Chapter 145: Pei Xu's Heartwarming SMS

Pei Xu is really here to try his luck, he has no intention of coming to the door, he is just too happy to sit still.

He had expected to receive this text message, but did not realize that the moment he received it, he would be so excited.

How can he not go to Di Xingchen.

It's not even human nature to be able to suppress it.

So he drove over.

As he sat here he kept thinking, I wonder if Di Xingchen would have expected him to come. Like the text message he thought he would receive, but was so nervous and apprehensive until he did, he sat here in the same mood.

Waiting for a mind to have the same thought.

So when he saw Di Xingchen looking around with an umbrella, Pei Xu sat in the car and kept laughing. The sound of rain on the windows, he leaned over the steering wheel and looked at Di Xingchen and laughed.

No one knew his joy.

He smiled as he watched Di Xingchen pass in front of the car, walk to the end of the street, and enter the flower store where they had last been.

He got out of the car, opened his umbrella and stood on the curb waiting for him.

Then he saw Di Xingchen coming out of the flower store with the flowers in his arms, and when he came back, Di Xingchen didn't use the sidewalk, he walked in the middle of the street, looking both ways, and then turned back to look at the car coming up behind him.

Pei Xu ran a few steps forward and called out, "Mr. Zhai, who are you waiting for?"

Di Xingchen looked back and saw Pei Xu wearing a black coat and a black umbrella, if not for his fair complexion, he would have disappeared into the night.

Di Xingchen was shocked and delighted, "Why are you here!"

Pei Xu smiled and said, "I came to try my luck, and look, I did."

Di Xingchen looked at Pei Xu with a smile.

Pei Xu's smile was too warm, his eyes too gentle, and his demeanor was clearly different from before. A large part of the reason for this is probably all related to the text message he sent.

Di Xingchen suddenly got shy and his face got a little hot as he held the flowers and looked around and said, "Did you just get here? Or have you been here for a long time?"

"Been here a while." Pei Xu said.

"So I just passed by, didn't you see it?" Di Xingchen asked.

Pei Xu says, "See."

"Then why didn't you call me."

Pei Xu smiled and said, "Look what you came out for."

Di Xingchen froze, then held up the flowers in her hand and said, "I came out to buy them."

"Oh." Pei Xu says, "Seeing you looking around, I thought you were waiting for someone."

"Oh shit." Di Xingchen laughed again, his face hotter.

Feel like you've been caught by Pei Xu.

Undeclared things, he did not say, Pei Xu estimate also guessed. Pei Xu did not say, he also guessed.

The two of them stood face to face quietly for a while, Pei Xu just smiled faintly, when he smiled it was like an iceberg melting, it was so nice.

"Giggling," Di Xingchen asked Pei Xu, "do you want to go up and sit down?"

But Pei Xu doesn't want to go up there.

Although pleasing Papa Zhai and Mama Zhai is also important.

"Are you in a hurry to get up there?" Pei Xu asked, and without waiting for Di Xingchen to answer, he said, "I haven't had dinner yet."

"I haven't eaten either. Come on up then, I'll cook something."

"Let's go eat outside." Pei Xu said.

When he went upstairs, he was left to accompany Zhai's father and mother.

He just wanted to be alone with Di Xingchen today.

"We'll be recognized if we go to dinner like this, right?" Di Xingchen said.

He's not afraid of being recognized personally, he's just afraid that being photographed will affect the show. After all, it's a romance variety show, before the finale, he and Pei Xu went out to eat together, if they were photographed, wouldn't that be a spoiler? The other guests will also know about it, so when they meet tomorrow, Hu Ying and the others will definitely ask.

"Do you eat noodles?" Pei Xu asked.

"Bubbly?"

Their neighborhood is in a great location, right next to a shopping center, and a few hundred meters east from the neighborhood there is a huge park with vending machines with all kinds of snacks, drinks, and buckets of instant noodles and self-heating boxed lunches.

Di Xingchen saw the vending machine and said, "You know this neighborhood well."

"I saw it on the way here." Pei Xu says, "There's a pavilion over there, we'll eat there."

Pei Xu took two steps, then suddenly turned back, took a suit jacket from the car, handed it to Di Xingchen and said, "Put it on."

Di Xingchen put that jacket on.

He's still a little cold.

