A calm person shouted unbearably: "Are you the king of destruction? Why did you flush it with water! Didn't you see the big words 'no water entering the nose of the machine'!"

"I saw it." Guan Qianyue took a step back, as if he was afraid that Chu Quan would hit him.After retreating to a safe area, he helplessly spread his hands: "It's already too late when I see it."

Chu Quan didn't think it was an interesting thing, but when he was stared at with a smile on his face by a person who should be ashamed, he felt embarrassed and said stiffly, "Forget it."

"To compensate you, I ordered takeaway." Guan Qianyue said, "It will be here in a while."

Chu Quan did not expect such compensation. "Takeaway is not allowed," he said, "Mr. Zou's house was stolen some time ago, and now it is strictly controlled."

"Really." Guan Qianyue said indifferently: "Then let Guan Chi wait for a while."

Chu Quan was startled: "Who?"

"Guan Chi," Guan Qianyue seemed to find Chu Quan's surprised look very amusing, and said with a smile, "He has something to discuss with me, so I'll ask him to bring a breakfast by the way."

Chu Quan felt that it was unreal that the chairman of the gate was being used as a takeaway boy. He glanced at the contented person next to him and asked casually, "Is it a business matter?"

"Well," Guan Qianyue hesitated for a moment, "I'm in some trouble."

Thinking of the meeting with Lu Ming, Chu Quan felt faintly worried.He was about to tell Lu Ming's bold words to the other party when Guan Qianyue's cell phone rang.

"The security guards won't let you in," Guan Qianyue blinked at Chu Quan triumphantly, and said to the phone, "Then you can figure it out yourself, I'm at Chu Quan's house."

"Do you think I don't know that you are in the same neighborhood as him?" Guan Chi growled angrily from the other end: "Get out if you don't eat. I have something to discuss with you."

"Such a bad temper." Guan Qianyue said a few more nonsense words before letting the security guard let Guan Chi go.

After hanging up the phone, he smiled at Chu Quan: "Don't worry."

What Chu Quan was going to say turned around in his throat. "When did I say I was worried?"

"I'll get you breakfast." Guan Qianyue showed a mysterious smile, and trotted away.

After a while, Chu Quan heard movement outside, and opened the door to see a car parked by the side of the road. Guan Chi, who was wearing a suit and tie, stepped out of the car door and greeted Chu Quan: "Mr. Chu."

Although the other party was polite as usual, Chu Quan still felt nervous and embarrassed.

"Mr. Guan," he smiled, "Why are you free to come over today?"

"Just call Big Brother." Guan Chi's eyes paused for a few seconds on Chu Quan's neckline, and then moved away calmly.

Chu Quan felt the blood rushing up all over his body, his cheeks were hot, and he pulled his collar tightly to hide it: "Uh..."

"What's the matter?" Guan Qianyue got off the co-pilot and handed the takeaway box to Chu Quan: "Breakfast." The blushing Chu Quan made him feel very fresh. , you wait outside."

"Mr. Guan, do you want to go in and sit?" Chu Quan was pushed back by Guan Qianyue, and out of politeness, he forced himself to ask.

Unexpectedly, two Mr. Guan answered at the same time.

"Yeah."

"Next time, thank you."

Guan Qianyue turned her head impatiently and glared at Guan Chi: "I didn't talk to you."

Chu Quan entered the room and changed his clothes. Seeing Guan Qianyue sitting leisurely at the dining table eating breakfast, he asked anxiously, "Is it alright for your brother to wait outside?"

"It's okay." Guan Qianyue bit half of a fried dumpling in his mouth and said vaguely, "When will you join the group?"

"Next week."

"I'll be busy in the next few days." Guan Qianyue sighed irritably and exaggeratedly: "It's so annoying."

It looked like a big dog eagerly waiting for its owner to smooth its fur, which made Chu Quan feel funny.He sat down to have breakfast, and briefly told Guan Qianyue about his meeting with Lu Ming.

"He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?" Guan Qianyue frowned.

The matter of putting Yu Zeyang in the crew was not considered "difficult". Chu Quan didn't want to be taken care of in everything, so he kept silent. "I'm fine. Your family...is your business okay?"

"Someone came to investigate a fund under the group recently. It should be related to Lu Ming." Guan Qianyue squeezed the tip of his chopsticks and shook them unconsciously, with a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth: "He has a big appetite. very."

