Shi Zhou immediately sensed something was wrong with Lu Ran, and quickly held his friend's hand, "Lu Ran, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

"I……"

Lu Ran's pupils fluttered violently, and he was clasping the wristband on his right hand tightly because of his shortness of breath. Underneath were the old scars that he didn't want to see.

Is this PTSD?

Shi Zhou reacted quickly, he didn't care about the people in the room, and asked loudly, "Lu Ran! Take it easy! Take a deep breath!"

Lu Ran gasped desperately for two breaths, and the responsibilities and curses of countless people emerged from his dizzy brain.

——How dare this bastard hook up with Brother Xi!You are the stumbling block on his career path!Why don't you just die!

——Don't try to hype Brother Xi up!He is so good, you don't deserve it!People like you should go out and get hit by a car!

——It turned out to be a child with no parents, no wonder!Only those tricks that are shameful!You must have been planning to find Yuji to expose it for a long time!

——Xiao Ran, how can you How can you be with Xu Xi?I treat you like my own son!

——Xiaoran, take the initiative to break up with Xu Xiti, and don't disappoint us anymore, okay?

The sound waves in Lu Ran's mind became chaotic, and he could only instinctively beg for mercy, "No, no! I... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Shi Zhou looked at Lu Ran who was on the verge of falling, and was about to reach out to help him stabilize, but Zhang Xuxi took a step ahead, "Xiao Ran!"

The other party rushed over quickly and held Lu Ran in his arms.

Zhang Xuxi looked at Lu Ran who couldn't stop trembling, and looked anxiously at Shi Zhou, the only one who knew, "Shi Zhou, what's going on?"

Shi Zhou was thinking about Lu Ran's situation, so he didn't have time to look at Zhang Xuxi's displeasure, but before he answered, the half-hidden door of the lounge was opened from the inside.

After Cheng Xian and his manager Zhao Meng heard the movement, they came out one after the other.

After seeing Zhang Xuxi and Shizhou, Cheng Xian felt a subtle unease in his heart, "What's wrong?"

At the same time, Zhao Meng recalled the conversation in the lounge not long ago, and tried to probe, "Yes, who is Xu Xi holding in his arms? Are you feeling unwell?"

"..."

When Zhang Xuxi and Cheng Xian were in the same former company, there were several times of resource competition that was about to become stale, and they have lost contact for a long time.

In comparison, when they were both 'singing and dancing idols' back then, the violence and gossip between Du Wei far surpassed that of Shi Zhou and Sheng Yanwen in the period of their opponents.

Seeing that Zhang Xuxi didn't answer, Shi Zhou looked at Cheng Xian and his manager with cold eyes, "What's going on? Cheng Xian, what have you done to your heart that you don't know?"

Chengxian got stuck, obviously did not expect Shi Zhou to be so rude to him when they first met.

"I……"

Just as he was about to refute, he saw another figure walking quickly from a distance.

Shi Zhou, who was in a rage, heard footsteps, turned around and met Sheng Yanwen's eyes.

There was a sudden problem with the machine in the preparation room No. [-], so the interview session was delayed for half an hour.

Sheng Yanwen was thinking about Shizhou in his heart, and when he went out to ask the staff where his lover left, he hurried to find him.

Sheng Yanwen sensed his lover's seldom anger for the first time, and briefly shifted his attention to Zhang Xuxi and Lu Ran who was being comforted in his arms, feeling something was wrong in his heart.

"Zhouzhou, what's the matter?"

"what happened?"

Shi Zhou let out a sneer angrily, looked at Zhang Xuxi and pointed at Cheng Xian.

"Zhang Xuxi, ask your teammates in the same group in the past what shameful deeds they did!"

"The relationship between you and Lu Ran back then was simply exposed by Cheng Xian, a bastard! He led the illegitimate fan and Du Wei to step back on you, and in the end, the person who was bullied by the Internet for you became Lu Ran!"

"I'll ask you, do you care about this matter?"

"What did Lu Ran do wrong back then, to be hurt like that by you, your ex-colleagues, and your Duwei fans!"

There was absolute silence in the corridor.

Cheng Xian and his manager looked at each other, seeing through the guilt in each other's eyes, Zhang Xuxi and Sheng Yanwen, who knew about this for the first time, changed their expressions in unison.

"..."

