Chapter 8: Coffee

Three days later, the official announcement of all the guests of "Let's Travel Together" was completed. Bai Ye's participation in the show has, unsurprisingly, set off a round of discussion, directly pushing "Poor Traveler" to the top of the microblogging hot search list.

With Bai Ye opening the door, the show officially started recording.

Poor Traveler takes the form of a side-by-side recording and broadcasting, with six installments to be filmed in six locations this season. Each installment is recorded in one week, and the first installment will be aired the following weekend after recording, and so on.

With a total recording time of one and a half months, it was a tough challenge for both the guests and the post-production crew.

Before leaving on the weekend morning, Qi Yuji felt uneasy and pouted, "Xingchen, let my sister take you to the airport, okay?"

Qi Xingchen was a bit hesitant: "The recording started at the airport."

"Then I'll drop you off at the parking lot and you can go up by yourself," Qi Yuji made a pitiful face, "either that or you'll be gone for so long that your sister will miss you."

Qi Xingchen : "...... OK."

He had no choice but to agree, and went upstairs to empty the big name co-branded suitcase Qi Yuji had given him, replacing it with his own regular suitcase.

In the past, in the acrobatic troupe, he never brought a suitcase when he went out to perform, he always had a backpack to take care of it. This time he didn't want to bring it, but Qi Yuji was afraid that he wouldn't have enough to eat or wear, and secretly stuffed a lot of snacks and clothes, so he had to change to a big guy.

Qi Xingchen threw the suitcase into the trunk, clapped his hands, and pulled open the car door. Before getting into the car, I suddenly realized that not only was Qi Yuji sitting in the back seat, Qi's father was actually also there!

"...... Dad," Qi Xingchen hadn't called him by that name much, and held his tongue for a while before coming out with, "When did you come up here."

"When you were packing just now," Qi's father made an excuse, "the airport and the office are on the same way, do you mind if I hitch a ride with you?"

The original owner is in a rebellious period, and the relationship with his father is very stiff. Qi Xingchen also did not tear him down, nodded and jumped into the car himself.

On the way to the airport, Qi Yuji kept telling Qi Xingchen to pay attention to this and that. When we reach our destination, it's Qi's father's turn to nag.

"Xingchen, Dad has put some road money in your card-don't reject it just yet," Seeing Qi Xingchen's expression change, Qi's father hastened to add, "Dad watched a few episodes of that program, and knows that you can't spend your own money. But the poor family rich road, you do not spend, put on the body, Dad can be a little more at ease."

A sixty year old man who purposely researched variety shows for his son, Qi Xingchen bit his lower lip, "Well, okay, I'll bring it."

"Don't get used to it don't insist on it, if you are aggrieved tell us, dad picks you up, it's not like he can't afford to feed you."

"...... I know," Qi Xingchen took a deep breath, "the assistant director messaged me, I should go."

"Go." Father Qi and Qi Yuji nodded reluctantly, and even the driver's master wore a few sad expressions.

Qi Xingchen, unaccustomed to such a scene, quickly turned away, his footsteps slightly wobbly.

.

There are three guests departing from H City - Bai Ye, "Peach of the Night" star Tao Tao and Qi Xingchen - and the show has already purchased their tickets, with the initial meeting point set at the VIP lounge.

Thinking of the upcoming contact with the female lead, Qi Xingchen couldn't help but furrow his brows. At this time the cell phone came in a message, [your tail number 9999 wealth card transfer income RMB 5000000.00 yuan, the current balance of 7633254.21 yuan. [Construction Bank]]

One, two, three ...... six zeros, five million.

Is this what Father Kisum calls 'road money'?

Ma Lisu Vin was too bold to write, Qi Xingchen sighed as she walked into the waiting room. Then he stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the girl in the corner.

It was now the off-season for spring tourism, and there were not many travelers, scattered about a dozen or so. But when he raised his eyes, he acted as if he couldn't notice anyone else, and his sight was completely attracted by that girl.

The girl was wearing a white T-shirt and light-colored jeans, her ponytail was tied up high, reading a book spread on her lap, her face could not be seen, but from head to toe there was a soft glow of "she must be very beautiful".

