Chapter 54 - Secret Dislike

The conditions in Room 3 were indeed very poor, just as poor inside as outside, with a kang, an eight-person table, two long benches, and other household items such as basins and kettles, and a fireplace next to it.

"Just one bed?" Pei Xu asks.

Hu Ying said, "Yes, it's just a bed."

If he has some affection for Yan Zhi, he really doesn't have much for Pei Xu.

His affection for Pei Xu disappeared when he chased his out for a run and he dumped him.

"I'll go and see the programme team, see if we can get a new house, how can we sleep in these conditions." Hu Ying said fussyly.

The room smelled of perfume, so strong that Pei Xu frowned a little and came out of it.

Hu Ying also came out and ran to deal with the programme.

"Fair and square," Guo Bing said. "It's your lottery, so bear with me, it's only two days."

"Is that house really habitable? It's tens of degrees below zero over here."

"Don't worry, it'll be livable, and when the bed burns, you might even get sweaty." Guo Bing said.

"But it's only one bed," Hu Ying said, "is it appropriate to sleep in one bed when you're not even in a committed relationship?"

"We're all men, and there are cameras everywhere, so what's the point of being inappropriate? Guo Bing says, "But the good thing is that the bed is big enough for two people to sleep on. Besides, Pei Xu is an honest man."

Hu Ying feels that it would be too narcissistic to continue this conversation as if he is worried that Pei Xu is planning something against him, and seeing that Guo Bing has no intention of compromising, he has to give up and go back to the hut, only to come back and see that Pei Xu is already tidying up his room.

Pei Xu wiped down the table and the bed with a disposable washcloth.

He's quite quick to take it in, this guy.

Hu Ying said, "The programme team refused to change it and said we should make do."

Pei Xu gave a "hmm" and said, "Someone has to live there."

Pei Xu is a wealthy young man who is even more valuable than herself, so Hu Ying can't afford to be pretentious.

Hu Ying thinks Pei Xu has changed quite a lot after the two of them cleaned the room.

It doesn't seem so cold.

Only bored with work.

It was cold and his hands were frozen red, his bones thick and well-defined, looking manly and slender and strong.

In fact, Pei Xu would have been good overall if he hadn't been so unpleasantly grumpy.

Men who are exceptionally good-looking and high-strung are always inexplicably appealing.

Hu Ying is a big fan of details like knuckles, and in his experience, men with large knuckles and throats are not easy.

As we all know, the four blue male guests this season have four best.

Pei Xu's throat, Yan Zhi's hands, Di Xingchen's waist and Huo Cheng's pectorals.

He goes for a peek at Pei Xu's throat knot.

It stands out clearly, really absolutely.

The man looks good too, he just looks full of energy. Such an aloof loner must have built up a ton of energy.

These were his previous favourites, ah.

Hu Ying thought, "It's not the same when you're in a relationship, but when you're in a relationship, your personality is more important.

Di Xingchen is just as fond of him as he is without them.

That's true love, right?

And yes, he really does like Di Xingchen.

Hu Ying is even more certain of his intentions.

When faced with a man of Pei Xu's quality, colour can be resisted, and that's what he Hu Ying loves!

If only he could take a bath with Di Xingchen.

He felt that Yan Zhi and Di Xingchen were a waste of time together.

It's a waste of Di Xingchen and a waste of a great spring pool.

Yan Zhi, he won't even take off his clothes, will he?

It was a pure waste to give him room number one.

Live streaming is now divided into multiple windows again, just as it was when it first went to sea.

Almost half of the crowd went to see Yan Zhi and Di Xingchen.

There are two groups of people who watch Pei Xu and Hu Ying: their respective fans and a very small number of CP fans. The cold and handsome man vs. the gorgeous beauty was a popular pair at first.

[After watching the Pei Xu and Lin Qingning live stream, I should have remembered not to watch any more of Stinky Face's live streams.

[Just watching the two of them sulking around tidying up their room, not even interacting with each other].

[Hu Ying is such a lively person, but he can't even carry Pei Xu, so it seems that Pei Xu is really hopeless.

[I really didn't expect Pei Xu to be the first one to drop out, can he be PASSED?

[I now suspect that the hat he just put on Di Xingchen was just a random act.

[It's a pity really, so handsome and in such quality condition].

[As a Brother Pei fan, I am really relieved to see him like this.

[Is Pei Xu's fund profitable? Which fund? Can you point me in the right direction?

The topic was successfully skewed and became a fundie exchange, with the number of live viewers dropping bit by bit.

Although the house had been reorganised, Hu Ying still hated it after one more look, so he said to Pei Xu, "Come on, let's go and see how the others' houses are doing."

They came out of Room 3 and saw Huo Cheng and Wen Nuo.

"How is your house?" Huo Cheng asks.

Huo Cheng is now looking at Hu Ying in a more favourable light.

They share the same illness!

Yan Zhi is now their common love interest!

Hu Ying said, "Don't mention it, I haven't seen such a shabby house since I was a kid."

Huo Cheng took a look at their third room: "It's okay, it's similar to our previous house."

If he hadn't mentioned it, Hu Ying would have forgotten that Huo Cheng also came from a bitter background.

He now has a concrete idea of how difficult it is for Huo Cheng.

I admire Huo Cheng, but I also like him a little bit more.

Within a few hundred metres, they saw room two.

Room 2 is situated just outside the Little North Pole, next to the White Jade Lake, where Lin Qingning is skirting.

They went for a tour of room two, which was clean and welcoming, and the snowy mountain ice lake was beautiful, with people cutting ice for fishing and several people gathered around to watch.

" Where is Brother Duan?" Hu Ying asked.

