Chapter 18: Masquerade
In a luxury hotel double suite, Russ lies on her side on the bed, looking at Zuston sleeping soundly on the bed opposite. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Two days ago, Lass asked Mu You to temporarily replace Zuston to take care of the two eldest ladies, so that he could bring Zuston over to accompany him.
But what Russ had seen in the past two days was like a living ghost, and Russ couldn't believe it.
It turned out that everything was just a conscious hype by her agency, and the truth was that Miss Nina had no intention of getting married at all.
To paraphrase Zuston: does it really have to be such hype as a love action actress?
What threats, what proposals, almost all of them are fake. Russ's only mission is to play the pervert...... What an embarrassment this makes.
For the past two days, Russ has been constantly disguised with Zuston, constantly playing different perverts or suitors, which is really more tiring than fighting Barres.
Looking at Zuston in his sleep, no matter how he was treated, he didn't complain, sometimes he really felt that his age was beyond the teenager in his eyes, but did it represent a comprehensive transcendence?
Is your life really ahead of this teenager?
People are born with their own meaning or value of existence, and all choices are fate.
Raising a family may only reflect the existence of value, but can value and meaning really not coexist in this world?
Being able to let go of everything is the only way to be able to transcend everything, Russ really doesn't understand, and even less understands, but Russ has already chosen.
Russ smiled wryly, took out her phone and swiped it casually, then closed her eyes.
Nina had forgotten how long it had been since no one had called her by her original name. Walking on the rooftop of the hotel, Nina likes to be alone and think in the night.
However, the company's arrangement is not chosen by Nina herself, not the constraints of a contract, although to a certain extent, money does form some problems, but it is more the ideal to Nina herself.
Nina's original intention to join the company was indeed because this was the fastest way, with a good face and figure, and a very good temperament, there was nothing faster than this.
It's just that it's really not easy to put on the clothes that have been taken off one by one.
3 years ago, I did say that I planned to get married, and it was out of my will. However, what can the company say about it as a hype now?
Nina walked to the edge of the guardrail and put her hand on the guardrail, thinking about it, Nina didn't even know what her expression was like at this time. Is it a wry smile? Or sadness?
"Sometimes, reality and ideals really can't coexist." Nina muttered to herself.
After a few relationships, Nina realized that as long as she is still active in the public eye, even if she is already wearing fashion or antique decorations to play a role, her past will still be in the first consideration of others.
Perhaps, there are countless men who are willing to get to know themselves, but how many men are willing to go through the long road of life with them?
"You're the perfect lover for a lot of men." A slightly immature male voice came into Nina's ears.
Following the direction from which the voice came, the young man's hand was almost not far from the guardrail, and he walked towards him step by step.
The first thing that catches your eye is the young man's red cloak, as well as the delicate facial features on the standard melon seed face that make women jealous: "It's just that you can only exist as a lover, which makes you feel very uncomfortable." ā
The boy spoke softly in a deep voice, and there was a feeling that he had spoken into the hearts of people.
"You ......" Nina recognized the face, which was one of the two people who were invited by the company to play the pervert, and it was also a bodyguard.
"Me? Impelt Zuston, whatever you want to call it. Zuston pointed to himself and smiled.
"It's a bit cold in this place, and the hotel doesn't have some less eye-catching colors, which is really speechless." Zuston explained with a smile as he noticed Nina's eyes fixed on her red cape.
"Oh." Nina put on a cold and unapproachable appearance on weekdays, and casually answered even if she was leaving.
"You really want someone to keep you company." After passing by Zuston and walking a few steps, Zuston's voice came again: "In the past two days, I have not only played the perverted star chaser, but also played the suitor, I can see from your expression that you really hope that someone who accompanies you can accept your profession and give you support." ā
"You think you already know me well?" Nina didn't turn around and said coldly.
"It's just that there is not only one continent, but in seven continents, there are hundreds of millions of men who are fantasizing about sleeping with you, and ordinary men really can't resist this kind of psychological pressure that they add to themselves." Zuston didn't answer Nina's question, but said to himself.
"There are many actresses like you who can be happy in history, however, almost all of them have their own marriages after leaving people's eyes. However, whether it is happy or not, it is unknown. Zuston turned and looked at Nina's back.
