A Contractual Marriage with the Best Leading Actor Chapter 101
I Want to See a Passionate Kiss (1)
“I have never expected Xi-laoshi’s love life to be so romantic... Truly, it is all thanks to the coincidences,” exclaimed other guests backstage.
The audience in the live broadcast couldn’t help but type in question marks.
【I’m dumbfounded. Is this really how they met? Seriously, why is it when I lose my suitcase, not only have I never met someone like Xi Chengyun, I’ve also never found it again!】
【Bai Qi has the best of luck】
“Xi-laoshi could obtain so much information just by looking at that suitcase! No wonder everyone says that Xi-laoshi has an extraordinary memory, and could memorize scripts at an incomparable speed.”
The host on stage said laughingly, “Xi-laoshi, you can consider becoming Sherlock Holmes.”
Laughter broke out below the stage.
Someone shouted, “That won’t do! Xi-laoshi needs to be an actor!”
“I’m just kidding.” The host smiled and turned to look at Bai Qi. “Then? Who was the one who took the first step to contact the other person?”
“It was me,” Xi Chengyun said.
Xi Chengyun chuckled and said, “When the call went through, the voice that came from the other end immediately matched the image that I had in my mind. The discovery of electromagnetic waves is an amazing feat. It can bring people from two entirely different places together.”
【People who work in the arts industry are truly different from us all! How can they make a phone call sound so romantic!】
【Xi-ge really does love Bai Qi. From the way he puts it, it seems like everything is fated; from their meeting to them coming to know each other】
Only one young person behind the screen was utterly angry and expressed disagreement.
He gritted his teeth and cursed, “The hell! Where were you back then when I was hanging around Bai Qi all the time?”
The host couldn’t wait to hear more of their love story and immediately asked, “Then, what happened next? You two meet up after the call? What situation made the two of you begin a romantic relationship?”
Even Bai Qi, who self-admittedly could put on an act, felt a headache when he heard the question.
Once a lie is born, one would have to continuously make up stories to ensure that the entire story is logical, complete, and trustable.
However, it seemed like Xi Chengyun didn’t plan to pass the head-aching question on Bai Qi.
Xi Chengyun curled his fingers and shifted in his seat. Most people wouldn’t have paid attention to such a small action. Most would’ve found Xi-laoshi to come off stronger while on camera.
Xi Chengyun continued, “Back then, I had just returned from a filming site and was preparing to take a rest. I also had given my studio’s staff a few days off. So after I ended the call with him, I decided that I’ll fetch the suitcase myself. It was my fault, and I didn’t know how to make it up to him…”
This was something that they hadn’t discussed yesterday night, so even Bai Qi was caught off guard.
‘Thrilling!’ Bai Qi thought to himself.
Xi Chengyun paused before he said, “So, I went through my collection and picked a pen that I’d bought when I was younger.”
The host was enjoying the gossip and asked, “What type of pen was it? Can you show us a picture?”
“It’s a limited-edition pen from Caran d’Ache. There’s something special about the pen. The clock on the pen, its hands always point to 09:25.”
The eyes of the host lit up. “I heard about this pen! It costs USD20,000!”
【When you convert it to RMB, it's around RMB130,000… Hello, Xi-ge, this is your first meeting! Do old men fall so quickly when they are into something? To give someone such a present during your first meeting is just!】
【Ahh, I’m jealous, I’m envious and I hate this. It seems amazing to be loved by Xi-laoshi!】
【Hold on, did anyone realize that the day they mistakenly took each other’s suitcases was on the 25th of September?!】
【???】
【I’m speechless, their meeting... is written in the stars!】
Jiang Fangcheng, who was watching from his screen, was stunned.
This pen had garnered a little attention a while back. Back then, netizens commented that the design of the pen didn’t make sense. The clock was only for show and the hands of the clock weren't designed to move, so who on earth would spend on such an item?
And Xi Chengyun’s story seemed so real…
It seemed so real, as if it had actually happened, as if his older brother had fallen in love with Bai Qi at first sight because of a suitcase.
This wasn’t entirely impossible.
Jiang Fangcheng’s feeling of contempt and anger from earlier on was overtaken by an overwhelming sense of chilliness that ran throughout his body.
