    Chapter 20 Nameless Jealousy

    After finishing the work, Shang Sirui’s assistant found a hot pot restaurant near the recording location that was still open in the early morning and booked a private room.The five of them walked straight to the hotel room after they came out. Shang Sirui, who was familiar with the business, ordered a lot of signboards, “I have been here with the group members and passed by several shows before. This hot pot restaurant is authentic, authentic Sichuan flavor.”

    “Are you from Sichuan?” Ruan Xiao asked.

    Shang Sirui smiled so hard that he couldn’t see his teeth, “Beijing people.” He raised his eyes and looked at everyone, “Do you drink?”

    Cen Chen shook his head, “I’m going on tour soon, so I have to protect my throat.”

    “I don’t drink.” Zhou Ziheng took off his coat and poured himself a glass of water, “No need to order it for me.”

    From the moment he took off his coat, Xia Xiqing’s eyes never left his body. Wearing only a white T-shirt, he looked fresh and refreshing, like a college student.

    The bulging veins on the back of the hand when holding the cup, the slender fingers with clear joints, the thick eyelashes when drooping, the angular jawline, the high and raised brow bones, every broken piece is perfect.

    He’s gaze extended down the side of Zhou Ziheng’s neck, almost intertwined with the muscle texture, all the way down from the loose cotton collar to the invisible place.

    This guy looks too damn good for his liking.

    “Xi Qing, are you drinking?”

    Shang Sirui’s question interrupted Xia Xiqing’s reverie, “Me?” The moment he came back to his senses, Xia Xiqing found that Zhou Ziheng, who was sitting opposite, was still holding the glass, but his eyes were looking at him, but only for a moment, because he quickly looked away and frowned slightly.

    How interesting.Xia Xiqing put his right elbow on the table, holding his chin with his palm, and turned his face to Shang Sirui, “Yes, I want red wine.”

    “Hot pot with red wine?” Shang Sirui laughed, “You really know how to pair it.”

    “I’m actually not very hungry yet.” Xia Xiqing still turned his face sideways and smiled at Shang Sirui, “I just want to drink some wine to relieve my previous nervousness.”

    Eating at the same table can almost be regarded as the fastest way to bring strangers closer together, not to mention that the five of them have been locked up together for several hours in a reality show, so the distance is even closer.Without the tension and mutual suspicion during the game, it was much easier for everyone to chat.

    Cen Chen was trying to maintain his voice during the tour and could not eat spicy food. She was a little surprised when she saw that Zhou Ziheng did not touch spicy hotpot, “Don’t you eat spicy food?”

    Zhou Ziheng shook his head, “It’s not very edible.”

    “Ziheng’s diet is very healthy. When I was recording a show with him, I found that he usually doesn’t smoke or drink. He eats very light meals and even soaks wolfberry in a thermos cup.”

    What kind of veteran cadre style is this? Xia Xiqing couldn’t help laughing.

    What’s wrong is the behavior of three good students.

    While Ruan Xiao was rinsing his hairy belly, he asked Shang Sirui through the hot mist, “Is your personality so different? I have a friend who really likes your group, but she is another member. She has been with you many times. I heard her say that you are quite confused on and off stage.”

    Shang Sirui bit the end of his chopsticks and let out a long hum, “Actually, I’m not that confused usually. How can I put it, our group members are all quite young, and many fans regard us as sons, especially my fans. They usually shout “Mom loves you” when picking up the company at the airport, so the company deliberately showed the cute and childish side in some daily highlights. Over time, they were forced to install cute characters.”

    he took out a beef ball from the hot pot and put it into his bowl. He reminded Ruan Xiao, “Ah, your tripe may be old.”

    “Ah, yes, yes.” Ruan Xiao picked up his tripe in a panic, and Cen Xun said next, “Then don’t you feel tired? Pretend to be a different character. ”

    As soon as he said this, Xia Xiqing felt like someone was looking at him. When he looked up, he saw Zhou Ziheng staring at him.

    How can I be tired after doing such an interesting thing?Xia Xiqing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, turned his eyes away from Zhou Ziheng, picked up the cup and took a sip of wine.

    “It’s okay, actually, I’m quite confused usually.” At this point, Shang Sirui started to sigh again, “It’s rare for me to be a villain, and I really almost won. It’s a pity. I had planned everything perfectly, but I was messed up by Xi Qing halfway, and I panicked all of a sudden.”

