Gentle Beast [Entertainment Circle]

Chapter 23 - underground river



twenty three

Ye Liuying got drunk with Wu Pei and Wen Renzhao that night.

They are not the type who don’t get drunk after drinking a dozen beers. They collapsed together and fell asleep.

The early sunlight slipped into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

Light and shadow floated in the small bedroom, and tiny dust could be vaguely seen.

Ye Liuying squinted sleepily and regained consciousness first.

She was sleeping peacefully, but now Wu Pei was holding her arms tightly, and even holding her calf on top of her, she muttered, “You… you are not allowed to leave!”

I don’t know what drama Wu Pei in the dream is playing.

Ye Liuying was completely awake.

She closed her eyes and opened them again, carefully removing Wu Pei’s hands and feet from her.

After doing this, Ye Liuying sighed and got up from the bed.

Wen Renzhao, the master, slept alone on the sofa bed.

She was wrapped in a light velvet quilt and huddled with her back to herself, revealing only her long soft curly hair.

Afraid of waking them up, Ye Liuying tiptoed out of the room slowly.

The feeling of a hangover is anything but wonderful.

Although Ye Liuying didn’t enter the kitchen many times, it was no problem to make a porridge with bubble tea.

She simply cooked red bean and barley porridge, then found materials such as lemon, apple and rose tea in the refrigerator and cabinet, and neatly brewed a pot of fruit tea.

Wen Renzhao’s apartment was the place the company arranged for her.

Located on the twenty-sixth floor of a high-end residential area, the third bedroom has a wide field of vision and a small and fresh British pastoral style, which is enough for her to live alone.

As a fledgling rookie actor, Wen Renzhao’s treatment is not too bad.

Wen’s father and Wen’s mother are both middle school teachers. Although they are only at a well-off level, they will not be a drag on her.

I heard that she has recently started to buy a house, and her life wisdom will get better and better in the future.

Ye Liuying sat in front of the windowsill, staring at the quiet city outside the window in a daze.

She yearns for a well-known family, but this ordinary happiness is too extravagant for her.

After a while, Wen Renzhao pressed his temple and walked out of the room.

The after-effects of the hangover hadn’t disappeared, and her mind was so chaotic, “Why are you so early?”

“Come here for some tea.” Ye Liuying smiled, walked over and poured a cup of scented tea and handed it to her.

Wen Renzhao sat down on the high chair in front of the Nakajima stage obediently.

She drooped her head and took a sip from the ceramic cup Ye Liuying handed over, “Pei Pei fell asleep, and I heard her whimper when I woke up.”

Ye Liuying thought of Wu Pei, who was sleeping wildly, and also complained: “Most of her dreams are about handsome guys, and she is still talking in her sleep.”

“I really envy Pei Pei.” Wen Renzhao said suddenly with emotion.

She put a ball on her head casually, her little face was bright and elegant, and she could vaguely see the dimples around her mouth.

“What’s the matter with you, Shiyan?” Ye Liuying asked casually.

Wen Renzhao was a little stunned when he heard the name.

She held the cup in both hands, and her tone was also light and unrealistic, “He said he had nothing to do with Mo Yan, it was Mo Yan’s team that was messing with him.”

“Then why did he break up with you?” Ye Liuying had a good impression of Shan Shiyan, but what happened later made her not like him.

After all, he and Wen Renzhao were indeed an enviable pair at the beginning.

“He drank too much at the finale banquet of “The Pearl in the Palm”, and was threatened by Mo Yan for taking intimate photos.” Wen Renzhao frowned, the impatience on his face could not be more obvious.

“Then they…?” Is there a relationship?

In front of Wen Renzhao, Ye Liuying was embarrassed to ask her in front of her.

“Probably not.” Wen Renzhao shook his head without any scruples and said, “He can’t stand up after drinking too much.”

“…” Seeing Wen Renzhao saying this with a pure face, Ye Liuying’s mood was a bit complicated.

She was stunned when she heard that Renzhao suddenly sighed happily, “Fortunately, cousin Meng doesn’t like me, otherwise I would have become a nuisance.”

Speaking of which, Meng Linzhou is indeed very popular.

However, the other party didn’t call her, and there was another Shan Shiyan holding her back.

Ye Liuying could understand Wen Renzhao’s thoughts, and agreed: “It’s really a pity.”

“What a pity?”

“It’s a pity that you can’t experience the happiness of a scumbag.” Ye Liuying raised her eyebrows, her pale brown eyes were stunned by the sunlight.

The more Wen Renzhao looked at Ye Liuying’s face, the more he liked it.

She held her cheeks and looked at her thoughtfully, “Then tell me what is your relationship with Shen Xingzhou?”

“What can I do with him?”

Ye Liuying blinked innocently, but in her mind she couldn’t help but think of the frivolous and sloppy appearance of the man when he looked down at her.

