I became popular after I opened with a wealthy actor

Xia Chiqing instinctively wanted to comfort her, but withdrew her hand hesitantly.

In fact, he can't comfort anything, it's like being stared at by the other party for many years, but he didn't even realize it.

Xia Chiqing suddenly complained, blamed Ember, and blamed herself even more.He bowed his head and hurried into the rain, no matter when the drizzle turned into a downpour.

In the end, because he walked too seriously, he bumped into Song Min head-on.

"Ouch my old bones."

Subconsciously, Xia Chiqing stopped him, apologized repeatedly, and found out that it was Song Min: "Um, Song... Director Song..."

The two eye-to-eye and heart-to-heart, caught a person caught doing bad things by surprise.

Song Min was heartbroken and clutched his chest: "Xiao Xia, I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it. You didn't listen to me and sneaked here!"

Xia Chiqing felt guilty, let go of the person, and grabbed the hem of her clothes with an embarrassed look on her face.He opened his mouth a few times and didn't know what to say, and finally he lowered his head: "Director Song is my fault, you can scold me."

Looking at the person in front of him, Song Min wondered what happened to the child, like Shuang beating an eggplant.Before I figured out what was going on, it suddenly sprayed.

"Why do you let a child get wet in the rain? When can you stop scolding someone?" Yu Zhenrong walked over with dissatisfaction on his face, "Why don't you hurry up and grab an umbrella?"

Song Min was taken aback by what he said, only to realize that Xia Chiqing's hair was wet in a blink of an eye.Fortunately, Xiao Zhou just found out that his young master was gone and came out to look for him, so he came over holding an umbrella, just in time.

The few people gathered together in the rain were quite conspicuous, and Ember heard Xia Chiqing's voice and looked over.No one present was as quick as Yu Zhenrong, and immediately stood behind Xia Chiqing.

Song Min San Que only said three, seeing that the person was about to leave, how could he let it go: "Don't you say a few words to your grandson?"

Yu Zhenrong waved his hand: "You don't know yet. It's gone."

Hearing this, Song Min understood that the grandparent and grandson have not yet reconciled.He can't talk too much about housework, so he can only stop keeping him.

Xia Chiqing had just returned to China, and she didn't know the relationships in the circle, let alone her face, so she didn't recognize Yu Zhenrong.After the two of them exchanged a few words, he realized it later.

Ah, it turns out that the old man is Teacher Yu's grandfather.

But listening to the inside and outside of the words, the relationship between Mr. Yu and Grandpa seems to be...

While thinking about it, Yu Zhenrong had already left, and when Yu Jian came over, he happened to see him looking ahead, the corner was empty.

"What are you looking at?" His voice sounded very hoarse.

Xia Chiqing came back to her senses, shook her head after thinking for a while: "It's nothing."

Before the two could say a few more words, Song Min interrupted this rare meeting: "Xiao Xia, I won't scold you. But if you do something wrong, you will be punished, so let's take the set of shots taken two days ago. Let's do it again."

In fact, Song Min wasn't really angry, after all, after filming for so long, he also knew Xiao Xia's professional ability, just to tease the children.

Seeing that the person in front of him became nervous, Ember smiled across his lips, sweeping away the tiredness between his brows: "The wind was strong a few days ago, and the window was blown back and forth. I didn't find it when I was filming. Director Song checked last night. The film only noticed the cheating. I want to make it up too, it’s okay.”

Song Min rolled his eyes angrily and turned himself into a villain again.

Xia Chiqing breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly to Director Song, "You are not."

Song Min choked, and suddenly lost his temper with these two, and simply laughed too.

This time, the AB groups were not separated, and the scenes were all in the same classroom.Ember saw that Xia Chiqing kept her head down, so she yelled, but there was no response.The hand placed between the eyebrows paused, and Ember called out again.

Xia Chiqing woke up suddenly: "Mr. Yu, are you calling me?"

Ember frowned: "What are you thinking?"

Xia Chiqing was thinking a lot, such as speculation about his past, such as the relationship with his grandfather, but he didn't know how to speak, or it was not suitable for him to speak.In fact, he has been a little depressed, but was interrupted by Song Min just now.

Exhaling, Xia Chiqing didn't answer, but changed the subject: "I was here two days ago to take a long shot of the class, is Teacher Yu similar?"

The kid seemed to have something on his mind, but he kept his mouth shut. Ember squinted her eyes and unbuttoned the collar of her shirt with her fingers: "We are different."

The crew coordinator will group according to the situation when arranging the shooting, and such long shots like this are likely to be shot in a few days.Xia Chiqing also asked casually, only to realize that this was another spoiler after asking, and immediately regretted it.

