"Xing Xing, eat slowly. It's all yours. No one's fighting with you."
In the morning, at the dining table, Qi Yuji looked at her brother who was wolfing down the food and reminded him with heartache.
"It's okay." Qi Xingchen stuffed two shrimp dumplings made by Qi Yuji into his mouth and praised, "It's delicious!"
Qi Yunxiao couldn't stand it anymore. He frowned and said in a low voice, "Xing Xing, you don't have to force yourself to eat. It's okay."
"Who said I can't eat? I can eat a lot!! "Qi Xingchen took one chopstick after another and ate happily. It didn't seem like he was forcing himself to eat.
Qi Yunxiao and Qi Xiaoming looked at each other, confused.
For two days in a row, their little Xing Xing was full of energy and enjoyed everything he ate. He even ate Qi Yuji's dishes with relish.
Was little Xing Xing possessed by something?
Or had he been poisoned by his sister?
But other than that, everything else was normal. He even looked more lovable because he smiled all day.
It was really strange.
His brother and father couldn't figure out the reason, but Qi Xingchen knew it very well.
He was Bai Ye's special attention.
There was the word "special" in "special attention".
To round it up, he was … special to Bai Ye.
He was in such a good mood that he was about to fly into the sky and walk side by side with the sun. After breakfast, he took a 20-minute walk and finally calmed down. Old Qin drove him to Nuoya Entertainment.
He remembered the first day he came to Nuoya. He looked at the photos of his company's artists on the wall of honor and felt that it was surreal.
And now, his photo was among them.
Qi Xingchen opened his palm and measured the distance between him and Bai Ye with his fingers.
One palm, two palms, three palms … He was in the fourth row from the bottom, and Bai Ye was at the top.
They were three palms apart.
He would work hard to climb up.
He wanted to be closer to Bai Ye.
"Xing Xing," An Ran held a thick stack of documents and stood on tiptoe at the end of the corridor, calling him. "Come on, let's go into the conference room."
"Okay." Qi Xingchen looked at Bai Ye's photo again.
Stepping into the conference room, other than An Ran, there were two other employees. An Ran introduced them one by one. "This is the publicity agent, and this is the business manager."
The publicity agent was mainly responsible for public relations and publicity planning; the commercial agent was responsible for commercial performances, branding, endorsements, and so on; An Ran was the executive agent, responsible for leading Qi Xingchen to announcements, negotiations for film, TV series, and variety show resources.
From the Buick minivan to the luxury RV, from An Ran and Old Qin to the current five-person team, it could be said that at this moment, Qi Xingchen's team was finally complete.
An Ran poured a glass of water for Qi Xingchen. Although she was now the leader of the team, she still had the habit of taking care of Qi Xingchen.
She didn't trust others to take care of him.
She took out the plan that they had discussed in the past two days and briefly talked about it. After listening, Qi Xingchen said, "There's no need to set a character. I'll face my fans as I should."
An Ran: "… Okay, I'll listen to you. Then you take these two books. "
Scripts?
Qi Xingchen took the portfolio that An Ran pushed over.
Opening it, there were two scripts inside.
"One is the second male lead in an international drama, and the other is the first male lead in an online drama." An Ran paused. "I selected them from four invitations. The plot and the team are good. Go back and take a look … If you're energetic, the two dramas will start filming a month apart. You can prepare for them at the same time. "
The entertainment industry was a bowl of youth. Other than a few actors who stayed young, there were many actors who took advantage of the popularity to quickly become popular.
Qi Xingchen said, "I don't know how to act, and I don't have the capital to do so. I'll tell you after I'm done."
“OK。”
.
Qi Xingchen got out of the car with the scripts. Before he entered the house, Liang Jing, who had finally found some time, dragged him directly to the Liang family's racetrack.
The Liang family's racetrack was adjacent to the Liang family's golf course. They were both in the suburbs of H City, about 50 minutes away. Not long after the car left, Qi Xingchen fell asleep unknowingly until he heard someone whispering in his ear, "Xing Xing, wake up."
"… Okay." He rubbed his eyes and straightened up. Something slipped off his body.
He looked down and saw that it was a jacket. He bent over and picked it up. "Sorry, I dirtied it."
"It's okay," Liang Jing said, "I prepared it for you."
With that, Liang Jing got out of the car first. Qi Xingchen saw him walking to the passenger seat, so he quickly opened the door and jumped out.
