I'm off powder

Chapter 11

Confused?

Shen Huai was really a little confused.

However, he reacted fairly quickly, and after a while, he gave a sensible "oh" and didn't say much.

Thinking about it, there is nothing to say, Gu Hanshi's attitude is already there, it is clear that he thinks he is meddling.

After all, he is a respected and recognized film king, and for Shen Huai, it is just right to be placed in the position of an idol.

Shen Huai has been a fan of him for so many years, once they met each other, after eating two meals, they just pretended to think that they could become...friends?

Friends, nonexistent.

He tried to convince himself that the blame wasn't on Gu Hanshi, but in the end, he felt bored and aggrieved, as if he had a choked breath, which was strangely uncomfortable.

Shen Huai is a bit arrogant in his bones, even though he is kind to people on the surface, he still rejects people thousands of miles away.

So he doesn't have many real friends.

He always thought that Gu Hanshi should be one of them, even if he is not now, he will be sooner or later.

Shen Huai thought, maybe he was too self-righteous.

But when Gu Hanshi said it so directly, it was always a little embarrassing and unpleasant.

Self-acceptance is one thing, but keeping a distance is quite another.

From that day on, Shen Huai began to intentionally distance himself from Gu Hanshi, and slowly returned to his original state.

When I saw it on the set, I just nodded and said hello. Occasionally, Gu Hanshi asked him to eat with him, but he also found reasons to refuse. When Gu Hanshi bought something for the crew to eat, he also shook his head politely and said no, he lost weight.

Gu Han almost vomited blood when he heard it.

With that little curly hair, at first glance, it looks like the type that looks thin when you take off your clothes, and you can lose a lot of fat.

Gu Hanshi is not a person who likes to think too much, and he is very busy with work during this time, so he didn't take this matter to heart at first.

But he is not a fool. Over time, he can still notice something.

For example, Shen Huai's attitude towards him only.

Rusty and polite, and occasionally give people a feeling of indifference.

This is so unusual.

That day, after he and Shen Huai finished telling him to leave him alone, Shen Huai didn't react at all. He said "OK" without his face collapsing.

Gu Hanshi himself was quite open-minded - he just felt that what happened before had more or less implicated Shen Huai, and Shen Huai just had conflicts with people like Yang Zhongyuan.

Everything happened because of him, he couldn't stir Shen Huai into this muddy water anymore.

Gu Han frowned after thinking about it.

Otherwise, the little curly hair was scolded?

He often heard Wang Min mention his manager, he was a very powerful person, and he was very strict with his artists.

Although he was beaten by Yang Zhongyuan, Shen Huai's generosity of "heroes saving heroes" was not exposed, Zhang Yue must have known it clearly at the first time.

This explains it all.

One after another, because he was covered in mud and couldn't be shaken off, he was unhappy when he was scolded, so he vented his anger on him; or kept a distance from him if he was obedient, it's not surprising.

It's just that after thinking about it, he still felt that the little curly hair was a bit pitiful.

Should I say something for him?

It's a coincidence.

One Sunday morning, Gu Hanshi rushed to announce that Xiaolin was not feeling well and asked for leave. Gu Hanshi saw that the place was out of the way, it was early, and there were no people on the street, so he boldly slipped into the Starbucks that had just opened to buy coffee.

There are no customers in the store, and the few assistants are young boys.

When Gu Han walked in, one of the two who were talking looked up at him, then froze.

"Ah, Gu Gu Gu..." The boy opened his mouth wide, unable to speak for a while in astonishment.

The older grade next to him with a cropped head bumped him with an elbow, and then smiled at Gu Han: "Good morning customer, what do you need?"

Gu Hanshi didn't look at the menu, and didn't say much, he simply replied, "A large glass of hazelnut latte, and two French croissants."

"Do you have a membership card?"

"No."

"Hello, the total is 57 yuan."

Just as Gu Hanshi took out his wallet, a hand stretched out from behind, holding a gold and black bank card.

"I want a supersized cappuccino. With this gentleman. No star rewards card."

Gu Hanshi turned his head and met Zhang Yue's smiling eyes.

Big earrings, smoky makeup, and big brown sunglasses on his chin.

After Zhang Yue paid the money, Starbucks became more crowded, and the two found a corner to sit down, and Zhang Yue considerately left him the seat with his back to the gate.

"There are too many people. How will you go later?"

Gu Hanshi put down the coffee he took a sip, and took out the baseball cap from his bag: "Use this."

