Chapter 044
Weibo and the performers took strict and slow measures, but they only prevented Xu Jingning from causing trouble on the show. Who would have thought that he would be able to create a big scandal of his own after the recording was over.
Just as the popularity of today's live broadcast had not yet reached its peak, it was squeezed out by a group of explosive photos.
By the time Xu Xingcheng got through the call, more than an hour had passed.
The person on the other side still acted as if he had lived a peaceful life and didn't know what disaster was coming: "What are you in such a hurry for?"
After returning, the first thing Xu Jingning did was to check the USB flash drive given by Shen Luo, and he didn't pay any attention to his mobile phone at all.
After getting a general idea of what was inside, he instructed 2874 to look for information in that direction while he leisurely took a bath.
When he returned to bed and did his usual bedtime routine of checking his phone, he discovered that his phone had been ringing non-stop.
He had a premonition before calling back, but because of his recent experience of becoming an internet celebrity, Xu Jingning felt that nothing could shock him more now.
Now that he was here, he would make the best of it. Xu Jingning now had a big heart...
Xu Xingcheng: "You and Yan Xun were photographed."
Xu Jingning: “…”
Both sides were silent for two full seconds before Xu Jingning replied in disbelief: "What did you say?"
"I heard that you and your dear teacher Yan were photographed going out to the mall at night!" The more Xu Xingcheng talked, the angrier he got. "You two really have nothing to do! So late at night! And right after the recording session! Why not go shopping in the mall?"
She no longer had an idol filter for Yan Xun. She saw him as a restless person who could become a hot topic at any time along with her brother. "And holding hands! Not only holding hands, but you didn't even cover your faces. Are you afraid that the whole internet doesn't know that you two are together?"
The opponent kept talking nonsense, but Xu Jingning's brain got stuck when he heard the first sentence, and he didn't try to find out the misunderstanding in Xu Xingcheng's words.
He hurriedly asked, "Has the trending search been removed now?"
Xu Xingcheng rolled his eyes: "We did retreat. I guess Yan Xun made a move. But you guys were unlucky enough to catch the evening rush hour. There must have been a lot of people seeing you."
Xu Jingning had a toothache.
He began to wonder if it was retribution for all the years of eating melons that caused him to fail so frequently.
"So you're calling me now to ask me to help you deal with the aftermath?"
"No, now that the trending searches have been removed, it's best to not respond." Xu Xingcheng sighed, and even his tone became more mature. "I'm just reminding you not to cause trouble for your sister. I still want to live a few more years..."
She even began to find joy in the midst of misery, thinking that it was fortunate that the person Xu Jingning was talking to was Yan Xun, and if anything happened, the public relations staff there could share a large part of the pressure.
Otherwise, sooner or later she would be tortured to death by her own good brother.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Jingning thought about what they had just talked about and frowned slightly.
"Yanxun, are you asleep?"
After careful consideration, he went and knocked on the master bedroom door, and soon the door opened from the inside.
Yan Xun was wearing pajamas, and it seemed that he had not had time to button up the top two buttons. The velvet texture of the clothes hung down on his chest, which was very affectionate. "What's wrong?"
Xu Jingning was stunned by this scene and almost forgot the reason why he came here.
"That's right, about what happened tonight..." He started vaguely, "Did you ask someone to remove the trending search?"
In fact, he didn't even have time to search, and somehow he came straight to Yan Xun.
Roughly guessing what the person wanted to ask, Yan Xun lowered his eyes and smiled: "Yes."
"Don't let these insignificant little things affect your mood."
"And what's more important now is to give the attention to the production team."
That makes sense.
It seems that the half sentence that Xu Jingning didn't say, "You don't have to do so much for me," seemed too self-indulgent.
But those eyes filled with mockery clearly said, I do this for you.
Xu Jingning didn't continue talking. Instead, Yan Xun opened the door and stepped back: "Come in and talk?"
The person outside the door agreed for some unknown reason.
It's almost midnight, and it's very tempting for a single man and a single woman to be in the same room.
The two of them sat on the sofa beside the bed. Yan Xun poured a glass of milk and handed it to them: "Drink some to help you sleep."
After thanking him, Xu Jingning subconsciously looked around and discovered something he had never noticed in all the times he had come here before - the structure of the master bedroom in Yan Xun's house was exactly the same as that of the villa halfway up the mountain.
I didn't notice it before because the curtains were covered thickly, but now when I opened them I realized that this was also a floor-to-ceiling window.
He unconsciously tightened the wall of the cup and began to get nervous.
Now, this layer of glass behind them...can't it be the same structure?
Perhaps because the feeling was too strong, Xu Jingning suddenly smelled a hint of fragrance. He immediately found a topic to force a conversation: "Did you light some incense in the bedroom? It smells nice."
Unexpectedly, Yan Xun was startled when he heard this: "Incense? There is some in the car, but I won't put it in the bedroom. It will affect the quality of sleep."
"That's strange, why do I seem to smell a little bit..." Xu Jingning closed his eyes and began to search, "The smell is very faint, but..."
Why do I seem to have smelled it somewhere before?
