Rebirth Turn - Chapter 34
When Lu Yan heard the news, he was stunned for a moment.
Qin Feng slapped him on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Why, Le is stupid? Can’t you react?”
Lu Yan shook his head and smiled, “A little surprised.”
Qin Feng continued, “Yeah, I’m also quite surprised. It was a good idea, but suddenly he changed his mind and said that he was going to re-audit. He thought it was over, and there was another twist. I think there must be some truth in it, But anyway, we won this play, and it’s worth celebrating.”
Lu Yan nodded absentmindedly, “Well, not bad.” After thinking about it, he said, “Brother Feng, I have something to do, can you help me push today’s announcement?”
Qin Feng noticed that his expression was not right, “What’s wrong? You don’t look very happy, is there something wrong?”
Lu Yan smiled reluctantly, “Just deal with some personal matters.”
“Alright then, you can go, there is no announcement that you must go today, I will push it for you.” Although Qin Feng was puzzled, he respected Lu Yan’s privacy and quickly agreed.
“That will trouble Brother Feng.” After Lu Yan finished speaking, he got up and left.
He walked downstairs and took a deep breath. Lu Yan took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. There was a familiar ringtone on the phone. This was what Lu Yan suggested casually when he asked. The phone number did not change the ringtone.
When the ringing was about to stop, the phone was finally picked up. The voice from the other end was familiar but a little more hoarse than usual, and the tone was particularly deep, “Hello, who is it?”
I don’t know if the other party didn’t show it or didn’t save his number at all.
Lu Yan’s eyes were quietly cast in the distance. There were two teenagers over there, holding each other’s shoulders. One of them was holding a basketball in his arms. His tone was very calm, “It’s me, Lu Yan.”
The other end of the phone smiled sharply, “It’s you, what else are you looking for from me?”
Lu Yan still said lightly, “Where are you? I have something to ask you.”
“Just in time, I also want to tell you something,” the other end of the phone said after a while, “I’m at home, come here.” After that, he gave an address.
Lu Yan hung up the phone, put down the phone slowly, and when he looked at it, the figures of the two teenagers had disappeared.
Lu Yan took a taxi to the address mentioned by Xu Yongzhou. He was sitting in the back seat of the car wearing sunglasses. The driver did not like to chat with customers like a normal taxi driver. Lu Yan thought he did not recognize him. It was not until the fare was paid that the driver suddenly took out a notebook and a pen, and asked a little shyly that his daughter was a fan of Lu Yan, could he sign it for him. Lu Yan smiled slightly, took the notebook and pen, asked the driver’s daughter’s name, then wrote a few words of blessing, signed his name, and the driver happily took it.
No matter how heavy your heart is, you must maintain a good demeanor when facing fans. As an artist, this is a kind of self-cultivation, and it is also a professional quality.
The doubt that has been haunting him since his rebirth may be revealed today. Lu Yan couldn’t tell whether he expected more or was helpless.
When he rang the doorbell, Lu Yan felt that his heart was very calm, so calm that it was not like asking a teacher to ask for guilt, but just to visit an old friend. In fact, he just came to ask a few questions.
The door opened soon. Xu Yongzhou was still wearing the same shirt from yesterday’s audition. He was already wrinkled, with bloodshot eyes. He looked like he hadn’t slept all night, his hair was messy, and his face was expressionless. He looked messy and embarrassed at the moment. Xu Yongzhou, who was always sunny and confident in his impression, seemed to disappear overnight.
After Xu Yongzhou opened the door, he glanced at Lu Yan and turned to enter without even saying hello.
Lu Yan followed in silence and closed the door.
Xu Yongzhou sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette. The coffee table beside the sofa was full of cigarette butts, and there was a choking smell of smoke in the room. When they were at school together, they smoked occasionally, but rarely and without addiction.
Such Xu Yongzhou was something Lu Yan had never seen before.
Xu Yongzhou blew out a smoke ring, and his voice was hoarse as soon as he opened his mouth, “Tell me, what do you want to ask?”
At this time, those hypocritical politeness and pretended warmth are no longer needed. Lu Yan’s tone was calm that he had never thought of, “I only have one question, why?”
Xu Yongzhou didn’t answer right away, he silently finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, then pressed it out in the ashtray of the coffee table, where the corpses of cigarettes had long been piled up.
Xu Yongzhou raised his head, with ridicule in his eyes, and his voice became sharp, “Why? You ask me why? I have been a favorite since I was a child, and everyone praised me for being good-looking, smart, and a very good person. My family. I always thought I was the best, but Lu Yan, you appeared. You obviously have nothing. I know you are an illegitimate child, and your mother is a lunatic, but you always push me like that. Your tutor likes you, your classmates love you, and you even receive a little more love letters than me.
