Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

"Then say something! I was so busy arguing with Chaoyue that I didn't even see you," Tian Xi said with a smile.

"I actually just arrived."

Liu Haochun smiled.

I have a desire to greet Tian Xiwei and Yang Chaoyue.

I just saw them talking so intently that I didn't know how to join in.

I even had a strong urge to get into the room and close the door as soon as possible.

Very awkward.

Even though I want to fit in, my body instinctively wants to be alone.

If it were Bailu, she would probably take the initiative to go over and start a conversation, right?
So I really admire Bailu's social skills; she can talk nonstop with just one word.

not like her.

Just like my mother used to say when I was little, I can't let out a fart for ages.

"I heard from Chaoyue that you taught Bailu acting skills today and even made her cry. You're amazing, Haochun."

"I taught it by mistake; Bailu is just naturally gifted."

Tian Xiwei chuckled upon hearing this: "No wonder Mai Mai said in the group that you're a lackey Chun. Even the things you say are very similar to Jiang Yang's. After Jiang Yang trained someone's acting skills, he also praised that person's talent."

"No, I'm serious, not just being polite. Bai Lu really has a high level of talent," Liu Haochun explained.

"So, Hao Chun, are you saying that when Jiang Yang coached someone's acting skills and then praised their talent, it was just empty politeness?"

"Ah, no, no, oh dear... Xiwei, what are you doing?"

Liu Haochun wanted to explain.

Realizing she couldn't explain it clearly and that Tian Xiwei was just teasing her, she twisted her body and tugged hard at Tian Xiwei's sleeve with both hands.

Tian Xi smiled broadly, then became more serious: "Alright, alright."

"Ah."

“Then I’ll send a message to Jiang Yang and say that you said he was being insincerely polite.”

"Oh, Xiwei!"

Liu Haochun grabbed Tian Xiwei's arm and shook it again.

Yang Chaoyue chimed in, "They're getting anxious, the lackey Chun is getting anxious."

In the [Beautiful Girl Battle 4] group, when Liu Haochun was teased by them for being a lackey, she would bury her head in her blanket and laugh.

Because Jiang Yang did not refute it.

She acquiesced.

But in reality, this was the first time I'd been told this, and it was Tian Xiwei and Yang Chaoyue who said it to me one by one.

Liu Haochun's ears turned red first, a beat faster than his face, and he explained, "No, I'm not Jiang Yang's lackey..."

The more I explain, the more anxious they become.

Especially when she noticed that Tian Xiwei and Yang Chaoyue were laughing even more happily, she said, "You two are really annoying."

He grabbed Yang Chaoyue's arm and shook it: "Chaoyue, you're like this too, really, so annoying."

The gesture carried a hint of wanting to refute but not daring to.

When Liu Haochun shook Yang Chaoyue's arm, the movement was small, more like a child's embarrassed pout.

He spoke softly, without a trace of anger, only a slightly embarrassed reproach.

After saying that, he swiped his room card and entered the room.

The door was not closed.

Tian Xiwei, carrying a mahjong set, followed Liu Haochun in with a grin. This was the first time she had come to the film crew and she had booked this room for Liu Haochun in Hengdian.

It's also a suite.

The supporting character's room is definitely not comparable to the lead actor's.

The only exception was that Jiang Yang, who was not the main character, had the same room as the main character. Tian Xi smiled and said, "Jiang Yang's room is really nice. There is a mahjong machine on his balcony. I only found out when we were chatting today. It's such a waste not to play mahjong... Oh, right, damn it, Chaoyue, we didn't buy playing cards."

"Oh right, I'll go buy it."

Yang Chaoyue walked quickly toward the elevator.

Tian Xiwei pushed the door open, then held it against the wall, waiting for Yang Chaoyue to return. She saw several apples on the coffee table.

She sat down next to them: "Are these apples edible?"

"I'll take it to wash first."

"No need, it's alright. We're so familiar with each other, you don't need to treat me like a guest."

Tian Xiwei casually picked up one of the mahjong tiles, took a big bite, put it aside, and placed the mahjong tiles on the coffee table: "I'll study them first."

Liu Haochun took the apple to the washroom to wash it, moving slowly and gently, carefully and attentively.

