Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Ye Li and Xia Nuan
The green light had already come on, but the car in front was still motionless.
It is the morning rush hour again, and the noise is so loud that I can hear the scolding of car owners and the honking of cars.
After hearing the conversation between these car owners, Xia Nuan realized that there were two cars in front that had been in an accident, and they were blocking the middle of the road, tightly blocking the vehicles on one side.
There were no casualties, but both cars sustained some exterior damage. The two owners had been arguing with each other for a long time, blaming each other. Even with a traffic jam behind them, they refused to move, waiting for the traffic police to make a decision.
There were cars in front, behind, to the left, to the right, and on all four sides. The car was completely surrounded, with no way out.
Yu Lilan cursed for a while, letting out some anger, but it was no use; the car hadn't moved an inch. She checked the time. It was only 8:05. As long as the traffic jam lasted less than 20 minutes, she wouldn't be late.
Yu Lilan looked up at the rearview mirror inside the car and saw Xia Nuan listening to music with her eyes closed.
Yu Lilan coughed lightly. "Xiao Xia, did Director Su Yuzhou say anything to you afterwards? He just told us that you weren't answering his calls, nothing else. If I hadn't finally confirmed that he was indeed Su Yuzhou, I definitely wouldn't have called you."
Xia Nuan opened her eyes.
Yu Lilan wore a somewhat reserved smile on her face. "Xiao Xia, I might have been a little aggressive at the time, please don't be angry. You know I'm a straightforward person. By the way, you and Lou Su, I—"
Xia Nuan curled the corners of her lips. It seemed that Yu Lilan really didn't know that she had won the leading female role in Su Yuzhou's new movie.
"Sister Yu, you didn't know Lou Su would turn things around at the time, so your attitude is normal. You were present when Lou Su and I signed the contract, so you didn't have to be so cautious. As for Director Su Yuzhou, I called him later to apologize, and it won't have any impact on the company."
Yu Lilan knew Xia Nuan was being sarcastic, but she just laughed dryly, "Yeah, yeah."
Xia Nuan lowered her head and played with one of her hands. She said in a light and nonchalant tone, "Sister Yu, you forgot to tell me yesterday. When was this advertising contract signed? Why did you only tell me last night?"
Yu Lilan pulled up the corners of her mouth and smiled. She keenly sensed that Xia Nuan was not in a good mood at the moment. "This, actually, happened not long ago, just a few days ago. Wasn't Lou Su just exposed at that time - although it has been clarified now."
Yu Lilan clasped her hands together, "But the company didn't know at the time. They thought if you were implicated, the ad wouldn't be released. So they didn't tell you at the time."
Xia Nuan's smile was filled with mockery. She put on her headphones again and closed her eyes.
Yu Lilan's eyes were filled with anger. Xia Nuan was hooking up with Lou Su, but they were just contract lovers. Now she had become so disrespectful to her. Yu Lilan sneered silently. She was also a fool. She had actually been fooled by Xia Nuan's obedient behavior during this period.
There was no way Xia Nuan would renew her contract with the company. Yu Lilan's eyes turned completely cold, and she no longer had the heart to talk to Xia Nuan.
If there are no traffic accidents on the road, even if there is a slight traffic jam, the two can reach the filming location before 8:40.
But we've been stuck in traffic for thirty minutes, and it's already eight forty in the morning. The scheduled photo shoot is at nine in the morning, which is still twenty minutes away. Even if we start driving right now, we'll barely make it.
"Sister Yu, why don't you give them a call? We might be late."
Yu Lilan gave a fake smile. She did know the phone number of the director of the commercial shoot, but Xia Nuan was so unscrupulous now that she didn't take her agent seriously. Why should she make Xia Nuan feel good?
Being late and acting like a big shot just after gaining some fame, this negative news doesn't suit Xia Nuan very well. Since she no longer wants to be an artist under him, there is no need for him to protect her reputation.
Yu Lilan apologized hypocritically, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxia, I don't have the other person's contact information. We had originally set out early, but who could have imagined that we would encounter something like this and be stuck here for so long."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of sirens in the distance, which became louder and louder. It seemed that the traffic police had arrived.
