dark fire

The next day's recording time was earlier, Ling Zhuo got up at seven, and when he was going to go to the downstairs restaurant for breakfast, he ran into Lu Chixie in the corridor at the door.

Lu Chixie seemed to be waiting for him specially, leaning against the door and smoking, when he saw Ling Zhuo come out and wipe out the cigarette butt on the ashtray beside him.

"Ms. Ling, didn't you sleep well last night? Why are there dark circles under your eyes?" Lu Chixie raised his chin.

Ling Zhuo shook his head, not really wanting to talk to him.

Lu Chixie: "Go to have breakfast? Let's go together."

Ling Zhuo couldn't say no, the restaurant was on the second floor of the hotel, they came early, and the other guests hadn't come down yet.

Zhong Yiran sent a message saying that he just got up, and he will go down immediately when the other people are together.

Ling Zhuo put away his phone and went to get food first.

The breakfast is a buffet style. He just took a few things and sat down. After half a minute, Lu Chi came over, sat across from him, and asked him, "You only eat this in the morning? You have to eat it all day today. Recording, are you afraid of being hungry for a while?"

Ling Zhuo: "I don't have any appetite in the morning."

Lu Chixie looked at him: "Teacher Ling is not in a good mood?"

Ling Zhuo: "...No."

Lu Chixie smiled: "If there is, there is nothing to admit. Did your manager come yesterday? I seem to have seen it."

Ling Zhuo gave a vague "hmm" and took a sip of orange juice.

"Did you quarrel with your manager? Or did you quarrel with your teammates?" Lu Chixie continued to ask with a smile.

Ling Zhuo frowned impatiently: "Are you annoying?"

Lu Chixie: "Teacher Ling is becoming more and more rude to me."

Ling Zhuo shut his mouth, didn't want to talk to him anymore, and lowered his head to eat.

Lu Chixie also slowly picked up the knife and fork: "Did your manager tell you about the people from T&G contacting her?"

Ling Zhuo was stunned: "How do you know?"

Lu Chixie said calmly: "The marketing director of T&G and my mother are best friends. They want to find a new fragrance spokesperson. I asked my mother to recommend you to them."

Ling Zhuo was stunned.

His expression inexplicably pleased Lu Chixie, and Lu Chixie laughed again: "So surprised?"

Ling Zhuo came back to his senses: "Why did Mr. Lu do this..."

"Why do you say?" Lu Chixie interrupted him, "Don't worry, my mother just mentioned in passing that the brand dealers can see you because your image fits their positioning, so you don't have to think too much."

Ling Zhuo didn't know what to say, he didn't want to owe Lu Chixie favors, but should he go and tell Zhang Jing whether to accept this endorsement?That's impossible, Zhang Jing will definitely not agree, so he can only owe this time.

After a while, Ling Zhuo moved his lips and said, "Thank you."

Lu Chixie: "You're welcome."

Remind him again: "If you cooperate happily, you may be able to promote the brand spokesperson in the future, which will greatly benefit your commercial value. Teacher Ling, take good care of it."

Ling Zhuo hesitated and asked him, "Why didn't you answer it yourself?"

Lu Chixie laughed and said, "Am I short of this endorsement?"

Ling Zhuo was completely speechless.

After a while, another question came to mind: "You said...your mother? Does your mother know me?"

Lu Chixie raised his eyebrows: "Curious?"

Ling Zhuo looked at him.

Lu Chixie nodded: "Tell her about it."

"say what?"

Lu Chixie: "Say I'm chasing you."

Ling Zhuo was silent.

Qi Liangli's loud voice sounded from behind: "Brother Zhuo!"

Ling Zhuo turned around, Zhong Yiran and the others came over, Qi Liangli glanced at Lu Chixie, and asked Ling Zhuo, "Why did you come down so early?"

Ling Zhuo: "It's getting late, the recording is about to start, so hurry up and eat."

Several people took food and came over to sit down one after another. With Lu Chixie around, they didn't talk about what happened yesterday, which was embarrassing to say the least.

