As they were finishing their meal, the director quietly called Ling Shuangjiang away.
“Your agent contacted us in advance. She said that He Chun’s new media host wants to come over for an interview with you later, which will take two hours.”
Ling Shuangjiang nodded: "No problem. Do I need to wear makeup?"
The director glanced at it twice: "No need, just go without makeup."
While waiting, Ling Shuangjiang borrowed a phone, wanting to see how Wen Ai had photographed him.
After clicking on his profile, I found that Wen Nuan's photography skills were indeed quite good.
Especially her own faint smile as she turned around, the clever use of light and shadow, her simple white dress contrasting sharply with the bright and beautiful girl behind her, the color treatment and matching were excellent.
Upon learning that Ling Shuangjiang was preparing for an interview, Xie Wang was somewhat worried: "Do you understand these things? There are many tricks to interviews, and you have to be careful what the reporter says."
Cheng Jia scoffed from the side: "President Xie, surely not? Shuangjiang is a man of many minds, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to resolve Wen Nuan's situation so easily."
Xie Wang gave him a cold look, and Cheng Jia wisely shut up.
"He's too young and naive," Xie Wang said, still worried. "How about I go with you?"
Ling Shuangjiang suppressed a laugh: "You're following me? In what capacity? As a good friend?"
Xie Wang: "I have my own way."
Seeing Xie Wang's determination, Ling Shuangjiang indulged him, saying, "Fine, if you want to come, then come."
The news that He Chun was going to interview Ling Shuangjiang had already been publicized. As a currently popular celebrity, a large number of passersby flocked to the live broadcast room, wanting to see what this handsome and talented guy was like.
The host, named A Qiao, sat down in front of Ling Shuangjiang and looked at the man wearing sunglasses behind him with some trepidation.
The man was stern and tall, with a cold aura that made her worry he might pull out a gun at any moment.
Aqiao maintained her smile: "May I call you Frostfall?"
Ling Shuangjiang politely replied, "Of course."
A-Qiao tentatively pointed out, "Shuangjiang, could you please have your bodyguard leave for a moment? I'm worried he might scare the viewers once the live stream starts."
Ling Shuangjiang turned to look at Xie Wang: "Is it alright?"
Xie Wang replied with just two words: "No."
A-Qiao chuckled awkwardly, "It's fine if you don't want to leave..."
The live stream started, and a large number of netizens flooded into the live stream room instantly.
[Where is the handsome guy?! I want to see him in person!!]
[Where's Frost's Descent, little brother? Why is there only the host?]
[Frosty Brother Siha Siha, I am your 12 millionth fan.]
[Where's my beautiful wife? My new crush?]
A Qiao greeted everyone: "Hello everyone, this is A Qiao from He Chun's family. Today we are honored to have Ling Shuangjiang as our guest in the live broadcast room. Please let Shuangjiang say hello to everyone."
The camera pans to Ling Shuangjiang's face, and he smiles and waves: "Hello everyone, I'm Shuangjiang."
[Holy crap! It looks even better in motion than in photos!!]
[Is this without makeup? You look this good in person?]
[A certain website says he was a child star, and after looking at his childhood photos, I can confirm he's a spitting image of his parents!]
[Um...although the little wall on the Frostfall scene is really handsome, the bodyguard behind him is also so dashing!]
[That bodyguard is really handsome...and has a great physique.]
[Holy crap, this bodyguard has such a domineering CEO vibe! Are bodyguards this good-looking these days?]
At this moment, A Qiao spoke up: "As everyone knows, yesterday's set of He Chun promotional photos in the style of oil paintings went viral online. I want to ask Shuangjiang, what was the source of your design inspiration?"
Ling Shuang replied: "It comes from He Chun's brand philosophy and the temperament of its spokesperson. Both the brand and the spokesperson are brightly colored and carry a yearning for innocence and youthful vitality."
A Qiao sighed, "Indeed, that's our philosophy too. Actually, since last night, many netizens have gotten to know Shuangjiang, including myself. On behalf of the netizens, I would like to ask Shuangjiang some questions."
Ling Shuangjiang nodded: "Please speak."
A-Qiao asked, "Are you single now?"
Ling Shuangjiang nodded: "Mm."
Aqiao raised an eyebrow: "Looks like everyone has a chance."
At this moment, everyone noticed that the bodyguard behind Ling Shuangjiang moved.
