[Honor of Kings] Bai Liang's Short Story Collection

Under the year, entertainment industry pa, fictional boy group (not infinite group)

One-sentence introduction: Took away by wolves.

In the afternoon, the cicadas blew, making people upset, tossing and turning, and finally got up.

When Zhuge Liang went downstairs, the other team members had disappeared.

He sat down and poured himself a glass of warm water, and asked a casual question. The living room was quiet. After waiting for a while, the little assistant emerged from the kitchen, walked over carefully with the cooked mung bean paste, and explained: " Brother Bai took everyone to play billiards."

They have been in a group for several months, and according to the requirements of the company, all their public itineraries are together.Even if it was a private entertainment, the manager advised them to communicate more and maintain their relationship, so as not to be caught by others at the beginning of their careers and hinder their future development.

At this time, a few people made an appointment to go out to play, leaving Zhuge Liang alone, no matter how they looked, they seemed to be crowding out.

The little assistant looked awkward, trying to speak tactfully, while observing Zhuge Liang's expression nervously.But Zhuge Liang just gave a soft "um" and took the mung bean paste.

The living room was still very quiet, and the little assistant couldn't help but follow his movements without waiting for the next sentence.

The young man's hands were as beautiful as his face, which was sought after by fans. His white and slender fingers rested on the bottom of the bowl, and his knuckles were slightly bent. The outline was well defined and perfect.

He scooped up a spoonful and brought it to his lips, his expression remained calm, as if the waves were calm.

"Well, it's a little sweet." He raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly, as if asking, is it okay?

The little assistant breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed not angry.He recalled how he got along with each other in recent days. Zhuge Liang looked cold and unapproachable, but he managed his emotions very well, so naturally he would not anger his assistant over such a trivial matter.

Seeing him sitting there drinking sugar water from a porcelain bowl, his thick eyelashes drooping, and his peaceful appearance, he seemed a little lonely, and the little assistant felt a little sympathetic in his heart.

They did so obviously, even if Zhuge Liang is not angry, he will always feel sad, right?

"I just added two pieces of rock sugar, bro," the little assistant hurriedly said in order to ease the atmosphere, "Don't worry, it's all in accordance with the dietitian's recipe, and I guarantee it won't exceed the standard."

"Thank you." Zhuge Liang nodded to him, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his smile melted into the gentle tone, becoming blurred, like the moonlight in a lotus pond, beautiful and soft.

With this good looks and temperament, it's no wonder that he can fascinate a group of girls, but he would also be dizzy.

The little assistant sighed secretly, looking at his little idol, his expression became even more tangled.

As Zhuge Liang's assistant, of course he knew it wasn't because Zhuge Liang was a maverick and couldn't get along with others.

If I have to say, there is only one person who is not very good with him.To describe it further, it is subtle.

It seems that because of the principle of "one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers", in the entertainment circle, fame and resources are all competed for.

Since the debut of the TOS group, besides Zhuge Liang, Li Bai has attracted the most attention.Not only are there rumors in the market, but the relationship between the two is not harmonious, and the fans of the two families are in conflict. From the real master to the fans, there is quite a bit of a tit-for-tat gunpowder.

Rumors spread enthusiastically outside, but inside the company, there were also different opinions.

All the contradictions go back half a year.

At the beginning, Zhuge Liang was the agent who was most optimistic about it. Various procedures have been reported to the company, and they are gradually arranged and started to build momentum.

Who would have thought that on the eve of the formation of the group, the senior management would suddenly recommend a "potential newcomer" to them, and without waiting for a break-in, they would be directly inserted into the TOS, leaving them no time to prepare.

This person's identity is not ordinary, it is said that he is the son of the big boss, the prince of the group.

Who dares to provoke?

On the first day of Li Bai's arrival, facing a group of people who were watching vigilantly but also vaguely hostile, he still calmly smiled and introduced himself to everyone.

Between the boundaries of teenagers and youths, the deep eyebrows have a bit of mixed-race color, and the tall and straight figure is slender and full of explosive power. It is simply the protagonist who is born to stand in the spotlight.

But no matter what Li Bai's conditions are, in the eyes of everyone, this is an airborne, plus a hand-picked C debut.Anyone who is robbed of the limelight will not be reconciled, not to mention, in terms of appearance and strength, Zhuge Liang is not inferior to anyone.

