The sick beauty became popular after she brought her ex to the show

The scenery outside the car window was speeding by, and many street scenes that Su Ye was familiar and unfamiliar with passed by his eyes.

It has been nearly a month since he returned to China, but he has hardly been out of the house. He took a bus in South City a few times and has not carefully observed the current appearance of the city.

For the first time, Su Ye tried to calm himself down and look at the scenery outside.
Five years is not a long time for a city. Some streets are still familiar to him, while others are a little strange.

Shen Meng, who was standing next to him, took a quick glance and saw Su Ye in the back seat with one hand on the car window, his eyes curiously looking outside, his forehead getting closer and closer to the car window.

Finally, Su Ye put both hands on it, his forehead pressed against the cold car window, his bangs were squeezed and bulged, a light white mist came out of his slightly opened mouth, the car window was covered with water vapor, which Su Ye wiped away patiently, over and over again.
Serious and cute.

"Pfft." Shen Meng couldn't help it and smiled with his head down.

I always feel that Brother Su Ye is sometimes gentle and reliable, and sometimes like a child.

Su Lan in the front row heard Shen Meng's laughter, looked up at the rearview mirror, and saw Su Ye's current appearance.

When she picked up Su Ye at the Nanshi Airport and drove away from the pick-up gate, Su Ye also leaned on the car window, looking at the green belt surrounded by security personnel and medical staff, and only sat back when he was completely out of sight.

"Xiao Ye, don't catch a cold." Su Lan reminded helplessly.

"Hmm?" Su Ye came back to his senses and moved his forehead away from the car window. The strands of hair on his forehead were slightly wet by the white frost.

He finally reacted, and shyly grabbed a piece of tissue, lowered his head and wiped away the moisture in his palms.

"Oh." Lidya Su sighed with a smile.

Su Ye sat back in the back seat, holding her bag in both hands. Her heart, which had just calmed down due to the cold temperature on her forehead, started beating again.
We'll soon be arriving at director Ji Ru's crew.

Su Ye's legs were originally crossed comfortably, but suddenly he lowered them and put them together as if he was uncomfortable, sitting upright as if he was going to some formal meeting.

"Aaaaahhh, I'm so nervous."

Hearing Shen Meng's words, Su Ye's eyelashes moved.

"I didn't expect that I could really join the crew of Director Ji Ru! Brother Su Ye, thank you!" Shen Meng held her cheeks with both hands, looking extremely happy.

Su Ye nodded subconsciously, then shook his head quickly.
"Well, I am mainly grateful to Director Ji Ru for giving me this opportunity."

Lidya Su laughed again, "What are you doing? Are you practicing for media interviews in advance?"

A hint of embarrassment appeared in Su Ye's eyes, and he scratched the strap of his shoulder bag with his fingers.
He quickly changed the subject, "Why is Sister Lan here too? Xiao Meng and I can go."

Although Su Lan can also do the work of an agent, she is also the boss of Yaotian after all. The fact that she drove all the way to see Su Ye off made Su Ye feel that it was a bit too grand.

Su Lan saw through Su Ye's thoughts at a glance, "Don't think too much, this is Director Ji Ru after all. Normally, the artists under the company are not as famous as her. If I have this opportunity, I will definitely come over to say hello and expand my network."

"Oh." Su Ye nodded as if he understood, and said nothing more.

Shen Meng is a person who can't hold back his words, and after a while he started to babble again.
"Director Ji Ru's crew must have a lot of big names, I hope we can have a chance to be in the same frame!"

Su Lan was helpless, "Of course there is. Xi Yu, who plays the male lead, and Xiao Ye have such a good relationship. Are you afraid that you won't be able to take a photo with them?"

Shen Meng turned to Su Ye with starry eyes, "Brother, can I stand behind you two when the time comes?"

"Hmm? Yeah." Su Ye was distracted again and didn't hear what Shen Meng said. He only heard Su Lan's words "the relationship is so good".

He was quiet for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and smelled his wrist.
I couldn't smell anything, just the scent of his usual perfume, a light aroma.

"Brother Su Ye? What's wrong?" Shen Meng asked from the side.

