The sick beauty became popular after she brought her ex to the show

The long-delayed scene was successfully finished before lunch time, and did not extend into the afternoon as Ji Ru had expected. The teachers around were obviously very happy and had already started discussing what to eat for lunch.

Although Ji Ru is a relatively gentle director when it comes to scheduling, acting is not a regular process, and delaying the show is a common practice. Everyone is prepared to get through lunch.

I didn’t expect that after being stuck for the whole morning, I actually passed the last shot.
"Xiao Yu! You performed perfectly this time. That energy came out all at once!" Ji Ru praised from a distance.

Xi Yu loosened his hands, and the force that was restraining Su Ye loosened.

Su Ye propped up his upper body, but before he could sit up, Xi Yu put his arm around his waist, lifted Su Ye from the ground, turned around and placed Su Ye steadily on the jade couch.

"NICE Teacher Xi, your arms are so strong!" A passing staff member cheered.

Su Ye was stunned for a moment, and only reacted after Xi Yu fixed his shirt that had slipped off his shoulders. He was too embarrassed to say anything.

"Thank you Teacher Su for your guidance." Xi Yu happened to be standing nearby and whispered.
Su Ye tilted his head, a sly smile showing on his face that was very different from before, "I'm glad I can help Teacher Xi."

During lunch break, the group next door was filming other scenes. Xi Yu was called by Ji Ru to read the script. After a simple lunch, Su Ye went to visit alone.

The filming here had just finished, and Anle came over to greet Su Ye after seeing her. His baby face was filled with an energetic expression like a little sun.
"Teacher Su! How was my photo? Please rate and comment!"

Su Ye smiled and shook his head, "I may not have as much experience as you, how can I evaluate you."

An Le hugged Su Ye's arm in a familiar manner, "How could that be? I like Teacher Su very much. Teacher Su, just say something!"

"We made the right choice to pick Xiao An to play Song Ming. He's a big fan of Teacher Su." Editor Song walked over with a thermos cup and said cheerfully.

Anle held Su Ye's arm and shook his head happily, "Yes, I am Teacher Su's eldest—"

Halfway through his words, Su Ye noticed that An Le's hold on his arm had tightened, and he stopped talking.

He glanced sideways and saw Anle, who was shaking his head, with a gloomy expression on his face that was incompatible with his baby face. It only lasted for a moment, so fast that it seemed like an illusion.

"——A big fan!"
After An Le finished speaking, he winked at Su Ye and jumped away, "I'm going to continue filming, Teacher Su, have a good rest!"

Su Ye was a little confused. He waved his hand and watched Anle jump back to the equipment.

Suddenly, some noisy voices were heard behind me.
Su Ye thought of Anle's expression just now, turned around with some curiosity, and saw another well-known baby-faced person in the circle.

"Wow, why is Miss Scarlett here? Are you on vacation recently?"
"Is Scarlett coming over to visit?"

In the crowd, there was a young man wearing sunglasses and a pure white mask, with an excellent physique and short honey-brown hair.
The young man took off his mask, greeted the people around him with a smile, and looked very popular.

"Ms. Scarlett is here to see Mr. Xi?"

When Su Ye heard the name, a moment of surprise and nostalgia appeared on his face. He hid far away in the crowd and stood on tiptoe to take a look.

The young man with short brown hair is not particularly tall, but his posture is neat and generous, and he stands out from the crowd at first glance.
It was An Sijia, Oril's former captain and dancer.

"Hey, why are you here, Teacher Su? Why don't you go over and take a look?" A field attendant carrying equipment passed by and saw Su Ye looking out from the corner. He greeted him.
Su Ye had a little smile in his eyes, but shook his head, "It's okay."

He was very happy to see his former teammates here. Looking at An Sijia's current appearance, she must be doing well.
But he was not qualified to join in the fun.

Although he also wanted to walk into the crowd and say hello with a smile to An Sijia whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

There was a slight smile on Su Ye's face, and he didn't look too disappointed or sad.
For him, the joy of seeing old friends far outweighed the loneliness in his heart.

"Teacher Su, have you had lunch? Do you want to eat together?"
Anle jumped back at some point and took Su Ye's hand and was about to walk inside.

Su Ye was about to say "I've eaten", but it would be a good opportunity to leave here, so he didn't say anything to stop An Le.

