Since Tao Shiyan agreed to him, the agreement will take effect from today. It happened that Cheng Xi felt terribly uncomfortable and wanted to have a good sleep. He lifted up the quilt and hooked the slippers on the floor with his feet: "Let's go."
The boy's snow-white feet were also burned and glowed pink. Tao Shiyan raised his eyebrows: "Where are you going?"
"Your room," Cheng Xi urged, "Don't wait any longer. Let's go to bed quickly. There will be a morning show tomorrow."
Tao Shiyan: "..."
It sounds like there is some kind of ulterior deal going on.
The slippers were kicked far away, and the boy couldn't catch them. His little feet were still kicking around. Tao Shiyan stepped on them with his toes, "It's windy in the corridor, don't go out. Just sleep in your room. It's the same upstairs and downstairs."
"
Cheng Xi tensed his toes: "It's different. You have two bedrooms, and I only have one. If we were here, we would have to...sleep on the same bed."
Tao Shiyan: "It doesn't matter."
It's not like I haven't slept in a bed before.
"...No," Cheng Xi said urgently, "Give me shoes quickly!"
Seeing that he was a little annoyed, Tao Shiyan had no choice but to kick his shoes to his feet and put his jacket on him.
The windows of the hotel were very old, and there was air leakage in the corridor. Before going out, Tao Shiyan was worried, so he picked up Cheng Xi's blanket and wrapped him in the middle.
Cheng Xi was wrapped like a silkworm and could only squirm stiffly behind him. Fortunately, no one liked to go out on heavy rainy days. If they saw the two of them, they might think that some ancient secret technique in western Hunan had revived!
When it was 303, Cheng Xi took the initiative to sleep on his side while holding Tao Shiyan's clothes. He was still burning, so in order to take care of him, Tao Shiyan deliberately left the bedroom door open so that no one would faint and not be found inside.
The next morning, Tao Shiyan was awakened by intermittent voices.
It was probably Cheng Xi who was on the phone. The soundproofing of the hotel was average. Even if the other party's voice was very low, most of the content could be heard clearly.
"...Well, I wasn't in my room. I went to sleep in Brother Tao's room last night."
"The fever is gone, but I can't feel energetic and my nose is a little blocked. It's okay, don't worry, it's just a common cold."
"I didn't sleep on the same bed as him. I slept on my side. Don't tell me that!"
"Why don't you sleep in the same bed... I have a cold. If you sleep with him, you will infect him!"
At this point, Tao Shiyan finally understood why the boy was not afraid of catching cold and insisted on coming to his room.
It turned out that I didn't want to pass the cold to him.
Tao Shiyan stood up, quietly closed the door, and went to look for Lin Xuefeng next to him.
Five minutes later, after finishing Zhao Xiaotao's continuous questioning, Cheng Xi breathed out, closed his eyes again, hugged the jacket, and planned to sacrifice breakfast and stay in bed for a while.
The small house filled with the smell of Tao Shiyan was particularly warm and peaceful. He yawned loudly. While he was in a daze, he felt his door being pushed open.
Someone first tested the temperature of his forehead with the back of his hand, and then said softly: "Director Lin, I asked for leave for you. Have a good rest today. Breakfast will be delivered by Zhang Jing in a while. I will come back to eat with you at noon. Remember to take your medicine. I will
Check the post.”
Cheng Xi's eyelashes trembled and he continued to pretend to be asleep.
Even though he had already asked for leave, in order not to delay the filming progress, Cheng Xi still went to the set after recovering his strength in the afternoon.
The director of Group B, Brother Li, took good care of him and chose a few relatively relaxed group scenes. Cheng Xi adjusted his condition and when it was time to call it a day, he made up for some of the scenes he had missed in the morning.
Because he is good-looking and not a monster, and he is humble and polite, the whole crew likes him very much. In the past few days since he was ill, Cheng Xishi has truly become the "group pet", and he has given fruits and snacks to seniors and staff.
