After the morning shoot was over and the crew was having lunch break, Wu Shui, who had gone out to answer a phone call, walked over to Jie Yang and whispered, "Boss, Mr. Qiu has ordered a few food trucks to come over. He wants to apologize to the crew for today's chaos."
Xie Yang paused while flipping through the script, turned his head to look at Wu Shui, and asked, "Is he still awake?"
Wu Shui immediately replied: "The dining car was booked by Mr. Qiu this morning, and Mr. Qiu has been staying in his hotel room since then."
He only said that he stayed well in the hotel room, but he didn't say that he slept well.
Xie Yang took out his cell phone and sent a WeChat message to Qiu Xing.
Xie Yang: My stomach hurts.
Qiu Xing replied immediately: What’s going on? Caught a cold? Did you eat something bad?
Qiu Xing: Let Wu Shui take you to the hospital, I'll be there right away.
I knew it was like this. Xie Yang is typing.
Xie Yang: I didn’t catch a cold or eat something bad. I was just angry at someone who said he was going to sleep but didn’t.
The other side suddenly became quiet as a chicken.
Xie Yang: Do you want to sleep?
After a while.
Qiu Xing: I took a nap and woke up now.
Xie Yang: Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist, divorce if you lie.
Qiu Xing replied immediately: Good night.
Xie Yang squinted his eyes and stared at the words "good night" for a long time without replying. He stood up and found Director Zhou to tell him about the dining car. After hearing this, Director Zhou called the life director, who then asked the crew to eat at the food truck outside.
When the crew heard that Xie Yang's family had driven a food truck to improve the crew's meals, they all looked towards Xie Yang. Xie Yang calmly welcomed everyone's gaze and also took the opportunity to invite everyone to say a few words. Everyone felt embarrassed to stare at Xie Yang any longer, and they all thanked Xie Yang's "family" for their thoughtfulness, then looked away.
Everyone thought that the food truck Xie Yang was talking about was an ordinary take-out food truck, but when they arrived at the open space where the food truck was parked, they realized that they were too naive.
On the open space, five mobile restaurant-style dining trucks the size of minibuses were parked in a row. In the open space in front of the dining trucks, waiters were busy setting up long tables and setting up parasols. Inside the dining trucks, chefs were busy preparing food.
This scene is like moving an entire medium-sized restaurant here.
Even the knowledgeable Director Zhou was stunned when he saw this scene and said, "Mr. Qiu is thoughtful."
Xie Yang actually didn't expect Qiu Xing to prepare such a dining car, so he replied, "As you should."
Others: “…”
Everyone took their seats under the guidance of the waiter.
There are five dining cars, two for Western food, two for Chinese food, and one for fruit and drinks. The food is delivered to the long table in a steady stream. Plates and tableware are placed beside the table. Everyone can take whatever they want to eat. It is completely self-service.
This arrangement is sincere enough and appropriate enough not to make anyone feel burdened. It is very considerate.
Xie Yang picked out some food he liked and sat down next to Director Zhou and the others.
Perhaps it was because people were more friendly than they thought, but during the meal, Xie Yang found that everyone's attitude towards him became much warmer and more approachable, no longer as stiff as during the shooting in the morning. The people on the production side had the biggest change in attitude, and their words and actions were so friendly that it was a bit corny.
Halfway through the meal, Wen Yao got up to get some more food. When she came back, she did not sit next to the second female lead Wen Han, but sat next to Li Yang. She picked up a glass of juice, raised it to Jie Yang, and said, "Congratulations, and thank you for lunch."
Xie Yang smiled, picked up the juice, and said, "You are too polite, senior."
The two clinked glasses.
Wen Yao put down the cup after taking a sip of juice, lowered her head and rolled up the pasta on the plate with her fork, and suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Mu Zhouyi has gone abroad. I didn't get to see her until she left."
Jie Yang paused as he put down the cup.
"You said she was living alone abroad, how was she supposed to live?"
Xie Yang put down the cup, picked up the chopsticks, and said, "Someone will take care of her." Given the Feng family's style, they would most likely find a sanatorium abroad to send Mu Zhouyi there to be taken care of, and with Feng Qinglin around, Mu Zhouyi would definitely not be treated harshly.
