Chapter 410 The Real World (2) (1st + 2nd update) [VIP]

Today may be the darkest day in Lao Wu’s career.

Bai Jinshu sat on the sofa, watching him change his expression more than a dozen times in just one minute. He fidgeted as if there were needles on the sofa. He hesitated for a long time before finally unable to help but took the initiative to speak: "Old Wu, just say whatever you want to say."

Now his living room is full of people. The air is filled with the faint smell of snail noodles. The windows are wide open and the cold wind blows in from outside.

Under normal circumstances, Old Wu would have scolded him a few words after smelling this smell, but now his face was full of frustration. He looked at him and then at Huai Jiamu, and it was visibly that he was about to fall apart on his sofa.

Several second-generation rich people who came to support him originally came to support him, but as soon as they got out of the elevator, they were stuffed with a big melon. Now they are sitting side by side on the sofa obediently, with gossip gleaming in their eyes.

Old Wu said sadly: "When did it start?"

Didn't Bai Jinshu always look like he was going to become a monk in the next second? When did he hook up with this person?

Bai Jinshu held his forehead with his hand: "... probably around the beginning of the year?"

If I have to say, the first time I entered the foundation's space was indeed at the beginning of the year.

At that time, he was still being haunted by a "nightmare" named Skao. Every once in a while, he would dream of himself becoming that long-haired young man, committing murders one after another without any flaws.

At that time, his only source of emotional experience was these sporadic villain roles. When playing them, he was like a beggar who lit a match to keep warm, absorbing some limited warmth from the bright flames, and then after the match burned out, he looked at the embers for a while and then looked for the next match.

Skao was a very special match. He burned on and off for nearly half a year until his obsession was strong enough to be captured by the Foundation and signed as a member of the exploration team.

If we count when he disappeared, it was the first time he entered the unknown space of the Foundation. It was also during that exploration that he brought Huai Jiamu out of the [First Hospital], so it is not wrong to say that it was the first time he and Huai Jiamu met.

Old Wu's face was filled with grief and disbelief.

"At the beginning of the year!" He covered his chest, needing a quick-acting heart pill, "It actually started at the beginning of the year!"

At that time, Bai Jinshu was so pure and abstinent that he seemed to be ready to become a monk tomorrow! How could it have started at that time?

"You don't want to win the Oscar, right? It's not because you're in love!" he said desperately.

"What does the Best Actor have to do with this..." Bai Jinshu was speechless, "I just simply think that the role of Skao has been played enough."

Why should he experience a weakened version of what he could experience in the Foundation with fixed attributes in the real world?

Unfortunately, Old Wu didn't believe it.

"Then why did you act again later?" He glared at Bai Jinshu.

Bai Jinshu: "..."

"Because I changed my mind?"

Because there was a copy at that time where he thought Skao's 100% luck was very useful, so he wanted to learn more about this character.

"Really?" Old Wu said faintly, "Isn't it because my male sister-in-law likes it?"

Bai Jinshu glanced at Huai Jiamu silently: "...You can't say that."

But when he used this identity to enter the unknown space for the second time, Huai Jiamu didn't seem to dislike him very much.

However... he never made any comments about his vests from beginning to end. In his opinion, changing skins was very common and not surprising at all.

"Next question," Old Wu said desperately, "You asked me for a love book because of him, right?"

Bai Jinshu: "What love book... oh that time."

He recalled that there was indeed a period of time when he asked Lao Wu for a romance movie, but that was because he used "love" to smuggle Huai Jiamu out of the copy, and he didn't know how it would end, so he wanted to experience it by acting in a romance movie.

After all, for him, the long-formed mindset is that if he wants to experience a certain emotion, the only way is to act it out again, but he remembers that the love story that time was left unfinished, right?

Originally, he wanted to find a romantic art film to act in, but in the end, for unknown reasons, he chose She Mochu, and his role suddenly turned from a romantic film to a passionate film.

The kind of passion that is willing to sacrifice one's life and shed blood.

But if I must say...

Bai Jinshu's eyelids twitched: "It's because of him."

