night.

There was still a bit of oil on her body, which made her skin look darker. The strong coach Yu Fei walked to Xu Xin, who was panting heavily on the equipment, while holding up the restraints that protect her waist and help generate strength:

"You haven't left yet?"

"Huh...huh...huh..."

Raising his head, Xu Xin glanced at the person who came, and when he realized it was his coach, he shook his head:

"without."

"...It's a bit too dangerous for you to practice like this."

Looking at his soaked gray T-shirt and the sweat stains pattering down on the floor mat, even she who was preparing for a bodybuilding competition recently felt a little scared:

"It's been three hours since the end of the class... You can easily get injured if you practice like this."

"...Well, I can't lift my arms anymore."

He lowered his head and glanced at the palms of his hands that were already covered in blood blisters... They were still wearing gloves. If he didn't wear gloves, God knows what they would be like.

"What's the trouble?"

"……without."

After all, the professionalism is not appropriate, and Xu Xin is really tired now.

Too lazy to say it.

He waved his hand, stood up on his sore legs, signaled that he did not need help from the other party, and said directly:

"I'm going for a massage, coach, see you later."

"...Well, remember to drink protein powder. If you train a lot, you must replenish protein in time."

"knew."

"..."

Looking at the student who usually looked kind and calm, but today seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person, Coach Yu Fei tilted her head in confusion.

What happened?

You have to torture yourself like this.

…

In fact, what she thought was right, Xu Xin just found it very annoying.

Because he couldn't find the main line of the story in his heart.

Every time I think of an entry point, I probably follow this train of thought in my mind...

Although the story was clear and logical, the word "mediocre" was inevitably marked in his mind.

If "Not Drunk" is his farewell to his past, then this is now a movie in his mind that he really wants to make. From the moment the idea was born, Xu Xin essentially rejected mediocrity.

He is the director.

But he is no ordinary director.

It's not about how famous he is or how high he started...he knows very well that he has many shortcomings.

The reason why he feels that he is not an ordinary director is simply because... he feels that he does not want to compromise with mediocrity.

In fact, looking at the resumes of many filmmakers, the story that is most often regarded as chicken soup for the soul is... Ah, he was just an ordinary director at the beginning. He shot music videos and commercials for a living, and then one day

When you meet your precious person or opportunity, your life will suddenly soar into the sky.

These chicken soups are full of "inspirational" orientation.

It's also truly inspiring.

But the problem is...these inspirational foundations are forced by life and the helplessness of livelihood.

But I don’t have to bow to life…

Although people would hate him if he said this, Xu Xin would not say it to others.

But in his heart, that's what he thought.

He knows that his abilities are not enough and he still needs to accumulate, study, etc. But these shortcomings are not an excuse for him to allow himself to be mediocre.

This request to reject mediocrity has nothing to do with other people and is not close to anyone. It is purely the bottom line he has set for himself.

The movie you want to make can bomb at the box office, be called trash, or have poor results.

No matter what.

If others are able to eat big fish and meat, that is their ability.

If you can't bear to chew cornbread, then you have no future.

But for Xu Xin, one of the most basic requirements is to satisfy himself first.

Just like his current love life.

When he didn't meet the right person, he would rather hold it in, wishing that the force of the impact would make a hole in the toilet every morning, instead of just casually acting like a woman he had never seen before, even a pig could hump.

The feelings are like this, and the requirements for your own works are also like this.

Mom just wants to be an artist, this is what the old man said himself.

In this case, he can't let mediocrity infect his heart... It may be that he inherited his mother's dream.

I have to approve my things first.

This will do.

But now this is where the difficulty lies.

If I can't figure it out, it's very annoying.

Fortunately, he is not a writer of novels, otherwise it would be even worse if there were a group of people behind him kicking his ass to catch up...

"Find a male technician. I don't want a female technician."

Wearing shorts and giving instructions, Xu Xin, who was extremely tired, lay down on the massage bed.

Feeling a little aggrieved for no reason.

What the hell, I can't think of a story, I can't find an outlet for the things in my head, and I feel so uncomfortable.

I don’t have a girlfriend, and I’m so depressed that I don’t even dare to find a female technician during massage.

What the hell is this!

bother!

…

The cost of being reckless in the gym is quite high.

At least when he came to class the next afternoon, he took a taxi and took a few steps slowly.

I can't help it, my legs are so weak.

Xu Xin struggled to walk from the school gate to the teaching building.

And when he saw the steps of the teaching building, he became even more desperate.

The more than twenty steps were like a chasm, giving him the urge to sit down and never get up.

And at this moment, he suddenly heard a girl's voice coming from behind:

"Xu Xin, are you okay?"

The voice sounds a bit familiar.

Turning his head...

Yuan Shanshan?

Xu Xin was stunned when he looked at the girl who was wearing a woolen coat, jeans, a pair of high heels that shouldn't have appeared in this cold spring, and some makeup on her face.

