Chapter 96 - Jealousy and change

Pei Xu is so silent, everyone feels even more frightened by him.

A dog that bites doesn't bark, and men who do great things are always muffled.

He is so silent that no one can guess what is going on inside him. Nor do they know what he will do this evening.

They look at Di Xingchen, who is so young and innocent, he is still a blank sheet of paper, he is no match for Bui the Heart.

At the door of room one, Lin Qingning tapped Hu Ying on the shoulder, "Don't look away."

Hu Ying returned with Lin Qingning, undressed in disgust, and sat down on a chair with a sigh.

"Do you wash up?" Lin Qingning asked.

Hu Ying said, "No, I might have to go out later."

Lin Qingning then went to wash up.

Hu Ying slumped back in his chair and pondered for a moment, taking the hat off his head, his hair flattened by it. He scratched his hair with his hands and opened his phone to watch the video he had taken at the ski resort today.

The more you look at it, the more alarmed you become.

He found out that Pei Xu had watched Di Xingchen no less than three times in that short, one-minute video.

Di Xingchen and the six of them came to the junction of Room 2 and Huo Cheng and Duan Yihua stopped and said, "I'll see you tomorrow then."

"I'll see you tomorrow."

Huo Cheng looked at Di Xingchen, then at Pei Xu, and suddenly asked Yan Zhi, "By the way, do you sleep with the camera covered?"

He felt he was quite clever in not asking Pei Xu and Di Xingchen, but Yan Zhi and the others, which seemed less obvious.

Yan Zhi said, "No cover."

He sleeps with Wen Nuo, how can he cover the camera.

Wen Nuo, who has always kept a low profile, suddenly spoke up at this point: "I never cover up the camera, and Director Guo also said before that he would try not to."

Huo Cheng says: "We don't cover up either, it feels weird when you're sharing a room."

When he finished, he glanced towards Di Xingchen and Pei Xu.

Di Xingchen says: "Doesn't everyone cover up?"

"There's no need to cover up," says Huo Cheng, "two people live here and it's so cold, who's going to be naked on camera?"

"Then we don't cover up either." Di Xingchen said.

In keeping with his low-key style, Pei Xu did not speak.

Huo Cheng is satisfied.

With a camera, it's like having a third eye.

Huo Cheng and Duan Yihua walked together towards room two and were almost at the lake when Huo Cheng looked back at the backs of the four of them. He did not go straight in, but stood by the lake and smoked a cigarette.

The wind at the lake was cold, he was a man who did not like to wear a hat and his hair was short, and the cold wind hurt his brain.

As they walked to Room 3, Yan Zhi and Wen Nuo saw the two snowmen at the junction again.

Just yesterday, when they saw the pair, they were just two snowmen.

Lovely.

But when I look again today, they are not just two snowmen.

Two snowmen also holding hands.

Heh.

Yan Zhi is a calm man on the outside, but he is more extreme on the inside than anyone else. Wen Nuo, on the other hand, would look back after walking away.

Pei Xu's tense emotions have finally loosened.

As the son of Pei Huanong, he has been in the limelight since he was a child and has developed a knack for indifference. He doesn't care what people do to him, whether Huo Cheng and the others are trying to squeeze him or attack him, he understands and doesn't care, but the main reason why he is so emotionally tense is because of Di Xingchen.

Just because he doesn't care doesn't mean Di Xingchen doesn't care either.

Di Xingchen went to the toilet first. He opened the door to his room and entered. The room was so cold and gloomy that he put his bag down and immediately started a fire.

When Di Xingchen returned from the toilet, he saw Pei Xu already lighting the fire.

"I'll do it." Di Xingchen said.

Pei Xu looks back at him with a smile.

Di Xingchen feels that the Pei Xu outside and the Pei Xu in this room are two different people. The Pei Xu outside is so cool and silent, but the Pei Xu here has such a bright smile and a resolute gentleness.

It's really easy to be impressed by this sense of difference; it creates a sense of privacy. It's as if it's constantly lobbying you to say, look, we're both different.

He crouched down next to Pei Xu and put the firewood on the burning oil paper. Pei Xu took another piece of firewood and picked at the paper, and Di Xingchen saw the bruises on the back of his hand.