Wen Yao was silent for a few seconds and said, "That's good."
…
For the afternoon shoot, Director Zhou specifically learned about Yang's scenes in advance so that Jie Yang could leave work early as a thank you to Qiu Xing's food truck. Xie Yang thanked Director Zhou and asked Wu Shui to buy some drinks and bring them to the filming set before packing up and leaving.
On the way back to the hotel, Xie Yang checked Weibo.
After a day, public opinion on Weibo has basically stabilized.
The information about the will has disappeared from the hot searches, leaving only the topic #仇行解扬# still hanging high. On the popular list, his and Qiu Xing’s Weibo posts were ranked one after another, and the number of comments had exceeded 100,000.
The hot comments in the comment section of Qiu Xing’s Weibo were replaced by blessing replies from CEOs of major companies, and all the previous meaningless comments were suppressed.
The hot comments in the comment section under his Weibo were dominated by blessing replies from Yangxing artists. The fans responded well, and there were no extreme remarks. It should be that Qin Cheng had done some special public relations.
The number of followers of Qiu Xing’s Weibo account has exceeded one million, an astonishing increase. The number of his Weibo followers has increased and decreased, but overall it is still increasing.
All in all, at present, the announcement of the relationship has not caused any negative impact.
But it may also be that the public relations were done too well, suppressing public opinion and preventing any negative influence from emerging.
Xie Yang checked other things and found that all those candid photos of the graduation ceremony that were flying around were gone. He searched for his and Qiu Xing's names, and only his and Qiu Xing's official Weibo announcements popped up. All the messy Weibo posts from marketing accounts were deleted. The search page was so clean that it didn't look like an artist had announced a relationship.
Xie Yang wanted to laugh.
Aren't you a coward? How come you are so overbearing when it comes to announcing your relationship and controlling public opinion, and only allow yourself to post the information about the relationship?
Xie Yang returned to the popular list and scrolled down, and Tao Yang's name came into view. He paused for a moment and looked at what Tao Yang sent.
Tao Yang: I am very sorry for defining the relationship between Li Yang and Mr. Qiu without clarifying the situation. I was inconsiderate this time. I will apologize to them in person later, and I am also very sorry for misleading everyone. I'm really sorry.
Express your apology in person?
Xie Yang raised an eyebrow and clicked on the comments under this Weibo post to take a look.
There was a lot of comfort in the comment section, and everyone said that Tao Yang did not intentionally mislead public opinion. He was just worried that his juniors and elders from his family friends would be maliciously exploited by marketing accounts, so he posted that Weibo on impulse. The behavior is generally well-intentioned and not a big mistake.
Good one, not a big mistake.
Xie Yang tapped the back of his phone lightly.
If we look at the Weibo post that Tao Yang posted earlier from the perspective that Tao Yang indeed misunderstood the meaning of Qiu Xing's introduction and thought that Qiu Xing and he had a shameful relationship and that the two wanted to hide their relationship, it was actually very tactful and beneficial to them. Apart from the fact that the act of posting on the blog itself seemed a bit presumptuous, it can be said that it was done with good intentions.
But the premise is that Tao Yang did misunderstand Qiu Xing’s introduction.
As a child who grew up in an aristocratic family and has also been in the entertainment industry, could it be that he really cannot see the meaning behind his and Qiu Xing’s high-profile behavior? The news broke so quickly at the time, but he and Qiu Xing had absolutely no intention of using public relations to suppress the news. Wasn't this behavior obvious enough in itself?
Xie Yang looked at Tao Yang's Weibo again and locked his phone.
Regardless of whether Tao Yang had any misunderstandings or did so out of good intentions, Tao Yang's behavior of speaking out on his own initiative had crossed his bottom line.
…
The car stopped at the hotel entrance. Xie Yang looked outside and found that the media waiting outside had dispersed completely.
Wu Shui explained, "Boss Qiu attaches great importance to the privacy of himself and his family. As for news about secretly filming and secretly photographing, the Qiu family has a complete response system."
