Xiao Jiashu is on fire. He is revered by netizens as the âwalking expression pack.â If you havenât used Master Xiaoâs expression pack this year, then you are out. Ling Feng and Ling Taoâs CP are also on fire. Many fans said that they bought movie tickets only to watch the interaction between the two. Although the ending was miserable, the process was sweet, and it was sweeter in reality. That was enough.
Throughout the weeks of the filmâs screening, the topic #Ling Tao and Ling Feng# were topping the hot search list from time to time, showing how much the audience loved these two characters. In the end, ăThe Apostleă ended perfectly with a high box office of 1.56 billion, earning both reputation and popularity.
In order to rub off heat from the two brothers CP, many advertisers extended olive branches to Ji Mian and Xiao Jiashu at the same time, but they were all rejected until Zen Yue Hot Spring Resort sent an invitation.
âZen Yueâs endorsement offer, Ji Ge, will you take it?â Fang Kun couldnât make up his mind for the moment.
âIâll ask Xiao Jiashu first.â As soon as Ji Mian picked up his mobile phone, the tone rang. Speaking of the devil. Xiao Jiashu sent an expression pack and added, âJi Ge, are you there?â
Fang Kun casually swept a glance at it, then burst into laughter. The expression pack Xiao Jiashu sent was a screenshot of him hiding behind a wall, poking out half his head to observe wild dogs and cats snatching food from the garbage can. His head is full of messy hair, his face is still plastered with beard, only to reveal a pair of careful and watery eyes, looks both pitiful and funny.
Ji Mian smiled softly and sent out an emoticon touching his head. âYes, whatâs the matter?â
âLetâs take Zen Yueâs endorsement together, the rich water will not flow outside the field.â Xiao Jiashu sent another expression â a wandering one with him squatting next to a large, plastic bottle-stuffed snakeskin pocket with bulging eyes and a caption in the lower right corner â Get rich!
Ji Mian held back a smile while holding his forehead, and it took him a long time to type the four words, âThen pick it up. â
The next day, the two came to the studio to shoot print advertisements. The staff responsible for receiving them were very attentive. One is a big actor and the other is the younger brother of the president. He canât afford to offend either one!
âWhereâs my brother?â Xiao Jiashu looked around and showed a disappointed expression.
âMr. Xiao has a meeting to attend and will come back later. Second young master, Mr. Ji, please come here.â The staff took them into the dressing room and explained in detail, âOur hotel is built for health preservation. The main consumers are urban elites or elderly people who need to relax, not tourists, so the theme of todayâs shooting will be family affection and friendship. That is to say, you two are both brothers and friends in the shooting. Just show this relationship.â
Ji Mian glanced at Xiao Jiashu.
Xiao Jiashu immediately nodded his head, âNo problem.â Is it not just treating Ji Ge as if he were a real brother? Whatâs so hard about that?
âOkay, then you guys do the styling first, Iâll go and communicate with the photographer.â The staff brought a pot of coffee to the two of them, and only then did he walk away.
An hour later, the two people wearing the same suit walked into the studio, but Ji Mianâs suit was gray, neat, and meticulous. All his hair was combed to the back of his head, revealing deep and beautiful facial features. A pair of gold wire glasses on the bridge of his nose did not cover his fierce eyes, but instead made him show a bit of an authoritative aura.
Xiao Jiashuâs suit is royal blue. His hair is messy and fluffy, but it doesnât look sloppy. On the contrary, it looks free and easy. He wasnât wearing a tie or button. His slender neck and a small section of his sexy collarbone was exposed, which is very eye-catching.
They were clearly dressed in the same clothes, but in a completely different style, a calm abstinence versus a playful vivacity. Standing together offered an image of division and harmony. They are like concave hemispheres which makes people want to tie them together with ropes.
The photographerâs eyes lit up and he immediately ordered, âThatâs the feeling, itâs great! Please come over here!â To highlight the various functions of the hotel, the first set of photos was taken in the business meeting room, with a luxurious round conference table placed in the middle and surrounded by lights.
âPretend youâre in the office. The props on the table can be used freely. Donât worry about me. Iâll watch the screen.â The photographer pointed to the laptop and folder on the desk.
Eh? Iâve never run a business ah! Every time Xiaoâs Pharmaceuticals held a shareholdersâ meeting, he was a statue, sitting and pretending to be a wooden head. Xiao Jiashu scratched his ears and cheeks, and was in great distress. Ji Mian glanced at him with a smile, and finally advised him, âIâm here to work, you can play as you like. Our appearances are very telling. Iâm an elite, youâre a dummy, you can do it.â
Xiao Jiashu smiled gratefully at Ji Mian and then picked up the folder. He imagined himself as a second generation who only knows how to rely on his brother. His mind was full of eating, drinking and fun. He doesnât know how to work at all. He was forced by his brother to come to the meeting.