Lu Ran struggled to get out of Zhang Xuxi's familiar but unfamiliar embrace, turned around and held Shi Zhou's wrist, and said in a tremblingly weak voice, "Shi Zhou, forget it."

There is no need to mention what happened back then.

Shi Zhou held Lu Ran's trembling and cold wrist instead, and disagreed, "Forget it? Lu Ran, you..."

Can the scars on the wrists be forgotten?

After all, Shi Zhou couldn't bear to ask the second half of the sentence.

After seeing Lu Ran's face, Cheng Xian's hidden guilt reached its peak, he didn't expect at all——

Lu Ran actually appeared here? !The conversation between him and Zhao Meng in the lounge was overheard by Shi Zhou and the others?

Not only that, but now Zhang Xuxi and Sheng Yanwen also know about it?

How to do this?

After all, Cheng Xian had been in the entertainment industry for several years, he immediately feigned a trace of displeasure at being slandered, "Mr. Shi, it's one thing for you to be friends, but there are some things you can't say nonsense!"

Zhao Meng also smoothed things over, "Yes, everyone is a public figure and has to be responsible for their words and deeds."

Fortunately, everyone 'handed in' their mobile phones before entering the venue to record the variety show. This is still the time when the live broadcast is stopped. There is no audio or video to support Shizhou's remarks, so they can deny it outright.

After all, everyone is a public figure in the entertainment industry, no matter how ugly they are in private, they will not pretend that nothing happened on the surface.

The only pity is that the hype of the same frame he wanted is doomed to come to naught.

"..."

Can some things not be said indiscriminately?

Think you can be unscrupulous without monitoring and recording equipment?

When Shi Zhou saw Cheng Xian's face, he felt hypocritical, and wished he could go up and beat him ten times.

Sheng Yanwen lowered his eyes first, "You two mean that Zhou Zhou is lying and slandering you? Is this necessary?"

is it necessary?

The last four words Sheng Yanwen's aura as Shidi is fully open, making people inexplicably hear a sense of ridicule.

What is the status of the celebrity now?What is the popularity of Shizhou now?Is it necessary to say something 'upside down' to slander Cheng Xian, the person who met for the first time?

"..."

The entertainment industry is both realistic and cruel, and Cheng Xian has no status and capital and is arguing with grand rumors.

He was about to take back his inappropriate remarks to Shizhou just now, but Zhang Xuxi, who was silent, suddenly punched him in the face.

"--what!"

Unprepared, Cheng Xian fell to the ground, and even the four people around him were shocked. Zhang Xuxi still felt that this was not enough to relieve his anger, so he followed and grabbed the other party's collar.

"Fuck! Zhang Xuxi, you..."

Cheng Xian burst into anger from the pain, and raised his head to face Zhang Xuxi, who was suddenly frightened.

The other party's eyes were terribly dark, and there were red threads that seemed to drop blood. The veins on the temples burst out in extreme anger, and it looked like a beast that was so suppressed that it wanted to eat people.

This is Zhang Xuxi who has never appeared in Cheng Xian's memory.

"--boom!"

Zhang Xuxi's anger didn't stop because of Cheng Xian's cursing, he punched Cheng Xian in the face again.

Cheng Xian couldn't bear it anymore, and tried his best to fight back.

Manager Zhao Meng finally recovered from the shock, and hurried up to fight, "Don't, don't fight!"

Lu Ran didn't expect that Zhang Xuxi would suddenly lose control and strike, his heart tightened, and he struggled to retract his foot that had just taken half a step up, "Shizhou, this..."

"Don't stop! People like Cheng Xian are underwhelmed!"

Although Shi Zhou had some complaints about Zhang Xuxi, he was very satisfied with his current fight.

Shi Zhou looked at his lover beside him, "Yanwen, I will take Lu Ran first."

Lu Ran's hands were still terribly cold, and the blood on his face hadn't fully recovered. As a good friend, he was not at all at ease.

Sheng Yanwen considered that this matter cannot be hidden from the program crew, and he did not want Shi Zhou to be involved in this dispute, "Okay."

Lu Ran looked at Zhang Xuxi, who was about to fall into a disadvantage in one-on-two, and left with Shizhou cruelly.

He wanted to get rid of those unhappy memories back then, among them... including Zhang Xuxi himself.

--

After half an hour.

Shi Zhou looked at Lu Ran, who had gradually recovered his color, and sat beside the bed with the medicine box sent by the staff, "Here, reach out, I'll get you some medicine."

