The next day, Si Yan was woken up by Yang Hong's phone call. When she came out of her bedroom, she found that both of her agents were there.
"Good morning," Si Yan yawned.
Good morning, Si Yan, come and have breakfast.
Cui Ming waved to him.
Yang Hong glanced at her watch. "It's eleven o'clock now."
She tapped the table and showed him her recent schedule.
"The Hollywood film we were negotiating has been finalized, and we're leaving for abroad today."
Si Yan, with a steamed bun bought by Cui Ming in her mouth, asked in surprise and confusion, "Today?"
Yang Hong raised an eyebrow. "What, should I pick a good almanac for you before you go?"
Si Yan's eyebrows drooped. "Not today. Nuonuo's emotions have been quite unstable lately."
" Jiang Nuo... when has he ever been emotionally stable? It's fortunate that the law can stop him," Yang Hong asked.
Si Yan: "..."
"It's not that kind of unstable."
Cui Ming rolled up his sleeves. "Hey, Sister Yang, I don't like hearing that."
"Then don't listen to it."
Yang Hong took out the contract and said earnestly, "This role has a lot of screen time. As long as you perform well, you're guaranteed an award nomination."
"Our company has been trying to get this done for a long time. Besides, you've already turned down many good scripts for the live stream. Don't give up your future."
Si Yan flipped through the contract and then asked Cui Ming, "Does Nuonuo have any schedules planned recently?"
Cui Ming shrugged. "Unfortunately, he has it too. I came here today to tell him about it... Oh dear, you scared me."
He looked towards the bedroom doorway.
Jiang Nuo had woken up sometime earlier, her bare feet on the floor, her hair disheveled, and her expression aggrieved.
When Si Yan looked over, tears were already streaming down her face.
Where are you going?
Jiang Nuo looked up, her voice hoarse, as if she didn't see the other two people in the living room, her eyes only on Si Yan.
Si Yan's heart ached, and she quickly went over and picked the person up, asking, "Why aren't you wearing shoes?"
Her gentle voice was full of tenderness.
Jiang Nuo swung her legs, sat down on the sofa, and unceremoniously snuggled into his arms, asking again.
Where are you going? Can't you take me with you?
"But you said you'd stay with me yesterday."
He muttered to himself, becoming more and more aggrieved, and tears began to well up again, as if he wanted to let out all the pent-up emotions of the past twenty-odd years.
" Si Yan is a liar."
Jiang Nuo lowered her head, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes with her fingertips, looking very unhappy.
Upon witnessing this scene, Yang Hong was speechless.
She looked at Cui Ming in astonishment, as if she had seen a ghost, and asked, " Jiang Nuo, what's going on?"
"Possessed by a ghost?"
This made Cui Ming laugh inexplicably, "What kind of blind ghost would dare to possess Jiang Nuo?"
"I don't know either. It started happening a few days ago, and it seems to be getting worse."
He scratched his head in worry, "What should I do? Jiang Nuo's schedule is also very important this time. Although she is very popular now, she doesn't have any good works. After all, she is an actress."
Both agents were troubled, and Jiang Nuo listened to their words, looking distressed.
Are you going abroad? How long will you be gone?
He asked Si Yan.
"At least half a month."
Si Yan sighed, having already made up her mind, "I won't go; I'll stay home with you."
Yang Hong frowned impatiently, her tone slightly harsher.
" Si Yan, think about how many scripts you've turned down. You're not irreplaceable in the film market."
Si Yan hugged Jiang Nuo tightly, gently covered his ears, and turned to look at Yang Hong, "To Nuonuo, I am irreplaceable."
"Auntie, actually... I've already decided to retire from acting."
Bang!
Yang Hong slammed down her coffee cup, the porcelain cup making a clanging sound against the table.
The living room was quiet.
Cui Ming silently wiped away the coffee stains, not daring to make a sound.
After a long silence, Yang Hong pinched her brow and stood up. "Come out."
She went to the balcony first, clearly intending to speak with Si Yan alone.
Jiang Nuo instinctively gripped Si Yan's clothes and shook her head.
"Just for a little while, sweetie."
Si Yan kissed the corner of his lips, her voice incredibly gentle, " Brother Cui brought you your favorite steamed buns. You eat breakfast first, I'll be on the balcony."
Jiang Nuo slowly let go, sat up straight, watched Si Yan go to the balcony, and then saw Yang Hong close the door.
"Here, eat up, it's still warm."
Cui Ming stuffed the xiaolongbao into Jiang Nuo's hand, drawing her attention back to him.
Jiang Nuo took a bite without any appetite, then looked down at the coffee cup on the coffee table and pursed her lips.
" Brother Cui, am I being too dramatic right now?"
Cui Ming had a very biased view of Jiang Nuo, and immediately denied it, "No, no!"
"Everyone has moments of emotional vulnerability, right?"
Seeing Jiang Nuo like this, Cui Ming sighed, "If you ask me, it's because he's caught too many ghosts!"
"No, that's not true."
Jiang Nuo refuted him, but she couldn't bring herself to Love Soul.
He quickly ate a few steamed buns and called 0732 again.
[Is there any way you can make me more normal?]
0732 was silent for a moment, then asked him.
Do you think this is abnormal?
[Yeah, who cries all the time?]
Jiang Nuo fiddled with the hem of her clothes, looking fierce.
Don't change the subject!
[Please wait, querying... Query successful. For significant mood swings, the solutions are as follows: First, go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment of depression.]
Jiang Nuo: "..."
[You're the one with depression.]
[Second, keep your body and mind excited, for example, by engaging in activities like bungee jumping or skydiving.]
Jiang Nuo thought about it for a moment, but still rejected the suggestion.
If, halfway through a bungee jump, the staff discovers he can actually fly, that would be terrifying, no good at all.
[Third, spending time with close friends and family can help stabilize your emotions.]
Just as 0732 finished making his suggestion, Jiang Nuo heard the balcony door open.
Yang Hong looked very upset, and left without saying a word, carrying her handbag.
"... Hey, Sister Yang!"
Cui Ming called out, but couldn't stop him.
Jiang Nuo blinked blankly, then looked at Si Yan, who seemed completely unconcerned. "I made my aunt run away."
"It's none of your business."
Si Yan gently ruffled his hair. "I've been planning to retire from acting for a while now."
Perhaps to lighten the mood, Si Yan hugged him and chuckled, "Then from now on, my wife will have to support me."