But when he heard the answer, he was still stunned, subconsciously wanted to ask, and then saw Song Min's eyes.He squeezed closer to Ember, trying to reduce his sense of presence.

Song Min gave a "tsk" on the spot: "Xiaoxia first, hurry up and get ready."

Although her heart was fluctuating, Xia Chiqing was a little bit reluctant to meet the person she had longed for after finally meeting her, her round eyes were full of unaware nostalgia.

Ember's breathing slowed down, most of her irritability subsided, she raised her hand to stroke the little curly hair, and said softly, "Go."

After Song Min found out that the window was broken yesterday, he asked someone to fix it overnight.The furnishings in the classroom are still the same as they were when shooting, so there is no need to make any changes.By the time Xia Chiqing came out after putting on her makeup, everything was already in place.

There are only a few words written in the script for the content of this group of long shots, which is just Lin Tao's daily life in class, as long as the shots are beautiful.Xia Chiqing went step by step and it was over soon.At the end of the play, it happened that Ember came in after finishing her pose, and Song Min cue him.

Logically speaking, Xia Chiqing should leave at this time.However, he recalled carefully, what Director Song said was "no meeting in private", and now it's a workplace, so it shouldn't...not count?

Seeing that Song Min wasn't paying attention, Xia Chiqing silently moved aside, pulled Xiao Zhou to stand in front of her, and cast her eyes on Ember.

In Lin Tao's story, Chen Xueshen did not appear in this paragraph as usual.Xia Chiqing even recalled every word in the script repeatedly, but couldn't find any hint about the other party.So he was actually curious about what kind of role Chen Xueshen would have in this classroom.

"Alright, Chen Xueshen is going to—"

The lights were in place and the filming began.

The window was half opened, and the cool wind blew in with the rain.Chen Xueshen was still wearing a camel-colored windbreaker, and it was slightly different from the movie scene, so it probably didn't happen at the same time.

He sat at the end of the classroom, without any textbooks on the table, but with his arms propped up, looking very lazy.But he kept focusing on something, and there was an empty seat following his eyes.

Xia Chiqing was taken aback, he was just sitting there.

So Chen Xueshen is also looking at Lin Tao here...

"Chen Xueshen is recording." Song Min shouted with a loudspeaker in hand.

Following the director's prompt, Chen Xueshen took out a recording pen from his windbreaker pocket.The camera zoomed in, and he pressed the record button.

Such an unremarkable action, yet someone's heart skipped a beat when they saw it.

For some reason, Xia Chiqing somehow felt that Chen Xueshen's action was also for Lin Tao.He remembered that Lin Tao was called up by the professor to answer the questions in this class.

When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, all the students rushed away like a tide, only Chen Xueshen remained unhurried, and even took out a bright yellow mp3.

The rain became bigger without knowing it, and the empty classroom was full of coolness.There was no one in the corridor, only the residual light of the sensor lamp.

The wind blows, blows,

Suddenly, there was no light.

In the darkness, long, white fingers tapped on the interface of the mp3 player, click, click.Perhaps the play button was accidentally pressed, and the sound inside just flowed out.

"Although pre-Qin literature..."

It was Lin Tao's voice.

The recording was very long, and Xia Chiqing noticed right away that this was not the class he had retaken just now.There are also some parts taken when the windows were not broken.Chen Xueshen actually recorded everything, even including the roll call before class.

The mp3 played "arrive" eighteen times, but Xia Chiqing knew that she only said it once, so it was post-processing by the props team.

No, it should be said that Chen Xueshen handled it.

Chen Xueshen finally took out the earphones when No.20 sounded "arrive".He lay on his stomach with his pillow on the long thin white thread, until the security guard came to lock the door when the night fully rose.

Xia Chiqing felt that all the suppressed emotions had turned into dull pain, bit by bit grinding her heart.The cold rain fell on the face, and the coolness stopped in the chest along with the breath, and those sparks of pain could not be extinguished.

Ember undid the buttons after she appeared on camera, put the mp3 in her pocket, and raised her eyes just to meet people's gaze.He walked over a few steps, and before he could speak, he heard a question in a daze.

"why……"

Why did Chen Xueshen appear in Lin Tao's class and sit behind him?

Why did he record Lin Tao's voice?

The more confused, the deeper the inexplicable depression, until it is difficult to breathe.Xia Chiqing took a step back, wanted to take a deep breath, and looked at Ember eagerly.

However, Song Min interrupted the two of them again, urging them to prepare for the next rivalry scene.

