Chapter 93: Responses
Original Translations: Crafted with Care, No Unauthorized Reposting Allowed.
The north is dry and cold at the beginning of winter, and the wind is swirling and slamming into my body. Xingchen Qi, who has successfully lost weight, wrapped his coat and took one last look at his family members who were dropping off the plane, and went into the security checkpoint with one step and three steps back.
I remember the day I went to record "Poor Travels", my family also sent off the plane with the same flourish as now. But at that time he had just come in, his family was good to him, he always felt that it was the original owner's family, not his family.
Not anymore, he has fallen in love with these exaggerated, sometimes Lisu Ma, but kind, sincere and warm-hearted Ki family members after spending time with them day after day.
So when you want to go out to work, you can no longer leave as decisively as you did when you entered the "Poor Travel" program. What's that saying ...... With the armor, there is also a weakness.
The good thing is that he can still come back after the shooting, until he can't see his family's figure, Xingchen Qi collects his emotions, and gives Ye Bai a safe report.
Xing Xing : [into the security check]
[Moon]: [Well, how many fans are there for the drop-off?
Xing Xing: [I went VIP straight through and didn't see any fans. But Ran An didn't tell the support group in advance, so I don't think they will organize a send-off.
[Moon]: [Good, remember to tell me when you get on and off the plane]
Xing Xing :【I know, I will report to you!
[Moon]: [I asked you to tell me, not to keep track of your whereabouts, but to worry about your safety]
Xing Xing :【I know, I will report to you!
[Moon]: [......]
Through the screen, Xingchen Qi could imagine the helpless expression on Ye Bai's face, and he was in a good mood. At this time, Ran An came over with some cups of coffee and handed him a cup, " Jiang Jiang and Qin Lao will be here soon, let's go wait for them in the front."
"Hmmm ...... Ran An sis, why is my coffee Americano? I want a hazelnut latte!"
"Hazelnut lattes are too sugary," Ran An says cruelly, "and you don't deserve them right now."
...... Xing Xing kind of wants to cry.
But before he cried, he first gave his boyfriend some cute emojis to coax him, and after he got Ye Bai's helpless reply, Xingchen Qi realized that he seemed to be getting more and more skinny in his communication with Ye Bai.
He would never dare to joke with Ye Bai like this before!
Ye Bai must have been too gentle and indulgent during this time, giving him the illusion that he could be unbridled.
Xingchen Qi lowered his eyebrows and began to think about how to try to redeem his image in Ye Bai's mind. Ran An took him to the waiting room and sat down, then suddenly remembered something: "By the way Xing Xing, what are you going to do for your birthday? Do you want to have a fan meeting?"
Birthday ......
Xingchen Qi was stunned and remembered with a start that the original owner's birthday was December 28th.
Today is December 3rd, which means there are still twenty-five days to go until the original owner's birthday. Time is not long, not short, if there is the intention to open a fan club, now you have to start preparing.
Coincidentally, Xingchen Qi was dropped off at the door of the orphanage not long after he was born. When the director of the orphanage picked him up, there was a note stuck in his swaddling clothes with his birthday written on it.
Like the original owner, it is also December 28th, the day the year will soon end.
Only there are too many children in the orphanage, some know their real birthdays and some don't. Finally, the director decided to celebrate the children uniformly according to their admission dates.
So for Xingchen Qi, there is no clear concept of birth or not, it is okay to live or not. Even just now Ran An did not ask, he almost forgot this day.
"I should have a scene on the 28th," Xingchen Qi thought about it, "I can't delay the shooting for a birthday party, let's forget about it this year."
"Ok." Ran An had already guessed his answer.
"Inform the back-up associations, fan groups and individual stations not to organize any fund-raising or support activities, and not to accept gifts," Xingchen Qi added, "If they have to send me something, just write a letter and give them the company's mailing address."
"Okay, I'll make a note of it."
After talking to Ran An a few more times, Jiang Jiang and Qin Lao arrived late. Jiang Jiang carried three big cases of makeup - and that's with more than 100ml of skin care products checked in.
