Chapter 50 Women are like cats!
Although their conversation was unknown, their pulling and tugging, as well as some of their physical expressions and emotions, were clearly visible.
Dilraba brought Xu Lang back to the dinner table, and the two exchanged glances, understanding each other perfectly.
The others at the table, being astute, had long noticed the discord between Xu Lang and Zheng Shuang, but no one pointed it out.
The first rule of survival in the entertainment industry: never meddle in things that don't concern you; moreover, Zheng Shuang is at the height of his popularity, and nobody wants to make enemies for no reason.
Xu Lang had no intention of telling anyone. Just as he returned to his seat, Yang Mi raised his glass and shouted:
"Xu Lang, we've all toasted Director Liang, you're the only one left to go."
Xu Lang immediately raised his glass: "Director Liang, thank you for your care during this time. This is a toast to you. I'll drink it all, please feel free to drink as you please!"
Director Liang smiled, raised his glass, clinked it against his, and drank it all in one gulp. A knowing glint flashed in his eyes. There was no one truly confused at this table.
After setting down his wine glass, Xu Lang caught a glimpse of Zheng Shuang turning away without saying goodbye to anyone. The others acted as if they hadn't seen him and no one stopped him.
The lively atmosphere at the table remained unchanged, as if those who had just left were merely insignificant background figures.
The indifference of the entertainment industry can sometimes be more chilling than direct conflict.
……
It was already 11 p.m. when the show ended.
Yang Mi gestured to Xu Lang to stay with her eyes. Apart from the restaurant, everyone else left one after another, leaving only Yang Mi and Xu Lang at the scene.
Dilraba originally wanted to stay, but Yang Mi told her to go back first.
"Sister Honey, is something wrong?" Xu Lang asked, somewhat puzzled.
Yang Mi smiled and walked along the curb. The orange streetlights shone on the two of them, gradually lengthening their shadows.
"Come take a walk with me!"
"good!"
Xu Lang and she walked side by side on the road, with cars passing by from time to time and hurried pedestrians brushing past each other occasionally.
From a distance, the two looked like a couple walking slowly.
But Xu Lang knew that Mi Jin definitely had something to say, after all, she had a boyfriend, and if the two of them were photographed walking on the street, it would be a big problem.
"Xu Lang, what did Zheng Shuang say to you?"
She went straight to the point without any beating around the bush, but her tone was calm, without questioning or being aggressive.
Xu Lang remained calm: "It's nothing, just chatting!"
Yang Mi stopped in her tracks. The light shone through the strands of hair at her temples and fell on her delicate face, making her look exceptionally beautiful!
She turned her head, her face becoming more serious as she stared at Xu Lang:
"Zheng Shuang confessed his feelings to you?"
"Um... Sister Mi, you have such a vivid imagination, it's a shame you don't write scripts." Xu Lang seemed not yet used to Yang Mi sometimes speaking very directly.
Yang Mi turned to look ahead and continued walking:
"Zheng Shuang has been having a fight with her boyfriend lately, and she's probably feeling down. She might be trying to cope with the pain of heartbreak by moving on to a new relationship. That girl here lately..."
She pointed to her temple and said, "There's something wrong. I'm too emotionally invested and have a low tolerance for setbacks. The slightest disturbance will trigger all my nerves."
As a senior, she has a clear and insightful understanding of matters of the heart; she also knows about Zheng Shuang's situation.
Zheng Shuang's emotions were unstable, and Yang Mi knew about her relationship with her boyfriend, but she simply didn't care because it didn't concern her.
"Sister Honey!" Xu Lang thought for a moment, then decided to say it:
"She wants me to get close to Naza."
"What?" Yang Mi was also surprised. She stopped in her tracks, turned around, looked up, and stared at him, somewhat incredulous.
Xu Lang took out a cigarette, handed it to her, lit it for her first, then lit one for himself, took a deep drag, and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.
"Honey, you didn't expect this, did you? I didn't expect it either."
Yang Mi stared at him with wide eyes.
"However, I refused."
Yang Mi's wide eyes returned to normal, he exhaled a smoke ring, and continued walking forward.
