Xiaoxi, 25 years old this year, is studying in one of the top 3 universities in China. She has been determined to get into the entertainment industry since she was a child. She has first-hand information, but she does not have the appearance to be a star, and she is not ashamed to be followed by paparazzi. So she settled for the next best thing. After graduation, she defeated thousands of troops and horses, and entered Lu Yinbing's studio. A year later, it happened that Lu Yinbing's original assistant resigned and went home. Xue Yao won the lottery and assigned her from the studio to be Lu Yinbing's assistant. It has been three years now.
At that time, Lu Yinbing had been famous for many years, and just showing her face could make fans jump out of the window excitedly. In her mind, Lu Yinbing should be like this: in the dimly lit night, with legs elegantly crossed in front of her, slender fingers holding an exquisite wine glass, gently shaking it, and the whole house is filled with the aroma of mellow red wine from a French estate.
The reality is indeed like this. The lighting is real, the red wine is real, and the iPad next to the red wine is even more real. When Xiaoxi realized her duty to play Landlord for the Queen Lu, she once doubted the purpose of her hard work. Are all the female stars nowadays so fresh and refined
Now there is one more thing that makes her doubt her life. It's not that her tendonitis has come back from playing Landlord, but that Lu Yinbing's soul might have been replaced by someone else.
"Don't go!" Lu Yinbing stopped her sternly.
"Okay little sister."
"I want to read the script."
“Here’s the good script.”
It's eight o'clock.
"What time is it?"
"Half past eight."
"Is there anyone knocking on the door?"
"No."
It's eight fifty.
…
"What time is it?"
"Reply Miss, it's ten o'clock, and no one is knocking on the door."
"Have you learned to answer questions quickly?" Lu Yinbing gave her a sidelong look, stood up, opened the door, and walked around the corridor. Xiaoxi stretched her neck to look around, but then she came back and sat down again. "I want to read the script."
Xiaoxi: “…”
Isn't the script in your hands
The next morning, she had no scenes to shoot, so she didn't have to get up early to put on makeup. As usual, she would either continue to work on the script or go online to prepare for her own things, and she would never turn off the lights and go to bed before midnight. That night, she threw the script away early, didn't turn on the computer, took a shower, and went to bed. Everything was over at 11 o'clock.
Lu Yinbing closed his eyes: "Good night."
Xiaoxi stood at the door and turned off the light for her, saying, "Good night."
Lu Yinbing had a dream at night. She dreamed that she was walking in front and Xia Yitong was chasing her from behind. She walked very fast and Xia Yitong could not catch up at all. She cried and shouted behind her: "Teacher Lu, I was wrong. I shouldn't have not knocked on your door. I was wrong yesterday because of blablabla... Please forgive me."
The scene flashed, Xia Yitong kneeled beside her legs, begging with tears, Lu Yinbing looked down at her, touched her hairy head with his palm, and was very happy in his heart, but his expression was very reluctant: "Forget it, it won't happen again."
Xia Yitong was as if she had been pardoned, and said excitedly: "I won't dare to do it again! There won't be a next time! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, please don't ignore me..."
“Hehehe…”
Xiaoxi stood on the edge of the bed with her arms folded, tapping her forehead, chest, left shoulder, and right shoulder with her fingers, muttering in her heart: "This is not real, this is not real, Teacher Lu is not smiling like a wretched man, this is my hallucination, it's all hallucination, Amen!"
When she opened her eyes, one side of Lu Yinbing's face was pressed against the pillow, while the other cheek looked chubby and rosy, and she was still smiling charmingly.
Xiaoxi closed her eyes and formed the Acalanatha seal in front of her chest, silently chanting: "The soldiers are all in formation—" She suddenly opened her eyes and shouted silently, "Forward! Hurry up and obey the order!"
Lu Yinbing's breathing was steady, with a satisfied smile on his lips.
The fusion of Taoism and Buddhism is of no use.
Xiaoxi looked up at the ceiling: "The key that hides the power of darkness! Please show me your true power! Xiaoxi, who made a promise with you, orders you-" She raised one hand high, as if she was really holding a magic wand, and the magic wand fell and pointed at the top of Lu Yinbing's head, "The seal is released-ah, good morning, Teacher Lu!"
Xiaoxi's hand loosened, and the wand fell to the ground with a thud and disappeared into the air.
"What are you doing?"
Lu Yinbing sat up sleepily, smoothed her long hair which was a little messy after a night of sleeping, pushed it in front of her body, and then fastened the straps of her pajamas that had slipped down her arms. Her exposed shoulders were so white that they were dazzling to the eyes, and her two horizontal and inverted eight collarbones were particularly prominent because of her thinness. Xiaoxi's gaze involuntarily fell on Lu Yinbing's chest again, and she sighed in her heart.
Xiao Xi said calmly, "I'll come over and help you get your clothes for today."
She didn't dare to wake Lu Yinbing up. She was grumpy when woken up. If she was woken up before she got enough sleep, she would have a bad day.
"Oh," Lu Yinbing had a good sleep, her body and her mood were both good, and the dream made her even more comfortable, "What time is it?"
"Seven o'clock."
"Well, I'll go wash up."
