    Chapter 86

    Until the end of the recording of the first season of the show, Chi Huang never took the initiative to say a word to Jian Yao again.

    The sense of closeness and distance that Jian Yao and his team want, Chi Huang can accurately grasp in front of the camera, and he can also talk and laugh with Jian Yao.But when the camera was moved away or turned off, Chi Huang only had a cold face towards Jian Yao.No matter whether the other party took the initiative to talk to him or tried to explain, he always showed a lack of interest.

    Jian Yao really couldn’t stand this kind of depression and torture, so he stayed outside at night after recording the show.

    The recording is over and the broadcast continues.As the show becomes more and more popular, Chi Huang is also known and liked by more people.Naturally, job offers are pouring in off-screen as well, including many valuable opportunities.

    When his agent contacted him, he always found various excuses to shirk. Sometimes he was tired, sometimes he was sick. When the International Motorcycle Road Race was scheduled for the end of July, he had even more reasons to refuse. He had to train for the competition.

    Manager Yu persuaded him several times that opportunities in this industry come and go quickly, and many people become famous but only short-lived.There are so many variety shows every year, but a small part of them are due to their operation and most of them are accidental.This is the luck of the show, and it is also his. The audience is very forgetful. What he should do most is to strike while the iron is hot and seize the opportunity to make his face a business card in the circle.

    After hearing this, Chi Huang did not comment and just said: “I already agreed with Mr. Zhu when I signed the contract. My development will focus on competition. Sister Yu, if you have any opinions, you can go and tell Mr. Zhu.”

    He didn’t know whether his agent had complained to Zhu Changyi, but when Jiang Chao contacted him to confirm the relevant training for the game, he was not very interested and excused himself by saying that he was currently busy with work.

    In the past, Jiang Chao could threaten and lure him together, forcing Chi Huang to train.Now that Chi Huang has become a celebrity, he doesn’t want to be too tough. He can only temporarily believe that Chi Huang will arrange training by himself.

    In fact, Chi Huang did nothing. After finishing the program, he squatted in the room and played games every day, from morning to night, or from night to morning. He would sleep when he was sleepy and order takeout when he was hungry.Running around and fighting in the virtual world, with ups and downs, turns the real life day and night upside down, without knowing how long it will take.

    He didn’t expect to receive a call from Jian Yao, who invited him out for a meeting.

    After the show ended, he left Jian Yao behind and didn’t know what else to say when they met now.But after hearing the other party’s request again, even with a slightly pleading tone, he agreed.

    When he drove out of the basement, he discovered a new green on the roadside, and the peach blossoms in the green belt were blooming even more beautifully. Spring had arrived before he knew it.

    The meeting place was the VIP suite of a five-star hotel.

    Jian Yao opened the door, but Chi Huang didn’t want to go in. This made Jian Yao explain with some embarrassment: “I just want to have a good talk with you. I have no other intention. It would be too conspicuous to make an appointment outside.”

    When Chi Huang entered the room, Jian Yao took a closer look at him and realized that he looked ugly and had lost weight.

    Thinking that Chi Huang might be suffering like him during this period, Jian Yao couldn’t help but feel a little emotional, even his breath was a little unsteady, and asked him: “Why do you think you are not in good condition? I heard from Manager Yu that you have not been working during this period.”

    Jian Yao used his connections to offer Chi Huang several olive branches, hoping to create some “accidental encounters” so that he could speak out what was in his heart.Unexpectedly, Chi Huang didn’t participate in any of the projects he helped match, so he had to take the initiative to contact and meet.

    Chi Huang looked around the living room of this suite. There were many signs of life, and he guessed that this was Jian Yao’s long-term residence.When his eyes fell on Jian Yao, he didn’t answer his question. He just said, “What do you want to talk to me about? Just tell me.”

    Jian Yao swallowed his saliva: “Xiaochi, I can meet all your material requirements. If you want to climb up, I will do my best to pave the way for you. My only request is not to be exposed, okay?” This was the first time he said this, and he didn’t want to be like this with Chi Huang. There was really nothing he could do.

    Chi Huang had not had enough sleep recently and his mind was groggy. Hearing Jian Yao’s words, he was even more confused for a while before he understood in the other person’s expectant eyes: “You mean you want to support me?”

