Chapter 14 It's okay, we are not familiar with each other~

Although Chen Xing said that, he also knew that drinking alcohol so early in the morning was a bit weird, so he just chose a bottle of Coke.

The iced cola is full of gas, and you can hear a "pop" sound when you open the lid, which is really pleasant to the ear.

They rested on the sofa for a while. Chen Xing threw the finished Coke into the trash can, then turned on his phone and found that Xia Huanming had added them to a group called "Group for Uncovered Lunch Boxes".

【Xia Huanming】: Let's change our names

【Zheng Peiya】：Here I am

【Xue Si Nian】: Deduct 1

【Wang Baiyue】: Friend circle, start

[Zhao Xingyu]: I am dying of laughter @郑戚, 7 brother, why does your friend circle look like a shoe seller?

[Zheng Qi]: My parents asked me to make an advertisement

【Chen Xing】：1

Xue Si Nian put down her phone and said with emotion: "Xiao Zhu is still the best, you are the only one who cares about me."

Chen Xing patted his chest and assured: "Although I am not good at acting, you can rest assured that I can provide emotional value."

Xue Si Nian immediately put her thumb and index finger together and made a heart shape to Chen Xing, who happily snapped his fingers.

Everyone in the group was talking at once, and Zhao Xingyu's screen was flooded with emoticons, and everyone booed him offline.

Chen Xing checked Weibo again.

"Acting First" finally registered an official Weibo account, named [Variety Show-Acting First], and its first Weibo post was——

[@Variety show-Acting is Supreme]: Friends, Xiaoshang is finally here! Remember to follow [Acting is Supreme] on the [GCtv] app for a surprise!

This Weibo post was posted at 6 o'clock this morning, and the number of comments has now exceeded 50,000.

Most people were asking who would be in the cast, and the one that received the most comments and was pushed to the top was: "Someone guessed there would be a big brother, is that true? Kick me when the poster comes out."

The comments below are all "Please give me a Zhang Jinan", and the number of comments is still increasing.

Zheng Qi tapped his phone, full of envy: "Zhang Jinan is really famous. My comment section doesn't have as many replies as this netizen."

Chen Xing said seriously: "Brother Qi, believe in yourself. You are capable and you will become famous."

Zheng Qi smiled and said, "Your emotional value is quite sufficient, it's almost overflowing."

Chen Xing laughed.

As soon as half past eight arrived, everyone took the notebooks and pens distributed by the program team and set off.

They walked to the second area, to the second floor of the venue, and found the largest room on that floor, with "Performance Hall" labeled on the ticket.

After opening the soundproof door, the noisy sound entered Chen Xing's brain faster than the pictures.

In addition to them, there was already a group of people, some sitting on black chairs with pull-out tables, looking at their phones, and some leaning against the white wall to chat. The room was very bright, with white walls, wooden skirtings, and marble-colored tile floors.

There is an elevated podium at the front, and the chairs are arranged in rows, exactly six rows.

The order of the team numbers was shuffled, and their group number two sat in the middle row.

In front of Chen Xing was Qi Yinrui, who pulled the table aside and greeted him happily, "Brother Rui."

"It's Xiaozhu, you're here," Qi Yinrui turned around and greeted him. He didn't use hairspray this time, so his hair hung down smoothly.

"Brother Rui, this is what your hair looks like when you don't take care of it. I thought it would be curly," Chen Xing was very curious about Qi Yinrui's hair and kept looking at it.

Because Qi Yinrui played a boy with curly hair in the drama "Flower of Purple City", and Qi Yinrui also had curly hair when they first met, so Chen Xing always thought that Qi Yinrui also had curly hair in his daily life.

As a result, his hair was smoother than his.

Qi Yinrui pinched a bunch of his hair and smiled, "My hair is thick and straight, so I sprayed a lot of styling spray when I did that hairstyle."

"Ah - that would be very troublesome." Chen Xing checked the tuft of hair and almost became cross-eyed.

"Captain!" The team member next to Qi Yinrui joked, "He's from the next team over. Don't forget that we're competitors."

Qi Yinrui narrowed his eyes and said, "We are competitors, but also friends."

