Chapter 275 World Tour 16.0

Once the burden in your heart is lifted, time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, the final show of the overseas tour has come to an end. After several months of world tour, the only additional show left is in Yun City.

The trajectory of fate is gradually overlapping with the timeline in memory...

"Sapphire? Sapphire!"

You Jinchao knocked lightly on Xie Qingyu's door, but no one answered, which made him feel puzzled.

Gu Zheng came over upon hearing the sound, "Have you not adjusted to the time difference yet?"

They only returned to the dormitory yesterday afternoon, and were temporarily relocated to this hotel near the performance venue due to venue reasons.

After a simple dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

But at this moment, the watch hands were approaching ten o'clock. According to Xie Qingyu's usual style, he should never keep everyone waiting for too long.

After all, they had agreed in advance to go to the reserved practice room for rehearsal.

Seeing that the two men were unable to summon Xie Qingyu, the other members gathered around with some concern.

Bai Lang asked, "Still no response?" His voice was filled with anxiety.

Everyone took turns knocking on the door, but the room remained as quiet as before.

As they looked at each other, someone took a half step back, preparing to break in.

Just as Bai Lang was gathering strength to kick, the door suddenly opened and he hurriedly stopped.

"Brother, why didn't you say anything?! I was scared to death!"

Leo's eyes turned red with anxiety, and he immediately stepped forward to carefully examine Xie Qingyu's condition.

Xie Qingyu's eyes swept across everyone's concerned faces, he took a deep breath, and raised the corners of his lips in his usual arc: "Sorry, I made everyone worried."

Although his voice was as steady as usual, his attentive companions still noticed something strange from his tense jawline and the wet water droplets on the ends of his hair.

Gu Qi walked straight forward and placed his palm on Xie Qingyu's forehead.

You may have just splashed cold water on your face, so your skin feels cold and it's hard to judge your body temperature.

"There's a thermometer in the suite's medicine box!" Ding Zai reacted quickly upon seeing this. He immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the locker in the living room.

Wei Liangchen frowned: "Benefactor, are you feeling unwell?"

Xie Qingyu pursed her slightly pale lips and finally nodded gently: "I didn't sleep well last night."

Because they are a team, if something goes wrong with him, his teammates will also be affected, so he doesn't want to hide it from everyone.

I was trapped in a bizarre dream the whole night yesterday. In a trance, I seemed to be back to that node that I couldn't escape.

The alarm in my subconscious was sharp and piercing, my body felt heavy as if filled with lead, and my consciousness was torn between wakefulness and drowsiness.

I want to wake up, but I can't open my eyes.

I wanted to sleep, but was held back by an invisible fear.

Until just now, he woke up from a nightmare, stumbled into the bathroom, and slapped his cheeks with cold water again and again, trying to wake himself up completely.

For the first time in his life, Xie Qingyu didn't know how to deal with such an instinctive reaction.

A feeling of weakness washed over my limbs and bones like a tide, and even my breathing became sluggish.

"Go to the living room and wait for me for two minutes," he forced a smile. "I'll change my clothes, it'll be quick."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the room.

You Jinzhao looked at his back and lowered his voice: "Didn't it get better some time ago? Why does it look worse today?"

They have always known that Xie Qingyu's mental state is sometimes good and sometimes bad.

On weekdays, everyone always finds some light-hearted topics to try not to make him worry too much.

But the situation today is obviously different.

If sentiment had a numerical value, it would have fallen directly from the midline to a dangerous bottom.

When Xie Qingyu said "very quickly", it really was very fast.

He casually pulled out a white T-shirt from his suitcase, paired it with wide-leg shorts of the same color, packed his backpack neatly, smoothed his hair, and put on his baseball cap, all in one go.

From meals to training, he acted as if everything was normal.

They joke when they should, discuss when they should, and even proactively put forward ideas without showing any signs of fatigue.

But the more this happens, the more worrying it is.

It was not until he returned to the hotel at night, washed up, changed into pajamas and lay down on the bed that Xie Qingyu finally let go of the energy he had been holding on for the whole day.

He raised his pillow, leaned against the head of the bed, and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

He...didn't dare to sleep.

