The words “senior brother” immediately let Luo Yu know who the other was.

There was only one person who would call him that.

His voice was deeper than usual. Through the phone, it was intangible and elusive, like a thin layer of frost covering the quiet river surface.

But the tone was incredibly soft.

“Not yet, I’m reading the script.” Luo Yu tried his best to sound calm and normal.

“Want to read it together? The plot and lines of the new script between you and me are quite different from the previous one.”

Luo Yu immediately understood what Gu Xiaowei meant.

Tomorrow they would film according to the revised script, but their understanding of the lines and the way they perform were still based on the original script.

The best way to get into the scene was for the two people to practice against each other in advance.

“Okay. Where should we meet?” Luo Yu stood up and picked up his coat.

Most likely, it was at Gu Xiaowei’s place.

“Is your room okay?” Gu Xiaowei asked.

Luo Yu was stunned, “My… my room?”

Gu Xiaowei, the male lead, going to the room of an eighteenth-tier supporting actor to practice lines with?

But the next second, Luo Yu understood why Gu Xiaowei suggested this. If he went to Gu Xiaowei’s place late at night and was photographed by someone with bad intentions who then went online to say things like Luo Yu wanted to hug Gu Xiaowei’s thigh and harass Gu Xiaowei late at night.

“Okay, okay, if you don’t mind me having a roommate.”

“I don’t mind.”

“Okay, I’ll send you the room number.”

“I’m right outside your door.”

Luo Yu was surprised at first, and then smiled helplessly.

The first time he collaborated with Gu Xiaowei in his previous life was not a TV drama or movie, but a stage play.

At that time, Luo Yu was already a famous stage actor, but Gu Xiaowei returned to the drama stage for the first time after graduating from film school. Gu Xiaowei was obsessed with acting and could practice on the stage all night long. Even Luo Yu, who played opposite him, couldn’t stand it. But whenever Gu Xiaowei said “Senior Brother, please accompany me to practice this again” and “Senior Brother, I don’t think I handled this line well”, Luo Yu wouldn’t be able to refuse and ended up practicing with him until he was satisfied.

It seemed that tonight, Gu Xiaowei’s drama addiction was making an appearance again, and he regretted not buying some coffee.

“It’s already past ten o’clock, who is it?” Fang Qin asked curiously.

“Gu Xiaowei.” After Luo Yu finished speaking, he stepped on his slippers and went over to open the door.

Gu Xiaowei wore a dark long windbreaker, holding a script in one hand and a mobile phone in the other.

As soon as Fang Qin heard the name and saw Gu Xiaowei walking in from the door, he almost fell off his bed.

“Gu… Gu Xiaowei… what’s going on?”

Gu Xiaowei walked up to Fang Qin, nodded slightly and said, “Sorry to bother you tonight. Are you Fang Qin?”

Fang Qin didn’t expect that his name would be remembered by an first-tier actor like Gu Xiaowei, and he was so flattered that he was speechless.

After a long time, he nodded vigorously.

“It’s like this. Luo Yu and I have to discuss tomorrow’s scene tonight, and we’re afraid it might disturb your rest. If you don’t mind, you can go to my room to rest for the night. Do you think that’s okay?”

When Luo Yu heard this, he realized that Gu Xiaowei had come prepared!

“I… of course don’t mind… I’ll… make… make room for you right away!”

Fang Qin hurriedly got off the bed, spread out the quilt, and arranged it so that there was no wrinkle at all. Then he packed up all his clutter so quickly that even Luo Yu was surprised.

“You guys take your time… I’m leaving…”

Fang Qin made an encouraging gesture towards Luo Yu, then closed the door and went out without looking back.

This room was small to begin with, and the space between Luo Yu and Fang Qin’s beds was just enough for the two of them to walk through.

Gu Xiaowei sat on Fang Qin’s bed. He was tall and had long legs, and his knees directly touched Luo Yu’s bed.

Luo Yu, who was standing by the bedside table, suddenly felt like he was being squeezed into a corner by the other man.

Looking at Luo Yu, who was standing motionless, Gu Xiaowei said, “Is it because my visit is too sudden, or is Senior Brother afraid of me.”

“Afraid of you, why should I be afraid of you?” Luo Yu smiled and sat down diagonally opposite Gu Xiaowei in a calm manner.

He was sure that he was not afraid of Gu Xiaowei, but his heart was beating very fast.

There was a frosty scent in the air, like rime in the deep forest. It was not the smell of his and Fang Qin’s shampoo or shower gel, but more like… the smell of aftershave, with a hint of a man’s carefully restrained… possessiveness.

Luo Yu took the script from the bedside and looked at Gu Xiaowei calmly as he opened it.

His hair was fluffy and neat, and he still had a light ocean fragrance, which should be the smell of men’s shower gel. Under the black windbreaker was a light gray thin sweater and casual pants that showed off his long legs. It felt like he had sorted himself out before visiting Luo Yu.

This was one of Gu Xiaowei’s fine qualities and also his respect for the other person.

“Originally, I thought it was a bit of a loss that Bai Ying died on a busy street, like nothing but rags and garbage.” Luo Yu said lowly.

He did not expect that Gu Xiaowei would follow up with: “And until the day he died, he had no interaction with Yan Ye, and it ended without even a final confrontation. It’s a pity, right?”

Gu Xiaowei raised his eyes to look at Luo Yu.

