actor next

Chapter 11

Qi Huan didn't hang up the phone immediately, and Qi Huan chatted with Xie Lin about other work arrangements. Xie Lin listened most of the time, humming from time to time, and added a few words when he needed to express his opinion.

When Qi Huan was talking about the next luxury endorsement, Xie Lin's phone vibrated.

Glancing at the call from Han Yan, Xie Lin was cruel, and hung up without hesitation. This person is not good at drinking, and he likes to call people one by one when he drinks too much. Xie Lin didn't take it seriously The idea of ​​free chat with big brother.

Originally, according to the usual habit, after hanging up a few times, Han Yan would give up his plan to harass him, and instead go to nagging someone else.

Today, Han Yan seemed to be at odds with him, calling one after another, as if he would not give up until he answered.

Xie Lin glanced at the time on the upper right corner of the phone, it was 37:[-] in the morning.

He told Qi Huan to wait a moment, and was about to drag the person directly to the blacklist to be blocked. The next second, a series of new messages popped up on the WeChat interface.

[Han Yan]: "Quickly answer the phone!"

[Han Yan]: "I have something to tell you."

【Han Yan】: "Business."

Xie Lin got up and poured himself a glass of water, and couldn't help but click his tongue when he saw the news on the screen, thinking that Han Yan's skill point of harassing others in the middle of the night has actually advanced, and he knows to find a reason first.

Just as I was about to click the upper left corner to return, another new message popped up.

【Han Yan】: "This time it's true! It's about your son."

Xie Lin's fingers paused, and half a second later, he turned to Qi Huan and said, "Hang up first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow if we have something to do. I'll make a call."

Although he didn't know what it was, Xie Lin had already spoken, so Qi Huan naturally had no objection.

After hanging up the phone, Xie Lin called Han Yan directly.

"It can be regarded as answering the phone. You are too heartless. Can I call you so late and have nothing to do to harass you?" Han Yan answered the phone and couldn't help feeling aggrieved for himself: "I But it's all for you!"

Before Xie Lin could speak, Han Yan murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "As soon as Qi Bandit was mentioned, he called me directly, saying that you didn't have an affair, and the devil would believe it."

"I promised Qi Bandit not to tell you, but I tossed and turned in bed, thinking about it..." Han Yan frowned, and said directly: "I still think I should tell you."

Xie Lin: "What's the matter?"

"I called Qi Bandit just now. I drank a little too much. I didn't speak properly. I owed a bit." Han Yan's voice lowered unconsciously: "...I asked him if he likes you, or is he with you before?" There is a paragraph."

Xie Lin paused.

Before Xie Lin could speak, Han Yan continued: "I was just joking and asking casually, but he told me that he had never been together."

"Then doesn't that mean admitting that I like you?" Han Yan hesitated for a moment, "I didn't want to tell you, after all, no one knows if you have any intentions for Qi Bandit. No matter how embarrassing it is, but..."

Han Yan sighed, "But then I found out another thing. I think that if I didn't tell you, I'm afraid that Qi Bandit would not take the initiative to mention it to you because of his personality. Then it would be a bit unfair to him."

"They are both old foxes who have been around for thousands of years, and I am too lazy to chat with you. What I mean is, we have known each other for so many years. From what I know about you, you are definitely not homophobic, and I always feel that you are not afraid of that boy Qi Bandit." Interesting, so—”

Han Yan hadn't finished speaking.

Xie Lin raised his eyes, looked at the scenery outside the window and interrupted: "He really said that?"

Han Yan nodded without thinking, "That's for sure, don't you know my wines? Even if you drink too much, your memory will not be bad. That's what he said, and he didn't change a single word."

Xie Lin showed no mercy, and said coldly: "Then who was drunk last time, frantically wanted to sign autographs for passers-by on the street, and refused to let go when others didn't need it?"

Han Yan: "..."

He drank too much that time, and recalled the experience of filming in the entertainment industry back then, who is still young, and when they debuted, they were all idols sought after by thousands of fans.

