Chapter 35 (Here comes the drinking again…)

They live-streamed all the way to the entrance of the school, where Di Xingchen handed over the live-streaming phone to the staff and got into Huo Cheng’s car.

The crew stood by and watched them get into their cars one by one, saying to those watching the live stream, “That’s it for today, I’ll see you in the main event, Friday night, see you soon.”

[Ahhhhhhh, is that all? I haven’t even seen enough!

[I can’t believe it’s broken here, I don’t agree, just keep going live!

I’ve just smiled my aunt’s smile, and it’s over? We’re not picky eaters, we’ll watch whatever’s on, and we’ll watch them drink in silence!

Guo Bing smiles at the pop-ups.

Good, that’s the effect he was going for, the live broadcast was meant to whet the appetite.

There is no other director who can whet the appetite than Guo Bing!

As he was about to turn off his phone, he suddenly saw two pop-ups saying

[It was a good atmosphere just now, it felt like everyone was on good terms!

[Yes, yes, yes, I also think this season’s guests have a good atmosphere, it feels so harmonious and cozy!

Harmony?

Guo Bing thought, “He doesn’t see harmony, he just sees a lot of undercurrents everywhere!

“Do we all have to drive?” Hu Ying asked, suddenly speaking up.

Look, there’s an undercurrent!

Huo Cheng was about to get into his car when he looked back at Hu Ying.

Hu Ying said, “I can’t drive if I’m drinking later, so I won’t drive.”

With that, he also got into Huo Cheng’s car.

Huo Cheng froze for a moment, and the smile on his face faded.

Fuck.

He was actually quite good-natured, and could smile even when he was troubled, but he had just watched Di Xingchen get into his car, and he was so excited about the two of them being alone together, he was thinking about all the happy things he could think of, and his heart was bubbling with happiness, when Hu Ying suddenly jumped out.

He was so angry that his heart burst into a sigh of relief.

He looked at the few remaining men, Yan Zhi, standing in the rain under the streetlights with their umbrellas, one more handsome and taller than the other.

Huo Cheng felt the wind at his back when he thought that many of these people might be his rivals.

“Hu Ying has a point. If we don’t put the car here, we have to put it outside the bar, but we can’t fit in one car, so we have to drive another one.” Lin Qingning said.

He didn’t really know why Hu Ying was in Huo Cheng’s car.

Huo Cheng has a thing for Di Xingchen, and he thinks Hu Ying saw it coming, too, and Huo Cheng is still quite obvious.

Di Xingchen is indeed dazzling tonight, and I’m afraid Huo Cheng is now filled with the fire of love.

But Hu Ying and Di Xingchen have always been the best of the eight of them, so perhaps Hu Ying was excited to see Di Xingchen’s performance and wanted to talk to him more.

He can only express his sympathy for Huo Cheng.

Yan Zhi and Pei Xu both supported Hu Ying’s idea.

“Then let’s drive two cars.” Yan Zhi said.

“I’ll drive then.” Pei Xu said, “I’m not drinking today.”

Both expressions were muted, but Hu Ying’s behaviour made them both feel a lot better.

Although Hu Ying is no better than Huo Cheng, the siren.

But at least there’s not someone to be alone with Di Xingchen.

Duan Yihua and Wen Nuo got into Huo Cheng’s car, Pei Xu, Lin Qingning and Yan Zhi got into a car.

The atmosphere in Pei Xu’s car is silent.

The silence is even a little awkward.

None of the three are talkative or lively people.

Lin Qingning is relatively cheerful by comparison.

So Lin Qingning took the initiative to break the silence: “What a great performance by Xingchen and the others today.”

Well, that’s the only kind of boring crap he’ll find, too.

They had just seen Di Xingchen play and what could they discuss without discussing Di Xingchen.

To my surprise, both Yan Zhi and Pei Xu did not respond to his words, and both said “hmm”.

Lin Qingning took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

” Yan Zhi isn’t the first time I’ve seen Xingchen dance, is it?” He smiled and turned around to ask, “Didn’t you say when you first came here that you saw Xingchen dance the first time you saw him?”

