Ever since Jiang Chelin found out about Lu Xuan, Du Yuanzhe has been on guard against Jiang Chelin, but there has been no action. Jiang Chelin is unexpectedly patient.
Jiang Chelin was not in a hurry to retaliate, and Du Yuanzhe was even less anxious.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye. The coldness of Yancheng gradually disappeared. It was May. Jiang Chelin and Wang Lianxuan seemed to be in seclusion. Du Yuanzhe did not hear any news from them.
However, Lu Xuan has become extremely busy in the past two months. As he said, he became famous in the circle and has been busy with interpersonal relationships recently. Many people want to know how he made Jiang Chelin suffer. Some people know that the Lu family is related to the Du family, and they took the opportunity to get close to Lu Xuan.
Regardless of the reason, Lu Xuan’s drinking parties continued, and he became a hot topic in the circle.
Film Set
Du Yuanzhe has been in the crew for three months and has filmed most of his scenes. It will probably take more than a month to wrap up. Actors have already finished filming in the past few days.
Wang Xingliang sighed: "When Sun Yao got into trouble, I thought the show was going to be scrapped, but I didn't expect that not only was it not scrapped, but Director Zhu found a more suitable actor."
Du Yuanzhe said: "Teacher Wang, I will be proud if you always praise me."
Wang Xingliang said with a smile: "At your age, you should be proud of your acting skills."
Zhu Mi came over and heard this, nodded and said, "Teacher Wang is right."
Du Yuanzhe said: "Director Zhu, please give me three days off because I have performed well."
Zhu Mi asked him, "What are you going to do?"
"I have a little personal business to attend to."
Zhu Mi nodded: "Okay, I'll put your role at the back of the schedule then."
Now is not the time to catch up with the progress. It is easy to coordinate time and grant Du Yuanzhe three days off. Du Yuanzhe's dedication to the crew is obvious to all, and no one will say anything because he is away for three days.
As long as it doesn't affect the filming, Zhu Mi is very easy to talk to.
Du Yuanzhe said happily: "Thank you, Director Zhu."
They have very little free time on the set. After just a few words of conversation, they have to continue filming the next scene. Sometimes they don’t get a chance to catch their breath for hours.
As the male lead, Du Yuanzhe has the most important roles and is also the most tired one. Fortunately, he has fully adapted to the current intensity of filming.
After work in the evening, Du Yuanzhe returned to Huahu Apartment.
He told Xia Ningmi in advance when he would finish work, and when he got home, he happened to be waiting for the elevator with the delivery man. Upon learning that this was the takeaway ordered by Xia Ningmi, he took the takeaway to save the delivery man from making another trip.
"I brought my takeaway back. Let me see what you ordered."
Du Yuanzhe opened the package and immediately saw the boiled pork slices on top.
Authentic boiled pork slices is a very famous spicy dish. It is really delicious and really spicy.
Du Yuanzhe couldn't stand the spiciness, but he always forgot the pain after the wound healed and wanted to eat it every once in a while.
Du Yuanzhe was surprised and said, "The one who knows me well is President Xia."
Xia Ningmi walked over and said, "Don't forget the lesson from last time."
It was not the first time that Xia Ningmi ordered spicy dishes for him. Du Yuanzhe had eaten boiled pork slices a month ago. At that time, he endured the spicy taste and ate a lot. Then he almost had to stay in the bathroom that day. In the following days, he didn't dare to sit down properly because a certain part of his body was aching.
Du Yuanzhe looked at the large plate of boiled pork slices and said distressedly, "There is so much meat. If we don't eat more, won't it be a waste?"
Xia Ningmi glanced at him: "I just want you to eat a little to satisfy your craving, but I don't want you to be thrifty."
In addition to boiled pork slices, Xia Ningmi also ordered sweet and sour spare ribs and braised eggplant.
The two of them sat at the dining table. Du Yuanzhe couldn't wait to peel off the layer of chili peppers on the food, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. Then he started to inhale because of the spiciness.
“So spicy! So delicious!”
Seeing his face turn red and tears come out from the spicy food, Xia Ningmi really couldn't understand why someone who couldn't eat spicy food would be so addicted to it.
I always want to eat spicy food, but when I really eat it, I can't stand it.
