confession
On the first day Xia Zhitang returned from vacation, she noticed Lin Jingming's various childish behaviors.
When he was discussing a play with the actors, he especially liked to call her along, and would ask her questions from time to time and ask her to answer them.
For some important scenes, he would ask her to sit next to the monitor and ask for her opinion.
She also had a lot of work to do on the set, and she was very busy as soon as she came back.
After being called over by Lin Jingming again, Xia Zhitang could no longer suppress the resentment in his heart and stared at Lin Jingming.
Lin Jingming turned around and saw Xia Zhitang's serious look and was startled. He knew that he was annoying, but who made Xia Zhitang leave him to watch the place and go out to play?
Lin Jingming said to himself, isn’t it okay for the director to have a bit of a “temper”?
Seeing Lin Jingming pretending to be stupid, Xia Zhitang said resentfully, "Let's talk tonight. I'm still busy with the documents I've accumulated over the past two days. Please let me finish them."
"The work here is also very important!" Lin Jingming said confidently, "You need to learn how to coordinate."
"I'll buy you some coffee." Xia Zhitang sighed, "Stop messing around."
"You're just going to get rid of me with a cup of coffee?" Lin Jingming tried hard to keep the corners of his mouth from curling up.
"Really?" Xia Zhitang looked at him sideways.
"Yes!" Lin Jingming guessed that if Xia Zhitang continued to make trouble, he might not be able to help but beat him in public, so he decided to stop while he was ahead.
After the show in the evening, Xia Zhitang went to the director's lounge to find Lin Jingming to sign the contract as usual.
"You need to look at these carefully." Xia Zhitang divided the list into two parts and pointed to one of the stacks and gave specific instructions.
He has been signing contracts at an increasingly faster pace recently, and Xia Zhitang will know that this person did not look carefully.
Sometimes she felt that she had become a producer of the investors. As long as she had anything to do with Lin Jingming, she was just a qualified cow or a horse, and a stainless steel cow or a horse at that.
After handing over the work, Lin Jingming poured her a cup of red date and wolfberry tea.
"When did you become so health-conscious?" Xia Zhitang asked in disbelief, looking at the wolfberries floating in the cup.
"Girls need to take care of themselves." Lin Jingming wouldn't tell her that he had specifically checked this. "Especially you, you need to replenish your Qi and blood to have the strength to work better."
"Better to be your personal assistant?" Xia Zhitang said sarcastically.
"You weren't like this before?" Lin Jingming looked at Xia Zhitang strangely. "You obviously like studying very much."
"Then you can't always call me for everything like you did today!" Xia Zhitang really wanted to grab Lin Jingming's collar and shake him awake, "I'm busy too!"
"Okay, I'll pay attention." Lin Jingming knew he was in the wrong and agreed readily.
"I want to record." Xia Zhitang turned on the recording button on his phone. "Please speak loudly into the phone. If you do it again next time, I'll use the amplifier!"
"Are you serious?" Lin Jingming stretched his neck to look at the interface of her mobile phone, and it was indeed set to recording mode.
"Hurry up and tell me!" Xia Zhitang kicked his stool and urged him.
"I like you." Lin Jingming looked at Xia Zhitang and suddenly said.
Xia Zhitang felt his mind go blank and his face turned red. Then he remembered that something was wrong.
She's still recording!
I pressed the record button in a panic and almost dropped my phone.
Lin Jingming grabbed Xia Zhitang's wrist and said, "Calm down."
"I have a boyfriend!" Xia Zhitang looked up at Lin Jingming, her expression mixed with emotions that she herself could not explain.
"I know, I don't mean to break you up." Lin Jingming pinched her wrist and pressed his thumb on her wet palm.
Xia Zhitang looked a little confused. She didn't know what Lin Jingming's sudden confession meant.
She had guessed about this result. After all, if Lin Jingming didn't have a good impression of her, he wouldn't have treated her differently from others.
But the tacit understanding among adults is to weigh the pros and cons and not easily expose themselves to others.
Ever since she chose to be with Gu Zian, she subconsciously ignored this possibility.
No, Xia Zhitang felt the unfamiliar temperature on her wrist, and she suddenly realized that she knew what Lin Jingming meant, but she chose to ignore it.
She was probably both excited and scared about this truth.
Lin Jingming was not in a hurry to get Xia Zhitang to respond. He knew too well that Xia Zhitang was the type of person who would escape when he couldn't face a situation.
These days he suddenly realized that no matter whether it was the first time he resigned or when he escaped from the crew of "Blue Luan Jie" in the face of his anger, Xia Zhitang always had the attitude of decisively leaving and choosing a different lifestyle if he couldn't face it.
Lin Jingming also knew that it would be wrong to ask Xia Zhitang to give up Gu Zian now, but he was unwilling to do so. He was unwilling to be misunderstood by Xia Zhitang, and he was unwilling to let his true feelings go unnoticed.
This is also the reason why he chose to confess his feelings at this unexpected time. It doesn't matter even if he is rejected. The fact that he likes her cannot be changed. In this case, let this love live in the sun.
A few minutes passed, and Xia Zhitang did not shake off Lin Jingming's hand, nor did she respond. She felt that she could not sort out her thoughts for a while, and she could not agree, nor did she know how to respond.
