Chapter 160: Fate

In fact, in less than ten seconds, Di Xingchen felt that he was out of breath. When Pei Xu let go of him in 20 or 30 seconds, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but Pei Xu held him.

I used to read novels, I saw that when the heroine kissed, she couldn't breathe, and the hero made fun of her, little fool, don't you know how to breathe through your nose?

Di Xingchen When I used to see this kind of bridge, I would be shocked by this kind of white bridge, but now that I have experienced it myself, I realize that when I am nervous and shy, anything is possible.

It wasn't that he didn't know, it was that he didn't dare, didn't dare even gasp. His lips were moist, redder than usual, and he turned his head to see Xiao Li and the others running toward them both. He pulls up his mask and puts it on, turning his head to meet the wind from the sea.

The cold sea air blew against his burning face.

"Brother Pei, you're sneaking off again!" Xiao Li charged.

Pei Xu hadn't recovered from the gentle passion she'd just experienced, her fingers curled slightly, and she didn't say a word.

Neither of them said a word, the atmosphere was really delicate, Xiao Li and Xiao Wei became shy and put down the camera for a while, before raising it again, focusing on both of them.

The light is dim, and Pei Xu and Di Xingchen are standing with their backs to them, facing the sea.

After a while, Pei Xu said, "Liu Shuang should come out later."

Di Xingchen turns toward the stage and Pei Xu follows him.

"What just happened?" Xiao Wei asked Xiao Li in a low voice.

"I don't know."

"I reckon what happened we couldn't broadcast even if we filmed it!" It's hard not to think about this situation!

"You shoot first, I'd better go talk to the director."

Xiao Li said and ran to Guo Bing.

As soon as he told him what happened, Guo Bing immediately asked, "Where are the other guests, hasn't anyone seen either of them yet?"

It's time to give Pei Xu a taste of his own medicine!

"The scene was so chaotic and they were in a crowd, it was hard to see them, I went looking for them earlier for ages!"

As soon as the staff member's words left his mouth, a familiar voice was heard, shouting in surprise, "Director Guo!!!"

Guo Bing turned his head and saw Hu Ying running over excitedly.

Guo Bing smiled and said, "Long time no see, handsome."

Hu Ying looked around toward them, "Director, did you come with Star, where is he? Is he here?"

Guo Bing said, "I can't tell you, you have to find out for yourself."

Hu Ying's eyes lit up even more upon hearing this, and immediately ran back and shouted, "Star is here too!"

Guo Bing only saw the back end of Yihua with them.

Tuan Yihua is wearing a very mature outfit today, a long coat with a tie and white shirt, businesslike and gentlemanly. Lin Qingning beside him is wearing black-rimmed glasses and a baseball cap, very low-key. Wen Nuo is still following them like a little brother.

Hu Ying rushed straight to the crowd and searched in the chaotic crowd. Guo Bing watched with a smile, and in a short while he saw Lin Qingning and the others come over to greet him.

After greeting, Duan Yihua, but they did not leave again, this side of the distance from the crowd a little distance, and in the corner of the road, the back is the green belt, in addition to the program staff, almost no one else.

"Just the four of you, what about Yan Zhi and Huo Cheng?" Guo Bing asked. Guo Bing asked.

"We haven't seen them." Lin Qingning asked, "Did they come too?"

"They're all here." Guo Bing said with a smile.

"Did Pei Xu and Star come too?" Lin Qingning asked.

Guo Bing nodded his head a little and said, "Don't you guys stand around here, go inside and feel the atmosphere of the festival, ah, come and have fun."

More and more people were gathering under the stage, Di Xingchen and Pei Xu were at first on the outskirts of a corner, but it wasn't long before they blended in with the crowd. Xiao Wei was holding a video camera, and many people thought he was the festival cameraman, making faces for the camera.

Di Xingchen has his hands in his pockets, a mask covering half of his face, his eyes staring at the stage, and he's not getting high, he's quiet like that.

He didn't care to watch the show right now, he was calm on the outside, but his mind was all stormy.

This one wasn't like the first time, and a few dozen seconds weren't just lips touching lips.