A-Qiao then asked, "What do you like to do in your life? Do you prefer spending time alone or enjoying life with friends?"
Ling Shuangjiang paused for a moment: "Let's be alone. I prefer being by myself."
A-Qiao laughed: "Actually, it's quite common to see people with this kind of philosophy of life nowadays. They don't have many friends, and they're content with just a few close ones."
Ling Shuang glanced at the person behind her out of the corner of her eye and whispered, "Yes, I have one close friend."
A Qiao laughed in surprise: "Only one? It seems you two get along very well."
“Of course,” Xie Wang suddenly spoke from behind.
This statement attracted everyone's attention, including Ling Shuangjiang's.
A Qiao asked in surprise, "So?"
Xie Wang strode over to the sofa and sat down: "I am that friend."
Ling Shuangjiang suppressed a laugh: "Yes, he is."
Wow, I knew it! This bodyguard is super handsome; he's definitely got some serious connections.
[Wow? Could they be childhood sweethearts?]
[I heard that Shuangjiang (the character from the frost-covered tree) likes boys!!]
[Ahhh, I'm so excited! I think I've discovered something!]
[Um...could it be that they saw the Frost's Descent fire and came to ride its coattails?]
The more A Qiao looked at Xie Wang, the more familiar he seemed, especially after hearing him speak; she felt like she had seen him somewhere before.
She asked, "So you chose to become a bodyguard because of Frost's Descent?"
Xie Wang's voice was cold and clear: "Yes, temporary bodyguard."
A-Qiao maintained her smile: "Then, would it be convenient for you to take off your sunglasses and say hello to everyone?"
Xie Wang refused: "I cannot take off my sunglasses without my master's permission."
Ling Shuangjiang blushed from head to toe on the spot, and immediately said to Xie Wang, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xie Wang said calmly, "I'm not talking nonsense."
[Master? Master? Master?]
Am I overthinking this?
[I'd venture a guess: these two are cosplaying.]
[This minor celebrity is amazing for bringing her boyfriend on a live stream!]
With her years of hosting experience, Ah Qiao quickly took control of the situation, saying, "This gentleman is really humorous; he likes to joke around."
Ling Shuangjiang's smile was complicated: "He prefers watching movies like 'Young and Dangerous,' he's been brainwashed."
Xie Wang didn't understand what was wrong with what he had just said, to the point that Ling Shuangjiang and the host thought he was joking.
After thinking about it carefully, I think it's probably the word "master".
Perhaps I should say "boss"?
However, the difference is not significant.
A Qiao grew increasingly curious: "Perhaps this bodyguard has the heart of a young man!"
Ling Shuangjiang chimed in, "Yes, he was just joking."
Ajo asked again tentatively, "So, bodyguard, may you take off your sunglasses?"
This time, Xie Wang didn't make excuses and calmly took off his sunglasses.
At that moment, A Qiao finally remembered who this person was.
Her mouth formed an "O" shape: "You must be... President Xie?"
Xie Wang nodded: "Hello."
[General Manager Xie? Which General Manager Xie?]
[Oh my god, I was wondering why Shuangjiang and President Xie weren't in "Signals of Love"—they're right here! President Xie is the one from Xie's Hengtai.]
[Wow, what a domineering CEO!]
[So these two are a couple?]
[Wow! So her boyfriend is a domineering CEO!]
A Qiao is a little confused. She was already lucky to be able to quickly arrange an exclusive interview with Ling Shuangjiang, but she didn't expect it to be a buy-one-get-one-free deal!
She smiled and said, "So, Mr. Xie and Shuangjiang are good friends?"
Xie Wang nodded: "Yes, a very close friend."
A Qiao joked, "They really are very close, otherwise you wouldn't have come to be my bodyguard for Frost's Descent."
Ling Shuangjiang then explained, "He just wanted to come and play with me; it's not like this all the time."
Xie Wang: "I was worried about him, so I came along."
A Qiao's eyes had become meaningful. "I envy the friendship between you two."
Xie Wang gently put his arm around Ling Shuangjiang's shoulder and said to her, "Don't be envious. Sooner or later you will meet her too."
A-Qiao suppressed a laugh, her expression serious: "Yes!"
[I'm dying of laughter, is this guy an idiot?]
[This is my first time meeting Xie's Hengtai; I apologize for meeting them in this way.]
[@Xie's Hengtai, is your CEO this funny?]
