Chapter 141: Last Potluck on the West Side

Guo Bing has been silently observing Di Xingchen and Pei Xu.

He'd been sneaking a peek at the two of them ever since they'd come down from their parachutes.

But he was surprised to find that these two people seemed detached from each other compared to before.

These two have barely interacted since they got off the parachute, huh?

Di Xingchen, on the other hand, talks to Hu Ying and the others more.

Is Guo Bing very upset?

No, he was excited.

Because based on his past experience, these two are either not in a situation yet, or they've already got eyes on each other!

The biggest difference between romance and real love is that the guests are in a variety show, they need to abide by the rules of romance, such as in the last day of the day before the arrival of the confession day, they are not allowed to determine the relationship, but also because there is a camera shot, normal people are actually embarrassed in front of the camera face too intimate and intimate. But the young handsome men and women, love is bound to come in full swing, sometimes mutual feelings of two people, but will deliberately keep a distance, in order to avoid "too much".

The show has booked them into a special restaurant called "The Barren Place".

The restaurant is located in the westernmost part of the desolate area, this area is all yellow soil, almost can not see any green, the restaurant is located on a high slope, overlooking the entire desert, because of the unique shell design, coupled with the local bright star river, has become the western city's famous Netflix restaurant.

Hu Ying lets out a "wow" when she gets out of the car.

Di Xingchen followed suit with a "wow".

They looked up the high slope and the white dining room looked like a glowing shell.

The design of a shell lying quietly in a barren place is indeed ingenious.

It was windy there, and they went up the wooden steps, and Hu Ying stomped up, and the restaurant owner came to meet them with the chef and the staff.

"Welcome, guests, to the Barren Lands."

Everyone greeted the boss one by one, but when it was Yan Zhi's turn, Yan Zhi went up to the boss and hugged him.

"It's been a long time." The boss said.

Yan Zhi smiled and said, "Halfway through I guessed I was going to come to you."

Hu Ying asked, "Do you know each other?"

"I went to elementary school together." Yan Zhi said.

The owner smiled and said, "They actually contacted me a week ago, but asked me to keep it a secret, and you know how hard I've been holding back until now."

He said looking over to Di Xingchen, his eyes lingering on his face for a while before tapping Yan Zhi on the shoulder.

Yan Zhi seldom hugs people, he is a very clean person.

Seems to be a real friend with this boss.

They went up to the roof of the second floor, which was an open-air private room, sitting in a starry sky, with a full moon hanging in the sky, and the stone forest in the distance illuminated by yellow lights, like a sci-fi world.

"Sit." Hu Ying said to Di Xingchen.

"Everyone just sit anywhere." Tuan Yihua said.

Everyone sat down in the order they came up, from the entrance, Huo Cheng, Duan Yihua, Lin Qingning, Hu Ying, Di Xingchen, Yan Zhi, Pei Xu and Wen Nuo in that order.

"Do we eat it straight?" Di Xingchen asked the staff.

"Director Guo didn't come up, let's eat first, he's definitely going to mess up later." Hu Ying said.

"This place is so special." Lin Qingning said as he looked at the night view in the distance.

"There seems to be a hotel to the south." Wen Nuo said.

"They can also be accommodated here." Yan Zhi said.

"Have you been here before?" Hu Ying asked.

Yan Zhi nods, "Took a friend here once when it opened."

Hu Ying asked Yan Zhi: "Is he really your elementary school classmate? I haven't been in touch with my elementary school classmates for a long time, and I've even forgotten their names."

The reason why he was surprised was that he had always felt that Yan Zhi was hot on the outside and cold on the inside, polite to everyone, but in his bones he simply did not like to be close to people.

"I have been at the same table with him for four years in elementary school, not just elementary school classmates, kind of hair young." Yan Zhi said. "I'm a slow learner, and he's one of my few friends."

"You are indeed slow to warm up." Hu Ying said with a smile.

"I remember when Yan Zhi was first interviewed by the show's crew, he said he was slow to warm up." Yihua said.

Yan Zhi got a little emotional and said, "I'm really slow to warm up, so I may act a little cold sometimes, so I hope you can forgive me."

He looked calm, said lightly, but everyone did not expect him to suddenly say this, Hu Ying had wanted to secretly dislike Yan Zhi, the love rival a bit, heard him so "out of the heart", but he was very ashamed, said: "okay. "

Lin Qingning joked, "There's still a week to go, and now everyone's starting to summarize their statements?"

Di Xingchen And they all laughed.

"I don't know about anyone else, but I'll definitely be in touch with you guys again when this program is over anyway." Hu Ying said.

"Let's not bring up such a sad topic now, shall we?" Huo Cheng raises his glass, "Come on, here's to our soon-to-be-ended West Side stop."

Everyone raised their glasses.

It seems like as the show draws to a close, their conversation is always a trippy one that gets each other emotional.

