Chapter 78 Winter Hot Pot
Lu Min and Li Xuan went upstairs one after another. Like Bai Lili, they both made warning sounds upstairs. Judging from the sounds, they must have encountered something on the second floor.
Yin Yan became more and more confused.
"Okay, Xiaoyan, you can go up now."
The staff received the news and said to Yin Yan.
Yin Yan stood up and stretched his body, then said to the cameraman, "I'll go upstairs to see what's going on."
He walked to the stairs and took a few steps nervously.
Just after turning the corner, Yin Yan saw the photography teacher.
He was stopped on the second floor.
There was a table in the area directly facing the camera, and Li Zhen was sitting behind the table.
Yin Yan: “…”
Li Zhen spread out his palm and moved it across, showing Yin Yan the five items on the table, as if he was showing a task card.
Yin Yan was familiar with this question. He had seen it on variety shows before. He didn't expect that it would be his turn now.
The five items on the table are an induction cooker, hot pot base, a hot pot dipping platter, a plate of meat, and a basket of vegetables.
Li Zhen said: "If you make the same choice as the person in front of you, unfortunately, you won't get that thing anymore."
Yin Yan was amazed: "Why is the pot in the options? What if I take everything else and the pot is duplicated?"
Li Zhen shrugged and smiled happily: "So this is a test of tacit understanding."
Yin Yan finally understood why the person in front of him had to wait for a long time after going upstairs before the next person could be called.
He also has a problem with choice hesitation!!
[Xiaoyan is under a lot of pressure hahahaha]
[Hehehe, the time to test our tacit understanding has come! It all depends on Xiaoyan! ]
[I'm late! What did the people in front of me choose? ]
[Hahaha, those who came late, guess with Xiaoyan]
Yin Yan supported his hands on the table, thought for a long time, raised his hands, and placed them above the induction cooker.
Li Zhen's expression remained unchanged: "Are you sure you want to choose this one?"
Yin Yan moved above the dipping sauce again.
Li Zhen: "Then take your time to choose."
Yin Yan: “…”
There was no hint at all on Li Zhen's face.
No, he still has to analyze it himself.
Yin Yan said: "The first one to go upstairs is Brother Yu. I guess he will choose the induction cooker pot, which is the most important thing for hot pot. Without the base and dipping sauce, you can still cook the vegetables in plain water. Brother Yu is used to considering the overall situation. The second one is Sister Bai. When we had dinner together before, she said that the dipping sauce is the soul of hot pot, so she should have chosen the dipping sauce. Brother Lu is a foodie and likes spicy food. Hot pot cannot be without base, but he prefers meat. The base and meat are the things he is most likely to choose. However, he should leave the meat for Brother Xuan..."
Yin Yan picked up the vegetable basket.
Li Zhen: "Are you sure you want to choose the dish?"
Yin Yan: “…”
In his dream, he returned to class and the teacher asked him, "Are you sure you want to choose this answer?"
When he was in school, Yin Yan would have doubts about himself, but now he was completing the challenge with a friend he had known for two months and had traveled with five times. Yin Yan nodded: "I'm sure."
He carried the basket of vegetables to the small terrace on the third floor, where everyone was waiting for him.
Yin Yan glanced at the things already on the table.
Bai Lili asked him excitedly: "How is it, how is it, what did Xiaoyan choose?"
Yin Yan stretched out his hands from behind his back.
Li Xuan jumped up from his chair: "What do you mean by tacit understanding? You are worthy of being called Sunset Red! Where is Li Zhen? Does he accept it?"
Yu Xiangwen stepped forward and took the basket of vegetables from Yin Yan's hand, and even Lu Min smiled.
【Sunset Red!! Team Spirit!!】
[Oh my god! Xiaoyan accurately guessed what everyone was holding! If they hadn't been on the live broadcast and not playing with their phones, I would have suspected that they were cheating]
[This is amazing! I have played similar games with my friends and it is hard not to repeat it]
[Is this tacit understanding? Ah, I feel the bond of friendship! Damn, I feel touched for no reason.]
