Chapter 30

A moment later after Fang Bai went out, Sheng Qiao’s cell phone resting on the bed was flashing silently.

Huo Xi picked it up and saw that the caller was Zhong Shen. He answered the phone and other end hurriedly said.

“Qiao Qiao, what’s wrong with you? Are you oaky?”

“It’s Huo Xi, she’s fine.”

“…..”

Zhong Shen looks at his phone like he just heard a ghost, he was still recording live so he didn’t dare to speak recklessly. Stammering he said.

“Oh oh, then that’s good.”

Huo Xi explained the situation roughly to let him relax. Zhong Shen then hung up the call.

He put the phone back on the bed, and his eyes swept to the screen saver. He froze and picked it up again, tapping his finger on the screen.

On the screen saver was his picture.

This photo was cleverly used since it was not a high resolution photo him. It was a distant view of the stage, in the photo he was holding the microphone looking into the distance. There was no light on the stage, only his straight black silhouette surrounded by a large shimmering light—it was the light of his fans’ support. It looked like the stars falling at night, surrounding him.

Most people would not know it was him.

He looked at the girl on the hospital bed, the latter seemed to feel something as her eyebrows furrowed and was about to wake up. Huo Xi put the phone back and took two steps back.

Sheng Qiao opened her eyes and rubbed her head as she in a dumb voice.

“Xiao Bai, I want to drink water.”

Huo Xi walked to the side and poured the water, walked towards her and put it on the bedside table as he said in a light voice.

“A little hot, let it cool down a little before drinking.”

Sheng Qiao who was struggling to sit up from the bed, fell back.

It took her a long time before turning her head and saw Huo Xi standing by the bed with his hands folded. She blinked and blinked again, then a very complicated look welled up on her face.

<<I’m not worthy>> was no longer enough to express her feelings so she has to use <<I’m guilty>>.

She sat up, straightened her hair and asked in small voice.

“Huo Xi, what brings you here?”

“Just happened to be running some errands over here and stopped by to see you.”

She nodded her head as she held the glass of water and blew on it. Taking a small sip before adding.

“I’m fine, but I can’t be discharge tomorrow. You go back early, the hospital is no good so don’t stay here for a long time.”

She wanted him to be healthy and carefree for the rest of his life and to never have to go to the hospital all his life.

Huo Xi looked at her indifferently.

“In the future when you are sick, you should seek medical attention in time and don’t resist.”

Sheng Qiao nodded frantically.

He turned around, and Sheng Qiao eyes looked at his back with some reluctance but also happiness and waved her hand.

“Huo Xi, bye…..”

Before the second word could be uttered she saw him walk near the chair and sat down.

“….you’re not going?”

Huo Xi glance at her said.

“You seemed desperate to get rid of me?”

Sheng Qiao head almost shook off as she whispered.

“Hospital is unlucky….”

He took out his phone and sent a message to Xiao Dan asking him to take the driver to have a late night snack first, while sending the message he said to Sheng Qiao.

“I haven’t eaten yet. Fang Bai has gone to buy food for me.”

He looked up and continued.

“I heard from Fang Bai that you only ate some white rice all day today?”

“…..I’m on a diet.”

He didn’t expose her and just said.

“We’ll eat together later.”

Fang Bai soon came back, when he received Huo Xi’s message he bought a bowl of congee on top of the three dishes and one soup for Sheng Qiao. Huo Xi moved his chair to the side of the bedside table and set up the dishes, he then put the light dish on the side leaning near her and said in a light voice.

“Eat.

Sheng Qiao held the bowl and peeked at him.

Waahhhh, this damn gentleness would make her heart moved to tears and would flow non-stop!

God, what kind of charming agent did you add when you made him?

How could he be so nice?

Wahhh, she wanted to love Huo Xi for life! Go crazy for him and just be crazy for him then knock against the wall for him!

After eating, Fang Bai packed out the take-out box ready to go downstairs to throw it but Huo Xi took the garbage bag in his hand.

