Salted Fish is a Rebellious Person – Chapter 40

Xingshi washed his face and lowered his head to let the water drop down.

He got up in a hurry just now and pressed Fu Xiuning’s chest without noticing. At this moment, there seemed to be residual warmth on his fingertips.

He couldn’t help but move his fingers.

The system said regretfully: “If you hadn’t run away, you two might have been kissing by now.”

Xingshi was silent.

The system said happily: “You reacted so strongly to hearing that there is a shielding function. You definitely have a good impression of him, and it’s not low~”

Xingshi continued to remain silent.

The system rarely saw its monkey-loving and trouble-making host in this state, so it said lovingly: “It’s normal to be shy when you are young, don’t feel embarrassed. That’s Fu Xiuning, anyone who likes men will definitely have thoughts about him. Of course, you are the same, you see Fu Xiuning has fallen for you.”

It became happier as it spoke: “You two are a perfect match.”

Xing Shi said, “Shut up.”

The system said: “Hey~ Let’s talk about your true feelings~ Tell me what you think?”

Xing Shi said: “I decided to move out and forget about him from now on.”

system:”!!!”

Xing Shi said, “Shut up?”

The system said: “Close.”

Xingshi wiped his face and turned to leave the bathroom.

He glanced at the open bedroom door, hesitated for a few seconds, and then returned to the living room.

Fu Xiuning was still sitting in the original seat, but he was no longer reading a book. Instead, he was playing with his mobile phone.

As the distance shortened, the two people heard the latest values ​​at the same time.

【Didi】

[Current Favorability Value: 59]

The system immediately made a “tsk” sound: “An unexpected hug increased it so much, he loves it so much.”

Xing Shi said: “Hmm?”

The system muted again.

Xingshi sat back on the sofa, picked up the information again, and read the introduction of the variety show.

The name of the variety show is “Time and Space Client”. It tells the story of several people with time and space abilities who receive a letter of commission from a certain time and space, and go to another world together to help the client solve the problem.

There are four permanent guests in the variety show, and two flying guests in each episode. Since the background stories of each episode are very interesting, the current popularity is quite good and many people watch it.

Xing Shi said: “That’s it, it will be recorded next week, can I catch this episode?”

Fu Xiuning said: “Yes.”

Xing Shi was surprised: “Logically speaking, they should have already decided on the guest stars, right?”

Fu Xiuning said: “Well, he happens to be an artist from our company, so we can exchange resources and negotiate.”

Xing Shi was relieved: “Are there any other variety shows? I want Feng Zifan to go out and relax as well.”

Fu Xiuning nodded: “Yes, I’ll send you a message when the contract is ready tomorrow, and you can bring him to my office.”

Xingshi said “Okay” and the topic ended.

He searched for news related to variety shows on his phone, casually read it for a while, and then looked up at the people around him.

Fu Xiuning looked calm, and the pajamas he wore mitigated some of his usual aloofness. Even when he was playing with his phone, he still looked gentle and refined, and pleasing to the eye.

A thought suddenly came to Xingshi. If he had not traveled through time, and Fu Xiuning had not encountered these hosts and systems, under what circumstances would the two of them meet, and what would their relationship be now?

Fu Xiuning quickly noticed the gaze from the side, and turned his head to look over, and saw Xing Shi looking at him without blinking, with a little light reflected in his eyes under the lamp, just like the first time they met, dazzling and calm.

The two people’s eyes met, and neither of them looked away.

【Didi】

[Current Favorability Value: 60]

Xing Shi’s eyes moved slightly, and he said, “Brother, I’m going back to sleep. Good night.”

The look in Fu Xiuning’s eyes seemed to have blurred under the light, and was softer than usual. He said softly, “Good night.”

The next afternoon, Xing Shi received the news and took Feng Zifan to Fu Xiuning’s office during the break.

Qi Changyi is also here. His work has come to a temporary halt. He originally wanted to pick a variety show to take his children out for fun, but he found out that the selection had already been made.

Seeing someone coming in at this moment, he asked, “Want to go to “The Time and Space Client”? ”

Xing Shi said: “Well, I think it’s quite interesting.”

Feng Zifan followed him in and greeted the two bosses.

Qi Changyi already knew about Yu Yi’s poaching, so he was not surprised why Yu Yi did not come with them.

He nodded to Feng Zifan and looked at Xing Shi: “Shall I take you there?”

Xingshi reminded: “I will record it next week.”

Qi Changyi said: “I know, I can arrange it.”

Xing Shi was very happy: “That’s fine.”

