Chapter 3 The reason for the first quarrel: Can you be more pleasant? …

The two were finally caught by the female leaders in a very funny posture.

“Hold…only…” the little girl with bangs blurted out words excitedly.

Jiang Ziyi: …So they are CP fans. We are hopeless.

Before going to bed, Gu Zhi received a call from his father.

"Will pretending to be pitiful work?" Professor Gu asked bluntly.

"It was fine at first, but she soon realized I was pretending." Gu Zhi glanced cautiously at the closed bedroom door.

"Hiss... This is not easy to deal with..." Comrade Gu Weizhen, who has been a wife slave for most of his life, has never encountered such a big thing.

"The most urgent task is to find out why Yi Yi had this idea," said Ms. Li Aomei.

"We were all filming in September, and most likely something happened during that time. I did some research and found that Yiyi's frequency of visiting a psychologist increased significantly... Friends in the same crew also said that she was not in a good state." Gu Zhi tapped the table lightly with his knuckles.

"She's so reluctant to mention it to me, I'm afraid it has something to do with her mother."

Jiang Ziyi returned to that nightmare again.

One afternoon during the summer vacation when she was seven years old, the director and the producer had an argument and the filming was temporarily interrupted. The atmosphere in the crew was depressing, and the makeup artist sister who had always been kind to her also had a solemn expression.

Little Jiang Ziyi imitated the adults in the advertisement and made a witty remark. She often did this to make her mother happy.

The director was the first to laugh. He put his arm around Jiang Ziyi's shoulder and patrolled the set like an exhibition, asking her to perform the previous segment over and over again. There was laughter wherever he went.

Lin Shuyao's expression changed at some point.

"What are you so proud of?" The woman's sharp nails dug into her forearm. "Do you think you're likable? These people tease you like they tease a dog. When you grow up a little, they will replace you immediately."

"Jiang Ziyi, no one in this world loves you, and you shouldn't love anyone." The woman who gave birth to her and raised her said word by word.

It was like reading the verdict of her life.

————————————————————

"Good morning." Gu Zhi's handsome features were tinged with a bit of worldly air by the white mist escaping from the steamer.

"What time did you get up?" The kitchen was filled with the aroma of fish porridge and soup dumplings. Jiang Ziyi picked up half a cup of warm water on the table and yawned slowly.

She looked like a sleepy cat. Gu Zhi curled up his palms and said, "Six o'clock, not too early. Did you dream about anything last night?"

"How do you know?" Jiang Ziyi's voice was a little muffled.

"You were talking in your sleep," Gu Zhi took off his apron, "something like 'none of your business'... sounds pretty cool.

Jiang Ziyi: “…”

She served the porridge and sat down face to face with Gu Zhi.

There are less than five minutes left until the show starts.

"Be careful not to get it splashed on your clothes." Gu Zhi helped her put the apron around her body.

"Hmm." Jiang Ziyi bit the bun without raising his head.

The camera was already in place. Gu Zhi glanced at his watch. At the moment the live broadcast began, he grabbed the chopsticks and praised sincerely:

"It's delicious. It's worthy of being made by my wife."

? ? ? Jiang Ziyi almost choked.

Don’t transfer the fruits of your labor to others casually!

[As soon as I came in, I saw handsome guys and beautiful girls sitting at the same table, great! ]

[Wow, the breakfast here looks really good]

[The couple next door quarreled early in the morning, and the other couple was eating soda crackers sponsored by the program. I didn’t expect that these two people were the most harmonious...]

[When did Jiang Ziyi become such a good cook? ]

[She looks so cute when she puffs out her cheeks and glares at you, haha]

The staff handed over the first task card. Gu Zhi took it while Jiang Ziyi looked at him as if he was a lunatic, and showed it to the camera.

"Couple Compatibility Test: There are five questions in total. If both parties give basically the same answers, they will be considered to have passed. The test result will affect today's schedule and budget limit..."

At the host's signal, the two of them picked up the blank answer boards.

"Question 1: Where was the place where you first met?"

When Jiang Ziyi was twelve years old, he participated in a sitcom about the daily life of the people living in the same building in the community.