If Huai Jiamu had not been smuggled out, he would never have thought of acting in a romance film.

The few rich second-generations who were listening to the gossip nearby opened their mouths slightly.

Old Wu closed his eyes in despair: "The assistant Xiao Wang said that you always look at your smart watch on the set..."

Bai Jinshu recalled when this happened.

It seems that what happened just after the assessment space was the beginning of [0106]'s transformation from a shell organization to a mid-level organization with a certain foundation in the special space.

"That time I was watching..." He glanced at Huai Jiamu and thought about how to use other words to describe the Foundation's special spatial organization.

"Okay, I understand. You don't have to say anything," Old Wu sobbed. "You're chatting with him."

Bai Jinshu: ...It’s okay to think so.

"That car accident..." He looked like he was about to cry, "Ever since you had the accident, I haven't asked you why you drove up the mountain in the middle of the night."

Bai Jin said: "I went to watch the stars with him."

He already understood everything. Now, as long as he pushed all the problems onto the fact that he had a love affair behind Old Wu's back, he could explain all the problems.

Moreover, the top of the mountain in the suburbs is indeed one of the famous stargazing spots in the city. In summer nights, people often set up tripods there to photograph the stars.

"Wow," the rich second-generations gave him a thumbs-up sign furtively, "Brother Bai, you are so romantic! Even the paparazzi didn't notice."

I went to the mountains with my partner to watch the stars in the middle of the night.

When the car accident broke out, everything was saying that Bai Jinshu went up the mountain with his friends and got into a car accident and was now in the ICU for emergency treatment. No one thought that he was in love.

The news reported that Bai Jinshu had been in a car accident and that there were two people in the car. Even Bai Jinshu's fans' first reaction was to ask if the other person in the accident was his agent Wu Zongling. Later, Old Wu appeared outside the hospital, and everyone speculated that he was a friend outside the circle.

Who would have thought that they were going up the mountain for a date.

If things hadn't gone wrong, the agent might not have discovered the relationship between the two people until now.

"What should we call you, Brother Bai?" He Qinyue asked suspiciously, "Sister-in-law?"

Bai Jinshu: "...You can just call him Brother Huai."

"Brother Huai lives here now?" another rich second-generation dog said slyly.

Huai Jiamu nodded: "Yeah."

Apart from this, he has nowhere to go in this space.

He silently raised the cup and took a sip of water.

I don’t know why, but some people, although they theoretically have a kingdom of God, can only live in their wife’s house and eat gigolo meals.

Following Old Wu's question, Bai Jinshu, the gigolo, reviewed his actions after joining the foundation. Surprisingly, many difficult to explain problems suddenly made sense by using the explanation of "having a relationship behind the agent's back".

It just hurts Old Wu's heart.

After asking these questions, Old Wu sat on the sofa opposite him in a daze for a long time. After several rich second-generations had made eye contact with Bai Jinshu for a long time, he spoke again: "So what are you doing now..."

"A romantic relationship." Bai Jinshu said confidently.

So it makes sense for young couples to disappear from time to time to go on a date!

"Before that, you said you were just ordinary friends!" Old Wu accused.

"The relationship was not confirmed at that time." Bai Jinshu was completely frank.

It was probably a broken window effect. After Old Wu accidentally asked him if he was secretly married, he could now frankly say that he was in a relationship behind his agent's back.

"Then when will you..." Old Wu looked very frustrated.

"After the car accident," Bai Jinshu lied, "You know a friend in need is a friend indeed. He held me in his arms the moment the car flipped over. Otherwise, I might not have survived until the ambulance arrived."

As he spoke, he held Huai Jiamu's hand, showing his determination with his actions.

Anyway, there were only a few college students who saw the car accident scene. Now so much time has passed and they didn’t take photos because they were in a hurry to call the police. Now when asked about the details of the car accident scene, how can they remember who guaranteed who?

Besides, if he doesn't remember, he can still explain it. The worst that can happen is that his hand loosened after he rolled down the cliff and lost consciousness.

Anyway, the mouth is on his body, so whatever he says is what counts.

Old Wu's expression looked complicated.

