Artboard

The filming of the micro-film is nearing completion. It is expected that all the materials will be shot today, and the next step will be post-production editing.

Letang sat under the shade of a tree away from the crowd, holding his phone and browsing shopping apps.

Bai Ruicai meant that he was afraid of the dark at night and always slept uneasily when living alone. He always wanted to find someone to live with so that they could take care of each other.

He spoke sincerely and said that his family was not well off. There was no student in the same class and grade who had a good relationship with him. After thinking about it, the only one who got along well was Letang.

Letang was still hesitant, but after Bai Ruicai said that, he felt a little soft-hearted. In addition, he was a little afraid to sleep alone at night, so he agreed to Bai Ruicai's proposal.

But if Bai Ruicai moved in with him, one bed wouldn't be enough, and two beds wouldn't be enough...

Are we going to sleep on the floor?

He was so focused on his studies that he didn't notice that there was someone standing next to him.

It was Wang Bang who came to find him again, and was stunned when he saw the person next to him.

"Why is Mr. Fu here? The filming hasn't ended yet."

Le Tang was stunned for a moment, then he realized what was happening and looked to his side, only to meet Fu Zhixu's focused gaze.

He was so frightened that he immediately turned off the screen of his phone: "Fu, Fu, Fu...!"

My teeth hit the corner of my mouth and I covered my mouth in pain.

At this time, Liu Sijia also came over and saw Fu Zhixu and Letang sitting together, and her face changed.

Fu Zhixu glanced at Wang Bang and Liu Sijia calmly and said, "I'm a little tired. Let's rest here for a while."

Wang Bang felt a little strange.

There are so many places to rest, and there are more than one shaded area, why do you have to sit with Letang?

He did not forget that the forum incident had just passed not long ago. Although Fu Zhixu did not say anything on the surface, he never hid his dislike for Letang.

But recently, his attitude towards Letang has become increasingly unpredictable.

It really doesn't make sense...

Letang was still worried about whether Fu Zhixu had seen his phone screen just now, wondering if he would guess that he was going to live with someone else.

My shoulders sank.

It was Fu Zhixu who rested his head directly on his shoulder!

Fu Zhixu seemed very sleepy, his eyelids drooped, and his long, straight eyelashes covered his eyes, casting a shadow.

Letang was so frightened that he immediately sat up straight and dared not move. He quickly held his breath and dared not breathe.

While no one was paying attention, Liu Sijia quickly took advantage of the fact that she wanted to shoot some so-called behind-the-scenes footage and took several photos of the two people under the shade of the tree.

Kitano Ji saw this scene as soon as he arrived.

He could see Letang's nervous expression from a distance. When had he ever seen that joyful look on his face before?

As he approached, someone immediately asked, "Boss Kitano! What brings you here?"

Bei Ye Ji smiled nonchalantly, but his eyes fell on Letang: "I heard that your micro-film is about to end, so I came to see Zhi Xu and bought some water as a reward for you."

He waved his hand, and immediately people came over carrying large and small bags of milk tea and snacks. Everyone cheered, "Thank you, Boss Kitano!"

Kitano Ji stopped them and said, "Don't you need to do it? Don't you have an assistant? Where is the assistant?"

Since leaving the club last time, Letang hasn't spoken to Beiye Ji again. When he saw him, he felt a little embarrassed and immediately looked away.

In Kitano Ji's eyes, it seemed like she didn't want to see him and was deliberately giving him a cold look.

Fu Zhixu stood up when he saw him and walked to his side: "You're here."

"Yeah." Bei Ye Ji looked at Letang and said, "I'll borrow your assistant's helper to distribute water to everyone."

Although Letang was reluctant, he knew that he could not afford to offend, so he had to go and distribute the water obediently.

"Why do you have to pick on him?" Fu Zhixu said calmly, "We are all classmates."

"I'm targeting him?" Kitano Ji snorted coldly, "Who is he? Is he worthy of being targeted?"

Fu Zhixu did not comment.

"As for you, I see you're so concerned about him lately?" Kitano Ji asked casually.

"I remember you've been disgusted with him for a long time."

Looking at Letang's back as he trotted to distribute milk tea to everyone, his focused and serious face was tanned red by the sun, making his skin look even whiter and tenderer, as if water could be squeezed out of it.

