Chapter 32: Three in One, I am three
"Especially the eyes."
Her fingertips gently traced his eyebrows and Cen Xue sighed.
He was completely drunk.
I was so drunk that I told the most inappropriate secret to the person who should not know it.
There was no strong smell of alcohol on Cen Xue's body, unlike before, the smell of peach was replaced by another.
It was the taste of grapes that had been rotten to the bone, like peeling the skin and crushing it bit by bit with your fingers. The juice seeped into your skin and stained your nails. It was so sweet that it gradually became fishy and made you dizzy.
Fu Rouyun didn't know whether he couldn't think because of this or because of what he said.
His breathing became heavy, and his soul, which had been floating in the air due to the coming-of-age ceremony, suddenly became heavy.
So that's how it is, Fu Rouyun thought.
My memory suddenly went back to the time when we first met three years ago, that voice——
'Classmate, are you queuing?'
"Have you encountered any difficulties?"
"You must be hungry. Let me treat you to a bowl of noodles first."
No wonder Shuo Bude would take the initiative to talk, no wonder Shuo Bude didn't get angry when being followed, no wonder Shuo Bude was so considerate to help, it turns out that everything is excusable.
Because he looks a lot like someone important to him.
"Hmm."
As if he had a sudden headache, Cen Xue shook a little, and Fu Rouyun quickly supported him.
As he moved, the silver bottle necklace hit his collarbone, causing him to let out a small cry of pain.
"…What else?"
In the wind, he finally found his voice, and Fu Rouyun heard himself asking in a dry and stiff voice.
Cen Xue grabbed the pendant on the silver bottle and asked, "What?"
"I say, apart from the eyes, how else is he like him?"
The moment this question came out, his soul sank completely.
Fu Rouyun knew very well what he was doing - taking advantage of a person's unconsciousness and using his trust in him to dig out his biggest secrets.
Taking advantage of someone's misfortune?
But——Fu Rouyun suppressed his jealousy.
He also feels aggrieved.
A drunk person becomes dull and only has instincts left.
Cen Xue suddenly laughed, with a bit of naivety that seemed to have been deceived. He shook the silver bottle pendant, and there was a sound like pebbles rolling and colliding inside.
Fu Rouyun knew the existence of this necklace.
From the first day Cen Xue arrived at the Fu family, he had been wearing this necklace and had never taken it off.
This type of person either likes to decorate himself with jewelry, or the jewelry has extraordinary commemorative significance. In that case, he must be the latter.
When he was with Cen Xue, his necklace always made the same sound as before.
Fu Rouyun's curiosity about his crush couldn't be contained. If only he could know everything about Cen Xue. Of course, he also took advantage of his younger age and innocence, asking a lot of probing questions.
Cen Xue is never impatient and always answers every question.
Although now it seems that the answer to why has been found.
Fu Rouyun still remembers asking, "What's in that little bottle? Why does it keep making noises? It doesn't sound like a bell."
Cen Xue’s answer was—
"I told you then that inside were two white, polished polar bear teeth that looked like pebbles."
Cen Xue held the silver bottle pendant, unscrewed it halfway, and then tightened it again.
"You really believed it and even gave me a polar bear stuffed animal."
The doll is now lying next to Cen Xue's pillow.
Just when Fu Rouyun thought he was going to say, "Actually, I don't like it at all. I just said it casually to fool you."
He suddenly pursed his lips, and tears fell down one after another.
That's what drunk people are like, their emotions are all over the place.
He said: "He lied to me the same way when he gave it to me, and I believed it."
This was like a floodgate opening, or a dam bursting. Cen Xue suddenly became excited. He couldn't control his sobs, covered his face with his hands, and sat down on the chair next to him.
This was the first time Fu Rouyun saw Cen Xue cry.
It was also the first time I saw someone crying without any sound, at most a few brief sobs.
Cen Xue covered her face, leaned against the back of the chair, tilted her head back, and her fingers gradually became wet. The tears that escaped flowed down her cheeks into her hair, and then hung on the bend of her earbone.
