HuaYu14: Female celebrities are going too fast.

Zhou Xun never expected that he would run into Bai Mengyan just by going out for a simple meal.

If I remember correctly, she is currently still a Taobao model.

Today, Bai Mengyan is wearing a blue and white striped short-sleeved shirt, and her appearance is slightly different from after the fire.

She still has baby fat on her face, and her jawline is round and full, giving her a girl-next-door vibe.

How could Zhou Xun let such a beautiful and youthful girl go unattended?

Upon hearing Zhou Xun's words, the stall owner, as if grasping at a lifeline, immediately began to greet him attentively:

"Yes, yes, there's still a seat for the handsome guy. Ladies, this way please!"

He cast a grateful glance at Zhou Xun.

—We absolutely must add another skewer of large kidneys!

He rolled his eyes at the girl. Who wants to share a table with you? I want to share a table with a handsome boy!

The girl who refused to share a table turned pale and then flushed, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Zhou Xun and Bai Mengyan.

His lips moved, but he ultimately said nothing, slumped back into his seat, picked up his phone, and began typing furiously:

"Ladies, does anyone understand? I met a jerk today..."

Zhou Xun: You're insane!

Bai Mengyan glanced at Zhou Xun and said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Wouldn't that be too much of a bother for you?"

Zhou Xun moved the cat carrier and his coat, which were on the opposite chair, closer to himself:

"No, I'm eating alone anyway."

Hehe had already sat down with a grin, waving at Bai Mengyan:

"Come on, come on, everyone's already made room, don't be shy."

Bai Mengyan had no choice but to walk over and sit down next to Hehe.

So the two of them sat opposite Zhou Xun, separated by the small folding table.

Zhou Xun has long legs; he can put his legs under the table.

Therefore, the position of the table legs presents a state of "Heh, Heh, Zhou, Bai, Zhou, Bai, Zhou".

A batch of skewers had already been served on the table: five lamb skewers, two chicken wing skewers, and a plate of grilled eggplant.

"Let's eat something together," Zhou Xun invited.

Bai Mengyan really wanted to refuse. They had helped her out of a difficult situation, and it was wrong of her not to thank them but to accept their food.

He chuckled before she could finish: "You ordered so much by yourself?"

"These were all gifts from the boss, and there's still a little bit left to serve," Zhou Xun said. "Let me sit a little longer and be his lucky charm."

Bai Mengyan couldn't help but smile.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

"Hehe." Bai Mengyan kicked her under the table.

She originally came to see the handsome guy, but now that she's seen him, she's eyeing his food instead!

"It's okay, let's eat together. I can't eat all by myself." Zhou Xun picked up a skewer of mutton and handed it to Bai Mengyan.

"Try it, it tastes good."

"That handsome guy said he can't finish it all by himself." Hehe picked up a chicken wing. "It would be such a waste."

Bai Mengyan looked at the skewer of mutton handed to her, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to take it:

"Thanks."

"polite."

"Hey, handsome." Hehe looked up at Zhou Xun and asked, "You're so handsome, are you a celebrity?"

Zhou Xun smiled and said truthfully:

"I wouldn't call myself a celebrity; I'm just filming a movie right now."

"Really?" Hehe pointed at Bai Mengyan, "Then you two have something to talk about. She's also aspiring to be a star."

"Don't let her current job as a Taobao model fool you; I believe she'll definitely become a big star someday!"

"And I'll let you in on a little secret: she's still single."

Haha, that's quite true. Bai Mengyan did indeed become a big star later on.

"Hehe." Bai Mengyan kicked her again, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly.

They didn't ask you anything, and you already revealed all your best friend's information?

Zhou Xun looked at Bai Mengyan and nodded in agreement: "I also think she can become a big star in the future, a very famous one."

"Right, right?" Hehe then asked Zhou Xun, "Handsome, you're an actor, what have you been in? I'd like to see them when they're released."

So she was waiting for him here? Zhou Xun thought to himself, but he didn't hide it from her and told her the names of two film crews.

Hehe didn't react much. She's not sensitive to the title of the show, but she is sensitive to the actors' names.

Bai Mengyan slowed her chewing of mutton, her eyes widening slightly as she looked at Zhou Xun and said:

"The Green Fox Hill? I auditioned for the third female lead role in that drama before, but I didn't get the part."

This time, Zhou Xun was caught off guard.

He looked at Bai Mengyan and then said, "The third female lead is supposed to be a cold and aloof character. You're too sweet; you're not suitable."

Zhou Xun's assessment was very objective, betting that he wouldn't be able to get up for a day.

Hehe nodded vigorously beside her: "Yes, yes, our Mengyan is a sweet girl, cold and aloof doesn't suit her."

Bai Mengyan did not refute, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"So who are you playing?" Bai Mengyan asked.

"A supporting role, not many scenes," Zhou Xun said truthfully.

"Then you're really amazing." When the conversation turned to work, Bai Mengyan became more talkative. "The casting for the drama 'Green Fox' was extremely strict."

"I prepared for three months to be the third female lead, but I was made to leave in less than a minute."

Zhou Xun didn't mention that he got in through connections, but instead continued the conversation, following her lead:

"Is the casting director's surname Wang?"

"Yes, it's Director Wang."

"He's quite difficult, but he has a deep understanding of the character. If he doesn't want you, it means you're really not suitable for that role, it's not your problem."

Bai Mengyan felt a little better after hearing this: "And what about you? Did he make things difficult for you during your audition?"

"It was alright." Zhou Xun pretended to recall, "At that time, he let me try two segments, and after watching them, he remained silent for a long time."

After a while, they said, "You can leave now." I thought it was hopeless. But guess what?

Zhou Xun paused deliberately.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that the two women were curious, Zhou Xun continued:

"He called me the next day." He imitated Director Wang's tone, "Damn it, I thought about it all night, and I still think you should play this role."

"Did he really say that?" Hehe asked curiously.

"No, not exactly."

"Hmm?" Both women looked at each other at the same time.

"His tone was a bit deeper than my imitation."

"Haha." Both women were amused by Zhou Xun's words.

Bai Mengyan revealed her highly recognizable little tiger teeth.

After the laughter subsided, Bai Mengyan asked again, "So, are you resting now or...?"

"Let's keep filming," Zhou Xun said. "Today I auditioned for another role, another supporting role with very little screen time, but luckily I got the part."

"You're very lucky," someone chuckled, "one movie after another."

Actually, it's because my kidneys are good. Zhou Xun said, "That's true."

"What do you mean by good fortune?" Bai Mengyan chuckled. "It's because they're good actors."

Hehe looked at Zhou Xun expectantly and asked, "Since your acting is so good, could you teach my Mengyan?"

"She's just one step away from becoming a big star!"

"Hehe." Bai Mengyan nudged her with her elbow. "People are so busy, don't bother them."

"It's okay," Zhou Xun said. "My character doesn't have many scenes, so I have a lot of free time. If you want to learn, I can teach you."

"That's great." Bai Mengyan didn't react in time and just chuckled as she snatched her phone. "Handsome, I'll scan your QR code."

"Okay, I'll contact you then."

The three of them ate and chatted for an hour before ending at 9:30 pm, and then went home.

Zhou Xun opened the door and found that the living room lights were on, while the master bedroom door was closed.

He remembered that the lights were off and the door was closed before he left.

Zhou Xun took out his phone and called the police. He reached for the broom in the entryway, intending to remove the handle and use it for self-defense.

"Hello, this is... How can I help you?"
