Chapter 53
Reincarnation?
Su Xuan was confused for a moment, but then he realized what was going on and asked in surprise, "Do you think he has something to do with the memory you lost?"
Zong Ning quickly replied: "Yeah."
Su Xuan didn't expect that Zong Ning would encounter such a special situation when he went to film a scene.
Zong Ning told him that he wanted him to help investigate Ye Yun.
It wasn't a very fair thing to investigate someone behind their back, but Zong Ning's situation was special after all. After hesitating for a moment, Su Xuan agreed to try to investigate.
His connections in the entertainment industry are not that wide. Although he knows Yuan Que, Yuan Que is his father's boyfriend. If he asks Yuan Que to help investigate, this matter will definitely reach his father's ears.
And Zong Ning didn't want more people to know about his troubles for the time being - according to him, if his father and the others knew that he had lost his memory and his spiritual power had been greatly reduced, they would definitely come to care about him and make a big fuss.
How could Su Xuan not understand? Zong Ning was just weird.
But since he couldn't use Yuan Que's relationship, Su Xuan could only collect Ye Yun's information step by step.
So Su Xuan spent a month to summarize the situation of Ye Yun.
Ye Yun, 26 years old this year, graduated from an ordinary university. After graduation, he went to a film and television studio to work as an extra with the dream of becoming an actor. Later, because he had practiced martial arts since childhood, he was chosen by a crew to be a stuntman, and then he began his career as a stuntman.
These are the information that Zong Ning can easily get from Ye Yun, the little white rabbit.
But there are still many things that are not convenient to ask directly.
For example, Ye Yun’s family background.
His parents died when he was young, and he was raised by his grandparents. Just as he was admitted to university, his grandparents also passed away.
No relatives were willing to take care of him anymore, and he was already eighteen years old. Ye Yun was very decisive and just started living alone.
I went to school during the day and worked at night, living a very frugal life. When I was the poorest, I only had one piece of bread a day. When I was sick, I had to endure it. It was very difficult.
After entering the entertainment industry, he was also harassed because of his beautiful and attractive face.
"As long as you are willing to be kept, you will become famous" - this is just the kind of temptation.
Ye Yun naturally refused. Not only that, he even beat up the other party in the street because of his continuous harassment, which caused an uproar at the time - sexual harassment happens every day in the entertainment industry, but Ye Yun is the only one who dares to beat up a disgusting man in the street.
Brave.
So, Ye Yun even became the "big boss" in the eyes of the extras in the film and television city. Everyone who saw him would jokingly call him "Brother Ye", which made Ye Yun very embarrassed.
Fortunately, the wretched man was not actually a powerful figure. His promise to make Ye Yun famous was just empty talk. So after being beaten by Ye Yun, the man was so angry that he just said a few harsh words and never dared to get close to Ye Yun again.
But to say that beating that guy up had no effect at all is also a lie.
The incident did spread within a certain circle. People talked about it as a joke, but who would dare to easily accept a young actor who had caused trouble before?
So for a long time, Ye Yun couldn't get a single job.
He could only make money by working in a restaurant. If he had not been chosen by the crew and started working as a stunt double, Ye Yun would probably still be washing dishes in the film and television city.
It is true that Ye Yun is a bit stubborn. It is quite difficult for an ordinary person to make it in the entertainment industry without any capital to rely on. He has spent so many years in the film and television city. In fact, he could have done other things and might have become rich long ago.
But there is no way, he really likes acting, his love is very sincere and his heart is very pure - as long as there is a role to act, it doesn't matter how big the role is or how many shots it has, as long as he can be given a role, he will be very happy.
Apart from this, there seemed to be nothing special in Ye Yun's life trajectory.
He has never come into contact with any special people, nor has he behaved in any suspicious manner. He has no connection with the world of monsters at all. He is just an ordinary human being.
If he is really related to Zong Ning's experience more than a thousand years ago, then perhaps he is really the reincarnation of someone as Zong Ning said.
And seeing how Zong Ning coaxed people to come to him as soon as they met, Ye Yun was most likely...
Su Xuan: "...Is it the reincarnation of your lover from over a thousand years ago?"
