Chapter 485 Boyfriend and Girlfriend
"Good morning, President Meng!"
"Good morning, President Meng."
Early in the morning, the crew of "Beginning" greeted "President Meng" who came to the set with a bag in his hand.
"Hey, good morning, good morning..."
Meng Bai smiled and nodded in response, while walking to the side of the set. The leading actors of several crews were gathered here at this time, listening carefully to Director Wu Bai telling them what to shoot today and what to pay attention to.
Feeling someone coming, the leading actors turned their heads and looked over. Seeing that it was the big boss of the crew, they all stood up to greet him.
"No, no, you guys are busy with yours."
Meng Bai waved his hand, signaling everyone to continue and not to worry about himself. After so long, everyone also understood the character of President Meng, so there was no interruption, and turned back to listen to Wu Bai's speech.
Zhao Jinmai was naturally among the leading actors. Seeing her "boyfriend" coming over, she was particularly excited. While the people around were not paying attention, she secretly waved her finger to say hello.
Seeing this, Meng Bai first raised his hand to respond, then looked at the little girl and mouthed: "Listen carefully."
Zhao Jinmai understood what he meant and wrinkled her nose at him, but still suppressed her mood and turned back to listen to the director's introduction to the filming.
As the core heroine of "The Beginning", half of the plot of the whole play is here. In order not to delay the filming and to go back to class early, she has been very serious since the start of the filming and has also been under a lot of pressure.
It was for this reason, coupled with the special node of "eighteenth birthday" yesterday, that she couldn't help but express her wish.
Fortunately, the result is good. Although there is a one-year deadline, she is confident that within a year, this deadline will become forever.
This discussion meeting of the crew every morning is also a fixed link, and everyone quickly understood their respective shooting tasks for today.
After saying hello to the big boss on the side, the leading actors dispersed to rest and prepare.
"Mai Mai, wait a minute." Meng Bai shouted.
"Ah?"
Zhao Jinmai was stunned when her name was called, and then her cheeks instantly became rosy.
Damn, Brother Meng Bai is too careless! Calling me in front of so many people, won't this let everyone know about our relationship! She
just confessed her love last night, and she is now at her most sensitive. I originally wanted to pretend to leave naturally and find a "reasonable" excuse to meet later, but I didn't expect to be called out directly, which made her a little overwhelmed.
Liu Dan, the leading actor who happened to pass by, also heard Meng Bai's words. Seeing that Zhao Jinmai didn't respond in a daze, he reminded her: "Maimai, President Meng is calling you."
"Ah? Oh, okay, thank you Teacher Liu."
Zhao Jinmai, who was awakened, hurriedly responded, and then walked towards Meng Bai in a panic.
Seeing that the girl's face was a little strange, Liu Dan looked at her strangely, but didn't take it to heart.
Everyone knew on the first day of joining the group that this girl and President Meng had known each other for many years and had worked together many times, and they had a good relationship. Therefore, in the eyes of many people in the crew, they all regarded her as "Mr. Meng's little sister".
Therefore, Zhao Jinmai's worry was actually purely her own guilty conscience. For other people in the crew, this was just a trivial matter that the crew often saw on a daily basis.
On the other side, Zhao Jinmai hurriedly trotted to Meng Bai, and then deliberately raised her voice and said, "Good morning, Brother Meng Bai!"
She emphasized the three words "Brother Meng Bai" especially, as if she was clarifying something with the people around her.
"Morning, Mai Mai."
Meng Bai didn't care, and responded with a normal expression, and then handed over the bag in his hand.
"What is this?"
"Breakfast." Meng Bai said with a smile, "Isn't the boyfriend supposed to deliver breakfast?"
"Shh! Shh! Keep your voice down."
Zhao Jinmai hurriedly stopped him, and then shouted loudly to the people around: "This is the breakfast my mother asked me to bring. Thank you, Brother Meng Bai, sorry to bother you!"
Meng Bai raised his eyebrows and looked at her with amusement: "What are you doing?"
"Brother Meng Bai, we have to be careful when we are on the crew. Boyfriends and girlfriends should be discussed in private."
"Why, you weren't afraid when you confessed last night, but now you are afraid of others knowing?"
"Oh, I'm not afraid of others knowing, I'm afraid of my mother knowing." Zhao Jinmai puffed her lips and whispered, "She will definitely disagree if she knows, and she will scold me, so we must be careful."
Meng Bai's expression was a little weird, but it passed quickly.
Looking at Zhao Jinmai who was looking very cautious, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll stay in the crew the same as before."
"Yeah!" The girl nodded, "I'll be free when the filming is over and I go back to school. When you return to Jingbei, brother Meng Bai, we can be more casual."
