Jing Shaoci's heart was pounding, and Yan Zixiu, who was nestled in his arms, heard it clearly.
Jing Shaoci held his hand, then lowered his head and kissed his fingertips, and said with a slightly rising tone: "Do you want to do something with me that only husband and wife can do?"
If other people heard this, they would definitely think of going to bed, but in Yan Zixiu's understanding, Jing Shaoci was going to kiss him again.
He immediately struggled to sit up, and then stood up holding his ribs.
Jing Shaoci hurriedly coaxed: "Yan Yan, I was just teasing you just now."
After saying that, he wanted to pull Yan Zixiu back into his arms.
But no matter whether what he said was true or false, Yan Zixiu would not give him another chance.
He went straight to the closet to get his clothes, and then went to the bathroom.
That night, Jing Shaoci didn't sleep all night.
Every once in a while, he would gently touch Yan Zixiu's ribs with his right hand until the bones inside were repaired by the spiritual energy and the skin and flesh were lifted up.
The next morning, only Yan Zixiu got up.
He glanced at Jing Shaoci beside him and chose to get out of bed quietly.
Just after brushing his teeth, Li Fengzhi called.
"Zixiu, I got the endorsement of Hoparfa!!"
Li Fengzhi has always been gentle and easy-going. He even had a low self-esteem in the past and rarely got so excited.
Yan Zixiu also knew that this international top luxury brand was negotiated by Li Fengzhi from scratch and step by step for nearly half a year.
A smile appeared in his eyes, and he said, "Congratulations to you and myself."
Li Fengzhi took a deep breath and said with a slight choke, "Zixiu, I finally did something useful for you."
In the past, Hoparfa only cooperated with brand friends in Asia, but this time he won the spokesperson for the entire Asia-Pacific region, and his status was completely different.
Not only that, as long as he got this endorsement, Yan Zixiu would have at least three of the first covers of heavyweight magazines next year.
"Why is there only this one? If it weren't for you, I might have retired from the entertainment industry long ago."
He didn't say this deliberately to comfort Li Fengzhi. He really saw the meaning of the star's job in him.
Gu Shiyi had a dark face on the side. It was not a pleasant experience to see his wife crying and calling his cousin's wife early in the morning.
The two talked for a long time before ending the call.
After washing his face, Yan Zixiu walked out of the bathroom and came to the bed.
He leaned over and lifted the quilt slightly, put Jing Shaoci's arm in, and then covered the quilt again.
After going downstairs, Xie Wanxin immediately called him for breakfast.
"Xiu Xiu, where's Xiaoci?"
Yan Zixiu replied, "Still sleeping."
"Then let him have a good rest, we'll eat first."
Yan Zixiu had just sat down when Xie Chongyun, who was sitting in a baby chair next to him, suddenly called out, "Sister-in-law, hey, eat."
Xie Chongyun was already over one year old, and although he still spoke word by word, he could already fully explain the address.
Yan Zixiu picked up the small bowl of fruit and vegetable puree in front of him, and then taught him earnestly: "I am your second brother."
He pointed at himself and repeated, "Second, brother."
Xie Chongyun half-opened his mouth and looked at his face. After a few seconds, he said loudly: "Sister-in-law!"
As expected of a brother from the same mother, he was just as annoying as a little bitter melon.
Xie Guanxin was trying to hold back her laughter, and even Jing Fengyi had a smile in his eyes.
Yan Zixiu took a deep breath and resignedly picked up the small spoon in the bowl.
Xie Chongyun ate very well and was very easy to feed. When there was only a small mouthful of fruit and vegetable puree left in the bowl, Jing Fengyi took the bowl.
"Go and have breakfast."
Xie Guanxin asked the servant to serve Yan Zixiu soup again and asked him if he wanted to eat something else.
"That's all, thank you, Mom."
When Jing Shaoci woke up, Yan Zixiu had already gone out to work.