Without waiting for Chu Quan to say anything, he took out a napkin and wiped his mouth: "I'm leaving first, are you...at home these days?"

"Not necessarily," Chu Quan said, "I'm going to join the group soon, and I might have to go out and walk around."

Guan Qianyue pursed her lips in disappointment, and took off the coat from the coat rack.Chu Quan followed, pressed a few times on the fingerprint reader at the door, and asked Guan Qianyue to stick his thumb on it.

Guan Qianyue looked at him in surprise, stomped his feet on the spot, and said hesitantly, "This is...?"

"You know the password." Chu Quan combed back his slightly long hair, and said nonchalantly, "Come if you want. It's cold, don't wait outside."

Guan Qianyue covered the sensor with Chu Quan's body temperature with his thumb, and it seemed that he touched the other party's heart for a moment.

Chu Quan put one hand in his trouser pocket, his brows and eyes were extraordinarily soft and moist in the morning sun.He pushed the door open for Guan Qianyue, and Guan Chi on the side of the road honked his horn in retaliation.

Guan Qianyue pressed a kiss on Chu Quan's lips, and the heavy door panel hit the wall with a "boom".

"Remember to miss me."

Chu Quan suddenly became busy.The opening ceremony was followed by intense filming, which made it difficult for him to adapt to the leisurely work for several years.In the first few days of the filming, he sometimes recited his lines, and suddenly lost his mind, feeling unreal like waking up from a big dream.Fortunately, his partner Zhou Mian is a young junior with high acting skills and EQ. The two hit it off immediately and cooperated tacitly. Chu Quan followed each other's rhythm and gradually recovered his state after a few days.

"Dark Night" was filmed in this city, and the crew lived in a four-star hotel.Yu Zeyang is a cameo, and he doesn't have many scenes. He just needs to squeeze out time for two days of filming in the post-production, so Chu Quan hasn't met him face-to-face.And Xue Huaijing is considered an important character, a resident of the crew, and his room is diagonally opposite Chu Quan.The two met several times in the corridor, but Chu Quan was so upset at that time that he didn't even bother to answer Guan Qianyue's call, and greeting him was perfunctory.Now that the filming is progressing smoothly, Chu Quan has a free mind, and the whispers of the lighting, props, and assistants in the crew have reached his ears.

At the beginning, it was rumored that Guangya's chairman bought Feitian for Xue Huaijing. Although it was nothing later and the two didn't seem to meet each other, there were still rumors circulating in the crew that Guan Qianyue took care of Xue Huaijing.

The protagonist of the gossip is impeccable.Xue Huaijing is neither humble nor overbearing, respects Yan Xun, Chu Quan, and Zhou Mian, and is also polite and polite to other staff members. Most importantly, his acting skills have been affirmed by Yan Xun.Chu Quan was also present when Yan Xun praised him. He pinched the script with his fingers and crumpled the paper.

Yes, he was jealous, and he couldn't admit it.Ever since Xue Huaijing took a photo with him at the dinner party of the Heart Lantern Night, he didn't like this person.

The day ended early, Zhou Mian and Chu Quan chatted and went back to the hotel together.On the way, Xue Huaijing appeared out of nowhere, and greeted them both: "Brother Zhou, Brother Chu."

Chu Quan glanced at him and nodded coldly.The three of them went back to the hotel together, and the atmosphere suddenly became very strange. They were chatting and laughing, but now no one spoke.

When Chu Quan picked up the phone again, Zhou Mian said jokingly, "Brother Chu, are you waiting for an important call? I watched it several times along the way."

Chu Quan was embarrassed for a while, his hands froze in the air, and after a while, he put them into his trouser pockets as if nothing had happened. "I have a friend." From the corner of his eye, he caught Xue Huaijing giving him an almost resentful look, and deliberately changed his tone: "He said he wanted to invite me to dinner, but he kept breaking the appointment."

"Haha," Zhou Mian joked, "I can't tell that Brother Chu Quan is still a foodie."

"That's right." Chu Quan also smiled, chatting with Zhou Mian for a while, Xue Huaijing next to him tried to intervene, but he was always cold.Just keep silent.

