In the original book, Feng Qinglin once took advantage of the plastic marriage relationship between the Tao family and the Feng family, and joined forces with the Tao family to severely attack the Feng family, and took the opportunity to seize many of the Feng family's rights.
It turns out that Feng Qinglin's move in the original book also had the shadow of Qiu Xing in it?
Xie Yang continued to ask: "How long have you been working with the Tao family?"
"Five years ago, the Tao family encountered an economic crisis, and I intervened."
The nail was actually planted five years ago. Xie Yang asked again: "Does the Feng family know that you are cooperating with the Tao family?"
When the Feng family was mentioned, Qiu Xing's joy faded and he said in a cold voice, "I know, but I don't know much. The Tao family will naturally keep their mouths shut after taking advantage of me. The Feng family still thinks that I interfered in the affairs of the Tao family in order to suppress Feng Dian's second wife Tao Yi through the Tao family and force Tao Yi to treat Qinglin well."
Xie Yang understood.
In other words, the Feng family still believes that Qiu Xing helps the Tao family because he is controlled by the Feng family, and Feng Qinglin has to pay benefits to please the Tao family.
His hand was suddenly grabbed, and Xie Yang came back to his senses, turning his head to look at Qiu Xing.
Qiu Xing asked: "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Xie Yang replied: "I remembered it when I saw Tao Yang."
Qiu Xing didn't say anything, but gently stroked Jie Yang's fingers. After a while, he suddenly said, "Jie Yang, I never asked you how you knew about the past of the Feng and Qiu families... Now you just saw Tao Yang and you thought of the Tao family, which shows that you have some knowledge of the Tao family. You..."
Xie Yang looked at Qiu Xing quietly.
Qiu Xing and Jie Yang looked at each other, and suddenly laughed and said, "You are fine just like this."
Xie Yang raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you afraid that I am approaching you on purpose with ulterior motives?"
"Don't be afraid." Qiu Xing retracted his gaze and looked down at the two people's clasped hands. "Now my life belongs to you. If you are a person with ulterior motives, then your goal is nothing more than a Rong Ding. I can only say that I am very lucky to have Rong Ding."
Implicit love words are the most touching.
Xie Yanghui held Qiu Xing's hand and gently hooked Qiu Xing's palm.
…
It was already past noon when the two of them left the school. It was definitely too late to go home for lunch, so they simply had lunch outside.
By the time the two finished their meal and returned home, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. After arriving home, Jie Yang took a shower, changed into light clothes, and then packed his luggage for the trip to City N. By the time everything was packed, it was already past five o'clock.
In order to avoid arriving in City N too late and affecting his rest, Wu Shui booked a flight for Jie Yang at 7:45. Jinghe Garden is more than an hour's drive from the airport. The drive plus the time required to check in means that in order not to miss the flight, Xie Yang must leave for the airport at 5:30 at the latest.
Time was too tight. Qiu Xing looked at the time, and the ease and joy he felt when attending the ceremony quickly disappeared.
In the last half hour at home, the two had a simple dinner.
Halfway through the meal, Qiu Xing suddenly asked, "Jie Yang, do you want to move to another place?"
Xie Yang raised his eyes and looked at Qiu Xing.
Qiu Xing asked, "Want to change?"
Jie Yang nodded without hesitation: "I do." Jinghe Garden is nice, but it is indeed too remote. It is only suitable for retirement and waiting for death, not for medical treatment and embracing a new life.
Qiu Xing seemed to have made a decision. His brows relaxed and he said, "I understand. Where do you want to move to?"
Xie Yang didn't need to think at all and replied directly: "Rongding and the hospital have chosen a central location. This way, you can at least sleep an extra hour every day, and it will be more convenient for future treatment and follow-up."
Qiu Xing paused and asked, "Is this the reason why you want to change your residence?"
“This is the main reason.”
Qiu Xing looked at Jie Yang, suddenly smiled, and said, "Then change to one that is closer to Rong Ding."
