Chapter 85 Lip Friendship
Zhang Jingyi looked at the two cups of milk tea in front of her, unsure which one to drink.
Because both older girls were looking at her with expectant eyes, hoping to drink the cup she bought.
Zhang Jingyi turned to Gu Luojin for help. Although the two seniors were kind to her because she was new to the place, she was still grateful.
She also discerned something from this; the two older sisters probably had a conflict.
If the relationship is different, then each person wouldn't buy four cups. If the relationship is very good, it's not a problem to even share a cup.
She would drink the same cup as Gu Luojin without any hesitation.
"That's easy, just watch me."
Gu Luojin took out two straws, inserted them into the two cups of milk tea, brought the two straws together, and drank at the same time.
But this pose is not very elegant, and she, being a lady, could not do it.
Song Yi stepped forward: "You can drink whoseever's you want; the order doesn't matter."
Zhang Jingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this charming and elegant senior was easy to get along with.
"Thank you, Sister Yi."
"I'm going to the Shanghai Theatre Academy, so I won't disturb your get-together with your friends."
After saying that, Song Yi got off the RV.
"Jingyi, I'm also going to the theater. You can talk to Yan first."
"Sister, take care."
Li resisted the urge to pinch Zhang Jingyi's cheek; she felt this younger sister was really cute.
After the two became famous, Zhang Jingyi asked Gu Luojin about the relationship between them.
"Brother Gu, those two don't have a grudge against each other, do they?"
Gu Luojin noticed the discord between the two women, but it hadn't escalated to the point of enmity, far from the conflict between Zhang Jingyi and Zhou. "No, it's just that crew members occasionally have minor frictions, isn't that a common occurrence?"
That would be good. This is normal, especially in productions with many actresses, where friction is even more frequent.
One dormitory, ten group chats – that's a single sentence to summarize the relationships within a female college student dormitory.
While calling someone "baby" aloud, one is secretly thinking of their elders.
There is no such thing as true friendship; it's just about who you're close to for a certain period of time.
Boys are different. If they're unhappy, they'll fight it out. They'll either forgive and forget or never speak to each other again.
"Brother Gu, I can't drink more than two glasses, what should I do?"
"Just leave it there, I'll drink it for you in a bit."
After there were only two people in the car, Zhang Jingyi sat down on his bed.
"Brother Gu, do you know how long it's been since we last saw each other?"
"how long?"
Men are all heartless bastards; he really didn't remember.
"7200 minutes, 432000 seconds."
Gu Luojin did a quick mental calculation; it had only been about four months, which wasn't a long time.
"Life is over 30,000 days long, it's quite a long time."
At this moment, his playful laughter would be brutally countered by Zhang Jingyi's sincere and passionate confession.
When Zhang Jingyi said those words, her eyes were filled with determination and longing.
"Brother Gu, life is long, but also short. I just want to live every day with you in my life."
Gu Luojin suppressed his smile. Zhang Jingyi's words were so sincere and straightforward, like a warm current, making his heart feel as if something had gently bumped into it.
"I wasn't full when I was on the show, so you cooked for me."
"When we're working, I can't move the bananas, come and help me."
"When we were about to leave, I still remembered the song you sang for me."
"What the heart desires, it carries away with the wind. In the name of love, are you still willing?"
"Ever since we agreed to meet a week ago, I've been fantasizing and looking forward to the moment we meet."
"I also want to express my grievances and resentment, but I'm afraid of bothering you."
"I keep telling myself not to waste my energy on this, and I often feel that I shouldn't care about you so much."
"I don't dare to send you many messages, because I'm worried you're too busy, and I'm afraid my messages will be a bother to you."
"Whenever I receive a message, the first thing I think of is whether it was from you. Sometimes, just one sentence from you can affect my whole day."
"Brother Gu, I want to tell you, I really miss you."
Zhang Jingyi hugged him again; this was the third time she had asked him for a hug that day.
"I haven't forgotten everything we went through together; I remember it all."
Even with his scumbag mentality, he felt guilty towards Zhang Jingyi and found it hard not to be moved by her feelings for him.
