Christmas and New Year 2025 Update…. Happy bonus update, you guys….
It was obvious that the two girls were waiting for them on purpose.
Seeing Zu Qi and Xue Jue approaching, the two girls immediately rushed up to them, and then asked Zu Qi for his autograph very embarrassedly.
As soon as Zu Qi nodded, he saw them taking out a pillow from somewhere with two cute cartoon dolls drawn on it. One girl then pointed to the blank space above the doll’s head.
“Can you sign here?”
“Okay.” Zu Qi smiled and took the marker from the girl, but when he lowered his eyes and saw clearly the shapes of the two dolls, he was stunned.
If he was admitting his mistake correctly, the two little dolls should be miniature versions of him and Qiao Yang. Of course, this was not the key. The important thing was the placement of the two little dolls…
They were so close!
Even mouth to mouth!
Although Zu Qi had long known that some girls on Weibo were fans of him and Qiao Yang’s CP, when they bumped into them in life, he had another unexplainable feeling.
The girls quickly noticed Zu Qi’s stiffness, so they spoke cautiously: “Well… we like you and Qiao Qiao very much… that’s why…”
After saying this, the two girls gradually became silent. Out of the corner of their eyes, they looked at Xue Jue, who was silent beside him, with guilt written all over their faces.
Now Zu Qi fully understood what they meant. He was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether he should continue signing, but considering that Xue Jue was beside him, he decided to refuse cruelly.
“Sorry, I…”
Before Zu Qi could say his rejection, the marker and pillow in his hand were suddenly taken away by a hand. He then turned around and saw a faint smile on the corner of Xue Jue’s mouth, who asked with a smile: “Do you need my autograph?”
Usually Xue Jue often encountered fans asking for his autograph, but after all, he was not from the entertainment industry, so when faced with the fans chatting up and sending gifts, he refused them all without thinking.
This was the first time in Xue Jue’s life that he had taken the initiative to sign autographs for others, but these two girls were not his fans…
If it were any other time, the two girls would be ecstatic on being able to get Xue Jue’s autograph, but now, this signature appeared at an obviously inappropriate time.
The girls really wanted Xue Jue to sign elsewhere, but when they looked up at Xue Jue’s face that seemed to be smiling but actually showing cold eyes, they couldn’t help but shudder at the same time.
So scary…
“Okay, okay…” The girls tried their best to force out a smile that was uglier than crying, and then they watched helplessly as Xue Jue picked up the marker in a generous manner and seemed to accidentally touch the face of Qiao Yang’s baby. Then his name was signed over the face.
Two girls: “…”
Xue Jue originally signed very quickly and could complete the abbreviation of his name in two or three seconds, but this time it took him nearly half a minute to complete his name one stroke at a time to write it down.
The girls’ faces were almost turning into bitter melons, their eyes were staring straight at the instantly recognizable word “Xue Jue” on the pillow, and they suddenly felt like the sky was falling.
As if he didn’t see their expressions, Xue Jue calmly handed the pillow and marker to Zu Qi: “Sign it.”
“…” Zu Qi sympathized with the two girls, and almost couldn’t hold back his laughter, such that the corner of his mouth twitched. But he pretended to be calm and took the marker and pillow and signed his name on the top of the other little baby’s head.
At first, Zu Qi could recognize that the little dolls on the pillow were him and Qiao Yang, but now that his and Xue Jue’s names were added, the two little dolls looked more and more like him and Xue Jue.
After the two girls left with a sense of slight disappointment, Zu Qi glanced at Xue Jue who was quite gloating about their misfortune.
“Did you do it on purpose?”
“In fact, most cp fans are just trying to keep themselves fed. After all, they are trying to survive in the cracks of only fans. If they are too public, they will only lose their favor.”
However, even though there were not many cp fans of Zu Qi and Qiao Yang.
But there were always a few fans who come to visit the class during this period, secretly taking photos of Zu Qi and Qiao Yang in the same frame.
Moreover, Qiao Yang was an idol who was very good at taking care of fans’ mood. So when he met a lot of CP fans, he would ask Zu Qi to take photos and sign autographs together, which was considered as some benefits for these niche groups.
Now that Qiao Yang had said it, Zu Qi naturally couldn’t refuse, so there was a lot of so-called “candy” in his and Qiao Yang’s CP super talk, and some of the “candy” was even very explicit…
Of course, there was something about these contents, Zu Qi did not dare to tell Xue Jue.
So he changed the subject in a few words and took Xue Jue around the film and television city while pushing the stroller.
Now that the new year was approaching, although the number of people in the film and television city was not as large as in the spring and autumn, it was still very crowded and lively everywhere. There were many film crews filming here. After roaming for less than an hour, Zu Qi had already seen six or seven familiar actors.
In order not to be recognized, Zu Qi deliberately wrapped himself tightly from head to toe, only revealing a pair of big eyes. Unfortunately, he was still recognized by some people halfway.
Some people just took secret photos, some people secretly pointed at Zu Qi and Xue Jue and discussed, but one bold girl ran over and asked Zu Qi and Xue Jue if they could sign their autographs.
