I heard they all love me
Chapter 37
A few minutes ago, when Qin Mu got into the car, the car was not full.Everyone was surprised to see Qin Mu.I have been with Qin Mu on the set for more than a month. Although I have never seen Qin Mu play a big role, we are not rookies, so we can’t believe that Qin Mu is really as approachable as the media reports. The point of squeezing a business car with them.
Everyone's eyes flickered, and Qin Mu glanced around casually, already accustomed to all kinds of prying and guessing in this circle.Even if you want to live well in this circle, you have to "like" and even actively provide some material for snooping and guessing.He thought about it nonchalantly, and found Chu Li in the last row of the business car, paused, walked over and sat in front of Chu Li.
Across a row of seats, Qin Mu heard Chu Li on the phone, as if he was telling someone that the crew would not go back to eat after dinner at night.His tone was brisk, and it could be heard that he was very intimate with the person on the other side of the phone.Occasionally, I will impatiently deal with the sentence "Got it", and there seems to be honey in the voice.Qin Mu was a little curious about who was on the other side of the phone?He knew that Chu Li was a local, could it be Chu Li's family, or... Jiang Xingjian?
During this period of time, Jiang Xingjian often came to the crew to deliver meals to Chu Li according to the time. Occasionally, when Jiang Xingjian didn't come, the person who delivered the meals would be replaced by Aunt Pei.In the past, Qin Mu followed Jiang Xingzhe to taste Aunt Pei's craft, so he naturally knew the relationship between Aunt Pei and the Jiang family.Thinking about the last time someone from the crew said that Chu Li seemed to be living with Jiang Xingjian, he was somewhat sure that the person on the other side of the phone was Jiang Xingjian.
This made Qin Mu a little confused.
Although he hadn't dealt with Jiang Xingjian much in the past, he heard Jiang Xingjian's name quite often from Jiang Xingzhe.According to Xing Zhe, the relationship between the two is not good.This badness is two-way, not just Xingzhe's one-way dislike of Jiang Xingjian.What he even knew was that before his death, Xingzhe and Jiang Xingjian had an unpleasant quarrel over Jiang's entertainment. He didn't think Jiang Xingjian had much brotherly affection for Xingzhe.But the appearance of Chu Li repeatedly subverted his views.
From the beginning when he warned Chu Li to stay away from Jiang Xingjian, the relationship between the two has become closer. The last time I met Jiang Xingjian in the hospital and Jiang Xingjian delivered meals in rain or shine proved this.
why?
Qin Mu couldn't understand the contradictions in Jiang Xingjian's previous and subsequent actions. After hearing Chu Li hang up the phone, he turned around and chatted, "Chu Li, have you finished filming your scene?"
"Eh?" Chu Li was still thinking about what Jiang Xingjian said about coming to pick him up at night, but he didn't react for a while after hearing Qin Mu's words.
Qin Mu repeated it in a good-tempered manner, and Chu Li nodded.Qin Mu asked, "Then what are your plans for the future?"
This question just caught Chu Li, he only wanted to finish the filming of "Secret Love" seriously, and he really didn't think about what plans to do next.Seeing that Chu Li was unprepared, Qin Mu revealed his intention: "How did you think about what I said last time?"
Chu Li was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized what Qin Mu was talking about.He didn't answer immediately, Qin Mu said again: "The studio I told you is almost done. The office is located in Haicheng, the house has been rented, and the procedures have basically been completed. Now I'm planning to sign a few more Famous artists. To be honest, the resources of the studio will not be very good at the beginning, but I will try my best to push the signed artists, and the specific split can also be discussed. And I will take you with you no matter what, the size is also an advantage.”
Last time Qin Mu only briefly mentioned it, but this time he talked about it in more detail.Frankly speaking, Qin Mu personally came forward to solicit, and "secondly cares about Chuli", which is quite sincere for a person like Chuli who is not well-known.And the share can be discussed in detail, which is a big concession.However, Chu Li's family knew their own business, so they shook their heads and declined.
"What? I'm not sincere enough?"
No matter how Qin Mu is a new film star, he is inevitably a little embarrassed to be rejected again and again, so he can't help but joke.
Chu Li was about to pull Jiang Xingjian out as a shield, Luo Cheng, who was a step behind, squeezed into the car, saw Qin Mu smiling, and walked across the aisle to sit.
"what's the topic?"
Chu Li was not surprised to see Luo Cheng, and even found it a little funny.In the past, Luo Cheng was strictly guarded against Jiang Xingzhe, but now it's the same with Chu Li.He really couldn't understand Luo Cheng's guard against him, shrugged his shoulders and retreated to his seat as if he had just finished talking, pulled out the earphones and started listening.
He showed such obvious rejection of Luo Cheng, the scene was a bit cold for a while.The smile on Luo Cheng's face became stiff. Qin Mu thought about Luo Cheng's hard work in the studio for a month, and said, "I'm talking to Chu Li about signing a contract with our studio."
