Lu Tiao explained, "Senior Gu came back because of the previous production of 'Rhinoceros in Love'. We couldn't find a male lead who could replace Senior Gu at the moment. Also, there are other roles that are suitable for Senior Gu this year, and he will also play them."
He did not explicitly say that Gu Qingxu might return to replace Shi Wang as Adonis. After all, this was not a foregone conclusion, and Shi Wang had not yet given any reason to replace him.
Everyone applauded in welcome, and from a distance, Gu Qingxu looked at Zhuo Mian with a smile, and Zhuo Mian's lip lines pulled up.
Her Adonis has arrived.
Everyone dispersed for rehearsal, and Zhu Jiang went downstairs to sleep. Zhu Jiang was waiting for her in the car. When he saw her, he asked, "Is the senior you mentioned here?"
Zhu Jiang didn't hold out much hope, but when Xiao Mian opened the car door, he said as a matter of course, "Here you are."
Zhu Jiang was shocked: "That handsome guy is already a senior, and he actually agreed to return to the drama club. How did you do that?"
Sitting in the passenger seat, she lowered the sun visor and pushed open the cover of the makeup mirror to apply nude lipstick. In the mirror, she said slowly, "Men often do things that are hard to understand in order to fall in love."
Zhu Jiang was secretly delighted.
Zhumian thought her natural makeup looked pretty good today, so she admired it in the mirror and said casually, "Let's go. We still have to rehearse."
Zhu Jiang responded with a "good" response.
Zhuomian picked up the cake in the car. She didn't sleep after she went home last night and worked until after twelve o'clock just for this cake.
Zhuo Mian yawned in the passenger seat with his hands covering his mouth before opening the door and going out.
After going upstairs, Gu Qingxu and his partner were rehearsing an old play, and Zhuomian was waiting for them to rest next to him.
When Gu Qingxu walked away with the script, Zhu Mian brought him a cake and said, "Everyone received my cake yesterday. You came late, so I'll give it to you."
She had a relaxed posture, her curly hair spread out lazily, one hand in her pocket, and a hint of blue in her eyes, but she looked relaxed and casual.
Gu Qingxu was a little surprised and looked inside the transparent box: "Did you make this yourself?"
Zhumian said softly, "Yes."
Gu Qingxu's peach blossom eyes became more gentle, and his voice became slower as he said, "Don't you want to eat cake? Why did you make cake for me?"
"So you have to suffer in terms of taste," said Xiaomian Wususu.
Gu Qingxu took the cake and chuckled, "It's a unique honor for someone who never eats cake to make a cake for me."
Xiao Mian tilted his head and smiled nonchalantly: "Yeah."
Hearing this, Gu Qingxu's mouth seemed unable to relax and kept slightly raised.
The daytime nap did not disturb his rest, and he turned around to memorize his lines.
Gu Qingxu sat near Shi Wang and placed the cake next to him.
Shi Wang put the pen on the table and saw the cake next to it.
There is a line of words on it.
『To the lawyer hated by the whole world』
He turned his eyes away without paying much attention.
After turning away, I suddenly thought of something.
If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't be able to recognize it, but Shi Wang had just seen it yesterday and could tell at a glance who painted this thin gold calligraphy.
When Xiaomian was walking by with her head down looking at her phone, Shi Wang suddenly called out to her, "Xiaomian."
A short and quiet call, the one that had not been heard for three years, came out of that person's mouth again.
But she turned back to look at him calmly, raised her eyebrows, and expressed her doubt.
Shi Wang's willow-shaped eyes, like those outlined by cold ink lines, looked at her and whispered a few words, "Are you acting?"
She didn't care: "Okay."
Gu Qingxu looked at them.
But Shi Wang said calmly: "Have you memorized the words?"
Zhuomian said in a distant tone, "I've memorized it until the fifth scene."
Shi Wang lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Then let's start from the first game, right?"
Xiao Mian put her phone in her pocket, walked closer to him, and according to the script, gently grasped the corner of his clothes: "Adonis, Adonis, Cupid's arrow accidentally shot at me, but I was already attracted by your grace before that."
Shi Wang's clothes were pulled, and he was surprised for a moment, but he acted very naturally.
Gu Qingxu was originally drinking water, but at this moment, the movement of picking up the cup to drink stopped in mid-air.
Fortunately, she only gave it a perfunctory pull and it came free.
This was the first time Shi Wang heard her recite her lines seriously.
Her Mandarin was excellent, not standard in the usual sense, but rather like a voiceover or host, with precise and refined pronunciation, but a certain languid, unfocused quality to her tone that broke with the formality, the ending syllable always rising slightly in a teasing way. Fortunately, she had managed to control this somewhat carefree tone for now.
Shi Wang turned away from her, his expression cold and icy: "I have no longing for love, and I will not surrender to you just because of a few words from you."
According to the rhythm of the plot, Zhu Mian took a step closer, keeping a restrained distance. However, Shi Wang could already smell the seductive scent of perfume on her, the faint fragrance of magnolia and white orchid.
Shi Wang doesn't like the floral scent of this kind of women's perfume, no matter how light it is, he finds it cloying.
Her voice lowered, as if it was very fragile: "Really?"
Shi Wang turned back to look at her, and the contempt in his cold willow-leaf eyes was chilling.
Zhu Mian just met his gaze, and the feeling of being despised and humiliated in the past surged up for a moment, but after a moment, she remained calm.
Gu Qingxu looked at them intently.
Shi Wang continued to recite his lines condescendingly.
There was no further contact afterwards, and Gu Qingxu breathed a sigh of relief.
After just two scenes together, Shi Wang felt that she was not suitable for Venus.
Nothing else.
In the early days, Adonis did not like Venus. It was Venus who pursued him passionately, but Adonis despised her sincerity.
No matter how hard she tried, Zhu Mian couldn't act out her deep love for him. She was clearly emotional, but her eyes when she looked at him were always calm, even a little scrutinizing, as if she was deliberately restraining her love.
But he still waited for her to finish.
Day Sleep also continued calmly: "Adonis, your face looks like it was carved by God. You have perfect eyes, the sharpest diamond-cut chin, an ideal temperament, and you have a tall, divinely well-proportioned body with all the ideal muscles and the most perfect and incredible body details."
"Everyone of your ideal gender is attracted to you and wants you—"
There was still a long paragraph to go, and she suddenly stopped.
Shi Wang was puzzled and turned to look at her.
When Xiaomian met his gaze, her crescent eyes were calm and her tone was light, but she uttered something unbelievable:
"Sorry, that's a bit gross."
