Chapter 106 A Tear

Shu Ming...Shu Ming doesn't understand either.

He didn't smell any malice from Xijia, but...

Never mind, I can’t tell.

It can only be said that Shu Ming is somewhat slow in this regard.

But Shu Ming's train of thought is also easy to understand——

After all, we can’t think that everyone is gay! And we can’t be so confident that all men in the world love him!

Therefore, Shu Ming never thought about it in that direction, so he always felt that there must be something fishy about it, but he didn't quite understand the reason for the time being.

Orange was still mumbling, "This guy, with this EQ, how did he manage to survive in this circle?"

Guan Xianyi said calmly, "To be able to play a supporting role in Rong Ankang's film and also be forced into the second male lead in 'Far Away', can his background be simple?"

In other words, the Tianlong people who have connections don't need emotional intelligence.

Why should we be as cautious as Shu Ming?

Thinking back to the past, when they both got into the production through connections, when had they ever seen Rong Ankang target Xi Jia? When had they ever seen Rong Ankang look suspicious towards someone? When had they ever seen the crew on set treat Xi Jia the same way they treated Shu Ming?

It's just a matter of treating people differently according to their circumstances!

So it’s no wonder that Shu Ming has never liked Rong Ankang.

Even though the other party later introduced his child to Oujiman, Shu Ming rarely took the initiative to greet Rong Ankang, and was not as close to him as he was with Qiao Minxue.

But to be honest, there's really nothing we can do about him.

This thing is just like Fei Shuo. They can't move and can only passively defend.

Angry.

"Let Zhuang Zheng go to the set with you every day." Guan Xianyi advised.

After all, Zhuang Zheng is a man who is nearly 1.9 meters tall. Years of hard work have made this guy have strong muscles that are not just for show, which makes it easier to deter villains with ulterior motives.

No matter what kind of evil intentions these people have - Guan Xianyi can vaguely guess the truth, but is too lazy to think about it in depth - under the absolute deterrence of force, they will have no chance of success.

As long as Shu Ming's personal safety is not a problem, everything else will be easy.

Shu Ming didn't care much at first, but after seeing Guan Xianyi's careful instructions, he straightened his mind, slowly sat up straight, and nodded seriously: "Okay, I understand."

Zhuang Zheng stayed with the audience until the reading session was almost over.

To be honest, no matter how high the efficiency is, it cannot withstand everyone's regular get off work schedule every day, so that New Year's Day is almost here and the reading session has not yet ended.

Shu Ming has even become accustomed to this healthy routine. After finishing the reading every day, he would go play ball with his friends as usual.

Oh my goodness! Everything in Hong Kong is narrow, except for the playground, which is incredibly big!

Li Chen: "Shu Ming, do you want to play ball tonight?"

Shu Ming had a suppressed cry during the morning reading, and his eyelids were still a little red. He stopped organizing the documents and looked up at him: "No, a friend is treating me to dinner tonight."

Rong Caiqing poked her head out from behind Li Chen. She had already prepared her sportswear and had been looking forward to spending more time with Shu Ming in the evening since the afternoon. It would be even better if their relationship could grow stronger!

But I didn't expect that someone would be able to intervene at the last minute.

She said disappointedly, "Is it Leo Leung again? Or is it Chan Kong-sang?"

Shu Ming smiled softly: "It's not them two."

Rong Caiqing immediately wrinkled her nose in a wary manner: "Who is that?"

"Secret."

Three handsome men and beautiful women gathered together are always particularly eye-catching, not to mention that these three people have some emotional entanglements both on and off the screen.

In the play, two men fight for one woman. Huo Jingxuan and Huo Jingtian fight for the fiancée, and even quarrel with each other over this.

Although Li Chen does not think that the character he plays, Huo Jingxuan, truly loves Rong Caiqing, at least that is the fact on the surface.

Outside the play, Rong Caiqing boldly pursues love and frequently asks her fellow senior brother Li Chen for help, but Shu Ming is always gentlemanly and never oversteps the line.

This undoubtedly made Rong Caiqing distressed. She even pulled Li Chen to drink, and then repeatedly looked at herself in the mirror: Still so beautiful!

