Shen Qingzhao looked at Deputy Director Ma's expression and couldn't help but chuckle.

She took the initiative to change the subject: "The recording engineer is standing over there, I guess I'm waiting for you." ”

Deputy Director Ma glanced back, and his expression had returned to the competence he had when facing the staff just now: "Hey, it's true." ”

Shen Qingzhao smiled: "Then don't bother you first, I'll go." ”

Deputy Director Ma hurriedly responded: "Okay, you take this child around." ”

Deputy Director Ma was speechless for a while, and after thinking about it for a long time with his mouth open, he stammered out the title of "little friend".

Sounds a little funny.

"Okay," Shen Qingzhao smiled and nodded, "It's still the old rule, I go directly to the hotel front desk to get the room card directly?" ”

It is not the first time that Shen Qingzhao and Deputy Director Ma have cooperated, and she is very familiar with the style of the crew he leads. And because the scale of this set is relatively small, there is only one hotel around that can accommodate the entire crew, so there will be no mistakes.

"Hmm......" Deputy Director Ma may not have recovered from the embarrassment, subconsciously responded, shook his head violently, and flatly denied, "There are some formalities in the hotel room, and they haven't been decided yet." You should send your luggage to the front desk of the hotel first. ”

"Okay." Shen Qingzhao didn't think much about it, and responded casually.

"The other leading actors are almost all here, let's have a meal together at noon," Deputy Director Ma greeted, "If the location is set, I will send it to the group, remember to watch it." ”

Shen Qingzhao responded with a smile: "No problem, let's go." ”

Deputy Director Ma waved his hand, turned around and walked to the recording engineer, he should have continued to be busy.

The windows rise slowly, and the inky black glass blocks out the busy work scene outside.

Shen Qingzhao played the steering wheel, and while driving on the road, he introduced the scenery around to He Sibai;

"This is a newly developed suburb in recent years, and many people come here on weekends for camping. But now it's winter, and there are a lot fewer people coming on vacation. ”

"The express hotel in front of us is where we want to stay. There are convenience stores around, as well as some restaurants...... Further on, there is a hill with a hot spring inn and a small park. If you have the habit of exercising in the morning, you can go for a run in the mountains in the morning. ”

He Sibai listened attentively, looking like a first-time visitor.

But in fact, his familiarity with this mountainous area is even deeper than that of Shen Qingzhao, who has come here to film.

He was obsessed with racing in high school, and with the prosperity of Jiangcheng, there was no place to drag racing.

So, he and his friends set their sights on the suburbs, plus the hill.

Speeding along the suburban road all the way to the winding mountain road, and then back to the city, he could drive back with his eyes closed.

Even the development of the park on the hill was built by him watching.

"But pay attention to safety when you go out in the morning," perhaps because Shen Qingzhao really talked about racing, "There are a lot of racing parties on the winding mountain road. ”

He Sibai subconsciously rubbed his right wrist, which was tightly wrapped in gauze. He nodded obediently: "Okay." I'll take notice. ”

The two of them drove up the mountain along the road, and took a bird's-eye view of the scenery of Jiangcheng at the top of the mountain for a while before going down the mountain.

It just so happened that Deputy Director Ma also sent the location of the restaurant for the lunch dinner.

Shen Qingzhao drove to the hotel first, unloaded the luggage, and left it at the hotel front desk, then got into the car and went to the restaurant address sent by Deputy Director Ma.

The box was already full of men and women, all of whom were the main members of this short play, three leading actors, one male and two male, and two female. plus two producers, as well as an assistant director Ma.

Only then did He Sibai know that Shen Qingzhao was actually the female number one.

Although he knew that the gold content of short dramas was definitely not as good as that of TV dramas, Shen Qingzhao was the female number one, which also surprised him a little.

The director said that there was something to do, but before he arrived, Deputy Director Ma beckoned everyone to eat first.

The meal was social, and everyone didn't use their chopsticks much, just kept pouring wine into their glasses.

As a "math consultant", He Sibai was also forced to drink a lot.

