Chapter 117

After a moment of silence, the casino was once again filled with whispers and sighs, even noisier than before. Some people even shouted, trying to attract the man's attention, just to get a glimpse of him from a distance.

This man named Adonis is not usually seen in ordinary outfields.

He almost only serves wealthy businessmen or politicians. Anyone who can be dealt cards by him personally must be no simple person. Therefore, being a man has become a characteristic that the powerful people in this casino want to show their identity.

"Adonis."

Blake straightened up and gently kicked the young man at his feet like he was throwing away a toy. He looked at the man with malicious eyes, "Why, shouldn't people who violate the casino rules be punished?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Everyone in the casino knew about the disagreement between Blake and Adonis.

Although Blake's position is higher than Adonis's in name, Adonis is the one who occupies a higher position in the boss's eyes. From hiding it under the calm surface at the beginning to being exposed to everyone's eyes now, almost everyone knows that Blake regards Adonis as a thorn in his side.

"I will be punished, but not lynched by you." Adonis said coldly.

He answered coldly, glanced at the young man on the ground, and spoke softly, full of warning, "Don't think the boss doesn't know what you did."

Blake froze visibly, though only for a second. He smiled sarcastically, "Okay, then I'll let you judge him."

Adonis rescued the hero.

The secluded room was the exclusive lounge for the dealers, but no one was there at this time, so it was particularly quiet. The male protagonist stood quietly, watching Adonis take off his dusty gloves, revealing the hands that had been praised by countless people.

"Why are you helping me?" The young man glared at him with his green eyes. He was a hooligans who had been idle since his youth, but in front of Adonis, he looked extremely immature.

"I just don't want to see Blake succeed." Adonis answered coldly.

"Too perfunctory~" The male protagonist said with a look of 'I don't believe it', "You really are at odds with Blake like they said. So what did Blake's family do?"

"You don't need to know."

"Tsk, so mysterious." The male protagonist relaxed and took a bite of an apple. "Can you tell the truth? I remember that violating the rules does not bring good consequences. Help me, is it worth it?"

Adonis did not answer, but took out another pair of new white gloves and put them on. After a long silence, he said, "You remind me of someone."

"A person?" The male protagonist felt that this sentence was quite familiar, because he had heard his colleagues say this when he first came to the casino and showed off his talent of photographic memory.

He even remembered the name, which was -

"Noah?"

As soon as the name came out, the iceberg-like man came alive. Two lights lit up in Adonis' eyes, like the angry flames before a volcano erupted. "How do you know his name?"

This man is very angry. The man who was pulled by the collar and pressed against the wall thought, he tried to pull Adonis's hand away, "Hey, don't be impulsive, I just heard it."

After a long time, Adonis finally let go of her hand and returned to his cold expression.

The male protagonist's curiosity was aroused. Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, he heard Adonis say, "You want to save her?"

"Who?" The hero's heart skipped a beat.

No way...he knows Nitia?

"No matter who it is." Adonis looked unwilling to say more and looked at the young man deeply. "If it happens again, I won't be able to save you."

"But—I will help you."

As the door closed, the only sound in the empty room was the protagonist's breathing. He listened to Adonis's footsteps getting farther and farther away, and then he sat down on the floor along the cabinet like a paralyzed person.

“Cut!”

Following the director's final instructions, Bai Gaoxing's heart finally settled down and he let out a long breath.

The atmosphere of this scene was extremely tense. Not only him, but the actors watching the scene also held their breath and were drawn into the emotions of Darren and Li Pho.

and……

Bai Gaoxing recalled how the man's aura suddenly changed because of the word "Noah" and he became particularly angry, and he felt his heart beating faster.

He might have inexplicably put himself into Noah's shoes.

Bai Gaoxing slapped his face, warning himself not to get so into the role so realistically. Then he raised his eyes to look for the familiar figure and walked towards him.

"Daren, your hand!" Nitia also came over. She looked at the back of the young man's hand in surprise. At this time, it was completely swollen and looked a little miserable.

Bai Gaoxing happened to be standing nearby. He leaned over to take a look and frowned, "Isn't that person going too far?"

