Chapter 39 Little Fangirl and the "Eavesdropper"
In the lounge next to the "convenience store" studio, Li Qin was boredly scrolling through the comments from fans on her Weibo.
"Qinbao is so beautiful! (﹃)"
"Sister, kill me!!!"
"Wow! Did Qinqin shoot a horror movie? I really want to watch it but I don't dare to!"
"Sister, why did you take on a web drama? It's too cheap!"
"That's right, what's the level of this studio! Don't they even read the script?"
...
"I just read the script before I took it." Looking at the comments on Weibo, Li Qin secretly complained.
Of course, she definitely couldn't say such words. The most she could say was "I chose it because I like the script very much. This role is very challenging. Please look forward to it."
Just as she was about to reply to the fan who asked "Why did you take on a web drama", Li Qin suddenly heard a noise outside the lounge.
She was wondering what happened when she saw her assistant Jia Jia push the door and walk in.
"What's going on outside?"
"Oh, a very beautiful girl came. She said she was a replacement actress found by producer Meng. The men in the production crew saw her and were watching." Jia Jia curled her lips, showing disdain for the men outside the door who "judged by appearance".
Li Qin was curious after hearing this, so she stood up and walked to the door and looked outside.
Sure enough, a very beautiful girl was standing in front of Wu Bai with a nervous expression, listening to the other party arranging the scenes.
"She is indeed very beautiful." Li Qin nodded and admitted.
Meng Bai, this guy, has a good eye, and the actresses he found are all very beautiful.
"I think she is far worse than you." Jia Jia stated her position decisively.
Li Qin turned around and smiled at her, "Although you are a very hard flatterer, but... I like it. By the way, where is Meng Bai?"
"Oh, I just saw him with another girl. The girl was quite friendly to producer Meng. I wonder if the two knew each other before."
"Ah, so..."
Li Qin heard this, responded with a subtle expression, and then returned to her seat and sat down.
Jia Jia asked in confusion: "Sister Qin, aren't you going to take a look?"
"Ha, what does it have to do with me? Why should I go and see?"
"Oh——" Jia Jia finished with an ambiguous ending, smiled, and said nothing.
Li Qin reopened Weibo and remembered the comment she had not replied to just now.
She typed two words, felt something was wrong, and deleted it. She typed
two more words, still felt something was wrong, and deleted it again.
Forget it, I won't reply!
Li Qin was a little annoyed when she flipped through the hot searches on Weibo, swiping her fingers back and forth, but she only saw one and had no interest in clicking on it.
"This hot search is really something, any little thing can be on it."
Li Qin turned off her phone, stood up, and raised her voice and said: "I'm going out to get some fresh air and go to the bathroom by the way."
After that, without waiting for the assistant to respond, she walked out on her own.
After leaving the door, Li Qin walked out of the studio with a calm face, and from time to time she looked around quickly when no one was paying attention.
Not far away, she saw Meng Bai from a distance. As the assistant said, he was talking to a beautiful girl who was very close to him.
Li Qin pretended to be casual and slowly approached, and stopped beside the fence of a studio.
This position is good, not far away, and she can barely hear the sound of the two people talking. The height and angle of the fence just ensure that she will not be seen.
Eavesdropping? What eavesdropping? These two people are chatting in public, anyone who walks here can hear it. I just happened to pass by, so there is no eavesdropping.
Li Qin stood next to the fence and tried to prick up her ears to listen to the conversation between the two.
"... Senior Brother Meng Bai, don't you remember me?"
A girl's voice with some expectation came, and Li Qin's eyes widened instantly.
Did you hear such exciting news as soon as you arrived?
——Looking
at Zhu Xudan's face slightly tilted up, nervous and expectant, Meng Bai really didn't dare to say "Who are you?"
Logically speaking, this girl shouldn't be someone he met in any crew, otherwise they were junior sisters from the same school, so he should have some impression of her.
Since he hadn't seen her in the crew, it must have happened when he was in school before graduation.
Recalling Zhu Xudan's information, he remembered that this girl should be from the junior college class of the Performance Department. Although he often went to the Performance Department when he was in school, the junior college class and the undergraduate class of the Central Academy of Drama had different class hours, and the dormitories were not in the same place, so there were generally no opportunities for communication.
The only place where they might have met was the club drama performance at the Experimental Theater.
At this point in his thoughts, Meng Bai seemed to have some vague memories.
"When we were rehearsing the senior graduation drama at the Experimental Theater, several freshman girls went to help. One girl put the props upside down and was almost scolded. That was you, right?" Meng Bai turned out the few remaining memories in the corner of the memory palace.
Zhu Xudan's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "It's me, it's me! Senior brother, you spoke for me at that time! Hehe, you really still remember it."
Meng Bai was also a little surprised by this chance encounter, and subconsciously smiled and said: "Is it really you? Wow, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have grown so big."
"..."
"Puff——" Li Qin behind the fence almost laughed out loud, how did you blurt out this "exclusive polite words for elders who go home for the New Year" that suddenly came out.
On the other side, Zhu Xudan also looked at Meng Bai in a daze, wondering how he suddenly became like a "child who was watched growing up".
"Sorry, sorry." Meng Bai waved his hand: "I just feel that saying this sentence in this scene seems to be a fixed combination, sorry."
"It doesn't matter." Zhu Xudan didn't care, and still said happily: "Brother Meng Bai, I'm very happy that you can remember it."
"Well, I'm just a passerby senior brother of yours, remember what's so happy about it." Meng Bai said with a self-deprecating smile.
"How could that be? Our classmates all thought you were amazing, senior brother!" Zhu Xudan said anxiously, "At that time, the sophomore and junior sisters introduced you to us. The script you wrote was used as the graduation drama, and the novel you wrote online was also adapted into a movie. It's super amazing!"
At this point, she seemed to remember something, and continued, "And senior sister Song Zhi, you were like the male and female protagonists in a campus drama in our eyes at the time. A screenwriter and an actor, and both are so outstanding. We are so envious."
After that, Zhu Xudan asked curiously, "By the way, how is senior sister Song Zhi now? Are you guys okay? I heard that she seems to have been admitted to the People's Art Theater Troupe. I thought you would choose to work together."
"Ah, your senior sister Song..."
Meng Bai smiled indifferently and said, "She should be doing well now."
Although Meng Bai said it calmly, everyone could hear the unfamiliarity in his tone.
Zhu Xudan's smile slowly faded, and she asked cautiously: "Brother, you and Sister Song...you..."
"We broke up." Meng Bai did not hide it, and generously said the result.
Behind the fence, Li Qin's eyes widened.
It was worth squatting here for a long time, and I can actually eat such a big melon!
