Chapter 36



Long after Zhao Rui left, Yu Xin still felt guilty.

He sat and stood for a while, pacing around the room anxiously, and asked Yu Qinghuan anxiously: "Qinghuan, did I go too far? This... do you think I should call him to apologize?"

He never imagined that "Orange Yellow" was actually adapted from Zhao Rui's personal experience, and thought that his downtrodden look was a deliberate imitation of a decadent youth. If he had known this in advance, he would never have joked about other people's sad stories even if he was beaten to death.

"It's okay," Yu Qinghuan comforted him, "You didn't do it on purpose. Zhao Rui won't take it to heart."

After a pause, seeing that Yu Xin's face was still full of guilt, he continued, "If this matter really couldn't be told, Zhao Rui wouldn't have written it into a script and prepared to make it into a movie."

At this point, Yu Xin finally understood. "Yes, I was really stupid."

Yu Qinghuan poured him a cup of hot water and pushed it over, gently changing the subject, "Brother, please help me find a nutritionist. I want to lose weight."

"Qinghuan, do you really want to do this?" Yu Xin was a little worried, "We don't know if this movie can be released yet."

Due to lack of funds, the crew of "Orange Yellow" will start work next week. Yu Qinghuan does not have much time to lose weight. Losing a lot of weight in a short period of time will cause irreparable damage to the body.

Yu Xin sighed. If possible, he really didn't want Yu Qinghuan to work so hard.

"I know my limits and won't lose too much weight." Yu Qinghuan tapped the coffee table with his fingers and said while thinking, "In the first half of the filming, the requirements for my image are not so strict, so three weeks are reserved. I plan to lose 15 pounds, which should be no problem."

Yu Qinghuan is already very thin now. If she loses another eight pounds, the effect will definitely be obvious. Coupled with the makeup, she will be able to play Zhao Qingping.

He paused, turned to look at Yu Xin, and said seriously: "Brother, since I have taken over this film, I have to be responsible for it."

"Okay," seeing that he had made up his mind, Yu Xin didn't waste any more words and stood up to help him contact a nutritionist.

Yu Qinghuan originally wanted to spend more time with Zhao Rui before filming so as to deepen his understanding of the script. But a phone call from Ada disrupted his plan.

Because of Shen Ji's incident, Yu Qinghuan's popularity on the Internet has not yet subsided. Evanson made a prompt decision and decided to strike while the iron is hot and released the news that he is endorsing the Lengdan series of watches in advance.

Therefore, Yu Qinghuan had to put down everything she was doing and go shoot Ada's commercial first.

Fortunately, Ada had worked overtime to come up with an advertising plan, and because of Yu Qinghuan's experience in his previous life, when facing the camera, he not only did not look awkward at all, but instead performed very well, which made the photographer praise him endlessly.

It took only two days to complete the filming of the advertising blockbuster, which was immediately released on the official blog.

In the first photo, Yu Qinghuan was wearing a pure black suit. He raised his hand slightly, just revealing the silver-white dial watch on his wrist. On his beautifully skeletal wrist, black and white intertwined to create a breathtaking beauty that caught people's attention at a glance.

In the second photo, he is sitting on a dark sofa, wearing a dark red shirt which is rarely seen in advertisements. His hand with a watch is placed on his slightly raised chin. He looks cold and noble, and his unique aristocratic temperament is highlighted.

The excited netizens screamed and called out "What a beautiful girl!"

"Oh my god! I'm dead! How come Qinghuan's wrist is so pretty! Ah!!! The watch is so beautiful too!"

"Ah!!! I can't take it anymore! I decided to buy it for my boyfriend!! It's so pretty! Don't you think this watch will give Qinghuan an indescribable impulse when she wears it →_→"

“It looks amazing!! I have never liked Ada’s products! I always thought their designs were a bit heavy, but I’m sold on their recommendation this time!”

"Ahhh! The price of this series is very attractive! I can still afford it if I save some money! I just have a question! Will you give Qing Huan's poster as a gift when I buy a watch? If you give it to me, I will buy it!"

"Upstairs +1."

……………………

While the internet was in a frenzy, Fang Zhongxi in the hotel slammed his phone down. He glared at Evanson, "Are you kidding me?"

