Chapter 3 The Straight Man is Stubborn

Chapter 3 The stubbornness of straight men

Looking at the sudden options, Jiang Li didn't hesitate at all, so of course he chose four.

It's impossible to lick. You can only make ends meet by working as a part-time worker with extra money~

He immediately looked embarrassed: "You know I'm very busy with classes this semester, and I want to apply for a scholarship. I'm afraid..."

"There are bonuses for the top three, I can give them all to you."

"It's too outrageous for you to say that!" Jiang Li's eyes widened and he said sadly, as if the word "bonus" deeply insulted his personality, and then he asked righteously: "That kind of person am I?"

Jun Cixue didn't pay attention to the other party's exaggerated performance: "In addition, I will pay you for shooting on weekdays, and you will have free food and drink."

"Senior sister is really good at judging people~" Jiang Li immediately gave a thumbs up.

[Intelligence +1]

To be honest, Master Jiang has always hated the corruption of money. But he could only choose four. In the spirit of "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell," Jiang Li felt it was necessary to use this to test the cadres.

After receiving a positive reply, Jun Cixue was in a slightly better mood, and even her cold eyebrows were slightly dizzy, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised: "We can start after the club's recruitment is over."

She would laugh, which was inconsistent with the rumors, but they didn't know it.

Jiang Li still thinks that the senior looks the best in this way, her smile is not charming, and she is not as unapproachable as usual.

He asked: "What type of video are you going to make?"

"Maybe... love?"

"..."

Jiang Li fell silent. He blinked his eyes with a serious tone of sadness: "Do you think I understand this subject? Or do you?"

Jun Cixue shook her head slowly and firmly.

Jiang Li felt even more sad.

How dare they, two single dogs who have been single for ten thousand years, to shoot a love-themed video?! Just because they have been eating dog food for decades?!

"I have a suggestion. I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Then don't talk about it."

"???"

Jiang Li insisted on speaking: "I suggest changing the subject and filming this one that will definitely hit the street. Young people today just want to lie down and not fall in love. Since you are participating in the competition, you must fight for the first place!"

He was afraid that during the filming, the system would suddenly pop up the options, and the perfect pink love style would instantly change to a straight man trying to flirt with a soft girl.

Huh? Why does it feel like it’s more selling point...a bubble teapot! Jun Cixue will definitely kill him!

Miss Jun is a person who pursues perfection. If he dares to have a seizure and disrupt the shooting plan. Jiang Li can imagine that at the wedding banquet, the girl threw a cup as a sign of honor, and the bodyguards of the Jun family swarmed him, chopped him up and sent him to the river to feed the fish.

"It always feels like you are thinking about something very rude."

Jun Cixue narrowed her calm eyes and stared at Jiang Li closely.

"No, not really." Jiang Li objected, and said: "Although I know that my face is more than enough to be the male protagonist in an idol love drama, but I really have that domineering yet gentle, evil and arrogant temperament.

I can’t act!”

"Then what can you act?"

"Play...play a corpse?" Jiang Li asked cautiously.

"Ah."

Jun Cixue sneered, her eyes cold.

Jiang Li let out a long sigh. It turned out that it was not that easy to get the money from the secret capitalists. He had no choice but to spread his hands and said, "First of all, I will not be responsible for any accidents during the filming. You can't blame me if the expected results are not achieved."

"no problem."

Jun Cixue nodded, looked at the sky again, and stood up with the book: "We'll talk about the details next week."

"You really don't want to consider changing your genre? How about a day in the life of a salted fish? I'm the best at this kind of role..."

Master Jiang is still struggling, but Jun Cixue is going home.

The days in autumn are short, and evening comes a little earlier than before.

The warm sunshine outside the window has changed color, the sea of ​​clouds is orange-red, and the shadows of the tables and chairs on the window frames are stretched very long.

The bells of the school bell tower also sounded long and loud, startling a flock of birds and disappearing into the shadows.