Luo Cheng was taken aback for a moment, Qin Mu had never told him that he had any intention of signing Chu Li.Just as he was about to say something, Qin Mu waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it after getting out of the car." After speaking, Qin Mu followed Chu Li's example and pulled out the earphones and closed his eyes to rest.The expression on Luo Cheng's face was a little hurt, but he didn't say anything else, he just got up and drew the curtains to block the sunlight that shone on Qin Mu's face.
The change in the light was quickly noticed by Qin Mu, and his eyelids trembled. Thinking of the mutual support between him and Luo Cheng all these years, his heart softened, but then he thought of Luo Cheng using Ning Weidong to deal with Chu Li, so he resisted not opening his eyes. .
As the rear row quieted down, like a chain reaction, the voice of the whole car lowered a few degrees.Half an hour later, the black commercial vehicle stopped at the gate of Hot Pot City.
Since it is named after "City", the place Ma Ge booked is big enough. The three-story building stands on the side of the street, and the smell of hot pot is wafting in the wind.Before Chu Li got out of the car, he received a text message from Pei Kai.Pei Kai was in another car and arrived a few minutes earlier than Chu Li.He said in the text message that he had already reserved a seat for Chu Li and asked Chu Li to go up quickly.Chu Li looked at the text message and laughed. Qin Mu got out of the car and just turned around, and suddenly bumped into Chu Li's smile, and couldn't help being a little dazed.
For some reason, the more Qin Muyue came into contact with Chu Li, the easier it was for him to see Jiang Xingzhe's shadow in Chu Li.At first, Qin Mu only thought that Chu Li looked like Xing Zhe, but through the crew's observation during this period of time, he found that Chu Li was not only similar in appearance, but also in behavior and habits.If he hadn't seen Xing Zhe's tombstone in the cemetery, he almost thought that Xing Zhe was not dead.
However, Qin Mu laughed at himself, Chu Li and Xing Zhe are not all similar.At least, Chu Li doesn't like him, Qin Mu is sure, how can I say it?It's not that he simply doesn't like it, it's just that he can feel Chu Li's alienation from him, as if he deliberately stays away from him.It's completely different from Xingzhe's attitude towards him.
Qin Mu thought about what Ning Weidong questioned him last time, did he look for Xing Zhe's shadow in Chu Li?He shook his head, unwilling to think about the answer to this question.
……
With the arrival of the crew, the hot pot city in the evening gradually became lively.The box that Ma Ge booked is on the third floor of the hot pot city, and there are five boxes in a row. At this moment, the doors are all wide open, the hot pot is full of aroma, and all kinds of hot pot dishes are placed on the big table.But few people pay attention to eating, most people are running around in different boxes, and few of them are fixed on their seats.
Chu Li and Pei Kai, as two odd numbers, were sitting next to each other and only focused on eating.The seats on both sides of them were empty, and there were only five or six people left in the whole box.Chu Li took a mouthful of hot pot city's special wild goose meat, and Pei Kai poked him: "Hey, look, even those little girls went to other boxes to toast, should we join in the fun?"
Chu Li was eating well, and in the midst of his busy schedule, he raised his eyelids and glanced at the Coke in front of him, and raised his eyebrows: "Take a Coke as a respect?"
Pei Kai couldn't help laughing when he saw Coke, hehe said: "Jiang Xingjian is restricting you from drinking, not me? I am in front and you follow. Who cares whether you are drinking alcohol or Coke. But... ..." He drawled his voice curiously: "What will happen if you really drink Jiang Xingjian?"
Chu Li said depressedly: "It's not good." He is not a child, and Jiang Xingjian will never roll up his sleeves to teach him, but punishment is not the only way.He added: "It is estimated that there will be no game consoles for a week."
Pei Kai knows Chu Li's enthusiasm for games. In the past, Chu Li used a small broken smart phone, which was full of various games.Last time he went to Chu Li's temporary apartment and saw the game console that Jiang Xingjian bought.After playing with Chu Li for an afternoon, he was immediately conquered by his unparalleled experience.Thinking about not being able to play for a week, he couldn't help laughing: "So cruel?"
Chu Li nodded, thinking that Jiang Xingjian really treated himself like a younger brother.If he had quarreled with Jiang Xingjian before, why would he not be allowed to drink at the dinner party? Isn't it because he was thirsty and drank a can of cold beer the night before, and ended up having a stomachache in the middle of the night?It's been two days and he's already fine.But he shouted reluctance, but he was actually quite happy in his heart, as if being managed like this was closer, more like a family.Just like Zhang Qiguo's nagging, although he repeated the same words every time, he was willing to listen.
He was too lazy to toast and let Pei Kai go by himself.Pei Kai held his wine glass and looked around. There were not many people in the box where they were, and most of them gathered next to Brother Ma.He was a little worried about Chu Li: "Are you okay by yourself?"
Chu Li waved his hand: "What's the problem!"
