"Come on up, give you a ride."

Lightly spoken, the visitor's attitude was casual.

Xi Gu's pupils shrank slightly.

Did he recognize me?

Or ...... deliberately scammed me?

Hanqi Wu is a person who knows the art of language, and Xi Gu notices that there is no subject in that sentence.

Xi Gu was full of tension and forced himself to calm down and analyze as soon as possible.

He worked with an international special effects team in Neon, one of the teams that worked on the character design of Avatar, and although he was only on the periphery, he learned some real skills.

Even if someday, want to slightly change the features, it is not too difficult, but most of the time there is no need for that.

Today, because of time constraints, the makeup is a bit perfunctory. Jing Rong also suspected it only after close observation. Xi Gu paid attention to the surroundings, black lights, below the mountain path is still a large forest, only a few street lamps glowing light.

Can Hanqi Wu see him in this dark environment?

"Thanks, I think I'll just walk on by myself." In a flash of lightning, Xi Gu decided to take a gamble, betting that the other party did not recognize her.

"This is not close to the city, how long will you walk alone." Hanqi Wu nodded, just persuaded.

Bet on it.

Xi Gu slightly relieved, squeezed the palm of the cold sweat just now, fortunately did not do not hit themselves.

I don't even know if Hanqi Wu said that on purpose, I almost fell for it.

Hanqi Wu doesn't look like he would force people, he is a very gentleman.

I think so, there are so many people who come and go every day, he doesn't have to force anyone.

"If you walk by yourself, you can exercise your body." Xi Gu smiled and still refused.

If you look closely, Xi Gu's body trembles slightly.

See the other car did not leave, always slow to follow their own, the heart again raised up.

Xi Gu wondered why this section of the mountain road was so long.

He was particularly hopeful at this point that the ability to read minds would come online again. No one knew he had an ability to hear the hearts of others, except that this ability, like his rut, was very unstable, going online and offline without warning.

A few years ago, he was kidnapped into a villa and tried his best to preserve his innocence by burning the twine to escape from the villa in a self-destructive way. Hanqi Wu saved him on the way to escape, and it was Hanqi Wu who pressured to suppress the news of his kidnapping and sent the madman to a sanatorium.

Before and after Hanqi Wu helped him three times when it mattered, he should be grateful, but he was only grateful but did not want to get close.

Why would it be so coincidental that this person would appear when he was in trouble.

At that time, his mind-reading ability was not yet offline, and he concentrated on trying to listen to Hanqi Wu's mind.

But after several attempts, they failed.

No, this person does not have a heartbeat.

What kind of person would not want anything in his heart.

That's not a person, it's a god or ...... devil.

Hanqi Wu did not insist on it, probably because he could see Xi Gu's nervousness.

"Then, you pay attention to safety, now Beta out and about is also dangerous."

It's like really just a passerby who saw him walking alone on the mountain trail and was kind enough to help out.

Since the ungrateful, and will not entangle, spontaneous very.

After watching Hanqi Wu's car leave, Xi Gu's tense spirit slowly relaxed.

Really go away, is it a misunderstanding of him?

In fact Hanqi Wu did not do anything bad to him, just because he did not hear the heart, he keeps suspecting each other, seems a bit too much?

This is not the first time Hanqi Wu has seen Xi Gu in disguise, and he has been seen at several parties in Shanghai before.

He has very high principles, yet is loyal and persistent to his loved ones. This is a little orchid that is never willing to compromise no matter how much others oppress it, and only slowly cultivated and carefully cared for can it blossom into the most beautiful flower.

Looking in the rearview mirror, Xi Gu stayed in the same place tangled look, and took out his phone to look at the red dot farther and farther away.

Smiling lightly, he put the phone back into his pocket.

When Ling Xie arrived at the parking lot, she saw a large silly dog lying on the car door, barking as if to say open the door.

Ling Xie remembered that this Labrador used to go around when he saw his little brother, the sun came out of the west?

Letting the maid pull the silly dog away, he entered the car and saw his brother slumped breathlessly on the passenger seat.

"Take it away, what are you afraid of." Ling Xie look little brother that wimpy hide in the look, and good and funny.

"Today did not take anti-allergy medicine." Jing Rong said helplessly that the original world his house, as far as friends are concerned, like an animal world, and most of them are not deliberately bought by him, are picked up on the road, and then have to go home with him.

When they got home, they stayed put.

His family always laughs at him, always picking up strange things home.

Zhou rang consciously sat in the back seat, leaving space for the two brothers who had been separated for a long time.

Jing Rong looked at Ling Xie, suddenly thought of the original owner in this world should be completely dead, if he returned to the original world, this body will instantly stop the heartbeat, then Ling Xie is not even the brother is gone.

"Brother, if I die ......" In fact, just now roughly recalled the plot, Jing Rong did not find in the memory of the original owner where, this will not be a complete and utter Roadrunner it.

