Chapter 41 Part 2: Don’t Cry
At that time, Feng Yan had said that if this film was not played by Yu Weixi, then he would not act in it either. He had even specially come to find me, hoping that I could help, and had talked to me for a long time.
In the end, I still agreed to help. I used my wife’s funds to sponsor Director Jiang and insisted on keeping Yu Weixi to play this role. So, Yu Weixi getting the role of the merman had nothing to do with investors. It had to do with me and Feng Yan. This can’t be faked. It can be found out with a simple check.
Finally, I still want to apologize to Feng Yan here. Because of this matter at that time, Feng Yan owed me a favor, so he agreed to my son’s filming of Linglong Jade. This terrible film is my son’s debut work. I’ve made a fool of myself. I will definitely educate him properly in the future. I’ve implicated Feng Yan. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.
…
Because of the director’s Weibo post, the tide of public opinion immediately changed a little.
Before, everyone had insisted that Yu Weixi and President Li had gotten together for the role, but the director’s words had directly shattered this possibility, and it even seemed that there was another hidden story.
Luo Yucheng became the main target of Yu Weixi’s fans.
Although there was no evidence, according to what Zheng Xinhe had said, it could be inferred that the one who had had a one-night stand with President Li back then was not Yu Weixi but Luo Yucheng!
Weren’t there too many suspicious points in this matter?
Some people even felt that the “Xixi” in that video might not be Yu Weixi, but Luo Yucheng. But the other evidence all pointed to Yu Weixi, so it was full of doubts.
…
Yu Weixi ignored those comments and the tide of public opinion. Yu Weixi just held his phone, his mind full of Zheng Xinhe’s words.
Back then…
Back then, after Luo Yucheng and President Li had completed their transaction, the role was indeed not meant for him. But in the end, it had still inexplicably returned to his hands. It turned out… it wasn’t accumulated luck, but because of… Feng Yan!
After going downstairs, his mind had finally calmed down. At this moment, Yu Weixi’s mind went blank again.
Yu Weixi stared blankly at the Weibo post in front of him, as if in a dream.
Back then, it was Feng Yan who had stubbornly insisted on him acting. And now, it was also because of him that Feng Yan had acted in a terrible drama.
He had never been without a response…
“Sir, sir!”
The person behind him pointed to the juice machine and reminded him, “It’s your turn.”
…
“Bang!”
Feng Yan looked up and saw Yu Weixi returning in a hurry.
Seeing that Yu Weixi’s hands were empty, Feng Yan smiled. “Sold out?”
Only then did Yu Weixi come back to his senses and look at his hands blankly.
He had been in a hurry to come back and had forgotten.
“It’s okay. I don’t want to drink it anymore either.” Feng Yan shrugged, stood up, and said, “Let’s go home.”
“Feng Yan.”
The two got in the car. Yu Weixi was driving. Yu Weixi held the steering wheel and finally couldn’t help but speak.
“Why did you ask Director Zheng to have me play that role before?”
Feng Yan was a little troubled.
He still asked.
He was also a little surprised to see that Weibo post from Zheng Xinhe, because he had only asked Zheng Xinhe to say that he had personally overseen the casting back then, and had even asked him not to mention him.
But he hadn’t expected Zheng Xinhe to reveal everything, without any reservations.
He must have felt guilty and wanted to apologize for his son.
“Mmm… because I felt you were the most suitable, and that role was originally yours.” Feng Yan rubbed his nose. “It would be too unfair to let investors decide the roles.”
Yu Weixi looked straight at Feng Yan.
Feng Yan cleared his throat. The old man’s face was a little embarrassed for a rare moment.
The first time he saw that recording, saw the young boy he had met in a foreign country in his youth, he could no longer accept acting with anyone else.
The young boy’s eyes were as determined as before, making Feng Yan unable to help but want to help him.
“Xixi… eh?”
Just as Feng Yan was about to say something, he turned his head and saw Yu Weixi burying his head in the steering wheel, his hands tightly covering his face.
“Xixi, you…”
“Get lost, don’t look at me.” Yu Weixi turned his back to Feng Yan, his voice thick with a sob.
“Xixi…”
Yu Weixi took out his phone and called his assistant, seeming to want to contact Feng Yan’s assistant to pick him up.
Feng Yan raised an eyebrow and decisively covered his hand. “Ouch…!”
Yu Weixi was taken aback and subconsciously turned his head.
Feng Yan held his wrist. “It hurts so much, hiss…”
At the same time, Feng Yan noticed Yu Weixi’s red nose and wet eyes.
“Wh, where does it hurt?”
Yu Weixi frantically grabbed Feng Yan’s hand to look. “Isn’t it already taken care of? Do you want to go up and see the doctor again?”
“No, I’m lying to you.”
“Ah…?”
“I’m lying to you.” Feng Yan rubbed his nose. He saw Yu Weixi like this and couldn’t bear to continue to lie to him.
“You… you dog B, why don’t you go to hell!” Yu Weixi stared at Feng Yan blankly. The single tear in his eye thus rolled down.
Feng Yan reached out and wiped the moisture from the corner of Yu Weixi’s eye with his thumb. He said in a low voice, “Silly Xixi… don’t cry.”
“I’m not…!” Yu Weixi sniffled, his whole face flushed with anger. “You bastard! You bastard!”
