Chapter 83: Hua Youjin just came out like that?
Chen Xing was actually stunned for a moment when he heard this. Then, looking at Xia Huanming's uneasy eyes, he realized that Xia Huanming seemed to be more innocent than he thought.
"Haven't you talked about it before?" Chen Xing couldn't help but ask.
Xia Huanming answered without hesitation: "No, you are my first love."
"Why?" Chen Xing didn't understand. Xia Huanming's looks and personality made him popular among both men and women, right?
"My condition was very bad at that time. I was busy with school, had no source of income, and had to see a doctor," Xia Huanming lowered his eyes, "I didn't want to drag others down."
"There's really nothing we can do about it." Chen Xing stared at Xia Huanming's eyelashes and quietly held his fingers under the quilt. "Actually, if you want to kiss, you can do it now."
Xia Huanming hesitated, which was rare: "I'm afraid that if I kiss you now, when you go out someday, I will think of this incident and won't be able to sleep." His voice gradually became inaudible.
Chen Xing couldn't help but think.
Since he is so cautious now just asking for a kiss, how will Xia Huanming react if he does other things in the future?
Will I have a nosebleed?
He leaned close to Xia Huanming, forehead touching: "Just remember, I won't run away, and I won't leave you. No matter where we go to work in the future, we will meet again sooner or later."
The two people's breathing was very close, so close that it seemed as if they had been blending together from the very beginning.
Xia Huanming nodded, and with Chen Xing's comfort, he finally closed his eyes in peace.
Before meeting Chen Xing, Xia Huanming didn't like dreaming. Those dreams were always filled with terrible things and never anyone he wanted to meet.
But now, he wanted to dream.
He wanted to dream of Chen Xing, or his grandmother who had transformed into an immortal.
When did he start reducing his medication dosage? When did his insomnia gradually improve?
Chen Xing might be his antidote.
But he didn't want Chen Xing to be the antidote, and didn't want to burden Chen Xing. He liked the way Chen Xing was free as the wind.
For Xia Huanming, love is about making the other person better, not being a psychiatrist. He will try to look forward and stop letting Chen Xing worry about him. That day, he will be able to comfort Chen Xing and help him...
Xia Huanming fell into long memories and thoughts. When he woke up, his cell phone lit up, reminding him to get up at six o'clock, and Chen Xing was sleeping with his back to him.
Xia Huanming stood up quietly.
After washing and changing clothes, she returned to the bed, leaned over and gave Chen Xing a light kiss on his closed eyelids.
What I have always wanted to do, I can now finally do openly.
This realization made Xia Huanming's mouth curl up unconsciously, and he couldn't hide his good mood even during breakfast.
When the two walked outside, Wang Baiyue looked at Xia Huanming who was tying his shoelaces: "What's wrong with you? You seem very happy today?"
Xia Huanming tied his shoelaces, set the value on the bracelet, and said lightly: "Because I'm in love." After that, he started running.
"Oh, because of a relationship..." Wang Baiyue ran two steps before suddenly stopping and yelling at Xia Huanming's back, "Are you in a relationship?!"
Xia Huanming didn't stop, leaving him only his back.
Wang Baiyue quickly chased after him and asked, "With whom? Who are you with? Haven't you been filming or with us? Are you in an online relationship? Who are you in an online relationship with?"
Fortunately, Wang Baiyue had a good lung capacity. Even after talking so much, he still followed Xia Huanming without slowing down.
When Wang Baiyue asked about the two of them running into the alley, he swallowed and was about to continue asking when Xia Huanming said, "You know him."
"I know him? Who?" Wang Baiyue thought carefully, "Could it be from the girls' group? Shen Miao has a boyfriend, Huang Canni doesn't seem to be interested in guys, Shao Shuxian... I feel like she's more likely to like Chen Xing than you, could it be Jiang Ke? But you haven't had any contact with her, and Sheng Yue is even less likely, every time she comes, she's chatting with Pei Ya and the others, and she doesn't pay any attention to us..."
Xia Huanming turned around and looked at him: "You did mention his name in this sentence."
Wang Baiyue's eyes lit up, and he took two steps forward to be on the same level as Xia Huanming: "Don't keep me in suspense, just tell me now."
"You should be shocked when I finish, and it will disrupt your breathing rhythm."
"Don't worry, there can't be anything more shocking to me than you publicly announcing your relationship. I've already calmed down." Wang Baiyue even performed a deep exhalation, which had no effect on his running.
"Chen Xing," Xia Huanming looked at the loess road ahead, and repeated it again, as if afraid that Wang Baiyue hadn't heard him, "I talked to Chen Xing."
After Wang Baiyue was silent for a few seconds, he responded with three different pitches: "Ah? Ah? Ah??"
