Chapter 88 The moon is long and Xia Huanming is not afraid of ghosts.
“Hahahahahahaha!”
Zhao Xingyu's laughter echoed in the living room.
At this moment, the twilight has completely faded, and thick night covers the room.
The people who had gone out to record the show had already returned. After Su Yanqiu left, everyone listened to Xue Si Nian recounting the "coming out" incident that happened that afternoon. Wang Baiyue and Zhao Xingyu laughed so hard that they were about to cry. They slammed their heads on the table like crazy.
"The old horse has stumbled, Xia Huanming, you can actually be careless sometimes." Wang Baiyue took the opportunity to tease Xia Huanming.
"To be honest, what you said was indeed a bit too obscure. It's normal that he doesn't understand." Zheng Qi said something fair.
Xia Huanming glanced at Chen Xing who was eating crayfish next to him, and nodded, "Now that I think about it, it is true, but the camera was still on at the time, so it was difficult to tell him directly."
It is now ten o'clock in the evening. All the photographers have gone home and the covers of the cameras have been closed.
The seven of them gathered together as usual, eating snacks and chatting. Today, Xia Huanming and Chen Xing also ordered crayfish, three flavors: thirteen spices, spicy, and garlic, a total of four portions, all placed on the coffee table in front of the sofa. Several people sat on the floor, and each person had an iron bowl for garbage next to them.
Among them, Chen Xing ate the most seriously, with his bangs clipped aside as if they would block his view of the lobster.
While everyone was chatting about what happened in the morning, he was already wearing plastic gloves and silently licking half a basin of crayfish.
Xue Si Nian stared at Chen Xing's skillful shrimp peeling movements, and suddenly realized: "I was wondering why there were four servings of the three flavors. It turns out that the piglet was so tired of eating that he couldn't have any of it, so he ordered a special portion for himself."
Chen Xing gave a thumbs up.
Really understand him.
"Do you remember when Big Brother asked us in the first episode what we thought of in the summer, and you said crayfish," Cheng Pei-ya said with a smile, "Now it's finally summer, and we can finally eat crayfish."
"Hmm," Chen Xing could only make vague sounds while chewing a piece of meat.
He suddenly felt itchy on his head, and realized that the clamp had loosened, so Chen Xing rubbed his shoulder against Xia Huanming next to him.
Xia Huanming, who was chatting, turned his head and saw Chen Xing's eyes rolled upwards twice. Following his gaze, he saw that the clip between his bangs was about to fall off.
Xia Huanming immediately understood what he meant. He gently combed Chen Xing's hair with his fingertips, re-clipped the hair, and then took a napkin to wipe the red juice from the corner of Chen Xing's mouth.
Zhao Xingyu originally wanted to laugh at what Xia Huanming did that afternoon, but when he saw this scene, he was speechless: "I think you can show off more than Brother Yue."
Xia Huanming ignored him and helped Chen Xing wipe his mouth.
Chen Xing smiled at him, and Xia Huanming also smiled faintly.
"Otherwise, Xia Huanming is still a little behind me," Wang Baiyue shook the cup in his hand proudly, "I usually peel it for Yueyue."
Everyone was silent, and the only sound in the living room was the sound of Chen Xing eating shrimp.
A minute later, Zhao Xingyu took a sip of Coke and said silently: "...You are really in love."
Wang Baiyue didn't take it to heart at all. Instead, he shook his head and said, "Don't worry. From what I know about you, if you date, you will definitely go further than both of us."
"That won't happen," Zhao Xingyu rubbed his phone and said confidently, "I'll recommend it to be the best in the world."
Zheng Peiya nodded secretly: "I understand, I understand."
Wang Baiyue: "...I can't stand you guys in the second dimension anymore."
Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became even more joyful.
While we were chatting and laughing, the midnight snack was over and everyone started to clean up.
Chen Xing and Zheng Qi went to throw away the garbage.
