Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 227 226. Betrayed by the Agent
After asking for leave from Qin Zhenggang, Lin Xiao drove onto the highway and headed straight for Xingcheng.

Today is Thursday, July 7st.

Tomorrow is the first day of August and also the final day of this season of "The Sound of Life".

It has been more than half a month since the last recording.

Because the show will be broadcast live and no mistakes can be made on site, all the singers for the entire season arrived at Mango TV two days in advance for repeated rehearsals and adjustments in order to achieve the best possible condition for the live broadcast on Friday night.

Although Han Xixi had communicated with the director in advance, he would sacrifice his own shots on the last day to cooperate with the program team to promote newcomers.

But she is the first guest after all.

No matter how many times you try to get in front of the camera, you still have to go on stage.

If she doesn't sing any songs, not only will her fans be disappointed, but the "being a big shot" controversy caused by her last absence will also come back.

This is totally unnecessary.

So for the last episode, Han Xixi carefully prepared a song that she liked but would not steal the spotlight, and it was also recognized by the program team. During the past two days, she made detailed adaptations and rehearsals as required.

The last rehearsal ended at around 7pm.

Han Xixi came out of Mango TV and took the special car arranged by the program team back to the hotel. He was so tired that his face turned a little pale.

Her agent Zhou Hui sat next to her and felt something was wrong when she saw that she was trying hard to endure the discomfort.

Although the intensity of the rehearsals over the past two days has been a bit high.

But as a "marginal figure", Han Xixi has much easier time than other singers, both in terms of the number of rehearsals and the difficulty of singing the songs.

Especially some superstars, they even have to sing two or three songs.

How come others don't seem to be so tired, but she, a young person in her twenties who is in the prime of life, is so tired after just singing one song?

Zhou Hui glanced again at her assistant Chen Jiajia sitting in the passenger seat, then turned back worriedly to ask Han Xixi about the situation.

Zhou Hui had already guessed it, and now it is almost certain.

She is very angry!

I was angry that Han Xixi didn't care about her career. She had achieved such success at such a young age, but she didn't cherish it at all. She was only 23 years old and she was eager to get pregnant and have a child.

Becoming a mother at this age is extremely rare even for ordinary people, and she is the only one of her kind in the entertainment industry.

Of course, this is not what made Zhou Hui most angry.

What made her most angry was that Han Xixi had concealed such a big fact as her pregnancy from her. Even her assistant Jia Jia knew about it, but she was kept in the dark.

Zhou Hui couldn't help thinking:

"Can I still lie between your two beds and stop you from making a baby?

"If you are pregnant, can I still force you to have an abortion?"

"If you had told me in advance, I could have arranged your work during pregnancy and after delivery so that you could return to the public eye as quickly as possible... but you kept it from me, so I have no way to deal with it!"

Zhou Hui couldn't help but sigh: It turns out that this generation of young people is selfish, they are all ungrateful wolves who can never be tamed!

She pretended not to see the two ABBs' little movements.

Anyway, we will reveal our true colors tomorrow and go our separate ways. From now on, we will just go our separate ways and owe nothing to each other!

……

Han Xixi returned to the hotel room.

Zhou Hui didn't come, so Chen Jiajia just sent her to the door and then left in a hurry.

Xixi felt it was a bit strange, because whenever she went out to work recently, Jiajia would directly transform into her assistant, bodyguard and "extremely possessive boyfriend", and would not even let her go to the bathroom alone.

Today's behavior of running away without sending her to the room was rare, so it was very strange.

However, Han Xixi didn't take it to heart, and guessed that Jiajia was probably in a hurry to pee.

Swipe your card to open the door.

"Wife, do you miss me~~"

With a big jump and a greeting, Lin Xiao stood at the entrance of the room as if by magic.

Han Xixi was stunned for a moment, and her eyelids, which had been too tired to lift up, suddenly opened.

next second.

She just threw away the room card and threw herself into Lin Xiao's arms.

Lin Xiao caught her steadily.

It was 7:30 in the evening, which sounded like it was very late, but in fact it was still light in the summer, and the sky outside the window was grayish white.

This color is peaceful and leisurely, making people not want to do anything but want to go home.

