[112. Partnership]
Cheng Qingxing didn't say anything. He lowered his head and silently finished the porridge in front of him.
I felt a little frustrated, but then I thought, I had already made it clear last night, so why should I be frustrated?
"I'm full. Thank you for cleaning up."
After saying that, he went out.
In fact, Cheng Qingxing was looking forward to it, hoping that when he went out, he could see a car with its lights on in the parking lot.
Unfortunately, no, Zheng Xuhe did not wait for him.
When he was about to call a taxi himself, he heard the voice of Nanny Wang.
"Mr. Cheng, Mr. Cheng, you didn't take the car key." Nanny Wang chased him out and handed him a car key. "This is what Mr. Zheng asked me to give you. I almost forgot to give it to you just now."
The black BMW car key was particularly eye-catching in Nanny Wang's hand.
Cheng Qingxing took the car keys, his fingers trembled slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
He didn't look back, but just said calmly: "Thank you, Nanny Wang."
There was a barely perceptible hint of disappointment in his voice.
He held the car keys and stood at the entrance of the parking lot. The sunlight shone on him, but it could not dispel the gloom in his heart.
Opening the drawer at the side, there were cigarettes that Zheng Xuhe smoked, Yunnan Yunnan Huaye, which was Zheng Xuhe’s favorite cigarette.
Seeing the pack of cigarettes, he felt inexplicably annoyed. Bai Hengxi's appearance appeared in his mind, and he felt a little annoyed.
So he raised his hand, poured out all the cigarettes, crumpled the cigarette box into a ball, and threw it into the trash can.
Light one, put it in your mouth, and start the car.
Although Cheng Qingxing doesn't like this Yunnan Yunnan Huaye cigarette, it is really expensive and he can't bear to throw it away.
This is what it’s like to have no money.
--
The crew of "Sword Wound".
Cheng Qingxing had just arrived at the crew, and as soon as the car stopped, people started to gather around.
"This car looks like it belongs to Zheng Xuhe! We found it!"
"This license plate number belongs to Zheng Xuhe! Is it a sports car?"
"The weather is good, so it's normal to drive a sports car to the crew. Shoot quickly! Shoot quickly!"
"Zheng Xuhe! Zheng Xuhe! Zheng Xuhe!"
"......"
The cheers outside the car made Cheng Qingxing's head hurt.
He slowly lowered the soft-top convertible on the sports car, and the onlookers suddenly became quiet.
"Cheng Qingxing!?"
The screams of the people around him were so uniform that they hurt his ears.
He got out of the car, looked at the media reporters, and smiled awkwardly, "Your actor Zheng has already gone in."
He originally wanted to make these media reporters give up, but as soon as he finished speaking, a group of people put microphones into his mouth.
"Excuse me, what's the situation between you and the Five Nights crew?"
"Is what the Five Nights crew said true? Did you really come in late and leave early for no reason on the set?"
"What's the situation between you and Zheng Xuhe now?"
"Hasn't he been replaced? Do we still need to come to the crew?"
"Is it because you got back together with Zheng Xuhe that you are showing off like this?"
"Why did you get out of Zheng Xuhe's car? What is your relationship now?"
"Is "Thank You For Your Answer 3" a show or is it true love? Will there be a future for you and Zheng Xuhe?"
"What happened the last time you and Yan Shenghui were in a store together?"
"Did someone take a picture of Zheng Xuhe carrying you upstairs? Are you two living together again?"
"Are you single or in a relationship now? With Zheng Xuhe? Or with Yan Shenghui?"
"What's going on with Zheng Xuhe and Bai Hengxi? Are they planning to get married?"
"Do you consider yourself the third party?"
"....." The media's microphone was about to poke his face.
Cheng Qingxing's brows were tightly furrowed, and he felt waves of irritation and helplessness.
The questions from these reporters were like sharp swords, piercing his heart directly, leaving him nowhere to hide.
He took a deep breath and tried to stay calm, but those sharp questions still made him feel suffocated.
He raised his hand, trying to block the approaching microphones, with a hint of impatience in his voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't want to answer any of these questions. I have to go to the crew now, otherwise I will be really late."
But the reporters obviously wouldn't let him go. Their questions came like a tide, leaving him no chance to breathe.
Cheng Qingxing felt his patience being worn away bit by bit. He gritted his teeth, turned around and prepared to return to the car, only to find that the door had been blocked tightly by reporters.
"What is your relationship with Zheng Xuhe?"
"Is it because of Zheng Xuhe that you caused trouble on the set of Five Nights?"
"Are you deliberately using Zheng Xuhe's fame to hype yourself?"
"So you're acting in Sword Wounds now, right? That's the role you're playing?"
The reporter did not hear any of the previous questions about Zheng Xuhe and only answered the last question.
"I am currently playing the role of Xiao Yi in the crew of Sword Wounds. I hope everyone will pay more attention to this drama rather than my personal problems."
Cheng Qingxing thought that after saying so much, the media would ask some other questions, but they only wanted to ask some entertainment questions and didn't care what role he played.
"Did you participate in "Sword Wound" because the male lead is Zheng Xuhe?"
"I heard that Zheng Xuhe is the investor of this play. Are you bringing money into the production?"
"Did you leave Five Nights of Tales because the investor was Bai Hengxi? Did he target you?"
"Is the relationship between Bai Hengxi and Zheng Xuhe the same as the rumors, and are you the extra one?"
These questions were like knives, stabbing Cheng Qingxing's heart. His expression became increasingly ugly, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
He couldn't help but yelled, "Enough!"
The media were startled by his roar and took a few steps back, but soon surrounded him again.
Cheng Qingxing felt powerless. He knew that he couldn't stay here with the reporters for too long, otherwise the situation would only get worse.
He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then said in a calm tone:
"Everyone, I know you are very concerned about the relationship between Zheng Xuhe and me, but I can tell you clearly that Zheng Xuhe and I are just partners."
"As for the incident with the Five Nights crew, that was a misunderstanding between me and the crew. It has nothing to do with Zheng Xuhe."
"Then there's the matter between Bai Hengxi and Zheng Xuhe. You'd better ask them. Yan Shenghui and I are just college classmates. We don't know anything else."
This time, the media got an answer, and naturally they let him go.
The first person he saw when he entered the set of "Sword Wound" was Zheng Xuhe, who was leaning in front of the camera and staring at him intently, while behind him were many crew members whispering.
"Stop talking." Zheng Xuhe turned to the person behind him, "We are indeed just a cooperative relationship."
