Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Pity is caring
Cen Xue temporarily became Lu Yanxi's neighbor.
The man was determined to help, saying that renting a house and clearing the land would be very tiring. However, when they opened the door, the house had already been cleaned and everything was in perfect order.
The entrance is even decorated with a ribbon welcoming guests.
As far as Lu Yanxi knows, their property does not have this service.
"..." Cen Xue said silently, "I don't think I need any help."
Lu Yanxi: "He treats you very well."
Cen Xue: "There's nothing I can do. I can't refuse."
He said that if he didn't agree, Fu Rouyun would become even more difficult to deal with.
Lu Yanxi had clearly taken the other meaning and nodded as if nothing had happened: "Is that so?"
Is that so? It turns out that you love me to the point where you can’t refuse me…!
The miscommunication continued. Regardless, the person was standing right in front of him. Lu Yanxi took a deep breath and continued, "Axue, my password is..."
"Wait," Cen Xue stopped her, "You don't have to tell me."
Perhaps it was a psychological trauma, or perhaps the fact that "home" represented the private sphere, and obtaining the access code meant being able to invade other people's privacy at will. Cen Xue didn't want to obtain this "privilege" for the time being.
This is also a disguised request.
When Lu Yanxi said this, didn't she expect to get the password to Cen Xue's door?
Cen Xue didn't believe it.
However, Lu Yanxi always finds a way.
The next afternoon, Cen Xue received a message from him. They added each other on WeChat for convenience. The first message was a video, followed by a text message: Puff is hungry.
The video was clicked on, and in black and white infrared mode, the home camera was aimed at the living room of Lu Yanxi's house. Then there was a series of clicking and scratching sounds, and the camera was forced to change its angle and face a big, white cat's face.
Boss Puff pushed the food bowl forward and punched the camera with his cat fist.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The expression was very disdainful.
With two big lights flashing in his eyes, he attacked.
If the cat could talk, it would probably mean: Human, let’s have some food!
In less than a few seconds, Lu Chengtie, the black dog, also joined in the fun, howling to the sky in rhythm with the Cat Fist.
...I have to say, although the picture is black and white, it has no effect on their original fur color at all.
Cen Xue looked at the Black and White Devils and fell into deep thought.
Soon Lu Yanxi sent another message.
[Can you please do me a favor? I thought I could get back on time, so I didn't ask anyone to come to my house, and the event ended up running overtime...]
Cen Xue: [Let’s get to the point.]
Lu Yanxi: [It's okay for Cheng Tie to be hungry. Puff is old and needs supplements. Put them on the cupboard with the cat food. The access code is 145987.]
It turns out that this wave is a self-torture tactic.
Also, apologize to Cheng Tie who is okay with being hungry.
In the end, they still got the access to Lu Yanxi's house. Cen Xue was a little angry. This was an obvious conspiracy, you and I knew it, but we also knew that with Puff as the cat in hand, the outcome would be decided with just one move.
Cen Xue: [I understand.]
When I arrived at Lu Yanxi's house, I found that various proportions of cat food supplements were already posted on the cupboard. It turned out that he had planned this in advance.
"Stinky cat, it's my fault that I can't let go of you."
Cen Xue pinched Puff's big face in revenge. Its cheeks were so swollen that its original bag was about to collapse to the floor tiles. No one knew what was wrong with its hunger. It always looked like it hadn't eaten for ten minutes.
But what surprised him a little was that Lu Chengtie was very close to him.
It was only their second meeting, but this big black dog liked to follow him around. When he lowered his head, his two black hole-like eyes would meet his, and it was hard not to touch the dog's head.
But if Cen Xue touches it, the dog will be beaten by the cat.
Beat up.
Cen Xue: "..."
What a special ecological relationship.
Later, I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but there were always a few times when Lu Yanxi couldn’t go home immediately, and Cen Xue went to help feed him. Gradually, the pair of slippers he wore were placed regularly at the entrance.
In addition to cleaning up poop and feeding cats and dogs at homes, he has two other things to do.
The first thing is the newly assigned assistant.
"Hello, Brother Cen. I'm Brother Lu's assistant. Just call me Panpan."
The girl pushed the boy carrying the bags forward and said, "This is Xiaoda, the assistant assigned to you by the company. You can ask him to do anything!"
