Chapter 4: All hands on deck

"We shouldn't have to guess our occupations at night, should we?" Huo Cheng says, "I see that all the other Love Complexes have to guess occupations on the first night."

Di Xingchen said, "It shouldn't be necessary."

The profiles of these rich kids are all over the internet and they even know each other.

"Which university did you go to and what did you study?" Huo Cheng asked.

"Dance Academy." Di Xingchen said.

"Student?" Pei Xu turned her head to look at him.

Di Xingchen nodded.

"He looks like a student." Huo Cheng said, "The competition in the relationship market is also too brutal now, are all you post-00s college students coming to compete with us?"

Di Xingchen busily said, "I've come to make up the numbers, or the brothers' home turf."

Huo Cheng looked to him, "Just know to give in to your brothers."

At the end, Huo Cheng suddenly added: "Dancing, no wonder it looks different ......"

Pei Xu glanced at Huo Cheng through the rearview mirror. Huo Cheng's expression was subtle, and after the smile at the corner of his lips disappeared, he looked at Di Xingchen with a naked and straightforward look. Probably because he was sitting at the back and no one could see him.

But the scene was all over the internet.

[This look ......]

[I know this Huo Cheng is very colorful as soon as I see him.]

[Not even the same kind ...... Are we going to have a blue-blue romance this season?]

"When two attackers meet, there must be a victim.

[I can see why it's said that three 1's can do a lot, too].

Huo Cheng is fierce at first sight, and Di Xingchen, who dances, is just right for it.

No wonder they say BL romance pop-ups are so big, you guys start off with such a big bang!

[Car doors locked, I've thought of a name for their CP, CP Mars!]

The hypermarket was close enough to where they lived that it took five or six minutes to drive, but it all took longer to find a parking space than it did to get on the road.

This area is the old city of Nancheng, a sliver of old buildings, surrounded by a skyscraper are not, the road seven turns, Di Xingchen specially observed the topography of the neighborhood.

The three of them were all big handsome guys, and with a bunch of cameras following them around, they attracted everyone's attention as soon as they entered the supermarket.

Pei Xu glanced at the sign at the entrance, "I'll go to the second floor."

"What are you buying?" Huo Cheng asked.

"Slippers."

"Don't you have slippers in your room?" Huo Cheng asked.

The crew prepared so many slippers for them that they couldn't wear all ten pairs per person.

"The color is not to my liking." Pei Xu said.

Huo Cheng watched Pei Xu go up the escalator before he and Di Xingchen headed toward the fresh food section.

Di Xingchen explains, "He just likes black and white."

Huo Cheng smiled and said, "Really?"

Di Xingchen nods.

Pei Xu's clothes, shoes and even bedding are all black and white, not even gray.

As monotonous as he is as a person to the extreme.

Huo Cheng has been particularly busy in the past few years, and grocery shopping has become a novelty for him. He reads out the list while Di Xingchen is responsible for picking it up, and the two of them work well together.

Because of the camera teacher who is always with them, many people in the supermarket will look at them, and even the supermarket staff are incredibly dedicated and enthusiastic. Huo Cheng was extremely gentlemanly and gentle. Wen Nuo wanted to buy snacks on his side, Di Xingchen across the shopping cart to reach, Huo Cheng pressed his shoulder, reached out and took down the bag of shrimp sticks: "I thought you had studs."

Di Xingchen turns her head, "Huh?"

"You have a mole on your earlobe."

Huo Cheng said and took a closer look at him, a very faint mole, not even visible without a closer look.

Di Xingchen just laughed a little.

Huo Cheng, in an inexplicably good mood as well, asked, "Who do you think the text messages from the four guests on the red side will be sent to tonight?"

Di Xingchen said, "I don't know."

He doesn't care and it won't be sent to him anyway.

"Who will you send it to?" Huo Cheng asked again.

"Isn't this to be kept secret?" Di Xingchen said and glanced at the follow up video next to him.