As a result, Han Yan was recalling the glorious years. The new waiter at the club came shyly and timidly to ask Xie Lin for a photo. Sitting together.

Han Yan didn't come up in one breath at that time, and almost lost his breath.

He is just one year older than Xie Lin, hasn't he just worked hard for the company's affairs these past few years? At the last stop, girls of all ages who can flirt are crazy.

After all, he is also the one who won the best actor, although... that was many years ago.

Han Yan knew that the path he chose was his own choice, so he wouldn't be entangled in such a trivial matter, but after fading out of the big screen and finding that he has been forgotten by many people, he will inevitably feel a little bit uncomfortable in the future.

I forgot how much I drank that day, and I didn't remember what I did. When I was called out by my assistant the next day when I was in a daze, I realized that I was directly on the trending search, and I was thrown out of the circle in embarrassment.

Han Yan didn't allow others to mention this matter at all. Normally, a vicious and ruthless person like Xie Lin would take the opportunity to ridicule him, but now he is really not in the mood.

He has more important questions to ask.

Xie Lin raised his eyes and looked at the photo frame next to the TV cabinet not far away, "What else did he say?"

"What is the thing you said that Qi Bandit would not take the initiative to mention to me?"

When it came to the business, Han Yan immediately put the matter behind him, and said seriously: "Do you know why Xie Lin changed his career to be a director and went abroad to develop?"

This side of the phone.

Xie Lin exhaled lightly, closed his eyes, and said after a while: "Because of me."

Han Yan choked on the second half of the sentence "because of you", he was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "... so you know?"

"I don't know. To be precise, I'm not sure." Xie Lin paused and said softly, "It was just a guess before."

Four years ago, Qi Bandit's change was too sudden.

It is clear that he is a young artist who will shine brightly in front of the camera, and his stardom is open. As long as he continues along this road, there is no doubt that he will have a bright future and star-studded.

But he just doesn't want to.

Having been with that wolf cub for more than half a year, Xie Lin asked himself that he understood him, yes, this is indeed something that the young master can do, but the timing of the incident is somewhat unusual.

Xie Lin remembered very clearly that the time when Qi Bandit announced that he would stop filming and turn to behind-the-scenes to become a director, happened to be when an artist in the entertainment industry was photographed by the dog team dating a same-sex couple, and his future was ruined.

After that incident happened, Bandit Qi also asked him: What if you fall in love with a man in this circle?At that time, Xie Lin casually told him, then stand taller and don't let your destiny be controlled by others.

So Bandit Qi left, boarded the plane to the United States, and started again in a completely unfamiliar field amidst countless doubts and criticisms.

Xie Lin was almost certain that the reason why Qi Bandit turned to be a director was to find someone.

But is that person himself...

At that time, Xie Lin couldn't be sure.

Until Qi Bandit returned to China, he received the script from him.

Han Yan didn't understand, "What do you mean by just guessing? Could it be that the two of you really had a relationship back then?! Wow, it sounds so lingering, sadomasochistic and deeply in love."

"Yes." Xie Lin walked to the window with his mobile phone, and suddenly smiled: "We almost got together."

Peeling off a piece of candy and putting it in his mouth, Xie Lin said calmly: "After the production team wrapped up, I was going to test it out to see if he had any thoughts about me in that regard."

"Try together if you have one, and don't force it if you don't. Even if he's not interested in me, since the production team is finished anyway, it won't be embarrassing to meet."

Xie Lin smiled lightly, and bit the candy in his mouth: "But before I could do anything, the little wolf cub announced that he would change careers and become a director, and went abroad."

Han Yan: "!!!"

Han Yan: "You fell in love with Bandit Qi when you were filming????? What kind of big news is this bombing the entertainment industry!"

Han Yan suddenly felt that the amount of information he received that night was too much, and his brain capacity was a little too heavy: "You mean, you also like Qi Bandits, and you were going to take the initiative? Wow, I've known you for so many years, I'm stunned I didn't see it at all, you old fox is really... so you and that boy Qi Bandit missed four years. Fortunately, I called you today, otherwise maybe you two will continue to have sex. When is it time for the mandarin couple to report, every inch of time is worth every inch of gold."

