Chapter 219
Eight years had passed since Xi Ze debuted.
He might be only 26 years old but his semi-retirement attitude caused the fans to have a bad feeling in recent years. The fans would support Xi Ze no matter what he chose. If he chose to suddenly retire, they would wish Xi Ze the best for his future.
This type of thing could be accepted in the mind, but once it became a reality, even the optimistic fans found it a bit sad and unacceptable.
【 I started to like Xi Ze when I was in high school and now I am already a mother. I am one year younger than Xi Ze but he is my teenage dream. Now I am seeing him live better and better. I am really happy but I think he will retire from the industry in the future. I am really sad T^T 】
【 @Xi Ze has never mentioned retiring but I can see that day isn't far away. 】
【 I liked @Xi Ze in the Ji and Ya high-end show but I will support him no matter when he leaves the catwalk! This performance is really amazing. The video of the high-end show hasn't come out yet but when I saw the photos, I saw that God Xi is still my god! 】…
For any supermodel, two years of inaction was absolutely fatal.
Xi Ze held the Ji and Ya global spokesperson contract and was also the world's fashion godfather. Otherwise, he would've been pulled down from the throne a long time ago and probably even removed from the supermodels list.
It was really difficult to balance the identity of a designer and supermodel. It was also difficult to take into account the identity of chief designer for the world's top luxury brand and first ranked male supermodel.
In the first few years, Xi Ze and his team never said anything but the fans could see that their god was really tired.
That's why they didn't say anything when Xi Ze didn't take on any jobs for two years. They gradually turned into designer fans and some even chose a design major because they liked him.
Suddenly taking so many resources after a two year empty window, any person would think in a certain direction.
That's why in one day, the #Xi Ze Retirement# topic reached the top three of Weibo and there were all types of discussions in Baidu.
As for Xi Ze's Muse fan forum, it now had more than 43 million fans. Fortunately, the moderators placed restrictions and asked people to wait for news, otherwise the fans would've already started to talk.
Due to the relationship between Xi Ze and Ming Yu, many fans of Xi Ze also went to Ming Yu's Weibo and fan forum to ask Ming Yu if Xi Ze was retiring. This mentality was understandable to individuals so the mushroom fans didn't blame them. Instead, a post was opened where this matter could be discussed.
The controversy continued until early morning of the next day, when Ming Yu posted a message on his Weibo and fan forum.
【 Ming Yu: He dares to leave now? I won't allow it! Didn't you say you would wait for me @Xi Ze? 】 One hour after that, the man replied:
【 Xi Ze: I will be waiting for you @Ming Yu 】
After a few minutes, the fans were just feeling moved when the man unexpectedly posted something else.
【 Xi Ze: Hey, it is late. Sleep @Ming Yu. 】
Everyone, '…Oh my god, would he die if he didn't show love?!! （┙>∧<）┙へ┻┻!!!
Ming Yu's message caused the fans to recall the event two years ago.
Unconsciously, two years had passed. Two years ago, many of them didn't know who Ming Yu was. Most people ridiculed Ming Yu for being too arrogant and daring to say he would go beyond Xi Ze.
Now many of them had become Ming Xiaoyu's fans and the man he threatened to surpass had become his lover.
Perhaps the two originally unrelated people were currently doing @#＄@#＄@#＄#! In any case, it was a show of love!
Time was fleeting.
This evening, the two men dropped a big piece of news and ran away, making the fans unable to sleep. They ran very well. After Xi Ze said to 'sleep', the two of them really didn't appear. The fans started to recall the past.
【 When I saw someone who dared to speak about surpassing God Xi on a talk show, I thought this child was a newborn calf and not afraid of the tiger called God Xi. Two years ago, Xi Ze had just taken an advertisement for Ji and Ya. I didn't expect that after that, Xi Ze didn't set foot in the supermodel circle for two years. 】
【 At that time, I said that Ming Xiaoyu wanting to go beyond Xi Ze was just a fool's dream. Oh, I am already a mushroom fan so don't hit me QAQ. I just ordered the latest Muse so I can lick Small Mushroom again… 】
【 At that time, I was about to graduate and now I'm married. Two years have passed so quickly. Ming Xiaoyu really became the second ranked supermodel in the world rankings and he is married to God Xi… 】
【 LS Fight me! It is Xi Ze who is married to Small Mushroom!! 】
【 Why are you fighting? God Xi and Small Mushroom are both mine!!! 】…
When you met someone you could hold hands with for decades, some people would have a wonderful feeling. This could be called love at first sight. Most people thought that nothing happened but they didn't expect the love to be so vigorous and deep in the heart.
