Chapter 114 He was a little...missing Zhou Pingchuan.

It was already very late, and they would have to take a red-eye flight to get back. Zhao Wei suggested that they stay overnight, but Xia Mian really wanted to go home.

He opened his mouth, but when he saw Chestnut and Rhubarb, who were already slumped over in sleep, he swallowed back what he was about to say.

“Okay, stay here. We’ll leave tomorrow morning,” Xia Mian said.

Chestnut quickly booked a hotel.

While they were discussing, Xia Mian opened Weibo. He had been busy preparing for "Legend of the Heavenly Dragon" lately and hadn't paid much attention to social media.

He first searched his own name, and the first result was a fan-made video of a local TV concert, along with a long Weibo post:

【Ahhhhh, guess what happened to me today? I went to the Tongshantai gala to see our Mianmian, and I happened to run into him and Chang Yi checking the stage props!

We wanted to get his attention, so we held up our light sticks. And guess what? He actually ran right over there!

My goodness, his face in person is half the size of his face on TV, and his legs are long and thin. Wearing those fluffy clothes, he looks like a beautiful little ragdoll cat.

And then! This Ragdoll cat actually sat down right next to the table and started talking to us! Looking at that pretty little face, I almost fainted.

He asked how we got to the venue and complimented our light sticks. When we asked him what style our makeup would be for tonight, he smugly said it was a secret and he wanted to surprise us.

Oh, by the way, after he left, his assistant came over and gave us hand warmers, cotton candy, and lots and lots of snacks.

Ahhhhh, I love Mianmian forever! Ahhhhhh!

The cotton farmers were heartbroken and filled with regret.

[No way, I've become a jealous woman! I'm going to tie you all back and make you recount every single detail of your conversations with my darling every day!]

[Mianmian is so thoughtful! I wish I could be one of you two and have the cotton candy your assistant gave me.]

This cotton candy is probably a treasure I'll keep forever. I'm so envious, I'm crying!

[Ahhh, is that really the Mianmian I know in the video? That makeup, that waistline, I'm totally drooling over her!]

Summer Sleep, do you know what kind of clothes I like? I like being subdued by you. Please subdue me forcefully.

[Attention upstairs, our darling is already married!]

Xia Mian, the man I can't have. But it's okay, I'm also the woman you can't have.

[One person is begging for an album, it's such a shame that our Mianmian isn't pursuing a singing and dancing career with her looks.]

[A letter written in blood by two people]

[Blood Letter*10086]

It seems my skills are still as good as they were back then. Xia Mian felt quite gratified looking at the fans' "wild and passionate words".

LOL, he's already a fan of fanfiction, these cheesy pickup lines pose no threat to him whatsoever.

The second question that popped up was from fans asking what his next schedule was. "Legend of the Dragon" hasn't reached the promotional stage yet and is still kept secret, so everyone is very curious about what their idol's next move will be.

After all, they had just gotten married, and they were especially afraid that he would leave the entertainment industry and go back to being a rich young master.

Other fans commented below: [Didn't you watch "Our Drinking Talk," sis? The guy said he's already found a new job.]

Waaaaah, I'm so poor, I can't afford a membership!

"Drinking Talk" is the final part of "Our Little Life," and requires a membership or advanced viewing to watch in advance.

"Cotton" refers to both very good boys and girls. The fan replied: "[hahaha, pat pat, let me briefly summarize. The host of the talk show asked my brother if he wanted to return to family life, and he said he would continue to be active in the entertainment industry. His next project is already planned; he'll choose between a variety show and a web drama.]"

[Phew~ That scared me to death. But Zhou is so rich, why does my brother still need to work? Is he treating him badly?]

Fans are so conflicted; they want to see their idols every day, but they also want their idols to find their own happiness.

Many fans shared her question, until a netizen with mixed backgrounds, who didn't follow Xia Mian at all, replied: "Their relationship is extremely bad; it's purely a matter of mutual exploitation. Don't believe me? Check out the paparazzi's revelations. ://ww.......]"

The link led to a video that Xia Mian clicked on out of curiosity. It turned out to be a video secretly filmed after the party ended!

In the video, he and Chang Yi walked out of the barbecue restaurant chatting and laughing. Then several burly men rushed out and dragged him into a black car parked on the side of the road.

Whether it was the Zhou family or Zhao Wei's doing, the original link to this video has already been limited, but it couldn't stop people from recording it and spreading it again, which has already caused quite a stir in the community.

Some fans were even worried about his safety and wanted to contact his agency or report him to the police. The panic only subsided after someone discovered the unlicensed car's license plate was registered under Kepler's name.

However, the rumors of discord between the Zhou family patriarch and Xia Mian have been confirmed by this video.

Xia Mian felt nothing about this. Like drinking water, only the person drinking knows whether it's hot or cold. Whether a relationship is good or bad, whether one is happy or not, is something one experiences, not something one can show.

However, everyone's speculations only made him feel worse.

He was missing Zhou Pingchuan a little.

Xia Mian discovered that ever since he realized his feelings for Zhou Pingchuan, he seemed to be thinking about him all the time, except when he was working.

But he thought it was legal, because he was his lawfully wedded husband!

Xia Mian simply picked up his phone and called Zhou Pingchuan directly. Most of the people in the car were asleep, so he carefully lowered his voice and said, "Hey, Zhou Pingchuan, what are you doing?"

On my way home from get off work.

"I'm also on my way home from get off work, but the late flight is too late, so I can't go back today. I'll have to stay here at the film set for the night."

"What city?"

"There are no Kepler hotels in Yang City."

"good."

...Is that all?

All you can say is "okay"?

Can you please stop being so formal and add a few other words to make a complete sentence?

Xia Mian was a little annoyed that Xia Mian couldn't even do a perfunctory job.

"Are you coming back tomorrow?" Zhou Pingchuan asked again.

Xia Mian was still angry and coldly threw him a single word: "Fine."

I asked if they were going back to the capital.

Xia Mian replied, "Okay."

Zhou Pingchuan realized that this person was sulking with him, so he patiently explained, "When I said 'okay,' I meant 'I understand.' How do you think I should respond?"

“All you do is say is ‘okay, okay,’” Xia Mian said, scratching at the back of the seat in front of her. “You don’t care about me at all.”

The child's voice sounded more like a pout than angry. Xia Mian had spoken to him in this tone before, but never this softly or sweetly.

Zhou Pingchuan didn't know that once he was immersed in the emotion of "liking," the moon was bright and the breeze was gentle, and even the air he exhaled had a soft scent.

“Okay, I’ll show you some concern,” Zhou Pingchuan said. “Send me your flight number for tomorrow, and I’ll send someone to pick you up at the airport, okay?”