As soon as Pei Kai left, Chu Li rubbed his stomach and lost interest in cooking meat, thinking about going out to have a rest.He passed several boxes along the corridor, except for the box where Brother Ma was crowded, the others were deserted and almost deserted.When he passed by the last box, he faintly heard the voice of arguing inside. He had heard that voice for two years and was very familiar with it.Chu Li just paused for a moment, and was about to leave without intending to meddle in other people's business, but suddenly there was a voice inside: "I don't agree with you signing Chu Li."
Hearing his name, Chu Li subconsciously stopped.A familiar voice sounded immediately, and seemed a little excited: "Why? Ah Cheng, tell me a reason. Chu Li is in good condition and looks good. Even you yourself said that he has great potential."
Sure enough, Chu Li shrugged. It was Luo Cheng who was arguing with Qin Mu, and the focus of their dispute seemed to be himself.This is really... Chu Li felt that he should really feel "honored", after all, Jiang Xingzhe didn't get this kind of treatment in the past.But he was a little strange, didn't Qin Mu tell Luo Cheng that he didn't plan to sign with their studio?Otherwise, how can we still quarrel?Luo Cheng lowered his voice again, not knowing what he said.Chu Li didn't intend to listen any more, and was about to leave when the door of the box opened suddenly, and Qin Mu walked out with a sullen face.
Chu Li: "..."
The two looked at each other, Chu Li was a little embarrassed.He didn't mean to listen to what they had to say, but it didn't seem appropriate to say anything now.He smiled and was about to leave, but Qin Mu suddenly pulled him back: "Come out with me for a few drinks?"
As they got closer, there was a strong smell of alcohol coming from Qin Mu's body.I also know that many people must take the opportunity of eating to find Qin Mu to get close.He wants to maintain his "personality", and it's not good to make a bad face at this time, he can only pretend to be approachable and drink as much as he wants.Chu Li knew that Qin Mu didn't like to drink. In the past, on similar occasions, as long as he sat there with a sullen face, no one would dare to approach him ignorantly.Anyway, Qin Mu was "wronged", he took the responsibility of scolding him, and he didn't care if others scolded him behind his back.
But now that Qin Mu wanted to get him to drink, Chu Li's first reaction was: "Jiang Xingjian won't let me drink."
After finishing speaking, Chu Li was stunned. He really didn't pull Jiang Xingjian out as an excuse, but really spoke faster than his brain, and he said it as soon as he was bald.The expression on his face was a little strange, and he seemed a little shocked. Qin Mu couldn't tell the difference for a while, so he smiled: "That's still here, I'm drinking, what do you want to eat?"
I don't know if it was Chu Li's illusion, but Qin Mu's tone seemed to be slightly pleading. Rather than saying that he wanted someone to drink with him, it was better to say that he simply wanted to find someone to accompany him.He watched Qin Mu hold his hand that he had not let go, hesitated for a while: "Let them order a bowl of noodles."
Qin Mu asked the waiter to reopen a box, and only he and Chu Li sat in it.Chu Li texted Pei Kai, looked up and Qin Mu ordered several cans of beer.He probably knew that some of them had drunk too much, so he didn't dare to drink anything else, so he only took beer to make do with it.
Chu Li's thoughts drifted away, and he heard Qin Mu suddenly say: "Did you hear me quarreling with Ah Cheng?"
Chu Li simply nodded.
Qin Mu was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Don't mind, Ah Cheng is not targeting you, he is..."
"I know, he's targeting Jiang Xingzhe." Seeing that Qin Mu didn't seem to be able to speak, Chu Li finished the rest of the sentence for him.
Qin Mu smiled wryly, raised his head and took a sip of the wine, and continued: "...you and Xing Zhe look alike, Ah Cheng will inevitably get into a dead end..." He lowered his voice, "Ah Cheng thinks I hate Xing Zhe, in fact, he doesn't know..."
Do not know what is this?Chu Li looked up at Qin Mu, but Qin Mu didn't say anything further.He shook the beer in his hand and resumed the topic: "Last time on the warehouse balcony... I always wanted to say sorry to you."
Chu Li looked at him strangely, wondering why Qin Mu felt guilty?It was he and Ning Weidong who had the conflict, and Chu Li was completely on the same side, and it was Ning Weidong's fault that it was affected by one or two points at most.
Qin Mu didn't look at Chu Li, but said in a low voice: "Do you still remember that Ning Weidong first went to the bar to trouble you? I actually told him the address at that time. I didn't expect him to trouble you, but it turned out..."
As a result, Ning Weidong and Chu Li became enemies because of this, and jumped out again and again to find trouble.
Chu Li followed the logic, and said softly: "Forget about the past."
——Not only Ning Weidong, but also Qin Mu, forget about the past.
Qin Mu shook his head, his hair drooped and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly. He seemed to be talking to himself, and also seemed to say to Chu Li: "How can it be counted? Xingzhe is dead, and this hurdle will never be passed."
