First night drive
System: […Hmm. 】
He made the right choice, and Shen Xiu felt relieved.
Sure enough, there is no color in the world more low-key than black.
"Where is the key?" Shen Xiu asked the system.
When he came down, the system did not ask him to look for the car keys in the room.
System: [In the box on the roof. 】
Hearing this, Shen Xiu's gaze swept across all the roofs of the cars on the second floor below ground.
When Chen Xiu came out of the elevator, he found that there was a small black box on the roof of each car. Chen Xiu didn't expect that there were car keys inside.
The car keys are not kept at home, but on the roof of the garage. Is this a common habit among car owners here?
Shen Xiu muttered in surprise: "Everyone is so casual."
The system agrees: [Well, it’s very casual. 】
Not caring about rounding, isn't that just being casual?
Shen Xiu reached out and took down the box on the roof, opened it, took out the car keys inside, and put the box on the ground next to the parking space.
He pressed the car key, the door opened, and Shen Xiu got in.
It was the first time for Shen Xiu to touch a car other than a driving school bus, so he was quite nervous. He carefully checked the steering wheel, brakes, and other things one by one, took a deep breath, turned on the navigation, started the car, and drove out of the underground garage carefully.
The entire Yulin Banxia has only one underground second floor. The security guard was sitting in the security booth. He saw from the surveillance footage that a car was coming out of the exit from the underground second floor to the underground first floor. He patted the arm of his colleague next to him in surprise.
"Hey, hey, hey, there's a car coming out from the basement level 2!"
"Don't be mistaken, we've been here for so long and haven't seen any car coming out of..." Before he could finish his sentence, his colleague came closer to the computer screen, and the unfinished words got stuck in his throat.
"Damn, it's true!"
While the two were talking, the gate for vehicles entering and exiting the community opened, and a black car drove out of the community.
“…Who is it?”
"I don't understand. Our captain didn't say who owns the second basement floor. He only said it's the owner of Area A."
After the two finished chatting, they stared curiously at the car that had just left.
At night, the lights at the entrance of the community and nearby are brightly lit, and they are not far away from each other, so you can see them clearly.
But the car window can only see outside from the inside, but outsiders cannot see inside, which makes the two people even more curious.
Xuan Ji had just lowered his head to send a message to his parents. After sending the message, he just walked to the gate of the community and looked up to see the security guards huddled together and whispering. He smelled the scent of melon, threw his suitcase aside, and walked up to him curiously and asked in confusion.
"What are you two talking about?"
Hearing the voice, the security guard retracted his gaze and saw a man wearing a mask and a cap, pulling two suitcases behind him, standing in front of the security booth. He replied, "Car."
"What's there to say about cars? Aren't the streets full of cars?" Xuan Ji didn't quite understand.
"Here, it's over there. You can see for yourself."
Shen Xiu hadn't called him yet, so Xuan Ji took the opportunity to watch the fun, following the security guards' line of sight, and instantly exclaimed, "Damn, so handsome!"
Xuan Ji's family also has several cars given by his parents, but he has never seen this model. Although the appearance is simple, it is so simple that people can't take their eyes off it.
Xuan Ji picked up his mobile phone, took a photo, and searched for the image on the web.
Shen Xiu parked the car in a parking space not far from the community and glanced at the time on the mobile phone navigation, which showed 7:57.
Seeing that he was not late, Shen Xiu's nervous mood was relieved a little. He took down his phone, found Xuan Ji's number, and called...
Xuan Ji was searching the image, but before he could find anything, Shen Xiu called.
"Hey, Chen Xiu, I'm at the security booth at the entrance of the community."
As soon as the call was connected, Chen Xiu heard Xuan Ji's voice, which was obviously full of joy, saying, "I'm in the parking space on the left side of the road at the entrance of the community."
"Left?" Xuan Ji looked around and his eyes fell on the left parking space that he had taken a photo of before.
There was only one car parked there. Xuan Ji couldn't believe it: "Are you... sure?"
