"……"
"…………"
Wen Xia was silent.
After Lin Fengqi said this, he wanted to bite off his tongue.
He wanted to make amends, but the more anxious he was, the more his brain became. In the end, he froze there with a stern face and closed his mouth without saying a word.
Then Wen Xia moved. He turned around, opened the door of the restaurant and was about to go in.
Lin Fengqi's heart skipped a beat, and then he felt sad. He made Wen Xia unhappy again... The next second, he saw Wen Xia paused slightly, turned around and looked at him: "Didn't you say you wanted to join? Come on."
Lin Fengqi was stunned, hesitated for two seconds, and stepped forward to catch up.
When Liu Feisi saw Lin Fengqi, he was the first to greet him. He was so enthusiastic that he almost jumped up: "Brother Lin! I told you that the boss has been out for so long, he must have gone to pick you up."
There were six seats. Yaoyao, A Deng and Xiao Cong sat in one row. Opposite them were Liu Feisi and Wen Xia, and the seat Wen Xia had reserved for Lin Fengqi.
Liu Feisi sat in the back. After Wen Xia sat down, he looked at Lin Fengqi who was standing in the aisle in a daze, and his face was normal: "Why are you standing there? Sit down."
At this moment, Lin Fengqi seemed to have turned into Xiao Wu, the stupid robot at home who did things according to orders. He sat down stiffly next to Wen Xia.
"Have you all ordered?" Wen Xia asked Liu Feisi and the others.
"We have ordered, we have ordered, except for you and Brother Lin." Liu Feisi pushed the menu over.
Wen Xia handed the menu to Lin Fengqi again: "Order whatever you want to eat. It's my treat today."
Lin Fengqi took it silently and randomly ordered two dishes.
Everyone ate and talked as usual. Lin Fengqi rarely interrupted, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Until halfway, Wen Xia went to the bathroom and was blocked when he came out. The person who blocked him was Lin Fengqi.
Wen Xia was not in a hurry: "What's wrong?"
"You just ate with them?" Lin Fengqi asked solemnly.
"Yes, we have worked overtime for several days in a row, it's not easy, let's go out and have a good meal," Wen Xia said, "I see you often come to my studio recently, bringing me food and vegetables, it's also very hard, and I was thinking of waiting until it's almost time for you to get off work, so I can call you and ask you to come over for dinner."
Lin Fengqi's mind turned at this time: "When I came, I saw you at the door..."
"Yes, I was about to call you," Wen Xia said without blushing, "So I was wondering why you came here before I even called?"
Lin Fengqi wanted to say that I saw your circle of friends, but he was afraid that if he said that, he would look like a pervert who was always watching his movements. But he changed his mind and thought, Wen Xia's public circle of friends can be seen by everyone, so of course he can see it too, is there any problem?
After weighing the pros and cons, he confessed, "I saw your circle of friends."
Wen Xia acted as if he suddenly realized something: "Oh - I saw it! Maybe I forgot to turn off the location when I posted the status."
Lin Fengqi wanted to explain why he saw the location and ran over, but Wen Xia spoke first and found an excuse for him: "You're quite smart. You knew to come over for a free meal."
"..." Lin Fengqi was silent for a moment, remembering that he rushed over in a very aggressive manner and almost said the words "catching someone cheating". Shame almost drowned him, and the feeling of being dominated by the "Liao Xingchen love rival incident" came back. He hurriedly climbed down the pole, "It's just on my way."
Wen Xia: "Yeah, it's on my way."
Lin Fengqi: "..."
For some reason, he felt even more ashamed.
So the topic unconsciously deviated from Lin Fengqi's initial questioning to his explanation of why he was here. And he missed the opportunity to ask about Fang Huai, the matter he cared about the most.
The two went to the bathroom one after the other, were absent for a while, and came back together. Wen Xia clearly felt that the looks that Liu Feisi and others gave him and Lin Fengqi were meaningful and tacit.
After thinking about it, he did not explain.
After dinner, everyone went home.
Lin Fengqi and Wen Xia drove their own cars. On the way home, he once again deeply reflected on whether he was too paranoid. Just like what he thought before, since Wen Xia sent out the chat records without any hesitation, did it mean that the matter itself was not so... so private?
