"Just a short nap."
After Xu Chun finished speaking, she couldn't help but yawn again, her eyelashes glistening with tears; she seemed extremely tired.
Xie Jianyuan sighed softly with a hint of helplessness, his smile filled with a touch of doting and indulgence.
"Then I'll call you later."
This scene caught Shen Zhu's eye, and he couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.
Xu Huaizhou, on the other hand, kept his eyes closed, resting. A chilling aura, keeping strangers at bay, surrounded him, making him appear like a...
High Mountain Flower
That's what it looks like.
A suffocating silence suddenly fell over the room.
Finally, Shen Zhu started the conversation, laughing, "The production team said that for the sake of the show, there will be a surprise for us tomorrow. What do you think it is?"
No one answered him.
Xu Chun was already half asleep, and Xie Jianyuan since Xu Chun couldn't see. In the end, Xu Huaizhou slowly opened his eyes and said indifferently, "Anyway, it's just the same few tricks over and over again."
Xu Chun, half asleep and half awake, suddenly heard her idol's voice and jolted awake.
"Xu Chun is awake?" Shen Zhu noticed Xu Chun and asked. After speaking, he seemed to remember something and teased, "I remember Xu Chun idolizing Brother Xu, right? I remember you've watched all the movies and TV series Brother Xu has acted in."
Although he is called Brother Xu, Xu Huaizhou is actually not that old.
Xie Jianyuan hearing Shen Zhu's words, Xie Jianyuan turned to look at Xu Chun, as if trying to discern something from his expression.
Xu Chun frowned slightly. Because of what happened in his previous life, he disliked Shen Zhu very much. Compared to people who were openly hostile, Shen Zhu was much more difficult to guard against.
Shen Zhu was a friend he met shortly after he officially entered the entertainment industry. At that time, neither of them was very famous, and they went through thick and thin together for a period of time. Therefore, Xu Chun always placed him in the position of his most important friend, but he never expected that he would treat him that way in the end.
However, despite thinking this in her heart, Xu Chun couldn't show her impatience on her face. After all, she had been in the industry for a long time, and she certainly couldn't show her emotions on her face in front of people she was wary of.
"Yes, I really enjoy watching the TV dramas and movies that Brother Xu acts in." Xu Chun smiled gently, his expression revealing nothing unusual.
Xu Huaizhou suddenly looked at Xu Chun, seemingly intrigued, "What TV dramas and movies have you been watching?"
Xu Chun felt a little nervous when asked a question by her idol, and carefully answered a few names in her tone.
Xu Huaizhou nodded coldly again and remained silent.
Xie Jianyuan remained silent, watching them intently. His dark eyes were like a thick black fog, making it impossible to discern his emotions.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly chuckled softly, his expression ambiguous, and said, "Wasn't Brother Chun going to sleep? Why did you suddenly wake up?"
Hearing him say that, Xu Chun looked away awkwardly. How could he possibly admit that he had woken up because he heard Xu Huaizhou's voice?
Xie Jianyuan, unusually, didn't stop talking and continued to press, "I've been calling for so long, but Brother Chun doesn't even want to open his eyes."
At the end of his speech, whether he was being genuine or pretending, he even sighed with a defeated expression.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chun felt a pang of guilt. Although he often scolded Xu Jin, he was someone who responded better to gentle persuasion than force. Seeing Xie Jianyuan's reaction, he quickly said, "It's not like that."
Why is that?
Xu Chun racked her brains and struggled to explain, "It was when he called me just now... I happened to wake up, yes, that's it."
After saying these utterly unconvincing words, he didn't even believe them himself, and didn't dare look at Xie Jianyuan's face.
Xie Jianyuan's gaze slowly moved down from Xu Chun's flushed face to his disheveled shirt. The collar of his bathrobe had loosened slightly, revealing a large expanse of his fair chest, but because it was hidden in the water, no one noticed.
Xie Jianyuan glanced at the other two and saw that Shen Zhu and Xu Huaizhou were talking and hadn't noticed them. He then lowered his eyelashes slightly, subtly concealing his gaze.
Xu Chun felt awkward, but seeing that Xie Jianyuan didn't say anything, she simply let the matter rest.
After soaking for about forty minutes, Xu Huaizhou got up to leave. Xu Chun also wanted to leave, but hesitated for a while and sat back down. After all, it would look a bit strange if she followed Xu Huaizhou out.
However, he had indeed soaked for quite a while and was just waiting for the first person to leave.
Shen Zhu continued to relentlessly try to find topics to chat with Xu Chun, which made him even more impatient, but he still smiled gently and answered him, occasionally even laughing.
"But how did Xu Chun and Jianyuan become so close?" Shen Zhu suddenly asked casually, and both Xu Chun and Xie Jianyuan were slightly taken aback.
"We naturally became familiar with each other after working together for a while," Xu Chun said with a gentle smile.
Shen Zhu said, "I just feel that since returning to China, Xu Chun and I have become much more distant, and I don't know why."
Since he laid it all out in the open, Xu Chun could only smile and give a few perfunctory replies. Fortunately, Shen Zhu didn't seem inclined to dwell on the topic any further.
"Brother Chun, I'm almost done. Are you coming or not?" Xie Jianyuan seemed to know what Xu Chun was thinking and suddenly asked him in a deep voice, which made Xu Chun breathe a sigh of relief.
Let's go.
In the changing room, Xu Chun was drying his hair and closing the locker door. He had already changed his clothes and was about to leave when someone tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw Xie Jianyuan.
"Brother Chun, I'd like to go to your room later."
Xu Chun laughed and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xie Jianyuan smiled slightly, "I'm a little curious about Brother Xu you mentioned. I'd like to see his work with you, hoping I can improve myself."
