It was almost afternoon when the trainees came back from the show. Although they had eaten a lot of snacks on the way, they were now very hungry. They quickly took out some food to prepare the barbecue. About thirty people were crowded together, and it was very lively, as if they were on a class outing.
Luo Shixi smelled it from a distance and kept looking over there.
He Yu looked at it and asked him, "Do you want to go and see it?"
Luo Shixi nodded: "I want to go, I went to Teacher He first."
After he said that, he turned his wheelchair and tried to go over, but he didn't often sit on this thing, so he fiddled with it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, and it just turned around in place.
"Forget it," He Yu said with a smile, "Wait for me, I'll push you over."
When the two of them went over, they found that everyone was divided into many areas. There was a barbecue area where steaks were sizzling, and another area where lamb skewers were being grilled. Luo Shixi saw Sang Huaiyan was there too, so he pushed his wheelchair over.
"What are you doing?" Luo Shixi looked over curiously.
"Teacher He, Xiaoxi!" Sangsang called out to the two of them happily, then pulled Luo Shixi's sleeve and kept talking, "Xiaoxi, look! Huaiyan is making desserts! I didn't know he was a dessert chef before, it doesn't match his appearance! But he's delicious, hurry up and try one too."
After he finished speaking, he took a small cake for Luo Shixi and gave another to He Yu. "Teacher He, do you want to eat?"
He Yu refused: "No, thank you, I don't eat dessert."
Luo Shixi took a bite of the strawberry cake in his hand. The cream was not greasy at all and was mixed with the sweetness of strawberries. He felt very satisfied after taking one bite.
He narrowed his eyes happily, took away the small cake that He Yu had refused, and said, "Teacher He doesn't like sweet food. If you replace the strawberry with a lemon, maybe he will eat it."
Sang Sang scratched his head: "Ah, is that so?" But in his heart he was thinking that Luo Shixi actually knew He Yu's hobby.
He Yu looked down at Luo Shixi who was busy eating dessert and laughed: "I have never seen anyone put lemon on dessert."
Luo Shixi hummed, "Then I'll make it for the instructor some other day, and you'll see it."
"Then I'm looking forward to seeing what you can accomplish." He Yu said calmly, his hands on the back of the wheelchair.
Sang Huaiyan listened to them talking and looked to the side, just in time to meet Luo Shixi's gaze.
Luo Shixi ate three pieces of strawberry cake, licked the cream on his index finger, squinted his eyes and smiled at Sang Huaiyan, "Can I watch you do it?"
Sang Huaiyan's stern expression relaxed, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "Okay."
Luo Shixi rested his chin on his hand and watched Sang Huaiyan making tiramisu. At this time, he was making berry jam. He blended the strawberries into juice, added sugar and boiled it over low heat, made the jam and put it aside, and started making the cheese paste.
Luo Shixi stared at it intently, the sweet aroma of the cake going straight into his nose.
"Can I try it?" he couldn't help but ask out loud.
"Okay." Sang Huaiyan handed the scraper in his hand to Luo Shixi.
Luo Shixi was about to take action, but Sang Huaiyan grabbed his wrist. He looked up.
In the sunlight, Sang Huaiyan's narrow gray eyes seemed even more transparent, almost like light gray glass beads, shining and colorful, and very beautiful.
Sang Huaiyan was helping Luo Shixi roll up his sleeves when he heard him say, "Huaiyan, you have beautiful eyes."
Sang Huaiyan paused, and then his eyes showed some emotions that Luo Shixi couldn't understand, "Really?"
"Yes," Luo Shixi tilted his head, "Are you mixed-blood?"
"My ancestors are from foreign countries, but my parents are both Chinese."
"Is that so?" Luo Shixi nodded, indicating that he understood.
Sang Huaiyan thought of something, turned around to look at He Yu who was silent behind Luo Shixi, and asked him: "Teacher He, do you want to play too?"
He Yu shook his head: "Forget it, I'll watch here." After he said that, he sat down on the picnic blanket beside him, curled up one of his long legs, and put his hands on his knees.
Sang Huaiyan said nothing more and concentrated on teaching Luo Shixi what to do.
In fact, there is no need for him to teach. The remaining steps are very simple. Luo Shixi only needs to spread a layer of biscuits, a layer of jam, and a layer of cheese paste.
This time I made two flavors, one berry and one the most classic with cocoa powder.
Luo Shixi accidentally got jam on his cheek without realizing it. He proudly called Sangsang and He Yu to come and see his work.
