Distributing Sweets Daily Chapter 9

As soon as Leo released his thumb, he saw the latest update of Ethan's Weibo. He liked it and was a little surprised. He couldn't help asking, "You also lurked in the fan group------no, did you study it?"

Shaking his head, Ethan asked calmly, "Have you been there?"

"I------" Damn it, I was almost fooled! Leo thought that the change of words was flawless, "Of course I haven't been there. I'm just curious, how do you know the professional term 'fading'?"

"Learned it from fans." Ethan did not expose it, and clicked on the comment section of his recent Weibo posts to show Leo, "They are begging for sugar, begging to be in the same frame, and begging to be combined with the ancient city CP, every day. You will understand naturally if you read more."

"That's right!" Leo couldn't help but stretched out his hand and rubbed his ears. He didn't know if it was his imagination. The pronunciation of "Gucheng cp" was spoken by Ethan, with a hint of indescribable charm. He quietly took a look at the serious expression on the other party's face and thought that maybe it was really his illusion?

While Ethan was packing his luggage for tomorrow, Leo secretly opened the Weibo comment section and immediately saw two popular comments that were pushed to the top.

"------Am I the only one who noticed Chang'an's satisfied expression, as if he had eaten something delicious? Am I the only one who realized that Leo must have just taken a bath? The little train in my mind whizzed past, going farther and farther away!"

"------Don't worry! The food-producing master will arrive at the battlefield in five minutes! Fairies can bring their stools and get ready to receive food! Knock on the bowl~"

Thinking of the numerous versions of pornographic articles he had seen last time, Leo subconsciously quit Weibo. After quitting, he questioned himself again: Wait, I didn't write it, why should I feel guilty?!

After Ethan left, Leo's life went as usual, no different from before.

Just when it's time to get off work, I will habitually send the other party a message saying "I'm off work and come to see you for dinner." After sending it, I will withdraw it in a hurry. He knows how to hold two pairs of chopsticks. The first thing he does when he rushes out of the bedroom in the morning is to shout "Ethan", and then he hurriedly asks himself how long he will be late...

Every time he realized that Ethan was still abroad, he would be stunned for a few seconds.

So when he heard Aaron mention Ethan on the phone, Leo subconsciously looked at the closed bedroom door, and after a few seconds he came back to his senses, "Brother Zheng, what did you just say?"

"I was just asking, have you seen Director Zhang in the past few days?"

"No, I know Director Zhang, the screenwriter, and a few crew members are also in Qinli Town, but they are hiding very well. Ethan and I have never met them once." The two have been working together for several years. Leo sensitively sensed something from the other's words, "Did something happen?"

"I haven't confirmed it yet, but I thought I'd better talk to you first." Aaron didn't hesitate and said directly, "Do you remember Ishihara Hiroshi?"

"I remember. I ran into him once when I was on a promotional video." Leo tried to dig out the memories related to this person from his mind. "He seemed to be good-looking. He was from Haiying Media."

Haiying is their rival company, and the two companies often quarrel with each other.

"It's him. I received news that Hiroshi Ishihara's agent is contacting Director Zhang."

Leo paused, then immediately reacted, "He wants to steal my role?" At the same time, the relationships between the characters in his mind instantly became a line.

Ishihara Hiroshi's agent Wu Bi was the gold medalist in Haiying Media's agency department. The main reason why he rose so quickly back then was that he poached then-actor Yun Shu from Youli Entertainment. From that time on, even if Aaron and Wu Bi met, they treated each other as nothing.

But this time, Aaron and Leo tricked Yun Shu so hard that Wu Bi must be trying to get the situation back.

"This is the news." Aaron knew that Leo was always clear-headed, so the two of them would discuss everything together. "Wu Bi is targeting the role you have. Director Zhang initially chose you and Ethan as the two male leads because he valued Ethan's amazing acting skills and the fact that he is a familiar face on the jury of international film festivals, which is almost a guarantee of winning an award.

But Ethan's shortcomings are also obvious. He has only two works, does not accept endorsements, variety shows or interviews, and is not very popular. Although your acting skills are not as good as Ethan's, and you have not won any serious awards, you have strong box office appeal, high topic attention, and a good fan base and popularity. So you and Ethan are complementary. "

Leo continued, "Director Zhang's goal is to win an award, so Ethan will definitely not be replaced. But I am different. There are many people who can replace me to play this role."

He has always been very sober, and although he is indeed popular, he is not the only one who is popular.

"Yes," Aaron said bluntly, "such as Ishihara Hiroshi. Wu Bi saw this clearly, so he has been clearing the joints."

Leo didn't say anything like "the contract has been signed, and the first wave of enthusiasm has already started." It's not uncommon to make substitutions on the spot, not to mention that filming hasn't started yet. If you really change it, you can bring up a new topic.

