Chapter 167: It's just good stamina

Because she was a little drunk, Hu Ying said she couldn't get up the next day and couldn't be woken up.

The crew had to let Di Xingchen and Huo Cheng go first.

It was still light and there was no one on the street. Di Xingchen had slept for just over three hours. He hadn't washed up, and was wearing a mask and baseball cap. Pei Xu, too, had disheveled hair, one strand of which was sticking up.

Pei Xu helped them carry their luggage to the car, saying, "You two can sleep a little more on the way."

Di Xingchen says, "I'm not really sleepy right now."

It was probably rare for him to be up this early, and he was even a little hyper.

"You'll be sleepy once you get on the airplane." Huo Cheng also said to Pei Xu, "Hu Ying doesn't know when she can get up, you go back and catch up on your sleep."

"He won't be able to dawdle much longer, Director Guo said he'll let him sleep until seven at the most." Pei Xu says, "It's raining in South City, so wear a thick coat when you get off the plane."

Huo Cheng waved his hand and got into the car.

Di Xingchen opens the door, looks at him, Pei Xu nods, and Di Xingchen gets into the car.

Pei Xu backs away from the curb and waves.

He watched the car walk away, along with two other cars from the program, and after the car passed the corner, the street fell into silence, and there was a thin mist in the air.

Pei Xu turned around and saw Guo Bing on the side of the road.

Guo Bing said, "Have you washed up? Go wash up, and before Hu Ying gets up, let's record your last single."

Last one.

It's really coming to an end. Everything's final.

Is anyone paying attention? Rumor has it that the red and blue guests are coming back to the South Side today for the last day of recording!

[What do you mean? Who can pick the stars to get results?!]

I just caught up with the second installment, no spoilers!

I'm not going to spoil it, the show must be on guard, and it's all about the suspense at the end to boost the ratings!

[Now that everyone is really chasing Red and Blue, I can't imagine how high the ratings will go for the final installment of the finale.]

[Come on, come on, let's bet on the ratings!]

"I'm a 9.

I'm too conservative. My tits are 10!

[Man, how it feels like poisoned milk. But there's one thing to be said for breaking 8. I don't feel like it's a big problem.]

The highest ratings for the last installment were over 6, right? The ratings for the last installment will surely soar, and we'll definitely have no problem holding on to 8 or 10!

[Boing Boing, this career fan is so excited to watch, I'm going to start a ratings building for the last installment!

[God, you're getting off the subject again, isn't the biggest suspense right now who can pick the stars!

"So far, Pei Xu is very stable.

[I'm telling you, it's really hard to say until the last installment of the romance series, have you guys forgotten about last season's Sakura CP?

[Mentioning the last season's Cherry Blossom CP I can't get over it, that scumbag Zhang Ying was double-arrowed with Su Hua the whole time and ended up actually picking Liu Siyu in the final installment, and I'm stunned as a whole!

[So the love synthesis can never be relieved until the last moment! I also advise the Rising Star fans not to be too arrogant, how painful is the big hot pouring stove, ask the former Sakura CP fans to know!

In contrast, the atmosphere at the major CP fan positions was a bit more heated and tense.

Like the Rising Star CP powder:

[Attention! Highlight!

I've heard that Red and Blue have just one or two days left, and Confession Day is just around the corner! At this critical moment, I hope you can keep a low profile and save your character, and be careful with your speech. Although we are all looking forward to Brother Pei finally getting a beautiful man, we can't rule out that there will be other people who will come out of the dark horse, and it's not good to embarrass Brother Pei by being too high-profile.

Last day, Brother Pei is riding high on popularity, and Rising Star is the most likely, so let's keep our fingers crossed!

I'm so nervous if Di Xingchen doesn't pick Brother Pei... I can't believe it... I'll feel even worse than if I lost my love!

[That's me talking, it's really painful for CP fans chasing the serial! Now let's just hope that the end result will be what we want it to be.]

