Chapter 60: Playing with the heart

Jing Rong eyes to adapt to the darkness, to the moonlight looked at the watch, the time is unconsciously past midnight: "You sleep first."

Xi Gu smiled and went to the bed with a cold look, maintaining his high and cold persona at all times, leaning on the back of the bed to reply to MoDot's nervous inquiries. There are few attractions near the film city, and a little farther is the highway, and Xi Gu has been followed from time to time by people filming him in previous years, causing him to become paranoid.

MoDot had to hear Xi Gu's voice to be sure that the phone was not taken away and replied, Xi Gu had no choice but to record a random voice and send it, so that MoDot would not really make a big show of calling the police.

Guang Yu saw Jing Rong rummaging around in the closet next to her: "What are you looking for?"

"Quilt." Is this hotel service so inadequate, not even a spare quilt?

"......" which hotel will prepare this, Xi Gu mouth corner twitched.

This is a bit embarrassing, Jing Rong had planned to sleep on the floor, the plan was not.

Fortunately, this bedroom is quite large, there is a table and chairs for resting by the window, he closed his clothes and sat down to squint for a while, and was about to walk over when he heard a voice coming from the cold: "The bed is big, enough for two people to sleep."

"I don't look very good sleeping." Lone A and O. A little inappropriate.

"Oh, I thought you were disgusted with me."

The voice gradually lowered, Xi Gu lowered his eyes, and in the hazy darkness, it seemed to carry a trace of sadness.

After the drama was over, Xi Gu didn't even bother to see Jing Rong's reaction, and got under the covers alone, covering himself with his head.

The silent sadness is too deadly, piercing the softest part of the heart.

"Of course not, I'm just worried..." alas, more talk is more than enough.

Jing Rong simply proved it in action, not caring about the idea that the AO is not a family member, and lifted the other side of the covers to bed.

Xi Gu felt the bed cave in and the corners of his lips rose slightly.

The bed was large, and the same quilt was pulled out of a large gap between the two bodies, and the slightly cool air burrowed in, cooling the slightly warm brains of both.

The whole room, quiet as if only the sound of their breathing.

Xi Gu deliberately softens his voice and listens to the melody next to him in silence.

Mentally calculate the time between each breath of Jing Rong, as if this can give a little comfort to my restless heart.

The sound insulation is not very good, you can hear the sound of Ling Xie getting up in the night. Perhaps he was really disturbed just now, and now he came over to see how his brother was doing, turned the handle and was shocked to find that the door was unlocked.

What to prevent, this brat even his own big brother to prevent? Looking for death.

Hearing the movement of the door lock, the nerves of the two who had not yet fallen asleep were tightened.

Fortunately, Ling Xie, who did not open the door, left directly.

Just relax, the other party's breath becomes more and more pronounced, if not more so, drilling into every capillary pore.

The two men were motionless and both looked like they were asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but Xi Gu felt Jing Rong breathing steadily, quietly pulling back the covers and turning around with as little movement as possible.

But unexpectedly, Jing Rong also wanted to change his sleeping position at this time and check on Xi Gu's condition.

The two men's eyes met, in the darkness.

The room was dark and quiet.

Silent silence, even breathing is put more lightly.

Xi Gu withdrew his eyes as if he was electrocuted.

Before Jing Rong could think about it, Xi Gu had already turned back, and his reaction was delicate and subtle.

Jing Rong was just a normal roll over, but Xi Gu's reaction was a bit, say, twisted.

Like a sticky thread that is going to break and hook a little.

Jing Rong knew he was under the influence of the temporary marker, and after the first marker, he showed signs of splitting his reason and desire, like all marked Alpha, and desires that Xi Gu was his.

Sometimes too close to see Xi Gu will have the urge.

The occasional anachronistic possessiveness that pops up when you find other men looking at Xi Gu. These are now superficial, just a little bit burning his sanity.

The mind knows it shouldn't, but the body can't control it.

Look at the wikipedia explanation, with the number of markings deepen, such a feeling will gradually increment.

The only good thing is that, according to the original description, Xi Gu's heat cycle is very long, at least the original only once in Maya City.

