9 min read2,265 words
The villa area in the north of the city in H city is built on the mountain,
with good scenery and perfect security system. If it wasn't for Qi Yuan's
phone call in advance, Ning Xingzhou would not have been able to get in.
He carried a small suitcase with some daily necessities and a few changes of
clothes, as well as a laptop and a tablet.
Now in early September, the college students have started school. In order not
to worry Qi Yuan, he said that he is a freelancer and usually takes some
sketches to live, so at least he has to pretend to avoid being a helper.
Thinking of living with Qi Yuan in the future, Ning Xingzhou tightened his
hand holding the suitcase and felt a little nervous. Probably because he
didn't have much contact with Qi Yuan, he still felt unfamiliar.
After entering the gate of the villa area, he didn't walk for a while, and a
black car with a neat appearance and smooth lines stopped beside him. Although
he didn't know the brand of the car, he could guess that it was a valuable
luxury car. vehicle.
The owner of the luxury car slowly rolled down the car window, revealing a
very familiar face. Ning Xingzhou saw him and waved his hand quickly, bending
his eyes to say hello, "Hello, brother~"
Qi Yuan replied with a smile, looked at Ning Xingzhou's cheeks that were
flushed from the heat, and said helplessly, "You don't want to walk there, do
you?"
With that said, he got out of the car, took the suitcase in Ning Xingzhou's
hand, put it in the trunk, opened the passenger's door, and motioned to Ning
Xingzhou, "Get in the car first."
"Oh, good." Ning Xingzhou responded, trotting past Qi Yuan, and quickly got
into the car.
Qi Yuan keenly felt the slightly different perspective from the game, and he
couldn't help raising his lips, and the smile reached the bottom of his eyes.
When Qi Yuan returned to the driver's seat, Ning Xingzhou sat up stiffly, and
explained embarrassedly, "I don't have a driver's license, and the taxi won't
let you in, so I can only walk."
And because of the suitcases, the public bicycles in the community are also
useless.
Speaking of the driver's license, Ning Xingzhou felt helpless. The system can
provide him with a lot of identity convenience, ready-made residences, ID
cards, etc., but a driver's license is not enough. It is said that for the
safety of him and the aborigines in the small world, skills such as driver's
licenses must be tested by himself.
But he is a task person and does not have enough time to take the exam, so the
travel is either the subway or a taxi.
"It takes at least half an hour to walk from here to where I live, and the
weather is so hot at noon..." Qi Yuan tapped the steering wheel with his
fingertips, and said apologetically, "I didn't think about it, I should have
come down earlier."
In fact, he could have let his personal driver pick up Ning Xingzhou, but he
didn't know what to think, so he wanted to pick him up in person.
"It's okay, I'm very happy that my brother came to pick me up on a special
trip~" Ning Xingzhou tilted his head to look at Qi Yuan's impeccable profile,
and couldn't help but peeled, "Brother is worthy of being a national idol, a
real person is better than a real person. Even better in game."
This is not a lie. Although "Jianghu" is a holographic game that claims to be
99% real, although the characters generated by projection are similar to real
people, they cannot simulate the demeanor of real people. It's like the
difference between 3D modeling and real people, the shape is similar but there
is no god.
Hearing this, Qi Yuan laughed softly, remembering that someone had
deliberately raised his height in the game, but he didn't say it, "You too,
the real person... is more cute."
The space in the car is limited, and the low magnetic voice is infinitely
amplified, just like Lu Yuan whispered in his ear countless times, even more
mature and charming than Lu Yuan at that time. Ning Xingzhou's face flashed a
thin red, and he looked out the window uncomfortably.
But he thought about it, after all, Qi Yuan is not Lu Yuan, he shouldn't
transfer his extra feelings to Qi Yuan, Qi Yuan is just a simple task object,
business is important, there is nothing to be ashamed of!
The road conditions in the villa area are not complicated, Qi Yuan is driving
the car, but from time to time he will glance at Ning Xingzhou, and catch a
glimpse of the suspicious blush on the other's face, and the smile on Qi
Yuan's face is even stronger.
So easy to be shy... so cute.
Ning Xingzhou took a deep breath and tried to immerse himself in the identity
he played. After a while, he raised the corners of his mouth, pretending to be
relaxed and said, "I live with an idol again, and I am praised by an idol. The
fans know that they can't be envious of death."
"Really?" Qi Yuan sneered, thinking of the blood and blood on the Internet in
the past two days, and said with a self-deprecating manner: "With my current
review, there are no live fans, but to be honest, if the media knew about you
and If I stay together, I'm afraid you will also be implicated, aren't you
afraid?"
"No, my brother has a lot of fans. It's just that the navy is so strong that
it drowns out the fans' speech. As for the harm or not... I know that my
brother is innocent, and that alone gives me no reason to be afraid."
Speaking of business, the distracting thoughts in Ning Xingzhou's mind
instantly disappeared, he sat up straight, and asked his doubts, "Did you not
doubt your company? Basic, right? In fact, as long as my brother is willing to
speak up, many fans are willing to believe that my brother is innocent."
His speech rate was a little hasty, and there was an unconcealed concern in
his words. Qi Yuan was in a trance for a moment, remembering the days when he
first started acting.
The Star Entertainment company he worked for was initially a small business
with few artists and was at risk of closing down at any time.
When he first arrived at Xing Chuan, he was just a little-known 18th-tier
actor. The company finally helped him get the qualification for the second
male audition for an online drama. He seized the opportunity and conquered the
audience with his acting skills. Soaring into the sky, getting the prize is
soft.
