When Luo Shixi came into everyone's sight in a wheelchair and Bai Jingzhou pushed him, everyone was stunned.
Sang Zi went forward and pushed Bai Jingzhou out. He pushed Luo Shixi instead. At the end, he whispered in his ear, "Brother Shixi, you are... physically disabled but mentally strong."
Even after all this, he still couldn't forget to come out to record the show.
Luo Shixi twitched his lips and hit him on the head. "The doctor said that I'm almost well now and I should go out more often to see the scenery. I shouldn't stay in bed all the time. I'm following the doctor's orders."
Sang Zi was beaten and pouted in grievance. Just when he was about to complain to Bai Jingzhou, he saw his brother's fake smile. Then he remembered what he had just done and coughed awkwardly.
Luo Shixi was pushed by Sang Zi to come in front of everyone.
The second public ranking has been announced, and the number of people has dropped by half in an instant, leaving only 35 people.
Everyone came forward to greet Luo Shixi and expressed their concern.
What made Luo Shixi happy was that Sangsang and Sang Huaiyan both stayed. Sangsang advanced as the 23rd place, while Sang Huaiyan ranked much higher. He took the C position for the first time on the second public stage, allowing more show fans to see his charm. This time he became the 14th place.
Everyone stands in their dormitories, in groups of four, so it's easy to tell who has a better relationship with whom.
Luo Shixi was pushed to the front by Sang Zi, where Liang Yulan and Jiang Yan were standing.
"Why don't you rest well in the ward?" Liang Yulan squatted down and helped him straighten his trouser legs.
Because it was a trip, everyone changed into their own clothes instead of the uniform class uniforms. Liang Yulan wore linen casual pants and a white shirt today, a very refreshing combination. When he raised his thin wrist to help Luo Shixi tidy up his appearance, he could see his silver-gray watch.
"When will the bus arrive?" Luo Shixi held Liang Yulan's hand with his right hand and kept shaking it as if he was bored.
"It will probably be soon, don't worry."
Liang Yulan didn't seem to notice anything wrong, and his cold voice became doting as he gently comforted Luo Shixi.
Luo Shixi was not actually in a hurry. Others were not tired even though they were standing, so why would he be tired just because he was sitting?
"Xiao Xi, do you want some strawberries?" Bai Jingzhou took out a box of strawberries from his backpack. They were all washed with cold water and were dotted with water droplets. Each one was plump and round.
"Eat!" Luo Shixi wanted to take something from the box but was stopped by Bai Jingzhou.
"You haven't washed your hands. Let me do it."
Bai Jingzhou's hands had just been wiped with a wet wipe, and he picked up a strawberry with his fair fingertips and fed it to Luo Shixi.
Luo Shixi asked him vaguely: "How do you have strawberries?"
"The production team gave it to me," Bai Jingzhou fed him another one and said, "Because we are going camping, the production team prepared a lot of things, such as fruits and barbecue."
Luo Shixi's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Bai Jingzhou nodded affirmatively.
Luo Shixi: "I just don't know why the production team is so kind to let us go on a trip?"
"It's not the program team," Jiang Yan took off the Bluetooth headset and looked at Luo Shixi, "It's the program team that worked with another slow variety show to make a travel plan."
Luo Shixi looked at Jiang Yan's lacquered eyes and nodded: "Is that so."
After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips and said nothing more.
Jiang Yan didn't say anything else and put on his headphones again. But when he lowered his eyes, a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
There was some awkwardness in the air.
Several people around noticed something, but didn't say much.
Luo Shixi made small talk, "Oh, by the way, why didn't I see Professor He? Isn't he coming?" His tone was full of disappointment.
Sang Zi took over the conversation, "They should be following. This time, not only PD He, but also several other instructors followed. Oh, by the way, I checked Qihefang. I heard that the scenery there is very beautiful. It has not been artificially developed yet. Maybe we can catch fish and shrimp in the stream!"
Luo Shixi recalled his hometown and agreed with a squinting eye: "It is indeed very beautiful."
In summer, there are streams flowing through the fields, willows in every house, wells in every household, and birds singing and cicadas chirping.
"Has Brother Shixi been there?"
