Only Starlight

Chapter 4

On a dark stage, only a beam of white light shines down.

The boy in white stood in the center of the stage, and he could vaguely hear the cheers of the audience. In front of the boy was a black microphone stand, surrounded by a silver-white light.

He seemed to be waiting too.

Outside the gymnasium, the young Jian Wei looked up at the huge screen. She just passed by by chance, attracted by the screams in the hall, and subconsciously looked at the screen, but after one glance, she couldn't move anymore.

She didn't know this young man, but she knew that the singing competition that was popular all over the country was being broadcast live in the gymnasium tonight, and this man was also a contestant.

My heart tightened unconsciously, as if I had a premonition that I would see something extraordinary. But what this thing is, she doesn't know.

He was still standing there, as if standing in the center of the world. In the darkness around him, he was the only light.

In the next second, without any warning, dozens of white lights were lit simultaneously, shaking off thousands of stars.

On the one-story-high screen, the boy's face was magnified countless times, and his closed eyes slowly opened.

The audience began to scream, and the drum set sounded crisply, like the horn of the war. The static stage instantly came to life.

She heard his singing. It's not from the live broadcast, but from the scene, from the open-air stadium.

Low, with a sexy husky. So real, even with the slight noise of McCree.

Everyone around disappeared, and only she and him remained in the world. And his singing.

Under the disheveled hair, those eyes were black and shiny, like sharp sword blades, piercing through the screen and piercing people's hearts.

Face to face with Jian Wei.

She opened her eyes.

The floor-to-ceiling curtains were opened a crack, and the snow-white light told her that it was already morning.

The second day she arrived in Beijing.

This is a standard room in the hotel, Jian Wei looked at the bed next to her, and there was no one there. It seems that the voice I heard in a daze was not a dream. Lai Xiaoshuang was woken up by a work call and left before dawn.

She rubbed her face, and the real dream just now flashed in her mind.

It was that look, the look that made her a girlish heart sink.

Jian Wei always clearly remembers that day when she and Jiang Yi met unexpectedly. Before that, she had never liked any celebrity, but after that one glance, everything changed.

There were people coming and going on the street, and she was standing by the side of the road, still holding a Sprite in her hand. It was just taken out of the freezer, and there was a layer of fine water droplets on the outside of the can. Her hands were wet, and the water droplets slid down and dripped on the floor.

She didn't feel anything, she just stared at the big screen.

He was also looking at her, with bright eyes and a smile on his lips, for a ten-thousandth of a second, they seemed to be looking at each other.

Even after seven years, Jian Wei can still recall the trembling at that moment, from the fingertips to the arms, a layer of goose bumps appeared. In the end, she could barely hold the can, and the liquid inside poured out, wet her skirt.

Jian Wei clutched the quilt, pulled it up little by little, and finally covered herself completely, and her face was burning hot. To actually dream about that day must be because I was thinking too much last night, and I didn't fall asleep until three o'clock in the morning. I thought about it every day, so I dreamed at night!

Thinking of last night, many images flashed before my eyes, the crowd of fans outside the airport, the nanny car taking her away from the scene, and the man with a peaked cap on his face, looking at peace. It was like a fast-forward movie, but every frame was so clear that she was convinced that everything was not her imagination.

That photo, she wants to look at the photo again!

The mobile phone vibrated next to the pillow at the right time. She didn't want to go out, so she stretched out one hand to fumble, and retracted it when she found it, covering it under the quilt to pick it up. Sure enough, it was Lai Xiaoshuang, "Are you awake? Come to the set as soon as you wake up. I told you the address, and the pass is next to your pillow. Hurry up, don't make Wuli Jiang male god wait in a hurry."

After the last sentence was ridiculed, I made myself laugh first.

Then Jian Wei groped again, holding it up to her eyes to take a closer look with the faint light in the quilt. It was a hanging sign, with a blue tape, two pieces of plastic hard film pressed a piece of white paper, with the name of the crew and her name printed on it, and there was a square blank in the center, which was reserved for pasting photos.

With this thing, she can enter the crew, and she can once again...

see him.

The boy on the stage and the man in the car, the two images overlap and intersect. She threw off the quilt suddenly and said loudly, "I will definitely be there in half an hour! Wait!"

What did you say? What wakes me up every morning is not a dream, but a man, a god, ah!

The hotel is outside the Fourth Ring Road, and the entire crew of "If There Is No Love" stayed here. Lai Xiaoshuang brought her here late last night, and Jian Wei bumped into the deer, thinking that Jiang Yi's destination should also be here, whether it is possible for them to meet again in the hotel.

It's a pity that YY went all the way, and didn't even meet a handyman.

