Can I live with you [entertainment circle]

Cheng Xi and Shen Yi set the time at one o'clock in the afternoon. After insomnia as usual, he drank a large cup of coffee and went to the hotel lobby with Zhao Xiaotao to wait for Shen Yi's car to pick him up.

Shen Yi and her old club terminated the contract peacefully without any disputes, so until now, whenever Shen Yi has an event in Korea, the old club is willing to send people and cars to help her.

It happened that Cheng Xi wanted to let Zhao Xiaotao rest, so he didn't let him contact the car, and decided to take Shen Yi's car and go out for a stroll.

After waiting in the lobby for a long time, the car finally arrived. Seeing him getting into the car, Shen Yi asked in surprise, "You just came out like this?"

Cheng Xi looked at his T-shirt, sweatpants, and yezzy 350s, and there seemed to be nothing inappropriate, "Well, I want to wear something more comfortable for shopping."

"It's not a matter of comfort. Where did you put your hat, mask, and sunglasses? Don't tell me you didn't wear them."

Yes, Cheng Xi did not wear it.With a wave of his hand, he disapproved: "Don't worry, I'm not..."

He almost said "Tao Shiyan" casually, but the words turned around: "I'm not a big international star, and few people here can recognize me."

Shen Yi was speechless for a moment.

It seems that this guy doesn't have a B number for his popularity~

But it's already out, and it's a waste of time to go back to get things, so it's better to take a step and look at it.Taking chances, Shen Yi took him to a business district where Showrooms were relatively concentrated.

As a result, as soon as they got out of the car, before entering the store, several beautiful Korean girls immediately surrounded them!

Shen Yi's bag is very tight, to the point of not distinguishing between humans and animals, it is self-evident who these young ladies are coming for.Cheng Xi tried to communicate with them: "You misidentified Smecta!"

Ladies and sisters: "@#%￥&*%##￥&**"

Cheng Xi: "You guys are very cute, go on shopping, okay?"

Shen Yi: "..."

Listening to his mixed Chinese and English conversation, Shen Yi rolled her eyes, and finally assumed the position of translator in humiliation.

"They said that they have officially become fans of you, and they will start organizing their classmates to vote tonight."

"Thank you, Kangsang Amida."

"They ask what kind of girl you like."

Cheng Xi thought to himself: I don't like girls now, so he pursed his lips and didn't speak.

After taking photos, signing autographs, and satisfying the demands of this wave of new fans, Shen Yi dragged Cheng Xi into the shop quickly.

Cheng Xi prefers clothes and accessories with a stronger sense of design. He is usually busy with work, and it is inconvenient to show up in public as an artist, so he may not be able to go to the mall once a year.Buying clothes depends entirely on ordering and delivery from the cabinet sister. It has been a long time since I went shopping seriously.

Showroom is mostly designer brands, if you choose carefully, you can pick out very thoughtful clothes.He couldn't wait to start looking for it, and then he saw the cabinet lady running over and said in broken Chinese, "Mud is Chenxi?"

Facts have proved that it is useless to pretend to be stupid, Cheng Xi bit the bullet and replied: "It's me."

"I watched Ni's performance late at night, Ni is so cool, and she has a great figure!! You can choose any clothes here, and I will give Ni employees internal discounts!"

"...Thank you, but no need," Cheng Xi said politely, "Do you want to click or sign the mud?"

They just walked, signed, and took group photos. After visiting several showrooms, Cheng Xi and Shen Yi not only bought their favorite clothes at a discounted price, but also took away a lot of miscellaneous gifts and handicrafts.

Of course, Cheng Xi also had his abs watched secretly twice, and he became more and more angry that Andy would find him wearing that kind of costume.Only Shen Yi enjoyed the discount and the joy of getting something for nothing without any burden, and planned to bring her brother with her when she went shopping in the future.

After shopping for more than three hours, everyone was a little hungry, so Shen Yi hurriedly took Cheng Xi, his assistant, and Zhao Xiaotao to the barbecue restaurant she mentioned.

