Chapter 78: Injured “Qiao Zhizheng, Qiao Zhizheng, I have always been...
There are many things in the display cabinet of the private collection, including 12 high-priced artworks, 12 strange stones picked up from the roadside, insect amber collection, and artificial amber that He Fangsi tried to make. He Fangsi took a closer look and found a tiny mosquito living in the artificial amber. There was a small card next to it which read - On xx/xx/20xx, I was reading a book and a mosquito bit me, so I made it into amber according to the content of the book.
He Fangsi tilted his head and felt that 12 was a very interesting person.
Finally, in this private collection, I learned 12's real name - Shi Er - from his first report card with a score of zero.
There was a bright red "0" on the test paper signed by Shi Er.
Shi Er wrote on a card next to it - I'm sick, I used a disappearing pen instead of a gel pen to answer the questions, all the answers were correct, but nothing I wrote disappeared.
When He Fangsi saw this, he couldn't help laughing.
The days at this time must be very exciting.
Rather than calling it a private art gallery, this is more like Shi Er's personal growth gallery. All the things Shi Er has collected since childhood are displayed in display cabinets, with printed or handwritten introductions.
As they walked and stopped along the way, He Fangsi was attracted by a painting that imitated Van Gogh's "Starry Night".
The turbulent blue-green torrent captivates the mind. The curled nebula, the golden full moon, the twisted cypress trees, a painting has a kind of magic. It is obviously static, but after looking at it for a long time, it seems to be flowing. When you stare at it, it may be staring back at you.
He Fangsi learned to paint for a period of time when he was a child, but his painting skills were not good due to his clumsy hands. However, his appreciation for paintings remained and continued to grow as he learned more.
Based on her self-proclaimed superficial knowledge of painting, the painting was based on Van Gogh's original painting with some minor changes made by the owner himself.
It may not be the best in the eyes of others, but it is the best in He Fangsi's heart at this moment.
Layered on top of the melancholy blue are brighter yellow and white.
He Fangsi walked to the front of the painting and subconsciously followed the trajectory of the nebula from the beginning to the end. He found something wrong with the color at the end of the stroke. He moved a bench for tourists to rest not far away and stood on it to look at the stroke. Only from such a close distance could he see that a small coordinate was lightly outlined here with different colors.
"You hid it so deeply, didn't you intend for anyone to find it?"
If he hadn't been drawn to the painting, if He Fangsi hadn't happened to have learned a little about painting and noticed the difference, if there hadn't been a stool nearby... Hmm? Just right?
I’m afraid not.
Maybe the stool is meant for people who just happen to know a little about painting and are attracted to it?
Sometimes, he is also critical of the people who come to watch.

"Click, pass——"
Chen Yuzhi looked at Qiao Zhizheng, her eyes full of pride, and patted her shoulder, "I knew my judgment was right."
Qiao Zhizheng responded with a smile, "Are there any more shoots to do?"
"No."
"I'll treat you to dinner."
"You are bribing the director, do you know that?"
Qiao Zhizheng smiled and hit back at her "slander", "Does our Director Shen still have money to eat a big meal now?"
Chen Yuzhi said with a forced smile, "Since you already know everything, why are you still asking?"
Qiao Zhizheng blinked with a mischievous look, "Of course it's because seeing you unhappy makes me happy."
"Tsk~" Chen Yuzhi expressed her disdain for her bad friend, but she was not polite about spending her bad friend's money on a big meal.
Since she invested all her fortune in this movie, the money she has is only enough for her to have a "big meal" - braised beef, stewed chicken with mushrooms, pickled pepper beef, Sichuan pepper beef, pickled pepper beef and seafood noodles, with a variety of flavors and no repetition.
Take instant noodles, for example. I haven't eaten them for a long time. Occasionally, I feel fresh and the taste is good, but if I eat instant noodles every day at home for a long time, even if I change the taste, it's still instant noodles.
Chen Yuzhi felt her stomach comforted only when she was eating a box lunch on the set one day.
It is so sad that anyone who hears it will cry.