He didn't have the habit of waiting for others to open the door for him.
Liang Jing stood still for two seconds, then turned around and opened the trunk. He took out two sets of clothes, two pairs of riding boots, and a helmet. "I just came out of the hospital, so I didn't have time to carefully choose the style. I hope you don't mind."
Qi Xingchen didn't know how to ride a horse at all. If Liang Jing hadn't said so, he would have worn his own clothes.
"Of course I don't mind, thank you." He looked around. "Is there a place to change?"
"There's a changing room in the racetrack. Follow me."
The Liang family's racetrack had a membership system and was mainly open to the upper class of society. However, there wasn't a single person or horse on the lawn. Qi Xingchen and Liang Jing walked side by side and were about to ask.
The racetrack manager drove the patrol car and stopped in front of them. "Young Master, Second Young Master Qi."
"Yes." Liang Jing nodded. "Have you announced the closure notice?"
"It's done as you instructed."
"Okay, get the horse trainer to bring the horse in."
The horse was in the truck behind, and the manager followed his orders. Qi Xingchen asked curiously, "Why is it closed today?"
"… Because you're here. You're a public figure. It'll be bad for you if someone takes a picture of you and spreads it," Liang Jing said helplessly. "Idiot."
Qi Xingchen: "… Oh."
After changing, Qi Xingchen started to act silly again.
"Hey, this set of clothes suits my figure."
"We grew up together. I know all the sizes of your clothes and shoes at every age." Liang Jing knocked on his helmet. "Okay, let's warm up."
Qi Xingchen was flustered by his words. He shut his mouth and stretched while listening to Liang Jing talk about things to take note of. For example, what to do if the horse was frightened and suddenly went crazy, what to do if he accidentally fell from the horse's back, what position to take to protect himself, and so on.
He memorized it carefully and then put it into practice.
In the past few days, the Qi family's breeders had equipped the horse with a full set of saddles, reins, and pedals. The horseshoes had also been remade. Looking at the Ferghana horse that was brighter than when Qi Jiaze had first brought it here, Qi Xingchen felt excited for no reason. He turned his head and said, "I kind of forgot how to get on the horse."
He couldn't say that he didn't know how to get on the horse, so he could only use the excuse of forgetting.
"Don't worry." Liang Jing looked at his anxious expression and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Come, put your hand on the side of its neck."
Qi Xingchen followed Liang Jing's instructions and put his hand on the side of the horse's neck.
"Can you feel its temperature and pulse?"
Qi Xingchen widened his eyes slightly. "Yes."
"It's a fresh life. It's your friend." Liang Jing put his hand on the back of his hand. "Feel its emotions carefully."
Qi Xingchen's arm stiffened when he felt a warm touch on the back of his hand. He calmly withdrew his hand.
Liang Jing paused and continued, "If it shows signs of irritation, you need to immediately check its physical condition and feeding. It might be sick or eat food that doesn't match its usual diet. It's more gentle now. You can try to build a relationship with it. "
"Okay, how do I do it?"
"Let it …"
Liang Jing patiently guided, and Qi Xingchen studied seriously. An hour passed unknowingly. The horse and Qi Xingchen were much more familiar with each other.
"Next, you can try to get on the horse," Liang Jing said. "Stand beside the horse's left shoulder, grab the reins and the horse's mane … Yes, hold the stirrup with your right hand and lift your left foot …"
Seeing that Qi Xingchen was a little hesitant, Liang Jing subconsciously wanted to give him a hand and took a step forward.
Just as he was about to touch the horse, Qi Xingchen flipped over and got on the horse. His movements were neat and without any hesitation, as if he was avoiding a flood or a fierce beast!
Liang Jing's eyes became darker and darker.
Learning how to get on a horse made riding much easier. Liang Jing held the reins and guided the horse forward slowly. He let Qi Xingchen get used to the feeling of being on the horse and taught him how to use the reins and his body to control the direction and speed.
Qi Xingchen tried one by one, and when he was almost done, he said excitedly, "I'll try it myself."
Liang Jing let go of the reins.
Qi Xingchen clamped the horse's belly with his legs. The horse neighed and galloped forward.
Liang Jing's hands were empty. When he let go of the reins, it was as if he let go of something important.
.
It was not appropriate to ride a horse for the first time. Liang Jing got on his own horse and followed him for a few laps. Then, the two of them slowed down and walked slowly towards the changing room under the afterglow of the setting sun.
