Chapter 51 Don’t be so sentimental
Seeing that she couldn't escape, Wen Shuang simply turned around and said, "No, I thought you guys had something to ask Teacher Zhang Yue, so I won't bother you."
Looking closer, Cui Jin discovered that in addition to Wen Shuang's elegant appearance, her face was also very consistent with the description in the original novel. When she was not smiling, she looked cold and elegant, as if she was reluctant to see them.
Lu Li is also followed by a third male lead named Huang Xun. In the past two years, he has changed companies and his resources have gradually improved. He originally came for the role of Yun Lanxianjun. Although Yun Lanxianjun only appeared in a few episodes, he was a very popular character in the original novel and the chance of becoming a hit was very high. Unexpectedly, Wen Shuang got there first. In addition, he heard a lot of conversations between Cui Jin and Lu Li, and knew that the two of them didn't like Wen Shuang very much, so he immediately joined the camp to show his loyalty and then became disgusted.
Huang Xun was quite good at reading people's expressions, but his weakness was that he was too good. He nodded towards Zhang Yue, looking quite polite. "Hello, Teacher Zhang Yue."
Unfortunately, Zhang Yue had become shrewd and didn't buy it at all. Apart from giving Cui Jin a straight look, he didn't treat anyone else, including Lu Li, very well, and spoke rudely, "We've been filming for most of the day and you just saw me." He would rather bask in the sun over there than say hello, and now it was obvious that he showed up for Wen Shuang. Zhang Yue knew that there was a fierce competition among young artists, and he was too lazy to get involved. He changed his shoes, stood up, and walked towards Zhang Dong without saying a word.
Lu Li rarely ran into any obstacles, so the smile on his face was a little faltering. For some reason, he pointed the gun at Wen Shuang again and said in a joking tone, "It seems that Teacher Zhang Yue still appreciates you more."
Wen Shuang's eyes were very clear, and after a moment she said, "I think you are overly sensitive."
When he read the original novel, he felt that Lu Li was a person with sensitive areas all over his body. On the surface, he looked considerate and easy to talk to, but in fact, he could not tolerate the slightest neglect from others. To put it bluntly, he cared too much about the eyes of others. The author's explanation was because of his childhood experience, which made the readers feel distressed, but Wen Shuang could not feel distressed. You must know that any emotion, when too strong, will hurt yourself first, and more importantly, it will hurt others.
Didn't Zheng Yuanfei become an indiscriminate blade just to take care of his sensitivity?
"Really?" Lu Li's smile faded, and he regarded Wen Shuang's honest words as a kind of sarcasm, and said sadly: "You still don't like me."
Wen Shuang thought to herself, "Why should I like you? You're nothing like my boyfriend, okay?"
Huang Xun seemed to have received some kind of signal, and his tone suddenly became sharp. "No way, no way, no one really thinks that just because a variety show has become a little popular, they can stand above you, Brother Lu."
Idiot, Wen Shuang couldn't help cursing in her heart. Not wanting to have any more meaningless conversations, she nodded slightly: "I have something else to do, I'll leave first."
"What kind of attitude do I rely on?" Huang Xun's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, attracting Chen Zhizhi and several other actresses to look over here, "This hasn't become popular yet!"
Wen Shuang put aside all distractions and found a quiet place to continue practicing his lines. Zhang Dong's plays never require post-dubbing and are famous for their "public executions". Some actors who appear to have good acting skills but actually have poor line delivery have nowhere to hide in his plays. Since Wen Shuang has taken over, she doesn't want to be ridiculed by the crowd after the show is broadcast.
Zhang Dong had been observing Wen Shuang silently. It was very common for artists to have conflicts on the set. He thought Wen Shuang was going to go find Zhu Lian to make a scene, after all, Huang Xun was always a bit rude. However, the young man didn't seem to take it to heart at all. He took his lines seriously and was very calm, which was rare.
Time passed quickly and it was afternoon. Everyone was exhausted after being exposed to the sun all day. The crew started distributing cold drinks. Zhu Lian had something to do and went back to the company to take care of Wen Shuang. The staff seemed to have forgotten about Wen Shuang and ignored him when distributing drinks. Huang Xun smiled lightly when he saw this scene, looking very proud.
