Although Zhang Hai had never seen Li Chengyuan in person, he instantly realized something when he was glanced at by that cold and intimidating gaze.
Looking at the huge entourage and the flattering smile of his immediate superior, who else could the person in front of him be other than that big shot?
But the VIP lounge is on the second floor of the inner hall, far away from the outer waiting area set up for the red carpet walk. How could Mr. Li suddenly appear here?
Not only were Zhang Hai and the group of people who had guessed Li Chengyuan's identity very surprised, even Xia Xingchi himself was very confused.
Just now Li Chengyuan asked him if he was cold, and he smiled and said that he was not cold.
After all, they are just an agreement couple and not real lovers, so it is impossible to expect his cold boss to send him clothes.
Seeing Li Chengyuan appear here with a thick coat draped over his arms, Xia Xingchi's heart moved - is he here to bring me clothes?
The thought flashed through my mind, and I suddenly remembered a time when the temperature dropped sharply when I was a child. I was also shivering and looking at the children with envy as they put on the thick clothes given by their parents.
An indescribable feeling of satisfaction and happiness suddenly filled my heart. So this is what it feels like to be given warmth by a “parent”.
Xia Xingchi was trying to break the opponent's hand a second ago, but this second he let go and took the initiative to retract the thorns on his body.
He completely forgot that he had accidentally stepped on the tail of the villain and was trying to avoid being chased.
He subconsciously took a step towards Li Chengyuan, but unexpectedly, while he was distracted for a moment, he was suddenly pushed hard by someone, and then he staggered and almost fell.
Zhang Hai pushed away Xia Xingchi who was blocking his way, and rushed towards Li Chengyuan like a servile person as if he had met his real father. It was obvious that the importance of Xia Xingchi, a "nobody", could not be compared with that of the big tycoons.
Xia Xingchi was instantly furious, thinking that he should not have shown mercy just now. He should have let this idiot experience what it felt like to have a dislocated wrist, and see if he dared to do that again.
Zhang Hai came forward and asked ingratiatingly: "Mr. Li, why are you here?"
I've heard from inside sources that Li Chengyuan is here to accompany his lover today. Could it be that the big boss who never shows his face will accompany him on the red carpet?
He had long guessed the identity of this mysterious lover. Combining his age, identity and various rumors, he was most likely the only young master of the Xia family - Xia Yu!
Therefore, Zhang Hai had foresight and started to curry favor, thinking that this was a good opportunity to take credit.
But Li Chengyuan looked at him with a gloomy look in his eyes, without saying a word. The frightening and oppressive feeling suddenly intensified exponentially after he pushed the person just now.
He also noticed that his immediate superior had a frozen expression on his face since then, looking at him with a horrible expression as if he was looking at a dead person.
Even the fool realized something was wrong. Zhang Hai became suspicious and asked tremblingly in a low voice: "Mr. Li, you——"
Xia Xingchi's voice suddenly rang out from the side: "Didn't you just ask Li Chengyuan to beat you? Are you ready to be beaten by coming forward like this?"
Zhang Hai:?
He was already afraid, and this little 18th-tier guy dared to show off his presence and call Li Chengyuan by his name. He was immediately shocked and angry:
"What nonsense are you talking about! When did I ever say that?"
"I would have to be crazy to let Mr. Li beat me for no reason. Did I let your fiancé...?!"
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Hai suddenly realized something, and stared at the "third-tier star with no backing" in front of him with wide eyes as if he had seen a ghost.
Xia Xingchi shrugged: "Yes, my fiancé is here."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a bomb thrown at the crowd.
After the loud "boom", the people who were originally whispering suddenly fell silent, and all of them had the same shocked expression as Zhang Hai.
"This is Li..." someone said in a low voice.
Another person quickly covered her mouth: "Shh! Keep your voice down!"
The assistant who had made the loudest malicious speculation earlier was so scared that his hand slipped and half the cup of scalding coffee spilled onto his collar.
After the scorching heat, it was damp and cold. The man didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that Xia Xingchi would notice him and take revenge on him later.
