Chapter 87: Yue Bo and Chen Xing are allergic to mangoes!
【Heart】: praise, kiss =3=
Xia Huanming chuckled, rubbed the phone with his thumb, and replied.
[Xia Huanming]: Waiting for you to come back
[Heart]: I have to shoot again. I won’t look at my phone yet.
After Xia Huanming sent this message, he put down his phone and said to Zheng Peiya and Xue Si Nian on the other side: "Let's continue."
"I was so scared, I thought he heard us talking." Xue Si Nian patted his chest.
The reason why the three of them felt so guilty was that they were planning a birthday surprise for Chen Xing.
Xia Huanming hoped that there would be a romantic prelude when giving gifts. As it happened that he had no part to play today, he stayed in the villa and started this "three-party meeting" with two screenwriters who were good at writing scripts.
On each person's desk was a blank page from a notebook, half a page of which had been discussed one after another.
Zheng Peiya laughed and said, "He's several kilometers away, how could anyone outside hear it?"
Xue Si Nian knocked the pen cap against the table, making a "tapping" sound. "Maybe they have a telepathic connection."
These words made Xia Huanming happy. He raised his chin slightly, snorted and lowered his head.
The two screenwriters on the opposite side saw this expression clearly.
Xue Si Nian leaned close to Zheng Peiya's ear and said, "Since Xia Huanming started dating, I feel like his aura is no longer cold."
"It's not that cold anyway." Zheng Peiya said with a smile.
The three of them got back to business.
Xue Si Nian's plan is the longest among the three of them, and is closely linked. The process is complicated and I won't go into details, but there is a surprise at the end.
Cheng Pei-ya affirmed: "This will look great if it is photographed."
"Of course," Xue Si Nian crossed her arms proudly and nodded, "The inspiration came from my grandmother's ABC Murders."
"Isn't it a bit unlucky to use this inspiration for a birthday?" Xia Huanming said.
"Yeah, I was so absorbed in writing that I forgot it was my birthday." Xue Si Nian sat up straight again.
After Xue Si Nian finished speaking, Zheng Peiya proposed her own plan. Let Xia Huanming take Chen Xing to revisit the places they had been to before, and finally give gifts to the lakeside where lotus flowers were blooming recently.
Xia Huanming listened and took notes. He thought this plan was good. It was simple and he could stay with Chen Xing.
"Isn't it too easy? Will the piglet not be so surprised?" Xue Si Nian asked, scratching his head.
"Don't worry, Xiaozhu is a person who feels happy easily," Cheng Peiya rarely showed her confident side, "I once asked him what was the most romantic thing he had ever encountered. He said that when he was recording a variety show, he passed by a flyover and saw several elderly people singing together. When he asked, he found out that they were all old classmates who were preparing to sing for their hospitalized teacher. He immediately took out his guitar and improvised accompaniment for them. After he finished singing, the onlookers applauded."
Just by listening to this passage, you can imagine it: the afterglow of the setting sun gilds the overpass, and several white-haired old men form a semicircle. In the middle, a young man holding a guitar bows his head slightly, and his slender fingers gently pluck the strings.
The melodious singing sounded in the evening breeze, passing through the crowd who stopped to listen.
Xia Huanming couldn't help but laugh: "That's definitely something he would do."
"Wow - I understand how he feels." Xue Si Nian nodded vigorously, "So warm."
Cheng Peiya said: "When that time comes, you can give him something similar to yours, such as perfume or a bag, so that he can remember you."
Xue Si Nian said excitedly: "Isn't there a term for this in psychology? Triggering memory through smell is called... the Hulusi effect."
“It must be the Proust effect.”
Chen Xing, who was squatting next to Tuberose, looked up when he heard the voice.
Qi Yinrui had one hand in his trouser pocket and raised his eyebrows at him the moment his eyes met.
"Did you hear me?" Chen Xing touched his nose embarrassedly.
At 5pm, the crew needed to shoot a sea of flowers, so they brought in some flowers, including tuberose.
The white flowers are crowded together but not messy. Each flower is slightly tilted towards a different direction, and even the swaying posture when the wind blows is very slight.
The midday sun shone obliquely, and the shadows of the flowers fell on the blue brick ground, breaking into a piece of swaying snow.
Chen Xing moved closer and sniffed.
It was a very overbearing fragrance, like a handful of mint mixed in the rich sweet fragrance of gardenia. When it was too strong to be dissolved, a hint of freshness suddenly came through.
Chen Xing was immediately happy. So this is what the scent of tuberose without jasmine smells like?