Su Ye rubbed his fingertips, recalling the feeling of the cigarette between his fingers.

He started to get a little nervous again, and whispered to Shen Meng: "Xiao Meng, I don't have any--"

Su Ye glanced at Su Lan secretly and pursed his lips, "It doesn't taste like blueberry, right?"

Shen Meng was very smart. He suddenly realized what Su Ye was talking about and immediately made an "OK" gesture. "No, don't worry, brother!"

Su Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
Xi Yu didn't like him smoking too much.

This morning he suddenly had an uncontrollable urge to smoke. In order to prevent Su Lan from finding out, Su Ye stripped himself completely before changing clothes, and stood naked in the bathroom with the ventilator on while smoking several cigarettes.

"That's good." Su Ye said in a low voice, feeling a little guilty.

"Blueberry flavor?" Su Lan's eyes looked over in the rearview mirror, and Su Ye straightened his back involuntarily.

But Lidya Su didn't notice anything and just made a joke.
"Blueberry candy? You are so greedy for sweets even though you are an adult. You should eat less."

Su Ye nodded obediently.

The hotel that Ji Ru's crew booked was in the suburbs, at the Hengdian Hotel, which had great privacy. Su Ye took a short nap in a daze, and when he woke up, Su Lan was just parking the car.

"You guys go in first. I'll park the car and say hello to Director Ji before I come back."
Su Lan waved her hand to let Su Ye and Shen Meng get out of the car, and drove into the parking garage herself.

Probably because of Ji Ru's crew, the parking lot was particularly crowded. There were the fewest private cars, and all kinds of commercial vehicles lined up in a row.

Lidya Su finally found a gap next to a black SUV. After parking the car, she breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door with one hand.

Swish.
Lidya Su looked up and almost jumped in surprise.

The SUV next to it, which had been quiet all the time, suddenly opened its door and a man got out. He was tall and had long legs, and his air pressure was much lower than that of an average person.

Xi Yu lowered his mask and met Su Lan's frightened gaze, "Aunt Su, long time no see."

Su Ye and Shen Meng entered the hotel together under the guidance of the on-site staff.

"Teacher Su, today's work mainly involves Director Ji meeting with our actors to confirm the schedule, as well as makeup tests and photo shoots. Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Su."

One of the floors of the hotel was booked by Ji Ru's studio in a generous manner. When Su Ye and Shen Meng arrived at the specially designated meeting room, Ji Ru was talking to several people who looked like investors with a serious expression.

Su Ye waited outside for a while, and only went in after several investors left.

Song Bian happened to be standing at the door. When he saw Su Ye, his eyes lit up. "Oh, Xiao Su is here."

Ji Ru turned around and saw that it was Su Ye. Her expression suddenly became much happier. "Finally you're here. Come and sit down."

Su Ye sat down aside.
He didn’t think anything of it before, but after seeing Ji Ru again, Su Ye remembered that he had actually considered rejecting Ji Ru’s invitation, and he couldn’t help feeling a little nervous.

After all, this was Director Ji Ru. If she had known that she was almost rejected by someone of his stature, she would have been very upset.

"I heard from Su Lan that you were actually quite hesitant before, right?" Ji Ru smiled.

Su Ye was a little restrained, "Ah, no, I'm worried--"

"You're worried that you're not good enough, right?"

Su Ye was stunned and looked up to meet Ji Ru's understanding gaze.
Editor Song and Director Xu on the side just smiled and said nothing.

After a while, Su Ye nodded gently, "Yes."

"Your worries are not surprising." Ji Ru laughed, "In terms of qualifications and professionalism, there are indeed better actors with professional training than you."

Su Ye listened quietly.
If so, why?

"But the compatibility between a role and an actor is a very mysterious thing. Some can be made up for with acting skills, but some cannot be replaced."

Ji Ru thought for a moment, "It's just like when you fall in love with someone, but you can't really explain why. Do you understand what I mean?"

Su Ye secretly agreed in his heart.

"I see this quality in you, a quality that goes perfectly with this character."

After the audition that day, Ji Ru wondered why so many kids with good acting skills couldn't act out this feeling, but Su Ye, who had no experience, struck everyone's heart at once.

