Chapter 68 - The Awakening

It snowed heavily overnight until early the next morning.

A night has passed, some are still dreaming, others have been completely transformed.

Huo Cheng was up early on Wednesday morning.

It was just dawn when Hu Ying was woken up by the sound of him washing up, opening his eyes and fingering his phone to check the time, he wailed, "Huo Cheng, do you have to get up so early?"

Huo Cheng wiped his face and came out of the bathroom, saying, "You have so many skincare products, can I use some of your cream?"

Hu Ying was lying on the bed, looking at Huo Cheng with his eyes open, his face still damp, the collar of his pyjamas open, his pectoral muscles showing, he looked very strong and vigorous.

"What kind of skincare products does a brown man use, and didn't he say that about my mother yesterday."

Huo Cheng smiled and said, "It's windy here in the north, and my skin feels a bit dry."

Wen Nuo sat up and said, "You can use mine."

"You can all use mine, I've brought a bunch of skincare products, I'm running out." Hu Ying said, "You can use the cleanser first, then the water and essence afterwards, then the cream."

"You're exquisite." Huo Cheng said.

Hu Ying sat up with a jerk: "You're just a straight male, it's not like there's any difference between men and women in skincare these days! It's the right of every boy and girl to pursue beauty!"

"It's too much trouble, I'll just put on a cream." Huo Cheng dabbed some cream and said, "The cream you use must be very expensive, so I'll put more on."

"Caviar Extract Joan of Guise Cream, a few thousand dollars."

Wen Nuo was wide-eyed and said, "Is it more expensive than Aquamarine?"

He has limited knowledge, when it comes to expensive skincare products, he knows what fairy water, small brown bottle and so on, he still knows about Aquamarine from Jin Qian, she had her birthday this year, said she bit the bullet and bought herself a bottle, two or three thousand.

Hu Ying started to tell Wen Nuo about Leporene, what the princess used and what it could do. Huo Cheng took a couple of shots, changed his clothes in the bathroom and came out, put on his down jacket and said, "I'm leaving now."

"Xingchen may not even be able to get out of bed." Hu Ying said.

"I'll stroll around first." Huo Cheng smiles as he puts on his Lei Feng hat.

He looks very much like a northeasterner, and with his thick down jacket and Lei Feng hat, he looks just like the locals.

Hu Ying saw that Wen Nuo had gotten up, so he fell down again and picked up his mobile phone and played a song. As he was playing the song, Huo Cheng came back: "Damn, come out and take a look, the snow is so thick that the hotel door can't be pushed."

Hu Ying got up immediately at the sound of his voice.

It's kinda exciting.

After all, it was rare to visit such a cold place in a lifetime, and he had only seen it before on short videos about places in the Northeast where doors were blocked when you went overnight.

The snow outside was not as bad as Huo Cheng had said, but it was almost as thick as his calf at the door.

"What a lot of snow."

As a South City resident, it was really rare for him to see that much snow, and he gave his phone to Huo Cheng: "Come and take a picture of me in the snow, I want to tweet it."

Huo Cheng picked up his phone and Hu Ying, unwashed, completely vegan, hair in a mess like a chicken nest, wearing a particularly baggy bakery suit, gave the camera a loving gesture: "Shall we begin?"

"It's on."

Hu Ying then opened his arms and jumped back.

"With a poof, he fell into the thick snow and was lost in a flash.

Huo Cheng was shocked and rushed to pick him out. Hu Ying crawled a few times but couldn't get out and when he got out, the snow had eaten two mouthfuls, he pooh-poohed it and hurriedly took off his down jacket and shook the snow into the lining.

The hotel owner said it wasn't even a heavy snowfall, their highest recorded snowfall here was for days on end and the whole door was blocked.

All of them had never seen that much snow before.

The crew was out early in the morning, following the scenic staff to shovel snow.

Di Xingchen woke up with a noise outside and saw Yan Zhi come in with his hands in his face, saying, "The snow is almost up to our knees at our door. Don't get up, they probably won't come for breakfast in the morning, so you can sleep again. I've already made the porridge."

Di Xingchen looked at the time and glanced out of the window to see that it was all glued up with snow.

It was the first time he had ever seen such a sight.