When ordering, looking at the crowded menu, Cheng Xi hurriedly stopped: "Sister Yi, enough is enough!"

"Not enough," Shen Yi continued flipping through the menu, "There will be three more people in a while."

"Oh..." Cheng Xi thought it was her local Korean friend, so he didn't ask further.

Shen Yi ordered a lot of dishes, and almost emptied the barbecue restaurant, which shows that he attaches great importance to the guests who will come soon.

In Korea for several years, Shen Yi has eaten at this restaurant countless times and has a very close relationship with the boss.Seeing that he put up the "Closed Business" sign, Shen Yi said gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle, for delaying your business."

The boss is a very kind middle-aged man, he waved his hands, "No, no, I don't close the door so it will easily affect the business."

Shen Yi: "Huh?"

"Last night, there was an Asian music festival in my store, and many female high school students came to watch it together," the boss slammed his mouth, "It's the dance next to you, and the roof of my small store was almost toppled by their screams. Hey Yigu, if I let them know that he's coming, I won't be arrested by the police for disturbing the law and order!"

Shen Yi was amused, and after laughing, he elbowed Cheng Xi: "Ah, brat, do you know that you attracted more fans last night?"

Cheng Xi: "..."

There was only one table of customers in the store, so the food was served quickly.Shen Yi refused the waiter's request to help with the barbecue. It happened that Zhao Xiaotao was the emperor of the barbecue world, so he took the plate automatically and consciously.

Taking advantage of his barbecue time, Shen Yi walked aside and made a phone call:

"Hey, where are you...I'll be there soon, that's fine, I'm afraid the food will be cold...He's here, I bought a lot of things...Well, we're at the third table when you enter the door, you can see it when you come in..."

She communicated with each other in Chinese throughout the whole process, and Cheng Xi couldn't help wondering—if it wasn't Shen Yi's Korean friend, who could it be?

After 5 minutes, he had an answer.

Tao Shiyan was fully armed, with black sunglasses and a black mask covering most of his face, followed by Zhang Jing and his manager Jin Kun.

Having not met in private for more than a month, Cheng Xi thought he would be calm when they saw each other again, but he didn't expect that the moment he smelled Tao Shiyan's breath, he still couldn't help but throbbed violently in his chest.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Tao Shiyan glanced at the remaining seats, and sat next to Cheng Xi very naturally.

"I think you did it on purpose," Shen Yi pouted, "You came here as soon as the meat was roasted, obviously you want to get something for nothing!"

"I couldn't find a place, so I was delayed on the road for a while," Tao Shiyan said cheerfully, "I'll treat you to this meal. Everyone can order whatever they want."

Shen Yi's assistant was a girl, and she covered her chest when she heard the words, she was so excited that she almost passed out: "Oh my god, I heard it right, Tao Yingdi wants to invite me to dinner? This is enough for me to go out and brag about it for the rest of my life." !!"

This reaction was real and exaggerated, and everyone at the table was amused and laughed.Amidst the laughter, Tao Shiyan looked at the boys around him.

She lost weight, her small arms became stronger again, and her face looked a little haggard, probably because she didn't have a good rest recently.

After watching for a few seconds, Tao Shiyan looked away and took the plate from Shen Yi.

They sat at the largest eight-person square table in the store. Shen Yi and his assistant sat on one side, Zhang Jing and Jinkun sat on the other side, and Zhao Xiaotao sat on the other side. Seven people were just right, not too crowded, and convenient for conversation.

It's been a long time since I saw Cheng Xi, Zhang Jing didn't think about him too much, and a series of questions came down: "Little Chengzi, I haven't heard from you on the Internet, what are you up to? Are you too tired after losing so much weight? How does it feel to get the best newcomer award? Has the company rewarded you? Have you been in a relationship recently? I was shocked by you yesterday, can you give me a chance to chase you?"

Of course, she has a stable boyfriend, and the last sentence is purely a joke.Cheng Xi was quite helpless when she asked her, so he cleared his throat.

