Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Sister, I am very clean
Since I couldn't sleep anyway, I might as well reply to other people's messages. Xia Nuan opened WeChat again, and the next second her smile froze on her face. No, there were too many messages, and replying to them one by one was too tiring.
Xia Nuan simply edited a message on her Moments: Everything is fine, thank you all for your concern.
As soon as she posted that circle of friends, several actors liked it. They must have been filming a night scene and still awake. Xia Nuan found the constant ringing notifications annoying. Since it was late, and she didn't think anyone would contact her, she simply muted her phone.
Then she tossed her phone aside and began to think carefully about what she needed to do next. Her personal studio was currently in its early stages of development. Yesterday, Lin Dayong told her that Langfeng planned to officially sign a new contract with her next Tuesday, which was three days later.
Su Yuzhou said she wanted to collaborate with her studio and launch a training program for new actors, but the details would have to wait until she signed the contract with Langfeng.
Su Yuzhou's plan didn't have much support within his circle. It takes too long to train an actor. Bad money drives out good money. Traffic is king these days, and traffic stars change every year. Capital harvests the leeks once and then replaces them with a new crop, always with an endless supply of new ones. Stars are different from actors, though. So many talented actors are being buried, unknown, and poorly paid.
Even if you persevere and become famous, you still have to give way to the traffic driven by capital. Good film and television workers are not paid very well in the industry.
But Su Yuzhou's fame was there, and even if people weren't optimistic about him, there were countless people who would invest in him. But regardless of the reason, since Su Yuzhou was willing to work with her, she was naturally overjoyed. Who wouldn't want an opportunity? She was also very interested in Su Yuzhou's acting plans.
Xia Nuan finished reading the actor resumes in the studio's mailbox. The studio was in its early stages of establishment. Although recruitment had already started a week ago, there were only a few people who submitted resumes. Moreover, those who submitted resumes obviously did not meet her requirements and it seemed like they were just submitting for fun.
Time ticked away and it was six o'clock.
Xia Nuan stretched and went to the kitchen to make herself a cup of coffee.
The screen of the mobile phone in the bedroom lit up for a moment, but no one answered. After pressing the button, the screen lit up again, but the phone was still lying there, and no one answered.
Xia Nuan took a few sips of coffee and practiced yoga for an hour following a video. After making herself a simple breakfast, Xia Nuan returned to the bedroom.
It's just a little after seven o'clock, why are there so many missed calls? Xia Nuan glanced at the caller ID and raised her eyebrows. What a rare guest, it's actually Bo Wenjue.
The missed call records were from 6:07 to 6:30, and Bo Wenjue made six calls.
Xia Nuan called Bo Wenjue and the call went through quickly.
"Xia Nuan, I just saw your messages. Are you safe now? I'm returning from Tibet soon. I've already booked a ticket and will arrive this afternoon."
"Hey, hey, you don't have to rush back. I'm very safe now, both physically and mentally healthy."
Bo Wenjue's voice was filled with regret. "I've been hiking on the eastern slope of Mount Everest these days. The signal there is bad. I just finished hiking and my phone has a signal. I just saw your messages. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have gone."
"Thank you for your concern. I've been staying home lately, so please rest up before coming back. No wonder your Moments were full of training check-ins lately. I thought you were working out for a role again, but it turns out you were actually hiking Mount Everest. As expected, your image as an extreme athlete remains unshaken."
"You sound so relaxed, it seems you're indeed safe now." Bo Wenjue laughed on the other end. "Well, it took me seven days to climb from the lowest altitude of 3750 meters to the highest of 5359 meters. I was also fortunate to see Mount Everest at 8848 meters and Mount Qomolangma at 7084 meters. If I have time in the second half of the year, I plan to officially climb Mount Everest."
"Xia Nuan, I'm glad everything is going well for you. See you this afternoon!"
Xia Nuan's eyes widened for a moment. "No, Comrade Lao Bo, you really plan to come back right away. I'm really fine. Why don't you wait a little longer? Hiking the east slope of Mount Everest is not an easy task. If you don't get enough rest and come back, and something happens to your body, I'll be really sorry."
Bo Wenjue said innocently, "I've already bought the tickets. If I cancel now, they'll deduct a 20% handling fee from me."
Xia Nuan held her forehead in her hand speechlessly, unable to help but complain, "Brother, I'll give you the money for the refund. Don't take your health so lightly. You're not young anymore."
Bo Wenjue said in a lost tone, "Do you think I'm too old?"
Xia Nuan's mouth twitched, "Absolutely not. You should have a good rest first. Even if you come back today, I won't go to see you."
Bo Wenjue sighed deeply and stretched out his tone, "I know, I know."
Xia Nuan relaxed, and the two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.
A little after five in the afternoon.
