Chapter 069
"Besides, I was the one who unilaterally named her Lily."
Lu Yun'er nodded thoughtfully, followed by Xiao Ming and Xiao Jie. When they arrived at the house, Lu Yun'er looked at the old house in front of him.
The dilapidated threshold, the mottled colored sculptures, and the breeze blowing through the forest all made him forget all his thoughts.
He silently watched Lu Xingzhou applying medicine to Lily, half of his face hidden in the shadows, and there were some red bloodstains on his hands.
Lu Yun'er sat down cross-legged silently. He turned and looked at Deng Mei. Deng Mei was looking at this place with sharp eyes and gesturing something with his hands.
Okay, okay, it’s all crazy, it’s all crazy.
After applying medicine to Lily, Lu Xingzhou looked at the other two monkeys. He whispered something to Lily, and Lily's eyes suddenly changed when she looked at Xiao Ming and Xiao Jie.
Then, the people in the live broadcast room, as well as Lu Yuner and Deng Mei, watched a one-sided beating.
Xiaojie and Xiaoming were beaten and screamed. The two monkeys screamed quite loudly, and soon the wall outside was covered with monkey heads.
They stuck their heads out to watch the fun.
The old Monkey King has arrived, and he doesn’t look weak at all from just sitting on the high seat.
Lu Xingzhou watched silently, and when he saw that it was almost time, he said, "Stop."
Lily threw herself into Lu Xingzhou's arms and chirped aggrievedly. Lu Xingzhou patted her head and comforted her, "It's okay. We are queens. We can have as many as we want in the future."
Lily thought about it and realized that it was true. She immediately stood up. Lu Xingzhou said, "Go back. See you tomorrow."
Lily nodded, looked at Lu Xingzhou reluctantly, turned around and disappeared into the yard with the two monkeys.
The live broadcast is still going on and netizens are still not satisfied.
After a while, the sound of a helicopter was heard. Lu Xingzhou looked up and saw packages being dropped from above. He blinked and the phone rang.
Lu Xingzhou picked up the phone. It was Lu's father calling. He told Lu Xingzhou that the things thrown away were all daily necessities. He arranged for a team of renovation workers to come and tidy them up first, install some electrical appliances, and pull up the wires.
As for the filming, let Deng Mei plan it when the time comes, and those rooms will not be renovated for the time being.
Lu Xingzhou said he heard it, and the airdrop from above slowly fell down. It was a huge box, which contained Lu Xingzhou's things and Lu Yuner's things. In addition to these, there were also things like water purifiers.
The well in the backyard has dried up because no one has used it for a long time, and so have the kitchen areas, so when the renovation team comes this time, they will repair these first.
After waiting for the decoration team, Lu Xingzhou decided to go down and meet the leading actors.
Lu Yun'er quietly followed behind Lu Xingzhou and pulled Lu Xingzhou over.
He looked at Lu Xingzhou with a bitter face and said, "Zhou Zhou, can I... change roles?"
Lu Xingzhou looked at him with dead eyes and said, "What role do you want to change to?"
Lu Yuner was almost in tears. He said, "I'm a little bit scared."
Lu Xingzhou looked at Lu Yuner's aggrieved eyes, trembling calves, and sad expression, and he almost laughed out loud. No wonder, when he said that his second brother was the leading actor, the expressions of the others were so strange. He thought it was his second brother who said something.
Lu Xingzhou looked at his second brother sympathetically and said, "But the other characters have to face the same thing."
Lu Yuner was silent. Why did he insist on being so stubborn? Why?
With a look of willingness to die, he said, "Forget it!"
Lu Xingzhou smiled and said, "It's not impossible to switch. How about you switch with Xiaoqing?"
Lu Yun'er's expression was blank for a moment, and Lu Xingzhou continued, "Just change this."
Anyway, he has already decided to let the male protagonist become a monk, so it is okay to change it.
Deng Mei also heard it. It only took a few minutes for him to go from frowning to relaxing. This change is not impossible.
Xiaoqing played the male lead and Lu Yuner played Chu Renmei, which perfectly resolved Lu Yuner's fear.
So, wearing women's clothes...
Deng Mei looked at Lu Yuner with a critical look.
Lu Yun'er obviously thought of this situation as well. Two villains started fighting in his mind. One of them asked him to play the male lead quietly. What was there to be afraid of if they were all fake? There were so many people around.
Another one asked him to put aside his pride, saying that it was just wearing women's clothes and playing a female ghost, so he was not afraid.
While the villains were fighting, they had already arrived at the village below.
This village is a large complex of ancient buildings. All the buildings in the village have flying eaves, curved edges, black tiles and wooden walls.
The bottom of this building is suspended in the air, just like the stilt houses outside, but the difference is that there is no water underneath and the suspension is not very high.
The entire village is built around a tree in the middle, and the main body is in a circular shape.
When Lu Xingzhou and his companions came down, they saw several old ladies dressed in Miao ethnic clothes as soon as they entered the village. The looks they gave them were not very harmonious.