She pondered over it for a long time before finally figuring it out.
In fact, it is very simple. Acting skills can be accumulated through experience and contact, but emotions can only be precipitated through experience.

The other children had too little experience, so even if they used their acting skills to emphasize the characters’ emotions, what they showed was only a workmanlike quality that could not convince the audience, let alone move their hearts.
But Su Ye has this ability.

Ji Ru guessed that this gentle and handsome young man must have had many unknown pasts.

"I didn't choose you because I thought you could become Song Chengzhi."

Ji Ru was very anxious when she heard that Su Ye was hesitating.
Although she has reached this level of fame, she still has the most essential obsession with her work.

The character of Song Chengzhi was a little confusing even for the creator herself, but the moment she saw Su Ye's performance, the image of the character suddenly became clear in her mind, and Ji Ru grasped this feeling in time.

This role must be played by Su Ye, no one else can.
At that time, Ji Ru was even prepared to try every possible means to persuade Su Ye. If resources were not available, she could talk about the remuneration. In short, she had to get Su Ye to her.

"I think Song Chengzhi can be you."

Su Ye's eyes widened slightly.
This may be the most sincere recognition a creator can give to an artist.

"And." Ji Ru said, "I really haven't found any other artist who is as perfect as Xiaoyu."

Su Ye's eyes flickered for a moment, "Hmm."

"So I hope you can join me in this creative process. From today on, we are comrades on the same front and partners in completing this work together."

Su Ye took a deep breath and said, "I understand. Thank you, Director Ji Ru."

Ji Ru felt relieved and said with a smile: "But don't be too relaxed, my requirements are very high."
Editor Song and Assistant Director Li looked at each other and laughed.

After roughly explaining some of the schedule arrangements, Su Ye was taken to the dressing room to try on her makeup.

"Teacher Su, please come this way." The stylist sister at the door waved her hand, and Su Ye said hello and went in.

The dressing room is large, with three seats and a partition curtain in the middle.
Su Ye was led to sit in the middle.

"I've wanted to meet Teacher Su for a long time. You're worthy of being the actor chosen by Director Ji. Your appearance is so outstanding." The stylist said sweetly and began to put makeup on Su Ye with a smile.

The stylist was chatting with Su Ye, and Su Ye learned that Ji Ru had very special requirements for his makeup. She wanted light makeup to preserve Su Ye's unique gentleness, but to create the feeling of a dagger hidden in cotton.

"Director Ji's requirements are really high. Fortunately, Teacher Su, you have good conditions to begin with. You are a great help!"

The red mole was retained, and the stylist lengthened the tail of Su Ye's eyebrows slightly, emphasizing Su Ye's slender atmosphere, but also deepened Su Ye's eye sockets, so that she does not appear feminine, but has a kind of thrilling beauty.

After finishing her makeup, Su Ye's originally gentle eyes became somewhat sinister, and when she raised her eyes slightly, it felt as if she was glaring at people coldly.

For the lip makeup, the stylist chose a slightly darker red and only applied a little bit on Su Ye's lips, creating a natural but more beautiful pseudo-original lip color.

".So impressive." Su Ye looked in the mirror and was shocked by his own casual and nonchalant look.

Shen Meng came over at the door to deliver some information. When he met Su Ye's gaze, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He stood at attention, put the information on the table honestly, turned around and walked away quietly.

"The main reason is that Teacher Su's looks are very suitable for this style. To be honest, if Teacher Su wants to change his style in the future, he can consider this."
The stylist was also very satisfied and couldn't help but ask Su Ye for his opinion and took a few photos together.

The hairstyle should be longer, and the long black hair is not let down completely like on the audition day, but half of it is tied up and tied into a crown, leaving a beautiful hair arc on the side of the face, which looks casual and beautiful, and fits Song Chengzhi's casual and lazy daily setting.

The clothing also changed. On the day of the audition, Su Ye wore a crimson outer robe, but this time it became dark black, and the lining inside was a very eye-catching scarlet red, but only the overlapping collar and cuffs could see a hint of red.

