"A lottery?" Hu Ying's eyes widened.

He's going to play the violin! He plays the violin very well, and he wants to wow the crowd!

"Yes, the draw, we've broken up all eight guests' programmes, and everyone draws lots as they go along, and whatever they draw, they perform."

"Director, you've been a bit uninspired lately, and you're still drawing lots." Hu Ying spits.

"So what if I draw an instrument?" Huo Cheng said. "I don't know how to play an instrument at all."

Wen Nuo was busy saying, "Neither will I."

He doesn't know how to play an instrument, nor does he know how to dance.

Singing doesn't work either, he gets nervous too easily.

Magic he knows even less.

He knew martial arts, the only thing he was good at!

"We don't necessarily draw instruments, we draw them first and then we tune them afterwards, we have a lot of guests who can play instruments." Guo Bing said.

"Then smoke it." Di Xingchen says, "The arm can't be twisted anyway."

"Everyone should learn from Xingchen," says Guo Bing. "People have to trust us, it's better to do it this way, we've done audience research. It's a good show, it's good for everyone, and the audience knows you're drawing straws, so no one will say anything good or bad, it's just more fun."

"I wanted to see what shows people were reporting." Hu Ying said.

Guo Bing then showed them.

The most expected piece was Di Xingchen's dance 'Spring in the North', Hu Ying's violin piece 'Fire' was very hot, Duan Yihua's accordion song was called 'Twilight', although I don't know what style of song it was and it sounded rather cold, the accordion somehow fitted Duan Yihua's style. Yan Zhi is a guitar piece called 'Ocean', which sounds like freedom and birds, while Lin Qingning has prepared a piano piece called 'Love Song' and Pei Xu has prepared a piano piece called 'By Lake Baikal'.

What Huo Cheng has prepared is a magic trick.

As Guo Bing said, everyone was prepared as expected and there were no surprises.

The biggest surprise was Wen Nuo, who prepared a martial arts performance.

On the whole, the richer generation really does know how to play instruments.

"Which one of you will go first?" Guo Bing asked, clutching the cardboard box.

" Qingning is not there." Di Xingchen said.

"Everyone draws first, and the last one left is his." Guo Bing said. Duan Yihua came out first: "I'll go first."

He smiled, reached inside the cardboard box, fumbled with it for a while and finally pinched a note out, removing it, and the corners of his lips grinned.

Guo Bing came up to take a look, "Show the camera."

Duan Yihua showed it to the camera and Hu Ying laughed when he saw it and said, "Is it really possible to do that? Brother Duan, do you know how to play the guitar?"

Duan Yihua was drawn for Yan Zhi's 'The Journey'.

Yan Zhi laughed and clapped a little.

Duan Yihua smiles and says, "I've never heard of Oceanic, but I'd love to try it."

Versailles speaks!

Why, because it means Duan Yihua doesn't just play the accordion, he plays the guitar!

Di Xingchen couldn't help but say, "This looks good, these two tracks should be in two completely different styles."

Yan Zhi glanced at him at that and said, "Not a style indeed."

"Next, the second one." Guo Bing said.

Yan Zhi then walked out and drew a note.

He drew Huo Cheng's magic trick.

Yan Zhi smiled and said, "It's okay."

Di Xingchen then stepped forward and also drew one.

He let out a breath, opened the note and smiled.

"What?" Hu Ying asked hastily.

Di Xingchen shows the camera, "Martial arts."

Wen Nuo, disappointed and delighted, clapped his hands and whispered, " Xingchen dances, and surely martial arts is no problem."

He finished then stepped forward and drew a slip of paper.

When he opened it, Wen Nuo was dumbfounded: "I have won a piano piece by Brother Lin."

Huo Cheng looked at what everyone had already drawn and now there was only one piano, one violin, one dance, and one accordion left.

None of which he played with.

That's when the difference between a poor kid like him and this group of rich kids became apparent.

They all seem to have a musical instrument, a skill they had to learn as children.

He simply drew one, and when he opened it, it was a piano piece by Pei Xu.

"Let Brother Pei draw the dance." Hu Ying prayed from the sidelines.

He was the coolest of the guests, and he was the most interesting to watch dancing.

In the end the draw was as good as it could have been.

Pei Xu actually won the dance.

