    Chapter 42 Reciprocity

    In his twenty-five years of life, Xia Xiqing has lived a curious life. He tore his heart out of his body, keeping only his still shiny skin, and squandered his life in this kaleidoscope-like complex and gorgeous world.Try every means to get something similar to love from others, and desperately use it to fill your own empty body.He sucked it in like a wolf, but he couldn’t fill the bloody hole no matter what.

    Those negative and negative emotions are used by him to nourish his own artistic cells. How can an artist who does not drain himself have works that move others?

    Xia Xiqing, who was obsessed with others, was safe and thought she was safe.Everybody loves me, they all love me.How could I be miserable like this?

    But now, a strange person seems to have appeared.He crossed over the body and went straight to the weak heart that was abandoned by him and hidden in the small dark room, directly approaching the most dangerous area.

    Alarm bells are ringing.

    Xia Xiqing’s self-protective nature made him afraid.

    “There won’t be a next time, I promise.” Xia Xiqing took the initiative to withdraw from the hug and skillfully showed a cynical smile to Zhou Ziheng.

    It’s all just a stress reaction.

    Zhou Ziheng was a little stunned. He originally thought that the hug could last longer.

    Xia Xiqing patted he on the shoulder, stretched out his hand and said at the end of the passage, “Come up.” After saying that, he walked around Zhou Ziheng and walked forward step by step.

    “…Hmm.”

    I was too obvious just now, too obviously worried, too obviously angry.Forget it, these are nothing.

    The most important thing is that my heartbeat is too obvious.

    The basement is really airtight and stuffy, making people feel heartbroken.

    Zhou Ziheng followed he, following suit, and left the underground passage in silence.

    As usual, it was the guest who shot the behind-the-scenes video with a hand-held camera. Zhou Ziheng proactively asked for a machine and walked next to Ruan Xiao, “Let’s work together.”

    “Us?” Ruan Xiao raised his head and looked at Zhou Ziheng, who took the initiative to invite, with some surprise. His eyes were subconsciously looking for another person in the recording room, “…are you sure?”

    “Yeah.”

    “Why are you looking for me, Xia…”

    Zhou Ziheng quickly stopped talking, “I traveled through every time and space to save you, and in the end we were still together in time and space No. 3.”

    Ruan Xiao looked at Zhou Ziheng with an expression like “What are you talking about?” “Uh… is this a reason? ”

    Zhou Ziheng thought about it seriously and raised another issue of saving the country through curves, “Then I’ll go find Shang Sirui…”

    “Wait a minute…” Ruan Xiao grabbed Zhou Ziheng and sighed, “I’ll team up with you.” Before Zhou Ziheng started filming, Ruan Xiao bumped his arm, “Hey, what’s wrong with you? Why don’t you go with Xia Xiqing.”

    “Nothing.”

    “Did you quarrel? It couldn’t be because of what caused you to lose today, right?” Ruan Xiao’s voice suddenly became louder.

    Zhou Ziheng was a little irritated and frowned unconsciously, “Yes, it was because of him that I lost.”

    In a sense, this reason is entirely valid.

    “That’s it… neither of you really wants to admit defeat, which is a bit different from what I imagined.” Ruan Xiao laughed, “I thought your relationship was very bad at first, but sometimes I think your relationship is quite good. It’s so confusing, can’t you keep kissing and being warm?”

    This direction… Zhou Ziheng frowned and stared at Ruan Xiao, who was smiling like an aunt, “Why do you want he and I to be intimate all the time?”

    Ruan Xiao showed a subtle expression of “you know” and pushed Zhou Ziheng with his palm, “Because I am also a self-study girl!”

    A program group, four guests, one is a fake fan who wants to sleep with himself, one is a CP fan who wants to watch himself sleep with a fake fan, and the remaining one has formed a rival CP with the fake fan…

    Fairy configuration.

    “Stop joking.”

    “I’m not kidding you, I’m serious.”

    “No, please take off your food.”

    “I won’t, please give me dog food!”

    Ruan Xiao was making trouble behind him, and Zhou Ziheng, who was walking in front, smiled and quickly ran away with a camera in his hand. As soon as he left the room, he bumped into someone.

    “Sorry…” I blurted out the apology subconsciously, but I didn’t expect that the person I bumped into was Xia Xiqing.

    “It’s okay…” Xia Xiqing covered her chest that was hit by the machine in Zhou Ziheng’s hand. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were slightly bent, and she smiled sincerely but not so sincerely. Her eyes fell on Ruan Xiao who stopped after bumping into Zhou Ziheng’s back, “What are you talking about? You are so happy.”

