Needless to say, Qi Xingchen knew who had posted the video. The Chinese girl who had exchanged contact information with him in Denmark last week was a Facebook blogger with millions of fans.
But he didn't expect the girl to be so influential that she could spread the video so widely!
Hearing the voice behind him, Liu Ziyu reached out and touched his arm.
"You're lucky," Liu Ziyu joked. "You're now a big shot on the news!"
Qi Xingchen was dumbfounded. "I performed acrobatics on the street because I was short of money, but it became a cultural broadcast on the news. I …"
"Performing is not low-class," Bai Ye said. "To be able to earn money with one's own labor and let others enjoy spiritual enjoyment, that is noble."
Qi Xingchen was still in a daze when his phone vibrated.
He looked down and saw that there was only a single word, "Jing".
Qi Xingchen walked outside and picked up the call. A gentle male voice said, "Xing Xing, how have you been?"
"… Pretty good." Qi Xingchen thought for a moment and said, "My phone broke down a while ago, so I can't see the caller ID. Who is this?"
The person on the other end was silent for a moment.
Then it turned into a light laugh. "Are you still angry?
"Okay, it's my fault. I'll go back to China and make you happy, okay?"
Angry, make you happy, go back to China … The memory fragments reassembled in his mind. Qi Xingchen remembered.
This person was the original owner's childhood friend, Liang Jing!
In "Peaches of the Night", Liang Jing was a relatively famous cannon fodder.
He was two years older than the original owner. Before he graduated from Harvard Immunology, he was recommended by China's leading expert in immunology and became his last disciple.
He had a gentle personality and an outstanding IQ. He was a Jackson-type medical genius.
At the same time, he was also one of the female lead's admirers.
During a consultation with the female lead's younger brother, he fell in love with the kind-hearted female lead at first sight.
After that, when the female lead's younger brother had acute kidney failure and needed a kidney transplant, he donated one of his kidneys to the female lead's younger brother to save his life.
… It was a plot that would only appear in a Mary Sue novel.
Unfortunately, no matter how noble and selfless they were, they still couldn't escape the fate of being cannon fodder.
Knowing the other party's identity, Qi Xingchen replied hesitantly.
Liang Jing didn't seem to want to pursue this issue. He smiled and asked, "You went to Northern Europe a few days ago. Why didn't you come over to play with me?"
Half a year ago, Liang Jing was sent to the joint medical laboratory of China and Sweden for research. Before that, the original owner quarreled with him.
Qi Xingchen couldn't remember why they quarreled.
"I'm going to Denmark to record a show. I can only stay for a week." Qi Xingchen felt that the other party's tone was strange. He wanted to hang up quickly, "What's the matter?"
"Nothing." Liang Jing was still smiling, "I just wanted to ask when you learned acrobatics.
I remember acrobatics requires Tongzi Gong. You were weak and delicate when you were young, so you didn't learn acrobatics. "
From the moment he performed acrobatics in front of the camera, Qi Xingchen expected this question.
He had already thought of an excuse, "I learned acrobatics after I joined the company. I'm not as good at singing and dancing as others, so I had to find another way."
"Then in just one year …"
"I practiced harder." Qi Xingchen interrupted him, "What, you don't believe me?"
The original owner and Liang Jing lived in the same villa area. When he was young, he would sneak to the Liang Jing's house, eat Liang Jing's food, and sleep in Liang Jing's bed.
Later, the Qi family built their own villa in the middle of the lake. But compared to his family, Liang Jing had more feelings for the original owner.
Qi Xingchen's question was equivalent to pushing all the problems to the other party.
So Liang Jing could only helplessly say, "Of course, I believe you.
Qi Xingchen's hair stood on end, "But what?"
"Acrobatics is difficult. If it's too hard, then stop. It's not like the Qi family can't support you."
"Moreover, you still have me."
Hearing this, Qi Xingchen was relieved. He was afraid that Liang Jing would find other flaws.
"Well, I'll think about it." He replied, "I have something to do now. I can't talk to you."
After hanging up the call with Liang Jing, Qi Xingchen didn't have time to think before Qi Yuji called again.
News Simulcast was not like other programs. Every elderly family loved to watch it.
Father Qi saw it on the TV and asked Qi Yuji to ask about it.
Qi Xingchen used the same excuse, which made Qi Yuji cry again, "So my Xing Xing has suffered so much outside. I'll ask Big Brother to bring you back now. Let's not be a star anymore!
If you insist on acting, then buy a film company for you! "
"… No need. Boys have to be trained."
After the incident with Zhou Yu, he spoke to Qi Yuji in a soft and gentle tone, "And people have to grow up by themselves. They have to learn to face the world by themselves."
"You're just like Big Brother … By the way, Xing Xing, I find that you seem to have matured a lot recently. You're also much more stable in doing things."
"Maybe the experience of being in the hospital made me grow up."
Qi Xingchen lowered his voice. He didn't want to lie to Qi Yuji.
But he had to, because he didn't know how the plot would proceed.
Qi Yuji finally smiled through her tears and took a deep breath. "It's good to grow up, but Xing Xing, you don't need it."
"With us around, you can always be a willful child."
With us around, you can always be a willful child.
The moment he heard this, Qi Xingchen's nose twitched.
When he was young, he looked forward to growing up. When he grew up, he could protect himself and not be bullied by anyone.
As a result, he grew up too quickly and didn't experience what childhood was. He also didn't see the world from a child's perspective.
Qi Xingchen sniffed. Qi Yuji continued, "Also, Xing Xing, I brought the gifts you gave to Dad and Big Brother. Tsk, tsk, tsk."
