Day 74
Under the table where no one could see, Zhou Hengyu's feet moved closer to Kenny.
The sudden slight collision made the boy, who was in a foreign country and did not want to follow the right path because of the instigation of some people, feel empty inside.
He has to take action.
Park Soo-ha had terminated his contract a week ago, and the company was in a state of disarray, so they were pushing him to get a spot on "New Century"'s debut list. But Kenny knew he couldn't do it as long as Fu Xunyan was around.
He was like a shadow. Since the first day of the program's recording, he was like the darkest cloud hanging over his head. His beauty, which he was proud of, and his strength, which was quite good among young boys, were all overshadowed by this man's existence.
Kenny's face became increasingly gloomy, almost making the people around Fu Xunyan worry that he might flip the table.
"Aren't you exaggerating a bit?" Zhou Hengyu chimed in.
Fu Xunyan looked down on Kenny, but now he hated Zhou Hengyu even more. He gave him a cold look.
"Excessive? Are you sure you want to talk to me about this here? This is the first meal with the brothers. I don't want to cause trouble with you here, but if you insist, I won't give you face."
Zhou Hengyu opened his mouth, his face full of surprise.
He had never seen Fu Xunyan so aggressive, but he was confident that the last incident had happened so long ago, and it was just a competition in song arrangement, not a big deal. What right did Fu Xunyan have to blame him?
"What do you mean by face or not? I don't understand what you're saying. But Kenny is two years older than you, so he's your older brother. He just wanted to clink glasses with you and have a drink. Why are you being so sensitive?"
"And Kenny is a foreign friend. Wouldn't that be rude of you? Wouldn't that be embarrassing for us Chinese people?"
Bai Wenji was almost laughing out of anger when he heard this. What nonsense was this person talking about?
Fu Xunyan had been hungry for a long time, and he didn't want to treat his stomach badly in front of the delicious food, so he picked up a piece of fruit for himself in the silence.
There weren't many varieties of fruit on the platter, probably because their table was too busy arguing to add more, so only strawberries and mangoes were left.
Seeing his actions, Chen Chi quickly brought him strawberries, but Fu Xunyan shook his head and pushed them away, choosing mangoes that were farther away.
"I've always considered Kenny an ordinary trainee colleague. There's no such thing as a foreign friend or not. Our competition isn't the Chinese Bridge, and it has nothing to do with anyone's nationality."
"As for whether to drink or not, I don't like it so I don't drink. You are being polite by forcing me to drink?" Fu Xunyan narrowed his eyes and saw Zhou Hengyu's red face opposite him.
He understood the pride of this second-generation star, but as an ordinary citizen, Fu Xunyan had no reason to bow down to him.
"I'm telling you now that I can't drink it. You can just treat it as if I'm allergic or have a bad stomach. It doesn't matter. I won't drink it anyway."
Chen Chi secretly poked Bai Wenji under the table and made a thumbs-up gesture stealthily.
Awesome, Brother Fu.
This was the second time he saw Fu Xunyan look so sharp. The first time was the conflict in the cafeteria when he first arrived.
Kenny was still standing in his position, very conspicuous, with a red and white face, which was very interesting.
Fu Xunyan threw some hot pot vegetables into his own small hot pot, and couldn't help but sigh that it was really luxurious. This place shouldn't be a place to eat this kind of small hot pot. Director Shen's friend was very thoughtful and actually got all these equipment.
It felt like a one-off. After all, after this group of people had their meal, no one would go to the Jingshi Hotel specifically to eat hot pot.
At that time, Su Qing had just taken Shiwu to deal with the car issue. He originally didn't want to come over to remind them because he thought less trouble is more trouble, but after all, he had done a little bad thing first. When Su Qing looked at his phone again, several fans reminded him in the background that someone had leaked the information. It seemed that several fans of "New Century" had already rushed to the hotel.
The security of the hotel is very good and outsiders cannot enter, but I am worried that the guests staying in the hotel may also have fans.
"Yes, it's all my fault for not being aware of safety. I saw you all and thought you were a tour group. I turned the screen and broadcast it without paying attention."
Su Qing bowed very embarrassedly. The staff member on the other side was also a little nervous and hurried to tell the leader.
"Mr. Su, our leader said that it was an unintentional mistake and we can't blame you. We will pay attention to finishing and returning early."
Su Qing nodded, but his eyes caught a glimpse of the lively scene in the hall.
But despite all the excitement, why was there a good-looking guy standing there like he was being punished? His expression was also quite bad.
Su Qing said goodbye and left, completely unaware that someone had followed her to this floor. The staff of New Century assumed she was Su Qing's assistant or something, and wondered why a male anchor had two female assistants.
The smoke inside was getting thicker. There were six tables of people in total. Although the two tables next to Fu Xunyan were still eating, everyone could notice that they were putting food into their mouths at an astonishingly slow speed. Some of the young men kept biting their empty chopsticks, obviously eating the melon seriously.
