What did I say? Am I crazy? Can I still maintain my image as an innocent little brother
Jiang Baiyan reflected on the third time and was on the verge of personality collapse.
He wanted to explain something, but the more he explained, the worse it got. He insisted that he understood nothing, which made him seem pretentious and offensive.
So he just slapped himself and pleaded pitifully: "I said something wrong, please forgive me, okay?"
Jian Jing smiled again.
"I don't blame you." She handed him a cookie. "Eat it quickly, the coffee is getting cold."
The power is off, the water in the kettle is not hot, and it will quickly cool down in this weather. Drinking cold water in a cold weather can easily make your stomach uncomfortable.
Jiang Baiyan took it and nibbled it in small bites.
Jian Jing asked him: "Do you know what Xue Zhe meant by raising a little ghost?"
He nodded, swallowed the biscuit, and whispered, "There are rumors of this kind of thing, but it's actually not common. Most people worship Buddha and believe in religion, donate incense money and buy talismans or something."
"For Red?"
"Master Jingjing, have you ever heard of this saying, 'Minor success depends on promotion, great success depends on luck.'" Jiang Baiyan said, "It's really like that. If you have failed 99% of the time and your destiny is not to be successful, you will never be successful. But if you are lucky, 60% is enough - who wouldn't pray to God for help?"
Jian Jing asked: "Tao Tao and Shao Meng, which gods are they praying to, and which Buddha are they worshipping?"
Jiang Baiyan scratched his face and said helplessly: "Master Jingjing, there is no way I can know this. Unless the relationship is very good, no one will reveal this, otherwise it will only cause trouble for themselves."
That's right. She changed the question: "You guys were taking a hot spring bath yesterday, was Shao Meng there too?"
Jiang Baiyan nodded.
"Did you see the tattoo on his body?" She pointed, "It's on the back of his waist."
Jiang Baiyan: “…”
"Um?"
"We wear pants," he said dryly, "to protect ourselves."
"Uh, okay." Jian Jing pretended not to want to laugh and changed the question, "Can you tell me about Shao Meng and Tao Tao?"
Jiang Baiyan was very happy to do so. He sorted out his thoughts and said, "Brother Shao didn't graduate from a drama academy. He used to be a singer, but later he had surgery on his voice and couldn't sing anymore, so he started acting. It didn't seem to go very smoothly at first, as the music industry and the film and television industry are two different things. But he later found a way to meet a director and joined the crew of "Mystery of the Great Song Dynasty"."
Jian Jing said: "I heard that he played the second male lead."
"Yes, but although he is the second male lead, he actually has very few scenes. It's just that his role is good, a suave and charming young man." Jiang Baiyan said, "The male lead played by Brother Xie is a commoner. In order to fit the role, he is dressed in plain clothes. If the audience has watched the drama, they will find that the director deliberately made Brother Xie ugly - if he looks too good, the audience will be distracted."
Jian Jing was surprised and asked, "Because of this, Shao Meng became angry, but Xie Wei didn't?"
"I can't think of any other reason." Jiang Baiyan said seriously, "The drama is so popular, it's a prime time slot, I watched it when I was a kid, and the supporting characters all became famous, for example, Sister Tao, she played a dancer, appeared on the screen for less than ten minutes, and in the next episode she got the leading role in the unit of The Emperor's Secret Visit."
"Wait." Jian Jing discovered the blind spot, "Tao Tao is here too? Are they all actors in "Mysterious Cases of the Song Dynasty"? "
Jiang Baiyan nodded.
Jian Jing thought, very good, according to the routine, someone might have died in "The Mystery of the Great Song Dynasty", so she asked: "Did anything happen during the filming?"
Jiang Baiyan: “…”
His figure gradually became shorter and shorter, shrinking into a ball.
Jian Jing: “?”
"I don't know." He whispered, "I also looked up what happened to Brother Shao on the Internet."
Jian Jing was slightly stunned. Yes, 10 years is equal to an era in the entertainment industry. Jiang Baiyan is one year younger than her. How much can he know? But because of this, he specifically looked up information just to answer her when she asked. This kind of thought was even more touching.
He is a straightforward and pleasing person, but not annoying.
"Thank you," she said.
Jiang Baiyan pursed his lips, feeling a little proud and a little depressed: "Alas, it's a pity that the Internet was disconnected later."
"It's okay, I can go ask the person involved." Jian Jing stood up and ruffled his hair. "You should go back and rest early. Good night."
Jiang Baiyan opened his mouth, but didn't know how to keep her, so he held his head in frustration.
Knocking on a man's door in the dead of night is a bit ambiguous. Especially in the entertainment industry, knocking on someone's door in the middle of the night to discuss a script is equivalent to being indescribable below the neck.
But Xie Wei hesitated for only a moment before deciding to open the door.
The person outside the door held a scented candle in his hand, and the faint warm light illuminated her fair face. As a result, the hideous shadows and demons behind her retreated and lurked back into the shadows.
"Can I talk to you?" she asked.
Xie Wei blinked and stepped aside to invite her in.
When Jian Jing walked into Xie Wei's room, her first impression was that it was too dark. He didn't have a candle, nor did he use a flashlight. The curtains were drawn tightly, even the lightning outside was blocked out, and it was as thick as freshly melted ink.
She quickly inspected the entire room. The layout was similar to Shao Meng's room, but she had much less luggage than Shao Meng, and very few things. She took them all in with just a few glances.
The most eye-catching thing was the medicines he placed on the bedside table, many bottles and jars.
"You are sick, I didn't want to disturb you." Jian Jing smiled and sat down on the chair by the window, "But I have some questions, I would like you to help me answer them."
