He didn’t remember which movie said that the most beautiful love story in the world was not “I love you”, but “I support you”. Kong Si and Lu Yi looked at each other in silence, and suddenly wailed.

Lu Yi was taken aback by him, and hurriedly asked him, “What’s the matter?”

Kong Si said: “No, you let me go first, I’ll take a shower in the bathroom and calm down.”

He felt like he was being slapped, what a terrible man, God knew where so many sultry love stories came from.

When he turned his head, Lu Yi tilted his head and looked at him. He was obviously a serious man, and he was shamelessly showing cuteness!

Lu Yi said, “Wash it later, you didn’t even take any clothes.”

Kong Si shook his head: “No! I’ll go right away.”

He was afraid that he could not help but rush on, and the fire would burn his old waist. This was just finished, restraint, must restraint.

Lu Yi couldn’t help laughing a little, and let go of his hand: “All right, then you go quickly.”

The young man’s warm arm was put aside, and Kong Si was a little dissatisfied: “Are you not in love with me anymore?

The script was wrong, shouldn’t his man hold him tightly and burn it.

“I will go with you.”

The corners of Kong Si’s lips curled up, and he said, his charm was unmatched, which was almost the same.

Before going to bed that day, the water in the bathroom rang for another full hour before stopping.

At 6 o’clock the next morning, Lu Yi was awakened by his own biological clock. Two minutes later, the bedside alarm rang. He got up and turned off the alarm, planning to get up in his clothes.

A hand stretched out from the quilt and forced him back into the quilt: “So sleepy. Sleep with me.”

In fact, Kong Si’s hands didn’t have much strength, they were soft, but Lu Yi followed the opponent’s strength to lie down again.

It was rare that the weather was so good, and it was okey to occasionally indulge in a day.

As a result, in the end, the two of them did not get up until 9 o’clock in the morning, and had their preserved egg and lean meat porridge at the porridge mansion downstairs for breakfast.

The temperature of the porridge was very high when it was served, so it would burn your tongue if you drink it again. Because Kong Si received an important text message, he took out his mobile phone and responded there.

After returning to his friend’s news, he looked up and found that Lu Yi’s eyes were looking in one direction intently. After looking at Lu Yi’s line of sight, he saw the TV set on the wall of the Congee Mansion.

The TV was broadcasting an old variety show of Fruit Channel. The form of this variety show was mainly to invite some guests to do various interesting activities every period.

The guests were all actors from new hot dramas or upcoming movies, or rookies in the popular variety show on the Fruit Channel itself. The latest episode of last night’s program was now being shown, and the recently-broadcast youth drama actors were invited as guests.

Usually at home, Kong Si rarely saw Lu Yi watch channels other than the Finance and Law channel, but today Lu Yi’s eyes stayed on this variety show for a long time.

For him, this veteran variety show once brought him joy in his childhood, but now, unless it invited a star he liked, Kong Si would never spare any time on this show.

Kong Si asked Lu Yi: “Do you like watching this kind of show?”

Lu Yi retracted his gaze and gently stirred the hot porridge in the bowl: “Generally, I don’t like it.”

The two chatted about this show, but Kong Si obviously felt Lu Yi’s absent-mindedness.

He paused for a while, Lu Yi’s eyes stopped on the TV, and he even forgot to respond to him.

He didn’t think that Lu Yi, who had a rational personality, would like the funny way the guests laughed, but Lu Yi’s eyes did stay on the TV screen for a long time.

He looked at Lu Yi and watched the show again, and found that when the host was shaking and the audience laughed, Lu Yi’s expression was also very calm, and there was no cheerful expression at all.

More precisely, he felt very serious.

Since it was not directed at the show, it was directed at the guests. After drinking half a bowl of porridge, Kong Si relied on his excellent observation ability to see the focus in Lu Yi’s eyes.

It sounded on the TV: We will return after de advertisement. Lu Yi withdrew his gaze and drank the warm porridge slowly.

Kong Si could finally ask, “Do you like the male guest, the one in the black jacket named He Xiao?”

Lu Yi looked a little surprised, but he still denied Kong Si’s guess: “No.”

Kong Si said: “It’s nothing to like celebrities. I also have a lot of celebrities that I will look at them more when I see them. I’m not such a stingy person.”

Young and beautiful skin, who didn’t like it. Although he had a male sexual orientation, he could appreciate their beauty as well as watching the beautiful female stars on TV.

Lu Yi said, “No, it’s because I don’t like him.”