Zong Ning: “…”
Su Xuan: "? What does the ellipsis mean?"
Su Xuan immediately spoke up for Little White Rabbit, blabbering, "You've been pestering her during the day this month, and even coaxing her to your room at night. I think everyone on your crew has tacitly accepted your relationship, and yet you still dare to say she's not the reincarnation of your lover?"
Zong Ning took a long time to reply, "The problem is that I only lost the memory of one night. If he is the reincarnation of my lover, does that mean he is my lover for one night?"
Su Xuan: "People like you might have started having one-night stands over a thousand years ago [picking nose]"
Zong Ning: "[Beat up the Pixiu]"
Su Xuan: "??? Where did you get the emoticons?!"
Zong Ning: "No more chatting, bye."
Su Xuan: "??? Stop right there!!!"
…
In the past month, Xia Yan, Wen Yu and Qi Hanyu's careers have been progressing smoothly.
With Qi Hanyu around, the ratings of "Uncle Comes to Tell" have increased several times, and it seems to be competing with other provincial TV prime-time variety shows in ratings. It is truly a wonder in the variety show industry.
Wen Yu successfully made it to the third round, with all his data leading the way. Xu Moli followed closely behind him, and the two of them left the people behind them far behind, as if there was a wall.
In the second round of the competition, Xia Yan successfully told the story about sourness and diarrhea... As soon as that episode was broadcast, netizens instantly made the topic a hot topic!
What exactly is "Suan Yu"? How did "Suan Yu" become a parasitic monster? It's not mentioned in "Classic of Mountains and Seas." Even Xia Yan's songs are full of quirky plots?! All the online writers are fuming. How did a rapper get involved with them?!
The host, responding to the audience's curiosity, asked Xia Yan what song he had prepared for the next round. Xia Yan said shyly, "The next song is called 'That Night I Dressed as a Woman and Sneaked into the Villa'."
As soon as the song title came out, it was amazing and immediately became the number one trending search.
"???? This song title? So exciting!"
"Fuck, I'm done. Is rap so exciting now? Flies rubbing their hands!"
"Please start the game soon, I'm really short of writing stuff lately QAQ"
"That's absolutely amazing! Brother Xia Yan, after you retire from the entertainment industry, can you write online novels? I'll give you the pen!"
"Fuck, hahahaha. Can Xia Yan's songs be published as a collection of short stories by the end of this season? I'll buy ten copies!"
"Ahhhhh who? Who's wearing women's clothes? Brother Xia Yan?! Or someone else?!"
Su Xuan: The night Xia Yan came to me to ask for the copyright of my creation, I paid too much QAQ
Now that the careers of several people here are stable, Su Xuan plans to visit Zong Ning and take a look at what kind of person Ye Yun, the little white rabbit, is.
I originally wanted to bring Qi Hanyu along, but he was a kid who usually loved to join in the fun, and now he was quite ambitious. He said that the filming schedule was tight, so I righteously refused.
Wow, wow, Su Xuan is still worried about not being able to find someone to accompany him to the film and television city?
He turned around and threw himself into his boyfriend's arms, acting coquettishly.
——If Qi Hanyu hadn’t refused, Su Xuan would have forgotten that he didn’t have to bring any guy from the company with him. He could just find his boyfriend!
And when has Gu Shuo ever refused a request made by Su Xuan?
He chuckled and agreed immediately: "Okay."
Su Xuan said sweetly, "A Shuo is the best!"
Gu Shuo couldn't help laughing, kissed Su Xuan's forehead, and said gently: "I'll drive over when the time comes."
The next night, Su Xuan helped pack the suitcase. They put their belongings together and set off the next morning.
*
It takes about three hours to drive from City A to the film and television city in City B.
After putting down his luggage at the hotel, Su Xuan said hello to Zong Ning and Director Xie on WeChat, and then went to the set with Gu Shuo.
On the way, Su Xuan remembered that he hadn't introduced Zong Ning to Gu Shuo yet, and hurriedly said, "Have you seen the stills from 'The Noon Execution'? Zong Ning plays the villain. The clothes and makeup he wears are very dark..."
It was Su Xuan's first time visiting the set, and he was quite excited. When he was excited, he tended to talk a lot.