Chen Xiu thought about how he carefully distinguished left from right when he drove out of the community, and said firmly: "I am sure."
Xuan Ji: "...I'll be right there!"
Xuan Ji hung up the phone, strode to the left, took two steps, and seemed to remember something, then turned back: "That car belongs to my friend!"
After saying this, Xuan Ji strode away dragging his suitcase.
“Is this true or false?”
"He walked over. We'll know if he gets on the bus or not."
Shen Xiu hung up the phone, opened the car door and got out.
Seeing Xuan Ji carrying two suitcases, Shen Xiu walked to the trunk and opened it.
As soon as the trunk was opened, Xuan Ji excitedly dragged the suitcase to Shen Xiu: "I didn't expect it was really you!"
Shen Xiu lowered his head to help Xuan Ji carry the suitcase, and his movements froze: "...It's me."
Who else could it be if not him? Shen Xiu didn’t quite understand Xuan Ji’s train of thought in saying this.
Shen Xiu's cold voice diluted Xuan Ji's excitement a lot, and Xuan Ji's heart, which was beating too fast, slowly calmed down.
He put another suitcase on top and said sheepishly, "Haha, I'm making a fuss."
Shen Xiu must think he is being too noisy.
Chen Xiu: “…” Why did Xuan Ji suddenly say that he was making a fuss? Where is the logic?
"Well, let's get in the car."
Before Chen Xiu understood and was struggling over how to answer, Xuan Ji changed the subject again. Chen Xiu closed the trunk door, his tense body relaxed, and he replied, "Yeah."
If the awkward conversation continued like this, he didn't know how many more confusing words Xuan Ji would say to him.
Looking at the car driving away, the security guard exclaimed in surprise: "He didn't lie to us, that really is his friend!"
"Is this the point? Isn't the point the person who got out of the car? It's Shen Xiu! Even if he's wearing a mask, it's impossible to mistake his figure, temperament, and back view!"
Chen Xiu has lived here for such a long time, even though he wears a mask every time he enters and leaves the community. They didn't know each other at first, but after comparing them a few more times online, they were able to guess who they were.
"Chen Xiu used to walk or take the bus all the time, and never drove a car. Why did he suddenly drive?"
"It's to see a friend off. The young man just now brought two large suitcases. Chen Xiu probably drove him to the airport."
After saying this, the two of them looked at each other tacitly.
One person said: "No, that's not the point."
Another person echoed: "The point is that it turns out that Shen Xiu is the one who owns the entire second basement floor in Area A!"
After saying this, the two were even more confused.
"I don't really understand what kind of reason makes Shen Xiu resist driving a new car every day."
"Maybe... low-key?"
"I can't keep a low profile anymore. Someone has already recorded a video and posted it online..."
In the car.
Xuan Ji sat in the passenger seat and admired the interior decoration of the car, occasionally glancing at Shen Xiu who was driving.
Whether it is the bony fingers casually placed on the steering wheel, or the side profile revealing a sharp temperament.
The more he looked, the more envious Xuan Ji became.
I wonder if he can have the same noble temperament as Shen Xiu after he goes to school.
Driving on the road at night, Chen Xiu was extremely cautious, busy looking around and listening in all directions. When he noticed that Xuan Ji was looking at him, his body straightened even more, and he couldn't help but tighten his hands on the steering wheel.
Sure enough, it was his first time driving, and also his first time driving at night. He was nervous, and Xuan Ji, who was riding in his car, was also nervous.
Xuan Ji admired Shen Xiu with envy for more than ten minutes before he remembered that he had not had time to check his phone.
Xuan Ji took out his mobile phone, clicked on the screen, and saw that the results of the image recognition he had taken earlier were out.
After reading the search results, Xuan Ji looked at Shen Xiu with a surprised expression, hesitated for a few seconds, and asked cautiously: "This car... is very expensive."
