As Shi Luo approached gradually, Xi Changlin had to raise his head to look directly into his eyes.The young man was too lazy to move, so he simply closed his eyes, and said in a neutral tone, "Even if I'm wrapped in cotton trousers, it doesn't seem to be your business, does it?"

This made Shi Luo unable to answer for a while, staring at Xi Changlin, snorting twice with a strange expression, pulled the chair that Du Qi sat on just now away from Xi Changlin, and sat down.

"Which role did you take?" Shi Luo put his hands on the back of the chair next to him, raised his left leg and shook it a few times, and turned his head to Xi Changlin.Under the bright light, the blue-gray above his head was reflected darker, and it was hard to see the gray.

Without waiting for Xi Changlin to answer, he first counted on his fingers: "Several male characters - Lu Xiaogui belongs to Chen Siming, Mu Xibei belongs to Lou Yang, and I play Liu Shuangqing, and the remaining one belongs to Chen Cheng. You won't play tricks again, will you?"

Xi Changlin snorted softly: "Whether I run away or not is none of your business."

Shi Luo was so angry that he cursed, rolled his eyes, and stood up, "I haven't seen you for so long. Your expressive ability has really improved a lot... Heh, I don't want to talk, I'm leaving!"

"To each other." Xi Changlin raised his eyelids, and there was a bit of teasing in his eyes, "Your aesthetic level has also improved, green suits you very well, next time you can try green grass color."

The young man in the light gray patterned shirt turned his head abruptly and raised his middle finger at Xi Changlin, but the latter closed his eyes again and just missed it.

The time is getting closer to the opening ceremony, and the outside of the lounge is full of footsteps coming and going and whispered conversations, and people come in to get things from time to time, which does not meet Xi Changlin's requirements for the rest environment. He frowned calmly and opened the door. With a thin blanket on my lap, I got up and went out, looking out through the half-open window.

There is a drizzle, the breeze is gentle, the flowers are blowing and the leaves are moving, and the distant forest is leisurely.

The invited guests and the media were walking towards the Diancui Building in twos and threes—because the weather was not beautiful, the venue for the opening ceremony was moved from the Qianping to the indoors—with the help of the system, Xi Changlin became familiar with these people.

This kind of occasion is more or less social, but Xi Changlin will not rush to chat.With his status and status, if no one recommends him, even if the bosses drop a pen by accident and he picks it up for him, it will be interpreted as a relationship and hugging his thigh.

What's more, young people don't really want to work hard to please others, let alone please others, one He Chi is enough.

He asked Du Qi to borrow an umbrella, left from the side gate of Xiyuan, followed a secret path, all the way to a certain stone tablet behind Diancui Tower.

According to system monitoring, Gong Zhuo is here.

The stele has been weathered for a long time, and the handwriting on it has been mottled and unreadable. It is about half a person's height, half of which is covered by the shade of a tree, and the other half is soaked in the rain and is moistened into a dark color.Gong Zhuo stood on the side without any shelter, with his hands in his pockets, looking up at the treetops, his back was lonely and stubborn.

Xi Changlin held an umbrella and stood silently behind him, until Gong Zhuo turned around and found him, then he smiled lightly and said, "Today is an auspicious day."

"Yes, otherwise the old man would not have chosen to hold the opening ceremony today." Gong Zhuo glanced at the seven-storey pavilion standing under the cloudy clouds, the red-painted green tiles were glistened by the drizzle, and they were misty.

"What were you thinking just now?" Xi Changlin asked.

"I didn't think about anything." Gong Zhuo said casually.After a while, he closed his eyes, turned around again, and just when Xi Changlin thought he would not tell, he spoke:

"Someone once made a wish here, hoping that he could see spring flowers blooming and autumn leaves falling one after another, but he died not long after. It is said that this place is very spiritual for making wishes, but I don't think It's bullshit."

Xi Changlin tightened his hand on the hook of the long-handled umbrella handle, his knuckles were distinct, jade white and gentle. "Is that... 'Damascena Rose'?" he asked again.

Gong Zhuo gave a light "hmm".

This person's dressing style today is the same as in the past, with the word "expensive" from the beginning to the end.But all of this was drenched in the rain and lost its luster, and his dandy temperament was washed away; his hair was tousled by the wind, his eyes dimmed, and he was lonely and dazed. Child.

"Death is not scary." Xi Changlin walked over and put half of the umbrella over Gong Zhuo's head, "It just makes people fall into a long dream."

