Chapter 60
This time the sponsor requested a chocolate commercial, so the director first filmed the ending part of the commercial where several contestants were gathered together holding chocolates and speaking to the camera, and then began planning the commercial plot in the middle.
The original plan was to have Luo Jiayu, on a skateboard, holding a chocolate bar in his mouth, walk past Chu Yu, who was graffitiing, and greet her. After the person turned around, he would throw the chocolate in his hand to her, and then the two of them would speak the advertising slogan to the camera together.
But ideals are full and reality is very skinny. The boy looked very cool and handsome when skateboarding, but his accuracy in throwing chocolates was too poor. Once it landed on his childhood friend's head, once it fell into his childhood friend's hood, and once it directly hit his childhood friend's face.
"..." The director grinned as he watched the video playback. "What's going on, Xiao Luo? You confidently assured me before that you've been playing basketball for over a decade and your shooting accuracy is amazing."
Luo Jiayu was caressing Chu Yu, who was stunned by his chocolate, and whispering an apology. After hearing the director's question, he turned around and curled his lips guiltily:
"Sorry, Director, my hands are shaking."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yu grabbed his wrist and pulled it down from above his head, examining it for a moment. Luo Jiayu, being held in his hand, restlessly touched his cheek with his fingers.
"Did the specialist find anything?"
Capibara said seriously: "You have Parkinson's disease?"
"No, I'm just happy." The patient was in good spirits and looked extremely excited. He could even ride a skateboard and throw chocolates in Chu Yu's direction nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times.
In the end, the shooting plan of the advertisement was changed to Luo Jiayu sliding behind Chu Yu, jumping down, patting the person on the shoulder, and then reaching out to hand over chocolate.
"Okay, cut—" The revised shoot was completed in one take, and the director informed everyone to call it a day with a sigh of relief. The trainees had to gather at one side and then take the bus back to the camp.
While waiting for the bus, Luo Jiayu was still restless. He kept poking at the system in his brain. Teacher Ji knew his host's character. If she didn't poke him normally, it would definitely be bad news. She asked angrily, "What are you doing?"
Luo Jiayu thought to himself: Do you think I should confess to him now?
System: "I don't think it's very..."
Luo Jiayu is full of confidence: I think this timing is very appropriate.
System: "Think about it carefully..."
Luo Jiayu became more and more certain: If I think about it carefully, is the fact that he was willing to take a photo in front of my name wall today a hint to me? How could he do this if he didn't like me? He probably has a crush on me, but he just doesn't dare to say it. I understand him, this is how he expresses his secret love for me.
System: "I think your argument is biased..."
Luo Jiayu was eager to try: the sun was setting, the atmosphere was just right, and he hadn't spoken to me for a minute and eight seconds. Maybe he was waiting for me to confess my feelings.
system:"……"
It chose to give up: "Yes, he has a crush on you, go confess your feelings."
Luo Jiayu thought for a moment: Forget it, it’s too hasty to say it now, there’s no sense of ceremony, and what he did wasn’t necessarily a sign that he liked me, maybe he just treated me as a good brother, I understand him.
System: "You don't understand a thing. He likes you so much. Go and confess your love to him."
Luo Jiayu made the final decision: I’ve decided not to confess my feelings, we’ll talk about it later.
"..." The system was so angry at the host that its teeth itched, "So why did you call me out?"
Luo Jiayu said sincerely: Find an audience.
The system walked away in anger, and decided to play dead next time it was poked, and never come out to listen to this unfortunate kid again.
Luo Jiayu said he would not consider it for now and would talk about it later, but he still poked Chu Yu's shoulder with excitement and unwillingness, trying to pretend to be unintentional and test a few words:
"What are you thinking about?"
Chu Yu was chewing the chocolate beans given by the sponsor, and hesitantly said something as he chewed:
"I'm hesitating."
"What are you hesitating about?"
"Do you want to talk to him?"
Luo Jiayu: “!”
Luo Jiayu probed: "Are you afraid to tell him?"
Chu Yu nodded: "I'm sorry."
Luo Jiayu continued: "Don't be embarrassed, he must be waiting for you to tell him."
Chu Yu hesitated: "Really? I'm afraid he will reject me."
"How could that be?" Luo Jiayu coaxed, "Believe me, as long as you ask, he will definitely agree to it."
"Okay." After hearing this, Chu Yu finally made up his mind and turned around to face his childhood friend.
"Then I'll go find him. Wish me success."
Luo Jiayu: "Who are you looking for?"
"Jiang Chenglu."
"?"
Luo Jiayu was speechless as he watched Chu Yu turn around and leave. It took him a long time to realize what was going on.
"Host." The system, which had watched the entire process, said indifferently, "Remember to play straight next time."
On the other side, when Chu Yu found Jiang Chenglu, Xiao Baihua was squatting in an unknown corner in a daze.
He could feel the suppression from the program crew. The camera time allocated to him was much less than that in the previous behind-the-scenes activities. He only had two close-ups from beginning to end in the entire commercial, and he had no lines. His treatment was even worse than that of Song Lai, who was cast behind him.