Zuston's words entered Nina's heart, and Nina knew very well that what the young man said was exactly what she thought in her heart, and Nina didn't even know what else she could answer.
"In contrast, the really fortunate ones were back in a time when we didn't have the full network yet, and although we were able to spread it, it wasn't as convenient as it is now." Zuston didn't let him say anything, and said directly: "You live in an era where it's easy to accumulate fame, but you also live in an era of impatience, and if you don't appear in the public eye for a while, it's easy to lose your value, so even if you want to transform now, you have to use a lot of hype to maintain your fame, right?" Suddenly, Zuston changed his words and said, "Come, Xiaobai, come down." ā
Without a preface, Nina turned around and saw a small white dragon hovering from the sky and flying down, stopping firmly on Zuston's head and shrinking.
"This is my friend, named Xiaobai." Zuston explained with a smile as he looked into Nina's surprised eyes.
"That's not what I intended......" Nina was stunned when she saw the white dragon, and only remembered to explain something after coming back to her senses, but she regretted it as soon as she said it. A 'young lady' may not be as dirty as herself in people's hearts, as the best 'young lady', will others really understand if she justifies herself? Nina thought and smiled wryly.
"I believe it." Zuston didn't look at Nina's face, turned around, put his arm on the guardrail, looked at the night sky and said softly: "Don't care about your own identity, whether it's you or someone else, you have the right to speak for yourself." ā
The scene fell silent, and Zuston didn't mean to speak, just waited quietly. In fact, Zuston himself did not understand whether he was doing the right thing, and a sense of guilt for forcibly instilling his mind haunted Zuston.
However, Nina didn't know what Zuston was thinking, and Nina slowly moved to Zuston's side, followed Zuston's example, and put her hand on the guardrail.
"I really want to, I really want people to recognize my strength, not relying on this way, wanting to be a real actor......" Nina whispered.
"Do you regret it?" Zuston thought for a moment and whispered.
"I don't know......" Nina muttered: "If I hadn't done this, maybe I wouldn't even have the opportunity to become an actor......" Nina really doesn't know what she really thinks, is she unwilling in her heart? Do you really not have the slightest regret in your heart? Nina couldn't understand herself at all.
"And what about you now?" Zuston said softly.
Nina didn't know why, obviously she could only be regarded as the first time she knew this teenager, however, there was a feeling in her heart that she seemed to have known each other for a long time, and there was a kind of trust from the heart.
"Now I realize that there is always some distance between reality and ideals, and everyone may be moving towards the ideal and want to move towards the ideal in the most ideal way." Nina looked up at the night sky and said slowly.
"What I want to ask is what you want to do now." Zuston laughed.
"Now?" Nina looked at Zuston's side face in surprise. After a while, he whispered, "I want to go play for a day......"
Zuston heard what Nina didn't say, looked at Nina and smiled, "Have you heard of 'ironyoffate'?" ā
"An urban legend of the Continent of Light? I've heard about it. Nina didn't understand what Zuston meant.
"As long as you have any wishes, as long as it is possible, you can try to entrust 'ironyoffate' to help you achieve it, do you believe it?" Zuston smiled as he stretched out his right hand and teased the white dragon on his head.
"Yes...... reason told Nina that it was impossible, but for some reason, from the mouth of the young man in front of him, the young man's sincere and gentle gaze made Nina suspicious.
"Give it a try." Zuston smiled, Nina had never seen anyone smile so beautifully, even more so than the smile of a stunningly beautiful woman.
"But...... Continent of Light...... It's too far away......" Nina was willing to believe what the boy said, but the distance of reality was still not a problem to be ignored.
"Do you want to delegate?" Zuston didn't wait for Nina to finish and asked.
"I ......" looked at Zuston, Nina took a step back, I don't know why, obviously Zuston was not aggressive, but there was an aura or a feeling, something that Nina couldn't say.
"I want to ......" Nina nodded, then lowered her head and whispered.
"That's enough." Zuston smiled and said, "I, Impelt Zuston, on behalf of 'ironyoffate', accept your commission. ā
