"Teacher Bai?"
This shout interrupted the group's laughter. Jiang Que turned around and saw Song Yecheng in the middle of the crowd leading the way towards them, while Douzi and other people beside him also quickened their pace to catch up.
They were the same group of people who had been waiting in the reception hall, all living in the villa area. When Song Yecheng said he was going back to his residence, they all followed him. However, there were only three buildings in the top row, so it was impossible for them all to live here. They should have dispersed on the way up the hill, but they all used the excuse of "taking a walk after dinner" to gather around Song Yecheng and send him up.
Song Yecheng was already approaching. Jiang Que looked at the huge crowd of people coming towards him like a tide, thinking that it was true that one can't escape the first day but the fifteenth day. Xu Yi had already stepped forward with a bright smile and greeted him: "Teacher Song!"
Song Yecheng nodded casually at the three of them and asked Jiang Que, "What are you talking about?"
His call of "Teacher Bai" just now had made many people vaguely guess Jiang Que's identity, especially a shrewd person like Tong Qian, who immediately reacted - there were not many people in this group who were addressed as "Teacher" by Song Yecheng, and since his surname was Bai, who else could it be except the screenwriter Bai Yeling?
However, Xu Yi's entire attention was focused on the visuals, and he didn't hear clearly what Song Yecheng shouted. Seeing him ask, he actively answered, "Oh, we are discussing a room change with this young man. He lives in a whole building by himself, and we can't accommodate him here, so we want to switch with him."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the whole place became tense. Tong Qian almost wanted to cover her mouth, and quickly smiled to smooth things over, "No way, she was just joking with Teacher Bai!"
It was only then that Xu Yi realized something was wrong. After being stunned for two seconds, he suddenly turned his head and glared at Jiang Que, "Teacher Bai? Are you... Bai Yeling?!"
Seeing that Jiang Que really didn't deny it, everyone around them excitedly confirmed their guess, and incredible low exclamations suddenly broke out everywhere -
"Oh my god... is it really Bai Ye Ling?"
"Is Bai Yeling actually so young?"
"Oh my god! Isn't Teacher Bai so beautiful?!"
The few people closest to him seemed so excited that they wanted to step forward and shake hands, but when they saw Jiang Que holding a cat in one hand and pulling a suitcase with the other, with no hands free, they stopped and shrank back awkwardly.
Seeing that everyone's attention was diverted by this incident, Tong Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a girl suddenly squeezed out of the crowd at the back and said, "Sister Xu Yi!"
Everyone's whispers paused for a moment, and the girl came running over, holding Xu Yi's hand with an apologetic look on her face. "I'm sorry, Sister Xu Yi! When I came here two days ago, the house was empty, so I chose the smallest room to stay in. I heard the drama teacher say that each actor can only bring one person with him this time, so I thought three rooms would be enough, so I didn't move. I didn't expect to cause you trouble after all. I'm so sorry!"
Her attitude seemed extremely humble and her tone sounded sincere, but anyone with a little common sense could hear that she had a hidden meaning in her words - first she played the victim by saying that she had chosen the "smallest room", and then she pointed out that the production staff required that "each actor should bring at most one person into the group", which was equivalent to directly throwing the blame for not having enough accommodation back to Xu Yi.
Instantly, everyone's eyes fell on Xu Yi, and they all thought to themselves: That's right, even Song Yecheng only brought one assistant, what kind of celebrity are you, Xu Yi? Joining a crew as both an assistant and an agent, who do you blame for not having enough room? And you still have the nerve to come and trade rooms with the screenwriter teacher?
The atmosphere around them was a little stagnant for a moment. The expressions of Xu Yi and the other two became visibly ugly. They seemed to want to argue, but they were choked and unable to speak for a while.
At this moment, Song Yecheng, who had been waiting and watching, suddenly chuckled and looked at Xu Yi nonchalantly: "How about you stay over there? It's right in front, number 30."
After saying that, he turned to Jiang Que and said, "Teacher Bai, you wouldn't mind taking Douzi and me in? Give us two guest bedrooms?"
Jiang Que was stunned for a moment, and his eyelids, which had been slightly lowered, suddenly raised up and happened to meet Song Yecheng's half-smile.
"Oh, how can that be possible!"
Without waiting for Jiang Que to reply, the girl next to him, as if afraid that the lights and microphone would be snatched away, quickly started her performance again: "Sister Xu Yi, we don't need to trouble the two teachers, right? I'll give up my room when I get back. The sofa in the living room is big anyway, and I'm not a delicate person, so it doesn't matter where I sleep!"