Those eyes were described by countless people with the phrase “flowers grow out of dead wood.” Luo Yu always thought this was due to his acting skills, but now it seemed that there was also an innate beauty.

Luo Yu thought in his heart that he shouldn’t look any more, he must concentrate back on the script quickly, otherwise Gu Xiaowei might be unhappy if he found out that he wasn’t paying attention.

“Okay, I think we need to discuss from here——Yan Ye learned that Ah Lan wanted to plot against Bai Ying, so he went to Bai Ying in advance. But he couldn’t rush into Bai Ying’s office, otherwise Ah Lan would see it.”

“So Yan Ye took advantage of Bai Ying going to buy flowers and preparing to visit his mother’s grave. Bai Ying is in the flower shop, when suddenly his mouth is covered by Yan Ye who was hiding inside. According to Bai Ying’s character, he would respond violently against Yan Ye, and this commotion would attract his subordinates. So there must be eye contact or some hint, causing Bai Ying to listen quietly to Yan Ye’s warning.” Gu Xiaowei said.

Luo Yu stood up, pointed to his bed and said, “Suppose these are the flowers in the flower shop. I am bending down to choose flowers…”

Gu Xiaowei put down the script and approached Luo Yu from the side, “And I suddenly appeared.”

He stretched out his hand, covered Luo Yu’s mouth suddenly, and pulled Luo Yu aside with a huge force.

At that moment, Luo Yu was a little dazed——what should Bai Ying’s reaction be at this time?

Luo Yu remembered the small dagger that Bai Ying carried with him every day, and made a fierce movement to take the dagger from his pocket, and stab it into Gu Xiaowei’s abdomen.

But Gu Xiaowei was prepared and grabbed Luo Yu’s wrist with one hand, quickly twisted it, and pressed Luo Yu down with the strength of his body.

“Wu…” Luo Yu fell onto Fang Qin’s bed opposite him, his face was pressed against the edge, and he was half-kneeling in front of it.

His hair spread out and fell around his neck. Gu Xiaowei’s hand still firmly covered Luo Yu’s mouth and chin, while his other hand propped himself up in front of Luo Yu. Luo Yu was completely enveloped by him.

“Ah Lan is going to kill you on Yemingxing Street tonight.”

Gu Xiaowei’s voice was very low, and Luo Yu’s brain buzzed with his voice. When he spoke, the air vibrated past Luo Yu’s ears. Luo Yu felt that he was not Yan Ye’s boss, but Gu Xiaowei’s prey.

Luo Yu made two “wu” sounds and raised his hand to pat the edge of the bed.

Gu Xiaowei immediately let go of him, grabbed his shoulders and helped him up.

“I’m sorry, I seemed to have used too much force.”

Luo Yu picked up the rubber band from the bed and tied his hair back, “It’s okay, it’s okay! I think Yan Ye’s sudden attack was not wrong, but Bai Ying’s character does not allow him to be controlled or suppressed.”

“Did my Yan Ye use too much force just now?” Gu Xiaowei lowered his eyes and seemed to be thinking about how to hold back his strength.

“No, no, no, Yan Ye is originally an aggressive… No, he should be a wild character. Deep down in his heart, he does not feel inferior to Bai Ying, his boss. It was my reaction that was not strong enough to match your performance.”

Luo Yu put his hand on his lower lip, frowned in thought, then turned to Gu Xiaowei and said, “Let’s try it again.”

Gu Xiaowei nodded and stepped back some distance.

Was this aerobics practice? One, two, three, four again?

Luo Yu burst into tears in his heart, and the area where his wrist had been twisted was still a little numb.

Take a deep breath and let yourself get into the act again.

Luo Yu lowered his head and pretended to pick flowers. Gu Xiaowei quickly appeared from the corner. He raised his hand and stretched out towards Luo Yu, his shadow passing in front of him. Luo Yu suddenly straightened up. Just as Gu Xiaowei’s hand touched Luo Yu’s cheek Luo Yu had already made a move to put the dagger against the side of Gu Xiaowei’s neck.

At that moment, Luo Yu’s eyes collided with Gu Xiaowei’s eyes, like the sharpest barbs of a rose, so dangerous that if Gu Xiaowei moved even a little, his blood vessels would burst in front of them.

And the more dangerous it was, the more a certain desire was aroused.

“Boss,” a slight smile appeared on Gu Xiaowei’s lips, like an invisible force entwining the sharp thorns of a rose, “Ah Lan is going to kill you on Yemingxing Street tonight.”

Luo Yu did not put down the dagger, but looked at Gu Xiaowei coldly, “Then what do you want?”

Gu Xiaowei’s lips curved and he replied: “I want to rise up the ranks.”

Luo Yu let out a dog chuckle, put the dagger back into his pocket, and continued to choose flowers, “You will accompany me to the cemetery later.”

A tacit understanding between the two was reached.

Luo Yu exhaled, sat back on his bed, and continued to read the script.

Although calm on the surface, he was nervous inside.

Damn it, forget about Gu Xiaowei ten years later. With his current cultivation level, he was still almost suppressed by this younger Gu Xiaowei.

And Gu Xiaowei also sat opposite, looking at Luo Yu.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

He still remembered the way Luo Yu was kneeling in front of him because of the sudden attack——his hair was scattered on the back of his neck, and his whole back was tense and ready to overthrow his control at any time. Here was no need to borrow anyone’s light, this person was born shining bright.

“Senior Brother, your script is upside down.” Gu Xiaowei suddenly said.