The two of them hugged each other quietly and motionlessly under the refraction of the grayish-white light, until the light outside dimmed little by little, from grayish-white to grayish-black, until the entrance became completely dark like an isolated island.

Only then did Xixi leave Lin Xiao's arms, blinking her weak and aggrieved eyes, and raised her head stubbornly.

Lin Xiao looked at her, and the neon lights outside the window cast a brilliant mark in her eyes.

His heart was broken.

He quickly stroked her hair, touched her cheek, and bent down to kiss her deeply.

This kiss was passionate, lingering, and arousing.

Xixi was very immersed and devoted.

Lin Xiao felt very uncomfortable and tortured.

It didn't take long for him to break up the passionate kiss and keep himself calm...even though it was difficult!
The couple hasn't seen each other for a week.

Last weekend, Xixi went to Haicheng to attend an event, which was originally scheduled to last two days.

As a result, another performance was added at the last minute, so she just stayed in her apartment and did not come back.

After the performance, I went to Star City to participate in the rehearsal of "The Sound of Life", which has continued until now.

Lin Xiao has been busy recently.

Moreover, because it is the flood season, there is a rule that one cannot leave the province where one lives, so he cannot go to see his wife. The two of us can only express our feelings to each other through video and WeChat.

Normally, after the two of them confirmed their relationship, they have been spending more time together than together, and there have been many times when they were apart for longer periods of time than this time.

I didn’t feel anything about it before.

But this time, I don’t know why, I just felt it was very difficult to endure, both of us felt the same.

Although neither of them said anything for fear of adding psychological burden to the other, Lin Xiao truly felt that his wife missed him and needed him.

So he came without hesitation.

Xixi was very surprised and tears welled up in her eyes.

To be honest, she guessed it, but she didn't dare to be sure.

Considering that the little traitor Chen Jiajia has always been a double agent and has acted as an insider for Lin Xiao many times before, her abnormal behavior at the door just now made Han Xixi subconsciously guess: Could it be that my husband is in the house and has come all the way to see me?
However, this thought only appeared for a moment before she immediately and firmly rejected it.

Today is Thursday, a workday.

It is still the flood season, so officials are not allowed to leave their posts too far.

Lin Xiao would not come no matter what.

But she never expected that as soon as the door opened, her long-missed husband would really appear in front of her. Even after they hugged and kissed for so long, Xixi still couldn't believe it and stared at him in the dark.

With a "click", Lin Xiao turned on the light.

Xixi shook her eyes and made sure that the person standing in front of her was her husband. She did not hug or kiss the wrong person.

Lin Xiao laughed out loud at his wife's long reaction time, and reached out his hand to scratch her nose.

"Why are you looking at me like that, little idiot, don't you recognize your husband?"

"you!!"

Han Xixi was furious, but she didn't loosen her arms around her husband's waist. She raised her head and said stubbornly, "Who are you calling a little fool?"

Lin Xiao smiled happily and tapped her forehead lightly: "You, little idiot, you've been hugging me for a long time and you're still in a daze!"

Han Xixi was teased and angrily tried to let go and break free from the embrace.

However, as soon as he withdrew his hand, Lin Xiao immediately grabbed her slender waist firmly like catching the moon in the bottom of the sea, and kissed her passionately against the wall.

The room was filled with heavy breathing.

It took a long time to get back to business.

Xixi then asked: "Brother, why did you come here suddenly? Isn't today Thursday?"

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and said indifferently: "I asked for leave!"

Xixi was even more shocked.

"Ask for leave? It's still the flood season, you can still ask for leave?"

"What happened to the flood season?"

Lin Xiao was so proud of himself, "I have to protect the safety of the people, and I have to worry about my wife's well-being! Today at work, I suddenly felt a strong, deep, deep longing calling me. I thought, there is no one else in the world who misses me this much except my wife, so I immediately asked for leave and rushed over to show my warmth!"

As he said this, he pursed his lips and kissed his wife's soft lips hard, making a loud "bang" sound.

"How is it, honey? Is it warm?"

"Hmm...it's quite warm!"

Xixi looked embarrassed and happy, but suddenly asked, "But how can you be sure that the longing you feel comes from me?"

