to steal other people's girlfriends, so his reputation is not very good.

Qiu Shaoqi got her father's order, so she didn't continue talking, she shrugged innocently, and he passed by Lin Xiyang's side and whispered: "Forget it, my brother-in-law didn't want you, so you can go find a little man instead, it's not bad in itself, It’s just a bit of bad luck... I advise you to think about how to get out of the company instead of complaining here when you have time!”

Hearing his words, Lin Xiyang had a bad feeling. After a pause, he ran out directly. When he arrived at the door of the company, it was obviously too late, and no one knew who disclosed the news. The crowd was tight, they kept saying they wanted to wait for Lin to come out, and the reporter even found "acquaintances" in the company to inquire about the news, not only about the marriage of the two men, but also about his life experience!

"We received an anonymous message saying that Lin's previous background was all fabricated, and that he himself was just an illegitimate child. Is this true?"

"I also received a call from my uncle who claimed to be Lin, saying that he broke up with his family to enter the entertainment industry. Is it true?"

"I heard that the wedding that broke out before was a hype for Lin's upcoming new work..."

"Before there was Lin's promotion for releasing a new song again, why has there been no news recently? Is it also related to the wedding?"

"The other man in the wedding is said to be a male publicist, is it the company's default?"

A series of questions were directed at Lin Xiyang, but the company representative who went to stop the reporters from pouring in only replied: "The cooperation between Lin and our company ends here. If you have any questions, please ask me."

This answer caused another round of bombardment. Someone broke the news and someone returned the interview, the reason for the termination of the contract, the relationship with the marriage, etc. Lin Xiyang stood on the other side and heard those voices dizzily, and he felt dizzy again. I feel like I did it before, the moment when I learned that Shao Shiting betrayed me...

"Ah! Lin is there!"

I don't know which reporter has sharp eyes, but actually saw Lin Xiyang standing there. Almost instantly, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

The strange eyes made Lin Xiyang terrified, as if the previous suffocation scene was going to be replayed again, his breathing became short of breath, his tinnitus continued, and his palms broke out in cold sweat.But seeing the reporters over there trying to rush towards him one after another, he was afraid, took a few steps back, and instinctively ran behind.

Seeing that the person involved fled, the reporters' curiosity was aroused again, and all guesses were rolled out, regardless of whether he had it or not. Lin Xiyang was brought to the forefront again!

He couldn't explain his sense of fear. Lin Xiyang blindly ran and hid according to his instinct. When he stopped to rest, he realized that he had fled to a theater in the Huisheng company building. This theater is not big. It's not gorgeous, but Lin Xiyang was impressed by this place - this is the place where he participated in the interview on the first day he joined the company.

It's been almost nine years, but this place is still the same, as if nothing has changed.

Lin Xiyang walked slowly towards the stage, and finally sat down on the first row of benches closest to the stage. He leaned on the chair and watched the stage silently. That was once his dream and hope.

The small place evokes memories of the past, not to commemorate anything specially, but to feel the vicissitudes of life, and there is always a sense of loneliness. Looking back on the past, Lin Xiyang couldn't help laughing, it was a mockery of himself.

He is already 30 years old, but he always acts like a child when dealing with feelings, fierce, paranoid, and even reckless, pitifully naive, and pathetic ignorance.

The two confrontations with the company, the first time to defend his love, and the second time to protect his marriage, may be really ridiculous in the eyes of ordinary people, but he has no hesitation.

The first time ended in failure, but the second time... still failed, Lin Xiyang was afraid, he was afraid that he would fail again, he was afraid of seeing the disappointed eyes of Fan Weichen and Xiaomaomao, he couldn't bear it.

The amount of liquidated damages is not small, almost all the properties that Fan Weichen gave him in the passbook were taken away. If they were given out, the family would have no savings and life would be full of difficulties. It was his painstaking effort to be confiscated, and he didn't want to hand it over to others!

After thinking about it, Lin Xiyang was so confused that he didn't know what to do. In desperation, he unknowingly took out his mobile phone and pressed the most familiar number. When he came back to his senses, the phone was gone dialed out.

Lin Xiyang wanted to cancel in a panic, but as soon as his finger touched the button, a ruffian and unscrupulous voice came from over there: "Hello, dear, did you miss me?" 』

At the beginning, there were such unbearable words, but Lin Xiyang couldn't get angry. Instead, his heart warmed up, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became softer. He answered the phone habitually: "Smug!"

That Fang laughed a few times shamelessly, and then asked: "Is the matter over?"Want me to pick you up? 』

"...No, there are some more." Lin Xiyang paused and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm video chatting with my dad, and he's showing me the venue of Kitten's birthday party. Fan Weichen replied to the computer, "It's a pity that you are not here, the old man really went all out this time!" 』

His playful tone made Lin Xiyang laugh softly. Although he couldn't see it, he could guess that Father Fan must have spent a lot of money to organize his little grandson's birthday.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiyang took a deep breath, hesitated for a while and asked, "Achen, aren't you worried?"

