Chapter 51

Qi Xiaoyu had by no means been so near anybody earlier than, so shut that he might rely what number of eyelashes Xun Qian had.

Nevertheless, such an in depth distance will not be annoying.

Xun Qian’s voice could be very nice, and the faint scent of cologne and Chinese language drugs on his physique can also be superb. Even the skinny smoke round him offers individuals an unreal and lovely feeling.

Qi Xiaoyu felt that his heartbeat was abnormally quick.

Xun Qian’s hair appeared to be brushing in opposition to his face, tickling him barely.

He wished to push the hair away, however he appeared to be caught there and forgot the right way to transfer.

Earlier than he might totally react, Xun Qian retreated and leaned again in his seat.

Xun Qian held the cigarette in his mouth and checked out him sideways. Then he smiled and held the cigarette between his fingers. “Have you ever discovered?”

The cigarette in Qi Xiaoyu’s mouth had burned down somewhat, however he fully forgot what Xun Qian had simply mentioned, so he instinctively took a puff and choked once more.

Qi Xiaoyu circled in embarrassment and held the lit cigarette in his hand. He felt that he was burning from his cheeks to his ears. It appeared that what Xun Qian lit was not the cigarette, however his complete physique.

He lined his mouth and coughed for some time, and it took him a very long time to get well. “I don’t wish to be taught anymore. It’s not good for my throat… Anyway, the photographs might be post-processed. For different issues… let’s wait till I play related roles.”

He didn’t even know why he adopted Xun Qian’s directions and lit the cigarette earlier.

Xun Qian put his hand on his again and patted him gently a couple of occasions, with a smile on his lips, “Yeah. It’s okay in the event you don’t know the right way to smoke.”

Qi Xiaoyu lined her mouth and turned her head to take a look at him.

Within the blended mild and darkish evening, Xun Qian’s attractiveness and gentleness made him really feel somewhat itchy.

It was like a small insect crawling softly on his coronary heart.

“Are you sleepy?” Xun Qian abruptly mentioned.

“Huh?” Qi Xiaoyu was surprised for a second earlier than replying, “I’m high-quality.”

Really, Qi Xiaoyu was high-quality at first, however after Xun Qian requested him, he actually felt considerably drowsy. After he got here again from New Zealand, he first went to the crew and filmed. As a result of he needed to go to a brand new movie crew to audition for an OST and a personality, he additionally spent his relaxation time studying the script and training singing.

Work got here one after one other, and he didn’t have a lot relaxation for a number of days. In the present day’s capturing was accomplished forward of schedule, but it surely was already previous one o’clock.

Perhaps it was as a result of he hadn’t rested for thus lengthy that he was mentally confused at present and had some unusual delusions.

“If you happen to really feel sleepy, take a nap. I’ll name you after we get dwelling.”

“Um.”

*****

The Maybach glides easily and evenly by the abandoned streets like an arrow on an early spring evening.

When Qi Xiaoyu awakened once more, there was a faint morning mild on the horizon.

He rubbed his eyes and abruptly awakened.

He initially simply wished to take a nap within the automotive, however why did he keep asleep for thus lengthy and even lean into Xun Qian’s arms?

He slowly supported his higher physique with the cushion. Xun Qian was nonetheless closing his eyes. His lengthy eyelashes had been distinct and lined his snow-white pores and skin. Within the dim morning mild, there have been solely black and white colours in sight.

The little black canine was sleeping on the opposite aspect of Xun Qian, mendacity on his again together with his paws within the air, his stomach rising and falling together with his respiration, and he was loud night breathing somewhat.

“Awake?”

Listening to the sound, Xun Qian opened his eyes, which had been additionally clear black and white.

“Sure.” Qi Xiaoyu wiped the corners of his mouth, questioning if he was drooling.

“Why didn’t you wake me up?”

“You received’t get up it doesn’t matter what.” Xun Qian’s expression was detached, however he might hear the teasing implication. He pointed to the little black canine beside him and mentioned, “You slept extra soundly than him.”

Qi Xiaoyu pursed his lips and stared on the sleeping little black canine.

After some time, he wrapped half of his physique round Xun Qian and prolonged his hand to pinch the raised paw of the White-browed Hero. “Little Chubby, get up,” he mentioned.

White-browed hero moved his paws, broke free from Qi Xiaoyu’s clutches, and went again to sleep.

Xun Qian smiled.

Qi Xiaoyu grabbed the white-browed hero’s different paw and squeezed it, “Little fats man, I’ll go away you alone within the automotive later.”

White-browed Hero continued to wrestle, however this time Qi Xiaoyu had a agency grip and prevented him from breaking away.

After struggling in useless for a couple of occasions, White-browed Hero lastly opened his spherical eyes, half-raised his head, checked out Qi Xiaoyu in confusion, after which set free an especially aggrieved howl.