"Then..." He stumbled for a long time, looking like he wanted to say thank you to Huai Jiamu but felt that he was a pig that had taken advantage of the cabbage. In the end, he could only be furious at the cabbage, "Then why were you driving while fatigued!"

"I couldn't sleep the night before," Bai Jin said frankly, "I spent the whole night thinking about the relationship between the two of us, and considering whether I should invest in a relationship that is not accepted by most people."

Old Wu was choked.

"Look at you now," Bai Jinshu finally took the initiative and leaned back on the sofa, "that's the situation I'm most worried about."

Old Wu: “…”

"Then who told you not to tell me?" he gritted his teeth.

"Did I tell you that you would help me analyze it?" Bai Jinshu crossed his arms. "Didn't you stay single for four years during your college years? The five people left in the dormitory are all single, but you are the only one who has not made any progress. Have you been single since birth?"

Does Old Wu know a lot about love?

Instead of asking him, he might as well take a literary romance script.

Old Wu said angrily: "You can't win the argument, so you attack me personally, right? I'm dedicating my life to the great cause of building our country!"

Bai Jinshu: "You have been working for four years. Did you pass the civil service exam?"

Old Wu: “.”

His vitals were touched and he slumped on the edge of the sofa in depression, losing the interest to question Bai Jinshu.

Bai Jinshu fell to the side and naturally leaned on Huai Jiamu's shoulder. The expression on his face was full of calmness and indifference after killing a lot of people.

broker?

It would be strange if the agent could control him.

The two of them had a conversation back and forth, leaving the rich second-generations who came to support them dumbfounded.

It seemed like... Bai Jinshu could render his agent speechless without them.

Several people looked at each other and felt that they were redundant.

But it doesn't seem so redundant.

The second-generation rich continued to whisper stealthily: "Brother Bai, Brother Bai? Are you really married? Do we need gifts?"

Huai Jiamu's eyes flickered.

Bai Jinshu raised his head from his shoulder and thought for a moment: "It hasn't come to that yet."

This is progressing too fast.

Although he did feel that his relationship with Huai Jiamu was special, but Old Wu's words about secret marriage were obviously a brain drain. If they really wanted to have a secret marriage... If they really wanted to have a secret marriage, domestic law would not support registration!

"Oh...if you're going to give us a gift, please let us know," several people looked at each other with curiosity in their eyes, "How about...adding each other as a friend?"

They are naturally referring to the friends of the Foundation.

Some time ago, when Bai Jinshu was watching live broadcasts to practice investing in projects under Chao Yougan's identity, these rich second-generations wondered why Huai Jiamu was present. Bai Jinshu naturally fooled them by saying that Huai Jiamu was also an investor of the foundation.

Anyway, he has a watch on his wrist and usually looks like he doesn't want anyone to come near him. These rich second-generations would be crazy to talk to someone like him who has a look on his face that says "don't bother me".

But adding friends at this time... Huai Jiamu is not a real investor.

"No," Bai Jinshu smiled, glanced at the still autistic Old Wu, and decided to see him off, "It's getting late, aren't you going home?"

"Hey, hey, hey," several people saw at a glance that he was going to send them away, and they all stood up from the sofa consciously. Anyway, they had eaten enough gossip today. Bai Jinshu actually had a boyfriend who he had been dating for a while, and he was the man who seemed to be a mysterious boss that everyone had met before. This was enough for a group of them to talk about for a long time. "Then we'll leave first, Brother Bai."

"Well, take care," Bai Jinshu stood up and walked them to the door, then suddenly remembered something, "By the way, if you have any profitable projects recently, please share them with me."

He is in urgent need of making money recently.

"Brother Bai, are you short of money?" It was the first time He Qinyue heard Bai Jinshu say this.

When he invested in those spaces a while ago, he said that profit and loss didn’t matter and it was just for practice. Why is he asking everyone to share money-making projects now?

"Well," Bai Jinshu said frankly, "I bought a big item recently."

It means buying an S space directly from the foundation.

“Oh oh oh oh oh!” The second-generation rich people understood, “We understand, we understand, we bought a wedding house, right!”

