CH 74

As they walked together towards the restaurant, Huo Cheng walked unobtrusively up to Di Xingchen and asked, "Are you cold, Xingchen?"

Di Xingchen turned his head and looked at Huo Cheng for a moment: "A bit."

Huo Cheng has just squeezed into his side with such obvious intent!

"It's so cold, I wonder how it is at the theatre." Lin Qingning said.

"There are more people there, more machines and more lights, so it should be much better." Duan Yihua said.

"Brother Yan, aren't you cold?" Hu Ying suddenly asked Yan Zhi. Hu Ying suddenly asked Yan Zhi.

Yan Zhi is wearing a turtleneck jumper on the inside and a tweed coat on the outside.

"It's a bit cold outside, but it's okay to come in." Yan Zhi said.

He also wore a black glove.

"What's in your bag?" Hu Ying asked again.

Yan Zhi said, "A magic trick to be done."

When he said that, everyone was interested, and Lin Qingning smiled and said, "You haven't seen anyone all afternoon, so you've been preparing props?"

"Brother Yan is actually going to do a magic trick," says Hu Ying. Hu Ying said, "I'm really looking forward to it."

At this Huo Cheng glanced at the handbag in Yan Zhi's hand.

He also has this handbag, which is a men's classic and costs over 40,000. He looks like he's stepped out of a newspaper, wearing a coat and carrying a designer bag.

They were all tall and looked good in their down coats, but when compared to Yan Zhi's, they immediately turned into men. Yan Zhi is a delicate man, but not the same as Hu Ying, he is very manly. He had always felt a bit guilty towards Yan Zhi for choosing his magic trick. He felt that everyone's performances, be it musical instruments or dancing, were at least very impressive, but the magic trick was really hard to distinguish.

The magic tricks that he had prepared before were all small tricks like playing cards, folding matches, coins and glasses, etc. They had very limited time and conditions to prepare, and it was obviously impossible to do the kind of magic that would amaze the audience. But this kind of small magic tricks, in front of the camera is very easy to reveal, not to mention that in a place like the theatre, in front of the audience, it is also very easy to cold show.

Although Yan Zhi is his rival, he has a conscience and doesn't want Yan Zhi to be embarrassed because of him.

But now he suddenly and inexplicably felt that Yan Zhi might be about to break all their expectations and potentially be amazing.

Look at the way he's so calm and collected!

Also, those black gloves he's wearing are so nice, they go so well with his jacket and look even more ascetic.

Huo Cheng is planning to buy a glove for himself.

He really has a lot to learn when it comes to dressing.

Taking the best from your love interest is also a great strategy.

I don't know which style Di Xingchen prefers, his style or Yan Zhi's style.

It seems like a half-hearted effort.

He feels that Yan Zhi has his own flaws, he is too refined, not only in the way he dresses, but also in his family, his profession, his star power and his severe cleanliness, he is like a piece of fine art that one dare not approach.

Compared to Yan Zhi, he is much more grounded. He has been to the Di Xingchen family and he feels that he is more suited to be the son-in-law of the Zhai family.

He was the perfect fit in every way, unlike Wen Nuo who was completely just a regular guy, and unlike the other six and Di Xingchen whose family backgrounds were so far apart. He's the only one who strikes a balance between being a good family man and being successful enough!

Huo Cheng thought and glanced at Di Xingchen again.

Di Xingchen is furiously watched by Huo Cheng.

"If you're cold, wear something thicker for the show later, you're so handsome you'll look good in a down jacket. But this one is a bit big, so you should wear the one I gave you, it's white and looks good on you." He said to Di Xingchen.

If he didn't say anything, then Di Xingchen remembered that he was wearing a Pei Xu down jacket!

He still has the Bugs Bunny hat that Pei Xu gave him in his pocket.

And when you think about it, goodness, how did he miss these little fishy things so much before!

He thought they were all just nice people who treated him like a good friend, and he was moved to say that these rich people were actually so down-to-earth and took such good care of him.

Now look, my goodness, they are actually trying to sleep with him!

Di Xingchen can't help but feel a chill in his heart.

When the group arrived at the restaurant and took their plates to get their food, Hu Ying greeted him, "Xingchen, I can't believe they have crayfish here that you like!"

Di Xingchen said "Oh" and went over with his plate.

He served some crayfish and added some rice. He was only twenty years old, the youngest of them all, not very big, but the most able eater of them all, and because he was so athletic and young with a fast metabolism, he ate the most every time. Today was a special day, and he didn't want to be seated too early, so he added an extra portion of soup than usual.

Hu Ying stayed glued to his side and said, "Will you eat too much?"

"It's too cold to eat more to get the calories." Di Xingchen said.

When Hu Ying heard him say that, he also added a sweet corn soup.

Di Xingchen thought, "Hu Ying is so close to him, he has to follow him everywhere he goes.

He remembered their time in South City when he had been given the right to date and finally chose to extend a date invitation to Hu Ying, and that was when they had both been honest with each other, as they had no threat or conflict with each other, so they had completely bonded and helped each other out.

But now Yan Zhi has fallen in love with him.

He's clean and clueless but he thinks he's green tea three when he looks at things from Hu Ying's point of view!

My goodness, what a way to go.

He felt that he would most likely not be able to eat all the food he had taken today. He didn't have any appetite at all.

Because Di Xingchen was slow this time, Huo Cheng was already seated with his plate.

The tables there were all rectangular, with long benches, and one table could accommodate exactly eight people. He picked a middle seat and sat down, he also took the crayfish, he would have to peel them for Di Xingchen later, he sat in the middle so that he could reach Di Xingchen wherever he sat.

After he sat down, Yan Zhi took a seat opposite him.