Although Xuanji's family had never lacked food and clothing, he knew that he was a rich second-generation and spent money like water, never caring about the price of things.
But at this moment, when Xuan Ji saw the search results for this car, he felt for the first time the gap between him and Shen Xiu.
It's not just the gap in knowledge and ability, the gap in background is even greater.
What shocked Xuan Ji even more was that Chen Xiu could live a very good life just lying down, but he insisted on working so hard. After the shock, Xuan Ji was left with only shame in his heart.
After asking, he was too embarrassed to look at Shen Xiu again. Sitting in Shen Xiu's co-pilot seat, he had the illusion that he was not worthy.
Shen Xiu replied: "Not expensive."
The system said that the money in the card was enough to support him and Lucky, so the car should not be as expensive as Xuan Ji said.
Xuan Ji glanced down at the search results, looked at the numbers on them, silently returned and turned off his phone.
I see, his vision is not broad enough.
At nine o'clock in the evening, there were a lot of people at the airport, and many people took pictures of Shen Xiu seeing Xuan Ji off.
At ten o'clock, Shen Xiu returned home. It was almost exam week for this semester, so Shen Xiu chose to open his books and start reviewing.
While Shen Xiu was absorbed in reviewing, photos and videos of Shen Xiu driving Xuan Ji to study abroad appeared one after another on the Internet.
The person who initially filmed and uploaded the video was not a fan of celebrities, and didn't know that the person driving the car was Shen Xiu. He was just passing by and saw the luxury car worth over 100 million yuan parked on the side of the road that was hard to ignore, so he couldn't help but take a video and post it on WeChat Moments.
The video was saved by friends in the circle of friends and sent to social accounts, where it was recognized by netizens.
——This car... Damn, I finally saw what a luxury car worth over 100 million yuan is in real life. It is really eye-catching. The black color is the ultimate low-key luxury, which fits the noble temperament of our boss.
——Even if she is wearing a mask, but these long legs, this back view, and this look that can make you feel the coolness through the screen, if I weren’t the boss, I would wash my hair upside down!
——What virtue and ability does Xuan Ji have? Damn it, I am a sourpuss! Woohoo, now I can only think more positively. Although Xuan Ji is not worthy, at least I got to see how Xiu Bao drove for the first time. He was as breathtakingly handsome as I imagined!
——Sister, please wake up (shaking your head wildly). We only see Xiubao getting off and getting on the car, but we never see him driving the car. I don’t care. If there are no driving scenes in Xiubao’s next movie, I will cry!
——It has been several hours since Chen Xiu and his car became a hot topic, but Chen Xiu has not responded at all. Xiu scholars, don’t you go and ask?
——What's so good about asking this? Isn't it simple? Xiu Bao didn't respond, he must think it's unnecessary. It's just a car, not a new skill. According to the character of our Juan Wang Xiu, there is no meaning and value in responding to this matter!
Chen Xiu was just driving a car, without even showing his face, and he could still frequently appear on the hot searches overnight, making everyone in the entertainment industry who suffers from a lack of popularity envious.
If it was someone else, they could still find some negative information to smear him, but the other party was Shen Xiu, so those who were jealous could not find any negative points at all, and could only grit their teeth in secret.
A week later, exam week is over.
After finishing the exam, Shen Xiu no longer thought about reviewing. He took Lucky to visit his parents and left the cemetery in the afternoon.
After returning home, Shen Xiu asked the system as an agent: "Is there any script for me recently?"
The total vacation time is almost three months, and he no longer needs to squeeze in time like he did when filming "Xian Tu". Shen Xiu feels that he can take on a short drama.
System: [Of course. 】
[I scanned all the scripts I found for you and sent them to the desktop of the computer in the study. 】
The system only manages account operations. It does not really understand novels and scripts, which contain all kinds of human emotional expressions.
It had no idea what play Shen Xiu wanted to perform, so it just collected and organized all the scripts that were related to it and let Shen Xiu choose for himself.