"My hometown is over there, and I lived there for a few years when I was a kid."
Luo Shixi was telling them about his childhood when He Yu and several mentors came over.
When they saw Luo Shixi sitting in a wheelchair, their expressions were exactly the same as those of the trainee just now.
Jiang Jing asked him with a smile: "Why can't you stay in the hospital?"
Luo Shixi complained: "Teacher, I am going to moldy lying in the hospital, it is so boring."
He was so bored that he could only lie on the soft and wide hospital bed, turn on the air conditioner, and play a different game every day.
Who understands his distress?
Yao Yuyu chuckled, "Then you will have fun."
After she finished speaking, she went to find Jiang Jing, holding Jiang Jing's arm and talking about something. She was dressed sweetly and cute today, with her hair dyed pink and tied into two ponytails, which bounced as she walked. Jiang Jing wore a red velvet slim-fitting suspender dress and a straw hat.
The two of them were talking about something, but they were laughing happily. Jiang Jing even took her straw hat and put it on Yao Yuyu's head to help her adjust it.
Fasuo was on his way to attend a press conference and didn't come this time.
He Yu was talking to the director. He looked at Luo Shixi and asked, "Why don't you stay in the hospital?"
"I'm almost well now, so I wanted to come out and take a look."
"Okay," He Yu said, "Follow me closely and be careful not to get hurt again."
Since they had already come out, there was no reason to go back. He would just keep a closer eye on them to prevent Luo Shixi from having so much fun that he would forget about his injury.
The other production team chartered a bus for fifty people, including thirty-five trainees, a mentor and a group of cameramen.
When Luo Shixi got into the car, he realized that he couldn't get in. He turned around and said, "Can you help me get the folding crutches behind the wheelchair?"
Just as he finished speaking, he realized that it was Jiang Yan behind him.
The two of them sat in silence for a few seconds, and Jiang Yan simply picked up Luo Shixi and carried him sideways.
"Hey!" Luo Shixi was startled and subconsciously put his arms around Jiang Yan's neck.
"Car sickness?"
Luo Shixi shook his head: "No."
Having said that, Jiang Yan still found a seat near the front row to put Luo Shixi down and let him sit inside, then he folded the wheelchair and stuffed it into the luggage cabinet above his head.
Seeing Jiang Yan turning around to leave after finishing his work, Luo Shixi gently grabbed his sleeve.
Although he let go the next second, Jiang Yan still noticed it.
Luo Shixi withdrew his hands and placed them on his knees obediently, "Um... find a seat quickly."
Jiang Yan looked at him twice, but did not leave. Instead, he sat next to Luo Shixi.
"I'll sit here."
Luo Shixi grabbed his pants tightly and turned to look out the window somewhat unnaturally, "Okay."
Jiang Yan pursed her lips, glanced at Luo Shixi's profile, and didn't say much.
It's not that he didn't have any feelings. Since several days ago, Luo Shixi had been intentionally or unintentionally distancing himself from him, and positioned their relationship as that of ordinary friends. Every time he wanted to take a step forward, he would take a step back.
It's not that Luo Shixi couldn't feel Jiang Yan's gaze, but he still didn't turn his head, as if there was something extremely attracting his attention at the unchanging entrance of Xili Building outside the window.
Everyone got on the bus, the mentors sat in the front, and the production crew only had a few cameramen follow. There were many cameras installed on the bus to record the trainees' actions at any time.
The phone in Luo Shixi's pocket vibrated, as if someone had sent him a message.
He finally withdrew his eyes from the window and took out his cell phone to look.
It was a message from Liang Yulan.
[Brother: Xiaoxi, what happened between you and Jiang Yan? ]
Liang Yulan asked directly, and he was not the only one who noticed that something was wrong between the two of them.
Logically speaking, he doesn't really care about Jiang Yan, but Luo Shixi looks like he has a knot in his heart, which makes Liang Yulan ask this question.
Luo Shixi hesitated for a while, but still told Liang Yulan about it.