[By the way, isn’t it really cold to sit on the terrace in this weather? How did Li Zhen choose the place! ]
[There seems to be a fireplace around here]
[It shouldn't be cold when the pot is lit]
[I vaguely seem to have guessed why the filming was done outdoors...]
【？ ？ ？】
After plugging in the induction cooker, Lu Min put the hot pot base into the pot, added boiling water, covered the pot, and waited for it to boil.
The aroma of hot pot filled the air. Bai Lili wrapped herself in a cotton coat and complained, "The production crew is really getting stingier and stingier. We could eat as much hot pot as we wanted during the first live broadcast, but now they just give us a basket of vegetables and a plate of meat. The luxurious meal we talked about was earned by us with our tacit understanding!"
Li Xuan: "I should have tied Li Zhen to the acupressure mat and made him walk around twice in the morning!"
The director's voice came faintly from behind: "What are you talking about?"
Li Zhen pushed a cart over with various dishes on it. Yin Yan took a closer look and found that the so-called cart was actually a barbecue grill.
Yin Yan: "Director, what is this...?"
"We agreed to a luxurious dinner, so of course I won't lie to you!" Li Zhen said with a smile, "You guys won the hot pot with your tacit understanding, and the barbecue was prepared by the program team."
Li Zhen sat together with everyone, and their seats were the same as during the first live broadcast.
Li Xuan: "For the sake of the barbecue, I'll let you go this time!"
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Otherwise, don't let me go. I'll get my revenge next season."
[Wow, why is this the last episode? I don’t believe it! ]
[Season 2! I want the original cast for Season 2!!]
[Li Zhen, please think of a solution quickly]
The hot hot pot dispelled the cold night wind, and the surrounding staff also came to eat. Yu Xiangwen and Lu Min took turns to be responsible for the barbecue, and some of the barbecued food was also shared with the photography teacher.
Li Xuan tried it once, but the chicken wings he baked were half-cooked and had to be sent back to the oven.
“I wonder if you still remember the ice-breaking game we played when we first met?” Li Zhen took a bite of another skewer of burnt squid from Li Xuan, silently put it away, and spoke.
Li Xuan: "Finish your meal!"
Li Zhen: "Now that it's the last round, why don't we do the tasks we drew again?"
Li Xuan: "Eat the squid first."
Li Zhen: "Then let's follow the order, starting with Brother Xuan!"
Li Xuan: "You're going too far, Li Zhen!!"
The four people watching the show burst into laughter.
Li Zhen resolutely refused to respond to Squid's words and said to Li Xuan, "Brother Xuan's task was arm wrestling. He knew he couldn't beat Xiang Wen and Xiao Lu, so he chose Sister Bai. Who are you going to choose this time? Sister Bai again?"
Li Xuan: “…”
Li Xuan gave up worrying about the squid and said excitedly: "Xiang Wen! Come!"
The other three cheered and clapped.
Yu Xiangwen rolled up his sleeves.
Li Xuan: "Don't be so serious!!"
Li Xuan also rolled up his sleeves unwillingly, and Bai Lili and Yin Yan cleared the table to make space for the two of them.
Yu Xiangwen had such strong arms that he could lift Yin Yan up high. There was no doubt in this match that Li Xuan lost.
Li Xuan was happy to lose: "Hey, actually I wanted to fight Xiang Wen in the first round, this can be regarded as a dream come true."
Bai Lili chose to make Lu Min laugh this time, but she told Lu Min not to let her off, and she wanted to make him laugh based on her strength.
Lu Min agreed: "Okay."
As soon as Bai Lili came on stage, she pushed the tip of her nose with her fingers, creating a pig nose.
Lu Min: “…”
Expressionless.
Bai Lili told a cold joke in disbelief, Lu Min: "..."
Continue to remain expressionless.
Ten seconds passed.
Bai Lili angrily said: "Is your bread body an istj!"
