we are not friends anymore

Chapter 16 Drowning Fish

Let's debut together...me and you.

The opportunity you all treasure, I give it to you.

"Brother Mingxi...Brother Mingxi!"

"Joe Mingxi!"

Qiao Mingxi choked out a mouthful of water.

He struggled to open his eyes, looking at the faces surrounding him, he didn't know what Xi Xi was.

"Great! Wake up."

The surrounding crowd breathed a sigh of relief, and the accompanying doctor of the film crew stepped forward to check Qiao Mingxi again.

"How is it, Xiao Qiao? Are you okay?" The director also stood aside and asked with concern.

Qiao Mingxi coughed a few times and shook her head: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"It's fine if you have nothing to do." The director waved his hand, then turned his head and told the assistant beside him, "Today we won't shoot the part of Xiao Qiao, go and change the announcement."

Xiao Yan hurriedly stepped forward to help Qiao Mingxi up, the two thanked the director, and Xiao Yan wanted to take Qiao Mingxi back to the hotel to rest.

Many of the girls in the crew were fans of c.air. Seeing Qiao Mingxi's wet clothes and hair, they all felt distressed, and they leaned close to him and talked with concern.

The 26-year-old Qiao Mingxi was very different from the old Qiao Mingxi, but he was still not good at dealing with people, so he replied a few words blankly.Xiao Yan was very conscious of being an assistant, and helped Qiao Mingxi to thank them one by one.

"Are you okay?" Someone patted on the shoulder lightly, and Qiao Mingxi turned his head, facing Xue Qiao's handsome face.

It was Qiao Mingxi who accidentally fell into the water, but Xue Qiao also looked drenched. He had already taken off his dark green military jacket, and his wet shirt was sticking to his skin, revealing the outline of his strong muscles.

Seeing his appearance, Qiao Mingxi couldn't help being taken aback, and Xiao Yan said, "Brother Mingxi, brother Xue was the first to jump down to save you just now."

After finishing speaking, he thanked Xue Qiao again, Xue Qiao carelessly wiped a handful of wet hair, and said with a smile, "It's all what it should be."

He turned to look at Qiao Mingxi, and said with concern: "Go back and rest early, the water is quite cold."

"Thank you." Qiao Mingxi looked up at him, "Do you want to continue filming?"

"That's right." Xue Qiao shrugged, "Your brother and I have scenes with 80.00% of the characters in this play, except for Rhubarb at the entrance of the village."

Qiao Mingxi understood his words slowly, and smiled dully.Xue Qiao patted him on the shoulder again friendly: "Okay, go back quickly, remember to drink some hot water."

After saying goodbye to Xue Qiao, Xiao Yan accompanied Qiao Mingxi back to the hotel.Although the weather was relatively hot, the water in the artificial lake was still a little cold. Qiao Mingxi's lips were pale, and there was a lingering look of fatigue on his face.

"Brother Mingxi, why don't you take a shower first?" Xiao Yan opened the door of the room and let Qiao Mingxi in, "I'll go buy you some hot food."

Qiao Mingxi nodded, and when Xiao Yan turned and left, he was about to close the door.The door of the room at the other end of the corridor suddenly opened, and a person ran out.

"Ashi!"

Qiao Mingxi was about to close the door subconsciously, but the man ran fast and rushed to the door to block it.

"Didn't you have a show today? You came back so early? Have you eaten yet? Go eat with me." He was stunned when he saw Qiao Mingxi after he finished speaking, "What's wrong with you?"

Qiao Mingxi lowered his head indifferently, but increased his strength to close the door.Lin Zining said, "Did your film crew make rain? You don't have to work so hard, did you drink the hot water?"

He asked ramblingly, but Qiao Mingxi felt depressed for no reason.He himself is also a young master who does his own thing, but he will never be able to deal with Lin Zining's self-talking personality.

The other party's beautiful face seemed to be pinching his nerves heavily.

"Lin Zining." Qiao Mingxi rarely showed an impatient look, and pushed away Lin Zining's hand that was about to touch his forehead, "Can you, stay away from me?"

Let's talk, without waiting for Lin Zining's reaction, he used a moderate amount of force to push him out of the room, and closed the door with a "bang".

His world finally returned to silence.

Qiao Mingxi stood there blankly for a few seconds before he realized the overwhelming cold and exhaustion. He dragged himself into the bathroom, turned on hot water and curled up in the bathtub.

The warm water surrounded his whole body. Qiao Ming was looking forward to the post-modern decoration above the bathroom, and his whole body seemed to be out of his body.

Sometimes he is so afraid of water that he is almost nervous. He has never installed a bathtub at home, and never swims or soaks in hot springs.Qiao Mingyue said hello to the company when she first debuted, not to shoot beachside portraits, and not to shoot scenes in the water.

He was once rumored by the crew to be a big name because he asked to delete the swimming scene in an idol drama.

But at this moment, he was like a puppet, mechanically filled with hot water, and retracted mechanically into the bathtub.He was pale, but stubbornly refused to stand up.

Back then, he just talked to Qiao Mingyue, and the combination of four became five; Ji Yan, whose name had been crossed out, even became the captain.A small wish and a simple sentence from Young Master Qiao led to the c.air that became a smash hit later on.

He was naturally selfish at that time. With Dongxing's strength, if he tried his best to promote a boy group, his lifespan would not be much shorter.As long as they are together for one day, he will be with Ji Yan for one day.

He gave Ji Yan the opportunity to debut.

