After Entering a Book, He Just Wants to be a Flower Vase

From mid-November to the end of December, Chu Yinlong's itinerary returned to the previous dense, while Jiang Dao continued to attend classes, lose weight, and shape up regularly. Although the two tried their best to keep talking on the phone every night, Chu Yinlong also had a lot of overseas trips, due to jet lag, and if he happened to be at work, he really couldn't call Jiang Dao to read scriptures to lull him to sleep.

Fortunately, after a week of adjustments, the hypnotic effect of the e-book gradually recovered, and Jiang Dao would no longer be troubled by sleepless nights.

Neither of them mentioned the kiss on Chu Yinlong's birthday, as if they had tacitly agreed that it was just an impulsive accident.

However, the influence of that kiss is still there.

During these days, when Jiang Dao and Chu Yinlong called and sent messages, they spoke more casually, with a tacit understanding of "more than friendship, less than romance".

In early January, a big event happened in the entertainment industry.

Two members of GeniUs, a group just established last year, were reported and taken away by the police for taking drugs at home. After questioning, several starlets were involved, and countless houses collapsed overnight.

As soon as the incident happened, Chu Yinlong received a call from Lu Zhengrong.

"The rivers and lakes are in an emergency, please do me a favor."

Lu Zhengrong's tone was rarely agitated.

"Something went wrong in "Real Wilderness". You know the news about the GeniUs group accident? They were originally our invited guests, but the program team only invited three people to pull entertainment traffic, and it turned out that neither of them could come. I can ask you here."

"Real Wilderness" is a large-scale outdoor reality show newly established by Longcheer Entertainment. It is expected to be broadcast in two modes: network fragmentation, real-time UP and editing and uploading to the stars. The recording period is from January 15th to February 15th. Dear guests You need to follow a professional coach to complete a real field hike in one month.

The guests of this program involve various fields, including entertainers in the entertainment industry, sports stars, and hiking enthusiasts from other industries. Longcheer Entertainment has invested a lot of money and resources in this project, and has also developed a new live broadcast technology for this project, hoping to develop a new variety show model.

After listening to Lu Zhengrong's words, Chu Yinlong also had a headache: "The recording of the program will start on January 15th, and today is the 9th. How can I help you in such a hurry? You know before and after the Spring Festival, the evening parties and celebrations of various TV stations With so many, which artist doesn't have a full schedule?"

Compared with all kinds of evening parties and awards ceremonies where they have the opportunity to show their faces, few artists would be willing to turn down these events and instead go to record outdoor reality shows and suffer.

Chu Yinlong casually flipped through the calendar in the computer, helplessly: "I can't do it either, I'm going to attend Huatai's gala on New Year's Eve; the Amelos charity reception will be held on January 25th, and I have to be there; on February 8th there will be an awards ceremony I am the co-organizer of the dinner, so I can't turn it down."

"I know your schedule is full." Lu Zhengrong said, paused, a little sorry, "I mean, can you go to the island?"

Hearing this, Chu Yinlong frowned immediately.

Before he could open his mouth, Lu Zhengrong said: "I know you want him to be quiet for a while, to concentrate on producing works, and then come out after the movie is released... But I have no choice, I will ask for any artist I can find." After that, only Kojima has no conflict here, and I started to contact the UP owner of the live broadcast platform for another replacement seat!"

Seeing that Chu Yinlong was silent and did not answer, she added helplessly: "You think, I have already personally asked about this matter, and I really have no choice. The schedule of the program is too tight, and the process is too long. There are artists who are willing to come, but they really can't be allocated temporarily."

Of course, Chu Yinlong also understood that the situation this time was indeed too urgent. With Lu Zhengrong's contacts and means, if there were other ways, he would not ask him to come here knowing his intentions.

Sighing, Chu Yinlong had no other choice: "I can't make the decision, I have to ask his wishes. If he is not willing, I will not force him."

"Understood." Lu Zhengrong also simply said, "If he can't do it, I can only take the risk of using an amateur."

The initial investment in the project is so large, and the purpose of choosing winter holidays is to attract more traffic. If you really want to use amateurs to top the position, the ratings cannot meet the standards, and the sponsors will not be able to explain it. After all, the entertainment industry is not an art industry. If you can’t make money , people turn their faces much faster than turning a book.

