Chapter 15 Fang Xin had never been so sudden before…
Jing Yitong paused, just about to ask Fang Xingu why he spoke so rudely and why his expression was so unpleasant, when he noticed through the reflection in the shop window that a cameraman had appeared behind him at some point.
Now, considering the abrupt shift in Fang Xin's earlier words, everything becomes clear.
Jing Yitong had a good idea of what was going on, but looking at Fang Xingu's bitter face, she almost burst out laughing.
Fang Xingu caught a glimpse of his barely suppressed smile, and immediately used the cabinet as cover to nudge his leg with his knee. Jing Yitong then took a deep breath, pursed his lips to suppress his laughter, but his body still couldn't help but tremble twice.
Fang Xingu blushed and glared at him: How can a professional actor laugh on set!
Jing Yitong shrugged: Even the best actors find it hard not to laugh on set!
Fang Xin glanced at the cameraman again, and now he couldn't buy the hat anymore, so he quickly fled the scene.
Jing Yitong didn't dare to look at his fleeing back, afraid that he would laugh out loud. He lowered his head and stared at the hats on the shelf for a long time before finally suppressing his laughter.
Fang Xingu, who had fled in panic, had already run out of the shop by himself. After all, the shop space was limited and there were people coming and going. He didn't want to stay inside and squeeze into the crowd any longer. He greeted the staff and then strolled to the other side of the street, leaning against the railing and gazing at the sea view.
The salty, damp air carried a slight fishy smell, and the biting wind brought the chill of the polar glaciers.
Having been busy with work for some time and then recuperating in Jiangcheng, Fang Xin hadn't seen the sea for a long time. Now, looking at the calm bay of Ushuaia, he felt his emotions relax.
"What is Teacher Fang looking at?"
Hearing someone call his name, Fang Xingu turned around and found that it was the cameraman who had followed him. He pointed to the distance and asked, "Looking at the lighthouse, is that the Yegeles Lighthouse?"
The cameraman pointed the camera at the lighthouse on the coast and quite cooperatively shook the lens: "That's not it. Tomorrow we will take a boat to see the Yegerez Lighthouse."
Fang Xingu nodded, resting his chin on his hand, emptying his mind of everything, simply watching quietly, letting his thoughts drift along with the seawater.
At this moment, the others also came out of the shop one after another. Jing Yitong was the first to push open the door and go out. As soon as he looked up, he saw Fang Xin's back leaning against the railing across the street.
A sea breeze blew by, ruffling Fang Xingu's hair, but he seemed to be frozen in place, gazing calmly at the distant seascape. Although he was surrounded by many busy staff members, Fang Xingu's figure looked somewhat lonely, out of place with everything around him.
At this moment, the staff member next to Fang Xingu said something to him. Fang Xingu turned his head to look at the other person and answered the question seriously. At this moment, he finally felt warm.
Jing Yitong looked at Fang Xingu and couldn't help but think that Fang Xingu had always been like this since he was a child. He had a calm temperament and didn't like to talk in a crowd, but he never made people feel that he was aloof. In fact, he attracted many friends.
While Jing Yitong stood at the door in a daze, he completely blocked the shop's entrance, which was only wide enough for one person to pass through. Li Wenyu was stopped behind Jing Yitong, and she poked her head out: "Brother Jing, why aren't you leaving?"
He then came to his senses, pushed the door aside to let everyone pass, but did not offer any further explanation.
Hearing the commotion behind him, Fang Xingu rejoined the group: "Have you bought everything?"
Rhoda patted the black woolen hat on her head: "I've had a great haul. Having a hat keeps me warm."
Meng Hui was carrying a brown paper bag. Pointing to the brightly colored handmade woven items inside, he said to Luo Da, "You should buy some brightly colored things when you come here. Why did you buy a black hat?"
Li Wenyu put on her newly bought orange knitted hat and echoed Meng Hui: "Too ordinary, and so is Sister Jiyan."