It had a spherical stomach, and its eyes had been full of shock and pity, as if it had been bullied. This look made each Qi Xiaoyu and Xun Qian giggle.

After laughing, Qi Xiaoyu yawned, not having slept sufficient.

“Return to your room and sleep extra.”

“Sure.” Qi Xiaoyu opened the automotive door, shivered within the chilly morning wind, and shortly pushed Xun Qian again to the bed room with the butler.

It was simply 5 o’clock within the morning. Qi Xiaoyu yawned a number of occasions on the best way again to the room. White-browed Hero was additionally drowsy in his arms, his ears had been drooped, and his eyes had been narrowed into slits.

That they had slept within the automotive for about three hours or so, and the time when the solar was about to rise was the proper time to sleep.

Again within the room, Qi Xiaoyu helped Xun Qian to the mattress. The little black canine jumped from his arms to the mattress, then selected a snug place and laid down instantly.

Qi Xiaoyu clapped his arms and waved on the little black canine, “Comply with me again to the room.”

Unexpectedly, the little black canine not solely ignored him but additionally burrowed underneath the quilt and pointed its butt at Qi Xiaoyu, clearly recognizing that this was its territory and refusing to go away.

Qi Xiaoyu reached out and poked its delicate butt. “If you happen to don’t sleep with me at present, you received’t have the ability to see me for a very long time.”

The little black canine wagged its butt and didn’t transfer.

Qi Xiaoyu yawned and poked the canine’s butt once more. Seeing no response, he thought to himself, Neglect it. Let’s simply return on my own as an alternative of arguing with a canine.

He was about to show round when he abruptly heard Xun Qian, who was half mendacity down, say, “If you’re sleepy, don’t go downstairs. Simply sleep right here for some time.”

Qi Xiaoyu felt that his IQ was a bit off at present, probably resulting from lack of sleep, so he replied easily, “I haven’t taken a bathe.”

Xun Qian smiled and mentioned, “Let the housekeeper change the sheets tomorrow.”

Qi Xiaoyu truly didn’t object to the cruel phrases and as an alternative mentioned, “Oh,” subconsciously, “You then cowl the quilt. I’ll simply lie down.”

Xun Qian’s mattress was fairly large anyway, and it might be breakfast time in a couple of hours… He was too lazy to go downstairs to his room.

It’s unknown how lengthy he had slept, however when he awakened this time, it was shiny and clear.

The solar shines on the white gauze curtains, giving them a white sheen.

Qi Xiaoyu turned over and regarded to the aspect with squinted eyes. Xun Qian and White-browed Hero weren’t there. He was like a toddler mendacity in mattress, hugging the entire quilt by himself, and refusing to rise up.

However within the chilly spring climate, staying in mattress like that is too comfy.

Relaxed, glad, and lazy, he was washing away the fatigue of labor, like being trapped in a crystal dream.

It wasn’t till his cellphone rang and Li Kun requested him what time he would come to the set that he was introduced again to actuality from his lazy dream.

This time, he went to the set of a film referred to as “The Evil.”

Yu Xiaosheng talked about to him earlier than that Kang Qitao requested him to sing an ost for the film. Now that the film is about to be filmed, he requested him to audition.

He heard that there have been nonetheless one or two roles to be determined, one in all which was the little white dragon. Yu Xiaosheng mentioned that it suited him very properly and requested him to present it a attempt to win this function.

Selection exhibits can entice followers, however they can not solidify them.

If he desires to ascertain a agency foothold on this circle and go a good distance, he nonetheless must have consultant works that may stand out.

After Qi Xiaoyu answered the telephone, he instantly obtained up from the mattress, then went again to the room to take a bathe and alter garments.

Li Kun made an appointment with somebody at one o’clock within the afternoon, and it’s already previous ten o’clock. If he rushed over now, the time could be excellent.

He put his gloves into the sleeves of his woolen coat and walked downstairs. In the lounge, Xun Qian was utilizing a toy ball with a bell to play with White-browed Hero.

Xun Qian threw the ball, and the little black canine ran to select it up.

Xun Qian pretended to throw the ball out, and the little black canine ran to select it up, after which began spinning round in confusion, in search of the place the ball had gone, making the butler and servants in the lounge giggle.

This time, Xun Qian actually threw the ball.

The little black canine was midway chasing the ball. When he noticed Qi Xiaoyu coming down, he made a really troublesome alternative. He stopped speeding in the direction of the ball, turned sharply, carried out a drift on the spot, and adjusted his course in the direction of Qi Xiaoyu.

Qi Xiaoyu caught the canine and stroked its fur.

Xun Qian regarded up at him and mentioned, “You’re going out?”

Qi Xiaoyu was holding White-browed Hero with one hand and placing on his garments with issue with the opposite hand. “Sure. I’ve work within the afternoon.”