He then took the dry firewood from Pei Xu's hand and said, "Go ahead and wash up, and apply some medicine afterwards."

Pei Xu looked at the back of his hand, the firelight reflecting on his reddened hand, and said, "Instead, I feel much more comfortable after bleeding."

With that he leaned the back of his hand up and roasted it over the fire.

The two of them suddenly fell into an ambiguous and awkward silence, Di Xingchen pursing his lips and concentrating on the lump of coal he had put on the table.

"Don't you be afraid." Pei Xu said suddenly.

Di Xingchen didn't look at him either, just chucked in a lump of coal and said, "What am I afraid of?"

"Me."

"I'm not afraid of you."

Pei Xu didn't say anything.

Pei Xu's long, slender fingers were already hot, itching and aching, and he clenched his fists and turned his head to look at Di Xingchen.

"Yo yo yo yo yo."

"The atmosphere has certainly changed, picking a fight is just not the same!"

In the set, everyone is staring at the monitor in Room 3.

"Before it was a bit of a pretence, but now that it's all picked up, the atmosphere has definitely changed. Now it's a male-male relationship with the possibility of becoming a couple!"

" Pei Xu is a two-faced man, he was so tetchy when he discussed the date with us in the car on the way back."

On hearing this, Guo Bing remembered Pei Xu in the car.

He was wrapped in a down jacket, handsome in appearance and cold in manner: "I want a car."

" Give me a handheld selfie and I'll take it myself, without the crew following."

After they had all agreed, Pei Xu started to check with them one by one about the road conditions from where to where, how long it would take, what problems the car was prone to and what solutions were available, etc. He was very sultry in his bass voice, but not very emotional, and it felt like he was working with them.

"Director, do you really know where Pei Xu is going tomorrow and what he's going to do."

Guo Bing said, "I asked and he said he hadn't thought about it yet and would have to think about it tonight. I'll just have to come back and watch the video."

"After today's PK match, Xingchen's CP fans have increased by leaps and bounds and they're still hanging out in the hotspots. I hope their date this time is explosive enough, and they'll have another famous scene like Full of Stars Magic!"

"I don't think Pei Xu is necessarily going to go for the explosive route on this date." Says writer Liu, "He seems to be a very private person, especially when it comes to relationships."

As soon as she said this, she saw Pei Xu glancing towards the camera.

"It's over, it's over, it's over, he's covering up again!"

No sooner had the staff shouted than they saw Pei Xu grabbing a jacket and walking towards the camera.

When Di Xingchen saw Pei Xu covering the camera, he said, "Didn't we say everyone doesn't cover up?"

Pei Xu says: "I'm not really used to being patted to sleep."

He said looking over at Di Xingchen and gave a laugh, "And you say you're not afraid."

Di Xingchen's face was red from the fire, and Pei Xu said, "I didn't cover up when I slept in Nancheng before, you've not seen it."

Di Xingchen then asked, "When you lived with Hu Ying, did you cover up too?"

Di Xingchen regretted asking it afterwards and felt he had asked a very dangerous question.

Pei Xu replied, "No."

Di Xingchen didn't ask further.

Pei Xu, however, added, "Not the same."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh." The staff screamed.

"Not the same, tsk, tsk, tsk."

"Anyway, now that we've picked it out, we can just say it, can't we!"

" Di Xingchen is silent, he's been teased!"

"I feel like Pei Xu got it wrong eh." A staff member said, "There is no picture just sound, when the time comes we put the blacked out picture up and the subtitles are done, it feels more ambiguous eh ......"

"Just do it!" Guo Bing said.

" Hu Ying what is this going to be?" The staff member next to his asked.

Everyone turns their heads and sees Hu Ying on the monitor in Room 1, carrying a bottle of wine and a plastic bag out of Room 1.

It was cold outside, so Hu Ying put his hat back on and headed straight for Room 2.

He feels that now their rivals should be united as a team to fight against Pei Xu.

Before he reached Room 2, he saw Huo Cheng, who was standing alone by the lake, smoking and pacing back and forth.

" Brother Huo!" He shouted.

Huo Cheng immediately turned at the sound of his voice and looked over, "Why did you run out?"