[Offline: I once talked to YY about some things, involving topics like homosexuality, and then... he was incredulous, maybe a little annoyed? Anyway, his face didn't look very good at the time. ]
Liang Yulan's simple and crude summary: [He hates homosexuals? ]
Luo Shixi bit her lower lip and glanced at Jiang Yan from the corner of her eye. The other party was browsing his phone with his head down. It was unknown what he saw, but his brows were furrowed and he looked impatient.
As if sensing the gaze of the person next to him, Jiang Yan turned around to look.
But he only saw Luo Shixi, who was playing with his phone.
【Offline: ...I think so. 】
Luo Shixi is gay.
He has always been very clear about his sexual orientation and has never been interested in girls since he was a child. In fact, he is not that interested in boys either, but boys are more attractive to him than girls.
So after seeing Jiang Yan's resistance to homosexuality, his subconscious reaction was to escape.
Run away far away so that Jiang Yan won’t find out that his friend is the person he has always hated.
At least, his image in Jiang Yan's mind would not be worse, and he would not be looked at with mockery and contempt by Jiang Yan.
Liang Yulan knew about Luo Shixi.
However, he was not present when he discussed with Jiang Yan and was not aware of the specific situation.
There must be some misunderstanding. How could Jiang Yan have such a reaction? Could he be wrong?
【Brother: You didn’t ask him in person? 】
【Offline: How dare I TwT……】
Liang Yulan pondered for a moment and asked a question that Luo Shixi had not expected: [What if Jiang Yan does not hate homosexuals, and is even likely to like homosexuals? ]
"Ah?" Luo Shixi opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Jiang Yan: "What's wrong?"
Only then did Luo Shixi realize that he had screamed out because he was too shocked.
He quickly shook his head: "No, nothing."
Jiang Yan glanced at him again, and then looked away after making sure that nothing was wrong.
Before Luo Shixi had time to type a reply to Liang Yulan, the other party sent him another message: [If he likes you, what would you do? ]
Luo Shixi covered his mouth to avoid shouting out loud, and his typing speed increased a lot, which was enough to glimpse his excitement: [How could it be! How could he like me! ! ]
【Don't panic, I mean if. 】
Luo Shixi stared at the line of words for a long time before he entered a long string of words in the dialog box with trembling hands. After typing, he deleted it and entered it again.
Liang Yulan looked at the words “the other party is typing” that appeared and disappeared below Luo Shixi’s name and waited patiently.
After a long while, Luo Shixi finally sent a message: [If this situation really happens, I may continue to avoid him, because I only think of YY as a very good friend and have no other thoughts. ]
If you know that the other person likes you but you don't have that kind of intention, the best way is to cut off that feeling and not give the other person any hope.
【Brother: OK, I understand. Don’t think too much about it.】
Liang Yulan was not surprised when he learned of Luo Shixi's thoughts.
No one knew who had said something to Jiang Yan, which made his recent behavior a little strange, and Liang Yulan naturally noticed it. Although he and Jiang Yan were not in harmony, he still admired each other.
Fortunately, Jiang Yan is still ignorant now and is not deeply involved, so it should be easy for him to extricate himself.
Luo Shixi remained silent, tugging at the hem of his clothes with his hands. The car air conditioner above his head made his forehead cold and dizzy, but his palms were sweaty.
If YY really does this to him...will he lose a good friend?
wrong.
Luo Shixi pinched his palm hard.
What my brother said was just a hypothesis, so he should stop thinking about these nonsense. Overthinking would only make himself more upset.
Luo Shixi glanced at Jiang Yan, who still had earphones in his ears and a hood on, so his expression couldn't be seen clearly. But he was probably asleep, as he was swaying up and down with the rhythm of the bus.
Luo Shixi helped him close the curtains on his side to block out the sunlight, and then he yawned.
I got up too early today and didn't get enough rest.
The other people on the bus were playing games. Sang Zi was about to come over to ask Luo Shixi if he wanted to play, but he saw that he had fallen asleep due to sleepiness, so he didn't say anything.
Qihefang was actually not far from where they were. The bus arrived in more than three hours and was now moving forward on a bumpy dirt road.
It had just rained a few days ago, and the mud was full of tire tracks and footprints. It was full of potholes and extremely bumpy.
Everyone in the car was originally fast asleep and lying down, but now they were woken up one after another by the shaking.
