The Outdated Boy Group Became Popular

Chapter 31

Views:

Although it was a bit annoying to run into Xu Yuan right after arriving in City C, Xia Zhi was not too worried about himself. Instead, he was more worried about Jiang Zhixia.

However, Jiang Zhixia said that they did not collide head-on. At that time, he was standing in front of the sink with his back to the door, and he was holding Zhuzhu in his hands, so Xu Yuan probably thought he was a father who brought his child to the toilet. He didn't even give him an extra glance and walked straight in without recognizing him at all.

Xia Zhi didn't take this matter to heart at all.

After lunch, Jiang Zhixia had to rush back to the set to continue the afternoon shoot. The other four had nothing to do in the afternoon, so they decided to follow Jiang Zhixia to the set during lunch. But in the end, only Xia Zhi followed Jiang Zhixia to the set.

Xiao Zhuzhu takes a nap at noon every day. They had lunch a little late this time and felt sleepy halfway through the meal. Cheng Yunan, who felt sorry for his daughter, prepared to take the child back to the hotel for a nap; and Sang Luo also received a call from his secretary, saying that he had some temporary work to deal with, so he decided to go back to the hotel; Xiao Han was a otaku and had social anxiety, and seeing that two of his three teammates were not going, he also said he would not go, saying that there were too many people on the set and it was too noisy, so he might as well go back to the hotel and play games.

Jiang Zhixia did not force it, and let Jiang Chi send the four people back to the hotel first, and she took Xia Zhi and walked slowly to the set.

The two walked side by side, and because there were filming crews all around them and passers-by would occasionally pass by, they deliberately kept some distance between them.

It was Xia Zhi's first time to come to this film and television base. He walked around in high spirits.

"I thought you were going back to the hotel with them, too."

Xia Zhi was admiring an antique handicraft relief. When he heard Jiang Zhixia's words, he paused and turned to look at him.

Jiang Zhixia also turned around, looked into his clear eyes and smiled: "I'm very happy that you can come with me, even happier than if you all came together."

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell this to the three of them?" Xia Zhi raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"Will you?" Jiang Zhixia asked back, without any worry in her tone.

Xia Zhi smiled but did not answer. Jiang Zhixia did not say anything either.

The two walked towards the set quietly, rarely communicating with each other, but the atmosphere was unusually harmonious, with a hint of ambiguity in the harmony.

The subtle atmosphere continued on the set.

Jiang Zhixia was shooting indoor scenes all day, in an old-style house. The house was not big, and the open space was filled with cameras. The staff were setting up the scene, and their figures were busy walking around the house.

As soon as the two entered the house, everyone stopped and looked at them, half of their eyes were on Jiang Zhixia and the other half on Xia Zhi.

Jiang Zhixia was used to it, and walked in without changing his expression. However, Xia Zhi couldn't adapt to it, and quietly hid behind Jiang Zhixia.

Jiang Zhixia glanced around calmly, and the number of people looking at them suddenly decreased. Everyone silently withdrew their gazes and continued to work on their own things.

Jiang Zhixia turned to Xia Zhi and explained softly, "We are setting up the set now. The scene is a bit chaotic. I will take you to my lounge first."

"Okay." Xia Zhi was eager to get rid of these inquiring gazes.

Xia Zhi followed Jiang Zhixia into his lounge.

"Sit down for a while," Jiang Zhixia pulled him to sit on the sofa by the window and said, "The makeup artist will come over to do my hairstyle later. It will take a long time. If you are bored, wait for Xiao Chi to come over. I will ask him to take you around the neighborhood first."

"It's okay," Xia Zhi said nonchalantly, "It's not bad to sit here and wait."

Seeing a fine layer of sweat on his forehead, Jiang Zhixia bent down and took a tissue on the coffee table, gently lifted his chin with one hand, and gently wiped the sweat off his face.

This action was somewhat ambiguous. Xia Zhi glanced at the door nervously and said, "I'll do it myself."

"Don't move." Jiang Zhixia asked him as if he didn't hear her. "Is it hot?"