However, Xia Xingchi was obviously too lazy to pay attention to them. He had already cast his eager and loving gaze towards Li Chengyuan...and the clothes in his hand.
——This heartless guy only cares about clothes and not people. He hasn’t even settled the score for sneaking away to take the bus alone.
Li Chengyuan then frowned unhappily, ignored him with a sullen face as if in a fit of anger, and even deliberately refused to give him clothes, just letting him continue to shiver.
When everyone saw this, they had no idea that this was just the boss's sudden childishness and the awkwardness between the young couple. They thought that Li Chengyuan was angry about what had just happened, so they didn't dare to breathe, for fear of being innocently targeted.
“A-choo!”
The silence lasted for a few seconds before being interrupted by Xia Xingchi's loud sneeze.
He was so cold that the tip of his nose was red, and even the corners of his eyes were a little red. Although he didn't make any expression, the way he blinked and stared at his clothes gave people the illusion of being lovable.
Li Chengyuan pursed his lips and finally sighed helplessly. After all, he was the one who softened his heart before the other person learned to ask for help, and he couldn't bear to see him suffer any injustice.
He did not directly hand the clothes in his hand to Xia Xingchi, but motioned to Secretary Ye beside him to take it.
Then he took off his coat, walked forward and wrapped Xia Xingchi up tightly, leaving only a small part of his frozen pale face exposed.
The clothes that had just been taken off were warm and carried the faint fragrance of Li Chengyuan, instantly blocking the coldness around them.
...as if it were a solid and reliable embrace.
Xia Xingchi immediately opened his eyes wide. He had never expected Li Chengyuan to be like this.
Especially when this person still had a cold face but lowered his head to carefully tidy up his clothes, the warmth seemed to not only wrap around his whole body, but also turned into heat and numbness that climbed to the tip of his heart, making people unable to help but feel a little uneasy.
——He is quite good-looking.
Xia Xingchi looked at Li Chengyuan's handsome eyes and eyebrows so close to him, and suddenly this thought came to his mind.
He thought about it, and as if to reciprocate, he took the coat from Secretary Ye's hand and carefully put it on Li Chengyuan.
However, this ambiguous and subtle atmosphere only remained between the two of them. Others could only feel great horror. The more they watched the interaction between the two, the more shocked they felt.
The one who was most shocked to the point of legs going limp was Zhang Hai.
Although he helped Xia Yu deal with this little 18th-tier girl because he received a high reward, the real reason was because Xia Yu claimed to be Li Chengyuan's fiancé, and Zhang Hai wanted to please him and do him a favor.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Hai trembled and couldn't understand, how could Mr. Li's fiancé not be Xia Yu?
But Xia Yu clearly admitted this identity himself!
wrong!
He suddenly realized that Xia Yu had never directly admitted this, and only kept it ambiguous "secret". He was just using this identity to deceive others. He was actually a fake!
Unfortunately, it was too late to find out now. Zhang Hai only now realized that he had been deceived and used as a gun, and he had also offended the real Young Master Xia.
He was suddenly filled with fear and anger, knowing that his end would be extremely tragic. For a moment, he wished he could rush forward and die together with Xia Yu.
But when I looked up, where could I see Xia Yu?
.
When Li Chengyuan appeared just now, Xia Yu instantly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly stood up and left while everyone was in a daze.
He had always wanted to get engaged to Li Chengyuan, so he had gotten to know him carefully, and knew how ruthless he could be when he was angry, and he also knew how perceptive he was.
Perhaps with just a glance from Zhang Hai, Li Chengyuan would be able to immediately discover that he was the culprit.
Xia Yu estimated that if he didn't leave, he might be detained on the spot.
Missing a red carpet is a small matter, but disappearing for no reason after building up momentum for such a long time is not only quite embarrassing, but how can one explain the reason for the absence?
