LOVE LOVES LOVES LOVES

When Pei Xu got down from the car, Di Xingchen tilted the umbrella in his hand towards him. The rain was coming down a bit densely, and when the wind blew, it wetted both of their shoulders.

"Were you not going to come out if I hadn't found you?" Di Xingchen asked.

Pei Xu smiled, didn't say anything, just looked at him without blinking.

Di Xingchen has a sneaking feeling that Pei Xu might know where they're moving to. His aunt is the producer of Red and Blue Signal, and Pei Xu is a man with a backstage job.

"How long have you been here?" He asked.

Pei Xu says, "It's been a while."

"Why didn't you get out of the car when you were here?" Di Xingchen asked.

If it hadn't been for his whim to look over one car at a time, the two of them probably wouldn't have met.

Pei Xu said, "Just wanted to come downstairs and look around."

Pei Xu actually didn't plan to come.

After the last day, he had to go to the West Side tomorrow, he had dinner and drove his car here by magic. He actually knew about Hu Ying's coming here, Zhou Lan even called him specifically to tell him about it.

He didn't mean to get involved in the fight with Hu Ying, no matter it was the past North City Station, or the next West City Station, it might be enough for Di Xingchen to suffer, it was hard to rest for a few days, don't let Di Xingchen go through all this torture chamber again.

He only thought to look at it from a distance.

The wind was a bit strong, the rain was also a bit heavy, an umbrella couldn't cover both of them at all, Pei Xu saw Di Xingchen's shoulders were soaked, so she said: "You go inside, I see you too."

His voice is very soft, blown by the wind, the sound of rain is noisy, almost scattered into the wind and rain. Just come downstairs to see, anyway, also see you, this ordinary words, but he said a sincere sense of humility, so euphemistic and honest Pei Xu, in turn, provoked Di Xingchen's compassion, he pursed his lips toward the surrounding look, said: "Do you want to go up to sit down?"

"Don't go, you take an early rest." Pei Xu said.

As soon as he spoke, he heard someone call out, "Star."

Di Xingchen looked back and it was Zhai's father.

Papa Zhai held his umbrella and looked at the man behind him in surprise.

Pei Xu took the lead in returning to her senses and hurriedly stood upright, bending slightly and saying, "Hello uncle."

Zhai's father came a little closer, and then laughed, "It's Little Pei, I was just saying, why does it look so familiar!"

Slightly embarrassed, Di Xingchen asked, "What brings you down here?"

Zhai father said, "Your mom said that tomorrow she wants to cook some eight treasure porridge for you, and I came down to buy some jujubes ...... Xiao Pei is just coming, right, so don t let anyone stand outside."

"No, I came to say a few words to him and went back." Pei Xu said with a smile.

Zhai's father smiled, "Come all the way here, go up and have a seat, we just moved to a new home, you guys go up first, I'll go to the supermarket to buy some things."

Papa Zhai said and headed for the small supermarket next door.

Di Xingchen looked at Pei Xu and said, "Let's go then."

Pei Xu says, "Is there a fruit store around here?"

He hadn't planned to go into the house, so he hadn't brought anything with him.

"You're welcome." Di Xingchen said, "Hu Ying bought so much fruit that our refrigerator can't even fit. You don't have to buy anything."

"I'll buy a bouquet of flowers then. You guys just moved." Pei Xu immediately got energized, "Why don't you come with me and come back later. I don't want to come to the door empty-handed."

Di Xingchen had to say, "There's a flower store right around the corner up ahead."

They walked towards the flower store together, Pei Xu suddenly reached out his hand and held the handle of the umbrella, Di Xingchen thought that he was going to take the umbrella from him, but in the end, Pei Xu just held the umbrella and gently pushed it towards him, and then he held it without letting go.

He holds it down, Pei Xu holds it up.

When he came out from under the bushes, the rain was a little thinner, the ground was flooded with wet light, and the occasional car passed by. The umbrella tilted a lot to his side, and Pei Xu's other side got wet. Di Xingchen smelled the familiar scent of peppermint again, but this time the scent was faint and cold, damp from the rain. He glanced at Pei Xu's hand and said, "Your frostbite has gotten better in the past two days, hasn't it?"

