I Became Popular After Online Dating With A Big Shot.

The green flames burned more and more violently, and Xie Qiao saw that not only his right hand, but Xiao Ziqi's flesh and blood body was almost completely occupied by black corpses.

His brows and eyes flashed a little unbearable, and he asked Nini: "Is there any other way?"

The elf shook his head.

Xiao Ziqi's voice was calm: "Xie Qiao, you can't save me, don't waste your efforts, you have to listen to every word I say next."

"In addition to occupying the body, corpses can also parasitize humans and maintain a symbiotic relationship until they are completely devoured. Compared with the former, it is more hidden and difficult to find. It is concerned about the people around you. They are very cunning. The corpses in the props are just bait .”

"But they have a weakness. Once they are parasitic, they can't escape, and they can't smell the slightest smell of gray mist, otherwise they won't be able to control themselves."

Xiao Ziqi's body gradually disappeared in the fire, his tone remained firm, and the last sentence had a hint of pleading: "Please bring my mother a catty of persimmons, she likes to eat."

The second after his voice fell, the flame turned into gray mist, and after being absorbed by the pages of the book, there was only a void left, as if Xiao Ziqi had never appeared.

Xie Qiao bowed slightly to the air.

Xiao Ziqi didn't talk much, but the words contained too much weight. He didn't know how Xiao Ziqi maintained his consciousness, but it was not easy to imagine.

The Collection Illustrated Book absorbed all the gray fog, and quietly lay back in Xie Qiao's hands, when a line of numbers suddenly appeared on the cover of the book.

1062/5000.

"what is this?"

Xie Qiao asked in a low voice.

The collection illustrated book writes on the blank paper of the cover.

——I also forgot, but it should be a very important thing, the more corpses absorbed, the faster it will be unlocked.

Xie Qiao closed the collection book.

Lan Meng on the side stared blankly at the sky, he didn't even know the name of that person just now, he must be a few years younger than him.

He tore off a dark gold medal from the costume and put it on the ground.

The police came very quickly, including the little police officer Wu Yue who was guarding his door before, and questioned them separately.

Lan Meng didn't know what to say and what not to say, so he simply used his superb acting skills to play the role of an ordinary actor who was scared by the corpse and trembled, unable to utter a complete sentence, even the most experienced old detective I couldn't bear to ask him.

And Wu Yue held a pen and asked Xie Qiao with a serious face: "Why did the corpse disappear out of thin air?"

Xie Qiao pondered: "A green flame appeared."

"Then why did it appear?" Wu Yue's voice was suddenly severe.

Xie Qiao was kind and generous: "I'm thinking about this too."

Wu Yue: ...

His intuition told him that Xie Qiao had a problem, but the surveillance cameras on the set only captured Xiao Ziqi, and he couldn't ask questions if he wanted to, so he just gave Xie Qiao a glare.

Xie Qiao accepted it frankly.

He is unwilling to reveal too much information and has his own concerns. Who knows if a person is a person under the skin, but there is one thing he has to say——

Xie Qiao collected his expression, and solemnly repeated Xiao Ziqi's words.

The policemen sitting opposite looked at each other, and one of them frowned and asked, "It can be seen from the surveillance video that Xiao Ziqi's body is covered with corpses, a person parasitized by corpses , can you believe what you say?"

"If the fog is used for detection, it will inevitably bring the fog samples into the defense line. If the fog spreads, the loss will be far beyond imagination."

"I can't believe it."

……

Xie Qiao sighed when he walked out of the police station. It is true that the police officers' considerations were not unreasonable, but he still felt that Xiao Ziqi who could say such a thing was not that bad.

Lan Meng didn't have Xie Qiao's scruples. Before he left, he waved to Xie Qiao: "Come to my house as a guest when you have time. My brother's cooking is as delicious as yours."

"Your brother?"

Xie Qiao asked subconsciously.

"Yes, my cousin was abroad before, and now he is a Ph.D. in Sociology of Gray Fog and a professor at Liuyin University." Lan Meng introduced.

"Grey fog sociology?"

It was the first time Xie Qiao heard of this concept.

"It is a new branch of sociology in recent years. The main research content is the impact of the fog on all aspects of society. It was very popular the year before last, but now the popularity has gradually dropped."

Xie Qiao understood, he was quite interested: "Can I ask your brother's name?"

"Blue."

Xie Qiao memorized it silently.

