Entertainment: I just want to be the boss behind the scenes

Chapter 169: Rain falls and the grass grows thick in the old hometown

"Click."

With the crisp sound of a switch, the room instantly became bright.

Meng Bai stood at the door and looked around the furnishings of the cottage, and a familiar feeling arose spontaneously.

The pillows on the small sofa, the green plants on the windowsill, the express boxes piled up in the corner... almost nothing has changed since I left.

"Come in." Song Zhi pushed him from behind, closed the apartment door, and took out a pair of slippers one size larger from the shoe cabinet beside him: "Wear these."

Meng Bai looked down at the slippers whose color and pattern looked familiar: "Is this what I left behind when I left?"

"It seems so. I just found it when I was cleaning the house a few days ago." Song Zhi said casually.

In fact, she bought the slippers a few days ago just to use them at this moment.

After changing his shoes and entering the house, Song Zhi tried to keep a calm tone: "I'll clean up first, you can sit anywhere. Anything you want to drink is in the refrigerator, you know the seats."

After saying this, she seemed to have made up her mind and walked quickly into the bedroom.

Meng Bai sat on the sofa. The familiar environment activated the memories that had been stored in the corner of his mind.

Glancing at the pillow with a white cat pattern printed on it, he took it, held it in both hands, and gently rubbed it with his fingers.

This pillow was originally a pair, and the pattern on the other one was a black cat.

At that time, Meng Bai and Song Zhi often leaned on this sofa, each holding a pillow in their arms, watching TV series and movies together.

After watching it, Meng Bai started to complain about how crappy the plot and the screenwriter were, while Song Zhi stood aside with his face raised and listened to him bragging quietly.

"hehe."

Meng Bai smiled and shook his head, thinking about how stupid he was when he was younger!
Just as I was thinking, I suddenly heard the sound of heels hitting the floor behind me. Then, I heard Song Zhi's soft voice: "Huh? What are you doing sitting there?"

Meng Bai turned around and looked at Song Zhi who had just walked out of the bedroom, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The woman's shoulder-length hair was now tied up behind her head, revealing her jade-white neck. She was wearing a plain white cheongsam that outlined her slightly raised breasts and slender waist.

The slit of the hem extends from the ankle to the upper part of the knee, revealing the slender and slightly fleshy calves. A pair of pink and white sling high heels are put on the feet, and the cute round and smooth toes are tightly curled up, revealing the owner's nervousness and panic.

Seeing Meng Bai's eyes fixed on him, Song Zhi pursed his lips and couldn't help feeling proud.

Humph, when I went for the audition for "The Disguiser", I discovered that this guy seemed to like the way he looked in cheongsam, so I specially prepared this outfit.

Now it seems that my preparations were not in vain.

Song Zhi twisted his waist and walked to Meng Bai's side. He casually smoothed the few strands of hair on his forehead and looked at him and said, "Why didn't you pour me some water?"

"Oh." Meng Bai closed his eyelids and said calmly, "I didn't find the cup."

Song Zhi believed it and walked to the cabinet in the small dining room: "The cup, I remember it was placed here...ah!"

Before she bent down to take it, she suddenly felt someone coming from behind and holding her waist.

Smelling the familiar scent, she couldn't help but look happy, but she still symbolically struggled twice: "You, what are you doing?"

It was said that he was struggling, but the strength was so small that it was almost negligible.

Meng Bai didn't say anything. He raised his hand, grabbed the woman's slender shoulders and turned her around.

At this moment, any words were superfluous. Meng Bai lowered his head and kissed her without hesitation.

"Well--"

Song Zhi snorted softly, put his arms around Meng Bai's neck, and slowly closed his eyes.

It started raining outside the window at some point, and the water drops falling from the sky hit the window with a crackling sound.

This seems to be the first rain of the year in northern Beijing, announcing the arrival of spring.

Meng Bai bent down and picked up Song Zhi horizontally.

"Wait, clothes..."

"That's it. What I want is the cheongsam."

the next day.

The sunlight shone on his face through the gap in the curtains, and Song Zhi slowly woke up.

She subconsciously glanced around and found that there was no one around. What happened last night seemed like a dream. However, the aches all over her body reminded her that it was not a dream, but reality.

The bedroom door was closed, and the faint sound of voices coming from the living room indicated the whereabouts of the person next to her.