Chu Li didn't answer this sentence. For Qin Mu, his death was just a hurdle, but he himself really experienced the feeling of being cold all over and life passing by little by little.Even after he became Chu Li, he would dream of that scene again and again, and then suddenly wake up from the dream.
At the beginning, he would be angry, and he would also want to find out Ning Weidong and Qin Mu, but so what?When he woke up in the body of "Chu Li" at the beginning, Zhang Qiguo always chanted a sentence, his life was picked up, so he didn't dare to think about it anymore.He thought at the time, his life was really saved, why he had to get involved with the past when he couldn't think about it.He is Chu Li now, not Jiang Xingzhe, even if he finds Qin Mu, what can he do?
He was silently thinking about his own thoughts, Qin Mu didn't care, and said alone: "You know what? When Xingzhe was alive, I just wanted to get rid of him. I felt that his existence was like a cage, which made people feel uncomfortable. Not free at all. But after Xingzhe died, I realized that I was not freed as I imagined, and I was actually used to having him by my side..."
Jiang Xingzhe likes Qin Mu, and he doesn't know how to hide it.He was clumsy, like a child eager to please Qin Mu, he walked around Qin Mu every day, wishing to present everything about himself to Qin Mu.He thought it was liking, and it was enough to simply think that he was nice to Qin Mu.That's why he liked Wu Lili in his freshman year of high school.Whatever Wu Lili wants, he will be very happy if he buys Wu Lili.If it were Qin Mu, Qin Mu likes filming, so he will help attract resources and let Qin Mu be the leading actor. Qin Mu should be happy too, right?
It's just that he didn't notice that Qin Mu was not a little girl, but a man like him, even a bit machismo.
On the one hand, Qin Mu has his own ambition and wants to make a career in the entertainment industry.From this perspective, Jiang Xingzhe is his best support.There are no messy unspoken rules, and he doesn't need to work hard to find the source. He only needs to focus on acting, commercials, movies... Whatever he wants, Jiang Xingzhe will help him get it.
But on the other hand, Qin Mu's manly dignity couldn't convince himself to accept what Jiang Xingzhe offered.At first, he regarded Jiang Xingzhe as a friend, and he could say thank you without any worries.But facing Jiang Xingzhe's revealing of his feelings, Qin Mu himself understood that it was difficult to say the word "thank you".Jiang Xingzhe gave too much, and he didn't dare to take it if he couldn't afford it.Although Qin Mu didn't want to admit it, in the eyes of others, their relationship was maintenance.Jiang Xingzhe was fearless, but Qin Mu occasionally heard other people's private discussions, but felt that it was a kind of "humiliation".
At that time, he was very contradictory. He knew that Jiang Xingzhe was good to him, and even secretly enjoyed this kind of kindness in his heart, but he felt that this kind of depressiveness made him breathless, and he wanted to get rid of it far away.
Qin Mu smiled bitterly: "Chu Li, you must think that I am hypocritical. While enjoying the resources provided by Xing Zhe, I still find Xing Zhe troublesome... I don't know why this is so? Sometimes I think it is because of fear, and Xing Zhe is more sincere. , I am more afraid. His liking is too hot, like the sun in the sky, making people warm but not too close. What if I wake up? If I find out that this is a dream, what should I do in the future?"
Luo Cheng had hinted to him in a roundabout way in private that a son like Jiang Xingzhe was unreliable.When the relationship is good, everything is fine, but when the relationship is not good, everything in the past is just a joke.Not to mention that Qin Mu is a man who can't have children, he couldn't tie Jiang Xingzhe even if he wanted to.Even if the actresses in the circle can have children, and a few of them marry rich families, aren't they still treated as playthings, and the novelty is not a few days old?
At that time, he and Jiang Xingzhe had a good relationship, and he could feel that Jiang Xingzhe liked him, but Jiang Xingzhe pretended to be stupid and didn't say anything, but he was a little hesitant.However, Luo Cheng's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the flame of hesitation in his heart.After calming down, he felt that what Luo Cheng said was right. Jiang Xingzhe was too young to be determined at all. Now he likes it immediately, but what if he doesn't like it in the future?
Luo Cheng also said that he and Jiang Xingzhe were not equal in status, and it was difficult for them to have equal feelings.If the two were really together, others would not believe that they were true love, but would only think that it was Qin Mu who hugged the Jiang family's thigh.Qin Mu can ignore it once or twice, but can he still be so open-minded after a long time?More importantly, Qin Mu's career will be tied to Jiang Xingzhe forever.Others would not see Qin Mu's efforts, but would only think that everything he got was because of Jiang Xingzhe.
Is this what Qin Mu wants?
Qin Mu finished drinking a can of beer and opened a second can: "... I remember Xing Zhe's help to me in my heart, thinking that I will repay him in the future. I always feel that I can't repay Xing Zhe except my feelings. I can give him..."
"so?"
It was the first time that Chu Li looked at Qin Mu squarely, his eyes were complicated and difficult to understand.He thought that no matter how much he said he didn't mind and could think about it, he was still a little bit unwilling.