[Although it's hard to chase the serials, isn't it also exciting to think that the CP we're chasing could be real?!

[Boing Boing, that's me talking, I'm so excited to think that these two might actually become a couple!

[I shudder to think what the group will look like when the Rising Star finally comes true.]

[If the Rising Star comes true, I'd like to lose ten pounds!]

[If the Rising Star comes true, I'm willing to be a vegetarian for a month!]

[If the Rising Star comes true, I'll give out red packets in the group!]

[That must have been a feast!]

Compared to CP fans, Di Xingchen's only fans are more nervous.

Ten thousand people fan persona is a very complicated existence, how many guests love him in the early stage, there are as many CP fans who love him, so the speed of sucking up the powder is riding high, but the CP fans are not the only fans, once the CP is determined in the late stage, the CP fans of the other BE may take off the powder or even back to step on it.

How disappointing and how vicious.

It's not enough to rely on fan-controlled reviews, it's mostly about what Di Xingchen ends up doing on the show.

Screenwriter Liu felt the same way.

Di Xingchen is the star they created this season and the most popular vegetarian guest ever on Lovesong. Di Xingchen is like a star they discovered and raised, and their sense of achievement and honor is closely related to Di Xingchen's popularity at the end of the season.

Di Xingchen has become more than just Di Xingchen, it's the best work of their lives.

"Has a guest arrived already?" Screenwriter Liu asked.

"Yan Zhi and Tuan Yihua have arrived, and Wen Nuo and Lin Qingning just got off the plane."

Screenwriter Liu took off his jacket and went to the monitoring room at the first opportunity.

The familiar red and blue hut appears on the screen again, with the exact same furnishings as when the guests first left.

As soon as she saw the familiar image, all the drama of the first station appeared in her mind.

Yan Zhi and Tuan Yihua were both in the kitchen, and Tuan Yihua, with her hands on the countertop, watched Yan Zhi cook.

Yan Zhi wore a black turtleneck sweater, cuffs rolled up to the upper end of the arm, delicate and ascetic, as if through the camera can smell the faint aroma of his body. There is a camera dedicated to shooting his hands, his hands on the screen white, even long, nails light pink, wet with tomato juice, which is worth millions of "Yan Zhi's hands".

On the dining table next to her, on a plain white vase, was a bouquet of pink full-grown stars.

Screenwriter Liu sighed.

She really thinks Yan Zhi is the most unfortunate guest of the season.

He is the most popular, but also the most important guest of their program group in the first place, he is not losing to the showbiz small students, the gaming industry men and women to kill the Purple Star level god, wearing is a great, the persona of the chic degree is simply full of points.

Maybe it was just a little bit of luck that he had so little contact with Di Xingchen, Pei Xu, Hu Ying, Huo Cheng, all had more opportunities than him.

May have something to do with his own character, even now look at him through the screen, so high and clean and handsome, even in the kitchen cooking, but also not grounded, as if such a person, should be a unique beauty, to be a flower on the high ridge, far away from a glance.

"Yan Zhi is going to fulfill his promise." The staff member next to him said as he looked at the monitor.

Screenwriter Liu twisted his head toward the other party.

The other party laughed and said, "Didn't he say that when he first followed Di Xingchen's cooking? When he learns how to cook, when the show ends, he'll make it for his favorite people."

Screenwriter Liu froze for a moment, and she looked at the screen, on which Yan Zhi was setting up a plate, not skillfully, but with a serious look on her face.

At around ten o'clock, Lin Qingning and Wen Nuo arrived at the Red and Blue Hut.

Tuan Yihua went out to greet them and everyone hugged each other.

"We're not the last to arrive, are we?" Lin Qingning asked.

Tuan Yihua smiled and said, "No, Star and Hu Ying, both of their groups haven't arrived yet."

Tuan Yihua helped them carry their bags inside, "Where have you been traveling for the past two days?"

Wen Nuo says, "We both go to a lot of places."