It was like the first meeting between Xi Ze and Ming Yu. One man had soup spilt on him and washed his hands carefully for a full 10 minutes. During this process, the youth's intrusion was just a trivial episode. However, their life trajectories started to overlap.
In the past year, Xi Ze rarely made the suggestion about Ming Yu being his own model, even though the idea was still in his heart. Now that he had his muse as a lover, he could see Ming Yu all the time and there was no need to be a special model.
The initial meeting of the two people was inseparable to who they were now.
If Xi Ze hadn't heard the name 'Ming Yu' from Master Fei's mouth, he wouldn't remember the name in his heart. If he didn't see the youth and knew who he was, he wouldn't have cared about this youth later.
『 The person I most want to go beyond is Xi Ze. 』
『 I liked Xi Ze before entering this industry. He is my motivation for entering the fashion industry and made me want to be a model. Every time I feel tired, I think about when I saw Xi Ze's endorsement of the 'Red Poppy' perfume. He is my goal in this industry. I will continuously work hard and even if I can never go beyond him, I would like to look up at him. 』
『 I'll wait for you. 』
……
Once the fans thought about this, they discovered a big secret and couldn't help feeling,: 【 My god, I also liked God Xi for so many years. Why couldn't I marry God Xi? （>＿<）!!! 】 Of course, a long time ago, Xi Ze took to Weibo to ask Xiaoyu if his words on the talk show were a lie. Did Ming Yu really like Xi Ze and enter the industry because of him?
The answer was self-evident.
The youth laughed as he looked down at the man. "I entered the industry because of you? Your face is this -＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿- big!"
The man hummed casually at Ming Yu's answer and said "I don't know how big my face is. But you should be the clearest about how big 'I' am." This was followed by the shy mushroom cooking process. The scent that could only be smelt and couldn't be eaten really made other people jealous～
But the fans killed by dog food naturally didn't know these things. A group of skills masters started to write and draw stories about the story that started two years ago!
At that time, there was a lovely little mushroom who wanted to become the tallest plant in the model forest. He wanted to go beyond the forest's tallest metasequoia. He was laughed at by many small stones and shells. But this small mushroom didn't give up and tried hard to move forward.
Once the metasequoia see this silly and cute small mushroom, his heart was moved and the two slowly came into contact with each other. They came into contact and the metasequoia said, "Small Mushroom, your body is so soft. I like it."
The small mushroom said, "Metasequoia, you are very tall. I also like it."
The metasequoia immediately nodded. "If you like me then become my wife. I can show you the more distant scenery. Come on, sit on my shoulder. Only you can sit on my shoulder."
Cough, for the time being, let's not mention about whether a certain man had a back door for his lover's convenience. This story was too good～
Soon there was a bunch of metasequoia x small mushroom stories.
It was the middle of the night so only Luo Ru saw these things when managing the forum. Luo Ru immediately blushed with shame but the small mushroom was really soft and fat. Therefore, Luo Ru kept a few pieces while deleting others.
Meanwhile, Xi Ze was sleeping with his mushroom and didn't know how hard the fans were working.
The next day, Ming Xiaoyu saw the works that filled the forums, Weibo and Baidu and kicked a man off the bed. "Your pot, your shoulder!"
Xi Ze was scolded for a while but Ming Yu didn't feel less angry.
Then at Xi Ze's signal, Ding Bo issued an announcement on Xi Ze's fan forum that there was no clear plan for retirement, please don't worry.
At this time, after waiting a full week, the video of Ji and Ya's July high-end show was finally released!
Chapter 220
The first confrontation, the second time was Ming Yu's joke while the third time was the collar clip exchange.
Once the Ji and Ya video came out, the fans were stunned for a long time. A large number of single dogs and even non-single dogs screamed a the show of love. There were also many experienced fans who carefully analyzed the fashion show and gave some comments.
