After a moment, he subconsciously said, "Why would I chase after her? She's just a woman."
Liang Shi: "..."
There's no point in talking to someone like that.
Liang Shi was about to leave when Cheng Ran grabbed her forearm. "Liang Shi, did you and her actually have something going on...?"
“No,” Liang Shi said coldly. “She and I are just friends, it’s not as dirty as you think. And…”
Liang Shi turned to look at her, frowned and said, "Cheng Ran, not everyone is as disgusting as you."
"I'm disgusted?" Cheng Ran asked in surprise, then laughed and said, "Liang Shi, do you still remember what kind of dog you were when you had a sex addiction? You were just a fox two years ago, what the hell are you pretending to be?
Liang Shi: "..."
Liang Shi could not deny these points.
But she only addressed Cheng Ran in the context of the present moment, saying, "Qi Jiao doesn't care about your three-tenths of sincerity, so you should just put away your pitiful sincerity and go away."
Cheng Ran sneered, "Otherwise what? Liang Shi, have you ever loved anyone? Do you know how difficult it is for people like us to love someone?"
Liang Shi: "...I don't want to know."
She was speechless at Cheng Ran's appearance.
I was so speechless that I didn't want to say another word to her.
Cheng Ran said, "I can't end my current life for her."
Liang Shi laughed in exasperation, "Your sincerity is too cheap."
//
My good mood this morning was ruined by Cheng Ran.
Liang Shi had a lot to say when he looked at her, but when he did, it sounded too preachy.
Moreover, Cheng Ran wouldn't listen.
She was too insistent on herself and too stubborn.
Gu Xingyue deserves better.
Even now, Liang Shi still doesn't understand what Gu Xingyue likes about Cheng Ran. When she's with Cheng Ran, she's not only physically weaker, but also psychologically weaker.
Liang Shi used to think that it was because Gu Xingyue was too well-behaved that he had a special fondness for the playboy.
But now it seems that Gu Xingyue also has a rebellious side.
They wouldn't give Cheng Ran a second glance just because she was a promiscuous person.
Cheng Ran is indeed quite pretty, but not so pretty as to be stunning at first glance and unforgettable for a lifetime.
This is a problem I really can't figure out.
That evening, she discussed it with Xu Qingzhu, who said meaningfully, "If love could be explained clearly, then it wouldn't be love."
Liang Shi: "..."
That's true.
Liang Shi had to get up at five o'clock the next morning to go to the film set, so he slept in the second bedroom that night.
After being occupied for several nights, the room was finally returned to Liang Shi.
But after Liang Shi finished washing up, he subconsciously pushed open the door to the master bedroom. Xu Qingzhu was leaning against the headboard reading a book, the same blue-covered poetry collection.
The sound of Liang Shi pushing open the door interrupted Xu Qingzhu's reading. She looked up at Liang Shi with a blank expression, actually wanting to say—what's the matter?
But Liang Shi quickly realized that he had pushed the wrong door.
So in her mind, that look meant—why are you here again?
Liang Shi hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I went to the wrong place."
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
"I've gotten used to it these past few days," Liang Shi added. "You continue reading. I'm going back to my room to sleep. You should go to bed early too, remember to set your alarm, and eat breakfast."
Xu Qingzhu stared at her intently. After a few seconds, Liang Shi couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Without thinking, Xu Qingzhu said, "It's kind of pretty."
Liang Shi: "..."
The previously serious atmosphere immediately relaxed.
Liang Shi reminded her that the temperature would drop tomorrow, so she should wear more clothes.
Also remember to close the door tightly when you get home, and check who it is before opening the door. If it's a stranger, don't open the door.
Also, tell her to take her inhibitors with her and not to stay up too late.
It's just like an adult about to leave home giving instructions to a child left behind.
After Liang Shi finished speaking, she looked at Xu Qingzhu and found that Xu Qingzhu's pupils were not moving, and it was obvious that she was daydreaming.
Liang Shi raised his voice in exasperation: "Xu Qingzhu."
Xu Qingzhu immediately replied, "Yes."
Just like the students who answered.
Liang Shi asked her, "What did I just say?"
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
Xu Qingzhu quickly changed the subject: "I was thinking, it takes 21 days for a person to form a habit, so... is it possible..."
“No.” Liang Shi was afraid she would say something frightening again, so he immediately said, “That’s impossible.”
"I haven't said anything yet." Xu Qingzhu glared at her.
Liang Shi leaned against the door, not exactly lacking in manners, but just appearing somewhat languid.
A person with long arms and legs standing there is pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at them.
Liang Shi said, "Then you can read your book. I'm going back to my room."
It carries a hint of escapism.
But Xu Qingzhu directly exposed her evasiveness, saying, "It's possible that your subconscious brought you to my room."
Liang Shi: "..."
"No," Liang Shi denied.
She would never admit it on such a matter.
Xu Qingzhu shrugged. "Fine."
With a hint of helplessness in her tone and her posture, it was as if she were saying, "Whatever you say."
Liang Shi hurriedly said, "Good night!"
Xu Qingzhu called out to her, "Wait."
Liang Shi raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"
"What time are you leaving tomorrow?" Xu Qingzhu asked her.
Liang Shi replied, "Five in the morning, or maybe a little after four, it depends. My alarm is set for 4:40."
Xu Qingzhu asked again, "How many days will you be gone?"
Liang Shi shook his head: "It's hard to say. Once you join the crew, you basically have to wait until your scenes are finished, which will take at least half a month."
People like Zhao Ying and the others may have to film for another month or so.
Liang Shi's scenes are all concentrated in one place. If they were scattered, she would have to stay on set for at least a month.
Moreover, Liang Shi's scenes were filmed in the suburbs and within Haizhou City, not far apart.
Unlike Zhao Ying and the others, they had to go to other provinces to film for a period of time.
Xu Qingzhu nodded to herself slowly, her eyes darting around as if she were deep in thought.
Liang Shi asked, "What's wrong?"
"Come here." Xu Qingzhu looked up at her and suddenly said in a commanding tone.
Liang Shi: "..."
"What's wrong?" Liang Shi asked as he walked in. "Do you want me to turn off the light for you?"
She happened to walk to the bedside. Her face, which had just been washed, was like a white jade magnet, without a single flaw. Standing beside Xu Qingzhu, she casually turned off the bedside lamp and then couldn't resist touching the top of Xu Qingzhu's head.
Liang Shi really enjoyed the feel of stroking Xu Qingzhu's hair.
It is soft and smooth.
When she touches Xu Qingzhu's hair, Xu Qingzhu's expression becomes exceptionally docile.
Liang Shi coaxed her, "Read for a while and then go to sleep."
Her gentle voice was like honey that wouldn't melt in the quiet room.
Xu Qingzhu moved aside for her, saying, "Stay with me a little longer."
Liang Shi: "..."
Liang Shi sat down on the edge of the bed after hearing her words and asked, "Can't you sleep?"
"You can sleep?" Xu Qingzhu asked back, "It's only nine o'clock."
Liang Shi: "...slept with difficulty."
Xu Qingzhu glanced at her, closed the book in her hand and put it aside, asking uncertainly, "You're going to be gone for half a month?"
Liang Shi nodded: "This is considered short."
She didn't hear the lingering affection and reluctance in Xu Qingzhu's words.
Xu Qingzhu frowned: "How long will it take to grow?"
"Some go abroad to film, or to dense forests. It usually takes three months or more, but some take more than a year. However, the average is three or four months."
"It's so long," Xu Qingzhu asked. "No weekends off? No holidays?"
