Soon, Zu Qi's attention was focused on the word "you".

again?

He paused, suddenly realized something, and then he even stuttered: "I, when did I have a nightmare?"

"The day you first joined the film crew, we videoed all night." Xue Jue seemed to recall something, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "At that time, you were talking in your sleep."

Zu Qi sat up from the bed in a jerk. He guessed what he was talking about in his sleep based on his dream. He was so ashamed that the top of his head was steaming for a while, wishing he could disappear in front of the camera on the spot.

Although he had already guessed the ending in his heart, Zu Qi still held on to the last ray of hope, and asked in a dying struggle: "What did I talk about in my sleep?"

Hearing this, Xue Jue couldn't hide the curvature of the corner of his mouth. He looked softly at Zu Qi who was blushing on the screen, until Zu Qi glared at him pretending to be angry. Then he put his fist on his lips and coughed twice. He cleared his throat.

Just when Zu Qi thought that Xue Jue would say the content directly, he heard him suddenly say: "Guess what you said?"

Zu Qi: "...if I can guess it, what do you do?"

Xue Jue was immediately amused by Zu Qi's words, burst into laughter, then restrained his smile, and said solemnly: "Not only did you call me by my name, you also kept saying that you liked me."

Zu Qi: "..." He reluctantly believed the previous words, but the latter sounds too false.

He didn't confess his love to Xue Jue in the dream at all, okay?

In the dream, Xue Jue resolutely walked forward without turning his head. He didn't even have time to chase him. How could he have the energy to say something else?

Seeing Zu Qi froze with black lines on the screen, Xue Jue thought that the other party believed it, and couldn't help laughing again, so he added embellishment and said: "You just say you like it, and you force me to say it too, I If you don't say it, you will argue for a divorce."

Zu Qi: "..."

Now Zu Qi didn't believe Xue Jue's words at all. Even if he guessed with his toes, he knew that Xue Jue was lying. Zu Qi was silent for a moment, and wanted to ask Xue Jue if it was interesting to say that.

However, before he had time to say it, Xue Jue said again: "Since you want to hear it so much, then I'll say it again."

"???" Zu Qi was confused.

"Zu Qi." Xue Jue suddenly called his name, and then raised his eyes to look at the camera above the phone.

Xue Jue's eyes are extremely beautiful. The dark and bright pupils are like stars twinkling in the sky, and countless broken starlights are reflected in them, more like a black hole with no bottom to be seen. In this instant, Zu Qi's entire consciousness and thoughts are absorbed Get it clean.

There was a distance of half a city between them, but at this moment, Zu Qi had the illusion that Xue Jue was watching him with his own eyes.

It seemed that Xue Jue was right in front of him.

Zu Qi subconsciously straightened his body. He held the phone high in his right hand, and leaned back slightly until his back touched the head of the bed. Only then did he feel that a heart that was hanging high in the sky fell into reality.

"En?" Zu Qi made a soft nasal sound, "Why?"

"I like you." Xue Jue said.

"..." Zu Qi quietly glanced at him in the small video box on the upper right of the screen, and sure enough, his whole face was red like a monkey's butt, and his expression was even more embarrassing and bewildered.

"I like you." Xue Jue's deep voice was full of teasing, he squinted his eyes, and smiled narrowly, "Now I'll ask you, do you like me?"

Zu Qi swallowed, his heart beating wildly in his chest seemed to be on fire, the scorching sensation spread along the nerves to his limbs and bones, he suddenly felt stuffy and panicked.

It may be that the heating in the room is turned on too much.

Zu Qi reached out and picked up the remote control placed beside the pillow, turned off the heater, and then returned to the camera with a blushing face. Xue Jue on the opposite side did not rush him, but propped his chin with one hand, waiting patiently for his response. respond.

In the end, Zu Qi said shamelessly, "Didn't I say it in my dream? We're even."

"..." Xue Jue noticed that he seemed to have dug a hole for himself, but he quickly reacted, and immediately retorted, "What you say in a dream doesn't count, I want to hear you say it when you are awake."

