Chapter 9 996 → 007
The minty aroma filled his nostrils, and Luo Qinglin stared at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling in a trance.
The chandelier was not turned on, and the natural white light refracted through the crystal to the surroundings. The walls were filled with shimmering light and shadows, which fluctuated slightly, just like Luo Qinglin's trembling mood.
The sound of tiny breathing seemed to envelop his whole body. The sound entered his eardrums and rushed into his brain, like the anesthetic before surgery, making Luo Qinglin's brain blank, as if his body and consciousness were disconnected.
Although Jiang Yanyu was holding Luo Qinglin tightly, except for his right hand touching his wrist and his left leg pressing on his knee, there was no other skin contact between the two of them.
Air is the only medium between the two people's breaths. The medium is filled with ambiguous factors, which flow into the nerves along the respiratory tract and confuse people's minds.
Seeing that the other person was unconscious, Jiang Yanyu let go of Luo Qinglin's wrist, propped up his upper body with one arm, and observed Luo Qinglin's expression.
At this moment, Luo Qinglin's pupils were slightly dilated, his eyes were not blinking, he was holding his breath, staring blankly at the wall.
"Is Mr. Luo scared silly?" Jiang Yanyu smiled lightly, leaned down again, stopped when his lips were one centimeter away from Luo Qinglin's nose, and stared into Luo Qinglin's eyes.
Brought back to his senses by the voice, Luo Qinglin's eyes finally focused.
As soon as he came back to his senses, he met a pair of amber eyes in front of him. Luo Qinglin's heart tightened even more, as if he fell from thousands of miles high into the cold deep sea, feeling panicked due to weightlessness.
"No." Luo Qinglin looked away evasively, turned his head to the side, and stared at the foot of the dining table to calm himself.
The distance was too close, and Jiang Yanyu discovered that the small mole under Luo Qinglin's eye was not a perfect circle, nor was it pure black, but rather an oval shape with a hint of red, like a dark rouge powder floating on the water, and it was trembling again.
But this time Jiang Yanyu was not upset and did not press the small mole. Instead, he stood up slightly and raised his hand to cover Luo Qinglin's nose and lips, only looking at his peach blossom eyes with slightly drooping corners.
After observing for two seconds, Jiang Yanyu moved his palm upwards again, just looking at his pale and cold thin lips.
The light in front of him was blocked, and Luo Qinglin's confused mind calmed down a little.
He turned back, stared at the intricate lines on Jiang Yanyu's palm, and asked calmly, "Mr. Jiang, can you let me get up?"
"Mr. Luo's face is really contradictory," Jiang Yanyu moved his hand down and answered the question irrelevantly, "His eyes look innocent and pitiful, while his nose and lips seem to be cold and heartless."
"It's just an ordinary person's face, nothing special." Luo Qinglin moved his eyes to the tip of Jiang Yanyu's nose, avoiding eye contact. "Mr. Jiang, if you've seen enough, let me get up. There's still a lot of breakfast left. If I don't eat it, it will get cold."
"Mr. Luo may have misunderstood his own face."
Seeing Luo Qinglin's throat twitching slightly, pursing his lips, and looking uncomfortable, Jiang Yanyu smiled and finally decided to get up and stop teasing him.
The leg that was pressing on Luo Qinglin's knee was about to be retracted when the electronic door at the entrance suddenly made an unlocking sound. The two people on the ground stopped moving and turned their heads at the same time.
The door handle was turned downwards, and the door creaked open quickly. The wind rushed into the room, blowing back the strands of hair that hung between Jiang Yanyu's eyebrows.
Jiang Su and Chen Qixin were standing outside the door.
Jiang Shan was standing in front, holding a basket of apples decorated with pansies in his right hand, with a very stiff smile on his face.
Chen Qixin stood at the back, pulling a 24-inch German-brand suitcase. He took a deep breath and lowered his head, as if he had seen something that would cause stye.
Boom!
The door was opened for just a moment before being closed again by Jiang Su.
