Mad Dog - Chapter 25

    Zhiqi went to the studio for the second time to find Jiang Qi a week later. She greeted him in advance, and Qiu Mi personally picked him up at the entrance of Hengdian.

    The little assistant still had a festive smile on her baby face, she came up and apologized for deceiving Zhiqi last time,

    “It’s all right.” Zhiqi smiled good-naturedly and asked him, “Is Jiang Qi filming?”

    “Not yet, now it’s the stage of studying the script.” Qiu Mi replied obediently, flicking her eyes to Zhixi’s arms holding a box, so she was very discerning and took the initiative to reach out to help: “Miss Zhi, let me hold it for you.”

    Now Jiang Qi has signed a contract with Chen Ding, and Qiu Mi has also become a ‘temporary assistant’ and has become an official assistant.

    He knew that the girl in front of him was the treasure in Jiang Qi’s heart, and he must be in a hurry to please him. After all, he would have to hang out with Jiang Qi in the future.

    It is common for boys to help girls carry things. Zhiqi has been treated as ‘others help with luggage’ since the first day of college. She saw that Qiu Mi insisted, Not even polite to her.

    The box is not heavy, Qiu Mi weighed it and asked in the elevator to avoid embarrassment: “Miss Zhi, what are you holding?”

    “Just call me Zhiqi.” The title of ‘Miss Zhi’ was a bit too formal. Zhixi listened awkwardly and explained with a chuckle: “It’s something for Jiang Qi.”

    “For Brother Qi?” Qiu Mi was really curious now, he couldn’t help laughing: “What is it?”

     “

    Anyway, it would accumulate dust in her place, and Zhiqi silently made excuses for herself.

    But after Qiu Mi heard it, she couldn’t help laughing, Jiang Qi…using electronic products?

    “Miss Zhi, you may have misunderstood.” Qiu Mi still called her Miss Zhi, smiled and said, “Brother Qi, he doesn’t use electronic products at all, and he doesn’t even use mobile phones very much. Weibo and WeChat were just downloaded a few days ago, so the mobile phone is similar to the old man’s phone.”

    Zhi Qi was stunned for a moment, and then she asked hesitantly, “Jiang Qi…why not?”

    “I don’t know either.” Qiu Mi shrugged: “Maybe Brother Qi doesn’t like it very much. He usually sleeps when he has nothing to do and doesn’t look at his mobile phone, but recently it may be because of you, Look more diligently.”

    In fact, Jiang Qi even looks like an internet addict recently.

    Qiu Mi is also a good person and knows what to say.

    While speaking, the elevator went up to the eighth floor of Hengdian and stopped.

    Different from the noisy and cluttered environment on the lower floors, the eighth floor is a trial room, more like a huge first-floor office. It happened that everyone went to eat at noon, and it was quieter here.

    Zhixi heard what Qiu Mi had just said, her mood was fluctuating, and he was taken by the side door to the trial reading room of the “Pride Si” crew.

     Gently opening the door, I saw Jiang Qi leaning on the sofa and closing his eyes, the boy didn’t know if he fell asleep, but he was very quiet and well-behaved.

    Zhi Qi was surprised to find that Jiang Qi seemed to have lost a lot of weight in just a week compared to the last time we met.

    The boy was wearing a black shirt and beige trousers, leaning on the sofa and looking like he was almost bone-dead-because Jiang Qi himself was very thin, but now he seems to be malnourished and his face is pale sharp.

    “Here, Jiang Qi.” Zhiqi suddenly became anxious, walked over and stood in front of Jiang Qi and asked, “Why have you lost so much weight?”

    Jiang Qi opened his eyes and saw the girl’s plain white face with undisguised anxiety.

    Jiang Qi’s eyes were dim, and he forced a smile when he saw her.

    Qiu Mi hadn’t left yet, when she heard the words, she quickly explained: “Miss Zhi, don’t get me wrong, Brother Qi is losing weight.”

    “What fat are you losing?” Zhixi became even more angry when she heard this, looking at Jiang Qi and said angrily, “You’re already skinny enough?”

    What is going on in this world now? Boys lose weight harder than girls!

    Or because the entertainment industry is like this? What’s so good about being skinny like a ghost? Zhiqi stared at Jiang Qi, and said sweetly, “No more.”

    “The script requires it.” Jiang Qi shook his head, indicating that he did not deliberately want to lose weight ‘for the sake of beauty’, and smiled helplessly: “Before the end of the month, I have to lose ten pounds.”

    So there seems to be no other way but to lose weight by starving.

    In fact, Jiang Qi is already very thin, but Chen Si in the script is a person who controls his weight almost like a pervert, with a body like “willow”, and even a bit morbid appearance.

    Qu Heng made an assessment and let Jiang Qi lose another ten pounds.

    Jiang Qi is the kind of personality that either won’t take the show, and since he takes over, he will be very dedicated.

    So he has no objection to Qu Heng’s request, just lose weight silently.

    After hearing the cause and effect, Zhixi felt distressed and a little helpless.

    “It’s all right.” Jiang Qi was reluctant to see her worrying about himself. After sitting up a little, he pretended to be calm and said, “Actually, I’m not very hungry.”

