Chapter 153: Give me a minute.
The East Side of the Bay looks big, but there's not a lot of places they can go.
It is impossible for anyone to wander aimlessly in the streets, or go to the mall, they will go to places that are more representative, such as riverside parks, beaches, small bridges, famous bookstores, science museums, underwater worlds, churches.
There aren't many locations, it's the timing that's hard.
It takes two people who both happen to be somewhere at the same time.
No, Hu Ying met Tuan Yihua at the Golden Beach.
Tuan Yihua also saw him and came towards him.
The two men snapped a quick hello.
"It's just me." Tuan Yihua said.
Hu Ying said, "Uh-huh," looked around again, and asked, "How long have you been here?"
"It's been over an hour." Tuan Yihua said, "Pei Xu also came here."
Hu Ying froze, "Is he gone?"
"Gone."
In fact, the chances of encountering Di Xingchen are the same if you continue to stay here and rush to the next attraction where Di Xingchen may appear.
Maybe in a few minutes Di Xingchen will show up on Golden Beach.
But Hu Ying couldn't wait, he moved on to the next location.
The next place he was going to visit was Silver Beach.
He may not be smart enough himself, but the others are, and the fact that Yihua and Pei Xu both came to the beach suggests that Di Xingchen is very likely to go to the beach!
Hu Ying can't help but gloat over her quick reflexes.
As it turns out, the East Side's sea is still way worse than the South Side's.
There are few tourists at Silver Beach, but there are also few shells. After they had searched for more than ten minutes, Di Xingchen saw Pei Xu looking back all the time, occasionally checking his watch.
"What time is it?"
"It's half past twelve." Pei Xu said looking over at him, "Are you hungry? Do you want to go eat first?"
"Kind of."
"Let's go eat first then." Pei Xu says, "I'm hungry too."
The two of them came back to the road, and Pei Xu went over to take his bag and put it in the car.
"Leaving so soon?" Guo Bing asked.
Pei Xu said, "Hungry, go eat."
Guo Bing looked at the other people's location and found that Huo Cheng had already returned to his place, while Hu Ying was only three kilometers away.
Seeing where Hu Ying went last, it's obvious that his next target is Silver Beach.
The car slowly drove away from the silver beach, in fact, there is a wide road around the fishing village, but Pei Xu took the small road in the village.
"Navigation doesn't even work well here." Di Xingchen said.
"I remember the way." Pei Xu said.
Guo Bing They followed, and just as they were also about to enter the fishing village, the staff member leaned over the window and said carefully, "Hu Ying's car."
They then saw Hu Ying's car drive past them.
When the car passed a kiosk, Pei Xu suddenly stopped the car and said, "I'm going to buy something."
Di Xingchen sat in the car and watched Pei Xu get out. There were a lot of hats and gloves hanging on the shelves outside the kiosk, so Pei Xu took two black baseball caps and went into the store.
In the car behind, the staff poked his head out of the window and glanced toward a small building diagonally ahead, "Huo seems to live in the white one."
The building was on the street behind the kiosk, and was the tallest building in the neighborhood, on the fourth floor where Huo Cheng was located, overlooking Silver Beach.
Not long after that they saw Pei Xu coming out of the kiosk with two hats.
Just then, the staff suddenly exclaimed, "Brother Huo!"
Guo Bing lowered his head slightly and saw Huo Cheng through the windshield; he had come out of his room and was walking down the rotating staircase on the far left side of the small building.
Pei Xu's car moved and drove slowly towards the front, everyone's heart was in their throat, Di Xingchen was sitting on the passenger side, brushing up on the restaurants in the neighborhood, as the car drove away from the intersection not far from the small white building, he looked up and said to Pei Xu, "There's a Xu Ji Fire Wonton restaurant right around here, it's so highly rated. "
Pei Xu turns his head, so he hands over his cell phone and shows it to Pei Xu.
"How to go?" Pei Xu asked.
"Just keep going, it's at the entrance to the village, next to Lookout Road."
The fire-roasted wonton store is not in a good location, but business is particularly good, and now it's midday, and Di Xingchen sees the store as they drive down Wanghai Road, still a few hundred meters away.
Because the front of that store was full of people.
"Too many people, okay?" Di Xingchen asked.
Pei Xu unbuckled her seatbelt and smiled, "Go, try it."
Di Xingchen smiled at that, excited as if he was on an adventure, he was nervous, but inexplicably thrilled.
