Chapter 25 "Don't be afraid."

Chu Min didn't close his eyes for most of the night last night, and finally fell asleep. He only slept lightly for two or three hours. As soon as it was dawn, he left the hotel before He Wenxiao woke up.

xksswy

He is not an evasive personality. Even if he doesn't take the initiative, he will never flinch. This is the first time. He is a little afraid to meet He Wenxiao, especially in a private space like a hotel suite where only two people meet.

If He Wenxiao was just one of the thousands of passersby who had plans for him, he wouldn't mind tearing his face directly, even if the jade and stone were burnt, he would make the other party regret what he had done.

But He Wenxiao didn't mean that to him.

Chu Min has lived for 28 years and has never been in such an embarrassing situation.

As Xiaobai said, he went to the studio early in the morning. The interiors there are just being set up. He walked in with the script in his hand, leaning against the bleak morning light, facing the Qingyashan Council Hall, which was as majestic as the main hall, but didn't read a single line.

Fortunately, after wasting time, Chu Min figured it out.

Being in the same crew, meeting is always inevitable, just like an arrow that leaves the string, the only way to go is to shoot this way, you can't look ahead.

He wasn't the only one who was embarrassed anyway.

Chu Min said heartily.

He Wenxiao just met her boyfriend who had been away for more than half a month yesterday, and he made a mistake in that kind of thing that night. When he came back to his senses, it was probably even more difficult than him.

Thinking like this, he finally regained some balance in his heart. When he entered the dressing room at noon, he happened to meet He Wenxiao who had already done makeup.

At the moment when the eyes collided, Chu Min instinctively wanted to stagger, but found that He Wenxiao was staring at him and would not let go. Looking at him, his eyes seemed to be bright and eager, not like the previous days. Indifferent, and without the terrifying hostility of last night.

Chu Min was a little stunned by his inexplicable eyes, and suddenly became vigilant, not knowing what medicine he was selling in the gourd.

He Wenxiao was wearing Bai Luoyang's iconic dull black clothes at the moment, his long hair was meticulously hanging down his temples, and his handsome face had sword eyebrows and star eyes. He smiled lightly, but he lost some of Bai Luoyang's steadiness, instead he looked a bit like a cynical playboy.

The makeup artist was on the phone outside, and He Wenxiao was the only one in the dressing room.

Chu Min was still hesitating at the door, but when he saw that the other party had stood up from the chair and walked towards him slowly, he didn't want to show the posture of a shrunken turtle, tightened his expression, and strode into the house. .

When the two met face-to-face and were about to pass each other, He Wenxiao's originally charming eyes suddenly sank, he grabbed Chu Min's arm, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with your lips?"

Chu Min: "?"

Chu Min paused, a little unbelievable what he heard just now.

Last night's wound seemed to be bleeding, but it wasn't serious. It had long since congealed into a small hole, which was hidden in the lip lines indistinctly. Pain faintly.

Looking at He Wenxiao's implied concern, Chu Min suddenly had a bad guess in his heart...

"Last night..." Chu Min's throat moved slightly, but after all, he couldn't finish the sentence, and only stared at He Wenxiao with a pair of peach blossom eyes.

Only then did He Wenxiao realize that he was still holding Chu Min's arm. He let go of his hand and answered with a serious expression, "Thank you for taking me back to the hotel last night."

This thank you can't say how much feel forgotten, but it can be regarded as sincere.

Chu Min said in his heart that he guessed correctly, He Wenxiao really forgot what happened last night.

But he clearly remembered that after He Wenxiao was drunk last time, not only did he not forget how he "committed the following" the night before, but he also took advantage of the momentum to fuck him again the next day.

Co-authoring this little bastard is selective amnesia after weighing the pros and cons.

Chu Min's temples jumped up abruptly not long after it had subsided, almost laughing angrily.

He Wenxiao is really good, and he can always change his way to give him more "surprise".

He should accompany Director Ning to drink a few more glasses at the dinner party yesterday, or order a few bottles of foreign wine.

He originally planned to wait until today's filming was over to reach a tacit agreement with He Wenxiao to change the room, but He Wenxiao didn't remember it.

In fact, having said that, this result is actually not bad. Since he is the only one who remembers, he can completely pretend that nothing happened and let everything return to normal, but he always feels as if his chest is stagnant and blocked. panic.

He Wenxiao looked at Chu Minqing's pale face, and said with a little concern, "I don't think your face is very good. I remember you drank a lot yesterday."