"How was it? Did you have fun today?" Liang Jing asked.
"Yes!" Qi Xingchen had not had such a good time in a long time. He smiled and nodded.
"The racecourse is not open to the public these few days. You can come over anytime. Call me before you come. I'll arrange work to accompany you. "
"… No, no!" Qi Xingchen did not want to trouble him so much. He quickly refused. "Once is enough for me. Besides, I have to go back to work the day after tomorrow."
Liang Jing was stunned. "I heard from Sister Yuji that you have almost ten days of vacation this time. Why are you leaving so early?"
Qi Xingchen had planned to go back after the vacation, but …
It was just that he missed Bai Ye more than a little Bai Ye.
"My friend is alone in S City." Qi Xingchen lowered his voice. "I'm afraid that he'll be bored, so I'll go back to accompany him."
What a good friend to make Little Xing Xing so worried … Liang Jing nodded and did not say anything.
Soon, they arrived at the changing room. Qi Xingchen took out his phone, adjusted the angle, and took a half-body selfie.
He changed back into his own clothes and took a ride home with Liang Jing. Qi Xingchen went to the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out, he did not even dry his hair. He took out his phone, and his fingers quickly moved up and down.
Xing Xing: [I'm going home.]
He had originally typed "!" at the end of the sentence. But then he deleted it. The tone of this statement sounded more like a notice.
It was not a rush to report to someone.
Bo: [Yes. What did the company say?]
Xing Xing: [They said that my next job is to focus on acting. I won't take on variety shows for now.]
Bo: [The company did the right thing. What you need now is a good work to stabilize your popularity.]
Without any work, popularity was too low. Fans would easily run away. Qi Xingchen knew this and continued to type: [So An Ran gave me two scripts.]
Bo: [Movie or TV series.]
Bo: [What genre?]
Xing Xing: [TV series. One is a web series with a more realistic theme. The male lead. The other is a workplace drama in Star City. The second male lead.]
Bai Ye was probably thinking about it. After a while, he replied: [Which one do you prefer?]
Qi Xingchen wanted to tell him his thoughts, but before he said it, he suddenly thought of something: [I haven't thought about it yet. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to reply. When I go back the day after tomorrow, you can help me analyze it, okay?]
This way, he would have an excuse to look for Bai Ye. He could not help but praise himself. Qi Xingchen, Qi Xingchen, you're really smart!
Who would have thought that Bai Ye would see through his thoughts at a glance?
If he needed his help to analyze which script to choose, what was the point of having an economics team?!
However, Bai Ye did not expose him. He replied indulgently: [Okay, let's study it together.]
Xing Xing: [Hehe.]
Xing Xing: [Then it's a deal!]
Bo: [Yes, it's a deal. How are you coming back the day after tomorrow? Are you driving?]
Xing Xing: [Plane. The driver has something going on at home. He'll drive the minivan two days later to meet me.]
In fact, he had given Old Qin nine days off. In the end, he changed it at the last minute and did not want to interrupt Old Qin's vacation.
Bo: [Be careful.]
Xing Xing: [Don't worry.]
Qi Xingchen smiled for a while and then typed: [Oh right, I went to learn how to ride a horse in the afternoon!]
Bo: [You learned?]
Xing Xing: [Pretty much.]
Xing Xing: [Let me show you.]
He chose the photo in front of the changing room and sent it.
A second later, the young man's smiling face appeared on Bai Ye's screen.
Bai Ye subconsciously clicked on it and zoomed in. The young man was wearing a light green narrow-sleeved shirt, black pants, and riding boots that outlined his long and straight legs.
The anti-fall helmet made his face look smaller and more delicate. His head was slightly tilted, and his eyes were curved. Under the red sunset, his smile was bright and warm.
Looking at the young man, Bai Ye's eyes gradually softened. Then, he looked down to observe the body condition of the ferghana horse.
However, at the bottom left corner of the photo, he saw a man's face unintentionally.
The man looked gentle and handsome, and he was wearing thin-rimmed glasses. Bai Ye suddenly remembered that this was the young man's childhood friend!
Some time ago, he came to S City to look for the young man.
At that time, he put his arm around the young man's shoulder. His action was so natural, as if he had done it thousands of times.
An indescribable feeling rose from the bottom of his heart. The smile on Bai Ye's lips faded instantly.
After a while, he said: [What time do you land the day after tomorrow? I'll pick you up.]