Wen Nuo has obviously had a very relaxing and happy two days traveling with Lin Qingning, and today Wen Nuo is glowing.

"Where have you and Yan Zhi been?" Lin Qingning asked.

Tuan Yihua said, "We both came straight back to South City."

The two of them then went to visit an art museum to kind of give the show a little bit of material that they could use, and the rest of the time they were free to make arrangements, and Yan Zhi said that he wanted to go and learn how to cook, so he went along and found a private chef to learn how to cook.

He actually knew why Yan Zhi had learned to cook, probably because Di Xingchen had been cooking for them the whole time they were recording the program, and Yan Zhi probably wanted to give Di Xingchen a break at the end of the day.

Lin Qingning and Wen Nuo went in and froze when they saw Yan Zhi cooking in the kitchen.

Lin Qingning smiled and said, "Did you make all these?"

Yan Zhi smiled and said, "Looking good?"

"It's too good." Wen Nuo says, "I thought the stars did it."

"It's not comparable to what he does." Yan Zhi said, "I can only guarantee the appearance, I can't guarantee whether it's good or not."

Wen Nuo looked at the suitcases in the living room and asked, "Are we still living in the same division as before, or are we re-dividing the rooms?"

"Let's discuss this when everyone is here." Tuan Yihua said.

Wen Nuo said, "Do you remember, the first day we came here, we put all our luggage here."

Lin Qingning looked around and said, "It hasn't changed at all."

After dropping off their luggage, Wen Nuo and Lin Qingning gathered in the kitchen.

Within a few moments they heard another car coming from outside.

Wen Nuo immediately ran out, Yan Zhi who was cooking immediately raised his head towards the door when he heard an extremely familiar voice.

It's Di Xingchen's voice.

"Star is here." Lin Qingning said and walked towards the door with Tuan Yihua.

As they walked to the door, they saw Di Xingchen and Huo Cheng carrying luggage from the car.

"I thought we were already the latest to arrive, but I didn't realize you guys were even later than us."

"We almost lost a piece of our luggage and stayed at the airport for quite a while. How long have you been here?" Di Xingchen asked.

"Yan Zhi and I have been here for hours, and Qingning and Wen Nuo are no more than a few minutes ahead of you." Yihua said.

Wen Nuo suddenly laughed, and Di Xingchen said with a smile, "What is little Wen Nuo laughing at?"

Wen Nuo said, "I feel like we're just like visiting relatives on New Year's Day, that's how we all greet each other when we come together in our family's Spring Festival visit."

Who all has arrived, how long ago, and who else is still missing, as well as helping to carry things.

Everyone just laughed.

Di Xingchen took off her jacket and said, "It was raining when I first got off the plane, and I was afraid of being cold, so I wore two layers of jackets."

"The rain just stopped." Tuan Yihua said, twisting her head to glance at Di Xingchen.

"It's just Pei Xu and Hu Ying, and I didn't realize that they were the last two." Lin Qingning said.

As he walked up to the Red and Blue Lodge, Huo Cheng stopped, looked over, and said, "It's back."

"It's back." Di Xingchen said.

The sound of everyone talking came from the foyer, and Yan Zhi looked up towards the foyer while pressing the pan of fried dumplings with his chopsticks. He suddenly became nervous, pursing his thin lips, and when he saw someone coming in, he lowered his head.

The frying pan squeaked, and he heard Di Xingchen say, "Yan is cooking."

Yan Zhi, now look up.

Di Xingchen wore all black and a black baseball cap, looking tall and sharp.

Yan Zhi smiled and said, "Out of the division today."

"Wow." Huo Cheng saw several plates of food on the table and asked Yan Zhi, "Did you make all these?"

"He did it all." Tuan Yihua said.

"Looks like we have another chef." Huo Cheng smiles and takes off his jacket.

"Are we going to cook for ourselves today?" Di Xingchen says, "I haven't washed up yet, so I'll help when I take a shower."

