Soot, Moonlight, Vodka

As Lu Xingze's childhood friend, Fu Meng had quite a lot of information on hand.

When someone closest to you betrays you, the damage must be enormous.

"In fact, he is very timid and likes to pretend. There was a test of courage in junior high school. There was a haunted house or something. Some people in the class said that our Young Master Lu would definitely not dare to go. He is not convinced. He wants to prove that he has talent."

"And then?" Chen Zhuo stirred the coffee.

Lu Xingze recalled this passage, and silently buried his face in his palms.

"Then our Young Master Lu used his power to find out which students were in charge of pretending to be ghosts, and then contacted them privately, offering a generous reward, hoping they would let him go." Fu Meng laughed.

"I didn't expect that group of students who pretended to be ghosts to be very dedicated. They justly rejected his bribe and said, We don't want your money, we have professional ethics!"

Chen Zhuo couldn't help but cast a glance at Lu Xingze. Lu Xingze gave him a look for help, with "Help me" written all over his face.

"Then, our clever Young Master Lu changed his mind a bit, and he temporarily joined the members who pretend to be ghosts! He even dragged me along."

"Indeed, ambushing others in the dark is safer than waiting to be ambushed." Chen Zhuo said solemnly.

"Well, the only failure is that many female students are not afraid of him at all, and want to stage a 'ghost love affair with him' with him." Fu Meng recalled: "The haunted house activities were very lively that year, and everyone wanted to see the school girl pretending to be a ghost. Then because there were too many people, he was scared, hahahahaha... He hid in the bathroom and dared not come out, and there were all classmates knocking on the door outside. He had no choice but to call and ask me to come and save him."

"Hahaha..." Chen Zhuo laughed while clutching his stomach.

Imagining little Lu Xingze's bewildered look, Chen Zhuo felt pitiful and cute.

Lu Xingze came over and covered Chen Zhuo's ears. He lowered his head slightly, and put his hot cheek against Chen Zhuo's ear, shyly refusing to let him listen.

"Also, when I was in high school..." Fu Meng went on and on.

"You still want to talk about high school?!" Lu Xingze raised his head abruptly, in disbelief: "Can you impress me in front of my partner—"

"Sinners have no image!" Fu Meng said solemnly, "The execution continues!"

"Wow……"

The room was filled with laughter for a moment.

From autumn to winter, Chen Zhuo and Lu Xingze spent a rare leisure time.

When Chen Zhuo was alone, he disliked autumn and winter the most. Winter was cold, and autumn was the prelude to winter. As the days became bleak day by day, he always wanted to work in the busiest places where people come and go. The hustle and bustle dilutes the inner loneliness.

After being with Lu Xingze, the situation became different again. Chen Zhuo became fond of autumn and winter. Being able to stay with the person he likes in such a lonely season gives him a stronger sense of happiness than spring and summer.

The four-month-old puppy they raised together was named Xue Gao, and it looked like a ball of fine snow. When Chen Zhuo held it in his arms, it closed its black eyes that were as bright as lychee kernels, and looked at it. Sleeping peacefully in the arms of the owner.

Once, two people played with ice cream with a small ball, ice cream accidentally scratched the small ball, this gold and purple ball is its favorite toy, it sadly put the ball into the owner's hand, humming Rubbing the master's wrist, feeling wronged and sad.

The old ball cannot be repaired, so it can only be changed into a small decoration and placed in the kennel. Chen Zhuo bought an identical one for it, but Ice Cream didn’t like the new ball, so he tried every means to hide the new ball and didn’t want to see it. It, Chen Zhuo put away the new ball.

On Sunday morning, Chen Zhuo watched his new play "Love" on the terrace and took notes.

The response to this new drama was unexpectedly good, mainly because it was beyond the expectations of the industry and the audience. Everyone agrees that the production team of "Love" is quite average, the script is not good, and the leading actor is not in shape. .

However, when it was actually broadcast, Chen Zhuo's acting skills and his cooperation with the heroine were so brilliant that they raised the quality of the whole show. Coupled with the previous storm of substitutes, the discussion and attention of the whole show also increased. quite big.

Chen Zhuo is used to rewatching his own works for review, especially after the drama series are launched on online video platforms, many platforms have barrage functions, which can more intuitively see the audience's thoughts.

"The actor's acting skills that penetrate the screen! Help! The girl's heart has been saved again!"

"I'm so happy, so relieved, my mother is such a big boy, my mother knows you won't be slumped."

