After Rebirth, I Become Popular in the Entertainment Industry

23 Decided to chase his wife

However, when the door opened, he realized that it was not Tang Ziyou who he thought, but Gu Jiuxing.

Gu Jiuci opened the door and let Gu Jiuxing into the house.

“Why didn’t you go home today?” Gu Jiuxing asked.

“Too lazy to move. I don’t want to go back.”

“Quarrelled with Grandma?”

“No.” Gu Jiuci denied.

He wasn’t qualified to quarrel with his grandma. It was called a quarrel if he could argue right or wrong, so he decided whether to accept it or not.

However, he had always only obeyed and wasn’t qualified to refuse, so it was not considered a quarrel.

Gu Jiuxing looked at him like this and knew he was still angry.

He took out two tickets and handed them over, “Hey, don’t you want to go to the concert with Xiao You? The tickets are given to you, you go.”

“I’m not going.” Gu Jiuci said calmly.

He looked up at his brother, “I will never see him again. If you like him, I wish you happiness. If you don’t like him, I hope you can be with the person you like.”

Gu Jiuxing didn’t expect that he would say that. He smiled on the spot, “You said you weren’t angry. You aren’t angry, what is it?”

“Not angry.” Gu Jiuci said calmly.

“In the beginning, we weren’t suitable, but now it’s good to be apart. We will go our own way in the future. Goodbye is also a friend.”

“Are you serious?” Gu Jiuxing asked.

Gu Jiuci nodded, “En.”

“No regrets?”

“No regrets.”

Gu Jiuxing was amused by his words.

He sighed, thinking that his younger brother was really a childlike character.

“You said you don’t regret it now, but you will regret it later. At that time, you can’t even remedy it.”

“I seem to be able to remedy it now.”

Gu Jiuci stood up and took a glass of water. He said calmly, “No one wants me to remedy it. Tang Ziyou said he didn’t love me if he didn’t love me. He didn’t answer the phone or didn’t reply on WeChat. He avoided me like a snake. Grandma persuaded me to not embarrass him or cause trouble to him then what else can I remedy?”

He also took a glass of water for Gu Jiuxing, “My joy and sorrow, and my wishes are not within their consideration. When I was loved, I had to get it no matter what. Even I take the time to look more when I’m not loved as a charity. In this case, I might as well follow their wishes.”

After he finished speaking, he handed the water to Gu Jiuxing.

Gu Jiuxing took it and asked him, “Then what if I support you?”

Gu Jiuci was taken aback.

Gu Jiuxing looked at him, “It’s not that no one wants you to do it. I want you to do it. Xiao You also wants you to do it. Even Grandma, she also hopes so.”

“That’s because you didn’t hear what Grandma said to me yesterday.”

“Grandma does have her fault and it’s true that she didn’t give enough consideration to your wishes in this matter. But if Grandma doesn’t want you to be with Xiao You, she won’t match you up in the first place.”

“So is Xiao You. No matter what he is now, he once loved you deeply and he only looked at you with that kind of eyes. He won’t answer your call, won’t answer your WeChat, don’t talk to you too much, and wrap himself tightly. Really, but he also opened his heart once, eager for you to come closer, didn’t he?”

“What you need to make up for is not the Tang Ziyou who gave up on you now, but the Tang Ziyou who used to be close to you and clearly likes you.”

Gu Jiuci was silent.

Gu Jiuxing put the water glass on the table, “If you really don’t like him at all, then I support you to break up. But if you like him, even if there is a little bit, then I hope you can get him back.”

“At least, you should tell him what you want, so that he knows that in the past days, he wasn’t alone in your place, you also liked him.”

“He has liked you for so long, so he should be qualified to know what you think of him.”

Gu Jiuci didn’t speak anymore.

After he came back in disbelief, he had never thought of letting Tang Ziyou know his feelings.

Like him?

Of course, I like him.

But because I like him, I resist him.

They had only been engaged for three months. Three months ago, he vowed to say that he wouldn’t like Tang Ziyou, saying that he hated this involuntary feeling.

However, after three months, he forgot that he couldn’t help himself and had feelings for each other.