They were not sure what the parties were thinking—Zhuge Liang hid his feelings very well and didn't show them at all.But of course the fans were not happy, and vowed to seek justice for their fate and expose the "insider story".

One side attacks, and the other side naturally counterattacks. The back and forth conflicts continue to escalate.

The little assistant sighed again.

Zhuge Liang's personality is not sharp, he does everything rationally and restrained, the little assistant tried to figure it out from his point of view - that's right, everything in the entertainment industry puts profit first, no matter how much resentment he has in his heart, at the beginning of the formation of the group, he and the team The middle C position is tearing the face, the impact is too bad, it is definitely the most uneconomical way.

As for Li Bai, he is almost the other extreme, smiling and carefree all day long, as enthusiastic as the sun, it is hard to hate him.

He was indeed very cunning, and soon after he came, he mingled with a group of young people in the dance studio, shoulder to shoulder, but he kept a deliberate distance from Zhuge Liang.

——Do you know that your appearance is blocking the way of others, so you consciously don't want to be annoying, or do you also regard the other party as a competitor and isolate you deliberately?

The little assistant couldn't see through it, and he had asked the agent on the sidelines before, and the latter also looked unpredictable, and returned him a look: don't meddle in your own business.

How can we manage their affairs?

The little assistant thought it made sense, so he had to sweat for Zhuge Liang in his heart.

Yes, no matter what, the company will definitely support what Li Bai wants to do.If his elder brother completely annoyed the prince, what would happen...

Maybe it won't be too miserable, but the road of the entertainment industry will definitely not go on.

Before he knew it, the little assistant looked at Zhuge Liang with loving care.

The person involved didn't seem to notice it. After drinking the sugar water to relieve heat, he licked his lips slightly. The effect of the sweets was very obvious, and his mood of depression due to the afternoon nap became clearer.

"It would be better if it was sweeter." He thought so, and turned his gaze to the little assistant. Although he didn't say anything, his expectations were clearly written in his beautiful and clear eyes.

The latter could only bite the bullet and refuse: "No way, brother, too much sugar, body shape management is very important!"

So Zhuge Liang was silent.

He lowered his head, and played with the porcelain bowl in his hand. The white porcelain surface was printed with exquisite patterns, matching those beautiful hands. The fine powder fingertips were a little sensual, forming a perfect landscape, pleasing to the eye. .

The little assistant thought he was sulking, so he kept his mouth shut obediently, sitting by the side and fiddling with his notebook, not daring to say anything.However, in fact, Zhuge Liang didn't care as much as he thought.

He has the habit of taking a nap, and he is not keen on outdoor sports. Everyone knows that he is not a kindergarten child anymore, and he has to go out and go in the same way when going to the toilet.

For a while, the living room was quiet, only the knocking sound of the laptop keys.The afternoon is the hottest and boring time of the day, and the sun shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows makes people feel lazy.

The little assistant didn't settle down for a long time, so he turned to look for the remote control of the air conditioner.Zhuge Liang sorted out the newly written score and looked around.

Quiet also has quiet benefits.

Usually five or six young people are crowded in the living room, which is too noisy.If he hides in the room, he's the one who doesn't fit in.

Now...he just happened to go to the piano room.

Just as Zhuge Liang stood up holding the score, the assistant over there remembered something and called back, reminding him that there is an event tonight, don't forget to set aside time to prepare.

Later, the agent will send their clothes.

Zhuge Liang had been notified by them a few days ago, and he nodded to show that he knew, but was grabbed by the corner of his clothes by the little assistant who came over.

"Brother..." He frowned, struggling for a long time, and seemed to finally muster up the courage to decide to speak out—but his head was lowered, and his voice was very low.

"This time, just the two of you..." the assistant stammered.

Zhuge Liang sniffed out something from his unusual reaction. When he stopped, two people?He and Li Bai?

"why?"

The little assistant showed a look of embarrassment, with sweat on his forehead, and danced and explained a lot, first of all, what investors like, and what the data speaks, and the others are not up to the standard...

But to put it simply, the company regards them as signs, while the other members don't have enough fans, are not popular, and are not taken seriously.

To socialize with investors, of course, they must show their best products.

Zhuge Liang understood it, but he lacked experience and didn't realize the other meaning.

How did the popularity of idols come from?The most basic and most important condition, of course, is the face.Fans love their faces, and so do others.

If powerful people like it, there will naturally be people who like it.

