Lu Xiao seemed to have just arrived, with his car parked nearby. He walked towards the makeshift dressing room with his usual steady steps.
He immediately spotted Shen Ci, who was wearing a pink Lolita dress, and raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of smiles.
Shen Ci was petrified.
"..." He took a few steps back and closed the door of the dressing room, then opened the door again and walked out - Lu Xiao was still in front of him, and even closer to him.
No way, why is Lu Xiao here?
Is he a supervisor? But Yunxiao didn't invest in this drama!
He couldn't be here to visit the set, but it was clearly Lu Xiao's working hours.
"Ah? It's Mr. Lu... Could he also be a newly added supporting role?" Yang Xi followed him out and said in surprise.
Shen Ci's mouth twitched: "How is that possible?"
He had never heard that Lu Xiao had any interest in this area. It was not his style to give up work to do boring things.
The director came over and handed over a cup of hot tea. "Here you are, Mr. Lu! We have tailor-made several roles for you. You can choose any one of them!"
"Do you want to play the principal or the class teacher? Or a student with excellent academic performance? No problem!"
Shen Ci's jaw dropped in shock: "???"
The director did tell them that some of his acquaintances would make guest appearances, such as Wei Shuo, but... he didn't say that Lu Xiao, who has nothing to do with acting, would also come!
Lu Xiao had been looking at Shen Ci gently, and said casually, "Whatever."
Director: “…”
His expression was a little distorted, and his friends all knew that he hated the words "whatever" and "anything goes" the most!
It's like a fuse.
The director let out a sigh and said with some embarrassment: "Well...why don't you choose? I'm afraid it won't suit your taste."
Lu Xiao: "All is fine."
Director: “…” It feels like a myocardial infarction.
***
Shame on me, but now that I'm wearing them, I still have to film the show...
Shen Ci followed Yang Xi and Wei Shuo to the playground as if he was running for his life, to prepare to shoot the square formation at the sports meet. The actors were almost there already.
The play to be performed today is about the school sports meet. There are more extras than usual, and I guess most of them are students invited directly from our school.
After approaching, Shen Ci took a quick look and found that not only them, but the entire class of actors were wearing gender-swapped clothes. For example, Qin Yun was wearing a casual men's suit.
Yang Xi was the tallest among them, with a height of 185cm, but he was put in a sailor suit. Qin Yun and other actors almost laughed to death.
When the photographer came over to shoot the behind-the-scenes footage, Yang Xing simply let himself go and posed with Wei Shuo.
"Master, come and play!" Yang Xiu shouted.
Wei Shuo almost vomited and yelled for Yang Xi to stay away from him.
Although they were arguing, they saw Shen Ci staying out of the matter and laughing wildly outside the camera. The two of them tacitly carried Shen Ci over, one on each side. Shen Ci was immediately terrified and tried to break free.
Jiao Bo 鏄 怼 见 跷 Zheng Lai
"Ah, stop filming, stop filming!" Shen Ci tried to block the camera with his arms and legs, but was grabbed back by Yang Xi with one hand. He was so sad that he could not cry.
It's over. This is really embarrassing...
Based on the nature of his stupid fans in the past... he could already guess what kind of hot search would come out.
The filming of the marching in a square formation was extremely simple, all you had to do was shout some simple slogans. After the filming, Shen Ci was the first one to rush out to change out of his costume.
"Hey wait! Xiao Shen!" The director called out to Shen Ci through a loud speaker.
Shen Ci suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"I've added a scene for you. Come to the office and don't take off your skirt!"
I can't even take off my skirt...
Shen Ci cried and said, "Brother Zhang, are they in breach of the contract?"
It was difficult for Brother Zhang to hold back his laughter, so naturally he didn't say a word. He put his arm around Shen Ci's shoulders and took him to the office.
Shen Ci went in reluctantly and found that in addition to the complete filming equipment, there was already a person sitting in the middle of the set.