To translate it, when it comes to news about enemies, the media can only report what the enemies want to report and what they voluntarily accept to be interviewed. Those who secretly take photos or report the news can all expect to be sued.
It's true that having money can do whatever you want.
Xie Yang nodded, got out of the car and strode into the hotel.
When opening the door, Xie Yang deliberately made his movements very gentle.
The room was dimly lit and the curtains were all drawn. Xie Yang stepped in, turned around and gently closed the door, then stood there for two seconds before walking inside.
The carpet absorbed all the footsteps. Jie Yang turned out of the entrance and looked towards the big bed.
On the window side of the big bed, Qiu Xing was lying with his back to the door. Xie Yang walked around to the bed, sat cross-legged on the carpet beside the bed, and looked at Qiu Xing's sleeping face.
Qiu Xing must be very tired. Even when he was asleep, there was a hint of fatigue between his eyebrows.
Xie Yang stretched out his hand, touched Qiu Xing's forehead with his fingertips, and transferred his supernatural power into him bit by bit.
Qiu Xing's expression and breathing slowly relaxed.
After losing his supernatural power, Jie Yang did not withdraw his hand, but gently stroked Qiu Xing's brow.
Because of the will-making issue, Qiu Xing must have been harassed by his family's side branches and Rongding's shareholders all night and day, and he must have been very tired.
Xie Yang leaned towards Qiu Xing.
Will, medical condition announced, appearance announced... The person who was hiding well in his shell is now forced to be completely exposed in front of the public and has to face all kinds of public opinions and views... Will you feel painful and helpless when no one is around?
This is just a coward.
Qiu Xing's cell phone on the bedside table suddenly rang. Qiu Xing's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again, showing signs of waking up.
Xie Yang hurriedly picked up Qiu Xing's phone, unlocked it and turned it to silent mode, then forced a trace of his supernatural power to reach out to Qiu Xing.
Qiu Xing fell asleep peacefully again.
Xie Yang relaxed and looked down at Qiu Xing's phone. In addition to an unread message reminder at the top, there was also an alarm reminder. He paused and slid down the reminder bar to take a look.
The alarm clock sets off at six o'clock, which is almost the time when the crew normally gets off work.
besides……
Xie Yang's eyes fell on the message prompt below the alarm clock.
Unread messages come from Tao Yang.
Xie Yang turned off the alarm clock, didn't check the message, put the phone back on the bedside table, got up and went to the bathroom.
…
Qiu Xing slept until after eight o'clock.
Xie Yang was sitting on the carpet at the head of the bed playing with his phone. When he saw Qiu Xing open his eyes, he immediately said, "Tao Yang sent you a message. Qiu Jingwei called you at around seven o'clock, and I answered. He spoke to me in a sarcastic tone, and I scolded him. I suspect he will have a cerebral hemorrhage like his brother Qiu Jingbang. He Jun also called and said that the person in charge and shareholders of the Rongding branch wanted to talk to you in person. The Liu family also called, and I answered the call. When they heard it was me, they hung up the phone."
Qiu Xing's eyes quickly cleared up and he instinctively looked up at the clock on the bedside table.
"I turned off your alarm. It's already past eight. I haven't had dinner yet. I'm waiting for you to join me. I'm very hungry now."
Qiu Xing frowned, immediately retracted his gaze, lifted the quilt and stood up, saying: "Why haven't you eaten yet so late? No need to wait specially--"
Xie Yang stood up, bent down and kissed Qiu Xing.
Qiu Xing stopped standing up and looked up at Jie Yang.
Xie Yang stretched out his hand to press Qiu Xing's slightly frowned brows, looked Qiu Xing in the eye, and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I like you, too. Also, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you for what happened yesterday, and everything was caused by me. I shouldn't have brought you in front of the media and the public without careful arrangements and considerations. I'm an asshole."
“…”
"I'm sorry, I won't do that again."
Qiu Xing looked straight at Jie Yang, his Adam's apple rolled twice quickly, and suddenly reached out to hold Jie Yang in his arms, one hand supporting the back of Jie Yang's head, the other hand supporting Jie Yang's back, his arms tightened inch by inch, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Jie Yang... you really always have a way to drive me crazy."
