"Xing Xing , what are you thinking about?"
"...... Didn't think anything of it."
When she heard the makeup artist's words, Xingchen Qi, who was sitting in the makeup room waiting for her makeup to be removed, hurriedly pulled out of her thoughts from "Don't keep me waiting too late": "My makeup is almost done, so I don't need to take it off too seriously, right?"
"That's not going to work, it's going to clog your pores if you don't take off your makeup."
The make-up artist helped him to remove his make-up, "snap" to his face paste a mask, "not only to remove the make-up properly, but also to apply a mask, your handsome little face will not be discounted Oh."
"Yes, thank you, sister!"
Xingchen Qi nodded and started to talk to the makeup artist about how cute Xiang Xiang is. Next to him, Sheng Xu, who had finished filming all the scenes today and removed his makeup, also closed his eyes and waited for the makeup artist to come over and give him a mask.
After waiting for two minutes, the make-up artist did not respond.
"...... Stop chatting," Sheng Xu was impatient, pointing at Xingchen Qi, "Put it on for me, so I can go back to the hotel afterwards."
"Ah sorry Mr. Xu," the makeup artist hastily apologized, "I brought the mask for Xing Xing myself, I didn't take your share ......"
"...... Bang!"
Xu fell off the stool, cursed and left.
Xingchen Qi grew up living on his own and has a thorough understanding of the human condition. These days he often brings take-out and refreshments to the crew, and with his good looks and personality, plus his ability to get things done, he has become a good friend to everyone.
Fifteen minutes to remove the mask, into their own nanny car, Xingchen Qi slumped in the seat, holding up the phone and typing.
Ran An asked, "Xing Xing, do you read Weibo?"
"No," Xingchen Qi was distracted, "what's going on now."
"Spell the afternoon water army, the other side has been deadlocked, and then not estimated that the company will come up with a statement."
Xingchen Qi can expect the other side of the approach, rumors of such things, the longer you know the more people, the greater the harm to the parties.
He finished typing the last word and sent it, as if relieved to form a "big" shape.
Ran An saw it and wondered, "Who did you just message?"
"Someone who doesn't like to take vitamin tablets."
"Who is that?"
"No, it's not that he doesn't like to take vitamins," Xingchen Qi said to herself, "he doesn't like to take any pills."
Ran An : "......"
Her artist is eighty percent crazy, saying what nonsense it.
The nanny car continues to drive to the hotel, halfway, Xingchen Qi let the old Liang parked in front of a restaurant, duck-tongued hat mask greeted to the face, fully armed out of the car.
Although he is not to the extent that he knows anyone who sees him now, but extraordinary times, it is better to be cautious.
He was guided to the private room by the waiter, and the grandmotherly gray-haired teenager, wearing a Crocodile T-shirt and aviator jacket, was sitting at the other end of the table in a large, golden pony.
When he came in, Jiaze Qi raised his chin in a casual manner, "Brother, you're here, order first."
Xingchen Qi ordered a few dishes that are good for teenage brain development and closed the menu, "Why are you skipping class again."
Jiaze Qi said, "I don't have class this afternoon."
"Tell the truth."
"...... Want to eat eel rice from this place," Jiaze Qi mutters, "it's been more than three months since we last ate here."
Xingchen Qi's heart suddenly softened - the child said he wanted to eat eel rice, but in fact, he "wanted to eat eel rice with his brother".
He misses his brother.
In the afternoon, Jiaze Qi suddenly called and asked him in a roundabout way if he had time, so Xingchen Qi guessed that the boy was looking for him.
It just so happens that he also wants to talk to Jiaze Qi about school violence, because it is wrong in the first place, and because if he can avoid conflict with Tao Tao's brother, he can solve the root of Jiaze Qi's problem of being cannon fodder.
"Ze Jia," the cousin's personality is awkward, Xingchen Qi could not say it directly, asked, "Have you taken the exams recently, how are your results?"
Jiaze Qi's hand stalled as she assembled the chopsticks.
Guessing it wasn't good, Xingchen Qi changed the subject: "Did the teacher find your parents recently?"
Jiaze Qi : "......"
Estimated looking up, school bullies are really hard not to get into trouble.
"Soon to graduate, you try to get along with your classmates and leave a good impression on each other. Because in the future, it will be difficult to meet again. Xingchen Qi gradually entered the topic, "By the way, do you have a classmate named Xuan Tao? He is my friend's brother, you can communicate with each other more often."
" Xuan Tao ......" Jiaze Qi frowned and thought for a while before remembering, "Oh, there is such a person. Brother you do not worry, since you know, then I am responsible for covering him in the future ...... Although he is a bit strange ......"
