Chapter 87
Chapter 86 Sneak shots
That night, Xue Jue didn’t do anything, so he sat in front of the computer and read Qiao Yiyang’s Weibo over and over again.
Don’t look at Xiao Zhao on the surface, but in fact, his mind is very delicate. After Xue Jue asked him about Joe Yiyang, he immediately organized all the information of Joe Yiyang into a document and sent it to him after he was busy with work. Go to Xue Jue’s mailbox.
So Xue Jue checked his Weibo and went to check his emails. When he finally read everything, the wall clock on the wall had moved towards eleven o’clock at night.
At this time, the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows had turned into a dark blue, and there was no starlight in sight. A light crescent moon hung in the sky.
Xue Jue sat silently in front of the computer, as if his eyes were swollen. He sighed and slowly leaned back on the seat, with his right hand resting on his forehead, gently rubbing his eyebrows.
There was no light in the room. He was in the dim darkness. Only the computer screen in front of him emitted a faint blue fluorescence. Xue Jue did not rush to turn on the light, but fumbled for the smoke and lighter in the drawer.
Point it slowly.
Take a deep breath.
Then he breathed out smoke.
Xue Jue doesn’t have a hobby of smoking, but he always puts cigarettes and lighters in his study and office for spare use. He has a lot of troubles, and sometimes smoking can really relieve anxiety.
I just want to ravage all my worries into the smoke, and then watch them disappear.
It’s a pity that Xue Jue still didn’t feel any better until a cigarette burned to the end, and even the close photos of Joe Yiyang and Zu Qi were all in his mind.
He suddenly remembered what Director Wang had said, and suddenly he didn’t understand whether he was right or wrong about what he had done secretly. Even though he and Zu Qi had already expressed their intentions to each other, he still had a vague sense of anxiety in his heart.
I don’t know if he thinks too much. He always feels that his future life doesn’t seem to be developing in this direction, and he has already deviated from the direction without knowing it.
Xue Jue sighed, put out the burnt cigarette butts in the ashtray, and in a blink of an eye saw the phone lying quietly on the table, he suddenly remembered that they seemed to have been out of touch for a while.
Before, I would video every night…
Originally, Xue Jue didn’t want to disturb Zu Qi’s work, but he was afraid that he would leave a clingy bad impression on the other party before he was sure of the relationship.
He hesitated a little, put his fingertips on the phone and tapped a little, and then he caught a glimpse of the photo of the two on the computer screen in the aftermath-Joey Yang embraced Zuqi’s shoulder affectionately with his right hand, his head next to his head, all facing the camera Showed a bright smile.
“…”
Xue Jue’s hand clenched into a fist instantly, the corners of his mouth collapsed into a straight line with no arc, and a layer of cold color appeared in his eyes.
I have to admit that those group photos are really an eyesore, and he even had an inexplicable urge to fly to Joe Yiyang immediately and order him to delete the photos.
Thinking of this, Xue Jue no longer hesitated, picked up the phone, got up and went to turn on the light in the study while dialing the WeChat video neatly.
Soon, the beep sounded.
Xue Jue’s heartbeat speeded up and he involuntarily squeezed the phone. He sat back on the chair, looked down at his face on the screen, and almost subconsciously raised the phone to a forty-five degree angle.
He still remembers what Zuqi had made fun of before because of the angle.
After waiting for a long time, the video was finally connected.
Xue Jue’s face was immediately reduced to the small frame in the upper right corner, and Zu Qi’s side face was replaced on the screen. Zu Qi frowned and seemed to be thinking about something. He glanced at the lens of his glasses and twitched. The corner of his mouth smiled and said: “Good evening, have you had dinner?”
“I’ve eaten it.” Xue Jue lied, “How about you?”
Zu Qi said: “I have eaten it a long time ago.”
Xue Jue asked: “Are you in the hotel?”
“Let’s finish work early today, so I’ll come back to deal with something.” Zu Qi was still cracking on the keyboard while he was speaking. He picked up the phone and leaned against the computer, just to take a picture of his upper body.
“Oh…” Xue Jue followed Zu Qi’s words and continued to ask, “What are you dealing with?”
“Help my friend get a new website.”
Obviously, Zu Qi did not intend to elaborate, and Xue Jue was embarrassed to ask cheekyly. He silently looked at Zu Qi’s concentrated expression on the screen, and suddenly couldn’t restrain himself from thinking about it.
Which friend is Zuqi talking about?
Little Dengzi?
Duan Kai?
Heng Jingchen?
No, the three of them do not need to create a specific website for their professions.
