It was unusually cold in City B in December. The whistling wind blew directly into the bones, making people shiver.
As Tong Juan walked out of the high-speed train door, he was almost blown back by the wind. Before he could put his hands, which were pushing the suitcase, into his sleeves, he felt they were frozen.
Tong Juan, who lived on a planet with constant temperature in his previous life and had only three months of living experience in the south in this life, cried for the first time because of the weather.
The cold wind was like a knife, making it impossible for him to open his eyes. Tong Juan turned his back to the wind for a while, and then turned around and walked towards the exit after his body adjusted to the temperature.
The system felt sorry for Tong Juan freezing like this, [Host, do you need a hot pack? ]
Tong Juan was a few seconds slow to react, and after a long while he asked blankly, "How much?"
System: [Cooling subsidy, no money required.]
Tong Juan was so moved that she almost cried: "Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Xiaotong, you are so kind."
Being given the nice guy card, the system coughed a little unnaturally, [It's already in your pocket. ]
Tong Juan immediately reached into his pocket and felt two plastic packages. As if he had found a life-saving straw, he went to the bathroom to put on the hot pack.
He checked the weather forecast for City B before coming and put on the thickest clothes he could buy, but he didn't expect it to still be so cold.
After putting the heat packs on his waist and legs, Tong Juan felt that he had saved his life.
"Wow, Xiaotong, you are simply the best person I have ever met. Oh no, the best system."
The boy's originally clear voice became soft and sticky because of the tone, like glutinous rice balls in winter, making people want to take a bite.
The system then remembered that this person he had randomly brought here was an omega who had charmed a large group of people. It paused for a moment and said, "Ahem, you're welcome."
After feeling warmer, Tong Juan went out and took a taxi.
The driver was a very enthusiastic uncle. After helping him put away his luggage, he saw that Tong Juan's nose was red from the cold, and couldn't help but persuade him: "Young man, your health is more important. It's more than ten degrees below zero, you can't wear so little."
The air-conditioner was on and the taxi was warm. Tong Juan felt that his stiff fingers could relax and his teeth stopped chattering. He answered obediently, "This is my first time here. I have no experience. I will know what to wear next time."
"Come for a tour?"
Tong Juan uttered an unclear "hmm".
"It's also good to come here in winter. The ancient city is even more beautiful on snowy days." The driver said, "There are street photos in the ancient city, and there are many authentic snacks. We locals will go there specifically to eat when we have nothing to do."
The driver nodded as Tong Juan spoke and sighed silently in his heart. He would go to record a program tomorrow. The program crew had a closed management system and no matter how delicious the food was, he would not be able to eat it.
The last time he went viral for his live singing outdoors, an email was sent to his mailbox the next day, asking him if he wanted to participate in their show. Tong Juan thought it was a scam, but only when the system told him it was real did he download the registration form sent by the other party.
The name of the program is "One Sixth". It is a talent show planned by Chengnan Group and exclusively broadcast on its video software Pumpkin APP. Because it is the first time such a program is made, major companies in the industry are still waiting and watching. The program team planned to invite 30 trainees but failed to get them all. Tong Juan, as a popular anchor on its short video platform, was naturally pulled in to make up the numbers.
The staff of the program team did not expect that it would be Tong Juan himself who would contact her personally. After all, it is impossible for an internet celebrity with more than five million fans to not have an assistant. But in fact, Tong Juan does not have one. He does not participate in PK, nor does he cheat fans for gifts, so he really cannot afford the burden of an assistant. Fortunately, he does not have much to do, and can handle it all by himself.
Soon the taxi arrived downstairs of the hotel arranged by the program crew. After Tong Juan paid the money, the driver gave him a business card and said, "If you need a car in the next few days, you can contact me."
Tong Juan was flattered to take it, said "thank you" to the driver, got out of the car, and pushed his suitcase to check in.
The room was on the tenth floor. While waiting for the elevator, Tong Juan did not forget to communicate his inner feelings with the system.
