Chapter 13: Complicated emotional lines
Hu Ying parked the car outside the supermarket and got down from the car with Di Xingchen.
His blue supercar attracts a lot of attention from passersby, but Hu Ying's head is held even higher as he puts on his sunglasses like a beautiful and proud peacock.
Di Xingchen followed Hu Ying around, feeling like a loyal and bleak servant.
With Hu Ying, green leaf self-awareness is very important.
He'll just set off the dominatrix well.
Red and blue signal eight guests, the program group almost to all set up seven CP line, this variety of CP line, some belong to the focus of attention, such as the current Hu Ying and Yan Zhi, some purely for show, such as Hu Ying and Wen Nuo, and such as Hu Ying and Di Xingchen.
Hu Ying's tastes are known to them all.
Di Xingchen wasn't even on his radar.
So on this trip out to buy groceries, the show only gave them a selfie camera and didn't even send a follow up video.
Di Xingchen's groceries are exceptional today.
Obviously it's going to be a big meal.
"Why didn't you ask us what we were going to eat today." Hu Ying said.
"Today we're all opening blind boxes," Di Xingchen says with a smile, "and you're eating what I'm making, no a la carte."
Di Xingchen is very serious when picking seafood, while Hu Ying pushes a shopping cart and looks on in boredom. If it wasn't for the filming of the program, he definitely wouldn't have come to the fresh food area, just smelling the fishy smell was a bit too much for him to bear. But Di Xingchen is very serious, Hu Ying stared at Di Xingchen for a while, I don't know if it's because Di Xingchen is too good looking, he actually saw some of Di Xingchen's good points.
In fact, the first time he met Di Xingchen, he passed him over, not just the age issue, he has dated high school students, age is not really a big problem, he mainly thinks Di Xingchen looks like he doesn't have much character.
He had always believed that a man's personality was most important, and the more distinctive he was, the more he was drawn to explore.
Such as Yan Zhi, such as Pei Xu.
Huo Cheng can also be, after all, so MAN.
But Di Xingchen is too mediocre by comparison; his temper is admittedly good. He's also good looking, but he's a warm and fuzzy person with no desire to explore.
But at the moment, he took a good look at Di Xingchen and realized that Di Xingchen wasn't bad.
183 is considered tall, probably dancing, the proportion is better, visually not lower than Yan Zhi them, broad shoulders and narrow waist, fresh and white, with the youthfulness of college students. Di Xingchen's T-shirt and pants are very plain, unlike their brand-name clothes, but this kind of plain clothes is very suitable for his low-profile and bright aura.
It just feels natural and comfortable.
You know that in front of the camera teacher, people will pretend more or less, especially vegetarians.
However, Di Xingchen behaves naturally, not hiding, and does not show it intentionally.
Di Xingchen noticed Hu Ying staring at him and turned his head.
Meeting Hu Ying's rather serious gaze, Di Xingchen smiled faintly.
Hu Ying was shaken by that smile and her heart suddenly jumped.
Well, Di Xingchen is actually pretty ...... good.
A college student with red lips and a temperament so healthy and clean, only a sophomore, maybe a ...... virgin too?
Hu Ying, who is a virgin, said her heart was hot.
Probably because Castor Pei is too cold and Yan Zhi is a bit distant, he has never been favored by thousands of people and loved by thousands of people, he can't resolve this gap and is lost, so when he meets a warm person like Di Xingchen, he feels that it's not bad at all.
After this little love affair, Hu Ying suddenly felt the atmosphere was a little weird in the car, so he turned on the music, and Di Xingchen heard it and asked, "This song is old, isn't it?"
"I like to listen to the old songs. Don't you think there are not many good songs nowadays, it's better to listen to the old songs." Hu Ying said.
The song Hu Ying played was a cover of "The First Time" by an unknown singer.
It's slower paced than the original, with a soundtrack of simple guitars and muffled vocals.
The sky suddenly dimmed, there were thick dark clouds rising from the sea, and the sun gave them a beautiful golden edge, Hu Ying was attracted by the sight and turned his head to look at it, sang the song:
[The first time I said I loved you.
It's hard to breathe.
The heart kept trembling.
The first time I took your hands.
Losing my bearings.
I don't know where to go.]
Hu Ying suddenly reached out and pressed a button in the car.
"Wow."
The sports car is gorgeously transformed, a luxury car is a luxury car, and the way the convertible top is all so cool, like a Transformer.
