Chapter 64. Last time you clearly said you enjoyed it.
Li Wenyu looked at them strangely. "Brother," a perfectly normal term of address, why did it sound so odd coming from Fang Xingu's mouth?
After hesitating for a while, she realized that the problem lay in the expressions of the two people.
Fang Xingu's face showed a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, while Jing Yitong had a teasing smile on his face. There seemed to be some kind of magnetic field between the two of them, separating them from the other five people, making it impossible for anyone to get close and blend in.
It felt like they were flirting.
However, Li Wenyu had been in the industry for many years. Although she was curious, she was well aware of the importance of not saying things that shouldn't be said in inappropriate situations, so she restrained herself and kept quiet.
It wasn't until she saw on TV that, after they boarded the plane, Jing Yitong, who was originally sitting by the window, suddenly asked to switch seats with her and sit next to Fang Xingu.
At the time, Li Wenyu didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but now, looking back, she feels there's something fishy going on.
Li Wenyu asked cryptically, "Brother Jing, you didn't do that on purpose, did you?"
Jing Yitong clearly understood what Li Wenyu was saying. He raised his eyebrows slightly, feigning surprise and hurt, and said, "How could that be? I really felt that the middle position was more stable than the sides, making it easier to sleep, so I switched places with you. Sigh, if I had known I would be misunderstood, I wouldn't have switched."
Jing Yitong looked so righteous and indignant that Li Wenyu felt ashamed in his upright gaze. She inwardly cursed herself for judging people with prejudice. She scratched her head and apologized guiltily: "I'm sorry, Brother Jing, I misunderstood."
Jing Yitong nodded: "It's alright, I'm happy to accept your apology."
Fang Xingu chuckled to himself, his head bowed. No one knew better than him that Jing Yitong had deliberately switched places with Li Wenyu back then, and now this guy was actually putting on an act. What a big bad wolf! He only had eyes for Li Wenyu.
Seeing that Fang Xingu was laughing so hard he couldn't stop, Jing Yitong pressed down on his own microphone and then thoughtfully turned off Fang Xingu's microphone as well. He leaned over and said, "Teacher Fang's sense of humor is indeed low."
Fang Xin covered his mouth to hide his upturned lips: "Not as good as Teacher Jing's acting skills, who completely fooled our company's artists."
"At least I didn't lie to you."
"How many times have you lied to me?"
At this moment, Liang Jiyan, unusually, interjected, "I'd like to confirm, are we still in the process of recording 'The World Is So Big'?"
Meng Hui and she exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Of course, what's wrong?"
Liang said, "Oh, I was just thinking that although our trip has ended, the recording hasn't, so our travel declaration from back then should still count, right?"
Rhoda agreed: "Of course it counts... Wait, what did Yitong just say?"
Li Wenyu's eyes lit up: "He said, 'If I had known it would be misunderstood, I wouldn't have changed it.' That's practically a violation of his travel declaration!"
Jing Yitong was shocked by their robber logic: "Even if this sentence were checked for plagiarism with the travel declaration, only the three words 'if I had known' would be highlighted in red."
Rhoda laughed: "That doesn't matter! The other five of us have already been punished by filming low-fat videos. You and Xin Gu aren't going to escape this time!"
Fang Xin looked up and said, "Are you setting a trap for us based on the answer itself?"
Li Wenyu added fuel to the fire: "Senior brother, you still say that you were the one with the most long faces throughout the whole trip, constantly testing the limits of the travel declaration. We didn't report you only because we are kind enough."
Wang Peiyang also exposed his secret: "Yeah, just now when the main program was playing, how many times did Brother Xin Gu have a long face?"
Fang Xingu gritted his teeth: "I already said I wasn't angry, I was just holding back laughter!"
Li Wenyu pointed at Fang Xingu: "Look, he's turned dark again as he's talking."
Fang Xin Gu: ...
"Hahaha!"
Jing Yitong patted Fang Xingu on the shoulder and said, "Alright, just admit it. I've figured it out. These five people are just trying to drag us down with them. They'll make up a reason even if they don't have one."
“I think so too,” Fang Xingu said helplessly, rubbing his temples. “Alright, what’s the punishment?”