Zhou Hengyu couldn't stand it. It was clearly Fu Xunyan who was the one being ungrateful, so why were everyone at the table staring at him with condemnation? He mentally cursed Kenny for being useless and unable to do anything right. He stood up, threw down a sentence "I need to go to the bathroom," and left.
Kenny sat down slowly, as if the storm had been dispelled by Zhou Hengyu's departure.
Zhou Hengyu didn't come back for a long time. The staff said that he ran back home in a huff.
Fu Xunyan drank a whole cup of drink, and just as the people around him wanted to go to the bathroom, they left together.
After coming back, new dishes were served. Chen Chi excitedly recommended to him a super spicy way to eat it. Fu Xunyan couldn't resist him and ended up drinking two glasses of drinks because of the spiciness.
"Hahaha, Brother Fu, you're such a wimp. I finally found something you can't do." Chen Chi laughed at him mercilessly when he saw his lips turned red from the spiciness.
There were ripples in the young man's eyes, but he didn't want to admit it no matter what.
"I can, but the spiciness you gave me is too high. Isn't Lao Bai also not good at it?"
Chen Chi turned his head and saw Bai Wenji on the other side also lost his calm and composure and drank tons of milk.
Seeing Chen Chi being so arrogant, Da Pei raised his eyebrows and said, "Come, I'll help you get revenge, Chen Chi. This time it's the Spicy King Competition in our 204 dormitory. Whoever can't finish this plate of spicy Maoxuewang is a dog."
As if it was not enough, he picked up the spicy noodles on the table and poured them in, making the others at the table drool. Even Chen Chi was a little scared and regretted dragging Fu Xunyan and Bai Wenji into it.
Wow, now is there no one who can punish Dal-bae?
Fu Xunyan, the only one who can punish him: I am saving myself, please don’t cue me.
The two of them started to make loud noises, as if they were drunk. Perhaps the chili peppers also had a nerve-stimulating effect, and each one was more excited than the other. Not to mention that other trainees at the surrounding tables also joined in the fight. Soon the whole banquet hall was filled with the loud laughter of young boys.
"Xunyan, what's wrong with you?" Min Hai watched everyone making a fuss with a smile, but his eyes inadvertently caught the young man's neck, and there seemed to be some red marks on his fair skin.
Fu Xunyan couldn't see it himself: "What happened?"
"It's a little red, did you catch it yourself?"
What did you catch? Fu Xunyan touched the spot where Min Hai pointed, but there was no pain or itchiness, and there was no lump.
"Maybe. It happens sometimes."
Min Hai didn't take it seriously when he said that.
The boys were full of passion and could not stand provocation. After a while, those who had agreed not to drink started drinking freely. Although the drinks provided by Director Shen were not of high quality, it was obvious that they were a little drunk.
The people in "I get it" didn't dare to touch the alcohol. They had received a notice from Fu Mowang a long time ago that they had to practice when they went back tonight. How could they practice if they felt sleepy after drinking?
So he stayed awake until the banquet was over.
Shen Ziqing, Qian Qiu Sheng and Yang Qing all came. Unlike the program crew who always wore black sports suits that were easy to move in, the directors and planners who appeared here changed into casual suits.
Especially Shen Ziqing, she looked gentle and elegant in the apricot suit, her round face was free of fatigue, and she looked very intellectual after putting on makeup.
The camera that was just moving around the table and turned on from time to time has become a device that is mounted there to record videos permanently.
Shen Ziqing coughed twice and everyone quieted down.
"Liu Yongshan just asked me why we didn't treat everyone to delicacies at the Jingshi Hotel and instead chose a hot pot..."
Liu Yongshan, who was named, lowered his head in shame.
"Because we think that people might prefer to eat something more lively rather than something that is not very down-to-earth."
"Whether it's me or everyone else, we all know very well that we are a competitive program, and not everyone can make it to the end."
"But the entire production team, including myself, is very grateful for everyone's efforts over the past month, whether it's our partners who left us in the first round or the contestants who will be leaving the show after tomorrow."
"Actually, I had very little confidence when the show first aired. Our industry isn't very popular in China, and many people are just trying to capitalize on it. Isn't there a saying that goes, 'Debut means unemployment?' We didn't have enough funding at the time, and I was even worried that the debut process would be a cold one."
"But I didn't expect we could get this far. Our performances in the first and second public performances were trending on the internet. We proved ourselves with our strength and achieved very good results."
"But not everyone has enjoyed the joy of success."
"Most of you have excellent looks and considerable abilities. On average, you all receive preferential treatment in your daily lives. But since the show started, each of you has been constantly evaluated and compared."
"There's definitely a gap between being an excellent student in a regular class and being an average or even poor student in a top class. The production team understands everyone's anxiety."
"Although we can't have everyone stay until the end, as some people are leaving the program, we want to leave everyone with one last beautiful memory. At the same time, we also want to tell everyone that this is not the end, but another starting point."
"This show doesn't represent everything. After leaving the show, everyone still has their own lives and their own goals to strive for. Your success or failure on the show won't limit you; it all depends on you."
"The mentality you have after leaving the show will determine the future you embark on."
