A Nameless Rain Chapter 1

At the end of this year, paparazzi also have to rush for performance. In just one week, domestic entertainment broke out two breaking news: "a popular girl's hidden marriage" and "a well-known actor's affair". The evidence was conclusive, and Weibo crashed twice in a row, leaving everyone stunned. netizen.

The paparazzi who broke the news is named "Blaine Yu" and he is a new face who just debuted this year.

This person is shameless and calls himself the Great Immortal. He claims to have absolutely no lies. He used to have less than 10,000 fans on all platforms. After these two battles, his number of followers on Weibo alone has exceeded one million in the blink of an eye.

All Weibo netizens crowded into the comment area of   Blaine Yu to discuss the details of two pieces of gossip.

Xiaohua, who is secretly married, is on the rise in her career. This year, a costume idol drama was released. The heroine's sober and independent persona attracted countless fans. The agency struck while the iron was hot and created an image for her that is "career-minded and not interested in love." Unexpectedly, she was accused of having a secret marriage, and her husband was an outsider. What's even more exaggerated is that even the company didn't know when she got married. Netizens joked that she did a good job of keeping it secret, but it was a pity that she didn't escape the glare of the paparazzi.

The actor who cheated on his wife had the same contrast: he had the image of a good man who had run the family for many years, but in fact, he had more mistresses outside the house than he could count on one hand, and he even visited prostitutes.

If hidden marriage is just criticized by people, the persona collapses, and fans are disappointed, then cheating and prostitution is discredited, shameless to everyone, and also involves breaking the law.

The two pieces of news broke out within a week, and the people's desire for gossip was greatly satisfied. New memes appeared frequently and hot searches continued.

But no matter how hot an event is, there will be a day when it cools down. When the heat dissipates and there is nothing left to pick up, netizens walk away and disperse. Some good people ask in disinterest: "Is there any new material?"

The netizen just mentioned it casually and did not expect the paparazzi to answer.

Blaine Yu forwarded this comment and released an eye-catching new melon trailer ------ "The final drama of the year, revealing the top male surnamed Z and his behind-the-scenes financial backers. On the last day of 2023, see you there or not." "

As soon as the trailer came out, Silas Zhong became a hot search topic, with a dark red word "explosion" hanging after his name.

**

December 28, afternoon, Silas Zhong’s house.

Manager Delia Tang threw Blaine Yu's true information on the coffee table and said angrily: "I asked someone to find out. He, a ninth-rate reporter who was fired by a third-rate tabloid, dares to make trouble on Tai Sui?!"

Opposite Delia Tang, "Tai Sui" Silas Zhong himself was leaning on the sofa, listening expressionlessly and saying nothing.

The new drama wrapped yesterday. Silas Zhong had enough of staying in the hotel in the film and television city and returned to Haijing City all night. He didn't even get a good night's sleep before he was pushed to the forefront by negative news.

There are many male stars in the industry whose last name begins with "Z" in pinyin, but only Silas Zhong is qualified to be considered a top star.

Blaine Yu is currently in the limelight, and his credit has not gone bankrupt like other paparazzi. If he says that top netizens believe him, then there is no other choice but Silas Zhong.

Silas Zhong actually has a sponsor?

Both those who like him and those who don't like him are shocked: Where is the promised clean stream in the entertainment industry? It turns out that he is also a person who sells his status.

In just a few hours, public opinion reached an alarming level. Some netizens sentenced Silas Zhong to death in advance, even before the real deal was announced. Fortunately, he has enough fans that the trend is not one-sided.

But having many fans is not always a good thing. For example, at this time, Delia Tang's private messages were exploded. Silas Zhong's fans asked her to immediately send a lawyer's letter to clarify, and invited her eighteen generations of ancestors to come out to greet her.

Delia Tang's face became increasingly ugly, but it wasn't because of the fans.

In fact, Silas Zhong has followed the path of a serious actor since his debut seven years ago, and has never been packaged like a popular actor. However, it was too popular and the topic remained high, so it was labeled as "traffic" and could not be removed.

Having said that, not taking the traffic route means that the company doesn't care whether Silas Zhong is popular or not. Having more fans is the icing on the cake. It doesn't matter if he has few fans. Silas Zhong has no shortage of filming and money.

To put it more bluntly: Silas Zhong does have a sponsor, and his status is not ordinary. He is the heir to one of the leading large capital groups in the country, and the only "prince" in the circle, Finn Xi.

Thinking of Finn Xi, Delia Tang subconsciously clenched her phone, feeling trembling in her heart.