Xingchen Qi hurried to help her carry two, save his royal stylist arm is stretched bad, can not make up is not good.
Three hours later, the plane landed and the four of them moved from the north side to the north side of J city. Ran An called the crew's pick-up person, and not long after, the director's assistant appeared outside the pick-up gate holding a sign for "Grey Tracks
Grey Track" is the name of Xingchen Qi's upcoming web series.
The director's assistant, about thirty years old, saw them and immediately ran up to greet them, shook hands and introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Qi, my name is Li Zhuang, call me Zhuang Da if you don't mind. The car is in the parking lot, I need to ask you to walk with me for a while, I will take you to the hotel."
"Lead the way," Xingchen Qi asked as she followed him toward the parking lot, "Brother Zhuang Da, where is Director Zhou now?"
"Director Zhou is on set looking at the set and taking a few sets of empty shots along the way."
"Then don't go to the hotel first," Xingchen Qi thought about it, "please take me directly to the set."
Usually the male and female leads into the group will first go to the hotel, and so on the evening and the director of production and so on after meeting, the next day by the director to the set to do the introduction.
To put it bluntly, it is a matter of identity and curiosity. The protagonist should have the lead role of the party, the small actors will be similar to Xingchen Qi filming "Heart of the Ocean", their own bum to the set to find the director.
But Zhuang Da didn't know what he was doing and didn't stop, taking a few people to the car with the M1 logo on it.
M stands for male, 1 is the first, M1 means male number one. This car is specially used to transport Xingchen Qi, no one is allowed or qualified to get on it.
Xingchen Qi was a little excited to get special treatment for the first time, and jumped in first without waiting for Zhuang Da to open the door for him.
Zhuang Da : "......"
Ran An looked at him with the eyes of a landlord's foolish son and sighed quietly.
When the people are all seated, Zhuang Da drives straight to the set. He knows the way, so he will drive the car today, and Qin Lao will take over the car from tomorrow.
When Xingchen Qi went out from the underground parking lot, he took a look outside and found that unlike H City, the sky in J City was already covered with scattered snowflakes.
" Zhuang Da brother, when did it start snowing over here?" Xingchen Qi said, a wisp of breath floating out of her mouth.
"The temperature dropped a few days ago," Zhuang Da replied, "so I sent a message yesterday asking you to bring more warm clothes. Now it's nine degrees below zero outside, and after the snow, I'm afraid it will drop to more than ten degrees below zero."
Xingchen Qi immediately thought of Ye Bai after hearing Zhuang Da's words. Near the end of the year, New Year's Eve concerts and various award ceremonies are being held one after another, some recorded and live, and some platforms are also doing their own year-end roundups, basically sending Ye Bai invitations, so he has been flying around in the sky in recent days.
Sometimes it is inevitable to fly from the cold zone to the tropics, the weather is cold and hot easy to catch a cold. Xingchen Qi not chatting, pulling out Lun A's WeChat: [ Lun A, give me your hotel address ]
Lun A probably idle, back quite fast: [xx street xx, Xing Xing, you want the address why?
Xing Xing : [buy something for your boss]
Now most of the takeaway software has opened the "help buy help send" function, Xingchen Qi hair, open the high map search for local large supermarkets, pick and choose, selected hand warmers, hot stickers, thermal cups, cold punch, antipyretic paste and a series of cold supplies and drugs.
Before placing the order, he remembered that Ye Bai had said he wanted to wear a couple's suit with him.
At that time, he thought of buying clothes for Ye Bai, but Ye Bai is a picky dresser, and without knowing the exact size, he couldn't buy them, so he never did.
Now there is a good opportunity.
Xingchen Qi eyes fell on a large chain of stores, and finally could not resist the itch to order another velvet pajamas.
It just so happens that the same chain of malls is available in J. He bought himself a single in the same style and different patterns.
After all is done, he told Lun A: [almost evening can arrive, contact information left on your phone. When the time comes, please pick up, and wait to meet you to eat a big meal!
Xing Xing : [And, first do not need to tell your boss, as a small surprise hehehe].
