Chapter 27: Tides of Darkness

Hu Ying hesitated for a long time.

He was actually surprised to receive Di Xingchen's invitation card.

Although he did joke to Di Xingchen about inviting him on a date tomorrow, and the show said that it's okay to invite someone you like, and it's okay to invite a good friend, Di Xingchen invited him, most likely just because the two of them are close.

But doesn't Di Xingchen like Tuan Yihua?

He feels that this card is not easy to come by, and dating opportunities are rare, so he should use it as a friendship card when he doesn't have a favorite person.

Does Di Xingchen like him?

That's not out of the question.

After all, he's been a millionaire since he was a kid.

He thought hard about it and decided he couldn't deny his charm.

Maybe he thinks of Di Xingchen as a sister, but Di Xingchen wants to fuck him.

Hu Ying is worried that she and Di Xingchen are too close recently, and that she might have given Di Xingchen the wrong signal if she didn't get it right.

Di Xingchen was so nice, he didn't want to hurt him or hold him back.

But that's just one possibility.

It's also possible that he's overthinking it.

Pure narcissism plus self-absorption.

But no matter what, Hu Ying felt that since she cherished this friendship, she had to take it seriously and make it clear to Di Xingchen.

He then came out of his room and went to Di Xingchen.

Di Xingchen just went to bed.

"What's wrong?" Di Xingchen asked as she sat up.

Hu Ying enters his room, glances at the camera in his room, and hooks his hand.

The two of them went to a place where the cameras couldn't capture them.

"What is it?" Di Xingchen asked.

"Why did you give me the invitation card?" Hu Ying asked.

Hu Ying is fully veiled and looks especially clean, though her eyes are serious with a smile at the corners of her mouth.

"You don't want to?" Di Xingchen asked.

"No, I just want to ask clearly, you are ......" words to the mouth, Hu Ying and shy, "how do you not give Tuan brother?"

Di Xingchen laughed.

Hu Ying asked, "What are you laughing at."

Di Xingchen is still laughing.

Hu Ying blushed even more and reached up to push, "And you're laughing."

Di Xingchen serious a little, said: "I give you, is that we two good relationship, tomorrow you as a good friend to eat a meal, I have no other meaning, you do not worry."

This Mingming was the result that Hu Ying was most looking forward to, but hearing Di Xingchen say it like this, Hu Ying was actually a little disappointed.

The loss was instantaneous, though, and he smiled and said, "Well, it looks like I was overthinking it."

"We are just pure friendship." Di Xingchen said with a smile.

Hu Ying smiled and said, "I just think that this is actually this is a particularly good opportunity to get in touch with Tuan, you haven't had any time to be alone with him in the past few days, have you? It's a bit of a shame for you to give it up just like that."

The two of them chatted some more about something or other in the hallway: "We'll talk about it tomorrow."

"You set the place or I set the place?" Hu Ying asked.

"I'll treat you, of course I'll decide, but it certainly won't be a fancy restaurant if I do."

"Didn't you say last time that you'd treat me to a big stall at your school, I'm not picky, roadside stalls are fine."

"Would it be condescending for the Queen to eat roadkill?"

Hu Ying smothered a couple of laughs, "Don't be poor with you, let's go, go to sleep, have to hurry up and sleep, otherwise the mask will be in vain."

After Hu Ying left, Di Xingchen came back to his bedroom and thought it was funny.

Hu Ying is a really nice guy.

Hu Ying's mind he understands, this is afraid of affecting the relationship between the two, so he came down to ask him clearly.

Talking it out makes each other more comfortable, and you can be actual good sisters from now on, and he assists in being able to play more realistically.

He now had absolutely no thoughts of being a love interest with the three main male leads.

Ugh, forget it, forget it, the principal is way off.

How can a cannon fodder male character ever turn over a new leaf.

He thinks Wen Nuo can be passed off the list of 10,000 fans too.

He's a little weak.

Think Huo Cheng, who plays on a water flyboard and needs to be mosaiced by the show's crew, think Yan Zhi's nickname, and then think Pei Xu's One Pillar to the Sky.

The one who forbids the male lead is surely a strong sufferer!

The night is late.

Everyone is basically asleep.

