Chapter 4 Intercepting
When Xu Lang and his two companions arrived at the hotel, Liu Yuxin pulled at the front desk, saying that her husband was in the hotel.
However, the receptionist said they would not disclose the guest's information, so Liu Yuxin took out her marriage certificate and threw it in front of her.
The front desk called the manager, and after checking the hotel system, they found no registration information for Liu Yuxin's husband.
"Follow me!"
Xu Lang suddenly spoke, grabbed Liu Yuxin with one hand, and naturally took Mao Xiaotong's hand with the other, and headed straight for the elevator.
The two girls were taken aback when he pulled them, but inexplicably followed him.
Enter the elevator and go straight to the 8th floor.
We arrived at a room!
"It should be here!"
Mao Xiaotong and Liu Yuxin were somewhat puzzled as to why he was so certain.
But I don't have time to worry about that now.
Liu Yuxin almost lost her mind and was about to bang on the door, but Xu Lang stopped her and gently knocked on the door.
Who is it?
An impatient male voice came from inside.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuxin became even more agitated, almost shouting out loud, and Mao Xiaotong was nearly the same.
Xu Lang quickly covered their mouths and made a shushing gesture, waiting for them to calm down a bit.
Turn around and face the door:
"Sir, hotel service!"
Click!
The door opened!
When the door opened a crack, Liu Yuxin pushed it open with both hands and rushed in like a cow, knocking her husband to the ground.
He was initially furious, but the moment he saw who it was, his face turned pale and he panicked.
What followed was the girl's panicked screams, followed by a series of agonizing screams.
Xu Lang strolled in and saw Liu Yuxin and Mao Xiaotong joining forces to tear apart the mistress.
The mistress was wearing a bathrobe, which was ripped off, pulled, slapped... she screamed in pain.
To Xu Lang's surprise, the mistress was not the one who had caused such a stir on Weibo in his previous life.
Liu Yuxin's husband tried to protect his mistress, but was beaten up by two women. Ultimately, the strength of a girl is no match for that of a man.
They stood up for him and protected his mistress, even slapping Liu Yuxin in the face.
Xu Lang darted forward, stopping him from slapping him again, grabbed his wrist, and pulled sharply:
"You beat up your own wife for your mistress, what kind of man are you...?"
Snapped!
Mao Xiaotong slapped Liu Yuxin's husband across the face, and was even a little dazed afterward.
"That... scumbag! How is my best friend any less attractive than this vixen? He deserves a beating!"
Liu Yuxin launched another fierce attack on the mistress, who picked up a bathrobe, wrapped it around herself, and hurriedly ran out.
"Incomprehensible..."
Liu Yuxin's husband glared fiercely at the three of them and walked out of the hotel.
Liu Yuxin stood there blankly for a few seconds, then suddenly frantically rummaged through the trash can—two torn Durex packages stung her eyes.
She collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.
Mao Xiaotong comforted her from the side.
Xu Lang waited quietly to the side, keeping an eye on the time. About ten minutes later:
"Teacher Mao, let's hurry back to the film set!"
Although Mao Xiaotong was worried about her best friend, filming was the priority, so she comforted her a few more times and left with Xu Lang.
But she kept puffing out her cheeks the whole way, muttering curses at the scumbag.
Suddenly a question occurred to him, and he turned to look at Xu Lang:
"How...how did you know which room it was?"
Xu Lang smiled slightly. He couldn't very well say that he had seen him come out of this room in his previous life.
"I live next door, and I saw him last night!"
"You..." Mao Xiaotong was a little surprised: "Why are you living here?"
Xu Lang said casually, "I was just thinking that since this place is close to Hengdian, I might run into some big director and find a chance to play a corpse. I have a lot of experience playing corpses; I know 99 ways to die..."
"Pfft—" Mao Xiaotong was amused by his exaggerated expression, and her originally heavy mood eased a bit.
She didn't delve any further, and instead asked:
"By the way, how did you get the role of Yelü Qi?"
The replacement actor was likely someone with connections.
As a newcomer actor, if the other party is indeed someone with powerful connections, then I should definitely get to know them better.
