Day 47
There was a familiar female voice, and Ye Lai knew it belonged to the director.
The boy in training clothes walked in, slightly bent over, and scanned the people sitting and standing, finally slowly landing on Fu Xunyan.
"Excuse me, is there anything you can do for me?"
He noticed that when he asked this question, no one seemed to be able to answer it, and like him, they didn't know the answer.
Everyone just cast their eyes on the tall young man in the middle. He was like an exploding star in the universe, affecting the fate of all the surrounding dust.
"Ye Lai is here, can you tell me how to deal with this now?"
Deal with? Deal with what? Ye Lai was confused and suddenly ran into those eyes.
The pool was still as deep as before, but suddenly the moonlight reflected on it, and the leaping brightness brought the restlessness of the last spring night.
He saw Fu Xunyan raise his chin, his handsome jawline pointing towards the large screen in front. Ye Lai unconsciously shifted his gaze and caught sight of the photo.
That's it!
Li Pengcheng noticed that Ye Lai's face suddenly became very interesting. It was pale for just a moment and then quickly turned crimson, as gorgeous as the peach blossoms in March. A little moisture quickly spread in the boy's eyes.
It's not because of sadness, but because of being too eager and...shy.
“I…that is…”
The staff of the program team have never seen Ye Lai like this. Although he is young, he has always been calm and composed. In the eyes of his mother fans, he is the "other people's child". He is considerate and elegant. He has never left a black history in the three years since his debut. Even when he went to the group variety show in the countryside, he paid attention to his image management.
He always smiles, although some people say he is a bit fake (otherwise he would not be able to make friends in "New Century"), but no one can deny that if you want to find a benchmark for "idol", Ye Lai must be the most standard.
Shen Ziqing was confused. "What's wrong? Why are you reacting so strongly? Do you know this girl?"
The three consecutive questions failed to make Ye Lai speak, but instead seemed even more embarrassed. In such anxiety, he glared at Fu Xunyan.
It was a vivid, smiling masked boy, the first time he had made such an impolite expression in front of so many people without any modification. But he was still handsome, with rosy cheeks and watery eyes, finally showing the awkwardness of a twenty-year-old.
The young man, who had been glared at by him, stood still and suddenly smiled. Unlike Ye Lai, his smile carried a radiant beauty, like flowers blooming on a branch in spring, his eyes and eyebrows filled with warmth and charm.
Hiss—all the staff in the venue took a deep breath.
These two people really fit the description of "relying on the United States to commit crimes" too well. They don't need to do anything to confuse people.
But why is the atmosphere between them so strange?
Fu Xunyan spoke first. He looked at the production team and said, "Not only does Ye Lai know that girl, but she has a very close relationship with her. She can be said to be the closest person to me in the world. Isn't that right, Ye Lai?"
Ye Lai was furious, "You're talking nonsense!"
Wow, the little prince cursed, so shocking.
I don't know why, even though these two people were arguing, they seemed like they were watching an idol drama.
The staff had dead eyes.
What do you call this? The bond of fate. My scandals are always related to you. Isn't this a kind of evidence that my CP is real?
Ye Lai knew that there must be an explanation for this matter. At the same time, he vaguely realized that it was probably because this photo had leaked into the market that caused Fu Xunyan's current love affair.
Isn't that a sure thing? Even a dog wouldn't recognize the woman in the photo, but Fu Xunyan's face is crystal clear. How could the two of them be misunderstood in that pose?
Ye Lai was completely desperate, but he was a good man after all.
"That girl is actually me."
Ye Lai's expression was too abnormal. The staff originally thought that he recognized the girl and were waiting for Ye Lai to say that the girl was his sister or younger sister... or even something outrageous like his mother or aunt. However, the answer Ye Lai gave still shocked everyone.
"What?" "How could it be!" "Dizzy"
Everyone present, except Ye Lai and Fu Xunyan, felt incredible.
"Xiao Zheng, pinch me to see if I am dreaming." Assistant Director Qian Qiu Sheng's eyes were dazed, and he couldn't believe what he heard.
Shen Ziqing couldn't help but slap the table, "You? Are you kidding?"
"It's me, it's me." Ye Lai seemed to be giving up.
"At that time, I was filming a group variety show. The content was to dress up as a girl and randomly invite a stranger to wear a couple ring with me."
Shen Ziqing hesitated, "But as far as I know, there doesn't seem to be any relevant content in your group show?"
Ye Lai gritted his teeth and said, "Because it was too embarrassing in the end, I didn't let him out!"
No, if you already knew it would be embarrassing, why film it?
Fu Xunyan seemed to be thinking about something.
**
Seven months ago.
"Give him the quota?" Mr. Zhang glanced at Fu Xunyan. "He only signed you up for four months, right? Have you achieved any results?"
Li Pengcheng had the final say in front of Mr. Zhang at that time and was very high-spirited. He raised his eyebrows, grabbed Fu Xunyan's arm and pushed him forward a step.
"Mr. Zhang, look at this face. This face is definitely worth investing in. And Xiao Fu is quite capable. Although he started late, the teachers all said that he has great physical strength and is very good for singing and dancing."
"Also, didn't they say at the meeting that each group would have one or two spots? Even though I'm the only agent in my group right now, it's still a group, right?"
Li Pengcheng stopped talking here and signaled Fu Xunyan with his eyes to say a few nice words to Mr. Zhang. The company paid for them to attend the training for free, and there were more than 20 trainees in the company competing for these eight places.
However, the boy he hinted at seemed not to understand.
His hair was already very long, but in order to save money he was always reluctant to cut it, putting it off until next week. Now it was all piled up under his eyebrows, almost covering his eyes.
