Chapter 2

Only a voice came from behind, "Lin Luxiao, why are you running?"

Ran Dongyang felt a complex and unbearable mood

For some inexplicable reason, Yan Dai felt a bit afraid of Nan Chu, and also a bit jealous of her. That complex emotion was so unclear that even she herself could not articulate it.

Yan Dai stamped her foot and pouted: "Zong Ge! But my face..."

Shen Guangzong sometimes felt pity for Nan Chu, who started working at such a young age and bore so much, yet rarely heard her complain about anything. The tasks assigned to her, she would complete diligently, neither seeking credit nor avoiding praise

The haters then shifted their attacks to the Weibo of the agent Shen Guangzong.

Nan Chu lowered his head to look at the script and said softly, "It's quite good, eat well and sleep well"

However, Shen Guangzong missed the second half of the sentence

Nan Chu suddenly smiled at him, beckoning with her slender, jade-like fingers

Nan Chu placed the book upright on her lap, showing her the cover

A unread WeChat message lies on the screen

Yet every time I see Nan Chu walking past me with an air of indifference and nonchalance, I feel both angry and anxious. As a woman, how can she be so unconcerned about her reputation

Nan Chu ignored him, slammed the script onto the table, circled a section with a pen, and said in a nonchalant tone, "After you leave this part, I will come back to pull you in; the emotions can be a bit more expressive."

Uncertain of the source of the recoil, it closed with a "bang".

In the mirror of the snowy chest, before the jade tree and phoenix tower

Ran Dongyang leaned back in the chair and asked, "How have you been lately?"

I just saw him go to the convenience store

Returning to the hotel, Nan Chu emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel, and the phone on the bed vibrated.

The entertainment gossip magazine of that year thoroughly examined all the male celebrities suspected of being the father of Nan Chusheng, and as a result, within a few years, they either came out or got married and had children

Indeed, when she caught up to the outside of the studio, she saw a familiar upright figure. In her memory, that person's peach blossom eyes, with their upturned corners, seemed to be smiling. The deep-set brows and eyes, when serious, were intimidating, yet the strong contours were rarely softened under the sunlight

She glanced over, pulled off the bath towel, and the young girl's fair body was completely exposed, with the large floor mirror reflecting her exquisite figure

After all, she is an actress bold enough to openly discuss erotic literature with the director; what other shameless things could she possibly do

Nan Chu raised her head and cast a cold glance at him

Shen Guangzong loosened the collar of Xi Gu and made a silent gesture of cutting his throat

Yu Guang caught sight of a sneaky figure hiding under the old locust tree a few meters away

On the fourth day, Ran Dongyang, the second male lead who won the Best Supporting Actor award last year and is also rumored to be Yan Dai's boyfriend, joined the cast, and the actors were finally all present

Upon hearing this, Shen Guangzong was infuriated, his hair standing on end, nearly choking Xi Gu to death. Nan Chu calmly pulled the little girl over and continued flipping through her book, saying, "If you really killed him, you can carry the luggage yourself"

The sunlight enveloped her slender body

Nan Chu leaned against the door and cast a faint glance at Yan Dai

Ran Dongyang grimaced in pain, while Nan Chu had already gathered her belongings and stood up, holding the script close to her chest. Dressed in a flowing black gown that accentuated her graceful figure, she looked down at him with an air of indifference, resembling a noble black swan.

The lines on the body are smooth and neat, neither more nor less by a single point

Nan Chu entered the company in the early years, a year later than her. Both are minor artists, but Nan Chu has a mother who is an award-winning actress. Although there are rumors in the industry about their poor mother-daughter relationship, it is still better than those of us who have none.

In the eyes of the public, the mature and composed director must have been blinded by the little enchantress Nan Chu, which led him to utter those words in a fit of anger

Back in the group, Nan Chu helped Yan Dai request leave, postponing all her scenes to three days later. The director grumbled somewhat dissatisfied, "She has the most issues."

