Chapter 62: Seeing Through It But Not Saying It
Chapter 62: Seeing Through It But Not Saying It
Zhou Ye ate until she was completely stuffed, and her belly got bigger.
"Brother Gu, this hot pot restaurant is so delicious! Don't invite me next time, or my manager will tell me to go on a diet."
In January, the weather in Chongqing is perfect for enjoying hot pot.
"You won't gain weight if you eat two fewer fried eggs."
"I don't believe you for a second."
Gu Luojin helped Zhou Ye back to her hotel room and then brought her some digestive tablets.
"Eat two tablets to aid digestion."
"it is good."
Then she left her room, a scene witnessed by the little yellow duck.
She wondered if their relationship was limited to just being friends.
Huang Xiaoya knocked on Zhou Ye's door and continued to inquire about the situation from her.
"Xiao Ye, I'm your senior, may I come in?"
"Senior, please come in."
……
Gu Luojin, who had just closed the door, received a crying emoji from Zhang Jingyi.
"Brother Gu, I wasn't selected, so I can't work with you this time."
He was powerless to do anything about it; the competition between the two companies was none of his business as a minor celebrity.
He could only comfort her, saying, "It's okay, there will be other opportunities next time."
"Is that woman feeling smug right now, having outshone me?"
He didn't see Zhou Ye showing off: "Xiao Ye didn't mention this."
"Sure enough, she didn't even mention it; she must think I'm not as good as her."
what……
No, why do women's ways of thinking always seem so strange?
"Brother Gu, don't worry, I'm working hard. Once I become famous, I definitely want to act in a movie with you."
In the entertainment industry, most leading ladies are merely decorative figures; male actors almost always choose which actresses to work with, and it's rare to see actresses taking the initiative.
That's why we sometimes see popular young actresses paired with unattractive male actors in TV dramas. This is the reason behind it: female stars' commercial value is still not as high as that of male stars.
The only one is Jing Tian. Now you understand how valuable this rich woman is.
Gu Luojin didn't want to discourage her. Young people all have dreams and passions, but they only realize the harsh reality once they enter society.
"Okay, Brother Gu, I'll wait for your news. No matter what level of resources it is, I'll play along."
"Brother Gu, you're so kind."
Xiaohua is so easy to fool. He didn't even have to use any of his "scumbag" lines; she just jumped right into his trap.
Zhang Jingyi's favorability rating is 85.
This coincides with the arrival of Zhou Ye, and the two have barely even met a few times.
This time, her arch-nemesis is filming with Gu Luojin. No matter what kind of sparks fly, it will definitely develop faster than her previous relationship with Gu Luojin.
The oppressive feeling brought by Zhou Ye, whom she disliked, made Zhang Jingyi increasingly aware of the constraints Zhou Xun placed on her in relationships.
The prolonged high pressure intensified her rebellious spirit, and all it took was a trigger for her to explode.
……
The little yellow duck's probing made Zhou Ye seriously suspect that she might be trying to pursue Gu Luojin.
After Gu Luojin noticed, since they couldn't afford to offend him for the time being, they chose to distance themselves.
The more Zhou Ye thought about it, the more it matched her guess. After the little yellow duck left, Zhou Ye went to knock on Gu Luojin's door.
Wang Lu opened the door for him: "Hello, Sister Lu."
"Brother Gu, he's playing a game right now, why don't you come over?"
Gu Luojin was playing King of Glory when Zhou Ye couldn't wait to tell him everything she had discovered.
"Brother Gu, you didn't realize she wanted to pursue you, that's why you distanced yourself, did you?"
Xiao Ye is good in every way, except she doesn't understand the principle of seeing through things but not saying them.
"Don't overthink it, I didn't mean that."
This kind of thing is better left unsaid; if someone overhears and it gets back to Little Yellow Duck, then he'll be the culprit who stirred up discord among the actors.
No production crew likes actors who cause trouble, especially those where Little Yellow Duck is the go-to leading lady.
One must be cautious in one's conduct.
Anyone can offend Little Yellow Duck, but he can't. He can forgo his salary, but he can't give up the Best Actor nomination.
Currently, neither the top stars nor the rising young actors have won Best Actor awards, not even a nomination.
If he obtains it, his name will be etched in the history books of the Chinese entertainment industry for generations to come.
Seeing that Gu Luojin didn't say anything and was just playing games, Zhou Ye, who had lost interest, stopped asking and waited to see how things would develop.
She then joined Gu Luojin's team, and the two battled it out in the world of Honor of Kings until 10 p.m.
Another female celebrity who prefers to stay in Gu Luojin's room rather than her own.
Even a dog would shake its head at the sight of this.
