Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Tit for tat: I can't stand the tit for tat...
After Xu Qinghu said goodbye to He Shengnian and returned to her room, Ruan Xiaoyu sat up from her bed before she could say anything, staring at her intently. "Hulu, you're finally back! How was it? Did you enjoy your date with Mr. He?"
Xu Qinghu: "..."
She put her bag aside and sat down at the dressing table. "I'm quite happy."
"I didn't expect President He to invite you," Ruan Xiaoyu put on her shoes and sat next to her. "I thought he would..."
Halfway through her speech, she suddenly realized something and hurriedly explained, "It's not that he won't invite you, but he feels a little surprised."
Xu Qinghu knew what she meant and said with a smile: "I was surprised too."
She seemed to be still immersed in the joy of dating He Shengnian. "After getting along with him, I found that he is better than I imagined."
Ruan Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile, "I'm so happy for you."
She had always thought He Shengnian was blind, which was why she couldn't see Xu Qinghu. Now that she knew both of them were interested, her eyes lit up and she said, "After the show, remember to treat us to dinner."
Although she felt a little sympathetic towards Qiao Wanshu, Ruan Xiaoyu stood by Xu Qinghu without hesitation. "I am also a witness to your relationship."
Xu Qinghu: "..."
The next day, Xu Qinghu got up a little late. When he went downstairs, everyone else had already started eating breakfast.
This time, Qiao Wanshu did not sit opposite He Shengnian, but sat to his right. He looked calm and composed, and did not feel disappointed at all because he invited Xu Qinghu.
"Can you pour me a cup of soy milk?" She handed the cup to He Shengnian with a faint smile on her lips.
The man lowered his eyes to look at her, but did not take her cup. He just took the soy milk and placed it next to her.
Qiao Wanshu lowered her eyelashes and said "thank you" without changing her expression. She thought he had rejected her again.
He Shengnian nodded without communicating with her much.
This distant and cold look no longer shows the concern and care of the past.
Qiao Wanshu picked up the soy milk and took a sip, as if this could help swallow the bitterness in his heart.
[I'm so sad. Qiao Qiao took the initiative to approach me, but He Shengnian remained so cold and indifferent. How heartless.]
[This is a man who has changed his mind. Once he changes his target, he can never go back to the way he was before.]
[I feel bad for Qiao Qiao. I hope she can cheer up and stop wasting her time on He Shengnian.]
[The main reason was that the opponent was too shameless. Qiao Qiao was introverted and had no experience in snatching men, so the opponent took advantage of her.]
[+1, every time I see Xu Qinghu's face, I feel like she's incredibly scheming. She knows that Mr. He and Qiao Qiao are going head to head, yet she still flirts with him every day. Isn't she just trying to get ahead? This kind of person is so disgusting!]
If I were Qiao Qiao, I'd be pissed off too. Xu Qinghu and He Shengnian definitely won't last long.
[Can Xu Qinghu be kicked out of the program? I get annoyed just by seeing her.]
[What? If Qiao Wanshu is unhappy, Xu Qinghu must be scolded, right? The harsher the scolding, the more your defenses are broken. This is ridiculous.]
Xu Qinghu sat next to Ruan Xiaoyu. Just as she was about to get the soy milk, He Shengnian directly took her cup and poured her most of it.
His movements were natural and instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone looked at him and then at Xu Qinghu, and their feelings were very complicated when they confirmed that he had completely changed his mind.
You Zhi lowered his eyelashes and pursed his lips.
He always wanted to find an opportunity to be alone with Xu Qinghu, but it seemed like fate was just not there every time.
Seeing her smiling and interacting with He Shengnian, he even wondered if he had used the date card hand-drawn by Xu Qinghulu earlier, whether there would have been greater progress between them.
But he was reluctant to use it.
He wanted to wait until the most appropriate time.
"It seems that Mr. He and Hulu had a good time yesterday," Du Yanting said with a smile, "The spirit is different today."
Xu Qinghu glanced at him and said, "Boss Du really cares about us."
"Of course," Du Yanting looked at her deeply, "I care about the happiness of everyone in the cottage."
Xu Qinghu rolled his eyes secretly and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
"Mr. He always does things so quickly, accurately and ruthlessly," Du Yanting did not let go of the topic. "It always surprises me."
He seemed to be talking about He Shengnian, but in fact he was referring to the fact that he was too heartless to Qiao Wanshu, and he wanted to stir up the audience's emotions.
He Shengnian didn't respond, but said to Xu Qinghu: "Take my car to the company later."
Xu Qinghu shook his head, "Not on the way."
"I've checked the time," He Shengnian said slowly, "I won't be late if I take you there."
Xu Qinghu blinked, "Really? Then let's set off early."
"No rush," He Shengnian pushed the steamed corn to her side, "It's still early."
Watching the two of them communicating as if no one was around, Qiao Wanshu's eyes darkened, and he had to try his best to restrain himself from revealing the slightest bit of sadness.
