Chapter 84: Flowers End with a Kiss.
"What's the matter?" Chen Xing stood in the corner and poked the mirror in front of him gently. "Why are you talking about this suddenly?"
The other party was silent for a few seconds, then said in a gentle and caring voice, "In short, don't let them touch you, even your head."
"Okay, I understand." Although Chen Xing was full of doubts, he still responded to Xia Huanming obediently, and then said softly, "Okay, I'll call you later. Bye."
After the other party hung up the call, Chen Xing's phone automatically returned to the main menu.
"What are you touching?" Chen Xing stared at Xia Huanming's appearance on his phone wallpaper with a hint of confusion in his eyes. He then locked the screen and his gaze involuntarily fell to the ground.
The floor was faintly glowing, and in the dim light, the soles of Chen Xing's shoes and a small, shallow outline of his calves were vaguely reflected.
With two "thumps", a pair of brand new shoes appeared next to Chen Xing.
Chen Xing turned around slowly, and what came into his sight was Qi Yinrui with his arms crossed. He covered his mouth tightly with his right hand, and his shoulders were shaking slightly.
Chen Xing tilted his head in confusion and asked, "Brother Rui, what's wrong with you? What's the matter that makes you laugh so happily?"
"Oh my god," Qi Yinrui waved his hands and wiped away the tears from his eyes, "Lao Xia...your boyfriend is so funny."
"Fun?" Chen Xing tilted his head. "Did you tell him anything?"
Qi Yinrui then showed Chen Xing the conversation between himself and Xia Huanming.
"No wonder he asked me if I wanted to take a video," Chen Xing smiled, "Don't say that next time, he will really believe it."
"I know. I'll only do it once. If I do it too much, it'll be like the wolf is coming." Qi Yinrui's eyebrows were still curved, but his voice was serious. "You talked to him about this matter - how many people know about it now?"
"Our group knows." Chen Xing glanced at everyone who was resting and replied, "The others don't know yet."
Qi Yinrui then asked: "Do you want to tell our team? But I think we should wait a little longer. The more people know, the worse the confidentiality will be."
"That's right." Chen Xing nodded and smiled at Qi Yinrui, "Then I'll listen to Brother Rui."
Qi Yinrui was not so happy, instead he sighed: "I am also sorry for you."
"What?" Chen Xing asked puzzledly.
"At the beginning, I told Xia Huanming not to disturb you, and he endured it for a long time." Qi Yinrui put his finger on his chin, looking thoughtful, "In the end, I didn't expect that you two were in love with each other. I have delayed you."
"You are also trying to protect our relationship. Don't you know?" Chen Xing didn't care about this at all. Qi Yinrui was not trying to sow discord. He just told Xia Huanming the most difficult path first and protected his friendship with Xia Huanming. "And didn't you help us later? Brother Rui, you are a very good person."
Qi Yinrui fell into a long silence, seeming to be thinking about something.
Ten seconds later, Qi Yinrui put his hands on Chen Xing's shoulders and stared at him: "Have you downloaded anti-fraud software?"
Chen Xing: "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Don't delete it," Qi Yinrui said with a serious expression, "You two young lovers are both more gullible than each other."
Chen Xing: “…”
Qi Yinrui laughed again, and Chen Xing remained silent.
After the rehearsal, Chen Xing followed the three teams back to the villa for dinner. Yaya was the chef for the three groups, with the others helping out.
Duck-duck dishes are cooked in one pot. All ingredients are blanched in water before being stewed together. First, take out the quickly cooked enoki mushrooms and pour soy sauce and hot oil on them separately; then take out the duck feet and mix them into the prepared sauce; take out the meatballs at this time, and the meatball soup is ready. Finally, add dark soy sauce, salt, cinnamon, star anise and other seasonings to the remaining stewed beef brisket, chop the potatoes, stew for a few minutes, and the potato beef brisket is ready.
Chen Xing was shocked every time he saw this operation. He wanted to learn it, but found that he could not remember when to add seasoning.
"Cheers! Welcome Chen Xing to join us!" Du He raised the cup filled with Coke, "Although it's only been a dozen days! But we've had a great time together!"
Chen Xing also raised his glass and thanked: "Thank you all for hosting me."
"Do you want to call your team and connect?" YaYa suggested as she sat down.
Chen Xing immediately opened WeChat, and a few seconds later the group video of "Lunch Box Uncovered" was connected.