When he noticed that the smell was a little stronger, a hand rested on his shoulder. Xu Jingning opened his eyes and found that he was less than ten centimeters away from Yan Xun.
Yan Xun smiled mischievously: "Did you find it?"
Xu Jingning hesitated for a moment, then suddenly reacted and stepped back fiercely.
Shit, this smell actually came from Yan Xun???
In an instant, many images flashed through Xu Jingning's mind, from the first live broadcast of the protection of the underground garage to sleeping in the same bed two days ago. This scent gradually took on a certain meaning and melted into the shape of Yan Xun in his mind.
And the "body fragrance" that the makeup artist mentioned to him with a smile at the end of a round of performances...
The retreat was too sudden, almost a subconscious reaction, so Xu Jingning didn't notice at all that the place he was in was too small, with only a small sofa and a glass window behind him.
"careful!"
Xu Jingning closed his eyes again.
It was not until he felt someone bumping the back of his head that he reacted and looked around in surprise.
But unexpectedly, he saw Yan Xun's face just a few inches away.
Thanks to his quick reach out and hold on, Xu Jingning's head was prevented from hitting the corner of the sofa.
A trace of pain appeared on that impeccably handsome face.
Xu Jingning didn't think about the awkward distance between them at all. She hurriedly stood up and touched Yan Xun's hand: "Are you okay?"
But because they were too close, he almost threw himself into the other's arms.
Yan Xun's eyes moved, but he didn't remind him, allowing him to pinch his hand in this awkward position.
The skin at the bent joint was slightly broken and a little blood seeped out.
Yan Xun smiled and consoled her: "Looks like we need to get a thicker sofa."
But Xu Jingning was not comforted by him. Instead, her brows furrowed deeper.
"I'm sorry." His voice was very low. He pulled out a tissue beside him, but didn't dare to wipe it directly. "It's all my fault for being too reckless."
"It's nothing, don't blame yourself."
But Xu Jingning was inexplicably concerned: "Do you have a medicine box? I can help you apply the medicine?"
Originally, he thought that this minor scratch was not worth making a fuss about, but upon hearing the second half of the sentence, Yan Xun immediately changed his words: "It's in the bedside table, on the bottom floor."
Xu Jingning took out iodine and disinfectant according to the places he pointed, and gently wiped those fingers with cotton swabs. After applying the medicine, he stared at Yan Xun's hand seriously, as if he wanted to watch him until he recovered.
In fact, Yan Xun felt that even if he didn't disinfect, he could just wash his hands and take a nap, and maybe he would feel better when he woke up tomorrow morning.
But Xu Jingning's attitude was obviously difficult to persuade.
He choked up and said, "Now the medicine has been taken, you should go to bed. It's already very late at this time."
But Xu Jingning shook his head seriously: "I'll watch you. Anyway, you don't have to record the show tomorrow, and it's the same if you catch up on some sleep in the morning."
Yan Xun: “…”
How to persuade this.
"You are a young actor I think highly of. You can't ruin your body by not sleeping." Yan Xun began to adopt a conciliatory policy, stretching out his other uninjured hand to rub Xu Jingning's hair. "You stayed up all night. It's unnecessary. Besides, if you don't record tomorrow, you will have to record the day after tomorrow. If you don't get enough rest, it will take many days to recover. Will you listen?"
Xu Jingning's face seemed to be moved, but he still insisted in a low voice: "But you have helped me so much, and I always cause trouble for you."
"Why do you keep causing trouble?" Yan Xun smiled, "If you hadn't taken care of me when I had a fever before, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly."
But Xu Jingning still insisted on staying.
Seeing that he was so persistent, Yan Xun no longer backed down, so he moved out another quilt and invited him to sleep together.
It’s a bit magical when you think about it. A few days ago, I had to lie to get her into my arms, but now I’m being proactive.
After hearing the invitation and assurance from Yan Xun, Xu Jingning's eyes lit up, but soon, while the other party wasn't paying attention, he regained his determined expression.
We slept in the same bed again, but without the messy thoughts like in the past few days.
Xu Jingning lay in the master bedroom with peace of mind. Before going to sleep, he held that hand and asked about Yan Xun's well-being. He did not let go until Yan Xun's expression could no longer be tense, and then he lay down obediently.
Early the next morning, one of the two quilts that were originally separated neatly was missing. At some point, Xu Jingning rolled into his arms again.
Yan Xun looked at the face that was sleeping so peacefully, smiled and sighed.
Why can't I do anything about him?
"Um... Yan Xun? Good morning?"
I don’t know what woke him up, but Xu Jingning also woke up and got out of bed while greeting everyone.
Then, as if he remembered nothing, he calmly left the master bedroom.
Yan Xun looked at his hand which was a little numb from being pressed, and the back of his hand where the scars had disappeared, and then he realized what was happening.
Yan Xun: “…”
The affectionate looks on some people's faces last night were just acting on purpose.
It turns out that he came here just to stay in bed.
He laughed a little and pinched his fingertip which was intact but still had some traces of iodine.
What to do? Some little ones seem to particularly like the smell of him.
No wonder he took advantage of it.