Seeing that Ling Zhuo was about to finish eating, Lu Chixie got up again and went to get a glass of milk, and put it in front of him: "Have a glass of milk."

Ling Zhuo frowned: "Thanks, I won't drink this."

Lu Chixie: "Allergy?"

Ling Zhuo: "Not allergic."

Lu Chixie: "Then drink it."

Zhong Yiran said, "Ling Zhuo doesn't like to drink milk, he never does."

Lu Chixie ignored him, just looked at Ling Zhuo, Ling Zhuo said helplessly: "Mr. Lu, are you being too lenient?"

Lu Chixie: "If you don't drink this, then eat something else. You eat too little in the morning, and you will definitely be hungry in a while."

Ling Zhuo still wanted to refuse, Zhong Yiran also turned his head and asked him: "You should eat something, I'll help you get what you want."

Ling Zhuo: "... red bean porridge."

Lu Chixie turned cold, and stood looking at him for a moment, Ling Zhuo avoided his eyes uncomfortably, the man finally turned around and left, he was relieved.

A few people who hadn't spoken a moment ago asked about Ling Zhuo, even Qi Liangli, who was the most grinning, could see it: "Brother Zhuo, that prince is really trying to trick you?"

Ling Zhuo shook his head, really didn't want to talk about this.

After breakfast, several people went upstairs together, and finally Zhong Yiran grabbed Ling Zhuo and said a few words to him alone, mentioning what happened yesterday, Ling Zhuo interrupted him first: "Forget about the captain, it's already like this, it's nothing It's okay, you don't have to explain it all the time, I know it has nothing to do with you."

Zhong Yiran said helplessly: "They all have their own ideas, Brother Liu still wants to fight for it."

Ling Zhuo: "I know, I understand, if you can fight for it, let's fight for it, it's a good opportunity, don't waste it."

Zhong Yiran looked at him: "Sorry."

Ling Zhuo smiled: "It's really okay, don't talk about this anymore."

The recording in the morning starts at 08:30, and everyone draws the role that they will play today.

First, a permanent resident raised a question: "We only have two girls in total, and you six female characters, isn't it necessary for someone to dress up as a woman?"

The director smiled and replied: "Whoever is drawn to play whoever, it is also possible for a woman to disguise herself as a man."

Everyone was speechless.

So they took turns drawing lots again, Qi Liangli was the first to go up, and when he got a character card with the words "Princess Maid" written on it, he let out a wail.

Everyone laughed and made fun of him one after another. Ling Zhuo secretly prayed that he would be lucky today, watching other people go up to draw cards one by one.

But their group probably didn’t read the almanac when they went out today. Except for Zhong Yiran, who is the magistrate, the rest of the people drew female characters. Deng Lanluo was the princess, Zhang Xun was the matchmaker, and it was Ling Zhuo’s turn. Picking up a card and flipping it over, there are two large characters of "Prince Lord" on it.

Ling Zhuo: "..."

Being laughed at collectively by others is a natural protagonist's life, Ling Zhuo had no choice but to return to the team with his own character card.

When it was Lu Chixie's turn to draw, a permanent resident asked casually which character he wanted to draw, and Lu Chixie said, "Poor scholar."

Everyone laughed, Ling Zhuo was embarrassed for a while, and had to cooperate to maintain a smiling face in front of the camera.However, Lu Chixie didn't get what he wanted, he got a guard from the palace, Lu Chixie was not disappointed, he took the card and went back to the team.

The male protagonist "Poor Scholar" card was drawn out second to last. He was a female guest on the team with Zhong Yiran and the others yesterday. The girl was quite happy: "Yes."

Ling Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, it was better if she was a girl.

Afterwards, everyone went to do makeup and hair. The costume makeup and hair for variety shows don't need to be done too carefully, it can be done in half an hour.

Ling Zhuo tugged at the red dress on his body. In the mirror, he was wearing pink hairpin flowers, black eyebrows and red lips, and pink peach blossoms on his forehead. He was a little blind.

