Sweetness: S

Chapter 41

While Zhao Chen was happy, he kept a low profile carefully.The domestic tolerance for homosexuality is not high, and being too ostentatious will only quickly extinguish his enthusiasm for being praised by the masses by the high-level people.

Therefore, Ning Shuangxi received much fewer announcements than another leading actor who was also popular.Even if it does, it’s just some talk shows and magazine shoots, and the advertisements are carefully selected with quality. In the end, his exposure rate is not much higher than before the movie became popular.

Ning Shuangxi was very grateful for Zhao Chen's care.

It's not that the agency didn't put pressure on him. An artist who has been around for five or six years and finally has a day of making money, how can he not squeeze it desperately?Out of hundreds of announcements, you, Zhao Chen, only selected less than a quarter, how could it be worthy of the company's previous investment?

Zhao Chen could only reason with the higher-ups, and when it didn't make sense, he just had to bite the bullet and go to Fang Yuan—this gold broker had much stronger contacts in the circle than him, even if he wasn't from the same company, as long as he was willing to help , can still have a certain influence.

When Liang Tianyi took the initiative to call and put down his attitude and said he was willing to start over, Fang Yuan had already looked at Ning Shuangxi with admiration.He had always been worried that Liang Tianyi would have major setbacks in his star journey because of the young master's temper, but before it got worse, God gave him an inhibitor.Now that the inhibitor is in trouble, of course he wants to help.

With Fangyuan's multi-party coordination, Zhao Chen's unremitting lobbying, and Ning Shuangxi's performance has been good. After considering various factors, the upper management finally accepted Zhao Chen's plan.

Two weeks after the film was released, the total box office basically guaranteed a base of 1000 million.

As a niche film, it not only saved its capital but also made money, which made Guan Zeru breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, the audience on Hong Kong Island alone cannot reach this figure. At least one-third of the box office is from LGBT groups and fans of Guan Zeru who came to watch the movie from the mainland.Although it is not as good as the film tourism economics of a certain tertiary film back then, this box office at least proves that the film is of good quality.

The continuous ferment of word-of-mouth finally allowed the film to get feedback when it was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Tokyo Film Festival.

Hearing that she was going to walk the red carpet with the director, Ning Shuangxi panicked.The company arranged for him to be sponsored by the best clothing brand. In order to make him more photogenic, Zhao Chen strictly controlled his diet and also arranged for a physical trainer.

Everyone was nervous, which made Ning Shuangxi even more nervous.When he was on the phone with Liang Tianyi in the middle of the night, he repeatedly asked him what happened when he walked the red carpet at the MTV Music Festival abroad. Liang Tianyi actually couldn't remember so many details a long time ago, so he could only open his eyes and talk nonsense to comfort him.

"What time do you arrive in Tokyo?" Liang Tianyi couldn't get any further, so he changed the topic.

"Six o'clock in the evening on the fifth."

"Which hotel are you staying at?"

"Let me see...the empire?"

"There's a nice cake shop there, I'll send you the address." Before the other party got suspicious, Liang Tianyi naturally threw out an excuse.

How could Ning Shuangxi, who was nervous all over her body and mind, think so much, she really thought that the other party was recommending delicious food, and shook her head desperately: "No, no, no, Zhao Chen will collapse if I eat a bite of biscuit these days, let alone cake."

Liang Tianyi chuckled. He stared at the young man on the screen who was obviously thinner than before, and said, "You really look better than before."

This flirtatious tone is really a bit awkward.Ning Shuangxi stalked for a while, and could only respond: "I'm never as good-looking as you."

"Then guest officer, do you still like it?" Liang Tianyi put on a provocative pose

"..." Ning Shuangxi found shamefully that she hadn't vented for too long, and she could get hard just like that.

"You're hard." Unexpectedly, the person on the other end could see through the truth from his slight movement.

"...No." Ning Shuangxi denied it with a wooden face.

"Then stand up and have a look?"

After dating him for so long, why didn't I find that he has this kind of essence?Ning Shuangxi turned off the computer forcefully, violently cutting off the communication between the two.

Then she blushed and got up and went to the toilet.

Under the preparations of a group of people, Ning Shuangxi finally arrived in Tokyo two days early with anxiety.The rest of the crew would not gather until the day they walked the red carpet. Prior to that, Ning Shuangxi simply stepped in ahead of time to make preparations.

For the first dinner after arriving at the hotel, Ning Shuangxi left Zhao Chen and went to the cake shop that Liang Tianyi introduced by herself.

It's not that he wants to eat cake so much, but that he wants to at least be able to honestly answer "delicious" or "not in the taste" when the other party asks.

Long-distance love is not an easy task. Liang Tianyi has the anxiety of being gradually left behind, and Ning Shuangxi also has the worry of the relationship fading.

