Chapter 60 Childhood Knot
The filming officially began. Xu Kaiming was dressed in a butler's uniform. He had broad shoulders and long legs, and was known as the school idol for many years in private school. Coupled with the makeup and hair done by the artist's styling team, he really had an indescribable temperament when he walked out of the door.
He looked around and said the line: "Welcome to the Earl's Rose Villa, I am the housekeeper..."
Chen Duo watched everyone's performance in front of the camera with the director and producer.
Then I heard the director say, "This little actor is good. He's good-looking and not stage-frightened. You can sign him."
The person in charge then glanced at Chen Duo and whispered something to the director. The director sighed with regret.
After saying this, the butler can leave. Then everyone will divide into groups and look for clues in the villa to finally solve the secret.
Chen Duo watched for a while and realized the broadcast was still a mess. Recorded live with no sound effects, no post-production, it was really boring to watch a bunch of people busying around. The only good thing about it was probably Gu Yanqiu's looks.
Chen Duo stared at it for a while, and then Xu Kaiming entered the studio, holding Chen Duo's hand. His eyes blinked, as if begging for praise.
Chen Duo said, "Not bad."
Xu Kaiming immediately laughed. The person in charge looked at them and said sympathetically, "Live recording is very boring. Why don't you find a place to wait for a while? When the recording is over, I'll ask Gu Yanqiu to come up and take a photo with you."
"Okay." Xu Kaiming took Chen Duo to a room upstairs that was not open to the crew.
Because this is Xu Kaiming's room.
"It's been a while," he said as he locked the door. But as soon as he did, something felt wrong. The whole room rattled. He immediately tried the lock again, but it didn't budge.
"Damn..." Xu Kaiming was dumbfounded. He guessed that the lock had not been used for a long time and was broken by his doing so.
Xu Kaiming didn't expect it to be like this. He tried it a few times, but it didn't move.
Then Chen Duo said, "They're filming outside. After it's over, ask the housekeeper to find someone to fix it." There are people everywhere outside now. If they ask someone to fix it in a high-profile manner, it will make too much noise and affect their filming.
Xu Kaiming said speechlessly: "This is the only way."
Fortunately, this room has always been kept clean and tidy. It has a bathroom, a toilet, and everything you need for life. It won't be too boring to stay here for just a few hours.
This was Chen Duo's first time in his villa: "When did you buy it?"
"I didn't buy it. My second uncle gave it to me." Xu Kaiming said, "I lived here for a while when I was a child." After saying that, he casually opened the drawer, took a look at the things inside, and closed it immediately, but his movement was so swift that it seemed very abrupt.
"What's wrong?" Chen Duo said.
"Nothing... nothing." His guilty eyes kept wandering around. But he stood in front of the desk, refusing to budge an inch.
"Let me take a look." Chen Duo became suspicious.
Xu Kaiming stood there, motionless.
Chen Duo looked at him, neither of them moved, and finally Xu Kaiming was defeated. He made room at the desk and opened the drawer, revealing a scratched-leather notebook.
Chen Duo's eyes softened immediately.
It was a birthday present I gave to him when he was a child.
Xu Kaiming hummed. Chen Duo turned a page and said to Xu Kaiming, "Do you still write in your diary?"
It was too late for Xu Kaiming to stop it, because the first line inside read: "Chen Duo, I hate you!" The handwriting was childish, with large patches of water stains. It looked like it was written in great sorrow, and many small tears had dripped down.
Chen Duo looked at Xu Kaiming.
Xu Kaiming was completely annoyed. Even though they played together a lot when they were little, they always had arguments.
Then Chen Duo continued to read. The fragmented writing in Xu Kaiming's diary when he was young really reminded Chen Duo of an event from his childhood.
At that time, Chen Duo gave a toy motorcycle to the neighbor's little brother, but Xu Kaiming turned around and left after seeing it.
At first Chen Duo didn't think much of it, but he actually moved out without saying a word and was gone for a whole semester.
Just looking at this diary now, you can tell how angry he was: "Why are you so angry?" Chen Duo asked him.
Xu Kaiming lowered his head and said nothing. Seeing this, Chen Duo was about to continue flipping through the diary, wanting to see how many bad things her childhood sweetheart had said about her without her knowing.
Just as he was about to continue flipping through the pages, Xu Kaiming said sheepishly, "My birthday was almost here at that time. A toy car suddenly appeared at your house, and I naturally thought it was a birthday present you prepared for me. I was secretly happy for several days, but who knew you gave it to someone else?"
Chen Duo said, "It was originally a gift for you, but then I heard there was a more advanced toy car overseas. So I begged my dad to buy it. I didn't like this one anymore, so I gave it to someone else. But when the car came back, you were gone..."
"Huh?" This was the first time Xu Kaiming had heard about his childhood. Thinking back to the countless days and nights he'd spent crying until his pillow was soaked, he felt a surge of guilt. Later, unable to bear the separation from Chen Duo, he transferred back to another school, pretending nothing had happened.
Chen Duo never mentioned it either.
It was not until today when he took out this diary that he realized that what happened back then was not what he had imagined.
The grievances he had felt as a child were resolved by the grown-up Chen Duo, and now he felt a lot of guilt in his heart: "I'm sorry."
Chen Duo touched his hair and said nothing.
He approached Chen Duo, initially intending to get closer to her, but she didn't hide. As the distance between the two of them got closer, he actually had another wishful thinking.
I just felt that the other person's lips were pink and looked very kissable. It would be nice if he could touch them.
Just thinking about it makes my heart feel like it’s being burned.
Now that the dream was right before his eyes, he was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead.
The lips are so close, just one touch.
He made up his mind and leaned over to touch the other person's lips lightly, then left quickly. The flash was so fast, as if he had swallowed a treasure whole without being able to taste it at all.
But my cheeks felt like they were burning and my heart was beating strongly.
He wanted to see if Chen Duo was as nervous as he was, but he didn't dare to look.
Chen Duo's cheeks were also slightly hot, but when she glanced at Xu Kaiming, he looked as if he had been cooked. His cheeks were red. Chen Duo couldn't help laughing.
She hadn't said anything yet, but Xu Kaiming was already so nervous. If she said anything, he would jump off the villa, which was on the third floor.
People are really busy when they are nervous. Chen Duo flipped open Xu Kaiming's childhood diary and saw the words on the second page: "You treated me like this, I will make you regret it. If I die, will you miss me?" Chen Duo read it aloud.
Chen Duo laughed out loud: "Were you so cute when you were a child?"
When Chen Duo started talking, Xu Kaiming pricked up his ears to listen, and then he heard the idioms he had written as a child being read out. Xu Kaiming was annoyed.
He looked at Chen Duo stiffly. He finally kissed the girl he had always liked, but she was still messing with his childhood diary.
There has never been such a shameful moment. Some people are alive, but they have been dead for a while...
