Chapter 9 (Fire)

Di Xingchen went down after receiving four text messages at once.

The four text messages were read over and over again. Luckily, none of them had the ambiguity of Touched Messages, and the last one was a little shady.

It reeked of acidity, as if it were jealous.

Is he jealous because he saw Pei Xu and Yan Zhi giving him shells?

The tone doesn’t sound like it was sent by Wen Nuo.

Duan Yihua and Lin Qingning do not feel like they would use this tone of voice either.

That only leaves Hu Ying.

Hu Ying has always been straightforward, saying whatever he wants to say, and this tone suits his character.

Luckily none of them were heartwarming texts, or he would have had a real headache.

He wants to be transparent, he doesn’t want to be the love interest of the three main men!

” Di Xingchen .”

The programme team suddenly called him.

He let out a “hmm” and looked up at the camera in front of his desk.

“It’s time for you to text too.” The programmer reminded.

Di Xingchen let out an “oh”.

He wasn’t distracted by the four text messages.

Anyway, none of this affects the bigger picture. He still knows himself, how can he, a poor student, possibly do more than the other three high rollers.

He sent a Touched Message as per the original plot.

Just as I finished posting, I suddenly heard a knock at the door from outside.

He emerged from the bedroom, crossed the small living room and opened the door to see Yan Zhi.

Yan Zhi looks gentle and handsome in his pyjamas, with his hair down and black-framed glasses.

“Are you asleep?”

“Not yet.”

“A little chat?”

“Yeah.”

Pei Xu is probably already asleep, and Di Xingchen is afraid of disturbing him: “Let’s talk in my bedroom.”

Yan Zhi nods.

They both had just reached the bedroom door when they saw the door next to them open.

Pei Xu stands in the doorway watching them.

“Still awake?” Yan Zhi offered a greeting.

Pei Xu gave a ‘hmm’ and looked over at them both.

“I’m looking for Xingchen for a chat.” Yan Zhi said.

Pei Xu closed the door behind his with another “hmm”.

Yan Zhi and Di Xingchen go into the adjacent bedroom.

“Pei Xu doesn’t seem to be in a good mood today,” Yan Zhi says. Yan Zhi said.

“No I guess. …… He’s like that, he likes a stinky face.”

Yan Zhi takes a look at Di Xingchen’s room.

“It’s a bit of a mess.” Di Xingchen gathered herself up, “Sit down.”

Yan Zhi sat down in his chair and saw the textbooks on the desk, “Reading?”

“No, I was just texting.” He asked Yan Zhi, “You’ve gotten a lot of texts today, haven’t you?”

Yan Zhi smiled, his face even more handsome in the golden lamp, his lips moist and his smile warm.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door again from outside.

Before Di Xingchen could sit down, he opened the bedroom door and looked out, then walked out.

This time it was Huo Cheng who returned.

“Are you asleep?” Huo Cheng asked.

“…… no.”

Huo Cheng then came in.

” Is Daxu asleep?” Huo Cheng asked.

“I don’t think so yet.” Di Xingchen asks, “You’re looking for him?”

Huo Cheng turned back: “No, I’m looking for you.”

Huo Cheng said and went into his bedroom.

As soon as you enter, you see Yan Zhi standing.

Huo Cheng froze for a moment, “You’re here too.”

Yan Zhi “hmmm”, shi pyjamas buttoned at the top: “Can’t sleep, come and play.”

“Me too.” Huo Cheng said.

The two men looked at each other, Huo Cheng smiled and surveyed Di Xingchen’s room, and a subtle aura permeated between them.

Di Xingchen had picked up two glasses of water in the living room and was about to bring them in when Pei Xu came out of the room with a glass of water.

He smiled at Pei Xu and said, “Huo Cheng and Yan Zhi are both here, so come and have a chat too.”

Four blue parties, just in time for a brothers’ night out!

Pei Xu said, “I want to sleep.”

The tone was less than friendly.