Fang Zhongxi had a rather cold appearance, with red eyes and a stubborn and forbearing look, which immediately made Evanson feel hot all over. He seemed not to notice Fang Zhongxi's angry eyes. He stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms, whispering in his ear, "Baby, you're blaming me wrongly. I never made any promises."

Evanson loves to play and always accepts beautiful women. He has slept with countless people over the years. But there has never been anyone like Fang Zhongxi who could make him unable to stop, and he even thought that even his anger was so beautiful.

"Get lost!" Fang Zhongxi pushed him away fiercely and bit his tongue hard to keep himself from collapsing. "Evanson, you will be punished!"

The smile on Evanson's face suddenly disappeared, not because of his curse, but because of the disgust on his face.

He had always known that Fang Zhongxi didn't like men, and he always used this to humiliate him. He always felt very refreshed when he saw him trying to restrain himself but ultimately having to succumb to lust.

So what if I'm straight? Once we get in bed, I can let him do whatever he wants!

As for whether Fang Zhongxi felt wronged or not, he didn't care at all. Anyway, it's just a moment of pleasure, and no one belongs to anyone.

But now, when he looked at him with that look, Evanson suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and he almost couldn't breathe.

"Are you brave enough?" He pinched Fang Zhongxi's chin fiercely and blurted out vicious words, "He's just a prostitute."

Fang Zhongxi shuddered all over, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He slapped Evanson's hand away and said coldly, "You said I was a prostitute, but did you pay me? I got Ada's design director for free, so I made a profit!"

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

As soon as he took a step forward, Evanson grabbed his wrist. His voice was calm, but mixed with undisguised anger, "Where are you going?"

"Of course, find someone who can afford the price!"

Evanson sneered, "You are such a slut. You can't live without a man for a day! You don't have to look for someone else. Don't you want to be the spokesperson for Chicly's windbreaker? Stay with me for another month, and I will help you get this endorsement. How about that?"

"Do you think I'm stupid? Don't you know that the endorsement over there has already been confirmed?" Fang Zhongxi shook his wrist vigorously, trying to get rid of his hand, but he never succeeded. He was so angry that he gasped, "You want to play tricks on me again? Dream on!"

"Don't worry," Evanson said solemnly, "I gave the watch endorsement to Yu because I owe Huo Rong a favor. As for Chicly, it's yours if you want it. It's just a small, second-rate brand that only people like you would care about."

Huo Rong!

Fang Zhongxi was shocked, and he asked why Ada chose Yu Qinghuan! It turns out that the person behind Yu Qinghuan is Huo Rong!

Isn’t Yu Qinghuan aloof? Don't you look down on him? What’s the difference between them and myself actually!

But why did he have such good luck to be able to cling to Huo Rong's thigh all of a sudden? And himself... He looked hatefully at Evanson who was so close to him, but he was being fooled around by this bastard!

"How is it?" Evanson casually turned the phone in his hand and asked contemptuously.

Fang Zhongxi closed his eyes. He wanted to slap Evanson hard and leave the room without looking back, but... he couldn't.

After a brief silence, he heard his own calm yet unfamiliar voice, "I promise."

Yu Qinghuan didn't know what was going on secretly. His diet had already been prepared, and these days, he was strictly following the instructions to lose weight.

Every time Yu Xin saw the little bit of food he ate, he felt that he was torturing himself.

Yu Qinghuan was only in his early twenties, and had a strong appetite. Even a saint would not be able to bear eating only a little at each meal. And he really didn't understand. It was obvious at first glance that "Orange and Yellow" was a niche subject. Even if it was lucky enough to pass the review and be released, it was estimated that not many people would watch it.

Reality is bad enough. Who doesn't watch a movie to relax? How could they choose such a heavy subject? Is it really worth going to this extent for a movie that is doomed to fail?

"Eat more," Yu Xin pushed his meal to him. Although he knew that the diet made by the nutritionist was fine, he couldn't help but say, "If you keep going like this, you'll collapse before the movie even starts. It's okay to eat a little more every now and then."

Yu Qinghuan didn't even look at the delicious stir-fried dishes, and continued to eat his vegetable salad, refusing: "No need, brother, you can eat it yourself, it's fine with me."

