Can I live with you [entertainment circle]

Before that, in order to talk to Tao Shiyan, Cheng Xi once said that his hands hurt.

In fact, his hands are a little sour, and he has signed more than 2000 names.But it's not so sour that I can't even write words.

Now that Tao Shiyan said that, he was a little embarrassed.If he signed it, it would prove that what he said to Tao Shiyan just now was false, and if he didn't sign it, he would feel sorry for Brother Lu.

Fortunately, Lu Xingzhi came to his senses at this time, he picked up the album, "Xiaoxi, are you on the phone?"

"No."

Cheng Xi pressed the phone to his chest, somehow he didn't want others to see Tao Shiyan, "I'm videoing with my friend."

"Sorry to bother you."

"It's okay," Cheng Xi said, "Brother Lu, you go to the lounge to rest for a while, I'll find you here after I'm done, is that okay?"

Of course Lu Xingzhi agreed.

Cheng Xi stopped a staff member casually, and asked him to take Brother Lu to the lounge.

When the two walked away, Cheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the phone again.

Fortunately, the man is still there, but after smoking the cigarette, he folded his arms around his chest with a calm expression, no emotion visible on his face.

Cheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that because of the other party's bad temper, he would directly hang up the video.

Cheng Xi tried to explain: "That...Brother Lu came from behind, so he couldn't see clearly what we were doing in the video."

Tao Shiyan: "Yes."

Cheng Xi couldn't figure out the meaning of "um", so he continued to explain: "I didn't know he would come here beforehand."

Tao Shiyan: "Okay."

Although the man usually speaks like this, jumping out one or two words, Cheng Xi vaguely feels that he is not happy.

... Damn, there are such difficult people in the world!

Cheng Xi was a little bald, thinking that the makeup artist and Brother Lu were waiting for him, and discussed: "The venue rental period is up in a while, I will remove the makeup first, and I will send you a video at night, okay?"

"Okay," the other party agreed happily, "What time?"

Faing is so consummated, Zhao Xiaotao has already made plans to have a party.Tomorrow is a working day, everyone has to go to work, so we won't get together too late. It is estimated that it will end at nine or ten o'clock in the evening.

Originally, he promised to pick up Brother Lu, but it turned out that Brother Lu not only came back by himself, but also came to see him specially. He should invite Brother Lu to have a meal and catch up with each other. It's too much.

Cheng Xi bit the bullet and replied: "One o'clock in the middle of the night...you should be asleep."

Do you want to stay out with "important people" until midnight?

Tao Shiyan resolutely refused: "No."

Cheng Xi: "Then earlier, 12:30?"

Tao Shiyan stopped talking.

It's really "a little bit" early.

In fact, Cheng Xi also thinks his "a little bit" is a bit too much. If he really can't find a good way, he can only find time to post a video.

From the end of the celebration banquet to having dinner with Brother Lu, there should be some free time. He thought about it: "Around ten o'clock, this time it's okay."

There was a "hmm" on the phone, "Deal."

After battling wits and courage, he managed to fool the past, hung up the video, and Cheng Xi let out a long sigh of relief.It wasn't until he finished cleaning up the scene and got on the car going to the restaurant that he realized what was wrong——

Does he seem to have done nothing wrong? !

Sending the wrong message won't affect Tao Shiyan; halfway through the video chat, someone comes looking for him, isn't it normal to hang up!

There's no need for him to be afraid of someone surnamed Tao!

I'm mad, I'm mad, I'm mad!

Cheng Xi angrily pulled up the collar of the sweater, buried half of his face in the collar, and retracted his hands into the sleeves, leaving only a pair of black eyes outside.

Zhao Xiaotao clicked his tongue when he saw it: "Cheng'er, are you autistic again?"

Cheng Xi gave him a wonderful word "roll".

When Lu Xingzhi got off the plane, he hurried to the gymnasium, and he didn't have time to deal with his luggage.While Cheng Xi and his colleagues were out for dinner, he went home to deliver things and chose a low-key car from the garage.

The end of the dinner was about the same as expected, Cheng Xi came out of the restaurant at 09:30, Lu Xingzhi's car had arrived for a while, and was waiting for him by the side of the road.

