Chapter 23: Secretly in love with me?

Shen Jixing made an appointment with the other party to meet.

Before leaving the house, he seemed to suddenly remember something, went upstairs and knocked on the master bedroom door.

"Zhou Yili, are you awake?"

The room was silent for a moment, and then a man's hoarse, lazy voice was heard.

"The door is not locked. Come in by yourself."

Shen Jixing opened the door.

The snow-white curtain in front of the French window was lifted up, causing the pages of the musical score on the ground to turn rustlingly.

He stopped by the bed and looked at the little lion lying lazily in his sleeping position.

"Are you using your car today?"

The little lion was too lazy to even open his eyelids, half of his face sunk into the pillow, suppressing his messy blue hair: "I have more than twenty cars, which one are you talking about?"

“…”

Sometimes I really laugh at myself.

Shen Jixing was silent for two seconds: "It's all right. I drove my car to the event site yesterday. Just in case, I'll borrow your car for a few days."

His voice was as cold and indifferent as ever, as if he remembered that the young master had always minded his arrogant attitude.

After a two-second pause, he added three more words: "Is it okay?"

Zhou Yili lazily opened his eyelids and looked at him.

Shen Jixing met his deep and wild eyes and thought that based on his understanding of him, Zhou Yili would probably make a few mocking remarks:

You run out all day long. Is this a motel where you can sleep whenever you want?

But unexpectedly, there was nothing.

"The keys are downstairs. You can choose whichever car you want to drive."

He lowered his eyes in disinterest, pulled the velvet blanket over his face, and said in a cold and impatient voice: "Decide these little things on your own in the future, don't bother me."

Shen Jingxing's gaze fell on the few strands of black and blue hair sticking out from under the thin blanket.

He moved his fingers slightly and finally nodded: "Well, go back to sleep."

…

Shen Jixing drove to the agreed box.

The director had already arrived in advance. When he saw him, he jumped up and excitedly welcomed the best actor: "Shen, Shen the Best Actor?!"

"Hurry, hurry up and sit on the tea. I'll go get you some sofa."

“…”

Shen Jixing declined, "Don't bother."

He got straight to the point and asked, "Did you bring the contract?"

The director was stunned.

This is really a mountain right outside the door.

"I have it." He took out the contract he had prepared in advance, but hesitated as he handed it over. "Are you really sure you want to participate in my variety show?"

Although he understood.

This is an opportunity for him to redeem himself and completely get rid of the reputation of a bad director who is always bad at making films and always loses money.

But this may not be a good thing for Shen Jixing...

Shen Jixing seemed much calmer than he had imagined. His wrist bones extending from his sleeves were snow-white, and his long fingers were holding the glazed green teapot and slowly pouring tea.

He chuckled casually, "Am I here to...have some free tea?"

The director actually didn't understand why Shen Jixing did this.

But he felt that there must be some truth to it.

"But, I still have to say something up front..."

A thin mist shrouded his cold eyebrows and eyes, like an unfolded scroll of ink painting.

Shen Jixing understood what he meant.

While his appearance on the show will bring great attention, it will also cause the entire show to be caught up in a public opinion storm, and even the director may be attacked.

"You say." He said lightly.

The Chinese entrepreneur and new director ranked tenth by Forbes stared at him with a very sharp and sincere gaze and spoke slowly:

“I will buy trending searches.”

“Lots and lots of trending searches.”

Shen Jixing sometimes really thinks so.

There is something wrong with the brains of these rich people.

His thin, beautiful lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, only three words came out: "Whatever you want."

He signed his name at the end of the contract.

The director held up the signed contract with his eyes shining. He looked happier than if he had made 1 billion from the launch of his newly developed software.

In the puzzled look of Shen Jixing, he said: "Actually, I have had a dream since I was a child."

Shen Jixing nodded and interrupted: "I understand. A man is a boy until he dies."

The director seemed to have found a confidant at that moment.

“…”

A misty white fog rises up, and the air is filled with the rich aroma of tea.

Shen Jixing didn't leave in a hurry, he just drank some tea.

Suddenly, I heard the director outside the screen making an excited phone call: "Honey, our variety show is saved!!!"

Shen Jixing paused as he was pouring tea.

He raised his clear and elegant eyes and looked over. The other party seemed to sense something and leaned back from behind the screen, revealing half of his head and asked caringly, "What's the matter?"

Shen Jixing: "...It's okay."

Respect, blessing.

"Not only does we have the new top star Zhou Yili in this show, but we also have the top actor Shen Yung joining us. With these two top stars coming together, it would be a shame if my variety show didn't become popular."

The director vowed, "This time, I will definitely take back the title that belongs to me... Shen, Shen, Best Actor?"

Assistant Director: “?”

The director looked at the person who suddenly appeared behind the screen and was almost scared to death.

Shen Jixing raised his hand and pulled open the screen. His face was as calm as frost and snow, and he asked back in a light tone:

"Who did you say?"

…

Zhou Yili also signed on for this variety show.

And before him.

Shen Jixing had never expected that Zhou Yili had been on the same path as him since his debut, focusing on their respective fields and never participating in any reality show variety shows.

Why did he suddenly want to join...

A subtle and incredible thought came to my mind.

Shen Jixing thought of the notebook he had closed for no reason.

"Could this bastard possibly..."

Shen Jixing narrowed his eyes slightly and stepped on the accelerator, and the sea-blue Michaelen disappeared in the traffic.

On the second floor, the director held his precious contract with lingering fear.

"It's a close call. I held on, husband."

Five minutes ago, Mr. Shen asked politely: "Maybe, I can try to tear it down unilaterally..."

The director stepped back in disbelief, holding the contract and uttered a sharp, heart-wrenching cry: "No! No! You! Can! Tear it! Tear me first!!!"

“…”

I've probably never seen such a crazy director before.

Actor Shen finally left the box with a headache, holding his forehead.

After a moment of silence, the assistant director spoke coldly: "You Qian, could you please stop calling me that?"

The director was puzzled and asked back: "Why not? Isn't your last name Gong?"

"..." The assistant director hung up the phone in silence, "Whatever you want."

…

Shen Jixing pushed open the door of the apartment and saw Zhou Yili having dinner on the first floor.

The young master was having breakfast. The table was filled with everything that looked like a state banquet. He had a few tufts of messy blue hair on his head. He was holding a knife and fork elegantly, cutting the... pickled vegetable cubes on the plate.

Hearing the sound, she raised her eyes and looked at him.

"Hey, you're back?"

The tone of voice is as lazy and playful as ever.

Shen Jixing calmly scanned the contract beside the plate, which was exactly the same as the one in his hand.

"You're also in the new variety show directed by?"

Zhou Yili put the fork into his mouth, chewed slowly, and asked in a lazy and casual tone, "What a coincidence, you too?"

Shen Jixing breathed slowly and deeply.

Walk over and slowly press the contract on his.

The cold black eyelashes slightly raised, and asked sharply and bluntly: "Are you..."

Zhou Yi politely leaned back and interrupted him with a raised eyebrow.

"Having a crush on me?"
