Cat O, But Traveling Into The Normal World Chapter 24
byChapter 24 Exposed Carefully, tell me everything.…
The filming cycle of the film crew is one and a half months, and the schedule is intensive. Director An is in his forties, has a stern face all the time, and has a very harsh speaking style. He is merciless in criticizing people, but he does not waste the actors. He will call the actors over after the whole scene is over, break it up and talk about the problems.
At the beginning of the contact, Yu You was a little nervous, but he quickly adapted to Director An’s rhythm.
At ten o’clock in the night, an ordinary shooting session ended. Director An called Yu You over with a small speaker, pointed at the monitor and told him the problem just now, his expression gentler than usual.
People who are usually cold and cold suddenly take on a good color, which makes them look particularly scary.
Yu You looked horrified. After listening to the question with great caution, he took another step and met Director An’s requirements.
“Good performance today.”
Director An, with a mournful face that showed he had not slept well for three days and three nights, said to Yu You with a smile but not a smile: “You should finish your work early and go back to rest. Don’t watch the scene tonight.”
The character played by Yu You has two stages: adult version and child version. The child version is played by a child. In order to be able to take care of the details, Yu You usually stays on the set to observe and figure out how the child plays this role.
After hearing the director’s thoughtful words, Yu You’s scalp went numb and he became even more uneasy: “Director An, my state is not right today. Do I need to go back and make adjustments? If you have any questions, just tell me directly.”
The assistant director sitting next to him was also surprised: “Isn’t Xiao Yu in good condition? Why are you so yin and yang? It scares the children.”
Director An stopped laughing for a second and grimaced: “Who’s so angry! I told you there’s nothing wrong, go back quickly and don’t hang around here!”
Shi Sanlin also ran over happily and wrapped a thick coat on Yu You who was wearing thin clothes: “Xiao Yu, let’s go back!”
The director waved his hand to chase them away, but Yu You had no choice but to nod, go change his clothes, put on a mask, and followed Shi Sanlin in a car to leave the set.
Shi Sanlin sent Yu You back to the door of the hotel room and told me mysteriously: “The director specifically told me that you won’t make an announcement tomorrow, so have a good rest.”
Huh?Him?
Yu You was suddenly put on leave, and he couldn’t figure out the reason at all. A big question mark appeared next to his head, and he nodded blankly.
There was a beep of the room card, the door was pushed open, and bright lights poured out from inside.
Seeing the scene inside clearly, Yu You’s eyes widened slightly, with a little surprise on his face.
In the spacious off-white suite, a man stood facing him. He was tall and straight, with stern eyebrows that seemed to be covered with frost. A dark gray sweater wrapped his upper body with wide shoulders and narrow waist, and his legs were neatly defined.
An expensive wool coat lay casually on the sofa next to her.
He was looking at the environment critically. When he heard the movement, he looked up and saw Yu You clearly. A subtle smile flashed across his eyes: “You’re back?”
It’s Jiang Xunzhou, whom I haven’t seen for a month.
Yu You was stunned for two seconds, then closed the door, a little surprised: “Why are you here?”
The young man took off his mask and took a few steps closer. His eyes were as bright as stars, his cheeks were lightly red, and he subconsciously sniffed: “Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”
“I work nearby and stopped by to see you.” Jiang Xunzhou asked, “Do you have a cold?”
Yu You hummed, “I’m currently filming the summer scenes. There was a scene the day before yesterday where I had to fall into the water, and I accidentally caught a cold.”
He walked to the table next to him and said in a vaguely nasal voice, “Honey, please wait a minute. I’ll take some medicine first.”
Yu You mixed a cup of cold medicine and drank it in one go. His facial features were wrinkled from the pain.
Jiang Xunzhou smiled and handed him a glass of water: “Did you have a hard time filming today?”
After Yu Youtontang drank a whole glass of water, he felt that he finally recovered and sighed: “It’s not bad.”
He turned to look at Jiang Xunzhou, his expression showing some distress: “But I don’t know why, but the director’s attitude towards me was very good today. I was afraid that the crew was going to return me. The director couldn’t bear it, so he gave me a good look on the last day.”
Jiang Xunzhou was amused by him: “No, you are already halfway through filming. It is impossible for the crew to change the leading actor at this time. The sunk cost is not worthwhile.”
