Chapter 112 Waiting for the call (plus more) What are you pretending for?
“…”
The little girl was a little stunned, looking at Chen Shiyi who suddenly changed his style and became a complete green tea.
…It didn’t seem like the person she knew was the same person.
The man who was so radiant on the stage before, a walking seductress, is now like a loser, a very loser.
He grabbed Zhu Yanshi's wrist, turned around, raised his chin proudly, and walked him away with a smug look on his face.
Like a peacock spreading its tail, every hair on its body is written with—
You're still a little naive!
Zhu Yanshi was dragged away forcibly, and he didn't quite understand the situation. He looked at Chen Shiyi with the look of an old hen protecting her chicks, and felt a little amused.
"Aren't you cleaning in there?"
Chen Shiyi let go of Zhu Yanshi's hand, squatted on the ground, and looked up into Zhu Yanshi's eyes.
"Can't you just be quiet?"
He lowered his head in frustration, staring at the small ants moving on the ground.
He didn't know if it was because of the filter of his friend that he had on. Just now when he looked up at Zhu Yan, he could see the setting sun falling between the boy's eyebrows, illuminating those unusually bright eyes.
The other person had a calm gaze, a hint of a smile on his lips, and a gentle aura emanating from him.
My heart started beating uncontrollably fast, and I lowered my head in panic.
"It's only been a short while since I last saw you... and you're already attracting attention..."
He stammered.
"What did you say? Speak louder."
Zhu Yanshi narrowed his eyes and looked at the boy squatting on the ground in front of him, who began to talk to himself and mutter softly.
"Are you saying bad things about me?"
Zhu Yanshi asked.
"Boys, when you go out, don't you know how to protect yourself?"
Chen Shiyi managed to utter a few words, his expression was serious, he frowned, and tried to persuade earnestly.
Zhu Yanshi hit him on the head with a chestnut.
"Can you please talk properly?"
"Why didn't I protect myself?"
When this question was asked, Chen Shiyi didn't know how to answer for a moment. His face turned red. He stood up in annoyance and threw the branch he had just picked up to the ground.
"I have no place in your heart anyway. You don't care about me at all!"
After yelling this, he ran away in a hurry.
It was like a rebellious son who, after being scolded at the dinner table, threw down his dishes, wiped his tears and ran away...
Zhu Yanshi didn't quite understand why Chen Shiyi was angry. Did he fall for that pitiful little girl?
Was he warning himself? Trying to intimidate himself?
He shook his head, filled with emotion.
It’s really awkward for young people nowadays to talk about love…
Zhu Yanshi, who didn't quite understand how he had angered others, prepared a simple dinner as an outside help using the ingredients that the Manta members had won in the game after everyone cleaned up the kitchen and the living room.
Very rare.
Zhu Yanshi almost forgot when was the last time he cooked.
It seemed like a naughty child from a client's family was forgotten at the company, so he picked him up. When the parents came to pick him up, the child's face was covered with grease from eating, and he was holding his thighs and crying, refusing to leave.
He was still saying, "I want another bite of meat! Please, Mom!"
Zhu Yanshi couldn't help laughing while washing vegetables.
Chen Shiyi, who happened to be observant and attentive, happened to hear it. He walked out of the bedroom, pretended to be washing hands in the kitchen, and asked a question.
"Why are you grinning like an idiot by yourself?"
Zhu Yanshi told Chen Shiyi what he had thought. Chen Shiyi probably thought it was boring, but he still laughed a few times.
"Do you like children?"
He asked suddenly.
Zhu Yanshi didn't think and replied subconsciously.
"I like it very much."
After saying this, a dog who was almost rubbing his hands to pieces from trying to speak turned around and left silently.
Chen Shiyi returned to the room again and continued his work like a zombie in front of the camera under the attention of tens of thousands of people in the live broadcast room.
After moving a chair that he had placed before going out back and forth countless times, everyone was surprised to find that Chen Shiyi's earlobes and even cheeks began to turn red at the speed of light.
【Why is his face so red? 】
[Didn't you just go to the bathroom? What happened?]
[This unfortunate child, moving a stool around, what is he thinking about? ]
[Ahhhhhhh! Baby! You're so cute! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]
"I just want to know what happened just now. How could he be so absent-minded? And what on earth was he thinking?!"
…
The barrage area was filled with comments, and even the director who had just witnessed the whole process didn't quite understand the situation when he checked the live broadcast room.
He just passed by the living room on his way to the bathroom and vaguely heard their conversation. Were those words something that could make people's adrenaline rush?
He thought it was just some simple small talk! He could even say that the conversation was meaningless and extremely boring.
Only Chen Shiyi himself knew why he blushed.
He returned to his room, his mind full of a picture -
Under the light, Zhu Yanshi's smile was extremely gentle. She lowered her head, stroked her round and protruding belly with her fingers, and even looked at him with a smile, saying, "The child kicked me again..."
Aaaaaaaaaahh ...
