Zhong Li decided to confess to Yang Jue, so as not to burn himself again later, but to be splashed with a basin of dirty water.

Who knows, after telling her about the birthday party that night, she disdainfully said: "He is really a dog who can't change eating." You didn't suffer anything, did you? ”

This development was a bit unexpected to her, Zhong Li shook his head.

"That's good. I broke with him the other day, so don't think about it. ”

Seeing that she was not at ease, Zhong Li also breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, as Wei Yu said, it's just playing, and she really takes this relationship seriously.

There was nothing to do a few years ago, Zhong Li was free after two announcements, and most of the time he stayed in the rental house and picked his feet.

"There's a good job that pays well, you can try it, but you don't necessarily get it." One day, Yang Jue suddenly found her and said.

Zhong Li asked how much the reward was as usual, and after learning the specific amount, he didn't swallow a mouthful of water in his mouth, and stared at her.

"Look at your little bit of talent, it's like you've never seen money in your life." Yang Jue scoffed and gave her an address, "Speaking of which, this job was introduced by Cheng Chixuan's turtle grandson, and it was said to be a breakup fee." Phew! What kind of characters are coming from, such a big row? Sing him a song to become a relative of the emperor directly? ”

On the day of the interview, Yang Jue was dumbfounded and swallowed all the previous words: "I was wrong, this is really a relative of the emperor." ”

No, the courtyard next to the Summer Palace, sitting in the south and facing north, is a single-family with a courtyard, and it is a place where money can't buy it. Moreover, this house is still some years old, it is said that it used to be the former residence of a great man, and before it was opened, it was not allowed to be visited, and then it was auctioned out somehow, and the transaction price was staggering.

The guide led them into the door, through the atrium shaded by green bamboo, looking up, the sunlight poured in from the dense bamboo leaves, fluttering on the ground, there was a kind of chaotic year, sultry spring heart floating artistic conception.

So much so that she had a sense of inauthenticity in a trance that day.

They were not taken to the main house, but to an annex building to the east.

There were many people waiting under the corridor, Zhong Li hurriedly swept it, and found that many first- and second-tier actresses were among them, and he was even more curious about what kind of interview this was.

"It's like choosing a concubine." Yang Jue quietly complained to her, maybe some kind of vassal and elegant old pervert.

However, to make these people so flocking, it is obvious that the reward is secondary, and the talent in it matters.

Obviously, the drunkard didn't mean to drink.

Zhong Li was even more curious.

It took almost an hour to wait for her turn. This is quite fast, many people were blasted out within two minutes of entering, and the person who was led the way was bluntly insulting.

Even some first-line actresses don't give face at all, but they are all trained to leave in a gray way, and they don't dare to beak.

She was a little more careful, went upstairs like a thief, knocked on the door twice, and heard someone inside call her before entering.

This is a large open office, designed in the style of old America, and the heavy jacquard curtains are tightly closed, creating a unique clean and quiet interior.

The blinds were open, and two birdsongs occasionally leaked in, and a pot of plain crowned lotus was randomly placed in the corner of the table.

Rong Ling sat behind his desk, holding a pen in his hand, and lowered his head to write intently.

Looking from Zhong Li's angle, you can just see his skeletal jawline, his hair is very short, but the broken hair on his forehead is black and soft.

The white shirt was neatly ironed, only the neckline was slightly open, and two buttons were unbuttoned, and the thin fabric could not hide the bulging chest muscles.

Hearing the movement, he put down his pen and raised his head, and after seeing that it was her, he paused slightly: "Why are you?" ”

Zhong Li's face was slightly hot, and he didn't know how to answer.

It was obviously a very flat question, but she had a sense of crampedness that she had nothing to hide. My heart was in a mess, and I couldn't help but think of the fact that I was hit by him a few days ago and was almost taken advantage of by Cheng Chixuan.

I wonder how he would define her as a person?

But after thinking about it, they didn't know each other, so what did he think and what did it have to do with her?

"I'll sing the song, you can make the question."

