Chapter 18: The Mind-Reading Vixen
Luo Qinglin's heart was in turmoil, but fortunately he remained calm: "I saw it in a movie."
"Which movie?" Jiang Yanyu pressed on. "A foreign movie or a domestic movie? In what movie can the phrase 'silent first crush' appear? This phrase is not common."
"I watched it in college. I forgot the title."
Heat surged in his ears again, and Luo Qinglin quickly covered his ears. He wanted to turn his head to avoid it, but the camera was so close that he could only endure the numbness and itchiness and remain motionless.
"Hugging and kissing in the street is immoral!"
When Xi Min's voice sounded, Luo Qinglin breathed a sigh of relief and pushed Jiang Yanyu's chest with his hand.
Jiang Yanyu did not move, still holding the person in his arms tightly, and said disdainfully: "Little kid, you are surprised by what you have never seen before."
"You! Don't use this sentence to cover up your dirty thoughts!" Xi Min blushed.
Seeing Ximin's overreaction, Jiang Linxu asked in confusion: "Do you have a fever? Why is your face so red?"
"No," Xi Min raised his voice, "Jiang Jiang, let's go to the restaurant first. Let them stay here and it will be a disgrace to the society."
After saying that, Xi Min pulled Jiang Linxu into the restaurant, and Xuan Chu parked his bicycle, said mysteriously, "Brother Qinglin, please be more honest," and left with his arm around He Yihan.
Several cameras followed into the restaurant, leaving only one outside to shoot.
"How long are you going to hold on? Everyone is waiting for us to go in."
Luo Qinglin struggled hard against the arms that were restraining his waist, but Jiang Yanyu was too strong and the arms held him tighter and tighter, making it difficult for Luo Qinglin to breathe.
After struggling for a few times, it was useless, so Luo Qinglin dropped his hands and was too lazy to struggle, ready to wait for Jiang Yanyu to let go on his own.
"Tell me again that you don't like mulberries, and I'll let you go."
Jiang Yanyu's voice was trembling and slightly unstable. The vibration of his vocal cords went along the skin of Luo Qinglin's neck, all the way to his heart, making his heart itch.
"I don't like mulberries." Luo Qinglin said without hesitation.
Jiang Yanyu was quiet for a few seconds, then slowly let go of her hand and looked down at Luo Qinglin, "You are not allowed to like mulberries in the future."
"Got it," Luo Qinglin got off the bicycle, took Jiang Yanyu's hand and said, "Let's go in, don't let everyone waste time waiting for us."
The restaurant where we had lunch was simple and quaint in style. The outer door was made of old pear wood and painted with dark brown protective paint. Pushing open the outer door, you will see a straight path paved with irregular stone slabs in the courtyard, with flowers and plants planted on both sides, which is very quiet.
Walking to the inner door, the restaurant has a quiet environment. The walls are covered with cylindrical solid wood sticks, with spider plants of different heights hanging between the sticks, like an irregular puzzle.
For the shoot, seating for six was taken on the restaurant terrace.
The terrace has a beautiful view. Looking out from the railing, you can see the shimmering Yeyu Lake and the picturesque green hills.
The program crew had already ordered the food, and several people were sitting at the wooden table waiting for Luo Qinglin and Jiang Yanyu to arrive.
After taking their seats, Luo Qinglin smiled apologetically at everyone, picked up his chopsticks and asked everyone to start eating.
"Brother Qinglin," Ximin cleared his throat, "We just decided to play games while eating. Just eating would be a bit boring."
The game was not in the script. Luo Qinglin looked out of the camera awkwardly. Seeing Yu Qin nodding at him encouragingly, he asked, "What game do you want to play?"
"Let's play the binary guessing game. This is a little easier and suitable for couples."
What game is this? !
Luo Qinglin was busy all year round and seldom played and socialized with others. When he heard about a strange game that only he didn't know but everyone else seemed to know, he felt even more that he was getting old.
Moreover, Xi Min and Jiang Linxu were looking at him expectantly, looking forward to his reply. Luo Qinglin didn't dare to ask, as he was really afraid that the two young people would feel that there was a generation gap between them.
Luo Qinglin hesitated to answer, Jiang Linxu blinked and asked: "Brother Qinglin, do you have any other games you want to play?"
"No, I..." Luo Qinglin said hesitantly.
"How do we play binary word guessing?" Jiang Yanyu, who had been silent since taking his seat, suddenly asked.
Xi Min stared in disbelief, "You don't even know how to play this game?"
"I'm not a child, of course not." Jiang Yanyu snorted coldly.
Hearing the word "child", Xi Min's body shuddered uncomfortably. He glared at Jiang Yanyu and stopped arguing with him.
"You two each write something that belongs to the same category, such as a musical instrument, food, etc., and then ask each other questions. The respondent can only answer 'yes' or 'no' until the final guess is correct."
Fortunately, the rules of the game were simple, and Luo Qinglin understood them as soon as he heard them. He immediately felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
After hearing the soft cry, Jiang Yanyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Got it, let's get started."
First, Xi Min and Jiang Linxu guessed. They decided on a difficult "classical music" and both wrote unpopular works without admitting defeat. But in the end, they both blushed and had no clue.
When the answer was announced, Xi Min wrote Grieg's "Ich liebe dich"① (German: I love you), while Jiang Linxu wrote Beethoven's "Ich liebe dich"②.
Although no one guessed it, both of them were thinking "I love you". All their impatience and anger turned into pink bubbles in the end, feeding the adults a big mouthful of dog food.
When it was Xuan Chu and He Yihan's turn, they both wrote about the food on the table and quickly ended the game.
When it was Luo Qinglin's turn, he was a little nervous. He thought of a safe classification and asked Jiang Yanyu: "How about guessing... a movie?"