Tao Shiyan sat up straight and pricked up his ears.

"After returning from the film crew, I have been in retreat preparing for the second album, so I can't find any information on the Internet; I lost weight specially for the sake of appearance, and I am not very tired; in fact, I would rather win the best album than the best newcomer award. awards; as for falling in love, you probably won’t have a chance..."

Tao Shiyan frowned suddenly.

Cheng Xi paused for a few seconds, "I have no intention of falling in love, and the company won't let me."

It turned out to be like this, Tao Shiyan's brows stretched again.

Hearing that there was no chance, Zhang Jing wiped her tears and slammed into the sky, looked at the ingredients on the baking tray, and couldn't help expressing her last "love": "Little Orange, everything should be fully cooked, my sister will pick it up for you~ "

"Shh-"

The second after Zhang Jing finished speaking, four pairs of chopsticks stretched out to the top of Cheng Xi's food plate.

The fastest speed is of course Zhao Xiaotao of the Barbecue Emperor. He puts the snowflake beef with the most even fat distribution and the juiciest taste for his artists. The second is Zhang Jing. She thinks Cheng Xi is too thin, so she chooses fat meat for him. There are more lamb chops; the third is the host Shen Yi, this restaurant has excellent grilled chicken feet, and she wants Cheng Xi to try it;

The last one, and the one closest to him, was Tao Shiyan beside him.The whole split-back lobster, including its shell and meat, was given to Cheng Xi by him.

"Time delay, it's too much, I only ordered two lobsters." Shen Yi was annoyed.

Tao Shiyan: "Boss, here are ten more lobsters."

...All right, Shen Yi shut up obediently.

In fact, Cheng Xi was also a little embarrassed. He didn't expect this to happen, so he could only reluctantly take it all.

But he is the youngest on the table, it is normal for him to be taken care of by his brothers and sisters, no one will say anything.

After the episode, everyone continued to chat and reminisce about the old days. Shen Yi and Zhang Jing talked the most. Cheng Xi was not a lively character, and he would only talk when he was cue. The rest of the time was spent dealing with the food piled up like a hill on the plate.

Tao Shiyan didn't participate in their discussion at all, he ate slowly, and glanced at the boy next to him from time to time.

It was probably the foundation laid during the trainee period. The boy ate very quickly, and he finished off the chicken feet and meat in a short time, except for the largest and most conspicuous lobster, which did not move a single bite.

...Don't you like to eat?

Tao Shiyan remained calm, and tentatively got him a piece of snowflake beef.The boy didn't say no, he took it normally, and moved the meat to the side of the plate with minimal movements.

He didn't touch those two pieces until the end of the dinner.Tao Shiyan was basically sure that boys didn't like lobster.

——I just don't like to eat the lobster he caught.

He suddenly lost his appetite.

There are so many people and the food is really super delicious, and the meal lasted until the evening.Shen Yi patted his stomach and wailed, "I'm going to get fat from eating too much! Let's go to the river to digest our food!"

Zhang Jing hesitated: "Will someone recognize it?"

"Don't worry, I know a good place with very few people, just suitable for a walk in the wind, babies come with me!"

Cheng Xi didn't want to go, after all, it was difficult for him to be with Tao Shiyan for a second.

But seeing Shen Yi's happy face, he couldn't say no to it, and finally got into the car with everyone and set off for the next destination.

The "good place" that Shen Yi said is hidden in a section of the river bank in the old residential area. The residents here are mostly elderly people, who rarely go out for activities at night. The whole embankment is clean and peaceful, and it is the most suitable place for a walk after dinner.

Just like at the dinner table, the three ladies were walking in the front chattering; Zhao Xiaotao and Jin Kun were discussing a recent talent show and walking in the middle; Half a meter away, walking slowly side by side with him.

The two haven't been in touch for a long time. Cheng Xi has been wanting to ask Tao Shiyan if he wants to make up for it these days. There were too many people at the dinner table just now and it was inconvenient to talk, but now is a good time.

