Chapter 1

At four thirty in the morning, the response came quickly from over there, "What did you dream he was doing?"

Later, in the car, Nan Chu explained to Xi Gu, "What should one do if a person drags you into the bushes and assaults you, and you are unable to escape?"

After the doctor's diagnosis, it is a dust allergy. "What did you apply?"

That expression was as if a Thomas the Tank Engine had just passed by in front of me

"West Gu." The young girl answered truthfully.

"She is really small." The little girl is quite shy; she blushes when complimented. Nan Chu pinched her cheek and said, "Go on."

Westward conditioned reflex, "No."

Nan Chu waited at the door for a while

Nan Chu squatted on the ground, lit a cigarette, took a puff, tilted his head back, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring, gazing at the dissipating bluish-white smoke, thinking: Time really flies, it has been five years so quickly

The group is mostly composed of newcomers, everyone is busy greeting each other, exchanging WeChat and Weibo contacts, while Nan Chu remains the most composed, reading books and playing games.

Nan turned his head back

Nan Chu then said with satisfaction: "Let us depart"

The coffee nearly sprayed out, and Nan Chu reached out to touch the back of her head, smiling: "The little girl is quite righteous."

All affectionate relationships are fleeting and difficult to sustain. Life is filled with fears, and existence is as precarious as morning dew

He leaned against the wall, exhaling smoke, while lowering his head to play with the lighter in his hand

The female doctor smiled: "You still look better in this outfit, let's go, I will take you there"

Yan Dai stopped crying again, took a couple of breaths, "Really?"

The young girl truly cannot withstand teasing and dares not look at Nan Chu again

The stage crew always misplaces the props, the photographer's hands are perpetually shaky, the actors can never remember their lines, and the director is constantly calling for a cut. Except for the director, all the other actors are newcomers, so the adjustment period is inevitably longer than that of other film crews

Nan Chu shrugged, stared at the little girl for a while, with her straight bangs, doll shirt, and short skirt, and kindly asked: "How old are you?"

Xi Gu was pulled aside by Nan Chu, and the view before him opened up. At the end of the corridor stood a figure.

The meeting has just started

On that day, Nan Chu and Xi Gu were chatting under the shade of a tree. In the midst of their conversation, Shen Guangzong approached and said: "Xiao Xi, please go over and help those actresses with their makeup."

Here, Shen Guangzong is going crazy: "Are one or two of you planning to rebel?!"

With a hiss, a flame flickered to life in the darkness, quickly extinguishing, as smoke spread and the sparks at my fingertips glimmered in and out of existence

Do not overthink it, you are simply in heat and need a man

As soon as the words were spoken, she was pulled aside. Nan Chu leaned against the wall, her淡眼睛 gazing at Xi Gu, but her words were directed at Shen Guangzong: "Don't always look for someone to take the blame when something goes wrong; I believe her."

The director said with irritation: "Then what did you do? Why are you like this? Isn't anyone else like this?"

At the end of the corridor, a cigarette was extinguished, and the person took another one from their pocket, lowered their head to light it. In the darkness, the light was extinguished in an instant, leaving only the faint glow of embers flickering in the dark

Nan Chu was smoking, squinting his eyes, deep in thought

"Enough of this nonsense!" Shen Guangzong placed his hands on his hips, glared at her, and pointed at her twice with his right hand, saying, "Do you not want to continue working anymore?"

... ...

From love arises sorrow, from love arises fear. If one is free from love, there is neither sorrow nor fear

Do you not care

Xi Gu was taken aback, not expecting her to be so direct, "Not yet..."

Having lost patience, just as I turned around, I heard a voice behind me say: "Captain Lin!"

The female doctor in a white coat jogged over there in small steps. The man was a head taller than her, looking up with a gentle voice: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Just as they were about to leave, Xi Gu was carrying the suitcase when Nan Chu suddenly said, "Wait a moment." After saying this, she turned back to the room, pulled out a package from the bedside table, and asked Xi Gu to open the suitcase to stuff the items inside.

There really isn't any

Nan Chu truly does not care, her gaze is filled with indifference

The footsteps of the two individuals gradually faded away

In the evening, a female actress from Nan Chu's company, who plays the role of the third female lead Yan Dai in the drama, had an allergic reaction, resulting in swollen and breakout-prone skin on her face. She tearfully complained to the director, who had already been feeling troubled due to the filming schedule issues. Upon seeing this, and with the possibility of her withdrawing from the performance, he naturally had nothing good to say: "What on earth did you eat to cause this allergy? How can you be so careless if you want to be an actress?"

