After being forced to do business with my ex-boyfriend, I became popular

【02】

Jiang Ruan seemed to be nailed in place, unable to move.

He and Xie Shiyu had been rivals for five years, and they were so incompatible that any passer-by would know that they would not deal with them, but it was funny to say that, in fact, they had hardly met each other.

Not to mention being on the same stage, even in some industry dinners and award ceremonies, the seats are far apart.

Aside from the difference in the status of the coffee, even if the organizer wanted to use them to create a topic and create a buzz, it didn't matter if they didn't take Jiang Ruan seriously, but no one dared to test Xie Shiyu's bottom line.

The last time he faced each other like this was eight years ago, when the summer vacation was approaching in the second year of high school, he broke up with Xie Shiyu.

He was still preparing for the provincial chemistry competition, so he was the last one in the class to leave every day. After school, he would go to the library to do the questions, until the end of the evening self-study in the third year of high school, and collectively turn off the lights.

It was almost eleven o'clock, the school gate was very deserted, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

Xie Shiyu hadn't come to school for several days, but that night he was waiting for him under the shade of a tree, with a cigarette between his fingertips, and a faint light of fire lit up half of his face. students.

He was carrying his schoolbag in one hand, leaning on the motorcycle behind him, with lazy brows and eyes, and a cold face. He looked down at him and said, "Sometimes I can't help being soft-hearted towards you, and I feel that it's not worth it."

"Are you born to be so deceitful?"

"I'm unlucky."

Later, Jiang Ruan heard that he had gone abroad.

The manager Jiang Nan glanced at Jiang Ruan sharply. Although Jiang Ruan's face could not be seen clearly through the mask and the bouquet of roses, he always felt familiar.

She couldn't help frowning, the news of Xie Shiyu's joining the group was spread by someone, and many people came to block him today.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Xie has an announcement later, so I don't have much time." Jiang Nan wanted to take a step forward, and stopped the other party from approaching at the right time, with a polite and distant tone, "There will be a fan meeting next month, you can come to the scene at that time. "

But Xie Shiyu moved first.

He took the flowers in Jiang Ruan's arms with one hand, then gently hooked the edge of his mask with his fingertips, and pulled it down, revealing a slightly flushed face after allergies.

Jiang Ruan was born with a cool white skin, her face was even more conspicuous when she blushed, as if she had been rubbed by a crumpled rose overflowing with flower juice.

"..." Jiang Ruan stood there awkwardly.

This situation is indeed easy to misunderstand. Before he had time to explain, he was neither his fan nor his illegitimate child.

Just passing by... an ex-boyfriend.

Xie Shiyu was much taller than him, so he just looked at him silently with lowered eyes, as if he realized that this face was familiar, and said coldly: "...Jiang Ruan?"

"...Long time no see." Jiang Ruan held back a word after a while.He thought about it, then said, "I'm sorry."

It was to apologize for accidentally bumping into him just now.

"It's been a long time, I almost didn't recognize it." Xie Shiyu casually let go of his hand, his eyes fell on the bouquet of roses, and asked casually, "Did you get it on the set?"

Even the side of Jiang Ruan's neck began to itch.

Moreover, he has been shooting magazines since noon yesterday, which was his last announcement. He has been busy until the early hours of this morning, and he directly entered the group without resting on the way.Now I'm sleepy all over, so I didn't react, and nodded in confusion, "Well, the drama manager gave it to me."

Xie Shiyu was not interested in reminiscing about the past with him, and planned to leave with his manager.

Jiang Ruan subconsciously glanced at Hua, who was taken away innocently.

Xie Shiyu's brows were cold, and when he passed by him, he stuffed the flowers back into his arms, "Put it away."

Jiang Ruan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard them get on the elevator, took out her room card, and swiped open the door next door.After entering the room, he put the flowers in the small bedroom of the suite, and then went to the bathroom to look at his face in the mirror.

He has some pollen allergies, but it's not particularly serious, just red and itchy skin, watery eyes, and it's much better to leave the allergens.