At this time, Xia Huanming, who was sitting on the left side of Chen Xing, glanced at the two familiar people and said, "Friends? Have you two added each other as friends?"

Chen Xing and Qi Yinrui looked at each other: "Oh, I forgot."

Only then did they take out their phones and add friends.

Qi Yinrui's teammates were dying of laughter: "I am dying of laughter. We have been chatting for a long time but we haven't even added each other as friends. I have already added Huan Ge as a friend!"

Chen Xing looked at Xia Huanming, who nodded under the shadow of his hat brim.

Chen Xing suddenly felt like the captain had betrayed him first, and asked unhappily, "When was it added?"

The teammate said proudly: "Before I got on the bus, I quickly added it as soon as I got my phone."

Chen Xing said "Oh" and fiddled with the cap of his fountain pen: "I added all the money together at the table. I asked him but he still disagreed."

Xia Huanming was just listening to their chat to relieve his boredom, but he didn't expect that the boredom would come upon him. He immediately sat up straight, held Chen Xing's arm and asked, "When did I disagree?"

"Yesterday at 3:23 pm, I asked you in the car, 'Captain, when are we going to add each other as friends?' You said—" Chen Xing lowered his voice and imitated Xia Huanming, "'Oh, let's talk after we get off the car', and that was it."

Xia Huanming: “…”

It seemed like he had forgotten.

Xia Huanming silently let go of his hand.

Seeing that Xia Huanming didn't say anything, Chen Xing knew that he remembered, and continued to recount what happened yesterday: "You remember now, right? At 4:05, we were dismantling things. I wanted to ask you at that time, but you said, 'Let's go draw lots after we're done dismantling', and that was it."

The two people in front were shaking from laughing so hard.

The teammate leaned on Qi Yinrui's shoulder and was about to cry: "Oh my god, Jinjin's tone is so similar, it made me laugh to death, hahahaha——"

Xia Huanming glared at them coldly.

Qi Yinrui ignored Xia Huanming's gaze and deliberately instigated Chen Xing: "Xiaozhu, imitate the line 'Oh, let's talk about it after we get off the car' again. It really sounds like that."

Chen Xing's voice was completely different from Xia Huanming's. To imitate Xia Huanming, he had to first retract his chin, lower his voice, and not be particularly lively: "Oh, let's talk about it after we get off the car."

The two men couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

Xia Huanming reminded with a serious face: "...Qi Yinrui."

Qi Yinrui zipped up his mouth: "Okay, okay, I'll shut up."

Xia Huanming pulled down the brim of his hat and admitted in a low voice: "This is my fault. I was so busy that I forgot."

Chen Xing shrugged, looking like nothing had happened, but in fact his lips were pursed to one side: "It's okay, it's better to forget a little. I'll get used to it after forgetting so many times anyway~" The ending tone of his voice was deliberately raised, and he didn't sound aggrieved, but rather naughty.

Xia Huanming: “…”

Chen Xing picked the barbs on his nails and said casually, "I got them thanks to other people, otherwise I might not have gotten them now~"

Xia Huanming: "You..."

Chen Xing sighed again: "Alas, I am just a stranger at best, and I am not familiar with him~"

The two people in front started to exaggerate the situation, whispering loudly with half of their faces covered.

"Chen Xing is so pitiful."

"Yeah, being treated like this and still being able to have a good chat, I would want to change teams if it were me."

…

Xia Huanming hooked Qi Yinrui's chair with his foot and reminded him: "Don't fan the flames."

Qi Yinrui glared at him with his fox eyes and winked at Chen Xing: "Don't do bad things. People won't be startled when someone knocks on the door in the middle of the night, right?"

Chen Xing cooperated very well and sighed: "Alas——"

Xia Huanming knew that Chen Xing did it on purpose, but there was no other way now, he had to jump into the trap.

Chen Xing’s younger brother is a lesson for us.

Xia Huanming leaned closer to Chen Xing, tilted his head, and looked up at him: "Then what do you want me to do in order to forgive me?"