After separating from Lan Meng, he carried the collection illustration book and walked into the car parked by the side of the road.

Fang He was sitting in the co-pilot, and Fang He was as lucky as ever. When the corpse appeared on the set, he went to the toilet, and escaped the stampede accident with people rushing to the door without injury.

Sitting in the back row of the car, Yu Hansheng raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Qiao.

Xie Qiao originally wanted to take a few steps less and sit in the front row, but after a pause, he sat in the back row of the car again. Sensing that the atmosphere was a little hot, he opened the topic abruptly: "I didn't scare you today, do you want to Candy?"

He took out a bag of toffee from the seat in the back row, and when he was about to hand it to Yu Hansheng, the giant snake lowered its eyes and asked, "How do you eat it?"

"How else can I eat it?" Xie Qiao asked suspiciously.

As soon as he spoke, the image of the two kissing appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help coughing and blushing.

While looking sideways at the speeding window, he changed the subject and asked Fang He, "Brother Fang, do you know where Xiao Ziqi's parents live?"

"Ancheng."

square and opening.

The next day, Ancheng.

Xie Qiao walked into Ancheng Third People's Hospital with persimmons.

Ancheng is an important military town, less than five thousand miles away from the southern defense line, and most of the hospitals are wounded soldiers who fought against corpses.

He walked to the ward according to the address given by Fang He. Through the glass of the ward, he saw a woman lying weakly on the hospital bed with pale lips.

"Are you her son?"

The passing nurse saw the dried persimmons in Xie Qiao's hand, and said with a smile, "She has said many times that the youngest son is coming to bring her dried persimmons. Come in with me."

"I am a friend of her son."

Xie Qiao shook his head.

He asked, "Madam, does she have a son?"

"Are you talking about Colonel Xiao Ziqing? He died heroically to save his comrades in the first battle against the siege of corpses half a year ago." The nurse's expression was full of admiration.

No wonder Xiao Ziqi tried his best to get rid of the corpse's control. With such a brother, how could he be willing to be with the corpse.

He entered the ward with dried persimmons: "Hi, I'm Xiao Ziqi's friend from the same company, he can't come to see you this week, please ask me to come and deliver some dried persimmons."

"Thank you."

The woman's voice sounded rather weak.

Xie Qiao chatted with her about the company, and suddenly, the woman asked softly, "Do you think we will ever defeat the fog?"

Xie Qiao stood up from the chair and pursed her lips: "There will be."

"There must be."

His voice gradually became firmer.

"Thank you for the persimmons."

The woman closed her eyes.

"Then I'll take my leave first. If you have anything to do in the future, call me anytime."

Xie Qiao left a note with the phone number on it, and bowed deeply.

He turned and left the ward without seeing today's news under the woman's pillow.

——The rookie actor unfortunately died on the set.

The woman's closed eyelashes fluttered slightly.

She told herself not to cry, she would wait until the day when the gray fog disappeared, and then cry happily.

—if she could wait.

Xie Qiao learned from the nurse that as a family member of a martyr, Xiao’s mother’s medical expenses are all free, but there are two expensive medicines that need to be purchased abroad, which are more effective than ordinary medicines and cost at least 5 yuan a month. Yuan.

He suddenly understood why Xiao Ziqi worked so hard.

Before he left the hospital, he donated all his money.

When Xie Qiao walked out of the hospital, he was a penniless lop-eared rabbit again, and it would take a full 50 yuan to exchange for Mermaid Xiaolin.

He sighed.

Due to the influence of the gray fog, there are fewer and fewer projects to be filmed. Even a small role with a few lines of lines has a group of third-tier actors fighting for it, making money more and more difficult to earn.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

He answered the phone: "Senior Blue, what can I do for you?"

"Qiao Qiao, do you have a schedule next month?" Lan Meng asked.

"Have."

Xie Qiao nodded.

"That's good, it's like this. I originally wanted to help you contact the crew, but you also know that in the current entertainment industry, it is difficult to pay back. Investors value popularity more, and it is difficult to find suitable roles in a short time."

Lan Meng explained seriously.

"I know, thank you senior for your trouble."

Xie Qiao was not surprised. Now that the film and television companies have collapsed one after another, the investors just want to get back their money quickly, and the actors selected are all popular. Many powerful old actors can only switch to farming.

"The cousin I told you about last time, their university is going to cooperate with Biancheng TV station on a social observation food reality show. If you are willing, I can recommend you to the TV station." Lan Meng said straight to the point.