Zhang Dong was most annoyed by these little tricks. Of course, more importantly, he knew very well who was praising Wen Shuang, and that was Huang Xun, the ignorant man. "Wen Shuang!" Zhang Dong shouted, "Come here and memorize your lines."
"Okay." Wen Shuang was still wearing a thick costume, and her cheeks were red from the heat.
Zhang Dong handed him a cold drink and said, "Have a drink."
"Thank you, Director." Wen Shuang was indeed thirsty, so she took the drink without hesitation and drank half a cup in one gulp. Then she asked the director seriously, "Which part do you want to check?"
Zhang Dong was speechless. This kid sometimes looked very smart, and sometimes a little stubborn. Couldn't he tell that he was trying to help him out? Helplessly, Zhang Dong said something casually, but Wen Shuang read it carefully, and his emotions were well controlled. Zhang Dong had planned to guide him during the filming tomorrow, but he became interested after hearing this. He lay on the table and began to explain to Wen Shuang the essential psychological activities of the character Yun Lanxianjun, striving for Wen Shuang to understand it more thoroughly.
Wen Shuang listened attentively, nodding from time to time, standing out in the midst of the restless atmosphere.
Huang Xun didn't expect this to happen. His nose was no longer a nose and his eyes were no longer eyes.
Because it was hot, Wen Shuang drank two more cold drinks. The heat finally dissipated a little at sunset. Cui Jin and Lu Li's group were chatting animatedly, bursting into exaggerated laughter from time to time. Wen Shuang looked at the blood-stained sunset, his profile calm, and he looked out of tune with his surroundings.
"Lu Li!" Someone called out in a surprised and ambiguous tone. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man wrapped tightly in a fashionable brand, wearing high boots and a baseball cap. He lowered his head and walked out with the posture of a thousand troops. He seemed to have his own aura and style. Who else could it be but Zheng Yuanfei?
Wen Shuang couldn't help but make a cross on her chest. She met both the top and bottom protagonists at the same time. This was incredible luck.
Tang Li followed behind Zheng Yuanfei. He was very devoted to this cash cow and did not even let his assistant do some things. At this moment, he was holding a bunch of hot food in his hands and distributed it to everyone in the name of Zheng Yuanfei, which immediately made everyone happy. One of the heart-shaped chocolates was only available to Lu Li, and Zheng Yuanfei handed it to him personally. Everyone immediately started to cheer, and the protagonists' faces were filled with happy smiles.
Someone noticed that Wen Shuang was sitting alone in the courtyard, her clothes fluttering in the wind, her back looked cold and thin, inexplicably separated from the secular world, revealing a bit of loneliness.
In fact, what Wen Shuang was thinking was: Can’t see me! Can’t see me! Can’t see me!
"Wen Shuang." Lu Li said, "Come and eat too."
Wen Shuang: “…” I don’t want to go over there!!!
"No thanks." Wen Shuang knew she couldn't escape, so she turned around and smiled at them, "I'm not hungry."
"How can you not be hungry after a whole day? Come and eat." Huang Xun continued.
Wen Shuang struggled desperately, "I'm really not hungry..."
"Do you need someone to invite you personally?" Zheng Yuanfei was slightly stunned when he saw Wen Shuang dressed like this, but when he thought about who the other person was, his face turned bad as usual. He felt that this person had not changed at all and was always trying to attract other people's attention. "Everyone is sitting together, why are you alone? Is someone bullying you?"
Wen Shuang stood up expressionlessly. In fact, for a moment she wanted to pick up a chair and smash it against Zheng Yuanfei's face.
After spending an afternoon together, the other actors and staff could more or less see that Wen Shuang was being excluded, but they thought it was just a personality issue or uneven distribution of resources. It was not until Zheng Yuanfei spoke in a bad tone and with sarcasm that they vaguely realized that Wen Shuang might have offended Zheng Yuanfei before, or... offended Lu Li.
Everyone made room for a seat, and Lu Li quickly brought a meal to Wen Shuang. The dish was covered with a layer of chili peppers, but Wen Shuang was not against spicy food, so she brushed it off and took two bites of the dish below.
When it was time for dinner, he would usually order three servings of roujiamo, but with two people sitting opposite him asking for his life's reward, he had no appetite at all.
Even felt like vomiting.