Traffic police stood at the intersection directing traffic, and even though the flow of people was fast, they did not leave the street until ten minutes later.
By the time we arrived at the shooting location, we were already twenty minutes late.
The director's face opposite him was almost as black as charcoal.
"What the hell is wrong with you? You're twenty minutes late." The director's eyes were blazing as he stared at Xia Nuan and Yu Lilan in a very bad tone. "If you didn't want to do this, you shouldn't have kept us hanging and asking for more money. Now that the pay has gone up, you're acting like big shots again. You're really good."
Yu Lilan smiled but said nothing, showing no intention of explaining. Her expression made the person in charge, who was already in a bad mood, even angrier.
Xia Nuan took a step forward and glanced at the badge on his chest. "Director Zhang, it's indeed our fault for being late today. Although we left almost an hour early, we didn't expect to encounter a traffic accident on the way and were stuck there for forty minutes."
Director Zhang's anger subsided a bit when he saw Xia Nuan admitting her mistake, but he continued, "One person waits twenty minutes, so twenty people wait four hundred minutes. Doesn't your agent have my phone number? Why didn't you call and tell me? That way, we wouldn't have to worry about it."
Xia Nuan glanced at the silent Yu Lilan. Didn't Yu Lilan say she didn't have a phone number? Xia Nuan narrowed her eyes slightly, then smiled and said, "Director Zhang, I reminded you at the time, but my agent was probably too anxious at the time and forgot about your contact information."
Director Zhang is also a veteran in the industry. Upon hearing Xia Nuan's words, his eyes flickered between Xia Nuan and Yu Lilan, and his tone softened a little, "Normally, I wouldn't be so angry. But today is different. The photographer who took the photos today is a friend of our company's president."
"Director Zhang, thank you for reminding me today. What's the photographer's name?"
Director Zhang sighed with a stiff face, "He's a foreigner. I only know his Chinese name as Chu Sheng. Let me take you to find him. If you can't calm him down, I think this shoot is over."
"Thank you very much."
Although the director surnamed Zhang didn't say anything else, Xia Nuan could already tell from his tone that this foreigner named Chu Sheng was the most important person present.
But Chu Sheng? Xia Nuan felt that the name sounded familiar.
Director Zhang led Xia Nuan to the door of the lounge, "This is it, I'll be leaving first." Director Zhang gestured to Xia Nuan, then left in a flash.
Is this foreigner named Chu Sheng so scary?
Xia Nuan couldn't help but swallow nervously. Never mind. Regardless of the reason, being twenty minutes late today was indeed her fault. She hoped Mr. Chu would be magnanimous and forgive her sooner rather than later before filming.
"Mr. Chu, I'm Xia Nuan, may I ask——"
Before he could finish his words, the door opened.
Xia Nuan: "Mr. Chu, I didn't mean to be late today."
Xia Nuan was interrupted. The blond man opposite her spoke broken Mandarin. His eyes, like the sea, stared directly into Xia Nuan's. His expression was seemingly calm, but in reality, he said, "I don't understand Chinese."
Xia Nuan switched to fluent English and recounted what had just happened. She felt sorry for it and hoped to be forgiven.
Chu Sheng: [I understand. We can go shoot now.]
It seems this guy doesn't have a bad temper, maybe he just can't stand others being late. But with his blond hair and blue eyes and his ability to take photos, he's pretty much like the second-in-command character in novels.
However, Gong Er appears very late in the novel, when the two protagonists are about to be together. He seems to regard Lou Su as his muse and pursues her fervently as soon as he appears.
But it shouldn't be that time yet. Xia Nuan raised her eyebrows. She probably wouldn't let her meet him in advance just by looking at him.
Xia Nuan shrugged her shoulders and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter. Whether it is true or not, it has nothing to do with her."
During the filming, Chu Sheng held the camera and only uttered simple instructions: "Look up and look at me."
That gaze was extremely aggressive.
After Xia Nuan finished taking the flat pictures, Chu Sheng said: [Ms. Xia Nuan, please wait a moment.]
[What can I do for you?] Xia Nuan subconsciously tensed up. This person didn't look particularly serious, but he gave Xia Nuan a strong sense of aggression.
