Chapter 266 (End of Main Text)
On the same day, the performance video of Xia Mian's fan meeting was posted online. She sang live without any slacking off and made almost no mistakes throughout the entire performance. With such strong skills, the few haters who were waiting to see her make a fool of herself finally shut up.
Onlookers couldn't help but ask the probing question:
Is this really the kind of skill an actor can display?
She'd be good enough to debut as the center of a talent show, right?
He's handsome, a good actor, has a great sense of variety, and is very capable. What are Xia Mian's potential limits, and what are his weaknesses?
Until a cotton god replied:
Summer hibernation is perfect in every way, the only downside is that he married young and can't marry me.
Yes, that is indeed a big problem. The onlookers left satisfied and bought an album on the side.
There's no way around it, earnest people are always favored, especially since he's so handsome, sob sob sob...
The first fan meeting was a great success, and the number of fans, fan loyalty, streaming index, and album sales have all reached new heights. The company had always regarded releasing albums as a condition for signing contracts, but the benefits have become more and more considerable. Moreover, some brands with a younger target audience have begun to extend olive branches to Xia Mian, which can be considered an unexpected bonus.
In order to make time for the upcoming movie, the fan meetings were scheduled very tightly, basically one every two days, with magazine and advertising shoots interspersed in between. Xia Mian has returned to her flying persona once again.
After a long holiday, I suddenly became busy, and I couldn't adjust to summer hibernation anywhere.
I'm not used to waking up early and going to bed late, not used to opening my eyes to find one city and closing them to find another, not used to the fluctuating taste of food and the unpredictable temperature.
Of course, the most uncomfortable thing is the empty bed every night before going to sleep.
Whenever this happened, he would always pick up his phone and text Zhou Pingchuan: "Brother Chuan, are you asleep yet?"
The next second, the phone rang without hesitation: "Are you done with your work?"
"Yeah, Wei Ge had dinner with the production team tonight, so it ended a little late," Xia Mian said, leaning against the headboard. She glanced at her watch and realized the hands had already passed midnight. "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
This incredibly disciplined man goes to bed around 11 p.m. every day without fail and goes to sleep before midnight. He slept really late today.
Zhou Pingchuan gave an irrelevant answer: "Do you remember how long it's been since you last came back?"
"I remember, today is the eleventh day."
"That's right, BB, you haven't been back for eleven days."
Xia Mian thought Zhou Pingchuan was expressing his longing, and felt secretly pleased. Then, he realized that something was not quite right.
Zhou Pingchuan most often called him by his childhood nickname "Mianmian," and only on one occasion did he like to call him "baby."
aestivation:"......"
Eleven days is indeed a long time; even a normal man would find it unbearable, let alone a beast like Zhou Pingchuan.
As Xia Mian was thinking, his phone suddenly notified him that the other party had sent him a video call request.
Xia Mian answered the call instinctively. On the other end of the screen, a man stood in the middle of the bathroom, not wearing a bathrobe. His sharp and muscular physique was on full display, and his erect penis filled the edges of the screen.
Xia Mian's face flushed, and she quickly burrowed into the covers.
"What are you hiding for?" Zhou Pingchuan grabbed a towel, drying his hair while glancing at the security camera. "Is there anyone else in your room?"
His gaze was so intense, it seemed to penetrate the screen. Xia Mian's heart pounded, and she quickly denied it: "No, no."
"It's best if that's not the case. If I get up in the middle of the night to take two cold showers while you're having a small gathering with people in your room, I'll consider punishing you."
Xia Mian asked curiously, "What kind of punishment?"
Zhou Pingchuan never expected him to ask that question, and his emotions, which had almost subsided, surged back.
A low, slightly hoarse voice came through: "Want to know?"
"BB, open your mouth."
"......"
Xia Mian didn't sleep well that night. She changed her clothes before going to bed and had a whole night of messy dreams about Zhou Pingchuan. She changed her clothes again when she woke up.
He only brought two sets of pajamas with him this time, and Zhou Pingchuan ruined them both. Xia Mian was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth. She put Zhou Pingchuan's messages on Do Not Disturb mode, intending to make that guy reflect on his actions.
There was also a fan meeting today. Putting away her phone, Xia Mian stepped onto the stage in top form, enjoying the applause and cheers from her fans.
During the interactive segment, fans, as usual, asked some cute and adorable questions. One fan even asked, "Mianmian, when are you going to invite Jay Chou to be a guest? I've never seen Jay Chou in person before!"
You should know that seeing Zhou Pingchuan at Kepler is not a good thing; it means that being expelled is not far off. Only Xia Mian's fans dare to say that.
Zhou Pingchuan has been very busy lately, and Xia Mian knew he couldn't come. Not wanting to refuse Mianhua, she thought for a moment and said, "Actually, in my heart, the Fan meeting is more like our little gathering. It would be different if he came. But I will try to invite him."
A little get-together with my idol...that sounds so intimate, like old friends. Cotton, who asked the question, nodded vigorously: "Yeah, yeah, that's our little get-together!"
After the event ended, Xia Mian casually thought of sharing the group photo with Zhou Pingchuan, but when she saw the "Do Not Disturb" icon, she locked her screen again.
Just as he was about to put his phone away, Zhou Pingchuan's message popped up first: [Photos?]
Xia Mian knew what he wanted, and reluctantly sent the message: "[Your fans are still thinking about you, asking when you're coming to be a guest.]"
There might be an urgent matter at the company. After sending this message, Zhou Pingchuan did not reply.
Xia Mian is like this when she's busy, which often causes their chats to be interrupted, but they can always reply as soon as she finishes.
Xia Mian didn't pay any attention and continued to prepare for the next match.
The next event was held in Nangang, a place with many memories for Zhou Pingchuan.
The stuffy air made it hard for people to breathe, but Xia Mian's enthusiasm remained undiminished, and she continued to deliver the most professional and stunning performances for her fans.
When it came to the final group photo, Xia Mian habitually took out her phone, half-squatted at the edge of the stage, and posed.
The host suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
As he finished speaking, the back door of the venue opened, and three people walked in. The man in the middle was carrying a deer antler staff, while the two women beside him supported each other.
Summer sleepers widened their eyes—
It turned out to be Zhou Pingchuan, Ren Xiping, and Xue Chunling!
The host smiled and said, "At the last fan meeting, some fans asked to meet Mianmian's family. Now, everyone who loves Mianmian and Mianmian's beloved family are all here. Please look at the camera and let's take a perfect group photo!"
The cotton girls are always of high quality. Upon hearing this, they suppressed their excitement, surrounded Zhou Pingchuan and the other two, and posed for the camera in the positions they had already planned.
Ren Xiping and Xue Chunling rarely take photos, but following the host's reminder, they shyly made a peace sign.
Zhou Pingchuan stood in the middle of the crowd, making no unnecessary movements. But from the moment he entered, Xia Mian noticed that he had taken off his ever-present gloves.
At this moment, a string of letters was clearly tattooed on that scarred wrist.
—Summer.
That's where the artery is located. The pigment bearing the name "Summer Sleep" pierces the skin, flows into the bloodstream, and then returns to the heart through the blood circulation.
An adult's heart beats about 100,000 times a day. With each beat, it's like Zhou Pingchuan saying "I love you" to Xia Mian.
Xia Mian rubbed her eyes, smiled, and pressed the shutter.