Halfway through the meal, Wen Shuang's urge to vomit was almost materializing. He then realized that something was wrong. This was bad. It might be because he drank too many cold drinks earlier, and his stomach couldn't stand spicy food recently.
Jianwen Shuang put down his chopsticks, and Lu Li asked, "Is it not to your liking?"
Zheng Yuanfei glanced at him and said coldly: "I've already eaten half of it. If you say it doesn't suit your appetite, who will I give the rest to?"
Wen Shuang's forehead vein popped out as he looked at the mess on the table. Some people took a few bites and threw them away without anyone criticizing them. He suddenly felt that his patience was running out.
Zheng Yuanfei saw that Wen Shuang didn't move, so he changed his posture and asked, "What..."
"Are you done yet?" Wen Shuang suddenly raised her head, without a smile on her face, and her eyes were so cold that frost could form.
Zheng Yuanfei was stunned by the cold.
"Wouldn't it be nice for us to finish filming this movie in peace?" Wen Shuang stood up, feeling that Zheng Yuanfei was hopeless.
"That's not Wen Shuang." Lu Li immediately tried to smooth things over. "You know it's far from that. He just speaks his mind. He means no harm."
"I can clearly feel whether he has any ill intentions or not." Wen Shuang spoke word by word, turned around and left, not wanting to give face to anyone.
Zheng Yuanfei looked at Wen Shuang's back in surprise, his face turned ugly after realizing it belatedly. He did not miss the flash of disgust in the young man's eyes just now, which made Zheng Yuanfei suddenly feel a little at a loss, and this feeling of loss suddenly created a hole somewhere in his heart, causing him to be inexplicably irritated.
Wen Shuang went to the bathroom and sat on the toilet lid to send a message to Xuan Zhe. He didn't feel wronged, he just felt that he was not strong enough.
【miss you. 】
Xuanzhe replied quickly: [I just got off work, I'll pick you up.]
Wen Shuang's emotions gradually calmed down, and she typed: [Well, I'll wait for you.]
Wen Shuang vomited before going out. As expected, she was not worthy of the things given by the protagonist.
Not knowing what happened to Chen Zong, Zhu Lian suppressed her anger and called Wen Shuang, saying that she would come over soon. Wen Shuang told her not to worry and to deal with the things at hand first, as Xuan Zhe was there. She was worried that Wen Shuang would inadvertently show off her affection, so Zhu Lian hung up the phone at lightning speed after making sure that he was alone and fine.
Wen Shuang changed her clothes and listened to Zhang Dong explain tomorrow's arrangements. This place was a twenty-minute drive from Quan Yi, and Xuan Zhe was almost there.
The first day of filming ended and everyone was preparing to go back one after another. Because the nanny car was driven away by Zhu Lian, Wen Shuang was standing alone at the door.
Lu Li was sitting in Zheng Yuanfei's car. Seeing Wen Shuang's lonely figure, he signaled the driver to stop.
"Why do you care about him?" Zheng Yuanfei was unhappy, "Forget how he bullied you before."
Lu Li looked quite understanding. "It was the past. He has changed a lot now. Besides, it's hard to get a taxi this late. It's not safe to leave him here alone."
As soon as he finished speaking, another nanny car stopped in front of Wen Shuang. The window was rolled down, revealing Huang Xun's arrogant face. "How can it be that the company doesn't even provide a car for someone who is about to become famous?" Huang Xun was quite dissatisfied with Wen Shuang, because her rise to fame was so fast. He could still comfort himself that Wen Shuang was just lucky, but when he saw Zhang Dong explaining the lines and the play to Wen Shuang, this dissatisfaction gradually fermented and turned into a kind of sourness that seeped into his bones.
Seeing Wen Shuang's agent run away at this time, Huang Xun didn't know why he was relieved. He thought he had seen through everything and felt that Wen Shuang was not valued in the company.
Wen Shuang had a stomachache, and his face was pale under the orange light. He was not a person who could accept pain calmly. He just wanted to lie on the warm bed and curl himself up. It would be best if Xuan Zhe was right next to him, so Huang Xun's voice became a noisy mosquito buzz. Wen Shuang was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he stood aside holding his coat.
Huang Xun thought he had noticed Wen Shuang's embarrassment and raised his chin: "Do you need me to take you there?"
