dark fire

After Halloween, Ling Zhuo started to record the Star Variety Show "Please Come to My House" on Southern Satellite TV.

In the first episode, I went to the home of another resident male guest. The male guest is a well-known director of the Mesozoic generation. His wife is also a well-known actor. He has two children in elementary school. The family atmosphere is very good, and there are many spots to shoot. Ling Zhuo went to someone's house as a guest, and was in front of the camera again. At first, he couldn't let go of his hands and feet, but then he was pestered by two little girls, and basically spent the whole episode playing with the children.

After recording that episode, the director of the program joked that he had the potential to be a baby daddy, and then said that the second episode would be recorded at his home so that he could get ready, and the program team would go to the spot two days in advance.

Ling Zhuo was a little nervous, so he called Zhang Jing to talk about it when he got back, and asked if he could just rent a house and deal with the recording of the show.

Zhang Jing said directly: "It's not good. Since the program team said that they need to check in advance, renting a house to fool them will definitely make it difficult. It will be even more difficult to justify it when it is discovered. In serious cases, it can be considered a breach of contract. The contract signed at the time stated that Reflecting the real life situation, this is the selling point of their program, and will not allow you to fake it."

Ling Zhuo: "Then what should I do, people can't really let people know that I live with Mr. Lu, right? Even if I fired CP, it would be too much..."

Zhang Jing thought about it, and asked: "Can you discuss with him, ask him to go outside when the program crew is on site and recording, and then pack up his things, and then pretend that you live alone?"

Ling Zhuo: "Isn't this still a lie?"

Zhang Jing: "Then you have a better way?"

Ling Zhuo: "...Let me ask him."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Chixie came over and said, "What did your manager say?"

Ling Zhuo bit the bullet and said Zhang Jing's proposal. He turned his back on the customer and wanted to drive out Lu Chixie, the real landlord, and he was really embarrassed.

Lu Chixie didn't express his opinion immediately, but looked at him with a half-smile.

Ling Zhuo: "Is it possible?"

Lu Chixie: "I can't see anyone?"

Ling Zhuo was helpless: "Teacher Lu, please do me a favor, I don't want to come out now."

"Okay," Lu Chixie replied casually, "I'll just go out."

Ling Zhuo: "You agreed?"

Lu Chixie: "What if you don't agree, you move out?"

Ling Zhuo smiled and beat his leg: "Thank you."

"Yeah." Lu Chixie reached out and pinched his face.

Three days later, the director of the program team came to the door with a few planners. Before coming, Yang Minglai helped put all Lu Chixie's daily necessities into the cabinet, and cleaned up the house. At first glance, it really looked like Ling Zhuo's house where Ling Zhuo lived alone.

The choreographer and director walked around the house first, and praised Ling Zhuo that his house was nice. Ling Zhuo agreed and smiled without explaining much.

"I'm usually alone at home, and I seldom even come to my friends. There is no fireworks at home, so I don't know how to plan when I record, I'm afraid I won't find something."

The program planners who came with them are also discussing. Fortunately, in the second period, besides the permanent guests, there are also three flying guests.

The director said casually: "Relax, the audience wants to see everyone's real life. It's not good to be too deliberate. In the second issue, Xiaoling, you are the master, and there will definitely be more shots than others. Why don't you think about the real life at home?" How to entertain friends, just prepare according to your own ideas."

Ling Zhuo felt relieved: "Okay, let me think about it more carefully."

On the day of the recording, the appointed camera crew came to the door at [-]:[-] in the morning.

Ling Zhuo was worried that they would come early and drive Lu Chixie out of the house before seven o'clock.The weather changed last night, the temperature plummeted by more than ten degrees, Ling Zhuo specially helped him get a thick coat when he went out, wrapped the long scarf around Lu Chixie's neck twice, and then pulled him close and put it on his lips A kiss: "Wherever you want to go, come back at night."

Lu Chixie looked at him and smiled: "Mr. Ling is really considerate when he asks for others, but I haven't seen you so proactive at other times."

Ling Zhuo kissed him again: "Please."

After the person left, Ling Zhuo licked his bitten lip, put on some lipstick, and finally checked the house to make sure there was nothing wrong, so he went to the living room to wait.

At ten minutes to eight, Ling Zhuo was making coffee when the doorbell rang.

When the cameraman came in, he greeted him with a smile. According to the procedure, he first visited the whole house with the camera, introduced the general situation of the house, and finally said that he planned to entertain the guests to eat hot pot at noon today, and now he was going out to the supermarket to buy ingredients.

The cameraman followed him downstairs, and Ling Zhuo met the first guest who came to the door downstairs in the community. He was also a resident guest, with a lot of second-tier traffic. He just got married in the first half of the year, and he will go to her home to record in the next issue.