"Brother Lu," Cheng Xi said ashamedly as he sat in the co-pilot, "You have been tortured by the plane for more than ten hours, and you have to drive. I'm so sorry."

"It doesn't matter. Drinking is inevitable at a dinner party. I understand the wine table culture."

Lu Xingzhi joked, "I'm glad you didn't drink too much. I'm used to driving on the right side now. Just watch me later."

In fact, Cheng Xi didn't drink much because of the upcoming business, and only took a few symbolic sips of champagne.And he has a shadow on booze now.

The last time he was drunk, he was seduced by a dog and called his brother and acted like a baby. He couldn't recall the scene, and it was easy to think of violating the criminal law.

Anyway, he decided not to get drunk in the future, and if he was drunk, he would never let Tao find out.

Cheng Xi responded, and Lu Xingzhi turned his head to look at him for a few seconds, "You've grown taller and thinner...your ears are so red, I should turn down the air conditioner."

"...No need," Cheng Xi's voice was muffled, "I'll just take off my coat."

Lu Xingzhi smiled: "I remember you had a cold body when you were young, but now you seem to be more prone to heat. When I saw you in the afternoon, your ears were also red."

"...people are subject to change, they can't be like that forever," Cheng Xi hurriedly changed the subject, "I found a Japanese restaurant with a good environment and left."

Under Cheng Xi's urging, Lu Xingzhi started the car.After driving for about 5 minutes, Cheng Xi took a deep breath, "Brother Lu, I'll adjust the navigation for you, and then make a video call."

"Okay, you are busy with your work."

Tao Shiyan's avatar was floating above, after helping Lu Xingzhi navigate, Cheng Xi sent a video invitation.

WeChat has a feature that the other party's avatar will be displayed on the interface waiting to be connected.Lu Xingzhi inadvertently caught a glimpse, and thought Cheng Xi's phone had a black screen, and then realized that the other person's profile picture was pure black.

As for this profile picture, he had already seen it once in the afternoon, when Xiao Xi had a video chat with him.

Lu Xingzhi is not a gossip character, so he couldn't help being curious at this moment: "Do you have to report to him every day, is he your manager?"

report?

Cheng Xi choked, and was about to explain when a familiar voice came from the earphone: "Hello."

"It's me." Cheng Xi's ears went numb.

"Well, I can tell," Tao Shiyan asked, "Are you on your way home?"

Thinking of Lu Xingzhi's "report", Cheng Xi couldn't help snorting, "You don't care where I am...I don't know what you did, why should I report to you."

The child's tone was vigorous, but his voice was very low. It didn't seem like he was angry, but rather resentful.

Tao Shiyan couldn't help chuckling.

"I met Director Lin at the teahouse this morning to discuss the script. I have been in the studio from afternoon to night. Now I just came out of the studio and I am going home."

After a pause, Tao Shiyan added, "If you want to know what I ate, I can ask the nutritionist to send you the recipe. If you want to know my itinerary, Jin Kun has a notice, I'll ask him to give it to you Send a report."

"..."

Whoever cares about reporting has nothing to do with him.

Cheng Xi rubbed his ears: "I'm on my way to eat supper."

"Supper?" Tao Shiyan frowned, "Yourself."

"And Brother Lu, you should have met this afternoon."

Brother Lu...as expected, he went to have a heart-to-heart talk with a "very important person" in the middle of the night.

Tao Shiyan's face sank, and his tone was normal: "Be careful not to be photographed."

"No, I have my measure."

"That's enough, you go."

"Okay," Cheng Xi heaved a sigh of relief, "bye."

Tao Shiyan didn't hang up the phone, "Let's have something less, what's your name?"

Lu Xingzhi was right next to him, and Cheng Xi didn't want to argue with Tao, "Bye bye, Brother Yan."

"No, not this."

"...bye, brother."

Tao Shiyan was finally satisfied: "Well, it's dead."

Since the last time he called "Brother" dozens of times on the balcony, Cheng Xi's face has undergone an ultimate evolution, and he doesn't feel too embarrassed.

Lu Xingzhi glanced at him with an inexplicable expression.

The Japanese food restaurant Cheng Xi chose was in the development zone. He knew the owner and could enter the restaurant through the back door, so it was really not photographed.

They briefly chatted about their current situation, Cheng Xi's life is very monotonous, practice, work, practice, work, singing and dancing are full of his life.

