1990-chapter-1
The white nany car was parked on the side of the road.
Lin Yan leaned on the back of the chair, holding the phone loosely and checking the messages that kept coming in.
[Director of Ambiguous Minds: Oh, Teacher Lin, you arrived too early; even Qi Wen hasn’t arrived yet-]
[Director of Ambiguous Mind: Mysterious guests are always the last to arrive, and I want to surprise the audience, so I have to bother you to come in later-]
Lin Yan moved his fingers and replied “Ok.”
Ambiguous Mind is a romance variety show, and it’s the first love variety show to use a live broadcast format. The selling point is that the stars’ reactions are unscripted.
There are six guests in total, four of whom are currently officially announced, two men and two women, with the remaining two only a profile picture with a question mark. The official only stated that a mysterious celebrity joined in surprise, which completely raised the expectations.
“Ugh—”
The car door was opened, and a chubby man got in.
Yang Shu looked bad: “Mr. Qian called and asked you to take care of Qi Wen.”
Lin Yan wore a Bluetooth headset in one ear and casually played a classic ghost movie, and said “Oh” without emotion.
Yang Shu looked at his cold side profile, heard the casualness in his tone, and didn’t try to persuade him anymore.
If there was anyone who does not want Lin Yan to take this variety show, it’s definitely him.
Lin Yan has been in the industry for five years, but due to a lack of resources, he has stayed as 18th-line celebrity.
Lin Yan was discovered by a cutting-edge director and starred in a literary film called “Black River” the year before last, which was his first leading role in a film.
When the film was released last year, it became an unexpected hit.
Lin Yan even won the Dragon Award for Best Actor for his role as Black River.
So far, his career has advanced to a new level, and he no longer needs to fill minor roles in various crews.
Now is the rising period of his career, but the boss suggests that Lin Yan lead Qi Wen and speculate on CP.
Lin Yan is clearly being treated as a blood bag, completely disregarding the possibility of harming Lin Yan’s reputation.
Yang Shu was outraged and argued with the boss several times. The boss became impatient and went over them. He took over the affair and cooked the raw rice for them.
Yang Shu almost fainted.
But what surprised him was Lin Yan’s attitude.
After Lin Yan heard about it, he only threw two words at him: “Got it.”
Yang Shu: “??”
The person in question had no objection, what else can he say as a manager?
Yang Shu has never been able to control Lin Yan when it comes to picking up jobs.
But this matter made him very puzzled. After asking several times, Lin Yan didn’t tell him the reason.
This matter stuck in Yang Shu’s mind, so he poked Lin Yan who was focused on watching the film: “You don’t really have an interest in Qi Wen, do you?”
Lin Yan looked up at him without saying a word.
Yang Shu seemed to see the words “caring for the mentally retarded” in these beautiful but emotionless eyes.
Yang Shu: “Just say it, otherwise, could it be a bodhisattva manifesting and going to the countryside to help the poor?”
Lin Yan’s lips moved slightly, and just as he was about to speak, someone knocked lightly on the car window twice.
He turned his head to look.
The handsome young man bent down slightly and smiled politely at the car: “Excuse me, is this Teacher Lin Yan?”
Lin Yan lowered the car window and asked politely, “Who are you?”
The young man paused with a slight smile: “Teacher Lin, we met in the company. I’m Qi Wen.”
Lin Yan ignored the people’s awkwardness and nodded coldly: “Hello.”
Qi Wen looked at Lin Yan’s expressionless face and muttered in his heart.
Mr. Qian told him that he had already told Lin Yan, but it didn’t look like he had said it to him.
Qi Wen straightened his thoughts, smiled, and offered: “Since we ran into each other, let’s go in together?”
Lin Yan rebuffed straight away: “No.”
Qi Wen: “…”
“I am the mystery guest,” Lin Yan said as he lowered his eyes and tapped twice on the phone screen to pause the video.
Qi Wen: “…”
Why, it isn’t a mystery anymore if he walks with him?
Qi Wen paused for two seconds before continuing his efforts and looking at Lin Yan’s phone screen: “What film is Teacher Lin currently watching? Could you please recommend it to me?”
His heart almost stopped beating when he lowered his head.
The pale-faced female ghost stared at him off-screen with two lines of blood and tears flowed from her eyes.
Qi Wen: “Ahhh!!”
Lin Yan’s hand flinched, and the phone he was holding slipped and fell to the ground.
He knelt to pick up the phone, looked at Qi Wen, who was still shocked, and said flatly, “You scared me.”
Qi Wen: “??”
Who scared who?!
Lin Yan wiped off the dust on the screen, “The movie is good to watch, but you don’t have to be so excited. This movie is called ‘It’s Warm Under the Bed’.”
Qi Wen: “…”
Qi Wen stiffly raised the corners of his lips as he looked at Yang Shu, who had a suppressed smile on his face, then at Lin Yan, who had an innocent face, and said, “Thank you for the teacher’s recommendation, I will go to watch it. Then I won’t bother you, I’ll go in first and wait for you.”
He dropped this sentence and quickly left with the suitcase.
Qi Wen was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would have even more heart attacks.
When Qi Wen’s back disappeared into the small villa at the end of the road, Yang Shu couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Lin Yan glanced at him: “Don’t spray your saliva on the car.”
Yang Shu covered his face and said while laughing, “If I didn’t know your character, I would think you did it on purpose.”
Lin Yan: “?”
Yang Shu laughed until his face turned red and then took out a black bag from his briefcase, “I bought this especially for you, you can read it when you have time.”
