After hearing Song Baiyi's words, Cheng Zhi felt his ears and cheeks getting slightly hot.
He now seemed to have a closer understanding of what Song Baiyi had meant by partiality before.
Song Baiyi had told him before: "Compared to other contestants, you should be better to yourself than to others."
Now I tell him: "When you are in trouble, just tell Song Baiyi and he will do his best to help you."
Although now, Cheng Zhi still hasn't figured out why Song Baiyi is unconditionally partial to him.
However, he felt that the only thing he could do now was to try his best to repay Song Baiyi's favoritism towards him.
For example...from now on.
The first way to repay Song Baiyi’s favoritism is to listen carefully to what Song Baiyi says.
After thinking of a good corresponding method, Cheng Zhi curled the corners of his mouth, and then subconsciously raised his head excitedly.
As a result, his eyes suddenly met Song Baiyi's.
Song Baiyi's pupils are very dark in color. When you stare at him for a long time, it will make people feel like they are falling into the bottom of an unfathomable pool.
It was full of mystery, and Cheng Zhi couldn't help but get closer.
Maybe because it was the first time he looked into Song Baiyi's eyes at such a close distance, Cheng Zhi felt a little embarrassed.
He lowered his head and hummed softly.
"good."
"Next time...if anything happens, I will definitely tell Teacher Song first."
Song Baiyi patted his head gently, "Yeah, very obedient."
The next second, Song Baiyi changed the subject and asked cautiously, "The shoe box shouldn't contain the pair I gave you, right?"
When it comes to this, Song Baiyi feels scared.
He had already suspected that Cheng Zhi was deliberately distancing himself from him because he had pushed him too far for too long.
He hadn't figured out how to coax her back.
As a result, just now, when Song Baiyi saw Cheng Zhi handing the box to Cheng Li, his heart sank.
At that time, Song Baiyi almost thought he was going to lose Cheng Zhi.
When Cheng Zhi heard Song Baiyi's question, he was shocked. He didn't expect that he would have a second chance so soon.
He shook his head and said, "Ah... No, I put a pair of black and white shoes in there to trick him."
After saying that, Cheng Zhi raised his head and looked at Song Baiyi tentatively, "Teacher Song, don't worry, I won't give those shoes to anyone else casually."
After all, even he himself was reluctant to wear it and would rather put it away for display.
The second way to repay Song Baiyi’s favoritism is to honestly answer the questions Song Baiyi asks you.
Hearing Cheng Zhi's words, Song Baiyi slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
Fortunately, it’s not lost now.
Song Baiyi paused, then continued to ask: "Is it because it's expensive that you can't bear to part with it?"
"This..." Cheng Zhi shook his head, "No."
“Even if the shoes are only worth $20…I can’t bear to part with them.”
Cheng Zhi's voice gradually became smaller towards the end.
Fortunately, Song Baiyi has very good hearing and can catch all of Cheng Zhi's tiny sounds before they dissipate.
“…Because it was given to me by you, Teacher Song, I can’t bear to part with it.”
The third way to repay Song Baiyi's favoritism is to tell him all your inner thoughts about Song Baiyi word for word.
It was also the first time that Song Baiyi heard Cheng Zhi express his goodwill so directly. He was stunned for a moment, and even the hand that was on Cheng Zhi's head did not move again.
"you…"
"Hmm?" Without hearing what Song Baiyi said next, Cheng Zhi tilted his head slightly and asked, "Teacher Song, what's wrong with me?"
Song Baiyi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, then shook his head gently. His momentum just now was instantly muted, "It's okay..."
"Let me hold you for a while longer."
After saying that, Song Baiyi lowered his head again and buried his head in the crook of Cheng Zhi's neck.
Now Cheng Zhi has gotten used to the feeling of Song Baiyi hugging him.
So when Song Baiyi leaned his head over again, it did not stir up any big waves in his heart.
It is worth mentioning that Cheng Zhi is now a little reluctant to push Song Baiyi away.
He just lay quietly in Song Baiyi's arms, without moving or opening his mouth to continue bargaining with Song Baiyi.