"That's right!" Nitia was a fiery girl. "I'll go talk to Frank!"

"Wait, wait." Darren held her back, smiled at Li Pu who was walking over, and said with a frown: "Although I don't want to say this...but, Li and Bai, you two have to be careful from now on."

Under the bright light, the white-haired boy stood quietly and obediently, his handsome face easily attracted other people's attention; and the man behind him was also very outstanding in appearance, especially his cold eyebrows and eyes, which made people want to explore his expression beyond the coldness.

It is understandable why the two of them attract attention wherever they go in the crew.

Darren looked around carefully and coughed softly: "I feel like he's always looking at you two...Are you friends? Or have you ever offended him?"

More than once, every time he saw Park Jiahui, this man would always look at them with ambiguous eyes.

Bai Gaoxing's eyelids twitched violently.

Li Phou's expression became more serious. "Thank you," he said to Darren.

Darren wanted to say something else, but suddenly, the director's applause attracted everyone's attention.

"Okay, come here!"

Frank sat at a round table and stood up to conduct: "I want to try the big scene of the casino table. Now continue shooting backwards."

It's already midnight.

The actors were extremely grateful that they had eaten something in the afternoon and did not just eat the big cakes that the director had treated them to.

All the dealers came to their respective tables, and the extras began to stir up the atmosphere.

The plot at the gambling table is basically about the dealer showing off his skills, from close-ups to long shots. You don’t need to be an expert to watch it, as the goal is to create a visual admiration.

Of course, it would be better if experts couldn’t tell that you are a novice.

A specialist had given instruction two days before, and the actors had also been practicing hard in private, so Frank wanted to see their results.

The photographer started moving with his equipment.

Bai Gaoxing stood outside the camera, looking at Li Pu at the gambling table in the distance. Normally, he should have shot alone in the VIP room, but the director did it mainly for testing and to see if there were any usable lenses.

In the hands of the dealers, poker cards are like butterflies spreading their wings to fly. Some are graceful and smooth, while others falter after just two flips. In short, it is dazzling and the scene is very spectacular.

Bai Gaoxing was watching curiously when he was suddenly patted by a hand. It was Director Frank.

"Bai, you have to learn these tricks too," Frank said with a friendly smile, "You and Li must shine in this detail."

Oh, the pressure came instantly.

Bai Gaoxing nodded, "Yes, sir."

"Don't be so formal, just call me Frank." Frank patted his shoulder and said, "Take your time. I have enough time and patience for you."

"I will learn it as soon as possible." Bai Gaoxing was extremely helpless. It sounded like this sentence meant that there was enough time to "torture" you.

Hope everything goes well.

Now, Bai Gaoxing's mind is full of Noah's situation in the casino.

The card-playing part took a long time to shoot.

When Frank said stop, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the chairs nearby almost exhausted.

"To be honest, gentlemen, I'm not very satisfied." Frank leaned on the table and said word by word, "So, practice more."

"good--"

"Then let's go and get something to eat!" After leaving the movie, Frank regained his smiling face and waved his hand, "It's my treat!"

…

It was almost dawn.

The clouds on the horizon were shining brightly, which matched the slightly cool temperature very well.

However, Las Vegas was in a good time at that time, and the restaurants and hotels on the street were still very busy. Frank booked a restaurant and everyone who wanted to eat together came along.

The restaurant did not have private rooms, so everyone sat in groups of two or four. Bai Gaoxing and Li Pu naturally sat together.

Bai Gaoxing started fiddling with his phone.

The waiter placed breakfast plates on the table, emitting steam. As if to compensate the actors for their hard work, steaks were served early in the morning.

Is it really good to eat these after a sleepless night?

Bai Gaoxing yawned and looked up inadvertently, only to see that Li Pu had already covered his face with his eyes closed.

The dim light from the window shone on his body, outlining a faint outline.

Hmm…

This was probably the first time he saw Li Pu fall asleep. Bai Gaoxing stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him, but there was no response.

How strange.

