He told Zhao Zhenxun and Qi Cong that the audition results would come out tomorrow morning at the latest.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After leaving the set, Zhao Zhenxun looked at Qi Cong and asked, \u201cAre you confident?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Seventy percent.&#8221; With a bit of exhaustion between his eyebrows after a full effort, Qi Cong replied, \u201cI tried my best.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Zhenxun went through the information of the other competitors in his mind and said in a slow voice, \u201cThen wait for the results without fear.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That night, it was no surprise that the crew didn\u2019t call. Zhao Zhenxun left the Shangxian neighborhood after encouraging Qi Cong a few times. After Qi Cong returned home he turned on his computer and began to write.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If he joined the crew, he wouldn\u2019t have much time for writing \u201cChivalrous Bones.\u201d The novel was coming to its end, so he had to finish writing it as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next morning, Zhao Zhenxun had other work and didn\u2019t come to Shangxian, so Qi Cong stayed home alone, writing all morning.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The alarm clock rang at exactly twelve o\u2019clock. Qi Cong stopped writing, picked up his phone and turned off his brain as he looked at the call alert bar and the message bar.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They were both empty. Zhao Zhenxun didn\u2019t send him any messages.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was already noon, so he must not have passed the audition.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He put the phone down and lowered his head.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was already a much lower starting point than Gu Xun, but he still couldn\u2019t grasp it. He was too useless.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At two o&#8217;clock in the afternoon, after Qi Cong had already sorted out his emotions and started to concentrate on sprinting towards the ending of \u201cChivalrous Bones,\u201d his phone suddenly rang without warning.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With his thoughts interrupted, Qi Cong looked over and saw that it was Zhao Zhenxun calling. He hastily answered and asked, &#8220;What&#8217;s wrong?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe final results of the audition for \u201cGrey Dove\u201d have finally come out.&#8221; Zhao Zhenxun\u2019s tone was tinged with excitement as he spoke quickly. \u201cGet ready, in four days you will enter the crew. The role of Mu Shenzhou is yours.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bang!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong sat upright and released the breath he was holding in. He couldn\u2019t help smiling as he responded, \u201cGood.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After finishing this call, Qi Cong looked at the document on the screen that hadn\u2019t made much progress today as he held his cell phone.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He grasped at this starting point.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He suddenly sat up straight again, threw away his phone and pressed his stiff neck. Rubbing his stiff fingers for a moment, he put his hands back on the keyboard.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In four days he will finish writing \u201cChivalrous Bones\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8230;&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On September 17, after writing the ending of \u201cChivalrous Bones\u201d and putting all the chapters into the storage box and setting their publishing time, Qi Cong ushered in his last job before joining the drama crew &#8211; going to Shashi as featured guest for a lifestyle variety show.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Once you enter the crew you will be there for 20 days. You needed a program to keep you exposed in the middle of it. This variety show was Jia Jia\u2019s permanent program before he entered the drama crew. Since he\u2019s had less exposure recently, he will also participate in this episode and take you with him. Since both of you will appear together it will bring enough conversation.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was an unexpected joy. Qi Cong asked, \u201cJia Jia will be there, too? Isn\u2019t he busy with the crew?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;He is busy, but I found a way for him to get leave for two days.\u201d Zhao Zhenxun covered the schedule and looked at Qi Cong. \u201cHe is also very worried about you and has been making a fuss about seeing you.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong\u2019s heart softened as he said, \u201cThis time, I will film well with Jia Jia.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few hours later, the plane landed in Shashi. As soon as Qi Cong walked out of the exit, he was hugged by Shen Jia, who was fully armed with sunglasses and a face mask.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Brother Cong! Brother Cong! Congratulations on your new song topping the charts, and congratulations on getting a new role! You&#8217;re great!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong jumped back a step, smiled and raised his hands to hug Shen Jia. He asked, \u201cWhen did you arrive?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I just arrived.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Zhenxun suddenly inserted himself between the two, pushing one with one hand as he whispered, \u201cGo.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Jia was a little confused. \u201cWhat&#8217;s the hurry? Brother Zhao long time no see. Won&#8217;t you give me a hug? &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;What hug? We will get blocked in the airport in a moment. I told you to wait in the car, why are you running around?\u201d Zhao Zhenxun asked while skillfully pushing Shen Jia into the security circle made by the bodyguards. Stuffing Qi Cong there as well, he whispered, \u201cControl your expression, there are fans coming.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong vaguely heard some screams, and realized something. He looked at the place where Zhao Zhenxun looked and sure enough, he saw a\u00a0 group of fans holding signs running toward them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Jia also saw them. Startled, he hurriedly raised his hand and pressed his hat on his head. &#8220;What&#8217;s going on? Isn&#8217;t my trip a secret?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Zhenxun replied, &#8220;It has nothing to do with you.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Jia: &#8220;Ah?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As fans approached, their voices became clear.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cQi Cong!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCongratulations on recording Qi Cong! Jia Jia&#8217;s Big Brothers will take good care of you!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCome on Brother Cong!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Jia gave an exaggerated &#8220;wow&#8221;, then became more excited than from seeing his own fans. He grabbed Qi Cong\u2019s hand and waved it towards the fans saying loudly, \u201cDon&#8217;t worry! Brother Cong will refuel!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fans were dumbfounded, then screamed even brighter as they ran over like crazy. Their excited screams were now accompanied with \u201cIt\u2019s Shen Jia voice!\u201d, \u201cShen Jia!