The sunlight shone into the room through the gap in the curtains and hit Qiu Xing's face. Qiu Xing frowned, slowly opened his eyes, and instinctively reached towards his side.
Empty and cold.
Qiu Xing woke up in a second, sat up and turned his head to look around.
The quilt slipped off my body, and the slightly cool air outside the quilt rushed over.
Qiu Xing froze and slowly lowered his head to look at his body.
Two seconds later, he lifted the quilt and looked at it with a blank expression.
“…”
Qiu Xing raised his eyes, his expression was comically frozen, but all kinds of complex emotions were surging in his eyes. He instinctively scanned the room, trying to find someone, but he found no one. He only saw clothes scattered on the ground, among which his underwear was closely next to someone's pajamas.
His expression changed, and he quickly got out of bed, picked up his pajamas and patted them, stood there for two seconds, then quickly returned to the bed, sat on the bed for less than two seconds, then got out of bed and went to the bathroom to find his clothes and put them on.
After putting on the clothes, I finally felt a little more secure and rational. Qiu Xing splashed cold water on his face several times and looked at himself in the mirror.
It should be...no.
The memory of last night was very clear. He definitely did not do anything to Jie Yang that would involve taking off his clothes. It was just that... the kiss last night suddenly flashed through his mind. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly lowered his head to wash his face with cold water.
After a simple wash, Qiu Xing returned to the room, bent down to tidy up the clothes on the floor, then stood beside the bed, looked at the messy bed, prepared himself mentally, hesitantly, carefully, with a serious face, reached out to lift a corner of the quilt, and looked at the sheets.
No blood.
His tense shoulders relaxed slightly, then he frowned again and stood there for a long time.
In the end... is there or not?
His memory told him that there was no such thing, but what if there was?
His hands shook and the quilt fell back onto the bed.
It was almost lunchtime when Qiu Xing finally came out of the cubicle carrying a bag. He called Zhou Miao as he walked out. The call was connected, and the familiar cell phone ringtone sounded very close by.
Qiu Xing stopped and looked towards the direction where the sound came from.
Zhou Miao and Liu Sha sat on either side of the sofa in the office. Zhou Miao awkwardly held his phone, trying not to look at Qiu Xing's chafed lips. Facing Qiu Xing's increasingly dangerous eyes, he explained, "Yes, the young boss called me and asked me to come. He said... that you spent the night here."
Qiu Xing slowly put down his phone and said, "Last night...Jie Yang was drunk, and I took care of him all night."
Zhou Miao: “……Yeah.” His mouth was bruised from taking care of him.
Liu Sha was older after all, so she was very calm. She stood up and said, "I have temporarily stopped the operation of an elevator for regular maintenance. I will have someone clear the corridor for your departure."
Qiu Xing nodded and walked away.
"Ah Xing."
Qiu Xing stopped and looked at Liu Sha.
"Yangyang will go directly to J City to join the crew after his business trip. This bedroom will not be used for the time being. He asked me to help him send the bedding in the room to be cleaned and put away. I want to ask, is there anything in the room that is inconvenient for me to see?"
Qiu Xing tightened the bag in his hand and pretended to be calm and said, "No... I have a meeting, please send me back to Rongding first."
Liu Sha nodded and immediately asked someone to clear the corridor.
Ten minutes later, Qiu Xing successfully left Yangxing. Liu Sha returned to Jie Yang's office and used the key to enter the small bedroom, but found the bed was empty and there was no bedding.
…
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed in city x. Xie Yang got into the car that Qin Cheng had rented in advance, took off his mask, and turned on his mobile phone which had been turned off for several hours.
A bunch of missed calls and unread messages popped up, all from Qiu Xing. Xie Yang clicked on the message and took a look, then almost laughed out loud.
A little after nine in the morning.
Qiu Xing: Jie Yang, are we... are we... are we... tell me the truth.
About an hour later.
Qiu Xing: Let Wu Shui take you to the hospital.
Qiu Xing: I will arrange a private doctor for you. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell the doctor. Don’t endure it because you are shy.
About half an hour later.
Qiu Xing: Does it hurt?
Another hour later.
Qiu Xing: Jie Yang, are you lying to me? I looked and the sheets were clean.
I even went to look at the bed sheets.
Xie Yang could almost imagine Qiu Xing frowning and carefully and shyly checking the bed sheets bit by bit. He coughed to suppress the laughter that was about to come out, and called Qiu Xing.
The call was answered immediately, but Qiu Xing didn't say anything.
Xie Yang deliberately lowered his voice and said coldly: "What, you want to take advantage and run away? Forget it, I guessed it would be like this. It's nothing, I'm hanging up." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
A few seconds later, Xie Yang's phone started ringing wildly.
Xie Yang hung up Qiu Xing's five calls in an extremely cold manner, and only picked up the sixth call slowly and asked, "Have you decided to take responsibility?"
"...Jie Yang, don't lie to me."
"How did you break your lip?"
The other side fell silent instantly.
Xie Yang pressed: "Did you take the initiative?"
Still quiet.
Xie Yang asked a soul-searching question: "Did you stick out your tongue?"
The phone was hung up.
Xie Yang still laughed, and as he laughed he felt something was wrong, so he turned his head to look around.
Qin Cheng held the itinerary and asked, "Did you finally remember that there was me in the car?"
"..." Xie Yang restrained his expression and straightened his posture, saying, "Brother Qin, you speak, I listen."
Qin Cheng glared at Jie Yang helplessly, picked up the itinerary and told Jie Yang about the work arrangements for the next week.