Gu Shuo watched him gesticulating with his hands and feet, a smile on his face.
He lowered his eyes slightly, and a figure flashed through his mind.
Su Xuan grumbled, "...But Zong Ning doesn't like to talk to people. He's really annoying. If he ignores you, you don't have to either—"
Gu Shuo put his hand on his head and rubbed it.
Su Xuan stopped and blinked.
Gu Shuo smiled and said, "I met him once, have you forgotten?"
Su Xuan was stunned, then he remembered that Zong Ning and Gu Shuo had indeed met once half a month before the incident in the training camp.
He immediately burst into laughter: "Yes, but you only remember it once!"
Gu Shuo chuckled and said nothing.
When they entered the studio where the crew was filming, they saw Zong Ning in costume. The latter greeted Su Xuan and then cast an ambiguous look at Gu Shuo.
I remember it after meeting it once, simply because——
That meeting was just like today, the atmosphere was a little subtle.
Su Xuan didn't notice anything. He just kept looking at the set and asked Zong Ning slyly, "Where's your little white rabbit?"
"We're filming, why are you so curious about him?" Zong Ning said coldly, "You haven't even introduced yourself yet."
He signaled Gu Shuo with his eyes.
Gu Shuo was looking at him quietly, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Su Xuan was stunned and said, "I told you, he is my and Dad's next-door neighbor, Gu Shuo!"
Zong Ning raised an eyebrow and said, "When did you become close enough to your neighbors to hang out together?"
Su Xuan blushed all of a sudden.
Speaking of which, his father, Qi Hanyu, Xia Yan, Wen Yu and Bi Fang already knew about the relationship between him and Gu Shuo, but Zong Ning and Lu Hui who was far away in the boarding school didn't know yet.
Although it has been circulated on the Internet, they don’t pay much attention to the Internet.
Su Xuan looked at Gu Shuo, feeling a little shy.
Gu Shuo looked at him with a smile, deliberately waiting for him to introduce himself.
Zong Ning raised his eyebrows even higher, obviously guessing something.
Su Xuan blushed and said hesitantly: "Uh, well, I, we are dating..."
"Wow," Zong Ning said jokingly, with a half-smile on his face, "I didn't expect you to be in a relationship?"
"Why, no?" Su Xuan whispered, "You are the same, too. By the way, where is Ye Yunren? I want to see him act!"
Su Xuan was originally curious about Ye Yun. After getting to know him, he also had a good impression of him, so he wanted to visit the set this time to get to know him better.
Zong Ning crossed his arms and said, "He and I are different from you guys, okay? If you really want to see him, go look for him in the back. He's over there."
He tilted his head to indicate.
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan walked towards the back and stretched his neck.
As soon as Su Xuan left, Zong Ning turned his inquiring gaze back to Gu Shuo, who was also looking at him thoughtfully.
You're talking about love, right?
Zong Ning didn't know in advance that Su Xuan brought this man here today, and when they met this time, this man still gave him a feeling that something was wrong.
Zong Ning narrowed his eyes.
This time when they were face to face, he asked directly: "Have we met before?"
Zong Ning thought that the way Gu Shuo looked at him must be because he knew him.
Anyone who could leave an impression on him couldn't be an ordinary person, but Su Xuan seemed to be unaware of anything. Presumably, this man was approaching Su Xuan while concealing his identity.
What is his purpose?
What is he hiding?
Zong Ning would not give this man the chance to play dumb. He wanted to get away with it by not saying a word, but Zong Ning insisted on asking directly. He did not believe that this man could maintain a perfect disguise in front of him.
After hearing his question, a smile appeared on Gu Shuo's lips.
He looked at Zong Ning and said slowly: "So, you keep looking at me like this because you feel like you've seen me before but can't remember, right?"
Zong Ning was stunned.
"I see," Gu Shuo said slowly, "but I'm very sorry, I don't remember when we met."
Zong Ning was stunned, and suddenly realized that he was being tricked!
——This man didn’t say anything before not because he wanted to play dumb, but because he knew nothing at all. He noticed that Zong Ning’s eyes were not right, so he was waiting for Zong Ning to reveal his true intentions!
