Chapter 101 Teacher Xie, something bad has happened!
There is an old saying...
"Choose the lesser of two evils"!
So now, when Xia Linxing had the choice between looking at the camera and looking at Xie Tinglan, she resolutely chose -
former.
"oh?"
The last "option" that was "cruelly" abandoned - Xie Tinglan raised his eyebrows, glanced at Xia Linxing playfully, and spoke slowly and leisurely, "It seems that Xingxing doesn't want to look at me..."
"Who do the stars want to see?"
“Chen Sibai?”
"still……"
"Zhao Jian?"
"Ah?" Xia Linxing glanced at Xie Tinglan in confusion, not quite understanding why Xie Tinglan suddenly mentioned Shen Sibai and Zhao Jian.
Xie Tinglan understood Xia Linxing's expression and explained to him considerately, "Don't you and the two of them have your own CP?"
"I was thinking... maybe if your 'lover' was behind the camera, it would make you feel more relaxed..."
“Maybe I can perform even better~”
Xia Linxing, Xia Linxing is no longer the same Xia Linxing as before!
This time, he was very perceptive and heard the sarcasm in Xie Tinglan's words. He puffed out his cheeks, raised his chin and retorted, "Then we are still a couple!"
"Oh?" This time, Xie Tinglan really laughed, "So you knew that too..."
"But..." Xie Tinglan released the hand that was pinching Xia Linxing's chin and spread his hands towards Xia Linxing innocently, "Doesn't Xingxing look down on me?"
"Between me and the camera, the stars seem to prefer looking at the dark camera~"
How could he have that!
This is a huge injustice!
How dare Xia Linxing! Xie Tinglan is the protagonist! How dare he, a mere cannon fodder, look down on Xie Tinglan!
He is, he is... Xia Linxing lowered his eyes and pursed his lips: He just didn't dare to stare at Xie Tinglan anymore.
To avoid having some weird thoughts at that time.
"Look..."
An artificial sigh sounded in Xia Linxing's ears. Xia Linxing raised his head in surprise.
Xie Tinglan lowered his head, slumped his shoulders, and twisted his brows into the shape of a bitter "川" character. He shook his head and sighed, "Xingxing says he doesn't have it, but he doesn't even want to look at me..."
Xia Linxing retorted weakly: "I, I don't..."
"Really?" Xie Tinglan asked, "Hasn't Xingxing been deliberately avoiding me these past few days?"
What are you hiding...?
Although Xia Linxing felt guilty, he refused to admit it: "I didn't hide!"
He was just avoiding it reasonably. What does hiding mean?
"Then why... every time I see the stars these past few days..." Xie Tinglan complained, whether genuinely or not: "The stars seem to be avoiding my sight..."
Xia Linxing opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
Should he say that he didn't dare look at Xie Tinglan because he felt guilty? Then Xie Tinglan would definitely continue to ask him why he felt guilty...
And the reason for his guilty conscience... No, he absolutely couldn't let Xie Tinglan know!
Xia Linxing could only deny it flatly: "No, there is no such thing..."
He even tried to shift the blame: "Teacher Xie, you are too sensitive!"
"Yeah?"
Xie Tinglan gave Xia Linxing a meaningful look.
Xia Linxing was obviously hiding something from him, but he didn't necessarily need to get to the bottom of it at this point—after all, they would have plenty of time to settle accounts later. So now, Xie Tinglan simply sighed artificially, "Since Xingxing said she wasn't hiding from me, then that's fine..."
Xia Linxing was obviously relieved.
It was a close call, I finally managed to fool Xie Tinglan——
"Since the stars aren't hiding from me..."
He heard Xie Tinglan continue to say lightly: "Then I guess it should be no problem for Xingxing to complete the next shot by looking at me instead of the camera..."
Xia Linxing: “!!!”
He has a problem, he has a big problem!
But he had just denied that he was not hiding from Xie Tinglan... If he said it now, he would be contradicting himself.
So Xia Linxing could only put on a bitter face and was carried back to the studio by Xie Tinglan.
…
"I'm back, I'm back..."
When the other trainees saw Xie Tinglan and Xia Linxing coming back, they immediately called out.
