Chapter 69
It was a gentle breeze and the temperature was warming up at noon. It was a good weather for sleeping in at home.
But Shao Si had to get up from the bed, pack up, and go to the Japanese restaurant to make an appointment.
Qi Ming booked a private room in advance yesterday. This store is secret and safe, and of course the price is not cheap.
Shao Si walked in with full arms. Before he could speak, he was recognized by the front desk with sharp eyes: "Mr. Shao, please go here. The private room you booked is on the second floor. Do you need to help you bring cold dishes first? Do you drink tea or drink?"
Shao Si took off his mask, took care of his hair that was crushed by the hat, and said, "No, just boiled water."
[Does the little girls like to be late?] The system accompanied Shao Si and waited for a while, watching the agreed time pass twenty minutes, but the legendary "Qi Xiayang" appeared.
Shao Si wore a black sweatshirt today, and a ripped cowboy on his lower body, who was not afraid of the cold. After a game, he put his phone on the table and drank two more sips of water: [I am so annoyed, I just want to take this attitude. Even if this drama is not a copycat, I won’t accept it.]
[By the way, the female lead you reminded the day before yesterday, how is it? Will it be effective after you remind me?]
[You said An Yin?] Shao Si paused and said, [What effect can it have?]
About a week ago, the official TV series' official Weibo account had released a complete set of makeup photos of An Yin playing the heroine. From her youth to her final transformation into a demon, there were three sets of styles.
When choosing a role, things like choosing a role are often finalized with the actors, and they will be announced and officially announced to the audience after signing the payroll.
To avoid the unnecessary misunderstanding of "So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-S
Shao Si bent his finger and tapped it on the table a few times. Thinking of An Yin's recent promotional statements related to "A lifetime, one pair of people" on Weibo yesterday, he suddenly stopped when he knocked on the table: [Her status, the pay for a movie is about 50 million, double the breach of contract, and a penalty of hundreds of millions of yuan, do you think she can afford it?]
An Yin is a good person, but she is not a fool either.
With a contract, she has no choice.
In addition, these "disharmonious" voices are a minority after all. She still has many fans who are dedicated to supporting her and waiting for the work to come out.
Even if she took the wrong path, she had to walk one way to the dark with too many things on her back.
Qi Xiayang was half an hour late. Shao Si didn't want to show her a good look, but for the sake of convenience, he stood up to greet her: "Ms. Qi."
Qi Xiayang was wearing a professional outfit, a black hip skirt, a short suit with a white chiffon, a bow hanging on his chest. He had long curly hair, his facial features were not very good-looking, but he was also upright, with delicate makeup, and when he smiled, there were two shallow dimples: "Sorry, I'm late, there was a bit of traffic jam on the road."
The two of the Qi family really have a common ability - they both have a very deceptive face.
"It's okay, I've just arrived not long ago." Shao Si poured her a glass of water, then spread the menu, pushed it over on the table, "What do you want to eat?"
Qi Xiayang took the water and gently stroked his fingers on the menu. The fingernails were painted with vermilion nail polish, and a few rhinestones stuck to the head. Every time they stroked, they flashed Shao Si's eyes: "Then let's have two servings of tuna and add slices of ginger."
Originally, they didn't come for the meal this time, so Shao Si ordered a few dishes, closed the menu, and said to the waiter waiting, "That's all for the time being, please trouble you."
The waiter took a note of paper, bowed slightly, and quit: "We will serve you as soon as possible. Call us directly if you need anything."
During the meal, Qi Xiayang frequently looked at Shao Si.
Shao Si did not seem too warm, but still looked cold. He just took care of her in action and pushed the things she liked to eat quietly into her.
These actions obviously satisfy Qi Xiayang's vanity to a large extent. She smiled shyly: "It's okay, I can catch it myself."
The man opposite can almost be said to be the fantasy object of thousands of girls. Especially when he is as cold as he is now, he is only caring for you, which is particularly charming.
Although Qi Xiayang is Qi Ming's cousin, her cousin rarely lets her get involved in the affairs of the circle. When she wants to go to the company to see celebrities, she will be caught by Qi Ming and scolded her.
If it weren't for Qi Ming's support for her book this time, she might not have had the chance to come into contact with this circle, let alone sit with Shao Si for dinner.
"Can I take a photo with you...?" Qi Xiayang stared at him for a long time and finally said this, "I'm a little excited when I saw you for the first time."
Before Shao Si could think of how to refuse, he rang a phone in the middle, making a "ding" prompt sound.
The phone screen lights up, and a small WeChat dialog box pops up on the screen lock interface.
[Gu Yanzhou]: The ancestors did not eat on time.
Qi Xiayang glanced across the table: "Who?"
Shao Si's face did not change his expression, unbuttoned the screen, clicked a few times on the screen, and said a few words, and replied casually: "My assistant."
[Your Dad Shao]: I was so annoyed when I was eating.
[Your Dad Shao]:...It's not about you.
【Gu Yanzhou】: Yes?