After all, she is a popular idol. Her appearance has set off a small climax in the barrage area, and the topic of fighting between fans and haters has started again:
[Xia Yu! After waiting for a long time, the baby is finally here! 】
[So handsome, so handsome, look how good this haute couture dress looks on Xiao Yu, he deserves to be the only one who can borrow this brand]
[Enough of the above, hyping up things all day long. Your family doesn’t even have the latest season’s models, what are you bragging about? 】
[What the grumpy old man said is right. It’s already this weather and you’re still wearing summer and autumn clothes. Don’t you feel cold or embarrassed? 】
[You are just jealous.] Baby Xiao Yu didn’t get to borrow the autumn and winter style because the brand refused to lend it to anyone. Isn’t there anyone wearing it today? 】
Xia Yu has always been very concerned about his reputation. High-end decoration was originally his biggest concern, but at this moment, he could no longer care about it.
He only realized something was wrong when he stepped onto the red carpet. What if Li Chengyuan suddenly instructed the security guards to drag him off the spot? This would be a real-time live broadcast in front of tens of millions of viewers, and the consequences would be disastrous.
[Did you notice that Xia Yu walked very fast today? It seems like something is chasing me from behind.]
[Is this the demeanor of the rich and noble young man you boast about so much? I see, this wealthy family made their fortune from race walking competitions [狗头.jpg]]
[Hahahaha, this is an amazing walking race. All the bamboo shoots on the mountain have been taken away by people upstairs.]
[His expression is stiff. If you don’t know him, you might think he is being chased. Is he going to have a sprint competition on the red carpet? 】
.........
Zhang Hai, looking as pale as death, was dragged out of the door by the security guard called by his immediate superior.
It is a big taboo to secretly take money to squeeze artists, and you will definitely lose your job. With a record of dismissal for misconduct like this in your file, forget about working in this industry, and it will be difficult to apply for jobs in any industry.
As for how Li Chengyuan would deal with him, it was even more terrifying than he could imagine.
All kinds of pleas for mercy and apologies came out all at once, until Zhang Hai was dragged out the door.
Xia Xingchi just turned a deaf ear to him, blinked and looked at Li Chengyuan again, and suddenly realized that the clothes he was wearing were the same as his - he was actually wearing that black couple outfit!
It must be because the account manager had strong sales skills that he was able to convince Li Chengyuan to buy another set.
Thinking of this, Xia Xingchi realized that it was time for him to work.
Although he originally didn't want people to know about his relationship with Li Chengyuan, things had come to this point and he couldn't let the secret show in front of everyone, so he immediately took Li Chengyuan's arm affectionately.
This kind of thing becomes more and more familiar the more you do it, and you will subconsciously rub your head on the villain's shoulder.
I rubbed it twice but it felt wrong.
Li Chengyuan was taller than him, and he used to tilt his shoulders slightly to allow him to stretch his head without any effort, but today he remained unmoved, so Xia Xingchi had to tiptoe slightly.
Xia Xingchi suddenly remembered that he had not yet been punished for stepping on the vengeful big cat's tail. When he looked up, he saw Li Chengyuan looking at him indifferently.
This man always kept a calm face, and to everyone else his expression did not change, but Xia Xingchi could now roughly tell that he was angry.
"Trying to escape" is a minefield that Li Chengyuan cannot touch. The more Xia Xingchi thought about it, the more scared he became. However, he did not dare to move. He froze in place and did not know what to say.
Seeing the atmosphere grow colder due to silence, and no one in the entire waiting area dared to speak, Xia Xingchi had no choice but to look to Lin Meng for help, hoping that she could save the child.
As a half fan of Li Chengyuan, Lin Meng is an expert at imagining melodramatic plots. She just can't figure out how these two things can be connected, and how the tragic love triangle between the handsome driver and the evil sponsor turned out to be such a weird thing.
She finally pulled herself out of the shock, and seeing Xia Xingchi frantically hinting at her to save the situation and break the silence, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:
"Mr. Li, would you like some hot cocoa? This cup has not been touched yet. Or if you want to drink something, I will go buy it..."
Li Chengyuan: “No need.”
This one sentence killed the conversation again.
Xia Xingchi knew that he didn't drink anything sweet, and was struggling to change the topic to warm up the atmosphere, when he heard him continue to say naturally: "Xiao Chi and I can just have a drink."
After saying that, he leaned over and took a sip of the half cup of hot cocoa that Xia Xingchi was holding in his hand.
