Chapter 18

The moment Fu Xiuning saw Xingshi, he had a feeling that his favorability score was likely to change.

But it was useless to resist, the notification sound still rang.

He tried to look at Xingshi calmly so as not to jump back too quickly, and asked: "Did you dye your hair?"

Xingshi suppressed his overly brilliant smile.

He thought that being too handsome was indeed a scourge, and he was really guilty, and said: "Well, the stylist said it would look good after dyeing it."

He had no idea about Mi Jin and Thin Rattan Pink, and only knew the specific color after seeing the wig sample today.

The stylist wanted to dye his hair Thin Rattan Pink, saying that it would give him a feeling of first love. But he found that Mi Jin was a bit like the hair color he had in the magic world, so he chose this one, thinking that it would be auspicious, and he would change to something else after he disassembled the system.

The stylist also liked Mi Jin very much, and dyed it for him conveniently.

The light gold on the off-white background is between camel and white. It is not as cold as silver white, but has a soft tone. It matches Xingshi's transparency that is different from that of his age, and the sense of luxury is fully maximized.

If Xingshi in light rattan pink is bright and vivid, then Xingshi in beige gold is noble and mysterious, but he smiles beautifully, smartly, and very eye-catching.

Fu Xiuning suppressed the emotions in his eyes: "The place we are going to later will be crowded. Is there a hat upstairs?"

Xingshi said: "Yes, I'll get it."

He turned around and heard the reminder sound again.

[Ding Di]

[Current favorability value: -5]

He stepped into the elevator, waited silently for a few seconds, and asked, "Did you drop offline?"

The system said, "No."

Xingshi said, "So stable this time?"

The system said, "I knew that your points might go up after you dyed your hair, and I also knew that he would definitely struggle. Now it's dropped again."

It looked at it very openly, "How great! It only dropped by 1 point. We are now the same as Lin Kecheng, and we will surpass him soon. There's no rush. Just keep calm."

Xingshi thought to himself, you are comforting me, and said, "Well, no rush."

​​The interns had just finished class and saw him coming towards them, and immediately exclaimed, "Oh shit."

Feng Zifan watched him walk up to him and took a deep breath: "Are you going to give me a chance to live?"

Xingshi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "There's no way, it's natural. Let me use your duckbill cap."

Feng Zifan said: "Just go to eat, why wear a hat?"

Xingshi said: "I have something to go out for."

Upon hearing this, Feng Zifan not only took the hat, but also gave him an unopened mask, and told him to be careful on the road.

Xingshi returned to the parking lot with the two things.

Before getting out of the elevator, he put on his hat, and seeing that Fu Xiuning had already got in the car, he got into the passenger seat.

Fu Xiuning watched him fasten his seat belt.

Xingshi lowered his head slightly, and the brim of the hat covered a little of his eyebrows and eyes. The half of his face that was exposed had beautiful lines and was still very attractive.

He retracted his gaze.

He had known for a long time that he liked this person's face.

Fu Xiuning started the car and drove out slowly, his eyes calm.

But when he realized this, the other person's soul had already dissipated, and there was no chance to recognize him.

[Ding Di]

[Current Favorability Value: -6]

Xingshi looked straight ahead, with a calm face.

The system shouted: "Why did he go back down again!"

Xingshi said: "Struggling."

The system said: "But this is too fast, how can he be so stubborn, admitting that he fell in love with someone at first sight and it's not shameful!"

Xingshi returned its words to it: "Don't worry, keep calm."

System: "..."

It was the evening rush hour on Friday, and there were many cars on the road. It was stuck in traffic several times before it got on the highway.

Xingshi was curious: "Boss, where are we going?"

Fu Xiuning said: "The airport."

Xingshi said: "Who are we going to meet?"

Fu Xiuning's lips curled slightly: "Director He and Qi Changyi."

He said patiently: "I told you a few days ago that Qi Changyi would come to the roadshow, remember? They are on the plane today."

Xingshi was surprised, he thought they would arrive tomorrow.

He asked: "Are we going to have dinner with them tonight?"

Fu Xiuning nodded: "This is a rare opportunity, I will take you to meet people."

Xingshi looked at him: "Boss, actually I haven't told you something."

Fu Xiuning asked in cooperation: "What?"

Xingshi said: "Director He is my father, his biological father."

Fu Xiuning's face was appropriately surprised: "What?"

Xingshi said: "Really."

Fu Xiuning spoke after two seconds, and asked according to common sense: "With your background, why did you become a trainee?"

Xingshi also wanted to know the reason.

But the original owner's information was the same as Fu Xiuning's, which simply summarized life with words, without subjective ideas. He guessed many things through the original owner's behavior.

He gave a random answer: "I want to prove that I can succeed without relying on my family."

Fu Xiuning took it as the truth and gently encouraged him a few words to support his idea.

Xing Shi was very moved: "Thank you, boss, you are so kind."

Fu Xiuning said "hmm" and accepted it calmly.

Xing Shi changed the subject: "So can you tell me when you knew about it?"

Fu Xiu Ning remained calm: "Huh?"

Xing Shi reasoned: "The top students in Class 1 are the ones the company is promoting for the talent show, shouldn't you be planning for them?"

Fu Xiu Ning said: "They will be joining the factory soon, so they don't need me. You have the most fans in this trending event, so I want to train you."

Xing Shi said: "But in order to maximize the benefits, you should bring one or two more people with you."

Fu Xiuning said leisurely: "Maybe because you are my junior, I take you with me, it seems less utilitarian?"