Hu Ying said, "It's only late, how can you sleep so early? I've brought a bottle of wine and some snacks, let's go to Room 3 and have a look?"

Huo Cheng twisted out the cigarette in his hand, took the wine in his hand and looked at it, saying, "Does it fit?"

"I'm going alone, three is more awkward than two, we'll go together, there'll be more people and it won't be awkward. Don't you want to spend less time alone with the two of them?"

The offer was tempting.

Hu Ying added, "You don't even think about why he was able to live with Xingchen before, because we pushed him there. It makes me angry to think about it."

Huo Cheng took the bottle of wine and said, "Forget it, it's useless to go there, you'll be upset, come and drink with us, call Qingning, I think he's in a bad mood today."

Seeing Hu Ying's reluctant look, he tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go."

Hu Ying had to follow Huo Cheng to room two: "Brother Huo, let's join forces. I have a feeling Pei Xu and Yan Zhi are both formidable opponents."

Huo Cheng said, "You're going to join forces with me again, you're the one who disliked me the most before, and as a result, the snipe and the clam have won."

Hu Ying sighed, "They're both so deceptive, especially Pei Xu! Brother Huo, let's go to room three, Pei Xu will be furious when he sees us coming."

Huo Cheng says: "It was fine before, but now I can't do that."

"Why?" Hu Ying looked at Huo Cheng.

Huo Cheng says: "When Xingchen didn't know, we were fighting in the open, but now it's out in the open, in front of Xingchen, so it's no longer a good idea."

Hu Ying froze for a moment, "Why?"

Huo Cheng looks at Hu Ying's beautiful and animated face.

He could be sure now that the man just had a witty face. It was possible to PASS him out of the love rivalry.

When Pei Xu returned from the toilet, he saw Di Xingchen already sitting under the covers.

He turned back to put the bolt on the door and put his shoes away again, before sitting down on the bed.

To be honest, it was the same scene, but he was in a more emotional mood than last night.

Last night he was only secretly in love, at the moment he is explicitly in love. It made his whole being more nervous and more excited.

"Is there anywhere in particular you'd like to go when you go out tomorrow?" he asked Di Xingchen. He asked Di Xingchen.

Di Xingchen shook his head.

"Then tomorrow I'll make the arrangements, and you can just follow me." Pei Xu said.

Di Xingchen gave a "hmm".

Di Xingchen thought, "It feels really different.

His heart was all beating a little faster than last night, when he was mostly nervous and embarrassed, but not tonight.

A feeling that cannot be described.

Di Xingchen laid down straight away and Pei Xu took off his trousers and suddenly said, "I forgot my T-shirt and autumn coat when I went to the ski resort today, so I didn't wear anything under my jumper."

Di Xingchen: "Hmm?"

"Just so you know, I'm taking my jumper off and putting on a T-shirt." Pei Xu said.

Di Xingchen let out an "oh".

Pei Xu reaches out and pulls the light out. Di Xingchen looks into the darkness towards Pei Xu, who has taken off his jumper to reveal his muscular shoulders and back, and is naked and wearing a T-shirt.

He suddenly thought of the time in South City when the two of them lived together, when they really didn't avoid suspicion at all, they were totally like buddies, not to mention changing their tops, or being seen naked, and they didn't think anything of it.

But not anymore. You have to pull the light and change in the dark to change a T-shirt.

Instead, it fired up the atmosphere.

Di Xingchen smells warm, a mixture of hormones and mint.

Suddenly he remembered what the team doctor had said.

"Are you ......"

Pei Xu turned his head to look at him, "Hmm?"

"Have you not yet taken the fire-releasing ...... medicine to remove the fire." Di Xingchen reminded.

Pei Xu paused for a moment, slowly lay down and said, "No more, it's useless to eat."

"It's not normal that I'm not on fire." Pei Xu adds.

Di Xingchen intends to keep his mouth shut.

What are you doing, jjwxc male lead!

Pei Xu suddenly rolled over to face him and said in a lowered voice, "I really need to go to bed early today or I won't have any energy tomorrow, I haven't had a good night's sleep since I got here."

Di Xingchen purses his lips and puts one hand out to rest on his forehead.

After lying down for about half an hour, Pei Xu suddenly got up, turned on the light and took the pills that were on the table.