Jiang Dao had just completed a set of training and was sitting on the ground stretching.

Hearing the knock on the door, he looked through the mirror in the training room and smiled at Chu Yinlong: "Are you in the studio today? I didn't see you at noon."

"I just came back in the afternoon." Chu Yinlong answered casually, and went straight to the topic, "Are you interested in participating in an outdoor reality show? The outdoor hiking type may be more difficult."

Jiang Dao raised his face: "Walking in the wild? I can do it, no problem."

Chu Yinlong added: "The schedule is a bit rushed. The recording will start on January 15th, and the location will be outside the country for a period of one month. You will not be able to come back until mid-February. If you are sure to participate, you have to start preparing today, and you have to do it urgently. Visa, and several vaccinations..."

"In such a hurry?" Jiang Dao was very sensitive, "Is there a sudden accident, and find someone to fill the seat?"

"Yes." Chu Yinlong nodded, "It just happens to be across the Spring Festival schedule, so it's a bit difficult... Otherwise, I don't want you to make a mistake."

Hearing what he said, Jiang Dao smiled: "Didn't I say that I can accept work other than filming. Since you have no other choice and you have come to me, then there must be no other way. How can I Maybe it won't help... I'm fine, don't worry."

Chu Yinlong muttered in a low voice: "I have to leave for a month, and the Spring Festival..."

His voice was too soft for Jiang Dao to hear clearly: "What?"

Chu Yinlong smiled: "It's nothing, I'll let Xiao Yang prepare."

…

In the next few days, accompanied by his assistant, Jiang Dao applied for a visa, went directly to Dr. Mu's private hospital for a comprehensive physical examination, and was vaccinated against common infectious diseases and wild parasites in the target area. Then he took a series of physical fitness tests and participated in the preliminary theoretical course training arranged by the program group. After it is finally confirmed that you can participate in the recording, a series of promotional photos for the program will be taken.

The four-day itinerary was extremely tight and fulfilling. In the early morning of January 14, Jiang Dao arrived at Longcheer Entertainment with his assistant, gathered with the whole team, and prepared to take the business jet contracted by the program team to the shooting location.

As soon as Chu Yinlong finished an agenda, he immediately called Jiang Dao.

"Everyone hasn't arrived yet, so I still have to take a few group photos, have dinner at noon, and go to the airport in the afternoon." Jiang Dao said with a smile, "Have you been checking guards too diligently these two days?"

In the past few days, Chu Yinlong called him and sent him messages whenever he had free time. Obviously, the two of them didn't see each other often a few days ago, and he didn't know what stimulated him these days.

"It's not Chagang." Chu Yinlong said helplessly, "It's just... well, I'm a little nervous."

"I'm recording a show, why are you nervous?" Jiang Dao laughed, "Don't worry, I won't hug other people's thigh behind your back."

On the phone, Chu Yinlong was silent for a moment, and did not even refute: "Well, just remember. You have sold yourself to me, and you are not allowed to hug other people's thighs until the money is paid back."

Jiang Dao couldn't help laughing: "Understood, Master Creditor."

The photographer waved to Jiang Dao not far away, Jiang Dao nodded in response, and said to Chu Yinlong: "I went to take a group photo, we will talk later, hang up."

Chu Yinlong quickly said: "Also, pay attention to safety."

Jiang Dao: "Don't worry."

This was the first time that Jiang Dao was out of Chu Yinlong's sight and completed another filming job by himself.

Even knowing that this is the normal state of love in the entertainment industry, Chu Yinlong still felt empty in his heart, and began to regret why he refused on his birthday... At that time, he said it righteously, but now he regrets it, but he can't shame himself. Eat what you say.

However, after calming down and thinking carefully, Chu Yinlong felt that even if the situation of that day was repeated again, he would still say the words of refusal—Jiang Dao's concept of that kind of thing has been distorted, and he can't get rid of it with his own hands. Make it even more crooked, or I'm afraid I'll regret it even more in the future.