Pei Xu was very gentle, but the tongue, the tip of which touched together, directly made his legs lose their strength.

As he was thinking, he suddenly felt Pei Xu take another step closer to him, next to his arm.

Di Xingchen pursed his lips tightly under the mask, and a beam of rich red light shone through, reddening his brow as well, so brilliantly.

Knowing that Di Xingchen was there, Hu Ying was like a chicken blood.

He must be the first to find Di Xingchen!

Outside he had already looked once before, his main goal now was the inside of the crowd, but the more he went inside the crowd became denser and denser, he really couldn't squeeze in, so he picked a slightly less crowded place and jumped up to look, and just after jumping two times, he was gripped by someone's arm, and when he looked back, he saw a familiar face.

"Huo!" Hu Ying was overjoyed to see Huo Cheng at first sight.

He really misses Huo Cheng, he hasn't seen Huo Cheng since he left Xicheng. He misses Huo Cheng second only to Di Xingchen!

Huo Cheng didn't even wear a mask and was bearded, but he wasn't recognized.

"Just saw you jumping up and down all over the place." Huo Cheng said.

"Huo, give me a hand, I'm a bit short." He said.

Huo Cheng then lifted him up, Hu Ying was taller in the changing light, the blue light illuminated everyone's face as an avatar, he didn't see Di Xingchen but saw Pei Xu.

A man who was clearly a little taller than the others, even with his mask on, he recognized him.

"I saw Pei Xu." He said to Huo Cheng.

Huo Cheng put him down, and looking in Hu Ying's direction, he saw someone who looked a lot like Pei Xu at the right rear.

But the only reason he was sure the man was Pei Xu was because there was a younger man standing next to him.

Huo Cheng's heart skipped a beat when he saw Di Xingchen. Di Xingchen was standing beside Pei Xu, leaning forward a bit, and turned his head to say something to Pei Xu, probably because the scene was so chaotic, Pei Xu slightly lowered his head, and put down the camera in his hand.

Hu Ying took him by the arm and headed for Pei Xu and Di Xingchen.

Huo Cheng could not recover from the shock of seeing Di Xingchen for a long time, and allowed Hu Ying to pull him along.

Before Hu Ying and Huo Cheng could reach them, Pei Xu saw them.

"Huo and Hu Ying are here." He spoke to Di Xingchen.

Di Xingchen turned his head in the direction he was looking and saw Hu Ying excitedly waving at him.

Hu Ying managed to squeeze his way to Di Xingchen's front, he let go of Huo Cheng's hand and said excitedly to Di Xingchen, "I've been looking for you for a long time!"

It was inconvenient to talk in the crowd, and a few minutes later the four of them emerged from the crowd.

"When did you two meet?" Hu Ying asked Di Xingchen.

"Yesterday." Pei Xu replied.

Hu Ying immediately looked at Pei Xu upon hearing this, "You found Star yesterday?"

Jealousy!

Pei Xu, how did you get so lucky.

Pei Xu nodded once and said, "Have you seen anyone else?"

"Brother Duan and the others are all here as well." Hu Ying's excitement from earlier was already gone, he glanced at Pei Xu and then Di Xingchen, and he didn't know why, but he always had a very bad premonition.

"They're over there." Huo Cheng said suddenly.

Huo Cheng waved his hand, and Tuan Yihua and the others all walked over.

All eight, except Yan Zhi, are here.

"Did Yan not come?" Di Xingchen asked.

Pei Xu glanced towards him at that.

In front of so many people, Di Xingchen and Pei Xu looked at each other and immediately averted their eyes.

It's someone else he would have asked a question. One of the eight is missing, and he would have asked whoever was missing.

"Director Guo said he was coming, but none of us saw him." Wen Nuo said.

A familiar song suddenly came from the stage, and Di Xingchen immediately glanced towards the stage upon hearing it.

"Bonhoeffer." Di Xingchen says.

Pei Xu thought that he and Di Xingchen, in the end, did not stay alone to Liu Shuang's song.

Di Xingchen wiggles his arms in song, looking excitedly toward the stage as Tuan Yihua hears the song coming from the stage and sings:

[There's no jam here.]