The fatigue he felt while asleep was even worse than when he was awake, and what frightened him even more was that

——He was afraid that once he closed his eyes, he would never wake up again.

"My benefactor, are you asleep?" Wei Liangchen suddenly knocked on the door with a long drawl, and his tone was deliberately strange.

Xie Qingyu suddenly came back to his senses and subconsciously replied, "Not yet." When he stood up, he found that his fingertips were slightly cold. He steadied his breathing before opening the door.

"How..." The question stopped abruptly as it began.

Wei Liangchen, who was holding a pillow at the door, was winking at him, and behind him were a group of teammates who were also holding their pillows.

Before he could react, the group of people had already filed in. Gu Yan, who was walking at the end, even locked the door.

The scene before him stunned him.

Bai Lang and Leo were swiftly moving the quilt from his bed to the sofa, while You Jinzhao and Ding Zai had already laid out six pillows horizontally.

His pillow was placed solemnly in the center, like some kind of ritual arrangement.

Seeing that they were about to lie down on the bed, Xie Qingyu quickly stopped them, "Wait... why are you all here?"

He is a little confused now.

Wei Liangchen, as the representative of the most shameless, strode over directly, grabbed his hand with his warm palm and pressed him to sit on the edge of the bed without any refusal.

"Poor sleep is mostly caused by an idle mind."

Wei Liangchen shook his finger confidently, "We'll chat with you until you fall asleep."

You Jinzhao, who always disagreed with him, actually nodded in agreement: "If we really can't hold on any longer, we can just stay up all night and see who gives up first."

Playing games for several nights in a row is no problem, and everyone is an expert at staying up late. Besides, there are six of them. Are they afraid that Xie Qingyu won't be able to sleep?

Xie Qingyu looked at the six eager faces. Although he was touched, he couldn't help but look at the obviously overloaded bed: "How can we sleep here?"

Before he could make up for it, the six of them had already arranged the order in which they would lie down to sleep, strictly according to their rankings.

Ding Zai, who was lying down last, picked up the quilt on the sofa and covered the pile of people with it, making it completely covered. He then crawled into the bed from the side.

Xie Qingyu lay in the middle, and six heads turned to him, saying in unison: "Isn't it time to go to bed?"

Gu Yan and Bai Lang's breathing was so close to his ears that Xie Qingyu unconsciously shrank his neck.

He moved his feet exposed outside the quilt, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Finally, he said helplessly: "You... don't you feel your feet are cold?"

Although the horizontal lying position could barely fit seven people, several tall and long-legged boys hung over the edge of the bed from their calves down, much like a row of sausages drying under the eaves.

Xie Qingyu's feet curled up unconsciously, and she felt a cool breeze flowing along the soles of her feet and into the gaps between her bones.

Leo swung his dangling feet, rarely not standing on Xie Qingyu's side: "It's midsummer now, it's so cool to have your feet exposed outside, it's a good time to turn on the air conditioning~"

"That's right, and there are no mosquitoes in the hotel, so you don't have to worry about being bitten, Qingyu." Ding Zai supported his eldest son Leo.

Xie Qingyu hesitated: "What if I catch a cold..."

Bai Lang quickly suggested, "How about turning up the air conditioner temperature?"

As soon as he said this, he met Xie Qingyu's gloomy gaze as she turned her head away. He couldn't hold out for more than two seconds before pursing his lips and turning his face away.

"Okay, let's not talk about the cold for now," Xie Qingyu slowly bent her legs and tucked her feet back into the quilt. "Don't you feel a chill on your back with your feet hanging out?"

Anyway, he felt quite insecure. The air conditioner was on, his feet were exposed, and a cool breeze blew over him from time to time.

Xie Qingyu lowered his voice and added meaningfully, "It's like a hand might reach out from under the bed at any time..."

Before he finished speaking, several people who were still arguing suddenly fell silent.

There was a rustling sound in the darkness.

He just silently bent his legs and tucked his feet back into the quilt.

Xie Qingyu raised an eyebrow: "Weren't you quite eloquent just now?"

What are you afraid of? You are all so brave, why would you be afraid of such a little thrill?