"So I want to accompany him... He and Jiang Xingjian have a bad relationship. It's too lonely in Jiang's house, and I only have Ning Weidong as a friend by my side. I think I can't give him affection, but I can accompany him .”
——Qin Mu laughed at himself.What he said in his mouth was probably a kind of deception.He is an adult, so he naturally knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and only rewards come from hard work, and naturally he has to make up for his hard work if he gets rewarded.He couldn't refuse the resources provided by Jiang Xingzhe, but he didn't want to be said to support him.He refused to respond to Jiang Xingzhe's feelings, but what if he just stayed with him?In this way, no matter how others talk about it, he can "righteously" feel that it is just slander.
It's just...Qin Mu covered his eyes: "Xing Zhe is very good, he is the purest person I have ever met. How can you not like him when he is close..."
As Qin Mu himself said, Jiang Xingzhe is a very pure person. If he hates it, he hates it, and if he likes it, he likes it.For two full years, he showed his feelings to Qin Mu truthfully and frankly as before.No matter how hard Qin Mu refused to admit it, he was gradually attracted to Jiang Xingzhe, but the frame he had set for himself was too long, and he was unable to take that step
During the period before Jiang Xingzhe's death, the two quarreled very frequently, and Qin Mu would be cold-faced over trivial matters. Maybe it was because he subconsciously knew his feelings, but the reality was unacceptable, so this method "has harmed others".
He was probably really drunk. He pulled Chu Li and said, "When I was filming "Wrong Way", I just wanted to prove myself and win the best actor. In fact, I just want to prove it to Xing Zhe. I think if I win the best actor, can the distance between the two be shortened, can I stand on an equal footing... Tell me, does Xing Zhe know? ?”
Chu Li exhaled lightly, wanting to pull out his hand.As for whether Jiang Xingzhe knew or not, what does it matter?
However, before he had time to move, there was a sudden "crack" applause at the door.
Chu Li turned his head in surprise, and saw the waiter standing at the door with his face up, as if he wanted to come in, but Jiang Xingjian blocked in front of the waiter.The applause came from Jiang Xingjian. He walked in with a sneer, pulled Qin Mu past him and punched him.
Chu Li: "..."
Everyone's eyes flickered, and Qin Mu glanced around casually, already accustomed to all kinds of prying and guessing in this circle.Even if you want to live well in this circle, you have to "like" and even actively provide some material for snooping and guessing.He thought about it nonchalantly, and found Chu Li in the last row of the business car, paused, walked over and sat in front of Chu Li.
Across a row of seats, Qin Mu heard Chu Li on the phone, as if he was telling someone that the crew would not go back to eat after dinner at night.His tone was brisk, and it could be heard that he was very intimate with the person on the other side of the phone.Occasionally, I will impatiently deal with the sentence "Got it", and there seems to be honey in the voice.Qin Mu was a little curious about who was on the other side of the phone?He knew that Chu Li was a local, could it be Chu Li's family, or... Jiang Xingjian?
During this period of time, Jiang Xingjian often came to the crew to deliver meals to Chu Li according to the time. Occasionally, when Jiang Xingjian didn't come, the person who delivered the meals would be replaced by Aunt Pei.In the past, Qin Mu followed Jiang Xingzhe to taste Aunt Pei's craft, so he naturally knew the relationship between Aunt Pei and the Jiang family.Thinking about the last time someone from the crew said that Chu Li seemed to be living with Jiang Xingjian, he was somewhat sure that the person on the other side of the phone was Jiang Xingjian.
This made Qin Mu a little confused.
Although he hadn't dealt with Jiang Xingjian much in the past, he heard Jiang Xingjian's name quite often from Jiang Xingzhe.According to Xing Zhe, the relationship between the two is not good.This badness is two-way, not just Xingzhe's one-way dislike of Jiang Xingjian.What he even knew was that before his death, Xingzhe and Jiang Xingjian had an unpleasant quarrel over Jiang's entertainment.

"Eh?" Chu Li was still thinking about what Jiang Xingjian said about coming to pick him up at night, but he didn't react for a while after hearing Qin Mu's words.

Chu Li was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized what Qin Mu was talking about.He didn't answer immediately, Qin Mu said again: "The studio I told you is almost done. The office is located in Haicheng, the house has been rented, and the procedures have basically been completed. Now I'm planning to sign a few more Famous artists. To be honest, the resources of the studio will not be very good at the beginning, but I will try my best to push the signed artists, and the specific split can also be discussed. And I will take you with you no matter what, the size is also an advantage.”
Last time Qin Mu only briefly mentioned it, but this time he talked about it in more detail.Frankly speaking, Qin Mu personally came forward to solicit, and "secondly cares about Chuli", which is quite sincere for a person like Chuli who is not well-known.And the share can be discussed in detail, which is a big concession.However, Chu Li's family knew their own business, so they shook their heads and declined.
"What? I'm not sincere enough?"
