Chapter 31

Fu Xiuning drank a glass of wine and took the initiative to talk about Gu Zheng, and then talked about Lin Kecheng, the man behind the scenes.

When talking about Lin Kecheng, he also mentioned the last attempted murder.

Director He has been in the circle until now, and countless people have tried to get close to him. He has seen many methods, but he has never met someone like Fu Xiuning who was used to calculate his life-saving grace in such an extreme way. After all, he lost his life by accident. Who dares to take a gamble?

He exclaimed, "This is too immoral, he is a born bad guy. He even wanted to kill you, how come you are not injured...wait, the wound on your neck was caused by him?"

Although Fu Xiuning's wound has healed, the scar has not completely disappeared. Director He asked about it the last time he saw him. Fu Xiuning replied at that time that he was accidentally injured. Now they can have a deep chat about the situation.

He said, "Well, luckily it's not fatal. I also have a back injury, but it's not long ago. That day, I fell on the tea table and broke it."

He filled the glasses for both of them, with a humble attitude of a young man: "I treat Suishun as my own brother, and it's my duty to take care of him. Don't be polite to me. I don't drink well, and the doctor also told me to drink less recently. This glass of wine is for you. I won't drink two more glasses, and let Suishun accompany you to drink."

When Director He heard the situation was so dangerous, he naturally stopped persuading him to drink.

Besides, his target tonight was not Fu Xiuning, so he even held back the glass of wine and didn't let the other party drink it all.

The system couldn't help but exclaimed.

When Xingshi heard Fu Xiuning mention Lin Kecheng, he guessed what he was going to say. Seeing his father quickly shift his attention, he asked, "Wow, what's the point?"

The system excitedly said, "Fu Xiuning called you Suishun. It's the first time he called you by your nickname! Although it was the original owner's nickname, he didn't know it. It sounds so intimate!"

Xingshi thought about it and found that it was indeed the case. He glanced at Fu Xiuning.

Fu Xiuning was also looking at him, with a smile on his handsome face. He reached out to pick up some food for him and said in a brotherly tone, "Eat more food, don't just focus on praising me, it's all trivial, not worth mentioning. Your father rarely comes home, drink with him."

Xingshi thought that the first time he called him was to push him out. This brotherly love was simply touching.

He agreed obediently and buried his head in eating.

Director He asked expectantly, "How does it taste? Has it not changed?"

Xingshi slowly swallowed the food in his mouth.

He had no memory and was not clear, but he was at peace in his heart.

He picked the first question to answer and said, "It's pretty good."

Director He tentatively held out his glass: "One?"

Xingshi drank a glass with him and persuaded him to eat.

Director He knew the principle of gradual progress. He talked about his life while eating, and occasionally clinked glasses.

Xingshi still followed his previous principle. He stopped drinking when he felt a little dizzy, saying that drinking too much would give him a headache, and he had to get up early for training tomorrow.

Director He wanted to persuade him but didn't dare to, so he could only continue eating.

After a while, he saw his son holding his chin with a lazy look on his face, and shouted, "Sui Sui."

Xingshi looked up at him.

Director He didn't see any sign of drunkenness on his face, but after a few seconds he asked, "Has anyone ever bullied you at school or outside?"

Xingshi said calmly, "No, who can bully me?"

Director He thought, yes, with his son's personality, could he be the kind of person who gets bullied?

But... he confirmed, "Really?"

Xingshi said "hmm".

Director He saw that his expression was normal, not like he was hurt, and felt a little relieved. He murmured, "That's good, that's good."

He looked at Xingshi after hearing this.

It's not easy to wander alone in another world, and change from a cool kid to what he is now.

And judging from the fact that Xingshi can absorb energy and likes to eat, it's probably not a modern society. However, there was a system, so they couldn't talk too much. They could only wait until all this was over in the future, if there ever was such a day.

He took the initiative to raise his glass and clinked glasses with them.

When Director He was not liked by his son, the other party was still a minor. This was the first time he drank with his son, and he was impressed that he finally succeeded in getting himself drunk.