The noisy and bustling voices behind him gradually faded away. Su Ye was silently planning in his mind that An Sijia should have come to see Xi Yu, and he could ask Xi Yu about An Sijia's recent situation later.
Xi Yu would definitely tell him.

"Hey, Yeye, why don't you come over——"

Su Ye had just taken two steps while being pulled by An Le when he suddenly heard a loud voice coming from the crowd behind him that was separated from him, stopping him in his tracks.

Su Ye turned around subconsciously when he heard the voice.
An Sijia took off her sunglasses and waved her hand as if afraid that Su Ye couldn't see her. After saying hello to the people around her, she walked towards this side quickly with a smile.

Su Ye suddenly became a little nervous.
He was trying to forge a smile, trying to find an expression that wouldn't appear heartless in front of his teammates whom he had silently abandoned for five years.

Who knew that An Sijia would happily hug Su Ye directly, bringing a little bit of the cool temperature from outside.
"Ye Ye, you're finally back."

Su Ye's lips moved.
The smile that he had prepared for himself failed to show up in time, but his chest felt a little blocked, making Su Ye unable to speak.

An Sijia patted Su Ye's back, then let go, "Why didn't you say anything?"

Su Ye tried hard to suppress the tightness in his chest, smiled a little and said jokingly, "You are too popular. I thought I would look for you after everyone dispersed."

An Sijia let out an "ah" and put her arm around Su Ye's shoulders.
"I was wondering why you didn't tell us when you returned to China."

The smile on Su Ye's face immediately faded a little, and his fingers nervously stroked the rolled-up script, unable to suppress the guilt that welled up in his heart again.
But An Sijia patted him again, with a hint of "everything is said without words".

Su Ye thought that there was a reason why An Sijia could be the captain.
Although Su Ye is the oldest in Oril, no one can compare to An Sijia with her baby face when it comes to dealing with people.

"I'm worried that you are too busy and can't answer my call." Su Ye slowly let go of those emotions.

An Sijia was still the same as Su Ye remembered, with a low sense of humor. She immediately burst into laughter, and the tips of her honey-colored hair swayed.
"No, if you run away again, where will I find you?"

An Sijia's tone was very natural, as if she was just making a normal joke, without a trace of malice.
Su Ye understood that An Sijia was silently comforting him and telling him that this page had been turned.

The two met again after a long time, and Su Ye finally realized that An Le, who had been holding his hand, was by his side.

Su Ye turned his head and saw that Anle had already let go of his hand and was standing aside, looking at him and An Sijia with a calm expression on his face, as if he was observing and evaluating something, which was very different from Anle's usual cheerful temperament.

An Sijia looked at An Le very naturally, "An——"

Anle winked and smiled at Su Ye, "Teacher Su, let's have lunch together tomorrow!" After that, he turned around and walked away as if no one was around.
Before leaving, he seemed to click his tongue quietly.

Su Ye said "Oh" in confusion.

An Sijia had no choice but to keep quiet, with a helpless expression on her face. She didn't call An Le again, and found a quiet lounge to sit down with Su Ye.

"But I didn't expect that you would film with Xi Yu as soon as you came back." After chatting for a while, An Sijia squinted.

Su Ye thought of what happened in the past few days and touched the tip of his nose uncomfortably, "Well, I didn't expect that."

An Sijia laughed, "I thought based on Xi Yu's personality, you would be caught by Xi Yu, and locked up for ten days or half a month before being released. It seems that he has grown up too."

Su Ye thought about it and said, "Xi Yu's temper is not that exaggerated, right?"

An Sijia's laughter subsided and she glanced at Su Ye.
"He wasn't this exaggerated before, but he changed a lot after you left."

Eventually, they came to the topic of leaving the group, and Su Ye tightened his grip on the water cup.

An Sijia did not express any personal opinions, but just reminisced as if chatting about family matters.

"At first he was quite calm. He immediately went to the company's HR to ask about you. He even found your aunt. He also didn't neglect his work in the group. To be honest, I admire him for being able to handle so much at the same time."

Su Ye brought his knees together and picked at the strap of the water cup with his fingertips.

"But later." An Sijia smiled bitterly and sighed, "When he couldn't find you, he immediately quit the group. It seemed to me that he didn't want to stay in the group for even a single day. He would rather pay the penalty than leave Xingli."