Lin Yan opened it, and there were two books inside— “Teaching You to Become a High EQ” and “People with High EQ Talk Like This.”
“Uh…” Fifteen minutes later, Lin Yan received a message from the director, telling him he could go in.
The car started and slowly drove into the shooting area.
At this time, the “Ambiguous Mind” was live broadcast.
[Currently known guests include singer Zhou Xianyin, Huang Ying, who also has classic songs, Jiang Didi, the Little Flower, and new actor Qi Wen.]
[The two singers and two actors are quite average, and the remaining mysterious celebrities should also be a man and a woman, right?]
[I am not interested in this show, I just want to know who the mysterious guest is, and I feel uncomfortable if I don’t know.]
[Here it comes, here comes the car!!!]
The car is parked in front of the villa.
The door opened and a person came out.
The youth was tall and slim, dressed in black sportswear with the collar zipped to the top, the exposed eyebrows and eyes are extremely delicate, especially the pair of eyes, beautifully shaped, as if dipped in the cold dew of the late autumn morning, with a slightly cool atmosphere.
The barrage fell into silence.
Three seconds later, there was an explosion of question marks filling the screen.
[What??]
[This unique aura… is Lin Yan, right?]
[This is Lin Yan? I have only watched “Black River.” In the movie, he is dark and wretched, in person actually so handsome?]
[The problem is that, even if there is no script for a love variety show, it requires a sweet atmosphere, and Lin Yan really will not push away the people who want to get close to him?]
[Lin Yan’s qualifications are still lacking, right? Using the words of a big shot is a bit of a stretch.]
[Is it possible that he is in charge of mystery, and another person is in charge of big shot? Anyway, I was shocked when he came to the Loves Variety.]
Lin Yan couldn’t see the barrage and took the suitcase from the car as usual.
Yang Shu also handed over the package of books, “And this one, keep it well.”
Lin Yan didn’t really want to take it.
But Yang Shu was already one step ahead of him, stuffing the book into his hand and neatly closing the car door.
“Uh…” Lin Yan pulled the suitcase into the villa without further delay.
The villa was warmly decorated in pale yellow tones with lovely decorations everywhere.
Lin Yan was dressed in all black like a killer who strayed into a fairy tale world full of incompatibility.
He went into the room in silence to change his shoes, and when he picked up a pair of rabbit ear slippers from the shoe rack, he immediately put them back as if he had been scalded.
[The rabbit ears are really embarrassing 23333]
[There is another pair of rose-colored ones on the shoe rack, that one is more embarrassing, right?]
It’s quite embarrassing.
Lin Yan squatted on the ground, holding a pair of brightly colored slippers in his hand, and as he looked at the upright white sentences on the shoes, he felt the program group’s deep malice.
—Taishan Hospital, regaining its glory.
Lin Yan closed his eyes, didn’t think for long, and humiliatingly changed into rabbit ears.
The four guests began to pay attention to Lin Yan as early as he entered the door.
As soon as he approached, except for Qi Wen who had known about it for a long time, the other three were quite surprised.
Lin Yan stood still and briefly introduced himself: “Hello everyone, I’m Lin Yan.”
Huang Ying said gently, “Please sit down, do you want some water?”
Lin Yan: “Thank you, but no need.”
Lin Yan went to put the suitcase first and put it in the corner of the living room with the others.
The rooms will be allocated only after all the guests are present, and now they still need to wait for the arrival of the last guest.
The black bag he was carrying was a burden. Lin Yan was going to put it on top of the suitcase, but Qi Wen said, “What is Teacher Lin holding?”
Lin Yan put it succinctly: “A gift.”
Qi Wen’s eyes lit up: “Is it for me… uh, us?”
It was only then that Lin Yan realized that there was a discrepancy in his words.
He didn’t want this at first, but seeing Qi Wen looking at him expectantly, he seemed to want it very much.
Yang Shu’s words rang in his ears: Mr. Qian asked you to take care of Qi Wen.
Lin Yan: “Here you are.”
It’s only two books, and if he gives them to him, it can be considered taking care of him.
The other three exchanged sidelong glances but said nothing; they simply smiled at each other.
After asking about Qi Wen’s company and seeing Lin Yan present, what else do they not understand?
So there was no intention of arguing with Qi Wen.
After receiving the ‘gift,’ Qi Wen’s eyes shone brightly, “Can I open it?”
Lin Yan: “Yes.”
Qi Wen thought that Lin Yan was quite good at it while taking the book out.
Countless pairs of eyes saw the true face of the gift.
“Teaching You to Become a High EQ” and “People with High EQ Talk Like This.”
There was dead silence.
The other three coughed and touched the water glass together after a while as if they were suddenly thirsty.
Qi Wen smiled as he packed the book, and thought tearfully: Why, I just don’t learn the lesson?
The barrage also stagnated for a few seconds before becoming active again.
[I originally wanted to say something to Lin Yan because he didn’t give the other the gift, but… this turned out to be his greatest kindness, I misjudged him.]
[Although, this seems to be what Qi Wen took the initiative to ask for.]
[You want it, so I’ll give it to you, you got it (bushi]
At this moment, an image appeared on the white wall.
The man was leaning against a tree branch, light and shadow dappled all over his body.
He was dressed casually in a flowered shirt with the collar open, revealing a delicate collarbone.
The peach blossom eyes had a smile in them, and sunlight fell on the corners of his eyes and brows, revealing a bit of bright and romantic taste.
Everyone was stunned.
Even a falling needle can be heard in the room instantly.