Nan Chu glanced at him while putting on his shoes, his face unfamiliar, and lazily said: "New here?"

Yan Dai pouted, feeling particularly wronged: "I only had Nan Chu's assistant touch up my makeup this afternoon, I didn't do anything else!"

Nan Chu's gaze came to a halt

"Nonsense." The doctor rolled his eyes

I dreamed of him again

She never speaks ill of others, nor does she discuss gossip, remaining indifferent to the world

The lights were off indoors, the curtains tightly drawn, and it was pitch dark. She propped herself up against the headboard of the bed, reaching out to feel for the cigarettes and lighter on the bedside table

In the night, Yan Dai's face became increasingly swollen and high, and Nan Chu, along with Shen Guangzong, rushed her to the hospital.

There is a sense of bravado, a sense of righteousness, yet they are not contradictory in the slightest

The director, after much consideration, still feels that this young woman is the most pleasant and agreeable. She does not procrastinate during filming, quickly immerses herself in her role, and spends her free time reading to cultivate her character. In this day and age, there are truly not many young women with such a calm disposition.

Nan Chu appeared somewhat out of place

No

Nan Chu shrugged, "What are you so nervous about? I won't eat her."

Xi Gu is unwilling: "Isn't there a makeup artist in the group?"

... ...

Ten minutes later, Xi Gu returned after finishing her makeup

That person seemed to be frozen in place

Yan Dai cried, "I haven't eaten anything!"

Xi Gu sat down beside her, "They are speaking ill of you behind your back."

Nan Chu plays the second female lead, with few lines. When not filming, she sits on the side reading. As Xi Gu interacts with her, he discovers that Nan Chu is actually not difficult to get along with; she simply feels a bit lazy about dealing with those interpersonal relationships

Shen Guangzong was also unable to clarify the situation with Xi Gu, although he knew that the young girl probably did not have the audacity to act so boldly. He felt that he should at least apologize to Yan Dai, so he pulled Xi Gu inside.

Nan Chu applied her lipstick and tossed it into her makeup bag, glanced at the mirror, and pressed her lips together twice, "Not bad."

... ...

Nan Chu got out of bed and bent down to look for her slippers. Shen Guangzong kicked one over to her and said, "You need to go to the set today; later, let Xi Gu help you pack your things."

I do not care about others; I only ask that you stop constantly confronting General Han. If you truly provoke him to anger and he decides to blacklist you, how will you continue to get by

The doctor frowned and said, "A few days of applying the medicine will suffice, why are you crying"

The Diamond Sutra

Twenty-one

Nan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

After finishing the phone call, Shen Guangzong turned around and saw this scene, thinking that Nan Chu was up to no good again. He shouted hoarsely, "This was personally arranged for you by General Manager Han. If you make me angry, I really won't care about you anymore!"

Lin Luxiao stubbed out his cigarette, lowered his head, and tossed it into the nearby trash can. He then slipped his hand into his pants pocket and said, "I just arrived not long ago"

She does not care much, "Why should one care?"

At the age of eighteen, rumors about boyfriends were rampant, quite scandalous

One day, the director saw Nan Chu sitting under the shade of a tree, reading "The Decameron." He sat down and asked, "Do you like Boccaccio's novels?"

Xi Gu felt that even the sunlight behind him had grown indifferent

The man was dressed in ordinary clothes, tall and robust, like a green pine, standing upright. He was shrouded in darkness, surrounded by swirling smoke, leaning against the wall while smoking.

Nan Chuyuan was originally a model. At the beginning of the year, she was signed by Jiahe. Her fame is not substantial, and she has already changed assistants three or four times. It is unclear whether the previous assistants were incompatible with Nan Chuyuan or if she is difficult to get along with.

In this world, apart from life and death, which matter is not trivial

Xi Gu occasionally hears gossip about Nan Chu

Three days into the production, the actors have not all arrived, and even Xigu has recognized that this is a rather unprofessional crew

"If you cannot silence others, then cover your own ears"

People's hearts differ, each reflecting their own face

Nan Chu: "Please do them a favor."