Yan Zhi gave another “hmm”.

“So do you think he looked better dancing last time or this time?”

“It’s all very nice.” Yan Zhi says.

OK.

Lin Qingning didn’t know how to continue. He felt that the question he had just asked was also stupid.

It was then that he realised the benefits of both Hu Ying and Di Xingchen.

With them around, he didn’t even have to think about the topic.

He then glanced towards the Audi in front of him.

The other car should be buzzing right now.

The atmosphere in Huo Cheng’s car was extremely lively.

But Huo Cheng doesn’t see it as ‘active’, he sees it as ‘loud’.

He frowned slightly.

Di Xingchen sat in the passenger seat and Hu Ying sat behind him, blathering on the back of the seat.

“I almost revealed myself this morning you know? The director told us to keep it a secret and said he wanted to give you a surprise, so I couldn’t hold it in and almost revealed myself, but luckily I managed to hold it in at the end. How was it? Were you surprised tonight? What was your reaction to the first sight of us?”

Di Xingchen said, “I actually guessed before I got on stage that the crew would come and film it because I also took my final exams last year and it wasn’t that big of a show at all, this time our school leaders were here and I saw more camera space on stage than before. But I didn’t expect you all to come and see the show and have a live broadcast.”

“The director said he was afraid you would be nervous if you knew.” Duan Yihua says as he gazes at Di Xingchen.

Di Xingchen smiled and looked at him, the car was dark and hazy, only the light from the street lamp came through the window, Di Xingchen’s face looked young and handsome in the light night: “It’s really thanks to the director for not telling me in advance, if I knew it was live, I would have been very nervous.”

When he finished he smiled brightly, his smile bright.

Duan Yihua sits in the back row, quietly watching Di Xingchen.

He used to think that Di Xingchen’s vivacity was on a par with Hu Ying’s, but today he realises that even though they are both cheerful, Di Xingchen and Hu Ying are very different.

Hu Ying is like fire, he is like light.

“You danced really well today,” Hu Ying said. Hu Ying said, “We were all amazed and blown away.”

Huo Cheng said, “You’re quite good at making up idioms.”

Wen Nuo said, “Xingchen danced really well today. I think out of all the shows, they had the best dance and out of all the dancers, Xingchen was the most impressive.”

The Central Academy of Dance is full of talented people, and there are countless beautiful men and women, but when I think back after watching it, Di Xingchen is the only one who shines in my mind.

Hu Ying immediately said, “Look, Xiao Nuo has said that he doesn’t say false things.”

Di Xingchen stretched out his arms and said, “I’m going to float if you guys keep praising me, but it’s a good thing I’m strapped in.”

Even Huo Cheng laughed at this.

He smiles and cranes his head to look at Di Xingchen in the passenger seat, the corners of his mouth are smiling but his eyes are greedy.

He really liked him.

What a fucking great personality.

A nice person with an even better personality that makes you feel sweet to look at.

Di Xingchen on stage, dazzling like Xingchen in the sky, with a touch of fantasy, but now that he is staying close by and coming back to earth, the after-effects of this dance slowly come to the surface.

When I look at Di Xingchen again, I feel that he is not the same as before.

Huo Cheng couldn’t tell what was different, obviously his face was still the same, his personality was still the same, but when he looked at Di Xingchen now, looking at his smile, his heart was bubbling with joy.

Huo Cheng’s friend owns a bar called “Night Fire”, which is very famous in the southern part of the city, and when he heard that the crew was coming, he personally brought someone out to greet them.

Several new bars have recently opened in the South City, which has greatly affected their shop’s business, and it’s a free advertisement for them to be on TV.

A group of people got out of the car, plus the programme crew, a total of more than twenty, a huge group, and the owner gave them the most luxurious box in their bar.

“Which one do you like?” The other person smiled and asked Huo Cheng.

Huo Cheng said smugly, “The one with the best smile.” The other person looks over at the remaining guests and finally settles on Di Xingchen.

All of them are good looking, one more beautiful than the male stars, but the one with the best smile is the one in jeans and white shirt.

Clean, sunny and the most beautiful of the group.

