Chapter 70 Double Standards
The skin gradually turned red in the boiling steam, and even the eyes became hazy, and whoever he stared at seemed to be seen in blur.
Fang Xin leaned against the stone wall, his eyes slightly narrowed, like a little cat squinting comfortably.
Although the other two people talked, they only said a few words about work. Fang Xin wanted to run away several times. After all, this was not his company's business.
Lu Ziyan felt a little regretful for asking Fang Xin to come along, and he couldn't help wondering if this team building was originally for Fang Xin.
Xu Shian was so sure that he would invite Fang Xin that he only mentioned it after the filming was finished, even though not many artists were free at that time.
The more Lu Ziyan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and Fang Xin felt more and more sleepy.
Fang Xin saw that he could not hold on any longer and wanted to go back to rest, but Xu Shi'an was the first to come out of the water.
There were a few mouth-watering drops of water hanging on his muscles, his waist was lean and strong, his bathrobe hung loosely on his body, and his clavicle and pectoral muscles could be vaguely seen.
Fang Xin was so shameless as to look at her twice more. Instead of looking away, he looked at her a few more times.
Xu Shi'an could naturally feel the heated gaze and her ears turned red inadvertently.
Fang Xin also went ashore. As soon as he got ashore, he felt unsteady on his feet and almost fell down. Strong and powerful arms held him and helped him stand steady.
Their skin was still touching through the bathrobe, but Fang Xin suddenly pushed Xu Shi'an away in panic. Her cheeks were red from the steam, and it was unclear whether it was because of shyness or the hot spring.
Lu Ziyan couldn't catch up at all. He felt like a light bulb. He was unwilling to accept it, but it wasn't enough to make him angry.
"Thank you, brother. I'll go back first."
The hotel prepared this time provided one room per person, so Lu Ziyan had no reason to go back with Fang Xin. He could only slowly stand up and confront Xu Shi'an.
"Mr. Xu, Xiaoxin came here with me. It's not good for you to butt in."
Lu Ziyan, who had always been as timid as a quail in front of Xu Shi'an, unexpectedly became tough, and looked at Xu Shi'an with eyes full of vigilance towards strangers.
"What is meddling?" Xu Shi'an adjusted his bathrobe, hiding his skin underneath it. "It's meddling only when he doesn't allow me to."
The smug tone almost angered Lu Ziyan, "Do you think this team building is good, Mr. Xu?"
The response he got was a cold and indifferent look, "Yes, so what."
Lu Ziyan looked at Xu Shi'an's departing back with such anger that he almost bit his teeth off. He clenched his hands into fists and felt his own powerlessness for the first time.
Feeling completely suppressed by the superior to the point of being unable to stand up, Lu Ziyan clenched and unclenched his fists, then clenched them again.
At the same time, Fang Xin threw himself on the bed, his eyes slightly dazed.
He thought that he actually had no specific sexual orientation, maybe he didn't have a favorite person of the opposite or same sex in the real world, but when he saw Xu Shi'an's body today...
An indescribable feeling rushed to his head, and Fang Xin attributed it to the dizziness from soaking in the hot spring.
That night, several people from Yuexing organized a big dinner. Fang Xin didn't plan to go. Originally, she just wanted to play with Lu Ziyan, so what was the point of having dinner with people from Yuexing?
When Xu Shi'an appeared at the door, Fang Xin was really scared.
"Mr. Xu?!"
Xu Shian's face didn't look too good when he heard this title, "Yeah."
Fang Xin noticed what he was holding with his sharp eyes. A faint fragrance emanated from it. After being hungry for a whole day, he finally couldn't resist the temptation.
"You didn't eat it, so I brought it to you."
Fang Xin took it gratefully and was about to close the door, but Xu Shi'an was standing outside the door with no intention of leaving. This made Fang Xin feel troubled. Should she ask Xu Shi'an to come in and eat with her?
In the end, the two of them sat in Fang Xin's room and ate the meal that Xu Shi'an brought.
It’s not like the two of them haven’t eaten together before, but they’ve never eaten alone in a room like this!
Fang Xin was restrained and did not dare to eat freely. He would look at Xu Shi'an's movements after taking a few bites. It would be embarrassing if the two of them caught the same one.
As luck would have it, the two men actually caught the same one.
When their fingers intertwined, Fang Xin jumped away as if he had been electrocuted, with shock visible on his face.
Xu Shi'an naturally picked up a skewer of meat and placed it in Fang Xin's bowl. His deep voice sounded somewhat gentle in this situation. "Here you go."
The meal made Fang Xin nervous and hot. He couldn't understand what Xu Shi'an had done today.
In fact, he couldn't stand it just now in the hot spring. Except for filming, he had no close contact with men at other times. But the difference from the contact with Lu Ziyan at that time was... facing Xu Shian's body, he was actually a little embarrassed.
This was also a fresh experience, and Fang Xin directly put this feeling into the filming process.
The team-building activities at the hot spring resort during these few days were not that fun, but Fang Xin actually had enough rest.
On the day she returned to City A, she met another person. When their eyes met at the airport, Fang Xin knew she was doomed.
Leon was so happy to see his muse that he greeted Fang Xin with joy in his eyes.
"Mr. Fang! It's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect you to be in City B. You went back too quickly last time, and I didn't have the chance to take you to City B to have fun..." Li Ang's eyes were shining, his gaze fixed on Fang Xin.
Fang Xin chuckled and thought further ahead. Li Ang's enthusiasm was indeed at the level of a foreigner, and now he was almost sticking to him.
As they were getting closer, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. It seemed like someone was looking at him from somewhere, and even Li Ang could feel it.
