When Xi Muyu spoke, he was not as close to Zhuang Yisheng as he used to be, he just leaned on the seat casually, his voice was neither salty nor weak, and it added a sense of alienation before.

Zhuang Yisheng suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

So, he boldly said, "I won't go down."

He was afraid that Xi Muyu would misunderstand him and put on a show, and said: "As for the last illegitimate meal, Sister Man has a friend who studies criminal psychology, and asked him to advise him, saying that there may be a potential stalker, so Better be careful."

Afterwards, he frowned and said in dissatisfaction: "These people are just annoying. It's not appropriate for a good person to follow me. Is it interesting?"

Xi Muyu looked at him, "Just now I said I didn't count 13 in my heart, but I think you are."

After all, what's so special about someone who can make Xi Muyu fall in love with others?

Zhuang Yisheng smiled dryly, "I'm really handsome."

Xi Muyu glanced at him, but didn't say much, after that, the car fell into a brief silence.Zhuang Yisheng looked at his phone the whole time, but from time to time, he peeked at Xi Muyu.

Xi Muyu has been paying attention to him from the corner of his eye, seeing his every move, and lightly scoffed in his heart: "Small boy."

The mood is very ironic, and there is a little bit of complacency, and the expression is much softer unconsciously.

Ten minutes later, they entered a box of a well-known local private restaurant.Because the food was ordered in advance, the boss had already prepared it. As soon as Zhuang Yisheng and Xi Muyu arrived and asked Xi Muyu, they began to serve the food one after another.

Because it was recommended by an acquaintance, the boss originally wanted to stand in the room to accompany the guests, in case they wanted to ask something related to the dishes, but Sun Xiaohan, who came after him, explained to the boss and left the space for them.

First the appetizer, then the main course.

After all the food and drinks were served, the waiter thoughtfully closed the door of the box when he left.

Zhuang Yisheng opened the wine consciously, and as soon as he poured a glass for Xi Muyu and himself, the door of the box was pushed open.A tall, handsome man who didn't show his age opened the door and entered.

Sun Xiaohan, who was guarding the door, closed the door.

The man took off his down jacket and towel, inside was a navy blue turtleneck sweater, underneath was a pair of dark gray slacks, a pair of sneakers, and a black baseball cap.

Zhuang Yisheng didn't need to look closely to know that this person was Meng Ran who was in the same position as Xi Muyu and was very popular.Unlike Xi Muyu who became famous immediately after his debut, Meng Ran's road to fame was bumpy.Before graduating from university, he started to join the film crew to play tricks, and later became the leading role in TV dramas, and then switched to movies after setting a record in ratings.

He has made literary films as well as commercial films, and after several ups and downs, he won three gold medals one after another, establishing his status as an actor.Later, he made a series of movies adapted from "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", which won the box office title for three years before becoming a top-tier celebrity.

After becoming popular, he cherishes feathers a lot, and would rather not make a movie than accept scripts randomly.Especially in this chaotic film and television market, apart from making cakes for actors, there are almost no roles suitable for middle-aged men in their 40s, unless they use their old faces to show off their tenderness and play roles in their twenties.

After the epidemic, he took on two gift films with the main theme.

As soon as Meng Ran sat down, he first cast a teasing look at Xi Muyu, and then stretched out his hand to Zhuang Yisheng, "Hi, I'm Meng Ran. Are you Zhuang Yisheng?"

Zhuang Yisheng then said: "I have admired you for a long time. I have watched several of your movies."

Hearing this, Meng Ran raised his eyebrows, glanced at Xi Muyu first, then stroked his chin and said, "Don't it be the Liaozhai series?"

Zhuang Yisheng was surprised, "How do you know?"

Meng Ran put on a half-smile: "Because this is the only series that Lao Xi and I collaborated on."

Zhuang Yisheng poured wine for him: "...you can't say that."

Meng Ran smiled: "Then have you seen my other movies?"

Zhuang Yisheng: "..."

A silence can often explain many things.

Xi Muyu was very happy to be coaxed by the two of them, his eyes were full of smiles, until Zhuang Yisheng kicked his leg, he formally introduced the two of them to ease the embarrassment of the scene.

In his introduction, Meng Ran is a bad friend who has had little contact with each other, and Zhuang Yisheng is a former junior, a very special friend.

The matter between them, Xi Muyu had already talked about it like beans in a bamboo tube, Meng Ran knew it clearly, and teased deliberately during the dinner, "How special is it?"

