Clear stream

The midsummer, which has been dry and rainless for a long time, is coming quietly. The white sunlight shines on the leaves of the street trees, and the viscous heat wave seems to be frozen, making people breathless.

Originally, in such weather, Fang Ruogu should have stayed at home or in the company eating watermelon to cool off, but at this time he was thrown in the waiting room by Yang Qiushi to wait for the audition with many new faces.

Before leaving the company, Yang Qiushi reminded him: "You play well, Director Xu is more strict, he only recognizes his eyes and doesn't recognize others. If you perform well, you can squeeze out Fan Zhen and avenge your bullying."

There is no air-conditioning in the hall, Fang Ruogu felt that if he continued to stand like this, his makeup would be all over his face.

He glanced around, and there were quite a few people auditioning, but he didn't see Fan Zhen. The young actors on the 36 lines are all greedy for this big production and big investment, but only Fan Zhen and Fang Ruogu are competing for the male lead.

Fan Zhen is the most popular cold beauty at the moment, she can spare no effort to catch people's attention even if she stands there without saying a word.

The looks of the two are actually on par, Fan Zhen's body is full of makeup and powder, while Fang Ruogu's facial features are handsome but not customary.

He also secretly compared Fan Zhen with Xi Qingxi, and came to a slightly proud conclusion. If Xi Qingxi enters the entertainment industry, then what about Fan Zhen?The beauty lies in the bone but not in the skin, Xi Qingxi is beautiful in the bone, it is not the same beauty, and the scar on his forehead is also a good memory point.

Just as Fang Ruogu was sitting on the bench and thinking wildly, a clear voice suddenly came from above his head: "Hello, are you Fang Ruogu?"

Fang Ruogu raised his head suspiciously, saw that the person who came stood up calmly, and said, "It's me."

It was Fan Zhen who spoke to none other than Fan Zhen.He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Who am I as a fierce fan? After reading your episode, I thought you were very powerful. I thought I could get to know you if I had the chance."

Fang Ruogu was silent for a few seconds, then extended his hand generously: "Nice to meet you."

Fan Zhen sat beside him, crossed his fingers on his knees, and chatted happily like a friend for many years: "Which role are you trying out today?"

"You don't know?" Fang Ruogu blurted out, then felt a slip of the tongue in the next second, and responded unhurriedly, "I'll try Yanyu."

Fang Ruogu was dubious about Fan Zhen's inexplicable overtures. Xi Qingxi said that it was Fan Zhen who played tricks behind the unbundling of CP and fermenting into the Great War of the Century. It was impossible for him not to know that his competitor was Fang Ruogu.

Fan Zhen showed a look of sudden realization, and regretted: "I was looking forward to cooperating with you in this drama, but now it seems that our fate is not enough."

The chat ended with Fang Ruogu's awkward yet polite smile, and soon it was their turn to enter.

Fan Zhen was the first to go in. He stayed in the room for a long time, and Fang Ruogu couldn't help feeling sleepy while waiting, and finally heard the field manager call his name.

As soon as he entered the door, he realized that he was at a disadvantage. There were four people sitting directly in front of him, the director and assistant director, the screenwriter and the producer.They discussed in full swing, they didn't notice Fang Ruogu's arrival, and the discussion was about Fan Zhen's audition in the last round.

Fang Ruogu stood there silently, the cold air from the air conditioner was blowing straight into his collar, the sweat on his body was not completely dry, when the wind blew at this time, the pores all over his body expanded, making him shiver from the cold.

At this time, the chief director noticed him, cleared his throat and said, "Let's get started."

Fang Ruogu is a talented player. Not only is he extremely talented, but he also has the tenacity not to hit the wall and not look back.Even if he wasn't from a major, he could comprehend all the acting skills.The reason why he has not exploded until today is that the only thing he lacks is an opportunity. Now with the help of Xi Qingxi, he is even more ruthless.

"You acted quite well, but you almost lack charm. Charm is a very mysterious thing. Let's see if you can figure it out when you go back. If you figure it out thoroughly, it will be a qualitative leap."

The screenwriter put it more tactfully, implying that he was not selected.When Fang Ruogu heard the news, his mood didn't fluctuate. The air conditioner made him dizzy and sick, and he didn't have the energy to think too much.

Fang Ruogu opened the door frivolously, a wave of heat mixed with various strange smells hit his face, the huge temperature difference made him more uncomfortable, the back of the head seemed to be hit repeatedly with a blunt instrument, and he gasped in pain.

"What's wrong with you? You don't look very good, do you want to take a rest?" Fan Zhen stepped forward to hold his arm and asked with concern.

Fang Ruogu gently pushed him away, his tone was gentle but firm: "Thank you for your kindness, I'm fine."

He leaned on the wall to stay away from the waiting area, came to the lobby, took out his mobile phone and called Xi Qingxi, "Are you free to pick me up? I seem to have a bit of heat stroke."

Xi Qingxi quickly rushed over, he pushed open the glass door, and strode towards Fang Ruogu.

"Can you still go?"

Fang Ruogu refused sternly: "I am a man anyway, my physical strength is not so bad that I have to be hugged by the princess."

Xi Qingxi leaned against the edge of the door with her arms folded, watching him stand up with amused amusement, and didn't intend to help.When Fang Ruogu came to his side, he mercifully put his arms around his waist to lend him support.

Fang Ruogu: "?"

Xi Qingxi: "It's okay, you're confused, no one will notice."

Fang Ruogu: "???"

A pair of good-looking eyes in the corner watched them leave intently.

……

There was no air-conditioning in the car, so Xi Qingxi opened all the windows to let Fang Ruogu enjoy the natural wind.

"The temperature in the room is too low, and it's hot outside. I've been suffering from heat stroke every time I enter and exit." Fang Ruogu closed his eyes and muttered, "I shouldn't have disturbed you, right? I left the clinic to fend for itself.”

Xi Qingxi scolded softly: "Save your energy, even heatstroke won't stop your mouth."

"Oh……"

Naturally, Xi Qingxi didn't throw him in the clinic, but took him to Lin Zhizhi's hospital to get acquainted.

Fortunately, Fang Ruogu was only suffering from mild heatstroke. The doctor in the emergency department asked Fang Ruogu to sit in a ventilated place to enjoy the natural wind, and then brought him oral rehydration salts and an ice pack: "After drinking this, lie down and rest, put the ice pack on the Cool down the side of the neck."

While Fang Ruogu closed his eyes and rested his mind, Xi Qingxi came out of the overcrowded consulting room to breathe.Lin Zhizhi was on duty today, he thought for a few seconds, and swaggered around to the duty room of the gastroenterology department to chat with her.

Lin Zhizhi was looking at the medical records, glanced at Xi Qingxi's face and left quickly: "Stomach pain again?"

"No." Xi Qingxi replied honestly, "Bring someone to see a doctor."

She paused the tip of her pen and said, "It's ok, you, don't you want to introduce me?"

"Wait for him to come out."

Lin Zhizhi became interested, so she threw away the water-based pen and asked, "Is this a new love or a lover?"

Xi Qingxi raised her eyebrows: "Is there a difference?"

"Of course." Lin Zhizhi glared at him, "Is there anything you don't know? Don't play dumb for me."

"What do you think?" Xi Qingxi smiled and kicked the ball to Lin Zhizhi again.

Lin Zhizhi said: "I didn't see you bringing someone here to see a doctor before. It's strange."

"So it's familiar. If I have any emergencies in the future, it will be more convenient for him to come to you." Xi Qingxi neither admitted nor denied, "There should be no replacement in a short time."