Today's announcement is a talk show, and the guests are the director of the "War Zone" crew and several important actors in the movie.
Except for the early theater promotion, Yan Zixiu did not participate much in the mid- and late-stage promotion, so Li Fengzhi agreed to this announcement.
Just the day before yesterday, "War Zone" was officially taken off the shelves with a box office of 4.1 billion.
The box office performance of tribute films is usually not bad, but the number of 4.1 billion is definitely a milestone.
When he arrived at the TV station's dressing room, Yan Zixiu found that Cao Xing was also there this time.
"Busy man, it's not easy to see you once." Cao Xing patted his arm and teased with a smile.
After the two sat down and started to put on makeup, Cao Xing asked, "What have you been busy with recently?"
"I just finished a fairy drama."
The two chatted and put on makeup, and Cao Xing suddenly asked something: "I heard that you will play the leading role in the movie "An Feng"?"
Yan Zixiu thought about it, and then said, "The crew didn't contact me."
"No wonder, it's just a pie in the sky." After Cao Xing finished speaking, he leaned over and lowered his voice and said, "Director Fang of An Feng has a bad reputation in the circle, so you should pay more attention."
Yan Zixiu nodded, "Thank you for reminding me."
After the two finished their makeup, their assistants brought the program outline.
Everyone who has come into contact with Yan Zixiu knows that he is a man of few words, and basically doesn't say anything if he can, so the program team rarely assigns him questions.
The recording was in a small studio. After putting on a waist microphone, Yan Zixiu came on stage from the backstage.
As soon as he appeared, the fans in the audience immediately screamed.
Yan Zixiu looked at the various banners and cheering light boards in their hands, waved at them, and said, "Thank you, you have worked hard."
"It's not hard!" The fans replied excitedly.
After the recording of this interview program was completed, all of Yan Zixiu's fans were waiting in front of the door.
Originally, the TV station arranged for him to leave through the side door, but Yan Zixiu thought about it and chose to go through the main door.
"Brother Yan will come out in a while. Please keep your voices down. I will discuss with Brother Li to sign a few more autographs for you."
The assistant went out first to maintain order, and the fans were also very obedient and expressed their cooperation.
When Yan Zixiu came out, although the fans still made a wave of shouts, it was obvious that they were restrained.
Yan Zixiu took the golden signing pen and signed almost one by one, but he did not take the gifts from the fans, only accepted a few letters.
Just as he was about to wave and leave, a woman wearing a mask suddenly shouted: "Mine hasn't been signed yet!!"
Yan Zixiu glanced at her, then turned around and got into the car under the escort of the bodyguards.
"Yan Zixiu, do you think you can still be a star if no one supports you? I spent so much money on you and I still have to look at your face?!"
"What right do you have to scold him!" A fan next to him was red-eyed and said angrily: "I was just next to you. Brother signed two photos for you, and he didn't sign them because you took out the notebook!"
"You are too much!"
"I don't think you are a fan. You must be selling things signed by Brother Xiu!"
Under the accusations of the fans at the scene, the woman screamed and cursed, and the scene was immediately in chaos.
After the nanny car drove away from the TV station gate, Li Fengzhi received a call.
After a while, he looked at Yan Zixiu and said, "The charity organization said that your T-shirt was sold out on the day it was put on the shelves. Now there are still many people who want it. I hope we can agree to make more."
"Okay." After agreeing, he said, "I will personally donate another 3 million for environmental protection."
Li Fengzhi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll contact them right away."
After signing the endorsement contract with the Hoparfa brand, although there has been no official announcement, Yan Zixiu immediately entered the advertising shoot.
As the spokesperson for Asia Pacific's full range of products, Yan Zixiu not only has to shoot the men's clothing theme of The Dream of Eden this time, but also has to match the brand's accessories, watches, perfumes and other products.
He went to four countries to shoot this series of ads. Just from the money invested in the shooting, one can feel the generosity of the top luxury brand.