The action was natural, but Xia Xingchi's eyes immediately widened as if he had seen a ghost.
He had already drunk this cup, so how could such a mysophobic and picky person use his straw to drink hot cocoa that he usually didn't like?
Li Chengyuan pursed his lips slightly, the sweetness lingered on the tip of his tongue, the temperature of Xia Xingchi's soft and hot lips seemed to remain on the straw, as if he was kissing directly...
There was no need to think further, as the tips of his ears were already slightly hot, but Li Chengyuan's expression was still calm and cold.
In fact, this is not the first time. The two had a drink together more than ten years ago.
There were all kinds of legitimate reasons at that time, but today he was just teasing Xia Xingchi with bad intentions to see how he would react.
Li Chengyuan raised his eyes slightly, and saw that Xia Xingchi was stunned for only half a second, and then he took the initiative to grab his wrist.
Her fingertips gently caressed his palm, but her expression was very serious and there was no teasing in her expression.
Li Chengyuan was startled by the subtle warmth coming from his palm, and saw Xia Xingchi tiptoeing closer to him, with his lips almost kissing his ear.
The blush on Li Chengyuan's ears gradually spread to his neck, and even though he was usually calm, his mind went blank for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Xia Xingchi whispered in his ear in confusion: "You don't feel hypoglycemia, are you feeling unwell? Are you okay?"
Based on his "big cat observation experience" during this period, Xia Xingchi discovered that he could tell Li Chengyuan's general physical condition by touching the temperature of his palm.
However, he didn't dare to pinch the tiger's paw easily. He would only muster up the courage to try it when he was worried that the tiger was uncomfortable and was trying hard.
Li Chengyuan: “.........”
The last four words were extremely lethal. He was almost amused by Xia Xingchi's slowness, but the little bastard didn't notice anything wrong and dishonestly reached out to probe his stomach.
Li Chengyuan could no longer bear it, so he grasped the warm hand, gritted his teeth and whispered, "It's okay."
Xia Xingchi didn't know why he suddenly got angry again, but he suddenly noticed that his ears and neck were red, which was particularly conspicuous against his cold white skin.
This seems to be a situation that has never happened before. What’s going on?
Just as Xia Xingchi was about to ask, the person in charge, Xiao Li, came running over and said hurriedly, "Hurry up, Brother Xingchi, it's your turn to walk the red carpet! I don't know why Brother Xia Yu is in such a hurry, he's more than half ahead of schedule!"
After saying this, she suddenly realized that Li Chengyuan was wearing a couple's suit, so she thought about it and asked carefully: "Mr. Li, do you want to walk the red carpet with Brother Xia?"
Without waiting for Li Chengyuan to speak, Xia Xingchi immediately answered firmly for him: "No. He doesn't want it. He doesn't want it."
This kind of official announcement is no different from a werewolf's self-explosion. Fans have to accept it bit by bit. If they suddenly give everyone a bolt from the blue, they will be eaten alive with sauce.
Li Chengyuan: “.........”
Lin Meng, who was pretending to be a background board, was shocked to find that for a moment, it seemed that this low-key boss who never showed up really wanted to walk the red carpet with Xia Xingchi.
.
Because Xia Yu left so quickly and the original schedule was completely disrupted, the official had to ask Xia Xingchi to delay the time.
However, even with an additional task, walking the red carpet was not difficult for Xia Xingchi. He has had experience walking on the catwalk before and was even a sought-after amateur model.
At this time, everyone in the barrage was still discussing Xia Yu’s strange behavior, laughing at him and wondering if he was possessed.
As he was speaking, a white figure appeared on the screen:
[Eh? Why is there a guy here whom I don’t know? 】
[Wow, so handsome [sexy.jpg] One minute, I want all the information about this man! 】
[Star Pool!] ! ! Oh my God, am I dazzled? It seems like I haven’t seen my baby for several months! Oh my god! 】
[Is this... Xia Xingchi?] Is this guy so good-looking? It’s strange that I didn’t notice it before.]
