On the first day of joining the group, Gu Yixin's rate of getting up reached the lowest record. As always, he had been full of infinite enthusiasm for work. If he didn't want to get up, he wouldn't wake up. As long as he woke up, he would be able to get everything done in five minutes: went downstairs, grabbed a pancake, and went out.
When Gu Yixin remembered how he was short of money, he would suddenly sit up in a daze, washed his face and brushed his teeth while his eyes still closed, and then get on the 9102 bus in a daze. But today, his enthusiasm for going out to work has dropped to a freezing point. Life finally treated this young man ruthlessly who just wanted to move bricks.
Gu Yixin held the edge of the marble table with both hands. He was leaning forward, looking at himself in the mirror with a solemn expression. The expression on his face constantly changed. A shadow flashed in the corner of the mirror. That was Lu Mingshi who rubbed his eyes and yawned while went to the bathroom.
Lu Mingshi took off his pants and turned on the water without changing his face. He asked Gu Yixin, "You do not need to work today?"
Gu Yixin replied sadly, "I'm going to go."
Lu Mingshi nodded and walked over to wash his hands.
These two washbasins were very close. So the two were also very close. Gu Yixin tilted his head to watch the warm water slide over Lu Mingshi's slender fingers, then moved along his arm to his shoulder, and then fell to the bulging abdomen.
Lu Mingshi sensed his gaze and glanced at him suspiciously.
Gu Yixin sighed. He squatted down and hugged Lu Mingshi's waist then put his ears on his stomach.
"Baby." Gu Yixin said seriously, "Now I'm going to do a job that I don't like."
"I do this for the future. So you no need to do work you don't like."
Lu Mingshi watched the furry head lying on his waist, couldn't help but stretch out his hand to stroke it.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yixin turned his head immediately, with a forbearing and happy expression on his face.
"Hiss……"
Gu Yixin lowered his head and buried his face in his hands.
Lu Mingshi was a little confused. His hands were itchy, so he stretched out his hands to try again. This time he wasn't so lucky to succeed, because Gu Yixin was standing upright as soon as he reached the strands of hair.
Gu Yixin stood up, his face flushed.
Gu Yixin's reaction made Lu Mingshi feeling a little frustrated. He muttered in disbelief. "This is your sensitive point?"
Gu Yixin turned around and left.
Lu Mingshi watched him walk out of the room. He quickly took out his pocketbook and wrote it down.
*
Gu Yixin ate today's fragrant scallion pancake with three mouthfuls. Then rushed back to brush his teeth, after that he hurried out. Because he was running out of time, he decided to take a taxi with heartache. When he arrived at the crew, it was exactly half-past eight.
The production staff was preparing props. They needed to transport tons of sand from the transport truck to the studio and spread them on the ground before shooting in the second scene. Yes, the second scene was the scene that the male and female protagonist first met:
The female protagonist and the scum man played by An Luoyu went on a trip to the desert. During the trip, she suddenly found that the scum man was married when he was caught by a junior. So she went alone after beating the scum man but lost her way in the desert. Then she met a man who came out by car to relax.
Gu Yixin wore a mask when he arrived at the set because of the cold. He wore a bloated padded jacket. He also wore work clothes that the crew sent yesterday. So no one could see his figure or face at all.
Gu Yixin stepped in hurriedly. He did not see anyone that he knew, so he was standing in the middle of the set where people brought props back and forth in a daze.
The stage manager saw Gu Yixin when instructing the younger brothers to move the sandbags and regarded him as one of his younger brothers, so he walked to him and patted him on the shoulder.
Gu Yixin turned his head.
A fat big bro pointed in front of him, then pointed to the transport truck outside, to the thick pile of sandbags piled in the shed, and spoke a word in one breath:
"Move them!"
What that Big Brother didn't notice was.
At the moment he said the word "move".
The eyes of the masked brother instantly revealed a light of joy.
