Gu Yanshen had a dream in which there were many chickens crowing.
The noise was so loud, it gave him a headache. When he opened his eyes, he saw the little culprit, the rooster, lying on the ground.
The little rooster raised his proud neck, ran on his short legs and crowed, the sound was so loud that it almost blew the roof off.
Looking at the owner of the little rooster again, he was curled up like a caterpillar, with only half of his chestnut head showing. He was curled up in the quilt without any movement, and had no intention of getting up to catch the rooster.
Unable to bear it any longer, Gu Yanshen lifted the quilt and got out of bed to catch the chicken. Unexpectedly, the little rooster had short legs and ran very fast. It slipped into the bathroom without anyone noticing and was caught on the spot by Gu Yanshen who chased into the bathroom.
After turning off the alarm, Gu Yanshen suddenly felt that the whole world was quiet.
Holding the cock's comb, he threw the little rooster on Lu Wenxing's bedside table. He glanced inadvertently at Lu Wenxing who was "soundly sleeping", and then he realized something was wrong.
The person on the bed had red cheeks and furrowed brows, as if he was having difficulty breathing. Gu Yanshen reached out and pushed Lu Wenxing, trying to wake him up, but was burned by the temperature of Lu Wenxing's body. He touched Lu Wenxing's forehead and found that he had a fever.
"Would you like some water?"
Lu Wenxing's throat was so dry that it was smoking. He licked his dry lips and wanted to drink some water, but he didn't dare to take it even if Gu Yanshen poured it for him.
Just as he was daydreaming, a glass of water was handed to him. Lu Wenxing thought to himself that he was afraid, but his hands honestly took it for him.
He took a few quick gulps before catching his breath and whispered his thanks.
He has a hoarse voice and a heavy nasal sound, he must have a bad cold.
"Tell the director team, if it doesn't work, go to the hospital and get an IV."
Lu Wenxing refused firmly. He didn’t want to be covered in the smell of disinfectant, and his dizzy head shook like a rattle.
"Then you should sleep a little longer."
Lu Wenxing wanted to nod, but was worried about missing the filming. The main reason was that the remuneration given by the program crew was quite a lot, almost catching up with his income for half a year. Lu Wenxing was embarrassed to take the money and lie in bed to rest.
He had heard from Wei Ze before that many small celebrities who had not been exposed did not get much money for appearing on variety shows. They were purely for the opportunity to show their faces, and there was a possibility that they could be replaced at any time.
After making this comparison, Lu Wenxing felt that the program crew he met was still very conscientious, and he should get up and continue working.
Gu Yanshen didn't give Lu Wenxing a chance to get out of bed. He took the glass from his hand and said, "You lie down. I'll go talk to the director team."

Wen family.
Wen Zheng's cold face was reflected in the mirror. He looked himself up and down, and only walked out of the room after making sure he was neatly dressed.
As he closed the door, he noticed that the door to the next room was opened a crack.
Wen Zheng didn't think much about it and pushed the door open and walked in. Ji Yuan was standing in front of the desk near the balcony, carefully wiping the photo frame.
"mom."
"Xiao Zheng." Ji Yuan turned around and looked at Wen Zheng's suit. "Are you going to the company on weekends too?"
"Well, something happened." Wen Zheng walked forward and took the cloth and photo frame from Ji Yuan, "Let me do it."
His eyes were fixed on the photo, and his sharp brows gradually softened.
The photo shows a child of about four or five years old. He is holding a big trophy in his arms, with a bright smile on his face and his eyes shining as if they were filled with stars.
This photo was taken when my younger brother participated in a children's street dance competition.
Wen Zheng still remembers his younger brother running up to him with the trophy in his arms, asking for praise.
"Brother, I won the championship. Isn't that awesome?"
Ji Yuan looked at the boy in the photo, her gentle eyes revealing deep longing.
"I'm going to G City tomorrow."
Ji Yuan's eyes paused, and she responded softly.
"I have already communicated with the family in G City over the phone. They said that the child is exactly 20 years old this year, the same age as Xingxing. And..." Wen Zheng paused, as if trying to calm the emotions surging in his heart.