Li Wenyu laughed and said, "Hehe, you guys are pretty perceptive. We've already discussed your punishment. We'll write a short video of a popular dance, and we'll send it to you later."
Fang Xin laughed angrily: "Human hearts are so treacherous. You've already chosen your punishments, just waiting for us to walk into the pit, haven't you?"
Li Wenyu blinked, picked up a bag of potato chips provided by the sponsor from the coffee table, and tossed it to Fang Xingu as a consolation: "Alright, alright, senior brother, eat more snacks and talk less."
Fang Xingu was too lazy to argue with them anymore, so he opened his bag of potato chips and started eating. Jing Yitong, who was sitting next to him, didn't stand on ceremony with him at all. Without saying a word, he reached into Fang Xingu's bag of potato chips. Fang Xingu cooperated by placing the potato chips between the two of them so that it would be easier for Jing Yitong to take them.
That natural expression was almost the same as when the two of them were holed up at home.
The television footage continued to advance, and soon it was time for them to arrive in Ushuaia. The seven of them went out shopping together to buy hats.
Jing Yitong still remembers when he went to ask for directions, and when he came back he saw the other six people laughing. When he asked them what they were laughing at, they refused to answer. In the end, Fang Xingu told him that they were objectifying him.
Jing Yitong was a little curious and wanted to see how it was "objectified". As a result, he heard a group of people praising it as an essential item for home and travel. Then Fang Xingu questioned whether it was "home-friendly" enough.
At the time, everyone was chatting and laughing, and no one noticed anything wrong with Fang Xingu's question.
But after the ups and downs of the past two months, everyone's attention turned to Fang Xingu after he heard him repeat the word "stay at home" on TV with a hint of amusement.
Everyone asked in a joking tone, and the other person repeated, "At home?"
Li Wenyu grinned and said, "Senior brother, now you have the right to speak. You should be able to reassess whether Brother Jing is a homebody or not." They've been living together for so long, he must have some feelings about it!
A group of people cheered, "Hahaha, yeah, Xin Gu, hurry up and tell us!"
Fang Xin was so annoyed by their commotion that he turned to Jing Yitong for help, only to find that Jing Yitong was watching him calmly, showing no intention of helping, and was actually looking forward to his answer.
Fang Xingu smiled speechlessly and had no choice but to admit, "Okay, our Teacher Jing's performance in 'home life' is also top-notch."
Wow! Such high praise! I'm curious now!
How "home-loving" is it?
Fang Xin twirled her fingers, choosing to maintain the mystery: "I won't tell you."
Jing Yitong responded with a humble smile: "Thank you for your recognition, Teacher Fang. I will continue to work hard."
A group of people were arguing that Fang Xingu and Jing Yitong were not being fair to them, their friends, and that the two of them were just making excuses and wouldn't reveal a single word.
As the first episode was about to end, the content was pushed to the very end, which happened to be the scene on the roadside in Ushuaia where Li Wenyu secretly took a photo of Fang Xingu and Jing Yitong.
At this point, the style of the entire variety show suddenly changed. It was as if even the lighting was particularly kind to Fang Xin Gu and Jing Yi Tong, casting soft and vivid light and shadow on their faces. To make matters worse, the production team added a sweet love song as background music to the scene where they were looking at each other, making the whole scene more beautiful.
In the very end, the scene freezes on the two of them discovering Li Wenyu taking photos of them, and both looking in Li Wenyu's direction.
This frame was captured perfectly by the cameraman, and because the angle of the camera was clever enough, Li Wenyu was not in the frame at all. It looked as if Fang Xin Gu and Jing Yi Tong turned their heads to look at the camera together at the last moment.
That concludes this episode.
Li Wenyu pondered the last shot, muttering, "This is supposed to be a travel variety show, but some of the people here seem like they're filming a dating show."
Fang Xingu felt a little embarrassed by what she said, so he quickly changed the subject: "Don't slander others just because your scenes were cut."
Li Wenyu's attention was indeed diverted, and she angrily exclaimed, "What?!"
.
Today's recording was very relaxed. After it ended, the seven guests each recorded a short interview, and the final filming of "The World Is So Big" was finally over.
