Chapter 56 - Burning the bed

It was indeed cold outside and the wind was stronger than during the day. The wind was blowing snow particles on the ground.

Huo Cheng refused to wear his hat at first, but after standing in the cold wind for two minutes, he couldn't resist putting it on.

But the night sky was beautiful, with a crescent moon in the sky, countless stars and crisp air.

"The starry river fills the sky." Hu Ying tilted his head and lamented.

They all looked up at the starry sky, which was so bright that several of them thought of Di Xingchen.

A bookshop next door was playing a very beautiful and soft song.

"That's a good song."

"Is it a Christmas song?"

"You haven't heard of it, it's called 'True Love'." Di Xingchen says, "I've seen the film of the same name before, and then I searched for the song."

"I know this movie, I brush it up every winter. There's a secret love story that I really like." Lin Qingning asked, "Is this the Chinese song from that movie?"

"I don't know if it matters."

Just as he finished speaking, the melody of a Christmas song did play.

"You guys listen." Di Xingchen said. "Ding dong dong dong, ding dong dong dong."

He grunts.

"Please don't sing." Hu Ying said. Hu Ying said, "He's a handsome guy, but his mouth is disillusioned."

Wen Nuo And they laughed.

Huo Cheng thought to himself, "Hu Ying is so unappreciative, he sings so lovely!

He was so cute he couldn't wait to hug and kiss Di Xingchen.

You say how nice it would be if Di Xingchen was his boyfriend and all these people were his friends. He could put his arm around Di Xingchen, Yan Zhi, Hu Ying, and he could treat them all sincerely! How harmonious it would be for everyone.

The Little North Pole is so beautiful at night, all the buildings are lit up with coloured lights and there are moose shaped street lights all along the road.

The staff said, "A few kilometres east of here, there's a world of ice and snow, which is very famous."

"How many kilometres?" Hu Ying said, "Too far, isn't it?"

"It's a few minutes if you drive there. It's only half an hour on foot."

The show clearly looks like it wants them to go.

The Ice World is a very important local attraction.

Hu Ying said, "I'm exhausted after a long day of flying and driving, so let's take a break and go back tomorrow.

Huo Cheng was willing to go and so was Pei Xu, but the others were less willing to go.

Too tired and cold, having just eaten and drunk, one is even lazier.

Yan Zhi is particularly reluctant to go.

He can't wait to get back to his and Di Xingchen's red and blue cottage and enjoy the world as a couple.

This also means that the sooner they break up and rest, the more time they have to themselves.

In the end the group decided to go back tomorrow.

They then went back into Room 1 to discuss their meals for tomorrow.

"As usual, let's all come and eat with us in the morning, we have a big enough kitchen and a big table." Di Xingchen volunteered.

Huo Cheng They certainly don't have a problem with that.

"What about groceries, where do we buy them?" Hu Ying asked, "Is there a supermarket here?"

"There is a mini-mart, but the programme team said we should go to the market tomorrow." Di Xingchen said.

"Is it far?" Hu Ying asked.

"Seven or eight miles, I think." Di Xingchen says, "Gotta drive. The programme team has a car."

"Then I'll go with you tomorrow." Huo Cheng said.

"I want to go too." Hu Ying said.

This local market must be very interesting, and Di Xingchen said, "I think everyone wants to go, so why don't we go tomorrow?"

Wen Nuo nods busily.

He also wanted to go, he had heard that the fairs here were completely different from the south, especially the country fairs, which he had only seen on TV.

"Do you want to order a menu and see what all you need to buy tomorrow?" Di Xingchen asks.

Yan Zhi brought over a pot of hot tea, separated the cups and poured one for each of them.

Huo Cheng raised his hand slightly to indicate that he was not drinking.

As soon as they returned to Room 1, Huo Cheng felt that Yan Zhi was acting like a host and began to entertain them in every way, offering to fetch cups and pour tea.

"No, we'll go to the market tomorrow and see what's on sale, and then we can buy whatever we want." Hu Ying said, "We should have fun when we get here, maybe there's food at the market, we can have lunch there and come back."

"What time is the market over here, is it morning or afternoon?" Wen Nuo asks.

"We don't have to go very early, it's too cold, it's so cold, people here don't get up too early, I think we should just go after breakfast." Hu Ying said.

"What's for breakfast?" Lin Qingning asked.

"I'm not going to eat in the morning, I'm going to sleep in." Hu Ying said.

"We all brought some food with us, so let's just have a bite, don't let Xingchen do it, it's cold." Huo Cheng said to Di Xingchen, "Take a good rest too, you've just arrived and you're not used to it yet, don't fall ill like Brother Duan."