As soon as the door closed, Jiang Chan's sharp roar came from outside: "Jiang Yanyu, I'll give you two minutes to end the fight!"
"......"
Luo Qinglin was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly turned red, burning all the way to his ears, as if all the embarrassment in his life was pouring into his head.
He quickly freed his legs from his knees and leapt up like a fish on a chopping block, rushing into the bedroom to change into a black T-shirt and sweatpants.
After changing into casual clothes and rushing back to the living room, Luo Qinglin was furious to see the instigator still in his pajamas, sitting leisurely at the dining table.
This guy now doesn't have any of the steadiness he had in high school!
Luo Qinglin patted his hot face with his cool hands, walked to the entrance, took a deep breath, then smiled and opened the door.
"Ms. Jiang, Assistant Chen, good morning." Luo Qinglin took the fruit basket from Jiang Chan and spoke in a calm voice.
"Good morning, Mr. Luo."
Jiang Chan smiled politely and naturally, as if it was her first time entering the house, pretending that nothing had happened just now, but the embarrassment in her eyes could not be concealed in time, and it floated nakedly into Luo Qinglin's sight.
As soon as the door closed, except for the culprit who remained calm, the other three people in the living room felt extremely uncomfortable.
After Chen Qixin placed the suitcase in the utility room, he stood aside quietly.
Jiang Su pulled out a chair from under the dining table and sat down, picking up a pair of chopsticks and eating in silence, while Luo Qinglin took the sparkling water and put it on his face, trying to reduce the heat on his skin.
The living room was extremely quiet, with only the sound of the air conditioner operating everywhere. The cold air was blown to the corners, to the ceiling, to the feet, but not to Luo Qinglin's face.
The atmosphere was stagnant.
A few minutes later, Jiang Yanyu finally finished her salad leisurely, put down her fork and spoon, and asked Jiang Su, "Why did you come to my house so early in the morning to disturb my intimacy with my boyfriend? What urgent matter do you have to talk to me about?"
"......" Forget it. Jiang Yanyu's thick skin is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like her. Jiang Su sighed and asked, "How is the injury on your hand?"
Jiang Yanyu shrugged and raised his bandaged left hand. "The stitches will be removed in five days. It won't affect the filming."
"Okay," Jiang Su took out a folder from his bag, took out the documents inside and said, "Everything has been arranged according to your requirements, 4 tours and 2 program crew shoots."
Jiang Yanyu took the contract and the plan, handed the contract to Chen Qixin, and glanced through the plan. The four dates were all about eating, living and traveling with other couples. They were all quite ordinary and slow-paced, with no highlights.
Maybe he and Luo Qinglin are the highlights of this show.
Jiang Yanyu sneered and said, "Change the last episode to a double date, and the location will be Qianyu Island."
Hearing Jiang Yanyu's request again, Jiang Su rolled his eyes and said, "Master, the world doesn't revolve around you. You think you are just making a simple request, but countless staff members under you are running around for your words."
"It seems that I have to contact the sponsor to change the sponsorship of the program and cancel this program, so that our tired staff can have a holiday and don't have to travel around." Jiang Yanyu folded his arms, leaned back in his chair and sighed.
This annoying guy!
Jiang Sushen resisted the urge to beat Jiang Yanyu violently, and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, if the show's hits are not good, La Forêt's investment must be doubled."
"No big deal," Jiang Yanyu handed the plan to Luo Qinglin and asked, "Come and take a look. If there's anything you want to change, just tell them and let them make the changes."
Party B makes a request? This scene is also magical. It seems that as long as people are rich enough, the client has to be submissive and obey their orders.
Luo Qinglin took over the plan with emotion, glanced at it briefly, and replied, "I have no objection."
"Don't take a closer look?" Jiang Yanyu asked, supporting his face with one hand, "If the program team asked you to create a couple relationship with other guests, would you be willing to do that?"
What normal person would come up with such an anti-intellectual decision? Luo Qinglin was stunned for a moment, then he opened the plan and checked it word by word, only to find that there was nothing excessive in the whole article.