After the top of the car was completely closed, the wind directly blew Hu Ying's hair, Di Xingchen thought to herself, "The luxury family variety is different, even buying a grocery is a convertible sports car back and forth".
He turned his head to look at Hu Ying, and when he saw that the wind had blown Hu Ying's hair into his face, he leaned over and brushed it away from his face for him.
Hu Ying smiled a little, but did not speak, only coolly biting her lower lip.
The crew watched with bated breath.
In the silence someone suddenly vocalized, "I seem to GET a sense of CP eh."
"The arrogant queen subject and his loyal dog weak attacker."
"I want a trailer of Di Xingchen brushing his hair!"
Suddenly there were voices in the distance, and the wind that pounded against his face had more than its fair share of damp vapor.
Di Xingchen turned his head to look at the clouds rolling over the sea: "Not good."
"What's wrong?" Hu Ying asked.
Di Xingchen looked ahead again, "The rain is coming."
He had just finished speaking when he saw the rain come crashing down towards them.
"It's raining." Lin Qingning said as he closed the book.
Pei Xu twisted her head and looked out, the yard was already foggy.
It was a sudden shower of rain, very stormy, and no sooner had it fallen for two minutes than the sun's rays penetrated again, and the thunder rumbled, and the sun shone, and the rain poured down in torrents, and the strange heavenly phenomenon woke everybody up.
Duan Yihua and Wen Nuo had been lying on the bed chatting and came downstairs. Just downstairs, they saw Hu Ying and Di Xingchen's laughter coming from the doorway, and in a short while, they came over with shopping bags like waterlogged chickens, leaving water stains all along the way.
"Why are you two soaked like that?"
Lin Qingning also came out from Pei Xu's room, and asked, "Didn't you drive there, why are you still drenched like this?"
"Don't mention it, halfway there Hu Ying had the convertible top on and ended up in the rain, I told him to raise the top but he didn't." Di Xingchen shook her head and put down her wet shopping bag.
"Doesn't it feel good?" Hu Ying said, "Every once in a while it rains, it's great."
"You're crazy." Di Xingchen headed for the bedroom, "I'm going to wash up."
He smiled and ran towards the bedroom, and just as he reached the door to the room, he saw Pei Xu come out of it.
"How did you get soaked like this." Pei Xu said.
Di Xingchen laughed twice and went into the room, Pei Xu frowned and turned his head to look at Hu Ying who was also wet, Hu Ying smoothed her hair upwards, revealing a clean forehead and a plain face, but the ends of her eyebrows and the tips of her eyes were still upturned, revealing a flamboyant and colorful appearance.
In front of Pei Xu and the others, Hu Ying directly took off his shirt. Tuan Yihua and the others looked at him and didn't say anything.
Hu Ying has large tattoos on his back and belly, red and green, extremely demonic, with light abs and slightly raised shoulder blades on his back, all covered in wild beauty. He himself knows his own capital, twisting his head towards Pei Xu.
As a result, Pei Xu didn't even look at him.
Hu Ying vividly held her breath, pursed her lips coldly, and headed for the second floor.
Tuan Yihua and Wen Nuo take the freshly purchased vegetables out of the bag.
"The crab is alive." Wen Nuo took two steps back in fear.
Lin Qingning wanted to help, smelled the fishy smell slightly frowned, put his hand back, Duan Yihua quickly with the lid buckle, but the result is still climbed out of the two, fell directly to the ground, the fish in the bag of a jerk also fell, snapped, slippery rolling all over the ground.
The kitchen was a mess and Di Xingchen came running out bare-chested, "What's going on?!"
Tuan Yihua braced her two slippery hands and said, "They're all running out."
Di Xingchen bends down to pick them up, and seeing Wen Nuo's fear, deliberately holds the crab to scare him, and Wen Nuo hides directly behind Tuan Yihua.
It was probably the crazy behavior of getting wet earlier that caused Di Xingchen's entire being to get a little excited, and he laughed out loud and said, "That's why you're not allowed in the kitchen, it's all mine."
He put the crabs and live fish away, "I'll come clean up later."
"You go back and put on some clothes first, don't catch a cold." Tuan Yihua said and glanced over at Di Xingchen again.
Di Xingchen was lean, the lean figure of a twenty year old boy, but perhaps because of his dance lessons, his waist was tight, tall, lean and glowing white.
