Chapter 60

Chapter 60

This situation was definitely not normal. Even if Lin Shiheng finished shooting his scenes early, when the crew started editing the shots, promoting the drama, and appearing in front of the media, he was supposed to also show up as the supporting actor.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Yet, it was not until all the promotion of this TV series went up and it started broadcasting on TV that both husband and wife would see Lin Shiheng again.

The trio were also good friends in private, so naturally, they had his private contact information. Nonetheless, no matter when they called, his phone was always off. Even the assistant who had been busy helping Lin Shiheng could not be reached.

During this time, Chen Hao and Ren Qiaoqiao realized that they didnt have any information on Lin Shiheng or his whereabouts except for his phone number.

Its not that Chen Hao didnt know where his best friends lived, but Lin Shiheng recently moved to a new place before shooting. Since everyone was busy shooting at that time, he said that he would take them to his new home to hang around after finishing the film.

Chen Hao was vaguely aware of the peculiar circumstances regarding Lin Shihengs family background. After all, they have been friends for 4 years, but he had never heard him mention his family. Even when Lin Shiheng brought capital into the group this time, when he asked him about it, Shiheng only said that it was money given by his family. He could surmise briefly that something was off, but he didnt want to poke too much at his brothers sore spot, so he didnt ask too much.

His thoughtfulness at that time had now become an obstacle in finding Lin Shiheng.

A grown man had just disappeared from everyones sight, and except for the two of them who were looking for him, no one was interested in this artist who had never filmed anything before he disappeared.

Thus, the two kept waiting for any news until the TV series started to air.

As soon as it aired, people started talking about how the third male supporting character was really a very attractive character with his outstanding appearance, his skill, his gentlemanly mannerism wherever he goes, his respect for his wife, and his seriousness in his actions. He had given the audience a heavy blow to the heart.

As more and more episodes were broadcasted, more and more viewers liked this character.

This was simply the perfect male god!

Stan him!

They had to be his fan!

Following the list of actors, they successfully discovered the artist who played the character.

Following that, Lin Shihengs Weibo followers exploded overnight as if they were on fire.

However, they found a strange phenomenon.

Logically speaking, with so many fans, artists themselves had to send a post to show their attitude about it, even if it was just a simple thank you for your liking.

However, no matter how many fans poured into Lin Shihengs Weibo, which had become popular overnight, the account still gave no form of response, let alone gratitude towards the fans.

Soon, people noticed that his latest post was a very time ago.

After posting an unusual announcement about the end of his film shooting, he hadnt posted since.

It was not just his Weibo either.

After that, netizens scoured the videos in publicity for the crew and the press release, noticing that although the name of Lin Shiheng may have been mentioned, the man himself had never appeared.

If the drama promotion scenes werent present in the film, people would guess whether it was an internal discord from the crew. However, the person hadnt shown up for a long time, and people were starting to worry.

This was the entertainment circle, and fan traffic was everything for artists.

With such a big opportunity, even if they had a car accident, artists would have gotten up and responded on Weibo to appease and consolidate their fanbase.

The TV series was still playing, and with each episode passing by, Lin Shihengs Weibo fans were also increasing.

It was not just his good acting. From the moment he first appeared on screen, his attractive appearance made many peoples eyes shine, and some face-fans found his Weibo along the internet thread.

With how clean the hallways were, and how gentle and kind the nurses passing by were to those patients, the couple felt more reassured. After all, they were under the impression that mental hospitals had always strapped patients to beds for injections and medication, and that the nurses and doctors were rude.

Ren Qiaoqiao, in particular, made her debut as a child, and her first film was a ghost film. She played a patient who was locked up in a mental hospital at an early age. Although the focus of the film was on ghosts at that time, her treatment in the hospital was rather bad.

Knowing that Lin Shiheng wasnt mentally abused, both of them relaxed a little.

When they reached the ward, Chen Hao and Ren Qiaoqiao were surprised to hear the sound of a guzheng coming from inside.

(TNote: guzheng = lit. ancient zheng), is a Chinese plucked zither. The modern guzheng commonly has 21, 25 or 26 strings, is 64 inches (1.6 m) long, and is tuned in a major pentatonic scale.)

It didnt sound electronic, but it sounded as if a guzheng was really being played in the room.

They were a little surprised as they turned to glance at each other. The assistant ran up to the door and knocked on it. Shi-ge. Chen-ge and Ren-jie are here to see you.

When the sound of the guzheng stopped, a gentle voice resounded.

Come on in.

The door opened, Chen Hao and Ren Qiaoqiao both froze on the spot.

This ward was very big, and its layout was very warm. There were even flowers on the table with sunlight shining in, making it look very vibrant.

It looked more of an ordinary home environment than a ward in a mental hospital.

If only Lin Shiheng, who was smiling at them at the moment, wasnt wearing a grey striped gown.

However, what surprised both of them wasnt the environment of the ward, but the look on Lin Shihengs face.

Since they first met, he has always been very good-looking. Compared with his handsomeness, even Ren Qiaoqiao, who had always been praised by the outside world, couldnt compare with him.

Yet, at the moment, the corners of his lips slightly curved up into a small arc as his eyes slightly softened down, smiling at them. His whole being seemed to be glowing.

Lin Shiheng removed his hand from the guzheng and stood up. You came.

As he spoke, he walked to the table and naturally began to pour tea for his two friends.

Lin Shihengs movements were gentle and flowing. He held the teapot with slender fingertips, filling three teacups with hot water, dumping them all, filling water again, dumping them again, and putting down the teapot until the third time, taking the lead in sitting down and inviting them with a smile.

(TNote: in traditional Chinese tea ceremony, before using a tea set, the cups should be rinsed/places in hot water to warm up the tea set.)

Would you like some tea?

A regular greeting, but one they didnt expect to hear from this man.

In Chen Hao and Ren Qiaoqiaos eyes, this wasnt the Lin Shiheng they had always known.

They were in the same film crew and naturally knew that the action of pouring tea was taught by someone the director especially sought out just to highlight Yi Qings nobility and culture.

At that time, after the shoot, Lin Shiheng also complained to them, saying that drinking a cup of tea was so cumbersome and only slow-paced ancient people were willing to be so leisurely.

Yet, at the moment, he was willingly doing the very same thing he complained about before.

The form and grace, the warm gaze from the eyes, and the action of sitting down with finesse and deliberation

This is not Lin Shiheng. It is Yi Qing.
