soul collector

"This way, gentlemen, please." The waiter smiled sweetly, seated Tang Xiu and Jiang Qiao, then handed over two menus, and said softly, "Yusheng rice is our specialty, and today's special is red tuna And sweet shrimp."

Tang Xiu nodded slightly, "Thank you."

Jiang Qiao didn't look at the menu. The waiter poured tea for the two of them, and he picked it up and drank it three times within ten seconds.

The thoughtful waiter smiled at him, "How can I help you?"

"No." Jiang Qiao shook his head, "Let him order."

"Okay, you can ring the bell after you two have decided."

It wasn't until the waiter left the private room that Tang Xiu glanced up at Jiang Qiao from the menu, and asked in a cold voice, "What do you want to eat?"

Jiang Qiao coughed, trying to force a smile on his face, "I'm treating you, you can order whatever you want, don't save me money."

"Oh." Tang Xiu turned his gaze back to the menu again, "Don't worry, I won't."

Tang Xiu carefully looked at the menu for 10 minutes, then rang the bell to order.Jiang Qiao sat on the opposite side drinking water in a somewhat reserved manner, thinking silently about the destruction of money and disasters, but Tang Xiu didn't expect him to be cruel. Instead, he ordered a bowl of noodles himself, but he ordered a lot of sushi and sashimi for him.

After the waiter left, Jiang Qiao finally mustered up his courage, "Why do you eat so little?"

"I'm hungry. I saw that you liked the sashimi in the bento before. I didn't order anything wrong for you, did I?"

A little flower blossomed in Jiang Qiao's anxious heart, "You care about me."

Tang Xiu glanced at him, "You sit next to me to eat every day."

Jiang Qiao was still beautiful in his heart, but his expression was slightly restrained, "Well, I like to eat."

Tang Xiu stopped talking, and the atmosphere of silence was maintained until the waiter put all the dishes on the table. Jiang Qiao saw Tang Xiu quietly eating the noodles with his head down, and couldn't help but asked, "Aren't you angry?"

Tang Xiu glanced at him and smiled lightly, "Not angry."

"why?"

Tang Xiu thought for a while, "I don't know either. I felt very angry at the time, but it soon disappeared." He sighed as he spoke, and looked helplessly at the unscrupulous director opposite, "Maybe you I'm already immune to indecency, and maybe you were born to be my nemesis.

Jiang Qiao became more emotional when he heard the words, "Ah, the birth nemesis was mentioned in another blog of that blogger just now. Such keywords imply that you actually like me too."

Tang Xiu, "...shut up."

On the way back, both of them hurried forward with their masks on and bowed their heads. It was already dark and there was no one around. Jiang Qiao looked at Tang Xiu's nodding profile, and suddenly couldn't help reaching out to hold his hand.

The old ancestor paused for a moment, didn't move away, and only said in a low voice: "Yesterday you promised Li Ziping that you would be careful. Shen Simo just had an accident today, and there are probably paparazzi around who are squatting on the news."

Jiang Qiao hummed, it was cool in early autumn and late at night, but his heart was warm like a bag of roasted chestnuts sprinkled with sugar, and he said in a low voice, "I know, I am..." Swallowing the word back, sighed and let go.

In fact, the old ancestor said the wrong thing at the dinner table, he himself is the nemesis in the other party's life.From the first side, people are stuck step by step and cannot extricate themselves.

Will care about a person's every move, care about his food, clothing, housing, transportation, acting distracted and not willing to scold, sincerely appreciate and be proud of how well he does it, and even toss and turn every night because of him, and go to the girl's blog to read that kind of childish love book...

Liking someone to such an extent, Jiang Qiao sighed in his heart, I really opened my eyes.

Tang Xiu heard Jiang Qiao sighing in a low voice from time to time, knowing that he was still thinking about the relationship between the two.He walked back in silence until he reached the door of each other's dormitories, and then suddenly stopped Jiang Qiao who was taking out his keys.

"director."

"Ok?"

Tang Xiu looked at him, there was no fluctuation in his pitch-black eyes, and there was still the calm that belonged to Tang Xiu.

"I quite like you."

The surrounding air seemed to be quiet for a few seconds, and Jiang Qiao's eyes brightened instantly. He was about to speak, but Tang Xiu continued, "But, we can't be together."

"Why!?" Jiang Qiao realized that his voice was raised, looked around and lowered his voice, and said eagerly: "Since you like me too, why don't you try to give each other a chance? We will definitely get along very comfortably, even if there is Where there is a contradiction, I will let you..."

"No." Tang Xiu's voice sounded a little tired, but more powerless, "I have walked for thousands of years, my life and personality are extremely simple, and I am not afraid of running into you. We can't be together because you are mortal, I am a practitioner."

"Are you despising me?" Jiang Qiao looked at him fixedly, with a hurt expression on his face.