It was 7 p.m. when Fang Xingu and Jing Yitong finally returned home. Even Jing Quanquan had fallen asleep out of boredom. Fang Xingu stroked the dog's head a few times before returning to the living room to watch the punishment challenge that Li Wenyu had sent him—a dance challenge.
Fang Xingu was mentally rehearsing the movements when Jing Yitong heard him repeatedly playing the same audio clip. Curious, she asked, "What are you looking at?"
Fang Xingu sighed, "Let's see how we're punished."
Although Fang Xingu is an idol, he had never been exposed to dance before. He was forced to practice hard when recording "Star Journey", but he could only ensure that his dancing would not drag the team down.
Fortunately, the challenge Li Wenyu sent him wasn't too difficult, and Jing Yitong had taken the formal art exam route and had some dance training, so the dance wasn't difficult for them, except...
Jing Yitong squeezed over, and the two of them huddled together in front of the small phone screen. After watching the dance video together, Jing Yitong quietly commented, "...Haha, it's quite a sweet dance."
"I knew it wouldn't be good. Luckily it's simple enough," Fang Xingu rubbed his forehead. "Oh well, we've already made a promise, so let's jump."
"Should we record it now?"
"OK."
The two got right to work. Fortunately, Fang Xingu's house was empty. They moved the coffee table in the living room to the side, creating a large gap. Fang Xingu found a stand to fix the phone to one side. The two divided their parts, practiced a few times with the music, and started recording after finding the right position and rhythm.
After the first recording, they jumped a little out of bounds, so they recorded it again.
Perhaps due to nervousness, although the two of them had danced quite well in previous practice sessions, something went wrong during the recording. When they were spinning around together, Fang Xingu turned in the wrong direction and bumped into Jing Yitong.
Jing Yitong had just finished the previous move and was not yet on her feet. When Fang Xingu bumped into her, she immediately lost her balance and was about to fall to the ground. Fang Xingu subconsciously tried to grab Jing Yitong, but the momentum was too great. Not only did he fail to grab Jing Yitong, but he was also pulled to the ground by her.
With a thud, the two fell to the ground together. Fang Xingu landed on top of Jing Yitong, so he wasn't hurt, but Jing Yitong, who was being used as a human cushion, probably wasn't so lucky.
Fang Xingu quickly sat up and knelt on the ground, anxiously asking Jing Yitong, "Brother, are you alright?"
Jing Yitong opened his eyes, rubbed his temples and shook his head, trying to sit up: "It's okay, there's a carpet to cushion it, I didn't fall."
Fang Xingu breathed a sigh of relief. He grabbed Jing Yitong's hand, trying to pull him up, but forgot that he was still kneeling on Jing Yitong's lap with his legs spread apart. Now that Jing Yitong sat up, the distance between the two of them was infinitely close, and even their breaths mingled together.
Fang Xingu panicked and subconsciously clenched his fist, only to find that he was still holding Jing Yitong's hand. He paused for a moment, then quickly let go, but his fingertips brushed against the calluses on Jing Yitong's palm.
To ease the awkward atmosphere, Fang Xingu hurriedly pulled Jing Yitong's hand over and looked at it closely, asking, "Why do you have so many calluses on your hands?"
Jing Yitong looked down and looked at him together: "It was done when we were filming before. I didn't get it softened afterward. Plus, I didn't pay attention when I was working out recently, so the callus got harder and harder."
"Oh," Fang Xingu's mind had already gone a little off at this point. He looked down and touched the calluses on Jing Yitong's hands, and said as if possessed, "Your calluses hurt me a lot last time."
Jing Yitong was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that the last time Fang Xingu mentioned was the morning when the two of them had a "physiology lesson" at his home in Beijing, when he helped Fang Xingu with his hand.
He still remembers how Fang Xingu trembled and shrank into his arms when his calloused skin brushed against him.
Jing Yitong chuckled and leaned forward to get closer to Fang Xingu: "Pain? You clearly said it felt great last time."

Author's Note: Jing Yitong: Don't remember? Let's review it again [pats head]

A quick forum-style interlude!
Title: Did anyone go to the airport to pick up Fang Xin today? The scene was quite dramatic.
Main building
Holy crap, I still can't believe my eyes.