The role she plays is a spoiled and willful sister in a family of overseas returnees, who has a gentle and excellent brother and a pair of parents who love and dote on her.

The director searched for the role of the brother for a long time, and finally chose Gu Zhi, who was attending the reunion with his father at a university classmate reunion.

Jiang Ziyi naturally felt some hostility towards this young man from a wealthy family, who was humble and polite.

Gu Zhi had never acted in a play before. He was like an interested bystander, always staying outside the crew.

He treated her very well both on and off the screen, and there was no sign of acting, as if he really treated her as his own sister.

…making people unconsciously dependent on him.

"——On the set of 'Neighbors'." Gu Zhi gave the same answer as Jiang Ziyi.

He had just turned fourteen at the time and was introduced to the audition by an uncle he knew. Ms. Li Aomei did not agree at first, but he got the final permission only after she repeatedly assured him that it would not affect his studies.

He will play a young boy named "Zhang Jiale" who has a very cute sister. It is said that the candidate has been decided and will act opposite him during the audition.

There were many young actors in the crew, and the dressing room was noisy. A girl with a red headband took the initiative to greet him: "Are you the young master who was chosen by the director without going to the audition?"

"I'm a junior high school student, not a young master." Gu Zhi smiled politely.

"He plays Zhang Jiale? That's terrible," the well-behaved boy said in a strange tone, "Your sister has autism, don't talk to her too much, or you might get infected!"

Gu Zhi followed his gaze and saw Jiang Ziyi in the corner for the first time.

His uncle told him that they were only two years apart in age, but she looked only seven or eight years old, pale and thin, with a beautiful princess hairstyle. There was no expression on her delicate little face, and her clear eyes like glass looked at him coldly.

…It’s hard not to care.

"What's your name?" Gu Zhi spoke to her.

"Zhang Jiayou." The girl pulled out the pins one by one from the prop cardboard and then put them into the back pocket of her trousers from the inside out. She did not pause in her movements, and looked as if she did not want to say anything more.

"I'm asking for your real name," Gu Zhi had never been so shameless before, "My name is Gu Zhi, I'm fourteen years old, and I'm in the second grade of junior high school."

"It's not important." The girl tied her pockets like a hedgehog.

"I told you she's autistic," the boy shook his head proudly, "Ignore her and come out with us to play with firecrackers!"

"Autism is a very serious disease and should not be used as a joke. Autism is not contagious. This is common sense." Gu Zhi took a deep breath and tried to keep smiling. "You are a person with no manners and you are easily surprised by things you don't know."

Several children walked away embarrassedly.

The girl still had no reaction to this scene.

"Xiaozhi Xiaoyi, get ready for the waiting period." The casting director spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm. He patted the stubborn shoulder affectionately and put his arm around the girl's waist.

"Ah!!!" the man screamed and retracted his hand, his palm was bleeding from the needle tip.

Amid the chaos, Jiang Ziyi calmly threw the weapon into the trash can.

————————————————————

"Question 2: When was your first date?"

Who can remember this! Jiang Ziyi couldn't help feeling a little frustrated, and just when she was about to give up, Gu Zhi quietly touched her ankle.

Jiang Ziyi looked under the table in what he thought was a covert move and saw him making a "yeah" gesture with his hand.

Are you trying to show off your good memory? Jiang Ziyi was speechless when Gu Zhi's gesture turned into a gun.

About three seconds later, he made another seven.

So this is the hint! Jiang Ziyi finally understood.

The one million or so viewers in the live broadcast room and the host also understood.

"Ahem, you two students cannot cheat on the exam—" the host couldn't help laughing, "You have answered this question incorrectly."

Although he doesn't remember the exact date, Jiang Ziyi still has a deep impression of their first date.

Gu Zhi is a typical J person who likes to plan everything, and every aspect of the date is carefully designed. As early as a week ago, Jiang Ziyi discovered that he was playing games on the computer.

But on the day of the meeting, there were all kinds of problems. Halfway through the drive, it started to hail and every road was blocked; the flowers were delivered to the wrong address and the gift box was broken by the dog; after great difficulty, they arrived at the restaurant that Gu Zhi had carefully selected on the review website. The heartbroken boss held a guitar and sang "When I Awake" eight times at the top of his voice next to the bar.