He crawled up on one roll.

Yan Zhi smiled and said, "I knew you'd get up. Then wear something thicker, it's really cold outside."

"Has the snow stopped?"

"Stop."

Di Xingchen climbed up, "Where's my jumper?" He said and lifted up the blanket. Yan Zhi said, "I almost forgot, wait a minute."

Yan Zhi rushed out and came back into the bedroom shortly afterwards, carrying his jumper and trousers.

Di Xingchen didn't get it.

Yan Zhi said, "When I got up, I noticed that it was very cold in the room today, so I put it on the fire next door for you because I was afraid you would get cold."

This inn is also heated by fire, only unlike the fire bed in room three and the fire wall in room two, they have this inn, to ensure that the guests sleep more comfortably, without getting too hot or dry, so with five rooms and a soup spring pool, only three are occupied, the other two rooms are dedicated to fire for heating, and they have a fire bed next door, immediately connected to the fire wall on the other side.

Di Xingchen's clothes are warm and comfortable when you touch them.

Wow, that's so sweet.

"Thanks." He was pleasantly surprised.

Yan Zhi smiled and said, "Put it on quickly, it will get cold again."

Di Xingchen hurriedly got out from under the covers, took off his pajamas and put on his fall trousers or something, he noticed Yan Zhi kept looking at him, so he looked up, Yan Zhi smiled and said, "Hair like a chicken nest."

Di Xingchen felt that Yan Zhi seemed a little different today.

Is it because he doesn't wear glasses?

It looks much brighter and sharper in the eyebrows.

It feels like a different person.

He used to look gentle and gentlemanly with his gold-rimmed glasses, but now without them he looks like a tiger out of its cage, and his whole being is a little more aggressive.

"You're not wearing your glasses?" He asked as he put on his shoes.

"Wearing invisibility." Yan Zhi said, "Is it okay?"

Di Xingchen smiles and nods, "Very handsome."

Yan Zhi just smiled.

Di Xingchen laces up his shoes and looks up at Yan Zhi again.

It seems that Yan Zhi has changed overnight.

It was so cold that he put on the fleece hat that Pei Xu had given him. The path outside Room 1 had been cleared by the programme team, so Di Xingchen and Yan Zhi followed them to clear the path outside Room 2.

A heavy snowfall drowned out Lin Qingning's embarrassment and embarrassment. Wearing thick gloves and a hat, he looked pantingly at Di Xingchen and the others who had come to shovel snow in the distance and said with a smile, "It's so snowy."

Duan Yihua also gasped as he straightened up and said, "I can't, my back is failing me with age."

As they gradually merged together, Lin Qingning's eyes widened and he said, "I was just about to say who is this guy next to Xingchen, he looks like Yan Zhi, but he's not wearing glasses, so I thought he was a member of the programme staff, and I was about to say how can the programme team have such a handsome staff member!"

Duan Yihua sniffed and looked at the person beside Di Xingchen: "It's Yan Zhi ah."

He didn't recognise it either.

They both stared at Yan Zhi for a while and said, " Yan Zhi looks completely different with and without his glasses."

Yan Zhi smiled, took Di Xingchen's gloves out of his pocket and handed them to him.

"More handsome." Lin Qingning comments.

The warmth is much less and the features are more defined and superior.

After clearing a path through the snow outside Room 2, they took their shovels and went together to Room 3 to see Pei Xu.

The two snowmen Pei Xu built at the junction yesterday are both half covered. Pei Xu is clearing the snow from the yard path by himself, his nose red from the cold.

" Brother Pei ."

He heard Di Xingchen call him and looked up to see Di Xingchen wearing the ink blue hat he had given him and his thick black down jacket.

Pei Xu then smiled, stood up and waved to everyone.

Di Xingchen said, "Brother Pei, your fire is getting worse."

The redness of the mouth is more pronounced.

"Didn't sleep well." Pei Xu said.

"I'll make you an egg tea later, to take the heat off ." Di Xingchen said.

Pei Xu looks at Di Xingchen with a smile and a light in his eyes.

Is it because of the snow light?

Why did he feel like everyone's eyes were extra bright today, they all seemed different from last night!!!

Well, he must have been looking at the snow for too long to get that feeling.