"Well, that's OK. Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Su. Please rest here for a while before filming."

The door of the dressing room was gently closed. Su Ye sat in his seat, listening to the hurried footsteps coming and going in the corridor outside.

Su Ye's nervousness and helplessness came up again.
But it’s not because it’s my first time joining the group.

Today's task sounds simple, but on the first day, we have to debug a lot of equipment in advance, and we also have to take test photos, so the crew outside are probably very busy.

"——Teacher, this way please!"

Su Ye heard someone shouting outside, but he didn't know if it was an actor or a main creator.

He couldn't help but tug at the corner of his sleeve, tapping his toes to the beat of an unknown song.

Su Ye pricked up his ears and heard the sound of a door opening. He heard the door opening from the dressing room opposite. Su Ye breathed a sigh of relief, but the tension in his heart increased instead of decreasing.
Fidgeting.

Another voice of "Teacher" was heard outside, and Su Ye's waist, which had just slumped, tensed again, over and over again.

He looked up at himself in the mirror, frowning slightly.
That's really outrageous.

You're not a new artist, why are you so nervous?

Su Ye tried to criticize herself seriously in her heart, then stood up holding her wide sleeves, not planning to continue sitting in front of the makeup mirror.

Before leaving, the stylist specifically mentioned that there was a rest area in the dressing room so that Su Ye could rest on the sofa if he was tired.

Su Ye freed one hand to pull the partition curtain.
The thickness in his hand seemed a little off, but his other hand could no longer hold the clothes. Su Ye didn't think too much about it and pulled it along the slide rail.

Swish.

Su Ye grabbed the innermost partition curtain and pulled it open.

The hem of the tight-fitting suit with dark black patterns caught Su Ye's eyes. It was clean and neat, completely different from the complicated palace suit Su Ye was wearing.

The person sitting on the round chair raised his eyes when he heard the voice, and looked at Su Ye with a pair of familiar peach blossom eyes.

Su Ye's breathing stagnated as he stood beside the open partition curtain.

Those peach blossom eyes moved again, and their gaze scanned Su Ye carefully.

Su Ye's look today is in stark contrast to his actual appearance.

Xi Yu watched silently, his sight moving from the conspicuous mole at the end of the eyebrow to the soft, half-tied up long hair on the side of Su Ye's face, and then to the collar that wrapped tightly around her snow-white neck but revealed a hint of crimson.

Only the look in those amber eyes still felt familiar, slightly open, with fear and disbelief.
"Xi——"

Su Ye couldn't help but tighten his grip on the partition curtain, and his gaze met Xi Yu's eyes with no retreat. The next second he hurriedly moved away and took a half step back.
The clothes in his hands finally fell down, and he clumsily stepped on the corner of the clothes, causing his whole body to shake violently.

Su Ye seemed to hear a soft sigh.

"Be careful."

A hand tightly wrapped around his waist, but Su Ye subconsciously dodged.
The hand did not loosen, but held Su Ye's waist more firmly.

However, Su Ye’s stumbling state was unavoidable and he fell forward. Fortunately, he was supported and did not fall to the ground.

Su Ye held Xi Yu's other arm, his mind was a mess, and he looked up in dismay.
".Xi Yu?"

Xi Yu kept looking at Su Ye.

Su Ye's back was slightly bent, and the collar at the back of his neck was loosened a little, revealing the crimson inner garment, which contrasted with his snow-white neck, creating a very strong visual effect.

The beautiful face that was raised was full of confusion and helplessness, and the corners of the eyes were even slightly red because of embarrassment.
Su Ye's beautiful eyes were hidden behind her scattered black hair, and her gaze was evasive.

Being close, Xi Yu could smell the scent of cosmetics on Su Ye's body. Through the scent of cosmetics, the cool scent of cedar emerged from underneath.

Xi Yu moved his mouth, "Su Ye, be careful."

Su Ye paused when his name was called, and immediately let go of his hand after he stood firm, and took a few steps back.

It was too quiet between the two of them.

Until Su Ye moved first.

Xi Yu saw Su Ye lowering his head, with his beautiful and slender five fingers clenching his black cuffs.

