Chapter 53 Guess who I am at the summer solstice.
Xia Huanming clenched his fists slightly, then quickly released them. He tried his best to put on a friendly smile to face the child.
"Why do you say that brother...likes him?" Xia Huanming asked softly.
Guoguo tilted his head and answered seriously: "Aren't you friends? My mother said that if you don't like each other, you won't be friends."
Sure enough, what Guoguo understood was different from what he thought.
Xia Huanming's heavy heart quietly settled down, and he showed Guo Guo a friendly smile: "Yes, I like him as much as you do."
"I'm so smart!" Guoguo put his hands on his hips proudly.
Xia Huanming looked at the little boy in front of him and thought for a moment: "Then let me give you a suggestion for a gift. Do you know how to do handicrafts in school? You can just give him something he made himself."
"Really?!" Guoguo's eyes lit up, and she stepped back and bowed to Xia Huanming on the chair, "Thank you, Brother Xiaoxia!"
Xia Huanming smiled and nodded. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a lady in a windbreaker walking towards him from the left. She winked at him, but Xia Huanming said nothing.
The lady slowed down her pace, walked quietly behind Guoguo, patted Guoguo on the shoulder, and said affectionately: "Hey, why are you here?"
Guoguo was startled at first, but when he noticed who was coming, his eyes sparkled with joy. But maybe he remembered that he was still angry, so he immediately lowered his head and pretended to be busy clicking his fingers.
The lady greeted Xia Huanming with a pleasant expression: "Hello, I am Guoguo's mother. Thank you, actor Xia, for taking care of her. Did she cause you any trouble?"
Xia Huanming shook his head and replied, "No, she is very well behaved."
Guoguo's mother poked Guoguo's cheek and said gently, "Guoguo, let's go."
Guoguo ignored her and snorted softly.
The woman was not annoyed, her voice was still gentle: "Aren't you leaving? I bought you a drink."
Guoguo immediately turned around and said, "Let's go then."
Xia Huanming: “…”
Xia Huanming suddenly thought of someone who was also so easy to please.
The lady picked up Guoguo and smiled to Xia Huanming as if everything was going as she expected.
Guoguo turned sideways and waved her little hand to Xia Huanming to say goodbye: "See you later, Brother Xia."
Xia Huanming politely replied: "Well, see you later."
After Guoguo left, Xia Huanming was reading the script, and faintly heard a few laughs. He raised his head slightly and saw that it was indeed Shen Miao chatting with the staff.
In the third episode, the two partners are no longer Huang Canni and Shao Shuxian, but Shen Miao and Shao Shuxian.
There is no need to say much about Shao Shuxian. She has always been so introverted. Now I don’t know where she is memorizing her lines in some little corner.
Although Shen Miao was in their group for the first time, she became familiar with the staff in less than a day. Her social skills were even more astonishing than Chen Xing's.
That’s right, if pdd can become friends with just one blow, then there is nothing else that she can’t make friends with.
As Xia Huanming was thinking this, another burst of laughter came from the other side.
Today, Shen Miao wore a pair of high heels, which made her half a head taller than the staff surrounding her. From a distance, one could see that she had a high ponytail with a braided knot.
The crowd made way for her, revealing her filming outfit - a neatly cut camel wool coat, a beige turtleneck sweater, and dark grey wool cigarette pants.
Shen Miao held a lollipop between her fingers hanging by her thigh. She raised the lollipop, with the stick facing her mouth, and smiled as she spoke to them, "Hey, in the scene in the water, the director told me to imagine myself as a fish that had just died, so how would I know what a fish that had just died was thinking?"
"Hahahaha, this description is indeed a bit outrageous."
"But I saw that you did a great job in the latter part."
"I'll take this as a compliment on my acting skills, hahahaha."
Following Shen Miao's hearty laughter, Xia Huanming jumped out of sight.
As a result, he didn't go to see it, and someone came to find him.
The sound of chatting gradually faded away, and the sound of high heels came from far away.
Xia Huanming lowered his head and flipped through the script when he heard a "click" and a hand suddenly fell on the table, tapping lightly with its fingertips.
