CH 100

Yan Zhi slept until noon, his head was buzzing and he had some pain after getting up because of the all-nighter, he washed up and got a call from Wen Nuo asking him to go to Room 1 for dinner.

Today's lunch was made by Wen Nuo, who made some dessert, then took some of the noodles Hu Ying had brought with his and cooked a big mess with tomatoes, eggs, chilli sticks, shredded beef and vegetables.

In the absence of Di Xingchen, several of them were in low spirits.

After dinner, the group gathered at the table to chat, and Hu Ying suddenly let out a sigh of relief and said, "I wonder what Xingchen and the others are doing now."

This one statement directly silenced the entire table.

Not knowing what you're doing is actually the most torturous part.

Because I don't know, I'm always thinking about it.

They didn't even bring a follow up camera.

"They must have gone to the county or the city, right?" Duan Yihua said, "There's still a lot to see here."

Because they knew the general flow of the show, they had actually made private tips on how and where to take each other if they got the date.

I also wonder if there will be any overlap between Pei Xu and where I want to be.

Yan Zhi gets up, and silently goes to brush the dishes, while Wen Nuo gets up to help him.

"I haven't even cooked, I'll do it." Yan Zhi said. "If they go to a crowded place, there should be a road show, right?" Hu Ying asks.

Huo Cheng They all look to him.

The atmosphere in the hut was meaty and low, and the programme team took it all in stride.

"Should we tell them that we sent a camera to follow?"

The more anxious they are, the harder they'll work on their next date," says Guo Bing. And even though our camera man followed them, he didn't dare to get in front of Pei Xu and Di Xingchen, so it was a waste of time!

Sitting in the car with the camera, looking towards the car in which Pei Xu and Di Xingchen are sitting.

The two of them had been in the car for several minutes and the car hadn't moved yet.

Another camera said, "Those two aren't doing anything in the car, are they?!"

"Doing what?"

The two men looked at each other and hurriedly both picked up their cameras and shot at the car in the distance.

Through two layers of windows, they could dimly see Di Xingchen and Pei Xu in the car.

The two men did not act violently, but instead both sat calmly inside the car.

"It's out a bit earlier than I expected," Pei Xu said, "would you like to rest in the car for a while?"

"Where are we going later?" Di Xingchen asked.

"There's a folk street over here, but it's not very long, so you can't wander for long. If you're tired, just put the chair down and lie down in the car for a while, it's quiet too."

Di Xingchen asked, "Do you have any other plans for today?"

Pei Xu says: "Basically, there are no more."

It's not even two o'clock yet, there's still a whole afternoon ahead of us.

That's plenty of time.

Di Xingchen then adjusted the seat and Pei Xu said, "Don't lie down yet, let's change places."

Pei Xu drove the car to the river on the outskirts of town, a wide, frozen river with a beautiful view of rolling snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Pei Xu got out of the car and took two blankets out of the trunk. His date arrangements followed exactly what Zhou Jiangbai had told him, and the itinerary was very generous in terms of time, with everything being natural and comfortable. Getting out of the cinema early was not part of his plan, but Pei Xu was happy because he thought it might be better to be alone with Di Xingchen in such a quiet and confined space than in the cinema. "We just went to the cinema and I think we forgot to bring the camera." Di Xingchen says.

Pei Xu said, "Luckily I didn't bring it with me."

Both men then laughed.

Perhaps Di Xingchen doesn't feel embarrassed to be in the same car as he was in the cinema.

The car is heated enough that it's a bit hot to wear a down jacket, so Di Xingchen takes it off and puts it on a thin blanket. He turns his head to look at Pei Xu, who is looking at his stocks.

He then pulled out his phone and looked at his fund.

The fund that he bought is in the red again today and there is a reminder on it that it has been in the red for five days in a row.

"A little over." He said.

Pei Xu said, "It's a slow bull market these days, and it's still going up. I'm going out to make a call."

With that, Pei Xu got out of the car and stood by the river to make a phone call.

Di Xingchen puts the phone down and lies back in his seat, watching Pei Xu quietly.

Pei Xu was wearing a down jacket provided by the programme team, it was thick and still pure black, which made Pei Xu's skin extraordinarily fair, his face was very white but his ears were light red, his hair was particularly good, shining in the sunlight, black and shiny, his whole body was full of vitality and good looks. He vaguely heard Pei Xu saying something about a loan from the main office, he must have been on the phone with someone from their company, the sun was shining well outside but it was still cold, white vapour was coming out of his mouth as he spoke, occasionally he would glance at him without lingering.