Xia Huanming stopped and looked back at Wang Baiyue who stumbled a step: "...Didn't you say you weren't shocked anymore?"
Wang Baiyue: “?”
Not Big Brother, you didn’t say it was Chen Xing? ?
Wang Baiyue felt a little pain in his head and rubbed his temples: "The important thing is, do you two like men?"
He mainly couldn't figure it out.
How could Xia Huanming be gay? Whether it was his daily activities or his online comments, he was clearly a straight man in the stereotype.
Looking at Xia Huanming's calm appearance, wearing a black sportswear and running calmly, it seems that it is not him who came out today, but a neighbor next door.
Wang Baiyue couldn't believe it: "...Why are you so calm?"
"Now that I'm ready to tell you, it would be unreasonable for me to panic again," said Xia Huanming.
...That's true.
Wang Baiyue thought so and soon remembered something else.
“Then last time we took a shower in the public bathroom in the locker room…” Wang Baiyue hugged himself, “You went to the room next to mine on purpose, couldn’t it be…”
Xia Huanming was somewhat speechless and slowly stopped: "I have never been interested in you from the beginning."
"I'm just kidding," Wang Baiyue put away his serious expression and chuckled, "I know you don't like everyone and you also have your own ideal type."
"Thank you for understanding."
The reason why Xia Huanming told Wang Baiyue without any preparation was because he knew that Wang Baiyue would not show any aversion to homosexuality.
This was also his guess from the video chat between Wang Baiyue and his girlfriend.
Wang Baiyue’s girlfriend is a fan of a certain anime and she often has two little dolls hanging on her bag.
When Wang Baiyue told his girlfriend about the couple, he did not show any disgust. Instead, he asked his girlfriend if she bought couple outfits for her baby when she was shopping, and even reminded her to check in on the super topic.
In addition, Wang Baiyue didn't care about anyone else's affairs except his girlfriend, so he could tell Wang Baiyue with more confidence.
"Should I help you keep a secret?"
When Xia Huanming heard Wang Baiyue say this, he nodded and said, "We will tell everyone. Before that, Brother Yue, please keep it a secret."
Wang Baiyue pretended to zip up his mouth: "Ok, my mouth is tight."
After they finished talking, they continued running.
After running for a few minutes, Wang Baiyue slowly approached Xia Huanming and asked shyly, "But can I tell Yueyue?"
Xia Huanming: “…”
He is indeed a top-notch love-brained person who doesn't care about anything else except his girlfriend.
Xia Huanming resolutely refused, and Wang Baiyue said "Okay" and did not force it.
When the two returned to the villa after running for an hour, they ran into Chen Xing and Zhao Xingyu playing games on the sofa.
Xia Huanming quickly took a shower and changed his clothes. After going downstairs, he sat down next to Chen Xing as if he was familiar with the place. As usual, he rested his chin on his shoulder and watched him operate.
At this time, Zhao Xingyu moved to the side, staring at his phone and muttering, "Make room for you two, don't blind me."
Xia Huanming was just wondering when he heard Chen Xing calmly explain, "I told him."
"Tsk," Wang Baiyue shook his head while drinking water, "You two are really efficient. Before the morning is over, you've already told two people."
Chen Xing winked at Wang Baiyue and said, "Of course I should tell you sooner if I can. I'm also going to wait for the others to wake up and tell them one by one."
Chen Xing said this and really did it, telling everyone who came out.
Before the photographer went to work, everyone in the team knew that Chen Xing and Xia Huanming were dating.
"Congratulations, I didn't realize that at all," Zheng Qi bowed and said embarrassedly, "I wanted to introduce someone to Ah Huan last time, no wonder you didn't react at that time, it turns out you already have someone in your heart."
Zheng Peiya covered her mouth and said, "Wow, I saw your super topic last time. It seems I can pay attention to it now."
"You're worthy of being a fan girl. This is the key point." Xue Si Nian teased Zheng Peiya and touched her waist with his elbow.
"Hehe." Zheng Peiya smiled embarrassedly.
After Zheng Peiya reminded him, Xia Huanming remembered the CP list. He looked at his phone and saw that the first place was still #睿醒咖啡#.
But now Xia Huanming is no longer jealous, because he knows that when the day comes for it to be made public, Awakening Moment will definitely be at the top.
Xia Huanming put away his phone and rubbed Chen Xing's hair: "I regret not chatting with you more in the past few episodes."
"...Wait, you two aren't going to show off your affection like Brother Yue did, are you?" Zhao Xingyu looked at Xia Huanming, who was talking in a slurred way, and rubbed his arms. "It's okay for just one person, but now there are two more. I really can't stand it."