Yu You thought about this and smiled reassuringly: “That’s right.”
Jiang Xunzhou changed the topic: “By the way, your campus drama in which you are the third male lead has been confirmed to be broadcast.”
“Really?” Yu You asked anxiously, “When?”
“There is no news yet, but we have confirmed with Star Entertainment that it will be broadcast in the next quarter.” Jiang Xunzhou said, “The investment situation is good, and the internal evaluation is S+.”
The S+ level means that the online broadcast platform will tilt resources and the home page will promote it.
Yu You said sincerely: “That’s great. Sister Mingyan will definitely be very happy if she knows about it.”
Jiang Xunzhou chuckled: “I didn’t tell her. As for her loudspeaker, if she knew about it, she would want to talk to a passerby on the street just once. She can’t hide it. The publicity plan has not been finalized yet. She will know when she is needed to cooperate with the publicity.”
“If Sister Mingyan knew that you were talking about her like that, she would definitely scold you.”
Yu You suppressed his laughter and suddenly thought: “Our crew’s hotel is very strictly controlled and no outsiders are allowed to come in. So the director knows that you must be here, and he still allows me to rest all day tomorrow?”
Jiang Xunzhou said: “The director knows that tomorrow is an important day, so he gave you a day off.”
Yu You was confused: “Important day?”
The doorbell rang suddenly.
Yu You went over and opened the door, and Assistant Wan appeared outside.
Assistant Wan was smiling, holding a square cake box wrapped with a ribbon in his hand, and greeted politely: “Mr. Yu, good evening.”
“Good evening.”
Yu You had been filming for a whole day and couldn’t turn his head around. When he saw the cake, he subconsciously asked: “Today is Mr. Jiang’s birthday?”
Assistant Wan Chi asked: “Today is midnight, isn’t it your birthday, Mr. Yu?”
The smile on Yu You’s face suddenly froze for a second, and the surrounding air seemed to become stagnant.
…His birthday?
Yu You suddenly understood – it was the birthday of the original owner.
He stood there, a little at a loss, and explained awkwardly: “Really? I have been busy filming and didn’t pay attention to the time. I didn’t even think that tomorrow is my birthday.”
Jiang Xunzhou walked behind Yu You, stretched out his hand, and said warmly to Assistant Wan: “Thank you for your hard work, please give me the cake.”
Assistant Wan handed the birthday cake to Jiang Xunzhou and said to Yu You with a smile: “It’s not midnight yet, but I wish you a happy birthday in advance.”
Yu You was a little uneasy and whispered: “…Thank you.”
Tomorrow is not his birthday.
In his last life, his birthday was not in winter, but in summer.
The door to the room was closed. Jiang Xunzhou held the cake in one hand and gently held Yu You’s wrist with the other, leading him inside.
Yu You asked: “Did you come here specially for my birthday?”
Jiang Xunzhou nodded: “I asked other friends in the industry who have worked with Director An, Director An will give a day off to actors who celebrate their birthdays.”
The financial fan wants to visit the class, but that’s not possible.
But as a boyfriend, if you want to come over and help celebrate your birthday, you can.
So he’s here.
Jiang Xunzhou pulled Yu You to sit down on the sofa and looked at the time on his phone: “Just in time, we can catch up to midnight.”
Yu You smiled awkwardly, and his slender fingers clenched the fabric on his knees uneasily, not knowing what to say.
This birthday is for the original owner, not for the impostor.
The cake box was opened, and inside was a sea-blue four-inch cake, with layers of snow-white waves made of cream. Among the waves, there was a naive little fish plug-in.
Jiang Xunzhou looked down at him and said, “Happy birthday, baby Xiaoyu.”
Yu You stuttered and replied: “Thank you.”
“Why are you so nervous?” Jiang Xunzhou smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and pinched Yu You’s face gently, “If you don’t want to celebrate your birthday, that’s fine.”
Yu You lowered his long eyelashes, avoided Jiang Xunzhou’s eyes, and said covertly: “It’s not that I don’t like birthdays, it’s just that… it’s too sudden and I’m not prepared.”
He adjusted himself, raised his face again, and said sincerely: “Having someone help celebrate your birthday means that you are cared about and remembered. It is a happy thing. Thank you.”
