Heart has Ling XiCh2 - The Sinner

Brother Sunglasses had already removed his sunglasses to use the restroom, leaving only a huge disposable mask to cover the lower half of his face. Despite the fact that only the forehead, brows, and a pair of eyes were visible, Ling Xi, who was fond of reading entertainment gossip magazines, recognized the identity of Brother Sunglasses with a single glance—

Yo, isn’t this An Ruifeng? The currently popular idol actor who has been in the limelight for the past two years? WdFSyq

An Ruifeng’s facial features were clearly mixed-race, especially his dark gray eyes, which earned him many female fans’ hearts. Ling Xi had witnessed countless fights between his female supporters. All other celebrities’ fan battles were unanimously external. They clashed with supposed girlfriends and with shady paparazzi. An Ruifeng’s fans on the other hand, fought among themselves— A dull topic such as “An Ruifeng’s finest feature: his eyes or his lips?” could receive over 10,000 comments.

And now, those magnificent eyes looked at Ling Xi and Little Ling Xi in amazement. Ling Xi swore that he heard An Ruifeng gasp and then take a step back. He removed his sunglasses from his pocket and placed them on the bridge of his nose.

Ling Xi thought: It’s too late! Wearing sunglasses is pointless. I’ve already figured out who you are. When I return, I’ll login to my alternate account and report this latest news— ‘An Ruifeng disregards health in order to lose weight! Dark circles have reached the chin!’

Ling Xi was busy staring at An Ruifeng’s face intently. At this point, An Ruifeng’s agent, Brother Xu, rushed up and held him behind his back to protect him, saying politely with alienation: “Sorry, we didn’t realize the bathroom was occupied. You are free to continue using it. We will wait.” x3dCUz

“Oh…oh, it’s all right, it’s all right, I’ve finished anyway.” Ling Xi frantically pulled up his pants: “You use it, you use it.” Ling Xi quickly cleaned himself off and opened the toilet door. Brother Xu abruptly stopped him as he passed them.

“Please wait a moment.” Brother Xu probed: “I didn’t notice because of the poor lighting. Are you Ling Xi? The one who sang ‘Heart has Ling Xi’?”

Ling Xi was about to applaud him. Brother Xu’s full name was Xu Zhiqiang. He was a well-known gold medal agent in the circle with extensive expertise and insight. He’d already raised a movie emperor and two little huadan. He was sleek but not sophisticated. Look! On the entire plane, wasn’t it only Xu Zhiqiang who could name him?

… But Ling Xi wished Xu Zhiqiang hadn’t recognized him under such shameful circumstances.

“Yes.” Ling Xi replied dryly.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you. You are also joining the crew of ‘Jian Jue Tianxia’, right?” Xu Zhiqiang continued to exchange conventional greetings with him: “I heard the director mention that you had been invited to sing the end credits song, and you would also play one of the roles. Our Ruifeng makes a cameo appearance in the drama as the master of the male protagonist. We’ll be part of the same crew in the future. There will be opportunities for everyone to get together.” The big star’s agent was so good at talking that he rushed right to work without mentioning the awkward encounter, saving face for both parties.

“It turns out that you’re Ling Xi. It’s nice to meet you.” An Ruifeng nodded at him politely and even cracked a friendly joke: “Why are you so nervous? Oh, that’s right! I recall the cast saying that your guest role is the lead actor’s shidi. So, we have a sect fellowship—Disciple, you won’t fall into character and start to fear me now, will you?” An Ruifeng also extended his hand to him. D9Witq

Ling Xi stared at his palm, his face full of sweat, rubbed his right hand on the seam of his trousers a few times, and asked very carefully: “But Master, I didn’t wash my hands after pooping. Are you certain you want to shake my hand?”

Ling Xi returned dejectedly to his seat in the last row of economy class, sat down, and sighed.

Wu Youpeng was close to dozing off while waiting for him. He opened fire on Ling Xi as soon as he returned. “Where did you look for the restroom? Why did it take you a half-hour to return?”

Ling Xi explained, “The front and back facilities were full, so the attendant led me to the business class toilet.”

“Oh! That shouldn’t take so long.” Sw2VvQ

Ling Xi sighed, “Well, I encountered someone who recognized me in the business cabin. We talked for quite some time.”

“Oh, that’s great.” Wu Youpeng was overjoyed: “I already conducted a fan survey for you. Your fans are largely concentrated in third-tier cities with an average monthly income of less than 3000 according to the findings. I never imagined that there would be fans who could afford the business class! Tell me quickly, did you take a photo with them and sign an autograph?!”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“They don’t require my autograph…” Ling Xi raised his eyes and glanced at him: “The one who recognized me was Xu Zhiqiang, An Ruifeng’s agent.”

