Chapter 22 The Wind Rises [Author’s Note] He doesn’t hate this kind of cleverness…
I'm very sorry to interrupt your viewing, but I need to explain something.
Since the first article I wrote was a free article, and I abandoned the lists that newcomers care about most and continued to write several free articles, it is not difficult to see that I really write articles for everyone to enjoy reading.
Even if you become a V later, I will still give away more than 100,000 words for free, and try to make the final price of the full text no more than 10 yuan. If it exceeds that, I will also find a way to write more bonus chapters.
As a result, someone suddenly sent me a private message saying "Why did you join vTA? If you join vTA, you won't have money to read it." I was already anxious, and I was really a little upset when I saw this. So I was not even worth four dollars (for the previous article)? (But later a reader comforted me, and I thought it through!)
In order to prevent this from happening again, I am here to talk about it.
The style of the following chapters will be the same as the previous 21 chapters, which are warm, refreshing and sweet. Because I have applied for the list, I may become a V later, so there is no need to tell me anything more.
And except for this one, all my writing will be in this style.
I will continue to write about the collision of one life and another; about life being greater than love; about pure friendship between men and women; about two self-respecting and self-loving people who redeem themselves without relying on others; about a supporting actress who can reach the grand finale without having to revolve around a man.
I know that this way of writing does not conform to the dramatic conflicts that the market likes.
But I still want to try my best to provide a good reading experience for readers like me who like "romance, warmth, speaking freely, and supporting characters also having their own lives".
Thank you to all the readers who have been with me for several years, supporting me and following my updates. I hope you will remain romantic and safe in the real world.
(He bows and leaves with his hands behind his back.)

Chapter 22
Before Zhao Xingyu was about to take off his shoes, Wang Baiyue quickly pressed the camera button, and the picture became a blur of Zhao Xingyu's face. Zhao Xingyu was so anxious that he asked for another photo.
Wang Baiyue waved his phone and said, "Taking photos is free, but deleting photos is fifty."
Zhao Xingyu gritted his teeth.
Okay, okay, this is how you make money, right?
Zhao Xingyu wanted to refute Wang Baiyue, but when he thought of the horrifying memory of Wang Baiyue chasing him before, he took a step back and tried to win over Chen Xing: "Xiaozhu, please help me say something."
Chen Xing was innocent to begin with, and with his eyebrows changed, he looked even more innocent and pitiful, but his words were very hurtful: "How can I help you? I charge one hundred per ticket."
Zhao Xingyu: “???”
After Xiaoling prepared the makeup remover, Chen Xing stopped joining in the fun and sat back in his chair, letting Xiaoling apply makeup here and there.
Chen Xing now had only one idea, which was to finish unloading as soon as possible and go to the "open class" as soon as possible.
He felt a little excited at the thought of fighting scenes.
Xiaoling is quick. It takes her two hours to put on makeup and only a dozen minutes to remove it.
After removing his makeup, Chen Xing quickly changed back into his own clothes - his main color today was red, a maroon knitted button vest with a white shirt underneath, brown loose straight jeans, and an off-white long thick windbreaker as his outer garment.
"I just wanted to say it when I saw you. Your fashion sense is very good." Xiaoling glanced at Chen Xing's body, "It would be even better if you added a beret."
Chen Xing actually felt that something was missing, and after hearing this, he realized that he was indeed missing a hat: "I don't have many hats, and none of this color."
"I can give it to you," Xiaoling remembered something, "Let's add each other's contact information later. My senior schoolmates gave me a lot of hats and accessories. I think they are very suitable for you. I will give them to you when the time comes."
Chen Xing quickly refused: "How embarrassing! I'll buy it from you."
Xiaoling thought that they had just met, and it would be a bit strange to ask for a free gift right away: "This... we'll talk about it later. I'll change your look first."
Xiaoling used a hair dryer to blow Chen Xing's hair. The wet hair suddenly became fluffy and a few curls were pulled, making the hair look thick and dense.
Chen Xing felt that his trip was well worth it. If he put his skills in a street barber shop, he would charge at least 400 yuan, right?
"If you go back and find that there are places that you didn't remove the makeup, just apply some makeup remover again," Xiaoling said.
Chen Xing stood up, exchanged contact information with Xiaoling, waved his hand and said, "Then I'll be leaving first."
Chen Xing opened the door and walked along the corridor towards the end of the light.
Leaving the room, there is another sunny sky, as if the sun is embracing the earth, and the branches and leaves are kissing it, revealing the green of spring, which is surging.
Chen Xing hummed a little tune and sent a message in the group.
【Chen Xing】: I’m done with work. I’m leaving now to learn fighting scenesヽ(≧U≦)? ?
【Wang Baiyue】: Bro! You're just going to abandon us like this?!
[Zhao Xingyu]: I am also getting well. I feel like Huan Ge will be the last one to get well. He seems to have three more sets.
【Chen Xing】：Can we still have dinner together? (*T_T*)
[Zhao Xingyu]: It’s okay, I’ll accompany you! Eat as much as you can!
【Chen Xing】：Okay! (*≧U≦）
Chen Xing was the third person to arrive at the practice room and sat obediently in the first row.
After a few minutes, the door was pushed open again and the crowd came in one after another. Twelve contestants came at once. Chen Xingguang was looking at his phone and didn't notice anyone walking up to him until the chair to his left moved. He looked up then.
It was neither Zhao Xingyu nor Wang Baiyue, but the unexpected Li Mu.
Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, then greeted, "Hello, Brother Mu."
Li Mu's private clothes were as simple as Xia Huanming's. He wore black-framed glasses with thick lenses, which made his eyes look a size smaller.