*
If the fat big brother noticed the two joy lights on the masked man's eyes, he would not make a mistake. Because in this world, people who were excited when they heard the word "move" were indeed extremely rare.
Half an hour later, the director finished watching the shooting of the first scene and came to the studio of the second scene.
At this time, Cui Chang was frantically looking for Gu Yixin.
The makeup artist dragged a huge makeup case to make up the heroine, but she never saw the male protagonist.
When the director came in, he was very happy to see that the sand was almost ready. The female protagonist was already in place, but the male protagonist was not seen.
He turned round and round in the shed
"Director."
At this time, Gu Yixin entered the shed bringing the last eight sandbags. He poured the sand into the set area and flattened it, then turned his head to tear off the mask.
Fat brother. "..."
The corner of the director's mouth twitched.
I was not paying such a high salary to invite you to move bricks!
However, Gu Yixin's dusty face after moving the bricks was very suitable to play a lonely man trekking in the desert. After he moved the bricks, he felt hot. So he took off his coat, leaving only a white short sleeve, which was also covered with black and gray at this time.
Very good, not just talking about makeup now, even clothes were saved from changing.
The makeup artist who watched him sighed as if she had lost half of his wages

The role Gu Yixin was going to play was actually very good. This play was a collection of 'four mythical beasts' works on xx.com. It had evil, mad, and eye-catching titles:
《Domineering President: Where does my useless, small, beautiful, and young wife escape?》
《Missy's one hundred and one secrets ex-husband》
《Personal school flowers of the indifferent hacker prince》
《The village flower counterattacks: 50 babies of rich mothers》
What did these books have in common?
Of course, it was a rich man!
Then the focus of this drama was to show an awe-inspiring president.
When kind of this scene appeared, it would flash to blind the woman protagonist's eyes while crying bitterly "I love you I sleep with you but I can't be with you一because your mother throw to me一the pile of money makes me GUN*(please hurry up to solve the problems at home and then find me. I am waiting for you at xx unit x0x in xx city)" kinda temperament.
*which means to roll as a curse.
Gu Yixin had very few lines. He just needed to express all his emotions with only one word from beginning to end.
"Ok."
"Ok?"
"Ok……"
The first day of filming was passed without incident. But Gu Yixin was dissatisfied with his performance.
He came to the director with a sad expression. "Director, I don't think I am suitable for acting."
The director was puzzled. "Your performance today is clear good."
"Especially in the fourth scene where the heroine and the hero's mother fought each other. The entanglement and embarrassment on your face are too good!"
Gu Yixin said frankly, "That was actually because I was hungry."
The director paused for a moment, then remembered something again, and praised. "In the reciprocal second round, when the female protagonist's secret love diary was accidentally seen by the male protagonist, how good is the surprise you showed. At this level, even the old drama bones have to be brewed for a long time. But you can do it so naturally!"
Gu Yixin scratched his head embarrassedly. "Director, that's because I thought that I would be able to finish the work and have dinner right away..."
The director finally realized the seriousness of the matter. The director stopped the passing scene and asked for eight boxes of lunch, which were kindly placed on the table in front of Gu Yixin.
Gu Yixin finished eight boxes of lunch with satisfaction. "Thank you director, then I will stop work and go home?"
The director patted Gu Yixin on the shoulder. "Xiǎo Gu, I was negligent. You have no experience in acting, so it is naturally difficult to act as a real domineering president. Alright. I will find you a few real domineering presidents in two days. What you have to do is you eat, live, sleep, and play with them for a week to feel what a real domineering president looks like."
Director Wang waved his hand to finalize the problem.
*
A few days later, the director took Gu Yixin to the suburbs by car. "Xiao Gu, today is a less formal party. So you don’t have to be cautious in front of these people. They are all my nephews, they naturally do it on behalf of my face. Since I promised to help you, of course, I will not embarrass you."
Gu Yixin hurriedly said, "Director, I'm not nervous. Just seeing the route of this car is a bit familiar..."