Zhao Xingyu's big face instantly filled the screen: "Hello, you guys are eating too."
At this time, Xia Huanming also joined the call. The phone seemed to be leaning against the edge of the bowl, and the camera was shooting from bottom to top, outlining his jawline particularly clearly.
Zhao Xingyu turned to Xia Huanming and said, "One phone is enough, why do you open another one?"
Xia Huanming calmly picked up a piece of food with chopsticks: "What do you care about me?"
Chen Xing switched to panoramic mode, scanning the table full of delicacies and the ever-changing members one by one. Everyone gave a "V" sign to the camera.
Zhao Xingyu also took pictures of them eating, including the newcomer Su Yanqiu. Su Yanqiu waved his hands shyly and lowered his head to eat vegetables.
"Sister Ya," Zhao Xingyu put his face close to the camera, "Why are you making cakes? Give me a bite, I will work like a slave for you."
Chen Xing took a photo of Yaya, and Yaya smiled and said, "Next time, come to our place next time."
"Okay, stop harassing me." Xia Huanming finally spoke.
Chen Xing clicked on Xia Huanming's solo shot.
How to say it, the blurry image quality of the WeChat video unexpectedly created the effect of a retro filter, blurring Xia Huanming's facial features like a gentleman in an old movie, with beautiful black hair and beautiful eyes.
How come his boyfriend is good-looking in every way?
Chen Xing thought happily and secretly took a screenshot.
"When will you come back?" Xia Huanming seemed to be able to see what he was doing and was also looking at the camera, as if he was looking back at him.
Chen Xing's heart moved, and he replied with a smile: "After eating, I will line up again and then I will be back."
"Okay."
After Xia Huanming finished speaking, there was a burst of booing in the background.
They hung up the phone amidst laughter.
Summer nights always come late, and the blues begin to appear at six in the evening. The clouds are no longer fluffy and white, but are stained with a thin layer of lead blue, like burnt paper.
After dinner, several people suggested playing the board game "Cheating Moth".
“Everything changes rapidly”. No one here brings a game console like Zhao Xingyu. Everyone’s entertainment is the board games provided by the program team.
The gameplay of "Cheating Moth" is very simple. Everyone has a handful of cards in their hands. Everyone cheats by discarding cards without being discovered by the guards. If discovered, you will become the next guard. Whoever plays all the cards wins.
As the first person to finish playing his cards in the first round, Chen Xing had the opportunity to be a spectator for a while and almost laughed himself to death.
Everyone was cheating by throwing the cards. Some threw them on the ground, some pretended to stretch and got their cards stuck in their hats, and some hid them in their sleeves when they stood up to get the cards. Everyone's expression was exceptionally calm when they were throwing the cards.
Chen Xing could already imagine the audience’s reaction when they saw this clip: all the acting skills were put into this.
They played two more games and then the doorbell rang.
"I'll go open the door," Xiao Yuan ran over to open the door with a paddle in hand. When she saw the person coming, she said in surprise, "Xia Huanming? Why is it you?"
Hearing the name, Chen Xing turned his head suddenly and saw Xia Huanming standing at the door, waving at him slightly.
"Come in first," Chen Xing said with joy in his eyes, "We'll leave after we finish this game."
"I'll come over to pick you up right away," Qi Yinrui shuffled the cards slowly and said jokingly, "I really can't wait even a second longer."
Xia Huanming followed Xiao Yuan in, walked to Chen Xing's side, glanced at the cards flying around on the table, and asked, "What are you playing?"
Chen Xing raised his head and said, "Board games are really interesting."
Xia Huanming hummed, rested his hands on the backrest of Chen Xing's chair, and watched them play games quietly.
After the last round was over, Chen Xing took the script, said hello to everyone, and followed Xia Huanming away.
The street lights slowly came on, and they held hands as they walked down the path.
Chen Xing looked up at the gradually changing indigo sky and suddenly remembered the sky when he first came to film: "The sky was like this when I first filmed."
So much time has passed now.
It has been so long that players who were originally strangers to each other can now sit together and play cards.
"You scared me to death that day. The cut was so big." Xia Huanming's focus was on Chen Xing. "There's still a little bit left now."
Chen Xing looked down at the scar that had almost faded to the size of a mosquito bite and said, "It's okay. It doesn't hurt now. I just found that there are so many memories here. Now returning to the villa is as familiar as returning to my own home."
"So how did you feel about going to someone else's house today?" Xia Huanming moved closer and asked gently, "Were they nice to you?"