Just now in the stress reaction, Lu Ran pinched his right wrist too hard, which caused three or four scratches around the wrist, and now it looks red and swollen, and a lot of blood has coagulated.

Lu Ran said apologetically, "Shizhou, I'm sorry, did I delay your preparations?"

"Apologize for what?"

Shi Zhou glanced at him and took out a disposable sterile cotton swab, "It takes about ten minutes to prepare for harvesting. If we can't get it done tonight, just find a spare day to make up for it."

What's more, the scuffle between Zhang Xuxi and Cheng Xian must not be hidden. How can the chief director Zhou Quan have the intention to prepare for it?

When the sterile cotton swab touched the wound, the irritation was obviously painful, but Lu Ran's expression didn't change.

Compared with the wound on the wrist back then, this little injury is really nothing worth mentioning.

Shi Zhou sighed softly, "Lu Ran, can I ask what you think now? Whether it's about the incident back then or about Zhang Xuxi."

Sheng Yanwen once told him that both Lu Ran and Zhang Xuxi are adults, and they have the ability to be responsible for their actions.

Shi Zhou knows that no matter how much he loves Lu Ran, he cannot make decisions on behalf of his friends.

Lu Ran lowered his eyes and was silent for a while, then said slowly, "Shizhou, I know you have lost your memory and can't remember, but there are many things I haven't been able to tell you in detail."

At that time, Lu Ran was surrounded by depression, and he really didn't want to mention those pains.

Shi Zhou heard that he had the idea to confide, "If you want to talk, I can listen, just like we did in the orphanage back then."

Lu Ran was reminded of his childhood by his words, and smiled, "Just a few days after we confirmed our relationship, Xu Xi received the script of the second male lead of "Night Journey". According to the contract, he will follow the crew to overseas real scenes Shooting for three months."

"I didn't get a visa at the time, and when I thought about being separated for so long, so..."

Therefore, Lu Ran couldn't hold back and kissed Zhang Xuxi in the underground parking lot. The kiss, which was tasted lightly, became an ironclad proof of the shock under the freeze frame of the candid photo.

"Actually, Xu Xi took the initiative to come to me right after the relationship was exposed."

Shi Zhou was startled, "Zhang Xuxi came to look for you?"

He thought that the other party was acting like a scumbag, so he turned his face and refused to recognize him.

"Well, he made an appointment with me at a private meeting place, and said he had something to say to me." Lu Ran recalled Zhang Xuxi's calm but gentle tone on the phone, and the tip of his nose was sore.

"But as soon as I left the unit, I found a few people following me secretly."

Shi Zhou frowned, "Illegitimate?"

Lu Ran nodded, "I don't know how those people found my home address, but I knew I couldn't let them find Xu Xi, so I temporarily changed the route and plan."

Lu Ran remembered very clearly that a girl in the group of illegitimate students followed her, and her emotions suddenly became agitated, and then the scene got out of control.

"I was caught and insulted by them, and someone even hit me with a backpack, but I knew I couldn't fight back. When I finally got home, I met Zhang Xuxi's parents at the door."

"..."

Shi Zhou's heart skipped a beat.

Needless to say, Lu Ran could imagine the psychological anxiety facing his elders in that situation.They are all children who have lost their parents since childhood, and they are actually more afraid of facing questions from their elders than ordinary people.

"Zhang Xuxi is their only child. My uncles and aunts have always treated me as their own son after my parents passed away."

"Back then, I was the one who couldn't control the confession, I was the one who couldn't help kissing him outside, and I was the one who caused the consequences!"

"I didn't have the face to face my uncles and aunts, so I could only agree to all their requests like a walking corpse. After they left, I sat alone for a long time in a daze."

When he came back to his senses, Lu Ran saw the hot search responses on Weibo.

"I tried to call Zhang Xuxi, and wanted to hear him explain it to me personally, but the phone was turned off and didn't connect."

"However, Zhang Xuxi's agent at the time called me and said that it was his own intention."

Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, Lu Ran, who was already trapped in self-blame, watched helplessly as the last ray of light disappeared.

"I know that I was extreme at that time. If you and Yan Wen hadn't arrived in time, I would not be in this world long ago."

Lu Ran looked at the scar on his wrist, and then looked at Shi Zhou again, "Shi Zhou, I know you've been angry for me, and you don't like Zhang Xuxi."

