Chapter 20 "But You Are Different"
The presidential suite of Xianji Hotel is very large. It is hot in Jiangcheng in summer, but the indoor air conditioner is so strong that people can't help but want to sneeze.Xia Zhizhu didn't find the remote control of the central air conditioner. Fortunately, the fabric of the new suit that Nie Ziyu sent was of good quality, and he didn't feel too cold in the cold wind.
The room was deserted, Xia Zhizhu sat alone in the corner of the living room, looked sideways at the foggy summer night starry sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows for a while, picked up his mobile phone again, and clicked on Weibo to refresh several times.
After repeatedly confirming that Linlang's hot search entries had nothing to do with him, Sean, Xingyan, and Xi Zhao, Xia Zhizhu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Wei Mingxi hasn't done anything recently, except for the unanswered WeChat message a few days ago, he seems to have disappeared from Xia Zhizhu's life all of a sudden.
However, it was always like this before. Xia Zhizhu is used to his irregular demands and abuse, but at least before the next arrival, the shooting and announcements are all going smoothly. Xiao Zheng is still holding various announcements this afternoon. Send data and tell him excitedly: Brother Xia, more and more people like you!are you happy?
At that time, Xia Zhizhu nodded in coordination, but he had no sense of the fact that "he is liked" in his heart.
The accident that happened just now was not an accident.
The Cheng family has hosted banquets for so many years, and there has never been such an omission that almost caused a fatal accident. The auction party in the banquet hall downstairs is still going on as usual, and the simultaneous investigation in the background is so efficient that it is almost immediately checked from the monitoring. It turned out that this was actually a premeditated crime.
The chandelier that fell in the lounge was tampered with in advance, and the perpetrators were the staff who were on shift in Xianji today.
When questioned by the police, the other party confessed to everything he had done, and there was an unsympathetic fanaticism in his tone.What was impressive was that the well-dressed man said with bright eyes: "I just want Sean to be hurt because of me!"
Xia Zhizhu had met illegitimate fans before, but fortunately, apart from chasing his car, following him to the hotel, and checking in repeatedly after getting his itinerary, there was no such fatal one as today.
Some couldn't understand it, but it was only a small group of people after all, and Xia Zhizhu would not be disappointed with his work in the entertainment industry, after all, he didn't expect much.
But what about the rest of the hard candies that love him?Xia Zhizhu was occasionally a little confused.
Maybe it's all an illusion, like chasing a dream.Although Xia Zhizhu is not a dream child who was elected by the people, his external conditions are indeed good, and his strength is not too weak. It should not be particularly difficult to like his image after being packaged and displayed in the public eye. thing.
It's just... Xia Zhizhu thought, it's just that they don't know who they really are.
If he knew that he was actually an embarrassing freak with a strange disease, no one would like him.It is because of knowing this that Wei Mingxi has always been so confident, isn't he?
Fortunately, in the past, Xia Zhizhu didn't care about his career so much.
But now...he has an extra contract connected with Xi Zhao.
Xia Zhizhu lowered his eyelids, thinking of the warm breath of the man leaning on his shoulder just now, he raised his hand uncontrollably to touch the inexplicably hot ears, but at the same time, the bottom of his heart, which was the source of blood supply, sank .
Tonight's misfortune and luck have reminded Xia Zhizhu: there are restless factors in him, which may be detonated from the outside at any time. Nothing crazy.And judging from Mr. Xi's performance just now, he may need a... more secure partner for mutual assistance.
Xia Zhizhu looked at his palm expressionlessly, the lines there were very shallow, and it was said that it was a sign of poor life and few blessings.
If possible, Xia Zhizhu thought, he still hopes that he can stand beside Mr. Xi for a little longer.
It would be fine if he never got it, but now he finally has a chance to have some connection with the other party, after all, it is because of greed.
But Xia Zhizhu is very obedient, not too much, as long as he has a little more memory, he can remember it for a long time.
If not...it doesn't matter.
After all, Xia Zhizhu is very convinced that until the day when he becomes a grandfather and reaches the end of his life, when he closes his eyes, he can still play the clean and slender fingertips of Xi Zhao holding the cake on the night of his 23rd birthday. Vividly in front of my eyes.
With a beep, the outermost door was swiped open with a magnetic card.
Xia Zhizhu raised his head reflexively, his heartbeat accelerated, and he almost immediately recognized who the footsteps on the sound-absorbing carpet belonged to.
It's the pace that is never in a hurry, but can easily shatter his pool of moonlight just by relying on the breeze of his sleeves.
Mr. Xi sounds much better, but it doesn't seem to be completely good. The occasional sluggishness makes him seem to have just walked out of the desert on foot, looking at the oasis in front of him, hesitantly wondering whether it is a mirage.
He finally reached the place where Xia Zhizhu was only separated by a fish tank.
Azure lights shine from the bottom of the insulating glass, and colorful tropical fish swim dull-eyed among the artificial corals.
The two spoke almost in unison with the same hoarse voice.
Xia Zhizhu: "Are you okay?"
Xi Zhao: "Are you okay?"
They fell silent together, and spoke together again, this time saying the same thing: "I'm sorry."