    “Now it seems that your actors are really not good enough.” Zhixi sighed, thinking that the stars on the TV network are all glamorous and beautiful, but the hard work behind them is not enough. It’s very human – she can’t do anything about starving to lose weight in the first place.

    The girl turned slightly sideways, took out a compressed biscuit from the bag she was carrying, and handed it to Jiang Qi.

    “Here, I always have this.” Zhixi smiled: “Is it alright to eat a compressed biscuit?”

    When she was a sophomore, she often followed the school’s experimental team on ‘business trips’, and went to the mountains in various cities to observe animals. And don’t bring too much cumbersome food.

    Over time, Zhiqi developed the habit of keeping a few compressed biscuits in her bag.

    Jiang Qi took it and ate it, and his stomach gradually felt a little full.

    The boy’s eyes became much clearer, and he quietly watched Zhiqi like a small animal carrying food, constantly stuffing him with snacks, compressed biscuits, and buns for hunger relief…

    But Jiang Qi looked at it and suddenly asked: “Xiqi, do you often not eat well?”

    It stands to reason that people who have three regular meals a day will not have these things in their bags.

    Zhixi didn’t expect Jiang Qi’s observation ability to be so strong, and paused.

    After a while, she smiled and shook her head: “Why, I’m not like you, I’m very disciplined.”

    She just didn’t eat well when she went to other places with her tutor. She was usually quite regular, so there was no need to say it to make Jiang Qi worried.

    —It is easy for teenagers to worry too much when it comes to her affairs.

    Zhi Qi didn’t want to continue this topic, so she simply opened the box she brought, took out the applewatch and put it on Jiang Qi.

    The girl’s slender fingertips carefully helped him to buckle, and then patted his wrist in the surprised eyes of the boy: “I will call or send you a message in the future, just use this I can get it.”

    However, the teenager who has been behind the society for several years does not know the function of this thing, and blinks in wonder: “Isn’t this a watch?”

    “It’s a watch, it’s a watch with more functions.” Zhixi smiled, and took out the wireless earphones to put on Jiang Qi: “This, don’t need to be plugged into the phone, you can wear it The script.”

    Speaking, Zhiqi took out the kindle and taught Jiang Qi how to use it, plausibly—

    “You can also read the script for this, and let the assistant guide you in. It’s not too difficult for your eyes.”

    …

    Jiang Qi had an inexplicable feeling that his entire body was ‘contracted’ by Zhiqi.

    The boy pursed his lips and said helplessly: “Xiqi, you don’t need to buy these for me.”

    Theoretically, he should have bought something for Zhiqi, why is it the other way around? It really shouldn’t be, Jiang Qi felt like he was useless the more he thought about it.

    “I didn’t buy it for you, it was someone else’s gift, I don’t need it.” Zhiqi was afraid that Jiang Qi would not accept it, and deliberately said it was indifferent: “Put it in my place. Let it go.”

    However, Jiang Qi’s focus is different from Zhiqi’s.

    He frowned when he heard the words, and was silent for a while before slowly asking: “Who gave you all these?”

    Zhixi didn’t hear his vague and soft question: “Huh?”

    Jiang Qi took a deep breath: “A boy or a girl?”

    …

    Zhixi couldn’t help laughing, and then she understood what he meant.

    This can be eaten with jealousy, and it really deserves to be Jiang Qi.

    “Girl.” The girl held back her laughter and coaxed him: “Girls are alright? Don’t worry, no boys give me anything.”

    Actually, Zhiqi is a bit of a lie—some people give it away, but she doesn’t accept it. But there is no way, don’t lie, she guessed that Jiang Qi would be jealous to the point of discomfort.

    However, the boy was a little unwilling.

    He muttered silently: “I want to give you something too.”

    I have never given Zhiqi anything decent. I used to be incapable of it. Even fifty dollars had to be saved for a long time before I could return it to Zhiqi.

    But it’s different now.

    Jiang Qi wants to give the girl a ‘unique’ gift, the kind that only he can give.

    In the blink of an eye, he suddenly thought of a very special thing.

     After pondering for a moment, Jiang Qi looked at the girl and asked, “Xiqi, can you accompany me to attend an… um, I forgot what award ceremony it was.”

    Yesterday, Shen Lei talked to him about this matter, and he rambled about how many times he won and what Weathervane Outpost might win the prize, and finally let him prepare well for a film festival to attend, but unfortunately Jiang Qi did not remember the name of the ceremony.

    Zhixi asked curiously, “What are you doing?”

     “Maybe what kind of award will I win.” Jiang Qi doesn’t care what kind of award he can win, he focuses on the operation after winning the award, the boy said seriously: “I will give you the trophy then .”

    This is something that only he has, no one else can give it to Zhiqi.

    And, it seems to be quite precious.

    Zhi Qi froze for a moment, then couldn’t help laughing.

    “Jiang Qi, why are you so naive.” The girl’s dark pupils curled up, smiling like a crescent moon, and looked at him softly: “Okay, I’ll accompany you.”

    Zhi Qi didn’t want Jiang Qi’s trophy, but felt that Jiang Qi would definitely win the award.

    And she wanted to be by his side to witness the moment when he won the award.