The second batch of eco-friendly T-shirts was put on the shelves again. This time, the 20,000 pieces were snapped up even faster than the last time. They were all sold out in less than ten seconds.
Because of this speed, fans who didn't get the chance to grab them were "wailing" in the super chat.
"After this is over, you can almost rest. I also have my annual leave. Then we can go out for a trip together."
Yan Zixiu turned his head to look at Li Fengzhi who was speaking, and then they both smiled at the same time.
If they could choose, with their personalities, they would definitely prefer to stay at home, but there was no way, they each had a partner full of resentment.
"Okay, let's go together."
The next day after he said this, the topic [Yan Zixiu's tracing and plagiarism] topped the hot search list.
A big V in the calligraphy and painting circles released six comparison pictures, severely accusing Yan Zixiu of imitating the "Mountains and Seas Reflecting Snow" on the environmental protection T-shirt from the "Lin Zhao Feng He Tu" by the Song Dynasty painter Cao Shimian.
The pictures released on Weibo were very detailed, even the similarities in the strokes were described in detail, and it was obvious that they were well prepared.
Just as Xingyi was urgently dealing with this matter, another incident was exposed: [Yan Zixiu's bodyguard beats fans]
In the video, a man holding a SLR camera was pushed to the ground by his bodyguard, and the scene was in chaos.
This incident happened on the day when Yan Zixiu just entered "Zhi Tian Wen Dao" and Jing Shaoci went to visit the set.
The man in the video was a proxy photographer, who not only pulled and harassed Yan Zixiu but also insulted him. However, the video only showed the man falling to the ground, and did not show the cause of the conflict.
Within two hours, the topic [Yan Zixiu fans fought and were taken to the police station] was once again on the hot search.
In the video, several female fans in their early twenties were fighting with a woman wearing a mask, and the next ten seconds or so showed Yan Zixiu getting into the car indifferently.
In fact, it was Yan Zixiu who got into the car and left first, and then the fight happened. As a result, after editing, many people thought that what they saw was the truth.
[I really don’t understand today’s fans, are they all brain-dead? What's the point of chasing after a star like this? You fight for him, but he doesn't even turn his head back. I feel ashamed for your parents. ]
[Yan Zixiu's aloof personality is really fucked up. His fans fought like that in front of him, but he remained indifferent. ]
[How can someone who plagiarizes even when doing charity work be a good person? Please be a human being before becoming a star. ]
After these things, someone even shot a video of burning an environmental protection T-shirt and uploaded it to Weibo, with the caption: Being a fan of you is the most disgusting thing I have ever done.
That night, someone edited the behind-the-scenes and Reuters videos of Yan Zixiu's several dramas.
In every scene, whether it was someone talking to Yan Zixiu or waiting for the scene during filming, Yan Zixiu always looked expressionless.
Even when the director spoke to him, Yan Zixiu did not respond.
In fact, the two of them were standing in front of the monitor, and the director said that Yan Zixiu's eyes were not in place, and asked him to calm down and observe the subtle emotional changes in the screen, so Yan Zixiu did not speak.
[Sure enough, when you become famous, you look down on others. Now when I see Yan Zixiu's arrogant look, I want to vomit.]
[No wonder Yan Zixiu celebrated his birthday last year. Except for those people in the same crew at that time, no other stars commented and sent blessings. What a bad relationship.]
The overwhelming black hot searches came one after another, and the negative news was endless.
That night, a female student who claimed to be from G University posted a long Weibo post of more than a thousand words.
At the beginning, she introduced her situation. After the first paragraph, the college student claimed that she had lost hope of living, and the instigator was Yan Zixiu and his agency.
Because of a Weibo post she published last year, she was sued by Xingyi Entertainment for "defamation".
The trial ended last month, and the court ruled that she should publish an apology announcement on Weibo and pay Yan Zixiu 30,000 yuan in mental damages and 1,500 yuan in notarization fees, a total of 31,500 yuan.
