The two pairs of eyes looked at each other with undisguised surprise.
In just a moment, Lin Xi came back to his senses. He immediately took a step back, straightened his waist, and kept a distance of nearly one meter from Uno. Everything suddenly returned to normal, as if the slightly beautiful atmosphere just now had never existed.
Lin Xi coughed lightly, and said, "That... thank you so much."
Uno woke up when a clear male voice sounded in the empty corridor. His straight eyebrows frowned, and after a while, he replied in a low voice: "It's okay."
As soon as the voice fell, the awkward atmosphere shrouded the small corridor again in an instant. As if the air was about to freeze, Lin Xi felt that the forced smile on his lips could hardly be maintained. After an unknown amount of time, he sighed softly and asked, "This afternoon, why did you ignore... Qin Ru?"
Hearing this, Uno was taken aback and didn't answer.
Just when Lin Xi was about to ask again, Uno suddenly lowered his dark eyes and said, "I don't like Qin Ru." At first, it seemed that he was just explaining the facts plainly, but there was something in his tone There was a trace of helplessness.
After hearing this, Lin Xi raised her eyes in doubt, and asked, "But you have been single all these years, isn't it..."
"I like men."
"..."
It seemed that he was not at all worried about whether this sentence would be heard by other passers-by, and he seemed very relieved of the sound insulation effect of the hotel's walls. Uno said it straightforwardly and simply. The tone was flat, neither high nor low, but it sounded like a violent storm in Lin Xi's heart.
And the influence of this sentence was so deep that he didn't react until the Nanmu gate was gently closed in front of Lin Xi.
Lin Xi stared at the brown door frame quietly for a long time, only the sound of water dripping on the floor could be heard from the bathroom from time to time in the quiet room. Slowly, thoughts floated back from the distant sky. Lin Xi's eyes widened, his fingers clenched the small glass bottle of essential oil, and he said to himself in a daze, "Uno... like men?!"
When Lin Xi was filming the next day, when he saw that calm and composed man again, he didn't have the nerve to go up and talk to him. Fortunately, Uno had a lot of shots the next day, so he didn't come to Lin Xi as usual, which made Lin Xi heave a sigh of relief.
Still feel awkward.
One is because, knowing Uno's "secret" in this way, and the other party said it so unscrupulously, it is difficult to forget it easily. The second is... He actually misunderstood that Uno liked Qin Ru.
It seems that he really thought too much about this matter.
Uno put a Boguan Astronomical Telescope in the attic of his home, probably for viewing the starry sky. There are not a few people in the circle who are interested in astronomy, and even he himself has a great interest in this aspect. It's just that the window of the attic is right on Tianyu's apartment, so I actually made myself think so much, really... In the end, I actually forced him to admit that I like men, which shows how much I have caused the other party by what I said in the past few days troubled.
I'm afraid it must be very funny to Uno's ears.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt ashamed, Lin Xi didn't have the guts to apologize to Uno all day long.
What he didn't know was that every time he lowered his head and sighed, Uno also frowned and looked at himself with a serious expression, secretly thinking in his heart:...Did I remind too much last night
When two people whose thinking is completely different from the same dimension meet, the issues they consider are no longer measurable by the Mariana Trench.
After finishing work that day, Lin Xi quickly returned to the hotel. Uno didn't take the initiative to look for him, and Lin Xi didn't take the initiative to look for him. Perhaps it was because he escaped too hastily. When Lin Xi returned to the room, he realized that he had left without taking the lunch box from the crew. Unfortunately, Wang Fang was left behind by Xu Qi today, and he wanted to discuss the work arrangements for the next few days with the assistant director, and it was impossible to come back early.
Lin Xi had no choice but to sigh helplessly, and went downstairs to the hotel's catering department honestly, preparing to order a simple meal to fill his stomach.
As soon as he stepped out of the elevator and hadn't turned a corner, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in his sight. For some reason, Lin Xi's footsteps froze for an instant, and the thought "It's actually Qin Ru" flashed in his mind, and the next second he saw the tall and thin man standing beside Qin Ru.
Holding on to the familiar pair of black-rimmed glasses, Xu Qi chuckled and nodded, not knowing what he was talking to Qin Ru. The two seemed like old friends who had known each other for many years. While walking upstairs from the stairs, they walked into the door of the food and beverage department in harmony, and then Qiqi stopped at the ordering entrance.
They are obviously two people who should have no intersection at all, but they are able to talk to each other at this moment.
Lin Xi frowned, looking at the two people's receding backs with thoughtful eyes. But his eyes were more focused on the man in the beige sweater on one side.
Xu Qi... Xu Qi...
Seeing the two people sitting down in the hotel's catering department, Lin Xi couldn't help hesitating, wondering if he should go in at this time. Just as he was vacillating, suddenly, a deep and hoarse male voice sounded from behind Lin Xi: "What are you looking at?"