Wash the one that Tian Xiwei bit into as well.

He deliberately rinsed the side that Tian Xiwei had bitten with water, dried it, and quietly placed it next to her.

I noticed that Tian Xiwei was carefully counting the mahjong tiles.

Her head was lowered, revealing large almond-shaped eyes and bangs hanging down.

She has obvious dimples at the corners of her mouth.

She has a sweet smile, but a somewhat cold demeanor when she's not smiling, creating a stark contrast.

It looks good no matter how you look at it.

She's prettier than me.

Tian Xiwei rubbed her lower back and said, "My back hurts from being suspended by wires lately. Those things really strain the back."

"Yes, wire work really tests your core strength."

Liu Haochun brought over a cushion and used it to support Tian Xiwei's lower back.

No words were spoken.

He silently bent down to compare the height of Tian Xiwei's back before slowly putting it on.

Seeing Yang Chaoyue come in reminded me of what Yang Chaoyue had said about teaching me acting on set during the day.

She remembered what Jiang Yang had taught her.

To maintain and stabilize relationships with others, you need to let them know your value.

This is a social skill.

She offered, "Xiwei, if you have any questions about acting, just ask me, and I'll help you."

After finishing speaking.

Fearing that Tian Xiwei might think she was showing off, she added, "What I mean is, maybe we have different understandings of acting, and we can discuss it."

"No need."

Tian Xiwei sat on the sofa, fiddling with the mahjong tiles, and answered without looking up.

Liu Haochun's lips stiffened.

He pursed his lips.

Without responding, and not knowing what to say, she simply murmured, "Mm."

I'm not trying to show off my acting skills, I just want to find a topic to chat about with Tian Xiwei.

I want to break the awkward silence between people who are very familiar with each other but have nothing to say to each other.

Why is it that other people can grow closer and closer after knowing each other for a long time, while I just stay in the same place?

I can chat with others naturally online, but I have so many worries in real life. Are people who are bad at talking destined to never learn how to get along with others properly?

Was that statement made too early?
Will she think I'm being too deliberate?

Tian Xiwei's mind was blank, her eyes filled with confusion about the unfamiliar mahjong tiles on the coffee table, such as East, South, West, North, Center, Red, and White. Liu Haochun, on the other hand, had a whole host of questions in his mind.

Tian Xiwei suddenly raised her eyes and stared at Liu Haochun. The corners of her mouth turned up in a light smile. As she spoke, she subconsciously shook her head, with a hint of coquettishness and matter-of-factness: "If I don't understand anything about acting, I'll go to Jiang Yang."

“Xiwei, I mean, when Jiang Yang is busy.”

"I'll just contact him when he's not busy."

Tian Xiwei looked a little smug.

Liu Haochun's boasting was fake.

Her little boasting was genuine.

However, Liu Haochun didn't understand: "It's that kind of thing, Jiang Yang will be busy for a very long time... it's like... we'll have to learn it ourselves eventually..."

The more Liu Haochun explained, the more confused he became, and fearing that Tian Xiwei might misunderstand, he suddenly stopped talking.

"I just don't want to learn it myself, unless he decides he doesn't want to teach me anymore."

Tian Xiwei subconsciously said, "Otherwise, if I'm going to pretend, I'll pretend I can't act at all, you understand, Haochun?"

Anyway, I just want to find all sorts of reasons to get closer.

Even if she pretends not to know, she just wants to be a special presence by Jiang Yang's side.

"Why pretend you don't know when you clearly do?" Liu Haochun asked.

because……

Tian Xi took a breath.

If it were her best friend from high school, Ye Qingzhu, who said that, she would immediately retort in Chongqing dialect: "What are you pretending for in front of me, you little bastard?"

Meeting Liu Haochun's clear gaze, one could understand that Haochun truly did not understand.

Her dance skills are much better than hers.

After listening to Chaoyue talk about what happened on the set of "God of War Zhao Yun" today, I realized that Hao Chun's acting skills are better than hers.

You can tell from their acting.

The most she ever did was almost ten takes.

Zhong Shujia got so frustrated that she told her to stop joking and ask if it was really that hard to act. The extras were getting impatient, and they only breathed a sigh of relief after it was finally over.