The three lived on the same floor, but Zhou Mian was on the west side, Xue Huaijing and Chu Quan were on the east side.After Zhou Mian bid them farewell, Chu Quan and Xue Huaijing ignored each other, and the only sound left in the silent corridor was the slight creaking sound of the carpet being trampled and squeezed.

At the door of the room, Chu Quan finally broke the oppressive atmosphere: "Then I'll rest first."

"Brother Chu," Xue Huaijing stretched out his right hand hanging by his side slightly, as if it was a gesture of restraint.

Knowing that he had something to say, Chu Quan stopped in his tracks.

"I don't know what I did wrong, which made you unhappy." Xue Huaijing didn't have much expression on his face, but the corners of his raised eyes revealed a trace of forbearing pride: "If you tell me, I will definitely change it."

Chu Quan looked at him for a while, and suddenly showed a kind smile. "You misunderstood," he said, "I'm just tired recently, don't think too much."

Xue Huaijing showed surprise just right, even tilted his head in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "So that's the case, I'm sorry, Brother Chu."

The two said goodbye politely.After closing the door, the bright smile on his face collapsed.

Chu Quan lay on the bed tiredly, turned on his cell phone, but still didn't close any calls or WeChat messages from Qianyue.He put his arms across his eyes, thinking belatedly, he must be angry, right?

Ever since he met Guan Qianyue, that person has always been rushing to bother him. A few days ago, Chu Quan was not in the mood for filming, so he didn't answer Guan Qianyue's phone call. Unexpectedly, this person would never call again.

He thought about it carefully, and with Guan Qianyue's character, it was unlikely that he would be angry about this kind of thing, so it must be that the company's troubles have not been resolved.Ever since Guan Chi called him away, Guan Qianyue was so busy that he couldn't see anyone. Except for one night, smelling of alcohol, he crawled into Chu Quan's bed and hugged him to sleep. The two hardly saw each other.

Chu Quan knew that it would be troublesome to deal with the people from above.But Guan Qianyue's uncles are engaged in politics in the country, and the Guan family's business is fairly honest, so it is usually impossible to find out about them.It seems that this time Lu Ming has also spent a lot of money, probably using all the relationships within his ability.

In the past two days, the first thing Chu Quan did when he got up was to check the political and financial news, for fear of seeing negative news about the Guan family.The calmer the weather, the more frightened he was, but Guan Qianyue hadn't heard from him at all, which made people think the worst.

After all, they hadn't seen each other for more than half a month.Chu Quan hesitated for a long time, and finally tentatively sent a WeChat message: "What are you doing?"

This was the first time he took the initiative to contact Guan Qianyue.Chu Quan sat up from the bed, paced around the room a few times anxiously, then grabbed his phone and recalled the message.

In the quaintly decorated house, the two brothers of the Guan family were listening to their uncle's lecture. One of them had a serious face, while the other's eyes were empty.The fund itself that had the accident this time did not have a big problem, but there were irregularities in its operation. But in extraordinary times, simply being labeled as money laundering is enough to ruin the goodwill of the group.Guan Qianyue's uncle helped to deal with it for a long time before the matter was suppressed.Originally the domestic assets were mainly managed by Guan Chi, but Guan Yongcheng had never been used to Guan Qianyue's cynical appearance, so he called the two brothers together to remind them.

Guan Yongcheng has been an official for a long time, and his speech is slow and long-winded. He started from his grandfather's generation and has not finished talking about the hardships of starting a business in an hour.Guan Qianyue's left ear went in and out of his right ear, and Erlang's legs turned up and down, so he was inevitably reprimanded by the old-fashioned elders.

The phone rang, just as Guan Yongcheng picked up his teacup to drink water, Guan Qianyue made a grimace of sticking out his tongue, and took out the phone under Guan Chi's disapproving gaze.After just one glance, he smiled, and proudly raised his chin at Guan Chi.As soon as he turned his head back, he saw Chu Quan withdraw the message.

Guan Chi couldn't help letting out a chuckle.

"Still laughing!" Guan Yongcheng patted the table, pointed at Guan Qianyue and said, "Put down the phone!"

The sun is gradually setting to the west, and a little orange light seeps through the cracks in the curtains.Chu Quan stayed in the hotel room for a while, during which Qin Lan came to ask him to eat, but he was not in the mood, so he ate snacks and recited his lines in the room.The next day, there was an important personal scene for him. He didn't want to make any mistakes, so he read the script over and over again, trying to figure out the character's psychology.