Going on an adventure with Pei Xu is even more exciting.
He put on the hat that Pei Xu had bought, and handed the other one to Pei Xu, who put it on his head and got out of the car.
Di Xingchen put the mask on and said, "I got it."
Pei Xu follows behind with a handheld camera.
As soon as the two of them appeared, they attracted the attention of a bunch of customers, Di Xingchen walked straight to the front of the store, looked at the sign on the door, and said, "Boss, two bowls of wontons and two crispy fire roasts."
The boss glanced at him and said enthusiastically, "Alright, find a seat first!"
Pei Xu holds the camera on him with a smile in her eyes.
He saw that one of the table guests was getting up, and when the other left, he sat down on a small bench. The waitress aunt came over to clear the table and asked, "Are you guys on the air too?"
Di Xingchen looked up at the aunt, who smiled and said, "Our store is very famous, it's been on so many food shows."
Di Xingchen just laughed and asked, "Are there often live streamers who come to play?"
Auntie said, "Every other day! We're all thirty years old! Which platform are you guys on? Our boss said anyone with over 20,000 followers can come and try it for free."
She said turning her head to Pei Xu : "The young man has grown so tall."
"He's just stupid big." Di Xingchen said.
Pei Xu looked at him with a smile and sat down across from him. It was a short table with small benches, and he had long legs, so when he sat down there was no place to put his legs, so he stretched them all the way to Di Xingchen's. He looked to the side and took off his mask. Di Xingchen looked to the side and took off his mask.
Pei Xu also took off her mask and said, "Suddenly it occurred to me that we are recording the program normally, so if we are recognized, we are recognized, bright and early."
Di Xingchen just laughed and said, "Yeah, what's wrong with us."
"Are you vain?" Pei Xu asked him with a smile.
Di Xingchen doesn't say anything, glances at Pei Xu, smiles and lowers his head, seeing that Pei Xu's legs are stretched out to his side, and pushes his knee out against them.
Two young men next to them seemed to recognize them and took surreptitious pictures with their cell phones, but didn't dare to come forward.
This kind of kind of normal passersby see their reaction, probably not sure it is the two of them, but also afraid that they are recording the program ...... ordinary people are still more cautious about the matter of going on TV, and usually hide from the camera.
The restaurant served the food quickly, and in a few minutes the steaming wontons were brought up, roasted over a fire, and were especially delicious. Di Xingchen looked toward Pei Xu as he ate, and asked, "Don't you rarely come to a place like this to eat?"
"With Ms. Zhai it's about experiencing something new every day." Pei Xu said.
Di Xingchen then dislikes Pei Xu's leg again with a knee to the head.
Pei Xu's ears are even redder.
After a bowl of ravioli, Di Xingchen unbuttoned his jacket when he was sweating in the sun.
"Are you full?" Pei Xu asked.
Di Xingchen nods, "And you?"
Pei Xu said, "I could use another one."
Pei Xu then ordered another wonton.
Di Xingchen glanced to the side and realized that the two young men who had been filming them were still there.
About a few minutes later, he heard a rush of footsteps over, he turned his head, he saw three more people ran over, looks like they are all students in their late teens and early twenties, Di Xingchen distantly heard them excitedly whispered a few words, and then ran to the next table to sit down.
The two young men who had just stolen a picture of them also sat down with them.
They were very close, and each of their faces was red with excitement.
Di Xingchen, instead of being nervous, smiled and greeted, "Hello, guys."
As soon as he said hello, the guys screamed out in excitement.
"Are you guys taping a program?" A boy asked.
Di Xingchen then pointed to the camera on the table.
As soon as they saw the camera, they were shy in turn.
The photo of Pei Xu and Di Xingchen eating wontons by the side of the road was quickly posted on the Internet. The dilapidated residential building, the old faded acacia tree, the red signboard faded by the wind and rain, and the customers sitting outside in the sun, in such a chaotic environment, Di Xingchen and Pei Xu looked so conspicuous, and their skin color was whiter than the ordinary people, and they were taller than others. Their skin color was more than a shade lighter than the average person, and they sat taller than others.
[Fuck me, this picture!
[The two who are so absolute, the Rising Sun and the Stars are real!
[Isn't this really a warm-up for tonight's ski resort classic?]
These two are dating again? It's the day of the Rising Star's party, isn't it? It's time to release my treasured ski-resort sneak peeks!