Wu Youpeng opened his mouth wide, exhaling heavily: “…Are you stupid? At this time when people inquire if you are Ling Xi, you just respond you are not!” He thumped his chest and continued, “You are a celebrity on a trip as well. Other actors have reserved the full business class cabin, but the two of us are crammed into economy. If I were you, I would be embarrassed to greet Xu Zhiqiang.” cnzQb0

Ling Xi cursed silently. My little brother was spotted by them at the time. How could I continue to pose as a stranger? To avoid explaining to Wu Youpeng why his little brother was spotted, he prudently shut up, resolved to let the secret rot in his stomach.

Half an hour later, the plane arrived in N City on schedule.

Ling Xi and others sitting in the last row were waiting for everyone to exit before dragging their hand bags off the plane. When they arrived at the carousel to retrieve their luggage, a crowd had gathered around the conveyor belt, pointing at something. Many individuals got out their phones and photographed the conveyor belt.

Ling Xi stopped a passerby and inquired as to what he was shooting. JZ5FH6

The humanitarian: “Hey, I don’t know which idiot redesigned his suitcase to appear like sushi. The caviar on the lid is incredibly realistic and lifelike! The baggage has been spinning on the conveyor belt for a long time, much like a sushi restaurant with a revolving belt. I need to take a few more shots and share them with my friends before that moron takes the suitcase away!”

The phony gigantic caviar sushi gently revolved near Ling Xi at that moment, and Ling Xi reached for it. He coolly walked away from the perplexed man after getting the bags.

Wu Youpeng kneaded his brow: “I have tried to persuade you. You always play this prank with the luggage. Is it interesting?”

“Interesting.” Ling Xi nodded, satisfied that he had recovered somewhat from the spiritual injury he had sustained on the plane. The luggage in his hand was assembled and remodeled by himself, and it became a magnificent airport scenery each time. He reasoned that if he couldn’t get along in this circle, he could create a Taobao shop selling handmade suitcases. This was the world’s only high-end customization. He reckoned that the earnings from their sales would be no less than the proceeds from his album sales. 9oAYHO

As they headed towards the exit, the two of them talked. They could hear the loud shouting at the entryway from a distance. As they moved out of the exit, they noticed the guardrails on both sides of the aisle, which were crowded with many young girls clutching flowers and hanging cameras around their necks. They yelled loudly at Ling Xi— “Ah! I love you!!!” “Look here!!!”

The airport security personnel leaned back and pressed hard against the guardrails. Those crazed female fans would have broken through the guardrails if it hadn’t been for them.

Ling Xi was pleasantly surprised. He waved his arms at those adoring fans and struck many pretentious poses in quick succession. He was moved to tears.

“Big Brother, you’re so kind to me. Where did you hire the fans this time? They are excellent at building momentum.” He was about to cry with joy: “I didn’t expect you to always laugh at me, but at critical moments, you would always support me.” 2897sm

“……Wait a minute!” Wu Youpeng had a headache: “I haven’t publicized this trip to N City at all. I did not recruit these fans.”

Ling Xi was dumbstruck: “What?”

The supporters packing the guardrails screamed out their idol’s name in unison, echoing Wu Youpeng’s remarks—”An Ruifeng!” “Ruifeng!” “Prince Ruifeng!”

Then, a strong smell of cologne wafted from behind Ling Xi. Ling Xi subconsciously turned his head and saw the celebrity who had seen his little brother and butt on the plane. He moved confidently and comfortably towards Ling Xi step by step, as if he were on the runway. d3HxQg

An Ruifeng had removed his sunglasses and mask, and a layer of foundation had been applied on his face to conceal his frightening dark circles. An Ruifeng towered above Ling Xi by nearly half a head. Looking across from Ling Xi’s perspective, his gaze was drawn to those smiling lips. Lips that were slender and sexy, with the corners of his mouth slightly curving upwards, making others want to bite them. Ling Xi swallowed and mused – After a while, I will login to my alternate account and vote on the topic “An Ruifeng’s best feature: his eyes or his lips?”

An Ruifeng gave him a soft smile as he noticed Ling Xi staring at him blankly. Ling Xi had just freeloaded the publicity from his admirers as well as the flashlights that should have been his. If it had been another star with a fiery temper, the two would have gotten into a dispute. Fortunately, An Ruifeng was generous and was unconcerned with such small matters. He also mocked Ling Xi.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Disciple,” he drawled: “You are blocking master.”