"I'm not telling you. Go to Moments and see for yourself."
Qi Xiaoming's father and Qi Yunxiao's eldest brother had been running the Qi Corporation together. They were very busy with work and never posted on Moments.
After hanging up the call with Qi Yuji, Qi Xingchen curiously found Qi Xiaoming's WeChat and found that the original owner had left him with an emoji of a monkey covering its ears.
Qi Xingchen was speechless.
How much did he hate his father's nagging!
He clicked on Qi Xiaoming's Moments. On the blank interface, there was only a frontal photo without his face.
The focus of the camera was on his chest where he was wearing a tie. The caption was: [Wearing a tie given by my son to the Davos Forum. All my partners praised me for being more energetic.]
Qi Xingchen couldn't help but laugh. What kind of psychological hint was this?
Then he opened Qi Yunxiao's Moments. The comment was similar to Qi Xiaoming's.
It was a monkey covering its mouth.
Yun Xiao: [The weather is good.]
The attached photo was of the tie clip Qi Xingchen gave him. Qi Xingchen rubbed the tip of his nose.
He changed the comments of the two to "Dad" and "Brother" respectively.
The guests thought that the last task of the second stop would be very difficult, but Director Zhao said, "Today's task is very simple. Some of you have already experienced it.
That is, go to Xiao Tie's junior high school to experience teaching. "
"Some of you" referred to Qi Xingchen. He was very happy when he found out about the task.
The fragrant pancakes, the sweet and sour tomatoes, and the children's thirst for knowledge had already made him fall in love with them deeply.
Everyone felt that this task was very meaningful, so they picked up their bags and set off.
However, when they stood on the bumpy, winding path and the mountain rocks that could only be crossed by pulling an iron chain, their hearts were in their throats.
When they arrived at Oxen School, the form teacher showed the guests around and told them about the interesting things that had happened in the past ten years.
"I came to teach 10 years ago. The conditions were worse back then.
The students used their own desks, which were of different heights.
The classroom floor was bumpy. The first time I taught, I tripped and fell. "
She said it with a smile, but if they thought about it from her perspective, they could guess how difficult it was when she first entered the mountains. The relaxed expressions on the guests' faces completely disappeared.
Oxen School had a total of two classrooms, a playground, and a teacher's dormitory cum office. They finished touring in ten minutes.
The class director said, "It just so happens that the children in Class 1 are studying by themselves. I'll take you to have a look."
As he spoke, the director opened the classroom door and Qi Xingchen appeared in the children's field of vision.
Because the teacher was not strict and they really liked this very powerful and good-looking big brother, they did not care whether they were studying by themselves or not. They all rushed out with a "whoosh"!
"Teacher Xing Xing, why are you here?"
"You asked me to follow the train of thought of the third question and do the same ten questions. I'm done!"
"I'm more obedient than him!
I did twenty questions! "
Looking at Qi Xingchen who was surrounded by the students, the director was quite surprised. "Do you know each other?"
"Okay, okay, you're going to squeeze me out." Qi Xingchen comforted the children and explained, "I've explained the questions to them twice."
In a situation where there was no need to build feelings, filming was even easier.
The guests were divided into their respective subjects and the day's classes were quickly finished.
In the afternoon, when the program crew was about to go home, the children were still lying in front of the window and looking at Qi Xingchen.
Qi Xingchen did not dare to linger for fear that the children would cry. He smiled and waved his hand, then turned and left.
On the way back, Bai Ye saw Qi Xingchen with his head down and walked back to him. "Feeling uncomfortable?"
"It's okay, Qianzhou is not far. You can visit them often in the future."
"I said I'm not feeling uncomfortable." Teacher Xing Xing was stubborn.
Bai Ye could not help but sigh. This little fan's habit of hiding everything in his heart was really annoying.
Back at home, Qi Xingchen ate a few mouthfuls of rice and rushed into his room.
Three hours later, he hurriedly ran out with a stack of books.
Director Zhao was filming the rest of the guests discussing the lucky draw when he called out to him. "Xing Xing, where are you going?"
"I'm going to bring something to Xiao Tie."
"Huazi, follow Xing Xing." Director Zhao hurriedly assigned people, afraid that they would miss a scene.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!" At this time, the big yellow dog jumped up and barked.
Suddenly, dozens of people appeared outside the yard.
Some of them carried a bag of biscuits, some carried two thermos bottles of milk, some carried a snakeskin bag of tomatoes … Their eyes were red.
Qi Xingchen was stunned. "Why are you all here?"
"Because they can't bear to …" The teacher touched the children's heads. "They can't bear to leave their teacher Xing Xing."
Qi Xingchen turned around and wiped his eyes.
"What's there to be reluctant about?" He turned back and smiled. "You're not the only ones who have gifts, I have gifts too."
He waved the book in his hand. "These are the questions you've asked me recently. I've organized them according to type.
You need to finish reading them within ten days. I'll ask Xiao Tie to check them at any time. "
"Got it, Teacher Xing Xing!" The children cried in unison. "You must ask, don't forget us!"
Such a scene moved everyone in the yard.
Bai Ye walked over and patted Qi Xingchen's shoulder. He asked softly, "Teacher Xing Xing, shall we give the children another song?"
Qi Xingchen knew that he did not want the children to cry. That would make them feel even more sad. "Okay, what song?"
Bai Ye cleared his throat. "No matter how it ends in the future, at least we've been together …"
Everyone in the courtyard, from Zeng Er, who was in his fifties, to the children in their teens, sang in unison:
"As long as we've been together, it's enough for you and me.
A person's life is full of memories, I only hope that your memories include me … "
