Let's talk about it separately in Chapter 99.
"It's alright." Yan Xun thought for a moment, too lazy to go back to his own room, and simply sat down next to He Jinqiu.
He Jinqiu had a notepad on his lap with some scattered lyrics and inspirations written on it. Seeing Yan Xun sitting next to him, he propped his head up with interest and looked at Yan Xun, "What did you talk about?"
"He shared some secrets."
"The kind that's really boring."
Yan Xun briefly described the process of recording the variety show, as well as those secrets, "Some people even talked about how they ate an extra lunchbox from someone else when they were in middle school."
"What kind of secret is that?"
"So what's your secret?" He Jinqiu asked with some interest.
His hair was bleached to almost platinum blonde, and one side of his bangs was a bit long, covering his left eye—it was said that he had been injured when he was young, and his vision in that eye was poor, so he habitually covered it up.
As if oblivious to Yan Xun's scrutinizing gaze, he snuggled up to Yan Xun like a puppy, resting his head on Yan Xun's shoulder, "Please, Brother Yan Xun, tell me!"
"I can be your slave and do whatever you want with me."
He Jinqiu and Yan Xun are about the same age, only half a month apart in birthdays. Calling him "Brother Yan Xun" at this time is clearly a way of currying favor.
Ning Xinian had already stepped into his room, but when he saw Yan Xun and He Jinqiu sticking together in the living room, he felt uncomfortable all over.
—His relationship with He Jinqiu was quite ordinary.
This person seems quite polite, but has only a so-so relationship with everyone.
Perhaps because he shared a room with Yan Xun as soon as he joined the group, their relationship was relatively closer.
Can……
Ning Xinian frowned as he looked at He Jinqiu, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, with one hand on the sofa cushion and the other on the back of the sofa behind Yan Xun.
Is it because he's doing too much business now that he sees everyone as a potential customer?
Why did he feel that He Jinqiu and Yan Xun were a little too close?
Thinking of this, Ning Xinian felt that as the team leader, he had a responsibility to stop this ambiguous relationship between colleagues. So he didn't go into the room, but simply went back to the living room and sat down on the other side of Yan Xun.
"What are you talking about?"
He Jinqiu seemed not to have expected Ning Xinian to interfere.
He glanced at Ning Xinian with some surprise.
"We were talking about your variety show."
He remained motionless in that position. "What secrets have you revealed?"
“I’ll say whatever he says,” Yan Xun said, turning the conversation to Ning Xinian who was standing to the side.
Ning Xinian hesitated upon hearing this... He glanced at Yan Xun, then at He Jinqiu, before finally saying, "I was the one who got friend-zoned by my neighbor when I was in elementary school."
It's fake. Ning Xinian thought, anyway, the production team won't reveal who these secrets belong to.
Yan Xun knew Ning Xinian was lying. He chuckled inwardly and said, "So this is your secret?"
"My secret is that I'm actually afraid of ghosts."
Like Ning Xinian, Yan Xun also chose to reveal a secret from the show.
Unlike Ning Xinian, he genuinely didn't know what his secret was, nor what the original owner had written.
Everyone thinks I'm very brave, a well-known tough guy among my friends, but only I know that I'm terrified of ghosts. Even now, when I type the word "ghost," I'm filled with fear.
He Jinqiu stared at Yan Xun in disbelief. "Really?"
"But didn't we watch a horror movie together?"
Yan Xun: "..."
"I'm just pretending to be strong," Yan Xun said casually. "Didn't I say I'm a well-known tough guy in my circle of friends?"
Ning Xinian remained silent.
He could tell that Yan Xun, like himself, had chosen a secret from the show to make up, but he himself couldn't reveal that secret.
What about Yan Xun?
And why?
Could it be that he wrote the secret that shocked everyone?
As they were talking, the dormitory door opened again... and their manager, Brother Bai, appeared in the dormitory.
The other person was wearing a shawl collar suit and looked like he had just returned from some cocktail party. His previously meticulously styled hair was now somewhat disheveled. Yan Xun remembered that this Brother Bai had also been an artist before becoming their group's manager.
But later he found that he was more interested in working behind the scenes, so he stepped back from that role.
"What are you talking about?" Brother Bai asked, loosening his tie slightly.
Where is Xiao Zheng?
“He said he was going to buy something,” Yan Xun said.
Brother Bai looked at Yan Xun, "You're ordering him around again?"
Yan Xun raised his hands, "I'm innocent! This time it really was him who wanted to buy things."
After the driver parked the car in the underground garage, Xiao Zheng told Yan Xun and the other person that he was going to buy some things and would be able to come up later.
Song Baiyuan didn't pay any attention to what he heard. He glanced at the three people sitting on the sofa and Ning Xinian sitting next to Yan Xun, and said, "Not bad."
"You were on a TV show..." He found a chair and sat down. "Your relationship seems to have improved a bit."
"but."
“I hate it when people keep things from me.” He looked at Yan Xun and the other two.
“If someone is hiding something from me, I hope they will confess on their own rather than me having to find out.”
Yan Xun knew he was talking about the sister-in-law incident... but there are still two people in the group who are not here. Could it be that Song Baiyuan already knows that the person with the sister-in-law is among them?
Ning Xinian was the team leader and usually communicated with Song Baiyuan more. After hearing what Song Baiyuan said, he simply asked, "Are you talking about the sister-in-law incident?"
Song Baiyuan did not refute.
"Is it one of the three of us?" He Jinqiu asked directly, pointing to himself. "Otherwise, why would you only tell us?"
“I’ve already spoken to those two individually on the phone once.”
The remaining two members of the group were either attending fashion week or filming on set. With so many people around, Song Baiyuan only gave a brief explanation over the phone.
"Fortunately, they will be back in a few days."
Song Baiyuan looked at the group of people and said, "I will hold another meeting later."
At this point, Song Baiyuan looked at Yan Xun again.
“Let’s talk privately.”
……
Yan Xun closed the bedroom door and looked at Song Baiyuan sitting in the chair, unsure of the other's attitude.
According to the forum's information, although Song Baiyuan is the group's manager, he wields immense power within the company and the industry (?), making him extremely difficult to deal with.
Once he assumes you're the one with a sister-in-law, you'll be killed without mercy!
Thinking of this, Yan Xun quickly saved his game.
Then he stood by the bedroom door and looked at Song Baiyuan sitting in his chair. He shared a room with He Jinqiu, but the furnishings in the room were still clearly separate, which meant that their relationship was not as good as outsiders thought.
Seeing Yan Xun standing so far away from him, Song Baiyuan sighed, a rare occurrence for him.
He still smelled slightly of alcohol; he had drunk some at the party, though not to the point of being drunk, but he was feeling a bit unwell.
Song Baiyuan rubbed his temples with his knuckles, feeling a bit of a headache. He looked at Yan Xun and couldn't help but say, "Aren't you going to come over and give me a head massage?"
Yan Xun: "...?"
Not bro? What's with that tone?!
Since Yan Xun had been standing there without moving, Song Baiyuan finally looked up, looked at Yan Xun, and sighed.
Are you really angry with your uncle?