“Good eye.” The other man slapped him on the shoulder, “Cheers to you.”

After saying that, he couldn’t help but glance at Hu Ying again.

His vision is different from Huo Cheng’s. He likes to look like a glamour queen.

It’s so tempting to look at.

The first thing Di Xingchen did after entering the private room was to go to the bathroom and wash his face to get rid of all the makeup.

He was washing when he saw someone push in the door.

It’s Yan Zhi.

Yan Zhi did not go inside to the toilet, but also went to the sink, turned on the other tap and rinsed his hands.

Di Xingchen glanced into the mirror and saw Yan Zhi’s eyes staring back at him, the lenses of his glasses glowing a little red in the direct light of the white light overhead.

“How did it wash out?” Yan Zhi asked.

Di Xingchen straightens up with a smile and says, “The stage makeup is too heavy.”

“It’s nice to look at.”

Di Xingchen then turned his head to look at him.

Yan Zhi then said, “But it looks good when you wash it off.”

Di Xingchen is back to his plain-faced self. But his skin is so good, so white, no pores visible, no more stage glamour, his eyes look brighter, I’ve never seen anyone look so good.

It seems like the whole thing smells good and the forehead hair is wet and dark and soft.

A door separates the two of them in the bathroom, like a private world from everyone else.

Yan Zhi looked at Di Xingchen and let out a soft laugh.

Di Xingchen wiped his face with a disposable paper towel and was about to throw it away when Yan Zhi reached out and said, “Give it to me.”

“I used it.”

“I wipe my hands.”

“You’re not a clean freak.”

“Is it dirty?”

“Dirty is not dirty.”

Yan Zhi then took it and wiped his hands: “Let’s go.”

Di Xingchen turns around and heads outside. Yan Zhi seems to be throwing away the used tissue, but when Di Xingchen is not looking, his fingers curl slightly and he holds the tissue in his hand, then pockets it.

As soon as they came out, they saw Wen Nuo and Lin Qingning gathered around Hu Ying watching a video.

Hu Ying found Di Xingchen’s Lanling dance from somewhere and immediately grabbed his phone to read him the pop-ups when he saw him coming out.

“How many times do you have to watch it,” Di Xingchen says, “and stop reading me the pop-ups, I’m embarrassed.”

He was not that good a dancer, and he really deserved some of the praise he received.

“Watch it again for the last billionth time!” Hu Ying says with a smile as he holds his phone.

“Order something to eat,” Di Xingchen said, “I didn’t even eat dinner today because of the show.”

“Is there anything to eat in this bar?” Duan Yihua asked.

“Yes!” Huo Cheng said standing up, “What would you like to eat?”

Di Xingchen says: “It’s just enough to feed your stomach.”

He said and looked at Hu Ying and the others, “Do you want to eat?”

“There’s nothing good to eat at the bar, I want a barbecue. Hu Ying said, “I know a famous barbecue place around here, I’ll order some barbecue and have it delivered, you should eat junk food for a late night snack. What do you all want to eat?”

“I want to eat crayfish.” Di Xingchen said.

“Arrange!”

Hu Ying got up to make a phone call, but just as he left, Huo Cheng took his seat.

When they first came in, Huo Cheng was the last to come in because he was chilling with his friends, and by the time he came in, there was no room for Di Xingchen.

“Drink as much as you can today.” Huo Cheng said, turning to the staff at the next table, “Don’t just shoot, it’s on me today, I’ll buy you all the good wine you want.”

The staff won’t be drinking along with them, it’s all about the main event tonight.

Especially with these guests parting ways for a short time tomorrow, and with the excitement of the final show tonight, there’s sure to be a lot going on!

But with a staff of 20 to 30 people, Guo Bing felt that too many staff would affect the guests’ performance.

They show is still more about authenticity.

After consulting with the guests, they set up several cameras in the box, leaving only two photographers in the box at the end, while the others went next door.

Now all the guests are sitting on the red sofa, Pei Xu at the far end and Duan Yihua at the other end.

It was a rare moment of restraint for these two men.

But the reasons for restraint are not the same.

