Xiao Jiashu has been abroad for ten years, and his living habits and way of thinking have been more or less affected. He always believes that a person must work hard for what they want. Though the result is important and the process is all the more significant. In order to obtain the role of a robot, he decided to go to Ji Ge every day so that he could not ignore his existence.
In order to better fit the characterâs image, he also deliberately changed his hairstyle and clothing. He used to wear anything that was as comfortable as possible, but now he wore stylish formal clothes. His naturally drooping hair was combed back with gel cream, revealing a smooth forehead and deep three-dimensional facial features. He also applies a mask before going to bed and gets up early to maintain skin elasticity and moisture.
Seeing her sonâs new look, Xue Miao almost couldnât recognize him. While helping him serve porridge, she tried asking, âWhat, is my Xiao Shumiao dating?â
âNo, I want to take on a new role, and Iâm getting ready for it.â Xiao Jiashu stroked his sideburns and explained, âItâs a role in the third part ofăThe Zerg Warsă, he was once the most powerful intelligent robot on Earth, with a perfect appearance. I havenât gotten the script yet, so Iâm trying to get as close as possible to the characterâs image to leave a good impression on Ji Ge.â
Xue Miao immediately laughed and reminisced, âThatâs the way to do it. When I wanted to play the male lead inăLast Hurrah for Chivalry1ă, Su Jie said it was difficult and told me not to dream about it. I was not deterred and went directly to the audition wearing menâs clothing. It just so happened that the audition segment arranged by director Guo didnât involve lines. My acting skills surpassed all the other male actors. He chose me on the spot, later he only realized when I opened my mouth to speak, but in the end he did not brush me off. People cannot be without ambitions. If you have a goal, fight for it and even when you lose, you can still be worthy of yourself.â
âWell, Iâll try,â Xiao Jiashu dodged his motherâs hand and muttered, âDonât mess up my hair, I did it for half an hour this morning.â
âOkay, okay, okay, I wonât touch it, good luck with your new play.â Xue Miao looked at her son who had bent his head and drank his porridge, and her heart surged with endless pride.
Xiao Jiashu came to the company half an hour early, but instead of going upstairs, he sat and chatted with the young lady at the front desk, and when Ji Mian arrived, he pretended to meet him by chance and walked towards the elevator.
âGood morning Ji Ge.â He greeted him with a reserved smile and a cool look that was quite different from his usual leisurely style.
âMorning.â Ji Mian nodded slightly.
They stepped into the elevator. Xiao Jiashu stood behind Ji Mian and didnât press for a floor. Anyway, he would go wherever Ji Ge went. He didnât dare to say too many words of self recommendation to annoy Ji Ge, but he could walk around under his nose every day so that when he thinks of the role, the first person he would think of is himself.
Well, Xiao Shumao, you are very clever! He silently gave himself praise in his heart, but didnât find Ji Mian glancing at him through the elevator door with a smile.
The elevator climbed slowly, Xiao Jiashu looked at the back of Ji Geâs head, and looked at himself in the mirror for a while, always feeling that there was nowhere to go but he didnât dare to talk to him at will, he could only call out in his heart: Ji Ge look at me, look at me, look at me!
Ji Mian suddenly looked back at him, his eyes stayed on his pink lips for a few seconds, and then raised an eyebrow.
Xiao Jiashu was taken aback, but was secretly happy that Ji Ge had discovered his new appearance, and couldnât help but raise one eyebrow as well. En, robots must be aloof, wicked, but donât talk nonsense too.
Ji Mian pursed his lips and turned his head away.
The elevator continued to go up, Xiao Jiashu couldnât hold it anymore, and called out in his heart: Ji Ge pick me, pick me, you must pick me!
Ji Mian hung his head and coughed, then he stepped back and stood side by side with him. His eyes swept over his round and full lips. At this moment, they arrived at the 26th floor. Ji Mian walked out first, and employees greeted him along the way. Xiao Jiashu followed him like a small tail, nodding in response to the crowd and shouting in his heart: Daddy2 Ji, give me a chance? Daddy Ji, you wonât regret choosing me! Daddy JiâŠ
He was screaming in his heart, when Ji Mian suddenly looked back at him and said in a hoarse voice, âXiao Jiashu, what have you been following me for? Donât you have to go to class today?â
âJi Ge, did you see the picture I sent you yesterday?â Xiao Jiashu subconsciously straightened his back. It was clear that he was extremely eager in his heart, but his expression was very high and cold.
âSaw le3.â Ji Mian suddenly wants to tease him with ust these two words to see if he can stifle him.
Xiao Jiashu was really flustered, but he didnât dare say anything more because of the persona he was playing. He braced himself and said, âOh, then Iâll go to class first.â Not long after he had gone out, he couldnât help but turn his head and say sincerely, âJi Ge, I hope you can think about me.â
âI will. âJi Mian waved his hand, Xiao Jiashu could only dawdle away, biting his handkerchief in his heart while walking, and whimpering intermittently. Ji Ge is so cruel, canât you say a few more words? If I donât meet your requirements, you can tell me. If you point out any places that are not good, I will definitely change them⊠By the way, do you dislike that I have meat on my waist? Itâs not fat, itâs lack of exercise, so itâs fluffy, reallyâŠ
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, his straight back hunched down. Ji Mian stood at the end of the corridor and watched him, waited until he disappeared around the corner before entering the office, covered his face with his hands and then laughed silently.