The little girl doesn't hide her emotions yet, and this sounds hard.

Rong Ling smiled and didn't say anything.

Zhong Li realized it later, and also felt that he had made a mistake, and said, "You can't let me sing blindly, right?" I don't know what your criteria are for selecting people here? ”

"Then you're pretty smart enough to know the main questions."

It's not that he couldn't hear the ridicule in his words, Zhong Li was a little embarrassed and looked up.

His eyelids were thin and narrow, and his gaze was cold, looking somewhat cold.

However, under the sharp sword eyebrows, there are a pair of seductive phoenix eyes, amorous and seemingly ruthless, and the thin lips look ascetic and provocative, full of aggression.

It was the first time that Zhong Li felt two completely different temperaments in the same person so bluntly.

Gentle and square, domineering.

She later casually sang a song "The Singer of the End of the World", and did not forget to squint at him.

saw him lazily supporting his chin, lowering his eyes, and having some indescribable expressions. Especially when he sang "Lang, the two of us are one heart", he finally couldn't hold back and looked at her with a subtle expression.

Is she singing badly?

She thought to herself not very happily.

It wasn't until Hou Yingqi pushed the door in later and said exaggeratedly: "Are you really choosing someone or are you fake public and private for your own welfare?" How dare you sing this song on your grandfather's birthday? Aren't you afraid that his old man will pack you two up and throw them out? ”

I don't know if it's because after I know the beginning and the end, this song is untimely, or because of the words "you two", there is an inexplicable taste of hooking up and being embarrassed.

Zhong Li's face turned red, like a ripe apple.

-

Zhong Li's three-legged cat singing skills were naturally not selected. As for who was chosen, she didn't have the leisure to care.

Her mind was now full of the final images of that interview, thinking of the way she looked when she sang the song in ignorance and fearlessness, and she irritably picked up the pillow and ravaged it in her arms, and her legs kicked in the air.

Does he think he's deliberately teasing him? What a shame!

In November, the temperature in Beijing has plummeted, and pedestrians on the road have changed into thick coats.

The late autumn sun has a burnt yellow lens feeling, and the scene of weaving vehicles, pedestrians, and falling leaves is frozen into a rich scenery like an oil painting.

Zhong Li leaned on the window and watched for a while, then flipped out her mobile phone, and learned that it was sunny today, and she decided to go to Jietai Temple to make incense.

It took a while on the road, and after getting off the bus, she paid for her ticket and climbed all the steps to reach the main entrance.

The temple is quiet and elegant, the treasure is solemn, and in the distance is the rolling mountains, verdant; Nearby, the vermilion temple was hidden under the golden maple forest, and when it looked up, it sifted patches of light in the gaps between the branches and leaves, swaying brightly on the ground. Breathtakingly beautiful, like a picturesque wonderland.

Zhong Li worshiped the Bodhisattva and took the hanging slip to make a wish under the wishing tree.

She closed her eyes, prayed fervently, and threw the hanging strip up on tiptoe after making a wish.

It's a pity that the height is not enough, so I didn't hang it up the first time.

The hanging strip falls to the ground.

She picked it up and tried to hang it a few more times, but she didn't succeed, and accidentally threw it to the bottom branch.

Frustrated, she tried to reach for it.

A large slender hand removed the hanging strip for her, raised it slightly, and hung it on the tallest branch without much effort.

Zhong Li couldn't help but turn around: "Thank you—"

It was a very tall man, she could reach his shoulder, and when she looked up, she was stunned, and looked up at him for a while before she said dryly, "It's you." ”

Such an encounter was somewhat unexpected, but it had a few days of buffer.

Although Zhong Li was a little uncomfortable, he was not as uncomfortable as when he left that day, he just blinked and looked at him.

She is a person who can't hide her emotions, and a few little cleverness are in those big watery eyes.

Rong Ling didn't answer, looked up at the falling wishing slip, and asked her, "Do you believe this?" ”

Zhong Li didn't know how to answer. They don't seem to know each other very well, do they?