However, when others came over to greet them, their expressions changed again.
The house that Lu Xingzhou and his friends borrowed belonged to a couple who were working away from home. The house was very clean and the things were very exquisite. You could see traces of their ancestors living here for generations. There were many modern facilities inside, but it gave a different feeling when viewed from the outside.
The big money sponsor had arrived, and of course the others came along. When Lu Xingzhou saw the other actors, he looked at them one by one and nodded with satisfaction. He had never seen the real people, but he asked his little cuties to ask around and they were all nice people.
But when he thought of the information updated two days ago, Lu Xingzhou looked at Yan Qing with pity.
Yan Qing was from Guangdong Province. He learned Cantonese opera from the famous Cantonese opera teacher Mr. Zhu. Later, he lived in the imperial capital for many years, so he could understand what was being said.
She didn't originally want to act, but she was a bit short on money recently. When she heard that Lu Xingzhou was looking for a female lead, preferably one who studied Cantonese opera, she thought, hey, isn't this her?
She came over directly, after all, Lu Xingzhou was really generous.
Although it’s not 2.08 million a day, it’s still a lot.
When she received the script, she liked it even more. It was great! She didn't have to show too much of her face, and she could still act crazy in the form of a female ghost.
She fell in love.
So when Lu Xing came on Monday, she immediately poured him a cup of herbal tea.
Lu Xingzhou's expression froze as he looked at the herbal tea in the cup. He really didn't like drinking herbal tea.
Yan Qing looked at the young boy in front of her with anticipation. How should I put it? She was not afraid of the sponsor's unspoken rules at all.
With this look, it's not certain who is taking advantage of whom, and besides, she is underage!
Following Yan Qing's expectation, Lu Xingzhou gritted his teeth and drank the herbal tea. Unlike the bitter taste in his memory, this cup of herbal tea tasted sweet with a hint of medicine, but the medicinal taste was not very obvious.
Lu Xingzhou's eyes lit up, and he looked at Yan Qing and said, "This tastes delicious."
Yan Qing said proudly, "Yes, this is my exclusive secret recipe."
Looking at Lu Xingzhou's eager eyes, Yan Qing's heart softened. He was still a young boy.
She poured him another cup and said, "This is in the mountains, the humidity is high, it's better to drink more."
The second and third male lead also came over. They were both students from the Film Academy and came as a team for the interview. Because their acting skills were indeed good, they were hired and the price was not bad for them.
In addition, they went to take lessons from their acting teacher, and the two were very excited. That teacher was their teacher's teacher.
The price is not cheap, and they also benefit a lot.
They were all young people, so they became familiar with each other after chatting for a while. Lu Xingzhou blinked and looked at Yan Qing, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
How should I tell her that her boyfriend isn't poor, and he's pretending to be poor and asking her for money to go to school just to test her sincerity... And he recently met the innocent and unpretentious Xiao Yangyang, who warmed his heart. He's planning to break up with Yan Qing and be with Xiao Yangyang.
Lu Yuner hissed, no, what kind of scumbag is this man.
Are you testing your sincerity? Do you think you are the emperor?
Lu Xingzhou lowered his head and quietly watched Wang Yu'an and Su Xiangming playing and fighting, still thinking about what to say.
The scumbag felt that Yan Qing's indifference to him during this period must be due to money. He felt that Yan Qing was a woman who only loved money, as she was so ruthless. He didn't believe Yan Qing's claim that she was going to act in a play, and that she was the leading actress, and thought it was just an excuse.
Yan Qing was really concerned by Lu Xingzhou's hesitant look at her. After thinking for a moment, she looked at Xingzhou and said, "Writer Zhou Zhou, do you... have something to say to me?"
Lu Xingzhou pursed his lips. Wang Yuan, the silly boy, jumped over and put his arm around Lu Xingzhou's shoulders and said, "What's wrong, screenwriter Zhou Zhou? Just tell me if you have anything to say~"
Lu Xingzhou looked at Yan Qing, thought for a moment, and said, "This is your private matter. Do you really want me to talk about it here?"
'Personal matters? ? ?'
'Acutely smelled the melon.'
"Zhou Zhou, please tell me quickly. I really want to know what's going on."
'Someone's going to be in trouble again.'
"Well, it's the little sister's personal matter... I guess we should talk about it in private..."
Yan Qing keenly sensed something was wrong. A private matter? Her private matter...
She thought of Mingyuan's indifference to her these past few days. She frowned and stood up and said, "How about we go somewhere else to talk?"
Lu Xingzhou nodded, and they walked into the house. Lu Xingzhou looked at Yan Qing and said, "Um, your boyfriend..."
Yan Qing said with an expression that said, "What happened to Mingyuan?"
Lu Xingzhou was stunned. He said in disbelief, "Your boyfriend's name is Mingyuan?"
He was speechless, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Yan Qing became even more pitiful.
[Oh my goodness, Yan Qing is the one who died early in the story about me and the gloomy young master...]
Lu Yuner exclaimed, and Deng Mei also became interested.