"worry about what? 』

"I'm very similar to Kitten, but he's your son in name, on his birthday... aren't you afraid it will be embarrassing?"

This is what Lin Xiyang has always kept in his heart. He didn't have the courage to ask it before, but now he wants an answer.

I thought Fan Weichen would think it over before he said it, but he didn't expect that as soon as the words fell, there was an answer over there, "What, the little cat is indeed your son, what's so embarrassing... Others wondered that it was their business , I don't care that much. 』

Fan Weichen has always had his own way of personality, he does not stick to small details, as long as he lives happily, he doesn't care what others say, so he can generously announce to others that he is married to a man, and he will not deliberately hide the origin of the child, believe it. Well, if you don't believe it, pull it down!

The straightforward answer was like a heavy hammer, breaking the stone in Lin Xiyang's heart at once, and everything seemed to be clear at this moment.

Lin Xiyang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. How could he have forgotten it? The little man in the family has always been open-minded. Even when he broke his hand and was on the verge of mental breakdown, he could swear that he would support him for the rest of his life...

"That's right." Lin Xiyang took a deep breath, "I was thinking too much."

"That's right, I said before that you are too annoying to think too much. Fan Weichen continued, "Don't worry about those things, just do what you want, I support you!" 』

At such a time, such words are particularly touching, Lin Xiyang smiled and said: "Okay, I see...some things need to be dealt with, send my regards to Dad."

"OK, dear! After finishing speaking, Fan Weichen gave a farewell to the phone.

Lin Xiyang felt very warm in his heart, and said directly, "Achen... I love you."

Fan Weichen over there felt something was wrong when he heard the words, how could the usual Lin Xiyang say such provocative words, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he could only reply: "I love you too, my dear." 』

"goodbye."

"Ok, bye! 』

Closing the phone, Lin Xiyang took a few deep breaths, and put his hand on his face to caress. During the call just now, he had already decided to give "Hide and Seek" to the company. As for the liquidated damages...it was the family's savings. He can't use it without authorization, and now he has to think carefully about how to deal with those reporters and media in the future. They can report his affairs, no matter how ugly they are, but he doesn't want to affect his family, he wants to protect them!

◇

Just as Fan Weichen hung up the phone, he always felt that Lin Xiyang's tone was a bit weird. He was staring at the phone inexplicably, and Fan's father on the other end of the computer became impatient.

"What's wrong?Daughter-in-law in trouble? 』

Fan Weichen picked up the microphone and replied, "I don't know, I think he's weird."

"Is someone chasing his wife? Father Fan boldly guessed, "My daughter-in-law looks good, maybe she will meet someone better than you..."

"Bah, bah, dad, stop cursing me!" Fan Weichen rolled his eyes at the computer screen, "Speaking of business, I'm going to talk straight to my dear."

"Yo, the brat can't make it through? 』Papa Fan gloated at his son.

"Let's see who did it!" Fan Weichen glared at his father on the other side of the computer, "You're planning my son's birthday like this because you want me to confess!"

"Don't you want to "come out" at the banquet, don't blame me. 』Fan's father made sarcastic remarks.

Fan Weichen wanted to refute something, but the phone rang again suddenly. After looking at the call, he took Father Fan aside again, and immediately answered the phone.

"Hey, Miss Fan, what's up..."

"Fan Weichen, something is wrong. 』

Li Fan brought the artists she was in charge back to the company before. Seeing so many reporters at the door, and the guards in the company were all looking for Lin Xiyang, she knew that something was wrong, so she immediately found a quiet place to call. Fan Weichen was notified by phone.

I didn't go into details, but told Fan Weichen about Lin Xiyang's falling out with the company again and the embarrassing situation, "...I can't find Lin now, and I can't get through to his cell phone. I'm afraid of him..."

"Sister Fan, don't panic, I'll come right now, I hope nothing will happen." After finishing speaking, Fan Weichen disconnected the phone, then immediately got up and went to the closet to take out the shirts, suits and ties that he never wears on weekdays.

Father Fan saw it clearly from the computer, and couldn't help asking, "Ah Chen, what happened?"Are you actually willing to "return to the old business"? 』

Fan Weichen put on a tie and replied, "Dad, something happened to your daughter-in-law, so please lend me your old name!"

"Unfilial son, what is borrowing! Father Fan was upset, "You have always been my son!" 』

"Yes, yes, I'm unfilial, please make a phone call and let me know that I'm going to Huisheng Company to pick up my wife." Fan Weichen said without stopping.

Fan's father dialed the phone in his hand, and looked at his son who was combing in front of the computer. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It is true that Buddha depends on gold clothes, and people depend on clothes. His son is also a genius in "pretending".
