Extra 5: Ten years 2
This program was no different from ordinary variety entertainment programs. It invited some celebrity guests to play games, chat, promote their new movies and songs, etc. The ratings depend on whether the host was good or not and whether the guests were popular enough.
If there was anything special about this program, it was recently doing a special episode on entertainment industry couples. To put it simply, it invited some couples who had been married for many years and were still in love to show their affection and satisfy the audience’s gossip psychology. The stars who were still active in the first and second tier could use this to prove that they were not only successful in their careers, but also had a happy family. After all, the entertainment industry had long passed the era when idols dared not make their love affairs public. A stable and loyal relationship would not only not affect popularity, but would also add points to their image. And the artists who had long been out of fashion were also happy to take the opportunity to return to the public’s attention. After all, almost no one would be unhappy about showing off their happiness.
The program team had invited Lu Yan and Su Mo a long time ago. Although Su Mo had always disliked public appearances, people in the circle had long understood his temperament over the years. As long as it concerned Lu Yan, he would step forward no matter how difficult the matter was, not to mention something as simple as recording a program.
Sure enough, after Lu Yan nodded, Su Mo also quickly got a positive response, and this episode became the first TV show for Lu Yan’s close lover, business tycoon Su Mo. This gimmick alone was enough to attract a lot of attention, not to mention that Lu Yan’s own appeal was already extremely strong.
Over the past ten years, Lu Yan’s film career had been going smoothly. He had one or two films released every year, and had won numerous major film awards. His studio was also booming. In addition to Song Yu, he had signed two more promising artists, and each of them had won the Best Actor Award. Shan Chuyu even sighed that it was really meat to eat with Lu Yan, and he wanted to just sign with Lu Yan’s studio. Lu Yan smiled and said, “Okay, as long as President Su nods, I’d love to do it.”
Su Jue stared at the side with his eyes wide open and jumped up and down, saying, “We are a family after all, leave some room for survival, and stop thinking about the pillars of Starry Sky.” The onlookers laughed. In addition, he spared no effort in various public welfare and charity projects. The “Lu Foundation” established by his fans had long become a well-known charity fund at home and abroad, helping many people in need every year. If we talk about his current status in the entertainment industry, Lu Yan dared not say that he was the first, but he was definitely at the top.
In addition, after Lu Yan and Su Mo came out publicly, they no longer knew what it meant to be low-key. As long as they had time, no matter what the occasion, as long as it did not affect their work, they would go out together, never mind paparazzi following them, and even generously disclose their own information. Just like Lu Yan said back then, homosexuals also have true love, and they also hope to have someone to spend their lives with. He was willing to let everyone witness their love. So every time the entertainment industry broke out that a couple who once showed their love were now falling apart, or even fighting, and the former lovers have become enemies, and people sigh that true love was hard to find, someone would bring up the example of Lu Yan and Su Mo to say that true love still exists.
Although the show was recorded, fans who had heard about it gathered under the organization of the official website. In the past, they had to go to nearby universities to invite students to be the audience, but this time it was hard to find a single one. Even when the number of people arranged was full, some fans still used various connections to find the program staff to help them get into the venue.
After the host entered the room, he was not too surprised to see that there were much more audience members than in previous shows. He calmly finished his opening remarks and quickly responded to the crowd’s call to invite two guests out.
Amid applause and spotlights, Lu Yan and Su Mo walked out hand in hand, triggering another wave of screams and cheers. Light signs were also raised one after another. The ones with their names were the simplest, and the rest were full of words like “Lu and Su are always supported” and “The best actor and the president, true love for a lifetime”.
The two of them were still wearing what is known as couple outfits today, clothes from the same series but different colors. Knowing that there would be some gaming segments in the show, they chose less formal clothes to appear more friendly.