Chu Min took a deep breath and tried his best to restrain his emotions, without saying the word "go away" to He Wenxiao.

In the afternoon, the filming was concentrated. Director Ning pursued the quality of the real scene, refused to use the green screen, and just let Chu Min fly down from the top of the tower several dozen meters high. Fortunately, Chu Min is not afraid of heights, and can control his posture and expression well in mid-air.

However, when it was officially filmed, the young actors who were on the same scene seemed to be out of shape, and a few simple ground moves made frequent mistakes.

Chu Min had no choice but to put the afternoon sun on his head, accompanied by the reshoots over and over again, and the light blue clothes were flipping around in midair, but none of them could be successfully settled.

Xiaobai raised his head outside the field, clung to the water cup and stomped his feet, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Jumping down from such a high place, even with Wia's protection, looks quite scary.

After the eighth NG, He Wenxiao, who was watching with arms crossed, stepped forward, quietly put his arms on the shoulders of the supporting actor from behind, forcibly hugged him aside, and whispered into the other's ear with a smile on his face. a few words.

The two were not too far apart, but Chu Min couldn't hear what they said. He only felt that after the actor returned to the set, he was full of energy, as if some beast was eyeing him behind him. .

But unexpectedly, the ninth reshoot went smoothly.

After eating in the nanny car in the evening, Chu Min walked to the stone fence to breathe, and moved his aching muscles and bones against the gorgeous orange-red sky, and suddenly heard "Brother Chu" behind him.

He turned around, and it was He Xu.

He asked politely, "Xiao He, why haven't you returned yet?"

He Xu said: "There have been no announcements recently, and I am also idle when I am idle. Why don't I come over and play with Brother Xiao, and by the way, integrate into the crew ahead of time."

Chu Min was at a loss for words. He thought that he was asking a stupid question. Isn't that the only reason why he came to He Wenxiao?

He Xu didn't notice Chu Min's strangeness, he pointed at Chu Min's eyes and said, "I always heard that Brother Chu's acting skills are amazing, but I saw it with my own eyes today, and it really lives up to its reputation!"

Chu Min laughed dryly and said, "I won the prize."

He Xu rubbed his hands and said, "I just like seniors with good acting skills. I really want to join the group quickly and have a face-to-face with Brother Chu. We have quite a lot of scenes with each other."

While speaking, he suddenly stared at the corner of Chu Min's lips, looked at it for a few seconds and asked in surprise, "Brother Chu, what's wrong with your mouth?"

The wound on Chu Min's mouth was extremely inconspicuous. After a whole day, only two people found it.

One is He Wenxiao and the other is He Xu.

Chu Min resisted the urge to say "the dog was bitten", but only said that his work and rest had been irregular recently, and he was a little angry.

The child He Xu was also very enthusiastic. He got close to Chu Min and shared some tips for clearing fire with him.

Looking at He Xu's innocent and cute baby face, Chu Min uncontrollably recalled what happened last night.

For a moment, he felt that there would be no more suffocating situation in the world than the present.

Obviously it was He Wenxiao's good deeds, but all the unbearable things were borne by him alone.

If only he could lose his memory like He Wenxiao.

He thought about it, looked at the railing on the side, and resisted the urge to bump into it.

But at this time, He Wenxiao also came over, stood beside He Xu, and the two of them looked at him with dark eyes.

He Xu and He Wenxiao said hello, and suddenly thought of something: "Mr. Chu, can I add a WeChat to you?"

Chu Minmei's heart was beating violently, but she nodded slightly and said "yes".

He Xu hurriedly took out his mobile phone and presented the QR code like a successful star chaser.

So, facing He Wenxiao's slightly unkind eyes, Chu Min added He Xu.

Chu Min can understand He Wenxiao's mood at the moment. It is not a good thing for the former and the current to add friends under his nose.

After finding an excuse to go back to the nanny car, Chu Min finally breathed a little more smoothly. He took a sip from the thermos cup from Xiaobai's side and found that it was honeysuckle tea. It's the right time to drink.

He asked Xiaobai, "Why did you suddenly think of making honeysuckle tea?"

Xiaobai hurriedly raised his head from the pile of notices, pushed his black-rimmed glasses and said, "Brother Min, aren't you getting angry? This is a tea bag that Teacher He made a special trip to buy."

"Cough cough..." Chu Min didn't have time to swallow the second sip of tea, and coughed hard.

It's really getting hot right now.

