Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Restraint
He thought about it carefully, trying to divert his attention.
The sound of turning pages rang in his ears again. Zhou Boye stared at the contract for a long time. It was originally a common thing like eating, but today it was very obscure and difficult to understand. He read for a long time but not a single word entered his mind.
He closed his eyes, pressed his solar plexus, and slowly calmed his breathing. When he opened his eyes again, there was a hint in his eyes that others could not understand.
…
Jiang Yuxia was also having a hard time. He was suppressing his feelings, but this was not caused by natural physiology, and it was too difficult to fight against it with drugs.
His breathing became heavier and heavier. He pursed his lips, which looked like they were painted with rouge. Just as he was about to speak, the car slowly stopped.
Driver: “We’re here.”
Zhou Boye put the folder down and asked Jiang Yuxia, "Can we still leave?"
Jiang Yuxia: "..."
Zhou Boye must have seen it! He's been so embarrassed today.
He pretended to be calm, "How can a man say no?"
Zhou Boye opened the car door and said, "That's a great man, let's go."
Jiang Yuxia moved slightly, "..."
He had to crawl out even if he had to! He had to crawl out even if he had to!
…
Zhou Boye’s home.
Jiang Yuxia immersed half of his face in the bathtub. He looked at the still energetic Jiang Yuxia. The water was already a little cool, but he was still very hot.
What kind of medicine is this? He stood up and walked to the shower. The cold water hit his hot and sensitive skin, and the slight pain made him frown.
He had been in the bathroom for a long time. He could clearly hear footsteps coming towards him. Jiang Yuxia opened his eyes and wiped his face with his hands. The cold water became slightly warm after flowing over him.
He couldn't find a bathrobe, so he could only put on his T-shirt again. This small action made him lean against the door for a long time, with unspeakable desire rising in his eyes.
Those novels that say soaking in cold water can neutralize the effects of drugs are all lies!
Zhou Boye walked to the bathroom door and called out as he heard the sound of water running inside: "Jiang Yuxia."
Jiang Yuxia stayed in there for too long.
Not long after he finished speaking, the bathroom door was opened.
Jiang Yuxia couldn't stand steadily, so Zhou Boye helped him up.
Zhou Boye only felt a figure approaching him, and a soft breathing sounded beside his ear. The dripping hair touched his ear, which was not cold, but a little warm, warmed by Jiang Yuxia's body temperature.
Jiang Yuxia's tone was as if it had been beaten to pieces by something, "Zhou Boye, I think I've been hit."
His hand was on Zhou Boye's shoulder. His hand was stained with moisture and even the fingertips were a little powdery, as if the eyebrows and eyes were outlined by a master painter and then painted. His lifeless eyes were now sparkling.
Zhou Boye reached out and held his wrist. His skin was not as white as Jiang Yuxia's, and his wrist looked much thicker than his. He hadn't changed his clothes yet, and his shirt sleeves were slightly rolled up. The black watch gave him a bit of a business elite vibe.
Zhou Boye: "I told you you're stupid and you're still not convinced. Just wait, the doctor will be here soon."
He handed him a towel and said, "Wipe it off. Don't get me wet."
Jiang Yuxia sat down on the ground casually. He had no strength left to wipe his hair.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Boye sighed softly: "Trouble."
The next moment, Zhou Boye squatted in front of him and wiped his still dripping hair with a towel.
Jiang Yuxia's eyes flashed, but he didn't look away. He just lowered his eyes and looked at his bare feet.
The towel gently wiped Guo Jiang and Xia's hair bit by bit. Zhou Boye's eyes fell on his shoulders. After the T-shirt was wet, the flushed flesh color showed through. Zhou Boye paused and stopped.
The water on his hair dripped onto Zhou Boye's hands, and he clenched his fists.
"I'll get the hairdryer."
Looking at Zhou Boye's back, Jiang Yuxia bit the wound on the corner of his lip again, and the salty smell of blood made his eyes slightly red.
Click.
The rain outside, which had finally stopped, started falling again, and huge lightning illuminated half the sky.
