Tangled
Xia Zhitang pushed Gu Zian, who was sitting in a wheelchair, on the way to the VIP waiting room, and Tang Ning followed behind them pushing the suitcase.
On the way, a passerby recognized Gu Zian and took a picture of him with his mobile phone.
Gu Zian was in a good mood today and had a smiling face throughout the whole process.
After boarding the plane smoothly, Xia Zhitang helped Gu Zian sit down and couldn't help yawning.
Gu Zian felt a little distressed when he saw the dark circles under Xia Zhitang's eyes. In order to take a vacation, she was busy arranging work for two days.
"Please give her a blanket." Gu Zian asked the flight attendant for more blankets, and then took out an eye mask from his backpack and handed it to Xia Zhitang.
"Sister, have a good rest."
As the plane took off, Xia Zhitang fell into a dream.
Only then did Gu Zian take out his computer and start reading the script for the variety show.
"Brother Gu." Tang Ning approached from behind them, "Have you read the script for the variety show?"
Gu Zian whispered, "I'm watching."
Tang Ning wanted to say something, but Gu Zian raised his index finger and placed it in front of his lips: "Shh! Let's talk after we get off the car. Let her get some sleep."
After saying that, he gently tucked in the blanket for Xia Zhitang.
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment, then slowly sat back down.
After getting off the plane, the car for the variety show crew was already waiting at the airport exit.
Gu Zian, leaning on his crutches, let Xia Zhitang get in the car first: "Sister, get in first. I'll sit outside with my crutches."
"Let me help you up first." Xia Zhitang looked at his plaster leg with some concern.
"It's okay, you know I'm strong." Gu Zian winked at Xia Zhitang.
Xia Zhitang glared at him, obviously understanding the subtle sarcasm in his words.
"Sister Xia, I want to go over the variety show script with Brother Gu in the car." Tang Ning, who was following behind them, suddenly spoke up.
"You take the passenger seat," Gu Zian instructed his assistant. "Xiaoyuan, you take the car at the back."
"Sorry to trouble you." Tang Ning smiled embarrassedly.
"It's okay." Gu Zian supported himself on the seat and got into the car. He handed the crutch to Xia Zhitang and scratched her palm quietly.
After getting off the empty airport highway, the car drove all the way to the vast plain. Residential buildings with white walls and black tiles were dotted in an orderly manner among the lush green wheat fields in winter.
"Sister Xia, Brother Gu and I will be a pair of bickering lovers later on. I hope you..." Tang Ning looked at Xia Zhitang in the passenger seat as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"It's all work." Xia Zhitang turned and met Tang Ning's gaze, who was looking at her from the front row. "An actor should have the corresponding professional qualities when acting, participating in variety shows, and participating in programs."
"It's okay, I'll take you there." Gu Zian thought Tang Ning was too nervous for her first variety show appearance and consoled her, "Just treat it like acting. Put yourself in their shoes and come up with some topics."
Tang Ning seemed to be encouraged and nodded happily: "Thank you Sister Xia, thank you Brother Gu."
On the variety show, Tang Ning pushed Gu Zian in a wheelchair and ran around various shuttle points. While sweating profusely, she gently scolded Gu Zian to hurry up and think of the answer quickly.
Gu Zian smiled and bickered with her, but he knew his limits very well. He didn't seem annoying, but rather had a refreshing and lovely temperament.
During the break in filming, Tang Ning couldn't help but smile. She looked up to find Xia Zhitang, but was a little confused to find that he was nowhere to be found. Suddenly, she felt like showing off, but no one paid any attention to her.
Gu Zian had actually noticed Xia Zhitang was missing a long time ago, but he was absolutely certain his sister was watching him from the surveillance camera. This belief emboldened him, making him even more immersed in recording this variety show.
Coming to the last stage, the dispersed teams returned to the square and obtained the corresponding ingredients and recipes to make stinky mandarin fish according to the total clues and points obtained today.
Gu Zian and Tang Ning's team also had another singer. The food they received was incomplete, but the recipe was the most complete.
The old fox from another team wanted to come over to exchange ingredients for recipes, so he found Tang Ning, who seemed to be the easiest to talk to.
Gu Zian leaned on his wheelchair and protected Tang Ning behind him: "If you want to negotiate terms, talk to me and Brother Xin. Don't bully the little sister."
"Hey, Xiao Gu, you're going to be a flower protector." The old fox teased, "I won't bargain with you little sister when you talk to me. I won't show any mercy to you stinky men."
"At worst, I won't change it." Gu Zian refused to give in. "You need more than we do."
Tang Ning, who was hiding behind Gu Zian, couldn't suppress the upward curve of her lips.
During the production process, Gu Zian was in charge of cooking, the male singer was responsible for lighting the fire, and Tang Ning helped pass things around.
"Cooking wine." Gu Zian stood in front of the iron boiler and stir-fried.
Tang Ning picked up the seasonings one by one and looked at them with a confused look on her face.
"The square white one." Gu Zian thought of his character from the variety show and added with a smile, "Clumsy."
"Shut up!" Tang Ning retorted embarrassedly, "Watch your legs so they don't get splashed with oil!"
According to his character, Gu Zian would have immediately retorted with the next sentence, but Tang Ning did not hear Gu Zian's reply. He looked up at him strangely.
