Chapter 57: Cross me (quasi cohabitation)

Chapter 57:
Gu Nian's tense consciousness suddenly relaxed. She stood up on the armrest of the sofa, took a picture of her white cheeks without looking in the mirror, and walked to the hallway.
Opening the door, it was Luo Xiu who was supporting the wall.
However, unlike his usual elegant and gentle appearance, the man outside seemed to have rushed over at this time. His pale thin lips were deep red by Yin Chengyan, his jaw line was sharply stretched, and his eyes seemed to have been washed with water. Bright black.
Gu Nian watched his loss for two seconds, then came to his senses and quickly asked, "What happened?"
Seeing that the girl in front of him was unharmed, Luo Xiu slowly suppressed the undulating breath. He held the door opened by Gu Nian, his voice was slightly muffled: "No."
Gu Nian was startled: "But you seem to be anxious."
The lights in the hall reflected in Luo Xiu's eyes flickered, and he immediately bent his eyes slightly, "There was a traffic accident at the South Road Turntable, and there was a traffic jam. I ran over."
"...?"
Gu Nian was even more stunned.
The traffic jam was about to run over and said there was nothing wrong, obviously the credibility was not high.
But Gu Nian didn't ask any further, she turned sideways out of the hallway: "Come in and take a rest?"
Luo Xiu paused, "Okay." He followed Gu Nian and stepped into the door, turned sideways and glanced at the dim corridor before closing the door, confirming that no one had closed the door.
Gu Nian went to the refrigerator in the restaurant to search for two minutes, and finally pulled out a bottle of reserved mineral water from a corner. After confirming the expiration date three times that there was no problem, Gu Nian took it into the living room.
"Our last bottle of mineral water," Gu Nian was half joking. "For your cleanliness, it is convenient to bring your own thermos when you go out."
"You shouldn't need to come here."
"?"
Gu Nian didn't react at first, but he raised his head halfway, and then suddenly reacted. Luo Xiu was talking about what they shared as a punishment paper cup after the first game part of "The Golden Edition".
Indirectly...
Her hand holding the mineral water stopped suddenly in the air.
Slender and white fingers gripped the other end of the water bottle, but did not take it away. Luo Xiu sat on the sofa and raised his eyes slowly with a smile, seemingly gentle and deep: "What's wrong?"
"...!"
Gu Nian shook her heart, letting go of her hand subconsciously, and swishing back behind her.
"Nothing!"
The little girl moved quickly to the other side of the sofa.
Luo Xiu's wrist sank under the pressure of the mineral water bottle.
He lowered his eyes, but the corners of his lips rose. Without saying anything, he unscrewed the cap and took a sip.
In this moment, Luo Xiu had already retrieved from his memory one of the company proposals that he had dealt with this afternoon.
Putting down the mineral water bottle, Luo Xiu looked back and said, "I really have something to discuss with you when I come over tonight."
Gu Nian quickly drew back her thoughts, "What's the matter?"
"After the first issue of "The Golden Edition" was broadcast, the script of "Broken" has received enthusiastic response online."
Gu Nian nodded, "I know."
"The reversal is perfect as the ending, but many viewers have a higher voice for an official ending. Considering this, BH Media seems willing to continue filming for a short period."
"Continue shooting?" Gu Nian frowned slightly.
Luo Xiu saw that she didn't want to, and didn't hesitate, his voice softly said, "If you don't like it, then I will reject them."
"..."
Gu Nian instinctively wants to refuse. She likes to stop the story or script at the climax. Blank space can always meet the artistic needs of creators.
but,
Gu Nian asked: "Did BH Media come to you first?"
Luo Xiu paused and smiled gently: "It should be because he wants to confirm with me whether he wants to continue participating in the performance."
Gu Nian frowned.
Luo Xiu could see exactly what she was thinking at a glance, "Don't violate your own ideas because of me."
Gu Nian returned to his senses: "It's okay. If the shots of the continuation are short, just as a small easter egg, it will not have much impact."
Luo Xiu wanted to speak.