The two of them walked to the vending machine, used their cell phones to scan the code to buy two buckets of instant noodles, and received hot water from the vending machine next to it. Pei Xu carried the two buckets of instant noodles towards the pavilion, while Di Xingchen received two cups of hot water in disposable cups, and followed behind with the hot water.

Because of the rain, there was not a single person in the park, and the gazebo was filled with small golden lights, the light was just right. The two of them sat down on the bench of the pavilion, Di Xingchen suddenly heard a few ducks quacking behind him, he turned his head to look into the lake behind him, and saw two white ducks swimming past the surface of the water.

The noodles smelled tantalizingly good, and Di Xingchen looked back and asked, "Are you home yet?"

"Back. But my parents aren't home." Pei Xu said.

"I went to bed as soon as I got home and slept until now." Di Xingchen said.

"Get some rest at home for a few days, you'll be in for it next week." Pei Xu said.

Di Xingchen looked up at Pei Xu and opened the lid of the noodles, the aroma came out, he stirred it with his fork, Pei Xu said, "It smells so good, I haven't eaten noodles in years."

The two of them were sitting on chairs eating noodles, Di Xingchen got up and ran to the vending machine to buy two packs of paper towels, Pei Xu's face was red from the spiciness, Di Xingchen laughed and said "Let's switch, I've got this one with sauerkraut, it's not spicy."

Pei Xu handed him the noodles in his hand, and saw Di Xingchen didn't mind it at all, directly picked up the fork and ate it, Pei Xu's heart was even sweeter, holding the bucket of noodles with pickled vegetables and drinking a few mouthfuls of hot soup.

It seemed to be better than any instant noodles he'd ever had before.

"When was the last time you had instant noodles?" Di Xingchen asked.

"When I was studying abroad." Pei Xu said, "When I first went there, I didn't quite get used to it, and there were fewer Chinese restaurants in our area, so then I bought a bunch of instant noodles."

"I thought there would be a nanny following to take care of you."

"I was completely self-sufficient in college, working on my own to earn tuition and having a miserable time." Pei Xu said.

Although Pei Huanong is a gentle mother, she is very strict when it comes to education, but Zhou Jiangbai often gives him pocket money secretly, but he doesn't spend it, he saves it all up and uses it to start his own business.

Pei Xu seems to be interested in letting him get to know himself, so he keeps talking about his past, such as when he went to school abroad, when he first arrived at Zhou's house, his mother Pei Huanong, his stepfather Zhou Jiangbai, and Zhou Lan from Red and Blue Signal, all of which he talks about.

Di Xingchen mood is not at all pink and ambiguous, but very homely. Di Xingchen's embarrassment gradually disappeared, and when he finished the noodles, he sipped the hot water from the cup.

Di Xingchen's cell phone suddenly rang, and it was Zhai's father who called, "Why aren't you back yet?"

"I'm hanging out, I'll be back in a bit." Di Xingchen said.

After hanging up the phone, Di Xingchen stood up.

Pei Xu stood up and said, "Then let's go back, you go back and get some rest too."

Di Xingchen laughed and said, "You came all the way here, so I treated you to a bucket of instant noodles."

"It smells good." Pei Xu said.

"It smells great ......" Di Xingchen repeats with a smile.

Pei Xu wants to reach out and touch Di Xingchen's head with a very strong desire.

But he held his hand out and held it back.

The two of them drove back to the outside of the neighborhood, Di Xingchen got out of the car with the flowers in his arms, and Pei Xu held an umbrella and brought him to the entrance of the neighborhood. Di Xingchen asked, "Can you go to the Happy Sunday taping tomorrow?"

Pei Xu says, "Can go."

Di Xingchen then held the umbrella he was holding open and stepped out from under Pei Xu's umbrella, "I'll go then."

Pei Xu gave a "hmm". Di Xingchen went straight in and didn't look back, waiting until no one could be seen before Pei Xu walked back, running after a few steps, like a young and reckless young man with a smile on his face.

Di Xingchen returned home, Zhai mother a glance to stare at him not to let go.

Di Xingchen hurriedly handed over the carnations in her arms, "I bought them for you."

But the reason why Zhai's mom was staring at him was surprisingly not because of the flower in his hand, but because of the clothes he was wearing.

"Whose suit is this?"

Di Xingchen froze and looked down before remembering that he was still wearing Pei Xu's suit.

