Chapter 335 All the carelessness was his long-planned
What was originally just an ordinary scene had become like an affair. Bai Qiu Jingren was so stiff that he stammered while reciting his lines.
He had long thrown all professional ethics and qualities out of the window.
However, as he acted opposite Shen Zhichu, he gradually got into the role. Shen Zhichu was impressed by his acting skills and had to admire him.
Bai Qiujing is able to rival Li Yi in just a casual audition. Such extraordinary talent is really something that makes people jealous.
During the acting process, Shen Zhichu gradually felt the gap between them.
…
Because of rehearsing for several hours during the day, Bai Qiujing had a dream at night. In the dream, Shen Zhichu grabbed his sleeve and called him "brother" in a charming way, which made him flustered.
After waking up, Bai Qiujing was still deep in his dream. For a moment, his whole body was numb and his hands and feet were weak. Shamefully, he covered himself with the quilt, covering his face and hunching his back, his ears twitching violently.
…
On Wednesday morning, Shen Zhichu got up at six o'clock as usual. She didn't eat breakfast because it was easier to get into the state when she was hungry. The recording time was one day. Now everyone uses mobile phones to order takeout, so Shen Zhichu is not worried about being hungry later.
It was just past 7:30 when we arrived at the recording site. Half of the artists had arrived and were divided into several groups to put on makeup in the dressing room.
Chen Zhichu didn't have a makeup artist, so she had to put on her own makeup. She found a corner and put on her makeup with her back to the camera, multitasking and memorizing her lines at the same time.
At nine o'clock, Li Yi and Zheng Xiuxiu finally arrived. They both had their own makeup artists. While putting on makeup, they discussed the lines for the upcoming performance on stage. As expected, they were from the same school, and their tacit understanding was impossible to interrupt.
"Why is Xiu Xiu working so hard? She even remembers to recite her lines while putting on makeup?" someone nearby joked.
"Since I'm participating in the competition, of course I have to give it my all and work hard to improve. I don't want to hold my senior brother back, and I don't want to be like some people who just waste time."
The man understood what she meant and followed up with a question, "By the way, where is Shen Zhichu from your group?"
"She only performed with us once, and then she never contacted us again. She wouldn't show up even when we invited her. Maybe she's just naturally confident."
…
As he was speaking, there was an uproar all around, with a constant stream of bad voices. Zheng Xiuxiu was a little unhappy about being interrupted, and she frowned as she looked towards the door that was blocked by the crowd.
"What's going on?"
"It seems that the White Shadow Emperor is here."
Zheng Xiuxiu's eyes lit up. Bai Qiujing was here? Could he be here to see her? After all, the two of them had acted in a movie together before. Although she was an unremarkable supporting actress in that movie, at least she and Bai Qiujing had appeared in the same scene.
Moreover, Bai Qiujing has a cold personality and never likes dealing with strangers. He suddenly came to the dressing room, which must be to see someone he knows.
Everyone in this room thought carefully, who was as familiar as her and Bai Qiujing?
Thinking that Emperor Bai came for her, Zheng Xiuxiu's heart started beating fast, her face turned red, her eyes moved, and she stared straight at the door, wanting Bai Qiujing to see her as soon as he came in.
Bai Qiujing's good temper was only directed towards Shen Zhichu. This was probably what his unbridled preference meant. When facing other people, he would not even spare a glance. He would glance around coldly, and the deterrent force would force the people in front of him to move aside and make way for him.
He glanced at Zheng Xiuxiu and then walked towards her.
Some people whispered in the distance: "Could it be that he came here specifically to see Zheng Xiuxiu?"
"How is that possible? How could Emperor Bai be related to Zheng Xiuxiu? She's innocent, so please stop spreading rumors."
"You don't know, but Zheng Xiuxiu actually starred in Actor Bai's second film. Even though she played an unremarkable supporting actress, at least they worked together before, so she benefited from his influence. It's not a big deal to see her as a former colleague or friend..."
Zheng Xiuxiu covered her chest and felt her heart almost stop when she saw Bai Qiujing slowly walking towards her. She stood up with a flushed face and her voice trembled with nervousness: "Bai...Bai..."
She wanted to say hello to Bai Qiujing, but she didn't know what to call him. Calling him Teacher Bai seemed too distant, calling him Qiujing seemed too intimate, and calling him by his name was impolite. She wondered if she could just call him "Big Brother," the same title they used when they worked together on the movie.
