It was getting dark and the rain had finally eased, but the road was full of stagnant water. Lu Xingzhe first looked around, and then his eyes fell on Xi Nian: "Find a place to talk."
Xi Nian's identity is sensitive and she doesn't want to be recognized, so she heard the words: "There is a cafe opposite."
Lu Xingzhe raised his head slightly, the shadow of the hat brim staggered halfway along, revealing his red lips and pointed chin, the white casual shirt was loosely worn on the body, and the shoulder line was thin: "What's good about coffee, anyway, it will come to your house. Downstairs, no way?"
His tone was natural, even a little familiar.
Xi Nian didn't answer: "I refuse."
Lu Xingzhe was very rascal. He patted his leg that hadn't removed the gauze, with a narrow smile on his lips: "Then what should I do? I can't walk because of my leg pain. If you carry me to the cafe, I don't care."
Xi Nian was indifferent, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Why don't you shout that your leg hurts when you follow me."
Lu Xingzhe: "Of course it's different in a car, just step on the brake and the accelerator, but walking is a big deal."
With his arms folded, he looked like a rogue that made people want to beat him to the ground. Xi Nian heard the words and was silent for a few seconds, then turned around and walked towards the house without saying a word.
Seeing this, Lu Xingzhe seemed to laugh but not smile, then lowered the brim of his hat and looked around to make sure that there was no suspicious person taking pictures, and then limped after him.
Xi Nian walked very fast on purpose, and even detoured a few more roads. When he got to the elevator, he finally looked back, only to see that Lu Xingzhe had been following behind, only a few steps behind him.
The elevator did not arrive, and it was still slowly descending.
Lu Xingzhe limped to his side, then leaned against the wall, wondering if it was because he walked too fast and his breathing was a little heavy, he sighed, then smiled and looked at Xi Nian: "Did you detour on purpose? ."
Xi Nian rarely saw him deflated, so he asked back, "So what?"
Lu Xingzhe looked like a smiling fox most of the time. It was rare to see him get really angry, but he was never soft-hearted when he cheated on people behind his back: "It's not very good, but the person I want to follow has never been lost."
The elevator arrived with a ding, and there was no one inside. Xi Nian stepped in and pressed the key, asking casually, "So you're a paparazzi?"
Only then did Lu Xingzhe remember that he hadn't told Xi Nian his identity, nor even officially introduced his name. He heard the rare silence for a moment, and then said slowly, "You say yes."
He probably knew that his reputation was too bad, so he didn't answer directly.
Xi Nian has a very serious sense of private territory, and rarely brings others into his home. He took out his key to open the door and paused, inexplicably having a feeling of bringing a wolf into the room. He wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.
As a small paste bean, Xi Nian's place is not very luxurious, barely enough to live in. Lu Xingzhe looked around, only to feel that the furnishings were deserted, and looked at the sofa: "Do you mind if I sit down?"
Xi Nian opened the refrigerator and took out two bottles of drinks: "If I mind, would you stand still?"
Lu Xingzhe sat on the sofa with his injured leg: "Of course not."
Xi Nian put a jar of lemon tea in front of him, and the breath left immediately: "What business do you want to discuss with me, let's talk."
Lu Xingzhe looked at him with his head supported, his fingertips slowly rubbed the end of his brow, the light on the top fell on him, the whole person had an indescribable thick beauty, and suddenly became serious, making people uncomfortable: "You have been offended recently. many people."
Xi Nian took a seat next to him, and a name quickly appeared in his mind: "Suge?"
Lu Xingzhe said, "No, it's his agent. Jiang Lun has bought a lot of paparazzi, and he's going to steal your black stuff."
Su Ge is a little puppet at best. The one who really has the means is Jiang Lun. He has worked in Shanxing Entertainment for nearly ten years, but all the artists under him have become popular. His strength is evident, and he cannot be easily overthrown.
Xi Nian was thoughtful, but he didn't show it on his face. He crossed his legs and leaned back on the sofa: "So what business do you want to talk to me about?"
At this time, he was secretly relieved in his heart. Fortunately, he was stopped by the system when he was cleaning up Suge, otherwise it would become a hidden danger today.
Lu Xingzhe took out an envelope from the camera bag he was carrying, shook it in front of Xi Nian, and said in a meaningful way: "I have a lot of cards, but it's just the starting price that you can't come up with."
Xi Nian never doubted Lu Xingzhe's ability to be a paparazzi. As soon as he heard the words, he knew that the other party must have a big idea. He stretched out his hand to take the envelope, but he didn't twitch. own.
Xi Nian paused for a while, and there was no trace of a dark light in his eyes. His hand holding the envelope dropped half an inch, and it covered Lu Xingzhe's cool fingertips without a trace, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked. : "You have to let me see the goods before you know what the price is."
Lu Xingzhe glanced at his hand as he grabbed his own hand, and his fingertips slackened unconsciously: "I didn't say I wouldn't let you see it."