Later, Xi Gu's rut seems to have fallen into a long, endless sleep, and the comments section says Xi Gu is a dead volcano. If you want him to wake up from his dormancy, first you need him to start burning inside and bursting out lava.

But look at Xi Gu, the look of a million years of ice and snow, in these scum attack only slightly kinder to Fang Jue Ren who did not reveal his true nature, which later turned against him, want him to melt is unrealistic.

# But we have to play highway, see Xi Gu that inviolable, ice-like look, but only forced to bear the look is cool ah #

When Jing Rong woke up, as always, he looked at the ceiling.

Outside, the sun is shining and Ling Xie is knocking at the door.

And on the arm, there is something soft and slippery against it, and the calf is pressed against something.

Jing Rong's thoughts haven't returned yet, and he has a few minutes of blankness after each waking period.

"Well, who is it."

Xi Gu was also woken up by the knocking on the door outside. I thought I would lose sleep because I was too nervous, but instead, I fell asleep quickly and peacefully.

He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw beautifully defined arm muscles with the perennially exercised bruises surfacing shallowly and sensually just right.

He didn't know when he rolled to the other side of the bed, his cheek still pressed against this muscle.

Xi Gu jerked awake, moved his head away, let go of the other man, and awkwardly moved his calves off Jing Rong's body again.

Seeing Jing Rong also slowly sitting up, Xi Gu bowed his head in shame and whispered, "Good morning..."

There is no hole in the ground, I want to drill now.

But Jing Rong did not respond, and his hair was sticking up because he was asleep.

More and more dull than usual.

Xi Gu quickly noticed this and flicked his fingers at the dull hair.

He's not awake yet, is he? Xi Gu looks like he's got another little secret, and stashes this new discovery in his time box.

After a few minutes, Jing Rong's dull gaze gradually got brighter, looked at the face close at hand, and sucked in a breath: " Xi Gu?" I just woke up and was hit by a beauty blast, a bit overwhelmed.

Xi Gu knew it was finally awake and pointed outside, signaling that it had been knocking for a long time.

Jing Rong can still feel the residual warm and greasy touch on his arms and legs, his eyes misplaced Xi Gu's, or when not know it.

He looked at his body, clothes are in, there Xi Gu in yesterday also did not luo sleep, scared to the little cabbage is not good.

Jing Rong goes to open the door, while Xi Gu hides behind it with a very tacit understanding.

"What time is it look at yourself, your life routine is so bad, like what!" Ling Xie looked at his brother like this and knew that he was confused in his sleep, and it was not the first time he waited for his little brother to get up.

Jing Rong said he understands and will definitely change it in the future.

Ling Xie was about to leave when she noticed behind Jing Rong, the messy king-size bed with folds from left to right.

Ling Xie knows Jing Rong's sleeping posture is very good, basically how to lie down at night, how to get up the next day, it is unlikely to sleep like this tumble.

Ling Xie thought again of the abnormal closing of the door yesterday, and the occasional disorderly look of his little brother.

After a thoughtful glance at Jing Rong, he went to the bathroom.

Jing Rong went in together in order to take cover, Ling Xie frowned: "Squeeze what, wait for the meeting."

"No, I'm about to leave, brother let me first." Jing Rong heckled playfully as Guang Yu kept an eye on the movement outside.

Ling Xie always tightened her eyebrows, but resigned herself to squeezing toothpaste for Jing Rong, pouring warm water and putting it on the counter.

Brat, just know how to make people.

Xi Gu, on the other hand, quietly came out from behind the moment Ling Xie turned around, and then quickly scurried to the door, colliding with You Zhou who was coming to the door.

Ignoring You Zhou's shocked eyes, Xi Gu nodded haughtily and disappeared a moment later.

You Zhou didn't expect that their young master could turn Xi Gu into his guest, no, no, it's the snowy mountain ice crystal that is the most difficult to capture in the entertainment industry.

When Jing Rong was called for makeup, Ling Xie left You Zhou and asked, "Was there someone in Little Brother's house yesterday?"

You Zhou : "You said that in the future, in anything, you will put the young master first."

"I'm his brother, can't I even understand it."

"But it's the young master who pays my salary." You Zhou thought about it and felt that what Jing Rong said earlier made sense.

