Chapter 646 The Mad Honey
……
……
Take the elevator back to your hotel room.
Gu Qingxian walked into the bathroom, where warm water cascaded down, carefully washing away the lingering smell of smoke and alcohol from the dinner party.
The entire dinner party was filled with polite greetings and small talk, and only now, having shed all the restlessness, could I finally relax a little.
in the living room,
Sister Xu had already entered the room carrying several bags.
She placed her makeup case on the coffee table and opened it. Bottles and jars were laid out in a row. She carefully washed her hands twice with wet wipes and took out a clean towel to drape over her shoulder.
She carries these things with her at all times, in order to ensure safety and cleanliness.
When Gu Qing came out after changing her clothes, her hair was still dripping wet.
Sister Xu was already standing in front of the mirror by the sink, smiling and waiting.
"Xiao Gu, the weather in the capital is so dry, and it's windy today. Hydration and antioxidants are essential, so we can't be careless."
Sister Xu picked up a bottle of essence water, shook it well, poured it into her palm to warm it up, and gently massaged Gu Qing's cheeks in circles with her fingertips.
The face in front of me is flawless, with fair and delicate skin, and clear and handsome features; it's simply a feast for the eyes.
Being able to groom Gu Qing's face every day makes her feel happy, as if she has become several years younger.
"Don't complain about the complicated process. The cameras in the entertainment industry are very strict, so you can't be lazy in any step of the skincare routine."
"Sister Xu took care of everything for me. I sat still and didn't feel any trouble at all."
Gu Qing closed her eyes slightly, her brows furrowing unconsciously.
Warm palms repeatedly rubbed and pressed against my face, and in a daze, I was suddenly transported back to my childhood.
It's like when you were a child and your elders were vigorously rubbing your face with a hot towel, leaving you feeling helpless and unable to escape.
"All right."
After pressing, Sister Xu started blow-drying her hair.
Gu Qingcai exhaled, opened his eyes, and took the phone.
Since he left the group,
Da Tiantian continued her daily nagging, starting to summon back the spirit: "Great God, when are you coming back? Great God, when are you coming back?..."
From time to time,
She would also send Gu Qing some carefully edited selfies: "I'll send you some of my selfies so you can miss me."
The words are filled with lingering unease and anxiety.
The intense competition in the entertainment industry naturally leaves most artists with a severe lack of security.
Compared to her anxiety about her career, Da Tian Tian is naturally more worried about her love life.
She truly wished she could stay by Gu Qing's side every moment, fearing that if she relaxed even slightly, he would be snatched away by other scheming female celebrities.
The thought of many female celebrities in the industry taking the initiative to get close to Gu Qing made her restless and unable to eat or sleep. She could only keep sending messages to confirm their contact.
YaYa's messaging style is completely different from that of Da Tian Tian.
She doesn't nag, doesn't act cute or charming, and doesn't post carefully edited selfies.
The content posted is very simple and regular: a photo of a boxed lunch is posted every noon and evening.
But she never takes pictures of breakfast.
Judging from the photos of the daily distribution points, Tong Liya clearly doesn't seem to have forgotten.
She knew Gu Qing would definitely notice this detail.
She was just waiting for her younger brother to ask:
"Sister Ya Ya, why didn't you have breakfast?"
She hoped that Gu Qing would remind her in a slightly reproachful yet helpless tone, "Remember to eat breakfast."
She's become childish.
Even after her divorce, Tong Liya remained the dignified, elegant, and poised actress in front of the camera.
However, after experiencing a major upheaval, adults' psychological defense mechanisms exhibit a strange regression.
In front of outsiders, she is more mature, more independent, and more invulnerable than ever before.
But in front of someone you trust, you unconsciously become even more childish than you were in your teenage years.
This is a typical sign of a lack of love.
Whether it's Da Tian Tian or Ya Ya Jie,
Gu Qing could see through their little schemes at a glance.
This kind of plot hole would probably not even last an episode in "Empresses in the Palace".
Gu Qing did not expose it.
After praising Da Tian Tian
I switched to Tong Liya's chat window, looked at the photo of the lunchbox she sent at noon today, and typed a message:
"Sister Ya Ya, you forgot breakfast again today? I'll have my assistant call you tomorrow to wake you up for breakfast."