In many cases, two people who are separated by a distance do not have a common living environment and life theme. In the end, what can be discussed is only some trivial things from the past. After all these topics have been discussed, no amount of hard work can ignite. Former enthusiasm.

There is no other way to sustain the relationship than to create more common ground.

Once one party wants to give up because of fatigue, this weak rope will break at any time.

He ordered two cakes that Liang Tianyi highly recommended. In order not to let Zhao Chen talk about it, he could only sit in the dining room and eat them all before going back.But before eating, you must take two photos and send them to Liang Tianyi to prove that you have lived up to his kindness.

Not long after the photo was sent, there were two sounds of receiving the message from behind.

He didn't notice, he just tasted the cake slowly, and then walked out of the cake shop, ready to take a walk outside to digest food.

It's just that he never expected that he would be held hostage even in the Imperial Hotel.

When a hand covered his eyes from behind, Ning Shuangxi subconsciously wanted to call out, but the voice that reached his ears in the next second completely took away his strength to stand up.

"Hush, sir, come to my room to play?" The voice was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar, with a little smile and slyness, and the faint smell of perfume on his wrist also confirmed his identity.Ning Shuangxi really wanted to break away his hand to check, but the other party kissed his ear from behind viciously, making him useless even this little struggle.

The air curled up by a low smile brushed over the ears, making Ning Shuangxi burn from the back of her neck to her whole body. "Go forward, be careful of the elevator." The man seemed to like this state very much, blindfolded his eyes all the time, and ordered him to walk back and forth, left and right.

"...There are cameras in the elevator, you will be called to the police if you do this." Ning Shuangxi finally calmed down a little in the elevator.

"Then give me a kiss and prove to them that we are just playing a fun game." Unexpectedly, this person who went to study in the United States first learned American flirting to the fullest.

"Kiss me! Let me go!" Ning Shuangxi finally became angry, and bumped her elbows back. Liang Tianyi could only let go of him, and then took a step, turned to his side, and kissed him quickly. cheek.

The loud kiss made Ning Shuangxi take a big step back, and stared at him blushingly. The surprise of the reunion was diluted in the continuous molestation, leaving only the anger at the bully who molested the boy from a good family: "Liang Tianyi, you just started following me!" Me, don't I?"

"Then guess when you started to follow?" The person who was exposed was very proud.

"Restaurant?" He really guessed.

I was guessed right away.Liang Tianyi's smile froze for a second, but refused to admit defeat and continued to deny with a smile: "Guess again?"

"I got it."

"..." I am really only suitable for singing.

Liang Tianyi lives in Block B, and Ning Shuangxi is not in the same building at all. The two of them kissed each other as soon as they entered the room. If it wasn't for Zhao Chen's phone call, the two of them probably wouldn't even have to talk to each other directly. run to bed.

Ning Shuangxi coughed twice, quickly adjusted her breath, and explained very calmly that she was going to watch a kabuki performance and return to the hotel later, amidst the harassment of Liang Tianyi's kissing and touching.

After hanging up the phone, the young man who performed well just now immediately asked Liang Tianyi, "Have you seen a Kabuki performance?"

"...No." Although he came to Japan a lot, he had never even been to Kabukicho.

The two were a little excited when they kissed each other, but this phone call broke up the charming atmosphere in an instant.After looking at each other for a while, Ning Shuangxi suddenly smiled: "I will rest tomorrow."

"I know." He never concealed his itinerary.That's why Liang Tianyi was able to catch him without any difficulty.

"Since it's inconvenient during the day, we should make full use of the time at night." Ning Shuangxi raised his eyebrows, "How about going to a performance?"

See you after bed, what's the difference between this kind of itinerary and friends with benefits?

Liang Tianyi also laughed. "It's eight o'clock. Would you like to come back at twelve o'clock?"

Ning Shuangxi subconsciously shrank her buttocks at the voice.

He always felt that after this person went to the United States, he became less and less able to hide the bad part of himself.Is this true self state caused by leaving the spotlight?

In the end, Ning Shuangxi couldn't remember exactly what performance she saw that night.

Because the bed-rolling activity after returning to the hotel burned all his sanity, Liang Tianyi proved with actions that he had no intentions outside, and Ning Shuangxi tightly grasped the sheets with both hands, the sheets were almost soaked in sweat.

The long-lost intimacy lasted from midnight to the wee hours of the morning, and only these two people who exercised regularly could do such nonsense for such a long time without being exhausted.

When Ning Shuangxi woke up and opened her eyes, what she saw was a picture of a beautiful boy coming out of the bath.

I heard that he was studying fitness in the United States, but he couldn't help being amazed when he saw this tight body.In contrast, the act of cramping my feet in order to wear a good suit can only make that little bit of fat disappear.

Liang Tianyi walked over with only a bath towel on, sat on the edge of the bed, rubbed his waist and asked flatteringly, "Would you like to have lunch with me?"