His pain and sadness were instantly measured in real terms, and the small puddle formed by the bend was the evidence.
Fu Rouyun heard Cen Xue sobbing like a child, "I miss him so much."
He was stunned for a moment, seemingly watching coldly, but in fact, a conflict between his conscience and his desires was going on in his mind.
After attacking again and again, in the end, it couldn’t withstand the sentence “I miss him so much”!
With these four words, all the defenses collapsed into ruins. He broke the spearhead and buried himself, who was still feeling wronged and angry, at the bottom.
--never mind.
Fu Rouyun finally lowered his shoulders and knelt on one knee beside Cen Xue's legs.
He shook Cen Xue's arm as if treating something fragile.
Fu Rouyun coaxed her, "If you miss him, then look at me more, okay?"
As he spoke, he could hear the sound of his own heart breaking.
"What's his personality like? He should love to laugh," Fu Rouyun forced a smile, "Isn't it said that my eyes are most like his."
“…I don’t want it.”
Cen Xue uttered a few syllables.
The voice was hoarse and broken, like glass beads falling from a pocket and hitting the ground, leaving scars.
He sobbed and said, "—I can't owe you more."
Truth comes out when drunk, and Fu Rouyun believed that what Cen Xue said was true.
So Fu Rouyun could no longer speak.
Forcing herself to pray like that was like stabbing herself in the heart, and now Cen Xue pushed the knife deeper.
I don’t want it either, Fu Rouyun thought, I would rather you owe me forever.
The more you owe, the better, until you can’t even count it all, then you can just write it off and never separate again.
But he still said nothing, quietly waiting for Cen Xue's tears to dry up and her sobs to gradually subside. When the alcohol was completely worn off and Cen Xue's hand loosened, he caught Cen Xue, who had fallen asleep from crying herself tired, picked her up and carried her to the bedroom.
In the middle, I met other servants.
"Oh, what's wrong with Xiao Cen?"
"He was so happy that he got drunk!" Fu Rouyun forced himself to cheer up and fool them.
Fortunately, they were also very drunk.
This is probably the day with the fewest people in the Fu family awake.
He put Cen Xue on the bed and simply washed her face. His eyes were a little red and chapped because he had shed too many tears. Fu Rouyun felt that this was not good, so he found a box of facial cream on the sink and scooped two dollops of it to apply thickly on her eyes.
...kind of cute.
No, she still feels cute even in this state. Fu Rouyun despises herself, so she must be an M.
What can I do? Even though I know he is a stand-in, I still like him when I see him. It's over.
Fu Rouyun saw the polar bear doll on Cen Xue's bedside.
He really thought Cen Xue liked polar bears very much.
He took the doll and rubbed it cruelly in his hands. Lu Yanxi bumped into it, but nothing happened.
Not feeling satisfied at once, he pushed the doll against the wall and banged it wildly.
Then he hummed to himself, rubbed the flat polar bear back into a round shape, and put it back in its place.
Fu Rouyun couldn't sleep on the night of his coming-of-age ceremony.
He lay on the bed, his posture as stiff as a mummy. He felt a terrible pain on his forehead. It must have been hit when he bumped into the polar bear doll just now. He wiped his face to wipe away the spineless tears that were about to burst out.
Is it really a forehead headache? He doesn't know.
Maybe my heart is hurting too. I'll start taking health supplements tomorrow.
Fu Rouyun thought that there was no coming-of-age ceremony more special than this.
*
The next day, Cen Xue seemed to have forgotten everything.
Fu Rouyun tried many times, but his expression was always normal. It turned out that he was so drunk that he lost his memory last night.
He kept everything hidden.
Like it never happened.
Looking at Cen Xue, he touched his face in confusion: "Strange, the weather is not very dry yet, why do I feel a little tight..." His eyes were also tired.
Fu Rouyun put on a nonchalant look and said, "That's definitely due to a hangover. Brother, your alcohol tolerance is too low."