"Okay, I'll play it..." Chen Xing blocked his mouth with the script, "Oh, I can't spoil it."
Xia Huanming didn't mind his concealment at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Then tell me the rest. We'll talk about it when we get back. We also have taro ball milk jelly today. I've reserved a portion for you. I'm sure you'll like it."
Chen Xing nodded and let him hold her hand. The two of them walked slowly, passing through layers of flowers and walking along the street lights.
In the soft glow of the street lamp, Xia Huanming's profile seemed to be coated with a layer of delicate highlights, and every contour exuded a quiet tenderness.
It's really malleable, Chen Xing exclaimed.
Xia Huanming had one feeling when he made his innocent confession, and now he has another feeling, like a young man who found a job and returned home, full of ambition and vigor.
Chen Xing looked at Xia Huanming like this and blurted out: "It is really the right choice for you to do this job."
"Huh?" Xia Huanming paused and turned his head away in confusion.
Chen Xing stopped in the circle of light from the street lamp, his dark brown hair gleaming with a thin layer of gold.
Xia Huanming heard him say: "What I mean is that you can't be an ordinary person."
He said, Xia Huanming, you are dazzling. You should stand under the spotlight and receive the bouquet that belongs to you. You can never be an ordinary person, because you were born to be here.
He said, I like you and the thousands and thousands of other people you have played, because they are all you.
These confessions, which others may find difficult to say in their lifetime, were poured out by Chen Xing in a frank manner, rushing directly into Xia Huanming's cochlea, bringing waves of dizziness.
He was so hot he was about to explode.
Chen Xing was like the god of love sent by God, teaching him how to abandon his past sufferings and how to fall in love with the world again.
Now he just wanted to hug Chen Xing, to kiss him, to...
Xia Huanming did the same.
He almost instinctively held the person tightly in his arms, with such force that it seemed as if they wanted to merge into one.
"I love you so much," Xia Huanming ran his fingertips through Chen Xing's hair, his voice trembling with excitement, "What should I do? I feel like I want to marry you right now."
Chen Xing patted his back and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Rui said that the confession in a romantic drama must have three elements: lighting, camera, and slow motion. We are only missing the last two."
"Are you hinting at me?" Xia Huanming asked.
"No, I'm just a dedicated actor." Chen Xing pretended not to know.
Xia Huanming slowly let go of Chen Xing, and Chen Xing gave him a mischievous smile.
The more he looked at her, the more he liked her, and he gave Chen Xing a kiss on the cheek.
The two smiled at each other, held hands and continued walking home.
They let go of each other's hands before entering the villa.
The moment they stepped on the floor of the villa, Zhao Xingyu and Wang Baiyue's pinched voice came: "Yo - finally brought the person back -"
These two people knew their limits. They asked the photographer to leave early and turned off the camera before talking like this. There was not much reaction before.
Chen Xing and Xia Huanming pretended not to hear the two people talking. Chen Xing looked around and asked, "Huh? Where's Su Yanqiu?"
"He left because he didn't want to see you two showing off your affection," Zhao Xingyu's eyes wandered between Xia Huanming and Chen Xing, and he continued to tease them, "Some people specially opened a video just to see their partner answer the phone."
At this time, Wang Baiyue said: "But I can understand Lao Xia. It's the same when I talk to Yueyue on the phone. I don't turn on the language if I can watch the video."
Zhao Xingyu: "...Who asked you?"
While Zhao Xingyu and Wang Baiyue were bickering with each other, Xia Huanming had already taken out the sweet soup from the refrigerator and walked straight towards Chen Xing: "Let's go, let's go upstairs and eat."
Chen Xing nodded and followed Xia Huanming upstairs to the bedroom.
Zhao Xingyu raised his phone and shouted, "Hey! Xiaozhu, remember to play ranked with me later?!"
Before closing the door, Xia Huanming turned around and said, "We want to show our affection, so we don't have time to play today."
“Hey! You!” Zhao Xingyu, who lost a general, could only stamp his feet, “Damn it! Not only did you steal my people, you also took my ranking!”
Xia Huanming shrugged and closed the door directly, blocking out Zhao Xingyu's wailing.
Chen Xing sat in front of the small table and ate taro balls leisurely. Xia Huanming moved a chair over and sat next to him, looking at his phone.
Chen Xing shared his experience of today's performance while eating taro balls. Xia Huanming occasionally answered and supported his chin to watch Chen Xing eat.