After a short while of cold compress, the itching was gone, and the person also woke up.

He suddenly realized that all the rooms on this floor should have been reserved by the crew. Even if Xie Shiyu was filming in the film and television city, why did he live next door to him?

And what Xie Shiyu asked him at the end, Jiang Ruan always had an ominous premonition.

The doorbell was suddenly pressed a few times in a hurry.

Jiang Ruan went to open the door, and Xu Xiaozhou came in with a lunch box in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, his pupils trembled, and he said, "Brother Ruan, have you watched Hot Search? Do you know who the hero of this drama is? Who? Damn, when I came up just now, I ran into Xie Shiyu and his manager?!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about waiting for Jiang Ruan to look for the phone, and hurriedly handed him his own, "Look quickly!"

Jiang Ruan looked down, and at the top were several Weibo posts from marketing accounts.

@娱乐星快报: The online drama "Repeaters" starts today, and the two leading actors @谢时香@江瑜appeared on the set, the first collaboration, instant fire! [Live photo × 9]

@果香八句社: debuted for five years, never on the same stage, it is said that the king has not seen the king, private relationship is not good, did not expect @谢时香@江瑜 will co-star in the double male lead, it seems that the rumors are self-defeating!Xie Actor has another brand new drama after filming "The Mist", looking forward to seeing you soon!

There are also a few moving pictures below, which are thickly coded, but the Mercedes can still be recognized.

One of them captured his back as he turned his head to talk to an assistant.

Under the slightly out-of-focus lens, even if he is wearing a pure white down jacket, he can still see his shoulders are thin and straight, with a slight side profile, a straight nose, and an overly delicate jaw line, like a luminous body in the chaotic studio and crowd , can be captured at a glance.

The popularity of the topic continued to rise, and the comments had already turned upside down.

[Guatian Xixia: Are all the current marketing accounts making shitty rumors?Laughing to death, which director would not want to ask the two of them to film together, afraid that the tearing will not be loud enough? [Qingwen tears the fan.gif]]

[What are you looking at:? ? ?Shocked my whole family, will my 5.0 eyesight be lame?Xie Shiyu wants to act in a same-sex drama? ? ? 】

[Would you like an autumn grass parrot: [Love] [Love] [Looking forward] Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo up!Brother Xie and Ruan Ruan get married in place! ! ! [Love] [Looking forward]]

[My Buddha is merciful: ... the upstairs is the only Shiruan CP fan on the whole network, right?I am familiar with you, your circle is not a cold circle, this is already a rumor-making CP, the Internet is not a place outside the law. 】

[Just a passer-by: It's gone, it's a pheasant crew, it doesn't even have an official blog, and the scene picture is so blurry that mom doesn't recognize the back, anyone who believes it will criticize it. 】

[I'm also thinking about Xiao Xie today: Is the scumbag rubbing Xie Shiyu's heat again today?Rubbed. 】

[Lin Hua Bu Xie: Please pay attention to Xie Shiyu's drama "Mist", don't believe in rumors or spread rumors, everything depends on the official blog. [picture]】

"I haven't woken up yet, right? How is that possible?" Xu Xiaozhou was terrified, couldn't help but pinch himself, shivered from the pain, and finally realized that it wasn't an absurd dream.

Even though he was Jiang Ruan's assistant and his diehard fan, he had to admit it.

Who is Xie Shiyu.

Since his debut, he has been popular all the way, and he has dominated the big screen for several years. All the movies he has made have been well received and well received. No matter how unscrupulous the media is, they have to be called "acting school".The best actor of the three materials has both strength and traffic, and he can't get any good scripts. Except for the bewitching and being lowered, Xu Xiaozhou can't think of a reason for him to make such a movie.

It’s fine if it’s a good shot, but if it’s ruined, it’s a complete stain.

"If it's true, play with him... then what shall we do? His fans will definitely not accept it." Xu Xiaozhou was really worried.

Now that the cast has not yet been confirmed, many people are already mocking Jiang Ruan. Apart from Xie Shiyu's fans, there are also many passers-by watching the excitement.