Su Ye lowered his voice and asked, "Did you pay a lot of liquidated damages?"

An Sijia waved her hand, "Let's not talk about that. It's not much. He doesn't need the money. Besides, Oril was really going downhill at that time. Leaving Oril would lead to better development."

An Sijia said this very cleverly, and it sounded like she was vaguely telling Su Ye that the disbandment of Oril was not his fault, but was a necessary step in the development of their respective careers.

But Su Ye still felt sad to hear it.
"You and Congfeng too."

An Sijia nodded, "I was originally interested in hosting. After you left and Xi Yu left, I had no attachment to the group anymore. Besides, I had a better opportunity at the time, so I went solo."

Su Ye recalled the time when she met Jiang Congfeng by chance on a variety show before. Jiang Congfeng looked at a stranger with disappointed eyes.

An Sijia happened to mention this as well. "By the way, you met Congfeng before, right?"
Su Ye's heart was touched and he nodded ashamedly.

An Sijia laughed again.

"Hey, I heard about this from Congfeng later. Don't take it to heart. Congfeng is actually not good at talking. At that time, he heard that you wanted to collect money, and he was afraid that you didn't make enough money to complete the mission, so he wanted to run over to see you and help you, but he couldn't say it out loud."

Su Ye said softly: "Cong Feng should be very disappointed in me."

An Sijia asked, "Are you talking about the withdrawal money?"

Su Ye was a little embarrassed. This was supposed to be a confidential matter in the contract, but for some reason, all these teammates knew about it.

"Actually, regarding your withdrawal from the group, I had some idea that you might have been persuaded to leave, and there was something behind it. But Xingli handled it so well that I couldn't find out anything."

Su Ye was slightly startled, "Really?"

An Sijia nodded, and couldn't help but sigh, "Ye, why do you always see the people around you as so weak and incompetent?"

Su Ye didn't understand what An Sijia meant, but worried that An Sijia might misunderstand, he quickly said, "I'm not--"

"Okay, you are." An Sijia interrupted Su Ye seriously. "Congfeng was a stupid kid at that time, and Xi Yu was busy going crazy, but we are not fools."
"You were on the rise at that time, your popularity was high, and you didn't have any scandals. How could you choose to leave the group at the peak without any reason? If you think about it carefully, you can feel that something is wrong."

Su Ye remained silent and continued to listen to An Sijia's words.

"As for the reason why you quit the group, those two people - let's not talk about them. I can guess what you are thinking. Anyway, you probably think that they will drag us down and delay us, right?" Su Ye didn't know whether to nod or not.
That's what he thought at the time, but it might not be the case from the perspective of other teammates.

"So." An Sijia sighed for the umpteenth time, "Why do you have to think that we are so weak that we will be dragged down if something goes wrong?"

Su Ye was speechless and lowered his head and blinked hard.

"Ye, try to rely on the people around you in the future, don't always think that you have to bear everything by yourself." An Sijia rubbed Su Ye's shoulder.
Su Ye nodded and said "hmm" softly. After a while, he added, "I'm sorry."

An Sijia clenched her fist and gently pushed Su Ye, "Still saying this, you haven't done anything wrong to anyone."

This sentence is very similar to what Su Lan said to Su Ye before. Su Ye suddenly realized what Su Lan wanted to express when she said this.

"But Xi Yu was really scary at that time." An Sijia recalled with sympathy, "I went to see him once, and heard from his assistant that Xi Yu didn't sleep at night. He turned into a workaholic and wrote songs day and night."

Su Ye's heart ached when he heard this, and he remembered Xi Yu's phone call in the middle of the night, his figure leaning on the balcony smoking late at night, and his clear voice in the early morning.

"His assistant, Xiao Yang, is very funny. He complained to me privately that Xi Yu seemed to be driven by ghosts. There was actually plenty of time for handover of some work, but he just kept rushing. Later, he won the Golden Music Award. In addition to his strength, I guess it was also because there were too many excellent works that were hard to ignore."

An Sijia sighed, "Xi Yu should be the singer who won the Golden Music Award the fastest, it's like riding a rocket."

"I also watched the awards ceremony in 2019." Su Ye said softly.
At that time, in addition to being happy, Su Ye was also surprised that Xi Yu could win the award so quickly.