Lin Xiao said: "Do we need to be sure? Who else could it be besides you?"

Xixi suddenly said: "And your ex-girlfriend..."

"Ahhhh!"

Lin Xiao's expression changed immediately. He took two steps back and put his hands on his hips. "Han Xixi, could you please stop being such a downer? Didn't we agree not to mention this matter again?"

Xixipi was very happy at this moment, and quickly begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong... I didn't mention my ex-girlfriend, it's just that I miss you, strongly, deeply, and deeply into my bones. My husband is the most handsome, caring, and charming man in the world... Is that okay?"

Lin Xiao was so overwhelmed by the praise.

Although I know my wife is coaxing him against her conscience, but... she said I am the most handsome, caring and charming!
Who wouldn't take the bait? It's normal to be fooled!

"Humph, you know what's good!"

"Hehe, husband, has he eaten yet? Shall we go out for something delicious?" Xixi asked playfully.

"Let's go out and eat..."

Lin Xiao hesitated a little and touched his wife's belly. "You've been rehearsing for a whole day. Are you still energetic? I saw that you didn't look right just now!"

Xixi's eyes were filled with excitement. She raised her hands and hugged Lin Xiao's neck, with the tip of her straight nose almost touching his chin.

"I was very tired just now, but when I saw my husband, I was immediately revived and now I am full of strength!"

Xixi smiled playfully and brightly, and said coquettishly, "Brother, don't worry, I won't joke about my body, it's really okay. Let's just go out for a walk for an hour and come back, okay?"

Lin Xiao nodded blankly.

His wife's intimate and natural behavior directly seduced him and made his whole body feel like it was on fire. The bony parts were soft, but the boneless parts were hard!
"Wife... do you want to take a shower first?"

Lin Xiao hugged his wife's waist again. It has been almost three months, but there is no sign of a belly. She is still slim and slender without any fat.

He pressed his forehead against Xixi's, and the hot breath from his words hit her face; his voice and tone were sticky.

Xixi was very confused: "Shower? Why do I need to take a shower? Wait until I come back after dinner..."

Before I finished speaking, I suddenly understood a little.

Suddenly, he felt shy and speechless, rolling his eyes and saying, "Comrade Lin Xiao, please pay attention to your thoughts. Is this the time to think about these things?"

Lin Xiao said shamelessly: "I just think the weather is too hot. I sweated a lot during the day and now my body is sticky, so I said I wanted to take a shower. What are you thinking?"

Xixi was choked to the point of being speechless.

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and said lecherously: "Also, you said I shouldn't think about these things. What are these things you are referring to?"

Xixi was so amused that her face turned red, but she couldn't refute it and could only swallow her loss.

"I don't want to bother with you, I'm leaving!!"

As he said this, he broke free from the embrace and was about to run away.

How could Lin Xiao let her escape? He hooked his arm around her waist, clamped her back, and blatantly seduced her: "Let's take a bath together... I'll help you with the places you can't reach..."

The tone was deep and the hormones were overflowing.

Han Xixi's neck turned red and her cheeks were so soft that it seemed like water could drip out of them.

Logically speaking, due to the effects of progesterone, pregnant women's needs and desires in this regard will be greatly reduced compared to before pregnancy.

But Xixi hadn't seen her husband for a week and missed him terribly. Plus, Lin Xiao was now seducing her blatantly and shamelessly, the two of them were leaning against each other, feeling each other's scent.

This desire and sweetness that was about to burst out made it difficult for Xixi to remain calm.

In the end, she was completely confused and put up a final fight like a kitten, saying timidly, "The first... the first three months haven't passed yet... the internet says... it's not possible for now..."

It was just a short sentence, spoken haltingly.

Even though she is pregnant and giving birth to someone else's child, she still looks as innocent as a virgin girl.

Lin Xiao felt even more affectionate, and couldn't help but climb around with his hands, letting the electric current bounce back and forth between them.

This desire is really hard to bear.

But I could only endure it.

"Oh, I'm telling you the truth. I thought you smelled bad and wanted you to take a shower, but I was afraid that you would be embarrassed if I told you, so I said I wanted to take a shower myself. How come you don't understand the subtext?"

