Chapter 38: Countdown to Exposure "Qiao Zhizheng, why is your face so...
Qiao Zheng understood immediately.
Qiao Zheng hated herself for understanding it so quickly.
Qiao Zheng decided to avoid Qiao Zhizheng and deliberately lagged behind on the way back, hoping to spend less time with Qiao Zhizheng.
Qiao Zhizheng didn't notice Qiao Zheng's avoidance for the time being, and he put on a warm smile and moved closer to Qiao Zheng.
Tang Fengmian looked at them, thoughtful.
That night, after Qiao Zhizheng entered the bathroom, she lowered her eyes to look at the traces of red pigment on her skin, some of which were long, deep red, and some were light, crimson.
Qiao Zhizheng imitated Qiao Zheng's expression, with cold eyes, straightened mouth corners, and slightly raised head, giving off a sense of distance that kept strangers away.
Holding the mobile phone camera in one hand and pointing it at the mirror, Qiao Zhizheng put his other hand over his other shoulder from the bottom of his back. His eyes were blank. After adapting to this state, he imagined that the hand on his shoulder was Qiao Zheng's hand.
The palms of "Qiao Zheng" were covered in red paint, and the mirror was rippled like the surface of water. The "Qiao Zheng" in the mirror said to Qiao Zhizheng outside the mirror, "I don't need a reason to like you."
"Qiao Zhizheng, I like you very much."
"Qiao Zhizheng, you're fine."
"Qiao Zhizheng..."
"Qiao Zhizheng..."
"Qiao Zhizheng..."
A layer of mist gradually appeared in Qiao Zhizheng's eyes, tender and charming. A trembling "Qiao...Zheng..." came out of Qiao Zhizheng's throat.
The moment he heard his own voice, Qiao Zheng's vague and misty call disappeared, and Qiao Zhizheng returned to reality from imagination.
A trace of regret flashed across Qiao Zhizheng's eyes. She closed her eyes tightly and regained the state of immersion she had just been in. Her hand moved from the top of her head to her smooth forehead, then to her plump and rosy lips, and continued downwards.
Stop at the hips.
Qiao Zhizheng was in a state of ecstasy, gently closed her eyes, and enjoyed the carnival of being alone at the moment.
That night, Qiao Zheng received a photo. Qiao Zhizheng was facing the mirror, which could only reflect a part of her shoulder, revealing traces of red paint on her neck. Qiao Zhizheng held the mobile phone in one hand, and the fingertips of the other hand were lightly placed on her neck. Her expression was pure yet with a hint of tenderness, and she looked at the camera directly.
The moment Qiao Zheng saw the photo, she felt as if the phone in her hand had suddenly turned into a red-hot soldering iron, and she threw it away in a hurry.
Qiao Zheng looked at the heavy dusk outside the window and didn't dare to think any further about Qiao Zhizheng's intention in sending the photo.
After sending the photos, Qiao Zhizheng took a shower and went to bed with satisfaction. Putting on a silk eye mask, Qiao Zhizheng closed her eyes contentedly, and tried to get her spirits together so that she could appear in front of Qiao Zheng in the best condition tomorrow.
The next day, Qiao Zhizheng found that Qiao Zheng seemed to be avoiding her.
When adults communicate with each other, they retreat when they know it’s difficult.
Qiao Zhizheng understood this truth, but Qiao Zhizheng didn't want to understand it in front of Qiao Zheng.
Qiao Zhizheng is unwavering in his adherence to the principle of going against the current and not breaking down to build up.
Such interesting scenes can often be seen on the set.
Tang Fengmian's gaze followed Qiao Zhizheng intentionally or unintentionally. Qiao Zhizheng stared at her with a sharp gaze. Qiao Zheng felt the fiery gaze falling on her body, but her face was as steady as a rock, and she discussed the plot with Xia Cangshu.
Xia Cangshu's gaze lingered between the three of them, and he asked Qiao Zheng with amusement, "What are you three doing? It's so weird."