    Xia Xiqing chuckled lightly, “You can only blame yourself for being too easily influenced.”

    “What was your previous plan?” Cen Chen asked.

    “I pretended well at the beginning. I wasn’t trying to trick you and Ruan Xiao, saying that Xi Qing was highly suspicious, and you believed it. When the first round of voting started, our votes could vote Xi Qing out. Xi Qing is too powerful, and staying here would be a hidden danger. When Zi Heng had almost collected all the clues, I used my killer privileges to kill Zi Heng, reap the benefits of being a fisherman, and break through the city gate in one fell swoop! Perfect~”

    Shang Sirui, who was happily explaining the original plan, changed his expression and leaned on the back of his chair like a wilted eggplant. “Oh, what a pity, my plan was discovered by Xi Qing. As soon as he found out, he ran to find clues to expose my identity. The voting was about to take place. Of course I was anxious, so I killed Xi Qing without even thinking.”

    Hearing this, Xia Xiqing couldn’t help but laugh, “Did you regret it just after the killing?”

    “No, I regret it so much.” Shang Sirui shook his head, “It’s too late to regret, so I just thought about having a fight with Ziheng, but it turned out that Ziheng had already obtained all the clues at that time and knew that I was the killer, and he hadn’t started yet.Here I am.” Shang Sirui stuffed another piece of rice cake into his mouth and looked at Zhou Ziheng, who had been silent. “By the way, Ziheng, how did you know that I was a killer?Did Xi Qing tell you?”

    When talking about Zhou Ziheng, Xia Xiqing deliberately did not turn around to look at him, but still looked sideways in the direction of Shang Sirui with an extremely gentle expression.

    Zhou Ziheng hummed, and Cen Chen, who was sitting on the side, rarely laughed, “Just believe what he says.”

    “…” Zhou Ziheng was choked again and didn’t know what to say.

    Ruan Xiao also joined in, “It stands to reason that the final clue to cracking the door should have been given to Ziheng by Xi Qing.”

    Shang Sirui suddenly reacted, “Ah, I know! It’s that painting!” He shook his chopsticks excitedly, half-turned to look at Xia Xiqing, “That’s the rose, right? Ahhh, I was so angry, I should have snatched that painting away.” He patted his forehead hard, “Why am I so stupid!”

    Xia Xiqing was completely amused by Shang Sirui’s look of regretting his mistake. He still maintained the lazy posture of supporting his chin with his hand, stretched out his left hand and took Shang Sirui’s hand that was patting his forehead, and said with a smile, “Stop patting, the more you pat, the more you pat.”

    “I’ll go, it’s really that painting.” Shang Sirui grabbed Xia Xiqing’s outstretched hand and shook Xia Xiqing vigorously, “No, I’m so sad. You have to make it up to me and paint for me! I want extra large ones, two! One to hang in my dormitory and one for my mother!”

    He had been drinking, and although he was not drunk yet, Xia Xiqing felt dizzy after being shaken by him like this. He could only smile and compromise, “Okay, okay, just two paintings. I’ll paint them for you when I get back tomorrow.”

    This pampering and pampering attitude was quite common for Xia Xiqing himself, especially when he met people with willful tempers in the past. Before he got tired of it, Xia Xiqing would always behave like this.As soon as the other person sees the gentle smile on his face, he always thinks that he occupies a considerable position in his heart.I don’t know if they are all fake.

    But this look seemed real to Zhou Ziheng.

    It wasn’t anything else. Zhou Ziheng just couldn’t figure it out. He couldn’t figure it out no matter what. This person was obviously his fan. He kept saying that he liked him and expressed his loyalty in the same way.Logically speaking, as a fan, it’s hard to have dinner with your idol, so shouldn’t you seize every opportunity to talk to your idol?

    But Xia Xiqing didn’t even look at Zhou Ziheng seriously the whole night.

    Unreasonable boredom.

    This romantic scumbag must be 100% attracted to Shang Sirui.Sure enough, the relationship between fans is the most unreliable. When they say they like you, they want to give you their heart. Once they climb the wall, it would be a kindness not to come back and step on you.

    Zhou Ziheng held the chopsticks and couldn’t take a bite. His ears were filled with the laughter of the two people sitting opposite.