The food was also served, roasted mutton, charcoal-roasted sacs, donkey meat and yellow noodles, the restaurant's main specialties are all very bold and rough, with local spirits, reflecting the desert moon, calling for people to be in a bold mood. Huo Cheng said, "It's been a long time since I've had a big meal, so let's eat first."

"Today's meal should be very much to Huo's liking." Hu Ying said, "Come Brother Huo, let's both have a drink."

They ate and drank, and Pei Xu started with tea, but when she saw everyone drinking, she poured herself a cup.

The staff of the program was eating downstairs, Hu Ying also ran down there and saw that the staff ate too simple, and immediately added a dozen dishes to the staff in a big way.

"We're really not gouging, everyone has to work." Guo Bing said.

Hu Ying said, "You can work better when you have enough to eat, come on, another case of wine for you."

"Too expensive too expensive."

"I'm a man of nothing else but two things, beauty and money!"

Everyone just laughed.

Guo Bing said, "We'll keep the food, but forget the wine."

"Everyone have some to warm up. It's cold here at night." Hu Ying said, "I am flattering you, I hope you will take care of me and try to make me look good!"

He clasped his fists and pretended to be grateful, making everyone laugh again.

"You're popular enough." Guo Bing said.

People actually love this kind of guest, the warmth, the candor.

Hu Ying arranged the following, and took a bottle of wine back upstairs. I was just drinking, when I saw Guo Bing coming up.

"The program is going to screw up." Hu Ying said.

Everyone turned their heads toward Guo Bing.

Guo Bing, who hadn't been drinking and was as cunning and gentle as usual, stood in front of the camera teacher and said, "Isn't it exciting enough just to eat?"

The crowd laughed at him.

Wen Nuo said, "Director what do you want to do just say it."

Guo Bing smiled and said, "The last day of the West Side Station is now, and we are in the last quarter of the Red and Blue Tour. Given that the last stop of the time of the, there are too many things, I'm afraid that you will not be able to emotionally come over by that time, and there is no time to emotionally come over, so let's review the three stops of the South Side, the North Side, and the West Side right now. Everyone summarize each of these past three stops in one word."

Hu Ying asks, "Can you summarize the last three weeks in one word?"

"To summarize a station in one word each," Guo Bing explains, "let's all start with the South Side station, the very beginning of our red and blue tour. "

Everyone just smiled, and Di Xingchen leaned back in his chair and rubbed his neck.

"I'll go first then." Huo Cheng still took the lead.

Everyone just looked at him.

Huo Cheng wore a formal dress today, probably used to seeing his usual rough look, everyone is still a bit uncomfortable. Wearing a black suit, he also seemed to be bound by the suit to his soul, he looked much more formal and quiet, his hands against his chin and said, "Surprise."

Yan Zhi smiled a little at that and said, "Took the words right out of my mouth."

Guo Bing smiled and said, "Surprise?"

"Yes, surprise." Huo Cheng didn't explain too much and was silent for a while before looking at Guo Bing.

Guo Bing nodded.

"My adjective is accidental." Tuan Yihua then picked up.

But unlike Huo Cheng's simple and concise words, he added one more line of explanation; "Because before I came to participate in this program, I didn't actually think about actually falling in love in this program. So when I realized it myself ...... I felt very surprised."

"This should be a thought that many people have, right?" Hu Ying said.

Everyone just laughed.

Lin Qingning thought for a moment and said, "In fact, on this program, every day is different, love is equivalent to a year or a few months, condensed into a few weeks, I just entered the red and blue hut to the end of the day of the South City station, in fact, the idea is different. If I had to use one word to describe it, I would probably use the word anticipation. It would have been looking forward to the next three stops at that point."

Hu Ying Crooked his head for a moment, "If I were to find a word to summarize my South Side station, it would be Sea King ......"

Everyone just laughed.

Guo Bing laughed and said, "Be serious."

Hu Ying smiled and said, "Really ah, the netizens do not all say that I am like a flower butterfly in the South City station, I seem to have chased after several here eh."

So much so, he chased a few and hit a wall.

God, for the first time in his life he was so miserable.

It's kinda embarrassing when you think about it like that.

He craned his head to look at Di Xingchen next to him.

Di Xingchen took another sip of wine.

Hu Ying smiled and asked, "Do you want to drink to strengthen your courage?"

Di Xingchen smiled, blushed slightly, and said, "My word would be out of condition. I was out of condition the entire time I was at South City Station."

Di Xingchen didn't say much. He felt that the others should understand what he meant.

Hu Ying nodded her head, a smile on her lips.

He got the point of the show's setup for this segment, and he had a feeling the ratings for this segment would explode.

On point is the best.

Everyone looks at Yan Zhi again.

"My word is what Huo said earlier, surprise." Yan Zhi said.

