Chapter 211 Storm
Ren Limeng: (blinking cute kitten.jpg)
Ren Limeng “patted” Shen Xingzhi.
On WeChat, Chen Xingzhi's simple and unaltered tap content was completely within Ren Limeng's expectations, but she still couldn't help but complain exaggeratedly.
Ren Limeng: Brother Xingzhi, isn't it too easy for you to just take a picture? It's so boring!
Chen Xingzhi:?
Chen Xingzhi slowly raised a question mark, which was enough for Ren Limeng to immediately imagine him standing in front of her with a cold face and raised eyebrows. Although he looked cold and unapproachable, there must be a hint of unbelievable cute confusion in his eyes, which was more attractive to her than a cute kitten.
Ren Limeng chuckled softly, her fingertips moving as she quickly replied to Shen Xingzhi's message.
Ren Limeng: If you don’t believe me, pat me (tsundere)
The other side suddenly fell silent. Ren Limeng kept staring at the chat interface on the screen where there was no message, until her avatar on the interface moved slowly and gently.
Shen Xingzhi patted his little baby, who knew he was wrong, and said loudly, "I miss you!"
The expected new content on the phone still made people smile knowingly. Ren Limeng raised the corner of her mouth, quickly took a screenshot, and revised her own photo. Her smiling eyebrows seemed softer in the night.
Shen Xingzhi: ...
Chen Xingzhi: Ren Limeng, you...
Shen Xingzhi: Childish
Ren Limeng: I really miss you, Brother Xingzhi, don’t you miss me?
Ren Limeng: We have been separated for 34 hours and 34 minutes, and you still don’t miss your girlfriend?
Ren Limeng: (crying loudly.jpg)
Ren Limeng scrolled through the short but long messages on the chat box. Knowing that the person on the other end was not sincere in what he said, she smiled and deliberately teased him. In a childish way, she once again avoided the issue of her slow reply during the recording, and half-truthfully expressed her true thoughts.
Today, Ren Limeng couldn't help but think of Chen Xingzhi many times. During the first two public performances, when they were in the team, she had always disliked his cold face. Every time it appeared in her mind, only his handsome face remained, lingering in every breath, and could not be shaken off.
Ren Limeng: Our team is almost ready for the quiz. Everyone has been busy with the quiz tonight, preparing to amaze everyone tomorrow!
Ren Limeng: Although our team doesn’t have a singer, we won’t give up! Brother Xingzhi, you can look forward to it (tsundere)
After Ren Limeng expressed her longing frankly, no new messages popped up on the chat interface, but she didn't seem to care at all. She continued typing with a smile and answered the questions in Shen Xingzhi's message. She changed the subject as if she didn't feel at all the possible shyness behind Shen Xingzhi's sudden silence.
To be honest, Ren Limeng was not at all sure that she would amaze everyone on the quiz, but in private in front of her boyfriend, Ren Limeng sent the message easily.
Chen Xingzhi: Is the arrangement finished? Do you need any help?
Ren Limeng: Of course not. We are now ready for everything except the quiz.
Ren Limeng: Brother Xingzhi, we are competitors in this matter. It’s not good for you to try to sneak around with me every day (dog head)
Ren Limeng certainly understood the unspoken kindness and concern in Chen Xingzhi's words. It was not his concern for the captain of another team as a competitor, but her boyfriend's concern for her.
Chen Xingzhi had been busy dealing with various parties recently regarding the expiration and non-renewal of his agency contract, and only had time to patiently ask her about the problems she might encounter as a captain for the first time on the show. He sent her new messages whenever he had the chance. In fact, Ren Limeng's emotions were not as relaxed and casual as when she sent them to Chen Xingzhi.
Ren Limeng understood Shen Xingzhi's thoughts. He didn't care about the so-called competitive relationship at all. In the eyes of a big star like Shen Xingzhi who had been in the entertainment industry for a long time, the recording of the program itself was a play performed for the audience, and the so-called program rules were even more scornful.
In the entertainment industry, what is important in variety shows is the performance in front of the camera, rather than the content of the show itself.
But this is Ren Limeng's first reality show, and she still hopes she can be more serious.
What's more, Shen Xingzhi has been busy enough recently, and she doesn't want to waste his extra energy on these trivial matters.
The relationship between the two suddenly took a step forward, and they had so little contact time these days. Ren Limeng didn't know how to tell Shen Xingzhi about her indescribable emotions and thoughts through the screen, so she could only express it in a more playful way, trying to laugh off Shen Xingzhi's inquiries for help and make the atmosphere between the two more relaxed.
Chen Xingzhi: Secretly crossing Chencang?
Chen Xingzhi: We should be secretly in contact.
Ren Limeng's eyes were slightly stunned. As Shen Xingzhi's new message, which was a bit "greasy" but implied seriousness, she lowered her eyes slightly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose a little. Ren Limeng's slender fingers stroked the screen. She leaned back slightly, pulled up the quilt, and curled up on the soft big bed. She couldn't help but take another look at the reply on the screen.
