Star of tomorrow

Chapter 43 43. Strange People

The boxing gym was as usual, the smell of men's sweat filled the nose, all trainings were in full swing, the lights shone on the strong and strong body, with the reflection of sweat beads.This should be a scene that Qi Chen has been used to for a long time, but today he is always out of shape. After getting off the treadmill, he put a towel around his neck, panted slightly with his hands on the armrests, and glanced at the people around him from the corner of his eye. The scene that usually looks lively and full of enthusiasm and vitality always seems a little weird today.

Of course, it wasn't the boxing gym or the fighters who were weird, but Qi Chen himself.

His mentality has begun to go wrong.

He kept a low profile for two years and lived in the Golden Triangle by playing counterfeit punches. To put it nicely, he saved money and found a way to return to the arena.

He has no contacts, no background, no matter how much money he saves, he doesn't even know where to send the money.

The door he loves has been closed long ago, Ji Xing's arrival woke him up from the trance of pretending to sleep, all the muscles, blood vessels, and cells in his body were trembling, telling him——If you can't go back, it's better Quit honestly, and switch to other careers while there are not many injuries.

He knows that Ji Xing is starting a business. Such a lively and clever person may be temporarily buried in the Golden Triangle, but his light will bloom in the Golden Triangle one day. What will happen to them then?

Ji Xing was originally a young master with no worries about food and clothing. After experiencing the lowest point, he still stood up firmly, kept walking and running, and left all failures behind.

And what about him?

Qi Chen vigorously wiped the sweat off his face, and looked up at the bustling and desolate scene outside the window—this is always an extreme but not against harmony scene in the Golden Triangle.

What is he going to do?

When Ji Xing kept running forward, he still stopped in place?Holding impossible expectations, stubbornly holding on to a door that won't open?

has no meaning?

Since Ji Xing came, Qi Chen began to think more and more about "what's the point of persistence", and the arrival of Chen Zhifei accelerated some of his thoughts.He doesn't want to wake up, doesn't want to be exposed, he refuses to accept new things, just to prevent this day from coming.

But what should come will always come, and when it is time to let go, you have to let go.It takes a lot of courage to admit your failure, to admit that you are "impossible", and it is much more difficult than sticking to one thing.

Qi Chen's heart was heavy, but he knew that this was an urgent matter, he had to make a choice, otherwise he and Ji Xing would not last long, and his insistence was useless except wasting time.

"Old Qi...Old Qi? Qi Chen?!" Xiao Zhang called him several times from the side, and then waved his hands in front of his eyes. Qi Chen suddenly came back to his senses, frowning blankly, "What?"

"I said tonight's game, are you listening?" Xiao Zhang took out an envelope, which contained a thick stack of money, "It's a big client with a lot of money, and the opponent is..."

Qi Chen was not in the mood to listen, he waved his hands and let Xiao Zhang handle it himself, took the towel and headed towards the ring.

He urgently needs to vent, and urgently needs to vent his negative emotions.

"Who's going to play a round?" he roared, "No water, if you lose, please eat!"

"Come on!" Immediately someone responded, and the boxers also surrounded him——Qi Chen's boxing skills are the best among them, so it is naturally meaningful to observe.

Ji Xing was sorting out documents in the Internet cafe while interviewing Xu Shuo who was sitting across from him.

"So, what you've done the most is corpses?"

"It's acting, pay attention to the words you use."

"Okay, playing the role of a corpse professional?"

"I can act really well, I can lie down for as long as I want, and I will never move." Xu Shuo said proudly, "There are also little eunuchs, younger brothers behind the cannon fodder, and passers-by on the street. Oh, I appeared in the scene once. , although the whole person was covered in a doll costume at the time, and nothing could be seen."

Xu Shuo said: "It's a little bear doll, holding a balloon and standing behind the supporting actor." Xu Shuo let go of the mouse and made a gesture of holding up a balloon, "It's not easy to be an actor, you know? You have to be professional, you have to I have talent and intuition, acting intuition, eyes, camera sense... Do you know which side of my face looks the most handsome?"

Ji Xing was typing on the keyboard and recording, with a lollipop in his mouth, he said vaguely: "But you didn't hold on for long, the weather was too hot before, so you didn't want to go. Have you thought about it? For those who are prepared."

