Chapter 170 Starting Over
(Chapter 169: The situation is as described in the author's words)
After finishing his meal, Zhou Pingchuan wasn't in a hurry. He glanced at the boy sitting on the edge of the bed, his face flushed and lost in thought, then picked up his cane and slowly got up.
The boy was still lost in thought. I instinctively wanted to help him, but quickly withdrew my hand. Someone that arrogant would definitely disdain anyone's help.
To cover up her earlier actions, Xia Mian asked, "Where are you going?"
The voice had a sticky, cloying quality, similar to the feeling in Zhou Pingchuan's throat.
"brush teeth."
"Oh..." Seeing Zhou Pingchuan's slightly reddened lips, Xia Mian regained a bit of her conscience after a long time. "That...it's quite dirty...you don't need to..."
Zhou Pingchuan shrugged: "I didn't expect you to be so fast. It's too late."
"?"
"??"
"???"
Xia Mian felt she had suffered the greatest insult of her life and rolled up her sleeves, intending to have a serious talk with the other party. But as soon as she stepped down, her legs gave way, and she collapsed to her knees on the carpet with a "thud," inexplicably offering Zhou Pingchuan an early New Year's greeting.
Fortunately, Zhou Pingchuan hadn't left. He put his hands under Zhou's armpits, pulled him up, and put him back on the bed. He accepted the bow calmly.
Xia Mian closed her eyes.
It's okay, life is short, it will pass quickly.
……Hold!
While taking a shower, Xia Mian thought that Zhou Pingchuan had served her today, and for free, so it was worth exchanging his forgiveness for something of equal value.
After leaving the bathroom and lying on the bed, he lost his energy but didn't say anything, just like a heartless scumbag who dumps his girlfriend without a second thought.
Zhou Pingchuan smiled and asked, "Are we having curry beef rice again tomorrow morning?"
Xia Mian wasn't stupid. Zhou Pingchuan had a habit of stalking him in his live streams. Based on Xia Mian's previous behavior, he guessed something: "The purpose of public figures is to entertain the public. Don't be so petty, have some sense of humor."
Look, she was screaming and begging him to come over, and now she's complaining that he's stingy. Even a scumbag wouldn't be this scumbag. Zhou Pingchuan pulled the man over to his side and forced him to turn around and face him: "I don't know if he's stingy or not, but I do know that there's a saying that netizens are very true."
Which sentence?
"You enjoyed it."
Xia Mian: "...I didn't enjoy it."
"You really didn't enjoy it?"
"real."
“Okay,” Zhou Pingchuan lowered his head and whispered in his ear, “Then remember to last longer next time.”
***
I don't know if it was because I had released my desires yesterday and felt refreshed, or because I hadn't worked for a long time and was looking forward to it, or because I was angry with Zhou Pingchuan, but in any case, Xia Mian did not sleep in as usual and jumped out of bed a little after seven o'clock.
After tidying up and having breakfast, the nanny van was already waiting in front of the door. Xia Mian opened the car door, and Chestnut and Big Yellow were each holding a bento box that Uncle Li had brought, and were wolfing it down.
Upon seeing him, Da Huang immediately dropped his lunchbox and pounced on him, exclaiming, "Aaaaaah, boss, I've finally seen you! I've missed you so much!!!"
Yesterday, while packing her luggage, Chestnut met with Xia Mian, and unlike Da Huang, who hadn't seen her for a long time, she wasn't as excited. But there were still tears welling up in her eyes: "Da Huang, get away from me! You've got breadcrumbs all over Xia Mian... Xia Mian, did you put your toiletries in your suitcase?"
Everyone complains about being tired at work and is extremely unwilling to go to work. But when the future is uncertain, everyone feels genuinely panicked.
After all, full-time children are a minority, and most people have to work to make a living. If they can find a good boss, find happiness in their work, and realize their own life value along the way, they will certainly be more motivated!
Xia Mian was also a little excited. She told Li Zi not to worry, as she had already put it away, and then raised her fist to exchange fist bumps with the two of them.
After a period of confusion, the Xia Mian team is now fully prepared and ready to set off again toward their goal.
The three of them chattered incessantly the whole way. When they arrived at the airport and saw the scene in front of them, Xia Mian's eyes widened, and she seemed speechless.
"Is this... waiting for me?" he asked Chestnut, turning back to her.
"Of course! Look at the banner, it has your name on it."
