Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Think about where you went wrong
It's human nature to want to appear flawless in front of the person you like.
After taking the first look at Lu Yanxi's upper body, Cen Xue clearly noticed that the man's breathing had changed and became a little tense, and the lines on his body became deeper and more obvious.
But he had a good reputation and was still caught off guard when he spoke.
"Axue, come in and sit down. Wait for me."
The wardrobe was just opposite the door. He reached out, pulled the bathrobe into his arms and closed the door.
The precarious bath towel fell down at the moment the door was closed, and half of it was stuck outside and blocked by the door. Lu Yanxi had to open the door a crack and kick the towel in.
With a crackling sound, the wardrobe fell to the ground.
The chain reaction goes on smoothly, leaving people speechless.
Cen Xue squatted down, hung the clothes hanger again, and walked into Lu Yanxi's room.
The hotel is not big and it can be seen at a glance. A corner of the bed was lifted up, and a few clean clothes were placed on it. These should be what Lu Yanxi originally planned to change into, but unfortunately, with Cen Xue's sudden visit, he only had the bathrobe to protect himself.
After placing the things Panpan asked her to buy on the small coffee table, Cen Xue used her fingertips to push aside the curtains, leaving a gap.
Below is the brightly lit street scene at night.
There's no problem with the front, so the problem is the back.
What was on Lu Yanxi's back? It couldn't be some long-standing boil or a large abscess. Cen Xue was amused by her own irritation. Such a thing was too cheap and didn't fit at all.
If he had asked directly—
The person in the bathroom came out, wrapped tightly in a bathrobe, and was so careful to wipe every trace of water off his body that there was no wet sound in his footsteps.
Lu Yanxi took a can of cold drink from the refrigerator for him, opened the pull ring, and placed it in front of the small coffee table.
He: “I’ll pay more attention next time.”
What to pay attention to?
Remember to change clothes before coming out of the bathroom?
These words made Cen Xue, the uninvited tenant, seem offended.
Among the pile of clothes on the bed was a piece of fabric that was obviously underwear.
Cen Xue knew that Lu Yanxi was now unemployed, and he should be the one who felt more uncomfortable.
But Cen Xue only cared about one thing—Lu Yanxi didn't seem to want to say it.
The silence stretched for a while, and Lu Yanxi waited for Cen Xue to speak. He didn't use a hair dryer, and the hair that he had just wiped was covered with water droplets, which stuck to his neck and didn't fall off. He looked a little aggrieved, waiting for the decision of the only person who could control him.
Cen Xue didn't want the main character of the crew to get sick, so she asked, "Why hire a nude stand-in?"
Lu Yanxi stood, leaning against the table fixed to the wall, "Because... I'm a little tired."
Cen Xue: "You're lying."
Lu Yanxi's expression remained unchanged as she lowered her eyes slightly. "You've seen Director Liu's work pace. Tonight is the only time he's had a break recently. Ah Xue, you might not understand filming very well. A stunt double like this can help, and it can actually save me some energy..."
"Then why don't you ask for a stunt double?"
Cen Xue walked over to Lu Yanxi's side. His fingertips sank into the soft flesh under her shoulder through the fuzzy material of her bathrobe, but he couldn't feel anything. "You know how much you talk every time you want to hide something?"
Lu Yanxi shut her mouth.
"If you don't want to talk about it, then it has something to do with me."
It has nothing to do with intelligence. This is an equation that Cen Xue has captured. Everything Lu Yanxi thinks of is revealed.
The man's mouth tightened a little more.
At that moment, Cen Xue was in a trance and thought she saw Sheng Tianque.
A taciturn and uncommunicative man who survives only by relying on the last flicker of candlelight in his heart.
Lu Yanxi is becoming more and more like him.
Including the continuous work under high pressure, he inevitably lost weight. Cen Xue once thought that he was a very gentle person from the inside out - because his facial features always had just the right dullness, with almost no sharp lines, and when the bones gradually became more prominent, the cold and hard parts of the bones began to float up.
There was a coldness on his face that even the wind and sand could not stain.
They were in a stalemate, and Lu Yanxi couldn't even say the "I'm sorry" that she often said.
Cen Xue was a little unhappy.
*
Many people in the crew haven't rested yet tonight.
Liu He's room was on the top floor. If you put your ear close to the door, you could hear intermittent conversations coming from inside.
After a while, as if an agreement had been reached, laughter was heard from inside.
After a while, the door opened and Liu He walked the person to the door.
"I'm old, so I won't take you down," he lied with his eyes wide open. He was the most energetic person in the entire crew. "His room is on the fourth floor. Why don't you give him half a day off so you can catch up."
"No, how can I disturb the crew's progress?" The man smiled and said cheerfully, "I'll call him later and see if we can have a midnight snack tonight."
Liu He teased the younger generation, "You can eat, but he can't. If your face gets swollen tomorrow, I'll come find you and fine you."
The man shrugged. "They've already paid tens of millions in fines...! You can just take the deduction from this, Director Liu."
Liu He laughed, "Eating Cen Xue until she's fat wouldn't be enough."
After a few pleasantries, they dispersed.
Liu He returned to the house. His old age was just an excuse. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt very refreshed. After all, he had just negotiated the investment that was lacking due to Li Keyi's absconding. The entire crew suddenly became rich.
Spending money, he had a lot of operations in his mind that had not been implemented in the early stages due to financial problems, and he wanted to spend money lavishly!
The first step is to change the script back.
