Chapter 74

Compared to his previous half-dead state, his childhood friend was now fully recovered. Chu Yu nodded and said, "I'm glad I'm feeling better."

Luo Jiayu suddenly grabbed his hand. Because the cameraman was in the front and the two of them were sitting at the back, the camera could only capture the two little heads that suddenly shrank down and hid behind the backs of the chairs, and it was impossible to see what they were doing.

The barrage of comments suddenly exploded.

【???】

【What are the two at the back doing! 】

[Ahhh, can you please push the camera over there?]

[If you can't see the specific scene, don't blame me for over-imagining it]

[The two of them were a bit too ambiguous. They were sticky from the moment they got in the car to the moment they got out. The sprayer even rubbed his face against the bob's neck. Did they think we didn't see it?]

[Someone said he was feeling unwell, but I felt like he was actually quite energetic.]

[This is too outrageous, too outrageous. If this were a business, I wouldn't even dare to eat it if they dared to sell it.]

"What's wrong?" Chu Yu was a little confused after being pulled away. "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"

"I suddenly remembered that we both have another identity." Luo Jiayu also squatted down, looking him in the eye, and whispered to him, "We haven't been open for business for a long time."

Chu Yu blinked, subconsciously feeling that what he said was wrong, but couldn't tell what was wrong.

But Luo Jiayu had already hugged her without saying a word. Another second would have made the person in his arms realize that the camera couldn't capture what they were doing at all.

Chu Yu's back was against the wall of the carriage, and his whole body was in Luo Jiayu's arms. Recently, for various reasons, he and Luo Jiayu had been hugging each other one after another. As a result, when that warm body pressed against him, his first reaction was no longer nervousness and retreat, but subconscious familiarity and stability.

If it was just a normal close hug, he would have been desensitized to it, but this time his childhood friend's lips brushed against the tip of his ear, seemingly unintentional, but also like a new test.

Because the bus door had slowly opened and everyone else was getting off one after another, the two of them couldn't stay there for too long, so Luo Jiayu didn't hug for too long and stopped after a few seconds.

Before his head left the person in his arms, he heard a flat, low accusation in his ear: "It's all an excuse. You're just taking advantage of me."

His childhood friend figured it out.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I'll treat you to three meals tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Luo Jiayu admitted it in a low voice, sincerely admitting his mistake and asking for forgiveness, but he said he would dare to do it again next time.

Chu Yu didn't reply. Before he stood up, he silently put his hat on his head. He had been wearing a white hoodie when he arrived. The hood was large and soft, pressing down on his head. His hair hung down from the hood, covering his ears.

Although he exposed his childhood sweetheart's conspiracy, it seemed that he suffered more because his ears were red.

Luo Jiayu was walking in front, and was very happy that his trick had succeeded. But when he turned around, he saw Chu Yu playing with the long straps hanging down from both sides of his hood, and poking at the small beads at the end of the straps in an attempt to cover up something. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what he was trying to hide.

Luo Jiayu's expression instantly became serious, and only after he turned back to the front did he raise the corners of his mouth a little bit. He felt as light as a feather, as if he was walking on the clouds, with the corners of his mouth flying around in places he didn't even notice.

[Brother Sprayer, you laugh like a fool]

Someone please take care of him. I feel like he's about to start dancing while walking.

[Brother Sprayer's state has been really unstable recently. Sometimes he's depressed and sometimes he's so happy that he wants to fly. He used to be a silly dog disguised as a cool guy, but now he doesn't even pretend.]

[Who is the reason for all these ups and downs and my mind wandering? I am too embarrassed to tell you.]

[Why is Xiaoyu suddenly wearing a hat? Do you know that this makes it even more suspicious?]

[Wearing a hat and covering his ears, he must be shy. Shyness is the most difficult emotion for Xiaoyu to hide.]

[Just now, I was suddenly pulled down by the troll brother. I don’t know what he did. When he came back, he was immediately put on a hat. It’s really hard not to think too much]

[Don't stop me, I'm going to spread rumors on major forums now]

[Someone on a certain website has already released a video analyzing sugar points]

The mysterious surprise given by the program team is the last collective commemorative hot pot before the third public performance. After this night, it will be the last round of elimination and screening before the finals. The competition will only be more intense than the previous two rounds.

And tonight is the last night that all the trainees can get together and enjoy hotpot and laughter without distractions.

The entire hot pot restaurant was booked by the program team. The restaurant itself is not big, and the 35 contestants can just fill the entire hall. The seats in the hall are unevenly distributed. There are super large long tables with eight seats suitable for a group of people to get together and chat, and there are also simple double seats with a small hot pot and two chairs.

Most trainees tend to choose long tables with many people. Firstly, it is easier to get the attention of popular contestants in places where many contestants gather. Secondly, there are more cameras when there are more people, and double seats are relatively deserted.

Of course, some people chose the two-seater without hesitation.

Lu Yiyang rushed in and his eyes lit up when he saw the double seat on the inside of the corridor. He pulled Xue Liu beside him and was about to run through the crowd, but he was intercepted by someone halfway through.

Luo Jiayu had just taken off his coat and draped it over the back of a chair. He was about to call Chu Yu's name, but when he looked up, he met Lu Yiyang's silent and unwilling gaze. He instantly understood what the other person was thinking and readily extended his hand: "Rock, paper, scissors."

Lu Yiyang understood and stretched out his hand: "Rock, paper, scissors."