Before Zheng Xiuxiu could say anything, Bai Qiujing glanced at her coldly and walked right past her.
Judging from his expression and attitude, he was extremely unfamiliar with her. What was going on?
A feeling of embarrassment arose in her heart. Zheng Xiuxiu couldn't help but feel embarrassed and angry when she thought about her feelings just now. Her eyes turned red.
Her heart, which had just been excited and hot, was instantly chilled by a splash of cold water. Bai Qiujing was looking in her direction but not at her.
She turned stiffly and followed everyone looking at him.
Bai Qiujing acted like an emperor on a secret visit, with a nonchalant air, but in fact his eyes were secretly staring at an inconspicuous corner.
"You guys go about your business. I'll just come and take a look to see how you're preparing."
Bai Qiujing chatted while circling the dressing tables one by one, from the outermost to the innermost. In order to meet Shen Zhichu inadvertently, he bypassed all the dressing tables.
He usually doesn't like to interact with others, but today he patiently answered everyone's questions. Finally, he walked to the corner and secretly took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and put it on the table.
"Don't forget to eat. Good luck in the competition. I'll be watching from below." These words were said to Shen Zhichu, but he didn't mention anyone by name. Instead, it seemed like an encouragement to everyone present.
"Thank you, Emperor Bai."
"We'll remember to eat well."
"Teacher Bai is such a nice person."
"Who said he has a difficult personality? Come out and get beaten."
All the unintentional things were planned for a long time today. Bai Qiujing looked at Chen Zhichu and smiled slightly. After delivering the candies, it was time to go back.
Shen Zhichu raised her eyebrows and looked at Bai Qiujing. She didn't shift her gaze to the chocolate on the table until his figure disappeared at the door.
The two people's subtle actions did not attract anyone's attention, except for one person.
Zheng Xiuxiu, ever since Bai Qiujing treated her like a stranger and avoided her, she had been staring at him unwillingly, watching him secretly take out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and put it on Shen Zhichu's desk!
Why Shen Zhichu? Why Shen Zhichu?
How did Bai Qiujing and Shen Zhichu know each other? Or was it Shen Zhichu who seduced him?
After Bai Qiujing left, Zheng Xiuxiu felt some "malicious" gazes sweeping towards her, like a knife cutting into her flesh.
At this time, her hearing was malfunctioning. Although there was constant noise around her, she could clearly hear the voices talking about her.
"Did you see that? Just now, Zheng Xiuxiu stood up as if she wanted to say hello to the White Film Emperor, but he ignored her. Didn't you say that the White Film Emperor knew her? Why does it look to me like he's facing a stranger? Even worse."
"I think maybe Emperor Bai didn't recognize Zheng Xiuxiu at all."
"I was just watching Zheng Xiuxiu, and my habit of being embarrassed for others came back again."
………
After Shen Zhichu finished her makeup, the production team also sent her costumes. She changed into a plain cheongsam and pinned her hair loosely with a wooden hairpin. The light in the dressing room was relatively bright, and no flaws could be seen on her. Her skin was fair and tender, and her eyes, framed by her red lips and white teeth, were as captivating as gems.
Chen Zhichu was so beautiful that she could outshine others even without makeup. But when she appeared, everyone in the audience fell silent.
The artists present more or less looked down on Shen Zhichu. Their initial impression of her was that she was a slutty, cheap, and plain-looking vixen. Later, when they saw her without makeup, it seemed she wasn't as the rumors said, but they still didn't have any favorable impression of her. They just used her plain appearance as a useless vase.
But who doesn’t want to be a beautiful vase?
Cheongsam is very challenging for a woman's figure. The cheongsam on Shen Zhichu is tailor-made for her, showing her beautiful figure and graceful posture.
Shen Zhichu seemed not to feel the strange gazes present. She was standing in front of the dressing mirror, fixing her hair. When she saw Zheng Xiuxiu's figure in the mirror, she turned her head away.
"Fox spirit!" Zheng Xiuxiu cursed, "You only know how to seduce people!"
Shen Zhichu was scolded for no apparent reason.
"How did you and Bai Qiujing know each other?"
Shen Zhichu understood instantly, probably because she had just seen Bai Qiujing secretly handing her chocolate.
Shen Zhichu narrowed his eyes, turned closer to Zheng Xiuxiu and smiled elegantly: "None of your business."
