Upside Down Moonlight [Entertainment]

Chapter 9

Ji Chongzhou knew something was wrong when he saw Zhou Jiayao's face. He sat neatly on the edge of the bed, looked up to see Zhou Jiayao walk in, and called out brother.

Hoarse voice.The sequelae of drunkenness.

Zhou Jiayao took out a throat lozenge from his pocket, and Ji Chongzhou stretched out his hand. He put the candy in his palm, squatted down, and instead looked up at Ji Chongzhou slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Does your throat hurt?"

Ji Chongzhou opened his hands without moving, and said, "It doesn't hurt, it's just very dry... My stomach feels a little uncomfortable."

Zhou Jiayao took the candy from his palm, peeled off the wrapper, and put it in front of his lips.

Like a child, Ji Chongzhou put the candy into his mouth with his hand.

"Is the barbecue delicious?" Zhou Jiayao stroked his lips slowly with his fingers. Ji Chongzhou's face was pale after a hangover, and his lips were very dry. The marks from his biting the night before were still there. "Are you happy to indulge in the middle of the night?"

Ji Chongzhou's voice became even hoarse: "...No."

"Did you get up and look in the mirror?"

"Ah."

"Look at this, can you still film in the afternoon?"

Ji Chongzhou murmured, "I'm sorry..."

Zhou Jiayao stood up, walked to the bed, and opened the window.The hot wind came in, and he looked at the scenery outside the window. Qincheng was full of buildings. Even though the sun was shining, the ground was covered with lush shadows, which was gray.

Ji Chongzhou slowly sipped the throat lozenge.

After a while, he walked lightly to Zhou Jiayao's side, clutching a corner of the curtain, pressed sugar under his tongue, and spoke in a wet and soft tone: "Brother, don't be angry."

Ji Chongzhou looked at Zhou Jiayao's back, with broad shoulders and a straight back.Zhou Jiayao is tall, eight centimeters taller than him, and eight years older than him.Although they have been together day and night in the past few years, Ji Chongzhou doesn't know much about his past than others.

"Brother, I was wrong," he apologized softly, with a hoarse voice, sounding extremely pitiful, "I will never be like this in the future."

Zhou Jiayao finally turned around, touched his face, his expression was obscured by the backlight: "Well, I remember."

Ji Chongzhou became happy, let go of the curtains, opened his mouth slightly, put the candy that had been sucked into a smaller size on his tongue, and showed him with a vague smile, "This candy is delicious, it tastes like lemon."

Zhou Jiayao paused, and took out a handful from his pocket.

"Wow." Ji Chongzhou picked it up with both hands.

He put the lemon-flavored throat lozenges in his pocket, and sat cross-legged on the bed. He was blinking at Zhou Jiayao, but suddenly stretched and yawned.It was past ten o'clock now, and he had only slept for four hours. His nerves were tense since Zhou Jiayao came in, and now he was finally relieved, and felt sleepy again.

Zhou Jiayao closed the window, drew the curtains, and the room fell into dim light and semi-blindness again.

"Go back to sleep when you're sleepy."

"Oh... I'm actually fine." Ji Chongzhou was not very willing to sleep, he hadn't seen Zhou Jiayao for a day.I didn't feel it when we were not separated, but I found out when we separated. I am so used to being alone by my side. Once he is not around, I really can't help but think about it all the time.

"Is it still a little uncomfortable?"

"Well," Ying Wan added, "a little bit, it's okay."

Zhou Jiayao called the front desk and asked for hot milk to be brought up.

After drinking the milk, he said to Ji Chongzhou: "Go to sleep for a while, I will sleep too."

Zhou Jiayao said while taking off his clothes: "I was so busy with you that I stayed up all day and all night, and you told me not to get angry when you went to drink with others."

He lay down beside Ji Chongzhou.

Ji Chongzhou was a little stiff, and lay down after a long while. The two-meter bed seemed to be separated by the Pacific Ocean.Ji Chongzhou moved around, approached him a little bit, and lowered his voice: "What are you doing back to Qingzhou? Did you sign a new movie?"

"No," Zhou Jiayao turned his back to him, his voice began to get tired, "I signed an endorsement for you, SUNBEAM, a British brand, have you heard of it, their men's trench coats are very famous."