At the age of six, Nan Chu followed her mother, Nan Yue Ru, to shoot advertisements and participate in photo shoots, marking her debut as a child star. When she was around sixteen or seventeen, she took on several film roles, gaining some recognition. The actresses in the group would occasionally discuss gossip about Nan Chu, and Yan Dai, who had long harbored jealousy towards her, could not help but let slip a few words in a moment of impulsiveness.

"There is no hope." Shen Guangzong shook his head and left

Ran Dongyang rested his head on his hand, reclining in the chair: "You, my friend, have such a bad temper that you are hardly likable at all"

... ...

The man habitually furrows his brow, his eyebrows twisted into a shape resembling the character for 'river', expressing impatience and restraint

Ran Dongyang leaned forward, reaching out to grab Nan Chu's head, but she dodged it without a sound. His hand froze in mid-air, and he awkwardly smiled: "What’s wrong with you? You seem like a different person."

Nan Chu put down the book and looked up: "Military uniform?"

Shen Guangzong sighed, sat down beside her, and looked down at the scriptures beside her, "Alas, did the Buddha tell you when you will become famous?"

Indeed, just like her mother

There will be my violin concert on Saturday, you must come

She bent down, the advantages of men always manifesting in the darkness, yet the night enveloped this woman before him in an even more terrifying manner

Your entire family has perished

Indeed, Nan Chu acted in a play at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and her acting skills became a target for criticism for several years. Coupled with the previous management team's lack of public relations ability and their penchant for stirring up scandals, Nan Chu has had a difficult journey to this point. After posting a Weibo update, she couldn't find a single comment worth reading, prompting Shen Guangzong to simply disable the comments on her Weibo.

... ...

Yet, as if compelled by some unseen force, I still moved closer

On a dark summer night, the photography studio gradually wraps up its work, and the pale moonlight casts down, illuminating Nan Chu's fair skin, making her entire figure seem to glow

Xi Gu looked at her, her expression serene and composed, as if there were a barrier around her that isolated the world outside. It was no wonder that the banned book revealed to her the essence of Xu Zhimo.

Xi Gu looked to the south and found her once again engrossed in flipping through a book

Xi Gu nodded and said, "Hmm, but handsome, I asked him to wait for a while, but he refused to wait and just turned around and left"

"Hey, you can tolerate other things quite well, but why can't you endure this?" Shen Guangzong, with his arms crossed, glared angrily and pointed at her sharply, "I kept this matter from you for now, so don't cause me any more trouble. If you know you're attracting negative attention, then don't stir up trouble."

While speaking halfway, she caught a glimpse of Nan Chu entering. The latter casually leaned against the door frame, watching her. She choked slightly, took a breath, and abruptly swallowed the second half of her sentence.

Nan Chu gently patted her head and warned, "Shen Jingbing—"

Shen Guangzong knew, infuriated with his nostrils flaring, "If you truly cannot stand him, can you not just endure it?"

In a little while, another message came, "You must come, I will have someone bring the ticket to you tomorrow"

In a couple of days, this conversation reached Yan Dai's ears again, and as more mouths got involved, the story changed, somehow transforming into -

Nan Chu openly admitted: "Hmm"

Possessing her own unique pride, she does not bow her head, nor does she yield to the mundane world. The director remarked that she resembles a black swan, both noble and independent

He was holding the empty water bottle in his hand, twisted the cap on, and casually tossed it through the open window of the back seat just as he opened the driver's door

For instance, at this moment, those brows and eyes are particularly striking

Upon raising my head again, a lump appeared on my temple, resembling a cow's horn

Nan Chu glanced at him, nodded, and said, "Hmm, thank you"

The director added a line, still featuring the black swan riding on Thomas the Tank Engine

Nan Chu, get out of the entertainment industry

Yan Dai suffered from an allergic reaction, making her unable to film, which delayed the progress. In a fit of anger, the director deleted Yan Dai's scenes, added more scenes for Nan Chu, and insulted Yan Dai, calling her a troublemaker

The two individuals collaborated on a film several years ago

You protect her, and in a few days, you will be accused of being homosexual for protecting her!