"......" is really Xiang Zhou's brother, this broken nature are exactly the same.

"Isn't it Ying Qi?"

Seeing You Zhou's shocked expression, Ling Xie crossed out this option.

You Zhou This tightly guarded look, should not really ...... some Alpha?

With concern, Ling Xie walked to the bed that had not been made up.

Took the quilt, sniffed it gently, and looked grave.

One side can be sure that the smell is on the little brother, the other side ......

Fragrant, sweet and soft.

Once you smell it, it's not right.

Ling Xie : "There's a problem."

You Zhou : Mr. Xie, the way you look, it looks a little bit more problematic.

*

Today is the opening ceremony of "Royal Power", and the stage was set up early, with red tablecloths filled with fruits, pastries, and pig heads representing good luck. The crew was already in the limelight because of the various topics from a while ago, and this time, with the director and male lead of this drama winning international awards, the media alone came with dozens more than expected, and the scene was extraordinarily lively.

Fans of each family also came around and were stopped outside by a cordon.

Because there is a limit to the number of people who can get here are the lucky fans who rely on the crew to temporarily draw in the official blog.

Xi Gu has the most followers due to its base.

When a group of lead actors were brought out by the director, there was a landslide of cheers.

One fan could even be heard shouting "Xi Gu! .

Xi Gu waved his hand towards the place full of light signs and hand banners, and the increasingly enthusiastic wave brought the whole scene to a fiery heat.

All the reporters swarmed around them for interviews, but of course the most asked questions were about the directors Yu Liu and Xi Gu.

It was only after most of the interview that someone found Jing Rong standing on the more marginal side, and they remembered the previous hit, because it was easy to see how many stories could be dug out of this newcomer just from Film academy's blurb.

Now, the most important thing is that the newcomer is involved with Xi Gu, and the one who broke the news is Jiarui Xun who was brushed off by the crew.

Nowadays, the news is polarized. Some say that Xi Gu has been cheating on the newcomer and they have known each other for a long time so that the newcomer got the role. Some say that Xi Gu resents such things as subterfuge and because of these rumors, Xi Gu feels that her image is damaged and she does not get along with the newcomer.

A reporter on the scene aimed directly at the incident: " Xi Gu , there is news that you have a conflict with a certain newcomer in the cast because of some false rumors, is this true?"

A certain person, not named. But many people in the room looked at Jing Rong, who was extremely striking even without speaking.

The fans at a distance also buzzed.

"Wow, frontal bar!"

"This kind of thing is not always private scribble, now go directly to ask the right person, to be so fierce!"

"Otherwise, the public has been robbed first, there is still food to eat, the survival of entertainment is not easy."

" What would Xi Gu answer?"

"In fact, when they entered, I paid special attention to Xi Xi and the newcomer Jing Rong. I found that they treated each other like air, and occasionally their eyes met, but they were also cold. Especially when they were standing, the director seemed to say to Jing Rong to stand over a bit, Xi Xi's face was put down directly. Although it is not very obvious, but should be a bit repulsive, a little face is not given."

" Jing Rong also did not come up, but stood farther away, this newcomer seems to have a backbone?"

"I just found out too, not to mention the subterfuge, I thought it was going to be a fight. That newcomer looked mild, but that body aura, is definitely not easy to mess with the Alpha bar."

"I now believe that they may really not get along."

"Yes, I can feel it, it's the kind of indifference that is obviously a stranger and pretending to be peaceful."

" Xi Gu is really a little upset with the newcomer because of those rumors, right? It seems to be really angry, being so vilified."

"Who wouldn't be angry if they changed, working so hard to act and in the end being so rumored, as if all the efforts ahead were wasted. What people care about is not how much he has accomplished, but his scandals. I a passerby feel Xi Gu injustice, all day long by the newcomer fancy bundle of hype."

"It's not easy for newcomers either, I've seen that performance accident, to be fair, since the director has finalized him, maybe he really has potential?"

"Some newcomers have more means backstage, bundle hype to the top is still less?"

"A lot of people in the live stream just now, especially Jiarui Xun's fans, are waiting for the newcomer to be kicked out of the show!"

