rumor

Compared with the uproar outside, Jiang Ruo's reaction can be said to have nothing to do with him.

This rumor is half true and false, and it is not a glorious thing. It is impossible to publicly refute the rumor.Besides, no actual harm could be done, no matter how harsh they say behind their backs, no matter how much disdainful looks they throw at them, there is no way to drive an actor who works hard and never makes a mistake out of the crew.

At the end of the day's filming, Tang Jianian called her to the waiting room, and Jiang Ruo still thought she brought something delicious to share, so mysterious.

Tang Jianian said anxiously: "Hey, you've been described like that outside, you still have the heart to eat."

Jiang Ruo sat down on the sofa, picked up a bag of nuts from the table and opened them: "What if you don't eat them, I can't stop them from talking."

Tang Jianian walked around the room twice, stomped her feet and said, "It's all my fault."

As he spoke, his eye circles turned red, and he was about to cry.

Jiang Ruojian was so flustered that he didn't bother to eat the nuts. He was so busy that he pulled the little girl to sit down and handed the tissues: "Don't cry, the nasolabial folds are coming out, and the crow's feet are also—hey, have you forgotten how many crying scenes tomorrow? , what should I do when I finish crying now?"

Hearing that Tang Jia wanted to cry, but neither laughed nor laughed, she took the tissue and pressed the corners of her eyes: "Are you such a coaxer?"

Seeing that she stopped her, Jiang Ruo said with a smile, "It will work as long as it works."

After calming down, Tang Jianian told Jiang Ruo the reason why he always went to Group B recently.

It turned out that she was in love with the third male in the play, an actor named Su Yi.

Tang Jianian himself is very popular, and the other side's idol has just set foot in the film and television industry, and is also in the rising stage of his career, so he doesn't plan to make it public.Even the managers of both parties didn't know about this, so they didn't avoid suspicion, and they actually met on the same crew.

"So," Jiang Ruo understood a little, "you got close to me to distract the attention of the crowd, or to use me as a shield?"

Tang Jianian waved her hands again and again: "Not entirely... At first I had this idea, but later I found out that you are quite a nice person, so..."

Inexplicably being issued a good guy card, Jiang Ruo raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "I said it before, I didn't mean to hook you up, you should have heard, I like men."

"I know, of course I know." Afraid of being misunderstood, Tang Jianian hurriedly said, "I want to make friends with you, after all you are such a nice person, and... Su Yi and I had a fight at the time, so I didn't want to see him."

After listening to the antecedents, it was Jiang Ruo's turn to be dumbfounded.Dare to not only serve as a shield, but also serve as a safe haven at critical moments.

After Tang Jianian finished speaking, she did not forget to warn Jiang Ruo: "Don't let this matter out."

Jiang Ruo, who was forced to listen to the gossip, reminded: "Since you are worried, you shouldn't tell me."

Tang Jianian was taken aback, lowered her head, and choked up again: "But I have no one to talk to, I just think you, you are reliable."

Thinking that in front of her was just a 19-year-old girl who had been held in the palm of her parents since she was a child, and had never experienced any hardships since entering the entertainment industry, Jiang Ruo finally sighed and assumed the role of "confidant brother" again.

"I want to assure you first, I won't say anything about this, otherwise I will be confused about what I will do in the future.

"Then, even if the two of you don't want to make this relationship public, and the purpose of distraction is to cover up people's eyes and ears, you don't actually have to do this, and it will arouse suspicion.

"There is no silver 300 taels here, have you heard it? You are very popular and have a good relationship with the crew members. Now they only look at the surface and think you are the closest to me. After a long time, they will find that you are close to everyone. If you don't deal with Su Yi alone, how do you think they will speculate on your relationship?"

After being reminded by Jiang Ruo, Tang Jia Nian was shocked: "I, I didn't think so much before."

"Onlookers are clear." Jiang Ruo said, "Some things, the more you are in it, the less you will notice the problem."

Tang Jianian looked taught.

After talking about it, the two agreed to remain friends, but there was no need to deliberately get close to cover up or anger anyone.

Tang Jianian still refused to admit it: "I didn't mean to anger him."

Jiang Ruo smiled: "Okay, I am attracted by my personality charm."

Walking down a few bags of duck feet from the lounge, the fearful Jiang Ruo declined Tang Jianian's invitation to have dinner, and planned to go back to the hotel to make a bowl of noodles, and the dinner would be over.

Walking to the door, I suddenly remembered something and turned around: "That..."

Tang Jianian, who was holding the phone and smiling sweetly, looked up: "What?"