After three rounds of drinking, seeing that Shen Qingzhao was drinking with the producer, He Sibai didn't tell her, turned around and walked out of the box alone and went to the bathroom.

The restaurant has three floors, except for the banquet hall on the first floor, and the other two floors are private rooms.

After being noisy by the loud decibels of laughter for a long time, He Sibai felt that his eardrums were swollen. He didn't want to have to chat with the crew on the way to the bathroom, so he slowly walked up the wooden spiral staircase to the bathroom on the third floor.

The restrooms are located on the landing in the middle of the second floor. There were no headlights on the third floor, and only a row of wall lamps lit on the walls of the hallway, emitting an amber light.

The sound of running water from the faucet mingled with the sound of women chattering.

He Sibai paused.

There are actually people.

The person in front of the hand pool in the bathroom obviously didn't know that there was anyone outside the door, and was still chatting casually.

“…… You say Shen Qingzhao? He Sibai heard a woman smile and asked.

is a familiar tone, and it should also be a working member of the crew.

Hearing this name, He Sibai, who had decided to walk away, stopped.

He turned around again, and retreated inaudibly, completely hiding his figure in the darkness behind the corner, minimizing his presence.

The other woman smiled in response.

The female voice who took the initiative to talk about Shen Qingzhao snorted and continued: "I didn't see it, I brought a little boy again." ”

"Then again, this little boy is more handsome than her previous boyfriends. I guess I'm also a model, right? The temperament is so good. ”

Again, before, those.

These key words were automatically filtered out by him.

He Sibai narrowed his eyes slightly.

Another female voice sighed fakely: "The same person is not the same life, the rich second-generation handsome guy around her is the same as her resources, and it has never been broken." ”

“…… It's not the same life. The woman commented half jealously, half sarcastically.

Perhaps because they didn't want the jealousy to be too obvious, after saying this, the two in the bathroom tacitly changed the topic and chatted about the gossip of the rest of the crew.

He Sibai, who was outside the door, also took the opportunity to leave quietly and turned back to the bathroom on the second floor.

When he returned to the box again, he was sitting on the sofa on the side, and Shen Qingzhao, who was looking left and right, immediately stopped his gaze and waved at him with a smile.

He Sibai also smiled and walked over to her.

"Why have you been there for so long," Shen Qingzhao asked casually, and continued, "The director has just arrived, and I will take you to meet him." ”

He Sibai said yes.

"Wait a minute." As soon as the two stood up, Shen Qingzhao suddenly stretched out his hand to signal to stop.

She pretended to be serious and asked: "The assistant director's surname is Ma, guess what the director's surname is first?" ”

He Sibai didn't know why the woman asked this, pondered for two seconds, and replied honestly: "I don't know." ”

"The surname is Niu," Shen Qingzhao finished speaking, tiptoed slightly, leaned into He Sibai's ear, and whispered, "We all call them directors Niu Ma in private." It is said that they will also partner to open a film and television company, which is called 'Niuma Company'. ”

It sounded like a funny joke, but He Sibai didn't mean to joke at all.

The young man's whole body stiffened, his eyes wandered, and he didn't dare to look at the slender white neck and eyelashes like crow feathers that were very close to him.

And also...... The curvature of the lips.

After finishing the joke, Shen Qingzhao took a step back and returned to normal social distancing with the teenager.

She patronized the pleasure, not even noticing the tips of the boy's ears, which were already red.

Speak of the devil. Seeing a middle-aged man with a ponytail not far away walking in his direction, Shen Qingzhao hurriedly reminded He Sibai in a low voice: "That's Director Niu." ”

He Sibai reacted quickly: "Okay, got it." ”

While the two were talking, Niu Dao had already walked in front of him.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Wow Qingzhao," Director Niu looked at Shen Qingzhao and boasted, "It's beautiful again." ”

Shen Qingzhao smiled: "Thank you, director." It seems that my weight loss these days has paid off. ”

"Did your agent force you?" Director Niu sighed, "When I decided with Tyson that you would play the female lead, I specially told him that your body shape is just right, so that he wouldn't let you lose weight so hard." ”

"No," Shen Qingzhao smiled, "I volunteered." This is a better fit for the character. ”

"You," Niu Dao said with disgust, and then looked at He Sibai, his tone was a little uncertain: "This is-"

Shen Qingzhao smiled: "I haven't had time to introduce it to you, this is ......"