Jiang Dao didn't think about the invitation that was rejected that day. He was still very free and easy about that kind of thing. If he succeeds, he will succeed. If he is rejected, he should cultivate and cultivate his relationship more. Just ask, no big deal.

He doesn't have any special feelings about his independent participation in the recording of reality shows. Since the tasks are assigned to him, he will try his best to complete them.

Arriving at the location where the group photo was taken, the first thing Jiang Dao heard was a series of loud dog barking.

"Huh? Is there a dog?" Jiang Dao looked at the field in surprise, and found a man in a smart jacket leading a majestic wolf dog.

At this moment, the wolfhound was staring at Jiang Dao's direction, with its tail slightly between its legs, but it was protecting the man in front of him, baring its teeth and barking at Jiang Dao.

The man knelt down with a frown, and stroked the puffed-up neck hair of the wolf dog: "Eleven, be quiet!"

The wolfhound named "Eleven" suddenly stopped talking, but still tucked its tail and bared its teeth, staring vigilantly in the direction of Jiang Dao, and even took half a step in front of the man, firmly guarding him in front of him. behind.

Seeing that his partner was so on guard, the man looked at Jiang Dao scrutinizingly.

Finding that the other party was an overly beautiful young man with no hostility, he smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, I'm Zheng Yaojun."

"Hi, I'm Jiang Dao."

Just as Jiang Dao stretched out his hand to shake hands with the person, he saw the wolf dog suddenly grabbed Zheng Yaojun's trousers and pulled him back desperately. There was still a warning sound in his throat, and his tail was already tightly stuck to his belly in fright. up.

But even so, it still didn't run away by itself.

Jiang Dao glanced at the wolf dog, took his hand back, and said curiously: "This dog doesn't look like a pet."

Zheng Yaojun also withdrew his hand and nodded: "Eleven is a retired military dog. It has been on the border and made great achievements... It is rarely so wary of ordinary people."

"Oh, that may be something weird about me." Jiang Dao scratched his hair pretending to be ignorant, "Many animals are afraid of me, and they run away when they see me. I don't know why... it also wants to participate in this program recording?"

"Yes." Zheng Yaojun patted Eleven on the head, comforted him slightly, and replied, "Actually, it is the guest invited by the program group. It has been popular for a long time after it retired from the military. Be a partner."

Seeing that Eleven was still nervous, Jiang Dao smiled apologetically, took a few steps back, away from the person and dog, and walked to the other side of the field.

After the group photo was taken and everyone had lunch together, Jiang Dao found out that Zheng Yaojun was a retired special forces soldier who had fought against terrorist organizations at the border, and Eleven was his partner in the army.

In addition to Zheng Yaojun, the guests invited to this program also include a doctor Zhao Yuhong, a recently retired women's gymnastics world champion Zhu Huayun, a well-known popular actor Lin Chu, and a live broadcaster from Longqi Entertainment. Yuan Shu, the UP owner of the platform's travel section.

Six people and one dog are the protagonist lineup of this reality show.

In addition to them, there are hundreds of staff including professional consultant team, medical team, ambulance team, communication team and so on.

Seeing this battle, Jiang Dao understood why Long Qi would rather find him than postpone the recording. With such a large team, once the time is changed, it will inevitably involve too much.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the business plane of the program group took off from Yan City carrying the entire team and filming equipment. Five hours later, the plane landed safely in the country where the filming took place. It took another two hours for the team to officially arrive at the outdoor live-action event. The starting point of the show trekking - Talor Grand Canyon.

Seeing that there were no traces of man-made buildings in the surroundings, Lin Chu couldn't hide his surprise: "Are you going to live in a tent today? Isn't the recording starting tomorrow?"

The program leader replied with a smile: "I have to get used to it tonight. If I find something is missing, I still have time to make up for it. If I want new supplies after I go deep into the canyon, I have to wait for the helicopter to supply them."

At this time, Yuan Shu raised his hand: "Is there a signal in the canyon?"

He had heard that the show could be broadcast live on the platform, and he thought it was a walk around the city, but when he arrived, he found out that it was actually a real wilderness, and he was a little worried about whether the legendary live broadcast could be done.

