It had just rained in autumn, so the outskirts of the capital were particularly cold.
Suddenly, a roar came from the front of the small Western-style building with green tiles and white walls. "Han Jing, today is the day you die!"
A man in a Chinese tunic suit had a fierce look in his eyes. The black muzzle of his gun was pointed at the man in military uniform opposite him. They were followed by a group of people. Some looked nervous, some were excited, and some were alert. They all had different thoughts about this gun battle that was about to start.
"Cut! Wrap up! " The director's voice sounded from the side of the set. The actors on the set immediately relaxed and put down their prop guns. They all had polite smiles on their faces and bowed to each other.
In the entertainment industry, at least on the surface, smart people knew how to be polite and considerate. Those who dared to act like big shots were all brainless idiots.
The staff immediately rushed up. Some were busy handing water and tissues to the actors, while others began to pack up the props. The scene looked very busy, but in fact, everyone was doing their job in an orderly manner.
Compared to the other actors who were surrounded by a group of assistants, the man standing in the middle stood alone. He was dressed in a well-ironed military uniform, and his buttons were tightly buttoned down to the last one. His cold face was chiseled, and his head was lowered. His eyes were slightly restrained, and his thin lips were slightly pursed, revealing a sense of abstinence. His slender and fair fingers were placed on the watch band on his wrist, meticulously adjusting the watch.
This was a drama from the Republic of China.
He just stood straight, but he was out of place with the people around him who were also wearing military uniforms. Instead, he seemed to be one with the Western-style building behind him.
He really looked like someone who had walked out of that era.
The director looked at the male lead he had picked out with satisfaction. He patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Gu Ting, what's wrong? Haven't you finished filming yet? "
Gu Ting raised his head again. The sternness that belonged to a soldier suddenly disappeared and turned into a cold aura. He no longer looked like a person from the Republic of China. Instead, his temperament was more otherworldly, and his expression was indifferent. He didn't look like an ordinary person.
He smiled. "Director Huang, I'm just thinking about something."
Director Huang looked at Gu Ting lovingly. He was in a good mood. The filming of this drama was going smoothly, so he was very happy to end work early for tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival. He smiled brightly at Gu Ting, who he was most satisfied with. "Is that so? What's the plan for the Mid-Autumn Festival? "
"Director Huang, Gu Ge!" Before Gu Ting could answer, Yang Cai'ning, who played the female lead, walked over with a smile. "Does Gu Ge have any jobs for this Mid-Autumn Festival? I want to invite Gu Ge to my birthday party. "
"Sorry, I have something to do." Gu Ting smiled distantly and took a step back without batting an eyelid, avoiding Yang Caining's seemingly unintentional arm that was rubbing against him.
Yang Cai'ning was a starlet that Mushroom Entertainment had been working hard on for the past two years. She indeed had more acting skills than the average starlet. That was why she was able to get the role of the female lead in this drama that was filled with veteran actors.
However, this drama was a male drama. Although she was the female lead, she did not have any emotional scenes with the male lead. She was just a female character with the most scenes.
Gu Ting had been in the entertainment industry for ten years, and he had acted in mostly male dramas. He rarely acted as a couple with female stars, and he had never even had any scandals with them. His female fans were quite satisfied with this, but this had also led to countless male and male CP videos being edited out.
Gu Ting, who had been a veteran for many years, did not have a Weibo account, and even had to put a few goji berries in his water bottle, knew nothing about this. His manager only saw these videos as entertainment for the fans, so he did not say anything to Gu Ting.
What a joke. Gu Ting was such a serious person and didn't care about managing his fans. If he found out, he wouldn't care if these people were his fans or if they made the video out of love for him. He would definitely not show any mercy and even send a lawyer's letter.
Therefore, it was a good thing that Gu Ting did not use Weibo. His manager, Hu Qing, secretly rejoiced. Doting on fans was an important role for celebrities nowadays. If Gu Ting could not do this, then it was better for him to maintain his cold and aloof persona, so that his fans would not leave him.
After leaving the set, Gu Ting drove back to the city alone. He did not drive fast, but his driving was very steady, just like his reassuring personality.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, the traffic in the capital was worse than usual. Even though the crew was on holiday at three o'clock, when Gu Ting arrived at the city center, the sky was already completely dark.
He parked his car in the parking lot of Hongguang Mall, and the distance between the left and right was almost exactly the same as the white line. Gu Ting raised his hand to look at his watch. It was half past eight.
He put on his cap and mask, and just as he got out of the car, he heard someone arguing not far away.
"Nana, I really know that I was wrong. Please forgive me!"
Gu Ting inadvertently glanced at the man who was begging the woman. He had blonde hair, a tall nose, and a tall figure. He was actually a foreigner who spoke fluent Chinese.