Zhang Yue smiled: "Don't wear a mask or something? I can lend you my sunglasses."

Gu Hanshi glanced at her in surprise, lowered his head and smiled: "No need. Wearing big sunglasses on cloudy days will attract attention instead. And in fact, not so many people pay attention to what the people they pass by look like."

Zhang Yue nodded, and replied to the message while drinking coffee, her crystal nails were shining.

Gu Hanshi was in a hurry and ate quickly, he hesitated for a moment after eating, and still dragged the topic a bit far-fetched.

"Is there something to do here today? Shen Huai has a job?"

"I'm not Shen Huai's manager alone. The company gave me another disobedient brat, and I have to keep an eye on it." Zhang Yue suddenly raised her head, put her phone on the table, and pointed at He raised his eyebrows, "But speaking of our Shen Huai...you two didn't quarrel, did you?"

Gu Hanshi didn't expect Zhang Yue's question to be so irritating as soon as he asked it. After being slightly stunned, he shook his head: "Why do you ask such a question?"

"He's been in a bad state recently, both physically and mentally. I figured it out, it seems to have started from the day Yang Zhongyuan broke into the set..."

Zhang Yue paused here, with a hesitant tone: "Mr. Gu, I don't mean anything else. Yang Zhongyuan and you are your private affairs, but as Shen Huai's manager, I am very worried about him, so I asked him Don't say it again."

Gu Han was a little worried.

He pressed the Jingming acupoint, shook his head slightly, and chuckled: "Actually, I also noticed it, but he was quite normal when he was on the set, except for me..."

His voice gradually became softer.

"I might have said something inappropriate that day." He laughed at himself. "If you hadn't said that today, I would have thought he was angry at me for being scolded by you."

"I don't dare to scold him." Zhang Yue waved his hand, "But Mr. Gu, you may not know that this kid has just entered the industry and regards you as a goal and treats you like a god."

Gu Hanshi nodded: "I heard him say a little bit, but maybe..." It's not that exaggerated, is it?

"Did you know he also joined your fan club?"

For some reason, Zhang Yue suddenly felt the desire to share. She took out her mobile phone and found several photos of the crowdfunding birthday celebrations that Gu Hanshi's supporters organize for him every year on his birthday.

"It's not convenient for Shen Huai to show up to participate, but he contributed money and ideas, and none of them was left behind. He has been looking forward to your comeback and dreamed of cooperating with you one day. So that's why I didn't stop him from taking over the "Artificial Intelligence" "One of the reasons."

Gu Hanshi was a little dazed when he heard it, as if he was suddenly hit with a hammer.

He heard Shen Huai say that he was his fan before, but he didn't think too deeply about it, he just regarded it as an ordinary passer-by fan.

Listening to what Zhang Yue said now, think about what he said to Shen Huai that day...

I'm such an asshole...

like a heartbroken...

Always hurt people's sincerity.

This burst of guilt... What's going on?

======

Zhang Yue drove back to the company. As soon as the car stopped in the parking lot, she saw Shen Huai, who was wearing a black mask, walking over with a gloomy expression.

Shen Huai opened the door and sat on the co-pilot, then took off the mask.

Zhang Yue was taken aback for a moment: "You face is so red? Didn't you have a fever?"

As she spoke, she was about to reach out to touch Shen Huai's forehead, but Shen Huai raised his hand to push her hand away.

Zhang Yue straightened her face immediately: "What's your attitude?"

"Let me ask you, did you go to Gu Hanshi? What did you say to him?"

"I do not……"

"Don't deny it, I've heard people talk about it, you're fine, let people inquire about Gu Hanshi's itinerary. You went out so early just to meet by chance, right?"

"Don't speak too harshly! Aren't I doing this for you?!" Zhang Yue honked the horn angrily.

Shen Huai was silent.

The last time he did to Yang Zhongyuan, Yang Zhongyuan naturally didn't let him go.

There was no movement on the surface, but a lot of small tricks were done secretly, which brought a lot of trouble to him, Zhang Yue, and the company.

Zhang Yue has a violent temper, and she has already held back her stomach.

But seeing that Shen Huai has not been very energetic, and he still has a cold and fever from time to time, it seems that in just one month, he will have all the illnesses that have not occurred in the past 20 years, so I am not ashamed to say more about him.

"Sister Yue, I'm afraid you'll be impulsive."