You know, this newcomer award is extremely important, and there are almost no winners under the age of 25.
At that time, Xi Yu was only nineteen years old, not yet twenty.

"At that time, press releases were everywhere, saying things like 'ghost child', 'hardworking prince' and so on. Xi Yu's momentum was really strong. After winning the award, he appeared on the billboard at the end of 2019 at the Nanshi Airport." An Sijia clicked her tongue twice, "That's the famous Hall of Fame here."

At this point, An Sijia shook her head and said, "But we also appeared on this board, although we were later squeezed out by Xi Yu alone, hahahaha."

In 2018, the entire Oril group appeared on this billboard, and Su Ye still clearly remembers their standing position at that time.
Su Ye and An Sijia stood in the C position, next to An Sijia was Jiang Congfeng, and next to Su Ye was Xi Yu.

Su Ye smiled quietly. By this calculation, this billboard has been monopolized by Oril members for many years.

The atmosphere became more relaxed, and Su Ye asked, "Are you here to see Xi Yu today?"

An Sijia covered her chest and said, "I have talked to you for so long, and you asked me if I came here to see Xi Yu. Yeye, I am so sad."
Su Ye laughed at his amusement.

"I took some time out to come visit you today, mainly to see you, and to visit Xi Yu and An Le."

Su Ye was surprised, "Anle?"

An Sijia smiled helplessly, "Well, Anle is actually my younger brother in the household registration book. My father and his mother are a new family."

An Sijia looked like she had a headache and didn't seem to want to say too much. Su Ye was tactful enough not to ask any more questions and changed the subject.

"How do you know that Xingli gave me a withdrawal fund?"

An Sijia snapped her fingers. "Oh, I forgot to say just now. I heard this from Cong Feng. Cong Feng told me that Shu Ling told him."

Su Ye hadn't heard the name Shu Ling for a long time and was stunned.
"Shu Ling?"

An Sijia frowned, "You probably don't know that Shu Ling is Lin He's nephew. Back then, I wondered for a while whether Lin He squeezed you out in order to support Shu Ling."
"But Lin He didn't have that much power at that time, and you and Shu Ling were not in the same class at that time. Lin He would have to be crazy to support Shu Ling, who had an uncertain future, and squeeze out you, a ready-made cash cow."

An Sijia took a sip of water and said, "Also, I later heard that the reason for persuading you to quit was that you were in poor health. Is that true?"

Su Ye's eyes flickered for a moment, "There is this reason, but not all."

An Sijia glanced at Su Ye and didn't ask any more questions.
He understands that everyone has some secrets that are not convenient to tell in front of others.

"Actually, there's something else going on today. I'm going to have an all-male celebrity competition variety show and I'd like to invite you to it. Would you like to consider it?" An Sijia made a "yeah" gesture. "It's a perfect fit for us. Congfeng has already agreed to let me come."

Su Ye thought for a moment, "Is it the variety show called Meteor?"

Su Ye has seen this variety show, which is very well-known among the people. Generally, the guests on the show are quite influential. Even those who are a little out of date were once very famous.

Su Ye was of course honored to have such a job opportunity, but he still hesitated.
“My status seems to be…”

Five years ago, it might have been quite appropriate for Su Ye to be on this show, but five years later, for someone of his status, such a show might be a bit too high for him.

"How could that be? You were very popular on the Kids Variety Show before, and now you've joined Ji Ru's group. If you still call yourself an 18th-tier celebrity, the real 18th-tier celebrities will be pissed off by you."

Su Ye thought for a moment and said, "Should we ask Xi Yu? He is quite suitable for this show given his status."

An Sijia shook her shoulders and said, "It's not that I don't want to, Xi Yu doesn't appear on variety shows. Look at which variety shows he has appeared on over the years. He has always been a mysterious lone wolf."

Su Ye recalled that Xi Yu had indeed never participated in any variety shows in the past five years, and at most only accepted some interviews when new works were released.

The day of breaking the ice finally arrived, and Su Ye was willing to accept the invitation from his former friends and teammates.
"Then I'll contact the company and the agent."

"That's great!" An Sijia cheered and rushed over as usual, wanting to hug Su Ye warmly.

Su Ye also cooperated by opening his arms, with a rare happy smile on his face.

click.
The door to the lounge suddenly opened.