Gu Zhi tried hard to get everything back on track, but made mistakes in a hurry and looked flustered... It was really adorable.

"Question 3, what was the reason for the first quarrel?"

After being with Gu Zhi for more than half a month, Jiang Ziyi went to the emergency room.

The matter was very simple. The film's financiers wanted to squeeze some people into the crew, but were stopped by the director who had a lot of say. The director was so angry that he targeted the original actors at the dinner party.

The young girl had just graduated and was so frightened by the continuous toasts from a few old-timers that her face turned pale. Jiang Ziyi could drink quite a lot, so he helped her block a few drinks.

Given Jiang Ziyi's status, no one dared to force her to drink too much. However, she happened to have stomach discomfort, and from drinking she developed acute gastroenteritis and was taken to the hospital by ambulance in the middle of the night.

Jiang Ziyi originally wanted to hide it from Gu Zhi, but when the two were talking, the head nurse came in with an infusion bottle and said, "Your blood vessels are too thin. The intern has been doing it for a long time. Let me do it."

"Are you in the hospital?" Gu Zhi asked calmly.

"Ah, no, that... I'm filming, rehearsing my lines." Jiang Ziyi couldn't help but get flustered.

"Very good." Gu Zhi quickly hung up the phone.

Jiang Ziyi fell into a deep sleep. When he opened his eyes, he found Gu Zhi sitting beside the bed, peeling an apple with a knife without saying a word.

He peeled the apples, then the pears, then the dragon fruits and pineapples. In just a few minutes, all the fruits, big and small, in the fruit basket had lost a layer of skin.

“…I was wrong.” Jiang Ziyi said in a low voice.

Gu Zhi wiped the knife and began to peel the tangerines with his slender fingers.

"I shouldn't have lied to you and said I was filming on the set." Jiang Ziyi reflected.

Gu Zhi pulled the orange peel bit by bit.

"I shouldn't have not told you that I was in the hospital." Jiang Ziyi's attitude became more sincere.

His hand paused for a moment, but he still didn't speak.

"I shouldn't have gone to a drinking contest with others, went to see a horror movie alone without you, didn't order clear soup for Chongqing hotpot, poured whiskey into a thermos and drank it secretly in the middle of the night..." Jiang Ziyi confessed everything in one breath.

"You know, I'm not used to bothering others...even you." She pinched the corner of the quilt a little uneasily.

"Jiang Ziyi, it's a blessing to be needed by you," Gu Zhi held her hand, "I want to stand up for you and be the first to make sure you're okay..."

"How can I make you trouble me a little more?" he asked with a sigh.

Jiang Ziyi buried his head in his neck silently. Just as he was about to stand up, he was gently pushed back.

"The doctor said you can only drink porridge these days. I have a notice on the 8th, and I will supervise you to quit drinking when I come back." Gu Zhi whispered in her ear, "I found all the dozen bottles you hid at home. I even blocked the ventilation ducts. You have a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness."

…

————————————————————

Jiang Ziyi wrote down the two words "drinking", turned around the whiteboard confidently, and found that the answer presented by Gu Zhi was "jealousy".

"When did you become jealous?" Jiang Ziyi looked at him suspiciously.

"That afternoon when we were together, you said you were going to your senior's house for dinner in the evening and asked me to call a taxi back by myself." Gu Zhi complained.

The senior was named Yang Dong. After graduating from college, he joined the army and worked in the kitchen for four years. He was an epic chef.

"I was very angry and asked you, 'Is his cooking so delicious?'"

"You kept saying it was delicious, excitedly listed more than ten dishes, and then turned around and left." He seemed to be upset.

"There was no quarrel." Jiang Ziyi said somewhat guiltily.

"Then how did you make up?" the host tried to hold back his laughter.

"I was sulking for more than two hours...but she came back early and smiled at me, so I calmed down." Gu Zhi said as a matter of course.

The huge army of barrage paused for a moment.

Could you be a little nicer? ! !
