Chapter 36 The person you said you liked last night…
In room 608, Fang Xingu and Jing Yitong stared at each other, both sulking and remaining silent. In the end, Jing Yitong gave in first.
He reached out and poked Fang Xingu: "Are you still angry with me?"
"Do you even think what you're saying makes sense?" Fang Xingu sat down on the edge of the bed. "Even you didn't tell me you were coming to record the show, so why do you think others would tell me?"
Jing Yitong carefully considered Fang Xingu's words and strangely sensed a difference in closeness and distance. It seemed that in Fang Xingu's eyes, the two of them were closer.
This realization made Jing Yitong feel a little better, but she still felt uneasy.
He didn't tell Fang Xingu that he was coming to record "The World Is So Big" because he had something to hide and was afraid that Fang Xingu would avoid him. That's why he warned Yan Tu not to reveal that he was coming to record the show. Otherwise, Yan Tu would have spread the news far and wide to attract investment for himself.
But why didn't Lu Changning tell Fang Xingu about this? And why did the production team keep it a secret?
Jing Yitong knew she shouldn't overthink things, but she couldn't help but put herself in others' shoes, especially when she thought about last night when Fang Xingu asked Yan Tu if the surprise would only be shocking and not joyful, and Yan Tu replied, "Teacher Fang will definitely be both shocked and joyful"... How could Yan Tu be so sure that Fang Xingu wanted to see Lu Changning?
Jing Yitong felt a pang of jealousy, but she didn't show it on her face. She even honestly apologized, "Okay, I was being unreasonable."
“You know you’re being unreasonable,” Fang Xingu said, recalling what happened last night, feeling a pang of sadness. He casually probed, “…Who was the person you said you liked last night?”
Jing Yitong raised his head, looking at Fang Xingu with a complicated expression: "You really want to know?"
Actually, Fang Xingu didn't particularly want to know, so when Jing Yitong asked him, he immediately backed down: "If you don't want to say, then forget it."
Jing Yitong stared into Fang Xingu's dark brown eyes. He remained silent for a minute or two, seemingly deep in thought. After a long while, he finally said, "I can't tell you now."
Fang Xingu was utterly frustrated. This person had thought about it for so long, and in the end, all he said was, "I can't tell you?"
If he doesn't want to talk, he doesn't want to know!
Fang Xingu, now angry, started to shoo people away: "Go away, go away, don't get in my way, I'm going to have lunch."
Jing Yitong said goodbye to him with a laugh at the balcony door, but a few minutes later, the two met up with the others at the main entrance of the room and went to the restaurant for dinner.
There were two more people at the table today, but the atmosphere wasn't as lively as it had been the previous two days. Everyone wasn't quite familiar with the two new guest stars yet, and the awkwardness of getting along with them had subsided, resulting in less conversation. The atmosphere at that moment was more like the polite atmosphere we had when the show "The World Is So Big" first started filming.
Lu Changning sat next to Fang Xingu, watching him with a vacant look in his eyes as he held a bowl of tuna salad, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you eating salad again? I remember you were eating salad during your last live stream too."
Fang Xin mechanically chewed the green belt in his mouth: "My body is already protesting against this Western food meal after meal. Only eating leafy greens can fool my brain and make me think of it as losing weight."
Fang Xin hadn't eaten a single bowl of rice in nearly ten days abroad, especially on the Affogato, where he ate steak, pasta, or pizza every day, which almost gave him a psychological trauma.
Just then, Lu Changning mysteriously reached into his backpack and pulled out two boxes of self-heating rice, handing them to him.
Fang Xingu stared wide-eyed at the two boxes of self-heating rice, exclaiming in shock, "How did you bring these?"
He had considered bringing self-heating rice, but gave up the idea because he knew that heating packs couldn't be taken on the plane.
Lu Changning explained with a smile, "After I landed at the airport on King George Island, I discovered that they actually sell self-heating rice there, and I immediately thought of you. You've never liked Western food, so I thought I'd bring you a few portions. I didn't know if you'd like them, but it seems like I made the right decision?"
Although self-heating rice can't compare to freshly cooked rice, it's a rare treat for Fang Xin Gu right now, and he happily accepted the gift: "Thank you."
Fang Xingu immediately opened a box of self-heating rice with the flavor of shredded pork with garlic sauce, and added a few spoonfuls of his own chili sauce. The aroma immediately attracted everyone's attention. Jing Yitong, who had been secretly observing them, immediately said, "It smells so good, can I have a bite?"
