Chapter 110 The finishing touch

Xia Linxing sneaked into Xie Tinglan's lounge stealthily.

Fortunately, the trainees were busy preparing for the next performance during this period. Even Cheng Xuezhou was angry and left after he found out that Chen Sibai did not suspect Xia Linxing, and Xia Linxing did not realize that her clothes had been tampered with. So no one noticed Xia Linxing's abnormal behavior.

He carefully touched the door of Xie Tinglan's lounge, carefully pushed the door open a crack, then carefully stuck his head in and looked around.

"What are you looking at?"

"Of course it depends on whether you thank me—"

The words stopped abruptly on his lips.

Xia Linxing slowly raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound - he saw Xie Tinglan standing quietly behind the door he pushed open, looking at him with his head lowered.

"Ah——" Xia Linxing gasped in fright.

When did Xie Tinglan stand there this time? !

Why does Xie Tinglan always scare him?

Xie Tinglan looked innocent.

This time... he really didn't mean to go over and scare Xia Linxing.

It can only be said that Xia Linxing was too lucky. When he was about to leave the lounge, Xia Linxing came just in time.

Xie Tinglan himself was surprised. Just as he was standing at the door and was about to press the doorknob to open it, the door quietly opened by itself... a crack.

Hmm? A crack?

Xie Tinglan raised his eyebrows slightly.

He initially thought that the staff wanted to see him for something, but he quickly changed his mind.

After all, anyone who wants to see him, whether it's a director, producer or staff member, will knock on the door in advance to make sure he is in the room. They won't just push the door open so impolitely and stealthily like they did now.

So, he withdrew his hand that was originally reaching for the door, ready to see what the person who sneaked into his lounge wanted to do.

As a result, a familiar little head poked in from the crack of the door.

The little head was sneaky. After sticking it in, it looked left and right, but didn't look up.

Seeing that little head looked around and confirmed that it was safe, and was about to push the door in, Xie Tinglan, who was standing behind the door, had to speak and remind the other party that there was someone here.

——Otherwise the door would have hit him right in the face.

Then, as expected by Xie Tinglan, Xia Linxing was frightened again.

Seeing Xia Linxing, who was not surprisingly frightened and stood there in a daze, Xie Tinglan took the initiative, reached out to open the door, and carried the frightened person into the room.

He carried the person to the sofa and shook him before putting him on the sofa, trying to shake Xia Linxing back to his senses.

Xia Linxing was put on the sofa with a dazed look on his face, watching the "culprit" sit down leisurely in front of him.

"Are you here to see me?"

Xia Linxing came back to his senses and looked at Xie Tinglan in confusion. He hesitated for a while and said "emmmmm", but finally decided to nod.

"Yes!" He responded in a strong voice, trying to cheer up his guilty self with a firm tone.

That’s right, he came here to look for Xie Tinglan’s… clothes!

"What do you want me to do?" Xie Tinglan took out a bottle of water from the side, unscrewed it and handed it to Xia Linxing.

"Looking for that...Oh, thank you."

Xia Linxing reached out to take the water, took a sip, and began to think of his words: "That's it... Teacher Xie, the thing is actually like this..."

Xia Linxing concealed the reason why he had ruined Shen Sibai's performance costume. He quickly recounted the story of how Shen Sibai found his costume torn and unable to wear it, and because time was tight, the costume department had no replacement clothes. Finally, he expectedly threw out the result he wanted to Xie Tinglan who seemed to be thinking: "Then I thought... to ask Teacher Xie for help!"

"Oh, you want my help?"

Xie Tinglan glanced at Xia Linxing with a half-smile, but he had not forgotten the way Xia Linxing sneakily opened the door and poked his head in to look around.

Is this the correct action and appearance to use when asking him for help?

What a pity... Xie Tinglan looked at Xia Linxing with some regret: he spoke too early, and Xia Linxing was caught in advance. Now he has no way of knowing Xia Linxing's true purpose, and can only believe whatever Xia Linxing says.

"How do you want me to help you?" Xie Tinglan looked at Xia Linxing leisurely.

He wanted to see what kind of medicine Xia Linxing sold in his little gourd.

