What's wrong with being a salted fish?

Lin Zhuo followed Xie Jing upstairs. He didn't know whether it was Xie Jingran who was too good at hiding or whether he didn't like Song Zhi at all. Anyway, Lin Zhuo didn't see the expression of being hit in the heart on his face.

Coupled with Xie Jingran's reaction in the living room, something was wrong. Could it be that Xie Jingran didn't see Song Zhi in eye-to-eye, right? Isn't it love at first sight?

Maybe it's because he sees it too superficially, maybe Xie Jingran just hides his feelings in his heart and pretends to be more similar.

"Should we live in this room?" Xie Jingran opened the door to the second floor balcony on the right at the end of the corridor and asked Lin Zhuo's opinion.

Lin Zhuo nodded and said he had no objection. Anyway, he could live wherever he wanted.

When Lin Zhuo approached, he realized that Song Zhi's room was opposite to his. Lin Zhuo felt that he knew the truth. As expected, Xie Jingran fell in love with Song Zhi at first sight. He used this method to get closer to his sweetheart.

Xie Jingran didn't know what Lin Zhuo was thinking. After getting the answer, he pulled their luggage into the room, then opened his own suitcase and started packing it. He asked him by the way, "Do you need me to help you pack it?"

Only then did Lin Zhuo break away from his thoughts and shook his head: "No, no, no, I'm going to take a bath and I can just tidy up myself."

There are two beds in the room. There is a bedside table between the two beds. There is a white curtain hanging directly opposite the bed. It should be possible to use a mobile phone to connect the device for projection. Next to the door is a large wardrobe, where Lin Zhuo feels like putting their clothes. It's more than enough. There is no balcony in the room, but there are poles on the anti-theft windows outside the windows to hang clothes. The door to the private bathroom is next to the curtain. Of course, there are cameras installed by the program team in the house, but they are not turned on yet.

"Eh? Didn't you say there is a computer?" Lin Zhuo didn't realize that Xie Jingran said there was a computer.

"There should be an e-sports room on the first floor. I'll ask you later. If not, I'll ask Xiaotong to give you a laptop."

Lin Zhuo nodded. It didn't matter whether he had a computer or not. He had a mobile phone anyway. After thinking about it, Lin Zhuo chose the bed on the inside because it was close to the air conditioner. Xie Jingran didn't forget that he was afraid of heat, so he turned on the air conditioner when he entered the room.

"Aren't you hungry? Do you want something to eat?" Xie Jingran hung his clothes in the closet and looked at Lin Zhuo, who was looking for clothes in the suitcase.

"No, it's too hot and I have no appetite. I'm going to take a shower and sleep for a while before eating tonight." Lin Zhuo took a set of pajamas and was looking for underwear. He pretended to ask Xie Jingran casually: "Brother Jingran, what do you think about coming now?" How about the two guests?”

Xie Jingran sat by the bed and chatted with Lin Zhuo: "I'm not familiar with him, so it's just average."

"Really? I think that little brother in the blue and white shirt is pretty good-looking." Lin Zhuo straightened up. He was talking about Song Zhi.

Hearing Lin Zhuo calling him little brother and praising her good looks, Xie Jingran frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and searched in his mind. The man seemed to be named Song Zhi. "You mean Song Zhi? I think it's average, not as good-looking as you."

"Yes, host, I also think you are more beautiful!" 0617 suddenly appeared out of nowhere to express its opinion. Lin Zhuo was frightened by its sudden voice.

"So his name is Song Zhi? I think he is very handsome and good-looking." Lin Zhuo said this while talking to 0617 in his mind: "Where have you been? Why didn't you say anything in the living room just now? "

"Hey host, I'm going to hibernate, otherwise I would be so bored." 0617 said shyly.

Before Lin Zhuo continued talking to the system, he heard Xie Jingran's cold voice, "But I think he is a bit eager for quick success, so it's better not to have too many interactions."

ah? what's the situation? Is Xie Jingran talking bad about Song Zhi to himself?

Lin Zhuo put the change of clothes on the bed and put the other clothes in the cabinet. Then he sat next to Xie Jingran and looked at him with bright eyes: "Why do you say that? Is there some gossip?"

Seeing him look at him like this, Xie Jingran's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously. Seeing that Lin Zhuo was really curious, he coughed twice and organized his words, but his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke again, but Lin Zhuo didn't care, he just wanted to hear gossip now.

"I was a guest star in Director Lu's movie "Sleep on the Thousand Years of Mountains" before. I met him on the set. He seemed to be the sixth male lead. Although he didn't have many roles, he was supposed to be filming "Ming Yun Zhi" at the time. As the second male lead, his role should be Quite a bit, he didn't focus on arranging the sequence. Instead, the two crews ran back and forth. Not only did they fail to achieve balance, but they also made themselves in a very bad state. I later heard Director Lu privately say that he was not good at acting in the first place. I've been tossing back and forth, and I won't work with him a second time. I also watched Song Zhi's acting when I was there. His emotions were not in place, and his movements were too exaggerated. Moreover, he seemed to like to hold on, and he couldn't let go. His idol baggage was a bit too much. It's too heavy, and my dialogue skills are not up to standard." Xie Jingran never thought that one day he would be able to criticize others and constantly analyze their shortcomings. Before, he would never spend so much time evaluating someone. After all, the quality of others has nothing to do with you.

