Chapter 166 Missing You
After settling Ren Xiping in, we should head to the film set tomorrow.
With the schedule so far behind and the need to reshoot scenes that Tan Jingcheng had already filmed, Xia Mian knew she would be very busy. She held one last live stream to let her fans know.
Fans arrived very quickly:
[Wow, let me see who's doing the live stream! It's Jay Chou's one and only treasure, Mianmian!!!]
[Hehe, it's not just Jay Chou's treasure, it's our treasure too. It's just that we're not as rich or as romantic as Jay Chou, so we can make Mianmian play a treasure hunt among thousands of roses.]
[Why hasn't our precious comrade shown up for two or three days? Is he so moved that he offered himself to us and is being bombarded with news of his infidelity that he can't get out of bed?]
What are you talking about? My face turned yellow.
Before the show even aired, Xia Mian had already guessed that viewers would make fun of her... but what's with the "so much hype that she'll never come to bed" thing?!
He pretended not to see them and steered the conversation away from those topics: "Good evening, everyone. No dancing tonight, just singing a few songs and chatting casually."
[Is it because some part of your body can't take the strain, or you're injured and can't do the dance moves?]
Xia Mian is a normal man. Although he has no romantic experience, he has watched the works of various teachers with his friends and can understand what they are saying.
Helpless, he could only continue to pretend he didn't see it. While turning on the speakers and connecting the microphone to prepare for his singing, he secretly rejoiced that Zhou Pingchuan hadn't come to watch the live stream today.
Otherwise, there would be nowhere to put his handsome face.
Unfortunately, what you least want is what comes your way. He had just finished feeling relieved when those dazzling special effects, which were so cool they made him question his existence, lit up.
The comments section was as excited as ever:
[Yo yo yo, Z is here! I thought Z was sad and didn't want to watch the live stream!]
[That's right, Z didn't say a word when Mianmian received the gift.]
[Can you guys use your brains? Stop shipping people just because you see them. She simply enjoys watching Mianmian's livestreams and likes to spend money on her, is that wrong?]
Fans of Z and Xia Mian (ZM fans) said: "[It's not that I want to ship them, it's just that they're too sweet. Z is ruthless and doesn't talk much. When he enters the live stream, he doesn't say a word except to shower gifts. Mianmian is also shy and accommodating. It's just like a god-like male celebrity and his underground sugar daddy. Ahhhhh, I can't help but let out a groundhog scream again!]"
Shy?
cater?
When did he become shy, and when did he become accommodating? Shouldn't the audience open their eyes and take a closer look? He's clearly very open and honest!
To correct the viewers' distorted ideas, Xia Mian quickly greeted him warmly, just like other streamers would when defending their top spender: "Z is here! Welcome, welcome!"
It was evening, and Zhou Pingchuan was working in his study, so he didn't reply.
This suited Xia Mian perfectly, so he changed the subject: "I have to go back to work now, I won't be able to do live streams for a long time to come."
See, I told you so. Boss Zhou is ruthless and doesn't talk much; all he does is spend money.
Xia Mian: "...Aren't you all curious about what I'll be busy with next?"
Comment: [I was just about to ask that because I was curious]
Xia Mian: "I won't tell you even if you ask. It's a secret."
Comments: […Is this something a human being could do?]
Cotton cares about cotton, but cotton keeps running away; cotton is good, cotton is bad!
Xia Mian rarely teases her fans, but because she can't bear to see Mianhua (her fans) upset, she quickly softened and said, "Okay, okay, I was just kidding. I have to go back to the set to continue filming."
With Tan Jingcheng's scandal causing such a stir, and now that a new lead actor has finally been found, the production team will definitely have to make an official announcement to maintain the attention on "Legend of the Dragon".
Moreover, Ji Cen and Jiang Chun were very popular at the time, and news about them was flying everywhere, so Xia Mian didn't keep it a secret either.
[Back to filming? Is Legend of the Condor Heroes getting a remake?]
