Jiang Long was a human being in his previous life, and he woke up after falling from the divine platform. Chen Xiao would never have thought that it was himself and Qi Yubai who made him work hard in his previous life. As a result, the atmosphere was full of gunpowder every time the three of them met after they disliked each other.
Of course, that’s a later story, so let’s not talk about it for now.
While Jiang Long was hiding in the quilt crying, Chen Xiao and Qi Yubai whispered to each other all night long and did not wake up until noon the next day.
The bedroom window was left a cracked, and the off-white curtains swayed in the wind, casting a shadow on the floor. A few rays of sunlight leaked in through the cracks, and dust could be vaguely seen dancing. Only the clothes scattered and crumpled at the end of the bed silently revealed what had happened last night.
Qi Yubai had been having trouble breathing in his sleep, and finally woke up in a daze, only to see Chen Xiao pressing on him without him noticing. Their skin was touching, and the temperature was incredibly hot.
Qi Yubai once thought that Chen Xiao had a fever, but then he thought that if he had a fever, it would be his own, so why did Chen Xiao have a fever? It was probably because the other party had a very good physique, and his body temperature was higher than that of ordinary people.
Qi Yubai frowned and pushed Chen Xiao, wanting to say something, but when he opened his mouth, his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't even speak. It was probably because he shouted himself hoarse last night, and it would take seven or eight days to recover.
Son of a bitch…
Qi Yubai felt powerless. He cursed inwardly and used some strength to wake Chen Xiao up: "Get up."
Chen Xiao had woken up long ago and had been pretending to sleep. Upon hearing this, he opened his eyes, turned sideways and stretched, then tilted his head and smiled at Qi Yubai and winked: "Are you awake?"
Qi Yubai was so tired that he didn't even want to talk. What couple unlocked eighteen postures for the first time driving? Even if they practiced dancing, they couldn't stand it. Although Chen Xiao cleared himself afterwards, he still felt uncomfortable to some extent.
Qi Yubai struggled to move on the bed, buried his face in the pillow, and said weakly: "I'm so hungry..."
He had spent the entire night eating nothing and was so hungry that he didn't even have the energy to get out of bed.
Chen Xiao was the opposite, not tired at all, full of energy. He pulled Qi Yubai into his arms, forehead to forehead, nose to nose, and said excitedly: "What do you want to eat? I'll make it."
Qi Yubai glanced at him and said, "You can cook? How come I don't know?"
He had only seen Chen Xiao cook instant noodles and beat eggs with one hand.
Chen Xiao thought to himself, you don't know how much there is. He remembered that there were still some vegetables in the refrigerator, so he threw off the quilt and got up, quickly put on his clothes and said, "Wait, I'll go cook."
Qi Yubai subconsciously tried to stand up, but he fell down again because of something pulling his brows. It took him a long while to recover. He rubbed his lower back in the quilt, thinking that he could just let Chen Xiao cook whatever he wanted. If the rice tasted bad, he could just cook instant noodles.
However, he obviously underestimated Chen Xiao's cooking skills. Before long, an alluring aroma of food wafted through the air. It smelled of sweet and sour tomatoes, like cooking spaghetti bolognese.
Qi Yubai quietly opened his eyes and suddenly felt even hungrier. He struggled to get up from the bed, found a shirt from Chen Xiao in the closet and put it on, then left the bedroom. At that time, Chen Xiao was standing in front of the stove, boiling sauce, cutting vegetables and seasoning in an orderly manner, without any confusion, and it seemed that he really knew how to cook.
Qi Yubai leaned against the door frame, staring at Chen Xiao's back for a while, inexplicably absorbed. He moved forward quietly, suddenly hugged Chen Xiao from behind, and put his face against his back, rubbing it gently.
Chen Xiao paused and looked at Qi Yubai: "Why aren't you lying on the bed?"
He did go a bit too far yesterday, but Qi Yubai just kept cooperating. It was fun, but also really tiring.
Qi Yubai didn't say anything. After a moment, he hummed lazily, "I'm hungry."