    That’s almost what he meant, but Jian Yao still didn’t want to admit it: “I can’t give you the kind of feeling you want, so just think of it as my compensation.” He looked into Chi Huang’s eyes and said, “I really like you.”

    Chi Huang frowned slightly, scratched his shoulder-length hair, and said helplessly and indifferently: “It’s been so long since the show was recorded, and you’re still thinking about it. Forget it, I’m really not interested in you anymore.”

    After saying this, he watched Jian Yao stand up, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and finally his long eyebrows knitted into a ball, and he rushed towards him with red eyes.

    “Chi Huang, you… are you fucking kidding me?”

    Looking directly at Jian Yao’s angry and painful eyes, Chi Huang still said coldly: “I’m not playing with you. I was indeed interested in you at first, but later I found that you were different from what I thought and you were not interesting.”

    “What does it mean to be interesting?” Jian Yao grabbed his shoulders and yelled angrily, “Is it interesting to have your love affair exposed? Is it interesting to be scorned by the public? Is it interesting to be hidden, despised, begging grandpa to sue grandma, and not getting even a single announcement?

    “I went to South Korea to be a trainee when I was 10 years old, formed a group to debut when I was 16 years old, and returned to China to develop my career when I was 20 years old. I have been on this road for almost 20 years, and it took a lot of hardships to get to where I am today.Just because you said “it’s boring”, you want me to give up all this?Chi Huang, are you too naive, or do you have something wrong with your brain?”

    At first, he only thought Chi Huang was joking.Not to mention that he is now famous, even if Chi Huang wants to have a better development, he should not expose his relationship.Later, he found out that Chi Huang was serious, and he was a little at a loss.

    Exposure is impossible. Unless there is a pit in the brain, who will talk about a relationship and sacrifice a lifetime of development.But Chi Huang’s attitude towards feelings, or this kind of infatuated personality, is too rare in the world, let alone in this entertainment industry where fame and fortune come first.

    Knowing that the show is over, he and Chi Huang should be over it completely and should not interact again.But no matter how Jian Yao weighed the pros and cons, he always thought of him, and his anxiety and desire prevented him from deceiving himself.

    “I didn’t ask you to give up anything, I no longer want to be with you.”Chi Huang couldn’t help but yawned, and squeezed out a little moisture from the corners of his eyes. “I barely slept last night. I’m so sleepy now. Have you finished?”

    Jian Yao just looked at him for a long time until his red eyes were filled with mist.He lowered his hands, turned around and kicked over the coffee table in front of the sofa. He turned his back to Chi Huang and told him in a dumb voice to “get lost.”

    The car window was half open, and the still cool spring breeze blew on Chi Huang’s face, blowing away his sleepiness.

    As soon as he came out of the building, Jian Yao’s face became blurry.A certain feeling began to become clearer. Is his indifference to Jian Yao’s outpouring of emotions today the same as Chen Shilu’s feelings for him back then?

    It turned out that this was what Chen Shilu was thinking at the time. No wonder no matter how much he pestered and cheated, the other party remained indifferent and only felt disgusted.

    If he had known what Chen Shilu was thinking, he wouldn’t have trampled on his self-esteem in such a humble manner.

    But it’s hard to say, he is not a person who is good at pretending and controlling himself. He might just know that the other person will hate him and look down on him, but he will still beg him.Because things like self-esteem are of no importance to Chi Huang.

    I was thinking randomly as I drove into a commercial district.There are tall buildings on both sides, gorgeous luxury stores on the first floor, busy traffic and crowds of people, and the cars are moving at a snail’s pace.

    A violent cry of “I’ll fuck your father” brought Chi Huang’s thoughts back to reality.

    He looked up and saw two men pulling at him on the side of the road.The tall man repeatedly tried to pull the short man into his arms and control him. The short man was petite but extremely powerful. In addition to swearing and insulting, he also kicked and hit him with his hands and feet.

    The tall man didn’t fight back, and as if he had made some mistake, he finally knelt down in the street.

    The short man was not moved by this, but the height was right now, so he opened his bow from left to right and slapped the tall man multiple times.

    This move attracted frequent glances from passers-by. Chi Huang also found it interesting. The car was stuck on the side of the road and slid slowly, while he kept looking back to watch the show.

    The tall man’s cheeks were red and swollen, and he couldn’t bear the beating, so he simply stood up and restrained the short man again.After all, there is a physical difference, and the tall man can drag the short man away if he is determined to do so.

    The short man was picked up from the waist and yelled “help”. The tall man kept explaining that they were lovers and were just quarreling.Passers-by were hesitant. After all, it was two adult men who were pulling the strings. It didn’t look like they were involved in any illegal or criminal activities, so no one dared to step forward.

    However, Chi Huang pulled the car over, stuck his head out of the passenger window, and shouted to the short man: “Get in the car?””

    The short man was stunned.

    Chi Huang smiled at him: “Yes, I’m calling you.”

    The tall man was also stunned, and the short man took the opportunity to break free from his arm, rushed to Chi Huang’s car in a few steps, opened the door and got in the car in one go.

    The tall man was outside banging the car window, but the two people in the car were indifferent.After the car drove out of this congested commercial district, the short man finally calmed down and thanked Chi Huang.

    “Where are you going next, I’ll take you there?”

    The man who had been hot-tempered and extremely capable just now was completely exhausted. He was silent for a while and then said: “If you see a good place to park, just put me on the roadside.”

    Chi Huang asked: “Don’t you have somewhere to go?What about going home?”

    The man shook his head: “I don’t want to go back and see that bastard.” At this point, the rage rose again, “He eats my food and lives with me and steals people behind my back. I fucked his eighteenth generation of ancestors. He’s a piece of shit. I castrated him…” Noticing the look in Chi Huang’s endoscope, the man immediately stopped. He was so embarrassed that even a trace of scarlet color appeared on his face. “…I’m sorry, it’s so irritating.”

    Chi Huang just laughed: “It doesn’t matter, you scolded me very nicely and it was very relieving.After a while, he suggested, “How about we find a place to have a drink?”To be honest, I’m not in a good mood either.”

    The man looked at him in surprise, and his guard made him hesitate whether to go drinking with this man he met for the first time.

    Chi Huang didn’t care: “If you don’t want to go, I’ll drop you off at the intersection ahead.”

    The man nodded and sat quietly for a while, then suddenly rolled up his sleeves, then started rummaging up and down, with a look of urgency on his face.

    “What’s wrong?Upon seeing this, Chi Huang quickly parked the car on the side of the road, “What fell?””

    “My bracelet, which I have always worn, is gone.”As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves again. He only had a thin gold bracelet and a red rope on his left hand. There was no bracelet at all.

    Chi Huang asked: “Do you remember where you last saw the bracelet?”

    “I was still arguing with that bitch. He pulled my wrist and pinched me. It hurt a lot. I’m very sure…” He widened his eyes as he spoke, “The screw must have been loose and he threw it off during the fight. Please take me back to find it quickly.”

    Seeing that he was anxious, Chi Huang turned around and returned to the business district where the incident occurred as quickly as possible.After parking the car, he got out of the car and asked, “What kind of bracelet is it specifically? I’ll help you find it together.”

    Anxiety made the man speak quickly: “Medium-sized Cartier LOVE bracelet, platinum model. The screws were loosened once before. I didn’t pay much attention to it. I didn’t expect to lose it…” He was about to cry as he spoke.

    I searched all over the place and went to the shopping mall to ask the staff to broadcast announcements. I worked for a long time and found nothing.

    Seeing that the chance of him finding it was slim, and it had probably been picked up by someone, Chi Huang couldn’t help but tell him to forget it.

    The man’s delicate little face had completely lost the high spirits he had when he slapped the cheating man. His eyebrows drooped and he desperately said that the bracelet was a birthday gift he had just bought for himself. It was worth more than 50,000 yuan. If he couldn’t find it back, he would die.

    Of course Chi Huang knew that he was speaking out of anger. He just looked up and saw the Cartier store not far away.

    A few minutes later, a brand new bracelet was handed to the man: “Do you think it’s this one?”

    The man raised his head, the surprise in his eyes overshadowed the original despair.