"This meme is too old." Xu Shuo said, "I don't know if you have heard a saying. God will not give you a hurdle that you can't pass. Human potential is unlimited. You can't be too stubborn. If you If you work too hard and get injured all over, what will you do next? People have to learn to let nature take its course, if you don’t fight, you fight.”

Ji Xing tilted his head and looked at him from behind the large screen: "What if you never become a star in your life? Have you thought about it?"

"I thought about it." Xu Shuo nodded, "But it might happen, you can't deny yourself."

Ji Xing: "..."

Ji Xing found that Xu Shuo's unreasonable reasoning was so logical that all the reasons were biased towards his own interests, and basically had nothing to do with objective factors, they were all subjective.

Xu Shuo took out some hand-cut cardboards and said, "I made this myself, take a look."

Ji Xing took it, and the people on the Internet next to him also came to look at it, and saw that it was a part cut from the top of the cardboard box, with a few large characters written on it with a black marker: It depends on human effort.

Ji Xing: "..."

On the second piece of cardboard, it is written: The happiness and joy of human beings lie in struggle, and the most valuable thing is to strive for ideals.

Ji Xing: "..."

Ji Xing read several pieces of cardboard one by one. There was a lot of chicken soup, and some were even filled with dense testimonials and determinations, but...does it make sense?

Ji Xing raised his eyes and looked at Xu Shuo, who was sitting across from him and was addicted to the game. He looked at the screen with bright eyes. The cardboards in hand that marked his "ideal, dream" were just "an empty shell of paper".

Ji Xing took out his mobile phone to take a picture of these cardboards, and said, "Have you thought about tomorrow?"

After Xu Shuo killed the monster, he clenched his fist and said "Yeah", shook his head and looked at the ash, "Huh?"

"Have you thought about tomorrow? What will you do tomorrow, what will you eat, will you be afraid?"

Xu Shuo thought for a while: "Yes, there will be when there is no money to pay the bed fee."

"Then you never thought about getting rid of this fear? Find a job and live seriously..."

"You are mediocre thinking." Xu Shuo pointed at him with a cigarette in his hand, "The people who are selected are special, if you are always looking forward and backward, always afraid of this and that, then you can only be a mediocre person. "

Ji Xing listened to the music, stopped talking too much, finished the draft carefully, and threw the money for today's interview to Xu Shuo—just enough for him to eat and surf the Internet for a day.

Xu Shuo took the money and whistled. Recently, Ji Xing was always asking questions, and he could earn money just by chatting, so he changed his view of Ji Xing quite a bit. Seeing that Ji Xing was packing up and leaving, he greeted him warmly Said: "Let's go? Go slowly, do you want to talk tomorrow?"

Ji Xing had almost collected the materials, and shook his head: "No need, you..."

He thought about it and didn't know what to say, so he clicked on Xu Shuo's computer and said, "Come on."

It was almost lunch time, and Ji Xing called Qi Chen: "How did you become a bodyguard? I have to ask you for dinner? Forget it, I'm just a kind-hearted man, so I don't care about you. Say Okay, what do you eat? Shall I pack it for you?"

"I ordered it, and it will be delivered in a while." Qi Chen said, "You just need to come over."

"Hey, it's the wrong way." Ji Xing smiled, and his voice was drawn out lazily and nasally, "You didn't even ask me what I ate, but you made the decision yourself? Presumptuous."

Qi Chen laughed and said, "All you order is what you like, don't worry, young master."

Ji Xing groaned: "Then I want to change my taste today?"

"Okay." Qi Chen greeted someone on the other end, the background sound quieted down, and said, "I've neglected my duty, what do you want to eat, young master? Shall I order again?"

"Master, I'm not the type to do that." Ji Xing said generously, "You are lucky to meet a little lucky star like me."

Qi Chen chuckled a few times, Ji Xing raised his hand to cover his mouth and "chirped" into the microphone as he walked, with an incomparably bright smile: "Miss me?"

Qi Chen also kissed him back through the microphone.

Next, whispered: "I haven't seen you for a few hours."

"I asked if you missed me!"

"I want to." Qi Chen lowered his voice, "I want to hang you on the waistband of my trousers and take you with me wherever I go."