He Xu stayed on the set the whole time, with a small tail attached to He Wenxiao's side, Chu Min was forced to stay in the car for a while.

If the two of them stood in front of him again, he would feel uncomfortable just imagining the scene.

In order to reduce the probability of meeting, Chu Min simply went to the single dressing room ahead of time and stayed in it alone, which was considered to be quiet.

As twilight came, the weather began to turn cloudy, and the clouds that rolled and gathered in the sky were dense and airtight, covering the stars and moons on the horizon like snow.

Chu Min took out the silver-rimmed glasses and put them on the bridge of his nose, and started reading the script without any distractions.

However, just when he was unprepared, there was a sudden sound of electric sparks outside, and then, the lights above his head suddenly went out, as if there was a mass of devouring ink in front of him, wherever he could see it. All turned into darkness.

When the entire row of buildings was powered off, He Wenxiao was standing at the door of Chu Min's dressing room. He didn't even go in. He quietly leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and listened to the people inside read their lines in a warm and affectionate tone.

Therefore, when he rushed in, he could accurately find out where Chu Min was in the dark.

The moment the big hand clasped Chu Min's shoulder, He Wenxiao only felt a trembling in his hand.

As early as the moment the darkness came, Chu Min's brain had fallen into an uncontrollable blank. At this moment, when someone suddenly touched him, he suddenly stood up like a frightened bird, and took a step forward in a panic. Unexpectedly, he slammed into a warm, thick chest.

He was about to break away reflexively, when he suddenly heard a whisper in his ear: "It's me."

With a reassuring composure and calm.

Chu Min didn't resist any longer, grabbed a small piece of fabric on He Wenxiao's shoulder, quietly leaned against He Wenxiao's chest, breathed very lightly, and let the other party tighten his arms.

Even if he can't see now, He Wenxiao can imagine Chu Min's expression of clenching his teeth and being brave at this time.

He was probably the only one in the entire crew who knew best, Chu Min, who was not afraid of the sky and earth, was the only one who was afraid of the dark. Ordinary night is no problem, but if you are in such a cramped small space where you can't see your fingers, you will feel like you are suffering from a spirit disorder. Therefore, Chu Min will always keep emergency lights at home, always hope that the entrance can be kept bright, and even keep a small night light when sleeping.

The specific reason Chu Min didn't mention to him back then, and he didn't force him to ask, but he had promised Chu Min that in the future, Chu Min's world would not be filled with the slightest darkness, and he would always leave a light for Chu Min.

Exclamations and noises were heard outside the window.

In the cramped small dressing room, He Wenxiao's powerful arms wrapped tightly around Chu Min's waist and back, while patting his palms, he said warmly, "The call is coming soon, don't be afraid."

As He Wenxiao said, the entire power outage process took less than a minute, and soon, the light came on.

A halo of whiteness drives away the darkness.

He Wenxiao's eyes stinged for a moment, and before he could see what the condition of the person in his arms was, he was suddenly pushed and staggered, and he supported the back of the chair so as not to hit the wall behind him.

Chu Minxu leaned softly in front of the makeup table, her chest undulating, her breath was uneven, her dark red lips lost half of her blood, and her delicate silver-rimmed glasses also slipped down to the tip of her nose along the straight bridge of her nose. The beautiful peach blossom eyes stared at him, accusing him of the cross-border behavior just now, but he didn't know that at this moment, he had no deterrence.

The man in front of him, who was cuddling in his arms like a frightened deer half a minute ago, now pretends to be unwilling to be outdone, as if escaping from a flood of beasts, as if he is trying to keep him thousands of miles away.

He Wenxiao moved his twisted wrist, and a trace of displeasure rose in his heart, but more than that, he was dumbfounded.

However, he did find that Chu Min's attitude towards him today was very strange. Unlike the simple vigilance before, he seemed to be a little afraid of him.

The moment before the makeup artist and assistant came in, Chu Min took off his glasses, stood up quickly, and returned to his usual decent appearance in a second.

Therefore, apart from He Wenxiao, no one else noticed Chu Min's strangeness.

Six years later, Chu Min still thinks highly of himself as always, and never shows his weakness, but in those ten seconds just now, he leaned on him wholeheartedly, seeking peace in his chest for a while.

He Wenxiao raised his eyebrows, looking at Chu Min who was invited to the seat by the makeup artist, the unpleasantness in his heart being pushed away seemed to be offset by something.