"Xiao Shen is here, come here, this is Mr. Lu who will be acting opposite you in a while." The screenwriter waved at Shen Ci with a few test papers in his hand.
He handed the paper to Shen Ci and said, "Just ask a question. Say whatever you want!"
Shen Ci took over: "..." This is too casual!
He looked at Lu Xiao, who was sitting in the class teacher's seat. His outfit was only slightly groomed. He had a black shirt tied to the top and wore gold-rimmed glasses. His every move exuded elegance.
The abstinence style is for the sake of more desire, and with a very faint and cold smile on the corner of his mouth, Lu Xiao exudes the taste of a gentleman but a loser.
It's clearly a true portrayal of himself.
Lu Xiao smiled at Shen Ci: "Are you ready?"
"Uncle..." Shen Ci called out softly, "What on earth are you doing here?"
Lu Xiao stroked his hair and said, "I'll be your class teacher and discipline you well."
Shen Ci: “?”
The director came over at some point, sat outside next to the surveillance camera, and shouted into the megaphone, "Xiao Shen, go outside the office first! Yes, stand there."
“Ready—Go!”
Shen Ci took the test paper, controlled his nervousness and walked in, his steps were a little crooked.
"Teacher, I can't do this question!"
He placed the test paper on the desk and pointed at it with a commanding attitude.
His character in the drama is a bully, so naturally he needs to be a bit of a jerk.
Lu Xiao stopped writing and his gaze followed Shen Ci's fingers up to his eyes.
"And then?" Lu Xiao said slowly.
Shen Ci frowned, looking a little impatient: "So you teach me."
Lu Xiao put down his pen, moved back a little and leaned back in his chair, with the smile on his face deepening.
"You're just asking a question, why are you dressing up as a girl?"
Shen Ci was stumped by the question. She subconsciously pulled her skirt down and said nothing in embarrassment.
Her legs were awkwardly pressed together. After Lu Xiao's deliberate reminder, Shen Ci felt empty down there again, as if there was nothing to block it.
It would be fine if he was just facing the camera, Shen Ci could still comfort himself that he was letting himself go for the sake of filming.
But wearing it in front of Lu Xiao... Shen Ci felt inexplicably extremely ashamed.
"Why is your face red?"
Instead, Lu Xiao pinched his chin and forced him to raise his head. Shen Ci was caught off guard and met his deep and dark eyes, and was stunned for a moment.
Those deep eyes hid something that Shen Ci could not understand, and they only reflected Shen Ci.
Lu Xiao stared at him closely, and whispered with a smile: "It looks good."
It would look better if I wore it at home just for him to see.
His voice was magnetic and hoarse, so low that only the two of them could hear it. Shen Ci's heart skipped a beat and he looked away uncomfortably.
This atmosphere is so strange, let's talk about something to continue...
Shen Ci's lips trembled nervously, but his mind was blank. He opened his mouth several times but no sound came out, and his throat seemed to be choked by something.
Seeing Shen Ci panicking, Lu Xiao used the tip of his thumb to wet Shen Ciying's lips and said gently, "Why are you so scared?"
Shen Ci didn't dare to say anything. The usually arrogant and overbearing personality of the heroine's younger brother was completely shattered.
He was crying in his heart, which turtle came up with this evil trick?
He was actually asked to challenge Lu Xiao, how could he dare to do that!
Lu Xiao suddenly turned his head, covered his mouth and nose and sneezed.
Shen Ci: “…”
Lu Xiao didn't seem to care about this detail and waved to Shen Ci: "Come closer."
Shen Ci was as obedient as a quail and moved closer to the desk.
"Do you rarely listen to the lectures?"
Shen Ci felt ashamed for the character in the play and nodded.
"This question is very simple." Lu Xiao lowered his eyes, picked up the pen and pointed at the question on Shen Ci's paper: "Your teacher should have explained it many times."
"Also...you can't even recognize your own teacher?" Lu Xiao's voice was smiling.
What's the point of this line? Does it mean that he should make up a story on the spot?