Lu Min asked blankly: "What is bread?"
As a result, Yin Yan, who was watching the game from the side, was amused.
When it was Yu Xiangwen's turn, his choice was still Yin Yan.
[Oh oh oh! I'm going to start waving the banner of classical Chinese! ]
【Hi! Wife! Hi! Wife! 】
[Hahahaha, I have a feeling that if Brother Yu said this, Xiaoyan would still blush in an instant]
【Xiaoyan is too thin-skinned! 】
[Can't it be the other way around? I want to see Xiaoyan make Brother Yu blush! ]
[Yu Xiangwen's face is thicker than that of a city wall crook. I've never seen him blush (/rolling eyes)]
However, this time Yu Xiangwen said nothing. He turned to face Yin Yan, looked into Yin Yan's eyes, and then did not move.
"It's started?" Bai Lili looked at her watch. "Then I'll start the time?"
Yin Yan's gaze met Yu Xiangwen's eyes, which contained a faint smile.
He remembered what he had said before.
"If you look at me with your eyes, I will blush."
Ten seconds is so long.
[Xiaoyan, what are you laughing at? You love to laugh so shyly! ]
[Just look at each other, why is Yu Xiangwen leaning forward!!]
【Ahhh, the atmosphere of the young couple should not be too strong! 】
【Who will press the head】
[As we all know, it is difficult for young lovers not to kiss when they look at each other]
[Don't look at it, just kiss each other]
[If you don’t kiss me, you’ll be sorry to the audience!! ]
[Yu Xiangwen, where are you looking? Are you staring at Xiaoyan's mouth?]
[I testified that he saw it]
【Xiaoyan's ears turned red!!】
[Who said Yu Xiangwen wouldn't blush? Now he is blushing]
[Are these two really in love? I'm going to start eating them.]
Seeing Yu Xiangwen getting closer and closer to him, Yin Yanxian couldn't stand it anymore and leaned back to cover his face: "...It's because Brother Yu is too handsome."
Bai Lili laughed, "Yeah, yeah, I understand. We all understand~"
Yin Yan: “…”
This part was over quickly.
It's Yin Yan's turn.
Li Zhen asked: "If we were to name the group again, what name would Xiaoyan come up with this time?"
Yin Yan thought about it, looked at the four people around him one by one, and said with a smile: "Let's not change it, let's just call it 'Red Sunset'."
…
When they were almost done with the hotpot, Lu Min took out the guitar from the villa, sat aside, and slowly hummed "Farewell" with a sweep of his fingers.
Bai Lili shouted, "Hey! Do you have to be so tear-jerking? It's not like we won't see each other again!"
Lu Min just smiled.
"...a pot of muddy wine to end my remaining joy, don't dream of the cold tonight."
After the song ended, Lu Min put down the guitar and picked up the water glass.
The other four also raised their glasses and clinked them in the air.
"cheers!"
Li Zhen glanced at the time and said, "Let's not have a farewell segment. If you have anything to say, just say it. If you don't have anything to say, put it in the drinks! Drinks instead of wine!"
Bai Lili was the first to raise her glass: "I was a little hesitant about whether to participate in this program, but I just came because my schedule was free. Fortunately, I came and met you all. I am very happy to record these episodes. It is my blessing to be able to become friends with you all. I will drink first!"
Li Xuan was the most emotional of the five people. He usually talked a lot, but now he couldn't say anything. He wiped his eyes, raised his glass and said, "Let's get together more often if we have the chance! The group that Li Zhen is in can be closed down, but our small group of five people must not be closed down!"
Li Zhen: “…That’s too much.”
Lu Min was not good at speaking but was sincere: "...I will hold a concert next year and reserve seats for everyone. Come anytime you want."
Bai Lili: "Then I want a VIP seat in the backstage!"
Lu Min nodded: "Of course."
It was Yu Xiangwen's turn. He thought for a moment, raised his lips and said, "This is my first time to be a regular guest in a variety show. Actually... I originally thought of participating in "Winter Travel" because of someone, but this journey is far more interesting than I expected."
