Xu Xinchen followed Xu Yaxin to the home of the designer who had immigrated here, as Xu Yaxin had mentioned. Xu Xinchen had been speculating that since the designer had immigrated a few years ago, his family's financial situation was probably only average.
She was even considering whether she should bring something with her, but Xu Yaxin didn't do anything, so Xu Xinchen had no choice but to give up.
When Xu Xinchen arrived, she realized that she had misunderstood the person. Although the person had immigrated a few years ago, they were not like the ordinary immigrants she had described.
The designer's parents are both doctors, earning top incomes in their field. They live in a three-story villa, and their barbecue area is located in the front yard of this villa, a fairly spacious spot.
Although this designer immigrated here a few years ago, he has lived here for a long time and was quite young when he immigrated, so now he speaks with a local accent and his personality has been almost assimilated by the locals.
Her Mandarin was already so-so, but when Xu Xinchen was brought over by Xu Yaxin, she saw the designer greet her with extreme enthusiasm, extending her arms as if to give the two of them a warm hug: "Two beautiful girls, you've finally arrived."
Xu Xinchen reacted extremely quickly and dodged to the side, giving an awkward smile: "I'm sorry, I accidentally got all sweaty just now. If you don't mind, let's shake hands."
The designer, who initially seemed displeased that Xu Xinchen had avoided his hug, immediately let go of that displeasure after hearing Xu Xinchen's explanation.
"Oh, I see. You don't need to worry too much. We won't hold this against you." The designer said as he came up and tried to give Xu Xinchen another hug.
Xu Xinchen had no choice but to stiffen and let the designer hug her. After exchanging friendly greetings, the two began to introduce themselves.
It was only at this moment that Xu Xinchen learned that this designer was the first designer to appear tomorrow, named Qian Duowen.
Qian Duowen had already met Xu Xinchen during today's competition and knew that Xu Xinchen had strong design skills, so she kept a flattering smile on her face.
After standing there talking for a while, the group slowly walked into the villa under Qian Duowen's guidance. The barbecue equipment had already been prepared and was piled up in the living room on the first floor of the villa.
When Xu Xinchen followed Qian Duowen inside, they saw that the first floor was already full of people. When they saw the three of them come in, the people excitedly greeted them.
After exchanging pleasantries, Qian Duowen led the group outside to set up the barbecue grill, while Xu Xinchen, Xu Yaxin, and other female designers stayed on the first floor to help skewer the meat needed for the barbecue.
Because of the large number of people, the group only worked for about half an hour to prepare everything. Xu Xinchen took the meat skewers assigned to her and slowly walked outside.
Xu Yaxin walked behind Xu Xinchen with a strange smile on her face, but Xu Xinchen, who was walking in front, did not notice Xu Yaxin's abnormality.
Perhaps because the charcoal was burning very well, these things had only been on the fire for a short time, but they were already...
After eating about half of the food, Xu Yaxin took the initiative to stand up and tell everyone that she was going inside to get a drink.
Xu Xinchen was busy grilling her own chicken wings at the time, so she didn't notice what Xu Yaxin was saying. About two or three minutes later, someone handed Xu Xinchen a bottle of cola.
Xu Yaxin's bright smile appeared behind the Coke bottle: "Miss Lu, the charcoal fire must be so hot, have a Coke to cool down."
Xu Xinchen had no doubts. After sitting by the fire for so long, she did feel quite hot. The cola felt like it had just been taken out of the refrigerator; it was icy cold to the touch and still had water droplets on it.
Xu Xinchen's heart skipped a beat. He pulled the tab on the Coke bottle and smiled at Xu Yaxin, saying, "Thank you, Miss Xu."
After saying that, Xu Xinchen raised her hand and took a big gulp of cola, then put the remaining half bottle aside and continued to focus on warming herself by the fire.
But not long after, she began to feel something was wrong. She patted her forehead and shook her head vigorously: "Strange, why do I feel so dizzy?"
Xu Yaxin stood behind, watching Xu Xinchen's actions, her smile deepening. She quietly took a step forward and walked to Xu Xinchen's side, reaching out to take the pair of iron chopsticks from Xu Xinchen's hand.
With a feigned expression of concern, he asked, "Miss Lu? What's wrong? Why does your face look so red?"
Xu Xinchen squinted, now she could hardly see what the person standing in front of her looked like. After trying hard to open her eyes and make out the person for a long time, Xu Xinchen finally recognized that the person standing in front of her was Xu Yaxin.
"I...I don't know, I feel so dizzy..."
As Xu Xinchen spoke, she reached out to touch her head, but Xu Yaxin immediately took her hand away: "Have you been standing in front of this fire for too long and inhaled too much carbon dioxide? Is that why you look like this?"
Although Xu Xinchen's mind was somewhat unclear, she was still able to think. She squinted and thought for a while, then suddenly felt that something was wrong. This was not a closed space.
How could there be such a thing as inhaling too much carbon dioxide? And why is Xu Yaxin suddenly so concerned about her? She had only just started to feel dizzy when Xu Yaxin immediately came over.
Combined with the fact that Xu Yaxin had just given her a bottle of cola, Xu Xinchen immediately became wary. She took a step back, squinted, and tried hard to make out the path in front of her.
At the same time, he said to Xu Yaxin, "Miss Xu, no need. I feel fine now, and I feel like I need to go to the restroom. You can play here by yourself for now."
After saying that, Xu Xinchen walked directly into the villa, but after only two or three steps, she started running.
