Re-employment after powder removal

Qiao Lin stood there dumbfounded, watching Chi Xiangzhen just open the door and walk out.

Chi Xiangzhen's assistant glanced back before leaving, and smiled awkwardly when he met Qiao Lin's eyes.

Soon, only Qiao Lin was left in the preparation room.

After a while, he finally came back to his senses.After being unbelievable and wronged, a sentence that had never appeared before popped up in his mind.

Is there something wrong with Chi Xiangzhen's brain?

This line of words was adjusted into a super large bold font, and played in a loop above his head.

What is so strange about boys worshiping idols of the same gender? What does it have to do with sexual orientation?He regarded Lu Changdeng played by Chi Xiangzhen as a spiritual beacon, so how could it have anything to do with his interest in Chi Xiangzhen?

Chi Xiangzhen has so many male movie fans, does this person think that they all have unreasonable thoughts about him?

Crazy!

Due to mood swings, it took Qiao Lin twice as long as usual to finally change back into casual clothes.

When he walked out of the preparation room, Zhuo Dongliang was already waiting impatiently.

"I thought you were hiding in there crying after being hit by him again," he said.

Qiao Lin quickly walked up to him, dragged him and said in a low voice, "You can't imagine what he just said to me!"

Zhuo Dong was very curious: "What's the matter?"

Five minutes later, when the two of them went downstairs and got into the car again, Zhuo Dongliang, who had been thinking deeply, sat in the driver's cab and suddenly said: "He thinks so, it should be related to the content of the reality show you are going to participate in. Bar?"

"Ah?" Qiao Lin was puzzled, "Why? What makes his imagination so rich?"

"Haven't you heard?" Zhuo Dongliang turned his head and looked at him in surprise, "You guys have to pretend to be a newlywed couple on the show."

Qiao Lin was shocked.

Of course, he has heard of the general content of this program.

This reality show is quite special, called "Our Honeymoon Trip", and it invited a total of six guests, three men and three women.In the program, guests who were not familiar with each other will be divided into three groups according to the lottery, forming three pairs of virtual lovers and pretending to be married.After that, it is the so-called "honeymoon travel" that combines tourism and game interaction.In the process, the chemical reaction between the three pairs of guests is the biggest selling point of this show.

According to the public setting of the program group, the guests are of course combined in the form of a man and a woman.Besides Chi Xiangzhen, Qiao Lin didn't know who the other guests were.As a boy in his early twenties, he will inevitably have some anticipation and curiosity about the female guests who will cooperate in the future, and he even thought about finding true love in this way.

"It has been decided that you and Chi Xiangzhen will be in a group," Zhuo Dongliang said, "The script is all written. Didn't you say that the group will be determined by drawing lots? Then pretend that the male and female lottery is accidentally mixed up, and let you and Chi Xiangzhen Draw together. The remaining two pairs are actually arranged in advance, there is no random factor."

Qiao Lin stared at him blankly, his mouth opened wide.

"In the end, a pair of boys, a girl and a pair of opposite sex came out," Zhuo Dongliang said. "This will be a selling point for the show, and it will also help both of you, you understand? Didn't Liu Qihong tell you mentioned?"

Liu Qihong is Qiao Lin's manager.Qiao Lin tried his best to recall, and it seems that he did hear Liu Qihong mention it, but he was too emotional at the time, and many details entered his ears but did not enter his brain.

After same-sex marriage was recognized by law in the past few years, the public's prejudice against same-sex couples has improved a lot.According to Qiao Lin's knowledge, quite a few young girls are very keen on the ambiguous relationship between male artists.

"Is this the so-called... selling, selling, selling that or something?" he asked.

Zhuo Dongliang couldn't laugh or cry: "Otherwise, why did the two of you take the promotional photo together? Haven't you thought about it carefully?"

Qiao Lin was embarrassed to say that he thought it was a fan benefit for him.

"Don't worry, it's better for you. Except for a small number of people who like these things, the public will still acquiesce that you are heterosexual and won't take it seriously. For an idol artist of your age, it will be better if you are tied to a girl. Not good, don’t you think so?”

"I'm not worried about this..." Qiao Lin said.

He doesn't dislike selling rot.As a straight man, it is not too difficult for him to show the brotherhood between good buddies in front of the camera.After all, if you have no ghosts in your heart, it doesn't matter what kind of delusions the onlookers will have, and they may even find it quite interesting.

But when the object was Chi Xiangzhen, it felt completely different.

If he knew about this arrangement before today, he would definitely hold his head and shout "how can I match".But now, he had a strong anxiety.

No wonder Chi Xiangzhen reacted that way when he said he was "very looking forward to filming".Chi Xiangzhen obviously had some opinions on this job, but because of his professionalism, he had to bite the bullet and cooperate.He must now feel that he has something wrong in his heart and wants to take the opportunity to do something.

Wanting to go on a honeymoon trip with Chi Xiangzhen in the show as a newlywed couple with such a mentality, Qiao Lin's brain exploded just thinking about it.

"...can it be different," he protested weakly, "isn't this a trick to deceive the audience?"

"What's the use of telling me," Zhuo Dongliang looked sympathetic, "The agreement has been signed. I know, he looks difficult to get along with, and you will definitely have to bear it by then."