When the official blog really discloses the news, Jiang Ruan will be torn alive?

Over the years, Xie Shiyu's fans have always been very Buddhist. After all, Xie Shiyu has taken every step steadily, and his studio has handled all affairs in a timely manner, so there is no need for fans to worry about it.

But Jiang Ruan was an exception, with extremely strong combat effectiveness.

When Jiang Ruan's popularity just started to decline a few years ago, Huo Li wanted him to catch Xie Shiyu's popularity. In this business, black and red are also red, and the most terrible thing is being forgotten.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ruan flatly refused.

He didn't cooperate, and Huo Li couldn't completely control him at that time, so he pointed at him and yelled, "Why are you pretending to be arrogant all day long?! There will be times when you regret it! It's no use begging me then!"

Who knew that Huo Li was not the only one who thought this way, some marketing bloggers were also moved and sent some specious drafts.

For example, at a domestic film festival one year, Jiang Ruan and Xie Shiyu accidentally passed each other, and was photographed by the entertainment reporter present, saying, "Xie Shiyu forgot to shake hands with Jiang Ruan", implying his arrogant attitude.Another example is that Jiang Ruan's interview was intercepted out of context. It was obviously self-deprecating, but it turned into him mocking Xie Shiyu's acting failure.

There are countless similar things.

This operation completely messed up the relationship between the two fans.

"I don't know, let's talk about it at the start-up banquet tonight." Jiang Ruan's voice was still cold, and he returned the phone to Xu Xiaozhou.

He went to look through the anti-allergic medicine he had just taken, and sure enough, it had expired for a month, and he forgot about it in a hurry, so he didn't replace it with a new one.

The opening banquet was held in the ballroom of the crew hotel.

Jiang Ruan changed into a suit and went over. From a distance, she could hear the sound of cups being pushed and changed, one after another like the tide.Porcelain vases on both sides of the corridor are filled with Western peonies and pure white small-leaf roses, and the carpet under the feet is scarlet.

There are floor-to-ceiling windows all around, reflecting the radiant ceiling lights, and the moonlight and snow under the city sky, complementing each other.

"The opening banquet can be done like this, the crew doesn't look like they are short of money." Xu Xiaozhou was so surprised that he was numb all the way, and whispered to Jiang Ruan, "Brother Ruan, what do you think the director is from?

"To be able to invite Cen Liu, she just won the award last year, right?

"Besides, I seemed to see a few familiar faces just now. They are all old actors, and now they don't take the role easily."

Jiang Ruan shook her head, "I don't know, I just heard that I just came back from abroad."

When he accepted the film, to put it bluntly, he was short of money.The salary is a normal salary, not too high, but for him, it may be able to solve his urgent needs in the future.

When the banquet was halfway through, the director asked someone to call him over. The director's team and the production team were in the box at the end of the corridor.

Jiang Ruan followed behind the waiter.

Going around the screen, he saw Xie Shiyu first.

Xie Shiyu was still in the daytime suit, but the Windsor knot was meticulously tied. He leaned on the leather sofa, lazily holding a cigarette between his fingertips, and turned his head to talk to the person next to him. The cigarette butt glowed with sparks.

Hearing someone coming in, Dan Feng glanced outside the door, and his smile gradually subsided.

"Hey, sure enough people can't help but say, just mentioned it, and here it is." Director Zhang Shu stood up with a smile.He looked very young, less than thirty, tall and thin, and not very handsome, but with thick eyebrows and high nose, straight shoulders and back, he looked very handsome.

He turned around and said to the producer and several investors, "This is our other male lead, Jiang Ruan."

Strictly speaking, this drama is actually two male protagonists, with Jiang Ruan playing the second role.

"Director Zhang." Jiang Ruan greeted the director first, and then went to the banquet to toast.

He has a good capacity for drinking, and he is not drunk after a lap. Standing under the lamp with a wine glass in his hand, his back is not slumped at all, and the lines of his shoulders and neck are thin and delicate.When he raised his eyes casually, the bottom of his eyes lit up, like a glimpse on the big screen.

