    Chapter 85

    The final performance of the first season is approaching, and even Chi Huang is caught up in the tense atmosphere and has stepped up his training.And because he and Jian Yao were in the same practice room, even though they had different instructors, they were inseparable day and night.

    During the break, Chi Huang looked around and saw Jian Yao also resting on the sidelines.He walked towards him, picked up a bottle of water on the way, and sat down next to Jian Yao. He tilted his body and naturally leaned his shoulder on the other person’s shoulder.After sitting down, he opened the water and drank his own. As usual, there was no need for the two of them to greet each other politely.

    But that day, Jian Yao pushed him gently, and Chi Huang looked sideways at him for no apparent reason. Jian Yao sat a little further away, and, suspiciously changing the subject, started asking him how he was preparing for the performance.

    Chi Huang followed his words and seemed to feel something in his heart, so he deliberately put his arm around him.Before putting his hand on Jian Yao’s shoulder, Jian Yao suddenly stood up, said he had a problem and asked the instructor, and left the rest area.

    Looking at Jian Yao’s deliberately dodging back, Chi Huang’s eyes darkened.

    Jian Yao seemed to have eyes behind his back, and Chi Huang immediately received the message from the other party: “Don’t be angry Xiaochi, I didn’t mean to alienate you. I will explain to you when I get back in the evening.”

    Back in the dormitory, Chi Huang ignored Jian Yao, not even having ordinary daily conversations.

    Jian Yao knew that he was still embarrassed about what happened during the day, and it was difficult to say anything behind the camera.It wasn’t until late at night when the camera was completely turned off that he looked at Chi Huang, who was sleeping with his back to him on the opposite bed, and said, “Xiao Chi?”

    When he told him not to respond, Jian Yao simply moved to the edge of his bed and pushed his shoulder: “Are you still angry? I told you not to alienate you, just listen to me…”

    “You don’t have to say anything, Sister Yu called me.”

    “Your manager also told you to keep your distance, right? That’s right. Going too far is never enough. If you leave too deep an impression on the audience, you won’t be able to break up with her after the show is over, which is not good for you or me.”

    Speaking of this, Jian Yao was also a little unhappy. The photo of him and Chi Huang together should have been leaked by the program team, although when his agent went to confront the director, the director did not admit it.

    That night, he and Chi Huang were chatting and walking outside. No one noticed that it was so late and there was someone secretly following them.Later, when he encountered Chi Huang’s cold hands, he put Chi Huang’s hand into his pocket. His hand was also in that pocket, and the two of them intertwined their fingers.

    He guessed that the program team must have taken a clearer photo, but the purpose of this program was not to expose the ambiguous relationship between the two guests. The deliberate release of such a thought-provoking photo was just for hype.

    This kind of hype is good for the program team, and it is also good for raising Chi Huang’s popularity in the early stage, but it is only bad for Jian Yao.His team reacted immediately. The manager went to the general manager to make a big fuss and insisted on quitting the recording.But Jian Yao himself still wanted to continue recording, so he only deleted the part where Chi Huang took him to look at the stars in the new episode of the show, and asked his team to review it before subsequent broadcasts before reaching a new consensus.

    The agent never had any room to comment on his personal feelings, but only reminded him not to damage his image. Even if he wanted to help Chi Huang increase his reputation, he couldn’t use this method.

    Jian Yao is three years older than Chi Huang, and has been a star for much longer. Overall, he is much more mature than him.Even though the big star is usually coaxed, privately, he is willing to let Chi Huang go.

    “Now that you know everything, don’t be angry, okay? I just have a gift I want to give you.”

    There is an ancient puppet show that wants Jian Yao to play the male lead, but his schedule doesn’t allow for it.He was relatively familiar with the director and management, and wanted to introduce Chi Huang to the audition, so he brought the script over.He thought that even if Akira Oichichi couldn’t get the job, based on his appearance and his relationship, he would be able to get one for a big or small role.

    Chi Huang didn’t even look at it. He sat up and brushed away the script: “I’m not angry, I just find it boring.”

    “What’s not interesting?”

    Jian Yao thought he was talking about the script. He was about to say that no matter what the script was, just get familiar with it first and there would always be a chance later, when he saw Chi Huang looking directly at his face and saying word by word: “I don’t think you are interesting.”

    “…”

    Jian Yao’s heart choked: “What is interesting?”

    Still looking into his eyes, he asked, “Do you like me?”

    One second, two seconds, three seconds… Chi Huang lay back on the bed and continued to turn his back to Jian Yao: “Go to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow.”

    Jian Yao sat beside his bed and remained silent for a long time before he said, “I like you, Chi Huang.”

    Chi Huang turned around and looked up at him.

    Jian Yao lowered his gaze and took this young and bold face into his eyes.He didn’t know either. After just a few months of getting along with him, at first he just thought Chi Huang was good-looking and had a fun personality. When he came to his senses, he had already silently taken root in his heart.

    He placed his palms on the soft pillow, surrounded the beautiful face in the middle, looked into his eyes, and couldn’t help but confess softly again: “I like you very much, really, I haven’t liked someone like this in a long time.” As he said that, he leaned closer and closed his eyes when he could feel his breath.

    Just when the other party was about to touch him, Chi Huang raised his chin, avoided the kiss, and said in a cold and arrogant tone: “Do you think this is enough?”

    The unexpected answer was even more unimaginable.In the past few years since he became famous, few people have spoken to him in this tone. Jian Yao is also a little impatient: “Then what do you want?”

    Chi Huang suddenly grabbed Jian Yao’s chin and turned his face to face the closed camera in the room: “Do you dare to say it to the camera? Say you like me.”

    Jian Yao was still digesting the meaning of these words, when Chi Huang answered for him: “You don’t dare. We have nothing yet, and you are afraid of me even approaching you.”

    After a while, Jian Yao spoke again, with a very uncertain and even frightened tone: “Do you want me to make my relationship public?” Seeing Chi Huang looking directly at him, he couldn’t believe it, “Are you crazy? What good will this do to you?”

    “Are you in love for the benefits?”

    “That’s not what I meant.” Jian Yao just took his words as angry and suppressed her fear, “Xiaochi, you should also know that in our industry, we can speculate on this topic, but there is only one word for coming out, and that is ‘death’. Your career has just got on the right track, do you want to destroy yourself? Your company will not agree.”

    Chi Huang looked at him stubbornly: “Why do I need the company’s approval for my own affairs? Do you think I am like you and listen to my agent on everything?”

    “I don’t listen to everything my agent says, but she’s right. Why should I go against her?”

    “You mean I deliberately went against my agent? I’m not that boring.”

    Seeing that the topic had gone too far, Jian Yao thought about it for a while, guessing whether Chi Huang was an amateur who suddenly became famous and tasted the benefits of hyping him up. Now that he doesn’t want to, he gets angry.

    “Xiaochi, you don’t have to rely on hype to become famous. I can introduce you to other resources. Don’t worry…”

    Before he could finish speaking, Chi Huang suddenly stood up, grabbed Jian Yao’s collar with both hands and grabbed him. He stared at his eyes from a very close distance for a while, and suddenly lowered his hands as if he was relieved of his strength: “Jian Yao, I don’t like you anymore.”

    These words really irritated him, Jian Yao frowned: “Chi Huang, what exactly do you want to do, can you tell me directly?”

    “I’ve been saying it bluntly.” Chi Huang was also a little resentful, “I want to fall in love openly, hold hands when I want to, and be intimate when I want to, no matter if there is a camera or not. I am very clingy and have high emotional needs. I can’t stand being pushed away by the person I like, and I can’t even pretend. Don’t you understand this?”

    Jian Yao understood, but he couldn’t believe it at all. He was stunned for a long time before he said: “Even if the price is to be hidden, the career is completely over?”

    “Yes. If you are not even willing to pay this price, do you dare to say that you really like it?”

    “…Can you be more mature?” Jian Yao was almost speechless. “This is a price that you don’t have to pay at all. Why should you pay it? How many people in the circle have already given birth to children and still claim to be single. It’s just fine if we are together in private. Why do we have to let the public know? Besides, this is a private matter and there is no need to tell others.”

    Chi Huang laughed: “Jian Yao, I’m not begging you, and you don’t need to tell me these truths. Stop talking and go to sleep.”

    “Xiaochi…”

    “Tell you to stop talking. If you keep listening, I will really hate you.”

    The author has something to say:

    Xiaochi’s beautiful mental state.