“I have a meeting tomorrow morning, please take care of her tonight.”

Fang Bai hurriedly said.

“I will, I will.”

He put on his hat and mask, turned his head to Sheng Qiao and said.

“Get well, I’m leaving.”

Sheng Qiao nodded, holding back the emotion and reluctance in her eyes.

“Huo Xi, thank you for coming to see me.”

He had already pulled open the door and walked out carrying the garbage. Sheng Qiao lay back on the bed, for a long time then raised her hand to cover her heart. There it was beating so fast.

Thump, thump, thump.

Fang Bai who was holding his phone next to her said,

“Sister Qiao Qiao, your fans are fighting with Xingyao again.”

Sheng Qio came back from her flowery mood and hurriedly opened her phone.

Cha Cha has sent a lot of updates and told her about the current ‘war situation’. Sheng Qiao was no longer the poor little person who was discredited when the contract was first terminated and the fans who supported her this time had finally concentrated an outbreak at the moment.

Three of the top ten searches were related to her, and when she clicked on it she saw a shocking picture of ‘murderous itinerary’ in red letters. Sheng Qiao’s fans were crying in anguish accusing Xingyao of oppressing its artist, seeking legal assistance and demanding immediate termination of her contract.

Before there was no cohesion of the powder, but for the first time they were all united with purpose. The momentum for their beloved one to seek justice.

Since this fire has been burning, there was no reason to let it stop.

Sheng Qiao replied to Cha Cha’s messages and after a meeting in the management group to redefine a more complete denouncing plan, the situation could be describe as a good one.

Chapter 30 (2)

Huo Xi sat back in the car and calmly took out his phone under the eyes of Xiao Dan’s hidden bitterness, and checked the hot searched as he asked him.

“I remember you have a lot of marketing accounts in your hand?”

Xiao Dan: ???

Brother, what do you want again?

“Contact them and put pressure on Xingyao.”

Xiao Dan couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Why do you care about her? Didn’t she harmed you enough? That kind of person, just let her….”

Huo Xi glance at him.

“Are you planning to be my boss?”

“….don’t dare.”

He then indignantly buried his head to contact the marketing accounts.

After a long time, the man who leaned back against the back cushion whispered.

“She is not that kind of person you think she is. Don’t say those words in the future.”

**

The single-minded fans soon found that a large number of marketing accounts has come to join the scrabble.

They thought it was the same as before, that it was directed at Sheng Qiao but didn’t think that this time they would be all unified and aim their guns at Xingyao. Once the marketing accounts was on the field with them, the heat increases exponentially again and the matter was soon out of hand.

Several promising newcomers that Xingyao were approaching with the intention of signing, after a night all back out of signing the next day.

If the dishonest company gets angry at Sheng Qiao in the future, wouldn’t she be killed? With this assumption circulating in the circle, even foreign media have reported this news bluntly saying that the entertainment circle killed people without seeing blood.

Because of Sheng Qiao the Xingyao has been in the news many times and this morning the stock dropped a few times. With this happening the general manager slammed the papers over the floor in his office.

“Is this ever going to end? You guys can’t even handle one little artist, can you?”

The secretary said.

“It happened suddenly last night, the public relations department are off duty and… lot of marketing accounts popped up all of the sudden…”

“Don’t tell me that! Come up with actual solution!”

There was a knock on the office door and Brother Bao walked in.

The general manager collected himself and asked.

“What’s wrong?”

Brother Bao had a helpless smile on his face and handed over several documents.

“These are the last few endorsements we have with Huo Xi, which will expire after in a year.”

“Can’t you handle this yourself?”

“Just now Huo Xi called and said he could renew the contract for another year.”

The general manager sat up straight for a moment.

Huo Xi this gold mountain has ran away from their grasp, he doesn’t know how long his heart has been broken because of this. But since there were many people and money involved he couldn’t bound him forever. Now seeing that the last trace of involvement with Xingyao was coming to an end, how could he just end it himself?

The general manager just used his eyes to asked what was going on, Brother Bao sighed..