Those hosts are too busy and we rarely see them.

This time, he took the initiative to meet Yan Feng to find out his personality and make plans for the next step. Qi Changyi was the boss and top star of the company, so Yan Feng had to give him face no matter how arrogant he was. Following Qi Changyi, he might have more contact with Yan Feng.

Seeing that he was not opposed, Qi Changyi asked his agent to contact the director.

With his status in the entertainment industry, they would definitely not refuse him if he were to be a guest on a show temporarily. Even if they had already decided on the list, it would be fine, he could be transferred to the next show.

While he was on the phone, Xingshi took the contract handed to him by Fu Xiuning, read it over briefly, and signed it with confidence.

Fu Xiuning said: “When the time comes, let Xiao Qin follow you and let him handle the matter.”

Xiao Qin was Fu Xiuning’s personal assistant. Xingshi had already become familiar with her and had no objection to this.

Fu Xiuning looked at Feng Zifan, gestured to the documents on the table, and let him choose for himself.

Feng Zifan never thought that he would be able to live a “free and easy” life before his debut. Even though he had prepared himself mentally in advance, it still felt unreal when the time came.

He tried to keep his expression calm as he walked over and read through the books one by one.

Most of them were variety shows he had heard of, and there were many types of them, so he was a little hesitant.

Qi Changyi saw him looking at it for a long time and said, “You don’t have to decide today. If you are unsure, you can go back and think about it, or listen to my opinion?”

Feng Zifan quickly agreed. Brother Qi has been in the circle for so many years, so it would be right to listen to him.

Qi Changyi asked about his preferences, picked out a variety show that was most suitable for him at this stage, and said, “I’ll arrange an agent for you, and let him contact you on subsequent matters.”

Feng Zifan said gratefully: “Okay, thank you Brother Qi.”

The two trainees still had to attend classes, so they stayed for a while and then went back.

They entered the elevator during the break and many people nearby saw them. When they saw them come back, everyone couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

Xingshi’s background is now well known to everyone, and he calmly replied, “Oh, just take on a variety show for fun.”

Everyone: “!”

As expected of a big boss, he accepts whatever he wants, he is so willful!

They looked at Feng Zifan and asked, “Brother Fan is going too?”

Xing Shi said: “Well, he went to another variety show.”

Everyone was envious and wanted to hug him. Especially Hou Zhang, he wanted to call him dad.

However, in addition to envy, they couldn’t help but look at Yu Yi, secretly saying that he deserved it. If he didn’t act like a troublemaker, Yu Yi would definitely have the resources this time.

They suddenly felt a lot better when they saw that there were people who were worse off than themselves.

Life returns to its old pace, and it’s all boring training.

The Internet was in an uproar because the report on the Yu Shu incident was finally released.

After forensic examination, it was confirmed that Yu Shu’s cause of death was sudden death, without any external trauma or drug influence.

The police conducted a detailed investigation and released Yu Shu’s schedule. He had just finished work and was supposed to rest for two days, but his assistant said he saw the group message and went there. Bei Jinrong and his friends’ mobile phone message records also showed that they did not invite Yu Shu, but he went there on his own initiative.

As for the mysterious air mass… there is really no way to explain it. The final explanation was that the yacht encountered air currents, and two people were frightened by Yu Shu’s incident, which caused them to lose their balance and fall and get injured.

As soon as the notice was released, all the previous speculations about “rich second-generations killing people”, “taking drugs in groups”, “passionate group fights” and so on were shattered. Of course, there are still conspiracy theories, thinking that capital spent money to smooth the relationship, but this is a minority. The families of the second-generations are keeping an eye on public opinion and will sue anyone who dares to spread rumors.

The fans burst into tears, feeling sad about the death of their idol and at the same time heartbroken that their idol’s affection had never been reciprocated. Qi Changyi was then brought up by them again, which immediately angered his fans and created a bloody storm on the Internet.

I didn’t pay much attention to it and didn’t participate in the discussion.

The trainees all thought that he had a low-grade fever and was in a coma because he was frightened by this incident, and no one dared to mention it in front of him.

A week later, it was Xingshi’s day to record a variety show, so he packed up and prepared to go to the airport.

He dragged his suitcase out of the door, looked up and saw Fu Xiuning also pulling a suitcase, and couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

The system immediately got excited: “Wow, you don’t even wait to be alone in an empty room! Do you think he has started to pursue you?”

Xing Shi ignored it and asked, “Brother, are you going too?”

Fu Xiuning said “hmm”.