Qiao Lin slumped on the seat: "Do you think I should explain? If he knows that I don't mean it, he should be kinder to me, right?"

"Are you still deceiving yourself?" Zhuo Dongliang glanced at him, "Does he look like a friendly person?"

Even though the filter is heavy, Qiao Lin has to admit that Chi Xiangzhen really doesn't seem like a good person to get along with.

"It's so difficult for me," Qiao Lin sighed out the window, "I never thought that one day I would not want to see him so much again."

If you don't think about it, what should come will always come.

On the day of the official recording, a staff member from the program group knocked on his door early in the morning carrying a camera.

Qiao Lin, who had already sorted it out in advance, squeezed out all her acting skills and showed her signature sunny smile to the camera.

"Does Qiao Qiao know who else participated in the recording together?" The staff interviewed him on the way.

Qiao Lin shook his head: "I don't know, no one told me."

He was specifically told to act ignorant of the fact that Chi Xiangzhen would also participate in the recording.

"What are your expectations for the other half you are about to meet?" the staff asked.

Qiao Lin showed a slightly cautious expression.This time, it's not pretending at all.

"I hope we can... be more in tune, and get along well, right?" he said.

"So, what do you want to say to the other party?" The staff asked again.

Qiao Lin pondered for a while, then dryly replied, "How are you?"

"Qiao Qiao is so shy!" The staff laughed, "Are you nervous?

Qiao Lin also laughed: "I got married right away, and I have no experience, so I must be nervous."

He was more than nervous, his heart was pounding along the way.Soon, he will meet the idol he has admired for many years again.The great opportunity that was once dreamed of day and night made him uneasy now.

What if Chi Xiangzhen also winked at him during the recording process?How should I grasp the distance when I get along so that Chi Xiangzhen won't be misunderstood?Later, I have to pretend that I met my idol for the first time. What if the acting is not good?

In this way, he came to the recording site full of panic.

The program group set up the whole process with a sense of ritual.The staff first led him to a small room, and then left alone.

The room was small and simply furnished.There is a chair in the middle of the room, and a TV is hung on the wall facing the chair.About 5 minutes after sitting down, the TV screen came on.

On the screen, a beautiful girl dressed as a matchmaker appeared. On the table in front of the girl were two bamboo tubes with exaggerated decorations.She welcomed all the guests with a smile, and then showed the two bamboo tubes and the bamboo sticks inside, claiming that she put all the marriages in them.

"There are three sticks in each bamboo tube, which are pink, orange and blue when taken apart. Two people who draw the same color are a destined couple."

Qiao Lin slandered her, but she was destined, it was obviously an arranged marriage.

"Next, we will put... ah!"

With a wave of the matchmaker's hand, the wide sleeves hit the bamboo tube.The two bamboo tubes fell down together, and all the lottery inside were scattered together.The heads of the sticks are all covered, the color cannot be seen clearly, and they cannot be separated.

After a few seconds, the screen was cut off.

Soon, a staff member pretended to come in, expressing that they were not prepared enough and had no backup, and asked Qiao Lin if he would continue to draw lots.

Of course, Qiao Lin could only express that he didn't mind.

Five minutes later, a bamboo tube with three sticks left was brought in by the matchmaker.Qiao Lin knew that all the lottery tickets inside were of the same color, so he picked one at random and stood in front of the camera to open it.

"Pink," he waved the stick towards the camera, "it's kind of... er, dreamy."

The staff appeared immediately and led him to another room.

This time the room was quite weird, with walls on three sides and thick curtains on the other side.

After Qiao Lin followed the instructions and sat down on the chair facing the curtain, the door behind him was closed immediately, and then the originally bright light slowly dimmed.The whole space becomes hazy and ambiguous.

Above the head, Hong Niang's voice sounded.

"Now, your partner is on the other side of the curtain."

Qiao Lin straightened her back instantly upon hearing the words.

"You can't see each other temporarily, but you can hear each other's voices. Let's say hello first?"

The voice fell, and there was a dead silence in the room.

Seeing that Chi Xiangzhen didn't intend to take the initiative to speak, Qiao Lin could only bite the bullet and speak.

He cleared his throat and said tentatively, "Hello?"

There was finally movement in front of him, but the voice he heard was not familiar to him.In order to play tricks, the program group actually added special effects to the other party's voice.

"Hello."

The voice-over from the matchmaker above her head sounded again.

"Can you briefly introduce yourself other than your name?"

Qiao Lin didn't know what to say for a while, but he heard the other person speak before him this time.

"Except for the name? What else can I say... Is age okay? I am 29 years old and I am an actor by profession. Today I am here to record... Uh, no, I am here to marry you."

The author says:

interview time.

Did you expect to be in a group with your idol before?

Qiao Lin: (smirking) Hehe

happy?

Qiao Lin: It’s more about being scared...ah, if you broadcast this episode, please don’t add strange special effects to me!

(Screen special effects: blush) (Large cartoon font: Shame~)

What kind of person do you think Chi Xiangzhen is after getting along?

Qiao Lin: ...Special.Very very special.Ha ha I am too poor for words, I can't express the agitation in my heart, ha ha.
