The words of the CP fans were like a spell that kept drilling into Qi Xingchen's mind. The more Qi Xingchen read, the redder his face became. The more he read, the more dizzy he became …
Suddenly, the screen of the variety show changed to the caller ID. There were two big words on it: Qi Yunxiao.
Qi Xingchen: "!!!"
Was his big brother coming to take him home?
Qi Xingchen instantly woke up. He rubbed his face and answered the call. Qi Yunxiao's deep and magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I saw some bad comments on the Internet. Who's behind it?"
… Fortunately, he was not going to take him home.
Qi Yunxiao had always been reserved. The "bad comments" were probably because someone had seen him on Weibo. Qi Xingchen thought for a moment. "It should be a fan of one of the students."
"The variety show you're participating in now? It's produced by DongCheng TV, right? "Qi Yunxiao asked.
Qi Xingchen said, "Yes."
"Okay, I understand …"
Qi Yunxiao paused. "I saw your schedule. You don't have any filming these days. Why don't you go home?"
Qi Xingchen: "…"
He couldn't escape in the end.
"I want to learn and improve with the students. Either I'm not qualified to judge others." Qi Xingchen came up with the excuse he had prepared.
Qi Yunxiao was easily fooled by him and said, "Pay attention to the balance between work and rest. Your health is the most important. Let me know if you want to go home. I'll send someone to pick you up. "
"Got it. Thank you, brother. You, dad, and sister take care."
After hanging up the phone, Qi Xingchen felt warm in his heart. Qi Yunxiao called to ask after "My Time" just aired. It meant that even though he was busy every day, Qi Yunxiao had been taking time to pay attention to his situation.
In contrast, he was the one who lied and didn't go home. Qi Xingchen couldn't help but feel ashamed. He secretly decided that he would go back to see his father and brother next time he had a break.
Just then, the first episode finished airing. Qi Xingchen curiously opened Weibo to see how many people were scolding him. It was bad enough to alert his big brother.
He clicked on the hot search list … Damn, it was really bad!
As one of the top three variety shows in the country, "My Time" had to be on the hot search list. Apart from "My Time" which was on the hot search list, the popular student's name was also on the list.
One of the contestants with good looks was listed at number 12 on the hot search list. Below him were the words "Kevin B-Class" in big letters.
Qi Xingchen clicked on it. As expected, Kevin's fans had already been cursing on the streets for more than an hour.
Some fans of 'Time' also felt that there was something wrong with his ratings. Their words weren't considered scolding, but they didn't sound good.
Perhaps they were afraid that passersby would be influenced by Kevin's fans, so Xing Guang's anti-defamation team went all out to control the comments. Under every marketing account's Weibo, one could almost see Xing Guang's popular science and explanations, as well as screenshots of his densely packed notebooks, to show that he had reason and evidence, and that he was not blindly commenting with his eyes closed.
Unfortunately, compared to the discussion of "My Time", Xing Guang's influence was negligible, and the comments scolding him continued to appear.
However, it could be seen that Qi Yunxiao had probably made a move at this time. No matter how much the popularity increased, the position of this trending topic remained the same. It even showed signs of decreasing.
Qi Xingchen's heart ached for Xing Guang. He didn't want them to continue controlling the comments and wanted to divert their attention elsewhere.
He got up from the bed, found his phone holder and headphones, sat in front of the table, and opened the live streaming app.
A live broadcast notification was posted on Weibo, and within five minutes, hundreds of thousands of fans flooded into the live broadcast room.
[I've lived for a long time. My child actually thought of live-streaming?]
[Grandma, the idol you're chasing is live-streaming. You can rest in peace now!]
[F * ck, f * ck, f * ck, the baby's bare face is so good at fighting!]
[F * ck, this must be the legendary face of first love. Ahhh, I have my first love again!]
Qi Xingchen couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the endless stream of praises. "Stop bragging. If you keep bragging, I'll fly away."
[It's okay. Xing Xing flies bravely. Xing Guang will always be with you!]
Qi Xingchen: "Pfft!"
This batch of fans was quite naughty. Qi Xingchen couldn't win against them at all. After chatting for a while, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room exceeded 500,000. Qi Xingchen didn't forget the purpose of live-streaming. He told everyone to watch the variety show rationally and not let it affect their lives.
He couldn't mention anything related to Kevin. He didn't want people with ulterior motives to overinterpret it. Fortunately, Xing Guang's fans were very smart. They immediately understood what he meant and commented:
[We'll do our best. We'll explain as much as we can. Thank you for your concern.]
[QAQ, I have a guess. Brother didn't live-stream just to say this, did he?]
[Sob, sob, sob, sob, you're so heartwarming. Today is also the day that Mommy is willing to shed blood for you.]
[Both times, Little Seven's live broadcast happened. I must be the chosen one. Speaking of which, Brother Ye came to give me a gift last time. Can we catch a wild Brother Ye this time?]
