rumor

At the end of the summer, the rough-cut version of the movie "Skin" was released. The director booked a small screening hall and invited the leading actors and several industry insiders to come and have a sneak peek.

Jiang Ruo, as the number one male, must attend.

The filming of "The Actor's Flower Road" was just finished last month, and it was almost equivalent to a "retreat" shooting. Jiang Ruo, who came out of the recording studio, was like a bird released into nature, wandering around various gatherings and dinners.

Tang Jianian asked him to do facials together, Zhou Xinyao asked him to go to the farmhouse, Lin Xiao asked him to try on her newly developed makeup, and even Wei Chulin called him to ask if he had time to guest star in a stage play.

From the popularity of "Sun Moon Jingshan", to the high reputation of "The Cliff", and then to the finals of "The Actor's Flower Road", Jiang Ruo has played steadily, and his acting skills are increasing day by day, and his popularity is also rising.

The entertainment journalists were caught off guard and posted several photos of Jiang Ruo having dinner with the girl, shouting "How many good sisters do you have?"

Zheng Yiting thinks there is no need to clarify this, since she was photographed going in and out of the hotel, can't she just make friends normally?

Besides, with Jiang Ruo's current traffic, it's hard to say who is going to be popular.

Jiang Ruo was worried about damaging the reputation of several female stars, so he suggested, "Why don't I come out publicly?"

Zheng Yiting directly vetoed it: "The one who suffers is Chen Muxin, do you think your CP is not popular enough?"

Jiang Ruo: "..."

Jiang Ruo raised this concern when he and Wei Chulin made an appointment to chat about stage plays in a coffee shop.

Wei Chulin said indifferently: "What's the matter, these paparazzi see who is walking side by side with whom, and they can write the draft as if the two of them have already slept together. Could it be that our female stars can't sit with men for the rest of their lives?" Eating at a table?"

When Jiang Ruo heard it, she thought it made sense, and sighed, "It's not easy being a female star."

"Yeah, you have to manage your body well, otherwise you'll be accused of old age." Wei Chulin frowned, picked up black coffee, and poured it into her mouth like poison, "I see that all of you dancing are thin, turn around I'm going to practice too."

Next, the two chatted about the stage play.

It is an old theater troupe with a good reputation in Fengcheng. Wei Chulin trained in this troupe for two years after graduating from the Film Academy.

The book is newly written, Jiang Ruo flipped through it roughly, the plot is very interesting.

"What is missing is a male dancer, a very important role." Wei Chulin pointed to him on the script, "The technical requirements are also very high. I will send you a demonstration video later."

Jiang Ruo nodded: "However, I haven't been on stage for a long time. It's this kind of live performance. Unlike camera performances, which have a high fault tolerance rate, and if something goes wrong, you can still shoot again. This is..."

"Please be more confident, the future Cannes Best Actor." Wei Chulin said, "If you agree, it will be a blessing for their theater troupe. No matter how good the book is, it will be useless if no one gives attention."

Jiang Ruo smiled and said, "How come I'm the film king before I've been nominated, is Sister Wei painting cakes for me?"

"Let's leave it to Director Zhuang to draw it for you. Anyway, it's a pretty good character. I'll take the lead. It's up to you to go or not."

"Well, thank you, Miss Wei, I will think about it carefully."

Chen Muxin arrived when the chat was almost finished, and Wei Chulin glared at him as soon as she saw him: "Why are you in a hurry? Those who don't know think I'm going to eat Xiao Jiang."

Chen Muxin was chasing Jiang Ruo's matter, and the people around him knew it, so the two of them were already able to cope with such jokes.

"It's not that I'm in a hurry." Chen Muxin pointed to the wall clock on the wall, "The time is almost up, Star Jiang has to catch the next game."

"Greatly, you are his manager." Wei Chulin picked up her bag with a smile, "Then I'll go first."

This time I invited Chen Muxin to watch the rough cut of "Skins" because Director Zhuang proposed to let the actors bring friends from the circle to watch the movie, hoping to get some suggestions so that they can adjust the editing.

Among the friends in the circle and more professional, Jiang Ruo could only think of Chen Muxin and Wei Chulin.

Wei Chulin refused early in the morning, saying that she didn't want to have an affair with the future actor, and the popularity was not uncommon.So only Chen Muxin was left.