Because he didn't expect to see Di Xingchen on this show again.

Guo Bing nodded and looked at Pei Xu beside him.

Pei Xu smiled and leaned back in his chair.

"He's supposed to be punching his face, right?" Hu Ying said with a smile.

"Has the South City Station ...... started yet?" Tuan Yihua asked implicitly.

Di Xingchen pursed her lips and snuck in another sip of wine, her entire internal organs on fire.

Pei Xu said, "The overall feeling at my South Side stop was sour."

The word was a surprise, Huo Cheng, and they all looked at him.

Pei Xu explained, "I was feeling kinda marginalized at the time."

That's true.

Everyone thinks he's an outsider.

That's what allowed him to pick up the slack at North Side Station!

Di Xingchen thought to herself, "Pei Xu was a sourpuss back then.

He couldn't help but think of Pei Xu's pitiful face as she was secretly jealous and anxious and didn't know what to do.

Hearing Pei Xu say that his heart is sour, how his heart is sweet.

All his sour is his sweet.

"Where is Wen Nuo?" Guo Bing asked.

Wen Nuo says, "Grateful."

He said and glanced toward Di Xingchen.

Di Xingchen, from South City Station, is like a beam of light to him.

Lin Qingning smiles and says, "This recap really gives me a feeling that it's almost over."

Huo Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, raised his glass and said, "Come on, here's to our past South Side station."

Everyone stood up and had another toast.

At this moment the atmosphere was gentle and calm, without any hostility or competition, or embarrassment or helplessness, there were only infinite feelings and memories of this trip for the eight people.

"Here is the North City Station." Guo Bing said, "It's better if Huo comes first."

Without waiting for Huo Cheng to say anything, Hu Ying said, "This stop should be great."

Huo Cheng, his face red from drinking, put his hands on the table and said, "My main feeling from this stop was a roller coaster."

Hu Ying They laughed at that.

Tuan Yihua said, "I would probably describe this stop as tangled."

Lin Qingning said, "My word is lost."

Everyone sniffs and glances towards Pei Xu, who is pinching her teacup, her eyes looking at the meal on the table.

Hu Ying says, "My word is gobsmacked. The North City stop really opened my eyes and I realized that we had a crouching tiger and hidden dragon of a guest."

Even the staff next to him laughed after he said that.

Lin Qingning couldn't help but pat Hu Ying's shoulder, "Why are you so cute."

Hu Ying smiled and looked to Di Xingchen on the right.

Di Xingchen was still smiling, with a gentle expression.

This link is still more or less a little bit of pressure for him, but the good thing is that everyone has a good atmosphere, and he did not feel very embarrassed, he instead some feelings, moved, said, "I North City Station's biggest feeling is shock."

Everyone laughed again.

"At that time, you suddenly realized the flavor, right?" Hu Ying asked with a smile.

Di Xingchen blushed slightly.

Yan Zhi added some hot water to Di Xingchen's teacup, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he put down the kettle and said, "Anxiety."

Di Xingchen looked at Yan Zhi at that.

Hu Ying said, "Were you anxious at the North City Station? I don't see it, I feel like you're always calm and relaxed, and you're always doing everything slowly."

Yan Zhi just laughed and said, "Maybe I'm well disguised."

"Yan used to stay up all night playing games in the last few days." Wen Nuo said.

"I had a pretty anxious second half." Yan Zhi said.

Pei Xu spoke immediately after, saying, "My word is hope."

Everyone then looks to Pei Xu.

He's so informative with that word, Hu Ying said, "Brother Pei North City Station is the king of pickups, right?"

The North City stop is Pei Xu's rise to prominence, and if he was confused and sour on the first stop, he did have a spring in his step on the North City stop.

The cold north city is Pei Xu's spring.

In conclusion Wen Nuo said, "My biggest feeling about North City Station is bewilderment."

He actually tried to describe his North Side station as "lost".

He's always been like a transparent person.

"So shall we have a drink for our North Side station as well?" Lin Qingning took the initiative to moderate the atmosphere.

"Come on." Huo Cheng raised his glass.

"Is Huo going to get drunk again today?" Hu Ying asked.

Huo Cheng said, "Everybody get drunk today."

"We're supposed to be the most drunk guests ever in a love roundup, right?" Hu Ying said with a smile.

"I'm telling you guys, you can't even broadcast when you're drunk." Guo Bing said, "Any clip where you're drunk, we're going to cut it out for you."

"Then we can drink it more safely." Huo Cheng said with a smile.

Everyone laughed and made another toast.

When he sat down, Huo Cheng flushed and said, "So is this the next stop on our West Side?"

Everyone just looked at him.

That's the most important part of their session, the state of their respective emotional development can be inferred from their respective adjectives.

Huo Cheng is the one person who has made the biggest difference at West Side Station.