An Sijia, who had not yet touched Su Ye, felt a numbness in her arm. She saw Xi Yu open the door and walk in, then close the door and lean against the wall with his arms folded.

Xi Yu didn't say anything, but his gaze at An Sijia's arm was a little sharp.

An Sijia turned her hand and touched her nose. "Teacher Xi is here."

Xi Yu nodded leisurely, "Yes, I'm here."

"Uh, well, then." An Sijia's eyes moved between Xi Yu and Su Ye, "Then you two can chat, I'll go see An Le."

Xi Yu curled his lips and said, "Teacher Su and I can chat every day."

An Sijia rolled her eyes silently, "Okay, I understand. I know you two have the best relationship."

Su Ye stood up, walked to Xi Yu and squeezed Xi Yu's elbow, "Si Scarlett came to visit the set."

Why do I have to explain it specifically?
An Sijia listened and silently complained.

"I really don't want to talk to you guys anymore. I won't have time soon. I'm leaving first." An Sijia waved her hand, "Ye Ye, let's chat on WeChat."
Su Ye nodded and watched An Sijia leave.

"Are you here to see me?" After An Sijia left, Su Ye came close to Xi Yu and asked with curved eyes.

Xi Yu let out a breath, and the tension in his heart slowly dissipated.

I had just finished talking about the script with Ji Ru, and when I turned around I couldn’t find Su Ye.
He stopped several people, and they all said that they had not seen where Su Ye had gone. Even the assistant beside Su Ye was not quite sure.

In fact, it was something that could be solved by making a phone call, but Xi Yu was inexplicably nervous, and only felt relieved when he heard someone say that An Sijia had come.

"I thought..." Xi Yu said halfway, then changed his words with his usual lazy smile, "I thought Teacher Su got lost and went to the next crew."

Su Ye stared at Xi Yu, his soft and beautiful eyes still bent. He looked at Xi Yu quietly for two or three seconds, until Xi Yu began to feel a little uncomfortable, Su Ye spoke.
"I won't get lost."

Su Ye grabbed Xi Yu's hand, shook it gently, and pinched Xi Yu's fingertips out of habit.
"If I get lost, I will stand right where I am and wait for you to find me."

Xi Yu whispered, "What if I can't find you?"

Su Ye blinked and showed a bright smile.
"Then I'll take the initiative to find you."

When he said this, many vague memories flashed through Su Ye's mind.

The big fountain that was repaired by the lake, the lights that were finally lit up at the Christmas market, and the snow that hit my face outside the Nanshi airport pick-up point.
The gorgeous and stunning pink and purple sunset hidden in the mobile phone album.

Su Ye was talking to himself, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was talking to Xi Yu.
"I will definitely find a way to find you."

Thanks to the actors' excellent performances, the filming in the afternoon and night went smoothly, and we even got off work earlier than expected.

The only problem was that the electrical system in Su Ye's suite was still under repair.

Su Ye changed his clothes and returned to the suite where he and Xi Yu lived.

Xi Yu seemed to have not returned yet, so Su Ye took a shower first. On the way, he kept thinking about what An Sijia had told him about Xi Yu, but Su Ye was not aware of the past five years.

Su Ye was shocked when he heard that Xi Yu had been working without sleep for some time.

In Su Ye's memory, Xi Yu was a free-spirited person who would not give up when doing things, but he would never force himself to do high-intensity work.
Xi Yu would think that this is putting the cart before the horse and is unnecessary.

What came out of An Sijia's mouth were the years that Su Ye had missed with Xi Yu.
This made Su Ye's heart unconsciously become extremely heavy.

Su Ye turned on the shower head, changed into a bathrobe, dried his hair and opened the bathroom door.
The warm air from the air conditioner came towards me.

My back felt heavy.

A warmer body temperature embraced Su Ye from behind, and his tight arms casually and loosely wrapped around Su Ye's waist, with his chin resting on Su Ye's shoulder.

Su Ye heard Xi Yu's voice ringing next to his ear.
"Why are you taking a shower without turning on the air conditioner? What if you catch a cold?"

Su Ye lowered his eyes and smiled, "Aren't you here?"

is it?
Xi Yu didn't say anything. He hung behind Su Ye and hugged Su Ye tighter without saying a word.