Is it because you know Di Xingchen likes you?
Tuan Yihua felt that he was more or less paying attention to Di Xingchen.
Di Xingchen ran back to get dressed and saw Pei Xu standing alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the rain outside, and just as he ran into his room, Huo Cheng came out from next door.
Everyone was up, they were all standing in the kitchen, it was still raining outside, the dark clouds and the sun were playing a game, and eventually they got the upper hand, the sun's rays couldn't be seen at all, and the sky was overcast, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and all of the lights in the room were turned on.
Everyone gathered around Di Xingchen and watched as he slaughtered fish and packed crabs.
Di Xingchen work like a different person, serious and focused, skillful.
He's like a boy when he's active.
Seriously like a man.
That's probably the charm of his type.
Hu Ying looked at him and suddenly thought, "This would be the type of son-in-law that aunts and amahs love the most.
Like a good homebody husband.
"Where is Yan Zhi?" Hu Ying asked, "He's not up yet?"
Huo Cheng said, "He's not home, he's out."
"Out?"
"Well, he went out while we were all sleeping."
"Did he bring an umbrella?" Wen Nuo asked.
"It shouldn't get wet." Lin Qingning said.
Di Xingchen sniffed and glanced at the dark, hazy sky outside.
As they stood there chatting for a while, he saw Hu Ying quietly exit.
He knew that Hu Ying would not miss such a good opportunity.
A little while later Hu Ying came downstairs with his coat on, "Do either of you have an umbrella?"
Everyone looked at him, "You're going out?"
"Go out and get some air." Hu Ying said.
"None of us have umbrellas, do we. Why don't you go next door and ask the program team." Huo Cheng said.
Hu Ying nodded and went out the door.
Di Xingchen is chopping minced ginger, his head lowered, a slight smile at the corner of his lips.
He's going to buy shares of Hu Ying.
It feels like he's the most active.
Hu Ying had only arrived at the door when the program team brought him an umbrella.
"You guys know me so well." Hu Ying said.
With his hair tied back and a knitted cable shirt, he looked heroic and beautiful, and smiled in a way that made his big staff brother afraid to look at him more than once.
Androgynous beauty that straight men can't carry off.
He came out with his umbrella, the raindrops snapping against the surface, and the rain soon splashed his pant legs. He headed out the door with his umbrella and stood at the front door.
It was a hot day, but when it rained, it immediately cooled down, and he wrapped his jacket tightly and stood in the rain waiting for Yan Zhi to come back.
Tuan Yihua They're all coming into the living room. That's the way it is in a relationship, the best moments are just a few hours, the rest of the time is just a very trivial and boring routine. Di Xingchen was cooking in the kitchen, Huo Cheng and Wen Nuo were helping him, while the others were reading and chatting in the living room, each doing their own thing.
Zhou Lan was free this afternoon and came over to keep an eye on the field again.
Love Complex night has always been a heavy favorite.
After watching a dozen or so monitors, Pei Xu is still the same old misfit, lying on the couch playing boring sudoku puzzles by himself. He's only been with Red and Blue Signal for two days, and he's already finished filling out the Sudoku Challenge book.
In the beginning, Hu Ying and the others actually came over to join in the fun, but what was just a little game to pass the time for Pei Xu was too mind-numbing for the average person, and Hu Ying gave up after two tries.
He plays this, others can't read it and are too embarrassed to bother him, he's all alone and clean.
"Get him over here." Zhou Lan said.
The staff called Pei Xu over, and when Pei Xu put on her sweater and hat and went out, she saw Hu Ying standing alone in the rain.
Hu Ying also saw him.
Pei Xu went straight next door.
Hu Ying froze and grunted.
The staff of the program rarely went into the Red and Blue Lodge on weekdays, spending most of their time in this building next door, which was also a small two-story building, but was crowded with too many staff members. Pei Xu walks through a bunch of staff's workstations and enters the room inside.
Once inside, I saw Zhou Lan sitting in a chair smoking a cigarette.
She's been under a lot of stress lately and smokes a lot.
It's not easy for rich kids to start a business.
At the sight of Pei Xu, Zhou Lan frowned, "How did you promise me?"
Pei Xu sat down on the chair, like a deflated ball, and slouched, "No energy."
"Isn't that what romance is all about? Why is it boring?"
"I said I have no energy in my body."