When Xia Huanming raised his eyes, Shen Miao had already sat down opposite him. His eyes fell directly on him, and he raised the corners of his lips: "Why are you alone? I saw you were chatting with the kids. If I didn't know, I would think you were excluded."
Xia Huanming stared at her and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You've been here a long time ago?"
Shen Miao shrugged: "Even if I don't come, I can still listen to others. There is a big bad wolf and Little Red Riding Hood here."
After Shen Miao finished her makeup, she heard the staff talking about the Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood. She was wondering what they were, but when she saw them, she was so happy.
Based on the scene just now, Shen Miao gave the following advice: "You are really not suitable for taking care of children. You are suitable for kidnapping children."
Xia Huanming: “…”
Xia Huanming's silence made Shen Miao feel even funnier. Not only did she burst out laughing, she also wanted to post this matter to her group. In the end, due to the friendship between friends, she did not post it.
In fact, it was mainly because Xia Huanming's face was a little dark, and Shen Miao put away his phone tactfully. Although Xia Huanming had a good personality, he was not easy to be teased.
"Oh, our Xianxian is still interesting. Let's go find her." Shen Miao stood up slowly and went to find Shao Shuxian who had finished filming.
...What did she come here for?
Xia Huanming had this doubt in his mind, but in the end he didn't think much about it and picked up his phone to check the message.
There was no news in their group, but his college friends came to see him and asked him when he would be free for a barbecue gathering in the dormitory.
Xia Huanming typed a reply: "I haven't been free these past few months, as you know."
[He Shu]: I know, I just came here to take advantage of the popularity
【Xia Huanming】: ...
[Xia Huanming]: After it's over, the popularity will still be there, and some people will take advantage of it.
[He Shu]: OK OK, just do your thing, big star
Xia Huanming frowned and typed, "Don't call me that."
The other party sent a tongue-sticking emoticon.
[Xia Huanming]: You called me that in college. Can you change it?
[He Shu]: You are a big star now. Most of my friends are watching Acting First and your videos.
[Xia Huanming]: ...You are too high-profile.
[He Shu]: So what?
[He Shu]: Doesn't this prove that the Pygmalion effect really works? Hahaha, I'll dare to do it again next time.
Xia Huanming wanted to turn back, but his eyes were suddenly covered by a pair of cold hands. The scent of gardenia-scented hand cream seeped into his nostrils. His breathing stagnated and his eyelashes trembled in the other person's palms.
Then, I heard the clear and pleasant sound of wind chimes blowing in the spring breeze.
"Guess who I am!"
How could Xia Huanming not guess it?
He has listened to the song hundreds of times, not to mention that he has been falling asleep to the sound every now and then.
Xia Huanming moved his fingertips and grasped the wrist covering his eyes, with a force lighter than the falling snow.
After the hand was put down, his eyes just focused on the front again, but he suddenly felt a cool touch on his chin. The slender fingertips gently brushed his cheek, the movement was as gentle as touching a precious piece of porcelain.
"You look really handsome in this outfit, like a man." Chen Xing's voice was filled with laughter.
Xia Huanming raised his head consciously, buried the back of his head in the other's soft cotton coat, and then met Chen Xing's straightforward gaze.
Those eyes were like sunlight shining on the lake, creating ripples.
All, all.
At this moment, my heartbeat was thumping against my ribs, making my collarbone numb.
The deafening voice was exactly the same as the morning when he discovered that he liked Chen Xing.
Xia Huanming's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he said, "You're here."
Chen Xing rubbed his chin with his fingertips, which made him feel itchy. However, the person concerned did not think much about this action and was still teasing him naturally: "Uh-huh, are you waiting for me? Or were you just sending me a message? Haha, I'm just kidding."
Xia Huanming then remembered that he did not block the phone, so from Chen Xing's angle he could naturally see the name at the top.
He was immediately annoyed. If he had known that Chen Xing was coming now, he would have switched to Chen Xing's interface.
Xia Huanming put the phone screen on the table and quickly replied: "I wanted to send you a message, but then I thought you should come, so I didn't contact you."