Sang Huaiyan took a quick glance and saw it, then he tapped Luo Shixi's cheek from a distance, "There's something on it."
"What is that?" Luo Shixi couldn't free his hands, and subconsciously tried to rub it with his sleeve.
"Don't move."
He Yu and Sang Huaiyan spoke up at the same time to stop them, and they went to find paper together.
Sang Huaiyan was a step later than He Yu because he was still making chestnut cake.
He Yu took the napkin and handed it to Luo Shixi, "Here, wipe it."
Seeing that Luo Shixi's hands were inconvenient, he simply made a "tsk" sound and raised his hand to wipe the berry jam off the other's cheek.
Sang Huaiyan's hand, which was halfway out, stopped in the air, and finally he withdrew it as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Jing, who was chatting with Yao Yuyu not far away, accidentally saw this scene and was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Yao Yuyu waved in front of her.
Jiang Jing moved her lips, "Nothing, I was just wondering... He Yu ran out today without taking his medicine, right?"
Otherwise, why would they behave abnormally and strangely?
Yao Yuyu looked back, but only saw Luo Shixi looking up and talking to He Yu, who nodded in response.
Seeing that there was no one around, she secretly poked her head out and said to Jiang Jing, "To be honest, I once liked He Yu."
Jiang Jing: “Oh.”
"..." Yao Yuyu was silent for a moment, "Why is your reaction so calm?"
Jiang Jing rubbed Yao Yuyu's head and said, "Do you think there are few people in the entire entertainment industry who like him? When He Yu first returned to China to develop his career, he was much more active than he is now. At that time, at least half of the female stars, if not eight out of ten, liked him."
Yao Yuyu originally thought it was a bit exaggerated, but when she saw He Yu's peach blossom eyes sparkling in the sun, even the curve at the end of his eyes seemed to be full of affection.
Yao Yuyu swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth, "Yeah, he's prettier than any other girl, and I feel inferior standing next to him. But I only liked him at the beginning, but then I heard all those gossips about him, and I was persuaded to give up."
"You're talking about those," Jiang Jing obviously thought of He Yu's numerous scandal announcements, and smiled with her hands covering her mouth, "Just treat those as gossip, it's not true anyway. The marketing account also said that I had a private affair with him."
"After being in the circle for a long time, I stopped taking it seriously," Yao Yuyu commented. "With a face that is so romantic and promiscuous, it's no wonder that so many people are obsessed with him."
Jiang Jing thought about those celebrities who desperately bought publicity to claim that they were his "rumored girlfriend" after working with He Yu once, and curled her red lips, "That's true, it's because our big star He is so lovable."
"It's time to eat! Everyone come and eat!" a trainee shouted.
The picnic blanket was already filled with food. Some people sat together in groups of three or four, while others did not return to the barbecue area. As soon as they finished grilling something, they turned around and put it into their mouths. The people who were grilling were so angry that they kicked their greedy roommate.
"Eat less!"
Luo Shixi sat on the tablecloth, saw this scene, bit the fork, and said, "I want to eat that too."
As soon as he finished speaking, three grilled steaks were placed on the plate in front of him.
Liang Yulan and Bai Jingzhou looked at Sang Huaiyan at the same time, who was putting away his chopsticks as if nothing had happened.
Luo Shixi smiled while biting the fork, "Thank you!" Then he picked up the cut steak and put it into his mouth.
Seeing this, He Yu, who was standing next to him, stood up and walked away.
Luo Shixi looked around at the delicious food. When he was asking Bai Jingzhou whether the avocado pasta he was eating was delicious, the aroma of cumin wafted to his nose.
Luo Shixi turned his head immediately.
He Yu came over with a bunch of lamb skewers.
"I got some skewers," he put them on the tray naturally, picked out the best ones and handed them to Luo Shixi, "Do you want to eat?"
"Thank you, Brother He!" Luo Shixi uttered with joy.
Hearing him calling He Yu like that, everyone around looked over, but Luo Shixi and He Yu looked normal.
The former has not reacted yet, while the latter doesn't care.
Everyone looked between Luo Shixi and He Yu and then looked away.
In the afternoon, Sang Zi couldn't wait any longer and wanted to see if he could catch any fish in the water, so he went to the grove to find branches to make a harpoon. There were several other people with him.
The rest of the boys were playing games, while others decided to walk around to see if there were any houses nearby.
Luo Shixi couldn't walk far, but he was in high spirits and pushed his wheelchair to watch Sang Zi cut branches.
