Chapter 20 The storm started when Chen Xing also turned bad.
The door of the villa opened, and half a meter of sunlight penetrated in. Zheng Qi, who was sitting on the sofa, quickly stood up and greeted the two people who came back: "You are back? We will have dinner soon! Eat and cherish it."
Chen Xing put the things on the dining table, walked over and asked, "What do you mean?"
"We may have to cook for ourselves from now on, you see." Zheng Qi handed the task card to Chen Xing.
Chen Xing opened the task card, and the general content was: After the official shooting, the program team would only provide breakfast, lunch and boxed lunches for the crew. If you wanted to eat at home, you would need to order food in advance and cook it yourself.
If you really don’t want to do it, you can also exchange the ratings for the currency of the finished product at a 1:1 ratio.
Chen Xing had just finished reading the last punctuation mark when a shadow fell over his shoulders.
"Cherish food?"
Xia Huanming took off his hat and stood beside him, bending slightly, and the voice lingered in his ears.
Chen Xing shrank his neck, handed the task card to Xia Huanming, and sat on the sofa.
Xia Huanming stared at Chen Xing, pursed his lips, and asked, holding the task card tightly, "Does anyone here know how to cook?"
"I asked, Pei Ya and I can cook home-cooked dishes, and the other fried rice is of the highest standard." Zheng Qi looked at Chen Xing, "What about you?"
Chen Xing raised his hand cheerfully: "I can fire!"
Zheng Qi: “…”
Xia Huanming: “…”
Chen Xing was afraid of being underestimated, so he continued to explain: "There are also those very simple dishes that I can cook, but they are only to the extent that I can eat them, not suitable for everyone."
Xia Huanming added: "I know. It's the kind of cooking method where you pile all the ingredients into one pot and cook them so you don't have to wash the dishes."
Chen Xing nodded: "Yes, yes, yes!"
Xia Huanming: "That means I won't."
Chen Xing: “…Oh.”
Chen Xing pouted, Zheng Qi laughed a few times and stroked Chen Xing's head to comfort him.
Finally, Xia Huanming posted an announcement in the group, confirming that Zheng Qi, Xia Huanming, and Zheng Peiya would be the chefs, and the rest would do odd jobs, such as washing dishes, wiping tables, and taking out the trash. No one had any objection to this, especially Chen Xing, who had a big appetite, who agreed with it.
After dinner, everyone gathered in the living room to look through the script.
Chen Xing only had that one line, and after he memorized it, he glanced at his colleagues on the sofa, and his gaze finally fell on Xia Huanming, who was a few meters away from them - only Xia Huanming was sitting at the dining table, sitting upright, his eyes a foot away from the script.
The overhead light there is softer and is indeed suitable for reading.
Thinking back to what happened in the afternoon, after Chen Xing said that, he really felt that he had given too many hints, and he was almost about to reveal that he was a fan of Xia Huanming.
He thought that Xia Huanming was so smart that he should be able to understand the meaning of that sentence, and then he said in surprise: "So you are my fan!"
Of course, he is unlikely to say that he is a fan of the brand. At most, he would say the word "fans".
In the end, Xia Huanming didn't even say the word "fan". He just stared at him quietly, then suddenly looked away and said, "Thank you."
Chen Xing was originally worried that Xia Huanming would take special care of him because of this matter, which would put too much pressure on him. Later, he found that this worry was unnecessary.
Xia Huanming's attitude towards him remained the same, as if the conversation had never taken place. During dinner, he continued to pick up food, chat, and throw away trash as usual. He chatted a few words, and Xia Huanming echoed them, maintaining a proper sense of distance.
Before going to bed, Chen Xing took a shower. When he came out, Xia Huanming was taking out a box of medicine from the drawer.
Xia Huanming paused for a moment, then continued to feed it. After finishing, he put it back in the drawer and smiled, "That's good. I don't need to carry you around to take medicine anymore."