"Anyway, no matter how to say, outside the scene two see each other, the scene I heard there are intimate scenes. How can we shoot when we are so deadlocked?"

"Yeah, it's hard to think about it."

"If a newcomer doesn't do well, he or she will probably be brushed off by Xi Gu. Xi Gu's professionalism is undeniable, so there's a good show to watch."

If you look closely, there are actually a few Jing Rong fans standing far away, vowing to stay away from the group of Fen Xi who fantasize all day long that others are going to fall back on their steaming. They were the first few seniors who joined the support group in the beginning. Because of the mutual dislike with Fen Xi, they have united instead, and this time they are also crowdfunding to the film base.

They overheard the conversation of several fans next to them, and they could only huddle helplessly for warmth, not daring to speak or ask questions, and looking worriedly at Jing Rong in the center of the stage.

At that moment, Xi Gu took the microphone and glanced at the reporter who asked the pointed question. When the reporter came into contact with Xi Gu's unperturbed glance, a chill actually came out from the bottom of his heart, always feeling as if he was being watched by a harmless-looking creature.

Xi Gu remembered the logo on the reporter's microphone, it was from a magazine with an entertainment section and a fashion section, and the new company was expanding its entertainment contacts.

Starting today, your connections may have to be somewhat affected.

I am a person, not many advantages, many disadvantages, especially love to hold a grudge.

Xi Gu blinked innocently, "What do you mean by false rumors? Sometimes some of the news, I'm the last to know myself, and it dawns on me a bit every time."

The next few actors heard this, also empathetic smile, this is really the truth, they have encountered.

The atmosphere went from slightly hostile and tense to jokingly light-hearted in a short while, and Xi Gu named a few other entertainers to answer questions.

But the reporter before that still does not relent, this is one of the reporters who tried to follow Xi Gu in the hotel yesterday, and was finally thrown out of the hotel by Ying Qi, and now the interview still carries the anger of being thrown out.

"But today the newcomer is so far away that it is difficult to bring to the photo shoot, is it because of your dislike?"

Xi Gu seemed stunned, then cried and laughed: "I just kept following the director and didn't notice the other actors."

The people in the audience also think that this reporter is unreasonable. Xi Gu has no need to lower his status on such a trivial matter to hit others. Xi Gu has a very good reputation for promoting his juniors, so there is no reason to deliberately discredit himself.

When Jing Rong's turn came, the reporter again asked pointed questions.

Jing Rong was very humble, as if he was unaware of the language trap laid by the other party, and said, "As a newcomer I am grateful for the opportunity given to me by the director, and I will definitely try my best to play this role well. I am also very grateful to senior Gu for guiding me, and I hope I won't let him down."

Having said that, the two also looked at each other peacefully before quickly averting their eyes.

Presumably to quell previous rumors, the newcomer made a point of complimenting Xi Gu.

The people in the room all looked at Jing Rong with slight appreciation, the newcomer does not say anything else, but this point is very good to understand the human world.

This answer makes the entertainment reporters who want to break the news to get the exclusive feel bored, what is the point of such a thousand answers. But they can also see that both Xi Gu, who has already stood to the top stream, and the newcomers, do not want to put the conflict on the table.

This is also agreed upon, the newcomers to the top, the seniors do not allow the bundle, which would have been the breaking point. It seems that we have to wait for the late who can squat to, several entertainers don't each other's heads.

After leaving the stage, the producer saw Ling Xie standing a short distance away, looking at the stage with a cold face.

This is not just put several times the money to the crew of the god of wealth, and this is not the general god of wealth, people come to the entertainment industry is the nature of the play, simply did not take it seriously, the producer hurried to meet up.

"What brings you here? You were supposed to be the one to give the speech earlier."

"Come and see."

Ling Xie wanted to say that the other party should take good care of his brother, but thought that if he had to say that, his little brother would definitely make a scene.

Ling Xie is not afraid of anything, but afraid of this debt collection ghost is not satisfied.

It was clear to him that Jing Rong had a fire in his heart, a desire to prove himself and to be recognized by others.

When the producer walked Ling Xie to the car, Ling Xie pointed to someone not far away.

"Take that person and replace him." Since it is certain that the person in the little brother's house is not Ying Qi, there is no need to put it here.

