fear of intimacy

Chen Shu asked Zhou Xu to attend a class for the second time, leaving Peng Shuai at the dessert shop outside the community, and went into the unit building alone.As soon as I got out of the elevator, I heard people arguing——

"It's you who said you don't want your aunt to come, so I came to see you today, to help you clean the house and buy food and drink for you, and I didn't give the key to anyone else, what else do you want!"

"..."

"Do you still want to sever the father-son relationship with me? Do you think that if you do this, your mother will thank you? The matter between me and your mother has nothing to do with you. Ask yourself how I have sorry for you all these years !"

"..."

"Okay! Now that your wings are hardened, I will treat you as my son in the future!"

A middle-aged man came out angrily at the corner, his hair was dyed black and shiny, his shirt and trousers were meticulous, but his skin condition was not good, loose and dull, and he looked a little old.A pair of triangular eyes, showing three whites when looking at people, gloomy and arrogant.

The middle-aged man ran into Chen Shu head-on, his angry expression froze, and he hurried into the elevator without turning his head.

The route the middle-aged man walked was leading to Zhou Xu's house. Chen Shu stood there for a while, not sure if it was the right time to visit.

Chen Shu didn't turn the corner until he thought that Zhou Xu had returned to the house——

The door was open, Zhou Xu leaned against the door frame, stood by the door with his chest folded and his head bowed, his eyelids covered his pupils, his face looked cold and pale against the light of the aisle.Because he lowered his head, he didn't see Chen Shu. Chen Shu was able to observe this person who gave people a very cold first impression. It was not without reason. The lack of soft lines on the face makes it difficult to get along with at first glance.

Hearing footsteps, Zhou Xu raised his head, and Chen Shu walked in front of him.

In Zhou Xu's light-colored pupils, there was an emotion of boredom that could not be suppressed in time.

Chen Shu greeted him: "Good afternoon, Teacher Zhou."

Zhou Xu blinked, stood up from the door frame on which he was leaning, and gave way to the door, saying in a low voice, "Good afternoon."

Zhou Xu bent down to open the shoe cabinet, only then did Chen Shu realize that Zhou Xu was wearing soft-soled leather shoes, as if he had just returned from outside.

Chen Shu stared at the protruding ridge on Zhou Xu's shirt when he changed his shoes for a while, and asked in a strange way, "Netizen, is that the murderer's father you suspect?"

Zhou Xu's back stiffened.

After a while, he changed his shoes and turned to face Chen Shu with no expression on his face: "Come in, let's start today's teaching."

Chen Shu started acting at the age of six. What he is best at in his life is trying to figure out various emotions, acting, including recognition.According to his analysis, Mr. Zhou is not teaching at all today——

"The three levels of hypnosis have their own stage characteristics. Light hypnosis is delusions and hallucinations, moderate hypnosis is a physiological phenomenon of abnormal perception, deep hypnosis is... wait, I said the opposite, illusions and hallucinations are deep hypnosis Features, shallow hypnosis is the corresponding action generated by the movement of ideas..." Zhou Xu pressed his knuckles to the center of his eyebrows and frowned deeply.

Chen Shu turned over the water cup used as a "teaching prop" in the tea tray, poured out a glass of water and pushed it in front of Zhou Xu: "Why don't you rest for a while?"

Zhou Xu didn't drink water, didn't speak, got up and walked out of the study.

Not long after, there was a loud crash from outside.

Chen Shu was flipping through the catalog of "Hypnotism and Psychotherapy" for research, and was taken aback. He hurriedly put down the book and rushed out to have a look—it was a chair by the dining table that had fallen over. Zhou Xu stood beside the chair and opened his eyes. His big eyes were looking in the direction of the balcony with a dazed expression.

The blackout cloth on the balcony was pulled away, leaving only a layer of window screen, which was blown and fluttered by the new wind passing through the window gap, revealing the scorching red sun that flickered behind the window screen.

Chen Shu glanced at it, but couldn't see anything unusual, walked over to help the chair up, and asked Zhou Xu in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Xu bowed his head and closed his eyes, his face looked paler than when he was at the door before, his cold and hard facial lines relaxed, showing a little tired handsomeness.

