After applying the iodine, Xu Siyi didn't stay long and left quickly.
The next morning, the sky was clear, a rare sight in winter.
Xu Qiao sat by the windowsill, set up his drawing board, held a mottled paint tray in one hand and a paintbrush in the other, and painted stroke by stroke.
The painting shows a romantic and carefree young man riding on a tall horse with silver mane. His bright red cloak flutters behind him and his silver armor reflects a cold light in the sun.
But the face of the young man on the horse was blank, with no facial features drawn on.
Xu Qiao picked up a thin brush and the tip of the brush lingered on the blank face, not falling down for a long time.
Can not remember.
Xu Qiao frowned, unable to remember what kind of face this should be.
The will of the world has shrouded those memories of traveling through books in a mist. Whenever you try to recall them, it's like they're separated by layers of gauze, and you can't see clearly.
The doorbell suddenly rang, and Xu Qiao came to his senses. The tip of his pen accidentally rubbed the man's face in the painting, leaving a stain.
He became annoyed, threw the paintbrush into the bucket, and stood up to open the door.
It was Li Feifei outside the door. When he saw Xu Qiao, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he accused him in a frustrated manner: "Brother, why didn't you answer the phone again?!"
Xu Qiao took out his cell phone and found that he had more than 30 missed calls on his silent phone. Most of them were from Li Feifei, and some were from Jiang Wen, Si Cheng, Zhang Yinghui, and others.
"What's wrong?"
Li Feifei walked into the room and saw the drawing board by Xu Qiao's window sill. She couldn't help but ask, "Brother, when did you learn to draw?"
Why doesn't he remember that his brother has this skill
Although Fei-Fei Li didn't know how to appreciate a painting, the painting in front of her was beautiful enough in terms of both color and shape.
Although the man in the painting had not yet had his facial features drawn, Li Feifei felt that he was familiar with it.
After taking a closer look, Li Feifei suddenly realized, "Brother, are you drawing Xu Siyi?"
"What?" Xu Qiao, who had poured a glass of water and brought it over, paused and was stunned for a moment.
"Isn't this the look from Xu Siyi's upcoming movie?"
Li Feifei took a closer look and spoke as a fan of Xu Siyi, "But in the movie, he rides a chestnut horse."
Li Feifei gets excited when talking about Xu Siyi: "Xu Siyi is going to transform from a traffic star. His acting skills are good in the trailer. Do you know why he played a supporting role in "One Hundred Ghosts"? It's because Hu Zhenghua recommended him to star in this movie. Xu Siyi is just returning the favor!"
Xu Qiao stuffed the water cup into Li Feifei's hand, removed the thumbtacks from the drawing board, rolled up the drawing paper and threw it into the trash can: "It's not Xu Siyi."
"Hey, brother, it's so beautiful, why don't you give it to me? Why are you throwing it away?" Li Feifei was heartbroken.
Xu Qiao glanced at him and asked, "You didn't come here to chat with me, did you? What's the matter?"
Li Feifei then remembered the purpose of coming here. She glanced at the painting that Xu Qiao had thrown into the trash can, and her face wrinkled. "You haven't checked Weibo yet, have you?"
Weibo? What happened again
As soon as Xu Qiao opened Weibo, his phone started vibrating non-stop and the page froze for a long time without refreshing.
He logged out and back in again, turned off the message notification, and things felt better.
Countless messages about him popped up, and when Xu Qiao was about to click on them, Li Feifei rolled her eyes and said, "Brother, just look at the trending searches."
Xu Qiao clicked on the search and saw that the first hot search was his and Xu Siyi's names put together:
"Xu Siyi and Xu Qiao's relationship exposed"
Xu Qiao: “…?” How come he doesn’t know when this happened
Li Feifei standing by was in mixed feelings. This is the number one trending search. Can anyone get on it just because they want to
Under normal circumstances, he would be extremely excited, but right now, he simply couldn't be happy because the content was just... too fucking exciting.
Xu Qiao clicked on the trending search and saw that more than an hour ago, an unknown paparazzi in the entertainment industry posted three pictures with an expression of eating melons.
The number of reposts, comments and likes reached an astonishing number.