Su Ye spoke very quietly.
"sorry."

Su Ye's voice became very soft again.

Xi Yu thought of the bonfire party on the variety show before. Su Ye took off her blue scarf and put it on him, saying softly, "Wear it."
On the night when he had a fever, Su Ye rubbed his forehead and whispered to him, "Don't hate me."

But none of them are as light as the "I'm sorry" I just said.

Su Ye's voice was a little ethereal to begin with. If there wasn't no one else in the dressing room besides the two of them, and the atmosphere wasn't so quiet, Xi Yu might not have heard these words. He could only see Su Ye's lips trembling silently.

It sounded like an apology for his earlier blunder, but it also seemed to contain more.

But now Xi Yu didn’t have so many thoughts in mind.
Su Ye was standing in front of him, alive and well, and that was enough.

Su Ye kept his head down, feeling uneasy and sad, as if he had done something wrong, waiting for Xi Yu to speak.

“It was a sunny day indeed.”
The person in front of him reached out and straightened the slightly loose collar. Su Ye heard Xi Yu say this.

Su Ye raised his eyes quietly and saw Xi Yu's expression was calm.

Su Ye's fingertips unconsciously clenched the cuffs and rubbed them twice, then let go and clenched again, until Xi Yu's fingers squeezed in and pried his hands open.

Su Ye's clenched hands suddenly relaxed when Xi Yu touched them, and Xi Yu's fingertips easily slid into Su Ye's palms.

"Stop pulling it. It'll break if you keep pulling it."

Su Ye stood there with his hands hanging down at his sides, nodding obediently, "Okay."

Xi Yu looked up at Su Ye.
Su Ye's expression was like that of a well-behaved primary school student. He listened to Xi Yu's words obediently with a look of admitting his mistake on his face.

Xi Yu found it very fresh.

He hadn't seen Su Ye like this for a long time.
It has been a long time since I observed Su Ye from the same position and face to face.

This is Su Ye five years later, but even though it is also five years later, it is different from the previous ones in the variety show.

An uncontrollable impulse arose in Xi Yu's mind.

"Waist belt."
Xi Yu took a step closer and pressed his fingers on Su Ye's waist. He felt Su Ye's narrow waist immediately stiffen under the layers of cloth.

He looked at Su Ye again, and Su Ye immediately lowered her eyes and looked away, pursing her lips in trouble.

Xi Yu's nerves, which had been silent for a long time, began to become excited.

Su Ye's palace dress was much more formal and complicated than his tight-fitting suit. A necklace hung from her waist with a jade button, which Xi Yu brushed away with his hand.
His hands silently circled Su Ye's waist again, just like they had silently circled Su Ye's neck that night.

Su Ye couldn't help but take a step back, his waist stiff as a rock, "What?"

Xi Yu looked up with a friendly smile on his face, which made Su Ye unable to say anything in rebuttal.
"The waistband is loose."

Su Ye pinched his fingertips and stepped back, "I can do it myself--"

"Stand still."

Xi Yu interrupted Su Ye and stared at Su Ye in a flat voice.
The pupils were pitch black.

Su Ye's lips moved, but no sound came out.
He stood in front of Xi Yu, pinching his palm with his fingertips.

Xi Yu's fingers rubbed Su Ye's lower back, reached into the inside of the waist belt, and touched the hidden buckle and laces for adjusting the tightness.
He didn't lie to Su Ye. Su Ye's waist belt was indeed a little loose.

The two people were almost sticking together, as if they were in an intimate hug.

Xi Yu slowly hooked the laces and pulled them out.

The satin material was soft and silky, Su Ye's back was straight and tight, and the hand that was supporting his lower back inadvertently pressed the dimple on his waist.

Su Ye raised his eyes in defiance, frowned, shifted his gaze slightly, and called out softly, "Xi Yu!"

"Hmm?" Xi Yu tightened the tie.

Su Ye felt her waist being slowly tightened with Xi Yu's movements, and was wrapped by Xi Yu's hands, fitting tightly under the waistband without any gap.

Xi Yu's breath brushed past Su Ye's ears.
Su Ye's stomach twisted into a ball again.

