The next day.
Yanjing was shrouded in continuous rain.
Chen Feng woke up early and sat by the bed, staring blankly at the pouring rain outside the window.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Suddenly, his phone vibrated wildly.
He picked it up and saw that it was Liu Rui calling?
Chen Feng had thought she wouldn't contact him again.
His heart skipped a beat.
Could it be…
She wanted to meet today?
Last time, he was inexplicably slept with, and Chen Feng felt like he had suffered a great loss.
Could there be something happening today?
Chen Feng casually answered the phone.
“Hello?”
“Hello, are you… awake?”
From the phone came Liu Rui’s slightly embarrassed and bashful, nervous voice, which sounded quite pleasant.
Chen Feng swallowed, walked to the window, and looked outside: “Awake, a thunderclap woke me up.”
“Then… are you free these days?”
Chen Feng’s eyes lit up: “I’m free.”
“Then shall we meet?”
“Now?”
“Mm, there’s something I need to tell you.”
“Okay, where should we meet?”
“At the coffee shop opposite the supermarket where you live.”
“Alright, see you in half an hour.”
“Mm, bye-bye.”
They hung up the phone.
Chen Feng smiled.
The way Liu Rui spoke to him on the phone, so soft and sweet, really felt like two lovers in a passionate relationship talking.
Logically, she should be quite busy with filming, right?
What could she want to talk about so early in the morning?
Chen Feng felt a sense of anticipation.
He quickly washed up, grabbed an umbrella, and hurried out of his home.
…
Half an hour later.
Inside the coffee shop.
Chen Feng pushed open the door and saw Liu Rui, dressed in ordinary jeans and a T-shirt, wearing a baseball cap and a mask, sitting quietly in a corner.
It was early in the morning, and there weren’t many people in the coffee shop.
Only she was there.
Chen Feng put down his umbrella at the entrance and quickly walked to sit opposite her: “Hi.”
“Hi.”
Liu Rui looked up at Chen Feng.
There was a hint of bashfulness in her eyes.
They were two people who had already had the most intimate contact, yet they greeted each other like strangers.
It felt very strange.
Chen Feng looked at Liu Rui and asked, puzzled: “Are you not going to the film set today?”
“Yes, I’ll be going to film outdoor scenes in a few days. Director Zhuang is finishing up other people’s scenes these days, especially with rain scenes today, so I… can rest for two days.”
Liu Rui lowered her head as she spoke.
Chen Feng: “…”
Was this a hint?
She could rest for two days?
So she came to find him?
So, they could meet more often these two days?
To deepen their relationship?
“Oh, right, what do you want to drink? It’s on me.”
Liu Rui suddenly looked up and asked.
“No need, thank you. I’m not used to drinking coffee so early in the morning.”
“Oh, I see.”
Liu Rui blinked: “Then… have you had breakfast?”
“Not yet.”
“How about we have breakfast together?”
“Wait a moment.”
Chen Feng scratched his head: “Did you call me out just to tell me you’re resting for two days? Is there nothing else?”
“There is.”
Liu Rui smiled awkwardly: “There’s one more thing I might need to trouble you with.”
“Just say it, no need to be so polite with me.”
Chen Feng nodded: “After you’ve said it, we’ll go have breakfast.”
“Alright then.”
Liu Rui nodded and said: “It’s like this, I… I have a cameo role in another film set.”
“Ah?”
Chen Feng was stunned: “Are you working on two productions at once?”
“No.”
Liu Rui quickly shook her head and smiled: “It’s not really working on two productions. I’m just helping out by showing my face. It’s a favor, and there’s no pay.”
“Oh, does Director Zhuang know? He doesn’t mind?”
“He knows. The people from that film set contacted me through Director Zhuang. Since we’re all alumni, I agreed.”
Chen Feng suddenly understood: “Alright, then what?”
“Then… that film set is shooting a film about anti-gambling. I have a cameo role in it, only three days of scenes. Also, they need someone to guest star as a… a villain.”
At this point, Liu Rui kept staring at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng immediately understood.
He looked at her and realized: “Guest starring as a villain, so you came to find me?”
“That’s right.”
Liu Rui quickly explained again: “I just felt that the villain characters you portray are quite deeply ingrained in people’s minds, so I thought of asking you. But don’t misunderstand, I’m not implying that you… have any problems.”