1L
I was completely stunned when I arrived at the scene...
17L
Seeing something online and seeing it in person are completely different; I feel like I've suffered psychological trauma.
25L
How could it be psychological trauma? I clearly had a blast!
32L
CPF is running naked again...
48L
What are you guys talking about? Can you stop with the riddles?
59L
Yeah, what exactly happened? Explain yourself!
63L
There are still people who don't know? Then I'll just post a high-definition video of Jing Yitong and Fang Xin Gu picking up Jing Yitong at the airport.
71L
What the heck? This title... is it what I'm thinking?
84L
Holy crap?!
100L
Jing Yi went to the airport to pick up Fang Xin, but...?
115L
That's right, if you look closely you'll notice that when Jing Yitong got out of the car, he even got out of the driver's seat, which means he drove himself to pick up Fang Xin Gu... Hehe.
127L
That's great, you can take care of your own wife [thumbs up]
134L
I seem to remember that Jing Yitong is also flying to Shanghai today. Does he have time to pick up Fang Xin?
148L
Yes, after this person flew to Pudong, he secretly changed cars and drove to Hongqiao to pick up Fang Xin.
155L
Are they really that reluctant to part...?

Was the dog that knocked Fang Xingu down a Samoyed? Could it be the one Fang Xingu owned?
203L
I think so, she's so cute.
212L
So Jing Yitong took Fang Xingu's dog to the airport to pick up Fang Xingu?
227L
I remember a fan spotted Fang Xingu walking his dog before, and later it was deduced that the location of the encounter should be in Jiangcheng, right? At that time, everyone thought that the dog should be kept in Jiangcheng, so how come it is now in Shanghai?
238L
Shanghai is just a short drive from Wuhan.
244L
You missed the point! The point is, how did Fang Xin's Samoyed, which he raised in Jiangcheng, end up next to Jing Yitong in Shenshi?
261L
...Wait, how come I have a memory in my head? I remember Jing Yitong also had a Samoyed?
277L
If you remember correctly, during the live broadcast of "The World Is So Big" on the day they went shopping in Ushuaia, Jing Yitong actually mentioned that she owned a Samoyed...
286L
How funny, so they all own Samoyeds? Did they meet because of dogs? They could exchange dog-raising tips! [laughing emoji]
295L
Does anyone remember that Fang Xingu emphasized many times that it wasn't his dog, but a dog owned by his family?
303L
Friends, I have a bold hypothesis...
314L
Why are you all being ridiculed again? Just tell us already!
322L
Is it possible that the Samoyed Fang Xingu mentioned and the Samoyed Jing Yitong mentioned are actually the same dog?
330L
Wow, this angle is really unique, but you know what, when you think about it this way, all the details make sense.
341L
The more you think about it, the more terrifying it becomes; even if you don't think about it, it's still frightening. [Panic]
355L
I rewatched the live stream, and Jing Yitong's reaction after they mentioned that Fang Xin's Samoyed was raised by his family was quite interesting. He drawled out, "Oh, raised by family~", and emphasized the words "family"...
367L
Holy crap, Fang Xin, hurry up and explain why it's "family"?
374L
This "family member" is really worth pondering, it's so shocking!
382L
Enough! Another Samoyed mystery has emerged—whose dog is this Samoyed?!
396L
There are too many unsolved mysteries surrounding the new circle...
408L
Am I the only one concerned about whether Gu Si Tong Si is doing well now?
421L
You're not really concerned about the connection between the two types of silk; you just want to watch the show, haha.
434L
Before leaving the airport, Jing Yitong didn't forget to wave goodbye to the group of fans opposite him. Isn't that a provocation? [laughing and crying emoji] Did those fans come to pick you up?
445L
We're all family, why distinguish between you and me? [smirking]
453L
It's hilarious! Even Fang Xin Gu couldn't stand it anymore and was pulling him away from behind by tugging at his clothes.
460L
I can't believe it! How come I never noticed how funny Jing Yitong was before?
471L
Both sides' solo fans shouldn't act like wicked mothers-in-law. Tong Xinyuan's status, talent, and looks are a perfect match. You should be secretly happy to have such a wonderful sister-in-law/daughter-in-law! [sunglasses]