Before Yu Qinghuan, Yu Xin had never seen an artist with such self-control as Yu Qinghuan. Even though I know that being fat will not look good on camera and that the media will take ugly photos of me and laugh at me, I still can't control my mouth.

But Yu Qinghuan really did what he said and would not compromise at all.

Sometimes it’s a worry that your own children are too easy to take care of.

Yu Xin sighed, looked up at Yu Qinghuan who was already beginning to lose weight, and silently took the food to another room to eat.

On the fifth day of weight loss, Yu Qinghuan joined the group. Zhao Rui is really poor. Even though "Orange Yellow" is just a low-budget movie, it is a heavy burden for him. The 850,000 yuan that even Yu Xin didn't care about was actually the limit of what he could give.

All the facilities of the crew were very simple. Zhao Rui had to take on several duties by himself. Even the place he lived in was a simple wooden house built at a nearby construction site.

"Oh my god," Yu Xin jumped up and held his forehead with his hands as he looked at the rows of low and drafty wooden houses.

This Zhao Rui is really good at saving money. He even wondered if Zhao Rui would let the actors bring their own tents and sleep directly on the set if it were summer now!

“Qinghuan, come here quickly.” Yu Xin cleaned Yu Qinghuan’s room carelessly, not even bothering to pack her luggage. He immediately plugged in the electric blanket and called Yu Qinghuan, “Hurry up and warm up in bed. This place is so…”

Before he could finish his sentence, the thin wooden door was suddenly blown open by the north wind and hit him on the back with a clang.

The biting cold air suddenly rushed into the room, making Yu Xin shiver. He didn't care about the pain on his back, and quickly turned around and closed the door, muttering, "This is terrible, terrible."

"Zhao Rui will come to me for something later," Yu Qinghuan shook his head and refused. He put on the gloves Huo Qu gave him and said, "Brother, you should go back first. There won't be too much to do here. My house is being renovated, so I need your help to keep an eye on it."

"Okay, then I'll leave first. Call me if you have anything." Yu Xin knew that Yu Qinghuan didn't want to suffer with him here, so he readily accepted his kindness and drove away in his broken second-hand Audi.

After seeing Yu Xin off, Yu Qinghuan was just about to go to the set to take a look when she ran into Zhao Rui at the corner. He seemed to be in a good mood, and there was a rare smile on his face. However, it was not known whether it was because he hadn't smiled in a long time or what, so his smile was very stiff, and he looked even more terrifying.

"Brother Rui," Yu Qinghuan greeted him and was about to say something when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a little girl following behind Zhao Rui. Zhao Rui had just completely blocked her behind him, so much so that Yu Qinghuan didn't even see her.

The little girl looked only six or seven years old, with big eyes, curly hair, and wearing a pink down jacket. She was as pretty as a little angel.

Yu Qinghuan immediately guessed that this should be the girl who acted with him in "Orange Yellow".

Zhao Rui nodded in response to his greeting, took a step back, and introduced to Yu Qinghuan: "This is Wang Ruirui, the actor who plays Zhao Qing'an."

Turning to Wang Ruirui, the hard voice softened a lot, pointing at Yu Qinghuan and said: "This is Yu Qinghuan, who plays your brother Zhao Qingping in Orange Yellow."

"Hello Ruirui, I'm Yu Qinghuan, you can call me Brother Qinghuan." Yu Qinghuan walked over, squatted in front of the little girl, and greeted her gently.

Wang Ruirui seemed a little afraid of Zhao Rui, her face was tense the whole time, but when she saw Yu Qinghuan's pretty smile, she relaxed a lot, even smiled at Yu Qinghuan, and obediently called him, "Brother Qinghuan."

The little girl's voice was soft and sticky, and her big black round eyes blinked at Yu Qinghuan, which immediately made him feel so cute.

I couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her furry hat. "Are you cold? Where is your room? I'll take you there."

"She lives in the hotel over there," Zhao Rui interrupted before Wang Ruirui could speak, "She is too young to live in a wooden house."