“It’s hard to say how Shen Xingzhou is, but her face and figure are enough.” Wen Renzhao saw her absent-mindedness and said with admiration.

“?” What tiger and wolf words.

Ye Liuying’s ears turned red quietly, and being seen by Wen Renzhao was equivalent to admitting it in disguise.

But based on what she knew about Ye Liuying, she didn’t think she would really have anything with Shen Xingzhou.

“By the way.” Wen Renzhao finished drinking the scented tea in the cup, grabbed Ye Liuying’s arm and said, “The crew of “Accident and Emergency Room” lacks a female No. 3, do you want to try it? The portion is not small, and it is not much different from the second female.”

“Isn’t the third girl set?” Ye Liuying vaguely remembered that Wen Renzhao mentioned this in the group a few days ago.

Because it happened to be the direct primary school girl, they also inevitably acidified each other’s good resources.

“It is said that Director Li is dissatisfied with the investor, and Xue Bingqing is not willing to film this **** medical drama.”

Wen Renzhao didn’t know much about it, but the only thing that was certain was, “Speaking of this, Xue Bingqing’s resources are really powerful. It is said that she went directly to Lin Jibei’s big IP palace fighting drama to play the second female lead.”

“It’s like winning at the starting line.”

“Maybe you can play it in the later stage and be on an equal footing with the heroine.”

Ye Liuying and Xue Bingqing have met several times, and in the impression they are a pure and lovely little girl.

I can’t tell anything from the usual clothes, but I didn’t expect the background to be hidden so deeply.

“Don’t talk about her.” Wen Renzhao didn’t like Xue Bingqing, and after a few words, he got to the point, “Director Li’s audition is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and I’ll send you the audition footage.”

“Okay.” Ye Liuying didn’t refuse, “I’ll invite you to dinner later.”

She originally planned to go to the film and television city for a walk, but with Wen Renzhao’s help, she could rest for a day or two.

“Then I’ll wait for dinner.”

Wen Renzhao blinked at her, “We Ying can definitely do it.”

“Emergency Room” is director Li Zhaohui’s comeback.

He has not produced a work for many years. The last one was the urban drama “Waiting for Spring”, which was popular five years ago.

Li Zhaohui is in his early 40s this year. He is a rigid Zhou Zheng, and he cannot rub sand in his eyes.

That’s why there are rumors that Director Li is dissatisfied with Xue Bingqing, who has no qualifications and acting skills.

Ye Liuying checked Li Zhaohui’s information, spent another day practicing the audition clips, and set off to the audition location on time.

The subway is not crowded during off-peak hours.

In order to match the character in the play, she specially wore a suit and put on daily makeup.

Ye Liuying was used to the eyes of the people around her and didn’t feel uncomfortable.

She got off the subway and the phone in her pocket vibrated, interrupting her thoughts.

Strange call.

The number was so familiar that she was about to be memorized.

Shen Xingzhou.

“I have something to say.” Ye Liuying still didn’t have a good attitude towards him.

She put on her wireless earphones and followed the flow of people to the exit.

“Where are you?”

Shen Xingzhou on the other end of the phone asked with interest as he looked at the photo displayed on the screen.

The photo was taken when Xu Jingyi was on the subway.

He has fallen in love with public transportation since his driver’s license was revoked. Thanks to his idleness, he perfectly avoids the rush hour and has a good driving experience.

Meeting Ye Liuying was an exception.

Xu Jingyi has seen a lot of handsome subway guys and beauties on the Internet. The first time he met them today, he was inevitably a little embarrassed.

In the photo, she is wearing a goose-yellow suit, with a slender figure, and the exposed calf lines are slender and soft.

Seemingly aware that someone was taking a candid photo, she turned her head to look over, her makeup was exquisite, and her cold eyes were like a beam of light.

Shen Xingzhou just had time to find her, when he received Xu Jingyi’s photo.

So there is a reason to call her.

“Do you have many houses by the sea?”

The tube is so wide.

Ye Liuying’s tone was not good.

“It’s quite a lot.” Shen Xingzhou didn’t know what to think, and let out a low laugh.

His voice has always been good, even more so on headphones.

Ye Liuying frowned unconsciously, “I’ll hang up if I’m fine.”

Although she came early, it didn’t mean she was willing to use her spare time to talk nonsense with Shen Xingzhou.

The audition site is located in Jiangbei Art Park, a film and television company opened by Li Zhaohui and his partner.

The place is a bit out of the way, Ye Liuying didn’t meet many people when he got out of the subway.

Her sense of direction is not very good, and she had to work hard in the past.

“Don’t worry.” Shen Xingzhou said unhurriedly, “Didn’t you miss the audition last time? I can help you.”

Ye Liuying knew that Shen Xingzhou was going to be a demon again, so that such temptation could not make her hooked.