"Weird? Where's weird?"
"All day long, he has a stinky face, does not play games or basketball, and ignores anyone who talks to him," Jiaze Qi rubbed Hai Liu grumpily, "If he wasn't so weak, he would fall down at the first touch, I think he would be the fucking boss."
Not athletic, away from the crowd, thin body ...... Xingchen Qi recalls the episode of "Peach of the Night".
Most likely, Xuan Tao was already suffering from SLE at this time. It is just that the disease is in the early stage and not deteriorating, and he can still attend classes and study normally.
Xuan Tao chose to hide his medical history and did not tell his classmates, so he could not say anything freely. Xingchen Qi sighed secretly and said slowly, " Ze Jia, Xuan Tao may have his own reasons for doing this, you can't hate him just because he is not close to his classmates, understand?"
"But that closed-mouth tug look of his is annoying!"
"Don't you have to ask people to respond when you talk to them, so it's not unpleasant?" Xingchen Qi asked rhetorically.
Jiaze Qi choked.
"Well," Xingchen Qi's arm crossed the table and rubbed the top of Jiaze Qi's head, "everyone has their own reasons for their personality, if you can't understand it, try to respect him."
Jiaze Qi : "......"
Jiaze Qi's eyes, which had been awake all day, suddenly widened: "Brother, you actually touched my head? How dare you touch my head? The head teacher didn't even dare to touch it!"
What in the TV drama, the brother touching the brother's head is not the usual operation, Xingchen Qi realized that he was cheated by the TV drama, wanted to apologize, and then found Jiaze Qi body suddenly slightly leaned forward, as if to let him touch more convenient, pretending to lower his head to open the sea urchin.
"......" Xingchen Qi couldn't help but laugh and rubbed on it again.
.
Under Xingchen Qi's repeated instructions, Jiaze Qi promised not to bully Xuan Tao in the future.
Xingchen Qi was satisfied and asked Jiaze Qi to take him back to the hotel after dinner. So Jiaze Qi drove his sports car into a wheelchair, a twenty-minute journey that took more than forty minutes.
To the hotel downstairs, Jiaze Qi from the cigarette case hold a cigarette, half squint: "brother, wait for me ......"
"What do children smoke!" Xingchen Qi reached out and pulled the cigarette out.
Jiaze Qi : "...... Brother you dare to rob my cigarettes? The head teacher wouldn't dare!"
Xingchen Qi sort of understand his nature, ignore this threat, and accompany him to chat for another half an hour before returning to the hotel.
Ran An had already tidied up his room when he followed the elevator to the top floor. When she heard him open the door, she immediately stopped him and said, "Stop! Don't go into the bedroom, go take a bath first, I've put the water and essential oil in the bathtub, soak for half an hour to get rid of the fishy."
Xingchen Qi did not understand: "Go fishy?"
"Hanging out with Xiang Xiang all day, you smell like fish and disinfectant," Ran An explained, "Tao Tao's assistant introduced me to an essential oil that smells good, try it."
Xingchen Qi sniffed the cuffs, indeed a little fishy smell. He has been soaking in the oceanarium he has gotten used to it, if Ran An does not mention it, he will not find it at all.
Just now and Jiaze Qi in the sealed sports car for so long, Jiaze Qi did not complain a word, is also aggravated this child.
Xingchen Qi put his phone on the shelf next to him, took off his clothes and jumped into the bathtub. When I was fast asleep, the phone shook twice.
He didn't really want to move, glanced lazily sideways and saw that the person sending the message was Bo.
So he resigned himself to sitting up, pulled a towel to dry his hands and clicked on the message.
Bo: [To the hotel?
The last one was sent by Xingchen Qi, who clocked in to tell the other party that he was going to play, and there was a meal break between the two.
Xingchen Qi thought, no wonder the entertainment industry together quite a lot, can go to the end of the few.
According to this efficiency chat, let alone now he did not catch up with Ye Bai, even if he did, in a few months will certainly be a shot.
...... No, he is looking for Ye Bai is not to cultivate the feeling of chasing people, think so long term why.
Xingchen Qi shake not very sober brain: [arrived, are soaking on the bath]
With that, he sheepishly held the bottle of essential oil and took a picture of it to send to Ye Bai to prove he wasn't fooling around.
Ye Bai clicked on the photo, and her eyes fell on the fingers holding the bottle.
The white round, fingertips wrinkled from soaking for too long, a look in order to return the message deliberately wiped hands.
Ye Bai Evaluation: [Lovely.
Xing Xing not quite understand: [...... You mean the essential oils are cute?
Ye Bai now see the essential oil, digress: [the last time I smelled it is it smell]
The last time I smelled ...... He did not explain that the last smell is shampoo, how this thing can not get over!