Just now he saw Zhou Boye's Adam's apple move.
There was silence in the room for a moment, and then thunder suddenly sounded outside, and the sound was like hitting the heart hard.
It was as if the calmness they had maintained since they met was silently broken.
Zhou Boye's personal doctor also arrived quickly.
After taking the medicine, Jiang Yuxia quickly became drowsy and soon fell asleep in the guest room.
Zhou Boye closed his laptop after watching the lights in the guest room dim. He closed his eyes, but couldn't calm down. He subconsciously walked to the door of Jiang Yuxia's room.
When he came to his senses, his eyes were dark and deep, his fingers curled up, and he slowly turned around and went back to his room.
…
The next day, Jiang Yuxia got up from the bed in a daze. After struggling to get up, his neck was only kept upright for a few seconds before he fell down with a "bang". He could never get enough sleep.
The bedroom curtains had a very good light-blocking effect, and he could not tell what time it was. He squinted his eyes and began to look for his phone. After searching for a long time without finding it, his consciousness slowly returned, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
The unfamiliar environment made him sit up suddenly. He was at Zhou Boye's house.
He opened the door quietly, and sunlight slanted in from the floor-to-ceiling windows. There was no one in the room. He found his mobile phone in the living room and tried to turn it on. The battery level of the phone, which had been out of power, was now 100%.
Jiang Yuxia was stunned. There were several missed calls on her phone, from her agent and Li Qi.
He called his agent back first.
Sun Quan: "Where did you go yesterday if you didn't return to the hotel? Don't be late for filming. Do you want me to pick you up?"
The first question is a life-threatening one.
Jiang Yuxia stiffened slightly when he heard this, and said with a hint of guilt, "I'm staying at a friend's house."
He didn't know what he was feeling guilty about.
Sun Quan seemed to understand very well and said: "It's okay, we usually don't care about the private lives of artists, as long as they are not photographed. But there is one thing, if you fall in love, you must tell..."
"Jiang Yuxia." Zhou Boye's voice suddenly appeared behind him. Seeing that he was barefoot, he frowned slightly and asked, "Where are your shoes?"
"!" The sudden sound scared Jiang Yuxia so much that his hair almost stood up and he almost cursed.
"Why are you still at home?" Jiang Yuxia said in a daze. He remembered that Zhou Boye usually went to the company very early.
"It's still early." Zhou Boye said calmly.
Jiang Yuxia had no change of clothes, so he wore his sportswear to sleep. Jiang Yuxia was about 1.8 meters tall, but he had a small frame, so his clothes were much loose on him.
For example, now, the collar of his sportswear was tilted to one side, revealing a large area of snow. Zhou Boye's eyes swept across his slender neck, and his tongue slightly touched the tip of his teeth.
He walked past Jiang Yuxia, and his eyes darkened when he turned around.
Jiang Yuxia: "Oh..."
He remembered that he was still on the phone, "Brother Sun, I'm sorry, please continue."
Sun Quan: "...I'm actually very sensitive to the human voice."
Jiang Yuxia: "What?"
Sun Quan: "That voice just now was Zhou Boye, right?"
Jiang Yuxia: "..."
"The friend you're talking about is Zhou Boye?"
Seeing that he didn't deny it, Sun Quan licked his lips and said, "A resurgence?!"
Jiang Yuxia listened to his increasingly excited voice and choked a little, "Don't think too much."
He checked the time and said, "You don't have to come pick me up. I can take a taxi to the set. It shouldn't be far from here."
As soon as he hung up the phone, Zhou Boye kicked his shoes in front of him.
"Put it on."
The living room is paved with tiles, which are a bit cold to walk on even in summer.
Jiang Yuxia paused and slowly stepped into his shoes.
After hanging up the phone, they were left alone. Zhou Boye acted very calm, as calm as if they had not broken up or even fallen in love yet.
Jiang Yuxia held the phone tighter. This feeling was not very good, as if he was the only one who cared and was the only one who was in a mess.
"I have to go first. I have a scene and time is very urgent." Jiang Yuxia said.
He wanted to leave here quickly.
