Gu Qingchi was still a little confused when he opened his eyes. The ceiling was light yellow, and it was not his home.
The lying area is a little small, but it is completely surrounded, which makes people feel safe.
There was also the sound of something being frying, plain and simple, just like every family, with a strong sense of home.
As soon as he woke up, Xie Luyu discovered it.
"Are you awake? Go wash up, and you'll be ready for dinner soon."
Xie Luyu prepared a simple breakfast, without any particular requirements. He just used his free hand to make scallion egg pancakes and seafood porridge. In order to ensure a balanced nutrition, he also cut a plate of fruit.
He had long discovered that Gu Qingchi's taste was very Chinese, tending towards salty.
Gu Qingchi is now in a rare state of peace.
For quite a long time, he was in a state of having no interest in anything.
But after he got out of the bad state he was in last night, he suddenly became as cold as usual.
Xie Luyu didn't mention what happened last night at all. He was busy with his work and didn't even look at Gu Qingchi, as if nothing had happened.
"I originally called Ye Li and thought about asking my assistant to bring the key when he came to deliver the script today, but Ye Li said he had something to talk to you about and said he would come at ten o'clock."
Gu Qingchi hummed.
After a while he said again.
"Thanks."
I don’t know if he was talking about last night or about the key.
"Don't worry. I'm your senior after all. It's just a matter of convenience. Don't worry about it."
After breakfast, Gu Qingchi went to wash the dishes.
He would feel uneasy if he could not give back after receiving help and care for them inexplicably.
"Hey, stop."
Xie Luyu put away the dishes and chopsticks quickly and placed the cut fruits in front of Gu Qingchi.
"You don't have to be embarrassed. My food is not for free. You have to pay it back. Will you play a game with me later? It's a two-player game. I've wanted to play it for a long time, but I never had the chance."
Xie Luyu spread the blanket on the floor and put two cushions there. All the equipment was ready and in the room.
He pulled out a game disc.
"Just take a look at how to play first, I'll come over in a bit."
Gu Qingchi agreed, and when Xie Luyu finished packing and went over, he saw him seriously fiddling with the game controller and studying the rules.
Few people play games so seriously, as if what he is holding is not the game instruction manual but some serious literature.
The little tabby cat stayed quietly beside Gu Qingchi. Its owner ignored it and it was having a lot of fun playing by itself, using its hands and feet to chew on the rough edge of the mat.
When Xie Luyu came over, he put down the instruction manual, turned around, and promised seriously.
"I will try my best."
The serious attitude of the good student Gu Qingchi made Xie Luyu, a poor student who had originally planned to play around, straighten his back unconsciously.
This is a sand sculpture game. The characters are all geometric figures. Two figures work together to pass the level.
After a few rounds.
The good student Gu Qingchi died six times in various postures.
The poor student Xie Luyu didn't think it was a big deal at first, and later he tried to die in front of Gu Qingchi once or twice to show that it was really easy to die in this stupid game.
It ended in failure. It's really not easy to die once in this game...
Xie Luyu thought, why not try another game.
Before he could open his mouth, Gu Qingchi swiftly started a new game, holding the controller, ready to go. Seeing that Xie Luyu's little man didn't move, he looked over in confusion and urged him to act with his eyes.
Xie Luyu:……
Forget it, just be happy.
Ye Li arrived very quickly. He was in a hurry and didn't even enter the door. He greeted Xie Luyu politely at the door and then gestured to Gu Qingchi.
"Let's talk in your living room."
Ye Li packed up the things with familiarity.
"The role I informed you about earlier is no longer available. You don't need to read the script recently. Someone else took the role out of nowhere, and the crew chose to pay the penalty."
Ye Li has been in the industry for so many years, and he is used to seeing things like breach of contract before joining a group.
The competition for resources is far more intense than imagined.
But grabbing it doesn’t mean you win.
It’s really hard to say whether it’s popular or not.
Of course you can promote him/her, and by investing a lot of resources in him/her, he/she can become well-known, but it is hard to say whether he/she will be popular or not.
There are people like Gu Qingchi who became famous without investing much resources, and there are also people who invested a lot of resources but nothing happened.
He placed a pile of notebooks in front of Gu Qingchi, four or five in total.
"You won't be able to find any recent events for a while. Here are some good ones I found. I've screened them all. Pick one."
Gu Qingchi lowered his head and looked for a while, then finally took out a book in the middle, raised his eyes and handed it to Ye Li.
Ye Li didn't care whether Gu Qingchi just picked one at random, as long as he put it in front of Gu Qingchi, it was basically okay.
Ye Li took it and flipped it over. Halfway through, his eyelids twitched.
This is the only script he has been hesitant about whether to take.
There is no other reason. The character in the story is a villain. His only characteristic is that he is bad, bad to the core.
If the previous character was just a minor prankster, he made people love and hate him.
Then this character is completely evil.
Such a role performance is bound to be controversial.
In the past, when actors played villains well, many of them were scolded by the audience for their sincere feelings in real life.
If it weren't for the fact that this was a big production that would be released simultaneously in China and abroad, Ye Li would not have considered it at all.
There are pros and cons, but I don’t know what the outcome will be. Ye Li nodded.