The back of the head is convenient. Just tie it with a rubber band and it will look neither male nor female. Fu Xunyan doesn't care.
His eyes were calm and somewhat restrained. In short, the whole person standing there was like stagnant water, boring and ordinary, which made people lose interest.
But he does have good conditions, with long arms and legs, and he is not the thin and frail type. He has a good figure, and his small head and face are one in a million.
Mr. Zhang didn't have a good impression of Fu Xunyan, but he had to give Li Pengcheng face, so he finally agreed to pack him up and put him in the team and send him to Country H.
The other seven people had been training in the company for at least two years and had a close relationship with each other. They were naturally exclusive to the quiet Fu Xunyan, so much so that they found out that Fu Xunyan had no accommodation after landing.
For some unknown reason, the coordinating staff missed Fu Xunyan.
There was nothing wrong with squeezing one person into the rental house, but the rejection and disgust in the boys' eyes hurt the 19-year-old Fu Xunyan. He said nothing, but walked into the street alone, carrying a simple backpack and wearing a thin jacket in the cold November day.
He has a strong ability to survive. Even though he can't speak the local language, he applied for a temporary job at a convenience store with the English he learned by himself.
Fu Xunyan still thinks that it was because he looked so pitiful at the time that the boss was kind enough to let a foreigner come to help.
As for accommodation, Fu Xunyan did not hold back and contacted Li Pengcheng on the same day. Li Pengcheng applied for a sum of money from the company for him, which was enough to rent an old and dilapidated house.
For the next month, Fu Xunyan lived in a ten-square-meter space. His part-time job, from five to ten in the morning and nine to eleven at night, paid well, and the added bonus was that he could eat all three meals at the training center, rather than relying on expired convenience store products.
Taking the exchange rate into consideration, Fu Xunyan actually earned more during this period than he did working part-time in China. It was a small profit that was enough to save for tuition, which made him feel good every day.
On the day of the first snow, Fu Xunyan came to the convenience store to work as usual. Just as he had put all the things in place, he heard a commotion at the door.
However, in a foreign country, he had no desire to explore, so he just continued to clean up.
"Is everything ready? Ye Lai shoots first?" The PD wearing a hat frowned and shouted.
"Yes." The assistant put down the phone and said something nervously in the PD's ear.
"If he doesn't want to, then he can just bring it up with his own company. What's the point of telling me?" The PD was unhappy. "Jae Hyuk is so willful."
The assistant couldn't help but complain a little, "Yeah, but there's nothing we can do about it. After all, the resources for this group are all provided by the Jae Hyuk family."
PD doesn't care about these things. He was just invited to shoot a group variety show. Whether the guests cooperate or not will not affect his salary.
"Never mind. Keep urging them to make a decision on whether to shoot or not. I'll finish Ye Lai's party first."
"Oh shit, what a shame! Ye Lai is pretty and obedient. The only regret is the green card."
Behind the bushes, the boy, who had already dressed up, had his eyelashes trembling and smiled sneerfully at his short skirt.
He has a green card, so he is always the first to take on the itineraries that no one else in the group is willing to do.
Ye Lai had nothing to say. Many of his fellow green card holders had received the same treatment. Given his current status, even resistance would be like an ant trying to shake a tree.
He brushed the water droplets off his body and looked up at the sky.
The clouds are very thick, and it is either going to rain or snow.
The November night was very cold. Even though Ye Lai was wearing a fake mink coat, she was still shivering with cold, not to mention that she was only wearing a short skirt and thin leggings.
The long wig was rough and uncomfortable, and it made his neck itchy. Ye Lai controlled the urge to scratch and looked towards the street.
It was a very ordinary convenience store.
No, it is somewhat unusual. It stands abruptly on the street corner, with few shops around it, occupying a secluded spot.
What makes it extraordinary lately is not only its location, but also some of the new things in the store.
In order to integrate into the culture of Country H, Ye Lai often used various software, especially star-chasing apps. So more than half a month ago, he came across a post that was quite popular at the time.
The high school girl said in the post that a handsome part-time student appeared at the convenience store she often went to. Unfortunately, he was a foreigner and it was a bit difficult to communicate with him, otherwise she would have contacted him and asked for his contact information.
Originally, there were few people paying attention to it, until someone left a message asking the poster to post a picture. After that blurry candid photo was uploaded, the popularity of the post quickly soared to number one that day.
Handsome, really handsome!
Under the bright incandescent light, the boy with long hair is tall and has bony hands holding a box of milk as if it were a small toy, full of temptation.
The face cannot be seen clearly, but the neck is white and the exposed jawline is extremely delicate.
It is this hazy atmosphere that is the most deadly, so much so that for several days afterwards, people went to this convenience store to check in. Everyone who saw the real person said that he was really handsome, but they just refused to post a frontal photo.
The question is, the handsome guy wants to keep it to himself and will only share it when he catches up with you.
Thinking of this, Ye Lai felt even more ironic. The production team said they were randomly picking boys to play a prank, but they had to go to this store to take pictures. I wonder if they had some kind of agreement with this boy.
Ye Lai was not afraid to make malicious assumptions about others. He felt that the boy must have signed a contract with a company after the website became popular, and had an exchange of interests with his own company, hoping to use their group variety show to hype up the boy.
"Ye Lai! It's time to go on stage!"
Ye Lai cleared away the messy thoughts in his mind, wrapped his shirt tightly around him, and walked straight towards the convenience store.
No matter what their purpose is, he just needs to behave himself well.
As long as Bi Jae Hyuk, Bi Hyun Joon, Bi Woo Hee, and the convenience store clerk behave well, that's all.
Isn’t it?
