The winter nights here are unusually cold, and there are very few cars on the road from the county seat to the Little North Pole, and it is pitch black in all directions, even the snow-capped mountains turn into dark silhouettes in the moonlight, with the occasional house or two on the side of the road, mostly small two-storey buildings with golden windows making the night look even colder.
In the tavern, it is warm and welcoming at the moment.
All six guests had had a lot to drink, and their faces were all heavily coloured with alcohol. After the meal, Hu Ying asked the staff member next to his, "Aren't Xingchen and the others back yet?"
The staff said, "Not yet."
Everyone looked at the time, and Wen Nuo said, "Are they going to spend the night outside?"
"I don't think so," Lin Qingning said, "the last time Brother Huo and Xingchen went on a date, it was snowing so hard that they came back overnight."
"There's no need for them to stay overnight." Hu Ying said. Hu Ying said, "They'll still live together when they come back."
And they could sleep on a bed when they came back, but if they stayed overnight, they would need at least two beds. If Pei Xu was not stupid, he would not have stayed overnight.
Pei Xu has really picked up a bargain this time.
Four days in a row is just too much of a killer.
"They should probably be back too, so let's go back too." Duan Yihua said.
They came out of the tavern and went back to Room 1.
We all stayed together in the living room and waited for Pei Xu and Di Xingchen.
Huo Cheng went out for a cigarette and did not go back in afterwards, but wandered outside by himself and reached Room 3.
He remembered when he and Di Xingchen were on a date, climbing Bai Yushan together and coming back late in the evening, and when the car came to this area, he ran into Pei Xu, building a snowman here.
In retrospect, it wasn't a perfect fit. Pei Xu was waiting for them, just like he is now, wasn't he?
Everything was traceable, they just weren't paying attention at the time.
The two snowmen were still holding hands, except that one had a broken nose and looked a bit ugly.
He squatted there for a moment, suddenly glancing at the cigarette butts he had dropped that morning, dark and haloed in the snow with a heavy yellow-black colour, so he reached down and picked them up, then sighed and stood up.
He threw the cigarette butt into the view bin and went back inside Room 1.
Duan Yihua and Lin Qingning are sitting at the table playing checkers, while Hu Ying and the others are watching and Yan Zhi is the only one playing the game, reclining in his chair.
Hu Ying saw him enter and immediately glanced back and asked, "Back?"
"No."
Hu Ying saw Huo Cheng taking a carrot from the kitchen and asked, "What are you doing with the carrot?"
"Pei Xu broke his nose building that snowman," says Huo Cheng. Huo Cheng said.
"Why is the snowman's nose broken?" Duan Yihua asked.
"I don't know, I think I dropped it myself. " Hu Ying said.
He just didn't understand why Huo Cheng suddenly thought of this and had to go and change the snowman's nose.
Huo Cheng took the carrot out, the half-broken one, and then, using the snow on the ground, re-glued the carrot in his hand.
As he looked at the two snowmen, he became aware of a car driving by from a distance.
With a smile on his face, he pursed his lips and took up his position at the side of the road.
It was two cars, one in front and one behind.
Di Xingchen saw a familiar figure just as the car reached Room 3.
The lights of the car illuminate the entire road, and Huo Cheng stands between two snowmen, as if the scene were recreated. Only Pei Xu in the car is switched with Huo Cheng on the side of the road.
Pei Xu stopped the car and Di Xingchen opened the door and got down, calling out, "Brother Huo."
Huo Cheng smiled, looked at him and said, "Finally, you're back."
Pei Xu said from the car, "I'm just not going to go down there, I'm going to return the programme first."
"Go on." Huo Cheng said, glancing at the back of the car and seeing two familiar faces.
It is the two follow up shots of the programme.
Pei Xu picked up the gloves Di Xingchen had left behind: "It's a bit cold."
Huo Cheng just looked on with a smile on his face. Pei Xu drove the car away and Di Xingchen, still a bit embarrassed, said, "Why are you standing here."
"I'll give the snowman a new nose." Huo Cheng says.
Di Xingchen glanced towards the snowman's nose, and there was a snowman with a brighter red nose.
He shoved his gloves in his pocket, both hands in his pockets, and said, "Is everyone rested?"
"They're all waiting for you." Huo Cheng said, "Let's go. Let's go together."
They both then walked together towards Room 1.
The wind was blowing from the north and it was very cold. Huo Cheng turned his head to look at Di Xingchen for a moment, then thrust his hands into his pockets and asked in a careless manner, "How was your day?"
Di Xingchen says: "It's okay."
Huo Cheng didn't ask any more questions, as he didn't think it was appropriate to do so, although he would have liked to know.
"We thought the crew hadn't sent a camera with us this time." Huo Cheng added.
"They were sneaking past to follow us, but we saw them on the way there."
Di Xingchen looked at Huo Cheng and remembered that Huo Cheng had squatted here early this morning, and that he was the one who was waiting for them at night.
Huo Cheng is a rough man, but because he is rough, this love is all the more important.
In fact, the more I experienced, the more I could feel what the director said, that all these people really liked him.
Pei Xu is, and so is Huo Cheng.
He noticed that Huo Cheng was wearing a hat this time.
Grey cotton cap.
Hu Ying and the others were still sitting at the table playing games when Yan Zhi was the first to see someone come in.
Enter Pei Xu.
Yan Zhi's heart shook and he immediately put down his phone and sat up straight.
Immediately after Duan Yihua also saw Pei Xu, he too immediately sat up straight and said, "Back."
Hu Ying and Lin Qingning both turned their heads and saw Pei Xu enter, and Hu Ying stood up with a start: "You're back? Where's Xingchen?"
Pei Xu said, "It's in the back."
