Sunshine came in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and a ray of light happened to fall on "Jiao"'s finger bones. Jiang Sui looked at it for a while, then realized that Qiu Xingfeng was talking nonsense, and tasted the meaning of this joke again. warn.

"My fault." Jiang Sui said, "I will say hello before I come back."

"You should ring the doorbell." Qiu Xingfeng said calmly, bypassing Jiang Sui by the way, and pulled up the collar of Lu Xiumu's jacket to cover his collarbone.

Jiang Sui almost laughed angrily when he saw this set of smooth and flowing movements.

"No..." Jiang Sui justified himself, "I'm not a hooligan."

Qiu Xingfeng retorted straightforwardly: "But I don't want you to see my Omega right now."

Listen, is this what people say?

Jiang Sui glanced at Lu Xiumu subconsciously, hoping that the other party would help him "teach" Qiu Xingfeng, but Lu Xiumu sat quietly on one side, aggravating and conniving at Alpha's unreasonable temper.

While Qiu Xingfeng went back to the house to get his coat, Jiang Sui whispered, "Xiu Mu, are you too used to him?"

"No." Lu Xiumu really didn't feel that Qiu Xingfeng's behavior caused him any trouble, and even helped him speak up, "Isn't Alpha like that, Teacher Qiu is already very good."

Jiang Sui didn't quite know what the standard of "good" in his definition was, but he just felt that there was no bottom line for this standard.The heart said yes, one of you is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and you will mix up what you want.

He calmed down and regarded himself as a machine for reporting work without emotion: "Public opinion has generally stabilized. Although there are red Vs coming out to stand in line, after all, they didn't say it clearly. There are still many black fans who are leading the rhythm. I haven't talked to Gao Please contact me, but I suggest you keep a low profile recently, let go of activities and endorsements, and treat yourself as a vacation. Let's not mention this matter again—"

He patted Lu Xiumu's shoulder reassuringly: "You also know that there are many things in this circle where there is no absolute right or wrong, and most of them are dealt with coldly..."

"Don't worry, I understand." Lu Xiumu said, "The current result has exceeded my expectations."

Jiang Sui stared at him for a while, and seeing that he was in a good mood, he dared to continue: "Your career may be affected, and there is a high probability that there will be no good scripts handed over in the near future. I still say that, just treat it as a vacation gone."

Lu Xiumu was quiet for a few seconds, then nodded with a smile.

Just as Jiang Sui expected, Lu Xiumu was almost unemployed in the second half of the year, which was a big blow to rising actors.

But this is not a new experience for Lu Xiumu, and the culprit who caused this situation last time is now by his side all the time, probably because of a change in mentality, Lu Xiumu actually feels that this time "starting over" will Much simpler.

At the end of the year, Qiu Xingfeng pushed the script handed to him into Lu Xiumu's hands.At that time, he rejected the director's invitation on the grounds that he couldn't afford to miss the time, and then seemed to inadvertently recommend Mr. Lu.

This director had worked with Lu Xiumu once, and if he ignored the "black material" on the other party, his No. 1 choice was indeed not Qiu Xingfeng. He was a little embarrassed and talked about the scene haha.

"You may have misunderstood me." Qiu Xingfeng said, "I'm not helping Mr. Lu to 'come back', but I'm helping you. That incident has been in the past for a long time, and there are not many people who say 'black material' It is on the lips, whether there is this drama or not, Mr. Lu will return to work."

The director obviously didn't believe it, but saved enough face: "Then Xiu Mu must be very busy recently, and I probably won't be able to cooperate with him."

Qiu Xingfeng laughed inexplicably, and said in a firm tone, "It's a pity that you have no chance to cooperate with the future actor."

The director was stunned, he didn't know for a while whether he was referring to himself or Lu Xiumu when he said "the film king".

I only heard Qiu Xingfeng say again: "You know our relationship, usually Mr. Lu will help me in the play, no kidding, since he 'successfully stole the teacher' from me, I can hardly hold him down play."