Du Yuanzhe quickly ate a few more mouthfuls of rice to alleviate the spiciness, and then ate a few mouthfuls of other dishes. When the spiciness was almost alleviated, Du Yuanzhe picked up a piece of meat and started sucking again.
After repeating the whole process, the person's face has become like a monkey's butt.
Xia Ningmi saw his expression and stopped him, "Don't eat anymore."
Du Yuanzhe looked at her with pity.
Xia Ningmi remained unmoved: "Do you need me to remind you to look in the mirror and see what you look like now?"
Du Yuanzhe knew how red his face was without even looking: "That's what happens when you eat spicy food. It will get better after you finish eating."
Xia Ningmi pushed the boiled pork slices away from Du Yuanzhe and said, "Your quota of spicy dishes for today has been used up."
Du Yuanzhe reluctantly looked away: "After eating spicy food, eating sweet food feels too bland."
Xia Ningmi picked up a piece of pork ribs and said, "You don't have to eat it. It won't affect you if you eat less at night."
In order to relieve the spiciness, Du Yuanzhe had almost finished a bowl of rice. He casually ate some braised eggplant and finished the bowl of rice.
Xia Ningmi eats slower than him and has only finished half of it.
Du Yuanzhe poured a glass of water and sat back down, saying, "Your birthday is coming up, have you decided how to celebrate it?"
Xia Ning raised her eyes and looked at him.
Du Yuanzhe laughed and said, "Why, you didn't expect that I would remember your birthday?"
Xia Ningmi shook her head: "I just didn't expect you to ask directly."
She knew that Du Yuanzhe was considerate and would never forget her birthday, but she thought that Du Yuanzhe wanted to give her a surprise.
"Tell me what you want to do."
Xia Ningmi said: "I don't have any idea. I never celebrated my birthday before."
Xia Yiyao and Zhou Heng both forgot to celebrate her birthday. Old Man Xia would hold a birthday party for her, but it was more like a small business exchange meeting. Everyone who came to the birthday party was not there to celebrate her birthday. She never considered it as a birthday.
Du Yuanzhe was not surprised by Xia Ningmi's answer and said, "Since you don't have any plans, then listen to my arrangements. You can clear the time from the 8th to the 10th, and we will go out for a trip."
Xia Ningmi's birthday is May 9th.
"travel?"
Du Yuanzhe nodded: "I guess you haven't traveled before. I have already asked for leave from the crew. We will leave on the 8th. We won't go to places too far. There are many tourist attractions in Jiangcheng. We will go there first and go to other places later."
Xia Ningmi lowered her eyes: "I'll follow your instructions."
The word "travel" was far away from her. Before she was sixteen, she had a lot of free time, but neither Xia Yiyao nor Zhou Heng thought of taking her out for a trip. After she was sixteen, she had almost no free time. She was either studying or working. Even when she was on a business trip, she just worked in a different city. She never thought of seeing the scenery of other cities.
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "Then it's settled. We have to pack our luggage one day in advance and remember to book a hotel..."
Jiangcheng was where Du Yuanzhe had filmed "The Legend of Yunlan" before. Du's family had a hotel there, but Du Yuanzhe couldn't take Xia Ningmi to book a room at the Du's hotel, so they had to choose another hotel.
Because Xia Ningmi had never traveled before, Du Yuanzhe talked a lot about the precautions, but at the end Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "I almost forgot that you are rich. As long as you prepare your documents, you can buy the rest now even if you forget."
Xia Ning looked at him: "Are you not a rich man?"
Du Yuanzhe said: "That depends on who you compare yourself with. Anyway, there is no comparison between you and me."
Xia Ning took out a black card from her wallet and handed it to Du Yuanzhe: "Now you are also a rich man."
Du Yuanzhe was silent for a moment, then sighed, "It feels good to be slapped with money. But I have enough money, so you can take the card back first."
Xia Ningmi put away the black card and said, "If you need anything, feel free to ask me for it."
Du Yuanzhe teased, "Aren't you afraid that I'll cheat you out of your money and then run away?"
Xia Ning looked at him intently: "Then you have to stay by my side for the rest of your life."
He couldn't spend all her money by himself.
Du Yuanzhe was dumbfounded: "Is this the highest level of showing off wealth?"