There was a full table in the lounge, and the first thing I heard every day when I entered the set was: "Xiao Cheng, are you feeling better today?"
"Much better, much better."
From outside the set to the dressing room, Cheng Xi had to answer the same questions at least thirty times.
Including Ye Ruoqi, she looks carefree and generous on the surface, but in fact she is very attentive and cooks good dishes and often gives him extra meals at noon.
Under everyone's care, Cheng Xi finally recovered after a week. Lin Xuefeng was happy and waved his hand: "To celebrate Xiao Cheng's recovery, I'm treating you tonight. Let's go to the city and have a good meal!"
"Ouch, long live Xiao Cheng, long live Director Lin!!"
Lately, I've been leaving early and coming back late. The filming has been so tight, and everyone's nerves have been tense. In fact, Lin Xuefeng has long wanted to take the crew out to relax, or he just has a cold, so there's nothing to celebrate.
Cheng Xi could see what Lin Xuefeng meant, so he didn't refuse. After the show, a large group of people divided into several cars, like migrant workers entering the city and rushing into a hot pot restaurant.
After a full meal, the playful Ye Ruoqi and Tang Yuqing felt dissatisfied, so Lin Xuefeng asked the staff to go back and go to the ktv again with a few protagonists and supporting actors.
After all, there were movie kings and movie queens present. For safety reasons, Lin Xuefeng directly booked a whole floor of private rooms.
After asking the waiter to order drinks and snacks, Ye Ruoqi coaxed: "Come on, Director Lin, warm up the show for us!"
Lin Xuefeng didn't hesitate, he ordered a certain popular song and opened his mouth——
Tang Yu said: "Stop listening, let's play dice and have a drink."
Ye Ruoqi covered her ears: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made a fuss just now. I'll ask the waiter to get the dice cup. Xiao Cheng is recovering from his illness, so don't drink."
Cheng Xi didn't want to drink either, because in his few memories of drunkenness, there were shadows of being bullied by Tao Shiyan, which made him think of drinking as a shadow and not a single good memory.
Tao Shiyan has been in the industry for seven years, so it is inevitable to attend such occasions. Regarding drinking and playing games, he has always maintained an attitude that he can participate but will never take it seriously. But today they are all old friends, and his expression is at least normal, not serious.
As for the way I used to sit down at the wine table with a cold face, scaring the children at the table so much that they didn't dare to speak loudly.
"By the way," Tang Yuqing asked while waiting for the dice, "Xiao Cheng, I wanted to see you last night, but I knocked on the door for a long time and no one answered. Were you not in the room?"
He was in the room, but it was Tao Shiyan's room.
"...Well," Cheng Xi said perfunctorily, "I went out to buy something."
"Speaking of which, I remembered," Ye Ruoqi answered, "I wanted to deliver soup to Xiao Cheng the day before and the day before yesterday, but I couldn't find Xiao Cheng."
Cheng Xi: "..."
Cheng Xi said with difficulty: "After I caught a cold, in order to get better quickly, I went outside to exercise every night."
Tang Yuqing & Ye Ruoqi: "Oh, that's it."
After finally fooling them, Cheng Xi wiped the sweat from his head. He has not fully recovered yet, and his body and bones are still a little weak.
At this time, [a message was sent]
Cheng Xi was speechless for a moment. There was only one room in the KTV private room, and Tao Shiyan was sitting opposite him. If he had something to say, he could just say it with his mouth. How could he send it to WeChat?
It's like... an affair.
He glanced at Tao Shiyan, who was sitting lazily as if he hadn't done anything, and clicked on the message.
Yan: [Boss, settle the money for shopping and fitness]
Cheng Xi: "..."
mmp, how could he like this kind of dog????
After a while, the waiter brought the dice. Cheng Xi could not drink and did not participate. The remaining three people started playing.
They played a game of guessing the points. Each person had five dice, and the three of them had fifteen in total. Starting from the first person, they called the points in sequence. For example, the first person said "five two points", and the next person only called out the points.
It can be called "five three-points" or "six two-points" for those who are older than him, and so on for the third person.