    After eating a late-night snack for nearly two hours, Shang Sirui suddenly remembered something when the show was about to end, “Let’s set up a WeChat group.” He took out his mobile phone, “This way we can chat every day, how nice.”

    Zhou Ziheng didn’t want to join the group at all, but Shang Sirui directly pulled him in. His phone kept vibrating. When he opened it, a group called “Let me guess who the killer is today” kept flashing new messages.

    “Everyone, please change your notes.” Ruan Xiao reminded.

    Forced to do so, Zhou Ziheng changed his notes. When he exited, he glanced at the group members and immediately saw Xia Xiqing.In fact, Xia Xiqing has not changed the remark yet, but Zhou Ziheng recognized his avatar at a glance.

    It’s the painting of him playing in a red jersey.

    For some reason, the boredom in his chest suddenly dissipated a lot. Zhou Ziheng frowned and stared at the small portrait. He was afraid that others would notice that he was staring, so he didn’t dare to click on the big picture to look at it, so he could only look at it with half-squinted eyes.

    After looking at it for a while, he looked up at Xia Xiqing, who was sitting opposite.

    He was leaning on the chair, his head was turned to one side, his hair covered most of his face, and he couldn’t tell whether his eyes were open or closed.

    Like he was very drunk.

    Shang Sirui saw Zhou Ziheng looking this way and looked sideways, “Hey, Xi Qing, are you drunk? Are you okay?” He pushed Xia Xiqing’s hair to one side, revealing his slightly red face.

    Xia Xiqing hummed in confusion, as if he didn’t hear what Shang Sirui said clearly. This hum came over and over again, and his voice was hoarse after being drunk.

    You’re so drunk, I’ll see how you go back later.Zhou Ziheng almost gave him a blank stare.

    “Where is Xi Qing’s hotel?” Cen Xun asked, “I think I saw an assistant next to him today, but it’s so late…”

    Ruan Xiao took out his mobile phone and prepared to call a taxi, “How about letting him live at my place? My home is not far from here.”

    “No. It’s easy to be misunderstood. Maybe there are reporters outside. You’re a man and a woman, so it’s easy for you to be miswritten. You’d better take he to the hotel where I’m staying, and we can spend the night together.” As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Sirui began to feel worried, “Oh no, I will fly out early tomorrow morning, and he will be left alone.”

    Everyone was discussing the issue of Xia Xiqing’s ownership, but Zhou Ziheng remained silent.

    he Now for some reason, he has a sense of déjà vu that he is afraid of being called on by the teacher to answer questions in class.

    “Zi Heng, why don’t you take Xi Qing to your place? I remember your hotel is quite close to here. Didn’t you drive the car?”

    What are you afraid of?Murphy’s Law doesn’t lie to me.

    Zhou Ziheng gave up on himself and accepted the challenge given to him by fate.

    Shang Sirui helped carry Xia Xiqing into Zhou Ziheng’s car, and closed the passenger door. “I’m leaving then. I have to go to work tomorrow, so you should go to bed early.”

    Zhou Ziheng nodded.

    “Don’t forget to fasten he’s seat belt.” Shang Sirui, who had walked far away, turned back and shouted to he.

    Xia Xiqing, who was drunk and unconscious, was leaning on the passenger seat, like a cat that had fallen asleep.Zhou Ziheng worked hard to straighten he, and leaned forward to pull out the seat belt for he. This position was not very effective, and he tried for a long time without success.

    Trouble as hell.

    The cunning, shameless, liar and coquettish Xia Xiqing became a little puppet in Zhou Ziheng’s heart, and he slapped a new label of “trouble” on his forehead.

    After recording the show, I really don’t want to see this person again.

    Zhou Ziheng was murmuring this in his heart, but he didn’t know who he was murmuring to.

    Suddenly, the drunk and unconscious man made a whimpering sound like a small animal, and then hugged him from the front.

    His head was buried in Zhou Ziheng’s neck.

    Zhou Ziheng suddenly felt a pair of soft lips gently rubbing the side of his neck. He felt as if an electric current had passed through his body, crackling and tingling from his neck to his fingertips.This unwarranted electric current finally exploded into the chest.

    Paralyzed the heart.

    Classmate Zhou Ziheng, who felt this mysterious taste for the first time in twenty years, once again forgot about this person who hugged him in a drunken state and refused to let go.

    He has always been a liar.