Most importantly, he's handsome and very supportive of me.
Unlike Chen Xiang, who not only refused to come with me to catch the adulterer, but also obstructed me in various ways, it made me very unhappy.
Or is someone who is pursuing themselves...
Deduct points, deduct points, deduct points like crazy—down to negative points!
"I bought it for five yuan..."
The two chatted and laughed, like longtime friends.
Mao Xiaotong found Xu Lang's speech very funny and humorous; he could always find a tricky angle to make her laugh.
The two returned to the film set!
Xu Lang noticed Chen Xiang's sinister gaze, which also held a hint of smugness, and clenched his fists.
Xu Lang and Mao Xiaotong completely ignored him.
He leaned closer, forcing a smile as he faced Mao Xiaotong, and even tried to get her to stay away from Xu Lang.
As a result, Mao Xiaotong directly pulled Xu Lang aside to rehearse, telling him to leave; he could only leave, seething with anger.
Perhaps because of the incident of catching the adulterer in the act, the two of them had a better understanding of each other when rehearsing their lines.
Mao Xiaotong, who had previously hesitated, was able to speak fluently and expressively, perfectly capturing the essence of the scene.
Not long after!
Mao Xiaotong's assistant ran over with a strange look in her eyes and told the two of them to hurry up and get their makeup done.
Upon arriving at the dressing room, the two separated.
Mao Xiaotong noticed something was wrong with her assistant and asked:
"Just say what you have to say. Aren't you uncomfortable keeping it to yourself?"
The assistant stammered, "Sister Xiaotong, did you just catch someone cheating?"
She believes this is her dereliction of duty; her assistant failed in her job, allowing her artist to catch someone cheating, which is extremely risky.
She only needed to go to the toilet for a short while, and that damn pee... she should have just held it in.
Mao Xiaotong noticed her worry and comforted her:
"I didn't delay the filming, so it's okay, don't worry."
The assistant lowered his voice: "Chen Xiang complained to the director and producer about this, and I got a scolding. If filming wasn't about to start, they would have replaced me..."
"By the way, that guy who went with you... he's really handsome, several directors are quite unhappy with him, he'll probably have to leave this afternoon..."
Mao Xiaotong's heart sank!
Xu Lang got involved in this to help her, and if he gets fired from the production team because of it...
She bit her lip, all the last bit of goodwill she had for Chen Xiang vanished.
The suitors who were originally in the evaluation period have now been completely blacklisted in her mind.
……
Xu Lang was unaware of this matter; he only received a short message from Yu Zheng:
"Come find me as soon as this scene is finished!"
He quickly replied, "Okay, Teacher Yu!"
Makeup done, costumes on!
Wearing a moon-white robe and a belt with silver embroidery, her long hair was tied up with a jade crown. Her features were clear and bright, and her every move exuded both the heroic spirit of a Mongolian nobleman and the refined elegance of a scholar from the Central Plains.
The makeup team, props team, and other staff were all stunned.
"My God...this outfit is amazing!"
The girl next to him stared at him, completely mesmerized.
"Hey sis, wipe your drool!" The makeup artist nudged the girl next to her with her elbow.
The girl smiled, her heart pounding, and wiped her mouth.
"He's so handsome, what's his name?"
"Xu Lang, I think that's his name, he plays Yelü Qi!" The makeup artist glanced back at her and said.
"Xiaoxue, you're not an adult yet. Stop being a fangirl and focus on honing your acting skills."
Zhang Yingxue stuck out her tongue haughtily, her gaze never leaving Xu Lang:
"I'll be an adult next year, so I need to get their contact information first, hehe!"
In the drama, she plays Guo Xiang, who has little interaction with Yelü Qi; but in reality, she wants to have some interaction with him.
After all, who can stop a young girl's desire for a handsome guy!
Just then!
A stagehand ran in, glanced at Xu Lang, his eyes lighting up, but quickly returned to normal:
"Yelü Qi, hurry, it's almost your turn!"
As Xu Lang put on his costume, that familiar feeling returned, and he noticed the many gazes directed his way.
He was used to it, and started walking forward:
"They're here!"
What followed was the start of their acting showdown—