"I have a feeling neither of us might get a single text message today, so why don't we both send them to each other." Huo Cheng laughs, "It's not like we're saying eight people can send whatever they want this season anyway."

The reason why this season of Red and Blue Signal is so messed up is because last year, there was a friendly Taiwan's love variety show, there was a male guest a period of time to change a heart object, so the netizens were wildly scolded for philandering scumbag, the male guest was later interviewed and said that in fact he didn't like one of them but the program group also stipulated that he must send a text message to a heart girl every day, that's why he took turns sending it again one by one.

This matter has caused a great deal of reaction on the Internet, yes, even if it is a love synthesis, it is always necessary to allow people to not like one of them, right? It's really unreasonable to require guests to pick one heartthrob per period.

That's why Red and Blue Signals changed the rules this season, so if you don't have love for several of the guests, you can send a friendly text message.

Since it's a friendly text now, it can be sent to anyone.

They had just finished buying snacks when they saw Pei Xu coming down from the second floor.

Huo Cheng saw him first and waved.

Di Xingchen turned his head to look, had to sigh a sentence, Pei Xu really worthy of the Jinjiang type male lead, this body, this look, really one in a hundred, carrying a pair of slippers standing on the downward escalator, as if in the shooting of idol dramas.

The most striking thing was his languid and indifferent demeanor, as if he had been used to the adoration and attention of those around him since he was a child.

The pop-ups were even more instantaneous.

[I really don't blame a couple of the other guests, with that face, who could not love it?

[Pei Xu, this person is really amazing, look at his tugging face, and want to slap him, and want to kiss him hard what's going on!

[This man that people love to hate has a really great body temperament.]

"I think this kid is our biggest opponent." Huo Cheng said to Di Xingchen, "Why don't we join forces first."

Di Xingchen smiled at his words, Huo Cheng looked at him with a smile, only to think that Di Xingchen looked too good when he smiled, his eyes looked like they had Xingxing in them, so he couldn't help but want to get closer to him and smell the milky scent on his body.

With that much milk, it should smell good wherever you go, right?

Huo Cheng glanced at the slippers in Pei Xu's hand and said, "Just now Star said that you only like black and white, and you really bought a pair of pure black ones."

Pei Xu put the slippers in the shopping cart and glanced at Di Xingchen.

"How do you know I only like black and white?"

Di Xingchen can't say that he is from a novel, so he said, "I see that your clothes and other things are in these two colors, there are no mixed colors."

"Then what color do you think I like?" Huo Cheng asked.

Di Xingchen turned her head to look at him.

"You like flowery shirts, don't you?"

Pei Xu, who had been dead serious, suddenly smiled.

Huo Cheng was surprised, "How did you know, I haven't even worn it yet!"

The smile on Pei Xu's face became even more obvious, so much so that his followers came up to take a close-up of his face. Pei Xu probably realized it and coldly glanced towards the camera, the smile on his face no longer visible.

The camera sighed.

The crowd of onlookers has grown, with many taking out their cell phones to film them. But the three male guests are very calm, when they go to buy food, Pei Xu and Huo Cheng just stand quietly next to them, watching Di Xingchen picking and choosing.

"I believe you really know how to cook." Huo Cheng took Di Xingchen's picks and said, "This looks like a connoisseur."

"I often make my own when I'm at home, I know Chinese and Western food and Japanese food, so I'll take over the kitchen at the Red and Blue Lodge, so don't any of you take it from me." Di Xingchen said.

Red and Blue Signal's live broadcast today is very short, only a few hours, after all, the live broadcast is only to attract traffic, but also to save some secret content to broadcast on the star, Di Xingchen, the three of them came out of the supermarket, the screen suddenly framed, played the theme song.

In the picture, the tallest and strongest Huo Cheng looks straight at the camera with a bright and cheerful smile, Pei Xu frowns slightly, fair and handsome, high and cold like an iceberg, and Di Xingchen standing in the middle of them, with a sense of juvenility that comes out of his face, bright and brilliant, light and charming and dazzling.