Tang Xiu slowly shook his head, "You only have a lifespan of a hundred years, but I have to live forever. Unless I collect the last wisp of uncollected soul, I am not willing to sleep forever in this life. Ten years——for you, that is eternal love, but for me, it is more like exchanging all my heart for the pleasure of a small time in a long life...too cruel."

"I used to think that the uncollected soul was the relationship between you and me, but now there are signs that it may not be so. I..."

Tang Xiu didn't finish. For the first time in his life, he felt that he was timid to express his decision.There was silence in the corridor. Jiang Qiao looked into his eyes for a long time, and then he smiled softly, "It's okay, I can wait for you. Let's see if the uncollected soul is you or me. If not , I will search with you, when we find it, we will be together."

Tang Xiu smiled wryly, "What if you are old when you find it? If you have not found it, you are already dead..."

"Then let me grow old and die." Jiang Qiao said firmly, "Maybe people are fickle. But at least at this moment I decided to wait. This is my choice, you have to respect it."

Tang Xiu looked at the pair of eyes opposite him, usually joking or prudish, but at this moment they were full of sincerity.He has personally seen all kinds of good couples in the world, so he naturally knows how open and sincere a relationship is.

After a long time, Tang Xiu walked over and climbed onto Jiang Qiao's shoulder, raised his head slightly, and pressed lightly on his lips.

"Rest early, good night."

Jiang Qiao's Adam's apple twitched, and he looked at him, "Good night."

……

Tang Xiu had just woken up early the next morning when he was told that he was on the trending list again.

To be precise, he got rid of Shen Simo, the culprit, and made a hot search by himself, with the hashtag #唐修招谢谢谈#.

Tang Xiu checked Weibo while eating breakfast. The origin of the trending search was a Weibo big V's sudden emotion in the middle of the night yesterday.This person put together and sent out a few photos of yesterday's reporters talking about him and Shen Simo fighting together, with the text - [Which eye saw Tang Xiu beating the reporter?In picture [-] and picture [-], he is checking the reporter's injuries; in picture [-] and picture [-], he is holding Shen Simo with a frame, and anyone who has learned how to do it twice can see that he wants to hold him down, not hit him; picture [-] is him restraining Shen Simo then persuaded... There must be a lower limit for people in the media to make up nonsense nowadays, even black artists, for more traffic to become popular and bundled black? 】

This person is Mr. Zhao, Tang Xiu casually clicked in and took a look, he turned out to be a cartoonist who has nothing to do with the circle, but he has hundreds of thousands of followers, so he should be regarded as a leader in the industry.

There were no harsh voices in the comment section of Mr. Zhao's Weibo, almost half were satirizing the media, and some were complaining for Tang Xiu.The first popular comment is an active fan of Tang Xiu, who counted the incidents of Tang Xiu being hacked inexplicably in those years, from picking earrings to being hacked by the director several times, to yesterday's dragging and being hacked, using words Very humorous, was praised to the top.

This fan didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he put a tag in front of the words "Who did Tang Xiu provoke?", clicked on it, and it became a hot topic this morning.The topic was full of netizens' reviews of Tang Xiu's various accidents being hacked, as well as check-in and gossip from a large number of fans.

Tang Xiuxiu saw a person saying, "A positive energy artist who was named and praised by CCTV was hacked by the wild media into a gang fight, and the passers-by were also drunk." Li Ziping just came in on the phone, um, ah, ah, talking, It sounds like you are dealing with the company's public relations department.He sat down next to Tang Xiu, and Tang Xiu waited for him to hang up the phone before asking: "Is the company running the hot search?"

Li Ziping nodded and shook his head again, "Mr. Zhao took the initiative to post the blog, and the hot comment that brought up the hot topic was also spontaneously posted by fans. You have the right idea. Netizens spontaneously brought up a hot topic. It's just big."

Tang Xiu grunted, "Actually, it doesn't matter if it's black or not, I'm used to it. But it's good like this..." He scrolled down the trending search list while talking, and the topic with Shen Simo's name had dropped to ten. In addition to his name, W's public relations have a good rhythm. Starting from his incident, the top five most searched are all about media ethics.

Li Ziping saw him staring at Shen Simo's hot topic, and couldn't help but said: "Don't tell me that Shen Simo was saved by accident, that's why you are really happy..."

Tang Xiu put away the phone calmly, "Well, it's indeed a good thing. He should be in trouble, so it's great if he can help."

Li Ziping's face was wrinkled like a spoonful of soy sauce when he heard the words. It took a long time before he could speak, and sighed: "You are such an ancestor, such a living ancestor, why didn't I foresee you when I signed the contract before?" It's so..."

"You're so passionate and righteous, and you're still a film star seedling?" Jiang Qiao stepped in from the door, and gave Li Ziping a warning look. Li Ziping fell silent for a moment.