Standing in the dark, Xi Zhao blinked, and didn't realize why Xia Zhizhu said that, but he expressed his apology immediately: "I'm sorry, because of Xi Yue, you were almost hurt tonight." harm."
Xia Zhizhu shook his head.
Everyone is a victim, it doesn't have to be.
The pointer of apology turned again to another person.
"Mr. Xi," Xia Zhizhu paused, "I'm sorry, I've been keeping something from you."
His voice was a bit rough, but it was not so difficult to utter the next words through the cover of the fish tank.
Xia Zhizhu took a deep breath and said frankly: "My background is not very good."
Or to put it bluntly, he shouldn't have been born at all.
The source of the name "Ruan Tang" was indeed coaxed by him. Ruan Mi has been away from him for too long, and the image of his mother in memory is more from Natsume Yoko, and even if no one told this child who was orphaned early, He can also probably imagine how painful Ruan Mi was, unwilling to torture himself repeatedly, and finally gave birth to him.
But she was still in too much pain, even forcing herself out of this world so early.
Xia Zhizhu can almost foresee how his current image will collapse after his life experience is exposed. Once the beautiful god statue is shattered from the high seat, the worshiping crowd will immediately raise their spears and short cannons to attack mercilessly .
He's seen too many of these things.
The long eyelashes cast shadows on the bottom of the eyes, Xia Zhizhu whispered: "Miss Ci also knows about this."
The star and the agent are one to some extent, the company takes the risk for him, and he should also honestly let the other party evaluate whether he is worth all this.When he had a long talk with Song Ci for the first time and decided to hand over his future to the other party, Xia Zhizhu told the other party in advance that he was not the safest choice.
He gave Song Ci a chance to choose again, and now he should also recruit Xi.
And if necessary, as one of the performers of this other contract, Xia Zhizhu is willing to fully confess to Mr. Xi all the secrets he still kept back then.
Although because of timidity, this frankness came a bit late, but it was late, but can Mr. Xi forgive his previous timidity and narrow thinking?
"Xia Zhizhu," Xi Zhao said with difficulty, "You shouldn't believe me."
He refused.
"People should protect themselves first," Xi Zhao said.
Xia Zhizhu's eyes fell on the coral bush at the bottom of the tank, and said softly: "But you are different, aren't you?"
Xi Zhao: "... what?"
Xia Zhizhu thought for a while, and felt that what he said was correct: "We are mutual aid partners, and we signed an agreement."
His tone was so natural that even Xia Zhizhu himself didn't know it, and there was a trace of innocence in that naturalness that he had never had before, which only a favored child would blurt out.
The lights in the room were not turned on, and they couldn't see each other's expressions, but all the sounds in the night were amplified several times, Xia Zhizhu was surprised to hear that Xi Zhao seemed to smile, and replied in a low voice like a coaxing idiot: "Yeah ,you're right."
Xia Zhizhu suddenly felt embarrassed: "Mr. Xi, you..."
Xi Zhao interrupted him: "You."
Xia Zhizhu didn't react: "Huh?"
Xi Zhao is best at drawing inferences: "We are parties A and B of the contract, and the relationship is equal. There is no need to have such a sense of distance."
Xia Zhizhu couldn't hold back his eyes and said kindly, "Thank you."
Xi Zhao put the box in his hand on the small table beside him, and changed the subject calmly: "Remember to take it away."
Xia Zhizhu heard the sound of strange objects touching the table and asked, "What?"
Xi Zhao: "Lily just took a picture downstairs, and it's for you."
He has so little experience in being nice to people, and he hardly knows any other skills except to constantly give the best things around him to the other party.
"There is still the second half of the party." Xi Zhao's voice was farther away, as if he was walking inward, "Go, Xi Yue is waiting for you outside."
"Mr. Xi." Xia Zhizhu stopped him.
Xi Zhao's footsteps paused: "What?"
Across from the pool of tropical fish that couldn't be seen, Xia Zhizhu put his hands behind his back, as anxious as a gambler who just finished exchanging weights: "Next weekend, can we meet again?"
"of course."
After answering him, Xi Zhao took out the medicine box he carried with him from his arms, tried his best to maintain a steady pace and walked into the innermost bedroom.
The door was locked, and the light from the fish tank only illuminated one person.
But Xia Zhizhu didn't know that for the answerer who almost ran away, what he just asked was actually a multiple-choice question.
The box on the small table was very simple, the boy walked around the fish tank, opened it and saw an antique quartz watch that couldn't be more familiar.
It was a coming-of-age gift from Yoko.It was also the quartz watch that Xia Zhizhu put on the auction tray together with the invitation and wanted to give it up, but was given a new life by Xi Zhao and returned to him.
The moment Xia Zhizhu put the watch strap back on his wrist, Xia Zhizhu's eyes were blurred for a moment.
Luckily he doesn't cry.
Xia Zhizhu walked slowly to the door, imagining the date he was going to go to next weekend, unscrewed the cold door lock, and stepped into the bright and bright scenery in the corridor.
See Weekend?
See Weekend.
The room was deserted, Xia Zhizhu sat alone in the corner of the living room, looked sideways at the foggy summer night starry sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows for a while, picked up his mobile phone again, and clicked on Weibo to refresh several times.
