In fact, Xi Nian himself didn’t know, what kind of answer he was looking for after tirelessly1[bù yàn qí fán]: not to mind taking the trouble/ be very patient. putting forward all kinds of hypotheses. He raised Lu Xingzhe’s head with a little effort, then clasped the back of his head and kissed him, giving a slightly soothing kiss until their lips were warm and no longer cold.
Xi Nian had inherently been a quiet person, whenever he had too many words to say, in those times he could only rely upon actions to express it.
When Xi Nian kissed Lu Xingzhe before, Lu Xingzhe would laugh so much and even his eyes would narrow down in glee, but this time, he didn’t respond at all. Xi Nian’s well-defined hand caressed his back and lowered his eyes to ask: “What’s wrong?”
After his indifferent voice was deliberately lowered, it would always give people the illusion of being gentle to the bone.
Lu Xingzhe shook his head, put his arms around Xi Nian’s neck, and buried his face in his embrace without saying a word.
This kind of Lu Xingzhe’s appearance was rare, and it seemed that he was really unhappy.
Xi Nian picked him up in that position, and as he passed the switch, he turned off the light. The room suddenly fell into pitch black, and Lu Xingzhe’s body tightened for an instant. He immediately felt himself being thrown onto the bed, and then the man’s robust body pressed against him.
Knowing what would happen next, he instinctively hugged Xi Nian.
The man was a bit too gentle this time, the hot kiss fell lightly on his body, arousing a rippling itch. Lu Xingzhe unconsciously clenched the bed sheet under him, feeling a pair of slender hands holding his face, and then Xi Nian’s familiar voice sounded in his ear: “Why are you unhappy?”
With wide eyes, Lu Xingzhe glared.
Fuck, you like other women, am I supposed to be happy about that?
At this point, he had completely chosen to ignore the hypothetical connotation of the word ‘if’, and his heart was bubbling with sourness. He refused to speak and quietly pursed his lips under the cover of darkness.
Before Lu Xingzhe met Xi Nian, he thought that anything could be snatched and anything could be destroyed. Just like the toy candy he got in the orphanage when he was a child一if he didn’t have it, he wouldn’t let also others have it.
But at a certain moment, he suddenly realized that some things and people couldn’t be taken away or destroyed.
Even if Lu Xingzhe didn’t say anything, Xi Nian could still know what he was thinking. Just like every night in the previous days, Lu Xingzhe’s eyes turned red, his voice trembled, and finally, his voice became hoarse, but he still liked to curl up in Xi Nian’s arms.
Xi Nian pulled up the quilt, wrapped it around Lu Xingzhe’s body, and then slightly ran his fingers over his body. In a daze, he seemed to say something, and his voice continued as normal: “I don’t like it.”
Lu Xingzhe always paid special attention to his words and deeds, and asked, “What?”
Xi Nian said, “I don’t like her.”
Of course, it referred to Qiao Zhi.
He probably rarely had taken the initiative to explain anything, especially when the person in front of him is still Lu Xingzhe, which always made him feel a bit awkward. After saying this sentence, Xi Nian didn’t make a sound again, but the eyes of the person in his arms lit up all of a sudden.
“Tsk, I knew you didn’t like her.”
The complacency in Lu Xingzhe seemed to be back again, he wrapped his arms around Xi Nian’s waist. With a smile in his dark eyes, he bit Xi Nian’s earlobe with his teeth, and bit a little hard, causing it to be itching and painful: “You’d have to like me even if you did.”
It wasn’t like Lu Xingzhe’s thick-skin2[liǎn pí hòu]: thick-skinned/shameless. was a day or two old, Xi Nian who was aware of it, grabbed his waist and tightened his strength suddenly: “Are you so confident?”
Lu Xingzhe’s body was shaking with a smile as if he was not afraid of pain. He whispered into Xi Nian’s ear and said, “Use more force, strangle me if you have the ability…”
He seemed to really want to die in Xi Nian’s arms.
Xi Nian always thought that he was eccentric enough, but he didn’t expect Lu Xingzhe to be even crazier. He carried the crazier person in his arms to the bathroom to clean up, after which they laid back on the bed, hoping that this ancestor3Little ancestor is a term that a parent uses to blame or complain about his/her naughty child so it became became synonymous to call someone who was willful and hard to serve/please. could calm down and sleep well.
Xi Nian went to the gym to exercise for the whole day, so he was inevitably a little sleepy. However, Lu Xingzhe couldn’t sleep because of the “don’t like” Xi Nian just said. He tossed and turned in bed, thinking of something, and quietly got out of bed in his pyjamas in the middle of the night.
In a daze, Xi Nian heard a slight movement in the room. He almost thought that a thief had entered, but when he opened his eyes, he saw that Lu Xingzhe was helping him pack his luggage.