You can also choose to open the cup directly. If the points in the three dice cups are greater than or equal to the called number, you win, and the person who opened the cup drinks; if it is less than the called number, the person who reported the number drinks.
The rules of the game are very simple, and it mainly depends on each person's risk preference. Cheng Xi didn't like this, and was not interested in watching the excitement, so he scrolled through his mobile phone out of boredom.
After a few rounds, he caught a glimpse of the boy's bored look from the corner of his eye. Tao Shiyan patted the sofa and said, "Cheng Xi, come here."
"...Huh?" Cheng Xi leaned over, "What's wrong?"
Tao Shiyan: "Just tell me the number."
Cheng Xi had played this kind of game when he was in school, but it had been too long and he had forgotten it, so he casually said: "Ten-five."
Tao Shiyan: "Okay, ten to five."
"Open, open, are you here to die?" Upon hearing this number, Tang Yuqing immediately lifted the lid of the cup excitedly, "I don't have five o'clock, hahahaha!"
Tao Shiyan only had two five-points. Even if Ye Ruoqi's five dice were all five-points, they would never be able to get it together.
Tao Shiyan raised his glass, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. Only then did Cheng Xi realize that the number he was talking about would cause Tao Shiyan to drink a glass of wine in vain.
However, this man didn't seem to learn lessons, and he was asked to report the next few sentences. This time, Cheng Xi thought carefully before speaking. Unfortunately, because he had little knowledge of the rules and lack of experience, he was tricked by Tang Yuqing several times. Tao
The delay can only be dealt with one cup after another.
Tang Yuqing smacked his lips: "Xiao Cheng, you are actually the spy I sent, right?"
Cheng Xi felt a little guilty and lowered his head without speaking.
Tao Shiyan squeezed his shoulder as if to comfort him and sneered: "He saw that I was thirsty and asked me to drink more wine to moisten my throat. You are the only one who talks a lot."
Tang Yuqing: "..."
The scolding was correct, he really shouldn't have opened his mouth to ask for abuse.
However, Tang Yuqing's provocation gave Cheng Xi a strong desire to win. With just a few small dice, he didn't believe he couldn't find a way out!
So for the rest of the time, he reported the numbers while observing the patterns and the enemy's expressions, and never fell into Tang Yuqing's trap again. From losing the handle to losing half, in the end, he finally mastered the gameplay and guessed accurately.
It was so incomparable that it made Tang Yuqing and Ye Ruoqi scream in agony!
After winning ten games in a row, Cheng Xi raised his lips excitedly, subconsciously turned to Tao Shiyan and stretched out his hand.
"Well done." Tao Shiyan also stretched out his hand and gave him a solid high-five!
"No, no, I have to take it slow, I'm going to vomit if I drink any more," Ye Ruoqi gave in at first, "Let's chat for a while."
Tang Yuqing burped: "No, I won't bring a helper next time. It's too much for two people to gang up on food."
Cheng Xi originally lacked interest, but now his emotions have been aroused and he has fully integrated into today's social life. "You two, we are also two people, it's fair!"
Hiss... Tang Yuqing and Ye Ruoqi felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong, so they gave up after thinking for a few seconds.
Ye Ruoqi pulled over the fruit plate, distributed a circle of fruits to everyone, and said with emotion: "Time flies so fast. Come to think of it, Brother Yan and I have known each other for five years. Do you still remember how you were when you first debuted?"
"That was too long ago," Tang Yuqing smiled and shook his head. "I remember that I wanted to study chemistry at the beginning, but my dad was in theater and insisted on letting me study acting. I had no choice but to pass the theater exam and kept getting admitted by mistake.
I bumped into now by mistake. What about you, time delay? Why did you enter the entertainment industry?"
Cheng Xi immediately pricked up his ears. He was also curious about why Tao Shiyan wanted to become an actor because of his family background.
Tao Shiyan did not say the specific reason, only said: "To find someone."