Shen Ci's mind raced, and he took a few steps back in shock: "You, you're not the class teacher? Then why are you sitting here?"
Lu Xiao smiled at him and slowly stood up.
Shen Ci took a few steps back, his face full of fear.
He tried to escape through the door, but was pulled back by Lu Xiao and thrown onto his chest.
Lu Xiao stretched out his hand as if to untie Shen Ci's clothes, and Shen Ci immediately responded by screaming crazily: "Help! You're a hooligan!"
The director, screenwriter, and all the actors next to the monitor: "…………"
It was a big "I'm totally fucking stupid" scene.
How did these two geniuses turn a student's questioning scene into a large-scale 18+ scene? !
The director wanted to stop the filming and correct the increasingly bizarre and crazy plot, but when he thought about the huge sum of money Lu Xiao had transferred to him, he reluctantly let go.
These damn capitalists...why are they always so irresistible!
Lu Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he clamped Shen Ci's shoulders with both hands. After Shen Ci calmed down from vigilance, he stretched out his slender fingers to untie the ribbon on Shen Ci's chest and tied it again.
“Just wanted to tidy it up.”
He carefully lowered his head to help Shen Ci tie the knot. Shen Ci also calmed down, shrank his body and dared not move.
"Cut!" The director couldn't stand it anymore and called a stop at the right moment.
Shen Ci finally relaxed and looked up at Lu Xiao with bright eyes: "Uncle, you acted so well just now. I was shocked."
Lu Xiao's smile never faded, and he touched Shen Ci's head: "You acted better."
Director: “…” How dare you two brag about your business with me here!
How thick a filter must these two have worn to be able to boast? The awkward part just now was totally useless!
He almost cried as he watched the two of them indulge in mindless flattery.
As expected, accepting so many non-professional actors to guest star was a big pitfall...
Yang Xi, who was watching the whole process from a close distance, was also confused.
No, would a normal uncle and nephew perform such a play?!
Yang Xing's face was full of disbelief, and his worldview suddenly suffered a dimensionality reduction blow.
Yang Xi's mouth twitched as he poked Wei Shuo: "Are they always so disgusting as uncle and nephew..."
Wei Shuo gave him a look of contempt and complacency: "See, no matter how familiar you are with Xiao Ci, you don't know his story unless you are his childhood friend!"
"Who told you that they are uncle and nephew? When he was little, Xiaoci used to call him brother. Later, when he saw that people of the same generation like us had to respect him and call him 'Uncle Lu', he changed his way of addressing him."
Yang Xi opened his mouth wide, and was so shocked that he forgot to close it.
Suddenly, I began to understand a little bit why his Weibo account was blocked by Lu Xiao.
Wei Shuo looked thoughtful: "It seems that this idiot... must have realized something. Very good, very good."
"My uncle came here specially this time and it did achieve some results. You'd better be careful in the future." Wei Shuo smiled slyly.
***
Lu Xiao just came to play a supporting role and filmed a few simple clips with Shen Ci and the others before the filming ended and he was about to leave.
Before leaving, he called Wei Shuo alone and talked to him about something.
After Wei Shuo came back, he looked at Shen Ci with a mysterious and strange look, which made Shen Ci feel goosebumps all over his body.
"What did your uncle tell you?" Shen Ci asked.
Wei Shuo chuckled: "Hey, you just asked me to take good care of you! I won't hurt you, why are you so nervous?"
Shen Ci looked at him suspiciously, always feeling that something was wrong.
Soon, Shen Ci knew what Wei Shuo meant by "take care of"...
Whether at the filming location or shooting outside, Wei Shuo was like sticking to Shen Ci, never leaving his side, and was extremely reluctant to let other people get close to him.
When Shen Ci was on stage, Wei Shuo stood closest to the camera and watched.
At mealtime, Wei Shuo forcefully dismissed Yang Xi and others, and took Shen Ci back to the nanny car to eat together every day.
Even when going to the toilet, Wei Shuo insisted on waiting outside, under the pretext of fearing that Shen Ci would be attacked when he was at his most vulnerable moment.