Xun Qian stopped speaking.

Mama Li interrupted in a low voice, “Are you leaving now? The meal will probably be prepared quickly.”

Qi Xiaoyu stretched his neck and glanced on the kitchen. “Are there any steamed buns? I can simply deliver one thing to eat on the best way.”

Mama Li and Butler Cheng each checked out Xun Qian, and the joyful ambiance in the lounge abruptly solidified.

Xun Qian suppressed the smile he had proven when he was taking part in with the little black canine, however didn’t present an sad expression. He first mentioned to Mamai, “Go and put together a lunchbox.”

Then he mentioned to Butler Cheng, “Let the driving force standby.”

Butler Cheng and Ma Li acted independently.

Qi Xiaoyu walked to Xun Qian with the little black canine in his arms and squatted down. “I’m going to audition for a film theme tune this time, and I’ll additionally audition for a film function. If I can get it, I’ll most likely have to remain on the set for over a month.”

Xun Qian mentioned nothing and confirmed no expression.

Qi Xiaoyu rubbed the furry chin of the little black canine a couple of occasions after which put the canine in Xun Qian’s arms. “Don’t make it fats once more. No model will search for it subsequent time for a photoshoot. It could possibly earn money now.”

“Sure.” Xun Qian took the canine and abruptly hooked his fingers on Qi Xiaoyu’s little finger.

Qi Xiaoyu was surprised for a second. Xun Qian’s fingers had been icy and slippery.

But it surely solely hooked for a second earlier than letting go. “Watch out.”

This time, it was Qi Xiaoyu who responded.

Then, Mama Li took two massive bins of packed lunches and adopted Qi Xiaoyu to ship him to the automotive.

Butler Cheng stood behind the wheelchair, displaying an expression of remorse and confusion. “You specifically requested individuals to purchase so many dishes, and they’re all Mr. Qi’s favorites. Why don’t you ask him to go away later? A film will not be that vital.”

Xun Qian clenched his hand right into a fist and pressed it to his lips, coughing intermittently for some time earlier than stopping. “But it surely’s vital to him.”

After some time, he mentioned, “Let Zhang Han make investments extra.”

*****

Qi Xiaoyu held the lunch field and watched the automotive drive out of the broad and abandoned fundamental highway of Xun’s home.

The Xun home behind him has been like a sanctuary for the reason that Chinese language New Yr—just like the theater troupe when his grasp and senior sister had been nonetheless there, permitting him to loosen up and immerse himself.

But it surely additionally made him uneasy.

He was afraid that he wouldn’t have the ability to get out if he stayed in it.

In any case, there’s by no means a real sanctuary on this world.

The hardest factor is emotion, and probably the most fragile factor is emotion.

It reminds him of that broad younger man who chased his elder sister for 4 or 5 years and the way deeply in love and sworn to start with, however ultimately, he brought about his elder sister to die in miscarriage, and he didn’t even give her a correct standing.

His profession has simply began, he has no property or home of his personal, and he nonetheless owes Xun Qian 20 million… Though Xun Qian didn’t point out it… all this makes him really feel anxious.

What’s extra, he has traveled right into a e book. This e book has its personal story and fundamental line. The protagonist of the story has not even appeared but…

Though he appeared to have modified the destiny of Qi Xiaoyu within the few months after he came to visit, who is aware of whether or not the destiny of different characters will change accordingly?

The photographer from yesterday flashed by his thoughts once more, and that particular person at all times made him really feel somewhat unusual.

Qi Xiaoyu introduced his distant ideas to the current. His scenario wasn’t too unhealthy for the time being.

He’s making an increasing number of cash now. Yu Xiaosheng informed him a couple of days in the past that the payment supplied to him for the third season of “Eat Gentle on the Highway” is 1 million per episode. If he can acquire the function of the little dragon in “The Evil,” the payment will probably be a number of million.

There are additionally a number of endorsement offers being mentioned…

If every little thing goes properly, it shouldn’t take lengthy earlier than he can earn the quantity he desires. Solely then will he have the opportunity to consider different issues with peace of thoughts and be extra able to altering his future.

*****

The crew of “The Evil” had a number of filming places. The display screen take a look at and singing auditions had been held in an workplace constructing in a artistic park within the metropolis middle.

Li Kun adopted him carrying his issues and mentioned to him, “I simply heard from Brother Yu that, midway by the method, somebody got here out to compete with you for the OST of this film. And guess who that particular person is?”

“who?”

This artistic park could be very creatively constructed. After getting out of the automotive, there isn’t a fundamental highway to enter. There are only some stone paths that result in the constructing.

Qi Xiaoyu was simply questioning who was going to compete with him for the highest spot when he noticed Jiang Sicheng… strolling fortunately from the stone highway subsequent to him.