Jiang Yanyu was talking nonsense again, and he fell for it every time. Luo Qinglin closed the plan speechlessly, too lazy to say more to Jiang Yanyu, and drank the gradually cooling sweet wine by himself.
"Once the contract is signed, send someone to deliver it to my company." Glancing at Jiang Yanyu's expression as if he was asking for a beating, Jiang Su stood up and said, "I'm leaving first."
Before pushing open the entrance door, Jiang Chan paused for a moment, hesitated for a few seconds, then turned around and said worriedly, "Don't make such a big noise again. You should know that the old man doesn't like to see this."
"Lin Sangsen," Jiang Yanyu asked jokingly, "Are you planning to collude with those scum of the Jiang family?"
When Luo Qinglin heard Jiang Su's real name, he almost got choked by the glutinous rice balls.
He glanced at Jiang Su's expression and saw that his face was extremely cold, like the brief calm before a snowstorm in the North or South Pole.
The expected outbreak did not occur.
Jiang Su was silent for a few seconds before returning to normal. He showed the same expression as Jiang Yanyu and said, "Xiao Yuzi, you are not afraid that your sister will be snatched away by the Jiang family, so you deliberately called me by my real name to test me, right?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yanyu turned his face towards the window unnaturally, turned his back and answered irrelevantly: "Goodbye."
"Little brat." Jiang Su curled up the corner of his mouth, cursed softly, and left in a good mood.
After everyone left, Chen Qixin, who had been silent, finally spoke up and reminded, "Brother Jiang, I suggest that you post some photos with Mr. Luo in the next few days to warm up in advance, which will also facilitate the official announcement of the program."
Jiang Yanyu pondered and said, "It is indeed time to post a few photos to show our affection. What do you think, Mr. Luo?"
"Let Assistant Chen take the photo for us?" Luo Qinglin didn't understand what kind of sophisticated ideas were needed for a fake dog food photo. It was just holding hands and hugging.
"Mr. Luo doesn't care at all," Jiang Yanyu snorted coldly and ordered, "Go get your camera."
Luo Qinglin asked in confusion: "You want Assistant Chen to use equipment to take the photos? It would be more convenient for him to use his phone."
"Who said I wanted him to take the photo? I wanted you to take the photo."
-
The hot search [Jiang Yanyu injured at the airport] has been on the list for two days. Fans dare not ask about the situation in the super topic, for fear of being chased and scolded by passers-by, so they all huddle in the group and chat quietly.
Does anyone know how my brother is doing now? [Crying]
[I haven't slept for 48 hours. I'm really worried that something might happen to him. 】
[Are there any sisters working at the airport or hospital? Anyone who knows the situation please speak up! 】
......
At nightfall, Qin Xiaoxi just got off work and walked out of the building. As soon as she turned on her mobile phone, she saw that the girls in the fan group were extremely anxious. Some of them couldn't even eat or sleep.
Qin Xiaoxi shook her head helplessly and typed in the input box, "Your brother has been discharged from the hospital and returned home, don't worry." 】
Qin Xiaoxi joined this group yesterday. She originally just wanted to join a CP fan group to test the waters, but was pulled into the fan group by an enthusiastic fan.
Before he even clicked send, the fan group suddenly exploded, and all the active ones who were hiding came out and rushed to tell each other.
[Report!] My brother @Sister-in-law posted a blog, everyone go and check it out! ! ! 】
Qin Xiaoxi stopped her finger as she was about to click send, exited the group page and clicked on Jiang Yanyu's Weibo.
[Jiang Yanyu: Me in the eyes of Mr. Luo @Photographer Luo Qinglin]
The Weibo post was published one minute ago, and all nine pictures are of Jiang Yanyu.
The first eight photos were street shots of him wandering outside in a black T-shirt. The last photo showed him in the dark, leaning against the right side of the mirror and playing with his phone, while the left side of the mirror was bright and reflected Luo Qinglin's image.