Gong Zhuo raised his eyebrows, staring into Xi Changlin's eyes with unknown meaning: "Then what's so scary?"

"A person who lives and puts others to death." Xi Changlin said.

"Are you willing to be that kind of person?" Gong Zhuo asked almost forcefully.

Xi Changlin raised his hand to push away the wet bangs of the man in front of him, and brushed his hair up, before replying: "I have always been this kind of person. I can see that you want to be this kind of person, but You are not ready enough. The previous promise will always be valid, and when you think about it, you are welcome to come to me at any time."

The young man's face was still beautiful and well-behaved, his deep black eyes were calm and moist, and the fine rays of light shone apart, like a lake reflecting the sky.The tone is also soft, like petals swirling in the wind and falling down, brushing across the water, creating slight ripples.

Gong Zhuo looked at Xi Changlin for a long time, and finally smiled.

The wind passed between the two, bringing a fresh earthy smell, mixed with the fragrance of flowers, like a little bit of fine wine accidentally leaked in the deep mountains.

The naughty smile returned to Gongzhuo's face, he glanced at his wristwatch, reached out and lifted Xi Changlin's chin: "You come to me alone with an umbrella, aren't you afraid of what Brother He will say?"

"What will he say? I don't have the relationship with him as you think." Xi Changlin blinked.

Gong Zhuo made an "oh" mouth, "You mean you are not interested in him?"

"I think you're more interesting."

"You talk to him like that?"

"Speak different words to different people."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll turn around and sell you?"

"Then no one will act for you." Xi Changlin bent his eyes, raised his chin unhurriedly towards a certain place, and changed the subject, "It's about to start over there, don't you want to go?"

Gong Jue gave a dissatisfied "tsk", then half-closed his eyes again, and smiled meaningfully: "You said what you said just now, then for the next few hours, you will follow me, and you will not be allowed anywhere else." went."

"That's a good suggestion. After all, a small person like me may be trampled to death in a place where big bosses gather." Xi Changlin smiled and gestured: "Young Master Gong, please shelter me from the wind and rain. ,After you."

"That's natural." Saying that, Gong Zhuo took the umbrella from his hand.

Xi Changlin and Gong Zhuo walked side by side to the back door of Diancui Building, put away their umbrellas and entered, stood in an inconspicuous corner, chatted casually, and waited for the time to pass.

The light of the carved and hollow lanterns is yellowish, reflecting on the green bricks like water, adding a touch of warm color to the screen painting fans and porcelain vase columns.

Many of the ornaments that Xi Changlin saw here last time have been replaced. At this moment, the large and small decorations basically restore the appearance of the pavilion where the Chinese teacher and herdsman Xi Beichang lives in the novel.Gong Zhuo had never watched "The Magical Sun", and hearing what Xi Changlin said, he couldn't help feeling: "Director Qin attaches great importance to this movie."

"Director Qin never perfuses his own works." Xi Changlin said softly.

"But it's never been so rich and powerful like this time." Gong Zhuo pressed Xi Changlin's shoulder meaningfully.

The young man glanced at him and casually smiled, "It seems that many people know about it."

"It's not a lot, I'm just well-informed." Gong Zhuo shrugged, "Director Qin spent a lot of money improving the costumes a while ago, where did the money come from, and why was there such an extra sum of money? Out."

Xi Changlin nodded thoughtfully, looked around but did not find He Chi, and the system did not detect his existence, so he asked, "How did you and He Chi know each other?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, what did I say before? You said you were not interested in him?" Gong Zhuo raised the corners of his lips, as if he thought he had seen through something, and smiled ambiguously.

"I'm asking about you and him." Xi Changlin spread his hands, "So my focus is not on him alone. If it is interesting, it will be interesting to both of you."

Gong Zhuo repeated "tsk" again, not agreeing with Xi Changlin's fallacy at all, but still answered Xi Changlin's question.

"I met him when I was in middle school. Brother He lived in Germany since he was a child, and he only came back once a year to visit his grandfather's grave, and then stayed for a while. That year my family happened to hold a banquet, so we invited their family. It’s just such a clichéd acquaintance. Later...after my death, I was in a bad mood and ran to Europe, wandering like a ghost, and he was entrusted by my family to take care of me, and the relationship gradually became closer.”

Gong Zhuo recounted his acquaintance experience with He Chi in plain and short words, and after glancing at Xi Changlin's expression, he jokingly asked, "Is there anything else you want to know? For example, the history of scandals, embarrassments, black history."