"...Nope." Ning Shuangxi struggled to get up, but his overuse of the waist finally gave him retribution, he gasped, and could only lay down on the bed.

Covered with a warm towel, Liang Tianyi smiled obediently, not at all like the beast last night: "I ordered room service at noon, and I also told Zhao Chen that his heart is ashamed now, and he doesn't care about it." of."

...You can tell what you have done with your heart ashamed?Ning Shuangxi could even imagine her manager's expression after learning the truth, and subconsciously felt that her back pain seemed to be getting worse.

I haven't seen each other for a long time, I thought there would be a lot to say, but when I saw it, I felt that a lot of things were actually finished in the daily videos, and what they lacked was a real hug.

Liang Tianyi hugged him in his arms, put his head on his back, and watched the TV program that only spoke Japanese with him quietly.

"I want to start over." After holding back for a long time, he finally spoke to him.

Ning Shuangxi was very surprised, turned her head to look at him, but found that the other party happened to be where she couldn't see.

"Again?" Although they were hacked a bit too much, with the current public relations methods, it is not difficult to clean up. Some idols who have been hacked to pieces are still making a comeback now?But what is the concept of starting over?

"Change the place, or change the way. I will definitely come back." I will never let them knead like this again.

He used to think that he knew enough people and his status was enough for him to be a fish in water in this circle.After the storm really blows over, the crushing reality tells him that his foundation is so shallow that he can't even keep himself.The idea of ​​taking Ning Shuangxi under his wing to protect him was ridiculously naive.

The blow of being humiliated in public is enough to make him remember his whole life. Compared with being sad, he only has revenge in his heart.He wants to let those guys who casually manipulate other people's future know what retribution is.

Ning Shuangxi felt the forbearance of the people behind him, couldn't help turning over, and patted his head to comfort him silently.

A long time ago, he worried about what would happen to this proud little prince if he suffered setbacks one day.

Fortunately, the results weren't too bad.Even if this greenhouse flower loses its current petals after a storm, sooner or later a new bud will grow.

In the evening, when Ning Shuangxi finally returned to her room, Zhao Chen called immediately.

"Have you had enough rest?" He asked resentfully.

"Well, we can leave on time tomorrow." Ning Shuangxi controlled her guilty conscience very well.

"Is he gone?"

"……No."

"But you're going back to China the morning after tomorrow." Although the couple will be struck by lightning if they break up, they will be exposed to the spotlight all day tomorrow. Could it be that this young master still wants to wait until midnight?Zhao Chen had a toothache from anxiety.

Thinking of Liang Tianyi saying in the afternoon, "I want to see with my own eyes how you win the award on stage", Ning Shuangxi felt a lot of pressure.

So when he sat at the scene of the award ceremony, he just focused on finding where Liang Tianyi was. All the nervousness and stiffness that he expected before were all drifted away in his mind of finding someone.

Guan Zeru was sitting next to him, seeing his appearance, he whispered in his ear: "Looking for someone?"

Ning Shuangxi suddenly turned her head to look at him, "How do you know" that couldn't be concealed on her face.

He is obviously an excellent actor, but he can't hide his thoughts.Guan Zeru smiled lowly, and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "If you look any further, others will find out where he is. Don't worry, as long as you stand on that stage, he will see you."

Ning Shuangxi suppressed her slightly beating heart, straightened her body, and let her most perfect self fall into the eyes of the media.

After a while, the phone vibrated in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was from Liang Tianyi: Look up, even if you can't win the prize, at least the camera will take two more frontal photos, right?

Ning Shuangxi laughed, and couldn't help but look up again.

Liang Tianyi was still not found.I really don't know where this guy got the tickets.

After waiting for four or five hours, when the award presenter read out the English name of "The Voice from Upstairs", Ning Shuangxi was so stupid that he forgot to stand up. In the end, other people pulled him up and hugged and cheered together.

"I knew it, I knew it! We were the best!" The blunted excitement made him forget that his performance was being broadcast live, but who cared?The movie he starred in won an international award!

He forgot all about what he did after accepting the award and interviewing.

The only thing he remembered was that after he finished everything, he left Zhao Chen, went straight to the place they had agreed upon, and then threw himself into Liang Tianyi's arms.

"When I held up the trophy, I really wanted to show you this trophy...Next time, next time you must sit where I can see it, and I will show it to you, definitely..." Ning Shuangxi was so excited that her body was shaking.He clenched his hand tightly, as if the trophy representing the glory of the filmmaker was still in his hand.

Liang Tianyi was smiling happily, but when he heard this sentence, he was suddenly stunned.

Now he is actually a little afraid of such a promise.

It's just that the person who hugged him tightly didn't seem to doubt his ability at all, and was still excitedly thinking about the future of the two of them, even though he might not even be able to appear on TV shows now.

"Yeah." Liang Tianyi buried his head in his shoulder, and extinguished all self-doubt in his heart.