Zhou Boye was calm and composed, leaning against the door frame with a glass of water in his hand. Changed into home clothes, he looked less businesslike and more lazy. He suddenly said, "I find you really heartless. After all, I helped you yesterday, but from yesterday until now you haven't even said thank you?"
Jiang Yuxia: "..."
Facing Zhou Boye's face, he gritted his teeth, frowned, and used all his strength to force out two words: "Thank you."
Zhou Boye was satisfied. "Although the tone is not good, never mind. I will reluctantly accept it."
Jiang Yuxia: “…” Go to hell.
…
In the end, Jiang Yuxia, who was still sitting in the same car parked last week, fell silent. He hadn't expected it to be so difficult to get a taxi during rush hour.
After arriving at the set, Jiang Yuxia got out of the car as if escaping.
In the car, the driver asked Zhou Boye, "Mr. Zhou, are we going to the company now?"
Zhou Boye was in a good mood and was about to speak when he turned around and saw Jiang Yuxia in the background.
The rainstorm just passed yesterday, and the sun was shining brightly this morning. The morning sun shone on Jiang Yuxia, and he ran towards the light. The white color became more and more dazzling in the light, as if he was about to disappear in the light.
Zhou Bo's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously clenched his hands.
He was silent for a moment, then pressed his brows, suppressed the inappropriate madness in his eyes, and said calmly: "Go to the company."
…
After arriving at the crew, Jiang Yuxia saw Sun Qun's shining eyes from afar, and as soon as she saw him, her gaze looked behind him.
"Where's Mr. Zhou?"
Jiang Yuxia: "..." He just knew it.
Sun Quan looked outside for a long time but saw no one. He walked beside Jiang Yuxia with a lack of interest and said with a hint of regret, "I haven't met him in person yet. I really want an autograph."
"Don't embarrass yourself. Why would you want an autograph from someone like him?" Jiang Yuxia walked straight towards the makeup tent.
Today, we went out on the set and there was an extremely spectacular fight scene. I was a little looking forward to it, after all, which boy hasn't dreamed of being a martial arts hero?
The makeup artist had just arrived and was taking tools out of the box. The table was filled with all kinds of tools.
Jiang Yuxia spoke first: "Good morning."
The makeup artist smiled when she saw Jiang and Xia, "Good morning, Xia Xia, you're up so early today."
"Today's drama is quite serious."
"Oh, yes, today is the scene where Xiao Lang is offline, woo woo."
Lang Yuxi is the name of the character played by Jiang Yuxia. The drama they filmed was adapted from a novel, and the makeup artist is a fan of the book and really likes the character of Lang Yuxi.
It's a pity that this character is dead.
"Yeah, Xiao Lang is finally going offline."
Jiang Yuxia found a seat while chatting with the makeup artist. They were shooting a costume drama, so the makeup would be more troublesome. "Thank you for your help."
"Leave it to me." The makeup artist came over with a roll of makeup brushes, and looking at him closely, she couldn't help but sigh, "Xia Xia, you are so beautiful."
Yes, he is beautiful. It may seem strange to use the word beautiful to describe a boy, but he is not effeminate. His facial features are so delicate, as if they were carved out minute by minute with the finest brush.
Even in the entertainment industry where handsome men and beautiful women gather together, it is rare to find anyone more handsome than him.
"You know, I used to think that the eyelashes casting shadows under the eyes in novels were just nonsense. I didn't expect you to grow them according to the description. It's really unbearable."
Sun Quan was quite proud beside him, "That's right."
The makeup artist asked: "Why are you so proud?"
Sun Quan: "Oh, I fell in love with him at first sight. I begged him to sign the contract. I worked so hard to get him signed. If it weren't for me, would you be here to help him with his makeup?"
He paused and said, "What a pity, the other one I like will never be able to sign a contract in this lifetime."
Jiang Yuxia: "..." He said it would be better if it wasn't Zhou Boye.
Thinking of Zhou Boye, his eyes darkened again, and his teeth lightly gnashed the corner of his lips. He could never get back at this humiliation, and it was so embarrassing in front of him.
