duet

The alarm bell on the bedside rang twice and was immediately turned off.With his eyes closed, Pei Xun felt that the other half of the pillow had sunk slightly. Someone was supporting him with an elbow, and he slowly sat up.

He asked, "What time is it?"

"04:30." Zhou Nian whispered.The morning in the mountains was chilly, so he tucked the quilt up for Pei Xun: "I'll go to the group first...you go to sleep."

As he spoke, he leaned down slightly, and lightly touched Pei Xun's forehead with his lips.Pei Xun laughed and sat up too: "I'll go with you."

Pei Xun came casually, did not bring a change of clothes, at this time he was wearing Zhou Nian's clothes all over his body.A light shirt with denim trousers, and her hair tied up in a braid with a rope, showing a rare youthful vigor.Zhou Nian was used to the neat appearance of his clothes, the more she looked at it now, the more she liked the way he wore her own clothes, and her eyes lingered on him.When I arrived at the set, I discovered another benefit of dressing like this: it is not easy to be recognized by others.

When the film crew is filming, it is reasonable that there should be no idlers onlookers.Fortunately, when Pei Xun and Zhou Nian came to the venue, the first person they met was Bai Hua.

He first nodded to Zhou Nian to say hello, only to realize that there was someone hiding behind him, and immediately froze for a moment: "You..."

Pei Xun winked at him: "Hush."

Only then did Bai Hua suppress her doubts.He glanced over, but didn't make a sound, he just took off his peaked cap and put it on his head with force.

They followed Bai Hua to the filming location, saving a lot of trouble along the way.The director didn't say anything, and the other staff naturally didn't bother to investigate this suspicious person of unknown origin, they just regarded it as a new staff member.It wasn't until Song Yuzhen and Li Jinxiang arrived at the scene together that he discovered the true identity of the "staff" and was taken aback by him.

"Why are you here?" Seeing that there was no one around, Song Yuzhen immediately moved to his side.

The sky waits for no one, Zhou Nian has already been caught by the make-up artist and daubed.Pei Xun couldn't see anyone, so he went to find clumps of wild flowers hidden in the long grass, and studied them with great interest: "Exploring the class."

"Whose class are you looking for? Zhou Nian?" Song Yuzhen saw the truth in an instant.

"It's actually Li Jin." Pei Xun glanced at him.

"..." Song Yuzhen choked for a moment, "That's right, she is still your girlfriend on the surface, but she can block you... Wait, you didn't ask her to play this role just because of this in the first place." Is it a movie?!"

"...You overestimate me too." Pei Xun said.

He stood up and patted the broken grass on the corner of his clothes.Song Yu really thought about it, and then said: "That's right, no one can plug people into Lao Bai's crew—but why did you two get together again?"

Pei Xun didn't speak, just smiled.Song Yuzhen still wanted to ask, but suddenly he heard the sound of people running in front of him.The photographer and lighting engineer were all in position, and Bai Hua also sat behind the monitor.He looked over there, sure enough, Zhou Nian had come out of the dressing room.

Pei Xun also took a look: "Is today the diving session?"

He drew the storyboard for "Mountain Ghost", so he is naturally familiar with the scenes that the film should have.Zhou Nian was only wearing shorts, with two slender and straight legs naked, and his upper body was naked, covered with a large snow-white bath towel.He knew which scene of the script this was - the young students first arrived in the mountains, and they knew nothing about all the sufferings that would happen here, and only felt that everything here was novel and interesting.I discovered this small lake when I was sketching the day before, and I thought about going into the water the next day.

They are in a valley.The vegetation is luxuriant, verdant and sparse, and the green branches and leaves in early summer spread upwards, almost covering the sky.There is a small pool of water on the side of the mountain wall, like a solid piece of emerald, it should be quite deep, and you can't see the bottom at a glance.

"The scene is quite restored." Pei Xun said.

"That's right." Song Yuzhen curled his lips, "Baihua has almost become a travel expert in order to find the lake in his mind... Wait, Zhou Nian is almost naked, are you still in the mood to see the lake?"

The mountains and forests are quiet, except for Yu Xiachan's long chirping.Zhou Nian briskly steps into the camera from the left and stands on the bluestone on the shore.He took off the towel, put it aside, and fully exposed his figure to everyone.

This is a young and healthy body.His hair color and eye color are very dark, which makes his complexion fairer. Under the light and shadow swaying in the wind in the forest, he has a vague sense of clarity.Zhou Nian has a slender figure, his muscles are not obvious, but they are smooth, and every part is full of youthful vitality.

For a moment, Pei Xun regretted not leaving a few marks on this body last night - he never had such a habit, but at this moment he understood Zhou Nian's mood when he bit him.

He took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the people in Chishang.

Randomly moving closer, Zhou Nian plunged into the water, bringing out a series of splashing waves.After a while, he emerged from the water, and round drops of water slid down his face in strings.

In the camera, he is clearly alone, but there is a smile on his face.This smile was not abrupt, Zhou Nian subtly controlled the changes in his expression, at first he only raised the corners of his mouth, and finally bit his lips slowly and smiled.

His leisure and happiness are so pure, everyone who has lived in a cage for a long time and suddenly returns to nature knows this kind of wildness-unrestrained and free.