Xi Changlin couldn't hold back a soft laugh, "It seems that you have a strong desire to talk."

"Then I'll tell you about his love history." Gong Zhuo gestured, "He should have dated three boyfriends and girlfriends, but - in my opinion, it can't be strictly called a relationship, because Those three girls and boys were all arranged for him by the head of the He family at that time, the poor and weak brother He was like a breeding pig in the breeding farm, one can't be replaced by another, hey..."

Hearing this, Xi Changlin let out an "oh", and the end tune rose, with a bit of disbelief.

"Who is not under parental control when they are young?" Gong Jue smiled indifferently, "Especially people like us."

Xi Changlin expressed that he understood, and then asked, "Have you met his predecessors?"

"He dated at the speed of light and broke up at the speed of light, so he didn't give me a chance." Gong Zhuo said, "But I can find photos, but I'm not interested in seeing them."

Xi Changlin gave a "tsk" inexplicably.

Gong Zhuo began to babble again, "You still said you are not interested in him", "I can see that you are interested in him", "Admit it generously, identity is not distance, class, not a problem, being born as a human is to boldly pursue love", etc., from chicken soup for the soul to life philosophy.

The voice of the two people talking was low, like mosquitoes buzzing, now Xi Changlin seemed to have hundreds of mosquitoes flying around his ears, which made him wish to shield Gong Zhuo.

"Brother He likes you. The last time I saw me drinking with you, the look in my eyes wished I could be hacked into pieces. So don't feel burdened, admit it boldly, brother will help you... Ugh!"

The young man couldn't bear it anymore, he raised his hands and patted Gong Zhuo's cheeks, and manually helped him close his mouth.

The host announced the official start of the opening ceremony, and the leaders took the stage in order of rank to speak, followed by the director's speech, introducing the film and the main actors.

Xi Changlin leaned his back gently against the pillar, stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"This is very strange." The system popped up, "Those exes were arranged by the family, why did they carry your shadow more or less?"

"How do I know." Xi Changlin said calmly, "It's impossible that their elders liked me more at that time, so use me as a template to help him choose a partner."

The system went through He Chi's information again, and was very suspicious: "Compared with the timeline, he and those three people all dated after he came to Ninghai City. But you didn't meet him that year?"

"Don't think about it, there is always a way for He Chi to say it himself." Xi Changlin rubbed his eyebrows, changed his posture slightly, and looked up at the three actors standing next to Director Qin on the stage, Chen Siming and Lou Yang Standing on his left and right sides respectively, Shi Luo stood next to Lou Yang.

Xi Changlin's glance was purely accidental, but he didn't expect to meet Shi Luo's sight.

How long has he looked at me?An idea popped up in the young man's mind, but because he didn't care much about Shi Luo's attitude towards him, he didn't ask the system.

He Chi finally arrived at this time.

The man is dressed in dark blue, with a silver brooch pinned to his chest. The luster flows with his steps, like stars dotted in the night; the waist of the suit is obvious, which perfectly sets off the narrow waist and long legs; the shirt on the inside is also dark. It seems to be the same style as what he and Xi Changlin wore on the rainy night when they first met.

He came in through the side door, straightened his cuffs and looked inside, without attracting anyone's attention, he found Xi Changlin and came directly to his side, pulling the distance between the young man and Gong Zhuo far away.

"Why do you look so pale?" He Chi raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch Xi Changlin's face, but because of the crowd, he supported his shoulder instead.

Xi Changlin lowered his eyelashes and said in a low voice, "Didn't sleep well".

I sat in the lounge for a while, and when I left, Xi Changlin had calmed down his sickly look.Although there is no makeup on the face, the traces under the eyes are not obvious, and the eyeballs are not much bloodshot, but the corners of the eyes are drooping a little more than usual. When you don't smile, you will feel impatient, but it will not make you feel tired. People feel pale.Only when speaking, could one or two points of lack of energy and blood be heard.

Xi Changlin couldn't figure out how He Chi could see it. It couldn't be that he bought a 24-hour surveillance camera and kept it by his side, right?

Gong Zhuo was also puzzled, the young master gave Xi Changlin an exaggerated look, and said in surprise, "I've been chatting with you for so long, why didn't I see it?"

Xi Changlin didn't answer this question, but He Chi raised his chin somewhere and said, "Your elder brother is looking for you, I think you'd better go over there."

