After learning that the task would start from tomorrow, the few poor people who were originally eager to take action were no longer in a hurry.
"The mission won't be announced until tomorrow, so why not just announce it tomorrow? Why did you have to call us here so late in the night?"
Qiu Chengye picked his ears impatiently, "Can we go back now?"
Director Niu (the most undignified director in history): “…It’s OK.”
…
After returning to the villa, the guests went about their own business.
Xiao Jingxi was determined to stick to his affectionate persona to the end. He had been particularly attentive to Xie Mi since he returned to the show in the afternoon, and was now serving her tea and pouring water.
"Xie Mi, you don't sleep well. Drinking a cup of hot water before going to bed can help you sleep." He placed the poured hot water in front of Xie Mi.
As soon as the bottom of the cup touched the table, a bony hand appeared next to it and put down a cup of steaming milk.
"I remember that warm milk helps you sleep better."
After putting down the milk, Chen Yuqing sat on the sofa next to Xie Mi and lazily flipped through the pages of the book in his hand. "Why didn't Emperor Xiao buy milk? Don't you want to?"
The corner of Xiao Jingxi's mouth twitched and he moved the glass of milk away.
"She used to call me when she couldn't sleep, because she was used to hearing my voice falling asleep. The hot water was just a metaphor, meaning that I would always be with her."
Xie Mi, who was about to get some milk, couldn't help but retort when he heard this, "That's because your voice is too weak. It sounds like ASMR, which is more helpful for sleep."
“Puff——”
Chen Yuqing beside him laughed unabashedly, "It seems that Emperor Xiao has found a suitable side job."
Xiao Jingxi was about to faint from anger and wanted to say something, but suddenly a figure jumped out, pushed him aside, and sat down on the seat on the other side of Xie Mi.
"If you don't want to watch TV, then don't block the road. A good dog doesn't block the road, don't you know?"
The one who spoke was Lai Bingxuan, and she rolled her eyes without any concealment.
Xiao Jingxi frowned unhappily and was about to say something when another voice sounded behind him.
"Emperor Xiao, please make way."
After Liu Woxing finished speaking, he walked straight past him and bumped into him seemingly unintentionally, causing him to stagger and take two steps back.
When he came to his senses, Liu Woxing had already sat down on another empty seat on the sofa.
At this point, a long sofa was occupied by four people, and Xie Mi was surrounded by them, cutting off Xiao Jingxi's chance to get close.
Now there was nothing Xiao Jingxi didn't understand.
They are working together to target him.
【Xie Liubing is awesome! ! 】
[Those who eat at various restaurants are blessed. Xie Yu kills the donkey, Xie Liu, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and I am the three chefs who are ecstatic! ]
[Ever since that incident broke out this morning, Xingxing has been worried about Lao Xie, and Sister Lai has been scolding Xiao Jingxi. They are so real. I am crying my ass off.]
[Xiao Jingxi is such a jerk. He didn't cherish what he had before, but now that he lost it, he knows how to get it back. How could Sister Liu and Sister Lai not see through his thoughts? They will definitely not give him the chance to get close to Old Xie]
[Great, Sister Xie is finally not alone this time]
[I was about to be moved when I saw the words above, but suddenly I remembered that Lao Xie was also very strong when he was alone...]
[Hahahahahaha, there is really no sentimentality in Old Xie]
Xiao Jingxi's face was slightly gloomy, with a layer of cold frost in his eyes. When he realized that there were cameras in the villa, he quickly revealed an affectionate look.
In the distance, Yu Jinche sat on a chair and drank water obediently, and the barrage in the live broadcast room was full of comments praising the good baby.
He seemed to be watching the fun, but his eyes were accurately fixed on Xiao Jingxi's face, capturing the unwilling expression on Xiao Jingxi's face.
Yu Jinche tapped the wall of the cup with his fingertips thoughtfully, and an interesting idea gradually emerged in his mind.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the cameras in the villa were turned off and the guests gradually entered their sleep time.
Xiao Jingxi was talking on the phone in a low voice in the back garden, his tone sounding a little irritable.
"Don't I know that the key to clearing my name lies in Xie Mi? But she is determined to embarrass me now, what can I do?!"
“…”
Xiao Jingxi became even more impatient after hearing what the other party said.
"Yes, I did say that Xie Mi is devoted to me, and I can guarantee that now. But I took advantage of her when we were dating before, and now she probably wants to take revenge on me..."
“…”
"What else can I do? I have to bear it. Now the public opinion is comforting her. I guess she has gotten a little too proud of herself and wants to play with me for a few more days. But I am sure that she still likes me in her heart."
“…”
"Otherwise, she could just ignore me. Why would she bother to make me unhappy again and again? To put it bluntly, she still doesn't want to draw a clear line with me."
“…”
"She just wants to see my attitude now. I just need to maintain this image and wait until she calms down. She will come back to me obediently. Then I can issue a few press releases saying that it was just a couple's conflict, and all the problems will be solved."
“…”
After finishing the call with his agent, Xiao Jingxi rubbed his brows with a slightly tired look, and then prepared to go back to the dormitory.
But I saw a figure standing at the garden gate.
"!!!"
Xiao Jingxi's heart nearly jumped out of his chest with fear. After realizing that the person standing there was a human being and not a ghost, he managed to calm down a little and tried to say in a calm tone, "Brother Jinche, why haven't you slept yet?"
"I wanted to chat with Emperor Xiao, but since I saw you were on the phone, I didn't bother you for now."
Yu Jinche was still very obedient, but that sweet smile seemed inexplicably frightening under the quiet moonlight.
But thinking back to Yu Jinche's usual quiet and non-troublemaking character, Xiao Jingxi thought it was just his illusion.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Let's talk about my sister."
Yu Jinche's smile became deeper.
Xiao Jingxi was instantly alert, "What did you just hear?"
"It doesn't matter what I heard. What matters is that I want to help you pursue my sister."
"?"
Xiao Jingxi's eyes sank. Naturally, he would not believe such poor words. "Do you think I will believe it? You like Xie Mi too."
"I liked my sister before, but I also have self-esteem. My sister rejected me repeatedly, which really made me feel embarrassed."
Yu Jinche lowered his eyes and sighed, "After returning to school after the recording session, my classmates laughed at me, saying that as an amateur, I dared to pursue a female star, which was a bit ignorant..."
"My love for my sister is ultimately not as strong as my self-esteem. I actually thought about leaving the show, but the contract has already been signed, so I have no choice but to go ahead with it."
"I originally wanted to try again, but as you can see, my sister has been even more ruthless to me this season, and I really can't hold on any longer."
"Since I've given up on my sister, I was thinking, why not help you."
“I have been dissatisfied with Mr. Shen for a long time. Don’t you think he has a sense of calmness that doesn’t take all of us seriously?”
"In that case, why not try to make him lose face?"
“Xiao Yingdi, you are my sister’s ex-boyfriend, the one she once loved. As long as you are willing, Mr. Shen can’t beat you.”