Several other people in the group also put on their makeup, surrounded Ling Zhuo as if they were looking at rare animals, and then roared with laughter.

Ling Zhuo blushed: "Why are you all laughing at me? Don't you also wear women's clothes?"

"No, no, no," Zhang Xun waved his hand, "Only your women's clothes are the most serious. Don't you think we all dress like we're playing?"

Indeed, none of their headgear or clothes fit well, and it looked funny when they wore them. Only the "female" protagonist Ling Zhuo was well-dressed.

Ling Zhuo punched him with a smile, Zhong Yiran smiled: "It's pretty, don't be nervous."

Ling Zhuo blushed even more.

When they walked out of the dressing room, other people outside had already changed their makeup, and a resident guest whistled: "Xiao Ling looks really good."

Ling Zhuo was very embarrassed, and met Lu Chixie's eyes in a blink of an eye. This person has never smiled in front of the camera since before, and it is the same now. The discomfort of being regarded as adulterous came up again, and he quickly turned his eyes away.

The cosplay recording started, still on the old house street yesterday.

The attributes of each character are posted on the back of the character card, and only I can see it. Ling Zhuo, the heroine, is naturally a positive character, and he can only judge by himself later on whether the others are helping him or coming to beat the mandarin ducks.

At the beginning of the story, the princess and the poor scholar met at the Magpie Bridge on Qixi Festival. They fell in love at first sight and gave each other tokens. At the same time, the son of the high official also saw the princess. The princess wanted to marry her daughter, and the princess entrusted her maid to send a letter to the poor scholar, planning to elope with the poor scholar...

But as soon as it came up, some people didn't follow the script. The son of a high official fell in love with the princess, and directly led a group of thugs to rob him in the street.

The one who plays the son of a high official is a resident male guest who is used to playing this kind of variety show script. He didn't play cards according to common sense at the beginning. Ling Zhuo was stunned for a moment. Run, Lu Chixie, the guard of the palace, came up with a sword to save the beauty.

Ling Zhuo was pulled into his arms by him, and Lu Chixie pointed his sword at Deng Tuzi who was facing him with great momentum, and still held Ling Zhuo with one hand.

Qi Liangli, the maidservant of the princess, also reacted quickly, rushed up and opened her hands to protect Ling Zhuo, and then started to scold each other one sentence at a time.

Only then did Ling Zhuo come back to his senses, and got out of Lu Chixie's arms. The son of a high official on the opposite side had already used his first golden finger, which was called "All wishes come true", so Lu Chixie had to let him go , lost when fighting against the opponent, and watched the princess being taken away.

The maid stomped her feet, turned around and ran to the county government office, and reported to the official that her young lady had been robbed, but the princess sneaked out to play in private, and she didn't directly reveal the identity of the princess.

Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, the county magistrate Zhong Yiran personally brought a group of policemen to beg people.

The guards went back to the mansion to report the matter to the prince and concubine, and then brought a team of people to rescue the princess.

Ling Zhuo realized that he could use cheats on the way. They had five cheats in their team, and all three of them could use them, but they could only use them once. After thinking about it, he chose to use the "nearest to me" The villain is now unlucky for Dafa." After waiting for a few minutes, the son of a high official riding a horse in front of him showing his might did not respond.

Ling Zhuo was speechless, this person is not a villain?Then why kidnap him?Send him to poor scholars?

On the other hand, the poor scholar also used his golden finger to check the true identity of the beautiful woman he met, and learned that she was the princess of the palace, without the slightest sense of being unworthy, so he first found the matchmaker and went to the palace to propose marriage.

The palace was full of chickens and dogs, while Lu Chixie and Zhong Yiran each brought their people to meet in front of the high official's mansion. The princess maid came with the magistrate. They came a moment earlier than the guards, and the maid stepped on a piece of banana peel I fell down.

Qi Liangli murmured why there are banana peels in this place, Lu Chixie glanced at him, and twitched the corners of his mouth.

The guard revealed his identity as the palace, and the son of the high official had to hand over to the princess. The county magistrate wanted to take the son of the high official away and put him in prison, but the princess suddenly pleaded for mercy for the son of the high official.