A song like that is beyond him.

He doesn't listen to songs like that.

He looked at Di Xingchen, whose eyes were glowing, and the sea breeze blew over, messing up Di Xingchen's hair. Pei Xu beside him is also looking towards the stage, his side face is angular, his nose is high and straight, I don't know when the cold Pei Xu's gaze has become so bright.

The Blueberry Music Festival lasted for four hours, and except for true fans, very few people could stand there for four hours all the time; some sat around, ate, chatted, and waited until their favorite singers came out before running over to watch. Their group went to the dining area next to the show, it was so bright there that the seven of them would surely be recognized as soon as they took off their masks, Hu Ying proposed to go to the beach to eat.

"It's dark over there." He said.

They bought food and brought it to the beach by the sea, and made a special effort to walk to the far side, where there were fewer people, and from afar they could see the faces of the singers on the big screen, with the sea breeze blowing, and the songs were suddenly loud and small.

Hu Ying stayed close to Di Xingchen and squatted next to him when he ate.

Suddenly he had a strong feeling of losing something, and with a chilling feeling in his heart, he wanted to be closer to Di Xingchen.

"Were you with Pei Xu the whole time yesterday?" He asked Di Xingchen as he ate his hot and sour noodles.

Di Xingchen gave a "hmmm."

"So what did you guys do?"

Lin Qingning just laughed next to her and said, "Don't ask."

Hu Ying smiled and said, "I'm just jealous of him, Pei Xu how lucky he is."

He said and smiled at Di Xingchen, who seemed to be nervous and a bit shy, and was clearly in a different state than before.

It must have been because the night was too thick to see, so he misread it.

Hu Ying stopped looking at Di Xingchen and just looked down at the sour and spicy soup. He let the boss put in too much chili and choked and coughed.

Huo Cheng then handed him a bottle of water, his gaze narrowing from Di Xingchen.

After eating, he, Di Xingchen, Wen Nuo and the three of them went back to the stage to watch the show, and soon Lin Qingning also went there.

Pei Xu stayed on the beach with Huo Cheng and Yihua Tuan. The waves lapped at the beach, the night was dark and hazy, but in the distance there were bustling crowds of people, and bright lights illuminated the night sky.

"Has everything been resolved at Huo's company?" Pei Xu asked Huo Cheng.

Huo Cheng said, "Nothing more."

"That's fine." Pei Xu said.

"Let's not stand around here either." Huo Cheng said, "Since we're here, let's go listen to the songs too."

Tuan Yihua said, "I think it's too rowdy, so you guys go ahead and I'll wait for you outside."

Huo Cheng said to Pei Xu, "Go."

Di Xingchen and Hu Ying had already blended into the crowd. Huo Cheng looked around and finally saw Di Xingchen in the crowd.

On the stage was a popular rock singer, and the fans were screaming, the scene became a sea of passion. Di Xingchen and Wen Nuo, Hu Ying and the three of them were following the crowd, with a few more glow sticks in their hands, jumping and waving their arms, so young and reckless.

Huo Cheng looked at it for a while, and the corners of his mouth slowly grinned.

Di Xingchen is very happy.

As long as the person he liked was happy, it didn't matter if he was with him or not, this kind of course was bullshit, it was hard for him, lost, so-called, but seeing the other person so happy was a bit of a consolation.

The festival ended at 10 p.m., and this time they didn't leave early, but stayed until the end.

Because it was winter and windy on the beach, and even colder late into the night, the crowd quickly dispersed once the concert was over.

"It's still early, are we going back now? Do you want to go out for a late night snack?" Hu Ying asked.

"Didn't you eat enough just now?" Di Xingchen asked.

"It was too exhausting just now, and I'm hungry again." Hu Ying said.

His voice was a little hoarse, all from howling just now.

"Then let's find a place to get some food, it's rare that everyone is here." Lin Qingning said.

"Yan is not here." Wen Nuo said.

"I just asked the director and he said he's gone." Tuan Yihua said.

"Gone?" Hu Ying was surprised.

