Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Misunderstanding
Zhou Boye chuckled and bent down according to his desire.
Jiang Yuxia was woken up by a kiss. The feeling of suffocation made his already unclear mind even more fuzzy. After he opened his eyes and saw the person clearly, he reached out and hooked his hands around the other's neck without hesitation, responding to his kiss.
This action made Zhou Boye take a deep breath. He clasped his hand, pulled him up while kissing him, then hugged him and made him sit face to face on his lap, deepening the kiss again.
Slowly, the kiss began to deteriorate. Zhou Boye's lips moved down along his neck, his hands tightly clasped his waist, and he wanted to hold him in his arms.
"You, huh—"
Jiang Yuxia wanted to speak, but her voice came out in a garbled mess. She took a deep breath and spoke incoherently, "When did you come back?"
Zhou Boye pressed his lips against his skin and whispered, "Just got home."
As he spoke, his warm breath touched his skin. The slightly itchy feeling made Jiang Yuxia purse her lips and rest her head weakly on Zhou Boye's shoulder.
"Are you hungry?" Zhou Boye asked him.
Jiang Yuxia sat on his lap, and he could clearly feel his reaction, and his face suddenly turned red.
After a moment of hesitation, she shook her head and answered his previous question.
He swallowed, looked at Zhou Boye without saying a word, and extended his hand first.
…
Uncle Zheng looked at the cold food on the table, waited and waited, and finally asked someone to warm up the food.
After a long time, the two finally arrived. Uncle Zheng caught a glimpse of the faint mark on Jiang Yuxia's neck. He looked away and said, "The meal is ready."
Zhou Boye served Jiang Yuxia a bowl of soup and handed it to him. Jiang Yuxia frowned as he looked at the soup. There were medicinal herbs in the soup, and he didn't like the medicinal smell.
Seeing his displeasure, Zhou Boye spoke before him: "Just drink one bowl, and I won't let the kitchen cook anymore."
Jiang Yuxia blushed, feeling that Zhou Boye's tone was like coaxing a child, and drank the soup in two or three mouthfuls.
During the meal, the two talked most about Zhou Boye advising him to eat more, and they did not talk about today's audition at all.
It wasn't until they were in the garden rocking chairs enjoying the cool breeze and digesting their food that Jiang Yuxia took the initiative to say, "I'm probably going to fail today's audition."
He leaned lazily on Zhou Boye, with a little emotion in his tone that he himself was not aware of.
Zhou Boye: "Do you need me to comfort you?"
Jiang Yuxia shook her head. "It's just an audition, and the result is just my guess. Come and comfort me when they really reject me."
Zhou Boye reached out and embraced the other person. A gentle breeze blew past him, and the familiar scent of bathing made the fatigue in his body instantly disappear. His voice became softer, "Then I hope there will be no such opportunity."
Jiang Yuxia blinked, turned her head to look at him, and placed her fingers on the dark circles under his eyes. "You've been leaving early and coming back late lately. Is there something wrong with the company?"
Jiang Yuxia rarely asked about company matters; he didn't understand the business and couldn't help. However, Zhou Boye's visible fatigue these past few days made him a little worried.
Zhou Boye reached out and hugged the man tighter, letting out a comfortable sigh and saying, "It's nothing serious. I'm just playing games with a bunch of old guys."
Jiang Yuxia hummed in confusion, and Zhou Boye began to talk to him bit by bit, trying to use language he could understand.
"So now, those people you dismissed are trying to acquire shares to gain control of the company?"
Zhou Boye: "It's impossible to accomplish this simply by purchasing individual tickets, so I suspect they have someone behind them. There have been some problems with the projects recently, and I suspect they're trying to create a funding gap."
Jiang Yuxia seemed to understand, "Funding gap?"
"Well, induce me to raise funds, thereby diluting my equity, and then let a third party enter the market later. Tsk, really good." Zhou Boye's lips curled up slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled crazily. "I haven't played like this in a long time."
Jiang Yuxia: "..."
Zhou Boye reached out and smoothed down Pingjiang and Xia Wei's frowning brows, saying with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm actually quite capable."
"Um."
He had never doubted Zhou Boye's ability. He needed no proof that he could single-handedly take charge of the entire group right after graduating from university and overpower all those with ulterior motives.
The wind made the hanging lights in the garden sway slightly, and the red roses that were about to wither burned their last vitality, and the fragrance of the flowers gradually filled the nose.
The two of them lay in this fiery red magnificence. Zhou Boye seemed to hear Jiang Yuxia's voice faintly, "Aye is the best."
…
The next day, Jiang Yuxia sat up from the bed in a daze. He had fallen asleep in the rose garden yesterday and didn't know how he got back.
Looking to the side, Zhou Boye was indeed gone.
He stretched and got up from the bed, thinking that he couldn't stay idle like this any longer. If he couldn't pass this audition, he would go to the next one. He also wanted to join the crew to film.
Just when I was thinking about talking to Sun Qun about this, I didn't expect Sun Qun to call me first.
"Little Ancestor! I have great news for you!"
The piercing sound almost burst his eardrums, and Jiang Yuxia quickly moved the phone away.
The thing that made Sun Quan so happy was probably that he had passed the audition, right?
He still pretended not to know and asked, "What good news?"
Sun Quan was not polite either, "Don't play dumb, what other good news could make me so excited right now?"
Jiang Yuxia: "I auditioned?"