Cen Xue hesitated: "Is it really that bad?"
"Really?" Fu Rouyun said seriously, "Brother, don't drink in front of outsiders from now on."
Not long after the coming-of-age ceremony, a hot post about the future appeared on a forum:
How can I keep my tutor? He seems to be quitting.
If you refresh now, the latest reply from the OP is:
452l[OP]
The teacher's very important necklace chain broke.
Honestly, although I feel bad for the teachers who are sad because of this, I think it’s a good opportunity.
I bought a new chain :) and was planning to find a good time to give it away.
As the substitute is secretly fermenting, the meaning of the necklace to Fu Rouyun has changed.
In a sense, perhaps letting Cen Xue wear the necklace he gave her would be more exciting and meaningful than letting Cen Xue wear his ring.
Sooner or later he would have to replace that person's traces and take his place.
This is Fu Rouyun’s new ambition since his coming-of-age ceremony.
He had actually bought the new necklace after he withdrew from the talent show, but Cen Xue's recovery was more important, so he couldn't find a suitable time to give it to her.
After the silver bottle necklace broke, it was put into a jewelry box. To date, Fu Rouyun still doesn't know what was inside, but it definitely wasn't a polar bear's tooth.
If that's true, I hope that person gets eaten by a polar bear.
Assholes who don't love animals.
Fu Rouyun cursed wildly.
As for his two exes, they didn't get along. The "happy family of origin" was a powerful attack. Jealousy can bend a person, and Fu Rouyun transferred all his malice towards that person onto his opponent.
It’s not a loss anyway.
The pot of tea was soon finished. Fu Rouyun threw the phone note to Lu Yanxi and Yan Pei, completed his task, and prepared to leave.
Yan Pei suddenly said, "I'm going to investigate what he's hiding from me."
This "he" of course refers to Cen Xue.
"He won't like it." Lu Yanxi said.
Yan Pei: "You're quite good at saying nice things now, but why didn't you try to show off when we were here just now?"
Lu Yanxi: "At least I won't do it in a way that he hates, but you can definitely do it."
"Then you wait," Yan Pei scoffed, "and see if he tells you. Hopefully it won't be fifty years from now."
Putting on glasses, a mask and a hat, Yan Pei walked away.
He was still spitting tea leaves out of his mouth when he left.
Fu Rouyun no longer cared about the confrontation between the two of them. His mind was full of thoughts on how to give the new necklace.
After Yan Pei walked away, he also left at a different time.
When I returned to the temporary house and opened the door, it was still pitch black - Cen Xue had not come back.
This was expected. After all, Cen Xue took three days off at this time last year, so it was not impossible for her to spend the night outside this year.
Fu Rouyun suppressed his disappointment and tried hard not to think about what Cen Xue had done. He quickly went to the bedroom and found the jewelry box from the pocket of a coat in the closet.
Sitting on the bed, he opened the box.
The style he chose has its own pendant.
It was a design of an asteroid, inlaid with crushed diamonds, and in the center of the planet, there was a natural amethyst.
He wanted to be the star that Cen Xue couldn't find that night.
But I probably won’t be able to send it out tonight.
Sighing, he closed it, and just as Fu Rouyun hid back into his clothes—
There was a sound of the door locking in the entrance hall.
...Cen Xue is back!
Without time to put it back, Fu Rouyun grabbed the jewelry box and ran towards the entrance.
"elder brother!"
He greeted her happily, then asked in surprise, "Aren't you staying out overnight?"
"I didn't say I was going to stay out overnight," Cen Xue said, puzzled. "Besides, we live together, so of course I have to tell you whether I'm going home or not."
In other words, if you haven't mentioned it, you will definitely go home.
"Go home" - these two words were enough to completely cleanse the darkness from Fu Rouyun's body and mind.
Cen Xue said this was their home.
Although he knew it was not his original intention, he still felt a surge of emotion when he heard it.
Cen Xue put down her bag and asked, "Why don't you turn on the light?"