"You guessed right," he said. "In my mind, the murderer was indeed my father."

Chen Shu listened quietly.

"But my mother committed suicide."

When I was in the fifth grade of elementary school, my mother picked me up from school every day. At that time, my mother had been away from work for a long time, and in order to take care of her son and husband, she couldn’t even work part-time.My mother was a typical strong woman in the workplace, but she suffered from parenting depression when she left the workplace.It's just that I wear a smiley mask in front of my family and work hard.

Then one day, I waited for a long time at the school gate after school, but my mother didn't show up, so I had to go home by myself.In fact, I had the keys to the house at that time, and I remembered the way home, but my mother was always worried.

When I got home, there was no answer for my mother. I opened the door of the master bedroom and found my mother sleeping.I walked over gently and saw my mother's sleeping face.

I have never seen my mother asleep.When I was awake, my mother was also awake, cooking for me and accompanying me to do my homework; after I fell asleep, my mother was still awake, washing clothes and tidying up the house, and sorting out the clutter of a family of three.

The way my mother fell asleep was very peaceful and sweet, as if she was having a good dream that she didn't want to be disturbed by others.

I saw half a glass of water and some bottles and cans on the bedside table, most of which were antidepressants that my mother usually took.I didn't understand anything at the time, so I closed the door of the master bedroom so as not to disturb my mother's sleep.

It was much later that I understood what this meant.

Sitting in front of the makeup mirror, Chen Shu watched the makeup artist paint his already soft eyebrows more tenderly, and Zhou Xu's rare confession that day kept echoing in his mind.

Xiao Peng called him several times before he came back to his senses.

"Brother, what are you thinking, Teacher Xin Hong is here to see you." Xiao Peng worried.

Xin Hong did not know when he appeared in his lounge, because there was no filming session today, he was wearing casual clothes and silver-rimmed glasses, elegant and refined.

Chen Shu wiped his face, breathed a long sigh of relief, and saw Xin Hong smiling narrowly at him behind him through the mirror.

The makeup artist grabbed his hand: "Don't touch it!"

Xin Hong supported the back of Chen Shu's chair, leaned close to his cheek, and looked at Chen Shu in the mirror: "Today is beautiful."

Chen Shu turned his head away calmly, and corrected: "Very handsome."

Xin Hong straightened up without changing his face, and rubbed the top of Chen Shu's hair like a close brother: "Handsome!"

The makeup artist grabbed Xin Hong's hand and said, "Don't mess around!"

The makeup artist went crazy: "Please respect my work!!"

Xin Hong and Chen Shu apologized quickly, and surrendered with both hands, expressing that they did not dare to move.

Xiao Peng accompanied the makeup artist to tidy up the tools on the table.Xin Hong and Chen Shu sat on the sofa and chatted.Xin Hong has worked with Chen Shu before, and is a senior in acting, and has helped Chen Shu a lot.

"So you are bothering the rationality of this scene?" Xin Hong understood.

This scene is indeed a bit difficult, mainly to test Chen Shu's interpretation of Xu Nanzhu - after Pei Jue discovered that Xu Nanzhu came out of Zhang Bosi's office, Xu Nanzhu used hypnosis to create memory confusion for Pei Jue.

After Zhou Xu's teaching, Chen Shu believed that the whole plot was problematic, because the eyes alone could not instantly put a stranger into a deep hypnotic state.This obviously artistically exaggerated plot can easily confuse the audience.

"Director Huang and I have also discussed it, but we can't get in touch with the original author for the time being, and the screenwriter can't think of a better way to change it. Director Huang still decided to shoot according to the original work," Chen Shu said, "I am afraid that the real effect will run counter to the ideal. .”

Sin Hong asked, "Does your hypnotist have any suggestions?"

Chen Shu: "He warned us not to make such dramas that are divorced from reality."

Xin Hong: "..."

"What's more," Chen Shu suddenly remembered, "I seem to have said that hinting is a kind of conceptual exercise, such as persuading people to quit drinking, you can't directly order it, but say that there is a stench in the wine, which makes it produce drinking orders. People can't bear the concept, so they quit drinking..." Chen Shu said, thinking about it.