Food reality show?

If there is any variety show that is the most popular in the gray fog era, except for the escape variety show that ranks first, the second place is the food variety show.

Not only Huaguo, but the whole world is promoting low-cost nutritional supplements, but Huaguo people still have a desire for delicious food in their bones.

You can't eat it, but it's good to look at it.

Food variety shows emerged as the times require, not only have not been negatively affected by the fog, but their popularity has also become more and more visible to the naked eye.

"Thank you, Senior Blue."

However, the focus of Xie Qiao's attention is——

"Is it convenient to ask about the salary?"

Lan Meng thought for a while and answered: "About six figures, but there are quite a few guests who want to go this time, and the TV station needs to do another evaluation."

Xie Qiao focused on the six figures, ignored the last sentence, and sincerely thanked: "Thank you, Senior Lan."

"There's no need to thank you. I haven't thanked you for saving my life last time." Lan Meng didn't continue, "I'm going to continue filming."

"Goodbye, Senior Blue."

Xie Qiao hung up the phone.

He got on the train back to the border town. Because he had no money to buy a return ticket, it took him two days to get back to the border town.

As soon as he opened the door, Nini ran out of the house and flew onto his shoulder. He went to sit on the sofa and fed the last biscuit on Nini.

Little Shitou also ran over suddenly, looking up at him.

Xie Qiao didn't have any biscuits on him, but he opened the refrigerator door and handed Xiaoshi a bottle of yogurt.

Nini flapped the transparent wings proudly, while Xiaoshi looked at the biscuit in Nini's hand, and accepted it with aggrieved head.

Xie Qiao: ... Are the compressed biscuits bought at the train station so delicious?

After he put the two little ones to sleep on the sofa, he went back to the bedroom and took a shower. When he was drying his hair, Li Ze dragged him into a wechat group at some point.

— The backyard of the repair shop.

The name is kind of weird.

There are Xia Jian, Ran Zhou, Black Cat, and a bunch of kitten names in the group, and Mr. Yu is there.

In the afternoon, Black Cat posts pet-related tips in the group, such as "Nine o'clock sleepless cat's life is not guaranteed", "The essential elements of a successful cat life", "Shocked!This kind of imported cat food is poisonous"...

Xie Qiao doesn't own cats, so he doesn't know if it's right, but he can't help but pay attention to the latest post from the black cat.

——"bald hair is not a small problem!Beware of sick cats

He couldn't help sending a message.

[Xie Qiao] Baldness is quite...common, right?

【Black cat】? ? ?It's not common, you should get checked for alopecia

But the next moment.

The group displays system messages.

——The black cat quit the group.

Why did you quit the group suddenly?

When Xie Qiao was wondering, he suddenly received a message.

[Yu Hansheng] I like bald ones

The moment he saw the news, the bald rabbit's short-lived glass heart was appeased, and his white ears turned red inconspicuously.

——I didn’t even realize it myself.

When he was about to reply to Mr. Yu, Fang He suddenly sent a photo.

Xie Qiao froze when she clicked on the photo.

Although there was only a back view, he recognized at a glance that it was a photo of him and Yu Hansheng kissing, and he didn't know who took it.

Immediately afterwards, Fang He called.

He probably knew what Fang He would say.

Xie Qiao hesitated for a while, then connected.

as predicted--

"Qiao Qiao, is there something going on between you and Mr. Yu?" Fang He's tone was unusually solemn, "It doesn't affect Mr. Yu, but in the entertainment industry, it's hard for a newcomer to be exposed as gay."

"President Yu can leave, what about you? Maybe you just don't distinguish between normal friendships." Fang He said slowly.

Xie Qiao suddenly asked, "Is homosexuality abnormal?"

Fang He paused for a while, choosing his words carefully: "You can't say that now. Although gay marriage has been legalized in the past two years, in many people's minds, homosexuality is not normal."

"You will be ostracized."

"Discrimination if there is nothing."

"There are also strange eyes."

Fang He chose to tell Xie Qiao because he knew that Xie Qiao was far more sensitive than he seemed.

The young man on the other side of the phone was silent for a long time. He almost thought that when the phone was hung up, a gentle voice came from the other side of the phone: "I know."

It's good to know, Fang He breathed a sigh of relief.

But then he heard the young man speak in a low voice.

"But I'm gay."