"It's okay," Xia Zhi was worried that someone would come in, so he kept his eyes on the door and ignored the slightly ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them.

"There's no air conditioning here," Jiang Zhixia suddenly regretted bringing Xia Zhi here. After thinking for a while, he said, "How about I let Xiao Chi take you back to the hotel. It's very hot here without air conditioning, and there are so many people and the air isn't circulating. The hotel is more comfortable."

Jiang Zhixia's words temporarily shifted Xia Zhi's attention back to him, and he asked with some amusement, "Am I so delicate in your heart?"

"No," Jiang Zhixia denied, "I just want to make you feel more comfortable."

Xia Zhi slapped his hand away, sat down on the sofa, crossed her legs and said, "It's just a little hot, I can still bear it."

Jiang Zhixia didn't say anything, but still selflessly gave him the three-piece summer set - watermelon, soda, and a small fan.

Xia Zhi looked at the three "magic weapons" in front of him and seemed a little helpless, but he did not refuse. After all, it was really unbearable without air conditioning in this weather. Since it could make him live more comfortably, there was no reason not to accept it.

The watermelon was just taken out of the refrigerator, it was icy and cool, and it tasted very good. Xia Zhi crossed his legs, holding half of the watermelon and eating it with a spoon.

The makeup artist hadn't come yet, and Jiang Zhixia sat next to him and read the script. Xia Zhi looked down at the watermelon in his arms and thought it was not a good idea to eat it alone, so he scooped a spoonful and put it to Jiang Zhixia's mouth, asking, "Do you want to eat it?"

Jiang Zhixia turned his head and stared at Xia Zhi's wet lips for a moment, raised a subtle arc at the corner of his mouth, opened his mouth and ate.

Xia Zhi calmly took back the spoon, scooped another spoonful and put it into his mouth. The smile on Jiang Zhixia's face deepened.

Xia Zhi didn't know what he was thinking, but she didn't want to explain, so she pretended not to notice and calmly scooped another spoonful to Jiang Zhixia's mouth. This time Jiang Zhixia didn't open her mouth again, but shook her head gently and said, "Eat it. We'll be hanging wires later. If you eat too much, your stomach will feel uncomfortable."

"Oh." Xia Zhi didn't force it and enjoyed half of the watermelon alone.

Xia Zhi finished eating half a watermelon, and Jiang Zhixia's stylist also arrived. Along with the makeup artist came Jiang Chi, who had just returned from seeing Sang Luo off.

The stylist is very famous in the circle and is the stylist of many big directors. He has also worked with Jiang Zhixia many times and has a good relationship with her. The stylist walked into the room with Jiang Chi. He first saw Jiang Zhixia standing by the window and was about to say hello. But the next second, he caught a glimpse of a young man sitting on the sofa next to him, flipping through Jiang Zhixia's script. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he even forgot to speak.

"Brother Zhixia, Teacher Cheng is here."

Jiang Chi's voice attracted the attention of the three people in the room.

Jiang Zhixia walked over and called out "Teacher Cheng" with great respect. The stylist had been in the industry for more than 20 years, and both his experience and age made him worthy of being called "Teacher" by Jiang Zhixia.

Although Xia Zhi didn't know the middle-aged woman in front of her with exquisite makeup, seeing Jiang Zhixia respecting her so much, she knew that she must be a senior in the industry, so she stood up and smiled at her politely.

The stylist greeted Jiang Zhixia first, then shifted his attention to Xia Zhi, and nodded and smiled at him.

"Hello, Teacher Xia. It's our first time meeting. I didn't expect you to be even more stunning in person than on TV. You are indeed a delicate little person."

Xia Zhi was so shocked by the "delicate little guy" that his hair almost stood on end, but out of politeness he did not let himself show it.

"Teacher Cheng, do you know me?" he asked calmly and politely, trying hard to ignore the rest of the sentence.

"Haha," the stylist was surprisingly lively. Hearing this, she covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "Teacher Xia is too modest. Everyone in the industry knows you now. Not only is you an excellent person with a good family background and a good education, but you are also so beautiful and delicate. This is unique in the industry."