[I know him. This is the idiot who scammed me at my house! 】
[Yes, he really has all the five evils, forcibly tying people up, stepping on people and pretending to be a big shot... and he also stutters, I suspect he is mentally retarded]
[How many times have I told him that he doesn’t stutter! That's intense! Are you toxic? You believe this kind of negative information from marketing accounts? 】
[Wow, no matter what you say, this little brother is just too handsome]
[I’m sorry, appearance is justice for me. Is he a model? I feel so elegant, with long legs and a good figure.]
The first thing passers-by saw was naturally his appearance, and amidst the admiration, Xia Xingchi's pitifully few fans finally felt proud.
However, fans are also secretly wondering, although Xia Xingchi seems to have always looked like this in their memories, why didn’t they realize that the baby is so handsome before?
The haters, who outnumbered the fans, were not willing to show weakness and immediately found new black spots:
[Look at the new autumn and winter clothes he is wearing. It’s so funny. The brand must be crazy to lend him this 18th-tier brand]
[I heard that Lian Xia Yu's status was not enough to borrow the money, ah this, ah this, he is taking advantage of his fame to commit crimes and wear fake goods, right? 】
[Are you planning to try to scam Xiao Yu today? Just give it a try. We have tens of millions of fans and we are no match for an unknown person like you who has only a few thousand fans.]
[srds, this dress looks so good on him [花痴.jpg] It looks like the real thing, I love it]
[Let’s just say, is there a possibility that this is true? Semi-experts say they can't see any signs of fakeness.
[Are you okay upstairs? It’s obvious that the toes are fake. Could it be that even a lowly guy like Xia Xingchi has internet trolls these days? 】
As a "rat crossing the street" who has been forced to scam countless people and offended half of the entertainment industry, being hidden in the dark may not be a bad thing for the original owner.
Otherwise, if he had heard such a voice as soon as he showed up, his fragile mind would have been depressed long ago.
At this moment, Xia Xingchi could not see or care about the bloody storm in the barrage area. He just maintained a perfect smile and walked across the red carpet at an even and slightly slow pace, controlling the time very accurately.
He walked all the way to the host and should have signed an autograph and then left, after all, the opportunities for live interviews were given to big names.
Unexpectedly, the host did not ask him to leave directly, but took the initiative to ask with a smile:
"This is the first time that Xing Chi has attended our fashion dinner. Do you have any feelings that you would like to share with everyone?"
Lin Meng, who was watching the live broadcast, saw this and immediately stood up and said anxiously:
"Why didn't you notify us in advance if you wanted to interview us? We haven't even prepared for this!"
It's not her fault for making a fuss. Although an artist should always have some ability to improvise, "Xia Xingchi" was so stage frightened that everyone thought he was a stutterer. He really couldn't handle this kind of thing.
Xiao Li was startled by her and began to stutter: "It seems that it is to extend the time, and this is not--" Isn't this a good thing to show your face?
Li Chengyuan was still sitting aside, holding the hot cocoa Xia Xingchi had just given him, and said calmly, "He can handle this."
Lin Meng thought this was really not possible, she knew her own artists.
Just as he was wondering if it would be disrespectful to refute "Your Majesty" on the spot, Xia Xingchi tilted his head in thought, and then answered simply and openly:
"My biggest feeling is thank you to the organizers for inviting me, which finally gave me the opportunity to appear in front of you all."
Then he smiled brightly, his eyes curved and he said, "The second feeling is that I'm so hungry now. I really want to eat the buffet at the reception!"
[Oh shit!] The little handsome boy looks so good when he smiles! Your eyes are killing me, ahhh, let me hug you! 】
[What a cute and honest little foodie. Hehehe, sister has some delicious food here. What color sack do you like, baby? 】
[As expected, don’t believe in rumors or spread them. Who said he stuttered? If this is called stuttering, then what should we call it? 】
[Is the first sentence a deliberate attack on the company for not providing him with resources and hiding him? I said there was something wrong with their company! 】
【Pooh! I remember he was famous for being short and fat, and now he’s marketing himself as a foodie? He must be losing weight secretly! Really fucking scheming]
[The person above is sick and should be treated. Didn’t you say Xingchi was stupid before? Is he being scheming again? You self-contradictory anti-fans, have a fight first]
[So you don't plan to explain the matter of wearing the counterfeit goods, right? 】
[It's so funny. You said this with Xia Yu's profile picture on your head. Theirs is a new model and yours is an outdated summer and autumn model. So you are angry and embarrassed? 】
[You guys fight first, I declare this cute little handsome boy is mine! I took it away secretly! 】
Walking down the red carpet, the barrage section has exploded in every sense of the word.