After hearing what he said, Lin Zhuo nodded, indicating that he understood and had listened to what he said. Later, when I entered the bathroom with my clothes, I held my hand on the wall and laughed silently.

"Su, host, what's wrong with you? I'm so scared of you like this!" 0617 looked at Lin Zhuo's behavior very puzzled and felt that he was a little abnormal.

"It's nothing, I just thought of something interesting." Lin Zhuo calmed down and told 0617.

Lin Zhuo never thought that Xie Jingran's evaluation of Song Zhi would be like this. He thought that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Xie Jingran would more or less talk about what he thought were Song Zhi's advantages, such as beauty, good figure, gentle speech, etc. However, Xie Jingran's mouth was just average, and later he even listed Song Zhi's qualities in detail. Shortcomings, these should have been the basic skills of an actor, but now they are Song Zhi's shortcomings.

Xie Jingran only knew that Song Zhi was not good at acting, but of course he did not know that Song Zhi left for him. Yes, although Xie Jingran fell in love with Song Zhi at first sight on this show, he had already met Song Zhi, otherwise how could Song Zhi have his WeChat account. After Song Zhi learned that Xie Jingran had accepted a guest role in "Sleep on the Thousand Years of Mountains", he secured a role as the sixth male lead, with the purpose of getting close to Xie Jingran. But Xie Jingran is very busy. He is just a guest star and doesn't have many roles. Moreover, his acting skills are good, so the filming was completed in two days. But Song Zhi couldn't do it. The two crews shuttled back and forth, and his condition was already very bad. Song Zhi plays a herb gatherer who travels back and forth in the mountains in "Sleep in the Thousand Years of Mountains". Excessive work has left this character's face covered with wind and frost, and his skin color is dark and yellow due to wind and sun. Through him, he connects with others. The verbal interaction between them makes the image of this character fuller. However, Song Zhi's own skin is relatively fair, so he can only create dark yellow skin through makeup. In addition, there are traces of time on his face, so Song Zhi's makeup is relatively dull and his hair is messy. For this reason, Song Zhi's makeup is relatively dull. Zhi was still angry at the crew, hoping that he could look more decent, but Director Lu knocked him back. In this way, when Song Zhi finally bumped into Xie Jingran on the set, his shabby makeup and his poor acting skills would only make Xie Jingran less fond of him in his heart. So even if Song Zhihuang came to Xie Jingran to increase his presence and added Xie Jingran's WeChat account, Xie Jingran would not know who he was. Therefore, Lin Zhuo once complained about whether Xie Jingran fell in love based on his appearance. Otherwise, how could he not recognize his official match?

That being said, although Xie Jingran didn't know why he said bad things about Song Zhi to himself, what if he changed his mind later? It would be better not to talk too much about Song Zhi. The more you say, the more mistakes you make, lest someone post on Weibo later suggesting that you are slandering him, which would make Xie feel very distressed. He came here to avoid the plot and change his destiny so that after the mission is over, his score will be higher and he will get more points. He doesn't want to be a part of their play, ugh, it makes me sick just thinking about it.

Lin Zhuo took a comfortable bath and washed off all the sweat. When he came out, he found that Xie Jingran had gone somewhere. He didn't care, and happily got into bed and started to sleep.

Soft quilts are the greatest invention in the world! He thought drowsily in his sleep.

Xie Jingran went out when Lin Zhuo went to take a shower. He didn't know what was agitating in his heart, but his eyes kept looking at the bathroom door unconsciously, so he couldn't sit still, so he opened the door and went in for a walk.

When Xie Jingran went downstairs, he found that there were two more guests in the dining room of the living room. He must have just arrived and he knew them.

A man and a woman were sitting at a restaurant table, eating. The woman is actress Yu Mian, who has retired behind the scenes and opened an independent studio. Next to her is her husband Yang Ting. Yang Ting is a director who makes literary films, and Xie Jingran has worked with him before. It was Yu Mian who saw him first and greeted him. Xie Jingran also nodded to her. There was no need to say hello to Yang Ting. Everyone in the circle knew that Yang Ting was a wife-loving man who only had eyes for his wife.

Although there was still a lot of space on the middle sofa, since Song Zhi and Tao Tao were sitting on it, Xie Jingran had no intention of sitting next to them. The two of them were watching TV, which seemed to be a comedy variety show. There was laughter from time to time, and the two of them would sometimes exchange a few words about the show.

Xie Jingran went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of ice water, came back and sat on the single sofa on the right and took a few sips.

Lin Zhuo would go to bed after taking a shower. Being in the room would definitely disturb him, so he might as well sit down. Although it seemed a bit out of place, especially as Song Zhi, whom he had just discussed with Lin Zhuo, was sitting not far away, it didn't matter, he was rather thick-skinned.