Ji Xing laughed, and felt that what he was doing was a bit naive. Neither of them was willing to put down the phone, so they chatted all the way. When they arrived downstairs in the boxing gym, Ji Xing looked up at the window on the top of the building, and said : "I'm here, I'll wait for you for nothing."

Qi Chen walked to the window and looked down: "I saw you...wait a minute?"

Ji Xing said "Huh?", but before he could react, Qi Chen had already quickly said on the phone: "Wait for me downstairs, I'll be down right away."

Ji Xing: "??"

Ji Xing was at a loss, Qi Chen was very fast, and he went downstairs in less than a minute wearing a black vest and sweatpants. As soon as he came out, he pulled Ji Xing behind him and rushed to a corner of the intersection in a few steps , there is an automatic "condom" vending machine hanging there, and a sneaky person holding a camera is hiding behind it.

Seeing Qi Chen bring him out, Ji Xing was also taken aback: "Who is this...?"

Qi Chen didn't say a word, his face darkened, and he took off the other party's camera to check.Qi Chen was tall and big, and the man didn't dare to resist. Ji Xing looked at him suspiciously, and leaned over to look at the camera with Qi Chen, and saw that the dozens of recent photos in it were all of himself.

Ji Xing: "??" What's the situation?

Qi Chen obviously misunderstood, and thought that the other party was a private detective sent by Ji Xing's family, and said fiercely: "What are you doing filming him? Who is your employer? Tell me!"

Ji Xing: "..."

Ji Xing was sure that he didn't know this man at all. He was about 40 years old, with a thin body and a little bald head. He was wearing an ordinary T-shirt and slacks, with the sleeves rolled up, revealing his tanned skin.

He was also carrying a big bag with many lenses and brackets in it, and a pair of glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose. When Qi Chen was talking to him, he kept sneaking glances at Ji Xing, and his eyes flicked back and forth on Ji Xing, looking very suspicious.

Qi Chen blocked Ji Xing behind him, deleted all of Ji Xing's photos in the camera, and said, "It's okay if you don't say anything, don't let me see you again, otherwise it won't be as simple as deleting the photos next time."

Qi Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tall body burst out with a suffocating sense of oppression: "I know the Golden Triangle better than you, and I remember your face. Next time, I promise you will never enter the Golden Triangle again."

The other party was obviously frightened, his lips trembled but he didn't say a word, he raised his hand and pushed his glasses, and he finally choked out a sentence: "Your family opened the Golden Triangle? If you say you can't enter, you can't enter?"

Qi Chen frowned, and the corners of his mouth were drawn down. He looked like a serious thug. He was only wearing a black suit and a pair of black sunglasses. He said in a low voice, "You can try it."

He stuffed the camera into the man's arms, but the man didn't dare to say anything, turned around and ran away.

Ji Xing poked his head out from behind Qi Chen, and looked thoughtfully at the back of the other party leaving—it's not that he has never seen a private detective, this person is not like the way over there, but rather... a reporter?No, not like a reporter either.

Ji Xing was a little uncertain, Qi Chen thought he was afraid, held his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm here, I promise not to let him get any closer to you."

Ji Xing knew that Qi Chen had misunderstood, he had no match, and no one would chase him here to check him, but there was no way to explain this, so he nodded.

Qi Chen was still worried, and said, "Eat first, and I'll go find someone after eating."

Hearing what he said, Ji Xing really planned to deal with the unknown person, fearing that he would cause trouble, so he hurriedly persuaded: "It's okay, he was discovered by you, and he probably won't come again."

Qi Chen took Ji Xing's hand and walked upstairs, "Where did you go during the day? Are you at home?"

"Go to the Internet cafe."

"I'm not here, so don't run around." Qi Chen said, "Or come to the boxing gym with me in the future?"

Ji Xing sighed: "I still have things to do."

Qi Chen pursed his lips: "Then I will accompany you."

"You're busy with your work." Ji Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he was very moved when he saw Qi Chen's serious and tense expression, "I'm fine.

Send you a message every once in a while?Um? "

Qi Chen said: "You guys are too much, you have fled here, why are you still chasing after him? What does he want to do?"

Ji Xing: "..."

Ji Xing said awkwardly: "I, I don't know either."

Qi Chen shook his head: "You rich people are really lawless."

Ji Xing: "..." Tsk, is the map cannon okay?