Obviously, he had been paying attention, why should he lie… What else was Kong Si trying to say, and he suddenly reacted to his lips: “You mean, because you don’t like him, you look at him?”

He had forgotten that there was a saying that the person who knows you best in the world is not your lover, but your opponent.

The reason for paying attention to a person, in addition to liking, may also be hate.

Kong Si looked at the delicate little meat on the screen and was very curious: “Why don’t you like him? Did he have a holiday with you?”

Lu Yi didn’t want to mention He Xiao more: “You don’t need a reason to dislike someone. I just see him unpleasantly.”

Speaking of which, in the original trajectory, Kong Si was the one who was with He Xiao, and it was because he went to the wrong room that all his fate had changed.

He looked at Kong Si: “Do you like him?”

“Who do I like?”

“It’s the star on TV, He Xiao.”

Kong Si said: “I didn’t feel anything before, but now I hate him.”

Lu Yi was a little surprised: “Why?”

He thought that Kong Si should at least look at each other very closely. Otherwise, it would be hard to imagine how the two would come together.

Kong Si said frankly: “Because you hate him, I like the people you like, and I hate the people you hate.”

This was the truth most of the time when you help your relatives. No matter how good and capable He Xiao was, what his lover hated, he would also hate it along with him.

It was like he didn’t like porridge at all before, but because Lu Yi liked it, he gradually fell in love with this simple porridge.

If two people stayed together for a long time, they would definitely affect each other.

The corners of Lu Yi’s lips raised slightly: “I was just thinking that if you also become an actor, there may be a certain degree of competition.”

Kong Si bowed his head and fiddled with the phone for a while, and looked at He Xiao’s information for more than ten minutes: “I don’t think it should be. Our two positions are not quite the same. I am a strong group, and he is an idol group1.”

The entertainment industry was much harsher to women than to men. Women play in a narrow way. When they are young, they often play silly and sweet dog dramas. When they have to concentrate on acting, they play the wicked mother-in-law in family ethics dramas. Today’s traffic florets are mostly fifteen or sixteen years old, or even five or six years old, they start to debut, or become popular as soon as they debut. After thirty-five years old, most of them have passed the golden age of actors.

But the male celebrities have a much wider play path. The idols who rely on their faces to eat have the golden age at 20-25, after which the acting skills gradually settle down, and many of them are in their 30s, which is the beginning of the real acting career.

Kong Si was now twenty-four years old, and his facial features had been shaped. Unless he used a knife on his face, his appearance won’t change much.

He looked very handsome, which was different from the popular flower boy. With red lips and white teeth, sword eyebrows and star eyes, the facial features were not exquisite when taken apart, but when put together, they make people feel very special.

There was a sense of quietness and elegance when closing his mouth, which was very bluffing. It could be said that it was as quiet as a virgin, like a rabbit.

Lu Yi said, “You are a strong group, and that is even more of a collision with him.”

He Xiao’s first play was basically a newcomer starring, and it was also a self-made drama that was filmed and broadcasted. In the original script, he played the male number two. With the extreme awfulness of the male number one, he became hot. Now, the crew was also young. The popularity of the second male was far better than the first male. Thinking that they were all newcomers, he simply changed the script behind him. He Xiao succeeded in counterattack, and his coffee rank was changed from second male to the first male.

Because the performance just after his debut was remarkable, the company that signed He Xiao began to play various acting skills. It used a very familiar pull and step method, and compared the acting skills of the male number one with a little acting experience to set off the pure rookie He Xiao’s excellence.

After his debut, He Xiao’s agent hurriedly took advantage of the heat to pick him up several dramas, but several of them were on the street, and there was nothing to say about the work, so the company began to fire up He Xiao again.

But as an actor, the most important thing was that the work was hard enough. Without a good script, the acting skills could no nothing.

In addition to eat He Xiao’s face, what was most popular in the draft and fans was He Xiao’s acting skills, young genius, a new generation belonging to both idol and strong group.

Kong Si said: “You won’t be his black fan? How do I feel that you know him well.”

Lu Yi shook his head: “No, it’s just that because of some accidents, I paid a little attention to him.”

In the past six months, in addition to stocks, he would basically collect He Xiao’s information, and he had also specially built a document to analyze all the other party’s news and the increase in the popularity index. Analyze the opponent’s positioning through the script and exposure of the opponent’s recent shots.

After all, it was an important person who was closely related to his purpose of collecting fragments. Even if he didn’t like it, it was necessary to pay more attention to the opponent.