…
It was too late and going out to eat would be a waste of time, so Xie Yang simply ordered room service.
While waiting for dinner to be delivered, Qiu Xing went to the bathroom to wash up. Jie Yang was waiting outside the bathroom and knocked on the bathroom door after hearing the sound of the hair dryer.
The sound of the hair dryer stopped, then the door opened, and Qiu Xing, wearing a bathrobe, appeared behind the door. His hair was still dripping with water. He held the hair dryer in one hand and raised his other hand to grab his hair back and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xie Yang said nothing, but walked forward and hugged Qiu Xing.
Qiu Xing looked down at Jie Yang, then raised his arms and wrapped them around him.
The two hugged each other quietly for a while. Xie Yang rubbed Qiu Xing's shoulder, loosened his hand and stepped back, took the hair dryer from Qiu Xing's hand, turned on the switch, and motioned Qiu Xing to turn around.
Qiu Xing looked at Jie Yang, then turned and faced the mirror.
Xie Yang grabbed Qiu Xing's hair and blew it slowly while asking, "What did Dr. Kirkman say?"
As the hair dryer moved, more and more hair fell onto the sink. Qiu Xing wiped them out and replied, "We can only try to weaken them, but we can't stop them completely."
"So you're going to be bald sooner or later?"
If it was before, Qiu Xing would definitely change his expression when hearing this question and avoid it immediately, but now he just remained silent for two seconds, then raised his eyes and looked at Jie Yang, and asked: "Will you... dislike it?"
"If you dislike me, I won't blow dry your hair."
The wet hair slowly dries.
"Jie Yang."
Xie Yang raised his eyes.
"Are you tired of being with me?"
Xie Yang gently patted Qiu Xing on the back of his head.
All the heavy emotions on Qiu Xing's face were wiped out by this and he frowned.
"Not tired." Xie Yang rubbed the place where Qiu Xing was just slapped, and asked, "Then when you are with me, do you feel uncomfortable being forced?"
Qiu Xing's eyebrows were hidden by his blow-dried hair, making him look much softer than usual. He looked at Jie Yang through the mirror, suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying, "No."
Xie Yang also laughed and said, "It seems that we are a perfect match, a perfect match."
Qiu Xing frowned at Jie Yang's analogy and said, "What a shabby pot and a rotten lid, nonsense." After saying that, he laughed again, turned around, grabbed Jie Yang's hand holding the hair dryer, pulled out the hair dryer and turned it off, then held Jie Yang in his arms and gently touched the back of his head.
He whispered, "You may run into some trouble in the future. The Qiu family, the Liu family, the Feng family, the Tao family... many people will be watching you. Are you afraid?"
Xie Yanghui hugged Qiu Xing and put his chin on Qiu Xing's shoulder. He looked at Qiu Xing's back through the mirror and did not answer Qiu Xing's question. Instead, he asked, "From now on, every little move of yours will be watched by netizens. They will doubt your feelings, discuss your illness, comment on your appearance, and dig into your family situation... Will it be uncomfortable?"
When two people are together, in addition to sharing happiness, they also have to share many troubles together. You will cause me trouble, and I will cause you trouble, we are all the same.
If you don't even have the awareness to help each other share the burden, how can you be together happily?
Qiu Xing tightened his arms, understood what Yang meant, and said, "I will protect you."
Xie Yang smiled and said, "I will protect you too."
…
Not long after, dinner was served. The two sat at the small table by the window and had a very, very late dinner together. During this period, Qiu Xing received two calls, one from He Jun and one from abroad.
Xie Yang served Qiu Xing a bowl of soup and asked, "Is it troublesome?"
Qiu Xing replied: "It's not a problem. The shareholders there want to personally confirm my physical condition and the details of my will. After all, this is related to Rongding's future and many people's jobs."
Speaking of wills, Xie Yang retracted his hand that was handing over the soup and said, "I suddenly want to make a will, too."
Qiu Xing took the soup but it was empty. He knew that Xie Yang was angry, so he reached out and held Xie Yang's hand holding the soup, saying, "I will take good care of myself and have a good rest in the future... I won't stay up late."