Xie Lin didn't speak.

He really didn't know at the beginning whether Qi Bandit's going abroad to become a director had something to do with him, but in the past few years, he also watched with his own eyes that the wolf cub developed step by step in the direction he casually pointed out back then, and watched him walk step by step to the top of the industry.

Xie Lin still remembers one time when he returned home from a celebration banquet, it was already late at that time, he drank some wine, his stomach was not feeling well, and he was groggy, and he opened it while he was resting on the sofa. TV.

At that time, Qi Bandit's movie promotion was being broadcast on TV. When introducing Qi Bandit, some interview videos of him abroad were edited.

There is a passage in it, which is a collection of Qi Bandit's acceptance speeches when he won awards at major foreign film festivals.

Standing on the podium, the young and talented director with countless reputations is illuminated by countless spotlights, and his whole body seems to be shining. From the first movie, to the second, to the third, no matter how many trophies he gets , the first sentence he said on the podium is always:

"I want to thank one person, because of that person, I will come here."

I can't describe the feeling of that moment.

I don't know how to express it.

Xie Lin suddenly felt that even if he wasn't sure whether Qi Bandit went abroad to become a director because of him, he should ask himself.

Ask if that's what he thinks.

Ask Qi Bandit if he also fell in love with him a few years ago.

He has never been a hesitant and hypocritical person.

Therefore, he informed Qi Huan that he would no longer accept new scripts after filming the previously signed film contract, and he started to develop overseas, and asked Qi Huan to find a suitable foreign director's script.

However, before he walked up to him to confirm it personally, Qi Bandit had already returned to the country.

"They're all secretly in love with each other, and the two are happy," Han Yan felt that he was more anxious than the Lord, and couldn't help urging: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and get together!"

As he was talking, Han Yan couldn't help but sighed and regretted, "If Bandit Qi hadn't gone abroad, maybe you two would have gone abroad to get your marriage certificate."

"That's right." Xie Lin chuckled, and smiled: "Father rarely changes his mind. Back then, I was ready to start flirting, but he ran away."

"But it's pretty good." Xie Lin raised his eyes, and his eyes fell on the photo frame not far away again. In the photo frame was a group photo of him and Qi Bandit when they were filming the same movie a few years ago.

At that time, Bandit Qi was less than 20 years old and had only one child.

Young is like a ray of sunshine.

But who would have thought that such a child who is not even 20 years old can really give up everything he already has in China and go to a strange foreign country to start a new life when he is not sure about anything, and he doesn't even understand the other party's intentions. start?

He really spent four years without saying a word, just like Xie Lin said casually back then.

Stand on a high place, and walk towards him when you have the ability to control your own destiny and protect the other party.

"It's so good," Han Yan was curious, "Now that you know Qi Bandit's intentions, what are you going to do? When will we be together?"

"Since everyone is back, don't worry about being together." Xie Lin smiled: "And I'm quite curious."

Taking out another candy, Xie Lin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows wearing a house coat, and the hug with Bandit Qi at the hotel tonight came to mind.

It's not that he didn't know that the wolf cub's refusal to let go after hugging him for a long time was intentional.

But he didn't break it.

It's been a long time since I hugged Qi Bandit.

I haven't seen him for a few years, and Qi Bandit is much taller than him. Although he hugged him a little tighter, Xie Lin felt quite comfortable, like soaking in a hot spring.

"Talk, it's fun to hang on to me!" On the other end of the phone, Han Yan's curiosity was overflowing, but Xie Lin didn't speak for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Why are you not in a hurry to get together? What are you curious about? Why don't you tell me?" .”

"Don't you think it's interesting for Qi Bandit to find out that I like him too?" Xie Lin bit the candy in his mouth and chuckled, "And I'm really curious."

"Curious about how my son is going to tease me."