"Fuck... Wow, what kind of road is this? Why is it so bumpy?" Sang Zi was halfway through his words when he remembered that he was recording a show. He immediately swallowed his words back and changed his tune abruptly, almost biting his tongue.
"It's a country dirt road, that's it." The driver heard it and said in front.
Everyone got up and rubbed their faces, sat up and looked at the scenery outside the window.
There were few people along the way, and at this moment they could not even see any houses. They all went deep into the mountains and forests.
"The car can only go in here, you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself," the driver pointed to the narrow path ahead, "Go forward and turn left, then walk another 300 meters."
The trainees who were kicked off the bus looked at each other in bewilderment.
A place where even cars can't enter?
This...why does it feel like they have entered a dangerous place?
One trainee murmured: "Will the production team cheat us?"
"I don't think so. Haven't we been shown the photos of this place? It shouldn't be much different." Sang Zi said this with a lack of confidence.
Luo Shixi comforted them, "Hey, what are you afraid of? Teacher He and the others are here with us. Even if we get tricked, it's not just us who are unlucky. We can always find someone to take the blame for us."
He Yu happened to hear this when he passed by them and stopped in his tracks.
Very good, there are still people who hope that their boss will get into trouble.
He coughed lightly behind Luo Shixi, and Luo Shixi immediately stopped talking and laughing like a duck with its throat strangled.
But no matter whether it is a dangerous place or not, we have to keep moving forward.
Luo Shixi was in a wheelchair and had difficulty moving, so Sang Zi pushed him slowly forward. In return, Luo Shixi, as the only one sitting, helped them carry a lot of things and held them all in his arms.
He looked at the several bags of snacks in his hand and said, "Wow, you guys took so much food."
Sang Zi nodded, looking excited, "Yes, the director said that Datou is in our camp, but he was worried that we wouldn't have enough to eat, so he prepared a lot of food for everyone."
The production team has completed the handover, and the cameraman of another variety show is following. Hearing Sang Zi say this, the cameraman twitched his lips.
This young man really speaks out loud, and he reveals all the secrets of his director in every minute.
Turn left and walk another 300 meters.
Their vision gradually widened.
In front of me is a flat green area, and in the distance I can see white tents that have been set up.
There was a stream not far from the tent, the water was gurgling, and on the other side a few cows were drinking water, shaking their tails. They heard the noise and cried a few times, then retreated behind the lush bushes. A cowherd was shouting in the local dialect, asking the cows not to wander around.
"The scenery is so beautiful!" Sang Zi took out his mobile phone and took several photos.
Luo Shixi agreed: "It is indeed beautiful."
He hasn't been back to his hometown for many years. He thought it had changed a lot due to rural transformation, but he didn't expect that such a pure land has been preserved.
"The village official here is a college student studying tourism management. He wants to build a resort that integrates the scenery and the village. He wrote an application and submitted it to his superiors, which was approved, so there are no major changes here." He Yu explained.
This is exactly why they came here. The tourism industry in this place has just started to take off, and the local government wants to cooperate with the program team to increase its popularity and bring in income for local people.
Many trainees excitedly took photos, while the rest walked to the tent area.
The tents were already set up, sleeping two people, and there were also rooms for three people, with fruit plates in the middle. There was also a picnic area not far away, with a barbecue grill there.
"The conditions here are so good!" The trainees began to get excited and found tents to live in.
The mentors' tents are better than those of the trainees. They are both spacious rooms for two people. Yao Yuyu and Jiang Jing have already found their own tents and crawled into them.
Luo Shixi didn't know which one he should sleep on.
Bai Jingzhou saw his hesitation and smiled gently, "Xiaoxi, sleep with me, okay?"
"Brother, there's me too!" Sang Zi was glanced at by Bai Jingzhou right after he finished speaking. He immediately added, "I'm going to sleep with Xiao Bai!"
Bai Jingzhou smiled faintly and nodded: "Okay."
"Let me do it. Xiaoxi is not mobile enough, so I won't cause you any more trouble." Liang Yulan stepped forward and took over Sang Zi's work. He lowered his eyes and looked at Luo Shixi, "Xiaoxi?"