That's about right.
Xie Yang put the soup in front of Qiu Xing.
Qiu Xing glanced at Jie Yang, and suddenly moved his stool closer to Jie Yang, so that their legs and shoulders were touching.
Xie Yang turned his head to look at Qiu Xing.
Qiu Xing stretched out his arm and gently held Jie Yang's waist, saying, "I need to go abroad as soon as possible. If it's fast, I can be back in three to five days, if it's slow, it may take ten days or half a month. Things over there are very trivial to deal with, and I also need to have dinner with some investors and partners."
The chain reaction of publishing the will came.
Xie Yang pinched his chopsticks, nodded, and said, "Just go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me. My scenes in City N will be finished in another week, and my parts will be greatly reduced after that. If the filming goes fast, my personal scenes will be finished in mid-July. After this drama is finished, I will not take on other dramas until you recover."
Recovery.
Qiu Xing looked at Jie Yang, who seemed to be certain that his illness would be cured, and tightened his arms, saying, "I will be back as soon as possible."
Xie Yang shook his head: "No need to rush, just take your time with the work, your health is more important."
…
The next morning, Xie Yang and Qiu Xing walked out of the room together.
He Jun has already gone downstairs with Qiu Xing's luggage and some necessary documents. Qiu Xing will take He Jun directly from the airport in City N, transfer in City G, and fly abroad.
Just before leaving, Qiu Xing revealed his true nature. He frowned and muttered, "Don't worry about the public opinion on the Internet. I have found a team to keep an eye on it. If any enemies or Liu family members come to you, don't pay any attention. Eat well in the crew, have a good rest at night, and don't-"
Xie Yang raised his hand to cover Qiu Xing's mouth, looked at Gao Xuanhang who had just left the room across from him, and said, "Good morning, senior."
Gao Xuanhang didn't expect to see the couple walking out the door together as soon as he went out. He was very embarrassed. He tried not to look at Jie Yang's hand covering Qiu Xing's face and replied, "Good morning."
Qiu Xing silently pulled down Jie Yang's hand, acting calm and steady.
Xie Yang laughed and introduced Gao Xuanhang: "Senior, this is my boyfriend, Qiu Xing. Qiu Xing, this is Gao Xuanhang, a senior in the crew who takes good care of me and plays my elder brother in the movie."
My boyfriend? Just a boyfriend?
Qiu Xing frowned for a moment, then quickly relaxed his brows. He took the initiative to reach out to Gao Xuanhang and said, "Hello, I'm Qiu Xing. Thank you for taking care of Jie Yang during this period of time."
Gao Xuanhang hurriedly shook Qiu Xing's hand.
After exchanging greetings, the three of them went to take the elevator together. At the elevator entrance, they met Wen Han and several crew members again. This time, Xie Yang did not introduce Qiu Xing again. He just greeted everyone.
After entering the elevator, everyone couldn't help but glance at Qiu Xing.
Qiu Xing frowned imperceptibly. Xie Yang noticed this and leaned back to separate Qiu Xing from everyone else.
The elevator stopped at the restaurant on the third floor and a group of people walked out. Gao Xuanhang invited Jie Yang and Qiu Xing to have breakfast together, but Jie Yang declined. He packed two breakfasts and then took the elevator with Qiu Xing again to go down to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel to meet He Jun.
Before getting in the car, Qiu Xing suddenly stretched out his arms to hug Jie Yang, kissed Jie Yang on the forehead, and then got in the car with He Jun.
Xie Yang bent down and looked at Qiu Xing through the car window, and said, "Remember to eat breakfast."
Qiu Xing nodded.
Xie Yang stood up and took a step back.
"Jie Yang."
Xie Yang bent down again and looked inside the car.
"I will take the initiative." Qiu Xing's eyes were deep, and his shell, which had been soft for a day because of doing something wrong, hardened again. He said, "It's just my boyfriend. I'm not satisfied." After saying that, he raised the car window.
The car drove away slowly.
Xie Yang was stunned for a moment, then he smiled, stood up and watched the car leave. He turned around and walked towards the hotel only after he could no longer see the car.