"I have to tell you first, it doesn't matter whether you play this role well or not. If you play it badly, you will be criticized for your acting skills. If you play it well, there will definitely be a lot of people who will sincerely criticize your role."
"Also, this director has a bad temper. The reason why he is so happy not to even audition you is because even if you join the crew, he will kick you out immediately if you don't meet his expectations."
Gu Qingchi nodded to show that he understood.
Ye Li felt relieved after getting the vaccination.
"Then this one."
He put away the documents.
"I picked all these scripts on the spur of the moment. It will take quite some time before the filming starts. You should go out more these days. There is no sound at all. It won't be good if you stay like that for a long time."
Gu Qingchi is such a worry-free and well-behaved person, he has basically never been photographed outside.
Gu Qingchi nodded.
Ye Li continued.
“Then this is definitely the role.”
"By the way, Xie Luyu has been hiding from the limelight recently. He lives next door to you. I forgot to tell you before, but now you know it. Stay away from him. It's easy for him to accidentally hurt you."
This time Gu Qingchi hesitated.
Xie Luyu’s cooking is really delicious.
Fortunately, Ye Li added.
"It's not that scary actually. Just be careful about your disguise when you go out, or spend less time with him. Xie Luyu is a good person, and I see you have a good relationship with him. It won't hurt to visit him more often and build a good relationship with him."
Ever since Xie Luyu moved next door to Gu Qingchi, Gu Qingchi said goodbye to takeout and his life has become much more regular.
He would still drink late into the night and then sleep until noon.
But at lunchtime, both the man and the cat were very conscious.
Xie Luyu even added a new cat climbing frame to his home.
Little Lihua likes the cat food made by Xie Luyu, but still doesn't have a good face towards Xie Luyu. She is extremely cold and leaves after eating, which is very cold and ruthless.
Xie Luyu once suspected that this cat had such a bad temper, but it turned around and acted coquettishly towards Gu Qingchi.
Gu Qingchi also likes staying with Xie Luyu.
Xie Luyu is a particular person. His home has all kinds of things, including a lazy sofa and a home theater.
But everything is placed neatly and just right, so it doesn't feel messy, and the warm-toned decoration style makes people feel warm when they see it.
The light is also good. It is bright during the day and the sunshine is incredibly warm.
It was completely different from Gu Qingchi’s empty house.
Even the little tabby cat would relax its guard, leave Gu Qingchi for a short while, stretch and take a nap in the sun.
Gu Qingchi was a little restrained at the beginning, but later he became like a cat that was familiar with its territory, doing all kinds of things just like Xiao Lihua.
Xie Luyu knows how to behave and has the skills to be nice to others. Being blindly nice will only make people feel uneasy, but he knows how to make people accept it at ease.
On weekdays, Xie Luyu tried his best to be reciprocal and would also take the initiative to assign some simple tasks to Gu Qingchi.
During this process, Xie Luyu discovered that Gu Qingchi was really not good at housework, in any aspect.
But Xie Luyu still enjoys it, even though he has to secretly clean up the mess for Gu Qingchi in the end.
He is responsible for cooking, and also lets Gu Qingchi participate in chores such as buying groceries.
When their relationship became closer, Gu Qingchi also became as distant and polite as before.
Just like a cat that has gotten used to your presence, it will no longer run away when it sees you, and will no longer leave you with a cold and aloof back.
Although it won't let you touch it, it will roll over and sleep peacefully in front of you, showing its soft belly.
Life with two people is always more lively than life alone.
Xie Luyu opened the refrigerator and took a look.
"Another bottle of wine is missing, Xiao Gu, you have no more wine today."
Gu Qingchi, who was reading a newspaper on the sofa, turned his head. He hadn't said anything and had no expression on his face.
Xie Luyu understood immediately. He remained unmoved and closed the refrigerator door coldly and ruthlessly.
"No discussion. I'll make you eggplant boxes tonight. Pack up and we'll go out to buy groceries."
Shopping for groceries seems lonely when you are alone, but it is very interesting when you are with someone, especially with Xie Luyu.
The two of them went out together.
Gu Qingchi only wore a mask, but Xie Luyu was fully armed, with glasses without prescription, a mask, and a knitted hat.
When we arrived at the supermarket, two tall young men went straight to the vegetable section and selected vegetables with serious expressions.
When they had almost finished buying everything, Xie Luyu went to buy milk, while Gu Qingchi looked at the shopping cart and the potatoes.
The heating in the supermarket was turned on quite high, and Gu Qingchi had already taken off his mask.
At this time, he was holding a big potato and observing it carefully. A silver-haired grandmother next to him was also enthusiastically teaching him the selection techniques in her hometown dialect.
Not far away, a blonde girl held up a camera, adjusted the focus, and took a picture.
In the photo, Gu Qingchi bent down slightly, holding a potato in his hand, observing and listening carefully to the old man next to him.
One is a handsome young man dressed in fashionable clothes, with smooth skin, a full forehead, and incredibly beautiful profile lines; the other is a man wearing a red headscarf, a floral top, and his face is full of wrinkles from the years.
The two eras seem to blend at this moment in wonderful harmony.
It gives people a wonderful feeling, not just beautiful.
The girl took a look and asked the two if they could keep the photos. After getting their consent, she uploaded the photos to Instagram.
"Both of them are very beautiful."