She didn't care about scolding the paparazzi, nor was she in the mood to appease her fans. Although she and Silas Zhong were the only two people in the living room, she instinctively lowered her voice and asked cautiously: "Has Mr. Xi contacted you?"

To the right of the sofa is a huge floor-to-ceiling window. The weather is fine, and the sun shines in through the window, illuminating Silas Zhong's face. He looks impeccable, with deep facial features that are almost sculpted. Under the bright light, he doesn't reveal any flaws or emotions. The more panicked the agent becomes, the more calm he is. He says as if it has nothing to do with him: "No."

"Not yet?" Delia Tang frowned anxiously, "What do you mean, Mr. Xi? Have you ever gone without contact for more than three months?"

"Yes, he is very busy and doesn't think of me often."

Delia Tang choked and glanced at him complicatedly.

It's not an accident, Delia Tang understands Finn Xi's personality. She just feels that Silas Zhong is really an emotionally stable person who can still sit still when disaster strikes. This kind of mental state is rare in the entertainment industry like a mental hospital.

And the "disaster" she was thinking of didn't just refer to today's hot searches.

Silas Zhong has been in the industry for seven years, and thanks to Finn Xi's momentum, he has been invincible all the way. No one in his industry, management or media dared to touch him. Even the manager Delia Tang is walking around in the industry and is respectfully called "Sister Yu". She has an unparalleled reputation.

For seven years, apart from a few innocuous gossips, Silas Zhong had almost no negative news.

But three months ago, Finn Xi suddenly went on a business trip to the UK and has not returned yet.

There are rumors that His Highness the Crown Prince went to London to meet his future Crown Princess under the guise of a business trip. The other party comes from the same big family, and Finn Xi is from the same family, so they are a good match. Another rumor said that the marriage was a request made by the Xi family. If Finn Xi did not obey the family's arrangements, he would not be able to inherit the "throne."

These rumors may have some substance, but they are by no means fabricated. It was confirmed a few days ago: the legendary princess is a socialite with many fans. She posted a photo with Finn Xi on social networks. The location was not London, but a Hawaiian beach. It was suspected that the two were together. People travel together and their relationship has progressed.

When Delia Tang saw this post, he happened to be filming with Silas Zhong in the film and television city. In the lounge, Silas Zhong lay back on a deep chair with indifferent eyes. Delia Tang handed him the phone to look at, but he didn't even raise his eyelids, as if he wasn't interested in Finn Xi's personal affairs.

Delia Tang admired his mentality, but was also frightened. The two of them had a tacit understanding: if Finn Xi gets married, Silas Zhong will be abandoned.

When Silas Zhong fell, the agent's glory came to an end.

Delia Tang couldn't help but think about the people she had offended in the past. I'm afraid it would be worse now. The entertainment industry was constantly changing, and there was no shortage of people who would add insult to injury and retaliate. Even if he has never offended anyone, Silas Zhong will be stepped into the mud in order to compete for resources.

The hot search news in Blaine Yu is a sign.

------Only a fool believes that the puppy has extraordinary abilities and is nothing more than a "domestic dog". I don't know who has received black money from some force and took the opportunity to target Silas Zhong.

The so-called prediction is a kind of temptation. They dare not identify the financial owner, but it is very easy to discredit Silas Zhong. If Finn Xi is still willing to support Silas Zhong, the matter can be easily solved. If Finn Xi has left Silas Zhong behind and struggled through today, there will be another calamity.

From beginning to end, there were no fans or opponents in Silas Zhong's world, only Finn Xi.

Finn Xi is the earth that makes him successful, and the sky that is enough to destroy him.

Delia Tang felt cold and had no idea. Looking at Silas Zhong again, he still looks like he is always mentally stable. He looks like an agent, while Delia Tang looks like an artist. The emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is.

"I haven't slept in two days," Silas Zhong suddenly said, "You should go back to the company first. We can talk about this after I wake up."

Delia Tang: ...

"No, you can still sleep?" Delia Tang grabbed his hair with both hands and collapsed, "I'm really afraid that Mr. Xi will bring his fiancée back to China in a few days, and you and I will be dead by then."

Hearing these words, Silas Zhong finally gave her a look that wasn't perfunctory, but the emotion conveyed in his eyes was clearly "I'll die, I just don't want to live anymore", or "It doesn't matter if the earth explodes".

Delia Tang almost had a heart attack, but suddenly realized that he might not be mentally stable, but that his mood was so bad that there was no room for decline.

As the saying goes, it takes less than a day to freeze three feet. In Delia Tang's view, the current crisis between Silas Zhong and Finn Xi is definitely not a matter of the Xi family, Finn Xi, or the parachute fiancée. It was purely Silas Zhong who asked for it.