Gu Nian looked up, smiled and intercepted his voice: "And how could I not consider you received such a good response from the first issue of "The Golden Edition". I never expected that you did not see your popularity soaring. Do you? I want to help you seize this opportunity and consolidate your popularity."
Luo Xiu had no choice but to look at her.
Gu Nian suddenly remembered something, "has a new brokerage company contacted you?"
Luo Xiu was silent: "No."
Gu Nian frowned: "Why is this, it shouldn't be, I have received several media companies' signing invitations. Is it because they don't know that you don't have a brokerage contract? Should I try... "
Luo Xiu smiled with a headache: "It shouldn't be used anymore."
"what?"
"BH Media... they may have intentions."
"!"
Gu Nian's eyes lit up suddenly, and he was so excited that he lit two small light bulbs and rushed over: "Great! From the current point of view, BH Media has the background and resources, and the future is bright! The most important thing is that they have not signed much yet. Artists, entering such a dark horse stock during the rising period, if you seize the opportunity in the future, you will definitely have a lot of resources tilted, and then become the veteran of the company's artists..."
The little girl was so happy that she forgot what she was embarrassing about, and she moved from the other side of the sofa. She talked about excitement several times as if she was about to jump up and hug him.
Luo Xiu leaned on the sofa, leaning on his side, looking at her with a deep smile in his eyes.
Gu Nian grumbled with excitement for a long time, and after painting a large blueprint for Luo Xiu, he finally recovered his sense of excitement.
Her face was flushed, half excited, and half embarrassed by the reaction.
"I seem to say a little bit?"
"No," Luo Xiu chuckled, "I can listen to you all night."
"..."
Under the gaze of those brown eyes, Gu Nian's cheeks became hotter inexplicably.
After another moment of small talk, Luo Xiu got up to leave. Gu Nian sent him to the door.
Before saying goodbye, Luo Xiu seemed to ask with hindsight, "Didn't your two roommates live with you?"
Gu Nian looked sad: "They went to the screenwriting training class of BH Media, and I will live at home alone for the next two months."
Luo Xiu's eyes moved slightly: "Will it be too unsafe for you to live alone?"
"..."
Thinking of Zheng Haolei being blocked downstairs in the evening, Gu Nian's face changed slightly, but soon she covered it up and smiled with her eyes bent: "It's okay, I've lived here for a long time, and this piece is well managed. Moreover, it is difficult to find suitable rental housing under such conditions."
Luo Xiu nodded and seemed to believe it completely: "Well, if you have anything, remember to call me anytime."
Gu Nian nodded: "Okay."
After the two said goodbye, Luo Xiu turned and walked out of the corridor.
The sky outside the building was completely dark. For some years in this residential area, the street lights were dimmed like fireflies, and it was hard to see people within a few meters.
Luo Xiu stood in the silent elevator room for a long time, then pressed the elevator, turned around, and went downstairs.
The black car that the driver drove to drove him hung in the night. Luo Xiu walked out of the building and knocked on the back door.
The driver took a careful look at this residential building, then turned around and asked Luo Xiu: "Mr. Luo, shall we leave now?"
"Not in a hurry," Luo Xiu's gentle smile, which he had always hung on, didn't know when there were no more points left. He lowered his eyes and looked at his watch coldly, "Wait another half an hour."
The driver did not dare to object: "Okay."
Quiet time flows by my side.
Luo Xiu never relaxed and looked at the corridor entrance outside the window, only to see a pair of old couples who had come back from a walk in and out.
Half an hour later, he took off his glasses and squeezed the bridge of his nose, "Let's go."
The driver had passed out in this suffocating space a long time ago. At this time, he could not wait to speed up to 120 immediately, "Good Mr. Luo!"
The car drove out.
Luo Xiu dialed a number from the phone in the back seat.
After a few seconds passed, the other side of the phone called: "Rare? Don't you have to sleep at this point? Why do you even think of calling me?"
Luo Xiu ignored Josie's jokes: "I would like to ask you to help."