There were three hosts, two men and one woman. One of them was Shu Hang, who was familiar to everyone. The other two were not newcomers either. Yu Shu and Chen Jia were both old partners of Shu Hang. Lu Yan had appeared on other programs hosted by them more than once. In fact, other program teams had invited Lu Yan to participate in such a plan, but since he had an old friendship with Shu Hang, he naturally gave face to his old friend first. Moreover, they had cooperated with each other for a long time, so they had a tacit understanding and could have fun.
Sure enough, Shu Hang opened his mouth by congratulating Lu Yan on being nominated for the Best Actor Oscar again. This time, the role he was nominated for was from the movie “Inside Out” in which he collaborated with the famous Hollywood director Joel Griffith.
Shu Hang: Including the time when “The great Detectiv” won the award, this is your third time to be nominated for an Oscar. So, are you confident that you can win another Oscar this time?
Lu Yan smiled and said: One should not be too greedy. I am already very satisfied to be shortlisted.
Shu Hang: But the fans have great confidence in you, don’t you think?
There was a chorus of “yes” from the audience, accompanied by smiling faces.
Lu Yan smiled and waved to everyone: Thank you for your love. I just hope to make a good movie. Winning an award is the icing on the cake. It doesn’t matter if I don’t win. It means I have to work harder.
Shu Hang: Speaking of movies, there will be new movies released soon.
Lu Yan: That’s right, “Wild West” will be released in May, and I hope everyone will support it. After the promotion, it’s time to get down to business.
Shu Hang: Is this Director Su’s first time on the show?
Su Mo nodded: Yes.
Shu Hang: It is a great honor to invite Director Su to participate in our program this time. My colleagues are very jealous of us being able to do a program with Director Su, especially my colleagues from the financial channel, who asked me to ask Director Su a few questions. However, I rejected it sternly, and I guess he is still cursing me in his heart.
Shu Hang said the latter part in a teasing tone, and everyone could tell it was a joke. The audience also laughed along.
Su Mo also curled the corners of his mouth slightly, but said nothing.
Lu Yan glanced at Su Mo and said softly: He usually doesn’t like to show up in public. This time it’s all because of me.
Lu Yan’s expression was too tender, Chen Jia continued the topic: You two are so loving, it’s really enviable.
Lu Yan smiled and said: It’s not easy to find someone who loves you wholeheartedly and can spend a lifetime with you, you should cherish it.
Yu Shu asked jokingly: In recent years, Mr. Lu has basically stopped accepting pure love scenes, let alone kissing scenes. Is it because of this reason?
Su Mo’s voice was a little low: He sacrificed himself for me. Over the years, I have missed many good scripts and roles because of this. In fact, I…
Lu Yan held his hand and said: In fact, even if you don’t take love scenes or shoot intimate scenes, you can still get good scripts and good roles. It’s nothing, and it can’t be called a sacrifice.
Chen Jia looked at Lu Yan with admiration: In fact, we all understand how it feels to see your lover filming an intimate scene with someone else, even though we know it’s fake. But we also understand the helplessness of an actor, so we admire Lu Yan’s determination even more.
Chen Jia’s husband, whom she recently married, was a well-known artist in the entertainment industry, and she could relate to this point.
After the chat started, add in the game session appropriately.
At the beginning, everything was relatively simple. Since they were husband and wife and had been together for so many years, it was inevitable that they would have to test their tacit understanding. They knew each other very well, and the questions designed by the program team were not difficult for them at all. They could give answers to almost all the questions at the same time, and the answers were consistent, the only difference was the expression.
When the game ended, Shu Hang was amazed. She said, “After so many programs and so many guests, your tacit understanding is the highest. I even began to doubt whether you knew the questions in advance and had already discussed the answers.”
At the end of the show, the fans at the scene, under the encouragement of someone unknown, began to shout in unison, “Kiss kiss kiss…”
Lu Yan smiled and looked at Su Mo. Su Mo also smiled. Lu Yan then changed his hand from holding his waist to hugging his waist, and put his other hand on her back. The two exchanged a long kiss.
