Chapter 91 Yue Bo Happy Birthday Chen Xiaoxing
On Chen Xing's birthday, Chen Xing was quite busy. He first went to the set to shoot the last scene, which also required him to hang on wires.
Hanging on wires is both joyful and painful. The joy is that the finished product looks really handsome, but the pain is that the skin on both sides of his waist, which had finally faded, was rubbed off again, as if two ribs were forced together.
As a result, Chen Xing had to adjust his posture from time to time when talking with Sister Kang in the recording studio.
This little action was naturally discovered by Sister Kang. She didn't ask until the matter was settled, "What happened?"
Chen Xing waved his hand: "I twisted the wire, it's no big deal."
Sister Kang frowned slightly and said with concern: "Well, then you have to go back and take good care of yourself."
Chen Xing nodded repeatedly: "Yeah." He thought someone would help him "apply the medicine."
After debugging the music for a while, the final version was finally finalized.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xing packed up his things, said goodbye to Sister Kang, picked up his guitar bag and left the recording studio.
Standing in front of a frosted glass door, he straightened his collar before gently knocking on the door.
The door quickly opened from the inside, and a tall figure stood sideways.
The man was wearing a loose gray short-sleeved shirt and a white baseball cap that covered most of his face, leaving only his well-defined jawline exposed.
"Hello, brother." Chen Xing bowed slightly.
The man took off his hat, revealing a handsome face that looked like he was of mixed race. He smiled gently and said, "You're here so soon."
It turns out that the person Chen Xing was looking for was Zhang Jin'an.
Some time ago, he had made the songs that Zhang Jin'an needed, with a total of three versions of the mod, and finally chose the first version.
After the adjustments were completed, Chen Xing sent both the instrumental version and the vocal version to Zhang Jinan'an's assistant.
Today, I took the opportunity to see Sister Kang with her guitar bag and communicate with her face to face about the revision suggestions.
Through the open door, Chen Xing could see that although this simple recording studio was not as well-equipped as a professional one, it was small but fully equipped.
In addition to Zhang Jin'an, there were three other staff members discussing something in front of the computer.
Chen Xing retracted his gaze and asked, "Is there anything that needs to be changed?"
Zhang Jinan put one hand in his sweatpants pocket and answered cheerfully, "There is no problem at the moment. We are all quite satisfied. You have to help me with this matter during your acting. Thank you for your hard work."
At this time, one of the staff members behind him turned his office chair, faced them and praised: "I love your arrangement so much, especially the bass in it. The vocal slice gave me goose bumps. I heard that it only took you one week to make these three songs. Aren't you a genius?"
"The pause in the chorus is so cool, and the synthesizer is added just right. It's worthy of our money and the quality is good." Another arranger also said.
"Not only that, your acting skills have also improved rapidly," Zhang Jin'an praised him without hesitation, "It seems that you are really a genius."
Chen Xing was in a very good mood after being praised, and couldn't help but smile: "As long as you like it."
"Thank you for your hard work. It's your birthday, but you gave me the gift." Zhang Jin'an joked.
After hearing this, the staff members behind him quickly wished Chen Xing a happy birthday.
Chen Xing waved his hand and weighed his guitar bag: "Then I'm leaving! I won't bother you anymore!"
"Yeah, go ahead."
After Chen Xing left, Zhang Jin'an took a half step back and gently closed the wooden door.
“Knock…dong.”
The next second, the wooden door was pushed open again.
Xia Huanming walked out of the bedroom humming a little tune, and the cheerful melody echoed in the corridor.
"I'll wait for you at Qingshan Lake~"
Xia Huanming just walked into the living room and ran into Zhao Xingyu.
Zhao Xingyu looked him up and down and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my god, it's worthy of being a date. You're even dressed differently."
Xia Huanming was seen wearing a brown baseball cap and a mask, a mint green windbreaker, a simple white shirt underneath, neat black overalls, and khaki striped sneakers.
The most eye-catching thing is the silver necklace hanging around his neck, with a half-moon-shaped pendant hanging in the middle, which sways gently with his movements.
"The jacket is Xingxing's, and so is the necklace. He and I can't wear couple outfits so openly, so we can only match each other's colors." Xia Huanming took out his phone and shared the photo they took in the morning with Zhao Xingyu.
Zhao Xingyu looked over and saw the two of them standing in front of the mirror, like those internet celebrities and bloggers, taking several full-body photos with their shoulders against each other.
Chen Xing was wearing a mint green fake two-piece POLO shirt today, khaki short overalls with a black belt, and shoes of the same brand and model as his, in green.
It is indeed a couple's outfit.
"I guess so," Zhao Xingyu couldn't help but look at him again and nodded, "You are so lucky to have such a boyfriend. His dressing style is next level."
"Yeah, today is a good day to go out and play."
Xia Huanming's gaze passed the floor-to-ceiling window.