Duan Yihua is ashamed.

The time when his emotions are at their hottest is, in turn, the time when he is most ashamed. He has now reached a point where to rush through is to explode, to hold back is to go back to being the demure, self-possessed, mature man again.

He didn’t know what to do with himself, so he took sip after sip of wine.

He’s not a good drinker and doesn’t really enjoy them, finding them either too bitter or too spicy.

But this unpleasant taste, in turn, eased the anxiety in his mind.

Pei Xu is the most sensible person at this time.

Tonight everyone is going crazy.

It was something he had anticipated.

At such times, it is people like Hu Ying and Huo Cheng who are most likely to have the upper hand. It’s important to be calm when you don’t necessarily know what to say even if you’re in front of them.

It’s the same thing as speculating in stocks, when everyone goes crazy, you need to keep your sanity instead.

Fortunately, he was steady.

He lounged lazily on the sofa, swiping at his phone as he thought silently.

With that he heard a voice that gave him goose bumps.

” Brother Pei .”

Pei Xu’s heart skipped a beat when he looked up and saw Di Xingchen walking up to him at some point.

He put the phone down and sat up straighter slightly nervously, “Hmm.”

“Do you eat? And you don’t drink, and you don’t hang out with everyone.” Di Xingchen says.

He’s really fucked up about the jjwxc male lead!

Pei Xu said, “I can’t drink, I’ll drive later when we get back.”

He glanced towards Huo Cheng and the others and realised that Hu Ying’s order had already been delivered, seven or eight bags of barbecue he had ordered, and Yan Zhi and the others were helping to take it out to the table.

He looked up at Di Xingchen again and met his bright eyes.

“Then I’ll have something to eat.” He said.

Di Xingchen tapped him on the shoulder.

Pei Xu suddenly felt like he was being treated special.

Di Xingchen is still concerned about him and is paying attention to what he is doing.

He had to admit that his so-called sanity just now was more or less a self-congratulatory remark.

He is like a child who has been left out in the cold and is sweetened by the slightest offer of a candy.

He followed Di Xingchen to the table.

But Di Xingchen is heading straight for Duan Yihua.

” Brother Duan .” He heard Di Xingchen call.

Pei Xu : “……”

Well, he made a fool of himself.

Duan Yihua accidentally drank too much.

Not drunk, but one is confused.

Wen Nuo is on hand to give him a drink of water.

When he sees Di Xingchen approaching him, Duan Yihua puts down his glass and leans back on the sofa, looking at Di Xingchen and smiling.

He waved his hand and pulled the baseball cap off his head, covering his face.

“Let Brother Duan lie down for a while.” Wen Nuo said, “He may have had too much to drink.”

Hu Ying immediately turned his head to look over at his words, ” Brother Duan has had too much to drink?”

He was surprised.

Duan Yihua is the most dignified and generous of all of them, and is very generous with what he eats and drinks and what he says and does.

Hu Ying then took off his coat and handed it to Di Xingchen.

Di Xingchen then covers it to Duan Yihua.

This act broke through Duan Yihua’s last stronghold at once.

He instantly lost his grip, as if all his years of self-restraint had been turned into a flood of beasts. He pushed down his hat, looked at Di Xingchen with hot eyes and reached out to grab his arm.

The face is flushed.

Di Xingchen called out, ” Brother Duan?”

Duan Yihua couldn’t make a sound, the wine burned his throat and he was thirsty.

He was also thinking about this box full of cameras.

He’s got it all on film now.

He let go of Di Xingchen’s arm.

Di Xingchen was amazed.

Duan Yihua just looked at him with that look in his eyes, it felt so hot.

Why did he feel he saw love?

Why? Di Xingchen is a bit confused.

He feels that he has been quite restrained with Duan Yihua. In the original Di Xingchen was a real licking dog, licking him so hard that Duan Yihua didn’t even give him a second thought, just treating him like a dick.

And he hardly had much contact with Duan Yihua except for a Touched Message on the first day.

Was it just because of the dance he did tonight?

The programme team next door are going crazy.

“Holy fuck, Brother Duan that look!!!”

