Chapter 57 Summer Solstice (Two in One) Do you want to drink?
Guoguo led Chen Xing to his parents, took out a gift box from her bag, held it up and handed it to Chen Xing: "This is for you."
Chen Xing took it and weighed it. He felt that it was light and fluffy. It shouldn't be something valuable, right?
As he thought about this, he squatted down to look at Guo Guo at eye level and asked gently, "Can I open it and take a look now?"
"Sure!" Guoguo looked at him with sparkling eyes. She must have been a little nervous as she kept holding on to her cartoon clothes.
Chen Xing carefully opened the package, and inside the box lay a hand-woven bracelet.
There are a few small flowers dotted among the plastic pearls, and the stitching is so delicate that it is obviously the work of a child.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Chen Xing exclaimed, taking the bracelet in his hand and looking at it carefully, "Why did you think of giving me a bracelet?"
Guoguo blinked and said, "Because Brother Xingxing is as beautiful as a flower—"
Chen Xing was so delighted by the compliment that he said bluntly, "Guo Guo really has good taste!"
Guoguo showed his teeth happily and high-fived Chen Xing.
Ms. Qian at the side said nervously: "Is it too feminine? If you don't like it, you don't have to accept it."
"How could that be?" Chen Xing smiled and shook his head, holding up the bracelet to the light. The small flower was shining beautifully. "No one said that boys can't wear bracelets, and this color combination is really beautiful. I like it very much."
Ms. Qian's tense shoulders visibly relaxed: "Since you said so, I feel relieved. I wish you a smooth finish today."
Seeing that Chen Xing liked it, Guo Guo proudly put her hands on her hips and said, "Xiao Xia said that you like things you make. I made this myself."
Chen Xing was stunned for a moment: "Brother Xiao Xia? Brother Xia Huanming?"
Guo Guo nodded heavily: "Yes."
A trace of doubt arose in Chen Xing's heart.
I haven’t seen any interaction between these two people since the filming began. How did they start chatting?
Ms. Qian noticed his pause and helped explain, "I came late the other day, so Actor Xia helped take care of Guoguo."
"No wonder, he is indeed a very enthusiastic and kind person," Chen Xing put the bracelet back into the box and tapped the box with his fingertips, "Thank you, I will keep it well."
"We should thank you," Ms. Qian stroked Guoguo's hair gently, "Guoguo has always been quiet and has no energy to do anything. She wasn't very happy when she was chosen to film. Only you are willing to play with her. These few days are the times when she smiles the most."
Chen Xing felt warm at heart, and seeing that there was still plenty of time, he suggested that the three of them take a group photo.
Ms. Qian picked up Guoguo, and Chen Xing took Ms. Qian's mobile phone, adjusted the angle, and captured the picture of the three of them in the same frame.
Ms. Qian looked through the photos and smiled: "If I didn't tell my husband that this was you, he would have thought it was some new actress."
Chen Xing exchanged a few more pleasantries and then left them. He went back to the lounge, put the small gift box in his coat pocket, and then returned to the shooting location.
Although Director Yu had seen Chen Xing's makeup photos, he was still a little surprised when he saw the real person, and kept praising Chen Xing for her beauty.
This scene is about everyone planning to capture the suspect.
When "Chen Xing" who had just changed his clothes pushed the door open and walked in, the lively discussion came to an abrupt end. Everyone turned their heads at once, their eyes widened, and the expressions on their faces were even more exaggerated than when they met in the bathroom just now.
"Puff——" The water that Zhao Xingyu had just drunk sprayed out and flowed down his chin.
Wang Baiyue took out a napkin expressionlessly and put it on Zhao Xingyu's face.
Chen Xing almost burst out laughing, but he coughed to calm himself down and began to speak his lines: "How about this, can we conceal the truth?"
Before he finished speaking, Xia Huanming had already taken a few steps in front of him, gently pinched his chin with his fingers, and looked at his face from left to right.
"Oh my god, I almost didn't recognize you." He said it as lightly as a feather.
Chen Xing could clearly feel the warmth of the other person's fingertips, and the gaze that was deeper than usual, with the word "like" undercurrent surging in it.
Combined with Xia Huanming's stunned state when he saw him, in just three seconds, Chen Xing had a flash of inspiration and came to the conclusion:
Xia Huanming likes long straight black hair.
Chen Xing chuckled in his heart.