Huo Cheng said, "I have to take a shower too, you guys don't know, we both got rushed up by the program at 5:00 or so."

"Did Huo have a good time these two days?" Lin Qingning asked.

Hoggle said, "That goes without asking."

Di Xingchen carried his suitcase toward his old room, and halfway there, he turned back and asked, "Are we still staying in the same room as before?"

"Wash it first." Huo Cheng said.

Di Xingchen pushed open the innermost room on the first floor and went in.

The room was the same as when he left, even the flowers in the vase on the coffee table in the living room were the same ones he had put in there earlier, and they had all wilted.

Entering the room again, he was in a completely different mood than he had been at first.

He paused for a moment, noticing the camera in the living room pivoting to focus on him.

He smiled, put his suitcase in the living room, grabbed a change of clothes and went into the bathroom.

Huo Cheng was the first to come out of the shower. He changed into the clothes he wore when he first came to the Red and Blue Lodge.

"Huo has lost weight." Lin Qingning said.

"Everyone is thin, right?" Huo Cheng said.

"I lost six pounds." Wen Nuo said.

"I also lost four or five pounds." Tuan Yihua said.

Everyone stood around in the kitchen chatting for a couple of minutes before they saw Di Xingchen come out of her room.

Di Xingchen changed to a very light color, beige pants, loose colorblocking sweater, sports sneakers, only the hair is black, he also lost some weight, his features are more bright and handsome.

Everyone looked at him, then one by one they pulled their eyes back.

Di Xingchen rolls up her sleeves and says to Yan Zhi, "I'll play second fiddle to you."

Yan Zhi said, "You rest today, don't do anything, I'll take care of it."

Di Xingchen smiles and says, "Cooking has skyrocketed, it's all big dishes."

"So many are bought half-finished." Yan Zhi said with a smile.

The sound of snapping rain comes from the floor-to-ceiling windows again, and Wen Nuo turns his head and says, "It's raining again."

It was raining hard this time.

Huo Cheng and the others came over to help Yan Zhi lay down hands, and they all told Di Xingchen to take a rest.

Di Xingchen and Wen Nuo packed up all the flowers Yan Zhi bought and put a bottle in all the rooms of the Red and Blue Hut.

There were honking sounds from outside, Huo Cheng said to Di Xingchen and Wen Nuo, "It must be Pei Xu and Hu Ying. It's raining outside, you guys go get them."

Di Xingchen glanced at Huo Cheng, and Wen Nuo stood up.

The two of them came out with umbrellas, and saw a black car parked outside. Pei Xu was wearing a sweater hat and was carrying luggage from the trunk, while Hu Ying was sitting in the car honking the horn, and when she saw the two of them, she immediately shouted, "Little Wen Nuo, come pick me up!"

Wen Nuo immediately ran over, and Hu Ying got out of the car.

Di Xingchen wants to help Pei Xu carry her bags, but Pei Xu takes one in each hand and says, "No need."

Di Xingchen then tilted the umbrella towards him, and the two of them walked towards the red and blue hut together. With the sound of the rain clattering, probably returning to the familiar Heartwarming Hut, Pei Xu suddenly recalled a vivid memory from the past and asked, "Do you remember the first time the two of us shared an umbrella?"

It was him, Yan Zhi, Hu Ying, Di Xingchen, the four of them going out together. That was the day his love really sprouted.

Di Xingchen grabbed his arm and gathered his back that day.

It was also the day he saw Di Xingchen dance for the first time.

From that day on, he was no longer a blank sheet of paper.

Di Xingchen left a distinctive mark on his white paper, and he has had color ever since.

He turned his head toward Di Xingchen, who tilted the umbrella a little more toward him.

Entering the red and blue hut, Di Xingchen took the suitcase he was holding and realized how heavy that suitcase was.

"It's heavy, why are you so strong." He said.

They're both a little wet, the basement is cramped, and the smell of hot and humid air fills the room, and Pei Xu says, "It's okay, it's about as heavy as you are."