The flight was scheduled for tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock, so it was inevitable that he would be in a hurry to pack his luggage after waking up. While Lu Xingzhe thought that he loved to do whatever work he did. He used to be conscientious when he was a paparazzi, but now he was even more diligent when he was Xi Nian’s assistant.
After all, Xi Nian was so messy, if he didn’t help him, who would help him?
Going to city C to record a program and staying for at most three days, Lu Xingzhe checked the weather there and found that the temperature would drop. Then using his phone to light up, he picked up a coat from Xi Nian’s wardrobe and packed some daily necessities, thinking that there should be nothing left out.
He squatted next to the suitcase, counting the contents one by one, so engrossed that he didn’t even know when Xi Nian got out of bed一until, suddenly a strong body was stuck behind him, and someone hugged his waist. Only then did Lu Xingzhe tremble with fright as if he had done something wrong.
“!!!”
Lu Xingzhe swore that he did not even feel so scared when he was caught while secretly taking pictures as a paparazzi.
Xi Nian was weary, his voice was still low and sleepy, with his chin resting on Lu Xingzhe’s shoulder, he closed his eyes and asked him, “Are you packing?”
It was late at night, most people were asleep, only the night view outside the high ceiling window was still shining, and the high-rise buildings seemed to be endless at a glance.
Lu Xingzhe trembled when he heard the words: “Did I wake you up?”
Fuck, I should have known to pack tomorrow.
After he finished speaking, he pulled the suitcase to put things in twos and threes, and he didn’t care about some things that hadn’t been stuffed in. He seemed a little flustered until a soft kiss fell on his cheek at some point which caused his movements to stop abruptly.
Lu Xingzhe and Xi Nian have done everything they should and shouldn’t have done, even the lingering and passionate kiss. The kiss that fell on his face just now could even be called pure tenderness, but it happened to make Lu Xingzhe’s heart skip a beat.
His voice stuttered a little, and he wanted Xi Nian to go to bed: “Okay… let’s tidy up tomorrow, you go to bed first.”
A person who was shrewd and cunning in the past suddenly became unreasonably clumsy at this moment.
Xi Nian didn’t speak, he just felt as if whenever he turned his head, he should always be to see Lu Xingzhe’s figure. So, he stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around Lu Xingzhe’s cool body and then pulled him up from the ground.
“一sleep together.”
Xi Nian hugged Lu Xingzhe to the bed and then covered their bodies with a thin quilt, which had both of their lost warmth. Suddenly, at this moment, their hearts which were accustomed to feeling lonely, felt that being accompanied at such times was not bad.
“…”
Lu Xingzhe couldn’t sleep at first, but after Xi Nian kissed him, he couldn’t sleep even more.
#Suffering#
Fortunately, he didn’t have a regular routine before. The next day, when he arrived in C city by plane with Xi Nian, he was in good spirits. The agency had publicly announced the itinerary of the artist, so when he got off the plane, many fans were waiting outside to pick him up. Upon a closer look, it seemed that there were a lot of people4[ wū yāng yāng ]: Literary translates to dark grandness, and the meaning is to refer to streets/areas that are overcrowded and exquisite., who were divided into three groups, and the security guards were trying their best to maintain order. It was heard that Bai Yicheng and Qiao Zhi were also on today’s flight, but they were half an hour later than Xi Nian, therefore, more than half of these fans belong to their fan support.
It was not difficult to see artists in the entertainment industry wherever they were going, but it would take several years to find their own style orientation. Xi Nian’s private clothes were mostly black and white, which vaguely reflected his indifferent temperament. With a pair of sunglasses, he was not like any little fresh meat5Little fresh meat is a Chinese Internet buzzword used to describe handsome young men. It is most commonly used to refer to male celebrities, particularly rising stars., he was not only lean, tall, and with a wide-shouldered and narrow waist, but also had an overall solid male model figure and aura.
As soon as he appeared in sight of everyone, it seemed that an illusion happened that this was not an airport, but a high-end runway show.
There was no other reason, Xi Nian’s individual style (presence) was too strong, and in the entertainment industry, it was rare to see such a handsome man with such a godly figure. Therefore, as long as people would see him with their own eyes, it was basically difficult to forget him.
Xi Nian’s fans, who came to receive him after he landed from the plane, were boiling after seeing their idol. Was such a handsome Zǎi Zǎi6[Zǎi Zǎi] is a term that means son, or cub/young animal. actually from their family?! Wuwu Wuwu, did he want us (fans) to have nosebleeds and swelling!
[Ah, ah ah, Zǎi Zǎi come here!!! Hello, so handsome, Wuwuwu!!!]