Xia Huanming clasped Chen Xing's hands tightly with his ten fingers and glanced at Zhao Xingyu with a straight face: "We must be more rational than Brother Yue."
Zhao Xingyu: "...Forget about Chen Xing. You and Brother Yue are like the pot calling the kettle black."
We chatted for a while and then went to the classroom together.
The treetops in June were covered with soft green waves. The morning sun was not too strong, and it was gently flowing with mist. The tiny spots of light filtered through the branches were like a flowing star map, falling on the shoulders of the group of people.
Halfway through the journey, they met several other contestants who were also going to class.
Everyone was talking in groups of three or four about acting skills and the cast replacements for the sixth episode.
Chen Xing and Xia Huanming walked side by side in the back row. Xia Huanming's fingertips quietly approached Chen Xing's hand, but withdrew when it was about to touch. Thinking that there were too many people around, he gave up.
Xia Huanming scratched the back of his neck in annoyance and asked Chen Xing, who was looking at his phone beside him, "It's your birthday soon, what gift do you want?"
"Well... there's nothing I want." Chen Xing raised his head, his eyebrows curved into crescents, dimples looming, "I wish you could accompany me that day."
"Okay." Xia Huanming smiled gently. Although he agreed now, he would definitely buy a gift when the time comes.
Li Mu, who was in the front row, looked back at the two of them and exclaimed, "Old Xia, you've changed!"
Xia Huanming put away his smile and returned to his normal calm expression: "What changed?"
Li Mu pointed at Xia Huanming's pants: "You're not wearing black!"
The first few players looked back.
Xia Huanming was wearing an ordinary white short-sleeved and striped shirt and dark blue straight jeans.
Facing the puzzled expressions in the front row, Xia Huanming calmly replied: "Can't I change my mood?"
He saw that Chen Xing liked his appearance in college, so he imitated it. If he had known that this group of people would react so strongly, he might as well continue with black, white and gray.
Du He patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said to Xia Huanming, "You should wear this suit from now on. The black and white ones you wore before really made you look like the reincarnation of the living devil."
Xia Huanming: “…”
Li Mu added: "Especially when you were wearing that hat and the lights were turned off, oh my god, I thought I was going to hell."
Xia Huanming: “…”
"Hahahaha——" Chen Xing was amused by this group of people.
Xia Huanming glanced at Chen Xing aggrievedly.
Chen Xing smiled and secretly pulled his sleeves, his fingertips running across his sun protection jacket of the same color, and whispered, "We are wearing couple outfits."
Xia Huanming glanced at Chen Xing.
Chen Xing's color today is also blue and white.
She wore an off-white shirt with a vine pattern on it, and her pants were knee-length rolled-up light blue jeans, revealing her straight and beautiful calves.
"Couple outfits..." Xia Huanming repeated softly, his eyebrows suddenly curved.
Although he appeared calm on the surface, his heart was already surging with rage.
As she walked along, she could no longer hear what people were saying around her. All she could think of were the words "They are wearing couple outfits" and the gentle pulling of Chen Xing's sleeves.
When we arrived at the class room, there were already two groups of contestants waiting. Ten minutes later, all the contestants arrived and the instructors took the stage.
The mentors first told the process of the sixth episode, and then talked about classic movies about love, such as "Pride and Prejudice" and "Before Sunrise", as well as the musicals "Singing in the Rain", "Phantom of the Opera" and "Butterfly Lovers", and the classic dramas "Romeo and Juliet" and "Green Snake".
The common point of these love dramas is that they are not just about "love", but also have deeper meanings, such as exposing some corrupt and wrong things in the society at that time.
In other words, every excellent work cannot have only a single element. No matter how well-designed the characters are, a work without a core will ultimately be floating and forgotten after being repetitively watched.
When Zhang Jin'an asked these screenwriters what type of romantic dramas they liked best.
Xue Si Nian shrugged and said that the number of romance dramas he had watched could be counted on one hand.
Zheng Peiya stood up and said, "I like equality first, then love. I like the words in Jane Eyre, 'When our souls pass through the grave and come before God, we are equal.' I don't like the kindness of those in power towards love, as if it were a kind of charity."
Jinhua asked, "That's why your script is written like this, right?"
"That's right." Zheng Peiya nodded.
"I always thought Pei Ya was a weak or introverted girl, but in some of Pei Ya's works, I can always see her persistence and determination in certain things," Jin Hua smiled, "I think you can become an excellent screenwriter in the future."
"Thank you, teacher." It is an honor for all screenwriter contestants to receive praise from their favorite screenwriters.
Zheng Peiya's ears turned red when she sat down. Xue Si Nian was happy for her and kept teasing her. Zheng Peiya smiled lightly and straightened her back silently.