\u201d, \u201cJia Jia is here too!\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Zhenxun almost died of anger because of Shen Jia&#8217;s divine move. Gritting his teeth, he said, \u201cWhat are you doing? What if this causes a trampling accident? Forget it, don&#8217;t say anything more. Qi Cong, take the lead in saying hello to the fans and quiet them down. Don\u2019t let them run around and interfere with the normal operation of the airport.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong was stunned for a moment. He looked at the young people running over with small signs\u00a0 with the word \u201cCong\u201d. Feeling some emotions surging in his heart that he wasn\u2019t accustomed to, he responded, \u201cOkay.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Don&#8217;t be nervous, the fans are very cute.&#8221; Shen Jia whispered encouragement from the side.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong looked at Shen Jia\u2019s smile and nodded. \u201cMm.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The crowd slowed down as the fans finally approached. Qi Cong, under the protection of his bodyguards, stood as far out as possible. He tentatively made a quiet gesture towards the fans who were crowding over.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone really quieted down. Although they were still a little excited, they restrained themselves and didn\u2019t make a sound. Their eyes shone like crystals as they looked at him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So well behaved.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong couldn&#8217;t help but smile as he spoke. \u201cThank you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fans stirred and some of them covered their faces shyly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Have you been waiting for a long time?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fans hurriedly shook their heads, saying \u2018no.\u2019 Their hands waved super fast, like a bunch of little chicks who were excited but didn&#8217;t know how to express their emotions.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kindness and love were things that could heal the heart the most. The smile on Qi Cong&#8217;s face deepened as he gestured in the direction of exit and said, \u201cI&#8217;m going to the car at the door.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not good to block people here so can we talk as we walk?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fans hurriedly answered yes and voluntarily made a path for Qi Cong.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They were really well behaved.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong smiled lightly and took the lead in walking toward the outside while answering the fans&#8217; slightly shy and formal questions as they walked. He occasionally signed autographs for the fans and tried to respond to each fan&#8217;s call.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The group soon exited the airport, and Qi Cong turned around to wave at the fans who consciously stopped in place, saying, \u201cThank you. Go home early and be safe.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fans nodded together and someone shouted, \u201cTake care of yourself Brother Cong! Your future will be great!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong froze. Looking at the fans who suddenly shouted, he smiled, nodding as he replied. \u201cI will, and so will you guys. Thanks.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He turned to get into the car. In the aftermath, he vaguely saw a familiar figure flashing through the crowd. Freezing, he quickly turned his head to look over, but only saw some tourists.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Jia was already in the car and asked, puzzled, \u201cWhat&#8217;s wrong Brother Cong? What are you looking at?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fans also looked around in confusion.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qi Cong restrained himself, waved to the fans, then sat in the car and said, \u201cNo, I just\u2026 forget it.\u201d It was probably just an illusion.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inside the airport, Gu Xun walked out from behind the airport pillar where he was hiding and watched the car with Qi Cong leave. Then he raised his hand and pressed down the hat on his head.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Your behavior is really perverted.&#8221; A cool voice came from the side.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gu Xun looked over and his mood due to seeing Qi Cong dissipated. Frowning at his friend he said, \u201cDon&#8217;t be sarcastic. If he joins the crew this time he will probably be able to come out in mid-October. If you want to use him as the second male lead in your movie, think it through. Don\u2019t delay his schedule.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;What&#8217;s the hurry?&#8221; Nan Ting clicked on his phone, but the system prompted that it was already the last page of the novel. He stroked his mouth and put away his phone. He said to Gu Xun, \u201cI\u2019m personally more interested in his novel than your sweetheart acting skills. As someone&#8217;s ex-boyfriend, can you get me chapters for \u201cChivalrous Bones\u201d in advance? I&#8217;m really curious about how Fengyue will die in the end.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The words \u2018ex-boyfriend\u2019 deeply pierced Gu Xun\u2019s sore spot. He looked at Nan Ting with a gloomy face and said, \u201cI am not an ex-boyfriend.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Yes, you\u2019re not.&#8221; Nan Ting nodded and continued to say, \u201cSaying that he was your ex-boyfriend is flattering you. Didn&#8217;t you see how everyone guessed on the Internet? Gu Xun\u2019s unrequited love, Qi Cong giving his heart to Shen Jia. Oh, your fans are so distressed that they scold Qi Cong openly and secretly, saying that Qi Cong eyes aren\u2019t good and that he isn\u2019t worthy of you. There are also people guessing that you and Qi Cong aren\u2019t a good pair. If Shen Jia is gay, he must be a 0, and since Qi Cong is so attached to him, he is most likely a 1. You are also a 1. Two 1s can\u2019t bear good results. Or are you willing to be a 0 for love?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gu Xun frowned at this. &#8220;What a mess. Qi Cong giving his heart to Shen Jia? Who&#8217;s guessing like that?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Everyone is guessing like this. Have you not read Weibo these days?\u201d Nan Ting very &#8220;thoughtfully&#8221; opened Weibo and clicked on the collection of several highly popular analysis articles in front of Gu Xun. \u201cHere. It\u2019s a good article about the unrequited love of a miserable movie star.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Edited by: Antiope1<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=25191841\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"51\" class=\"wp-image-338 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/become_a_patron_button.png?resize=217%2C51\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 217px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 217\/51;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/lajnaa\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kofi3-3.png?resize=185%2C47\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is kofi3-3.png\" width=\"185\" height=\"47\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 185px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 185\/47;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Huang Jianwei, stood in the corner watching from the side, and started looking more attentively.
