Chapter 587 The Real World (4) [VIP]
“…We are gathered here today to celebrate the marriage of two newlyweds and the formation of a new family…”
"...I guess the people sitting in the audience are all the couple's relatives and friends. At this moment, I think everyone is waiting for the bride and groom to appear, just like me..."
"... Next, please welcome the parents of the bride and groom to the stage. The two newlyweds will offer a cup of tea of gratitude to their parents..."
"...Now, please give me a kiss..."
The host's voice suddenly stopped, and the picture remained on the groom approaching the bride.
"Tsk." Bai Jinshu put down the remote control and fell onto the sofa.
He has watched this video four times at triple speed. His manager Lao Wu's cousins look so familiar that he can almost recognize who is the eldest, second, and third. He has almost memorized the host's words, but he still can't see Wu Zongzi in the picture.
This person really disappeared.
Wu Zongzi's disappearance was a foregone conclusion. Bai Jinshu watched the video four times over and over again, not because he didn't believe in it.
"How is it?" Huai Jiamu came over from the bedroom. "Did you find anyone who looks like a member of the exploration team?"
"No," Bai Jinshu let out a long breath and pinched the bridge of his nose. "My eyes hurt from looking at it. I'll take a break for a while."
Wu Zongzi disappeared, along with the relatives who "did farm work" as Old Wu said. Most of the elders and relatives who appeared in the wedding looked kind and friendly. In the background, one could hear the elders chatting about topics such as pensions, their grandchildren going to kindergarten, and traveling to Sanya.
He has become like an ordinary elder.
If only Wu Zongzi disappeared, Bai Jinshu could still suspect that it was his fixed attribute that was at work, but the occupations of Old Wu's family had all changed, so he was more inclined to believe that there was something wrong with the family.
Therefore, these four playbacks were to confirm whether there were any exploration team members from the foundation or other collection organizations at the wedding of Old Cousin Wu.
Now it seems, no.
Huai Jiamu consciously reached out his hand to rub his temples: "Don't look if your eyes hurt. Didn't Old Wu say that his mother asked you to go to her house for dinner? We'll talk about Wu Zongzi's matter tomorrow."
The evil god certainly wasn't very good at giving people massages. He probably learned the technique of massaging the solar plexus from somewhere, and the location of the massage was not quite right.
Fortunately, Bai Jinshu didn't care about these things. His eyes felt a little painful from looking at the screen. He closed his eyes and leaned towards Huai Jiamu, frowning and thinking quietly: "What else can I say about Wu Zongzi?"
"Old Wu has no memory of him, and the Wu family probably has no memory of him either. I inexplicably found Old Wu's mother and asked her if she remembered a nephew named Wu Zongzi. This is too inexplicable. I will watch this screen recording later. The details I asked at that time were still too few. I should have asked Wu Zongzi's parents what the situation was..."
"Then Chao Yougan will talk about it tomorrow," he was interrupted by Huai Jiamu before he finished speaking. Huai Jiamu picked him up from the sofa and said, "Rest first."
Bai Jinshu was just closing his eyes and letting Huai Jiamu poke his head randomly, when he was suddenly picked up and frightened: "If Chao You does anything, I'll send a message to He Qinyue... Wait a minute?"
Huai Jiamu actually stopped talking obediently: "Hmm?"
Bai Jinshu: "...why don't you put me down first?"
In the past, he was the only one who hugged others. This was the first time he was hugged by someone. Before the ambiguous atmosphere had time to build up, the first thought that popped into his mind was that the posture was not right.
Normally, when doing a princess carry, the person holding the person should support the person's waist with one hand and the person's knees with the other hand, and then the person being held should hug the person holding the person's neck, right?
Obviously, this is an interactive action that requires cooperation from both parties.
But now…
Bai Jinshu stretched his limbs silently, feeling like a stranded fish... or a cat that was stretched into a long strip.