Bai Jingzhou kept smiling: "I treat Xiaoxi as my younger brother, so there is no question of whether he will cause trouble or not."
Luo Shixi began to have a headache.
He suddenly recalled the time when he was assigned to his dormitory, and it seemed to be the same.
"Or..." He wanted to say that he could just find a room to live in, when he saw He Yu coming over.
He Yu glanced at them and asked, "Haven't you divided the tents yet?"
Luo Shixi shook his head: "We are dividing it."
"How about this," He Yu glanced at Liang Yulan and Bai Jingzhou. He actually heard what was said just now. Suppressing the slight discomfort in his heart, He Yu lowered his head to look at Luo Shixi who looked embarrassed, "You sleep with me? It just so happens that Fasuo is not here."
Luo Shixi's eyes lit up, this problem has a solution!
He nodded and agreed: "Sure."
Liang Yulan tightened his grip on the wheelchair and said, "Will this be too much trouble for Teacher He?"
Bai Jingzhou smiled and nodded: "We can take care of Xiaoxi, so Professor He doesn't have to worry about it."
Luo Shixi hesitated after hearing this.
It seems so.
He Yu did not give in: "It's okay, I'm his boss and his mentor, so naturally I should worry more about him and pay attention to his safety."
What he said was so high-sounding that for a moment I didn't know how to refute it.
After saying that, He Yu squatted down, his eyes were level with Luo Shixi's, and he looked at him with his peach blossom eyes: "Come to bed with me, ok?"
He pronounced the last word softly, with a rising tone that was somewhat alluring.
Luo Shixi never admitted that he was a voice control person, but at this moment he covered his numb ears, nodded, and agreed.
"Then... I'll go to sleep with Instructor He," Luo Shixi looked up at the two people who didn't look very good, "Brother, Brother Jingzhou, I'll go clean up first."
Hearing this, He Yu raised his lips slightly, and reached out to take over Liang Yulan's work, pushing Luo Shixi forward, and said to the two people behind him: "I think the double room is almost gone, you guys hurry up and choose one."
Liang Yulan looked at the two people walking away, and a trace of confusion appeared on his cold face.
When did Xiaoxi... become so close to He Yu?
Luo Shixi was pushed in front of He Yu's tent. He wanted to go in to put something down, but was stopped by He Yu.
"Forget it, let me do it. It's not convenient for you."
Looking at He Yu who was helping him pack his things, Luo Shixi touched his nose and felt guilty.
He didn't expect that he would have to trouble the other party even for such a small matter.
"I'm sorry, Mr. He, this is really too much trouble for you...Or I should go find my brother or Brother Jingzhou."
He Yu paused and looked at Luo Shixi, "What's the trouble? It's just a matter of convenience."
Luo Shixi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was stopped by He Yu.
He Yu said: "They have already found a tent and moved in. If you go back now, it will be very troublesome for them to change tents."
Luo Shixi thought about it and realized that what he said was true, so he did not mention it again. Instead, he smiled and said to He Yu: "Then... I will grill some meat for Mr. He. The meat I grill is delicious!"
Even his accidentally exposed little fangs revealed pride.
He Yu was amused by him, "Okay, I'll try your cooking later."
Luo Shixi seemed to have found a way to compensate He Yu, and he boasted about himself repeatedly, "I actually know a lot more. If we catch some fish and shrimp later, I might help to process them, either pickling them raw or grilling them. Oh, by the way, I also learned some simple desserts from Aunt Wang recently. If I have the chance, I will make them for you, my mentor, to try, and for my mentor's cousin! I haven't thanked her for the lasagna she gave me last time..."
Luo Shixi was talking happily while He Yu was helping him pack his things. He occasionally smiled and shook his head, saying that his belly was not that big.
The atmosphere between the two was very good, but their cameraman was very bad.
He is now full of question marks.
Didn’t Teacher He say that the two handsome guys had already found a tent to live in?
But they were still standing outside.
As long as Luo Shixi turned around, he would be able to see Liang Yulan and Bai Jingzhou, but he was now in a wheelchair and due to physical limitations, he could not turn around.
So he didn't see those two people at all.