In his impression, Wen Xia is not the kind of person who would put out her love, hate, and vengeance for others to see.
He thought about it and took a look at his phone when the traffic light turned red.
Lin Fengqi: "?!"
Where is Wen Xia's status? Where is that long status? And the one with the screenshot!
How come it's gone? !
Wen Xia deleted it?
Why? ? ?
He flipped through it and found that only this status was deleted. The status that he posted later, "I want to bring someone here" but forgot to turn off the location, was still there intact.
What does this mean?
Deleting status related to someone is a very imaginative thing in terms of love. When many couples are in love, they wish they could post 800 status updates about each other in a day. When they break up, they either cry and delete all traces of the other person's existence, or grit their teeth and kick the other person out of their world.
Others can't let go and can't forget. Occasionally, they can't help but mention each other in one or two updates, and then delete them sadly after a trance.
So what about Wen Xia? Which type is he?
Lin Fengqi felt that his brain was not enough again.
In fact, Wen Xia deleted the update only because the goal for today was achieved and it was useless to keep it. He never thought that Lin Fengqi would go back and study this update.
This led to him not knowing why Lin Fengqi was a little absent-minded when he returned home, and his eyes were filled with complex and incomprehensible emotions when he looked at him - what was this person thinking? Before he
could ask, Lin Fengqi returned to his room. He looked like he had been abandoned by the whole world. He didn't drink a drop of alcohol, but his steps were floating.
A man's heart is really like a needle in the sea.
Two days after the release of the demo version of "Flower of the End", the number of players suddenly increased dramatically, and the feedback also poured in like a tide, even more than the two weekdays. However, in general, there were still mostly positive reviews, and some game marketing accounts even began to write some gimmicky articles to praise the "masterpiece".
Wen Xia immediately turned around and posted a Weibo.
[Weng Xia: I don’t acknowledge any boasting, I only look at the final product. Don’t write short essays praising the game, and then turn around and ask me for promotion fees. I don’t have money, and I won’t give it to you even if I have money.]
After posting on Weibo, Wen Xia notified the property management, and then started a live broadcast.
[Xia-Boss-I’ve finally waited for you!]
[It’s been a week! Do you know how I spent this week!]
[Finally it’s started, I’ll die if there’s no more live broadcasts]
[Is today a special show for Flower of the End?]
The content of the live broadcast is mainly to answer some of the most common questions about Flower of the End in the past few days. Of course, after the trial version is removed from the shelves, he will summarize all the questions and write a written answer.
Shortly after the broadcast started, an entry message accompanied by a familiar screen-sweeping gift: 5140005 entered the live broadcast room.
[5140005 Free Blue Whale Model x20]
[Welcome Digital Boss! ]
[Boss is generous]
[Boss, have you played "Flower of the End"? I'm a little curious about your gaming experience hahahaha]
Wen Xia's eyelids jumped when he saw the gift message pop up.
Especially when he saw a bullet screen saying "Boss's love is generous and unpretentious" flash by, he felt guilty for the first time.
Today, Nana posted a document in the group, which was about some arrangements for the filming of this promotional video, including the time, location, and filming process of everyone's gathering. After returning in the afternoon, she privately poke Wen Xia and dragged him to discuss for the whole afternoon. It doesn't feel like going to work at all, it feels like going on a trip.
Wen Xia didn't tell Lin Fengqi about this, but when Feng Hang receives the film, Lin Fengqi will definitely know about it. If he follows the clues and comes to watch the live broadcast on a whim, what will he think when he sees the screen full of love?
Now there is already a Fang Huai thorn there to stimulate him. If there is another one, Wen Xia is afraid that the stimulation will be too much, and this wood will shrink in the turtle shell and can't come out.
[5140005 free blue whale model x1]
[5140005 free small starfish x3]
Maybe Wen Xia said that the digital boss will have a new set of gifts this time. In addition to the unshakable entry to smash the 20 most expensive ones first, and then give them away, he will not smash several blue whale models at once. He chose one to three, one most expensive one with three smallest ones.
It looks both impressive and inexplicably frugal.
[This gift from the digital boss is so exquisite]
[Hahahahahaha, the wife-controlled and strict personality is here]
[Xia Xia, please show some expression]
[I've never seen anyone who listens to the host so much when giving gifts. Aren't others ranked first in gifts and can ask the host to do more?]