Sent.
Gu Qing exited the chat window, and a dense barrage of red message notifications popped up at the top of the VX page, indicating that the contact had been pinned to the top.
The screen was almost completely filled with 99+ unread messages.
"What's wrong with Honey again...?"
Gu Qing's lips twitched as he clicked into the chat box, where a dense mass of text appeared before him.
"Why weren't you notified when you came to the capital? Why weren't you notified when you came to the capital?"
"Pay attention to me! Pay attention to me!!"
"Scumbag! Scumbag!!"
A torrent of yandere-like resentment burst forth from his phone screen, assaulting the viewer's senses and making them feel dizzy.
"I knew it……"
Gu Qing also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Da Mimi is a very elusive person.
usually,
She doesn't chat with Gu Qing at all, as if she's forgotten about him, and doesn't send a single message for days.
Her logic was: If you don't come to me, why should I take the initiative to contact you?
She seemed very proud, but she couldn't help but ignore Gu Qingzhen.
Therefore,
Da Mimi took a different approach.
Every time news about Gu Qing appears on the blog's trending topics, she breaks out of her "dormant state" and starts a barrage of attacks.
Even Yang Mi's personality switches between different modes depending on the trending topics.
If the trending topics are about Gu Qing's career and her love of fun.
For example, breaking box office records, endorsing new brands, ...
Then Da Mimi will switch to her funny mode.
She would send out cute emojis with sheep-like voiceovers:
"Waaaa, little brother, you're so amazing~"
"Can I hug your leg, sister?"
Her tone was so sweet it was cloying, it gave you goosebumps even through the screen.
Every time Gu Qing clicks on this voice message, she instinctively pulls her phone away and feels an urge to punch Da Mimi through the screen.
And that's already considered good.
If the trending topics involve Gu Qing and other female celebrities.
Instead, Da Mimi adopted a sharp-tongued and sarcastic demeanor, delivering sarcastic and mocking remarks in a sarcastic tone:
"Oh, my dear little brother, who is this your lovely older sister?"
"You brat, you went to the movies with Sisi?! She's my best friend!!"
"Oh? Sisi asked you to go? She asked you to go, so you went? She asked you to give in, so you gave in?!"
"Didn't give it to me? I don't believe it!!"
If we remove the obsessive personality switching, that's fine.
Da Mimi would often talk to herself in the chat box with Gu Qing.
I often chat with someone for half an hour, the content of which is indescribable.
sometimes,
Even a quick glance at her phone makes Gu Qing feel like she's being mentally polluted.
He had a complete grasp of Da Mi Mi's personality.
Like a darker version of Sawako.
Shuangzi's problem is that she lacks self-control. When she loses control of her emotions, she explodes on camera, and no one can stop her.
Da Mimi has an extra layer of socialization compared to her.
She can control herself in front of the camera and is a watertight boss in front of the media.
In private,
When no one is around, things naturally become abstract.
Essentially,
After being in the entertainment industry, a giant meat grinder, for a long time, experiencing too many complicated and heavy things, one will inevitably become a little neurotic in terms of mental health.
This is an industry-specific occupational hazard.
It's just that each artist expresses it in a different way.
Some people suffer from insomnia, some drink excessively, some are addicted to shopping, and some are keen on engaging in palace intrigue.
Da Mimi's current new way of relieving stress is to go crazy in Gu Qing's chat box.
Yang Mi's life trajectory is almost a condensed history of the survival difficulties of women in the entertainment industry.
She debuted as a child star, running endless bit parts, supporting roles, being sidelined, and suppressed—enduring grievances and gritting her teeth to climb up the ladder all by herself.
After finally making it through the tough times and gaining stable traffic and buzz, he signed a performance-based agreement with the company at the most crucial moment of his career.
How she has managed these past few years is evident to everyone, both inside and outside the industry.
Filming more than a dozen movies a year, I'm on set the moment I open my eyes and on the road the moment I close them. My body is exhausted to the limit, and my mind is stretched to the limit.
After finally making it to the top and securing her position as a leading actress, she thought her career was stable and her life was finally settled, but reality dealt her a heavy blow.
The marriage broke down because the other half cheated on him, making him a cuckold.
The female celebrity who cheated,
Whether it's looks or status in the industry, they are far inferior to her.