Because when I’m in a bad mood, I wish the whole world was black.
But Fu Rouyun would not tell him the truth. Just as he was about to say that he was planning to go to bed, Cen Xue turned on the light with a click.
His vision suddenly became clear, and Fu Rouyun was dazed for a few seconds.
I saw——
The unfamiliar white chain around Cen Xue's neck.
…He has a new necklace.
When is it?
Fu Rouyun's subconscious reaction was to hide the jewelry box in her hand behind her back.
During this period, he checked every day to see if there was a new necklace on Cen Xue's neck, so as not to miss the opportunity to give him the necklace first.
At least yesterday, his neck was still empty.
I didn't see it at the teahouse either.
As a result, within just one night, a new one appeared.
Who on earth is this…? !
The canine's sharp tooth almost rubbed the inner wall of his mouth so hard that it hurt. Fu Rouyun tried his best to suppress his anger and jealousy. The sharp corner of the jewelry box almost carved a bloody mark on his palm.
If he didn't try to restrain himself, he was afraid that his questioning tone would scare Cen Xue.
Something like what happened on the first night of the draft must never happen again.
Fu Rouyun began looking for someone to give the necklace to.
It must...it must be that person.
Fu Rouyun thought that only that person could make Cen Xue wear a new necklace so easily.
It's like old clothes. You don't want to wear them, but you are not allowed to throw them away. After waiting for a long time, the fabric is worn out due to age, and you have a legitimate reason to throw them away. The next day, your mother tells you - oh, I replaced the clothes with a new piece of cloth, don't throw it away.
All the hesitation, expectation, struggle and frantic heartbeat were wasted.
Looking at the chain swaying before his eyes, Fu Rouyun suddenly felt as if he was being mocked.
They laughed at him for worrying about it for so long while others did it easily.
"It's so hot, the air conditioner isn't even on."
Cen Xue fanned herself with her hands, walked past him, and went to the living room to turn on the air conditioner.
"I'm going to take a shower first. Have you taken one yet?"
Fu Rouyun replied after a while: "No."
"Well, you guys stayed in the teahouse for that long?"
Cen Xueren has already entered the bathroom.
The bathroom door in this house has a layer of frosted glass.
When the light is on, you can see the vague shadows of the people inside.
Fu Rouyun walked closer and stood in a blind spot beside the door. While watching his movements, he took off his short-sleeved shirt, then - put his hands behind his neck to unfasten the chain buckle and put it into the dirty clothes basket on the washing machine.
He turned back and leaned against the door, tossing the jewelry box between his hands. "Brother, they don't look nice to you at all."
Cen Xue paused.
Although Lu Yanxi tried his best to claim that he and Yan Pei were just friends to Cen Xue.
But Fu Rouyun already knew about Yan Pei's affairs, and with the aggressive attitude in the teahouse, Lu Yanxi's identity and position were basically clear.
"Don't guess blindly."
After leaving a vague sentence, Cen Xue pulled the shower curtain.
The sound of water gradually rose.
Being separated from the naked Cen Xue by a wall should have been an ambiguous situation that aroused people's imagination, but Fu Rouyun had no intention of being moved.
Many bad thoughts flashed through my mind until I heard Cen Xue's voice calling from inside:
"Could you help me with my pajamas and towel?"
"good--"
Fu Rouyun responded mechanically, picked up a towel and knocked on the door: "I'm coming in, brother."
There's nothing to see when you come in.
The water vapor blurred my eyes, and the shower curtain that separated the wet and dry areas blocked out all the light.
"Brother, I put it on the shelf next to the laundry basket."
After putting away his pajamas and towel, Fu Rouyun did not leave immediately.
He glanced casually and stopped at the laundry basket.
That vegetarian chain is placed on top.
Fu Rouyun picked up one end of the chain, and the chain swung in the air. How could he not see that the chain was a valuable item, but——
Cen Xue wouldn't notice anything he did now.
How about throwing him down the stairs while he's taking a shower?