"It's my duty," Yu Qinghuan nodded to show his understanding. He stood up and wanted to go with Zhao Rui to see Zhao Ruirui off, but Zhao Rui stopped him firmly, "I can do it myself."

After saying this, without waiting for Yu Qinghuan's reaction, he took Wang Ruirui's hand and left.

Wang Ruirui seemed to want to stay with Yu Qinghuan for a while longer, but seeing Zhao Rui's gloomy face, she didn't dare to say anything and could only let him lead her away.

Watching the figures of the two, one big and one small, gradually walking away, Yu Qinghuan sighed.

It can be seen that Zhao Rui is very wary of him getting close to Wang Ruirui. Perhaps it was because the psychological trauma caused by what happened to his sister was so great that he instinctively guarded against any adult man around him approaching the little girl.

Yu Qinghuan was not angry, but just felt a little emotional.

I hope Zhao Rui can make this movie well, fulfill his wish, and then slowly move on and live a normal life.

The day after Yu Qinghuan joined the crew, the filming of "Orange Yellow" started, and the shooting went unexpectedly smoothly.

Wang Ruirui seemed to like Yu Qinghuan particularly. Even if Zhao Rui didn't allow her to be alone with Yu Qinghuan, she would run to Yu Qinghuan whenever she had time.

This led to her actually showing a lot of dependence on her brother to Yu Qinghuan during the filming, which was an unexpected surprise.

Yu Qinghuan also likes Wang Ruirui very much. Although the girl is young, she has already filmed several dramas and her acting skills are very good compared to her peers. What’s even more rare is that she has a good personality. Even when filming under such difficult conditions, she never loses her temper and always does whatever the director asks her to do.

When there was no drama, he would just sit quietly aside, flipping through a fairy tale book, or daydreaming, and he never made trouble.

The only time he cried was when he accidentally fell down. It was so painful that he couldn't help but shed tears. He is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

After a day of shooting, Zhao Rui first personally sent Wang Ruirui back to the hotel before coming back to pack up the equipment.

Yu Qinghuan did not return to the room, but stayed beside Zhao Rui to help him.

"Brother Rui, what's the matter with Ruirui? She's so young and she's already out filming. Why is there no one around to take care of her?"

Seeing Zhao Rui stop to smoke, Yu Qinghuan finally couldn't help but asked the doubts that had been in his heart for several days.

Hearing this, Zhao Rui took a deep puff of his cigarette and snorted, "Her mother couldn't wait to throw her to me the day she joined the group."

It turned out that not long after Wang Ruirui was born, her parents divorced and each started their own family.

Neither side wanted Wang Ruirui as their child, and they kept passing her around like a ball. A big part of the reason why Wang Ruirui started acting at such a young age was because her parents thought that this would allow them to make money while giving their child a chance to move on.

"They are all scum!" Zhao Rui bit the cigarette and cursed darkly.

After listening to this, Yu Qinghuan felt very uncomfortable. This was obviously the child she brought into this world, how could he be so cruel to her, especially since Wang Ruirui was so well-behaved and sensible.

This world is really cruel. He dreams of having a family, but those who have one never know how to cherish it.

Yu Qinghuan was worried, and when she went to bed that night, she had many bizarre dreams. The next morning, she washed her face with cold water before she woke up.

When he arrived at the set, Zhao Rui was fiddling with the monitor, and Wang Ruirui was sitting behind him with her head down, thinking about something.

Yu Qinghuan felt that the little girl was a little depressed, so he walked over and sat next to her, and asked softly, "Did Ruirui have breakfast?"

Wang Ruirui nodded, still without looking up.

"What's wrong?" Yu Qinghuan reached out to help her brush away the fluff on her hat that was blocking her eyes. "Who bullied our little princess?"

"Brother Qinghuan," Wang Ruirui's eyes were red, and she sniffed and asked him in a low voice: "Am I very annoying?"

"Of course not." Yu Qinghuan took out a White Rabbit from his pocket, peeled it and fed it to her. "Rui Rui is pretty and smart, and she can act. How can she be annoying? I love her so much."

"But mom and dad don't want me..." Wang Ruirui bit her lip, tears falling down, "They only like my brother..."