“Does he get that look too? I feel so …… lustful ……”

“Today’s dance really did pay off big time!”

” Duan Yihua is so bullish on sex, sense, that good man sex, sense.”

The camera shows him with a handsome, flushed face and a very stoic, mature man’s sexuality.

“Xingchen, come and have a barbecue, didn’t you already yell that you were starving?” Hu Ying shouted.

Di Xingchen used to eat.

Alas, the barbecue in my hands didn’t even smell good.

Every now and then he glances towards Duan Yihua.

Hu Ying took in all his movements and looked towards Duan Yihua as well.

What did Duan Yihua just say when he pulled Di Xingchen’s arm?

Di Xingchen liked Duan Yihua, which he knew.

He had been an assistant for both of them before.

Hu Ying could not tell you how he felt for a while.

Wasn’t this what he had been waiting for?

Now that Di Xingchen and Duan Yihua are making progress, he should be happy.

He should also make an effort and try to develop further with Yan Zhi.

He then glanced across at Yan Zhi.

Yan Zhi, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and with his cuffs rolled up, is peeling shrimps.

He is such a neat freak, but at the moment he is peeling shrimps, which he does not eat himself, and the white flesh is put to the side.

“Anyone eating?” Yan Zhi lifted the plate of shrimp up.

“Don’t you eat it yourself?” Hu Ying asked.

Yan Zhi said, “Not much of a shrimp eater.”

If you don’t eat it, you’re too nice.

Hu Ying then reached out and took one.

Yan Zhi handed the plate to Wen Nuo, who shook his head, “I can’t eat spicy food.”

Lin Qingning also shook his head, neither of them eating spicy food.

Yan Zhi then handed the plate to Di Xingchen.

Di Xingchen took one and Yan Zhi put the plate directly in front of him.

Huo Cheng looks on in silence.

He thinks Yan Zhi is really the most clever of the group. He was very good at all these tricks.

Huo Cheng drank from a bottle of beer, thinking that he was still not careful enough to realise that Di Xingchen liked prawns, otherwise he would have peeled them too.

Di Xingchen’s mind was not on the crawfish, he was wearing gloves and eating while wondering if his dancing was too sassy?

Is it?

There’s one thing to say, if Lovespiration has given each guest the opportunity to show their charisma, then there’s no doubt that the crew called everyone over today just to give him a chance to do so.

Maybe he was too impressive today.

And the dance is too offensive.

No, he needs to get back to being a good sister.

As he was thinking, he saw Duan Yihua staggering up and sitting next to Wen Nuo.

Wen Nuo asked, ” Brother Duan what do you want to eat?”

Duan Yihua said, “I won’t eat, I’ll watch you eat.”

The words spoken are still drunk and a little tongue-tied.

Di Xingchen couldn’t help but glance towards Duan Yihua, but he met his gaze.

Di Xingchen It feels like crayfish really don’t smell good anymore.

He thought about it and came up with a good idea.

After wiping his mouth, he took off his gloves and asked, “Did you all not enjoy watching me dance today?”

As soon as he said that, Hu Ying, who was eating a lamb kebab, sat up straight: “What do you mean, are you going to dance for us?”

“I’ll give you my best dance,” Di Xingchen said, “Actually, the Lantern King dance today is not my style of expertise.”

“Can you dance any better?” Huo Cheng asked with a face full of wine.

Di Xingchen smiled mysteriously, gave Duan Yihua a silent look, and then said, “Watch me!”

There was a jukebox in the booth that kept playing soft music, and he went over to it and picked it out for a long time.

Hu Ying asked, “What style do you want to dance?”

Di Xingchen picked a song.

When the music starts, Hu Ying is happy.

“Ah, I know this song!”

Wen Nuo says shyly, “I know this song too ……”

Only Duan Yihua and Pei Xu are unaware of this.

Pei Xu frowns slightly.

He had a feeling it wasn’t a very good song. For it begins with two extremely titillating humming gasps.

“What’s the song?” Huo Cheng asked Wen Nuo with two blank eyes.

Wen Nuo said sheepishly, “Green Mei Fox.”