"Jingyi, I miss you too."
After hearing this, Zhang Jingyi finally had an outlet for her emotions that she had been suppressing for so long.
A sudden pang of sadness shot through her nose, and her eyes reddened. She bit her lower lip, trying not to make a sound.
Only her violently shaking shoulders and the torrent of tears betrayed her composure, wetting his shoulders.
"Don't cry, I'm here for you."
Zhang Jingyi cried for a long time before she finally stopped.
"It's all your fault, my makeup is going to be ruined by crying."
Gu Luojin handed her a tissue to wipe away the tears that hadn't yet fallen.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault."
Never try to reason with a girl who is crying, because what she needs most at that moment is comfort.
Looking at her aggrieved yet stubborn face, he took the initiative with Zhang Jingyi.
[Ding: Quest triggered. Zhang Jingyi's affection level towards you has reached 90. You have the following options:] Choose.
[One: Accept her affections, and you will become the brand ambassador for Coach, a mid-range luxury brand, in China.]
[Second: Reject her advances, and you will receive the song "Going Down the Mountain".]
Without hesitation, Gu Luojin accepted Zhang Jingyi's affections even if the system didn't give him a reward, and kissed her sweet and delicious lips.
After a brief moment of surprise at Gu Luojin's sudden kiss, Zhang Jingyi braced herself for what was to come.
Giving your first kiss to the one you love is the happiest thing.
The two switched places back and forth without leaving any room for negotiation.
She ran away, he chased; she hid, he searched.
The two of them were having a great time, though she was a little short of breath, but she was enjoying herself nonetheless.
He resisted his habit of kissing and touching her, worried that he might scare her the first time and ruin her expectations after all the preparations she had made for this meeting.
[Ding: Mission complete. You have been awarded the title of Brand Ambassador for Coach China.]
"Jingyi, I heard that lipstick is poisonous."
"Then why did you kiss me?"
Ten minutes later, he ate all the lipstick that was originally on Zhang Jingyi's lips.
"But I want to be poisoned for you."
In an era before cheesy pickup lines became popular, Zhang Jingyi didn't find them cheesy; instead, she felt only happiness.
"Don't worry, as long as it's a big brand lipstick, there won't be any problems."
"Then I want to buy you lots of lipsticks."
Why?
"Because I want you to pay me back a little bit every day."
Zhang Jingyi felt a tingling sensation all over her body: "Mommy, is this what it feels like to be in love? I want to drown in the ocean of love."
The sensible girl then took out a lipstick from her bag: "This is wild rose color, want to try it?"
"Try it."
Gu Luojin tasted it and found that it didn't taste as good as the previous one.
This provoked Zhang Jingyi to punch her repeatedly: "They're all the same, okay?"
But she still took out the lipstick flavor that Gu Luojin liked: "Try it again, see if there's any difference."
Lipstick is just a medium, but the person's scent is the same, and the atmosphere between the two is bubbling.
After trying out all the lipsticks Zhang Jingyi brought, the two, in a playful mood, ended up with her lips swollen from Gu Luojin's kisses, and Gu Luojin's lips were the same.
The two stared at each other, then burst out laughing.
"Brother Gu, it's all swollen. Will they laugh at me if I go out like this?"
"Don't worry, I'm here with you."
Actually, the swelling wasn't too severe; it was only slight.
If someone is paying close attention, they won't notice anything unusual.
"Should we wear a mask?"
The more you try to hide it, the more likely people will notice something is wrong.
"No need, no one will be able to tell."
Seeing that the RV door was closed, Da Linzi, who had asked Gu Luojin to go to the theater, did not rush to get in.
Those two older women left a deep impression on him last time. If he were to hear something he shouldn't have, he might be killed to silence him.
He called out from under the car, "Brother Gu, it's your turn to act!"
"They're here."
"Do you want to watch me act, or stay in the RV? It has everything you need for food, drinks, and entertainment."
"I don't want to be in the RV, then I'll be all alone again."
"7
"Then come with me."