As eloquent as she was, she didn't know what to do at this moment. She couldn't think of how to respond for a moment. The only thing Ren Limeng wanted to do now was to stand in front of Shen Xingzhi, quietly observing his expression with a smile on her face, and slowly raised her arms to hug her boyfriend...
Even though they were in the same Jingchu land, Gangcheng was still too far away from Yangshi where Chen Xing's team was located.
Outside the hotel, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. The sound of wind and rain passing by made Ren Limeng's heart even more restless.
Maybe it was because it was late at night and everyone was asleep, but at many moments at this moment, Ren Limeng put down her phone, raised her head, and couldn't help but think that if San Gong could be on the same team with Shen Xing, even if she couldn't be the captain, she might... be willing to do so.
This week’s mandatory grouping rules… it’s such a shame!
She was almost counting the days until the weekend performance. Time had flown by so quickly during training, but now it felt so slow...
Wednesday
As soon as Ren Limeng woke up, she felt something was wrong. She subconsciously picked up the phone on the bedside table. The screen showed that it was only 6:26. A pop-up window on the phone displayed a new text message notification of a red alert for heavy rain from all major operators.
Ren Limeng set the alarm for 6:30, but what woke her up at this moment was the sound of gusts of wind howling outside the window, accompanied by the "crackling" sound of raindrops hitting the hotel windows, which made her frown subconsciously.
In the dim room, Ren Limeng glanced at Li Qingzi, who was still sleeping with her eyes closed on the other bed. She got out of bed quietly and opened a corner of the curtain. The view in front of her was already shrouded in a violent storm.
The rain in Gangcheng is heavier than yesterday.
The sky outside the window was weighed down by thick dark clouds, and it seemed as if raindrops as big as beans were pouring down at any time. The raindrops hit the glass windows densely, splashing large pieces of water.
Looking into the distance, Ren Limeng could only see the crisscrossing streets that became blurred in the wind and rain. The trees on the street were swaying wildly in the wind and rain, with branches and leaves dancing in disorder. A sense of unease in the wind and rain came over her.
Opening WeChat, the program team had already synchronized the heavy rain warning reminder in the Sangong work group in the early morning. Ren Limeng frowned and quickly washed up. When she came out of the bathroom, Li Qingzi had already gotten up, opened half of the curtains, and was looking out the window silently.
"It's raining so hard, we came at a good time."
Li Qingzi sighed casually, saying that most of today's schedule was indoors, and she seemed to have no impression of it, but in such a storm, no one was in a good mood to record.
"yes."
A trace of worry flashed across Ren Limeng's eyes as she looked out the window. As the host of the agricultural channel, there were not many good things she could think of in such a heavy rain.
Hopefully, everything isn't too bad.
At eight o'clock in the morning, when Ren Limeng and the other three met in a business car, they found that everyone had chosen to wear light makeup, which was more suitable for a rainy day. In the underground parking lot, after sitting in the car, everyone chatted about today's heavy rain.
"I checked the weather forecast on Monday and it said it might clear up on Thursday. I didn't expect it to rain so hard today. I just passed by the lobby and it felt like the entrance was almost flooded. Does it always rain so much in Gangcheng?"
Fei Jingting and Li Qingzi were sitting in the front row. Fei Jingting turned her head and sighed softly, looking at Ren Limeng and An Ling in the back row.
"The forecast says a typhoon has suddenly turned towards Gangcheng. It's usually rainy in Jingchu in the summer, but such heavy rain for several days in a row shouldn't be that common."
If it wasn't for the recording this week, as a Jingchu native, the strong wind and heavy rain would not be a big surprise to Ren Limeng. But it happened to be a program, especially a daily travel recording, so such heavy rain was too bad.
The check-in points in Wangjiang District are mainly concentrated indoors, but starting from today, Ren Limeng and his party came to Guanshan District, and the scenic spots and historical sites here are basically all outdoors.
Fortunately, although the flower-wrapping experience on Wednesday morning was in a village in Guanshan District, it could be carried out indoors. The four of us were also preparing to return to Gangcheng Museum for the live quiz in the afternoon. At least today, the strong wind and rain should not have much impact.
"In this weather, why don't we skip the village tour and go directly to the flower-wrapping experience?"
An Ling looked out the window with a calm gaze. After leaving the parking lot, the world around her was filled with wind and rain, which no one could ignore. In such an environment, even with a long umbrella, it was impossible to ensure that her makeup was perfect.
The main purpose of their trip was to record the program, not just to travel and check in. Recording in such an outdoor environment would not only make everyone suffer, but the effect would definitely not be good.
An Ling spoke softly and immediately received responses from everyone in the team. Even the program crew only expressed their agreement silently at this moment.
"After checking in at the flower shop, shall we go directly to the Gangcheng Museum? The museum is in Wangjiang, not too far away, and it will take more than 30 minutes to get there. In such bad weather, it's better to go early to be safe."
Ren Limeng continued with the arrangement issue raised by An Ling. Originally, the four of them planned to return to the training room to practice as soon as they finished checking in at the station in the morning, but in this natural environment, the situation had to change.