Lu Xingzhou organized his words and said, "Well... that's right, your boyfriend is not some poor little thing..."
Yan Qing narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you mean?"
What else could it mean? He's just pretending to be poor to trick you. The book says Yan Qing died in an accident while earning money for Mingyuan's tuition. Before she died, she was still thinking about Mingyuan needing the money for school. When Mingyuan and Xiao Yang were in a passionate relationship and were about to break up with Yan Qing, he received a relic from Yan Qing. He thought Yan Qing was being naughty again, but when he actually received the relic, he realized what Yan Qing said was true. He cried in pain, and when he saw the pearl necklace in Yan Qing's hand, he felt even sadder...
Yan Qing thought for a moment, then suddenly realized something. She sat down with tears in her eyes and said, "Writer Zhou Zhou, what do you know? Could you please tell me about it?"
Scenes of things that she had ignored in the past flashed before her eyes: his disdain for luxury brands, his contempt when she said she liked jewelry, the way he criticized the famous brands on TV, and his habit of only drinking high-end coffee.
She actually ignored all of this...
Love really makes people blind.
Yan Qing sniffed and concluded sadly.
Lu Xingzhou sighed and said, "Well, his brother is Ming Su, the eldest son of the Ming family and the current ruler of the Ming family. He is the youngest son of the Ming family. He pretends to be poor just to test your sincerity and see if you love him."
Lu Xingzhou felt ashamed when he said this. He didn't understand. Is this person a fool? Money is also a part of you. If you were really poor, would you still have such confidence?
Mingyuan's current behavior is that of a gigolo.
To put it bluntly, Yan Qing can tolerate him and is willing to pay for his tuition. She is simply the ancestor of love-brained people.
It’s not that this is a bad thing. If Mingyuan is sincere and really loves Yan Qing, or treats Yan Qing well, then that’s fine.
The problem is that he's not that bad, he's always so careless and arrogant...
Lu Yun'er was also cursing, but between cursing alone and sharing it with others, he chose to share it with others.
There was no need to hide this matter, he directly posted it in the small group of several brothers.
After typing and sending a long string of messages, his cell phone rang. He opened it and was stunned.
He shared wrongly.
Among them are some of his usual friends, or rather, like-minded friends.
Seeing the screen full of shocked and overjoyed emojis, he quickly said to them, "Don't tell anyone, this is the girl's privacy."
When Yan Qing heard the news, she was so shocked that her voice broke. She said, "No, he's an idiot, isn't he?"
The people outside were all eager to get to know the scoundrel, especially the question of "Is he an idiot?" They really wanted to know who the idiot was.
Lu Xingzhou nodded calmly. He said, "Well... not only that, he recently met a girl called Little Sun... and is planning to take off his vest and start dating her. I'm afraid tomorrow or the day after tomorrow he'll accuse you of being materialistic and refuse to pay you even a little money. He'll tell you he's the young master of the Ming family and then spread rumors that you, the Cantonese opera goddess, are actually a gold digger, blah blah blah."
Yan Qing's anger flared up instantly. She looked at him with an expression that was difficult to describe: "No, is he really sick? I didn't let him spend a penny when we were dating. I even bought him clothes and shoes. Now I work part-time to earn money for his tuition. I think he's a good student and it would be a shame if he didn't go to school. This is how he treats me?"
Lu Xingzhou added, "He's not the one who's doing well in school. The grades you saw are from his roommate. That's the real poor academic tycoon."
Yan Qing became even angrier. She blurted out, "He really hasn't taken a shit in three years."
Lu Xingzhou looked at her strangely, and Yan Qing added, "Stomach bloating."
Lu Xingzhou chuckled and said, "Interesting, you bastard, right?"
Yan Qing nodded, turned around and rushed out, took the cup and poured a large cup of cold tea, gulped it down, and then went back into the room.
The people outside were stunned. When she saw their looks, she said, "I feel a little irritated. Let me cool down."
Lu Xingzhou flipped through the original text and found that Yan Qing's fate had changed. In the original text, Yan Qing went to a teahouse to perform Cantonese opera on stage. As a result, the lights in the teahouse had been in disrepair for a long time and were smashed by Yan Qing. When he was sent to the hospital, he was almost dying. Before he died, he had to give money to that bastard.
Now, Yan Qing is living well with him, so Bai Yueguang has nothing to say.
[This is really a case of taking advantage of someone. Most of the book is just reminiscing about how good Yan Qing was to him, and how much he let Yan Qing down. It's really unlucky. And there's also the confession part. Ugh.]
Lu Yun'er pricked up his ears and continued to listen, while his hands kept on sharing gossip. Since he had shared the wrong things, he would just follow his friends and continue to talk nonsense. It was better for his friends to curse, so he could still curse along with them.
Yan Qing drank a large cup of cold tea, and her anger finally subsided a little. She looked at Lu Xingzhou and said, "So, now it's that bastard who cheated me out of my money and my feelings? I thought he was really a top student, but a little rubbish is pretending to be like this with me. He really deserves to die."
