Chapter 9 Fish in the Water

Yu Lu subconsciously felt that something happened to Xia Shishen recently, but she didn't catch any news.

She lowered her head and glanced at the latest Weibo, switched to the background of the phone with a swipe of her finger, clicked on WeChat, and typed on the screen with her fingers.

"Xia Shishen has too much news recently."

"There must be fraud."

Qi Yan looked down at the screen, put the phone into his pants pocket, rubbed his stiff shoulders twice, and leaned back under the car window.

In the past week, Qi Yan sent a total of four pieces of news, three of which were on the hot search list, and stayed in the top position for a full 21 hours.Qian Youwei is in high spirits whenever there are happy events, the corners of his mouth can't wait to grin up to his ears.Relying on Xia Shishen, Qi Yan got the year-end bonus in advance, and it was twice as much as originally agreed.

He took the money and went to the department store to buy a dark red massage chair. It was huge and the price was one-third higher than when he saw it, but Qi Yan still bought it.The merchant arranged for a car to deliver the massage chair to the door for free. Qi Yan was standing on the side of the road waiting for the bus. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the magazines on the shelf at the door of the bookstore.

The man on the cover was only wearing a loose suit jacket, with his head raised halfway, his jaw line became sharper, his thick black eyelashes drooped slightly, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed.

Qi Yan thought for a while, took out a book from the shelf, and waved at the people inside, "Boss, how much is this book?"

The plastic cover of the magazine was shining under the light, Qi Yan stretched out his hand and threw the magazine to the passenger seat, he didn't care about the contents of the magazine.He took advantage of Xia Shishen's popularity to make money, and spent a huge sum of more than 30 yuan to buy that magazine, which was regarded as atonement.

The door in the distance made a sound, Qi Yan came back to his senses, and focused on the camera again.Xia Shishen, who was wearing a sleeveless top, came out swayingly, with an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth, he raised his hand to touch the back of his neck, and walked towards the other side while pulling his flip-flops.

Qi Yan pressed the shutter a few times before putting down the camera. He leaned back on the seat and looked down at the photos from the past few days.

The first one was taken two and a half months ago. Xia Shishen was wearing a white T-shirt, sitting on the steps with his head up and smoking a cigarette.The next few photos are photos of Xia Shishen rushing to his schedule. His hair was combed meticulously, and he was standing on the stage in a docile suit.He smiles happily most of the time, only occasionally in a few snapshots, you can see his sharp eyebrows hidden in the shadows.

Qi Yan then flipped back, and more and more photos piled up in front of his eyes, some of him carrying a plastic bag to throw out the trash, some standing on the balcony with messy hair in a daze, and some squatting on the steps with a cigarette in their mouths. God.After a long time, Qi Yan couldn't help worrying for Xia Shishen, he felt that Xia Shishen was too idle, how could a top trafficker stay at home for months and months, how could he make money.

Turning to the last picture, someone knocked on the car window suddenly, Qi Yan was startled, and the camera in his hand fell on the seat without holding it firmly.

Most of the light in front of the window was blocked by the person who came, Qi Yan met the uncle in guard uniform outside the car, Qi Yan subconsciously hid the camera behind him.The man outside the car was a little impatient, and he knocked on the car glass twice more, making it much stronger than the last time.

Qi Yan rolled down the car window obediently. The smell of low-quality tobacco mixed with sweat made his breathing stop for a few seconds. He twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled kindly.

"What are you doing sneaking around here?" The uncle lifted the police cap on his head, squinted his eyes and looked at Qi Yan for a while, "I've been watching you for a while, and I always park the car here."

"You don't live here." The uncle glanced at the camera lens exposed behind Qi Yan, and then said, "Please provide your work ID card."

The smile on Qi Yan's face remained undiminished. He took out his ID card from his pocket and handed it over, saying in a soft voice that he forgot to bring his work ID card.

But the guard obviously didn't intend to let him go easily, Qi Yan watched the man turn sideways, and waved his hand to signal him to get off the car.

"I'm waiting for someone." Qi Yan locked the car secretly, with a calm tone, "If I get out of the car, he won't be able to find me."

The uncle guard took a big step when he heard the sound of locking the door, held the handle of the car, stared at him, and told him to get out of the car with a fierce tone.Qi Yan leaned back unconsciously, he felt that the man's saliva was about to spray on his face.Because of the man's loud voice, Qi Yan saw two lights in the villa on the left.

Qi Yan's palms were full of sweat, and the body of the camera hidden behind him was hot, and it might be running out of battery.

The light in front of him dimmed suddenly, Qi Yan raised his eyes, and put a hand on the half-opened car window, with slender knuckles and very short nails.

"He's waiting for me." Xia Shishen appeared out of nowhere, with his hands against the car window, blocking most of Qi Yan's sight with his body.

The guard didn't seem to believe it, so he asked a few more questions, and Xia Shishen answered fluently, and finally ended with the uncle stepping back three times.Xia Shishen didn't turn around until he was far away, and looked at him through the not-so-clean car window, with the corners of his mouth tightly pursed, and his dark eyelashes shrouded in the shadow of leaves.

Qi Yan rolled down the car window, and the glass creaked, which seemed abrupt in the quiet night.

Xia Shishen didn't speak for a long time, Qi Yan coughed twice, smiled and nodded.

"I didn't expect to meet you here." Qi Yan was sweating coldly under Xia Shishen's stare, and he added, "What a coincidence."