Shao Si's hand was fast, his knuckles were bent, and he tapped a few times and then said another sentence.
[Your father Shao]: Having a meal with a silly sister.
Gu Yanzhou didn't ask who it was, just said: Just don't worry if you are stupid, concentrate on eating, it's more important to eat.
...
Just ask, is there anyone who comforts people like this?
Shao Si threw his cell phone away a little, and then turned around. Seeing that Qi Xiayang had been waiting for a photo for several minutes, he couldn't say anything about his original rejection, so he had to lean forward slightly and took a photo with her in this position.
Qi Xiayang was very happy. After the filming, she held her cell phone and said happily: "I have to pick myself when I go back."
"Put too much mustard, be careful to choke." Shao Si filled the empty glass with wine in her hand. Seeing that she had been fiddling with her phone, she probably had eaten almost the same food, so she brought the topic to the point, "You should be very tired of writing things, why did you think of writing novels?"
Qi Xiayang put down his phone and did not forget Qi Ming's advice. She picked up the wine glass and sniffed it and said, "When I was in school, I was too bored, so I just wrote it casually. I didn't think so much at that time, but I really like you. You are the male lead in my mind."
"Thanks."
Shao Si's eyes bent, but his smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes. He changed his tone and said, "Did you really write this story yourself?"
Qi Xiayang's facial expression was stagnant: "What do you mean by what you said...?"
"Don't be nervous, I just saw some bad comments on the Internet." Shao Si said, and used public chopsticks to pick up a piece of fruit into her bowl. "After understanding, the situation seems to be not good for you."
Shao Si first had a good meal with her for half an hour, and he was the character who was about to play the male lead in Qi Ming. Qi Xiayang Yiran had already regarded him as his own person. She hurriedly said, "You don't have to care about those comments. They are all made out of nothing. They have been slandering me since I became famous."
In the past half an hour, Shao Si poured her a lot of wine intentionally or unintentionally. Now the alcohol is gradually rising, and the layers of disguise that Qi Xiayang wrapped herself in her slowly fell off. Her tone began to rise: "I'm just learning from... Yes, I read her, so what? She wrote it first, and others can't write it anymore? Why? Every sentence I have worked hard to figure out, and this is my own thing."
Shao Si pinched the recorder in his hand.
It is estimated that Qi Xiayang has been under a lot of pressure in the past two years. She said a lot of words as if she was expressing her anger.
She really doesn't think she's stripping off the coat of other people's stories and sewing a new coat to put it on. This behavior can be considered stealing. Or, she's deceived herself for too long and has deceived herself.
She convicted herself of God's identity.
"Miss Qi, I wonder if you have ever heard of the story of occupying the magpie's nest."
Shao Si turned off the switch of the recorder and stood up. From his perspective, he could clearly see Qi Xiayang's ups and downs, his red eyes, and even a thin layer of sweat on his nose. He looked at her seriously, without any mercy on his lips: "Wei Que has a nest; Wei Ju lives in it. I won't answer this drama. I never thought about answering it from beginning to end, and I hope you can do it yourself."
"Netizens are not as stupid as you think. No matter how rampant the navy is, no matter how you twist right and wrong, you can see it."
From Qi Xiayang's own attitude, Shao Si knew that there was no need to follow up on this matter.
The key is not him, but how the audience views it.
He insisted on seeing Qi Xiayang, but in fact he was also having a hint of luck - maybe she knew she was wrong, maybe this matter has come to this point.
As soon as Qi Ming received the call from Qi Xiayang, he rushed over. Shao Si didn't leave, and sat in a seat with his legs raised, and his cell phone was spread on his legs. He was chatting with Gu Yanzhou on WeChat every time.
[Gu Yanzhou]: Where is your stupid sister?
[Your father Shao]: Drunk.
[Gu Yanzhou]: According to your alcohol tolerance, you can still type on your mobile phone.
【Your Dad Shao】:...
[Gu Yanzhou]: It seems that he hasn't drunk, he is quite well-behaved.
What a good person?
Shao Si curled his lips. Is this person getting more and more wanton about chatting with him?
He was about to reply, and Qi Ming slammed the briefcase on the table and asked him sternly: "What do you mean?"
Shao Si said "unemployed" to Gu Yanzhou before, just a joke.
He had imagined the scene of breaking up with Qi Ming, and all kinds of factors were taken into account, but he never thought that Qi Ming's methods were far more insidious than he had imagined.
"Where are you playing with me these two days?" Qi Ming's handsome man realized something was wrong within a few minutes, and he was even more furious when he contacted everything before.
He walked back and forth in the private room for two rounds, barely suppressing the anger in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "You didn't plan to answer the call from the beginning, right? Are you still planning to mess with me directly?"
Shao Si put down his legs, stood in front of him, and said frankly: "Yes. I can't kill you this time, my surname is not Shao."
[…] The system silently reminded me, [Hey, please be careful, don't be too arrogant.]
Chapter completed!