Xia Nuan received a video call from Lou Su.
Lou Su was dressed in home clothes, looking like he'd just washed his hair, which was completely uncontrollable and frizzed in all directions. Lou Su pursed his lips, lowered his head, and didn't dare look at Xia Nuan. The tips of his ears were red as if they were dripping blood. His upturned eyebrows drooped, and he looked pitiful, like an unwanted puppy.
He remained silent. Xia Nuan waited for half a minute, then couldn't help but speak. "Just say what you want to say. This isn't like you at all."
Lou Su hummed, raised his head, his eyes misted over, and his lips pressed into a line, "You won't laugh at me, will you?"
Xia Nuan couldn't help but ask back, "Why am I laughing at you?"
"You don't laugh at me because you don't care about me." Lou Su said dejectedly, "Don't answer me, I know you don't care about me."
Xia Nuan rubbed her temples, which were throbbing with pain. "How long have we known each other?"
Lou Su answered without hesitation: "Seven years and nine months."
Xia Nuan sighed, "It's been so long, I must be concerned about you. We are friends after all, right?"
"I don't want to be a friend—"
Xia Nuan interrupted him, "Listen to me. Since I treat you as a friend, I must care about you. So next time, don't stay up late drinking, just in case - anyway, nothing is more important than life."
Xia Nuan looked directly into Lou Su's eyes and said, "You should still remember what happened last night."
Lou Su's face turned even redder than before, and he stammered, unable to explain himself clearly. He looked nothing like his usual rebellious self.
Lou Su nodded and looked at Xia Nuan expectantly, "I remember, so what do you think?"
Xia Nuan took a deep breath and said, "Same answer as before, I refuse."
"Did you reject me because of Ji Mian?" Lou Su suddenly asked with a trembling voice.
Xia Nuan shook her head. "No, I just don't want to be in a relationship. I prefer being alone."
Lou Su licked his lips, his tone suddenly becoming calm, "That means that no matter who confesses to you, you will refuse."
"That's right." Xia Nuan thought for a moment, "Let me be frank. I currently have no intention of falling in love, nor do I want to get married. I think being single for life is fine. So, I hope you won't focus on me anymore. I'm sorry."
Lou Su didn't know what he was thinking about. His already beautiful face suddenly became even more gorgeous. His cheeks flushed, his lips trembled slightly, but for some reason his eyes were surprisingly bright.
Xia Nuan looked at him with some worry, wondering if what she said had irritated him. However, she didn't think what she said was excessive.
"Are you okay? If not, I'll hang up." Xia Nuan waved at the camera.
Lou Su's lips curled up, "There's something else."
Xia Nuan nodded, not daring to provoke him again, "Well, you talk, I'm listening."
Lou Su looked at Xia Nuan with a smile, his expression very charming, "Sister, you don't want to fall in love, right?"
Xia Nuan felt that his tone was a little strange, and why did he suddenly call her sister? Her hair stood on end. "That's right."
"Then I won't pursue you."
Xia Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had figured it out, but he was only half relieved. When Xia Nuan heard the second half of Lou Su's words, she froze.
Lou Su's smile widened, his posture bold and flamboyant, his eyes fixed on Xia Nuan, "I was wrong before. Sister, I don't want to talk about love with you anymore. Let's just be friends with benefits."
Um? ? ? ! ! !
Xia Nuan couldn't believe her ears. What kind of nonsense was this kid talking about? Her pupils shrank sharply and she looked stunned. "What were you saying just now? Did I hear correctly?"
Lou Su put his face close to the camera.
His handsome face instantly enlarged, his thin lips parted, a smile wanton, his pupils slightly drooping, "Let's be friends with friends, just have sex, no romance. How about it, sister?"
There was an undercurrent in his eyes, like an abyss, containing signals of extreme danger.
Xia Nuan was so shocked that she couldn't look away. Her mind was blank and buzzing, and she could only stare into his eyes.
Lou Su's voice was pleasant to begin with, and now it was deliberately seductive, adding a bit of indescribable feeling. His hoarse voice was restrained and bewitching, like a feather scratching the heart, stirring the heartstrings again and again.
"Sister, we are all adults, so let's relieve each other's physiological needs, okay? Sister, you can try it, I'm very clean. Sister, you will definitely be satisfied, I'm very big."
I heard something, Xia Nuan's face was wooden and her expression was stiff.
Lou Su's situation has completely reversed, and the reversal is too big.
Xia Nuan spoke quickly, "I think the alcohol might have messed up your brain. Let's talk about it when you're sober."
With a snap, Xia Nuan hung up the video call, looking devastated. She took a deep breath, pinched her hand hard, and cried out in pain.
Xia Nuan felt dazed and wondered if the world was about to collapse.