Nan Chu returned to the office after finishing his cigarette, and it was confirmed that it was a cosmetic allergy. Yan Dai was pointing her finger at Xi Gu, shouting in a sharp voice: "You have to compensate! I haven't been able to work these past few days. What if the director asks me for lost wages?!"

Yet she is not humble

"Nan Chu, you filthy whore, a thing that has been ruined by others"

Are you still there

As described in the words

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, there was a loud bang, and someone held the back of my head, forcefully smashing my forehead against the corner of the table

The young woman has fair skin, slender arms, and a pair of well-proportioned, straight legs. Her bones are delicate, and her skin is as smooth as ice, so fine that one could grasp it with a single hand

Although the people from the West are small in stature, they possess immense strength, with one person able to carry several suitcases without even catching their breath

The next day, after finishing the morning shoot, Nan Chuo sat in the tent holding a small electric fan, with a Buddhist scripture spread out in his hands

Nanchu did not raise his head, "All forms are but illusions."

Ran Dongyang smiled, sat up straight, and rested his hands on the table, "Don't look at me like that, back in the day..."

"What nonsense." Shen Guangzong rolled his eyes and said, "Your reputation is already in tatters, and you still have the mood to look at these things. You might as well become a monk."

Ran Dongyang dragged a chair closer to her and said, "Although you didn't talk much back then, at least you were gentle. What happened? After a few years apart, has the little rose grown thorns?"

Nan Chutou did not raise his head, coldly smiling as he curled the corners of his lips

Hmm

Shen Guangzong was driven away.

The sun was scorching, and the direct sunlight was intense. Xi Gu took a tissue, wiped his sweat, and said: "He is a handsome guy, dressed in military uniform, extremely good-looking, but it's just too cold"

However, when she truly becomes angry, her entire demeanor becomes strikingly sharp

Yan Dai became timid, turning her face away and pouting as she reluctantly said, "You all go talk to the director, I won't go."

... ...

She couldn't help but lean closer, "What are you looking at?"

Nan Chu is slender, with a small frame, elongated eyes, gentle light eyebrows, and shallow thin lips. She rarely gets angry, and almost nothing can affect her emotions

Operate!

To this day, this matter can be considered one of the top ten unsolved mysteries in the entertainment industry

Gold, gold, gold... bottle of plum.

Changing into a dark long skirt, Nan Chu picked up her phone and slid open the screen, and WeChat popped up.

As a result, Nan Chu became the target of everyone's criticism, labeled as a scheming woman

both flirtatious and uninhibited

Xi Gu hurriedly covered his eyes

From a person named Lin Qi

Although Shen Guangzong did not like Yan Dai, he still maintained a calm demeanor and smiled as he tried to smooth things over: "Xiao Dai, we are all from the same company. Making such a scene is just giving people something to laugh about, isn't it?"

Nan Chuwan smiled: "Alright"

In the evening, Xi Gu entered holding an envelope, "Nan Chu, someone just delivered this to you."

Lin Qi is a talented violinist, aged nineteen, whom Nan Chu met during a fashion show in Milan

He finished speaking and symbolically shook it off

If you bring up the past again, I will make you regret having known me

Nan Chu shook his head: "He flirted with me, I couldn't stand it"

Sometimes, a certain face suddenly pops into your mind, and even though you know it is impossible, you cannot help but want to verify it. The fact proves that a woman's sixth sense is often ninety-nine percent correct.

Shen Guangzong was infuriated upon seeing her like this, and he strode over, filled with indignation, to demand an explanation: "Isn't that head of Ran Dongyang your masterpiece?"

Arrived late.

After finishing the last night scene, Yan Dai walked out of the studio and saw two figures sitting side by side under the tent.

Nanyue Ru's reputation is actually not bad; it was just that at the age of 26, she took a year off from acting and gave birth to Nanchu, and to this day, the identity of Nanchu's father has not been disclosed

Nan Chu turned a page of the book, contemplated for a moment with a sidelong glance, and then said: "Good idea"

Moreover, it is said that this matter was handled by Nan Chu's assistant
