【167. Wrap-up Banquet】

Cheng Qingxing paused and stood there looking at him.

Seeing that he didn't move, Zheng Xuhe also stopped, looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." He shook his head, then smiled and said, "Let's go in and eat."

Then the two of them entered the restaurant one after the other.

In fact, Cheng Qingxing recalled something that happened a long time ago. It has been eight years since Zheng Xuhe said to him in person, "Congratulations on the completion of the filming."

Hearing it now, he felt strange, yet strangely happy and relieved.

"Hey! Mr. Zheng, you're here!" Zhao Xueyi walked up to Zheng Xuhe with a can of Coke in her hand, "I told you I'm useful."

"Hmm?" Cheng Qingxing looked a little puzzled.

"She is reporting to me about the progress of your filming." Zheng Xuhe did not hide it from him and confronted him directly.

Cheng Qingxing was not angry, but he thought Zheng Xuhe was asking Li Dong. After all, it was more appropriate for the director to report to him.

He invested in this drama, so it is normal for Li Dong to report the progress to him.

"Why are you standing there? Come in and eat!" Li Dong said from the side, "Come on, come on, celebrate the completion of "Sword Wound"!"

"Okay, okay, I hope "Sword Wound" becomes a big hit!" Zhao Xueyi echoed from the side, raising her Coke and shouting.

Cheng Qingxing agreed with them. After drinking a cup of Coke, the two of them found a secluded corner and sat down.

Because they are a barbecue restaurant, they reserved an area and everyone sat together in groups of four or five, and there were many small groups.

This way, everyone has no pressure to eat and can still eat their fill.

He and Zheng Xuhe were surrounded by some unfamiliar extras, so there was no pressure.

"Why did you come all the way here?" Cheng Qingxing asked with a smile while eating the pork belly he had roasted himself, "You probably haven't finished recording Confessions Under the Moonlight yet, right?"

He was still in Wancheng yesterday. Logically, he should have been recording for several days. Coming back at this time, he must have gone back to make up for the recording.

"Well, it hasn't been recorded yet, but it's recorded at night, and the plane will go there in the morning, so it will only take two hours."

Although Zheng Xuhe said this, Cheng Qingxing knew very well that catching an early flight was a very troublesome thing. If it were him, he would definitely not want to come back.

It takes two hours to get there, but four hours to go back and forth, plus the one hour to catch the plane, which makes it more than six hours.

Why not use these six hours to rest in the hotel?

"Even though you said that, you should be nicer to yourself next time and don't suffer like this." Cheng Qingxing took a bite of the barbecue and looked at the tired man, "You look very tired."

Zheng Xuhe sat there with his chin supported, looking drowsy.

He did not answer Cheng Qingxing's question, but just sat there quietly, drank some Coke, and listened to him talk.

In fact, Cheng Qingxing didn't want to say anything, so he just sat there and grilled quietly.

To be honest, he really likes to eat quietly like this. It doesn't take up much time or effort and it feels very relaxing.

"Actor Zheng, how was your experience recording that romance program?" Zheng Zhaoxueyi suddenly popped up and asked.

As she asked, she took a bite of the pork belly roasted by Cheng Qingxing, and then muttered, "It's a bit bland. Add more salt to make it more flavorful."

"Do you think everyone is like you, eating such heavy food?" Zheng Xuhe said to him with disdain.

Zhao Xueyi didn't care what he thought. She just sat next to him and asked, "Which couple do you like?"

"I don't think much of that couple. I feel like there's no hope for them." Zheng Xuhe propped up his chin and said helplessly, "Do you have anything else to ask?"

"Are you still in need of observation guests for your show? Can you take me up?" Zhao Xueyi coquettishly took his wrist and said, "Actor Zheng, please take me up. I really want to take advantage of your popularity."

Zheng Xuhe impatiently shifted his gaze away, not wanting to listen to her nonsense.

"Don't be like this!" Zheng Xuhe rolled his eyes in disdain, "People outside will misunderstand."

"What's there to be misunderstood about?" Zhao Xueyi deliberately raised her voice, "We are here to promote the drama. Are we going to close down just because we have someone we like?"

She said the three words "closed" to Cheng Qingxing, and then asked him, "right, Mr. Cheng?"

Cheng Qingxing naturally knew what she meant, so he smiled and replied, "Well, it's impossible that we won't be open for business."

This is not a lie.

Both of them are actors, so they must do a good job in promoting the drama, which is their job.

"But it's not my decision whether to let you appear on Confessions in the Moonlight. The production team may not like you."

Even though it hurts to say this, it is indeed the truth, because the investors of "Confessions in the Moonlight" are all big names, and the sponsors are all targeting Zheng Xuhe, and they really don't look down on ordinary small-time celebrities.

Zhao Xueyi is obviously still a small-time celebrity and cannot even appear on this show.

"Oh, I know." Zhao Xueyi said with a wronged expression, "It doesn't matter if I can't get it, but Teacher Cheng should be able to get it, right?"

"Oh?" Zheng Xuhe raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Cheng Qingxing.

Cheng Qingxing paused while eating the barbecue, not quite understanding why Zhao Xueyi suddenly said this, and his eyes immediately looked at Zheng Xuhe.

"If it's Teacher Cheng, then we can give it a try." Zheng Xuhe said in a brisk tone with a hint of doting, "After all, it's still on the rise and the popularity is very high right now. If you want to come, I'll talk to the program team and see the result."

"You're talking like I'm some big shot." Cheng Qingxing said innocently, "I'm probably not suitable for Confessions in the Moonlight, so you don't need to ask."

"How could you not be suitable!" Zhao Xueyi immediately said, "You two are the most suitable for this show!"

She was so sure that Cheng Qingxing thought he had heard it wrong. He looked at him with some fear and asked, "You are an outsider, and you still care about this kind of thing?"

"What do you mean I'm an outsider?" Zhao Xueyi shouted in grievance, "I'm doing this for your own good."

This time, Cheng Qingxing understood the meaning of his words. After thinking for a moment, he said softly, "Your CP brain must not affect your future work."

Zhao Xueyi waved her hand at him and said confidently, "Don't worry, it won't happen. Although I love you guys very much, I love myself more."

"Although she is a CP brain, her suggestion is good." Zheng Xuhe continued her words, "It's a good thing for you to be on a variety show at this time."

In fact, Cheng Qingxing also knew it, but if he were to go on this show with Zheng Xuhe, the feeling of being bound together would be too strong.

He didn't want to be tied to Zheng Xuhe.