He knew very well that he should get the script of the sacrifice to heaven, and maybe after the second public performance, his ranking would start to be suppressed. After all, it was the capital Wei family that had a powerful influence in the circle. It was impossible for him, a little unknown person from a grassroots background, to compete with them.
The players around him were used to changing their attitudes according to the situation. When they saw that Bai Yu was protected by the financial backers behind the scenes, they immediately began to suppress, ridicule and isolate him. Sometimes he didn't really understand why other people's malice could be so unreasonable and so strong.
Chu Yu had come all the way here, head down and silent, shuffling along. He thought he was being very quiet, but he didn't realize that the little speaker in his head was blaring all the way, like a built-in mixed-audio system:
[Ding ding, the target hiding place has been found, initiating the first-level plan: take ten steps forward, turn right 60 degrees, look up, smile, wave, and interact with the NPC: Hello]
The sound like a robot reporting a point attracted Jiang Chenglu to look up, and he saw the familiar figure at a glance. He was a little surprised, but the person looking at him stopped and took a half step back with an expressionless face.
Ahhhh I can't do it, Ahhhh I must do it! Ahhhh I hate humans, Ahhhh I can't hate humans! Ahhhh I can't, Ahhhh I can! 】
Little White Flower was a little confused, but he still smiled and took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, what can I do for you?"
Chu Yu pursed his lips, and for a moment he regretted not bringing Luo Jiayu with him to be his substitute. The opening remarks that he had rehearsed well were all thwarted when he met a real human being.
"have."
Jiang Chenglu was curious: "What's the matter?"
"That's it..." Chu Yu closed his eyes and tried hard to organize some language that humans could understand from his tense brain, but obviously he failed.
Chu Yu took a deep breath and decided to give up the first-level plan and start the B-level plan that he had just thought of a second ago: making gestures and using sign language.
"It's like this." He stretched out his hand tentatively and made an abstract gesture.
His inner voice rang out simultaneously:
[I passed by that day and saw you and Bai Yu arguing, so I wanted to talk to you about it.]
Jiang Chenglu nodded in surprise: "I see, you were there when Bai Yu and I had a quarrel that day. What do you want to tell me?"
He can understand my sign language! Chu Yu was excited. Now he could completely shut up and concentrate on making signs.
"This way, this way."
Did they isolate you? Did they gang up on you and bully you?
Jiang Chenglu nodded repeatedly: "Ah, I haven't communicated with my teammates for several days. They have been ignoring me and tacitly not taking my position during training. But I don't know what to do. After all, Wei Ziyu..."
Jiang Chenglu hesitated at this point, and just as Little White Flower was about to slip into melancholy again, Chu Yu's sonorous and serious voice brought him back to reality:
Men are unreliable. We must be independent and strong! We can't rely solely on men!
Jiang Chenglu heard this view for the first time and stared blankly at the handsome guy opposite him. Then, seeing his determined eyes, as if he was about to join the party, he gradually became more determined:
"Okay! We don't rely on men!"
The cool guy with a cold face continued to use his sign language that was comparable to Luo Yu's. The little white flower's eyes lit up more and more as she watched:
"Really? Can you be more specific?"
Chu Yu nodded, then gestured: "First this way, then this way."
Jiang Chenglu suddenly realized: "So that's it!"
Receiving positive feedback, Chu Yu gestured even more vigorously: "Do this again, and then that."
Jiang Chenglu suddenly realized: "I got it!"
Chu Yu was puzzled by the Teacher Zhao in his mind: "...What on earth did he learn?"
Chu Yu is still trying to output:
[If you're bullied, you must fight back. Even if you don't have the ability right now, you can still use external forces! But you must fight back!]
Jiang Chenglu's eyes filled with tears: "Thank you!"
Chu Yu nodded, and with a sense of relief, he put down his numb hands, but his inner voice was still broadcasting the last sentence:
[You will have a good life in the future. This will all pass, but that doesn't mean you take the grievances you've suffered for granted.]
Just as he was about to retire and turn around to leave, Jiang Chenglu grabbed his wrist. The little white flower was so moved by him that she wanted to rush over and give him a big hug, but was catapulted three meters away by a social phobia.
"You are the best person I have ever met." Jiang Chenglu said sincerely.
Chu Yu nodded coldly to show that he heard it.
"You are also the cutest, most adorable person I have ever met." Jiang Chenglu continued to speak sincerely.
Chu Yu's eyes gradually became confused. He didn't quite understand how his cold face from beginning to end was cuter than his sign language.
"Why are you willing to help me?"
Chu Yu paused for a moment after being asked this question, then felt that he could answer it, so he spoke in an enigmatic tone:
"My idol is Lei Feng."
"I see." Jiang Chenglu nodded devoutly. "I've listened to everything you said. I'll start trying to collect evidence when I get back. You're right. There are some things I can handle on my own."
Mission accomplished! Chu Yu felt refreshed, and the next second he heard a familiar electronic female voice announce:
[Ding Dong, congratulations to host Chu Yu for gaining 100 points of favorability with the character Jiang Chenglu and achieving the achievement "Winning over the protagonist". Please keep up the good work~]
Teacher Zhao was even more surprised when he heard this report:
"No, he actually understood your sign language?!"
