Chapter 146 You Look Exactly the Same
After saying those words, Xia Linxing's face from neck to cheeks turned red.
His fingertips were digging into the bed sheets tightly, and he lowered his head, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into right now. He didn't dare to look up at Xie Tinglan's expression at the moment.
Xie Tinglan looked at Xia Linxing, who was so embarrassed that she was about to smoke, and thought that Xia Linxing was so cute. She was obviously reluctant, but still did it obediently... This made Teacher Xie feel so soft-hearted.
"Xingxing is so good..." He leaned close to Xia Linxing's ear, next to that red ear, and whispered softly with a smile, enunciating each word.
The warm breath brushed against his ear, and Xia Linxing shuddered. But before he could raise his head to vent his anger, Xie Tinglan suddenly put the pillow back on the bed, jumped up from the bed ladder, and took a few steps back to show his determination not to peek again.
Xia Linxing's words were blocked, and he could only (what he thought was) glare at Xie Tinglan fiercely, and quickly gathered up the sheets, pillowcases and other things, stuffed them into the bag, and then stuffed them at the bottom of the suitcase.
Fortunately, Xie Tinglan did not act up again. He just acted like a real housekeeper who came to help, helping the flustered Xia Linxing to pack up a lot of things.
Xia Linxing looked at the neatly arranged luggage and his bed which had become empty again. He felt a sense of loss but also a sense of relief.
Now, his draft career... is really over.
He opened the dormitory door and prepared to move his luggage down bit by bit.
The dormitory hallway was bustling with activity, not only with other trainees packing their bags to leave, but also with some trainees who had already been eliminated. They had been invited back to watch the finals, and now that the competition was over, some of them, who had been close to the trainees who had just been eliminated, came to the dormitory to help with the luggage.
After all, when they left, they also received help from other trainees.
Xia Linxing even saw Cheng Xuezhou.
He was puzzled for only a second before realizing Cheng Xuezhou was looking for Ling Xiao, who worked in the same agency as him. Xia Linxing glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze without interest and began to move his suitcase downstairs with a chuckle.
Xie Tinglan also mixed in and dragged Xia Linxing's suitcase, pretending that he was carrying the luggage he had placed in the lounge.
After finally moving all the suitcases downstairs, Xia Linxing straightened up and wiped the sweat off his face. Just as he was thinking about how to thank Tinglan and send him away, a gentle female voice called him.
"Star!"
Xia Linxing looked up when he heard the voice.
A lady in exquisite clothes was standing next to a luxury car not far away, looking at him excitedly.
She was a woman who looked incredibly gentle. Her skin, so delicate and fair, was so well-maintained that it seemed to glow softly under the streetlights in the parking lot. Time seemed especially kind to her, leaving only a few faint lines around her eyes.
Her dark chestnut hair was tied into a simple yet exquisite low bun at the back of her head, with a few slightly curly strands falling on her temples, further highlighting her gentle temperament.
She was wearing an ivory silk long dress of simple and elegant design. There was no exaggerated decoration on the dress, only a pearl brooch on the chest and a silk shawl printed with elegant ink patterns on her arms. It looked very low-key, but the pearls that emitted a restrained brilliance under the light hinted that the brooch was of great value.
Although she exudes a noble and intimidating aura, her eyes are very gentle.
Xia Linxing stopped and a hint of subtle doubt appeared on his face.
I always feel like... this noble lady looks a little familiar...
"What's wrong?"
Xie Tinglan's voice rang out from behind Xia Linxing, his tone so relaxed it sounded like a joke: "You don't even recognize your own mother?"
Ah… Xia Linxing suddenly realized that it was the original body's mother! No wonder he felt a little familiar with her, it might be because of the memories left by this body.
But... Xia Linxing looked at the noble lady who was walking towards him in a hurry but still with a dignified and elegant posture, and pursed his lips guiltily.
He had forgotten...that after leaving the program crew, there was another "tough battle" to fight.
In particular, the difficulty of this scene is estimated to be more difficult than singing and dancing in the program group - these are the family members that "Xia Linxing" has been with day and night before!
What if he reveals a flaw...
Perhaps Xia Linxing's face unconsciously revealed his inner thoughts, and he heard Xie Tinglan whisper beside him: "Don't worry..."
"Aunt Mingyu likes well-behaved children...so, just be yourself..."
Maybe... Xie Tinglan thought thoughtfully: The Xia family might like this truly well-behaved "star" more.
The lady had already walked in front of Xia Linxing. Her steps still maintained their usual posture, but her pace was obviously quickened: "Xingxing..."
Her restrained voice still trembled slightly with excitement, "Have you missed your mother these days?"
She raised her head slightly and looked carefully at Xia Linxing's face with her gentle eyes.
"Yes, yes." Under the gaze of those gentle eyes, Xia Linxing didn't want to disappoint the owner of those eyes at all, so he nodded seriously.
"It must have been hard working on the show..." Su Mingyu's face was full of heartache.
When her son insisted on participating in the show, she initially disagreed. However, she could not resist "Xia Linxing" threatening them with a hunger strike and running away from home if they disagreed. In the end, she secretly contacted the program team and signed a contract, and they finally agreed.
Su Mingyu looked at Xia Linxing carefully, and after confirming that her son had not lost too much weight or suffered too much, she opened her arms and gently embraced Xia Linxing.
"I'm glad you're back..." She gently patted her son's back, venting her longing for him in the embrace. After a moment, she reluctantly let go of his hand, gently scolding him, "You're such a fool! How could you be so angry with your family for so long? You didn't even call them after the show..."
"Are you still mad at Mom and Dad?"
"Ah!" Xia Linxing jumped up as if he was reminded of something.
His cell phone!
His cell phone is still with the program crew!
He forgot to bring it back!
It really couldn't be blamed on Xia Linxing for forgetting. After all, he hadn't touched his phone once since he came to this world, so it was normal that he didn't think about it at all when he left.
"Mom!" Xia Linxing held Su Mingyu's hand and said anxiously, "Wait here for me!"
"My phone is still with the production team. I'm going to get it now!"
Su Mingyu laughed: "So she forgot her phone..." As long as Xingxing wasn't still angry at home and refused to call them...
"Then go quickly..."
Xie Tinglan also added: "I'm here with Auntie..." Don't worry about Auntie being alone...
Xia Linxing finally felt relieved and turned around and ran back to ask the staff of the program crew for his phone.
"This child..." Su Mingyu smiled as she watched Xia Linxing's hurried back, her eyes and eyebrows filled with joy. "He's really getting more and more lively. It seems like he'll be exactly the same as when he was little..."
Xie Tinglan looked at Xia Linxing's back and nodded in agreement.
At the beginning, the "Xia Linxing" he knew was very well-behaved and obedient. He didn't know when "he" became the paranoid person he is now.
Xie Tinglan stood there, chatting with Su Mingyu for a while about Xia Linxing's interesting experiences on the show. During this time, trainees passing by or about to leave would come over to say hello.
"Thank you, Teacher..."
A trainee came over and said hello, and politely nodded to Su Mingyu, who was standing next to Xie Tinglan. "Hello, Auntie—eh?"
The trainee suddenly laughed, "As soon as I saw Auntie, I knew who she was here to pick up~"
Su Mingyu smiled gently. She didn't find the trainee's words offensive. Instead, she asked with interest, "Then tell me, who am I here to pick up?"
The trainee puffed out his chest confidently: "Auntie, you must be here to pick up Shen Sibai!"
He gestured with his hands and feet, deliberately exaggerating and flattering, "Because your eyebrows and eyes, Auntie, are exactly the same as Shen Sibai's without makeup!"
