HuaYu14: Female celebrities are going too fast.

"Your house?"

"I bought it last year." Naza nodded. "After wandering around for so long, I just wanted to have my own home."

"Naza," Zhou Xun called her name.

"Um?"

"So, wouldn't you call this keeping a mistress in a gilded cage?"

"Haha." Naza looked up and glared at him. "Who do you think you are? You're just a scoundrel at best."

"Even scoundrels have dignity," Zhou Xun said seriously.

"I'm living in my girlfriend's house. If Huang Jingyu finds out, he'll laugh at me."

Na Zha's smile froze, and just as he was about to pull his hand back, Zhou Xun grabbed it.

"So..." Zhou Xun whispered in her ear, "I'll have to find another way to pay the rent."

"Zhou Xun, in broad daylight, you... and we already..."

"Just because it's daytime, while we're still young," Zhou Xun said cheekily, "we can't waste this precious time."

"You're so good with words, always talking nonsense."

……

In the afternoon, the two left Hengdian one after the other and reunited in Shanghai.

Naza's house is a large, single-level apartment of over 200 square meters near Jing'an Temple in Shanghai.

The decor is minimalist, with off-white walls paired with walnut wood floors, and floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Suzhou River.

Zhou Xun, carrying his bag, looked around. The house was very clean.

"You don't usually live here?"

"I'm busy filming, so I can only stay here a few days a year."

Naza changed into slippers and rummaged through the shoe cabinet to find a pair of men's slippers for him:

"I heard that women living alone should have a pair of men's slippers, so I bought them. No one has ever worn them."

Zhou Xun took the slippers and checked the size: "They're the same size as mine. Did you plan this all along?!"

"Hehe, I had my fortune told."

"The calculation was quite accurate."

Naza arranged for Zhou Xun to stay in the guest room, leaving the master bedroom for himself.

Although the two had already slept together on the same bed, Naza surprisingly had a sense of propriety when it came to "who lives in whose house".

Although this sense of proportion doesn't actually serve any practical purpose.

These past few days, Naza has been staying at home, spending time with Zhou Xun.

Since returning from the film set, Naza, the novice driver, has become an experienced one.

She started actively looking for places to visit, and the scenery along the Suzhou River at night was her favorite.

Happy days always pass quickly, and before we knew it, it was time to say goodbye.

Xia stood outside the door with her suitcase, waiting for Nazha and Zhou Xun to share their final farewell kiss.

"Zhou Xun, I'm leaving. Call me tonight."

Naza looked at Zhou Xun, whose eyes were red.

Zhou Xun gently touched her cheek and said tenderly, "It definitely will."

After Naza left, this "home" of over 200 square meters—oh, it can't be called a home, it should be called a place—became just a place.

This place, which is over 200 square meters, became exceptionally quiet.

These days, Zhou Xun goes to the gym every day, and the gym owner is very interested in his muscle-building efforts.

Two people who are interested in building muscle get together and chat for half a day every day, like they've met kindred spirits.

As for the landlady's glare that seemed to want to devour Zhou Xun, Zhou Xun completely ignored her.

That day, Zhou Xun had just finished showering when his phone rang.

It wasn't that Zada ​​that came, but Huang Jingyu.

As soon as the call connected, Huang Jingyu's voice came through:

"Zhou Xun, are you coming to the capital or not?"

Zhou Xun lay on the sofa, holding [JieJieJie] in his arms:

"Weren't you having a lot of fun spending time with men?"

Yes, Zhou Xun hadn't forgotten his cat.

On the other end of the phone, Huang Jingyu became anxious upon hearing this:

"If you fucking bring this up again, I'm cutting ties with you."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it anymore." Zhou Xun laughed. "I'll book my plane ticket now."

"That's more like it. Call me when you land, and I'll pick you up if I have time." And that was it, I hung up.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xun sent a screenshot of the plane ticket he had just bought to Nazha:

[I'm going to the capital to find Huang Jingyu. I'll be back in a few days.]

Naza: [OK. Have fun with your brother, no need to come looking for me. I'm busy with work and can't get away.]

Zhou retrieved a regretful emoji: [Fine.]

Nazar: [Sweetie, I need to earn money to support you.]