There are three pictures. The first one shows the two people getting out of the car and walking upstairs to the apartment building together.
The photo is clear and you can clearly tell that the two people are Xu Qiao and Xu Siyi.
The second photo was of the two of them walking into the house, with Xu Qiao putting the slippers in front of Xu Siyi.
When he saw the third picture, Xu Qiao curled the corners of his mouth.
This photo shows him wearing a bathrobe and sitting on the sofa, with Xu Siyi kneeling in front of him.
Xu Qiao stared at these three pictures and couldn't help but sigh that the paparazzi were really good at taking pictures.
It makes people imagine a plot in which the two of them had a secret rendezvous at home.
Especially the third picture, it is clear that Xu Siyi was half-kneeling on the ground applying medicine to himself, but the picture managed to create an ambiguous and erotic feeling.
In the photo, Xu Qiao's ears were red because he had drunk alcohol, and his bathrobe was lifted up to his thighs, revealing two long legs with beautiful curves.
And because of the angle, Xu Siyi looked like she had her head buried between his legs.
… The kind that would make anyone who sees it think wrongly.
The comment section has exploded.
Oh my god, Xu Siyi is actually willing to be bitten?
Your circle is so messy and disgusting. I will stop being a fan. Bye
How are these two people related
I'm afraid Xu Qiao didn't take the initiative to seduce her. Tsk tsk, Xu Siyi had never had any scandals before, it turns out she likes men.
This contrast is quite interesting... I never thought that one day Xu Siyi would kneel on the ground and take the initiative to help others.
Li Feifei would steal a glance at Xu Qiao from time to time, wanting to say something but stopping herself. After a long while, she finally swallowed her saliva and asked curiously and excitedly, "Brother, did Xu Siyi really help you? Did you do that?"
Xu Qiao put down his phone, expressionless: "What?"
Li Feifei had an ambiguous look on her face and pouted twice.
Xu Qiao looked at him with disdain: "Is it possible?"
"Then, then this photo..."
"He just helped me apply iodine." Xu Qiao said, showing Li Feifei the purple bruise on his knee.
When Li Feifei found out, she couldn't tell whether she was relieved or regretful.
Xu Qiao looked through Xu Siyi's Weibo and found that there was no news about this person. He asked, "Didn't Xu Siyi do any public relations?"
Li Feifei curled her lips and said, "If the truth is as you said, just wait, it won't be long before this paparazzi comes out to apologize."
Xu Siyi had never been involved in any scandals before. Firstly, he had never had any ambiguous relationship with anyone in the circle, and secondly, given his identity and background, no paparazzi dared to spread any rumors.
This paparazzi probably just entered the circle not long ago and wanted to dig up big news without even learning the rules.
If you dig into Xu Siyi's body, you'll be in trouble.
Didn’t you see that Xu Siyi was too lazy to suppress or remove the trending search
Sure enough, before Xu Siyi and Xu Qiao could respond, the paparazzi came out to apologize and released the full video he had taken.
From the moment Xu Qiao and Xu Siyi entered the room, to the moment Xu Siyi applied medicine to Xu Qiao, to the moment Xu Siyi left.
There is no behavior that crosses the line in the video.
Netizens suddenly realized that it was just a knee injury and the man was helping to apply medicine. The unscrupulous paparazzi actually maliciously distorted the facts!
The wind direction changed instantly and everyone started to curse the paparazzi.
But on second thought, why would Xu Siyi go to Xu Qiao's house? How did these two get together
If there is no relationship at all, it doesn't seem right. Maybe they really do have something ambiguous between them
Netizens began to speculate.
Soon, director Hu Zhenghua published an apology article on Weibo and gave the truth.
Yesterday afternoon, because the crew had been filming for more than 17 hours, Ying Yuan did not get enough rest and was overworked, causing cardiac arrest. Fortunately, Xu Qiao happened to be in the crew next door, and rushed over to perform CPR on Ying Yuan for more than ten minutes, successfully resuscitating him.
Thinking about it now, I still feel scared. I apologize to Ying Yuan, to everyone in the crew, and to the public. Because of my negligence, an excellent actor walked between life and death.
This is a painful lesson. The only consolation is that Ying Yuan has now regained consciousness. The doctor told us that because of the timely rescue, his health is no longer in danger.