Yu Qinghuan sighed and wiped her tears, "Don't cry, you won't be pretty if you cry anymore." He picked up the little girl and put her on his knees. He said softly, "It's not that Ruirui is bad, but adults sometimes do stupid things. Just like the Snow White you watched yesterday, some people don't like her, but you can't say she's not pretty or kind, right?"

"Yeah!" Wang Ruirui nodded heavily and finally burst into laughter. Like a little bird, she crawled into Yu Qinghuan's arms and said coquettishly, "Brother Qinghuan, you are so nice."

What a child who is easily satisfied. Yu Qinghuan touched her furry little head, feeling full of pity.

Zhao Rui did not give Yu Qinghuan long to wait. Soon, he handed today's shooting plan to Yu Qinghuan and started shooting one scene after another in a tight schedule.

Yu Qinghuan had a lot of scenes and the filming intensity was extremely high. Seeing how exhausted he looked, the staff beside him felt a little sorry for him, but Zhao Rui was not soft-hearted at all. He continued filming as planned without giving him any room to breathe.

Everyone in the crew was afraid of him, and no one dared to persuade him. Of course, it was useless to persuade him. Except for Wang Ruirui, Zhao Rui always has a sullen face towards everyone.

Wang Ruirui was a very precocious child. She soon realized that although Zhao Rui looked scary, he actually doted on her and basically met all her requests.

Seeing that Yu Qinghuan's face was pale from exhaustion, the little girl pursed her lips, made the excuse that she was a little tired, and timidly asked Zhao Rui if she could rest for a while.

"Okay." Zhao Rui didn't see through her little thoughts. He uttered a word neatly and gave her a stiff smile.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhao." The little girl thanked him politely, and trotted over to Yu Qinghuan, looking up at him with concern: "Brother Qinghuan, are you tired?"

"Not tired." Yu Qinghuan squatted down and looked at her gently, "Our little princess is so considerate."

Wang Ruirui pursed her lips and smiled shyly.

How could her parents have the heart to abandon such a good child!

He thought that he had to be nicer to this child, even if it was only for this short month and a half.

When Zhao Rui said he would take a break, he really meant it. Yu Qinghuan just took a short break and then plunged into the intense filming again.

In "Orange and Yellow", his roles accounted for a full 70% of the total, so in everyone's sympathetic eyes, he became the most miserable person in the entire crew.

After finishing a day's filming, Yu Qinghuan returned to the room which was as cold as an ice cellar. After taking a shower, he threw himself on the bed and prepared to sleep. Who knew, just as I closed my eyes, the phone rang.

He struggled to reach out from under the quilt to grab his phone, "Qing Yuan?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Qingyuan sounded extremely excited, just like a husky that had been locked up for a long time and was finally able to get some fresh air. "Qinghuan! I've finished filming! Are you home? I'll come find you!"

"I just took on a play," Yu Qinghuan sat up, trying not to sound so tired, "I'm on the set now."

"Fuck," Zhao Qingyuan couldn't help but swear, "You're really fast! Where are you filming? I'll go visit the set!"

Yu Qinghuan mentioned a location, and then said, "Don't come. Our conditions here are not very good. We don't even have a place to stay."

Zhao Qingyuan thought he was deliberately not letting him go, and he immediately became unhappy and asked, "Where do you live?"

Yu Qinghuan rubbed his forehead and explained to him, "I'm sleeping in a shack on the construction site right now. It's drafty and cold. Do you want to come?"

He thought Zhao Qingyuan would be scared off, but unexpectedly, he said excitedly, "A shack on a construction site? I've never seen one before! I'm a little curious. You wait! I'll be there tomorrow!"

Yu Qinghuan: “…”

Forget it, just come.

He thought for a moment, then said to Zhao Qingyuan, "Please bring me something when you come." After a moment's thought, he continued, "Buy two pretty hairbands, the cute ones."

After hearing what Yu Qinghuan said, any normal person would think that he was planning to give it to someone else. However, Zhao Qingyuan's brain circuit was different from that of normal people. Upon hearing this, he actually thought that Yu Qinghuan was going to use it himself.

He was silent for a few seconds, then asked again in disbelief: "You want a hairband? A hairband for girls?"