Gu Zian was staring blankly at the director team's position. Xia Zhitang was sitting next to the assistant director's monitor. The two were whispering about something. The male director in his early 30s was laughing heartily.
Xia Zhitang subconsciously looked up and happened to see Gu Zian standing in front of the stove with a shovel in his hand, staring at her blankly. She smiled and gave him a cheer.
"It's okay, I'm a professional." Gu Zian received Xia Zhitang's encouragement and slowly replied to Tang Ning, but his tone was no longer as cheerful as before.
The initially heated CP feeling suddenly disappeared, and Tang Ning's upturned mouth corners became stiff.
After a busy day, Gu Zian's wish to continue spending time with Xia Zhitang in the evening was shattered because the hotel was too crowded.
"The flight is at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. It's already early morning. Can the patient have a good rest?" Xia Zhitang's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.
Gu Zian pouted and didn't want to answer.
"Okay, after we land tomorrow, let's go out and play for a while before going back to the crew, okay?" Xia Zhitang coaxed softly.
Gu Zian felt a little happier, but he felt depressed when he thought about how much effort they had put in to get an hour or two of alone time.
Lying on the bed, he reluctantly hung up the phone at Xia Zhitang's urging.
After getting off the plane, Tang Ning was just thinking about whether she could get a ride in Gu Zian's car again, but before she could say anything, Gu Zian said goodbye to her.
"We have something to do in the city." Gu Zian smiled and waved at her happily, "See you tomorrow."
Tang Ning's words got stuck in her throat, and only muscle memory was left to maintain the smile on her face.
She looked at Xia Zhitang who got into the nanny car with Gu Zian, and a sour feeling in her heart kept rippling in her chest.
The assistant helped Gu Zian into a sauna. He cleverly sent the two of them to the rest room, then made an excuse and slipped away.
In the lounge, which was even more private than a hotel suite, Xia Zhitang poked his chest with a smile: "Didn't you say you wanted to hang out? Why did you choose a 'private hotel'?"
"We're afraid of being photographed and can't be open and honest. It's better for the two of us to stay together quietly." Gu Zian pouted and jumped onto the bed with Xia Zhitang, leaning on his crutches.
Xia Zhitang couldn't help but laugh at Gu Zian's expression: "Why are you so impatient?"
"I've been looking forward to a week's vacation!" Gu Zian angrily bit Xia Zhitang's earlobe with his canine teeth, "I didn't even get a kiss on the face."
"Well, I'll replenish it for you now." Xia Zhitang unzipped his jacket and raised his face to kiss Gu Zian's smooth chin.
"Not enough." Gu Zian held Xia Zhitang's waist with both hands, caressing her lips faintly, "Sister, take the initiative."
Xia Zhitang smiled, straightened up slightly and kissed him, and Gu Zian took the opportunity to hold her on his lap.
"Legs." Xia Zhitang struggled slightly to get up.
"It's okay." Gu Zian answered vaguely, and then pulled the person into his arms with force.
When Xia Zhitang was left with only her underwear, Gu Zian suddenly let her go: "Sister, your legs are not convenient, help me."
His voice was hoarse with a hint of laughter.
Xia Zhitang opened her watery eyes, supported her soft body with one hand, and tapped Gu Zian's nose with the other: "Naughty."
Gu Zian grabbed Xia Zhitang's fingertips and bit them gently with his canine teeth: "You didn't take the initiative today."
While complaining, he pulled Xia Zhitang's hand down.
Xia Zhitang reached out to retrieve the clothes that had fallen under the bed, but was retrieved by Gu Zian.
"Sister, you were laughing happily with that director." Gu Zian held her in his arms and lifted her up sourly, "Your big baby was limping and performing hard, and you didn't even look at me!"
"I'm asking him some questions about the filming of variety shows." Xia Zhitang placed his palm on Gu Zian's chest, feeling his passionate and strong heartbeat, but recalling Tang Ning's eyes in his mind.
"Zi'an..." Xia Zhitang wanted to talk to him about Tang Ning, but he didn't know where to start, so he couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong?" Gu Zian sensed that Xia Zhitang was acting strangely and reached out to touch her forehead. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Xia Zhitang shook his head and put his face against Gu Zian's chest, as if this would bring him closer to him.
"Zi'an, you laughed very happily yesterday." Xia Zhitang thought for a long time, and his mind went around in circles before he came up with this sentence.
Gu Zian was stunned for a moment, picked her up and kissed her face: "This is work."
He took Xia Zhitang's hand and pressed it against his heart: "My true heart is with you."
Gu Zian looked at Xia Zhitang's troubled expression and added, "Tang Ning is your fan. She even drew a chibi illustration for you."
His eyes softened and he touched the top of Xia Zhitang's head: "If you don't like me, I won't accept this kind of variety show in the future."
Xia Zhitang shook his head: "That's not the problem, just take your work as usual."
She had no evidence to support her claim, so it would be inappropriate to accuse others of having ill intentions towards Gu Zian just based on her intuition, right?
Xia Zhitang looked at Gu Zian with resentment, and once again felt how difficult it was to be the girlfriend of a popular artist.
"Alright, I won't accept any variety shows with CP next time." Gu Zian thought Xia Zhitang was just upset about yesterday's variety show, so he hugged her and tried to coax her, "Let's not refuse the money. My dear girlfriend is the most important."
Xia Zhitang knew that he couldn't explain it in a few words, so he could only let Gu Zian misunderstand.