The director said "true or fake" stuck in his throat, and finally swallowed it.If the person in front of him was not Qiu Xingfeng, he would think that this sentence was just an excuse, but everyone in the circle knew that Qiu Xingfeng would never make fun of acting skills.

"Xiu Mu..." The director was stunned, "He has gone to study for the past six months..."

"He has always had this potential, otherwise why do you think he can be the second male lead of "The Wedding Banquet"?" Qiu Xingfeng said, "By the way, I will buy you another favor. Zhao Yang's new script was written for him."

As soon as these words came out, the director fully understood that the era that belonged to Lu Xiumu was about to make a comeback: "This... this..."

He half-opened his mouth and said a bunch of modal particles, and then hooked Qiu Xingfeng's shoulder as if he suddenly realized: "Xingfeng, it's interesting!"

"You don't need to get close to me." Qiu Xingfeng smiled, "This script is good, it suits him quite well, and I still have selfish intentions—"

The director thought that this was coming, and I knew there was no such thing as a free lunch.

"I want to join the group together." Qiu Xingfeng spit out a few words lightly.

"What?"

"I want to spend more time with my boyfriend, no problem." Qiu Xingfeng said.

director:"……"

It's really not a big deal, but do you still remember that a few minutes ago, you rejected me because you didn't have time.

No matter how the director complained in his heart, Qiu Xingfeng followed the group as he wished.

A few days later, Gao Xin also went to the production team for the first time, and he started with an awkward opening line: "Xiu Mu, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"I don't want to hear any of them." Lu Xiumu countered the routine.

Gao Xin rolled his eyes at him, and continued on his own: "The good news is that you have been shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Award for "The Wedding Banquet"; the bad news is——"

Qiu Xingfeng answered from the side, "I'm also shortlisted."

Gao Xin was stunned for a while, obviously he just got the news, he said: "I originally wanted to say that the Film Committee thinks that Xiu Mu's scandal has not completely passed, so this year I just let him go through the motions..."

He finally came to his senses halfway through the speech, feeling a little bit like "the old hen protects the calf", and pointed the finger at Qiu Xingfeng accurately: "The film king, what do you mean by this? Do you think my family Xiu Mu can't compare to you?!"

Qiu Xingfeng lightly pinched the back of Lu Xiumu's neck: "Sorry, it belongs to my family."

Gao Xin was not in the mood to argue with him, and to be honest, he didn't have the confidence to challenge Qiu Xingfeng's acting skills, but I could scold my own children, but others couldn't.

"Xiu Mu has grown up long ago—"

Before Gao Xin finished speaking, Qiu Xingfeng said: "Well, if he makes two more movies in the second half of this year, I might not have such confidence."

It was the first time for Lu Xiumu to hear this comment, and he spontaneously regarded this sentence as a love story between lovers: "Although you are teasing me, I am quite willing to listen."

Qiu Xingfeng stared straight at him with calm eyes: "Mr. Lu, didn't you realize that I can't handle your scenes recently?"

Lu Xiumu froze for a moment, then shook his head honestly.

Qiu Xingfeng couldn't help laughing seeing him in such a daze: "You really should listen to the director's evaluation of you more. The emotional scene between you and the heroine almost made the little girl cry. "

"..." Lu Xiumu rolled his eyelids lightly. In fact, he had a lot to say, and each sentence was full of uncertainty and joy. After receiving Qiu Xingfeng's affirmative gaze, he swallowed it back.

Ever since he "stealed" the "cheat book" to replace emotions from Qiu Xingfeng, he realized it later. Maybe Qiu Xingfeng's method didn't work for others, but it was like a magic box switch. Lu Xiumu opened the door to a new world.

He could feel that he was becoming more and more proficient in acting, but he didn't expect, or he never thought, that he would surpass Qiu Xingfeng one day.

Gao Xin also reacted: "So...Xiu Mu is really going to win the actor?!"

"I won't keep you waiting for too long." Qiu Xingfeng sighed after finishing speaking, "Mr. Lu, I'm under a lot of pressure. I feel like I created an enemy with my own hands."

Lu Xiumu moved his lips, not knowing what to say in this situation.

