Chapter 9
The sunlight gradually became hotter, turning from golden to light yellow. The young man stood in the sunlight, his soft black short hair dyed a light golden brown.
He lowered his eyes, avoiding his sight. From Tu Xi's perspective, he could see his slender white neck, and a few drops of naughty sweat slid down his collarbone and fell deeper.
The man's eyes became deep and dark, his throat was dry, and his breathing became a little faster even though he didn't exercise.
No! It's not time yet.
Tu Xi closed his eyes suddenly, and when he opened them again, he had restored his gentle mask. He was like a caring boyfriend, and he was considerate and didn't ask any questions.
"It's eight o'clock. Let's go have breakfast together. Before that..." he asked softly, "Do you want to go back to the room and take a shower?"
"Okay." The young man nodded, opened the door and went upstairs as usual.
Tu Xi stared for a long time, until the back figure completely disappeared, he pulled the clothes on his shoulders in disgust. The feeling of the collision of flesh still remained on his skin, making him sick.
The scene he just saw emerged involuntarily in his mind.
The tall man and the gorgeous young man were no more than ten centimeters apart, and they looked very well matched from a distance.
When Wei Junhao left, he bumped into him in a panic, and even lowered his head to apologize. His flushed face and shy expression were even more unsightly.
Tu Xi returned to the room, took off his shirt, and chose a white T-shirt to put on.
The collar of the white T-shirt is embroidered with a delicate little red rose with cute pointed thorns. Wearing it is like carrying someone with you.
Make him feel satisfied.
[Buzz buzz buzz~]
The mobile phone on the bed keeps ringing.
On the bright screen, an unfamiliar number without any notes is sending text messages continuously.
[I don’t know why you have become what you are now? From childhood to adulthood, your father and I have invested a lot of effort in you, and you have lived up to everyone’s expectations and become the pride of our family. ]
[Tu Minghuai, Tu Jun, Tu Shiyi, everyone covets the company and can’t wait to get shares from your grandfather. ]
[Among all the grandchildren, the old man likes you the most, and he intends to make you his heir. 】
【But you entered the entertainment industry without saying a word and became a star. Your father and I strongly opposed it, but you turned a deaf ear to it. 】
【You are still young and want to try more ways. Your father and I later understood and accepted it. But you shouldn't have found an actor as your partner and made it known to everyone. 】
【When you return to the company in the future, which daughter of a famous family will be willing to accept you? 】
【Think about it carefully and don't let your father and I down. 】
...
The man stood by the bed, looking down at one text message after another.
In a trance, he seemed to have returned to his childhood. A strong sense of suffocation enveloped him. The sea water rushed in from all directions. The strong pressure squeezed him into pieces.
He deleted the text message expressionlessly and blocked the number.
No need to reply, no need to explain, and no need to hold out hope. Thousands of failed communications and countless disappointments have accumulated. Even a fool would not do something with a zero chance of success.
Moreover, Tu Xi has been a smart child since he was young.
The Tu family is a large family. It started from the grandfather's generation and has become a huge company after more than 60 years of accumulation.
His father is ambitious and wants to inherit the company. He has no ability, so he puts all his hopes on his children.
They control him.
From big things like what school to go to? What knowledge to learn? What hobbies to cultivate; from small things like what clothes to wear? What food to eat? The arc of the corners of the mouth when smiling.
Tu Xi is like a puppet, controlled by his parents.
He is gentle, considerate, smart, well
-
mannered, and has a good appearance. No matter who sees him, they can't help but admire him as a "young talent".
But under the perfect skin is a cold, motionless soul.
He has no emotions, whether happy, angry, sad, painful, or joyful. He has lost his empathy and cannot empathize with other people's situations. It was not
until his grandfather found out that something was wrong and took his grandson over himself, and spent a lot of effort, that his condition gradually improved.
By chance, he participated in a campus stage play, and when he played the role, he felt that he was "alive".
After that, he naturally joined the entertainment industry, debuted in a talent show, and became the male lead of a TV series... step by step.
There are traces
of Tu Xi's sudden popularity. Even if he leaves his parents, the traces they have left will not disappear. He is used to living with a mask on, and his false and gentle temperament has long been ingrained in his bones.
He is a gentleman with elegant manners and a considerate neighbor's brother.
He has a handsome appearance, a smart brain, and perfect acting skills.
Maybe some people don't like him, but no one will dislike him.
Tu Xi thought his life would be so dull until he met Xia Yan. When he first met, he was amazed by his appearance, but that was all.
But someone always wanted to tease him.
With his ridiculously immature acting skills, he played the role of a love expert. He gave cliché roses, sweet chocolates, and crystal balls that only junior high school students would buy.