That’s the new Joey Yang…
Xue Jue remembered that in the document email sent by Xiao Zhao, it was mentioned that Qiao Yiyang had also developed sideline business in many aspects besides acting. He not only opened a number of restaurants, but also involved online sales.
Thinking that Zu Qi might be helping Qiao Yiyang, Xue Jue couldn’t calm down for a while. Although he knew that Zu Qi and Qiao Yiyang were just ordinary friends, he couldn’t control his thoughts.
Perhaps this relationship came too easy, and he was in trouble for gains and losses.
He didn’t like Joey Yang, and he didn’t like Joey Yang occupying so much time for Zuqi, not to mention that time should belong to him.
Xue Jue thought a lot in a mess. Zu Qi, who was opposite, seemed unaware, and was still working on the computer, his state continued until the knock on the door.
“Wait, I’ll open the door.” Zu Qi quickly said to the camera, then got up and ran away stepping on the slippers.
Xue Jue leaned back on the chair and gently pressed the slightly painful temple twice. He had never been so anxious before. He thought he should be alone and manage his emotions by the way.
If this continues, I am afraid that he will really rush to the crew, take Zu Qi back in a big way, and put it at home so that no outsiders will see it again.
At this moment, Zu Qi returned to the camera.
“I’m back?” Xue Jue said, “Otherwise you are busy, we will video another day…”
Before he could finish a sentence, Xue Jue suddenly heard the voice of another person from Zuqi, and that person’s voice was very familiar.
In just an instant, Xue Jue guessed who the owner of that voice was.
Joey Yang…
The careless Zu Qi didn’t even notice Xue Jue’s face gradually sinking, his face bloomed like a flower with a brilliant smile, completely ignoring the distress and irritability of the website just now, he picked up the phone and leaned in front of his face.
“My friend is here.” Zu Qi smiled. After consulting Joe Yiyang’s consent, he adjusted the video to the rear camera, pointed it at Joe Yiyang, and introduced to Xue Jue with a smile, “This is Teacher Qiao. The big man in our crew, he taught me a lot of things, very powerful!”
Speaking of these, Zu Qi’s adoration of Joe Yiyang is completely beyond words, and when he looks at Joe Yiyang, he can’t help but raise the starry eyes of his fascinating brother.
“Ms. Qiao’s acting skills are superb!” Zu Qi couldn’t help adding, “it’s no wonder it’s a 700 million actor. Compared with Mr. Qiao, there is still a big gap between me and Mr. Qiao.”
Joe Yiyang was so embarrassed by Zuqi’s repeated words that he couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. He smiled and waved his hand and said, “I’m overwhelmed.”
After speaking, Qiao Yiyang said to the camera again, “Mr. Xue, I have been admiring your name for a long time. I used to see your name in magazines. I didn’t expect that the first time we met was on the WeChat video.”
Zu Qi turned on the hands-free, and it took a long time for Xue Jue’s tough voice to come from the phone: “Hello.”
Then it was gone.
The atmosphere immediately spread in an embarrassing direction.
This time Rao Zuqi was so slow that he noticed that Xue Jue was wrong. He quickly adjusted the camera back. Before he had time to speak, he heard Xue Jue speak calmly: “Let’s talk, I won’t bother.”
“…”
Zu Qi secretly said that it was bad. His instinct told him that Xue Jue, the petty man, was stunned again, but in front of Joe Yiyang, he couldn’t ask anything, so he had to grinned his teeth and said, “Okay, then. you go for rest……”
Before the voice was over, Xue Jue hung up the video altogether.
Zu Qi: “…”
Joe Yiyang stood close, seeing all the interaction between Zuqi and Xue Jue in his eyes, hesitated for a while, and then cautiously asked: “Is it all right?”
“It’s okay.” Zu Qi smiled and shook his head, then put away the phone.
When they were still filming during the day, they made an appointment to go to the newly opened food stall near the hotel to make skewers together at night, so Zu Qi sorted out his emotions, turned off the computer, put on a thick coat, and went out with Joey Yang.
Only the two of them came out this time. Since there was not a lot of people flow at night, they were not fully armed from head to toe as usual.
However, as a popular and powerful star, Joey Yang still wore essential items such as a hat and mask, but Zu Qi was not afraid, exposing his entire face to the cold night wind.
After walking for more than ten minutes, when he arrived at the store, Zu Qi felt his face stiffened by the cool breeze.
He sat next to the oven and rubbed his face that seemed to be frozen into ice. In a blink of an eye, he saw Joey Yang taking off his hat and mask casually, and he understood in an instant.
“Okay!” Zu Qi widened his eyes and stared at Joe Yiyang, and said in grief, “It turns out that you wear a hat and mask to keep out the cold. You didn’t remind me, I thought you were blocking your face!”