Chen Xing's eyes slowly moved from his fingers to Xia Huanming's phoenix eyes. He suppressed his smile and said with a serious expression: "Call me Brother Xing."

Xia Huanming called out as he wished: "Wake up, brother."

Chen Xing shook his head: "If you are not sincere, call me again."

Xia Huanming: “…”

Xia Huanming took a deep breath and called out again, this time in a more obedient voice: "Hello, Brother Xing."

Chen Xing couldn't hold back his laughter anymore, and pinched Xia Huanming's cheek contentedly: "Oh, you are such a good brother. Call me Xing brother again, and I will buy you some candy."

Chen Xing has a very keen sense of hearing, but his sense of smell is not very good.

She didn't notice at all that she was enveloped by a noble and cold fragrance, which was the scent that bore Xia Huanming's personal signature - the woody notes were melted by body temperature, with the base notes being tuberose and jasmine.

Xia Huanming narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice a little: "Are you sure?"

Chen Xing is a smart man and he can tell from Xia Huanming’s eyes that he has reached the critical point.

Chen Xing's smile froze in the middle, and he retracted his hand along with it: "Captain, I forgive you."

Qi Yinrui said thoughtfully: "If you ask me, you are still too nice. If it were me, I would let him call me dad."

"Forget it, I don't want to be a father at this young age." Chen Xing scratched his hair, "Besides, please spare me so that we can meet again in the future."

Xia Huanming sat up straight again and whispered in Chen Xing's ear, "Would you like to have another drink when you get home today?"

Chen Xing felt that his understanding of Xia Huanming was correct. His voice was like a bonfire at dusk, and his voice was the only one that could be heard on the crowded seashore.

Especially including his favorite "wine".

Chen Xing sat up happily: "Okay!"

Xia Huanming lowered the brim of his hat and laughed softly, but his smile was drowned out by the cacophony of voices.

After everyone arrived, the four judges walked up to the podium together and showed the QR code of the general group first, asking everyone to join the group. After everyone entered the group, they began to talk about the groups.

Chen Xing's team was grouped together with the girls' group "1".

The host was afraid that he had not made it clear last time, so he explained: "In order to prevent anyone from not understanding what I said last time, I will explain it again. In the future, if the script needs a female role or the other party's script needs a male role, we can communicate with each other and borrow people."

It is possible that something was clear originally, but once you explain it, some people are no longer clear about it.

For example, me.

Chen Xing pointed at himself.

Xia Huanming noticed Chen Xing's gesture and asked him, "You mean you are the one who didn't understand?"

"Yeah, but it doesn't matter if I don't understand," Chen Xing patted the back of Xia Huanming's hand, "If I understood, wouldn't it mean that the captain is not as powerful as he is?"

Xia Huanming found it funny.

It was clearly just an excuse, but he made it sound like he was sacrificing his life for justice.

Xia Huanming continued his conversation and asked slowly, "Then I should thank you for being my supporting role?"

Chen Xing nodded confidently: "You're welcome."

"Heh," Xia Huanming smiled, "I'm not being polite with you either."

After the host finished speaking, Zhang Jinan, who had changed into his daily clothes, strode onto the stage and went straight to the topic of today: "The script requirements for the first episode are the two words 'suspense' and 'hope'. I have read all the scripts. Although the screenwriters are college students or interns, their future is immeasurable. It is really amazing that they have built a complete world with two words. The scripts are all very good."

The PPT behind Zhang Jinan turns to the next one.

"The following are the two parts that the second phase of the script must have--"

A sunlit beach and the word "Summer" appeared on the giant screen.

There was a commotion in the audience.

Xia Huanming stared at the screen and murmured, "Xia Tian?"

"It's summer. Speaking of summer," Zhang Jin'an smiled at the contestants below. His voice lingered in the room for a long time through the microphone. "What do you think of?"

It must be the seaside, the beach; watermelon, and ice cream.

The word "summer" alone is already extremely hot, making it feel like 38-degree weather is about to arrive.

Everyone started talking at once.

At this time.

"Crayfish!" Three words.

The extremely loud and clear voice filled the entire room.

The voice came from beside Xia Huanming.
