The stars do not shine [entertainment circle]

On Sunday, Qi Xing's coffee shop had a lot of traffic, going back and forth, both shops were full of people, most of them were lovers and sisters, sitting in the shop chatting and falling in love.

Qi Xing stayed at the shop in Seocho District for a whole day, watching part-timers work. Although the shop here was full, the traffic flow was not as large as that in Cheongdam-dong, so it closed before [-] o'clock, and there was a variety show filming the next day. Qi Xing went to Qingtan Cave to watch the part-time students clean up.

The variety show will be filmed on the second floor. Qi Xing first asked people to move the large carpet and sofa on the second floor to the other side. After a thorough cleaning, they moved back to the far side. The carpet was rolled up and temporarily put it in the storage room because it was not easy to clean. .

"By the way, Minwen, come to the store at 07:30 tomorrow to prepare, and then watch the part-timers clean the first floor again before closing the door."

She patted Jin Minwen on the shoulder: "Thank you, I have a dinner party, let's go first."

She invited Jin Xi and other friends to eat Japanese food tonight, but the main thing was to chat.

Qi Xing didn't eat much, while chatting with friends, he was also busy replying to Quan Zhilong's message.

Quan Zhilong: What shooting?

Qi Xing: It's the SBS variety show. It will be filmed on the second floor tomorrow. I'll go to the store to watch it early in the morning.

Quan Zhilong: RM?

Qi Xing: Yes, it was the PD who contacted me.

Qi Xing: And I also hope that I can be on camera. At that time, I didn't know about the messy things in street photography, so I did it. Now I regret it.

Qi Xing: I'm just an ordinary person, what kind of mirror do I have?

Quan Zhilong: Don't mind these things, as long as you don't enter the circle, those things won't affect you for too long.

Qi Xing: I know brother.

Quan Zhilong: Still eating?

Qi Xing looked up and looked around, the party was full of girls, but except her, everyone had already drunk sake, especially Jin Xi, whose cheeks were already flushed.

Qi Xing: I'm drinking, now I'm the only one sober.

Quan Zhilong was also having a dinner party, and also drank a lot of wine, but his mind was still sober, but he would say some things that are usually difficult to say after drinking.

Quan Zhilong: I miss you.

Quan Zhilong: I have always wanted to say thank you to you, because it is you that made me feel pure, no use, no benefit, just Quan Zhilong and Qi Xing, I am an ordinary person in front of you.

When Qi Xing saw this, he didn't know how to reply.

This is a confession, right?

Quan Zhilong didn't mind that she didn't reply, and continued to send messages: You like me too, right, I know, so I don't force you to give me an answer, but I want to know, what are your concerns?

Those concerns.

Qi Xing thought that the premise of all her concerns was for GD, not Quan Zhilong.

If those messy external factors are thrown away, she also wants to treat Quan Zhilong as an ordinary person.

But those words that Jin Xi said kept appearing in his mind again and again. They were not from the same world. The two had different working environments and different circles of friends.

She didn't reply, but was in a daze until Qi Xing touched her arm: "What are you in a daze for?"

Another friend also said, "Why are you suddenly quiet?"

Qi Xing supported his head: "I'm annoying."

Several other friends looked at each other and said in unison: "Are you in love?"

Qi Xing:?

"How do you know I'm in love? Because I'm annoying?"

"Look at your troubled look." One of the friends said, "It looks like you are trapped by love."

Qi Xing sighed leisurely: "Oh."

"Really?"

"Are you in a relationship? Who is the other party? Do we know each other?"

The people around asked incessantly, Qi Xing didn't say who it was, but he confided his troubles to them: "The two of us are not from the same world, will we be together for a long time?"

Jin Xi's view is still from the perspective of protecting her, and she thinks that she and Quan Zhilong will not last long, so she advises her to break up in time.

Others think differently, they don’t think about Qi Xing like Jin Xi, they just say they like it and they have to try boldly, one of their friends said: “You have little experience in love, no matter what, it’s always good to gain some experience Yes, you can’t shrink into your shell just because you’re afraid of being hurt?”

Qi Xing supported his head, thinking that what they said was also reasonable, Jin Xi said beside him: "You make your own decisions, others are just suggestions."

She nodded.He lowered his head and picked up the phone again.

Qi Xing: All my worries are only about GD, brother.

Qi Xing: You get along with me as Quan Zhilong, so I can let go of all those concerns.

Qi Xing has never been a tangled person, on the contrary, she makes decisions very straightforwardly, and if she makes up her mind, she will go all the way to the dark side.

----

Before eight o'clock on Monday morning, Qi Xing arrived at the store. Because she had to be on camera, she specially matched a suitable casual suit. When she arrived at the store, Jin Minwen and the part-time students had arrived and were making final preparations.

The people from the program team arrived first to prepare for the opening layout and set up the camera. The PD took the script and checked the process with Qi Xing for the last time: "Every member will order when they enter the store, and you can place orders normally, and there is still a program recording waiting for you." In , you will be required to participate in some small games, it is not difficult, and you are the dominant player, so don't be nervous."

PD smiled and said, "Thank you for your willingness to cooperate."

