Lucas Xie and Zhou Rong met at a Japanese restaurant run by someone in the circle, and they did a good job of keeping it a secret.
Even so, Lucas Xie still disguised himself before coming and was very cautious. Noah Gao forced him to be cautious, fearing that Zhou Rong would plot against him and take photos, and then come out to take advantage of the popularity.
When he opened the door of the private room, Zhou Rong had already arrived. With a delicate and pale face, he looked up at him. His eyes seemed sad and worried, and his expression was difficult to speak. It was obvious that he had something to ask for help, but he didn't know how to start.
After Lucas Xie closed the door, he took off his decorative glasses, sat down, poured a cup of tea for Zhou Rong, and pushed it over, saying, "Sorry for the wait."
Zhou Rong held the teacup in both hands and shook his head in annoyance. Lucas Xie observed Zhou Rong carefully and found that his ex had lost a lot of weight. He didn't know what happened to him.
He softened his voice, took his time, and slowly let Zhou Rong relax and finally tell him what trouble he had caused.
It turned out that Zhou Rong was favored by the company's senior management, who wanted to support him. Of course Zhou Rong didn't want to do that. He had dated a person like Lucas Xie, so how could he be attracted to someone else? What's more, the senior management was fat and disgusting.
Zhou Rong refused to comply and was suppressed and hidden. Even if he was able to get resources, he would be the kind of character who was extremely miserable and had to endure bullying just by staying in the crew.
At this point, Zhou Rong burst into tears, wiping away tears while saying: "I originally thought that at worst I would just quit the entertainment industry and do something else. But he withheld my contract and insisted that my penalty for breach of contract would be tens of millions, and I don't have that much money."
In fact, he doesn't have to pay, but that would require a lawsuit. Zhou Rong's family is not well off, and he has a mother who takes medicine at home. How can he afford the cost of a lawsuit? But if he continues to be bullied by that senior executive, he will not be able to bear it sooner or later.
After listening to this, Lucas Xie pondered and said, "Do you want me to help you pay the penalty?"
When Zhou Rong heard this, her eyes widened with fear, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she looked pitiful and cute: "How is this possible? How can I afford to pay back tens of millions?"
It turned out that Zhou Rong just wanted Lucas Xie to spread the word that he was Lucas Xie's man. After the top leaders knew about it, they would naturally stop forcing him and attracting his attention.
When he was in love with Lucas Xie, no one dared to make moves on him. But he came here today, not for money or anything else, but just wanted Lucas Xie to protect him.
Zhou Rong knew that he was being shameless. They had broken up, but he still had to beg his ex to help him. It was clearly him who proposed the breakup, and Lucas Xie had tried to keep him.
As he begged, his voice became weaker and weaker. At this moment, a tissue was handed to him, and he heard Lucas Xie's low and soft voice: "Don't cry, it's not difficult for me, I will help you."
Zhou Rong took the paper, pressed his eyes, and took a deep breath: "How can I repay you?"
Zhou Rong finally mustered up the courage to look at Lucas Xie, only to see the man in front of him propping his chin with his hand, looking at him with those beautiful and affectionate eyes, like a child asking for candy, and smiling mischievously: "Then play the guitar for me."
Zhou Rong was stunned: "Now?" There was no guitar at hand. Could it be that he meant to play it the next time they met? Would they meet again? Zhou Rong's heartbeat accelerated, pounding.
Lucas Xie seemed to realize that this suggestion was inappropriate, and said, "It's okay, we can do it next time." He paused and said, "Video and audio are both fine."
After coaxing the man into submission, Lucas Xie ordered the food and served it, leaving Zhou Rong time to deal with his disheveled appearance, so that he would not be embarrassed if seen by others.
Although they were a couple who had just broken up, Lucas Xie was good at chatting and controlling the atmosphere. It didn't take long for him to make Zhou Rong laugh and dispel the sadness on his face.
After the dinner, Lucas Xie asked Yangyang to call a taxi to take Zhou Rong back.
