Be careful

Chapter 21

When Pope came home, there was no one there, so he went to the rooftop instead, and found that Zhong Xinyang was really curled up on the sofa.

The awnings are all open, the starry sky is blocked by the light of the city, the air is dull, and there is not even a breath of wind.

Populus could not help but think of Muchi's hometown, the pond full of insects and frogs, and the night breeze and bright moonlight.

"Come and eat the watermelon." Populus smiled and held up the watermelon in his arms to Zhong Xinyang, "The boss said that we will have to wait until next year when this wave is sold out."

Zhong Xinyang shifted his gaze from the book to the face of Poplar, a small flying insect circled around the reading lamp he clamped on the book.

"Is everything going well?" Zhong Xinyang couldn't hear any emotion in his voice.

Populus put down the watermelon, went home, and brought up a knife and spoon from the kitchen.Then, following Zhong Xinyang's habit, he split the watermelon in half, and each of them dug in half to eat.

Zhong Xinyang was not polite either, he roughly turned off the small light on the book shelf, took it down and threw it aside, and put the book on the sofa with his backhand.

Seeing that it was no longer "Jianyue", Pu Li felt a little more relaxed.

"Thank you!" Populus said to Zhong Xinyang, "I heard from the assistant director that you took the initiative to call Andrew and recommended me to audition for this role."

"Hmph." Zhong Xinyang curled his lips, "Understood, I just bought a watermelon."

Populus noticed that Zhong Xinyang was in a good mood, and found that he had also removed the gauze from his wrist.

"Sweet?" Populus pretended not to hear, squeezed into the sofa with a smile, and sat shoulder to shoulder with Zhong Xinyang.

Zhong Xinyang ate melons silently, and returned after a long time: "The person you like is really not me, hey, of course it can't be me."

"What are you talking about?"

"Do you still remember what happened after seeing Mu Chi in the western restaurant that day?" Zhong Xinyang dug a large spoonful of watermelon and stuffed it into his mouth. The juice flowed out, and he wiped it off with his scarred wrist. Mu Chi is so excited, he must be thinking that I have an affair with him, right?"

"Hmm..." Populus ate the melon, slurring his speech.

"I could tell right away, you, you either like Mu Chi or you like me, you understand that kind of liking."

"Cough cough..."

"What are you pretending to be? It's not that I don't know you're gay." Zhong Xinyang gradually changed back to his old self. "It turns out that I like him. I still want to give up that old scumbag Jerry and fall in love with you!"

"Cough cough..." Poplar really choked on melon seeds, blushed and coughed continuously.

"Okay," Zhong Xinyang put the half of the watermelon, which he dug out the heart of the melon, on the small table, stood up and did a chest stretching exercise on the carpet where the poplar oak used to practice dancing, "I haven't seen you all night, so I call 'Xiaochi' Brother, did you go to open a room last night?"

"Hmm..." Pu Li had just cleared his throat, when he heard Zhong Xinyang's words, he accidentally choked again and continued to cough.

"All right, all right," Zhong Xinyang yawned and turned around, snickering, "Go back to sleep."

Pu Li thought to himself, he couldn't explain why now, but seeing the smiling face of Zhong Xinyang when he stepped down from the roof at the end, he didn't want to chase after him to explain.

Pusher casually grabbed the book left by Zhong Xinyang, Hesse's "Siddhartha", it seemed that this person was really going to get out of the unhappiness of the previous period.

He smiled, stopped coughing, ate watermelon bit by bit, and looked at the pretended stars.

Before going to bed at night, Populus sent a message to Mu Chi, saying that the audition went well.

In fact, after the audition, Populus wanted to send him a message, but he never thought about what to say.Now, after seeing Zhong Xinyang's reaction, he can finally use the word "smooth", and he feels much better physically and mentally.

Mu Chi also quickly replied to him: "Understood, the rest of the company will be responsible for follow-up, you should prepare well."

Pu Li was thinking about what he could send to Mu Chi, when he saw another message from the other party: "Go to bed early, good night."

