The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish

On the evening of the official announcement from the program team, Gao Shu sent the program schedule to Ye Zexi, and Ye Zexi knew the destination in advance.

Sanya?

Isn't that where the fish, shrimps, and all kinds of seafood are?

Ye Zexi's eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't help but sighed, "It's a good place."

With the effect of hot search on Weibo for the past two days, before the recording of "Foodie Journal" has even started, it has attracted the attention of a large number of fans and netizens.

Later, Ye Zexi was eating dinner and received a WeChat message from Tang Jing.

"Just saw the hot search, didn't you say you are going to travel? How come you sign up with a variety show?" Still with He Jinyun.

The last few words were deleted by Tang Jing, in the end he still did not send out the last sentence.

Ye Zexi looked at the message and sighed lightly.

It was not that he did not want to travel abroad. If he had to blame someone, it was the little dried fish that was so tempting!

But he could not tell Tang Jing this. Ye Zexi replied, "Well, it's time to add a variety show to increase my exposure to the audience. It just so happened that this variety show is quite suitable, so I took it."

Looking at Ye Zexi's reply, Tang Jing frowned slightly.

He was not sure if it was his illusion. He always felt that the fact that Ye Zexi would take on this variety show was definitely not to increase the exposure.

If Ye Zexi wanted to appear in front of the audience more, he would not take a break for several months, and he would not pick up a new variety show that is not well-known.

So why did Ye Zexi take up this variety show?

Tang Jing flipped through the articles on the Internet, his brows tightening.

The "Foodie Journal" Official Weibo comment section was being occupied by the Hexi CP fans.

Tang Jing didn't dare to think anymore.

But if he did not do anything and just let it go, Tang Jing still felt not at ease.

After thinking about it for a long time, he took out his phone again and sent a message to his agent: "Sister, are all the special guests for the "Foodie Journal" show confirmed?"1

The agent quickly returned the message: "?"

"Didn't you say that you are not interested in Ye Zexi? Why are you wanting to chase him now?"

Tang Jing's face was a little hot, and he was silent for a while, then he took a deep breath and calmly replied: "No, I just think this variety show is not bad, maybe it will be popular in the future, if I get to be one of the special guests, it will be good for me."

After thinking for two seconds, Tang Jing continued to type: "Also, the CP fans are still not getting over me and Ye Zexi. If I participate in "Foodie Journal", the topic will definitely become popular."

Seeing that Tang Jing's analysis was good, the agent rarely hesitated.

"Are you sure it is not because of Ye Zexi?"

Tang Jing replied, "Sister, do you think I'm the kind of person who acts on emotion?"

The agent thought about it for a while.

Actually, Tang Jing has never made her worried. Just like when he was being harassed by Cui Yi in "Time Idol" before, even though he was disgusted, Tang Jing still endured it for the sake of the overall situation.

After getting the evidence, he completely turned the tide in his favor.

Moreover, "Foodie Journal" is really not a bad variety show, both the production team and concept are very good.

The agent also feels that the ratings of this variety show will not be too bad in the future.

Thinking about it for a few more seconds, the agent felt much more relieved.

Soon she returned a message to Tang Jing: "Okay, wait for my news, I will contact Director Zhang first."

The corner of Tang Jing's mouth couldn't help but curve up, and he typed: "Sister, I've to trouble you again."

Putting down the phone, Tang Jing felt somewhat relieved.

A week went by in the blink of an eye, Gao Shu booked the ticket in advance. A day before the departure day, he personally came to Ye Zexi's house to help him pack his luggage, and brought along a simple schedule for the recording of the first episode for Ye Zexi to review.

Although the recording would officially start the day after tomorrow; however, starting from tomorrow, there would be a group of crew members and cameraman coming to start shooting the show.

Gao Shu also wanted to ask Ye Zexi's opinion. Of course the edited video release by the program group would definitely censor out important information like address, but there would inevitably be sharp-eyed viewers, for fear that they might find out Ye Zexi's current address.

In Gao Shu's view, unnecessary risks are best avoided.

Ye Zexi asked, "Are the other guests also leaving from their home?"

Gao Shu nodded, then paused and said, "Teacher He will start from the hotel. I heard that he is not in the Capital now."

Ye Zexi thought about it for a moment. He said, "It's okay, you can contact the staff and tell them to come over tomorrow."

The security of the lakeside villa is very good, even if some fans know the address, there is nothing to worry about.

Ye Zexi had said so, and Gao Shu naturally had no objection.

Early the next morning, the program team and Gao Shu were at the door of Ye Zexi's house.

The door was pulled open from inside, and Ye Zexi stuck his head out.

The early morning sun fell on Ye Zexi's face, making Ye Zexi's skin translucent and moisturized. The young man dressed in simple home clothes with black and soft hair. Seeing everyone, Ye Zexi's beautiful peachy eyes curled, and a hearty smile appeared: "Good morning, have you all eaten yet? The cooking aunt is making breakfast, how about coming in and having some."

The accompanying staff was stunned for an instant. They heard it right, did they?

It wasn't until they entered the room with Ye Zexi and started to eat breakfast in the dining room that the staff came back to their senses. They actually sat at Ye Zexi's house for a meal!

Before coming here, the staff were still a little worried.

After all, it was a door-to-door shooting. They had experienced the event of being kicked out of the room by an artist before, but they couldn't get angry, so they could only hold in their anger.