[You don't understand, this is love]
...
"Stop, stop," the topic of the barrage started to go wrong, Wen Xia hurriedly stopped it, "Are you here to see me or the digital boss, I'm still here."
[Watch yours]
[Only children make choices, I want them all]
[Alright, alright, jokes in moderation]
[Finally said it... Can those who brush CPs stop dancing in the live broadcast room? Can't you just do it in your own circle of friends in private?]
[The house manager doesn't do his job? ]
Wen Xia also said, "The property manager should pay attention to this."
The digital boss didn't say anything, but just silently gave two small gifts:
[5140005 free small starfish x1]
[5140005 free small starfish x1]
Oh... It's a headache.
Wen Xia wanted to talk about the CP issue directly in the live broadcast room, even if the CP was not necessarily true, but just a joke. But it was a bit... You said that people gave you so many gifts, and the big boss didn't mean it. He just watched the live broadcast after work and relaxed. He was happy to give two rewards, but the anchor said, "Don't tie us together"...
Isn't this taking the benefits and then hitting the face? It's too unkind.
After thinking it over, Wen Xia decided that it would be better to talk to the big boss privately.
So after the live broadcast, he went to the backstage and opened the big boss's private message: [Boss, do you want to discuss something? ]
5140005: [Yes. ]
Deng Xia: [That's right, those CP comments on the screen are just a joke, don't mind it too much. ]
5140005: [I don't mind it. ]
He is a man of few words and doesn't talk too much. He doesn't use the money he spends to force the anchor to broadcast according to his own wishes or do something privately. He doesn't mind at all for comments that affect his "CP"... What kind of good-tempered angel boss is this!
On the other hand, he actually wants to do such a thing!
Wen Xia felt even more guilty.
Wen Xia: [Boss, this is it. I want to say sorry to you first. You really gave me so many gifts. I am really grateful. But now due to some personal reasons, those jokes may cause trouble to me, so... I may limit the relevant remarks in the live broadcast room in the future.]
When this paragraph was sent out, Wen Xia was almost drowned by guilt.
He waited anxiously for the big boss's reply.
A few minutes later, the big boss replied: [What personal reason? What happened?]
The deep concern came over him.
Wen Xia's conscience hurt again, and he felt more like a scumbag who turned his face after sleeping with someone.
He thought for a long time and had to tell him the truth: [Because the person I like may watch my live broadcast later... I am afraid that he will see those bullet screens and have wild thoughts. ]
After a pause, he added: [After all, he is quite stubborn.]
The big boss didn't reply for a long time.
Wen Xia waited anxiously and couldn't help but urge: [Boss? Can you get my message?]
5140005: [Yes.]
5140005: [I know.]
Wen Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw a new message pop up:
[You... like him a lot?]
Thinking of Lin Fengqi, Wen Xia couldn't help curling his lips and replied: [Yeah, I like it very much.]
After communicating privately with the digital boss, Wen Xia finally felt relieved. If the boss doesn't mind, then things will be much easier.
After the live broadcast, he began to pack his luggage.
The shooting time was scheduled for November 2nd and 3rd. In fact, if everything goes well, it can be completed in one day, but the filming crew still booked two days just in case.
The round-trip fare is borne by each anchor, and the food and accommodation are borne by the group of whales. Wen Xia has already booked a flight for tomorrow afternoon. He will arrive there half a day in advance to meet Guiqulai first and have dinner in the evening.
He hasn't told Lin Fengqi about this yet.
However, when he knocked on the door of the next room, Wen Xia was startled by Lin Fengqi's gloomy eyes.
How to describe it? It was just like the state he was in after returning from the western restaurant that day.
Wen Xia thought, I didn't do anything today, so what?
He called out tentatively: "Lin Fengqi?"
Lin Fengqi looked at him deeply and replied in a deep voice: "Well, is there something?"
"... I just came to tell you that I have to go on a business trip tomorrow and may not be back until the 4th."
"Yeah."
"..."
"..."
Sudden silence.
Lin Fengqi spoke first: "Anything else?"
Wen Xia blinked, very puzzled.
It shouldn't be like this, why didn't this person ask him where he was going or what business he was on?
Wen Xia: "That's right, I will be away from home for several days."