[Would I have a chance to have dinner with you tonight? ]
The blonde hair gleamed in the light, and now there was only Xia Nuan in those affectionate blue eyes. The smile on his face was sunny and bright, as if the expressionless man was not him.
Foreigners are really direct. Xia Nuan curled her lips inwardly.
Xia Nuan smiled, the dimples on her cheeks flickering, and she refused bluntly, "Sorry, I already have an appointment tonight."
Chu Sheng: [This is my business card. If Miss Xia Nuan wants to contact me, you can call me anytime. I'm here lately.]
Xia Nuan took it politely and her eyes saw his name, Eustace Kirken.
Was he really the top guy? She hadn't expected to actually meet him, but he was just like in the novels, flirting with everyone, even someone she'd just met. He seemed like a maniac, attracted to both men and women. He finally settled down after meeting Lou Su, but he still couldn't compare to Ye Li, and he left in disappointment.
Apart from the minor incident of being late in the morning, the filming of the commercial went smoothly.
Yu Lilan parked the car at Xia Nuan's community, but did not open the door and did not intend to let Xia Nuan get out.
Yu Lilan seemed to have decided to completely break off relations with Xia Nuan and didn't even bother pretending anymore. "I was thinking of asking the company to assign you an assistant in a few days, but now it seems like you don't need one anymore."
"Sister Yu, now that you've said that, how can I dare to ask for it?"
Yu Lilan laughed in anger, "If that's the case, don't expect the company to help you out if something happens to you in the future."
Xia Nuan opened the car door herself and left without looking back.
If something really happens, it would be quicker to daydream than to believe that the company will help her resolve it.
When Xia Nuan arrived at the door of her house, Ye Li was standing outside waiting for her.
Xia Nuan stood two meters away, staring at the door. Her expression changed from shock to surprise and then anger. "Why are you at my door again? And why did the security guard let you in so easily? I forgot to bring my pass and was stopped by the security guard."
Ye Li smiled innocently, "Maybe he thinks I look kind."
Xia Nuan curled her lips and said, "Tell me, what are you doing here again? Didn't I tell you not to come to me if you have nothing to do?"
By the way, why do Ye Li and Lou Su show no signs of being together? Could it be because I haven't broken up with Lou Su yet, so they are wary of each other?
Ye Li: "I didn't answer your calls, didn't reply your text messages, and didn't add me on WeChat."
Isn't this natural? She has no intention of remaining just friends with her ex-boyfriend after the breakup. Of course, not having any contact with him forever is the most consistent with her values.
Xia Nuan: "We're fine now. I think what I did was normal. Also, don't show up at my door like this again next time. This is my last warning. If you do it again, I'll call the police."
Ye Li smiled, "You won't."
Xia Nuan snorted coldly, "Get out of the way, I don't have time for you, I want to go home."
Ye Li lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling. "You didn't go home the night before last. Where did you go?"
The night before yesterday, when she and Lou Su ran away in the middle of the night. Xia Nuan blinked. No, how did Ye Li know that she was not at home?
Xia Nuan stared at him again and again, "Ye Li, how did you know I wasn't at home that day? Did you come that day too?"
Ye Li smiled faintly and said nothing.
Xia Nuan's expression changed. She was very familiar with Ye Li's expression. He didn't deny it. How could he know so clearly that she was not at home that day?
He couldn't possibly be here squatting every day. Xia Nuan suddenly had a bad suspicion. She turned around and looked at the door behind her. It was a neighbor she had never seen before.
"You live across from me?"
A smile slipped across Ye Li's lips. "I thought you would never find out."
Wait, Xia Nuan felt that her brain was a little confused, "I want to ask you a question, don't lie."
Ye Li looked at her dotingly, "Okay."
"Is the house I rented also yours?" Xia Nuan stared into his eyes, trying to find something else in them.
"It's my house."
Xia Nuan sneered, "No wonder you didn't object when I planned to rent a house two years ago."
Ye Li placed the bag in front of Xia Nuan's door. "It contains your favorite snacks. I wanted to leave them here and leave, but I thought you might not eat them, so I decided to wait for you here."