...Huh?

Xia Linxing's eyes lit up.

Xie Tinglan today...seems particularly easy to talk to!

He quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Teacher Xie, can you find a piece of clothing for Shen Sibai!" As he said that, his little eyes couldn't help but drift towards the wardrobe in the lounge.

"Hmm?" Xie Tinglan remained silent. He had certainly seen Xia Linxing's irresistible look, so he just looked at Xia Linxing leisurely, "Why do you think... I can help?"

Xia Linxing racked his brains: "Of course...of course it's because..."

"Teacher Xie, you can do anything! Teacher Xie, you must have a way!" He flattered Xie Tinglan fiercely.

After flattering him, Xia Linxing began to reveal his true intentions: "I remember..."

"Teacher Xie, you seem to have a silver private suit..." He looked at Xie Tinglan with sparkling eyes, and used his eyes to signal Xie Tinglan to quickly answer.

Say you have it, say it quickly!

Xie Tinglan nodded: "I do have such a piece of clothing."

But after saying this, Xie Tinglan shut his mouth, with no intention of continuing to speak. Instead, he changed the subject and looked at Xia Linxing meaningfully: "I didn't expect...Xingxing, you care about me so much..."

Even his private servers were deeply memorized in my mind, and I would think of him the first time something happened...

"Huh?" Xia Linxing was stunned by Xie Tinglan's bizarre train of thought. What did this have to do with him? Weren't they talking about helping Shen Sibai borrow his costumes?

He stared at Xie Tinglan blankly for two seconds, not knowing how to answer him.

He had already thought about Xie Tinglan's possible reactions, such as directly agreeing to his request or politely rejecting his request... but not like this, where the topic was inexplicably turned to him, leaving him confused.

Xia Linxing laughed dryly twice: "Haha... because Teacher Xie is so popular..." So no matter what clothes he wears, there are people who look for the same ones every day, so he knows... it's also normal... right... ?

Xie Tinglan looked at Xia Linxing's face which began to wrinkle again, and mercifully let him go.

After all, Shen Sibai is also an artist of his studio. There was a problem with his performance costume, which affected the performance. Xie Tinglan also had a certain obligation to help solve the problem.

Although he didn't know why Xia Linxing suddenly ran over so enthusiastically to help Shen Sibai, Xie Tinglan still got up from the sofa and walked to his wardrobe under Xia Linxing's puzzled gaze.

"This is the one you're talking about, right?" He took out a silver casual suit from the closet.

Xia Linxing… Xia Linxing didn't actually know which one this "should" refer to. After all, he had no idea what Xie Tinglan's private clothes were. But he had his own way of judging—he craned his neck and took a peek inside the closet.

"Yes, yes, this is it, this is it..." Xia Linxing nodded quickly.

Because there were no other silver clothes in the wardrobe.

He stretched out his hands to take it, saying, "Thank you, Teacher Xie, thank you, Teacher Xie..."

But his outstretched hand caught nothing.

Xia Linxing looked up in confusion. She saw Xie Tinglan slowly putting the silver dress back into his arms.

Hey, could it be that Xie Tinglan just took it out for him to take a look at and didn’t intend to lend it to them?

Xia Linxing's eyes widened in shock.

If that's true... then Xie Tinglan's character is really bad!

He was just thinking indignantly when he heard Xie Tinglan say above his head, "Why are you still standing there?"

Xie Tinglan was already walking towards the door with clothes in hand, and was looking at him strangely, "Didn't you say that the situation over there with Shen Sibai is very urgent? Why aren't you leaving?"

Um?

Um! ! !

Xia Linxing finally realized what Xie Tinglan meant and quickly trotted after him, "I'm coming, I'm coming, Teacher Xie..."

It turned out that he had misunderstood Xie Tinglan! He didn't expect Xie Tinglan to be such a kind person with a cold face but a warm heart. He actually planned to go and see it himself!

It would be better to go in person... If Xie Tinglan goes in person, he can interact with Shen Sibai... This should be a good thing for him in terms of the mission.

For some reason, Xia Linxing began to feel a little down as he looked at Xie Tinglan's back. However, Xia Linxing himself couldn't figure out why his mood suddenly became low. He could only follow Xie Tinglan back to the dressing room with a low mood.