In fact, it was also Sang Zi's first time to go fishing, and he was excited and nervous. As a result, he tried several times but failed to catch the fish. This excitement came and went quickly, and it was gone immediately.
Luo Shixi watched for a long time and couldn't help laughing, "You've never forked a fish before."
Sang Zi nodded dejectedly.
Not to mention spearing fish, for a child who grew up in a big city, it was the first time for him to see such a clear stream with fish and shrimps.
Luo Shixi said: "When spearing a fish, you can't just spear it wherever it is. You have to aim at the part behind it. That's the right way."
"Why are you looking behind?"
"The refraction of water. We learned about it in junior high school physics."
When Luo Shixi mentioned it, Sang Zi suddenly remembered that this was the case. He touched the back of his head and said, "Junior high school physics, I gave it back to the teacher a long time ago."
The trainees in the water were talking at once.
"Junior high school, that was almost ten years ago."
"I have forgotten all the physics I learned in high school, eh!"
"Our Xiaoxi actually still remembers it, he is indeed a top student."
Luo Shixi felt a little embarrassed by what they said, "Don't look at me, hurry up and fork the fish. After you catch it, you can pickle it raw, grill it, or stew it in soup."
Luo Shixi immediately arranged a destination for the fish that had not yet been seen.
Everyone was motivated after hearing this.
"For the whole fish feast, charge!"
“Go, go, go!”
Knowing roughly where to hook the spear, the boys were eager to try it out. They quickly gained proficiency and were able to catch fish one after another.
The aquatic plants here are lush and the fish are plump. One caught was even as big as a forearm.
After catching about seven or eight, the boys stopped working and stopped harming the fish in the water.
"Brother Shixi, is this enough?" Sang Zi called Luo Shixi from a distance.
"That's enough," Luo Shixi shouted back, "Come up quickly."
"Don't rush to go up!" Sangsang shouted, then scooped up a handful of water and poured it over Sangzi's head.
Sang Zi was stunned by the water falling from the sky. It took him a few seconds to come to his senses and he heard everyone laughing.
"Okay, Sangsang, you dare to splash water on me!" Sang Zi immediately chased after Sangsang, determined to take revenge.
While the two were playing, they attracted a lot of people into the fight. Everyone started to roll up their trouser legs and go into the water to play, and water splashed everywhere.
The splashing water droplets reflected colorful colors in the sunlight, and the laughter spread far away.
Luo Shixi was watching the excitement on the shore when he was suddenly doused with water, suffering an unexpected disaster.
He reached out and wiped his face, wiping away the water droplets dripping down his jawline, and then grabbed the wet clothes on his chest and shook them out.
When Sang Zi turned around, he saw Luo Shixi being attacked.
"Who did it?" He rubbed his hands and looked at everyone.
Sun Luo raised his hand weakly: "Me."
Woohoo is over, he splashed their captain!
Luo Shixi bared his little fangs at him and threatened: "When I can walk again, I will definitely take revenge on you."
"No need to wait for your leg to heal, take revenge now!" Han Hanwen shouted from behind, and splashed water on Sun Luo when he was not prepared.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Sun Luo turned around and wanted to run.
"Still want to run?" Sang Zi shouted, "Brothers, go!"
Sun Luo's two fists were no match for the four hands, and he was soon drenched like a drowned rat, so he quickly admitted defeat.
Everyone then let him go with a smile.
Luo Shixi was drenched in water, so he naturally couldn't continue wearing his wet clothes.
He was wearing a white shirt today, and the color of the shirt became transparent when water poured on it. It was uncomfortable because it stuck to his body. I guess when this part was edited out later, he would be covered with mosaics.
He Yu was talking on the phone in the tent. When he heard the noise, he looked over and saw Luo Shixi.
He paused, and when Wang Hanwen asked, "What's the matter?" he said quickly, "I have something else to do here. I'm hanging up." Then he quickly hung up the phone.
"How did it become like this?" he asked Luo Shixi.
"They were playing with water and accidentally poured water on me," Luo Shixi said to He Yu in the tent, "I want to go in and change my clothes."
"Come in." He Yu said, and when he saw the other person's legs, he realized that Luo Shixi couldn't come in.
He walked forward, carried Luo Shixi off the wheelchair, and put him on the mattress in the tent. "Did your legs get wet?"
"No, it's just that my shirt got a little stained."
He Yu hummed, and subconsciously looked at the wet part of his shirt following Luo Shixi's words.