"Back then, he chose his future, and I chose the stupidest way to end despair. It is meaningless to entangle right and wrong. If possible, I want to let this matter pass completely."

It's not a miss, let alone an unforgiveness.

"Zhang Xuxi is someone I really liked when I was young. I can't completely erase him from my memory. If I do it all over again, I should still try to chase his back."

But there is no chance to start over in life, we can only keep looking forward.

Shi Zhou tentatively asked, "What about now?"

Lu Ran thought for a while, and only said, "Probably a stranger who needs to avoid suspicion."

When Shi Zhou heard this, he almost understood his friend's decision.

He took out a round citrus from his pocket, tossed it into Lu Ran's hand, and changed the subject, "Here, peel it and eat it."

Lu Ran was half a beat behind, "Where did you get the oranges?"

Shi Zhou said, "When I went out to pick up the medicine kit, I got it from the staff."

Lu Ran slowly peeled the tangerines, and couldn't help but recall things from his childhood, "Do you remember that the children in the orphanage loved to eat tangerines, and the dean would send them to us once a week."

"Remember, I don't like it, you like it."

Otherwise, Shi Zhou would not have given it to Lu Ran, "The dean once got stuck for less than half a month and didn't send it, but you are greedy."

Lu Ran took the opportunity to answer, "That time you took me to sneak out of the orphanage. The two of us walked for more than half an hour before arriving at the secret base you mentioned."

In fact, the two of them ran to the holiday villa area by the sea, where many fruit trees were planted in the wealthy area.

Lu Ran recalled that episode, "By the way, you almost caused a big incident that time. We are afraid of being scolded by the dean after we go back."

However, within two days, Shizhou was picked up by his adoptive parents, and Lu Ran was also taken back by the Zhangs.

There was a knock on the door, breaking the memories between the two of them.

Shi Zhou took the initiative to get up, only to realize that the person standing outside the door was Sheng Yanwen, "Why are you here?"

"The matter over there is over, I'm here to find you." Sheng Yanwen's first words still revolved around Shi Zhou, he didn't enter the door casually, "Is Lu Ran feeling better?"

Lu Ran, who was leaning on the bed, could distinguish Sheng Yanwen's voice, "Shizhou, I'm fine here, you should go back and rest early, you have to shoot tomorrow morning."

Shi Zhou didn't refuse, "Okay, you have a good rest tonight, and feel free to contact me and Hanhan if you feel uncomfortable."

Lu Ran accepted his friend's concern, "Well, thank you."

The door of the room was closed again.

Shi Zhou took the initiative to shake Sheng Yanwen's hand, "After Lu Ran and I left, how is the situation over there?"

Sheng Yanwen told the truth, "Cheng Xian was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and the corners of Xu Xi's eyes were also bruised."

Shi Zhou chuckled, "You didn't stop me?"

Sheng Yanwen replied, "I stopped it, after the crowd watching Chengxian was beaten up, I stopped it a little before the staff ran up."

To put it bluntly, it was just a show, and he also felt that Cheng Xian should play.

Shi Zhou had a better understanding of Sheng Yanwen's black belly, and said happily, "And then?"

"The program team is still adjusting. Cheng Xian relied on the lack of surveillance records, and killing Xu Xi was deliberately retaliating." Sheng Yanwen didn't hide Shi Zhou at all, "Both parties are public figures, and the influence of rumors is not good. Especially Xu Xi's side."

"Are you afraid that the impact will be bad after you have been beaten?"

Shi Zhou snorted angrily, "Cheng Xian, who plays tricks behind his back, should be beaten! Even if Zhang Xuxi doesn't make a move, I still have to punch him hard."

When Sheng Yanwen heard this, he gave a 'tsk' in disapproval.

Shi Zhou immediately calmed down, "...then I ask you to beat him up for me?"

Sheng Yanwen couldn't do anything about his lover's occasional pettiness, so he smiled and kissed the ring on his ring finger.

Shi Zhou's heart moved, and he couldn't help but ask again, "Yanwen, you said that if it hadn't been for the chaos in the beginning, would the ending of Lu Ran and Zhang Xuxi be different?"

At least, Lu Ran won't be hit one after another, and thus easily go to the step of cutting his wrists.

Sheng Yanwen noticed the change in his attitude, "What? Don't you hate Xu Xi anymore?"