【 Alido Xiao Li: This time I was fortunate enough to attend the Ji and Ya high end show. I have to saw that the two years of preparation made this Ji and Ya menswear show very good. The theme of 'gentleness of elegance' was incomprehensible at first. But throughout the show, whether it is the jackets round, the casual collection or the formal clothing, all of them contain Ji and Ya's unique elegance. Yet they also contain a rare softness. 】
【 Xu Chaoyang manda: I lived @Xi Ze for many years but he has decided to become a photographer. Xi Ze hasn't walked in any high-end show for two years but he was really amazing this time. Many people who doubted his strength is forced to shut their mouths, including me. I can't believe that there is a supermodel who can show such amazing strength after two years of nothing. Of course, this is my most respected idol, Xi Ze's strength. 】
【 Falling VIVIAN: Since Nidelan's May fashion show, I have become @Ming Yu's fan. Ming Xiaoyu's three outfits, the first is an orthodox jacket, the second is a more casual sweater and the third is my favourite outfit. Ming Xiaoyu is very suitable for extreme colours, such as the bright yellow sweater. This is something that many people can't control but Ming Yu perfectly interpreted it. In this fashion show, I think that Small Mushroom's performance isn't inferior to @Xi Ze. Of course, they are originally husband and wife ╮（╯▽╰）╭ . Finally, I want to say: Come on, give me the golden dog food! 】…
In recent years, more fresh blood had been injected into the fashion industry, making this industry have the atmosphere of young people.
The video recorded the scene of the Ji and Ya fashion show, making many people curious about it become greatly shocked.
So many world-class supermodels competing in the same field!
This was really shocking!
Before the video released, most people were worried about Ming Yu and Xi Ze's situation. The order of the two of them was too close and the world rankings were also close together. One was first, the other was second, and they were a couple!
Ming Xiaoyu's fans were still modest. After all, Xi Ze's dominance in the scene was still vivid. Even if he didn't appear in a show for two years, wasn't a thin camel still bigger than a horse? What could they do if compared to Xi Ze, Ming Yu was a little bit worse? Wouldn't the sunspots start taunting him?
Xi Ze's fans were also relatively modest. They were active in the supermodel circle and had an attitude of 'you know nothing about Xi Ze' when new models wanted to go beyond Xi Ze. However, now Xi Ze hadn't walked in a show for two years. If he was worse than his wife… how sad would it be!
However, the fans didn't expect that in this show, the performance of the two people would be equal! One was cold and noble, the other was beautiful and elegant. One had an indifferent atmosphere, while the other was delicate and feminine.
It was clearly two different styles but there was a strange unity.
The fan circle made a careful analysis and came to a conclusion.
『 Reach the pinnacle 』.
There was an old saying that all roads lead to Rome. Then 360 lines going to the top… wait, this amount wasn't right.
The general meaning was that Xi Ze and Ming Yu's styles were basically different. After all, every model had their own unique temperament. But they already had the strength to reach a certain level and once they reached this state, they could exchange with each other.
When these two competed on the same stage, both of them were dazzling and brilliant. It didn't feel like one side lost to the other and they were somewhat similar in one respect: they reached the pinnacle.
The Ji and Ya fashion show was held in the second week of Huaxia Fashion Week. After that many second-tier, first-tier and top fashion brands held their own fashion shows. Ming Yu was invited to participate in a few top brand show as well as some first-tier shows.
Many people were surprised that at this time, Ming Yu unexpected participated in the Sixin fashion show and also served as the finale model.
Sixin was first-tier in the world but it was a relatively new and weaker first-tier brand.
For the first-tier big names, the top 10 models in the world were difficult to get. It was because the price of these models were high and they rarely participated in a first-tier brand.
Although there were more than a dozen high-end studios in the world, twenty or thirty were top brands. In such circumstances, Ming Yu unexpectedly walked in the Sixin show. This was definitely giving face to Fei Sixin but also made many people aware that the strongest newcomer seemed very human.
Ming Xiaoyu wasn't a kind-hearted person in the conventional sense. But once someone was put into the 'friends' category, he would treat them relatively honestly.
And in Ming Xiaoyu's heart, he didn't think that taking a first-tier brand's fashion show could lower his ranking. On the contrary, the supermodels worried about lowering their value with first-tier and second-tier brands weren't stable in the first place.
Of course, Small Mushroom wouldn't casually agree if other first-tier brands asked him.
He was called Small Mushroom and not a saint. Why would he do something that would violate his principles?
