Chapter 28
When Cheng Cheng woke up, he felt sore all over, especially his legs. The slightest movement would pull the muscles on the inside of his thighs, which was very painful.
What happened? This was her first reaction.
The body under the quilt was extremely smooth and it was obvious that she was not wearing anything.
A flash of light flashed through Cheng Cheng's mind, and her eyes gradually became dull. The memories of yesterday flooded back to her like a tide.
Cheng Cheng covered his head with the quilt in embarrassment.
Thinking about what happened yesterday, I wish I could find a hole to crawl into.
........You can’t blame anyone else, it was my own initiative yesterday.
Zhou Yue was awakened by Cheng Cheng's actions.
He was still immersed in the beauty of last night, and naturally put his arms around Cheng Chengguang's tender shoulders, wanting to give her a kiss.
Blocked by a hand.
It only took Zhou Yue's eyes a second to go from sleepy to clear.
He saw Cheng Cheng's extremely clear eyes.
It was obvious that Cheng Cheng was sober.
Well, the time of reckoning is coming.
Cheng Cheng raised his body, and the quilt on his shoulders slipped down to his chest. He looked down at the mess on his body. The exposed parts were bruised and purple, and looked very intense.
Cheng Cheng's eyes shifted towards him and he tilted his head, meaning: Well, explain?
Zhou Yue was also shirtless. He swallowed hard and his first words were, "I couldn't find any clean underwear. It's not nice to rummage through the closet, so I didn't change for you."
Cheng Cheng:......kicked Zhou Yue off the bed.
Is this what she is asking? You bastard, you’ve already done the deed, why are you pretending to be a gentleman now?
Zhou Yue didn't get angry when he fell to the ground. He jumped up and hugged Cheng Cheng again, saying flatteringly, "Look how you caught me yesterday." He showed his back.
Cheng Cheng: ...
Even with a bit of pride!
"You, you..." Cheng Cheng didn't know what to say, so he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
In fact, Cheng Cheng was not that angry. She had accepted Zhou Yue a long time ago. It was just too embarrassing to see him naked suddenly and she didn't know how to deal with it.
But the person behind me is not honest.
"You, you still want--" Cheng Cheng stuttered, feeling the heat.
Zhou Yue felt wronged: "This is not something I can control..."
The clouds and rain have stopped.
Zhou Yue hugged Cheng Cheng with a satisfied look on his face: "Let's make it public." He rubbed Cheng Cheng's furry head with his chin.
"What?" Cheng Cheng was a little surprised.
"If it had been public, what happened yesterday wouldn't have happened." Zhou Yue said with lingering fear, "It's time to change your agent."
Cheng Cheng was silent. She understood that Su Qing did it on purpose yesterday. She wanted her to learn a lesson and listen to her in the future.
Unfortunately, she is soft-hearted and does not respond to harsh treatment.
She had some plans, but not right now, because there were more important things.
Cheng Cheng: "I will be more vigilant next time. I'm worried about you."
Zhou Yue tried to persuade her again, but Cheng Cheng said, "I'm about to join the crew. I don't have the energy to deal with these trivial matters now. Let's wait until I finish filming."
"When will you join the group?" The two had just gotten together and were about to separate again.
"October 16th."
"That's the day after tomorrow!"
"Yes." Cheng Cheng nodded.
Zhou Yue was anxious: "You can't abandon me after having fun with me."
Cheng Cheng rolled his eyes: "You are a grown man, and you say such things."
"Where are you filming?"
"City G." Cheng Cheng said a location.
Zhou Yue frowned: "So far?" More than a thousand kilometers away from S City.
"It's okay to take a plane. The filming location is quite remote, so it's closer to the airport."
"Oh, I see." Zhou Yue's expression eased a little and he felt relieved.
Cheng Cheng felt something was wrong: "What do you want to do? I'm telling you, don't come to visit the set."
"Why?" Zhou Yue was unhappy because his plan was overturned by Cheng Cheng.
"Our affairs cannot be exposed."
"Why?" Zhou Yue's voice became louder.
"I'm in the rising stage of my career now. It will have a bad impact if my relationship is exposed. You don't understand. My fans have high expectations of me. I don't want them to think that I am not focused on my career and am only busy with love." Cheng Cheng had a good reason.
"If it can't be made public, then what am I, a female star's secret lover?" Zhou Yue's voice was chilling.
Cheng Cheng laughed so hard that he couldn't help laughing: "You are my chief steward of internal affairs, specializing in serving me in bed."