Or mixed in with the kitchen garbage.
The fastest way, he looked at washing his fingers, or he could throw it into the drain and flush it away.
But I always feel that simply throwing it away would be too easy for that person.
Fu Rouyun allowed jealousy to grow. The mirror in the bathroom was covered with fog. He could only see his own blurry face when he turned sideways, like in a horror movie without any facial features.
But the expression... would definitely be vicious and ugly.
Fu Rouyun suddenly felt so pitiful.
If Cen Xue saw me like this, she would definitely hate me.
…
"Hey," Cen Xue asked inexplicably, "Ruyun, are you still there?"
He turned off the water, pulled out the shower curtain and looked out.
Looking around, I didn't see Fu Rouyun, but there were pajamas and towels on the shelf next to the dirty clothes basket.
It's strange, I felt like there was someone outside just now.
Cen Xue shook her head, dried herself with a towel and changed into clean clothes. Just as she was about to put the clothes into the washing machine, she saw the top chain and paused.
In the afternoon, Fu Rouyun and Yan Pei came so suddenly that they accepted Lu Yanxi's gift without thinking.
The collar of the short-sleeved shirt he wore today was a bit high, and the chain was quite long, so when he moved, the chain was covered.
Yan Zijiao took him home in the evening.
If he remembered correctly, Yan Zijiao's original plan was to discuss business in City S. Cen Xue suppressed her doubts about this contradiction and did not ask any extra questions.
He fell asleep again on the way back.
Even Yan Zijiao couldn't help but ask: "Are you so tired?"
"I don't know..." Cen Xue rubbed her face, "Maybe."
Only he himself knows best.
Because only in Yan Zijiao's car can you have that special... sense of security.
This is not a good dependence. Cen Xue is very clear about his feelings. He does not have any feelings for Yan Zijiao.
But otherwise, he would not take the initiative to do more research.
Yan Zijiao waited for him to regain consciousness and turned on the car lights, "If there is any public opinion about you behind..."
"It's okay, Mr. Yan," Cen Xue said, "You don't have to worry about anything extra."
If we have to ask others to settle everything every time, that would be crossing a certain limit.
Yan Zijiao seemed to know what he would say: "But at least I can inform you as soon as possible."
Cen Xue joked, "Then just subscribe to this service."
"Your necklace," Yan Zijiao pointed, "is it new?"
Cen Xue lowered her head and found that she had turned the chain inside out when she was adjusting her collar and hair.
"Newly bought," he said, echoing Yan Zijiao's words, "After all, the previous one broke, so I have to replace it."
"Really..." Yan Zijiao tapped the steering wheel with his index finger and said casually, "It seems I'm a step too late."
Cen Xue played dumb: "How could it be late? I saw it. On the night of the incident, netizens thought Yan Pei's beating was a good move, and the voices of the haters were completely drowned out."
It is difficult to say whether the video of Yan Pei beating someone was spread by Yan Zijiao.
Yan Zijiao: "If you mean the result of personally sending your cousin to the top of the must-eat list."
Cen Xue: "...This should be a side effect."
Cen Xue suddenly remembered that Yan Pei still didn't know—
While they were sitting in the teahouse, his cousin, Yan Zijiao, was waiting outside to pick him up.
With a sense of subtle revenge, Cen Xue found an excuse to say goodbye to Yan Zijiao and got out of the car.
Who knew that when Fu Rouyun got home, he neither turned on the air conditioner nor the lights.
It’s pitch dark and I’m so tired.
After dealing with four men at once, Cen Xue finally felt relieved at the end of the day.
He didn't plan to wear Lu Yanxi's plain necklace.
I always feel that it will be unclear.
But returning it would mean meeting him again.
Or maybe she could take this opportunity to go see Lu Puff, Cen Xue thought, but she didn't have any expectations for a specific date. After all, top stars are so busy that sleep is a luxury.
Coming out with steam, Cen Xue didn't see Fu Rouyun.
The door to his room was closed, and light was leaking from underneath.
