Chapter 46 Being Targeted

Xu Shi'an walked ahead first, and Fang Xin followed slowly behind him.

As Fang Xin stepped out of Xu's house, he heard a gunshot.

The inky black night was illuminated, colorful colors bloomed in the sky, and the stars were crushed and hidden in Fang Xin's eyes, just like on New Year's Eve, when he was looking at the fireworks blocked by the glass.

Fang Xin was looking at the sky, and Xu Shi'an was looking at him.

"I didn't see it clearly last time, but I see it clearly this time."

Xu Shi'an handed the gift box to Fang Xin. Fang Xin was flattered and pinched her sleeves which were too long. "Is this for me?"

"What else?" Xu Shi'an handed it to him without further ado, "This is a New Year's gift."

Fang Xin took it slowly and looked at the exquisite gift box. It was neither too big nor too small, just the right size for a piece of jewelry.

"What about me?"

Hearing this, Fang Xin raised his head and looked at Xu Shi'an in confusion. Later he realized that Xu Shi'an was asking about his gift.

"I didn't know you were going to send me off..." His voice got lower and lower, and in the end he was unable to raise his head.

"Why don't you take this back? Anyway..." He was interrupted by Xu Shi'an before he could finish his words.

"If I give it to you, it's yours. Remember to make up for it."

Xu Shi'an went back, leaving Fang Xin alone to watch the fireworks quietly, with a New Year's gift in his hand and warm clothes wrapped around him. The colorful world seemed to bloom for him alone.

"Mom and Dad, will you miss me?"

In fact, he missed his parents who were far away in the parallel universe very much. Fortunately, there was another Fang Xin to accompany them, otherwise what would they do as two lonely old people?

Thinking of this, I thought of the original owner's mother. It was a sad and happy memory. "Mother, I will fulfill your wish."

Fang Xin returned to the room and couldn't wait to open the gift box. Inside was an exquisite and expensive Rolex. He checked the official website and found out that it cost 3 million!

Too scared to wear it, he put it in a gift box and shoved it in the cupboard, hoping to sell it if he was short of money someday.

Because of the gradually easing relationship between him and Xu Shi'an, he felt much more at ease in the Xu family. From now on, he no longer had to look at Xu Shi'an's expression every day. Thinking of this, Fang Xin fell asleep happily again.

Have a good night.

After New Year's Eve, the Xu family had their own New Year greetings, and Fang Xin refused to join in the celebrations on the pretext of having to memorize the script. He would only see her a few times when someone came to the Xu residence to pay New Year's greetings.

Several of Xu Shi'an's aunts came that day. Those who married far away and those who lived closer to home all came back. Xu Shijie's parents passed away early in their lives, leaving behind a legacy.

So those who come back every year are brothers and sisters with the same father and mother. Now, they all come back with aunts, and Fang Xin inevitably has to deal with several aunts at home.

Among them, Xu Shi'an's second aunt liked Fang Xin very much. The moment she saw Fang Xin, her eyes flashed like a light bulb. She quickly walked to Fang Xin, took his hand and spoke excitedly.

"Xiao Xin, you played Su Zhongxian really well! It's just a pity about the ending..." I thought it was over, but unexpectedly, my aunt spoke again, "Give me your autograph."

Fang Xin responded enthusiastically. After all, they were fans of his dramas. He would treat those who supported him with the utmost kindness, and his second aunt was no exception.

The second aunt who got the autograph was so happy that a New Year's greeting party turned into an autograph session because of Fang Xin.

Adults and children were all surrounding Fang Xin. Xu Shi'an found it funny to see Fang Xin, who was surrounded by relatives and was fumbling to sign and reply. Looking at Fang Xin, who was blushing because she was at a loss, he felt a lot of emotions in his heart.

Perhaps it was because after spending time with Fang Xin recently, he felt that he was not the Fang Xin he had imagined. Or perhaps he was still the same younger brother with a thorny body as when he was a child.

Whenever Fang Xin called him "brother", he would think of Fang Xin who looked at him with stubborn and helpless eyes that year.

After the New Year's greetings, Xu Shijie and An Mei didn't feel tired at all, but Fang Xin felt exhausted. Xu Shi'an was quietly reading the newspaper, which made Fang Xin jealous.

"Why are it his relatives who are here, and I am the one who is tired?" Fang Xin muttered softly, but Xu Shi'an had excellent hearing, and a few words of his muttering penetrated his ears.

“Because you’re famous.”

No celebrity actor would be unhappy to hear people praising their popularity, and Fang Xin was no exception. Her tired mentality was cured by these words.

The proud little expression could not be concealed, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised in satisfaction, and Xu Shiyan's heart skipped a beat.

Time passed quickly, and Fang Xin was about to start filming "Cold Winter". When An Mei knew that Fang Xin was going out of town to film, she contacted people in that place, fearing that Fang Xin would be wronged there.

Fang Xin was simply at a loss for words, "Auntie An, don't worry. I'm old enough to take care of myself. Don't worry."

After Fang Xin's repeated assurances, An Mei was still very worried, but she finally felt more relieved.

Xu Shian, who received the message from his mother in private, was silent for a long time after reading the message. An Mei asked him to find a reliable person to pick up Fang Xin, saying that he was famous now and Jazz's bodyguards could not protect him at all. She asked him to find a few people to secretly watch Fang Xin from behind, just in case.

Before the filming, Fang Xin suddenly received two social engagement messages. One was about a dinner party to celebrate the finale of "Thousands of Years". After all, everyone in the crew was familiar with each other, so it wasn't that repulsive.