Fang Xingu looked at him strangely. Jing Yitong was different from him; he didn't like eating these kinds of fast food products, especially self-heating rice. When he first saw Fang Xingu eating self-heating rice, he curiously took a bite, but was scared off by the strange taste and claimed that he simply couldn't accept this soulless rice.
So what's with him suddenly trying to take the self-heating rice from me today?
But some people just don't understand the current atmosphere and insist on joining in the fun. Wang Peiyang said, "I want to eat too."
Li Wenyu also exclaimed, "Brother Lu, why did you only bring some for my senior brother? I'm so craving it too!"
Fang Xin was so bothered by their noise that he had no choice but to push a portion of food out to share, letting everyone take two spoonfuls. He sighed with heartache at the thought of it all.
But as a result, Lu Changning quickly got closer to the others, while Tan Zhi's place became a bit deserted.
Tan Zhi thought for a moment. He had already exchanged pleasantries with Jing Yitong that morning, so it would be a bit awkward to talk to Jing Yitong again now. After pondering for a while, he brought up a topic to Fang Xingu, who was considered his junior: "Xingu, I listened to your Nebula farewell concert's 'Star Path' before. It was very good. I heard that you adapted it?"
Fang Xin's reaction was cold; he didn't even raise his head. He simply said, "My teammates changed it together."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changning said to Tan Zhidao, "Xin Gu is too modest. We only provided some ideas, but in the end, he was the one who put our ideas into practice."
Tan Zhi keenly sensed that Fang Xingu didn't seem to want to talk to him, but still forced a smile and said, "A very clever adaptation. I heard that our program team has also entrusted Xingu with writing the theme song this time. Is there anything I can help you with?"
His reply was still Fang Xingu's flat tone: "No need."
Now everyone noticed that Fang Xingu was acting strangely. The others present had spent some time with him and knew that he was actually a very polite person. Usually, when he talked to someone, he would look into their eyes. Although his tone was sometimes indifferent, it never made people feel cold.
But Fang Xingu's tone was icy cold towards Tan Zhi just now. If it weren't for the camera, Fang Xingu probably wouldn't have bothered to talk to Tan Zhi at all.
This is somewhat different from when Fang Xingu was targeting Jing Yitong. When Fang Xingu was talking to Jing Yitong, he would speak with barbs and sarcasm, but when he was facing Tan Zhi, he seemed to want to ignore him.
That can't be right, can Fang Xin and Tan Zhi also have a grudge?
Although both of them are singers, they are from different generations and follow different paths, so they shouldn't have any conflicts.
Jing Yitong also began to suspect the relationship between Tan Zhi and Fang Xingu. Although he was constantly questioned about having a grudge against Fang Xingu, now that he saw Fang Xingu's attitude towards Tan Zhi, this was what a grudge looked like, right?
Jing Yitong's intuition told him that Fang Xingu was definitely hiding something very important from him.
Jing Yitong actually wanted to ask Fang Xingu and Tan Zhi what was going on privately, but when he thought about how he had just refused to tell Fang Xingu who he liked, he felt a little guilty and didn't have the confidence to ask.
The person who felt most confused was none other than Tan Zhi, who had no idea how he had offended Fang Xingu.
Lunch was eaten in a strange atmosphere, and the afternoon recording began.
This time it was still a double kayak activity, but unfortunately, because the number of guests who could not row had increased, and the number of professionals was limited, Fang Xin Gu and Jing Yi Tong were forced to split up their teams, and they each had to lead one person to row.
The others preferred to be on the same team as the professional coach, but Lu Changning took the initiative to join Fang Xin Gu: "I'll be on your team."
Fang Xingu and Lu Changning had been on the same team for four years and knew each other very well. Fang Xingu joked, "Aren't you afraid I'll flip you into the sea?"
“Then I have to trust your skills,” Lu Changning said, adding, “and I can swim.”
“Alright,” Fang Xingu waved his hand, “Come with me.”
Jing Yitong leaned against the wall, watching the two enthusiastic individuals, and teased, "Teacher Fang is quite energetic."
Fang Xingu sensed that Jing Yitong's tone was strange, so he deliberately retorted, "You are very motivated, why don't you come and squeeze onto our ship? I'll try my best to support two people at once, what do you think, Teacher Jing?"