"Xiao Tong, the people in City B are so welcoming."
system:【……】
"That driver just now was so nice."
system:【……】
Didn't he just praise his system? It seems that Tong Juan praises everyone he meets?
[Host, be careful. This society is not as safe as you think.] The cold mechanical voice of the system is not so inhumane. [Boys should protect themselves when they are alone outside.]
"Oh." Tong Juan nodded and said nonchalantly, "But I still have Xiao Tong, you will protect me, right?"
[I am just a star development system, I don’t have an escape function. ]
Tong Juan's long eyelashes trembled, "Then I will still die."
[Birth, aging, illness and death are normal cycles of human beings, the host does not need to worry. 】
"But, but I've already died once. If I die again, I'll..."
[Maybe it will be captured by other systems, or it may disappear, this is something I cannot predict.] After the system finished speaking, it saw the somewhat depressed expression on Tong Juan's face, and continued, "However, if the host completes the mission well, I can help you apply for the next journey."
The next journey?
While Tong Juan was stunned, the elevator door in front of him opened, and three boys who looked about his age stood inside.
"You are, Tong, Tong, Tong Juan?!" A cry suddenly rang out, echoing in the empty hotel lobby.
The boy with chubby cheeks on the far left came over immediately, but was pulled by his clothes when he was about ten centimeters away from Tong Juan. He only had time to extend his hand towards Tong Juan.
The man who held him was very tall, with a thin waist and long legs, deep facial features, and golden, slightly curly hair. He looked like someone who was not someone to be trifled with. If he were to be put in this position billions of years later, he would definitely be an Alpha with pheromones that would choke people.
Tong Juan took a few steps back due to his omega vigilance. He looked at the three people in front of him cautiously, "Hello..."
After secretly glaring at Zhong Yi, Pei Siran nodded towards Tong Juan reservedly as a greeting, and then planned to pull Zhong Yi away from this embarrassing scene.
Chu Fangan looked at these two teammates with some problems and felt very tired. He said to Tong Juan apologetically: "I'm sorry, they both have some personality problems. I think they scared you."
Tong Juan looked at the backs of the two people leaving, then looked at Chu Fangan who was smiling very gently in front of him, and shook his head, "It doesn't matter."
Seeing this, Chu Fangan nodded and said, "Then I'll go first, you can go up too."
Fortunately, no one upstairs called the elevator. After Tong Juan went in, he pressed the button for the tenth floor. The moment the elevator door closed, he seemed to hear a scream coming from not far away. The voice sounded a bit like that of the person who had just called his name.
Zhong Yi and Pei Siran were hit as they just turned the corner of the hall.
"What are you doing?!" Zhong Yi covered his shoulders and howled heartbreakingly.
"Can you be more capable?" Pei Siran said angrily, "Are you a stutterer? You keep on saying 'tong tong tong' and calling for souls. Look how scared you are, they are all backing away."
Chu Fangan just walked over when he heard Pei Siran's last words. He curled his lips and said, "Are you sure it's Zhong Yi who's scary?"
"What do you mean?" Pei Siran raised his eyebrows.
"I think it was you who scared them. The kid backed away when you tried to pull Zhong Yi." Chu Fangan said, "Look at your expression now, you look ferocious."
"If he hadn't jumped on me like a fool, would I have been so ferocious?"
"Whether it pops or not, what does it have to do with you?"
Zhong Yi immediately got enlightened, and confidently followed Chu Fangan's words and asked Pei Siran, "Yes, what does it have to do with you?"
Pei Siran made a "tsk" sound and was ready to punch. Chu Fangan was one year older than him and he was too embarrassed to hit him, but could he not teach this little brat Zhong Yi a lesson?
After a minute or two, Chu Fangan's conscience came to his senses and he stopped him, saying, "That's enough, just a few hits will do."