The stars in the night sky twinkle like broken diamonds, and the moonlight flows quietly among them, softening the outlines of thousands of stars.
Chen Xing looked at the sky, and recalled the first time he and Xia Huanming took out the trash, they were just polite members.
Now they are in a relationship.
Time flies so fast. The days of getting together to eat and drink like this will soon be over - the Milky Way may no longer be the same Milky Way anymore.
Zheng Qi closed the lid of the trash can and found Chen Xing staring at the night sky in a daze, and couldn't help but smile.
He must be thinking about Xia Huanming again.
So he asked, "When are you going to tell others about it?"
Chen Xing came back to his senses, scratched the back of his neck and replied, "We have to wait until the show is over. We still hope that everyone will focus on the acting. It's okay for Su Yanqiu not to know now. When the show is aired, there will be a big surprise."
"I think it's shock," Zheng Qi laughed, "just like me."
Zheng Qi plays a patriarch-like role in the team of people working in Hen Lunch Box. Perhaps because of his age and experience, everyone would go to him for a heart-to-heart talk whenever something happened, so he should understand everyone better than others.
Chen Xing naturally also looked for him. In his opinion, Chen Xing's inner self was more mature and stable than his outward personality.
To use a metaphor from a martial arts novel, Xia Huanming is the leader of a certain sect who has practiced martial arts diligently since childhood. He is upright and often saves people from danger; while Chen Xing is a martial arts master who has never liked to follow the rules and has a carefree attitude. He is kind and playful to people, but always appears at the critical moment and reliably stabilizes the situation.
Both of them are frequently appearing supporting characters in the novel, always appearing in a confrontational posture, but here they become lovers.
Moreover, he had long regarded Chen Xing as his real brother, so when Chen Xing said that he was with Xia Huanming, Zheng Qi was extremely shocked.
"Fortunately, I recalled your interactions later, and I suddenly understood. It turned out to be a matter of time." Zheng Qi took Chen Xing's shoulder and patted him, "I hope you two will be together forever."
"Yeah." Chen Xing nodded vigorously, his eyes full of seriousness.
"I don't think you guys would quarrel. It seems like you guys are quite accommodating to each other." Zheng Qi asked again.
Chen Xing nodded again and replied: "We agreed that if anything happens, we will talk about it directly."
After hearing this, Zheng Qi laughed and patted Chen Xing on the shoulder: "That's indeed your personality."
The two walked back to the villa while chatting. The living room had been tidy and all the items had been returned to their original places.
Seeing that it was getting late, everyone said hello to each other and went back to their rooms to sleep.
Chen Xing and Xia Huanming slept on Chen Xing's bed this time, which made Xia Huanming feel very happy. He was surrounded by Chen Xing's scent.
Xia Huanming held Chen Xing in his arms like a giant doll, kissed him on the face a few times, and sighed with some regret: "I have to stand up tomorrow, and I won't be able to see you again."
What Xia Huanming meant by "standing tall and firm" is a jargon used during filming, referring to a person who shoots from beginning to end, the first one to start filming and the last one to finish.
Xia Huanming has to arrive at the filming location at seven o'clock tomorrow and will not finish until nine o'clock in the evening.
Chen Xing also found out in the third episode. Director Yu said that he had to "stand tall and upright" in the next show. This was the term Xia Huanming explained to him.
Chen Xing lay back, touched Xia Huanming's slightly drooping eyelids, and consoled him, "It's okay. I'm going to the practice room to rehearse with Du He and the others tomorrow. You can watch me on the live broadcast."
Xia Huanming nodded.
The two of them cuddled together for a while before Chen Xing gradually felt sleepy and slowly fell asleep.
The next day, when Chen woke up, Xia Huanming had already left. He got up and changed into going-out clothes - a cobalt blue short-sleeved shirt with white sun-protection sleeves, white knee-length shorts showing under his shirt, and a bracelet given by Guoguo on his wrist.