Although this birthday does not belong to him, Jiang Xunzhou’s intention to help celebrate the birthday is for him – even if it is because of the contract.
Jiang Xunzhou’s eyes fluctuated slightly, and then he said: “It’s almost midnight, come and make a wish.”
Yu You nodded: “Okay, hubby, can you take a photo for me?”
Jiang Xunzhou hummed.
The lights in the room were turned off, plunging into darkness, and the colored candles on the cake were lit at zero point, becoming the only source of light.
Small flames jumped and flickered, and a small circle of hazy orange light fell into Yu You’s eyes.
Yu You closed his eyelashes, clasped his hands together, and secretly apologized to the original owner in his heart.
Jiang Xunzhou took a photo for him and handed the phone back to him.
Yu You logged into his account for the first time in a long time without reading 99+’s private messages. He posted the photos of the cake, the photo of himself and the cake, and the wishing photo that Jiang Xunzhou took for him on Weibo. The copy was accompanied by an emoticon of a small cake.
As soon as I posted it, there were a dozen comments.
[Happy birthday, little fish!The cake is so beautiful!】
【Selfie!Long lost selfie!It’s so cute, I want to kiss this little fish baby with a pouty face![Kiss][Kiss]]
Jiang Mingyan’s active figure also appeared in the comments: [Happy birthday, baby Xiaoyu!!Come back and get together~]
Yu You raised the corner of his lips, replied obediently to Jiang Mingyan with a hello, and then replied to the birthday wishes sent by several fans in the front row, and then logged off from Weibo.
Jiang Xunzhou turned on the light in the room, helped him cut the cake, and handed a piece over: “What wish did you just make?”
Yu You took the cake paper plate blankly: “Isn’t it true that if you say your wish, it won’t work?”
He didn’t expect Jiang Xunzhou to ask. He didn’t make a wish at all when he closed his eyes.
Jiang Xunzhou said simply: “No. Because as long as I can do it, I will help you achieve it.”
Yu You couldn’t help but say what was in his heart: “Mr. Jiang, what you say is so domineering.”
Jiang Xunzhou smiled: “So what is your wish?”
“My wish…”
Yu You thought for a while: “If we get closer, I hope my cold will get better soon and not affect the shooting.”
Jiang Xunzhou raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “Where’s the one further away?”
“If you wish to be farther away, then…”
Yu You bent his eyes, his eyes sparkled, and his voice was very soft: “I hope many people like me.”
This was the wish he made every time on his birthday in his previous life.
——He wants lots and lots of love.
Jiang Xunzhou’s expression softened a bit, he rubbed Yu You’s head and said, “Yes. The company has already watched the school drama in advance. You performed very well in it. After it is broadcast, many people will like you.”
Yu You’s eyes sparkled with longing: “Really?”
Jiang Xunzhou nodded: “Really, I promise.”
After the two of them finished eating the cake, Jiang Xunzhou told him to remember to rest early if he had a cold, wrapped himself in a wool coat, and left the room.
After Yu You closed the door and said goodbye, he stood alone in the room, completely confused and confused.
Jiang Xunzhou came here just to give him a cake and ask him his wish?
When he first took a picture of the cake, he specifically asked Jiang Xunzhou if he wanted to take a group photo and post it on the news feed to highlight their relationship. Who would have expected that Jiang Xunzhou would refuse.
Yu You originally thought that Jiang Xunzhou came here to celebrate his birthday just for this reason. After being rejected, he couldn’t help but be confused.
Did he really just drop by?
Is Jiang Xunzhou so free?
Yu You also received curious information from Jiang Mingyan.
[Xiaoyu Xiaoyu, what birthday gift did my brother give you?Although my brother is so vicious that one lick of his own could kill him, he is very generous with his actions. He gave me a yacht for my birthday last time.】
[This is his first time in love, so the gift he gave you must be very expensive, right?】
Yu You replied honestly: [Mr. Jiang gave me a cake.】
The tone of the reply was full of disbelief.
Jiang Mingyan: [Just a cake, nothing else?
Jiang Mingyan: [It shouldn’t be!My brother isn’t so stingy when it comes to dating, right?!】
Jiang Mingyan: [Who is this? I will scold him for you right now!】
Yu You scratched his cheek and didn’t care much about the gift.