"It's much better." Pei Xu said, "I went back to the clinic run by my friend and reapplied the medicine, and today it doesn't itch anymore."

Di Xingchen laughed out loud at that.

Pei Xu twisted her head to look at him, her heart pounding at his smile. Like when they first met.

Di Xingchen suddenly thought of a storyline, it is said that all Jinjiang male leads will have a doctor friend who is on call 24 hours a day, and will also say "you have to be more moderate" when the male lead goes too far.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

I didn't realize that was the case!

"Is this doctor friend of yours a hairdresser?" He asked.

"Right."

Di Xingchen looked at Pei Xu with a smile.

Pei Xu smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Di Xingchen smiled and shook his head, "Where's your other hand?"

Pei Xu said, "It's all good too."

With that he lifted his other hand to show him, and the redness on the back of his hand had gone down, and it was back to its usual white color.

Pei Xu lowered his hand and glanced at Di Xingchen again, seeing that Di Xingchen was still smiling, his ears slightly reddened, and the rain drizzled onto his drooping hand, which was cold and icy.

"You make me nervous when you laugh." Pei Xu said.

Di Xingchen stopped laughing at that one, and could pull silk in the atmosphere.

Zhai's father had just entered the supermarket when he called Zhai's mother, "Pei Xu is coming, he's going to be at our house later, so hurry up and clean up."

Zhai's mom asked in surprise, "Pei Xu? He's here too?!"

"I just came out and saw him talking to Star in front of the neighborhood. Let's not talk about it ah, I'll go up after I buy something."

After hanging up the phone, Zhai's mother immediately tidied up the coffee table and sofa, Pei Xu suddenly came to the door, making her nervous all of a sudden, she went to wash some fruits, and in the meantime, organized the shoes at the entrance, and only just finished, when she heard a knock on the door.

Looking through the cat's eye, she saw Pei Xu holding a bouquet of flowers, standing behind Di Xingchen.

She opened the door to her room to see Pei Xu nodding her head in greeting very nicely, "Good evening auntie."

The air is cool, the smile is shy, and it's aristocratic and honest!

Zhai's mother smiled and said, "Little Pei is here, come in, come in."

Di Xingchen saw that Pei Xu had been nervous in the elevator just now, and fearing that he would be embarrassed, he immediately said, "Mom, Pei Xu bought you flowers."

Pei Xu immediately handed over the flowers in her hand upon hearing this, and Zhai's mother took them and said with a smile, "This is the first time someone has sent me flowers. It's so pretty!"

Zhai's mom was obviously also a little nervous, her voice was a little louder than usual, and her happiness was a little deliberate. Di Xingchen smiled and took a pair of unworn slippers out of the shoe cabinet, new slippers, both pairs were attached together by the hangtags, he tugged a bit and didn't break it, so he asked Zhai's mom, "Where are the scissors?"

"Just find me a pair." Pei Xu said.

"In the drawer." Di Xingchen's mom said.

Di Xingchen took scissors and cut it open and put the slippers under Pei Xu's feet.

Pei Xu then took off his leather shoes and changed into them.

He rarely wore shoes, so Di Xingchen asked, "Did you go to work today?"

"Attending a relative's birthday party." Pei Xu said.

"I said why are you wearing a suit today."

Zhai's mom was holding a flower and watching Di Xingchen and Pei Xu talking.

This was Pei Xu's second visit to their home, and she remembered that Di Xingchen had been as surprised as they had been the last time Pei Xu had come, and that he had been polite to Pei Xu with a little bit of embarrassment. But this time Pei Xu came back, and it was clear that the two of them were much more familiar with each other than before, and much more intimate and natural.

She smiles, and when she bumps into Pei Xu's gaze, she smiles and says, "Come on in."

Pei Xu today dressed more formal, black suit, with white shirt, black socks, Di Xingchen for him to find a pair of black slippers, the whole is only black and white, clean to the end, but his face color white, features heroic, but more show noble upright.

This and Hu Ying formed a great contrast, Hu Ying bright colors, clothes are young and fashionable, the two are like one ice and one fire, the front foot just left, this foot after the arrival, Zhai's mother was still lamenting Hu Ying is good, and now see Pei Xu, eyes only Pei Xu.