When Qiao Zhizheng found out about this, she was shocked. She saw Chen Yuzhi approving money when the crew needed money for the movie, but being stingy with herself. In her own words, every penny saved is a penny earned, for fear of unexpected emergencies, so money must be spent wisely. Qiao Zhizheng sighed, and from then on she always invited Chen Yuzhi to dinner for various reasons.
Chen Yuzhi sat opposite him, eating with a look of satisfaction on her face. She looked so happy that she wanted to cry, but she was completely unaware of it.
When Qiao Zhizheng saw Chen Yuzhi like this, her expression wrinkled. Tsk~it seems that this makes her look even more pitiful.
Chen Yuzhi subconsciously urged Qiao Zhizheng, "Eat quickly, the food here is quite delicious."
Qiao Zhizheng barely touched her chopsticks. In order to look good on camera, Qiao Zhizheng usually maintains her figure according to the film's requirements during filming.
Qiao Zhizheng showed a loving smile, "I'm full, you eat, eat more, don't waste it~"
Chen Yuzhi lowered her head and enjoyed her meal, so naturally she didn't see the expression on Qiao Zhizheng's face.
Looking at the screen in front of Qiao Zhizheng, Qiao Zheng understood clearly, thinking, isn't this the same expression Qiao Zhizheng makes when she looks at Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao every time we feed them?
Qiao Zheng saw through it but didn't say anything. She just asked about the filming progress on Qiao Zhizheng's side.
"Everything went well. How about you? You look quite tanned."
Qiao Zheng subconsciously wanted to report the good news but not the bad news, but when the words came to her lips, she stopped and changed to reporting both the good and the bad news.
"I'm a little tired, but the director is very attentive, and I'm very happy."
Qiao Zhizheng's interpretation: "Strive for excellence."
Qiao Zheng nodded. "That's right. Lin Yiwei's films have always been about both quality and quantity. It's okay to be a little strict."
Qiao Zheng started to enter the entertainment industry and started filming at the age of 18. At the beginning, it was definitely because of her love for acting, but a bigger part of the reason was to make money to pay off debts. Since the debts were paid off, Qiao Zheng took on the roles she took on mainly because she wanted to act and wanted to interpret the role.
As long as the role is outstanding, the director and investors are reliable, and stable output can be guaranteed, Qiao Zheng doesn't care whether the role is big or small.
She can play the heroine throughout the entire movie, and she can also play the tragic supporting role that only appears for one or two minutes in the film. Qiao Zheng has dabbled in public welfare short films, TV dramas, dramas, and stage plays. In the later period, she no longer acted for the sake of making money, but acted for the sake of acting.
For example, Jiang Ci in "The Lonely Boat" is not only because of Qiao Zhizheng's dilemma, but also because Qiao Zheng herself resonates with this role. She plays it just because she wants to.
Perhaps it was the influence of the role on the actor himself, there was a hint of coldness and murderousness between Qiao Zheng's eyebrows. Qiao Zhizheng gritted his teeth excitedly, glanced at Chen Yuzhi who was eating happily opposite him, picked up his mobile phone and typed - after the filming, remember to bring back the costumes.
Qiao Zhizheng had seen Qiao Zheng's final makeup photo, in which she was dressed in a smart black suit. Qiao Zhizheng looked to the right, where there was a mirror reflecting half of Qiao Zheng's figure. Qiao Zheng in the mirror was looking at Qiao Zheng outside the mirror. Qiao Zheng was holding a long sword half as high as her waist in her left hand.
She is so cold that one wants to warm her up.
Qiao Zheng raised an eyebrow, glanced at Qiao Zhizheng, and said, "Okay."
When Chen Yuzhi heard Qiao Zheng's nonchalant "good," she asked curiously, "Did Lin Yiwei praise her acting?"
"Ah...that's it."
Qiao Zhizheng turned the screen and greeted Chen Yuzhi.
Chen Yuzhi wiped her mouth with a tissue and asked Qiao Zheng, "How was the fight scene going? Even though you had a stunt double, you had to do a lot of the moves yourself, right? Did you get any bumps or injuries?"