Bai Gaoxing leaned forward curiously, looking at the shadows and a hint of blue under the man's eyes, and couldn't help feeling extremely puzzled.

He remembered...didn't he sleep for a long time yesterday?

Bai Gaoxing also held up his head and looked at Li Pu with a smile. He fanned the aroma of rice towards him, trying to wake him up with the delicious food, but it was useless.

Li Pho was sleeping soundly, breathing evenly, and had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

Surprisingly, he was able to seize such a good opportunity. Bai Gaoxing silently raised his phone and took a picture of the person.

Send it out...~

Can't bear to.

Bai Gaoxing wrinkled his nose.

Positive face, handsome, keep it.

Then he turned the camera, quietly moved the chair to the side of Li Pho, and took a selfie with the V sign.

[Teacher Li fell asleep, thank you for your hard work~[Picture]]

On Weibo, fans suddenly widened their eyes and stared at the new Weibo post from Xiaobai.

The young man stood in front of the camera with a smile, and behind him was Li Pu and his profile sitting in a seat. When the camera zoomed in, it was seen that the man had his eyes closed and seemed to be sleeping soundly.

"!!! Teacher Li, you are so disappointing that you can even fall asleep at this time!"

"So close! I can see it so clearly! The eyelashes are so beautiful! Little White's divine face ahh ...

"I was moved to tears. I was able to see Teacher Li's handsome photo from Teacher Xiaobai. Please send more!!!"

Commentators swarmed over to praise the business, and as they spoke they started talking about the movie the boy was about to star in.

Just this morning, they saw the makeup photos sent by Director Frank.

I never thought that Xiaobai would be able to star in a movie with Li Pu, and his image is so attractive.

In the photo, the boy's white hair above the ear tips was tied up and tied into a small bun at the back of his head, with the rest of his hair hanging loose. His fluffy and soft temperament had a youthful sharpness, and paired with a close-fitting vest suit, he completed the transformation from a little brother next door to a sophisticated young master.

"Please, my birthday wish this year is that Casino must be released in China!"

"The plasticity is amazing... Is Teacher Xiaobai planning to enter the entertainment industry (pass the microphone)?"

"Don't mention it. After watching the original novel of Casino, I couldn't breathe. Now I just want to press the director to shoot quickly!"

If they were still hesitant after seeing Frank’s Weibo post, they were reassured after seeing the makeup photos.

Especially after reading the original version of "Casino" found by an enthusiastic netizen, the excitement that had been suppressed could no longer be controlled.

They were not shocked by Adonis's charm, nor were they sad for Noah, but the two of them together -

Adonis and Noah, they are a couple!!!

I originally thought that the movie shot by Mr. Li was just a more exciting background, but I didn't expect it to be such a big surprise! What's more... the person who plays the other half is completely worthy of Mr. Li's looks, and they also love Mr. Xiaobai.

Help! What kind of fate is this?

Fans who love the original work began to promote it everywhere.

I also heard that the director couldn't find a suitable male actor for the role of Noah, and considered using a female actor, but finally gave up because he felt it wasn't suitable.

What a good way to give up!

Otherwise, how would Teacher Xiaobai get up there?

Bai Gaoxing was infected by the fans' enthusiastic comments and suddenly remembered that he and Li Pu would play a couple...

It's so unreal.

He shook his head, ignored the red tips of his ears, and took out his phone to take a bunch of photos of Li Pu, saving them in the album.

The actors next to them were busy eating and didn't pay attention to the movements at the nearby tables. The noisy atmosphere provided a strong concealing effect.

After a few minutes, Li Pho woke up.

Bai Gaoxing, who was still taking pictures, quickly put away his phone, handed the spoon to Li Pu, and blinked innocently, "It's time to eat."

Li Pho responded.

All this was seen by Darren and Nitia behind.

He couldn't help but touch Nitia and lowered his voice, "Look, let me tell you."

"I saw it." Nitia held her chin and stirred the juice in front of her. Her tone was as mature as an old senior. "But in my opinion, I'm not completely sure."

"After all, they will be--"

"The curtain couple."