But this person has a very special temperament, when you stand beside him, you will unconsciously be emotionally affected by him, and subconsciously obey him.

She nodded sneeringly: "It can bring me good luck." ”

He hooked the corners of his lips, as if he had heard some kind of joke: "So did you get your character back?" ”

Zhong Li choked and suddenly became a little angry.

Are they familiar? Wouldn't he find it offensive?

And, how would he know something that her character didn't have?

Zhong Li couldn't figure it out, and wanted to reply to him, but when his eyes fell on his angular and intimidating side face, the words were held back.

Forget it, I can't afford to mess with it. This is the real ancestor!

At that time, although she didn't know his specific identity, she probably knew what level of character he was, this kind of son-in-law from a family was different from those rich second generations who swaggered through the market with a little money, and it was really an upper-class circle that ordinary people couldn't reach.

From the fact that she has never seen him on any entertainment news, and those actresses are also trying to perform a show that they don't know what to do, Zhong Li knows that he is not an ordinary person, at least the kind that no media dares to report and ridicule. Otherwise, with such a skin-like temperament, the return rate of walking around Chang'an Street will definitely be 100%.

To be honest, Zhong Li's first impression of him was not bad, but he didn't dare to get too close, and he intuitively felt that he was not easy to get along with, which made people feel scared.

"Have you eaten?" Rong Ling asked her suddenly, and there was less indifference and detachment in her voice.

"Huh?" She didn't react.

He looked down at her and repeated, his tone so natural that it seemed as if they had known each other for a long time: "I asked you if you had eaten?" ”

Zhong Li shook his head in confusion. In fact, she didn't realize what he meant at all.

Because normal people would not ask such a thing to someone who has only met a few times.

However, it is obvious that Rong Ling is not an ordinary person.

-

The Bentley drove into an alley, turned around, and stopped at the door of a courtyard.

The parkman came out to park, and another waiter led them through the cloister courtyard to a private room.

Zhong Li and Yang Fan had been here once before, but they were not allowed to enter the door at all.

Despite its unobtrusive location, this is a very famous Michelin-starred restaurant here, with only 10 seats available at each time slot, reservations are required, and formal attire is required.

Today she is dressed very casually, with a forest sweater on the top and a puffy skirt underneath, which is not an expensive style at first glance.

But the service staff didn't seem to see it, and greeted her with a smile, not only pulling out the chair for her, pouring tea and water, but also bending over to look at her sideways during the whole order, and softly asking her if she had any taboos.

Zhong Li flipped through the pages of the menu, and after seeing that a fried rice cost 78 and a caviar cost thousands, she silently closed the menu and handed it to him: "You can order it yourself, I won't." ”

Say "Amen" in your heart. Are the people of Beijing so wronged?

In fact, she still doesn't quite understand why he invited her to dinner.

The adult world is actually very simple.

Inviting someone to dinner is nothing more than a few situations - friends contact each other, career or work to ask each other.

How could someone like him ask for her?

Then there is only one other reason.

But this conjecture is a bit absurd.

Zhong Li's gaze fell on him unconsciously.

The weather was cold, and he only wore a black turtleneck sweater under the jacket he took off, which clearly outlined the muscles of his upper body.

The shoulders are broad, the bridge of the nose is high and straight, and there are thin, red lips...... When he lowered his head to drink tea, his big slender hand clasped the teacup, and the Adam's apple rolled regularly.

Zhong Li hurriedly withdrew his gaze, feeling inexplicably hot on his face.

I don't know if it's because the heating in this room is too high.

"You're an actor?" Rong Ling wore gloves and slowly peeled a crab.

This kind of thing, ordinary people do definitely not match the word elegance.

But he is different, he seems to be very comfortable in what he does, and if the eight winds do not move, he naturally has a graceful bearing.

Zhong Li said a little embarrassed: "It's not counted, it's just a trick." ”

This is not true, she has not played the protagonist of any drama seriously, and even "Black and White", which she has the only chance to participate in, is yellow.

She sighed in frustration.

Rong Ling raised his eyes to look at her, sometimes it was quite difficult to understand.