[So hated]
......
May 7th
Not only did Zhu Mi approve Du Yuanzhe's next three days of leave, he also asked him to finish his work early today and go back to pack his luggage.
Du Yuanzhe changed out of his costume and said to Liu Xu, "Brother Liu, I will be away from Yancheng for the next three days. If you have anything, call me."
Liu Xu asked, "Where are you going?"
As an agent, it is necessary to keep track of the artist's whereabouts.
Du Yuanzhe did not hide it from him and said, "Boss Xia and I are going on a trip."
Liu Xu immediately showed a teachable expression: "Since we are going on a trip, then have fun."
Xiaopang's eyes sparkled as he asked, "Brother Zhe, are you going to celebrate Mr. Xia's birthday?"
Du Yuanzhe was surprised: "How do you know her birthday?"
Xiaopang said: "A few days ago, President Xia's super chat started posting with the topic of Happy Birthday to President Xia on May 09. Everyone knows that President Xia's birthday is coming soon. Fans want to celebrate her birthday, but unfortunately they don't have the means to do so."
Xia Ningmi is not a star, so subway billboards are not acceptable. It is meaningless to raise money to buy her gifts. This is the first time her fans are fans of a female president, and they have no idea what gifts to prepare.
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "It's good to have this intention. You don't have to think about buying gifts."
Xiao Pang asked, "What gift does Brother Zhe plan to give to President Xia?"
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "Keep it a secret."
Xiaopang immediately lowered his head in disappointment.
Liu Xu said unhappily: "Why are you so curious? It has nothing to do with you."
Xiaopang argued: "How can it not be related? I am the number one fan and loyal supporter of Ningyuan CP."
Du Yuanzhe asked in confusion: "What are you talking about?"
Xiaopang explained: "Ningyuan is the couple name of Brother Zhe and President Xia."
Liu Xu's eyes widened: "They both have couple fans now?"
Xiao Pang said embarrassedly: "There are only a dozen people at the moment."