...Actually, he might not have thought so much, Pei Xun was self-reflecting.But he just felt that every slight change in Zhou Nian's expression was good and just right.No reason, no reason.

The light rose at this moment.The morning light that Bai Hua had been waiting for for a long time finally diffused over the treetops and cast shadows onto the water.Zhou Nian started to swim in this fragmented light, like a white bird in water.

Pei Xun pressed the camera button countless times for him.

He followed Zhou Nian to the set, originally to see how he acted.After all, Zhou Nian has not acted under a good director for too long, and he still remembers how this person shined on the screen in the first place.Unexpectedly, I came along, but happened to meet him in a rare scene in the film where he betrayed his beauty... Pei Xun looked around, and glanced at the people on the sidelines—everyone had a dazzled look on their faces .It is not difficult to imagine how the girls will scream when this clip is shown in theaters in the future.

And he really is that good.

Bai Hua finally yelled "Cut", and this was considered a one-time pass.The staff rushed over, pulled Zhou Nian out of the water, and wrapped it in a towel—even though it was already June, it was still necessary to prevent the protagonist from catching a cold.

Zhou Nian's mind was not on this, he looked around for a while, finally found the person holding the brim of the hat, and ran over immediately while no one was paying attention.

Song Yuzhen was still standing beside Pei Xun.Because of this, Zhou Nian stopped the car in front of them, and didn't directly hug him.

"Isn't it cold?" Pei Xun touched his face, it was cold.No matter how beautiful he looks, he has actually been immersed in cold water for a long time.

Zhou Nian didn't answer, he quickly glanced at Song Yuzhen, and then made up his mind.

He leaned over and quickly kissed Pei Xun on the face.

Song Yuzhen: "..."

"It's hot now." Zhou Nian bent his eyes.

Water was still dripping from his locks of hair, and his eyebrows had been washed with water. When he smiled, he looked like a vivid ink painting.Pei Xun was startled, and then smiled.

They didn't get tired of it for long.Zhou Nian's assistant called him from a distance, saying that he had prepared ginger tea and asked him to take a sip to drive away the cold.Pei Xun pushed him, Zhou Niancai turned around and ran back.

"I always thought Zhou Nian was aloof..." Song Yuzhen said angrily.

Taking advantage of the break, Bai Hua walked up to Zhou Nian and talked with him about the next scene.Pei Xun wanted to laugh when he heard this, but the phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly.

He opened his eyes and took a few steps outside, standing under the shade of a remote tree.

"I said..." Song Yuzhen originally wanted to make fun of him, but seeing his expression, he stopped immediately, "What's wrong?"

Pei Xun turned his hand to show him the photo on the screen.It was a smiling baby, it looked very small, but it was white and beautiful.

The sender is Xu Liang.

Song Yuzhen asked: "...your brother?"

"Yeah." Pei Xun said.

He opened the webpage, entered the word "Pei Hong", and the words "Full Moon Banquet" immediately popped up.Pei Xun opened the window. His father, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was still extravagant as usual. The scene was quite big, and I didn't know how many people were invited—except him.

"An insider said that Mr. Pei was very fond of Mr. Pei because he resembled him when he was young..." Song Yuzhen read the report with his head down, "The child was only a few dozen days old, so can you tell the resemblance?"

"He... cares about these things very much." Pei Xun smiled silently, "He used to always say that I am nothing like him at all."

He lowered his eyes and still had a smile on his face, but it was completely different from the expression he had when he faced Zhou Nian just now.

Song Yuzhen looked at him, paused, and changed the subject: "Well... this new lady is pretty good-looking. She looks familiar? Could it be an actress?"

"Ah."

"...not well-known?"

"Yeah." Pei Xun just smiled, "Most of his first few wives came from extraordinary backgrounds—my grandfather paid attention to these things. After that, it doesn't matter."

He looked at his relatives in the news, brushing his fingers over their faces.

"Then...you don't want to see them," Song Yuzhen gestured to the scene on the screen, "you came here?"

"Not only." Pei Xun said, "The gentleman you recommended to me last time said that Pei Hong seems to have found out that someone is investigating him, and suggested that I go to another place to escape temporarily."

His voice and expression were extremely calm, as if he was talking about other people's affairs.Song Yuzhen scratched his hair, knowing that these things should not be mentioned again, and kept silent.

"I thought you were here to look for Zhou Nian," he said after a while, "I was wondering why you started turning around."

He remembered the way Pei Xun looked at Zhou Nian earlier, and thought it was a lighter topic.But Pei Xun didn't speak.

He sat on the grass with his back facing Zhou Nian's direction.After a while, he said softly, "It's time to come... I didn't think it through enough."

"...Don't deceive other people's feelings."

"..."

"Don't you forget what I said before? The sentence about sincerity."

"Remember." Pei Xun said.

Song Yu was almost out of words - he found that this was not an easy topic.He sat beside him: "Anyway, you're here now—what are you going to do?"

Through the branches and leaves of the dense forest, the sun spread down, casting swaying spots of light on his body.Pei Xun put his back down and lay down among the grass blades, covering the bright white sunlight in front of his eyes with his hands.

"Try it," he said at last.