The show ended amid the screams and cheers of fans.
After recording the show, the two did not go home, but took a private helicopter to the island that belonged only to them.
A few years ago, Lu Yan found time to obtain a helicopter pilot’s license. After that, whenever the two of them wanted to go somewhere, they no longer needed a pilot, and they truly lived in their own world.
It was already past one in the morning when we arrived at our destination, and the helicopter landed directly on the helipad in front of the villa.
This was a very small island, but the scenery was beautiful, with lakes and mountains. Although it was not among the top ten private islands in the world, it was still possible to rank within the top 100.
When Lu Yan first brought Su Mo to this island three years ago, Su Mo was shocked. Lu Yan pulled him to stand on the balcony of the villa, hugged him from behind, pointed at the mountains, water and trees in the distance, smiled and said in his ear, “This whole island belongs to us, just the two of us. Look at that lake, does it look like a star from here? In summer, we can go boating and swimming in the lake; in winter, the lake will freeze, and we can go ice fishing. The fish in the lake are quite fat and taste good. That forest, and that one, do you see it? In spring, we can go for an outing. It is said that there are many birds living there, and you can hear many bird calls that cannot be heard in the city. And that mountain, it is said that there are some wild animals on the mountain. When we are free, we can also try to hunt…”
Before Lu Yan could finish his words, Su Mo turned around and hugged him tightly, so moved that he was speechless.
What moved him was not that Lu Yan bought this island for him and spent almost all of his personal savings. With Su Mo’s financial resources, he could easily buy ten such islands.
Su Mo was touched by his kindness. Lu Yan had probably been planning to give him this gift and surprise a long time ago.
Su Mo was indeed very surprised. Not only was he surprised, but he was even happier.
Lu Yan hugged him, smiling, “I named this island ‘Mo Yan Island’, which means Su Mo and Lu Yan. Do you like it?”
“I like it, I like it very much. This is the best gift I have ever received in my life. Thank you, I love you!” Su Mo buried his head in Lu Yan’s chest, his voice still a little muffled.
The smile on Lu Yan’s face deepened, and he whispered back, “I love you too!”
In the past three years, they have taken time to come here for vacation every year. Usually, they hire a private butler to help manage the island. Before they come, they would inform the private butler in advance, and the butler would prepare enough food and other daily necessities, and then leave for a while, leaving them a real world for two.
The two of them entered the villa, took a shower together and changed into home clothes. Although it was a little late, they were not sleepy yet, so they went to sit in the living room on the first floor. There was a tall fireplace in the living room, which was specially requested by Lu Yan and was also one of Su Mo’s favorite places. The housekeeper had already lit the fireplace before leaving, and the whole house was warm.
Su Mo sat on the sofa holding a glass of red wine, smiling as he watched Lu Yan standing in front of the fireplace playing the violin for him. The melodious music coupled with the gentle expression on Lu Yan’s face made him drunk without even having to drink the red wine in his hand.
When the song ended, Lu Yan put away his piano and walked towards Su Mo. Su Mo looked up at Lu Yan standing in front of him, and handed him the red wine with a smile, “Your violin playing is getting better and better. I feel intoxicated just by listening to it.”
Lu Yan did not take the wine glass, but took Su Mo’s hand and drank the remaining wine in the glass directly from his hand. Then he took the empty wine glass from his arm and put it aside. Then he knelt on one knee beside Su Mo’s legs, put his hands on his shoulders, and slowly bent down.
Su Mo was forced to lean back, and Lu Yan’s lips were already close to his mouth. With a light push of his tongue, he opened his mouth obediently, and the sweet red wine flowed into his mouth along with the tongue. His Adam’s apple, which was particularly prominent because of his upward posture, rolled up and down twice, and a few drops of wine that he had not swallowed in time flowed down the corners of his lips.
