Play bone

From this day on, Lu Li began to cook breakfast differently.

Shen Xingxuan was not picky about his meals, and would only offer a few suggestions when Lu Li took the initiative to ask.Lu Li corrected accordingly, and asked his mother for advice when he returned home, so his skills improved quite quickly.

According to the pre-customized fitness plan, Shen Xing chooses to eat only energy meals every Tuesday and Thursday morning. To put it bluntly, it is a bunch of tasteless artificial nutritional supplements.

Today happened to be Tuesday, Lu Li got up a little late, washed up in a hurry, picked up a bag of instant noodles and rushed to the hotel.

After preparing an energy meal for Shen Xing, he hid in the kitchen alone and cooked instant noodles and egg yolks that Shen Xing chose not to eat.While eating happily, he suddenly felt a cold gaze from behind.

Turning around, I saw Shen Xingxuan leaning against the door frame with half an egg white in his hand.

"Sister Anna won't let you eat junk food."

"..."

Shen Xingxuan's silence is another way of giving orders, which is sometimes more effective than Xu Rulin's bossy orders.The next morning, there was a large bag of instant noodles in the corner of the kitchen. In the morning when Sister Anna was away, there would always be a charming aroma of beef noodles in the kitchen.

Shen Xingze seems to have an obsession with instant noodles, even if he eats it every morning, he won't get bored.On the contrary, Lu Lili became uneasy, and always added various fresh ingredients to the noodles in different ways, but it was not an option to continue like this.

Finally one day, he deliberately let sister Anna discover the packaging bag of instant noodles.The woman immediately reprimanded Shen Xingxuan in front of him, and at the same time revoked her qualification as an imperial cook, and the instant noodle turmoil finally stopped.

Soon it will be June 26th, at [-]:[-] pm, the college entrance examination scores will be open for inquiry.

This day happened to be a night train in the group, and we had to shoot until two or three o'clock in the morning.At about ten o'clock, Lu Li was helping Shen Xing choose the right lines, when he suddenly received a call from home, saying that the results of the college entrance examination had been checked, and that he performed super-level, and it was unreasonable for China Film to fail.

The second shoe finally hit the ground.Only then did Lu Li realize that he was still a little apprehensive.But all the hard work and insecurity are worth it, and the best future is slowly unfolding in front of him.

"The literature test is done! I'm going to China Film Academy!"

Putting away his phone, Lu Li immediately shared the good news with the only person around him.However, Shen Xingze responded with a confused expression.

"Is it more exciting than being second in major?"

"Must. The meaning of a staged victory is completely different from a big victory."

Perhaps persuaded by Lu Li's rare bright smile, Shen Xing chose not to question this joy any longer.With the help of the incandescent light hanging from the top of his head, he looked at Lu Li's young side face, and finally some doubts could not help fermenting in his heart.

"Can you answer a question for me?"

"what?"

"Why did you choose Ying?"

Why?Lu Li was taken aback.

He knew that this was an instinctive choice deep in his heart, but facing Shen Xingxuan and others, he really needed a more reasonable answer.

"...Maybe it's because my family is relatively poor. If you want to enter the film and television industry, it is absolutely impossible to have no connections and knowledge. Although many people now think that majors are meaningless, but I think that the teachers and classmates I met in college, And their social relationship is actually a huge wealth...Of course, I don't want to use others, it's easier to do things if I have more friends."

Shen Xingze nodded to express his understanding, and then asked the real question.

"With your qualifications, isn't four years of actual combat more valuable than four years of university theory? If you are short of money, you can consider starting a business. My team can package you."

The light from above cast heavy shadows on his deeply chiseled face, and his eyelashes were shaded by white lashes.

The corners of Lu Li's brows twitched slightly, his expression didn't change, but a handful of black dust seemed to rise deep in his heart.

It sounds tempting, but maybe it's just a routine.

The time has not been long enough for him to forget the past and forget that Shen Xingxuan is the king of carnivores on the spider web.

In the past, Shen Xing chose to hold Lu Li's 20-year prostitution contract and hide behind the scenes, ruining his chances to succeed again and again.Now, Shen Xingze can also capture anyone who is interested and put it into his entertainment laboratory.