"I guess they didn't find anyone and left thinking none of us were coming." Lin Qingning said.

"It turns out there are people with worse luck than me." Hu Ying said.

"What do you want to eat?" Huo Cheng asked.

"I'll order some barbecue, why don't we eat here? Barbecue by the sea, how romantic." Hu Ying said, "Do you remember? The first time we went out to eat as a group, we went to Huo's friend's bar, and I also ordered barbecue."

He ordered a barbecue on his cell phone and was given a full set of barbecue tools. They simply set up the grill on the beach and the show provided them with two large lights.

"Just now Director Guo said they're in contact with Yan Zhi, maybe he'll come later too." Lin Qingning said as he carried the program's small bench.

There were still some young people on the beach who hadn't left, and they quickly recognized them. The program team did not do anything about it and simply added a few more headlights, illuminating the entire beach as if it was daytime. Probably because there was a whole row of cameras pointed at them from the opposite side, the crowd of onlookers took out their cell phones to take pictures, but none of them dared to come forward.

As the crowd of onlookers grew, Hu Ying glanced around and said to Di Xingchen, "It looks like the show is going to make a big deal out of this."

Because everyone is there, Di Xingchen is particularly relaxed. The barbecue Hu Ying ordered was raw, and he wore plastic gloves to sprinkle the ingredients and brush the sauce, while Hu Ying and the others grilled it.

The beach barbecue was romantic, but there was just one bad thing about it, the cold.

The deeper the night, the colder the sea breeze.

"Now there's a shortage of alcohol." Huo Cheng said.

"I'm going to ask the program team if they have any wine." Pei Xu said and went out, returning a short while later and saying, "They don't have any either."

"I'll order a bottle then." Hu Ying says, "You guys drink red and white?"

"White." Huo Cheng said.

Pei Xu didn't come back with any wine, but he had an extra jacket in his hand, which he put directly on Di Xingchen's lap.

The action certainly did not escape the eyes of the others.

Hu Ying said, "Just take one piece of clothing?"

"These are his clothes. They're in the car." Pei Xu said.

"Put it on, I can see you're freezing. You're the thinnest among us." Huo Cheng said to Di Xingchen.

Di Xingchen put that coat on.

It's not actually his clothes.

Advertisement

He hadn't seen the dress.

But he knew whose clothes it was because they had a faint minty scent on them.

Pei Xu doesn't even know when he brought his jacket. Pei Xu seems to keep a coat in the trunk of whatever car he drives, as if it's all for him.

Since he was already wearing a jacket underneath, it actually didn't look too big when he put it on, but the cuffs were a bit longer, and he rolled them up, sneaking a glance towards Pei Xu.

"Haven't you contacted Yan Zhi yet?" Huo Cheng asked the distant staff. Huo Cheng asked a distant staff member.

"His cell phone is off, we just got in touch with his follow up camera."

Hu Ying sniffed and pulled out his own cell phone and looked at it, "My cell phone is almost out of battery too."

With that he raised his cell phone and snapped a picture of the crowd of onlookers. He saw that so many of the spectators who had left the venue had come running back, the whole beach was surrounded by people, and some had already started broadcasting live.

Word got out pretty quickly that Red Blue Signal was taping at the Blueberry Festival.

[Holy shit, seriously, I just got back from the festival!]

[There have been so many live streams, just go online and search for them now!

My girlfriends and I are already planning to turn around and go back! I'm going to see Xingxing in person!

[Envious of the sisters upstairs, be sure to tell us when you see them in real life!!!]

[I was there !!!! I must say, all of them, they're whiter, taller, and more handsome than they look on TV!]

[Just now Pei Xu handed Di Xingchen a dress in front of everyone, the Rising Star is real!!!]

Immediately, someone posted a bunch of pictures of the guests sitting on the beach, except for Pei Xu, who was standing and bending down to hand Di Xingchen a dress.

Because the scene of the lights are bright enough, so the photos taken especially clear, the sea breeze blew their hair, white lights will be their skin illuminated more fair, features are also more distinct, winter beach, a group of guests froze barbecue eat out of the idol drama model.

