After the Stand-in Shou Faked His Death

A group of people left the venue noisily, preparing to go to a nearby barbecue restaurant for supper.

There was a small garden outside the venue. Xu Chengyan was walking behind. When he casually raised his head, he glanced casually, and suddenly noticed a figure in the garden.

Xu Chengyan was stunned for a moment, staring at the back for a few seconds, and after realizing it, he said to Su Tang: "Susu, you go over first, I have something to do, go over later."

"Okay." Su Tang nodded, turned around and left first.

Xu Chengyan also walked towards the garden, getting closer and closer to that figure.

In the garden, the man stood alone under the street lamp, with a scarlet glow on his fingertips, and he didn't notice anyone approaching.

Xu Chengyan looked at the man's back, and softly called: "He Yang."

He Yang heard the voice, subconsciously looked down at the cigarette in his hand.

After extinguishing the cigarette butt, He Yang turned around.

Xu Chengyan also came to He Yang's side, and smiled, "I didn't see you inside just now, so I thought you were gone."

"Come out to get some air." He Yang's tone was very flat, and he asked casually, "Going back?"

Xu Chengyan replied: "Have supper with my friends."

He Yang nodded, but didn't speak anymore.

Xu Chengyan hesitated for a while, but still said: "Friday morning, I have time,"

"Um?"

"Would you like to have a meal together?" Xu Chengyan raised his head and met He Yang's gaze.

At this moment, He Yang's back was facing the street lamp, half of his face was still hidden in the darkness, no emotion could be seen on his face, and he was silent.

After a long time, He Yang finally had a reaction and asked aloud, "What time?"

"I'm going to work at one o'clock in the afternoon." Xu Chengyan said, "It's fine before one o'clock, depending on when is convenient for you."

He Yang was quiet for a few seconds, and said: "Then eight o'clock in the morning? I'll take you to the company after one o'clock."

After Xu Chengyan heard it, he couldn't help laughing, and asked, "Will it take five hours to eat?"

He Yang didn't speak, his dark eyes were dim, and he just quietly watched the young man in front of him.

"Then eight o'clock." Xu Chengyan responded, "Meet in the blue cafe?"

He Yang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pick you up."

"No need." Xu Chengyan smiled, "It's not far away, I'll just go there."

"Um."

"I'm going to eat supper first." Xu Chengyan walked a few steps to the side, with a smile on his face: "See you that Friday?"

"See you this Friday."

After leaving, Xu Chengyan went to the barbecue restaurant and entered the box.

A group of people ate a supper noisily, and played until the early morning.

Xu Chengyan also drank some wine, slightly drunk, dizzy, and was helped by his assistant to get into the car.

The assistant sent Xu Chengyan back to the apartment and poured a cup of hot water over.

Xu Chengyan leaned on the sofa, drank some hot water, and relaxed a little.

The assistant smelled the smell of alcohol in the air, and couldn't help but said, "Brother Zhou, why are you still drinking so much..."

"Just a few drinks." Xu Chengyan was still a little lazy, checking Weibo with his mobile phone.

The assistant urged: "Brother Zhou, go take a shower and go to bed early."

"No hurry." Xu Chengyan didn't feel sleepy at all, instead he was very energetic and continued to browse Weibo.

"Brother Zhou, you have to get up early tomorrow." The assistant sighed softly, "It's already 02:30 now."

"It's okay." Xu Chengyan still didn't panic.

But the assistant kept urging her, so Xu Chengyan had no choice but to put down his phone and go to the bathroom to take a shower.

By the time everything was done, it was already three o'clock.

Xu Chengyan fell asleep, and was woken up by the alarm clock at eight o'clock the next morning.

Although he won the best actor, but the work still has to continue.

Xu Chengyan got up to wash up and went to the company first.

Everything is still the same as usual, there are endless endorsements and photo shoots, and a lot of interview appointments.

The manager found Xu Chengyan with the new itinerary, and said, "Your new itinerary has been slightly changed, and you have a few interviews."

Xu Chengyan took it and flipped through it, and saw the densely packed schedule at a glance.

Xu Chengyan glanced at it, and when he saw this Friday's itinerary, he frowned and said, "Brother Fan, I don't have time on Friday morning, so I'm going out for dinner with my friends."

Originally, he had no schedule on Friday morning, but now there is an extra interview on the schedule.

The manager replied: "Go eat after the interview, there is still time."

The manager didn't care too much, after all, it didn't take long to have a meal, and there was still time for an interview in the morning.