In fact, Xue Jue is a very Buddhist person, and he is indifferent to most things, but this time, he seems determined to hear those four words from Zu Qi.

If Zu Qi was embarrassed to say it, he would have been waiting, as if he wanted to wait until Zu Qi said it himself.

The two of them just stared at each other through the mobile phone until little Deng Zi knocked on the door and called Zu Qi to get up, then Zu Qi said quickly: "I like you."

Xue Jue: "Who likes me?"

Zu Qi immediately said: "You like me."

Xue Jue laughed dumbfounded, but couldn't help but feel helpless. He paused for a while before speaking half-threateningly: "If you play tricks again, believe it or not, I will rush to your crew right now and let you speak in front of my face."

"..." Zu Qi hesitated, "I like you..."

Xue Jue squinted and smiled: "Good boy."

Zu Qi's cheeks were hot, he pursed his lips, and his voice was as soft as a mosquito: "Little Deng Zi is knocking on the door."

"En." Xue Jue said, "Go."

After hanging up the video, Zu Qi suddenly realized that Xue Jue had stayed in front of the video all night without sleeping...

He was suddenly a little dazed, and it took a long time before he was awakened by intermittent knocks on the door. He hurriedly got out of bed, put on his slippers and ran to open the door.

……

The shooting task in the morning was very heavy. Zu Qi and Qiao Yiyang needed to shoot a water fight scene on the lake. Since it was an indoor shooting, the actors were wearing unseasonable spring clothes, and they were all rubbing their arms so cold that they were terribly cold.

It snowed all night last night, and it took the staff more than two hours to clear away the surrounding snow.

Zu Qi was wrapped in a thick down jacket, and shivered in front of the warm little sun to keep warm. Although he had wrapped himself tightly from head to toe, it was still very cold, and he wished he could get directly into the little sun.

When everything was ready, the makeup artist also finished Zu Qi's makeup. He took off the down jacket and the cover on his head, and suddenly felt a cold wind rushing towards his face, and directly drilled into his heart along his skin.

Zu Qi couldn't help but shuddered, bit the bullet and forced himself to quickly enter the state.

After four hours of high-intensity shooting, Zu Qi felt that his body was about to collapse from the cold. When Director Wang called to stop, he couldn't wait to put on the down jacket handed over by Xiao Dengzi.

"Zu Qi!" Director Wang held the script wrapped in a roll and was watching the filmed clips. He shouted, "Come here."

Zu Qi knew that Director Wang was going to give him "classes" again, so he turned his head and greeted Qiao Yiyang who was waiting for him by the side, and then ran towards Director Wang.

Although Director Wang is very casual in life, he always strives to achieve the most perfect state in his work. He is also a well-known detail-picking fanatic in the circle. He pointed out Zu Qi's performance circle just now, and give corresponding suggestions.

That said, it's half an hour.

When Zu Qi returned to the lounge in a daze, the lunch box Xiao Dengzi left for him on the table was already completely cold.

Today, Zu Qi’s food is still provided by his fans when he is filming. I heard that fans from both sides fought overtly and secretly for the right to give Zu Qi a lunch box. A box lunch was held at a high price of 800 yuan.

Perhaps Zu Qi's intake of nutrients in those days was too rich, not to mention gaining weight, and he often had nosebleeds during filming. Qiao Yiyang's personal doctor only said that Zu Qi ate too well.

So the next day, the fans of the two parties began to work hard on the health of the lunch boxes. In short, the people in the crew were amazed and envied the two fairy fans that Zu Qi picked up from somewhere.

Only Director Wang, who learned the inside story, shed tears of sadness.

Zu Qi opened the lid of the lunch box, which contained both meat and vegetables, and there was a bowl of warm broth underneath, and the rice was also specially selected high-quality coarse grains.

He sniffed and sat down at the table, then picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, suddenly he couldn't swallow.

Although the box lunches during this period seem to be not as expensive as before, they will not be so cheap, and they are in long-term supply. Fans with average economic conditions will definitely not be able to afford this money.

