The romance of buying roses in a rainstorm
Generally, there are not many people going to the cemetery, so naturally the bus from here to the cemetery does not run often. Shen Xiu checked his phone before leaving the store, and he still had to wait for half an hour before the next bus.
Fearing delay, Shen Xiu decided to take a taxi.
Ren Qianning had just finished taking the photo, and Shen Zheng had just put away his umbrella and got into the taxi.
With her heart pounding with excitement, Ren Qianning put away her phone and quickened her pace to run into the store.
"Sister, who was that person just now?!" Ren Qianning put away her umbrella, ran to the counter with her cell phone and spoke excitedly.
Ren Qianyu was still sorting out the scissors, wrapping paper and other items that had been messed up when she heard her sister's excited voice behind her.
Ren Qianyu didn't even turn her head: "I'm wearing a mask, so I can't see his face clearly. I only know that it's a Mr. Shen. What's wrong?"
Ren Qianyu was not a fan of celebrities, she just felt that Shen Xiu had a remarkable temperament and did not think much about it.
"It's right!" Ren Qianyu excitedly covered her heart and handed over the photo of her back.
"Sister, stop being busy and help me check if it's true."
Although she had witnessed Shen Xiu coming out of her sister's shop, Ren Qianning still wanted to confirm it.
Ren Qianyu sighed and turned to look at her sister's phone.
In the photo, in the intermittent rain, a tall man in a black windbreaker is seen holding a bright red rose with water droplets on it, lying neatly in the black wrapping paper, with a hint of the rose's edge showing from his left elbow.
The big black umbrella blocked the wind and rain, but it couldn't block the chill on his body that was colder than a rainstorm.
Once you see it with your own eyes, there is no way you can mistake it.
"Even though we can't see his face from the front, he's already so stunning. Even the back view is still so stunning." After Ren Qianyu sighed, she remembered her sister's question and nodded, "It is indeed this Mr. Shen."
"Ahhh, I knew it. Even if it was his back, there was no way I would make a mistake!" Ren Qianning jumped twice on the spot excitedly.
Ren Qianyu looked puzzled: "Do you know him?"
“My new idol!”
After saying that, Ren Qianning thought of the rose in Shen Xiu's arms, and then she realized it belatedly and wondered, "Strange, why did Brother Xiu come out to buy roses on such a heavy rainy day?"
Ren Qianyu thought about her conversation with the guest and said, "She said it was for my mother."
"Mom?" Hearing her sister's answer, Ren Qianning thought of what Shen Xiu had said in the live broadcast before, and nodded in understanding: "That makes sense. Going to see mom and dad is roughly equivalent to spending time with family. What's such a heavy rain? Of course, buying roses for mom is more important than a heavy rain!"
"The storm couldn't stop Xiu Bao from buying roses for his mother. How thoughtful! I love him so much!"
"Of course I have to share this great repair treasure with my sisters!"
Ren Qianyu just smiled at her sister's words of "Xiu Da Lao" and "Xiu Bao". Although she didn't understand the star-chasing girl, she respected and understood her and didn't blame her. Instead, she agreed, "She personally brought romantic roses to her mother as a gift even on a rainy day. She is indeed a thoughtful and filial child."
"Of course not. Xiubao is always the best. Sister, I have a feeling that Xiubao won't collapse the house!"
After Ren Qianning finished speaking, she smiled and ran to sit on the sofa beside her. She lowered her head and sent the photo of her back to the group of cultivators.
Strawberry Donut: Brother Xiu unexpectedly went out to buy a bunch of red roses for his mom on a rainy day~
Once the photo was released, it was like a bomb dropped into the water, sparking 99+ replies and heated discussions.
The photo of Shen Xiu going out to buy roses for his mother during a rainstorm is not only touching but also bewitchingly beautiful, both in terms of content and shooting atmosphere.
The scholars couldn't help but save the photos in their photo albums as screen savers and posted them on their Weibo accounts to express their admiration.
Heavy rain, a black umbrella, a bunch of red roses, a tall man wearing black leather shoes, a black windbreaker and trousers, and a cold aura from the back... the atmosphere is just at its maximum.
'Chen Xiu' has its own traffic, and it is not surprising for the scholars of cultivation that it has become a hot topic.
