The rumors about Shen Po and Murong Liang's affair gradually disappeared, but other rumors were fermenting. As the news of "cooperation intention" was announced, their old grudge was dug up.
This old feud is still very legendary. Who would have thought that the current movie star Shen Po was kicked out of the crew by Murong Liang? Who would have thought that these two people would "have the intention to cooperate" again now? Does it mean that the movie star also worked hard bit by bit to get to the top? Does it mean that Murong Liang finally recognized Shen Po's acting skills?
As a result, the audience felt a little closer to Shen Po, and when talking about his acting skills, they no longer called him a talented actor, but instead called him a down-to-earth actor who worked hard to improve.
Li Yuebai didn't take these discussions to heart.
After all, these are all grudges between the original owners and have nothing to do with me.
He is now wholeheartedly thinking about teasing Shen Po, and he chases after Shen Po whenever he has time. When asked by the media, he says that he is trying hard to seek cooperation.
Shen Po tried to avoid him as much as possible, and tried to dodge whenever he could, but Li Yuebai came so often that he was unable to dodge one time and was caught red-handed.
"How about it, Shen Po, what do you think about the cooperation?" Li Yuebai approached with a wicked smile of predatory intent on his face, stretched out his hands, and pushed Shen Po against the wall and trapped him.
In fact, Murong Liang is ten centimeters shorter than Shen Po, so this wall-dong looks very awkward.
"..." Shen Po lowered his head to look at Murong Liang's hair - he didn't know what the big producer Murong was up to, or what fashion trend he was following, he actually dyed his hair again, a small bunch of red on the left, a small bunch of blue on the right, and wore two silver earrings, which really matched his high-profile and excessive style.
Moreover, that vague sense of familiarity came back again.
"Are you still angry with me about what happened back then?" Li Yuebai raised his head, raised his eyebrows and asked maliciously.
Which thing?
Shen Po was a little confused for a moment.
"You haven't forgotten, have you? It was me who kicked you out of the crew..." Li Yuebai reminded.
The blood vessels on Shen Po's forehead throbbed.
It turned out to be an old story that was recently brought up again by the media. If I hadn’t been reminded, I wouldn’t have remembered it.
The media and the public have always regarded this incident as the most important conflict between Shen Po and Murong Liang, an insurmountable hurdle, but they did not expect that neither of these two time travelers took the matter to heart.
When Shen Po traveled through time, the incident had already happened, so there was certainly no mental damage. However, he could not immediately show magnanimity and say he didn't care. This would be too unlike the original owner.
"What do you think?" Shen Po asked back with a straight face.
"I think?" Li Yuebai raised his eyebrows: "I think I am too hateful, it is simply unforgivable!"
Although he said this, there was no trace of guilt on his face.
"That's too much." Shen Po said lightly.
If this is truly unforgivable, then what is the point of our current cooperation?
"So I really want to apologize sincerely." Li Yuebai came up and said, "What kind of apology do you like? Pick any."
Shen Po's expression became even stiffer.
The usual way of apologizing is too high-profile. We are already mired in rumors and cannot extricate ourselves. If we were to apologize even more high-profile, it would simply be too much to bear. It would be better not to apologize.
"No need." Shen Po said expressionlessly: "It was because I was not capable enough back then. It has nothing to do with you."
"Then I'll treat you to a meal, alone." Li Yuebai said, "It's settled."
"No need..." Before Shen Po could say the words of refusal, he saw the person in front of him turned around and left with satisfaction.
Fortunately, this scene was not witnessed by any journalists or media, but only by Shen Po's agent.
However, within an hour, Shen Po's agent, including the entire team, fell into a strange anxiety - was Murong Liang trying to set a hidden rule for Shen Po?
This speculation made the agent feel uneasy, thinking it was too absurd. I have heard of producers' unspoken rules for 18th-tier celebrities, but I have never heard of producers' unspoken rules for movie stars! What on earth is wrong with Murong Liang?
Thinking about it carefully, Murong Liang has been very strange these days, especially in his attitude towards Shen Po. It is obvious that he has bad intentions. Even those recent troublesome rumors were all instigated by Murong Liang. It seems that Shen Po has been entangled by this man.
This time he invited Shen Po to dinner alone, and he might take the opportunity to do something bad.
But what if Murong Liang didn't have any bad intentions? What if all of Murong Liang's weird behavior was because he was a workaholic? After all, Murong Liang was a gold medal producer in the industry, and it would be bad to offend him casually...
In anxiety, the agent, with the mentality of a hen protecting her chicks, pulled the entire team together to develop a set of countermeasures - let Shen Po go to the banquet fully armed with a recorder, portable camera, walkie-talkie, anti-wolf spray and a series of other equipment. If nothing happens, that's good, but if Murong Liang really reveals his true nature, he will be slapped in the face immediately and all contact will be cut off from then on.
Shen Po didn't want to go at first, but when he saw the team's extremely alert attitude, he suddenly felt like he was being treated as a weak victim.
If I don't go, wouldn't that mean I'm afraid of Murong Liang?
Thus, Li Yuebai's long-awaited first solo date began in such a strange atmosphere.
"Shen Po, pay attention to your surroundings and see if there are any strange cameras at three o'clock. Then recite the close combat mantras silently again..." The agent was still giving long-winded instructions from a distance.