The light from the bedroom softened Xia Huanming's outline, making his features look less sharp and more humble.
Chen Xing walked in front of Xia Huanming, and the velvety gray shadow gradually covered Xia Huanming's body.
He tilted his head and asked, "Since I know about this, it shouldn't be a secret, right? Is there any need to hide it?"
Xia Huanming looked up at him and said, "They only know that I have insomnia, but they don't know that I take medicine. I don't want to report this to the production team, for fear that they will make up a story to gain sympathy."
"Okay, I promise not to tell anyone." Chen Xing held up four fingers and swore, "I'm very tight-lipped."
Xia Huanming nodded: "I believe you."
Chen Xing is really trustworthy.
When they were in college, the drummer of their band came to the club late at night to practice singing secretly. The student union who was passing by heard it and thought there was a ghost sawing the door, so they posted it on the campus forum.
Later, the drummer confessed to Chen Xing that he wanted to practice secretly to surprise everyone. Chen Xing did not mention this to anyone until he graduated from college.
Why did Chen Xing suddenly think of this?
Because he had just finished chatting with Xia Huanming and was lying on the bed, and the next second he found that the tutor mentioned this matter in the band group, saying that this incident has become a legendary ghost story on campus, and the version has been updated to "singing will become very nice after being possessed by that ghost."
Everyone else in the group was joking, only the drummer and Chen Xing sent two strings of ellipsis.
[Sister Fangfang]: There are still people spreading this matter on the campus wall, and it has been several years. These kids are really capable of fabricating things.
[Invincible lead singer-Cai Cai]: If there is such a ghost, I suggest everyone get one, @傲娇吉他-领队
【Tsundere Keyboard-Leading Team】: Died of laughter, getting more and more outrageous
【Genius drummer-Fang Panda】:……
【Mascot Guitar-theo】:……
Chen Xing looked at the leaders of the team and just wanted to say that these people were really lazy.
So many years have passed, but the nicknames in the group haven't changed at all, and they're still so childish.
[Genius drummer-Fang Panda]: It's actually a wild Xingxing? Catch
【Mascot Guitar-theo】: (≧u≦*) Hehe!
【Tsundere Keyboard-Leading Team】: Touch the head first (not
【Social Anxiety Bass-vito】: Xingbao, long time no see? What have you been doing recently? Want to have dinner with me?
[Invincible lead singer-Cai Cai]: He wasn’t available when I asked him out, so how could you possibly get him out?
[Socially anxious bass-vito]: Tsk, I miss the time when I drank with Xingbao. Now no one in my company can compete with me. It's not fun.
【Mascot guitar-theo】: Let’s meet when we are free! (*oωo)
[Invincible lead singer-Cai Cai]: Our ability to drink is improved by you two, right?
[The invincible lead singer-Cai Cai]: No more chatting, I’m going to start the live broadcast.
[Tsundere Keyboard-Leading the Team]: I also boarded my Governor to support Zhu Bo
【Mascot Guitar-theo】: I'm going too -v-
Chen Xing also followed Cai Cai to her live broadcast room and stayed there until 11 o'clock in the evening. He turned off his phone and went to bed on time.
So when he woke up the next day, Chen Xing, who had slept for eight hours, was full of energy.
When Xia Huanming, who came to call him, found that Chen Xing had already changed his clothes, he was obviously surprised and paused, but his tone was calm: "It seems that going to bed early yesterday was indeed beneficial."
Chen Xing put his hands on his hips and raised his chin proudly: "Because I guessed that you were going to wake me up."
Xia Huanming was still dressed simply, wearing a black hat and short-sleeved shirt with the shoulder line falling just right, making his shoulders look broad. The funny thing was that even though Chen Xing was wearing an extremely loose and hard coat, his shoulders were still not as broad as Xia Huanming's.
Chen Xing secretly swore in his heart that sooner or later he would become a muscular man and be able to carry a person with one hand.