There are a total of ten songs in Xie Yang's new album. Except for one MV that was shot entirely indoors and required Xie Yang to shoot from beginning to end, the other MVs only had some lip-syncing scenes for Xie Yang, which could be shot faster. But no matter how fast it goes, a week is still too tight, so there is no way to avoid it. Xie Yang has to stay up late for long periods of time in the next seven days.
"Director Zhou will definitely give you some time to adjust your state after you go to the crew. You can catch up on your sleep after you go to the crew. Is that okay?"
Xie Yang nodded to indicate that it was okay.
Qin Cheng then mentioned some things that needed attention in the next few days, then put down the schedule and said, "I heard some gossip. Your and Tong Jian's former teammate, Mo Bin, seems to be active again."
Xie Yang wasn't too surprised to hear that.
The ban on Mo Bin was originally arranged by Ji Zehui. Now that Huangtian has undergone a major reshuffle and Ji Zehui has left Huangtian, it is normal and easy for Huangtian to re-employ Mo Bin to disgust Yangxing and the new iud group as Huangtian needs to recuperate and cannot engage in a major fight.
Qin Cheng was a little worried: "The Golden Melody Awards will be held in June. Ji Zehui's "Breaking the Cocoon", Xin IUD's "Iud", and Tong Jian's "Child's Language" will all be competing for awards. The possibility of winning is very high. If Mo Bin comes out to discredit you at this time, it will hinder your winning of the award."
"Don't worry, Mo Bin can't get out."
Qin Cheng was surprised: "Why?"
Xie Yang explained, "Because I am also a shareholder of Huangtian, when Hong Zhijie was buying up Huangtian shares, I took advantage of the situation and bought some shares in the name of Wu Shui. Although the proportion is not large, it can still make a little impact. Later, I will give the agency rights of these shares to Yang Qing and let Yang Qing negotiate with Hong Zhijie."
Qin Cheng was shocked: "You also received Huangtian's stocks?"
Xie Yang nodded.
Qin Cheng took a while to digest the news, and shook his head and said, "You really are... It seems that I worry too much. It's okay then, you just focus on filming the MV, and I'll take care of the other trivial matters."
…
The filming was so busy that Xie Yang didn't have time to look at his phone until dinner time.
In one afternoon, Qiu Xing called eight times and sent six or seven messages. The contents of the messages were varied, with some ambiguous "you..." and "we...", as well as concerns and indirect inquiries.
Xie Yang read it carefully and then made a phone call directly.
The call was answered immediately, but Qiu Xing still didn't say anything.
Xie Yang said as he unpacked his lunch box: "I will be very busy in the next week and won't be checking my phone often."
"How busy?"
“The kind of busyness that requires staying up late.”
Qiu Xing's voice deepened: "Must I stay up late?"
"Um."
Qiu Xing stopped talking again.
Xie Yang said: "I only have ten minutes to eat, I'll hang up first, you should get some rest early." After that, he hung up the phone and picked up his chopsticks to eat.
It was already past two in the morning when the shooting ended that day. Xie Yang took out his cell phone and checked. There was no message or call from Qiu Xing. He locked his phone and got in the car to go back to the hotel.
The hotel was booked by Qin Cheng, and it is near the filming location. On the way back, Qin Cheng told Li Yang a new piece of news.
"The female lead of 'I See You' has finally been decided. It's Wen Yao, the last Parkson Best Actress winner. She's 26 years old and this is her first time playing the female lead in a movie."
Xie Yang was surprised and confirmed: "Wen Yao?"
Qin Cheng nodded and asked, "Why, do you know him?"
Xie Yang shook his head.
I know him and I don’t know him. Wen Yao is one of the important female supporting characters in the original book. She is the heroine’s rival in the early stage and her best friend in the later stage. She has helped the heroine a lot.
Wen Yao is a real white, rich, beautiful and second-generation star. Her father is a director and her mother is a well-known fashion designer. I remember that at the end of the original book, Wen Yao married into a jewelry family in City B, and quit the entertainment industry to help her husband start a business.
According to the original plot timeline, Wen Yao and Mu Zhouyi should have become good friends by now. But now the plot has been greatly changed, and Mu Zhouyi's situation and reputation are completely different from those in the original book. I wonder if these changes have affected the relationship between Wen Yao and Mu Zhouyi.
The car stopped in front of the hotel. Xie Yang came back to his senses, put on a hat and mask, got out of the car and entered the hotel lobby.
The hotel lobby was empty and quiet in the early morning, making the presence of someone sitting in the lounge area very prominent.
Xie Yang stopped and walked straight towards the elevator as if he didn't see it.
After the elevator opened, Xie Yang, Wu Shui and Qin Cheng stepped in. As soon as they turned around, someone touched their foreheads.
Xie Yang raised his eyes.
When Qiu Xing met Jie Yang's gaze, he reflexively moved his hand down to block Jie Yang's sight.
The elevator doors closed and began to rise. Wu Shui and Qin Cheng looked up at the sky and the ground respectively, pretending that they did not exist.
After a few seconds, Qiu Xing put down his hand, stood next to Jie Yang, and tried to hold Jie Yang's hand.
Xie Yang raised his hands and put them in his pockets.
Qiu Xing paused, then domineeringly reached into Jie Yang's pocket, grabbed Jie Yang's hand and held it, saying: "I didn't get off the plane until twelve o'clock, and it's already past one o'clock here. There are no vacant rooms in the hotel."
Xie Yang threw Qiu Xing's hand away and said, "Wu Shui, give your room to Mr. Qiu, and you go to my room and sleep on the floor."
Wu Shui: “…”