杜元哲沒好氣道：“你是從哪裏忽悠來的這些人？”
小胖不服氣道：“我可沒忽悠，我只是用小號在官微的評論區裏發了句你和夏總很配，他們自己就順着我的微博摸到了超話。”
杜元哲道：“官微就代表夏總，你這算不算cp粉舞到正主面前，唯粉就沒罵你？”
小胖嘿嘿一笑：“他們罵不過來。”
“什麽意思？”
“當時給夏總拉郎配的不止我一個人。”
杜元哲無語，他知道這種事根本擋不住，真計較只會白白影響自己心情。
杜元哲道：“不提這件事，我明天就離開煙城，有事記得打電話就行。”
劉旭點頭：“你放心玩就好。”
......
江城機場
杜元哲推着行李和夏凝覓走出機場，兩人都帶着口罩，左右看看：“我已經把航班發給租車公司，他們應該快到了。”
接下來得在江城玩三天，他們不可能總打出租，杜元哲在來之前就租了輛車。
很快，一輛藍色保時捷停在機場門口，緊接着杜元哲手機收到租車公司發來的車牌號。
杜元哲确定車牌號後就走到藍色保時捷旁。
司機下車把車鑰匙交給杜元哲，道：“杜先生，祝您用車愉快。”
杜元哲點頭，把行李箱放進後備箱，夏凝覓已經坐進副駕駛。
杜元哲一上車就摘掉口罩：“江城的溫度比煙城要高不少，還好我們來之前查過這邊的天氣預報。”
煙城現在還是穿長袖，但江城一眼望去全是穿短袖的人。
夏凝覓道：“今天去哪兒玩？”
這次旅游完全是由杜元哲策劃，夏凝覓只負責人來。
杜元哲發動車子：“先去酒店把行李放下。”
他訂的是一家五星級酒店，一般到了這種星級的酒店都會非常注意保護客人隐私，杜元哲和夏凝覓都是實名登記，雖然遇到認識他們的人可能性不大，但謹慎一點總沒錯。
到酒店後，杜元哲帶上口罩拿兩人身份證去做登記，前臺熟練地錄入信息，臉色沒有絲毫變化，應該是不認識他們。
杜元哲稍微放下心，心裏忍不住失笑，他現在還沒紅呢，就開始顧及這麽多，是不是想得有點多？
杜元哲拿着房卡和夏凝覓一起上樓，道：“我訂的是總統套房，有兩間卧室，正好我們兩個一人一間。”
刷卡打開房門，杜元哲問她：“想要哪間？”
夏凝覓徑直走進右邊的房間。
杜元哲推着行李跟着她身後提醒道：“你的行李！”
夏凝覓頓住腳步，轉身從他手裏接過行李箱。
杜元哲問：“你是想先休息一會兒，還是現在就出去玩？”
夏凝覓道：“現在就去。”
杜元哲點頭：“那行。”
兩人把行李放進各自房間，就下樓離開了酒店。
杜元哲開着車道：“我們一會兒要去的地方是歡樂谷，那裏是一處大型游樂場，有各種娛樂設施，你想要玩什麽都可以。”
夏凝覓認真聽着，并沒有發表意見。
杜元哲對江城不熟悉，全程開着導航，到了歡樂谷後，發現這裏人很多，他找了很久才找到一個停車位。
杜元哲将早就準備好的拍立得挂在脖子上防止一會兒被人擠掉，就和夏凝覓一起買門票進入歡樂谷。
十分鐘後，兩人站在過山車面前。
杜元哲問道：“你确定要坐這個？”
夏凝覓點頭：“聽說挺刺激的，我想試試。”
杜元哲摸摸心髒，道：“那就玩吧。”
兩人按照要求坐上過山車，随着過山車開始啓動，杜元哲不由得緊張起來，心跳也開始加速，他扭頭看向夏凝覓，發現她還是面無表情，眼睛看着前方不知道在想什麽。
在上來前兩人就摘了口罩，杜元哲怕他一會兒大喊會不舒服，現在看夏凝覓沒一點反應，他覺得自己不能太丢人，雙手用力握緊扶手，閉緊嘴巴，打死他也不會喊出來。
“啊————”
夏凝覓被杜元哲的尖叫聲刺激得耳朵有點疼，扭頭看他，只見杜元哲雙眼緊閉，頭發被吹得豎起，張着嘴巴大喊。
夏凝覓平靜地收回視線，她能感受到自己加速跳動的心跳，但她絲毫沒有大喊的沖動。
過山車結束，杜元哲下來後雙腿有些發軟，絕口不提剛才喊破音的事，從工作人員手裏接過拍立得，問夏凝覓：“接下來想要玩什麽？”
夏凝覓指向一個方向。
杜元哲臉色發白：“海，海盜船？”
他聽說這玩意兒很考驗人的心理承受能力，年紀小的孩子都不讓玩。
夏凝覓看他：“你不想玩嗎？”
杜元哲深吸一口氣：“玩！”
既然是陪夏凝覓過生日，當然一切都聽她的。
坐在海盜船上，杜元哲看看周圍，全是成年人沒一個小孩子，他不禁抿了抿嘴，希望他一會兒不會是叫得最大聲的。
海盜船的擺動速度由慢變快，慢的時候還覺得挺好玩，但一開始加快，感覺就不一樣了，那種快速上下搖擺的感覺仿佛真的在被海浪沖擊。
一時間，海盜船的喊叫聲此起彼伏。
杜元哲感覺自己的心髒快要跳出來了，只能通過不斷吼叫緩解恐懼，這時候他早已經忘了夏凝覓的存在。
夏凝覓扭頭觀察他，又看看其他人，他們雖然喊得很大聲，但看他們的表情好像又有些享受。
下了海盜船，杜元哲雙腿更軟了，道：“太刺激了，不過喊出來感覺心情好了很多，很輕松。”
怪不得這麽刺激的項目還有這麽多人玩，在別的地方大吼大叫會被人當神經病，但在這裏可以放心大喊，杜元哲剛才好像還聽到有人大罵某個人。
夏凝覓還是神色淡淡，左右看了看，道：“我們去玩跳樓機。”
杜元哲臉色一僵。
【這是一次比一次刺激啊，玩完我還能站着嗎】
夏凝覓道：“這次你不用去，我自己去試試。”
杜元哲下意識搖頭：“那不行，我得陪着你，我之前大叫不是害怕，只是覺得喊出來很爽快。”