After lunch, when they got in the car, Xie Yang turned his head to look in the direction of the observation deck and the artificial lake, and said, "The fish in this lake are pretty good."
Qiu Xing also turned his head to look at the artificial lake outside and said, "Then bring them with you to exchange."
Xie Yang was satisfied and looked away.
The car drove towards the airport. Neither of them spoke, nor played with their phones or did anything else. They just held hands and the atmosphere in the car was quiet yet harmonious.
When the car was about to arrive at the airport, Qiu Xing finally spoke up and said, "The matter of introducing you to Tao Yang before..."
Xie Yang remembered the words "my people" that Qiu Xing had held back for a long time, and turned his head to look at Qiu Xing and said, "I thought you wouldn't mention that."
Qiu Xingjie saw Yang's attitude, remained silent for a few seconds, and said, "Sorry. Are you angry?"
Xie Yang shook his head: "No. No one expected you to run into someone you knew. You were not prepared to introduce me. I understand."
Qiu Xing held Jie Yang's hand tightly.
"But understanding is one thing, and whether he likes you doing this is another." Xie Yang asked, "How do you think Tao Yang will imagine our relationship?"
The vague phrase "my people" can easily lead people to misunderstand things.
Xie Yang could understand that Qiu Xing was too shy to say the words "boyfriend" or "partner" at the time, but understanding was understanding, which did not mean that he would like the introduction of "my person", which was enough to show the relationship between the two but did not seem serious enough.
If Qiu Xing had never mentioned it, he naturally wouldn't have mentioned it. He didn't want to force Qiu Xing to do anything. But since Qiu Xing brought it up, he naturally had to show his attitude.
"Qiu Xing, I am willing to follow your pace, but you can't take advantage of my tolerance and act lawless."
Qiu Xing's face was full of deep guilt and reflection, but he was choked by the word "lawless". He frowned deeply and looked at Jie Yang.
Xie Yang met Qiu Xing's gaze, smiled, then retracted his gaze and said, "But it's not a big deal. Tao Yang seems to be a very sensible person. Even if he has made up something in his mind, he probably won't say anything nonsense. Qiu Xing, you slowly work hard, I'll accompany you."
After a while, Qiu Xing suddenly raised his hand and rubbed Jie Yang's head, then turned sideways and hugged Jie Yang in his arms, saying, "You are the lawless one."
Xie Yang said nothing.
Another while passed.
"sorry."
Jie Yang curled his lips, hugged Qiu Xing back, and patted his back gently.
After arriving at the airport, Xie Yang took the initiative to hug Qiu Xing. Qiu Xing immediately hugged Jie Yang back tightly and said, "I'll come to see you when I have time."
Xie Yang pressed on the back of Qiu Xing's neck, and injected the supernatural power that he had carefully condensed along the way into Qiu Xing's body, and said, "I'll wait for you." After saying that, he withdrew his hand, suddenly raised his hand again and grabbed a handful of Qiu Xing's hair, then put his hand in front of Qiu Xing.
Qiu Xing was stunned when he was caught. He frowned and looked at Jie Yang. He instinctively wrapped his hand around the hand that Jie Yang handed over and held it, saying, "What's wrong?"
Jie Yang pulled his hand out and said, "I'll give you a treasure, stretch out your hand."
"...Baby?" Qiu Xing looked at Jie Yang's fist, his eyes tinged with joy, but he quickly suppressed it, and obediently spread out his hand and placed it under Jie Yang's fist, pretending to be calm and asked, "What baby?"
Xie Yang smiled, loosened his hand, and a few strands of hair fell into Qiu Xing's palm.
"......?" The joy on Qiu Xing's face froze. He looked at his palm, then at Jie Yang, and suddenly realized something. His expression suddenly changed.
Xie Yang immediately held Qiu Xing's hand and said, "Don't feel burdened. This is a normal side effect. I have observed that you have a nice head shape. Even if your hair falls out, you should still be handsome."