Like a big cat, he eagerly handed things over.
Every time he was rejected, he would become visibly frustrated, making people want to touch his head, stroke his chin like a cat.
If he accepted the gift, the young man would look at him with sparkling eyes, as if he had done a great thing.
It was really fun to tease him, and Tu Xi sank into it unconsciously.
When he reacted, he had already been deeply involved and couldn't extricate himself.
Tu Xi knew that Xia Yan didn't love him, but since he dared to provoke him, he couldn't think of leaving. Even at all costs, he would keep him by his side.

"Heartbeat Bang Bang" After yesterday's "running map", the guests were exhausted.
The director did not announce any tasks today, nor did he start a live broadcast, so the guests were allowed to play by themselves and wanted to film the sweet daily life of the couple.
The variety show will be filmed for a total of seven days, but apart from the live broadcast, the broadcast time is only five hours, two episodes, each episode is two and a half hours.
Many unnecessary shots will be cut by the director.
The most important thing for artists is exposure. Who doesn’t want to be famous when participating in the show? Ahem...Except for someone who wants to show off.
After listening to the director’s words, the guests immediately understood-it’s time to grab the camera!!!
Everyone has to rely on their own skills.
Song Xueyang and Zhong Feiyang chose to go swimming. The blue sea and blue sky, handsome men and beautiful women, wearing swimsuits and touching each other, and then applying sunscreen to each other, the sweet candy will definitely leave a camera.
Bai Zhiyi and Ruan Meixian, who went against the grain, chose the amusement park.
They are mature adults, but they are full of childishness, which attracts a lot of fans.
As for the other two groups,
Xia Yan didn't want to go out, so Tu Xi naturally accompanied him; Fang Xihua wanted to go out, but Wei Junhao ignored him at all. He was so frustrated that he said a lot of pitiful words to the camera to ensure that he could earn enough sympathy points.
……
…………
6:30 pm, private airport.
A white plane landed on "Ai Xin Island" with a loud noise. The staff opened the door, and two figures drove to the shooting villa of the "Heartbeat" program team under the escort of bodyguards.
The sun sets in the west, and the sky is dyed a bright fiery red.
Zhao Wenhan was restless, checking his clothes again and again to make sure there were no stains or wrinkles. He was excited and nervous: "What should I say when I see Xia Yan later?"
"Tell the truth."
"Isn't it too straightforward?" Zhao Wenhan was worried, "Yanyan has a high self-esteem. If I say I will give him resources and support him... no, have a relationship with him, will he be angry?"
Zhao Wenxu was disdainful in his heart: "Just a little star."
"And Tu Xi..."
"There's nothing to worry about."
Zhao Wenhan asked, "Huh?"
"Tu Xi is a top star with plenty of resources, but they have only been dating for half a year." Zhao Wenxu asked someone to find out the exact time. He continued, "Xia Yan can still only play supporting roles in second-rate web dramas, which is enough to show that Tu Xi has never given him resources and doesn't care about him."
And this official announcement was probably taken by paparazzi, so they had to admit it.
Zhao Wenxu thought casually.
He didn't think Xia Yan could refuse their conditions. An ordinary person who graduated from high school, he entered the entertainment industry with his face and got wealth that was hard for the working class to get.
What else can he do after leaving the circle? Go home and move bricks?
When a person is used to making quick money, it is definitely more painful to make him work honestly and earn a fixed salary every month than to kill him.
"So don't worry." Zhao Wenxu said confidently: "Xia Yan will be yours."
"Oh...oh." Zhao Wenhan nodded obediently, but couldn't help thinking of what happened that day in the bar. Tu Xi...it seems that he doesn't care about Xia Yan as his brother said?
On the contrary, he is full of love and possessiveness for Xia Yan.
He pursed his lips. No, he can't help others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige. He will definitely succeed.

Villa.
The director called all the actors together, picked up a loud speaker, and said with full energy: "Good evening, today is a day off, I believe everyone is having a lot of fun, I have an important announcement here."
"Starting tomorrow, we will add two special NPCs. You can receive various tasks from the special NPCs. After completing the tasks, the rewards are generous. Please do your best."
"Now, please welcome our special NPCs, A Da and A Er."
Two figures walked out of the shadows.
Zhao Wenxu, who was called A Da, twitched his mouth and looked unhappy. This name was too casual.
And A Er, Zhao Wenhan, was staring at Xia Yan with shining eyes. When Xia Yan looked over in shock, he tilted his head and gave a well-behaved and sweet smile.
Xia Yan: "..." Help! ! ! !