Xiaoda has a good physique, but he is not good at speaking.
His introversion was almost written on his face: "Hello, Brother Cen."
"Hello, hello," Cen Xue subconsciously tried to take the bag from his hand, but was dodged. "What's in this...bag?"
Pan Pan: "I'll need it when I join the crew in a few days. Because we're at the Gobi Film and Television Base, the temperature difference is huge, so we need to prepare things like portable chairs, fans, blankets, hydrating spray, and ice cream."
While Pan Pan asked Xiao Da to put his things down and start the connection work, he secretly looked at Cen Xue.
——A man who made her boss willing to humble herself.
Wow, although I was amazed when I watched the stage straight shot before, how come the impact of face to face is doubled——
Cen Xue was dressed casually today, wearing loose short-sleeved shirt and shorts in the same color. Her hair was easy to style, so she didn't cut it and tied it into a small bun. Her layered hair fell on her cheeks, and the white and black cat and dog hair on her body was very obvious.
Just... very homely.
When I talk about home, the first thing that comes to mind is... married women.
In order to find out who Cen Xue was, Panpan browsed through all the trending posts related to him, and four big words from a certain post instantly emerged in his mind: have, stock, mother, sex.
Help!
If you read on, I’ll recommend more!
Pan Pan shook his head violently. He opened his eyes and saw Cen Xue's face magnified before him. He was very concerned: "Are you okay? Did you have heatstroke?"
If it were her mother, the next sentence would definitely be: Drink some Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid.
Cen Xue: "Would you like some Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid?"
Panpan took a breath: "——!"
I'm sorry, Brother Lu, I underestimated this person's charm.
It was only natural for her to repent happily and be fascinated by Cen Xue.
Within half an hour of meeting, Panpan's mentality changed from "that man" to "excusable".
"No, no, no!" Pan Pan pounded his chest, "I'm very strong."
"Sorry, Brother Cen, I might need something," a darker arm stretched out from the side, "I seem to be a little... unable to do it..."
When I looked at Xiaoda's face, I saw that it was dark and red.
No, it’s not that his skin color is so dark that nothing unusual can be seen, but how can he be so introverted that he can tolerate heatstroke?
Pan Pan: "Ahhh! Lie down quickly!"
Xiao Da said faintly: "That's not the case..."
An extroverted and lively but experienced person.
An introvert who is resistant to pressure but a novice.
In a sense, the Panda Panda duo is very complementary.
Cen Xue got some Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid for Xiaoda. She had a hunch that once they actually got to the crew, it would be hard to say who would be whose assistant. It seemed like a mixed division of labor would be better, right?
As for the second thing, it’s the script.
"Brother Cen, this is the bound paper version, but Director Liu likes live flyers, so just take a look at it. We'll mainly use the online version, so check for updates at any time."
Pan Pan was efficient and made all the arrangements for Cen Xue in no time.
"The Hero on the Tenth Day of the Lunar New Year" is a time-traveling martial arts film with some fantasy elements in it.
Sheng Tianque, the number one hero in the martial arts world, has mastered a unique martial art that is invincible. However, only he knows that this martial art can hurt his own enemy by a thousand but not his own. He only has one move left to use, and if he uses it, all his veins will be destroyed, and he will become an ordinary person who can be slaughtered at will.
In order to survive, he searched for secret doors in every possible way, but to no avail. Until an expert told him that he could find a way to survive if he reached the end of the northwest on the tenth day of the first lunar month.
At this time, he was in the far corner of the southeast.
The glimmer of hope for survival is far away.
To reach the location pointed out by the expert before the tenth day of the first lunar month, it would take several half a year even if the straight-line distance was taken. Without further delay, Sheng Tianque set off immediately.
However, someone leaked the news that he would not live long, and countless enemies came to claim his life along the way.
Sheng Tianque had no choice but to take action. He thought he would die in the middle of his survival, but when he opened his eyes, time went back to the time when he was about to set out!
Although the walking route cannot be changed, he avoided the cause of death in his previous life according to the memory of his previous life, but because of the butterfly effect, new accidents will always occur.
So he was forced to reincarnate again and again.
The tenth day of the first lunar month has become a time that Sheng Tianque can never arrive at.