"!" Instantly realizing who the other party was, Lin Xi subconsciously turned around to look at him, and his eyes fell into a pair of dark and deep eyes. Looking at the other party's calm expression, Lin Xi said helplessly: "Why are you here?"
"I saw that you left without dinner, so I brought something back for you." Uno said, shaking the plastic bag in his hand, and continued: "I knocked on your door just now, and no one Open the door. I guess, you should come to the catering department to look for food."
Without denying the other party's ironic statement of "foraging", Lin Xi reached out to take the plastic bag from the other party's hand without politeness, and said, "Thank you. What happened yesterday... I thought too much, You don't have to tell me."
Upon hearing this, Uno raised his eyebrows lightly, with a slight smile in his tone: "It's okay, it's not... a big deal."
"..." Although the sexual orientation of many people in the circle needs to be investigated, it is the first time Lin Xi has seen someone who doesn't care as much as Uno.
He didn't ask too much, raised the lunch box in his hand, and said, "Since I've got dinner, I'll go back to my room first. Do you have anything else to do? Do you want to go together... um? What are you looking at?" ?” Before Lin Xi finished speaking, he saw Uno raised his eyes and didn’t know what he was looking at.
He followed Uno's gaze and turned around, only to see Xu Qi saying something unknown at the table in the northeast corner of the restaurant, which caused Qin Ru to bend his almond eyes and smile brightly. The relaxed mood gradually subsided, and Lin Xi frowned.
Before he could speak, Uno suddenly said, "This Xu Qi...you have to be more careful."
Not understanding the meaning of the other party all of a sudden, Lin Xi asked subconsciously: "What?"
"He used to be my assistant." After a pause, Uno added: "Before Xiao Zhang."
"Your assistant?!"
Uno nodded: "Yeah. Later Zhao Xian replaced him, but I didn't expect that...he was actually under Zhu Qing's hands and became his manager's assistant."
Lin Xi looked at Xu Qi in the distance in surprise. Seeing the gentle and kind appearance of the other party, when he first came to the film crew to meet Uno, there was not even a slight difference in his expression, as if he really met the other party for the first time. I didn't expect... There is such a thing
"Zhao Xian won't dismiss others easily. He must have his own intentions in doing so." Seemingly summed up casually, Uno looked down at Lin Xi and asked without looking at others. : "Go back together?"
"okay."
The two took the elevator upstairs together. Looking at the constantly changing numbers on the top of the elevator, Lin Xi suddenly asked, "What do you think of Xu Qi?"
Hearing this, Uno glanced at Lin Xi lightly. The latter looked calm, as if he really just asked a casual question.
Uno said categorically: "The ambition is great."
Hearing Uno's words without a trace of concealment, Lin Xi was slightly taken aback, and didn't ask any more questions. Just when the elevator reached the floor, the two walked out of the elevator door together. No one spoke, but the atmosphere was not awkward at all. After saying hello, Lin Xi opened the door and entered the room.
Putting the two-layer box lunch on the small table in the center of the balcony, Lin Xi took advantage of the opportunity and sat on the single sofa beside him. While removing the disposable bamboo chopsticks, he lowered his eyes in thought. With the sound of "Crack—", he easily disassembled the light chopsticks, but they were still held high in the air, and he didn't put down the chopsticks for a long time.
Before meeting Xu Qi, Lin Xi never felt that this person was easy. Just being a manager's assistant was able to single-handedly get AO's Asian endorsement for Zhu Qing when he participated in the academy awards. This not only shows the superior ability of the other party, but also shows—
He is very ambitious.
Just like now, even though he only got along with Wu Zhen for a piece of "Dark War", he was able to leave such a good impression on him. Xu Qi's ability can be seen. It's just that he doesn't know whether he was born with the capital to earn a living, or... for a certain goal that must be achieved, he trained himself to be as good as he is now.
According to Zhao Xian's judgment, it is obvious that Xu Qi is the latter.
Lowering his eyes, Lin Xi put the bamboo disposable chopsticks aside, and gently opened the delicately packaged lunch box. As soon as it was opened, the aroma of food came to the nostrils. The food that is delicious in color and fragrance makes people feel appetizing when they look at it. And everything was what Lin Xi hoped for, which made him twitch his index finger even when he was starving.
He quickly put a piece of sweet and sour meat into his mouth, and he narrowed his eyes in satisfaction at the sweet and sour taste.
As for Xu Qi
As long as it's not related to yourself, then don't worry too much.
No matter what purpose Xu Qi has, he not only believes in Ji Chengshu's ability, but also is very confident... he will not give the other party any chance.
As for this idea, after arriving on the set on the third day, after hearing Xu Qi's words with a smile, Lin Xi was completely intimidated in place.
"I got a message from Qin Ru the day before yesterday that ZP is looking for a new Asian endorsement. So yesterday I flew to City S and negotiated with the person in charge of their Asian region. They approved your information." After a pause, Xu Qi smiled again and said, "That is to say, after the filming of "Yin Ge Jue 2" is finished, they hope you can go to the Rotten Kingdom to shoot their photoshoots and posters."
