Perfection

Because the director was in a bad state, the shooting ended early that day.

　　When they were returning to the hotel, Lu Jinlang did not leave with Wen Jianing. After all it’s not like they are not always together, because they still want to avoid suspicion. But today Wen Jianing left with Wen Tinghuan in advance, and he was obviously avoiding Lu Jinlang.

　　Wen Jianing felt uncomfortable. He knew that Lu Jinlang would not accept it. He didn’t think it was Lu Jinlang’s fault, but he didn’t understand what he did wrong. None of this was what he wanted. Even the relationship he started with Lu Jinlang was not his initiative.

　　Lu Jinlang’s obvious resistance made him feel hurt.

　　When Wen Tinghuan was driving, he sat in the passenger seat. He was depressed and didn’t want to say a word, and he didn’t even bother to cover up.

　　Seeing Wen Jianing looking out the window with one hand on his head, Wen Tinghuan asked, “What? Did you have a fight with Director Lu?”

　　Wen Jianing’s depression is too obvious.

　　Jian Jun who was sitting in the back seat heard the words and looked over in the direction of Wen Jianing silently.

　　Wen Jianing didn’t say anything. They didn’t quarrel. It might be better if they have a good quarrel instead. Then he could release all those messy moods, and he could also ask Lu Jinlang why he couldn’t accept the fact that he was Wen Jianing.

　　In the evening, Wen Jianing moved from Lu Jinlang’s room back to his own room next door.

　　When Lu Jinlang came back, the room was empty. Wen Jianing even packed up his belongings.

　　He walked to the bed and sat down. Suddenly he remembered that the last time they separated, Wen Jianing also packed up his things and moved out when he was away.

　　Honestly, this feeling is very uncomfortable, as if there is a void inside the heart.

　　Whether it’s this time or that time, Wen Jianing didn’t go far. As long as he went to look for him, he could take him back. But as long as he hasn’t straightened out his mind, even if he takes Wen Jianing back, there’s no point.

　　Lu Jinlang didn’t turn on the light, and stayed in the dark silently.

　　All day today, Lu Jinlang repeatedly thought of the Wen Jianing he knew in the past. Although they didn’t meet many times, he still had a clear impression of the other party in his memory. He can’t overlap the two of them, and at the same time, he doesn’t know whether he should overlap the two. If one day in his heart, the two of them become one person, would it be because his current feelings that have the upper hand, making him fall in love with Wen Jianing?

　　Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang are in the cold war. Other film crews may not be able to detect it, but how can they hide it from Wen Tinghuan?

　　Lu Yunan finished the matters that Lu Jinlang asked, and hurried back. He was stopped by Wen Tinghuan on the set and she asked him, “Do you know what happened to Xinhang and Director Lu?” Wen Jianing had a lot of emotional issues before and he never refused to communicate with Wen Tinghuan. But this time, no matter what Wen Tinghuan asked, Wen Jianing refused to say anything. Until now, Wen Tinghuan only knew that the two of them had a conflict.

　　Lu Yunan actually didn’t know everything, but he could somewhat guess what Lu Jinlang asked him about. As for Wen Jianing’s rebirth into Ke Xinhang’s body, such a weird thing, Lu Yunan could not understand, so he felt more confused than Wen Tinghuan.

　　”I don’t know,” he said to Wen Tinghuan blankly.

　　Wen Tinghuan didn’t believe it at all, “You don’t know? I don’t believe it. Lu Jinlang takes you by his side anytime and anywhere. Why don’t you know why the two of them quarreled?”

　　Lu Yunan felt that he was innocent. Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing always quarrel behind closed doors. How could he know?

　　Wen Tinghuan didn’t give up and said, “If you don’t know, you can ask, right!”

　　The relationship between Lu Yunan and Lu Jinlang is not like Wen Tinghuan and Wen Jianing. He is just a pure life assistant. Lu Jinlang’s work is handled by a special agent. He has never tried to interfere with Lu Jinlang’s private life. Now Wen Tinghuan forced him to question Lu Jinlang. He had to say, “You should ask Xinhang.”

　　Wen Tinghuan wanted to cry, “I already asked. He refused to say anything. If he is willing to talk, do you think I will ask you?”

　　There is no answer.

　　Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang have no answers themselves, how can other people know what is going on?

　　Soon, nearly half a month of shooting in the local area came to an end.

　　Today is the last scene. After the filming, they will stop working and head to the next location.

　　This scene was actually the scene that Lu Jinlang asked Jian Jun to perform during his audition. He and Wen Jianing were on the hillside. Wen Jianing leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep.

　　Jian Jun’s second performance of this scene is of course different from the first time. Although he is a newcomer, he is not the same as Wen Jianing and the others. He is a real graduate of the film and television school, and when it comes to acting experience, he is no less than them.