After saying this, without giving Qiu Xing a chance to respond, he immediately let go of the car door, pushed open the door, got out, and quickly walked into the airport, leaving Qiu Xing alone in the car to face the cruel reality of hair loss.
…
Xie Yang's good mood continued until he got off the plane. As soon as he turned on his phone, he received a call from Qin Cheng.
Qin Cheng's tone was a little strange, and he said, "I followed your instructions and kept an eye on the online trends. After the initial blunder, as more candid photos of you and Qiu Xing were leaked, the media and your fans gradually discovered something was wrong. Later, the media released a clear photo of you and Qiu Xing holding hands, and public opinion exploded at the time. I was just about to guide them and pave the way for you and Mr. Qiu to officially go public later, but Tao Yang suddenly posted on Weibo."
"Tao Yang?"
Xie Yang guessed that something strange was probably going to happen on the Internet. After all, there was no cover-up when he and Qiu Xing were together today. Although Jie Xiu made trouble at the beginning and gave some wrong information to the media, he and Qiu Xing walked around the campus afterwards and took countless photos together, with their arms around each other's shoulders and waists. The clothes they wore were couple outfits carefully prepared by Qiu Xing. It was only a matter of time before their relationship was discovered. However, Xie Yang thought of many possible unexpected events, but he did not expect that Tao Yang would suddenly appear halfway.
He asked, "What did Tao Yang send?"
Qin Cheng replied: "He helped you explain to those marketing accounts and media who speculated whether you were in a relationship with Qiu Xing, saying that you and Qiu Xing were just a pure relationship between an elder and a younger generation."
“…”
Qin Cheng added: "Your fans all believed it, and are now organizing people to fight against the marketing accounts. I asked someone to guide the fan group and temporarily suppressed them."
Xie Yang smiled, but it was a cold smile, and said: "Tao Yang really 'helped' me a lot. You continue to suppress the fans, I will handle this matter myself."
After getting on the car back to the crew, Xie Yang checked Weibo.
On the hot searches, topics such as #Jie Yang graduates#, #Jie Yang's love affair exposed#, #Jie Yang's lover#, #Tao Yang and Jie Yang meet by chance#, and #Tao Yang helps Jie Yang clarify# are arranged in order, and are very popular.
Xie Yang first clicked on the topic of relationship exposure, and the page refreshed. A video that was obviously secretly filmed appeared at the top of the page. The video was posted by a college student named C, and the number of comments below it has exceeded 10,000.
Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit: What the hell! Look who I photographed! I didn’t expect to run into Li Yang and his family while walking around the campus and taking photos, but! But do you need to hug your family’s waist when taking photos? Did I discover something!
The video is only a few seconds long and was shot from behind, just in time to capture Qiu Xing reaching out to hug Jie Yang.
Xie Yang turned off the video and read the comments below. The hot comments were all expressions of shock and grief over broken heart. There were not many malicious comments, which showed that Qin Cheng had hired a public relations team to guide public opinion.
Below this video Weibo post is a set of pictures released by a media account. The first picture in the set is a picture of him and Qiu Xing holding hands when they just got off the bus at school. In case the onlookers didn’t notice, the marketing account even circled the two people’s clasped hands in a red circle.
The remaining few photos should have been obtained by the media from student C. Some are clear and some are blurry. They all show him and Qiu Xing taking photos on campus.
In fact, after this exposure, his relationship with Qiu Xing has basically been made public. Even if he and Qiu Xing do not specifically make it public later, the public will assume that he and Qiu Xing are in a romantic relationship. In this way, when the two of them are together in the future, they don’t have to worry about being secretly photographed by the media, and they can talk about their relationship openly.
But now…
Xie Yang left the topic and clicked on #Tao Yang helps Xie Yang clarify#. The page jumps, and the first one listed is Tao Yang’s Weibo. The Weibo post was posted two hours ago, when he was on a plane and his phone was turned off.
