Chapter 93: Love
As winter turns to spring, it seems that the weather will warm up overnight, and the trees will sprout tender green shoots.
Xi Xi has been studying music in Italy for four months, and she has lived a very fulfilling time in these four months, and the pleasure of wandering in the ocean of music has made her yearn for a career as a professional singer more and more.
In order to ensure that she could appear at Lin Wenxuan and Qiao Mingjue's wedding two months later, Xi Xi worked hard, except for occasional video calls with Lin Wenxuan, chatting about the current situation, and taking a look at Xi Ze, the rest of the time she spent on learning music, and the progress was fast, and she was praised by the teacher.
Wang Mengqian was also very pleased with the fact that Xi Xi still had a month to learn all the courses in advance.
In the second week after Xi Xi arrived in Italy, Wang Mengqian chased after him by plane, he put down all the work in his hand, and under the banner of wanting to go to Italy to feel a different atmosphere, go back to continue music creation, and found Xi Xi directly as soon as he landed.
He saw all Xi Xi's efforts, he was very glad that he had left her at the beginning, and he wanted to help her.
It's just that Wang Mengqian doesn't know that the girl he misses in his heart has already fallen in love with him in his heart.
On this morning, Xi Xi came out of class at the Conservatory of Music and saw Wang Mengqian waiting under the old locust tree at the school gate. Seeing Xi Xi walk out of the teaching building, Wang Mengqian smiled and beckoned to her gently.
Xi Xi smiled, quickened his pace and walked in front of Wang Mengqian, raised his head, and said in a brisk voice: "Why do you have time to come and wait for me today? Didn't you say that you were going to visit an old friend at noon today?"
"Oh, he had something to do for the time being, and our meeting was cancelled. Wang Mengqian took off the scarf wrapped around his neck, handed it to Xi Xi, and continued softly, "It's windy today, be careful not to catch a cold, put the scarf on first." What would you like to eat at noon? ”
"Oh, why are you suddenly courteous? Say, do you have something to do with me?"
Xi Xi wore a scarf while following Wang Mengqian forward, and his tone was extremely relaxed and pleasant.
To say that when he first came into contact with Wang Mengqian, Xi Xi would definitely not dare to joke with him like this. Wang Mengqian seems to be a very serious person, and before he knew him, Xi Xi really thought so, so he was careful every time he got along, for fear that he would be criticized and scolded by the other party for doing something wrong.
But after getting along for a long time, Xi Xi found that Wang Mengqian himself was not so serious and terrible at all.
He belongs to the kind of slow-burning temperament, and he likes to talk and laugh on weekdays, but sometimes what he says makes people feel a little serious, and some things are more direct, which makes people feel a little difficult to accept.
Just like now, Wang Mengqian's words simply made Xi Xi cry and laugh.
"Well, I do have something to tell you about work, but I also have some personal matters to look for you, so I specially asked you to have lunch together. ”
Xi Xi stumbled and almost tripped over, but she barely held on and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Please eat, please eat, how can anyone invite a treat and say the purpose so directly?
If you were someone else, you would have been able to say something good about having a meal, and the person who was invited would have said something very good about it, and the person who was invited would have happily nodded in agreement. Fortunately, Wang Mengqian can really be regarded as a topic terminator.
Seeing that Xi Xi didn't speak for a long time, Wang Mengqian cleared his throat in embarrassment, pointed to a restaurant not far away, and asked softly: "I don't know what you usually like to eat, how about I take you to that restaurant to try?"
"Okay, this is the restaurant. ”
The two entered the restaurant one after the other, found a window seat and sat down, the waiter delivered the menu, Wang Mengqian smiled and pushed it to Xi Xi, "You can have it, you want to eat whatever you want, you don't have to be polite to me." ”
"Then I'm really welcome. What do you eat? Bolognese lasagha or cream bacon pasta?"
"I want a lasagna with meat sauce, and you can watch the rest. ”
Xi Xi nodded, not polite at all, and said to the waiter with a smile in fluent English: "A lasagna with meat sauce, a lemon risotto, a Tuscan toast, a potato ball, and two seafood soups, thank you." ”
The waiter left with the menu, and Xi Xi turned his head to look at Wang Mengqian and smiled slightly.
"Tell me, what's the urgency at work?"
Obviously, Wang Mengqian is Xi Xi's mentor for entering the industry, and she originally did what Wang Mengqian said she would, but now it seems to be the other way around, Xi Xi spoke first, as if Wang Mengqian had a request for her.
Wang Mengqian smiled and said unhurriedly: "There's nothing special, I just want to give you a notice." In view of your excellent grades, the company plans to arrange for you to participate in a brand endorsement activity in Nanjing after you finish studying music, and then go to Shanghai. ”
"Brand endorsement?"
"Well, it is said that it is a brand endorsement, but in fact, the company is not this purpose. Now there is a crew filming a new drama over there, the director is the popular Xia Junjie, this TV series is adapted from Yu Mu Xingchen's novel, which is very popular. I heard that Director Xia intends to choose a rookie singer to sing the theme song for the TV series, and the company means to let you go to him to get acquainted with him, recommend yourself, and naturally run around after the crew. ”
"But I said I was going back to my friend's wedding, so can't I wait?"
"Miss, time waits for no one, if you go late, the opportunity is someone else's. Wang Mengqian shook his head helplessly, and continued with a smile, "But you don't have to worry so much, I have already helped you think of a solution to this matter." ”
The waiter delivered the meal for the two, Xi Xi wiped his hands, looked at Wang Mengqian with bright eyes, and couldn't hide the joy in his voice: "Really, really, really?