Three young men carrying shopping bags went straight to the hot seat.

Many of those who didn't follow the live stream were stunned.

[There really is a Pei Xu!

Isn't Pei Xu known as a bad-tempered member of the rich and powerful? How can he come to a relationship variety show? I thought it was just a rumor!

He's got a bad temper, but his face is really handsome. He's totally inherited his mom Pei Huanong's beauty.

Huo Cheng is so handsome, he's the top student of A University, I heard he won the sailing championship, he's all-rounded!

So the list that was rumored two days ago is true? Duan Yihua was there? And famous rich kids like Lin Qingning and Hu Ying? And Yan Zhi, my god?

[Yan Zhi didn't show up, but he's definitely going, it's all over his fanbase].

Yan Zhi, the quiet guy who likes to wear his shirt buttoned all the way to the top?

[Those who say our Sixth Brother is quiet should have never seen him play, right?

[Hahahahahahahaha, is Six really going to participate in Love Variety? Seriously, he's the one I'm looking forward to the most out of the online rumor list.]

[This season of Red and Blue Signal is so awesome in its configuration, it looks like it's going to explode!

The online response was overwhelming and gave the show a shot in the arm, and when they came back from the supermarket, the show sent their phones back to them to make the official official announcement on their respective microblogs.

Di Xingchen went ahead and exchanged barbs with a few other guests, and he made a point of looking at the number of followers of a few other guests.

The one with the most fans is Yan Zhi, who deserves to be the first gaming brother with a rowdy face and a popularity break among the eight guests.

The second one is Hu Ying, who tweets is the white, rich and beautiful netizen daily.

The rest, Huo Cheng and others, have anywhere from a few thousand to over a hundred thousand followers.

The least popular is him, he's a new number, a dozen followers are from Sina, and the rest are the other six male guests.

Yeah, six. Pei Xu doesn't have a Twitter account.

What a total lack of cooperation.

Because he's a pure vegetarian, the show took extra care of him, picking out a photo just for him, which he posted with the caption, "Hi everyone, I'm Di Xingchen."

I received a compliment from Huo Cheng after half a day of posting.

When he was about to hand over his cell phone, he asked the staff, "When will I get paid for my movie?"

He was a pure vegetarian, but because the program took the initiative to approach him, the payoff was quite objective at 100,000 dollars.

This is already considered a large sum in the love variety. You should know that the love variety usually just give 20,000 lost wages, most guests on the love variety is not in order to earn pay, we value the traffic and exposure.

The staff said, "We'll call next week when it opens."

One hundred thousand dollars wasn't a lot to him before, but it was a lot of money to him now.

The 100,000 he was going to give half to his current mom and dad and half to invest.

He's buying Pei Xu's fund.

Pei Xu's fund has come out on top for two consecutive years, and is now at a high level that many people are afraid to enter, but he has read the full article, and he knows how good Pei Xu is, and that he will create money-making wonders again in the next shaky market.

Di Xingchen arrived in the kitchen with a sense of delight.

Huo Cheng, Tuan Yihua, and Wen Nuo are already picking vegetables there, two tall and one low, either handsome or beautiful, together they look very eye-catching, Huo Cheng is cheerful and a little bit gangster, which makes Wen Nuo laugh a lot.

Watching a bunch of dudes together is just pleasing to the eye.

"The chef is here."

"Where's the promised kitchen to me?" Di Xingchen says.

Tuan Yihua and the others all looked at him with smiles. Huo Cheng said, "We'll just have to give you a hand, Zhai to see how well we've prepared."

"You've started calling Zhai brother now, haven't you?" Tuan Yihua said with a smile.

"Hard work guys." Di Xingchen rolled up her sleeves, "I'll do the rest."

Wen Nuo said, "I'll stay and help you out."

"No, I like to do it myself, you all go play in the living room." Di Xingchen dismissed them.

Dudes need more contact to get a spark.

Seeing that he wasn't being polite, everyone answered him, and he was soon the only one left in the kitchen.