The comments below are a big melee, with fans and passers-by each accounting for half, with insults and praises mixed together.
The number of replies to the first few comments was extremely high, exceeding ten thousand. Even the top streamers would be surprised by this data.
Qin Xiaoxi scrolled down fearfully, and only felt relieved when she found that no one was scolding Luo Qinglin, and then she returned to the fan group page.
[My sister-in-law is so good at taking photos. These pictures are better than all my brother’s previous street photos. 】
[Help, this is so beautiful!] I’m going to use the last one as my wallpaper, the light and shadow are really amazing! 】
[These photos are really from a boyfriend's perspective. Why are they so cute? 】
[The above, in the fan group, CP support is prohibited. If you want to support CP support, please move to the next room, everyone is having fun there! 】
Looking at the rapidly emerging dialog box, Qin Xiaoxi thought that young girls really can get happy easily.
She recalled herself in high school. She was also carefree then. Her biggest worries were the failure of her secret crush and the collapse of her idol chasing. She was nothing like now, struggling just to make ends meet.
Staring at the screen for too long at work causes my eyes and hands to ache.
Qin Xiaoxi didn't know how Luo Qinglin had managed to work seven days a week in the past, and she didn't know how long she could last in this lonely capital city.
Homeless and with no place to return to, her final fate may be to die alone.
Qin Xiaoxi smiled self-deprecatingly, turned off the screen of her phone, put on headphones and walked into the subway, like a zombie whose soul had been drained by busyness.
The old songs of Qin Xiaoxi's favorite female heavy metal band were playing in her headphones, accompanied by the loud noise of the subway tracks, hitting Qin Xiaoxi's eardrums.
Heavy metal allowed her to fight the whole world in her fantasy, even though she had achieved nothing in reality.
At 9:50, the subway arrived at the station and Qin Xiaoxi walked out of the subway entrance.
The sudden evening breeze was mixed with a hint of car exhaust, and Qin Xiaoxi's shoulder-length straight black hair was blown everywhere. She hurriedly lifted the hair that was blocking her eyes.
In a hurry, the rock music in the headphones paused and an unknown phone call alert sounded.
Qin Xiaoxi tapped the headset twice, the call was connected, and Chen Qixin's voice was heard on the other end.
"Hello, Miss Qin. I'm Assistant Chen. Are you free tomorrow? I want to talk to you about work dispatch."
Work dispatch...?
Qin Xiaoxi stared blankly at the dirty braised pork stall across the street and forgot to respond.
"Ms. Qin, can you hear me? Brother Jiang wants you to continue to be Mr. Luo's assistant. I wonder if you are willing to do that?"
Under the bright moonlight, in front of swaying tree shadows, a bright yellow Lamborghini sped past in front of her, and the huge roar brought Qin Xiaoxi back to her senses suddenly.
She didn't notice the man in the passenger seat of the sports car looking at her. The only thing left in the world was Chen Qixin's words: "Continue to be Luo Qinglin's assistant."
"willing!"
"No need to wait until tomorrow, I can agree to it now!" Qin Xiaoxi's eyes lit up, like an unconscious doll that was infused with a soul, and she was extremely excited.
As long as she can escape from this 996 life, she is willing to do anything!
-
At the same time, the city of Shanghai, which never sleeps, is brightly lit.
On the top floor of a luxury apartment, a man with sharp eyebrows was frowning, clenching his jaw, and clenching his fists on the velvet sofa. He did not look as happy as Qin Xiaoxi who was far away in Beijing.
Looking down at the magnificent night view outside the floor-to-ceiling window for a long time, Lin Han picked up the phone he had dropped on the ground, exited Jiang Yanyu's Weibo, and dialed the number through the piercing screen crack.
"Who is the director of Yinghuang Video's new love variety show 'Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Us'?"
"Change the director."
"Let me take over!"
The author has something to say:
Luo Qinglin: Goodbye
Qin Xiaoxi: Goodbye
Boss of Hanxin Studio: If you save me, I will really be grateful.