Zu Qi recalled the few fans who interacted with him the most on Weibo, and found that those little girls seemed to be students at school, and they didn't like him so enthusiastically that they chased the crew.

As for his fan club...

The number of fans does not exceed 30, and the number of active fans does not exceed [-]. It hurts to say it, so let's not mention it.

Zu Qi thought for a while but couldn't find a suitable candidate. He sighed and shook his head lightly. Suddenly he heard a knock on the door, and when he looked up, he saw Qiao Yiyang, who was also wrapped in rice dumplings, pushing the door and entering.

"Are you eating?" Qiao Yiyang approached, peeked his head into Zu Qi's lunch box, and frowned, "It's already cold."

Zu Qi smiled: "It's okay, we're almost done eating."

"Don't eat it when it's cold. What if something goes wrong with eating in such a cold day?" Qiao Yiyang patted Zu Qi on the shoulder and pulled him up from the chair. Come eat with us."

Knowing that Qiao Yiyang was referring to asking Zhou Hai to start a small stove, Zu Qi waved his hands flattered and said, "Thank you, thank you, but you don't need to be so troublesome. It's not easy for Brother Zhou to cook every day."

"It's just a few more pairs of chopsticks. Let Deng Xun and Duan Kai come too in the future. There are so many people."

Deng Xun is Xiao Dengzi's full name. Many people never thought that Xiao Dengzi, who looks honest and honest, has such a Korean name.

As he said, Qiao Yiyang dragged Zu Qi into his lounge without any refusal. Everyone except Zhou Hai had finished the boxed lunch provided by logistics. Zhou Hai wore a cute cartoon apron in front of him, and held a plate of fragrant dishes on the table.

Seeing Zu Qi who was awkwardly following behind Qiao Yiyang, Zhou Hai smiled so that the flesh on his face trembled, as if he was meeting his family members.

"Here we come." Zhou Hai hurriedly said, "Sit down quickly, wipe your hands with a wet tissue first, and dinner will be ready soon."

I have to admit that Zhou Hai is really good at frying home-cooked dishes. Although the fried dishes are very ordinary, they are quite good for dinner. Zu Qi ate two bowls of white rice with the dishes to feel full.

Before Zu Qi heard from Zhou Hai that Qiao Yiyang's anorexia had improved a lot, he didn't ask in detail at that time, but now seeing it with his own eyes, he understands where Zhou Hai's gratitude to him comes from.

Qiao Yiyang actually ate three bowls of rice without stopping!

Zu Qi was stunned.

In the end, both Zu Qi and Zhou Hai had finished eating, and the two of them sat on the side without saying a word, watching Qiao Yiyang who was still eating slowly, Zu Qi was shocked, but Zhou Hai was holding his chin with his fingers interlaced , with a happy face.

Zu Qi silently glanced at Zhou Hai, and suddenly didn't know how to react, so he had to continue acting as a transparent person: "..."

After another half an hour, Qiao Yiyang finally finished his meal, and when he took the tissue from Zhou Hai to wipe his mouth, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Zu Qi's expression, realized something, and smiled embarrassedly: "Scared!" Is it with you?"

Zu Qi couldn't deny it: "It's true."

A trace of confusion flashed in Qiao Yiyang's eyes: "I don't know why, I used to see so many doctors and went to famous hospitals at home and abroad, but my anorexia couldn't be cured, and now I ate the food grown by your friend , but it has an effect so quickly."

Zu Qi suddenly became a little nervous. He thought Qiao Yiyang would ask how the mushrooms and apples were grown, but Qiao Yiyang smiled and said, "It seems that you and I are very destined."

"..." Zu Qi twitched the corners of his mouth, but didn't speak.

Qiao Yiyang said again: "Let's have dinner together in the future. You don't want money, and I don't know how to repay you. I can only compete with your fans to solve your dining problem."

Zu Qi raised his eyes and met Qiao Yiyang's sincere and sincere eyes, and his heart moved. It just so happened that he didn't really want to make those two fans spend money, but it was difficult for him to refuse because Director Wang was in the middle of persuasion.

