Chapter 221 I Hate Not to Be Alone

"Okay, let's take a break first!"

Gu Qi pushed back the wet hair that was stuck to his forehead, and beads of sweat dripped down the ends of his hair.

Xie Qingyu glanced at the status of the members through the mirror, nodded without objection, turned and walked to the corner.

He picked up the thermos cup and sipped the specially made health tea, which was a recipe blended based on the information from both Hu Xuan and Ji Shuran.

Although he didn't understand why he had to start taking care of his health at the age of 18, the intensity of his recent training was too high, and this cup of medicinal tea, which was euphemistically called "Qi-replenishing tea", was indeed effective.

Good things should be shared, but unfortunately my teammates couldn't stand the smell of the medicine.

In the end, Xie Qingyu could only find Leo, who was easy to bully and listened to him, to accompany him to drink for two days. As a result, the already energetic puppy was so excited that he couldn't sleep for two nights in a row. He was so scared that he never dared to recommend it to others again.

"The movements in 'Rose No. 404' are still too fragmented. I need to keep practicing."

Xie Qingyu withdrew his thoughts and pointed out the problem directly.

If it was when we first met, he might have been more tactful, but now everyone is familiar with each other's personalities.

Xie’s second rule: Everything in life can be negotiated, but training must be done with excellence!

After all, if there are problems here and mistakes there during training, how can the official stage be perfect?

The audience's patience is limited. Only when "high standards and strict requirements" are engraved in their bones will they be willing to give them more stage opportunities.

"It's worthy of being the title song. It's nice to listen to, but it's really hard to dance to~"

Ding Zai and Wei Liangchen collapsed directly to the ground, perfectly practicing the principle of "lying down where you practice."

"The inspection will be done tomorrow, so everyone should work harder." Gu Qie turned on the captain's encouragement mode at the right time.

"Oh... When will this kind of life end——" Wei Liangchen wailed while looking at the ceiling.

He was now aching all over, feeling as if his bones had been crushed and reassembled.

But everyone in the team is a monster. Except for Ding who looks a little tired, everyone else seems to be at ease. Even You Jizhua has left him.

It's outrageous!

At this moment, Bai Lang reminded him calmly: "Tomorrow, the inspection will be completed and we will shoot the MV."

Wei Liangchen was struck by lightning in an instant. He was already on the verge of death, and now he was more desperate than ever. The most important thing was that his heart was dead.

I don't know whether Bai Lang was intentionally finishing off the opponent or simply stating the facts... The possibility of the former is greater than 99.99%.

Never underestimate the bad taste of a person with expression paralysis, especially when this person comes from the same company as the smart guy Gu Fox in the team, you must be extremely careful!

"What are we having for dinner later? Shall I order now?" Xie Qingyu picked up his coat from the ground, took out his cell phone and asked.

He had just opened the food delivery app when Leo, who was squatting in the corner, tugged at his clothes: "Brother, can we go out for a nice meal tonight?"

It's okay to eat takeout occasionally, but they have been eating it for a week straight, and he feels like he's about to taste like takeout.

Not only Leo, but the eyes of several others also drifted over here unconsciously, and it was obvious that they were all ready to make a move.

Xie Qingyu raised the end of his eyebrows and put the phone back into his pocket: "What are you waiting for? Let's go now."

It's almost six o'clock, a good time to go out for dinner.

"yeah!!!"

Leo was instantly revived and rushed downstairs to take a shower and change clothes.

Wei Liangchen, who was half dead just now, followed closely behind, and Ding Zai and You Jinzhao were not to be outdone.

Xie Qingyu shook his head and chuckled softly - it seemed like he had really gone crazy from being locked up.

In the blink of an eye, only Gu Yan and Bai Yan were left in the training room and were still relatively stable.

"What do you want to eat?" he asked.

Before the two could answer, Leo's voice came from the corridor downstairs: "We want to eat hot pot! Let's eat barbecue!"

"Second!" Three other voices shouted in succession. It was obvious that they had not gone far and were always paying attention to the movements here.

Xie Qingyu didn't indulge the naughty child. "Inspection tomorrow, eating a calorie bomb tonight? Huh?"

The "hmm" was so powerful that the four people downstairs who were listening with their ears perked up waiting for a reply immediately scattered.

Xie Qingyu's tone made it clear that he was going to deal with the enemy, and anyone who didn't run was a fool.

"Oh, is the pampering period over?" Gu Qie said with a half-smile on the side.

But it would be abnormal if he wasn't sarcastic.

Xie Qingyu glanced at him.

He never interferes with their eating, drinking and having fun, although... okay, he admits that he is mentally older and always looks at his teammates like children, so he can't help but be a little more indulgent, but not to the extent of spoiling them, right?

Is this really how everyone sees it? Xie Qingyu turned around and questioned Bai Tang with her eyes.

Bai Lang lowered his eyes and nodded: "A little."

Even Bai Lang said so, so it might be true.

Xie Qingyu shrugged and walked past the two of them downstairs: "By the way, let's go to the Cantonese restaurant nearby that has a good reputation tonight."

"Why are you asking since everything has been decided?" Gu Qi asked with a smile.

