TL: Hua
After the two chatted, neither wanted to end it. Holding the phone, they always felt that they should say something more.
Xun Qian stood on the balcony of the bedroom, leaning against the railing and asking, “Where is the event tomorrow afternoon?”
Qi Xiaoyu provided the address of a fountain restaurant on Changle Road.
Xun Qian knows that this place is the famous Lover’s Road in the city, which has always been famous for literary and artistic romance. The Chinese parasol trees along the road are tall and luxuriant. There are gardens, lawns, cafes, and restaurants on the roadside. The paintings and graffiti on the walls are all stories related to love. There is also a mailbox with a heart-shaped postmark on the roadside.
He vaguely remembered that when he was very young, his sister took him to buy ice cream on that road.
At that time, their nanny accompanied them and told them the story of the mailbox. She said that the mailbox has existed for hundreds of years. It has existed since the beginning of the postal system in S City. Moreover, throughout the country, only the mailbox here can stamp a heart-shaped postmark; that’s why many lovers will come here to send a love letter and keep it as a memento.
After listening to this, Xun Qian thought for a moment and then said, “I’ll pick you up after the event tomorrow.”
Qi Xiaoyu thought about it, and just as he was about to say yes, he remembered that Xun Qian had not been to the hospital since the Mid-Autumn Festival and hurriedly reminded him, “No, you still need rehabilitation; go to the hospital first; if I finish early, I will come to the hospital to see you.”
Xun Qian smiled slightly, deliberately lowered his voice, and said slowly, “That road is most suitable for a date. Don’t you want to go on a date with me?”
Qi Xiaoyu felt his throat tighten and his face heat up, but reason restrained his emotions.
He swallowed his saliva to speak normally, but his voice was half a degree lower than usual. “No, your rehabilitation is more important.”
“…” Xun Qian paused, and his heart was instantly filled with mixed feelings. If there were other people present at this time, they would definitely be surprised that Xun Qian could still have such a rich expression.
Well, it’s the doctor’s fault for describing his condition as so serious. Now it’s possible for him to say he got better so soon.
After a pause, he regained his voice, “If you coax me, I will go to the hospital tomorrow.”
Qi Xiaoyu was standing by the window to enjoy the evening breeze. Now, as if afraid of being overheard by Xun Qian, he quickly closed the window and drew the curtains. He leaned against the window with his heart pounding. “How do you want me to coax you?”
Xun Qian’s voice was rustling with an indescribable charm. Every word he uttered made people’s heartbeats faster: “Baby, call me husband.”
Huh…
In the silent night, there was only the breathing sound of the two people.
“No… I won’t talk to you anymore.”
It took Qi Xiaoyu a while to come to his senses. He bit the tip of his tongue and then said, “I… I have to get up early tomorrow, so I’ll go to bed first.”
Xun Qian’s low laughter came from the other side.
Qi Xiaoyu said good night, hung up the phone, threw it away, and fled into the bathroom like a fly.
****
At night, both of them slept a little late.
As a result, Qi Xiaoyu’s makeup effect was not as good as before when he woke up the next day, and he still had some dark circles under his eyes.
The makeup artist kindly comforted him, “Are you too tired from filming? Why are your dark circles so heavy? You should talk to Director Wang and request a few days off.”
The makeup artist’s enthusiasm made Qi Xiaoyu even more embarrassed. He could only try to smile and cope with it.
At that time, Qi Xiaoyu kept this lesson in mind. It’s not appropriate to keep talking to Xun Qian on the phone before going to bed in the future, especially to talk about something so ambiguous.
His work schedule today is to film until three o’clock in the afternoon and then participate in a real-time interactive interview with the crew of “The Evil.” During the interview, in addition to interactive Q&A with the host, he will also answer fans’ questions online.
A private event at five or six o’clock is Jiang Sicheng’s proposal ceremony.
That’s right, after so many years of pursuit, Jiang Sicheng finally captured the person’s heart. A few days ago, on the day of Star Entertainment’s opening ceremony, after the night party, he very gentlemanly sent her home and carefully confessed his feelings. This action ruffled Xue Qingchu’s heart, and she agreed to date him at last.
The dating process went smoothly, so Jiang Sicheng couldn’t wait to start the proposal process.
Qi Xiaoyu still remembered the situation when Jiang Sicheng called him a few days ago.
At first, Jiang Sicheng said casually, “Do me a favor.”