Or, does Ye Bai really like that flavor?
Xingchen Qi looked at the shepherd boy on the sink and wanted to try to explain himself again, but before he could finish typing, he was interrupted by the caller alert.
It was Yunxiao Qi who called, Xingchen Qi picked up: "Brother."
"......" Yunxiao Qi Xingji's mind instantly dissipated, "Well, tell me again about the microblogging."
Yunxiao Qi is busy with his official duties and basically doesn't read social networking sites. The morning was his busiest time, so Xingchen Qi did not call him at the first moment, but contacted Nuoya Chen directly.
Xingchen Qi had no choice but to repeat what he said. Yunxiao Qi was puzzled after hearing it: "Such a small thing, Nuoya Chen didn't finish it in one day?"
Xingchen Qi : "......"
"Next time don't look for him, look for me directly, pigs can't solve people's problems," Yunxiao Qi paused, "sleep well tonight, and look at Twitter in the morning."
Xingchen Qi admired her big brother's skill of cursing without using dirty words, and was instructed to turn off Weibo. He continued to practice for tomorrow's scene in the mirror while chatting with Ye Bai until he went to bed.
Turned off the lights, Xingchen Qi sent: [Good night]
Ye Bai :【Good night, good dreams
I don't know if Ye Bai's blessing worked, but Xingchen Qi really had a good night's sleep. With a happy mood, he got up, dressed, and pressed two pumps of the shepherd boy.
With only enough perfume left to spray until the middle of next month, he begged Ran An to help him get another bottle on Taobao.
Ran An skillfully identified the item: "How many milliliters do you want?"
"The largest bottle."
"There is no need for it, in my experience, any lipstick perfume and other things can only be fresh for a month, and when the hot period passes immediately thrown into the corner to eat dust ...... Or do you have a special affinity for it?"
Xingchen Qi stopped putting on his shoes and rubbed the tips of his ears, "Buy yours, it's not like you don't pay."
"All right." Ran An smiled suggestively.
Then she suddenly shouted: " Xing Xing, look at the microblog, Fang Di Aite you!"
Big Brother is done? Xingchen Qi immediately put on his shoes and opened Weibo.
-- Fangdi Media: Yesterday, our blogger received money from an artist's manager privately and released inappropriate comments, which caused great damage to @ Xingchen Qi's reputation. We sincerely apologize for this, and we will reasonably adjust our staff structure and strengthen the restraint and control of our account in the future, so we hope you will understand.
Xingchen Qi was quite shocked when he saw this paragraph. He thought Yunxiao Qi's way of handling the matter was to force the other party to delete the tweets, as long as the tweets were deleted, Fangdi Media's side would be considered to have broken the contract, and would not only have to refund the money spent on the marketing, pay the breach of contract, but might also offend the buyer.
But I didn't expect Yunxiao Qi to be so desperate, even "a certain artist agent" has been pointed out.
Xingchen Qi opened the comment section to see the reaction of netizens.
Then he discovered that Yunxiao Qi was more than just a do-it-yourselfer.
In the comment section, a large number of netizens pointed their fingers at Sheng Xu, suggesting that a certain artist surnamed Xu was the one who paid to hack Xingchen Qi.
The caliber is uniform, clearly someone is behind the manipulation.
At this moment, in the executive suite on the 34th floor of the hotel, Sheng Xu's agent and Sheng Xu are standing and sitting around the table. Breakfast is already cold and the ashtray is full of cigarette butts.
"I told you to stay out of trouble, and now you've met a tough guy, right?" The broker closed the curtains, "Just now the boss called me a scolding, I almost lost my fucking job!"
Sheng Xu's face turned pig liver color: "Shut up!"
"You said he is the third male, you are the second male, neither pressure you position, but also not qualified to steal your scene, you always target him why ah?"
"I told you not to say anything."
Sheng Xu stood up swiftly, his forehead veins bursting. The table was driven by his sudden movement, and the small dumplings and white rice porridge spilled onto the ground, "Are you fucking deaf?"
The agent froze for a few seconds at his grimace.
He took the son of the landowner's family has taken more than two years, know Sheng Xu bad temper, but like today such a thunderous time rarely seen.
"I can't stand the way he pretends to be serious, so what! I can't stand it when the director praises him in front of Tao Tao! I just want to screw him so what! And ......"
"And what?"
"And, and ......"
Sheng Xu "and" twice, without "and" the second half of the sentence.
His eyes cleared for a moment, and then returned to his usual arrogant and domineering look, "No and, go send me a statement, say that this matter is Xingchen Qi self-directed and self-acting fever, deliberately throwing dirty water black me!"