Her white and tender feet brushed across the man's muscular back, and she said, "Go get me some clothes. It's in the third drawer on the left."
Zhou Yue wanted to be angry, but looking at this sunny and smiling face, he couldn't get angry at all. He had to accept his fate and serve his queen.
————————
Cheng Cheng knew that the crew was quite poor, but he didn't expect it to be this poor.
The filming location is in a big mountain. To put it nicely, it is pristine, with beautiful mountains, clear water, and fresh air. To put it bluntly, it is a place where there is no village in sight and no shop nearby, so you have to hold hands when going to the toilet in the middle of the night.
Due to the harsh conditions on the mountain and safety concerns, the entire crew stayed in the small town at the foot of the mountain. Director Lu Yang generously booked the largest hotel in the town.
Hongmei Hotel.
More than a hundred people from the crew packed this three-story self-built house.
Even the proprietress gave up her room and temporarily stayed with relatives.
As the leading actress, Cheng Cheng still enjoyed some special treatment and lived in the proprietress's private room with a bathtub.
"October 22nd, four shots at a time, start shooting—"
As the words fell, Cheng Cheng descended from the sky hanging on a wire.
His clothes were so dirty that his original color couldn't be seen, his hair was a mess, and his face was so dirty that it looked like he hadn't washed it for several days.
After being trapped in the barrier for another hundred years, Ali finally found the gap in the barrier and used his internal force to break the already shaky barrier.
Since she was the only one in the cave, she spent most of her time practicing and was unaware that so much time had passed.
Ali stepped out of the cave with great joy, but found that the sect in his memory was gone.
The master's house was built at the highest point of Zixiao Peak. It is now in ruins and most of the stone statues at the door have collapsed.
The training ground where the junior brothers and sisters practiced martial arts became a pool of water, with the bluestone slabs that witnessed their blood, sweat and sword energy buried deep at the bottom of the pool.
Ali walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The wild grass on the roadside cut her ankles, and the sharp leaves cut her cheeks, leaving a string of blood beads, but she didn't care and even forgot that she could fly.
She looked up and around: familiar places, unfamiliar scenery, and her originally joyful face turned into confusion.
Where is home?
"Ka--very good!" Lu Yang was full of praise.
The staff came to remove the wire for Cheng Cheng.
Cheng Cheng grimaced in pain.
In order to save on scenery, I have been shooting wire-hanging scenes continuously these days. The injury on my body has not healed yet, and I am in pain again today.
"Director Lu, hasn't the male lead arrived yet?" Cheng Cheng looked up and asked the director while drinking hot cocoa.
She, the heroine, has been filming for several days, but now she doesn’t even know who the male lead is.
"He will be here tomorrow. You will be filming your scenes together in town tomorrow. You will know once the notice comes out," said Lu Yang.
Cheng Cheng and Xiao Xia chat privately.
"Who is the male lead? He's so mysterious." She held her chin in her hand and wondered. Director Lu had been hiding the male lead from her. Could it be that -
"Could it be a big shot?" Cheng Cheng clapped his hands.
"Sister, I think you're the biggest star in our crew." Xiao Xia ruthlessly broke her fantasy, "Otherwise, you won't get the room with the bathtub."
"You have a point." The crew is very particular about seniority. If the male lead is more famous than Cheng Cheng, Cheng Cheng will not only not be able to live in the best room, but also will not be able to get the only private tent on the mountain and sit in it to drink hot cocoa comfortably.
"There's no signal in this crappy place again." Xiao Xia was watching a short video when the screen suddenly froze.
After turning the phone around twice without success, Xiao Xia gave up.
"Sister, why did Director Lu insist on filming here? City B also has mountains, and City H is very close to us, and the scenery is not bad either. Why did he choose to come here...? Could it be to save money?"
The cost of living in this place is very low. There is a time-honored beef noodle shop opposite their hotel. A big bowl costs only ten yuan and it is very filling and delicious.
It almost became the crew's canteen. The proprietress was meeting celebrities for the first time and was very enthusiastic towards them, adding lots of beef every time.
"Shh, keep your voice down... Don't let Director Lu hear the word 'poor', otherwise he will be defeated again." Cheng Cheng whispered.
Lu Yang is a new director, about the same age as them, with a good temper and the ability to joke around. Their relationship is more like that of friends, and they get along very well.
But Lu Yang couldn't stand hearing others say that the crew was poor, and he got anxious when he heard it.
Although Cheng Cheng didn't let Xiao Xia speak, she quite agreed with this idea in her heart.