"Teacher Tao," Cheng Xi called him, "that box... have you thought it through yet?"

Tao Shiyan: "No."

Cheng Xi nodded slowly, "If you make up your mind and tell me, I won't renege on my debt."

But what he didn't know was that Tao Shiyan didn't think about it, but he didn't think about it at all.

At the beginning, he put the box in the bathroom by himself and didn't tell Cheng Xi about its importance. He was also responsible for this matter, and Cheng Xi couldn't be blamed entirely.

Second, under his careful protection, even though the windmill was dry, it was finally broken into a few pieces of paper, which could never be put back together again.What's the point of finding out who's right and who's wrong when things are already ruined?

The third point is also the most important point.Just as Cheng Xi thought, he could feel that once the wooden box problem was resolved, it would be time for the children to completely cut off contact.

It has been seven years since I started filming and established a studio for seven years. It is normal for people around me to come and go.He has encountered countless cases of sudden enemies or disappearances, and he has long been accustomed to the intrigue and indifference of the entertainment industry.

Only this time, he didn't want to become strangers with Cheng Xi, not at all.

"Let's talk about it later," Tao Shiyan paused, "Xiao Xi, don't have too much trouble with me."

No points?What else can I do?

Cheng Xi thought angrily, should I tell you that I have missed you for a long time?

The embankment was not long, and it reached the end in half an hour.It's too easy for the actor, the queen, and the new first-line traffic to make a collective appearance, Shen Yi said: "It's getting late, let's stop here today, and we will get together later when we have time."

Cheng Xi said "Yes", "Sister Yi, I have to trouble you to take Brother Xiaotao and me back."

Originally, that was Shen Yi's plan, and she was about to say yes when she suddenly heard someone coughing softly behind her.

"...Ah, I don't think so, Xiao Cheng," Shen Yi quickly changed his words, "I'm so stuffed, I really want to go to the bathroom, and I can't help it anymore. I'll go back to the bathroom and let Shi Yan see you off!"

Before the words fell, the person had already run three meters away.

Cheng Xi was speechless - would a person who "couldn't bear it" dare to run so fast?

After today, Zhao Xiaotao has a new understanding of Cheng Xi's popularity.If he took a taxi or public transportation, he suspected that he and Cheng Xi might not be able to go back to the hotel.

"Cheng Er," Zhao Xiaotao said weakly, "Let's go back in Tao Yingdi's car."

Cheng Xi knew the pros and cons, took a deep breath, and gave a soft "hmm".

The result was okay, Zhang Jing was probably tired on the way back, so she didn't continue to chat with him.Tao Shiyan didn't know what he was thinking, and there was no movement when he looked out the window.Jin Kun and Cheng Xi had no friendship, so they exchanged a few words very politely, the car was quiet most of the time, and the embarrassing scene imagined did not appear.

Half an hour later, Zhao Xiaotao directed the driver to stop by the side of the road. After thanking Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi got out of the car, but turned around to find that Tao Shiyan had followed him, saying that he would take him to the door of the room.

I survived the whole afternoon, within a few minutes, Cheng Xi didn't say anything, and stepped into the elevator first with his legs raised.

After as long as a century, the elevator door finally opened with a "ding".Cheng Xi was instantly relieved, and smiled: "Mr. Tao, thank you for sending us back, or I don't know what to do. Please feel free to come to me if you need help in the future."

What he said was polite and restrained, and he made a gesture of gratitude to his senior. If it were Lin Xuefeng, he would definitely praise him for his humility and gratitude.

Tao Shiyan felt his throat was so dry that he couldn't make any sound.He nodded silently, watching the child drift away.

Tao Shiyan's hotel was not far from Cheng Xi, and within 5 minutes' drive, the three of them in the studio returned to their residences.

Zhang Jing's room was on the ninth floor, while Jin Kun and Tao Shiyan were on the twentieth floor.When she went down, Jin Kun looked puzzled, and patted Tao Shiyan on the shoulder: "Brother, do you want me to have a drink with you?"