No matter how Qin Mu is a new film star, he is inevitably a little embarrassed to be rejected again and again, so he can't help but joke.
Chu Li was about to pull Jiang Xingjian out as a shield, Luo Cheng, who was a step behind, squeezed into the car, saw Qin Mu smiling, and walked across the aisle to sit.

As the rear row quieted down, like a chain reaction, the voice of the whole car lowered a few degrees.Half an hour later, the black commercial vehicle stopped at the gate of Hot Pot City.
Since it is named after "City", the place Ma Ge booked is big enough. The three-story building stands on the side of the street, and the smell of hot pot is wafting in the wind.Before Chu Li got out of the car, he received a text message from Pei Kai.Pei Kai was in another car and arrived a few minutes earlier than Chu Li.He said in the text message that he had already reserved a seat for Chu Li and asked Chu Li to go up quickly.Chu Li looked at the text message and laughed.

Chu Li was eating well, and in the midst of his busy schedule, he raised his eyelids and glanced at the Coke in front of him, and raised his eyebrows: "Take a Coke as a respect?"
Pei Kai couldn't help laughing when he saw Coke, hehe said: "Jiang Xingjian is restricting you from drinking, not me? I am in front and you follow. Who cares whether you are drinking alcohol or Coke. But... ..." He drawled his voice curiously: "What will happen if you really drink Jiang Xingjian?"
Chu Li said depressedly: "It's not good." He is not a child, and Jiang Xingjian will never roll up his sleeves to teach him, but punishment is not the only way.He added: "It is estimated that there will be no game consoles for a week."
Pei Kai knows Chu Li's enthusiasm for games. In the past, Chu Li used a small broken smart phone, which was full of various games.Last time he went to Chu Li's temporary apartment and saw the game console that Jiang Xingjian bought.After playing with Chu Li for an afternoon, he was immediately conquered by his unparalleled experience.Thinking about not being able to play for a week, he couldn't help laughing: "So cruel?"
Chu Li nodded, thinking that Jiang Xingjian really treated himself like a younger brother.If he had quarreled with Jiang Xingjian before, why would he not be allowed to drink at the dinner party? Isn't it because he was thirsty and drank a can of cold beer the night before, and ended up having a stomachache in the middle of the night?It's been two days and he's already fine.But he shouted reluctance, but he was actually quite happy in his heart, as if being managed like this was closer, more like a family.Just like Zhang Qiguo's nagging, although he repeated the same words every time, he was willing to listen.
He was too lazy to toast and let Pei Kai go by himself.Pei Kai held his wine glass and looked around. There were not many people in the box where they were, and most of them gathered next to Brother Ma.He was a little worried about Chu Li: "Are you okay by yourself?"
Chu Li waved his hand: "What's the problem!"
As soon as Pei Kai left, Chu Li rubbed his stomach and lost interest in cooking meat, thinking about going out to have a rest.He passed several boxes along the corridor, except for the box where Brother Ma was crowded, the others were deserted and almost deserted.When he passed by the last box, he faintly heard the voice of arguing inside. He had heard that voice for two years and was very familiar with it.Chu Li just paused for a moment, and was about to leave without intending to meddle in other people's business, but suddenly there was a voice inside: "I don't agree with you signing Chu Li."
Hearing his name, Chu Li subconsciously stopped.A familiar voice sounded immediately, and seemed a little excited: "Why? Ah Cheng, tell me a reason. Chu Li is in good condition and looks good. Even you yourself said that he has great potential."
Sure enough, Chu Li shrugged. It was Luo Cheng who was arguing with Qin Mu, and the focus of their dispute seemed to be himself.This is really... Chu Li felt that he should really feel "honored", after all, Jiang Xingzhe didn't get this kind of treatment in the past.But he was a little strange, didn't Qin Mu tell Luo Cheng that he didn't plan to sign with their studio?Otherwise, how can we still quarrel?Luo Cheng lowered his voice again, not knowing what he said.Chu Li didn't intend to listen any more, and was about to leave when the door of the box opened suddenly, and Qin Mu walked out with a sullen face.
Chu Li: "..."
The two looked at each other, Chu Li was a little embarrassed.He didn't mean to listen to what they had to say, but it didn't seem appropriate to say anything now.He smiled and was about to leave, but Qin Mu suddenly pulled him back: "Come out with me for a few drinks?"
As they got closer, there was a strong smell of alcohol coming from Qin Mu's body.I also know that many people must take the opportunity of eating to find Qin Mu to get close.He wants to maintain his "personality", and it's not good to make a bad face at this time, he can only pretend to be approachable and drink as much as he wants.Chu Li knew that Qin Mu didn't like to drink. In the past, on similar occasions, as long as he sat there with a sullen face, no one would dare to approach him ignorantly.Anyway, Qin Mu was "wronged", he took the responsibility of scolding him, and he didn't care if others scolded him behind his back.
But now that Qin Mu wanted to get him to drink, Chu Li's first reaction was: "Jiang Xingjian won't let me drink."