——Just a silhouette of someone holding roses in his arms can make me imagine countless scenes from novels. It's so bewitching!
——It is so convenient to buy flowers now. In such heavy rain, it is obvious that they can just have the takeout delivered to your home, but Xiu Bao insists on going out to buy them himself. He is usually the cool and arrogant Big Devil Xiu outside, but privately, he is the Xiu Bao who wants to buy roses for his mommy in person even when the rain is heavy. Sisters are right, this Big Devil Xiu is so cool and charming!
——Only things bought with your own hands have soul and are made with 100% of your heart!
——It was previously speculated that Brother Xiu didn’t have a good relationship with his family, so they didn’t come to watch Xiu Bao’s debut night, but now it seems that the atmosphere in Xiu Bao’s home should be very loving.
——It’s not just about love, it’s also very romantic! The reason why Boss Xiu’s family didn’t show up was probably because of their inconvenience?
——Sister, I think you got the truth! Many powerful and wealthy people are very low-key and don't like to appear in front of the media.
——Speaking of this, I am no longer sleepy. I have a relative who is extremely wealthy. In order to hide his wealth, he spent money to remove his name from the rich list.
What surprised the scholars was that the hot search topics around Shen Xiu seemed out of place with the topic about Shen Xiu.
The most incompatible topic is still about Duan Mingfei.
The cultivators were confused.
What is even more puzzling to the scholars is that Duan Mingfei’s hot search topic is followed by the word "explosive".
#Duan Mingfei 3 minutes and 48 seconds video#
#Rainstorm Roses Bewitching People#
#Romance from the Great Demon King Xiu#
#Termination#
#Sky-high breach of contract fee#
#Take back everything that belongs to her#
#Starting from scratch is no match for Duan San#
With doubts, the experts clicked on the topic, and a few minutes later, in these hot search topics, the netizens who were professionally snatching bamboo shoots from the mouths of giant pandas for 30 years were laughing so hard that they rolled all over the world.
——Compared with Chen Xiu next door, comparing oneself to others is really infuriating, haha. Someone put the microphone into the mouths of Duan Mingfei's fans and ask them how they feel now.
——The paparazzi took the photo of him lowering his head to pick up his sunglasses and hat the day before yesterday. Last night, Duan Mingfei denied that someone had plastic surgery and was trying to scam him. He pretended to send a lawyer's letter. Who would have thought that today, the live video with a rating of 18 or above would be released. Thor's hammer, all the fans have run away. Where are the fans for us to interview?
——Tough straight male school bully? It’s so funny, “That Summer” was taken off the shelves.
——Is there any professional who can analyze how much money Duan Mingfei will have to pay this time?
——On the importance of installing cameras at home. Disgusting, really disgusting. Duan Mingfei could even laugh in front of such a greasy and disgusting old man. From then on, I had a psychological shadow on the bubbling sound.
The live video was so clear that even the mole on Duan Mingfei's body could be seen clearly.
The two protagonists in the video are both garbage, and netizens are never polite when it comes to garbage, and their output is so fierce.
Various video screenshots and captions are flying around the Internet, ensuring that every surfer's eyes will be irritated.
Duan Mingfei had suffered two setbacks before this time. Most of his rational and career fans had left, and only a small number of active fans were left. In order to make the data look good, Duan Mingfei asked the studio to buy fans during the first two times of losing fans, creating the illusion that he did not lose fans but gained them instead.
But this time in the video, Duan Mingfei was pounded against the coffin lid and couldn't be removed.
There were major changes in the senior management of Qinghe Entertainment, and they directly announced the termination of the contract with Duan Mingfei. There was no need to even think about public relations. It was as if Duan Mingfei was directly carried away and cremated until not even a trace was left.
All brands that Duan Mingfei had endorsed, regardless of size, announced the termination of their contracts and removed all products related to Duan Mingfei from their shelves.
More people came out to expose what Duan Mingfei had done, making Duan Mingfei's situation even worse.
After watching Duan Mingfei's video, Shi Buwen was surprised and confused at the same time.
What surprised him was that Duan Mingfei was finally hammered to death and would never be able to make money in the entertainment industry again.