This female college student said that she was a poor student, and being able to pay tuition was the limit of her parents, and the more than 30,000 yuan was the last straw that broke the camel's back for her whole family.
At the end of the long article, the female college student tearfully said that she was unfilial and hoped to be a good daughter to her parents in her next life.
Even under the comments of this long article, fans have been explaining that this blogger is a professional black fan, who has posted hundreds of insulting Weibo posts about Yan Zixiu, and even photoshopped his posthumous photos.
But even so, there are still people who retort.
[Which celebrity is not scolded nowadays, only Yan Zixiu is precious? You want to force people to die just because they scold you?]
[Now that this blogger can't survive, you brain-dead fans are still speaking for your brother. You have no humanity to be a fan of a celebrity, right?]
For a while, the comments denouncing Yan Zixiu were like a storm, and Yan Zixiu himself became an unforgivable sinner.
Li Fengzhi did not sleep all night, dealing with various things.
It was still daytime in China, and his cell phone was connected to a video call with artist director Xie Chengyuan.
"Zixiu has had such a smooth journey that some people couldn't help themselves. When the T-shirt incident came out, all the dirt they had prepared was dumped out at once." Xie Chengyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, I'm so mean."
Li Fengzhi closed his eyes and pinched his brows. After a few seconds, he put down his hands and said, "Zixiu doesn't know about these things yet. I plan to let him draw another picture and then film the whole process."
"It's useless to do this. Do you think you can stop those people..."
"We have to do it no matter whether it's useful or not!" Li Fengzhi suddenly became stronger, "If we let the situation develop, it will only get worse."
Xie Chengyuan took a deep breath and then exhaled forcefully, "You're right, I was also too busy. Don't take my words just now to heart."
"Nothing."
After hanging up the phone, Li Fengzhi waited in the room until eight o'clock, then went to the bathroom to wash his face.
When Li Fengzhi opened the door and came in, Yan Zixiu was still meditating.
A few minutes later, he slowly opened his eyes.
"So early, what's up?"
There was only one last photo shoot left today, scheduled for the afternoon.
Li Fengzhi tried his best to look normal, so he smiled gently and said, "I really like the painting "Mountains and Seas Reflecting Snow" you painted last time. Can you paint another one for me?"
Yan Zixiu's eyes passed over the obvious fatigue on his face and asked, "Do you want the same one?"
"No." Li Fengzhi looked at him and said, "Paint one with a deeper meaning."
Yan Zixiu looked at him and fell silent.
Li Fengzhi licked his lips nervously, then forced a smile and said, "Shi Yi and I's new home will be renovated soon, and I want to hang your painting in the living room."
This excuse sounded quite reasonable, but the next call disrupted his plan.
After Yan Zixiu picked up the phone and answered it, Lu Qiaobei's voice came from the other end.
"Brother Yan, this is Xiaobei. Do you still have the "Mountains and Seas Reflecting Snow"? "
Two people mentioned the same painting at the same time. If they said nothing happened, even a child would not believe it.
Yan Zixiu looked at Li Fengzhi with his eyes and said, "It should still be there."
Lu Qiaobei said, "Then ask someone to express it to me right away, and I'll send the address to you on WeChat later."
After saying this, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
After putting down his phone, Yan Zixiu said, "Li Jingji, is there something wrong with my painting?"
Ten minutes later, Yan Zixiu, who had heard everything, lowered his eyes and smiled.
"No matter how the mountains and rivers change, the human heart is always the most terrifying thing."
Li Fengzhi opened his mouth, but didn't know how to comfort him.
At this moment, Yan Zixiu's phone kept vibrating again.
When the two were talking just now, Lu Qiaobei sent more than a dozen WeChat messages to urge him, and now he just called again.
After Yan Zixiu answered the call, he pressed the hands-free function.
"Brother Yan, hurry up! I told you that my grandfather is the president of the Chinese Calligraphers and Painters Association. Isn't that more useful than the words of that idiot on Weibo?"