When Qi Xiaoyu asked him what he wanted, the other party became hesitant. “I want… that… I want…”
Without Jiang Sicheng continuing to speak, Qi Xiaoyu was 100% sure that it was related to Xue Qingchu just from his tone.
Qi Xiaoyu interrupted him deliberately, pretending not to know, “What do you want to do?”
Jiang Sicheng’s voice was a little shy: “I want to propose to Qingqing.”
Qi Xiaoyu smiled and said, “Oh, then what do you need me to do for you?”
“That… Isn’t Qingqing in the same crew with you now? You should be very clear about her schedule.”
“That’s right.”
“What are you guys doing tomorrow?”
“Filming.”
“Of course I know that you’re filming.” Jiang Sicheng was anxious, but because he had to ask for help, he didn’t dare to yell at Qi Xiaoyu, feeling aggrieved and annoyed. “You guys are, of course, filming every day. What I want to know is what time you finish.”
“Oh, let me think.”
“Qi Xiaoyu!” Jiang Sicheng was anxious and raised his voice on the phone, “Hurry up!”
Qi Xiaoyu had teased him enough and just said, “I’m filming until three o’clock tomorrow. She’s been doing the scene opposite me recently, so she should be finished at around the same time.”
“Then… find a reason to help me invite her to the Fountain Restaurant on Changle Road.”
He also reminded, “Don’t let it slip; if Qingqing knows, my surprise will be all for nothing!”
Qi Xiaoyu smiled and agreed.
Jiang Sicheng repeated his instructions, desperately requesting that he had to accompany him all the way, cheering him on, and asking him to wear a suit, “but don’t dress more handsome than me.”
Jiang Sicheng said the last sentence with great force.
Qi Xiaoyu smiled, “I’ll try my best.”
After a while, he received a bunch of pictures from Jiang Sicheng, all of which were pictures of the venue layout.
The photo shows a pure white dream world, with white balloons, white curtains, white hearts, and white sculptures that say “Marry Me,” with occasional golden balloons and ribbons in between, romantic and not tacky.
It can be seen that a lot of thought was put into it.
Jiang Sicheng was quite happy. “Not bad, right?”
“Remember that only I can wear white tomorrow, and you all have to wear dark colors.”
Qi Xiaoyu was more than happy to comply.
****
At the moment, Qi Xiaoyu was sitting in the studio waiting for the interview to begin. His cell phone rang twice. Jiang Sicheng had sent him another photo. It was the latest site map. The flowers had been decorated, the three-layer white cake was in place, and the candles were also inserted.
Jiang Sicheng couldn’t wait to ask, “How is it? Do you think there are any problems? Tell me as soon as you and Qingqing set off at 5:30!”
Qi Xiaoyu sent a quick reply, and the interview started as soon as he put his cell phone back in his pocket.
There were four people in the interview room, including the host, Wang Mingge, Cui Jing, and Qi Xiaoyu.
When the movie was filmed, Qi Xiaoyu was only the second male lead.
But now, during the interview, his position was arranged directly next to the host.
The reason for this arrangement was, first, because of his current identity; in addition to being an artist, he was also the boss of an entertainment company.
Second, it was naturally because of Xun Qian.
When sitting down, Qi Xiaoyu took the initiative to sit at the side, but Cui Jing refused and insisted on inviting Qi Xiaoyu to the center position.
Cui Jing was originally in Feichi Media, an entertainment company under Mao Company. But the current situation was that the people of Feichi Media have basically been merged into Orange Juice Entertainment.
In terms of public and private, how dare Cui Jing let Qi Xiaoyu sit in the position below her? If the big boss saw it, she would be in trouble.
Cui Jing’s worries were indeed correct. That afternoon, their big boss did watch Qi Xiaoyu’s live interview at home.
Xun Qian moved the laptop to one side of the desk, and the iPad was placed in the center.
The iPad shows today’s interview.
On the carpet of his bedroom, White-browed Hero was playing with a colorful chewing ball with bells, fiddling with it with his paws and biting it with his mouth, making the whole room full of tiny jingling sounds.
When he heard Qi Xiaoyu’s voice in the room, he pressed the bell ball with his front paws, raised his head, and looked around for Qi Xiaoyu.
After going back and forth several times and finding that it was a scam, he concentrated on playing with the bell ball again.
The topic of the interview was the recently popular movie “The Evil,” but the host cueed Qi Xiaoyu the most.