Cheng Xi is not that sensitive, but the second he heard the answer, he thought of the owner of the box.
For him to give up the Tao family business and enter the entertainment industry to film, one can imagine the sacrifice involved. Cheng Xi's heart seemed to be grasped by a big hand, it was swollen and painful, and it was difficult to breathe.
The excitement dissipated in an instant, and he retreated to the corner where he had been just now and continued to scroll through his phone.
After singing more than a dozen songs in a row, Mai Ba Lin Xuefeng was tired and reluctantly gave up Mai's place. As the only serious singer among the group, Cheng Xi couldn't escape, so he went up and sang two old songs, both of which were
It's a simple song with a bit of sadness.
Tao Shiyan frowned slightly.
Cheng Xi stayed by himself for the rest of the time, with his eyebrows lowered and his expression unclear. After a few spins of the carousel, Tao Shiyan suddenly said: "You guys play first, I'll go to the bathroom."
At the same time, Cheng Xi received a WeChat message.
Yan:【Follow me】
...Why do you call him Tao?
Isn't it because I feel like vomiting after drinking too much wine? Can I ask him to wait on me?
Cheng Xi went out suspiciously, but before he could go to the bathroom, he was dragged into the escape tunnel next to him!
"You, don't you want to vomit?" Cheng Xi was startled, "Why don't you go to the toilet?"
"Who said I want to vomit...Shh, keep your voice down, you can hear me next to you."
Cheng Xi shook his sleeves, shook off the hand holding his arm, and lowered his voice: "Then why did you ask me to come out?"
"I feel like you don't like it here," Tao Shiyan said, "I'll take you back first."
Only then did Cheng Xi realize that the other party had the car keys in his hand, and he had obviously already prepared them. An indescribable feeling suddenly surged in his heart, a mix of sourness and sweetness, but more of it was anger.
Annoyed at why the other party always noticed something was wrong with him at the first time; annoyed at why the other party always thought about him; annoyed at why the other party could abandon other friends and send him home; annoyed at why the other party wanted to... be nice to him.
They are just friends, there is no need to go to this extent.
There are already people named Tao who they like enough to risk everything, right?
The more he thought about Cheng Xi, the angrier he became. He had no intention of paying attention to the man named Tao and turned around to leave.
Seeing his angry look, Tao Shiyan was confused and reached out to stop him, "You don't want to go back to the hotel?"
"I don't want to, I don't want to at all, take your paw away! I will stay at the KTV tonight!"
Hearing these angry words, Tao Shiyan felt a headache and did not let go, preparing to continue asking the boy why he was angry.
At this time, the door of the private room was opened again, and there was a sound of footsteps coming this way. He probably heard Cheng Xi's voice and was worried, and wanted to come over and take a look.
It was too strange for two men to hide in the escape tunnel and whisper. He didn't care, but Cheng Xi might not care. Tao Shiyan reacted very quickly. He first hid behind the escape tunnel door, then grabbed Cheng Xi's arm and pulled him in his direction.
pull.
I drank too much just now and my head was a little dizzy. I didn't control the strength of this pull well. The next moment, my limp body staggered and fell into his arms!!
The two bodies were pressed tightly against each other. Cheng Xi was stiff for a moment. Without thinking too much, he struggled with all his strength and said, "Let go!"
Afraid that he would make too much noise, Tao Shiyan covered his mouth with his left hand and held his lower back with his right hand to prevent him from escaping. Then the last gap between the two disappeared.
At this moment, footsteps stopped outside the safe passage: "Xiao Cheng, Xiao Cheng? Is it you? Are you okay?"
After shouting a few words, he looked into the fire escape and found no trace of Cheng Xi. Lin Xuefeng thought he had heard wrong and shook his head back to the private room.
Until the footsteps completely disappeared, Tao Shiyan finally let go of the person in his arms. Cheng Xi's legs were a little weak, his face was red, and he disappeared in a flash.
Tao Shiyan did not pursue him.
He looked down at his changes, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then stretched out his hand and pulled his shirt down hard.
