Chapter 13 Of course, that's all.
The small details on the high-speed rail made Xu Chichi suddenly alert, but also strengthened her determination to ease the relationship with Ren Limeng, a smart person in her eyes.
The same harmonious conversation with smiling faces, this time in the B&B room, she no longer subconsciously looked down on the agricultural channel host because of Ren Limeng's "insignificant position and influence". The Orange platform is naturally full of hidden talents.
"Sister Chichi, after we pack up, do we need to go talk to Brother Xingzhi about the follow-up plans? It seems the production team is less involved in this trip than we thought. We have to figure out a lot of things on our own. Time is so tight, we still need to make plans early!"
"Yeah, I thought so too. I didn't expect this season's show to be so realistic. The production team is completely hands-off! I'm feeling a bit nervous right now. I'll ask Brother Xingzhi on WeChat if he's free later!"
"...Okay, I'll ask Bai Wei and the others too."
Yan Baiwei never replied to Ren Limeng.
To be precise, Yan Baiwei did not accept Ren Limeng's WeChat friend request. Ren Limeng directly sent a text message to Yan Baiwei. She didn't care about Yan Baiwei that much. It was just a team, and some procedures should be in place.
If Ren Limeng really wanted Yan Baiwei and Li Qingzi to come to the meeting together, she should have chosen to send a message to Li Qingzi. Li Qingzi not only added Ren Limeng as a WeChat friend, but also followed Ren Limeng on Weibo, which seemed very friendly.
Xu Chichi and Ren Limeng changed into casual clothes. When they arrived at Chen Xingzhi's room, Chen Xingzhi seemed to have taken a shower. His short hair was only half-dried, and his laziness revealed a hint of softness that was different from that of the daytime. His slightly damp white new T-shirt was refreshing and simple, and it also outlined the mermaid line that was faintly visible around his waist.
Shen Xingzhi wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, and his cool temperament added a bit of solemnity and maturity of a gentleman. He turned sideways and invited Ren Limeng and the others into the room.
Ren Limeng noticed the laptop on the desk in the room at a glance. When she saw Shen Xingzhi wearing glasses, her first reaction was that he was like this in school, and he would only take out his glasses when he was reading or studying.
Chen Xingzhi's myopia is very low, and most of the time he doesn't need to wear glasses to live his life. Even when he's on stage hosting, Chen Xingzhi is used to not wearing contact lenses. He once told Ren Limeng that he likes that feeling very much. The slight blur makes the whole world in front of him look hazy, which makes him feel real and stable.
At that time, Ren Limeng was filled with admiration. She was not nearsighted and could not feel the so-called hazy beauty.
More importantly, she is not nearsighted, but she still has difficulty reading the densely packed small characters on the teleprompter and cue card not far away, and she is always terrified of making mistakes.
However, Chen Xingzhi was able to prepare all the words in advance and showed excellent on-the-spot hosting skills. She thought she would never be able to learn this in her lifetime, and he controlled the overall situation as easily as if it were his own arm.
"Excluding today and Saturday's rehearsal, we only have three days to explore Lin City. With so many attractions and rehearsals, time is very tight."
In the room, Ren Limeng was arranged by Chen Xingzhi to sit at the desk. In front of her was Shen Xingzhi's computer, which was lit. The computer screen was showing a photo of Yantan's famous check-in attraction - Yan Emperor Altar. The huge bull-headed human statue stood firmly at the end of the long stone staircase. It was not only the landmark building of the entire scenic area, but also a place for countless people to trace their roots and pay homage to their ancestors.
Chen Xingzhi should be making a travel plan in advance, just like her. The first stop, Lin City, was chosen on the spot in the morning. They were not familiar with this place, and the program team had a completely hands-off policy. They could only rely on themselves. Starting from the high-speed rail, Ren Limeng had been trying to understand Lin City, a city that was better seen than heard of.
"My initial idea is to check in at the scenic spots in the morning, gather in the training room in the afternoon, and practice more on my own in the evening. What suggestions do you have?"
Shen Xingzhi expressed his opinion concisely and tilted his head to look at Ren Limeng and Xu Chichi.
Ren Limeng subconsciously tilted her head slightly, her eyes passing over Shen Xingzhi and looking at the wall behind him. She had no idea of opposing Shen Xingzhi. To be precise, her brain just froze for a moment, and she just wanted to avoid Shen Xingzhi's face.
Chen Xingzhi still looked cold, but in the more private room, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, a gentle pair of silver glasses, and a slightly raised lip, he inexplicably revealed a temperament that was reluctant to accept.
Damn it!
After so many years, her heart, which had long been as calm as water, would still be "moved" by Shen Xingzhi's handsome face!
She is not an eighteen-year-old girl anymore, and there is no possibility for her to repeat the same mistake. However, Shen Xingzhi is so handsome when he pretends to be cool, and she is just physically unable to resist his charm!
After all, even when the tall, clean, and handsome male model in the usual video software smiled and called her "sister", she sometimes couldn't help but stop for two seconds to give a like. What's more, she and Shen Xingzhi were only two steps away from each other, so it was normal for her heart to beat a few times!
Of course, that’s all.