No, it's not a "she must be beautiful" soft light, Qi Xingchen reacted.

-This is a fucking protagonist's aura!

He had seen her picture on Weibo, and yes, she was one of the guests of "Let's Travel Poorly Together" and the lead actress of "Peaches of the Night" - Tao Tao!

At this moment, the program's cameraman noticed Qi Xingchen's arrival and ran over with the camera on his shoulder, "Xingchen, good morning, say hello to the audience."

"Hi everyone, I'm Qi Xingchen. it's 10:00 a.m. Have you had lunch yet."

The followup assistant spat, "Who's having lunch now."

"Eating is not active, there is something wrong with your mind." Qi Xingchen said in a serious manner.

"Hahaha!" I don't know where the crooked reasoning came from to make the following assistant and camera big brother laugh, and other travelers who heard it also laughed along with them, and the waiting hall was soon filled with laughter.

The surrounding sound is too loud, Tao Tao can not read the book, finally finally closed the page and raised his head. Qi Xingchen as if seeing a gardenia quietly bloom, pure white, shy and beautiful.

I have to say, the female lead's aura is really powerful. Tao Tao's looks aren't gorgeous, but they make you feel good as hell.

"You're Qi Xingchen, right?" Tao Tao came forward, speaking with a slight timidity that was especially compassionate, "I'm Tao Tao."

"That's right, just call me Xingchen," Qi Xingchen tried to keep a smile on her face, "Hello Tao Tao."

After saying hello, the follow up assistant hints at the two of them communicating their feelings and coming up with some editable material.

Tao Tao's little white flower persona is not lively enough, so Qi Xingchen went to buy a few cups of coffee, and after distributing them to the staff, he handed Tao Tao a cup: "American style, no sugar, is that okay?"

"Thank you, you know how to do it," Tao Tao spoke with eyes slightly widened and a sincere expression, "but I don't gain weight how I eat, so you don't have to take care of me specially."

It is true that the protagonist aura, can have dry food not fat body.

Qi Xingchen joked with her, then tried, "It was really super surprising to be on Poor Traveler, when I got the news, I thought it was a scammer trying to trick me."

This position is actually Zhou Yu's, and his appearance disrupts the plot, so I wonder if the heroine's idea didn't realize it.

"Who wouldn't," Tao Tao smiled, "I just approached the company and said I wanted to take a break for a while, and then I was called here to experience life!"

This sentence does not belong to the positive answer, the test ended in failure. Qi Xingchen is afraid of always focusing on a question that causes the other party to be wary, so he had to change the subject and talk about some recent gossip hotspots.

As they chatted, a clear and rhythmic shout rang out from outside.

Those sentences were engraved in Qi Xingchen's head, and if it weren't for the heroine, Qi Xingchen might have shouted them out along with him - that's right, what was being shouted out there was Bai Ye's support slogan, Bai Ye is here.

With the last guest in place, the cameraman and his assistant immediately ran out with the machine, ready to film Bai Ye entering the terminal.

The hero and heroine are about to meet formally, Qi Xingchen's palms are sweating thinly. In the original article, Bai Ye, who never looked at a woman for more than three seconds, would be shocked by Tao Tao's beauty and temperament, and was stunned for six or seven seconds.

Of course, at this stage, the female lead is just a vase "much prettier than other women" in the male lead's mind. After a month and a half of recording, the female lead will impress the male lead with her pure and kind qualities, and secretly develop feelings for her.

Qi Xingchen Yu Guang observed the movements of the female lead, only to see that the female lead did not show any unusual emotions for Bai Ye's arrival, and still kept her head down and continued to read.

After nearly five minutes of watching, A Lun and Bai Ye's manager, Zhao Nuo, arrived, escorting Bai Ye.

Bai Ye wore a dark blue denim jacket today, which outlined his shoulder line and waistline to perfection. Her hair was slightly processed, and she wore black square shaped sunglasses, her neck and wrists were plain and clean, and she didn't wear any jewelry.

He took off his sunglasses slowly and methodically, and his gaze fell on Qi Xingchen.