"You're quite sensible. Judging from her expression, she seemed very angry. Did she threaten you?"
Xu Lang nodded slightly without saying a word.
Yang Mi sneered: "You don't need to be afraid of this crazy woman. At least in the drama 'Ancient Sword,' she wouldn't dare to do anything to you."
"Thank you, Sister Honey!" Xu Lang expressed his sincere gratitude.
Yang Mi is also a top celebrity, and her influence in the industry is no less than Zheng Shuang's. If she truly protects Xu Lang, Zheng Shuang won't be able to make any waves.
However, Xu Lang rejected Yang Mi's agency contract. Although she speaks so confidently now, will she bring up the agency contract or other demands again when things actually happen?
After all, in the adult world, no one is kind to you for no reason; everything comes at a price.
Xu Lang was mentally prepared for this.
After parting ways with Yang Mi, he took out his phone and edited a message:
"I'm going back now, you can come now."
When Xu Lang arrived downstairs at the guesthouse, he saw a familiar figure—Bai Mengyan. She was wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, but Xu Lang recognized her at a glance.
Xu Lang gave her a look and stepped into the elevator. She quickly followed, scrutinizing Xu Lang through her sunglasses.
"Are you hurt? Where?"
"alright!"
"All done?" Bai Mengyan took off her sunglasses and stared at him:
"Then I'll lie down, and you move!"
Xu Lang rolled his eyes at her: "You're temporarily recovered, so you can't do strenuous exercise."
"Alright, I'll do it!"
Enter the room!
Bai Lu immediately let loose, ripped off her underwear and threw it on the sofa, quickly took off all her clothes, and pulled Xu Lang into the bathroom.
……
This night is destined to be a sleepless one!
However, Bai Mengyan really did achieve full automation, allowing Xu Lang to enjoy a moment of pleasure without expending any energy.
After a series of dramatic events...
The two talked about the filming of the music video, and Bai Mengyan enrolled in a short-term acting class in Hengdian to consult with professional acting teachers.
Since meeting Yu Zheng, she has devoted herself to preparations, even turning down many modeling projects.
Xu Lang told her some interesting stories from the set and also mentioned the song "Chengdu". Bai Mengyan said that she has been listening to this song on repeat recently and trying to feel it deeply.
When they were so tired that their eyelids were drooping, the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
……
Far away on Hong Kong Island, some people are having trouble sleeping.
Jing Tian tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Her performance on set these past few days had been much worse than before, especially today, when the director kept making her do NG takes until she was on the verge of a breakdown.
The director would rather smash the walkie-talkie than say a harsh word to her, but this forbearance was even more painful for Jing Tian. She would have preferred the director to give her a good scolding.
Her bad mood started when Xu Lang's attitude towards her suddenly turned cold. She couldn't understand why the two of them, who had been chatting enthusiastically until late at night, suddenly fell from a volcano into an ice cellar.
She closed her eyes for a long time, but her mind was filled with all sorts of possibilities, and her brain was very tired.
She took out her phone and opened the chat page. She would often share a long, funny story, but Xu Lang's replies were always perfunctory words like "um," "oh," and "okay." She felt very tired.
I couldn't resist calling Chai Biyun. After thinking for a long time, I heard a sleepy, drowsy voice on the other end:
"My dear lady, it's the middle of the night, and I still need to sleep even though you're not. If you don't have something very important to say, I'm going to start yelling at you."
"It's very important!" Jing Tian got up and sat on the edge of the bed:
"Did you try to find out what Xu Lang was thinking? Why is he suddenly so cold towards me? What happened?"
Chai Biyun on the other end instantly sobered up and remained silent for a moment:
"I went to see him, but he didn't say anything; Tian Tian, maybe there was something wrong with your conversation, and Xu Lang felt it wasn't appropriate!"
"Impossible!" Jing Tian said decisively.
"Next month, after I finish here, I'll immediately join the cast of 'Ban Shu Legend,' which is in Hengdian. I'm going to see him in person!"
"Even if I die, I want to die knowing why!"
Women are like cats: if you're too attentive, they'll find it annoying; if you're too indifferent, they'll feel restless.
Sometimes I think about it, and it's pretty pathetic!
