Variety shows
After the filming of "The Echo of Blue Luan" was completed, Gu Zian had a rare few days of relaxing vacation.
But Xia Zhitang couldn't rest. She followed Lin Jingming non-stop to enter the post-production process.
Gu Zian followed Xia Zhitang to the editing room every day under the pretext of studying. Lin Jingming grabbed him to collect materials in the name of checking his acting skills on the big screen. His life was painful but fulfilling.
Xia Zhitang finally had some free time, and the two of them went back to Gu's house to have dinner with Gu's father.
At the dinner table, Mr. Gu asked about the situation on the set and the details of the subsequent publicity and release schedule, and then let the busy couple go back.
As soon as the two closed the door, Gu Zian couldn't wait to push the person onto the soft bed.
"I just finished my meal." Xia Zhitang smiled and pushed his chest.
"Just right for digestion." Gu Zian's fangs had begun to rub her earlobe.
Since his foot injury healed, he's been incredibly busy filming, and even after filming wrapped, Lam King-ming pressed him to pull in material every day. It's been almost three months, leaving him with very little energy for anything more personal.
Now that I finally have some free time and privacy, the desire that has been suppressed for several months erupts like a volcano.
"This isn't digestion at all." Xia Zhitang squinted his eyes and hugged Gu Zian. He couldn't help but take the initiative to kiss the corner of Gu Zian's mouth, "This is just another meal."
Her voice was delicate and melodious, like a feather gently caressing Gu Zian's heart.
"Sister." He leaned over and kissed Xia Zhitang's moist red lips.
"Hmm?" Xia Zhitang raised his head and kissed her back.
"I'm hungry." Gu Zian stroked her lips with a hoarse voice.
"Yeah." Xia Zhitang bit his lower lip and responded, his voice rising like a sweet oriole, "Me too."
Gu Zian's eyes were filled with stars, and he leaned over to deepen the kiss.
The two of them, their bodies and minds filled again, lay lazily on the bed and watched a movie.
Gu Zian watched the love-hate entanglement between the male and female protagonists on the screen, and his thoughts slowly drifted away.
"Sister." Gu Zian put his head on Xia Zhitang's shoulder, "You still have to stay with Lin Jingming for a few months!"
"Are you jealous again?" Xia Zhitang stroked Gu Zian's hair with some comfort.
Gu Zian still didn't know that Lin Jingming had confessed his feelings to Xia Zhitang in private. For a moment, he wanted to whisper something to Xia Zhitang, but he didn't know where to start.
When Xia Zhitang saw Gu Zian's conflicted look, he guessed that Gu Zian knew exactly what he was thinking about Lin Jingming, which he was too lazy to hide.
She thought about it, then pulled the remote control over and turned off the video.
"Zi'an, I rejected his confession."
Gu Zian sat up straight: "When?"
Xia Zhitang was stunned for a moment. He had rejected many hints, big and small, but he couldn't answer them many times...
"Sister?" Gu Zian became inexplicably nervous.
"Come back after filming the variety show!" Xia Zhitang came back to his senses, "I clearly refused."
"Sister, a strong woman is afraid of being clingy with men." Gu Zian looked at Xia Zhitang with resentment.
"He's been pestering me for so many years without success." Xia Zhitang sighed, "He hinted at it when I first worked with him."
"Shameless!" Gu Zian punched the pillow angrily.
"It's very shameless." Xia Zhitang reached out and stroked Gu Zian's angular face. "Before, Xia Zhitang, who had little influence, never agreed to it. Now, Xia Zhitang, who dares to hit him, will definitely not agree to it."
Xia Zhitang recalled a scene buried deep in her memory: the first time Lin Jingming asked her to ride alone in his car, under the pretext of work. Her mind went blank for a moment, and then she subconsciously asked him why. What had Lin Jingming said? His reason was a bit far-fetched, and she hurriedly refused with an even more far-fetched reason.
Recalling the past, Xia Zhitang suddenly realized that he had treated Gu Zian differently a long time ago.
She did not reject Gu Zian's physical contact, was not on guard against him, and also acquiesced to his kiss.
Xia Zhitang turned his gaze back to Gu Zian, who was stunned and didn't know what to say, and suddenly held his face with both hands and kissed him.
Gu Zian was stunned and didn't react.
Xia Zhitang sighed softly and bit his lower lip lightly.
Under Gu Zian's wet gaze, she opened her eyes slightly: "Zi'an, I think I like you more than I thought."
Instantly, Gu Zian's eyes flashed with light. His body reacted faster than his brain, and by the time he regained consciousness, he had already embraced Xia Zhitang and kissed her.
"Sister, say it again." He panted and slightly loosened his soft lips, but their breaths were still entangled.
"Yeah, I like you very much." Xia Zhitang put his cheek close to his and spoke softly in his ear, but his tone was firm and unquestionable.
Although Xia Zhitang had told him that she liked him countless times, Gu Zian inexplicably felt that this time she finally realized the deep feelings that belonged to her.
He couldn't help but happily pick up Xia Zhitang and spin around.
Xia Zhitang smiled and held Gu Zian's shoulders tightly. The orange light cast their overlapping shadows on the snow-white plush carpet.