After talking about these movies, Zhang Jinan talked about the replacement of members: "Okay, I will call out the names now, please ask the contestants whose names are called to come on stage."
The six selected contestants stood in order, with Chen Xing standing in the center.
After Zhang Jin'an announced the change of groups, everyone stepped down and returned to their team.
Xia Huanming followed Chen Xing as he walked towards Group 3. The people in Group 3 were very happy when they saw Chen Xing.
"We are performing an ancient idol drama this time, and we need fresh young actors like you." Du He rubbed Chen Xing's hair.
Qi Yinrui on the side raised his eyebrows, looked up and looked at Xia Huanming, then shrugged, meaning it was none of his business.
Xia Huanming: “…”
"Hello, please bear with me in the next few days."
Xia Huanming turned his gaze back and saw Su Yanqiu, a contestant from Group 1, greeting him.
Su Yanqiu is a rather shy man with a thick and upturned nose, freckles on his face, and wearing a simple polo shirt. Although he is only 25 years old, he has the temperament of a middle-aged man more than Zheng Qi.
He became popular for a while in the past two years for playing the second male villain in a hit ancient costume drama, but the roles he played were all disastrous ancient costumes.
Some people say that he looks better in modern clothes than in ancient clothes, and it is indeed true now.
"Relax, we are all good people." Zhao Xingyu opened his arms and hugged Su Yanqiu.
"I know your group is more abstract," Su Yanqiu rubbed his hands embarrassedly, "Is it okay that I'm not good at abstract?"
Zhao Xingyu patted his chest and said, "It's okay. If you want to learn, I can teach you."
Su Yanqiuhai really believed it and asked sincerely, "Really? Master Zhao?"
Zhao Xingyu put his arm around Su Yanqiu's shoulders and said, "Hey, let's go to the practice room."
Others: “…”
"Sometimes I admire Zhao Xingyu and Xiaozhu's social skills. They are really social tough guys." Zheng Qi sighed.
Xia Huanming looked at Chen Xing's back and followed Zhao Xingyu to the practice room.
Although Su Yanqiu was new, he was able to adapt well. He asked questions and spoke enthusiastically at the reading session, and also took notes seriously.
When the practice really started, he would actively cooperate and run wherever the scene was. Xia Huanming also kept working and patiently guided Su Yanqiu on some small movements.
Su Yanqiu thanked him repeatedly: "It has to be you. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed that I have a habit."
Xia Huanming waved his hand.
"His eyesight has always been good." said Wang Baiyue, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
"You should get close to Xia Huanming. With him, you can make two progresses a day." Zhao Xingyu encouraged.
"Don't push everything onto me and just leave it alone. Let's help each other," Xia Huanming glanced at his phone. He had been rehearsing for two hours without realizing it, so he said, "Let's take a break."
Everyone answered "OK" in unison and sat down.
Because we just changed teams today, we have to wait for the director to send out the promotional pictures before we can start the live broadcast, so everyone was being casual today, lying on the cool floor without caring about their image. Some were pretending to swim, and some were doing Pilates meditation.
Xia Huanming leaned against the wall and opened WeChat.
Chen Xing sent him a selfie in the practice room, with three groups of people sitting behind him and talking.
In addition, Qi Yinrui also sent him two photos, both of which were side profile photos of Chen Xing sitting on the floor reading a script.
"Ding ding" sounds were heard twice, and Qi Yinrui sent another message.
[Old Fox]: Don't worry, I will report to you frequently as compensation.
Xia Huanming looked at the line of words and thought: Qi Yinrui is actually quite good.
So I went back.
[Xia Huanming]: Don’t think of it as compensation, you did nothing wrong.
[Xia Huanming]: He can learn new things from you, which is also better for him.
[Old Fox]: You are quite rational. I thought you would have separation anxiety.
[Xia Huanming]: How can it be so exaggerated? I can't restrict him from making friends.
【Old Fox】: I feel relieved when you say that
What are you worried about?
Just when Xia Huanming was confused, Qi Yinrui sent a message.
[Old Fox]: Du He wants to shoot a short video with Chen Xing, the same one we shot last time, and chose the one with hands touching faces. Since you don’t mind, I won’t help you reject them.
Xia Huanming: “?”
【Xia Huanming】:?
【Xia Huanming】: Wait??????
Xia Huanming held the phone and waited for a minute, but the other party did not reply.
no?
Xia Huanming couldn't stand it anymore and called Chen Xing.
Chen Xing answered the call quickly, and his tone sounded cheerful: "What's the matter?"
Xia Huanming asked hurriedly: "Are you going to shoot a short video later?"
The other party was silent for a few seconds, and said in a puzzled tone: "No, we haven't finished the script yet, and we will continue to discuss the script later."
Xia Huanming: “…”
That old fox!!!