Xia Xingchi, the person involved, never looked back at the explosion. He just breathed a sigh of relief happily and finally ran towards his favorite free buffet in the back field.
.
There are not only artists in the backstage, but also bigwigs from various investment companies.
The seats are divided into two parts. The side close to the stage is for the artists. It is extremely noisy and far away from the self-service area. The advantage is that they can be exposed to countless cameras.
After all, artists rarely eat here, nor do they take this opportunity to talk business like the bigwigs from the financial world, so they are not afraid of noise.
Xia Xingchi looked around and finally found that the organizer had placed his seat at the table closest to the stage. He fully and warmly expressed his sincerity to Mr. Li's young fiancé.
This is too much force.
This table is full of popular idols with high traffic, and the appearance of him, a small-time idol, is really quite out of place.
The worst thing is that everyone here is sitting upright due to their idol image, so as not to be photographed in an unflattering light. No one goes to the self-service counter, which is completely different from the situation in the back row.
Although Xia Xingchi was very hungry and loved to eat, he was not so greedy that he walked around abruptly regardless of the occasion.
So I had to sit there doubting my life, staring at the camera, thinking dejectedly that I might lose two pounds due to starvation.
Even with an overly high-definition live camera with a built-in beauty filter, you can still clearly see who has lost powder and who has a pimple on their face.
Xia Xingchi's longing eyes looking towards the distant dining area and his dejected expression were captured clearly, making him look both cute and funny.
[I came to see the handsome guy because of his reputation. Is he the guy in white clothes? 】
[Hahaha, so cute, don’t let the child starve, feed him quickly! 】
[Hahahaha, a foodie who has lost his soul]
[It's so cute, I want to rub it]
Fans of each show were appreciating the stars through this lens, and when they suddenly saw a lot more comments like this, they all became confused.
Then I realized that there was a new term on the hot search list: "#prepare to go out for lunch after class vs. teacher suddenly announces to keep the class after class#".
Netizens' hand speed was so fast that as soon as the opening dance program to set the atmosphere was finished on the stage, they had already captured Xia Xingchi's face full of anticipation when he said he was going to eat and his current frustrated expression, and made a cute comparison animated picture.
The young man in the GIF is fair and handsome, with shallow dimples when he smiles. The way he pouts slightly when he is frustrated makes people want to poke his face. He is just the right kind of cuteness, not at all pretentious.
Xia Xingchi had no idea that he had become a little famous, and had no idea that thousands of troops were planning how to rub his head.
He sat in the chair in a daze, and began to recite the names of dishes in his mind to divert his attention. This was the method of eating with his mind that he used to do when he had no food to eat.
.
Xia Xingchi didn't care too much about public opinion, but Xia Yu was different. He was staring at his phone at this moment, almost gritting his teeth in anger.
Because right below Xia Xingchi’s hot searches happened to be his two negative hot searches.
One was a sarcastic remark about him looking like he was running a 100-meter sprint on the red carpet, while the other was a mockery that his resources were not as good as those of newcomers.
The so-called newcomer naturally refers to Xia Xingchi. When his emoticons became popular, naturally more people paid attention to the clothes he was wearing.
Passersby who know the business looked at it and thought that it must be an authentic product.
Seeing this, the passers-by who had long been dissatisfied with Xia Yu's marketing simply overwhelmingly concluded that this was the authentic product, thereby increasing the intensity of their ridicule of Xia Yu's family for not being able to borrow the new model, to see what he was still bragging about.
"He's trying to take advantage of my popularity!" Xia Yu quickly typed to her agent Feng Yingxu, "Xia Xingchi, that bitch, he must have done it on purpose!"