He knew that Xingshi was just going to meet Yan Feng, but plans cannot keep up with changes. If an accident happened in the middle and Xingshi had to take action suddenly, someone would need to help clean up the mess.

He said, “I’m not too sure about you.”

Xing Shi understood what he meant, and said with a touched look on his face: “Brother, you are so kind.”

Fu Xiuning said: “After all, you are my only brother.”

Xing Shi was even more touched: “You are my only brother!”

Fu Xiuning looked at him: “Qi Changyi seems to be waiting downstairs?”

Xing Shi said seriously: “This is different. He is my cousin without blood relationship. We are half brothers.”

Fu Xiuning closed the door and took him downstairs.

Qi Changyi was sitting in the nanny car watching them coming together. At first he thought Fu Xiuning was here to see someone off, but then he saw him get in the car as well.

Not only that, the two people greeted him one after another, walked past him and sat in the same row.

Qi Changyi: “…”

He looked back silently, suspecting that the two might have already started a conversation.

He felt redundant throughout the rest of the journey. Seeing others being so friendly and respectful to each other, he felt as if he had been kicked several times.

The variety show was filmed in the film and television city in H City.

It covers a vast area and houses various buildings from ancient times to the present. There are film crews shooting here all year round, and there are many tourists, so it is very lively.

Xing Shi watched all the way in the car, and when he arrived at the hotel booked by the program crew, he looked at Fu Xiuning with shining eyes.

Fu Xiuning understood: “I’ll go out for a walk with you later.”

Xing Shi said: “Okay!”

Qi Changyi broke up the couple this time: “I’ll take you to meet someone first.”

Xingshi nodded obediently, went upstairs to put the suitcase down, and followed him to meet the director.

The director of the time and space client is named Jiang. He is in his thirties, a little bald, but has a very kind face.

He had read Xingshi’s profile before and found out that he was the male lead in Yu Shu’s MV. He was impressed by his outstanding appearance and was happy to see the replacement. But when he heard that Qi Changyi was also coming, he felt that something was wrong.

A trainee who had only filmed MVs, first replaced a senior from the same company, and then let Qi Changyi lead him personally. No matter how you look at it, he is definitely not an ordinary person.

Oh, there is another possibility.

Qi Changyi was implicated in the Yu Shu incident, and he deliberately brought the protagonist in Yu Shu’s MV to participate in the variety show without any hesitation, in order to show that Yu Shu’s secret love had nothing to do with him.

However, Qi Changyi has gone through many ups and downs over the years and he probably wouldn’t care about this, so the possibility is very low.

Director Jiang was making all kinds of guesses in his mind. When he saw Xing Shi coming in front of him, he secretly said that she was really good-looking, and smiled kindly, “Welcome to our time and space client.”

Xingshi responded honestly: “I have been watching this variety show. It is my honor to have the opportunity to participate in the recording this time.”

Director Jiang was satisfied with what he heard, and became even more satisfied after chatting with him for a few more sentences.

Regardless of whether this newcomer has a background or not, at least he has high emotional intelligence and will not act like a king because of his appearance and background. It seems that he can save himself from worry this time. He was worried before that maybe the other party had a bad temper, so Qi Changyi had to come and watch him in person.

Qi Changyi finished chatting with him when the stars came, and said, “I’ll trouble you to take care of me this time.”

Director Jiang said with a smile: “That’s not true. You guys are willing to come to our variety show as flying guests, so it’s only natural for me to take care of you.”

Qi Changyi asked: “Have the other guests arrived?”

Director Jiang said: “Xiao Feng and Zi Xin are already here, Xin Yu and Feng Ya will not arrive until the evening.”

Qi Changyi nodded, exchanged a few more words with him, and then left with Xingshi.

Xingshi knew that Qi Changyi would not take him to meet the two artists, but would choose to introduce them naturally when they met. Otherwise, it would seem too exaggerated and grand to make a special trip, and there was no need for that.

He asked, “The Xiao Feng the director mentioned is Yan Feng from our company, right?”

Qi Changyi said: “Yes, I debuted through a talent show and have done very well this year.”

Xing Shi said: “Have you ever had contact with him?”

Qi Changyi said: “I have met him a few times.”

Xing Shi asked, “What do you think of him?”

Qi Changyi said: “He is very dedicated and has a strong drive to move forward. Do you want to meet him?”

Xing Shi said: “I was thinking that we are all from the same company and will be recording a variety show together soon. Do you want to invite us out for dinner tonight?”

Qi Changyi looked at him and felt that he seemed to be somewhat interested in Yan Feng, so he said, “Okay, I’ll call him.”