"I seem to have heard of it."

"The gift Shen Rong gave you the year before last was a windbreaker from his family."

"Oh, well, I can't tell the brands apart."

"It's okay, I can tell the difference."

"Well, every time there is an event, you make clothes for me, and fans say I look handsome."

"Didn't it tell you to watch less of what fans say?"

"I didn't look much..."

"You don't live by fans, so whether it's good or bad, don't watch it, otherwise you will be easy to rely on, easy to fall into, easy to be controlled... Whether it's praise or scolding, it's because others want to control you, you know? "

There was even breathing and no response.

"Chongzhou?"

Zhou Jiayao gently turned over and looked at the sleeping Ji Chongzhou.

Ji Chongzhou dreamed that Zhou Jiayao kissed him again, this time there was no words, only a silent, sweet kiss in a falling deep sleep.

As Qin Cheng's filming was coming to an end, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. The scorching sun turned Qin Cheng into a big steamer. Ji Chongzhou's RV was parked outside the set, so that he could go in and turn on the air conditioner right after the scene.

Today is June 21st, Ji Chongzhou's 23rd birthday.

The crew prepared a small cake for him, and a group of people sang happy birthday to Ji Chongzhou, which made him blush and kept saying thank you.

The birthdays in these years are basically celebrated in the crew, but this is the first time that they are so enthusiastic.

Excited, Ji Chongzhou wandered outside the crowd, looking for Zhou Jiayao.Zhou Jiayao was standing in the shadow not far away, and was tightly wrapped in the hot weather, leaving only his eyes exposed, meeting Ji Chongzhou's eyes for a moment.

It seems to have smiled.

Ji Chongzhou's heart turned sweet and sour for a while.Why can Zhou Jiayao just drift away at such a moment?It is obvious that he was once so radiant among the stars, and it is obvious that without Zhou Jiayao, there would be no Ji Chongzhou today.

He hesitated for a moment, smiled at everyone, made a wish and blew out the candles, ate a small piece of cake, then cut another small piece, ran to Zhou Jiayao, and handed it to him.

Xu Yiwei looked at him and said, "Chongzhou treats his assistant very well."

Ning You smiled and said, "Yes."

Xu Yiwei added: "It's so hot, why are you still wearing long trousers, long sleeves, a mask and a hat?"

Ning You didn't speak, but Jin Yi, who just brought iced coffee to distribute to everyone, answered naturally: "He is allergic to ultraviolet rays."

Xu Yiwei glanced at her and said nothing.

Zhou Jiayao looked at Ji Chongzhou who was running over, and was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

"This cake is delicious, try it."

Zhou Jiayao took it, and Ji Chongzhou stuffed another candy into his hand. The lemon-flavored throat lozenges last time were cold and sweet in summer, and Ji Chongzhou was almost addicted.

"Thank you." Zhou Jiayao laughed.He saw the sweat beads on the tip of Ji Chongzhou's nose, and subconsciously wiped it off with his fingers.

Ji Chongzhou was probably a little itchy from being rubbed, so he avoided it and rubbed it vigorously by himself.

Zhou Jiayao said helplessly, "The foundation is rubbed off."

"It's okay, make up later."

Ji Chongzhou looked at him eagerly, waiting for him to eat the cake: "Eat it quickly, it will melt."

Zhou Jiayao pulled off his mask, scooped a piece of cream with a transparent plastic spoon and put it into his mouth, nodded at Ji Chongzhou, and said, "Mmm, it's very sweet."

"That's right." Ji Chongzhou smiled so brightly that his eyes narrowed.

Zhou Jiayao smiled and said, "Yes."

Take another bite.

Ji Chongzhou was quiet for a moment, then suddenly said: "Brother, you have been so gentle recently."

The smile on Zhou Jiayao's face faded: "Oh? I used to be fierce?"

"No," Ji Chongzhou shook his head and said, "I used to be more serious, like a parent, but recently I am like a big brother."

"Is there a difference?"

Ji Chongzhou opened his mouth for a long time, and finally said: "I don't know how to say it, I'm stupid, I can't organize words. I think it's because the filming has been relatively smooth recently, and you are in a good mood."

"went well?"

"Well, we haven't played much against each other recently."