Josie was stunned: "You? Ask me for help? Father Luo knows that you can do such humiliating things as a variety show in the circle, so he wants to drive you out of the house?"
Luo Xiu opened his mouth to speak.
Josie: "No, then you must be so happy that you can't wait to move into Daojiguan overnight, no, right now, it's a change of master, can you wait to move into Miss Gu's house overnight?"
"..."
Josie waited for a few seconds, then looked at the phone call interface questioningly: "Why aren't you talking?"
Luo Xiu's voice was low and flat: "I'm not in a hurry, wait for you to finish."
Josie choked.
After a while, he consciously repented: "Let’s do it, I’m wrong, I shouldn’t tease you, after all, it’s a lot for you to save my life last month when the Taoist Temple of Mercy invited the Taoist priest. Why are you busy?"
"..."
The weather becomes faster in summer, and so does at night. When the car drove up the main road, I don't know when the patter of rain came from the window. The light of the street lamp was hidden in the raindrops, and the broken gold strips flowed down the lampshade.
There was a fragrance in the car, and the low, faint sound was hidden in the patter of raindrops on the window.
After Luo Xiu finished speaking, Josie choked on the other side for a long time before finding her voice: "No, you are too... Are you asking me to help you bully Zhanliang's women? This is a test of my conscience too."
Luo Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and repeated his voice in a low voice: "Bullying Zhanliang's women?"
"Isn't it? Otherwise, why are you so strenuous to put the little girl into your territory?"
"..."
Luo Xiu pinched his eyebrows, "Because Zheng Haolei."
"Who?"
"General Manager of Dingke Media."
"Oh, I remembered, it's the prince who reserved guests, celebrities."
"You know him?"
"Of course, I have heard of him when I was not in China. A famous prodigal son in the circle, he was able to feed half of the paparazzi of the newspaper a few years ago by his own lace news. But in the past two years I don't know how to suddenly settle down... …Wait, what did you suddenly mention him for?"
"He is pestering Gu Nian."
"?"
After a few seconds of death.
Josie was shocked and returned to his senses: "How could Gu Nian provoke him? Even though the prodigal was playing crazy, he still had his brain. No matter how crazy he was, he would be greeted by those who rushed to meet him. I never heard of him still cheating. What about male dominance?"
Luo Xiu's eyes darkened as he listened, and after a long time after Josie's question, his knuckles on the armrest box trembled slightly.
Luo Xiu lowered his eyes slightly, covering the dark cloud in his eyes: "The matter of her withdrawal from the circle under her pen name two years ago is related to him. I am still investigating the details.
"There was a relationship two years ago? It sounds like a grudge."
"What I told you about?"
"Don't worry, since this is the case, then I must help you fish out the little girl, but she just got out of the tiger's den and entered the evil dragon's den. Doesn't it seem any better?"
"You compare me to him?"
Even after the phone call, Josie was still shaken by the chill coming up from his back, "For example, I'm just like."
"Even if we are equally unscrupulous, but there is one thing," Luo Xiu said in a cold voice, "I will not make her afraid or sad, let alone hurt her."
"..."
The words from Luo Xiu's mouth made Josie feel strange for a long time.
Finally he sighed: "I can hear you saying this in the rest of my life, and I can see all horrible things if I live longer."
Luo Xiu: "This must be done as soon as possible."
Josie: "Don't worry."
After holding back for a few seconds, Josie still couldn't hold back the "hey" sound: "You tell me quickly, how did Gu Nian chase you away during the month of the mountain crew?"
"..."
?
Qin Yuanyuan and Jiang Xiaoqing both went to the screenwriting training class of BH Media, and Lin Nantian was left after considering their close friends.
Although the blind branch had been concealed from Lin Nantian at first, she later revealed it to Lin Nantian before joining the crew.
This time, being entangled by Zheng Haolei, Gu Nianwo stayed at home all day without daring to go out.
Chatting with Lin Nantian during the day, she did not expect to have a video call at night.
As soon as I picked it up, I saw Lin Nantian excitedly in the video: "Tell you good news!"