After getting drunk, he became bolder. He grabbed his son's hand and said, "Sui Sui, if you have something on your mind, just say it. Do

n't hold it in." Xing Shi nodded, "No."

Director He said, "If you are bullied, just tell me. If you don't want to tell me, tell Xiu Ning. Don't carry it alone."

Xing Shi said straightforwardly, "Of course, my brother loves me the most."

Director He agreed with relief, "Yeah, Xiu Ning is a good boy, and so are you."

He pulled his son to talk for a while. Xing Shi persuaded him to go back to his room to sleep, but he refused to go. He grabbed the half bottle of wine in front of him and poured it for him and his son, insisting that it should not be wasted.

Xing Shi did it with him, and then he stood up.

Fu Xiuning came around from the opposite side and helped Xingshi into the guest room. He noticed that Xingshi was a little shaky and asked, "How are you?"

Xingshi was conscious: "I'm fine."

He put Director He on the bed and turned to walk out.

Fu Xiuning closed the door and followed behind him. He saw that he was in good condition, but his pace was very slow. He guessed that it might be because of the last glass of wine, so he asked, "Can I make you a cup of honey water?"

Xingshi looked back at him and was about to say "You are so nice" with emotion, but he remembered what happened last time.

At that time, Fu Xiuning was about to leave the restaurant, but he suddenly turned back to make him honey water. Was it because he heard something? What was he talking about with the system at that time?

He was distracted and didn't pay attention to his feet. He staggered two steps, and then he realized that his arm was grabbed. He immediately broke away. Because of the large amplitude of the movement, his body became more unstable.

Fu Xiuning hurried forward to help him. Xingshi caught a glimpse of the hand reaching out from the corner of his eye and subconsciously raised his elbow to block it. Fu Xiuning turned his wrist and grabbed him, tightening his strength this time.

Xingshi couldn't break free, so he used his other hand and went straight to his face to force him to let go.

Fu Xiuning dodged to the side and easily grabbed this hand. He staggered half a step before he could kick, and at the same time, he used one free hand to hold his waist to stabilize his body.

The confrontation was very short, only two or three seconds.

The system's alarmed voice came: "Wake up, this is Fu Xiuning!"

Xingshi just reacted instinctively, and he came to his senses the moment he stood firm.

He looked at Fu Xiuning and suddenly remembered that this young master had trained in fighting, and was usually too gentle, which always made people ignore this point.

Fu Xiuning saw that he had calmed down, lowered his eyes and looked at him: "Can you still walk?"

Xingshi said: "Yes."

Fu Xiuning did not let him go completely, but held his arm.

Xingshi followed him back to the living room slowly, a little curious: "Brother."

Fu Xiuning said: "Hmm?"

Xingshi was eager to try: "Practice?"

Fu Xiuning looked at the sober drunk and evaluated his rationality: "Now?"

Xingshi said: "I am gifted. If you don't take advantage of now, you probably won't be able to beat me."

Fu Xiuning didn't have the interest to beat him: "No appointment."

Xingshi grabbed him: "Just for a moment."

Fu Xiuning met his slightly shining eyes, and didn't want to reason with the drunkard, so he said: "Ten seconds."

Xingshi said: "Okay."

The two of them didn't need a stopwatch, just counted silently.

Fu Xiuning said "1", and saw him rushing over.

Xingshi thought he could easily beat him with two moves, but soon found out that he was naive. His mind was clear, but his body was not. His brain told him to attack in a certain direction, but his arms had their own ideas and were always a little off.

Fortunately, he was experienced in many battles, and it was difficult for Fu Xiuning to control him in a short time.

The two of them counted to 8 silently, and suddenly they heard the "click" of a door opening.

This was completely unexpected, and Fu Xiuning was halfway through his move when he quickly retreated and stood up.

As for Xingshi... his brain and body were still out of sync, and he suddenly fell on the other person due to inertia. Fu Xiuning took a half step back and hit the sofa, falling directly.

Xingshi's nose hit his collarbone, and he groaned in pain, raised his head and moved away.