"Don't go, just sit for a while." The more Zhang Shu looked at it, the more he felt that he was very satisfied with the casting this time. He got up and went to the next box to find the lighting and camera crew, but he didn't let Jiang Ruan go. He pointed back to Xie Shiyu There is an empty seat, "There is a place there, go and sit with Teacher Xie first, I have something to see you later."

Jiang Ruan paused, but had no choice but to sit down.

"It's a coincidence." Xie Shiyu said coldly.

"Yes, I didn't expect it to be you." Jiang Ruan felt a little aggrieved by this place, and couldn't leave, so she said softly, "Can you lend me a cigarette?"

Xie Shiyu nodded slightly.

Jiang Ruan took the cigarette case, knocked out one lightly, and lit it herself.

His movements were green and he couldn't even pull the lighter steadily. He lowered his head and lit the cigarette slowly, with serious eyebrows and eyes.

"I remember you don't smoke." Xie Shiyu said.

Jiang Ruan was taken aback, "...the filming will start tomorrow, so let's learn in advance. But I also smoke occasionally."

Xie Shiyu looked at him and smiled, the corners of his lips could not be suppressed, as if he had heard something interesting, but there was no smile in his eyes, and he said word by word: "Good student. "

"You're welcome." Jiang Ruan couldn't hold back a word from him.

"Will you not accompany me to have a glass of wine?" Xie Shiyu turned his head to look at him. The smell of alcohol on his body was already heavy, but it didn't smell bad. The private room was filled with high-quality famous wine, mixed with the faint fragrance of cypress and roses. Jiang Ruan couldn't tell whether it was the wine or the perfume on Xie Shiyu's body. He didn't like the cold smell.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Xie Shiyu gently tapped the side of the cup with his fingertips.

Although Xie Shiyu's voice was very low, someone next to him heard it, and said with a smile, "Yes, why didn't you pour Xie a glass of wine? You can't favor one over another, can you?"

Some of the people at the table didn't know Jiang Ruan, they thought he was just a pretty little star, he looked so small, he probably just debuted not long ago.The rest of the people who knew Jiang Ruan probably knew that he and Xie Shiyu were at odds. Although they couldn't figure out why Xie Shiyu suddenly came to accept such a play, they tried to please Jiang Ruan and urged Jiang Ruan to pour wine.Even if you can't get to the Xie family behind you, it won't hurt you to get in touch with Xie Shiyu himself.

What's more, they have already drunk too much, they are inappropriate, and they are vying to boo.

"That's right, it's not bad for this cup, is it? It's all a good sign that the startup is going well. Hurry up and fill it up."

Jiang Ruan pursed his lower lip, and he stood silently for a few seconds, reaching for the wine bottle, the light in the box poured on him, as if he was the only one awake.

His eyelashes are fine and thin, casting a small shadow when they are lowered, making him appear to be lying deeper. The movements of raising his hands are smooth and beautiful, but there is an incompatible cleanness. It is impossible to tell that he is someone who has been immersed in this circle for several years. , reserved and gentle.

Xie Shiyu looked at his hands indifferently. Those pale and slender fingers were about to reach the cold green glass bottle neck.

There was an ambiguous laugh in his ear.

Someone jokingly laughed and said, "Haha Director Zhang's vision is quite good. Where did he find such a newcomer? Isn't he too sensible? I heard from him that it was very difficult to choose a role at the beginning, but I didn't expect to find it in a blink of an eye. Don't be so serious." A freshman picked up at the Film Academy? No wonder he looks so small, but still looks..."

Xie Shiyu suddenly pushed away the wine glass, and moved the wine bottle away. During the movement, the fingertips of the two people accidentally touched each other, and then staggered.

Like nothing happened.

"I don't know, let him pick it up somewhere." Xie Shiyu's voice was not high, but the booing and spectators in the private room could hear him. He said calmly, "The filming will start tomorrow. Why drink so much? It's a waste of time."
