Chapter 85

In broad daylight, the two of them were being all lovey-dovey and affectionate.

Wan Yurou's eyes hurt just looking at them. She finished her ice cream in a few bites and turned around to continue her mission.

Facts proved that if the direction was wrong, all efforts would be in vain.

By the time Wan Yurou and Lu Mingzhe were sweating profusely and finally found a glimmer of victory, Xie Xi and Ye Qiusuo had already successfully found all the clues and completed the mission.

Then You Feibai and Xia Zhoubing also completed their mission. When they finally returned, Xie Xi was already so bored that he had fallen asleep on a nearby table.

Wan Yurou: "..."

The person she hated the most right now was Xie Xi, followed closely by Ye Qiusuo.

After recording the show, the six people went back to their respective hotels to pack their things and leave. Except for Ye Qiusuo, the rest were all in the entertainment circle and had an endless stream of schedules.

Before Xie Xi came, he had asked Ye Qiusuo which flight she was taking, and the two bought tickets for the same flight.

Ye Qiusuo hadn't brought much with her. She went up to pack for about ten minutes and then waited for Xie Xi in the hotel lobby.

"Professor Ye." You Feibai happened to come down as well, followed by two assistants. "Waiting for Xie Xi?"

He asked this casually, but the meaning in his eyes was not that simple. As long as Ye Qiusuo said she was waiting for Xie Xi, it was equivalent to admitting that their relationship was unusual.

Ye Qiusuo nodded. Her gaze swept past You Feibai to look behind him.

"Teacher." Xie Xi walked out of the elevator, unable to hide the joy on his brow.

"Let's go." Having waited for the person she wanted to wait for, Ye Qiusuo turned and walked toward the main door.

You Feibai watched their retreating backs, his heart filled with complex emotions.

He had worked with Xie Xi six or seven years ago. At that time, both of them were newcomers with boundless prospects.

Standing in front of the media, You Feibai couldn't show any negative emotions, but Xie Xi had been used to doing whatever he wanted from the very beginning. This circle was an opportunity for You Feibai; once grasped, he could soar to the sky. But for Xie Xi, it was just a pastime.

Very early on, You Feibai understood the differences between people.

As for Ye Qiusuo, actually he... had once had feelings for her.

There might have been a misunderstanding at first. When she looked at him, there was impatience hidden deep in her eyes; You Feibai could tell.

But perhaps because of her appearance, or because she had saved him, there was a bit of liking and affection for her in You Feibai's heart.

It was a pity that the two had no time to spend together. He had too many schedules and worked all year round without rest. Sometimes he would think of her late at night, but because he was too tired, he was not in the mood to make a special effort to contact her.

He didn't expect Xie Xi and Ye Qiusuo to be together. It seemed they didn't have much opportunity to meet, right?

When Movie King You first had thoughts about her, he actually had someone inquire about Ye Qiusuo's schedule. Seeing that both he and Ye Qiusuo were busy, he gave up the idea. But he never expected Ye Qiusuo to have someone she was dating, and that it would be Xie Xi.

"Feibai, this is your schedule for next week. You have to go to E City to film today," his manager stepped up from behind and said.

"Got it." You Feibai put on his sunglasses, his inner heart returning to calmness, and strode outside.

...

Ye Qiusuo and Xie Xi took the same flight back. When getting off the plane, they happened to bump into a male celebrity who had recently become popular again. Fans swarmed up and completely blocked the surrounding area, while security guards desperately tried to maintain order nearby.

Xie Xi pulled down his hat to cover his forehead. Wearing a mask on his face, he put his arm around Ye Qiusuo, half-shielding her face, and squeezed his way out.

He reacted quickly. The fans' attention was all on the male celebrity, and they didn't notice a big star walking past them. At most, Xie Xi would only have a side profile and a back shot in those fans' photos.

Even so, after the male celebrity's fans posted the unedited photos, there were still sharp-eyed people who drooled over Xie Xi's back and side profile shots.