He blurted out unintentionally: "Xia Huanming's Jasmine is just right."
As a result, Qi Yinrui heard this sentence and answered him with this sentence.
"What is the Proust effect?" Chen Xing asked Qi Yinrui again.
Qi Yinrui slowly squatted down and stared at the tuberose with Chen Xing: "Didn't you say that smelling this would remind you of Xia Huanming? This is the Proust effect."
"Oh..." Chen Xing looked at Qi Yinrui with admiration, "Brother Rui, you are so understanding."
Qi Yinrui smiled and said, "After all, in romance dramas, when the protagonist is obsessed with the other party, there will always be such moments of thinking about the person when seeing something."
This was almost like saying that Chen Xing's longing was too obvious.
Chen Xing was not shy at all, instead he smiled and said, "Because this is the first time I like someone so much."
"You are really straightforward. You and Xia Huanming complement each other very well." Qi Yinrui touched the swaying lily with his fingertips, and the flower tilted slightly and raised stubbornly.
Chen Xing's gaze shifted from tuberose to his cell phone.
There were no new WeChat messages, but there was a text message.
--Are you there.
——Grandma came out of the ICU.
Combined with that number.
Chen Xing immediately understood that it was his aunt who forced his younger brother to send him a message under the pretext that his grandmother's condition had improved, in order to take the opportunity to apologize.
Chen Xing stared at his phone and thought for a few seconds, then looked at Qi Yinrui: "Brother Rui, do you have any ideas for dealing with this naughty kid?"
"If we take away computers and cell phones, we can discipline most of the naughty kids," Qi Yinrui glanced at his cell phone, "What's wrong, do you have any naughty kids at home?"
Chen Xing felt that his words were biased, and added a few key words: "Adolescence is accompanied by arrogance, and it often comes to me for inexplicable reasons."
"He's just bored," Qi Yinrui said bluntly, "Just give him a few sets of exercises."
"Oh, that's right." Chen Xing's eyes lit up and he immediately opened the shopping app.
Choose twelve sets of exercises for each subject, pay quickly, and they will be delivered to your door the day after tomorrow.
He took a screenshot and forwarded it to his aunt: "I bought him some exercises, please remember to urge him to finish them."
[Auntie]: Thank you Xingxing, thank you so much
[Auntie]: Take good care of yourself.
[Auntie]: Grandma has extra money, I will return it to you [transfer 20,000 yuan]
Chen Xing locked the screen without collecting the payment: "Okay, I bought dozens of sets in total, enough for him to write."
"That's cruel enough," Qi Yinrui gave a thumbs up.
"Besides, I had a quarrel with my brother. They are now looking for an opportunity to make that guy apologize to me. For my sake, they will definitely keep an eye on him until he finishes the job." Chen Xing said with certainty.
He knew his aunt and uncle too well. From childhood to adulthood, whenever his younger brother did something wrong, these two would ask him to apologize to them or ask him to come up with some measures to make up for it, and they would satisfy him.
Now in their view, what Chen Xing did was to give them a way out, and they would be fools if they didn't take advantage.
Qi Yinrui laughed: "You have a plan."
As we were chatting, Yaya came over happily with a plastic bag in her hand: "They are all here. Come on, try the sandwich cookies I just bought. This shop is very famous. There was a long queue."
The two stood up, and Qi Yinrui took out a yellow biscuit from the box: "You bought so many?"
"There were more," Yaya turned the bag towards Chen Xing, "I bought three boxes in total. I met Su Yanqiu on the way and gave him one box to share."
Qi Yinrui put the biscuit into his mouth and took a light bite.
The soft cookie crust breaks between the teeth, the warm lava filling instantly gushes out, and the sweet scent spreads in the mouth.
"It's delicious!" Su Yanqiu swallowed the biscuit, showing a satisfied smile, pointing to the biscuit box on the table, and strongly recommended it to the three people opposite him, "It's even more delicious."
Xue Si Nian picked up a yellow piece and asked Su Yanqiu: "Where did you get this from?"
"I met Yaya on my way back from our group, and she gave me this and asked me to share it." Su Yanqiu thought for a moment and answered truthfully, "This yellow one is pineapple flavored."
Su Yanqiu asked Xia Huanming, but Xia Huanming waved his hand, saying that he didn't like sweet things, and lowered his head to read the script again.
Zheng Peiya tasted it and praised it for being delicious. After observing the filling of the biscuit, she said, "It's not just pineapple, it seems there's also mango."