Lin Fengqi's expression was cold: "Yeah, I know."
Wen Xia: "Well..."
So, nothing else to ask?
Wen Xia hadn't felt this way for a long time. When he first pursued him, he felt lost. Suddenly, he seemed to not understand this man and couldn't guess his thoughts.
What should I do if Lin Xuejia is disqualified? I'm waiting online.
His brain was working fast, and Wen Xia smiled at him: "So, my Wen Da'e..."
"I have to go on a business trip too." Lin Fengqi suddenly said.
Wen Xia: "?"
Wen Xia was a little stunned: "You have to go on a business trip too?"
Lin Fengqi: "Yeah."
Wen Xia felt something was wrong: "Where are you going on a business trip?"
Lin Fengqi glanced at him and said coldly: "Z City."
Wen Xia breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Fengqi was going to Z City on a business trip, and he was going to Ancheng. The two cities are far apart. They
can't run into each other.
He was scared to death, and thought the big boss was going to check the post in person.
"How long will you be gone, and when will you be back?" Wen Xia asked.
"Same as you," Lin Fengqi said, "Number 4."
"Oh...that's quite a coincidence." Wen Xia touched his nose.
Lin Fengqi didn't respond, his expression remained indifferent.
"What about these two kids at home?" Wen Xia asked again, "Foster them?"
Lin Fengqi only said a name: "Liao Xingchen."
"Is there anyone else we can foster with?"
"Yeah."
"...Oh."
"..."
"..."
Silence again.
Wen Xia didn't leave, just stood there and looked at him, until Lin Fengqi couldn't stand his gaze anymore, his cold expression finally cracked a little, and he looked away unnaturally: "Anything else?"
"I don't have it anymore, but I think you do."
"What do I have..."
"Did I provoke you?" Wen Xia asked bluntly.
Lin Fengqi was startled, and panic quickly rose in his eyes: "No."
"Then why are you treating me like this?"
"I..." Lin Fengqi was asked, his mouth opened again and again, his eyebrows drooped, "I'm sorry..."
Wen Xia slowed down and said, "So, did I offend you?"
"...No."
"Then why are you unhappy?" When
asked this question, Lin Fengqi stopped answering. He pursed his lips, as if he was struggling with a very important matter.
Wen Xia asked him; "Isn't it convenient to say it?"
Two seconds later, he nodded.
"Okay then," Wen Xia asked, "Are you sure it has nothing to do with me?"
The man's eyes flickered, and this time he nodded less crisply.
A liar who can't lie.
Wen Xia didn't have any idea for a moment, and it seemed that if he continued to be in a stalemate, he would get nothing. "Okay, then I'll go pack my luggage."
Lin Fengqi responded sullenly.
Watching Wen Xia return to her room, he closed his eyes, and all he could see were the two sentences that had just appeared on the screen:
The person I like...
I like him very much... The person I like... I like him very much...
He took a deep breath and suppressed the sourness that was surging.
Nana said that there was a special makeup team to match their clothes for this shoot, so they didn't have to worry about the clothes for the shoot. Wen Xia didn't have much to bring, and in the end, the suitcase was not full.
After packing, he contacted Liao Xingchen.
"Adopt? I think we can," Liao Xingchen said, "but I've only taken in Ah Moo. Cats are timid and easily get stressed when they suddenly change their environment. It will be very troublesome if something happens."
Wen Xia was holding a piece of cat food to feed Wen Da'e, and he replied, "My cat should be fine."
"Well... Lin Fengqi just came to me and said that he also had to go on a business trip, and he had to let me take care of Ah Moo for a few days. If your cat and Ah Moo have a good relationship, you can give it a try. It should be much better for the two little guys to be together."
So that night, Lin Fengqi and Wen Xia, one holding a dog and the other holding a cat, did not go to the pet clinic, but came to Liao Xingchen's residence.
It was Mingchuan who opened the door.
Mingchuan stepped aside to let them in. Two pairs of slippers were already prepared at the entrance. He turned his head and shouted in an improper way: "Doctor Liao, come out to receive the guests."
A closed door opened, and Liao Xingchen came out while using his legs to prevent the three cats from slipping out.