[That guy in the corner looks really handsome.]

[You can't even see his face, and he's already handsome?]

[With that height and figure, it's hard to imagine him not being a handsome guy.]

[Am I the only one drooling over this boy's hands? They look a bit like my ultimate bias Baby Xi's hands, clean and pretty, even the nails are pinkish.]

[I think his back also looks a lot like Xixi. At first glance, I thought it was Xixi at the airport.]

[Stop dreaming. The person this boy is protecting in his arms must be his girlfriend.]

[Sigh—]

The fans eliminated their idol by themselves, but manager Sister Wei was different. She knew Xie Xi's flight, and wasn't that time exactly when Xie Xi got off the plane? After looking at a few photos, she immediately recognized that the two people were Xie Xi and Ye Qiusuo.

Sister Wei stared at the photos on her phone for a long time, then called Zhang Dong.

"Sister Wei." Zhang Dong sounded cheerful on the other end, and the sizzling sound of barbecue could be heard from time to time.

"Are you eating barbecue?"

"I just got hungry, so I came out to eat." Zhang Dong hadn't realized anything was wrong yet.

"Did Xixi come out too?"

"No, Brother Xi is still at home playing with..." Zhang Dong swallowed nervously, "playing games."

Sister Wei stood up and walked to the window, looking at the heavy traffic downstairs. "Playing games with Professor Ye?"

Zhang Dong: "..."

He mumbled a few times and was about to pretend the signal was bad to hang up the phone.

"If you hang up, don't even think about getting your bonus this year."

"Sister Wei..." Zhang Dong was very troubled.

"Are they really together?" Hearing his tone, how could Sister Wei not understand? "Professor Ye actually agreed?"

She wasn't surprised that Xie Xi liked Professor Ye. However, the fact that Professor Ye actually agreed was what surprised Sister Wei.

Seeing that Sister Wei had no intention of pursuing the matter, Zhang Dong breathed a sigh of relief. "Anyway, it went pretty smoothly." Although he wasn't too clear on the details himself.

Having asked up to this point, Sister Wei didn't ask any further. She planned to talk to Xie Xi about how to handle this matter while he was working tomorrow.

Sister Wei wasn't worried. Xie Xi had a transcendent status in the industry and always relied on his singing skills. He didn't need to pander to fans. Dating seriously wasn't something he needed to be on edge about or hide in various ways.

...

"You like pink?" Ye Qiusuo asked from behind.

After returning to Xie Xi's house, Xie Xi carefully put away all the various plushies he had won. The plushies in the amusement park had very strong color characteristics, blue and pink, and the ones in his hands were all pink.

Xie Xi looked down at the plushies in his hands, then smiled with curved eyes: "I'll keep yours safe, and you keep mine safe."

Ye Qiusuo let out a soft laugh and didn't ask any more.

When the two were on the plane, Xie Xi had said that his house was big and could sleep many people. Insinuating through his words, he wanted to stay with Ye Qiusuo for another night.

In the end, Ye Qiusuo didn't go back, but came back with him instead. This was also the reason why Zhang Dong was able to go out and eat barbecue.

Ye Qiusuo stayed here under a different identity. Although it was only for one night, Xie Xi was still extremely happy. He pulled her around everywhere, wishing he could spill every single detail about himself to her.

Ye Qiusuo listened until he finished speaking, and only then did she open her laptop to handle work matters.

Xie Xi went to take a shower by himself. He came back carrying a body full of moisture and sat obediently to the side doing his own things, looking up to glance at her from time to time, completely satisfied.

Later, when he got bored, he quietly took out his phone and started secretly taking pictures of his Professor Ye.

Xie Xi looked down and cropped the photo several times, finally leaving only a pair of hands resting on a keyboard. He then posted it on his alternate account: [She is still working. Heart Heart. Image.jpg]

Late at night, there were an exceptionally large number of people surfing the internet. When the fans of this alternate account saw these hands, they instantly perked up.

