Upon hearing this, Cen Yu glanced at Yu Jinheng.
The original novel didn't describe Yu Jinheng very well, only mentioning that he wasn't in good health. But judging from his appearance and Yu Jinheng's calm narration, Cen Yu got the feeling that he was about to die.
Yu Jinheng seemed to notice his gaze and turned his head to look at him. "Is something the matter?"
Cen Yu frowned, feeling that given his relationship with Yu Jinheng, it was inappropriate to ask too many questions.
So he turned his head, looked down at the sand under his feet, stomped his toes a few times, and then said, "It's okay."
As he spoke, he moved away from Yu Jinheng and went to the BBQ grill... Jian Zhou and his good friend happened to come over to exchange ingredients with Sang Qianshan.
The two nodded when they saw Cen Yu.
Sang Qianshan didn't like Yu Jinheng, so he naturally saw Cen Yu go to find Yu Jinheng just now. While brushing sauce on the grilled meat, he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Did you go and bring him food?"
“I’m worried he’ll starve to death,” Cen Yu said.
He noticed that Pei Zhe was carrying a paper plate and hadn't eaten much. "Are you controlling your diet?"
Pei Zhe seemed surprised that Cen Yu would speak to him. Although he felt that there was a small misunderstanding between him and Cen Yu, he also knew that the other party did not like him that much. In addition, since Cen Yu was a good friend of Sang Qianshan, it was more of a matter of "different positions" between them.
He took a bite of the skewers of mushrooms and broccoli that Sang Qianshan had just grilled and mumbled, "I need to join the crew."
Upon hearing this, Jian Zhou immediately became interested. He looked at Pei Zhe, seemingly hesitant to ask anything because he was on live stream.
Cen Yu didn't understand at first. He subconsciously looked at his only connection in the entertainment industry. The connection glanced at him and then took the opportunity to beckon to Cen Yu.
Cen Yu leaned closer.
"...There's news that they're casting for the male supporting role in Pei Zhe's film, and Jian Zhou should have gone for an audition," Sang Qianshan said softly.
Since this matter hasn't been officially announced yet, it's natural that other people in the live stream shouldn't know about it.
Cen Yu glanced at Jian Zhou and finally understood why the other was looking at Pei Zhe with such anticipation.
His good friend seemed to know about this too, but at the moment he was helping Sang Qianshan with the barbecue.
At this time, the entire beach was occupied by the production crew. Lights and equipment were specially set up on the beach. It's unclear how the production crew communicated beforehand, or if this was because it was a private beach, but no tourists were seen.
Cen Yu chewed on the grilled meat in his mouth, feeling a bit bored, and wanted to find an excuse to go back and lie down.
Pei Zhe put down the paper plate he was holding and said he had to excuse himself for a moment to go back to the villa to get something.
Everything happened in an instant.
Pei Zhe, wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, was about to walk back to the villa on the sand when he suddenly felt that something was missing from the clothes he had placed aside.
At first, he thought he had misremembered.
He subconsciously looked at Yu Jinheng sitting next to him, wanting to ask if the other person had noticed that someone had been here.
But Yu Jinheng had only been there a short time.
Because the production team needed to set up the lighting and prepare some barbecue supplies, things were a bit chaotic when the guests arrived at the beach.
Pei Zhe's clothes were placed on a beach chair nearby, and Pei Zhe's assistant happened to go out at that moment to make a phone call to his manager...
Could I have remembered it wrong?
Pei Zhe checked his pockets and finally decided to go to the villa first.
Cen Yu, holding a plastic fork, idly chewed on the roasted meat in his mouth. He noticed that Pei Zhe paused for a moment, seemingly looking for something, but then lowered his hand and looked about to return to the villa.
He turned his gaze away, but noticed that one of the staff members in the crowd was dressed rather strangely.
Although it was evening and the sea breeze was a bit cool, it wasn't cold enough to wear a hoodie. Even someone like Yu Jinheng, whose health wasn't great, was wearing his cardigan open.
The person was wearing a hoodie and a baseball cap.
Furthermore, Cen Yu noticed that the other person's gaze was constantly following Pei Zhe, who was standing to the side.
fan?
Cen Yu thought this subconsciously.
Because the man was standing right behind the lamp, and it was already dark, if Cen Yu hadn't happened to see him, probably no one would have noticed this man standing there quietly.
Pei Zhe was also about to head towards the villa.
He walked around the camera lens, about to pass through the shadow next to the headlight... Cen Yu suddenly sensed something was wrong.
He remembered what Pei Zhe had said about crazy fans that day.
Just then, the person who had been keeping his hands in the front pocket of the hoodie suddenly pulled something out. Upon closer inspection, Cen Yu realized it was a bottle!
Damn! Something's not right!
The idea suddenly popped into Cen Yu's head!
He acted faster than he thought, just as Pei Zhe was about to reach the edge and the man was about to rush out.
He rushed forward, grabbed Pei Zhe's arm, and pulled him backward forcefully. Then, with a side kick, he sent the bottle that was about to be opened flying far away. Before the man could react, he was gone.
She instantly grabbed the man's hat and shoved him to the ground.
He was practically straddling the man's chest, his knees pressed against his ribcage, and the plastic fork in his hand pointed directly at the man's eyes—
What are you doing?
Almost everyone was stunned by this unexpected turn of events.
No one expected Cen Yu to suddenly make a move.
Even Pei Zhe didn't expect someone to suddenly jump out from behind the headlights!
Because the lights used by the production crew were too bright at night, he experienced a moment of discomfort and blindness when he first stepped into the dark.
It wasn't until Cen Yu grabbed his arm and pulled him aside that he stumbled a few steps before he realized what was happening.
The man, pressed against Cen Yu's chest by his weight and slammed to the ground, instinctively struggled and coughed a few times.
Cen Yu, with the fork still pointed at his eyeball, said directly to the production crew—
"Look what's in his bottle!"
It wasn't until this moment that everyone seemed to wake up from the changes that had occurred in less than a few dozen seconds, and someone immediately screamed and went to look at the bottle.
And then the production crew and other people came up and held down the man wearing a hoodie.
Sang Qianshan immediately came to Cen Yu's side after he made his move, his face dark as he looked at the man Cen Yu had subdued.
"Where did this guy come from?!"
The production crew was busy turning off the live stream cameras; they simply didn't have the energy to think about what kind of turmoil this might cause.
Someone rushed up and pinned the man who was being held down by Cen Yu.
Seeing that the man had been caught, Cen Yu stood up from the ground. His knees were scraped and bleeding from the friction, and there was some sand on them.
He casually waved the sand away.
Then Pei Zhe, who was already surrounded by his assistants—
"Big star, you owe me a favor."
As he spoke, he gestured with his chin toward Pei Zhe.