Lun A returned an "ok" expression, turned around and betrayed the person who wanted to treat him, and told Ye Bai, "Xing Xing just contacted me."
"Hmm?" Ye Bai in the lounge waiting to record raised her left eyebrow, "What did he want with you?"
"He bought you something and asked me to pick it up."
"What is it?"
"I really don't know this, I guess it's a take-out or hometown delivery or something like that."
Although a relationship with a small fan for a while, but because of the nature of work and family factors, the two rich to the flow of oil what is not lacking people have not sent each other anything.
Ye Bai was really curious, "Let me know when it arrives and I'll go pick it up myself."
Lun A is anxious: "Boss, by the doggy ......"
"It's okay," Ye Bai interrupts, "don't put them at ease."
After a pause, Ye Bai said, "When you get back tonight, send me a copy of this month's announcement list."
"Notice list? Do you have a special arrangement, boss?"
Ye Bai gave him a "nosy" look and ignored Lun A.
.
Narrow alleyways, a few old and dilapidated buildings, piles of garbage on the left and right, and a cesspool with a vague smell of rancidity constitute the main scene of "Gray Track".
This is an urban village in J City, early winter at two o'clock in the afternoon, stepping on the dirty streets can not see a few residents.
Occasionally, a woman who came out to take out the garbage, wearing poor quality furs and slipping on cotton slippers, cursed and passed by several people; on the second floor on the left, the sound of a small couple arguing with the sound of barking dogs kept scratching the eardrums of the crowd.
Zhuang Da apologized, "The environment here is not very good, so it's hard for Mr. Qi to bear with me."
"Zhuang Da brother, you can call me Xing Xing, called teacher or something too awkward," Xingchen Qi but does not care, while looking around and praise, "Zhou director selected the scene is really high degree of reproduction."
Xiaolong Liang, the main character of "Grey Track", was separated from her family when she was young and was trafficked to the countryside, where she was sold to a farmer named Liang.
The first day he arrived at Liang's house, he became very ill because of the uncomfortable soil and the bumpy road. After recovering, he not only forgot who his biological parents were, but also suffered some damage to his intelligence. It does not prevent him from living normally, but he is much slower than his peers.
So he failed the college entrance examination, want to repeat, but the family conditions do not allow, reluctantly came to the city, in the city village rented a one-bedroom apartment, ready to work to save tuition, while they review the contents of high school.
Because of his small growth and thin body, a random inspection of a business place, the heroine, who is a police officer, took him back to the police station as a child laborer and accidentally discovered that he was one of the victims of a child trafficking case more than ten years ago.
Since the case was opened, two generations of criminal police officers have been exhausted by this abduction case. Seeing the light of the case solved, the heroine began to help him find his biological parents and took him, with him, on the long road to fight against abduction and trafficking.
The emotional part of "Grey Tracks" is relatively uneventful, and is typical of a sibling relationship with a redemption route. The plot part is tense, interlocking, quite a bit of black humor, very infectious.
Seeing that Xingchen Qi did not mind at all, Zhuang Da secretly "tsked" and led him to the set.
Xingchen Qi instructed Ran An to keep quiet and stand behind the director, silently observing his filming technique.
In less than half an hour, the set of empty shots was finally finished. Ran An went up to greet the director, and after they had a few words, Zhou waved at Xingchen Qi: "Xiao Qi, come here."
Xingchen Qi went over as he was told.
Director Zhou asked, "After a long morning, why didn't you go to the hotel to rest first?"
"I wanted to come and see Xiaolong Liang's living environment," Xingchen Qi says matter-of-factly, "to save being slow to get into the scene upfront."
Zhou director froze, he is thirty-six years old, since graduating from college to shoot five or six plays, met no less than a hundred actors, this is the first time to see a young actor into the set first thing is to figure out into the play.
He cried and laughed: "tomorrow to take the final photo, the day after tomorrow to start the banquet is the first female role, the day after tomorrow to have your first scene, do not need to be so anxious."
