Chapter 44 “I don’t know you, so I’m asking for directions.”
After the announcement of the makeup photos a few days ago to build momentum, Ji Zeqiu is about to start filming.
As soon as Ji Zeqiu arrived on the set, other actors and artists greeted him warmly. Through the crowd, he saw Shen Qingtang in the distance.
She was standing alone in the corner, looking down at the script in her hand seriously.
It’s just a little maid with a pitiful role and not many lines, but the character has a lovable personality and the character runs through it from beginning to end, which is considered good.
When the director came to talk to him about the script, there was a shortage of this role, so Ji Zeqiu recommended her to the director.
This is also one of the conditions of the agreement between him and Shen Qingtang.
As a substitute, she needs to be on call, and Ji Zeqiu pays her a sum of money and occasionally gives her a few resources.
Several staff members passed by Shen Qingtang, glanced at her, and complained softly.
“It took me a long time to read the script for just those two or three lines. People who didn’t know it thought she was going to play the female lead.”
She had heard such complaints too many times. Shen Qingtang ignored them and was about to continue reading the script when she felt a gaze falling on her.
She looked up and met Ji Zeqiu's eyes.
In an instant, her mind flashed back to the somewhat ambiguous kiss that had been interrupted in the RV a few days ago, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face.
When Shen Qingtang originally agreed to be a substitute, he was mentally prepared to have close contact with Ji Zeqiu.
The result was exactly the opposite of what she thought. Ji Zeqiu mostly just asked her to dress up like that girl, and then stay with him, chat, and eat...
More like... coaxing?
This ambiguous atmosphere seems to be the first time.
She bit her lip and was thinking about how she should face Ji Zeqiu when she saw him look away calmly, like a stranger, and turned around to leave.
Shen Qingtang's heart seemed to be squeezed tightly by a hand, feeling a little uncomfortable and unable to breathe.
……
Ji Zeqiu was busy with the crew for a week, and even moved to a hotel booked by the crew nearby because the crew was too far away from home.
Until he had no part to play today and got a day off, he drove away from the set and came to Wenli's school unknowingly.
He has been sending messages to Wen Li in the past few days, and she has always replied intermittently. And yesterday, he sent a message about asking her to meet, but there has been no response yet.
Ji Zeqiu looked at the students coming in and out of the gate, snorted, and secretly laughed at himself.
The school is so big, even if he waits at the door for a whole day, he won't be able to meet Wenli.
He sat in the car, lit a cigarette, and after a while blew out a circle of white smoke. His eyes were blurred by the white smoke. He stared blankly at the door, but his thoughts were wandering to no one knows where.
"Xu Wei, wait for me."
Just after class, Xu Wei hurried to the school gate, and Wen Li hurriedly chased after her.
"Have you found the members for today's group assignment? Why don't we work as a team?" Wen Li asked her.
"Well, I have promised Xiaoyu to be a group with them." Xu Wei said she was embarrassed, but there was no apology on her face.
Before, Xu Wei would only wait for his group invitation, but now she takes the initiative to join other people's groups.
Wen Li was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said: "It doesn't matter, then I will go in and join you."
"Our group is full, you can go find someone else. ." Xu Wei looked indifferent and looked around the school gate. After seeing a red sports car, her eyes suddenly lit up and she walked quickly over there.
"I have something else to do, so I have to leave first." She didn't talk to Wen Li too much, and got into the sports car without looking back.
Wen Li bit her red lips lightly, her face looking a little ugly. I don't know if it was her misunderstanding, but Xu Wei seemed to be a lot more indifferent to her.
I no longer waited for her to go to class together, nor did I ask her to go shopping together. Even the messages she sent me received few replies.
"Wen Li."
Wen Li was in a low mood. Just as she was about to turn around and go back to school, she heard a familiar voice.
She turned around and found a man wearing a black mask leaning against the car, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
"Ji Zeqiu?!" Wen Li exclaimed in a low voice.
Although his face was covered, Wen Li recognized him at a glance. After all, he came to her more often wearing a mask.
In a blink of an eye, Ji Zeqiu walked up to her and asked softly: "Are you going out? Wherever you are going, I will take you."
Ji Zeqiu was facing her Shi was always gentle, which was completely different from Ji Tingyang's violent temper.
Wen Li was in a daze for a moment and said hurriedly: "No, I have to go back to the dormitory now. You should leave quickly to avoid being recognized."
"Then I'll take you back to the dormitory. I haven't walked through your school yet." In the past, Wen Li was trapped in Ji's house by Ji Tingyang. Ji Zeqiu was always blocked when he wanted to see her. Now that she finally left Ji's house, he thought Stay with Wenli for a while.
"Forget it, what if you are discovered by others." Wen Li dissuaded.
Hearing her concern, Ji Zeqiu felt a little happy. He said it didn't matter and continued walking inside.
Wen Li grabbed his arm in a hurry, and the next moment, she heard him take a breath of air and suddenly hiss.
“What’s wrong with you?” Wen Li was startled.
"It's okay. I accidentally bumped my arm during filming. It's just a minor injury."
Bumps and bumps are inevitable in martial arts scenes. Ji Zeqiu is used to the occasional bruises and scratches on his body. .
He suppressed the distorted expression on his face, and soon his expression returned to normal.
Wen Li's lips were slightly opened, and when she was about to say something, she heard someone calling her.
She turned her head, her expression suddenly became tense when she saw Xiao Yu, and she took two steps back to distance herself from Ji Zeqiu.
"What is this?" Xiao Yu came back from school and saw Wen Li standing with another man.
“I don’t know you, but I’m asking for directions.” Wen Li pulled Xiao Yu and walked to the school, “Let’s go back quickly.”
Ji Zeqiu had long known that Wen Li had a boy Friend, but now that I see her severing the relationship with him and dragging other men away, I still feel a pang in my heart.
He looked at the two people's leaving figures and was stunned for a long time before driving back to the apartment.
Ji Zeqiu pushed open the door and was startled by Lin Xu, who was sitting on the ground with half of his body lying on the sofa.
Lin Xu's cheek was buried on the sofa, and her long black hair was scattered around her side, covering her profile and petite body, making it impossible to distinguish the ups and downs of her breathing.
Could he be dead? !
Ji Zeqiu's pupils trembled slightly and he hurriedly stepped forward. He stretched out his fingers and was about to reach the tip of her nose when he met her eyes that suddenly opened.
His heart suddenly contracted, and it took him a long time to recover, and he cursed: "You are sick, pretending to be a corpse here!"
If you have the skills, you might as well join the crew as a corpse extra. You can also get a red envelope.
Lin Xu flattened his mouth and his eyes turned red.
Ji Zeqiu's head suddenly felt heavy. Is this woman going to cry? !
His tone just now wasn't that fierce.
