Chapter 21: Swords at war

Pei Xu walks over towards Di Xingchen and asks, "Did you know I was coming?"

Di Xingchen said, "The program team just talked to me and they told me. Why did you suddenly think of coming to our school?"

"Nothing to do, came to your school to look around." Pei Xu glanced at Di Xingchen and saw that Di Xingchen was looking at him, so he silently averted his gaze, pursed his thin lips, and said, "Now that I've met you, do you want to take me for a stroll?"

Di Xingchen says, "Our school is huge."

Di Xingchen and Pei Xu were chatting while walking along the boulevard towards the Changming Lake, Di Xingchen looked back and suddenly smiled.

Pei Xu looked back and saw the program crew sneaking around behind them, filming them from afar.

"Should we call them over?" Di Xingchen asked.

"Don't." Pei Xu said, "You also have a mental preparation ...... I this person is very boring, not much to say."

Even if the crew came over to film, they wouldn't be able to film anything useful.

He also knows why the show is focusing on him.

Di Xingchen smiled and nodded, "That I know."

Pei Xu was not a talkative person at all, and when she saw Di Xingchen, she was so hot in her heart that she did not know what to say.

But the beauty of Di Xingchen is that anyone is comfortable with him.

Even if he didn't know what to say to make it better.

Di Xingchen took Pei Xu on a tour of China Dance, including Changming Lake, the library, the school building, the dormitory building, the food street, and the playground by the sea.

Since it was lunch break, there were not many people on the playground, only a few boys playing basketball on the empty playground.

Today's weather is so nice, the sky is turquoise blue like a scene from an anime.

Pei Xu's long legs led her straight up to the next bleachers, followed by Di Xingchen. Di Xingchen followed closely, and the two of them walked along the bleachers to the highest point, from which they could see the endless sea.

The crew didn't follow, they stood on the playground with three cameras, one pointed at Di Xingchen, one at Pei Xu, and another for the panorama.

Di Xingchen was saying something, Pei Xu was quiet, nodding his head every now and then, and finally the two of them were sitting on the high bleachers, warm sunlight shining, and the two of them were sitting there silently looking at the sea.

The bleachers were old and a little worn, but the sun was shining and the two of them looked like they were in a movie as they sat there watching the ocean.

The two of them had been sitting there for about half an hour, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

The crew finally couldn't resist, so they sent out the drones.

As the drone buzzed past their heads, Di Xingchen glanced at the clock, stood up, and said, "I have to go to rehearsal."

Pei Xu nodded a little, not getting up, sitting and tilting her head as she asked, "Is it still in the same place as last time?"

Di Xingchen nodded a little, "Are you coming to see it?"

Pei Xu said, "I'd like to sit down a little longer and watch it later."

"I'll go first then." Di Xingchen said.

"Will Yan Zhi pick you up this afternoon?" Pei Xu asked.

Di Xingchen nodded a little, "He said to come by at six."

Pei Xu watched Di Xingchen run all the way down the bleachers, and when he got to the staff, Di Xingchen stopped to say hello.

Pei Xu let out a long breath, today's day was not too hot, but he was actually sweating, the roots of his ears were red, and there was sweat running down from behind his ears.

He pursed up his lips, his face white with the daylight, his high nose, the outline of his parted jaw, his dark hair, his long legs braced, both hands resting on his lap, his palms slightly curled, the outline of his veins floating on the backs of his hands.

When Pei Xu arrived at the rehearsal hall, he went quietly and late, and by the time he arrived, Di Xingchen had thought he wouldn't come.

Pei Xu sits in the darkness quietly watching Di Xingchen in the crowd.

He was supposed to make another trip to the office this afternoon, but he sat there for over an hour.

Their rehearsals this time were much more detailed, with almost no full-length performances, usually a detail that the dance teacher adjusted over and over again. They didn't wear ancient costumes either, they wore white kung fu pants, and Di Xingchen might have to do each movement three or four times. Without the wide skirt, his dance movements are more clearly seen, every jump, leg hold, spin, flip, the beauty of the clothes is gone, leaving all the beauty of his body.