After all, today is not his real birthday.
If you really received it, you would feel even more guilty and ashamed.
Yu You: [It doesn’t matter, I’ll be happy with the cake. Don’t scold him.】
After persuading him for a long time, Jiang Mingyan on the other side of the screen stopped being angry for him, put down her phone, and fell asleep happily.
During his short day off, Yu You walked around this strange city and bought some souvenirs.
On the second day, I forgot about the birthday cake incident and plunged into the intensive filming tasks of the crew.
The one and a half month shooting cycle is finally over.
The entire crew was relieved and the atmosphere was relaxed. The director, who had always had a straight face, also relaxed and arranged a closing banquet.
The number of guests at the finals banquet is open to the public. In addition to the main cast and crew, sponsors, investors, and various media will also be invited. It is an invisible pre-publicity event.
Yu You specially sent a message to Jiang Xunzhou: [Will you come to the wedding banquet?】
Jiang Xunzhou: [I am out of town and will come over, but I may arrive later.】
Jiang Xunzhou: [Many people should be toasting you tomorrow. If you can, do it. Don’t be stupid. Just drink when someone comes to you.】
The film crew had basically no publicity in the early stage. This is Yu You’s first appearance as a starring role, and it is the focus of media attention.
In addition, the school drama only has two trailers and has not been officially broadcast yet. There are still a lot of doubts about Yu You from the outside world, and attention and topics will focus on him.
Yu You: [I’m not stupid.】
Yu You: [Brother Shi also reminded me to pay attention. He will also help me stop drinking tomorrow.】
Yu You: [Don’t worry, it’s okay!】
But when it came to the closing banquet, Yu You didn’t expect that the situation that day was beyond what he, a just debuting actor, could handle.
Even though Shi Sanlin was standing by to block him, there was still a steady stream of people coming over in the name of congratulations, with smiles on their faces, attentive and enthusiastic.
He could not reach out to hit the smiling man, and because Yu Youren was so soft-spoken now, he was surrounded by many people, and he had to deal with them awkwardly, and he was forced to drink glass after glass of red wine.
The alcohol content of red wine is not high, it is smooth and mellow in the mouth, and has a rich fruity aroma. It does not look intoxicating, but in fact, after drinking one cup, it will quickly make you dizzy.
When Jiang Xunzhou arrived in a hurry, Yu You was being blocked by a boss from the management and making a toast, while Shi Sanlin next to him was surrounded by several other people and couldn’t escape.
The young man was wearing a well-fitting white suit. He had a slender figure, a thin waist and long legs. He was as beautiful as a little prince, with a gorgeous glow from his ears to his cheeks.
He pursed his red lips and looked a little embarrassed. He was troubled by the other party’s words and could not shirk it, so he had to raise the red wine glass in his hand.
Jiang Xunzhou strode over and took the wine glass from Yu You’s hand, with a slightly cold look on his face: “Sorry, my little fish has drunk enough. As an apology, I’ll drink this glass with you.”
“Oh, isn’t this Mr. Jiang——”
The boss opposite had heard rumors about Yu You and Jiang Xunzhou before, but there had been no movement between them recently and he thought they had separated a long time ago, so he had other thoughts.
Now that he understood, he laughed aloud and didn’t dare to drink Jiang Xunzhou’s toast, so he just found an excuse and left quickly.
“How’s it going? Are you okay?”
Jiang Xunzhou put his hand on Yu You’s shoulder and back, which was intimate but not overstepping the boundaries. He tilted his head slightly and asked in a low voice.
Since Jiang Xunzhou appeared, Yu You’s tense nerves suddenly relaxed and he felt somewhat at ease.
As soon as he relaxed, the suppressed drunkenness surged up in an instant. His vision was blurred, his whole body felt weak, and he could hardly stand, so he could only lean on Jiang Xunzhou’s chest.
The ends of Yu You’s eyes were red, and he whispered: “I want to go back.”
In his previous life, he had a pretty good drinking capacity, which was basically enough for social gatherings. Now here, for the sake of safety, he had pushed aside other people’s toasts as much as he could, but he unexpectedly overestimated the alcohol capacity of this body.
Until now, it is already at the end of its strength.
