Chapter 208 Being targeted
How could Xie Qing not like it?!
It was just that I was a little shocked to see Huo Yunting wearing this kind of clothing for the first time.
However, the shock quickly turned into excitement, and their gazes uncontrollably drifted towards Huo Yunting—his muscles were accentuated by the lace corset, his abs rose and fell with his breath, and the metal buckles of his garter belts were faintly visible from the edge of his tight skirt...
He turned a perfectly good maid outfit into a seductive lingerie set, every taut line silently screaming with sexy tension—it was simply too much.
Xie Qing suddenly understood the fantasies of some people who are passionate about cosplay—this unconventional contrast is more potent than an aphrodisiac.
"pat-"
A drop of bright red blood fell onto the light gray cashmere carpet, spreading out in a dark, small flower pattern.
Xie Qing raised her hand and touched her nose in a daze. Her fingertips touched something warm and wet, and only then did she belatedly realize that she had a nosebleed.
Huo Yunting was clearly flustered. He hurriedly pulled out a tissue and carefully wiped Xie Qing's head while supporting the back of his head with his palm and leading him to sit on the edge of the bed.
Why is your nose bleeding?
He completely forgot that he was still wearing that ridiculous maid outfit, and knelt down on one knee in front of Xie Qing, his face full of worry, "Qing Qing, is anything wrong?"
Seeing Xie Qing shake her head, Huo Yunting was still worried. He was about to call the family doctor to come over when his wrist was grabbed. "I'm really fine, just a little fever."
Huo Yunting was so anxious that his brain completely shut down. "Why did you suddenly get so angry?"
The nosebleed had stopped. Xie Qing removed the blood-stained paper and looked at Huo Yunting, who was squatting in front of her.
From this overhead angle, the other person's kneeling posture resembled that of a submissive wolf king—disheveled hair hanging over his forehead, his beautiful waistline fully exposed, and his usually sharp eyes filled with worry, reflecting his own image.
Xie Qing licked her lips, then suddenly leaned forward, her deliberately lowered voice like a feather brushing against the heart, "Because... Tingting is dressed too provocatively."
A lewd smile curved his lips as his fingertips slid inside the open collar, tracing a circle on the other's rapidly beating heart. "You've successfully seduced me..."
This action immediately stirred up a pinkish, ambiguous atmosphere. Huo Yunting reacted, his face turning bright red as he stared intently at Xie Qing. His large hand slowly moved up her slender ankle, the silky smooth skin burning in his palm.
"So... Qingqing likes it, right?"
A low, husky voice, accompanied by scorching breath, drew closer step by step like a cheetah.
Xie Qing braced her hands on the velvet mattress, bent her long legs, and lightly touched Huo Yunting's shoulder with her toes, smiling and saying, "I only like you dressed like this."
Huo Yunting's breath hitched, then his voice boomed like a drumbeat. He grabbed the unruly foot, placed a kiss on the pale instep, and when he looked up, his eyes were filled with a terrifying lust.
Tonight... will undoubtedly be hot and sleepless...

Because he had promised Huo Yunting that he would spend time with him after filming wrapped, Xie Qing took an unprecedented long vacation of nearly half a month.
This is considered a luxury for him since he entered the industry—usually, even when he takes a break, it's only for three to five days at most.
After a leisurely holiday, a mountain of engagements came one after another. Xie Qing first traveled to three cities for four consecutive days to shoot an endorsement, staying in the studio from sunrise to late at night. Before she could even catch her breath, she plunged into a new film crew.
This time, the production team is the S+ level fantasy epic "Immortal Journey", which was arranged in advance. It is directed by Director Zheng, who has directed many hit dramas, and the screenwriter is a gold-medal screenwriter who has adapted several hit IPs. The team is impressive.
Xie Qing, as the male lead, joined the crew early and read the script with the other actors, gradually getting to know them. In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and "Immortal Journey" officially started filming.
During filming, Xie Qing's performance was impeccable—she delivered her lines flawlessly, her martial arts moves were fluid and graceful, and she even nailed the emotional scenes, which were usually the easiest to burst out laughing, in one take.
Strangely, the director always liked to call him to the dressing room for a private talk after the whole crew had finished filming.
At first, this well-known director in the industry simply acted like an elder, inquiring about Xie Qing's daily life or discussing the script.
Although Xie Qing found it abrupt, he didn't think much of it. However, as the number of "conversations" increased, he couldn't help but suspect that the other party had ulterior motives.
After all, scandals involving directors sexually harassing actors are commonplace in the entertainment industry. Even if the other party appears to be a caring director who is actually a good person, who knows what they really are behind the scenes?
……
The film set had gradually quieted down late at night. Xie Qing had just changed out of her costume and was about to leave when Director Zheng's voice suddenly came from behind her, "Xie Qing, stay for a moment."
Chu Luo sensed something was wrong amidst the frequent calls and spoke first, "Director Zheng, if there's anything you need to tell Young Master Xie now, you can say it here."
As she watched the crew members come and go, Zheng Xiao's smile froze for a moment. In her heart, she felt annoyed that her assistant was in the way, but on the surface, she smiled gently.
"It's nothing major... it's just that we need to discuss some details about tomorrow's scenes."
Xie Qing smiled faintly and replied selectively, "Director Zheng, since there's nothing serious, I'll head back now."
After saying that, she picked up her things and left briskly, the smile on her face vanishing the moment she turned her back to the director.
Leaving the photography studio and walking along the surrounding antique-style buildings for a while, then turning a corner, Xie suddenly caught a glimpse of a slender figure leaning against a vermilion pillar, smoking.
This person is none other than Ning Xingyao, the female lead of "The Immortal Path," a legendary figure in the entertainment industry who has been in the business for ten years and holds three Best Actress awards.
Hearing footsteps, she slowly raised her eyes, her bright and beautiful face appearing alluring under the lamplight.
Xie Qing greeted him, "Senior Ning."
Ning Xingyao parted her red lips slightly and exhaled a perfect smoke ring. "It's Xiao Xie."
She raised an eyebrow slightly. "Did Zheng Xiao keep you after school again?"
A cold glint flashed in Xie Qing's eyes. "He does want to stay."
Ning Xingyao held a cigarette between her fingers, chuckling knowingly, "Xiao Xie, in this cutthroat industry..."
She gently flicked off the ash from her cigarette before slowly saying, "You have to learn to protect yourself."
After finishing her cigarette, Ning Xingyao reached out and patted Xie Qing's shoulder, lowering her voice, "You're being watched by Zheng Xiao, be careful."
She's been in the entertainment industry for so many years and has worked with all sorts of directors, including Zheng Xiao—a perverted guy who likes to mess with pretty young boys.
These past few days, she's been acting alongside Xie Qing, and she admires this talented and hardworking young man, which is why she offered him some advice.
Xie smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Ning. I will be careful."
Watching Xie Qing's retreating figure, Ning Xingyao sighed—those targeted by Zheng Xiao rarely escape; she hoped he would be alright.