Su Ye couldn't help but raise his hand to hold Xi Yu's shoulder, and used his wrist to push Xi Yu.

"Su Ye."
Xi Yu suddenly called him.

Su Ye tilted his head slightly, pursed his lips and refused to speak, his breathing disordered.

"Be good and stand still."

The hand on Xi Yu's shoulder loosened slightly, with the five snow-white fingers grasping the black cloth. After hearing these words, it tightened convulsively, then slowly loosened, and then rested on it as if it had released its strength, with its fingertips drooping lightly.

The mole at the end of the eyebrow occasionally appears and disappears behind the slightly swaying black hair.

With Xi Yu's help, it took a long time to sort out the waistband. Su Ye's confused mind was unable to tell the time.

"All right."

Xi Yu finally let go of his hand, pulled out a tissue and wiped his fingers.

He looked at Su Ye who had tidied up his appearance.
Amid the hustle and bustle, Su Ye retreated to the front of the dressing table, leaning his lower back against the edge, almost sitting on it.

Su Ye supported his body with one hand behind his back and placed the other on Xi Yu's shoulder. He tilted his head slightly, and his snow-white neck rose and fell fragilely, with his thin cervical vertebrae visible in his panting.

Her tall upper body was half-leaning against the table, her black hair falling down in front of her chest, and her beautiful face was slightly raised in Xi Yu's line of sight.

A faint blush appeared on that face, his brows were slightly wrinkled, his eyelashes moved slightly with his breathing, and there was a hint of annoyance in his eyes, which was extremely rare.

Su Ye rarely loses his temper. At least in Xi Yu's memory, this person seems to be a person who is born without temper. Even if he is angry, he will just frown at most.
So when they first met, Xi Yu was keen on trying ways to make Su Ye angry, and he never got tired of it.

Xi Yu bit the tip of his tongue with his canine teeth, suppressed his excitement and asked, "Are you angry?"

".No." Su Ye's eyelashes trembled, and she retracted her hand that was on Xi Yu's shoulder. She stood firm in front of the dressing table, and the tips of her ears were as red as fire.

I felt ashamed and annoyed, but mainly angry.

Su Ye took two steps aside and turned to the mirror to comb her long hair.
The person in the mirror had a light red face and messy black hair. Su Ye only took a glance and then bit the soft flesh inside his lips and looked away.

He was also angry with Xi Yu, but he was mainly angry with himself.
At first, Xi Yu was indeed just helping him to adjust his clothes. The loosened waist belt was tightened again and the collar was neatly trimmed. Only his hair was a little messy.

He failed to control himself.

Su Ye raised his eyes and saw Xi Yu in the mirror looking at him directly.

His heart skipped a beat and he felt a little annoyed. He vaguely felt that this scene was very familiar.
Where are you coming from
Su Ye's slightly congested brain thought slowly, trying his best to avoid Xi Yu's gaze.
Oh, yes, this happened when we were recording a show before and Zaizai came to the bathroom to find him.

Xi Yu saw Su Ye, who had been avoiding his gaze in the mirror, suddenly glared at him.

Although it was a glare, it would be better to say that I looked at him intently.
Those soft eyes just widened for a moment.

Xi Yu was a little puzzled. Did Su Ye know that he had no deterrent power at all? Instead, he looked a bit confused and stupid, which made people want to bully him again.

Su Ye's lips moved slightly, staring at his hands resting on the table, "Have you always been here?"
The person behind me said "hmm".

Su Ye was sulking.
How could he be so stupid? He kept listening to the noise outside the door and was so nervous, not realizing that the person was so close, just separated by a curtain.

Xi Yu saw Su Ye's eyes in the mirror open wide again in a very cute way.

The hair on Su Ye's back was still a little curled.
Like that day at the Nanshi Airport, my light hair was wrapped in a scarf, puffy and bulging.

Xi Yu seemed to be responding to the impulse he had on the day of the first snow, and reached out to calm Su Ye.
"Don't be angry."

Su Ye's back tensed up again reflexively.
But Xi Yu just pressed down his raised hair and withdrew his hand.

"Now we're even."