“Right, I’m a bastard.” Feng Yan leaned over and directly hugged Yu Weixi, pressing his head into his chest.
Yu Weixi bit his lower lip hard, trying to suck his tears back.
So embarrassing…!
“Silly Xixi.” Feng Yan gently patted Yu Weixi’s back.
“You, you’re the silly one…” Yu Weixi said fiercely, “I’m so fierce to you and you still come to pester me every day. Shameless.”
Feng Yan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He said gently, “Because I know that the favored have nothing to fear. You trust me, so you treat me like this. I’m very happy, because I’m special.”
“Xixi, I won’t leave.”
…
Four years ago, the wrap party.
Yu Weixi stood on the side, a little absent-minded, the red wine glass in his hand swaying.
He… might be about to die.
Yu Weixi still couldn’t accept it.
Just a few hours ago, he had gone to the hospital for a check-up because he wasn’t feeling well. The result was cancer.
Terminal cancer.
The doctor had told him to be prepared, or if he wasn’t willing to give up, he could continue to do chemotherapy.
Yu Weixi held the wine glass tightly.
He was only twenty…
Everything had just begun… even, even The Coast hadn’t been released yet!
How could this be?
Yu Weixi stared at his own feet, lost in thought.
Suddenly, a conversation came from not far away. Yu Weixi heard a familiar voice in it.
Feng Yan was standing on the side, talking and laughing with someone.
Yu Weixi’s lips moved, but he still didn’t go to say hello.
He might be about to die.
He was about to die. Should he do something crazy before he died?
For example… confess.
He had liked him for so many years, chased his star for so many years. Shouldn’t he be brave for once?
“Xixi.” Feng Yan took the initiative to come and say hello, smiling. “What’s wrong? You’re so listless.”
Yu Weixi shook his head.
After a pause, Yu Weixi said as if he were throwing caution to the wind, “Feng Yan, are you free later?”
“Mmm?”
“I have something to talk to you about.”
“Fine. We’ll go for a late-night snack after this.” Feng Yan smiled. “You’re already so thin. Don’t always think about losing weight. I’ll take you to eat something good.”
Yu Weixi just smiled.
…
“Feng Yan…?”
In the hotel room, Yu Weixi stared blankly at the man who was pressing him down on the bed.
He had seen that Feng Yan’s steps were a little unsteady and he seemed to be uncomfortable somewhere, so he had helped him into the room. But how…
Feng Yan lowered his head and bit Yu Weixi’s Adam’s apple.
“Oof…”
Yu Weixi was forced to raise his head.
Only now did he belatedly realize what had happened.
“Feng Yan…”
Yu Weixi stared at Feng Yan blankly.
In the end, Yu Weixi reached out and hugged him, letting the man do as he pleased on him.
…
A week later, Yu Weixi didn’t know what kind of mentality he was in, but he went to the set where Feng Yan was working to find him again.
Then Yu Weixi saw Luo Yucheng and Feng Yan coming in and out together.
So the rumors are true, Yu Weixi thought.
Not only had Feng Yan given Luo Yucheng resources, but the two of them were also together. Luo Yucheng now had good films on his hands, and it was only a matter of time before he became famous.
Another week passed, and Feng Yan’s interview video came out.
“Recently, many people have said that Mr. Feng, you are in a relationship. Is this true? Could it be that good news is coming soon?”
“No.” Feng Yan said with a blank expression, “I still prefer to live alone and don’t want to be in a relationship.”
“Eh…? So Mr. Feng is a bachelor?”
“I guess so. I think dating is very cumbersome, and it’s very troublesome to get used to another person. For now, my career is still the main focus.”
“Then isn’t Mr. Feng lonely living alone like this?” The host blinked and teased, “Oh my, this is not like the character you play.”
This interview was mainly for the promotion of Feng Yan’s new TV drama. In the new TV drama, the male and female leads had a one-night stand and fell in love at first sight, then their feelings grew over time and they got together.
“In reality, I probably don’t like the kind of person who uses this relationship to threaten responsibility, money, benefits, and so on. It’s too uncomfortable for me. We’re all adults. It’s a matter of mutual consent. There’s no need to keep holding on to it.”
At that time, Feng Yan had actually said this deliberately, to Luo Yucheng, who had been pestering him and hinting at resources.
After watching it, Yu Weixi thought, that’s right. The ambiguity when they were filming The Coast before was probably nothing new to Feng Yan.
He was the only one who had taken it to heart.
In the beginning, it was all his wishful thinking, Yu Weixi thought.
He was a wild child who had grown up in the backstreets. Feng Yan was a noble young master from a highly educated family. He was a wild little celebrity. Feng Yan was a young and promising Film Emperor, full of talent. They were not from the same circle.
Feng Yan was a perfect person, and therefore a bachelor with a relatively monotonous private life.
Yu Weixi had finished watching this video in the car. At that time, he had just gotten his prenatal check-up report from the hospital.
Yu Weixi paused and threw away the prenatal check-up report.
And in the end, because of the system, Yu Weixi had not died and had even successfully given birth to Niangao.
Fate is really strange, Yu Weixi thought.
…
…
“Xixi, I won’t leave.”
At this moment, in the small space, Feng Yan hugged Yu Weixi again and comforted him gently in his ear.
And then Yu Weixi really cried.