Xia Chiqing subconsciously repeated: "A rival show?"

"You two shot really well today, and it's still early to call it a day." Song Min looked at his watch, then pointed out the window, "I just checked the weather forecast, and it will clear up from the day after tomorrow, and there are still two heavy rainy events left. Shooting. Taking advantage of the rain and night again, let's hurry up."

One of the scenes, Xia Chiqing knew, was the one she had auditioned for.When Lin Tao first arrived at university, the seasons changed, and her eyes were allergic to the conjunctiva.He fell in a wheelchair in rehearsal before the holiday, and he didn't want to go out at first.But it was really itchy, so I decided to go to the pharmacy.

It's just that the weather is not good, he just hesitated at the school gate for a few minutes, and it started to rain heavily.

Because it was a temporary decision, I didn't have time to bring an umbrella.It was impossible to walk a few steps in the rain, so he turned around and entered a coffee shop not far away.

"There is also Chen Xueshen here?" Xia Chiqing glanced at the script, her eyes suddenly stopped somewhere, "Is it... him?"

Song Min was inspecting the scene, so he didn't hear the question.But it wasn't the other party that Xia Chiqing asked, he just looked up at Ember.

Ember followed his line of sight to look over, there were only two short lines written in the script.

"Lin Tao entered the coffee shop, and there was a man sitting under the umbrella."

"Lin Tao came out of the coffee shop, and there was a man sitting under the sun umbrella."

Ember's expression darkened, and she said inexplicably, "Will you know soon?"

There was a faint smile in his eyes, like the fine ripples rising from the deep sea, every one hit Xia Chiqing's heart.

As brilliant as she was in the audition, Xia Chiqing's performance at the school gate won more praise.Taking advantage of the embers of this shooting, I changed my look, came out to pick up his camera and continued shooting.

Chen Xueshen walked under the umbrella, silenced the sound of the rain, and sat down quietly amidst the noise.

Xia Chiqing guessed right, Chen Xueshen was indeed that "passerby".

As soon as the camera moved, the coffee was steaming. Chen Xueshen was still wearing a camel-colored windbreaker, so thin that he could be blown away by a gust of wind.The button has changed from white to gold, representing a new time period.

In the haze, he raised his beautiful eyebrows, depressed and sharp.

"Lin Tao, come on in."

Xia Chiqing collected her thoughts, pushed the wheelchair forward, and passed Chen Xueshen under the sun umbrella like a stranger.He didn't show it on the surface, but he could instinctively feel a line of sight following him.

Lin Tao originally planned to sit and wait for the rain to stop, but before she could order, the phone rang in her pocket.He was a little puzzled, then took out his phone and glanced at it.

It's from home.

After voluntarily reporting the conflict, he came here with a lonely heart, and his family has never contacted him since then.I don't know if this call is to blame, or...

The bell rang for a long time, Lin Tao lowered her eyes.When the thunder struck, he took a deep breath and hurriedly turned his wheelchair out of the coffee shop.

Surprisingly, there was no scolding. Lin Tao just repeatedly asked if he was allergic again due to the season change, and if he could buy a commonly used brand of eye drops. Lin Tao's nose was sore.

He rubbed the tip of his nose that was blown by the cold rain, and answered "yes" humbly.

After that, there were some greetings. Lin Tao called for a long time at the door of the coffee shop, and finally hung up reluctantly.

It's over here, Xia Chiqing is out of the frame according to Song Min's prompt, but Chen Xueshen's role is not over yet.This time, he walked directly to the monitor and watched Ember's performance from the best angle of view.

The rain was getting heavier, the temperature was getting colder, and the cold was sobering, but the man under the sun umbrella yawned for some reason, and his eyelashes drooped lazily.

Song Min rolled up the script and slapped his thigh fiercely: "Well, well, really good acting!"

He turned his head to Xia Chiqing: "You two are really great! I was worried about your ups and downs after being spoiled today, but I was ready to take a few more shots to calm you down, but you're like this" Familiar strangers' performance is too good!"

"And Xiao Yu. Look at you, tsk." Song Min pointed at the monitor, full of praise, "Chen Xueshen hasn't slept for a long time at this moment. Look at how natural he looks tired and sleepy after hearing Lin Tao's voice." .”

Xia Chiqing grasped the key words: "Has he not slept for a long time?"

Song Min didn't answer, he was completely immersed in the actor's performance.Xia Chiqing turned her head to look at Xiao Zhou, who was surfing in the crew every day.

Xiao Zhou shrank his head: "Brother Xia, if I give you a spoiler, will I be beaten by Director Song?"