"If it wasn't my hater who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to step on me, who the hell does he think he is and why does he want to be noticed? This is all my attention!"
"And he deliberately created the same persona as me. What cuteness? He's just imitating me!"
"It will be too late to buy negative marketing materials tomorrow. I want you to buy negative hot searches for this bastard now!"
Seeing that Xia Yu was completely mad with anger, Feng Yingxu quickly went to the live broadcast to take a look at his expression.
Fortunately, he was still smiling so "innocently and cutely" that no one knew he was swearing.
Feng Yingxu was relieved and replied, "Xiao Yu, his trending search may have been operated by a team. I checked our company's records and it was not done by our team."
Xia Yu gritted his teeth. He knew that they were not the company's team. With him around, Xia Xingchi would have no chance of using any of the company's resources.
Therefore, either Xia Xingchi is really very popular and has been pushed to such a high level of popularity by the amount of tap water traffic, or Li Chengyuan has someone do it.
Both possibilities made him grit his teeth.
The first one would make him jealous to the point of going crazy, because Xia Xingchi shouldn't be liked by anyone, and the second one meant that he couldn't disobey or withdraw from the hot search, otherwise he would definitely anger Li Chengyuan.
Xia Yu immediately said, "But this couldn't have been done by Li Chengyuan. He has always disdained such things."
Besides, how could someone like Xia Xingchi deserve his favor?
Feng Yingxu still disagreed: "Xiao Yu, I can only remove your negative trending searches. Don't throw dirty water on Xia Xingchi at this time."
"This is just a short-lived popularity, why bother to take it seriously?"
The two had different opinions, and Xia Yu knew that he could not convince his agent and Feng Yingxu would not help him.
But when he saw everyone's praise and love for Xia Xingchi, he became so angry that he had to do something.
Going back to the source, this bastard should not have existed. If Xia Xingchi had not appeared, he should have been the only son of the Xia family.
Instead of making him an adopted son with an awkward status, robbing him of his life, and making him bear the original sin of a fake young master.
.
The more Xia Xingchi called out the names of the dishes in his mind, the hungrier he became. He thought that when he became famous and rich, he would definitely say to the chef, "Steamed lamb, steamed bear paws, steamed deer tail... I'll order them all!"
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw a figure jumping around out of the corner of my eye.
So he looked up and saw a person standing in the back where the camera couldn't capture him, dancing and waving in a nonchalant manner, which was out of place with the atmosphere of everyone sitting so solemnly that it was almost like a funeral.
Naturally, everyone turned to look at this person. Xia Xingchi was stunned. Suddenly, he felt that he was waving at him, and he looked very familiar...
It was the doctor that night!
My God, I was so busy worrying about Li Chengyuan that night that I didn’t take a closer look at this “Doctor Zhao”.
Taking a closer look today, he is clearly a frivolous young man with a peacock's tail spread out. How can he look like a doctor at all?
Xia Xingchi took a breath of cold air. He couldn't help but doubt the "medical skills" of this dandy boy. This guy actually gave Li Chengyuan an injection and an infusion.
One of them dares to stab, and the other dares to be hit. These two people are really brave.
Most of the other people present knew Zhao Yinhe, the prince of the largest film company in the country. He would definitely be there to pick the flowers at such occasions, and after picking them, he would give resources very generously and readily.
But he doesn't look like picking flowers now, it looks like he is calling friends to play together.
Everyone then began to guess who he was inviting to play with, and how the other party had such a large network of contacts.
Then everyone saw Xia Xingchi, who had been secretly wondering "Why did he get to sit at this table", quietly stood up and slipped away.
.
The two of them slid all the way to the back where there were no cameras. Zhao Yinhe was the first to speak proudly: "First of all, I am really a doctor, and I have a certificate!"
As soon as Zhao Yinhe saw Xia Xingchi’s frightened expression, he guessed what he was thinking.
After all, he is often questioned, and after he finishes speaking, he skillfully adds: "I took the test myself, I didn't buy it!"
