Chapter 151: Fateful Encounters

The South Side has four seasons of spring, the North Side is a snowy kingdom, the West Side is rich in natural beauty and is known as a tourist city, and the East Side is a modern, contemporary and international city.

The city is a haven for young people, with its high-rise buildings, rich businessmen and businesswomen, and the mix of East and West, and its free and unrestrained atmosphere.

This is also the city with the largest number of red and blue fans. It's Friday, the broadcast day of Red and Blue Signal, and many media outlets are reporting on the latest "Red and Blue Phenomenon": because of the popularity of Red and Blue Signal, the box office of movies on Fridays is much lower than that of the same period in history, and the general market is not even as hot as that of Thursdays.

Everyone's holed up at home watching Red and Blue Signal.

"Every weekend, couples used to come out to watch movies and eat, but now on weekends, couples stay home and watch Red and Blue!"

"Nowadays, if you don't watch Red and Blue, you'll be out of date when you go out and talk to your friends, right?"

"I opened my circle of friends after work today, and boy, I feel like they could fight if they got together! I feel like they could go from online to offline about who's the best match for Di Xingchen."

"This episode is so exciting, just the two previews make me scream. Huo makes a wish, Pei Xu builds a snowman, Yan Zhi does a magic trick, all three famous scenes will take place, and at the end of the episode, the houses will be re-divided, so I don't know who's going to live with Di Xingchen!!!"

When Di Xingchen arrived at Dongcheng, it was already dark.

The program group arranged for him is a residential house by the sea, a small two-story building, all of which was chartered by the program group, the staff lived downstairs, and he lived upstairs alone.

He was still a little uncomfortable living alone at first.

"The first session of our East City Station is [Fated Encounters], the eight guests are all in the same district, but they live in eight different places, and these eight places are all randomly selected by the eight of you yourselves." Guo Bing said, "You can wander around after breakfast tomorrow, free traveling, dating whoever you run into, and counting how many you run into."

Whoever meets Di Xingchen first will spend the most time with Di Xingchen. It is possible that a guest will bump into Di Xingchen on the first day, or that a guest will not meet Di Xingchen by the end of the session.

Depends on God's will.

This arrangement would seem more romantic.

Di Xingchen pulled back the curtains and glanced out the window, vaguely able to see the sea under the moonlight, calm and vast.

"It's getting late, you go eat first." Guo Bing said, "Take care of yourself and try not to let anyone recognize you."

"Don't we have to cook for ourselves this week?" Di Xingchen asks.

"It's the last week, so don't waste your time cooking." Guo Bing said.

"So do we have eight more people to eat with?" Di Xingchen asked.

"After the recording is all over," Guo Bing said and added, "if you'd all still like to sit down and have dinner together, we won't be filming anymore at that point, and you'll all be free agents already."

Di Xingchen changed his clothes and went out.

This side is a bit like Changping Village, except that the weather is much colder than in the southern city, and the sea breeze blows from the end of the street, freezing him to the bone. Because of the cold, there were hardly any people on the streets, occasionally passing by some restaurants and stores, Di Xingchen realized that most of them were watching Red and Blue Signal.

It was such an amazing feeling that every time he passed a store, he could almost always see The Red and Blue Signal playing on the store's television, and he could hear where it was playing now just by walking past those stores.

He found a restaurant with few customers and ordered a bowl of noodles. The owner went below, and the owner's wife sat in a chair, watching Red and Blue Signal with great interest.

Now the TV is showing him going down with Huo Cheng.

It was his first time chasing a live broadcast, and in front of strangers, and Di Xingchen could have stubbed his toe on three acres of land in embarrassment just listening to his conversation with Huo Cheng.

Huo Cheng is asking the camera, "Have you guys seen pictures of Star as a child too, how about it, isn't it cute?"

"He just grew up seeing it."

Huo Cheng said, "Definitely milkable."

God, what a shameful conversation, and how he didn't feel it at all at the time!

The boss served his noodles, Di Xingchen quickly said "thank you", and when the boss left, he took off his mask and ate his noodles with his back to the boss and his wife.

Then he heard the boss's wife say, "I even want to support Huo Cheng. He's poking too much at this wish!"

He whipped his head around and realized the boss's wife was talking into her cell phone.

He then heard another woman's voice from his cell phone, "We Mars CP fans really burst into tears! I don't care, Di Xingchen in the end if we don't choose Huo, I will definitely cry!"

"He desires to poke people well and I'll stand him for a second!" The boss's wife said.

The owner laughed and said, "This kind of program must be all fake and scripted, how do you guys look so real."

"What script, you don't look at what kind of actors are acting nowadays, they are a bunch of vegetarians, their acting can be realistic like this, they can get a movie star!"