Qiao Zheng said calmly, "How should I know?"
"Tsk~Who would believe you!"
Qiao Zheng didn't care whether Xia Cangshu believed it or not.
Qiao Zhizheng didn't care about Qiao Zheng's avoidance and still stuck to Qiao Zheng every day as if nothing had happened.
"Qiao Zheng~ Let's go fishing for piranhas~"
"Qiao Zheng~ Eat this! This kapia fruit is delicious, sour and sweet, and as fragrant as a flower."
"Qiao Zheng~ Let's go see the Black and White River."
"Qiao Zheng~ Can I go to your room to watch a movie with you tonight?"
In response to Qiao Zhizheng's invitation, Qiao Zheng always replied:
"Can't!"
“No!”
“No!”
“I don’t want to see it!”
Faced with Qiao Zheng's rejection, Qiao Zhizheng became more and more courageous.
"Okay! I'll find you next time."
Being in the same crew, Qiao Zheng had no choice but to avoid it and console herself that it would be fine as long as the filming was finished.
Once, Qiao Zheng couldn't help herself and asked Qiao Zhizheng, "Why me?"
At this time, the sun is setting, and the sky is filled with orange, crimson, pink, and deep purple sunset glow. The river reflects the scenery of the sky, and the sky and the water surface are reflected in a brilliant and colorful color.
The golden light of the setting sun fell on Qiao Zhizheng's eyebrows and eyes, making her look golden and beautiful.
Qiao Zheng didn't say it clearly.
But both of them understood the unspoken meaning.
Qiao Zhizheng's slightly curled long eyelashes fluttered like a golden butterfly, and her thoughts flowed into Qiao Zheng's ears along with the words.
"You're fine."
"You're so kind."
"Why don't you ask others to ai...you."
The word "love" was spoken very softly, so softly that there was no sound at all. Perhaps only Qiao Zhizheng herself understood what the word meant.
There was a thin layer of window paper hanging between the two of them. As long as Qiao Zhizheng didn't point it out, Qiao Zheng would pretend nothing had happened.
Qiao Zheng turned around and took only two steps when she heard Qiao Zhizheng asking, "Qiao Zheng, why can't it be me?"
Qiao Zheng paused, turned her back to Qiao Zhizheng and did not answer.
"Because I'm a girl?"
Qiao Zheng shook her head.
"Because we look alike?"
Qiao Zheng shook her head.
"There must be a reason."
Qiao Zheng spoke in a cold tone, "No reason."
Qiao Zheng walked forward, leaving Qiao Zhizheng standing there with a dim look in his eyes.
Xia Cangshu noticed the awkward and cold atmosphere between the two of them, but had no intention of intervening. After all, both of them were in the right state when filming started, and the results met Xia Cangshu's expectations. Sometimes, the state displayed by Qiao Zhizheng under Qiao Zheng's guidance even exceeded Xia Cangshu's expectations.
Xia Cangshu had no interest in being a peacemaker. Meddling in other people's affairs would only bring trouble. Neither of the two parties involved had done anything wrong, so why should she interfere?
This strange situation between Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng continued until an important brand event after they returned to China.
Xia Cangshu's real-life shooting has taken his team to several places around the world, and it is almost finished. What remains are some small scenes that can be shot in the studio.
Xia Cangshu waved her hand and gave the two main actors a holiday at the same time. Xia Cangshu didn't say it explicitly, but secretly hoped that the relationship between the two could be eased during the holiday and become harmonious again.
However, events developed differently from what Xia Cangshu expected.
As soon as Qiao Zheng returned to Huadu, she went to take care of company matters. As soon as Qiao Zhizheng landed, she received a notice from Ding Qian to participate in an important brand event.
"Xiao Qiao, this Huacai Jewelry event is actually a disguised assessment. I have inside information that they are looking for a new face with a fashionable image this year. This is like a stepping stone, and it affects whether you can access fashion resources in the future. Come on, do your best."
"Okay! I'll do my best."
As soon as Qiao Zhizheng returned, she picked up the social skills she had used at business dinners she had attended before, maintained her figure, took care of her skin, learned about Huacai jewelry, chose clothes, and customized her look.
Everything was ready. Qiao Zhizheng was well prepared and ready to go with full confidence, but she was defeated by a letter sent by a fan before entering the door.
The styling was done in the brand's partner hotel and the event started at 7pm. Qiao Zhizheng arrived at the hotel at 10am just in case. Outside the hotel, fans from various groups who heard the news were waiting.
When Qiao Zhizheng and her assistant appeared in the passage cordoned off by hotel security, her fans screamed loudly.
"Xiao Qiao, look at me! Look at me!"
"Xiao Qiao! You are so beautiful!"
"Xiao Qiao! I've watched all the dramas you've acted in! Keep shining! We'll always support you!"
"ah--!!"
“Qiao Zhizheng——!!”
"Qiao Zhizheng, I love you!!!"
…
Qiao Zhizheng waved to thank the fans for their warm love, and received a thick stack of letters from them.
Qiao Zhizheng walked into the hotel. After a while, Xia Ying came out and treated the fans to milk tea on behalf of Qiao Zhizheng.
Qiao Zhizheng sat by the window, looking down at her fans at the hotel entrance with a smile on her face.
Whenever Qiao Zhizheng encounters something happy, he will share it with Qiao Zheng.
Regardless of whether Qiao Zheng refused hesitantly or without hesitation, Qiao Zhizheng's passion for sharing never extinguished.
Qiao Zhizheng called Qiao Zheng via video, thinking that she would be rejected by Qiao Zheng again like last time, but unexpectedly Qiao Zheng answered the video.
In the video, Qiao Zheng is wearing frameless glasses, and the reflection of the lenses reveals long paragraphs of text on the computer.
The mobile phone should be placed on the lower right corner of the computer, facing Qiao Zheng's chin. From this angle, Qiao Zheng's facial contours are still perfect and delicate.
Looking at Qiao Zheng working seriously, Qiao Zhizheng blinked and watched in fascination.
Qiao Zheng waited for a while, but when Qiao Zhizheng didn't say anything, she shifted her gaze to the lower right corner, looked at Qiao Zhizheng, and asked her, "What's the matter?"
Qiao Zhizheng turned the camera around and said excitedly to the people downstairs, "Qiao Zheng! Look! I have so many fans! They all came to see me!"
The camera pans to the pile of letters received, "Look! These are the letters they sent me."
Qiao Zheng's eyes softened, and she smiled faintly, "Yeah. That's great."
Qiao Zhizheng felt the love from her fans and was very happy.
Qiao Zheng recalled the love she received from her fans in the past, and happy memories flooded her mind.
It is a very happy thing to be liked by fans. A group of strangers have their hearts ignited by a shining existence. They come from different places just to express their love to the stars in their hearts. They do not ask for anything in return. They are very cute.
But there are always people who take advantage of this pure love to make a fuss.
Qiao Zheng discovered that something was wrong with Qiao Zhizheng after she turned the camera back to the front.
"Qiao Zhizheng, why is your face so red?"
Qiao Zhizheng touched his face sheepishly, "Is there...is there?"
At first, Qiao Zhizheng thought that her face turned red because she was excited and shy when she saw Qiao Zheng. Gradually, her breathing became rapid and she felt weak all over.
Qiao Zhizheng saw double in front of her eyes and said with difficulty, "Qiao...Zheng...I think...I'm allergic."
Qiao Zhizheng heard the sound of a chair sliding on the ground as Qiao Zheng stood up, followed by the sound of Qiao Zheng's footsteps. Qiao Zheng calmly instructed Qiao Zhizheng as she walked.
"Where's your assistant? Call her! Ask her to get you some allergy medicine."
"I'll be right over now."