After finishing speaking, Chu Li was stunned. He really didn't pull Jiang Xingjian out as an excuse, but really spoke faster than his brain, and he said it as soon as he was bald.The expression on his face was a little strange, and he seemed a little shocked. Qin Mu couldn't tell the difference for a while, so he smiled: "That's still here, I'm drinking, what do you want to eat?"
I don't know if it was Chu Li's illusion, but Qin Mu's tone seemed to be slightly pleading. Rather than saying that he wanted someone to drink with him, it was better to say that he simply wanted to find someone to accompany him.He watched Qin Mu hold his hand that he had not let go, hesitated for a while: "Let them order a bowl of noodles."
Qin Mu asked the waiter to reopen a box, and only he and Chu Li sat in it.Chu Li texted Pei Kai, looked up and Qin Mu ordered several cans of beer.He probably knew that some of them had drunk too much, so he didn't dare to drink anything else, so he only took beer to make do with it.
Chu Li's thoughts drifted away, and he heard Qin Mu suddenly say: "Did you hear me quarreling with Ah Cheng?"
Chu Li simply nodded.
Qin Mu was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Don't mind, Ah Cheng is not targeting you, he is..."
"I know, he's targeting Jiang Xingzhe." Seeing that Qin Mu didn't seem to be able to speak, Chu Li finished the rest of the sentence for him.
Qin Mu smiled wryly, raised his head and took a sip of the wine, and continued: "...you and Xing Zhe look alike, Ah Cheng will inevitably get into a dead end..." He lowered his voice, "Ah Cheng thinks I hate Xing Zhe, in fact, he doesn't know..."
Do not know what is this?Chu Li looked up at Qin Mu, but Qin Mu didn't say anything further.He shook the beer in his hand and resumed the topic: "Last time on the warehouse balcony... I always wanted to say sorry to you."
Chu Li looked at him strangely, wondering why Qin Mu felt guilty?It was he and Ning Weidong who had the conflict, and Chu Li was completely on the same side, and it was Ning Weidong's fault that it was affected by one or two points at most.
Qin Mu didn't look at Chu Li, but said in a low voice: "Do you still remember that Ning Weidong first went to the bar to trouble you? I actually told him the address at that time. I didn't expect him to trouble you, but it turned out..."
As a result, Ning Weidong and Chu Li became enemies because of this, and jumped out again and again to find trouble.
Chu Li followed the logic, and said softly: "Forget about the past."
——Not only Ning Weidong, but also Qin Mu, forget about the past.
Qin Mu shook his head, his hair drooped and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly. He seemed to be talking to himself, and also seemed to say to Chu Li: "How can it be counted? Xingzhe is dead, and this hurdle will never be passed."
Chu Li didn't answer this sentence. For Qin Mu, his death was just a hurdle, but he himself really experienced the feeling of being cold all over and life passing by little by little.Even after he became Chu Li, he would dream of that scene again and again, and then suddenly wake up from the dream.
At the beginning, he would be angry, and he would also want to find out Ning Weidong and Qin Mu, but so what?When he woke up in the body of "Chu Li" at the beginning, Zhang Qiguo always chanted a sentence, his life was picked up, so he didn't dare to think about it anymore.He thought at the time, his life was really saved, why he had to get involved with the past when he couldn't think about it.He is Chu Li now, not Jiang Xingzhe, even if he finds Qin Mu, what can he do?
He was silently thinking about his own thoughts, Qin Mu didn't care, and said alone: "You know what? When Xingzhe was alive, I just wanted to get rid of him. I felt that his existence was like a cage, which made people feel uncomfortable. Not free at all. But after Xingzhe died, I realized that I was not freed as I imagined, and I was actually used to having him by my side..."
Jiang Xingzhe likes Qin Mu, and he doesn't know how to hide it.He was clumsy, like a child eager to please Qin Mu, he walked around Qin Mu every day, wishing to present everything about himself to Qin Mu.He thought it was liking, and it was enough to simply think that he was nice to Qin Mu.That's why he liked Wu Lili in his freshman year of high school.Whatever Wu Lili wants, he will be very happy if he buys Wu Lili.If it were Qin Mu, Qin Mu likes filming, so he will help attract resources and let Qin Mu be the leading actor. Qin Mu should be happy too, right?
It's just that he didn't notice that Qin Mu was not a little girl, but a man like him, even a bit machismo.
On the one hand, Qin Mu has his own ambition and wants to make a career in the entertainment industry.From this perspective, Jiang Xingzhe is his best support.There are no messy unspoken rules, and he doesn't need to work hard to find the source. He only needs to focus on acting, commercials, movies... Whatever he wants, Jiang Xingzhe will help him get it.
