After this incident, Ying Sitong deprived Xia Yuan of his right to observe and added a new rule to the agreement:
Rule 7: Without permission, you may not do strange things to the other person's body and mind, including the following behaviors:
[Take body temperature
Measure heartbeat
Shine a flashlight into the eyes
Prick blood with a needle
Add strange substances to food, including but not limited to silver, gold, etc.
…]
Ying Sitong listed a long list.
This time Xia Yuan was in the wrong, and he couldn't say anything.
At the same time, Xia Yuan reflected deeply on his behavior:
It was really reckless to add something to Ying Sitong's food casually. If the vampire died accidentally, he would die with her.
Fortunately, Ying Sitong only had diarrhea now.
Therefore, Xia Yuan decided to focus on cell experiments in the future.
For example, using her hair, or skin scraps, etc.
Under the premise of not being discovered, this method does not currently violate Rule 7.
However, if Ying Sitong knew about it, it would be included in the seventh agreement, so he must be cautious.
…
In addition to being interested in the physiological structure of the blood clan, Xia Yuan actually wanted to understand the most -
Why would he die if Ying Sitong died?
Although Ying Sitong explained that it was because she saved him with real blood, and the two of them had a very magical and close internal connection, this was only Ying Sitong's one-sided statement.
There is no definite scientific basis.
If the principle can be figured out, it may be possible to untie the [different bodies and shared lives] of the two people.
In this way, he and Ying Sitong can live their own lives.
…
In addition, there is another thing that Xia Yuan is very concerned about -
After recovering from the car accident, Xia Yuan's body has undergone some subtle changes.
First of all, the body fat rate is decreasing. His original figure was not very good, at most 4 abdominal muscles, but after nearly half a month, he now has 8 abdominal muscles.
The body contour is clearly visible, and the shape of the muscles is like a stone sculpture.
His skin was tight, and the veins on the back of his hand were clearly visible.
It seemed that his appearance had improved by at least two levels compared to before the car accident.
Fortunately, his bones had not changed much, and his face had hardly changed, so others would not think that he was a different person from before.
Not only that, his mobility had also been enhanced, and his running speed and reaction had been greatly improved.
All these phenomena should confirm that what Ying Sitong said before was true:
Xia Yuan had the blood of the vampires in his body. Although the amount was small, it gave him amazing recovery ability and physical changes, making him more agile and full of strength.
Blood blends into blood, and Xia Yuan had reason to believe that this thing was maintaining the connection between him and the vampires.
Perhaps if he cleared the vampire blood in his body, he could get rid of Ying Sitong.
But how to clear it, and what the consequences of clearing it would be...
Xia Yuan had no idea.
There was one thing Xia Yuan was sure of, that he was still a human being in essence, and had not transformed into a vampire.
He is not bloodthirsty, and has no special desire for animals or blood bags brought by Ying Sitong, and he feels a little nauseous when thinking about raw blood.
Of course, he is not opposed to eating cooked blood, such as duck blood hot pot, which is Xia Yuan's favorite, but this is different from the nature of the blood race.
Xia Yuan does not have the characteristics of the blood race now:
He is not afraid of light, and can walk in the sun during the day with a step that does not recognize relatives.
Of course, sweating and fever will make you feel uncomfortable after being exposed to the sun for a long time, which is a normal human reaction.
It is just that I don't know whether it is because of his natural beauty or because of the influence of the blood race's true blood. Anyway, no matter how much Xia Yuan is exposed to the sun, his skin will not get darker.
Secondly, his work and rest are normal, he is still energetic during the day and sleepy at night, which is in line with human habits.
The difference is that he now needs less sleep time. As long as he can sleep for more than 5 hours a day, Xia Yuan can be energetic all day long.
This should be a good thing for him, because the time saved can be used to study and enrich himself.
Finally --
What made him feel a little uneasy was that he also had an adverse reaction to silver.
Xia Yuan ate a silver foil ice cream at McDonald's and had diarrhea for a whole day.
Of course, this could also be because humans themselves cannot digest silver.
But for the sake of caution, he still recorded this observation.
...
Five days after the wedding, Xia Yuan returned to the construction site.
Yunze Film and Television City.
This place is the largest film and television base in the country. Almost 70% of the movies and TV series released in China are shot here.
At the same time, it also gathers all kinds of young people with dreams who come here to seek gold and become famous.
Xia Yuan himself is a local of Yunze City.
After his parents passed away, his grades plummeted, and he later failed to get into a good university.
So he set his goal on becoming an actor.
Xia Yuan is a new martial artist, and he is also very interested in filming.
Martial artists mainly refer to professionals who engage in dangerous or difficult physical work such as fighting, riding, explosions, etc. during the filming of film and television dramas.
This line of work is extremely dangerous. Getting beaten and injured is commonplace, and you may end up disabled if you are not careful.
The advantage is that martial artists get higher pay and are very scarce. Most crews need martial artists.
Whether it is an anti-Japanese war drama, a costume drama, a modern gunfight drama, or a spy drama... martial artists are basically indispensable.
Because Xia Yuan has a pretty face, a tall stature, and quick reactions, he has also taken on some small roles with lines before.
Being a minor actor is very hard work, and it is very difficult to start from the bottom.
Low pay and long working hours.
Dirty, hard, and tiring are the main characteristics of this line of work.
Fortunately, there is a house at home, so you don't have to rent a house every month like other passers-by group actors, and the worse ones live together with more than ten people.
The martial artists are divided into two types: on-staff and off-staff.
On-staff basically have a fixed team, such as the four famous teams in Hong Kong in the past: Cheng Jin, Liu Li.
Their martial arts are all trained internally, with a very strict process of apprenticeship and learning skills. They also eat from the same pot. When filming, they call the team members, and each film is a team.
The advantage of this is stability. If the big brother has a film to shoot, the younger brothers will have food to eat.
The disadvantage is similar. If the big brother does not film, the younger brothers will have no work to do.
Because the big teams stipulate that they cannot go to other places to perform. Just like a martial arts school disciple cannot learn skills elsewhere.
In recent years, it has been a little better, and the rules are not so strict, so the members of the big teams also help each other and circulate.
However, the team is definitely better than individual people. The entertainment industry itself is also a variety of large and small circles. Directors have to consider various interpersonal relationships when hiring people.
Many times, it is not because you are excellent that others will hire you, it depends on which circle you are in.
There are more and more circles in the mainland, from top to bottom.
Xia Yuan also has his own small circle, called Lujiaban.
"Sister Lu, do you have any work for me recently?"
The boss of the Lu family is called Lu Xinyan, a woman in her early 30s, very pretty, well connected, and mainly takes work for the brothers.
Lu Xinyan sat in the teahouse's filming building, eating melon seeds from the props group while looking up at Xia Yuan.
Her eyes were slightly stunned-
This guy seems to be more handsome again, right?
"Aren't you newlyweds? Shouldn't you be at home with your love? Why are you here so early to start work?"
There was a little sourness in Lu Xinyan's words. She had taken care of Xia Yuan before, which was more or less meaningful.
Xia Yuan had a car accident, and because of his marriage, he asked for almost half a month's leave from her.
When she first heard the news that he was going to get married, Lu Xinyan's instinctive thought was-
Is this guy crazy?
Getting married is equivalent to ruining an actor's career, unless this guy wants to be a martial artist for life.
"Sister, you know that if you don't come to this line for two days, you will lose all the roles." Xia Yuan said with a worried face, "I have to support my family, right?"
"How could you know that?"
Lu Xinyan rolled her eyes at him.
"You have rarely shown your face, and now you are a married young man, who would dare to hire you?"