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows when he heard that. He used tongs to scoop up the soft pasta in the pot and put it on a plate. He poured a large spoonful of tomato meat sauce on it and said, "Go sit down. It's time to eat."
Qi Yubai didn't move, and felt very comfortable leaning on Chen Xiao's back. Chen Xiao held the plate in one hand and pulled him into his arms with the other, half hugging and half hugging him towards the dining table: "Are you really hungry or just pretending to be hungry? You won't eat even if the food is in front of you?"
Qi Yubai was of course really hungry. He just felt a little dazed when he saw Chen Xiao busy cooking in the kitchen, and he had an illusion of home. He pulled out a chair and sat down at the table, feeling the pain behind him. He frowned slightly, then slowly relaxed his brows and took the plate from Chen Xiao: "Of course I'm really hungry."
Although Qi Yubai said this, he sat at the table without eating. Instead, he waited for Chen Xiao to sit down before he started eating with him. Even though he was extremely hungry, he didn't eat voraciously. He ate one mouthful at a time, slowly.
In his previous life, Chen Xiao thought Qi Yubaichou was very particular, but now he liked him more and more. After all, one should eat in a refined manner, and not be like Jiang Long, who was so hungry that he ate everything in a flash.
Chen Xiao suddenly remembered something and asked, "Do you have any plans for the next few days?"
Qi Yubai glanced at him and seemed to smile, but it was not very obvious: "Why, you want to date me?"
Chen Xiao was afraid that he would be tired: "It's not impossible."
Qi Yubai opened his phone and glanced at it: "I have to attend the Golden Melody Awards Ceremony next week. I will try on clothes today, get familiar with the process the day after tomorrow, and rest the day after tomorrow."
Compared to Qi Yubai's previous busy days, the schedule for the past few days was already quite leisurely. Chen Xiao keenly caught something and subconsciously asked, "Is Huasheng holding an awards ceremony?"
Qi Yubai nodded, which was considered as acquiescence. He didn't know what he remembered, and suddenly looked at Chen Xiao, raised his eyebrows and said: "By the way, Jiang Long is also nominated for this Golden Melody Award, and he will be there. You and he are in the same company, maybe you will have the opportunity to go in as a guest of honor."
The rule in Shanghua is that the old should guide the new, and the elders should guide the younger. Chen Xiao is already their chosen newcomer, and the top management might actually get an invitation letter and ask Jiang Long to take him out to see the world.
But Chen Xiao was no longer the silly straight man he was before. He keenly heard the hidden meaning in Qi Yubai's words. He took a mouthful of noodles, looked up at the sky, and pretended to be stupid: "Jiang Long? I don't know him well, and I won't go even if he takes me. If you tell me, I might consider it."
Qi Yubai curled his lips slightly when he heard this, and said coldly: "I would like to take you with me, but I'm afraid your agent would not agree."
It’s all Chen Xiao’s fault. He insisted on signing Shanghua in the first place.
Qi Yubai had just mentioned the Golden Melody Gala casually, but he didn't expect it to come true. Shanghua actually wanted Jiang Long to bring Chen Xiao to the media to pave the way for his debut.
"What?! You want me to take Chen Xiao to the award ceremony?? Why?! I won't take him! Not even if I die!"
Jiang Long cried all night and was resting his broken and fragile heart at home. However, he almost jumped up from the sofa when he received a call from his agent Chang Ning early in the morning. It was because the company's senior management wanted to arrange for Chen Xiao to attend the Golden Melody Gala with him.
Chang Ning had already figured out Jiang Long's bad temper: "Don't tell me, go tell the boss, I'm just conveying the higher-ups' message. After all, you and Chen Xiao are brothers in the same company, why are you making things so awkward?"
Jiang Long wanted to cry again, "Bah! Who is his fellow apprentice? I would rather hug my mother and raise ducks to the red carpet than be with Chen Xiao."
