Putting aside the matter of signing the contract, Wen Yanyu did not refuse, and Xue Xun did not mention it again.

In a few days of free time, Wen Yanyu went to the library to borrow books related to the later Tang Dynasty and the early Song Dynasty. It has almost become a habit to do this kind of preparation, even though sometimes it is not necessary.

It was a week later that I received the notification from Lianjing. I thought it was a notification of another audition, but I didn't expect it to be a formal notification.

Surprised, Wen Yanyu called to inquire and got an accurate answer. He still couldn't believe it for a while. He didn't think that he could really win this role.

Only after meeting Lian Lao did he realize that it was more or less related to his father.

Although his father has a bad reputation, his genius and expressive ability cannot be denied.When he passed away, although there were a lot of ridicule and sarcasm, there were also people who regretted it.

When handing Wen Yanyu the script, Lian Lao patted him on the shoulder, but his eyes seemed to have passed him.

"...It can't be said that the case is finalized. You don't have to worry too much. If you don't perform well, I will replace you. This opportunity can be regarded as my regret for not being able to cooperate with your father. Your father's character, It's enviable and enviable..."

Wen Yanyu's mood is a bit complicated. How many times have he run into a wall because of his father's affairs, as if the word "Wen Yue" is something unclean, he never thought that there would be such a day...

After a grand press conference, "Emperor and Minister" entered the stage of preparation for shooting.

The design of characters, the negotiation of shooting locations, the availability of sponsorship funds, and the progress of shooting all need to be coordinated.

In the spare time, Wen Yanyu began to study the script.

Li Yu is regarded as the protagonist in "The King and His Ministers". There are many and long lines, and emotional changes need to be paid attention to. After all, the shooting is not in order. Li Yu's image and mentality have undergone great changes in the early and late stages. Wen Yanyu must let Adapt yourself.

After reading the script for a few days, it was really hard work, so Wen Yanyu gave himself a day off.

I went to the bank to withdraw the deposit and found that part of the film remuneration had already been recorded in the account. With the balance left over from last time, I would not have to worry about living problems for at least half a year, and probably would not be so downcast that I needed to worry about rent.

Counting that it has been less than three months since the last time I took "Lost", it seems that it has been a long time since I have had such a dense film, maybe it has something to do with Xue Xun's words.

The frivolity is gone, and I don't know if the ideal is still there.

It's ridiculous to say that Xue Xun already has what he wants, but it's that person who persuades him not to give up.

Although it is not jealous, he is still somewhat envious. Standing in the spotlight without any timidity, supported by thousands of movie fans, without any worries to worry about, how could Xue Xun understand his situation.

Withdraw the money and go to the store to purchase.Although it is a hypermarket that has always had a good business, because it is not a weekend, there are not many people. Wen Yanyu hesitated a little when he went to the pet counter after replenishing his daily necessities and carrying a bag of rice.

While hesitating, he saw someone squatting on the ground staring at the cat food in a daze.

"Lu...yuan?"

"Yanyu! It's you?" Lu Yuan sprang up from the ground, immediately showed a happy smile, stepped forward and put his arms around Wen Yanyu's shoulders, "Yanyu, you came just in time! My family is about to give you those few The cat is fuming to death!"

"what?"

"Walk, go, go to my place at night and pick up a few back to raise, please!"

Lu Yuan quickly copied the cat food on the side with one hand and threw it into the shopping cart, and dragged Wen Yanyu to the checkout counter with the other hand.

"Also, I happened to prepare hot pot ingredients. I just called Ah Xun, and I was afraid that I would not finish it. You should go to my house to eat hot pot at night."

"I……"

"...After filming "Lost", I have been itching. I know you have accepted "Emperor and Minister", but my book will probably come out in a few months. Are you interested..."

Being dragged to check out, Lu Yuan dragged Wen Yanyu into the car without saying a word.

Wen Yanyu wanted to refuse, but it seemed that he hadn't seen Ah Hui for a long time.

Lu Yuan drove and arrived at his apartment very quickly.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a palm-sized kitten lying in slippers, with round black eyes wide open, one ear drooping on the face, and its limbs crossed and shrunk into small white balls.

Wen Yanyu was stunned, squatting down and poking the little white ball with his fingers, the kitten meowed lowly, scratching its fur with its little paws, Wen Yanyu picked up the kitten almost involuntarily.

Just as he stuffed all the ingredients he had brought into the refrigerator, Lu Yuan turned his head slightly, and immediately shouted: "Yes! It's this cat that gets into my slippers every day. No matter how I correct it, I can't correct it! And..." He said One pass to rummage through.

Only then did Wen Yanyu raise his head and noticed the mess in front of him.

After a while, Lu Yuan dragged out a small white cat from the pile of old clothes, from the drawer, and from under the sofa, and then threw them into the crib at the foot of the master bed.

