double duty

"if--"

"I want you to do a retrospective?"

The moment he heard these words, there was a sound of "Boom--", the strings in Gu Zhi's mind broke.

Blank.

He stared at Shang Yizhou in a daze, his fingers trembling uncontrollably.

Shang Yizhou didn't urge him, and the smile that was always on his lips was always on, like a very patient hunter, waiting for his prey to be caught.

"...I don't understand." Gu Zhi wanted to laugh but couldn't, his whole face seemed to be crying or not, laughing or not, it was very funny, he took out a cigarette with shaking hands, and pressed the lighter several times , was finally lit.

Nicotine is the best thing to calm the mood, even in this kind of time, the effect is still excellent.

Gu Zhi's blank brain became a little more colorful, he exhaled a puff of smoke, and his eyes drooped unconsciously: "Brother, stop joking."

He is no longer Xiaoqiu, can he still stay by Shang Yizhen's side?

This joke is not funny.

He was nearly suffocating.

Shang Yizhou suppressed his smile and stared at him for a while.

Gu Zhi's reaction was unexpected, but it seemed reasonable.

He should have guessed, but—

Somewhat uncomfortable.

The chest was stuffy, as if stuffed with cotton, and it was difficult to breathe smoothly.

After a while, he hummed, went to bed and hugged Gu Zhi's waist, snatched the cigarette from his fingertips, and crushed it in the ashtray.

"Just think I'm joking," he pulled the soft quilt over their stomachs, kissed Gu Zhi's temples, "go to sleep."

Gu Zhi was stiff like a marionette.

This sentence did not make him feel better.

A sharp knife and ax was still hanging high above his head, and it would fall down at some point, splitting him to pieces.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Zhi slowly opened his eyes, and he could easily see Shang Yizhou's face in the sleeping position facing each other.

Well-shaped eyebrows, a tall and straight nose bridge, and lips with a natural smile when they don't smile.

Shang Yizhen looks really good-looking, the best-looking Gu Zhi has seen in these years, especially when he smiles lightly, it is like the sunshine in April and May, making people feel warm and comfortable, wishing to drown in it in his tenderness.

But it is obviously this tender and affectionate skin, but in his bones, he is full of ruthlessness and ungratefulness, if he says no, he will no longer.

"Brother." Gu Zhi whispered.

Shang Yizhou closed his eyes, sleeping very well, he didn't move at all, it seemed that he was really fast asleep.

Gu Zhi became more courageous, no longer satisfied with his eyes, and stretched out his hand gently, from his forehead, to his eyebrows, to the bridge of his nose, and finally to his lips.

The soft touch danced on his fingertips, and after rubbing it a few times, he pressed it gently.

The action is piety and nostalgia.

Perhaps it was Shang Yizhou's words today that stimulated him, causing him to have fantasies involuntarily.

if--

If he really can't be Xiaoqiu, then will he have a chance to make Shang Yizhou fall in love with a person named Gu Zhi?

Gu Zhi's voice was extremely low, as if talking in a dream.

"If I really don't want to be Xiaoqiu."

"Can you try to like Gu Zhi?"

"Just go down."

-

Wake up the next day.

Shang Yizhen had already left, and the place halfway from the bed was cold. After he was fully dressed, he also left the hotel.

On the way to the studio, I checked my schedule by the way.

The studio is in a well-known building in Lincheng. Gu Zhi pressed the up button of the elevator familiarly, holding Chen Zhufa in his hand, and Xu's wife printed the script.

The corners of the script are curled, but the paper is clean and clear without any dirt. It can be seen that the script has been read countless times, but the owner of the script is still working hard to cherish it.

He attaches great importance to this drama, partly because of Shang Yizhou, partly because of Zhou Fengkang, and partly because of selfishness. The male second in the play seems to be another facet of his life.

The tentative title of the script is [Light and Shadow]. The light refers to the male protagonist Shen Jiguang, and the shadow refers to the male lead Qin Gu.

Shen Jiguang's family is superior, and his parents are harmonious. He grew up surrounded by flowers and applause. Before he was 20 years old, the biggest setback he encountered was that the girl he had a crush on rejected him.

And Qin Gu is the antonym of Shen Jiguang. His father died, his mother remarried and was subjected to domestic violence all the year round. Because of his sexual orientation, he was forced to drop out of school and became a gangster wandering on the street.

In an accident, Shen Jiguang met Qin Gu, and the two completely different lives began to overlap.

There is no heroine in the whole story, and the woman who appeared the most is Qin Gu's mother who was abused by the family.

The crisp sound of "ding" is the elevator's reminder that the floor has arrived.

Gu Zhi put away his sunglasses and stuck them on his collar.

"Brother Gu, good morning~" There was a girl in her early twenties at the front desk, with two dimples on her lips, she smiled sweetly and cutely.

"Morning, Xiao Chu." Gu Zhi pulled off his mask and smiled softly at Xiao Chu.

Early in the morning, who could withstand the impact of Gu Zhi's beauty, Xiao Chu blushed, and said quickly and shyly, "Sister Lian asked you to come, go directly to the conference room to find her."

Lian Lian, his manager, has a domineering name, but in fact he is gentle and has no temper.

"Okay, thank you."

In the entire studio, there are no more than ten people in total, and he is the only artist under his name. Every time he comes, it's like going home.

Gu Zhi knocked lightly on the glass door of the conference room, and there was a figure inside, lying down indistinctly writing something, and when he heard the sound, he raised his head slowly.

"Come in." The voice was also slow.

Gu Zhi closed the door, sat on the other side of the desk, "Sister Lian."

Lian Lian lifted up the dropped glasses, went straight to the point, and asked in a warm voice, "There is an online game that I want to ask you to endorse, are you interested?"

Logically speaking, except for big stars, managers don't need to ask artists what they think about things like endorsement at work, but Gu Zhi is different, the entire studio is only run for him.

He was an artist, but more like a boss. Although there was someone else behind the scenes, Lian Lian had never met him.

She was originally just a small manager of Huale Tianji, but one day, someone poached her and hired her to be Gu Zhi's manager. She was offered the salary of a second-tier manager, but what she needed to do was only the second-tier manager's job. one tenth.

Not only that, but Gu Zhi's temper is rare, and he is a thousand times stronger than those little Internet celebrities she brought before.

This kind of beautiful job, Lian Yuan always felt that it must be her ancestral grave that smoked, so she begged for it.

Gu Zhi: "Which one?"

"Sword Fairy Love." Lian Lian handed the information to Gu Zhi. "They are in a stable development period, the scale is not large, but the market is not bad, and the endorsement fee is not low."

Gu Zhi turned a few pages, "Why do you want to find me?" He had also accepted some small endorsements before, but none of them could be compared with the game.

"Hmm..." Lian Lian habitually raised her glasses again, "Pretty."

Gu Zhi was taken aback, "Huh?"

Lian Lian: "The reason they chose you is because you are beautiful."

"... What a stupid reason." Gu Zhi frowned speechlessly, "Go on, it's a fool not to earn money."

He exhorted, "But as soon as possible."

If he passed the audition, after joining the group, he would definitely not have the time to spare to shoot endorsement commercials.

Lian Lian: "OK."