Hearing Ling Zhuo said that he was going to the supermarket, the girl smiled and said to go together, Ling Zhuo had no objection, he and the girl had been on the same stage before, so he could say a few words.

The two chatted while walking outside. The girl said that she thought the environment in this neighborhood was pretty good when she first came in: "When I got married, I planned to buy a house here, but I gave up when I didn't see a suitable one. Otherwise, we might return it." To be a neighbor."

Ling Zhuo smiled and said a few words casually. He was a little worried that after this episode of the program was broadcast, people would find out where he lived. Fortunately, the security of this community is good, and illegitimate students cannot easily enter.

The girl then asked Ling Zhuo if he lived alone, and Ling Zhuo said, "Ah, it's more convenient to live alone."

The other party said with a smile: "Living alone is quite free, but it's also good to have a companion, otherwise it would be so boring to be alone at home when you don't have a job."

The girl just got married and was still in the honeymoon period. When talking about this, her face was full of sweetness, Ling Zhuo actually quite agreed with her words, but it was difficult to show it.

"Hey, won't your fans be upset if I say that? It's like I'm encouraging you to fall in love."

Ling Zhuo also smiled: "That's not the case. I used to live with a few teammates. It's more crowded, but it's good now."

They went to the large supermarket near the community together, and when they came back four or ten minutes later, other guests came to the door one after another. Everyone who entered the door must first sigh that Ling Zhuo’s house is big enough, why is he living alone, Ling Zhuo is not I'm sorry to say more, but I'm fooling around.

After everyone arrived, he called everyone to play in the living room and entertainment room, and went to the kitchen to take out the ingredients he had just bought, and washed and cut everything that needed to be washed.There were also other people who came to help, Ling Zhuo was busy working, someone came to call him, saying that the projection screen in the entertainment room could not be turned on for some reason, and asked him to take a look, he hurriedly washed his hands and went there, but ended up messing around for a long time , he can't open it either.

Surrounded by a bunch of people, Ling Zhuo was a little embarrassed, found an excuse to hide first, and sent Lu Chixie a WeChat message for help while pinching his phone.

The cameraman following him asked him why the projection screen in his own home was not turned on, Ling Zhuo said helplessly, "I don't know, it was fine yesterday, but something went wrong when the guests came today."

Fortunately, Lu Chixie replied quickly, he finally opened the thing according to Lu Chixie's instruction.

Afterwards, he was still in a hurry, asking Lu Chixie if there was anything he couldn’t use, and if he couldn’t find something, Ling Zhuo could hardly leave his mobile phone, and someone couldn’t help but ask, “Xiao Ling, you Who have you been messaging?"

Ling Zhuo replied calmly: "My dad."

He went to the kitchen to continue working, and Lu Chixie sent another message: "Can I go back to eat?"

Ling Zhuo: "Now?"

Lu Chixie's call came in, Ling Zhuo could only answer it: "Teacher Ling, please let me go home, I can't find anyone to eat with, it's snowing outside, it's so cold."

Ling Zhuo glanced out the window, it was only foggy when he went out in the morning, but now it has really snowed.

Lu Chixie's tone seemed to be abusing him...

Ling Zhuo couldn't say much in front of the camera, so he nodded: "Come on."

The helper in the kitchen asked him if he had any friends coming, Ling Zhuo explained: "My friend called to ask me to have dinner together, and I asked him to come and set up a pair of chopsticks, you don't mind."

The others all said they didn't mind, it was more lively with multiple people, Ling Zhuo didn't mention it was Lu Chixie, let's talk about it when he comes.

Ten minutes later, Lu Chixie came to the door, and rang the doorbell cooperatively, without directly brushing his face.

Ling Zhuo went to open the door, Lu Chixie came in, saw the camera and glanced at him with a smile: "Teacher Ling is entertaining guests today? Is it the right time for me to come?"

Ling Zhuo: "No, it doesn't matter if there is more than one teacher, you know everyone."

Lu Chixie took off his coat, and hung it in the closet by the entrance in a familiar way.

Although the program team was surprised by Lu Chixie's sudden arrival, they were also happy to see him add to the topic. Someone in the living room heard the voice coming, and was surprised to see Lu Chixie at first, and then smiled and came over to greet him.

Ling Zhuo was right, Lu Chixie knew most of these people, a little more familiar with them than Ling Zhuo.

Lu Chixie quickly blended into the crowd. When asked why he suddenly came to Ling Zhuo's house, he glanced at Ling Zhuo who was still busy, and said calmly, "I have a dinner appointment with Teacher Ling. I didn't expect him to treat guests at home."