Lin Xiao loosened his arms and spoke loudly.

Han Xixi was immersed in the romantic and tender sweetness just now, but her eyes widened instantly when she heard these words, as if all the hazy filters in the idol dramas were removed.

"Do I smell?" Xixi quickly sniffed her sleeve. "Don't you know whether I smell or not? You had to let your husband point it out. How embarrassing it is now!!"

"..."

"But I don't dislike you. We're a couple, so if you stink, I stink too!"

Lin Xiao bared his teeth and smiled brightly, "Okay, go take a shower, and then we'll go for a walk and have dinner together!"

Xixi didn't move, just stared at him hungrily.

Lin Xiao also knew that he had messed up, so he shrank his head.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go. You can wash it when you come back... Why are you opening the door? Are you leaving now? Alas, alas, alas..."

With a bang, the door closed.

Lin Xiao stood alone in the quiet and straight corridor, looking at the closed door, and felt a crow flying overhead.

Well, this is really screwed!

……

It took me a long time to coax my wife into submission.

Before the two of them went out, they took a bath together... Of course, they didn't do anything bad. Lin Xiaoguang just looked at them, but he didn't find it wonderful at all.

Because it feels like you can only look but not eat, it’s even worse than not looking at it.

It was already past eight when I went out.

Xixi wanted to eat at a roadside stall, but Lin Xiao didn't dare to spoil her like before. He finally persuaded her to go to a high-end restaurant, and the two of them spent more than 800 yuan to have a full meal.

After dinner and a stroll, they returned to the hotel at Lin Xiao's urging - the weather was too hot, and he was really afraid that his wife would get hurt from the heat.

After coming back, we took another shower and it was already past ten o'clock.

Both of them were very sleepy today, so they went straight to bed.

But they hugged each other, feeling the quietness around them, and were reluctant to sleep, so they started chatting about random things.

There's actually nothing to talk about.

Although we were separated these days, we kept talking on the phone, video, and WeChat. We told each other everything that happened, even whether we pooped or not, and how much or how little. Both of them knew.

But now that they are hugging each other, they still have endless topics to talk about.

Talk about work, worries, childhood experiences, and embarrassing things that happened when I was in school...

This conversation lasted for more than an hour.

Lin Xiao had been sleepy for a long time, but his wife became more and more excited as they talked, and her little mouth kept chattering.

It was already past twelve o'clock.

Lin Xiao took into consideration that the pregnant woman needed more rest, so he quickly ordered his wife to go to bed. Only after coaxing and threatening her did Xixi slowly fall asleep.

Listen to the woman under my arm's breathing become even.

Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes and tried to sleep... but he couldn't fall asleep.

In my arms, Xixi was sleeping happily and soundly.

But when Lin Xiao smelled the faint jasmine scent on his wife and thought of the erotic scene of their two baths together that night, the little sentry immediately began to stand guard.

Normally I can still tolerate it.

But now that he had such a beautiful girl in his arms, he couldn't bear it no matter what. After all, it was late at night and people were inherently fragile - the more fragile you are, the stronger it will be.

In the end, Lin Xiao begged for mercy.

He gave up struggling, carefully pulled his arm out from under his wife's hand, and then tiptoed into the bathroom in the dark.

A traditional meal.

"call……"

Lin Xiao felt calm and his legs were sore. At this moment, he only wished for world peace.

Everything is in harmony.

The only bad thing was that I was sweating again, and the two showers I took in the evening were in vain.

Finally, I took another shower and stayed up until about one o'clock. Then I fell asleep peacefully and relaxedly in my wife's arms.

……

The next day, Friday.

After Xixi finished her breakfast at the hotel, she set off for Mango TV to make final adjustments and rehearsals for the evening live broadcast.

She originally wanted Lin Xiao to rest in the hotel and then go to the show in person in the evening.

But Lin Xiao insisted on escorting him throughout the journey.

After all, I have already taken leave, so what's the point of staying in the hotel? Although I have to pay attention to the distance and influence from big stars at the TV station and can't be close to my wife anytime and anywhere, it's also good to be able to accompany her all the time.