Ling Xie turned his head sharply to look at him, his gaze motionless, death-staring.

Jing Rong immediately shut up: "No, it's nothing."

Ling Xie frowned tightly and drove out for a while before saying, "Don't say such unlucky words in the future, I don't want to hear them."

Jing Rong saw Ling Xie's fiercely taut mouth and nodded slowly, "Good."

Today's banquet, from start to finish, as the original owner's mother did not even greet, let alone see the difference between him and the original owner, his original fears look a little ridiculous.

Jing Rong never expected that Ling Xie, who was not close in memory, would be more concerned.

People, indeed, are creatures that cannot be taken at face value.

As they were descending, Jing Rong saw a lone figure walking to the bus stop at the bottom of the hill.

It seems to be the waiter who cooperated well, but Ling Xie quickly turned the corner, and Jing Rong did not look closely.

Ever since Xi Gu decided to take a leave of absence, she has been bombarded with phone calls from her manager. When Xi Gu got on the phone, she heard a tirade from the other party: "Are you crazy? Do you want us to support you?"

"I'm tired and want to rest, just for a week." Xi Gu pressed his racing heart and counted that he hadn't slept for more than 60 hours. He took out the coenzyme q10 from his carry-on medicine bag, gave himself one, took a sip of water and swallowed it.

"And a week, not even a day! You see if the A and the investors are willing to give you a break!"

"The money I owed you guys before, I've already paid it off." Some time ago, his agent wanted him to go to a dinner party to hook up with a big shot, and when he refused, the other party bit him like a rabid dog and wouldn't let go. Plus his contract was about to expire, the other party took the opportunity to give him work, hating to squeeze the last bit of value out of him.

"You don't forget the agreement you signed with us at the beginning, once you default and miss work, the price of compensation is 10 times, you just bought a house some time ago, right, is the monthly mortgage enough? By the way, you have to pay for your brother's college, the tuition fee in M country is very high, right?" The broker Qi Yang coldly smiled, very understand the truth of pinching the snake pinch seven inches.

Xi Gu's contract was signed many years ago, when the family was in difficulty, the younger sister disappeared, the father committed suicide by jumping off a building, and the mother left the three siblings behind after taking all the money left in the family.

With a huge debt, he signed an extremely unequal contract, the company took away most of his pay, and his agent took away a portion, leaving him with less than a tenth of his own.

"Get it, still naive? Understand it, then hurry up and roll back, I'm waiting for you at your home now, tomorrow morning on I received a magazine cover for you, it's a team from D, a lot of farts, I'll talk about the requirements in advance."

The agent's voice was still echoing in his ears, but Xi Gu took the phone away and covered his heart, which was not beating so fast, and the weakness of his body intensified his outburst, and he suddenly wanted to forget about it, not to tolerate it.

"I don't want the house, I will sell it, the money should be enough to fill the default." Shangjing's house is inching up in value all the way up, "Even if it's not enough, I can make an IOU, and if you don't want to, then sue me."

After saying this, Xi Gu hung up the phone and blacked out his agent's number.

At this time the night bus came, Xi Gu swiped his card on board, picked a seat and sat down, no longer the hard-hearted dash on the phone, his eyes were a bit confused looking at the receding scenery, the foggy forest is like a giant beast that can devour people at any time.

Ling Xie still has to go to Jicheng Xie, the second youngest of the Xie family, and wants to send Jing Rong back to the Xie family's main residence first.

Jing Rong suddenly thought of the original owner's pink room in the main residence and fearfully refused, "I'll stay somewhere else."

Ling Xie thought that his younger brother would not want to mess with him again, because he had always been so unhappy in previous years. Do you want to mess with the family again?

When the original owner followed his mother to the Xie family, Ling Xie always thought that the new brother is Omega, because look Lianmei Han so soft, instinctively thought that the brother will be very soft and sticky, did not expect an Alpha brother, a little surprised, but the room is loaded are loaded.

He asked the original owner if she wanted to redecorate, and when she didn't answer, Ling Xie assumed that she really liked pink.

Ling Xie is a have one to say one, simply do not understand the original owner that soft and sensitive mind, in fact, the original owner does not like at all, just do not dare to express an opinion.

Jing Rong said he, like the original owner, still prefers other colors that are more suitable for boys.

Ling Xie is also a bit embarrassed, he used to really think that his little brother is very girly, this misunderstanding has continued until now.

"In the future, if there's anything you don't like, just say so and don't make me guess."

Jing Rong nodded, if the pair of brothers can communicate more, many misunderstandings are unnecessary, right?

Ling Xie dropped Jing Rong off near the Lier Xie hotel, put him down and poked his head out, "Your room at home will be redecorated, you'll stay at Lier Xie for the time being." Other places, he is not at ease.

The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.

Such a strong approach, very Ling Xie.