Perhaps to maintain popularity, or perhaps to promote the relaunch of "Legend of the Dragon," Dongyu Entertainment released Xia Mian's airport itinerary.
Having not seen their idols in person for so long, the three fan clubs jointly organized a send-off event at the airport. The banners were one five-meter long and two three-meter long, and everyone held up a small fan in their hand. The fans who attended were enthusiastic and polite.
Everything was in good order, but the scale of the event was a bit too large, forcing the airport to increase security in the support area to prevent a stampede from happening due to the large number of onlookers.
Actually, the fan site admin didn't expect that the call for airport pickup would be so overwhelming, and even more unexpectedly, that all the fans who signed up would arrive at the Capital Airport as promised.
There were even people who missed the registration period and rushed over at the last minute... Although they weren't as flashy as Chang Yi, it was a world of difference compared to the first time when only a few people were there to pick them up at the airport.
"When did you arrive?" Xia Mian sniffed, feeling a little sore.
The fan club leader at the very front said, "Seven o'clock in the morning."
Actually, it started a little earlier than this. Finding a location, coordinating with airport staff, distributing support items... I was busy with all that, and now it's here.
"So early?" Xia Mian turned her head and whispered to Li Zi to go to the nearby McDonald's and buy some hot coffee or muffins for the fans. In the dead of winter, you can't go hungry.
"Pay attention to the weather on your way back. There's a heavy snow warning today. If you encounter any safety or traffic problems, just email Wei Ge. Got it?"
The three of them were on the plane, their phones had no internet, and when they encountered urgent problems, they could only ask their fans to contact their manager.
"Got it!"
The flight was waiting for no one, and more and more passengers gathered around. Xia Mian was afraid of causing any unforeseen complications, so she first called Wei Ge to give him instructions, then waved to everyone and continued walking towards the security checkpoint.
Since they had finally managed to come in person, the fans naturally wanted to see their idol as much as possible, so they followed him from a distance.
Of course, there were also some bold ones. One of them was a young girl with a round face who ran right up to him and said, "Mianmian, I have a gift for you!"
The bodyguards immediately went on alert, asking her to stand further away. Xia Mian gestured to the bodyguards not to be nervous, and said regretfully, "No, the company doesn't allow me to accept gifts from fans."
If celebrities accept gifts from fans, it's easy for them to borrow money to buy luxury goods, or even steal money from their parents or embezzle public funds. It's also not safe; there have been cases in the past where trolls poisoned celebrities under the guise of sending drinks.
Fan: "It's not expensive, it's a photo album I made myself. I collected photos for a long time, and it took me several days and nights to make it."
Not valuable? This is practically priceless!
Xia Mian felt sorry for his fans, and he also really wanted one. He glanced at the bodyguard group and deliberately slowed down.
Before long, he fell to the back of the line.
"Give it to me." Xia Mian put her hands behind her back and whispered to her fans.
The round-faced fan understood and cleverly darted over, stuffing the photo album into Xia Mian's hands.
I was so excited about it that I immediately opened the package and flipped through a few pages. It's incredibly well-made; the care put into it is obvious.
But... why is Zhou Pingchuan in some of the photos?
Isn't she his fan?
Ignoring the obstructive Buddha statue, Xia Mian asked the girl, "Do you need an autograph?"
The girl was taken aback, not expecting him to offer an autograph. She nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, of course I want it!"
She opened her schoolbag and pulled out a notebook. Xia Mian asked again, "What's your name? What do you need me to write?"
The idol wants to sign an autograph for her! The girl is so excited that she turns into a groundhog on the spot: "My name is Tangyuan (glutinous rice ball), please write 'wishing me success in passing the exam,' thank you Mianmian, waaaaaah!"
sweet dumpling……?
Xia Mian suddenly remembered that he also knew a fan named Tangyuan, and he had asked Tangyuan for fanfiction back then.
Could these two be the same person?
Thinking of fanfiction, Xia Mian's mind flashed back to last night's one-sided hunt. He used to handle things on his own, but this was the first time someone had helped him, and he actually felt a sense of satisfaction.
Unfortunately, I'll be spending the rest of my time on set, so I'll have to stay undressed for a while.
Even if he went home, and Zhou Pingchuan made fun of him like that, he wouldn't let the other person touch him.
Maybe I should ask Tangyuan for a few more articles to quench my thirst; the night is so long, it's really hard to get through.