Joe Yiyang sat down next to Zuqi and smiled gleefully: “We are all people who eat with our faces. Of course, in such a cold day, we have to protect our eating tools at the first time. You have no common sense.”
Zu Qi raised her eyebrows and joked: “Don’t worry about being secretly photographed by paparazzi and fans now?”
“Hey, don’t look at what time it is now.” Qiao Yiyang was so free and easy, he waved his hand indifferently and said, “Besides, we just came out to make a string, and it’s okay to be photographed. .”
“Yes.” Zu Qi laughed.
At this time, there were not many customers in the food stall, and there were only four tables in Zuqi and Joe Yiyang, and the other three tables were seated inside. Only the two of them chose a position by the window for cleanliness.
Of course, the transparent windows were closed tightly, otherwise Zu Qi’s face would really be stiffened by the cold wind.
The boss came over with the menu, watched them order a bunch of dishes and two bottles of beer, said a little while waiting, and walked away happily.
Zu Qi watched Qiao Yiyang take out two pairs of disposable chopsticks from the chopstick holder very actively, and swiftly peeled the plastic bag with both hands and handed it to him.
“Your anorexia is all right?” Zu Qi took the chopsticks and placed it on the dry plate.
“I don’t know, I have to take time to go to the hospital for a check-up.” Qiao Yiyang is no longer as taboo as before when others mention the word “anorexia” in front of him. Instead, he calmly said, “I personally feel that it should be good. It’s almost done, you see, I even dare to come and eat the food stalls.”
Zu Qi sighed: “If Brother Zhou knew that I brought you to the food stall, I would be blamed if you can’t cut it.”
“No, no.” Joe Yiyang smiled, “It’s too late for Zhou Hai to love you. You are the favorite of our crew. Who dares to cut you? That would offend our entire crew!”
Having said that, Zu Qi suddenly remembered something, scratched his head, and asked strangely: “By the way, I always feel that the atmosphere in the crew seems a bit weird recently.”
Joe Yiyang asked: “Where is it?”
“I can’t tell you for a while.” Zu Qi shrank her neck and frowned. “If you want to describe it, then everyone treats me too well, but I don’t do anything worthy of everyone treating me like this.”
In fact, Zu Qi wanted to say that everyone was extremely courteous to him, but considering that the word “diligence” was not very suitable here, he changed the term abruptly.
Qiao Yiyang glanced at Zu Qi’s puzzled face, and couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. At the same time, he felt very sorry for Zu Qi’s experience.
If Qiao Yiyang was half-believing the rumors in the crew before, then after seeing Xue Jue’s attitude towards Zu Qi tonight, Qiao Yiyang completely believed those words.
——Xue Jue doesn’t like Zu Qi.
Xue Jue’s dislike is not only a dislike in his heart, but also manifested in the various details when he faced Zu Qi.
At least in Qiao Yiyang’s opinion, if Xue Jue has such a good impression of Zu Qi, he will not hang up the video so unrelentingly.
The more Qiao Yiyang thought about it, the more distressed he felt. Even the gaze towards Zu Qi unconsciously brought the brilliance of his father, and he also saw the goose bumps on Zu Qi’s whole body fall to the ground.
Zu Qi rubbed his arms: “What are you doing looking at me like this…”
“It’s okay.” Joey Yang said that the temperature was mild, and he paused, and he continued, “If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me, even if you have emotional problems, I will try to help you.”
“…” Zu Qi laughed, “How can I help me emotionally? Be my lover?”
Qiao Yiyang knew that Zu Qi was joking, and he responded with a smiley face: “Yes, as long as you don’t mind, I am fine.”
Zu Qi smiled and said: “Anyway, I have remembered these words from you, and I will be the first to look for you if I get divorced.”
Joey Yang: “Welcome.”
When the two of them were haha, the boss brought up the grilled skewers. The spicy aroma immediately filled the whole air around them. Zu Qi couldn’t wait to pick up the chopsticks and grab a piece of cut rice cake and put it in his mouth. , Suddenly the eyes lit up.
“good to eat!”
“Really? I’ll try it.” Joey Yang picked up a piece of pork belly, frowned and chewed for a while, then slowly loosened his brows under Zu Qi’s nervous gaze, and smiled, “It’s really good.”
The two chatting about the sky did not notice that there were three people squatting under the window next to them, and each of them was holding a camera in their hands.
“Did you get it?” someone asked quietly.
“I got it! I recorded it with the audio.” The man was shivering by the cold wind, but he was extremely excited, “This time the headline didn’t run away!”