The stylist spared no effort in praising Xia Zhi, his eyes fixed on his face with a slightly obsessed look, as if he was looking at a rare gem.

"Haha, Teacher Cheng, you're too kind. I'm just an ordinary person." The corners of Xia Zhi's mouth began to twitch slightly.

"I'm not exaggerating. Teacher Xia's face is simply stunning." The stylist suddenly became excited and rushed to Xia Zhi in two or three steps, asking with a burning gaze, "I recently have a new makeup idea, but I can't find a model with the right face shape. Teacher Xia's face shape is very perfect, and it is very consistent with my idea. Are you interested in being my model?"

"No, it's not appropriate." Xia Zhi took a step back calmly, his expression completely stiff.

“It fits!”

The stylist followed closely and tried to persuade him, but Jiang Zhixia took a step forward and protected Xia Zhi behind him.

"Teacher, please stop teasing him." Jiang Zhixia's tone was polite yet firm.

The stylist looked at him in surprise, then looked at Xia Zhi who was hiding behind Jiang Zhixia and didn't dare to show his head. He suddenly chuckled and took two steps back in giving up: "Okay, okay, I'll give you some face. I'll find a new model."

"Thank you, teacher."

The stylist's smile deepened, and her eyes lingered on the two of them with interest. Then she pointed to the chair in front of the makeup mirror and said to Jiang Zhixia, "Go sit down."

Jiang Zhixia agreed obediently, turned around and said to Xia Zhi: "Go back and sit down. If you get bored, let Jiang Chi take you for a walk nearby."

The last time Jiang Zhixia said this, Xia Zhi refused. But this time, he looked at a stylist who was glaring at him, hesitated for a while, and said to Jiang Zhixia, "I want to go to the bathroom."

He had just eaten half a watermelon, and then was frightened by the ferocious stylist in front of him. He now clearly had to pee.

"Let Xiao Chi take you there." Jiang Zhixia called Jiang Chi.

Jiang Chi ran over and said to Xia Zhi with a smile: "Teacher Xia, let me take you there. It will take a while for Brother Zhixia to do the styling."

"Okay." Xia Zhi maintained his last bit of demeanor and said hello to the stylist before leaving, but his pace became faster and faster. When he walked out of the lounge, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Seeing this, Jiang Chi smiled and asked, "Is Teacher Xia scared by Teacher Cheng?"

Xia Zhi did not deny: "A little bit."

"Hehe, Teacher Cheng is just like that. She's almost sixty years old but still likes to tease people, like an old child." Jiang Chi said, "But Teacher Cheng is not a bad person, and she teases you because she likes you. You just have to get used to it."

Xia Zhi sighed silently. He hoped that he would never have the chance to get used to it again in his life. However, seeing how easily Jiang Zhixia helped him out, he couldn't help but feel curious.

"Then do you know whether Brother Xia has ever been teased by her?"

"Of course there are," Jiang Chi said, "Before you showed up, Teacher Cheng loved teasing Brother Zhixia the most. These days, Teacher Cheng teases him every day when she's putting on makeup, but you also know Brother Zhixia's personality, he's too serious, and his facial expressions are rare, so no matter how Teacher Cheng teases him, he stays calm."

Xia Zhi suddenly began to envy Jiang Zhixia's expressionless face.

But in fact, those who say that Jiang Zhixia has facial paralysis are basically fans and netizens, because his emotions are very stable and he usually has no expression. Except when he is filming, he always has a calm face no matter what happens.

But Xia Zhi never thought that he had expressionlessness, and he told her not to have too many expressions when facing her. Sang Luo and the others also said that Jiang Zhixia looked serious, but he was actually being coquettish and not serious at all. Xia Zhi agreed with this.

There are public toilets near the set.

Xia Zhi followed Jiang Chi out of the studio, turned right into a small alley, and walked about a hundred meters to the public toilet. The public toilet was built between two houses. The house on the right was Jiang Zhixia's crew, and the house on the other side seemed to have a crew as well.

Xia Zhi casually asked, "Are they filming over there too?"

"That's right." Jiang Chi said, "That's the crew of 'Like Sugar', starring Xu Yuan and Liu Ruofang."