What was puzzling was...he had prepared for so long, but in the end it ended so unexpectedly!
He just went to Chen Xiu's house for a live broadcast, and just watched Duan Mingfei. He never thought that just by watching a melon, they could expose the financial backer who had been carefully hidden behind Duan Mingfei for so many years, and completely cut off Duan Mingfei's retreat.
The unexpected ending made Shi Buwen question his life, and he went to find Shang Yu with wine in his arms.
After eating Duan Mingfei's gossip, netizens were so disgusted by the "bubble sound" that they vomited their overnight meals, and rushed to the hot searches about Chen Xiu to wash their eyes.
——Passersby said, how can someone look so cool from behind without showing his face! So...when will the great devil Xiu make good on the photo of him being confined in a small dark room and 'tortured'?
——I've contacted him, but Xiu hasn't replied yet. Does he agree to pick up Li Yang? Woohoo
——Official account of "Xiantu"? The guy above, did you cut the wrong number? Is it really good to surf the Internet using an official account? !
--What? ! I'm going to ask the great demon king Xiu to play the role of the Black Moonlight Demon Lord who kills gods when he meets them and kills Buddhas when he meets them! ! !
After being reminded, the staff of "Xiantu" quickly deleted their comments.
But it was useless as it was captured by netizens with quick hands.
"The Path to Immortality" is a popular novel about cultivating immortals, and Li Yang plays the protagonist's master, Black Moonlight, who is both good and evil and has caused a great psychological shadow on the protagonist's growth.
In the book, Li Yang was so arrogant and domineering in the early days, and he acted recklessly, and he was so miserable when he was imprisoned in the later days. But even though he was miserable, Li Yang never admitted his mistakes until his death.
This kind of person who goes all the way to the end, and is so evil with a sense of righteousness and charm, has become the beautiful Black Moonlight Master who died early in the hearts of countless people. Book fans have higher requirements for actors.
No matter who plays the role, if the performance is bad, they will definitely be criticized.
But now, fans of the book are looking at Chen Xiu’s face and researching his experiences since his debut in a talent show. Not only can they not criticize him, they also think that Chen Xiu will not even act in the role.
After all... "Xian Tu" is just a low-budget web drama. Whether or not he can afford it is another matter. Chen Xiu is not short of money, so the most important thing is whether he likes it.
It doesn't matter who is acting. According to Shen Xiu's learning attitude, acting is something that can be easily achieved. More importantly, Shen Xiu's face, his superior height and abdominal muscles, regardless of his acting skills, his appearance is perfect.
With a glimmer of hope, book fans helped the official Weibo account to send a private message to Shen Xiu.
When Shen Xiu's private message on Weibo exploded, Shen Xiu had already completed his parents' funeral according to the staff's instructions.
After the funeral, the hired burial workers left one after another, leaving time for Shen Xiu as per usual practice.
The staff at the cemetery are all in their 40s and 50s. They have worked here for many years and are familiar with the procedures, but it was the first time they saw a burial where no relatives came and there was only one person from beginning to end.
The staff guessed that there must be some unspeakable secret, so no one asked more questions for fear of touching upon the person's wounds.
After the staff left, Shen Xiu stood alone in front of his parents' tombstone.
In front of the tombstone were more than a hundred roses that Chen Xiu had bought earlier. Chen Xiu, who had obsessive-compulsive disorder, placed the roses right in the middle of the tombstone. The deep red roses added a bit of liveliness to the solemn and cold black tombstone.
Chen Xiu was holding a black umbrella, and could hear the sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella. Looking at the tombstone with only a name but no photos, Chen Xiu recalled the appearance of his parents in his mind, as if the raindrops were not hitting the umbrella, but his heart, so dense that it made his heart feel a little cold and painful.
After opening his mouth several times, Shen Xiu finally spoke: "This is a new home, congratulations."
After the opening, it was much easier for Shen Xiu to speak out the rest of the words.
"What was burned just now were all new clothes, new cell phones, new wheelchairs, new hearing aids, new..."
Chen Xiu had a good memory. As long as he paid attention, he could basically remember everything he had bought. He carefully recounted the things he had bought and burned in the paper-making shop, and finally added: "The clothes I am wearing now are also new."