"No, take it away, I don't want to eat it." Xia Nuan refused coldly.
Ye Li's expression didn't change, he just blinked and said, "It's a snack from Fang Su Zhai."
At Fang Su Zhai, she would queue for three hours every time she wanted to buy something. Xia Nuan admitted that she was tempted for a moment.
"I told you, no need."
Xia Nuan pushed Ye Li away and said, "Don't stand here anymore. Go back to your home."
Ye Li lowered his head and said, "But I forgot to bring my keys, so I can't get into the house."
Xia Nuan smiled, her smile was particularly bright, "Then you should sleep outside for one night. It would be best if you freeze to death."
Lying on the bed, Xia Nuan tossed and turned.
Will Ye Li really fall in love with Lou Su? Why does he feel that Ye Li still likes him? Is she too narcissistic?
Xia Nuan pursed her lips and patted her face. Overthinking was pointless and only added to her worries. She didn't care what Ye Li thought. She had no intention of returning to her ex, especially one that was bound to turn against her later.
Speaking of which, Ye Li has changed a lot compared to before.
Five years ago, during the summer vacation of my junior year.
After Xia Nuan applied to stay on campus, she found a job in a cafe near the school.
She met Ye Li on the third day of her work, and after that, she saw him almost every day.
At that time, Ye Li had not yet worn plain glasses to appear more stable, nor did he wear a suit and tie like he does now.
At that time, he wore simple shirts, sometimes plain short-sleeved shirts, and his hair was slightly longer than it is now. Because Ye Li would appear in the cafe every afternoon, there were a lot of girls in the cafe during that time.
At that time, Xia Nuan was still wondering how much this person liked drinking coffee.
But she was just a worker in a coffee shop, so she just thought about it and let it go. She never thought that the two of them would have any intersection in the future.
The summer vacation lasts for two months, and Xia Nuan also worked in a cafe for two months.
As the first month was coming to an end, Ye Li and Xia Nuan finally started talking about something unrelated to coffee.
It was a rainy day, and the shop was practically empty. The downpour was so intense that all the free umbrellas had already been borrowed. As the shift was winding down, Xia Nuan and her colleagues were chatting idly.
"Come to think of it, that handsome guy didn't come today."
Xia Nuan was cleaning the cups. When she heard this, she looked up and asked, "Which handsome guy?"
"He's the one who looks really handsome and tall, but seems really unapproachable. He always sits by the window. Every time he comes, the girls in the store can't help but look at him."
Xia Nuan nodded, remembering that person, "Oh, it seems that he didn't show up."
My colleague jokingly teased, "Maybe he came here just for you. I've seen him steal glances at you many times."
Xia Nuan: "You're overthinking it. I guess he just likes drinking coffee."
As soon as Xia Nuan finished speaking, the wind chimes on the door rang.
Colleague: "It's strange that someone is still here at this hour. It's raining so hard, and the store will close in a minute."
After muttering to himself, the colleague looked up to see who was coming, patted Xia Nuan's shoulder, and whispered in her ear, "Speak of the devil, and he will appear."
The handsome boy put his umbrella in the storage box at the door. There were still traces of rain on his clothes. He didn't order coffee this time. When he walked to the coffee counter, it was exactly six o'clock.
Xia Nuan: "Sorry, sir, we are closed."
Xia Nuan looked at him strangely, "Sir?"
He seemed to be learning to speak for the first time, and he spoke awkwardly, "Did you bring an umbrella? It's raining heavily outside."
Xia Nuan was puzzled and asked why. She would check the weather forecast every day before going out. "I brought an umbrella."
"Well, just bring an umbrella. Be careful on the road. I'll be leaving first."
The colleague stared at Xia Nuan in amazement as she choked the innocent boy to death with just one sentence. They looked at Xia Nuan as if she were an alien, "That handsome guy is obviously interested in you. What you just said really put a gamble on it—"
Xia Nuan curled her lips, "Just because he's interested in me, should I treat him differently?"
The colleague shrugged, "You're right, but I really have a keen eye. I saw right away that he came every day just to see you. By the way, Xia Nuan, have you ever been in love? Why do you look so indifferent to everything?"