Xia Zhi frowned. Why is it Xu Yuan again

He didn't know whether Jiang Chi knew about the feud between Jiang Zhixia and Xu Yuan, so he didn't mention Xu Yuan specifically. He asked casually, "The two crews are so close, do they usually run into each other?"

"I haven't encountered it yet." Jiang Chi said, "Si Tang just started filming three days ago, and our main location is actually not here. The scenes here have been filmed until today, and we will return to the main location tomorrow. This film and television base is quite large, and the main location is more than a kilometer away from here."

"Oh, I see." Xia Zhi nodded in understanding, feeling much more relieved.

"Teacher Xia, the toilet is behind this sign at the front door. Please go there first." Jiang Chi rummaged in his trouser pockets and said with a frown, "I think I left my phone on the set."

Xia Zhi laughed: "Then go back and get it."

"Okay, I'll be back soon! Teacher Xia, when you're done with your class, please find a shady place and wait for me for a while!" After saying that, Jiang Chi trotted back to the set to find his cell phone.

Xia Zhi came out of the toilet, Jiang Chi hadn't come back yet, and he didn't plan to stand stupidly at the toilet door waiting, so he decided to walk around first. Remembering that Jiang Chi just said that Xu Yuan's crew was next door, he unconsciously walked a few steps over there.

Although the two crews used the same house, the interior decorations were completely different. The Widow tells a story of power struggle, the atmosphere is solemn, and the furniture is mainly black, which looks a bit depressing. The Sugar Like Sugar is full of white, with white gauze, white curtains, and glazed tables and tiles, which looks like a fairy tale. It is probably a fairy tale.

There was a cordon at the entrance of the house where the filming of "Like Sugar" was taking place to stop passers-by. Xia Zhi stood at the entrance and watched for a while. After searching for Xu Yuan in the crowd for a long time but still not seeing him, he left in a bad mood.

There were low buildings all around, with little shelter. Xia Zhi felt like a salted fish hanging in the hot sun when he walked on the road. He started sweating before he had even taken a few steps. He wiped the sweat off his forehead, gave up on moving forward, and dodged to hide at the junction of a house.

There was a path between the two houses, one person wide, with both ends open, and could quickly lead to the main road next door. Xia Zhi walked a little further in, stopped in the shade where there was no sun at all, leaned against the wall and fanned himself with his hands, while reaching into his trouser pocket for his cell phone. He wanted to call Jiang Chi and tell him not to come over. Going out in such a hot day was torture, so why bother going shopping

"I heard Jiang Zhixia is filming next door?"

Xia Zhi paused as he held the phone. He felt that the voice sounded familiar. But before he could remember, another man's voice rang out.

"Huh, you seem to be very concerned about him recently. Why, do you want to curry favor with him just because he's the best actor now?"

Xia Zhi frowned and felt that the man's voice was somewhat familiar.

"Brother Xu, what are you talking about? How could I possibly cling to someone like Jiang Zhixia!" The first person who spoke hastily denied, "Jiang Zhixia didn't win the Best Actor award based on his real ability, it's just because he has a strong backing. He's far inferior to Brother Xu!"

It was not until the voice of Brother Xu was called out that Xia Zhi remembered that the owner of the second voice was Xu Yuan. He was also familiar with the owner of the first voice, who was another member of QB - Cheng Fangyan.

Cheng Fangyan and Xu Yuan are two extremes of QB, one has the lowest appearance and the lowest popularity, and the other has the highest appearance and the highest popularity. Cheng Fangyan is also a smart person. He knows that he is not very popular, so he has been clinging to Xu Yuan's thighs from the beginning. Although the two are teammates, Xu Yuan has never put Cheng Fangyan on an equal footing with himself, and has always ordered him around like a dog. And Cheng Fangyan is willing to be Xu Yuan's loyal dog in order to get more resources.

Xia Zhi didn't make a sound, but looked around. He quickly determined the source of the sound, which seemed to come from the other side. He moved forward a few steps with light footsteps. When he reached the end of the path, he saw two men squatting by the wall at the corner. They were wearing ancient costumes, holding a cigarette in one hand and puffing out smoke, and a can of beer in the other hand.