Chang Ning had a headache, wondering when Jiang Long would be more mature: "Perspective, Jiang Long, perspective! The company's top management was already very unhappy when you were mocked by the crowd when you practiced dancing last time. If you continue to slack off like this, it won't be long before a newcomer will replace you. There are too many resources in the entertainment industry, and you are not useless, especially since the company has positioned Chen Xiao's development path exactly the same as yours. Aren't you just walking into trouble by throwing a tantrum now?"
Jiang Long pressed down on the pillow on the sofa and beat it to death, almost dying on the spot. Finally, he bowed his head to Xian and said anxiously, "I know!"
After all, the Golden Melody Awards is a major event in the music industry, and netizens have always paid close attention to it. After all, it is a great honor for fans to have their idol on the list. The official list of invited guests was later announced by Huasheng Entertainment, but when netizens were counting the guests on the list with great interest, they found that Chen Xiao was also on the list.
They were surprised at first, but after thinking about it, they understood instantly.
Chen Xiao has been very popular recently, and he has also been involved in the music industry since he helped Qi Yubai compose music. Shang Hua is planning to promote him, otherwise he would not have specially invited a newcomer.
When Chen Xiao and Tang Yan heard the news, they were not surprised at all. Shanghua's style of doing things has always been like this, and Jiang Long has been a little arrogant recently. The top management probably wants to use him to put some pressure on Jiang Long and give him a sense of crisis.
But it doesn't matter. Chen Xiao was just trying to find out who drugged Qi Yubai in his previous life, and the award ceremony was undoubtedly a good opportunity. The other party poisoned Qi Yubai's voice and didn't want him to sing. It was most likely a competitor.
A total of four people were nominated for this Washington Golden Melody Awards: Qi Yubai, Jiang Long, Li Hexi, and Cen Rang.
Leaving Jiang Long aside, the remaining two people are highly suspicious.
The award ceremony was held at 6pm, and Tong Yue arranged for a car to park downstairs of Chen Xiao's house in advance for easy pick-up and drop-off. Stars are supposed to have their hair styled for the red carpet, but Chen Xiao unilaterally refused to put on makeup and hairspray. Tong Yue saw that he had a good foundation, so it didn't matter whether he did the hair style or not, so he reluctantly agreed.
When celebrities attend large events, their clothes are usually sponsored by brands, so they can’t choose them themselves. Although Chen Xiao is very popular recently, he doesn’t have any representative works after all, so he has to wear whatever the sponsor gives him.
Tong Yue sent a wine red suit yesterday, with a black shirt underneath, which was bold yet calm. Someone else might not be able to wear it, but Chen Xiao was very suitable. He was originally a little gangster, and this eye-catching color just fits his personality—
Although Chen Xiao seriously suspected that the clothes were sent to him by Jiang Long because he didn't want them.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Tong Yue parked the car downstairs of Chen Xiao's house. Fortunately, it was getting dark and no one noticed them. Chen Xiao opened the door and got in. However, before he sat down, he sneezed at the strong smell of perfume inside.
“A-choo!”
Jiang Long sat in the back seat of the car, wearing a striking orange suit that was at the forefront of fashion. Anyone who saw him would give him a thumbs up. He sprayed half a bottle of perfume in a very showy way, and the whole car was filled with the smell. When he saw Chen Xiao sneezing, he glared at him and said, "Do you have manners?!"
It’s really rare that I knew the word “politeness” when I was young.
Chen Xiao felt a little short of breath. He took out a few tissues to cover his mouth and nose and said, "You sprayed too much cologne."
Jiang Long didn't want to take him with him: "You don't like to smell it!"
#He hates Chen Xiao the most#
Chen Xiao was recently single and was in a good mood. He raised his eyebrows when he heard this and generously decided not to quarrel with Jiang Long. It was just that he had no one to share his joy with, and he always felt that something was missing. You know, in his previous life, Jiang's father and mother had been so worried about finding a partner for their son. If they knew that their son was no longer single, who knows how happy they would be.
Jiang Long was sitting by the window, and suddenly saw Chen Chao moving towards him. He asked out of the blue, "How is your mother doing recently?"
Jiang Long was stunned when he heard this. His first reaction was that Chen Xiao, the little brat, actually dared to scold him: "Your mother is the bad one!"