Upon receiving Brother Xia's gaze, he immediately held his head high again: "Teacher Yu filmed a few particularly miserable scenes a few days ago, and Chen Xueshen probably suffered from insomnia because of that."

???

"It's just that he has a good background, his parents are loving, he is a winner in life. But it's just bad luck, his mother got into a car accident and can no longer dance, and then he can't even think about jumping off a building."

"Then his father started to deceive the world! He left his son behind and flew abroad with his wife's ashes."

Xia Chiqing raised her head instantly, in disbelief: "Why, why?"

Xiao Zhou couldn't figure it out either: "Who knows, maybe this is what makes cultural people different. Anyway, Chen Xueshen was abandoned by the whole world, and became an orphan directly."

Speaking of this, thinking that he still has a small video secretly recorded internally, he took out his mobile phone and showed it to Xia Chiqing: "Look, look, our teacher Yu acted so hard that my heart is bleeding."

Xia Chiqing saw it like this without any preparation, there was no sound on the small screen, and half of the white curtain was held up by the wind, fluttering weakly and fragilely.It stopped for a moment, and it was stained with bits and pieces of bright red.The rain soaked and blurred the edges, and the colors appeared hazy but glaring.

Combined with Xiao Zhou's words, he thought it should be a hint of Xiao Ningyu's death.The camera flickered, and there was a familiar figure standing downstairs in the bitter wind and rain.

It was Chen Xueshen.

"he……"

"Did he see it?"

Xiao Zhou quickly shook his head: "When I came back, I was sent to the hospital. But Chen Xueshen stood downstairs for a long time."

Xia Chiqing fell into a long silence and silence, he kept staring at the person in the camera.Xiao Zhou saw that the expression was not right, so he quickly put away the phone.

The filming was done in a random order. According to the maturity of Chen Xueshen's appearance, he deduced that the warm family scene should be at the front, followed by the jumping off a building, then the coffee shop, and finally watching the movie.

Xia Chiqing seemed to have finally connected the whole story.Chen Xueshen's parents used to know and love each other, but they were abandoned after an accident.He has transformed from flamboyant and bright to deep and decadent, and he may not be able to heal himself for a long time.

At this moment, the unspeakable pain and suffocation finally reached its peak.Xia Chiqing's chest rose and fell rapidly, and he even held on to the railing beside him.

"Xia, Brother Xia, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Chiqing was very sad.

When Ember came over after finishing filming, he rushed out and knocked people into his arms.

"Xia Xia?"

"Don't talk."

Xia Chiqing's voice was more muffled than Lin Tao who just answered the phone. He buried himself in the other's shoulder: "I learned a lot of spoilers today."

Ember was taken aback for a moment, opened her mouth to say something, and finally sighed.He took the person to a remote corner, let go of his strength and let the person press on him.He lowered his head to touch the face of the person in his arms, and pulled up the windbreaker to cover both of them.

After a long time, he heard the child sniffling: "What use is Lin Tao to Chen Xueshen... He is obviously powerless to everything."

Ember laughed, patted Xia Chiqing on the shoulder, and said softly, "Did you know?"

"……Um?"

"In fact, Chen Xueshen couldn't sleep for a long time, because he was full of doubts about the whole world."

"He didn't understand why neither his father nor himself could be the one who let his mother stay. He didn't understand why his father who loved him so much said he could never face him again."

"He was abandoned by the person he loved the most in the purest and most beautiful time of his life, so he began to doubt himself. He was unwilling to close his eyes, and he was so anxious that he was tireless."

"After a long, long time like this, he suddenly discovered that there was a voice in the world that made him sleepy and tired."

Xia Chiqing was stunned, trying to break free from Ember's arms, but was held down.

"So he has been very grateful to him for so many years." Ember hugged Xia Chiqing tightly, and said softly amidst countless wind and rain, "Thank you for making him want to let me go."

Xia Chiqing stopped her movements, and all the emotions in her heart stopped abruptly at the same time, only one thought arose.

He suddenly felt that Chen Xueshen was not thanking Lin Tao at this moment, but Ember was thanking another person.

"cocoa……"

But can the sound that is just heard by chance have such a big effect?Intuition told himself that there should be more, more, so he couldn't help but say: "Then—"

Ember let go of him, and put her finger on his lips: "Xia Xia, I haven't seen you for so long, do you miss me?"

Xia Chiqing looked into these beautiful eyes, but didn't react, which made the other party laugh: "If you want to know more details, please listen to the next chapter."

Ember leaned close to the person's ear, and gently bent her lips: "Wait for me at night."