[I could lick these hands for a year!]

[Wuwuwu, Hao Hao's girlfriend's hands are so pretty. Drool.jpg]

[Hao Hao, you have a girlfriend, but you still like Professor Ye. Won't your girlfriend get jealous?]

Xie Xi immediately replied to this comment: [No.]

After reading the comments for a while longer, Xie Xi successfully showed off that he was no longer a single dog, then finally turned off his phone and continued to keep Ye Qiusuo company.

Later on, however, he started to doze off. Ye Qiusuo turned her head and saw that his eyes were about to close, so she shut down her computer and told him to go rest.

...

Wei Qi came looking for Xie Xi early the next morning. He had work today, and she wanted to casually ask about his situation with Professor Ye. As a result, Xie Xi was still sleeping in, and the manager ran into Professor Ye in the living room instead.

Wei Qi: "...Professor Ye is here too?"

These two had already progressed to this stage, and as his manager, she was actually only finding out now!

Ye Qiusuo had just finished reading the company's financial reports. She stood up and nodded, "He is still asleep. I will go wake him."

Wei Qi stood downstairs and rubbed her nose: It seems the assistant and lifestyle manager will have to move out from now on.

"Xie Xi, time to get up." Ye Qiusuo pushed open the door. A certain someone was sleeping soundly. If it weren't already ten o'clock, she might not have had the heart to wake him.

Xie Xi rolled over, automatically burying his head into the pillow, not wanting to get out of bed at all.

"I am leaving now."

Xie Xi, whose head was buried in the pillow, suddenly opened his eyes. He sat up abruptly, kneeling on the bed and turning his head toward the door: "You are leaving now?"

Last night, Ye Qiusuo had slept in the guest room next door. After he got into bed, he suddenly suffered from insomnia and couldn't fall asleep, only finally drifting off very late.

"Your manager is waiting downstairs." Ye Qiusuo walked forward a few steps and reached out to smooth down a tuft of his hair that was sticking up. "See you the day after tomorrow."

Xie Xi's eyes revealed his disappointment. They wouldn't be able to see each other tomorrow; he had to wait an extra day.

"Get up." Ye Qiusuo's hand slid down to cup his face. She bent over and kissed the corner of Xie Xi's lips. "I won't be this busy after a while."

Xie Xi's eyes suddenly widened, and then he said, completely dropping his reserve, "If you kiss me one more time, I will get up."

Ye Qiusuo let go of him, a smile in her eyes. She took a few steps back and leaned against the door, saying lightly, "I already kissed you. If you want more, come here yourself."

The great superstar Xie immediately got out of bed and walked over to Professor Ye. He bent down, closed his eyes, and gently touched her lips. Then, he took a step back and shamelessly whispered, "That one doesn't count. You owe me until the day after tomorrow."

...

After Ye Qiusuo left, Xie Xi was still changing his clothes and getting his styling done.

Wei Qi stood to the side: "When did you two get together?"

"A while ago." As Xie Xi spoke, his brow carried a joy he couldn't conceal.

"What does Professor Ye like about you?" Wei Qi muttered to herself. It was truly hard to imagine what kind of person someone like Professor Ye would like, although Xi Xi was indeed not bad.

Xie Xi overheard this. He turned his head and looked at his manager: "She likes my good looks."

"Yes, yes, you are the best looking," his manager quickly praised him.

After a moment, Wei Qi asked again, "When are you planning to go public?"

"After Teacher isn't so busy anymore."

Although he said that, the fact that the two of them were together was becoming increasingly obvious. Especially after the amusement park episode aired, quite a few netizens noticed something fishy.

It was the first time these two teamed up, and the look in their eyes was clearly different from everyone else.

Not to mention there was the contrast of the previous episode where Ye Qiusuo and You Feibai teamed up; back then, the interaction between Ye Qiusuo and You Feibai could only be described as completely distant and distinct.