Xiaoxi helped her lift the quilt, and a pair of long white legs slid out and stepped into the slippers neatly placed beside the bed. When Lu Yinbing walked over, Xiaoxi smelled the fresh scent of Johnson's baby powder on her body.
An hour later, Lu Yinbing dressed neatly and went out, with three layers of sunscreen on his face and body. As soon as he went out, the sun emitted its heat so arrogantly that it would not stop until it peeled off a layer of skin from people, scorching the earth. A drop of sweat fell on the ground and immediately evaporated without a trace.
The cicadas' chirping continued and then stopped.
When she arrived at the set, Lu Yinbing was already sweating all over. She didn't sit down to rest, but turned her head and whispered to Xiaoxi: "See if Xia Yitong is here?"
Xiaoxi accepted the fact that she had to be the middleman in everything concerning Xia Yitong very calmly. She swept her sharp eyes around the set and finally saw Xia Yitong with a ponytail behind a machine.
Xia Yitong was wearing a T-shirt and trousers, with her long hair tied up, a beautiful nose and cherry lips. She looked as young as a high school student who had just graduated. She was hidden in the crowd, chatting and laughing. If it weren't for her outstanding face and acquired star temperament, no one would have known that she was the most popular young actress today.
Xiaoxi pointed in the direction to Lu Yinbing and whispered, "That's it."
Lu Yinbing was so angry when he saw this.
Is that guy pushing the machine like the Horse King with three eyes or Nezha with three heads and six arms? Is he that good looking? Why does he go there every day when he comes? Look at what you are capable of. If you like pushing the machine so much, just push the machine. Why be a star? The competition in the entertainment industry is so fierce. People are trying their best to get in. I have never seen a star as irresponsible as you!
You are so arrogant, do you want to put your hands on your hips for a while? She said viciously in her heart.
Then Xia Yitong really stood up, seemed to be tired, and rested for a while with his hands on his waist.
Lu Yinbing slightly widened his eyes: As a star, don't you know to pay attention to your image? Just because you look good with your hands on your hips doesn't mean you can just put your hands on your hips casually!
Xia Yitong actually just ran over, and the guy pushing the machine laughed and said, "You are exhausted, aren't you? You're out of breath after just a while. Don't you have to shoot a scene in the afternoon? Listen to me, don't bother with this."
"I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll stay for a while and then go to Director Qin's place to watch the filming."
A drop of sweat rolled down Xia Yitong's forehead, and he felt like a thorn in his back.
She saw Lu Yinbing from a distance and rushed in before she entered the studio. She was afraid that if she saw her again, she would be unable to resist curling her lips, unable to resist her fiery gaze, and unable to resist all the throbbing emotions caused by her.
If a person has feelings for another person, then no fog in the world can cover it up. Pretending not to love her is much more difficult than pretending to love her.
In this case, the only solution is to stay away from her as much as possible.
But what was that gaze that was fixed on her now
Lu Yinbing sat among a bunch of assistants, using the air-conditioning fan and drinking cold water. He felt cool, but his heart was burning. Last night's dream and reality formed a sharp contrast. If you strip away the contrast, it shouldn't be like this normally.
Lu Yinbing thought calmly: She was fine yesterday, very polite to me, even a little shy, and said she was my fan. Why did she suddenly become like this today? Could something have happened? As a partner, it is basic etiquette to ask.
She found a way out for herself, handed the cup of water to Xiaoxi, and walked towards Xia Yitong with peace of mind.
"Xia Yitong."
Xia Yitong's body suddenly stiffened, and her hand holding the armrest paused. She patted the dust off and stood up. She quickly glanced at Lu Yinbing and greeted him politely, "Teacher Lu."
"What happened to you?" Lu Yinbing looked at her eye makeup, which was thicker than yesterday. He suppressed the anger that had accumulated overnight and said gently and kindly, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"Well, I read the script late."
"Nothing else?" Just reading the script? Lu Yinbing's heart sank.
Xia Yitong smiled gently: "What else?"
Lu Yinbing looked at her quietly, her deep eyes seemed to contain thousands of words: "Didn't you forget anything?" For the first time, Lu Yinbing seriously wanted to get a very simple answer that she had never thought of before. Even if Xia Yitong said, "I'm sorry, Teacher Lu, I forgot to knock on your door to look for you last night", she could forgive her and let bygones be bygones.
She didn't forget, of course she didn't forget! But there are some things that she can't do just because she remembers them. Because she knows how muddy the water in this circle is, she can't put Lu Yinbing in any dangerous situation. She can't be so selfish.
Xia Yitong lowered his eyes for a long time, then raised his head and looked back at her. He thought carefully and shook his head: "No, I haven't forgotten anything."
Her expressions were impeccable and showcased her acting skills to the fullest.
Lu Yinbing looked at her for a long time, nodded, and took a half step back. This half step seemed to bring their feelings of the past few days back to where they were, or even further.
Lu Yinbing said in a distant tone: "I remembered it wrongly, sorry."
Watching Lu Yinbing's resolute back, Xia Yitong's mouth curved quickly, but the root of her tongue was full of bitterness. She had never been so grateful that she was an actor, nor had she ever hated herself so much for being an actor.