Seeing that he was so persistent, Xixi grinned sweetly and agreed readily.

Arriving at the TV station, there was a flurry of activity.

As an idle person, Lin Xiao stayed in the dressing room obediently the whole time, adhering to the principle that not causing trouble is helping.

He had been here once before, so the makeup artist and the program staff all recognized him, and this time they finally didn't give him too many inquiring looks.

Lin Xiao stayed there with a clear conscience, watching everything calmly.

Inexplicably, my mind began to flash back to the fragments of my previous life. It felt familiar yet strange, and I felt completely dazed.

He counted on his fingers and found that today was already August 8st.

The time when he traveled through time and the young boy Lin Xiao from Blue Star drowned after jumping into the water to save someone happened on August 11, 8 years ago.

Just one week later.

Lin Xiao secretly sighed: No wonder...

In fact, since he came to this world, every August, he would become inexplicably restless and upset. He didn't know if it was because his body and soul were not integrated enough, or for some other reason.

This symptom was particularly obvious in the first few years after traveling through time, and then gradually alleviated each year.

But the effects and symptoms are always there.

Lin Xiao even suspected before that he might have suddenly traveled back in time on August 8 of a certain year.

But every year when I fell asleep on the 7th night, he was still here when I opened my eyes in the morning, and then I felt that there was something wrong with me - I traveled through time because I died suddenly on Earth, but now I am alive and well here, so how could I travel back through time for no apparent reason?
This is impossible, absolutely impossible!

He slowly forgot about it and became more and more integrated into his new life, until now - he looked at his wife Han Xixi, who was sitting in front of the dressing table. She was gentle, lovely and radiant. Even though he was obviously very busy, she would turn her head from time to time to meet his eyes, and then suddenly blink her left eye and smile sweetly and playfully.

Lin Xiao was amused and burst out laughing, which attracted the attention of several staff members.

He quickly suppressed his expression and regained his composure.

Suddenly I had a thought: What if, what if I really have the chance to wear it back, I will definitely not leave!

Xixi's rehearsal ended quickly.

Because she is neither a superstar who needs to calm the crowd and find emotions, nor a newcomer who is promoted by the program team with capital investment, so her performance tonight is just to fill the time, and the program team can't give her too much attention.

Xixi doesn't care and is happy to be a transparent person.

In this way, "everyone is busy but I am idle", and I stayed there until 8 o'clock in the evening, when the final performance of "The Sound of Life" finally officially started live broadcast.

This season, the online attention paid to "The Sound of Life" is actually not as high as the previous two seasons.

It's funny to say that after cataloguing the entire season, the episode with the highest popularity and the most hot searches were actually the two episodes when Xixi's grandmother was seriously ill and dying.

At that time, the entire network was either scolding Han Xixi for being a big shot, missing one episode or leaving early.

Or they would cry when listening to her song "Dark Sky", and then curse her while crying for being so lucky to marry such a rare musical genius like Ma Yao.

The popularity of those two episodes made this season of the show really popular.

In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that Han Xixi is the benefactor of this season's program, but the program crew and director refuse to admit this, and in the last episode they even sacrifice Han Xixi's shots to promote a newcomer.

All I can say is that if you don’t have a background in the entertainment industry, no matter how talented you are, you can only be a helper.

Xixi didn't care about it. She was looking forward to going to the night market hand in hand with her husband after the performance. Although her husband would definitely not let her eat, just taking a walk and smelling the fragrance would be fine.

Han Xixi's appearance order was arranged very late.

Although she is not the protagonist tonight, the program crew will not give up the opportunity to ride on her popularity.

Many netizens came just for her. The earlier she appeared, the earlier these viewers would close the live broadcast channel, which would lead to a sharp drop in the ratings.

The program crew would never do such a stupid thing.

Therefore, Han Xixi's appearance was arranged almost at the end of the performance.

She waited with peace of mind, watching other singers' performances with interest, and felt very contented.

If it weren't for the real-time camera capture, Lin Xiao couldn't stay in the dressing room, she would be more comfortable here.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the closing live performance reached one climax after another.