Zhou Lan asks, "Not feeling well, are you sick?"
"No." Pei Xu says, "Just can't get a lift and have a headache."
Zhou Lan said: "You know that you are participating in a variety show, right? You also know how important this program is to me, right? I don't want it to be ruined in my hands. Do you know how hard it was for me to start my own business? The old man is not supportive, I'm a weak woman, put my entire fortune ......"
"Said it eight hundred times." Pei Xu interrupted her.
Zhou Lan handed him a cigarette.
"No smoking."
Zhou Lan put the cigarette back, to the corner of the table and sat: "Anyway, I do not care if you have no favorite person, originally to participate in the love variety of nine out of ten are not really rushed to fall in love, a season can become a pair of good, most of the other people are to play soy sauce, but you have to play good soy sauce ah, at least let the audience to watch the fun, there is a love of variety of the guest of honor the appearance of the ah. I don't care. I don't care, you have to pick one, give me some footage that can be broadcast."
"Like what?"
Zhou Lan thought about it, "Let me make an analogy, for example, Huo Cheng is chasing Di Xingchen, they are both a CP line, you don't like anyone, right, you can ah, but you can get in touch with Di Xingchen more contact contact, you don't need to say any ambiguous words, do any ambiguous action, no need, you just usually more You just need to look at him more, stay with him more, we can edit ourselves into a love triangle later. You're so smart, surely you know what I mean, right?"
Pei Xu frowned, and Zhou Lan reached out to support his furrowed brow, "Don't frown all the time, you're so young."
Pei Xu said, "Huo Cheng is chasing Di Xingchen?"
"I'm just making an analogy."
"You're not just making random analogies, are you?" Pei Xu asked.
Zhou Lan said, "Yeah, those two are having a moment now."
"Don't you guys always go red and blue?"
"We have never said that our program can only be red and blue match ah, our goal is of course red and blue match, in the past it was also red and blue out of CP, but this does not mean that blue and blue and red and red can not be internally out of CP ah. Gay people are not like that, you can mix it up, we never go along with CP, not create CP."
"Oh."
"Oh?"
"Got it."
"What do you know?"
"From now on, I'll spend more time with Di Xingchen and watch him more." Pei Xu said.
Zhou Lan looked at him for a while, "I really don't know if you are really sexually frigid or asexual. Let's introduce you to a girl, you're ignoring it, these few male guests on our program are all top-notch boys, aren't they? There's no one you're attracted to?"
"Consider me asexual." Pei Xu gets up, "Is there nothing else, if not I'm going to go stay with Di Xingchen."
Zhou Lan: "......"
Zhou Lan thinks that she may have been wrong to try to get Pei Xu to join the program after exhausting all her contacts.
Pei Xu seems to be really uninterested in love since she was a child.
Ever since he was a child, he had never seen him close to anyone, either abroad or at home.
He didn't even have friends he particularly talked to.
He was asked to come to this variety show and Pei Huanong was very supportive.
Look, even his mom thinks that her son is just studying the Stock Foundation Note every day like this.
Pei Xu is the quintessential bogey man, he does nothing, and he doesn't have to do anything, all he has to do is to stand there and attract everyone's adoration.
Some people are just born leading men.
She originally thought that Pei Xu was handsome enough and famous enough to come to their show, and even if he didn't initiate it himself, he would still be the centerpiece of the Shura.
But after the last two days of observation, it dawned on her.
Pei Xu doesn't go well with the setting itself, which is a luxury romance series.
Real vegans may be mesmerized by Pei Xu's glow, but these rich kids, with their looks and family backgrounds, don't care if it's the people they come in contact with on a daily basis or their former boyfriends, which one of them is worse.
All of them are dignitaries, and they really don't have to lick an apathetic maniac like Pei Xu on a star-studded variety show with such a wide audience.
It's only been two days of recording and there have been two accidents.
A heavyweight guest wasn't as popular as expected, and a guest who was brought in to make up the numbers has actually become the centerpiece of today's Shura.
The loss that Pei Xu brought to her can only be cured by Di Xingchen.
She went back to the next room, a dozen monitors on at once in the dark, hazy room, with every corner of the Red and Blue Lodge in view.
"What's Hu Ying doing out there?" She asked.
"He's waiting for Yan Zhi," said director Guo Bing, his voice excited.
Zhou Lan let out a long breath.
