Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 656 Young man, you are on a narrow path! (Monthly ticket requested!)
"Mr. Nachi, thank you for your hard work!"

After leaving Mao Lilan and Bai Ye in a slightly embarrassed manner, Nachi Shingo was about to find a towel to wipe off the sweat and blood on his body and dispel the depression in his heart. Just at this moment, a woman wearing exquisite glasses walked over with light steps, holding a neatly folded towel in both hands, smiling and full of concern: "Please wipe the sweat with a towel!"

Nachi Shingo was slightly startled, then quickly adjusted his state, showing his signature charming smile, as if the unpleasantness just now had never happened, and responded in a gentle tone: "Oh, thank you!"

Even though he had just been rejected by Byakuya and Mao Lilan, and suffered unprecedented setbacks and blows, and was filled with depression and frustration, how could he easily show such an embarrassed look in front of a beautiful woman?
After all, he is the handsome man Nachi Shingo who has to maintain his "handsome and charming" image at all times! How can he lose his composure in front of others!

After a brief pause, Nachi Shingo blinked his eyes, trying to show his so-called charm, and extended an invitation to the woman with glasses in front of him.

"By the way, Taeko, would you like to have dinner with me tonight? By the way, let's find a quiet and comfortable place to relax and enjoy a wonderful night."

The bespectacled woman called Mio's face, which was originally filled with smiles, froze instantly. She waved her hands hastily, with obvious panic and rejection in her tone: "No..."

Nachi Shingo still did not give up, with a smile on his face that he thought could charm everyone, and continued to persuade him patiently: "What's the matter, it's just a simple dinner, it won't take up too much of your time! Think about it, after a busy day, in a warm atmosphere, we can enjoy delicious food while chatting about our thoughts and relax our tense nerves. This is such a pleasant thing. Maybe it can bring you and me more creative inspiration, after all, art comes from life."

Hearing this, Douyuan Taeko was about to firmly refuse again, but a voice suddenly sounded beside her, decisively rejecting Nachi Shingo's approach: "No way!"

"Because..."

Director Gondo walked up slowly, looked at Douyuan Taeko gently, and said, "Taeko is going to marry this boy next month..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at a young man next to him, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "Isn't that right, Shimazaki?"

"Yes, that's right!"

The young man called Shimazaki's cheeks instantly turned red. He scratched his hair shyly, revealing a shy and happy look on his face.

His name is Yuji Shimazaki, and he is the A.D., or assistant director, of this drama. He is responsible for arranging the daily operations of the film, including tedious matters such as venue coordination and personnel scheduling.

At the same time, he is also the fiancé of Douyuan Taeko, and the two are about to enter the marriage hall.

Douyuan Taeko's face was inadvertently dyed with a touching blush, and her eyes were full of yearning for a happy life in the future. The light of happiness seemed to be able to dye the surrounding air with a sweet color.

“Haha…Shimazaki you…”

Seeing his shy look and the equally blushing and charming Douyuan Taeko beside him, Director Gondo was just about to tease the sweet couple who were about to enter the marriage palace, adding a bit of joy to the warm atmosphere. However, at this moment, a voice with obvious unkindness and malice came suddenly, like a heavy hammer, interrupting his words.

"Before marriage, people look like flowers no matter how you look at them..."

"But it's just an illusion."

Everyone turned in the direction of the voice and saw a man wearing a red hat.

His appearance is really not flattering. His facial features seem to be randomly pieced together, with no aesthetic appeal at all. His nose is crooked to one side, his eyes are one larger than the other, his lips are always twitching unconsciously, his temperament is vulgar, and his whole body exudes a disgusting aura, as if he is a ghost that has crawled out of a dark corner, making people feel disgusted when they see him.

At this moment, he slowly put down the camera in his hand, stood there with a sarcastic expression on his face, and made sarcastic remarks unscrupulously.

"what are you saying!"

When Shimazaki Yuji heard these harsh remarks, he was immediately furious and could no longer bear it. He rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward to find the man to have a good "argument" in order to defend the dignity of his fiancée.

"Yuji... forget it." Seeing this, Douyuan Taeko's heart tightened and she quickly reached out to stop him. Her eyes were full of worry, fearing that the two of them would really have a conflict, which would lead to the situation becoming out of control.

"No, we can't just let it go like this, who told that guy to say such annoying things!" Shimazaki Yuji clenched his fists in anger, his joints turned white from the force. He stared at the man angrily, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, as if he was going to burn the other person to ashes in the next second.

She actually mocked his fiancée in front of him. Any man with a little blood in his veins would not tolerate such a thing!

"This is just a general statement. I'm not referring to you two in particular. There's no need for you to be so angry."

Noticing Shimazaki Yuji's hostile look that seemed to want to eat him alive, the man in the red hat not only did not restrain himself at all, but became even more aggressive, with an even more mocking expression on his face, and deliberately dragged out his tone, "Or are you two taking it for granted? Then you really like to be sentimental, hahaha!"

The laughter was sharp and piercing, echoing in everyone's ears, like the mockery of a devil, making people feel uncomfortable.

Shimazaki Yuji was so angry that his whole body was shaking violently, and his lips were trembling uncontrollably. He pointed at the man with his fingers, which were shaking slightly because of his anger, and said through gritted teeth: "You..."

At this moment, he was filled with surging anger, which was like a flood that almost broke through the dam of his rationality. He wanted to rush up immediately and beat the other party to the ground, making him pay a heavy price for his bad words and deeds.