Yang Mi, who has been proud for half her life, has clearly suffered the biggest blow of her life.
Then,
The performance-based agreement is tightening, and the pressure to meet targets is immense.
For three whole years, this was the only day she could finally get a good night's sleep.
It was the week I filmed "Eternal Love" with Gu Qing.
The first day of filming.
Gu Qing had always treated her coldly, maintaining a faint sense of distance.
However, he proactively shortened his own filming schedule, making sure to leave some free time for the exhausted Yang Mi to rest and recuperate.
With my phone on silent, I can lie in bed without having to deal with endless announcements and disputes.
that moment,
Da Mimi's nose stung, and she lay in bed crying for a long time.
She suddenly felt like a living person again.
this matter,
Da Mimi never told Gu Qing this.
She won't say.
He was simply ungrateful and switched between various bizarre personality modes in front of Gu Qing.
Fortunately, Gu Qing didn't know what Yang Mi was thinking.
Otherwise, he would definitely regret it and might as well just outlive her to death.
A single mother who is rich, famous, good-looking, has suffered emotional trauma, and is divorced with a child is undoubtedly blessed with a ton of advantages.
Even,
Even Da Mimi herself felt that her life was over.
What kind of man can still make her heart flutter?
Honey doesn't want to date old men anymore.
She wanted a young, handsome, and strong younger brother.
A touch of youthful energy is fine, but it shouldn't be too childish or superficial in speech.
most,
She also needs to be gentle and considerate, have high emotional and intellectual intelligence, be successful in her career, earn just as much as her, and be someone she can rely on...
Final Thoughts
Da Mimi wants to find a young, handsome, successful, intelligent, and youthful dad.
Even scammers can't meet these conditions.
But who would have thought,
Gu Qing appeared so easily.
Once rationality is satisfied, emotion naturally takes over.
Da Mimi thinks she's in love.
At this moment,
If Gu Qing is a fraudster, then we can prepare a pig-butchering scam in advance.
Unfortunately he is not.
……
"Sister Honey, I'm here to work on the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals, not to play around."
Gu Qing stared at the huge pile of unread messages on her phone screen with a headache.
He felt that his judgment of Yang Mi's personality was somewhat different from that of Zheng Shuang.
Shuangzi's madness is straightforward and reckless, like an out-of-control truck rampaging recklessly.
But Yang Mi's madness is targeted and specific; she's deliberately aiming to crash into you.
If we consider Da Mi Mi as the kind of female imp who has been "marinated" in the world of anime and manga culture.
They have a vicious tongue; they're always provoking you, mocking you, and using hurtful words to insult you.
But if you really turn the tables on them, they'll just sit in a corner, bubbling with resentment.
That would make perfect sense.
She is the human being in the real world who comes closest to this description.
"You brat, I told you to come and inform me, not to mess with me. What are you thinking?"
Yang Mi spoke rudely and without hesitation, asking, "Are you afraid to see me?"
"Aren't you afraid to look at the chat history yourself?"
Gu Qing countered with a question.
Honey was lying on her living room sofa with a hydrating face mask on.
Her long, snow-white legs were casually draped over the sofa armrests, her ankles crossed, and her nails were painted a light nude pink.
Upon hearing this,
She picked up her phone and saw the message from Gu Qing. She swiped her slender finger up and started looking through the messages she had sent before.
The screen was filled with skull emojis and images of kitchen knives, along with a string of blood-red text that read "I'm going to knife you."
Da Mimi pursed her lips awkwardly, her expression under the face mask slightly embarrassed.
Okay, that is a little bit excessive.
Just a tiny bit.
"Little brother, I was just kidding with you. How could I bear to hurt you? Don't be afraid."
After posting this, Da Mimi felt it wasn't strong enough, so she rolled her eyes around.
She stretched out one of her slender legs, arched her foot, raised her phone, and took a picture from the angle that best made her legs look longer and her skin look fairer, against the natural light streaming in through the floor-to-ceiling window.
Her thighs were round and full, her calves were slender and smooth, and her skin was so white it almost glowed in natural light.
Da Mimi glanced at the finished product, smiled with satisfaction, and pressed send.
"My sister has some fun things at home, why don't you come and check them out?"
Yang Mi knows very well which part of her body is the most lethal.