Di Xingchen ran out of paper towels, he looked down for a moment, Yan Zhi realized what he was looking for and turned his head to look for a paper towel, only to have Pei Xu hand it to them directly, placing it between them.

Di Xingchen took a paper towel and wiped his palm that had rubbed on the soup stains, just as he heard Huo Cheng say, "It's hard to describe my West Side station in one word, I don't know what to say. You guys go ahead, I'll think about it."

Yihua said, "Do your best."

He smiled, looking at no one in particular, and simply said, "Won't dwell on it."

Lin Qingning said, "I would summarize the West Side Station by putting it down."

With that he looked to Pei Xu, his gaze stoic.

Hu Ying said, "My Westside station is ...... gas crying."

Everyone roared with laughter again.

Hu Ying laughs, "Really, I thought the West Side stop was going to be my high point."

He said and deliberately gave Pei Xu and Yan Zhi a vicious look at them, "I didn't expect everyone to be so powerful one by one!"

Lin Qingning couldn't help but pat Hu Ying's shoulder again.

"Where's Xingchen?" Guo Bing looked at Di Xingchen with a smile.

Huo Cheng also looked at Di Xingchen at this time.

Di Xingchen pursed her lips for a moment, both hands going to her pockets, grasping, as if in thought.

Pei Xu and the others all looked at him, Yan Zhi taking a sip from his glass, and Pei Xu quietly leaning back in his chair, staring at Di Xingchen.

Di Xingchen sat there, the lantern in the center of the table shining with a warm white light, illuminating his fairer complexion.

Di Xingchen thought for a moment and said, "Awakening."

Huo Cheng lowered his eyes slightly, his fingers curling up.

Hu Ying says, "Awakening ...... what kind of adjective is that ......"

Lin Qingning said, "I think that's a good word to use."

It's time for Di Xingchen to wake up at this stop.

Whatever aspect of awakening.

This part was actually very difficult for Di Xingchen, the further he went, the more difficult the answers became, and he was afraid that he would say something too explicitly emotional and make the whole meal cold.

But Di Xingchen is a great word, on point, and won't upset anyone.

Yan Zhi thought for a moment and said, "My West Side vocabulary is apprehensive."

Hu Ying immediately looked at Yan Zhi upon hearing this, "Really? I really didn't see it."

Well, there's probably more than enough that he didn't see.

Everyone looks to Pei Xu.

Apparently after today's tandem jump, Pei Xu has become the public enemy of the whole crew.

Di Xingchen looks at Pei Xu along with the crowd.

Pei Xu says, "Sweet and sour."

"Sour, sweet and sour." Hu Ying said slowly.

Does that mean he's sour and sweet because he's slowly joining the fray from sour outsider and winning a favorable, but not yet stable, position?

Wen Nuo says in the background, "My West Side vocabulary is effort."

"It's a bit like Tuan's." Hu Ying said.

Wen Nuo then smiled.

Everyone looked at Huo Cheng.

Huo Cheng looked at everyone and thought that sometimes knowing too much might not be a good thing.

He looked at everyone's demeanor and it seemed to be okay, whether it was awakening or sweet and sour, it seemed to be okay to them.

He licked his lips and said, "Look forward to it. Look forward to the next stop."

He finally managed to be gentle, with everyone, including himself.

He raised his glass and said, "To our West Side station and to our upcoming last stop."

Everyone stood up to raise their glasses, and their glasses touched each other. There were so many glasses that Di Xingchen only touched Hu Ying and Wen Nuo and Yan Zhi's, and just as he was about to take them back, Pei Xu's glass tilted gently over and touched his glass, making a crisp sound, and the lanterns in the center of the table shone down on the bottoms of their glasses, casting horizontal and vertical patterns in the glasses, and Di Xingchen drank the glass. Di Xingchen drank the wine in one go.

"The session is over, right?" Hu Ying asked Guo Bing.

Guo Bing smiles and says, "It's all over."

"Then the director should drink one with us." Lin Qingning said with a smile.

As soon as he said this, Hu Ying immediately followed and chimed in, "The director touched one with me."

He said and brought over a useless teacup, "A director has to use a big cup."

Guo Bing laughed and said, "I can't hold my liquor."

"All the more reason to drink!" Huo Cheng seemed to be suddenly bold again, picking up a nearby bottle of wine and pouring a large glass full for Guo Bing, he pinched the glass and handed it over, the wine spreading out from the mouth of the glass and wetting his fingertips.

Guo Bing took it in his hand, looked at these eight excellent men, and was quite emotional, Hu Ying said: "Does the director have any toast?"

Guo Bing smiled and said, "I actually have a lot of things I really want to say to you guys ...... Save it for the last night, I'll say it."

Everyone just laughed, and Di Xingchen could even anticipate the atmosphere of the last night.

He should be crying too.

He wanted to.