Zhuang Yisheng coughed twice, drinking strategically, and concealed: "It's just a friend."

Xi Muyu sneered, "You say so." With that look, he almost called Zhuang Yisheng a scumbag.

So, Zhuang Yisheng added another sentence, "It's just that I like Teacher Xi unilaterally, and I'm trying to catch up with him."

Meng Ran recalled that Xi Muyu told him this morning: "People are very passionate about me. They are shy when they see me, and they hide when they are ashamed. They have been hiding for several days. That small appearance, shit, it's just a person who sees me." Can't take it."

Xi Muyu's solo mother has been solo, and finally fell in love at the age of 31. It was the first time that the old iron tree had blossomed. When listening to their friends chatting, they would frown and say: "I can't smell the sour smell of your love."

Now, not to mention the whole body, even a phone call can accurately convey the temperament of "you must know the sweetness of my love".

He euphemistically reminded: "It must not be easy for a young boy in the entertainment industry to be popular for three years in a row. Be careful and don't fall for it."

What did Xi Muyu say at the time?

"He's not like that."

Before saying a word, he laughed sullenly, "I will admit it if I fall."

Then he praised people for their good acting skills and strong plasticity. In this impetuous circle of fame and fortune, he is not impatient and has his own ideas.

Of course Meng Ran didn't believe it.

What can these little fresh meats pursue?After money and fame?

What kind of shit pursuit is this?

As for acting skills, Meng Ran, who regards acting as his life and his lifelong artistic pursuit, believes that comparing acting skills with these young peanuts is an insult to the word acting.

Of course, these are off topic.

These friends are very curious about Zhuang Yisheng, wanting to know how divine a real person is, to accept such a difficult beast as Xi Muyu.Since everyone else was busy, he was the entrusted representative to take a look when he was free.

Looking at it, no matter how many layers of sour love filters Xi Muyu put on when he praised people, just what he said just now, it can be seen that Xi Muyu is not a human being.

Good guy.

When talking on the phone with them, it seems that they are in a state of passionate love.

In front of Ren Xiaoxianrou, he still puts on airs and makes people chase him.Even if people avoid him, they still have to take care of his face in front of others...

fuck.

Meng Ran didn't hold back, chatted casually during the dinner, talked about daily life, and when the three of them walked out of the box together after dinner, he deliberately grabbed Xi Muyu's arm, and said in a low voice: "You Where can I find such a baby?"

Xi Muyu smiled, and the originally gentle and abstinent Kaolin Flower suddenly became quite natural, one word, it is wave!

He was about to speak when Meng Ran opened his mouth first: "Don't, don't tell, I don't want to know."

However, in the aftermath, he was forced to know all the "love details" between Xi Muyu and Zhuang Yisheng, including how cute the bed and kiss scenes are, how attractive the acting is, and so on.

To say the sweetness of love, he felt it at close range.

But acting?

How thick of a lover's filter did Xi Muyu wear to think that an idol actor's acting skills are fascinating?Is love so depressing?

Zhuang Yisheng was in front, not deaf, so he was naturally forced to listen to his "pursuit of Xi Muyu", wishing he could sneak in through a crack.

He pursued Xi Muyu?not at all.

However, those remarks were also made by him himself in order to maintain his true love fans, and he personally did it in order to make the other party feel uncomfortable when he posted them.

It is impossible to refute.

At this time, it is very necessary to display a little deaf and dumb spirit of "close my little ears and I can't hear anything", and a fearless spirit of "as long as I am shameless and embarrassing".

When Xi Muyu praised his acting skills, he could clearly feel Meng Ran's disapproval.

A little uncomfortable, but it's hard to say anything.

If it was in the past, he would have been sulking, because he could have done it but didn't. Those eyes and remarks that looked down on him and criticized him seemed to keep poking at the sore feet.

Now, his artistic pursuit has found an outlet in this movie, so there is nothing to do.

Meng Ran came to visit Xi Muyu specially.

He is in the same circle as Director Hu, Lao Xue, and Xi Muyu, so naturally they want to have a meal together.In the evening, before Xi Muyu opened his mouth, Old Xue spoke first.

"Call Yi Sheng together."

Meng Ran laughed, "Are you all poisoned by him?"