Leung said with a new khaki-brown scarf around his neck: "Classics never go out of style."
Seeing that Fang Xingu's hands were empty, Wang Peiyang asked curiously, "Teacher Fang, you didn't buy anything in the end? I just saw you picking out a puppy hat?"
Fang Xin glanced at the cherry-red bib in Jing Yitong's shopping bag, which was obviously meant for Quan Quan, so he said, "One of these is enough."
Fortunately, no one thought much about the deeper meaning of those words. The group chatted and laughed until a staff member reminded them, "The production team has prepared dinner. Let's set off now. We still need to head a little further west."
"Wow!" Li Wenyu exclaimed happily, "We can have dinner right after shopping! This program was definitely the right choice!"
Liang asked, "Isn't everyone having dinner at their own hotels today?"
Originally, there was no filming today, and the production team thought everyone would be adjusting to the time difference, so they didn't specifically arrange for everyone to have dinner together. However, the guests took the initiative to "add drama" and went shopping as a group. The production team didn't waste the opportunity and arranged a place for dinner while the seven of them were leisurely strolling around.
Jing Yitong smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the staff: "Thank you all for your hard work, teachers. You've come out to work overtime with us."
Fang Xin waved his hand and said, "Director Yan must give everyone a raise."
This remark was unanimously approved by the staff: "Hahaha, great!"
"Director Yan, did you hear that? My brother Fang is targeting you!"
Yan Tu: ?
.
Although the production team had prepared dinner, it was a restaurant they had found at the last minute, so everyone thought they shouldn't have too high expectations for the environment and taste. However, under the guidance of the production team, they walked through the streets and alleys of Ushuaia and arrived at the outside of an exquisite villa.
In the villa's courtyard, vibrant flowers swayed in the breeze. In the corner of the yard, several trees, each about a person's height, were planted, their shapes pruned to resemble rounded mushrooms. Several rabbits were munching on hay in the grass, and not far away stood a small red-roofed mushroom-shaped house, where a large dog lay dozing. Next to it, a white swing swayed gently in the wind.
Li Wenyu didn't even dare to breathe deeply. She asked in a low voice, "You found the fairy tale house without telling us?"
Yan Tu's face was full of smugness: "How about it, isn't this place nice?"
"It's surprisingly good," Meng Hui said, clearly pleased with the place. He had already taken out his phone to take pictures before even entering. "It's impressive that you found such a great spot in such a short time."
Yan Tu: "Not only is the scenery beautiful, but the dinner later will also not disappoint you. Come on in."
Li Wenyu, as if waking from a dream, dragged Liang Jiyan and Meng Hui into the courtyard to explore. They exclaimed in exaggerated admiration every now and then, and the air was filled with joyful sounds. Even Fang Xingu had grabbed some feed and squatted on the grass to feed the rabbits. The tranquil fairytale world suddenly came alive with their arrival, becoming lively and bustling.
Not long after they entered, dishes began to be served in the villa. The group stopped playing around and filed to the table to take their seats. It was a long table with seven chairs, one seat at each end, five seats on one long side, and the other long side was clearly reserved for the film crew's camera positions.
When Fang Xin returned after washing his hands, he was surprised to see that the other six people had already taken their seats quickly. In the end, only the center seat at the table remained unoccupied.
He frowned, clearly not wanting to sit in the very center. With so many seniors present, and it being their first time dining together, sitting in the center could easily cause controversy, and he didn't want to create trouble for himself.
But when he looked left and right, he found that everyone else was talking about other things and clearly did not want to sit in the middle. Even Jing Yitong was just looking at him with a half-smile, but did not have any intention of getting up to switch seats with him.
Fang Xin stared at the center seat reserved for him in silence for a long time, and finally smiled speechlessly.
The laughter drew everyone's attention to him. In the silent exchange of glances, they clearly understood each other's unspoken thoughts, and the atmosphere instantly shifted from awkward to hilarious, with everyone bursting into laughter.