At the mention of Bai Ye, the CP fans' words instantly flashed across their minds. Qi Xingchen quickly put his hands on his cheeks to hide his reddened cheeks.
"Ding dong — Ding dong —"
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Qi Xingchen said, "Everyone, wait a moment. I'll go see who it is."
After that, he took off his headphones and ran to open the door.
Bai Ye stood at the door and shook the milk bottle in his hand. "Can I come in?"
Xing Guang's fans in the live broadcast room: [… What the f * ck? Sister, has your mouth been blessed?]
[Yes!!! Yes!!!]
.
The table where the phone stand was placed was facing the door. The moment he saw Bai Ye, Qi Xingchen knew that he had failed for the second time in his life.
He braced himself and said, "… Erm, I'm in the middle of a live broadcast."
"Is that so?" Bai Ye did not mind. "Am I disturbing you?"
"Not at all …" Qi Xingchen turned sideways. "Come in."
Bai Ye shoved the milk into Qi Xingchen's hands. He entered the room and scanned the room in a gentlemanly manner. After making sure that there were no personal items that he shouldn't see, he naturally sat down on another stool in front of the table.
Qi Xingchen returned to his seat. In just two or three minutes, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room had increased by 200,000, and it was still increasing. Ye Sky must have heard the news and was rushing over.
The messages were so fast that it was almost impossible to see the afterimages.
[Ye Sky borrowed your precious place. Thank you, Xing Guang's sister!]
[Who would have thought that my hubby's first broadcast in 2020 would be in Little Seven's room …]
[Why do I smell a trace of heartache from the last sentence? (laughing and crying) (laughing and crying) (laughing and crying) (laughing and crying)?
[F * ck this Last Night Stars CP fan is going to explode and spiral into the sky!! Brother Ye's words are so sweet ahhhhhhh, and the milk. I'm going to die from sweetness ahhhhh!!!]
When Qi Xingchen saw the last comment from the CP fan, he almost dropped the milk bottle in his hand. He observed Bai Ye carefully and was relieved when he realized that Bai Ye should not be able to see the screen from his angle.
[Brother Ye, our humble Ye Sky would like to hear Brother Ye's voice. Can you let him say something?]
In order to satisfy Ye Sky's request and to ease the awkwardness, Qi Xingchen turned his head and begged, "Brother Ye, please say hello to my fans in the live broadcast room."
"Hi, I'm Bai Ye." Bai Ye agreed to all requests.
Qi Xingchen was speechless.
[Brother Ye, our humble Ye Sky would like to see Brother Ye's face.]
This time, without waiting for Qi Xingchen to speak, Bai Ye dragged a stool and sat directly next to Qi Xingchen.
The phone screen was narrow. Perhaps he was afraid that his entire face could not be seen, so Bai Ye sat very close to Qi Xingchen.
They were so close that their sleeves rubbed against each other and they could clearly feel each other's heat. Qi Xingchen rubbed the tip of his nose and suddenly realized that the other party's scent was somewhat familiar.
He was worried that there was no topic to talk about, so he asked, "Brother Ye, when did you come back?"
Bai Ye: "I just arrived at the hotel."
[Oh my! You're here to deliver milk as soon as you return to the hotel?]
Bai Ye: "Yes, I was afraid that it would be inconvenient for him to sleep later."
The comments were instantly filled with "Oh, oh, oh, oh". Qi Xingchen could not continue like this, so he quickly changed the topic. "Brother Ye, what perfume are you using? I feel like I've smelled it before."
"You must have smelled it before." Bai Ye smiled. "Today, the stylist gave me the Sea Demon."
[Sea Demon? Why haven't I heard of it? Which company is it from?]
[F * ck, it's actually Sea Demon, WSL! WSL!]
[Replying to Ye Sky JJ, Sea Demon is a new summer product of Après, endorsed by Xing Xing.]
["I have your scent on me." You two are going to kill me! Ahhhhh!]
Bai Ye used … the perfume he endorsed.
Qi Xingchen was not in the mood to read what the fans were saying. His heart was trembling. He did not want to screw up even more, so he hurriedly turned off the livestream with the excuse that he wanted to discuss with Bai Ye.
The phone screen turned black. Bai Ye thought that he had disturbed him, so he said apologetically, "Sorry, I should have asked you before I came."
"No, it's okay. I didn't plan to livestream for long anyway." Qi Xingchen put away the stand and spoke incoherently.
It was almost twelve o 'clock, so Bai Ye did not want to disturb his sleep. "Then I'll go first. Rest early. By the way, don't look at those useless comments on Weibo. You did a great job with Kevin's comments. "
"… Yes, I'll continue to work hard."
.
After sending Bai Ye to the opposite room, Qi Xingchen washed up and lay on the bed. His soul that had run away from home finally returned to his body.
After turning off the lights, he realized that Bai Ye came to find him to say those words before he left.
He was afraid that he would be sad because of public opinion, so he came over after work to give him milk, comfort him, and praise him.