On the other hand, because he was afraid that Cheng Zhi would continue to negotiate with him, Song Baiyi behaved much more honestly this time.
His hand movements became very regular, just lightly resting on Cheng Zhi's waist and behind his head, no more messy little movements.
So this time, neither of them mentioned whether they should continue hugging for five minutes or seven minutes.
The training time is over now, and the trainees have mostly returned to the dormitories. The training camp is already quiet, and the back door is a small corner that almost no one cares about.
Cheng Zhi was held in Song Baiyi's arms, and his four senses of sight, hearing, smell and touch were all occupied by Song Baiyi alone.
After a while, Cheng Zhicai slowly spoke, breaking the silence that belonged only to the two of them.
"Teacher Song, can I ask you a question?"
"Yeah." Song Baiyi's voice now sounded a little muffled, "What's the problem?"
"Are you angry because... I took the initiative to avoid you before?"
Hearing Cheng Zhi's question, Song Baiyi laughed helplessly, "Yes... Why not?"
"For example, someone says they want to be friends with you, and then turns around and goes to hang out with someone else the next day."
Song Baiyi paused, then continued to ask Cheng Zhi: "If it were you, would you be angry?"
Cheng Zhi put himself in Song Baiyi's shoes and instantly understood what he meant. He gently pulled the corner of Song Baiyi's clothes and began to apologize to him carefully.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Song... It's my fault for making you angry. Next time... I will never let this happen again."
"So, Mr. Song, can you stop being angry now?"
Cheng Zhi's apology and assurance sounded sincere to Song Baiyi.
When he first found out that Cheng Zhi was avoiding him, he was indeed very angry. But when he was alone with Cheng Zhi, besides being angry, Song Baiyi was more confused and helpless.
After being well-intentioned by Cheng Zhi, she was inexplicably treated coldly by him.
After offering help to Cheng Zhi, he was ruthlessly pushed away.
Even if he pushed the person against the wall and wanted to ask for a reason, he would still have to wait another 36 hours to find out.
When Cheng Zhi couldn't see him, Song Baiyi reflected on himself for a long time.
Song Baiyi also broke down everything he had done frame by frame according to his memory, and then pieced them together again to think about them.
He kept thinking whether he had done something to displease Cheng Zhi, whether he had done something that Cheng Zhi didn't like, and why Cheng Zhi suddenly seemed like a different person.
Song Bai couldn't understand it.
But after knowing the reason why Cheng Zhi had been avoiding her, her doubts and helplessness were immediately washed away by joy.
The best way to resolve Song Baiyi's feeling of anxiety and fear is to get a definite answer.
Naturally, Cheng Zhi gave him the answer with his actions.
Very good.
It turns out that Cheng Zhi didn't hide from me because he hated me.
The misunderstanding was successfully resolved, and Song Baiyi felt a lot more relaxed. He hummed, "I'm not angry anymore."
I won’t be angry when I hold you.
After hearing Song Baiyi say that he was not angry, Cheng Zhi's uneasiness was completely suppressed.
He knew that he had been avoiding Song Baiyi for no apparent reason, and that he had been too abrupt and had not handled the matter properly before.
Even though he went there at the beginning with the excuse of "not wanting Song Baiyi to be affected", the bottom line was that his way of handling things was still immature and a bit too reckless.
But it was precisely because of this recklessness that he began to understand himself a little better.
When he was hiding from Song Baiyi, Song Baiyi was not the only one who was tormented in his heart.
Cheng Zhi suddenly felt that the back door of the training camp was a really good place.
He was caught by Song Baiyi when he was taking barbecue through the back door before, and now he was caught by Song Baiyi again when he was trading with Cheng Li through the back door.
The common point is that this place brings him one step closer to Song Baiyi.
Whether it's physical or mental...it's all.
Unfortunately, this peace did not last long and was suddenly interrupted by noises from the outside world.
"Hey - who's there!"
A bright white light suddenly shone into Cheng Zhi's eyes, causing him to squint unconsciously.
The next second he reacted and realized that he and Song Baiyi seemed to have been discovered by the security guard.