"Okay, I'll take you on a date then."
Hearing the word "date", the girl's eyes suddenly lit up.
She had never been in love since she was a child. She had only seen dating in TV dramas and novels. For her, this was a symbolic term for lovers.
Hehe, I can also date Brother Meng Bai...
"Okay, stop laughing so foolishly." Meng Bai looked at Zhao Jinmai who was grinning in the same place, "Let's eat breakfast first, otherwise it will get cold soon."
"Oh, okay."
Zhao Jinmai responded, opened the bag and took a look: "Thank you Brother Meng Bai for the breakfast... Hey, why does it look a little familiar?"
"You must be familiar, it's the one that your mother put on your table this morning and you didn't eat it." Meng Bai looked at the confused girl, "What you said just now is actually not wrong. When I came here this morning, I happened to meet my aunt, and she asked me to bring breakfast over."
"You saw my mother!" Zhao Jinmai said in surprise: "Then, then you didn't reveal yourself, right?"
"I'm not a dumpling, how can I reveal the filling?"
Seeing her nervous look, Meng Bai comforted her: "Don't worry, if you don't say it and I don't say it, Auntie will definitely not know."
Zhao Jinmai thought about it and felt that it made sense.
The biggest flaw between him and Brother Meng Bai is that they might be a little closer and have a closer relationship. But the two have known each other for so many years, it is completely understandable that they are a little closer.
So as long as you restrain yourself a little during the next period of time on the crew, you don't have to worry about being discovered.
When the show is finished and I go back to Beijing to go to school, I can do whatever I want.
Zhao Jinmai suddenly felt that he had one more reason to finish the show quickly.
Looking at his "girlfriend" eating, Meng Bai chuckled. Then he remembered what she had just said, and his memory couldn't help but go back to just now.
...
Two hours ago.
In the early morning, there were only a few scattered guests in the coffee shop downstairs of the hotel, which seemed very empty.
Meng Bai sat at a table by the window and took a sip of the lemonade in front of him.
Sitting opposite him was Zhao Jinmai's mother, whom Zhao Jinmai tried hard to hide.
"Mr. Meng, you just said that you wanted to talk to me about Maimai."
Mother Zhao looked at Meng Bai. She had some guesses in her mind, but she was not sure, so she asked hesitantly, "I wonder what you want to say?"
"Auntie, you don't have to be so nervous." Meng Bai smiled and said, "I am actually your junior, so there is no need to be so polite."
Hearing this, Mother Zhao's heart sank again: "Mr. Meng, you...just say whatever you want to say, don't beat around the bush."
"Okay, Auntie is really quick-witted, so I'll say it straight." Meng Bai said, "I wonder if you know that Maimai has a good impression of me?"
Sure enough, the problem she was most worried about still appeared! Mother Zhao sighed secretly in her heart.
Although she thought so, she still said with a sullen face: "Mai Mai is an adult now, and it is the time for her to yearn for love. President Meng has known her for such a long time and has always taken good care of her. It is normal for her to have a good impression of you."
Tsk tsk, your expression is not "normal". Meng Bai complained silently.
But think about it, any mother would not be happy if a man came to her daughter who just turned 18 and said that her daughter had a good impression of me.
In fact, if there were other ways, Meng Bai would not want to find Zhao's mother. After all, it is very embarrassing for the person involved to talk about this kind of thing.
Fortunately, he left enough room for this matter.
"Like you said, Auntie, it's normal for Mai Mai to have a yearning for love at her age. After some time and things, it will naturally fade away." Meng Bai said, "So if there hadn't been some unexpected things, I wouldn't have looked for you."
Mother Zhao was stunned when she heard this: "Accident? What accident? Don't tell me that you found that you like Mai Mai too!"
"I do like Mai Mai very much, but it's just a brother's love for his sister." Meng Bai hurriedly explained before Mother Zhao exploded: "This is what happened. Yesterday was her birthday, and I saw her when I returned to the crew in the evening. I just wanted to wish her a happy birthday, but... she confessed to me."
Mother Zhao's heart tightened suddenly, and she stared at Meng Bai: "Did Mr. Meng agree?"
"Yes, I promised her to fulfill one of her birthday wishes, and she made this wish. So I promised her that I could be her boyfriend for a year."
"Mr. Meng, do you still want to say this... Eh? Wait, what do you mean by boyfriend for a year?"
Mother Zhao wanted to scold directly, but she had half of her words out when she suddenly realized that what the other party said seemed to be different from what she imagined.
"You can think of it as a...delaying tactic."