Yan Zixiu raised his lips slightly and asked back, "Aren't you afraid that I am really tracing?"
"Don't tease me at this critical moment, okay? It's really the emperor who is not anxious, but the eunuch is." After saying that, Lu Qiaobei immediately said, "No, there is no eunuch as handsome as me."
After hearing this, Li Fengzhi on the side couldn't help laughing.
After ending the call, Yan Zixiu handed the phone over.
Li Fengzhi took it and immediately said after reading the message: "The address he gave is in City B. No need for express delivery. I will ask Xiao Liu to deliver the painting right now."
But when he called his assistant, the assistant told him that President Yunsheng had sent someone to take the painting away more than an hour ago.
"Zixiu, please contact Mr. Jing to ask about the situation."
Unexpectedly, Yan Zixiu said calmly: "No need, he has his own uses."
After hearing this news, Lu Qiaobei had no choice but to get discouraged and drove back to his grandfather's house first.
As soon as he entered the house, Grandma Lu smiled happily and said, "Xiaobei, how did you know you were back today?"
Lu Qiaobei asked directly, "Grandma, where is my grandpa?"
Seeing his anxious face, Grandma Lu raised her hand and pointed, "A few people just came and gave two paintings. Your grandpa is in the study."
Hearing this, Lu Qiaobei immediately walked towards the study.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw his grandpa holding a magnifying glass in his hand, leaning over a painting and looking at it seriously.
"Grandpa, I have something to do..."
"Shh." Lu Shaoli stopped him from saying the next word, and said without raising his head, "Don't talk, go out and close the door."
Lu Qiaobei ignored her and walked over with his mobile phone.
"Grandpa, I really have something urgent to talk to you about!"
Lu Shaoli still ignored him, so Lu Qiaobei simply covered the painting in front of him with his hand.
With a 'slap', Lu Shaoli slapped the back of his hand, "You are messing around."
Lu Qiaobei seized the opportunity and quickly raised his phone in front of him and said, "Help me see if this painting is similar to that, that Cao's "Linzhao Fenghe Tu"?"
Lu Shaoli was about to get angry when he heard that he couldn't even name the painter, but he was stunned when he looked at the screen of his mobile phone.
He squinted his eyes for a while, then lowered his head to look at the table, pointed and said: "Isn't this the painting on your phone?"
Lu Qiaobei was stunned, and when he lowered his head, it was indeed Yan Zixiu's "Mountains and Seas Reflecting Snow".
He widened his eyes and shouted: "Why is this painting here with you?!"
After listening to the whole story of sending the painting, Lu Qiaobei half opened his mouth with a very complicated expression.
After a while, he hissed and frowned, "No, even if it was sent by President Yunsheng, you are not the kind of person who would mind other people's business."
Lu Shaoli smiled kindly, picked up another painting and said, "This is Wang Zhen's "Autumn Goose Picture" from the Yuan Dynasty, which was donated to the association by Mr. Jing."
In a blink of an eye, a day passed.
Just as Yan Zixiu was flying back to China, the secretary placed two documents in front of Jing Shaoci.
"President, the hotel video of the day when the paparazzi and Mr. Yan's bodyguard had a conflict has been sent over. This is the information of the female college student who wanted to commit suicide."
Jing Shaoci flipped open the document, looked at it with a frosty face and said, "Go on."
"This Weibo blogger named Liu Ying is not a student of G University at all. She is an employee of a marketing team. The main business of this company is to spread rumors or insult celebrities in the form of revelations on major platforms in order to earn commissions or attract traffic."
The secretary finished the report concisely, and then started talking about the second thing.
"This is a written explanation of the fan fight on the TV station. All the parties involved have been found and have signed on it."
Jing Shaoci read the two documents, then raised his cold eyes and said, "Print a copy of each and send it to Xingyi immediately."