"I will trouble you in the future." Zu Qi smiled.

……

So after that day, Zu Qi took Xiao Deng Zi and Duan Kai to occupy half of the table, while Qiao Yiyang and Zhou Hai sat on the other half.

Having a meal with a partner is a common thing in any production crew. When the director heard that Zu Qi had gone to Qiao Yiyang's for dinner, he nodded and said nothing. He only remembered to tell Director Wang about it after he was done with work.

Unexpectedly, Director Wang stood up from the rocking chair excitedly after listening to the assistant's words.

"You just let him go like this?" Director Wang slapped the table with hatred, gritted his teeth and glared at the assistant, as if he was going to swallow him in one gulp in the next second.

Daozhu was so frightened that his face turned pale, he shrank his neck pitifully like a frightened quail, and said aggrievedly: "But, even if I disagree, Zu, Zu Qi may not listen to me."

"You still have the nerve to say it!" Director Wang said angrily, "Then have you persuaded him? You haven't! Just let him go!"

The assistant said in a low voice: "I didn't know that you didn't want Zu Qi to eat with Teacher Qiao. If I knew, I would stop it no matter what..."

"..." Director Wang fell silent, sighed deeply casually, rested his forehead and sat back on the rocking chair with a vicissitudes on his face, and waved to the assistant at the same time, "Forget it, let's go."

Daozhu looked aggrieved and left inexplicably.

Back in the lounge, Daozhu felt more and more uncomfortable as he thought about it, and his eyes turned red. It happened that the boy who just came back from work and a little girl from the props team saw Daozhu's appearance and surrounded him with concern.

At first, the assistant didn't want to disclose the content of the conversation between her and Director Wang, but after being comforted by others in turn, she still talked about most of it, and cried: "I didn't expect Director Wang to dislike Zu Qi so much, and he didn't even allow Zu Qi Have dinner with Teacher Qiao."

Xiao Tong and Heng Jingchen knew each other. After Heng Jingchen asked her to help Zu Qi a lot during the interview, she also knew Zu Qi's personality. Qi has a very good personality, he can bear hardships and stand hard work, and never loses his temper. Director Wang asked him to make up the secondary scenes [-] or [-] times before, and he was not at all impatient."

Another girl said cautiously: "Actually, I can probably understand Director Wang's thoughts. After all, Zu Qi and Teacher Qiao are not on the same level. If Zu Qi offends Teacher Qiao, Director Wang will be the one who will be in trouble in the end."

"But Director Wang can't bully people like this!" Daozhu said angrily.

"Maybe Director Wang is also thinking about himself and the crew." The girl sighed, and then she suddenly remembered something, and her expression became more sad, "But having said that, I don't think Zu Qi's character and acting skills are uploaded online. It's so bad, why do people slander him so much? Those people still say..."

Halfway through speaking, the girl suddenly stopped.

The little boy bumped the girl a few times with his elbow, and urged, "Don't gasp when you speak, what did those people say?"

"They also said..." The girl hesitated for a while, but she couldn't control her gossiping heart. "Xue Jue and Zu Qi are a fake marriage. They look like a couple on the surface, but they are actually playing their own way in private."

The assistant exclaimed: "Really? Mr. Xue and Zu Qi are not like that kind of people."

"I don't know if it's true or not. It's all spread on the Internet." The girl frowned and said, "And what those people say is well-founded, with pictures and texts, it looks like it's true."

"That's right, that's right, I saw it too, it was sent by a few skinny marketing accounts!" A passing girl joined in enthusiastically, and provided some more aggressive information, "There is also a marketing account saying that Zu Qi and our nationals Husband met at a private party... No, they didn't know each other at that time, they just rolled together when they were drunk, and Zu Qi was pregnant soon Raised a child, took the child to threaten the national husband..."

A group of girls discussed with gusto, but the more Xiaotong listened to it, the more absurd he felt, and he couldn't listen anymore. He told them to shut up harshly, and warned them not to spread these false rumors.