Song Zhi had been secretly observing Xie Jingran after he came down, and found that he wanted to find some topic to chat with him after he sat down. But before he opened his mouth, Tao Tao next door spoke to Xie Jingran first, "Brother Xie, can I call you that, Brother Xie?" Tao Tao struck first and then spoke. Xie Jingran only glanced at him lightly and nodded slightly, as if to say something was wrong. ?

"Why does Brother Xie want to participate in this show? This should be your first variety show, right?" Tao Tao asked him curiously. Song Zhi next to him pretended to be focused on the TV show and paid attention to the chat between the two. He wasn't interested in the content, but actually his attention was entirely focused on Xie Jingran's answer.

Before Xie Jingran spoke, he saw Song Zhi's clasped hand on his knee. Although his attention was entirely on the TV, his eyes were a little wandering. Xie Jingran sneered inwardly, wondering what attracted Lin Zhuo's attention to him. Could it be his age? But he doesn't seem to be much older than Lin Zhuo.

"I'm ready to quit the entertainment industry, so I found a show that's pleasing to my eyes and relax." I don't need to tell my agent if I want to get another wave of bonuses. Xie Jingran leaned on the sofa and turned on his mobile phone, wondering what he was looking at.

"Xiao Xie is quitting the industry too? Are you planning to open a studio too?" Yu Mian walked over holding his husband's arm.

"No, I should say I'm going home to inherit the family business."

Yu Mian chuckled, "I've heard for a long time that your background is not simple. Let's go up and pack our luggage first. See you later." Although Yu Mian is almost forty, under the careful care of her husband, she is still a beautiful flower. The delicate flowers show the sweetness of their love. This actually made Xie Jingran a little envious. There was a voice in his heart that seemed to remind him, but Xie Jingran didn't dare to think about it. The couple arrived here and chose to eat first, and now they were ready to go up and pack their things. Xie Jingran wasn't afraid that they would disturb Lin Zhuo's sleep because there were signs on the door. Lin Zhuo also knew that Song Zhi had chosen the room opposite them because of the sign.

After Yu and Mian went upstairs, silence returned to the living room, with only the occasional laughter coming from the TV.

Xie Jingran didn't care. He was very used to this kind of environment. After all, he wasn't a person who could liven up the atmosphere.

Tao Tao couldn't bear it, so he soon found an excuse to go upstairs to his room.

After a while, the doorbell of the villa rang. Song Zhi thought it was the last guest who had arrived. He wanted to leave a good polite impression on Xie Jingran, so he got up and opened the door. Out of the corner of his eye, he was still paying attention to whether Xie Jingran was observing him.

Song Zhi opened the door and was about to say welcome when he realized it was Xie Jingran's assistant, Tong. The kid didn't care who opened the door. He thanked him and crossed Song Zhi, came to Xie Jingran's side and started to complain: "Brother, let me tell you, this place is so hard to find. The delivery boy called me several times. They said they couldn’t find it, so I went out and got it myself.”

This is understandable, after all, they have to find a confidential place to film the show, and the program team is also afraid that the guests will not be found, so they arranged a special car to pick them up.

"Okay, your performance will be doubled this month. Let's go back." The child got the answer he wanted, put down his things and left happily. He lived with the staff in the building next door to them, and other people's assistants were also there. There.

"Brother Xie, what did you buy?" Song Zhi raised a smile on his face and sat back in the middle of the sofa.

Xie Jingran took the things out of the bag and said, "I bought milk tea for the kid. He is afraid of the heat."

"That's it. Brother Xie, you are so considerate, but where is this kid?"

If Lin Zhuo were there, he would probably give Xie Jingran a look on the spot. Why do you call a 24-year-old kid a kid?

Xie Jingran also felt that if Lin Zhuo heard this, he would probably lose his temper again. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chuckle.

His smile was like melting ice and snow, taking away half of Song Zhi's soul, making Song Zhi even more determined to get him.

"He is a little tired and is sleeping. I bought this to drink when he wakes up." Xie Jingran originally wanted to buy some hot food for Lin Zhuo, but there was no restaurant he was familiar with here. After thinking about it, he thought it would be better to wait until Lin Zhuo wakes up. It would be better to buy it later, so he bought some snacks for Lin Zhuo. For this reason, he just went online to do some research and speculated on Lin Zhuo's taste. With that said, Xie Jingran stood up and put the milk tea in the refrigerator. He only bought one cup and no one else had a share. He passed by the sofa without even giving Song Zhi a look, let alone giving him something, and went upstairs with a large bag of things.

Song Zhi was left alone in the living room watching a variety show that no one cared about. The laughter from the show made Song Zhi feel as if he was laughing at his own overestimation.

Song Zhi secretly clenched his fists. It seemed that if he wanted to get close to Xie Jingran, he would have to start with the friend he brought. He hoped that he would not block his way, otherwise he would not blame himself for being rude. Thinking like this, he suddenly thought of something and picked up his phone to send a message to his assistant.

No matter what, he wants to get Xie Jingran!