In the end, they had to wait for the artist to slowly put on their makeup, and they once again pretended to just get to the place to shoot the scene.

Looking at Ye Zexi on the side, Gao Shu was whispering to him about the arrangements.

The staff took another sip of soy milk and couldn't bear feeling touched in their hearts. As others said, Ye Zexi really doesn't give people attitude.

Such an artist will definitely be popular!

All this was silently recorded by the cameraman on the side.

After breakfast, everyone set off for the airport.

On the way to the airport, the staff briefly asked Ye Zexi a few more questions, which could be considered as a small interview.

By the time a few people landed at the destination and went to the hotel arranged by the program group, it was already in the afternoon.

There were no other arrangements from the program group in the evening, and the guests were free to do whatever they wanted.

Gao Shu heard from the staff that the other two guests had already arrived in Sanya, but Ye Zexi did not need to go out of his way to greet them. The program group would invite all the guests to have dinner together later on, and they could also get acquainted with each other.

As for He Jinyun, he heard that he had a temporary work arrangement and he could only go to Sanya tomorrow.

Ye Zexi nodded without saying anything.

Gao Shu left soon after, allowing Ye Zexi to rest.

Ye Zexi just slept on the plane and was not sleepy at all.

The program group was very generous, and the hotel arranged for the guests was Sanya's best seven-star hotel Atlantis.

As soon as Ye Zexi opened the window in his room, he could see the azure sea.

He felt the salty sea breeze touch his body, which was different from the cold and dry wind in the capital, with a hint of heat.

Ye Zexi admired the scenery for a while, suddenly as if thinking of something, he took out his phone and took a picture of the seascape and sent it to He Jinyun.

He Jinyun seemed to be busy, and he returned Ye Zexi's message very late: "Already there?"

Ye Zexi: "Yes, only you are not here!"

He Jinyun's lips curved up: "My flight is at nine o'clock, I will arrive in the early morning."

Ye Zexi: "Hurry up, I'll wait for you."

Seeing this message, He Jinyun paused with his finger on the phone screen.

An unknown place in the bottom of his heart seemed to be scratched slightly by the feather, a little itchy.

After a long time, He Jinyun replied: "Okay."

"Brother He, I..." Yu Ye ran over at this moment. Seeing He Jinyun's expression, he was taken aback for a while, and asked curiously, "Did Brother He encounter something happy?"

Why...did you smile so happily?

They have been very busy lately. He Jinyun's face often only shows tiredness and indifferentness. Except when it is work related, there is not even a single expression on He Jinyun's face during times like this.

Originally Yu Ye was a little worried, but now it seems that he shouldn't worry too much.

He Jinyun rubbed his swollen temples. Thinking of the words Ye Zexi had just sent him, the curvature of the corners of his mouth still didn't go down. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Maybe that can be counted. Why, what's the matter?"

When Yu Ye heard He Jinyun say this, he was a little pleased, smiled and said: "The director said that one more shot, then we can finish work early today. I booked a hotel for Brother He at the airport. Then you can go rest first. I'll call you when it's time to board the plane."

He Jinyun put down his cell phone, but did not refuse for the first time.

Tomorrow, he might have to make fried small fish for someone. He had to get a good night's sleep to regain his energy.

Early the next morning, the staff knocked on the doors of each guest.

Wei Bei was the first to appear in the assembly hall. When he saw the empty hall, Wei Bei was taken aback for a moment, and said with a smile: "It seems that I am first."

After Wei Bei, You Jia also arrived on the scene soon.

Ye Zexi was the third to arrive.

Last night, Director Zhang held a simple welcome party, and the three guests were probably getting familiar with each other.

Ye Zexi took the initiative to greet the two.

Wei Bei and You Jia also smiled and greeted him.

Several people chatted briefly and sat down at the dining table.

There were still five minutes before the shooting time, but He Jinyun still had not shown up.

Because it was for recording the show, Ye Zexi handed over his phone to Gao Shu before entering the hall.

He Jinyun should be here, right?

Ye Zexi suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Don't tell him that the flight is delayed by one day?

Ye Zexi sat aside, suddenly lost the mood to participate in the conversation between the other two guests.

Wei Bei had always been good at creating atmosphere, and soon noticed Ye Zexi's quietness. He quickly turned his head and asked Ye Zexi, "What's the matter? Is Zexi still sleepy? Why do you look so low spirit?"

Ye Zexi shook his head and said he's okay.

As soon as he said this, he saw a figure hurriedly walking in from the door.

Ye Zexi's eyes lit up instantly, stood up from where he was, and greeted the others in small steps: "Teacher He! You finally show up!"

Wei Bei and You Jia also heard the sound and looked up.

Ye Zexi immediately switched out of his previous anxiety and melancholy, the corners of his mouth were raised with a bright smile, and he looked at He Jinyun in front of him with some excitement.

The man was finally here, it was not a waste for him to wait for Teacher He.

I can have my fish!

He Jinyun's gaze also fell on Ye Zexi, and he reached out and patted Ye Zexi's back, his lips curved up: "Yeah, I'm here."

Ye Zexi's current expression was too different from just now. Wei Bei couldn't help it. He whispered to You Jia, "I can see that Zexi really likes our Teacher He!"

You Jia also laughed: "I can see it too."
