When he returned to the west wing, Chu Yinlong felt a little sorry to see that Jiang Dao was still asleep.
"Director Mu had something to talk to me about, so he was delayed for a while." As he said that, he walked to the socket by the door, unplugged the fully charged headphones, plugged in his phone, opened the e-book and started playing, and finally handed the headphones to Jiang Dao, "Listen."
"Thanks." Jiang Dao took the headset and said casually, "It might rain. I don't know if we can still go out tomorrow."
"Huh?" Chu Yinlong took off his T-shirt and changed into pajamas, wondering, "Where did you see the weather forecast?"
"No," Jiang Dao stared at Chu Yinlong's broad back without hesitation, and stared at him until he changed into pajamas, then lazily retracted his gaze, "Just now when I was playing games, I saw that the clouds looked like it was going to rain, and I smelled it... It will rain either tonight or tomorrow morning, it will definitely rain."
Chu Yinlong smiled and lay on the bed: "So magical?"
Jiang Dao curled his lips: "Forget it if you don't believe it."
Chu Yinlong really didn't believe it: "I checked the forecast for these few days before I set out, and there was no rain."
Jiang Dao scoffed at this: "This place has lakes and mountains. It's ridiculous to give a weather forecast for more than six hours."
"Okay," Chu Yinlong said helplessly, "Jiang Daxian, go to sleep."
"Hmph..." Jiang Dao was too lazy to explain any more. He changed into a comfortable position, hugged the quilt, closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep. In a short while, he fell into a good sleep listening to the magnetic voice of the scholar.
In the dim room, Chu Yinlong turned his head and looked in the direction of Jiang Dao.
The big boy fell asleep very quickly and slept soundly with long breathing. He didn't look like he was suffering from insomnia at all.
But thinking back to this afternoon, he called out several times but failed to wake up Jiang Dao who was suffering from a nightmare. Later, when he took off his headphones, the child opened his eyes almost immediately... The fact that he would suffer from insomnia if he didn't listen to the sounds didn't seem like a lie at all.
I just don't know how Jiang Dao developed this strange habit.
However, there are many people with weird quirks in this world, and Chu Yinlong didn't intend to ask in detail.
He spread out the quilt in the dark and prepared to go to sleep, but he pulled the quilt a little too hard and his hand accidentally touched Jiang Dao's hand at his side.
The next second, Chu Yinlong felt someone suddenly grab his fingers.
"Jiang Dao?" Chu Yinlong called out in surprise in the darkness.
Jiang Dao was breathing slowly and clearly not awake.
However, he still held Chu Yinlong's little finger tightly. Chu Yinlong tried to pull his hand away, but his fingers were held even tighter.
Helplessly, Chu Yinlong decided to wait for Jiang Dao to fall asleep and let go of his hands, and he did not force them open.
Pulling the quilt with his other hand, he lay down straight in his usual sleeping position and soon fell asleep.
A dreamless night.
The next day, when Jiangdao woke up, he heard the sound of rain.
The sky was dim, and there was no trace of the smell of earth in the air. It was obvious that the rain had been falling for a long time and had long since washed away all the dust.
Listening to the clear sound of rain, Jiangdao was in a trance for a moment before he realized that his headphones had fallen off.
He suddenly opened his eyes, raised his hand to his ear in surprise to confirm the whereabouts of the earphones, but suddenly found that what he was holding in his arms was not a quilt, but the arm of the man next to him. The touch of her skin pressed tightly against his arm, bringing with it the other person's slightly higher body temperature, as if it was slowly seeping into his body.
Jiang Dao's heart skipped a beat and he quickly looked at Chu Yinlong's face, hoping that the man he had hugged for no reason had not woken up yet.
Unexpectedly, when they looked up, their eyes met.
Jiangdao: ...
Chu Yinlong: ...
After being stunned for a moment, Chu Yinlong stood up, pulled his arm away without leaving a trace, sat on the edge of the bed and stretched.
Jiang Dao took the opportunity to turn over, pulled the quilt over his waist, and pretended nothing had happened.
The silence in the room lasted for a long time, and Chu Yinlong found a topic first: "It's really raining."
Jiang Dao turned over, raised his head, and said lazily: "How is it? Do you believe me now?"
"I believe it, I believe it." Chu Yinlong smiled, stood up and walked to the door, picking up his mobile phone that was charging.
Then, he said “hmm” in confusion: “Maybe the internet was down last night, and the e-book was stopped… You didn’t sleep all night?”
Jiang Dao then remembered the doubts that had not been resolved just now.
After being stunned for a moment, he raised his hand and touched his empty ear, then turned over and searched on the bed, and finally shook out a Bluetooth headset from the pile of quilts.
"What's going on?" Chu Yinlong couldn't help but ask.
"I... uh, the headphones you lent me fell off while I was sleeping." Jiang Dao said embarrassedly, "I don't know when they fell off."
Chu Yinlong was even more surprised: "Your headphones fell off, and you didn't wake up?"
"I don't know why I didn't wake up." Jiang Dao frowned, lowered his eyes and looked at the small headphone in his hand, trying to recall whether he had any dreams last night, but in the end he found nothing.
He slept very well last night, otherwise he wouldn't have noticed that his earphones had fallen off.
Chu Yinlong stepped forward and searched for a while with Jiang Dao, and took out another earphone from the crack of the pillow.
Putting the earphones back into the charging box, Jiang Dao looked strange: "How strange, since I... uh, I haven't been able to fall asleep without listening to the sound for a long time."
"How did you develop this problem?" Chu Yinlong asked in a joking tone.