Jiang Qiao turned to Tang Xiu and said with a smile: "Shen Simo has asked for leave, he has to go to the newly signed agency in the afternoon, so his scene is scheduled to be filmed in the morning, so don't rush to put on makeup for a while. "He said, looking at the half-eaten breakfast on the table, and couldn't help telling, "Eat more, Xiaobai's emotions exploded today, and he can't perform well when he's hungry."

Tang Xiu just nodded, "Yes."

Jiang Qiao turned around and looked at the constipated Li Ziping, "By the way, I heard that you are going to apply for Tang Xiu's "Ten Thousand Juan Book" from CCTV?"

Li Ziping hesitated for half a second, "Yes... Director, don't worry, the review period of CCTV is usually relatively long, and "Zhan Fox Terrace" will be finished by then, Tang Xiu will not devote his energy to other things before it is finished..."

Jiang Qiao waved his hand before he finished speaking, "You're overthinking. I heard that the application materials for that program require recommenders."

Li Ziping was stunned for two seconds, and suddenly his expression became a little excited, "You can't be..."

Jiang Qiao hummed, "I can be one of the two recommenders. For the remaining one, it's best to find an influential cultural leader... I know a few college professors, and I can help find them later. You help him Get the other materials ready."

Li Ziping was so excited that his lips trembled when he heard the words, he was speechless for a long time, and after a while he said: "They all said that director Jiang is the most annoying that actors have other thoughts besides acting. It's a misinformation, you It's just..."

"Stop flattering me." Jiang Qiao glanced at him coldly, "Thank you so much, don't speak ill of me to Tang Xiu."

Li Ziping, "..."

Jiang Qiao turned around and smiled at Tang Xiu again, "Let's go."

Tang Xiu hummed.

Li Ziping groped for a long time, but there was no one else in the room, so he simply asked, "So you and Director Jiang..."

"Not together." Tang Xiu raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "I will tell you when we are together."

"Oh..." Li Ziping looked at his artist meaningfully, and suddenly felt that the relationship between these two people was really different from what he imagined.The two big men are really serious about developing something indescribable.

He couldn't help nagging, "No matter how serious you are, you must be careful to hide it. The higher ups will definitely block this kind of homosexuality to the end."

"I know." Tang Xiu said, "Don't tell the company yet, and we're not together, so just pretend you don't know."

Li Ziping's eyes were complicated, and he felt that he was really raising his own son.

During lunch, Shen Simo came over to say hello to Jiang Qiao and left. Tang Xiu saw that he had changed into a more casual outfit than the previous few days. He also changed into a pair of sneakers.The mask is pulled down, and the head is lowered when walking, it is really hard to see that it is a star.

Are you going to a new agency?

Tang Xiu took out his mobile phone from his pocket and sent a message to Li Ziping, "Help me out."

"What are you busy with?"

"Shen Simo has gone out, help me keep an eye on where he is going."

"...Ancestor, I am an agent, not your private detective."

"Thank you."

"..."

The shots in the afternoon were very tight. In order to get back the progress lost yesterday, they didn't even have a lunch break. After dinner, the whole crew started working directly. The filming of "Fox Killing Terrace" is coming to an end. Tang Xiu's last shots are scenes with strong emotions. Jiang Qiao has to shoot each scene many times in order to find an angle. It is really torture for the actors.

The ancestor felt that the career he chose in this life was very mysterious. With his old bones, there were so many dramatic emotional changes, but he still had to show tension in front of the camera, which was a bit of a challenge.

When he finally made it past [-]:[-] p.m., when the scene at hand was filmed, Jiang Qiao went to let go of his voice and yelled at others before going to the dressing room to get his cell phone.

This guy Li Ziping followed him all afternoon and sent at least 20 text messages complaining about him.

- "Fuck, this guy is not sick, the young master takes the bus. I take a taxi and bus here, and the driver complains about me along the way."

……

- "Where is he going? I took the third bus... I dialed more than 300 on the meter, and I went further and further to the suburbs."

……

- "Wait, I think I know where he's going..."

……

Just as Tang Xiu read the last one, Li Ziping sent another new one.

-"Shen Simo went to the mansion area outside Lanhaijian, it should be his home. But he was stopped by the security guard at the door, tore for more than half an hour, and finally gave up after listening to a call from the security guard. I can basically be sure He went back to take the bus again. It takes more than two kilometers to walk from Lan Haijian to the nearest bus stop, which is how he walked when he came."

A certain manager must have imagined a whole set of scenes about rich kids being expelled from the house in his mind, but he wasn't really stupid, knowing these things would be better not knowing, so he didn't ask Tang Xiu any questions, just said: " Are you still following?"

Tang Xiu didn't hesitate at all, "Follow. He probably won't go back to the crew directly."

——Jiang Qiao has been waiting for Shen Simo to take the initiative to confess. This is entirely the teacher's heuristic thinking.If you really want to cut the mess quickly, you can't wait for a minute.

Tang Xiu looked around and said in a low voice, "Try to know where he's going and who he's meeting next, but don't be discovered."