After knocking on the door, Cen Xue said, "I'm done washing."
Just go back to your bedroom.
*
Lying on the bed, surrounded by silence, Cen Xue hugged the pillow and grabbed a corner of the pillowcase.
Only then could he calm down and think about something.
In fact, Yan Zijiao was not the first person to ask him about his future plans.
As early as when I was in the hospital——
His so-called fan club organized an application to visit him in the hospital.
Cen Xue always found it difficult to refuse other people's kindness, so he agreed.
The people who came were several managers of the fan club, including the fan club member Xu Wenwen. Cen Xue still remembered her and smiled deliberately when she saw her.
Several little girls surrounded him and asked him about his well-being.
How are your injuries? Are you feeling unwell? Are you still used to staying in the hospital?
I'm so glad your injury isn't serious. Everyone's sorry you can't debut, but no matter how you're doing, we're all happy! By the way, could you write a repo about visiting someone in their hospital?
Cen Xue: "Re...what's repo?"
They were talking at once, giving their thoughts and feedback on the event.
Cen Xue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that visiting her when she was sick could be considered an organized activity.
At this point, everyone had finished talking, and a moment of silence appeared in the originally bustling single ward. Then one of the girls said -
"Xiao Mi, will you continue to be an idol...a star?"
The tone was extremely nervous, even a little tearful.
Cen Xue was stunned, feeling a little guilty as if she had been touched.
How did they figure that out? Isn't that incredibly perceptive?
In fact, if Cen Xue were to become a fan himself, he would completely understand. From the fans' perspective, Cen Xue was suspected of having a legitimate job at the Fu family company, but after the first episode of the show, his screen time decreased rapidly, and it was obvious that he was not favored by the main cast.
The biggest flaw is that he has not signed a contract with any company.
No contract means no intention.
So the question just now was just a euphemism, and everyone knows the answer.
I just still have some hope left, waiting for Cen Xue's ultimatum.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Xu Wenwen took a deep breath and blocked the girl who was asking questions.
"Xiao Mi, we support you in whatever you want to do!"
The tone is firm.
"We are already very satisfied to see you again."
After they left, Cen Xue opened a personal official account.
He finally softened his heart and couldn't bear to disappoint his fans - it turns out that being a celebrity means having to bear so many concerns. He opened an account and promised them that even if he no longer participates in the circle, he would share more of his daily life.
As soon as the new account was opened, Fu Rouyun was the first and only one to follow him.
However, Lu Yanxi and Yan Pei soon heard the news and came over, becoming Cen Xue's second and third fans.
Because of their attention, CP fans "Youdian" and "Yiyi" smelled the sweet smell of "Kuaisui" and fought with "Rourouxuebing" for three days and three nights. The dispute ended with Cen Xue's rapidly expanding follow list -
Audition mentors, trainees who have opened accounts, hosts, title advertisers...
In short, I paid attention to everything I could.
In this way, the top three are no longer unique, and naturally there is nothing to fight for.
However, since this is the first time I have seen a small trainee with three big CPs at the same time——
Not to mention the two top stars, one of them was so angry that he almost appeared on the legal channel.
It's really annoying.
Their slogan is: Has your 1 ever fought bravely for your 0? Mine has!
The remaining one, the Ru Rou Xue Bing, was even more famous for its high price. They wanted everything the other two had, and doubled it! They created a lot of phenomenal lucky draws with forwarding amounts, which attracted countless passers-by to forward the prizes.
Because there were too many people who didn't know the inside story, the forwarding format finally became unified:
[What happened? I only think of kneading snow cakes!]
——Cen Xue’s name still left a mark in the hearts of many people, and it was impressive.
He even has a nickname that is not yet widely known: the bloody man.
Then again, although Cen Xue seemed to have retired from the entertainment industry, it stands to reason that she would be able to return to a peaceful life once her sick leave was over.
But he himself does not have a strong desire.
Cen Xue always felt that she owed the Fu family too much.