Qi Xing discussed the details with the PD again, and then went back to the lounge to rearrange his appearance, and then stood there waiting for the program members to arrive one by one.

The first few people who arrived just thought she was a shop assistant, but Lee Kwang Soo who came in later recognized him at a glance, and said in surprise: "Hello, I know you." He widened his eyes: "A very popular person recently !"

As soon as he saw the camera, he would enter the shooting mode, and had a few chats with Qi Xing.

Qi Xing was a little nervous at the beginning, but later on he relaxed a lot, and he was able to joke a few words with everyone during the recording of the show.

There were even members' managers who asked her privately if she had any plans to become an artist. These managers and members had different perspectives, and their vision was more tricky than the other. In addition, they recognized that she was very popular on the Internet, and she was from H country. The kind of gentle and generous appearance of favorability makes her want to become an actress.

Qi Xing declined one by one.

The opening recording ended soon, Qi Xing said goodbye to the members and took a group photo.

The program team deliberately left several people to help clean and restore the store to its original state.

Now Qi Xing has no idea how much attention this program will bring to her and her shop after two weeks' broadcast.

----

Quan Zhilong started to feel dizzy after sending the message last night, and he slept until the afternoon when he got home. The aftereffect of the hangover gave him a headache when he just woke up.

Raising his hand and knocking on his head, he opened his eyes with difficulty, turned over and picked up his phone to look at it. There were many unread messages, but he ignored all of them and looked directly at the messages from Qi Xing.

He woke up instantly.

What does it mean?

Without thinking about anything else, he sat up and called Qi Xing.

Qi Xing was busy in the shop in Seocho District, his mobile phone was set to Do Not Disturb, he was busy with the computer, and it was already two hours later when he saw the missed call.

Just as he was about to call back, the third call came. Quan Zhilong on the other side didn't know what he was doing, and his voice was a bit muffled: "Why are you only answering the phone now?"

"I was just busy."

"That's it." Quan Zhilong said, "Look outside."

Qi Xing was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to meet Quan Zhilong's eyes accurately outside the window.

Even though Quan Zhilong was wearing a fisherman hat and a black mask, he could only see a pair of eyes, but anyone who looked at him would know that he was Quan Zhilong.

Qi Xing hurriedly stood up and was about to go out, and said in a low voice, "Why is brother here?"

"Don't come out." Quan Zhilong said, "I'm afraid of being photographed. I'll go first and make an appointment to meet, okay?"

"Where is the appointment?" Qi Xing said worriedly, "Did anyone recognize you?"

"It's just two illegitimate children, don't get in the way." Quan Zhilong didn't care about the bedbugs hiding in the dark: "There is a store opened by my friend in Jiangnan District, go there, and leave in 15 minutes. I will send you the detailed address." send you."

The illegitimate student not far away just watched Quan Zhilong and Qi Xing talking on the phone through the glass, then took out his mobile phone, one took a video and the other took a photo.

These two are professional illegitimate students who make a living by selling the privacy of idols, because Quan Zhilong never cares about illegitimate children, and the two have already made a lot of money by selling Quan Zhilong's privacy.

It is also getting bigger and bigger.

Hanging up the phone, Quan Zhilong turned around and left. After getting into the car, he glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the familiar car. He curled his lips in disdain, and slipped the two illegitimate students to the back door of the restaurant, and then let Qi Xing walk through the front door. Enter.

The two illegitimate students were guarding the back door, how could he have thought that Qi Xing entered through the front door openly.

Quan Zhilong was sitting cross-legged on the mat, propped his head on one hand, looked down at his phone, Qi Xing opened the door and took off his shoes, and stepped on the straw mat with bare feet: "Brother?"

"Come here?" Quan Zhilong looked up at her: "Come here."

Qi Xing glanced at the seat beside him, and sat directly opposite him.

Quan Zhilong laughed lazily: "Order first."

Qi Xing took the menu, she wasn't very hungry today, she only ordered beef soup and didn't ask for anything else.

"Is there anything brother can do with me?" Qi Xing asked, "Why did you find me in the store?"

"If you don't answer the phone call, I'll go to Cheongdam-dong first. Your clerk told me you're in Seocho District."

Qi Xing nodded: "Is the person with you a reporter?" She suddenly realized: "Then I won't be photographed when I come in, right?"

"No." Quan Zhilong said: "Whether it's an illegitimate student or a reporter, I took them to the back door to squat. You come in through the front door, no one is watching."

Qi Xing nodded, Quan Zhilong was really skilled at hiding from reporters, and he did it a lot.

"What's the meaning of the message you sent me last night?" Quan Zhilong said with a smile, "En?"

Qi Xing bit his lips uncomfortably: "Just... what do you think it means?"

"Does that mean you agree to associate with me?" Quan Zhilong was actually a little nervous, pinching the cigarette case with his fingers: "Associate with Quan Zhilong?"

Qi Xing was a little ashamed by his blunt words, his fair ears turned red all the way until his face was also slightly pink, his eyes were a little watery, and he and Quan Zhilong looked at each other Then he lowered his eyes in panic.