He stood in front of the floor-length mirror, took two photos and sent them to Xia Huanming, then went downstairs to have breakfast.
While having breakfast, Xia Huanming also sent a photo. It was a selfie of him in ancient costume as a nobleman, with wide sleeves lightly rolled up, a neatly crowned hair, and a look of aloofness and nobility between his brows. In front of him was a bowl of steaming fried vermicelli.
[My Home Calls]: Good looking
[My family’s call]: I took a photo and had dinner first
[Chen Xing]: "An ancient prince traveled to the modern era, and because he had no money, he could only work as an extra"
[My Family Calls]: Then you adopt me
【Chen Xing】: Yes, come to my house, food and lodging are provided, hehe (-u-\)
After Chen Xing finished his breakfast, he read the script again in the living room, memorized his lines, and did not go out until ten o'clock.
Su Yanqiu happened to be at the door. He was wearing a simple short-sleeved shirt and looked in a good mood.
"Why are you here?" Chen Xing asked.
"I came to see Master Zhao." Su Yanqiu said, "I didn't have any filming today. Zhao Xingyu said he would rehearse with me in the practice room today."
Chen Xing's eyes lit up and he said, "What a coincidence! I also want to go to the practice room. Let's go together then."
The two of them waited downstairs for a while, and Zhao Xingyu came down from the second floor, and the three of them went to the practice room together.
The three of them chatted as they walked. After all, Zhao Xingyu and Chen Xing were both talkative people, and Su Yanqiu acted as a "comma" between them.
For example, Zhao Xingyu said: "Baldur's Gate is good, but it has too much text, and I feel dizzy when reading it."
Su Yanqiu would say: "But then again..."
Chen Xing continued: "After all, the most exciting thing here is the gameplay and plot."
Su Yanqiu added: "But besides this..."
Zhao Xingyu said: "Board's real-time animation is also excellent."
In this way, with the help of Su Yanqiu, their conversation never stopped. They chatted all the way until they walked into the floor and were about to go to different rooms. Only then did Chen Xing and Zhao Xingyu realize that they had been chatting all the way.
Zhao Xingyu covered his throat and felt a dryness in his throat. "Oh my god, my mouth is dry after talking for the first time."
"It's really interesting to listen to you talk." Su Yanqiu said with a smile.
"I'm going to drink some water too." Chen Xing waved at them and walked into the practice room that was changing rapidly.
Du He and Dong Jiahao inside were looking at their phones. They looked up when they heard someone coming in.
After finding out that it was Chen Xing, Du He stood up to greet him: "Oh, you're here so soon. I was just about to go and greet you."
"Shall we start now?" Chen Xing asked, putting down his backpack.
"No, wait for one more person." Du He began to adjust the live broadcast settings. "Speaking of live broadcast, do you know what happened to Su Yanqiu last time? I just heard about it from Lao Qi today."
Chen Xing nodded: "I know, Ah Huan told me."
Ever since the production team announced the team change list five days ago, the number of people watching the live broadcast has been exceptionally large in the past few days.
Especially the lunch box without lid and the ever-changing group.
The audience always joked that they replaced Chen Xing because of his performance. The uncovered lunch box was about to injure an abstract general, making "The Show Ends Here" the first of the abstract team.
Unexpectedly, the simple-minded Su Yanqiu suddenly appeared.
It was a sunny afternoon, and "No Cover for Lunch Box" was broadcasting live as usual. Everyone read the comments one by one and answered the questions in the comments.
When it was Su Yanqiu's turn, he read out the fan's online name in a serious tone: "This netizen named 'Watching live broadcasts to accumulate negative karma' said..."
Before he could finish his words, the live broadcast room of "Uncovered Lunch Box" was instantly banned, and the incident once again became a hot topic.
However, this time Weibo took action on its own, deleting the #盒饭没盖积阴阴德# super topic square and suppressing this trending search, so that not too much of this part was revealed.
