Chapter 95 Paranoia
Sirène's after party is consistent with its brand tone and is located in the garden of the hotel building, filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Most of the guests were second-generation celebrities in the circle, as well as designers who came to watch the show. They were all polite and not as decadent as Étincelle.
Originally, only Jiang Yanyu and Luo Qinglin were going on this trip, with Yu Qin following them.
But after hearing the "compliment", Bai Shengyun's brain went crazy and he insisted on dragging Qin Xiaoxi along, saying that he wanted to take her to meet designers from other brands.
Xiao Ruxuan wanted to follow, but Bai Shengyun quickly pushed Qin Xiaoxi into the front seat, and quickly squeezed next to Luo Qinglin, locked the car door, and told Alex to start the car quickly.
Luo Qinglin looked at Xiao Ruxuan's resentful expression outside the window and said speechlessly: "It's no use locking her out. She can go in Director Yu's car."
Bai Shengyun's eyes widened. He had never thought that this could happen. He grabbed Luo Qinglin's shoulders and shook him back and forth, asking foolishly, "Then what should I do?"
Luo Qinglin shook off Bai Shengyun's hand and retreated to Jiang Yanyu's side, away from the green tea straight man, "Don't do anything, just calm down."
Jiang Yanyu chuckled and glanced to the side, then put his arm around Luo Qinglin's shoulders and asked lightly, "Why don't you ask Qin Xiaoxi if she's willing to go? Normally, Sirène never invites models to after parties."
"Bah! Sirène is such a crappy brand that has high expectations but poor performance, and it doesn't even allow models to go to the after party. So forget it." Bai Shengyun rolled his eyes.
After a quick exchange of words, Bai Shengyun smiled sweetly, leaned over the front seat and asked, "Xiaoxi, do you want to go? If not, we can get off halfway and I'll take you back to the hotel."
"I... haven't seen Qinglin for half a month." Qin Xiaoxi leaned forward, as if moving away from Bai Shengyun, "I want to chat with him later."
"Oh," Bai Shengyun's smile froze on his face, and he immediately retreated to the back seat, not daring to disturb him again, "Okay, okay."
When they arrived at the garden, Jiang Yanyu no longer held Luo Qinglin and automatically let go of his hand, letting him chat with Qin Xiaoxi in the corner.
Bai Shengyun wanted to follow him, but Jiang Yanyu grabbed his collar and stopped him, saying, "Let them have a good chat, don't join in the fun."
"Aren't you curious about what they will say?" Bai Shengyun asked.
"I'm not curious," Jiang Yanyu shrugged and advised, "No one likes a dog who sticks to them all the time. Listen to my baby and be quiet."
"You are the only one who has a wife, talking nonsense every day," Bai Shengyun broke away from Jiang Yanyu's hand and muttered unhappily, "What's there to show off? She's not even my real wife yet, just a fake one."
"Bai Shengyun, do you deserve a beating?" Jiang Yanyu asked with a frown, annoyed by Bai Shengyun.
"Yes, yes, I'll shut up."
Bai Shengyun took the champagne handed to her by the waiter. Seeing that the waiter looked puzzled and kept glancing at her from time to time, Bai Shengyun responded in French, "Have you never seen a man wearing a skirt?", scaring the waiter so much that he quickly stepped back.
Not long after, Yu Qinhou arrived and went to the garden with the equipment. Unlike what Bai Shengyun expected, Xiao Ruxuan did not follow.
Seeing that the two were separated and not in the same place, Yu Qin wanted to ask how to take the photo.
Jiang Yanyu asked first: "Has the radio on Qinglin's clothes been turned off?"
Yu Qin thought about it and replied, "No."
"Okay, you don't have to go with us. Just find a place to rest and send the recording to me later." Jiang Yanyu said.
Yu Qin had long been accustomed to it and quickly retreated to a corner to sit and rest.
Yu Qin is very skilled, it seems that this is not the first time this has happened.
"Fuck, aren't you curious?!" Bai Shengyun said, "You actually did something as perverted as recording, and you wanted to listen to it secretly by yourself. Have you ever thought of asking me to listen with you?"
"No," Jiang Yanyu refused. "I am collecting the voices of my baby and making it into an intelligent voice, and listening to the content. Can it be the same as eavesdropping on other people's conversations?"
"Come on, you're just trying to eavesdrop on your wife," Bai Shengyun threatened, "If you don't send me the recording, I'll tell your wife about your first love."
Jiang Yanyu glared at Bai Shengyun with his eyes slanted, not wanting to argue with him. "At most I can send you Qin Xiaoxi's voice, but you are not allowed to listen to my baby's voice."
"I know. Even if you send it to me, I still won't want to listen to it." Bai Shengyun rolled his eyes.
And the other side.
Luo Qinglin originally wanted to find a quiet place with Qin Xiaoxi to talk about what had happened in the past half month, but people kept coming up to him to say hello.
These people's attire was not much different from that of the young men and ladies at Starla's ball. They were all wearing haute couture, and their eyes were filled with temptation and curiosity.
However, these people spoke in a friendly tone. When greeting him, they did not call him "Lin", but called him "Qinglin" in standard Chinese, full of sincerity.
More than a dozen people came over to say hello, and Luo Qinglin finally had some peace and quiet.
"Who are they?" Qin Xiaoxi asked in a low voice.
"I don't know," Luo Qinglin said, "Maybe he's a friend of the vixen."