"And then I just showed up like this? That's such a coincidence." Chen Xing held Xia Huanming's face and swayed his body left and right. Xia Huanming also swayed with him. "I see that you usually act like a business person in our group, and you answer us with simple 'ok's' and 'hmm's. But you are very lively when chatting with others."
Xia Huanming felt a little disturbed.
Although Chen Xing's words were calm and seemed to be spoken casually, he couldn't help but wonder if there was a hint of jealousy in them.
In fact, if Chen Xing paid close attention to the chat records in the group, he would find that Xia Huanming would always type a few more words when replying to him, and would also give priority to replying to him when receiving private messages.
But it’s better this way, at least I can hear Chen Xing showing a little bit of unhappiness because of this matter.
Thinking of this, Xia Huanming was secretly delighted, but he remained calm on the surface and explained in a serious tone: "He is my good friend from college. We have known each other for many years. He has helped me a lot, so we are quite familiar with each other. After a while, I will probably chat with you in the same way."
Chen Xing joked: "It seems that the persuasion is still not enough."
The two of them chatted for a while, and Zheng Qi came over with a thermos bottle in his hand, with a gentle smile on his face: "I looked over from a distance and thought it was Xing Tian, with a head dragged off."
Chen Xing was amused. He loosened his hands that were cupping his cheeks and put them back on Xia Huanming's trapezius muscle: "It would be so awkward for me to press my body against his head."
Xia Huanming felt a little unsatisfied, so he touched his chin, leaned forward slightly, sat up straight and listened to the two people chatting.
Zheng Qi asked Chen Xing: "I just thought of a very advanced joke, do you want to hear it?"
Chen Xing rubbed Xia Huanming's clothes and shook his head, "Do you still want to tell jokes in such a cold day?"
Zheng Qi quickly switched hands to hold the thermos cup, as if he was afraid of missing the opportunity to share. He explained anxiously, "It's not a joke. This time it's very advanced."
Xia Huanming raised his head and looked at Chen Xing. Chen Xing's eyes met his. The two looked at each other, nodded in tacit understanding, and said in unison: "Then listen."
Zheng Qi cleared his throat: "Do you know how to say a bench in English?"
Chen Xing: "Chair?"
Xia Huanming: "bench."
Zheng Qi waited for them to fall into the trap, then shook his finger in a pretentious manner and said, "Wrong."
Impossible. Isn’t the English word for bench “bench”?
Xia Huanming frowned slightly and asked, "What is that?"
Zheng Qi: “abandon.”
Xia Huanming: “…”
Xia Huanming was speechless for a moment, just like taking a mouthful of rice after having a fish bone stuck in his throat, with a subtle feeling of blockage.
He was about to speak when he heard Chen Xing excitedly praising: "Wow, this is amazing, a combination of Chinese and Western, so clever."
Xia Huanming: “?”
Chen Xing's eyes fell directly on Zheng Qi, his face full of sincere admiration. This was obviously not a perfunctory compliment to give Zheng Qi face, but admiration from the heart.
Xia Huanming: “…”
You have such a kind heart, what will you do in the future?
Zheng Qi was very happy after being praised. He ruffled Chen Xing's hair and said, "Isn't it? I was just saying this is clever!"
Chen Xing nodded and was about to ask Xia Huanming how he felt, but he saw Xia Huanming suddenly stand up like a bamboo shoot that suddenly rises from the ground.
Chen Xing was slightly stunned.
He didn't feel anything when he just sat down, but after Xia Huanming stood up, Chen Xing found that Xia Huanming had become much bigger - his already broad shoulders looked even more sturdy against the cotton coat, and the whole person seemed to occupy more space.
It was originally a double-door refrigerator, but now it has four doors.
Chen Xing thought so and met Xia Huanming's gaze. Xia Huanming looked at him straight and said, "It's getting late. You should go to the rehearsal."
Chen Xing looked down at his phone and found that it was almost time.
The next scene was his rivalry with Shao Shuxian. When he arrived, he saw Shao Shuxian and Shen Miao chatting. They should have finished chatting by now, so it was just right for him to go over.