“The condition is, let Sheng Qiao peacefully terminate the contract.”

…..

After going through the discharge procedure, Sheng Qiao was ready to return to the capital but the plane ticket that Xingyao prepared for her was for tomorrow. Sheng Qiao was not stingy with money so she booked herself a new ticket and fly back.

When they arrived at the airport, she was about to get out of the car when she saw a crowd of people at the departure gate, probably fans sending off their idol.

Such a big crowd, she guessed that the popularity of this idol was very high. Sheng Qiao peeked at the car window for a moment and suddenly felt that the light signs they were holding looked familiar.

Gold, it was Huo Xi’s lighted sign.

Sheng Qiao pulled Fang Bai who wanted to get off.

“Wait before getting off!”

“What’s wrong?’

“All Xiguang2 are out there!”

Fang Bai: “….”

There was a traffic jam on the way here, and it was very close to the boarding time already. The fans have been waiting for a long time with no plans of going away, so Shen Qiao could only asked Fang Bai to get to the boarding pass first and then the two would meet directly at the security gate.

After a while, she received a phone call from Fang Bai.

“Sister Qiao, I’m already at the security gate. Be careful coming over, if you’re recognized by Huo Xi’s fans don’t think of anything and just hurry up and run!”

Sheng Qiao put on her sunglasses, hat and mask, she then took a deep breath and pulled open the car door.

Hand in the pockets, head down and making sure she was the most inconspicuous chick in this airport!

Huo Xi has probably already boarded the plane, the fans who sent the plane left from the security checkpoint and went out in groups of three or two. Sheng Qiao rubbed shoulders with them and could still hear their voices discussing excitedly.

When she arrived at the security checkpoint, she saw Fang Bai waving at her. Shen Qiao quickened her pace and suddenly heard someone shouting behind her.

“The one in front, hey, you wait!”

Sheng Qiao: ??

Crap, is she calling me? I need to hurry up and run!

The sound of rapid running coming from behind, Sheng Qiao started running. Seeing that her finished line was getting closer and closer, she almost pose up for victory but her arms was yanked from behind.

The voice breathed heavily.

“Say, what are you running for?”

Sheng Qiao resignedly turned around and saw that the one who pulled her was a girl with a golden colored shoulder bag. The back of her hand tugging her arm has Huo Xi’s support logo.

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, I’m out.

The girl was so tired that she spoke in gasp. She took out a small wallet from her pocket and said.

“You drop something, is this yours?”

Sheng Qiao froze.

The girl let her go, one hand propped up on her knee and was still panting.

“I saw it fall out of your pocket so I chased it all the way here and called for you. But what are you running for?”

Sheng Qiao took the coin purse and said in a low voice.

“I’m going to miss you my flight.”

“Ohhh, then hurry up and get it, bye!”

The girl turned her head and walked away.

But Sheng Qiao called her out again.

“Wait a minute!”

The girl turned her head and looked at her suspiciously.

Sheng Qiao pulled out the signed photo of Huo Xi from the coin purse.

“I am also a Xiguang, thank you. This is for you.”

The girl’s eyes lit up when she saw the autographed photo and wanted to take it immediately but looked at her hesistantly.

“Such a precious photo, you’re willing to give it to me?”

“I have a friend who works at Huo Xi’s studio, I’ll just ask him for one next time.”

The girl was overjoyed, she took the photo over and put in on heart as she said thank you to Sheng Qiao several times in a row.

“Can I add you in Weibo? Let’s follow the event together in the future!”

“…no, no, I’m too busy with my work to catch up with concert, ah I’m leaving I need to catch up the plane!”

After saying these, she turned around and continue walking. After going through the security she looked back and saw the girl was still standing in the same place, giggling while looking at the photo. She then looked up at her, seeing her turned around she quickly waved at Sheng Qiao.

Sheng Qiao also waved back at her, the corner of her mouth under the mask curved up slightly.

Xiguang, were in fact was also very lovely group of people.