Xing Shi said: "Then both parties can meet in the restaurant. Qi Changyi is the boss of the company. Not only is he the leading actor of the movie, but he is also a relative of Director He. It is enough to have him accompany me. Is it necessary for you to pick me up at the airport in person? You are so eager to take me there, as if you want to send me warmth."

Fu Xiuning's smile deepened immediately.

[Ding Di]

[Current Favorability Value: -5]

Fu Xiuning knew that this kid was smart, of course he would not be so careless.

He sold people without any burden: "Qi Changyi came to me a few days ago to ask about you, and I asked."

Xingshi said: "...What did he say?"

Fu Xiuning said: "He said you are his younger brother whom he has never met, and he wants to cultivate a good relationship with you."

Xingshi and the system: "..."

Sure enough, the visitor has bad intentions, right?

He said "Oh", and collapsed in a mess, and didn't ask any more questions.

Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at the airport.

Director He's plane landed on time, and before Xingshi saw him, he received a message from the other party, informing him that he had arrived in City Z tonight.

He didn't go back, but waited for a while at the VIP channel, and saw a team of six people coming out. Two of them covered themselves very tightly, wearing hats and masks, and the remaining four were not so particular, either wearing only hats or masks, or nothing at all.

Xingshi's eyes fell on the middle-aged man wearing only a hat.

As the other person got closer, he could see more and more clearly. He

was of standard height, a little fat, but his facial features looked handsome. He was talking to the person next to him with a smile, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

A sour feeling suddenly surged into his nose.

He couldn't control it, and there was no reason.

He seemed to have returned to the magical continent in an instant: the blood-stained dagger that fought with others for the first time; the dark swamp where he hid to escape pursuit; the cold night with pain and sleeplessness; the Blood Moon Valley where he narrowly escaped death.

He met many people, a witch looking for her sister, brothers who supported each other, a hunter who bravely entered the magic cave for his wife, a father who avenged his children... He walked forward, and the lights of the city-state were everywhere, but not one of them was his home.

Xingshi pressed down the brim of his hat and suddenly closed his eyes.

The system was the first to notice something was wrong and asked in confusion: "Are you crying?"

Fu Xiuning paused when he heard this, and turned his head slightly to look at the people around him with his peripheral vision.

He heard Xingshi's voice, as usual: "What are you thinking about? I'm brewing emotions."

The system didn't understand: "What emotions are you brewing?"

Xingshi said: "Hug Director He and cry and say 'Dad, I was wrong, I won't make trouble anymore, let's live a good life', and smoothly let your personality become what it is now, okay?"

The system was shocked: "No, don't be kidding!"

It used to ask the host to go home and bow his head casually, and only mentioned it occasionally when they talked about it, and didn't urge him seriously, because it was worried that his personality would collapse and Qi Changyi might make things difficult for him.

As a result, the host wanted to give him a big slap right from the start. It said, "Calm down. If they suspect you, I'm not sure what they will do. Director He is very busy. Let's just deal with it this time. Remember to be more polite."

Xingshi said, "I'll try."

After a few words, his mood finally eased and he lifted his hat.

Fu Xiuning glanced at him casually and saw that his expression was normal, and there was indeed no sign of crying.

Director He and his group walked over during this process.

Xingshi had his head down just now, and they only saw the gentle Fu Xiuning. It was not until this moment that they realized he was there.

Director He was shocked: "Sui Sui?"

Xingshi looked at each other.

After experiencing a sudden emotional attack, he felt that he was most likely the original owner, for no reason, purely intuitively.

It didn't matter if he lost his memory, he had read the original owner's information.

The conflict between the original owner and Director He was very simple. When he was eight years old, his mother died in a car accident. Director He raised him alone until he was ten years old, and began to focus on his career. He rarely took care of him. Later, he went abroad to make movies and basically missed his entire junior high school.

It was not until the second year of high school that Director He wanted to remarry. The original owner saw that you don't have time to raise children but have time to fall in love. In this case, he can also do without a father.

Director He knew he was guilty and had been apologizing for the past two years.

Xingshi thought that if he was really the original owner, with his current state of mind, he felt that it was actually nothing.

Children have their own lives, and parents have their own parents. Although Director He was not a good person, he would take time to come back to see him every year and would try to stay for a few more days. With his grandparents and nanny by his side, he had no worries about food and drink, and he grew up peacefully.

Life and death are all trivial matters.

He called out, "Dad."

Director He hadn't been called that in years, so he quickly responded and walked over, looking him up and down, "You've lost weight."

Xing Shi said, "Not bad."

Director He saw that his mood was so stable, and he wanted to reach out and touch his son tentatively, but at this time someone came over.

Qi Changyi took off his mask and smiled: "This is Sui Sui. I always hear Director He mention you. You are really a handsome man."

Director He came back to his senses and introduced: "Oh, yes, this is Qi Changyi. You should know him, right? Let him take care of you in the company in the future."

Director He and Qi Changyi have finished their chat.

The bad family atmosphere is a problem after all. Qi Changyi is a few years older than Xingshi, and there is not so much generation gap, so he decided to persuade Xingshi. Director He knew that he was a good person and it was impossible for him to deliberately cheat his son, so he agreed.

Qi Changyi stood on Xingshi's side and knew that the child was right, but it was also a fact that his aunt and Director He had only obtained the marriage certificate but had not held the wedding yet. He hoped that his aunt would live a happy life, and was ready to build a good relationship with the child, steadily and steadily, and slowly resolve the conflict.

Xingshi looked at him and said, "I know you."

He greeted politely, "Hello, cousin."

Director He and Qi Changyi, who planned to find an opportunity to reveal this identity during dinner, said, "..."

It was so natural that they suddenly didn't know how to continue.