    Ruan Xiao was stunned for a moment, remembering Zhou Ziheng’s unwillingness to be grouped with him just now, and defended his words, “No, I’m just asking for selfie benefits for Ziheng’s fans.”

    “That’s it.” Xia Xiqing plucked back the long hair that was scattered on his forehead, looked back at Zhou Ziheng, and showed the yearning smile that a fan should have, “You haven’t posted a selfie for a long time. Idol.”

    Zhou Ziheng has already figured out Xia Xiqing. The word “idol” he deliberately emphasizes is displeasing. He doesn’t know where Xia Xiqing’s hostility comes from at this moment and why he is angry at him.

    It’s like I think he won’t be angry.

    Zhou Ziheng half-turned around, handed the DV to Ruan Xiao, took out the mobile phone in his pocket and swiped the screen to the right. He forced Xia Xiqing to his side with the other hand, held Xia Xiqing’s head with the hand around his shoulder, and held the mobile phone screen high with his right hand.

    Xia Xiqing raised his head, looked sideways at Zhou Ziheng when he saw the screen, and asked in a bad tone, “What are you doing?”

    “Take a selfie.”

    The shutter sounded. Zhou Ziheng let go of Xia Xiqing and looked at the photos he had taken.

    “Don’t post on Weibo, I’m warning you.”

    “Fan welfare.” Zhou Ziheng raised his eyebrows.

    Although Xia Xiqing was angry, he still maintained a gentle smile as always, “Ruan Xiao, you saw it. It was this big star who insisted on dragging me to get CP. I was the one who was unwilling to be forced to take a photo.” After saying that, he called Shang Sirui, who was being pulled by the stylist to touch up his makeup, and left the secret room.

    “I’m sure now,” Ruan Xiao clicked his tongue a few times, “You two must have quarreled.”

    Zhou Ziheng was too lazy to say anything else and put his phone back in his pocket.

    “Hey, will you post the photos on Weibo later?” Ruan Xiao winked with a smile, “You can also send them to me on WeChat.”

    “Hurry up and take some photos.” Zhou Ziheng reached into his pocket and held the phone with the photo in it.

    This time the behind-the-scenes filming lasted for nearly an hour, and it was almost early morning when it ended. Shang Sirui put his arm around Xia Xiqing’s shoulders, “I asked my assistant to order the most famous Japanese food here, as well as sake, and deliver them to the hotel later. Everyone go to my room to find me.”

    Ruan Xiao shook his head, “I’m so sleepy, I can’t even open my eyes.” She lowered her head and glanced at the watch on her wrist, “What time is it? If I eat and drink and stay up late, I will definitely swell like a pig tomorrow.”

    No matter how much Shang Sirui tried to coerce and induce, Ruan Xiao insisted on going home and sleeping. He had no choice but to focus all his firepower on Zhou Ziheng, tugging and coquettishly, “You kid, don’t let me run away! We must not get drunk today! I haven’t been free for a long time, why don’t you just drink with me once~”

    “I have to audition when I return to Beijing…”

    Shang Sirui retorted he with a proud look on his face, “I asked Ronaldinho! Your audition is the day after tomorrow! Don’t worry, it’s just a night of fun. Sake is not intoxicating. Just relax and unwind after your final exam, okay…”

    Zhou Ziheng’s arms were shaken by Shang Sirui, and his ears were filled with all kinds of hard words, but they seemed to be filtered, and he listened unaffected to the conversation between Xia Xiqing and Ruan Xiao standing aside.

    “Xi Qing, have you changed your perfume? This one smells so good. I planted it when I was at the airport.”

    “You mean it’s on me? Oh, this is my…friend’s perfume.”

    “What brand is it?”

    “Super Cedar? I don’t remember. It’s a bit of a stupid name anyway.”

    “Haha, are you really okay when you say that about your friend…”

    I had already forgotten that he was aroused by his fragile side and had a desire to protect me, and I had forgotten his amorous and addictive nature.

    friend?I think he’s just a sex buddy.

    It starts again, the sick heart.It was dull, not painful at all, but painfully sore and swollen.

    “Okay.” Zhou Ziheng raised his head and compromised with Shang Sirui.Shang Sirui, who had been stalking him, was startled by the enemy’s sudden surrender. After being stunned for half a second, he hugged Zhou Ziheng and said, “Really? You really want to accompany me? It’s fun, ah, I’m so happy~”

    After Ruan Xiao left, Shang Sirui dragged Zhou Ziheng and Xia Xiqing downstairs. It was almost midnight, but there were still many fans gathered downstairs, all of them girls. They started screaming when they saw Shang Sirui, who was leading the group.

    “Ahhhh Sansan!”