"Yang Zhongyuan, that bastard!" Zhang Yue slammed the steering wheel hard.

Just as Shen Huai was about to say something, Zhang Yue glanced at him quickly: "Don't worry, I didn't say anything. I just heard that the relationship between you and Gu Han was a bit tense recently, and I wanted to ease it up for you. Big change, your popularity has been quite high in the past two years, but it hasn't continued to rise. You can't be pinched by people like Yang Zhongyuan because of trivial matters. Gu Hanshi's popularity has returned after so many years, and his popularity has returned. You have a good relationship with him, and there is no harm. And your movie will be finished soon, and the next drama he will take...is very powerful."

Shen Huai immediately interfaced: "I don't want to rub his heat."

"Then you have to be able to catch up." Zhang Yue rolled her eyes and waved her hand, "Come on, let Zhaozhao go buy some medicine. Don't you have an advertisement this afternoon?"

Zhang Yue drove Shen Huai away, and Shen Huai didn't realize it until he got into his own car in a daze, and forgot to ask Zhang Yue how he "settled the relationship" with Gu Hanshi.

If Zhang Yue is purely talking softly, or even apologizing or something...

Hey, I feel aggrieved just thinking about it.

And to what extent is it relaxed?

What attitude will he use next time we meet?

He can't do things like putting a hot face on a cold butt.

======

Gu Hanshi closed the script, and then took off the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

The house is very quiet, only the sound of the clock can be heard.

Gu Hanshi stared at the clock for a while, and when the second hit 12, the doorbell rang on time.

He pulled on his slippers to open the door, and then saw Gu Yucong standing at the door.

The young boy's eyebrows and eyes are similar to Gu Hanshi's, and he wears the same style of black-rimmed glasses as his, but Gu Yucong's glasses are flat and purely decorative.

Although the weather has been spring for a long time, there are still not many people running around in short sleeves at night.

Gu Hanshi glanced at Gu Yucong's bare arms, and said lightly, "Be careful of catching a cold."

Gu Yucong touched his nose, bent over to put on slippers and walked in.

"We have agreed before, but I want to remind you again. You can stay here, but my room and study cannot be entered casually. The kitchen and bathroom must be restored to their original state after use. You can do it yourself, and you can't bring anyone with you. Come here, including hourly workers. Got it?"

Gu Yucong nodded and asked, "Then can I order takeaway?"

"No."

"Okay." The boy reluctantly opened his hands to him, "Where's the key?"

"On the bedside table in your room."

Gu Hanshi is usually a taciturn person, and he has no extra interest in this half-brother who has no feelings for him.

After explaining a few words briefly, he sat back on the sofa, put on his glasses and began to read the script.

Gu Yucong was still packing his luggage. It was only a small twenty-inch suitcase, and he repeatedly "opened" and "closed" it a dozen times.

The sound is not small.

Gu Hanshi rubbed his temples, didn't read a single word, and began to regret that he didn't set the overlord clause of "no more than XX decibels".

In fact, he didn't want Gu Yucong to come over.

Gu Yucong University is far away from his home, but it is close to his home.The boy was spoiled. Not long after entering the university, he complained about the poor quality of his roommates and the poor dormitory environment. Zhang Xiaoyuan and Gu Weiguo rented him a house next to the school.

I used to live well, but the landlord suddenly wanted to sell the house.

Gu Yucong is very picky, and it is difficult to find a suitable house again for a while, so he came to him for help.

Xiongzi is very smart, knowing that Gu Hanshi always has unbreakable false politeness to his parents, so he killed him through his parents.

Sure enough, Gu Hanshi didn't say "no", but his attitude was lukewarm.

Gu Yucong tossed and tossed for a long time and finally there was no movement. Just as Gu Hanshi read a few lines, Gu Yucong ran out of the room and went into the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water.

Gu Yucong poured himself a cup, and walked out of the kitchen with it in his hand. After walking a few steps, when he looked at Gu Han, he returned to the kitchen and poured him a cup as well.

"Thank you. I don't drink plain water." Gu Hanshi turned his pen around and looked up at him.

"Huh? Then what do you drink?"

"Coffee and wine."

"Can those things be drunk as water? Brother, I really admire you."

Gu Yucong made a fuss, sitting on the sofa next to Gu Hanshi, he seemed to want to chat with him to the end.

Gu Hanshi thought about this kid's first day here, he probably talked a lot, and he couldn't read the script anymore, so he just let go and threw it on the tea table in front of him, and went back to the bathroom to take a shower.