He Wenxiao was injured in this scene, and the makeup was much more complicated than Chu Min, so he came later. When he arrived on the set, he saw Chu Min standing in the center of the lobby and looking down at the lines, and his expression had completely returned to normal.

In tonight's play, there were only He Wenxiao and Chu Min.

As the eldest disciple, Xu Jifeng made a bad face, and before he reached the weak crown, he began to linger in the land of Yanliu and owed a romantic debt.

Xu Jifeng was originally afraid, but unexpectedly one day, he was provoked by a traitor and suffered great grievances. He went down the mountain privately again on the night of curfew. After Bai Luoyang found out, he immediately went to the brothel to look for it, but failed, and finally found Xu Jifeng with red eyes by the spring at the foot of Qingya Mountain. Bai Luoyang did not forcibly take people back, but listened to his complaints silently with the sound of the spring, and hengxin abandoned the rules and accompanies him to drink under the moon. When the two returned to the sect early the next day, they were arrested by the master and a group of disciples. The most proud of them was Xu Jifeng's nemesis. He framed Xu Jifeng in front of his master, saying that Xu Jifeng went to the Fengyue place to have fun again.

But Bai Luoyang insisted that Xu Jifeng was just watching the moon at the foot of the mountain.

There was Xu Jifeng's bad deeds in front of him, so Master naturally didn't believe it. Seeing that his most important disciple lied and defended such an unbearable disciple, Master was so angry that he took out a cane and slapped it on Bai Luoyang, asking him to tell the truth.

But Bai Luoyang is like a piece of wood, let the rattan fall like raindrops, and the flesh is open, even if Xu Jifeng can't stand it anymore, he is willing to admit that he went to the brothel, but Bai Luoyang still bites the original rhetoric and insists Zun's anger was all brought to himself, and he suffered the punishment of two people.

And tonight's play started with the story of Bai Luoyang's punishment of kneeling in the council hall for three days and three nights.

That night, Xu Jifeng was furious after learning that Bai Luoyang was fasting, so he personally cooked a bowl of extremely unpalatable porridge, and secretly sent it to the council hall, feeding the porridge to Bai Luoyang who was kneeling on the ground, while gently eating. Lightly scolded: "Junior brother, everyone says that you are talented and intelligent, and Ziwei came into the world, but I think you are an elm head, and you don't know how to adapt..."

Bai Luoyang sipped the porridge and said nothing the whole time. He waited for Xu Jifeng to finish his ramble and said, "It's okay, as long as Senior Brother really stays away from places where he shouldn't go in the future, it's better."

When he said this, Bai Luoyang's tone was still dull, like the door rules and dogmas engraved on the bamboo slips, and there was no superfluous expression on his face. Neither anger nor disgust.

Facing the cameras and the cast and crew in all directions, Chu Min held the porridge bowl and stared at He Wenxiao's overly calm face, and suddenly remembered the day he went to a nightclub to attend a friend's bachelorette party many years ago.

Since he had been thinking about He Wenxiao all the time, he couldn't enjoy himself, so he found a reason to go back early, but he was entangled by a young master of the club who was drinking too much. While pulling and pulling, he saw outside the private room door, and He Wenxiao, who had come to pick him up, stood there expressionlessly. He didn't actually tell He Wenxiao the meeting place, he instinctively didn't want He Wenxiao to get involved with those rotten people.

After returning home, Chu Min silently observed He Wenxiao who cooked his supper for him. Suddenly, on a whim, he asked jokingly, "Baby, don't you even feel angry when I go to that kind of place?"

The consequence of deliberately stimulating the little boyfriend is that he can't get out of bed the next day, and in order to coax people well, he took the initiative to cut off contact with the group of friends...

The memory was so out of place that Chu Min suddenly forgot the original line and blurted out: "Junior brother, I always go to that kind of place, and I have been there so many times, why are you never angry?"

He Wenxiao was stunned for a moment, the old-fashioned expression on his face like an iron mask was slightly cracked for a moment, and then he lowered his eyes halfway and said, "Naturally there is anger."

The moment Chu Min realized that he had said the wrong line, he was waiting for the director to call "card", but He Wenxiao also took a line that was not in the script at all, but Director Ning did not stop twice.

Chu Min immediately cut back to the original line: "Senior brother will learn well in the future, practice hard, practice swordsmanship hard, and never mess with flowers again, just treat it... just for you."

The promise made casually was a few pounds and a few taels. I'm afraid even Xu Jifeng himself didn't know it, but Bai Luoyang suddenly laughed after listening to it.