At the same time, three big words were written on his face: Beg me.
Wen Shuang was about to say something when a beam of light came closer from afar. Cao Nanyu swung his tail in a handsome manner and stopped the car not far away.
A tall figure got out of the car, and the light slowly shone on the cold and sharp eyebrows, with unparalleled arrogance and pride.
Zheng Yuanfei and Lu Li's expressions changed slightly at the same time.
When Wen Shuang saw Xuan Zhe, his shoulders slumped slightly, and his eyes revealed an instinctive dependence. He took two steps towards Xuan Zhe, looking listless.
"What's wrong?" Xuan Zhe seemed not to notice anyone else and gently put his arm around Wen Shuang's shoulders.
Wen Shuang leaned against him, her mouth feeling sour, and whispered, "My stomach hurts."
"Is it, is it Mr. Xuan?" Huang Xun's voice trembled as he got out of the car and straightened his collar.
But Xuanzhe didn't even look at him. All he had in his eyes was his own miserable little quail. He took Wen Shuang into the car, and when Huang Xun caught up with them, he only got a mouthful of exhaust fumes.
Huang Xun was stunned, not caring about the embarrassment. His fingertips were numb, and his first thought was: How could Wen Shuang get into President Xuan's car?
As soon as Wen Shuang got in the car, she snuggled into Xuan Zhe's arms, messing her hair up, and hummed a few times in a slightly coquettish manner. Xuan Zhe had never known that there was such a voice that could make people lose their armor, and the only feeling he had left was heartache.
"Let's go to the hospital." Xuanzhe lowered his head and kissed Wen Shuang's forehead, wondering what the point of filming this was.
"No, I just ate something cold and spicy at the same time, and I can't stand it. I'll just go back and take some stomach medicine." Wen Shuang raised her head and responded to Xuan Zhe's kiss, mumbling, "I want to go home."
He can go to heaven if he wants these days.
Xuanzhe asked a few more questions before Wen Shuang told him that Zheng Yuanfei brought takeout to visit Lu Li on the set.
"With so many people watching, it would seem like I'm giving them no face if I don't eat." Wen Shuang just complained, not complaining at all. "There's a lot of chili."
At this moment, he was sitting on Xuanzhe's lap, wrapped in the man's coat, feeling warm and comfortable.
"If the food is clean, I'll give it to you!" Xuanzhe's face was gloomy.
Cao Nanyu was driving in front and didn't dare to breathe.
Only Wen Shuang was not afraid at all. He rubbed Xuanzhe's collarbone and whispered, "You are so nice."
He is happy when his boyfriend speaks up for him.
Not only did his boyfriend speak up for him, but after Xuanzhe took Wen Shuang back home, he watched this person take the medicine, drink a cup of hot water and fall asleep quickly, and his anger burst out.
The first to bear the brunt of the attack was Zhu Lian. She dared not say a word when Xuan Zhe scolded her. When she heard about what Zheng Yuanfei had done, she wanted to rush to the lounge and pull his hair out.
Zheng Yuanfei was startled when he received Xuanzhe's call. Lu Li was sitting next to him at the time, so they both heard every word Xuanzhe said clearly.
"I don't care what Wen Shuang had in the past, but he is mine now. Stop being so self-indulgent. Wen Shuang doesn't like you at all. If you provoke him again, both of you will get out of Quanyi." Xuan Zhe seemed to have expected Lu Li to be there, and he spoke without mercy. After hanging up the phone, he asked someone to withdraw Zheng Yuanfei's two endorsements.
If Zheng Yuanfei and Lu Li had not gained some popularity, a direct ban would have caused controversy among fans and public opinion, which would have been bad for Wen Shuang. If it was a newcomer Xuan Zhe, he would not have allowed him to step into Quan Yi again the next day.
"Xuanzhe..." Wen Shuang suddenly called out softly in the middle of the night.
Xuanzhe was a light sleeper, and he woke up immediately after hearing the sound. He stood up and rubbed Wen Shuang's back, and said in a low voice, "Well, I'm here. What do you want?"
"I want to eat soup dumplings..." Wen Shuang murmured. His stomachache was gone, but he felt a little hungry instead. However, he was anxious to go to bed, so he could only find time to tell his boyfriend in advance.
Xuanzhe: “…”