Call the assistant to notify the screenwriters and ask them to come up for a meeting.
Suddenly, there was a wailing sound from the screenwriter's room. The big devil really never stopped for a moment!
On the other side, the man who said goodbye to Liu He entered the elevator and pressed the button for the fourth floor.
The elevator was old and had no signal. He already knew the destination, but when he reached the door, the phone was almost connected.
So he tapped his index finger twice and said to the other end of the phone: "Brother, I have a surprise for you, open the door quickly——"
The door opened at just the right moment, revealing a strange and puzzled face.
The eagerness on Fu Rouyun's face disappeared in an instant. He took a step back to check the room number and found that he had chosen the right one.
Xiaoda: "Who...who are you looking for?"
Cen Xue's voice also came from the receiver: "I'm at someone else's place, go in and wait for me first."
"Okay."
After receiving the order, Fu Rouyun rudely brushed past Xiaoda and squeezed in. His domineering behavior was completely different from his obedient behavior. He also remembered to hand the phone to Xiaoda, who listened to Cen Xue's words and left.
This place is too small.
Fu Rouyun looked around and found that the hardship was no less than that in the audition dormitory. He didn't want to sit on the bed. He felt a little dirty in the clothes he was wearing after a day of travel, but there were some things on the only chair.
He would not touch anything that Cen Xue put there.
After walking around the room for a few times, only a minute or two passed. Fu Rouyun leaned against the door and listened for a while. After making sure there were no footsteps outside, he decided to reach for the wardrobe.
…
A few minutes ago.
Another untimely call.
The ringing of the bell broke the deadlock. They didn't move at first, but their expressions flickered a little.
This scene is really... too familiar.
Lu Yanxi was also wondering, why is it that every time she is alone, there is always an ungrateful person who comes to disturb her?
And it's the same one.
He moved the corners of his mouth, but found himself very stiff.
He couldn't act as pitifully as he did last time. Realizing this, Lu Yanxi's breathing became panicked.
Seeing that Cen Xue was about to make a move, he could only hurriedly grab his wrist. He had already run out of ideas.
Cen Xue tilted the screen and saw Fu Rouyun's name clearly.
"Let go." He said in a cold voice.
Lu Yanxi said with difficulty: "Why is it always——"
"You don't want to talk about it anyway," Cen Xue glanced at him sideways before answering the call, "so why should I be partial?"
Cen Xue wanted to push him a little, as he had a feeling that he had uncovered a deeply hidden secret.
If Lu Yanxi doesn't tell me this secret, then I'll force her to tell it, even though telling her might not necessarily make her happier.
But Cen Xue still wanted to know - it was probably because Lu Yanxi left without saying goodbye seven years ago that made him have an inexplicable desire to control everything about this person.
There's something wrong with me.
The tip of her tongue pressed against her teeth, and then Cen Xue said, "Think about where you went wrong."
Now it was easy to break free from Lu Yanxi's hand.
When she answered the phone, Cen Xue hadn't left yet. Lu Yanxi kept her arms in the air, listening to Cen Xue's softer voice on the other end of the phone like a self-torture.
"Surprise? What surprise?"
"...Why are you here? I don't think I told you where we were filming."
"Forget it, go to the room and wait for me. I'll ask Xiaoda to go back... Well, it's only a few minutes, how can it be a day off?"
Bang.
The figure disappeared behind the door.
Lu Yanxi covered her face and let out a breath in frustration.
He messed up.
He had requested this secret contact identity in the first place, but he was too lax and made the other party unhappy.
Lu Yanxi was completely unaware that the half of her face that was revealed between her fingers, with her brows furrowed, looked exactly the same as when Sheng Tianque was worried on the set during the day.
*
Lu Yanxi's room is on the sixth floor, not far from the fourth floor.
It's just that the elevator was running a little slowly, and she just missed a train, so Cen Xue spent some extra time.
Before, when Xiaoda was here, he didn’t bring the room card, but now that Fu Rouyun is here, it doesn’t matter anymore.
As soon as he knocked once, the door lock was turned open, and Cen Xue was thrown into the embrace and took a few steps back.
"elder brother!"
Fu Rouyun hugged his waist tightly and buried his head in Cen Xue's neck. His skin was instantly heated by her excited breath.
The puppy's voice was so happy that it was shaking, and he kept repeating: "I miss you so much, I miss you so much!"
Due to inertia, Cen Xue staggered and changed her angle, and took Fu Rouyun into the room.
He was a little scared just now.
"Why did you dye your hair back?"
I almost didn't recognize him.
In Cen Xue's impression, Fu Rouyun still had milky golden hair. He had his hair re-dyed several times when it was about to fade.
But as soon as he returned to the Fu family, he changed back to his original state.
Fu Rouyun, whose hair had returned to black, finally looked up and said flatteringly, "Isn't it pretty? Doesn't it suit me?"
“…”
No matter how you look at it, black hair accounts for a larger proportion of your life, and it’s not a new hair color.
Cen Xue paused for a few seconds, then coaxed him, "Not bad."
He continued, "Why did you decide to come to the set? To visit the crew?"
Fu Rouyun shook his head: "I'm doing business."
"Business?"
"Yeah," he let go of Cen Xue, went into the room to get his bag, and offered it to her like a treasure, "Look."
"I'm the investor of this movie now. It's me—not the Fu family."
Fu Rouyun spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he had just gone out for a walk and bought a pack of tissues.
"Brother, do you want to sign with my company?"