"Hey, when you were with him seven years ago, I thought we were prosperous in this life. Even if you can't be a real crown princess, you can at least be a demon Concub!ne who brings disaster to the country. I will follow you to heaven and enjoy the world. ...But after seven years, why are you still not favored? Have you ever thought about it? "

The agent started reading the almanac again. Silas Zhong found her annoying, got up, hid in front of the window, and opened the window.

The weather in late December looked sunny, but was actually bone-chillingly cold. Silas Zhong's thin shirt was blown by the wind, and the cold air penetrated his heart and lungs, but he seemed unable to feel it. There was a dull and closed silent temperament exuding from his whole person.

He always does. It was okay if nothing happened, but whenever something happened - for example, he and Finn Xi had a conflict for some unknown reason, Delia Tang would be frightened and asked him to apologize to Finn Xi immediately, but he ignored it.

Finn Xi's temper isn't actually bad, but it definitely can't be called good. Silas Zhong is not a qualified lover and is not attentive enough to his financial sponsor, but Finn Xi doesn't care about it just because he doesn't notice it.

As Silas Zhong said, Finn Xi is very busy and rarely thinks of him. Every time they meet, there is almost no communication except going to bed. He occasionally behaves abnormally, and Finn Xi can't see him.

The essence of being invisible is not caring.

Even Delia Tang, a bystander, couldn't help but lament that His Highness the Crown Prince was so ruthless. He was not moved at all by his pillow companion who had been with him for seven years and a star who was sought after by millions of people.

Fortunately, Silas Zhong was not tempted, otherwise Delia Tang would have pitied him. The world is so big, who can you like? Liking Finn Xi is just a daydream and asking for torture.

But no matter what, Finn Xi was not wrong.

What could the donor do wrong?

Delia Tang sighed: "I have said before that you should be more enthusiastic and respectful towards him. He is your financial sponsor, not your boyfriend. What's the use of your talk about equality of personality? He doesn't care about what you think. But. You don’t listen, have you listened?”

Silas Zhong turned a deaf ear.

"If he doesn't look for you, won't you look for him? Can you take the initiative? ------Send a message, make a phone call, and ask him if he is in the UK or the United States and can he make time to see you. Just act coquettishly and sell it. Damn it, beg him to nod, then buy a ticket and fly there immediately. Opportunities are earned, do you understand? "

Silas Zhong is not stupid, of course he understands, he just doesn't want to do it. As for why he was unwilling, Delia Tang never understood.

To put it bluntly, he has already been taken care of, so why should he set up a noble memorial arch?

But Silas Zhong does have some aloofness. The only person who is arrogant and arrogant outside is Ms. Tang herself. Silas Zhong has never had this problem. Silas Zhong also hardly interacts with anyone. His interpersonal relationships are maintained by his agent. He doesn't look at other people's flattery, envy or jealousy. He has no hobbies except filming.

Thinking about it this way, he is really a taciturn and boring person. The fact that Finn Xi was able to keep him for seven years was not something that could be explained by "not realizing it". It was probably because Silas Zhong had a good face and his irreplaceable appearance was his core competitiveness.

Delia Tang sighed and said: "Ancestor, are you listening to what I'm saying? You------"

Before he finished speaking, Silas Zhong's cell phone placed on the coffee table suddenly rang.

Delia Tang lowered his head and saw that the caller ID showed ";", a semicolon.

Delia Tang was speechless for a moment, guessing that it was Finn Xi------Silas Zhong looked like the Riddler. The note name given to Finn Xi before was a pause, but recently it was changed to a semicolon for some reason. Anyway, it was always a punctuation mark. No duplicates.

But Finn Xi called in person, indicating that things didn't seem too bad.

Delia Tang said nervously: "Hurry up!"

Silas Zhong answered the phone, opened the door, nodded at the manager with a cold look, pointed at the elevator to rush out the passengers: "You can go."

He said "go" and his expression clearly said "get out".

Delia Tang: ...

**

At the same time, Finn Xi was neither in the UK nor the United States. The plane back home had landed this morning, but he did not notify anyone, not even the driver. The accompanying secretary drove him home.

Finn Xi doesn't live with the Xi family, so naturally he returns to his own home. On the bank of Ming Lake, there is a three-story white villa with a vast courtyard and surrounded by gardens. It is usually taken care of by a housekeeper and a gardener. But taking care of the flowers and plants is not the first priority. The most important thing is to take good care of the two precious pimple-like dogs at home.