"I'll find time to have a meal with Director Zhang in the next two days to see what's going on."

"I'll go and hear the news again." After saying that, Aaron suddenly changed the topic, "I saw before that you updated your Weibo with a photo of you and Ethan?"

Immediately understanding what Aaron meant, Leo replied directly, "I promised Ethan not to drag him into promoting CP. Besides, even if I put Gucheng CP at the top of the hot search, the press release will be everywhere, and the crew and management will have to change. People don’t know how to change.”

"Okay, then. I'll listen to you." Aaron always respected Leo's opinions. He gave him a few more instructions before hanging up the phone.

Throwing his phone onto the sofa, Leo looked at the dark clouds outside and said, "It's going to rain again."

Montreal.

It was exactly half past twelve when Ethan got home. He had been in the studio for five whole days, working so hard that he felt listless and his face looked even paler.

Aunt Jiang, the housekeeper, asked the servant to take his luggage, and said in a somewhat reserved tone, "The bath water has been prepared for you. Master Chang Yin did not go to the company today, so he is waiting for you in the reception room."

"Meeting room?" Ethan rubbed his temples twice, "Tell my brother that I will go to see him in thirty minutes."

"Okay, Master Chang'an."

When Ethan changed his clothes and went to the reception room, he saw an old acquaintance sitting opposite his brother, turned around and wanted to leave.

Qi Changyin seemed to have eyes on his back, "Ethan, don't try to pretend you haven't been here."

Forced to stop, Ethan sat down next to his brother with a solemn face, and nodded to the middle-aged man with brown hair and blue eyes opposite him, "Dr. Holman, nice to see you."

Holman had been Ethan's attending physician for fourteen years, and he knew very well Ethan's resistance and distrust of doctors. He smiled and replied, "You may not be so happy to see me, but I am very happy. Your body The condition is better than I expected."

He got straight to the point. "I got feedback from your life assistant, Mr. Liang, that you had a relapse about ten days ago?"

"Yes, the initial symptom was stomach pain, followed by a sudden high fever. I could only see things about one meter away with my right eye, and I completely lost hearing in my right ear." Qi Chang'an's tone was calm and objective. He didn't sound like he was describing his own illness, and even sounded a bit nonchalant.

After describing the situation in detail again, Holman stood up and left after taking notes. There were only two brothers left in the reception room. Both of them were quiet and silent for a while.

Qi Changyin is six years older than Ethan and has been in a high position for many years, but he always deliberately restrains himself in front of his younger brother. He spoke first, "Did you fly back directly from California?"

"Yeah, I'm in a hurry." Ethan took a sip of strong tea to refresh himself, "I promised others that I would go back in about a week."

Thinking that Ethan had already made an appointment with the director, Qi Changyin saw that he looked tired and didn't have the heart to ask more questions, "Go and rest first, and we can talk about other things after you wake up."

"Well, brother, remember to call me when it's time for dinner." After saying that, Ethan stood up and turned to walk out.

"Ethan." Qi Changyin looked at the other person's back and subconsciously lowered his voice. "In a few days it will be the anniversary of my parents' death. You------"

"I'm going back to the room first." Ethan interrupted his brother's unfinished words with a cold expression.

When Ethan walked out of the reception room door, Qi Changyin showed a wry smile------As expected, he was anxious again.

Returning to his bedroom, Ethan closed the door and found that the furnishings in the room had not changed at all. Even the book on the table was still on the page he was reading before he left.

Lying on his back on the bed, Ethan did not move for a long time. After about ten minutes, he took out his phone and checked the time. It should be 1:30 in the morning in Qinli Town. He wondered if Leo had rested. After hesitating for a few seconds, Ethan opened Weibo first. Because he only followed Leo, he saw his latest update on the homepage.

"Can't sleep qaq." The time was ten minutes ago.

Ethan paused with his finger on the "Forward" button for two seconds, then gave up and dialed Leo's number directly.

"Chang'an?" Leo's voice was very energetic.

"Well, it's me." The tense string in his heart slowly relaxed, and Ethan closed his eyes, "Can't sleep?"

Leo huddled in the blanket. He felt that Ethan's voice was a bit too soft, so he subconsciously held the phone a little further away from his ears, "Have you seen my Weibo? To be honest, it's been brewing for half a year." I still failed to fall asleep during the hour, and I was struggling with whether to get up and mop the floor or something. Maybe I would fall asleep after working. "

Turning over on the bed, Leo inexplicably felt that something was wrong with Ethan. He seemed to be particularly tired, but not completely --- just listening to the voice made him feel a little sad.

"Chang'an, what happened over there...?"

"It's nothing." It's just that it's too quiet around me and I want to hear your voice.