"That's right~" Sun Quan's tone rose as he pretended to be mysterious, "There's even better news, you definitely don't know."
Jiang Yuxia paused, his eyes slightly curved, he probably guessed it.
Before he could ask, Sun Quan couldn't help but laugh and said, "The role you auditioned for wasn't Wei Zhedong, it was Lü Xiang. Director Li's male lead!"
"Jiang Xiaoxia! You really gave me a big surprise!"
Jiang Yuxia tightened his grip on the phone and said "hmm".
Sun Quan took a cigarette and held it in his mouth. He couldn't smoke outside now, so he could only chew it to satisfy his craving. Because of chewing the cigarette, his speech became a little unclear. "You are too calm, aren't you? Compared to you, it's like I tried it. It's really true that the emperor is too anxious to die..."
Realizing that something was wrong, he quickly let out a "Pooh" sound, and the cigarette fell to the ground. He squatted down to pick up the cigarette and casually clamped it between his ears, "I almost cursed myself."
Jiang Yuxia laughed when he heard the noise from his side, "Brother Sun, thank you."
"Why should you thank me? I have more than just you. They also auditioned, but you are the only one who got the role." Sun Quan said honestly.
"Also, didn't you say yesterday that you didn't get the job? So I asked around for information today. Can you guess why I didn't give you the news on the spot?"
Jiang Yuxia: "Are you asking about the selection?"
The passage he chose might be a little too restrained.
Sun Quan said calmly, "I guess you're talking about this. It's not about this problem, but because of your face. I've said before that directors will look at the suitability of the role. There's a slight difference in your image compared to Lu Xiang."
The original text describes Lu Xiang like this: His pointed face can barely hold two pounds of flesh, he is tall and thin like a bamboo standing in a valley, he is not very handsome, but he has a unique charm when he smiles.
Jiang Yuxia has nothing to do with the words "not very handsome". When he is in the same frame with others, he looks like someone from another level.
Sun Quan: "They discussed it for a long time, and you were definitely going to be passed over, but coincidentally, your temperament was very similar to Lu Xiang's, so they chose you in the end."
"Before calling you, I had a few words with the director over there. They made a few requests..." Sun Quan hesitated and said, "One, lose weight, and two, join the crew a month early."
Although Jiang Yuxia is already very thin, he is not as skinny as Lu Xiang. However, what effect will it have on his body if he loses weight? It depends on what the doctor says.
And is Zhou Boye really willing to do so?
Sun Quan sighed. These were all problems that were obvious to him.
Jiang Yuxia answered him without much thought, "Okay."
Sun Quan: "...Don't agree so quickly. I don't dare to say yes to the director either. Let's see how things go first. Can you discuss this with him?"
Jiang Yuxia agreed. He didn't think it was a big deal, after all, it was just about losing weight.
However, he still underestimated how much Zhou Boye valued his health.
After finishing the call with Sun Qun, Jiang Yuxia immediately sent a message to Zhou Boye. She originally thought that he was busy, but unexpectedly, he replied in just a few minutes.
It is a cat head holding the words "You are the best".
Jiang Yuxia burst out laughing, looking so cute that she didn't look like Zhou Boye.
Zhou Boye soon received an emoticon package as well. It showed a puppy wagging its tail proudly. Jiang Yuxia's proud smiles automatically came to his mind. A smile appeared in his eyes. He couldn't help but take a screenshot. After taking the screenshot, he continued to work.
It wasn't until around seven in the afternoon that Zhou Boye glanced at the pile of documents on his desk, sighed slightly, and sent a message to Jiang Yuxia, "Sorry, I have a lot of work today, so I can't be home to have dinner with you. You don't have to eat the herbal food, but eat more of the other things."
Jiang Yuxia was curled up on the sofa, holding the original copy of "Summer Fantasy" at hand. The once brand new book was now covered with small sticky notes. Seeing Zhou Boye's message, he frowned slightly and typed, "Shall I bring you food?"
[No, it's not safe at night. Wei Zhuo has already bought food.]
Jiang Yuxia turned off his cell phone, looked up and told Uncle Zheng that he would not be coming back for dinner.
Uncle Zheng: "Is Mr. Jiang having dinner now?"
Jiang Yuxia hummed, then suddenly said, "Uncle Zheng, I need to lose weight for filming. Can you help me replace my meals with vegetables and chicken breast?"
Uncle Zheng paused, glanced at Jiang and Xia's bony wrists, and asked, "Just these two?"
Jiang Yuxia: "Yeah."
When the meal was served, the astonishing amount of meat and vegetables immediately took Jiang and Xia's breath away for three seconds.
He looked up and made eye contact with Uncle Zheng, who calmly asked, "Today's steaks are very fresh, perhaps you would like some?"
Jiang Yuxia shook his head and picked up some meat and vegetables from the plate. Uncle Zheng looked at the fist-sized food with a look of pity in his eyes. He, who was usually a man of few words, said, "Mr. Jiang, please forgive me for being blunt, but you are already thin enough."
If he gets any thinner, a gust of wind might blow him away. When he gets older, he won't be able to bear to see children suffer like this.
Jiang Yuxia glanced at the way Uncle Zheng looked at him, as if he had suffered some great punishment. The look was too intense, and he swallowed hard, frowned, and asked tentatively, "How about... I have another small piece of steak?"
"Yeah." Uncle Zheng's expression suddenly changed.
First day of weight loss, failed.