They had lunch on the plane and it was already afternoon.

The weather in August was hot, but that couldn’t stop the desire to have fun, so Xing Shi went back to find Fu Xiuning, and the two of them put on sunscreen and went out together.

As soon as they turned a corner along the corridor, they saw the door of a guest room in front of them open, and a boy in a black T-shirt and shorts came out. He was handsome and had a calm expression. It was Yan Feng.

As they looked over, the latter also looked at them.

Fu Xiuning heard a familiar conversation.

Yan Feng said: “You asked me for this.”

The system said, “Yes, we will just condescend to say hello and do nothing else.”

Yan Feng snorted indifferently: “This won’t happen again.”

The system immediately said: “Thank you, Boss, you are so kind!”

Yan Feng gave it a “hmm” and looked at Fu Xiuning calmly, with a hint of surprise in his tone: “Boss? Why are you here?”

Fu Xiuning said: “Accompany him.”

When Yan Feng and the system looked at the stars together, they were really surprised this time. Fu Xiuning’s personality was such that he was willing to come and accompany someone?

Yan Feng took two steps forward: “Who is this?”

Fu Xiuning said: “My brother.”

He introduced the other party to Xingshi, who then politely called out, “Hello, Brother Feng.”

Yan Feng was very satisfied with the title and nodded.

The system is anxious.

Its host has never paid much attention to Fu Xiuning. They might be the last among the hosts to know that Fu Xiuning has a younger brother.

It said, “New character, boss, shall I check him out?”

Yan Feng said: “Go ahead.”

The system received the order and worked, quickly giving him the information.

Yan Feng said: “Not bad, this guy can be my little brother. What’s his number in line?”

The system said: “Number 27.”

Yan Feng thought for a moment and said, “Director He’s only son… let’s move his priority up to number 12.”

The system said: “Okay.”

Yan Feng found a new younger brother, and gave him a little more patience, smiling and asking, “Where are you going?”

Xing Shi said: “Go walk around outside.”

He knew that the other party should have found out his identity. While chatting and looking at each other, Yan Feng would also smile, but his attitude was not warm. He was not as close as Yu Shu, but more like condescending.

As Fu Xiuning said, he is arrogant at heart.

He had an admiring look on his face: “I’ve watched Brother Feng’s talent show. He was fourth or fifth at the time. He was very popular. He was amazing!”

Yan Feng: “!”

system:”!!!”

Yan Feng immediately angrily said in his mind: “How dare he mention my shame!”

The system advised: “Boss, calm down. He is just a newbie with no experience. He really thinks you are amazing!”

Yan Feng said: “There is no word ‘fifth’ in my dictionary!”

The system said, “It’s all our fault. We called you too late. If we had let you through earlier, you would definitely be the boss!”

Yan Feng said: “Oh, you also know.”

The system said: “It was indeed our mistake. Let’s just ignore this conversation. They want to go out and play. How about we go with them?”

Yan Feng chuckled again: “Tell me again, what kind of background do they have to be qualified to let me accompany them?”

System explanation: “I saw that the boss was bored staying in the house, so I wanted you to go out for some fresh air. I didn’t mean to ask you to accompany me.”

Yan Feng was not interested, so he casually replied to Xing Shi, “Then I won’t disturb you guys to go and have fun.”

Xing Shi clearly saw that he was frozen for a moment, and replied: “Okay, goodbye, Brother Feng.”

Yan Feng nodded and turned back to the house.

Xing Shi said, “Eh?” “What did Brother Feng want to do when he came out just now? Why did he go back in now?”

Yan Feng paused and said, “I almost forgot.”

Xing Shi saw him change direction and walked away. He didn’t care how long he would wander outside and followed Fu Xiuning out of the hotel.

The two people chose an ancient area.

Although the weather was hot, it was within an acceptable range. They walked around and played for the whole afternoon, then returned to the hotel, took a shower, and went to the restaurant.

Yan Feng was called out by Qi Changyi and nodded to them from his seat.

Xingshi deliberately chose the seat opposite him and asked him about the draft with a curious look on his face.

Yan Feng was hit in the sore spot again and wanted to bury his head in the food, but Fu Xiuning and Qi Changyi were watching next to him. He resisted the urge to lose his temper and responded with a few words.

He swore in his mind: “One day, I will make this kid cry and apologize to me.”

The system agreed: “That’s right, we still have to stand on the top and take back the glory that originally belonged to us!”

Yan Feng said “hmm” and felt a little relieved: “It doesn’t matter if you are ignorant now, you will have to be obedient sooner or later.”