In fact, Jiang Ruo had other selfish motives in bringing Chen Muxin along.

There was a traffic jam on the road, and when the two arrived at the screening hall, it was almost full.

Among the crowd, Jiang Ruo immediately saw Xi Yufeng sitting in the middle right.

It is not surprising that he will appear here. After all, besides the investor, he is also one of the producers of this film, so he naturally wants to participate in the production of the film.

He was still dressed in a shirt and trousers, but this time he was wearing a black shirt, as if he blended into the dim environment.

This time, Jiang Ruo's seat was arranged in the front. When walking through the aisle, the moment their eyes met, Jiang Ruo, like before, nodded and smiled at Seat and Feng, with the same attitude as facing other people.

And Xi Yufeng looked at him and Chen Muxin next to him expressionlessly, and saw the two sitting in the front row with the backs of their heads very close to each other.

Then the lights dimmed and the movie started.

During the two hours of watching the movie, nothing happened.

As the film ended, Jiang Ruo heaved a sigh of relief, laughing at herself for making a fuss.He had already made it so clear last time, and he didn't come to him again for more than a month, so he must have accepted the result.

After the show, Jiang Ruo and Chen Muxin went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

"I left in a hurry last time, so I didn't even have time to pay the bill." Jiang Ruo proudly slapped the menu on the table, "This time I'm treating guests, so you can order whatever you want."

Chen Muxin smiled and said, "Then I'll open my belly, you're welcome."

That being said, I actually didn't order a few dishes, because I was afraid that two people who needed to keep in shape would not be able to finish it.

When it comes to losing weight, Chen Muxin said: "You seem to have lost weight recently, the way in the movie is just right."

"Skin" is a movie about human desires, and there are many scenes of naked bodies. Jiang Ruo's scalp tightened when he heard it: "Stop talking, I remembered that in Director Zhuang's crew, he asked everyone to use Salivating eyes look at me in those days."

"I guess that's a real reaction to beautiful things." Chen Muxin said, "If you want to get close to you, you don't need someone to teach you."

It's not that he didn't understand what he meant, Jiang Ruo smiled: "Really? Then I'll take it as you are praising me for a good performance."

It's not that I haven't considered choosing another path.

However, this time something went wrong.Just as the dishes were on the table, Jiang Ruo's cell phone rang, and the caller ID showed a series of familiar numbers.

Only then will you know who it is.

"Hi, Mr. Jiang, I'm Mr. Xi's assistant."

Jiang Ruo was stunned for a while: "Shizhu? What do you want from me?"

"That's right, Mr. Xi told me that you and him have an appointment to have dinner together, and asked if you have time now."

"I said I would invite him to dinner, but it's past dinner time."

"Mr. Xi has been very busy recently, and I can only be free today. If it's convenient for you..."

Holding the phone, Jiang Ruo felt in a dilemma.

But it was his promise to treat him to a meal, and the meal had been delayed for a long time, to the point where he had to honor it.

He also wanted to cash in as quickly as possible.

Then he said to the phone: "I'm having dinner with my friends, can I be late?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, it was ministering to ask for instructions.

After a while, Shi Mingxu's voice came again: "President Xi said yes, he will wait for you to finish eating."

"...where are you now?"

"It's just outside the restaurant where Mr. Jiang eats."

Hearing that Jiang Ruo looked towards the door, the commercial vehicle that Xi Yufeng was sitting in was parked there.

Putting the phone into his pocket, Chen Muxin asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Ruo greeted, "Eat, this fish tastes good when it's hot."

As an observant actor, Chen Muxin is also very sensitive to other people's emotional changes.

He looked out following Jiang Ruo's line of sight and asked, "Is that him?"

Jiang Ruo was stunned.

The expression said it all, Chen Muxin smiled: "No wonder..."

When the meal was almost finished, Chen Muxin put down his chopsticks: "Since someone is waiting for you, let's end this meal early."

Jiang Ruo was at a loss: "It's okay, I just owe him a meal."

"I should say it's okay. Since you have an appointment with him, I have no reason to make things difficult for you."

Chen Muxin glanced at the black car outside again: "However, he is too aggressive like this, and it was the same last time...Have you and him always gotten along like this?"