Di Xingchen smiles and claps his hands.

Pei Xu dances, the image is unimaginable.

Hu Ying gets excited.

For only his violin and Duan Yihua's accordion remain.

Fifty percent chance! "I've been unlucky with the lottery so many times, I've lived in a crappy house, it's time to give me some luck." He said and said a prayer, the variety effect pulled to full.

Then he pursed his lips and stuck his hand into the cardboard box and felt around for a long time.

Picked up and put down.

Huo Cheng said, "It feels like you've touched two notes for two hundred."

Hu Ying's heart is beating faster.

He can't wait to show off his talent.

He finally picked one of the notes and took it out and slipped it to Di Xingchen: "You can read it for me."

Di Xingchen smiled and helped him remove it, raising an eyebrow.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Hu Ying herself couldn't help herself and leaned over to take a look, then jumped up: "YES!!!"

Hu Ying was the luckiest person in the room when he drew his own, violin.

"I'm looking forward to Hu Ying's violin." Di Xingchen said.

It's not so much the violin as an instrument as it is Hu Ying's choice of 'Fire' that will set you alight.

"That leaves the accordion at the end, and 'Twilight Stand' is Lin Qingning's." Guo Bing says.

"Learning songs for a day might be okay, not piano, I guess." Huo Cheng opens.

Wen Nuo immediately said, "Yeah, I really don't know how to play the piano at all."

"I'll switch with Wen Nuo." Di Xingchen volunteered, "I think he should just perform martial arts, the contrast is quite big."

Hu Ying and Duan Yihua both agreed, saying, "I also think Wen Nuo should perform martial arts and I want to see it."

"Piano, can you do it?" Wen Nuo asks.

Di Xingchen says, "I can do a bit."

On hearing this, Duan Yihua and Hu Ying gave Di Xingchen an extra glance.

Does he actually play the piano?

Star, what other surprises do you have that I don't know about!

Huo Cheng immediately said, "I want to change too."

" Does Brother Huo want to perform your magic tricks?" Yan Zhi suddenly spoke.

Huo Cheng looked at Yan Zhi for a moment.

"Do you play the piano?" Huo Cheng asks.

Yan Zhi said, "A little."

Huo Cheng felt like he was learning this from Di Xingchen.

He looked at Yan Zhi for a moment and imagined Yan Zhi playing the piano in this ascetic outfit.

No, it's too glamorous.

"I wanted to switch with Pei Xu, which is what I drew." Huo Cheng said. Huo Cheng says, "And I'd quite like to try dancing."

Huo Cheng has his own agenda.

On the one hand, if he had to choose between Pei Xu and Yan Zhi, he would definitely choose Pei Xu, without even thinking about it.

As for his magic, it wasn't very good in the first place, and it was fine to perform or not.

So he said to Pei Xu, "Castor, how about we switch too. You play the piano and I'll dance."

"I'm fine with that." Pei Xu says.

Guo Bing then asked, "Is the accordion okay?"

Pei Xu says: "A little."

If you can do a little, you can do a lot.

Duan Yihua gave a "wow" and said, "Not many people know how to do that."

"Where's the violin?" Hu Ying poked fun.

Pei Xu says: "I'm not very good at violin."

Not so much, that is, a little.

Everyone was looking at each other with envy and hatred.

Guo Bing said, "That's good, if Lin Qingning can't play the accordion, he can tune in with you."

Pei Xu said, "OK."

When people look at Pei Xu, they feel that his whole body is glowing.

Di Xingchen feels like it all fits the persona too well.

The jjwxc male lead definitely beats Longma and Qidian in terms of talent alone, and almost every romance-related skill the jjwxc male lead has.

One word, Sue!

In the end everyone finalised their performances for tomorrow night.

Di Xingchen and Pei Xu are the piano pieces.

Wen Nuo is a martial art.

Yan Zhi is magic.

Lin Qingning is an accordion and Duan Yihua is a guitar piece.

Huo Cheng is the dance.

Hu Ying is a violinist.

Hu Ying's violin, Wen Nuo's martial arts, and Duan Yihua's guitar are the most promising, with Hu Ying's strong character and Wen Nuo and Duan Yihua's strong contrasts.

The second is Huo Cheng's dancing. He is a tall and cheerful man, and his dancing is sure to be a great variety show.