After a brief eye contact, Qiu Xingfeng hooked his neck, touched his lips, and then pushed his chin into the other's neck, the tip of his nose twitched, as if he was smelling Lu Xiumu.

Lu Xiumu turned his head to look, and the soft halo of the chandelier hooked Qiu Xingfeng's side face, dyeing a gentle arc, and the corners that belonged to Qiu Xingfeng's unruliness tended to be smoothed under the light.

It may also be that he took the initiative to restrain the sharpness.

Lu Xiumu heard him say: "But I feel willing to lose to you."

Epilogue to Chapter 55 First of all, I would like to thank all the cuties who have seen this place, and thank you for your company during this time.

A month later, the front of the Strait Grand Theater was full of lights.

It's winter, and the yellowish shadows of autumn are replaced by the cold winter wind and the whiteness of the season. In the early morning, there were a few scattered snowflakes. However, the bad weather did not stop people's love for the film festival.

The gorgeous red carpet and uninterrupted flashing lights cast an extraordinary light on the award stationed in the auditorium.When Lu Xiumu got out of the car, he squinted his eyes unconsciously. He hadn't appeared in the public's sight for a while, but now he found some embarrassment when he first entered the circle, and he rarely felt a little nervous.

Qiu Xingfeng noticed his abnormality, grasped his wrist bone with a broad hand, and rubbed it lightly.

One touch and it's gone.

Lu Xiumu was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, he touched his wrist, where the temperature of Alpha still remained.He felt that the negative emotions were ironed out by this little action, and at the same time he felt that the apex of his heart was pinched.

Lu Xiumu was born for the camera and lights. Even if he has not been in contact with them for a long time, he still firmly believes in this truth. Now, he is just a little flustered.

And Qiu Xingfeng's proper care just filled up that "little bit".

Lu Xiumu felt that they were becoming more and more compatible inadvertently. Perhaps it was true as Qiu Xingfeng said, the bond between them was not in the degree of matching, but in the communication without words.

It wasn't until Chu Mengting held Lu Xiumu's arm that the latter turned his attention to his female companion.

He was shortlisted for "The Wedding Banquet", so he naturally had to walk the red carpet with the crew.Jiang Bing probably wanted the audience to remember all the details of the film, and asked Qiu Xingfeng to accompany the two veteran actors, while Chu Mengting and Lu Xiumu walked together as "siblings".

"Why, you guys still want to show off your affection while walking on the red carpet?" Chu Mengting teased, "Please focus on me."

Lu Xiumu smiled, and pulled up the skirt for her gentlemanly: "My dereliction of duty."

Chu Mengting blinked, and made a tricky expression: "If you tell me the details of your relationship—preferably the details of the bed, I will forgive your mistake."

"You will be disappointed." Lu Xiumu said, "The excitement we have together is far less than the fanfiction you passed on to me."

"Did you read it?" Chu Mengting was a little surprised. She always felt that it was weird for the main character to read her own fanfiction. At least she couldn't stand watching La Lang's clips with her as the protagonist.

"Well, just for fun to pass the time."

Lu Xiumu made a fool of himself, and didn't say anything about the follow-up that he was caught by Qiu Xingfeng while reading the Eighteen Forbidden Wenbao and was almost "played" to death.

"Well, ever since I got acquainted with you, I always feel that the fans written by netizens have a bit of OOC meaning..." Chu Mengting didn't continue, and suddenly gritted her teeth and shivered.

Lu Xiumu glanced at her bare shoulders: "Lend me your coat?"

Chu Mengting looked at Qiu Xingfeng who was walking in front, and said, "Forget it, my brother is too jealous, I can't stand it."

"I didn't tell you to wear mine." Lu Xiumu raised his chin and pointed at Jiang Bing, "Both Director Jiang and Teacher Zhao Yang are here."

After finishing speaking, he added: "I want to put an end to all scandals for Mr. Qiu."

Chu Mengting: "..."

For a moment, she didn't know whether to scream for her CP or sympathize with herself.In the end, she rejected Lu Xiumu's proposal on the grounds that it "does not affect the beauty".