"..."
"ZP?!!!" Wang Fang's eyes widened and he exclaimed.
Restraining the great shock in his heart, Lin Xi looked at this ordinary-looking man seriously, and asked, "Is ZP's endorsement?"
Xu Qi nodded affirmatively, and said with a smile: "Well, that's ZP. But according to what they said, it's just an endorsement of their men's perfume. After all, the other party is an international big name. You haven't won an award yet, and you can endorse one of their products. It's been great."
Am I good
Lin Xi couldn't help curling his lips when he heard the words, and shook his head with a light smile: "It's your credit. Thank you for your hard work."
"No, I should do it." Xu Qi replied calmly, without seeming to take credit for it, as if he really just did a simple little thing. However, Lin Xi stared at this man seriously with his eyes downcast, his eyes were complicated, but there was an elegant smile on his face.
After a while, a phone rang suddenly. Xu Qi quickly answered the phone and walked out of the set, gradually disappearing from Lin Xi's sight. Before he could look away from the distance, Lin Xi suddenly heard a low male voice beside him, with a strong self-deprecating tone: "Boss... am I particularly useless?"
Lin Xi was taken aback when he heard the words, and turned to look at Wang Fang.
I saw the little fat man looking at the ground dejectedly, without the look of admiration and longing just now.
"Seeing Brother Xu is so powerful, I will also be jealous. I heard from Brother Ji that Brother Xu was just the assistant of Zhu Tianwang before, and he climbed up to this position step by step by himself. Even Brother Ji ... thinks Brother Xu very much Well." Sighing, Wang Fang lowered his voice a little bit: "I know Brother Xu is my own strength, I don't have any capital to be jealous of others... But why am I so stupid? Not very capable."
Hearing Wang Fang's self-defeating words, Lin Xi couldn't help but darken his face, and said, "You have your own strengths. You are as strict as Director Wu, and you can even fight wine with him, which shows that Director Wu really likes you This little fat guy." Turning his eyes, Lin Xi couldn't help sighing, and said: "Besides, Xu Qi didn't reach the sky in one step, and was born with such outstanding strength."
Hearing this, Wang Fang suddenly opened his eyes full of hope, and asked cautiously: "Really! Can I become a person like Brother Xu one day? Help the boss easily get what ZP, AO endorsement or something!"
After thinking about the past few months of getting along, the little fat man's head is obviously not very bright. Lin Xi couldn't bear to tell the cruel facts, so he changed the subject with a chuckle, avoided Wang Fang's question, and said, "Besides, maybe Xu Qi wants to be someone like you? Even if he , and there is no way to get along with the entire crew as well as you. I have been to so many crews and met so many people..." The voice froze suddenly, and Lin Xi was stunned.
He immediately lowered his eyes to look at Wang Fang, only to see that the other party was still looking at him with a pair of star eyes, as if he didn't notice the loophole in what he said just now. Mourning the little fat man's IQ in his heart again, Lin Xi continued: "You are really the easiest person I've ever met, the easiest to be trusted."
Lin Xi didn't mean to lie to comfort Wang Fang in this sentence. As far as being able to chat with each other without any scruples, Wang Fang is really a born nervous. When talking to such a person, there is no need to beat around the bush and think hard about what to say and what not to say.
Just as Lin Xi was thinking, he suddenly saw Wang Fang clenched his fists and said confidently: "Don't worry, boss! I will definitely not let you down!"
"..." Could it be that in what he said just now, did he make any demands on the little fat man
"Even if I can't become as powerful as Brother Xu, I will definitely work hard to be the best assistant!"
Hearing the little fat man's ambitious words, Lin Xi smiled lightly and shook his head, and said, "Wang Fang, do you know?"
It was the first time he heard Lin Xi call out his name in such a serious tone, the little fat man turned to look at Lin Xi in surprise.
I saw Lin Xi frowned delicately, and said with a slight smile: "Sometimes, people don't need to be so powerful to live well. Too many thoughts are not a good thing."
Wang Fang touched his head in confusion, and nodded with a vague understanding.
Not far away, Uno heard this, but couldn't help but looked up at the young man standing upright under the sun. There was a hint of a smile in the cold and indifferent eyes, and the handsome face became vivid.
But Lin Xi still smiled lightly and taught the little fat man earnestly: "If you become Xu Qi, then you will no longer be Wang Fang, you know? There must be rewards and sacrifices in life, and you can choose to be Miranda." , can also be Andy. The achievement of appearance, not necessarily... "
Wang Fang interrupted suspiciously: "Hey boss, who is Miranda? Who is Andy?"
"..." Lin Xi was speechless for a moment, and finally sighed softly, saying: "You should continue to work hard in the direction of Xu Qi."
"QAQ"