Qi Xingchen felt as light as a feather. Even when he slept, it was as if he was lying on clouds.
The next day, he was woken up by a phone call from the hotel.
He thought it was a moring call, but he looked at the time. It was half past ten in the morning. He picked up the phone in confusion.
"Hello, Mr. Qi. I'm the hotel manager, Nini. There's a Mr. Liang at the front desk looking for you. Is it convenient for you to come down? "
Liang? Could he be an illegitimate fan or something? Qi Xingchen was confused for a moment. He was afraid that something might really happen, so he climbed out of bed and put on his clothes, brushed his teeth, and washed his face.
He went out and got into the elevator. He brushed the hair on his head. Three minutes later, he reached the first floor. He was stunned when he saw the man sitting on the sofa in the lobby.
… The Mr. Liang at the front desk was actually the original owner's childhood friend, Liang Jing!
Qi Xingchen had refused all gatherings related to the Liang family to avoid awkwardness after giving him the "luminous object" last time. They hadn't seen each other for almost a month and a half.
Qi Xingchen didn't expect that Liang Jing would come to S City. He couldn't find a reason to avoid him, so he slowly moved to the sofa and pretended to be surprised.
"Why are you here?"
Liang Jing raised his head. "I'm on a business trip, so I stopped by to see you."
So he was on a business trip. Qi Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief.
Since she was here for him, he couldn't just chase her away. Qi Xingchen politely said, "Then wait for me for a few minutes. I'll go back and get my car keys.
"No need." Liang Jing got up. "I'm driving. Follow me."
Then he walked toward the parking lot. Qi Xingchen had no choice but to follow him and get into the car.
It was lunchtime. Qi Xingchen was afraid that he would be targeted by the paparazzi if he went too far, so he chose a nearby restaurant to treat Liang Jing to lunch.
Liang Jing didn't have any objections. Qi Xingchen asked about Liang Jing's recent situation to show his concern.
"The results of the last project were good. I don't care if I go back to Switzerland," Liang Jing said. "So my mentor decided to let me stay in China with his project. I won't be leaving anytime soon."
If he didn't leave anytime soon, it meant that they would have a chance to meet in the future. Qi Xingchen asked tentatively, "Which stage is the mentor's project at?"
"Clinical stage. Jing 'an Hospital."
Jing 'an Hospital … Wasn't that the hospital where Tao Tao's brother, Tao Xuan, was staying?!
An ominous feeling welled up in Qi Xingchen's heart.
Maybe it was because he had been too happy recently that he almost forgot that he was still in the plot line of "Peaches of the Night." According to the progress, it wouldn't be long before Liang Jing met Tao Tao through Tao Xuan's treatment and fell in love with Tao Tao at first sight.
Then, to save Tao Xuan, he donated his left kidney. After the confession failed, he was too sad and died alone in the cold hospital room!
Qi Xingchen's heart suddenly tightened. After all, this was the person that the original Qi Xingchen liked. Even if he didn't have any feelings for him, he couldn't just watch Liang Jing give up his heart and kidney for Tao Tao and end up in such a miserable state.
In the current situation, he had to figure out his relationship with Liang Jing first before considering the next step of the plan.
He thought quickly and said, "Liang Jing, I've thought it through."
Liang Jing's hand paused.
"Feelings can't be forced, so I've decided to let go of this relationship and be friends with you again."
Liang Jing picked up a piece of fish, picked out the bones, and threw it into Liang Jing's bowl.
Seeing that he was silent, Qi Xingchen gritted his teeth and asked, "I don't want to lose this friendship. Let's pretend that the confession never happened. I'm still your best friend, okay?"
'… Okay?'
For some reason, Liang Jing didn't want to answer this question.
Before he went abroad, he had always regarded Qi Xingchen as his younger brother and best friend. The two of them were so close that they could share everything.
Then, Qi Xingchen suddenly confessed to him. Frankly speaking, he was terrified at that moment. He knew clearly that he didn't like Qi Xingchen, only friendship.
So, after rejecting Qi Xingchen, he chose to take on the Swiss project and left the country quickly to give himself and Liang Jing a transition period.
But when he returned to China, Xing Xing seemed to have changed.
He had become … shinier and brighter.
Especially in the variety show yesterday, when Xing Xing Xing reprimanded the students with a cold face and danced with the students, his eyes shone brightly.
That was something that Qi Xingchen didn't have in the past.
Because of this, he didn't sleep the whole night. Like a crazy fan, he watched all of Qi Xingchen's variety shows and commercials.
This morning, he couldn't resist the urge and drove three hours to get here.
Liang Jing slowly picked up another piece of fish and carefully picked out the bones. Five minutes later, when he put the fish into Qi Xingchen's bowl —
Liang Jing was still looking at him with pursed lips. His gaze was firm and unwavering.
He had to get an answer from him.
After a while, Liang Jing nodded and chuckled.
"Okay."