His body was really beautiful, long, long, powerfully lean waistline, long limbs, silky and colorless beauty, like a work of art, and with that showy, stunning face, it was soooo like he was born for the stage.

There were so many pretty boys on the stage, and he was the only one with that kind of Sue sense.

Di Xingchen seems to be a different person. He is gentle, lively and homely in the red and blue room, while on stage Di Xingchen is dazzling, capable and serious.

They were not the only ones to rehearse, other departments were arriving, the rehearsal hall started to get noisy, and Pei Xu got up to leave.

After sitting in the darkness for too long, Pei Xu felt a little dizzy when the sun shone on her when she came out.

"This senior!"

He looked back and saw an extremely pretty girl running up to him with a cell phone, "Can you add WeChat?"

Pei Xu says, "Sorry, can't."

The other party froze for a moment, watching Pei Xu walk away.

Just as the students of the Modern Dance Academy were entering the rehearsal hall, Pei Xu walked alone against the crowd, his tall figure and overly distinguished temperament attracted almost everyone's attention, and many people passed by and looked back at him.

One by one, three girls and a boy chased after him, looking for his contact information.

A crew member standing on a high platform filming said, "Look at Pei Xu, the scourge."

He was alone, all in black, will sweatshirt hat draped, dressed so casually, people are so attention, against the crowd, as if in the sea of people split a wave belonging to him, withdrawn, perseverance.

After Di Xingchen finished rehearsing the dance, he went to the florist by himself before Yan Zhi arrived. He didn't buy any stargazers since he already had them at home.

There were all kinds of flowers in the flower store, and after half a day of picking, he decided that since he was messing with something, it would be a big one.

He bought a bunch of pink roses.

Yan Zhi was surprised when he saw it and asked, "You like roses?"

Di Xingchen said, "I don't know what to buy, just randomly, I don't want to buy duplicates with you guys, in fact, to say I like it, I still like full of stars the most."

Yan Zhi smiled at that.

"Why did you change your clothes again." Di Xingchen said.

That's too much cleanliness.

"I usually change my outfit for a meal, when I can." Yan Zhi said.

He was wearing a white t-shirt today with a casual gray suit over it, and his whole body looked high-class.

This man is so well dressed, with his tall body and gold glasses, the word "quality" is almost written on his body.

Di Xingchen had been dancing all afternoon and was sweating quite a bit, although he had just taken a shower in the morning and didn't smell bad, but who let the other Yan Zhi be a heavy cleanliness freak.

He remembers the small detail of Yan Zhi turning away from the sweaty Hu Ying.

So he tried to stay as far away from Yan Zhi as possible, and when he got in the car he said to Yan Zhi, "I might smell."

"Yes?" Yan Zhi twisted her head to look at him.

Di Xingchen said, "You might smell sweat, I sweated a lot today."

Unexpectedly, Yan Zhi suddenly leans toward him slightly, then sniffs.

Di Xingchen pursed her lips and looked over at Yan Zhi.

I didn't realize Yan Zhi said, "It smells good."

"Huh?"

Yan Zhi said, "It's kind of fragrant."

That came out a little sardonic even for Yan Zhi, who changed the subject and said, "Put on your seatbelt."

Di Xingchen went to fasten his seatbelt, Yan Zhi pursed his lips and started the car.

He actually hated the smell of sweat on other people, especially on most men, he was very sensitive to smells, male animals body odor is generally a little stronger, and the smell of men's sweat is heavier than women's, when he used to go to school, every time he came back from playing ball, he had to wait until the smell of the dormitory dispersed pretty much all the way through before he went in.

Even for a beautiful man like Hu Ying, he is a bit disgusted when he sweats.

But it's probably true that people are all inevitably double-standardized.

