Chapter 22: Night Sky with Xingchen

Not to mention, Qi Xingchen's method is very effective, a morning past, buy expensive products than buy cheap products more. And out of consumer curiosity, the overall sales are several notches higher than before.

Lao Tie, however, was a bit upset in his heart and pulled Qi Xingchen aside: "Xingchen, do you think we are cheating people by doing this?"

To be honest, although Old Iron's iron is worth so much money, this sales tactic is really unkind, Qi Xingchen nodded.

Lao Tie discussed, "Then can we change the method this afternoon?"

Old Tie is a real person, Qi Xingchen naturally does not want to break him into a crooked businessman. Xiao Tie is next to him, and Qi Xingchen hopes that he will be as kind as his father.

At Lao Tie's request, we changed the promotion method in the afternoon. Qi Xingchen picked up his old profession and threw pots and pans all over the sky, Tao Tao and Liu Ziyu smiled more sweetly than one another, and many young men bought several more pots.

Then someone recognized Bai Ye, and the booth was swept clean of all the merchandise. The day's mission was successfully completed, and everyone sat on the empty bucket, patting their fanny packs and singing the whole way.

Back at the Zeng family's yard, Director Zhao gathers the men into a group to take stock of the status of today's mission.

"Good job on the first mission everyone, so I'll spare you the fluff. Now announce the reward: a PASS card!"

"When a task comes up that you find difficult to complete or don't want to complete, you can use a PASS card to go straight through with a reward slot of: 1."

The guests were happy to hear the PASS card, but when they heard that there was only one spot available, they all wailed in unison, "What about the seven of us!"

"Hey, anyway, PASS is just one, you guys distribute it as you like, I'm leaving~" Director Zhao was afraid of getting beaten up, and threw down the card and left.

There was no way around it, if you participate in someone else's program, you can only abide by their rules. Zhang Yunfei clapped his hands and said helplessly, "Having a card is better than not having one. Let's do it this way, I'll say who I think should get the card, and we'll all vote by a show of hands, okay?"

"OK."

"Then I think Xingchen and Bai Ye's contribution is the highest today, a big part of our turnover today comes from them, any comments?"

Everyone shook their heads, "No."

"Let's have a show of hands," Zhang Yunfei says, "Remove the two parties and there are exactly five left, and the ones with three and more votes get the PASS card."

Zhou Yu's eyeballs turned around, Bai Ye is the most popular person in this program, if he can get closer to Bai Ye, and stir up a CP or something on the way, it will definitely be full of heat.

Now is the time to curry favor with Bai Ye, Zhou Yu raised his hand with a swish, "I vote for Bai Ye."

"Okay," Zhang Yunfei pointed at Liu Ziyu, "Ziyu, what about you."

"I vote for Xingchen."

Zhang Yunfei: "Next ......"

"No need to vote," Bai Ye cuts him off, "Give the card directly to Xingchen."

"Why?" Zhou Yu, who had just finished standing in line, immediately darkened his face and said, "Bai Ye, you don't have to be humble, we'll get the reward based on our strength, Xingchen can agree too, right Xingchen?"

Zhou Yu was right, Qi Xingchen "hmm".

Bai Ye, however, frowned, "It's just a card." He didn't believe he had a task he couldn't get through.

"Then you can use it to take a break when you're tired," Zhou Yu continued, "No need to be modest!"

Ever since he witnessed Zhou Yu's hands on Qi Xingchen during the audition, Bai Ye had guessed that the two of them had a grudge against each other. Now that he saw Zhou Yu's face, he could hardly hide the disgust in his eyes.

"I didn't let it go, it's Xingchen's due," Bai Ye said impatiently, "Besides it's me and my ......"

When the word "fan" came to his lips, he remembered that Qi Xingchen was afraid of rubbing off on him and had been reluctant to call himself a "Bai Ye fan" in front of the camera, and Bai Ye changed it to "friend" instead. Bai Ye changed his name to "friend".

"This is between me and my friend, we can talk amongst ourselves."

Bai Ye's statement is very straightforward and has two meanings, first: it's none of your business; second: Xingchen is my friend, you're not.

Zhou Yu's face couldn't be described as hard to look at anymore, and his body was permeated with embarrassment even through his pores.

And Qi Xingchen, startled, immediately crossed to Bai Ye's side, his voice small: "The camera's here."

"Uh-huh."

"Don't you get mad."

"Uh-huh."

Qi Xingchen wanted to say a few more words, but the camera was there, so he decided to wait until the evening to coax the male lead.

.

The two guests choking each other is a big deal, but with Bai Ye as one of the participants, the clip had to be cut. Either way, if it gets out, Bai Ye's team won't be able to spare McMansion if he gets in trouble.

In front of a group of people were demolished to demolish the dregs are left, Zhou Yu face can not hang, said that the body is not feeling well, hand threw away turned back to the room.

At dinner, the table changed back to six.

What's more ironic is that halfway through the meal, Luo Qiuman remembered, "Aigoo, I don't think Lantau has eaten yet, should we bring him some?"

"...... Well, send it," Zhang Yunfei nodded rather perfunctorily, "but he's not feeling well, so I don't know if he'll be able to eat it."

"Then I will pick a few dishes for him ...... Ziyu, I can't take them, you accompany me."

"I can't stop eating, either that or I'll get a stomach ache easily," Liu Ziyu refused, "Sister Qiuman, you find someone else to go with you."

"Stopping to eat gives you a stomach ache" is pure nonsense, Qi Xingchen glanced at Liu Ziyu. She's been defending him lately, both openly and secretly, and Qi Xingchen can feel it.