Lu Yan sat up contentedly and licked the red wine on his lips. He gently stroked the corner of Su Mo’s lips with his right thumb to wipe away the spilled wine. His eyes slightly curved and he whispered, “So sweet.”
Su Mo grabbed his hand, took his wine-soaked thumb into his mouth, and licked it gently. He looked up at Lu Yan and smiled vaguely, “It’s really sweet.”
Lu Yan’s eyes darkened. He pulled out his fingers, pinched Su Mo’s chin and lifted it up, then leaned forward again.
…..
The next morning, when Lu Yan got up and went downstairs, he saw Su Mo painting on an easel. He walked over and saw that the painting was the scene of Lu Yan standing in front of the fireplace playing the violin last night. Su Mo’s oil painting skills were very good. It could be seen that he had studied for a period of time and he had talent. However, he was too busy at work and rarely had time to sit down and slowly paint a picture.
In the years they had been together, Lu Yan had seen Su Mo paint only a few times, but he was surprised when he saw it for the first time. He didn’t expect that Director Su would choose such a skill point. What made Lu Yan secretly happy and proud was that every time Director Su drew, he was the protagonist on the paper.
It was not until Su Mo finished the last stroke that Lu Yan bent down and hugged his shoulders, looking at the drawing paper carefully and praising, “It’s really beautiful!”
Su Mo looked at him sideways and asked with a smile, “Mr. Lu, are you complimenting me on how good my painting is, or on how good the person in the painting looks?”
Lu Yan smiled slightly, “What does Director Su think?”
Su Mo smiled but didn’t answer. Instead, he said, “Have breakfast first. I cooked some porridge.”
Lu Yan didn’t let go, “Wait a moment, let me hold you first.”
Su Mo could tell that he was in a bad mood, so he grabbed his arm and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Lu Yan shook his head. “Nothing. I just think it would be better if this time could be longer. It’s only a one-week vacation, and it’s almost halfway through. I feel reluctant to leave when I think about it.”
Su Mo sighed, “Sorry.”
Lu Yan whispered, “It’s not just your problem. I’m busy too.”
After a moment of silence, Su Mo said, “In two years, when the children are older, I will do a test and choose the next heir. When he grows up, I will slowly hand over the company’s affairs to him. By then, I will have more time to spend with you.”
This sounds very recent, but the eldest child of the next generation of the Su family was only ten years old now, they would have to wait at least ten years. Of course Lu Yan could understand Su Mo’s intentions, so he smiled and said, “Is there still a test? I think Xiao Xu is the smartest and most savvy one among them.”
Su Mo smiled and said, “Although this is true, if we don’t go through the motions, I’m afraid others will be dissatisfied. In order to save Xiao Xu from trouble in the future, we have to go through some trouble this time.”
“So, how old were you when you took the test?” Lu Yan asked curiously.
“I haven’t taken the test, and neither has my generation.” Su Mo said.
“Why?” Lu Yan was curious.
Su Mo glanced at him sideways, “What do you think?”
Lu Yan thought about it for a while and understood. He smiled and said, “It turns out that our Director Su has been so amazing since he was young.”
Su Mo smiled and didn’t answer.
Lu Yan said, “Okay, when you retire, I will also retire from the film industry. Then, we can travel together and go wherever we want, and try to leave our footprints all over the world. In the past two years, I have also learned some photography techniques from Ren Yanfei. Then, I will be your exclusive photographer. There will only be you in my lens…”
Su Mo smiled and listened to Lu Yan’s detailed plans for the future, as if such a wonderful day would come tomorrow.
Who said not? They still had a long life ahead of them, and plenty of days to realize everything they had planned. Most importantly, they would be together forever, participating in each other’s lives and becoming an indispensable part of each other.
The sunshine had already filled the house. The future was just like this warm and hot sunshine, full of hope and endless expectations.
Su Mo thought of the incredible story Lu Yan told him last night, and felt extremely fortunate.
Thank God for letting you come back so that I can meet you!
End.