Some people laughed at him: "You two have such a good relationship, and it's interesting to call each other teachers in one sentence, isn't it?"

Lu Chixie curled his lips: "Then you have to ask Teacher Ling, he likes to play this kind of game."

Ling Zhuo, who was squeezing juice at the bar, was called out, and the girl who went shopping together in the supermarket in the morning asked him with a smile: "Is it a game for you and Lu Chixie to call each other teacher? Actually, my husband and I sometimes do that too. Play."

Ling Zhuo: "...No, I just got used to it."

After scolding Lu Chixie for showing off in his heart, he lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the drink in his hand.

Lu Chixie came over and leaned against the bar to watch him work.

Ling Zhuo was not born to be able to work, and he was in a hurry to squeeze a juice. After finally finishing it, he found that there was not enough juice, not enough for so many people.Lu Chixie took the tool in his hand: "You squeezed it too thickly, it's not juice but jam, you can squeeze it thinner by adjusting the gear to three, go and get some more fruit."

Ling Zhuo blushed, gave up the work to Lu Chixie, and obediently helped him.

Pots and dishes were already placed on the long table. Someone studied the lights on the ceiling of the restaurant and asked Ling Zhuo if this was an adjustable ambient light, and asked him to make something more atmospheric. Ling Zhuo showed embarrassment , he doesn't even know this.

Lu Chixie had already walked over, flipped a few switches casually, and the light above his head turned into a starry sky blue, with a soft tone and a really atmospheric atmosphere.

Someone immediately joked: "Ling Zhuo, is this your house or Lu Chixie's house?"

Lu Chixie smiled and said, "The program team invite me to be a guest next time, and I'll invite you to my house too."

Of course the others said yes, but Ling Zhuo didn't have the nerve to say so, and changed the topic vaguely.

Before dinner, he went to the bathroom in the master bedroom to wash his face, and the cameraman was waiting outside.

A few minutes later, Lu Chixie came over and greeted the camera brother: "Don't shoot for now, why don't you go outside and have a rest."

The other party originally wanted to say no, but on second thought, he agreed. Seeing Lu Chixie follow up to the bathroom and bring him to the door, he suddenly had some weird thoughts in his heart, shook his head and left.

Ling Zhuo had just finished washing his face when he caught a glimpse of Lu Chixie coming in from the mirror and reminded him: "There are still people taking photos outside."

"Sent away." Lu Chixie stepped forward.

Ling Zhuo turned around, leaned on the washstand behind him and looked at him: "I came here specially for dinner, and said I couldn't find anyone with me, did you do it on purpose?"

Lu Chixie: "Really not, there is no one at my parents' house, and temporary appointments with friends require other people to be free. How many people are willing to go out when it suddenly snows outside?"

Ling Zhuo: "Then what did you do this morning?"

Lu Chixie: "I went to the studio for a while, and then I kept driving around the street. You can't let me drive around all day."

"... Teacher Lu is so pitiful."

Ling Zhuo felt a little guilty, and felt a little unspeakable. It was probably not easy for a self-centered person like Lu Chixie to be able to give in and endure for him to such an extent.

"Poor?" Lu Chixi lowered his voice, "Do you think I'm pitiful?"

Ling Zhuo thought about it carefully, and answered him: "When I have the ability, I will give you a title, and you don't have to hide like this."

If only they were still together then.

Lu Chixie chuckled softly: "What do you mean capable?"

Ling Zhuo: "Anyway, it doesn't work now, the head will be wrung off."

Lu Chixie; "Well, forget it." He didn't intend to argue with Ling Zhuo about this.

A guest from outside called and urged Ling Zhuo to go out quickly and wait for his master. Ling Zhuo: "I'll go out after washing my face, Mr. Lu? He's not here, I didn't see him, I'll look for him later, maybe Let's go to the study."

After hanging up the phone, facing Lu Chixie who was full of narrow eyes, Ling Zhuo pushed his chest solemnly: "Let's go."

Lu Chixie laughed again, let him go, and when he turned around, Ling Zhuo grabbed his arm: "Is it a good thing I keep calling you Mr. Lu? Why do your family members call you?"

Lu Chixie paused, "You call me by my name."

It's not that Ling Zhuo hasn't called him face to face, last time he deliberately fell into the swimming pool, Ling Zhuo shouted his name anxiously, but Ling Zhuo was a little awkward, usually he insisted on calling him "teacher", if it wasn't for someone else Point it out, I'm afraid I don't want to change it yet.

Being stared at by Lu Chixie, Ling Zhuo hesitated and changed his words: "Lu... Chixie."