Fang Xingu gave them a thumbs up: "Thank you."
Luo Da winked at him: "It makes sense to leave the only center position to the contestant who debuts as the only center."
Li Wenyu was unhappy to hear this: "So, I, who debuted in third place, don't deserve it?!"
Fang Xingu pulled out the middle chair and immediately gestured "please" to Li Wenyu: "Here, have it."
Li Wenyu immediately lowered her head and pretended to be a quail: "I think debuting in third place is pretty good too."
Amidst the laughter, Fang Xin finally forced himself to sit down in the center position.
One dish after another was served, and the food was really good. Since everyone had been traveling for the past few days and hadn't had a proper meal in a long time, the appetizers were almost all gone as soon as they were served.
Li Wenyu was the busiest, and even while eating, she didn't forget her important live-streaming duties. She forked a piece of food with her chopsticks and shoved it in front of the camera: "Viewers, please eat first... Ahhh, save me a bite of that king crab leg!"
Fang Xin couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he found a stand and fixed the live-streaming camera to the corner of the table for Li Wenyu. This not only freed up Li Wenyu's hands but also allowed everyone to be in the shot.
Just as everyone had finished the dishes on the table and was still not satisfied, a strong aroma of meat filled the entire courtyard. The group looked up to find the source of the aroma and saw someone carrying an iron rack into the courtyard.
Rhoda sniffed, and his eyes widened the moment he saw the dish: "Whole roasted lamb!"
The aroma of roasted whole lamb was incredibly enticing. The fragrance instantly filled everyone's nostrils, making their mouths water. They felt as if the food they had just eaten had been completely digested, and their faces revealed a longing for the roasted whole lamb.
Jing Yitong looked at the whole roasted lamb and said to Fang Xingu in a cryptic tone, "You're in for a treat."
Upon hearing this, Fang Xingu also smiled.
He was indeed lucky. When Jing Yitong was filming in Yan Province, he showed him photos of the crew eating roasted whole lamb. Fang Xin was very tempted at the time, but nothing came of it. He never expected that he would have the opportunity to eat roasted whole lamb in Ushuaia.
Li Wenyu was already swallowing hard: "I feel like I could eat this whole lamb in one go."
Meng Hui waved his hand, saying, "I'm too old to eat this kind of thing. You guys eat more later."
The group expressed their regret that Meng Hui couldn't eat roasted whole lamb in a perfunctory manner, but their attention returned to the fragrant roasted whole lamb, and none of them touched it with restraint.
After all, this is a whole roasted lamb, and there are rules about how to start and who should start, but nobody wants to be the first to do it.
As the roasted whole lamb was about to cool in the cold wind, Fang Xin, not wanting to waste such a precious food, ultimately accepted the consequences.
Roasted whole lamb is a main dish, and it was placed in the very center of the table, right in front of Fang Xingu, its aroma wafting straight into his nose.
But no one was willing to lift a finger, so Fang Xin sighed and resignedly stood up.
He put on gloves and took the lead, first tearing off four lamb legs and handing them one by one to Luo Da, Liang Jiyan, Li Wenyu and Wang Peiyang.
Fang Xingu said helplessly, "Eat it all."
The group smiled and said, "Thank you, Xin Gu!"
Fang Xin carefully divided the lamb leg, but overlooked Jing Yitong, as if he hadn't noticed his presence at all.
Jing Yitong suddenly felt a little sour: You just skipped over me like that?
Fang Xin had never ignored him like this before.
Jing Yitong felt uneasy, so she deliberately spoke up to attract Fang Xingu's attention: "Where's mine?"
Fang Xingu didn't react at first. He turned to look at Jing Yitong: "...You mean mutton?"
Jing Yi blinked expectantly and lifted her plate towards Fang Xin Gu, saying, "Hmm."
Fang Xingu frowned, revealing an expression that could only be described as disgust—you don't even eat mutton, what are you doing here?
Fang Xingu ignored him, tossed him a crab leg, and then turned back coldly: "You won't get any mutton."