Hu Ying's whole face instantly lit up and he immediately ran out.
Pei Xu turned his head and watched him go out, while he went to the table, got his and Di Xingchen's water glasses and poured two cups of hot water.
"The hut has come to life." The staff said with a smile.
" Pei Xu They are all back, isn't it time for Xiao Wei and the others to come back too?"
Little Wei and Little Li, the camera boys who followed Pei Xu and the others to the county seat today.
As soon as he said that, he saw Little Wei and Little Li running in with the camera in their arms.
" Director Guo!"
Guo Bing immediately stood up, "What kind of footage did you shoot?
"So director, if we both get a superb shot, will you give us an extra bonus?" Xiao Wei said with a smile.
The staff member next to him said, "By the sound of that, it looks like a big haul."
They hurriedly picked up the two cameras and connected them to a nearby machine. Wei said excitedly, "This time it wasn't a waste of time! Do you know what a great arrangement Brother Pei has made this time? You know what Brother Pei did this time? He played by the rules, but then he made a big move at the end! I think if Di Xingchen is not a wooden man this time, he must have had a heart attack!"
When he said this, he drew the rest of the staff in the room to him. Guo Bing asked, "Didn't you say Pei Xu wouldn't let you follow him?"
"We didn't really get a lot of footage at the beginning, it was mostly shot by Pei Xu himself, so you can see his camera footage later. But I don't think there's anything explosive about it."
A colleague handed him a cup of hot tea, and Xiao Wei took it with a smile and took two big sips: "But from the time we went up the mountain, I dare say we shot almost no useless footage! We always thought he was going up the mountain to see the stars, but he actually took Di Xingchen to set off fireworks!!!"
"The best part is, do you know what kind of fireworks he was setting off?" Little Li said.
Everyone was totally fascinated by how excited they both looked, "What fireworks?"
"Full Sky Xingchen!"
"Did you see the evening sun today? All I can say is that Pei Xu's fireworks are even brighter than today's evening sun!"
Guo Bing, his face red with excitement, sat down at the computer himself, clicked on the document and started reading it. He was so anxious that he clicked directly on the one with the pyrotechnic footage, and as soon as it opened, the whole room gasped.
Hu Ying walked quickly and eventually took off at a run, spotting Di Xingchen and Huo Cheng from a distance.
His heart's joy was sour and warm, and he stopped and stood still instead.
It was Di Xingchen who finally gave him the go-ahead.
"You're back at last." He said with a smile.
It feels like it's been a long day.
Di Xingchen sensed from Huo Cheng and Hu Ying how much he was missed.
He was actually a little embarrassed when he got back to the Little North Pole, a day of dating, and the moment he got back was no better than the moment they got in the car and left, as you can imagine. But the sincerity he felt from Huo Cheng and Hu Ying made him feel less awkward.
Perhaps that's the biggest change he's made since this trip out.
The three of them entered Hut 1 together, and once inside he saw Wen Nuo and Duan Yihua all standing and looking at him, and they all greeted him, "Back."
The return of Di Xingchen and Pei Xu brought Lodge 1 to life in an instant.
Di Xingchen smelled the strong smell of alcohol and asked, "Have you been drinking?"
"We went to the pub today." Lin Qingning said with a smile.
He then looked at Pei Xu, who was next to him.
Everyone was secretly watching the two people returning from their date, trying to gauge their emotional state today from their moods and expressions.
But Pei Xu is a man who never shows his anger, so I couldn't tell anything from him, except that he was thirsty and had drunk two glasses of water in a row since he returned.
Di Xingchen was also a little thirsty and saw that his glass was already full of hot water, and wondered who had poured it for him.
"Did you guys go to the movies?" Hu Ying asked.
Di Xingchen said, "How do you know."
"I've seen the roadshows online." Hu Ying said. Hu Ying said, "They said you guys went to see Big Brother Loves Me?"
Di Xingchen didn't expect this kind of detail to be posted on the internet. Since Pei Xu had arranged the trip, he was afraid that people would misunderstand that Pei Xu had taken him to see this kind of movie on purpose, so he explained, "We went to a movie theatre where you can eat and watch movies on demand. I saw that this movie was number one, so I thought that since it was number one, it must be right, so I ordered it and watched it, but we left halfway through." I didn't go there specifically to see it.
It seems they misunderstood Pei Xu.
And yes, I'm sure Pei Xu wouldn't have been so quick to colour and cheap.
"What did you all do today?" Duan Yihua asked.
It's an inevitable part of the romance scene to come back from a date and discuss what they've been up to, and a few of them have talked to each other about it since they came back from their last date. Since the latter was going to be aired anyway, Di Xingchen didn't hide it from them, saying, "We went to a craft workshop first and made bark paintings."
"Are there any bark painters here?" Wen Nuo immediately said, "I've heard that the bark paintings in Beicheng are famous and are a cultural heritage.
"Yes, there are bark paintings for sale right next to the post office." Lin Qingning said.
"And then what?" Duan Yihua asks with a smile.
Without waiting for Di Xingchen to reply, Pei Xu said.
"And then it was a movie and a stroll through the old streets," he says, thinking it would be better for him to say this part for Di Xingchen, to save him the embarrassment, and his tone is flat and extremely understated: "And then we ended up going to the fireworks, up in the mountains. "
As expected, everyone looked amazed when they heard about the fireworks.
Everyone was surprised and turned their heads towards him.
All with the same thought in mind, fuck, fireworks?
Pei Xu is too good at it too!
They were all shocked.
Because they thought this was even scarier than Yan Zhi's full of stars.
And then think about the rosy evening sun today.
Kam!
Pei Xu looked at everyone.
Looks like he's going to be the number one love interest.