Before he finished speaking, Niu Dao replied: "I know!" ”

In the face of Shen Qingzhao's stunned, Niu Dao seemed to be extremely comfortable. With a confident expression of "you don't need to say much, I remember it", he said: "Isn't this the one you told me last time, the one you haven't caught up with yet, the mixed-race brother who can speak three foreign languages?" ”

The young man on the side was rubbing his ears and froze for a moment.

Shen Qingzhao was stunned, and even woke up with a slightly drunken spirit. She really didn't expect that the mouth of the cow guide was faster than the mouth of the deputy director Ma, and sure enough, the big director was stronger than the deputy director.

After she came back to her senses, she hurriedly denied Sanlian: "No, no, you remember wrong!" ”

"Am I mistaken? It must be from the physical education department you told me about last time we chat," Director Niu lowered his voice in surprise, "I'll go, it's been a long time since you two got there this time, it's been almost two months, right?" What's going on? Is this something you like? ”

Although Director Niu intimately lowered his voice, Director Niu worked in the crew all the year round, and his voice was extremely loud, even if he lowered his voice, he could only ensure that the deaf could not hear.

Shen Qingzhao had to think bitterly, great, the 70-year-old security guard at the door of the apartment probably didn't hear her gossip.

Merely...... She glanced to the side quickly, and the young man had already put his hand down, as if he was listening carefully to Director Niu.

"Not yet? Could it be the model who studied fashion acting? Niu Dao became distressed, "No, don't you say that you won't get back together if you die?!" ”

The polite smile that Shen Qingzhao had been forcibly maintaining at the corner of his mouth was about to freeze. If she had a rag in her hand at this time, she would have used it to gag the director's mouth.

Shen Qingzhao glanced at He Sibai's expression. Although it was still that cold and white and sickly face, she always felt that there was a little more depression in those dark eyes that were staring at the ground tightly.

Wrong!

Why did she care so much about He Sibai's expression?!

It must be embarrassing and dizzy.

"Yes, this is the math bully I know, a top student of Jiang University," Shen Qingzhao hurriedly intercepted Director Niu's words to prevent Director Niu's topic from going off the rails again, "It just so happened that I heard that the screenwriter of this drama was not with the group, so I invited him to come, which can be regarded as an extra layer of guarantee for the rigor of the script." ”

He Sibai bowed his head slightly towards Niu Dao, still in a cold and gloomy tone: "Hello." ”

"Hello, hello," Director Niu looked him up and down a few times, and asked appreciatively, "Young man, you have a well-rounded IQ and beauty, and your appearance is so good, do you consider being an actor?" ”

"Don't think about it, thank you." He Sibai smiled, but his tone was unusually resolute.

"Okay." Niu Dao had some regrets, but he didn't force it.

When the dinner was over, the group's interest was still high, and the two producers proposed to sing K.

"Okay," Niu Dao waved his hand and decided, "If you want to continue playing the second half, follow me, and if you want to go back to rest, go to get a room card with the driver." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, the results were counted, and only Shen Qingzhao and He Sibai decided to go back to the hotel to rest.

"You two really don't go?" Niu Dao looked at Shen Qingzhao with some regret, "My mahjong skills have risen sharply recently, and I want to play a few games with you." ”

"I'm tired, next time." Shen Qingzhao smiled.

Niu Dao nodded, and the driver who was waiting on the side handed a paper sleeve to Shen Qingzhao: "This is the room card for you and Teacher He." ”

"Thank you."

Shen Qingzhao took the paper sleeve containing the room card, didn't look closely, turned around and left.

After walking a distance of a hundred meters, in the whistling of the cold wind, she vaguely heard the voice of the cow guide calling her from behind.

I guess I still want to persuade her to sing K together.

