27. Bar
"It's a meeting. Li Man knocked on the door, and Tong Yu was still wearing casual loungewear, with a clip pinned to his head, playing with his mobile phone with his face facing the sky.
"......" Tong Yu was stunned, put down his mobile phone and ran into the bathroom.
"What are you doing?" Li Man leaned against the door of the bathroom, looking at Tong Yu who was fixing his hair in the mirror, "People are waiting downstairs." β
"Then wait a little longer. Tong Yu grabbed his hairstyle unhurriedly, looked in the mirror, thought about it for a while, made a foundation, and applied a lip balm, before nodding slowly and following Li Man downstairs.
"Teacher Tong. Probably waited for a long time, as soon as he saw Tong Yu and Li Man coming out, director Liu Chang quickly got up and said hello, stretched out his hand to shake hands, Tong Yu didn't know what he was looking for in the crowd as if he didn't see it, Li Man crossed Tong Yu and held Liu Chang's hand.
Director Liu has been waiting for a long time. Li Man pulled Tong Yu to sit on the sofa, knowing what he was looking for without asking.
"Director Liu. Ai Xin walked over from a short distance, and didn't know what to say, so he sat at the very edge of the crowd and secretly glanced at Tong Yu.
"Let's get started. Tong Yu lowered his hair and made a WeChat message, looked at Li Man again, and signaled that he could start.
"Where did you run away again?" Ai Xin looked at his phone, it was Tong Yu's WeChat.
"Went for a drink. β
"Why do you have to take care of such a thing? β
"I'm afraid you don't like what they order. β
"Flutter. Tong Yu looked at his phone and couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Huh?" Liu Chang, who was halfway through speaking, looked at Tong Yu and looked at Li Man with a puzzled expression.
"It's okay, Tong Yu likes this schedule very much. Li Man explained with a serious face.
"Well, then what?" Tong Yu nodded, and also looked at Director Liu with an expectant expression.
"After breakfast on Grafton Street, you'll meet a street artist on the way, and you'll play a song with him afterwards. At noon, you will experience a made-to-order lunch at the Michelin-starred restaurant Patrick Guilbaud, where you will learn about pastry and take photos with the chef. In the evening, you'll experience the city's bars with your guide and visit the buildings with spooky elements. This place is a place where our staff will be very scared in order to make an effect, and you will need to show a lot of composure and solve the puzzles to get out. After Liu Chang introduced the schedule of the first day, he looked at Li Man.
"This place...... How terrifying is it?" asked Li Man after a moment's hesitation.
"It's not high, it's like a normal haunted house. The little assistant next to Director Liu was the first to speak, looking very excited, probably the film crew had already experienced it in advance.
"Who is the escort?" Tong Yu suddenly spoke.
"We have a tentative tour guide, but if it doesn't work out well, we may change the staff and come back again. β
"Please accompany you. Li Man glanced at Tong Yu obliquely, immediately understood the meaning of his question, and looked at Director Liu, "After all, I have more contact with Tong Yu and am more familiar." β
"Oh?" Director Liu was stunned and looked at Li Man with some doubts, "Teacher Yitong is a girl, and fans may react more after the broadcast." β
"This is controversial, the girl is crying and making trouble next to her, Tong Yu stepped forward to comfort her, this is also what fans want to see. Li Man smiled, "If you're worried, it's good not to show the face of the art teacher." β
"This ......" Director Liu hesitated, it doesn't really mean much to who accompanies him, as long as he can perform, he is also worried that he will not be able to act with Tong Yu, who is not familiar with him, seeing that Li Man is so persistent, it is not impossible to be a favor. Director Liu turned his head to look at Ai Xin: "Teacher Ai, can you?"
"......" Ai Xin has been listening to the side, she is not unaware of Li Man's kindness, but the haunted house is really ...... for herself
"What's wrong?" Tong Yu said slowly, but his eyes were looking at Liu Chang.