She was a little clingy, and the lipstick Zhang Jingyi had applied before made Gu Luojin's heart flutter.
"No, it's all swollen up. I'll give it to you tomorrow, okay?"
Gu Luojin stated that he only felt a flutter in his heart, not a surge of passionate excitement.
After Zhang Jingyi finished getting ready, the two of them got off the RV together.
"Brother Dalinzi".
After not seeing him for several days, I noticed he now has a Japanese name.
As a Chinese person, this is dirtier than insulting him.
"No, just call me Brother Da Lin, it sounds weird. Jingyi, you've come to visit the set?"
The group of friends formed a revolutionary friendship on the website "Aspiration". Old acquaintances always have a lot to talk about when they meet.
"Yes, I didn't see you just now."
"Hey, what a coincidence, I was just called away by the director to do some additional shots."
"When did you arrive? I'll treat you to dinner tonight to welcome you back."
Linzi is good at handling things, but Zhang Jingyi gave the choice of agreeing to Gu Luojin.
Da Linzi immediately understood: this set visit was to see Gu Luojin alone.
"Brother Gu, Jingyi, please treat us."
"Dalinzi, it doesn't matter who invites you. You can invite them, and you can decide for yourself who participates."
"Thank you, Brother Dalin. Thank you, Brother Gu."
No, it's not just him who bought it; how come Gu Luojin also owes a favor?
"Dalinzi, it doesn't matter who you thank, the important thing is that we are all reunited. The only ones missing are Zifeng and Pengpeng."
Da Linzi didn't dwell on it: "Yeah, I still remember how tiring it was to carry bananas, it was more tiring than acting."
Teacher Huang's influence is still lingering.
The three went to the filming location, where the main cast and crew were already used to Gu Luojin's acting skills.
The last time Zhang Jingyi saw Gu Luojin act was during the audition for "Better Days".
At that time, Gu Luojin was holding back the water when they were acting together, so she didn't feel Gu Luojin's full strength.
In the drama, Gu Luojin is acting opposite the award-winning actor Cheng Daoming, but he is not overshadowed. On the contrary, the two are evenly matched.
Gu Luojin's acting skills made Zhang Jingyi's mouth drop open and close repeatedly. She thought to herself, "Is this Gu-ge's acting when he's at his full strength?"
Song Yi noticed the little girl's state and walked over to say, "You'll get used to it. Xiao Gu's acting is very good."
"He's not only a good actor, but also a great director. If you're not in good form, you can ask him for help."
Zhang Jingyi nodded.
Song Yi, who was close to Zhang Jingyi, noticed that her lips were slightly swollen.
Presumably, the two had a deep conversation after she and Li left.
"This man, he says he's a friend, but isn't he just his girlfriend?"
Song Yi began to inquire about the relationship between the two: "Jingyi, how did you and Xiao Gu meet?"
This isn't a secret; you'll find out if you look into it a little.
"I met Brother Gu on the show 'Longing' last year."
"So what's your relationship now?"
Her genuine feelings for Gu Luojin just now shouldn't be considered a confession, nor should they have established a relationship, so they can't be considered boyfriend and girlfriend.
"Sister Yi, of course we're friends."
When talking about their friendship, Zhang Jingyi glanced at Gu Luojin.
"I almost thought you two were a couple."
"No, Brother Gu's focus is on his career right now."
There's another senior student competing with her. She's only taken the first step with Gu Luojin so far; there are still many steps to go.
We are all on the same page, and lips are lips too.
During the break, Da Linzi told Gu Luojin about the restaurant and the number of people she had booked.
They were all young people; the veteran actors weren't invited.
Basically, it's five young people: Da Linzi, Gu Luojin, Zhang Jingyi, Song Yi, and Li.
Si Lili did not extend an invitation because Gu Luojin refused.
As Gu Luojin was about to leave after filming, she was stopped by director Sun Hao.
"Xiao Gu, you have a scene tonight where you recite poetry while drunk. Prepare how you will perform it."
"Okay, director."
Even after finishing the performance, I still have to be assigned tasks.
He also had a way of dealing with it: since he was going to get drunk anyway, he might as well really get drunk.