It was only then that Tao Shiyan realized that he had been out of focus for too long and was discovered.His usual expression, "No, it's okay."

"Or..." Jin Kun suggested, "It's fine for me to chat with you, we've known each other for so many years, you won't trust me, right?"

Tao Shi hesitated for a moment. What he was worst at was talking. In his opinion, talking out was a sign of weakness. A strong person would naturally find a way to digest his emotions.

But it may be that the authorities are obsessed, some emotions he really can't digest, and the more they ferment, the more serious they become, and the more fermented, the more serious they become. If they are allowed to ferment, I really don't know what they will develop into.

Swiping the card to open the door, Tao Shiyan acquiesced to Jin Kun's move to follow in.He took off his coat, not thinking of entertaining the manager, and sank deeply into the sofa, pinching the center of his eyebrows with his fingers and rubbing gently.

Having been classmates for four years and working together for seven years, Jin Kun has seen him in high spirits, indifferent and self-sufficient, and wily, but he has never seen him as he is now...fragile, powerless, and depressed...

I don't know what words to use to describe it, but all the way to the present with a strong halo, there is no doubt that Tao Shiyan's heart is extremely strong.

Then what a terrible thing it must be to make him look like this.

Jin Kun took out two cans of beer and pushed one in front of him, "Shi Yan, what's the matter? Tell me."

Tao Shiyan pushed the beer back, he likes to think in a sober state, "It's really nothing."

Even if he didn't say anything, Jin Kun could guess three points: "It's related to Cheng Xi?"

"...Yes, it's related to Cheng Xi."

Knowing his brother's character, Jin Kun didn't press him.After a long silence, Tao Shiyan put down his hands, and briefly recounted to Cheng Xi what happened when he knocked over the wooden box.

Of all the people around Tao Shiyan, only Jin Kun knew of the existence of the little windmill.His eyelids twitched, he realized something, and said cautiously: "Shi Yan, let me ask you a few questions."

"Say."

"First, do you blame Cheng Xi for breaking the windmill?"

Tao Shiyan: "No complaint."

"Well, the second. What would you do to me if I broke the windmill?"

Tao Shiyan raised his eyebrows: "Make you disappear from this world."

Jin Kun: "..."

Jin Kun resisted the urge to resign on the spot, "Then the last question, if you were asked to choose the most unacceptable of 'never find the little windmill' and 'never see Cheng Xi', which would you choose?"

Tao Shiyan did not hesitate: "I will never see Cheng Xi."

After answering, before Jin Kun answered, Tao Shiyan was stunned.

Why would he...subconsciously choose this option?

Tao Shiyan closed his eyes and carefully examined the reasons why he was obsessed with finding the small windmill.Undoubtedly, in his heart, Little Windmill was already his relative.If he can find that boy, he is willing to give him all his wealth and let him live the most carefree life in the world.

If you can't find it, it doesn't seem so difficult to accept, as long as you know that Little Windmill is still living happily.

But on the contrary, whenever he thinks that he will never see Cheng Xi, his heart feels like a big hand is clenched hard, and the pain makes it difficult to breathe.

...It turned out that in his heart, without knowing it, Cheng Xi had far surpassed the position of the little windmill.

Yes, over the years, he has never stopped looking for the little windmill.For Xiao Fengche, he gave up Tao's family business, gave up his comfortable and prosperous life, and entered the entertainment industry to work hard, just to stand at the top and let Xiao Fengche see him at a glance.

Because of the lack of clues, "finding the little windmill" seems to have become his most persistent obsession in his long life.

That's right, it is obsession, not the direction of the heart or the pull of love.

The sound of beer hops bursting in the air was psychedelic and graceful. Tao Shiyan opened his eyes and suddenly smiled——

There is one and only one person who worries him now, and that person is Cheng Xi.

He has long been deeply in love with that red-haired kid, and wants to make him shy, make him blush, want to see him happy, want... to possess him completely.

Inextricable.