He screamed wildly in his heart, his ears turned red, and a heat ran through his body. Chen Shiyi felt that he was worse than a beast!
How could he think of Zhu Yanshi like this!
But then again…he's gay, so logically speaking, no one would bear a child for him…so doesn't that mean he'd have to have one himself?!
Chen Shiyi used a reasonable reason to justify his dirty thoughts.
From then on, he could no longer look at Zhu Yanshi normally.
Night fell quietly, the cleaning came to an end, and everyone sat at the dining table to eat.
As a behind-the-scenes staff member, it was impossible for Zhu Yanshi to sit and eat with these stars on the show. After serving all the dishes on the table, he retreated behind the camera to chat with the director.
Everyone sat at the wooden table in the yard. Chen Shiyi took the lead in filling a clean bowl with some food, then stood up and gave it to Zhu Yanshi who was hiding behind the camera.
"Eat quickly, you must be hungry."
He was even considerate enough to help Zhu Yanshi break up the disposable chopsticks, then turned and politely faced the director.
"Director Li, would you like to eat something together?"
"I can't. We've already ordered food. You guys eat."
Director Li pointed to the lunch box on the table behind him. Seeing Chen Shiyi leave, Director Li suddenly came over.
"You two seem to be pretty close... I heard you were childhood friends. Why haven't you considered joining the entertainment industry?"
Quite gossipy.
Zhu Yanshi had taken off the mask on his face. He was chewing a piece of chicken and raising the corners of his eyes.
"I'm uncoordinated and tone-deaf, so I'm destined to never make a living from this."
Sighing: "I was born with the life of an ox or a horse, what can I do?"
"You can be a pretty face! There's plenty of people like that in this industry anyway... Maybe you have acting talent and are destined for the big screen!"
Director Li really enjoyed chatting with Zhu Yanshi. He found that this kid was not only humble and polite, but also not arrogant or impatient. He was a patient person who could accomplish great things. He was sweet-mouthed, spoke nicely, and had high emotional intelligence. After just one day of getting along, no one in the program crew disliked chatting with him.
I like him in my heart, and Director Li also thinks highly of him and praises him a few words.
Zhu Yanshi wanted to laugh. This circle was too complicated. It was okay for people like Chen Shiyi and Zhang Luchen who had family backgrounds to hang out together, but for someone like him who had no background and no strength, it would be strange if he was not eaten alive.
Shaking his head: "I'm not suitable for this bowl of rice."
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity for this face..." Director Li shook his head and sighed.
It had been a long time since Zhu Yanshi had exercised so much as today. His body had consumed too much energy. He felt dizzy while eating and had hypoglycemia.
After eating, he stopped talking and numbly raised his hands to put the food into his mouth and chewed, but his eyes were fixed on the monitor.
After dinner, Zhu Yanshi seemed to remember something and asked.
"Director Li, let me ask you something."
"you say."
Director Li didn't take his eyes off the monitor and tilted his head slightly.
"With so many staff members, why did you leave the good cooperation opportunity to me?"
Zhu Yanshi got up too early in the morning to sign the contract, and his brain hadn't reacted yet. Now when he thinks back on it, he feels that everything is a bit unbelievable.
There are so many staff members, and many of them have more work experience than me. Why did Director Li give this good job to me, a stranger he has never met?
“This project is sponsored by Xinqi.”
Director Li stopped there, a meaningful smile on his face, "Your relationship with Mr. Song is not simple..."
Zhu Yanshi: "..."
What's with the gossipy tone?
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when the recording ended. Everyone was tired after a day's work and prepared to wash up and go to bed.
The staff of the program team all went to the hotel outside the village to rest, and Zhu Yanshi was left here by Chen Shiyi and others to stay together.
The other party's words were as unreasonable as ever.
"You are our assistant and you have to take care of us 24 hours a day. If you leave, who will we turn to for help?"
Come closer, the dog's eyes are shining.
"Besides, the bed I was assigned was huge! Big enough for the two of us!"
Zhu Yanshi just gave Chen Shiyi a cold look, turned around and left the wooden house.
Chen Shiyi understood the meaning of the other party's look just now, and even felt numb and didn't want to explain anymore.
——Are you really not uncomfortable sleeping with me, a gay, as a straight man?
But he would play dumb.
He felt that Zhu Yanshi, as a gay, was too thin-skinned and thought too much. He didn't mind, but Zhu Yanshi became shy.
This won't do, I need to practice! Being too thin-skinned can easily lead to losses!
Chen Shi nodded. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his twisted logic made sense. Satisfied with his overly great idea, he went back to wash up.
On the other side, under the eaves, countless small insects were circling and dancing in the light of the street lamps.
Zhu Yanshi made a phone call. The call was connected after two rings. In his ear, he could hear a man breathing softly, his voice was extremely sexy and hoarse.
"Why did you think of calling me?"
Zhu Yanshi kicked a stone at his feet away and laughed.
"Why are you pretending? Aren't you just waiting for this call?"
