Chapter 34: Li Dai Tao Jiang
The room was quiet...
It was quiet for a long time...
It was so quiet that even Zhang Ningyuan, who lived in the same room, felt a little creepy.
What happened?
Did he miss something?
Isn't it just that Luo Jian is sick? Is it so shocking?
Were these two people scared silly?
Senya's eyes were empty.
In just one minute, she went from being the melon being eaten to being the badger eating the melon.
A little indigestion...
Du Bin's head was buzzing.
If the scandal between Luo Liang and Su Mei is true, then it is logical that Luo Jian slapped Luo Liang at the full moon banquet a week ago and then fell ill.
No wonder they planned this far.
So Luo Ming is gay.
Su Mei is a lesbian wife...
It really all makes sense.
Sen Ya and Du Binquan exchanged glances.
Zhang Ningyuan keenly noticed the strangeness in the air - Sen Ya and Du Binquan's eyes met at a certain moment and then quickly strayed away, like two undercurrents quietly colliding under the calm sea surface.
A sudden chill ran down his back, and he swallowed unconsciously.
"Senya?"
"director?"
"you……?"
Du Binquan came back to his senses, his solemn expression became relieved, and his voice was loud and a little deliberately loud.
"Ah! Um... So Director Luo is sick and in the hospital..." The last line of his voice dragged out meaningfully. "I really should find time to visit him. It's not easy for him to encounter something like this at such an old age. Tsk tsk... It's not easy..."
From the bottom of my heart.
Du Binquan's change of attitude made Zhang Ningyuan even more confused.
The key point is that Sen Ya also came back to her senses, and an awkward and forced arc appeared at the corner of her mouth. She laughed dryly twice and took over the conversation.
"Yes, Director Luo Jian fell ill as he said. The only one in charge of the family is Luo Ming."
In other words, the removal of trending searches and the creation of confusion should have been led by Luo Ming.
This bastard, despite having the face of a gentleman, is actually so cruel as to do such a thing.
Zhang Ningyuan couldn't understand the situation and could only laugh it off. "Anyone who gets into this kind of trouble would be upset. Senya, don't overthink it. Filming will wrap in a few days. After that, take a long vacation. The storm will eventually pass."
Sen Ya sighed deeply, her chest rising and falling slightly. Even if it was confirmed that it was Luo Ming's doing, the Luo family was well-established and it would be of no benefit to her to break up with them hastily. The most urgent thing was to meet with her agent as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures.
She picked up her phone, checked the time, and said to Zhang Ningyuan, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for always worrying about me. Didn't you have a fight scene in the rain tomorrow? I heard you'll be hanging on wires all day. You should go home early..."
[Tsk tsk tsk…]
A sudden voice came from outside.
[I knew the fairy sister was kind, even after being sold, she still counted the money for others...]
[Alas! This is like playing Werewolf. The killer is right in front of you. Do you think I look like I used to be...?]
Sen Ya suddenly froze and swallowed the word "rest".
Autumn bean sack
Who was sold?
I?
Who sold me?
The murderer is right in front of me?
Sen Ya's gaze quickly fell on the bandit-like Du Binquan.
Du Binquan shook his head violently, his desire to survive overflowing.
Not Du Binquan? Then... Zhang Ningyuan is the only one left in the room...
Sen Ya's gaze drifted towards Zhang Ningyuan.
Zhang Ningyuan is always as tranquil as the mountains and rivers in the distance, with a melancholy yet peaceful warmth.
It can't be him... I must have heard it wrong.
Sen Ya rubbed her temples. She had suspected that her brain and hearing were not good, but she just couldn't doubt the person in front of her.
After Xia Chi finished a game, he was distracted and browsed Weibo for a while. Suddenly, he turned around and looked into the room, his eyes fell on Zhang Ningyuan.
After a whole day of intense filming, Zhang Ningyuan stood a little tired, with his left shoulder half an inch lower than his right, as if one corner was bent by an invisible weight.
This man was born with a somewhat mixed-race bone structure, with his brow bone and nose groove forming a beautiful angle, and he happened to have a pair of round drooping eyes. When he smiled, his eyes were curved, gentle and refreshing. When he was not smiling, his eyes were blurred, with a sense of fragility like battle damage.
[Tsk tsk tsk…]
Xia Chi turned around and sighed.
[I used to be quite optimistic about this central air conditioning, even speaking softly to the girl working on the grounds...]
[Tell me, tell me, how come you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, betrayed me...]
[People's hearts have changed. They all know to shift the blame to Jiangdong...]
Senya: What?! ! !
Du Binquan: Bang?
Sen Ya and Du Binquan turned their heads to look at Zhang Ningyuan at the same time.
he?
How did he get involved in this?
Sen Ya reviewed the entire day's plot...it's completely unrelated.
Hiss, don’t say that, you really shouldn’t say that, when Sen Ya thought about it, it really was possible.
It seems that Luo Ming and Zhang Ningyuan did collaborate on a Republican-era gay drama in their early years, called "The Begonia of War". Luo Ming played a warlord and Zhang Ningyuan played an actor. The two sympathized with each other and loved and hated each other in the play.
However, due to copyright disputes and review issues, the drama was eventually shelved and its promotion was forced to be interrupted. Only a few stills and blurry Reuters photos are quietly circulating in the corners of the Internet.