Jiang Xunzhou lowered his voice and coaxed: “Let’s leave now.”
He asked Shi Sanlin to tell the director, and then left directly with Yu You.
He wanted to take people away, but no one dared to stop him. He took Yu You out of the banquet smoothly and got into the car back to the crew hotel.
In the back seat, Yu You couldn’t sit still, his eyes were blurred, and he could only lean on Jiang Xunzhou for strength.
Jiang Xunzhou frowned, touched his face, and asked, “Do you feel bad?”
Yu You’s eyes became more and more dizzy. His eyelashes drooped down, like thin and fragile butterfly wings casting a layer of shadow. He muttered from the tip of his nose: “I feel bad…”
The young man pressed his slightly hot cheek against Jiang Xunzhou’s slightly cool palm. There was an unconscious dependence in his movements. He narrowed his crescent eyes in comfort and let out one or two vague hums from his throat.
Jiang Xunzhou asked worriedly: “Is there any hangover medicine in the hotel room?”
He asked twice before Yu You finally heard it clearly and shook his head hesitantly: “It seems not.”
Jiang Xunzhou responded and only told the driver to drive faster.
At the door of the hotel, Jiang Xunzhou half-supported and half-carried Yu You back to the room, and asked Assistant Wan to go to the nearest pharmacy to buy hangover medicine.
When he went back, Yu You was sitting on the sofa with a serious look on his face, tugging at his tie randomly.
Probably because I felt the tie was uncomfortable, I wanted to untie it myself, but I was so drunk that the tie became more and more messy, like a cat fighting with a ball of yarn.
“Don’t move, I’ll help you.”
Jiang Xunzhou said helplessly, sat Yu You on his lap, and reached out to untie his tie.
The slender fingers with clear joints circled the wrinkled silk tie, and the movements were slow and slow, which looked pleasing to the eye.
Yu You sat on his lap, lowered his head, staring directly at Jiang Xunzhou’s movements, then raised his face and said seriously: “Husband, your hands are so beautiful.”
The boy’s final voice was filled with drunkenness, as if he was coquettishly coquettish.
Is this really drunk?
Jiang Xunzhou only found it funny, untied his tie and threw it aside, then pinched Yu You’s crimson cheeks and shouted: “Yu You.”
Yu You groaned and tilted his head slightly: “What’s wrong?”
Jiang Xunzhou’s heart was softly poked, his expression became gentle, and he asked in a low voice: “Is Yuyou your name?”
Yu You’s brain was in chaos, with only his original instincts remaining. His clear cat eyes were gleaming with water, and he lost focus. His expression looked confused: “That’s my name.”
Jiang Xunzhou asked: “Then what are Alpha and Omega?”
On the bed, Yu You hugged him when he was unconscious and mentioned these terms several times.
He later checked privately, but found nothing.
“Husband, you are so stupid.”
Yu You laughed and pointed at Jiang Xunzhou: “You, Alpha.”
Then he pointed to himself: “I, Omega.”
Then he paused for a moment, seemed to remember something, frowned in distress, and quickly shook his head: “No, no, there is no Alpha here. Husband, you are an ordinary human, and you don’t have pheromones. You can only use perfume to disguise your smell…”
He threw himself into Jiang Xunzhou’s arms again and said comfortingly: “It’s okay, husband, don’t be sad. As an ordinary person, you are doing pretty well.”
“I’m just okay?”
Jiang Xunzhou repeated it, his eyes narrowed slightly: “Then in your eyes, what is true skill?”
There was a knock on the door of the room, and Assistant Wan’s voice came.
“Mr. Jiang, I left the hangover medicine at the door.”
Jiang Xunzhou responded, but remained motionless and did not go out to get it.
The man’s eyes were dark, filled with dangerous emotions.
He held the narrow waist of the boy in his arms with his broad palms and said, “Baby, tell me a little more, okay?”
Yu You asked innocently: “What do you want to know?”
Jiang Xunzhou’s thin lips curved slightly, an inexplicable light flashed under his eyes, and his voice was soft and hoarse: “For example, what is the passion period, what is the reproductive cavity – what are your so-called standards of work?”
His fingers caressed Yu You’s cheek, with a bewitching coaxing tone: “Careful, tell me everything.”
