Chapter 7
Regarding Yu Gaoxing's ideal type, it has actually been completed long ago. The reason I am saying so much now is that I would like to talk about Zhou Jiashu next
Are you available to come on the weekend
When I first debuted, I also enjoyed reading film reviews, wanting to know how others perceived me. It may be related to my appearance, or perhaps audiences are generally more forgiving towards newcomers. They commonly acknowledge that I possess a natural talent for acting, rather than being someone who works hard behind the scenes. This title sounds impressive, so I never explain or mention how many times I have cried. As a result, my pressure has increased. Good scripts come to me, yet I find myself indecisive and hesitant to accept them, repeatedly contemplating whether I can achieve a breakthrough and whether I might be too similar to my previous roles.

He asked me, "What time do you usually go to the supermarket?"
Is that so? He took out a small bottle of soy sauce from the shopping cart and said, "Here you go."
Living with Teacher Meng for three years, I found it quite effortless to maintain my figure
After several days of shuttling between different cities, it feels as though there is a spring inside my body, wound up as tightly as possible at this moment, and it needs to be released, allowing it to gradually return to its original state
As we were leaving the supermarket, he took a box of apples from the shopping bag and handed it to me, saying, "The apples today are very beautiful; take them home with you"
I cannot help but ponder that a person's family is the most difficult to describe in a single sentence, how can it be summarized with just the word 'ordinary'? I never easily discuss my family with others; my family is like a fine wine that I keep bottled away, the taste of which outsiders cannot comprehend. If I were to uncork it and let others take a whiff, they might start to criticize me, saying, 'Be content, such fragrant wine and you do not drink it? Others cannot even have a taste.'
The day after having hot pot, I slept until I woke up naturally, then lingered in bed for most of the day before finally changing into comfortable clothes and heading out to the supermarket
I was momentarily stunned, for that hand was truly beautiful, slender to the point of revealing the bones, yet not excessive. Under the supermarket's lighting, it did not appear pale; the veins on the back of the hand were arranged cleanly and clearly.
I have just realized that in the section regarding his celebrity relationships, there are: biological father, stepfather, and mother
Upon reaching the cash register, he put on his mask again, almost prompting him to naturally pay for my bill
In the shopping center connected to the subway station, there is a boutique supermarket. When I walked in, it was already past five in the evening
We sent the director's sister to the entrance of her residential community. After I smiled and bid her farewell, the muscles in my face could no longer maintain the smile. I leaned back against the chair, not wanting to utter a single word.
I did not mean for him to give up the soy sauce for me; before I could decline, he asked, "Do you like this soy sauce?"
I once naively asked Teacher Meng to replicate the method, and each time he would say, "It's a small case," and then disregard the carefully researched experiences of food bloggers, improvising instead.
While we chatted, we strolled through the supermarket. I learned that he is nearsighted with over 300 degrees, and that he wears glasses not to show off. He found out that my home is only two subway stations away from this supermarket, while his home is in the opposite direction, also very close to the supermarket, not exceeding 2,000 meters
I am somewhat surprised, "Do you have weekends?" I thought that we, as artists, do not live by the regular working hours and only remember the dates of the month, not the days of the week
During filming, there are times like this when I feel very foolish and have no other choice but to endure. You cannot express fatigue, as negative emotions can be contagious to others, so I can only return to the hotel room and vent my grievances to the air alone: why am I in this profession, why must I endure this suffering
I laughed, "I will, I still need to earn money to support you all"
He wanted to put all these items into my shopping cart, but found only a solitary bar of Hershey's dark chocolate lying inside. He raised his eyebrows slightly, took out the chocolate, and returned it along with the soy sauce and crab meat noodles to his own shopping cart, saying to me, "Let me push it for you first"
I am from Xuzhou, and I moved to Hong Kong after graduating from high school
On the day when Sisi and the others were invited to my home for hot pot, Yu Gaoxing wandered around my house and said, "You don't even have any condiments in your kitchen! Now that you are living alone, you need to hold yourself accountable, show some attitude, and let others believe that you can live well on your own"
I took off my down jacket and covered myself with it, found a comfortable position, and just closed my eyes when I heard Tongtong tell the driver, "Turn on the radio, any channel will do."
When I was about to take it from the shelf, a hand reached over and took the bottle of soy sauce away from in front of me
Forcing myself to take a bath and care for my skin, I emerged from the bathroom just past 2 AM. I lay in bed, set an alarm, and my sleepiness faded instead. I opened Safari, still on the Wikipedia page for Zhou Jiashu.
In addition to being beautiful and kind-hearted, Zhou Jiashu certainly treats me as a colleague. It is not surprising for two artists to be in the same city, and encountering each other in the same supermarket is indeed quite a coincidence. If I were to meet another artist, I should directly go buy a lottery ticket.
His mother was once a film and television actress, and his biological father is the renowned film director Zhou Jihui. When he was four years old, his parents divorced, and his mother remarried the chairman of a domestic film and television production company. The two later had another son, and his mother began to focus entirely on managing the family, gradually withdrawing from the film and television industry
Teacher Meng has performed in so many film and television works, and there is a room in the house specifically for storing scripts. Dancing with a big knife in front of Guan Gong can also be considered a form of training for me
We had not taken two steps when we spoke simultaneously. I asked, "Do you live in Shanghai?" He asked, "Where are you from?"
My mind inexplicably recalls the conversation that Director Sister and Tong Tong had just now, which stemmed from Zhou Jialin.
He pulled down his mask and said, "Xiao Ke?"
I even asked Sister Fangfang whether I should invest some effort in matters outside of acting, to shape my public persona and take on more endorsements. She replied that the time has not yet come, and perhaps in the future you will follow such a path, but for now, the time is not right
The train departed from the subway platform, and I sat in the carriage, lifting the shopping bag from the supermarket, examining the box of four imported red apples placed on top.