After receiving the consent, the girl was ecstatic and quickly took out a marker pen from her small bag.
“…” Zu Qi took the marker and sighed in his heart that these people were so well prepared and carried markers for signatures with them.
“Can you sign here?” The girl smiled shyly, and then turned the phone case over, revealing a phone case with two simple figures painted on it.
Zu Qi took a closer look and immediately realized that the two little figures on the phone case seemed to be him and Xue Jue.
It seemed that this was another cp fan…
“I like you so much!” The girl excitedly held the phone case and said with expectation, “If even you break up, I will never believe in love again, so you must keep going for the rest of your life!”
Zu Qi laughed out loud, but didn’t say anything.
In fact, he felt that based on his relationship with Xue Jue, many people would say that if they broke up, they would no longer believe in money…
After Zu Qi signed his name, he handed the marker to Xue Jue. He originally thought Xue Jue would refuse. Unexpectedly, Xue Jue picked up the pen and wrote his name next to his name without saying anything.
In just three seconds, Xue Jue stopped writing.
If he hadn’t seen Xue Jue draw a few strokes on the phone case with his own eyes, Zu Qi wouldn’t have believed that the two simple and rough fonts were Xue Jue’s name, which was very different from the two words signed on the pillow not long ago.
However, the girl who wanted to get the autograph was very satisfied and didn’t care too much. Afterwards, she cautiously asked for a group photo, but Xue Jue politely refused.
The girl seemed to have expected that Xue Jue would say this, so did not show too much disappointment. After packing her things, she walked away happily.
But before leaving, the girl seemed to suddenly remember something. So, she turned around and made a cheering gesture to Xue Jue. She then winked and said, “Come on, Elder Tang!”
After saying that, the girl ran away in a hurry, even faster than a rabbit.
Zu Qi, who was confused, and Xue Jue, who had a black line on his face, were left behind.
Zu Qi didn’t understand what the girl meant. It took him a long time to get out of his daze. He then turned and asked Xue Jue, “Elder Tang? So you know her?”
“No.” Xue Jue gritted his teeth and denied.
Zu Qi asked: “Then why did she call you Elder Tang?”
Hearing this, Xue Jue fell unexpectedly silent. His eyes were wandering, and he avoided Zu Qi’s doubtful gaze with a guilty conscience. It seemed that he couldn’t think of a suitable solution after thinking for a long time. So Xue Jue pushed the stroller forward as if nothing had happened.
Zu Qi: “…”
Xue Jue’s reaction told him that even if Xue Jue didn’t know the girl just now, he definitely knew what the words “Elder Tang” meant.
Elder Tang…
Zu Qi recited it silently in his mind. Somehow, he felt that this word was particularly familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but unfortunately he couldn’t remember it for a while.
Later, Zu Qi questioned Xue Jue several times, but Xue Jue refused to reveal a word from the beginning to the end. In desperation, Zu Qi had to give up.
But he kept this word in his mind and planned to ask Xiao Dengzi, a know-it-all, about it when he had time.
The two of them wandered around the film and television city until noon and then returned to the hotel. Lunch was served in the hotel restaurant, and then they took Xue Wanwan back to the room for a lunch break.
Zu Qi originally had the habit of napping, but his biological clock has been disrupted since joining the set. Now he couldn’t fall asleep even after taking a bath and lying on the bed, so he simply lay on the bed to tease Xue Wanwan.
Xue Jue had nothing to do, so he took out his laptop and leaned on the sofa to deal with work emails.
Time flew by in the afternoon, and Xiao Dengzi came to find Zu Qi to go to the studio to put on makeup and change clothes, in preparation for shooting the final scene of the movie.
When he saw Xue Jue and Xue Wanwan in the room, a look of surprise flashed across Xiao Dengzi’s face, but he quickly calmed down and said with a cheerful smile: “Mr. Xue will go to the set together?”
Xue Jue had just finished his work. He originally planned to take Xue Wanwan in the room and wait for Zu Qi to come back from work. But when Xiao Dengzi said this, he changed his mind temporarily: “Then I will bother you.”
“Don’t bother, don’t bother,” Xiao Dengzi said with a flattering smile.
It’s just that Zu Qi didn’t want Xue Jue and Xue Wanwan to go to the set to wait for him. It would be okay if Xue Jue was alone. Now they had a child who was several months old. If there was a tantrum on the set, it may affect the entire crew’s work.
Zu Qi also wanted to discuss this matter with Xue Jue, but in the blink of an eye he saw Xue Jue happily preparing Xue Wanwan’s baby supplies. He then sighed and had to swallow back everything he wanted to say.
The crew started work at 8:30 pm, and Director Wang planned to shoot four night scenes this evening.
At eight o’clock, the actors and staff arrived at the set one after another. Zu Qi was the last one to arrive. In the past, the only people he brought with him were Duan Kai and Xiao Dengzi, but today there was suddenly one more.
For a moment, most people’s eyes turned to Zu Qi.