"Dunta, stop pestering me. We have broken up for a long time."
The woman was tall, but compared to the man, she looked a lot smaller. She turned slightly to the side to reveal her face. Her delicate facial features, palm-sized face, and she was stunningly beautiful even without any makeup.
Gu Ting was just about to leave when he paused and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Gu Ting remembered that girl.
This was a rare thing.
As a patient with late-stage face blindness, the people he had met could be divided into:
"I can recognize her in a second"
"I can recognize her after looking at her for ten seconds"
"I can't recognize her now, but maybe I can be saved after getting along with her for a long time"
And "I can't recognize her even if I'm beaten to death".
Usually, the only people he could "recognize in a second" were his family and a few friends he had been with for more than ten years. Now, there was an unfamiliar girl.
But he had only seen that girl once.
But he also felt that it was natural for him to be able to remember her face.
She was very beautiful. It was not the kind of beauty that was stereotypical in the entertainment industry, but a very distinctive beauty.
Her pair of peach blossom eyes curved at a seductive angle. Her small nose bridge, slightly pouty lips, and shallow dimples when she spoke gave her a pure beauty. She was more than 1.7 meters tall and had perfect proportions. Even though she was only wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, it still accentuated her long, straight legs and slim waist.
Even though Gu Ting had seen many beauties, and he did not remember people based on their looks, he was very sure that this woman was probably the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.
The last time he saw her was in Changbai Mountain. The man beside her at that time did not seem to be the man in front of him.
Even though Gu Ting could not distinguish their faces, the temperament of these two men was completely different.
The scene in front of him looked like an ex-boyfriend pestering his ex-girlfriend.
He did not know where that aloof and otherworldly man had gone.
Out of a sense of humanitarian concern, Gu Ting slowed down his pace. There were too many cases on the news of boyfriends hurting their ex-girlfriends out of love.
Then he saw the man being pressed to the ground and beaten up by the girl.
"If you pester me again, I'll beat you up every time I see you. Don't think that I don't know how many girls you have under your feet!"
Every punch of the girl was very strong. Even though he was several meters away, Gu Ting could still hear the "bang bang" sounds of her fists landing on the man's body. The man's screams did not drown out the sound at all.
Gu Ting: … It seemed like she did not need him anymore.
Then he saw the girl finish venting her anger. She took out a white handkerchief and slowly wiped her hands. Her posture was elegant. She slightly raised her head, accentuating her slender neck. She was like a white swan landing lightly on the ground.
She seemed to inadvertently glance in Gu Ting's direction. She paused for a moment, then walked towards him gracefully.
Meeting her misty gaze, Gu Ting subconsciously stopped in his tracks. He watched the girl walk towards him. The tips of her ink-black hair fluttered in the wind, reflecting a beautiful luster under the light.
Then the girl stopped in front of him and gave him a polite and gentle smile. He saw her pink lips open and close. Then she said in a clear and melodious voice like an oriole, "Sir, I see that your glabella is dark. I'm afraid that there will be a bloody disaster in the next few days."
Gu Ting's expression immediately changed. It was not because he was frightened by the "bloody disaster", but because the girl in front of him turned out to be a swindler.
He was a staunch atheist and hated swindlers like this the most. Therefore, his scattered good feelings towards the girl were immediately swept away.
However, Gu Ting had always been a person who did not show his emotions. To put it nicely, he was a cold and aloof flower. To put it bluntly, he was extremely shrewd. Even if he hated someone, he would not show it directly.
Through the mask, he spoke in a muffled voice, "Miss, I have something to do. Please step aside."
The Ai Ci raised her eyebrows. She just felt that this person's luck was a little strange, so she kindly reminded him and struck up a conversation. She wanted to find out the origin of his luck, but he obviously did not believe her. She could not do anything at the moment.
It was not a big deal anyway. The Ai Ci shrugged, "Anyway, it's always good to ask this gentleman to be careful during this period of time."
After saying that, she simply turned around and left.
She did not even mention how to solve the problem or how to charge. She just left directly? Did she just give up because he looked particularly difficult to fool?
Gu Ting watched the Ai Ci walk away. She also dragged away the man who was still wailing on the ground as easily as dragging an empty garbage bag.
He was about to leave when the phone in his pocket vibrated.
Gu Ting took it out and looked at it.
It was a WeChat message:
[You came too late. I'm leaving first. Remember to come home for dinner tomorrow night.]
The note in the upper left corner of the message was "Mother."
Mrs. Gu Ying had always been very punctual. He was so late that he had a hunch that he would be stood up.
Gu Ting put away his phone, adjusted his cap, turned around, returned to the car, and drove away from the mall.
He did not take the girl's warning to heart and deliberately did not think of her.