A netizen then posted a picture of Pei Xu in a ski suit with his hair wet and his face red, looking miserable as he reached out and handed Di Xingchen the little red flag in his hand.
They're on the East Side now? Where's that on the map, Guan Hai District? Are there any sisters out there who want to meet them?
While it's not scary to be recognized, it's scary when there are a lot of people, so after dinner Pei Xu and Di Xingchen took the car and left.
"Where do you want to go next?" Pei Xu asked.
As a rule, they couldn't go home before dark, they had to be outside.
"To the beach? I haven't picked up enough shells." Di Xingchen said.
"It's too early to go now, we can wait for the low tide." Pei Xu looked at the time, "Are you sleepy, do you want to take a nap?"
Di Xingchen says, "A little bit. I slept so late yesterday, and I'm still a little uncomfortable with living alone for the first time, and I've been thinking about a lot of things."
"Then we'll rest in the car for a while while I find a quiet place."
Pei Xu said and drove the car to an extremely quiet street. At the end of that street was an abandoned factory, not a single car on the road, especially quiet.
"The director and the guys are still following us all the time." Di Xingchen said.
Guo Bing their car is parked far away from the roadside, there are staff down to smoke, the afternoon sunshine, Di Xingchen slightly open the window, you can hear the wind rolled on the ground of the leaves rustling.
"How did they get here?" Guo Bing was asked, "This side is too remote."
"Wherever there are fewer people, this Pei Xu, he's not honest now." Guo Bing said.
"But now that the two of them are alone, they must be flooded with pink bubbles. Just don't fail to broadcast it."
"That's hard to say, what it's like for a guy in his early twenties to fall in love, we've all been there."
What's it like to be in your early twenties?
It's the age when you can look at it and hold hands and it's all over the place.
Everyone looks towards Pei Xu's car, so far away from these two in order to give them some privacy.
This side is so remote, so remote that the first association a new car parked here gives is of the juvenile variety.
Di Xingchen put the chair down to recline.
This was the second time they had taken a break in the car, the first time was the time they had watched a movie, and they had also taken a break by the river on the outskirts of the city for a while before going to Old Street, and he remembered that the two of them had made a couple of jokes in the car, and Pei Xu suddenly got out of the car with her ears red and stood with her back to him.
Pei Xu was very cautious at that time, and he didn't know what to do at that time, the atmosphere was awkward and ambiguous.
But not anymore.
Pei Xu held his jacket out to him, "Cover up."
"Aren't you cold?"
"It's not cold in the car. I don't sleep." Pei Xu said.
Di Xingchen was like, "Whenever I get a chance I'll take my coat off and put it on you."
Pei Xu says, "I now realize that taking care of people is more gratifying than being taken care of. It's especially satisfying." He paused for a moment, but finally said, "I especially like taking care of you."
Pei Xu's ears turned red as he spoke. Di Xingchen was about to ask him why he suddenly turned red, when he saw Pei Xu turn off the camera.
As he did, Di Xingchen sat up immediately, and his heart beat violently all at once.
Pei Xu had her hand on the camera lens, her ears were red, and she turned her head to look at him. They both looked at each other now, and could understand each other's meaning almost immediately. Di Xingchen sounded like a firestorm, just as Pei Xu said, "Di Xingchen ......"
It was foul of him to whisper his name in that voice.
Di Xingchen glanced at Pei Xu and darted his eyes away again, saying only, "In the future Director Guo ...... is sure that you will let the camera follow you wherever you go."
"Off for a minute." Pei Xu said, looking at him.
Off this minute, not trying to do anything, it's just that he feels that the emotions and feelings are different on and off camera. A specially emphasized minute was a more productive minute than an hour. In such a minute of deliberate silence, their spirits entwined and rubbed together. Di Xingchen was prompted to embrace by the atmosphere, he pulled Pei Xu's jacket upward, smelling the familiar smell of mint, the smell of mint into his blood, at that moment he was no longer the guest of honor, Di Xingchen, just a young man in love at the age of twenty, he had all of the necessary reactions, mental and physical. He heard Pei Xu turn the camera back on, and he turned his head slightly sideways, looking out the window.
Pei Xu put the chair down and reclined as well.
Di Xingchen felt sure that if he and Pei Xu stayed like this all day, something would happen today. But he was in the same mood as when they had gone to eat wontons in the crowd, like an adventure that he and Pei Xu were embracing with anticipation and trepidation.