But... the trainees looked at each other in bewilderment: they had thought they would see Xia Linxing, who had learned the skills Xie Tinglan had lovingly taught him and was returning full of confidence.
But... the trainees glanced at Xia Linxing, who was following Xie Tinglan with his head hung down, with confusion on their faces: Why do they feel that... Xia Linxing seemed even more listless than before he went out?
Could it be that Xia Linxing was called out to actually be scolded?
If this is the case, the trainees suddenly feel smoother all over.
All the displeasure that Xia Linxing had felt because she was able to receive Xie Tinglan's special treatment disappeared at this moment.
And Xia Linxing's subsequent performance also gave them a shot in the arm -
How should I put it? To say that Xia Linxing hadn't made any progress was not true... Xia Linxing's performance was indeed much better than before. Although it wasn't completely natural, it was much better than before when he was so stiff that he didn't know where to look.
But... that's all. It doesn't say that after receiving individual guidance from Xie Tinglan, Xia Linxing suddenly opened up his Ren and Du meridians and became an astonishing person.
——This also made the other trainees completely relieved.
The trainees were relieved, but Xia Linxing was almost crying in her heart.
Woo woo woo…
Xia Linxing was forced to look at Xie Tinglan behind the camera, and in order to prove that he was not avoiding her, he had to smile brightly at Xie Tinglan, regretting his decision in his heart.
If he had known…if he had known things would turn out like this, he would have looked at the camera and smiled!
You see, under Xie Tinglan's "tyrannical power", wasn't he able to take a photo while watching Xie Tinglan smile naturally... So if he had pushed himself a little, maybe the photo would have been taken! He wouldn't have to be forced to smile at Xie Tinglan like he is now...
Amidst Xia Linxing's "regret", the photographer completed the shooting on time.
He lowered his head to check the photos he had taken and nodded, "Okay, the shooting is over!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Linxing seemed to have all his strength drained away in an instant, and he sat down limply on the ground.
This is even more tiring than singing and dancing on stage!
"Xingxing, are you okay?" Seeing Xia Linxing sitting on the ground, Shen Sibai walked over with some concern and wanted to pull Xia Linxing up, "Are you too tired?"
Xia Linxing stood up with his strength, but she was still stubborn and refused to admit defeat: "I'm not tired! I'm just, I'm just...hungry!"
"Yes, I'm hungry!"
After all, they had been shooting for five or six hours at most, so it was normal for him to get hungry while filming!
Chen Sibai seemed to have not expected Xia Linxing's reason to be this. He couldn't help but smile and comforted him: "Be patient, when we return to the base we can-"
"Thank you, Teacher, for treating everyone to some snacks!"
The cheers of the staff interrupted Shen Sibai’s words, and the two subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
Xie Tinglan had ordered takeout without knowing when, and was directing the delivery guy to place the takeout boxes on the empty table. He also did not forget to greet the surrounding staff and trainees over: "Everyone, come and eat together..."
"I bought some low-sugar desserts. Let's replenish our energy first..."
"Thank you all for your hard work today..."
The studio staff and the other trainees who had finished filming and changed back into their own clothes all rushed over cheering.
"Thank you, teacher!"
"Long live Teacher Xie!"
Xia Linxing stretched his neck to take a look and saw that the staff were excitedly taking out square paper boxes from the takeaway bags.
Xia Linxing's nose twitched, and then his eyes lit up.
It's a small cake!
Shen Sibai noticed Xia Linxing's excitement and felt more and more that Xia Linxing was just a child who had not grown up.
He smiled, gently pushed Xia Linxing, and scared him: "Hurry up and change your clothes, otherwise all the cakes will be divided and there will be no share for you..."
Xia Linxing looked down at the clothes on her body.
Oh yeah, the clothes he's wearing were provided by the sponsor. It would be bad if they got dirty while eating the cake...
Xia Linxing quickly left the studio and ran to the dressing room to change into her own clothes.
When he came back, the air in the studio was filled with the sweet aroma of cake.
Shen Sibai, who was eating a small mango cake, saw Xia Linxing. He was about to put down his spoon and waved Xia Linxing over, but someone spoke before him.