Xiao Jiashu listlessly came to his exclusive lounge and saw Huang Meixuan holding an album. âYouâre here?â She raised the album. âSimon worked overnight to help you make the album. What do you want to do with it?â
âOf course itâs for Ji Ge.â Xiao Jiashu was overjoyed, took the album and looked at it, nodded, âGreat shots, I wanted this kind of futuristic feeling. Quickly send it to Ji Ge.â
Huang Meixuan held her forehead and groaned, âIâm telling you Xiaoshu, arenât you too eager? Ji Mian isnât a good talker, letâs take a look at the situation first.â
âWerenât you the one who told me to work hard for it? My favorite sci-fi film isăThe Zerg Warsă, and it would be an honor for me to be a part of it.â
âNo, Iâm afraid youâll antagonize Ji Mian by pushing too hard.â
âI wonât push too hard. Iâll just send a photo album to Ji Ge, and promise not to stalk him. It would be an honor if he chooses me, if he doesnât itâs simply because Iâm not good enough and I can improve it later but right now I have to strive for what I want and not just wait for a pie to fall from the sky.â Xiao Jiashu stared eagerly at Huang Meixuan, who was unable to do anything but run downstairs to give him the photo album.
Fang Kun walked into the office holding a thick pile of photo albums and quipped, âJi Ge, come and turn over your green card4, dozens more were delivered today.â
Ji Mian turned his phone off and muted it, but the screen lit up every now and then, all reaching out to him for roles. He picked up one of the albums on top, and the more he looked at it, the more his brow furrowed.
âWhat are these? Havenât you gone through them beforehand?â He threw the photo album on the table, his face turned a little green. Fang Kun glanced at it, then burst out laughing. Ji Mian has never disclosed his sexuality, but for some reason, the male artist who sent the photo album actually took a few semi-nude photos of him wearing thongs, with ambiguous expressions. Is this seduction?
âThe abdominal muscles are well trained.â He craned his neck to look at it, and praised it sincerely.
But somehow, Ji Mian suddenly remembered Xiao Jiashuâs soft belly and small waist, and suddenly groaned. Itâs over, that kid is poisonous!
Coincidentally, Huang Meixuan knocked on the door and came in with an album in her hand. âJi Ge,â although she was several years older than Ji Mian, according to her qualifications, she had to respectfully call him brother, âthis is Xiaoshuâs album, you can take it for reference. His appearance should be very suitable for the role you selected. â
âPut it down, Iâll check it out when I have time.â Ji Mianâs fingers twitched subconsciously.
Huang Meixuan put down the photo album and excused herself, did not say anything unnecessary. Fang Kun laughed cheekily, âMaybe itâs a nude photo too, let me take a look.â Ji Mian grabbed the photo album as soon as he reached out. He flipped to the first page and froze, his eyes glazed over, seemingly very shocked.
Fang Kun walked behind him, his disbelieving expression was instantly replaced by amazement.
This is a full-body photo. Xiao Jiashu, wearing a pure white military uniform, stands in the endless universe. The sky full of stars was stepped on by him, and he stands upright, holding a saber tightly in his slender hands, standing vertically in front of him, the sharp blade divides his face in two, but it accentuated his perfection even more.
A scientist once said â symmetry is the ultimate measure of beauty. Xiao Jiashuâs face has reached the ultimate beauty standard, his soaring sword eyebrows, deep eyes, seemingly curved lips, are all symmetrical and flawless. Usually he likes to laugh, and is very expressive, so it does not give people a sense of distance, but when he really calms down, the aggressiveness of his face will be revealed.
Fang Kun subconsciously held his breath, while Ji Mian kept staring at the photo and did not turn the page for a long time. After about two minutes, he sighed and said, âIf someone else sends a photo album, just refuse it.â
âJi Ge youâve chosen? No need to look again?â Fang Kun said hesitantly.
âNo need to look any further, itâs him.â Ji Mian began to flip over the pages again, and his eyes unconsciously became very deep.
Xiao Jiashu waited nervously all morning and took out his mobile phone every few minutes for fear of missing Ji Geâs call but the mobile phone never moved. He had to go downstairs to eat dejectedly. As soon as he stepped into the elevator, he saw Ji Ge looking at him with a smile, holding a document in his hand, âTake a look first. If you are dissatisfied, we will talk about it. If needed, you can make an appointment with your lawyer. â
âWhat?â Xiao Jiashu didnât realize that his voice was shaking. He took the document and looked through it, then he was stunned. There was a line of bold words written at the head of the row â the Actor Employment contract of the filmăZerg Wars III: Return to Earthă
Really? He covered his forehead and suddenly felt dizzy.