He had to tell Zhai's mom and dad about running into Pei Xu downstairs.

Zhai's mother immediately gave her father a look that said, "See, I knew someone else would come," hugged the carnation and smelled it, and said, "It smells good."

The first time I received a flower in my life, it was from Pei Xu. The second time I received a flower, it was bought by my own son.

Zhai's father said, "Why didn't you tell him to come up and sit down? You should have said something on the phone just now, and I wasn't rushing you to come back early."

Di Xingchen said as she changed her shoes, "He was just passing through."

"Their family doesn't live in this neighborhood, does it?" Zhai's mom said.

Di Xingchen smiled, and then Zhai's mom laughed, and so did Zhai's dad.

Di Xingchen went back to his room and took the suit off, he had warmed it up and it smelled faintly of mint, Di Xingchen went to his arm and sniffed it.

He hung the suit on a hanger, intending to return it to Pei Xu when he made the next stop.

Zhai's mother asked from outside, "Are you hungry, do you want something to eat?"

"I just ate out." Di Xingchen said.

Zhai's mom pushed open the door to her room and asked, "You guys went to the restaurant?"

"We both ate bubbly in the park."

This is a very common thing, but I don't know what happened, but when I told Zhai's mom about it, Di Xingchen was suddenly a bit shy. As if having a meal in a restaurant is nothing, the two of them running to the park on a rainy day to eat noodles, the nature is completely different.

Sure enough, Zhai's mom froze for a moment and then said, "Why did you run to the park to eat instant noodles. Is he used to eating it?"

Pei Xu is a rich young man.

"It's better to just eat bubbly." Di Xingchen said.

Subconsciously, Pei Xu thought, what kind of upscale restaurant hadn't he been to, I guess this was his daily routine, running to the park in the middle of the night to eat instant noodles should be the first time for him, the young master of this rich family, to do such a thing.

It's just better to be different.

Zhai's mom laughed, then closed the door and went out, and after she went out, she said to Zhai's dad who was watching TV, "I think in all likelihood, Xing Chen is in love with Pei Xu."

Papa Zhai immediately sat up straight and asked in a low voice, "He said that?"

"I guessed." Jai's mom said.

"Pretty good, pretty good." Papa Zhai said with a smile.

"But as you wish."

Papa Zhai smiled and said, "Little Pei is quite good."

"It's quite good." Zhai's mom said, "And just ran off with Star to the park where the two of them went to eat instant noodles."

Zhai's father froze for a moment, then smiled, "Young people nowadays are quite good at romance."

Yes, a young couple so poor that eating instant noodles in a rented house is life, a rich young man running to the park to eat instant noodles on a rainy winter night becomes a romantic thing.

Zhai's mom sighed.

Papa Zhai asked, "What are you sighing about?"

Zhai's mother said, "The original look at these rich people chasing the stars, I am quite happy, and now the thought that he really want to fall in love with them ...... Pei Xu, his mother is Pei Huanong ah."

Who is Pei Huanong? The idol of their generation, the superstar of their time!

What kind of family was the Zhou family, not to mention. Hua Jiang City, which she passed by and didn't even dare to enter, was their family's ah.

And they, the Zhai family, are the most ordinary of the working class.

Zhai's father was unimpressed: "What kind of person can't my son be with now? It's not like the guests on the show are blind. Besides, now that Red and Blue Signal is so hot, how they talked about it is in everyone's eyes, and their family must be watching it and know about it."

That's what's so great about love synthesis.

Because he had already slept well, Di Xingchen could not sleep at night, so he lay on the bed and swiped his cell phone, and he realized that no matter whether he opened the microblogging or other video software, he could not swipe it for more than two or three times before he could see himself.

It's such an amazing feeling, even in my last life as a food anchor, I wasn't this out of the loop.

His Twitter followers are actually nearing 10 million.

It's amazing how fast the powder goes up.

He had countless private messages on Twitter, posting everything, showing him love, blowing rainbow farts, and even sending him some hot pictures, as well as many offers from small businesses.

He's received an unusually high number of commercial offers this week, but some of the bigger brands have been contacted through the show's team, and the main purpose has been to work together based on Red and Blue Signal, such as filming interstitials and so on, and no brands have bypassed the show's team by sending commercial offers to the man himself.

I guess it's all going to have to wait until after the show is over.