"Xia Linxing, here..."
Xie Tinglan spotted Xia Linxing, who was sniffing as he walked like a puppy. He waved at him and called him over. "Come quickly, there are only a few cakes left. If you don't come soon, there will be none left..."
With the cake in front of him, Xia Linxing no longer cared that the person calling him was Xie Tinglan. His mind was filled with the words "If you don't come over now, it will be gone", and he immediately ran over in small steps.
"Cake, cake~" He's coming!
Xia Linxing ran briskly to Xie Tinglan's side and looked at the table in front of him.
Perhaps because he was the last one to come back, there were only three small cakes with cut corners left on the table.
The one on the left is a mango cake. The golden flesh is cut into small pieces and piled on the soft white cream waves. The ripe tropical fruit aroma is wrapped in the sweetness of the cream - it looks super delicious at first glance!
The two on the right are strawberry cupcakes, with a whole bright red strawberry deeply embedded in the cream and sprinkled with white powdered sugar - this looks super appetizing!
Xia Linxing immediately began to hesitate. He looked left, then right, and for a moment he didn't know which one to choose.
How about strawberries? Or mangoes?
"Have you made your choice?" Xie Tinglan moved closer to Xia Linxing calmly, staring at Xia Linxing's face closely, not missing a single expression on his face.
Xia Linxing's face was full of confusion, and his eyes moved between the cakes on both sides. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he reached out to the left.
“I’ll choose this one!”
The mango cupcakes look more refreshing!
Xie Tinglan raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone rising, "Are you... sure?"
After hearing Xie Tinglan's words, Xia Linxing stopped midway in his outstretched hand. He carefully raised his eyes to glance at Xie Tinglan's expression, and began to guess what Xie Tinglan meant by suddenly saying this.
He looked down at the cake again, and after a moment, he suddenly realized -
He knows!
Xie Tinglan must also want to eat mango cake!
After all, there was only one mango cake left on the table. If he took it away, Xie Tinglan would have nothing to eat.
But as the host and mentor, Xie Tinglan had to take the food first, so even if he wanted to eat the mango cake, he had to wait until everyone had taken theirs before he could do anything.
But unfortunately, there was only one mango cake left! So, Xie Tinglan was too embarrassed to directly say that he wanted to eat the mango cake, so he could only hint at him with this rhetorical question!
Xia Linxing said he understood!
His outstretched hand suddenly turned, and very considerately reached out to the strawberry cake on the right, while saying to Xie Tinglan: "I suddenly feel that it is better to eat the strawberry cake!"
As he picked up the strawberry cake, he praised himself happily in his heart: He is so considerate!
Xie Tinglan raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Linxing who had temporarily changed his choice, narrowing his eyes slightly.
Although Xia Linxing did not choose the mango cake in the end, his previous hesitation and the action of reaching out for the mango cake at the beginning still exposed a lot of problems.
At least, it more or less helped confirm some of his previous guesses.
"Thank you, Teacher..."
A staff member came over and whispered a few words in Xie Tinglan's ear.
Xie Tinglan nodded, "I see. I understand."
He looked down at the time. It was still a little while before the bus would pick him up, so he turned to the staff member and said, "Then I'll go over..."
The staff member was immediately happy, "Teacher Xie, please come this way!"
Xie Tinglan turned his head to look at Xia Linxing, who was holding a cake and was called over by Shen Sibai to eat together. The other party's back now looked very happy. He chuckled softly, then took a step and caught up with the staff.
But when he returned to the studio and was about to ask the trainees to pack up and go back, he found that the studio had become a mess.
A group of people gathered in the middle and I didn't know what they were doing. The surroundings were in a mess and I couldn't hear what they were saying at all.
"What's wrong?"
Xie Tinglan walked over, subconsciously looking for Xia Linxing in the crowd.
But before he could find the person he was looking for in the messy crowd, he saw the trainees in the outermost circle saw him and acted as if they had found a life-saving straw.
"Teacher Xie, something bad has happened!"
The trainee yelled at the top of his lungs, "Xia Linxing has started to break out in a rash all over her body for some reason!"