Then he shook his head:

"fine."

The attitude is not too cold, but it is not hot either.

After giving the answer, he gritted his teeth and took a step forward.

After suddenly bending my knees and using my feet to help me climb the first step with great difficulty, something embarrassing happened.

Can't get up...

In other words...it's so soft that I can't get up at all.

It’s really hard for people who don’t exercise or don’t train their legs to experience this kind of soreness.

It was a kind of discomfort that made the lower body explode.

Then……

Xu Xin gritted his teeth.

After making an inevitable "hum" sound, the other leg stepped on the step.

But I was a little unsteady, and my body began to sway from my legs to my top.

"Hey, don't move."

A soft and worried voice sounded.

And his back was pressed by a pair of hands.

With the focus, Xu Xin finally stood firm, but he did not move forward, but showed the right courtesy and gratitude to Yuan Shanshan who was pressing his back with her hand:

"Thank you. I worked out yesterday and practiced my legs, but I felt a little weak."

Facing the girl's worried eyes, Xu Xin waved his hand after explaining:

"Don't mind me, class is about to begin, let's go first. I'll take my time~"

"Don't be brave, I'll help you walk, come on..."

"Need not."

Xu Xin still shook his head:

"I can do it by myself. If it's okay, don't push me. I'll do it by myself."

"..."

After hearing his words, the girl could only let go of her hand.

But he didn't leave, he just stayed by his side, watching Xu Xin move forward step by step and kick by bump.

He walked up twenty or so steps for nearly three minutes before reaching the top.

Yuan Shanshan, who had been silent throughout the whole process, suddenly asked:

"What's your class? Which floor is it?"

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched...

But just in the blink of an eye, he pointed to the large classroom on the left side of the teaching building:

"Shadow Beauty."

"Jingle Bell……"

At this time, the bell for class also rang.

He followed the ringtone and said:

"Go in quickly."

"..."

The girl blinked, her eyes seemed to have something to say, but in the end she said nothing.

Just nodded:

"Okay, then be careful."

"Well, thanks."

Xu Xin nodded, and when she passed by him, he smelled the scent of the perfume and waved to her like an ordinary classmate.

Wave goodbye.

Then...listening to the trampling of the pair of high heels as they disappeared on the road leading to the second floor, Xu Xin bent down again.

He hammered his legs twice and started rubbing them again.

These twenty or so steps are killing me... I really can't move at this moment.

But at this moment, as he bent down and lowered his head, a pair of somewhat familiar sneakers appeared in his eyes.

The arm was also mixed in:

"A big lover, he's quite capable of showing off."

"...???"

Looking at the girl who suddenly appeared supporting his arm, Xu Xin had a question mark on his face:

"Why are you here?"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes:

"I have been there for a long time. I just saw you in the teacher's office on the first floor. When I saw your virtue of walking without bending your legs, I knew that you must have gone to the gym, so I wanted to come out and help.

Come on. Who would have thought... Good guy, I'm sorry to disturb you two."

"..."

Xu Xin was speechless at first, but immediately became happy:

"Hey, hello, my dearest daughter... Ouch!"

His calf was pushed, and he subconsciously wanted to fall forward, but the girl held him back and prevented him from falling.

But his body's instinct already made him take another step forward.

"Hiss~~~"

The sourness hits again.

Yang Mi tilted her head, her eyes innocent:

"What did you say?"

"...It's okay, sister."

When it was time to give in, he quickly gave in and at the same time arched his body so that no one could see his embarrassment. He said:

"Okay, let me go and I'll go by myself."

"Put it down. You are acting like your ex-girlfriend, but you are pretending to be a big-tailed wolf like me. Today you are taking a class on world film history, and you are on the third floor. Do you think I don't know?"

The girl rolled her eyes:

"Let's go, I'll help you. Really... just burn some incense. If I hadn't bumped into you, if you could climb up to the third floor in this class, I would have taken your last name."

"...Yang Bodhisattva, you are a compassionate and merciful Bodhisattva who saves the suffering, okay?"

Being led by her, Xu Xin walked forward with difficulty.

As I walked, I asked:

"What are you doing in the teacher's office?"

"Please take leave."

"……Ask for leave?"

Xu Xin was stunned.

Yang Mi nodded:

"Well, there is news about the audition last year. I will join the group next week."

"...What kind of drama is this?"

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes, directed by Yu Min, I played Guo Xiang in it."

"Well……"

Looking at the stunned Xu Xin, Yang Mi snorted slightly proudly:

"Humph, so just be content. Next time you are in trouble, Bodhisattva Yang, who is so kind and compassionate and saves those who are suffering, may not be able to save you in time."

"...Haha~"

Xu Xin was happy when he heard this:

"Bodhisattva is compassionate."

"Ha~ let's go, you will be late."