After all, they're not even halfway through the show's run yet, and a lot of people are still on the fence.

Instead, he was contacted by a teacher at their school who wanted him to take time out of his schedule to make an enrollment promotional video for their middle school dance.

Enrollment in Chinese Dance is usually in February and March of each year.

The raindrops on the window suddenly snapped and Di Xingchen twisted his head toward the window to see that it was watery and wet, and it was the wind, swirling the raindrops toward the window.

He felt a little cold and couldn't help but wrap the covers around him again.

It had been raining for days in the southern city, and the temperature was lower than in previous years, only about ten degrees. Raindrops hit the helmet, the eyes also turned into a blur, Yan Zhi reached out to wipe away the rain in front of his eyes, tilted his head to look at the Zhai family living in the small building, Di Xingchen home is dark, no light at all.

Di Xingchen's family moved away.

He rode his motorcycle through the alleys and finally all the way to the end of Changping Village and into Coastal Boulevard, the road on which he had driven Di Xingchen through the midnight hours, Di Xingchen right behind him, wrapped around his waist.

He sped along the coastline on his motorcycle in the rain, the chill of the rain chilling the jumpsuit he was wearing.

The TV screen was so bright that it illuminated Huo Cheng's face, Huo Cheng sat on the floor and watched Red and Blue Signal on the TV screen, he was bright, confident and big on the program, he climbed the mountain with Di Xingchen, lying on the railing and shouting to the vast mountains, the north wind froze his nose red, Di Xingchen stood beside him and smiled so Di Xingchen stood by his side, smiling so brightly.

Huo Cheng hangs his head with a cigarette in his mouth, his forehead resting against his knee.

A sedan pierced through the rainy night and slowly drove into the Zhou family mansion.

Pei Huanong and Zhou Jiangbai came back very late, and the first thing Pei Huanong did when he came back was to see Pei Xu.

"It's too late, it's not too late for you to see him tomorrow." Zhou Jiangbai said.

Pei Huanong smiled and said, "No, I'm dying of curiosity now."

Zhou Lan said Pei Xu got a text message from Di Xingchen!

How could this not make her happy!

She thought Pei Xu must be especially happy at the moment.

She ran upstairs and knocked on the door of the room.

"Come in."

Pei Huanong pushes open the door to see Pei Xu unpacking.

"Still not resting, huh?" Pei Huanong asked with a smile.

"Tomorrow is busier, so let's pack today." Pei Xu said.

They had a shorter break this time, recording Happy Sunday on Thursday, he had a meeting at the office on Friday, and they were leaving for the East Side on Friday night to kick off their last week of taping.

It's the last and most important week of this season of Red and Blue Signals, and he's got to get ahead of himself and be most prepared for the final confession.

Pei Huanong sat down in the chair next to her and asked impatiently, "I heard from your aunt that you got a heartfelt text message?"

Pei Xu actually smiled, "Uh, copy that."

Even Pei Huanong seldom saw him smile so coyly. Pei Huanong was even happier, genuinely happy for his son, so he said, "Did Di Xingchen give it to you?"

Pei Xu gave another "hmm".

Pei Huanong said, "What did his text message say?"

Pei Xu said, "It's not much, say it's nice to meet me."

Pei Huanong just laughed and said, "So did you text him, what did you text?"

Pei Xu said, "I sent a long one."

As the rain beat against the window, Di Xingchen leaned against the bed and unfolded the letter paper in his hand under the starlight lamp.

Pei Xu's heartfelt text message was long, he wrote:

[I used to be someone who seldom listened to songs, because of you, I like a singer and a few songs, and now I listen to them when I have nothing else to do. I used to be someone who didn't like flowers, because of you, now I think roses are also so pretty. I never thought of falling in love before, but I met you on a program. Before I met you, my life was so boring and empty, only work, financial figures, after I met you, my life changed so much. I hope I can learn more from following you in the future, Mr. Zhai, I'm glad to know you, please teach me more in the future.]

When Pei Xu received Di Xingchen's SMS, why did Di Xingchen smile like that when she saw Pei Xu's SMS.

Because the two of them actually thought of each other.

It's an unexpected and, when you think about it, logical coincidence.

That's why the heart is so sweet.

Di Xingchen smiles and lowers her head as Pei Xu's old black suit hangs next to her.