He smiled and said, "Yes, I am still in school"
I have not yet mentioned it; I merely saw it online. He has already taken out a gift box labeled 'Crab Roe Noodles' and said, 'Why not give this noodle a try? They are from the same brand'
However, as I walked beside him, I always caught a whiff of the scent on his clothes whenever he took something from in front of me, a fragrance reminiscent of tea leaves and sandalwood, quite refreshing. I said in a daze, "In the evening... around 7 or 8 o'clock, I took the subway to avoid the rush hour."
Teacher Meng belongs to a category of people who are terrifying in their culinary skills, yet harbor a deep passion for cooking. He does not adhere strictly to conventional recipes, always bringing his own insights, but he insists on using olive oil. He excels at simmering various exquisite soups, which are very authentic and evoke a peculiar sense of guilt, a confession regarding old ducks and hens.
He wore silver-rimmed glasses, a dark gray mask, and his hair was not styled as it had been on the evening of the banquet, but instead fell softly. If it weren't for those striking eyes, I might have almost failed to recognize him
I ... ... '' Although I have a holiday next week, I don't really feel like going out. After hesitating for a moment, I couldn't refuse and said, `` Yes. ''
Because I cannot obtain it, I have become enamored with videos of food preparation and tasting, as a form of solace. I may not recognize all the celebrities and artists, but I can recount the food bloggers in detail.
I feel that he is also someone whose place of origin cannot be discerned just by listening to him speak. His Mandarin is very standard, yet it does not come out word by word; instead, it has a coherent and relaxed quality. His voice is also low, making it very pleasant to listen to.
No wonder, you speak without an accent
I could only push my shopping cart to the corner and let it wait for the supermarket staff to collect it
Somehow, ever since I moved to Shanghai, I have been unable to enjoy Teacher Meng's dishes or the soups he makes. I feel a sense of bewilderment akin to that of finishing a film, along with a lingering fear of home-cooked meals
I would like to respond to him; I generally do not go to the supermarket
I regained my senses and followed him with my gaze, only to see his back clad in a black cotton jacket, from beneath which a section of a checkered shirt was visible.
"Xiao Ke? This is the second time he has used that title to leave me stunned. I responded somewhat randomly, 'Hmm, what are you buying?'"
Over the years, the primary reason why Teacher Meng's culinary skills have not improved is the lack of objective evaluation from anyone, including myself
She understands me well, and at this moment I want a bit of sound to make it easier to fall asleep
I looked at him seriously and said, "Should I speak first, or will you?"
Will you come to the supermarket next Sunday at 7:30 PM
By the way, he is still a university student. Although I also just submitted my thesis a few days ago, I can take leave whenever possible, and my time on campus is quite limited.
In the deep night of Beijing, it remains very quiet. The cars on the road seldom honk their horns, and their engines sound like the weak breaths of a puppy just born, as they tacitly refrain from disturbing this city. The dim streetlights pass by the car window, and I seem to have fallen asleep, yet I can hear the songs from the radio swaying within the car, "In this lifetime, when paths cross in a narrow way, one cannot escape, suddenly, curves of entanglement grow in the palm of the hand..."
Describing fruit as beautiful seems somewhat childish, yet it is not entirely so when it comes from his mouth. From the very beginning, he offered me the soy sauce and recommended delicious noodles. All along, I have been the one being taken care of, but clearly, I am the older sister, so how can I accept his gifts? I feel unworthy of receiving them.
This figure seems somewhat familiar, I thought to myself as I quietly pushed the shopping cart to follow. Soon, I was noticed by him.
I just wanted to take that bottle of soy sauce, and it happened to be taken by you. It feels quite coincidental, so I thought I would come up and greet you.
I discovered a bottle of shrimp roe soy sauce that I had seen in a food video. Those who have tasted it all say it is good, and it can also be used to mix with rice
It is widely said online that his relationship with his biological father, Zhou Jihui, is average. In this era where relying on one's father is almost the norm, he has never appeared in any films directed by his biological father
The director's sister said that in the entertainment industry, the greatest fear is when the crowd pushes the wall down. Those with a bad temper cannot achieve great things. Truly successful and famous individuals often possess innate social skills, and they frequently emphasize the importance of doing good and accumulating virtue. Zhou Jiashu, who became famous at a young age, is a testament to this.
Zhou Jiashu said calmly, "Oh, I haven't been home for a long time, I need to buy some things to fill the refrigerator"
He was influenced by his family environment from a young age, which shaped his more mature character compared to his peers. He understands the importance of being low-key and does not worry about film offers; he is not lacking in popularity and remains composed. At the very least, the side he presents to others is flawless.
I understand Tongtong and the others very well; they do not want me to see their negative feelings, and I feel the same way. When it comes to the table full of dishes prepared by Teacher Meng, I take a sip of the soup and ponder, saying it is good. Then I pick a plate of vegetables, and my eyes light up as I exclaim that it is delicious
Back at the hotel where we were staying, in front of the room door, Tongtong patted my head and said, "You can hold on."
Originally, my kitchen was merely a decorative feature provided by the property, with only mineral water and gifts from others in the refrigerator. After Yu Gaoxing mentioned this, I suddenly felt the urge to change my lifestyle
He laughed out loud and then replied, "I live in Shanghai, my home is in Shanghai"
Every time I am on the verge of packing my bags and running away, I open my phone's photo album to take a look at the saved contract photos, calculating how much compensation I would owe for breaching the contract if I were to leave now. In the end, I still find myself tearfully reciting lines and practicing my emotions.