Shen Ci: “…”
Shen Ci protested, but Wei Shuo defeated Shen Ci's resistance with one sentence: "This is what Uncle Lu told me to do."
He could only go back to Lu Xiao angrily to protest, but Lu Xiao...actually took out the pink dress that he had worn a few days ago.
Lu Xiao said leisurely: "If you wear this at home every day, I will call Wei Shuo and explain it again."
Shen Ci: “…” Too cruel, too cruel!
What else could he do but give in? He couldn't wear this shameful garment again...
I cried. Why do I get tricked every day?
***
In order to get all the big guys to play minor roles, the director inserted some weird plots, such as the head teacher's wife is about to give birth so the temporary head teacher takes over, or the academic genius from the neighboring school comes to give a report and joins the class for a week...
The whole play was a complete mess, very different from the version in the initial script reading session.
Shen Ci could fully anticipate that this would be a farce...
However, the filming went smoothly in the remaining two months, and there was no longer any Lin Wanzhi and his ilk to disrupt the filming progress.
The day of wrapping up arrived quickly. That afternoon, the entire crew was caught up in a crazy photo-taking atmosphere. Shen Ci was pulled around and was almost laughing to the point of stiffness.
The final banquet was scheduled for two days later. In addition to the permanent residents, those who had played supporting roles would also be invited.
Shen Ci even asked Lu Xiao specifically, since he was also a supporting actor after all.
It’s a bit regrettable that Lu Xiao had other social engagements that night.
But he happened to be in the same hotel as Sha Qingyan, and Lu Xiao made an appointment with him to send him back to the Shen family after the banquet.
The wine was flowing at the closing banquet, and although the people sitting next to Shen Ci were all acquaintances this time, he still felt a little scared.
He was still haunted by the last time he was drugged.
For this reason, Shen Ci changed the cup several times for fear of being hit again.
"Shuo Shuo, accompany me to the bathroom." Shen Ci poked Wei Shuo quietly.
Wei Shuo smiled and said, "What? You don't want to scold me for being a heartless surveillance camera?"
Shen Ci pinched him and said angrily, "Are you going or not?"
If he wasn't afraid of being caught again, why would he ask someone to go to the toilet with him!
Wei Shuo stood up and said, "Let's go."
***
After solving the physiological problem, Shen Ci felt refreshed.
After washing his hands and drying them, he went out and found Wei Shuo looking at the end of the corridor, seeming to be lost in thought.
"What are you doing?" Shen Ci bumped his shoulder.
Wei Shuo said hesitantly, "I saw...Uncle Lu."
Shen Ci said "Oh", "He was also here for a social event."
Wei Shuo hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's boring anyway, why don't we follow them and see?"
Shen Ci nodded and smiled: "Okay, it's a good opportunity to see who my uncle is drinking with."
"He has had quite a lot of social engagements recently."
Wei Shuo led Shen Ci to the corridor over there, and stopped when they passed a large private room.
Just then, a waiter came to deliver drinks and pushed open the door of the private room, and Shen Ci immediately saw the scene inside the room.
The person sitting in the upper seat was indeed Lu Xiao. The corners of his mouth were curved indifferently as he was listening to an old man on his right speaking, nodding from time to time.
The entire box was filled with shrewd businessmen, but there was one person who didn't fit in.
She was a gentle, generous and beautiful woman, sitting to Lu Xiao's left, pouring wine for him with a sweet smile.
This seating arrangement looks just like a couple entertaining guests.
Shen Ci felt that this woman looked particularly familiar and frowned in confusion.
Wei Shuo had been paying attention to his expression. He bit his lower lip several times in agony, and finally spoke: "Didn't you recognize her? We called her sister when we were little..."
Shen Ci suddenly had an idea and remembered it.
This woman is Hai Jiaxi, the daughter of the Hai family, a family friend of the Lu family, and she has been abroad for many years.
And...it seems like she has an engagement with Lu Xiao?