She seems to be having a bad time, but when she is depressed, she has a fresh popularity.

It's hard to describe this vitality.

In short, it's very different from the people around him.

He is accustomed to seeing drunkenness, glitz and luxury, and he has also seen thousands of high-rise buildings rise and fall on the ground and then disappear, in fact, it is difficult for him to stop and take a second look.

"What have you played?" He asked her again.

Zhong Li felt that he was suspected of exposing her shortcomings, and complained in a low voice: "...... It's all said that it's just a trick. ”

Rong Ling smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, you tell me, I'm quite interested." ”

Zhong Li: "......"

What's the matter with this man? Can't you hear what she doesn't want to say?

"Mr. Rong, we don't seem to know each other very well."

"Don't you say, 'We're one heart'?" He lowered his eyes lightly, a shallow smile floating in his dark pupils.

Zhong Li's face turned red uncontrollably.

She scolded herself in her heart, she was really useless, people just said a casual joke, and she was teased like this.

I can't help but say, what does a big man do like this?!

She later compromised and said reluctantly: "I have played the maid of the heroine in a Republic of China drama, and I have also played the ...... in a drama of the Anti-Japanese War."

Rong Ling listened quietly, as if he was listening to some important meeting report, and he was relishing.

The crab in his hand had been peeled, the crab meat had been shaved clean, and it was served in a small dish.

Zhong Liduo glanced at it twice, pretended to drink saliva, and silently used the cup to block the bitten crab leg in front of him.

Is it so particular about eating crabs? He foiled her like this, and she was very unsophisticated.

He shoved a plate full of crab meat in front of her.

Only then did Zhong Li know that this was for her to shave.

She was flattered, a little embarrassed, thought about it, gave him half with a small spoon, and pushed it back: "Let's eat together." ”

Rong Ling was slightly stunned, her eyes fell on her sincere face, and she smiled somehow.

"Didn't anyone say you were funny?"

Zhong Li didn't expect him to say this, it's not that he hasn't met the son-in-law who accosted her, they can't hide things in their eyes, and their intentions are obvious.

But he didn't look at the waves like that.

It seems to be just a casual compliment.

Zhong Li's heart was up and down, he was a little unsure of what he meant, no matter how delicious things were, they were a little light and tasteless.

They ate the meal for almost two hours.

This was something Zhong Li couldn't have imagined before.

The meal was slow and methodical, but there was no sense of time passing.

Tranquil surroundings, delicious food, and ...... She looked at him.

Well, it's delicious.

He is really good-looking, better than those stars in the circle.

Appearance is still secondary, and the kind of bearing on the body that is like no one else is more attractive than appearance.

Later, he sent her back, and the luxury car worth tens of millions drove into the dilapidated community, and when he moved at a rapid pace between the roads with a diameter of less than two meters, Zhong Li felt a little uncomfortable and embarrassed.

The car stopped under a residential building full of creepers.

He came down and went around this side very gentlemanly to open the door for her.

It's just that when he looked up at the roof, his eyes paused slightly: "You live here?" ”

Zhong Li seemed to hear something off-string, and his face tightened.

She said stubbornly: "If I had money, I would also live in a courtyard house with three entrances and three exits." ”

Rong Ling was not angry: "Don't mind, I don't mean anything else." ”

Zhong Li also felt that he was too sensitive, pursed his lower lip, softened his tone and said, "Thank you for your meal." ”

"You're welcome."

She was about to leave, but somehow turned back, only to find that he hadn't left yet, leaning against the car door with his hands and looking at her from afar.

Seeing her turn around, he smiled a little, as if he had expected it.

Zhong Li didn't know why, a heart beat rapidly, like a fine drum beating on the tip of her heart.

Fortunately, the cool night breeze blew at the right time to bring her back to her senses.

She turned her head quickly and ran upstairs without looking back, as if some flood beast was chasing her behind her.

Rong Ling took all this into his eyes, smiled very lightly, and turned to get into the car.

The car sped away quickly and disappeared into the night.