It’s better not to come, Di Xingchen thought, because he was so grumpy and had ruined the atmosphere in the past.

He then went into the room with two glasses of water.

Pei Xu looks back as he takes a drink of water. When the bedroom is opened, he vaguely sees Yan Zhi and Huo Cheng, and then the door is closed and no light comes through. He takes a drink from his glass of water and suddenly notices that the camera in the living room is turned towards him.

He finished his water, grabbed his jacket from the sofa and covered that camera.

“He’s covering too early too, it’s only the time.” The photographer spat.

“It can’t be helped, who asked their aunt to be the producer.”

” Sister Zhou would be furious if he saw it.”

“Pei Xu is lucky to be on the show, how dare Sister Zhou talk about him. He and Yan Zhi are the two Buddhas of our show and we are relying on them to get the ratings for the first day.”

“But this text message he sent to Di Xingchen is so wonderful.”

“Yeah right! I thought it was subtle too. What kind of texting is this, friendship without friendship, love without love, and something sour about it.”

“Whatever the text message is, it must be sent only if you have a crush, right? Whether you want to be friends with someone or a lover, it’s so shady at the beginning, like a primary school chicken.”

Their programme team is in a mess now.

Because the texting situation on the first day was considerably more than they all expected.

For the red side, Lin Qingning and Hu Ying both sent to Yan Zhi and Duan Yihua sent to Pei Xu. Wen Nuo sent to Di Xingchen.

All of this is to be expected of them.

But out of the four blue guests, three of the male guests sent it to Di Xingchen!

“I’ve said before that the red-blue distribution is inherently problematic, and that there’s no such thing as a clear division between homosexuals and heterosexuals.”

“But it’s been red and blue for the first three seasons. But don’t say that attributes don’t matter, look at Hu Ying, they have people who are willing to find good sisters.”

“I have a male best friend, and according to him, it’s less likely that the two receivers will be together, but more likely that the two receivers will be together. Don’t you guys think Di Xingchen can be an attacker or an attacker?”

“So are we going to change tactics?”

After all, their scripts have been setting up red and blue CPs all along now.

Everyone looks to director Guo Bing.

Guo Bing cupped his chin and frowned in thought: “Everyone’s text messages are restrained today, the situation is still unclear, let’s see another issue. We’ll see what happens in another issue. But we do have to be prepared just in case, so we’d better make two sets of plans.”

Writer Liu said, “Okay, let’s stay up late tonight and work on Di Xingchen!”

All the Love Variety has its own team of writers, and writer Liu, who is the leader of the group, gathered several other small writers together and they all had a meeting.

Di Xingchen came to their attention a week ago. As a pure vegetarian, they picked him for his striking face and student status, and didn’t know him nearly as well as the other guests.

” Di Xingchen , 20 years old, height 183, weight 125, sophomore at the Central Academy of Dance, studying classical dance, both parents are ordinary working class, excellent grades in school, 0 love history, pure vegetarian, according to himself, sexual orientation male, attribute 1 ”

Writer Liu looked at the group, “Earlier we set a red and blue CP line for him and each of the four male guests on the red side, now the task is to try to set three blue and blue CP lines for him and the other three male guests on the blue side.”

Writer Liu clapped his hands, “Let’s get to work!”

Writer Liu is excited.

He is a veteran of Red and Blue Signal, having done three seasons in a row. Before Red and Blue Signal, he had also done two romance shows, and was known as the number one writer for romance shows.

But after doing too much romance variety, BG’s and BL’s, he has lost his sense of novelty and always feels that there is something lacking in excitement somewhere.

But now he had a flash of light.

To set up the CP line, it was necessary to set up interactive sessions according to the personalities of the guests. The group started to focus on Di Xingchen’s profile and the more they picked at the results the more excited they became.

They picked up a video of Di Xingchen dancing from the official account of the Central Academy of Dance.