Tao Yang: I am very happy to attend the C University graduation ceremony as a family member today. After the ceremony, I was lucky enough to meet Xie Yang, he is a great junior and it was a pleasure to meet him. Coincidentally, the friends invited by Xie Yang’s father to watch the ceremony were actually elders from a family I knew. The rule of six really does not deceive me. On this auspicious day of graduation, please do not write nonsense about it in the media. The care, appreciation and love that elders show to the younger generations in their friends' families should not be distorted.
What an elder from a family with a long-standing friendship! He directly separated him from Qiu Xing in terms of seniority, and also stamped the interaction between the two as an elder's appreciation of the younger generation.
Xie Yang did not read the comments under this Weibo post and directly left the topic, then went to take a look at the topic #谢阳恋人#.
Everyone under this topic is trying to dig up Qiu Xing's identity, trying to find out who Qiu Xing is. But no one knows whether Qiu Xing was too low-key and hid himself too well before, or whether the media and marketing accounts trying to dig up Qiu Xing's identity are too useless. After a few hours, no one has found out Qiu Xing's identity.
Of course, it’s also possible that someone has uncovered Qiu Xing’s identity but is afraid to say it.
After reading the trending searches, Xie Yang took another rough look at the hot list and found that the content on it basically overlapped with the topic. He closed Weibo directly and called Qiu Xing.
The call was answered after a few seconds, and Qiu Xing's voice came: "Are you there?"
Xie Yang heard Dr. Kirkman's voice in the background, paused, and asked, "Did you go to see Dr. Kirkman?"
After a few seconds, Qiu Xing's voice came again. This time, Kirkman's voice was no longer in the background. It became much quieter. He said, "Just came here for a routine check."
"So you didn't know that Tao Yang helped to clarify our relationship, right?"
Qiu Xing's tone became heavier, and he said, "What Tao Yang? What relationship do you want to clarify?"
…
Ten minutes later, Qiu Xing, who had read the Weibo post, called Jie Yang back and said, "I didn't expect him to post like this."
Xie Yang said, "I didn't expect that either. I just guessed that he would be sensible and not say anything nonsense, but I didn't expect that he would be so kind as to help us, no, to help you cover up and explain. He really is a qualified junior of a family of old friends, isn't he?"
Qiu Xing's voice came after a few seconds. His tone became lower and he said in a coaxing tone, "Are you angry?"
Xie Yang: "Guess?"
“…”
"My man, this introduction is really good."
"...Wait a moment." Qiu Xing paused and said, "Wait a moment, I will handle this matter."
Xie Yang responded: "Okay, I'll wait for your response." Then he hung up the phone.
Not long after ending the call with Qiu Xing, Xie Yang received another call from Qin Cheng. Qin Cheng came to ask him how he planned to deal with this matter.
Qin Cheng analyzed: "If you and Mr. Qiu openly disclose it, it will definitely slap Tao Yang in the face. Tao Yang has just set up a personal studio in China and seems to be preparing to return to China for development. His situation is somewhat special. He debuted abroad, his first movie was an award-winning film, he has his own clothing brand, and the media is very flattering about him. His family background is also very good. If you slap him in the face, it is very likely that-"
Xie Yang interrupted Qin Cheng and said, "I'll let Qiu Xing handle this matter."
"What?"
"You don't have to do anything. Just wait for news from Qiu Xing."
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the hotel. Many well-informed media were waiting outside the hotel. When they saw Jie Yang get out of the car, they rushed over and almost poked him in the face with the microphones and recorders in their hands.
"Jie Yang, may I ask if you are really in a relationship with the nameless man?"
"Jie Yang! Why would Tao Yang help you clarify? Who is that person who attended your ceremony? Is he really just an elder you know?"
"Jie Yang! Jie Yang, please respond. What do you think about the news of your relationship being exposed? Is it true?"
Xie Yang didn't answer a single question. He lowered his hat and quickly entered the hotel with the help of Wu Shui and the hotel security.