I absolutely love my brother's portrayal of Mo Yu. I was so sad when I heard filming was suspended, this is truly the best news I've heard recently!
[Won't it take Mianmian a long time to finish filming?]
“Hmm,” Xia Mian replied, picking at the question, “at least two months. But there’s the Spring Festival holiday in between, so if I’m not busy, I can do a live stream.”
Cotton: [Will you miss us?]
Xia Mian knew what they were worried about: "Besides live streaming, we also have Weibo. I won't become a missing person. I promise to update my status regularly."
That's fine. Every second without seeing Mianmian is incredibly agonizing!
Although he doesn't dance, Xia Mian still chose to livestream from the gym to protect his privacy—mainly Zhou Pingchuan's privacy. He sat cross-legged on the floor, opened his music app, and continued to interact with his fans while browsing playlists.
The gym was on the basement level, four floors away from the study. He was sitting far from the door and couldn't hear the sounds from the corridor, so he naturally didn't notice the approaching sound of the stag cane.
Overjoyed to receive their idol's assurance, the fans started joking again: "Oh dear, I suddenly remembered, what will happen to Z-Dragon if Mianmian doesn't stream? Will he have anywhere to spend his money?"
Will Mianmian miss Z-sensei?
Xia Mian always remembered the phrase "shyly agreeing," and answered without hesitation, "Yes."
Wow, that was a quick answer! It must be genuine! "ZM" fans are ecstatic: [So you really like Z, right? Admit it! Admit it! Admit it!]
In the live stream, Zhou Pingchuan was just a symbol, and Xia Mian felt no pressure: "Of course I like him!"
Who would turn down money?
【kswlkswl I knew ZM was right!】
What good would it do you to make me sick with sweetness?!
Why hasn't Z made a statement yet? Has he gone to ask the platform to adjust the spending limit?
Please consider Jay Chou's situation. He'd be crawling in the dark all night if he heard this! [winking emoji]
The entire Longxi No. 1 building must be envious.
[ZM is so adorable, I really can't resist shipping them!]
Xia Mian silently watched the fans make pairings and guesses. As the only person in the know, he knew that Zhou Pingchuan would not feel any jealousy.
Jealousy in relationships is often based on liking someone, and moreover, Zhou Pingchuan is one of the main characters!
Just then, Zhou Pingchuan walked to the door and, upon hearing the boy's voice, tightened his grip on the doorknob.
Xia Mian could say she loved any fictional character, but with him, it was "having feelings for him," "letting go," and a clear "dislike for him."
To ensure heating, Longxi installed three sets of underfloor heating pipes, but Zhou Pingchuan felt that the metal door handles were particularly cold, chilling to the bone.
It was so cold that he felt an urge to crush it with all his might.
He thought it, and he did it; he forcefully opened the door and strode into the gym.
That night in Nangang, Xia Mian's memory only went back to before she started drinking. She couldn't remember how she jumped into the pool or how she got back to her bedroom; it was a blackout.
He had no recollection of what Zhou Pingchuan had done to him, so when he saw the man rapidly approaching in the footage, Xia Mian was in a good mood and even wanted to greet Zhou Pingchuan.
As soon as he turned around, his lower body suddenly found itself suspended in mid-air.
With a dizzying spin, he was lifted up by Zhou Pingchuan and placed on the large speaker on the side. The microphone hit the ground with a sharp "thud".
Still not satisfied, Zhou Pingchuan forcefully squeezed between his legs. Mike was kicked twice by the tip of his leather shoe, "Sizzle—" "Sizzle—"
Hearing the noise, Xia Mian finally realized what had happened, but by then he was completely sealed off, unable to go down or move.
He didn't dare to speak, afraid that the audience would hear him, so he could only point to the phone on the tripod to tell Zhou Pingchuan that he was still live streaming.
However, Zhou Pingchuan seized the opportunity to grab him.
Their palms met, their fingers slipped between each other, intertwining mercilessly, their ten fingers tightly clasped together.
With her other hand, she dropped the cane, grabbed the back of his head, and kissed him directly.
