Lu Rou did not respond to the other party's distant inquiry. Instead, she just walked to the palace wall and looked at the busy people below who were as small as ants.
She turned her back to the man and sighed slowly, "You look a lot like an old friend of mine."
Chu Zigui's eyes changed for a moment, and where she couldn't see him, he clenched his hands into fists to hide his emotions that were about to get out of control.
When he spoke again, his voice had returned to its usual state: "Princess, who are you talking about? I have been in the capital for a long time, and I have never heard anyone say such a thing."
He was a gentle scholar, and his thin body looked like it would be blown by the wind at any time. Naturally, no one would associate him with the cheerful major general.
But Lu Rou did it anyway, even though the two of them were worlds apart, she still thought so.
But the person in front of her would probably never admit it no matter what. She felt a little tired for some reason, as if a corner of the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly leaked out and could never be taken back.
"Chu Zigui," she called the man, as if chatting: "Where are you from?"
"From Jiangnan." the man replied.
His gaze was fixed on the person in front of him, with confusion and forbearance in his eyes, and looking inward, there was countless pity.
"People from Jiangnan, Jiangnan is a good place." Lu Rou murmured.
She seemed to be lost in thought, and was actually walking forward slowly. In the end, she even walked up the stairs. If she moved forward... she would step on empty air and fall from the palace wall that was tens of meters high. The consequences can be imagined.
Chu Zigui's pupils dilated for a moment, and there were even bloody marks on the palm of his hand.
One step, two steps, Lu Rou still didn't stop, as if she was playing a game with the person behind her, gambling with her own life.
The person behind her never spoke, and she never stopped.
Just as his toes were about to step into the air, the person behind him sighed and finally chose to give in to this, his only weakness.
The man tiptoed and came lightly behind Lu Rou. He grabbed her wrist that was hanging by her side and pulled it gently. The thinner girl fell into his arms.
Staring at the other person's excited eyes, he smiled heartily, just like the high-spirited young general back then, and teased: "Princess, you are like this, it hurts my heart."
…
The play was nearing its end, but Yu Zhi was still trapped in it and couldn't recover for a long time.
Shi Rui gently placed the girl's head in his arms and patted her back in front of everyone to comfort her.
With the experience accumulated over a long period of time, Shi Rui relies more on the skills he has summarized when acting, so he can always perform much faster than others.
But Yu Zhi was a little different. Perhaps it was because she had never received systematic training, or because she had too many similarities with Lu Rou, so she naturally put herself in the shoes of this little princess of the same age.
From a professional perspective, she belongs to the immersive school, and is the school most likely to be deeply immersed in the play and unable to get out of it.
The first part didn't require much emotion, so the performance was naturally much quicker, but the second part wasn't so easy.
At that moment, Yu Zhi felt as if all her thoughts had disappeared. The only thing that existed was the pleasant fragrance belonging to that person at the tip of her nose and the warm touch coming from behind.
After a few minutes, the girl finally struggled to lift her head from him.
After seeing the gossipy expressions on the faces of the elders headed by Lin Kuisheng, even she couldn't help but blush.
"Cough cough." Shi Rui put his fist to his mouth and coughed twice to remind everyone.
Immediately afterwards, coughs of varying lengths and pitches were heard in the room. Some were to ease the embarrassment, while others were simply to watch the show.
Qin Siyuan was confused again. How could this happen...are they all catching a cold?
Fortunately, everyone had something important to do, and they were soon back to their normal work.
They did not make any comments on the talented performance, but just wrote a few words on the paper in front of them.
"You go back first, and we will send you the results of the discussion later." Lin Kuisheng said.
Yu Zhi nodded. This was just a normal step after the audition. They usually needed to have a careful discussion before deciding on the final candidate. After all, this was no joke.
After bowing, he was about to step out when he heard Lin Kuisheng raise his voice: "Shi Rui, you get out too."
He even gestured to the man as he spoke, looking very concerned.
Yu Zhi pursed her lips helplessly. These master and disciple were really cut from the same cloth. Neither of them was serious.
So a few minutes later, when Qin Siyuan saw the door open and went to greet it with joy, she met the eyes of Actor Shi who came out first.
At that moment, countless swear words flashed through her mind.
Fortunately, Yu Zhi followed behind him and quickly showed up, otherwise who knows what violent things this agent would do.
When they said goodbye at the door, Qin Siyuan took Yu Zhi's arm and looked at the man in front of her with an unfriendly expression.
After all, the two of them were not strangers, so there was no need to pretend to be at peace on the surface.
Moreover, in her eyes, Shi Rui was simply a villain who abducted her own artist. Even if he had contributed to this opportunity, it was useless. She had completely forgotten who had said not to interfere with Yu Zhi's contact with him.
"Our Zhizhi has something to do later, so she won't be accompanying Actor Shi." She said harshly.
Shi Rui was actually a very bad person, especially when it came to Yu Zhi. He only glanced at the watch on his wrist and then said, "Then I'll just meet Zhi Zhi tonight."
Qin Siyuan's teeth were about to break when she heard the man continue, "By the way, I haven't wished you a happy wedding yet."
After saying that, he threw a coquettish glance at Yu Zhi and walked into the car parked on the side of the road, looking really sexy.
However, Yu Zhi didn't have the heart to complain about this person at the moment. She looked at the woman in front of her and asked doubtfully, "Happy wedding...?"
Qin Siyuan sighed, realizing that she could not defeat that shameless man no matter what, so she pulled the little girl into the car.
After they sat down, she slowly announced a bombshell: "I'm getting married."
Yu Zhi:?
Wasn't it a few days ago that I was still wondering whether or not to get married? Could it be...
Seeing the doubt in her eyes, Qin Siyuan explained: "It's a fake marriage. After marriage, he doesn't interfere with me, and I don't interfere with him. It's just for the sake of reputation."
Yu Zhi was speechless. These two were surprisingly insightful.
"Are you going to have a wedding?" she asked.
Qin Siyuan seemed to have forgotten too. She picked up her phone and checked it for a long time before slowly replying, "Oh, it's in half a month. You guys can come and play then."