The second is the invitation from the new crew, saying that the investors want to encourage the actors. The investors currently include not only Yuexing Jazz, but also the investors of these two companies.

Before Fang Xin left, Chen Xian reminded him that he must be careful about the investor named Wang. He was well-known for his love of playing, and almost all the famous male and female celebrities in the circle had fallen into his trap. He had no restrictions on sex or gender.

In short, he is a complete pervert. After hearing what Chen Xian said, Fang Xin became more alert.

Chen Xian's worry was right. As soon as Fang Xin entered the private room that night, he was stared at closely by a pair of intense gazes. Fang Xin followed the feeling and looked over, and saw a fat and ugly man. Two seats were deliberately left empty next to him.

Neither Xu Shian nor Shen Yaojie came. The investors have the right to choose to come or not. Yuexing Jazz has been a rival for so many years, and the investment is to help promote their own artists. Naturally, it is impossible for them to appear in such an occasion with the other party.

Mr. Wang stared at Fang Xin who came in with sparkling eyes, and he couldn't hide his infatuated expression. Chen Mi, who was sitting at the same table, noticed it early on.

Although Chen Mi was jealous to the point of madness in his heart, his expression remained calm. He tightly grasped the tablecloth with both hands to suppress his jealousy, and he was waiting to see the show.

Mr. Wang rolled his eyes and asked Fang Xin to sit in the empty seat next to him before the director spoke, as the other seats were full.

Fang Xin thought of Chen Xian's words, about this plain-looking and philandering President Wang. He looked around and saw that there were no spare seats left. The only seats left were those of Lu Ziyan and him, both of whom were next to President Wang.

He gritted his teeth, walked over and sat down.

President Wang has never taken his eyes off Fang Xin since she came in. Even though Chen Mi was unwilling, she still wanted to watch the show. Judging from President Wang's character, if Fang Xin was favored by him, even President Shen Yaojie could not protect him.

Thinking of this, he smiled softly, and the plan in his mind had already taken shape.

Lu Ziyan was late. He walked into the box with an apologetic look on his face and saw Fang Xin sitting next to Mr. Wang. His eyes darkened in an instant.

He approached Fang Xin and smiled politely, "You came so quickly, why didn't you wait for me?"

Now there are two leading actors sitting next to Mr. Wang. His ugly fat face is smiling widely, and his hands are constantly looking for opportunities to reach out to them.

Fang Xin had seen the unspoken rules before, but now neither Lu Ziyan nor he was an unknown person who was easy to control, so he pretended to be careless and avoided Mr. Wang's dirty hands.

Mr. Wang’s real name is Wang Shide. His name sounds like a serious person, but in fact, everything he does is immoral.

Wang Shide saw that Fang Xin and Lu Ziyan both avoided him properly, so he couldn't lose his temper for a while. However, there were good-looking children on both sides, and his anger at being rejected instantly turned into amusement.

His mind was filled with the images of both of them submitting to him, especially Fang Xin, whose face drove him crazy at the first sight, and he really wanted to ravage her severely.

His eyes became more and more explicit, but Fang Xin always maintained his composure. He even took small sips of wine and had no reason to get him drunk.

Wang Shide's face became increasingly uglier. He was determined in his heart that even if he wasn't drunk, he would still kidnap him.

Chen Mi saw Wang Shide's face changing color and her mind raced.

When Wang Shide was looking at him, Chen Mi pretended to be shy and looked away. Wang Shide was immediately grasped by Chen Mi's shy look. The eye contact made Wang Shide forget the frustration he suffered from Fang Xin.

Wang Shide and the director and screenwriter kept drinking, which made Wang Shide a little unconscious. He finally went to the toilet and left the box, which made Fang Xin and Lu Ziyan feel relieved.

On the other side, Chen Mi was closely watching Wang Shide's movements. When she saw Wang Shide go out, she secretly followed him out when no one was paying attention.

After a while, Wang Shide came back drunk. He staggered towards Fang Xin, and Fang Xin immediately leaned back to avoid Wang Shide's approach.

He gave Wang Shide a helping hand and said, "Hey, Mr. Wang, are you okay?"

Wang Shide chuckled, "I don't have anything to do."

He filled Fang Xin's glass with wine as if to please her, then raised his glass and said to the people present, "Come on, let's have a drink to wish the crew a smooth start to filming!"

When everyone heard the investor speak, they all raised their glasses to celebrate the start of the auction. Fang Xin didn't dare to drink the wine poured by Wang Shide, but just pretended to take a sip from the glass.

The social dinner ended at around eleven o'clock. Fang Xin felt dizzy even though he hadn't drunk a drop of alcohol. Thinking that he might be dizzy from the smell of alcohol, he left the box and walked towards the room that the crew had booked for him.

Feeling more and more dizzy the further he walked, Fang Xin realized belatedly that something was wrong. When he saw a hotel waiter coming towards him, he grabbed the man without hesitation.

"Hello, I'm... not feeling well. Could you please take me to room 1806?"

It took Fang Xin a lot of effort to say this. He held the waiter's arm with all his strength, and a feeling of heat slowly crept up his limbs.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

"Thank you......"

At this moment, everything in front of his eyes became completely blurry. He dragged his hot and weak body and followed the waiter. The waiter opened the door to make room for Fang Xin to go in.

As soon as he walked into the room, a strong scent of shower gel wafted from somewhere, which made Fang Xin, who was in a daze, sober up a lot.

Although it's not clear, my brain can still figure out why there is someone else in his room.
