【Zhou Jia】Out of the Dark

They bit the bullet and finished the tender rib-eye steak, feeling a bit overwhelmed.Karna wanted to pack the souffle in a cardboard box, and the two went out to pick up the car while staring at each other.

Fortunately, it happened to be the gathering time for middle-aged and elderly customers - besides, no one could believe that a popular singer came here to have a meal.It was getting late, and the street lights in the suburbs were covered under the shadow of trees, flickering like little sparks.The night breeze was blowing, and after the burning sensation on his face faded, Arjuna habitually opened the door for Karna, and then went back to the driver's seat.

"Thank you. You haven't changed."

"What do you mean—"

Being reminded by the opponent, Ah Zhou realized that he was too proficient in the set of combos just now.The fading enthusiasm surged up, and he was a little annoyed unconsciously: Has it not changed after just a few contacts?Or, is it a good thing for you that nothing has changed?

However, when he turned his head, Karna had already withdrawn his gaze. The other party was holding the souffle, as if he was afraid that the custard skin would be torn apart, and carefully protected it in his arms.

The carton is very delicate, with a thick outer edge, and the top material is replaced by plastic paper so that the shape of the dessert can be seen.Karna is looking at the interior through this layer of plastic at the moment, but his head looks a little pessimistic.Arjuna glanced at the paper box, and really didn't have the heart to tell the other party, even if he started to move in sync with Souffle now, would it be time to leave or not.

He suddenly lost his temper, and the inflated emotions were like a balloon that had been pricked by a needle, whirling and flying up, dissipating without a trace.Instead, it was so relaxed and happy, and the numbness scratched my heart.

Arjuna reached out and took out the spoon from the side of the paper box and handed it to the other party, tolerantly:

"One time only, eat it in the car."

For the next two days, Arjuna and Karna had a surprisingly good relationship. During the period, Ma Si brought Gina to check on the situation.Ma Si knew the inside story, and the strange thing was that the reconciliation was so quick, Gina could only think of a fork in the road:

"The [-]th-line starlet I was in charge of was rescued by my idol when he was being bullied. He flew up to a branch and turned into a phoenix. The two have already lived together, and their lives are harmonious. I wonder if there is another manager who has been so successful."

This state continued until the press conference.

Ma Si drove over at six o'clock, and quickly pulled them into the exclusive lounge of the venue. When they were parked, they encountered the wake-up Qi mode Gamo. Greeted with a smile.Karna didn't know what was going on, so he laughed like hell, so Kama got up and became more angry than the naked eye could see.

Arjuna and Karna’s resting area passed by Guda’s, and through the thick curtain that was not fully drawn, Holmes and Roman sat next to the black-haired boy, reviewing the script and process, and Mash took the liquid foundation to apply. Started to test, gently turned the boy's face, and checked whether the best effect was achieved according to the light, while thinking and impatient:

"Did you stay up late again..."

"Haha, that, it's okay, Mash, I'll just play for a while..." Guda turned sideways and saw them. He wanted to smile kindly, but he couldn't cope with the pinched face.

When Karna was pressed in front of the makeup mirror, he heard the makeup girl exclaiming about his skin, and couldn't hold back his professionalism, so he began to design makeup with great interest—unfortunately, after a lot of tossing, he found that there was no corresponding concealer color number, I can only ask Guda for help.So Gina, who just got the script and ran in, ran out in a panic before she could say a word.

In the chaos, only the artists under the round table were refreshed, of course, except for Mr. Mei, who was about to die on the spot, being supported by the two Arthurs.

"Can it be adjusted?" Karna was a little worried.

Arjuna was originally lying on the chair with his eyes closed, but he still couldn't help complaining:

"Are you really only good at acting and singing?"

Sure enough, when he went to sit down in the hall, Karna realized that his worries were unnecessary.

The venue is huge, the Phnom Penh red carpet stretches all the way into the main entrance, the temporary fences on both sides are exquisitely carved, and the dewy flowers are neatly trimmed to separate the road section.The bricks under their feet were pried open, and a brand-new marble tile was laid flat, even the width was perfectly fitted.The pure white against the dark red is simply a luxury series.

It is indeed a large-scale conference, but the specifications are not so large, right?

Arjuna was arranging the silver-plated cufflinks. Seeing his doubts, he opened his mouth:

"Gilgamesh and Ozymandias jointly invested in this year's film and television. It is already very restrained."

"Go to the back, I'll take you. Try to smile at the camera." He wasn't worried that Karna would be nervous, but if he pressed himself behind, the long guns and short cannons would undoubtedly be aimed at Karna.