This interactive action lacked cooperation from one party, and since he did not have time to cooperate, he was able to be hugged, but he did not have time to hang his hands and upper limbs on Huai Jiamu's neck.
Since he was suspended in the air and had no strength, the only fulcrum he had was the hand at his waist. So even if he realized that his posture was wrong, he couldn't support his upper body. He could only hang on Huai Jiamu's hands like a long cutlass fish that couldn't turn over.
This posture is often used in movies and TV shows... usually when hugging a corpse.
This is the first time I played a corpse being held, and the corpse itself was emotionally stable.
But what happened to Huaijiamu tonight?
She actively massaged me and carried me like a princess. Could it be that she was stimulated by some unknown thing?
Although the active massage is pronounced as massage but actually means poking his head randomly, and the princess hug is pronounced as princess hug but actually means hugging a corpse, but according to his understanding of Huai Jiamu, his sudden behavior must have been due to some kind of stimulation.
Bai Jinshu silently went over what he had said tonight in his mind, and suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched.
Could it be... Could it be that Old Wu asked him if he was planning to get married secretly without telling his fans, and he said he had no plans to get married for the time being?
No way...no way?
Is this something you should still be bothered by?
Just then, the cell phone on the sofa rang twice at the right time.
The phone was thrown on the edge of the sofa. Bai Jinshu could see two messages popping up on the screen by just tilting his head -
He Qinyue: [Ahhh, sorry, Brother Bai, I just saw it! ]
He Qinyue: [Are you going to have an interview tomorrow? Is there something wrong with the IP you invested in? ]
Of course it’s Chao Yougan.
When he sent a message to He Qinyue, Old Wu hadn't left yet. He didn't know what happened that made her not have time to check her phone and reply now.
When she was first connected through Rao Xian and her childhood friend Chao Yougan, Rao Xian said that Chao Yougan had bought the copyright of "Those Who Left Me", but when she said that she also wanted to have a meeting, the person she met was He Qinyue.
It would be too strange to ask He Qinyue or Rao Xian rashly if they remembered a person named Chao Yougan, so he sent a message to He Qinyue on the grounds that there was new progress in IP investment. In this way, he could use this as a topic and use the excuse that he needed other investors to make a decision together to ask questions and determine whether Chao Yougan, who was also one of the investors, still existed.
Of course, there has been no progress in the IP investment situation. It’s just that He Qinyue is an outsider and a rich second-generation who is investing for fun, so it’s easy to fool her.
Make an appointment and find any excuse to ask, and you will soon know whether "Chao Yougan" exists or not.
Bai Jinshu gave up struggling and lay like a corpse in Huai Jiamu's arms. He reached down and tried to pick up the phone from the sofa.
At this moment, the person holding him suddenly loosened the hand that was clasped around his knee.
Bai Jinshu was picked up from the sofa, with the sofa underneath him. His lower limbs were hanging in the air first, so he didn't fall to the ground. However, since the distance was too short, he didn't have time to stand up.
He sank literally into the sofa.
Bai Jinshu: "You..." Why did you suddenly let go?
He was halfway through his words when he suddenly remembered that he was the one who asked him to let go.
If there was anything wrong with Huai Jiamu, it was only that he let go of his hand so suddenly that he couldn't react for a moment.
Bai Jinshu readily changed his words: "You... tell me before you act next time."
"Okay," Huai Jiamu nodded and reported in a calm voice, "I'm going to kiss you."
Bai Jinshu: ...
That’s not what I meant.
"Do we need to wait for approval after reporting before we can kiss?" Huai Jiamu tilted his head.
Bai Jinshu: ...
Well, now he realized that Huai Jiamu remembered his words "not considering secret marriage for the time being" and was secretly expressing his dissatisfaction.
This included poking his head and holding him like a salted fish, all of which were ways of expressing dissatisfaction in a subtle and implicit way.
...I really didn't realize that the evil god has two faces.