Fu Xiuning grabbed him in time the moment he fell, and lowered his head when he heard the sound. The two of them looked at each other, their breathing intertwined, and they were very close to each other, and they were both stunned at the same time.

[Ding Di]

[Current Favorability: 20]

The drunk but sleepless Director He staggered out and said with a big tongue: "Sui Sui, Dad will make breakfast for you tomorrow. What do you want to eat...ah?!"

He looked at the scene in the living room and saw his son and Fu Xiuning lying on the sofa, head to head, about to kiss. Suddenly, his body was shocked and he sobered up a lot.

He asked in a trembling voice: "You...you?"

The two people in question immediately came back to their senses.

Xingshi wanted to stand up, but his hands and feet were weak and he didn't obey.

Fu Xiuning helped him sit up, put him on the empty seat next to him, and explained calmly: "Just now, Shunshun didn't stand steadily, and I didn't stand well, so we fell down."

Director He thought to himself, you are quite good at finding a place to fall, and you dare to make such an excuse to deceive children.

His eyes moved between them, and thinking about Shunshun who had been praising Fu Xiuning tonight, he understood everything.

He froze his expression: "Oh... Then what do you want to eat for breakfast?"

Xingshi said: "Anything is fine.

" Fu Xiuning said: "Me too."

Director He nodded: "Well... then okay, I'm going to sleep, you guys continue... I mean continue chatting."

The footsteps faded away, and the door was closed again.

The living room was silent.

Fu Xiuning thought to himself that he shouldn't agree to the drunk's request so easily. He stood up calmly and asked gently, "Do you still want to drink honey water?"

Xingshi became more sober after this incident and refused to admit that it was his fault.

He didn't want to leave to escape, so he said, "Drink."

Fu Xiuning turned and went to the kitchen.

Xingshi looked at his back, and his thoughts jumped to the moment when they looked at each other. He felt as if the other person's breath had just penetrated him at this moment. He touched his nose and looked away.

Fu Xiuning quickly made a glass of honey water and brought it out to him.

Xingshi thanked him and took it. He held the cup with both hands and drank the water obediently with a calm expression.

Fu Xiuning stood in front of him and looked down. Inexplicably, his mind flashed with the look of his eyes being hit and the water vapor coming out of his eyes, and he looked at himself in confusion.

[Ding Di]

[Current favorability value: 21]

Xingshi: "..."

Fu Xiuning: "..."

Xingshi handed him the cup without looking up: "I'm done."

Fu Xiuning took it and said in a normal tone: "Go to bed early."

Xingshi said "Oh", said "good night" as usual, and calmly returned to the room.

The next morning, the two met in the restaurant and automatically forgot about what happened yesterday.

And a parent who got himself drunk was hit again. He said that he would make breakfast for them but did not get up. The meal was made by the aunt.

Fu Xiuning asked her to save some food for Director He and took Xingshi to the company.

Xingshi did not receive the message from Director He until after ten o'clock.

The deposit for the house has been paid, and there are some procedures to go through later.

However, they bought the house in full, so they didn’t have to provide a series of materials such as personal credit and income proof. The procedure went very quickly. Xingshi only had to go there at noon to sign a contract.

Xingshi replied with an “OK” and saw the message “The other party is typing…” on the top. He waited for a while and found that the prompt disappeared and reappeared two seconds later.

This was repeated several times, and finally a message came.

Hehe: [When did you and Xiu Ning… happen?]

Xingshi: [We are fine, it was just a coincidence yesterday]

Hehe: [I’m not that kind of unenlightened parent]

Xingshi: [So if there is something wrong, I won’t hide it from you]

Director He was stunned and thought it made sense, and replied: [Well, if you have any problems in the future, remember to pay attention to safety]

Xingshi: [Shouldn't you confirm my sexual orientation first?]

Hehe: [You have to pay attention to safety regardless of your orientation. Besides, do you even need to ask this? If there is no problem, you will explain that you are straight right away. Don't worry, Dad is a very open-minded person]

Xingshi stared at the message for a while: [I have trained]

Hehe: [Go ahead, don't be too tired [Rose]]

Xingshi looked at his nickname and always felt like he was making fun of himself, so he changed it to "Dad".