The company prepared a second-floor apartment for them as a dormitory, and Qiao Mingxi also moved in from Qiao's house.Without servants and housekeepers, he can't do many things, and he doesn't remember to eat three meals a day.Ji Yan can only remind him every day, and do things for him that he can't.

From the very beginning, they were closer than others.

I remember the time when the first album hit the charts, the company caught up with the craze and asked them to hold a two-hour live broadcast.Shen Jiaen was the first to hold the phone camera. He jumped up and down in the spacious living room of the dormitory, threatening to show fans the "secrets" of each member.

In the camera, Yi Huan was heating up a late dinner in the kitchen, and showed fans their "perfunctory" dinner; in the camera, Lin Zining opened the door of the room and jumped out, doing a playful dance in front of the camera.

The fans were excited to watch, and the comments were dazzling.

"Now I've come to Mingxi's room~ Let's see what he's doing~" Shen Jiaen in the camera deliberately lowered his voice and knocked on the door, but it was Ji Yan in a black shirt who came out to open the door.

Shen Jiaen hasn't responded yet, the audience has already posted "high energy" in the message.

The camera entered the room, and there was a pile of unknown creatures lying on the messy bed. Shen Jiaen held up the phone and moved a little closer, and Qiao Mingxi, who was wearing little yellow duck pajamas and sleeping messily, appeared in the camera.

"Oh, Mingxi is sleeping again!" Shen Jiaen lowered her voice and said something to the camera, then moved her phone to take a picture of the room, the camera was pulled to one side, and there was Ji Yan squatting next to the suitcase to pack her things again.

"This is their daily routine." Shen Jiaen moved her mouth exaggeratedly, "Tomorrow we are going to fly to City C again... Let me tell you, Mingxi can't fold clothes! Every time Ji Yan helps~"

A burst of dynamic music came from outside the corridor, drowning out his drawn-out notes.

Shen Jiaen in the camera burst out laughing: "Lin Zining is going crazy!"

The audience left messages asking to see Baby Zining dance, Shen Jiaen just moved away from the camera, and Lin Zining jumped in humming.In the camera, the two boys were making a fuss, but Ji Yan pulled them away and gestured for them to be quiet.

The audience has already laughed wildly in the message.

"Baby Zining's dancing is crazy hahahahahaha!"

"Jiaen 66666666~"

"Hey, did you forget that His Royal Highness is sleeping [laughing and crying]"

At the end of that live broadcast, the teenager lying on the bed got up angrily, and with bangs blown to the sky, he floated past the camera, and left a light but resentful sentence.

"You guys are crazy..."

That live broadcast made the fans who just joined c.air discover the new world of CP.A lot of screenshots and video clips began to appear on the Internet, and the focus was nothing more than Ji Yan who helped Qiao Mingxi pack her luggage.

Luna quickly grasped this point. From that day on, under the company's instigation, Qiao Mingxi's tacit understanding, Ji Yan's intentional or unintentional, and the fans' powerful brain power, Qiao Mingxi and Ji Yan Yan's cp began to gain a sense of presence in the following years.

"Your Highness has lost a lot of weight recently, Young Master Yan must take good care of His Highness><"

"Hahaha without Young Master Yan, His Highness really can't do it."

"Hey you two, this is not a love show!"

"Only Yan Shao can have such a tacit understanding with His Highness~"

"Gain, give up, don't you see Yan Shao standing next to you 23333?"

"Sure enough, every time the broadcast is live, His Highness is in a daze and Yan Shao translates xd"

……

After that, whether it was a variety show or a live broadcast, as long as there was an event where Qiao Mingxi and Ji Yan appeared at the same time, it would be a carnival moment for cp fans.

Qiao Mingxi once felt that they were too involved in the drama, but it took him a long time to realize that the only person who was addicted to it was actually himself.

The body slowly slid down the smooth bathtub, and Qiao Mingxi was submerged in the water, imagining himself as a fish that couldn't swim.

Forever, the weird and lonely one.

Lin Zining was frightened by Qiao Mingxi's rare bad attitude, and stood in front of the closed door for a long time before recovering.He stood quietly with downcast eyes for a while, then turned around to go back, but he picked up Xiao Yan who came back with takeaway.

"Brother Lin." Xiao Yan greeted him, Lin Zining looked at him steadily, and asked, "What's wrong with Ah Xi?"

"Brother Mingxi..." Xiao Yan said, "I fell into the water during filming just now, it's nothing serious, maybe I was a little scared."

"Falling into the water?!" Lin Zining raised his voice an octave before reacting and said in a low voice, "No wonder it's so abnormal."

Xiao Yan looked at him, and didn't know what to say, so he could only respectfully say, "Brother Lin, if it's okay, I'll go in first. Brother Ming Xi didn't eat much today."

"Okay, let's go." Lin Zining waved to him, turned and walked towards the elevator.

Xiao Yan looked at his back and sighed melancholy.

He only started working as an assistant for c.air in the later period. After c.air disbanded, he followed Qiao Mingxi. Qiao Mingxi was silent for a while, and he didn't have much work content. Occasionally, he would go to Shen Jiaen to help.

He has watched these boys walk together for several years. Even a small person like him can see Qiao Mingxi's growing indifference towards Lin Zining, and can vaguely guess the reason, but Lin Zining seems to be fine. He often dances around Qiao Mingxi like a good friend.

These two people, although their personalities and family backgrounds are far apart, are equally strange.
