After breaking off the engagement, she became the CEO's favorite

After "squeezing" Gu Nianzhi to make lunch.

After enjoying the feast, the four decided to go out for a walk in the winter sun.

The topic started when Lu Ranran talked about the time when she and Zhang Xiaoyuan collaborated to shoot the competition entry.

Gu Nianzhi was curious, "How did you two get together?"

"Xiao Yuan isn't from Nancheng University, right? Campus party?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan graduated from Nancheng Art College, which is next to Nancheng University.

Although the two schools are not far apart, Lu Ranran is basically a otaku and a dormitory parasite.

Lu Ranran shook her fingers.

"Innocent."

"It's certainly not that easy to get to know someone as aggressive as your sister Xiaoyuan."

Gu Nianzhi let out an “ah”.

"She got into a fight on the road?"

It accurately made Lu Ranran laugh out loud.

"It doesn't count."

"I was browsing the forum at the time, and I happened to see your sister Xiaoyuan fighting someone for three hundred rounds."

"Wow!" Zhang Xiaoyuan said at a table, "I get angry when I talk about that."

"I just posted a few photos and someone insisted on commenting on them, saying that I didn't know how to take photos and that the angles were wrong."

"I didn't bother to pay attention to him, but he ended up posting about me being arrogant and not listening to advice. He also posted a separate thread about how my photos were not good."

"How could I bear it? Of course I just started to scold him!"

As Zhang Xiaoyuan spoke, Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"What about you?" He looked at Lu Ranran, "Did you curse along with him?"

Lu Ranran smiled awkwardly.

Zhang Xiaoyuan said:

"Scold? Then you underestimate our sister Ran."

"How to say!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan cleared his throat, looking proud.

"She said this idiot didn't know how to use the land, and he looked like he had a low level of education."

"It just broke the defense."

After hearing this, Shen Xiling looked at Lu Ranran with interest.

The look seemed to say that he was clearly struggling with personal relationships last night, but he ended up "attacking hard" every day.

Lu Ranran looked away guiltily.

Gu Nianzhi suddenly had an idea.

"Hey, now is the time when we are all free."

“Should we take some photos too?”

He patted his chest and recommended himself.

"I can be the protagonist!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan shrugged indifferently.

"That's fine with me. I'm here to collect folk songs anyway."

Lu Ranran's eyes curved into beautiful crescents.

"no problem!"

So the four of them came to the stream.

Lu Ranran took a stance and began to explain the plot to the three main speakers.

"Now the leading actor, um, happens to be here too."

"Okay, three leading actors."

"Okay, just imitate a passage from Border Town."

These words were given to Zhang Xiaoyuan.

Zhang Xiaoyuan shook his hair and began to adjust the camera carefully, obviously not taking these words to heart.

Lu Ranran was not angry either.

She pointed at Shen Xiling and said, "Okay, this elder brother looks older and has a lot of life experience. He will play the role of grandfather."

Shen Xiling smiled bitterly and took a few steps back.

"Can I quit now?"

Lu Ranran frowned angrily, "Stop talking nonsense. The opportunity to devote yourself to art is precious. Stand still."

Then she turned and looked at Gu Nianzhi.

"Okay, you are the character of Cuicui. Try to keep your innocent expression. Remember that!"

Gu Nianzhi nodded seriously.

"Okay, now... well, let me think..."

"You are a pair of brothers who depend on each other for survival. You live by this bamboo stream and have a dog named Ah Huang."

Ah Huang jumped and shouted twice.

Gu Nianzhi was dissatisfied, "Why does Ah Huang also have a role?"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Are you still going to act? If not, find someone else."

Lu Ranran picked up the shelf in a very professional manner.

Gu Nianzhi shut up after Zhang Xiaoyuan's "warning" and no longer raised any objections.

"Okay, let's go on." Lu Ranran looked around and found that there were no usable boats nearby.

"Then...my brother goes to work on the other side of Zhuxi River every day."

"My younger brother stayed by the stream every day, making fire, cooking, and raising ducks and chickens."

Seeing that he couldn't resist, Shen Xiling had to join in.

He asked:

“Is there any saying for crossing a stream?”

Lu Ranran thought for a while and said:

"If you must say, this is a way to the outside world."

"The brothers' fight revolved around this issue. The younger brother wanted to go out and take a look, but the older brother wouldn't let him."

"Why?" Gu Nianzhi also asked.

"Because my brother has been...well, a parent since he was young."

"He knew that with his brother's personality, if he came into contact with the outside world, he would never come back."

“He wants to keep this home.”

Gu Nianzhi nodded, not quite understanding.

Lu Ranran clapped her hands.

"Okay, everyone understands."

"The first scene, um... the elder brother who had finished work came back from the stream, and the younger brother rushed to greet him."

"The younger brother was eager to know what was happening outside the village, but the older brother looked tired and only asked if the meal at home was ready."

Zhang Xiaoyuan raised his chin and gestured to Shen Xiling.

“You first walk to the middle of the stream, and once you’ve got started, you walk heavily and slowly.”

Winter is the dry season, and a row of stone piers for people to walk on are exposed on the surface of the stream.

Shen Xiling was unable to resist, so he sighed helplessly, took a step with his long legs, and stepped onto the moss-covered stone pier.

Soon he reached the middle position.

Then, Zhang Xiaoyuan directed Gu Nianzhi to stand in the grass beside the stream.

"You squat there first."

Gu Nianzhi squatted down obediently.

"Look up first, as a gesture to show you've seen it, then stand up excitedly and wave over there..."

"Then I'll take a shot of Shen Xiling."

"Wait until I turn the camera around and give you instructions, then you start running. Got it?"

I don’t know if he understood or not, but Gu Nianzhi nodded anyway.

Lu Ranran made an "OK" gesture to Shen Xiling.

The shooting officially started.

The previous shots went smoothly.

Zhang Xiaoyuan turned the camera back and made a gesture.

Gu Nianzhi jumped out of the bushes like a rabbit, strode towards the stone pier, and leaped with all his might when he was about to reach the shore.

"Ah!" "Ouch!" "Be careful!"

"Pfft!"

The moment he touched the stone pillar, Gu Nianzhi was blessed by the God of Destiny.

Became the lucky one who fell into the water in winter.

The water here was shallow, and Gu Nianzhi climbed out of the water trembling, his cheeks pale.

The two of them quickly surrounded him.

Zhang Xiaoyuan tried to take off his wet down jacket and put on his own.

Gu Nianzhi waved his hand and smiled with chattering teeth:

"No, no, no need, you, Shaha——, you......"

"Do not talk nonsense!"

Shen Xiling, who had rushed back, stopped Zhang Xiaoyuan.

He helped Gu Nianzhi up and said to the two of them:

"I'll take him back to change clothes first, you guys be careful."

And just like that, the first shoot ended unexpectedly.

While waiting for Shen Xiling and Gu Nianzhi to come back, Zhang Xiaoyuan and Lu Ranran found a chair and sat down.

Lu Ranran looked at the direction the two left, feeling a little worried.

At this time, Zhang Xiaoyuan suddenly said:

"After the New Year, I will leave South City."