But I saw two pink spots faintly visible under the clothes. Because they came into contact with the cold air outside, they were standing up slightly, pushing the shirt out with two bulges.
Realizing what it was, He Yu paused.
When he spoke again, his voice was slightly hoarse, "You change, I'll wait for you outside."
After saying that, he went out.
Luo Shixi was rummaging through clothes. When he saw He Yu go out, he blinked in confusion.
Why did you leave?
He Yu stood outside the tent, like he was on guard duty, attracting everyone's attention.
He was already used to being the center of attention, and there was nothing wrong with that at this moment.
only……
He Yu looked at the stream in the distance.
The distance from the stream to his tent is not far. Did Luo Shixi just walk there like that?
Who saw it along the way?
He Yu felt irritated for no reason. He twisted two fingers on his right hand and rubbed his red skin.
Luo Shixi lifted the curtain, interrupting He Yu's thoughts.
"Teacher He, I'm fine now."
Luo Shixi changed into new clothes.
He Yu took a look and saw that it was a mint green top. The color alone made him feel as refreshing as if he were holding a mint candy in his mouth.
He carried Luo Shixi back to the wheelchair and said, "Wang Hanwen called me just now and told me something about you."
"Hmm? What did Brother Hanwen say?" Luo Shixi asked curiously.
"He said, you have too many CP fans now, and they are all very mixed and chaotic. Although hyping up CP can quickly make you popular, in the long run it will do more harm than good, and these fans are also difficult to manage."
Luo Shixi nodded: "I understand, I will pay attention to it."
He more or less understands his CP, which can be described as a hodgepodge, and many fans of the show even call him Golden Flower.
He Yu nodded.
After the two had a brief chat, Luo Shixi went to deal with his fish.
He Yu walked into the tent and sat there for a while.
Then he raised his hand and drank the ice water on the coffee table.
After Luo Shixi finished processing the fish, the sun had almost set. The program crew gave them a lot of mushroom-shaped lights to illuminate a corner of the night.
Everyone sat together and chatted after dinner.
It is rare for young people to have such leisure time, temporarily away from busy schedules and high-intensity training, and they don’t have to think about the subsequent three public performances and eliminations, a series of suffocating things.
All they need to do now is sit on the grass, look at the stars above their heads and chat with their good friends beside them.
Everyone was chatting about everything.
In Luo Shixi's small circle, because of He Yu and two other mentors, everyone was inevitably a little restrained and didn't dare to speak freely.
Sang Zi suggested: "Why don't we play the King Game!"
Sad and complained to him, "You are so unsophisticated."
Having said that, he leaned forward honestly.
Sang Zi was too lazy to expose him, so he asked everyone, "How about it, do you want to play?"
Everyone expressed no objection.
He Yu nodded, "Sure, let's play."
Yao Yuyu and Jiang Jing had no objection either.
Sang Zi got a deck of playing cards from somewhere, picked a few and stuffed the rest back, "I picked 13 cards, 12 spades and one heart. The one who draws the ace is the king, and the one who draws the heart will be punished."
Everyone drew cards.
Luo Shixi glanced at the cards in his hand, the 7 of Spades.
Thank God.
In the first round, Liang Yulan drew hearts, and the boy who drew the ace thought that the game should not be too harsh at the beginning, so he asked a very simple question and it was over.
In the second round, Luo Shixi drew the best, and he didn't have much to ask, so he asked Hong Tao to talk about the thing she regretted the most.
The beams and railings turned over the rows, red hearts.
Amid the "Why you again?" looks from everyone, he looked at Luo Shixi who was holding a cute mushroom lantern and said, "The thing I regret most is choosing to study abroad."
If he hadn't gone abroad, resulting in no contact for so many years, things wouldn't have developed to the worst possible point.
Every time Liang Yulan thought of this, his heart ached dully.
Luo Shixi understood the meaning in his eyes, hugged the mushroom lamp tightly in his hand, and gave him a reassuring smile.
The boy next to him asked Liang Yulan, "Did something happen back then? Did your beloved girl fall in love with someone else?"
This is the biggest worry for teenage boys.
Liang Yulan smiled faintly and said, "It's worse than that." He said no more.
The third time, Sang Zi drew the aces. He shouted excitedly, "Who drew the hearts? I'll make him do 10 push-ups on the spot, with someone sitting on him! The person sitting on him is... the second one from the left of the heart."
When everyone heard this, they took a breath and gave Sang Zi a thumbs up.
So cruel!
Under the gloating gazes of the crowd, Liang Yulan stood up and walked to the open space.