The series of achievements made Ming Yu's reputation in Huaxia and in the world become higher. By the time it was August, the number of fans on Ming Yu's Muse website exceeded He Chaoman.
At the end of August, the total number of fans reached a terrible 36 million!
In addition to Ming Yu's strength, the surge in fans had a certain relationship with Xi Ze. The video of Ji and Ya's show and the two people's shameless interactions made a lot of fans switch to becoming CP fans.
The relationship between the two people had been revealed for half a year. Those who were saddened by the situation at the beginning should've awakened from their lovelorn grief by now. Moreover, Ming Yu and Xi Ze really matched. Even if they were depressed and wondered why they couldn't marry God Xi, once they heard someone say that Ming Yu wasn't worthy, they would immediately roll up their sleeves and take action.
【 If Ming Yu isn't worthy of God Xi then who is worthy? Didn't you see their videos, photos and interactions? It is a complete match! （╬▔皿▔） 】
Yes, if they didn't match well then the fans wouldn't be paralyzed by so much love. However, it was precisely because the youth chosen by their god was too good that the fans couldn't let go of their jealousy.
Have you seen someone who looked as good as Ming Xiaoyu?
No QAQ.
Was there someone with a better figure that Ming Xiaoyu?
No T^T.
Was Ming Xiaoyu approachable?
Don't doubt that Small Mushroom could be more patient and gentle than Mr. Xi.
Well, it was still a no _ (: З”∠) _.
No one looked as good as him, no one had a better figure and no one had such a good temper. Other models couldn't compare to his fame and social relations. It was totally impossible!
Even Ming Xiaoyu's fans helplessly complained: 【 My mushroom is good. He is so good that I feel like he isn't real… 】
At this time, someone raised a point: 【 Don't worry. Think about how he originally made tomato scrambled eggs! Think about how mushroom practiced 800 times to be decent in acting～～～ In fact, mushroom isn't a god! 】
In this case, the fan would be hit in the face two months later.
In November 2018, Xiao Biqing's new movie Midnight Singing was globally released.
A story set 200 years ago about a heroine called Ye Xiangchan. On the first day of release, the box office was quite high at 30 million. After all, it was a literary movie and about a sad part of the 17 year war. Many people went to watch it for Xiao Biqing or Ming Yu, not for the movie itself.
In the movie industry, the world's easiest movie to win an award was a literary movie with deep meaning!
However, if the movie was hypnotizing then could it still be called a literary movie?
The fans kept this in mind as they prepared drinks and snacks at the theatre, while carefully thinking about how to get through these three hours.
However! To their surprise, they were attracted to the movie 10 minutes after it started!
Whether it was the strong girl in the war who held her brother to escape the rain of bullets, the glamorous singer who sang in the big Shanghai hall or the thin boy who lay pale and sick in bed all day.
Ye Xiangchan and Ye Yang.
These two people were like roses who bloomed in the flames of war and who had been baptized with blood.
They were obviously the most ordinary people but they were caught by the enemy and tortured with a terrible punishment! The traitor who betrayed them didn't fall down but these two people fell in a mess of blood.
The sister was still singing when she died while the brother was still smiling when he died.
There was no intact skin but their tenacious hearts were always beating!
Thump, thump, thump!
At the end of the movie, Ye Yang crawled to the door of the ballroom and cried after seeing the showgirl poster. These cries caused cracks in his lips to form and blood to flow.
This blood invaded every inch of Huaxia's scorched earth.
In these 17 years of war, countless heroes devoted their precise lives to irrigated the new world with clean water. Most of them didn't survive the 17 year war and didn't see a shadow of hope, their names disappearing into the torrents of history.
Ye Xiangchan was lucky that at least her name was mentioned in the revolutionary's late memoirs.
However, her brother never had his name mentioned. The only thing that the revolutionary said in his memoirs was: 『 Xiangchan had a very beautiful little brother who looked as good as her. Her brother was very shy. He hid behind the door every day and secretly looked at me with big and bright eyes. He didn't dare speak to me. Despite being 17 years old, he only looked 14 or 15. 』
『 …When I found her brother, I heard that he had been cut by 1,435 knives. The flesh all over his body was gone and his eyelids cut off. In the end, those eyes were still the same… 』
『 Very big and bright. 』
『 I am sorry for many people in my life. However, I am most sorry towards Xiangchan's brother. 』