The producer looked back and saw Ying Qi, who was smiling at the assistant director.

"Okay, don't worry, he won't be on the set tomorrow." This kind of investor who doesn't stuff people, but will reduce them has never been seen before.

However, Zhu Jin's father's request must be fulfilled.

When Xi Gu was interviewed on stage, he felt some heat on the back of his neck, but the heat dissipated after a while.

After the opening ceremony, it was the first scene of the opening shoot that the director had promised several media.

The filming site had to be cleared, the previous fans left one after another, and most of the entertainers were ready to go back to write their scripts with freshly released interviews.

It should have been left until the official start of shooting tomorrow, but due to the negative impact of the previous, it was temporarily decided to shoot Jing Rong's first scene first.

Yu Liu deliberately selected some more neutral media and public numbers, not to seek their praise, but at least to seek an impartial.

This drama, as long as it tells the story of Hua Shao, the seventh prince, who has been humiliated from a young age and secretly vows to become a human being. He bides his time, and after being betrayed by the son of his childhood friend, the Chancellor, he no longer trusts anyone. He meets Qianming Fu, a young eunuch who is on the verge of death, and after finding his wisdom, he promotes him to be his beloved.

In this scene, Jing Rong's young eunuch Qianming Fu is in his sixth year in the palace when the concubine he was serving is found poisoned to death in a side hall. The concubine was a new concubine who had just entered the palace and was loved by the emperor because she sang like a yellow warbler.

She was poisoned so easily and disguised as a suicide by hanging, a matter that made the emperor very angry.

And there are seven of them, from the junior eunuchs to the first class palace maids, who handle her meals.

It is reasonable to say that such a crime who can not escape being given death, but the emperor once the thought of being able to poison concubines in this way, it is possible to poison him, is to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, and then ask the method of poisoning is the key.

These seven people were summoned, carefully questioned after, first killed two people to make an example of the monkey.

The rest of the group scrambled to identify each other, and Qianming Fu, the lowest-ranking person, became the target, and he would soon become the third chicken with no way to defend himself.

This scene, right from the beginning of the identification, the crew has come to a carved courtyard, surrounded by pleasant scenery, the pool of koi occasionally cross out of the water.

Several cameras were ready in place around the area, the shooting track was laid, and the other actors took their places.

Jing Rong looked at the location of the three cameras on the set and thought about the positioning later, but his hands hidden in his costume trembled slightly involuntarily. A few days of intensive training had enabled him to face the camera without trembling, but it would take time to be completely at ease.

Jing Rong closed his eyes slightly and shook his somewhat damp palm, not bothering to look at the group of media and public figures waiting to see a good show.

He heard the assistant director next to him say, "Go over there when you're ready, they're all waiting for you."

Jing Rong relaxed himself as much as possible and slowly walked over.

At this moment, Xi Gu's slightly cold voice rang out: "There are some things that I'd better say in advance. A drama is the joint effort of all of us, and your role is also crucial. If you don't act well, neither the director team nor we as actors can let you stay."

Next to the assistant director, there are two newcomers ready to replace Jing Rong.

At that, he looked excitedly at Xi Gu, who was as detached and unconcerned as ever.

The public on the sidelines is excited, first-hand information ah!

Just now is really the surface peace ah, the main show here!

Everyone was turned on by Xi Gu's words.

Director Yu Liu was the most surprised, he was the only one who knew the "truth".

But now this look, these two should not really turn against each other, right?

Jing Rong looked to Xi Gu, the two did not speak can feel each other did not say the words, he heard a voice from those eyes:

Look at me, don't care about anyone, you just need to focus on me.

Jing Rong stared at Xi Gu as if the newcomer had been insulted, holding back his anger.

In the midst of the saber-rattling, no one noticed Jing Rong's hand gradually stop trembling.

After the field notes hit the board, the director shouted: "Action!"

Next to two freshly killed bodies, an old eunuch with a cross face stared at the four men who were shivering.

The sharp voice echoed in the field, "These two are reluctant to talk, their mouths are hard, I wonder if your mouths are just as hard?"