Can't blame her for taking a look at one ah, it's all too handsome and excellent, this kind of condition of young people, how can you meet in real life ah.

Not to mention the filters on the TV.

"Have you lost some weight?" She asked Pei Xu.

Pei Xu smiles and says, "A little."

"You sit you sit." Mama Zhai said as she put down the flowers.

Pei Xu had just sat down when she heard the door open. Zhai's father had bought something and also came back.

Pei Xu immediately gets back up.

Di Xingchen looked back at Pei Xu, he felt that Pei Xu was even more nervous than the last time he came here, but Pei Xu was a person who would hold up in front of other people, Di Xingchen wanted to laugh at the way he pursed his lips and pretended to be calm, Pei Xu sensed his gaze, looked at him, and then hurriedly greeted Zhai's father.

Papa Zhai waved his hand, "You sit you sit."

Papa Zhai put his purchases down and sat down with a light cough.

Pei Xu, now sit down.

Di Xingchen poured a cup of tea for Pei Xu, and Zhai's father said, "This Xiaohu brought a good tea, said ......"

Halfway through his speech he suddenly felt that it seemed inappropriate to mention Hu Ying at this time, so he laughed dryly. Zhai's mother brought the fruit up again and said with a smile, "Eat the fruit."

Di Xingchen thought it was just as he guessed, his parents treated Pei Xu very differently than they did Hu Ying, and when Hu Ying came they were only enthusiastic, not so polite and awkward as they are now.

But Papa Zhai, as an old-school straight man, still took out his generalship at this time, and he asked calmly with a rather elderly demeanor, "Has Little Pei eaten yet?"

"He came after a birthday party." Di Xingchen said.

"Oh yeah?" Papa Zhai picks up his teacup and takes a sip as well, then looks to Pei Xu : "Drink tea, drink tea."

Pei Xu also picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.

The tea was good, and his gaze fell to the tea box next to him, which was silver-white and delicate, carved with dragon and phoenix patterns.

It seems that Hu Ying has put in a lot of effort this time.

There was also a lot of fruit in the house, with several baskets piled up next to the fridge.

The four of them fell into a short silence. Di Xingchen, who was originally very comfortable, was also a little embarrassed by this atmosphere.

"Auntie and uncle are in good health, right?" Pei Xu suddenly asked.

"It's all good." Papa Zhai said, "How are you doing now? I heard you weren't sick when you were in the North City?"

"That's not him." Di Xingchen said.

Papa Zhai snapped, "Then I misremembered."

"He's got frostbite on his hands, right?" Zhai's mom said.

"It's all good already." Pei Xu said.

"That's good, that's good." Papa Zhai said.

Di Xingchen Rarely have I seen Zhai's father so embarrassed.

He's going to take matters into his own hands.

He asked Pei Xu, "Have you packed your bags? Did you see the notice from the program?"

Pei Xu says, "I packed yesterday. How about you?"

"I'm not even close."

"He brought a lot of stuff this time," said Zhai's mom, "two more boxes than last time."

In the South City to wear T-shirts, occasionally cold days wear a jacket is enough, the North City, needless to say, freezing cold, in and out are down jackets, but the West Side is different, there is a vast area, the temperature difference between different regions is relatively large, but the overall temperature is not too high and not too low, it is very suitable for a costume show, the crew to let them wear a bright and brilliant some, according to Hu Ying said that he this time he has brought more than 20 sets of clothes, he would like to be two sets of a day without changing.

"How many days are you guys recording this time?" Papa Zhai asked.

"It seems to be tentatively six days." Pei Xu replied seriously.

"So you've taken care of all your work, right?" Papa Zhai asked again.

"It's all pre-arranged." Pei Xu says, "The remaining part can be handled remotely as well."

Zhai's father then asked him about a topic of particular interest to middle-aged men, "I heard that you're in the stock fund business and doing very well?"

"Yes, I'm in the fund business, and my performance this year is okay." Pei Xu said modestly.

"He's number one for the year." Di Xingchen said, "Gaining like 120 this year."

Zhai's father was surprised and said, "Then you are very good ah, this year's market conditions can not."