Business is the most important thing. Even though her heart skipped a beat for half a second countless times, Ren Limeng still had a calm smile on her face. Apart from some fleeting details of her expression, no one noticed what was going on in her mind beneath her calm demeanor.
"That's great. It's summer now, and the afternoon temperature is high. If we use it for training, we can kill two birds with one stone. But, why don't we practice together in the evening?"
No matter how much Ren Limeng has prepared, this is her first time participating in a reality show, and she is still unsure how important the performance is to this season's program. However, the time for each performance this season is so short, so it is always right to seize every minute.
"I have no problem. Do you think Yan Baiwei will practice with you?"
With the camera on the side, Shen Xingzhi still spoke very bluntly. He had been on too many variety shows in recent years. Compared with Ren Limeng's cautious words, Shen Xingzhi was too familiar with the platform's editing and understood the rules of the circle better.
The program needs conflict, but not all emotions will be edited into the film. Behind this are more games and bets, conflicts of interest and platform choices.
Ren Limeng finally couldn't help but chuckle silently, and it seemed that she was just smiling awkwardly because of Shen Xingzhi's words.
Chen Xingzhi has been speaking so freely these past two days, performing steadily and not caring about the camera recording at all. Ren Limeng really couldn't understand it. Chen Xingzhi used to be a broadcasting and hosting major, and now he is not a host anymore, but why does he speak so casually and presumptuously? If it weren't for this unique handsome face, Ren Limeng would really suspect that she had recognized the wrong senior.
After observing him, she really couldn't see any trace of the rigor and self-discipline of a host in Shen Xingzhi.
Fortunately, she stopped being a fan early, otherwise she would really have to shout "My youth is over". The same person, although she looks still cool and aloof, has changed a lot.
After communicating with Shen Xingzhi, Ren Limeng and Xu Chichi returned to the room at around ten o'clock in the evening. Xu Chichi asked Ren Limeng to wash up first. When Ren Limeng finished washing up, she found that Xu Chichi was still sitting at the desk, holding his mobile phone in both hands, with a focused expression.
"Sister Chi Chi, I'm done washing."
Ren Limeng was applying a facial mask, pulling open the quilt on her bed, and quietly reminding Xu Chichi.
"Okay, I'll wait a little longer! I'll be done soon!"
"Are you still working on the strategy?"
Ren Limeng was a little curious. They had just been in Shen Xingzhi's room for so long, and had basically discussed the itinerary for the next few days and exchanged many suggestions. Did they miss something?
“No, I’m editing a vlog.”
The summer night sky in Lin City is full of sparkling stars, and the night seems to soften, bringing a faint tranquility.
"Okay, I'll go to bed first."
After Ren Limeng finished speaking, the room returned to silence. She walked to her bed and silently glanced at the camera mounted on the bedside. Suddenly, she realized that she had just been looking at Xu Chizhi and subconsciously thought too much.
It was her first reality show and she was deeply influenced by the Douban "Eating Melon" group. These past two days, she couldn't help but be suspicious of every move of the guests and couldn't help but think about the so-called deeper meaning behind them. This way, she can indeed see many things clearly, but it is really tiring. She is just a humble agricultural host and has not experienced so many twists and turns in the dark, so naturally she doesn't have much practical experience.
On such a quiet night, she would also feel a little depressed. She knew that she should have performed well in front of the camera in the past two days, but she could also see that every time Shen Xingzhi looked at her, there would always be a flash of mockery in his eyes, watching her hypocritical smile, reminding her that time was like a knife, carving changes everywhere, and she sometimes felt a little strange about herself.
But no matter how unfamiliar she is, she is still the same as now. Just like this seemingly relaxing but actually brain-burning reality show, she has to keep moving forward.
Xu Chichi seemed to be busy until late at night before he fumbled to turn off the floor lamp and fell asleep. At seven o'clock the next day, Ren Limeng woke up and took out her mobile phone to see Xu Chichi's WeChat message. She wanted to sleep a little longer so that Ren Limeng would not have to wake her up in the morning to eat together.
Ren Limeng washed up with light steps, and went to the specialty breakfast restaurant she had chosen based on the travel guide last night with her camera.
Ren Limeng really wanted to try Lin City's special potato shredded cakes and beef and egg skin. Although they were both in Jingchu, their Mei City did not have these two special snacks. She was already starving yesterday when she saw the yellow food pictures on her phone.
Anyway, I have a busy day today, so if I slightly exceed the carbohydrate intake in the morning, I can just consider it as accumulating strength in advance!
Ren Limeng looked at the red price list outside the breakfast shop with a satisfied smile on her face. She placed her order with the proprietress and felt a little sad about the 17 yuan breakfast fee. But then she thought, since she was already here, she had to spend this little money if she wanted to eat!
After convincing herself in three seconds, Ren Limeng strode into the bustling breakfast shop in a good mood. She looked around, trying to find an empty seat to sit down and wait for the meal, when her eyes suddenly caught a familiar figure - her "dear" captain Shen Xingzhi.
Her smile froze for a moment, the corners of her mouth slightly tightened, and then she put on an impeccable and gentle face again.