"After I received the notice from the company, I contacted Director Xia himself by phone and recommended your debut album to him, which also explained our direct purpose. After some careful consideration by Director Xia, he decided to meet you in person and talk to you in detail. And coincidentally, on the day you returned to China, Director Xia happened to have an itinerary for Bihu City, and after discussion, it was decided that you would meet on that day. ”
Xi Xi picked up a piece of Tuscan toast and said while eating: "That's pretty good, then I'll go see him as soon as I go back and see if I can get this opportunity." Meng Qian, I really want to thank you for this matter. ”
"Don't thank me so much, I have another piece of good news for you. From now on, you will only work more and more, and you will become a qualified artist, and it is absolutely impossible to do without an agent. The head office decided that I would be your musician and manager. ”
Looking at Xi Xi, who was smiling so sweetly, Wang Mengqian's heart was also extremely relaxed.
Knowing that Xi Xi must have wanted to rush back to attend her best friend's wedding, Wang Mengqian tried his best to help her solve the matter of meeting with Director Xia. The process of making the phone call and discussing the meeting place was not as light as he said, but the ups and downs in the middle, the pays, he didn't want Xi Xi to know now, and he didn't want these to become Xi Xi's psychological burden.
After all, Xi Xi has just entered the entertainment industry, and he doesn't know a lot about many things here, so he doesn't want to watch her retreat and be afraid.
There are some things that can be said slowly later, but there are some things that you have to muster up the courage to do today.
Xi Xi ate happily, and when he saw that Wang Mengqian was motionless, he asked with a smile: "Why? Are you so reluctant to be my agent? Even if you are not happy, you have to eat, don't worry, I am a very capable person, and it will not be too hard for you to be my agent." ”
"Xixi, I'...... I have a private matter to tell you......"
Changing the relaxed appearance just now, Wang Mengqian suddenly became cramped and uneasy, he lowered his head, and his voice lowered a lot.
Xi Xi didn't care at all, picked up the spoon, and said while drinking the soup: "What's your personal matter? Shouldn't it be for me to help pick out gifts or something? I'm not very good at these, your circle is not the same as mine, I don't know about those brands or anything, I'm afraid I can't help." ”
"I'm not asking you to help you choose a gift, I'm trying to make you make a choice. Xi Xi, I like you, can we try to date?"
Wang Mengqian mustered up the courage to raise his head, looked directly at Xi Xi, and softly expressed the feelings hidden in his heart.
I don't know when it started, but his heart was getting closer to Xi Xi little by little. Whenever they work together, he always feels that time flies, and even when they sit together and enjoy the scenery, he feels that it will be a very satisfying thing.
Gradually, he understood that he had different feelings for her.
Wang Mengqian didn't know how Xi Xi thought of it, let alone how Xi Xi felt about him in his heart, but he spoke up bravely, maybe things would take a turn for the better, maybe Xi Xi would agree to him.
Xi Xi didn't have time to swallow a mouthful of soup, and was almost choked.
She hurriedly picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of her mouth, and raised her eyes in some surprise to meet Wang Meng Qian's affectionate gaze.
There was a deer in his heart that was bumping uneasily, Xi Xi hurriedly lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "What...... Why did you suddenly say that? Meng Qian, don't joke with me, I'll take it seriously. ”
Xi Xi has always had a very good impression of Wang Mengqian, and she also secretly developed feelings for him in her heart. But she also knew that how could a Cinderella like her be worthy of such an excellent Wang Mengqian?
But today, Wang Mengqian confessed directly like this, and Xi Xi didn't know what to do for a moment.
Seeing Xi Xi's uneasy appearance, Wang Mengqian was sure that Xi Xi also liked him.
He smiled, leaned forward, gently took her hand, crossed his fingers, tightly intertwined, and said softly: "I'm not joking, I'm asking you very seriously, I love you, are you willing to try to have a relationship with me?"
Xi Xi's face turned red, she nodded lightly, but immediately shook her head, making Wang Mengqian frown.
"You're nodding and shaking your head, are you willing or unwilling?"
"I ...... I'm sorry Meng Qian, I can't promise you. My career has just started, and there are clear rules in the company, if I fall in love now, it will be equivalent to ruining my future, I can't give up my dream, I'm really sorry......"
"That'...... I'll wait for you, and wait until the day you can promise me, and then we'll try to date, okay?"
was reminded by Xi Xi like this, Wang Mengqian also understood that this matter was indeed a bit tricky.
For a newcomer who has just debuted, fans and popularity are everything, if the paparazzi caught evidence of love at this time and the relationship was exposed, it would indeed have a great impact on Xi Xi's career.
What's more, Phantom Sheng clearly stipulates that newly signed artists are not allowed to fall in love for five years, and the contract will be terminated immediately once discovered.
Wang Mengqian is true that he loves Xixi, but he is not crazy enough to make her sacrifice. As long as she can give him a chance, he is willing to wait until the day when she can be with him.
Seeing that Wang Mengqian was so stubborn in wanting an answer from her, Xi Xi smiled and nodded lightly in agreement.
Wang Mengqian was so excited that he couldn't help but squeeze Xi Xi's hand and put a gentle kiss on the back of her hand.
Xi Xi didn't struggle, let him hold his hand, his heart was sweeter than eating honey, and he unconsciously held his hand gently.
Happiness comes so suddenly, and the strong heartbeat shows that this is what it feels like to be in love!