"I can't stand it anymore. Isn't this a pure and disgusting person? Boss Chen, how long ago has your lover passed away, and you acted like this? Wow, it's so true, are you still human?"

"Don't watch it if you don't like it. You insist on watching it yourself, and then you scold me after watching it. Isn't it a bit serious?"

"The filming is for me to watch. If I want to see it, I will watch it. If I don't like it, I will scold him. What? If he dares to make a film, he must think clearly about the consequences of the filming?"

……

noisy again.

Lu Xingze carried the clothes to dry into the bedroom, passed by the terrace, glanced at Chen Zhuo's screen, stepped back, and stretched out his left hand to cover the screen: "What a mess."

"Distressed?" Chen Zhuo grabbed Lu Xingze's hand, paused the video, and looked up at him.

Lu Xingze under the autumn sun, the light beige sweater glowed with warm velvet, and the clothes in his arms exuded a light and dry fragrance.

"It's easy for them to move their fingers." Lu Xingze frowned slightly.

Chen Zhuo pinched Lu Xingze's cheek, and smiled warmly: "Someone will be dissatisfied no matter what."

Some time ago, Chen Zhuo was not in good condition. Some people scolded him for his declining acting skills. Now that he is in good condition, some people complained that he recovered too quickly and acted in romantic dramas, which is disrespectful to the deceased Lu Xingze.

Ever since Chen Zhuo made his debut, the controversy on him has never stopped. Who made Lu Xingze his biggest benefactor and Lu Xingze his biggest scandal?

Chen Zhuo simply lives on the cusp.

Lu Xingze bent down and buried his head on Chen Zhuo's shoulder: "I pushed you into the film and television industry at the beginning, if you are tired, it doesn't matter if you retire."

The current Chen Zhuo is different from the past, he has a way out, even if he does nothing, he can still live the rest of his life safely.

"The most difficult time has passed." Chen Zhuo replied to Lu Xingze: "I like acting."

Chen Zhuo has feelings for acting career.This is the business Lu Xingze gave him, and he has always hoped to manage it well.

Chen Zhuo seldom gets anything, and when he gets it, he will cherish it very much.

Lu Xingze is different, he has everything from birth, family background, appearance, talent.Later, the people and feelings he cherished most were destroyed by his own hands.

When Lu Xingze put the clothes into the closet, the phone rang in the bedroom.

It's Ji Ming's call.

"I just received the news that someone is going to attack Mr. Chen, dig up some old things, and add more fuel, saying that he wants to ruin his reputation."

Lu Xingze frowned: "For Director Zhang's movie?"

"Well, Director Zhang's "Death Without Disease" is a piece of fat, and everyone is staring at it. Mr. Chen was a well-deserved number one male before, so naturally no one dared to say anything. For hope, he tried every means to put pressure on Director Zhang, wanting Director Zhang to change the male lead, but Director Zhang refused to change. Now that Mr. Chen is about to join the group, many people were anxious, so they wanted to take a gamble and pull Mr. Chen away completely. Come down, they can also use the vacated resources..."

Lu Xingze listened silently, he thought, this is not a problem with the hero of a movie at all.

The fight for the male lead position is just the tip of the iceberg. The essence is that after he "death", the person who wants to step on Chen Zhuo's superior position is eager to move, and can no longer hold back.

Chen Zhuo has no foundation in the film and television industry. Although he has his own strong support, he has a pure heart and limited energy. He spends a lot of time honing his acting skills, and has no time or ability to deal with intrigues in the industry.

Even if I choose a good team for him, it won't be enough for all the tigers and wolves to take turns to take turns to catch him by surprise.

Chen Zhuo never told himself about the difficulties and sufferings he encountered, and never let himself worry.

Maybe this is the environment he grew up in. Everyone in the family is very difficult, so don't tell others about your own difficulties to make others unhappy.

On the other hand, Lu Xingze, he only cared about his own mood and feelings a lot of the time, caring about not being hurt... Since when did he become like this?Or, is this kind of person in his bones?

Lu Xingze squeezed the phone, without saying a word.

"What's wrong? His complexion is so bad." Chen Zhuo didn't know when he appeared beside him, holding a glass of warm water: "Uncomfortable?"

Chen Zhuo's eyebrows were gentle, and he didn't know how many people secretly attacked him again, targeting him, waiting to tear his flesh and blood and gnaw his bones.

"No way," Lu Xingze put on an impeccable smiling face, and put his cheek against Chen Zhuo's palm: "I just thought that there is a place that is especially suitable for you to find new plays."

Chen Zhuo cast a curious look.