After meeting the male lead the next day, I became even more determined.
Could it be that Lu Yang gave all the salary budget to himself? Otherwise, why would he find a fledgling college student?
"Have you graduated?" Cheng Cheng looked at the reserved boy in front of him with some suspicion.
"I'm about to graduate, and I just finished rehearsing the graduation play and rushed here." The boy's name is Chen Ze. He has a pair of single eyelids, is tall and thin, has very fair skin, and his facial features are regular, but he is not handsome enough to shock people at first glance.
In terms of appearance alone, in the entertainment industry... I'm probably below average.
After seeing Shen Ze's performance during filming, Cheng Cheng understood why Lu Yang chose him.
Lu Yang is very good at using local materials (saving money). This scene was filmed in a small beef noodle shop in the small town, and the enthusiastic proprietress also made a guest appearance (free of charge).
"Start--" Lu Yang held up the loud speaker with his eyes shining.
As soon as Chen Ze raised his eyes, his expression changed, from clear and innocent to gloomy and lazy. His hands were loosely tucked into his trouser pockets. He was wearing a pair of flip-flops and leaning against a telephone pole, smoking.
Suddenly, his calm eyes lit up with interest, as if he had seen something interesting.
"Interesting," he said.
Qianyu is a killer. He completes one job every six months and makes half a year's living from one job. He just finished a big job and went back to his hometown for a vacation.
Qianyu was born in this town. His only grandmother passed away when he was ten years old, and he grew up eating at many people's homes.
The people in the town watched Qianyu grow up. They just thought he was working outside and came back occasionally for a long vacation. They treated him like their own children and grandchildren, thinking he was a harmless and good boy.
Qianyu is the best at disguise. People in the small town don’t know that this boy who would obediently call grandpa, grandma and auntie is actually a murderer.
Qianyu saw a girl wearing strange costume-like clothes, looking at the world curiously like a newborn baby.
A few yellow-haired guys whizzed past on motorcycles and almost brushed against the girl's arm.
Qianyu was startled when he saw her, staring at the back of the car that was raising dust with wide eyes, as if he was looking at a huge monster.
The moment she was frightened, abnormal energy fluctuations appeared around her right hand, which lasted only briefly before disappearing.
Qianyu noticed that she clenched her fists.
Could it be that she is also a cultivator?
I'm just bored, let's find something fun to do.
Qianyu threw away the cigarette butt and stomped it out.
"Hello, I see you have been standing here for a long time. Have you encountered any difficulties?" Qianyu changed his face again, this time he was a sunny, cheerful and enthusiastic young man.
"I, I..." Ali looked around uneasily, "Where is this place?"
"This is Shuiwei Town." Qianyu looked surprised. "Don't you know? Then how did you get here?"
"I..." Ali couldn't answer.
Just then, her stomach growled: "Gurgle——" Ali became even more embarrassed.
Qianyu burst out laughing: "You must be hungry. Meeting is fate. Come on, I'll treat you to a meal." He pointed to the noodle shop in front.
"Cut—" Director Lu shouted.
The camera moved away, and Lu Ze returned to his shy state: "I was so nervous just now."
Cheng Cheng, who was hit by the talented player, said: "......"
Time for actors to touch up their makeup.
Lu Yang came over leisurely, looking very proud, his eyes clearly saying, "Are you surprised?"
Cheng Cheng:.......
"Are you still doubting me? Let me tell you, once this drama airs, this guy will definitely be a dark horse this year. I fell in love with him at first sight during the interview." Lu Yang said.
"My judgment is correct. This drama will be a hit."
Lu Yang held the big teacup and took a sip with relish. "You too," Director Lu added.
Cheng Cheng: "...Thank you for your high emotional intelligence."
The jokes couldn't alleviate Cheng Cheng's loss.
Cheng Cheng has always thought that he is talented, but today he realized that there are always people better than you.
In fact, her performance today was not bad, but her acting skills, which she had been secretly proud of, were overshadowed by a newbie with no experience, and she was having trouble adjusting.
"Director Lu, that just now--" Cheng Cheng wanted to say something.
"Hey, great director, when did it finally come to my part? I've been waiting for so long." The lady boss of the beef noodle shop shouted while standing at the door.
"It's almost time, it's your turn next—" Director Lu gestured and shouted back to the proprietress across the street.
"What did you just say?" Lu Yang turned back to him, he didn't hear it just now.
"It's okay." Cheng Cheng changed his mind and said with a smile.
Next time, she will definitely perform better next time.
Cheng Cheng was aroused to fight.