Xia Zhi calmly took two steps back, leaned gently against the wall, and continued to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Cheng Fangyan slandered Jiang Zhixia severely, and then praised Xu Yuan to the heavens, and finally made Xu Yuan happy.

Cheng Fangyan has no face and no talent, and is not outstanding in the entertainment industry. The reason he can often appear in film and television works now is all thanks to Xu Yuan who brings him into the crew in a packaged manner. In a sense, Xu Yuan can be regarded as his financial sponsor, so he now wishes he could worship Xu Yuan as his ancestor, and is cautious and careful again and again, for fear that one day he would accidentally offend him and cut off his last bit of reliance in the entertainment industry with his own hands.

"Brother Xu, I really feel sorry for you," Cheng Fangyan knew that Xu Yuan couldn't stand Jiang Zhixia, so he deliberately said something bad, "How can you say he is better than you? His acting skills are terrible, and his looks are just so-so. Compared with Brother Xu, he is not even a little bit worse. Netizens nowadays have no taste, they treat a stinky stone as a treasure."

Xu Yuan did not agree, but it was obvious that Cheng Fangyan's mindless flattery pleased him, because Cheng Fangyan seemed to be encouraged and flattered even more vigorously.

"Jiang Zhixia is a hypocritical villain. He pretends to be upright and noble on the surface, but who knows how many rich thighs he has behind his back." Cheng Fangyan said angrily, "Otherwise, why is he the only one who is popular among Victoria? Only those fans are foolish enough to believe that their love is real. Bah! Jiang Zhixia is a hypocritical and selfish villain! Oh, and he has a violent tendency! Domestic violence men are like rats crossing the street nowadays. We really should expose his true face and let everyone see what kind of person he is!"

"Violent tendencies?" Xu Yuan seemed a little confused. "How did you know that?"

"Brother Xu, you forgot." Cheng Fangyan reminded carefully, "When we went to XX TV station to participate in an event, didn't he beat you up in the stairwell?"

"… "

Cheng Fangyan's tone became more cautious: "Brother Xu, what happened between you two that day? Why did you fight for no apparent reason?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Xu Yuan suddenly got angry, "He's a lunatic! I didn't even provoke him! He just went crazy for no reason! Damn it! "

In the alley, Xia Zhi narrowed his eyes.

Cheng Fangyan urged, "Brother Xu, let's expose this matter! If netizens knew that he beat someone innocently, it would definitely ruin his career!"

"Get lost! Are you dissatisfied with my peaceful life and want to give me some excitement?" Xu Yuan controlled his voice and growled angrily, "Jiang Zhixia beating people is dishonorable, but it's honorable for me to be beaten?"

"Brother Xu, that's not what I meant." Cheng Fangyan apologized carefully.

"You'd better give up on this idea!" Xu Yuan warned sternly, "If you dare to reveal a word about this, pack up and get out!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Brother Xu, don't be angry. I was confused and inconsiderate. I won't mention this again." Xu Yuan was in a state of mixed emotions, and the most fluent thing Cheng Fangyan said was various words of apology.

"Hmph!" Xu Yuan got angry at Cheng Fangyan for no reason. After he calmed down a bit, he started to order him around as if nothing had happened. "The beer is gone. Go get me another bottle."

"Okay, okay. I'll go right away." Cheng Fangyan felt as if he had been pardoned. He stood up and trotted back to the set to get beer.

The sound of messy footsteps sounded quickly and then disappeared quickly.

"Fuck!" As soon as Cheng Fangyan left, Xu Yuan suddenly became furious again. He threw the empty beer can to the ground and said through gritted teeth, "Jiang Zhixia! You lingering bastard!"

Xia Zhi was startled by Xu Yuan's rage, and at the same time, he couldn't help but become curious - how cruel was Jiang Zhixia back then? How come Xu Yuan still hated him after so many years

He suddenly felt a little regretful that he had not gotten to the bottom of the matter.