Meng Bai, who had avoided the scolding, said with an unchanged attitude: "We all know that a girl of Mai Mai's age, although she is an adult, is actually not mature mentally and will take this kind of emotional issue very seriously. If she confesses her feelings and I don't agree, she will fall deeper and deeper; but if I agree, she will really take it seriously, which will not be good for her career or future development."
Mother Zhang suddenly realized: "So, President Meng, you set up this "one-year boyfriend" to follow her wishes and let her vent her feelings. At the same time, you are constantly reminding her that this is just a birthday wish."
"I knew you would understand what I mean, Auntie." Meng Bai smiled.
"But how can you be sure that she will change her mind after a year? What if she likes you more than we think?" Mother Zhao asked again.
Meng Bai's breathing stagnated and he looked at her strangely.
No, Auntie, which side are you on? It sounds like you are expecting your daughter to fall deeply in love with me.
After thinking for a while, he said softly: "Little girls' love affairs usually come and go quickly. As long as you don't let it slip or deliberately forbid her to meet me, I believe it won't take long for her impulse to pass."
There is a saying in psychology called "Romeo and Juliet Effect". Simply put, when there is an external force that interferes with the love relationship between the two lovers, the emotions of the two lovers will be strengthened, and the relationship will become more solid. The
same is true for a little girl like Zhao Jinmai. She is at the peak of her emotional excitement. If Zhao's mother forces her not to contact Meng Bai again, it will only deepen her rebellious emotions and give this relationship more profound colors in her heart.
On the contrary, if Zhao's mother pretends not to know and even encourages her daughter to contact Meng Bai more, this emotion will be vented faster.
As the old saying goes, "it is better to vent than to block."
"I understand what you mean..." Zhao's mother nodded, "I will pay attention to controlling this aspect."
Knowing that the other party is not going to attack her daughter, she suddenly felt much more refreshed. As for the fact that her daughter secretly confessed her feelings and wanted to hide it from her, she would find another way to settle accounts with her later.
Putting aside her worries, Mother Zhao felt that her attitude towards Meng Bai just now was a bit too much. In any case, most of her daughter's current achievements in her career are due to him.
Speaking of which, even if she is a parent with a natural filter, she has to admit that Meng Bai is definitely more than enough for her daughter. Compared with those beautiful girls in the entertainment industry, the only advantage of her daughter is probably her young age.
But it is precisely because of this that Mother Zhao is more worried. I heard that many men in this circle like to deceive young girls. Although I have known Meng Bai for a few years and I know him a little bit, who knows if he will be the kind of person who will kick him away after playing with him.
Thinking of this, Mother Zhao suddenly felt that she couldn't encourage her daughter too much. Otherwise, if she was impulsive and threw herself into the other person's arms, would she bet that he was a gentleman?
Mother Zhao glanced at Meng Bai opposite her, and thought about the gossip about him on the Internet, and felt that it was still necessary to keep a closer eye on her daughter in some aspects.
Meng Bai didn't expect that Mother Zhao had thought so much in a short time. Seeing that she had no objection, he continued: "Since you, Auntie, also approve of my method, let's do it. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
"Happy cooperation."
...
Meng Bai withdrew his spreading thoughts and just came out of his memory. Suddenly, he heard a sweet voice ringing in his ears.
"Boyfriend!"
Zhao Jinmai called out with a bit of shyness.
Meng Bai instantly collected his thoughts, glanced at the girl's playful expression, chuckled and said, "What's wrong, girlfriend, aren't you afraid of being heard now?"
"There's no one here."
Zhao Jinmai blinked her big eyes, looking at him with stars in her eyes.
After she went back home last night, she didn't sleep well the whole night, and her mind was full of the words "Brother Meng Bai is my boyfriend."
In fact, both Meng Bai and Zhao's mother forgot one thing. Zhao Jinmai's love for Meng Bai was not a sudden whim this time, but there had been signs for a long time, until it broke out this time.
Therefore, no one can tell whether a year is enough for her emotions to subside.
"Boyfriend, are you still with the crew today?"
"Girlfriend, the National Day holiday starts tomorrow. There are several scenes to shoot next, and there may be a lot of tourists. I have to go to the police station in the surrounding area in advance to inform them, so as to avoid conflicts between the crew and passers-by."
"Police station?" Zhao Jinmai suddenly became interested, "Is it the Lanshan West Road Police Station?"
"You know this too?"
"Of course, I have been following the "Protecting Lanshan West" on Heng Video recently."
Zhao Jinmai smiled and said, "This program has been very popular on the Internet recently. My classmates knew that I was filming in Landao, and they came to me and said that if they could leave school during the National Day holiday, they planned to come to Landao for a trip and check in at the Lanshan West Road Police Station."
"Check in at the police station?"
"Yeah, what?"
"It's okay, I hope criminals can be so motivated."