"In recent days, my opinion of him has changed a bit."

Fu Zhixu's words were ambiguous, but Beiye Ji listened to them. After all, he felt the same way and felt that he had more say than Fu Zhixu.

He always felt that Letang seemed to have changed at some point.

She became delicate and fragile, prone to temper tantrums; she became cheerful and lively, full of color; she became... so cute.

Kitano Shu's scalp tingled at the sudden thought that came to his mind.

Lok Tong? Cute?

...He must be up to some conspiracy again!

Maybe he had deliberately inflicted those scars on his chest to show him, causing him to think about what happened that day all the time these days.

It’s not enough to pretend to be weak and seduce Fu Zhixu, she also has to make him dizzy.

It's really hateful!

Le Tang came back from distributing water and was so tired that he wanted to find a place to sit down and rest, when he noticed a pair of eyes staring at him as if they were real.

Kitano Ji waved to him: "Come here."

Letang wanted to pretend not to see it.

Kitano Ji immediately grabbed the back of his neck and held him like a kitten: "Dare to ignore me? Have you forgotten what I said before?"

Letang shook his head repeatedly, like a rattle, and looked at him with his eyes wide open: "What do you want from me?"

Seeing this, Wang Bang wanted to help him, but Liu Sijia found an excuse to send him away.

Seeing the unconcealable fear in his eyes, Kitano Ji unconsciously loosened his grip.

But then he thought, why is he one way in front of Fu Zhixu, and another in front of me? Why doesn't he treat him the same way he treats Fu Zhixu?

His eyes caught sight of the cracked corners of his mouth, red and like a ripe, cracked fruit, looking very chewy. He could even imagine Letang deliberately biting his lips in front of Fu Zhixu.

Thinking that he was two-faced, he was so angry that his teeth were itching. He lost control of the strength in his hands and pinched the soft flesh on the back of Letang's neck and squeezed it hard.

Letang stretched out his hand to push him, and whispered: "It hurts..."

Then I heard Kitano Shu asking him for his cell phone again.

What are you going to do this time?

Letang was unhappy, but he didn't dare to say anything, fearing that this man would take him to the club again, so he obediently handed over his phone.

This time, Kitano Shu fiddled with the phone for a long time before returning it to him.

Le Tang couldn't tell what he had done, so he couldn't help but ask, "What did you do?"

Kitano Ji curled his lips and threatened him with a half-smile: "I installed an evil ghost in your phone. If you dare not listen to me, I will let him come out to find you."

After saying that, he seemed to be in a good mood when he thought of Letang's frightened look. He reached out and rubbed the place where he had pinched just now. Sure enough, he saw that the skin there was red and a little swollen.

Kitano Ji made a "tsk" sound and wondered if this person was a man. He was too delicate.

Le Tang didn't believe his nonsense. What evil ghost or not? Did he think he was a three-year-old kid who could be fooled?

Next time I take my phone to a repair shop to check it out, there's a good chance that some shameful program has been installed on it.

Just as I was wondering about this, the phone in my hand suddenly rang, indicating that there was an incoming call.

Letang glanced at the caller ID: Sweet Tooth Destroyer.

I peeked at Kitano Shu's reaction and saw that he wasn't paying attention, so I walked to a corner farther away and answered the phone with my back to him.

"Hello? Why are you calling me now? Aren't we in class now?"

Bai Ruicai's voice came from the receiver: "Come find me after school."

"Aren't you at school?" It sounded like he was outside.

"I have something to do. I'll be back soon."

Letang was speechless for a moment, and after waiting for a long time, the other party still didn't speak, and both sides were speechless for a while.

There was a burst of noise from the receiver, as if Bai Ruicai had switched handsets. For some reason, Bai Ruicai's voice sounded breathless, with a subtle sound of water inexplicably audible.

"I walked a bit and am climbing the stairs now." Bai Ruicai said casually, "You are not allowed to leave school alone. You must wait for me."

"oh."

Letang remembered that he owed Bai Ruicai a favor, so he naturally obeyed his request and hung up the phone without asking any more questions.

The last scene was shot in the school's sunroom studio. This scene required many people to appear on camera, so the assistant director found Letang again. When the director saw Kitano Shu, his eyes widened and he kept praising him for being a "wolf dog" and "leopard-style", and begged him to make a friendly guest appearance no matter what.