Xin Hong smiled: "It seems that you already have an idea."

The door of the lounge was pushed open, and a familiar face came in - it was Jiao Yuting, who was recently transforming into an acting school.This guy came out of the audition with a smile on his face that day, and Xin Hong personally sent him off, making Chen Shu almost think that he had no chance, but it turned out that he was promised to play the third male role-the action team one who was dazzled by Xu Nanzhu Captain Pei Jue.

Jiao Yuting had two dimples on his face, and the corners of his lips curled up, making him look very kind and lovely.

"Brother Chen, are you busy?" He opened the door and came in, followed by his assistant, saw Xin Hong was there, and hurriedly said hello.

Xin Hong and Jiao Yuting are also very close, and they teased him: "The machine will start up soon, why are you here at this time, please let me go?"

Jiao Yuting was acting for the first time, and he was nervous, so he was easily overwhelmed by an experienced actor like Chen Shu.

"I know there is a rivalry scene with Brother Chen today. I didn't sleep well last night. I was afraid that my performance would hurt Brother Chen," Jiao Yuting said sincerely, "I want to have a scene with Brother Chen first. Do you think it's convenient now?" ?”

This puts the posture very low. Jiao Yuting recorded a variety show together three months ago, and Jiao Yuting has not been so low and small.

Xin Hong raised his eyebrows.

Chen Shu was a little uncomfortable: "Actually, we don't use honorifics, we are the same age..."

Jiao Yuting waved his hand: "No, no, in the entertainment industry, you are my senior! Please give me your advice for this cooperation!"

Chen Shu: "It's not that..."

Jiao Yuting: "I want it, I want it!"

Alright, the words of Che Jilu are back.

Chen Shu pulled the corners of his mouth and twitched: "Okay, okay, let's play against each other first."

"According to the script, you are going to conquer me with your eyes, and I will stare into your eyes when the time comes? What does it feel like to be hypnotized, and should you behave in a trance?" Jiao Yuting asked humbly.

"This..." Chen Shu was a little uncertain, "Or, you can actually consider expressing a confused emotion."

Jiao Yuting didn't understand.

"Yes, that's it," Chen Shu raised his chin to indicate the expression on his face, "Actually, you don't understand what Xu Nanzhu is talking about. It is obvious that he came out of Zhang Bosi's office, but he told you that he was Coming out of the other room, shouldn't you be confused?"

Jiao Yuting showed a look of sudden realization: "Oh! I understand, the progression of emotions, right! Thank you Brother Chen, I'll go back and prepare!"

Jiao Yuting ran away like flying.The assistant closed the lounge door for them.

"Hey!" Chen Shu couldn't help calling Jiao Yuting, his eyes had nowhere to go, so he could only look at Xin Hong, hesitating to speak.

Xin Hong said very politely: "What else do you want to say?"

Chen Shu remained in deep thought: "Why do I feel that he doesn't understand me at all?"

Return to zero, take three shots once in ten games.

Xu Nanzhu closed the office door softly, turned around and was about to leave, when a figure appeared at the corner ahead, projecting onto the originally empty corridor.

The corridor is one-way, and the back is a dead end.

Xu Nanzhu's hand hanging by his side was clenched instantly, and an inconspicuous masseter muscle bulged on his cheek.

Pei Jue came out from the corner and bumped into Xu Nanzhu.

The first captain was wearing a leather jacket and high boots, visually he was half a head taller than Xu Nanzhu, Xu Nanzhu was just a rabbit with no attack power in front of him.

Seeing Xu Nanzhu, Pei Jue was a little confused: "Xu Nanzhu? How can you do it from Zhang..."

Chen Shu should interrupt himself here, and then use his eyes to hypnotize and brainwash himself.Jiao Yuting was ready, just waited for Chen Shu to give him a look, and he would enter a state of trance and memory confusion.

However, Chen Shu didn't answer, he waited for Jiao Yuting to finish speaking.

Jiao Yuting's heart skipped a beat: "...Come out from the office?"