The time span was too small and the face slap was too fast. Gu Jiuci couldn’t say it.

So he wanted to redeem Tang Ziyou, but he didn’t want to expose his true feelings. In his vision, if Tang Ziyou was willing to come back, he intended to say, “Let’s start again and get along well.”

Then, he slowly fell in love with him in the future, creating a feeling that ‘I finally fell in love with you after we abandon our previous suspicions’.

However, Gu Jiuxing was right. Tang Ziyou liked himself. Whether he still loved him or not, he was indeed qualified to know his true thoughts, especially if he wanted to get back to Tang Ziyou.

“Do you want us to be together?” Gu Jiuci looked at his brother.

Gu Jiuxing nodded, “You have been together for so long. Xiao You liked you so much before. It’s not that you have no feelings for him, so there’s no reason to give up halfway.”

Gu Jiuci felt that he was right. What’s more, if he wasn’t with Tang Ziyou, who would Tang Ziyou be with?

And anyone else, he wasn’t at ease.

However, if he was with Gu Jiuxing, he could rest assured, but if he went round and round, he still got to this point, wouldn’t his initial decision completely lose its meaning.

His brother had carried too many burdens and lost too much, so Gu Jiuci still hoped that he could meet the person he liked, without any restriction, and got to know each other at his own pace, and loved each other at his own pace.

He was like a boat that had been parked. He stopped briefly in front of the reef, but as long as the wind blew and gently pushed him, he was willing to go upstream again.

After all, in his life plan, there had always been a seat for Tang Ziyou and that seat is clearly printed with two words—partner (伴侣).

Gu Jiuci cheered up again, intending to talk to Tang Ziyou again in another way.

* * *

Shan Qikun learned about Tang Ziyou being attacked by anti fans from his assistant after he finished filming.

When he was filming the next day, he went to Tang Ziyou’s rest area and said with concern, “Are you all right?”

“It’s alright.” Tang Ziyou was calm, “It’s all handled.”

“Alas, this circle is not good at this point. Pink and black are too crazy.” Shan Qikun said with emotion.

Tang Ziyou nodded, “There’s no way.”

This was the case in the entertainment industry. It had been like this before he entered and it was the same after he entered. Vanity Fair (名利场), always like this.

“But you’re fine.”

After Shan Qikun finished speaking, he raised the script and said with a smile, “I happened to be here, let’s check the lines together.”

Tang Ziyou had no objection. Most of his opponent plays were with Shan Qikun, but Shan Qikun was the male lead and was too busy, so he was embarrassed to disturb him. Now Shan Qikun had time to talk with him about the lines, which naturally he wanted.

They played for a while. They saw the female leader, Xu Sijia (徐思佳) coming over and asking gently, “Brother Shan, can I check with you about the scene that is going to be filmed today?”

“Didn’t we check it yesterday?” Shan Qikun asked.

“I want to check again before shooting, so it’s not easy to make mistakes.”

Shan Qikun nodded and said with a good temper, “Then you wait, I have to get the lines of the next scene right with Xiao You.”

“Okay.” Xu Sijia nodded.

Tang Ziyou saw Xu Sijia waiting. For fear that he would delay the other party, he was very serious about the lines. After a while, he and Shan Qikun finished the lines of their next scene.

Shan Qikun didn’t go to Xu Sijia in a hurry but corrected Tang Ziyou’s emotional points before going to Xu Sijia.

Tang Ziyou sat on the chair, intently reciting the lines behind him.

When Shan Qikun came back again, he saw him holding the script upside down, seeming to be in a daze.

He walked up to Tang Ziyou, stretched out his hand and waved in front of his eyes.

Tang Ziyou raised his eyes to look at him, “Are you finished with Sister Xu?”

“It’s finished.” Shan Qikun smiled, “It’s you, were you… in a daze?”

Tang Ziyou shook his head, “When memorizing lines, I like to recite silently.”

“Then you continue to recite. After reciting, we will match the lines we want to film tonight with the lines we want to film tomorrow.”

“En.”

Tang Ziyou quickly recited the lines and once again confronted Shan Qikun with the lines he would say in the evening.

His voice was very good, his lines were very natural, but because he hadn’t officially filmed yet, he was always a little emotional (not expressive enough).