He found out, didn't he?! Let's see how he teases Xia Huanming after he's done!
Chen Xing suppressed his laughter, broke away from Xia Huanming's fingers, sat on the chair and said casually: "We will act according to the plan when the time comes."
Xia Huanming's eyes continued to follow him as the other actors continued their lines.
This scene was shot perfectly, and Director Yu later added two more cameras to capture panoramic and close-up shots.
Twenty minutes later, the indoor shooting was completed and the outdoor shooting began.
The location for the exterior shoot was a narrow alley with low-rise houses on both sides and mottled marks on the walls. Electric poles stood crookedly on both sides of the alley, and when you looked up, you could see the huge crisscrossing power grid under the orange-red sky.
There are several dilapidated computer cases piled up in the corner of the alley. The outer shells are rusty, as if they have been abandoned for a long time and blend in with the surrounding environment.
While waiting, the actors took off their cotton coats and the staff brought in large fans, otherwise they would have gotten sick from the stuffiness.
Chen Xing sat on a bench in a small corner, looking at his phone. Xia Huanming sat down beside him, holding his coat. His long legs could only be bent in the cramped space.
Xia Huanming seemed extremely tired. He rested his head lightly against the yellowed low wall, his eyelids drooped, and his breathing gradually became steady.
Chen Xing originally wanted to tease Xia Huanming about his long straight black hair, but seeing that he was so sleepy, he thought better of it.
Chen Xing turned the volume of his phone to the lowest level and started watching the pantomime.
As he watched, Chen Xing's head suddenly sank. It turned out that Xia Huanming's head was gently resting on his head.
Xia Huanming's slightly tilted shoulders were almost completely pressed against his side.
"Wake up." Xia Huanming's breath brushed past his ears, and Chen Xing could clearly smell the scent of late jade and jasmine on Xia Huanming's body.
Chen Xing's eyes were still fixed on the phone screen, and he answered casually, "Hmm?"
Xia Huanming lowered his voice and asked, "Do you like someone like Shao Shuxian?"
???
Chen Xing was almost unable to hold his phone steady when it was struck by lightning: What the hell? ?
Chen Xing moved aside, away from Xia Huanming.
Xia Huanming still maintained that posture, but he raised his eyelids, and a sinister light reflected in his pupils, as if he could see through Chen Xing completely.
Chen Xing looked around, and finally pointed at himself, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone: "Me?"
Xia Huanming looked at him solemnly: "Yes."
Chen Xing was stunned and replied: "Who spread the rumor? It doesn't sound as convincing as your preference for black straight hair, okay?"
Now it was Xia Huanming's turn to be stunned: "Black, straight and long? What do I like about black, straight and long?"
"Don't pretend, don't you like long straight black hair like this?" Chen Xing smoothed his long hair and puffed out his chest confidently, "When you looked at me before, including the expression on your face when I was acting, it was obvious that you like this type! Stop pretending!"
Xia Huanming: “…”
Xia Huanming held his forehead with his hand, and said helplessly: "It seems that there are two misunderstandings between us."
He pulled Chen Xing's arm and motioned Chen Xing to sit back down.
As soon as Chen Xing moved back, he heard Xia Huanming say, "Let's talk about your misunderstanding first. Zhao Xingyu said that you like quiet people like Shao Shuxian who have a height difference. Is that false?"
When Chen Xing heard the name Zhao Xingyu, he knew why Xia Huanming had misunderstood.
He explained himself seriously: "Xingyu was playing galgame at the time, the game where you interact with beautiful girls. He asked me which one I liked. I gave a few very basic requirements, such as good personality, good looks, and height difference."
Xia Huanming looked at him thoughtfully, then said slowly, "So that request may not be correct?"
"You can say that, right?" Chen Xing scratched his chin. He was a little embarrassed to tell others about his ideal type. "I prefer those who are good-looking and have good personalities."
"She also needs to have a good figure." Xia Huanming helped him add the last point.
"Um... yes, you can say that." Chen Xing looked a little embarrassed.
In fact, having a good figure is not the most important thing. The most important thing is: you cannot be a straight man.
But at the time he felt that there was no need to tell Zhao Xingyu about this, so he didn't mention it.
I didn't expect things to turn out so outrageous, that he actually likes Shao Shuxian? !
Chen Xing's misunderstanding was resolved, and he turned to ask Xia Huanming, who was obviously relaxed: "What about you? You don't like long straight black hair, so you like wavy hair?"