Xia Nuan sorted and put everything in order, "I'm single and not interested in love."
After that day, she never saw Ye Li appear in the cafe again.
The next day, Xia Nuan looked puzzled. Seeing Ye Li during the day was enough, but why did she dream about the time when she first met Ye Li? Xia Nuan sneered. Zhang Wuji's mother hadn't told the whole story. It's not that beautiful women are more likely to deceive people, but men are the same.
She was deceived by the initial impression left by Ye Li, thinking that this guy was a simple white moonlight, but who knew that he was a black-hearted devil.
"Rural Cottage" is back on air.
After the recent bloody storm on the Internet, the popularity of Pastoral House is now even higher than before.
[Wow, it’s finally airing again. Lou Su baby has suffered a lot during this period.]
[Hurry up, I want to see Lou Su]
[When did Xia Nuan and Lou Su break up?]
[I came to see Xia Nuan. She played the role of the concubine in "The Concubine Cannot Be Bullied" so well that I became a fan.]
[hhh, me too, I can’t get into the male and female protagonists at all, stepmother literature is the best]
[When did Lou Su and Xia Nuan break up]
[Stop posting about breakups, what does it have to do with you guys?]
[I saw that everyone was talking about Lou Suxianuan earlier, but poor Teacher Qin Linzheng, no one was calling for her.]
The live broadcast begins.
Three familiar faces stood in front of the courtyard door.
After the three of them packed their luggage, they sat in the courtyard to enjoy the cool air and chat.
But it was mainly Qin Linzheng and Xia Nuan who were talking, and Lou Su would occasionally chime in.
[Hahaha, he really loves it. Whenever Xia Nuan speaks, Lou Su's eyes will unconsciously look over.]
[The unintentional body movements are the sweetest. Look, Lou Su’s body is leaning towards Xia Nuan, ahhhhh]
[He loves her so much, he really loves her so much. From beginning to end, Teacher Qin could only see half of Lou Su’s face.]
[What we mean is, real couples are the best]
Qin Linzheng: "Xiao Xia, I watched your latest drama at home."
Xia Nuan's eyes lit up, "Teacher Qin, what do you think of my performance?"
[Lao Qin also watched "The Concubine's Daughter Cannot Be Bullied", which shocked me]
[Xia Nuan actually asked Qin Linzheng directly. What if Teacher Qin was just being polite and didn't actually read it?]
[Teacher Qin is not that kind of person. As a long-time fan of Teacher Qin, I feel that he likes Xia Nuan very much.]
[Xia Nuan’s performance in “The Concubine’s Daughter Cannot Be Bullied” is really good. As far as the episodes that have aired so far, I think the concubine played by Xia Nuan is really miserable. The person she likes doesn’t like her, and she even marries the father of the person she likes.]
[In the beginning, it was really true that beauty is justice. The eyes are really useless. It was clearly Xia Nuan who took the initiative to marry the male protagonist’s father. She is very scheming, okay?]
[Have so many people watched "The Concubine's Daughter"? Is it really good? I felt it was stupid after reading the introduction.]
[To be honest, it’s not that pretty, but Xia Nuan is a surprise, believe me]
Qin Linzheng: "Your emotional expression is quite accurate, but it's still a little immature and lacks a sense of depth. However, Xiaoxia, your emotional outbursts are very contagious, which is a strength."
[hhh, Lou Su's eyes lit up when he saw his wife being praised. Is he that proud?]
[I'm really impressed. This is a variety show. Can those who ship CPs please hold back and keep quiet? Lou Su is an individual. Please don't bring Xia Nuan into this.]
[Now the fans are denying it again. When Lou Su was first exposed, so many fans were calling Xia Nuan "sister-in-law" on her Weibo, but now they've turned their backs on her.]
[Why are they arguing again? Qin Lin is truly worthy of being called Teacher Qin.]
After Qin Lin finished commenting on the acting, he said, "Xiao Xia, you haven't learned how to act systematically."
Xia Nuan nodded, "Teacher Qin, you can see that I'm not a professional actor. I only started to figure out how to act after entering the industry."