Xie Qingyu stopped and turned around, tilting his head and blinking: "Maybe... this is the legendary tyranny?"

What's wrong with booking a restaurant and then asking? There's no rule that says you can't go through the process.

It's a good opportunity for these two people who said to Cricket in person that he doted on their children too much to see what Xie's dominance really means!

Little did they know how cute this look was in the eyes of others.

Gu Yan and Bai Lang's eyes were filled with smiles. After Xie Qingyu's figure disappeared at the stairs, they didn't even look at each other and walked downstairs one after the other.

The group came to the Cantonese restaurant selected by Xie Qingyu and ordered a table full of signature dishes.

The taste was really good, and with the protective measures in place, the whole meal was safe and satisfying.

The result was that several idiots successfully ate themselves to excess.

"I'm talking about you, and you're still stuffing it into your mouth!"

Gu Qi glared at Wei Liangchen, who was slumped in the chair, with annoyance. It was unheard of for him to be so greedy at such a grown-up.

Xie Qingyu patted Wei Liangchen's drooping head and said, "We can't train right after eating, let alone him. How about we take a walk to digest the food before going back?"

Wei Liangchen was a typical example of someone who was caught in a trap. The others all held their stomachs silently, but he was the one who was shouting the loudest.

Fortunately, it was late and people were hurrying on the street. As long as you didn't pat your chest and shout in the street that you were a star, the probability of being recognized was still very small.

When Xie Qingyu made this suggestion, not only Wei Liangchen, but also the other poor little guys who were secretly rubbing their stomachs breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Qi glanced at Xie Qingyu and said nothing more, which was considered as his tacit consent to this arrangement.

"Hey, is that the night market over there?"

You Jinzhao suddenly pointed to an alley not far away that was full of colorful lanterns.

The alley is filled with various stalls, but strangely enough, there aren't many people around.

However, because there were so few people, Xie Qingyu did not stop them too much, but only reminded them: "Don't buy food."

Gu Zheng added slowly, "Don't take off your mask just because you're having fun."

He no longer had any hope in his teammates' intelligence, especially Wei, who tortured him during the draft and was assigned to the same dormitory after his debut. It was simply unfair.

After Wei Liangchen, You Jinzhao and Ding Zai excitedly rushed into the alley, Leo looked left and right, and finally decided to follow Xie Qingyu and the other three to stroll around slowly.

Xie Qingyu casually glanced at the stalls. Most of the items were snacks and handicrafts, as well as some fresh fruits.

Thinking that the dormitory refrigerator was almost empty, he picked out some fruits that the members liked and bought some.

Alas... Actually, mangoes look very tempting, but it's a pity that Yu Yuzi is destined not to have them.

Gu Yan, Bai Lang and even Leo were strongly opposed to putting mangoes in the refrigerator, for fear that he would eat them secretly.

Inherent prejudice is terrible. Is he that kind of person?

After walking around for a while, the night market gradually became lively.

Even with masks covering their eyes and eyebrows, they still looked like handsome young men with neat hair and a lot of inquiring glances.

After politely declining a passerby who approached them to chat up, Xie Qingyu and his group decided to go home. The alley was too narrow and it would be difficult to escape if they were recognized.

"Wow! Benefactor, you bought so many things! Is this for me? It seems so!"

Wei Liangchen shouted excitedly when getting into the car to sort out the spoils.

Ding was relatively obedient among them, just satisfying his curiosity. Only Wei Liangchen bought a cobblestone to satisfy his craving. Since he couldn't taste anything special anyway, everyone just let him do as he pleased.

On the contrary, Xie Qingyu, who reminded others "not to buy too much", kept buying things himself. Gu Yan and the other two had to carry things behind him, and finally got into the car with a lot of goods.

"Everyone has a share, it's not a wasted trip~" Xie Qingyu leaned his elbows on the car window, holding his chin and smiling.

The night market has limited choices, so he picked out some practical little items. It would be best if his teammates liked them, and they wouldn't be left idle or wasted in public areas.

"This bowl of water is so fair, what one person has, everyone has~"

Gu Yan took out a cartoon fox doll from the bag, glanced at the other gifts, and said half-jokingly.

But there seemed to be some other meaning hidden in the words.

As soon as the words fell, the eyes in the carriage suddenly wandered around, glancing at Xie Qingyu from time to time.

Indeed, not just the dolls, but everything was made in seven copies.

Xie Qingyu blinked innocently: "Am I not being a good parent who is not partial?"

There was a moment of silence in the car, and then laughter broke out:

"You're not even an adult yet, and you want to be our parent?"

"Qingyu, you are so dishonest. It's okay for Leo, but you even want to take advantage of us? You have no respect for your parents!"

"What do you mean by forget it? Explain yourself!"

"You're the youngest, so it's not like you're taking advantage~"

"My brother can say that, but you can't!"

"Jade..."

Seeing Xie Qingyu's words leading the topic to the generational dispute between men, Gu Qi smiled faintly and said nothing.

His eyes inadvertently swept across someone who was also silent, and suddenly he chuckled.

Then he looked at the bright moon hanging high outside the window and sighed in his heart:

It seems that everyone hates this bright moon. Why doesn’t it shine on me alone?