This little bit of alcohol even made her more hazy and beautiful. Her small face, the size of a palm, had particularly three-dimensional features, with a little bit of drunken blush. Who wouldn't be moved by her?

In fact, ever since she realized her feelings for Shu Ming, people around her said that she had become more hormonal, brighter and more attractive.

Oh, so distressed.

Why can't I attract the people I want to attract?

She drank the drink in one gulp and reached for the bottle, but when she lifted it, it was incredibly light.

No, where's the wine?

She shook the bottle a little sluggishly, then rushed over to grab the glass from Li Chen's hand: "Hey wait, don't drink so much, I can't handle you! If that old woman finds out, she'll have to blame me for another month!"

But it was too late, Li Chen was already drunk.

Of course, Rong Caiqing couldn't carry the 1.80-meter-tall Li Chen, so in the end, her nanny-like agent came to the rescue, and both of them happily received a gift package of being nagged.

But that’s beside the point.

At this moment, Qiao Minxue glanced at where the three of them were standing, and said to Sun Yi beside him with emotion: "Youth is so good!" You can love and hate as much as you want, and experience all kinds of emotions in this world.

After expressing his feelings, he sighed again: "When I first met him, he was only 19 years old and still a child. Now he has grown up so much." He has become so handsome and responsible.

Then he laughed and said, "Okay, this kid looks like me!"

Sun Yi was almost speechless: "Come on, stop flattering yourself!"

Why do you praise yourself so casually?

Although Qiao Minxue is eight or nine years older than Sun Yi, there is not much gap between the two of them in terms of seniority and they talk about whatever comes to mind when they chat.

Sun Yi also remembered how Shu Ming looked when he saw him at that time.

Timid, yet bold, with sparkling eyes: "We were performing 'Love on the Grassland' at that time. One night, Zheng Yiwei suddenly came to me and told me to help a completely amateur act the next afternoon.

Wow! I was really shocked. And do you think Lao Zheng is crazy? He chose a horse riding scene for a complete newcomer, which is even more difficult to act!

I ran over to the set, thinking I'd take a look at what this kid looked like. Anyway, I did, and he was quite handsome, though he couldn't speak Mandarin very well.

But I can barely speak Mandarin, not to mention that our show features many ethnic languages, so wouldn’t that mean I can speak even less?”

Sun Yi laughed out loud: "I told Li Yuan, it's over, the reputation of this drama is going to be ruined, let's run away!"

Is there such a past event?

Qiao Minxue didn't know what he was talking about, so she urged him to continue.

"But after I joined the crew and signed the contract, I thought, since I'm here, I might as well finish the performance! No matter if it's good or bad, it will always have a beginning and an end, so I went the next day.

After we went there, as I expected, the child couldn't speak Mandarin clearly, let alone his ethnic language. As soon as he started speaking, we were all amused. The punctuation and rolled tongue sounds were all wrong, and it was obvious that he had learned them on the spur of the moment.

His movements were a complete mess, and he was almost bumping into me on his horse. I could only guide him while delivering my lines. It was so frustrating that I broke into a sweat!

"But this kid is really good!"

Sun Yi clapped his hands and said, "You said, even I could hear them laughing, so how could Shu Ming not hear it? If it were someone with a weaker mentality, he would have been stunned and unable to get off the stage. His ears and neck were red, but he managed to finish the performance, and he did it with great immersion.

Yes, the performance does have many flaws, but it’s not completely unwatchable.

I was like, hey, this kid has it tough! How could he not be embarrassed? Sometimes I even think, is he going to cry any second?

An eighteen-year-old boy is at the age when he has strong self-esteem. If I were his age and was laughed at and looked down upon by so many people in front of me, I would definitely want to find a hole to hide in..."

But Shu Ming still finished the performance.

Not only did he not let those few tears actually fall, but he also performed seriously and gave it his all. This is why Sun Yi admired him and was willing to accommodate him.

Of course, Shu Ming was born with good popularity, but where did all the love and hate that had no reason come from?