"There is definitely no mobile phone signal." The team leader shook his head, "Strictly speaking, our program is not a live broadcast, but the images collected by the communication team every day, and then the simplest clips are edited and uploaded to the live broadcast platform at a fixed point the next day ——It’s the same as your usual video UP.”

Yuan Shu looked a little disappointed. He was also temporarily caught to fill the seat after being chased out of the market. He thought he could broadcast live to boost his popularity. However, the other party gave a lot of money, so if he couldn't live broadcast, he couldn't live broadcast, so he didn't lose anything anyway.

After the two asked questions, the program leader's eyes fell on Jiang Dao's face.

Jiang Dao blinked his eyes, full of doubts: "Huh?"

Leader: "Do you have anything to ask?"

Jiang Dao shook his head: "No."

What he wanted to ask was asked during the training before. During the recording of the program, you can bring your personal belongings and mobile phone, and the program team will provide charging service together with GoPro. This has solved Jiang Dao’s big problem—sleeping problem .

The team leader turned to Zhu Huayun: "You are the only girl among the guests. If you need anything, you must communicate with the staff in time."

Zhu Huayun looks like a small one, but has a carefree personality: "No problem."

Next, it is the course time for the team to conduct on-site operation training.

When I was in Yan City before, the training of the program group only covered some theory, but when I started to do it, how to pitch a tent, how to use an outdoor stove, how to use a rope...all had to be carefully taught.

Due to the time difference, after hours of study, everyone was yawning, and the twilight had just begun to fall.

Apart from Zheng Yaojun who knew these skills, Jiang Dao was the one who learned them the fastest. Even though he had never been exposed to such beautifully crafted things in the last days, he could quickly understand their functions and learn the skills to use them.

Zheng Yaojun liked such a savvy child very much. After the training, he walked to Jiang Dao and sat down: "Not bad, I learned so quickly..."

As soon as the words fell, Eleven, who was lying obediently by the side, suddenly rushed over, grabbed his trouser legs, and dragged him away from Jiangdao.

Jiang Dao: ...

Zheng Yaojun: ...

"Eleven, get down and stand by." Zheng Yaojun said seriously.

"Woooo..." Eleven tugged his ears back, lying obediently on the ground with extreme displeasure, baring his teeth at Jiang Dao, with a warning sound coming from his throat.

"This won't work." Zheng Yaojun frowned, "We have to act together next time, it is always guarding against you, and there will be problems. Jiang Dao, you come."

"Huh?" Jiang Dao was puzzled.

"Come here, let me help you get acquainted with it." Zheng Yaojun stretched out his hand, held the back of Jiang Dao's hand, and led him toward Eleven.

Eleven looked a little restless, but he didn't get the order, and the master did it himself. No matter how wronged he was, he could only put his tail between his legs and let Jiang Dao's fingertips rest on its head.

Touching the warm forehead of the wolf dog, the fluffy texture between his fingers made Jiang Dao's heart soften suddenly, and a smile could not be restrained from the corner of his mouth.

He looked into Eleven's eyes, and called softly, "Eleven."

Eleven bared his teeth at him.

Zheng Yaojun took Jiang Dao and continued to caress Eleven until Eleven seemed a little more relaxed. While baring his teeth, he put his nose close to Jiang Dao's wrist and smelled his scent.

"Good boy." Zheng Yaojun let go of Jiang Dao's hand, took out a piece of jerky the size of a fingertip from his pocket, and rewarded Eleven.

After a friendly exchange ended, Jiang Dao was extremely excited. He immediately picked up his mobile phone and took the last opportunity to send a message to Chu Yinlong: "I finally touched the dog!!"

Although it was late at night in Yan City, Chu Yinlong still replied in seconds: "Congratulations."

At the end, I added: "What kind of dog doesn't run away when it sees you?"

Jiang Dao asked Zheng Yaojun, took a group photo of him and Shiyi, and sent it to Chu Yinlong.

"The military dogs brought by Zheng Ge have been on the battlefield, so they are courageous."

"At first, I wanted to ask Brother Zheng if I could adopt it, but Brother Zheng said that this dog is his comrade-in-arms, so I guess no one will take it away."

"I don't know if I will have a chance to go to Brother Zheng's house to see it after returning to Yan City."