And the company has attracted many powerful new blood through Qi Yuan's fame,
and the virtuous circle has gradually developed.
It was a happy situation, but Xingzhuan was not satisfied with the status quo.
In order to maintain the topicality, he created some peach-colored scandals
about Qi Yuan from time to time, euphemistically called it helping Qi Yuan to
stir up the heat.
Qi Yuan rejected this kind of behavior, and agreed with the company's top
management not to engage in these bells and whistles, and he would talk about
his works. Who knows that those people promised well in their mouths, but they
were still the same behind their backs, and he could only keep a distance from
others at all times.
Recently, the contract with Xing Chuan is about to expire. Xing Chuan's
various soft and hard bubbles want to renew the contract with him, but he has
refused. When other entertainment companies in the industry heard the news,
they have been trying to contact him for a while and want to cooperate.
Even if the scandal broke out in the past two days, those companies did not
shrink back, but contacted them more diligently, and promised that as long as
they signed a contract, this incident would be handed over to them. After all,
those people are old foxes, how can they not see the tricks hidden in this
incident.
If you choose any one, Qi Yuan's current predicament will be solved easily.
But if he really did this, he and Xing Chuan would definitely tear their
faces. He thought about the old relationship and didn't want to be too stiff.
He wanted to see how much Xing Chuan had sincerity, so he didn't make a
decision.
But now it seems that their sincerity is 0.
"Actually, at the end of this month, my contract with Xing Chuan will expire.
If things have developed like this, if there is no Xing Chuan behind it, I
will not believe it."
Mingming and Ning Xingzhou had only known each other for two days, but Qi Yuan
felt that he had known each other for a long time. He didn't hide anything
when he talked about his career.
He remembered what happened one after another during this time, and smiled to
himself: "If your dream is true, I am quite a failure as a human being. The
brothers, friends, and agents around me betray me one by one. Treat people
with sincerity, but in the end, there is no one around whom you can trust."
How ridiculous.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, but the smile did not reach the
bottom of his eyes, and the deep eyes were cold, as if wrapped in a layer of
ice that could not be melted.
Looking at Qi Yuan like this, Ning Xingzhou couldn't help but feel a little
sour. It would be better if the other party was extremely angry, but it was
this kind of self-deprecating irony, revealing a distressing loneliness and
desolation.
"I'm not happy for my brother to say that. Someone I can trust... Isn't there
one by my side?"
Ning Xingzhou tilted his head and showed a sweet smile, "Brother is obviously
such a great person, and those scumbags are not worthy of your brother's
sincerity. No matter what happens, my brother has me behind him, and there are
thousands more. The fans support it, so brother, don't feel sorry for those
scumbags, they don't deserve it."
Ning Xingzhou's voice was very clean and sincere. When he called his brother,
it was sweet and soft, like a sweet and soft cotton candy, sweet all the way
into Qi Yuan's heart.
Qi Yuan chuckled and whispered, "Thank you."
His little fans are right at all.
He shouldn't hesitate to waste his excess emotions and energy on the scumbag.
He is too polite to those people, one by one, do you really think he is a
character to be bullied?
For a moment, he seemed to be completely relieved, the tense strings in his
mind were broken, and the resentment accumulated in his heart disappeared
without a trace. Even he himself couldn't understand why he used to endure
blindly in the past, what was there to care about the old love of a group of
scumbags.
When it is broken, it is broken, which is in line with his character.
[Influence value +20, the current influence value is 40. 】
The sudden prompt sounded in his mind, Ning Xingzhou was stunned for a while,
then glanced at Qi Yuan reflexively, very puzzled.
He seems to be just comforting a few words, right? Why is this person's
influence value so good? Is it because of his words to feel the kindness from
this world? But is a few words really so powerful? It always feels
unscientific.
Before he could think about it, the deep voice in his ears rang together
again, "Emperor Entertainment and Yaguang Media, which one do you prefer?"
"What?" Ning Xingzhou was inexplicably asked by Qi Yuan's abrupt question, and
did not respond for a while.
Qi Yuan thought he didn't hear clearly, so he repeated patiently, "Emperor
Entertainment and Yaguang Media, which one do you prefer?"
Ning Xingzhou blinked his eyes and searched for information about these two
companies from his mind with difficulty. Fortunately, in the past two days, in
order to understand Qi Yuan better, he made up a lot of film and television
related things, otherwise he would be afraid of even this. Neither company
knows anything.
Emperor and Yaguang are the two leaders in the film and television industry.
Ning Xingzhou, a layman, can't tell who is stronger, but if he likes which
one, he can still choose.
"If I had to choose one, I would definitely choose Yaguang. I heard that
Emperor Entertainment always likes to buy that kind of controversial IP
adaptations, so as to increase the popularity. Compared with Yaguang, I feel
that Yaguang is much more low-key."
Ning Xingzhou didn't have any scruples, he directly stated his intuitive
impression of these two companies, and after speaking, he felt a little
suspicious of pretending that he didn't understand, and quickly added: "Well,
I'll be a layman and just talk about it. , if it's completely different from
the actual situation, don't take offense to my brother..."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you like it." Qi Yuan chuckled, his eyes filled
with tenderness that he didn't even realize.
The next home has been chosen. Next, it is time to fight back.

The author has something to say: there should be no more game scenes later, I
shouldn't have added this game setting in the first place!
