Chef God who doesn't want to be an actor is not a good idol

The fireworks outside the window were gorgeous, Du Ruo clenched her phone tightly, her ears were burning hot unconsciously, as if she could clearly hear the sound of her heart beating——

Plop, plop...

He no longer knew how many times he had spent the New Year alone, but when he heard the "Happy New Year", he felt his heart beating abnormally.

This feeling is very strange, as if there is warmth spreading from the bottom of my heart along the limbs, so warm that the corners of my mouth can't help but twitch slightly.

"Happy New Year."

After replying this sentence, the two fell silent for a while, only the sound of fireworks continued to come.

Du Ruo rubbed his nose and raised the topic: "Are you setting off fireworks too?" He could hear the faint voice coming from the opposite side.

"Well," there was a sound from Wen Qi's side, like the sound of people walking, "wait a minute...shall I hang up the phone first and change to a video call?"

"En." Du Ruo replied for some reason, her cheeks burning a little.

The other side hung up the phone, and within three seconds, the video call came over.

When Du Ruo connected to the video call, he saw the person on the opposite side leaning on the edge of the balcony.

In the warm yellow light of the balcony, the stern and tall man smiled at the camera, as if the ice and snow melted in an instant, and behind him, fireworks exploded in the night sky.

Du Ruo and Wen Qi finished watching the fireworks with such a special way of companionship across the phone screen.

"I want to watch fireworks with you every year in the future."

Wen Qi looked at Du Ruo with softness in his eyes.

"Du Ruo, I..." I like you.

The last two words were covered under the sudden sound of fireworks.

But Du Ruo heard it clearly.

Wen Qi looked at the expression on Du Ruo's face, and opened his mouth, but he didn't know where his courage was thrown.

There was the sound of fireworks exploding behind him, and Wen Qi's back trembled slightly. He stared at Du Ruo without blinking, and even his breathing eased and slowed down.

All his courage and decisiveness seemed to be contained in the sentence just now.

Now, he is like a prisoner awaiting trial.

On the other hand, the "judge" Du Ruo stared at Wen Qi, he pursed his lips, but the smile couldn't stop flowing from the corner of his mouth, "Every year?"

Looking at the crooked smile on the face of the person on the other side of the screen, Wen Qi smiled lightly: "Well, every year."

"Happy New Years every year."

Wen Qi didn't ask Du Ruo if he heard the second half of the sentence, and Du Ruo didn't explain it clearly.

But after the promise of "every year" was said, there seemed to be an unspeakable ambiguity lingering between Du Ruo and Wen Qi.

After finishing the video call, Du Ruo covered his face and threw himself back onto the sofa.

The fireworks outside the window had already returned to silence, but the beating sound of the heart was still knocking on Du Ruo's ears, causing his ears to turn red.

At this time, Du Ruo, who remembered something, opened the Starlight Network, and a new notification sound that paid special attention to people popped out.

【Qiqi: I confessed my love to the person I like today... Although it seems that the other party didn't hear it, I still promised a happy new year every year after that (firework.JPG)】

Du Ruo looked at the completely unencoded picture of fireworks, which was exactly the same as the background in the video call just now. She couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth and tap her finger on the screen.

[DR: I received a confession today, and promised a happy new year every year after that (laughs. JPG)]

After sending out this message, Du Ruo watched the starlight feed posted by "Qi Qi" several times, then put down the phone with a chuckle, and silently made mouth gestures to the air——

good night.

***

Plans can't keep up with changes.

Originally, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day were supposed to be rare time for Du Ruo to rest at home, but after receiving the news, let alone Du Ruo, even his manager and assistant rushed back.

At noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Du Ruo drove to the Phoenix Film and Television Base in a low-key manner.

What is being prepared here is the Republic of China movie directed by Ji Heping. This movie has been in preparation for a long time. It took a long time to plan from polishing the script to finalizing the details.When everything was ready, in the end, some actors went wrong.

If the actor who was exposed to the scandal about the relationship between men and women is placed in another crew, there may be room for discussion.

But for director Ji Heping, the actor's personal scandal definitely broke his red line, so much so that he terminated the contract with the actor without any discussion.

And for the crew who were already ready to start, this one is simply a disaster.The venue has already been rented, and the equipment and personnel are all in place. As a result, because of such a sudden and explosive lace scandal, one actor was absent and the entire crew was suspended.For a film crew like this, every day of delay is just pouring money into it to fill holes.

For director Ji Heping, the most important thing now is how to find a suitable actor to fill that position.

Because the reason for the temporary replacement is really not easy to spread to the outside world, Director Ji Heping also contacted his close friends in private.

The one who recommended Du Ruo was Ji Hetong, director of "People on the Way to Eat", and he is also the younger brother of director Ji Heping.

But director Ji Heping was able to let go of his agreement because Du Ruo had just won the Oaks Best Actor.

Just like that, due to the urgent request from the crew, Du Ruo went through the script on the road, and carefully underlined the words of the character he was about to audition with a highlighter, and the car had already arrived at the Phoenix Film and Television Base.

The role that Du Ruo wanted to audition for was the second male lead in the film, so the role was unimportant.In the script, the male lead even has more roles than the female lead.

When Du Ruo got out of the car, he quickly followed the crew into the dressing room. Without even a word of pleasantries, the makeup artist began to greet Du Ruo's face. A group of people surrounded Du Ruo to shorten the time needed for the costume change as soon as possible.

When the door of the changing room was opened, a pair of well-knit hands held the door, and the person behind the door suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The black military uniform slid down neatly along the man's tall and straight body line. The black collar made the man's skin whiter. The light came down from the top, leaving a layer of light and shadow on the dark clothes.

The military uniform that was tightly buttoned to the top collar and wrapped the body tightly added a sense of abstinence to the man.

The expression on the man's face was indifferent and reserved. When he raised his hand and silently adjusted his cuffs, everyone in the dressing room unconsciously held their breath.

Even the makeup artist who put on Du Ruo's makeup just now had his eyes widened.

And when Du Ruo tidied up his sleeves and raised his eyes to scan the room, in an instant, it seemed as if the male number two had walked out of the script alive!

It wasn't until Du Ruo walked out of the dressing room that the people who stayed inside finally started to speak.

"Oh my god, the aura just now was too strong!"

"That is to say, when he glanced over, I froze for some reason and didn't dare to move..."

"As expected of the newly-promoted Oakes actor."

"This time Director Ji may have really found the right person..."

Du Ruo, who walked out of the dressing room, was unaware of the voices of discussion left behind by him, and when Du Ruo stepped into the set, everyone's eyes, including Director Ji Heping, could not stop falling on Du Ruo.