Chu Yinlong: ...

Very good, he had already started to regret it on the first day after letting him go.

…

That night, the program team leader announced how the tents will be allocated: "Yunyun is a girl, she lives in a tent alone, and then we have a two-person tent and a four-person tent, Mr. Zhao, please bring Lin Chu and Yuan Shu Live in a four-person tent, Zheng Ge will take Xiaodao to live in a two-person tent, right?"

Everyone expressed no objection.

The team leader continued: "Because you have to watch the bonfire at night, the six of you need to take turns on duty at night, in pairs. Yunyun and Yuan Shu will stay together from ten to one in the morning. Brother Zheng Xiaodao will work hard and stay on duty from one to four in the morning." At last, Dr. Zhao and Lin Chu, you take over until the morning. Do you have any questions?"

Everyone still has no objection, and the on-duty shift will be implemented from that night.

At ten o'clock in the evening local time, everyone finished simple tidying up and got into the tents to prepare for rest.

Jiang Dao skillfully tucked into his sleeping bag, played the e-book he had downloaded earlier, closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep quickly, when he heard Eleven whining outside the tent to express his dissatisfaction.

Zheng Yaojun ordered: "Get down and sleep!"

Eleven grabbed a corner of his sleeping bag and pulled it out.

As soon as Zheng Yaojun raised his finger, Eleven obediently let go, lying at the door of the tent aggrieved, squinting inside. Zheng Yaojun stretched out his hand to close the tent door, and heard Eleven hum again, then pressed his ears to the tent tightly, and lay still on his stomach.

"Tsk, I don't know what to guard against you." Zheng Yaojun was really puzzled, "I don't think you have any hostility..."

Jiang Dao smiled and said nothing.

At one o'clock in the morning, Jiang Dao was woken up by Zheng Yaojun and got up to take over the night duty.

In fact, there is no danger at the entrance of the canyon, and even the inside of the canyon, because it is a forest area where hiking projects have been opened, there are no large predators. The night watch is just to watch the bonfire keep on, in case of unexpected situations.

Jiang Dao is actually quite used to doing nothing for three hours.

Unlike staying at home, when he comes to the wild, he will not feel bored when he has nothing to do. It seems that this kind of idleness is part of "work", and the content of the job is to wait.

Zheng Yaojun looked at Jiang Dao and suddenly became curious: "Could you have done field training?"

Jiang Dao blinked: "No."

Zheng Yaojun smiled: "It seems that you are quite used to being interrupted in your sleep in the early morning. This time period is the most difficult to stand on the post, and I don't see you getting sleepy. When I was a recruit, I probably started to shake my head in a daze."

Three hours later, Dr. Zhao got up to change the guard. Lin Chu came out after him with sleepy eyes, and started yawning as soon as he sat down.

Jiang Dao returned to the tent, took off his coat, got back into his sleeping bag, and reopened the e-book.

"Are you used to listening to music to sleep?" Zheng Yaojun was surprised.

"Well," Jiang Dao admitted, "I can't fall asleep without listening to the sound."

"It's the same as a comrade-in-arms of mine." Zheng Yaojun said casually, "He was sent to the war zone for two years, and he was like this after he came back. He couldn't sleep without listening to the sound. What did the doctor say? Post-war obstacles..."

Jiang Dao was slightly stunned: "Post-war obstacles?"

Zheng Yaojun hummed: "Probably because I was used to being on guard on the battlefield, and suddenly returned to a quiet environment, and I didn't quite adapt to it. But it was cured later."

Jiang Dao became curious: "How was it cured?"

Zheng Yaojun laughed: "He will be fine after he gets married. He told us that sleeping with his wife in his arms every night is very comfortable. It is probably because he subconsciously knows that there is a living person guarding him, so it is safe."

Hearing this statement, Jiang Dao lowered his eyes and thought.

When he slept well a few times before, apart from the effect of Chu Yinlong chanting sutras for him, it was the first time he could fall asleep without listening to the sound. It seemed that it was the day when the Taoyuan program group lost his earphones while sleeping...

He still didn't forget that when he woke up that day, he was holding Chu Yinlong's arm in his arms.