I don't know why Kitano Shu didn't get angry, but he actually agreed to the filming and found a place with just the right amount of sunlight to sit in without saying a word.

Letang was placed in front of the easel opposite him. He could see his thoughtful gaze as soon as he raised his eyes. He quickly found a large drawing board and hid himself behind it to block Kitano Ji's sight.

Unexpectedly, the director said, "This scene requires students to draw each other's portraits. After everyone forms two groups, we will start shooting."

Judging from the seating arrangement, it looked like he and Kitano were a pair. Letang looked around, deciding to quickly find someone else to team up with.

Wang Bang happened to be among the extras, but his position was slightly off to the side. Seeing Letang's actions, he guessed what he was thinking and quickly stood up and waved at him, "Letang, join me in the group."

Upon hearing this, Letang was eager to escape from the "devil's den". Just as he was about to run over, he heard the director say "Hey hey" twice: "You are an important character, stay here and don't move."

"Director, I want to be in the same group with him."

The director looked at Wang Bang, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Although Wang Bang was a decent-looking man, he was not very photogenic and was nowhere near as stunning as Kitano Shu's face.

Just when he was worried, he heard Fu Zhixu say, "How about I team up with Letang?"

Screenwriter Wang Bang was shocked when he heard this: "How can this be possible? The male and female protagonists must be tied together!"

The director shifted his gaze between the three of them, seeming to think, "...It's not impossible."

Wang Bang: “?”

May I? ?

The other staff members understood each other tacitly: the director started again.

Ning Ruotong smiled subtly: "I don't have any objections. It just so happens that I'm not good at painting. Actually, I can just be the background board for this scene."

After saying that, he secretly gave Letang a look that only the two of them could understand.

Letang shot her starry eyes in gratitude.

He was playing dumb with Ning Ruotong, and Bei Ye Ji saw it all. His avoidance of him made Bei Ye Ji grit his teeth.

Letang happily sat opposite Fu Zhixu. He looked at himself in the mirror several times but couldn't calm down. After the filming started, he found the best angle and sat sideways facing Fu Zhixu, subconsciously straightening his chest.

Before he could show his most perfect smile to Fu Zhixu, the sunlight on his face flickered and was immediately completely blocked by a figure.

The sound of the easel rubbing against the ground was heard. It was Kitano Ji who ignored the filming and stood up to sit next to Fu Zhixu, squeezing out the only open space diagonally opposite Letang.

"The light is good here." He gave Le Tang a sinister grin, and placed his drawing board heavily on the easel, making a harsh sound. "Don't worry about me, just continue."

This scene was not in the script. Several staff members looked up at the director, who was sitting in front of the monitor excitedly, dancing with excitement, and did not call for a stop.

Being stared at by Kitano Ji was like being starved by a beast on the grassland. Letang felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't even laugh. He just sat there with his head down, holding the paintbrush and absentmindedly smearing a black blob on the blank paper.

Since he couldn't take a picture of the black ball anyway, he simply drew a ferocious face on it, imagining that it was Kitano Shu. He also drew a huge mace on the black ball, beating it into a thin piece of paper.

"Ha ha!"

Letang was happily painting and was laughing secretly while sitting behind the drawing board.

When Kitano Ji saw his little appearance, his heart moved. When he came to his senses, his hand holding the paintbrush had already started moving on its own.

With just a few strokes, Letang's smiling face comes to life on the paper, vivid and colorful.

Fu Zhixu, who was standing by, was slightly stunned as he looked at his canvas.

How long has it been since he saw Kitano Ji paint?

"Card!"

The director's excited voice came: "Great! Great! This is simply the perfect ending!"

The voices of congratulations from the crowd brought Kitano Ji back to his senses. When he looked up, he saw that the seat opposite him had been vacated for some time.

Le Tang couldn't wait to run to Fu Zhixu's canvas, looking at the sloppy outline of the character and the facial features that had not yet been drawn. He happily took several photos in a row, and even tilted his head to take a selfie, looking more smug than the rustic scissors hand gesture.

You can't tell who is in the painting, or even whether it is a boy or a girl, but he is so happy.

Just because it was painted by Fu Zhixu.

Kitano Shu stared at his painting, reached out and tore off the paper, then crumpled it into a ball.