"Quack quack!"

But before he could do anything, a horrifying, sharp sound suddenly rang out without warning, like the scream of a night owl, and everyone present was startled.

And this sharp and piercing sound came from the man in the red hat.

"It's the alarm of my watch. It sounds very interesting."

As if he noticed the surprised looks of the crowd, the man in the red hat was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he slowly raised the skull watch on his wrist and boasted to everyone: "I bought this specially when I went to the United States last month. I spent a lot of money on it! Ordinary people can't buy such a unique thing."

As he spoke, he glanced at everyone with contempt, waved his hand, and said nonchalantly: "Oh, I can't shout anymore!" Then, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Then I'll take my leave first!"

After saying that, he turned around and left with a swagger, leaving everyone there. The atmosphere was a little awkward and solemn for a moment.

"This bastard..."

Shimazaki Yuji stared at the man's receding back, his chest heaving violently, and the anger still burning in his heart, as if it would erupt again at any time.

Douyuan Taeko showed a distressed look on her face and whispered to comfort him, trying to calm his inner turmoil.

"Don't get so angry that you get sick. He's just trying to make you angry. We don't need to get angry with people like him, or we'll fall into his trap."

Director Gondo also hurriedly chimed in, "Taeko is right. Don't bother with this kind of person. It's not worth ruining your mood."

To be honest, he was also angry about what the man in the red hat did!

However, this play was a work into which he poured countless efforts and had extremely high hopes.

Therefore, he really did not want such an ignorant and trouble-making person to destroy the harmonious atmosphere of the entire crew and affect the shooting progress.

"Yeah, we should just ignore this kind of clown. It's really not worth it to get angry at him and ruin our health. We can't let him succeed and ruin everyone's good mood for filming."

Nachi Shingo was standing aside, speaking seemingly calmly, but in fact he was secretly delighted in his heart.

Because he felt that this sudden conflict successfully diverted everyone's attention and eased his previous embarrassing situation in front of Mao Lilan and Bai Ye.

But at the same time, he also felt disdain for the behavior of the man in the red hat. In his opinion, although this guy successfully attracted everyone's attention, he seemed vulgar and rude, which was in sharp contrast to his "handsome and stylish" image.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had always maintained what he considered to be his elegant demeanor, and had not lost his composure in front of everyone like the man in the red hat.

With the comfort of Douyuan Taeko, Director Gondo, and Nachi Shingo, Shimazaki Yuji calmed down a little, but he was still a little angry. He clenched his fists and glared at the direction where the man in the red hat left. He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "This guy is usually hard to like... I didn't expect him to say such a thing today. It's really too much!"

Director Gondo patted Shimazaki Yuji on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Don't think too much. He has always been like this, always weird and no one likes him. But he does have some unique skills in filming, so we keep him. Let's focus on filming and don't let him ruin the overall situation."

Douyuan Taeko looked at Shimazaki Yuji with concern, then looked at everyone else, and said with worry in her eyes: "I hope he won't do anything weird and affect the filming of the movie. This is a work that everyone has worked hard to prepare. It would be a pity if something went wrong because of him."

Seeing the whole scene, Conan couldn't help but mutter, "Nachi Shingo, who is so narcissistic that he wants to show his so-called charm anytime and anywhere, the man in the red hat who is sarcastic and hurtful... Why are there so many weird people in this crew!"

"Especially that man in the red hat, he's so annoying! How on earth can the others tolerate him?"

"What he did is simply unbelievable. Isn't he afraid of offending others and then being maliciously retaliated against?"

The other party is so unscrupulous, is it because they have nothing to fear, or do they simply not care about the consequences?

Conan frowned, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement. He really couldn't understand why the man in the red hat would act like this.

Mao Lilan frowned slightly and said softly, "Maybe everyone just wants the filming to go smoothly and doesn't want to make things too awkward. After all, during filming, harmonious relationships between people are very important. However, this person's behavior is really too much. He is so reckless and he is not afraid of affecting the progress of the entire filming."

As she spoke, her eyes unconsciously revealed deep worry.

She knows very well that a harmonious atmosphere in a crew is crucial to the smooth progress of filming.

She was really worried that the current disharmonious atmosphere in the crew would affect the normal progress of filming.

What scared her even more was that if the conflict escalated further, it might lead to some unnecessary violent conflicts, or even... someone might die.

After all, there is an elementary school student who can be called the "God of Death" in the filming team this time.

Past experience told her that wherever her childhood sweetheart was, something unexpected always seemed to happen.

Those bloody lessons, like shadows, hung over her heart, making her worry.

Bai Ye was keenly aware of Mao Lilan's worries. He patted Mao Lilan's shoulder gently, his movements were gentle and warm, and he said softly: "Xiao Lan, don't think too much. After all, quality is something that not everyone can have. There are always some people who only act for their own pleasure and never consider the feelings of others. We just need to do our best and pay attention to the situation around us."

Mao Lilan nodded slightly, forcing a smile on her face, but there was still a hint of uneasiness in her eyes. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and said, "I hope there won't be any more trouble next time."

However, the worries in her heart did not completely dissipate.

Because, she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the atmosphere of this crew was a little weird. The behavior of the man in the red hat was just a fuse, and there might be more unknown contradictions and problems hidden.

She secretly decided in her heart that during the next filming, she would pay more attention to the people and things around her, and try to avoid getting herself and her friends into unnecessary troubles...