Jing Yitong clasped his hands together: "That's very good."
Fang Xingu ignored him, only giving him a disdainful look before walking past him.
As they disembarked, Yan Tu repeatedly warned Fang Xingu not to row the boat too far. Fang Xingu and Lu Changning nodded in agreement as he spoke, and then rowed the kayak away.
In fact, there was no need for Yan Tu to remind him. Without Jing Yitong by his side this time, Fang Xingu would not row too far. After all, Lu Changning was a novice who had never rowed before. Fang Xingu did not dare to take him too far from the main group, so he just circled around the Afugado.
But this was more than enough for Lu Changning, who was experiencing Antarctic glaciers for the first time. Fortunately, there were many icebergs in the area today, and he was amazed by what he saw: "How dreamlike."
Today, Fang Xin, sitting in the back seat of the boat, couldn't help but boast about his amazing experience from last time: "Last time when we were kayaking, a small minke whale peeked out from under our boat for quite a while."
"Haha, I saw your Weibo post. Was it the one with Teacher Jing?" Lu Changning recalled. "I wonder if I can have a stroke of good luck and see a whale too."
"Whether you can see it or not, you're already very lucky. The snow was particularly heavy the past two days, but the sky cleared up as soon as you arrived today."
Today is indeed a beautiful day with blue skies and white clouds. Lu Changning looked up at the azure sky, which was completely unpolluted: "I've heard about that too. Yesterday I was worried about whether the plane could take off on time, otherwise we wouldn't be able to make it."
Fang Xingu laughed and said, "Then we'll really have to go to the research station empty-handed this morning."
Lu Changning imagined the scene and found it somewhat amusing: "Luckily, the snow stopped in time."
Fang Xin, remembering the topic of the morning, asked him again, "By the way, we were talking about WeChat groups this morning. Did you need something from me?"
"Oh, it's Wenlian. He seems to want to ask you to write a song, but you never reply to his messages. If it weren't for the fact that messages can still be sent, he would think he's been blocked."
Fang Xingu was a little embarrassed: "Uh... it seems that when I was recuperating, he would come to chat with me every day. I thought he talked too much, so I set his messages to Do Not Disturb and forgot to turn them back on."
Lu Changning couldn't help but laugh gleefully: "Hahaha."
As the two were chatting and laughing, a boat suddenly slid across from them, completely blocking their way.
This sudden turn of events startled Lu Changning. When he looked up, he realized that the people on the boat were Jing Yitong and Wang Peiyang.
Noticing his gaze, Jing Yitong raised an eyebrow and said, "What are you two chatting about? You seem to be having a great time. Tell us about it!"
Fang Xingu was speechless when he saw Jing Yitong. He was now 100% certain that Jing Yitong was acting very strangely today, and he didn't know what kind of madness he was going through.
Sometimes he really wanted to open Jing Yitong's head and see what was inside.

Here's a quick interlude in yesterday's special, presented in forum format!

Title: The special feature on "The Vastness of the World" has been updated, everyone come and check it out!

I dragged the progress bar, and it turns out it wasn't a special episode featuring Jing Yitong and Fang Xingu. I was very disappointed.
7L
You're overthinking it. The production team wouldn't really only give them screen time; that would be too much like favoritism.
15L
To be honest, they're not royalty; they're more like retired emperors... All the sponsorships and investments are coming for them.
22L
Can the production team please give solo fans a break...?
28L
Oh my god, I was wondering why the camera was so shaky and kept zooming in on my face, turns out it was Jing Yitong filming.
33L
"Today I'm your dedicated photographer," I said. Yeah, shipping Tongxin Yuan is as easy as breathing [drooling]
39L
Holy crap, who said they weren't close? Fang Xingu recognized Jing Yitong at a glance and even reached out to take off his mask. My pupils dilated in shock.
45L
I've noticed that Fang Xin Gu Wei Ai Du Yi Tong (a nickname for Fang Xin Gu Wei Tong) rolls his eyes at the same time. I initially thought it was because their relationship was terrible, but now I'm wondering if it might just be a playful way they tease each other...
54L
This shot is way too close! Is Jing Yitong practically glued to Fang Xin to film this? [Screenshot] ×2
67L
Where's the behind-the-scenes shot?! I'm begging the production team to release this behind-the-scenes shot so everyone can see if they're practically glued together!