"Brother Xiaochi, good night." Pu Li returned, feeling extremely warm in his heart, but he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Zhong Xinyang was pulled up by him to chat.Since the "suicide incident" some time ago, Zhong Xinyang has been unilaterally refusing to talk to Populus, so Populus is careful in everything and tries to follow Zhong Xinyang's wishes.

Tonight, he was really happy and a little presumptuous.He grabbed Zhong Xinyang from the bed, and directly placed a pillow on the left and right side of the person, forcing him to "sit".

Zhong Xinyang's sleepiness was interrupted, he was stunned for a moment, then regained his energy, and simply made up for the words he hadn't worn out during this period of time.

This time, no one has to take the other into consideration, just keep pouring out what they want to say.

"Chestnut, do you know that I'm almost suffocating these few days, and I really want to eat the claypot rice under the apartment where I used to live. Look at what you buy for me every day? Is that called rice? It's not as good as what you did..."

"Xin Yang, let me tell you, the film and television base is so big, it is all owned by Xinghe, and there are other companies filming there. You know, Mr. Mu is very popular, and he is greeted everywhere. people……"

A week later, Pu Li officially received a notice from Xinghe, asking him to adjust his status as soon as possible to report to the crew of "Jianyue".On Weibo's trending search on the same day, a topic of "Mysterious hero is in place, "Jianyue" will start soon" quietly climbed onto the trending search list.

Two days later, Feng Rui came to Pu Li's house, helped him pack his luggage, and left a sum of money for Zhong Xinyang, reminding him to remember to help pay the water and electricity property fees, and then the two of them drove to Xinghe Film and Television Base to report.

The next day was the official opening ceremony of "Jianyue".Because it was filmed in China and Andrew is a fan of China, he made various totems representing Chinese elements magically on the scene.

It was the first time for Populus to participate in the opening ceremony, and he was at the end of the crowd.

Mu Chi had just arrived, and he was dressed in a well-made suit. He shook hands with Andrew and his party first, then he put his arm around Poplar's shoulders and led him to the center of the crowd.

"You are the male lead, have you forgotten?" Mu Chi lowered his head and whispered into Pu Yue's ear, with a smile in his voice.

Pu Li's ears felt uncomfortably scratched by Mu Chi's voice, but his eyes were full of excitement and excitement. He nodded with a smile, then followed the direction Mu Chi directed, and stood with another actor.

Cameras, video cameras are shooting at them from all directions.

Pu Li and Mu Chi are very close. From a certain angle, the cuffs of the two tall and straight men touch the cuffs, as if they are holding hands.

Unsurprisingly, the hot search for ""Jianyue" boot" rose rapidly as soon as it appeared.

The Weibo that had been quiet for a few months became lively again. A group of people asked if the mysterious male protagonist of "Jianyue" was him under the topic @ him.

Pu Li asked Feng Rui, and after getting his consent, he reposted the official blog of the film crew on Weibo, saying ""Thank you everyone, please take care of me in the next few months", which is regarded as an acknowledgment.

People who are familiar with the entertainment industry know about the fact that Pu Li was picked up by Xinghe only half a year after he came out of Daming, but because there were no substantive activities, fans didn't know about it.

When this Weibo post was sent out, the supporters of Puli could be regarded as elated.One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and that night there was an additional topic on Weibo, "the mysterious hero of "Jianyue", Pu Li".

"Jianyue" was already famous, and everyone in the circle of young people knew it. The choice of the protagonist has long been a topic of discussion. As soon as the news of Pu Li playing the leading role was released, there was a lot of noise on the Internet.

Some said, "What qualifications do you have to play Chen Sheng if you are caught in a scandal", and some said, "Since Pu Li was favored by Xinghe, he must have been framed. Xinghe always pays attention to the quality of artists."

Populus cat looked on the Internet for a while, and felt pressured because it had everything to say.

That night, Mu Chi stayed at the base, and the chef specially recruited from the century-old restaurant "Yinghe Tower" carefully cooked a kick-off banquet for them, which was grand and distinctive.After that, he took Populus and several other mid-night minor artists under his banner to toast Andrew and his party according to the Chinese-style wine table etiquette.

