Yun Xu glanced at him, not wanting to introduce him, but after thinking about it, they were childhood friends who had known each other for many years, so he said a few words reluctantly: "This is Brother Zheng, from the same compound."
Jin Jun and Qi Yao were both excellent opera actors, and they could tell what the other meant just by looking at each other. Jin Jun's smile faded a little, but Qi Yao's smile remained unchanged: "Good evening."
Jin Jun looked at Qi Yao's expression and knew that she could handle it, so he simply spoke to Yun Xu: "I didn't expect you to come to see my performance."
Yun Xu said softly, "I want to get to know you better. You are really beautiful when you are on stage."
"I'm not pretty, Ayao is the real pretty one." Jin Jun laughed: "You are the only one who says I'm pretty."
"You are really beautiful," Yun Xu said seriously, "I only saw you."
Jin Jun tightened her grip around the bouquet, "You have quite a unique taste."
Yun Xu smiled and said, "If it's you, then it's special. Are you free later? Can we have dinner together?"
Jin Jun looked at Qi Yao, who touched her hair and said, "I need to take off my makeup. I won't go out to eat tonight. I'm going to take off my makeup first. You guys can chat slowly."
Yun Xu glanced at Chu Zheng, feeling no sympathy for him. Qi Yao's words were a double entendre, and he didn't believe Chu Zheng didn't understand.
Chu Zheng understood, of course. He followed Qi Yao into the dressing room. Since it didn't say outsiders were not allowed inside, Chu Zheng felt comfortable entering without any worries.
Jin Jun wanted to call him back, but Yun Xu laughed and said, "It's no use, he's already followed."
"What kind of people are your friends?" Jin Jun said angrily, "Your friends are obviously experienced. A Yao will not be willing to play love games with them."
Yun Xu felt like a huge pot had fallen from the sky, hitting him so hard that he saw stars. "Brother Zheng and I grew up in the same compound. I can't control his private life, right?"
"And I'm very self-disciplined. I'm definitely not what you call a 'experienced person.'"
Even though Jin Jun was in a bad mood, she couldn't help but laugh at Yun Xu's strong desire to survive: "I know, I heard Jingjing say that you are a pure love god of war, and your emotional threshold is very high."
"Well, maybe it's because my family is so happy." Yun Xu relaxed a little: "When your family is happy, your emotional demands are very pure. It may be a bit abrupt, but the first time I saw you, I felt my soul shaken."
"Jingjing said something similar to me before, and I just thought it was a joke. But when I saw you for the first time that day, I finally understood that feeling."
Jin Jun's lips curled up slightly: "Generally speaking, this is called being tempted by beauty."
"Just tell me what you want to say," Yun Xu didn't argue with her, "but I'm thirty years old now, and I've never felt this way before."
"What if you feel this way again in the future?" Jin Jun laughed. "I'm the first one. What if there's a second or third one? After all, there are still many heroic girls like me."
"I've seen heroic girls before, of course I've seen quite a few," Yun Xu said very rationally. "I know myself very well, and our Yun family is very devoted. From my great-grandfather to my grandfather, my father, my uncle, and all my relatives, everyone is very devoted."
"Once you fall in love, it lasts a lifetime."
Even though Jin Jun thought she had extraordinary willpower, she was still shocked by Yun Xu's words. After a long while, Jin Jun shook her long hair and said, "I'm going to take off my makeup. Do you want to come with me?"
Yun Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, then suddenly smiled: "Okay, it's my honor."
The theater troupe didn't have the same good conditions as the stars, and each person had their own dressing room. When Jin Jun and Yun Xu came in, they saw Chu Zheng sitting on the sofa behind Qi Yao, staring at her with a dark look in his eyes.
Qi Yao, on the other hand, acted as if Chu Zheng didn't exist, removing her hair accessories and then her makeup. Although the dressing room was perfectly quiet, Jin Jun felt as if he had stepped into some kind of Shura field.
She couldn't help but lighten her steps and sat down beside Qi Yao. Qi Yao glanced at her and asked, "Is there anyone else outside?"
Jin Jun looked in the makeup mirror at Yun Xu sitting down next to Chu Zheng and couldn't help but clear her throat. "The audience has dispersed. What do you want to eat later? I'll pack it up for you."
It was obvious that her best friend had no interest in Chu Zheng, so of course she had to side with Qi Yao. Upon hearing this, Chu Zheng's veins popped out on the back of his hands, and he glanced at Yun Xu, implying that he wanted Yun Xu to take care of things.
Yun Xu was indifferent, pretending he didn't understand. Just kidding, even if he and Jin Jun were together, he wouldn't push Qi Yao towards Chu Zheng. With Chu Zheng being such a person, wouldn't introducing a girl to him be a disaster for him?
Not to mention that Jin Jun hasn't agreed to him yet, so Yun Xu is determined not to stand on Chu Zheng's side. He even dragged a chair and sat next to Jin Jun, watching Jin Jun take off her makeup with curiosity.
Qi Yao smiled. "Okay, I'll talk to you on WeChat later. By the way, your phone has been on in the background. Jingjing called you just now, and I answered it for you."
Jin Jun turned his head: "What did she say?"
"I just wanted to tell you that they've arrived at the airport and said you performed really well and looked really beautiful on stage." Qi Yao smiled and said, "I'm also here to apologize. I was originally going to say hello to you before leaving, but I didn't expect so many fans, so I had to apologize over the phone."
Jin Jun was embarrassed, and Yun Xu whispered, "I always say that there are many people who can recognize a pearl with discerning eyes. My mother also thinks you are very beautiful. She was stunned when she saw you play Xu Xian."
Jin Jun turned his head quickly: "Your mother also came to see my performance?"
"Of course, she likes you very much." Yun Xu said calmly: "Except for my grandparents, my mother, my uncle and aunt, and Jingjing's grandparents are all here. Everyone likes you very much."
Qi Yao chuckled, thinking that Yun Xu's behavior of telling you directly that he likes you and that even his family likes you, although sudden, is indeed a plus for girls while bringing pressure.
"Don't feel burdened," Yun Xu explained, "It's our business that we all like you. Whether you accept it or not is your business. The two shouldn't be confused."
Jin Jun understood that this was a sign of his sincerity, but at the same time he was trying not to put pressure on himself. To be honest, Jin Jun felt that Yun Xu's actions were indeed a plus.
"I'm a drama actor... In ancient times, I'd be an actor..." She said this on purpose, and not surprisingly, she saw Yun Xu's face change.
But the next second, Yun Xu's words surprised Jin Jun: "I remember that the country liberated its thinking decades ago. Why are you still acting like you're living in the Qing Dynasty? You're an artist, dedicated to promoting intangible cultural heritage. It's a very meaningful thing. How can you be an actor?"