Di Xingchen couldn't help but smile, thinking, "What did Huo Cheng wish for that made them so excited?

Didn't the cameraman say he didn't get it?

Di Xingchen listens with his ears and eats the noodles. When the part about him and Huo Cheng passes, the camera cuts to Hu Ying and Yan Zhi, and it feels much better to listen to this part, and it's not awkward anymore. Later on, he and Huo Cheng are trapped at the bottom of the mountain, and Hu Ying and the others return to Hut No. 1 one after another, and he finishes the noodles.

He scanned the code and paid, put on his mask and said, "Boss, it's paid for."

"Okay." The boss said and looked back at him.

Before leaving, Di Xingchen looked at the TV with her mask on and saw Pei Xu building a snowman in the snow.

The filters in "Red and Blue Signal" are particularly well used, and with the piano soundtrack, the scene of Pei Xu building a snowman in the snowy sky is so romantic that it's almost explosive. Di Xingchen was dumbfounded for a moment, wanting to laugh and feeling heartbroken at the same time, it was very complicated, and then a beam of light came out from the screen, the camera panned over, and a car slowly drove towards him.

The headlights illuminated the snow particles, the snowmen holding hands, the independent Pei Xu in black, and he and Huo Cheng in the car.

This clip is really superb, no wonder the fans are high on raw.

He saw his boss's wife stomping her feet in excitement, "Oh my gosh oh my gosh, watching my love rival come back from a date with my favorite guy, I love this kind of drama so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Di Xingchen blushed and walked out of the store.

Once outside, he was greeted by a biting cold wind, and he pulled his zipper up to his collar, suddenly intent on finding it himself first.

He'll just wander around for a while, maybe he'll run into one of the guests?

He took out his cell phone, ready to go online to search Huo Cheng made a wish, the results of a microblogging open, he saw the first hot search on the first, hanging [Huo Cheng make a wish].

He clicked on it, and in the shaky camera, Huo Cheng's freezing red hand shivered as he wrote his wish down on a piece of paper, and as the video showed him moving his head up to look at it, Huo Cheng blocked it with his hand and said, "I can't show you now."

"You just let the camera catch it all." He said.

Huo Cheng's wish was not clearly captured, but his wish was still captured by the camera.

Di Xingchen took one look and froze.

In fact, he wished for this kind of thing with the mood of recording the program for fun, in front of the camera wish, he did not take it very seriously, but to see Huo Cheng wish, he was still poked a bit.

Because he felt that Huo Cheng believed in it.

"I hope Di Xingchen's wishes come true."

While they are both heading down, the camera teacher's camera pans back to shine on Huo Cheng's wishing lock, and there is a conversation between the two of them coming from outside the picture as they head down the stairs:

"In a while, or in a few years, if we get a chance to revisit our hometown, we can come and see how our locks are doing, and see if all our wishes have been granted."

"Yeah."

"Then the appointment is made haha."

Di Xingchen pursed his lips and put down his cell phone as the wind blew from the end of the street. As he walked towards the beach, an interlude from Red and Blue Signal came from the stores around him. It was the most commonly used piece of pure music in Red and Blue Signal, called "Good bye brave world", a piece of music extremely suitable for the romance genre, and Guo Bing used it most often to cut the trailers, with various staggering and running shots, which could instantly cheer people up every time.

Tonight's "Red and Blue Signal" rely on tight editing, successive famous scenes, once again break through its own highest ratings, the top ten of the hot search dominated seven, which [Huo Cheng wishing], [Yan Zhi a sky full of stars], [Pei Xu Di Xingchen four-finger even bombing] in the top three alternating cycle, the competition of the three CP can be said to have entered the white-hot, the three CP fans are all in the rave, the issue of the Ended in the ice and snow cultivation field, ended in the moment when all the guests stood at the top and leapt down, but also the enthusiasm of the audience hanged to the peak, the program ended, [Red and Blue Saturday plus more] the hot search has exploded again.

[My goodness, I'm twisted into a twist in my bed from watching tonight!

[Tonight's Red and Blue could seal the deal!

[How can a romance variety be even better than an idol drama!!!! How can there be such a wonderful Shuriken, there may not be any after the previous one, right!!!]

[Tomorrow's Ski Resort PK! And the Top Shukatsu Truth!

[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Shit, the anticipation is killing me!

[Toe-picking and wanting to stop, is this the magic of the love synthesized Shura!

I'm sweating from watching it, it's really embarrassing and awesome, I ran around the living room screaming twice after watching it, sisters who know how I feel like this!

[Hahahahaha, me too, my mom says I'm nuts.]

[Laughing out loud under the covers!]

Although "Red and Blue Signal" had exploded a long time ago, Mama Zhai and the others still felt the power of the fifth installment.