How ashamed to be like this.

Quan Zhilong laughed, and moved to Qi Xing's side: "Just nod or shake your head, do you want to associate with Quan Zhilong?"

Qi Xing wanted to hide, but Quan Zhilong put his arms around her shoulders and pressed her into his arms, Qi Xing became motionless, and then nodded slowly.

The moment Quan Zhilong saw her nodding, his mood became extremely happy and excited. He hadn't experienced such ups and downs for a long time, and couldn't help laughing. He trapped her in his arms, bowed his head and said, "Quan Zhilong's girlfriend?"

Qi Xing was even more ashamed by what he said, moved his shoulders and began to struggle, Quan Zhilong felt that the person in his arms was about to explode, so he let her go: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

He got up and returned to his place: "Get ready to eat."

But he was in an extremely happy mood at this time. This kind of happiness and excitement that filled his chest was the kind of enthusiasm that only he had when he was a high school student. But since his debut, this emotion has gradually disappeared, until Qi Xing just agreed to be his. girlfriend.

Perhaps because of Qi Xing's influence, his feelings and mentality became purer.

Quan Zhilong on the opposite side stared at Qi Xing without blinking, how could she not feel it, the room was too quiet, she couldn't bear it, stood up and said she was going to the bathroom.

This store has a Japanese-style decoration style, with a total of two floors, using log colors.There is a miniature landscape in the middle of the second floor. Qi Xing took a look inside when he passed by, and there were some beautiful little fishes in it.

After dinner, Qi Xing still left openly through the front door, while Quan Zhilong waited for 10 minutes before leaving through the back door, and the two bastards immediately followed.

Quan Zhilong was in a good mood, and he didn't bother to play hide-and-seek with those two people. He flicked the steering wheel a few times before throwing them off and returning home.

As soon as he got home, he got into the small studio, made a string of bracelets full of "stars" and put on an INS.

Fans who didn't know it would only think it was a string of bracelets, but after giving it to friends who knew it, such as Shengli, they asked in the group chat room in less than 10 minutes: Should Brother Zhilong and Xingxing treat them to dinner?

Quan Zhilong: Did I say not to call her Xing Xing?

Victory: ...Sorry.

Victory: Should Brother Zhilong have dinner with his sister-in-law?

Sun: I said it a long time ago. Xing Xing said that he can make a hot pot meal for everyone.

Quan Zhilong: "..."

He didn't want to call them together!

This piece of news blew up everything, and the time was set in less than 1 minute.

Choi Seung Hyun: I'm free tomorrow.

Sun: I'm free too.

Dacheng: I'm free.

Victory: Where is Miss Xiaolin?

Min Hyo-rim: I'm free.

Quan Zhilong: ...

Victory: I'll call my sister-in-law right now!

Quan Zhilong couldn't take it anymore, and sent a voice message in the chat room: "Victory, shut up."

Victory was so cowardly that he stopped talking.

Quan Zhilong: Can I add her in?

The group agreed unanimously, and in the next second, Qi Xing's account was pulled into the chat room.

Quan Zhilong: The members of @齐星 want to eat hot pot, and they are all free tomorrow, is that okay?

Qi Xing was still a little dazed when he was pulled into the chat room. When he opened it, there were only six people in it. Knowing that this was their separate group, he replied: "Yes, do you want to eat? Tell me, I'll buy it." .

Cui Shengxian: I ate a dish at a hot pot restaurant in Country Z before. It was called Xiao Crispy Pork. It was delicious.

Dacheng: Anything is fine as long as it’s spicy!

In the group, you said each sentence, and finally Qi Xing replied: "Okay, I understand."

Quan Zhilong's video call also followed, Qi Xing hurriedly turned on the light and found a place with good light to pick it up: "Brother."

"Maybe our manager will be here tomorrow. You will be very tired to prepare alone. I'll help you early in the afternoon, okay?" Quan Zhilong asked, "Don't worry about other things, they have nothing to do with you."

Qi Xing responded: "The cars of strangers in the neighborhood are not allowed to enter. My brother will send you the license plate of your car tomorrow morning. I will go to the property to register, and you can just go in."

Speaking of this, Qi Xing said: "Give me the license plate numbers of other people, and I can apply for a 24-hour temporary pass."

"Okay." Quan Zhilong responded, "Did you see my INS?"

"I see." Qi Xing said, "I also want a string of star bracelets!"

"Okay." Quan Zhilong raised his wrist to show her: "Is it exactly the same as this one or something else?"

Quan Zhilong stood up and walked to the studio: "I can do it for you right now."

"It doesn't have to be exactly the same as this one." Qi Xing said, "But there must be stars!"

"What's your favorite color then?"

"En..." Qi Xing tilted his head and thought for a while: "Yellow!"

The two chatted on video, and in another chat room, Qi Xing and Quan Zhilong suddenly disappeared, and they knew it was a private chat, Dacheng expressed disdain for this: Only Brother Zhilong has a girlfriend, right?

Choi Seung Hyun: You didn't.

Victory: I didn't.

Sun: I have a wife.

Dacheng: ...

He's going to shut himself up!