After Chen Xing finished eating, the two of them cleaned up the table a little. After they finished, Chen Xing went to wash his hands.
When Chen Xing came out after washing his hands, Xia Huanming was sitting on his bed reading a script.
This is another kind of Xia Huanming.
Xia Huanming was serious and solemn, with a sharp and cold gaze. You wouldn't expect him to be such an innocent and shy person. Instead, he looked like a seasoned love veteran who had had more than a dozen relationships.
If he teased Xia Huanming at this time, how would Xia Huanming react?
Chen Xing walked over slowly and said as he walked, "I think Brother Rui is really unrivaled in acting in romantic dramas, but the strange thing is that he has never been in a relationship."
"He doesn't want to date. He's single." Xia Huanming looked up and opened his arms happily, knowing that Chen Xing wanted to find him.
Chen Xing stopped just inches away, put his hands behind his back, and said cheerfully, "What a pity! He taught me a lot of things. He looked so professional, such as eye contact, language, and kissing scenes."
"Well, he does..." Xia Huanming suddenly froze, "Kissing scene?"
"Yes," Chen Xing sat down beside him as if nothing had happened, "It's a kissing scene."
Xia Huanming frowned: "How did he teach me?"
"For example... like this?" Chen Xing's fingertips gently stroked Xia Huanming's cheek, and suddenly grabbed his collar and kissed him directly.
After a few seconds, Chen Xing let go.
Chen Xing thought Xia Huanming would be very happy, or would show the same blushing look as last time, but Xia Huanming just stared at him without saying anything or even showing any expression.
Chen Xing felt embarrassed, looked away, and scratched his chin awkwardly: "Well, this is a bit sudden. I thought you would like my sudden attack. Then... just pretend that you didn't find anything. I'm leaving."
Chen Xing stood up and was about to leave, but the next second, a big warm hand grabbed the back of his neck and pushed him back irresistibly.
Chen Xing watched Xia Huanming's eyelashes grow bigger in front of his eyes.
"Wait! Um..."
[Reviewers, this section is just about kissing, nothing excessive is written.]
Chen Xing's words were lost in the overlapping breaths, crushed by the unquestionable kiss, and his lips were held again and again.
He wanted to breathe, but his teeth were pried open by the tongue, and the hot and wet tip of the tongue forcefully penetrated and entangled with his dodging tongue.
Xia Huanming's fingers rubbed soothingly, sinking deeply into his hair, gradually calming Chen Xing's panicked heart.
Chen Xinghuan wrapped his arms around Xia Huanming's neck, indulging in this gentle, long and deep kiss.
Xia Huanming thought he could endure it, but when her lips touched him, he knew he couldn't.
When he came back to his senses, he was already sucking Chen Xing's lips.
Instinct drives him to love, and instinct also drives him to kiss.
When he felt the arms around his back, he was suddenly stunned, his heart beating like a drum, hitting his chest again and again.
He closed his eyes without saying anything, and explored every corner of the other's mouth gently but passionately, tasting the sweet taste of taro balls.
The long kiss finally came to an end. Xia Huanming slowly let go of her hand, and his vision gradually became clear.
A thin silver thread connected his lips to Chen Xing's, and broke in the middle.
Chen Xingzheng looked at him with blurry eyes: "You...are so skilled, have you really never done this before?"
This light question was like a bucket of cold water, instantly waking Xia Huanming up.
He hurriedly waved his hands to explain: "No! You are my first time!"
Chen Xing touched his lips, looking at her with great admiration: "Wow, you are a genius. You won't have to practice kissing scenes in the future."
Xia Huanming frowned and called out his full name with great displeasure: "Chen Xing."
How can you not care who he kisses!
"How could you..." Before Xia Huanming could finish his words, Chen Xing held his face and kissed his pouting lips hard.
Chen Xing looked at him with a smile: "I'm just kidding. I'll be jealous if you kiss me. Don't do it. Got it?"
"...well," Xia Huanming's anger subsided again, "You really..."
"But, are you okay?" Chen Xing said again.
"What?" Xia Huanming asked.
Chen Xing pointed downwards, and Xia Huanming looked down in the direction he pointed.
Xia Huanming: “…”
"It seems that our Ah Huan is very healthy." Chen Xing covered his face, leaving just enough space for his eyes. "It's okay. I won't look at it. You can handle it here."
"..." Xia Huanming stood up quickly, "I'm going to the bathroom."