"Then I'll go find Shao Shuxian." Chen Xing greeted the two people and ran to find someone.
Chen Xing finally found Shao Shuxian on a bench. Shao Shuxian was wrapped in a thick winter coat and only wore a lake blue woolen skirt.
When he came, Shao Shuxian's legs were stretched forward casually, her heels lightly resting on the ground, and her whole body exuded a lazy aura.
When Shao Shuxian noticed someone coming, she immediately retracted her legs and changed into the standard sitting posture like a flight attendant.
After Chen Xing explained his purpose, Shao Shuxian moved to the side awkwardly and said, "Hello."
"Hello."
Chen Xing's impression of Shao Shuxian has always been that of a decisive and cold-blooded killer in film and television dramas, so when chatting with Shao Shuxian, he always feels like he is chatting with "twins".
This feeling disappeared instantly when I read the lines.
Because when Shao Shuxian was acting, her timidity completely disappeared, and her tone and state suddenly became that of the "sunny" girl in the script.
This is the basic quality of an actor. Chen Xing admires her from the bottom of his heart.
After acting with so many people, Chen Xing gradually discovered that different actors have their own little habits when reading lines.
When Xia Huanming reads the lines, he pays more attention to the tone of voice, which makes it sound like a radio drama without action; when Zheng Qi reads the lines, he will cover his eyes after reading for a while, focusing on eye contact with his opponent; and Shao Shuxian will follow the hand movements, such as scratching the nose at this time and nodding at that time.
Thinking about it this way, even when Xia Huanming was speaking his own lines, he would be asked to read them first, as a way to train his abilities.
Xia Huanming is really an excellent person, Chen Xing thought thoughtfully.
He already knew that Xia Huanming took good care of him, but after comparing him with others, he discovered that there were many details that he had not noticed.
It seems that I have to buy something to repay Xia Huanming when I return.
"Actually, I like you too..." Shao Shuxian continued her lines.
Shao Shuxian's line delivery is not bad, and one can even say that she is worthy of being a movie actor. When she reads some soft lines, her voice has a hoarse texture.
No wonder teacher Gu Yirou just asked her to speak more boldly and had no problem with her lines.
Shao Shuxian also did a good job. If Chen Xing read something wrong, she, like Xia Huanming, would wait until he finished speaking before pointing it out instead of interrupting him.
Shao Shuxian pointed to Chen Xing's script and said, "Look here, the children are running over. You know they will give you a surprise, so it's not very obvious, and that's right."
Chen Xing nodded: "Yeah."
Shao Shuxian paused and continued, "But your biography also says that you are a teacher who particularly likes children. You want to satisfy the needs of children as much as possible and make them happy, so you will definitely pretend to be extremely happy to appease them. So the tone here needs to be a little more exaggerated."
"Oh——" Chen Xing suddenly realized, "I was wondering why it looked so strange when I read it myself, so this is it."
After rehearsing the lines, Shao Shuxian returned to her usual timid self, rubbing her hands together in confusion, without even looking at Chen Xing: "You have a strong learning ability, you have made so much progress."
Chen Xing was not shy at all and thanked him readily: "Thank you!"
"It's not that exaggerated," Shao Shuxian lowered her head, her voice getting smaller and smaller, "I didn't do anything, it's just that you have a good understanding. It seems that your teammates often help you..."
By the end, Chen Xing could no longer hear clearly what Shao Shuxian was saying, but he could roughly understand it.
"They really helped me a lot, especially Xia Huanming, who helped me a lot." Chen Xing turned the topic to Shao Shuxian and said with a smile, "Your voice when speaking the lines has become much louder. Your teammates should have helped too."
Shao Shuxian nodded heavily, her voice a little louder: "Well, Miaomiao Canni helped me a lot."
Chen Xing suddenly had an idea and said seriously, "It just so happens that Shen Miao and Xia Huanming are here today. We must act out this rivalry well and let them see the effect."
Shao Shuxian was immediately persuaded and agreed confidently: "Okay!