“Haha, no need to explain, it’s not a big deal. It’s quite good to be able to portray villains classically. At least it’s a kind of specialty.”
Chen Feng chuckled, feeling a sense of pride at the same time.
Regardless of whether it’s a villain or a hero, as long as he gains fame, opportunities for character experience will be endless.
Anti-gambling theme?
Not bad.
A gambler, huh?
It’s also a character template.
Liu Rui saw that Chen Feng’s expression was normal, so she breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled: “So you agreed?”
“Yes, I have no problem with it. Anyway, I’ll be resting for two weeks.”
“That’s good then.”
Liu Rui relaxed, then suddenly reached up and took off her mask, and removed her hat, using her hand to smooth her hair, a sweet smile on her face.
Chen Feng sat opposite her, watching.
He couldn’t help but want to give her a thumbs up.
A Yan Film Academy flower-level figure, her looks and figure were both extremely distinctive, one in a million.
It was a pity that night, he was a little too drunk.
He vaguely felt something in his hazy state.
But he didn’t remember that feeling, which was truly a shame.
After Liu Rui finished tidying her hair, she noticed Chen Feng staring at her unblinkingly, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she spoke in a low voice to find a topic: “I watched your live broadcast again yesterday, I truly admire you.”
“Admire me for what?”
“I admire how perfectly you performed.”
Liu Rui smiled sincerely: “Whether it was the psychologically twisted domestic abuser, or the arrogant identity during the on-site assessment, I feel like you handled it all with ease, and you have your own unique way of understanding it.”
“Thanks for the compliment.”
Chen Feng shrugged: “As long as you don’t think I’m a real pervert or domestic abuser. Because there are too many people cursing me online now.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t.”
Liu Rui suddenly blushed and whispered: “I understand you better than those people.”
“Huh? What did you say? I didn’t hear clearly.”
“Nothing, nothing.”
Liu Rui quickly shook her head, her face red.
She felt so awkward.
She didn’t even know how that sentence came out of her mouth.
Because the true meaning of that sentence was actually hinting that she understood Chen Feng’s body better.
Liu Rui’s face turned red.
Chen Feng hadn’t heard clearly what she was mumbling, but her face was red, so whatever she said earlier must have been embarrassing.
Strange!
Was this girl flirting with him?
Did she really want to be in a relationship?
Was she crazy?
Looking at Zhuang Chengwen, he seemed to want to invest heavily in her.
And behind Director Zhuang’s film set was Yanjing Culture Media Group.
That was one of the few super-large film and television group companies in Xia Country currently, with strong financial backing.
So, as the campus beauty of the 2023 class, Liu Rui actually had unlimited prospects.
Would she really fall for him?
Chen Feng didn’t quite believe it.
Just then, his phone rang.
Chen Feng picked up his phone, looked at Liu Rui, and stood up, saying: “Excuse me, I need to take a call.”
“Mm.”
Liu Rui sat quietly without moving.
Chen Feng got up and walked to the corner to answer the phone.
“Hello, Azu.”
The caller was one of his former university roommates, Lin Zu.
He went south right after graduation.
He heard that he had been working in Hengdian.
Their relationship was still quite good.
As soon as the phone connected.
A loud voice came from it: “A Feng, are you busy?”
“Not busy, what’s up?”
“Good. Do me a favor.”
Chen Feng was startled: “What favor? Did something happen to you?”
“No. I got a male second lead role, and the script also needs a cameo, playing a casino swindler locked in prison. I heard you’ve been on What is an Actor recently, right? Seems like you’re getting a lot of exposure, brother? So, are you interested in helping me out? Do a cameo?”
Chen Feng blinked, then suddenly covered the phone’s microphone, walked back to Liu Rui, and whispered: “The alumnus you mentioned who needed your help, his name wouldn’t happen to be Lin Zu, would it?”
“Huh? It is him.”
Liu Rui subconsciously stood up: “Do you know Senior Brother Lin?”
Chen Feng couldn’t help but laugh: “Not only do I know him, we used to be roommates in the same dorm.”
“Ah?”
Liu Rui was stunned.
Chen Feng then put the phone back to his ear and said with a smile: “Azu, I’ll help you out.”