“I’m not convinced, and I’m not reconciled. I just want to win you once, just once. But you are not only a little bit better than me, but also a little bit luckier than me. I have nothing to say about losing the audition of “Blade” to you. Yes, after that, I ran a random trick and became the second male lead, and it became an instant hit. I thought I was very lucky, but you, the high box office of two consecutive movies, the famous director Li Ran and the actor Gu Yang. I am very fond of you. I successfully signed Xingkong, and you, not only entered Xingkong, but also a gold medal broker like Qin Feng. I am also very interested in Gao Dao’s play, but he chose you without thinking. Don’t I even have the qualifications to compare with you?
“I’m not reconciled. Don’t you have Li Ran’s backing? I can find Su Jue, and it happens that he is also very interested in men. During the time I was with him, he was very kind to me, and we were in harmony. I I almost really fell in love with him, and almost thought he really fell in love with me. I called Gao Dao in his name and asked to re-audit for the role. Gao Dao agreed, and he didn’t say anything after he knew it. What, I thought he would definitely help me.”
Xu Yongzhou’s voice gradually fell, and Lu Yan could hear that he was really sad.
After a long time, Xu Yongzhou raised his head again, the bloodshot in his eyes seemed to be even more red, and he gritted his teeth and roared, “Lu Yan, what kind of charm do you have? It’s clearly me who is with him, but not only did he not stand by me. On the contrary, because I treated you like this, he broke up with me. He dumped me for you!”
At this time, Lu Yan can still think calmly, he is not for me, but for Su Mo. He had guessed the reason why Xu Yongzhou and Su Jue were together before, but now it was confirmed from the other party’s mouth, but there was an indescribable discomfort. He did not expect Xu Yongzhou’s obsession to be so deep.
Lu Yan sighed, “I didn’t want to compare anything with you.”
Xu Yongzhou smiled sharply, “Of course you haven’t thought about it, because you don’t have to compare, you are always better than me. Lu Yan, you have always been like this, your eyes are always looking upward. If you were me, forever When someone is pressing on your head, can you still be so calm?”
Lu Yan suddenly thought of the years before his rebirth. He watched Xu Yongzhou go higher and higher, while he was always in the same place. He remembered those nights when he faced the coldness of the room by himself, and was entangled by those unspeakable emotions, unable to breathe or turn over. However, one thing he can be sure of is that even if he is at the bottom of the valley, he will not do those next things. No one or anything is worthy of him to stain his own hands and subvert those insistences.
So Lu Yan said slowly, “Yes, you are right. Maybe I will be jealous, unconvinced, and unwilling to be in another place. But, no matter what, I will not betray my friends! “
When Xu Yongzhou heard the previous paragraph, he still had a sarcastic smile in his eyes, his head was slightly raised, as if he was saying, look, you and I are just the same person. However, when he heard the last sentence, his face suddenly turned pale, yes, they are not the same people after all!
Lu Yan glanced at him one last time and said calmly, “Anyway, thank you for clearing the doubts in my heart. From now on, we are no longer friends.”
Now that the face has been torn apart, it will probably be the best result.
When Lu Yan put his right hand on the doorknob and was about to open it, Xu Yongzhou suddenly called out, “Lu Yan, can you always be so calm and indifferent? I really want to see you panicking.”
Lu Yan let go of the door handle, turned around slowly, looked at Xu Yongzhou’s crazy appearance, and spat out word by word, “Even if I had that time, I wouldn’t let you see it.”
After speaking, he opened the door and left without hesitation.
Lu Yan did not take the elevator, but walked into the stairs inside the security gate. He measured the height of the 21st floor step by step. He carefully recalled the scenes of each meeting with Xu Yongzhou before his rebirth, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, because he clearly remembered that no matter how bad the situation was, he had never lost his temper in front of Xu Yongzhou. This was the only dignity he had at that time, and he protected it after all.
However, Lu Yan’s mood did not ease because of this. Since his rebirth, the answer he had always wanted to find has been obtained, and it is not so twisted and bizarre.
Lu Yan also didn’t know, which would be better if he broke with Xu Yongzhou completely, or maintained the superficial harmony. He just knew that he also didn’t want to see such a result.
Lu Yan knew that he was not such a heartless person. During the four years of getting along day and night, the sweat we shed together, we laughed and cried together, it was not all fake.
After walking the 21st floor stairs, Lu Yan’s heart was still heavy, and even his breathing seemed to be suppressed. In the summer, the sun is full, and Lu Yan walked out of the apartment building, but did not feel warm.
Until he saw the black Lexus parked quietly at the door, and the person standing in front of the car quietly looking at him. The car has been completely turned off, and it looks like it has been waiting for a while.
Su Mo was still wearing a well-cut and well-fitting suit, but at this moment the temperature in his eyes softened the seriousness and solemnity of his body. Do you know if Mr. Lu can appreciate this face?”
Lu Yan felt that his eyes were about to burst with dampness. He suppressed the momentary excitement, raised his eyebrows, and said slowly, “My pleasure.”