Zhong Yi covered her face which was pinched by Pei Siran and almost cried out in pain. This world was cold and trembling. She wanted to cry.
"You did it on purpose. Why didn't you stop him when he first started?"
Chu Fangan: "You should learn a lesson so that you won't be unable to resist jumping on pretty girls when you see them."
It would have been better if he didn't say anything. As soon as he said it, Pei Siran's fist started to itch again.
This time Chu Fangan had his conscience, "Okay, stop fighting, let's go eat."
There are many restaurants near the hotel. The three of them randomly found one and ordered their meals. Zhong Yi had calmed down and asked curiously, "Most of the people staying in our hotel are contestants, right?"
Chu Fangan nodded.
"Then Tong Juan will also participate?"
"You'll have to ask your brother Pei."
Zhong Yi looked at Pei Siran who was sitting opposite him, "Will he attend?"
Pei Siran certainly knew whether Tong Juan would participate or not. After watching Tong Juan's live broadcast that day, he asked someone to help him check the list of participants. Tong Juan's name was on the list, and even the people he hated were on it.
Seeing that Pei Siran did not refute him, Zhong Yi understood what the correct answer was and immediately became happy, "Wuhu, that's great, I can talk to him every day."
Pei Siran: “?”
"Maybe if I'm lucky, I can share a dormitory with him, and..."
Pei Siran used Zhong Yi's spoon to scoop a spoonful of vegetables and stuffed it into his mouth. "Eat it quickly, it will get cold soon."
Zhong Yi's mouth was blocked, and he could only blink: "But, this is a cold dish." However, it was rare for Pei Siran to feed him food. Zhong Yi found something wrong while chewing, and immediately took a napkin and spit it out, "Why are you feeding me ginger?"
Pei Siran: ...
He said he didn't mean it, would Zhong Yi believe him?
When Tong Juan saw these three people again, he was already backstage at the program crew.
Chengnan Group built a "school" for them in the suburbs of City B, which had teaching buildings, dormitories, canteens and even shops. When Tong Juan saw the distribution map, he already felt the determination of the program team to implement closed management.
Tong Juan labeled the suitcase with his name and handed it to the staff, and was then taken to the dressing room by another staff member.
He has good skin and delicate facial features, so he doesn't need complicated makeup. The stylist focused on his hair. Boyish hair is thick, so straight hair is too rigid, and curly hair makes his head look big. The balance between the two must be struck just right.
"Okay, you can go change your clothes now."
I don’t know how long it was, so long that Tong Juan thought he was going to fall asleep, when the stylist finally spoke.
Tong Juan secretly stretched and stood up, "Thank you, sister."
The stylist nodded and handed him the costume.
Tong Juan prepared his own performance clothes, an ordinary black shirt and a pair of ordinary black jeans. When he came out after changing his clothes, Pei Siran just walked in, followed by Zhong Yi and Chu Fangan.
Compared to the three people who haven't had their hair done yet, Tong Juan looks a lot different today. His originally well-behaved face becomes gorgeous after putting on makeup, his pink lips are also painted with a touch of red, his black hair is very lazy, the collar of his shirt is slightly open, revealing his white neck, and the same black jeans are wrapped around his two long and straight legs. The whole person looks lazy and sexy.
Seeing the familiar blonde hair, Tong Juan smiled at them, and then a staff member came over to tie a microphone for him. His loose shirt was lifted up, revealing his slender waist and a perfect curve below the waistline.
It looks like it feels good to touch. Not only does it feel good to touch, it should also feel good to rub.
Pei Siran's face turned red and he immediately looked away.
When he turned his head, he saw Zhong Yi staring at Tong Juan infatuatedly. He couldn't help but move his arm, touched Zhong Yi's thigh, and pinched it hard.
Zhong Yi took a breath and asked, "What are you doing?"
Pei Siran asked fiercely: "Where are you looking?"
Zhong Yi blushed and shut up.
Pei Siran: It’s hard, my fist is hard.