Han Xixi has not appeared yet, but the calls for her in the barrage are getting louder and louder, and many viewers have been asking when Han Xixi will appear.

It was already 10 o'clock in the evening.

Only three groups of singers have yet to appear.

The host conducted a wave of online interaction. Seeing that the name "Han Xixi" was mentioned repeatedly in the barrage area, he excitedly said: "I see that many people are looking forward to Han Xixi, so next, everyone will have a feast for the ears. The next song to be sung is Miss Han Xixi's work, and the song is called "The Magic of Love". Let's applaud and welcome the performing singer to the stage! ”

The heroic shout immediately triggered two waves of cheers on site and online.

The barrage area was filled with surprise and anticipation, and it was obvious that no one expected Han Xixi to be able to sing her own work on the stage of the final season of "The Voice of China".

Because other singers all adapt their songs, even the biggest superstars are no exception.

Only Han Xixi sang his own song!

The fans were so excited that the screen was filled with the words "The Magic of Love". Some fans also explained that this song was written by Han Xixi and her husband, and it has great significance!

Passersby who didn't know the inside story were also excited, and the barrage area became more and more lively and cheerful, as if it was New Year's Day.

However, backstage, Han Xixi, who was on high alert in the dressing room, was completely stunned.

The stage announced that the next song would be "Magic of Love".

But as the original singer, she was still in the dressing room, and it would be too late even if she ran onto the stage now.

What's even more outrageous is that the song she prepared for tonight was not this one!
For a moment, she was a little dazed.

Was it that something went wrong on the stage, or did she remember the program schedule incorrectly and rehearse the wrong piece?

I still don’t understand.

A staff member knocked on the door and asked her to go backstage and get ready, as she would be the next to perform on stage.

Han Xixi wanted to find his agent to ask for clarification, but when he went out and looked around, he found that Zhou Hui was not there, only Lin Xiao and Chen Jiajia were at the door.

Han Xixi looked at Lin Xiao, his eyes full of confusion and uneasiness.

Lin Xiao was actually not here.

He found a place to rest, then watched the live broadcast on his mobile phone, waiting for his wife to appear.

When he heard the host announce the four words "The Magic of Love", he jumped up immediately, realizing that something was wrong.

Because his wife told him last night what the song he would sing in the last episode was called, and it wasn't his own song.

and.

Xixi also said that in the last episode, the production team would suppress her shots to give newcomers more opportunities to perform.

On this point, she and the program team have reached a tacit understanding.

As compensation, the program team gave her the opportunity to sing solo, while other singers had to sing in chorus of two or three people, and only the three supporting superstars had this treatment.

Because it had been arranged in advance, there was no possibility of temporarily changing the song to "The Magic of Love".

Because this song is so popular and it is well known on the Internet that Han Xixi and her husband wrote it together, the popularity of the song itself plus the popularity of their relationship make it an absolute hit no matter what stage it is sung on.

Since the program team wanted to promote a new artist, they would never arrange for her to sing this song, otherwise they would only shoot themselves in the foot.

Combining these clues.

It only took Lin Xiao a second to sort out all his thoughts and realize that his wife had been tricked by the program crew.

The next second, two people came out on the stage holding hands.

The man is Taiwan singer Dong Li, and I don’t know the woman. The subtitles show her name is Zhong Jiawen, and it seems that she is the newcomer that the program team is forcing to promote.

The barrage section exploded with all kinds of exclamations.

But Lin Xiao understood - the purpose of the program team was achieved, and the effect of going viral was comparable to that of ten thousand cameras shooting at his face.

He quickly left his resting place and came to the door of his wife's dressing room.

It just so happened that Han Xixi was being led out by the staff, preparing to go on stage.

He noticed his wife's panic and confusion, and nodded quickly and gave her a reassuring look.

Xixi calmed down instantly.

Follow the staff to the backstage to prepare for the next song on stage.

This is not the time to get to the bottom of things or to act on impulse.

She is a professional singer.

No matter what the program crew was doing, whether it was an accident or intentional, no matter how they got the copyright of this song without her, the original singer.

just now.

The audience has expectations for her and netizens are calling for her, so she has to go on stage no matter what!
And you have to go on stage with the best attitude!