Of the eight guests, only Di Xingchen and Wen Nuo were the most cooperative with the crew, both of them sleeping without covering the bedroom camera.

As for the other six high rollers, the camera screen had all gone black.

Although there was no sight or sound, the program could sense that some people might not have slept until now.

Lin Qingning has been thinking back to the PK on the beach bit.

After so many years of knowing each other, this was the first time he had been so close to Pei Xu and had such a close contact with him.

He pressed down on Pei Xu's leg, and every time Pei Xu sat up, she almost touched him. Pei Xu's expression was so flat, and her eyes didn't look at him, but his own heart was pounding.

Pei Xu is really too handsome, the cold is too seductive, his young love affair, now all hooked up.

Pei Xu has never been in love.

He may even still have his first kiss.

Ah.

Tuan Yihua was thinking of Di Xingchen.

Thinking about the way he cooks and is at home, thinking about his abs showing when he rolls up his t-shirt on the beach.

Thinking about the heartwarming texts he sends himself and how much he cares about him.

Hey.

Wen Nuo was also thinking about Di Xingchen, about how he had always taken care of himself, his thoughtfulness, his warmth.

He turned slightly on his side, pinning the covers, and closed his eyes.

LOL.

Hu Ying is thinking about tomorrow's date.

He realized that out of the seven, dating Di Xingchen was the most imaginative. He could visualize the places and situations of the others, but not Di Xingchen.

Seems like it would be more interesting with all the possibilities.

Tsk.

A few people downstairs tossed and turned a little more repeatedly.

Di Xingchen's grunts all went to their hearts, igniting a fire in their young hearts.

But in the warm glow of the bedside lamp, the pink roses sent by Di Xingchen were so delicate.

In their eyes, this rose is no longer just a rose, but Di Xingchen's confession of Hu Ying's impending clarity.

It was a real cross between ice and fire that left you cold and hot.

Huo Cheng sat up violently from the bed and went to the restroom again.

Yan Zhi, still cool from the cold shower, had his neck stroked and his eyes red.

Stroking his neck was a conscious act for him, as well as an unconscious one, and the pain relieved him of surging tides of affection or anxiety.

Di Xingchen hummed as she lay on her back in his head, and what he'd suppressed for years crumbled all at once. This armament of civilization could no longer imprison it.

But it was Pei Xu who got the biggest kick out of it.

His love and desire are like Antarctic glaciers, frozen all year round, and he hasn't even seen a small movie. He is not like Yan Zhi, who is hot inside but deliberately suppressed.

Instead of being cold from the inside out, he was blank.

He has arguably the highest threshold of anyone, and arguably the lowest of anyone.

So much so that today Di Xingchen makes the blood in his body like spring flood that breaks the ice.

He was extra dry and hot today.

He was sitting on the end of the bed in just his short, pants, the light shining on his lean, firm chest, his ears a little red and his cheeks a little red.

His sensitive, sensual mind and body were awakening.

Pei Xu sat on the end of the bed, looking at the roses.

In fact, from the moment she saw Di Xingchen buying flowers, Pei Xu realized that it was the show's crew up to no good.

But he didn't care how the show mocked him.

He's not even afraid of a punch in the face anymore, and he's still afraid of this.

He still remembers to this day what he said earlier.

There were so many FLAGs that he disdainfully, indifferently set.

The flowers would have been nice to give to him alone.

And not everyone.

His possessiveness was becoming clear.

If they were given to him alone, he wouldn't throw them away even if they wilted, he would treat them as dried flowers and display them inside his home for the rest of his life.

Pei Xu stares at the pink flower and squeezes the rose petals in a daze.

The petals were crushed and the juice of the flower got on his fingers and he sniffed.

His lips were a little dry.

He was thinking about Hu Ying on the beach, Wen Nuo looking at Di Xingchen with tears in his eyes, Yan Zhi and Huo Cheng with their swords at war, and Duan Yihua who had been dormant.

Pei Xu thought, pulled off a few petals of flowers, stuffed them into his mouth and chewed them, the pink flower juice turned bright red, staining his slightly dry lips red, his eyes, which had always been very light, suddenly revealed a few points of paranoid darkness.

As for Di Xingchen.

He was so tired today that he lay down for a short while before he passed out in a fitful sleep.