A note from the author:

#Fang Xin publicly slapped Jing Yitong in the face#
.
Sorry I'm late, here's a quick forum-style announcement!
Title: Did fxg and jyt get into a fight during today's "The World Is Big" live stream where they were shopping for hats? [Video Link]
1L
Li Wenyu's live stream wasn't captured on camera, but the background audio could be faintly heard of Fang Xin cursing Jing Yitong for meddling.
7L
Yes, I heard it during the live stream, a very clear "mind your own business"...
13L
Wow, it's so obvious!
18L
Fang Xin is rude and lacks manners. Is this how he treats his seniors?
26L
Hasn't Tu1 always been this arrogant? [laughing and crying emoji]
(P.S. "Tu" is a nickname from the talent show "Star Journey". Tu1 is one of the nicknames of Fang Xin, who debuted as the winner of "Star Journey".)
36L
So what did Jing Yitong do, and why did Fang Xingu scold him?
43L
It seems that it's because Jing Yitong said that Fang Xin's family's dog head was big.
49L
Just because of this?
57L
Ber... was that a joke? That reason is hilarious.
64L
Who's joking with you guys? I have audio proof, okay? [Audio Link]
65L
?
66L
?
...
80L
Holy crap, I can't take it anymore! Just thinking about these two characters arguing over a simple "dog head" makes me want to laugh, hahaha.
88L
People actually got into a fight over a dog. This world is crazy.
92L
Jing Yitong is just looking for trouble. Why is he saying someone else's dog has a big head for no reason?
96L
This shows that Jing Yitong cares a lot about Fang Xingu; he even knows the size of Fang Xingu's dog.
102L
Well done, product managers...
109L
Let me emphasize again, that's a dog belonging to Fang Xingu's family, not Fang Xingu's. (Article 51: Fang Xingu, remember to send me the money.)
115L
This is hilarious! What is FXG trying to achieve by emphasizing this point?
123L
Ultimately, it was Jing Yitong who started by complaining about other people's dogs, acting as if they were close friends, making such a boundaryless joke. Who could be happy to hear that?
136L
I have sensitive skin and I'm back home. These days, you can't even say a dog has a big head? Besides, Fang Xin Gu's dog really does have a big head, and now I can't even say that?
142L
That Samoyed's head isn't big at all... it's a perfectly standard size.
155L
Fang Xin went to the toilet to speak.
168L
So what happened after they argued? Ahhh, I really want to know what happened next! I'm in a hurry!
177L
Someone with connections said that Fang Xin threw the dog's hat down, glared at Jing Yitong, and stormed off in a huff.
183L
Yes, yes, I saw what that networking sister said too. She also said that after Fang Xingu left, Jing Yitong stood there for a while before calming down. She was probably quite angry.
196L
It's estimated that Jing Yitong has never been humiliated like this before.
207L
Now we can be sure that these two people definitely had a grudge against each other, right?
214L
I don't understand what deep-seated grudge could have led to this. This is truly a case of not even bothering to act anymore.
229L
I have a feeling they didn't know each other before. [Chin resting on hand]
237L
If you look closely, you'll find that these two people have never even attended the same event since their debut.
245L
No way, really? They didn't even get invited to Weibo Night? That can't be right. Given their popularity, they would definitely be invited to the annual ceremonies of various platforms.
264L
I've never heard of it before; I've checked with several friends who share the same trait multiple times.
271L
What a coincidence!
279L
I have a bold guess: could this not be a coincidence at all, but rather that these two people deliberately didn't want to share the stage with each other...?
284L
Holy crap, considering the current situation, that's very possible!
293L
Please, please stop! I'm so upset, I'm about to cry myself to sleep!
314L
Where are the CP fans? Why aren't they crying out?
326L
I glanced around the square, and the product manager was celebrating finding a real gay man... I'm so envious!
335L

350L
With a product manager's mindset, you'll succeed at anything. [Thumbs up]