Qi Xingchen's heart lifted - the hero would soon notice Tao Tao!

As a result, Bai Ye didn't look to the side, but moved his eyes down to the coffee cups Qi Xingchen and Tao Tao had put together. His expression was slightly disgruntled, probably questioning why there were none for him.

Qi Xingchen : "......"

Distracted by the heroine's aura of protagonism, when he bought coffee he only bought it for the people who were there at the time, forgetting about Bai Ye.

I don't think a top-tier traffic should put a couple dozen dollars worth of coffee in his heart, right?

Qi Xingchen rises apprehensively, Tao Tao only as an afterthought puts down his book and stands up with him, "Are the other guests here?"

In the middle of the conversation, the camera had already guided Bai Ye to the front of the duo. Tao Tao let out a "wow", "It's actually Bai Ye, what a surprise!"

"Hello." Bai Ye said.

"I've seen you perform, at last year's Starlight Festival." Tao Tao complimented, "It was especially handsome and shocking!"

Bai Ye: "Thank you."

Camera & Follow-up Assistant: "......"

How the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

In fact, Bai Ye also has this reason for not taking up variety shows, he is arrogant by nature, interviews can talk the sky to death, on the variety show is expected to either chill the other guests to death, or the director tired to death, know himself well.

Tao Tao was not embarrassed, and was still looking at him with a smile on her face.

Bai Ye didn't seem to see such a big beauty and turned to Qi Xingchen: "What time did you come over."

"...... Just arrived."

"Uh-huh."

Bai Ye responded, then turned and walked away with A Lun.

Just turned around and walked away.

It didn't play out the bridge as written in the original article.

Qi Xingchen stayed where he was, lost in thought.

When he had found a place to sit down, Bai Ye looked over his shoulder and realized that no one was following him.

...... Shouldn't fans follow their idols?

.

After all, it wasn't time for the official taping, and the "Poor Traveler" crew did back to the people and booked business class tickets for the guests.

Bai Ye's manager, Zhao Nuo, who has a seat in the same row as Tao Tao and Qi Xingchen, explains skillfully, "Bai Ye is just like that, sorry for the inconvenience."

Tao Tao said, "It's okay, we're not familiar with it, it's normal."

Yeah, if you're not familiar with each other now, you'll be in love with each other in the future. Qi Xingchen slumped sideways on the seat, listening and flipping through magazines in boredom.

Then he felt the back seat shudder twice.

Possibly awakened by the sound of talking, Bai Ye, who was sitting behind him, rolled over.

Qi Xingchen's mind wandered, and his head peeked back through the gap on the side against the inner wall of the cabin.

Bai Ye has his arms wrapped around his chest and his eyes are closed as he rests.

This is the first time Qi Xingchen saw Ai Dou sleeping ...... It's unbelievable, even sleeping looks so good, is it a human's face value?

Bai Ye is actually an angel, right?

With the mentality that looking at a paper man is no different from looking at a photo, Qi Xingchen observes the fake Ai Dou without any psychological burden.

The forehead was full, the eyebrows were stern, and there was a small mole on the left side of the high nose, which neutralized much of the sharpness of his features.

The night skies are obsessed with this mole obsessed to death, every day on Twitter howling [ah ah ah ah so want to lick].

Peaches of the Night is no exception; after the heroine and hero fall in love, the author devotes a large portion of the book to describing the entire process of the heroine licking the hero's mole, so to speak, and getting her way.

Hiss - what happened to a little excitement peeking at the hero next to the heroine?

Afraid of being discovered by the heroine, Qi Xingchen took one last look.

Just as he was about to retract his head, Bai Ye's eyes, which had been tightly closed, opened unexpectedly and met Qi Xingchen's eyes squarely!

Qi Xingchen's heart thumped when the capture came too suddenly. He wanted to turn back, but he was afraid of looking weak, so he could only stay where he was, staring blankly at Bai Ye.

After a long time, Bai Ye finally spoke, his voice with the lethargy of a freshly awakened sleep, "Have you seen enough."

Qi Xingchen : "......"

Bai Ye : "Go back to rest when you've seen enough - or did you just drink too much coffee and can't sleep?"
