so you love me

Originally, the promotion of "Unspoken Rules" had nothing to do with Joan. After all, he was just one of many supporting roles, and he was the one with the least amount of roles, so he was a little bit better than the extras.But who would have thought that he would suddenly become popular, not only his popularity soared, but also his CP with Zhang Xu was even more popular, so the producer started to get his idea and asked him to cooperate with the publicity roadshow.

He Xiaoxi planned to refuse again, but the reason given by the other party was that he not only starred in it, but also sang the theme song, which played a big role in the movie. In addition, he could also promote his album while promoting the movie.

Qiao An was too busy, so he didn't even need to adjust the notice and work. Unless he told the matter about the two of them, He Xiaoxi really couldn't think of any reason to refuse. In addition, the other agent was very satisfied with the arrangement, so he finally had to accept it.

He Xiaoxi told Qiao An about this sullenly, and Qiao An comforted her with a helpless smile: "Sister Xiaoxi, you also think of me too weakly, anyway, I am also an artist, and I am kind to my ex-boyfriend." The ability is still there."

However, when he arrived at the scene, Joan realized that this matter was not easy.

He did better than he thought. When he saw Zhang Xu, although his heart was sore, he maintained a polite smile on his face. When he said hello, his voice was steady without trembling, and he didn't suddenly lose control and choke up.

However, the producer and the distributor just want to use the popularity of their CP to carry out hype. How could it be possible to keep him at a distance, not only arranging the seats of the two together, but also deliberately creating an interaction between the two, and even the reporters in the audience asked a lot of questions is around two people.

"May I ask Mr. Zhang Xu what's your comment on Qiao An's performance?"

Of course Zhang Xu is more stable than Qiao An: "Xiao An is very hardworking and serious. He will try his best to do his best."

"Then, will Mr. Zhang Xu continue to cooperate with Qiao An?"

"If there is a chance."

"May I ask Mr. Qiao An, when you collaborated with Mr. Zhang Xu for the first time in a movie, how did you feel at that time?"

Qiao An smiled and said slowly: "It's a great honor to cooperate with Senior Zhang Xu, Senior Cao Jihong, and other seniors. I have learned a lot."

"Do you want to develop into film and television in the future?"

"Probably not. After all, I am a singer, and I still want to sing well first."

Just as Zhang Xu said that if he had the opportunity, he would cooperate again, Qiao An immediately said that he would not consider developing into film and television, let alone an entertainment reporter who can make a fuss about nothing, even the propagandists felt that something was wrong, but Qiao An said The reason for this is also very reasonable, and everyone can't get to the bottom of it, they can only guess secretly.

Zhang Xu didn't change his face as if he didn't realize it, but he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, remembering the time when he said in the bar that Qiao An was just a friend's student.

It turns out that the kid was in this mood at the time... No, it should be even more uncomfortable...

The reporter arranged by the organizer hurriedly got up and asked: "Mr. Qiao An, we saw that Mr. Zhang Xu took special care of you in the variety show "From Luxury to Frugality" recently. Is it the same on the set?"

Qiao An smiled and said: "Senior Zhang Xu has always been good at taking care of others, senior Cao Jihong is also very good to me, and all the teachers and seniors of "From Extravagance to Frugality" all take good care of me. I think I am very lucky to meet so many gentle and kind seniors when I was nervous and worried, otherwise I might have been cut off directly."

The reporters smiled in unison, and they had more thoughts about Qiao An's polite strict defense.

The next two people's answers continued to be official and polite. The organizers were anxious like ants on a hot pot. Although this kind of answer was the most common and safest answer, they didn't want this kind of effect.

After the meeting was over, everyone participated in the screening together. Zhang Xu and Qiao An were still arranged together. Finally, Zhang Xu couldn't help but said, "Long time no see."

Joan suddenly clenched the armrest of the chair, took a light breath, and then turned around with a smile and said, "Long time no see."

On the other side of Zhang Xu was Cao Jihong, who also poked his head over at this time and asked, "When did you two become so polite? You don't even call me brother anymore."

Zhang Xu pushed his head away and said in disgust, "You're the only one who talks too much!"

Qiao An seemed to be amused, and after laughing, he explained: "No, you should use a formal address on a formal occasion, otherwise, what if your fans say that I hug my thigh?"

Some time ago, Qiao An was scolded by some fans of Zhang Xu and many passers-by who looked down on idols. Cao Jihong also knew about it. He also bought Qiao An’s album to help repost the publicity. Now he sighed and said: "It's miserable enough for you, but fortunately it's all over. How much is the album? If there is a shortage of sales, I will buy more. Let me tell you that many of my friends are chasing after me for your album, and they have to ask for a signed version. I c ... I said I don’t have one myself, I’ll give it back to you! Dream on!”

Joan was amused by him again, covering his mouth to hold back his voice, and then said: "It's really unnecessary, I'm already satisfied with the current sales, but if someone really wants to sign, I can do it anytime."

Cao Jihong was at a loss for words for a while, and sighed helplessly: This kid is still so honest, but that's why he is likable.

"Little friend," Zhang Xu said again, "Stay here after a while, I have something to tell you."