The system said: “Yes!”

Xingshi felt that his gaze towards her suddenly became more tolerant, so she blinked and said something scathingly, but seeing that he was still calm, she let him go for the time being.

After dinner, a few people went back to their room, rested for a night, and went to the recording site the next day.

The four permanent guests of The Time and Space Client are Yuan Xinyu, Lu Fengya, Yan Feng and Wen Zixin, two men and two women.

Among them, Yuan Xinyu and Lu Fengya are older, and the remaining two are new idols.

Xingshi was taken by Qi Changyi to greet them, and then began to put on makeup. After she was finished, she was sent to the designated location.

He and Qi Changyi were the flying guests of this episode, and the program team designed a simple “prequel”.

Xingshi took some videos under their guidance, and then arrived at the destination according to the route designed in advance.

The six people with the ability to sense the power gathered together. Yuan Xinyu first cue Qi Changyi and Xing Shi, asked them to introduce themselves, and then got down to business.

The plot is very simple. The six of them have been dreaming recently about the love, hatred and vengeance of an ancient dynasty.

They followed the clues to the site and decided to look for the client’s letter for help, then use their abilities to travel back to the client’s time and help the client solve the problem.

The six people need to act separately.

Qi Changyi glanced at Xing Shi before leaving: “Do you know how to play?”

Xingshi replied “Don’t worry”, and randomly chose a direction to look for the letter. It didn’t take long for him to find the clue and successfully found the wooden box containing the letter.

When he opened it, he found it was indeed a letter asking for help. He scanned it quickly and saw the signature clearly.

Client: Gamma Star People.

There is another line of words below: You are the only trustee, please be sure to hide your identity~

Xing Shi: “?”

system:”?”

Xingshi looked at the PD: “Are you sure you are right?”

PD smiled but said nothing.

Xingshi put away the letter and thought to himself that this was fun. There was an alien in the solemn and awe-inspiring ancient imperial palace. It would be interesting if it was a concubine. Did the emperor know that he slept with an alien?

He returned to the meeting place and found that he was the first one to find the letter.

The PD filmed him for a while, then signaled that he could go and rest and wait for the others to come back before filming again.

Xingshi glanced and saw Fu Xiuning coming, so he walked over and stood with him.

Fu Xiuning said, “I heard from the director that you guys are going to change into ancient costumes soon?”

Xing Shi said: “Well, this time the story is set in ancient times. After we finish filming the group discussion scene, we will ‘travel’ to ancient times.”

Fu Xiuning was a little curious about his ancient attire and asked, “What does the commission letter say?”

Xingshi suddenly became interested and took out the letter and shook it: “Guess who wrote it. You have three chances. If you guess correctly, I can agree to any of your requests.”

Fu Xiuning confirmed: “Any?”

Xing Shi said: “Yeah!”

Fu Xiuning said: “The scope is too large, I don’t know the background of your story.”

Xing Shi said: “Only in the palace.”

Fu Xiuning asked, “Can you give a general answer? For example, prince, concubine, etc?”

Xing Shi was very generous: “Allowed.”

Fu Xiuning looked at him and continued to ask, “Will what happened in the palace involve those foreign officials?”

Xing Shi said: “I don’t know, it shouldn’t be involved.”

Fu Xiuning understood, this meant that at least the one in Xingshi’s hand was not written by an outsider.

He fell into deep thought.

The fact that Xingshi was willing to make such a bet with him proved that the answer was unlikely to be a common one such as a palace maid, eunuch or concubine.

No… maybe the answer is too simple, and he was deliberately tricked?

He tested the waters once: “Maiden?”

Xing Shi said: “No.”

Fu Xiuning immediately took an unconventional approach: “A monster that has become a spirit.”

Xingshi and the system hissed at the same time, and the former said, “That’s not right, but it’s close.”

Fu Xiuning asked: “How do you approach? Do you allow the existence of supernatural beings?”

Xing Shi said: “Not allowed.”

Fu Xiuning asked: “People in heaven?”

Xing Shi was silent for a moment: “You want to talk about immortals?”

Fu Xiuning knew that he was about to get the correct answer when he saw his reaction. He curled his lips and refused to follow his lead: “It is the person in heaven, so what is the answer?”

Xingshi handed him the letter.

Fu Xiuning unfolded it and fell silent.

Who would have thought there would be an alien in the ancient setting?

But… he closed the letter and handed it back.

“This is also considered a person in heaven. You are allowed to give a vague answer. You said it yourself,” he smiled at the person in front of him, “Any request, you are willing to accept the loss.”