Di Xingchen said, "We'll see tomorrow."

Yan Zhi was going to take a shower, so Lin Qingning got up and said, "That's settled then, I'll go first."

Wen Nuo also got up and turned his head towards Huo Cheng.

Huo Cheng didn't move, but said, "Are you going to bed so early? I'm not sleepy at all."

"I'm not sleepy either." Hu Ying said, looking at Di Xingchen and saying in a slightly petulant tone, "Why don't I squeeze in with you? Di Xingchen said, "Did you leave Pei Xu behind?"

Pei Xu, who had been holding his hot water cup, suddenly started to say, "I'm fine on my own."

Yan Zhi paused at the words, pursed his lips and looked at Hu Ying.

Huo Cheng took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "Their bedroom is quite big, you can make a floor bed, they have underfloor heating here, so it won't freeze you. But you shouldn't ask Xingchen about that, you need to ask the cleanliness guy."

How could Yan Zhi not know what Huo Cheng had in mind? His expression changed a little and he said indifferently, "If you do that, then what's the point of dividing the house behind you?"

He finished and went to take a shower.

A hammer to seal the deal.

Huo Cheng still has some admiration for this love rival in his heart.

What a way to find excuses!

Hu Ying was just being a pussy and didn't really want to stay overnight. Yan Zhi is right, rules are rules, and a romance is built on a set of rules. If they were to just come along, it would be chaotic and the crew would definitely intervene, which wouldn't be good for their guests.

Lin Qingning smiled and said softly, "I'll leave you to it then."

"Shall I send you?" Di Xingchen asked.

Lin Qingning said, "No, we have a camera."

He said but looked at Pei Xu: "Pei Xu, are you going?" Hu Ying got up at that moment: "Let's go, one piece."

Wen Nuo looks at Huo Cheng.

Huo Cheng reluctantly stood up.

Di Xingchen felt that although Hu Ying was just being petulant and joking earlier, Yan Zhi didn't catch his joke and made Hu Ying a bit embarrassed, so he said, "Come on, I'll go and see how bad your room number three really is."

Hu Ying immediately regained his energy: "It's really, really bad!"

Once the group was out of the door and out of the viewpoint, Lin Qingning went ahead and went back to Room 2.

Huo Cheng and Wen Nuo also joined us for a tour of Room 3.

Hu Ying turned on the light in the room and Huo Cheng looked at the light and said, "Damn, it's so dark."

A single, dim light shines on the cold room.

"You can burn a bed, right?" Di Xingchen took pity on them both too.

"It can burn." Pei Xu says.

He carried a pile of firewood from a corner of the room. Everyone was curious about this whole burning the bed thing and crouched down by it to watch.

A bunch of handsome, well-dressed men squatted around the bed watching, a heartwarming and hilarious sight that made Guo Bing and the others laugh.

Pei Xu, a rich kid who had never burned a fire before, spent a lot of time on it and ran out of oil paper, but the fire didn't light up.

Huo Cheng, who comes from a poor background and has experience, was able to light the firewood in three strokes, and the fire grew bigger and bigger.

As he fell, he bumped into Di Xingchen, who felt hands around his waist so he didn't follow him to the ground. He looked back and saw that it was Pei Xu.

"Holy fuck, my clothes!" Hu Ying shouted.

He had a big hole in his down jacket.

Di Xingchen stood up and hurriedly pulled him up again. Hu Ying laughed at himself first, the firelight reflecting red on his face as he watched Huo Cheng throw the coals in and followed suit, wiping his face afterwards, his face blackened with soot.

"I heard a saying that if you play with fire at night, you will wet the bed." Hu Ying said. Hu Ying said, "I feel a bit like that from being roasted."

The face is hot, but the back half of the body is cold, a combination of hot and cold.

"You must be careful to drink plenty of hot water," Huo Cheng said, "otherwise you can easily get hot."

"And I ate so much lamb today." Hu Ying said.

Di Xingchen smiled and said, "Is it dry?"

Hu Ying said, "One pillar, the sky."

Wen Nuo blushed slightly and said, "Can this burn overnight?"

"It's not going to get there, it's going to stop in the second half of the night," Huo Cheng says. Huo Cheng says, "but there's enough warmth left to last until daylight."

Wen Nuo touched the bed curiously and said with surprise, "It's starting to get hot."

Di Xingchen helped them make the bed and we sat in the shabby hut and talked for a while. The bed was getting hotter and hotter, and in some places it was a little hot through the blankets.