Zhou Jiayao ate the cake bite by bite, and said after he finished eating, "You performed very well."

Ji Chongzhou smiled ignorantly: "Am I going to be a teacher?"

Zhou Jiayao threw away the empty disposable cake pan and spoon, clapped his hands and said, "Whenever the director changes the play, just talk to me and tell me who is the master."

Ji Chongzhou looked at him with a certain longing in his eyes: "Brother, although I know that I still have many shortcomings, and I may never be as good at acting as you are, but these five years, brother, I should not let you go. Are you disappointed?"

Zhou Jiayao was silent for a moment, raised his hand to straighten the broken hair on his forehead, and said softly, "No."

Ji Chongzhou jumped up happily and hugged him: "Brother, this is my best birthday present."

Zhou Jiayao hesitated for a moment, then finally landed his hand on his back and patted him lightly twice.

If there were not so many people on the set, he would definitely not be able to resist kissing him.

"Okay." After hugging for a while, Zhou Jiayao spoke first, "Hurry up and prepare for the next scene."

Ji Chongzhou let go of him. He didn't know if it was hot, his face was flushed, and the hair on the temples on his forehead was wet with sweat.When he turned to leave, Zhou Jiayao suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"what happened?"

Zhou Jiayao said slowly: "Go back tonight, I have something to tell you."

Ji Chongzhou clenched his fingers and his heart was pounding. He thought a lot at this moment, and then discarded all those thoughts. Looking into Zhou Jiayao's eyes, his throat felt dry: "...Is it about acting?"

Zhou Jiayao paused and said, "Yes."

He let go.

Ji Chongzhou said "Oh", as if he wanted to say something, but finally left without saying anything.

Zhou Jiayao stood where he was, put on the mask again, and thought: Why are you suddenly unhappy?

Ji Chongzhou guessed what Zhou Jiayao was going to say tonight.

Qin Cheng's scenes have been filmed almost as of today, and the two most important things are the two bed scenes.Director Yin Wenqu said that he had a problem to solve the day he first joined the team. Two days ago, the director also cared about his emotional state. Ning You hinted that he and she could do it... until today, it's time to solve it .

Throughout the afternoon, Ji Chongzhou's filming condition was not good.

Yin Wenqu didn't scold him, and let him go in advance, telling him to go back and make adjustments, and the next few scenes will be filmed tomorrow.

Ji Chongzhou apologized earnestly, saying that he would make adjustments.

On the way back to the hotel, Zhou Jiayao sat in the back row with Ji Chongzhou as usual.All silent.

Xiao Liu glanced at the rearview mirror several times, wondering if they had a conflict.In the past, although he spoke little, he would always say a few words, and he was never as silent as today.

This silence continued until the 22nd floor.

Along the way, Ji Chongzhou was recalling Zhou Jiayao's style of doing things in the past. It seems that as long as it is related to performance, he has a madness, just to present the best state and the best effect.When Xu Yiwei talked about kowtowing his head that day, he felt that Zhou Jiayao could do it. Then he remembered that at the barbecue table that day, Ning You also said that Zhou Jiayao played a patient in "Stubborn Disease" and really put himself Got into the hospital.

Even to guide him in acting, in order for him to find his feelings, Zhou Jiayao has done many ridiculous things with him.

Like a hangover.

Such as horror with bloody hands.

For example, the problem of whether cigarettes burn your hands or not.

Like fainting.

Like...kissing.

Shen Rong once said to him: "Xiao Ji, don't learn from him seriously, Zhou Jiayao is not healthy, he is too crazy. You protect yourself and don't let him hurt you. If one day you can't stand him anymore, just Tell me. In the past three years, since you called me sister, I will definitely help you."

The two went back to 2207 together, and as soon as the door closed, Ji Chongzhou asked, "Are you going to talk about sex scenes?"

Zhou Jiayao said, "Yes."

Ji Chongzhou bit his lips until his lips turned pale, and then they flushed bright red again: "I won't sleep with Ning You."

Zhou Jiayao looked at him.

Ji Chongzhou met his gaze stubbornly.

Zhou Jiayao approached him, lowered his head and stroked his hair, his forehead almost touched his forehead, and then said softly, "What about me?"