Noah Gao was very reluctant to do it after knowing what Zhou Rong asked him to do, but he still obeyed and handled it. Sure enough, the senior executives no longer made things difficult for Zhou Rong. Zhou Rong also uploaded a video on WeChat, in which he played and sang "Romance of Love" to Lucas Xie, and he knew that Lucas Xie liked this song.
Soon, the filming of "Birth" was about to start. Lucas Xie and two assistants arrived at the film and television city where the crew of "Birth" was located and stayed in the hotel arranged by the crew.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Lucas Xie had just taken a shower when he received a notice from Victor Zhong, asking him to go to 601, which was Victor Zhong's room.
He lives on the eighth floor, room 806, and he doesn't know where Gabriel Fu lives.
Lucas Xie's hair had not dried yet, so he could only change his clothes temporarily, tie up his wet hair with a rubber band, and take the script to 601.
When we arrived at Room 601, Victor Zhong and screenwriter Miles Xiang were in the room, calling the two main actors to come for a meeting. The rest of the crew had already held a meeting in the lobby downstairs, and this time they called the main actors mainly to find out how their relationship was developing.
When Lucas Xie heard the words "relationship development", his body stiffened slightly, and he felt very embarrassed. He and Gabriel Fu had barely spoken to each other in the past few months, so how could there be any relationship?
At this time, Gabriel Fu came. Gabriel Fu didn't bring the script, but only a mobile phone. After walking into the room, Victor Zhong repeated what he had said to Lucas Xie.
Sure enough, when he heard about cultivating feelings, Gabriel Fu also glanced at Lucas Xie.
Victor Zhong saw the two of them flirting with each other, and it was obvious that something was wrong. Victor Zhong thought to himself, these two brats, could they really cause trouble?
Before he could be angry for long, he realized something was wrong. After the two men finished the rehearsal, Miles Xiang remained silent, Victor Zhong took out a cigarette, and Lucas Xie and Gabriel Fu sat far apart as soon as they finished, one at one end of the room and the other at the other.
Victor Zhong smoked half a cigarette before he said in a hoarse voice: "What's wrong with you two?"
Lucas Xie didn't say anything, Gabriel Fu said: "Teacher, I'm not in a good condition, I..."
Victor Zhong interrupted him rudely: "I know, but what's wrong with you?" He looked at Lucas Xie.
Lucas Xie felt uncomfortable under Victor Zhong's sharp gaze. He lowered his head weakly and said sorry. The wet ends of his hair splashed water between his brows and slid into his eye sockets like tear marks.
No matter how angry you are, you will be suppressed a little bit in front of a good-looking person. However, Victor Zhong really doesn't like Lucas Xie. Moreover, Lucas Xie's performance tonight was not even one-tenth of his audition. He even suspected that this big star was playing a trick on him and the truth was revealed after the contract was signed.
Seeing that Victor Zhong was about to lose his temper and was about to say something unpleasant, Lucas Xie sighed silently, closed his eyes, and planned to let Victor Zhong scold him. It was his fault that he had indeed performed poorly.
Before Victor Zhong could say anything, he heard a voice coming from in front of him. He opened his eyes and saw Gabriel Fu standing in front of him with his back to him: "Teacher, both of us are not in good condition. How can you be partial and only scold him but not me?"
Victor Zhong was almost laughing out of anger: "I'll scold you again later, get out of here."
Gabriel Fu: "No, this is my senior brother, I have to protect him."
Zhong Changmin: "You know how to protect me now? What were you doing just now?!"
Gabriel Fu: "You were not in good condition just now, let's try again."
Victor Zhong: "Are you the director or am I the director?"
Gabriel Fu ignored him and turned around to hold out his hand to Lucas Xie: "Brother, get up. Let's go through the play again."
Lucas Xie looked at him in astonishment, and after a long while he stretched out his hand tremblingly. No one knew how bitter he felt at that moment.
Like a small flame in the cold night that could go out at any time.
Obviously he couldn't bear it any longer, but he couldn't bear to let go. In the end, he was thrown into the fire of resurrection by emotions and it burned again.
He put his hand into Gabriel Fu's palm.
Gabriel Fu shook it back.