　　He still remembers when he kissed Wen Jianing’s forehead because he hadn’t read the script and didn’t know the relationship between the so-called father and son. But this time, he had read the script from beginning to end, and had communicated with Lu Jinlang many times. He knew that Lu Jinlang wanted a more introverted father who didn’t know how to express his feelings.

　　Yuan Qishi’s son had been separated from him since he was a child, and the number of times the father and son met was very limited. In the last moments of his life, he borrowed the body of his nephew and accompanied his son for some precious period of time.

　　Jian Jun weaves grasshoppers with grass in his hand. Wen Jianing yawned, leaned his head on his shoulder and closed his eyes. Jian Jun’s movements didn’t stop, as he was still weaving grass.

　　This part of the story actually happened at the end of the movie. That night, Yuan Xu found his cousin Yuan Sheng came to bid him farewell, and then his father Yuan Qishi swallowed his last breath.

　　The weaved grasshopper’s in Jian Jun’s hands trembled slightly. On his shoulder, Wen Jianing’s breathing became even and he seemed to have fallen asleep. He finished weaving this little thing, stopped, and turned his head to look at Wen Jianing.

　　According to the script, he only needs to look at Wen Jianing for a long time, then slowly turn his eyes away, and then the camera turns to the air along with his eyes movement.

　　But Jian Jun lowered his head again and kissed Jian Jianing’s forehead. The movements were very light and light, full of nostalgia.

　　Lu Jinlang didn’t call to stop. He looked at the scene and was stunned. He recovered and found that he had broken a signing pen in his hand.

　　Wen Jianing also knew that Jian Jun’s scene was wrong, but the director didn’t call to stop, so he didn’t open his eyes, and continued to act.

　　Later, Lu Jinlang asked him to do it again.

　　Jian Jun seemed a little embarrassed. He explained to Lu Jinlang, “I just think we will be parting soon at that time. Even the most introverted person will still be unable to control their emotions.”

　　Lu Jinlang nodded, saying nothing.

　　The scene was completely filmed the second time according to Lu Jinlang’s script, without the kiss.

　　Both shots are kept, and the decision is left at the time of editing.

　　After the shooting of the day, when Lu Jinlang called for the end of work, everyone was a little emotional because they had to pack up and leave this time.

　　The last filming location was at school. Lu Jinlang and the others had to return first, and the remaining camera equipment and props would be delivered slowly.

　　Wen Tinghuan has stayed outside for a long time. She feels happy when she thinks that she can go home. She ran to Wen Jianing and asked him, “Are you going with us or going back with Director Lu?”

　　Wen Jianing turned his head and glanced at Lu Jinlang and saw that he was talking to Lu Yunan, so he said to Wen Tinghuan, “I’ll go back with you.”

　　Wen Tinghuan looked at him.

　　Wen Jianing said, “Since you know what the situation is, there is no need to ask me all the time.”

　　Lu Jinlang finished explaining to Lu Yunan at this time, turned his head and saw Wen Jianing had gotten in Wen Tinghuan’s car, so he said to Lu Yunan, “Let’s go too.”

　　Because it was late, they did not drive back on the same day, but stayed at the hotel for one night and set off the next morning.

　　During this period, they have to wait for the filming equipment and props, so after they go back, they can have a short two-day break before the final shooting.

　　In the morning, Lu Yunan helped Lu Jinlang take his luggage down the elevator from upstairs. As soon as the elevator door opened, they saw Wen Jianing, Jian Jun and Wen Tinghuan standing in the lobby waiting to check out.

　　After the check-out procedure is over, Jian Jun reaches out to help take Wen Jianing’s suitcase beside his leg.

　　Wen Jianing said immediately, “No, I can do it myself.”

　　”It’s okay,” Jian Jun pulled forward with a suitcase in one hand.

　　Wen Jianing quickly followed.

　　Lu Jinlang didn’t say anything, and handed Lu Yunan the room card to let him check out.

　　After driving back that day, Lu Jinlang did not go back to Wen Jianing’s house, but went straight back to his villa. He didn’t intend to move the things he left in Wen Jianing for the time being. They didn’t break up. He just needed a short time to calm down.

　　However, Wen Jianing didn’t know if Lu Jinlang planned to return. He was thinking over and over again, could this mean he and Lu Jinlang have come to an end? Is this really a knot in Lu Jinlang’s heart that will never be opened?

　　Wen Jianing turned on all the lights at home and packed up all Lu Jinlang’s things. He couldn’t bear to see it. He didn’t feel good when he saw it.

　　When he was about to clean up, he suddenly got angry and threw everything on the ground. He watched them scattered on the ground, then stepped back and leaned against the wall to breathe.

　　After a while, Wen Jianing took out his cell phone and called Wen Lin. He wanted to find someone to drink with him. It’s better to talk with someone than to think at home alone.