Because of these words, Jiang Ruo was still in the dark when he was sitting in the car.

Xi Yufeng also sat in the back seat, and when the car was on the road, he asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Jiang Ruo came to his senses and said, "I've eaten. And if I invite you to dinner, I should ask you what you want to eat."

"I want to eat your cooking." Xi Yufeng said without thinking.

"...Are you serious?"

"of course."

Jiang Ruo thought for a while: "Go to my place, there are pots and ingredients."

Xi Yufeng glanced at him and said, "Okay."

The car drove into the dilapidated alley in the old city and stopped by the low wall at the entrance of the alley.

After Jiang Ruo got out of the car, he took two steps and turned to look at the parking spot.

Xi Yufeng said when he was worried about being disturbed, "Lao Liu and Shi Mingxu are in the car."

Jiang Ruo shook his head, said nothing, and continued to walk deep into the alley.

He guessed that it was the first time for Xi and Feng to enter this kind of old-fashioned residential building, and the first time to take this kind of stairs that only enough for one person to pass.

The debris piled up by neighbors at the corner made the already narrow road even more cramped.Hearing the sound of something falling to the ground, Jiang Ruo turned around, and Xi Yufeng stood there with a cold face, with a waste cardboard box that fell from nowhere at his feet.

Entering the house is more spacious.Jiang Ruo asked Xi Yufeng to come in directly without changing his shoes, and Xi Yufeng rubbed the soles of his shoes on the floor mat at the door unaccustomedly before walking into the back room.

The very ordinary layout of two bedrooms and two halls is the same as the facade of the building. Whether it is loose floor tiles or peeling walls, there is a kind of weather-beaten vicissitudes everywhere.

But it was cleaned up very cleanly. The dilapidated sofa was covered with a blue-gray sofa towel, and there were two square pillows on it.The backing board on the dining table and the tablecloth under it are obviously added later, and the yellow stripes are lively and fresh.

The balcony is filled with all kinds of flowers and plants, and the blessings pasted on the windows are slightly faded. It has been more than half a year since the last Spring Festival.

While looking at the furnishings in the house, he suddenly heard a sound from the kitchen.

Xi Yufeng turned his head to look, Jiang Ruo didn't know when he had put on his apron, and asked, "Do you want to order food?"

"No need." Xi Yufeng said.

Jiang Ruo nodded: "Then eat whatever you have."

Jiang Ruo is not very good at cooking, but he is no stranger to it.

When his father passed away and his mother had not remarried, because his mother often worked night shifts, in order not to be hungry, he learned to cook dried noodles by himself when he was less than ten years old.

Later, he went to Fengcheng to study, and after leaving school, he rented a house to live outside. For a long time, he was struggling financially. In order to save money, he had to cook by himself. A hearty meal.

Later, he moved to Xi Yufeng's place, and after making a sandwich once, the task of preparing breakfast fell on him inexplicably.

And the dinner before parting, I only ate half of it in my impression, I don’t know what is left in the refrigerator...

Just as he was thinking, the kitchen door suddenly opened.

His thoughts were interrupted, and Jiang Ruo, who was picking vegetables, said without looking back, "Do you want some water? It's in the refrigerator, take it yourself."

After waiting for a while, Jiang Ruo didn't hear a response, so he turned to look.

Xi Yufeng had walked into the kitchen at some point, standing in front of the stove, Xu was curious about what was cooking in the casserole, and reached out to touch the lid.

Jiang Ruo's eyes widened for a moment, shouted "Be careful of burning", and rushed over with a stride, pushing Xi and Feng away.

But I accidentally touched the lid of the pot, and the skin on the back of my hand turned red from the heat.

Xi Yufeng first called Shi Mingxu, but the other party didn't seem to hear clearly, so he decided to go to the pharmacy himself.

A quarter of an hour later, Xi Yufeng returned from the outside, carrying a large bag of scald medicine in his hand, as if he had bought all the varieties in the pharmacy.

Jiang Ruo was dragged to sit down by him, and wanted to do it by himself, but Xi Yufeng couldn't help holding his hand, seeing that there was no serious problem, his brows were deeply frowned.

When applying the ointment to the wound, Xi Yufeng was still panting.He usually has the habit of exercising, probably only when he has to run back and forth, would he be so panting.

