221 “AV Shooting Guide” Chapter 220

204: premonition

The next day, Xie Zhi obediently asked for sick leave. Although Producer Yu frantically called everywhere to find substitute guests, Qiao Qiao was really relieved.

The difference between Xie Zhi and Liang Jize was so great that even she, an outsider who was not very familiar with Liang Jize, could see it at a glance, not to mention the fans who had been chasing him since more than ten years ago. Once Xie Zhi was exposed to the light, his secret would be revealed in a matter of seconds.

But pretending to be sick all the time is not the answer, we still have to get the real owner back as soon as possible.

With something on his mind, Qiao Qiao managed to stay up until the end of the recording and quickly bought some food and returned to the hotel.

As expected, Xie Zhi was fiddling with the remote control in the room boredly. When he saw Qiao Qiao coming back, a smile appeared on his face: “Is the recording over?”

“Well, have you eaten?”

“No.” Xie Zhi sat obediently at the dining table and watched Qiao Qiao arrange the food. “If you didn’t let me out, I didn’t eat.”

“…I mean to tell you not to go out to meet people.” Qiao Qiao couldn’t help but want to hold his forehead, “Also, you can order takeout even if you don’t go out.”

“Liang Jize never orders takeout, and I can’t either.”

It seems that I have to take some time to teach him some common sense in life.

“Let’s eat some stuff first. I specially picked some of your favorite dishes.” Qiao Qiao gave him a pair of chopsticks, “Oh, can you use chopsticks?”

“Yeah.” Xie Zhi took it, but refused to take down his chopsticks.

“What’s wrong?”

“These…” Xie Zhi said slowly, “None of them suit my taste.”

“…”

What’s worse, I didn’t know what Xie Zhi liked at all, so I just subconsciously picked what Liang Jize liked to eat.

Qiao Qiao suddenly felt a little guilty: “Then I’ll buy you a new one.”

“No.” Xie Zhi grabbed her, “You can go out to eat with me later, it’s so boring here.”

“It’s…not good to go out, isn’t it?”

“Aren’t you going to have lunch with the new guest today? Why can’t you have lunch with me?”

Qiao Qiao was surprised: “How do you know?”

Xie Zhi pointed to the TV with his chin: “This place is connected to the signal from the recording site.”

“…”

Damn it, the program team is so biased. They have this kind of black technology but only installed it in Liang Liang’s room.

“Okay.” Qiao Qiao could only compromise, “But where to go out to eat and what to eat are all up to me. If someone recognizes you -”

“I won’t admit it to my death, I just say they look alike.”

“Very good.”

Before leaving the house, Xie Zhi suddenly hugged her from behind, resting his head gently on her shoulder, rubbing her face like a large dog, but the duration was short, only a few seconds, and he let go before Qiao Qiao could struggle.

“What are you doing?” Qiao Qiao covered his neck with goosebumps and glared at Xie Zhi with slight annoyance.

“That person hugs you too.”

Qiao Qiao was confused: “What did you say?”

“The guy you partnered with.”

Qiao Qiao thought for a while and finally realized that what Xie Zhi was talking about should be the new guest who was partnering with Qiao Qiao today, but he just put his hand on her shoulder casually and didn’t hug her so much at all, okay?!

“Gone.”

Xie Zhi put on his hat and smiled at Qiao Qiao.

It was obviously Liang Jize’s body and Liang Jize’s face, but the smile was completely different.Liang Jize’s evil and sycophantic spirit is completely gone, replaced by a gentleness that doesn’t make anyone feel the slightest bit of aggression.

But for some reason, this smile made Qiao Qiao feel inexplicably dangerous.

Best, just think too much.

Qiao Qiao was afraid that someone would recognize Xie Zhi, so he chose a Malatang restaurant on the roadside in a low-key manner. Fortunately, Xie Zhi didn’t have many opportunities to take the initiative in his body, so everything he saw was fresh, and he didn’t mind the tabletop with a layer of grease hanging on it. He looked forward to Qiao Qiao making him skewers, which was very honorable.

There was a couple sitting opposite. The girl looked over frequently and hesitated several times. Xie Zhi raised a smile and said preemptively: “Do I look very similar to Actor Liang?”

“Yes, yes!” The girl nodded hurriedly, “It really looks like it! If it weren’t for the different temperament, I would have thought it was him! Isn’t he recording a show here recently?”

“Do I have a bad temperament?”

“Ah, that’s not what I meant, but you are two different types. No matter how similar your face is, I will never mistake you. I am a huge fan of Actor Liang.”

Qiao Qiao poked Xie Zhi and lowered his voice: “Let me just say, you will definitely be suspected if you go on the show.”

“But it’s so boring to be in the hotel every day.”

“Then…” Qiao Qiao hesitated, “Should I stay with you more?”

Xie Zhi smiled: “Okay, there are still many things I don’t understand, please teach me.”

Why do you feel like you’re being tricked?

In the next few days, Xie Zhi would knock on Qiao Qiao’s door whenever he had something he didn’t understand, becoming more and more skillful every time. Later, he simply took advantage of his face and asked the front desk for Zhang Qiao Qiao’s room card.

“Isn’t that bad of you!” Qiao Qiao protested, “What if I was taking a shower and changing clothes or something, it would be so embarrassing for you to open the door and come in.”