Sang Zi pointed at him stupidly, then pointed at the playing cards, "Hearts?" His tone was full of disbelief.
Why is it him again?
Liang and Lan were silent.
This is really unique luck.
Luo Shixi pinched himself hard to hold back his laughter, his face turned red from holding it in, but he was pounding the ground with laughter in his heart.
Hahahahahahahaha!
He knew his brother couldn't play this kind of game!
The second person from the left next to Liang Yulan was Bai Jingzhou. When he saw Liang Yulan stand up, the smile on his face froze slightly, and then he stood up resignedly.
Liang Yulan finished ten push-ups, took a sip of drink, and said he was tired and wanted to go back to sleep.
Everyone watched him leave knowing the truth.
I understand, everyone understands. If it's this bad, no one else would want to play with me.
Without Liang and Lan, the role of Red Peach began to take turns, and this time it was Luo Shixi's turn.
He lifted a corner of the playing card, smiled, and then looked at everyone calmly, trying to find the tip.
As soon as Sun Luo turned over the cards, he immediately became proud: "I'm the ace! Hahaha, luckily it's not a heart!"
He got treated badly in the last hand of hearts. He shouted to a boy he had no connection with, "I'm pregnant with your child, don't abandon me", performing a sad scene on the spot, which shocked many people.
He could all imagine that his image would be completely destroyed after the show was broadcast.
Before Luo Shixi could exchange a secret signal with Sun Luo, asking him to show mercy and spare him, he saw Sun Hao, the emancipated serf singing, waving his hand.
"Well, I won't torture you any longer. Let Hong Tao find a random boy to express her love to!"
Luo Shixi: ...I feel numb.
Sun Luo was still feeling proud, with his hands on his waist, arrogantly, "Who is it? Who is the Red Heart?"
"It's me." Luo Shixi turned over the card with a look of despair.
Sun Luo's expression immediately turned into the world-famous painting "The Scream".
“Ah, this…”
Luo Shixi said: "I don't know how to confess."
It’s not that I can’t, it’s that I dare not.
He is socially phobic.
Old Schrodinger's social phobia.
The people around him started to make fun of him: "Xiao Xi, you are so pretty, you must have been confessed to before, let's learn and apply it now."
Luo Shixi: "Don't talk nonsense, I've never been in love."
"You must have been liked before, so think about what to say."
Everyone was watching the fun and not minding the big deal.
He Yu lowered his eyes, picked up the boiled water beside him and took a sip.
Maybe it was because Liang Yulan’s words this morning left too deep an impression on Luo Shixi, but after listening to others speak, he subconsciously looked at Jiang Yan.
The two people's eyes met unexpectedly in the air.
Jiang Yan was slightly startled.
Luo Shixi was the first to look away: "Then, I'll just find someone."
Jiang Yan looked at Luo Shixi's porcelain-white profile and his eyes dimmed.
Luo Shixi...did he know something?
Luo Shixi originally wanted to choose Bai Jingzhou and others, but when he thought about what He Yu had told him this afternoon about CP fans, he decided to give up.
So, who should I look for?
Who is the person who is least likely to be misunderstood?
He Yu was sipping boiled water when he felt someone pat his arm gently. He turned his head and saw Luo Shixi with a blushing face.
Luo Shixi blushed even more, and his bitten lower lip was even more charming. The warm yellow light cast a delicate halo on his fair face, and the small mole at the end of his eye was hidden under his long curled eyelashes, as if he was shy and wanted to say something but couldn't.
Luo Shixi stammered, "Teacher He, I... like, like... you. Do you like, me?"
The sound of his words was not much louder than that of a mosquito.
But saying it out loud had already taken up all of Luo Shixi's courage.
The noisy chirping of cicadas in the woods beside his ears was infinitely amplified, so loud that He Yu couldn't hear what Luo Shixi was saying for a moment.
My heart seemed to be bewitched by the sound of cicadas, beating "thump thump" faster and faster, blending with the increasingly sharp sound of the cicadas, and I couldn't tell which sound was louder.
"Teacher He?" Seeing that He Yu didn't respond, Luo Shixi called out again cautiously.
No one expected him to be so bold that he would confess his feelings directly to He Yu. Everyone instantly became quiet as a chicken.
The sound of cicadas gradually faded away, and the surrounding sounds began to enter my ears.
He Yu finally heard clearly what Luo Shixi said.
He moved the corners of his mouth, faced everyone's gaze, and slowed down his speech.
"Ah, I accept your confession."
