look back and see him

Chapter 10

What Lu Xiaoman didn't even plan to tell Yan Yan, was noticed by another person this day.In the afternoon, Lu Xiaoman, who was taking a lunch break, was woken up by a knock on the door.The person who usually knocks on his door the most, and then pries open the door automatically, has already gone to the location to shoot. Lu Xiaoman didn't expect that anyone else would look for him.He was used to Jin Cen who basically had no sense of presence, so when he opened the door and saw him, he was stunned unexpectedly.

Jin Cen held a bottle of medicine in his hand, and he said in an affirmative tone without delay after Lu Xiaoman opened the door: "Is this yours?"

To confirm that the nondescript medicine bottle belongs to Lu Xiaoman, unless Jin Cen saw Lu Xiaoman lose the medicine bottle with his own eyes.But Lu Xiaoman had been back to his room for a long time, Jin Cen obviously picked up the medicine bottle long ago, he didn't return it to Lu Xiaoman immediately, he must have done something else first.

Recently, in order to prevent Yan Yan who came in and out of his room casually from discovering that he was taking this medicine, Lu Xiaoman got used to carrying it with him. He didn't expect that he would lose the medicine bottle and Jin Cen would just pick it up.

Even if the other party returned it to him, he might not dare to take the medicine with other pills added, so he simply shook his head, "It's not mine." He said and was about to close the door.

Jin Cen blocked the door. "Ding Ding, give me 2 minutes."

"Mr. Jin is really busy with business affairs and has a bad memory. I have already said that there is no penis here."

The name "Ding Ding" was endowed with some subtle meanings at some point on the Internet, so fans never called Ding Yu "Ding Ding". At that time, Jin Cen used this name for its uniqueness. Now Lu Xiaoman sounds only I feel very awkward.

"Sorry, Mr. Lu." Jin Cen changed his words patiently, "I hope you can answer me why you take antidepressants?"

"I also said, this is not my medicine."

Jin Cen was silent for a while, his tone was calm but he could feel an undeniable strength: "The medicine must be prepared by the hospital. If I really investigate, I will definitely find it. Why do you keep it from me?"

"Boss Jin, you've got it wrong. Of course I don't need to hide it from you, but why should I tell you?" Because the other party blocked the door forcefully, Lu Xiaoman didn't bother to modify his sharp tone.

Jin Cen didn't care about Lu Xiaoman's provocative attitude at all, he continued to ask without changing his expression: "Does Yan Yan know that you have depression?"

Lu Xiaoman was stunned: "Do you think I look like someone with depression?"

"Then why do you carry antidepressants with you?"

Lu Xiaoman didn't want his ex-lover to find out that he was having a bad life. Depression is absolutely unacceptable, so he had to answer honestly: "Sometimes taking this kind of medicine for anorexia will be helpful."

Jin Cen watched him silently: "That's why you lost so much weight?"

"That's right, so what else do you want to know? If not, please let go of my room door."

"I still want to know - why not treat it properly?"

This question is very easy to answer: "Because the boss of Jinling asked me to pay a large amount of liquidated damages when I left Jinling, and after I left the latter brokerage company, I paid liquidated damages, including other business activities, and now I have no money See a psychiatrist."

Jin Cen's tone was low: "I was very angry when you wanted to leave Jinling, that's why I insisted on the contract."

Lu Xiaoman sighed heavily: "At the beginning, I wanted to leave Jinling so that I would never see the people I didn't want to see again, but it was useless even if I paid liquidated damages."

"I know you don't want to see me, and I'll be leaving soon. I'm staying here for now, just to make sure you're doing well."

"You can't destroy me when I'm living well, and you can't help me when I'm living poorly. Why do you want to confirm this kind of thing?"

"I can help you." Jin Cen said, he added with rare hesitation, "Just think of me as helping Yan Yan."

Lu Xiaoman was speechless.He didn't know if he hated someone when he hated him no matter what his behavior was.For him, all of Jin Cen's forbearance and patience, including the kindness of release, all annoyed him.

"Mr. Jin, it's right that you don't ask for that person's consent when you frame someone up, but when you want to help others, don't you know how to ask others if they are willing to accept help? Do you think that I or Yan Yan will Thank you?"

"You don't need to appreciate it, so it doesn't matter if you hate me even more. Let me arrange treatment. As long as you recover, I will disappear cleanly."

Lu Xiaoman couldn't believe any of Jin Cen's words, which was the main reason why he didn't talk about some substantive content seriously with the other party after meeting him again.However, even if he would not accept it, he still couldn't help being curious: "What is your plan? Compensate me? What do you want to get out of it?"

Jin Cen thought for a while: "Probably because he wants to feel at ease."

Lu Xiaoman laughed, "You don't have a conscience, do you?" He didn't have the nerve to say, "You really have a conscience?"

Jin Cen shook his head: "It's not that I have a bad conscience. If I make others miserable, it feels different. You are different."