Moo is not shy. After Lin Fengqi let go of the leash, it wandered around the house to get familiar with the smell. When Wen Xia put down the cat bag, Wen Da'e called out coquettishly.
"Your cat calls so coquettishly. What kind of cat is it?" Liao Xingchen asked.
"A rag doll."
Liao Xingchen squatted down and carefully opened the cat bag: "This cat looks very good, it feels a bit like a championship cat."
Wen Xia, as a father, was particularly proud of his own fur child being praised: "Well, its parents are indeed championship cats, and it is still the worst in its litter."
"That's also amazing." Liao Xingchen praised.
Several people gathered around the cat bed, and even the little bully Wen Da'e was frightened for a moment. But soon he saw Ah Moo wandering back and forth in the house leisurely, so he crouched down and sniffed the unfamiliar floor, then walked out.
Lin Fengqi and Wen Xia stayed here for almost an hour. Wen Xia was relieved only after making sure that Wen Da'e had no signs of stress response. Thinking of the three cats he had just seen, Wen Xia worriedly emphasized the bully character of his own Wen Da'e.
Liao Xingchen said it was okay, and the cats could just rotate rooms.
Wen Xia was familiar with the situation, just like when he first arrived at Lin Fengqi's house?
"How much do you charge for foster care?" Wen Xia asked.
"It's free," Liao Xingchen said with a smile, "It's not a foster care institution, I'm just helping a friend." Liao
Xingchen glanced at Mingchuan who was having fun playing with the dog, and then looked at Lin Fengqi who was waiting for Wen Xia at the entrance and preparing to leave. He leaned over to Wen Xia's ear and whispered, "Are you on a business trip together?"
Wen Xia shook her head and said, "To different places."
"That's quite a coincidence, I thought you two were going on a date under the guise of a business trip." "
..." It would be nice if that was the case.
"By the way," Liao Xingchen said, "My dad told me two days ago that he was going to have dinner with Uncle Wen some other day and asked me to go with him, saying that you would be there too, and asked me to perform well again."
Wen Xia was stunned: "Is that true?"
"You didn't know?"
Wen Xia shook her head.
He thought that after saying that last time, Comrade Wen hadn't made any move for so long, he should have given up the idea. But he was still holding it back, and was trying to trick him into going on a blind date?
Wen Xia glanced at Mingchuan and asked him, "Haven't you already...? Why are you still going on a blind date?"
Liao Xingchen didn't answer but asked, "Didn't you tell me either?"
Wen Xia: "My situation is special."
Liao Xingchen: "Same."
Before leaving, Wen Xia hugged Wen Da'e reluctantly and gave him two deep kisses. When the door closed and the two walked into the elevator, Lin Fengqi finally couldn't help but ask, "What were you talking about just now?"
Wen Xia thought that this man didn't know that he already knew about his shameful deeds, so after thinking about it, he decided to give him some face and said, "It's a small matter, about Wen Da'e."
Lin Fengqi didn't ask any more questions.
The luggage was ready, and there was no need to worry about the cat and dog. The next morning, Lin Fengqi left first. Wen Xia had lunch alone, and in the afternoon he also dragged his suitcase to the airport.
Before boarding the plane, Guiqulai sent him a photo of Ancheng International Airport and said: [I'm already here.]
Wen Xia replied: [1]
Guiqulai: [Too cold, right?]
Wen Yixia: [I'm boarding the plane, no more chat.]
Guiqulai: [Okay, I'll go to the hotel first, let me know when you arrive.]
Wen Xia replied "1" again.
Then he exited and opened Lin Fengqi's chat interface. The latest message was what he sent to Lin Fengqi an hour ago: [I'm leaving too.]
Before that, it was what Lin Fengqi sent him before: [Say goodbye when you leave.] ]
After getting on the plane, the network was disconnected, and Wen Xia suddenly thought of a question: Lin Fengqi's return time is so coincidental with his, he doesn't plan to go to Ancheng after finishing his own business, and follow up on the progress of the partner's promotional film shooting in person, right?
Not really, right?
Mr. Lin, he shouldn't be so free.
The author has something to say:
It depends on who is the right one.
Ah, I forgot to talk about the secondary CP last time, I will talk about it this time, there is basically not much emotional drama between the two of them in the main text, I feel a little tired to write about the secondary CP in the extra chapter (you