"But back then, I always thought this kid had a problem. He was so immersed in the role he was acting that he couldn't distinguish between himself and Bai Shan. But when I look at him now, it seems that this problem has been alleviated a lot."

Qiao Minxue also agreed: "Yes, I feel like I still have the shadow of Huo Jingtian on me, but I haven't forced all of Huo Jingtian's emotions onto myself."

Shu Ming used to play Zhu Zhen in "Chang'an Ashes". When the plot became depressing in the later stages, few people in the crew dared to talk to him, for fear of making him collapse.

But what about now? He actually just had a big tearful breakdown this morning.

Huo Jingtian has lost too many people and too many precious things. He has encountered so many moments when he was unable to control himself, but he can only shed a crystal clear tear when he looks back inadvertently.

He had just learned of his friend's death, but he was about to attend a banquet, leaving him no time to grieve.

Time waits for no one. If you take a wrong step, you will be in an irretrievable situation.

When a confidant came up to him and whispered, Huo Jingtian almost felt dizzy for a moment. He paused for a moment and even felt his hands and feet go weak and he could no longer stand.

But he still smiled and stretched out his hand, politely inviting the lady to go first.

Step by step.

He took every step with his back straight, looking exceptionally dignified.

If everyone had not read the script and knew what a severe blow he had suffered, it would be difficult to see any clues from his usual smiling face.

It seemed that the death of his best friend was not a big deal to him, and he didn't even have the slightest emotional fluctuation.

But when he turned the stairs, the camera still captured the silent trembling of his eyelashes.

When a tear rolled down his face, the whole audience fell silent.

Although the teardrop disappeared so quickly, so quickly that everyone wondered if it was just an illusion.

But what is indisputable is that Huo Jingtian really shed tears for him.

Could Huo Jingtian, the fourth son of the Huo family, who is omnipotent and in the limelight in the world of fame and fortune, and the ruthless and murderous Huo, also have such a vulnerable moment?

A fragile, almost beautiful... moment.

Huo Jingxuan, the second son of the Huo family, stood at the bottom of the stairs and saw this scene. He almost didn't know whether he should be jealous of his "good friend".

If I could get Huo Jingtian to shed a tear for me in this life, would it be worth it even if I didn't live...?

In short, everyone had their own thoughts, and the play was extremely complex in terms of positioning and emotions. Two years ago, Shu Ming would probably have been unable to come out of the play until the end of the reading.

But he was able to return to normal at night, talking and laughing. This shows that he has a deeper grasp of how to enter and exit the role, and his acting skills have really improved a lot!

Qiao Minxue said meaningfully: "His achievements are far more than this."

Then he reached out and patted Sun Yi on the shoulder: "The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves forward!"

Sun Yi was speechless.

This younger generation is almost going to become your successor, so of course you don’t mind!

I'm afraid that not only does he not mind, he is actually secretly happy in his bed!

**

She hurriedly rejected the invitations from Li Chen and Rong Caiqing, then shook off Xi Jia who was staring at her silently, and repeatedly rejected her boyfriend's request to pick her up from get off work. Finally, she agreed with her brother on the approximate time to go home.

Shu Ming walked briskly and headed straight for a familiar restaurant.

"Here, your favorite tangerine peel and red bean paste."

Someone pushed a bowl of sweet bean paste with tangerine peel that had already been prepared in front of him and said in a strange tone, "Busy man! I've asked you out several times, and you finally decided to come out?"

Shu Ming took his seat calmly, his chin in his hand with a smile on his face. "I'm very busy! I have to learn Cantonese, write music for my next album, compose the OST for "Far Away", write the first draft of my thesis, and learn a lot of other things..."

"But if you ask me out, I will definitely come!"

Geng Guanguan's arrogance in questioning suddenly dropped.

He could only say "Oh" in disappointment.

Then he pushed the bowl of red bean paste toward him.

The author has something to say: I always typecast Huo Jingtian as Huo Tian...

Huo Tiantian, you are so spicy!

Second brother, Li Chen, a younger brother is a younger brother. A younger brother cannot become a wife, not even a fake younger brother...

hey-hey.