Qiao An looked up at him, smiled softly and said, "Okay."

After the trial screening, the main creators came to the stage again to express their gratitude. The reporters in the audience held up long guns and short cannons and clicked non-stop. Some bold reporters even asked Zhang Xu to hug Qiao An.Just as Qiao An was about to decline, saying that he was not an important role, Zhang Xu hugged him.

Reporters, guests, and industry representatives all booed, but Zhang Xu said confidently: "What are you afraid of? The more you are twitchy, the more guilty they think you are. Why don't you just be more generous and let them make trouble."

The others laughed again. If Qiao An refused again at this time, he would really feel guilty, so he had to pretend to smile helplessly and cooperate with the photo.

After the show was over, under the cover of other people, Zhang Xu took Qiao An to the coffee shop on the top floor of the hotel, and sat down in a corner by the window.The waiter brought the menu, suppressed his excitement and asked the two of them in the sweetest and gentlest voice: "What would you like to drink?"

"American style." Zhang Xu said, "What about you? Kid. Order whatever you want, I'll treat you."

Joan hesitated and said, "I... just boiled water."

The waiter obviously did not expect to get such an answer, and looked at Zhang Xu in embarrassment.

Zhang Xu chuckled and asked, "Why? Avoiding suspicion to this extent? You don't even want to use my money?"

"No!" Joan quickly shook his head in denial, bit his lips, and said guiltyly, "Well... I... don't know much about coffee... I don't know what kind of coffee to order..."

Zhang Xu asked in surprise, "Have you never drank before?"

Joan glanced at him, then at the waiter, looked back at the table again, and said in a low voice, "I used to drink it at home when I was young, but I didn't like it, and I didn't drink it later. After debut... it's all bottled or instant... "

Recently, Zhang Xu has also learned about his previous experience from various aspects. He was squeezed by the company, ignored by his agent, and maliciously squeezed out by his teammates and fans. Hearing him say this now, I can't bear to ask again. He took the initiative to make an idea for him: "Then don't drink coffee, can black tea latte be okay? The tea taste is very weak, and it's basically milk."

Joan nodded and accepted his recommendation.

After the waiter left, there was a sudden silence on the table. Joan kept looking at the table with her head buried in her eyes, her hands clutching each other nervously on her lap.Zhang Xu looked at his defensive appearance of refusing others thousands of miles away—no, it should be refusing himself thousands of miles away—and couldn’t help laughing at himself: “It seems that what I said is useless.”

Joan clenched his hands tighter and didn't answer him.

However, Zhang Xu suddenly had the desire to confide in him: "Xiao An, that day... I don't know why you suddenly mentioned about Xiaozheng... I admit that I approached you at first because I heard that you looked like him. But I just don't want you to imitate him, I thought... I thought you were imitating his persona.

"But then I found out that you have that kind of character, not an imitation, let alone a human design, so I didn't think about it anymore.

"I was trying to alienate you in the bar, right? If I was trying to use you as a stand-in, or plot against you, I wouldn't have done that at the time, precisely because I like you and don't want you Carrying a bomb at any time will find a way to let you go.

"Of course, I didn't grab you and explain to you that day. I was wrong. I apologize to you. But I really like you. Give me another chance. Come back and let me make up for you, okay? Kid .”

Zhang Xu spoke very sincerely, leaning over to the table and looking at Qiao An with gentle eyes.

Qiao An still lowered her head, remained silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "But brother Xu...you never thought of making it public..."

Zhang Xu was very surprised. Just as he was about to speak, the waiter came over with two cups. Zhang Xu immediately smiled and nodded his thanks. Even Qiao An, who had kept his head down, raised his head and smiled as a gesture.

Only then did Qiao An look at Zhang Xu, her eyes and expression became firm.

Zhang Xu was a little flustered, forced a smile and said: "We have always agreed on this. We are all celebrities and public figures. Even if we are heterosexual, it is not convenient to disclose it. What's more, we are the same sex. From the beginning We talked about it at the time, and you said you didn't mind..."

"But your acting skills are so good," Joann interrupted him, "When I thought in my heart that you have been very good to me, and you really love me very much, you can go to me when I am sad. Eating with others... If I give you another chance, how can I be sure that you really love me?"

Joan laughed self-deprecatingly: "And we can't really hide it for a lifetime. There will always be a day when someone finds out. If you are really unwilling to make it public, what will you do on that day? Are you... would give up on me..."

Zhang Xu was at a loss for words, he didn't know what else he could say, he knew very well that he loved Qiao An, but he couldn't refute what Qiao An said.

At least for now, he really doesn't want to make it public. The publicity of homosexuality is a big blow to celebrities and artists. Although there are many more people who can accept homosexuality, the majority of people who can't accept it, including those in the circle, even Many people may express their attitude by not cooperating for the sake of "political correctness".

But he can't guarantee that he will make it public in the future, just like he can't predict the acceptance of gay people in society in the future, and he can't be sure whether they will be together forever, if that day really comes... If it really comes then one day……

Zhang Xu couldn't say anything to redeem, the two finished their drinks in silence, Zhang Xu paid the bill, stood up and said with a smile, "Let's go."