We are planning to get married in secret, so we can’t still live in this big flat, right?

Although the security and confidentiality of this community are good, and there is one household per floor, this kind of residence always has the risk of being discovered by paparazzi.

It’s better to buy a villa for insurance.

Bai Jinshu: "No... Never mind, it's almost the same."

Secret marriage house: basically a place where only the two of them will live.

[Blood, Flesh, Bitterness, Weakness]: The place where only the two of them will return to after time is stopped.

So the wedding room = S space is very reasonable.

After seeing off a group of rich second-generations who were obsessed with gossip, Bai Jinshu spoke much more bluntly to his agent.

"I'm a bit short of money lately," he looked directly at Old Wu, "Do you have any books to bring to me?"

"Recently..." Old Wu regained some rationality from his "becoming a monk and having your cabbage eaten by a pig" collapse, "There haven't been any notebooks recently, have you forgotten? You just recovered from your injury..."

Even if directors, investors and Bai Jinshu's friends in the circle wanted to invite him to perform, they would have to consider one realistic factor, that is, Bai Jinshu had just recovered from a serious injury in the hospital.

Not only do most crews have to live a reversed day and night life, but they also often have irregular meals. Some special locations for fantasy-themed films are located in remote areas with backward conditions, which is not conducive to recuperation at all.

Even if Bai Jinshu accepted the role, the crew would need to adjust the shooting time according to his physical condition during the filming process.

So there really aren’t many invitations recently.

"What? Are you short of money?" Old Wu also asked curiously, "Logically speaking, you shouldn't be short of money..."

Apart from anything else, Bai Jinshu doesn't have any expensive hobbies or anything else that requires spending money in his daily life.

"Well," Bai Jinshu brought up the same story again, "I recently bought a big item and I'm going to take on some acting jobs to make some money."

"Why take on a role if you want to make money?" Old Wu complained silently. "You can take endorsements, appear on variety shows, or do live streaming to sell goods. Which one won't make money faster than acting in a movie?"

If you are filming a movie, your salary will not be settled until the film is completed. If the contract is a profit-sharing system, you have to wait until the movie is released. Compared with this, endorsements and variety shows are much slower.

Bai Jinshu: ...Yes, that’s right.

He usually doesn't get involved in these things. The reason he took on so many roles before joining the foundation was just to experience the emotions, not to make a lot of money. He actually forgot that if he wanted to make money quickly, endorsements and variety shows would indeed be faster.

Moreover, if the variety show is chosen well, there will not be a tight schedule, which is very suitable for someone like him who has just recovered from a serious illness and is not suitable for overdrawing his body.

"But speaking of filming," Old Wu remembered something, "I didn't tell you that you were recuperating a while ago. Do you still remember the role you took before?"

"What role did I take before?" Bai Jinshu asked at a loss.

"That guest role," Old Wu sat up from the sofa, "the IP that always appears in the Lunar New Year family entertainment. At the beginning of the year, didn't I ask you if you wanted to guest-star in a villain role this time, the necromancer that requires a lot of special effects?"

"When I was confirmed to be in the role, the director said that this part of the character had not been filmed yet. This part almost needs a full green screen, because we need to do special effects of half a skeleton in the later stage, so we need to capture motion. The cost of renting related studios and equipment is calculated on a daily basis, and we have to wait for the equipment and studio to be available, and we have to wait in line until the previous crew has used them up, so the filming time for this part has not been determined," said Lao Wu while flipping through his phone. "Before, when you had a car accident, the director said he wanted to come to visit you, but the filming location of the crew is halfway around the world away from us. I thought it was too much trouble for him, so I declined. Later, he sent you a message saying that this part will be filmed soon."

After he said that, Bai Jinshu also remembered that it seemed to be true.

When he took on the role, he put this matter aside and almost forgot about the role.

"You just recovered from your injury recently. If you want to make some money, you can go to some events and then go shoot this cameo scene or something like that," Old Wu opened his memo and made plans for him. "There are a few new people in the studio recently. You can go visit them tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, get on the hot search, buy some press releases, show your face in front of the public, and send a signal to the industry that you have recovered and can work as usual. Interested partners will definitely be ready to invite you. Then I can talk to you about some more lucrative and less troublesome jobs with higher standards. That will be all."