While having breakfast, the program team issued task cards to everyone. In addition to today's process of "setting the makeup", everyone also has a hidden task. If someone succeeds, then that person will have a chance to draw a lottery, and the lottery opportunities can be stacked.
The task Chen Xing received was: "Before 21:00, put a specific item into a teammate's belongings, such as: clothing pocket, school bag, etc. (If it is thrown away before 21:00, it will be considered a failure). Item: toothpick box."
Chen Xing glanced at the toothpick box on the table that was as big as his palm.
The headphone box can be explained, just ask for help in keeping it, but what about the toothpick box?
Chen Xing looked at the task card again and said thoughtfully: "It doesn't say that we can't help each other, right? Then why don't we help each other?"
Xia Huanming agreed calmly: "That's right, there is no rule of 'cannot be discovered'."
Everyone checked the words again, and one after another they suddenly understood.
Xue Si Nian said happily: "Oh, that's right, I didn't notice it until you told me, I thought it was a bug. Then it's easy now."
Zheng Peiya was more serious and asked worriedly, "That's not good. Isn't it a hidden task? Could it be that they deliberately didn't write it down so that we can make a mistake?"
Zhao Xingyu thought for a moment, pointed at the group of people squatting in the corner and said, "How about threatening the production team and see if they will say anything?"
Wang Baiyue was the first to agree. He was already rubbing his hands together, cracking his fingers to make bones crack. “I’ll do it. The assistant director is not here, so we can only threaten the photographer.”
Photographers: “?”
No, what's their business?
The photographers hesitated for a few seconds between protecting the camera and protecting their own safety, but finally chose to protect the camera and stood firmly in their positions. However, none of these strong men dared to look Wang Baiyue in the eye.
After all, Wang Baiyue with a shaved head is invincible when it comes to playing villains. Even the portrait on the wanted poster doesn’t look as much like a villain as he does.
Wang Baiyue glanced around sharply and directly caught the big brother who took the Coke, and said to the camera: "Big brother, are you going to tell me? If you don't tell me, I will... I will cry in front of you."
The photographer shook his head vigorously, indicating that he didn't know clearly.
Xue Si Nian complained on the spot: "I give up... How can someone threaten me so cowardly?"
Wang Baiyue turned around and said, "Then you come?"
Xue Si Nian shook her head and said softly, "I am a good youth and I don't threaten others."
Zhao Xingyu appeared with righteousness, pointed at Wang Baiyue and said: "Wang Baiyue, what's wrong with you? You're threatening others, you're so mean~"
Wang Baiyue: “……?”
Before Wang Baiyue rushed over, Xue Si Nian and Zhao Xingyu quickly hid behind Chen Xing.
Chen Xing was pushed forward two steps and gave Wang Baiyue a business smile.
This scene made Wang Baiyue laugh. He was so angry that he pointed at Zhao Xingyu and scolded him, "No, you should at least hide behind someone who can cover you, right? It's better for you to hide behind Brother Qi or Ah Huan than behind him, right?"
Chen Xing looked over and saw even the photographer was nodding.
Forget about Xue Si Nian, but Zhao Xingyu had half of his head exposed, like an ostrich hiding from a stone. It was simply an attempt to cover up his own faults.
Zhao Xingyu chuckled twice: "If I hide behind Xia Huanming, he will definitely sell me out."
Chen Xing turned his head and looked at Xia Huanming, who answered without hesitation, "I will go directly."
Zhao Xingyu put his hands on Chen Xing's shoulders and said proudly: "Just look! I told you!"
Wang Baiyue: "What are you so proud of?"
Zhao Xingyu stuck out his tongue proudly.
At this moment, Chen Xing, who had not said a word, took a big step to the left in front of everyone and made a polite gesture: "Brother Yue, please."
Wang Baiyue: “!”
The two people who were still showing off a second ago: "???"