But thinking about it he almost cried out, because this is simply a reflection of him in real life, where is the pretense ah? He immediately deflated, one hand on the cheek, one hand pretending to squeeze the folder, but his eyes sneak to glance at Ji Mian, dark pupils contemplative and cunning. Ji Mian was staring at the laptop, his expression very serious, as if in a video conference.
The photographer immediately pressed the shutter and shouted, âOK, thatâs it! Great expression, more!â
Is it great? Xiao Jiashu got excited, put his long legs on the table, put his hands behind his head, and shook proudly. Iâm a second-generation ancestor, whatâs wrong? I just donât like going to work, whatâs wrong? Are you trying to catch me? Well, Iâll make trouble so that you canât live in peace. He shook his legs as he thought about it, his eyebrows were raised high, and he looked like he deserved a beating.
He created a lot of scenarios in his head, but he didnât know that Ji Mian almost laughed and suffered internal injury. How can this living treasure have such a rich imagination?
âPut your legs down.â Ji Mian took off her gold wire glasses and stared at him with deep and unpredictable eyes.
The picture of the brothers fighting each other was quickly recorded by the photographer.
Xiao Jiashu immediately wimped out, honestly put his legs down, then squinted his eyes and peeked at Ji Mian, his expression was somewhat aggrieved, his watery eyes seemed to be complaining, âWhy are you so harsh?â
Ji Mian stared at him with his head lowered, the curve at the corners of his mouth and the tenderness in the depths of his eyes softened the dignified and stern aura, as if he was asking helplessly, âWhy are you so naughty?â
When you look up at me and I look down at you, their bodies are slightly close to each other, making the picture composition show a strange sense of compatibility and contradiction. If you look at it carefully, you can find the warmth hidden in it. The photographer took dozens of photos in a row and sighed as he took them â itâs worthy of being the best CP of the year. Look at this tacit understanding, itâs amazing!
It only took around ten minutes to capture the photos of the conference room, and the group moved on to the presidential suite. With the experience of shooting, Xiao Jiashu this time completely let go, put on the same casual clothes as Ji Mian in different colors, and lazily laid on the sofa.
Ji Mian naturally walked over and said with a soft smile, âGive way, thereâs only one sofa. Youâre hogging it all by yourself. Where does your brother sit?â Before he knew it, he had taken over the role of a brother and was full of patience and tenderness when dealing with Xiao Jiashu.
No one knows how much he once longed to have a brother or sister so that he would not have to face those terrible things in the past by himself or endure decades of loneliness. If he had someone to share his pain and joy with, perhaps he would not have lost hope in life so early. He was always looking for motivation to live, but the essence of life seems to be dull.
However, when he lowered his head and looked at Xiao Jiashuâs lazy face, his dark eyes unconsciously showed a little light.
Xiao Jiashu was lying in the sun. The whole person was limp. He barely raised his upper body and said vaguely, âJi Ge, you sit, can I lie on your lap? I want to sleep.â
âTake some more photos first and go to bed.â Ji Mian sat down and gently patted his flushed face.
âIâm really sleepy. I ate chicken last night.â Xiao Jiashu turned over and lay down with his back to Ji Mian.
Eating chicken seems to be an online game1. Ji Mian knows, but he has never played it. He stared at Xiao Jiashuâs sleepy face. He really couldnât cry or laugh. He clearly wanted to wake the other party up, but his fingertips involuntarily inserted into his hair, stroked it back and forth and gently rubbed it.
Xiao Jiashu, like a cat being caressed by its master, slowly moved his position while letting out a soft hum, from lying on his side to lying on his back, exposing all his most vulnerable places to the eyes of Ji Mian. He trusts and relies on him wholeheartedly. The sunlight penetrated through the floor-to-ceiling windows and sprinkled all over, gilding them with a soft golden glow, making the whole picture look incredibly warm.
The photographer pressed the shutter one after another and then made an OK gesture. Thereâs no need to change the pose. This feeling is great. It causes the whole suite to look warm and comfortable, and makes one want to move in and sleep.
âNext scene âŠâ the photographerâs loud voice was blocked by Ji Mianâs âsilenceâ gesture.
âLet him sleep for a while first.â Ji Mian didnât dare to stand up, so he could only helplessly spread his hands.
âOkay, okay, the second young master has been busy with work recently, so he must be very tired. The other photos can be taken on another day, anyway, we are not in a hurry.â The staff did not dare to disturb the little ancestor, and quickly brought a blanket to cover him. Then he looked at Emperor Ji with embarrassment, âMr. Ji, do you want to move? Letâs help you lift the second young master?â
âNo, let him sleep soundly. Do you have a book? Bring me a copy. Anything will do.â Ji Mian tried his best to lower his voice.
âYes, I will get it for you.â The staff found a novel and brought a pot of coffee.
In this way, Ji Mian sat in the warm sunshine, keeping a person in his arms and holding a book in his hand. He spent the afternoon leisurely while reading the text and tasting coffee. He hadnât enjoyed such a quiet and beautiful day for a long time.