"If there is no love", as Zhou Peipei's first play after becoming popular, it naturally attracted extensive attention from the media and fans. Half a month after the start of the production, there are always reporters who want to join the crew to visit the crew. However, until now, the crew is still shooting in closed mode, with full airs.

Today's shooting location is nearby, and Jian Wei easily entered inside with his passport. She was wearing a big mask, and her big eyes under her bangs couldn't hide her curiosity as she looked around.

This drama is about the urban workplace, and there is a lot of content about the workplace. The crew rented a large two-story warehouse, and made great efforts to decorate it, turning it into an important scene in the drama—the law firm where the protagonists work.

Now the office is full of people coming and going, and all departments are busy working. Jian Wei looked at the expensive machines, the silver tracks, and all kinds of wires that were pulling something, and there was a lot of noise in her ears.

"Lighting, when will the lighting team be ready? The director is pressing!"

"The earring Mr. Zhou was wearing yesterday is missing! Help, it's for a show, please help find it!"

"Xiao Zhang called Sister Li, what's going on, it's been so long with something, I'm going to get angry if the assistant director doesn't get angry!"

The more Jian Wei listened, the more excited she became. Wow, this is the crew, where he works...

Lai Xiaoshuang saw her, and ran over a few steps, "How is everything going well?"

"Successful. How about you, why didn't you follow Zhou Peipei? As an assistant, you don't need to be on hand around the clock?"

"Second assistant." Lai Xiaoshuang corrected, "I'm not his personal assistant. I'm only in charge of doing errands for this show, and I'm not in charge of anything else."

In other words, the Assistant's Assistant.

That's right, Lai Xiaoshuang's boss is Zhou Peipei. Jian Wei has always admired that after being friends with her for so many years, she can still swallow her breath and serve a person who looks so similar to her.

So bendable and stretchable, he is definitely a great success.

The two of them wanted to say something, but there was a loud noise upstairs, which shook the heavens and made the surroundings suddenly quiet.

Everyone raised their heads one after another, as if they wanted to see the situation above through the ceiling, Lai Xiaoshuang suddenly realized, "Fuck, who messed with that Queen Mother Lafayette again! Are you going to play me to death!" After cursing, he quickly ran towards the stairs .

Jian Wei probably guessed who the "Queen Dowager Lafayette" she was talking about, only hesitated for a second, and followed her up.

The second floor was a little less crowded than the first floor, and a large box fell on the floor, probably the source of the loud noise just now. The lid was lifted, and the contents inside spilled out, and the floor was in a mess, and many people were squatting beside it to clean it up.

Jian Wei looked over, and one meter in front of the box, on the bare floor, was stepping on a pair of black leather and red-soled high heels.

Look up a little bit. Beautiful ankles, elegantly overlapping legs, and a bright red skirt. Further up, there is a small and delicate face.

A very familiar face.

Actress Zhou Peipei sat on a black swivel chair, playing with crystal nails out of boredom.

The crowd crouched at her feet, as if kneeling and saluting. The sun shone in through the glass window behind her, and she seemed to be glowing, so beautiful that she couldn't be real.

Jian Wei couldn't help taking a deep breath.

This is the first time she has seen Zhou Peipei in real life, although since 4 years ago, this name has more and more affected her life.

She is much thinner in person than on TV, with slightly sunken cheeks. Jian Wei is considered very slender among normal people, but she is so thin that she is unhealthy.

From this point of view, the difference between the two is bigger, no wonder Jiang Yi and the others can judge the wrong faster than the fans.

Also gasping for air, there was Lai Xiaoshuang next to him. She ordered herself to laugh, "Teacher Zhou, what's the matter? I just heard some noises from below. Is there something we didn't do well?"

Zhou Peipei seemed to react for a while before raising her eyes to look at her, "What? Oh, you said that box, I didn't make it." She bent her lips and smiled sweetly, "Why do you think I'm the kind of person who loses his temper? The person who smashed things? Want to frame me as a big name?"

Lai Xiaoshuang was taken aback, and quickly said, "No, of course not. I just..."

"It's it, I accidentally bumped into the box in order to catch it..." Another woman squeezed through the crowd and came in with a big white cat in her arms, "I'm sorry to trouble everyone."

Lai Xiaoshuang's expression changed, "Who is this cat?"

"I came here specially to play the role of 'Fat Boy'." The woman said naturally.

Fat Boy is a character in the play, the pet cat of Xia Yiran, the heroine played by Zhou Peipei. The crew had already found one before, but Zhou Peipei told the assistant director that he could not act with it half an hour after seeing the cat, and asked the crew to find another one.

Jian Wei frowned slightly. She clearly remembered that Lai Xiaoshuang was in charge of finding the cat. She still wants to rely on this trick to get out in front of Zhou Peipei!