It seems that the pure white brocade suddenly burst into a red plum blossom, and it is like a drop of spring water falling on the icy lake.

Xu was too close, and Chu Min was caught off guard. He slipped and fell into that shallow smile, but he couldn't control his emotions. His eyes were slightly rounded, and his heart swayed a little.

In fact, there is no need for Xu Jifeng to show such an expression here. Costume dramas always need some charming and beautiful scenes, especially in the Internet age, but there are few famous scenes worthy of hot searches that cannot be promoted.

Therefore, Bai Luoyang's smile was originally hand-picked by the screenwriter to add a feature to tease the audience. When setting it up, even the hot search terms were thought out, so it was called #bailuoyang finally laughed#, but Director Ning, who was sitting behind the monitor, suddenly realized that this was simply overkill, and it could have a deeper meaning——

Xu Jifeng, a person who had no ambition at first, may have been at first to protect this rare smile, and then he gradually changed his mind and returned to justice, and finally joined hands with Bai Luoyang to embark on the right path of punishing evil and eliminating evil.

In the council hall, after a period of mutual confession between the brothers and sisters, Xu Jifeng put down the bowl and gently hugged the scarred Bai Luoyang.

Bai Luoyang's eyes were slightly stunned, a pair of big hands raised and lowered, and after all, they were still unskilledly placed on the back of his senior brother, and as if a little excited, he leaned forward slightly, covering the other party under his tall body.

This was originally a hug between brothers who couldn't be purer. It was hot and pure, but it made Chu Min think of the moment when the power went out in the dressing room. He Wenxiao appeared out of nowhere and couldn't help but say that He rubbed it into his arms and whispered soothingly in his ear.

At that time, he had no time to tell whether He Wenxiao was suddenly flooded with good intentions or had other intentions, or he was afraid that his poor condition would affect the next shooting process. He Wenxiao's hot chest.

He could even hear He Wenxiao's heartbeat.

Quick, unbelievably fast.

The one who feared the dark was clearly him, not He Wenxiao.

Immediately, he remembered that when He Wenxiao had just started the phone, He Wenxiao asked him what kind of feelings Bai Luoyang had towards Xu Jifeng. He said it was a brotherhood, but He Wenxiao asserted that Bai Luoyang loved Xu Jifeng.

He didn't agree with He Wenxiao's over-interpretation, but at this moment, he realized that he was on the verge of losing control, and he was about to act as Xu Jifeng admiring Bai Luoyang.

After this scene was filmed, God knows how many superfluous expressions he showed, but Director Ning didn't call "ka" from beginning to end, and even after the end, he sat on the director's chair and gave them a thumbs up.

Standing behind the monitor and watching the replay, Chu Min stared at himself on the screen, a little like his back.

Since he entered the industry, he has always shown extraordinary talent, especially good at analyzing characters and resonating with them. It's no exaggeration to say that tonight's scene was the most chaotic of his acting career, like an improvisation without the script.

After the whole episode was broadcast, He Wenxiao raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not bad, what do you think Teacher Chu?"

Chu Min ignored He Wenxiao and bowed to Director Ning: "Sorry Director, I may be in a bad state today, and I didn't follow the script exactly."

Director Ning said cheerfully: "It's okay, it's okay, the places you changed are quite in place, and Wen Xiao received it just right. For filming, what's written in the script is always just talk on paper, and you always have to touch it with real swords and real guns. Only later will I know if it is reasonable or not, and if there is room for improvement, I am not the kind of director who speaks his mind."

Yao Ximan, who was waiting to watch the whole play, whispered, "It's really touching, Yang Feng is so good."

Everyone present applauded, and if they continued to struggle, there would be suspicion of false modesty and true arrogance. Chu Min had to nod, but secretly frowned.

In fact, from the overall point of view, the scene is very smooth, there is no abruptness, and what he is not satisfied with is only his performance attitude.

He is an actor who believes in the experience school, and he should devote himself to the character itself, making the character the absolute master, instead of being repeatedly influenced by subjective emotions and tampering with the character as just now.

During the break, Chu Min stayed away from the crowd, walked alone under a camellia tree with the script in hand, stood with his hands behind his back, closed his eyes for a long time in the strong fragrance, and heard someone following behind him.

Chu Min turned his back and asked, "When I said the wrong line just now, why didn't you interrupt me to stop, but followed along?"

He Wenxiao chuckled and asked, "Mr. Chu, don't you ever think that Xu Jifeng and Bai Luoyang are just like our performances?"