"It's okay, it's okay, I can. Ai Xin nodded hurriedly, she still remembered her promise before joining the group, she didn't need to be paid or put her name on the show, and she would obey all the arrangements of the program team to the greatest extent and would not affect any filming of the program team. What's more, this was proposed by Tong Yu.
"Well, I gave the specific notice to Sister Man, Teacher Tong, you can take a look at it when you have time. We will explain the next day's announcement to you in detail when we had a meeting the day before, do you have any questions?" Liu Chang handed a stack of materials to Li Man, and looked at Tong Yu again.
"Hmm...... Where do you live?" Tong Yu looked at Liu Chang.
Liu Chang didn't expect this question, and the few assistants next to him were also stunned, not knowing the meaning of Tong Yu's words.
"We stayed nearby, five minutes by car. Liu Chang recalled seriously, today's dinner and meeting were very punctual, could it be that Tong Yu was not arranged well?
"Then send us there tomorrow. Tong Yu nodded, "I want to live with the film crew, so that it is easy to communicate if there are any problems." β
When have you communicated with us?!Liu Chang silently spit out, and felt that it was still inappropriate: "Teacher Tong, the conditions of the place where we live are not so good, and it may not be enough for you to live in the standard ......."
"It's okay, work first. Tong Yu stood up after speaking, regardless of Liu Chang's response, and went directly into the elevator.
"That's hard work. Li Man also stood up, shook hands with Liu Chang, and took Ah Wei to the elevator.
"Sister Man......" Ah Wei looked at her with a resentful expression, "Can you only enjoy this hotel for one night?"
"Tong Yu has his own arrangements. Li Man reprimanded, but he knew it very well in his heart, and couldn't help but bow his head and laugh.
"This, what kind of moth is this?" The assistant beside Liu Chang obviously hadn't reacted yet.
"Forget it, isn't this saving us money?" the little assistant was quite happy.
"What do you know?!" Liu Chang looked back at them in displeasure, "It's probably because we didn't take good care of it that we made such a strange request." Cheer up for the later shooting, don't leave people behind!"
"Yes!"
"Understood!" several people responded, only Ai Xin looked absent-minded. She looked at her phone, and sure enough, there was a new WeChat.
"From the lobby to the pool, there was a bar. β
"Half an hour. Ai Xin quickly replied, put away her mobile phone, and got into the car with the army and went back to the hotel.
After changing into a coat, touching up her makeup a little, and checking the carton in her bag, Ai Xin went out with her mobile phone and room card, and after seeing that it was still early, Ai Xin decided to walk over. The evening breeze was blowing her cheeks and hair, and her mood was too good to be described.
From a distance, she saw Tong Yu leaning against the edge of the bar, wearing a hat and sunglasses even though it was night, probably worried that the paparazzi would follow abroad. Ai Xin suddenly felt that time passed so quickly, she remembered the first time she saw Tong Yu on TV, when he was in his early twenties, with long black hair, thin cheeks were a little sunken, and the whole person looked thin and stubborn. Now Tong Yu has cut off his long hair, and he is a little fat, but he looks more pyrotechnic, more like a living man.
The man was now facing her, beckoning, and the corners of his mouth were silent smiles.
"So coincidentally?" Ai Xin sat next to him and greeted the waiter with a smile.
βLong Island Iced Tea.β
βMoscow mule.β Ai Xin laughed again after ordering, and looked at Tong Yu, "No more filming tomorrow?"
"Aren't you there?" Tong Yu took the wine and looked at Ai Xin with raised eyebrows.
"Yes. Ai Xin nodded, took a big sip from the wine glass, and instantly cooled a lot.
"Tell me about writing a novel. Tong Yu felt that now was a good opportunity to open up the conversation.
"When I used to go to school, I wrote and played, and there were probably more than a dozen people watching it at first, but I didn't think it would be remade, and then I wrote more, and more people watched it. Ai Xin took a sip of wine.
"I've read the script and it's very well written. Tong Yu knows that novels that can be adapted must have their own value. But in addition, he also has a sincere admiration for Ai Xin, he has always had a desire to study and go to school, but he did not go back to school after his work was free.