When the car drove into the gate, Gu Yixin let out a cry in his heart. This was more than familiar. Wasn't this the villa in Honggu District?
*
In the second-floor meeting room number 88. This meeting place was selected by Director Wang. Before Director Wang and Gu Yixin arrived, the villa welcomed a few guests.
The first one who arrived was Lu Mingshi. Since his stomach became more and more visible, he had to be the first to come to no matter where he went. This could avoid being the focus of everyone when you walked in. Lu Mingshi looked around. He found the big sofa in the corner, sat down, took a newspaper to cover his body, and waited quietly for Director Wang and the boy he said he would introduce to them.
Hei Che was the second to arrive. He appeared at the door like an iron tower, blocking the light instantly.
Lu Mingshi looked up and greeted him with a poker expression.
Hei Che replied. He looked around and sat upright on the sofa in the middle.
The third one that arrived was Lin Rui. Lin Rui stepped in the door with careless steps. It was the first time he met face to face with Hei Che. These two were not familiar with each other, so they got up and shook hands politely.
Lin Rui glanced at Lu Mingshi in the corner. Lu Mingshi covered his face with a newspaper, pretending not to see him.
Hei Che had a good impression of this strange beauty, so he invited Lin Rui to sit next to him. Lin Rui agreed with a smile.
Wei Junshan was the fourth one to come. He was still wearing his long windbreaker. Even if it was so cold that he wanted to sneeze when he got out of the car, he had to show his expressionless face. He put his hands in his pockets and walked in arrogantly.
Hei Che and Lin Rui both stood up and shook hands with him. Wei Junshan showed his standard welcome smile, which fully demonstrated the good self-cultivation of a son of a wealthy family.
Then he saw Lu Mingshi in the corner. Lu Mingshi also saw Wei Junshan. Two people made a "hum" from their noses at the same time.
After Lu Mingshi finished humming, he again raised the newspaper to cover his face.
*
After Wei Junshan hummed, his respiratory tract was irritated and his throat and nose were itchy.
He wanted to sneeze.
"What--" Hei Che had a bad feeling.
"Ah-ah-"
Hei Che felt that he shouldn't be standing here. But what the hell with this mysterious hunch?
"Ah-ah-ah Ah chu!"
Wei Junshanshi's shocking sneeze resounded like Lexington's gunshots. The countless spit stars rushed like a rain of bullets, covering all surfaces that were in contact with the air.
Lin Rui had hidden behind Hei Che on time wisely. Fortunately stayed away from this disaster.
Lu Mingshi watched the touching story between Wei Junshan and Hei Che while delighted in the misfortunes of others. Everyone knew what astonishing cleanliness this young master of Hei's Family had.
Wei Junshan had always regarded himself as a family member who knew etiquette.
Not to mention Lin Rui's cynicism, even Lu Mingshi, who was almost the perfect benchmark for domineering presidents in the past, sneered.
I, Wei Junshan, was the most perfect and domineering man in this country! Wei Junshan, who had the motherly love, deserved to have this confidence. But at this time, the unexpected situation made the perfect man a little flustered.
He first tried to take a handkerchief out of his pocket and handed it to Hei Che. Then he regretted to find that he had never put anything in his pocket. So there was only a hand in the pocket, no handkerchief.
Then Wei Junshan immediately apologized to Hei Che, sincerely stated that he would compensate him for all the dry-cleaning costs of the clothes on his body. Then came to his house with gifts the next day to apologize.
Hei Che waved his hand indifferently. "No... no need."
I had been used to it.
Hei Che explained emotionally, "I'll tell everyone that my habit of cleanliness has been cured!"
None of the three seemed to believe it.
"It is true!"
"Because I ever stopped my path to criticize someone because someone sneezed at me, I wasted time and almost missed my own major event. I have understood the truth that..." Hei Che paused and tremble. "Tolerance is the best character in the world!"
The three were silent for a long time.
Then they applauded.