Ling Zhuo was also helpless, since this person was not a villain, he had to save him.

The princess opened his mouth, and the county magistrate didn't make things difficult for him, so he let him go.

The guard brought the princess and maid back to the mansion, looked at the princess and said meaningfully when sending them into the carriage, "Princess, your maid almost fell while stepping on a banana peel outside the door."

Qi Liangli was still muttering about his bad luck, Ling Zhuo opened his eyes slightly.

They both know which golden fingers they have in their respective hands. He speaks for the son of a high official, so Zhong Yiran and Lu Chixie should have guessed that he used the golden finger that made the villain unlucky to confirm that the son of a high official is a good person. Since he is willing to let the son of a high official go, it means that he is also a good person. Lu Chixie's words also confirm this point. The magistrate and the maid arrived at the same time. After he used the gold finger, the maid stepped on a banana peel, Then the servant girl is the villain closest to him, and the magistrate is undoubtedly a good person.

But what about the one in front of him?Is Lu Chixie's bodyguard a good person?

Ling Zhuo couldn't figure it out, the guard came one step later than the magistrate and the maid, the nearest rule didn't apply to him, he might be a good guy or a villain, but since he reminded himself that the maid beside him is a villain, then he should also be a good guy?

Only Qi Liangli, who had no brains, didn't realize that he had been exposed, and was still complaining.

Ling Zhuo looked at Lu Chixie and asked him if he was a good person, but Lu Chixie ignored him and closed the carriage door.

Later, the original plot was broken again. The prince and princess rejected the marriage proposal of the poor scholar, but the two people seemed to disagree, and they did not agree to the marriage proposal of the son of a high official. During the period, other people came out to make trouble, and the plot repeated Going astray, time and time again being pushed back on the right track by good people, in order to elope with the poor scholar, the princess coaxed the maid to deliver the letter, and at the same time asked other trustworthy good people to help contact the poor scholar.

In the end, almost most of the people's identities have been exposed, and the good guys have the upper hand, but it's only been recorded at noon, and the end is impossible. When the princess and the poor scholar are about to die, a villain jumps out, Throwing out the biggest golden finger "Rebirth Dafa" that has been forgotten by people, the story returns to the original point and starts from the beginning.

All the good people who thought they were sure of winning were overwhelmed. The recording of the program was suspended and resumed after the lunch break.

Ling Zhuo went back to the dressing room to remove his make-up. The make-up on his face was especially troublesome, and it took the longest delay. Everyone else had already done it and went outside, and he still had half of his make-up off.

Lu Chixie went back and forth, Ling Zhuo saw him coming in to take things from the mirror, and thought that Lu Chixie would leave again, but this man stopped behind him, looked down at him in the mirror, and said : "Why uninstall them all, anyway, we will continue to record in the afternoon."

Ling Zhuo ignored him, the recording didn't start until three o'clock in the afternoon, he would rather put on makeup again than go out to eat with this makeup on.

Lu Chixie suddenly bent over to get closer, Ling Zhuo subconsciously turned his face sideways.

The makeup artist had just been called away, and Yang Ming also went outside to help him get things in the nanny's car. There was no one else in the dressing room. Lu Chixie's eyes stopped on the side of his face, and he stretched out his hand to shave his cheek : "Is it really rouge?"

Ling Zhuo frowned.

Lu Chixie lowered his voice: "Mr. Ling, you look pretty good in this way."

Ling Zhuo got up suddenly, turned around to leave, but Lu Chixie grabbed his wrist, dragged him into the dressing room beside him, and slammed the door behind him.

"Why are you crazy?!" Ling Zhuo couldn't bear it anymore.

"Teacher Ling forgot, as I said, my patience is limited." Lu Chixie reminded him in a deep voice.

Ling Zhuo: "You——!"

Lu Chixie pressed him against the door panel, looked past his angry eyes, then looked down, lowered his head, and fiercely bit his lip that had just taken off his lipstick.