Xia Xingchi blinked doubtfully: "Uh, okay. Then Doctor Zhao, Brother Zhao, why did you call me here?"
"Two things. The important thing is—" Zhao Yinhe became serious and lowered his voice, "Can you let me taste the cookies you made?"
Xia Xingchi: ...It doesn’t seem to be very important.
Zhao Yinhe complained bitterly, "Do you know how stingy Li Chengyuan is? He wouldn't let me eat a single bite, and wouldn't even let me touch the box!"
Not only did she not give him any food, but she also slapped him all over the head and face with cold dog food, showing off her sense of superiority of having a boyfriend at home everywhere.
Xia Xingchi's mouth twitched when he heard this. It seems that foodies are not restricted by occupation or status.
Li Chengyuan is a strange guy. It's just a few cookies, but he makes people so greedy. At worst, he can just make more himself.
"It smells so good. The ones in the dessert shop aren't as good as yours. Please make some for me, please."
Xia Xingchi had no choice but to nod, and then listened to Zhao Yinhe continue:
"The second thing is that Li Chengyuan just couldn't find you for a while, and then he succeeded in getting so angry that his stomach hurt... How about you go see him?"
Zhao Yinhe had long been accustomed to this. He had even seen Li Chengyuan suffering from gastric bleeding and vomiting blood when he was a child. This was nothing more than a drizzle.
But Xia Xingchi couldn't do that. When he heard that the bad-tempered big cat he had raised so carefully had a stomachache again, he ran to find him immediately.
.
Fortunately, this time it was not as serious as that night, or maybe the attack had recovered. Li Chengyuan's lips were just a little pale, and he was sitting in his seat with a cold face - peeling crabs?
It seemed that he was in a bad mood. Xia Xingchi suspected that he was just the poor crab in his mind, being chopped into pieces.
Li Chengyuan saw him coming, raised his eyes and said calmly: "Sit down."
There was an empty seat next to him, and the peeled crab meat was placed on a plate in front of the seat. In addition to crabs, there were all kinds of delicious food, including delicacies from land and sea.
Xia Xingchi blinked, then looked at the various delicious foods, not understanding what this meant.
He was not so conceited as to think that the villain would carefully peel a crab for him to eat, but he believed that it would be more likely that someone would peel his crab and feed it to the crab.
So I had to think about whether this meal should be called "The Last Supper", and finally sat down carefully.
But swear to God, he just muted his phone when he was walking on the red carpet, and he was just staring blankly at the dishes without looking at his phone. Who would have thought that Li Chengyuan would be so angry just because he couldn't get through on the phone?
Xia Xingchi tilted his head, and a strange thought suddenly flashed through his mind - Li Chengyuan was not angry, he was actually afraid.
But after thinking about it carefully, Xia Xingchi was the first to deny his own idea.
How could such a cruel and ruthless lunatic have an emotion like "fear"? Even if he did, he would not be afraid of the disappearance of a small person like himself.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Li Chengyuan say calmly: "Let's eat."
As he spoke, he peeled another shrimp and placed it on the plate in front of him.
As soon as these words of affirmation came out, Xia Xingchi was completely at a loss. He didn't dare to believe that Li Chengyuan was really peeling shrimps for him.
I just strongly suspected that I had heard it wrong, or that this was some conspiracy.
When Li Chengyuan turned around, he saw someone staring at him with big black eyes like a vigilant little hedgehog, as if he would be caught and stewed after dinner, so he didn't dare to move.
"Didn't you just say you were hungry, Xiaochi?"
His tone remained indifferent, but he deliberately emphasized the last two words. As expected, Xia Xingchi showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. He thought that she must be pretending to be a loving couple with him in front of others!
This made sense, and Xia Xingchi finally stopped doubting him. He pretended to nod obediently and started to eat happily.
Li Chengyuan felt helpless. After wiping his hands completely, he gently touched his furry head. The heartless man was working and eating at the same time without noticing anything.
.
After eating and drinking, there was another way to entertain themselves besides reading the menu. Xia Xingchi never forgot to "work seriously" and leaned on Li Chengyuan and started to check Weibo.
You don’t know until you see it.