[Zǎi Zǎi come here! Let Mom7In case you guys don’t know, there are different categories in which fans within fandoms are divided, i.e.: mom fans, and girlfriend/boyfriend fans. As the name suggests, the mom fans consider the idol they follow as their ‘son’ and care for him like an older figure. take a look at you!!]
[Zǎi Zǎi City C is very cold, be careful not to catch a cold!]
Lu Xingzhe was wearing a mask, and when he saw this, he poked Xi Nian and motioned him to look over. So, when Xi Nian turned around, he saw a group of young girls whose average age was only in their early twenties, calling him Zǎi Zǎi with boiling enthusiasm8[rè xuè fèi téng]: make one’s blood boil or one’s blood boils with indignation, it also means burning with righteous indignation.—vying to be his Mom and looking at him with kind eyes like a grandma who would give red envelopes to children during the Chinese New Year.
Seeing that they were waving to him, Xi Nian took off his sunglasses and walked over. His handsome and cool face was instantly exposed to the air, and the impact was definitely more intuitive than on the screen.
For instance, Bai Yicheng fans next door, who were too stunned to speak after seeing Xi Nian’s handsomeness: “…”
Fuck, as a real person, wasn’t Xi Nian a little too handsome?
Xi Nian’s fans waved wildly at Xi Nian, with a tongue-tied expression that resembled a heartbroken old mother.
“Zǎi Zǎi, it’s too difficult to decode the secret room. If you don’t know how to do it, remember to follow Teacher Min. He is honest and will not cheat you. Then, maybe you can pass the test.”
“Zǎi Zǎi, you must protect yourself. When you appear on the show, don’t make a big splash. If you make a mistake, netizens will scold you again. We feel sorry when people scold you, but we can’t scold them back, it’s embarrassing.”
“Zǎi Zǎi, anyway, we’re not at scolding, so it’s a good thing to keep a low profile, if you don’t know how to play, you won’t be ashamed, anyway, you’re not the only one who can’t play, I love you, woo woo woo, and have a good journey.”
Xi Nian never imagined that they called him over to say that. Facing the eager gaze of his fans, he remained silent for a few seconds, then put on his sunglasses and turned away.
The fans of Qiao Zhi and Bai Yicheng’s family were right next to them. After hearing this conversation, they endured and endured, but they couldn’t hold it back. In the end, they all held their stomachs and almost peed in laughter. They almost couldn’t even hold their support banners securely.
Damn it, Xi Nian was too unlucky to have such fans!
#Suddenly, feel sorry for him, what’s wrong with his fans#
After leaving the airport, the staff of the Decoding the secret room program group had already arranged a car to pick up the artist and drop them at the hotel where they were staying. Lu Xingzhe played the role of a taciturn and low-key assistant dutifully from the beginning to the end, and finally took off his mask when he got in the car—he covered his face with a hat and shook with laughter.
Xi Nian stared at the driver in the front row, then without looking back, he took away the hat from Lu Xingzhe’s hand, pressed the back of his neck, and pressed the man on his legs.
Lu Xingzhe didn’t dare to speak out, but he struggled several times but couldn’t get up, so finally chose to give up. He reluctantly turned his head to look at Xi Nian, with a pitiful smile in his eyes, as if begging for mercy.
Seeing this, Xi Nian loosened his hands and was about to let him go, but Lu Xingzhe silently opened his lips and said, “Zǎi Zǎi, I was wrong.”
After speaking, he buried his face between his legs, laughing so hard that his whole body twitched.
Xi Nian: “…”
After arriving at the hotel where they were staying, the program team booked a private room for all the guests to have dinner together so that they could get to know each other. Xi Nian had just unpacked his luggage, and not long after, Qiao Zhi and Bai Yicheng also arrived.
The staff knocked on the door to remind them and delivered tomorrow’s program script along the way. Xi Nian thanked them and closed the door. Lu Xingzhe was lying in bed at that time, and when he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said: “Must be so happy, being able to share a table with a beautiful woman for dinner.”
Xi Nian still remembered that Lu Xingzhe laughed a lot at him just now, leaning against the bed, while reading the script, he said: “Well, I’m happy.”
Hearing this, Lu Xingzhe bit his fingertips, glanced at him with a smile, then crawled to his side like a small animal. He directly pulled out the script from his hand, and sat on Xi Nian’s as face to face: “Are you angry?”
Xi Nian was not angry, he just couldn’t figure it out, obviously, his fans in his previous life were quite normal, but why were they not normal in this life? So, he shook his head and said, “No.”
Lu Xingzhe rubbed against his chin: “Zǎi Zǎi…”
Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked off by Xi Nian.
Lu Xingzhe: “…”
Sure enough, it was all fucking fake.
