Chapter 42

Views:

The early winter morning sun lazily shines through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the off-white square floor tiles in the living room, and the light illuminates the fine dust particles in the air so that there is no place to hide. The heating was turned on in the room to separate it from the bitingly cold air outside the window, but at this moment Lin Xi felt inexplicably chilly all over.

His heart felt as if he had fallen into a deep ice cellar. From the first drop of blood to his whole body, he felt a feeling of being stiff and unable to move. He only felt a dryness in his throat, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

There was also an oppressive silence on the other end of the phone. There was not even a sound of breathing, but it seemed to be silently condemning. It was as if a blunt knife was cutting Lin Xi's nervous heart little by little, and the voice full of disappointment and grief kept echoing in his mind.

I don't know how long it has passed, and I don't know who made a low sigh first.

A deep and hoarse voice rang through the phone first: "How long have you been with Pan Lun?" Hearing this, Lin Xi was slightly stunned for a while, before he could deny it, he heard and Shu Shan smiled wryly, and said mockingly: " I thought you were the most suitable person to appear in the MV, but I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it... "

There was a hint of self-loathing in that tone, but more of a sense of guilt and regret. Lin Xi's eyes froze, and he immediately explained: "Shu Shan, don't get me wrong, I don't..."

"What did I misunderstand? What I misunderstood is that before Wenyuan's accident, you had to go to Yese dinner with Pan Lun every week, or did you always go to and from Tianyu in Pan Lun's car?" He Shu Shan's voice suddenly became urgent. He sneered, and his tone lacked the elegance and gentleness of the rumors outside: "Lin Xi, I really didn't expect you to use Wenyuan's face to come to me. No... I'm too stupid , actually let you pair of traitors..."

"Shu Shan!" Lin Xi hurriedly yelled loudly, interrupting Shu Shan's words of condemnation and anger. It seemed that he was also stunned by the sudden voice, and the conversation with Shu Shan stopped abruptly, and the initial calm was restored on the phone.

Lin Xi sighed softly in his heart, and those elegant and handsome eyes turned bloody with excitement. The corners of the bright red lips curled up slightly to reveal a bitter smile, he sighed helplessly and opened his lips: "Shu Shan, don't get excited, listen to me, okay?"

After waiting for a while, Lin Xi didn't get any reply from the phone. But when he heard that there was no beeping sound of being hung up on the phone, and after realizing that the other party was still listening, he felt both relieved and sad, and said, "First of all, there may be some ambiguity between Pan Lun and Lin Xi." Chu’s relationship, but it’s definitely not as nasty as you imagine.”

"Hehe, how dirty is it in my imagination?" He Shu Shan's tone was full of sarcasm, and his voice was quite high, as if he was very excited and angry. He couldn't suppress the anger of being betrayed and deceived from the bottom of his heart at all, so that he didn't find the inappropriate self-proclaimed language flaw in Lin Xi's words.

Listening to the angry voice on the phone, Lin Xi was both moved and helpless, and said, "Shu Shan, don't you know what kind of person Pan Lun is?" The ferocious face of that person on the rooftop that day seemed to appear in front of Xi's eyes again, he couldn't help but darken his eyes, and said coldly: "Hooking up and flirting, the best thing is to deceive with lies and seduce with benefits. , the two-pronged approach is almost invincible."

Lin Xi paused, and then recalled the scenes that happened in the past few years. While annoyed at his indecision and inability to cut grass and roots, he also inexplicably lamented that Pan Lun did a good job of keeping secrets in the next six or seven years, at least He didn't let himself realize that he actually wanted to hook up with Lin Xi again.

He and Shu Shan were probably stunned by Lin Xi's words, and there was no reply for a long time. Although he also stayed under Pan Lun's hands for a few years, Pan Lun definitely didn't have the guts to attack He Shu Shan. After all, the other party had lived with the president of CX Entertainment not long after he entered the circle, so he and Shu Shan naturally didn't know Pan Lun's true face very well.