The words just fell, the remaining three shirked their responsibilities to each other, only the little eunuch who looked like a mute next to him looked up blankly around.

He did not have a half of the Alpha's breath, but rather like a teenager who had been removed from the English, some femininity, obviously at the beginning of the addition of makeup also still imposing, this moment after the subtle change of expression, the whole person like no masculine taste.

The surrounding people could not help but be attracted by this person's sudden change of temperament, once into the scene, Jing Rong the entire popular scene instantly changed.

He has no lines yet, just panicked eyes, want to say but because of too stupid mouth, several times to open the mouth were interrupted anxious, beads of sweat fell on the forehead, because of panic and look abnormal red cheeks, the little eunuch's character is fully depicted.

When everyone identified him, Qianming Fu, tears welling up in his eyes, crawled on his knees toward the old eunuch and stammered, "No, no, it's not me, I didn't..."

The old eunuch gave him a scornful look and signaled to pull him onto the bench.

Snapping.

The heavy bamboo board with the sound of meat slapping sound.

I know it's not a real fight, but the people watching him on the bench couldn't help but sweat for him, as if he was really suffering from unimaginable pain. Qianming Fu hands clenched fists, the temples of veins burst out, mouth vaguely shouted "spare life".

Sweat falls from the eyelashes to the floor, one drop, two drops.

Only one line, but the whole body language performance is very tense, so that people immediately into the scene.

After the beating, the interrogation was over for the day, and the few surviving eunuchs and the dying Qianming Fu were taken back to the dungeon of the Sovereign's Palace for safekeeping.

A few eunuchs on the side whispered: "Several other people are not good, but that on the bench, look really do not know what to do."

The old eunuch where not to see, really know something, that little eunuch has long been like the next few like pouring beans to say, to clear the suspicion will be desperate.

The old eunuch sneered: "In the imperial palace, there is no one who is wronged, understand?"

Several people responded sarcastically.

I don't know how long it took, but when a group of public figures came out, I couldn't help but put my raised heart down.

Just now a scene some excitement, still can not come back to mind, the whole picture, there is actually no one actor fell off the chain, the old actors and actresses are very much in place.

Especially the new actor Jing Rong, not only does he not pull his crotch, but also makes people look forward to his performance more and more. Once this person is present, people can't take their eyes off him, and the teenager in the performance accident, it's just like two people!

This contrast, who can not be stunning!

I believe they are not the only ones who will be amazed after the broadcast.

This drama, whether it's the meticulous costume road, or the acting skills of the actors just now, has something to look forward to. And the plot has the original novel to add to the heat itself, they can't help but look forward to it.

Just go back to how to send a script, in order to maximize the appetite of the audience, still need to figure out.

Other people had not seen Jing Rong play during the audition, and they had heard some things before and thought Jing Rong had brought the role from the backstage, but now that they saw the real performance, they were really amazed.

Jing Rong looked at Yu Liu, who was more worried than the others, he knew how serious Jing Rong's illness was, he didn't know how to explain if he messed up the first game, but luckily Jing Rong gave a satisfactory answer.

Even the assistant director next to Jing Rong, who had been dissatisfied, showed a rare smile.

Jing Rong knows that Xi Gu was instrumental in getting rid of the effects so quickly.

When I looked in the direction of Xi Gu, I saw that there was no one there.

He had just returned to his seat when You Zhou handed him his cell phone with the two words Xi Gu had just sent in WeChat: Come quickly.

Then there is a line to locate the location.

Jing Rong had just arrived near the toilet when he saw several people, not unfamiliar to him, walking from a distance.

It was the entertainer who just interviewed, in order not to be seen by them, Jing Rong quickly rushed into the Men O, and in the exclusive compartment of the rut, saw Xi Gu, whose whole body was burning up, Xi Gu's body was white with powder, and she was holding a suppressant by her hand.

The pheromones in Xi Gu's body were almost on the verge of breaking through the blocking agent and rendering the air around him.

Noticing Jing Rong's arrival, he immediately pounced on it, the weight of the two pressed together against the door panel, and Xi Gu dropped the lock with one hand.

"Quick, here we go again ......"

The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.

Just then, two entertainers joked and laughed while walking into Men O.

It's just a few steps away from them.