As long as he is interested.

People who have been hurt are always more sensitive.In places where the lights couldn't reach, Lu Li could feel the darkness rapidly seeping into his heart.

"Could it be that brother Shen also thinks...the four years of studying in China Film Group are meaningless?"

Although the tone was half-joking, he felt that the tone was a bit heavy when he said it.

The darkness blurred Shen Xingxuan's expression.Just when Lu Li thought he would not respond again, it was as if the night wind blew a sleepy voice.

"Not everyone has the luck I have to meet the right person at the right time."

"..."

Lu Xin's head trembled slightly, and then a kind of heat began to spread from the ears to his face.

The black ice in his heart began to gradually melt again, how could he not be familiar with this feeling - since a long time ago, his heart has been repeatedly frozen and thawed like this, sometimes gnashing his teeth, sometimes blushing and heartbeating.

There is no cure, nothing to do.

Not far away, the assistant director has already started calling the actors for the next scene.Shen Xing chose to put down the script and walked towards the place with the brightest lights.

After two or three steps, Lu Li's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"I'm confident and my luck is not bad."

Shen Xingxuan's footsteps stopped slightly because of these words, and then returned to normal.

"...Then go to school well."

------------------

On the auspicious day three weeks later, the crew completed the shooting of the last set of shots.At three o'clock in the afternoon, with the general director's "killing", the scene boiled instantly.

Tired of eating in the hotel's restaurants, the much-anticipated wrap-up banquet can't be fooled casually.The crew directly booked a hot pot restaurant outside the film studio, and all the ingredients were served openly in a self-service manner.

Without all kinds of concerns and restrictions at work, coupled with several months of fighting side by side, we have cultivated feelings.In this scene, from the director and producer to the driver's field, everyone ate and drank to their fullest.

Even the actors who had many taboos on weekdays and were afraid of getting acne and allergies on their faces rarely indulged. All of them were flushed, and they were more lively than usual.

Shen Xingze's leading actors all sat in the box with the director and producer.Lu Li sat at the round table in the lobby with other actors' assistants.

They are all errand runners. Although they are their own masters, after this period of time, they have a little friendship with each other.At the moment, they are even more busy keeping communication methods with each other, and seeing if there is any opportunity for job-hopping or cooperation in the future.

I don't know if it was intentional, but when arranging seats, Lu Li happened to be sitting with Assistant Chen.The two looked at each other, not knowing who was the first to smile wryly.

"I'm planning to resign." Assistant Chen cut straight to the point, "Fuck Xu Rulin, I won't serve you anymore."

"Actually, you can try to complain to the company about him." Lu Li suggested to him based on his previous experience, "You were hired by the company, not an assistant he paid for."

"It's useless. Assistants with two legs are easy to find, but celebrities who can brush their faces are hard to find."

Assistant Chen shook his head and drank the wine in the glass in one breath: "Who is loved by parents, why should I serve him?"

As he spoke, he suddenly reached out and patted Lu Li's chest.

"Brother, tell me... how about I treat you normally?"

"Okay." Lu Li nodded politely, but felt that he was trying to trick him.

The alcohol-smelling Assistant Chen lowered his voice: "Can you...help me talk to Shen Xingze and see if he still lacks assistant jobs, or publicity is fine. I can do it all good!"

Sure enough, this is still the case.

He looked at the eyes full of hope under the lens, and couldn't bear to refuse; so he agreed first, but he was thinking about something else.

High salary, high benefits, and not low status in the circle - how many people are proud of being able to join Shen Xingze's team.The newcomers signed by Xingxuan Studio became popular one after another.And even if you can't get into the most core star choice studio, being able to sign a contract with the contract spotlight company to which it belongs is something worth showing off.But few people know that this company used to sign a 20-year contract to tie up its actors.

Lu Li suddenly felt like a monster with a mantis arm and a cart, a fool swimming against the current.He lowered his head and looked at his reflection in the wine glass.

Although the appearance has completely changed, the inner, stubborn self remains unchanged.

He and Shen Xingze are two seeds of the same species.And one big tree cannot grow forever in the shade of another.