Sen Ya typed the four words "Beacon of War" on her mobile phone, and several stills with a sense of the times came into view.
One of the photos, a promotional still released by the production company, shows Zhang Ningyuan, dressed in a lilac-colored robe that trails along the ground, his flowing sleeves revealing his delicate wrists. He leans over to pour tea for Luo Ming, his female role's makeup accentuated by the lighting. Luo Ming, dressed in a warlord costume, sits majestically, his gaze fixed on him with a rather innocent look.
The angle of the other photo, likely taken by a fangirl, is unclear. Perhaps it's the makeup, but Zhang Ningyuan, playing the actor, is emaciated. Dark red blood oozes from his wrists, chafed by shackles. His shirt is shredded by whiplash, revealing the outline of his ribs. His damp hair clings to his pale cheeks, but a strange smile plays at the corners of his mouth, his bloodstained teeth glistening eerily white in the shadows. Luo Ming, his back to the camera, looms over him like a dark tower, his military gloves digging deep into his neck.
These two photos alone are enough to make fans of the "Shan Ming Shui Yuan" CP write a 10,000-word essay and support him forever.
Putting aside other things, one thing is at least clear: Luo Ming and Zhang Ningyuan know each other and have worked together.
Sen Ya and Du Binquan's gazes were like two sharp scalpels pointing directly at Zhang Ningyuan.
Zhang Ningyuan felt extremely guilty. He didn't know what had happened to these two people. Why did they change their expressions at the same time without any context?
"Ahem..." He laughed suddenly and licked his dry lips: "You already call me senior brother, so there's no need for us to thank each other or not. It's so formal." His voice was floating, and he lowered his head to adjust the buttons on his clothes.
[That's right, you're so shameless, you're even taking advantage of your fellow disciple's blood-soaked steamed buns.]
Luo Ming and Su Mei's crisis had already been resolved long ago. Why did they bring up Sen Ya's matter to muddy the waters? Unless they still had something they wanted to cover up...
Xia Chi imitated Conan and stretched out his finger to push the non-existent glasses frame.
【しんじつはいつもひとつ! There is only one truth! 】
Who's most afraid of being implicated in this? Perhaps it's your beloved partner.
[For the answer, please see the 97th trending search...]
Zhang Ningyuan was sweating, but Sen Ya and Du Binquan both lowered their heads to look at their phones.
My fingertips stopped at the bottom of the hot search list and found the 97th hot search.
#The stars I met in Bali#
Click on the entry and a sea of tourist photos unfolds like a puzzle.
Among them, a short selfie video of a certain passenger was at the top of the trending list during this period.
She was a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a high ponytail. She made a heart shape with her hands to the camera and pouted to look cute. At that moment, she tilted her head to reveal a man wearing a fisherman's hat with holes behind her on the right.
The girl captioned: "Who knows, my family, I met a celebrity while traveling. Even though he was covered tightly, I still recognized him. Catch Zhang Ningyuan alive!!! (heart) (heart)"
In the video, Zhang Ningyuan had most of his face covered by a hat and was also wearing a mask, but his eyebrows and eyes were still clearly captured when he looked up at the scenery.
The most eye-catching thing is the time when the tourist posted the video, which was the same day that Luo Ming and his wife visited Bali.
The comments below are noisy.
"Sure enough, Bali is a holy place for encountering celebrities."
"Zhang Ningyuan was also in Bali that day. Did he know he had just brushed past the center of the storm?"
"Yuan, do you know what you've missed?"
"Who's that guy in gray next to him? An assistant?"
In the place blocked by the little girl's body, there was a person in gray clothes sitting vaguely, with only his shoulders exposed.
"I have a bold guess, it can't be Ming Shuai..."
"Not with my sister-in-law, but with my gay friend? Hahaha..."
"Will I be able to see Shan Ming Shui Yuan together in my lifetime? I knew they were real. Their eyes were so tight when they were filming the drama."
"Good friends for life, knock on the door."
…
At first, there were only a few scattered jokes in the comment section, and passers-by laughed and said it was "pure coincidence." After all, Luo Ming was married, and the two had almost no contact in public.
It wasn't until CP fans got involved and used a magnifying glass to conduct various investigations, trying to confirm the relationship between the two, that they actually dug up all kinds of seemingly plausible details.
"This dress seems to have been worn by Luo Ming."
"They're similar in height too. I remember the fangirl took photos of the opening ceremony, and Luo Ming was sitting just a shoulder taller than Zhang Ningyuan."
"The same sunglasses as Ming Shuai???"
…
Sen Ya remembered seeing a similar entry at noon, called #Celebrities who accidentally appeared in tourist photos in Bali#. It had quietly climbed to the 42nd place on the hot search list at that time, but then the news of her pregnancy swept the entire Internet, attracting the public's attention, and the entry inexplicably disappeared in a corner where no one cared.
The newly added entries are no longer receiving much attention and are about to drop to the bottom of the top 100.
It’s actually like this…
Luo Nian's age is not in vain. Although he has no talent for acting, he is very good at making people fool their ears.
The air conditioning in the dressing room was freezing cold, and Senya slowly locked her phone screen.
When he looked at Zhang Ningyuan again, his eyes were cold.
"Brother, are you familiar with Luo Ming?"