“What do you want?” she asked bluntly.

“do not you know?”

I want to do you don’t know?

Shen Xingzhou was more patient than he thought.

“…” Ye Liuying said nothing.

She stood in front of the sidewalk, and her bad feelings towards Shen Xingzhou seemed to have accumulated to a certain extent.

Shen Xingzhou was the opposite of her.

His slender fingers tapped the tabletop meaninglessly, and suddenly said, “Actually, I haven’t watched ‘Wild Rose’.”

“I know.” Ye Liuying smiled after hearing this.

Shen Xingzhou put his hands away, and suddenly felt a little regret that he couldn’t see her smiling face.

“Then I’ll watch it later.” He said erratically.

“No.” Ye Liuying refused without thinking.

Just as the green light came on, she glanced at the road conditions around her and walked over with her feet raised.

“I don’t mean anything else.” Shen Xingzhou’s hands stopped moving, and his laughing voice was unusually gentle, “Have you been wandering around the studio recently? I just happened to be a little curious about your acting.”

Good words came out of his mouth and became less serious.

Ye Liuying couldn’t think of what to say for a while, after all, she couldn’t stop him from watching.

She sighed silently, and before she could hang up the phone, she was hit by an electric car that was rushing in a detour.

The sudden change made Ye Liuying unable to react.

There was a tingling pain in her leg, and she fell to the ground with the shock, and the wireless earphones in her ears were thrown all the way.

“Hi.” Ye Liuying’s consciousness was still alive.

She frowned and struggled to sit up.

The culprit, the electric car driver, also fell to the ground.

The middle-aged man is overweight and can’t see his face clearly while wearing a safety helmet.

He was not seriously injured, and when he got up and saw the injury on Ye Liuying’s body, he panicked, “You…Are you okay?”

Ye Liuying’s crushed calf immediately became red and swollen.

The superimposed scratches were scratched by some sharp object, leaving a blood strip of about ten centimeters. The wound was not deep, but it looked particularly oozing.

The pain made Ye Liuying have no time to take care of other things.

She raised her eyebrows and looked over, but saw that the electric car driver took out a few large bills and a business card from her wallet, and then hurriedly picked up the car and rode away, “I’m sorry, I rushed time.”

There were few pedestrians passing by, only the young girl passing by saw Ye Liuying sitting on the ground and kindly stepped forward: “Are you okay?”

The girl’s dry lavender hair color is very eye-catching, with a few braids on the side, and her clean and energetic appearance is like the face of a certain girl group.

She stretched out her hand to Ye Liuying and slowly helped him up, “I’ll take you to the hospital for treatment of the wound. Slow down, I don’t know if it’s a broken bone.”

Facing the fair and delicate skin on Ye Liuying’s legs, no one wants to see flaws on it.

“Thank you…” Ye Liuying politely thanked her

The girl shook her head and put away the bag and pen and paper she had dropped on the ground, “Electric cars are too rampant now, no matter how anxious you are…”

Ye Liuying took the things over, thinking that she is really Mercury retrograde this year.

From the beginning of the year to now, nothing good has happened.

She took out her phone and wanted to say hello to the “ER” crew.

Shen Xingzhou’s phone has been hung up, and there is one more missed call.

Ye Liuying ignored her and directly called Zhang Zhaohui’s assistant to explain the accident on her side.

“Are you an actor?” The girl hung up the phone after hearing Ye Liuying’s words, her eyes lit up, “You are so beautiful, I have a hunch that you will definitely be popular.”

“I’ve borrowed your auspicious words.” Ye Liuying was infected by her smile, as if the pain in her body had eased a lot.

The girl’s name is Jiang Susu, and her family lives nearby.

Hearing that there was a hospital at the next intersection, the two walked forward slowly.

Ye Liuying walked slowly, Jiang Susu was not in a hurry, and chatted with her casually.

When she was about to arrive at the hospital, Ye Liuying’s cell phone rang again.

Or the enemy of Shen Xingzhou.

“Are you OK?”

When the call was connected, Shen Xingzhou’s words of concern were obviously much more anxious than usual, and Ye Liuying was a little absent-minded.

At least this moment.

His concerns were unfounded.

“…I’m fine.” Ye Liuying replied vaguely.

Shen Xingzhou didn’t believe it.

He just heard it clearly, and the voice didn’t seem to be okay.

God knows what **** scenes he has made up for.

“Where?” Shen Xingzhou asked her.

He paused for a moment and added, “Acacia Road?”

“How do you know?” Ye Liuying was stunned.

“Don’t worry about it.” Shen Xingzhou’s temper suddenly rose, “Just say where you are now.”

Ye Liuying got angry when she heard him, and reflexively reported the name of the hospital.

“Wait.”

After Shen Xingzhou finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

The author has something to say: ah, ah, wait for me!