The system understood and asked excitedly: "So you don't mind changing it to a love line, right?"

Xingshi said: "Huh?"

The system "beeped": "Huh what? Look at the fluctuations in Fu Xiuning's favorability value. I really think that the love line is conquered faster. Isn't it good to have a relationship?"

Xingshi has been upset in the magic world for a long time, and now he is indifferent to any type of relationship.

But if he were to ask himself, he really did not dislike Fu Xiuning.

However, the system has not been dismantled yet,

so there is no point in thinking about these things. When he saw the teacher coming in, he undid his messy state, got up and prepared for training.

However, the teacher was not here to teach.

She was here to convey a message: Yu Shu was looking for actors for his new song MV, and planned to select from the trainees. The people were already on the way, and would arrive at the company in ten minutes.

Everyone was immediately surprised and began to discuss in whispers.

Xing Shi had another ten minutes, so he quickly returned to the corner to be a salted fish.

Here are the pillows and neck pillows he bought, which are very comfortable when paralyzed, and they are going to become his own little nest.

Feng Zifan and Yu Yi followed closely and sat down.

Although the former was looking forward to it, he knew that his hope was not great after looking at the two people beside him, and said, "I don't know what type of song it is."

Yu Yi was curious: "Will you go outside to shoot it?"

Feng Zifan said: "If the scene requires it, yes."

Xing Shi did not participate in the discussion, but ordered the system to check.

The system quickly replied: "It's a song about secret love, it's quite nice, is it for Fu Xiuning?"

Xing Shi said: "Probably."

The system said "huh": "Then he should play it himself, the sense of substitution is so strong, so it looks miserable."

Xing Shi said: "Maybe I thought so at first, but he has to find a chance to contact me."

Maybe it was because he was too worried. After Yu Shu's "chance encounter and treat" routine didn't work last time, he didn't appear in front of him again until now, and this time he used work as an excuse.

But being too direct would also appear to have ulterior motives. He felt that Yu Shu would most likely not pick the candidates himself, and asked, "Who will pick the candidates?"

The system said, "The director of the MV."

Xing Shi said, "He has to make sure that the director picks me. What did he do?"

The system said, "Let me check... Oh, the director's phone has a record of your short video viewings. He has watched your works many times, followed by Yu Yi's."

Xing Shi said "hmm", wondering if it was Yu Shu who recommended it.

The system asked, "Do you want to agree?"

Xingshi said, "Yes."

The system said, "But didn't you say that you can't let him get close to you too easily?"

Xingshi said, "It's purely a work attitude. I'll say goodbye to him after the work is done."

The system said, "Okay, then you should be careful and don't expose yourself."

Xingshi said, "I know."

Ten minutes later, Yu Shu came with the director, and asked his assistant to buy them a bunch of food. He apologized for disturbing their training.

Of course, the trainees didn't mind, and they all looked at the director.

The director knew that they had to go to class, so he looked at people quickly. After searching the crowd, he immediately locked onto Xingshi, his eyes shining, and waved, "Come over here."

Xingshi walked over calmly despite the various gazes around him.

The director looked at him carefully, confirmed that there were no special effects in the short video, and nodded to Yu Shu.

Yu Shu was stunned for a moment, and asked Xing Shi with a smile: "Director Li said he wants to choose you, what about you, are you willing?"

Xing Shi was very happy: "Okay."

The smile on Yu Shu's face deepened immediately, and he looked very sincere. He stretched out his hand to him and said: "That's great, happy cooperation."

Xing Shi shook hands with him and smiled kindly: "Brother Yu, happy cooperation."

After the protagonist was selected, there was another supporting role.

The director was efficient and saw that Yu Yi was the same as in the short video, so he chose him.

Yu Yi was very surprised, then he came to his senses and ran to Xing Shi's side happily.

The two followed Yu Shu to sign the contract and decided to start shooting in three days. -_-!This-_-!work-_-!is-_-!produced-_-!by-_-!