Besides the upper body,
Her legs, which the media called "comic book legs," are recognized as being at the top level even among the many beautiful female celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Tall, straight, well-proportioned, slender—each of these adjectives can be applied directly without sounding exaggerated.
With this photo and that caption, she didn't believe Gu Qing could continue to be so cold.
One minute later, the message showed as read.
No reply.
She stared at the "read" message for a full minute, but still didn't reply.
The smile on Da Mimi's face gradually froze.
"Hey? Little brother? Gu Qing? You brat!!"
Her fingers began frantically tapping the screen, sending a message with each tap, the face mask wrinkling up on her forehead.
"Are you giving me the silent treatment again?!"
Da Mimi gritted her teeth, a dangerous glint in her peach blossom eyes. "Fine, fine, you wait. Once the TV series airs, let's see where you can run to!!"
At that time, they were the male and female leads.
Once the promotional period begins, the two of them will have to run around to various events together; they can run away, but they can't run away from the temple.
She refused to believe that this brat would avoid her during the promotional period!
"Xiao Gu, it's done."
Sister Xu put away the hairdryer and looked at the boy in the full-length mirror. His fluffy, soft, tousled hair was neatly arranged, his skin was fair and clean, and his features were delicate and sharp.
She looked fresh and clean, and just standing there quietly was enough to make people feel happy.
"Yes, Sister Xu, thank you for your help."
Gu Qing turned off the screen with the side key of his index finger, watched Sister Xu leave with her bags, and only breathed a sigh of relief after closing the door.
He wasn't exactly a paragon of virtue.
"Mi-jie's legs are really beautiful."
Gu Qing had no choice but to admit it.
If his career weren't so important, he would really like to go and check it out.
But Gu Qing has never wanted to get involved in flirting or playing ambiguous games with each other across a screen.
The entertainment industry is full of cautionary tales. Countless popular artists have seen their careers collapse overnight and their reputations plummet because of leaked chat logs and private photos.
Someone else sends you a message.
He can appreciate it openly.
However, I would never send ambiguous texts or private photos to create potential problems for myself.
Even when gossiping about her colleagues in private, Gu Qing never leaves a single word on WeChat.
A kind word can warm the heart for three winter months. When navigating the world of fame and fortune, one must be cautious and careful in all things in order to firmly safeguard the foundation of one's career.
After lying in bed and resting for a while,
The alarm clock rang precisely at 1:50 PM.
Gu Qing sat up in bed and raised her hand to support her forehead.
There was silence for a moment.
Young people... are just so healthy.
You can "stand up" anytime, anywhere.
This is a physiological trait that is both comforting and frustrating.
"Sister Honey is fully responsible."
Gu Qing said this in a low voice, got up and went into the bathroom, turned on the tap, and splashed a few handfuls of cold water on her face.
The cool water trickled down my chin, taking away my sleepiness.
Gu Qing wiped her face with a towel, picked up her phone, and sent a message to Chen Duling.
After he and Zhao Ya entered the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor, the elevator slowly descended.
When the numbers were halfway through, the elevator came to a smooth stop, and the doors slid open slowly.
Chen Duling stood outside the elevator door.
She wore a white down jacket and jeans, which accentuated her straight, slender legs with a delicate, bony shape.
Her delicate face was lightly powdered, making her makeup noticeably more refined compared to the morning.
"Little Ears, why are you all alone? Where's Auntie?" Gu Qing turned her head and glanced at her, asking in surprise.
"My mom... is having some trouble adjusting to the new environment and wants to sleep a little longer."
Chen Duoling stepped into the elevator and subconsciously moved closer to Gu Qing's side, but left a few centimeters of space between them, not daring to get too close, only daring to maintain a distance that was neither too far nor too close.
Actually, her mother deliberately made up an excuse, saying that she was feeling unwell due to the change in environment in the capital and wanted to rest in bed, thus giving her daughter some alone time.
The woman preferred to believe that Gu Qing had an accident first, rather than that Chen Duling would have a problem first.
"Xiaoduo, don't be nervous, relax. With the boss here, would he just sell you off like that?"
Zhao Ya smiled and pressed the floor button for the underground parking garage, making a joke.
"Stay away from Sister Xiaoya, she's really good at selling you out."
Gu Qing replied.