Qi Xiaoyu could see that the host wanted to ask about his personal relationship the most.
But due to some well-known reasons, the host didn’t dare to ask directly but could only hold it in and talk about other topics.
At the request of the host, Qi Xiaoyu sang the theme song of the movie and also talked about some interesting things that happened in the crew during the filming, naturally guiding the topic of the movie, so that the whole studio was kept in laughter.
The host was extremely pleased.
She had thought that with Qi Xiaoyu’s current status and background, it was normal for him to be a little difficult to deal with, but she never expected that Qi Xiaoyu was more easy-going than most artists, responding to every request and answering every question.
And he was very gentlemanly. When she stood up to get something just now, Qi Xiaoyu helped her hold the chair for fear that she would fall.
Xun Qian was working while watching the live broadcast. Qi Xiaoyu was wearing a slightly cinched black suit today, with a button fastened to his waist, which accentuated his slender waist and slender figure.
Qi Xiaoyu’s performance is always so proper.
Just like Qi Xiaoyu’s interactions with others, he will not reveal his emotions too much and always gives people a sense of adequacy and stability.
His fans didn’t have to worry at all about him having a slip-up and embarrassing himself.
On the screen, most of the comments are about Qi Xiaoyu.
The fan question session has not yet arrived, but everyone can’t wait.
Finally, the basic interview was over, and it was time for the questioning session that everyone had been waiting for.
The host glanced at the question card and deliberately made a surprised expression, “Wow, it seems that everyone is very concerned about Xiaoyu’s relationship status.”
Qi Xiaoyu smiled.
Wang Mingge stole a glance at the host’s question card and deliberately asked, “Are these questions only for Xiaoyu, or do all three of us have to answer?”
Since Wang Mingge asked this, the host could only say, “Of course all three will answer.” In her heart, she thought that indeed Qi Xiaoyu’s goodwill is not faked. It seemed that everyone was very protective of him, afraid that the questions would be embarrassing or too open for him to answer.
Since all three people had to answer, the host picked some tactful questions that were suitable for the three of them.
For example, what kind of people do they like?
Wang Mingge is married, so naturally he said it’s his wife.
Cui Jing said her type is a certain popular male god.
Qi Xiaoyu’s answer was vague. He only said that he liked people who would accompany him to set off fireworks.
Others were itching to listen, but they didn’t understand what it meant, so the comments were all, “Me, me, I can set off fireworks.”
“I can, I can, choose me!”
Only Xun Qian was smiling in front of the iPad, with the corners of his mouth always raised.
Next, there were a few more questions, some about movies and some about love.
Xun Qian was getting more and more excited.
Then, the host picked a slightly bolder question and asked, “Have you ever confessed to someone you like? Don’t lie.”
Wang Mingge told a story about his wife as usual. Although it was a long time ago, it was interesting and made everyone laugh.
Cui Jing also told a story about her college days.
Then it was Qi Xiaoyu’s turn. Because Wang Mingge and Cui Jing answered in detail, he thought about it, and his ears turned red. “I have written small cards to the person I like.”
Xun Qian paused. Who did Qi Xiaoyu write a card to?! Him?
The host was also very interested. “What kind of card?”
Qi Xiaoyu spoke a little faster than usual: “I was in a hurry at the time, so I just gave them a small card that came with the cake.”
? ? ? Xun Qian felt that what Qi Xiaoyu said sounded familiar.
The host asked, “What did you write?”
“A confession.”
The host continued to ask, “What kind of confession?”
After asking, she couldn’t wait for the answer and threw out the next question, “The person who received the card must be very happy.”
At this time, Qi Xiaoyu showed a slightly disappointed expression, which was not obvious, but if you look closely, you can catch a flash of expression change.
Xun Qian paused.
He had always felt a little regretful. Although they were now of the same heart, Qi Xiaoyu had never clearly said that he liked him. He occasionally teased Qi Xiaoyu, but he never got a clear and affirmative response.
It turned out that he had written a card to himself! And it was a confession!
Where did the card go? Why didn’t he receive it?
Xun Qian suddenly looked up at White-browed Hero, who was playing with toys on the carpet.
No wonder the dog was so upset that day. He wasn’t just trying to lick the milk.
Although White-browed Hero had his back to his master, he could feel a hint of danger with his animal instinct.
His teeth suddenly stopped, and he dared not move. The jingling sound accompanying the toys also stopped.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little eerie.