Yan Zixiu is now at the center of the storm. After learning that he has returned from abroad, a large number of media rushed to the airport.
Yan Zixiu and the team just came out of the VIP channel, and more than a dozen bodyguards immediately came forward.
"Mr. Yan, we are sent by Mr. Jing to escort you home."
The reporters knew that Yan Zixiu would definitely take the VIP route, so there were people squatting at the two exits and the parking lot.
"Yan Zixiu is out!!"
At this time, someone shouted, and all the media reporters immediately ran in the direction of the sound.
When a large number of people carrying cameras ran to the parking lot, four cars of the same model immediately started to turn around.
While the bodyguards were driving around, Yan Zixiu and Li Fengzhi boarded the plane again.
Li Fengzhi was puzzled. If he stayed, it would be easier to confuse those reporters. Why was he sent on the plane too?
"Zixiu, why are we going to...Finland?" Li Fengzhi, who was sitting in the first class cabin, asked blankly.
Yan Zixiu didn't know either, but just said, "Since it was arranged by Jing Shaoci, we'll talk about it when we get there."
More than ten hours later, the plane landed in Rovaniemi in northern Finland.
Li Fengzhi was still confused until he passed the customs.
As soon as the two of them emerged from the exit passage, Gu Shiyi's voice immediately rang out, "Wife, I'm here!"
Yan Zixiu looked at the other party waving his hands vigorously, turned his head and said to Li Fengzhi, "When have I ever seen your naughty child always so lively?"
Li Fengzhi couldn't help but laugh, but his pace unconsciously quickened.
After the two of them walked out, Gu Shiyi hugged Li Fengzhi and groaned, "Wife, I miss you so much."
Jing Shaoci took the suitcase from Yan Zixiu's hand, and then handed over the down coat and scarf on his other arm.
"It's cold outside."
Yan Zixiu took it and put it on, and then the two walked towards the exit side by side.
After the four of them got into the car, Li Fengzhi hurriedly asked: "Mr. Jing, those things on the Internet..."
"It's all been resolved." Jing Shaoci said coldly.
Li Fengzhi's eyes suddenly lit up with surprise, "Really?"
Gu Shiyi raised his hand to cover him back, pinched his ear and said: "Well, you still don't believe in my brother's methods?"
Li Fengzhi raised the corners of his lips high, and then he was completely relieved.
After hearing these words, Yan Zixiu leaned slightly towards Jing Shaoci and said: "Thank you."
After that, he secretly held the other's hand.
Jing Shaoci clasped his slender fingers and held his fingers together.
Yan Zixiu slept very calmly on the plane, while Li Fengzhi didn't close his eyes for more than ten hours.
Since all the problems were solved, Li Fengzhi fell asleep leaning against Gu Shiyi with peace of mind.
After arriving at the destination, Gu Shiyi first folded Li Fengzhi's coat, and then carefully put on his hat, and then carefully carried him out of the car.
The four of them entered the two-story wooden house in the forest, and a warm breath instantly hit them.
Gu Shiyi went upstairs first and put Li Fengzhi in his arms on the bed, while Jing Shaoci and Yan Zixiu downstairs took off their coats.
Not long after, the private butler came to deliver dinner.
"Brother Yan, look how tired you made my wife. The dark circles under her eyes are so obvious." Gu Shiyi complained while eating.
Jing Shaoci raised his eyes and gave him a cold look, while Yan Zixiu said, "Sorry."
After dinner, the three sat together and talked.
Before saying a few words, Yan Zixiu suddenly said to Jing Shaoci: "I want to drink juice, is that okay?"
Jing Shaoci did not answer, but stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
After the others walked away, Yan Zixiu looked at Gu Shiyi seriously and said: "If I want to propose to your cousin, how much betrothal gift do I need to prepare?"
"Puff——"
A mouthful of coffee almost went into Gu Shiyi's nose. He coughed hard twice, and then stuttered: "You want to marry, marry my brother?!"