Barrage:

[A very funny scene, two children play rock-paper-scissors to reserve seats]

Why does Sprayer always play rock-paper-scissors when he encounters something like this? Last time, when he was choosing a route in the haunted house, he played rock-paper-scissors with Xiaoyu.

[It's hilarious. The two of you are so eager to get a double seat.]

[Men who have families and want to live a life of two are different]

[Thanks to the program team for this plan, I was able to see two couples in one go]

[I've watched this episode, the one with the childhood friend won]

[Come on, Sprayer! You must win! Behind you are the ghosts of thousands of Pisces sisters! !]

In front of the camera, the two trainees are engaged in a thrilling competition.

The two of them looked solemn and spoke in unison:

"Scissors."

"Stone."

"cloth."

The results came out, Luo Jiayu chose scissors, Lu Yiyang chose paper, and the sprayer brother who was carrying thousands of ghosts won.

Lu Yiyang beat his chest and stamped his feet, his limbs flailing as he was led away by Xue Liu, leaving Luo Jiayu calmly and confidently turning 360 degrees on the spot, hoping to find his childhood friend to show off his victory. However, after turning a circle, he didn't see his childhood friend at all.

Before Lu Yiyang left, he asked Xue Liu in his arms, "Who are you going to eat with?"

"Chu Yu." Luo Jiayu was surprised by this question, which he asked despite knowing the answer. "Who else can I eat with?"

"Where is Chu Yuren?"

"I'm lost." He put the coat he had just draped over the back of the chair back on. "I'll go find him."

Chu Yu just saw a little orange cat at the door when he entered the room. He couldn't help but squat down and stroke the cat's fluffy head. The little orange cat was also very friendly. After seeing him squatting down, it meowed and rubbed against people's arms. Chu Yu was fascinated by stroking its fur. When he looked up again, he found that Luo Jiayu was gone.

There were many screens and curtains serving as partitions in the hall of the hot pot restaurant. Chu Yu washed his hands and peeked in from the door. At first glance, he could only see a long table in the middle that was packed with people. The double seat in a more remote location was blocked by the partition, so he couldn't find Luo Jiayu.

He had a poor sense of direction and observation, and was also road blind. He thought that he would be able to find the person if he walked in all directions of east, south, west and north. In the end, he walked around three times and was still walking back and forth in the same small place.

He was now even more confused than the little orange cat that he had suddenly dropped outside the door while petting it.

But this confusion didn't last long, as a familiar voice came from behind: "Looking for me?"

This kind of lively public place would easily make Chu Yu nervous. Hearing these words, he seemed to have entered a moving comfort zone, and his whole heart relaxed at once. He reached out and pinched the other person's sleeve, without even checking his face, and said "ang".

"Just stand where you are. I saw you at first sight." Luo Jiayu looked around and didn't find any cameras. He quickly followed his childhood friend's movements, grabbed his hand and walked to his seat.

"Why didn't I see you?"

"I want to know too. You just blinked and looked around, clearly aiming your eyes in my direction. I even blinked at you, but you turned your head away without even stopping."

"..." It sounded like something a blind man like him would do.

Chu Yu sighed softly: "I've been like this since I was a child, and I can't change it."

"So just stand where you are. I'll find you anyway."

After we were seated, the waiter came over with the menu and smiled at the two handsome guys in front of us. "Hello, what would you like to order?"

From childhood to adulthood, Chu Yu and Luo Jiayu have eaten at countless restaurants together, and the way they order food has been going on for many years and has a long history. Luo Jiayu skillfully leans forward a little, and Chu Yu takes the opportunity to grab his sleeve. Both of them do the movements very naturally.

The waiter handed each of them a menu and waited patiently for them to order. Then, he saw Chu Yu, who was sitting across from Luo Jiayu, grabbing someone's sleeve, looking down at the menu, and whispering to his childhood friend:

"I want to eat shrimp paste."

Luo Jiayu looked up and calmly repeated to the waiter, "Hello, I'd like an order of shrimp paste."

"I want to eat fat beef."

Luo Jiayu looked up and continued, "Hello, I'd like a beef roll."

"I want to eat the fish roe lucky bag."

Luo Jiayu: "Another lucky bag of fish roe, thank you."

"I want to eat..."

"Sir." The waiter finally couldn't help but interrupt Chu Yu, who had been chatting with Luo Jiayu. He put on a professional smile and gently and tactfully reminded the handsome boy in front of him:

"You could have told me directly."

"..." Chu Yu didn't say anything. He lowered his head and silently grabbed Luo Jiayu's coat sleeve.

"One more serving of Thousand Layer Tripe, two servings of Duck Blood, one serving of Beef Brain, one serving of Beef Shank, and a plate of Lamb Rolls. That's all for now, thank you."

Luo Jiayu returned Chu Yu's menu to the waiter after he finished speaking. After everyone left, he turned around and asked his childhood friend, "Is everything I ordered correct?"

Chu Yu nodded: "One can of happy water is missing."

"Drink less happy water."

After all, we have eaten hotpot together so many times, and we basically know each other's favorite dishes and what dishes they will order.

Chu Yu tried to retract his claws and body after using the person, but was stopped by his childhood friend. Luo Jiayu held on to the person's claws and refused to let go: "I just saw a beverage machine, I can go get it directly."

There was no camera near the beverage machine. Luo Jiayu watched the person in front of him struggling between happy water and oolong tea. In the end, he chose the latter as if compromising. Just as he was about to leave, he was pulled back by himself.

Luo Jiayu hooked Chu Yu's finger, lowered his head slightly, and smiled with his eyes curved:

"How much do I like you now?"