After saying this, Xu Yi opposite her didn't do anything yet, but the girl suddenly felt a chill on the back of her neck. She couldn't help but glance to the side and saw Song Yecheng staring at her meaningfully. She immediately shrank her neck guiltily, thinking, did I say something wrong?
At the same time, Jiang Que couldn't help but feel a trace of self-mockery in his heart: He had previously thought about whether this girl would swallow her anger under pressure if she was a newcomer. Now it seems that he was undoubtedly thinking too much.
Few people who can get into this circle are naive and innocent. Although they are not good at networking and dealing with people, they are probably very good at hiding a knife behind a smile.
Tong Qian watched helplessly as the girl put on such a big show. She sneered inwardly and personally took note of her remarks, but on the surface she smiled calmly and said, "Look at what you said. Why bother with so much trouble? Just stay where you are. I'm just sending Xiaoyi to the crew to check out the situation today. I'll be leaving tomorrow. I just agreed with Xiaoyou to stay with her tonight. It's such a small matter, but you're wasting everyone's time by bringing it up now."
Her eyes met the girl's in the air, and invisible sparks flew. Both of them had smiles on their faces, but the smiles did not reach their eyes at all.
The people around also exchanged glances privately, seemingly all of them wanting to watch the fun and not mind getting involved.
Song Yecheng had seen this kind of scene many times since he was a child, and he was no longer surprised or surprised. He didn't intend to take sides and judge what was right or wrong. He simply cleared his throat and ended the conversation: "Okay, I think it's getting late. We still have the opening ceremony and the opening banquet to be busy tomorrow. If you don't have anything else, go back and rest early."
After he said this, the people around him could no longer stay and responded by waving and saying "See you tomorrow, Teacher Song" and dispersed down the mountain. Soon, only a few people living in the three buildings were left.
Xu Yi finally pulled his hand back from the girl, glanced at her with disgust, and walked into the house first. His assistant Xiao You hurriedly followed, while Tong Qian politely nodded to Song Yecheng and Jiang Que, turned around and followed him in.
The remaining girl stood there confidently, curled her lips, turned around and smiled at the two of them: "I'm sorry, teachers, for causing you trouble."
Seeing that she was still not leaving, Song Yecheng said indifferently, "Do you have anything else to do?"
This sounded like an order to leave. The girl wanted to talk more, but she could only swallow her words and waved at them honestly: "No... See you tomorrow, teachers."
After she entered the house and closed the door, Douzi, who had been squeezed in the crowd carrying large and small bags, finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh my god! The show hasn't even started filming yet and they're already acting? Everyone's acting is explosive!"
Song Yecheng ignored his complaints and imitated Xu Yi's address with great interest, saying slowly, "Little brother~ Are you scared that there is no little brother?"
There was nothing wrong with calling Xu Yi this, but when it came out of Song Yecheng's mouth it sounded like a tease. Jiang Que moved his mouth but then closed it again, and finally decided to ignore it.
Song Yecheng stared at his expression of wanting to speak but not wanting to, then smiled and turned to Douzi, saying, "Let's go. Let's take your teacher Bai back first."
The cat litter boxes and cat climbing frames bought at the pet hospital in the afternoon were all placed in the trunk of Song Yecheng and his friends' car. Jiang Que didn't have the hands to hold them when he got out of the car, so now they were all in Douzi's hands.
The three of them entered the door of No. 29. Douzi skillfully assembled everything that needed to be assembled, added food and water and placed them in the corner. Baimao came over as soon as he got off the ground, sniffing here and scratching there, and he seemed not afraid of the new environment at all.
The entire first floor of the villa is mainly composed of a living room and an open kitchen. Song Yecheng took a casual look around and found that the supporting facilities were quite complete. Even the refrigerator layers were filled with food in advance by the production staff. Then he gave up the idea of asking Douzi to go to the supermarket to buy some more things and returned to the living room.
Just at this time, Douzi had already arranged all the cat-raising supplies, clapped his hands and stood up. The two of them did not stay any longer and let Jiang Que send them to the door.
After leaving the house, Song Yecheng seemed to have remembered something. He suddenly turned around and said in a tone that sounded like he was telling a ghost story to scare a child, "By the way, little brother, this wilderness is very dangerous. Don't walk alone at night in the future. Be careful of being robbed again."
Jiang Que paused as he was about to close the door, and a hint of ambiguity appeared in his eyes as he looked at him: "Shouldn't you be the one who should be careful?"
Song Yecheng didn't expect him to say such a thing, and was stunned: "...What?"
Jiang Que was calm and composed: "Didn't you ask me to tell you in advance about the next plot?"
Before Song Yecheng could react to what he meant, he looked towards Building 28 with a pointed look and raised his chin: "Good luck to you."