At the variety show shooting site, Gu Zian and Lin Jingming sat on opposite sides of the sofa in the lounge, looking away and not looking at each other.
Lin Jingming wore a blue vest with a white shirt and blue trousers, with gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and his hair styled into a ponytail with hairspray, looking like a gentleman.
Gu Zian wore ripped jeans and a skull-patterned sweatshirt. Metal rings adorned his slender fingers, and a silver necklace, a birthday gift from Xia Zhitang, adorned his neck. A makeup artist had painted a pink heart on the corner of his eye, and his hair, styled into wisps with gel and dotted with tiny blue glitter, gave him the appearance of a cool, handsome, and sunny teenager.
"Please remember the character settings in the script." Cheng Shubai, sitting in the center opposite them, cleared his throat. "This is for the promotion of 'The Echo of the Blue Luan'. This is for the promotion of 'The Echo of the Blue Luan'. This is for the promotion of 'The Echo of the Blue Luan'. Important things must be said three times!"
"You're so nagging." Lin Jingming leaned lazily on the sofa and adjusted the brick-inlaid watch on his wrist.
"Don't worry, Brother Cheng, I will cooperate with you." Gu Zian sat upright on the chair, his fangs showing in his smile, but unfortunately his acting skills were still lacking some quality and seemed a little stiff.
Cheng Shubai immediately regretted the promotional plan he had written in a moment of impulsiveness. Why had he chosen such a hellish mode...
There was a knock on the door of the lounge, and the staff member pushed it open with a smile: "Hello, teachers, Teacher Xia, please come this way."
Xia Zhitang walked in with her skirt pressed down. In an instant, Gu Zian and Lin Jingming's eyes were glued to her.
"Mr. Cheng, I'd like to ask to change my pants." Xia Zhitang tried hard to hold down her fluffy princess skirt, feeling very uncomfortable.
Her hair was half-tied up with a dark red velvet bow, the ends of her hair tied up, and her ears were pinned with gleaming dark red ruby studs. She wore a white shirt, similar to Lin Jingming's, paired with a slim dark red vest. Her lower body was a dark red, exaggerated puffy skirt, and red Martin boots with a slight heel, which highlighted her sleek legs.
This outfit is very picky, but it looks surprisingly harmonious on her, with a sweet and bold look.
"Change your pants, this one is so revealing." Gu Zian's eyes were filled with amazement.
Lin Jingming had already taken out his cell phone and took several photos while no one was paying attention.
"This is the most suitable outfit for today's backup. Plus, there's a bustle and pumpkin pants underneath the skirt, so it won't be revealing at all." The staff member bent over and looked at Cheng Shubai awkwardly as they explained, "The other outfits don't quite match the two teachers' clothes."
"Change to a less exaggerated crinoline, secure the skirt to the crinoline with needle and thread, and add a pair of flesh-colored stockings." Lin Jingming put away his phone and directed calmly, "Don't be nervous. The skirt will make your legs look longer and will look good on camera."
The staff member chimed in as if they had been pardoned: "Director Lin is right. The camera can easily make people look fat. Puffy skirts make people look thinner on camera."
Cheng Shubai glanced at the smiling Lin Jingming subtly, then turned to look at Xia Zhitang and said soothingly, "This is for the promotion of 'The Echo of the Blue Luan'."
On the stage, Xia Zhitang was sandwiched between Gu Zian and Lin Jingming, and the lights were so bright that it was difficult to open his eyes.
The host called out Gu Zian and Lin Jingming in turn before it was Xia Zhitang's turn.
"Excuse me, what is the relationship between Producer Xia and Director Lin?"
"He was my mentor in this business and has been my partner for many years."
"You're both teachers and friends! Then please evaluate each other." The host's expression was exaggerated. "Please don't hold back when criticizing each other!"
"I dare not, she will beat me." Lin Jingming looked at Xia Zhitang with a smile.
"I don't believe it, Producer Xia is so cute!" The host pretended to be surprised.
"When I went over budget, she would slam the table and argue with me. She's serious and persistent at work." Lin Jingming looked at Xia Zhitang with gentle yet helpless eyes. "She's a perfect student, but a little fierce."
"Perfect student, that's such a high evaluation!" The host turned to cue Xia Zhitang, "What does Producer Xia think of Director Lin?"
“The professional level is first-rate.”
Xia Zhitang glanced at the smug Lin Jingming and said as tactfully as possible, "It's just a little annoying."
Lin Jingming smiled and looked at Xia Zhitang's profile, and silently answered in his heart: I just like to bother you.
"Haha, it looks like Producer Xia and Director Lin must be having a lot of fun together on set." The host turned the topic to Gu Zian. "As far as I know, Mr. Gu recently collaborated with Director Lin and Producer Xia on a new drama. Could you please introduce it to us?"
Gu Zian felt a little sorry that the host didn't ask about his relationship with Xia Zhitang. He had already secretly prepared a perfect draft.
After a round of question and answer process, the game session began.
When drawing lots for the groups, Gu Zian took out a blue ball, while Xia Zhitang and Lin Jingming took out a pink one.
"Producer Xia and Director Lin are a group. Please come up with a name for the group!" the host announced loudly while holding up the microphone.
Lin Jingming looked at Gu Zian with a smug look on his face: "The strongest teacher-student combination!"