In this circle, it is not new to pay any price for resources and future.

The little assistant was anxious, and said in a low voice, "Brother, you must be careful tonight..."

Zhuge Liang looked back at him, thoughtful.

……

Li Bai came back at a time when the makeup artist had already put on Zhuge Liang's makeup.

He turned his head following the voice, raised his eyes, the pink on his cheeks blended with the blush at the end of his eyes, it was so shocking that it made your heart beat.

Li Bai's gaze stayed on that face for less than two seconds before turning away.

Of course he already knew that his teammates were good-looking, and the more he saw them on weekdays, the less shock he felt.what now...

If it's a stage makeup, it's fine, it's just a business dinner tonight, isn't it a bit too grand?

Li Bai became suspicious, but he still kept his composure and glanced at the agent, who smiled at them with his lips pulled, which was quite flattering.

The costumer looked around the two of them, and took out a black set and a white set, saying that they looked good, the combination of movement and stillness, and the classic collocation fit their temperament.

Zhuge Liang felt that Li Bai was looking at him, but when he turned around, the other party moved away first, but his raised hand naturally fell on Zhuge Liang's shoulder, and he patted him twice.

"Isn't it like black and white are impermanent?" Li Bai looked at the clothes he got and said something half-joking, which made everyone laugh.

As he spoke, he looked at Zhuge Liang—this time he looked at it openly.

Maybe it was a delusion, Zhuge Liang felt that his eyes were a bit strange, which made people uncomfortable, coughed lightly, and asked: "Li Bai, which one do you choose?"

"Brother Bai must wear white, of course..."

"No, no, black seems to be more suitable." Several assistants in the team seemed to have different opinions, and you said it one by one.

"I can do it," Li Bai put on his usual standard business attitude again, the corners of his lips curled into a smile that was not a smile, and he raised one eyebrow at Zhuge Liang, but his voice seemed very cute, "I'll listen to brother."

Everyone in the circle likes to call people brother and sister, most of which is a habit passed down from Japan and South Korea-the country doesn't care so much about seniority.

They are all big boys of the same age, laughing and laughing on weekdays, and the younger ones call "Bai Ge" every time. Even if they are older, they call it very naturally.

But when it was Zhuge Liang's turn, he was not so eccentric, so he couldn't say anything to the boy who was two years younger than him, and he was afraid that he would be sensitive, so he tried to avoid addressing him.

Li Bai, on the other hand, always called him "brother" naturally.It looks very polite, but it seems that it is not so serious, but with a slightly teasing tone.

At this time, Li Bai was half-bent, with one hand on his shoulder, while looking at the makeup mirror on the opposite side of the table, the silver chain was dangling from his chest.

Zhuge Liang's eyes were shaken, and his mind was slightly distracted.

Li Bai's hairstyle is very casual. Every time he attends an event, he must use mousse to style it, so as to subdue those unruly hair.

When Zhuge Liang raised his head, he could see the dark brown hair floating in front of his eyes, and finally pushed him away.

"Then you can wear black." He took the hangers from the dressmaker and threw one of them to Li Bai.

Li Bai caught it and tilted his head slightly: "Huh?"

Zhuge Liang didn't think much about it, but just found an excuse to pick it at random, so he said, "It's very cool, it just matches your necklace."

Then he watched the corners of Li Bai's lips rise, and replied confidently: "Yes, I think so too."

Before departure, the manager told her for a long time that tonight was not a simple dinner, there were many big names who cooperated with the company... something like that.

The commercial vehicle is very spacious. He looked at Li Bai sitting at one end, and then at Zhuge Liang at the other side. The two of them sat some distance apart and didn't talk much. At least in public, it is still very interesting.

The manager looked away, very satisfied.

These are the best and most potential trump cards in his hand.

The costume designer has a good vision, one black and one white, cold and soft impact, it really suits them.

Zhuge Liang's usually indifferent appearance, matched with a white suit, the original cool tone is suddenly covered by bright, like a shining little prince walking out of the galaxy.

Looking at Li Bai again, the rich colors restrain his extroverted side, a pair of green eyes quietly staring out of the window, like a hunter hiding in the dark night, which is not out of harmony.

"Perform well." The manager encouraged.

If he is more careful, he will find that what Li Bai is looking at is not the scenery outside the window, but the faint reflection on the window glass.

It's not that Zhuge Liang didn't notice it. When Li Bai came back in the evening, his straightforward eyes had never been deliberately hidden, which made him feel more and more uncomfortable.