When Zhou Xun arrived in Beijing, it was already afternoon. Huang Jingyu was still working on set and sent him his location, telling him to come over himself.

The crew of "Addicted" was at a film and television base in Shunyi. When Zhou Xun arrived, they were just in time to film the last scene.

He stood outside the shed, afraid of seeing something inappropriate if he went in, so he didn't go in.

A moment later, a voice came from inside: "Cut! That's a good take, let's call it a day!" Then came a sparse clapping sound.

A dozen minutes later, Huang Jingyu came out of the shed, grinned when he saw Zhou Xun, strode over, and punched him.

"You've lost weight."

"Of course, filming this movie is exhausting." Huang Jingyu rubbed his shoulders. "Let's go eat, I'm starving."

The two found a hot pot restaurant and booked a private room.

As the saying goes, alcohol emboldens even the most timid person.

Huang Jingyu downed two bottles of wheat juice and then poured out his grievances to Zhou Xun:

"Do you know how fucking embarrassing it is to film men with men?"

Zhou Xun shook his head, "I haven't filmed it, so I can't empathize."

"Damn." Huang Jingyu picked up a peanut. "It was my first time filming a kissing scene with that guy... never mind, I won't name him."

"The director yelled 'Get ready' seven or eight times, but neither of us took a bite."

"So how did you two manage to kiss her?" Zhou Xun asked curiously.

"Damn it. Don't even mention it." Huang Jingyu glanced at Zhou Xun. "I suggested to the director that we use a camera trick instead."

"But that damn director disagreed, insisting that using camera tricks wouldn't have the same effect."

Zhou Xun nodded, agreeing with the sentiment. Director Guo had said the same thing when he filmed a kissing scene with Nazha.

But he didn't say it aloud, afraid of upsetting the child.

"And then? Did you really kiss?" Zhou Xun picked up a piece of mutton from the pot and asked.

"Otherwise what?" Huang Jingyu took another sip of wheat juice. "That damn director said to just treat the other person as a woman, close your eyes, kiss them, and that's it."

"Do you think closing your eyes will help? The moment you kiss them, do you think the feeling of stubble prickling your mouth is a lie?"

Zhou Xun laughed so hard he almost spat out the mutton in his mouth.

"You're still laughing?" Huang Jingyu glared at him. "I've been filming for three months, my lips are numb from kissing."

"There was a scene where I had to stick my tongue out, and we had to do it six times. I almost passed out."

"Alright, alright," Zhou Xun stopped him; he couldn't listen to this anymore.

"Damn, my first drama in my acting career is like this." Huang Jingyu glanced at Zhou Xun and said enviously:

"Unlike you, you slept with a woman in your very first drama."

"I won't say anymore, it's all tears." Zhou Xun raised his glass and clinked it with his. "This isn't a dark history, but rather the path we've come from."

"When we achieve success and fame, great scholars will naturally emerge to recite scriptures for us."

"That's fucking great!" Huang Jingyu stood on one leg on the stool. "I'll brag about that line just for you!"

After showing off a bottle of beer, he looked at Zhou Xun with a sly grin:

"So, you're with an older woman?"

"Oh, no, she's quite young and pretty."

"Damn it, I shouldn't have asked." Huang Jingyu slapped himself in the face and sat down again. "The voice didn't sound right at all back then."

"I won't talk about it, I won't talk about it." Zhou Xun picked up a piece of mutton for him. "Eat meat, eat meat!"

After finishing their meal, the two returned to the apartment Huang Jingyu had rented.

It was a two-bedroom apartment in an old neighborhood. Huang Jingyu cleaned up the second bedroom for Zhou Xun to live in, and the bed sheets and duvet covers were all newly changed.

When Zhou Xun went to bed at night, he made sure to lock the door from the inside.

The next day, Zhou Xun was awakened by a phone call.

It was an unfamiliar number, and Zhou Xun immediately clicked to hang up.

The best way to prevent fraud is to not answer calls from unknown numbers.

The phone rang again after Zhou Xun hung up, and he hung up again.

Why are you so persistent?

Zhou Xun answered the phone on the fourth ring.

As soon as the call connected, an angry woman's voice came from the other end:

[Zhou Xun, if you fucking hang up on me again, don't ever see Nazha again.]

Are you Sister Li?