He had been paying attention to He Xiao, but Kong Si didn’t stay at home very often, and when two people get along, they didn’t talk about irrelevant people. The other party didn’t realize that he was paying attention to this young male star.

Kong Si poked the preserved eggs in the bowl with his chopsticks, feeling that he had no appetite at all.

He whispered: “Fortunately, you hate He Xiao, and I hate him even more now.”

If Lu Yi could have guessed a little bit about Kong Si’s thoughts before, this time he was really a bit unpredictable: “What’s wrong?”

Kong Si looked at him, and then said very seriously: “Even if I know that you hate him, but watching you pay attention to him so much, I will still feel jealous.”

It was obviously someone he didn’t know, but so much attention that belonged to him was taken away, how could it not make people jealous.

Facing Kong Si sounded very childish, Lu Yi smiled: “Then you should work hard to become a star that is more eye-catching than him. Just let my eyes stay on you.”

After breakfast, Lu Yi asked him, “Is it true what you told me yesterday that you decided to be an actor?”

Kong Si nodded: “I will not tell you a lie.”

Lu Yi went on to say: “The life of an artist is not as glamorous as you think. Under the applause and love of flowers, you have to suffer a lot. Even if that is the case, do you have to persevere?”

Kong Si still nodded: “I’m not afraid of hardship, but that hardship is worthless. I like acting, and I want to act.”

After confirming again and again, Lu Yi said, “Then I will give you a ten-day vacation. If there are no particularly good scripts and opportunities for these ten days, then just rest.”

Kong Si curiously said: “Ten days, is it so long?”

Lu Yi said meaningfully: “It’s better to take a longer time, because you may not be able to enjoy it in the future.”

Within ten days, he took Kong Si to buy a car, watch movies, travel, and go to the amusement park. He almost finished all the happy things.

In the evening ten days later, Lu Yi drove people to a high-rise building: “From today on, you have to train here every day until the teacher says you can leave the school.”

Kong Si still held the strawberry-flavored marshmallows Lu Yi bought him in his hand. He suddenly heard the bad news, and raised his heart: “Can I ask what I´m going to train?”

“Your body and manners, line skills, even dance, martial arts, music.”

Since Kong Si decided to become an acting school, he must solidify his basic skills.

He looked at his lover: “What you want to do, I fully support you to do it, but I don’t want you to fish for three days and dry the net for two days, and you have no pursuit of yourself. Even if I can support you, there is no way for the mud to support the wall, do you understand?”

Lu Yi did not want to use his high standards to demand his lover: “I said before that an artist is not an easy thing. With me behind you, you can avoid some detours, but it does not represent that you can easily lie down and take the trophy.”

Kong Si said, “I know.”

He landed on his back and went to the crew to shoot a movie. He played a small supporting role who didn’t have much role in the scene. In the hot weather, he couldn’t wait to wear only pants on him when he went out.

“If you can’t bear it, just call me and tell me, then you don´t have to go.” He allowed Kong Si to be a deserter. If the other party really couldn’t bear it, then just waste some money.

Ten million or twenty million, the most important thing was that Kong Si could be happy himself. As for He Xiao, he didn’t think that a person with bad behavior would be innocent in the big dyeing vat of the entertainment industry, and would not do anything that hurts others.

At the beginning, Lu Xingchen was the victim he knew. Besides, there would be others. When the pollution was lifted, He Xiao may not be able to live as well as he had originally.

Kong Si nodded and shook his head. He took a big bite of marshmallows, “I know, I’ve decided, I won’t let you down.”

Popularity depended on strength as well as luck, but since he had to do it, he must work hard. Even if he failed, he had to be worthy of himself.

After eating the marshmallows, he kissed his man’s face fiercely, then opened the door of the car and walked towards the gleaming building bathed in sunlight like a glorious soldier.

In the entertainment circle, there was no shortage of good-looking people, and there was no shortage of people with good acting skills and hard work, but in the increasingly impetuous entertainment circle, there were very few who become big stars only by virtue of their acting skills, because they don´t have capital and marketing.

During Kong Si’s severe retreat training, Lu Yi began to concentrate on dealing with entertainment media companies.

Three million was only the minimum standard for investment, and he needed more money to let Kong Si sit back and relax.

Lu Yi’s “Marketing” was not particularly good, but he knew what capital operation was. In addition to his own entertainment company, he also made other investments, and all professional things were handled by special personnel.