Qiao Zhizheng had no experience filming martial arts dramas, so after hearing what the experienced Chen Yuzhi said, she quickly turned the screen towards herself and asked Qiao Zheng, "How are you? Are you injured anywhere?"
Qiao Zheng hesitated for a moment. "It's a little scratched, but nothing serious. It's almost healed."
Qiao Zhizheng stared at her with a sharp gaze and said seriously, "Let me see."
Qiao Zheng was stunned by Qiao Zhizheng's aura at the moment. Knowing she was in the wrong, she stepped back a little, rolled up her trouser legs to reveal her calf with a slight bruise, and said, "Look, it's almost healed."
"Qiao Zheng, why didn't you tell me? Is it like last time? You didn't tell me unless I asked, and you kept me in the dark about everything."
Seeing a trace of grievance on Qiao Zhizheng's face, Qiao Zheng laughed dryly and lowered his trouser legs. "I just think it's just a minor injury, so there's no need to talk about it."
Qiao Zheng rarely shows weakness to others. The only time she did so in her life was in front of Qiao Zhizheng. If Qiao Zhizheng hadn't asked about this minor injury, it would probably have healed by the time she saw her next time. Qiao Zheng... felt very embarrassed, and there was no need to speak up.
It's probably like a socially anxious person who falls into a completely unfamiliar environment, surrounded by strangers, gets lost, and wants to ask for directions, but when the words are on the tip of his tongue, a sticky thing like rice cake blocks his mouth. He wants to speak, but he can't break through his psychological defenses.
Although the circumstances were different, the mood at that moment was the same.
Qiao Zhizheng said to Qiao Zheng seriously, "Qiao Zheng, can you learn to rely on me? You think this is a minor injury and unnecessary, but I think it is very necessary."
Seeing Qiao Zheng still looking nonchalant, Qiao Zhizheng lowered her eyes and continued, "Then suppose it were me. I was injured and my leg hurt so much I couldn't walk. But before you come back next time, the injury would heal. During the injury, I would have difficulty moving and living, and I would be very unhappy. What would you think if you knew that?"
Qiao Zheng's expression slowly changed as she spoke.
Qiao Zheng remained silent. Qiao Zhizheng continued, "A scrape is considered a minor injury, but then a cut on the arm is also a minor injury, isn't it? What about a broken bone? Aren't all of the above considered minor injuries before a major life-threatening accident?"
Qiao Zheng felt that Qiao Zhizheng was being unreasonable, but she was strangely convinced by her - Qiao Zhizheng knew best how to persuade Qiao Zheng. She used herself as an example and made a dangerous assumption, letting Qiao Zheng experience her feelings.
It was rare for Qiao Zheng to look so aggrieved in front of Qiao Zhizheng, and even her aura subsided. "Okay, I'll definitely tell you next time. No matter if the injury is serious or minor, I'll tell you."
"What is the lower limit for minor injuries?"
"A broken finger?"
Qiao Zhizheng nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, it's settled."
Qiao Zheng realized belatedly that she had fallen into George's trap, but so what? Qiao Zheng was willing to do it.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Zhizheng didn't hear any movement from the other end. She looked up and found Chen Yuzhi with an expression as if she had seen a ghost.
"Qiao Zhizheng, Qiao Zhizheng, I always thought you were the one being taken care of in your relationship. I never thought you could actually take advantage of me."
In any case, in Chen Yuzhi's opinion, Qiao Zheng doesn't look like the kind of person who can be manipulated by others.
"Tsk tsk tsk~ As expected~ Love is something that changes everyone who gets involved."
-----------------------
The author has something to say: When Sister Qiao and Sister Qiao were on the phone, Chen Yuzhi on the other end said: Hello~ (waves) When you two are flirting, do you remember that there's a Peony watching your love? Hello~ (waves) Can't you really see me? You're flirting like that without anyone else, you really don't treat me like an outsider. No! You're simply not treating me like a human being, really... Can't you see me at all? Hello~ (waves) (waves again) (waves x3)
