98. Confession

Many new people were making their debut in the entertainment industry every day, and many fade into oblivion every day.

Chu Chengyuan’s debut didn’t cause much attention, but his disappearance caused a big stir in the entertainment industry.

A shadow was scanned out in Miss Chu’s head, so Chu Chengyuan was naturally in trouble. Although his mother was Mr. Chu’s love, Miss Chu had always been an apple in Mr. Chu’s eyes. Compared with an illegitimate son who had never listened to him, Miss Chu was more important.

Mrs. Chu stood by and watched while Mr. Chu was worried about the child in Chu Chengyuan’s mother’s belly, so he concealed the news of Chu Chengyuan. Now, no one could protect Chu Chengyuan.

Miss Chu’s illness might threaten her life. She cried in front of her father every day. Mr. Chu felt distressed, so his daughter’s accusing his son of murder ended up with nothing.

After taking care of all the mess, Mr. Chu blamed Chu Chengyuan for making a living by being an actor! Wasn’t it okay for him to stay at home?

Poor Chu Chengyuan, as soon as he left the door of the police station, was taken home by his father, who claimed the child had mental problems and kept him inside.

Thus, Chu Chengyuan was suddenly branded as a ‘psychopath’.

The media spread the messages so fast, coupled with Mr. Chu’s help, the news of Chu Chengyuan’s mental illness exploded in the entertainment circle the next day. Chu Chengyuan’s agent was so angry that he wanted to find an explanation from Mr. Chu but he had no way to ask the man personally! Mr. Chu didn’t agree to meet him at all!

A celebrity? A contract? How much was the penalty for breaking the contract? Just compensate! He would not let his jerk son go out to make a fool of himself again!

Thus, the third day after the “Drama” incident, the crew of “The Disguiser” finally made a statement that the supporting male had been changed.

That statement was full of grievance, which quickly noted that the crew was the biggest victim of Chu Chengyuan’s incident. Having finished half of the shooting, they suddenly discovered the actor to be mentally handicapped. They were also victims.

The Sunshine Era had always been speaking with strength, and never deliberately promoted the shows and dramas they made. This time, it lost the supporting male in chaotic situations. The wheel of fortune was unpredictable.

However, the crew acted very fast. On the afternoon of the announcement, Chu Chengyuan’s replacer had already joined the crew and began to work.

The replacer was an actor from China Entertainment. He had participated in several events with seniors but had no real representative work. This time, “The Disguiser” was an opportunity for him.

However, for the incident of Chu Chengyuan, everyone gave a wide berth to the newcomer. Only Qi Le An showed his kindness to him because he was from the same company as Wei Chang Feng.

The name of the newcomer was also catchy, Yi Qianxing, which was like the name of the male protagonist in a romantic novel.

After the shock, the crew took half a month to return to the former pace. Because the filming scenes of Chu Chengyuan had to be remade, the overall shooting plan had to be changed.

At the beginning of August, only a third of “The Disguiser”, which was originally planned to finish the half, had been completed. Director Yang was so anxious, but it was useless. Production Supervisor Jiang lost countless hair and finally came up with the most urgent plan.

Qi Le An, as the protagonist, could only sleep for five hours a day. Every day, he was too nervous and his state became bad.

“An!” Director Yang frowned and said, “It’s not right here! Let’s take another shoot.”

Qi Le An apologized and smiled at Director Yang. The burning sun in August scorched Qi Le An’s skin, and he was dizzy.

Someone came up to apply some makeup on him, and someone came over to deliver water. After a simple adjustment, filming started again.

However, Director Yang was still not satisfied with this shooting.

Director Yang frowned in front of the monitor for a long time before sighing, “This won’t work. Take a break for half an hour.”

Then, he ignored Qi Le An and started to look back.

Qi Le An left the shooting site in silence. Chen Shan quickly came over and whispered, “How about taking a rest in the car for a while?”

Qi Le An nodded and the two of them returned to the car regardless of others.

As soon as he got into the car, Qi Le An seemed to have collapsed. Chen Shan turned on the cold air conditioner in the car without saying a word.

After a long time, Chen Shan sighed and said, “Why don’t you ask for a two-day off?”

Qi Le An smiled bitterly and finally said, “You know… It won’t work.”

Chen Shan frowned.

From half a month ago, Qi Le An’s condition started to change. Others thought he was stressed out, but Qi Le An and Chen Shan could feel the reason why he became like that.

Qi Le An found that he started to have insomnia at night, and he couldn’t concentrate on filming. It seemed like he had lost all pursuits and just muddled all day.

He knew that he couldn’t do it, but he had no choice!

It was as if he had lost the ability to act all of a sudden. There seemed to be a layer of glass between him and the characters. He could no longer understand the characters in the drama!

Qi Le An started to panic. The more he thought about it, the more he became afraid. He couldn’t sleep at night and was out of spirits during the day, so he was in a bad condition.

“You have to find out where the problem lies.” Chen Shan said, “If you can’t come round, no one can help you.”

Qi Le An smiled bitterly.

He had been at his limit for half a month, and he knew that he couldn’t continue like that anymore.