Listening to the silence in the sound hole, for some reason, He Shu Shan's pale face reappeared in front of Lin Xi at the funeral that day. The expression was tragic and tragic, as if he had lost half his life, and it forced Lin Xi to swallow back the words that he wanted to keep concealing.

Lin Xi sighed heavily, and said: "No matter what the outside world thinks, I think Brother Qi will be very happy to have a friend like you. He has never believed in the cause of his death, and has been persistently investigating." Seeing the sad and painful white face of Shu Shan on the other side of the phone through the icy radio waves, Lin Xi couldn't help curling the corners of her lips, and said softly: "Don't worry, good and evil will be rewarded. Pan Lun should pay back, and he will definitely pay it back." Can't escape."

As soon as these words came out, He Shushan's surprised and confused voice suddenly sounded: "What do you mean? Lin Xi, do you know something, or did Pan Lun tell you..."

"Shu Shan." Lin Xi's low and soft voice rang through the phone, interrupting the conversation with Shu Shan. Under the warm winter sun, a light and quiet smile quietly appeared on Lin Xi's delicate and eye-catching face, and even the air was still for a moment.

The bull's head was wrong, Lin Xi suddenly said something specious: "Does that wound on your left wrist still hurt?"

Far away on the 72nd floor of Chu's Building in the third ring road of City B, He Shushan was wearing a thin beige sweater and standing quietly in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. After hearing these words, his gaze, which was originally looking at an unknown place outside the window, suddenly stopped, and those elegant and delicate eyes widened suddenly, with an expression of disbelief.

He raised his left hand subconsciously, with the palm facing up, so that the slender wrist faced him. I saw that the slender wrist was wearing a simple and elegant silver-white Omega mechanical watch. The metal strap was not thick, but it could cover the width of the white wrist by about one centimeter.

He Shushan suddenly felt a piercing pain in the wound covered by the strap, which he had not seen for a long time. He froze in place, completely unable to understand what the other party meant.

Before he recovered, he suddenly heard Lin Xi's long and deep sigh coming from the other end of the phone, he said: "Shu Shan, don't investigate any further." Lin Xi paused, then laughed again , added meaningfully: "Stop doing some stupid things, live well, and be with that person."

As soon as the voice finished, the phone was hung up before I could reply to Shu Shan.

He and Shu Shan's fingers holding the phone trembled slightly, his lips were half opened, and his shallow eyes were full of surprise and shock. After an unknown period of time, he gradually regained his composure. His gaze was quietly fixed on the shiny metal watch strap, and he did not move away for a long time.

In the silent room, there was a silence so peaceful that the air almost froze. Asahi slowly climbed from above the horizon, moving to the center of the vast blue sky. It is a rare sunny day that is not covered by smog, as if silently showing some incredible beauty.

After a while, the Omega mechanical watch used to cover it had been mercilessly thrown by its owner on the turquoise fabric sofa. He Shushan lowered his eyes, staring at the wrist that was obviously white because he hadn't seen the sun for a long time, and saw a hideous and ugly scar stretching across half of the wrist, covering the transparent and clear blue-red blood vessels. isolated.

He Shu Shan's clear pupils reflected this scar that had begun to show a pale flesh-colored color, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

No matter how viciously the morning sun of early winter radiates its power to devour people, it can only warm the stern cold wind. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows that isolate the cold air, it shines on He Shushan's flaxen hair, which only makes him feel A kind of warmth and... throbbing brought from the bottom of my heart.

What does Lin Xi... mean

-----------

Even if it is a working day, for the "princess" fans whose average age is 13 to 15 years old and the main force is junior high school students, there is no reason to stop them from supporting their prince and complaining for him.

Guo Xiao, who became popular with several idol romantic comedies, has always been called the charming little prince by fans. Correspondingly, his fans have always called themselves the "princesses" of His Royal Highness. If it is said that when Lin Xigang was revealed to replace Guo Xiao in "Dark War", the "princesses" were not in the mood to consider changing actors in the movie because they wanted to comfort and feel sorry for the injury of their prince, then Guo Xiao is now safe When they were discharged from the hospital, they finally "suddenly realized" a serious problem - why was Lin Xi able to step in and suddenly replace His Royal Highness in the movie

Look at their Highness, even if they encountered such a tragic car accident (I think), it didn't affect His Highness's handsomeness at all. As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, His Highness thought of work. How dedicated he is and how much he loves this movie!