This situation has never occurred when Liu Haochun is filming.

No matter the scene, Liu Haochun usually gets it right in three takes at most. The most takes he's ever had is five, which involves nearly a hundred words of dialogue, lots of character interaction, and flashback scenes, making it extremely difficult.

They clearly have such strong professional skills.

How can you be so shallow when it comes to emotions?

"This lousy mahjong is no fun. What are the East, South, West, North winds, and the red, green, and white dragons? I can't understand them at all."

Tian Xiwei pulled Liu Haochun down to sit, moved closer to him, lowered her voice, and her eyes sparkled with a hint of gossip and excitement: "Haochun, it's just the two of us here, let's talk about something private."

I was just about to ask Liu Haochun if she had ever been in a relationship.

Liu Haochun spoke first: "What are we talking about? I received over 60,000 yuan in my share of the film's pay."

Tian Xiwei was taken aback at first, her mouth slightly agape: "Why are you bringing this up?"

I changed my mind.

And yet, it felt perfectly natural.

It's perfectly normal for Liu Haochun to say that.

Hao Chun's mind is completely focused on his career.

Sometimes when I knocked on Hao Chun's door, I would see him either practicing dancing or rehearsing his lines, pondering his expressions.

Last week, when I opened the door for her, I saw that Liu Haochun's eyes were red and her lips were turned down.

At the time, I thought Haochun had been bullied by someone.

It turned out that Hao Chun was simply practicing crying scenes.

His self-discipline is outrageous.

The only thing I couldn't stand was that Hao Chun would act like an alarm clock every night, making me send her dance practice videos on a set schedule, day after day, for months on end.

It's all because of what Jiang Yang said a few months ago: "From now on, you all have to send dance practice videos to Hao Chun every night, and Hao Chun, you'll be in charge of supervising."

If someone is lazy and doesn't post, keep nagging them.

They show absolutely no leniency.

He truly deserves the title of "lackey."

If it were Chaoyue, he might bribe someone with 100 yuan to get a monthly allowance to slack off.

"Haochun, I'm not talking to you about work. This is a private topic, you know? We're girls, it's about that kind of thing."

"In what way? Private matters."

Liu Haochun thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "I understand."

"Got it?" Tian Xi's eyes lit up and she smiled.

Liu Haochun continued, "My period usually starts in the middle of the month, but sometimes it's a few days later, delayed until the end of the month. It might be related to my mood."

Tian Xiwei's smile froze.

He patted Liu Haochun's thigh impatiently, then facepalmed and said, "I give up. You're completely stubborn. You're such a blockhead."

"Isn't that what we're talking about?" Liu Haochun asked, puzzled.

Tian Xiwei's tone was a mix of urgency and amusement as she blurted out, "Definitely not! Why would I care what you do during your period? Are you out of your mind?"

"What were you talking about?"

Tian Xiwei was too lazy to beat around the bush.

It's a very private matter, but saying it in a more subtle way creates the right atmosphere.

When I talk to Chaoyue about these things, he understands immediately.

But when it comes to Hao Chun, everything has to be laid bare, which makes things completely pointless.

They're too slow when it comes to relationships.

The hints were so obvious, how come Haochun just couldn't grasp them?

I won't ask Liu Haochun if she has someone she likes anymore.

Tian Xiwei slowly sat up straight, her reproachful expression gradually fading, and her eyes shifting from helplessness to seriousness.

He stared at Liu Haochun.

But after a few seconds, his gaze froze.

Her gaze slid from Liu Haochun's eyes to the bridge of his nose, and then to his lips, and she unconsciously softened her breathing.

I've never been this close to Hao Chun before, seeing what she looks like.

This is the first time.

How come Hao Chun is so beautiful?

I usually just thought Haochun was very well-behaved and hardworking, but I never paid much attention to him.

Looking at her up close, Hao Chun's eyes are so clear, her skin is so good, and she looks so clean and pure, as if she has never been polluted.

Tian Xi slightly shifted her gaze, then couldn't help but quickly glance back, her lips unconsciously forming a straight line as she asked seriously, "Um, do you like Jiang Yang?" (End of Chapter)