Upon hearing this,
Chen Duoling moved half a step closer to Gu Qing, and the sleeves of their down jackets almost touched.
The fabrics touched gently, and a subtle warmth spread through the fabric.
The elevator landed smoothly in the underground parking garage, and the three quickly got into the van.
Zhao Ya got into the passenger seat, and the driver, who had been waiting, immediately started the car and drove towards the TV station.
The car drove smoothly on the main road.
Zhao Ya glanced up at the rearview mirror and couldn't help but laugh out loud at the back seat: "Boss, Xiao Duo, there's practically an ocean separating you two."
Gu Qing leaned against the left window, while Chen Duoling huddled by the right window. The spacious back seat had a large empty area in the middle.
Chen Duling's shoulders tensed almost imperceptibly for a moment.
It's not that she didn't want to sit closer.
Instead,
Chen Duling put herself in a boy's shoes and analyzed the situation carefully.
If he's pursuing a girl and they get too close in a car, wouldn't it be awkward and offensive?
Definitely!
As for why she thinks that way?
All I can say is that science-oriented women are still putting in the effort.
"By the way, Little Ear, has your new drama aired yet?"
Gu Qing turned her head and asked.
"It's on, it's already finished airing."
Mentioning the new drama, Chen Duling's slender shoulders slumped, her already petite frame almost buried in her down jacket, "It flopped..."
"what?"
Gu Qing paused for a moment, looked at the pitiful Chen Duling, and comforted her, "Small production teams are like this, they are prone to producing shoddy work."
"But netizens commented that the costumes, makeup and props are the only good thing about our show."
Chen Duling bit her lower lip tightly with her rabbit teeth, her almond eyes dimmed, and looked at Gu Qing, making a nasal sound: "They... all say my acting is terrible."
"If a show flops, it's normal to find someone to take the blame."
"But... I acted really badly."
"..."
Gu Qing fell silent, at a loss for what to do.
"Ever since you spoke with our producer and director on the phone, they've been ecstatic and have been throwing money at us."
Chen Duling lowered her head even further, revealing only a small patch of dark hair on the top of her head inside the hood of her down jacket.
"They optimized all the costumes and props, and added a lot more scenes for me. They think our film has the potential to be a hit..."
Gu Qing's expression grew increasingly strange.
This small film crew really knows how to go all in...
"But I acted terribly."
Chen Duling's voice came from the hood of her down jacket, "Netizens say I have a wooden expression, I can't cry, I can't laugh... like a wooden person."
She looked up.
Her almond-shaped eyes were serious as she looked directly at Gu Qing: "Xu Yi, am I really like that?"
"That's true."
Gu Qing nodded. "The netizens' summary is quite accurate; I couldn't have summarized it so well."
"..."
Chen Duling's mouth was slightly open, her almond-shaped eyes glazed over as she stared at Gu Qing.
"This makes him look more like a wooden figure."
Gu Qing suppressed a laugh, "Sadness isn't something you act like."
Zhao Ya, in the passenger seat, was stunned.
No,
Why is the boss suddenly being so violent today?
If she had small ears, she would be so sad that she would cry her eyes out.
But the next second,
"Xu Yi, how do you act sad? Can you teach me?"
Chen Duling's beautiful eyes lit up. She humbly asked for advice, shifting her hips slightly to the left to get closer, looking at Gu Qing with the respect and admiration one would show a teacher.
Zhao Ya: "..."
Is that correct?
It seems she doesn't understand Chen Duling.
"Okay, I'll teach you a few tricks."
Gu Qing turned to the side, leaned against the left window, and straightened her expression. "Come on, look at me."
Chen Duling pursed her lips seriously.
"Think about your saddest thing first. Let me see how many seconds it takes you to get into character."
"it is good!"
Chen Duling nodded vigorously, beginning to gather her emotions.
Her eyes were fixed on Gu Qing, and she began to try to recall all the sad moments in her life.
But it didn't work.
Her gaze seemed to be drawn by some unseen force, moving uncontrollably from Gu Qing's facial features.
From eyebrows, eyes, bridge of nose, mouth...
Xu Yi... is really handsome.
What are you thinking about?
Gu Qing was completely confused. He could see that Chen Duling's pupils were unfocused and her gaze was drifting downwards, which made him unable to resist waving his hand in front of her.