Unable to explain how he felt, Jiang Ruo felt that things didn't seem to be developing in the direction he expected.

He wanted to invite this meal as soon as possible, and cut off the last bit of entanglement.

But after applying the medicine, they sat on both sides of the dining table, and Jiang Ruo's taste buds seemed to be malfunctioning, unable to taste the food at all.

I just felt a scorching gaze fall on my body, as if exploring.

Fortunately, this is the last meal between them.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ruo felt relieved to pack the dishes, and did not refuse when Xi Yufeng asked if he could rest here for a while.

I only made three dishes, and they were finished quickly.

Returning to the living room, Jiang Ruo found no one. Jiang Ruo approached his room. The door was ajar. Through the one-foot-wide crack in the door, Xi Yufeng could be seen leaning against the head of the bed, with one foot on the ground, his eyes closed. closed, as if asleep.

I thought he was going to rest on the sofa, but I didn't expect him to be so ignorant.

Jiang Ruo complained in his heart, but his steps were light. He went into the room and plugged in his mobile phone to charge it. When he turned around and saw the person on the bed, he couldn't help but stop.

The high-quality shirt, the deep face because of the backlight, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like the person who should appear in this dilapidated hut.

Taking two steps forward, Jiang Ruo leaned over a little, and saw Xi Yufeng's eyes were pale green, thinking that when he first moved in together, he said that he had never slept well.

How did he survive so many silent nights of waking?

Why now, leaning on this dilapidated bed, can I sleep so peacefully?

Xi Yufeng didn't know if he fell asleep, but he smelled Jiang Ruo's unique smell and felt very relieved, so he closed his eyes.

He regained his consciousness because the smell with the fragrance of saponin suddenly approached and became stronger. He was surrounded by this smell contentedly, but he was afraid that it would leave beforehand, so he opened his eyes suddenly, and reached out to grab him by the way.

The first thing that caught my eye was Jiang Ruo's panicked expression.

And the reluctance and attachment in the eyes that haven't had time to restrain themselves.

Jiang Ruo was frightened, like a thief who was caught doing something bad, he turned his head and was about to run away.

But it was frozen in place by the soft temperature falling on the back of the hand.

Xi Yufeng clutched his wrist, leaned his neck forward, and reached for the wound on the back of his hand.

The thin lips lightly touched the scalded area, causing the skin to burn like a fire.

That's not too scary.

What was even more menacing was the way Xi Yufeng looked at Jiang Ruo.

A hotness that confirms what is in the heart, and the last bit of restraint is about to disappear.

"I caught you..." Almost gnashing his teeth, Xi Yufeng asked, "Where else do you want to go?"

The disparity in strength made it impossible for Jiang Ruo to run away.

He looked away and said calmly, "It turns out that Mr. Xi still wants to fuck me."

Swallowing a mouthful of air, Jiang Ruo went on to say, "But you've seen it too, I don't lack friends with benefits."

The moment the word "friend with a gun" came out, Jiang Ruo obviously felt the hand holding his wrist tighten.

He was gambling, and his habit of gambling with the Storm Lord had not changed, and he couldn't stand his repeated rebellion and repeated "faithfulness" to him.

But this time the result broke away from all assumptions.

The other hand rested on his back, silently blocking the room for retreat. Jiang Ruo just opened his lips when he felt a figure pressing down, and his slightly parted lips were sealed.

An extremely deep kiss, eager to confirm again, until the 100% sure method of capture, viciously absorbing every wisp of "I still love you" in Jiang Ruo's body.

Jiang Ruo felt a sense of urgency that the air was being deprived, forcing him to respond and ask for it in order to survive.

Before parting, Xi Yufeng lightly pecked the red lips that had been rolled for a long time, Jiang Ruo was confused, not only did not back away, but also moved forward reflexively.

At this point, his whole body was brought into his arms by Xi Yufeng, and even his unbearable panting was mixed with the other's heavy breathing.

As if that wasn't enough, Xi Yufeng let go of one hand and went to grab Jiang Ruo's face.

The lack of oxygen made Jiang Ruo paralyzed, unable to dodge in time, caught off guard by pinching his chin, and slammed into that deep gaze that seemed to suck people in.

"Since you haven't let go, come back." Xi Yufeng said in a low voice, "I can give you what you want now."