"As for me..." Xia Huanming stretched out his legs, his left hand casually resting on his knee, while his right hand unconsciously wrapped around the end of Chen Xing's wig, letting the hair entangle between his fingers, "I look at the person. I like the style of that person."
Chen Xing blinked and teased him deliberately: "What if the other person is bald? Would you like that too?"
Xia Huanming was silent for a moment, then he lowered his head and chuckled, "As long as it's 'her', I'll like her no matter what she looks like."
Chen Xing raised his eyes and looked at the face with clear outlines.
The orange-yellow sunset glow shone through the narrow alley, slanting onto Xia Huanming's white clothes. The fabric looked exceptionally soft under the light, vaguely outlining the lines of his shoulders and back.
With such a "boss" face and figure, he said such innocent words.
Chen Xing clicked his tongue twice in his heart.
He just hoped that after the show was over, Xia Huanming would remember his friend and not block him when the official announcement was made. He wanted to see what kind of girl Xia Huanming would like.
"Give me a light replacement!"
The silence was broken by the shouts of the stagehands in the distance.
Chen Xing nudged Xia Huanming's elbow and asked him, "What is a light replacement?"
Xia Huanming pointed at the lampshade in the distance and said in a low voice: "Lighting double, you see we need to set up the lighting positions now, but the actors are not available, so we need someone else to light the positions. No need to do any actions."
So it's just standing there?
That's easy.
"Then I'll do it!" Chen Xing stood up suddenly.
Xia Huanming stood still, his eyes fixed on the end of his hair that slipped through his fingers.
After Chen Xing left, he slowly stood up and walked to the lighting technician.
The lighting engineer brought in two soft lights, and the silver-white stands stood firmly on the ground, pointing in the direction of Chen Xing. The other two staff members stepped on the ladder to adjust the follow-spots.
Following the assistant director's request, Chen Xing stood at the entrance of the alley and walked slowly forward, with the lights following him all the way.
A few minutes later, the lighting technician said "It's OK", the assistant director asked Chen Xing to return to his seat, and Director Yu directed the start of filming.
The few people who were originally discussing what to eat in the evening, got into the game the moment they heard the sound of the board being hit and started a chase.
This chase and fight scene was filmed seven times. Chen Xing watched the sky darken and the blazing red fire turned into a steady twilight.
Today's filming ended at 8:40, and Chen Xing also officially finished filming at 8:40.
After returning to the dormitory, if Xue Si Nian hadn't reminded them that the first episode had already been aired, they would have been so busy that they would have forgotten about it.
Chen Xing and Zhao Xingyu were responsible for getting snacks, Xia Huanming, Wang Baiyue, and Zheng Qi were responsible for getting chairs and lazy sofas, and Xue Si Nian and Zheng Peiya were responsible for drinks.
Several people rushed into Zhao Xingyu's room, just like they had been there dozens of times before. They found a seat and sat down without any arrangement.
Chen Xing was still sitting in his old seat, with Xia Huanming next to him.
Since Xia Huanming was tall and strong, there was no one next to him. All the people were piled up on Chen Xing's left.
Xue Si Nian held Zheng Pei Ya's arm and commented on Zhao Xingyu's room: "This is probably the busiest time your room has ever been."
Zhao Xingyu said: "The fun is yet to come!"
After saying that, Zhao Xingyu turned on the TV and started playing the program.
The first episode did not have as much real-life content as they had imagined, probably because the production team was afraid that too much real-life content would affect the audience's perception of the actors, so a lot of real-life content was put in the behind-the-scenes highlights, and the main film was the part where they learned acting in class.
Xia Huanming was looking forward to this episode because he could finally know what the performance was that made Zhao Xingyu and Wang Baiyue laugh so hard that their stomachs hurt.
After the first group chose a name, the camera turned to their group.
Due to time constraints, the production team sped up the time they spent discussing the name, and complained in small print below: "Who would have thought that this group of people would spend nearly 40 minutes coming up with an abstract name? The assistant director is devastated."
The comments are almost making me die of laughter.
[It took forty minutes hahahahahahahaha]
[Ahhh, I'm dying of laughter. Why is it so abstract? ]
[I give up... The last live broadcast trending search said this group of abstract results were praising them, right? ]
[Who is competing in abstraction? I am dying of laughter.]