Di Xingchen's body smelled of sweat, and he really thought it smelled good.

Naturally, it is not the perfume kind of fragrance, nor is it in the secular sense of the fragrance, sweat will carry the smell of one's skin and fat, probably the body odor that everyone has, Di Xingchen, the kind of fragrance, is able to stimulate his sex, the aroma of desire.

A fire shoots up at the thought of Di Xingchen covered in sweat.

He wanted to bury himself in his neck and smell it.

When they got back to the Red and Blue Lodge, Wen Nuo and the others were already preparing dinner.

Huo Cheng came back especially early today, counting early off work, an old friend asked him to dinner he did not go.

He also volunteered to prepare dinner with Wen Nuo and the others.

He hoped to share some of the burden for Di Xingchen, who felt that it was too much work and too hard for him to be responsible for so many people's dinners alone.

Wen Nuo and Lin Qingning are both gentle people, and Huo Cheng is a great conversationalist, so the three of them together should have a very warm atmosphere with lots of laughter, but Huo Cheng is very quiet, as if he is intentionally or unintentionally trying to draw a line with the red guests.

The three men were very quiet and got their preparations pretty much done.

"Someone's back." Wen Nuo said as he heard the door open.

"Di Xingchen?" Huo Cheng shouted.

"Hey. Good evening Huo."

He heard Di Xingchen back to him.

Upon hearing Di Xingchen's voice so translucent, Huo Cheng, who had been quiet for a long time, grinned, "The chef is finally back."

It's as if the whole person has an energy all of a sudden.

But then Huo Cheng saw Di Xingchen come in with Yan Zhi holding a bouquet of pink roses.

The smile on Huo Cheng's face instantly froze.

Wen Nuo and Lin Qingning also froze for a moment.

Di Xingchen placed the bouquet on the dining room table, "I thought we agreed that the kitchen was my place, why are you guys on it again."

"Hu Ying told us what you were going to do in the evening, and we thought we had nothing to do, so we helped you clean up first." Lin Qingning smiled and asked, "Who bought the flowers? Yan Zhi?"

"I bought it." Di Xingchen said.

Huo Cheng's originally stagnant face instantly became much more vivid, Wen Nuo stole a glance at Huo Cheng, pursed up the corners of his mouth.

"Why did you buy flowers too." Huo Cheng asked with a smile, "Did I not buy enough yesterday? Just say the word and I'll buy more back today."

"And I can't keep letting you break the bank." Di Xingchen smiled and said, "I bought the pink roses, so if any of you like them, feel free to take them."

"Hu Ying will love it." Lin Qingning said with a smile.

"Where is he?"

"Upstairs in the shower."

They had an appointment last night when they chatted, and Hu Ying might come back earlier today, so he asked Di Xingchen to write a list, and went to the supermarket himself to buy all the groceries he would need for the evening.

Di Xingchen looked at the vegetables Hu Ying bought back, Huo Cheng stood beside him, his heart still palpitating.

The palpitations of that moment just now gave him a heavy shadow.

He thought the roses were from Yan Zhi to Di Xingchen.

This can't be allowed to go on.

He then said to Yan Zhi, "Do you still have nothing to do tomorrow? Are you still picking up and dropping off stars?"

Yan Zhi looked to Huo Cheng and gave a "hmm".

He guessed that Huo Cheng's opening would not be a good thing.

Sure enough, Huo Cheng then laughed and said, "Don't just focus on the Star one, we have another one here without a car."

When Wen Nuo next to me heard this, he immediately said, "It's easy for me to take public transportation and a taxi."

Yan Zhi saw that Lin Qingning and Di Xingchen were both looking at him as well, and there was no way he could have a second answer no matter which way he considered it, so he said, "Fine, they can all be delivered."

Huo Cheng just smiled.

Yan Zhi slightly narrowed the mildness on his face and turned his head to look at Huo Cheng, who did not look at him and turned his head to pick the roses bought by Di Xingchen.