Tuan Yihua and the others laughed occasionally from the living room, and Di Xingchen rubbed his hands together in satisfaction and began to cook.

He was always focused on his work, and when he got serious about cooking, he got serious.

He glanced at the menu, the dishes he was going to make today were chicken wings with roasted potatoes, tomato ball soup, seaweed and winter melon, steamed egg with meat foam, egg hugging tofu, veggie stir fry with carrots, and a steamed sea bass.

When he fired this, the guide room was stunned first.

"Is he a student?"

"Yeah, sophomore in dance school."

"Probably used to cook a lot at home, but it's rare to see someone this good at cooking at this age these days."

"He said he'd do a little bit of that when we approached him before."

"It's not even a little bit, look at his proficiency."

In the camera, Di Xingchen in chopping radish silk, knife work that is called a fast,, click click click continuous dozens of knives, two hands a withdrawal, clean, a plate of radish silk is ready, cut out of the radish silk and fine and even, the plate is amazing.

With an indoor variety show like theirs, the light colors are all dialed in to make sure the guests are perfectly lit in any area of this room, and the kitchen, being a heavy filming area, is set up with even better light colors, Di Xingchen in her thin shirt, her phoenix eyes slightly downcast, that face glowing in the camera.

"Give him a close-up." Director Guo said.

The camera closes in, one moment taking pictures of his long, white fingers, the other of his eyebrows and chin. Di Xingchen has an extremely photogenic face, and many of the staff are mesmerized by it.

"Such a good looking and cooking 1, I don't believe no one will like it." Screenwriter Liu said.

"It's awesome."

Di Xingchen was startled and looked up to see Pei Xu standing in front of the refrigerator with one hand in his pants pocket and one hand cupping a glass of water, watching him.

"Dinner will be served soon." Di Xingchen said.

Pei Xu was watching him cook, Hu Ying and the others' laughter came over here from time to time, and Di Xingchen asked, "Why don't you go play with them?"

Pei Xu says, "Hungry."

"Then you bring the food to the table, it will be ready soon." Di Xingchen said.

Cooking is laborious work, his forehead is sweating, two oil hands support, use his arm to rub the sweat that is about to flow to the corner of his eyes. Pei Xu picked a piece of paper and wiped his forehead.

"Thanks."

"Uh-huh." Pei Xu reached out for the food, and Huo Cheng and the others all gathered around.

"Wow, you did all this?" Wen Nuo said in astonishment.

"Thought you were millet plus rifles, who knew you'd go straight to atomic bombs."

Hu Ying They were all surprised too, and everyone pulled out chairs and sat down, looking at the table of food.

Color and flavor.

Huo Cheng opened a bottle of red wine, "Let's all have a drink to celebrate our first day in the Red and Blue Lodge, and to thank Star for working so hard to make this meal for us."

We clinked glasses together, Huo Cheng felt that red wine was not enough and opened a bottle of white wine.

"When is the other guest arriving?"

"We just asked the program and they said it should be here this afternoon."

"Yan Zhi, right?"

Wen Nuo nodded his head busily, "It's him, I saw his fanbase breaking the news."

"You're in his fan group?" Huo Cheng lifted his wine glass and sipped it while drooping his eyes to him.

Wen Nuo reddened and let out an "Uh-huh".

"Isn't he hot?" Tuan Yihua asked.

"He's super hot, he's the most famous among us, right?" Hu Ying said.

"He has a lot of fans." Lin Qingning said, "He's really handsome."

"I think someone rang the doorbell." Wen Nuo said.

"It can't be Speak of the Devil, can it?"

Wen Nuo got up and ran to open the door when an unfamiliar male voice came from the foyer, "Hello."

"Hello." Wen Nuo said.

They all stood up, and in a few moments they saw Wen Nuo running back with a red face.

Hu Ying was about to ask him when he saw a broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, white-shirted man with gold thin-framed glasses walk in with his luggage.

The hall hall gas.

It was the first word that popped into Di Xingchen's head.