Wang Baiyue shook his head and said, "Haha, you will know who is more abstract later."
Several people thought of the name of Shen Miao Group and nodded involuntarily.
The show continues to play.
After that, everyone told their own stories, and finally it was Chen Xing’s turn. After Chen Xing finished speaking, they decided that “the lunch box had no lid.”
Countless question marks floated across the barrage when they took the photo.
[? This is what you chose? Is it so abstract?]
【I want to know which director it is!!】
[Chen Xing is so funny, I can’t stand it]
[I’ll come back to spoil the story later, this group is actually the second most abstract…]
[Yes, there is someone else in the abstract]
【This is not the first one? ? 】
“Hahahahahaha,” Zhao Xingyu lay on the bed and laughed so hard that he couldn’t straighten his back. “I can’t take it anymore. I found your story funny again, Xiaozhu! I really want to play it again.”
Chen Xing curled his lips: "Just don't whip the corpse!"
Zhao Xingyu laughed even more happily.
Zheng Peiya looked at Chen Xing and said, "Xiaozhu is going to be on the hot search again."
"Not really..." Chen Xing said this, but when he thought of the two trending searches last time, he still felt a little unsure.
Under everyone's attention, Chen Xing opened his mobile phone and clicked on the hot search on Weibo. #陈兴盒饭# appeared at the 20th place.
Chen Xing: “…”
When I clicked in, I saw that everyone was @陈醒, asking him who the director sitting on the lunch box was.
Except for Chen Xing, the names of all groups became hot searches, especially "Lunch box without lid" and "This performance ends here", one ranked fourth and the other ranked second.
Netizens commented on this: There is no high or low level of abstraction.
When Chen Xing saw this, the TV was broadcasting Shen Miao's group naming.
Seven girls sat around the dining table, each with a serious look on their face. Only the light in the middle illuminated the center of the table.
Shen Miao slammed the table and said, "No, there will definitely be people who will do abstract things. We must not be outdone."
Huang Canni nodded: "Yes, if we want to do it, we must do it to the best of our ability!"
【Family, the heavyweights are coming】
【To come to force】
【The naming genius is here】
[It turns out that some people really do abstract things. I wrongly blamed the lunch box for not having a lid. I’m sorry]
[Is it too late to apologize for not covering the lunch box? 】
The discussion patterns of the two groups are actually similar. They both brainstorm and start off serious, but become more and more abstract in the later stages.
Finally Jiang Ke said: "Let's call this performance to an end."
[Is she a genius? ]
[I’m convinced! I’m dying of laughter]
【It’s so hard for her! 】
[Is it difficult for her? ]
【Not the end】
Shen Miao naturally liked this name. She could see her happiness through the screen. She sat cross-legged on the chair and then gave a bad idea: "Tell others that it's a homophonic pun, so as not to spoil the story."
The others nodded: "Okay."
Zheng Qi suddenly realized: "No wonder I said it was a pun when I asked that day."
Chen Xing tilted his head and asked, "Which day?"
"The day we went to their place for group reading," Xia Huanming replied while touching Chen Xing's hair.
Chen Xing let out a long "Oh" and continued watching TV, allowing Xia Huanming to touch his head.
Because of his indulgence, this hand was never put down afterwards, at most it just went down to pinch the back of the neck.
After each group has finished naming themselves, the scene switches to the next day.
Part of the content that was read was fast-forwarded and omitted, and put in the "extra update" that members can see, and the barrage of comments was wailing.
However, these wails disappeared after the mentors appeared, and they all turned into praises for the mentors for being handsome and beautiful.
After seeing Gu Yirou appear, Xue Si Nian and Zheng Peiya held hands and sighed that she was worthy of being a star and was so beautiful.
Everyone else was discussing the mentors' temperaments, but Xia Huanming remained silent because his attention was focused on the contestants sitting on the floor - especially the blurry little man in the upper right corner of the screen.
Xia Huanming recognized at a glance that they were Qi Yinrui and Chen Xing, and his face darkened.
Why is Qi Yinrui sitting next to Chen Xing again? Doesn't he have his own team?
After the two chatted for a few sentences, Chen Xing suddenly turned his back to Qi Yinrui. Qi Yinrui seemed to be holding something in his hand. Zhao Xingyu and Wang Baiyue also laughed.
Even now, Chen Xing was chatting enthusiastically with Xue Si Nian, leaving only the back of his head to him.