As soon as he mentioned stock fund, which is one of the favorite topics of middle-aged and old men, father Zhai's conversation box opened up, saying that the stock market is in shock this year, and his colleagues have lost a lot of money, and then talking about the domestic economic situation and the global economic situation, and began to talk about it in a broad manner. He usually likes to study stocks and pays attention to current affairs and politics, while Pei Xu specializes in finance and naturally has a different vision. After chatting with Pei Xu for a while, Zhai's father's eyes were glowing.

It was the admiration of men for men, of elders for juniors!

Zhai's mom goes to the kitchen to cut cantaloupe, and Di Xingchen goes over to help. Through the glass door, she hears Pei Xu's slow and steady voice and Zhai's dad saying "yes, yes, yes" with excitement and emotion.

Zhai's mother said, "Your father has found a confidant this time, someone to talk to him about economics."

Unlike the last time we met in a hurry, this time Zhai's father and Pei Xu had a great time talking, and before he knew it, they had been talking for an hour and a half, when Zhai's mother, seeing the time was getting late, politely reminded him. When Mr. Zhai's father wanted to see Pei Xu out, Pei Xu smiled and said, "You don't have to."

"It's fine, it's fine, I'll walk you downstairs." Papa Zhai said.

Zhai's mother tugged on his arm, "Then we won't see you off, Star, you do."

They both watched Pei Xu and Di Xingchen enter the elevator, the elevator door closed, and Zhai's father went back inside and closed the door and said, "This kid is good."

Zhai's mom said, "I can see you like him."

"Really nice. Educated, polite, and honest." Zhai's father commented, "The personality doesn't seem to be that stuffy either."

The old father-in-law to see son-in-law has their own set of rules, they are generally not too interested in family history and appearance of this kind, but more on the right temperament, people have no ability.

Pei Xu clearly has a temper for him, and a knack for it!

"He this job is good ah, earn more, and is a serious job, but also stable ...... character is also stable." Zhai dad added.

Stability, emotional factors aside, was the thing he valued most.

"Of course, the most important thing is that Star herself should like it."

The other person is Di Xingchen's subject first and his son-in-law second.

"Do you think Star likes him?" Papa Zhai asked.

Zhai's mother thought for a moment and said, "It seems like he has a slimmer chance than Xiao Hu. But whether Star likes him or not doesn't matter, he obviously likes Star a lot."

There is a light in Di Xingchen's eyes.

The rain had stopped outside, and Pei Xu and Di Xingchen left the neighborhood together, his pace light and his mood even lighter.

The visit was clearly a success, and Papa Zhai clearly liked him.

It was already late at night and there were hardly any pedestrians on the road. Di Xingchen sent him to the car, holding an umbrella and saying, "Be safe on the road."

Pei Xu said, "Hu Ying will pick you up tomorrow, right?"

"And Wen Nuo, the three of us should be going to the airport together." Di Xingchen said, "What time did the program give you notice?"

"This time it's not prioritized, we all go together." Pei Xu said, "This time, it seems that we are not divided into houses, and we all live together in a collective dormitory."

Di Xingchen froze.

He doesn't know.

I can't believe it's a group home!

The showrunners are too good at this!

Man, he can't even sleep at night with nothing to do, can he.

"You don't know?"

"They didn't tell me." Di Xingchen said.

Pei Xu then said, "I guess the show's crew messed up and purposely didn't tell you."

Di Xingchen laughed out helplessly and said, "Fine."

The two stood face to face for a while, and a gust of wind blew, and the leaves rustled down and dropped water droplets. Di Xingchen busy said, "You get in the car."

Pei Xu, however, did not move.

He really didn't want to leave.

He can now appreciate those meaty love scenes in movies and TV dramas. Those back and forth you send me I send you, or Mingming every day to see, back to the dormitory downstairs still reluctant to part with the drama.

It's the not wanting to leave, always wanting to stay a little longer.

How could Di Xingchen not know what he was thinking. Jinjiang, the attacker is a clingy dog when he's in love.

Pei Xu didn't find a reason to stay on and didn't want to leave, so she just stood there and smiled.

"Hurry up." Di Xingchen says, "Don't get mushy."