"Yo, Xiao Linlin will go with me. We agreed that he will stay with me all this morning." After Gong Zhuo finished speaking, he took Xi Changlin's arm and was about to walk in the direction He Chi pointed.

It just so happened that the introduction on the stage was over at this time, and the host was saying "I invite He Chi, chairman of Fengyu, to unveil the camera", which made the third young master Gong laugh confidently.

He Chi squinted slightly at Gongzhuo as a warning, and then turned around to go up.

Next is the on-site media questioning session.

Gong Zhuo was taken away by his elder brother to deal with matters, He Chi was also held back by other investors to speak, and Xi Changlin picked up a big bargain and left from Diancui Building holding an umbrella.

Compared with the needle-like drizzle just now, the rain at this moment can be described as "big as a stone". Like a string of beads, Xi Changlin is gathered in the center.

There are too many people coming to Qingming Mountain today, and the Diancui Building and the East and West Gardens are very marked. You can even see garbage or other dropped objects on the ground, completely disturbing the tranquility and elegance of this place.

Xi Changlin glanced around without any emotion, and quickened his pace.

The crew's lounge is located in Xiyuan, where the dressing room and props room are also located. However, there are only a few more open areas than the ones seen last time, and many places are still marked with yellow lines, saying that no entry is allowed.

Xi Changlin put away his umbrella and leaned against the door, took a glass of warm lemonade for himself, and walked slowly towards the lounge.

He didn't have the habit of letting the system broadcast the surrounding situation in real time, which would make him lose his vigilance, so the system would only take the initiative to remind him at critical moments. When he noticed someone talking in the lounge, Xi Changlin couldn't help being a little surprised.

The person inside the door did not lower his voice at all, and was instructing another person to ask... What role did Xi Changlin play, how did he get the role, and what is his relationship with the third young master of the Gong family.

The person who spoke was obviously Shi Luo.

Xi Changlin changed his mind, his lips curled up, and without any concealment, he pushed the door open and walked in with a smile in his voice, "Why don't you just ask me?"

Shi Luo's eyelids suddenly lifted, and from the slightly opened mouth, it could be seen that he wanted to be surprised "Why are you here", but then he closed it suddenly, and when he spoke again, his tone and expression had calmed down.

He snorted coldly and said, "It's like if I ask, you will answer."

"That's right, I'll answer as soon as you ask, how embarrassing." Xi Changlin slowly picked up a chair and sat down, took a sip of water before speaking.

"You—" Shi Luo was so angry that he rolled his eyes carelessly, waved his assistant to go out, and told him to close the door.

"Really not to say?" Shi Luo frowned and came to Xi Changlin.

"Okay, three questions, I'll answer one of them, and you choose yourself." The young man smiled slightly, put the water glass aside, and raised his chin at Shi Luo, "Also, you can stand farther away, or sit down and raise your head Look at your tired neck."

Shi Luo glared at him, then retreated to the chair next to him and sat down. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "The third question, what is your relationship with the third young master of the Gong family?"

"Gong Zhuo——" Xi Changlin drew a long tone, his tone raised first and then lowered, with a smile in his voice, "What else could it be? Friends."

"A purely friendly friend?" Shi Luo pursed his lips, and it was obvious that he was hesitant to ask, and his heart was extremely entangled.

"Could it be that you hope that he and I are friends who have an affair?" Xi Changlin gave a "tsk", and before Shi Luo could react, he sighed meaningfully and closed his eyes lightly, as if he had been seen through The secret is generally helpless: "When did you practice your sharp eyes? You can see people accurately. There are indeed some ulterior secrets between me and him."

Hearing this, Shi Luo's eyes widened and he stood up abruptly, took a few steps back, turned over the two chairs next to him, and knocked them upside down together with the glass of lemonade that Xi Changlin put down.

The water poured out, drew an arc in the air, and ended on Xi Changlin's shoulders and front, staining a large area of ​​the shirt.The young man frowned slightly, and Shi Luo yelled in great reaction: "Fuck, I knew it!"

"Boss He is here." At the same time, the system announced, "He has entered Xiyuan."

Within a few seconds, the door of the lounge was pushed open vigorously, and a person came wearing a dark blue suit, with slightly damp hair on his shoulders, and the brooch pinned to the right lapel glowed coldly.He glanced at the situation in the room expressionlessly, raised his jaw, and said to Shi Luo in a cold voice: "Have you finished speaking? Go out when you are finished."