Qin Linzheng's smile showed a hint of appreciation. "If you're willing, I can get you an audition pass. You can go to the Film Academy and attend classes when you're free."
Xia Nuan nodded quickly. Of course she was willing. "Thank you, Teacher Qin. Thank you so much."
[Xia Nuan is so lucky! Qin Linzheng actually admires her so much.]
[However, Lao Qin is an old professor at the Film Academy and a famous movie star. He might really be Xia Nuan's benefactor.]
Is it possible that Xia Nuan is truly worthy of Qin Linzheng's admiration? I pulled out all of Xia Nuan's past dramas, and I can see with my own eyes that her acting is truly improving. Sometimes she's on screen for less than a minute, but I can see the drama in her eyes.
[I'm really ignorant, I only know that Xia Nuan's most famous role is Lou Su's girlfriend, hahahahaha]
[I was really disrespectful earlier. Please don’t think my comments are funny.]
[But the reason Xia Nuan became so famous was indeed because of Lou Su. There’s nothing to refute about that.]
Qin Linzheng talked a lot with Xia Nuan about how to improve his acting skills.
If I hadn’t known I was watching a variety show, I would have thought I was listening to Teacher Qin’s class.
When Xia Nuan and Teacher Lou were talking about acting, I felt Xia Nuan's eyes were shining. She really loves acting.
Qin Linzheng glanced at his watch. "Oh, it's already this late. I won't say any more. You two kids probably have a lot to say, so I'll go back to my room first."
[I have to say, Teacher Qin, you are great]
Only Lou Su and Xia Nuan were left in the yard.
Lou Su: "Let's go out for a walk."
Xia Nuan glanced at the sky. The moon was high in the sky, but it was obvious that it was already completely dark. "Are you sure, now?"
"Um."
The shots taken by the PDs who were following the two people gradually overlapped, and they watched the two of them skillfully turn off their microphones.
[Oh oh oh, is there any topic that I can’t share with everyone.]
Lou Su leaned over and whispered in Xia Nuan's ear, "Can I hold your hand? I'm afraid the audience will notice something's wrong between us and suspect we're not a real couple."
Xia Nuan said nonchalantly, "Just hold it. It's okay. I won't think too much about it. Don't worry."
When he heard the first two words, the corners of Lou Su's mouth curled up, but when he heard the latter, his face instantly looked aggrieved.
Xia Nuan couldn't see the changes in his facial expression, but the audience in the live broadcast room saw it clearly.
[I may have been joking when I said this before, but now I really feel that Lou Su loves me more]
[I really want to be transported to Xia Nuan, I can’t take it anymore, I’m so jealous, ahhhhhhhhhh]
Lou Su took a deep breath, reached out and held Xia Nuan's hand, his ears turning red.
Lou Su: "The contract says that if the relationship is made public, you will get an A-level TV series."
Xia Nuan tilted her head. "Oh, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. So, what drama are you planning to give me?"
Lou Su pursed her lips, "Two A-level female leading roles, originally it should have been one S-level female leading role and one A-level, but the others in the company disagreed."
"Are you kidding?" Xia Nuan turned to look at Lou Su, somewhat incredulous. It was not even her dream to play the leading female role in an A-rated TV series, and now she has two.
Lou Su looked at Xia Nuan, "No, I don't know what compensation you want, so——"
"You've already given me compensation, so I don't need anything else."
"Can--"
Xia Nuan tugged at her hand, but couldn't break free. So, she let it go. "Just follow the contract. Don't make your own decisions. I don't like that."
Lou Su was a little discouraged, "Okay."
"Since we're talking about a dating contract, then when are we going to break up? Lin Dayong also said last time that dating is to resolve some public opinion. Now that things have been clarified, let's talk about when we break up."
"You want to break up?" Don't you like me?
"Yes, we were never really a couple, even though the contract said the relationship would last for six months. But now your crisis has been resolved, let's find a suitable time to break up after the variety show is over."
Why did his hand suddenly clench so tightly? Xia Nuan felt a little pain, "What are you doing? It hurts so much."