Lu Xiaoman was almost confused by the affectionate and gentle appearance of the other party, because he really couldn't figure out why Jin Cen would waste his time and energy if Jin Cen didn't like him. "Do you want me to come back to you?" he asked tentatively.

For a while, Jin Cen just stared into Lu Xiaoman's eyes without speaking.The serious look made Lu Xiaoman quickly add: "You know, that's what I asked."

Finally, Jin Cen spoke. "I know," he said, his voice quiet and soft. "Don't worry, I'm getting to the age where I know my hopes won't all come true."

Lu Xiaoman was unconsciously stunned by the sudden lines.He had never been sad about his youth, and he didn't feel that he was getting old, but the once high-spirited man suddenly expressed his powerlessness with emotion, and his body was inexplicably saddened.Lu Xiaoman hates Jin Cen, who is omnipotent and omnipotent, but the man standing in front of him lacks the sharp shape he used to have, and even the calmness of all strategizing shows a sense of languid powerlessness.

"... Forget it, let's let it go." It was probably the first time that Lu Xiaoman used a non-hostile tone, and he sighed unconsciously, "I really don't want you to help me, but you also Don't worry too much, I won't make myself feel bad."

"If you don't want to owe me favors, I can provide you with the opportunity to earn treatment fees."

Lu Xiaoman spread his hands: "I accept your job, don't I owe you a favor?"

"As long as this is a job you are competent for, you can repay the favor with the results of your work."

"What job?" Although I felt that I would definitely refuse, it was not too shameful to hear that I was refusing.

Jin Cen quickly replied: "Yan Yan is planning to release a single recently, and I would like to ask you to direct his MV."

This is a proposal beyond Lu Xiao's expectations.Those who had already opened their mouths to refuse hesitated.Directing a movie is a labor-intensive thing. If you don’t put enough effort into it, you won’t feel it’s worth it. But MVs are different. Shooting a MV is just a matter of a day or two. Even if you don’t intend to entertain others, it’s good to entertain yourself. , this is Yan Yan's MV.Lu Xiaoman couldn't help itching.

Jin Cen could clearly see Lu Xiaoman's excited expression, and took advantage of the victory to chase after him: "I'll ask someone to pass the demo to me later, let me listen to it first?"

"No need," Lu Xiaoman had a better way, "I'll just ask Yan Yan to sing to me at night." He didn't know that Yan Yan could sing, and he was looking forward to hearing if the other party would go out of tune.

Facing Lu Xiaoman's blurted words, Jin Cen quickly replaced his slightly stiff expression with a nonchalant smile: "That's right, you have the live version to listen to."

Lu Xiaoman returned to the topic: "I will consider the MV director job. If I accept it, I hope this matter will end here. From now on, you don't need to pay attention to my situation."

Jin Cen fell silent again.It took him a long time to sigh: "Xiao Man, it's normal for you not to regard me as a friend, but I want to care about you as a friend. Wishful thinking is not an unforgivable mistake, right?"

People who have always been good at reasoning were stunned by Jin Cen's logic.

"Don't worry, I won't disturb you." Jin Cen said again, gently letting go of the door that had been blocked all the time, "Before preparing dinner, you can rest for a while. I'll go first."

Lu Xiaoman blankly watched Jin Cen's leaving back disappear into the corner of the corridor before closing the door.He believed more and more that Jin Cen wanted to do something for him out of good intentions, but he would rather that the other party was still the cold, self-interested man who was good at manipulating tricks.This is the true face of Jin Cen that he took four years to see clearly. He doesn't want to make another mistake in his judgment and spend a longer time discovering that the other party is not trustworthy at all.

In the evening, Yan Yan, who returned to the inn, came to Lu Xiaoman's room immediately - of course, he usually did the same, but today he had a clearer purpose.

"I happened to receive a call from my agent just now, he said that my cousin wants to ask you to shoot my MV?"

Lu Xiaoman squinted at the other party's surprised expression: "Why, are you afraid I won't be able to shoot your MV?"

"Of course not! I used to dream that you directed the second movie at most, but I never dared to think that you would direct my MV!"

Yan Yan's compliment was very successful. "That is, if it wasn't for your sake, how could I direct the MV?" Lu Xiaoman said with a smile.

Yan Yan laughed unknowingly: "Because my cousin said that a person named Lu Xiaoman directed the MV, the manager was still wondering, asking me who is Lu Xiaoman."

"Then how do you answer?"

"I said that Lu Xiaoman is not a great god, he is my male god, and most importantly, he is still my boyfriend."

"Is your manager crying?"

"He cried and begged me to keep a low profile and not cause trouble for him. I think he is very nervous, maybe he will come to visit the class in the next two days."

"Actually, just because of your nature, your manager has been keeping you wild, and he has a big heart."

Yan Yan complained for herself: "I've never been the one to cause trouble... At most, I will cause trouble."

Lu Xiaoman suppressed a smile and said, "From now on, I will be responsible for accompanying you in trouble, and your manager will be responsible for cleaning up the situation."