"I can't remember." Jiang Dao naturally didn't answer seriously.
However, it was just a casual topic, so Chu Yinlong didn't ask any more questions. He opened the door and looked at the heavy rain outside, and said, "The crew hasn't come up the mountain yet. I guess there's no activity this morning... I don't know what to do with the ingredients for lunch."
At this time Jiang Dao had already stood up and was about to change his clothes. Hearing this, he was surprised: "You're not really going to let us starve, are you?"
Chu Yinlong turned around and raised his eyebrows: "Maybe?"
Jiang Dao looked at the rain outside the window and said, "When I was running yesterday morning, I found a lot of wild vegetables nearby. I can go out in the rain to dig some and bring them back to make some wheat rice."
Chu Yinlong asked with a smile: "Can you recognize wild vegetables?"
Jiang Dao acted proudly and said, "I have strong ability to survive in the wild. A meal is not a problem for me."
After packing up and washing up, Jiang Dao saw that the rain showed no sign of stopping in the short term, so he knew that his morning run would be ruined, so he simply went back to the bedroom and started doing strength training.
Chu Yinlong came back from washing up and laughed when he saw this: "You are quite hardworking."
Jiang Dao said as he did some squats, "I can't help it. I'm too weak. I have to practice."
Chu Yinlong sat down beside the bed, watching Jiang Dao finish a set of training, and suddenly said: "Weak? I saw that you still had some muscles this morning. For an idol star, it's good enough to have such a body. You can do better if you train more."
Jiang Dao rolled his eyes at him and said, "I want to be like you. Who doesn't want eight-pack abs?"
Chu Yinlong didn't comment. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard his phone vibrating. He turned around and answered it: "What's the matter?"
The call came from his assistant: "Jiang Dao's phone was unreachable. His agent found me and said that he had booked a flight for him to Lin City tomorrow morning for an audition."
Chu Yinlong raised his eyebrows: "Audition?"
The assistant said, "Yes, his agent didn't go into detail, but I looked it up and found that there are several crews auditioning at Dulin Film and Television City in Lin City tomorrow. However, the one that best fits Jiang Dao's position is a web drama called "Peach Demon"..."
"You don't need to report this to me." Chu Yinlong interrupted his assistant, "I'll ask him to call his agent back when his phone is returned."
Hearing that the call might be related to him, Jiang Dao stopped training, turned over and sat on the ground, looking at Chu Yinlong in confusion.
On the phone, the assistant spoke faster: "But, boss, the director of that web drama is Li Cheng."
Chu Yinlong's hand holding the phone paused slightly. After a moment, he asked, "Are you sure?"
"Sure." The assistant replied, "But I'm not sure whether the opportunity that Xinghe Media gave Jiang Dao was from his group."
Chu Yinlong was silent and looked at Jiang Dao. His eyes stayed on the big boy's slightly red face, which was covered with sweat, for a long time.
Jiang Dao raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Got it. I'll ask." Chu Yinlong said briefly, "I'm hanging up."
After cutting off the communication, he lowered his eyes and sent a few messages on his phone. But as it was too early, Chu Yinlong waited for a long time without any reply. He threw away his phone in annoyance, walked to the door, and looked at the dense rain curtain outside.
"Looking for my phone number?" Jiang Dao broke the silence.
"Well," Chu Yinlong said in a light tone, "He said he booked a flight for you to fly to Lin City tomorrow for an audition."
Audition?
Why doesn't he remember what scripts Jiang Dao, the villain in the book, received during this period?
Oh... yes, according to the plot in the book, at that time Jiang Dao was making trouble in the crew of "Love", and probably missed the audition.
Jiang Dao sighed.
Sure enough, what is coming cannot be avoided.
He could reject Chu Yinlong's invitation, but he couldn't directly reject the company's job arrangement.
"Don't want to go?" Chu Yinlong asked.
"I don't want to go, but I have to go anyway. I can't refuse the company's arrangement." Jiang Dao said with a sly smile, "But... it doesn't matter. If the performance is not good enough, I won't be selected."
Chu Yinlong raised his eyebrows: "You don't want to act so much?"
Jiang Dao nodded: "Yeah, I just don't want to act."
At this time, a message came back on the phone and Chu Yinlong clicked it immediately. After chatting with the other party for a few words, his face became more and more gloomy, and his brows frowned unconsciously.
After a long time, Chu Yinlong locked his phone, put it back in his pocket, and looked at Jiang Dao with complicated eyes.
Jiang Dao: "What?"
Chu Yinlong continued the topic they had just discussed and said, "The play you are auditioning for is directed by Li Cheng. You look... even if you perform poorly in the audition, Li Cheng will definitely give you a role, and your ranking will not be too low."
Hearing him say this, Jiang Dao was surprised: "What do you mean? Do you know the director I'm auditioning for?"
Chu Yinlong sneered, "Li Cheng is a man of beautiful appearance but rotten inside. People who don't know him probably don't know that he likes pretty boys. In recent years, he has used the resources at his disposal to sleep with many new artists. If you really run into him..."
Jiang Dao's face gradually turned colder, and he stared straight at Chu Yinlong with calmness in his eyes.
"…So, you'd better not go to that audition. Otherwise, once you're offered a role, it will be hard for you to refuse if the company asks you to act." Chu Yinlong said, his voice slightly lighter, with a sense of helplessness that he himself hadn't noticed. "Of course, it's just a suggestion. It's up to you to decide."
After a long time, Jiangdao raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
He looked at Chu Yinlong, his eyes full of self-mockery: "This is why I don't want to stay in the entertainment industry."
What is coming may be late, but it will come eventually.