Jiang Zhixia said that Xu Yuan was too talkative, but how talkative must he be to make the "abuser" beat him to death and make the "victim" hold a grudge against him for many years

Xia Zhi leaned against the wall, rubbing his toes on the ground. For a moment, he had the urge to go out and ask Xu Yuan in person, but he quickly denied it. Jiang Zhixia despised Xu Yuan to the core, and he didn't like him either.

Xia Zhi listened carefully for a while and found that Xu Yuan was immersed in his anger and was about to leave. However, at this moment, Xu Yuan suddenly staggered in from the intersection, holding up the hem of his wide white robe with one hand and pretending to untie his belt with the other hand, obviously coming in to urinate.

But at this moment, he stiffened his body, clutching his belt with his right hand, and looked at the person in front of him in astonishment, and the urge to urinate disappeared instantly.

"Xia Zhi!" Xu Yuan shouted in surprise, looking a little panicked.

Seeing him so flustered, Xia Zhi calmed down instead, and gave him a perfunctory smile: "Long time no see, Xu Yuan."

Xu Yuan also calmed down and asked him in a deep voice: "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to visit the set next door." Xia Zhi smiled at him again, and this time there was a hint of provocation in his smile.

As expected, Xu Yuan's expression changed immediately.

Xia Zhi ignored him and continued, "I didn't expect to run into you here. If Zhixia hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you'd started filming. I look forward to seeing your work."

Xu Yuan's face darkened even more, and anger surged in his heart. Don't think he couldn't hear that this was a satire on the fact that none of his dramas were popular!

That was exactly what Xia Zhi meant. He was already furious when he heard them slandering Jiang Zhixia. Now that he was facing Xu Yuan, he suddenly remembered the historical conflicts between the two groups. With new hatreds and old grudges, it would be a miracle if he could still be in a good mood with Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan suppressed his anger and sneered, "You are quite impressive now. You have become an associate professor. You must have paid a lot for this title, right?"

Xia Zhi had a feeling that his words "I've made a lot of sacrifices" had bad intentions, so she kept calm and didn't respond.

"Can I ask you a question?" He calmly changed the subject.

"What?"

"Did the fight between you and Zhixia have anything to do with me?"

"Oh, so Jiang Zhixia didn't tell you for all these years." Xu Yuan chuckled in surprise, "You said he is really a strange person. He stood up for you behind your back and even wanted to sacrifice his life, but why is he so silent in front of you?"

"What exactly happened to you back then?" Xia Zhi's expression became a little more serious.

"It's nothing, actually." Xu Yuan raised one corner of his mouth and showed a frivolous smile. "I just mentioned you casually when I was on the phone with a friend. I didn't expect that guy to hear it. Then he got angry and wanted to beat me up."

"What did you say?" Xia Zhi asked with a frown.

"What are you asking?" Xu Yuan didn't know whether he was not so alert because he was drunk, or he wanted to disgust him on purpose, but the secret that Cheng Fangyan had refused to tell him no matter what, he now told him out very readily.

"I said two words at that time, and then Jiang Zhixia punched me twice." Xu Yuan gave Xia Zhi a provocative smile, raised a finger, and said, "The first word was about you. I told my friend that you looked like a jerk. Shit."

Xia Zhi's face suddenly darkened.

Xu Yuan laughed even more happily: "That's right, Jiang Zhixia had the same expression at that time, hahaha. Then he punched me in the chin."

Xia Zhi suppressed his anger and asked coldly, "And then?"

"Then? He hit me, so of course I had to fight back, and then we wrestled together." Xu Yuan smiled wickedly, "It's a pity that you didn't see that scene. Jiang Zhixia's expression was even uglier than yours at that time. I don't know if he thought I was scolding him. So I said another sentence."

Xu Yuan paused, and seemed to be very satisfied with Xia Zhi's current expression. His tone became more and more provocative: "I grabbed his collar and asked him why he was so excited? Did I hit your mind? Did you want to do it too? Guess what happened? He punched me in the chin again, with much more force than the first time."