Two big cats snoozing in the crib let out a few grumbles of dissatisfaction, and hugged their child tightly.

Wen Yanyu raised his forehead, this room is really messy.

Gently putting the kitten back to his parents, Wen Yanyu rolled up his sleeves and picked up all the garbage in the room and threw them into the trash can, and then put the things that should be put back where they should be.

Lu Yuan rubbed his nose, grabbed Wen Yanyu's job with embarrassment, and pushed him away.

"No need, I'll do all these things, that...you go to the living room to watch TV, soon..."

As he spoke, he stuffed things directly into the trash can.

Wen Yanyu looked at the flustered Lu Yuan amusedly, and retreated to the living room.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Wen Yanyu opened the door. Not surprisingly, it was Xue Xun in casual clothes.

Seeing Wen Yanyu on the first day of junior high school, Xue Xun was a little surprised, but soon turned into a usual smile.

The last time the two met was when they went to Wen Yanyu's house to take pictures of cats, which was a rare and pleasant scene. Although there was a dispute on the phone later, they were not face to face.

Lu Yuan struggled back from the room, washed his hands quickly, crawled over and hooked Xue Xun into the kitchen.

A few minutes later, Lu Yuan came out of the kitchen and greeted Wen Yanyu to watch TV with a smile on his face.

The sound of chopping vegetables came from the kitchen.

Wen Yanyu asked in surprise, "Don't you eat hot pot?"

Before Lu Yuan could answer, Xue Xun in the kitchen had already answered, with a very dissatisfied tone: "Second Young Master Lu only knows how to cook instant noodles all his life, and he likes to order takeaway all the year round, but he doesn't know how to handle any ingredients."

"Hey, who said, didn't you drive me out?"

"If you were in the kitchen, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to eat tonight."

The conversation was natural and brisk, without the usual perfunctory and politeness in the entertainment industry, which seemed to be taken for granted.

This is... friendship?

Lu Yuan turned on the TV, leaned on the sofa with his arms crossed and supported the back of his head, laughed and said, "Yanyu, don't worry, although Ah Xun doesn't often go to the kitchen, he is still much better at chopping vegetables than me."

Wen Yanyu smiled, glanced at the kitchen, and went back to the master bedroom.

Lu Yuan probably bought a crib specially, and the family of eight slept in it just right, full of warm feeling.

Ah Hui and Ah Hua were lying on the side of the crib, while a few kittens on the other side struggled to climb out, their blunt claws slid down the small bedpost again and again, but they were still tireless.

Wen Yanyu gently reached out and stroked Ah Hui's hair, as if feeling his master, Ah Hui raised his eyes, shook his beard, wagged his tail twice, and came over to lick Wen Yanyu's hand, his fat body was still Lazy look.

I remember that when I first raised Ah Hui, it was also a kitten the size of a palm, lively and active, and liked to climb around. It seemed that because I stayed by my side for a long time, it also acquired my lazy habit of not seeking to make progress.

How long has it been?

Allowing myself to be lazy, killing my lack of popularity, watching myself gradually disappear from the screen, from not daring to go out on the street before, to now I will not be recognized even if I go on the street.

After returning from the master bedroom, there was an induction cooker on the table, and the aroma of the hot pot soup filled the room.

Lu Yuan was still sitting in front of the TV watching the replay of the football game intently.

Wen Yanyu stood in the living room and hesitated for a while, then walked to the kitchen door.

There are seven or eight plates on the kitchen table, containing all kinds of raw food.Xue Xun stood aside, wearing a blue and white plaid apron, skillfully cutting freshly peeled potatoes with his artist-like slender and beautiful hands on the table.

Under Xue Xun's focused expression, there was an indescribable taste in that almost perfect profile.

Without a trace of airs that a superstar should have, at this moment he looks like...

The cut potato slices were stacked with the back of a knife and placed on a side plate. Xue Xun turned his head to the side, slightly raised his beautifully curved jaw, and showed a gentle smile.

"what's up?"

Only then did Wen Yanyu remember to ask, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Would it be too dishonest to say now, I'm already done."

Wen Yanyu was slightly embarrassed.

Xue Xun had already put down the knife, stretched his waist and said with a smile, "For now, just help me take these things out."

Nodding his head, Wen Yanyu took the plate from Xue Xun, only to find that the potato slices on the plate were sliced ​​thinly and evenly, and were of the same size. He might not be able to cut them like this by himself. horizontal.

Seemingly noticing Wen Yanyu's expression, Xue Xun also picked up two plates and explained as he walked, "I used to work in a restaurant for a period of time when I was training abroad, but it's a bit rusty if I haven't cut it for too long."

"very good already."

Xue Xun lowered his head slightly, brushing away his messy hair: "Then it's probably really good."

Wen Yanyu didn't reply, but he didn't have the strong sense of repulsion towards Xue Xun's words like before.
