substitute actor

The heating in the hall was sufficient. Jin Siyan stood by the table, holding a glass of wine with little interest, occasionally nodding his head in response to the greetings from others, staying silent and having no desire to talk.

Looking at the people coming and going in the hall, in groups of twos and twos, chatting happily, Jin Siyan frowned. He didn't really want to stay any longer, but he didn't want to embarrass the host, so he stayed for a while under the irritability and impatience. Still took out his phone and sent a message to Jin Zhian.

Jin Siyan: [I'm bored, I'll stay for another 5 minutes and leave. 】

Probably because he was idle, Jin Zhi'an quickly replied to his message: 【Stay until the banquet ends. 】

Jin Siyan was irritated by his commanding tone, and his breathing became more rapid. The hand holding the wine glass subconsciously tightened, his eyes were lowered, and he tapped the screen a few times with his fingertips.

Jin Siyan: [You can see if I can go. 】

With a slightly threatening tone, Jin Zhian only thought that he was still losing his temper and didn't take it seriously, but suddenly felt that his brother seemed to be serious, so he frowned slightly and thought for a while.

Jin Zhi'an: [When the banquet ends, I'll help you contact Huayin. 】

With the mobile phone resting on his chin, Jin Zhi'an was nestled in the sofa, looking thoughtfully at the soft, short-pile carpet of excellent texture. After a while, he heard the phone vibrate.

Jin Siyan: [No need. 】

Anyway, Yan Ge didn't need it.

Seeing that 5 minutes were up, Jin Siyan stood up straight, put the untouched wine on the table, casually adjusted his clothes with lowered eyes, and typed two words smartly: [Let's go. 】

Regardless of Jin Zhian's lure and threats, Jin Siyan turned off his phone, put it in his pocket, and walked towards the door.Turning around the pillars and beams at the corner of the hall, I caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of my eye.

"Brother Yan, how are you doing recently?"

"Are you busy with work?"

"Hey, brother Yan, what's busy, he's an old man, who is like you, busy every day and doesn't know what to do."

The words that seemed to be joking and sarcasm, with a sharp and mean high voice, Yan Ge only smiled lightly, and didn't pay too much attention to the small talk of these half-acquainted people.

He has an impression of these people, most of them are co-workers who have acted together a few times, and some are lesser-known directors and screenwriters. Usually, they are not so considerate to him. I don’t know why today, as soon as Yan Ge walked into the hall , Surrounded in twos and threes.

Not interested in hearing their accusations and insinuations here, Yan Ge turned his wrist slightly, watching the golden wine flow against the transparent cup with lowered eyelashes.

After half a minute, someone yelled, "Young Master Jin!"

Originally, he was not in the mood to listen to their exchange, but when he heard this, Yan Ge paused for a moment, and the wine in his hand seemed to freeze. He immediately reacted, turned sideways calmly, and put down the glass.

Looking up, the man has slowly approached.

After receiving the wine from a few starlets, Jin Siyan nodded politely as a greeting, and took a sip of face, "Come to play?"

One of the younger actors smiled shyly, "The director asked us to come."

"It's pretty good." Jin Siyan's tone was cold, polite and alienated, "It's always a good thing to come out and see more."

"It's not in vain to meet Jin Shao here hahaha..."

Jin Siyan smiled and didn't speak. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the person who had been standing in the corner looking down at the phone. His eyes were deep and shallow, and they didn't stop, and then moved away indifferently.

"Brother Yan." Suddenly someone called him.

Before Yan Ge looked up, another glass of wine was stuffed into his hand.

"Brother Yan and Young Master Jin have a good relationship, don't you? Why don't you say hello when you see Young Master Jin coming? It's unreasonable." The director who was speaking was a very rigidly dressed director, looking at Yan Ge with resentment in his eyes, mouth Li said it decently, "Brother Yan, why don't you have a drink?"

With his mouth half open, a little dazed, Yan Ge subconsciously looked at the man standing in front of him, but found that he didn't notice his side.

Holding the wine glass in his hand, it was like pinching a hot potato. Rejection was neither acceptance nor acceptance. Seeing Jin Siyan standing far away, there was no movement, and he didn't know whether to let him drink this glass.

After a while, just when Yan Ge was about to drink it down, Jin Siyan hesitated to speak.

"No need." Jin Siyan raised his glass lightly, then raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, "I'm about to leave, so I won't waste Yan Ge's time."

The words were calm, but unexpectedly sarcastic, and they came down lukewarm, which made the crowd subconsciously look at each other in disbelief, changing their eyes with suspicion and certainty.

Hearing what he said, Yan Ge retracted the cup that he had just brought to his lips, coughed lightly to cover up, lowered his eyes so as not to meet his gaze, and pursed his lips in an awkward and helpless manner.

Hearing the man's farewell voice, a pair of shoes within sight moved, then turned and left.

Yan Ge closed his eyes, and heard the seemingly absent sighs from the people around him. He didn't know what the meaning was, but it made Yan Ge feel flustered intermittently.

Jin Siyan has always refused to communicate with him. This time he was let go, and the next time we meet again, I don't know when it will be. Thinking of this, I felt a little more at ease, and my legs made a decision faster than my brain, and followed out.

"Jin Siyan." Yan Ge called him softly, and quickly followed the man's leaving figure.