This bath took a long time.

After washing, he didn't even button up the bathrobe, so he was startled by Gu Yucong.

After being stunned for a moment, Gu Hanshi quickly walked forward and grabbed the script from his hand.

"what are you doing?"

Gu Yucong stood up and looked at him with an embarrassed expression: "Brother, is this your next movie?"

Gu Hanshi didn't answer him, but said coldly: "From now on, don't move my things around."

"No... I said you don't accept this movie, it's too..." Gu Yucong's ears turned red, and he looked embarrassed.

"None of your business. Just mind yourself."

After Gu Hanshi finished speaking, he returned to his room with the script, and slammed the door behind him with a "bang".

Gu Yucong froze in place alone, and after a while, he sighed softly.

======

The news that Gu Hanshi had accepted the filming of the movie "Cicada Sound" came out on a very ordinary Monday.

At first it was just a gossip, but before noon, Gu Hanshi's company and the movie's official Weibo made an official announcement about it.

All of a sudden, there was an uproar.

Shen Huai was among those who were astonished.

"Cicada Sound" was a movie he had rejected a long time ago. At that time, he said "no" without much consideration.

The subject matter of this movie is sensitive. It tells the story of a gay couple. There are many passionate scenes in it, which are far from his image, positioning, and development path.

Moreover, making a movie of this kind of subject matter, no matter whether it has a good or bad box office reputation, has disadvantages.

If the filming is poor, people complain about it, but if the filming is good, it is difficult to escape from the character image.

Furthermore, the director of this movie is a Chinese-American. In the early years, it was reported that he came out in the closet while in school, but he denied it afterwards.

It's just that the business level is not bad, the works are few but fine, and none of them hit the street.

But with Gu Hanshi's status, it's too risky to accept this movie.

It's not that he doesn't have TV series and movies to watch, so why is he so hungry?

Or... is he really... confused?

The more Shen Huai thought about it, the more annoying he became, and the more annoying he felt, the more he felt like a moaning old woman.

Gu Hanshi had already said before, let him not meddle in his own business.

He also eats radish salty and doesn't worry about it!

Shen Huai's will has never been firm. Although he had made up his mind before to ignore Gu Hanshi's affairs, but the next day, when the production team wrapped up dinner and saw Gu Hanshi, he still couldn't hold back. .

The place chosen by the crew to celebrate the finale was in a large box in a well-known hotel in the city. The seats were arranged according to the roles of the actors and the coffee seats. Gu Hanshi, the third male, was "fortunately" seated next to the leading male Shen Huai.

After meeting and chatting with Zhang Yue at Starbucks that day, Shen Huai's attitude towards him softened a lot the next day.

It wasn't as warm as before, but at least it didn't make Gu Hanshi feel an uncomfortable sense of distance.

The people around, except for Gu Hanshi and Shen Huai, were all whispering to each other.

The filming took more than three months, and the time was not too long, and there was a deadlock in the middle of the filming. Actresses like Xiang Weitian have a lot of things to do in the crew, and they are not easy to take care of. Anyway, let’s not talk about filming No matter what the effect is, it is considered a merit after shooting.

Gu Hanshi was peeling shrimp with a knife and fork, and he was very skilled. When he was halfway through the peeling, he suddenly turned his head and asked Shen Huai, "Do you want to eat?"

Shen Huai originally wanted to ask him about the movie in a state of confusion, but at this moment Gu Hanshi suddenly called out and was stunned: "What?"

Gu Hanshi smiled, and put a whole prawn that had been peeled into a small dish with sauce and vinegar in front of him.

Shen Huai: "..."

Shen Huai: "???"

Shen Huai: "!!!"

The lights in the box were a little dim, and the voices of people talking around were mixed with laughter from time to time.

Everyone is very focused on chatting with others. At this moment, no one pays attention to them.

Gu Hanshi's eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, clean, pure and harmless.

It was hard to believe that he would say such cold words to himself that day.

Shen Huai twitched the corners of his mouth, trying to laugh, but suddenly he couldn't laugh.

He tightened his jaw, quickly glanced at Gu Hanshi, and said in a low voice, "Come out with me."

imperative sentence.

Gu Hanshi raised his eyebrows in surprise, and looked at the back of Shen Huai leaving quickly.

This little curly hair still dares to order him...

Tsk, I am patient.

He bowed his head and smiled suddenly, and stood up too.