"He's back! He's back! Xia Linxing is back—Hey, Teacher Xie is here too!"

The trainees in the same group turned around and found that Xia Linxing had suddenly disappeared. However, Shen Sibai's situation was very serious at the moment, and they had to help Shen Sibai with the performance costume issue first, so they were busy and had no way to go find Xia Linxing. Now that Xia Linxing had returned on her own, they breathed a sigh of relief.

But they didn't expect that Xia Linxing not only came back on his own, but also brought back another one. The trainees in the same group suddenly realized that Xia Linxing had gone to ask Teacher Xie for help!

I can only say that Xia Linxing is really... too far-sighted!

They discussed for a long time after Xia Linxing left, but couldn't come up with any solution.

Shen Sibai's clothes were damaged so thoroughly that there was no way to repair them temporarily; coupled with the time pressure, they didn't even bother to find out how Shen Sibai's clothes were damaged or by whom, they just wanted to solve the problem of the next performance first.

At this time, Xia Linxing brought back Xie Tinglan, which was like a sudden downpour of rain after three years of drought!

They immediately gathered around and started talking to Xie Tinglan about Shen Sibai's costume. Xie Tinglan had to raise his hand and signal them to quiet down first: "Xing...Xia Linxing has already told me what happened..."

Xia Linxing, whose name was called, nodded dejectedly.

The other trainees looked at Xia Linxing with some admiration: It seems that Xia Linxing's request for Xie Tinglan's help...is not going very smoothly...

They were originally a little jealous that Xia Linxing was able to get Xie Tinglan to help, but when they saw Xia Linxing looking listless... they guessed that Xia Linxing's trip would not be very smooth.

Their jealousy instantly faded. They decided to play it safe and not get involved in something that could potentially offend their mentor.

Xia Linxing and Shen Sibai have a good relationship! They actually risked offending their mentor to invite Xie Tinglan to help their group!

They looked at Shen Sibai and then at Xia Linxing, feeling quite emotional.

Xie Tinglan was looking at Shen Sibai's damaged performance costume.

I have to say, what Xia Linxing said before... was indeed not an exaggeration. Shen Sibai's clothes are indeed unwearable. There is only so much time left before the performance, and it can't be repaired.

At first, Xie Tinglan thought that Xia Linxing deliberately used exaggerated methods just to lure him over. He also wanted to see what Xia Linxing was trying to do by going to such great lengths.

I didn’t expect that this time...it was actually true.

So Xie Tinglan didn't hesitate any longer and took out the clothes hanging in his arms: "Take a look, can this dress replace (your performance clothes)..."

"Wow..." A trainee exclaimed, obviously recognizing that the clothes were Xie Tinglan's private clothes. But at least he had the sense to not say it in front of Xie Tinglan, but just looked at Shen Sibai with some jealousy.

"This..." Shen Sibai took the clothes from Xie Tinglan's hand. He wanted to refuse emotionally because he could imagine what kind of sensation... and trouble it would cause if he performed on stage wearing Xie Tinglan's private clothes.

But he knew rationally that this was the best solution at the moment.

He could only purse his lips and thank Xie Tinglan: "Thank you, teacher. After the performance, I will wash it and return it to you..."

Xie Tinglan waved his hand indifferently, without commenting.

When Xia Linxing saw this scene, she almost cried with joy and immediately put aside the inexplicable depressed mood she had just felt.

finally!

Finally, there was a time!

His mission was carried out according to the original plot!

This time, there will definitely be no problems with his mission!

He watched Shen Sibai prepare to try on clothes and Xie Tinglan prepare to leave. Just when the great task was about to be accomplished, Zhao Jian suddenly exclaimed "Huh".

"Stars..."

Zhao Jian stood behind Xia Linxing, tilting his head to look at Xia Linxing's performance clothes, frowning slightly: "Why do I feel..."

"The back of your clothes seems weird too."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Sibai's steps to enter the locker room stopped, and Xie Tinglan's steps to leave also stopped.

They all turned their heads and looked at Xia Linxing's... back.