Gu Nian lay on the sofa weakly: "What good news, this scourge of you is finally getting married?"
"Bill," Lin Nantian rolled his eyes to her, "It's in vain that I was worried about the whole afternoon after listening to you today, and I tried to find a way for you."
Gu Nian tilted her head over in mourning, her cheeks squeezed softly: "What can I do?"
"Move out!"
"I thought about it, but it's too much trouble, and the location, price, and environment are so difficult to find. The most important thing is that if he still finds it, he can't always be chased and moved." , I just came across a perfect plan here!"
Seeing Lin Nantian so confident, Gu Nian raised the corner of her eyes suspiciously.
After lying on the sofa cushion for a few seconds, she slowly got up: "What plan?"
"Josie, do you remember?"
"Qiaoxi? Which bridge west?"
"It's not a real bridge, it's a man, it's Josh! The second generation of rich returnees who dated you on a blind date at the end of May this year!"
"..."
Reminded by Lin Nantian's efforts, Gu Nian finally found the figure whose facial features had been blurred from the depths of her mind.
Hugging a pillow into the corner of the sofa, the girl has drooped her eyes: "I remember, what does it have to do with him?"
"He is going to live abroad recently. It seems to be a small city in Northern Europe for a year. Then his villa in City K is vacant and wants to invite people to live in."
Gu Nian: "...?"
Gu Nian was really confused for a long time in these words: "I ran to live in a foreign country, and'please' people live in the villa?"
Lin Nantian: "Yes."
Gu Nian: "Is this your new charity activity?"
Lin Nantian laughed and said, "No! Many people believe that houses depend on popularity, so they will rent them out for others to live without for a long time, so that they don't have to leave the house abandoned."
Gu Nian: "Then why didn't he rent it out?"
Lin Nantian: "On the one hand, I'm afraid that people who don't know the foundation will ruin the decoration, but I think the main thing is not bad money."
Gu Nian: "..."
What an unpretentious reason.
Lin Nantian is like an enthusiastic sales lady, pulling a map and describing the advantages of this villa in various aspects such as security and privacy.
Gu Nian had to admit that she was very excited, but her reason made her stop.
This opportunity is really like a pie in the sky, and it's time to fall again. Based on her more than 20 years of life experience, Gu Nian never believes that sheer luck will happen to choose herself among the billions of people on the planet.
So even if Lin Nantian spits wildly, without delay, Gu Nian asked rationally after listening: "How did you know that he has such a villa that needs someone to move in?"
Lin Nantian didn't notice her intention: "I had arranged a meal for you before, and I added his friend. He should have sent such a message to the people in the contact list, I just saw you and thought of you!"
Gu Nian wrinkled her face: "Then no one else asked him? You and I don't really know him."
Lin Nantian thought for a while: "No, as soon as I found him, he was happy to say that the Jifang was available for rent for free."
Gu Nian: "Did anyone else ask?"
Lin Nantian nodded: "Well, it's normal."
Gu Nian: "Where is it normal?"
Lin Nantian thought without hesitation: "His circle of friends should be at least a nouveau riche like me. Who doesn't have two vacant villas at home and can't take care of his own, so why live in someone else's?"
Gu Nian: "..."
The troubles of the rich are really extravagant.
Hearing Gu Nian still hesitating, Lin Nantian persuaded her: "I know your temper, but you don't need to have any burden of owing favor to you. It was originally his group who wanted to find reliable people to help take care of the house. Required."
Gu Nian: "But objectively I still take advantage."
Lin Nantian: "I just know you are stubborn, so I discussed with him in advance. You will pay for the water and electricity bills, and then you will give 1,000 rents a month."
Gu Nian smiled bitterly: "Based on the basic rent in City K, 1,000 is too trivial."
Lin Nantian pretended to be fierce: "Why, my old lady has been worrying about this for you all afternoon. You have to be so angry with me and worry that you can't sleep with nightmares on your thighs, right? "
"..."
Gu Nian choked.
Lin Nantian let go of the killer: "Anyway, I have already agreed with that side, if you don't go, I will!"