Jiang Ruo saw her happy appearance immersed in love, and couldn't say some overly sober advice.

Nor this position.

"It's nothing." So Jiang Ruo put his hands back into his pockets, "I'm leaving first, you go to bed early, don't forget that there is a big scene to be filmed tomorrow."

The filming location was not far from the hotel contracted by the film crew. Jiang Ruo rarely had time to relax, so he took a leisurely walk back home.

On the way, I called An He to confirm that he had been discharged from the hospital and returned home. The latest physical examination report showed that all functions of the body had recovered well. Jiang Ruo still warned: "Relax at home for a week before going to work, do you hear me?"

An He muttered: "But I can't stay idle."

"Then water the flowers and plants I raised."

"After a winter, can you still live?"

"I don't know, you can go to the balcony and have a look."

After a series of footsteps, An He on the phone said pleasantly: "It seems that they are all alive, I will go water them now!"

As if seeing his happy face, Jiang Ruo couldn't help laughing: "Water less, rather dry than waterlogged."

"Know it."

During the watering process, An He didn't hang up the phone, and the two chatted a little longer.

"I saw someone in the hospital today." There was the sound of running water on the other end of the phone, and An He was scooping water into the pot, "I feel very familiar."

Jiang Ruo asked, "A man?"

"Ah."

"handsome guy?"

"……Um."

"I warn you, don't misidentify brother." Jiang Ruo immediately reminded, "Not everyone is like me, be careful like last time—"

"I know." An He feared to hear him nagging, "I just think I've met him somewhere before. I glanced at him several times, and he also looked at me."

"Fortunately not in a bar." Jiang Ruo felt lucky, "Otherwise you two would already be in bed right now."

"Even if I think about it, my current physical condition doesn't allow it."

"...Do you really want to?!"

An He laughed out loud: "Have fun in time, I'm not like you, with a face that brings disaster to the country and the people, but lives like an ascetic."

Leng Buding was ridiculed for his lack of sexual experience, Jiang Ruo was a little unconvinced: "How do you know that I haven't... that."

An He asked, "Has anyone ever done this?"

Jiang Ruo intends to bring up the incident of having a spring night with someone last time, so as to make a comeback and become a giant again, but because of the publicity, he can't find a suitable description.

Never slept with anyone?

No.

Never been fucked?

More explicit.

Haven't done anything you love?

It is no different from the previous two.

Never touched love?

Ouch, goosebumps all over the floor.

An He on the other end asked: "Which one? You said it."

Jiang Ruo was so angry that he rolled his eyes, and said incessantly, "I'm not an ascetic."

An He was surprised: "Who fucked you?"

Jiang Ruo's ears started to feel hot, and he didn't expect that he would be so innocent.

"Just... a man."

"What kind of man?"

"Two eyes, two ears, one nose and one mouth."

"A stray cat passed by downstairs."

"how?"

"Exactly as you described."

Jiang Ruo laughed loudly: "He's not a stray cat, no matter how bad he is... a Persian cat."

Expensive, arrogant, indifferent.

It was hard to hug him, but he also liked to ignore him, and slipped out of his arms without paying attention.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this analogy was appropriate. Jiang Ruo hummed a song and twitched all the way. When he arrived in front of the hotel, he took advantage of the few people around and did a few small ballet kicks, one by one.

After jumping a little far, when he landed, he raised his head suddenly and saw a black car parked not far ahead.

A little familiar.

Standing beside the car was a tall and lonely man in a shirt and black trousers.The windbreaker is draped between the arms, one hand is holding the pocket, the other is holding the cigarette, the scarlet flames are flickering in the dark sky.

After being dazed for a while, Jiang Ruocai set off again and moved forward.

As I walked, I thought—isn’t it true that you came to ask for debts so soon?

No, he should be looking for Zhou Xinyao, isn't he in the crew next door?

Reassured now, Jiang Ruo quietly looked away, pretending to be absorbed in enjoying the evening scenery.

But when he stepped on the steps in front of the hotel, the car horn sounded in his ears.

"Mr. Jiang," the old Liu in the car came out and greeted, "here!"

Jiang Ruo, who was named, had to turn around, first smiled at Lao Liu, and then looked at Xi Yufeng again, acting very hard but still deliberately: "What a coincidence, Mr. Xi, are you coming to play too?"

The instant noodles were not finished.

Not long after, the casting director, who hadn't appeared on the set for many days, hurried over, bringing along a group of people including the producer, drama manager, and director of photography.It is said that the chief director is already on his way, and was delayed by traffic jams.

Xi Yufeng expressed understanding for this: "You are busy, I will take a look."