Li Mu didn't treat Chen Xing as an outsider at all. He sat in a relaxed and casual posture, with his elbows resting on the back of the chair, and said with a smile: "I heard from Qi Yinrui that yesterday was your highlight moment?"
Chen Xing looked back and saw Qi Yinrui sitting in the last row, chatting with his team members.
This person seemed to have some kind of telepathy. He suddenly looked at Chen Xing, nodded and smiled.
Chen Xing turned his head back and waved his hand modestly: "No, no, I just performed a little bit. Brother Mu, why are you sitting here? Where are the people in your team?"
"They'll be here soon. Let me chat with you for a while before we sit back down," Li Mu leaned close to Chen Xing's ear and said, "Do you want to know what happened when your captain was in the same crew with me?"
Chen Xing blinked and said, "What's the matter? Good or bad? If it's bad, don't tell me."
"Why would I tell you something bad? I'm not a big mouth," Li Mu hooked his fingers and whispered, "You don't know, Xia Huanming is nicknamed Koi in our crew. As long as we go over the script with him the day before filming, good things will happen. After the leading actress Dandan rehearsed with him, the lost dog came back the next day. After Xia Huanming and I went over the script, I was nominated for the Newcomer Actor Award the next day."
Chen Xing thought for a moment and said, "So you came to me, don't you want us to lend Xia Huanming to you for a day?"
Li Mu gave a thumbs up: "This kid has a bright future."
Chen Xing didn't quite understand how this matter related to him.
At most, he is a member of Xia Huanming's team. No matter how close their relationship is, they are just roommates. What's the point of talking to him?
Chen Xing answered truthfully: "Then just tell him directly. If he agrees, that's enough. What's the point of telling me?"
Li Mu half covered his face and looked at him seriously: "Because I'm shy."
Chen Xing: “…”
Chen Xing didn't know what to say in response for a moment.
Li Mu saw Chen Xing frowning, and he covered his stomach and laughed softly: "Hahahaha - look at your expression, hahaha, okay I won't tease you anymore, I don't know if Xia Huanming is lucky or not, but he is really smart, don't be fooled by him again and again."
Chen Xing was speechless.
Sorry, I've been fooled before.
Li Mu was also a sharp-eyed man. He noticed Chen Xing's hesitation and became even happier: "Hahaha - it seems you've been tricked before. The biggest problem with that guy is that he's too smart. I'm scared of being tricked by him. Hahaha, now it's your turn."
“…”
They were laughing here, and Chen Xing could hear the voices of Zhao Xingyu and Wang Baiyue from a distance.
When he heard it more clearly, they were already in front of him.
Zhao Xingyu glanced at Li Mu and asked, "What are you guys talking about that makes you laugh so happily?"
"Nothing, just chatting." Li Mu smiled and shook his head, then stood up. "Now that you're here, I should go too. Bye, little pig."
Chen Xing waved his hand: "Bye."
As soon as Li Mu left, Zhao Xingyu sat down on the left side of Chen Xing and asked, "What did Li Mu come to see you about?"
Chen Xing recalled the conversation just now and said with certainty: "Come here to tell me a joke."
Just as he finished speaking, the martial arts teacher came.
The leading teacher bowed to everyone and said, "This morning we will have an explanation class. I brought some appreciation videos that you can watch. In the afternoon we will practice with real guns."
After all, the martial arts teachers were born as stunt doubles. They had never taken classes or performed lines before. It was inevitable that they would be nervous when speaking in front of so many artistes.
After saying this, Chen Xing looked at the teacher and saw that he was sweating profusely.
Chen Xing was the first to applaud and shouted, "Okay! I'll follow the teacher's instructions!"
Others also began to applaud and encourage them: "Well said, teacher! Say more, we like to hear!"
"That's right! The teacher is right!"
The four teachers on the stage were no longer nervous. They nodded with satisfaction and proceeded to the next task.
Gu Yirou at the door thoughtfully wrote the number behind Chen Xing's name on the tablet.
Chen Xing knew nothing about this. He only thought about how to cooperate with the teachers. Then he realized that he knew nothing about martial arts. He could agree with the teacher when he said something like "lift the gun" or "sweep the classroom", but he didn't know anything about words like "wrist flower" that he had never heard of.
If only the captain was here at this time. Chen Xing sighed.
He misses his "simultaneous interpreter" all the time.
By the time the "simultaneous interpreter" arrived, it was already the "open class" in the afternoon after lunch.
When everyone came back from the cafeteria, they spent the entire time discussing the script and the food in the cafeteria.
“I think the noodles with soybean paste are pretty good.”
"Then I'll try it next time. This time I got dumplings with pork and celery flavor. They're pretty delicious."
"Well, forget it. I don't eat celery."
"Are you still picky about food?"
…
Chen Xing walked behind the team and found a familiar figure sitting at his seat at the door, with Zheng Qi speaking next to him.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly walked to the front row, stood in front of the long legs, looked at the two of them with surprise, but only asked the man in front of him: "How did you know we were sitting here?"
Because he knew that the only one who could guess that they were here was Xia Huanming.
"Ahuan said that since you are looking forward to this class so much, you will definitely choose the first row, so we will sit here," Zheng Qi patted Xia Huanming's shoulder, "right?"
Xia Huanming, who was wearing a hat, slowly raised the angle of his chin, finally revealing his eyes and looking at Chen Xing. Chen Xing could see the joy in Xia Huanming's indifference.
Chen Xing only saw Xia Huanming's lips curl up slightly, and his voice was clear and pleasant: "It seems that I know you well."
Although Xia Huanming was sitting, his gaze was deep and he had a calmness that showed he had everything under control.
Chen Xing immediately understood that Xia Huanming was responding to what he had said before.
Li Mu was right, this guy’s biggest problem was that he was too smart.
But Chen Xing doesn't hate this kind of cleverness.
