Huo Cheng and Hu Ying brought Duan Yihua with them, and the three of them went to Room 1 and had a bottle of wine with Lin Qingning and the four of them.
They didn't talk about Di Xingchen or Pei Xu, nor did they talk about their feelings.
Love pits them against each other, and in one moment they become brief allies.
After the last bottle of wine and the snacks, they didn't break up, and the four of them sat on the floor, talking until the early hours of the morning, when everyone started to doze off.
Huo Cheng and Duan Yihua emerge from Room 1.
They were both slightly drunk, and their bodies were steaming with alcohol.
Huo Cheng, his face flushed with wine, holding a cigarette, his back stern, tall, strong and thin.
"It's really a bit late." Duan Yihua said as he looked at his watch.
"There's nothing to do tomorrow anyway, so I don't have to get up early." Huo Cheng said.
He said and looked up at the stars in the sky.
Room 4.
Wen Nuo turns over surreptitiously and looks across at Yan Zhi.
Yan Zhi is not asleep, leaning back in bed and playing a game on his mobile phone.
The light from the mobile phone screen illuminates Yan Zhi's glasses, through the reflection of which one can faintly see the intensity of the fight.
Wen Nuo breathed a small sigh of relief, thinking, "I wonder what time it is, it's almost midnight.
He is as calm as a coward, but even thinking about Pei Xu and Di Xingchen at this moment makes him feel upset, and the others must be even worse.
The person he likes is now sleeping in the same bed with a rival, alone together, what will they say and do, will Di Xingchen's heart flutter in the process, will there be physical contact?
Messy.
The next day Di Xingchen woke up extra early.
Although he was very sleepy, he set the time and woke up at dawn. When he woke up, he hung up his alarm clock, but he still woke up Pei Xu.
Pei Xu glanced at the time with sleepy eyes, "So early."
Di Xingchen let out a "hmmm" and said, "I think I've disturbed you.
But Pei Xu sat up anyway.
The room has started to cool down a little and Di Xingchen sits down to get dressed, the heat starting to escape as soon as his body emerges from the blanket, carrying his unique scent. Pei Xu squinted and took his jumper and pulled it on.
Di Xingchen glanced over at Pei Xu's lips and thankfully, the fire symptoms were not worse.
Last night he slept rather faster than the day before because he was so tired and it was so warm under the covers that he couldn't hold it together as he lay there and soon fell asleep.
But it was so odd to see the two of them dressed together, four long legs filling up the kang, he was wearing fall trousers and Pei Xu was wearing loose shorts, showing off his long, well-proportioned legs, and he noticed that Pei Xu's calves were superbly shaped, strong and lean, while his thighs were thick and strong, the man was really far more solid than he thought, looking thin and tall but actually very fit.
"You don't have to get up so early." He says to Pei Xu.
"Aren't you going to cook?" Pei Xu said, "I'll help you."
When Pei Xu was so direct, Di Xingchen was less embarrassed and turned his head to look at Pei Xu, who then looked at him and smiled.
Pei Xu still looks a little tired and sleepy, and that smile looks extraordinarily quiet and gentle, with a very homely intimacy.
The environment can really affect a person, and it's really easy to develop a relationship when living together in such a run-down house with humble surroundings, especially as Pei Xu is not a particularly refined person, and he wears a fleece hat and a thick jumper, and the feeling of living at home comes instantly.
Di Xingchen went out to go to the toilet and by the time he came back Pei Xu had finished squeezing all his toothpaste.
As the two stood in the courtyard brushing their teeth, Pei Xu looked out at the sky and said, "It's a beautiful day."
The sky to the east is already starting to colour up full, a pale yellow.
"There seems to be someone over by the snowman." Di Xingchen said as he stood up straight.
Pei Xu looked over at the snowmen and saw a man crouching in front of them.
Pei Xu looked towards the man for a moment and rinsed his mouth, the water in his glass already cold.
"It seems to be Brother Huo." Di Xingchen said.
It was indeed Huo Cheng, who also saw the door to Room 3 open and saw Pei Xu and Di Xingchen in the courtyard.
He then stood up immediately.
Huo Cheng's body is cold and his nose and ears are red from the cold. He rubs his hands together and looks away towards Di Xingchen and Pei Xu in the courtyard.
He got up early in the morning, unable to sleep, but he was up so early that it was not even light yet.
He then waited outside alone for a long time.
The sun was up and the golden sun shone through, so he walked over towards room three: "Good morning." He shouted.
Di Xingchen asked, "You're up so early."
"Just got up too, coincidentally." Huo Cheng said with a smile and glanced at Pei Xu next to him.
Pei Xu said, "Come inside, we're still warm inside."
Di Xingchen looked at Huo Cheng and saw that he was covered in frost and asked, "Why are you up so early today?"
He got up so early because he wanted to be up before Huo Cheng and the others.
Huo Cheng rubbed his hands together and was about to speak when he heard Hu Ying's voice shouting from the yard, "Why did your snowman's nose fall off?"
Huo Cheng froze for a moment when he saw Hu Ying come in wearing a hat and gloves and a chubby outfit.
"Nose off?" Pei Xu asked.
Huo Cheng looked different and said, "My nose looked fine to me when I first arrived."
"One really fell off." Hu Ying said, "I would have stuffed it back in, but the snow is frozen hard now and it wouldn't fit in, and that radish fell in half, crunchy."
Huo Cheng snapped and put his hand up to the cooker to roast it.
When he was waiting, he was cold, his feet and ears hurt, and he was so miserable, so miserable, that when he looked at the two snowmen, he got angry and poked the nose off one of the snowmen. The snowman was frozen solid, so it was hard to put it back on, but when he put it back on, the turnip was still a whole one! And he did put it back on.