In the first year, his salary was fully advanced - the finance department used the excuse that the monthly salary paid simultaneously was considered as the year-end bonus in installments. He believed it at first, but later he felt it was wrong. Then he thought about the various preferential treatments he received because of Fu Rouyun, and felt that he owed her too much. To be honest, he was taking advantage of her too much.
If he continued like this, he was afraid that he would become a frog in boiling water and become more and more unreasonable.
He also dared not to master human nature.
Relying on the generous treatment from the Fu family, Cen Xue not only solved the emergency medical expenses of his relatives in the first year, but also bought a piece of land for a cemetery in S City. He also used his savings of the past three years to buy a new house for his mother and grandmother some time ago.
Not to mention that he got more comfort from Fu Rouyun.
Reason reminded him that this was wrong.
Cen Xue lay on the bed, repeatedly struggling with the idea of whether to leave the Fu family. Finally, he slept in a corner of the bed in a daze, hugging the pillow and fell asleep.
In his dream, he vaguely saw sunflowers.
It was as if someone was also thinking about him and came into his dream.
*
On the other side, the teahouse.
It was past business hours, and several waiters closed the shop and began to confirm sales and sort out logistics.
A new girl looked at the lighted private room and curiously asked the head waiter, "Isn't Mr. Lu leaving?"
The girl's face was still red at this time.
It was only her first day at work, and no one said that she would see Lu Yanxi and Yan Pei while working as a waitress in a teahouse!
Since she didn't follow the talent show, she naturally skipped Fu Rouyun and Cen Xue.
The foreman took a look and explained, "That's our second boss."
"He sometimes comes to the store and stays here until very late. Anyway, the private room is reserved for him, so we don't have to worry about it when we close the store."
But we have guests today, so we still have to clean up.
The foreman gave the newcomer instructions and went to the box.
"Mr. Lu, I'll take these."
It refers to the tea set left behind by Yan Pei and his companions.
The foreman asked, "Do you need a refill?"
Lu Yanxi looked at the teapot of bitter tea and twitched her lips.
Even though he can drink this flavor, it doesn't mean he likes it.
but--
He pointed at Yan Pei's tea set and said, "After washing this, please send it to my house."
The foreman actually worked as a chef in the Lu family.
Since celebrities rarely go home, she felt bad about receiving the salary, so she simply switched to a job in a teahouse after being introduced, and has since lived a satisfying and fulfilling working life.
Therefore, she was familiar with the Lu family's situation and other Lu family helpers, and could handle some matters directly.
Before the foreman could respond, Lu Yanxi said, "For Puff."
Foreman: "...Puff?"
Oh, I just said it to Axue today.
Lu Yanxi rubbed his brows and said with a hint of tiredness: "Lu Chenggang."
"I understand." You should have told her earlier. As soon as she mentioned Lu Chenggang, she knew it was the cat.
But Lu Yanxi was not finished yet, and pointed at the one Fu Rouyun had used: "This one is for Lu Chengtie."
Yes, in addition to two members named Cheng Gang, the Lu family also has one named Cheng Tie.
But Cheng Tie has no relationship with the human Cheng Gang, but has a grudge with the cat Cheng Gang.
Lu Chengtie is the dog that Puff ran out to catch blindly.
The cat is good, giving Lu Yanxi a chance to have both a cat and a dog. The person is also good, adopting the dog.
In the blink of an eye, the brothers Cheng Gang and Cheng Tie had two more sets of tea sets as dining bowls. The foreman was not curious about how a dog could use a Buffy glass to eat and drink.
Maybe this is the style of celebrities.
Although there is a greater possibility of hatred.
The foreman put it away quickly and waited for the third instruction as if he had a premonition.
Sure enough, Lu Yanxi pointed at Cen Xue and said, "Send this set home too."
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
The foreman asked, "Who is it for?"
Lu Yanxi closed her eyes: "...Let me use it. Put it in my collection cabinet."
After all the storms, the calm foreman said: "Understood."