A few girls curled their lips, dissatisfied with the boy's attitude, and knowing that it was wrong to refute anything, they broke up unhappy.

Although Xiaotong has repeatedly reminded several girls, she still underestimated the gossip-seeking psychology of human beings. In just two or three days, Zu Qi's black history on the Internet has spread to the gossip circle of the crew.

Fortunately, Zu Qi usually behaves well, has a peaceful temper and rarely refuses others' requests for help. After a long time, everyone has a very good impression of him, so that after such an incident, everyone's only reaction is to sympathize with him.

"After all, such an unpleasant incident happened before, Xue Jue must not give him a good face, right? Hey, I think Zu Qi is a really nice person. I guess he just wanted to take a shortcut because he was confused..."

"You don't even think about the situation Zu Qi was in at that time. He was dumped by Shi Hao, and he was robbed of so many resources by Tang Mourning. If he hadn't been cornered, no one would be willing to do that kind of thing."

"It's no wonder the Xue family held the full moon wine for the child so late. I don't think the Xue family pays much attention to Zu Qi and the child."

"I don't know that the Xue family doesn't value their children. Anyway, I can see that Xue Jue doesn't value Zu Qi very much. After all, their son was also born by Zu Qi's pregnancy, right? But Xue Jue never posts photos of Zu Qi on Weibo. Even when their son was full moon, they only posted pictures of their son, it was obvious that he didn't like Zu Qi at all."

"So we should seldom mention Mr. Xue in front of Zu Qi, and stop poking his sad things, hey..."

For a while, Zu Qi became the key protection object of the whole crew.

Even Qiao Yiyang and Zhou Hai carefully avoided sensitive topics such as family and partners when speaking.

One day when Zhou Hai accidentally mentioned his wife and daughter, Qiao Yiyang glared at him fiercely. Zhou Hai suddenly fell silent like a cock being strangled by someone.

Holding the bowl and chopsticks, Zu Qi looked at Zhou Hai strangely for a long time, and suddenly asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Zhou Haiqiang said with a smile: "I'm fine, I'm fine."

Zu Qi saw Zhou Hai's reaction in his eyes, avoided Zhou Hai afterwards, and quietly asked Qiao Yiyang: "Is Brother Zhou's family not going well recently?"

"..." Qiao Yiyang looked at Zu Qi very speechlessly. Seeing that the other party's eyes were clear and he really knew nothing, he gritted his teeth and made up an extremely tragic story for Zhou Hai, and solemnly told Zu Qi, " Marriage and children should not occupy our whole life, we should look further afield."

Zu Qi was confused: "For example?"

"For example..." Qiao Yiyang thought for a while, "Career!"

Zu Qi benefited a lot, nodded firmly and said: "I understand, I will work hard in my career!"

Seeing this, Qiao Yiyang patted Zu Qi on the back with great relief: "It's good that you understand, go."

Recently, Zu Qi often went to Tang Yukuan's farm by himself. Transferring the land required a lot of complicated procedures. Zu Qi didn't want Xiao Dengzi and Duan Kai to know about his purchase of the land for the time being, so he had to do many things by himself.

Fortunately, Tang Yukuan was more active than Zu Qi. It only took them a week to complete all the procedures, and the rest only needed to wait for the document notification from the relevant department.

During this period, Tang Yukuan has been living in a small house on the farm. After his father fell ill, he sold all the RVs under his name, and he is currently homeless.

Tang Yukuan's family property is very small, in his words, the only valuable things on his body are the organs in his body.

This afternoon, in front of Tang Yukuan, Zu Qi used his mobile phone to deposit all the balance into his account.

Tang Yukuan smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled. His tense expression did not relax a little after receiving the money. He looked around the room with complicated eyes, got up and said, "I'm moving out tonight."

Zu Qi said, "Wait a minute."

Tang Yukuan paused, turned his head pretending to be relaxed, and raised his eyebrows: "Are you reluctant to let me go? I am a person with a bottom line. I sell the land but not my body."

"..." Zu Qi was speechless, "Didn't I tell you before, there are some things I want to tell you in person."