In a short span of six seconds, there are three videos of his dance, all of which are stunning, yet as graceful as a dragon, with strong rhythmic drum beats, thumping a few times, shaking the hearts of everyone in the crew.

Writer Liu and the others were abuzz.

“Go to their school and pull the video, now, immediately!”

Di Xingchen was called up early in the morning by the programme team.

He sat sleepily in his chair and looked across at the pile of people.

The director, Guo Bing, was also present.

Everyone looked at him in that spirit.

He yawned, “Single picking so early in the morning.”

“We’re all going out to sea today and we’re afraid we’ll be too tired to come back and pick it up now.”

The make-up artist came over to straighten him up a little, and Di Xingchen smiled, with a tired look on his face, but a smile that made everyone’s heart flutter.

He is now purely vegan and his hair is disheveled, looking more …… offensive and aggressive.

“We didn’t put together enough information about you before, so now we want to add to it. Just answer whatever we ask. ”

Di Xingchen rubbed his eyes for a moment and nodded with a little bubbly note: “Good.”

“Are you sure about your sexuality?”

Di Xingchen nods, “Sure. I’m not going to lie about that.”

“What kind of boyfriend are you looking for when you come to our show?”

He didn’t want to find it.

He came to get high on CP.

However, Di Xingchen answered honestly according to the plot: “I don’t really have a specific type, I just want him to be a generous and mature guy.”

You know, the Duan Yihua kind.

“There are no specific requirements, meaning it’s mostly about fate, right? If there’s someone you’re very much in touch with, very much in tune with, but not quite the same as your expected lover, you’re okay with that, right?”

Di Xingchen yawned again and nodded a little.

Whatever. He’s just a tool.

“We interviewed you earlier and you said you were doing okay in school dance?”

Di Xingchen nods.

He was OK.

He is well known at the Central Dance Academy and is ranked in the top three in his class.

But in fact, in terms of dance skills, he doesn’t rank at all in the talent-rich Central Dance Academy. The reason he is in the top three is, quite embarrassingly, half on his face and half on his sense of beauty.

Their teachers say he was born for it, with perfect proportions, long arms and legs, long and beautiful, and a sous-vide jumper, but it’s just a shame that his technique needs two years of hard work.

“But we’ve watched a few of your dance videos and found you to be a very good dancer.” Guo Bing was still a little excited.

Di Xingchen took it as a compliment: “Thank you. There are really too many gods at our school.”

“So what hobbies do you usually have? What do you like to do, is there anywhere you particularly want to go, what do you like to eat, what do you dislike to eat, what are your most annoying people like and what are your favourite people like ……”

Di Xingchen really didn’t expect this interview to be so specific, detailed and long.

He could barely hold his urine in at the end before the programme crew let him out.

He went straight to the bathroom.

When I pushed the door, I saw Pei Xu using the toilet.

He came in so suddenly that Pei Xu’s hands shook.

Di Xingchen quickly covers his eyes.

Pei Xu shakes his hand off a little, his face a little grim.

“I’m sorry.”

“So panicky.”

“I couldn’t hold it in.” Di Xingchen says, “I was called away early in the morning by the crew to do an interview.”

When Pei Xu turned around, he immediately went over to his and, without waiting for the water to wash down, pulled open his pajama trousers.

Pei Xu goes to wash his hands and looks at him through the mirror.

The toilet is diagonally opposite the mirror, which is a good angle to see.

Pei Xu’s eyes droop slightly and he rubs his hands with hand sanitizer. Di Xingchen is probably really holding it in, engorged with blood and peeing extra slowly.

“Don’t take the show too seriously, we’re all in partnership.” Pei Xu wipes his hands as he says, “Holding back like this for an interview.”

Di Xingchen smiled, his ears a little red: “Next time I’ll pay attention.”

“You’re too good too.”

Pei Xu’s mind was suddenly struck by a strange emotion, as if he was particularly hot and bothered early in the morning, thinking that Di Xingchen did not hide from him in front of him, so he did not treat him as a special object.

It really got him fired up.