The sky was as blue as glass that had been repeatedly washed by clear water. The golden sunlight poured down and spread over the green lawn.
It's indeed a good day for a date.
As he thought about this, his eyes moved to the left and he suddenly saw Wang Baiyue slumped on the sofa, sighing.
With his buzz cut and the floral shirt he was wearing, Wang Baiyue looked like someone who had just been scammed.
There is a kind of despair and sadness about how stupid I was.
Xia Huanming nudged Zhao Xingyu with his elbow: "What's wrong with him?"
Zhao Xingyu spread his hands: "I had a quarrel with my sister-in-law."
These words were as psychedelic as if someone told Xia Huanming that a Himalayan volcano had erupted.
Xia Huanming was slightly surprised, and asked, turning the moon on the necklace, "They still quarrel? That's rare."
Zhao Xingyu shared what he heard about the incident in Xia Huanming's ear: "Because Brother Yue wanted to go back to his sister-in-law after the filming, his sister-in-law asked him to focus on his career first and not rush. Brother Yue asked his sister-in-law if she missed him and was secretly sad there."
Xia Huanming: "...Why do I feel like they are still showing off their affection?"
Zhao Xingyu: "I think so too."
In fact, neither of them was wrong in this matter, they were both thinking about each other.
Wang Baiyue once said that his girlfriend had been suppressed since she was a child and was almost called "Zhao Di". When they were together, he swore that he would not let her feel less secure.
That’s why during this long-distance relationship, Wang Baiyue would call at regular times and at designated locations.
However, from his girlfriend's perspective, neither of them came from wealthy families. They both lived in rented houses after graduating from college, one of them traveled around filming movies, and the other was taking a teacher qualification exam.
Now, because of this variety show, Wang Baiyue’s number of fans has skyrocketed, and the company has received more and more scripts. This is the rising period of his career.
Anyone would advise him to put his career first and strive for higher goals, let alone his partner.
"Ah..." Wang Baiyue sighed again, his voice a little louder, as if he was deliberately speaking for them to hear, "I just want to see her, am I wrong?! I didn't say I don't want to film."
Xia Huanming stepped forward and persuaded her, "Actually, I think what she said is not wrong. You are getting better now. If you keep thinking about her, she will think that she is holding you back from doing anything."
Wang Baiyue sat up straight and asked seriously, "If you two had decided to go out together a long time ago, and Chen Xing had something urgent to do that day, would you be sad or would you let him go to work out of spite?"
Xia Huanming shrugged: "He can do whatever he wants, but he still has to focus on his career."
"Is it true? So rational?" Wang Baiyue obviously didn't believe it and looked at him with suspicion.
Just then, Xia Huanming's cell phone rang.
When he saw the name on the caller ID, he smiled instantly, cleared his throat and answered the phone in the most gentle voice.
"What's wrong with wake up? Uh-huh, what? ... I picked it after I met it... There's nothing I can do about it."
Xia Huanming's expression suddenly dimmed, and the only smile on his lips disappeared.
Wang Baiyue and Zhao Xingyu looked at each other.
There is a situation.
"Okay... I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Huanming was shrouded in a low mood, and even the ends of his hair seemed to droop.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Xingyu asked cautiously.
Xia Huanming lowered his hands: "I'll have to come later if I meet Hou Cai."
"Oh, don't be sad. After all, it's the program crew's requirement." Zhao Xingyu patted his shoulder.
"That's right," Wang Baiyue pinched his throat and parroted in a sarcasm, "Then ~ you still have to focus on your career ~
Xia Huanming: “…”
Xia Huanming shot back lightly: "Yes, it's better than not seeing anyone at all."
Wang Baiyue: “?”
Wang Baiyue's mouth drooped, and he jumped up, patting the sofa: "Hey! You!"
Zhao Xingyu, who was watching the show on the side, slapped his thigh and said, "Hahahaha, why did you mess with him?"
Chen Xing had no idea that his phone call had changed the fate of both of them. After the interview, he was still happily looking forward to his next date with Xia Huanming.
The interviewing staff also noticed that he was particularly happy, and when they learned that today was his birthday, they quickly added another interview and asked him how many birthday wishes he had received today.
Chen Xing opened his phone and took a look - just after midnight, blessings came pouring in like a tide.
Weibo and fan groups were flooded with heartwarming messages. Some fans spontaneously posted a birthday ad for him on the subway, and many people went there to check in and take photos.
There is no need to talk about Lu Qing and Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu directly sent a one-minute voice message, with a photo of the birthday gift package prepared for him by the company attached.
Several friends in the band sent him private messages, and Matisse also sent him a blessing in French.
Except for his younger brother, no one in the family expressed any opinion. His aunt and uncle also posted happy birthday messages on their Moments.
And now my roommates are also very enthusiastic.
Zhao Xingyu and Xue Si Nian placed a small firework at the door of his bedroom, and the others surrounded him and came to the living room, where the table was neatly laid out with the gifts that everyone had carefully prepared.
