Lu Xiumu's residence is a two-story stilted building. He and Xiaowen live on the first floor, and Chu Mengting and her assistant live on the second floor.The room maintains the "characteristics" of the village's defeat, and the sound insulation is not good. Anyone who makes a movement can be heard clearly by others.

At the beginning, Lu Xiumu was still a little cautious, but after the filming started, the gap between the genders was shattered under the constant camera "surveillance".

Jiang Bing's filming method is very interesting. At the beginning, he did not follow the content of the script, but first recorded the daily life of the Su family's siblings.This kind of short-lived trivial matter lasted only three to four minutes in the final product, but Jiang Bing took it for a week.

Seven 4K cameras are turned on around the clock, recording every move of Lu Xiumu and Chu Mengting without any blind spots.

And under this kind of "high pressure", Lu Xiumu also called Chu Mengting "sister", and the last barrier between them and the character disappeared without a sound.

Lu Xiumu gradually got used to being woken up by Chu Mengting's voice coming downstairs, and also got used to going around Chu Mengting, asking her what she was eating for lunch.Jiang Bing watched their changes and officially announced the "start".

The first scene is Lu Xiumu's audition clip.Compared with the previous time, this time when Lu Xiumu saw his sister slumped in a wheelchair, his eyes were reddened uncontrollably.

At this moment, he completely forgot what the focus of the scene was.

An accident caused his only relative to lose his legs. He would never hear his sister's footsteps in this home, and he would never be able to eat the meal cooked by his sister, and he would never hear it again in the days to come. My sister laughed heartlessly.

The little things that used to be insignificant have become extremely precious after they are lost.Inevitably, Xiao Su developed deep disgust and resentment towards that "brother-in-law" whom she had never met.

If my sister doesn't go to him...

If he can take the initiative to come to the village...

Such hypothetical thoughts came out one after another. Xiao Su Ming knew that "if" was the most useless word in the world, and also knew that in this accident, Qi Yuan, like him, was just a bystander, but He just couldn't help it.

He desperately needs an outlet.

It was also at this time that Lu Xiumu finally understood why Xiao Su didn't fall in love with Qi Yuan.

There have been thousands of gullies and gullies between them from the very beginning.

After this scene, Lu Xiumu and Chu Mengting completely entered the state of "entering the scene".Jiang Bing is very good at helping actors find their positions. In order to prevent them from going out on camera, he specially asked Lu Xiumu and Chu Mengting to change rooms.

The boundary between reality and falsehood blurred, and the change of the room gave Chu Mengting a real sense of "impaired mobility", and she never stepped on the short steps again.

The light in Lu Xiumu's eyes also gradually dimmed, and he would wake up unconsciously when he dreamed back at midnight, subconsciously reminding him not to fall asleep, and there is still a "patient" at home who needs to be taken care of.

He would sit up abruptly, linger in the dark for a long time before he regained his senses, and then sit back on the bed without saying a word.

Once Xiaowen woke up at night and happened to bump into his "abnormality".Xiaowen was frightened, and asked urgently: "Brother, what's wrong with you? What's wrong?"

Lu Xiumu was in a daze for a long time before slowly opening his mouth: "It's okay. I... just thought of him."

"Who?"

"My dad." Lu Xiumu hugged his knees, buried his face in them, and said in a muffled voice, "I haven't had a good night's sleep between the ages of 16 and 19. I'm afraid that his pheromones will burst out suddenly in the middle of the night..."

His voice was almost torn from his throat: "Now and then are too similar...I seem to never be able to avoid this nightmare."

Xiaowen didn't know how to comfort him, feeling distressed and anxious, so he could only "make trouble for no reason" with Director Jiang the next day, biting the bullet and "criticizing" the famous director for not being able to make movies.

As a result, Jiang Bing ignored him at all, making Xiaowen feel like a clown.

As a last resort, Xiaowen sent Gao Xin a message for help.When Gao Xin heard that Lu Xiumu's condition also collapsed, and he couldn't join the team due to work, he hurriedly chased Jiang Bing for "death serial calls".