One of the CP threads they were previously focusing on is finally working out okay.
"How come you didn't send a follow up camera to follow?"
Nowadays, the only cameras that can capture Hu Ying's face are the two cameras at the entrance and the parking garage, and because of the heavy rain outside, the light has become very dim and it is almost impossible to see Hu Ying's expression.
"We now try not to let the followers shoot like they are following, so that the guests will be more relaxed and the shot will be more immersive and realistic, which can maximize the audience's voyeuristic desire." Guo Bing explains.
Zhou Lan nodded a little and went back to looking at the kitchen side of the screen.
Di Xingchen, who is cooking, and Huo Cheng and Wen Nuo, who are standing next to him.
Compared to Hu Ying's side, the picture quality here is much clearer, with multiple hidden cameras that can capture the subtle expressions on almost everyone's face.
"You go play in the parlor." Huo Cheng suddenly said to Wen Nuo.
Wen Nuo looks up, "I'll be around to help Star with a hand."
"It's enough for me to help him play." Huo Cheng said, "Be obedient and go play."
Wen Nuo looked at Huo Cheng, and saw Huo Cheng smilingly looking at him, the two of them stared at each other for a while, Wen Nuo suddenly laughed a little, and then took off his gloves, "Then it's hard for you guys."
Di Xingchen was crossing the oil, watched Wen Nuo run to the living room, and turned his head to look at Huo Cheng.
"You can't do this." He said.
Huo Cheng said, "Whatever you want me to do, just command."
"I think Wen Nuo is good." Di Xingchen said.
Huo Cheng gave him a look, "You like it?"
Di Xingchen, not wanting the program to record him, said in a barely audible voice, "I think he's really good. You ......"
He didn't say the second half of the sentence, only signaled it with his eyes.
Huo Cheng just smiled and didn't say anything.
Di Xingchen sighed helplessly.
You can't force feelings, and he can only advise a little.
"How long did you sleep today?" Huo Cheng asked.
"Haven't been paying attention, but not as long as you."
Huo Cheng said, "I did sleep for a long time and had a good dream. When I woke up, I couldn't get enough of it, so I thought I would go back to sleep and see if I could keep dreaming, so I fell asleep again."
Di Xingchen then looked up at him, "So did your dream continue?"
Huo Cheng was about to speak when he saw Pei Xu walk out from the entrance.
Pei Xu didn't go to the living room, but came straight over to the kitchen side.
Di Xingchen and Huo Cheng both look toward Pei Xu, who takes a bottle of mineral water and stands in front of them.
The camera zoomed in and gave a bust, Huo Cheng stood on Di Xingchen's left side, the two of them facing each other head on, Pei Xu stood on their right front side, revealing a distinctly handsome side face. Three top-notch dudes in the same frame, with the lighting in the kitchen, it's more eye-catching than an idol drama.
Huo Cheng smiled and asked, "Did you just go out?"
Pei Xu gave a "hmmm".
Huo Cheng asked, "Have you seen Hu Ying?"
Pei Xu nodded a bit and unscrewed the lid to take two sips of water.
Di Xingchen turned his head to look at Huo Cheng.
He found out that Huo Cheng knew everything.
Sure enough, Huo Cheng laughed in a low voice and said, "He's waiting for Yan Zhi, isn't he?"
Pei Xu raises an eyebrow, "Really? I say why is he standing there alone."
"It seems you don't know much about the emotional state of our lodge at this point." Huo Cheng let out a laugh, bracing both hands on the countertop and leaning his body slightly towards Di Xingchen.
Di Xingchen thought that Pei Xu was not unaware of it, he was too lazy to understand it.
He's in the hut and his heart is in the stock fund.
Instead, he ended up hearing Pei Xu say faintly, "It's not entirely unknown."
Next door, the light from the screen illuminated everyone's eyebrows.
Each of them pursed their lips, their eyes were excited, and some even clenched their small fists in excitement.
"Talked to Pei Xu or useful ah sister Zhou."
"It's not completely unknown ...... Mingming very common phrase I heard why I was so excited!"
"That's a great line right there, and it's even better with his stinky face!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a little shady and a little sour!"
"Huo Cheng's words are also wonderful when you think about it, he took the initiative to mention Yan Zhi and Hu Ying's ambiguous relationship in front of Di Xingchen, Yan Zhi is considered to be his rival, right?"
"Ah yes, fuck this little mind!"