A border collie and an Alaskan. At nine o'clock in the morning, before the scornful Bentley drove through the gate, they heard the familiar sound of a car and rushed out of the courtyard before the housekeeper. They squatted on the left and right at the door to greet their master's return skillfully.

Finn Xi has a slight mysophobia. She likes dogs but does not allow them to pounce on her unscrupulously and act coquettishly. The two big dogs have been strictly trained and enthusiastically pick at the car door. When the owner gets out of the car, they only wag their tails reservedly and rub his face gently. Suits and pants are more cute and well-behaved than small dogs.

"Be good." Finn Xi stroked the dog's hair as a reward, untied his tie with a tired look on his face, took off his coat and gave it to the housekeeper, and walked upstairs with his long legs.

After more than ten hours of flying, she was exhausted and jet lagged. Finn Xi washed away all the travel dust, closed the bedroom curtains tightly, and slept until the afternoon.

After waking up, he took another shower and finally felt more comfortable. He put on his bathrobe and went downstairs to call Silas Zhong.

The clock points to two o'clock in the afternoon, and the aroma of food wafts from the kitchen. The housekeeper is walking the big dog, and the secretary is dealing with recent domestic affairs in front of the sofa. This secretary is called Mara Fang, who is responsible for taking care of Finn Xi's personal life, so he mainly handles family affairs and social invitations.

When Finn Xi went downstairs, Secretary Fang glanced up subconsciously. The man walking down the stairs slowly wore a loose bathrobe and was covered in dampness. His slightly long hair hung down on his neck, and the water droplets slid down his cold white skin and fell into his chest. The scenery inside the clothes is fascinating.

But after just one glance, the secretary looked away politely. ------ Finn Xi is different from those celebrities who are exposed to the camera all year round. His appearance cannot be evaluated, and praising him for his beauty is also offensive.

"Where are you? Come and have dinner with me." Finn Xi sat on the other side of the sofa and spoke to Silas Zhong, her lazy voice exuding a private and heart-warming flavor.

Secretary Fang couldn't hear what the other party answered, but he knew it was Silas Zhong. His face was slightly hesitant and he had something to report.

Finn Xi caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye, moved the phone slightly away and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Something happened today, look." Mara Fang opened Weibo and showed Finn Xi the hot searches.

The public opinion turmoil has fermented until now, and there have been more than one or two negative articles about Silas Zhong. Finn Xi glanced at it casually, not paying much attention to it: "You have to ask me about such a small matter, and you can't handle it?"

... Secretary Fang hesitated.

Finn Xi's attention returned to the call and said to Silas Zhong, "Yes, I'm back in China."

"I came back alone, otherwise?"

He had no intention of talking much, even though he and Silas Zhong hadn't seen each other for three months.

When was your last date?

Finn Xi recalled it, the specific time and place were blurred, but the process reappeared clearly in his mind.

Silas Zhong has a silent personality, he is silent when doing things, but he is very devoted and exerts great force. Finn Xi sometimes likes it and sometimes doesn't like it, it is as random as the unpredictable weather in Haijing City.

That night, he happened to be in a state that he didn't like, but Silas Zhong was more rude than usual for some reason. Finn Xi frowned and pushed the person away, saying displeasedly: "If you are in a bad mood, don't come to my place to vent. Who will take care of you?" who?"

...

Silas Zhong was kicked out of the house with just one word, and then they were separated for three months.

In fact, it was not that we had no contact for three months. A week later, Silas Zhong sent a message asking him: "Are you angry with me?"

Finn Xi didn’t reply. It wasn't that he didn't reply because he was being awkward. He didn't have such childish emotions in his heart. It was simply because he was busy at the time and didn't remember it after he was done.

About a month later, late at night, Silas Zhong sent another message: "It's raining." Attached was a picture of a window view casually taken in a movie city hotel.

Finn Xi was about to reply when he found that the message had been withdrawn.

Silas Zhong seemed to have sent the message to the wrong person.

This made Finn Xi a little unhappy. But emotions are subtle things. Even though he was unhappy, it was not strong enough to warrant getting angry. Finn Xi just frowned and pretended it didn't happen.

After that, Silas Zhong lost his voice until today.

On the other end of the phone, after the two briefly chatted, Silas Zhong said "Okay": "I'll be there soon."

Finn Xi put down her phone, glanced at the secretary opposite, and asked keenly: "Do you have something to say?"

Secretary Fang is capable and extremely cautious. Everything he reports to Finn Xi has been thoroughly investigated and carefully considered.

"Before dealing with hot searches," Mara Fang glanced at Finn Xi carefully and said, "I think I should report to you first. Mr. Zhong has been hiding some unruly actions from you recently..."

Finn Xi was confused: "What?"