[All so handsome ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!

Where's my sixth brother, Yan Zhi? How can he be missing in this scene?

[Yan Zhi is coming!

Immediately another picture was posted up, showing Yan Zhi walking out from behind the row of cameras on the program.

[The hallowed hall style is coming out again!

[Luk's beautiful face is in full bloom!

"Yan is here." Wen Nuo immediately smiled and stood up.

The crowd looked towards Yan Zhi.

"Why did you leave so quickly?" Hu Ying asked, "Did you think that none of us came? There were seven of us and you actually didn't bump into any of them."

Huo Cheng took a bench and handed it over to Yan Zhi, who sat down next to him, smiled a little, but didn't say anything.

Huo Cheng asked, "Do you drink?"

Yan Zhi nods.

Huo Cheng poured him a cup.

They bought paper cups, a cup of about two taels of wine, Yan Zhi took it and took a big sip first, probably drank too hard, almost choked.

"We haven't baked it yet." Hu Ying said.

"There are snacks." Wen Nuo busily handed over the snacks.

Yan Zhi looked to Di Xingchen, "When did you guys get together?"

Hu Ying immediately said, "I found him and Pei Xu first!"

"Pei Xu found the star yesterday." Duan Yihua said.

Di Xingchen twisted the bottle in her hand, "Doesn't anyone eat spicy food?"

"I don't eat spicy." Lin Qingning said with a smile.

Di Xingchen says, "Then I'm not sprinkling chili powder on these."

In the distance, Guo Bing let out a soft chuckle as he hugged his bladder.

That flavor of Shura is there again.

Since the wind was coming from the sea and the cameras were on the other side, Yan Zhi and the guys moved upwind as well.

Yan Zhi sat down next to Di Xingchen, reached out and picked up the barbecue sauce, holding it up for Di Xingchen to dip.

He is very sensitive to smells, and to perfume scents.

He smelled a faint minty scent on Di Xingchen, coming from the poorly fitted jacket he was wearing.

Wen Nuo suddenly lamented, "This should be the last time we get together during the taping of the show, right?"

"Starting the first potluck with the barbecue I ordered and ending the last potluck with the barbecue I ordered... First and last, huh?" Hu Ying said as she sipped her wine.

"The first time we went out as a group was also on the beach." Lin Qingning said.

"Do you remember the day of Wan Xia?"

"How can you not remember." Huo Cheng said.

It was also at that time that he first turned his mind to Lan Fang's Di Xingchen.

The Wan Xia in the sky, the thick and heavy colors that oil paintings can't even paint, but such a brilliant Wan Xia can't compare to Di Xingchen. But such a brilliant Wan Xia can't compare to Di Xingchen, as if all the light in the world has fallen on him.

"I still remember that night, we were sitting on the beach chatting, it was cold, Pei Xu also handed Star a shirt." Duan Yihua said with a smile.

Di Xingchen froze.

Tuan Yihua didn't say anything, he doesn't even remember.

"I also just reviewed that episode," Hu Ying gives Pei Xu a sly look, "when we were talking about Shan Cai, and we asked everyone who they were most impressed with on the first day, and no one said anything, but Pei Xu did... ..."

Some of them thought they couldn't say it under the rules of the program, some thought they had to choose between red and blue, except for Pei Xu, who said loudly, "I chose Di Xingchen."

At that moment, not only the others froze, even Di Xingchen froze and looked at Pei Xu, who looked so faint and meaningful, and asked Di Xingchen: "Who do you remember the most?"

There are many things that only when you look back, you realize that they didn't come out of nowhere, but were already there.

These pasts were suddenly being mentioned by everyone, some Di Xingchen remembered, some he could barely remember, but with his heart beating as fast as it was, he looked over towards Pei Xu, and saw Pei Xu smile softly at him.

There was more laughter in his eyes than on his face.

Di Xingchen lowered her eyes, feeling as if she were even more impressed.

Later, when this program was over, he would find the time to watch all the things he had overlooked before, the things he hadn't seen, the things he remembered and didn't remember.

He pulls at his collar, Pei Xu's jacket wrapped around him.