Jiang Yanyu raised his eyebrows, picked up the pen and wrote a few words on the paper, and said, "You ask first."
"Is it a domestic movie?" Luo Qinglin asked.
"Yes." Jiang Yanyu answered and stopped talking.
Seeing that no one asked questions, Luo Qinglin reminded: "It's your turn to ask me."
Jiang Yanyu supported his face with one hand, stared into Luo Qinglin's eyes, and within a few seconds he said, "You are thinking about Chungking Express."
Can a male vixen actually read minds? !
Luo Qinglin opened his eyes wide in surprise, turned his head and looked at the others for help, "He guessed it right, should I continue to ask him, or just guess directly?"
Xi Min didn't believe it, so he took the movie title written by Luo Qinglin on the paper and found that it was indeed "Chungking Express"③.
"Then...then guess what Brother Jiang wrote?" Xi Min said as he took the note from Jiang Yanyu.
After all, he only asked one question and had no idea in his mind, so Luo Qinglin just guessed, "Happy Together?"
"Fuck! You two didn't cheat, did you?" Xi Min turned the note over to everyone, and sure enough, it said "Happy Together"④.
"I'm surprised by what I've seen," Jiang Yanyu raised his head slightly and said to Yu Qin, "We used the shortest time and won the game. What's the reward?"
When did a word guessing game become a competition?
Yu Qin was suddenly addressed, but he didn't react. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "What reward do you want?"
"We will be free in the afternoon and have a date alone. We won't go to the cafe with them." Jiang Yanyu said with half-closed eyes.
Jiang Yanyu's fox eyes narrowed, and his gaze immediately became sharp, as if a real sword was shooting out of the camera, making Yu Qin panic.
Who dares not agree to your sponsor’s request? If he dared to say no, he might even lose his position as interim chief director.
Yu Qin recalled the scene before they set off, when several bodyguards in black suits tied up Lin Han and dragged him away, and his body shuddered unconsciously.
Even though I was trembling inside, I couldn't lose face. Yu Qin propped up his chin and pretended to think for a moment, then nodded and said, "We're going to the pub to shoot tonight, so please be there on time."
"No problem." Jiang Yanyu retracted his gaze, held Luo Qinglin's hand under the table, and squeezed it gently.
Luo Qinglin turned his head and looked.
Under the light, Jiang Yanyu's mouth corners were slightly raised, and the fine golden hairs on his cheeks were shaking slightly in the wind, revealing a playfulness that was not in line with his age.
His heart suddenly started beating faster, Luo Qinglin turned his head calmly and continued to eat quietly. He did not take his hand back, but let Jiang Yanyu hold it secretly.
After lunch, the filming crew split into two groups. The main group followed Xi Min and his group to the coffee shop, leaving only one cameraman to follow Jiang Yanyu and Luo Qinglin.
"Where are we going now?" Luo Qinglin asked.
"Just walk around, chat and take photos." Jiang Yanyu replied.
"You want to take pictures? I don't have my camera with me, I have to go back to the villa to get it."
"Who said they wanted to take a picture of me? Take pictures of what you want," Jiang Yanyu said, half sitting on the bicycle seat, pointing to the southwest. "You don't have to go back to the villa to get the camera. It has already arrived by itself."
Luo Qinglin looked in the direction the finger was pointing.
Qin Xiaoxi was pedaling a bicycle with a large backpack on her shoulder. She was panting as she pedaled, and she looked so tired as if she had not eaten a full meal for three days and three nights.
"Brother Luo, Brother Jiang!" The smile on Qin Xiaoxi's face was very formal, full of the self-consciousness of a social animal meeting his boss.
Why do you suddenly call him Luo Di? Is Qin Xiaoxi stimulated?
The bicycle stopped in front of her, Luo Qinglin took the backpack from her hand and asked worriedly: "Are you... okay?"
Reminded by Xi Min yesterday, Qin Xiaoxi believed that the reason why Jiang Yanyu called her every morning to wake her up to do things must be because she called Luo Qinglin "Qinglin", which was too intimate and aroused the jealousy of the jealous capitalist.
After learning from the painful experience, Qin Xiaoxi decided to bow down for a few pieces of silver and from now on she would call him "Luo Di".
Mission accomplished, Qin Xiaoxi said with a wry smile: "I'm going back first, come on guys, if you need anything, just call me!"
After saying that, Qin Xiaoxi pedaled away again, grunting and puffing, without any reluctance to leave, leaving behind only a gust of wind, and her speed was so fast that the black hair on her shoulders fluttered.
Luo Qinglin opened his backpack and checked the items. There wasn't much in it, only a camera, a pack of tissues, two bottles of water and two bags of glucose solution.
"Why is there still glucose solution?" Luo Qinglin asked.
Jiang Yanyu looked away and said with resentment: "You ate too little last night and didn't eat well today. What if you get hypoglycemia later? You are an adult, not an ignorant child. I can't force you to eat."
Feeling warm in his heart, Luo Qinglin whispered, "I know. I will eat more in the future."
Jiang Yanyu snorted coldly, obviously not believing it.
Luo Qinglin coughed a few times and changed the subject: "Where are we going now?"
Jiang Yanyu finally turned his head after hearing this, stared into Luo Qinglin's eyes and said, "Do what you want to do."
The breeze started to blow again, and the billowing smoke and dust were carried into the air and blew into people's eyes, noses and mouths.
Blinded by the wind and sand, Luo Qinglin rubbed his eyes vigorously and muttered, "What?"
Jiang Yanyu smiled helplessly, wet a tissue with mineral water, and gently wiped Luo Qinglin's eyes, while wiping, he replied: "Photographing the human world."