"Is it hot?" Xia Shishen said out of nowhere, Qi Yan froze for two seconds, then shook his head.

Xia Shishen suddenly reached out to him, his cold fingertips brushed his cheek, and touched his earlobe.

"You're sweating." There was some dampness on the smooth nails, Qi Yan raised his hand to pinch the earlobe, and belatedly realized that the base of the ear was hot.

Qi Yan didn't know why he got out of the car, and followed Xia Shishen to his door.

"Can a celebrity let someone go to his house?" Qi Yan asked.

"No." Xia Shishen entered the password without concealment.

Qi Yan was so choked that he didn't know how to answer, but in the next second, he was knocked out by the cold air from the air conditioner rushing towards his forehead, and he didn't think much about following Xia Shishen in.

The room was much smaller than he imagined, and Qi Yan stood by the door in an orderly manner, feeling that the star's residence was not as splendid as he had imagined.After Xia Shishen brought Qi Yan into the door, he seemed to have forgotten him. He took off his shoes indiscriminately, walked to the sofa with bare feet, and fell headfirst.

For the next 10 minutes, Xia Shishen buried his head in the sofa, only the ends of his raised hair were occasionally blown back and forth by the wind from the air conditioner.

Xia Shishen really kept his word, saying that inviting him to turn on the air conditioner was just turning on the air conditioner, and only let him stand at the door, never stepping into the living room.

"I'm very cool." Qi Yan was afraid of disturbing Xia Shi's deep sleep, so his voice was very low, and he held the doorknob while talking.He paused for a few seconds before turning around, nodding towards Xia Shishen on the sofa, "Thank you for the air conditioner."

The person who fell on the sofa moved his arms slightly, and sat up with his arms propped up. There were several red marks on his cheeks from the pressure of the sofa.

"Would you like something to drink?" Xia Shishen turned around when he walked to the refrigerator.

Qi Yan stood at the door and waved his hands, but Xia Shishen remained motionless, as if if he didn't order anything to drink, Xia Shishen could stand there like a fossil.Qi Yan paused for two seconds, then asked if there was any Coke.

Xia Shishen looked back at the refrigerator and shook his head.

"What about Sprite?"

"No." Xia Shishen answered quickly.

Qi Yan sighed, asked tentatively, and said, "Orange juice is also fine."

"No." Xia Shishen took out two bottles of soda water from the refrigerator, and raised his eyebrows at Qi Yan, "Only this."

There was some distance between the two, Xia Shishen raised his arm to shake the water in Qi Yan's hand, then threw his wrist forward forcefully, and the transparent plastic bottle drew a nearly perfect arc.Qi Yan was a little flustered, hurriedly took a few steps forward, and stretched out both hands to pick it up.

The cold body of the bottle made Qi Yan's fingers ache from the cold, he unscrewed the cap of the bottle under Xia Shi's gaze, and took a sip.

"You've been filming for several days, right?" Xia Shishen sat on the sofa, leaning forward with his arms on his knees.

"Is there anything to look at?"

Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, and gradually tightened his fingers pinching the body of the bottle. He thought about the photos he took recently, and nodded.

Xia Shishen seemed satisfied with this answer, he hung his head and dangled the half bottle of water in his hand, making Qi Yan feel guilty.

"Then I'll go first."

"I'll see you off." The person on the sofa stood up and walked towards him. Before Qi Yan could refuse, Xia Shishen had already walked in front of him with long legs.

Qi Yan was taken aback by the sudden closeness, his back was pressed against the door, his throat tightened.Qi Yan didn't dare to raise his head. He lowered his eyes and stared at the hem of Xia Shishen's clothes. The corner of the clothes at the side waist was tucked into the waist of his trousers, revealing a small piece of skin.Qi Yan felt that the person in front of him was too close, so he raised his head against the door and said with a smile: "No need to send it off, I can go by myself."

Xia Shishen pressed the door with his left hand, and his right hand hung between the two of them. Qi Yan felt that hand would be on his waist in a second.

"En." Xia Shishen held the doorknob with his right hand, wiped Qi Yan's clothes, and opened the door, "Then go slowly."

Humid hot air gushed out instantly, the cold wind in front of him and the hot air behind him surrounded Qi Yan, he took a few steps back with a bottle of soda water that was almost full.

The person by the door didn't seem to intend to go in. Xia Shishen pressed the door frame with his hand and stared at him intently.

"That." Qi Yan walked a few steps and then turned around. He looked at the person at the door, took a deep breath and said, "I think next time you should not call anyone over casually."

"Not very safe."

The spotlight at the door cast a shadow under Xia Shishen's feet. Xia Shishen didn't answer for a long time, but just looked at him quietly.

For some reason, Qi Yan felt as if there was a puddle of water in his heart. In just a few tens of seconds, a small fish suddenly appeared, jumping up and down in the water right in the middle of his heart.

Qi Yan suddenly felt embarrassed. He was about to speak when Xia Shishen, who was standing at the door, moved.

He leaned his head against the door, hummed hoarsely, and spoke again after a few seconds.

"it is good."

"understood."

When Qi Yan came home at night, he saw the utility bill pasted on the door, which was more than 100 more expensive than last month, but for the first time, he didn't think about the bill.

Qi Yan lay sideways on the bed, staring at the mottled white wall in front of him for a long time, because he felt that there were no fish in the water before.