Lou Su's hand loosened, and just when Xia Nuan wanted to withdraw it, he tightened his grip again. His tone suddenly became relaxed, "If you want to pay the penalty, we can break up early."
How did she breach the contract? Xia Nuan was about to ask when Lou Su leaned over and whispered in her ear, "During the term of the contract, Party A can choose to end the relationship early, but Party B cannot. If you can afford the penalty, it's not impossible to break up now."
Xia Nuan's brain started working at a high speed. Liquidated damages, liquidated damages, how much is the liquidated damages?
"One billion." Lou Su grinned evilly, but was in a very good mood.
How could a mouth with a temperature of 37 degrees utter such cold words?
Xia Nuan was flexible and said, "Why would I want to break the contract?"
Lou Su tilted his head and smiled at Xia Nuan, revealing his small canine teeth. "Wouldn't it have been better if you had done this earlier?"
There were no new guest stars for two days before the re-broadcast of "Rural Cottage". Just when the audience could not wait to ask questions on the official blog, the guest stars for the second episode finally appeared.
[It turned out to be Ji Mian. I really, really like him. He is the second most popular character after Lou Su.]
[I don’t know him, but he’s quite handsome. Let me check Baidu.]
Ji Mian, a 24-year-old artist under Langfeng Media, has been in the industry for five years. Unlike the current crop of popular young actors, Ji Mian has a handsome appearance, fine features, a tall stature, and excellent manners.
Last year, he became popular for playing the tragic second male lead in an ancient idol drama, and all major platforms were full of clips about him. However, he has not yet played a leading male role in a film.
[I've watched all the ancient puppet dramas he starred in. Ji Mian's demeanor is really amazing. I feel that no male actor of his age can surpass him.]
[I also think he's super handsome and awesome, but it's a pity he's not popular. The money is pumping out all these wacky things these days, and the female stars are all getting ripped off, but the male stars don't pay any attention to body management at all. I'm really impressed. I clicked on a sweet little ancient idol drama, but when I saw the male lead's looks, I immediately quit watching.]
Xia Nuan was not aware of the audience's discussion. She only knew that finally, finally, another labor force had arrived.
On the first day after "Rural Cottage" resumed live broadcast, the three people leisurely enjoyed the rare rural scenery.
The next morning, the director's loudspeaker woke me up early to start working. "For various reasons, we've only fertilized the land but haven't planted anything yet. As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. If you plant food today, you'll harvest it tomorrow. In other words, if you don't plant today, you won't have anything to eat tomorrow."
The three people who had not yet figured out the situation were pulled to the edge of the field by the director team.
Corn seeds and three shovels.
"Everyone, get to work. We'll be serving food soon. Roll up your sleeves and work hard. You can do it."
Lou Su was still sleepy and stared at the director team with a cold face, scaring the director, who had a smile on his face, so much that he retreated back into the car.
Really, Xia Nuan was not exaggerating. The three of them, one old and two young, worked for a whole day and finished one acre of land, with one acre left.
No one is looking forward to the arrival of new guests more than these three.
On the third day of the live broadcast, early in the morning, the three people stood outside the yard gate waiting like a wife-waiting stone.
[I was almost dying of laughter. Even Lao Qin’s eyes were gleaming with hope.]
[They really worked all day yesterday. Honestly, I was almost bored watching them. It's May now, and the weather is really hot.]
[I feel like the production team is really cruel this time. If they hadn’t actually planted an acre of land in the end, they wouldn’t have given us any food.]
[I watched them planting corn yesterday. They were very excited at first, but I was exhausted by the end.]
[However, what brand of makeup does Xia Nuan use? I saw that she washes her face whenever she says to, and wipes sweat whenever she says to, and her makeup really doesn’t get smudged at all.]
Is it possible that she didn't wear any makeup at all?
[My skin is so good and white without makeup, I don’t believe it (crying, biting the handkerchief)]
[People are coming, people are coming, another labor force has arrived]
Xia Nuan's eyes were surprisingly bright. Looking at the tendons on his arms and the well-developed biceps, it was obvious that he was quite strong.
Ji Mian felt a chill on his scalp for some reason. Why were they all so welcoming to him?
Xia Nuan greeted him politely.