    “Damn it, Xia Shang and Zhou are out!”

    “Ahhhh my self-study!”

    “Hengheng! Mom loves you!”

    Xia Xiqing wore a mask before coming out. Although he didn’t like crowded environments, he still habitually showed an extremely friendly side. He walked over with his eyebrows arched and his head half lowered. When he met fans who called his name excitedly, he waved slightly.

    Shang Sirui is different. As an idol, he is already used to such scenes. He waves his hands and greets his fans very familiarly.

    Only Zhou Ziheng, who was walking at the end, was not so friendly to them, but solemnly gave ideological education to the fans, “Thank you for waiting so long, but it is really dangerous so late. What if something happens on your way home? Who is responsible?”

    When the fans heard Zhou Ziheng say this, their screams suddenly became quieter, and they responded in a low voice like little animals accepting criticism, “I know, we just want to see you…”

    Xia Xiqing got into Shang Sirui’s nanny car and heard Zhou Ziheng, who was following behind, giving instructions to the girls, his voice low but gentle.

    “Don’t do this again.”

    The synonym of this sentence is probably “It won’t happen next time.”

    It turns out that there is something wrong with he’s defense system. He is just a habitual good guy. I just need to pay more attention to you, a dangerous person with unstable mental health.

    Taking what he said about partiality seriously is extremely stupid.

    Xia Xiqing sat down next to Shang Sirui, and after getting in the car, he tilted his head on Shang Sirui’s shoulder.

    “What’s wrong?” Shang Sirui, who was playing with his cell phone, turned to look at Xia Xiqing.

    “Tired and hungry.”

    Shang Sirui smiled like a sunflower, raised his hand and patted Xia Xiqing’s head gently, “It will be fine in a moment. I tell you that the Japanese food is really delicious… He, our wine is also good, but I heard that the wine in that hotel is also good…”

    “Take a selfie with us.”

    Xia Xiqing suddenly spoke, interrupting Shang Sirui’s chatter.

    “Huh?”

    “Take a selfie and post it on Weibo. Didn’t we just finish recording the show? She has been waiting for so long, let’s give her some benefits.” Xia Xiqing’s voice was very soft and serious, and her head was still leaning on he.

    “Yeah, send some candy to our CP fans, hahaha.”

    As a member of a boy band who has been favored by the company for many years, Shang Sirui has long been familiar with this routine. He took out his mobile phone and took a picture in this posture. In order to show his aggression, he also deliberately put on a cool raised eyebrow expression. He originally wanted to reach out to touch Xia Xiqing’s chin, but found that he was wearing a mask, so he had to point at him with his index finger.

    When the shutter clicked, Xia Xiqing raised his head, took off the mask, balled it up and held it in his hand.

    Zhou Ziheng, who hadn’t noticed anything yet, also closed the car door, sat on the single seat next to the bed on the right side, and looked worriedly through the window at the group of girls still standing outside.

    He lowered his head and just fastened his seat belt when he heard Shang Sirui shouting to he excitedly, “Hey Ziheng, please like my Weibo for me! I just posted it~”

    After a perfunctory “Oh”, Zhou Ziheng took out his mobile phone, opened the Weibo homepage, and refreshed it.

    Sure enough, Shang Sirui’s new Weibo came up.

    [@HighFive Shang Sirui: Recording program shows autistic self-explosion players.]

    The accompanying picture is a selfie he just took. In that photo, Xia Xiqing, who is wearing a mask, is leaning obediently on Shang Sirui’s shoulder, only showing his beautiful, deceptive eyes, which are harmless and innocent.

    This is nothing.

    Zhou Ziheng accidentally pressed the home button due to shaking hands and exited the Weibo interface. He paused for a second, clicked on the photo album, and stared at the latest thumbnail in the [Camera Roll] album, the so-called group photo that he forcibly took.

    He was so angry that he directly clicked on the photo, his thumb hanging in the air, resting on the small blue trash can icon in the lower right corner.

    He clenched his back teeth tightly, clicked the icon hard, and chose the [Delete Photo] option as if to vent his anger.

    Then Zhou Ziheng said it was easy but not easy. He returned to Weibo and liked Shang Sirui’s Weibo.

    He turned his head unconsciously, but managed to meet Xia Xiqing’s eyes. He lazily leaned on the back of the seat and turned his face to look at himself, with an expression on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

    Zhou Ziheng almost sneered.Who knew that Xia Xiqing stuck out his tongue at he.

    The chin was raised slightly, like a bad three-year-old child.

    The author has something to say:

    Xia Xiqing was turned into an elementary school chicken by Zhou Ziheng, and he didn’t even notice.

    Countdown to the [official ambiguous period]…