"You don't need to make any promises to me." Lin Jingming estimated the time, held her hand and sorted out his thoughts, "I don't mind being your lover."
Xia Zhitang raised his head quickly.
Lin Jingming clearly sensed from her eyes what pupil shaking meant. Although he had expected it, his heart still sank when he faced this scene.
He took advantage of Xia Zhitang's reaction and quickly finished the next sentence: "I won't interfere with your relationship with the little wolf dog."
He paused, and said with some difficulty: "Take a good look at me, okay?"
"Lin Jingming, please don't be like this." At this moment, Xia Zhitang felt the sadness in Lin Jingming for the first time.
Lin Jingming panicked when he saw Xia Zhitang's tears. He never expected Xia Zhitang to cry.
Xia Zhitang felt that she should hug Lin Jingming, but she couldn't give Lin Jingming unnecessary fantasies at this juncture.
She put her eyes on the wrist held by Lin Jingming, and her warm tears wet their intertwined hands.
Lin Jingming froze and dared not move. Xia Zhitang didn't say anything else, but Lin Jingming understood what she wanted to express.
He stood up and had many more questions to ask, but he felt that the best time had been missed.
Lin Jingming grabbed a strand of her hair and gently stroked it amidst her tears.
Xia Zhitang didn't know how long she had been crying. When this turbulent wave of emotions calmed down, she raised her face, her eyes were as red as a little rabbit's.
Lin Jingming looked at her expression carefully, and when he felt no resistance from her, he reluctantly let go of her wrist.
He silently handed her a tissue and poured her some ice water.
Xia Zhitang looked at Lin Jingming and wanted to persuade him to have a good relationship, but when she thought of Lin Jingming's personality, she felt that the more she spoke, the more wrong she would be.
Now she didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of irritating Lin Jingming's sensitive nerves.
The two of them sat in the lounge for a while, looking at each other in silence. Xia Zhitang took out his cell phone to look at his red and swollen nose behind his glasses, and kicked the leg of Lin Jingming's stool.
"Do you have a mask?" Her voice was still hoarse from crying.
Lin Jingming silently took it out and handed it to her.
Xia Zhitang put on a mask, covered the hood of his coat, and stood up to go out.
His hand had already touched the door handle, but he turned back and bent over to look Lin Jingming, who was sitting on a stool, in the eye.
"Your proposal will not be passed." Her red eyes were full of seriousness.
"Really?" Lin Jingming's voice trembled slightly.
"No." Xia Zhitang refused in a gentle but firm tone.
"Okay." Lin Jingming laughed at himself.
Xia Zhitang really wanted to rub the head of this man who had no idea what was going on, but in the end he forced himself to hold back.
"You are still the director I respect." This is the only promise she can make.
"If you can't say anything else, just leave." Lin Jingming turned his face away and refused to look at her.
Xia Zhitang stared at his expression, thought for a moment, then turned and left.
Cheng Shubai was holding up his phone and video chatting with Tongtong when the hotel doorbell started ringing rapidly.
"Who is it?" He walked to open the door impatiently in his slippers, only to see Lin Jingming standing at the door dejectedly with a big bag of things in his hand.
"Tongtong? Uncle Lin wants to talk to your dad about something, so he's hanging up first." Lin Jingming snatched Cheng Shubai's phone and clicked off the video.
"I haven't said goodbye to her yet!" Cheng Shubai wailed, snatched the phone back, and sent several more emojis.
Lin Jingming placed the contents of the bag on Cheng Shubai's desk, took out a wine glass and opened a bottle of wine.
"What's up? You want to chat with me so late at night?" Cheng Shubai opened the Japanese food that Lin Jingming brought. "Oh, you spent a lot of money?"
Lin Jingming said nothing, poured two glasses of wine, picked up one and took a sip.
"White? You don't have to shoot tomorrow?" Cheng Shubai took a sip of wine, and the strong smell of alcohol rushed into his nose.
"It's okay with Xia Zhitang watching over us." Lin Jingming drank another glass.
"You had a fight with her again?" Cheng Shubai couldn't help but be shocked. He had already started to think about transferring Xia Zhitang away for the next project. These three together were simply hell mode.
"She refused me to be her lover."
These strange words came out calmly from Lin Jingming's mouth, shocking Cheng Shubai so much that he choked on the wine and kept coughing.
"What did you say?" Cheng Shubai coughed in shock, "You're her lover?"
"Men can have red flags flying at home and colorful flags flying outside, so why can't women?" Lin Jingming looked at Cheng Shubai righteously.
"Didn't she kick you out?" Cheng Shubai looked at the man in front of him with an indescribable expression.
"She's crying." Lin Jingming grabbed the wine glass and drank another one.
Cheng Shubai couldn't help but marvel at it, and then he finally realized where Lin Jingming's previous outrageous confidence came from.
"Happy heartbreak." Cheng Shubai poured him wine with mixed feelings.
"You're the one who's heartbroken!" Lin Jingming didn't think there was no hope. "After I finish this film, I'm going to make a documentary!"
"Good thing, now let's shift our focus to our career."
Although he didn't know how Lin Jingming figured it out so quickly, Cheng Shubai sincerely agreed with this decision.
Lin Jingming didn't know what Cheng Shubai was thinking. He had already recovered from being rejected for who knows how many times and started a new battle plan.