"It's not good, it's just a real feeling. Ai Xin shyly lowered her head and didn't look at Tong Yu, "It's all written based on you." β
"Thanks to you, I played it with ease. Tong Yu looked at Ai Xin, his heart was warm, there were even details in the script that he was left-handed, and he experienced the feeling of tailor-made for the first time.
"That's right. Ai Xin seemed to remember something, and took out a cardboard box from her bag and handed it to Tong Yu.
"What is it?" Tong Yu took off his sunglasses, looked at the carton, and couldn't help laughing again, "You have a very idle day?"
"What's the matter!" Ai Xin pouted, "It's a biscuit, you have to get up very early during the shooting, and I'm afraid you won't be used to eating this thing." β
"Hmm. Tong Yu put away the carton and put it in his arms, nodded, "Eat when you get up." β
"By the way, are you afraid of going to the haunted house tomorrow?" Tong Yu suddenly remembered that the two of them were going to the haunted house together tomorrow, so he asked casually.
β...... Unafraid. Ai Xin was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Are you afraid?"
"Of course I'm not afraid!" Tong Yu turned his head away and took a big sip of wine.
Ai Xin looked at Tong Yu, maybe because of the drink, it all became dreamy. A month ago, she could only silently watch Tong Yu sing at his birthday party, and the other party didn't even know her name. And now, the two of them are sitting face to face, drinking in a bar in a foreign country, chatting about the past, Ai Xin suddenly feels that so many years of hard work have not been in vain.
"You ......" Ai Xin said slowly, but did not continue.
"What's wrong?" Tong Yu turned his head to look at her.
"It's fine. Ai Xin smiled, suddenly feeling that there was no need to ask that question now.
Idiot. Tong Yu silently summed up in his heart, shook his head and smiled, and looked at Ai Xin again: "I always feel that it is very unreal now. β
"Why?" Ai Xin was shocked, and in a trance thought that Tong Yu had read his thoughts.
"I'm not ready to meet you. Tong Yu smiled, "So it seems like I can't do anything." β
"Hmm......" Ai thought for a moment, laughed again, and looked at Tong Yu.
Tong Yu frowned: "I told you everything, just say anything you want, don't keep snickering." β
"I just think it's nice that you don't have to do anything, just sit like you do now. Ai Xin lowered his head, thinking that if there really was a god in the world, then at this moment it must be that the god heard his prayer and gave him the reward of his years of wandering.
"Go back...... Tong Yu drank the wine in the cup, stood up and didn't look at Ai Xin.
"Good. Ai Xin nodded and stood up, but saw that Tong Yu's ears were red, probably because he was drinking too fast.
"Is it okay to go back by yourself?" Tong Yu glanced at Ai Xin.
"It was nice to go back for a walk, not very late. Ai Xin pointed to the biscuits in Tong Yu's arms, "Don't eat them at night, you will gain weight." β
"Yes. Tong Yu nodded, thought about it, and added, "See you tomorrow." β
"See you tomorrow!" Ai Xin smiled and raised his hand, turned around and walked out of the hotel door. These should be the three most beautiful words in the world, she thought.
"Why are you here?" As soon as Tong Yu walked to the elevator hall, he saw Li Man waiting for the elevator.
Li Man also seemed startled, but immediately regained his composure.
"I just came out to call. Li Man raised the mobile phone in his hand.
Liar, can't you call in the room...... Tong Yu was in a good mood, he was too lazy to demolish her, and entered the elevator with Li Man.
"Going to see Ai Xin?" Li Man glanced at the cardboard box in his hand, and saw him squinting and whistling, if it wasn't for the spring heart, probably no one would believe it.
"You care about me!" Tong Yu glanced at her and whistled out of the elevator.
Li Man shook his head, amused again. She still remembered that Tong Yu frowned and said, "There is no one who comes into contact with Ai Xin who doesn't like her", and now that she thinks about it, Tong Yu has counted herself in.