Only then did Xu Nanzhu's soft and bright pupils reflect Pei Jue's face. It was so dark that it seemed to have a bottomless vortex. The daytime light was embedded in the inner wall and revolved around, hiding some deep meaning: "Do you see clearly? You I just turned a corner, and the wall blocked my view, how did you see me coming out of Zhang Chu's office?"

Why are the lines completely different?Jiao Yuting was genuinely stunned, but Chen Shu's eyes were like magnets, firmly attracting his attention.

"This……"

"You can't even see the corridor, so how can you see the door of Zhang Chu's office? Captain Pei, what are you thinking?" Xu Nanzhu took a step forward, obviously half a head shorter than Pei Jue, but forced him to ask Pei Jue by looking down.

"I..." Jiao Yuting didn't know how to respond.

"Card!"

The director poked his head out from behind the monitor: "Chen Shu, come here!"

Chen Shu withdrew from Xu Nanzhu's state, raised his hand and scratched his hair, smiled bitterly, and trotted over.

The little assistant hurried over to wrap Jiao Yuting in the down jacket, unscrewed the thermos cup and handed hot water: "Ting Ting, you acted so naturally just now! The staff are all praising you!"

Jiao Yuting stared at Chen Shu, who was communicating with the director, with a crease between his brows: "Did he improvise his lines just now?"

Assistant: "?"

Jiao Yuting seemed to be in a daze, and murmured in a low voice: "I even confronted him, why didn't you tell me then, waiting for the machine to start up caught me off guard, did you want to give me a bad blow..."

The little assistant followed Jiao Yuting's gaze. The director was happily patting Chen Shu on the shoulder and giving him a thumbs up. Chen Shu smiled embarrassingly.

"You mean Chen..." The little assistant fell silent—Jiao Yuting was behind her with a sinister expression.

The director and screenwriter got together to watch the recording effect, Xin Hong held a hand-warming hot teacup to make soy sauce, and the staff walked around.

After watching it, the director commented: "The lines are well changed. Is this what you have thought about a long time ago, or is it a temporary play?"

Chen Shu scratched his head: "It's a temporary play, but I discussed it with Teacher Xin before."

Holding the teacup, Xin Hong smiled through the dense mist: "I didn't do anything, it was all on his own mind. It was the training class you asked him to attend, Director Huang, that played a role. That teacher taught a lot of things. few."

Director Huang also agrees: "That's right, Professor Xiang's student, a graduate student majoring in psychology, has a good academic level."

After the matter of changing the words was finished, Chen Shu was about to say goodbye and go back to the lounge to warm up for a while, Xin Hong walked with him.

Not far from the shooting location of Return to Zero, there is another Republic of China drama. The two crews share a rest area, and there are many people and noisy.

Xin Hong walked on the outside, vaguely intending to help Chen Shu fend off the crowd: "Where's your assistant?"

Chen Shu was also puzzled. When he opened WeChat, he saw that Xiao Peng had left a message for him—Brother, sister Lanlan is gone. I'll go find someone for her assistant, and I'll be right back.

Ding Lang is the heroine of the Republic of China drama next door. Because she is in a bad state recently, when she heard that Chen Shu joined the return to zero crew and was filming with her in the same place, she was so excited that she burst into tears as if seeing a relative.Chen Shu also ordered Xiao Pengchang to contact Assistant Ding Lan to take care of any situation.

"I asked him to do something." Chen Shu replied to Xin Hong, while bowing his head and replying to WeChat—has he been found?

[Peng Shuai]: Not yet, and no one answered the phone!

Chen Shu frowned.

There was a push from the crowd passing by in the aisle, and Chen Shu was pushed against the wall, holding a door, but who knew that the door was only ajar, and it would open with a push, Chen Shu was almost empty He fell down and was grabbed by Xin Hong: "Be careful!"

The people in the door looked at them.

Ding Lan was wearing a checkered cheongsam with straight breasts and a pair of stiletto heels that made it difficult for him to walk. A man pressed him firmly against the table where the props were placed. The buttons on his right chest were unbuttoned, revealing a large expanse of white skin.

When Chen Shu found her, Ding Lan was already crying in panic.