"The police station has a record. He and Xingxing were reported missing on the same day."
Ji Yuan suddenly raised her head, her pupils dilated slightly, and she covered her mouth with her hand, trying hard to resist the urge to cry.
Wen Zheng handed the photo frame to Ji Yuan and patted her shoulder comfortingly. "I haven't seen the photo yet, so I can't be sure that he is Xingxing, but even if he is not, he should..."
"I think I've seen the stars."
＊＊＊
It was almost noon when Lu Wenxing woke up. His fever had subsided, but his throat was very hoarse and his cough had worsened.
The winter in G City is very cold, with a temperature difference of more than ten degrees from City C where Lu Wenxing lives. The coat Lu Wenxing wore yesterday was not very thick, so he might have caught a cold when he went out to eat last night.
The others have gone out on missions, and now Lu Wenxing is the only one left.
Remembering that he had added Gu Yanshen as a friend in the morning, Lu Wenxing picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Gu Yanshen.
【ET】Where are you?
【. 】Cinema
【.】There are cold medicine and antipyretic medicine on the table
Lu Wenxing turned around and saw a note on the box with the name of the medicine. It should be the medicine prepared by the program team.
【ET】Thank you, Teacher Gu
After Lu Wenxing finished posting, he posted a picture of a little penguin bowing.
[ET] What is your task today? Ticket seller at a movie theater?
【. 】almost
【.】It means that you cannot be recognized
【ET】……
It is a bit difficult not to be recognized for guests who are often on the hot search list, such as Gu Yanshen, Song Jiajia and Li Xiangming.
If you are assigned to the ticket counter or beverage counter, you will be too conspicuous and it will be difficult not to be recognized when you have to communicate with customers.
But if you are the ticket collector at the entrance of the theater, you don’t need to talk much and you can hide for a longer time.
Lu Wenxing felt that he was right to snatch Wen Yu away yesterday, and now Gu Yanshen can still team up with Wen Yu.
【ET】What kind of work was assigned to you?
【. 】Selling popcorn
Today is the weekend and the cinema is very crowded. Lu Wenxing can't help much, so after thinking about it, he sent Gu Yanshen an emoticon pack saying "Come on!"
Well, the spirit is with Gu Yanshen.
…
Lu Wenxing's cold did not get better after the recording of the program, and it became more serious. He later had to get an IV drip.
The physical problem is not something I can control. The director team expressed their understanding, but also a little regretful.
On the first night after arriving in G City, the director team was quite optimistic about Lu Wenxing. He was good-looking and had a strong sense of variety shows, but he didn't know how to get shots for himself.
I thought I would be able to earn a lot of shots by following Gu Yanshen on the mission the next day, but I caught a cold and couldn't even attend the recording.
"It's okay, go back and take good care of yourself, and wait for your return in the second episode."
Before leaving, Song Jiajia said goodbye to Lu Wenxing, and when she saw Gu Yanshen behind him, she asked quietly, "How about we team up for the second period?"
Before Lu Wenxing could say anything, Gu Yanshen pulled him back, his rejection obvious.
Song Jiajia was not discouraged. "Don't you think swapping teammates is actually very topical? I think the audience will like it very much."
Gu Yanshen naturally did not agree. Song Jiajia was just joking. She and Wen Miao got along pretty well, but seeing that Gu Yanshen always had a blank expression on his face, she couldn't help but tease him a little.
Song Jiajia said a few words to Lu Wenxing, and at the urging of his assistant, he pushed his suitcase and left.
Gu Yanshen was not in a hurry to leave. He had an announcement tomorrow in G City. His assistant had already booked a hotel near his workplace for him. He would wait for the nanny car to arrive before leaving.
Wen Yu and Lu Wenxing left together, both returning to City C. The assistant booked a flight for Wen Yu that was destined for the same destination as Lu Wenxing's.
It’s just that Wen Yu was in first class, while Lu Wenxing was in economy class.