Did he not secure it strongly enough and it fell off again?
But Pei Xu changed the subject and asked Hu Ying, "Why are you up so early too?"
Hu Ying said, "Everyone is up early today, I think, and I see Brother Duan is up too."
Isn't it obvious why people get up early?
We all know it by heart and there is no need to pick it out to embarrass everyone.
When he saw that Di Xingchen wanted to wear the down jacket that Pei Xu had given him, he said, "Didn't Director Guo tell us yesterday that we should try to wear the brand we shot with?"
"I almost forgot." Di Xingchen said and put down the duvet he was holding and picked up the one the programme team had prepared for him and put it on.
Pei Xu was already making up the bed when Hu Ying glanced at it and froze.
They both actually sleep on one end.
It's normal to sleep on one end of the bed, but it's not normal to sleep on the other end of the bed. But the problem is that when Pei Xu slept with him, he slept at the top of the bed and at the bottom of the bed.
Hu Ying took one look at Pei Xu and sneered, his fighting spirit leaping out all of a sudden.
" Yan Zhi and Wen Nuo don't know if they're up yet." He said.
Huo Cheng asked, "Is Qingning up yet?"
"He didn't, he had a bit too much to drink yesterday and was a bit drunk." Hu Ying said.
Di Xingchen immediately asked at this, "Have you been drinking?"
"We didn't drink too much, but Brother Lin was probably in a bad mood and drank a bit too much. "
The reasons why Lin Qingning is in a bad mood are self-explanatory.
This is by far the biggest weakness in Pei Xu!
Sure enough, Hu Ying noticed that Di Xingchen was looking a little unnatural.
Very well, he had the provocation to succeed.
Hu Ying said, "Are you ready? Let's go. It's too cold for you here."
Huo Cheng asked Pei Xu: "Aren't you going?"
Pei Xu said, "I'll pack my bag, you guys go ahead."
When he got to the snowman, Di Xingchen noticed that there was a snowman whose nose was really only half left, and the remaining half was on the side of the road, where there were several cigarette butts in the snow. He froze for a moment, not expecting Huo Cheng to be here for so long.
He then turned his head to look at Huo Cheng. Huo Cheng was still without a hat, his ears were frozen red, his cold, well-defined face was flushed, his cheeks looked a little browner than they had earlier in Nancheng, probably because the cold had chilled even the enthusiastic Huo Cheng, who seemed much quieter, a little haggard, with a dark blue under his eyes.
He pursed his lips for a moment.
He found that if he took these people's feelings seriously, he was actually not embarrassed, but rather touched, and just a little disturbed, thinking what he was capable of.
" How come Brother Huo doesn't even wear a hat." He asked.
Huo Cheng turned his head to look at him.
"I didn't wear a hat." Huo Cheng said.
"I have one." Hu Ying said, "I'll give you one when we get to room one."
"I don't want it to be too gaudy." Huo Cheng says.
They arrive in Room 1 to find Duan Yihua already preparing breakfast. Ten minutes later, Lin Qingning and Wen Nuo also arrived. When breakfast was ready, Pei Xu came too, but Yan Zhi never arrived.
"He plays games until dawn, and he was asleep when I came." Wen Nuo says.
In fact, Yan Zhi had always been a gentleman, although he was known for his brutal gaming style, but Wen Nuo had never seen that side of Yan Zhi in real life. So he was surprised when he opened his eyes and found Yan Zhi still playing the game. He sat up and asked, "Have you been up all night?"
Yan Zhi gave a "hmm", his eyes were red and bloodshot without his glasses.
Di Xingchen thought that they hadn't slept well, or maybe it was because they had been drinking last night. Lin Qingning's face was a little puffy, Hu Ying was holding it together with his bright make-up, Huo Cheng, needless to say, was blue under his eyes, and Duan Yihua looked tired.
Only Wen Nuo is a little better.
It's not easy to adapt and get used to the fact that everyone likes you immediately, and several complex emotions keep alternating in a cycle.
After the meal, the programme team brought the car over to them.
Pei Xu looked at his watch and said, " Xingchen, let's go."
The table looked at them both with subtle expressions.
Pei Xu didn't bother to look at his rivals; it was important to keep a low profile with his tail between his legs at this time.
Di Xingchen reassured himself that it was all inevitable, that it was all to be expected. He wiped his mouth and stood up.
At around half past nine, he got into Pei Xu's car.
Under the eye of Hu Ying, Huo Cheng, Duan Yihua, Lin Qingning and Wen Nuo, five persons.
"Wow wow wow wow wow, this shot." Guo Bing said excitedly.
It looked so normal and there were no intense expressions on anyone's face, but so much for the classic tragedy!
Hu Ying said, "I envy Pei Xu," as he watched the car slowly pull out of the Little North Pole.
Yeah, so jealous of him.
"It's a good thing we have a chance back there." He said to the others, "We can't let him win next time if we say so, everyone agrees, right?! We have to stick together and be united against him!"
It's true that we can't let Pei Xu continue to win, even if it's not himself next time, but someone else, whoever it is, it's better than Pei Xu!
Pei Xu sneezes.
Di Xingchen leaned back in his chair, the most awkward part of the day behind him, and he should be able to breathe a little easier next.
It is better to face one than to face a group.
"It's the first date of my life." Pei Xu said suddenly.
Di Xingchen froze for a moment.
He found the word first time too ambiguous and particularly hit-or-miss.
He let out an "Oh", "And?"
He thought there was a second half of the sentence, like if the arrangements were bad, please bear with me or something.
But Pei Xu simply gripped the steering wheel with his long fingers, his expression indifferent but his ears slightly flushed, and said, "Nope, just wanted you to know."