Xingshi told Fu Xiuning about this that night.

Director He stayed at Qi Changyi's house in City Z. He only stayed with them for one night and left today.

Fu Xiuning was sitting on the sofa reading as usual. He glanced at him when he heard this.

The last time Yu Shu went to the school to find Xingshi, Xingshi also told him. He guessed Xingshi's intention to reject the other party at that time. This time Xingshi agreed, and he could also figure out the reason. This was to properly set some hooks for Yu Shu.

The energy of the alliance is too little, it is better to absorb the system directly.

Lin Kecheng's incident has proved that Xingshi can do this, so what they have to do next is to let the system actively abandon the host.

Fu Xiuning asked, "Where are we shooting?"

Xingshi said, "We're shooting at our school."

When he heard this location, he was not sure whether Yu Shu had chosen it for Fu Xiuning or had changed it on purpose, such as to make up for the encounter at Z University, indicating that they were actually investigating the site before.

But these were just details and not important.

He looked at the man in front of him, "Brother, this is my first job, you have to come and see me, right?"

Fu Xiuning nodded, "Of course."

Three days later, Xingshi and Yu Yi arrived at Z University.

It was summer vacation, and there were not many people on campus. The staff quickly got ready. Xingshi also put on makeup and listened to the director's talk, trying to understand.

The director asked, "Have you ever had a crush on someone?"

Xingshi shook his head.

The director patiently said, "This is a feeling of longing to get close, wanting to get along with the other person. Some trivial things in daily life can make you fantasize, and you can rush in to show your love even if knives are raining from the sky. But when you don't receive positive signals from the other person, or see the other person talking and laughing with others, you will be very depressed and dislike everything you see."

Xingshi looked at him silently.

The director said, "Do you understand? It's a feeling of both happiness and pain."

Xing Shi said, "I'm trying to understand."

The director comforted him, "Relax, don't worry."

When Fu Xiuning came over, the first thing he heard was the director's loudspeaker, "Do it again, and look outward, that's not enough."

Yu Shu was also present, and when he saw him, he immediately came up to him, "Boss, you're here?"

Fu Xiuning nodded slightly and heard his conversation with the system.

"You're right. Instead of me acting, it's better to let Xingshi act," Yu Shu said. "Fu Xiuning will definitely not watch my MV, but it's different if it's Xingshi. This is his first performance, so Fu Xiuning should watch it."

The system said, "Yes."

Yu Shu said, "Is Fu Xiuning too good to him? He came here in person to shoot an MV. Doesn't he really like him?"

The system said, "I don't know."

Yu Shu didn't ask any more questions because Fu Xiuning asked about the progress.

He explained, "Xingshi has never had a crush on anyone. The director is adjusting his status."

Fu Xiuning looked at Xingshi.

The temperature in July was very high, and even though it was cloudy today, it was still hot and humid. Xingshi stood in the corridor, performing with shining eyes according to the director's requirements.

The director said, "With your looks, when your eyes light up, you have to make people feel very sweet at first sight, understand?"

Xingshi broke out in a sweat and said seriously, "I think I'm already very sweet."

The director said, "Not enough, you can be even sweeter, listen to me!"

Xingshi knew that some directors were very strict, but he thought they were all shooting movies or TV series, and he didn't expect to bump into them when shooting an MV, so he said, "I'll give it a try."

Fu Xiuning watched for a few minutes, then took out his cell phone to call his assistant.

The latter was buying cold drinks for the crew as requested by the boss, and he agreed to the order and quickly did it.

A moment later, he came to Z University with condolences and handed the things to the boss.

Fu Xiuning took them and went to the front.

Xingshi was starting a new round of filming. He looked up and saw Fu Xiuning.

The other party raised his hand to him, with a large cup of vanilla ice cream on it. His eyes lit up instantly.

The director shouted: "Yes, yes, that's the look!"

He was very excited: "I said you could be sweeter, how great, what did you see..."

He turned around and looked at the thing in Fu Xiuning's hand, and was silent.

So he said a lot of things with great sincerity, but it was not as effective as a cup of ice cream?