Pei Xu This call took a long time, maybe ten minutes or so, and came back with the backs of his hands frozen red.

"Don't you have gloves of your own?" Di Xingchen asked.

"Yes." Pei Xu said and pulled another pair of gloves out of his pocket, actually the same ones he had been given, with a black four-pointed star design on them.

"You didn't buy these gloves recently either, did you?" Di Xingchen asked.

"No, I brought it from South City." Pei Xu said.

It was also brought to him.

He had always felt that Pei Xu was aloof, as if he had always been outside of the red and blue guests, but now he is slowly beginning to realise that Pei Xu is no less emotional than the others.

He just hides it well.

Or maybe it's just that people aren't paying attention.

Di Xingchen turned his head to look at Pei Xu for a moment and caught a glimpse of his red, clean tongue as he licked his slightly dry lips.

Di Xingchen withdrew his eyes and remembered the film they had just seen.

In the film the male lead stares intently at the female lead and then sticks out his tongue.

"I usually drive out alone a lot if I'm off and have more free time." He suddenly heard Pei Xu say.

Di Xingchen's thoughts were interrupted with some embarrassment.

What was he thinking?

The impure one was completely carried away by that impure film.

Look at Pei Xu, how serious he is right now!

Pei Xu continues, "In a place like this, I could lie in peace and quiet all afternoon."

"Do you enjoy being alone?" Di Xingchen says, "Is it that you need the space to be alone and that's why you drive out alone."

Pei Xu says: "Not really, now with two people, I just feel a bit more comfortable."

Oh, to be ambushed by me!

"Really." Pei Xu came back with this.

Di Xingchen blushes a little because he knows that Pei Xu is telling the truth, not sweet words.

This man, really, has a face that you would believe anything he says.

"I can lie here with you like this all day." Pei Xu said again.

"I've heard Brother Lin say that when you used to go to school abroad, you used to play basketball alone and run to the lake in the park to sit by yourself."

"I just don't get along as a kid, so I don't grow up to be as nice as Brother Huo and the others. So today's date might not be as enjoyable as your date with Brother Huo, or with Hu Ying."

Pei Xu said and turned his head to look at him.

"Yeah, I did have more fun dating them and we both had a particularly good time. Mostly they both have better personalities and are more interesting than you." Di Xingchen says.

After that he turned his head to look at Pei Xu.

Pei Xu pursed his lips and nodded once, saying "hmm", and said nothing more.

Di Xingchen just burst out laughing.

When Pei Xu heard him laugh, he realised that Di Xingchen was teasing him on purpose, and his heart, which had just fallen, shot up again.

"Don't think I don't know what you meant by that earlier, playing the pity doesn't work, were you expecting me to say, no, I had a good time dating you too." Di Xingchen asked with a smile.

Pei Xu's face was red and he didn't say anything.

Di Xingchen was even happier and came over to me: "Isn't that right, Brother Pei."

Pei Xu was so embarrassed that he suddenly leaned over and had a sudden urge to press Di Xingchen, who was deliberately teasing him, against his chest. His unexpressed love turned into a fierce energy that he hated not being able to let out.

But his hand stops just as it touches Di Xingchen's neck, and he withdraws it and sits back in the driver's seat, his ears red, his expression fierce and coy.

If he really wanted to put his arm around him and squeeze his neck, it would be like a fight between men, boys laughing and playing with each other, often with physical "clashes", but at this moment he suddenly withdrew it, but it was so ambiguous that it immediately exploded the tension of that flourishing love.

Why not touch him? It's only when you have a ghost in your heart that you don't touch him, when your feelings are hot.

Being alone in a closed car with someone you love is no different from sleeping in the same bed with someone you love, lust, instinctively, awakens and at the moment it just finds an opportunity to burst out.

Di Xingchen also stopped laughing and said, "The cameras are all over it."

"I didn't open it." Pei Xu said.

"You didn't open it?"

"Well," Pei Xu said, "I turned it off."

The two men just lay there in the car in silence, both clearly no longer talking and neither moving, but the atmosphere in the car continued to heat up, and finally it was Pei Xu who sat up, opened the door and went out, standing with his back to him.

Di Xingchen looks at Pei Xu's back, he can't see his face but he can see his red ears, dripping with blood.

His back is tall, strong and lean, cool, only his ears speak for him of love and desire. The man is silent, but his ears are intense, cool and hot, restrained and straightforward, very compelling.