"Thank you." Shen Xiu settled the tired Lucky and went into the study.
Looking at the icons that almost covered the entire desktop, Shen Xiu was surprised.
“So many scripts are looking for me?!”
Although "Xian Journey" has been confirmed to be released in the summer, the summer vacation has just begun. Before "Xian Journey" is broadcast, major directors and screenwriters don't know his acting skills yet, but they blindly approached him. Shen Xiu was flattered.
System: [Of course, you are famous, popular, and have a good attitude towards acting, so everyone will naturally be optimistic about you. 】
The system that cannot analyze acting skills can only analyze the reason why everyone is looking for Shen Xiu based on these tangible data.
"...So blind."
Chen Xiu still thinks that when it comes to acting, regardless of fame, popularity and attitude, acting skills are still the most important.
But he really has no right to say these things now. Thinking of this, Chen Xiu no longer thinks about these issues that are not within his power to think about now. He clicks on the script on the desktop and starts reading.
There were too many scripts, and it was not good to keep staring at the computer screen, so Shen Xiu printed out all the scripts.
Looking at the stack of printed scripts that was half a person's height, Chen Xiu decided to finish them all in the next week and not go out again.
The system looks through the invitations from brands: [Many brands invite you to wear their clothes and watch their shows, but you don’t want to go? 】
Shen Xiu: “Did you pick it up?”
If the system picks up the call, he will go.
System: [No answer. 】
The main thing is that there is a brand called Pall. Before getting a reply from it, it replied to netizens in the comment section below its own brand, implying that Shen Xiu would definitely attend. The operation was so strange that it left a deep impression on the system.
As Shen Xiu's agent, it did not fail to respond. It replied that Shen Xiu was still in the exam week, and it would ask Shen Xiu's opinion after the exam week was over.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xiu was still taking the exam, and the other party hinted that Shen Xiu should accept their family's invitation and wear their clothes to watch the show.
Shen Xiu: “Then don’t go.”
After going to the last VG offline invitation event to watch the show, Chen Xiu knew very well that he couldn't understand it, so it was useless to go. It would be better for him to watch more things he could understand at home.
System: [Understood. 】
After receiving Shen Xiu’s reply, the system sent a group message to the brands that had contacted it in the contact list.
Pall's staff received a reply from Chen Xiu's agent and hurriedly took a screenshot of the message and posted it in the group, so Pall held an emergency meeting.
"Chen Xiu refused, what should we do now?"
"You can invite any of the other eight members of The Galaxy. When the comments section hinted at it, they only said it was the popular member of The Galaxy. They didn't directly say it was Shen Xiu. It was the netizens who guessed it. This method is feasible."
"That's right. Even if the person who went when the news was announced was not Chen Xiu, as long as the person who went was a member of The Galaxy, everything would make sense. Chen Xiu's fans would not embarrass Chen Xiu's members because they are on the same team."
"Um...are you sure you want to do that? If just one of them takes a screenshot and shows it to the other members, our actions will be exposed."
"They haven't appeared in the same frame together for a long time. Everyone has gone their separate ways. Didn't Mu Zhenchu leave the crew some time ago? He hasn't interacted with the group members on social media. I guess they are just trying to create a good relationship in the group. I guess everyone has their own little tricks in their hearts, and the possibility of telling each other is very small."
There are few domestic stages, and most of the groups that debut through talent shows are limited groups and will disband soon.
It is normal for members of the group to get along on stage but quarrel off stage. Most people don’t believe that the relationship between members of The Galaxy is really good.
This approach was unanimously agreed upon by the participants, and the staff began to contact the members of The Galaxy one by one.
As the first member to receive the message, Shang Yu asked his agent to reject the other party, and then sent a screenshot of the WeChat message sent by his agent to the Galaxy group.
【Group Chat】
Shang Yu: According to Pall, shouldn’t the person invited be Shen Xiu? Why are you still asking me? I remember Pall only had one invitation to the show [Picture]
good evening!