Jian Wei thought it was interesting, someone was robbing the job, but judging from Zhou Peipei's attitude, it seemed that he was not very satisfied with this one.

Sure enough, the woman approached the cat with her arms in her arms and said, "Pepe, are you sure you don't want to look at it anymore? This is a doll I borrowed from my brother-in-law's house on a special trip. It's so beautiful. It will look good when you hold it in the photo!" "

The woman's name is Bai Lu, and she is Zhou Peipei's new assistant. Zhou Peipei changes an assistant every three months on average. She has just turned two months and is very eager to win the boss's heart, so she abruptly snatches the job of finding cats.

It's just that she still underestimated how difficult Zhou Peipei was to please.

Glancing at the cat, Zhou Peipei looked indifferent, "Is it beautiful? It's not very beautiful. It's not close to people. It won't let me touch it. What do I want it to do? Take it away."

Bai Lu secretly groaned. In fact, when Zhou Peipei first saw the cat, she was interested, but when she wanted to hug it, the kitten was frightened, screamed and fled away.

"Little animals are like this. They are afraid of strangers. If you give it a little more time, it will definitely get close to you..."

Zhou Peipei sneered and didn't answer.

Seeing the embarrassing atmosphere, Lai Xiaoshuang suddenly said: "Sister Lu, you don't know how to do this. Not all cats are afraid of being born. Mr. Zhou obviously wants only lively and sticky ones. And when it comes to beautiful dolls, this one is really cute. It’s not the prettiest one, there are a lot of cute pet accounts on Weibo, and the kittens posted by the owners are all cuter than the other.”

Bai Lu frowned when she stabbed her, but someone beside her agreed, "Ah, I know, I follow quite a few on Weibo. Xiaoshuang, what do you mean, let's contact these internet celebrities and see if we can invite one? "

"There is no need to cast a wide net. Teacher Zhou is so popular, we want to choose a pet for her, and of course we must find the most popular one." Lai Xiaoshuang said.

The girl was taken aback, "You mean..."

Lai Xiaoshuang smiled and said, "Of course it's 'Yuan Gulu'."

As soon as this weird name came out, more than half of the girls present showed a clear expression. Has anyone heard of it before, and the person next to him explained in a low voice, "It's a puppet cat. It's very popular, with nearly a million followers on Weibo, and it should rank among the top three most famous pets on Weibo."

Lai Xiaoshuang: "Actually, the number of fans has exceeded one million last week."

"I agree with it! I'm a die-hard fan, Wuli Yuangulu is beautiful and prosperous, I have to go to brush pictures every night, food for my soul!"

"That's good, but we can't invite them. I have a friend who was on the crew of "Queen of Advertisement" before. I heard that they also took a fancy to Yuan Gulu's fame on the Internet and wanted him to be the actor's pet, but they were ruthlessly rejected in the end. .Cat owners don’t want their pets to be filmed.”

"Try it, our drama is much more invested than "Queen of Advertisement", the wrist is different..."

"Who are you?" Zhou Peipei asked suddenly.

Everyone immediately quieted down. Zhou Peipei was still sitting on the chair, and her eyes fell on the opposite side of her. It was at this time that everyone noticed for the first time that there was someone they didn't know here. Zhou Peipei looked down from her forehead, to her eyes, and finally stopped on the mask.

She repeated: "Who are you?"

Jian Wei felt that her gaze was very cold, like a piece of ice, sliding down the bridge of her nose, making her skin a little tight.

Everyone saw that she had a slim figure, and even though she was wearing a mask, they could tell that she was not bad looking. Besides, wearing a mask is a common dress for celebrities, so I immediately misunderstood, "Is it a new actor in the group? Teacher..."

"No." Jian Wei shook her head and lifted the thing in her hand, "I'm not an actor, this is what's inside."

It was a cat bag. Everyone didn't pay attention to it just now, but their eyes widened after seeing it clearly.

what happened? Another cat delivery!

Bai Lu's face became really ugly, "Who brought you in? We already have a cat, even if this one is not suitable, it's no use for the messy cat outside. Did you pass the security inspection? Who is responsible for scratching Pepe! "

She spoke harshly, and some people showed expressions of disapproval, but more people nodded secretly. Zhou Peipei is so difficult to serve, if she is really injured, the whole crew will be in bad luck.

Besides, who knows what her cat looks like? If it's not beautiful enough, it's better to use Bailu.

Jian Wei didn't answer, put the cat bag on the ground, and unzipped it. When the girls heard "Aww", a white shadow hesitated and poked its head out. In the next second, it sprang out and circled around Jian Wei's feet like a puppy. Finally, it buried its head and hid behind Jian Wei.

Under everyone's surprised and disbelieving gazes, Jian Wei picked it up, shook the cat's paws, and said with a smile, "Let's say hello, this is Yuangulu."