"It's actually quite interesting, better than a hotel." Huo Cheng says. Huo Cheng said, "Why don't we all stay here and sleep in the bunkhouse, on the fire, it's fun too."

"By the time this stop is almost over, we can really all sleep in one big bed." Di Xingchen said.

Writer Liu slapped his thigh when he saw this, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that!"

Eight guests sleep in one bed, with the lovers of the lovers lying in a row.

Who sleeps next to who and what they'll talk about, think carefully, don't get too excited!

They stayed in Room 3 for another 30 or 40 minutes, and Wen Nuo was already yawning.

Di Xingchen said, "It's getting late, let's go back too. It's going to be really tiring."

The three of them emerged from the house, their clothes still warm, and as soon as they stepped outside into the cold wind, they immediately shivered.

Di Xingchen turned back to Hu Ying and said, "You've taken off your down jacket, don't come out."

Hu Ying said "hmm" and sat on the bed watching them go out.

Di Xingchen turned his head and saw Pei Xu coming out too, so he said, "You don't have to send me off either, you send me off and I send you off, it will take forever."

Huo Cheng looked at Pei Xu with a smile and said, "With you gone, Hu Ying must be scared and screaming for help."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Hu Ying could be heard shouting from inside, "Huo Cheng, don't think I didn't hear you!"

Huo Cheng then burst out laughing, his laughter shaking the silent black night.

Wen Nuo puts his hat back on and grins heatedly.

It was a really nice moment, the atmosphere was so nice. There was no such thing as a love interest, they were just a group of young friends.

When they reached the junction Huo Cheng was about to head out, Huo Cheng turned his head to look at Di Xingchen and said, "Let's go."

In fact, he was very sad to see Di Xingchen go back to be alone with Yan Zhi, and his heart was frying like the fire under the bed.

It was a mixed bag of emotions, a bit of anxiety, a bit of sadness, a bit of aggravation, too many to describe.

Di Xingchen wore the thick hood of his down jacket, zipped up as high as it would go, covering his mouth and revealing only the upper half of his pale face: "See you tomorrow."

He tapped Wen Nuo on the shoulder again.

He wanted to give Wen Nuo a boost.

He actually thought Wen Nuo and Huo Cheng were quite suitable.

A sensitive, inferior, soft and sweet boy like Wen Nuo is not suitable for Yan Zhi and Pei Xu, but rather for Huo Cheng, who is not from a rich generation, but is bright, caring and a bit macho.

Just look at how well they both look together just standing there.

But he doesn't know what's on Wen Nuo's mind. Wen Nuo follows Huo Cheng to the hotel and is actually very sad.

If only he had lived with Di Xingchen. How wonderful it would have been.

Di Xingchen watches Huo Cheng and Wen Nuo walk away and looks back at Pei Xu: "Aren't you going back yet?"

"See you off." Pei Xu said.

Di Xingchen said, "I don't need to send it."

Pei Xu still insists: "Let's go."

Di Xingchen said, "Let's go and see Brother Duan then."

He had been thinking about Duan Yihua's condition and it would be good to have someone with him.

Pei Xu nods.

They both then headed towards room 2.

The snow was very thick here, especially on the paths, and it creaked when you stepped on it, it was all stale snow, not as soft as the fresh snow, and some of the surfaces were a bit slippery. Di Xingchen's feet suddenly stumbled and Pei Xu grabbed his arm in a panic, and when he was on his feet, he didn't let go, so he grabbed his arm and walked on.

He thinks Di Xingchen looks good in this white down jacket, and Di Xingchen looks good in white.

There was nothing to do with filming the statue, it was just the two of them at the moment and there was silence in all directions.

I don't know if this is true for all men, or if it is true for all men and women who fall in love, but on a quiet night road like this, walking with someone you like, your heart starts to beat slowly.

His body was out of control, like an eighteen-year-old high school boy, and immediately branched out at the slightest external or ideological stimulus.

It was exaggerated and active. It was obviously so cold outside.

His hands were red from the cold and he was gripping Di Xingchen even harder.

Pei Xu said, "I went shopping for hats before I came and saw one that looked especially good on you, so I bought it for you and will bring it back to you tomorrow."

Di Xingchen said, "What hat?"

"I'll know when I see you tomorrow." Pei Xu said.

Di Xingchen said, "I'm a bit embarrassed that you're all giving me things, I don't know what I can give you."

"You guys?" Pei Xu, very good at catching details, asked, "Who gave you anything else?"

Di Xingchen said, "I got this down jacket from Brother Huo."