Xie Wei sat on another chair and smiled: "Okay."
Perhaps it was because of the night, or perhaps it was because of the medicine he had taken, he seemed a little listless, and his words were no longer as distant as before, but more casual and unfocused, which made people's ears itch.
"What do you want to ask?" he asked.
Jian Jing said: "I heard that Shao Meng and Tao Tao both starred in "Mysterious Cases of the Great Song Dynasty"."
Talking about this drama, Xie Wei's tone was a little strange: "That's what happened."
"Did anything happen when you were filming this drama?" Jian Jing asked.
He smiled. The omnipresent darkness cast a natural shadow on his face, which further highlighted the charm of this face. If you look at it for a long time, you will be confused.
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Xie Wei said, "Too many things happened that year."
Jian Jing paused for a moment and looked away from his face: "Has anyone died?"
"No."
"Has anyone been hurt by this? Like, their careers have been ruined or something like that."
This time, Xie Wei finally laughed out loud and said, "Me."
Jian Jing immediately looked at him: "Is this luck or human nature?"
Xie Wei leaned back in his chair, crossed his hands on his abdomen, and said after a while: "It's fate."
Life was not within Jian Jing's consideration. She was a little disappointed, so she had to ask the next topic: "Are Shao Meng and Tao Tao on good terms?"
Xie Wei did not answer immediately, but chuckled and said, "Ms. Jian, I have already answered many of your questions."
"So?" She raised her eyebrows.
He looked at her carefully, the light and shadow in his field of vision were infinitely magnified, the night looked like a beast lurking in the jungle, and she and the candlelight were so bright and holy that they forced the darkness to retreat.
"Now it's my turn to ask. Has Miss Jane ever had her fortune told?"
Jian Jing: "I don't believe this."
"I didn't believe it before." Xie Wei looked up, his eyes fixed on something in the void, "But it's strange, people have said since I was a kid that I'm lucky and will be famous in the future. It was like this 10 years ago, and it was also like this 8 years ago. Even when I hit rock bottom, they still swore to tell me that I'm lucky."
Jian Jing pursed her lips and didn't really believe in these metaphysical theories.
He asked, "Don't you think this is strange?"
Jian Jing said: "I think you are weird."
There was an indescribable strange aura around Xie Wei, as if he was sitting on a stage with a brilliant spotlight above his head and a terrifying black hole below that was slowly swallowing him.
She seemed like an audience member who had accidentally entered the stage. They were amazed by her grace and even more attracted by the turbulent undercurrents in the audience, and could not help wanting to explore the mystery.
"What's the point of you telling me this?" she asked.
Xie Wei closed his eyes, and his face was instantly hidden in darkness. After a moment, he smiled and sighed, "It seems so." He suddenly stood up, poured a glass of water from the thermos and handed it to her, "Drink some water."
Jian Jing hesitated for a moment and took it.
Xie Wei moved the cup forward.
Jian Jing's fingers touched something cold, chilling her to the bone. She asked, "Your hands are cold, are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay. Let me answer your question." Xie Wei recovered and said, "Shao Meng and Tao Tao didn't have much communication when they were filming "Mysterious Cases of the Song Dynasty". Shao Meng is a singer and well-known, but Tao Tao is a newcomer. But after filming this movie, they dated for a short time."
Jian Jing immediately put aside the messy thoughts: "Then what?"
"It is said that their relationship originated from an accident." Xie Wei's tone suddenly rose, quite meaningfully, "And at that time, the crew had more than one accident. Everyone said that the set was haunted."
Jian Jing: “…”
Is this the end? Are you going to indulge in feudal superstition again
After saying goodbye to Xie Wei and going back to my room to sleep, it was already 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.
Jian Jing washed up hastily, fell on the bed, closed her eyes and began to have a nightmare.
There are ghosts in the dream.
I woke up the next day in a cold sweat.
It's really scary.
But luckily, the rain stopped at some point, and the warm sunlight shone through the window, dispelling the evil spirits of last night.
Jian Jing took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and went downstairs to have breakfast.
The electricity supply has been restored, and the hostess has prepared hot breakfast, including steamed buns, fried rice, and hot porridge, all of which are very authentic.
Jian Jing was concentrating on eating when she suddenly saw a cup of coffee in front of her.
Cappuccino, the latte art is a bit ugly.
"Teacher Jingjing." She saw a bright and beautiful face. "Good morning."
Jian Jing smiled: "Good morning."
"Coffee." Jiang Baiyan pushed the cup forward again and asked with concern, "Master, did you not sleep well yesterday? I felt it was eerie and scary, too."
"Thank you." Jian Jing took a sip of hot coffee and sighed comfortably, "I had a nightmare all night and my headache is terrible."
Jiang Baiyan immediately showed a nervous look: "Did you get a cold wind? Do you need to take medicine?"
She shook her head and asked instead, "Are the police here?"
Before he finished speaking, there was a noise at the door and someone asked, "Police, who reported the case?"
Jian Jing immediately put down the chopsticks in her hand, swallowed the bun whole, stood up and left.
Jiang Baiyan glanced at the coffee, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything.
But Jian Jing seemed to have thought of it. She turned back, smiled at him, and drank the coffee in the cup.
Jiang Baiyan bit his lip and smiled very happily.
Jian Jing didn't see it, and hurried to the door: "Me."
"We meet again." The policeman who came this time was an acquaintance, Liang Yi, who had solved the case of painter Chang together. She had short hair and looked heroic. She finally had a partner by her side.
Jian Jing breathed a sigh of relief and went straight to the point: "Officer Liang, this case is a bit unusual."
Liang Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.