Every time he turned his head and wanted to ask Li Bai clearly, the other party turned his head vigilantly, pretending that nothing happened, impeccable.

……

When being led by the agent to toast the investors, Zhuge Liang's feeling of uneasiness suddenly became stronger. Thinking of the little assistant's reminder, Li Bai looked at him again in his mind.

He brought his thoughts back to reality, and when he met the gaze of the man in front of him, his heart trembled slightly, confirming his guess.

Those eyes were weirder than Li Bai's, and there was excitement and excitement hidden in the scorching eyes, as if he was looking at a... commodity.

That signifies danger.

He doesn't like to drink, but it's not like he can't drink.

There is no way out at this point.

One by one, Zhuge Liang held the glass tightly, and his eyes began to feel dizzy.

He finally found a chance to leave the box, and as soon as he entered the bathroom, he immediately turned on the faucet, took some cold water with his hand, and hit it on his cheek, trying to wake himself up.

He buried his face in the palm of his hand and relieved for a while, but the discomfort did not ease. When he straightened up, he suddenly fainted, and the things in his field of vision and in the mirror began to spin around.

His heart was beating fast, and in a sudden panic, he wanted to grab something, but his body slumped against the wall uncontrollably and slipped backwards.

Before it was completely dark, he seemed to have bumped into someone's arms, and the manager's voice came from the door...

He still took it lightly, he didn't expect them to be so blatant.

Zhuge Liang woke up suddenly.

He raised his eyelids with difficulty, but the place he saw was still quiet and dark.He felt the sensation of his body, which was almost the same as before the coma, his limbs were limp, and he couldn't use much strength.

With the help of the weak bedside wall lamp, Zhuge Liang lowered his eyelids and looked at his hands, still wearing that white suit.

He breathed a sigh of relief, so at least nothing happened.

Turning his gaze, Zhuge Liang realized that he was not alone in the hotel room.

The two beds in the standard room were very close to each other, at most an arm's length away, and Li Bai was sitting there, already dressed in black, and the light had been adjusted to the lowest brightness, almost completely blending into the background.

He rested his elbows on his legs, crossed his hands between his legs, and leaned forward with his upper body, just staring at him quietly—more like, staring at him specifically.

Because of the effect of alcohol, Zhuge Liang still had some headaches, but this did not affect the functioning of his brain.

It was nothing more than someone who fell in love with him and negotiated terms with the company, so their gold broker turned into a pimp, ready to send him to bed.

As for Li Bai, he has a backer, and people in the circle know more or less about it, so of course they dare not take his idea.

So, now... what's going on?

Li Bai saved him?

Zhuge Liang hesitated, rubbed the center of his eyebrows with one hand, and sat up from the bed with the other hand, but before he sat up straight, Li Bai held his elbows and pressed them against the head of the bed unquestionably.

"You don't need to say thank you." When he spoke, he was still in his usual lazy and smiling tone, but he was a little lower than usual, which was in line with his cool brother's attire tonight.

Zhuge Liang looked at him with slightly puzzled eyes: But, he is not someone who likes to pretend to be cool...

As Li Bai leaned forward and approached, most of the orange wall lamp was blocked by him, and the light became increasingly dim.

Zhuge Liang suddenly read the feeling of deja vu in those green eyes, and he was startled, but the effect of the medicine had not passed, he could hardly move, and he had no room to dodge.

"Brother, you also know that capitalists never do business that loses money. Tonight's cooperation has failed... There must be some people who are unhappy, and many people need to pay more." Li Bai spoke slowly, with a smile on his face .

The "Brother" was not as sweet as usual, it was pronounced from the tip of his tongue with an indescribable ambiguity.

Zhuge Liang grasped the bed sheet tightly, watched him bend his knees to press onto the bed, bent over and leaned over, the alarm bell was ringing in his mind, and he instinctively closed his eyes.

The beautiful blue eyes were blocked, Li Bai paused, and regretfully, he kissed the tip of the trembling eyelashes.

Even if Zhuge Liang couldn't see it, he could still feel the oppressive breath in his breath.It turned out that they had been mistaken all along and took him for a harmless big golden retriever, but it was clearly a ruthless wolf, with dark green eyes fixed on its prey and would not let go.

"So, I'm not here to be a hero to save the beauty, I'm here to cut off the beard."