I found my cell phone on the bedside table and checked the time. It was already past two in the afternoon.

I actually slept for most of the day!
Song Zhi lifted the quilt and sat up with gritted teeth. As soon as her feet touched the ground, before she could stand up, she felt her legs go weak and sat back down again.

"Well!"

Song Zhi groaned and couldn't help frowning.

I don’t know where that bastard got such great physical strength from. He is much stronger than before.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blushing.

In fact, I wasn't much better than him last night. It was just that I ran out of energy later on and ended up at a disadvantage.

After all, I have endured for so long since we broke up, so it is inevitable that I will become a little greedy.

After sitting by the bed for a while and feeling that he had regained some strength, Song Zhi slowly stood up.

She picked up a random piece of clothing from the closet beside her and put it on. As for the cheongsam that she had bought last night, it was now tattered and in tatters and piled in a corner under the bed.

Walking into the bathroom, Song Zhi looked at himself in the mirror. From his chest to his collarbone to his neck, all kinds of marks showed how fierce the battle was last night.

After a quick wash and tidying up, she opened the bedroom door and saw Meng Bai sitting on the sofa, talking on the phone with someone unknown.

"...No, I can't. You know that the drama 'Forensic Qin Ming' is about to start filming... I'm really busy recently, I really can't go."

Meng Bai was halfway through his speech when he suddenly heard a slight noise coming from behind him.

He turned his head and saw Song Zhi wearing a white off-shoulder shirt and standing barefoot at the bedroom door.

Meng Bai pointed at his cell phone and silently mouthed "wait a moment".

Song Zhi nodded and made a gesture that he would be quiet.

Seeing that she was waiting there obediently, Meng Bai turned his attention back to his phone, while at the same time changing his tone of voice without making any expression.

"... Don't worry, I remember. I'll definitely tell you when I get to your place... Okay, someone's looking for me here, so I'm busy now, I'll contact you later."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Bai smiled and looked at Song Zhi who was waiting beside him: "You woke up so early? I thought you needed to sleep for a while."

"I was woken up by the sunlight." Song Zhi asked curiously, "Whose phone is it?"

"Oh, it's from Director Li Xue." Meng Bai said naturally, deleting the call record with the note "Teacher Li". "He said the crew has finished filming and asked if I want to go back and take a look."

Song Zhi did not doubt him, and walked over to sit in Meng Bai's arms, and said with some surprise: "It's over so soon, I thought it would last until the middle of the moon."

"As time goes on, there are fewer actors to act opposite, and the coordination becomes more tacit, so it will naturally be faster." Meng Bai said: "Also, it has been two and a half months since the start of filming, so it is almost time to wrap up."

The filming of the drama "The Disguiser" was full of troubles. First, an actor was injured, and then a replacement was made. The filming was originally planned to be completed in 50 days, but it took more than half a month longer.

Of course, compared to Noon Sunshine’s previous drama “Nirvana in Fire”, this amount of time is nothing.

It has been a year since the filming of the drama was completed, and it has not been broadcast yet. However, Hou Hongliang said that Beijing North TV seems to have the intention to purchase the film recently. If it can be successful, combined with the previous Shanghai TV, the income can almost be earned back.

In comparison, spy war dramas are more popular. Especially the final version of "The Disguiser" has a very strong cast, so it is estimated that it will not be shelved for as long as "Nirvana in Fire".

However, this is all about Noon Sunshine. Although Arclight is now one of the investors of this drama, it does not have any channels or connections with the TV station.

I wonder if we can build some connections with Mango TV after the variety show "Star Detective" starts working together.

Just as he was thinking this, Song Zhi's cell phone suddenly rang.

Knowing that she had difficulty moving, Meng Bai carried her to the sofa next to him and sat her down, then took her cell phone.

After the call was connected, the girl responded a few times, then her expression gradually became surprised, and finally she thanked him repeatedly before hanging up the phone.

"What are you so happy about?" Meng Bai asked casually when he saw her happy face.

"It was the crew of 'Gardenia Blossoms' that I auditioned for yesterday. I thought there was no hope, but I didn't expect them to call and say that I was selected." Song Zhi said happily.

After saying that, she looked at Meng Bai and said, "Did you recommend it to me?"