The envelope fell into Xi Nian's hand. He opened it and saw a thick stack of photos inside, roughly 30 or so, including a close-up of Suger's hand during the game, and a miserable sale of his Weibo claiming that he was injured. 's wrist blueprints, and...
Su Ge deliberately scalded Xi Nian's photo with boiling water in the lounge.
Seeing Xi Nian, Lu Xingzhe seemed to be stunned, holding the phone and spinning in circles: "The original video has been destroyed by Jiang Lun, but it's a coincidence that I have a backup."
After the second round of the knockout round that day, he followed Xi Nian to the lounge, but he didn't expect to hear the conversation between him and Su Ge. From that time on, he became suspicious of Xi Nian's injury, and it didn't take long for the incident to happen. Evidence is easy to find.
Su Ge did something wrong and dared not tell Jiang Lun for a long time. Later, he was afraid that the matter would be exposed before he said it. Even if Jiang Lun had quickly erased all the evidence, it was still a step too late.
Xi Nian's popularity is on the rise. If these materials are revealed, it will be a great help, and it will also be able to bring down Su Ge, which can be regarded as serving multiple purposes with one stone.
The photo was probably just printed out, and the edges and corners were sharp and cut hands. Xi Nian slowly gathered the photos and stacked them into a neat stack. The nature of climbing up was hard to change. At this time, he had to admit that the business was really exciting. People are moved.
The system was afraid that he would go down the old path, so he had the intention to remind him, but Su Ge did indeed do these things.
The clock on the wall was ticking, as if a long time had passed, but it seemed like only a few minutes had passed. Xi Nian put the photo in the envelope, and the voice sounded clearly in the room: "Let's make a price."
Lu Xingzhe was not surprised by his reaction. He held his chin and thought for a moment. He deliberately set a price that is not too affordable for Xi Nian at present: "Video and photos, 500,000."
Celebrities make good money, but only for those with high popularity. Ordinary small artists not only have to spend money to package, but also have to treat guests to dinner in order to receive a show. They are not necessarily better than migrant workers. 10,000, 200,000 Xi Nian can make it together is a question.
Xi Nian said bluntly: "No."
Lu Xingzhe seemed a little pity, he stood up from the sofa, then leaned over to Xi Nian, with one hand on his side, holding the envelope with the other, his voice was hoarse and ambiguous: "Although I really want to help you, I can't help you."
No one would push the benefits at hand, not to mention that the most difficult thing to wait for in the entertainment industry is the opportunity. Xi Nian's thoughts were confused for a moment, but no one could see it on the face. He pinched Lu Xingzhe's chin and pressed his fingertips against each other Delicate and smooth skin: "...Really, but I can't see your sincerity."
The two of them were too close, and their breaths blended together, regardless of each other. The breath on Xi Nian's clothes was cold and light, as if returning to the night when the car crashed.
Lu Xingzhe moved closer to him on purpose. Seeing that Xi Nian did not dodge as before, the curvature of his lips deepened: "Tsk, I dragged a broken leg all the way to see you, isn't it sincere enough?"
Xi Nian's thoughts are getting more and more chaotic, the thirst for fame and fortune drives him forward, but rationality advises him to avoid the cunning paparazzi in front of him, but no one should tell him how to choose in this life.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Lu Xingzhe stared at him and said, "Actually, I'm not interested in money."
As a paparazzi who only sees interests, this sentence is of course a lie, but he is now more interested in Xi Nian than money.
From childhood to adulthood, no one taught Lu Xingzhe what is right, wrong, right, and he developed a surly character.
Of course Xi Nian understood what he was talking about. His right hand holding the envelope tightened slightly, but he didn't loosen it for a long time. He got up from the sofa and looked directly into Lu Xingzhe's eyes with a low voice: "Then what are you interested in?"
Hearing this, Lu Xingzhe slowly approached his ear. This time it was too close, and it was no different from face to face: "...you."
He said this word so lightly, but it was different from the usual laughter, with a rare seriousness.
Lu Xingzhe said, "Xi Nian, I can help you become popular,"
"No one will bully you in the future, and no one will be able to throw dirty water on you. The glory that Suger has now, you will have one day in the future."
He said every word, Yu Xi was bewitched. When the last word fell, a string in Xi Nian's mind seemed to break with a buzzing sound. His hand holding Lu Xingzhe suddenly tightened uncontrollably, and then there was no warning. Pulled him over, his chest was pressed against his chest, his heartbeat vibrated.
Xi Nian knew he was telling the truth.
In his previous life, this person had personally brought him to the altar, but when he fell later, he was also dragged down by him.
Xi Nian thought he didn't care about this matter, but only today did he realize that there was a thorn in his heart, and it was already shackled.
Lu Xingzhe didn't expect Xi Nian's actions, he was enveloped by the man's hot breath, he was suddenly at a loss for a moment, and his ears were slightly red.
He lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes. After a while, he looked up at him, as if to promise something: "Xi Nian, I will not harm you."