夏凝覓看他一眼：“随你。”
杜元哲站在跳樓機前，還沒上去腿就開始發軟，臉色不自然地問旁邊的工作人員：“這多高？”
工作人員道：“一百米。”
【一百米！！！】
夏凝覓從他的心聲能聽出他的震驚和崩潰。
她再次道：“你可以不用陪我。”
杜元哲嘴硬道：“也就一百米而已，我還以為有多高呢。”
杜元哲僵着身子坐上跳樓機，弄好一切安全措施後開始上升，杜元哲經歷過剛才的過山車，感覺這樣的上升速度還可以，并不吓人。
他的想法剛浮現，他們就升到了最高處，緊接着不等他反應過來整個人就開始驟然下降。
“啊啊啊——”
杜元哲在一瞬間忘了自己在玩游戲，當真以為自己不小心一腳踩空從樓上掉下來，速度快得讓他覺得自己下一刻就會摔成肉餅。
就在他閉着眼睛滿心恐懼，害怕死相太難看時，他驟然停了下來。
杜元哲大腦一片空白，懵了許久才睜開眼睛，才發現自己回到了地面，夏凝覓已經解開安全帶站在旁邊看着他。
工作人員見他睜眼，過來幫他解開裝備。
杜元哲吞了下口水，道：“麻煩你扶我一下。”
夏凝覓剛上前一步，就見工作人員已經扶着杜元哲站起來，她又退了回去。
杜元哲腿軟得仿佛下一秒就會癱在地上。
工作人員顯然很有經驗，一邊扶着杜元哲慢走一邊緩解他的緊張。
一分鐘後，杜元哲和夏凝覓走出跳樓機。
【打死我以後也不玩跳樓機了】
他差點以為自己真要摔死了。
杜元哲看着夏凝覓沒一點變化的臉色，忍不住問道：“你就不害怕不緊張嗎？”
夏凝覓道：“會害怕也會緊張。”
杜元哲疑惑：“可我沒聽到你的大喊聲。”
夏凝覓淡淡道：“并不是所有人緊張害怕都會喊出來。”
從小到大她都不會大喊大叫，哪怕是最害怕的時候也不會大喊大叫，她好像從來就沒有這種本能。
杜元哲聽言恍然，确實有很多人不習慣喊出來，道：“玩了這麽多驚險刺激的項目太考驗心髒了，我們去玩點輕松的。”
五分鐘後
夏凝覓看着眼前的孩子們，道：“你說的輕松項目，就是指玩兒童設施？”
杜元哲看兩個小孩玩碰碰車看得很有趣，道：“也不算兒童設施，你看那幾個不就是大人嗎？”
夏凝覓看過去，他說的所謂大人也就是十幾歲的少年，看樣子也就是初中生，估計也就只有杜元哲會說他們是大人。
似乎察覺到夏凝覓的心思，杜元哲尴尬笑笑：“反正就是玩嘛，我不信他們會因為我們年齡大把我們趕走。”
他們運氣不太好，其實有很多成年人玩碰碰車，只是他們恰好沒遇到。
兩人各自上了一輛碰碰車，杜元哲啓動車子道：“你要小心點，別被我撞翻車。”
說完，杜元哲就朝着夏凝覓撞去。
Xia Ningmi's eyes fixed, and she immediately turned the steering wheel to avoid it, then counterattacked Du Yuanzhe without hesitation.
The two men went back and forth, both trying their best to hit each other, but they were evenly matched and neither of them rolled over.
Du Yuanzhe thought he had won the game: "Don't you rarely drive?"
Xia Ningmi said calmly: "Just because I rarely open it doesn't mean I don't know how to do it."
"But if you don't drive it often, you'll definitely feel rusty."
Xia Ningmi said: "I learn things very quickly."
Du Yuanzhe suddenly remembered that during the continuous collisions just now, Xia Ningmi was indeed becoming more and more skilled.
[Genius or something like that is the most depressing thing]
The two played bumper cars for a long time. It was already noon when they left the bumper car area. Du Yuanzhe said, "Let's go eat first and come back to play after dinner."
There are so many recreational facilities here that the two of them can't finish playing in a day.
The author has something to say:
