unrivaled gymnastics

"These days, the rivers and lakes are not easy to mix. If you don't have a backer to go out, you will be sacked."

In a restaurant near the snack street, Zhao Xiachi wiped out a wave of food in a storm, picked up a toothpick and picked his teeth leisurely.

After revealing his identity, he said that he had to find a place to sit down and have a good talk, so the three of them came to the restaurant.However, as soon as he sat down, he began to order food. He pretended that he was full enough to talk, and it turned out that he ate for a whole hour.Zhao Xiachi ate heartily, but Gu Xiaofei felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. His friend who had known him for so long suddenly became a member of a certain Jianghu organization. He was eager to know the truth, but Zhao Xiachi was not in a hurry, his patience was almost exhausted.

After finally waiting for him to eat and drink, Gu Xiaofei hurriedly asked: "Can you tell me? Who are you?"

"Don't be nervous. I'm Zhao Xiachi, your good roommate. I'm not some bad guy lurking around you to make troubles. Bai Xiaosheng is not the evil force in the world as you imagined. You can treat us as one..." Zhao Xiachi thought carefully The words are, "A news agency that specializes in reporting martial arts news!"

"It's the paparazzi who specialize in reporting gossip in the world." Xiao Xuechen dismissed it.

"It's too hurtful for you to say that. We are different from those Yuji paparazzi. We are paparazzi with professional ethics."

"...to admit it shamelessly."

Gu Xiaofei asked: "But aren't you a writer? When did you join Bai Xiaosheng?"

"I was still in college when I joined Bai Xiaosheng. You know, a college student works part-time to earn some pocket money. It costs a lot to have a girlfriend." Zhao Xiachi looked at the two of them, trying to make them find out from his words. resonance.

Gu Xiaofei shook his head: "I don't really understand, I haven't been to college."

Xiao Xuechen said: "I don't really understand, I have never had a girlfriend."

"It's enough for you to understand the general principle! You don't need to delve into the deep-seated reasons! I did a good job in Baixiaosheng at that time. Our leader said that if I intend to work in Baixiaosheng after graduation, I can sign a contract with me." A tripartite agreement. But at that time, I felt that the profession was not right for me, and I had no future as a reporter, so I stupidly refused. To this day, when I recall that period of time, I still have a trace of undetectable pain in my heart." Zhao Xiachi Pretentiously rubbing his eyes, as if his eyes often contain tears.

"and after?"

"Later, I went to take the civil service exam."

"..." Gu Xiaofei had a complicated expression, "It seems that he didn't pass the exam..."

"Yeah, so I joined a small private company, but within two years of working, the boss ran away with the money, and I became unemployed and homeless. In order to make a living, I had to find another way. I think I was also a person who shook a pen before, ah no , the one who hit the keyboard, so back to the old business—”

"Back to Bai Xiaosheng?" Gu Xiaofei asked.

"—I'm going to write online novels." Zhao Xiachi took a sip from his teacup.

"Your life is full of ups and downs, much more exciting than your novels." Gu Xiaofei said seriously.

"I don't know if you are praising me or scolding me."

"I'm praising you. So when I met you, you were an internet writer?"

When Gu Xiaofei moved into that old house, writers, painters and musicians had already lived there, and he was the last one to come.At that time, I only thought that the writer was an otaku who never left home, which was in line with Gu Xiaofei's stereotype of this profession, so he never questioned his identity as a writer.

"Then when did you become a member of Bai Xiaosheng?"

"Shortly after you moved out. I was living in the studio, and one day I got a sudden call..."

It was a rainy day, and Zhao Xiachi usually fell asleep in the morning because he practiced immortality until early in the morning.But that day, he was woken up by the ringing of his mobile phone before he arrived at the shop where he usually woke up.

The caller was from an unknown number.If it was a harassing call or an advertisement, Zhao Xiachi's phone would automatically prompt him based on the big data, but there was no prompt under that number.At that time, Zhao Xiachi had just moved into the studio and was not yet familiar with other people. He thought it was a call from an editor or artist, so he answered it in a daze.

"Xiao Zhao, I haven't contacted you for a long time, do you still remember me?"

If someone else said this sentence, Zhao Xia would have said "liar, get out" sooner or later, but that soft and clear voice was like a thunderbolt in a rainy day, knocking him from the dreamland back to the real world.

"Master... Master... Editor-in-Chief..."

This voice Zhao Xiachi will never forget for the rest of his life. It was his immediate boss when he was working part-time at Bai Xiaosheng. Bai Xiaosheng's internal personnel structure was similar to that of a newspaper, and the title of this boss was "Editor-in-Chief".

"Xiao Zhao, where are you going now?" the editor-in-chief asked pleasantly.

Zhao Xiachi didn't need to answer this question at all.Because the editor-in-chief already knew the answer.After he graduated late, he went through several rounds and changed his mobile phone number many times, but the editor-in-chief was still able to find him, which showed that Bai Xiaosheng knew his information like the back of his hand, and the editor-in-chief was just asking him out of politeness.

"Now I'm... writing some novels, scripts, etc..."

The dense rain curtain brought a piece of coolness between the sky and the earth, and at the same time brought a bone-chilling chill to Zhao Xiachi.

"It's good, now is the era of big IP, and your industry is very popular." The editor-in-chief said with a smile, "When you used to work part-time with us, I thought you were a good young man with a quick mind. And willing to endure hardships, it would be great if you could come to work after graduation, but unfortunately you have other ambitions. But that doesn’t mean we can’t cooperate, right Xiao Zhao?”

"Co-operation?" Zhao Xiachi didn't understand what he could do to get the editor-in-chief to open his mouth.He is just an ordinary writer, what does the editor-in-chief like in him?

He asked cautiously: "We Bai Xiaosheng, are we going to publish comics?"

"Hahahahaha, you are still so humorous after all these years."

Zhao Xiachi covered his face.Let you guess.If the editor-in-chief gets angry, tomorrow you will become an obituary the size of a tofu block in the newspaper, okay?

"I also ask the editor-in-chief to give me some advice!" Years of experience in the workplace told him that it is never wrong to honestly express one's stupidity in front of the boss, because this can bring out the wisdom of the boss.

"Do you have a TV with you? Turn on the local news channel."

There is a TV in the studio, but most of the time everyone uses it to play games.Now only Zhao Xiachi was there alone. He ran to the TV, turned on the TV tremblingly, and pressed the remote control for a long time before switching to the local news channel.

"From this station, the amateur group competition in East China of the Martial Arts Tournament has come to an end. A total of four contestants have successfully advanced to the regional preliminaries. They are..."

Zhao Xiachi opened his eyes wide.

The editor-in-chief on the phone asked with a smile: "Do you know this young man in the news?"

"Why is it him..." Zhao Xiachi couldn't believe it, "I always thought he was just a delivery guy, why... he is actually a martial arts master?"

"Since you know him so well, I'll ask you one thing."

The editor-in-chief used declarative sentences instead of interrogative sentences.Zhao Xiachi was incapable of refusing the editor-in-chief's request.

"Tell me everything you know about this young man. If I need anything else, you must ask me. Of course, the benefits are indispensable to you. When you worked part-time with us, you were shorter than you. salary?"

Under the coercion and lure of the editor-in-chief, Zhao Xiachi told the editor-in-chief everything about Gu Xiaofei since he and Gu Xiaofei met.But the editor-in-chief still felt that it was not enough.Bai Xiaosheng does not produce news, they are just collectors of news, many rivers and lakes news are never even made public, they just sleep silently on the editor-in-chief's hard drive.From the school of a certain martial arts knight to the underwear size of a certain Jianghu chivalrous woman, as long as the editor-in-chief wants to know, the reporters have to do everything possible to find out.

Now the chief editor is most curious about "the relationship between Gu Xiaofei and Xiao Xuechen".Many gossip trumpets rumored that they were secret lovers. After all, they lived together, but living together did not mean that they were lovers. The editor-in-chief needed evidence, preferably Gu Xiaofei or Xiao Xuechen personally admitted.

Zhao Xiachi didn't know Xiao Xuechen, but he knew Gu Xiaofei very well. The editor-in-chief gave him a travel fee, and relying on Bai Xiaosheng's strong connections, he snatched a room at the hotel where Gu Xiaofei was staying, and sent Zhao Xiachi over.

"That's why it's not easy for me! I planned to set up Xiao Fei's words, but I didn't get anything, and you saw through it."

Gu Xiaofei stared at Zhao Xiachi angrily: "I treat you as a friend, but you actually want to talk to me!"

"People are in the Jianghu, and they can't help themselves. If you offend me, I hope you will forgive me!" Zhao Xiachi clasped his fists.

"Hmph, but you can't get anything out of it. I am upright and I am not afraid of the shadow. Hero Xiao and I are good friends. I have already told you. You can reply to your editor-in-chief like this."

"Then you will be able to see my death on social news tomorrow."

"But what I said is the truth! What else do you editors want to hear? Could it be that the news he heard is different from what he expected, and he will be furious? But it is impossible for everything in the world to go according to his wishes. Can you change the facts with your thoughts?"

Zhao Xiachi touched his bare chin.Judging from what Gu Xiaofei said about him and Xiao Xuechen going to the amusement park together, the relationship between them is not just friends.He is now 90.00%... no, 90.00% sure, there is an ulterior py relationship between them.But why did Gu Xiaofei refuse to admit it?For face?For secrecy?Gu Xiaofei in his memory is not such a strict-tongued person...

He turned his gaze to Xiao Xuechen.The hero in white kept staring at the dessert in front of him, which Zhao Xiachi specially ordered for him, but he didn't take a bite.When Zhao Xiachi mentioned the relationship between him and Gu Xiaofei, Xiao Xuechen's cold expression obviously loosened...

"Okay, okay, you are good friends, I already know, I'll just reply to the editor-in-chief." Zhao Xiachi stood up.

"The editor-in-chief won't do anything to you, will he?"

"If he doesn't believe it, let him send someone else to inquire. Anyway, the result of inquiring is the same." Zhao Xiachi put on his backpack and shook Gu Xiaofei's hand, "Come on, I'll watch the game The editor-in-chief gave me several tickets, don’t read them for nothing! I have the right to travel at public expense!”

"...Is that why you came to watch my game?"

Zhao Xiachi encouraged him a few words, saying that he wanted to take a step first, and then walked away.Walking out of the hotel, he sent a message to the editor-in-chief.

"I've found out. It's Xiao Xuechen's unrequited love, so pitiful [funny]."

Gu Xiaofei sat on the spot for a while, and asked Xiao Xuechen: "Are you not angry? It's all my fault. You have already reminded me to be careful, but I still..."

"It's okay." Xiao Xuechen said.

"Why doesn't he believe that we are friends? If we are not friends, can we still be enemies?" Gu Xiaofei was puzzled.

Xiao Xuechen had a complicated expression, stopped talking, and turned to attack the dessert in front of him.

"Ah!" Gu Xiaofei exclaimed suddenly.

Xiao Xuechen was so frightened that he almost dropped the spoon. "What's wrong?"

The heart was beating loudly.Could it be that after Zhao Xiachi's hints that fueled the flames, Gu Xiaofei discovered his heart?Does he know that the person around him has always been interested in him, but he is always ruthless?

Gu Xiaofei turned to Xiao Xuechen, and said seriously: "Old Chi, he didn't pay the bill, he ordered a lot of dishes, damn it."