Du Yanting looked at them with a half-smile, especially at Xu Qinghu, as if wondering what charm she had that could make a cold man like He Shengnian become gentle.
Thinking of her ferocious appearance that night, Du Yanting snorted inwardly. If He Shengnian knew her true face, he would probably be disillusioned with her.
He supported his chin with his hand, and his gaze stayed on Xu Qinghu's face for a long time. Until Xu Qinghu looked up at him, he curled the corners of his mouth and casually looked away.
After dinner, He Shengnian drove Xu Qinghu to the company. Seeing the cute look of the girl turning around and waving goodbye to him after getting out of the car, He Shengnian's eyes flashed with a smile, "I'll pick you up in the afternoon."
"Ah?" Xu Qinghu took a step forward, approached him and asked, "Aren't you busy today?"
He Shengnian glanced at the time and said, "The schedule is not very full."
"Okay." Xu Qinghu said with a smile: "Then come early, I'll wait for you in the office."
"Yeah." He Shengnian looked at her deeply, "Go up, I'm leaving."
"Okay." Xu Qinghu waved to him, "Be careful on the road."
Watching He Shengnian's car gradually drive away, the smile on Xu Qinghu's face faded and he turned and walked towards the office building.
"Today's topic is the communication and exchange between actors and characters. When we receive a role, we must understand the subject in front of us, carefully observe its various details, and tap into its vitality, so as to empathize with it..."
“Even sculptures in museums, beautiful lamps you stumble across, or paintings by a certain artist—these seemingly lifeless objects are actually projections of a certain kind of life imagery. The same is true for the characters in a script.”
Teacher Liu looked at Xu Qinghu and said slowly, "Communicating with the character, empathizing with him, and conveying his emotions to the audience is a very important lesson."
She raised her hand and wrote a lot on the blackboard. She turned back to look at Xu Qinghu and said softly, "I know you are a very smart girl. You can easily understand a lot of knowledge without me having to explain it in detail. But since you are an actor, you must put in more energy and time to reach the level you want..."
Xu Qinghu didn't expect her to say this to him. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly smiled and said, "Thank you, Teacher Liu. I will definitely study hard."
Teacher Liu nodded, assigned her homework, and then turned and left.
Xu Qinghu sat in his seat and thought for a moment, thinking that Teacher Liu must also be following his love variety show. He was afraid that she would neglect her career because of love, so he couldn't help but come out to remind her, and couldn't help laughing twice.
The next day, Xu Qinghu and Qi Song cooked together.
As soon as they met in the kitchen, they disliked each other and started to argue with each other.
"Don't think you can rest easy just because you please Mr. He," Qi Song looked down at her and said sarcastically, "Would someone of his status really like a vulgar actor like you?"
Xu Qinghu narrowed his eyes. "Don't worry about what's going on between him and me. Just take care of yourself."
Seeing that she was unaffected, Qi Song lowered his voice and asked, "He Shengnian, do you know that you are usually so sharp-tongued?"
A trace of disgust flashed across Xu Qinghu's eyes. "If you don't want to cook, get out now."
She has been in a good mood recently and doesn't want to talk about this mess with Qi Song.
Unexpectedly, Qi Song not only did not leave, but also said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Can you catch the stolen things?"
Xu Qinghu raised his head, met his oppressive eyes, and suddenly laughed, "Are you standing up for others?"
She stared at Qi Song and suddenly realized: "It seems that you are indeed a loyal mad dog. Once the master is unhappy, you will start to bite people crazily."
Qi Song's expression changed, and he said angrily: "I'm just reminding you that it's best not to get too complacent."
"What qualifications do you have?" Xu Qinghu looked at him with a half-smile: "Do you dare to say those words again in front of the camera?"
Qi Song gritted his teeth secretly.
"That's all you've got," Xu Qinghu whispered. "Living like a rat in a gutter, what else can you do besides being helpless and furious?"
"You!" Qi Song stared at her intently, gritting his teeth and saying, "Just wait for me!"
Xu Qinghu didn't even blink, "Wait then, I'll be there anytime."
Qi Song: "..."
On Friday night, when everyone had finished dinner and was about to rest, the director asked them to go to the living room and announced the rules of tomorrow's date.
"Last time, the female guest decided the date and location. This time, it's the male guest's turn." The director said with a smile: "Please ask the male guest to prepare a date location of his choice and write it on a piece of paper. Let the female guest draw lots."
"The female guest who draws the date location will go out on a date with the male guest."
"Ah?" Zhong Zining couldn't help but ask, "Is this date matching so simple?"
"After all, dating depends on fate," the director said with a smile, "It's more interesting when there's a lot of uncertainty."
Everyone: "..."
After saying that, he asked the female guests to step aside first and leave the space for the male guests.
The five men were caught off guard by this rule and after thinking for a moment, they wrote down the location on a piece of paper.
Upon seeing this, the staff stepped forward, folded the paper, put in small balls of the same color, and placed it in a cardboard box that blocked the view.