If the entertainment company was not well opened, the money he earned in other fields could also be used to throw it into it. As long as it was thrown on Kongsi, he was happy and willing.

Anyway, he was willing to decentralize, but also willing to spend money. Id ten million was not enough, then 20 million, 30 million, or even more.

Because it was a fully enclosed training, Kong Si also had a very difficult time.

The teacher Lu Yi invited him was not the kind of one-on-one personal training, but a teacher teaching several students at the same time.

However, many of these students were not for acting. Some were married to wealthy families and demand to practice manners, and some wanted to enter the upper class. They were talented and willing to endure hardships. They asked teachers to teach them.

There wasn´t a competitive relationship with the other students, but because they were all students, there would inevitably be comparisons. When he was training his manners, he was sometimes no better than a five or six-year-old girl, and occasionally vacillated, but he agreed to Lu Yi and got over it slowly.

At the beginning, he had to call Lu Yi every day, which was the video call type, and then after a few days, he only called and refused to open the video.

In the end, he would call every two or three days, and even the frequency dropped to once a week, just to keep himself from being distracted.

Otherwise, hearing Lu Yi’s voice every day, he would feel that he immediately wanted to fly out of this building to Lu Yi’s side.

In order to reduce the number of snacks, he reduced the frequency of looking in the mirror, because every time he saw himself in the mirror, he would immediately think of Lu Yi.

But every time he endured it. Although he didn’t know how Lu Yi found these teachers for him, he knew that Lu Yi had spent a lot of money on the level of the teachers.

In his mind, Lu Yi was a myth in the investment world. He wanted to be the most successful existence of the other party’s investment, not a failure.

When training lasted for a month, several teachers gave him a day off, and all the friends in the same period went to indulge. Only Kong Si continued to practice.

After three full months, he finally became a teacher.

When he walked out of that building, he felt like seeing the sky again.

But he didn’t want to go anywhere, just wanted to see Lu Yi.

He took a taxi all the way home, knocked on the door, he took out the key to open the door, and wanted to give his man a big surprise.

As a result, when the door was opened, the person was not there at all.

Calling, Lu Yi’s voice came from the phone, as far away as the voice of another world: “Where did you say you were? I went out in the morning, and now it’s here in the XYZ building.”

The building Lu Yi said was where he trained these days. Because the teacher said hello in advance, he drove to pick up people when he went out in the morning, and for this reason he turned off most of the company’s work.

Kong Si couldn’t laugh or cry: “I’m at home now.”

Lu Yi was silent for a while: “Then you just wait at home and wait for me to rush back.”

Because of the traffic jam on the road, two people met after exactly one and a half hours.

When Lu Yi opened the door, a figure resembling black lightning suddenly rushed into his arms and hugged his waist: “surprise!”

Lu Yi kissed the child Kong Si on the face: “Very pleasantly surprised, wait for me to close the door first.”

He closed the door with his backhand, and Kong Si lifted the hem of his T-shirt: “Look, vest line, muscle!”

Although his work intensity was not low before, he seldom exercised, and his stomach was basically soft and flat, but he still felt a little belly.

But now he didn’t have a belly, and he had very beautiful diamond-shaped muscles. He was typically thin in clothes and a standard hanger-shaped figure with fleshy undress.

Lu Yi stretched out his hand and touched it, feeling a pity. He still liked the softer touch, but now Kong Si was good, he praised: “It’s beautiful.”

“That’s it? Nothing else?” Kong Si’s tone was disappointed.

Lu Yi thought about it seriously: “You have lost weight, what do you want to eat at noon today, I will take you to eat.”

“It’s only ten o’clock in the morning, and I’m not hungry.” Kong Si then asked him, “Don’t you want to check my strong waist strength after exercise?”

Lu Yi fell silent again.

Just when Kong Si felt that he was not suggesting enough, his man suddenly carried him up, and then carried out a two-hour arduous review work from the inside out in the bedroom.

After both of them had rested, Lu Yi said, “You have lost a lot of weight.”

In a place he didn´t know, how much suffering Kong Si suffered.

Kong Si asked him: “Is it very distressing?”

Lu Yi couldn’t say anything too straightforward, so he nodded.

The corners of Kong Si’s lips curled up, like a proud little peacock. He said, “You don’t need to feel distressed. This is a choice I made myself.”

He stared at Lu Yi, with bright stars reflected in his eyes: “No matter how hard I work, I can bear it. I want to be your pride.”

Lu Yi was silent for a while, then laughed: “Then you lose, you don’t need to work hard, you are already my pride.”