Hand him a condom, it is safer than anything else

Xi Gu was still quietly explaining: "Zong Ge, it really wasn't me. If you don't believe me, you can have them check my makeup bag"

Xi Gu could not help but tease, blushing as she ran away

Nan Chu gently patted her head, "What’s wrong? Did they scold you?"

After finishing the calm reading, Nan Chuping cursed "you sister" at the phone, tossed it aside, leaned against the headboard, closed his eyes, and began to recall the scenes from his dreams

... ...

The dim corridor wrapped the voice in an even colder raspiness

"Engage in love." Nan Chu returns.

Xi Gu is helping Nan Chu pack her luggage and hears her busy voice saying: "Zong Ge, Sister Nan Chu is quite nice"

A gust of wind swept through, scattering the smoke, drifting this way

Mainly focused on the bed scenes

Shen Guangzong has done nothing these past three months, only focusing on finding her an assistant. Just mentioning this makes me angry, rolling my eyes and warning: "Could you please get along well with her, alright?"

The person finally straightened up and walked out of the darkness, revealing a face that was both refined and full of youthful vigor

The director stood up silently

On the floor, the shadow of a person is elongated.

He has a thin face, a neat short haircut, and deep-set eyebrows and eyes. The corners of his eyes are slightly upturned, and he has a prominent nose. The military uniform he wears accentuates his taut jawline, making it appear somewhat rigid. When he casually jokes with you, the corners of his eyes lift slightly, revealing a sense of nonchalance, leaving no one able to guess what he is truly thinking.

Intern Assistant and Makeup Artist

The director is a serious and composed individual

Ah?

It seems that someone is being waited for

The man was naked, with bronze-colored skin, bulging muscles, smooth lines, a buzz cut, extremely short black hair, and a pair of seemingly unmarked, deep-set eyes

Three days later, the director sat in the studio, smoking in despair.

Xi Gu cast a glance at the several actresses over there, lowered his head, and remained silent

Yan Daiwa burst into tears immediately

Just as the world is towards her

Xi Gu held the pack of condoms, momentarily unsure of where to put it, when he heard a voice from above say, "Put it in the compartment next to it"

After a while, she picked up the phone from the bedside and quickly typed a few words

I saw her discussing the yellow book with the director the other day

The director speaks eloquently and is also a person of ideas, providing a thorough analysis

Nan Chu glanced at Xi Gu, who innocently shrugged his shoulders

Those who engage in such idle chatter will turn around and greet Nan Chulu with a smile, as if they are performing in a play. Once the director calls 'cut', their expressions immediately revert. Xi Gu did not expect that these individuals could wield their acting skills so effortlessly in real life

Shen Guangzong let out a cry, furrowing his brows and placing his hands on his hips: "Are you rebelling?"

"Go ahead, how did they offend you?" Nan Chu said while sipping her coffee

Then don't be petty, go help them out a bit

Nan Chuchong blinked her eyes

The two words "Qing Luo" struck Shen Guangzong's heart with an unsettling chill

She has no father

Indeed, Boccaccio's novels exhibit a profound representation of human nature, particularly in the ninth story among them

How did I end up wearing this outfit

Shen Guangzong dragged Xi Gu to the corridor and asked, "What did you apply on her?"

The sound of high heels striking the floor echoed through the empty corridor

Xi Gu reluctantly stood up, while Nan Chu rubbed her hair again: "Be obedient"

In the midst of speaking, he pushed a little girl in front of her

Nan Chu glanced at the director, curled the corner of the page with his index finger, and turned to the next page, saying, "It's quite good."

As dawn approached, Nan Chu awoke from her dream, drenched in cold sweat

After Nan Chu finished listening, "I have a shallow understanding."

Assistant and makeup artist, after all, it is hard to find such inexpensive services anywhere else

Nan Chu reads a wide variety of books, encompassing everything

At 6:10, the agent Shen Guangzong entered with his assistant, saying, "Get up and put on your makeup"

Xi Gu blushed and complied, then quickly closed and secured the suitcase

What is it called

Xi Gu was anxious, tears welling up in her eyes: "I really didn't apply anything on her, if you want me to retouch her makeup, I did that, but who knew she was allergic to cosmetics?"

Xi Gu: "... ..."