The big director was annoyed by the trouble, so he gave Gao Xin a minute of his time in his busy schedule.

Gao Xin euphemistically said that Lu Xiumu had a bad experience before, and he had difficulties... However, before he finished speaking, Jiang Bing retorted: "Who hasn't said anything about difficulties these days? When will it be your turn for laymen like you?" How do I shoot?!"

After all, he turned off the phone angrily, and added another scene to Lu Xiumu.

Gao? Good intentions didn't help? Xin was also very angry. At any rate, the anger didn't burn all his reason, so he found another way to send Qiu Xingfeng a WeChat message.

Lu Xiumu knew nothing about this, and a few days later, he ushered in the climax of the "forced marriage".

Before the filming started, Jiang Bing specially analyzed the different states of the two people in this scene for Lu Xiumu and Chu Mengting.

"First of all, Xiao Su, right now he is fully focused on 'bringing his sister to live in the city', and even made all the preparations for it, so when he knew that he was going to marry for his sister, his anger dominated everything. What level of anger is specific, Xiu Mu can control it himself."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Chu Mengting again: "Sister Su's heart is relatively complicated. She doesn't have any big ambitions. For her, 'marrying a good family' is the most important thing in life. She has not yet Feelings of jealousy, thinking that entrusting Xiao Su to Qi Yuan is an expression of responsibility to his younger brother, in addition to showing despair after losing love."

The two expressed their understanding.

The first shot after shooting started was the scene of Xiao Su running home from a distance. In order to show a sense of oppression, Jiang Bing chose the shooting method of one shot to the end.

"Sister!" Xiao Su pushed open the door of the house, half-supporting her knees and gasping for breath: "The village chief said... I will marry into the Qi family for you, this...isn't it true?"

"..." Sister Su turned the wheelchair, slowly slid to the table, and poured a glass of water.She stared at the rim of the cup for a while, then said softly, "Why are you running so fast? Come and drink first."

"I, I'm not thirsty." Xiao Su walked up to her quickly, staring into her eyes, "You tell me they're talking nonsense, I won't marry a stranger."

"How could he be a stranger?" Sister Su didn't dare to look at him, "Qijia Village and Sujia Village have always supported each other, we are a family—"

Xiao Su didn't listen to her at all, and said loudly: "Say it! Say it quickly!"

However, Sister Su just pursed her lips tightly and didn't say a word.

The long silence gave Xiao Su a fatal blow. He threw the cup on the ground in a rage, his body trembling unconsciously: "Why?! I have already agreed with Uncle Yuan, and he is willing to take us with us next time we go to the city. Buy our land. I have prepared everything, why do you agree to such a thing?!"

Sister Su's facial muscles twitched for a moment, she closed her eyes and then opened them slowly, as if she had made up her mind in this short period of time."I don't want to leave the village," she said.

"I've told you several times! The level of medical treatment in the town is high, they can heal your leg!" Xiao Su couldn't understand at all, "What's the use of you sticking to this dilapidated village? You will live here for the rest of your life. What’s the point of living a life that doesn’t change in such a leaky house?!”

"Will you find meaning if you live in the city?" Sister Su asked back.

"certainly--"

"No!" Sister Su suddenly interrupted him loudly, "You don't know anything at all. How do you know what it's like if you've never been to a town? It's just a few exaggerated stories told by others, and you read it from a book. Seeing a few pictures on the Internet, I just wishful thinking that everything in the city is good!"

Xiao Su was stunned.

"Let me tell you, people in the city are very indifferent, and everything there needs money." Sister Su punctured her brother's long-standing fantasies almost cruelly, "You just know a few more words, no one will hire you as a Mr. Teacher, no one cares whether you can live or not! You are nothing there, and it is impossible for me to heal my leg!"

"Because you have no money! You can't afford me! Even if it can be cured, we can't afford the high cost of treatment!"

The hysterical persecution made Xiao Su completely lose her voice. It was the first time he knew that his gentle sister could be so "hateful", and it was the first time he saw clearly that his only relative looked down on his dream from the bottom of his heart.