"..." Shen Po was confused by the nagging voice coming from the headphones. He turned down the volume and walked into Murong Liang's residence.
He never imagined that Murong Liang would host a banquet for him on the rooftop.
There is a small garden on the roof of Murong Liang's residence. The environment is pretty good. Now that night has fallen, the sky is clear, the dark blue sky is dotted with bright stars, and the scenery is intoxicating.
"Hey, Shen Po, you're here." Li Yuebai saw Shen Po coming to the rooftop and waved to him hurriedly, "There's a sofa over there, sit down, and get whatever you want to drink."
Shen Po couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Before reaching the rooftop, he really couldn't help but imagine in his mind - would Murong Liang be wearing an evening gown, with a rose in his mouth and a bunch of roses in his hands, and then wave his hands to set off fireworks all over the sky... and so on? Given Murong Liang's personality, he could definitely do such a thing.
Fortunately not.
Murong Liang was just naturally wearing a white shirt and black casual pants, walking back and forth on the rooftop, holding a wine glass in his hand that he would use later. He looked completely normal, just like inviting friends to dinner at home. No, to be more precise, with Murong Liang's attitude, he did not regard himself as a guest who came to dinner at home, but as a long-term roommate.
"Host, your dinner invitation is too insincere." The system could no longer tolerate it: "The other party is Shen Po, how can you be so casual?"
"How can it be casual?" Li Yuebai said aggrievedly: "I have been preparing for a whole week!"
"What have you prepared?"
"Purify the air." Li Yuebai pointed to the sky above his head: "In order to let Shen Po see the 400 billion stars clearly..."
"Shen Po doesn't like looking at the stars, thank you." The system said coldly.
"Why not?" Li Yuebai asked angrily, "Do you understand him better than I do?"
"..." The system suddenly felt that the host's IQ had dropped to a terrifying negative value since he exchanged secret codes with his partner.
Of course Li Yuebai couldn't let Shen Po sit alone for too long, so he came over and sat down in front of him after a while.
"How about it? The rooftop is nice, isn't it?" Li Yuebai said, "This will also become a filming location. Come and experience it first."
"I didn't say I would take your movie." Shen Po said lightly.
"Mr. Shen, even if you don't want to take the offer, please don't say it now, okay?" Li Yuebai raised his eyebrows and pretended to be angry, "Can't you leave me a little fantasy?"
"You definitely have more than a few fantasies..." the system interrupted.
"Don't talk." Li Yuebai said angrily.
"..." The system said: "Host, have you always been so complacent?"
"You can say that." Li Yuebai pondered for a second.
"But you have been relatively calm since we started working together, rarely like now..."
"That's because I've been trying to restrain myself." Li Yuebai sighed: "If you see the first system I wore in the data stream, you can ask him how exaggerated and complacent I was at the beginning."
"So your true nature is exposed now?" The system was shocked.
"Yes." Li Yuebai admitted, "Because I am so happy."
"I understand, but you still have to be careful. What if Shen Po dislikes you?" the system worriedly asked.
"That's the problem. Shen Po doesn't have a fixed template of what he likes. To be more precise, he doesn't have a favorite type. Everything I try to pretend won't work on him." Li Yuebai said, "So, it's better to be more real."
"But you are really going too far!"
Ignoring the system's roar, Li Yuebai staggered with each step, humming a song as he personally brought the food over.
Shen Po was startled by the food on the plate.
He never imagined that Murong Liang would treat him to barbecue.
The huge silver tray was filled with bunches of grilled skewers, including lamb, beef, pork, chicken wings, tendons, and corn, all sprinkled with tempting cumin grains. They were freshly grilled and the aroma was irresistible.
How many years has it been since I last saw something like this?
"...I can't eat this because of work." Shen Po refused decisively.
"Don't hold it in your hand." Li Yuebai smiled and picked up a skewer and passed it over: "You obviously want to eat it."
“…”
"Really not going to eat it? Then I'll eat it for you to see?" Li Yuebai took it back with regret and took a bite: "I say, you and I are not from this world anyway, there is no need to abide by the actor's code so strictly, it's okay to eat a little occasionally..."
Shen Po looked at the other person helplessly, and couldn't understand why the other person was so happy.
The next second, he felt his brain explode.
Anyway, you and I are not from this world?
Didn't Murong Liang just say with a clear conscience, "Anyway, you and I are not from this world"? ?
"..." Shen Po didn't know how to cover it up for a moment. Should he pretend that he didn't hear it, or pretend that he didn't understand it? Could it be that the other party saw through the fact that he was a time traveler?
"Don't pretend, little Shen Po." Li Yuebai took another skewer of chicken hearts and said, "Please interpret the words I just said as you like."
He knew that Shen Po had various recording devices installed on him, and that they were even directly connected to the agent team. It was inconvenient to explain it too clearly, so it was better to be vague.
"What do you know?" Shen Po calmed down and asked back.
"I know everything." Li Yuebai put down the empty bamboo stick: "Why else do you think I would exchange secret signals with you?"
"How much does that code have to do with me?"
"Of course there is. It is directly related to whether you can succeed in your life." Li Yuebai said seriously: "But, considering that you don't fully trust me yet...we can slowly figure everything out. There is no need to rush."
Shen Po lowered his head and thought for a moment, then finally raised his head and calmly took a few skewers of beef from the plate.