"Ahem...how about we move the sofa over here and get the bed and quilt from the next room to use as a cushion?"

Gu Qiong coughed twice, with a rare embarrassment in his tone.

"I think it's okay." Except for Xie Qingyu, the other members agreed.

Just do it.

With the light still on, several people began to renovate the bedroom in a hurry.

The sofa was pushed to the side of the bed, Leo ran to the next room to get a spare quilt, and Wei Liangchen knelt on the ground and carefully tucked in the corners of the quilt.

Xie Qingyu sat on the bed, looking at the room that had become a mess in an instant, he sighed deeply, lay down resignedly, and pulled the quilt over his head.

After the lights went out, Gu Qie quietly approached and gently pulled the corner of the quilt covering his face: "Are you asleep?"

A muffled response came from under the covers: "Dead."

"Oh, my benefactor, you are such a joker."

Wei Liangchen pulled the quilt upwards. “It’s so suffocating to cover myself like this. What if someone farts in the quilt? Then—Ah!”

Before he could finish his words, You Jinzhao slapped him on the chest, causing him to grimace in pain: "Why are you hitting me?"

Just telling the truth, who doesn't fart?

Xie Qingyu suddenly threw back the quilt and laughed briefly in the darkness: "Listen up, everyone, if anyone wants to fart, hold it in and go to the toilet. Otherwise..."

The last word rose dangerously, and the rest of the words turned into a meaningful snort.

All six of them felt a chill down their spines.

"Supplementary clause," Gu Qi continued, suppressing a laugh, "Idols are forbidden from talking about shit, piss, or farts!"

How many times has he stressed this? Still no change!

Wei Liangchen grumbled aggrievedly, "So this rule is targeting me? Haven't any of you said that? If you're going to set rules, why not set the whole set?"

"It's always you who started it all?" Five voices rang out simultaneously, remarkably loud in the darkness.

Xie Qingyu really didn't want to dwell on this topic any further, so he changed the subject and asked, "Did you feel any pain after this rehearsal?"

When this was mentioned, Wei Liangchen suddenly became energetic and subconsciously wanted to pat his chest to show off, but suddenly realized that no one could see his movements after the lights were turned off, so he had to lower his voice and said proudly:

"That's not the case. Now I have cultivated an indestructible body!"

"Oh?" Xie Qingyu said softly, "Then let me get a hammer and try it?"

Suddenly, bursts of suppressed laughter rang out in the darkness.

Wei Liangchen immediately crossed his arms over his chest and shrank into the quilt cautiously: "Benefactor, what do you want to do?"

"Of course, I want to see the legendary indestructible body of Vajra~"

Xie Qingyu's drawn-out tone caused Wei Liangchen's chest to ache inexplicably. "After all, I haven't seen it in real life."

"Benefactor!" Wei Liangchen wailed exaggeratedly, his fake tears devoid of sincerity, "You...you don't love me anymore!"

Xie Qingyu finally couldn't help laughing out loud: "I only use a hammer because I love you, otherwise I should go downstairs and move some rocks to play with my chest and break rocks."

"Ahhh, if you want my life, just take it. Why bother with all this trouble?"

Joyful laughter echoed in the room.

After their eyes adjusted to the darkness, with the dim light filtering through the gaps in the curtains, everyone started chatting idly, their thoughts running wild, talking about whatever they wanted.

Gradually, the yawns began to appear one after another, as if they were contagious.

Xie Qingyu raised his hand and passed through the faint beam of light. In his peripheral vision, the outlines of his teammates intertwined into a dense and warm net in the darkness.

The haze that was hovering in my mind seemed to be dispelled a little by this noisy warmth.

Sleepiness came like a tide... The room finally became quiet.

After an unknown amount of time, someone asked softly, "Is Qingyu asleep?"

"Looks like he fell asleep." Another person responded in a low voice.

"Go to bed quickly, you don't have to get up early tomorrow to adjust to the jet lag," someone reminded.

"Oh, then...goodnight?"

Several breathy voices sounded at the same time: "Good night."

In the darkness, Xie Qingyu's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corners of her lips curled up in an almost imperceptible arc.

Good night~