“I’ll knock before you come in.”

“I can’t hear you in the bathroom.”

“Then I can’t see you either, what’s the point of being embarrassed about?”

…What he said makes sense.

“Qiao Qiao…” Xie Zhi hesitated, “Can I discuss something with you?”

“What?”

“Can we stop recording this show?”

“Why? Isn’t Producer Yu working very hard? Our ratings for the last episode were also very high.”

“But it’s very uncomfortable to see you falling in love with others every day.”

“Hahaha.” Qiao Qiao smiled knowingly, patted Xie Zhi’s shoulder generously, and said as if a senior was instructing a junior: “You mean the quagmire project at noon, right? Those were all scripted, and they were arranged to create ambiguity and laughter. After all, this is a love variety show.”

“I know.” Xie Zhi looked at Qiao Qiao with bright eyes, “But seeing you cuddling with other men makes me really angry.”

He added aggrievedly, as if he had opened a conversation box: “Why did Liang Jize allow you to participate in such a thing? I wish I could lock you up so no one can see you.”

Qiao Qiao joked, trying to change the topic.

Xie Zhi never concealed his desire and admiration for her, it was all written nakedly in his eyes, even though he never said it directly. To be more precise, every time he wanted to say something, he was interrupted by Qiao Qiao making excuses.

“I’m not kidding.” Xie Zhi said seriously, “I don’t want others to see you.”

“This is impossible.” Qiao Qiao couldn’t help but said, “At least you must share me with Liang Jize.”

In the past few days when the two of them got along, the word ‘Liang Jize’ had become a tacit taboo. Xie Zhi didn’t mention it, and Qiao Qiao didn’t mention it either. They were all trying to avoid it.

“So, what do you think of me comparing with him?”

Qiao Qiao was speechless: “This… how can it be compared?”

“Is it difficult?” Xie Zhi frowned, his tone confused, “He has done so many things that hurt you, and you can forgive him?”

“What does this have to do with forgiveness or not? You, after all, you don’t count-” Qiao Qiao quickly stopped, but Xie Zhi understood her meaning instantly.

His smile slowly froze: “You want to say that I am not a person?”

Qiao Qiao wanted to slap himself: “That’s not what I meant.”

She thought Xie Zhi would be angry, but after only a few seconds, he returned to normal, as if that moment of indifference was simply Qiao Qiao’s illusion.

“It doesn’t matter, you will slowly accept me.”

Qiao Qiao thought to himself, “You don’t have time? I’ve already checked on the Internet. DID patients will not maintain their sub-personality state forever, and Liang Jize will change out of it sooner or later.”

She has always believed so, but she waited and waited and waited. This variety show is about to end. The temporary substitute guests have almost become permanent guests, and Xie Zhi has always been the one controlling the body.

Xie Zhi was ill and stayed for most of the show, which made Producer Yu very embarrassed. He tried to persuade him to go back to recuperate several times, but Xie Zhi refused.Xie Zhi stayed shut during the day and pestered Qiao Qiao at night. Although he was harmless and would not make strange demands, Qiao Qiao’s situation seemed to have risen from hell to heaven compared with Liang Jize’s time. However, Liang Jize, as the main character, never came out, which gave Qiao Qiao a very bad feeling.

The show was about to wrap up the next day. When they had dinner together as usual in the evening, Qiao Qiao finally asked carefully: “Is Liang Jize… okay?”

Xie Zhi’s hand holding the chopsticks paused, and he raised his eyes and smiled: “He is sleeping, just like me before.”

“Oh…”

“You want to see him?” Xie Zhizhuangruo asked casually.

“Ahem, isn’t the recording almost over? People will see it when you return to the company, right?”

“It’s okay, I can pause the activity.”

“Haha, really?” Qiao Qiao laughed dryly, “Why didn’t I think of that?”

“If you want to see him, it’s not impossible.” Xie Zhi said slowly.

“Ah?” Qiao Qiao took a deep breath to stop himself from appearing too eager, “It doesn’t matter whether you see her or not, I don’t care.”

“I’ll try to scream.”

After Xie Zhi finished speaking, he stopped moving as expected, and the focus of his eyes instantly widened, as if he was wandering far away.

In just a few seconds, he came back to his senses and smiled apologetically at Qiao Qiao: “He may be too tired to wake up.”

Qiao Qiao secretly cursed, why do I think you didn’t scream at all?

But no matter how urgent she was, she couldn’t help, so she could only accept the explanation Xie Zhi gave her.

“I will send an email to Donghyuck tonight and ask for a long vacation.”

“Okay.”

“I

“I want to travel, can you accompany me?”

“Probably not. I just took a long vacation, so I can’t take it again.”

“Then resign, I have a lot of savings anyway.”

“…That’s not your deposit.”

It’s easy to have dinner with Xie Zhi. He has high emotional intelligence, can talk, and always pays attention to Qiao Qiao’s emotions. It’s hard not to be attracted to him.

But the uneasiness in my heart was gradually widening like a crack that was constantly being torn open.

She looked at Xie Zhi quietly picking up vegetables, and a ridiculous thought suddenly appeared in her mind. Could it be that Liang Jize would never come out again?