Although this time he lost a character because of an accidental car accident, but... why is that Lin Xi's luck so good? ! How did he stay in the crew by such a coincidence, and managed to get the role that belongs to His Highness? !

The grievances that the "princesses" had accumulated for Guo Xiao for more than a month were finally completely ignited under the fuse of a Weibo post about "gossip is coming".

They began to frantically post on major BBS and post bar forums to complain for Guo Xiao, and even some fans with big brains still left messages on Lin Xi's post bar and Weibo, questioning whether Lin Xi was related to Guo Xiao's car accident.

This late war came fiercely, and less than ten hours later, it set off a big storm all over the Internet. Someone once said that loli fans are the nightmare of every true fan, then... a whole loli fan group is simply the top disaster of every other star fan group!

After a busy day, Han Xiaonan finally returned to the small apartment with his exhausted body. After resting for a while, she patted her round apple face to cheer herself up, and turned on the computer with great interest to communicate with the girls of Tianxian Duo.

In the days when there was no news about Lin Xi, they were able to dig out every piece of news related to Lin Xi with their wolf-like eyes. And yesterday, Tianxian has finished filming the MV and officially returned, so they have more topics to chat with. The classic phone with a big butt pouting turned on very slowly, and Han Xiaonan couldn't wait to go online—maybe Tianxian posted a new Weibo!

She had just opened the PP chat tool and hadn't moved the mouse when she suddenly saw a familiar icon flashing continuously in the lower right corner of the computer, accompanied by a message notification sound like a mine exploding in her ear.

The group is so lively, could it be... Tianxian really has something new? !

This idea quickly flashed through his mind, and Han Xiaonan immediately opened the fan group. Before she had time to open her mouth, she suddenly saw a series of complaint-like messages flashing across the screen—

Little naughty boy: Oh, I'll wipe it! There is no way to communicate with this group of loli! I just saw those princesses bursting into the post bar of the gods, posting something like "┋The palladium role is still ɡει珴钔His Royal Highness┊"!

Egg Yolk Crisp with Lotus Seed Paste: I'll give it a go! What word is this! Am I the only one who only understands "Character Return" and "His Royal Highness"!

Cang Cang: The earth is too dangerous, these princesses should hurry back to Mars! ! !

Keddy: Really! As soon as I opened Tianxian's Weibo today, I was about to see if there was any new news, but I was so scared by these flashing Martian texts that I almost sprayed water! I thought my computer was poisoned, and the web pages were garbled!

Egg Yolk Crisp with Lotus Seed Paste: Have you noticed that Tianxian's Weibo fans are decreasing!

Little naughty boy: Haha, when I saw those Martian texts on Weibo, I thought that the new version of Weibo for surfing was finally hacked by hackers hahahaha.

Cang Cang: I just saw in a fan group that a girl left the group, and said that the role of Guo Xiao was snatched by the gods! ORZ is obviously the fault of himself, okay, it's not Lin Xi's fault...

Little Naughty Boy: Don't care about those unsteady fans, they only have that little prince in their eyes now. Leaving the group because of this kind of boring thing, we Tianxian do not need those fools!

It's going to explode again, it's quitting the group, it's a fool, looking at the shocking words that keep swiping all over the screen, Han Xiaonan's heart beat wildly. She quickly pressed the keyboard and sent a message to ask.

A Flower in the South: What's the matter? I just went online, what happened this time

Egg Yolk Crisp with Lotus Seed Paste: Another…

Cang Cang: And...

Keddy: And...

Little naughty boy: again...

A Flower in the South: Alright! Who will tell me what kind of princess and what kind of prince is this? From where did a princess come, from Mars

Lotus Paste Egg Yolk Crisp: Xiao Nan, listen to me, it’s today...