"I also think that Teacher Gu's red carpet episode was beautiful."
"The big red flower suits her so well, it's totally extraordinary."
Xia Huanming felt depressed and pinched Chen Xing's earlobe in revenge, using a little force, but only the strength of a massage.
Chen Xing still felt it, stopped talking to Xue Si Nian, came over, blinked his eyes, and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"
Xia Huanming glanced at Chen Xing casually and replied softly: "...Do you want to eat jelly?"
Xia Huanming's tone was too natural, so Chen Xing naturally didn't think much of it. He shook his head and said, "You eat first. I'll eat the potato chips in my hand first. Thank you."
After saying that, he grabbed a handful of potato chips and stuffed them into his mouth.
After a brief commercial transition, four big words "First Lesson" appeared in the center of the screen.
The two parties, Zhao Xingyu and Wang Baiyue, immediately sat up straight.
Wang Baiyue grabbed Chen Xing's arm and said, "It's coming! It's coming! Xiaozhu, your famous scene is coming."
"This is really hilarious," Zhao Xingyu quickly reminded Xue Si Nian who was drinking a beverage, "Xue Si Nian, don't drink the water yet, be careful or it will spit out."
Zheng Peiya asked doubtfully, "Is it so serious?"
Wang Baiyue waved his fingers with a look of “you don’t understand”: “It’s not serious, it’s extremely abstract.”
Not only these two had this reaction, but also the comments from those who had already watched it once had this reaction.
[Chen Xing high energy ahead]
【Come back for a second look】
[The little pig made me laugh to death. I’m back again]
[This super high energy]
[This kid, Xiaozhu, is really invincible]
Xia Huanming looked at Chen Xing.
Chen Xing didn't care about all this at all. He lifted the bag of potato chips and poured the last bit of chips into his mouth.
In the video, Gu Yirou said that this episode is about "liberating nature" and asked everyone to guess what the contestants will perform.
The other four who were chosen to perform either performed as a lion, a monkey, a snake or an ostrich. Everyone was a little reserved at first, but they relaxed more and more as the performance progressed, and their movements became more exaggerated.
The contestants in the audience applauded their performance, and the atmosphere was lively. The comments were as follows: "Gu Yirou accidentally entered a lunatic asylum."
Xue Si Nian was almost laughing like crazy because of this sentence.
After the four people finished their performance, it was finally Chen Xing's turn.
Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Xing fell to the ground without saying a word. The next second, his legs flapped violently as if he had been electrocuted.
After flapping a few times, he ran out of energy and continued flapping.
Gu Yirou waited for Chen Xing to stop before asking him, "What are you performing...?"
Chen Xing raised his head abruptly and said to the camera, "Sunfish."
Gu Yirou: “?”
【Ahhh I can’t stand it anymore hahahahaha】
[I’m sick hahahahaha]
【Hahahahaha】
[There is more energy to come, come on]
Wang Baiyue and Zhao Xingyu were already grinning from ear to ear, while Xue Si Nian and Zheng Qi burst out laughing too.
But the facts told them that they laughed too early.
Gu Yirou thought for a moment and said, "Can you act more concretely like them? Or more lifelike, something everyone has experienced."
Chen Xing repeated: "Life-like?"
Gu Yirou nodded: "Yes."
Chen Xing thought for a moment, patted his pants, stood up, and borrowed a bottle of mineral water from the contestant next to him.
He slowly unscrewed the bottle cap, poured some water into his palm, and then gracefully wiped his wet hands over his hair.
Just as a few words of "so handsome" flashed across the screen, Chen Xing was seen lying back on the ground, struggling wildly again, ten times harder than before.
Gu Yirou asked again: "What is this..."
Chen Xing stopped what he was doing and turned to look at her: "A perch that jumped out of a water tank in the vegetable market."
Gu Yirou: “?”
[Hahahahahahahaha you are sick]
[Just tell me whether it is specific or not? ]
【Just tell me whether to live or not? 】
[Meeting a talented abstract player, unable to break through]
[I can’t stand this genius]
Zheng Qi looked at Gu Yirou's choked expression and laughed: "I finally understand why Baiyue and Xingyu are laughing like that. I'll laugh too if I'm here, hahahaha!"
"If you don't say Xia Huanming is number one, you would just chuckle a few times now." As soon as Zheng Peiya's words came out, the other people who were laughing all looked at Xia Huanming.