Lu Xingzhi is a top student in the traditional sense, and his tutor is very satisfied with his studies. This time he was able to return to China to practice with a well-known director, which is the result of the joint promotion of the tutor and the Lu family.

During the dinner, Lu Xingzhi said that he and the director of the group were surnamed Lin.

The person surnamed Tao seems to have met a director Lin. It seems that there is a shortcut to success - change his surname to "Lin".

The time to go home was a little earlier than expected. After washing up, Cheng Xi unexpectedly fell asleep at one o'clock in the morning.

And it was a dream, not a nightmare.

He dreamed of meeting his little brother for the first time after a long absence.

At that time, he had just been sold into the mountains, and the people who bought him treated him well, but they always asked him to call him mom and dad.He refused to call, and used the excuse of going out to play, and escaped twice while they were not paying attention.

As a result, he was naturally arrested.

The old man in the village said: "Children in the city just have a lot of ideas. They should be beaten a few times and locked up for a while. It's fine until they dare not run away."

Hearing what the old man said, Cheng Xi was thrown into a small black room.

Because she didn't have a mother, Aunt Yuan loved him dearly and took good care of him. She was so pampered that a red mark would appear on the skin when her fingernails were lightly scratched.Parts of Lego bricks accidentally fell on the bed, and he could feel them through three layers of bedding.

The pampered young master couldn't stand the harsh environment of the small black house. Since then, his body has always been bitten by mosquitoes, and his waist and buttocks are often bruised and purple by the hard bed.The most important thing is that there is no one to accompany him, and the only channel to communicate with the outside world is a window the size of a bowl on the wall.

On sunny days, he sat under the window to bask in the sun; on rainy days, he also sat under the window, feeling the coldness of the rain on his body.

— the feeling that could make him confirm that he was still alive.

The adults in the village had told the children to ignore him, so he couldn't say a word for a long time.Until one day, he saw a boy who was much older and taller than him passing by the window.

The boy was dressed very cleanly, his back was straight when he walked, and he could even smell the fresh scent of soap when the wind blew.Children at that age have no concept of beauty and ugliness, but he clearly knows that teenagers are good-looking.

So when the boy walked forward without dodging and seeing that he was about to hit a tree, he couldn't help reminding: "There is a tree ahead, and it will hurt your head if you hit it."

The boy's back stiffened and he pretended not to hear what he said.

The result is naturally "Duang~"

The second time the boy remembered the location of the tree, but it had rained the night before, and there were puddles every few steps.

Cheng Xi reminded: "Step bigger, jump!"

The boy hesitated for a moment, but still didn't listen to his words, only heard "哗啦——", and the boy's shoes were soaked immediately.

The third time was a sunny day, the sky was cloudless, the boy paused for a moment in front of his window, and asked hesitantly, "Can I continue walking?"

Cheng Xi had just been beaten, and his voice was hoarse: "I don't care if you want to continue or not."

The boy was stunned for a few seconds, then turned around, and tentatively walked in his direction.Walking to the window, Cheng Xi found that the boy's eyes were covered with a thick layer of gauze.

No wonder he bumped into trees and stepped on puddles, because he couldn't see it.

After groping the wall for a long time, the boy finally found the small window and whispered, "Are you here?"

Cheng Xi's nasal voice was thick: "Not here."

"I heard."

"I said I'm not here," Cheng Xi pursed his lips, "I'm not here, I'm not here, I'm not here, I don't want to be here!"

Surprised by his fierce attitude, the boy was silent for a few minutes before making the next move.

He put his hand through the window, the white shirt contrasting ridiculously against the dark walls.He first touched Cheng Xi's small hand and the crumpled pinwheel in his hand.

"what's your name?"

Cheng Xi didn't speak.

"Then I'll call you Little Windmill."

Cheng Xi still didn't speak.

The boy's hand continued to move up, and finally stopped on the soft and tender cheek.He pulled his cuffs and gently wiped away the remaining tears on Cheng Xi's face.

The scent of soap was mixed with a scent that came from nowhere, from his white shirt to the tip of Cheng Xi's nose, engraved in the deepest part of his memory.

"Don't cry," the boy said in a low voice, "I will come to see you every day, okay... little windmill."