Today, everywhere we go, people are discussing Red and Blue Signal, and the private messages of the family group are exploding, all asking Di Xingchen who he really likes. Zhai's mom put the family roses into a vase, sprayed some water on the roses, and said to Zhai's dad, "This is all like a dream."

I never imagined Di Xingchen would become so popular in this program.

Originally, they just hoped that Di Xingchen would be a bit popular through this program, so that she could find a job after graduation.

The next morning Di Xingchen woke up and was greeted with hugs from the show's cast and crew, who at first thought something had happened, but later realized that yesterday's ratings and hits had reached new heights.

Di Xingchen rode his bicycle through the streets with his bag on his back, and Guo Bing and the others sat in the car, following him at a distance.

"It's really too bad to go out and wear a mask, it's a pity for Di Xingchen's such a good looking face, don't you guys think Di Xingchen looks better than when she first joined this program?"

"Seems more confident."

"And the nourishment of love."

"It can't be helped, our show is so popular now that unless we go abroad, or don't go outdoors, we'll be recognized everywhere."

Guo Bing sat in his car and looked at Di Xingchen in the distance, who rode his bicycle through the winter sunshine with a bag on his back and a white shirt. The wind was blowing his dark and thick hair.

"Where are the other guests, have they all left?" He asked.

"All departed."

Eight guests in different places, either by bike, on foot, or in a car, set out on a [fated encounter].

This time it really was completely fair and random, and there was no behind-the-scenes manipulation on the part of the show, and all eight guests were even roughly the same distance away from each other.

Di Xingchen, who had never been to Dongcheng before and was completely unfamiliar with the city, rode his bike while looking at the map on his cell phone.

He could meet up with one of the guests the next minute, or he could hang out all day and not meet one.

He had absolutely no clue as to where the other seven would go.

He was going to treat the day as a free-for-all, and he'd go where he wanted to go, not think about anything else, and meet whoever he could.

Dongcheng is a northern city near the sea, the street he walked through, the leaves on both sides of the road have fallen off, the tree branches are bare, the street is also very quiet, occasionally see sunbathing and playing cards old man and old woman. He first went to visit the nearby old train station, and then went to the silver beach.

He picked up too few shells in the South City, Pei Xu gave him shells, he felt that it is not appropriate to give to others, he still pick up some of his own to give away better. The sea of the East City and the South City can not be compared, and generally can pick up shells of the beach is very little, silver beach is considered more remote one, he searched online, said the East City so many beaches, to pick up shells, the first choice or silver beach, although a little bit remote, but also because of the remoteness, so the tourists are also fewer, and wait until the afternoon tide, good luck can pick up the Patrick Patrick Star.

Silver Beach was in the northwest corner of the Observatory District, and he walked all the way there, and the good thing about not following the camera was that none of the people along the way recognized him. He also saw his billboard at a bus stop for an intimate photo.

Guo Bing's car had been following Di Xingchen from a distance.

"I think he's going over to Silver Beach."

"Doesn't Huo live on Silver Beach?"

"Huo went out early in the morning and is not at Silver Beach!"

"This is really shady."

"Yan Zhi went to Di Xingchen's neighborhood. Unfortunately, Di Xingchen came out."

"We're not going to meet none of them today, are we?"

"Hu Ying meets up with Wen Nuo, they talk for a few minutes and then separate, laugh it up."

"Pei Xu seems to be heading towards Silver Beach. You guys watch his course of action."

"Pei Xu seems to be driving there... they two aren't really going to run into each other, are they?!!!"

Guo Bing took a look at everyone's location, Pei Xu and Di Xingchen's red dots were rapidly approaching, one of them was on the east-west road and the other on the north-south road, and they were about to meet at the intersection outside of the Yinhai District.

"Quickly, quickly, get the camera to the intersection and get ready for the third view!"

Immediately, a car of the program team drove to the intersection in advance, and a camera teacher hurriedly ran out of the car and stood under the street sign at the intersection with his bag.

There was a green light up ahead, and Di Xingchen turned his head toward the cameraman disguised as a passerby on the side of the road.

It's not a good idea to pretend. He's seen his camera.

He thought the program group is trying to shoot him panoramic shots, but afraid to cause passers-by alert, so a little camouflage, and did not pay attention, riding a bike from the intersection through the past, because the green light time is a little tight, looking at the red, he pedaled a few times, and finally stood up directly on the bike, the sunlight shines on his white shirt, the shirt rustling and fluttering, and that kind of youthful fluttering.

Di Xingchen thought that today he was also considered to be giving up the temperature for the sake of elegance.

So cold!

Guo Bing and the others in the car half stood up nervously as they saw the north-south street lights come on and Pei Xu's car drive through the intersection.

"Did he just see Di Xingchen? Did he see Di Xingchen? Guo Bing asked the others nervously.