Lu Yanxi: "Get out now."
Foreman: "It's pretty fast."
When he was the only one left in the box again, Lu Yanxi breathed a sigh of relief.
He was about to unfold the note on the phone -
The cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Yanxi, there's something wrong with the movie you're about to join."
The caller was agent Zhang Yan.
Now that Lu Yanxi's work notice is ready, Zhang Yan has asked several assistants to stay with him, while he himself focuses on company affairs.
The company where Lu Yanxi works now was acquired by his father Lu Fengjun after decades of involvement in the industry, and it is equivalent to his own property.
He has already finished filming his role as a lawyer, and with his tight schedule, he will soon join the crew of his next movie.
The movie is a rather special category, but generally speaking, it can be considered a martial arts movie.
Lu Yanxi plays the protagonist, a so-called successful hero.
"The actor who originally brought in the money to play the mute male role quit and went to play the fourth male lead in a popcorn idol drama."
At this point, Zhang Yan snorted contemptuously.
Just because the mute man's appearance was not as sophisticated as in idol dramas, they gave up the opportunity to appear on the screen, not to mention that the script of the movie was carefully selected by them, which would only make it more popular. How short-sighted.
But the problem is that if you stop doing it, not only will you lose some of your investment.
Zhang Yan said with a headache, "This is going to be a big problem. We can't keep up the funds. Although we can save some money, the effect will definitely be greatly reduced... Although our company can make up for it if it really doesn't work, it will take on greater risks, and we will have to find a new actor for the role of the mute man..."
After complaining a few words, Zhang Yan continued to give instructions.
"The crew's joining date will probably be postponed, and all subsequent work will be rearranged. I'll sort it out and send it to Panpan's phone. Remember to confirm it."
"Also, where are you now? Give me your location."
"……Hello?"
The agent repeated doubtfully, "Yanxi, are you listening?"
"Are you okay? Talk back."
Lu Yanxi delayed for a few seconds before replying: "...It's okay."
Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "You're going to scare me to death."
She thought Lu Yanxi had taken those complaints to heart, and quickly said, "Even if there's a problem, it's not a big deal. Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Just focus on acting."
"Okay," Lu Yanxi said perfunctorily, "I'm in the teahouse."
Zhang Yan: "Teahouse? You really should go less often. There was a young artist photographed today, and I saw the street outside the teahouse in the background. It's a good thing you weren't photographed. Otherwise, you'd be used to ride on the popularity of a 76th-tier celebrity, and the PR would be unnecessary."
Lu Yanxi, who knew who the so-called little artist was: "..."
Zhang Yan is a very thoughtful agent.
But one thing is certain, he grew up under the care of Zhang Yan. Although she is not Lu Yanxi's mother, her identity is no longer just that of an agent.
Therefore, every time we communicate, there will always be more content other than work involved.
It's like the nagging and admonition of an elder.
Lu Yanxi responded with a few words, but he really wasn't in the mood, so he found an excuse to hang up the phone.
Things like the film's delay, announcement adjustments, and investment problems all slipped smoothly from his ears without entering his mind.
His eyes were filled with the note in his hand.
To confirm, he also called up the "unknown contact" in his phone - the phone number that Cen Xue used during the audition, and checked it carefully for comparison.
…No matter how I look at it, the two numbers don’t match at all.
Originally, the suggestion today to leave a phone number to arrange to see Puff was just to provoke the other two people present.
He already had the contact information, but it had not been made public, Lu Yanxi thought.
But now that he has got the second number, it is very problematic.
As perceptive as he was, he immediately realized that the number of "Unknown Contact" was not Cen Xue's official contact number.
In other words—
The secret between us still exists.
That’s great. Lu Yanxi’s heartbeat gradually quickened, and the shackles of immorality became even stronger.
Even if it's just a simple "friend".
They can still contact each other behind their current partner's back.
It turns out that being a third party who destroys relationships can also be so happy, he sighed, is this the superiority brought by the sense of being special?
He gradually began to understand.