Shen Qingzhao didn't want to go, after all, it would be officially started tomorrow, she had to rest today, read the script, and nourish her spirits.

So she pretended not to hear and kept walking.

He Sibai on the side should have heard it, but to Shen Qingzhao's relief, the young man didn't make a loud reminder, but was silent very wisely, and followed him step by step.

Because they couldn't drive because they were drunk, the two walked to the side of the road and hailed a taxi back to the hotel.

The heating was turned on in the car, and the heat rolled and splashed in the face. Shen Qingzhao felt drunk, so he leaned on the car window and closed his eyes to recuperate.

The car quickly arrived downstairs at the hotel.

Walking through the hotel lobby, Shen Qingzhao was the first to walk into the elevator. She casually flipped out her hotel key card and swiped it.

The bright silver elevator doors slowly closed.

The two people in the elevator stood side by side, and the silver façade reflected two slender and straight figures, the kind of figures that could be predicted by just seeing the silhouette of a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

It's just that.

Shen Qingzhao leaned lazily on the side wall of the elevator. She yawned, and finally felt a little more conscious.

Finally, I realized that the atmosphere around me was a little too quiet.

Thinking back to the way back, the boy didn't seem to speak.

Although the teenagers were always silent, they had never been silent for such a long time in their solitude.

The silence in front of the director Niu Ma at the door of the restaurant can be regarded as fun, but such a long silence can no longer be defined by "fun".

The more Shen Qingzhao thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. So by pulling his hair, he quietly cast his eyes to the side.

The boy stared at the elevator door, pursing his lips, as if he had no interest in talking.

Shen Qingzhao vaguely remembered that since he had just met Niu Dao, the young man had not been very interested.

At this time, he blatantly drooped the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, looking cowardly.

Without thinking too much, Shen Qingzhao had already guessed what was causing the teenager to be depressed.

But she has never been in the habit of explaining her behavior to others. Besides, what the two directors said is actually roughly true.

However, the number symbolizing the floor on the LCD panel is slowly changing, and it is still a little far away from the floor where you want to stay.

She couldn't hold it back, took a deep breath, and finally chose to open her mouth to break the dull atmosphere in the elevator: "I'm sorry, I've caused you some trouble in terms of identity, I'll explain it clearly." ”

The boy was silent for a moment and sighed softly.

She had no idea why she was upset.

No...... At the moment, he doesn't even qualify to be jealous.

Thinking of this, he simply rejected Shen Qingzhao's proposal for clarification: "There is no need. ”

There is no need to clarify. Even if it's a false rumor, at least it will make their relationship seem closer.

This time, it was Shen Qingzhao's turn to be stunned: "What? ”

"Nothing." The young man turned his head sideways, calmly looked at Shen Qingzhao, and then tilted his head and smiled, "It's here." ”

I happened to hear the sound of an elevator dingdong.

The elevator came to a slow stop, and the doors opened.

Shen Qingzhao turned his head, took the lead in taking out his long legs, and walked towards the elevator door. Maybe she had been in the oxygen-deprived elevator for a long time, and she didn't pay attention for a while, and her slender heel almost got stuck between the gap between the elevator and the ground.

The center of gravity was unstable, and Shen Qingzhao stumbled.

Fortunately, there is a pair of powerful arms on his side to support him at the right time.

The young man reminded in a loud voice: "Be careful. ”

Shen Qingzhao thanked him in shock. After a moment's pause, he continued walking.

The calm words of the young man behind him were a supplement to the unfinished topic in the elevator: "I didn't expect that I myself would become the center of gossip and gossip." But since you and I know it's not true, it's just a funny joke and just listen to it. Why bother explaining. ”

Regarding the young man's words, Shen Qingzhao did not doubt him, only that the young man was empathetic, and he didn't want her to waste too much time on these gossips.

As for the "interesting" evaluation......

Shen Qingzhao held his forehead in some pain.

That's where it's interesting, it's obviously embarrassing.

Without thinking about it, she shook her head to make her messy thoughts clearer.

Anyway, in the future, there will never be anything more embarrassing than letting He Sibai listen to his prodigal love history.