No matter what Liu Ziyu's sudden change in attitude was, as long as she didn't pick a fight with Qi Xingchen, she wouldn't give her a hard time.

But today's pass card fight reminded Qi Xingchen of one thing - Zhou Yu can't be kept.

I thought the crisis would be over, but then Zhou Yu was shoved in. Now Qi Yuji's incarnation as vicious cannon fodder seems like a time bomb hanging over his head, and at some point it's going to BOOM!

He can't afford the consequences of this. He doesn't want to die yet.

After three or two mouths of rice, and did not finish eating all of you said hello, Qi Xingchen thinking for a moment, walking like a sheep sheep village around a circle, while walking and observing, found the roadside drying field is good.

Qi Xingchen took note of the location of the drying yard and then downloaded a live streaming platform.

.

Zhou Yu didn't come out of his room until late at night.

Qi Xingchen hid under the covers and called Qi Yuji in a low voice: "I brought the gift back, but I was on the plane yesterday and didn't have time to tell you."

"Ahhhhhhhh! Xingchen, what day are you coming home?"

He feigned regret, "It's going to be more than a month, and I can't go back during the taping of the program."

Qi Yuji remained silent for a moment and said weakly, "But, but I want to see your gift so badly."

"Then I'll get express mail to send it back to you."

"No way! What if the courier breaks and loses it?"

"Either ......" Qi Xingchen suggests, "you come over to me to get it and stop by to see me?"

Qi Yuji: "......"

Qi Yuji has not seen his brother for ten days or so, and has wanted to come and see him for a long time. But he didn't dare to say anything for fear of being rejected by his brother.

Not realizing that her brother had taken the initiative to invite her, Qi Yuji was so happy that she could hardly wait to run over there!

"Really. Xingchen, you really want me to come?"

"Really, pick a day and come tomorrow," Qi Xingchen said, "I'll book your flight now."

Qi Yuji refused the ticket, Qi's family plane had just been serviced and it was much easier to take a private jet than to go to the airport.

After hanging up Qi Yuji's phone, Qi Xingchen went to knock on Bai Ye's door secretly with a small box in his hand, just as he did yesterday.

But this time he learned his lesson and went ahead and covered the camera after Bai Ye put him in.

After covering up tightly, he turned around and saw Bai Ye, who was sitting on the window sill, leaning against the window. the male lead's two long legs were stretched out as if he had nowhere to put them, and he looked down at him slightly, with the mole on the bridge of his nose looming large.

Qi Xingchen's brain instantly went blank.

It is said that a beauty can be seen under the lamp, and this fake Ai Dou has inherited all the advantages of the real Ai Dou, with white skin and long legs, and dark eyes that seem to have a vortex when she looks at you.

Qi Xingchen almost drowned in it.

Bai Ye was in no hurry either, quietly waiting for him to speak.

Qi Xingchen struggled for a few moments before finally breaking out and saying incoherently, "So what, you're still awake."

"Uh-huh."

"It's pretty late, insomnia?"

"Because you're here," Bai Ye said faintly, "to get down to business."

Come on, it looks like the anger hasn't subsided yet. Qi Xingchen sighed, "Don't be angry, I was wrong this afternoon."

Bai Ye: "What's wrong with you?"

Qi Xingchen : "......"

Yeah, what's wrong with him?

"...... It's all my fault anyway," Qi Xingchen said stiffly and blindly, "I shouldn't have pushed back on the PASS card, so forgive me."

"I'm angry because of this?"

"So who are you mad at, Zhou Yu? It's even less necessary for him."

"...... Not for him," Bai Ye was speechless for a moment, then his eyes fell to his hand, "What you're holding."

At the end of the first stop, Qi Xingchen bought gifts for all the crew. Last night he was so focused on getting Bai Ye a quilt that he forgot about the gifts.

Thinking about it tonight.

Qi Xingchen spreads out his palm, on which lies an AirPods charging case, patterned with an ink-blue night sky, the Milky Way flowing slowly with the moonlight, sparkling and mysterious.

"For you." He said.

"Sending me?" Bai Ye raised an eyebrow and took it.

He looked back and forth twice over and suddenly smiled, "You drew that yourself?"

Qi Xingchen : "...... Yes."

"It's both you and me, nice symbolism," Bai Ye said, "Thanks, I'll take it."

"You're welcome ......" Qi Xingchen wonders, "But there's only the night sky up there, where's me?"

Bai Ye points to the glittering Xingchen, "If it isn't you."

Qi Xingchen froze.

He was dumped at the door of an orphanage at birth, and his name was given by the director on the fly. "Qi" was taken from the meaning of abandonment, and "star" was a word so common that it couldn't be more common.

When he was finally adopted, within two years, his adoptive parents sent him to a vaudeville troupe. Like a piece of grass, he was picked up and thrown away, a veritable pariah.

But when it comes to the hero, he becomes a Xingchen ...... in the night sky. He is a tiny speck of dust, how can he be worthy to stand together with Ai Dou?

"I'm not, I'm not," Qi Xingchen explains, "I was only thinking of the night sky when I painted it, not myself!"

It was Bai Ye's turn to freeze.

He just casually said something, but he did not expect the other party to react so violently. He immediately thought of Qi Xingchen's previous behavior and performance.

Qi Xingchen saw that he didn't say anything and asked tentatively, "So, are you angry now?"

"......"

Bai Ye doesn't give an affirmative answer and steps forward.

Raising his arm, he froze for a moment, and finally his palm landed on top of Qi Xingchen's head.

Unlike the cold scent of his body, Fake Ai Dou's palms were warm and ironic, just enough to chase away the cold of the long night.

"If you don't want me to get angry," Qi Xingchen heard him say, "next time you'll behave."