Yan Zhi looked even more handsome without his glasses, and when he glanced at him, he noticed that Yan Zhi was not serving crayfish.

Huo Cheng was surprised.

He couldn't help but glance twice at Yan Zhi before noticing that his right index finger was bandaged.

"Are you hurt?" he asked Yan Zhi. He asked Yan Zhi.

Yan Zhi gave a "hmm" and said, "A small injury."

"How did you get it?" Huo Cheng asked immediately, concerned.

A love rival is a love rival, but his concern comes from the heart.

Duan Yihua and Wen Nuo were seated one by one and when they heard their conversation, they all looked towards Yan Zhi.

"Are you hurt?" Lin Qingning asked in surprise, "How did you hurt your hand?"

Now Yan Zhi, Lin Qingning and Duan Yihua are seated in the left row, while Wen Nuo and Huo Cheng are seated in the right row, with Wen Nuo on the far side, one person away from Huo Cheng.

Pei Xu took a seat right next to Yan Zhi and craned his head towards Yan Zhi's hand.

"You have a very precious hand, how did it get hurt?" Lin Qingning asked.

"I accidentally scratched myself this afternoon while preparing a magic trick." Yan Zhi said, "It's a little superficial, nothing serious."

But the hands of a sportsman are already important, not to mention Yan Zhi's. His hands are so good-looking that they've been in the news, and they're the hands of thousands of fans.

Soon Hu Ying and Di Xingchen returned with their plates and the only seats left were across from Pei Xu and Duan Yihua.

Hu Ying saw that he could not sit with Di Xingchen, so he took the initiative to sit opposite Duan Yihua.

Di Xingchen had to sit across from Pei Xu.

After sitting down they heard about Yan Zhi's finger injury.

"Did you go to make ice sculptures?" Hu Ying asked.

Yan Zhi gave a "hmm".

"What ice sculpture?" Duan Yihua asks.

Hu Ying told us about his trip to Snow City with Yan Zhi, who learned how to make ice sculptures.

"Does your magic have anything to do with ice sculptures?" Huo Cheng asked in amazement.

Fuck me, that's too good, Yan Zhi.

He really underestimated Yan Zhi's romantic skills! Like himself, he only knows how to play cards and such.

"Magic and ice sculptures?" At this point Wen Nuo and the others were all intrigued too.

When these two are linked, they instantly become romantic and mysterious.

"I'll sell it." Yan Zhi smiled and said, "Keep it a bit of a mystery and let's not discuss the topic right now."

He folded his arms and smiled at everyone, so humble, gentle and handsome, Di Xingchen glanced at his fingers, his right index finger was bandaged and the white bandage was still faintly stained with blood.

Huo Cheng thinks Yan Zhi is so hardworking and romantic, so he can't be weak, he can't be romantic, but he can be practical.

So he started peeling the prawns.

Pei Xu watches indifferently as Huo Cheng peels the prawns.

Yan Zhi also watched indifferently as Huo Cheng peeled the prawns.

Di Xingchen was eating in silence when he suddenly noticed that Pei Xu across from him was looking at him.

Pei Xu looks at Di Xingchen because he finds Di Xingchen very silent for a while.

Just sit there and eat seriously without a word.

It's a good thing to know that Hu Ying, Di Xingchen and Huo Cheng are usually the three best at moderating the atmosphere and talking the most in these situations.

Di Xingchen set the crayfish aside, peeling them would get a handful of oil and he planned to eat them last.

Then he heard Hu Ying ask with a straightforward smile, " Brother Huo, you've peeled so many prawns, why don't you eat them?"

Di Xingchen followed the crowd and turned his head towards Huo Cheng, who stiffened for a moment and said, "I'll always eat later."

"I thought you were going to peel it for any of us to eat." Hu Ying said with a smile.

Huo Cheng then looked at Hu Ying for a moment, then smiled and said, in a strong and slightly joking tone, "Eat your meal."

Di Xingchen feels that his eyes at the moment are like the cameras of a variety show, he can catch all the subtle expressions and discover the secrets that he didn't notice before.

He saw Yan Zhi suddenly smile softly at his words.

Hu Ying reaches for the sweet corn soup, with a subtle look, three parts provocative and two parts hostile in the corners of his eyes.

Across the room Lin Qingning suddenly lowered his head, a smile that he seemed to be holding in at the corners of his lips.

Duan Yihua, who was beside Lin Qingning, suddenly glanced at him as if to see what his reaction would be.

These are the details that make Di Xingchen's hair stand on end.

Wasn't this the same variety of Shura micro-expressions he'd been imagining in the romance roundup every time he'd arrived at the table since he'd entered the Red and Blue Lodge!

But ......

Why did Hu Ying dislike Huo Cheng just now?

He has no reason to dislike Huo Cheng. He likes Yan Zhi! It's none of his business who Huo Cheng likes.

Di Xingchen felt like Sherlock Holmes in a flash.

When he thought about it, he felt that Hu Ying was acting as if he was secretly disliking his rival, jealous and hiding a needle in his heart. Huo Cheng's response also seemed to have a flavour.

If Huo Cheng likes him, and Huo Cheng and Hu Ying are love rivals ......

Crap!

Hu Ying doesn't like him too, does he?

As soon as the thought occurred, Di Xingchen immediately looked up.

His eyes skimmed over all those present, the cool Pei Xu, the gentle Yan Zhi, the mature Duan Yihua, the domineering Huo Cheng and the fiery Hu Ying ......

For a moment, he had the feeling of being surrounded by wolves.

The thought sounds a bit absurd and overly narcissistic, but ......

It's not like the blue guest likes him and the red guest likes him too, is it?

Is the woman he's been looking for his own?

Jesus Christ!