But on the other hand, Qin Mu's manly dignity couldn't convince himself to accept what Jiang Xingzhe offered.At first, he regarded Jiang Xingzhe as a friend, and he could say thank you without any worries.But facing Jiang Xingzhe's revealing of his feelings, Qin Mu himself understood that it was difficult to say the word "thank you".Jiang Xingzhe gave too much, and he didn't dare to take it if he couldn't afford it.Although Qin Mu didn't want to admit it, in the eyes of others, their relationship was maintenance.Jiang Xingzhe was fearless, but Qin Mu occasionally heard other people's private discussions, but felt that it was a kind of "humiliation".
At that time, he was very contradictory. He knew that Jiang Xingzhe was good to him, and even secretly enjoyed this kind of kindness in his heart, but he felt that this kind of depressiveness made him breathless, and he wanted to get rid of it far away.
Qin Mu smiled bitterly: "Chu Li, you must think that I am hypocritical. While enjoying the resources provided by Xing Zhe, I still find Xing Zhe troublesome... I don't know why this is so? Sometimes I think it is because of fear, and Xing Zhe is more sincere. , I am more afraid. His liking is too hot, like the sun in the sky, making people warm but not too close. What if I wake up? If I find out that this is a dream, what should I do in the future?"
Luo Cheng had hinted to him in a roundabout way in private that a son like Jiang Xingzhe was unreliable.When the relationship is good, everything is fine, but when the relationship is not good, everything in the past is just a joke.Not to mention that Qin Mu is a man who can't have children, he couldn't tie Jiang Xingzhe even if he wanted to.Even if the actresses in the circle can have children, and a few of them marry rich families, aren't they still treated as playthings, and the novelty is not a few days old?
At that time, he and Jiang Xingzhe had a good relationship, and he could feel that Jiang Xingzhe liked him, but Jiang Xingzhe pretended to be stupid and didn't say anything, but he was a little hesitant.However, Luo Cheng's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the flame of hesitation in his heart.After calming down, he felt that what Luo Cheng said was right. Jiang Xingzhe was too young to be determined at all. Now he likes it immediately, but what if he doesn't like it in the future?
Luo Cheng also said that he and Jiang Xingzhe were not equal in status, and it was difficult for them to have equal feelings.If the two were really together, others would not believe that they were true love, but would only think that it was Qin Mu who hugged the Jiang family's thigh.Qin Mu can ignore it once or twice, but can he still be so open-minded after a long time?More importantly, Qin Mu's career will be tied to Jiang Xingzhe forever.Others would not see Qin Mu's efforts, but would only think that everything he got was because of Jiang Xingzhe.
Is this what Qin Mu wants?
Qin Mu finished drinking a can of beer and opened a second can: "... I remember Xing Zhe's help to me in my heart, thinking that I will repay him in the future. I always feel that I can't repay Xing Zhe except my feelings. I can give him..."
"so?"
It was the first time that Chu Li looked at Qin Mu squarely, his eyes were complicated and difficult to understand.He thought that no matter how much he said he didn't mind and could think about it, he was still a little bit unwilling.
"So I want to accompany him... He and Jiang Xingjian have a bad relationship. It's too lonely in Jiang's house, and I only have Ning Weidong as a friend by my side. I think I can't give him affection, but I can accompany him .”
——Qin Mu laughed at himself.What he said in his mouth was probably a kind of deception.He is an adult, so he naturally knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and only rewards come from hard work, and naturally he has to make up for his hard work if he gets rewarded.He couldn't refuse the resources provided by Jiang Xingzhe, but he didn't want to be said to support him.He refused to respond to Jiang Xingzhe's feelings, but what if he just stayed with him?In this way, no matter how others talk about it, he can "righteously" feel that it is just slander.
It's just...Qin Mu covered his eyes: "Xing Zhe is very good, he is the purest person I have ever met. How can you not like him when he is close..."
As Qin Mu himself said, Jiang Xingzhe is a very pure person. If he hates it, he hates it, and if he likes it, he likes it.For two full years, he showed his feelings to Qin Mu truthfully and frankly as before.No matter how hard Qin Mu refused to admit it, he was gradually attracted to Jiang Xingzhe, but the frame he had set for himself was too long, and he was unable to take that step
During the period before Jiang Xingzhe's death, the two quarreled very frequently, and Qin Mu would be cold-faced over trivial matters. Maybe it was because he subconsciously knew his feelings, but the reality was unacceptable, so this method "has harmed others".
He was probably really drunk. He pulled Chu Li and said, "When I was filming "Wrong Way", I just wanted to prove myself and win the best actor. In fact, I just want to prove it to Xing Zhe. I think if I win the best actor, can the distance between the two be shortened, can I stand on an equal footing... Tell me, does Xing Zhe know? ?”
Chu Li exhaled lightly, wanting to pull out his hand.As for whether Jiang Xingzhe knew or not, what does it matter?
However, before he had time to move, there was a sudden "crack" applause at the door.
Chu Li turned his head in surprise, and saw the waiter standing at the door with his face up, as if he wanted to come in, but Jiang Xingjian blocked in front of the waiter.The applause came from Jiang Xingjian. He walked in with a sneer, pulled Qin Mu past him and punched him.
Chu Li: "..."