But Xu Chengyan still frowned, and asked again: "Can it be changed to another time? Thursday or Saturday?"

"Okay, I'll ask over there." The manager responded.

Xu Chengyan went to the studio to shoot the interior first, while the manager waited outside and contacted the reporter to change the time.

After Xu Chengyan finished filming, the agent came over and said, "I'll change it to Saturday for you."

"Okay, Brother Fan." Xu Chengyan nodded.

"I'll send you the process later, and I'll take a look at it when I get back."

"Row."

Xu Chengyan nodded and continued to work.

Soon, it will be Thursday.

On Thursday, I will shoot an endorsement, and at night I will also shoot night scenes.

However, this night scene was shot many times, and by the time the team finished work, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

After filming for a whole day, Xu Chengyan was already exhausted. After returning to the nanny's car, he leaned back in the chair and fell asleep.

It wasn't until the car stopped that the assistant at the side came over to wake him up.

Xu Chengyan returned to the apartment, and his assistant also came in, saying, "Brother Zhou, go and rest."

The assistant sighed: "Fortunately, I don't have work tomorrow morning, Brother Zhou, you can have a good sleep."

Xu Chengyan replied in a daze, and went back to the bedroom.

Enduring sleepiness, Xu Chengyan took off his make-up and took a shower, lying on the bed, his eyelids getting heavier and heavier.

But before going to bed, Xu Chengyan suddenly remembered the appointment with He Yang on Friday, so he pulled himself together, took his mobile phone and set an alarm clock, and then fell asleep.

So at 06:30 in the morning, the alarm clock rang on time.

Xu Chengyan was so sleepy that he got up and went to wash up first.

By the time I finished washing, it was just before seven o'clock, and there was still an hour before the appointed time.

Xu Chengyan sat on the bed a little bored, sent another message to He Yang, and confirmed the time and place.

Soon, He Yang also replied.

Xu Chengyan looked at the time, originally planned to wait until 07:30 before going out, but after thinking about it, he decided to go there earlier.

Xu Chengyan got up, put on his hat and prepared to go out.

And when Xu Chengyan came out of the bedroom, he saw that the assistant was still in the living room.

The assistant didn't sleep all night, and was sitting in front of the notebook, busy retouching Xu Chengyan's picture.

When the assistant saw Xu Chengyan come out, he was a little surprised and said, "Brother Zhou, you got up so early? Didn't you go to sleep?"

Seeing that Xu Chengyan was still wearing a hat, he looked like he was going out, so the assistant asked, "Are you going out?"

"Well, I have something to do, I'll go out for a while." Xu Chengyan responded and walked towards the entrance.

"Brother Zhou, you only slept for a few hours." The assistant poked his head and said, "Don't you want to take a break?"

"No need." Xu Chengyan put on a mask, and said to the assistant, "You also go to bed earlier."

"I'll go to sleep after finishing the repairs." The assistant yawned, and then continued to edit the picture, "Anyway, it's Xiaoyue's shift change today."

Xu Chengyan went out and walked towards the coffee shop.

Meanwhile, in the apartment on the other side.

He Yang has already changed his clothes and sat in the car.

He Yang glanced at the time, there is enough time now, and he can reach the cafe before 07:30.

He Yang leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and rested.

According to the usual experience, the driver avoided the rush hour roads that are prone to traffic jams in the morning, and took a long detour to save time.

Only this time, there were some minor accidents on the road.

At the beginning, there was only a small traffic jam on the road, but when we got to the back, the speed of the car was getting slower and slower, and the traffic jam line was getting longer and longer, and there was no end in sight.

The driver hesitated for a moment, but turned around and said to the man in the back seat, "Mr. He, there is a traffic jam ahead."

"Traffic jam?" He Yang opened his eyes and looked outside.

At this time, the road was already full of cars.

He Yang frowned slightly, and looked at the time, it was already 07:30.

The driver said: "There seems to be a car accident ahead, and it's too late to change the road now..."

He Yang frowned even tighter, he could only keep it as it was, and then called Xu Chengyan.

"Feast."

"Um?"

He Yang said: "I may be a little late, there is a traffic jam on the road."

Xu Chengyan replied: "It's okay, there's no rush."

He Yang asked: "Have you arrived yet?"

"It's almost there..." Xu Chengyan's attitude was rather vague, and he didn't answer directly.

He Yang thought that the other party hadn't gone out yet, so he said, "You can go out later."

"good."

At this time, Xu Chengyan was already sitting in the coffee shop.