"Really?" Su Yanqiu said, "Who cares? As long as it tastes good, I'm not allergic to it."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Someone who was reading the script suddenly stood up and asked Su Yanqiu: "By the way, allergy! Did Chen Xing eat it?!"
The voice was a little loud, and the impatient look made Su Yanqiu a little confused: "I, I don't know, maybe eat it, everyone has a share."
"Tsk." Xia Huanming hurriedly called Chen Xing.
"Oh, yes, Yaya didn't know that Piggy was allergic to mangoes." Xue Si Nian understood immediately and explained to Su Yanqiu, "If Yaya hadn't told you what it tasted like, Piggy might not have known and would have eaten it by mistake."
Su Yanqiu immediately understood: "Oh, so that's how it is. That's really worrying."
He looked at Xia Huanming. Xia Huanming checked the time on his phone, which was five forty-seven, and immediately dialed the number.
A brisk voice came from the other end of the phone: "What's the matter?"
Xia Huanming had no time to appreciate this lovely tone, and his voice unconsciously rose: "Did you eat any cookies?"
"I ate it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the living room opened automatically.
Xia Huanming turned around and saw Chen Xing walking in with his cell phone in hand.
Without giving it a second thought, he rushed forward, held Chen Xing's face with both hands, and nervously checked his neck and behind his ears.
Chen Xing's face was crumpled into a ball, his mouth pouted unconsciously, and he looked at others for help in confusion.
Xue Si Nian raised her hands and shrugged, while Zheng Peiya huddled her hands in front of her face, seeming to be worried about the current situation.
What's going on? Chen Xing still didn't understand.
After a careful examination, Xia Huanming found no allergic rash. He was relieved, but when he thought that the reaction might not have appeared yet, he frowned again: "How do you feel now? Is your neck itchy?"
"What do you mean itchy or not?" Chen Xing was still confused.
Xia Huanming held Chen Xing's face with both hands, and his voice became a little louder due to anxiety, sounding like: "There is mango in that cookie, how can you eat it?!"
“Oh—” The person who was caught by both hands showed a look of realization and said vaguely, “You are talking about the Hawaiian flavor. I didn’t eat that. I ate the matcha flavor.”
"Matcha?" Xia Huanming was stunned and his hand loosened unconsciously.
"Yes, there are two flavors. Su Yanqiu should know it too." Chen Xingchong raised his chin behind him.
Xia Huanming turned back and stared at Su Yanqiu, who nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's why I said I don't know whether he ate or not."
Xia Huanming: “…”
Xia Huanming was about to speak when the corner of his clothes was tugged twice. He lowered his head slightly and looked down. Chen Xing was looking at him with innocent eyes and said softly, "I'm fine, don't be so fierce..."
Chen Xing's appearance actually looks handsome and sunny to outsiders.
But Xia Huanming just thought it was cute.
After hearing what his lovely lover said, Xia Huanming felt relieved. He leaned against Chen Xing as if he had let out all the energy. He rested his forehead on Chen Xing's shoulder and hugged him tightly.
"I'm not mean, I'm just scared..." Xia Huanming's hands were shaking a little, "I thought you didn't know and ate it. What if you have an allergic reaction? You're going to be sick again."
Chen Xing gently comforted him: "I asked Yaya before eating it, and now Yaya knows about my allergies."
"Well, that's good." Xia Huanming rubbed the ends of Chen Xing's hair affectionately.
The familiar scent of shampoo suddenly made him feel at ease.
Xia Huanming was enjoying himself when Chen Xing's voice rang quietly beside his ear: "But is it okay for you to hold me like this? Are there cameras? Or are we going to reveal this to the show crew?"
Xia Huanming then suddenly looked up.
All eight cameras in the living room were pointed at the two of them, and the scene of him rubbing against Chen Xing and acting coquettishly had been recorded completely.
Xia Huanming: “…”
Xue Si Nian on the opposite side was leaning on Zheng Peiya's shoulder and laughing softly. The only straight man, Su Yanqiu, was looking at the two of them innocently.
Xia Huanming was not flustered at all. He put his arm around Chen Xing's shoulders and explained to Su Yanqiu in a very righteous voice: "Because we sleep together at night, we should care about each other more."
Those who understood had already realized that Xia Huanming was conveying to Su Yanqiu the relationship between him and Xia Huanming.
And it's already quite explicit.
As a result, they underestimated the value of true straight men.
Su Yanqiu suddenly understood something, clapped his hands and said, "Oh - your bed is broken?"
Everyone: “…”