As a director, I also promise here that when filming in the future, I will always put the health of the actors first, take protective measures, and leave enough rest time.
Apologies to Ying Yuan again, and thanks to Xu Qiao again!
Xu Qiao was somewhat surprised to see the blog post. Generally speaking, such things happening on a set would have a very bad impact, and if it happened on a set with a big director like Hu Zhenghua, it would be more likely to cause criticism from the public.
It was not easy for Hu Zhenghua to speak out about the matter, apologize, reflect on it, and make a promise instead, instead of hiding it.
From this point we can see that he is a good director.
On the other hand, Ying Yuan also sent a Weibo post through his agent to report that he was safe and thank Xu Qiao. His friends and family followed Xu Qiao on Weibo and sent him private messages, hoping to thank him in person.
Xu Siyi also responded that he sent Xu Qiao home after he performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him.
Xu Qiao was kneeling on the ground doing chest compressions for more than ten minutes, and his knees were injured due to the intense friction between them and the ground, so he was given medicine.
The truth finally came to light.
This time, finally no one scolded Xu Qiao anymore, and the comments were all positive, which was rare.
After all, a life was saved. Even Xu Qiao’s veteran black fans fell silent at this moment.
Ying Yuan’s fan club expressed their gratitude to Xu Qiao, thank you so much.
I am a staff member of the crew of Hundred Ghosts. I really want to thank Xu Qiao. After Ying Yuan collapsed, none of us knew how to perform professional CPR. If Xu Qiao hadn't happened to be drinking wrap-up wine in the crew next door, the consequences would have been disastrous. We were all panicking at the time, but he was really calm and his technique was very professional.
I'm sorry that I used to follow the crowd and had a lot of prejudice against him, but now I'm a fan
But then again, even though it’s not true, the picture taken by the paparazzi is really attractive. Xu Qiao is so handsome, with red ears and legs whiter than mine, a girl... I kind of want to ship them as a couple.
Sister, to be honest, I also want to try it. Real warriors dare to produce their own food. Here is the link, and I'll give it to you.
The sister upstairs is a talented person, and I would like to express my respect to her with my phantom limb.
Xu Siyi was sitting in the empty lounge. Out of boredom, he took out his cell phone and logged into Weibo using his secondary account.
I happened to see this comment, rubbed my chin, and finally couldn't resist my curiosity and clicked on the link.
He used one foot to push against the table leg, slowly pushing himself away from the table, and watched the page slowly loading.
Lines of text popped up. Xu Siyi read a few and paused while kicking the table legs.
Xu Qiao was like a fish out of water, leaning on the sofa, sweating and weak, his lips slightly parted, trying to absorb oxygen. There was a thick mist in front of his eyes, and his expression became confused.
Xu Siyi raised his eyes and saw Xu Qiao's sweaty hair sticking to his cheeks, and he became more excited.
He loved this young man so much that he wanted to devour every inch of him and carve him into his bones and blood.
Xu Qiao raised his head high, his eyes were blank, and broken words flowed from the corners of his mouth. He put his hand on Xu Siyi's forehead, trying to push him away. But the force was weak and powerless, more like a weak invitation.
…
Xu Siyi: “…”
The door of the lounge was suddenly opened. Xu Siyi felt inexplicably guilty when he heard the sound and quickly switched the page on his phone.
Seeing that it was Hu Zhenghua who had just returned from the hospital, Xu Siyi asked, "How is Yingyuan?"
"It's all right now." Hu Zhenghua looked a little tired. He sat opposite Xu Siyi and pressed his temple. "The doctor said that if Xu Qiao hadn't performed CPR for more than ten minutes, he would have died long ago."
As he spoke, Hu Zhenghua sighed, feeling terrified: "It's all thanks to Xu Qiao."
Xu Siyi smiled, his expression thoughtful: "Come to think of it, he has a good connection with the Hundred Ghosts crew."
Hu Zhenghua: "How do you say that?"
Xu Siyi stood up from his seat, put his hands in his pockets, looked at assistant director Zhang Zhen who was chatting and laughing with the actress outside the lounge, and raised the corner of his mouth in a nice arc:
"He came to our crew for an audition."