"Dark Night" tells a love-hate crime story.The lawyer played by Chu Quan is assigned by legal aid agencies and law firms to defend a death row prisoner.The victim's nickname is A Ling, and she is the object of the extramarital affair of the defendant Li Zhong.Li Zhong admitted that because A Ling was pregnant and refused to abort, he killed A Ling during the dispute.The case seemed very clear, with no defensible circumstances other than a confession.However, when the lawyer read the dossier, he found many doubts that did not match the confession.Because Li Zhong didn't cooperate, he investigated by himself. During the period, he met the police who were investigating the matter, and the two worked together to uncover the truth of the case step by step.It turned out that Li Zhong and his wife Zhang Xiaoru were at odds. After meeting A Ling, he fell madly in love with her and wanted to divorce his wife.Zhang Xiaoru loves her husband deeply but can't keep his heart. She procrastinates not to divorce, hoping that her husband will change his mind.A Ling and Li Zhong discussed killing Zhang Xiaoru, but Li Zhong hesitated, Zhang Xiaoru overheard the two discussing, so he planned to kill A Ling, and then had a showdown with Li Zhong.Li Zhong was in great pain, feeling sorry for the two women, and finally surrendered to the Public Security Bureau, which was the beginning of the scene.

Yan Xun did not follow the development of the plot to film.The scene where Chu Quan starred the next day was that after Zhang Xiaoru was captured by the police, he picked up a torn-up copy of "Letter from an Unknown Woman" in Zhang Xiaoru's room, and read the sentences in it in a low voice, which was the expression of Zhang Xiaoru's despair. portrayal.

This story is a bit tragic and makes people unbearable to read.Chu Quan sighed, put the script aside and went to take a shower.When he came out, he saw that the screen of his mobile phone was on, and Guan Qianyue sent a message, only two short words: "Miss you."

Chu Quan held the phone in front of his chest with both hands, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Soon Guan Qianyue's news came again: "Have you had dinner yet?"

"Eat," Chu Quan replied, "What about you?"

"I've just been trained by my uncle, and I'm so hungry." Guan Qianyue said, "He can really speak."

Chu Quan looked at the crying emoji, inexplicably felt that he looked like Mr. Guan himself, and typed with a smile: "Has the matter of the fund been resolved?"

"It's resolved, don't worry. Guan Chi is very angry and decided to clean up Lu Ming." A cheering emoji was attached.

Chu Quan sent a series of ellipses dumbfounded.

Guan Qianyue made a video call, and Chu Quan answered it.Through the screen, each other's faces looked a little strange.Guan Qianyue saw the pajamas on Chu Quan's body, his eyes lit up, and he smirked at the other end, constantly changing the angle to try to see the part under his collarbone.

Knowing that he was teasing himself, Chu Quan still covered the camera in anger, and said angrily, "Guan Qianyue!"

"What are you doing?" Guan Qianyue dragged out her tone, like a little boy acting like a spoiled child.He had a laugh in his voice, but deliberately made a look of grievance: "I haven't seen you for so many days, and I won't let you see."

Chu Quan buttoned the top button of his pajamas, and then took his hands away.

Guan Qianyue yawned lazily, and asked, "Is the filming going well?"

"It's okay." Chu Quan stared at the bottom of the screen: "Eating takeaway again?"

"Yes." A big face appeared on the screen with distinct eyelashes.Guan Qianyue smacked her lips: "I want to drink the strange porridge you cooked."

"It's so strange." Chu Quan recalled, "My mother's unique formula."

Guan Qianyue retracted her neck, lowered her head and fiddled with the takeaway box, and did not answer the conversation tactfully.

After a while, Chu Quan suddenly said: "Director Yan praised Xue Huaijing that day." He secretly tensed up, and his voice was a little dry, but Guan Qianyue, who was buried in unpacking the takeaway box, didn't notice it, but because the topic jumped too much. He let out a loud "ah" in doubt.

Chu Quan didn't explain, Guan Qianyue tore open the packaging bag of the chopsticks, and said casually, "He's not bad." He held up a box of duck skin and shook it in front of the camera, and said seductively, "Want to eat? Do you want to eat?" Do you want to eat?