But this incident still remained in the super topic of Hefan Meigai, and because of this incident, everyone had a substantial understanding of Su Yanqiu's innocence.
Since then, the ID has changed, and the live broadcast room of "盒饭没盖" has changed from the image of the anchor to the image of the netizen.
"When Xia Huanming told me this, I almost laughed to death. He is so talented!" said Chen Xing.
“Hahahaha, that’s right.”
Chen Xing and the others were chatting when the door opened again.
This was the person Du He and the others were waiting for—Li Mu, who was wearing a zipped-up sportswear and flip-flops.
"Hello, Xiaozhu." Li Mu walked up to Chen Xing enthusiastically and teased him with a smile, "I saw your live broadcast. I feel like you are more like a member of this team than I am."
"No, everyone is easy to talk to." Chen Xing was surprised by Li Mu's appearance. "I heard from Group 1 that they are very busy. How come you have time..."
Dong Jiahao at the side explained: "He has already finished filming, so I came to take a look."
Chen Xing suddenly realized: "Oh——"
Li Mu took out his phone and winked at them: "Don't worry, you guys act your part, I'll watch from the side."
Li Mu did as he said and sat there looking at his phone while they were rehearsing.
Chen Xing listened to the opera seriously, but Du He rehearsed the opera in a different style.
He is a practical person and can't explain it clearly verbally. Every time he would pull Chen Xing up to perform: "Come, try it once and you will understand." Then he would lead Chen Xing to perform it once.
This method is suitable for talented actors, such as Xia Huanming, but Chen Xing is obviously not this type.
Therefore, Dong Jiahao played a key role here. He used the method of splitting to break down each of Du He's demonstration movements and guide Chen Xing to think about the key things.
[Du Hao's cooperation is invincible. I want to watch their rivalry again]
[Du Hao takes good care of Xiao Zhu, it seems like he is giving her 2-on-1 tutoring]
[Add a Rui Fox, and the configuration is no longer invincible]
[I feel that Xiaozhu's acting is much better than at the beginning. So amazing]
[What is Mu-ge watching? Is it a cool-down special? ]
【Let’s not talk about the editor】
[Did you watch yesterday’s cool-down special? It’s very interesting, you must watch it]
Chen Xing looked at the comments and was confused about what Li Mu was looking at.
During the break, he walked over to Li Mu, squatted down and asked him, "Brother Mu, what are you looking at?"
"It was the cool-down special that was released yesterday. I didn't know everyone's reactions were so funny." Li Mu showed Chen Xing his phone. "You and Huang Canni's reactions were also quite funny. Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"
"Yes, I particularly like watching horror movies and playing horror games." Chen Xing answered as he watched with Li Mu.
The upper left corner of the screen displays the series: "Acting First Extra: Cooling Off Special (Part 1)".
The progress bar has reached the halfway point, just in time for Zhao Xingyu and Jiang Ke to appear.
In the picture, Zhao Xingyu and Jiang Ke are groping their way in the dark corridor.
Jiang Ke walked in front, and Zhao Xingyu walked behind. The two chattered non-stop, trying to dispel the atmosphere of fear with small talk.
But the two of them said different things, which sounded completely irrelevant and was particularly funny.
Zhao Xingyu: "Which noodle shop do you think is the best?"
Jiang Ke: "It looks like it will be sunny and then cloudy today."
Zhao Xingyu: "Last time, Xiaozhu and I went to a grocery store and they actually sold electric fans."
Jiang Ke: "The third model to appear in the 2018 Spring/Autumn show is Alyssa Daniel."
[I laughed so hard that I fainted. What are you two talking about?]
[The two cowards were also grouped together]
[Ahhh, I was scared before, but I really laughed here]
[Playing me and my friend, right? ]
【Xingke szd】
[High-energy warning ahead]
At this moment, the floor in front of them suddenly cracked, and a coffin as tall as Zhao Xingyu jumped out from the ground. The coffin lid made a creaking sound as it rubbed against the ground, and dozens of round objects rolled down.