Andrew likes this very much. He is fascinated by the mysterious Chinese culture, and he wants to experience everything, regardless of the dross and the good.

After the meal, Mu Chi was a little tipsy, so he stopped Populus on the way to the hotel.

"They will call me if they treat you badly in the future."

When Pu Li heard that Mu Chi was a little drunk, staring at him with a rare playful look, he was happy and nodded.

"Act well, this is after I came to Xinghe

The first major production is entrusted to you. "

Pu Li knew that the "you" that Mu Chi said included many people, but at this moment he seemed to feel that Mu Chi had placed a heavy burden on his shoulders, and nodded vigorously.

Pu Li looked around and saw Mu Chi's assistant, and Mu Chi wavered again, unable to bear to let him go alone like this, and asked: "Brother Xiaochi, let me take you up."

Mu Chi smiled, and stretched out his hand to motion for Pu Li to support him: "Okay."

In the elevator, Mu Chi leaned against the elevator with his back, and Pu Li spread his arms around Mu Chi's side, fearing that he would fall if he didn't pay attention. .

After getting out of the elevator, Pu Li got the room card from Mu Chi and went to the room marked on the card.

Push open the door, insert the room card, the room is lit up, it is a very spacious and bright suite.The decoration style is simple yet elegant, and a faint fragrance of lilies blows to the face.

Pu Li put Mu Chi on the sofa, after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong, helped Mu Chi take off his outer suit, went to the bathroom to warm up a towel, and wiped Mu Chi's face and hands.

"Brother Xiaochi, why don't you take a shower and sleep after a short rest?" Pu Li asked.

Mu Chi gave a "hmm" and raised his hand to pull the tie, but his hands were soft and weak.

Populus saw it and hurried to help him.He took off his tie and simply undid the top buttons of his shirt.

Mu Chi took a deep breath, looking really uncomfortable, the smell of alcohol sprayed on Pu Quer's body, making people almost drunk from the smell.

"Help me take off my shirt, it hurts from itching." Mu Chi raised his neck, leaning his head on the back of the sofa, with his Adam's apple rising and falling under his jaw, showing a masculine charm.

Seeing Mu Chi like this, Pu Li couldn't help swallowing dryly, fingers down, and the buttons were undone one by one.

Populus is still getting along with a man at such a close distance, although he knows that he likes this man and can only do it silently in his heart, but he can't restrain himself from fantasizing about some obscene pictures.

"Get up." Pushing off the pure white shirt, a piece of naked skin was exposed.

"Ah!" Immediately, he let out a loud scream, and quickly raised his head to look at Mu Chi.

Mu Chi's chest was covered in large patches of red, like animal scratches that had faded away.

"It's okay," Mu Chi turned his body slightly, pulled down his sleeves, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said, "It's just a little allergic to alcohol."

"You know that you are allergic to alcohol, but you still drink so much?" Pu Yue was surprised, and quickly called Feng Rui on his mobile phone, asking him if there was any anti-allergic medicine there.

"It's okay, I'm used to it, there's no other reaction, just a little itchy, it'll be fine after a while." Mu Chi smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled the Poplar to the sofa beside him, and leaned his head against the back of the sofa.

Pu Li just sat there blankly, feeling Mu Chi's breathing, waited for the other party to fall asleep, carried him to the bed, took off the rest of his clothes, and covered him with a quilt.

It was the first time for Pu Yue to witness someone who was allergic to alcohol, so he didn't dare to leave easily, so he planned to make do with the sofa in the living room for the night, so that he could take care of Mu Chi when he felt unwell.

He lay in a strange place and couldn't sleep, Mu Chi's shirt was still draped over the back of the sofa, so he got up and folded the shirt, and then curiously sniffed the strong smell of alcohol and Mu Chi's special cologne on the shirt .

After smelling it for a while, he seemed to realize that this kind of behavior was a bit abnormal, and he put the shirt on the small square table less than half a meter above his head, and used his mobile phone to check various things that need attention for alcohol allergies.