And as a popular actor who really has no intention of getting married in secret... at least not so early, otherwise Old Wu might really die in front of him and his fans might also die. Only the paparazzi in this world can make him happy. Facing the dissatisfied evil god, Bai Jinshu reviewed his few experiences of coaxing people, and sadly discovered that the only effective skill he has mastered now is to solve everything with a kiss.
It's urgent to act out some romance drama... or at least ask for some advice from people who have dated before.
As for this time... Bai Jinshu silently hooked his arms around Huai Jiamu's neck, intending to continue using this trick to solve the problem.
The next second, the dissatisfied evil god quickly seized the initiative.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the stars are twinkling and the night breeze is gentle.
The city is like a giant beast lurking under the sky, dozing quietly.
As they sank into the soft sofa one after another, Bai Jinshu finally couldn't find any fulcrum for his upper body. He could only rely on his body's instinct to move to one side in a panic.
It was just that suddenly, he seemed to have bumped into something.
The phone rolled off the sofa and hit the TV remote control. The paused wedding video suddenly continued to play. The host's voice seemed to come from far away. The host's words that I had heard four or five times also took on a strange color at this time.
"Now, please let the groom kiss the bride..."
Huai Jiamu let out a light click of his tongue.
Holding Bai Jinshu's cheek, he kissed her.
*
"So... um..." In the box, the girl's eyes wandered and her voice was erratic, "Brother Bai, you were bitten by a mosquito, right?"
"Yes," Bai Jinshu smiled, "Any questions?"
"No... no, no!" He Qinyue almost raised three fingers to swear, "I'm just asking out of curiosity, haha... just asking out of curiosity..."
Her voice became lower and lower, and finally she closed her eyes. She looked like she wanted to strangle herself to death for blurting out "Brother Bai, is that a hickey on your neck?" a few minutes ago.
I'll let you talk too much! I'll let you talk too much!
Why ask so many questions! Now, the two people opposite did not react at all, and she, the one who asked the question, wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
It is well known that people pretend to be busy when they are embarrassed.
"That... that's the IP we invested in," she quickly changed the subject, rummaging through her bag for a long time, not knowing what to look for. Finally, she took out two lipsticks and turned them in her hand like a pen, "Any questions, Brother Bai?"
"It's not a big problem," Bai Jin said, straightening his collar. "As you all know, when it comes to film and television investment, the casting of actors needs to be unanimously selected by the director and the investors. Although we haven't reached the casting stage yet, several well-known directors in the industry have the habit of refusing investors to insert people. So, while we haven't found a co-director yet, I want to ask if you have any favorite actors, or any recommendations?"
"Brother Bai, why don't you play She Mochu!" He Qinyue blurted out.
"Me?" Bai Jinshu shook his head slightly, "Let the director decide."
Although looking at the entire entertainment industry and even the entire world, perhaps no one understands She Mochu better than him, he is actually not optimistic about the film and television adaptation of this comic.
It is possible to express "indescribable" things with words and pictures by leaving blank spaces or using some weird expressions, but when they actually appear on the big screen, they will lose their mystery. This will put a special test on the aesthetic performance of the director, actors, and everyone in the entire crew.
However, today’s focus is not on how to adapt it into film and television.
"Don't you have any favorite actors?" Bai Jinshu looked up at He Qinyue.
"Of course I like you, Brother Bai, the most!" He Qinyue said as a matter of course, "Why would I chase after a little star when I can ignore such a big movie star? We all like you, Brother Bai!"
Bai Jinshu nodded: "Well...what about other investors? Are there any who want to get in?"
"Other investors..." He Qinyue scratched her head. "I was just about to ask, didn't we invest together with Brother Yue and the others? After watching this exploration, we discussed buying the IP. Why didn't you ask them to come along, Brother Bai, and only asked me to come today?"
really.
Bai Jinshu's eyes flickered slightly.
"Chao Yougan" is also missing.
The author has something to say:
