HuaYu14: Female celebrities are going too fast.

"Ah, Zhou Xun, don't scare me!" Naza exclaimed in surprise; those words were still too frightening.

"I was just kidding," Zhou Xun chuckled. "Go to bed early tonight and hide the spare room key outside."

I'll go at dawn tomorrow.

"Okay." Naza nodded obediently. "I'm hanging up now. I'll wait for you in my room."

"Um."

After hanging up the phone, Naza took the spare room key, opened the door, and looked around like a thief.

After confirming that no one was around, she tiptoed out, hid the room key in the fire cabinet, took a picture, and sent it to Zhou Xun.

After doing all this, Naza quickly ran back to her room.

She lay down on the bed, panting heavily.

That's so exciting, even more exciting than having an affair.

"No, no," Naza shook her head and corrected, "This isn't an affair, it's just a way to avoid the paparazzi, a convenient excuse."

After balancing his breathing, Naza turned off the light.

"Make sure you're well-rested, otherwise you'll fall asleep halfway through and lose face!"

She quickly closed her eyes, her mind filled with Zhou Xun's image and the scenes of them together.

I tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Naza opened his eyes in the darkness, patted his burning cheeks, and reminded himself:

"Stop thinking about it, go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep!"

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes again, and began counting sheep.

As I counted, I actually fell asleep.

On the other side, after hanging up the phone, Zhou Xun set his alarm for four o'clock and then turned off the lights to go to sleep.

He didn't have any of the worries that Naza had on his mind; the posture was all Naza suggested on his own initiative, and he just needed to cooperate.

At four o'clock in the morning, Zhou Xun was woken up by his alarm clock.

I ran to the bathroom and took a cold shower to shake off my sleepiness.

At 4:30, Zhou Xun, wearing a baseball cap, black clothes, and a black mask, came downstairs.

Zhou Xun had his reasons for choosing this time to come out.

Although the paparazzi worked in two shifts, they basically left after 4 a.m.

Only a very small number of those who are unwilling to give up will continue to wait.

It's not that he doesn't believe in the power of cards.

The fewer people who see it, the better.

After exiting the elevator and walking to the parking garage, Zhou Xun adjusted his hat and looked around.

I caught a glimpse of a black sedan, and there were indeed people inside.

A man in a dark jacket leaned back in the driver's seat, while a telephoto camera was mounted on the passenger seat.

Zhou Xun only glanced at it before looking away.

When Zhou Xun stepped out of the elevator, the paparazzi were looking down at their phones.

Whether it was a man's sixth sense or something else, the paparazzi suddenly looked up and glanced at the camera.

I saw Zhou Xun dressed in black, wearing black pants and a black mask.

His paparazzi instincts kicked in, and he instantly raised his camera, aimed the lens at the figure, and pressed the shutter button several times.

I looked down into the viewfinder; all I could see were concrete pillars and a white minivan, nothing else.

He looked up and saw that Zhou Xun was still there.

"Damn it..." the paparazzi muttered, rubbing his bloodshot eyes, and picked up his camera again.

This time he took seven or eight photos in a row. When he looked through the album, his fingers froze. All he could see in the viewfinder was an empty parking lot.

"A ghost, a ghost..."

The paparazzi were instantly wide awake. They could see it themselves, but the camera couldn't capture it. What else could it be but a ghost?

He threw down his camera and sped away.

Zhou Xun left the underground parking garage and headed straight for Naza's hotel.

I arrived at her room at 5 a.m., before dawn.

Naza, who was fast asleep, felt her blanket being pulled back and something crawling inside.

She was so startled that she screamed "Ah!"

Before he could speak, his lips were covered by a large hand.

"Shhh."

Zhou Xun covered his mouth with one hand and put the index finger of his other hand to his lips as a shushing gesture.

"Don't be afraid, it's me, Zhou Xun."

Hearing the familiar voice, her tense body relaxed. She playfully punched Zhou Xun's chest and scolded him:

"You scared me to death."

"I'm afraid of disturbing your sleep." Zhou Xun hugged Nazha. "It's not dawn yet, get some sleep."

Naza faced Zhou Xun, her whole body enveloped by his body heat.

"Why didn't you send a message beforehand? I really thought it was a bad guy." Naza reached out and poked his chest:

Do you know how terrifying it is to have your mouth suddenly covered when you're half asleep?

"My heart was pounding in my throat. I almost bit your hand, but thankfully I heard your voice."

"If you bite my hand, the whole crew will be asking Yang Kang what happened to his hand tomorrow."

Naza burst out laughing, buried her face in his chest, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

She took a deep breath; Zhou Xun had a very faint scent of shower gel on him.

She bought this especially for Zhou Xun; she could recognize the taste even from hundreds of kilometers away.

"Zhou Xun." Naza looked up and called his name softly.

"Hmm?" Zhou Xun looked down at her.

I really miss you!

Before Zhou Xun could speak, his lips were sealed with a kiss.

Naza reached out his hand, and Zhou Xun reached out to turn on the light, but Naza blocked his way.

"No need, I can find it."

Zhou Xun rolled over and pinned her beneath him, then turned on a dim ambient light. Looking at her flushed face, he smiled and said:

"You can find it, but I can't."

Naza ignored everything and used her two jade-like arms to pull Zhou Xun's neck down.

The sun was high in the sky when the two finally went to sleep, and when they woke up again it was already 12:30.

Zhou Xun woke up first and leaned against the bed. The crickets beside her stirred twice and wrapped their jade-like arms around her.

"Sleep a little longer," she said lazily.

"It's already 12:30," Zhou Xun said.

Naza still didn't open her eyes, her head resting on his chest:

"It's okay, I don't have any scenes to film today."

"You have no chance; I have a meeting at 2 PM."

Naza opened her eyes instantly and slid out of bed: "Then you'd better hurry up and go!"

Zhou Xun touched her and kissed Nazha.

Naza's two jade-like arms rested on his chest: "You should go back quickly."

"It's okay, we'll make it!"

Before Naza could react, Zhou Xun kissed him again.

……

The meeting started at 2:00 PM, and by 1:40 PM, people were gradually sitting down in the meeting room.

Guo Jingyu sat in the main seat, a stack of storyboards spread out in front of her, chatting with the two assistant directors next to her. Old Chen was also there, sitting in his seat idly twirling a pen.

To Meng Ziyi's left, Li Yitong was flipping through the script, making final annotations.

The seat to her right was still empty; Meng Ziyi had reserved it for Zhou Xun.

Whenever someone wanted to sit down, she would reach out to stop them, look up and smile at them, her meaning quite clear.

Meng Ziyi tapped the screen twice to check the time, then murmured, "It's almost two o'clock, why isn't he here yet?"

Li Yitong put down her pen, turned her head to look at her, and said, "From 1:30 until now, you haven't stopped for a moment. You really don't want to leave Zhou Xun's side for even a second!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Meng Ziyi's ears turned red as she put her phone in her pocket, striking a calm pose. "I'm just afraid he'll be late and get scolded by Director Guo."

"You know Director Guo's temper. Last time, an actor was five minutes late, and he made him stand at the door for ten minutes in front of the whole crew to reflect on his behavior."

"They say actors must have a sense of time."

"If you're worried he'll be late, why don't you just call him?"

Meng Ziyi opened her mouth, but was speechless at this simple question.

"Alright, stop hitting him." Li Yitong pouted. "The people are here."