"Hmm." Yu Qinghuan found him a little puzzled. Hairbands are not for girls. Are they for boys? Is it necessary to emphasize it again?

“Okay, okay.” Zhao Qingyuan felt that he really couldn’t understand these gays. Why would they use hairbands for such a good purpose! With mixed feelings, she promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you pick out the most beautiful ones."

After hanging up the phone, he immediately patted his chest and screamed in horror: "Oh my god, I didn't expect Qinghuan to have such a hobby."

The next morning, Zhao Qingyuan got up early, went to the company to take care of some things, and then prepared to buy a hairband for Yu Qinghuan. Unexpectedly, I ran into Huo Rong as soon as I walked out the door.

Huo Rong was talking on the phone, looking very embarrassed, "I'm about to fly abroad, so I don't have time to send San'er off. If he really wants to go find Yu Qinghuan, let the bodyguard take him there. It's okay, Mom, San'er won't get lost..."

Zhao Qingyuan walked over and patted his shoulder. Huo Rong thought he had something wrong, so he covered the microphone and turned to him, "What's wrong, Qingyuan?"

"Your brother is going to look for Qing Huan?"

Seeing Huo Rong nod, Zhao Qingyuan said: "That's a coincidence. I will go to Qing Huan's place later. I will take him with me. This way your family can feel more at ease."

I would feel uneasy if I asked you to take care of it! Huo Rong couldn't help but complain in his heart.

But Zhao Qingyuan had good intentions, so he couldn't refuse, so he could only nod and say, "Okay, then go to my house to pick up San'er. If anything happens, you must call me as soon as possible." He paused, remembering that he might still be on the plane at that time, and added, "You can call Qinghuan, too."

"I know." Zhao Qingyuan smiled proudly, "Don't worry about me doing the job!"

When Zhao Qingyuan brought Huo Qu to the crew, Yu Qinghuan had just finished a shoot and was standing by the wall to recover. When Zhao Qingyuan saw him, his eyes widened: "Oh my god, Qinghuan! How did you become so skinny!"

Yu Qinghuan: “…”

It’s fine to be thin, but what’s the point of looking like a dog!

Zhao Qingyuan's face was very conspicuous, and he had a loud voice. After he shouted like that, everyone in the crew knew that he was here to visit the set. They were all very excited, and some of them were eager to get closer to him. Yu Qinghuan had no choice but to bring the two people to his small shack.

Huo Qu had been silent since the beginning. Yu Qinghuan noticed that he was a little abnormal, so he walked up to him and asked with concern: "What's wrong, Huo Qu? Are you in a bad mood?"

Huo Qu pursed his lips and glanced at Yu Qinghuan, who was so thin that she seemed like she could be blown down by a gust of wind. He was extremely worried. "Qinghuan," he carefully touched Yu Qinghuan's fingers, "Are you sick? Why have you become so thin?"

"No, don't listen to Qing Yuan's nonsense." Yu Qinghuan was afraid that he didn't understand, so she didn't want to explain too much to him, and said vaguely: "This is the effect of makeup. I'm not thin and I'm not sick."

"No, you've lost weight." Huo Qu shook his head, staring at Yu Qinghuan without blinking, and emphasized, "And you've lost a lot of weight."

This guy is getting harder and harder to fool, Yu Qinghuan sighed in his heart, but his face remained calm, "Really not, I..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Huo Qu suddenly bent down.

Yu Qinghuan was wondering what he was going to do, but the next second, he suddenly felt his body lighten, and Huo Qu actually picked him up sideways!

"Yes, I've lost weight. I'm much lighter than last time." Huo Qu felt it and said with certainty.

He lowered his head and looked at Yu Qinghuan with his dark eyes, "Qinghuan, you are lying to me."

For some reason, Yu Qinghuan felt strangely guilty when he looked at her like this.

"Put me down!" He moved his body and gave the command in a tough tone.

"No," Huo Qu refused coldly, "unless you tell me the truth."

Really... Yu Qinghuan held his forehead, thinking about how to explain it to him so that he would understand, when he suddenly realized that something was wrong -

"Wait a minute! You said last time? What do you mean? When did you hug me again?"

The next second, he saw Huo Qu's face slowly turning red.