*
Wei Junshan declined the invitation of Lin Rui and Hei Che and sat down at the absolute farthest position from Lu Mingshi in the entire space. Almost as soon as he sat down, Director Wang appeared.
After all people exchanged greetings with Wang Shibo, Lin Rui asked curiously, "Shibo*, the kid you said didn't come today?"
*shì bó: A general term for those who are older than their father among the friends of their parents.
Director Wang smiled beautifully.
"He's here. He's a bit anxious, so he stays out of the building for a minute. He'll come in soon."
When he looked at Wei Junshan and Lu Mingshi, he was surprised. "How can you hear if you sit so far away? Come on. Everyone sit closer and sit in the middle."
Direction Wang was accustomed to managing people on set. Because he was an elder, when he was with these children, he was naturally more casual.
It was just that the situation now was really like the time in university. When the lecturer asked the students at the back three rows to sit in front, but in the front, only the first row was left. So some students who just wanted to make up for their sleep were forced to come to the first row and listened to the teacher's voice in the entire class time.
Just like at this moment, Hei Che and Lin Rui each occupied one of two of the four-seat sofas in the middle, vacating the two closely connected positions in the middle.
Lu Mingshi's expression was stiff. While Wei Junshan made unbelievable expression.
However, Wang Shibo still smiled. He urged them gently and affectionately. "Sit over, sit over, sit in the middle. That kid is very handsome, you guys have to take a good look but you won't see clearly if you sit far away."
Lu Mingshi thought to himself, no matter how good-looking he is, can he be more be good-looking than my husband?
Wei Junshan thought to himself, no matter how good-looking he is, can he be more be good-looking than my sweetheart?
Hei Che thought to himself, I don't even look at him no matter how good-looking he is.
Lin Rui thought to himself, if he is really good-looking, then I will take him hehehe.
When the four of them were still thinking, they heard Director Wang said, "I've mentioned my purpose to come today. I want to introduce a kid. He now needs to act like an overbearing president. So today, I invite you all over here, I hope you can help him to find this kind of feeling."
Lin Rui smiled and asked, "Why does Shibo have to meet all of us?"
"Of course it's because you are the leaders among the overbearing presidents of this city," Director Wang said kindly. "However, considering that you have different schedules and based on feasibility considerations, we still have to choose one from you who best meets our requirements to bring this kid, so not all of you..."
The four thought, Wang Shibo must get confused. Which one of them seemed to be so free to have time to lead people to play?
Then these four people had the same thinking: it would be fine if this kind of work was directly handed over to Lin Rui because he was the only one who the most interested.
Sure enough, Lin Rui took the lead with a smile and said, "It's better to let me come--"
The other three people said yes.
Director Wang was skeptical. "Are you so sure?"
Hei Che, Lu Mingshi, Wei Junshan: Nodding.
Director Wang let out a sigh of relief. He put down the teacup he hadn’t drunk in his hand. “Okay, you young people are busy. This old man won’t delay your time much. Lu Nephew, Hei Nephew, Wei Nephew, if you are busy, you may go back first. I will ask the butler to take you off. Lin Nephew stay for a while, I will introduce the kid to you."
The three of them had already stood up, ready to say goodbye to Wang Shibo, and exchanged greetings such as that Director Wang had to pay attention to health first.
But they heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs. Then a familiar figure stepped vigorously from far. Two strands of hair emerged first, then forehead and eyes.
Lu Mingshi had been reaching out his hand to Director Wang, with half of his words had been said. "I have something else, first--"
His voice stopped immediately.
*
Before Gu Yixin went upstairs, he had already finished the draft that he wanted to say. So as soon as he stepped on the last step, he didn't look at the faces of several presidents, directly bowed with his eyes closed.
"Hello everyone! I am Gu Yixin. The director told me that I must act well. In the future, I rely on you! Together with you, I will work hard. You let me go east, I will never go west. In the future, I will never forget you!"
Yummy Yogurt's thought:
