Jiang Yin didn’t feel embarrassed. Instead, she made an expression of ‘oh it’s like that’ and gave a frank smile. “My sixth sense has always been very inaccurate.”
Just as it happened, the female lead on the stage passed the microphone to Zhou Ziheng, and the host asked him some questions about the movie.
“Just now we saw some clips in the pre-release film. Ziheng, your breakthrough this time is really super big. I almost couldn’t recognize you when I saw it for the first time. We are all very curious. While filming this, was there anything that gave you a particularly deep impression or feelings?”
Zhou Ziheng held the microphone, thought for a moment, and replied, “If we are talking about feelings, I don’t want to eat fish or shrimp in about half a year.”
The fans in the audience all laughed. This kind of serious cold humor unexpectedly fits him.
“What gave me a deep impression… In fact, I was very impressed during the whole process of shooting this movie. To be honest, it’s the first time I tried this theme, and Director Wang had obsessive-compulsive disorder, he was obsessed with using real scenes, rather than filming in the studio, eighty percent of the shots were actually shot on the boat. At first, my seasickness reaction was very serious. I couldn’t get into the state for a long time. The whole group was very tired and very depressed. When I think of the existence of such people in the world who are deprived of their human rights and become slaves, I feel a very…” Zhou Ziheng considered the wording for a moment, “Deep pain, yes, this kind of feeling probably supported me, gritting my teeth to finish the movie. I think the actors and the whole staff also felt like this.”
Xia Xiqing slightly tilted his head to look at him and listened carefully. To be honest, he has always felt that Zhou Ziheng is not suitable for the entertainment industry. He is like a product in a sterile environment. He has a heart of salvation for any dangerous and complicated environment outside.
To put it bluntly, he’s an idealist suffering from redemption delusions.
This is the first time he has watched Zhou Ziheng from such a close distance. He now understands why those star-chaser girls want to see their idols in person so enthusiastically. Good looking stars like this can only be more beautiful in real life.
Staring at Zhou Ziheng on the stage, Xia Xiqing felt that every angle of him was almost perfect, and he could completely replace those plasters with a lack of texture and become a model for others like portrait sketching. Occupational disease made him subconsciously scan and analyze every inch of skin and muscle under Zhou Ziheng’s body through the clothing that covered his body. Xia Xiqing, who has read countless people, always believes that Zhou Ziheng’s body is the most perfect he has ever seen.
I really want to create a sculpture based on him. Xia Xiqing sighed in his heart.
“Let’s start the live audience questioning,” the host handed the microphone to Zhou Ziheng, “Ziheng, you go first.”
The fans began to scream, and the atmosphere at the scene became very enthusiastic for a time. Zhou Ziheng narrowed his eyes slightly. This little action looked very pleasing to Xia Xiqing.
On the stage and off the stage, the two people’s line of sight meet. Xia Xiqing slightly raised the corners of his mouth and his eyes, habitually conveying a message in his eyes.
“That one over there.”
Zhou Ziheng pointed in his direction.
“The girl in a floral skirt.” He added.
It turned out to be the girl behind him. Xia Xiqing smiled.
Boring straight man.
His ‘I’m very interested’ kind of look that he sent over was blocked by the other side’s straight man’s wall. This kind of bad start didn’t make him feel depressed, but aroused a fire in his stomach. It is probably the same as that of a hunter chasing deer. The more agile a target is, the more powerful the gun is.
He didn’t listen much to the question and answer between them, he just used his eyes to observe the texture and lines of his body wantonly yet restrainedly, just like facing a perfect sculpture in a museum, full of longing and imagination.
The press conference lasted two hours. After the meeting, Xia Xiqing went to the bathroom. The venue was a high-class hotel with complicated structure. Xia Xiqing walked around but couldn’t find it. On the way, he met a staff member and asked with a smile, “Hello, do you know where the restroom is?”
The staff is a young girl, and she was a little embarrassed to see Xia Xiqing, “Turn right, oh no, turn left and walk to the end, there is a VIP restroom…”

“Thank you.” Xia Xiqing tilted his head, smiled sweetly, and walked in the direction she said with his hands in his pockets.

Aren’t you tired after calling all night?

He chuckled lightly, shook the drops of water on his hand, took a few pieces of tissue paper from the box beside him, and carefully wiped his fingers, “I remember the first time we met, I said I didn’t date, but you have a good appetite for me. So I came out to drink with you when I was bored. Who knew that after chatting for two sentences I realised that you…”
His ending was dragged for a long time, and he seemed to hesitate to speak.
After hesitating for too long, his tone became completely cold, and he slowly said word by word: “Have. No. Good. Points.”
The other party kept talking at the end of the phone, speaking until Xia Xiqing felt annoyed, “You’re serious? Don’t kid me. I’m most afraid to hear someone saying to me I’m serious. It’s bullshit. You think you’re the heroine of a drama?”
Obviously, he was clearly still drinking with others in the bar yesterday, so he was so messed up to do things with people on the spot. Now he still has a face to express his sincerity.
“We are already adults. If we part on good terms maybe next time we can sit down and have a drink together. Neither of us is a fuel-efficient lamp. You can hook up with fresh and warm foods with this effort. Why do you spend time with me?” He shook his hand, the voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became much louder, which made his ears ache. He frowned and took the phone with his hand, and there was no smile on his face.
Even the sound of his voice has changed.
“I’m warning you, get lost.”
He dumped the tissue paper he had wiped his hands before and threw it into the trash can, “If you continue to spout rubbish, I will find someone to scrap the play thing you have below. Anyway, you’re just the one lying on the bed being fucked, it’s useless to keep it.”
The person on the phone suddenly quieted down.
Xia Xiqing smiled and looked at himself in the mirror. He adjusted his expression and smiled gently.
“Don’t be nervous. I’m just kidding you. How could I bear it.” His voice became very gentle again, his back against the wall of the bathroom, as if he was comforting his intimate little lover, “So be good and disappear from my eyes, okay?”
After hanging up the phone, Xia Xiqing was about to go in to use the toilet, but he didn’t expect a person to come out from inside.
Gray-blue shirt, tall, it’s the actor Zhou Ziheng, who was still shining on stage before.
Fuck, it’s overturned.
Xia Xiqing, who had been knocked out of his “true face”, did not panic. He calmly and even gracefully showed Zhou Ziheng an angelic smile.
“What a coincidence.”
Zhou Ziheng’s eyebrows slightly frowned, looking at Xia Xiqing’s expression with disgust that couldn’t be concealed. No, it’s not that it can’t be concealed. What an actor is good at, is to cover up his emotions.
He didn’t even bother to hide his disgust.
Zhou Ziheng glanced down and saw the silver badge on Xia Xiqing’s chest, which symbolized his fans’ status. Xia Xiqing noticed this look. He also took a look at it himself. He reached out and touched the badge. He said with a smile, “Well… you’re right, I’m your fan.”
Zhou Ziheng bypassed him indifferently, walked to the sink and turned on the faucet.
Xia Xiqing shrugged, entered the cubicle, and closed the door with his feet.
He was hated by his idol, misstep.
Usually, he would never reveal his feet at the first meeting, and acting out a close and friendly image is really easy for him. After all, people with the so-called little angel character settings have more affinity, who asked people to always give their trust to seemingly good people at will? This time it was really unfavorable. Xia Xiqing pulled the guy who harassed so much it became an addiction into the blacklist with disgust.
Forget it, he’s not a serious fan. He just regarded him as an object of sexual fantasy.
It is also a special kind of attention to be hated by your idol. Xia Xiqing thought with self mockery, slammed the door, went to the huge mirror and looked at it. The man who looked gentle and kind in the mirror was not him at all. After coming out of the bathroom, he left the venue directly.
Who knows, Xia Xiqing, who was in the bar until 3:30 in the morning, received another call from Xu Qichen.
“Xiqing, you are on the hot search.”
The music in the bar was loud. Xia Xiqing came out of the bar with frowning eyebrows. He squatted on the side of the road dizzily, his tongue numb from drinking, “What did you say?”
“You’re on the hot search on Weibo. It seems that someone has uploaded the video of the press conference, and you were caught on camera. ”
Xu Qichen spoke quite calmly, but Xia Xiqing knew very well that he was just such a calm person. He simply said a few words to Xu Qichen, and he sat on the side of the road with the cold morning air blowing on his face made him slightly more awake. Xia Xiqing opened Weibo with raised eyebrows and found the hot search page.
The first article of the hot search list is impressively written in a few big characters.
[Little Brother In White Shirt At The Press Conference of SEAGULL]
White shirt? Xia Xiqing tried hard to recall his clothes last night.
He seemed to be wearing a white shirt… He clicked on the entry and looked at it. The most reposted video was the interactive Q&A session between Zhou Ziheng and his fans at the press conference. The camera switched from Zhou Ziheng on stage to the lucky fan offstage, that is, the girl behind Xia Xiqing. During this process, the camera stayed on Xia Xiqing’s face for a few seconds. For just that few seconds, Xia Xiqing went directly on the hot search.
He suddenly remembered that he had taken off his mask and didn’t put it on again. He was too careless.
There are almost ten thousand comments on this video.
[I’m a watermelon, not a winter melon]: I want all the information about this little brother in ten minutes.
[VikiViki]: Mom, I saw an angel [Tears filled my eyes.jpg]
[Beauty dog does not have human rights]: With this kind of face, is it really daijoubu not to make a debut??? He is too beautiful, the long hair also looks so good, like a celestial being.
[33 is my wife]: A pure passerby, this shot is simply amazing. He smiles like an angel and looks better than a lot of fresh meat…
[My Heng is the overall Gong]: The little brother looks really so beautiful, but if I see it correctly, isn’t he wearing the support badge of Zhou Ziheng fan on his chest? [screenshot attached]
[First Mrs.Zhou Ziheng]: It is the support badge of the Heng family! Fuck, the little brother is a fan of my Ziheng, sorry I lowered the average appearance of Ziheng fans [kneeling].
[Most A of the Universe Zhou Ziheng]: Fuck, my Heng family is really like idol like fan, this kind of look is almost deadly to the many idols of today. I’m really an embarrassment to Heng family [crying]
[eat melon Xiaoming]: Nowadays, those who are not good-looking are embarrassed to chase stars.
As he was flipping the comments, he noticed there was a person standing in front of him, the shadow hovering over Xia Xiqing’s body, and he lazily raised his head. He saw a pretty good-looking man.
The other party smiled and lit a cigarette, “No company?”
Xia Xiqing blinked slowly, he didn’t know why, but he was not interested at all now. He raised half of his eyebrows and said coldly, “Do you think I look like a person without company?” After speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.
The man was a little surprised. He didn’t expect this handsome man to stand up so tall, but he still stretched out his hand and pulled him, and smiled, “Don’t rush away. It’s an awkward situation at this time. I want to invite you to drink.”
The other party’s face looked like a veteran. Xia Xiqing swept his eyes, then raised the corners of his mouth, and immediately changed his expression, revealing a provocative gesture. A finger was placed on the man’s shoulder, “It’s so boring to drink… handsome, I’m 20,000 yuan an hour, so, you’re a new customer, I’ll give you a discount, how about 16,000?”
The man frowned immediately, “You’re sick.”
“I’m not sick.” Xia Xiqing smiled lightly, “I’m very clean, do you want to see the medical report?”
“20,000? You really dare to say it.” The man looked at him, “What’s up with your butt? Is it gilded with gold?”
Looking at him like this, Xia Xiqing’s eyes immediately cooled down, and he uttered a few words that were extremely disproportionate to his appearance, and even his voice became low, “My JB is diamond-studded.”
He lit a cigarette for himself, and the expression on his face instantly changed from a provocative look to a ruffian. He looked up at the other person through the gray-white smoke, “If you don’t have any money, why strike up a conversation? Goods like you, even if you took all your clothes off, lay on bed and paid me money, I’d still have to think about it.”
“You…” There was a trace of displeasure on the other side’s face, but he still didn’t seem to want to give up.
Xia Xiqing got bored, took out his wallet, took out a few notes from it and put it into the pocket of the man’s left chest, “Here.”
The man frowned, “What are you doing?”
Xia Xiqing took a puff of cigarette and blew the smoke on his face, “Buying a peace and quiet. If your desire is really unsatisfied, take the money and have some fun.”
“You!” The other party was stunned.
His neck leaned back, and his face became impatient when he lowered his head again.
“Aren’t you leaving?”