His lips trembled, and he said almost pleadingly: "Then... let me see it. If I have never seen it, I will never give up."

Xiao Su squatted down and held her sister's hand tightly: "You, I won't force you if you don't want to go, but don't force me either...let me go, I don't want to marry Qi Yuan."

Sister Su turned her head and pulled her hand out forcefully.In an instant, Xiao Su's heart also sank to the bottom.

"Sister!" Xiao Su's voice was tinged with despair, "Don't! I don't like Qi Yuan! There has never been a precedent of a 'male wife'...don't!"

He broke down and raised his hands to cover his face: "Why on earth, why did such absurd things happen to me?"

"Because you are a member of the Su family village." Sister Su said, "And because our family is the most suitable family for marriage, and the God of Marriage said that our birthday horoscope is very compatible with the Qi family."

"Fart!" Xiao Su finally couldn't hold back, and yelled, "Fuck God! There is no such thing as nonsense in the world—"

There was a "pop", blocking all Xiaosu's words in her throat.

Sister Su slapped him with all her strength: "Shut up!"

She looked like a brainwashed fool at this time, her eyes seemed to be shining: "It is the God of Marriage who blesses the village with good weather. We are obliged to dedicate everything. This is our highest honor!"

Xiao Su lowered her head and was silent for a long time before laughing in a low voice: "You are crazy, you are all crazy..."

"I didn't, but you were wrong." Sister Su raised his face, gently stroked the red and swollen area, "Be good, don't make trouble anymore. Qi Yuan is a good man, he will take good care of you."

"But I don't want anyone's care at all." Xiao Su's eyes were red, "I don't want to!"

Even after going through a fierce quarrel, Xiao Su's thoughts did not show any sign of loosening from the beginning to the end.This realization made Sister Su panic. She was silent for two seconds, and then said, "It's for me."

Xiao Su was stunned for a moment: "What... what?"

"I like him." Sister Su's voice was soft, but extremely cruel and cold, "I don't want to withdraw from his life. If you marry him, I will be his sister—"

She paused, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Does that mean that I just changed my identity to stay by his side?"

Very distorted thoughts, but it is also the only way for Sister Su to "realize" love.

For Xiao Su, this is like a sharp knife with grains of salt, stabbing into his heart again and again, causing repeated pains, and then the wound expands and becomes bigger and bigger under the stimulation of salt grains, finally turning into a piece of festering Endless flesh and blood.

Xiao Su and Sister Su both understand, only for this reason, he can't refuse——

Because this is the hope of her sister in despair, Xiao Su couldn't bear it, and she couldn't bear to snuff out the last glimmer of light.

"Cut!" Jiang Bing yelled, "Not bad! You've worked hard today, let's rest!"

The crowd cheered.

Xiaowen hurried forward and put on Lu Xiumu's military coat. Just as Lu Xiumu was about to thank him, Chu Mengting hugged him.

She had been stuck in the play for too long, with various emotions entangled together, and with the noise around her, she collapsed.

Chu Mengting grabbed Lu Xiumu's sleeve tightly, crying uncontrollably: "Yes... I'm sorry! I don't want to force you, I'm sorry!"

Lu Xiumu can understand her feelings too well, this scene is a cruel torture for them.

He gently patted Chu Mengting on the back, and said for her, "I know...sister, I don't blame you—"

In the end, he himself choked up.

Seeing this, Jiang Bing strode forward, grabbed Lu Xiumu and walked out: "Adjust your state! You should separate for a while, don't follow the character's thinking."

Chu Mengting seemed to be crazy, and wanted to chase them out together, but was hugged tightly by Zhao Yang.

"Ah—" she cried hoarsely, "I'm sorry! I was wrong, I was wrong—"

There was an instant panic in the house.

Jiang Bing hurriedly left a sentence "Don't go in", and turned back to the house.

Lu Xiumu nodded in a daze, and stared into the distance with dull eyes.After a while, he heard Jiang Bing say to Chu Mengting: "It's just a play. You are Chu Mengting, not Sister Su, and you didn't force Xiu Mu to do something he didn't want. Take a few deep breaths and take it easy."