Bai Jinshu nodded: "Just arrange it."

Apart from anything else, Mr. Wu’s business ability is indeed excellent.

"Okay, I'll contact you tomorrow and see which day is convenient for you to visit the set or something," Old Wu wrote a lot of things on the memo and waved his hand. When talking about work, he even forgot about the existence of Huai Jiamu. "I'll discuss the time of joining the crew with the director. That's all for today."

He put away his phone, closed the door and left without even seeing it.

After Old Wu left, Bai Jinshu and Huai Jiamu were the only ones left in the room.

The smell in the room was almost gone. While Bai Jinshu was closing the windows and turning off the air conditioner, he was thinking about whether the incident between him and Huai Jiamu could be considered as over with Old Wu.

"Let's get together and make a unified statement." Bai Jinshu turned around.

The only people who know about his affair with Huai Jiamu are Old Wu and a few second-generation rich investors from the foundation.

Never mind whether it was the suspension bridge effect or not. Anyway, since he had come out of [Blood, Flesh, Bitterness and Weakness], even if he was slow-witted, one should have noticed that when he was questioned, his first reaction was to apologize, and his second reaction was to kiss him to solve the problem. It's unreasonable to say that he had no other thoughts about Huai Jiamu based on this kind of thinking.

In order to prevent more people from knowing about it later when no one is forced to, it would be better for the two of them to collude and come up with a unified version of their story about this love affair.

For example, what are the key emotional nodes, why they got into a car accident together, etc.

After all, if you really asked him to say when things started to go wrong between him and Huai Jiamu, he actually couldn't say it.

If mysterious feelings could be quantified using words and data, there wouldn't be so many infatuated men and women in the world.

He was thinking about these things in his mind, and when he turned around, he found that Huaijia Mu Ren had already arrived in front of the kitchen sink and was washing dishes seriously.

Bai Jinshu: ...After Old Wu left, one person closed the window and the other washed the dishes. What's going on with this weird feeling of home?

"Huh?" The man who was washing dishes turned around and looked at him, "What are you stringing together?"

"Collusion, about our relationship," Bai Jinshu walked to the edge of the kitchen, propped up his hands and sat on the edge of the bar, swinging his legs, "For example, how we met, and what happened afterwards, etc...."

"Yes," Huai Jiamu nodded, "I met him in the hospital."

"Oh, yes, the hospital," Bai Jinshu was happy, "I went to see a doctor and ran into you by chance?"

Huai Jiamu pondered for a moment: "Hospital shareholder."

Bai Jinshu: "...That makes sense."

Who can say that the evil god worshipped by the entire hospital is not a shareholder of the hospital.

"That's when I met the hospital shareholder, and then by chance we ran into each other again while traveling..." He was thinking about the small mountain village where the two of them went to [The One Who Left Me].

"Going on a date." Huai Jiamu corrected.

"It doesn't seem reasonable to go on a date for the second time after meeting for the first time..." Bai Jinshu thought.

Isn't this too fast?

Would a normal person be this fast?

"Let's go on a date," Huai Jiamu said firmly, "Isn't it a date every time?"

Bai Jinshu: "...Ah? Really?"

"Many memories say yes," Huai Jiamu said confidently, "Every time we went on a date, you said you liked me. You said you liked me and invited me out, and I agreed, so it was a date."

Bai Jinshu:……?

It seems like this was the case at the beginning?

Hiss, a sense of guilt rose up in his heart.

So in Huai Jiamu's view, every time he summons someone, it's actually an invitation to a date?

So from his perspective, every time they enter an unknown space, it's like the two of them are going on a date?

Two exploration team members are dating in an unknown space that is full of dangers, weirdness and horror?

Hiss... I can’t think about it too much, I really can’t think about it too much.

Bai Jinshu closed his eyes silently.

The author has something to say:

I've already said that the first part of Hantang's post is pure love. One of them is pure and doesn't understand love, and the other is pure love-brained (x)