There is a drawing in the lower right corner of the program explaining that those balls are fake eyeballs.
But the two people at the scene didn't know the truth and burst into screams at the same time.
“Aaaaaaaa——”
“Help—”
Zhao Xingyu instinctively wanted to dodge back, but as soon as his fingertips touched Jiang Ke's sleeve, he jumped back as if he had been electrocuted. He must have suddenly remembered that the other person was a girl.
Zhao Xingyu had no choice but to hug himself tightly and curl up into a ball, shouting: "I'm still young, I'm still young, I'm still young, it's fake, fake..."
Looking pitiful, weak and helpless.
[Hahahahaha Xingyu is so cowardly]
[Cowardly and silly, hahahaha, so cute]
[I am almost laughing so hard, it is so effective, no wonder there are so many shots]
[A sharp contrast to the group of Rui Ge and Xia Huanming]
Li Mu was also amused and said thoughtfully: "Zhao Xingyu and Jiang Ke really made me laugh to death. From what I see, Zhao Xingyu should be the one who is most afraid of ghosts."
Chen Xing nodded: "He is about the same as Xia Huanming."
Li Mu was stunned and turned to look at Chen Xing: "Are you talking about Xia Huanming?"
Chen Xing: “Yes.”
Li Mu frowned: "Who told you that he is afraid of ghosts?"
Chen Xing shrugged: "Because we met him later. Xia Huanming was very scared at the time and kept hiding behind me."
Li Mu tilted his head in confusion and said, "But I remember he was not afraid of ghosts. When we were filming at that time, we had to pass through a deserted amusement park when we were going back home late at night. He was the one walking in front. He said he was an atheist, so he was not afraid of ghosts."
Now it was Chen Xing's turn to be stunned.
But now he can still recall Xia Huanming's pitiful eyes at that time, and how he held his arm and never left his side?
Is it fake?
That's impossible. It's obvious that he is afraid of ghosts.
"Could it be that he is afraid of ghosts again?" Li Mu was no longer sure after hearing what Chen Xing said. He turned to the part where Xia Huanming and Qi Yinrui appeared. "It's okay. You will know after watching this part."
Chen Xing nodded.
The two of them looked intently and saw Xia Huanming and Qi Yinrui, who had received the keys, were about to leave in the moonlit bedroom.
With a "click", the mechanism started.
They both turned back at the same time.
The ghost doll fell from the bedside table, making a creepy laugh.
"Two~ cluck cluck-cluck-cluck-"
"Two~two~cluck-cluck--"
A red light suddenly flashed in the ghost doll's eyes, and it rushed towards the two people while laughing.
At this time, the program team broadcast a close-up shot of the doll: the pottery fragments on the upper half of its face were incomplete, leaving only a single ruby-like eye shining brightly.
There are obvious marks of stitching on the neck and the whole body is covered with sewing lines; the strangest thing is that under the pants are not legs, but a device similar to a car roller.
Such an alternative combination and the caption next to it, "made up of several babies", made Chen Xing, who was sitting across the screen, feel a chill down his spine, let alone the people who were at the scene.
If Xia Huanming was really scared, he should have reacted.
Sure enough, Xia Huanming and Qi Yinrui at the door seemed to be frightened and did not move.
Seeing Xia Huanming’s “stunned” reaction, Chen Xing was just about to confirm that they were indeed afraid of ghosts.
The next second, Xia Huanming moved.
When the ghost doll was only fifty centimeters away from the two of them, Xia Huanming suddenly squatted down, grabbed the doll's head, lifted it up and shook it next to his ear.
It seemed to be confirming whether there was anything inside.
After making sure that it was empty, Xia Huanming stood up and threw the doll back onto the bed like trash. He turned around and said to Qi Yinrui, "This thing is useless. It's just for scaring people. Let's go."
After saying that, he walked away with his hands in his pockets, expressionless.
Chen Xing outside the screen: “?”