The back figure in front of him paused, and his footsteps were a little slower. After all, he still didn't make a cold move of ignoring him, but he didn't have the familiarity of the past. He just turned slightly, looked at him quietly, and waited for his next words.

"What's the matter?" Jin Siyan loosened the corners of his lips, and his voice sounded low and indifferent.

"There's something wrong." Yan Ge met his gaze, feeling a little inexplicably timid for a moment, but still bit the bullet and looked at him.

"speak."

"..." Yan Ge swallowed, and unconsciously rubbed his palm against the skirt of his shirt. After a moment, he thought about it and said, "I want to apologize to you."

Jin Siyan looked at him, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, he took a breath, and raised his eyebrows lazily, "Thank you, but no need, I have received your apology many times, and I will use it in my next life." Not finished."

"..."

Yan Ge sighed slightly.

"I just want you to know that I never think you are bad," Yan Ge said slowly, his voice was calm and gentle, but because of a slight trembling, it revealed the fear and retreat that had been suppressed all the time, "I said at the time, I don't want you The thing to do to beg Mr. Jin is not to insinuate that you have no real power, I just..."

His tone was slightly restrained, and he paused for a moment. From the corner of his eye, he stared at the man's icy and unchanging face. Yan Ge closed his eyes and said cruelly, "...I just don't want you to do something you don't like."

His career is really not that important, and he doesn't deserve Jin Siyan to beg his mean brother in a low voice and lower his eyebrows, maybe he will have to say a few sarcasm.

Yan Ge really didn't want Jin Siyan to bear this.

But looking forward and backward, he still messed up. He forgot that although Jin Siyan was not visible on the face, he had been shrouded in the shadow of his brother for more than 20 years. He said he didn't mind at all, how could it be possible?

When Yan Ge rarely disagreed with him, this was the first time he stepped on this person's minefield. He was indeed a master of minesweeping.

After speaking, there was silence in the stairwell. Yan Ge's heart was beating fast, he lowered his head halfway, clenched his fists as if accepting a trial, and tried his best to suppress his unsteady breathing.

With only the sound of his own heartbeat in his ears, Yan Ge waited quietly, the courage and backbone in his heart gradually disappeared in Jin Siyan's endless silence.

I don't know how long it took before I heard a sound coming from in front of me, but it was the sound of leaving footsteps.

Yan Ge was stunned for a moment, looking at Jin Siyan's upright and unhesitating back, his heart stopped beating for a moment, and then overwhelming annoyance and grievances invaded, persecuting him, making him breathless.

His knees were weak, and he raised his hand to support the wall. Only then did Yan Ge get over the blackness in front of his eyes, and heard the group of people looking at him probingly, whispering, and saying some incomprehensible mocking words.

Humming in the ears, blurred as if soaked in water, Yan Ge struggled to breathe, suppressing the inexplicable nausea in his stomach, and walked slowly towards the bathroom.

·

Sitting in the car, Jin Siyan lit a cigarette, watched the scarlet fire burning in the dark night, frowned, looked at the endless neon lights in the distance through the car window, and took a long time to catch his breath.

He thinks things are getting a little bit worse.

He took out his mobile phone and called Li Huixing. It rang three times and was picked up on time.

"Jin Shao, good evening." Li Huixing held a long voice and smiled on the other end of the phone, "Why do you want to call me? What's the matter?"

Jin Siyan was silent for a moment, his lips were straightened, and his face showed a rare embarrassment.

Probably also noticed the man's abnormal reaction, Li Huixing put away his joking gesture, and coughed seriously, "What's the matter, Brother Jin? Are you in any trouble?"

Jin Siyan thought for a while, then said, "I feel like..."

After saying a few words, he stopped again, as if he was organizing the words behind him.

Li Huixing had to wait inexplicably before he heard the man's slightly hoarse voice complete the last half of the sentence.

"I seem to have that feeling about Yan Ge."

·

Holding the sink, he hurriedly washed his face, Yan Ge put his phone on the side of the table, closed his eyes, and took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe his face.

Cold water slipped into the collar along the neck line, and it was very wet and uncomfortable. Yan Ge pulled the collar a little irritably, and his movements were a little rough.

As soon as he turned around, he accidentally bumped into a person, and heard a cold "tsk", Yan Ge sighed in his heart, forgetting that this place is all the masters he can't offend, and apologized repeatedly in a chaotic manner, but did not hear the answer, only the bathroom cubicle The clang of the door being slammed.

Coming out of the bathroom, three or two slightly drunk people walked this way talking and laughing. The moment they brushed shoulders with Yan Ge, one of them stretched out his hand to hold Yan Ge.

"Yange? Why are you here?"

Yan Ge looked up, and saw a slightly familiar face. He thought about it, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"Director Xie, they are looking for you everywhere, why did you run here and hide?"

Director Xie is the director who just met Jin Siyan. He thought he could leave with the trend, but he didn't expect that group of people would want to pester him for a drink.

Smiling wearily, Yan Ge could only ask, "Thank you, where are they?"

"I just saw them go to the Great Flower Hall." Another man interjected, lying on the shoulder of the man in front, and pointed to the corridor not far away, "Go along the corridor, the third room."

"Thank you." Yan Ge nodded, turned around and walked over there.