Shen Xiu was silent for a few seconds before continuing.
"I have friends. I brought them back to my rental place the day before yesterday. Don't worry, I can entertain guests even if I am alone. Everyone ate the food I prepared, and when I sent them away, they didn't look dissatisfied."
After finishing his words, Shen Xiu added rigorously: “There are 60 points, and there is still 40 points of room for improvement.”
After saying this, Shen Xiu realized belatedly that what he said seemed a little serious, and fell into awkward silence.
Since he had to go to the county to attend junior high school, the time they spent together as a family became even shorter. When he was at home, for various reasons, his family members had similar personalities to him and mostly did things in silence, so they didn't have much time to talk.
Chen Xiu felt embarrassed to talk too much when facing the tombstone at this moment.
But even though he felt embarrassed, Shen Xiu still wanted to say it.
After a while, Shen Xiu spoke again: "I am living a good life. It is good now and will be better in the future. You must be the same as me over there."
There was another long silence.
After a period of silence, Shen Xiu spoke again.
Silence - talk - silence - talk...
This went on repeatedly, and Shen Xiu had stayed in the cemetery for several hours without realizing it.
On a rainy day like this, there were few people coming to the cemetery to pay their respects. After the staff left, Shen Xiu was the only living person left in the cemetery.
When the rainstorm got heavier and the wind started to blow harder, Shen Xiu had to leave.
Before leaving, Chen Xiu still said what he most wanted to tell his parents, which was also the sentence he thought his parents wanted to hear most.
"Mom and Dad, please remember what I promised you. I am very obedient and I will live well. Goodbye, I will come to see you next time."
After saying that, Shen Xiu took a deep look at the tombstone, gripped the umbrella handle tightly, turned around, and left with heavy steps.
Shen Xiu didn't feel anything when he was talking to his parents, but when he left his parents' grave, Shen Xiu's eyes began to feel sore and red.
Chen Xiu walked very slowly, and by the time he reached the exit of the cemetery, the moisture in his eyes had been dried by the strong wind.
On the day he returned from the cemetery, Chen Xiu felt depressed and didn't feel like moving. He ate something casually, washed up, and sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his home clothes, staring at the heavy rain outside in a daze.
The next day, Shen Xiu woke up at seven in the morning as usual.
After waking up, Chen Xiu went for a run first, and then went to the cemetery.
After returning from the cemetery, Shen Xiu's low mood dissipated a lot.
After taking a shower, Chen Xiu sat on the sofa and first greeted everyone in the WeChat group. Everyone was probably busy, so no one spoke. Chen Xiu then opened Weibo to see if there was any gossip during the time he hadn't been on Weibo.
After yesterday's video Thor's Hammer, Duan Mingfei has been cremated, but Duan Mingfei's affair is not over yet. Teammates who were once bullied by Duan Mingfei broke the news on Weibo one after another, repeatedly pulling out Duan Mingfei, the former official, and whipping his corpse.
Chen Xiu was eating melons so much that his mind was full of "How can it be like this?" ! ','Is this okay? ! ','How terrible! 'That kind of words.
After eating the melon, Shen Xiu sighed again, fortunately, all the people he met were good people.
As for the video of Duan Mingfei being hammered to death, Shen Xiu only took a look at the cover, frowned and closed it immediately, not wanting to click on it at all.
After eating melons on the entertainment list, Chen Xiu clicked on his private message interface and took a glance, all of them were recommendations about the role of Li Yang in "Xian Tu".
"The Immortal Path? Li Yang?"
Shen Xiu hadn’t read this novel, so he didn’t know much about it.
I followed the instructions in the private messages from netizens and quickly found the official account of "Xiantu". I clicked on the private message and saw the invitation from "Xiantu".
After carefully reading the other party's invitation, Shen Xiu recalled the itinerary he had prepared long ago in his mind, and combined with the time given by the other party, he found that the time conflicted, he could not take care of both, and could only refuse.
The operator of the official Weibo account of "Xian Tu" finally received a reply from Shen Xiu. He didn't even click on the little red dot, and excitedly took his phone to find the assistant director.
"Guide! Shen Xiu replied!"
The assistant director took the phone and nervously clicked on it...