After telling Qin Xiaoxi about the dance, she raised her eyebrows ambiguously and deliberately teased: "You are such a domineering boss to lecture your boyfriend on the spot~"
With her years of experience watching dramas, Qin Xiaoxi made a final conclusion: "It must be those celebrities who said in the social circle that you are Jiang Ge's 'little darling', so they followed the wind and came to greet you today."
"How can it be so exaggerated? You've watched too many TV dramas," Luo Qinglin said. "Let me ask you, what did you mean when you said Bai Shengyun was good-looking? Are you interested in him again?"
"No," Qin Xiaoxi shook her head and said, "I just said that because I was afraid that he would be embarrassed and lose face."
In the two years that Luo Qinglin worked with Qin Xiaoxi, he had never seen her tactfully give others a way out for fear of embarrassing others. She always confronted others when possible and ran away when she couldn't.
"How did you..."
"It's changed, right?"
Qin Xiaoxi smiled and said with emotion: "I used to rely on my parents and ex-boyfriend to live, and later I relied on you and Brother Jiang for my salary. In the past half month, I came out and saw the world, and I realized how stupid I was before."
"The fashion show doesn't look at skin color or appearance, it only looks at hard skills. I'm not young either, and I didn't realize until I hit a wall that you were only willing to take care of me before. No job would be as simple as being your assistant."
Qin Xiaoxi talked a lot, from her inner feelings to her experience of being rejected, and the topics were scattered.
During the chat, Luo Qinglin could feel that Qin Xiaoxi had really grown up. The time that had been frozen at the age of 18 had finally begun to flow and move forward.
The complicated feelings I had when watching the show came back to me.
Luo Qinglin had a premonition that from now on, Qin Xiaoxi would drift further and further away from him until she reached the pinnacle of her career.
The mixture of loss and relief makes people feel uncomfortable.
Luo Qinglin suppressed his conflicting emotions and changed the subject, "What about Xiao Ruxuan? What do you think of her?"
"Xiao Ruxuan?" Qin Xiaoxi frowned and said, "I don't have any feelings for her. I always think that her behavior is weird and illogical. I don't understand what she is doing at all."
It turned out that Qin Xiaoxi had the same feeling as him.
Luo Qinglin nodded, feeling the same way, "In fact, not only do I not understand Xiao Ruxuan, I also don't understand what Bai Shengyun is doing."
"Bai Shengyun, um..." Qin Xiaoxi pondered, "Maybe he is just simply stupid."
"Let's not talk about them, let's talk about you and Brother Jiang," Qin Xiaoxi waved her hand, "What stage have you reached? When will you reveal your cards?"
Luo Qinglin opened his mouth, not knowing where to start, so he said, "Bai Shengyun said that vixen have never been in love."
Qin Xiaoxi blinked in confusion, then leaned back and asked with wide eyes, "So, those rumors are false? Are the rumors that he likes straight men also false?"
Luo Qinglin sighed, "Well, it's fake."
"Then all your acting these past few months has been in vain, right?"
Qin Xiaoxi remembered that it was because of her hearsay that Luo Qinglin was also misled, so she grabbed her hair and said, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have said those 'gossip rumors' that day."
"It's okay. If I didn't pretend to be straight at that time, I wouldn't know how to get along with him. I couldn't just say I had liked him for many years and scare him." Luo Qinglin comforted him.
"What should we do now?" Qin Xiaoxi asked.
"After returning home, I plan to find a suitable opportunity to explain everything to him," Luo Qinglin said.
"You're telling him about your secret love for me after all these years?"
Luo Qinglin shook his head, stared at the slightly shaking sparkling wine on the table and said, "No, let's just start from scratch and start over at the age of 25."
"Let him know that I like him more the way he is now." Luo Qinglin said with a smile on his face.

At midnight, Jiang Yanyu left the hotel to rehearse for a new show.
When the after party ended in the evening, Bai Shengyun started urging us to record the video and kept bombarding us with messages until midnight.
The lights of the Eiffel Tower were on at midnight. Jiang Yanyu wrapped his windbreaker tightly and walked along the banks of the Seine.
It was cool and the temperature was low in the early morning. Jiang Yanyu wore a black windbreaker, like a traveler in the dark night, shuttling between light and darkness, lights and dimness.
The cell phone buzzed. It was a call from the driver Alex. Jiang Yanyu picked up the call.
"We'll set off later."
"In half an hour."
"No, I'll walk back to the hotel by myself."
The evening breeze was gentle. Jiang Yanyu walked to the riverside, stopped, took out the earphones from the pocket of his windbreaker, connected them to Bluetooth and put them on his ears.
With the sound of gurgling river and gentle wind, Jiang Yanyu swallowed unconsciously, clicked on the few seconds recording that Yu Qin sent to him privately, closed his eyes and listened quietly.
"I like him better now."
"I like him."
"I like him."
"like."
......
In half an hour, the words in the headphones were repeated countless times, probably hundreds or thousands of times.
The audience never seem to get tired of listening to it. This voice is like a seductive poison, making people want to listen more and more, becoming addicted and obsessed.
When the alarm rang, Jiang Yanyu took off his headphones, turned around and looked at the floor of the hotel where Luo Qinglin was staying, and said in a voice that no one could hear with a steady look in his eyes:
"You are mine and will always be mine."
The author has something to say:
Luo Qinglin: What are you doing standing outside so late at night? (Rubbing eyes)
Jiang Yanyu: Being a pervert