　　Wen Lin’s call was quickly connected, and the surroundings seemed to be quiet, and asked him softly, “Xinhang? Are you back?”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Where are you? Can you have some drinks with me?”

　　Wen Lin has never liked to reject others, especially Wen Jianing. He immediately replied, “Okay, I am in the Lanlu now, are you going to come over?”

　　”Lanlu?” Wen Jianing didn’t respond to why Wen Lin was in the Lanlu, and he didn’t have the time to think carefully. He just replied, “Okay, wait for me, I’ll come over right away.”

　　Wen Jianing was depressed and didn’t know how to vent, while Lu Jinlang also lost his temper for the first time.

　　Lu Jinlang was sitting on the sofa watching TV with a water glass in his hand, and then he turned to Starlight that was replaying the “Soul Voice” talent show that year. What is being shown on TV is the refined version, which has been edited again, but what Lu Jinlang sees happens to be the part in which Wen Jianing sings a love song to him

　　What a superb acting!

　　What was he thinking at that time? Were you moved? You start paying attention to him, right? When in fact, all of that is just a play by a great actor.

　　Lu Jinlang grabbed the water glass and threw it toward the TV. But the house was too big, the water glass could not hit the TV screen, and fell in front of the TV cabinet. The water in the water glass spilled all over the floor.

　　He sat in a daze for a while, went to the bathroom, took a mop, and dried the water on the floor. At this moment, he suddenly squatted down again, opened the drawer under the TV cabinet, took out the DVD of “Duel” and put it into the DVD player to start playing.

　　He wants to take a closer look at Wen Jianing, to see if he is really his Xinhang.

　　Wen Jianing drove to the Lanlu.

　　The film that Wen Lin participated in has ended. It was originally a small budget movie with few on-site scenes and everything was almost completely shot in the studio. Although the filming was over, Wen Lin did not completely separate himself from the role.

　　At the end of the filming of this movie, the director realized that Wen Lin’s state was not right, and had been persuading him to understand that it’s just a movie and not to be stuck in it forever.

　　The psychiatrist introduced by Lu Jinlang is actually very useful. After Wen Lin went to talk to him a few times, he was obviously not so depressed anymore.

　　The reason why he will be in the Lanlu at this time is because after Wen Jianing brought him here last time, he fell in love with that small music bar in the Lanlu. Recently, whenever he is free, he likes to bring his guitar to play and sing on a small stage. Even without an audience, he can sing all night.

　　Wen Jianing heard Wen Lin say that he was singing, and felt that this might be a good way for venting. If music can calm him down, then he just has to immerse himself in the music.

　　It’s just that Wen Jianing didn’t expect that when he opened the door of the bar and went in, it was not Wen Lin alone that he saw. In the bar, Wen Lin also had a quiet audience, who was actually Li Rong.

　　Wen Jianing was a little surprised.

　　Li Rong stood up generously and greeted him, “Xinhang, when did you come back?”

　　They all knew that he and Lu Jinlang were filming in other places.

　　”Li Rong?” Wen Jianing stood there.

　　Li Rong smiled and said, “Didn’t Lu Jinlang come back with you?”

　　As soon as he heard Lu Jinlang’s name, Wen Jianing was silent for a few seconds and did not answer. Instead, he asked, “Why are you here?”

　　Li Rong said, “Listening to the song.”

　　Wen Jianing suddenly remembered that Li Rong had asked him about Wen Lin last time, and he couldn’t help but become wary again.

　　Li Rong chuckled, he stepped back and invited Wen Jianing to come and sit next to him, “Let’s listen to the song?”

　　Wen Jianing went over and sat down beside him and ordered himself a glass of wine.

　　Wen Lin stopped when he saw Wen Jianing coming in. At this time Wen Lin sat down and said, “Let me sing you a song.”

　　Wen Jianing said, “Okay.”

　　Wen Lin plucked the guitar strings with his fingers, and a string of soothing tunes came out.

　　Wen Jianing still remembers this song. It was the love song he once sang to Lu Jinlang during the singing competition. Now when it is sung from Wen Lin’s mouth, it sounds totally different. Moreover, his arrangement has changed slightly when it’s played and sung by Wen Lin.

　　The waiter brought the wine up and placed it in front of Wen Jianing.

　　Wen Jianing listened to the lyrics that seemed to be whispering from Wen Lin’s mouth. He reached out to pick up the glass, took a sip, and then drank it up.

　　Li Rong was taken aback by him, and he didn’t even have time to reach out to stop him.

　　And after Wen Jianing put down the wine glass, he shouted to the direction of the bar, “One more glass!”

Notes:
It was quite heartbreaking that he was afraid that to accept Ke Xinhang is Wen Jianing because he thinks it will mean he is falling out of love with Ke Xinhang and were falling in love with Wen Jianing because he still differentiate both as two different person