Then came the voices of Zhao Yang and other staff members, repeating "it's just a play" without exception.These three words were layered on top of each other, passed from inside to outside, and circled around Lu Xiumu.

Lu Xiumu inexplicably felt that all this was not true, and it was obviously true but it was tinged with falsehood.

The logic also became chaotic. He even believed that there was a parallel world in this world where the tragedy of the Su family siblings was unfolding.

At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated.

Lu Xiumu mechanically turned on the screen, and then his confused thoughts ended on the words "Big Movie King".

[Big Movie King]: Teacher Lu, come to the entrance of the village.

[Big Movie King]: Waiting for you, see you soon.

Chapter 28 Out of bounds Don't worry about where the roasted sweet potatoes go...it's a prop for the next chapter (cover your face)

Lu Xiumu's gaze fell on "See you or leave" and was silent for a while.

[Director Jiang won't let us meet in private...] He raised his hand to type these words, then looked back into the room, and then deleted them word by word.Then he turned off the screen and strode towards the entrance of the village.

The sky was getting dark, and there were not enough lights in the village. Lu Xiumu was stumbling, but his pace was getting faster and faster.

He wanted to meet Qiu Xingfeng, or he wanted to meet some people who were only closely related to Lu Xiumu.Jiang Bing once reminded them that this drama was difficult. At that time, Lu Xiumu only took this word to heart, and did not understand what it represented.

It is only now that I have a deep understanding-Jiang Bing asked them to enter the film quickly and achieve immediate results in a short period of time, and after the camera was turned off, he repeatedly emphasized that "The Wedding Banquet" is just a fictional story.

"Entering the drama but not believing in the drama" is a contradictory concept. Everyone is pulling their own nerves and finding a balance.At the same time, Lu Xiumu also clearly realized that this state cannot be maintained for a long time.

Sooner or later, he will be like Chu Mengting, unable to distinguish between self and role, and even the emotional impact that erupts is stronger than hers.

Originally, Lu Xiumu had already made preparations, he just had to wait quietly until that day came, like a belated trial.The Su family is an allusion to his past life, Sister Su is his father who has been ill for a long time, and Xiao Su's final choice is exactly the same as his. They all "abandoned" their families with their own hands.

So Lu Xiumu already knew the result subconsciously, and he was bound to collapse.

This is a reasonable prediction under the established trajectory.

But at this moment, he suddenly wanted to resist. The matter hadn't come to an end. Qiu Xingfeng was still here, and there was still someone who could help him.

However, his beating heart slowly sank when he saw Qiu Xingfeng.

Qiu Xingfeng leaned against the earthen wall, his whole body shrouded in streetlights.Fine dust floated up and down in the dim light, making him seem less real.

Compared with the last time we met, the lines of his cheeks were obviously sunken, and the brows were a little more tired.

But these are not Lu Xiumu's focus, he is sure that Qiu Xingfeng's eyes have also changed.Originally, there was always a hint of rebelliousness in those deep eyes, but now there was not even a trace of it, and instead it was replaced by an indescribable gentleness.

But in less than ten days, Lu Xiumu dared not admit it.He couldn't tell whether the person in front of him was Qiu Xingfeng or Qi Yuan.

Lu Xiumu stopped hesitantly, moved his lips, but finally did not call out the phrase "Teacher Qiu".

On the contrary, Qiu Xingfeng spoke first, his voice was a little hoarse: "Come here, why are you standing so far away?"

Lu Xiumu rubbed his toes against the ground, but did not move.

Qiu Xingfeng didn't miss his small movements, raised his eyebrows, and leaned over: "Do you want to hide from me again?"

The familiar "questioning" made Lu Xiumu find a sense of steadfastness, and he was slightly relieved: "I didn't hide."

He didn't want to admit that Qiu Xingfeng had partially "fused" with Qi Yuan, and he lied to himself that he was only affected by the light just now, and his vision was wrong.He dragged his voice and retorted in a low voice: "What am I hiding from you for?"