A minute later, after reading Shen Xiu's long and serious reply, the joy on the deputy director's face disappeared and his expression fell.
Frustrated: "Rejected..."
"School starts, GG, group special..." Looking at the reason for Shen Xiu's refusal, the operator whispered: "It seems that the refusal is reasonable. Sure enough, in Wang Xiu's heart, studying is the most important thing. Filming is nothing!"
The assistant director sighed, "You can ask for leave. Ninety-nine percent of artists now ask for leave or temporarily study in order to film. This is the first time I've seen someone refuse to film in order to study."
Operations: "Unfortunately, Juan Wangxiu is that one percent..."
The assistant director sighed, "Chen Xiu certainly doesn't need our money, so the rejection is to be expected. Let's look for another one."
Seeing the emoticon package that the other party replied with, Shen Xiu opened the album and sent out the emoticon package that Xiang Yueting had saved in the album on WeChat.
Xiang Yueting once said that using emoticons appropriately during conversation can make both parties happy.
The operator looked at the emoticon package that came back, was stunned for a moment, and then ran to find the assistant director.
"Director, I think we still have a chance! Look at this cute cat head emoticon, does it look like it was sent by Xiu Da Lao?"
Without waiting for the assistant director to speak, the operation said firmly, "Absolutely not! It is impossible for Xiu to send such a cute emoticon. It is obviously not his style. So the one who replied now must be Xiu's agent or assistant!"
The assistant director thought of Shen Xiu's cold expression and shuddered: "That makes sense. Anyone can send cute emoticons, but it definitely won't be Shen Xiu! We still have a chance, let's go and try to talk to Shen Xiu in person!"
After Shen Xiu replied, he saw the message pop up on WeChat, closed Weibo, and switched to WeChat.
Assistant Wen: Mr. Shen, according to the contract, the company will send a car to pick you up at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning to take you to the studio for gg shooting.
Shen Xiu: OK.
Shen Xiu sent the address to the other party.
After posting, Chen Xiu thought of the scene during the first GG shooting, and the disappeared psychological shadow came back.
Chen Xiu read the contract three times carefully when signing the contract and remembered it clearly. The contract not only included the shooting price of the Starlight Ring, but also the shooting price of a watch called 'Gui Ye'.
And it is stated that during the shooting process, you need to cooperate with the photographer throughout the process.
Based on the photos of himself wearing the Starlight Ring, Chen Xiu was sure that the Starlight Ring would not contain any nude scenes, but 'Gui Ye' Chen Xiu was not sure.
Shen Xiu opened the chat interface with Assistant Wen, hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to ask.
Chen Xiu: Assistant Wen, may I ask, will there be any nudity during the filming of "Graceful Night"?
The deposit has been received, and it is impossible for Shen Xiu not to cooperate with the filming. If there is any, he needs to be mentally prepared in advance to avoid mistakes in the filming and affect the work of the filming staff.
Assistant Wen took a look at the shooting plan on the desktop and replied: There is no such plan in Guiye.
It is Starlight Ring, not Rose Night, that has plans for nude filming.
Shen Xiu: Okay, thank you.
Assistant Wen: You’re welcome.
After finishing the chat, Shen Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, put his phone on the table, and went to the study to watch GG with peace of mind, learning the body movements and expressions of his predecessors in front of the camera.
The next day.
At ten o'clock, Shen Xiu arrived at the studio in the car sent by VG.
As soon as he entered the studio, Shen Xiu saw a familiar person walking towards him.
"...Director Shi." The moment he saw Shi Buwen, Shen Xiu had a bad feeling in his heart.
“Oh my, aren’t you surprised?!” Photographing Chen Xiu was a pleasure and Shi Buwen would not miss it.
Shen Xiu was silent, not daring to say it was horrifying.
Chen Xiu has always been taciturn, so Shi Buwen didn't find it strange and walked inside with Chen Xiu.
"Come on, this is the dressing room."
Shi Buwen patted the first clothes hanger and said, "This is the clothes you will wear later. Hurry up and put them on and put on your makeup."
Shen Xiu's eyes fell on the hanger with only a pair of beige loose sweatpants, and he was dazed: "?"
What is Director Shi going to shoot next? !
good evening!