Yin Yan, who was sitting next to Yu Xiangwen, slowly opened his eyes.
……ah?
What is Yu Xiangwen talking about?
【What the hell???】
[Is this a confession???]
[For someone!!! Who do you think it is? ]
[It’s definitely because of Xiaoyan, right? ! It’s definitely because of Xiaoyan! ! ! ]
"I'm really happy to spend this winter with everyone. I also want to say... This year is a very lucky year for me. I was able to meet several friends and Xiaoyan. These are all very precious fates in my life. Fortunately, I seized this God-given fate."
After Yu Xiangwen finished speaking, he finished the drink in the cup amid the cheers of Bai Lili and Li Xuan.
【Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!???】
[How dare you? ? ? ! ! ]
[He specifically brought up Xiaoyan! ! Ahh ...
【A fate given by heaven! A fate given by heaven!!】
[Other people are friends, so what is Xiaoyan? A lover, right? ! ]
[This is not a confession, what is this! What is this!!]
[I declare! This is a confession!!!]
[Confessing in public! Holy shit, I’m really dying of excitement ahh ...
【kswl...it still has to be Yu Xiangwen...】
[Oh my god... This is a confirmed fact...]
The last person to speak was Yin Yan, who had not yet recovered from Yu Xiangwen's words: "I, I..."
[Look, the kids are so scared hhhhh]
[Poor Xiaoyan tried to cover it up all the way, and everyone usually cooperated with him and pretended that they didn't notice anything, but Brother Yu finally revealed the truth]
[Yu Xiangwen! Does your wife know that you want to confess your love in public?! You might be punished to kneel on the washboard tonight]
Yin Yan forced himself to calm down, but ended up repeating the same thing as Yu Xiangwen in his first sentence: "This year... this year is also my luckiest year..."
Everyone laughed in a good-natured way.
Yin Yan paused, and simply stopped talking, saying whatever came to his mind: "I'm really happy to be able to play with you all. And, Sunset Red is so, so great. Thank you brothers and sisters for taking care of me these past few sessions, and... and thank you Brother Yu too!"
I don’t know what he was thanking me for, but Yin Yan tilted his head back and drank the drink.
Yu Xiangwen could no longer hide the smile on his face, and Bai Lili and Li Xuan shook their heads as they watched.
Lu Min sighed: "They have a really good relationship, better than friends."
Bai Lili: “…”
Li Zhen also drank the wine in his glass, stood up and said: "In fact, we chose to record the last episode here, and arranged for everyone to eat hot pot outdoors tonight. In addition to echoing the first meeting and sensationalizing it, there is another reason!"
He checked the time again and said, "Now! The production team is preparing to make another big move!"
"Everyone look up at the stars in the sky."
After living in the city for a long time, all you see when you look up is darkness. The city is brightly lit and it is difficult to see the stars. Over time, you will forget to look up at the night sky again.
At this moment, the five people in Sunset Red looked up and saw the stars shining in the sky, which was particularly bright and moving.
"So beautiful..." Bai Lili murmured.
Everyone thought that this night sky with stars was a gift from the production team, but Li Zhen said, "Tonight, at this time, there will be a meteor shower passing by."
"Those who have wishes can start making them now!"
Bai Lili was surprised and asked, "Meteor shower?"
Li Xuan craned his neck: "Where is it? Where is it?"
Yin Yan stared at the night sky without blinking. When a flash of green light flashed by, he subconsciously grabbed Yu Xiangwen's sleeve and said, "Over there! Brother Yu! There really is a shooting star! Did you see it?"
Yu Xiangwen's eyes reflected Yin Yan's smile, and he replied: "Yeah, I saw it."
Li Xuan’s eyesight is not good and he is looking for his glasses; Bai Lili puts her hands together and makes a wish to the sky.
Lu Min picked up the guitar again and played a leisurely tune.
This winter is not cold at all.