"So what?"
Lin Nantian grinned: "I just called Aunt Gu. She just wanted to find a reason to bring her precious girl back to her side, right?"
Gu Nian: "..."
Gu Nian: "You are ruthless."
The second generation of rich returnees seemed to be really anxious to find someone to arrange the villa. After hearing Lin Nantian's completion, he took the initiative to find someone to sign a rental agreement with Gu Nian the next day.
Before leaving, the client made a special trip to convey Josie’s urgent wish.
"Mr. Qiao said that there are so many rooms in the villa. Miss Gu can invite friends to live with him at any time without having to explain to him."
This completely charitable on-site expression made Gu Nian unable to relax for a long time.
When she came back to her senses, the client had already disappeared holding the contract.
Gu Nian asked Lin Nantian anxiously: "Do you really think something is wrong with this matter?"
Lin Nantian: "What's wrong?"
"I can't tell you." Gu Nian lifted her cheeks, listening to the cicadas screaming outside the window in the late summer heat wave, her voice was lazy, "But I always feel like I have fallen into someone's sleeve."
Lin Nantian: "You just love to think about it, since childhood!"
"...Well, I hope I think too much."
Two days later, Gu Nian moved into "Josie's Villa".
But before the villa life had time to experience it carefully, Gu Nian was taken by the "Golden Compilation" program group to the third program recording.
When the whole week was over, she came back in dust, her feet were not completely touched, and Gu Nian received a call from a small person in charge of the BH media company who had high and low positions.
The reason for the call is also simple: it was for the little easter egg in the "Broken" skit that Luo Xiu mentioned to her before.
Even if Gu Nian wanted to reprimand the capitalists for their recklessness--lizhu's essence, she agreed early on. In order for Luo Xiu to successfully sign BH Media, she had to be patient.
So after going back to the villa that was very unfamiliar to her, after showering and changing clothes, Gu Nian rushed to the temporary filming location arranged by BH Media.
There, Gu Nian saw Luo Xiu carrying Luo Xiu and his suitcase.
Although it is only a short shot of one or two minutes, on-site scheduling also takes time. The filming didn't start, Gu Nian sneaked to Luo Xiu's side.
"Luo Xiu?" She emerged from behind him.
"Ok."
Gu Nian hesitated to point to his suitcase: "They didn't even let you go back, so they just brought you here, right?"
"It has nothing to do with them."
"Then what are you?"
"..."
The man lowered his eyes, his slender eyelashes set up a faint fragile shadow, and he seemed depressed and a little embarrassed.
Gu Nian certainly couldn't bear to ask him after changing his usual things, but at this time, when reminiscing about Luo Xiu's previous incident of "the family elders had an accident", Gu Nian would naturally not be able to rest assured.
After thinking about it again and again, Gu Nian moved a step closer to Luo Xiu and pulled down his cuff. She leaned over her head and asked softly, "Didn’t you say that I will protect you? You can tell me if you have any questions, I want to see me. Can you help?"
Luo Xiu sighed softly and smiled helplessly: "Nothing serious. It's just that my previous residence was an artist's residence arranged by Dingke Media. Later, the contract was cancelled by both parties. I originally contacted the new rental house in advance, but the landlord temporarily left. problem."
Gu Nian stayed for a while: "So don't you have a place to go now?"
Luo Xiu: "It doesn't matter, I can stay in the hotel first these few days."
"But it's too inconvenient to stay in a hotel. Now you can walk on the street casually and don't have to worry about being recognized."
"..."
Seeing Luo Xiu's silence, Gu Nian asked uneasy: "Do you have any relatives or friends in K city? Maybe it's possible."
Halfway through, Gu Nian regretted it.
Luo Xiu’s family situation he had told her clearly, his biological mother passed away, his father married another, was bullied by his younger brother and alienated from his family, and he didn’t see any friends...
Looking at the man's disappointed eyes, Gu Nian felt a pain in her heart, and blurted out almost without even thinking about it.
"You live with me these days!"