"He's gone to the welcome home where the show is staying, he's not feeling too well, he's getting fluids."

The team stayed at a guest house called Welcome Inn in the Little North Pole. It is very close to room one where Yan Zhi and Di Xingchen are staying. Duan Yihua is lying in bed, receiving fluids and looking very pale.

From the programme, the group went straight to the Most Northern Inn.

Di Xingchen and Yan Zhi's live streams have been extremely popular.

Guo Bing and co. were also very pleased: "It's amazing how attractive it is to have two popular guests living together."

To be honest, Huo Cheng is very tense and Hu Ying and Di Xingchen are a good match, but in terms of the show's most anticipated couple, it's the Shooting Star couple.

The most popular guest in the Red and Blue Houses, paired with the most popular guest on the internet, is a powerful combination.

The two of them just cleaned a room together and the pop-ups were all pink bubbles.

Di Xingchen watches Yan Zhi.

The first thing Yan Zhi did when he settled in was to clean up.

He cleaned everything he could and scrubbed the bathroom, and Di Xingchen saw how carefully he cleaned, leaving no nooks and crannies untouched.

He knew Yan Zhi had a serious cleanliness problem.

He was always very cooperative and helped Yan Zhi with the cleaning.

Yan Zhi said, "Did it scare you?"

Di Xingchen said, "Luckily, I know you have a cleanliness problem."

Yan Zhi said, "Don't feel pressured, do what you feel comfortable with, don't take me into account. I'm clean externally, not internally."

[External not internal, tsk tsk.]

[It's an insider now.]

[Boing Boing, this pair is the best, what the hell are Pei Xu and Hu Ying and the others!

Yan Zhi's bedroom is generally off limits to others and he doesn't need to be cleaned, he does it all himself. He likes the feeling of having the whole bedroom to himself, it's a very odd possessiveness, only his traces, only his scent.

He now cleans so carefully because he wants the room to be his and Di Xingchen's alone.

Only the scent of them both, only traces of them both.

Even if it was only for two short days, he had the cottage to himself for the two of them.

Di Xingchen thought to himself, "He knows about the double standard cleanliness. All fictional male protagonists are like that.

It's just that the male protagonist's double standard is only for his love interest and does not include him as the male counterpart.

Yan Zhi has a good temper and wants him to be as comfortable as he can be, but he can't really take it seriously himself, he has to be self-aware.

He looked at Yan Zhi.

Yan Zhi is wearing a high-collared white jumper, gold-rimmed glasses, a fair complexion and red lips, and his hands are so beautiful, white and long, with fingers like sharpened onion roots.

It feels like a waste to hold a rag in these hands.

A man who is so clean is a Longma, but I've heard that Longma is the most heavy-handed of all.

These cleanest hands may do the most unclean things. These cleanest lips may kiss ......

Ah, the living brain.

Can't think about it anymore.

There was a sudden noise outside and he heard Hu Ying shout, "Holy shit this house is great!!!"

He immediately stood up, " Hu Ying they're here."

Yan Zhi said, "Go and greet them, don't ask them to come into the bedroom."

Di Xingchen put on the duvet and said, "Good."

[Don't call them in? Tsk, tsk, tsk.]

Huo Cheng's concern is not about the house.

Once inside, he didn't see Di Xingchen or Yan Zhi.

The thought that the two of them might be alone in the bedroom at this very moment is a firestorm in Huo Cheng's mind.

The fire of jealousy.

If he had not stepped into this house, he would not have felt the jealousy so strong.

" Di Xingchen ." He called.

Di Xingchen emerges from the bedroom, still zipping up his duvet.

Pei Xu glances towards Di Xingchen.

"What are you doing?" Huo Cheng asked.

"It's sanitation." Di Xingchen said.

"We've come to visit your house." Lin Qingning said with a smile.

A group of them took a tour of the house.

It is the most northerly inn in the scenic area, hence the name "The Most Northerly Inn", and there are only three rooms in total.

Yan Zhi was scrubbing the floor, so they stood in the doorway and looked in.

Would these two beds be too close together?

Huo Cheng wanted to.

And Yan Zhi is still mopping the floor at this time, so they can't afford to go back in.

" Xingchen, as his former roommate, I'd like to remind you that he has a very perverse cleanliness problem." Huo Cheng said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

As a result, Yan Zhi also replied, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Yes, I have a very positive cleanliness problem, so it's best if people don't come into either of our rooms."

[Crap! Did you see that shot? Pei Xu!

[What's wrong, what's wrong, what's wrong with Pei Xu?

[Just now Yan Zhi said not to enter our room, Pei Xu showed a very disdainful expression!

What's the love roundup looking at, it's this dark tearing micro-expression!

Everyone was suddenly excited.

Where is it? I already knew this was going to be a battle royale, but I was focused on Huo Cheng!

[Does Pei Xu really have that look on his face, isn't he a dead man's face?

[Every one of them was disgusted with Stinky Face just now, but now they are getting excited again.

[Everyone is hating on him, but who doesn't want to see him hit his face?

The best way to get the most out of a person like this is to abuse him to death. It's not that I like him either, but it's mainly the face-punching that makes YADS!

[That's it, he's so tugging, I want to see him get hot, I want to see the rise go away, I want to see him cry!

[Crap, little yellow face.]

Pei Xu was not as sharp and explosive as Huo Cheng, but I don't know if it was the house sharing that gave him a sense of crisis, but when he heard Yan Zhi's words, he thought coldly.

Both of us?

But like me, you haven't even earned your name yet, and you're talking about us?

Heh.

He glanced at Huo Cheng and Hu Ying beside him.

Yan Zhi should be given a taste of his own medicine, for his tail is so high.