Wang Lu knew she should give up her position and let the two of them perform.
Sweating profusely, Zhou Ye glanced at the time and saw it was 10 o'clock: "Brother Gu, I have to go back now. Let's fight again tomorrow."
Gu Luojin did not ask her to stay, and Wang Lu, who had gotten up, sat down again.
……
"Brother Gu, aren't you staying?"
"Xiaolu, after all these years, have you ever reflected on yourself? Have you ever put your heart and soul into your career?"
"It's very difficult for me. If I had worked harder to become a top agent, I would have been a top star long ago."
That's all I have to say. Think about it yourself.
After saying that, Gu Luojin went to the bathroom to take a shower and prepare to go to bed.
She was unjustly blamed and had no way to refute it.
She felt like she was being CPU-bound.
She tried her best. Gu Luojin's failure to become a movie star wasn't entirely her fault.
Yang Ying has a top agent and a wealthy husband in the industry. It took a lot of money and resources to push her, who had no representative works, to the top of the female star list.
And what does he have? He's handsome, and his only representative work is, so far, just barely.
"Brother Gu, I think what you said is wrong."
No, he didn't want to think about it anymore, he just wanted to sleep.
……
Back in her room, Zhou Ye couldn't sleep and lay on the bed lost in thought.
How can I help Gu Luojin get away from the harassment of the little yellow duck?
Lost in thought, she fell asleep.
……
The next morning, Zhou Ye, yawning, met Gu Luojin at the door, who had just returned from exercising.
"Good morning, Brother Gu."
"Good morning." Upon seeing Gu Luojin's slightly exposed muscles, Zhou Ye, whose eyes had been unfocused just moments before, seemed to be looking at a fine work of art.
To Gu Luojin's surprise, Zhou Ye couldn't help but touch him.
That's ridiculous.
This was a privilege that even Zhang Jingyi had never enjoyed. She had only glanced at it a few times and had been trying to touch it but hadn't found a good opportunity.
Zhou Ye touched it and felt it was hard. Unsure, she touched it again and came to a conclusion.
"Brother Gu, I didn't know your muscles were so big and so hard."
He has even bigger and harder ones, but it's not convenient to show them.
"Hey, hey, hey, have you touched enough?"
Xiao Ye then withdrew her salted pig's trotter.
"Brother Gu, you're too stingy. You've touched quite a few pieces of flesh."
He's stingy? Then you'll never find a generous person again.
When will a man truly stand up? He's trembling with anger and cold!
"Then an equal exchange?"
"Brother Gu, I'm your ex-girlfriend's best friend, and also your junior from school. How could you have such thoughts about me?"
"How can you do this to Sister Meng?"
Shen Jin, he did nothing.
Gu Luojin raised his hands in surrender. If he hadn't known how much Zhou Ye liked him, he would have been intimidated by her bluffing words.
After Gu Luojin entered the room, Zhou Ye felt a sense of relief, and the "okay" she had just said was almost out of her mouth.
She slammed on the brakes, stopping them from doing something that would have offended Sister Meng.
I breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the film set.
She felt she had done right by her best friend, but she was also worried that her behavior had embarrassed Gu Luojin.
"Brother Gu, please don't hold a grudge against me."
The more you worry about something, the more things tend to develop in the direction you fear.
"Brother Gu, I brought you breakfast, do you want some?"
When Gu Luojin arrived at the film set, she pretended to ignore Zhou Ye and didn't eat the breakfast she had brought.
Zhou Ye felt incredibly remorseful for her actions that morning: "Brother Gu, you're so magnanimous. Please forgive me, considering this is my first offense."
The little yellow duck's gaze swept over the two of them. So many things happened in just one night?
The two were inseparable the day before, having dinner together, but the next day, Zhou Ye began to apologize.
"Xiao Ye, what's wrong?"
"Senior, it's okay. I just angered Brother Gu. I'll appease him in a bit."
Although all three were from the Beijing Film Academy, they only came into contact through this film.
As an outsider, she couldn't very well interfere in the playful fight between the two friends.
Zhou Ye unleashed her trump card; no one could withstand her move.
However, showing it in front of so many people made her feel extremely ashamed.
"Brother, don't be angry, okay?"
What's the difference between hearing Zhou Ye call him "brother" and hearing Sister Meng sing?
Gu Luojin got goosebumps all over: "Stop calling me, Xiao Ye, I'm begging you."
Seeing that her method was effective, Zhou Ye's pretty face instantly lit up with a smile.
"Brother Gu, you're not angry with me anymore?"
"I wasn't angry with you at all, I was just teasing you."
"Hmph." The arrogant puppy is back for a limited time.