Shan Qikun would correct him at the beginning, but later discovered that he was deliberately suppressing, and asked, “Are you not used to being too emotional when you are privately dealing with lines?”

Tang Ziyou nodded, “There are too many people in public. I’m afraid it will be embarrassing if it suddenly bursts out.”

Shan Qikun understood, “Then when you’re filming for a while, be sure to let it go.”

“Will do.”

Shan Qikun was very worried.

Most of his opponent plays in the past few days had been with Xu Sijia and Xu Wangyang. This was the first time he had played an opponent play with Tang Ziyou and it wasn’t clear how Tang Ziyou would play it.

It should be okay, Shan Qikun guessed. After all, his performance in the audition was really good.

After a while, the director asked the two of them to walk over. Shan Qikun and Tang Ziyou stood up, tried the lighting and props, and after listening to the director’s instructions, they entered the shooting area.

In this scene, Fu Yongsi, played by Shan Qikun, gave his magic weapon to Sheng Feiguang, played by Tang Ziyou. The two talked intimately. Sheng Feiguang’s eyes were full of joy and admiration.

Tang Ziyou kept his head down before the director shouted action. He didn’t raise his head again until he heard the director’s ‘action’. His eyes were instantly full of brilliance. It was as agile as the spring water of a mountain stream.

He walked towards Shan Qikun and said cheerfully, “Master, are you looking for me?”

Shan Qikun nodded and handed him the immortal lock on his waist, “Here you are.”

“What is this?” Tang Ziyou asked curiously.

Shan Qikun replied, “Tie the immortal lock.”

After he finished speaking, he explained, “This magic weapon, when used as a whip, can turn rivers to seas. When a rope is disconnected, the immortal can’t get rid of it. I only got it a few days ago as a teacher and it was just given to you.”

Tang Ziyou was pleasantly surprised, “Thank you, Master.”

He looked at Shan Qikun with unspeakable joy in his eyes. The corners of his lips were slightly raised and the tenderness in his eyes was as gentle as water.

Shan Qikun smiled involuntarily when he looked at him like this.

It seemed that he was worried too much. He thought that Tang Ziyou on the stage had a good grasp of every emotional point. He was an actor who could clearly distinguish between on stage and off stage.

Tang Ziyou and Shan Qikun finished the filming smoothly and it was Xu Sijia’s turn to play against Shan Qikun.

Tang Ziyou didn’t rush away. He sat on the chair and watched Shan Qikun and Xu Sijia. Until the two of them finished their performance and analyzed Shan Qikun and Xu Sijia’s acting, he got up and went to the dressing room with Xiao Lu.

After the filming, Xu Sijia asked his assistant the time. It was already nine o’clock.

 “It’s so late, I’m hungry.”

She looked at Shan Qikun, “Brother Shan, you have no scenes behind, right? Then I will invite you to dinner. After shooting for so long, neither of us have eaten yet. I’m hungry. Brother Shan, you are also hungry.”

Shan Qikun was reluctant to walk too close to the actress, so he refused, “I’m not hungry. I will remove my makeup first.”

After he finished speaking, he also walked towards the dressing room.

Seeing this, Xu Sijia couldn’t help but sigh. She hurried to catch up and said politely, “Brother Shan, are you busy for a while? If you’re not busy, let’s check the rest of the scene.”

“Don’t worry.” Shan Qikun calmly said, “The next match between me and you is the day after tomorrow. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

“Then I will find you tomorrow morning.”

“Tomorrow morning I will have a line with Xiao You.”

“Tang Ziyou doesn’t have many scenes. We have more, so let’s do it with ours first.” Xu Sijia persuaded.

Shan Qikun smiled and didn’t speak.

When Xu Sijia saw him not letting go, she frowned secretly, feeling uneasy.

She was the female leader. Tang Ziyou was only the third male. How could there be a reason to play with Tang Ziyou first instead of herself?

The author has something to say:

Well, it’s time to take Xiao You’s line~~~ I see many little angels in the comment area want to see Xiao Jiu regrets it after Xiao You’s accident in the last life, OK, write it out when the time comes~~