Fortunately, although Karna is not popular, he is good-looking and has a good temperament. The reporter was not embarrassed when he airborne Arjuna's hot search.

The atmosphere in the hall was even more magnificent. The host, Mei Lin, was wearing a rare suit and leather shoes, and put away the idler who was walking and dropping chains in the morning.Roman, who was on the same stage with him, abandoned the rumors that he had a disagreement, and he also did business with a smile on his face.

After the film interview of "Round Table 2: Reversal of Another World", the TV drama session started with "The Godfather's Son".Karna and Arjuna were guided by the on-site staff and sat side by side with the main director Da Vinci in front of the stage.

Karna was not assigned much right to speak. After the self-introduction, he sat down in a regular manner. Merlin and Roman made a few short sentences to stir up the atmosphere. Merlin squinted his eyes and looked at him and Arjuna with a narrow smile. I didn't make it difficult for the topic.

Entering the reporter's questioning session, Arjuna took the focus of the conversation intentionally or unintentionally.But the situation always comes:

Towards the end, a certain reporter off the field loudly shouted about the recent trending incidents. With this young bird, questions about the relationship between Karna and Arjuna emerged endlessly.

"Mr. Arjuna, it is rumored that you and Karna are classmates. Did the crew consider this relationship when Mr. Karna accepted the casting?"

"Even if I were, Director Da Vinci is not a person who sticks to personal affairs."

"Mr. Arjuna's sudden transformation, do you have any considerations? Which aspect will you focus on in the future?"

"The transformation is not my personal decision, but also the hope of the company. After that, the activities will depend on the situation."

"Mr. Karna's acting skills are still being praised on the Internet. May I ask how Mr. Arjuna is sure? Is there any intention to limit yourself?"

"Photographs are only partial."

Da Vinci and Arjuna tried their best to deal with the flood of questions as briefly as possible, but suddenly, different voices emerged, pointing directly at Karna.

"Mr. Karna, your songs and works have been leaked on the Internet before, and it was even revealed that you and Mr. Arjuna had formed a band before and had a close relationship. Is this true?"

This question was like a heavy bomb, hitting the crowd and the stage. After a short silence, it boiled at a very fast speed.

The guests remained steady, and most of them were worried because of the good intentions of the people on the stage—but who can tell whether someone secretly wrote down the secret behind their backs.After all, it would be hard for anyone to believe that there is no undercurrent behind anyone present here.

Merlin and Roman looked at each other, and slightly reduced their smiles. Now they inserted too deliberately, which would lead to even worse guesses, and it was up to Karna to deal with it himself.

The moment Arjuna heard the question, his back tensed up. This was a posture of guard. The back of his hand trembled slightly, and he almost couldn't maintain his calm face.

No one can guarantee that nothing happened when their scars are uncovered face to face.

Arjuna stared at the reporter, as if a dormant beast had come out of its cage, trying to tear him apart and eat him.He clearly wrote down the other party's brand name and company, watched the man tremble, and snorted coldly to reach for the microphone.

However, Karna held his hand under the table, firm and warm.

This was a very dangerous action, but Karna remained calm, and immediately let go of his hands, and then raised and lowered the microphone in front of him.

The man's body leaned forward slightly, his brows and eyes softened by bangs were exposed under the round tube lamp, his facial features were unexpectedly sharp, and he spoke calmly and indifferently.

"If you want to hint at something, feel free to say so."

"I'm just asking..."

"I didn't interrupt you when you first made a speech, and now I hope you can give me the respect I deserve." He spared no room:

"If it is not implied, then I would say that Arjuna and I did spontaneously form a band when we were classmates. However, we were purely out of our love for music and performance, and we separated after graduating from university due to the shift of interest preferences. When Mr. Da Vinci was casting the cast, he hid the roster. The two of us only saw each other on the spot."

"The fact is that it is difficult for us to control many rumors. I believe everyone can treat them rationally."

There was thunderous applause, and Merlin Roman interjected at the right time:

"Ah, overtime warning, you have too many questions. Now I can't talk about the king's story..."

"Thank you so much for holding back."

"Troublesome, but the next two are also 'kings'." As soon as the words fell, Merlin and Roman closed the script book together:

"Mr. Gilgamesh, please!"

"With Mister Ozymandias!"

Wow.The audience watched the two tyrannical, cool and glamorous CEOs come on stage, and applauded vigorously with the others. At the same time, I wanted to blow a whistle of appreciation for this excellent Jia Ge, excellent public relations, and excellent rescue president—because it was too impolite Shengsheng endured the internal injury.

When Arjuna left the stage, his thoughts wandered for a long time.

——Karna like this really made him miss it a little.