Jing Rong walks into a 24-hour convenience store and he wants to go in and buy some candy. The original owner became addicted to cigarettes and alcohol after being dumped by Ying Qi.

Alcohol addiction can quit a little, just in the car this body's smoking addiction suddenly committed, his throat a little itchy.

Ready to buy a few lollipops and kick that addiction.

After coming out, Jing Rong waited for the red light on the sidewalk.

When I saw the green light, I didn't think much of it and went forward.

Until he took a few steps out, when suddenly a strong force pushed him away from behind him and he fell to the ground.

The foggy vision ended when Jing Rong saw a car narrowly parked not far in front of him, only a few centimeters away from being crushed!

The driver of the car was cursing and swearing, and if the Alpha behind him hadn't pushed him, he would have been close to being run over just now.

Jing Rong looked again at the traffic light ahead, where the light had been red and was just now jumping green.

No, I just saw a green light.

What's going on.

Jing Rong couldn't figure out what was going on and turned around to thank the kind Alpha before walking back to the hotel.

He is holding a black diamond VIP card given by Ling Xie, which enables him to stay in a presidential room. Jing Rong was checking in, and the person next to him was asking the front desk for a private presidential room, because the last one was reserved for Jing Rong, and there were not many private presidential rooms in total, and there were important events nearby in the past few days, so many rooms were booked.

The receptionist said he was sorry if he could change to a business suite, and this person was a little hesitant.

Jing Rong is actually indifferent to what room, the infinite pampering of his family in his previous life has made him relatively inactive about most things.

If you give it to someone else, Ling Xie can still make another profit, not to make money.

"Here you go, I'll just take a regular room."

The man turned his head to thank Jing Rong and instantly recognized him: "Ah, young master Xie, hello again."

Jing Rong did not know the other party, and the other party was not embarrassed, they just met at the banquet, but a person of Jing Rong's status would not remember a small person like him, so the other party immediately explained: "I am one of Hanqi Wu Dong Wu's assistants, Dong Wu is staying at this hotel today, he is still out I came here to book a room first."

Just as Feiyu Wu would come to Xie's to book a hotel, the Wu family has its own hotel, just not as professional as Xie's. The two families have maintained a long and good relationship, and Hanqi Wu would book Xie's hotel if he came to Shangjing to show such friendliness.

Jing Rong nodded, can fish a little is a little, let your Wu family out of bleeding quite well.

After greeting the other man and going upstairs, he was still thinking about the hallucination of the traffic light he had just seen, he was pretty sure he saw a green light, he had very good eyesight.

Jing Rong didn't notice, the lobby manager not far away watched Jing Rong walk into the elevator and made a phone call.

*

Xi Gu did not go home and now his agent is waiting for him at home.

He missed his family and wanted to draw a little motivation.

I couldn't help but call my little brother overseas, and only after I called did I remember that my little brother is in class at this point, and it's daytime in M. Xi Gu Sure enough, I heard the American conversation in the background over there, with some technical terms, and it should be the teacher talking on the podium.

Xi Gu rarely calls at this time, his brother nervously asked him if there was something urgent about calling at this time.

Xi Gu also said that if there was not enough money, he would say that his brother had made a lot of money.

My brother also understands and says that there is a scholarship, but instead Xi Gu does not work hard despite his body.

Xi Gu hung up the phone with a few soft words of advice because her brother was still in class.

Xi Gu also called Hongyi Guan, who was on set and had a few night scenes to catch up on, and the noise around him was very loud.

"Over there, props can not be put there, who is responsible for crushing people!" After the angry scolding, and asked Xi Gu , "What's wrong, call me so late, where are you now?"

Xi Gu froze, suddenly realized what, originally to ask the words also turned a corner, smiled and said: "almost home, just a phone call to talk."

Friends, too, have their own careers and lives.

"So Yang Pai Pi is actually willing to let you go to rest?"

"I really don't want to anymore, he can't force me."

After a few minutes of conversation, Xi Gu hangs up the phone, his smile slowly fading.

He stood in the night breeze, looking around at the tall buildings, the ever-changing sci-fi lights, the colored light screens playing on the buildings, the busy roads, lining him very small.

Suddenly I felt that this huge Shangjing, there is actually no place that can make him feel at ease.

He has never, it seems, had a place he could call home.

Xi Gu blinked, forcing back the heat that had risen to his eyes.

Suddenly, Jing Rong's back was seen from afar. Jing Rong was not as star-studded as at Xie's party and walked into Lier Xie alone.

By the time he returned to his senses, he was already at the front desk. Xi Gu looked around in amazement at how he had followed him in.

The receptionist looked at him, who had been unresponsive, with a smile, "Sir, how can I help you?"

The receptionist didn't look down on him because he was wearing waiter's clothes and remained very polite, which is probably one of the reasons why this hotel was able to rise from the dead after it was acquired.

Xi Gu hesitated for a long time and finally lowered the brim of his hat: "...... give me a room."