"No...it's nothing."
Chen Duling shook her head frantically, clenched her fists, refocused her attention, stared into Gu Qing's eyes, and blushed.
Finally... I gradually found my rhythm.
Chen Duling's pupils were covered with a layer of mist, her pink lips trembled slightly, and her rabbit teeth were revealed, as if she was trying her best to squeeze out tears.
Although she was crying, there was an uncontrollable, cowardly, and harmlessly angry and ferocious feeling about her.
"Stop, I understand your problem."
Gu Qing suppressed a laugh.
"What's the problem?"
Chen Duling was delighted, believing that if one knew the problem, then one could find a solution.
"He can't act," Gu Qing said.
Chen Duling: "...?"
"Xu Yi, is this my problem?"
Chen Duling was bewildered.
"Yes, your problem is that you can't act; you're like a blank sheet of paper."
Gu Qing was afraid of being too harsh, so she spoke gently and encouraged him, "I was like that at first too. I didn't even know how to find the camera. We're not professional actors."
When it comes to acting, you can't just figure it out on your own; you have to seek guidance from professional teachers.
"Find a teacher? But I often consult with senior actors in the film crew."
Chen Duling wasn't frustrated, just puzzled.
"That's useless. Leaving aside whether they'll genuinely teach you, what you need is a systematic study of some basic acting knowledge."
"After rehearsals are over, I'll recommend my teacher to you. He specializes in teaching new idols how to act; a lesson costs about 5000 yuan."
Gu Qing decided to send Teacher Zhang.
"Only five thousand yuan? That's so cheap!"
Chen Duling was overjoyed.
For small-time artists like them who come from family workshops, the biggest fear is not having no money, but that even if they spend money, they can't find people with real skills.
There are too many people in this industry who use the title of "performance coach" to swindle and deceive others.
They charge you tens of thousands of yuan, teach you a bunch of useless things, and in the end, you still don't know anything when you're on camera.
Chen Duling naturally trusted the teacher Gu Qing introduced to her completely.
Now that I've found a way to improve my acting skills, the frustration that had been weighing on my mind for so long instantly vanished. If I lack talent, I'll make up for it with twice the amount of hard work.
Her professionalism and dedication have earned her recognition and praise from numerous production crews.
He gradually built his popularity in Hengdian by playing numerous supporting roles, filling in for others, and taking on roles that no one else wanted.
The worries that had been weighing on my mind have finally been relieved.
Chen Duling couldn't help but start talking to Gu Qing about League of Legends again.
"Version update, this hero buffed, that hero nerfed, I found a really strong bot lane duo..."
"This tactic is really effective; we can try it out sometime."
"We don't need any tricks, we can just rely on our strength to fight our way through, right?"
"Oh yeah..."
Zhao Ya, sitting in the passenger seat, looked through the rearview mirror at the two chatting happily and questioned the meaning of life.
Is this really a topic a man and a woman should be discussing?
After a fun-filled chat and games session, the car stopped in front of a television station.
Security checks at the entrance were strict, with staff wearing uniforms, name tags around their necks, and serious expressions.
Several cars that transport celebrities were lined up at the entrance, and each car had to undergo careful identity verification before it could drive in.
Gu Qing led Chen Duling into the studio, through the long corridor, and to the main stage for the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal.
Director Lü was standing below the stage, shouting instructions to the group of artists rehearsing on stage.
After working late into the night for several days to meet deadlines, he developed large, burning blisters around his mouth, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely haggard.
Seeing Gu Qing arrive ahead of time, Director Lü breathed a long sigh of relief and quickly waved his hand, shouting at the top of his lungs:
"Little Gu, you've finally arrived! Take your girlfriend backstage to change into her performance outfit first, then go on stage for the rehearsal!"
"Let's go, let's change our clothes first."
Gu Qing turned her head and lowered her voice to speak to Chen Duling beside her.
Chen Duling stood rooted to the spot, as if frozen in place by Director Lü's words about his "little girlfriend".
"Let Director Lü say whatever he wants."
Gu Qing turned her head and whispered, "Let's not bother explaining. Let the misunderstanding remain."
Not only would others think that way, but even I... can't find a suitable reason to refute it.
"!!!"
Chen Duling's almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened.