------------

The delightful and satisfying wrap-up banquet lasted until midnight before ending one after another.The small town is not big at all, and the drunken people strolled in the middle of the empty street, walked back to their temporary residences on foot, and waved goodbye.

Considering that there might be paparazzi following him, Shen Xing chose to still take the car.He seemed to have drunk a lot too, as long as he got close to him, he could smell the strong smell of alcohol, and he was more taciturn than usual.

Back at the hotel, Lu Li asked the yawning sister Anna to rest first, and sent Shen Xingxuan upstairs alone.According to the contract, today is also his last day as a life assistant.

Arrived on the eleventh floor, he walked forward on the silent plush carpet.Behind him were Shen Xingze's slightly heavy footsteps and breathing.

The man wasn't drunk enough to need someone to help him, Lu Li even began to suspect that there was no need for him to send him all the way to the suite.

But he still walked to the door and opened the key card.

When he turned on the light, Shen Xingze had already sat on the sofa in the living room, and groped with one hand to find out the hidden cigarettes and lighter from under the sofa cushion.

Lu Li heard the movement and turned his head to look over. After thinking about it, he finally couldn't hold back——

"Brother Shen, you should smoke less in the future. Little girls don't like this anymore."

"...But I like it."

Shen Xingze made a short and vague voice.Perhaps the peaceful environment stimulated the effect of alcohol. He half-slumped on the sofa, staring blankly at the smoke rings he exhaled, then moved his body a little, and took out a red envelope from the coat pocket under him.

"this is for you."

Lu Li knew that this was an international practice, so he didn't refuse.I stretched out my hand to take it and weighed it. It was quite thick, and I guess it could have a number of four digits.

He hurriedly thanked Shen Xingxuan, paused, and suddenly made a request that was far-fetched.

"We'll meet again later, can I call you Senior Brother?"

Shen Xingze frowned as if he just remembered that he had been admitted to China Film Academy.At this moment, with the help of alcohol, some words that he would never say on weekdays seem to be able to be easily uttered.

"Whatever you want. As long as you're not afraid of being accused of hugging your thighs and touching porcelain...be careful yourself, it's not just paparazzi journalists who cannibalize people these days."

"That's true."

When he complained, Lu Li didn't give in. "Some idiot fans are really amazing. They want to lock their idols on a high tower. They really want you to be a lonely family for the rest of their lives. And then, they are One by one got married, lost fans, and even turned around and laughed at your boss for not even having a partner, and being worse than ordinary people."

Perhaps it was because Lu Li's speech was too fast, Shen Xingze couldn't help rubbing his temples with his fingers holding the cigarette.

"You are very much like a friend of mine..." He seemed to have forgotten that he had said the same thing a long time ago, "You are just as mean."

"There is only one family, no semicolons."

Lu Li's response was as soft as a whisper.And this is the greatest honesty he can make so far.

It's getting late, and my mother must still be waiting at home.He took some kitchen utensils from the kitchen, and finally said goodbye to Shen Xing.

"Thank you for the big red envelope, senior brother. If you have time to go back to school in the future, come and play with me."

Shen Xingze didn't answer, because at some point he had closed his eyes, and just fell asleep on the sofa.

After all, Lu Li couldn't rest assured, walked over and gently pulled out the unburned cigarette butt from his hand, paused, and brought it to his mouth in a strange way.

The night-staying partner who should have been extremely familiar, but at this moment encountered stubborn rejection from the new body.Lu Li suppressed the sound of his cough, and extinguished the remaining smoke in the ashtray.

After changing to a new body, things that were used to, relied on, and even deeply loved in the past will inevitably become unfamiliar again.Small things like smoking may be learned slowly; but some more important and precious things, if you miss them, you may miss them forever.

Lu Li silently smiled wryly, and conveniently covered Shen Xing with a thin coat.

Goodbye, Shen Xingxuan, I hope you can dream of the person you want to see.

The door of the guest room was gently opened and closed, and the carpet absorbed the sound of footsteps, leaving no trace of those who left.

Shen Xingze pulled the coat on his body and opened his eyes.