Lao Xue shook his head with a smile, and said: "He is very rare. Such a popular little fresh meat, he is willing to let Lao Hu retake over and over again. It is cold, and he never complains. Send out warming posts, and often buy hot drinks for everyone. There is nothing to say about business ability and conduct. It’s just that when I met this bastard, Lao Xi, I would play with it whenever I had nothing to do.”

Xi Muyu smiled, "Boyfriend doesn't need to tease him, why should he just watch?"

Director Hu pushed the glasses on his face, and said something completely out of character with a simple and honest face: "Stop being a prostitute, you are the most coquettish."

Meng Ran only thought that they were giving Zhuang Yisheng face.

In the evening, in a private restaurant that specializes in mutton, after pushing and changing glasses, the wine was full, and there was something in the conversation: "The most important thing for an actor is to calm down and study acting skills, and everything else comes second. If I got hurt a little, I recited the script on time, and I boasted of my dedication.”

The director Zhuang Yisheng once worked with, because Zhuang Yisheng was too picky, had a few yin and yang words in an interview, saying that he was "very dedicated, even if he was injured, he would not change his substitute", "The scripts are all memorized in advance, and the opponent actors are required to Recite the lines", "Often ask to do it again"...

He almost directly said that he "delayed the progress of the filming because of too much fuss".

Then the media only regarded Zhuang Yisheng as "dedicated", so Zhuang Yisheng's public relations team naturally marketed in the direction of professionalism.

Later, at the celebration banquet, Zhuang Yisheng once heard the director and others make complaints about——

"Does he know that this is a commercial film to make money! Are the audience watching his acting skills? They are watching their faces!"

"It's obvious that just showing your face, going through a cutscene and dubbing later can get the job done, but he just wants to follow the standard of the movie, and he doesn't weigh it. Is he making a movie?"

"If you really have such a request, if you have the ability to make a movie!"

"Everyone has to work overtime. If the deadline is really missed, he is not the one who dares to be scolded and take the blame! If there is enough time, who the hell wouldn't want to make a good film? Can TV dramas and movies have the same requirements?"

As soon as Zhuang Yisheng's "dedication" was hotly searched, the old actors couldn't sit still. They said directly in an interview: "Nowadays, some young actors say they are dedicated after memorizing the script. Is that called dedication? That's what you should do." Yes, can you go to the battlefield without a gun?"

They even shot at a group of fresh meat and flowers set up by dedicated people who posted injuries on Weibo and memorized scripts in advance.

Hearing Meng Ran's words, it was obvious that Zhuang Yisheng was connoting him. Old Xue hurriedly turned his elbow on him, frowned and said, "What are you talking about! After drinking two more cups, you will become old again. No wonder fans say that you have become more and more fatherly in the past two years. heavier."

Even when he had nothing to do with Xi Muyu, Zhuang Yisheng had also cultivated a good self-restraint over the years.

He smiled and said, "Teacher Meng is right."

Xi Muyu sneered, "Listen to him. Now is not the time for him to sell professionalism. Back then, his various photos and documentaries were all about injuries, and they were considered meritorious deeds. Whenever there was an interview, he would chatter and give it back. People show their wounds."

In the middle of a meal, Zhuang Yisheng went to the bathroom to drain the water. When he came out, Xi Muyu was standing on one leg and leaning against the wall, with the other long leg bent in front of the other leg, with his toes on the ground, and a cigarette lit between his fingers .

His eyebrows were lowered, and under the warm yellow light, his expression looked extraordinarily gentle, "Are you angry?"

Zhuang Yisheng said honestly: "A little bit, but not that angry."

Seeing Xi Muyu's serious look, he smiled, "Mr. Xi, I was born in an online drama. After becoming popular, I have never stopped idol dramas and variety shows. If this is the case, I have heard that there are eight if not ten cars. And the media asked me face to face what I think. I can only say what I think, but I can only say that I need to learn from my predecessors."

He lowered his head and whispered, "Shall I vent your anger for you?"

Just now Xi Muyu had already teased Meng Ran, Zhuang Yisheng didn't want to hurt Xi Muyu and his friend because of this trivial matter.

But at this moment, seeing Xi Muyu's elegant, slender figure and handsome appearance, he couldn't help but leaned over to flirt with him, "How do you vent your anger?"

"What do you say?"

The two were very close, their breaths blended together, and the warm breath sprayed on each other's pretty faces, making them look particularly ambiguous.

Xi Muyu lowered his head, his eyes were all on his rosy lips, almost kissing them.