"Who knows." Qiu Xingfeng laughed softly, "Maybe our Teacher Lu saw that I was too handsome and couldn't hold back, so he wanted to do something unscrupulous to me. In order not to spoil the relationship between us A pure relationship deliberately avoids me."

When he said this, he didn't feel any burden at all, as if he didn't know how to write the word "shy" by nature, and even the rising final sound revealed the meaning of "stinky and shameless".

Now, Lu Xiumu was completely relieved.No matter how the character design changes, the core hidden inside is the actor Qiu who "opens the screen" whenever he finds an opportunity.

"Yes, yes." Lu Xiumu joked, "It's not a day or two for me to covet Teacher Qiu's beauty."

Qiu Xingfeng got off the donkey smoothly: "Then you take action quickly, I will never resist."

"..." Lu Xiumu felt that he would never win against him, so he took the initiative to raise the white flag, "What's the matter with calling me out?"

Qiu Xingfeng leaned close to his ear mysteriously: "Show you my big baby."

Lu Xiumu was stunned for a moment, not quite sure if this was a new way of showing off.After a pause for a few seconds, he reminded: "It's not appropriate for us to come here in the middle of the night to speak yellow accents—"

At the same time, Qiu Xingfeng took out a piece of steaming roasted sweet potato from his coat pocket.

Lu Xiumu: "..."

Qiu Xingfeng: "..."

The two looked at each other in silence, Qiu Xingfeng was the first to react, and the arc of his lips could not be suppressed: "Are you planning to carry out the character design that covets my beauty to the end? Tsk, you said you had this idea, I— —”

Lu Xiumu covered his mouth: "I'm not pure, but you can't deny that your words are ambiguous."

Qiu Xingfeng raised his eyebrows in noncommittal.

Lu Xiumu scolded himself for being out of his mind, while letting go of Qiu Xingfeng.Unexpectedly, Qiu Xingfeng grabbed his wrist as soon as his fingers slipped down.

His thumb stuck on Lu Xiumu's ulna and brought it under the tip of his nose.

The emotion in Qiu Xingfeng's eyes became a little more serious: "The smell on your hands..."

Lu Xiumu was at a loss, and imitating the other party, raised his other hand and sniffed: "It should be my pheromone, I haven't replenished the blocker for too long."

After finishing speaking, he wanted to pull his hand back: "Are you a dog's nose? You can smell it so lightly."

However, Qiu Xingfeng didn't let go of him, he lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, and the strength in his hand also increased unconsciously.

It was the first time that Lu Xiumu felt such a straightforward and powerful sense of oppression from Qiu Xingfeng, and Alpha's nature was fully revealed.

Dangerous and aggressive, like a beast in hunting mode.

Lu Xiumu tried his best to suppress the Omega's innate desire to "run away", and repeatedly warned himself that the opponent was Qiu Xingfeng and would not hurt him.

He no longer "violated" Qiu Xingfeng's thoughts, took the initiative to relieve the strength on his elbows, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Qiu Xingfeng did not answer.

Lu Xiumu thought for a few seconds, and deliberately exaggerated hissed: "Teacher Qiu, it hurts."

After hearing this sentence, Qiu Xingfeng finally came back to his senses, he quickly let go of Lu Xiumu's hand, and said, "Sorry. It wasn't intentional."

"It's okay." Lu Xiumu turned his wrist, "But what's wrong with you? Such weak pheromone will not affect Alpha."

Qiu Xingfeng's eyes fell on his drooping fingers, and he frowned slightly, as if he was thinking or struggling.After a while, he said: "Your pheromone gives me a very familiar feeling. I had this idea when I first saw you, but the smell is too weak, I can't be sure."

He paused: "It's very similar to that of a friend of mine."

Lu Xiumu looked up at him.

Qiu Xingfeng thought he had misunderstood something, and explained: "Ordinary friends."

Lu Xiumu didn't think about that at all, and said, "Is that so...my pheromone is a mixed fragrance, which is quite rare."

"But it's really similar." Qiu Xingfeng said and took a step forward, his eyes fixed on the back of his neck, "May I be sure?"

Sensing his intention, Lu Xiumu pressed down on his collar.Qiu Xingfeng lowered his head and brought the tip of his nose close to his glands.