As for the others, it's moderate.

"Actually, I think Yan Zhi's magic is a bit of a talent. Huo Cheng felt that of all his talents, his magic tricks looked the least impressive and he was a little embarrassed: "Let's let Yan Zhi choose another one."

To my surprise, Yan Zhi said, "It's fine to do magic, you don't need to change it."

The big boys don't even rely on these for eye-candy.

"So it's happily decided ah. Everyone rest early today and help each other out tomorrow. We'll perform in the evening and we'll split the house after the show."

"The pace is flying." Hu Ying says.

"It's all about the rollercoaster ride," Guo Bing says with a smile. Guo Bing says with a smile.

"How are we going to divide the house this time?"

"I can't talk about it yet, for fear of stressing you out, so I'll tell you tomorrow."

"I hope it's creative and doesn't make us draw straws again." Hu Ying said.

"It's definitely not a lottery." Guo Bing said, "It'll make you scream."

"Director you have to stop talking about it, it's keeping us awake at night." Huo Cheng laughs.

Everyone was ready to go back to their own rest.

"Is your room three going to hold up tonight?" Huo Cheng asked Hu Ying. Huo Cheng asked Hu Ying, "Do you want to spend the night in our house? Take your pick, you can go anywhere you want."

"Really?" Hu Ying asked, "Then I'll come to your place."

Huo Cheng thought Hu Ying would choose Room 1, but he didn't expect him to go to their place.

"Sure, we have a double bed, you and me or Wen Nuo can share a bed."

Hu Ying then said, "I'm really going."

"I'm serious too." Huo Cheng said and looked at Wen Nuo, " Wen Nuo is okay with this, right?"

Wen Nuo smiled and said, "No, I welcome it warmly."

He also wanted to have more people, it was more lively, otherwise he would have been embarrassed to be alone with Huo Cheng.

Huo Cheng then looked at Pei Xu: "What about you? Why don't you come along too?"

"I'm just not going to go." Pei Xu said.

"I'll have to ask the programme team to see if they're willing." Hu Ying said, looking at director Guo Bing. Hu Ying said, looking at director Guo Bing.

"Today's special circumstances, the director will agree, I think." Huo Cheng says.

Guo Bing said as he walked away, "Agreed, agreed, whatever you want today."

After chatting for a while in Room 1, they went back to their respective rooms. Huo Cheng and Wen Nuo went to Room 3 first. When they arrived at the intersection, Wen Nuo was surprised to see the snowmen that Pei Xu had built and asked, "Who built those snowmen?

" Pei Xu heaps of them." Huo Cheng says with a smile, "We Pei Xu children never die."

Hu Ying said, "It's a pity they don't have eyes and noses, they are not delicate. Tomorrow I'll come over and do it and dress them up."

Hu Ying, holding his blanket and packing his toiletries into his bag, asked Pei Xu, "Are you sure you don't want to go, then you'll be alone today?"

Pei Xu said, "You can sleep well today."

He sent Hu Ying and the others out and then sat down alone in the silence of the dilapidated house.

He turned his phone on and played a song by Liu Shuang.

The song he played was aptly titled 'Desert Dance Hall'.

[If you have time, you'll come and see me, won't you?]

At this time of year, no one should be visiting him.

As a result, he heard someone tapping on his door.

Then he heard Di Xingchen shout, "Brother Pei, are you asleep?"

Pei Xu immediately got up and went to open the door.

Di Xingchen came in through the snowflakes, closed the door and said, "Why didn't you turn on the light? I thought you had left with Brother Huo and the others."

Pei Xu turned the light on and busied herself with patting the snowflakes on Di Xingchen's body, saying, "What are you doing here? It's so cold."

"I'm afraid Brother Huo, they forgot to make a fire for you." He said glancing at the fire bed, "Look, it's not there, I'm on."

Pei Xu said, "I was planning to build a fire."

Di Xingchen crouched down towards the bed

Di Xingchen helped Pei Xu build a fire, and while he was doing so, Di Xingchen noticed that Pei Xu's hands were red and flushed.

His hands are large and broad-boned, with long, slender fingers and jagged, well-defined joints that are now frozen red.

"Why are you freezing like this?" Di Xingchen asked in astonishment.

"I froze while building a snowman, I didn't care at first."