Xingchen Qi, however, firmly shook his head, he decided early, these days to be on the set and around the set more around, which can be figured out Xiaolong Liang's character.
After all, the character's personality is most influenced by the environment in which he lives, and without personal experience, he can never understand the joy and sorrow of others.
He stayed on the set until 8:00 p.m. that day and returned to the hotel, where the director took the main crew to give him a brief wind-up. At 10:30 p.m., in order not to affect the shooting tomorrow, the director promptly called a halt and dismissed the crowd to their rooms.
Before the reception dinner, Xingchen Qi realized that his phone was about to run out of battery, so he hurriedly sent messages to his family and Ye Bai to report his safety. After he finished eating, he went back to his room to recharge his battery and turned on his phone. In addition to his family telling him to take care of himself, there were three unread messages on the top dialog box.
Xingchen Qi hurriedly poked away:
[Moon]: [?
[Moon]: [?
[Moon]: [?
Surprisingly three of the same message, Xingchen Qi head full of questions: [your phone card]
[Moon]: [No.]
[Moon]: [The reception is over?
Xing Xing : [just finished]
Xing Xing: [Why do you send so many question marks ah]
Ye Bai : "......"
How dare you ask?
He helplessly typed: [I received your things, hand warmers mugs those are very much like. But ...... What happened to the pajamas?
Xing Xing : [Don't you like it?
Ye Bai plucked the coral velvet pajamas spread out on the bed - white background, black flowers, but not the ordinary white background black flowers.
It's a cow kind of flower color.
-Yes, Xingchen Qi chose a very kawaii cow pajamas with a tail behind her butt.
In all his years of life, he has never worn such childish pajamas.
Ye Bai deliberated for a moment and carefully came up with a wording that would not hurt his little fans: [Pajamas are great, but they may not suit me].
Xing Xing :【The size is not suitable or the material is not suitable?
Ye Bai thought to himself: Not quite right for my age group.
[Moon]: [The size is very appropriate, just the pattern well ......]
As a result, the opposite side suddenly did not reply. Ye Bai waited for ten minutes, and the more I thought about it, the more I regretted it.
It couldn't be that what he said broke the little fan's heart, could it?
When you think about it, the little fan originally wore zebra pajamas and must have a fondness for animal pajamas with black and white color scheme. He said so, easily misunderstood as bashing each other's aesthetics.
"......" The more Ye Bai thought about it, the more he regretted it and fished over the phone intending to hurry up and coax people.
However, before he could send a video invitation, the other party's video popped over first. Two seconds later, the culprit little fan appeared on top of the screen.
The nose and mouth are red, the chest is heaving, probably just in a hurry to do something, a small gasp breathe.
The hair is slightly disheveled, but you can see that it has been touched with water and groomed. The neckline is white and slender, and further down ...... It's an almost identical cow pajama top with smaller black spots.
Xingchen Qi pointed to himself, salesman-like for their own products: "This pajamas are good ah, and warm and fur and delicate. Just now I tested it, when sweating is very breathable, the quality is quite good. And ...... And it looks very cute, a lot of good reviews under the goods."
Ye Bai "hmm" sounded, "is quite cute, so you also bought?"
"I bought both of them together," Xingchen Qi's voice turned lower, "You wanted to wear a couple's shirt with me, didn't you?"
Ye Bai was stunned.
"I don't have your size and dare not buy blindly. Thinking that the pajamas are elastic, I bought the couple pajamas."
"...... Okay," Ye Bai's eyes softened, "I got it, wait for me."
Ye Bai gets up and leaves the camera. He returns a short time later, wearing the unbearably disgusting cow pajamas.
"Thanks for the couple's shirt," he laughed, "I like it, I really do."
The most difficult thing to do in love is to have a response to everything, and the most reassuring thing is to have a response to everything.
You said you wanted to video every day, I made time for you no matter how busy I was. I said I wanted to wear a couple's shirt with you, and you chose it and sent it to me.
Perhaps we get together less and less, perhaps busy up a day can only send a few messages, but I never feel that you are very far away.
Because you are always in my dreams and my heart at all times.