Even the camera stand was not spared and was tied with an exquisite bow ribbon.
Chen Xing was beaming with joy when he talked about this, with the light in his eyes almost overflowing. Even the staff were infected by his happiness and started laughing unconsciously.
After the interview, the staff stood up and shook his hand to thank him: "Thank you for taking the time to cooperate with our interview."
Chen Xing also politely replied: "No, you guys are the ones who have to work harder, waiting for the contestants in such a hot day."
"Haha, happy birthday. I wish you happiness every day." The staff congratulated with a smile.
As soon as he walked out of the room, Chen Xing immediately took out his cell phone.
As expected, Xia Huanming sent him a message.
[Xia Huanming]: I'll wait for you on the lawn.
【Chen Xing】: I’ll be there right away!
His pace gradually changed from a brisk walk to a trot, and finally to a running run.
In his early years in college, he had to rush to get up early, carrying a guitar bag in his left hand and a violin bag in his right hand, and moving forward with both loads every day.
Plus he has been working out recently, so this weight is like nothing to him.
Chen Xing met a lot of people while running.
Someone learned from Qi Yinrui that it was his birthday and shouted "Happy Birthday" from afar. Chen Xing symbolically waved and said thank you, without slowing down his running speed.
A few minutes later, the familiar villa area finally came into view, as well as the eye-catching green grass.
Chen Xing ran too fast and almost missed the gate. He stopped only when his shoes rubbed against the ground.
Chen Xing leaned against the fence to catch his breath, his eyes fixed on Xia Huanming who was waiting for him.
Xia Huanming was walking on the grass, looking down at his phone, probably waiting for his message.
The slender figure is like a carefully trimmed landscape plant, and it is a landscape in itself just by standing there quietly.
The only bad thing was that the hat and mask covered Xia Huanming's face tightly, and no expression could be seen.
Are you sad? Or are you relieved to see him coming?
Several guesses flashed through Chen Xing's mind, but he quickly gave up.
What's there to guess? It's all his fault anyway.
Chen Xing walked over and apologized breathlessly: "I'm sorry! I must have kept you waiting! Ha... I'll go put my bag down!"
As he spoke, he kept stealing glances at the other person's reaction.
Xia Huanming shook his head and wiped his sweat with his sleeve: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."
Chen Xing narrowed one eye and confirmed: "You are not sad, right?"
"No," the voice behind the mask was gentle, "I know you didn't mean it."
Chen Xing was relieved then. He rubbed Xia Huanming's hand and asked him to wait for a few more minutes while he would come down after dropping off the things.
Xia Huanming nodded and said "OK".
Chen Xing quickly ran back to the second floor, took off his guitar bag, and put on a hat and mask.
In order to travel easily, he also took off his contact lenses and replaced them with ordinary black-framed glasses.
He then found the cross-body canvas bag opposite the hat in the cabinet and put the umbrella and charger in it.
After everything was ready, Chen Xing hurried downstairs and said hello to Zheng Qi: "Let's go!"
"Are you coming back for dinner?" Zheng Qi asked.
Chen Xing waved his hand: "We'll be back tomorrow!"
Zheng Qi nodded: "Be careful."
Chen Xing patted his chest and assured: "Our travel range has been set, within two kilometers."
He also told Zheng Qi that the condition for proposing an outing to the program crew was that they couldn't go too far from here, otherwise the situation would become strained.
And they also have to bring a GoPro to record their time out.
Zheng Qi nodded in understanding.
Just as Chen Xing was about to leave, Zhao Xingyu glanced around and pulled Chen Xing to a corner where there were no cameras: "In addition to traffic safety, remember to be safe in other places as well."
Any other safety?
Chen Xing tilted his head in confusion: "What?"
"Isn't this why you went out to sleep overnight?" Zhao Xingyu made an OK sign with his right hand and put his left index finger through the circle. "You have to be careful about this, too."
? !
After Chen Xing realized what Zhao Xingyu said, he suddenly became alert.
"Oh my god, now you mention it, it's true." Why didn't he think of it?
Chen Xing got a little excited just thinking about it. He really wanted to do it. The other party was stripping off his arms every day to seduce him.
But he didn't expect it to come so soon, and he wasn't ready yet.
Xia Huanming’s tent is no joke.
Chen Xing told Zhao Xingyu all his concerns. Zhao Xingyu patted Chen Xing on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. You have plenty of time to prepare. From what I know about Xia Huanming, he won't dare to move if you say no."
Chen Xing thought it made sense.
But he didn't expect one thing.
Xia Huanming was only in a clear state of mind regarding his situation.
When Xia Huanming met wine, his desire completely overwhelmed his reason and he didn't listen to him at all.
If Chen Xing knew that he would be almost fainted by Cao in 10 hours, he would never let his guard down and would not pour a drop of wine for Xia Huanming.