Everyone followed the instructions and signed their names on the signing board. When they were about to leave, they were stopped by the host again: "Mu Mu, Qiu Yingdi, please stay."

The two walked to the interview booth, because of many accidental events, this turned out to be the first time they were in the same frame after Ru Muchunfeng's official announcement, and the reporters in the audience frantically pressed the flashlights.

The host first asked a few professional questions related to "The Wedding Banquet" according to the process, and then changed the voice and asked, "This should be the first time you two are in the same frame, how do you feel?"

"I don't feel anything." Qiu Xingfeng looked at Lu Xiumu, half-jokingly said: "We live under the same roof every day, how can we feel?"

Lu Xiumu had no choice but to give him a "be serious" look.

"Okay, I'll say it again." Qiu Xingfeng deliberately indulged, "It's my honor to be shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Award with Mr. Lu."

His focus was not on being shortlisted, but who he was with, so he purposely addressed Lu Xiumu very slowly, and the host nodded exaggeratedly: "It can be seen that the relationship between the two is very good."

Qiu Xingfeng agreed with his statement, squinted his eyes and licked his back molars, as if he wanted to explain the word "very good" in detail.

Lu Xiumu could understand his thoughts just by watching his small movements, and said first: "It's okay, thank you."

Qiu Xingfeng felt a little unsatisfied, but he could only smile in agreement.

"Then Yingdi Qiu also supports Mu Mu as a volunteer, right?" the host asked again.

Qiu Xingfeng was silent for a moment, and said seriously: "If I only stand in the perspective of Alpha, I can't accept my Omega exchanging pheromones with others, but Mr. Lu is my boyfriend, not just an accessory of some A. , he has independent thoughts and actions, and I will respect all his decisions as a lover."

Lu Xiumu's eyes flickered, and he turned to look at him silently.

In fact, they never discussed this issue candidly, perhaps because Qiu Xingfeng also suffered from a disorder, so Lu Xiumu took it for granted that they would not have differences in this regard.

Only now did Lu Xiumu know that Qiu Xingfeng was just a normal person, and when he dreamed back at midnight, he would have extremely gloomy thoughts—his strong possessive and domineering desires integrated into his body, and wanted him to hide Lu Xiumu.

But he will never do that.

Gender differentiation endows AO with an instinct to attract each other. Writers call this "talent" "love". However, excluding physiological impulses, respect and restraint may better explain the true meaning of these two words.

Lu Xiumu couldn't think of what to say to express his state of mind, and finally thanked him with two simple and straightforward words.He said softly, "Thank you."

Qiu Xingfeng smiled lowly: "Why are you so divided? We don't need to show 'respect like a guest' in front of the camera."

The atmosphere picked up in an instant, and Lu Xiumu's sourness from gratitude also subsided.

"Yes, yes, fans are more willing to watch your show." The host continued to stir up the atmosphere, "Then let me ask for the fans, you two met a few years ago, how did you get together?"

He was talking about the story line that the two made up when they were in business, which is something that the public agrees with at present.

The fans stationed outside screamed, but Lu Xiumu and Qiu Xingfeng fell silent in unison.

Looking at the expressions of the two, the host thought he had said something wrong, and was about to make a joke to correct the "mistake", Qiu Xingfeng raised the microphone: "The situation is a bit complicated, probably because I was chasing him, and he also was chasing me, but we missed it by mistake for years."

"Huh?" The host was dumbfounded.

"When I first met Mr. Lu, I couldn't like him for some reasons, so I subconsciously defined him as an ordinary friend." Qiu Xingfeng explained, "It's also because of this inherent cognition. I didn't want to To get to know him, the conversation is not lukewarm, so we are not together."

"Well, he is really cold, and sometimes he can't say a few words when we meet each other." Lu Xiumu said.

"Recover old accounts?" Qiu Xingfeng raised his eyebrows.

It was rare for Lu Xiumu to take the initiative to turn on the screen for him: "It is to say that you have a strong personality, and you can make me like you without talking much."

Although the host didn't understand what they were talking about, he still smelled a strong smell of dog food: "Then what happened?"