"Nothing staged can compare to the authenticity of a natural performance. The only way to avoid being detected as acting is to experience it firsthand." "Brother Gu, don't get me drunk tonight. Give me some face in front of my 'old friends.'"
"Okay, just make sure you don't get drunk."
Last time he got drunk, he didn't do anything outrageous.
Having learned from his previous mistake, Gu Luojin was hesitant to take his words too seriously.
With Gu Luojin's assurance, Da Linzi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he wouldn't embarrass himself.
The five people arrived at the restaurant they had booked.
"Welcome Jingyi to our 'Joy of Life' production team."
"Thank you all for your warm hospitality. I'd like to propose a toast to you all."
"Drink less, everyone. We have filming tonight."
Everyone understood that it was a gesture of goodwill towards Zhang Jingyi; although red wine doesn't get you drunk, it has a strong aftereffect.
One cup is quite a lot for a girl.
Girls always have something to talk about, while boys only have things to say in their drinks.
"Brother Gu, what kind of success do you think our film can achieve?"
"I don't know, but our lineup is pretty good, so we should be able to get a good result."
"What, worried that your acting career won't go smoothly?"
Da Linzi is worried about his career in the entertainment industry. If he can't make it big, he'll have to go back to performing crosstalk to make a living.
"A little, after all, I'm not formally trained in acting."
Da Linzi has fallen into a misconception: whether someone has good acting skills or not, and whether they can survive in the industry, has little to do with acting.
It mainly depends on your commercial value and whether you are worth including in their projects.
There are plenty of formally trained actors with poor acting skills, and very few young actors and actresses these days build their public image on their acting abilities.
Little Yellow Duck is one, Liu Haocun is another; as for the young actors, Zhang Wanyi, Zhu Yilong, Liu Haoran, and a few others.
After listening to Gu Luojin's comforting words, Dalinzi felt that he was not bad either, and that he could do it again.
"Brother Gu, let me toast you."
In a good mood, Dalinzi's alcohol tolerance also improved, and he drank a few more glasses.
By the time everyone left, Gu Luojin had drunk quite a bit, while Da Linzi had gotten himself completely drunk.
There was no other way but for him to help her back.
"Brother Gu, you don't need to help me, I can walk."
"Really? Or not?"
"Look, I can even dance."
Da Linzi broke free from Gu Luojin's hand and then jumped up wildly.
At that moment, a white dog that was passing by the film crew was stopped by Da Linzi.
Little White trembled, unable to understand what the human in front of it was doing.
"Xiao Gu, will everything be alright?"
"It should be fine, but before anything happens, let's record it on our phones first. This will be his embarrassing moment."
Apart from Zhang Jingyi, all three of them took out their phones and started recording the man and the dog, but in the end, only he recorded.
What happened next surprised everyone present. The docile little white dog was pulled up by Da Linzi to dance, which made everyone laugh.
This also proves that Dalinzi's character is impeccable, but he just can't seem to get over his connection with dogs.
Some people harass women when they're drunk, and some people dance with their dogs when they're drunk—that's a testament to their character.
The dog was thinking, "You humans are having a good laugh."
What about me? Will anyone buy me peanuts? I need peanuts.
It hates humans who lack a sense of boundaries, but it just can't stop moving.
It's a real dog, and the human who makes it dance is also a real dog.
Is it human to dance with your dog while drunk?
"Brother Gu, isn't it a bit unfair of us to treat Brother Da Lin like this?"
Zhang Jingyi had already spoken, so Gu Luojin stopped recording, mainly because his phone battery was running low.
After jumping for about twenty minutes, Gu Luojin freed Xiaobai from his grasp.
The dog was so tired that it lay on the ground panting heavily, but Da Linzi still wanted to keep jumping: "Brother Gu, you're here, let's keep jumping."
He jumped over an awl; he was off to film a movie.
After helping him to the room, Gu Luojin handed him over to his assistant.
"Keep dancing, keep dancing," he kept repeating to himself.
Xiao Bai slept until noon on the second day before appearing on set.