He took two steps back with interest, "Are you going back?"
Fang Xin nodded. "Yes, I just came to City B to play for a few days and then I'll be back."
"What a coincidence, I'm also going to City A, and we'll see each other more often from now on." Li Ang's uncontrollable excitement really hurt some people's eyes.
Lu Ziyan looked at Fang Xin and Li Ang, and frowned, "Xiao Xin may not be able to see this gentleman often, as he still has a movie to shoot."
"Really? That's a pity, but I'll find a chance to come." Li Ang ignored Lu Ziyan. He was looking forward to going to City A to see Fang Xin and spend more time with his sweetheart.
Fang Xin actually rejected him very clearly, but she didn't stop him from approaching, so he still has a chance.
Li Ang is very tall, at 183cm tall, a few centimeters taller than Lu Ziyan. Fang Xin is not much different in height from Lu Ziyan. People passing by are all looking at these three handsome guys with different auras.
Fortunately, the boarding announcement sounded, and this time Fang Xin took the initiative to find Xu Shi'an in order to avoid a collision with Li Ang.
"Brother, who's sitting with you?" Fang Xin was shaking while holding the plane ticket, and he looked really scared.
Xu Shi'an let out a sigh of relief and asked Gu Qing to bring the ticket over to exchange with Fang Xin. The two sat down at the same time, and Li Ang came in from behind.
"Mr. Fang!"
"......" Fang Xin was completely exhausted, slumped in his seat without a trace of life. He nodded in response.
Xu Shi'an seemed to have noticed it. The coldness around him shocked Li Ang who was passing by. Li Ang plucked up the courage to ask Xu Shi'an to exchange seats.
Xu Shi'an sat calmly in his seat, his face stern, and his eyes full of disdain when he looked at others.
With a cold look, he shut up Li Ang's chattering mouth, and Li Ang went to a position some distance away from Fang Xin in a sullen manner.
Fang Xin breathed a sigh of relief and expressed gratitude with his eyes.
He spent several hours on the plane with his eyes closed, and his eyes were red when he got off the plane.
This time Fang Xin did not say in front of everyone in Yuexing that she had no relationship with Xu Shi'an, and got into Xu Shi'an's car directly.
This action made Xu Shi'an laugh and cry. The employees and artists of Yuexing saw their president leaning into the car window, and they spoke helplessly and quietly, as if they were afraid of disturbing anyone.
"I'm going to the company later. Do you want to go too?"
Fang Xin closed his eyes and said lazily, "I don't want to go, but I don't dare to go down."
I don't know if I heard it right, but there was actually a very light laugh.
By the time Xu Shi'an turned around to inform everyone, everyone in Yuexing turned their heads away, pretending that they had not seen or heard anything, but in fact the expressions on their faces had already betrayed them.
"Everyone, please go back in the car first. Rest today and work again tomorrow."
Everyone cheered, thinking that having a day off after such a long break was really perfect. They expressed their gratitude to Xu Shian and then dispersed, not forgetting to thank Fang Xin in their hearts.
Without Fang Xin in the car, maybe Shi An would really arrest them and take them back to continue working.
Fang Xin, who was regarded as his savior, could no longer resist his sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep in his seat.
I looked out the window again and saw that the sky was gradually darkening. The setting sun dyed the surroundings a light orange-yellow hue.
Fang Xin rubbed his right eye. His seat had been folded up long ago. He was wearing a fragrant suit jacket, which made him feel a little cold. He instinctively pulled up the jacket to cover his neck.
"Is it cold?"
The sound of paper rubbing against each other was heard in the silent carriage. Fang Xin turned his head back from the window. Xu Shi'an was sitting quietly beside him, looking at him with a document in his hand.
"Yeah, a little bit." The lazy, coquettish tone of the voice just after waking up is enough to melt some people's hearts.
"Get dressed, we'll go eat later."
Xu Shi'an was the first to get off the car. He walked very quickly, fearing that too much cold wind from outside would be blown in.
After staying in the car for a while, Fang Xin slowly got out and followed him into Xu's house.
An Mei saw Fang Xin's sleep-stained cheeks and couldn't help but pinch them, "Why are you still like a child?"
Maybe he just woke up and was still a little confused. The 1.80-meter-tall man just stuck to Anmei. "I'm very tired today, even though I didn't do anything."
An Mei's heart melted. This was the scene that Xu Shi'an, who had changed into home clothes, saw when he came down from the upstairs. He rubbed his fingertips and turned his head away.
After returning to City A, Fang Xin received many message notifications. They were all from Li Ang, asking him if he was free and could come out to help him get familiar with City A.
Fang Xin found reasons to decline. It wasn't because he didn't like being friends with Li Ang, but because Li Ang had never thought about being friends with him.
I really couldn't handle this enthusiasm, but luckily I had to get busy in a few days and go to the countryside to shoot a movie, which meant I could retreat from the world for a while.
The things An Mei packed for Fang Xin in the past two days have almost taken up half of the villa. She was afraid that Fang Xin would not have a good life in the countryside, so she asked people to send the things she couldn't take with her to him.
An-mei felt a little sad when she thought about going to the countryside for a long time.
"It feels like you haven't been back for long, and you're leaving again." An Mei touched Fang Xin's hair reluctantly. She had finally grown plump and white.
"Auntie, this is how it is when filming a movie. I promised that I would come back to see you as soon as you have time!" After Fang Xin's persuasion, An Mei felt better.
"Besides, I may have to come back to attend the press conference for "Bitter Winter" during the filming. I will definitely have time to visit you then. You can just play mahjong and do beauty treatments at home and wait for me to come back."