Zong Ning froze, his face suddenly darkening: "You..."
Gu Shuo curled his lips and followed Su Xuan's back.
Zong Ning felt like he was being played for a fool, and was a little unhappy. He gritted his teeth and chased after him, saying, "Hey, who are you? We've definitely met before. Are you really not remembering or are you just pretending not to remember?"
Gu Shuo asked calmly, "If you don't remember, then why can't I not remember?"
Zong Ning: “…………”
This logic is irrefutable.
Zong Ning's thoughts turned, and he narrowed his eyes and said, "Wait, I remember Bifang seemed to have said that when Wen Yu Yigong was there, Su Xuan's friends also appeared there. Could it be that they were talking about you?"
How could such a coincidence happen in this world? Living next door, having overlapping jobs, and even being there when the gourmets came to cause trouble?
Gu Shuo said casually: "It's because we have enough interactions that Ah Xuan and I became familiar with each other, isn't it?"
Zong Ning frowned: "But——"
Gu Shuo interrupted him and asked, "Are you concerned about Ah Xuan?"
Zong Ning was stunned.
Gu Shuo stared at Su Xuan's back and said softly, "If you doubt my background and worry that I have ulterior motives in approaching Ah Xuan, then you can rest assured. I like Ah Xuan and will never do anything to hurt Ah Xuan. As for the rest -"
He turned his eyes slightly and glanced at Zong Ning, and his gentle tone finally had a hint of coldness.
"I'll take care of Xuan's affairs, no one else needs to interfere."
Those seemingly gentle words concealed a strong possessiveness and warning.
Zong Ning: “……?”
After a few seconds, he came to his senses.
Damn, is he being considered a love rival?!
Zong Ning was a little confused. He was shocked: "No way, you think I like Su Xuan? Why do you think so?"
Gu Shuo said calmly: "Because Xuan is very cute."
Zong Ning: “?”
Gu Shuo: "Ah Xuan is also very smart."
Zong Ning: “???”
Gu Shuo lowered his eyes, and his tone became gentle again: "Ah Xuan is still very sweet."
Zong Ning: “???”
Gu Shuo raised his lips, his dark eyes gleaming with brilliance: "It's not surprising for anyone in this world to like Ah Xuan."
Zong Ning: ???
Why did he ask for this dog food? !
Zong Ning's mouth twitched. "I don't have the slightest interest in Su Xuan, thank you. Even if he were to strip naked in front of me, I'd look at him like a piglet. He's yours, no need to worry!"
After hearing the first half of Zong Ning's sentence, Gu Shuo glanced at him coldly. After hearing the last sentence, Gu Shuo gently withdrew his gaze.
Zong Ning: Where on earth did this bastard come from?!
The reason why Zong Ning was wary of Gu Shuo was simply because no matter how stupid Su Xuan and Lu Tao were, they were still like family to him. He never expected that they would be regarded as love rivals. This was something he could never have imagined even if he had killed himself!
Come to think of it, Yuan Que was like this too. Zong Ning was speechless. Couldn't these people be more normal when it comes to getting jealous?!
Zong Ning wiped his face, then felt something was wrong and asked perceptively, "When Lu Tao and the others were with Su Xuan, did you also regard them as your love rivals?"
Gu Shuo: "No."
Zong Ning: "?! Then why am I being treated specially? Explain it to me clearly!"
Gu Shuo frowned slightly at this question and fell into deep thought.
A second later, he raised his eyes and said calmly, "Maybe it's because they are the same kind as Xuan."
Zong Ning quickly translated this sentence.
——Because Lu Tao and the others are all zero, only Zong Ning is one!
Zong Ning is fine, Zong Ning is fine again!
In front, Su Xuan had no idea what deep-seated topic the two men behind him were discussing. Just as he saw Ye Yun hanging in the air on a wire, a man came towards him and bumped into his shoulder heavily.
It was obvious that he was walking without looking at the road and bumped into him, but he frowned and glared at Su Xuan, and made a "tsk" sound.
Su Xuan turned his head and looked at him instantly, recognizing that the actor was Lin Jiajia, the person who served as Ye Yun's stunt double in the fight scenes.
...This Lin Jiajia actually has spiritual power on her body.