"Later, I got to know more and knew more, so I naturally liked Mr. Lu." Qiu Xingfeng said, "It's just that I thought he liked someone else at that time, so I wasted a lot of time."

The fans in the distance burst into screams in unison: "Two-way crush!"

Qiu Xingfeng smiled, and said to the fans: "Use your imagination, you can't reveal more, this is the exclusive secret of Teacher Lu and me."

This short interview finally came to an end in the high sweetness of sugar. When Qiu Xingfeng and Lu Xiumu walked into the auditorium, the crew of "Wedding Banquet" had already taken their seats.

The organizer was very considerate and arranged the seats of the two together.

Lu Xiumu looked at the name sticker on the back of the chair, and reflexively glanced at Jiang Bing who was not far away.

It happened that Jiang Bing also looked over: "What are you doing? The publicity period is over, and I will no longer be a villain who beats mandarin ducks."

Lu Xiumu smiled awkwardly and sat quietly.

Qiu Xingfeng was quite straightforward: "Look at you scaring our teacher Lu, you have a psychological shadow. Fortunately, you retired early, otherwise all the actors in the entertainment circle would avoid you."

Jiang Bing snorted lightly: "Then if you have the ability, don't rely on me to win the actor."

"I rely on strength, not you." Qiu Xingfeng retorted.

"Hey, keep a low profile." Zhao Yang reminded, "People from other crews are still watching. Those who don't know will think that we have done something shady and must win an award."

"If I'm not the film king this year, then there's something shady." Qiu Xingfeng said calmly.

Zhao Yang was discouraged, and looked at Lu Xiumu to ask him to take care of him. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiumu carefully analyzed the acting skills of the nominated actors this time, and then came to a conclusion: "I also think Teacher Qiu is the best actor."

"I think so too." Chu Mengting actually followed suit, "After tonight, my brother's worth will go up again, and he will be our company's signature three-gold actor."

Zhao Yangxin said that the least self-effacing actors in the entire entertainment industry were recruited into "The Wedding Banquet" by Director Jiang.

As the venue became more and more lively, the much-anticipated 58th Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony finally began.

The hostess in haute couture and the hostess in long evening gowns walked onto the stage with smiles, and the two said their opening remarks against the blazing light: "It's another new year, another Golden Rooster Awards, and this year's film and television awards. There are a lot of flowers blooming in the world, not only "The Age of Red Peak" engraved with history, "Adult Troubles" which describes the social microcosm of urban life, but also the graduation work "Wedding Banquet" directed by Jiang Bing, which was ridiculed by netizens and made a masterpiece of depression... "

Every time the host mentioned a drama, the stage lights moved to the corresponding crew members. With the rapid shift of the lights, Lu Xiumu suddenly felt his throat dry, and his dishonest heart began to beat wildly.

Rationally, he told him to believe in Qiu Xingfeng, it must be fine, but affected by the atmosphere of the scene, he inexplicably felt worried——

just in case……

Thinking of this, he still wanted to emphasize in his heart, just in case, what if Mr. Qiu didn't win the award, he has been delayed for two years due to disorder, can he continue to delay?The prime time of an actor is very short, is there really so much time to be wasted in anticipation and disappointment...

He couldn't help but secretly looked at the faces of the people around him in the dim light, and then relaxed in the normal expression of the other person, secretly cursing himself as sick.

Obviously, when I was selecting the "Best Newcomer Award", I didn't have such violent swings in my mind.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Xingfeng felt his gaze and asked in a low voice.

"I'm... fine." Lu Xiumu twisted uncomfortably, as if a nail had grown out of the chair.

Qiu Xingfeng stared at him for a while, then suddenly leaned a little closer to him: "Mr. Lu, you are nervous about me."

He directly pierced Lu Xiumu's contradictory thoughts without using interrogative sentences.

"I—" Lu Xiumu pursed his lips, "It's not that I don't believe in you, but I also think that you will definitely win the award. That's, that's..."

He "just" couldn't find the right vocabulary for a long time, and he slumped on the back of the chair like he was giving up on himself: "I may be sick, and I always habitually think of things in the worst direction."

Qiu Xingfeng touched his fingers in the dark, and kneaded them gently: "It's okay, you just like me too much."

In normal times, Lu Xiumu would still half-truthfully scold "shameless" in his heart, but now he admits it frankly: "Liking you can really affect thinking."

Qiu Xingfeng didn't change anything on the surface, his gaze was still fixed on the big screen, but while everyone was not paying attention, he raised Lu Xiumu's finger and put it on his lips for a kiss.

His voice was gentle: "Thank you for worrying about me."

For Qiu Xingfeng, this is also an emotion that is about to be forgotten. Everyone seems to think that as long as Qiu Xingfeng appears at the major award ceremonies, he is destined to win awards, even he himself thinks so of.

He is confident in his acting skills, and he is unwilling to waste his mind on worrying about such negative emotions.

But now there is a person who works hard to worry about him.

This made him realize clearly that after being up and down in this circle for so long, he finally has someone by his side who will always be with him.

"Will you be disappointed if I don't win the prize?" Qiu Xingfeng asked.

"How is it possible?" Lu Xiumu felt that he asked a rather idiotic question, "Just try harder next time."

Qiu Xingfeng was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled: "The three golden movie stars are not that important, it's just a heavy metal object."

Lu Xiumu was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.He inexplicably followed the other party and smiled: "Is it very heavy?"

"Actually, I don't know either." Qiu Xingfeng thought for a while, and then said, "Take it back later and let you feel it yourself."

Coincidentally, the award presenter opened the envelope.He made an exaggerated "wow": "The winner of the 58th Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor is—"

He suddenly put the card down again, ignored the boos from the audience, and continued: "Let me describe this actor, you guys guess. He entered the industry at the age of 17, and his first film made him a first-line movie star. He was hailed as the most promising new star by many seniors in the film industry, won the Golden Goblet Best Actor at the age of 21, and swept the film and television circles with director Jiang Bing at the age of 23—"

At this time, the audience was already boiling, and someone who took the lead shouted "Qiu Xingfeng", and then his name resounded in the venue, and even the spotlight had already fallen on him in advance.

And the person concerned didn't seem to see everyone's eyes, and leaned his head close to Lu Xiumu's ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Okay, this time you can measure the weight of the trophy yourself."

Lu Xiumu couldn't help laughing.

"That's right, now we have invited our three gold medal winners—"Wedding Banquet", Qiu Xingfeng!"

There was a wave of applause in an instant, Jiang Bing and Chu Mengting stood up and hugged Qiu Xingfeng, while he strode onto the podium facing the rapidly shaking lights.

The moment he held the trophy, Qiu Xingfeng shook it subconsciously, and then his eyes met Lu Xiumu's.

When the two had a tacit understanding, they laughed at the same time.

Award presenter: "It can be seen that Xingfeng is in a good mood, now please give your acceptance speech."

Qiu Xingfeng held the microphone and paused for a moment: "Actually, I have already prepared the award-winning speech, but——the plan can't keep up with the changes. I have something urgent, so..."

He looked at the camera: "Thank you to all the staff of "The Wedding Banquet", thank you fans for your support all the way, thank you."

Then before everyone recovered, they strode off stage again.

The dizzy yellow light moved along with him, and the guests at the scene came to their senses after a while and applauded again. The award presenters on the stage seemed to be joking about something, but Qiu Xingfeng couldn't feel anything.

At this moment, all the honor faded under Lu Xiumu's gaze, and the road covered with red carpet turned around. The future he was looking forward to was not on the stage, but off the stage.

Regardless of whether there was a mistake or not, when he went around and looked back, Qiu Xingfeng realized that he was by his side in the most difficult time, and he was by his side in the happiest time.

He saw his Teacher Lu stand up and took the trophy from him.

No one cares how much it weighs, and no one cares what this trophy means.Qiu Xingfeng leaned over to kiss him amidst the camera and applause.

Time seems to be endless, and the lights are running at full speed through the big screen——

They are the best awards that belong to each other.