"Can you upgrade to first class? It's more comfortable than economy class. You're still sick and it's not comfortable to sit on a plane for a long time."
"No, thank you."
"Wen Xing, please listen to Brother Yu. You are sitting in economy class. If you feel unwell later, we won't be able to take care of you. Brother Yu is very worried about you."
"Thank you for your concern, but it's really not necessary."
Lu Wenxing had a cold and was not feeling well. It had nothing to do with whether he was sitting in first class or economy class. For him, the flight was only a little over three hours.
Moreover, Xie Chengfei will come to pick him up at the airport, and Lu Wenxing doesn't want his family to have contact with Wen Yu.
After passing the security check, Wen Yu went to the VIP waiting room. Lu Wenxing sat on a lounge chair in the lobby waiting for the flight, lowering his head to send a message to Xie Chengfei.
It was already 8:30 in the evening when Lu Wenxing got off the plane.
Xie Chengfei was holding a cup of milk tea and handed it to Lu Wenxing when he saw him.
"Give."
“Is it cold outside?”
"The wind is quite strong, wear a scarf." Xie Chengfei took out a gray scarf from his bag and wrapped Lu Wenxing tightly.
Xie Chengfei still felt it was not enough, so he put his hat on Lu Wenxing's head and said, "Okay. Let's go out."
Xie Chengfei deliberately pulled the hat down a little to block the cold wind outside. Lu Wenxing's mouth and nose were buried in the scarf, leaving only a pair of clear eyes exposed.
"How do you want me to drink milk tea?"
"Who said it was for you? This is what I want to drink. Let me lend it to you to warm my hands first."
Lu Wenxing: “…”
In the end, Lu Wenxing didn't get to drink a single sip. Xie Chengfei drank milk tea and chewed pearls in front of him.
At the end, she didn't forget to say something to him: "People who are sick are not qualified to drink milk tea."
…
On the other side, Gu Yanshen, who had already arrived at the hotel, received a WeChat message from Song Jiajia.
[Song Jianjian] Did you know that the director team wants us to send each other gifts in the second episode?
【. 】have no idea
[Song Jianjian] We want to prepare gifts for everyone. What do you want?
【. 】……
[Song Jianjian] Since you are giving a gift, of course you have to give something that suits the other person's taste.
【. 】casual
[Song Jianjian] You are such a straight man
【.】?
[Song Jianjian] Didn’t you hear that I was waiting for you to ask me 'what you want'?
Then, Song Jiajia sent another screenshot, which was a screenshot of the chat with Lu Wenxing.
Same opening line.
[Song Jianjian] Did you know that the director team wants us to send each other gifts in the second episode?
【ET】I haven’t heard of it yet
[Song Jianjian] is to prepare gifts for everyone. What do you want?
【ET】I like everything that Jiajia gives me.
[ET] Is there anything that Jiajia likes particularly?
After reading it, Gu Yanshen typed with a blank expression.
【.】What do you want
【Song Jianjian】Hello, you are so perfunctory
【. 】……
[Song Jianjian] Okay, just a joke.
[Song Jianjian] I want to ask you, do you know what Wen Xing likes?
Gu Yanshen was even more confused after reading it. How could he know what Lu Wenxing liked?
Gu Yanshen typed "I don't know", his finger lingered on the send key for a pause, and somehow he thought of Lu Wenxing's pink bath towel.
The text in the dialog box was deleted and he typed two new words.
【. 】pink?
Song Jiajia ignored Gu Yanshen's last question mark and reported the situation to others with a happy look on her face.
[Song Jianjian] Wen Xing likes pink, so we all give her pink
After sending it to Wen Miao, Song Jiajia copied it and pasted it to Li Xiangming and Zhou Zitong.
[Song Jianjian] Wen Xing likes pink, so we all give her pink
After posting it, Song Jiajia suddenly felt that she had hidden her merits and fame. When they meet next time, Lu Wenxing will definitely be very happy.
At this moment, Lu Wenxing, who had already returned to the dormitory, had no idea that he would receive several "surprises".