Xia Huanming gave them a commercial smile - a standard eight-teeth smile.
Wang Baiyue said with disdain: "It's not from the heart at all."
Xia Huanming shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do if you want to think that way."
It’s not that Chen Xing isn’t funny, it’s just that in his eyes, Chen Xing is more cute than funny.
Her wet hair is cute, the way she explains seriously is cute, and even now, the way she is lying on the ground pretending to be a dead fish is so adorable.
Xia Huanming was about to praise Chen Xing for his courage to try when Chen Xing's cell phone suddenly rang.
Chen Xing put down the bag of snacks, glanced at the caller ID, and stood up quickly.
"I'm going to take a call."
After Chen Xing finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the bedroom and closed the door.
Xia Huanming and Zheng Peiya exchanged glances. Zheng Peiya nodded slightly, and Xia Huanming slowly stood up.
Zhao Xingyu was confused: "You want to leave too?"
Xia Huanming glanced at him and said, "I'm going to the bathroom." Then he left.
The remaining few people looked at each other, and Wang Baiyue asked cautiously: "Then let's wait until they come back and see?"
Zheng Peiya, who knew everything in her heart, shook her head and said, "I don't think he'll be back for a while, let's continue."
The sound of the TV stopped abruptly in the corridor, blocked by the heavy door, and naturally no sound from the other bedroom could be heard.
The only light in the dim bedroom came from the half-open bathroom door, and the regular ticking of the faucet became clearer in the silence.
Chen Xing sat curled up on the cold tile floor, his left arm wrapped around his bent knees, his right hand holding the phone tightly against his ear.
A slightly older woman's voice came from the phone. She had obviously been crying: "Xingxing, thank you. I don't know what I would do without you."
Chen Xing stared at the reflection of the water droplets swaying in the cracks between the tiles and replied softly, "It's okay. This is what I should do. If you need anything, just tell me."
The woman said, "I saw your show. You did really well. You are really going to be famous."
Chen Xing smiled: "Hahaha, this way I can make more money in the future."
"Don't work too hard, you...ah!"
There was a sudden loud noise of something heavy falling from the other end of the phone, followed by a woman's scream.
"Chen Xing! Why are you pretending to be a saint?" A male voice in the voice change period exploded in the receiver, "Get away! I told you not to call my mom. What happens in our family is none of your business! You don't have a mother, so you come to my mom, right?!"
Chen Xing's expression darkened, especially when he heard the last sentence, his teeth sank deeply into his lower lip.
The woman on the phone kept shouting, "Hey! How do you talk like that!"
The boy yelled at the woman: "Mom! Why do you always look for him! Don't I have any dignity?!"
"What's the point of saving face? We are a family!"
"Family bullshit, who is family to this orphan?!"
"How can you talk like that! Wake him up..."
"What do you mean by him? Mom, don't look for him anymore! If you keep doing this, I won't come back! It's either me or him!"
The call was hung up in the chaos, and a busy tone suddenly sounded, but Chen Xing was reluctant to put down the phone.
What a ridiculous comedy this is.
Chen Xing shifted his gaze towards the light on the sink.
He looked for a long time, until his eyes began to hurt, and then he stood up.
The first thing he did after standing up was to pull the corners of his mouth with his fingers until the smile no longer seemed forced, and then he gripped the door handle tightly.
The moment he opened the door, a tall figure blocked his way.
The ceiling light cast a sharp shadow on Xia Huanming's brow bone, and Chen Xing first saw his stunned self in those beautiful phoenix eyes.
Chen Xing was stunned for a few seconds, then stepped aside to make way for Xia Huanming.
Xia Huanming lowered his eyes and glanced at him, then walked into the bathroom and turned on the faucet.
Chen Xing didn't know how much Xia Huanming heard, but he didn't turn on the speakerphone, so even if he heard it, he would just think he was making a normal phone call.
Chen Xing thought about this and smiled with ease: "Then I'll go back first."
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Xia Huanming's voice, along with the sound of running water, rushed into his eardrums: "I asked them to turn off the camera on the rooftop."
Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, then turned around abruptly: "What?"
Xia Huanming turned off the faucet, walked a few steps to him, lowered his head slightly, and brushed his index finger across the corner of his eye.
His voice was as steady as the sea at night.
"Would you like a drink?"