Shi Zhou snorted, "No, but Lu Ran has already let go, I'm too lazy to keep arguing with him."

Sheng Yanwen took Shi Zhou back to his rest room, closed the door and talked, "It's pointless for us to analyze what happened back then."

Shi Zhou nodded, "That's true."

Sheng Yanwen said casually, "I see that Xu Xi is out of control today, and he doesn't seem to have no feelings for Lu Ran."

Shi Zhou raised his eyebrows, "What's the use of belated affection? I don't think Lu Ran is rare now, not to mention that the relationship in the entertainment industry has to go through more tests than ordinary circles. How can there be so many affectionate and good men? "

"Even if Zhang Xuxi and Lu Ran didn't break up back then, it's not certain that they have..."

Shi Zhou didn't finish his sentence, but Sheng Yanwen understood his meaning enough.

"That's not necessarily the case. There are people in this circle who are willing to stick to one end."

"Who?" Shi Zhou blurted out, and he understood in an instant, "Mr. Sheng, you're not talking about yourself, are you?"

Sheng Yanwen was not humble at the moment, "Aren't I?"

Shi Zhou smiled and hugged his arms tightly, suddenly remembered something, "Then I'll ask you."

Sheng Yan heard him and lifted him to sit on the water bar, raised his head slightly, "Say it."

"What do you plan to do if I fail to choose to return to China to come back, or if I fail to come back after a long-term overseas stay?"

What Shi Zhou is asking now is also the confusion he has been hiding in his heart.

"If I hadn't returned to China, then the career gap between us would only get bigger and bigger, because the distance would cause more and more estrangement and estrangement, I'm afraid the ending would be unsatisfactory."

Sheng Yanwen interrupted him, "No."

"Ok?"

Sheng Yanwen said, "Before you choose to return to China, I have already made a decision - I plan to suspend my work in the entertainment industry after filming "Wear the Wind" and go abroad to settle down and live with you."

"what?"

It was the first time Shi Zhou knew about this.

Seeing the shock in his eyes, Sheng Yanwen chuckled, "Otherwise, how could I be so free right now? Apart from being on the show with you, there are almost no other scripts coming to you?"

It was because Sheng Yu had already reserved a good schedule for Sheng Yanwen in advance and pushed out many excellent scripts.

Shi Zhou's heart was moved, "You are not yet 30 years old, your career prospects are very good, how can you..."

Sheng Yanwen thought very clearly, "Career is very important, but you are more important, I just know that I can't lose you."

"..."

Shi Zhou's eye sockets were sore.

Sheng Yanwen rubbed the corners of his eyes with his fingertips, and said with a smile, "However, thank you for choosing to return to China."

"Because I didn't want to lose you before 'amnesia'." Shi Zhou took the initiative to bow his head and kissed Sheng Yanwen's lips, "Yanwen."

"I'm here."

"Although I don't know that I liked you before, but now I really, really—" Shi Zhou hid his love between his lips, "I like you so much."

Sheng Yanwen kissed her back vigorously.

The soft tip of the tongue issued an invitation to dance together, and fierce sparks burst out from the swirling licking.

Shi Zhou felt like he was in a high-pressure heating environment, and could easily melt into Sheng Yanwen's arms.But he couldn't help but respond, wanting his lover to drag him into a deeper abyss.

The emotional sobs hit the eardrums, making people want to stop more and more.

A kiss is over.

Shi Zhou felt his voice was still trembling, "Have my kissing skills improved?"

Sheng Yanwen tilted his head and kissed his birthmark, his voice was hoarse, "Yes, our Zhouzhou has improved a lot."

Shi Zhou bowed his head and kissed his lover's Adam's apple, smiling contentedly.

Sheng Yanwen hugged him and calmed himself down for a while, when he heard Shi Zhou go back to the previous topic, "Cheng Xian can't just let it go."

Although he didn't want to be involved in the conflict between Zhang Xuxi and Cheng Xian, the good Luran back then almost ruined his whole life because of Cheng Xian's jealousy and tricks, so he couldn't just act as a bystander.

Sheng Yanwen followed his thoughts, "Then what do you want to do?"

Shi Zhou leaned on his shoulder and confided in a low voice, "Treat me with my own way."

No video and recording?

Others may not have it, but he still has his baby Xiaoshiwu.