But he had no choice.

Even though he had rested for half an hour, Qi Le An’s condition still hadn’t improved. Director Yang publicly lost his temper for the second time. The first time was because of Chu Chengyuan.

“Qi Le An! What’s wrong with you?! It is the second time we have shot this scene. How can you finish like that?” Director Yang’s anger made the whole crew dare not make any sound. Qi Le An lowered his head. Jiang Xiaoyu couldn’t help saying, “Director Yang.”

Director Yang glared at Jiang Xiaoyu and Jiang Xiaoyu immediately stopped talking.

“You must adjust yourself to the right state by tomorrow. If you can’t, you’ll be replaced.” Director Yang said coldly to Qi Le An.

Qi Le An took a deep breath.

Associate Director called to stop work for the day. Everyone dared not make a loud sound, afraid to irritate the director again. Jiang Xiaoyu looked at Qi Le An, feeling worried. Qi Le An smiled and said, “It’s okay. I’ll go back and have asleep, then I’ll be alright.”

Yi Qianxing also said: “Le An, take a good rest.”

Qi Le An nodded and returned to the hotel, feeling tired. He fell asleep the moment he was on the bed.

Chen Shan couldn’t bear to wake Qi Le An up and felt helpless about this. He saw that Qi Le An had something in his heart, but he didn’t know what it was.

Could it be Chu Chengyuan? That was not right. Chu Chengyuan couldn’t cause such a huge impact on An. But it was not good for An to go on like this…

Finally, Chen Shan made up his mind and dialed a number.

Qi Le An felt that he had slept for a long time, so he picked up his phone and found it was just nine.

He sat in bed for a while before walking out of the bedroom.

After entering the living room, he was surprised to find someone sitting on the sofa. The man saw him, put down the book in his hand, and smiled. “You’re awake?”

Qi Le An’s breathing quickened, “Wei Sama?” Why are you here? I… Why didn’t you wake me up?”

Wei Chang Feng stood up and smiled. “I can’t bear to disturb you. Since you’re awake, come and eat.”

There were two insulated buckets on the coffee table. Wei Chang Feng brought his bowl of chopsticks and poured the porridge into two small bowls. He opened another insulated bucket, inside which were the fried buns and fried vegetables.

Smelling the dishes, Qi Le An felt hungry. He went to the bathroom to wash his hands and sat on the sofa. Wei Chang Feng handed the chopsticks to Qi Le An and said, “Little buns may be soft.”

Qi Le An picked up a small bun, which was crispy and sweet.

“No, it’s still crispy,” Qi Le An finished one and couldn’t help but pick up another.

Wei Chang Feng smiled and watched him eat, but he didn’t move his chopsticks. Qi Le An was hungry. For Wei Chang Feng’s cooking was food, Qi Le An swept the food on the coffee table in a few seconds.

When he was full, Qi Le An realized that Wei Chang Feng hadn’t eaten much. He said guiltily, “I couldn’t help it… I’m sorry..”

Wei Chang Feng laughed, “It’s OK, I’ve already eaten it. I just want to accompany you.”

Qi Le An’s ears suddenly became red when he listened to “I want to accompany you.”

Wei Chang Feng didn’t clear away the tableware on the coffee table and asked Qi Le An, “Not feeling good recently?”

When they were eating, Qi Le An thought that it must have been Chen Shan who had called Wei Chang Feng to come over. He smiled bitterly, “Mmm… I don’t know what happened to me.”

Speaking of this, Qi Le An’s eyes were filled with confusion.

Wei Chang Feng looked at Qi Le An who was much thinner and felt his heartache.

He had heard about what had happened in the past half a month. Unfortunately, Director Ge had strict requirements and he had been unable to come over. This time, after hearing what Gary talked about Qi Le An, he found out how serious the problem was.

Wei Chang Feng couldn’t help approaching Qi Le An and ruffled his hair.

Qi Le An was in a daze, but Wei Chang Feng’s action startled him and his face flushed.

Wei Chang Feng found it funny, so he used more strength and said, “You’re still a child. I don’t know there are how many things in your mind.”

Perhaps after being sated with food, Qi Le An got a nerve. He said to Wei Chang Feng, “I’m not a child, Chang Feng.”

Ever since they knew each other, Qi Le An had always called Wei Chang Feng “Wei Sama”. This “Chang Feng” made both of them stunned. Wei Chang Feng even put down his hand, which was touching Qi Le An’s head.

Qi Le An’s heart beat faster.

Wei Chang Feng’s eyes twinkled and he finally smiled as if he hadn’t heard it. “Why are you not happy? You can tell me.”

Qi Le An thought of something and asked, “Is everything okay?”

Wei Chang Feng said yes. He looked at Qi Le An and nodded with a smile, “Is there something that can’t be told to me?”

Qi Le An looked at Wei Chang Feng, who was as dazzling as the sunshine, and thought that there was one.

He looked at Wei Chang Feng’s handsome face, his soft eyes filled with wisdom and his pink lips.

Qi Le An asked, “Can I say something like…’I like you’ to you?”

The room suddenly fell into a strange silence.