Probably because the words were too natural, coupled with the absolute trust in each other, they didn't realize that there was something wrong with this behavior for a while.

Qiu Xingfeng was half a head taller than the other party, and Lu Xiumu was dressed heavily, so he had to rest his head on his neck.The slightly short hair ends with a bit of hardness, which made Lu Xiumu's neck skin numb and itchy.

Lu Xiumu dodged uncontrollably, and turned his eyes sideways: "I'm wearing a barrier sticker, can't you smell it?"

Qiu Xingfeng gave a muffled "Yes", and rolled up a corner of the sticker with his fingertips.

The cold touch made Lu Xiumu tremble, and he regained some sanity.Only then did he realize that they were in an extremely ambiguous position and their behavior was not so appropriate.

"Wait a moment--"

At the same time, Qiu Xingfeng also let go.For a moment just now, he really wanted to tear off the barrier sticker, but his instinct gave him a danger signal.

Maybe at first he just wanted to confirm Lu Xiumu's pheromones, but when the glands were exposed to his eyes without reservation, the possessiveness and impulsiveness in his bones gradually gained the upper hand.

Qiu Xingfeng bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, and he restrained himself from leaving the danger zone.Lu Xiumu held the back of his neck with his backhand, his eyes wandered, and then at a certain moment, he met Shangqiu Xingfeng's eyes.

The gazes of the two people, one high and one low, meet in the air.

"Hmm..." Lu Xiumu felt the need to say something to ease the embarrassment, "Actually, you don't need to smell... What does your friend's pheromone smell like?"

Qiu Xingfeng said: "It smells woody."

His Adam's apple slowly rolled twice, and because the two were too close, Lu Xiumu could even clearly see the vibration frequency of his throat.

Lu Xiumu rolled his Adam's apple almost subconsciously.

Qiu Xingfeng's eyes changed in an instant, becoming more serious, moving down inch by inch, and finally stopped on Lu Xiumu's lips.

If the eyes were real, Lu Xiumu's cheeks would have the temperature that belonged to Qiu Xingfeng.

He wants to kiss him.

After catching this signal, Lu Xiumu's mind went blank.He clearly felt Qiu Xingfeng's burning and uncontrollable desire, and he also clearly knew that his situation was not safe.

But where is the insecurity?

Lu Xiumu couldn't figure it out, and didn't really want to move.He blinked lightly, indulged the vague expectation in his mind, and whispered, "Qiu Xingfeng."

Qiu Xingfeng's breathing was rough and heavy: "Why don't you call me 'Teacher Qiu'?"

Lu Xiumu didn't give an answer, because he couldn't explain the reason himself, as if these three words were more suitable to appear in this scene than "Teacher Qiu".

At this time, the street lights above the two of them flickered twice, and then went dark without warning.

The dark environment infinitely magnified the ambiguous factors floating around, Qiu Xingfeng's movements were even faster than his brain, his palm touched Lu Xiumu's shoulder, and his lips quickly lowered.

Just a few centimeters away from satisfying the swell of desire in my heart, the damned streetlight turned on again with a "snap".

Then an old man came out of a room not far away, cursed at the street lamp, and then entered the room shaking his legs: "It's nothing serious, it's an old problem!"

His words seemed to be explaining to other people in the room, but they completely woke up the two people outside.

Lu Xiumu took several steps back, and finally moved his eyes away from Qiu Xingfeng.Qiu Xingfeng also slowly withdrew his hand, curling his fingers a few times in the process of drooping.

"My pheromone is also woody fragrance." Lu Xiumu said suddenly.

Qiu Xingfeng paused, tacitly did not pierce the abnormal intimacy: "What a coincidence."

He sighed calmly, and said to himself, wait for a while... Jiang Bing made repeated orders not to allow them to meet privately, because he was afraid that the relationship between the two outside the film would affect Lu Xiumu's filming state.

At least to ensure that "The Wedding Banquet" can be finished on time.

The more Qiu Xingfeng thought about it, the more he felt great. Which bastard made rumors that he was not professional?