It must not be casual.Under the leadership of Director Zhou, everyone went to the shooting site for a walk.

In group B, the director of photography pointed to the small stage in the rehearsal hall: "Ms. Jiang danced there today. When the spotlight hits, the effect is absolutely amazing."

Daokuang Zhou winked: "Then why don't you bring up the original film and let Mr. Xi watch it."

Jiang Ruo, who was suddenly promoted to "teacher" again, was startled and hurriedly stopped him: "Farewell, there's nothing to see."

Director Zhou asked the big boss: "Mr. Xi, do you think we should eat first, or..."

Along the way, Xi and Feng didn't comment on the crew's arrangement, and it's no different this time.

He looked at Jiang Ruo and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Jiang Ruo's mind went blank for a moment, and he subconsciously said "um".

After getting the answer, Xi Yufeng told everyone as if passing a message: "Then eat first."

After sitting at the dining table and recovering his mind, Jiang Ruo suddenly understood that Xi Yufeng's move was to support him.

The reason is self-evident, last time I helped Xi Yufeng, but this time the situation changed, Xi Yufeng came back to help.

After all, you come and go like this, which is most in line with the trading procedure.

It's not that he didn't think about the possibility of him making a special trip for this matter, but at the table Zhou Zong asked Mr. Xi why he was free today, and Xi Yufeng replied that he passed by here after playing golf with his friends, so he came to have a look , this absurd idea was instantly overthrown.

Jiang Ruo was inexplicably relieved.

The meal was still tasteless, and in the end Jiang Ruo couldn't help wondering whether Xi Yufeng had some super power to make people lose their appetite.

However, Xi Yufeng didn't move his chopsticks much. I don't know if the food was not to his liking or he ate it before coming here. In my impression, he also ate very little in Jinyuan last time. His movements were slow and orderly, which easily gave people a sense of elegance.

More like a Persian cat.

After the meal, Jiang Ruo took advantage of the fact that the leaders still had something to discuss, so he found an excuse to have an upset stomach and slipped away.

Back in the hotel room, I took off my shoes and jumped up and lay down on the bed.Touching the pocket, the duck feet were still there, tearing open the package and stuffing it into his mouth, Jiang Ruo chewed hard, only then did he feel alive.

After eating one pack, another pack will come.Not idle while eating, Jiang Ruo rolled over on the bed, reached out to touch the script next to the pillow, and flipped through it with the duck paw in her mouth.

Tomorrow not only the heroine will have a major event, but also the second male lead.

It was the scene where Xie Fangyuan fell on the stage and injured his Achilles tendon.It happened when Xie's family was in turmoil. Xie's father's company's cash flow had problems. Xie's mother was admitted to the hospital due to mental illness. During the turmoil, Xie's father kept urging Xie Fangyuan to go to the hospital for examination. After all, this disease has a great genetic probability. .

In addition, the girl he loves did not accept his confession, and Xie Fangyuan was under pressure from many aspects. When he was dancing, he lost his mind and fell off the stage.

Revisiting this episode again, Jiang Ruo couldn't help but sigh—what a miserable man.

So why does love always become the last straw that crushes people at critical moments?

It's better not to have the ability to love.

Jiang Ruo always stays sober whenever he encounters something related to love, whether he persuades others or himself.

But the subconscious reaction was against reason. When he heard the movement at the door, he turned his head to look over, and when his eyes met Xi Yufeng who entered the door with the room card, Jiang Ruo's heart still beat violently for several times. Down.

However, it is quite reasonable to attribute this reaction to the conditioned reflex of being frightened.

Jiang Ruo jumped up from the bed, eyes staring like copper bells, and said vaguely: "You, how did you come in?"

Xi Yufeng stood at the door without moving, his expression was rare surprise.

But also calmer than Jiang Ruo.He glanced at the room card in his hand, then looked at the people in the room, and he understood.

"The room card given by Director Zhou." Xi Yufeng stated calmly, "I thought it was an empty room."

Jiang Ruo is not stupid, after digesting this sentence, he sat back silently.

Only then did I realize that I was hugging a pillow in my arms, and I picked up a random guy as a weapon in a hurry just now.

Xi Yufeng obviously also saw his ridiculous defensive method, the corners of his mouth raised almost imperceptibly, but he asked another thing: "Is your stomach uncomfortable?"

Jiang Ruo: "..."

Speechless.

Amid the hot, sour and spicy smell of pickled peppers in the room, Jiang Ruo moved his cheeks quickly, and finally swallowed the last piece of duck paw.

Then he licked his lips and said in a low voice without confidence: "Now...it's much better."