73L
Yan Tu is so funny, saying he wants to show his fans true beauty and goodness [laughing and crying emoji]
78L
Who actually wants to see this special? [smile]
83L
Let my son enjoy life alone, okay...
89L
CP fans are lucky, but poison is a curse [tongue sticking out]
100L
Are you crazy? Why should JYT be the cameraman? Is the production team just openly helping FXG steal the spotlight?
106L
Hey, don't be so sensitive, fellow fan. Didn't you see how happy your idol is?
115L
The special was already short, why did they cut a section out of the middle?! What did Jing Yitong say?! Why is Fang Xingu smiling so strangely?! I'm going to steal the master tapes!
(P.S. The production team cut out the scene where Fang Xingu, Jing Yitong, and Yan Tu discussed their CP fans.)
121L
This windbreaker looks great, I'm going to get the same one!
127L
No need to look anymore, it's a custom-made one, and it really made this obscure variety show explode in popularity.
134L
Ber... Jing Yitong knows Fang Xin Gu so well, and even knows that his support color is green?
140L
It must be a script provided by the production team. What celebrity would be so bored as to research another celebrity's support color?
146L
CP fans can fool others, but don't fool yourselves too. Didn't Fang Xingu hear the veiled criticism of Jing Yitong that followed?
152L
You call that subtlety? If you hadn't told me, I would have thought it was just a couple flirting!
163L
If you hadn't told me, I would have thought they were a young couple flirting.
169L
If you hadn't told me, I would have thought they were a young couple flirting.
177L
Holy crap, who would dare listen to Jing Yitong's line, "Today I'm Teacher Fang's personal cameraman, I'll only be filming him"? I'm dead!
184L
Now that things have come to this, everyone dares to say that Jing Yitong seems to have activated a second personality in front of Fang Xingu, sometimes acting really cheeky...
192L
I understand. My boyfriend did the same thing when he had a crush on me, just trying to get my attention.
198L
Actually, Fang Xingu is quite different in front of Jing Yitong. I've never seen him show so many different emotions to anyone else... Sometimes it really seems like he's throwing a tantrum.
205L
Wait a minute, after Fang Xin fooled everyone else, he subconsciously looked at Jing Yitong, and then the two of them laughed together. Did you two forget that the camera was there?
216L
It's obvious Fang Xingu forgot. He immediately pulled back a smile after realizing the camera was on him, which cracked me up! [Fang Xingu pulling back smile.gif]
230L
Where are the die-hard fans in post #22 who were begging the production team to give you a break? Now I think you should be asking Fang Xin Gu and Jing Yi Tong to give you a break; these two aren't even acting anymore, hahaha.
238L
LOL! Did Yan Tu deliberately order pink for Meng Hui? It's for the sake of the variety show, let's all accept the punishment together!
241L
Fang Xin snatched the answer directly from Jing Yitong's hand, without any politeness...
253L
I've noticed a common misconception: people think that if one person is rude to another, it means the two have a bad relationship. But realistically, aren't we mostly only rude to those we're very close to? [Thinking]
257L
Holy crap, master, I get it! So is it possible that these two people are so rude to each other because they're too familiar with each other?
262L
Add to that the striking overlap in their life trajectories... I'm seriously starting to believe it!
269L
There's definitely more to the story between these two. Please, I beg you, keep digging! [crying]
273L
Meng Hui's life is so tough. Not only did he get seasick, but he also failed his challenge, and now he's breaking his declaration and has to be punished again, hahaha!
287L
What is the declaration? I am King Urgent, and I want to watch the full episode of "The World Is So Big" tomorrow!
291L
Does anyone know lip reading? When Jing Yitong wagged his index finger, what were he and Fang Xingu whispering to each other? Why did the production team mute it? I hate you guys!
295L
That's too formal! Is there anything we can't hear? *sobs*
300L
I can't take it anymore, this pairing of Tong Xinyuan is getting better and better! [licking screen]
312L
I'm so happy! The punishment for failure is for everyone to jump into the sea. Does that mean we'll all get soaked? Hehehe.
325L
...This Yan Tu is really something else. The reward for successfully completing the challenge is for everyone to jump into the sea. I'm dying of laughter.
336L
Can anyone understand the scene where JYT and FXG both gave Yan Tu a thumbs-up after discovering his little trick? So cute and so in sync! [Screenshot]
350L
I was thoroughly entertained in just twenty minutes, and I'm already eagerly awaiting the full movie!