The further he went, the more reincarnations he experienced. At this moment, Sheng Tianque was full of obsession. He no longer knew whether he was going on to reach his destination and find a way to survive, or to continue to persevere in order to "pass" the various challenges along the way.
According to the plot setting, the protagonist's route must pass through a desert. Every time Sheng Tianque reincarnates, he will not only encounter enemies, but also meet fixed characters, which will lead to new stories or side lines.
The mute boy played by Cen Xue is one of these fixed NPCs.
The mute boy has no name and works as a servant in an inn in the desert. He has no lines and mainly serves as an anchor for his appearance in each reincarnation.
There is no key plot that highlights the whole story, but it is a must-have experience point (ah), serving as a punctuation mark, and the camera is more focused.
The difficulty lies in memorizing the different sign language lines for each reincarnation.
However, this was not difficult for Cen Xue, after all, he had learned sign language since he was a child because of Cen Jing.
Cen Xue spent the remaining time before joining the crew practicing the coherence of his lines, but over time he discovered a problem -
This character is given too little attention, and even the simplest details become difficult problems to overcome.
He was a little unsure whether the presentation was what the director wanted.
It seems like something is missing that can reflect the character's characteristics.
He had no choice but to ask Lu Yanxi about this. Lu Yanxi was clearing up the work that had piled up due to the adjustment of the team's joining time. She was nowhere to be seen all day, and the message he sent was not replied until the evening.
Lu Yanxi: [Sorry, Xue, please come directly to my house.]
Perhaps because she was a little anxious, Cen Xue didn't think too much about it and opened the door with the password he gave her, just like feeding cats and dogs as usual.
After changing into slippers, Cen Xue looked up to find Lu Yanxi. The moment their eyes met—
How could Lu Yanxi have changed so much in just a few days?
He wasn't much thinner, nor had he ever been sick, but his complexion showed a sense of weakness and fatigue from within, while his facial features were unusually firm, revealing a persistence that was the opposite of his.
The body has also become more upright, but because it is too upright, it makes people feel that it is just a rigid body supported by a strong spirit, exuding a sense of precariousness.
It seemed as if just forcing him to make a move would cause him to completely collapse.
This is clearly——
Sheng Tianque, the number one in the martial arts world, is about to die and has to embark on a journey to survive!
Cen Xue was stunned by the shock, and the fog in her heart suddenly became clear.
After just one encounter, he was drawn into the play by Lu Yanxi.
Ordinary people might not be able to adapt that quickly, but Cen Xue is the type of person who can quickly integrate into the environment as long as he is given the right environment.
Lu Yanxi is worthy of being the movie emperor. He alone is enough to give Cen Xue such an atmosphere.
Seeing Cen Xue, Lu Yanxi's originally immersed state wavered a little. When he closed his eyes and opened them again, the contradictory aura of decadence yet vigor in his body just now disappeared completely, and he returned to the gentle Lu Yanxi.
"...I've been trying to find the feel of the character lately," Lu Yanxi explained belatedly. "Axue, don't be too scared if my tone changes later on or something."
Lu Yanxi is an experiential person.
Once substituted, the effect is unprecedentedly good, but it also has disadvantages.
As I become more and more integrated with the character, it becomes more difficult to break away from the role towards the end of filming.
While in the hospital with a fractured bone, Cen Xue browsed some entertainment-related information, especially updates about her two exes. One of them mentioned that Lu Yanxi was photographed going to a psychological clinic because she had trouble acting.
Since there were no pictures, his fans insisted that it was a rumor.
But now Cen Xue began to believe that it might be true.
"fine."
For a moment he subconsciously raised his hand to answer in sign language, and then realized that he was not the mute boy. Cen Xue was a little amused and confused. She didn't expect that the problem of role interpretation was automatically solved the first time she met Lu Yanxi.
He said, "You are really amazing. You must have studied very hard."
A hint of disbelief flashed across Lu Yanxi's face, but she suppressed her excitement.
It was just a compliment, but he acted as if he had obtained some precious treasure.
No, that's not right. The blood in Lu Yanxi's heart accelerated and flowed throughout his body. He just read a subtle sense of pity in Cen Xue's words.
Being pitiful means caring.
He cares about me.
Lu Yanxi found the sweetness.