"I just said something bad to you, but he got so angry that he acted like I was going to beat him up. He must have been pissed off because I hit him right in the heart." Xu Yuan seemed tired of talking, so he propped himself up against the wall with one hand and spoke more slowly. "Xia Zhi, don't you think it's scary? You treat him as a friend, but he covets your ass. I advise you to break up with him as soon as possible."

Xia Zhi waited patiently for him to finish speaking before walking towards him, muttering to himself, "Jiang Zhixia really didn't lie to me."

"I didn't lie to you." Xu Yuan said.

"You really deserve a beating for your mouth!"

"boom-"

The moment the word "beat" came out of his mouth, Xia Zhi's fist had already landed on Xu Yuan's chin.

"Ah!" Xu Yuan was caught off guard and fell heavily to the ground after a howl.

"Someone help me... Ah!" He wanted to shout for help, but Xia Zhi's second punch came down again. "Ah—Xia Zhi! How dare you hit me!"

"Why shouldn't I hit you?" Xia Zhi punched him twice in the face. "Do you really think that just because I've been teaching for a few years, anyone can bully me?"

The face is prone to bruises, so Xia Zhi stopped after two punches and focused on the body. His usual gentleness and calmness were gone, and the fierceness in his eyes was still breathtaking even through the glass lenses.

"You dare to talk about others when you are criticized by others? If you can't write the word shameless, then carve it on your face!"

"Stop, stop hitting me!" Xu Yuan was able to curse a few times at first, but after being pinned to the ground by Xia Zhi and receiving three punches and four kicks, he finally learned his lesson and begged for mercy without any image, "I, I was wrong, stop hitting me! I won't dare to do it again!"

Perhaps Xu Yuan’s crying attracted the people on the set, and Xia Zhi heard a series of footsteps approaching quickly.

After beating Xu Yuan, he finally vented his anger and stopped fighting. Finally, he stepped on Xu Yuan's waist and warned him harshly: "Don't let me see you in the future, otherwise I will beat you every time I see you!" After that, he spat fiercely, turned around and walked out quickly.

The next second after he walked out of the alley, the crew of "Like Sugar" arrived and found Xu Yuan lying on the ground wailing in pain. They were all shocked.

"Xu Yuan! Xu Yuan! What's wrong with you?"

"Damn it! Who is so bold as to beat someone up on the set? Call the police! You must call the police!"

"Xu Yuan, who hit you?"

Xu Yuan was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. He glared at the direction where Xia Zhi left. The staff understood instantly, and several tall and strong young men looked at each other and chased after him.

At this time, Xia Zhi had already disappeared.

He expected Xu Yuan would not give up, so he ran away before the staff arrived. He ran back to the set as fast as he could, his breathing was a little rapid, but he was not afraid, instead he was trembling with excitement, just like a good student who suddenly did a bad thing without telling anyone, a little nervous and a little excited.

He stood at the gate, holding his chest and calming his breathing. Jiang Chi just walked out, seemingly preparing to go out to look for him.

"Eh? Teacher Xia, why are you back? I was just about to go look for you." Jiang Chi apologized to him and explained, "The assistant director just talked to me about something. I'm sorry for taking up so much time."

Xia Zhi waved his hand nonchalantly and asked straight to the point, "Where's Jiang Zhixia?"

"He's in the lounge, just finished putting on his makeup."

Xia Zhi walked quickly towards the lounge again.

He pushed open the door of the lounge and saw Jiang Zhixia standing at the door, seemingly preparing to come out.

Jiang Zhixia noticed the sweat on his forehead and reached out to pull him in: "Where have you been? Why are you sweating so much?"

Xia Zhi said nothing, just looked at him quietly, and suddenly a warm smile appeared on her face.

Jiang Zhixia was even more puzzled: "What happened? Why are you so happy?"

Xia Zhi still didn't say anything, but grabbed Jiang Zhixia who was about to go back to get tissues, lightly hooked the door of the lounge with his toes, raised his face and kissed those thin lips.

Jiang Zhixia was slightly stunned. Before his mind could react to the situation in front of him, his body's instinct had already commanded him to put his arms around the person in front of him, lower his head, and kiss him deeply.