It was still very early, only 07:30, and there were no customers in the cafe, and it was a little deserted.

Xu Chengyan held the cup and drank slowly.

Ten minutes later, Xu Chengyan received a message from He Yang, which was a positioning.

After another 10 minutes, He Yang's second positioning message came.

And this position is still in place, and has not been moved much.

Xu Chengyan drank his coffee and continued to wait boredly.

With the last 5 minutes before eight o'clock, He Yang called.

"I'm still on my way." He Yang rubbed the space between his brows, "I'm not sure when I'll be there."

Xu Chengyan: "No rush."

"Feel sorry."

"It's okay." Xu Chengyan smiled, "I have time in the morning."

He Yang asked: "Have you arrived yet?"

Xu Chengyan looked at the number plate on the table, and replied, "Not long after I arrived, I'm at table number nine."

"Okay, I should be here soon."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chengyan continued to stay in his seat, drinking coffee and playing with his mobile phone.

But until 08:30, He Yang still didn't come and got stuck on the road.

Just then, the manager's call came.

The agent said: "You come to the company to shoot a new set of covers now, and you have to hand it in today."

Xu Chengyan asked: "What's wrong?"

"There was something wrong with the previous shoot..." The agent couldn't explain clearly on the phone for a while, and quickly said: "You come to the company first, the sooner the better."

The manager hastily explained a few words on the phone, urging Xu Chengyan to come to the company to work overtime.

Xu Chengyan had no choice but to get up, ready to go to the company to reshoot the cover.

Xu Chengyan got up, called He Yang again, and asked, "He Yang, are you still on the way?"

He Yang: "I'm almost there."

Xu Chengyan looked out the window, looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the road outside, and said to He Yang: "Why don't you forget about it today, I have something to do and I have to go."

There was a sudden silence on the phone, and He Yang didn't make a sound.

Xu Chengyan explained: "It's about work, I'm going to the studio now, I don't have time in the morning."

He Yang still didn't speak.

After a long time, He Yang replied: "Okay."

Xu Chengyan hung up the phone, left the coffee shop, and walked towards the company.

The cafe was still deserted.

But within a few minutes, the door of the cafe opened and a new customer came in.

A man in a black windbreaker stood at the door with an indifferent expression on his face.

Not far away, two waiters were whispering.

"Clean up table number nine."

"Table nine is gone? Isn't it waiting for someone?"

"Let's go." The man sighed, "I've been waiting for more than an hour, and I haven't come yet, maybe I won't wait..."

After leaving the coffee shop, He Yang went directly to Yuan Lie and asked about Xu Chengyan's itinerary.

When He Yang came to the studio, Xu Chengyan was sitting on the sofa, and there was a make-up artist next to him.

Xu Chengyan closed his eyes, opened them after putting on makeup, and when he scanned the surroundings, he immediately noticed He Yang at the door.

He Yang came over and said in a low voice, "Sorry, there's a little traffic jam on the road."

Xu Chengyan was still a little surprised, and replied: "It's okay."

He Yang asked: "Waiting for a long time?"

Xu Chengyan smiled, and just said: "Not long."

"Sorry." He Yang lowered his eyes and asked, "Is there still time for dinner today?"

"I probably don't have time today." Xu Chengyan shook his head, "It will take a long time to shoot."

He also received a temporary notice from his agent and came to the company to make up the cover shoot temporarily, not sure how long it would take.

It can only be said that the two of them are not very lucky today——

One was stuck in traffic on the road, and the other was working overtime temporarily.

He Yang: "Do you have time tomorrow?"

"No time either."

"the day after tomorrow?"

Xu Chengyan just smiled and didn't answer.

He Yang asked: "When do you have time?"

"Not sure." Xu Chengyan took a pair of gloves from the staff and put them on.

"Five hours, you promised."

Xu Chengyan straightened his gloves, and said unhurriedly: "But you are late today."

He Yang was late.

The appointed time was eight o'clock, but when he waited until 08:30, He Yang didn't come.

Whatever the reason, being late is late.

He Yang: "I won't be late next time."

"Let's talk about it next time." Xu Chengyan smiled politely, adjusted his gloves, and prepared to go to shoot the interior first.

But halfway through, Xu Chengyan suddenly realized that what he said just now seemed a bit perfunctory, so he turned his head and looked.

He Yang was still standing where he was, without leaving.

Xu Chengyan took out his mobile phone to check the itinerary, came to He Yang, and said, "Next Saturday."

"Next Saturday night, I have time."