For a moment, Jun Cixue felt like she was back in high school.

The young man's dejected figure was reflected in her calm eyes, complementing the setting sun. On that afternoon when she rejected him, she really felt that the young man had stepped out of a cartoon.

Her prominent family background gave her an enviable life, but also gave her unlimited pressure and responsibilities. At this point, her time was rushing and her steps never stopped. But she had to leave something behind in her best years and do what she wanted to do.

So, instead of saying that I want to shoot a love story, it’s better to say——

"youth."

Jun Cixue's lips moved slightly. What she wanted to photograph was always the youth that should belong to her.

"What?"

Jiang Li didn't hear clearly.

"I said, goodbye."

The girl's ears were flushed red by the sunset, and her expression was extremely dull. She waved her hand and walked out of the classroom. Her back was still cold, but her footsteps were empty.

Jiang Li waved in return and said in surprise: "Goodbye?"

He looked like he had seen a ghost. When would Jun Cixue say goodbye politely?

And watching the girl's back disappear behind the door, Jiang Li suddenly realized - he seemed to have forgotten to ask who the heroine was?

Jun Cixue herself? Unlikely...

With her cold and paralyzed face throughout, she has no acting skills. If he were the director, even if it was an unspoken rule, he would not use her.

What? She is a director, investor and producer, so that’s okay.

Jiang Li held his chin, watching the setting sun dip below the horizon, and thinking about what he should eat tonight.

It wasn't until the classmates downstairs chatting and laughing outside the window as they walked toward the school gate that he suddenly realized that today was Friday, and Xiao Rong'er was supposed to go home, and last week she said she was going to pick her up during the weekend.

Jiang Li immediately looked at the time, his expression no longer calm for a moment. Several red missed calls on the screen were like reminders, deeply hurting Master Jiang's eyes.

Damn it! Forget about this!

He took a deep breath and clicked the call back with trembling fingers. The call was quickly connected.

"Jiang Li! Did you forget what you were going to do today?"

There was a question on the other end of the phone, with a tough tone. It was obvious that the girl over there was trying her best to suppress her anger.

Jiang Li wanted to explain that he had not forgotten it, but the option suddenly popped up.

[Option 1: The scumbag’s excuse: How could I forget? I just went to prepare a surprise for you, which wasted my time. Completion reward: The liar was struck by lightning. 】

[Option 2: Tell the truth: I just discussed life with my senior sister and lost track of time. Please forgive me. Completion reward: Intermediate music level. 】

[Option 3: Straight man’s stubbornness: I just forgot, what should I do? Completion reward: physical strength +1. 】

???Dog system, you mess with me?

Master Jiang looked at the options with a tangled expression, unable to make a decision.

There was no need to consider option one. He had been coveting the intermediate level of music for a long time and it was very good - so he chose three.

Xiao Rong'er will definitely beat him to death if he forgets his sister because of his senior matter, let alone discussing such ambiguous words about life. It's obvious that they only talked about it in the same classroom!

Option three, with his nearly full physical strength, the result is nothing more than a certain chance of being disabled.

Yossi, it’s not a big problem.

"Are you thinking of an excuse? I'm telling you, it's useless!"

The anger in his voice could no longer be suppressed, causing Jiang Li's eardrums to hurt.

"I just forgot, what happened?"

The boy in the classroom finally said this with despair in his eyes.

Probably because she didn't know Master Jiang was so brave, the sister on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned and fell silent for an instant.

If you don’t explode in silence, you will die in silence.

"Brother, do you know what it feels like to be hit with a sandbag while practicing boxing?" the girl said calmly.

"...I don't know, and I don't want to know." Jiang Li said sadly, "Xiao Rong'er, please listen to my explanation..."

"Wait to die!"

After a few beeps, the phone hung up. Jiang Li looked at the phone sadly and put it away silently.

He probably knows what to eat tonight, let’s have a feast...