Finally, a girl patiently began to tell Han Xiaonan what happened on the day she was away. As the lotus paste and egg yolk cake explained sentence by sentence, Han Xiaonan was angry and angry, and at the same time felt a faint feeling in her heart. Consolation, being able to find some not easy fake fans is also a kind of gain.

A Flower in the South: It's actually this kind of thing... Are those loli fans brainless? No one can predict accidents, okay? Just because of this kind of thing, I'm pinched and black, and I'm drunk!

Little Urchin: But it’s more than that! Some celestial companions actually quit the group and unfollowed them. I was in another group just now and saw what a girl said, compared to their looks, Guo Xiao is not bad, at least Guo Xiao still has a few idol dramas that are good.

Keddy: ORZ! Can those idol dramas of "Let's watch Thunderstorm" be compared with Tianxian's "Ling Shen" and "Dark War"! Can!

Cang Cang: It feels like both "Ling Shen" and "Dark War" are crying...

A Flower in the South: Haven't they seen the trailer of "Ling Shen" before? ! I have watched it over and over a dozen times, and every time I see the scene of Tianxian being whipped, I cry, okay

Egg Yolk Crisp with Lotus Seed Paste: Please don't mention it... When I think of Tianxian's unyielding little eyes, my heart breaks, doesn't it!

Keddy: Isn’t it true that QAQ was so elegant and noble at the beginning, why did it become…

As the night gradually darkened, this fan group called "The Concentration of Heavenly Immortals and Veterans" is still active. It's just... Before I knew it, girls, didn't you realize who it was! Who actually turned the original serious and sad topic into such weird directions as "how many times did you say that Tianxian was beaten at that time", "I don't know, why don't we count it after the feature film comes out"!

The style of painting is completely different!

Does anyone remember the Martian princesses who are roaring all over the Internet! They are almost turning into daylilies after being left out, okay

At this time, under the same rare bright starlight, two middle-aged men were standing in the general manager's office on the 33rd floor of the Tianyu Building, looking down at the floor, not daring to speak. Behind the mahogany table in front of them, a handsome man with a gloomy face slammed his palm on the thick table, making a loud "bang-" sound.

"Waste waste! You are all waste! If you can't do small things well, you will pay Guo Xiao. This is how you work for the company? Ah?!" When did two more obvious and deep nasolabial folds appear.

The middle-aged Mediterranean man standing on the left swallowed his saliva, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Pan, Guo Xiao has nothing to do with us. We just contacted Qiandu.com and 22CN.com to send some gossip. I can't do anything else."

"That's right, Mr. Pan, and CX and their media have taken care of them during this time, and it is the result of our best efforts to arrange a few news reports." The slightly fatter middle-aged man interjected, and then He added in a low voice with a voice that only he could hear: "Besides... who knows that Guo Xiao is so stupid, how long has it been since the car accident, and now he is posting this kind of Weibo..."

"What did you say?!" Pan Lun's voice suddenly increased, his eyes widened in anger, and he stared fiercely at the timid middle-aged man at the table. Seeing that the other party looked down and didn't dare to say anything, Pan Lun let out a cold snort from his nose, and then said viciously: "I don't care, Lin Xi's matter can be put aside for the time being. Xiao's matter is settled, and I will see the result tomorrow!"

As Pan Lun's figure was gradually covered by the closed elevator doors, the two middle-aged men who stood in the office fearfully and honestly finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed their bodies. The two looked at each other and smiled, both with bitter faces.

One of them sighed first, and said helplessly, "Old Guo, what are you talking about..."

The other person also had a bitter face, and said: "Pan Lun really said whatever he thought of. Yesterday he asked us to discredit Lin Xi, and today he asked us to wipe Guo Xiao's ass. Those brainless fans of Guo Xiao are scolding on the Internet. Cool, I can predict the headlines of the major newspapers tomorrow... "

Lao Guo's voice paused for a moment, the two looked at each other helplessly, and said together:

""Guo Xiao was safely discharged from the hospital, taking stock of the new ways to welcome fans in the entertainment circle."