"Does it hurt?" Di Xingchen asked.

Pei Xu saw the worried look on his face and was very flattered, saying, "Ouch."

At that moment, they suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside, followed by Huo Cheng pushing in the door.

"Look at my brain, I forgot to make a fire for you." Brother Huo smiled through the wind and snow and said, "Eh, Xingchen is here." .

"I just came to see if you have a fire." Di Xingchen laughs.

"I remembered when I was halfway there, so I rushed back." Huo Cheng said, squatting down, "I'll do it, I'll do it, let's make a fire or Brother Huo (Huo)!"

Pei Xu and Di Xingchen both laughed. Pei Xu reaches out and gives Huo Cheng a pat on the snowflakes on his hat.

Huo Cheng soon had the wood fire alight. Huo Cheng said over the fire, "You shouldn't have stayed here, it would have been better if you had stayed at my place, we would have shared a bed."

"Do you think he's the kind of person who would share a bed with someone." Di Xingchen spat.

"It's possible to squeeze, but I don't think it's necessary, just stay up for a day."

"You don't talk too soon, and watch out next time you're still staying here."

Pei Xu just smiled and said, "That's fate, resign yourself to it."

Once the fire inside had stabilised, Huo Cheng covered it with tin, clapped his hands together and said, "That's it."

"Thanks." Pei Xu said.

"You're welcome, we're leaving ah, alone." Huo Cheng said.

When he and Di Xingchen went out together, Huo Cheng stopped to look at the two snowmen and said to Di Xingchen, "You say Pei Xu is so withdrawn and aloof, yet he has built two snowmen."

It shows that he is thirsty for love too.

Di Xingchen said, "Tomorrow I'll bring a carrot, put a nose on it and get two eyes, and it'll be perfect."

They were about to part here when Huo Cheng said, "Come on, Mr. Zhai, the students are counting on you tomorrow."

Di Xingchen smiled and waved his hand, "Good night."

"Good night." Huo Cheng, both hands in his pockets, scowling, takes two steps into the north wind, walks away, looks back again as snowflakes fall, Huo Cheng turns around and walks back, walking and running.

He's had a very happy day. He got to say goodnight to Di Xingchen alone before he went to bed, and he gets to learn to dance with him tomorrow.

His happiness was as grand as this snowy sky.

Room 3 was warmed up quickly. Pei Xu has not had a shower for two days because of the poor conditions, the lack of a bathroom and the fact that he is living with Hu Ying. Last night, he was sweating in the middle of the night, but thanks to his thick clothes, he could not smell any sweat. As he was alone and the room was warming up, Pei Xu poured out the pot of hot water from the cooker, undressed and wiped himself with a towel. It was after ten in the evening, and with his phone on and the water rattling, he didn't hear any footsteps coming from outside.

Hu Ying came running back for his mobile phone, he saw the light still on in the room and tapped on the door with gusto: "Pei Xu."

Pushing hard, eh, it actually bolted.

Pei Xu froze for a moment and hastily took his trousers and pulled them up his legs, "Wait."

Hu Ying asked in wonder, "Are you asleep?"

With that he glanced in through the doorway.

At this look, his eyes went wide and he turned his back sardonically.

After a few minutes, Pei Xu, wrapped in a down jacket, came over and opened the door for him.

"Why are you back?" Pei Xu asked.

Hu Ying didn't even have the heart to look at Pei Xu's face and just said, "I ...... forgot my phone."

"I just washed up, there was water on the floor." Pei Xu remained unruffled, still treating him like a wooden man.

He rushed to the bed and got his phone, seeing his rabbit also laying on the bed, also in his hand, and panicked.

It was so snowy outside that the road was half a foot thick, and it creaked on it, and as he ran he thought, "My goodness, if Yan Zhi is a fierce tiger, Pei Xu is a giant dragon.

The tapping in-rolls are all too serious these days, aren't they?

If the dragon and the tiger fight, what business is there for him!

Hu Ying made a mad dash to the hotel.

Wen Nuo saw him running with a red face and asked with a smile, "Why are you back so soon?"

Hu Ying said, "It was too cold, so I ran fast."

He coughed twice as he said it.

Looking up, he saw Huo Cheng coming out of the bathroom in his pyjamas after taking a shower and walking towards them while drying his hair.