Because of his criminal record, the subconscious avoidance reaction hidden in Cheng Zhi's heart has not been eliminated yet.
When he thought that he might be caught by the security guard, Cheng Zhi subconsciously grabbed Song Baiyi's wrist which was placed on his waist.
Then, before Song Baiyi even had time to react, he was dragged out by Cheng Zhi.
Song Baiyi:?
Was it because he held her too loosely or was it because Cheng Zhi was too strong?
Why did Cheng Zhi seem so relaxed and just pushed me away?
Cheng Zhi pulled Song Baiyi and ran very fast, with the two of them running in front and the security guards chasing behind.
Cheng Zhi suddenly realized that this seemed to be the same as before, a familiar scene, but this time it was a little different.
This time someone ran away with him.
After running for a long time, Cheng Zhi stopped when he was sure that the security guard would not catch up with him.
Cheng Zhi was not very good at running. His heartbeat was already quite fast, and with the sudden intense exercise, it was beating even faster.
He let go of the hand that was holding Song Baiyi, bent down, supported his knees and gasped for breath.
While panting, he looked up and talked to Song Baiyi, "Luckily... Fortunately, I reacted quickly... Otherwise, if I was... caught by the security guard, it would be bad..."
Song Baiyi: "..."
The sudden running made Song Baiyi's breathing a little heavy. He adjusted his breathing slightly, and there was a bit of helplessness in his tone.
"Have you forgotten that I am a mentor? We didn't need to run just now..."
"If you're caught by the security, just explain that I'm instructing you on your movements."
Hearing this, Cheng Zhi suddenly came to his senses.
Oh, he hugged her so seriously just now that he actually forgot that Song Baiyi was his mentor.
There was no way. In that environment, that atmosphere, and with the flashlights and shouts of the security guards, Cheng Zhi really felt like he was having a secret meeting with Song Boyi late at night and was caught in the act.
Cheng Zhi smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to react.
He pulled the corner of his mouth and said to Song Baiyi: "Ah, so that's how it is. I'll pay attention next time..."
Song Baiyi sighed, then reached out his hand to Cheng Zhi, who was bending over and gasping for breath, and prepared to help Cheng Zhi up.
The next second, before Song Baiyi felt the warm touch on his fingers, he felt his wrist being grabbed by Cheng Zhi.
He heard a hint of panic in Cheng Zhi's voice.
"Teacher Song...what happened to your hand?"
Song Baiyi lowered his eyes and looked towards Cheng Zhi's voice, and found that there was a scratch on his finger. A little blood oozed out of the wound.
At Cheng Zhi's exclamation, Song Baiyi withdrew his hand and gaze at the same time.
He understood, and then said calmly: "Just now when I was showing off with the fruit knife... I wasn't very skilled, so I got cut."
"But when I held you, the bleeding had stopped. I checked and your clothes were not soiled."
"It's probably from when I was running just now. It's a minor injury, don't worry."
After saying that, Song Baiyi was about to take his hand back, but was stopped by Cheng Zhi.
Hearing that Song Baiyi was injured twice because of him, Cheng Zhi's guilt doubled. He grabbed Song Baiyi's wrist and wouldn't let him take it back.
Cheng Zhi looked at Song Baiyi's wound with particularly distressed eyes, and his voice trembled a little.
"I'm sorry... How about I help you with the bandage?"
Song Baiyi raised his other uninjured hand and rubbed Cheng Zhi's head, "Why are you apologizing again? I got this injury by accident, it has nothing to do with you..."
He wanted to continue speaking, but when he met Cheng Zhi's wet eyes, he couldn't go on.
Cheng Zhi's handsome eyebrows were slightly frowned, his eyes were watery, and he looked at Song Baiyi with a somewhat aggrieved expression.
Looking at Cheng Zhi's face, Song Baiyi closed his mouth and swallowed all the words he wanted to say. In the end, thousands of words could only be combined into one sentence.
"Okay, I have some bandage medicine in my room."
Song Baiyi took Cheng Zhi into his room.
As soon as he opened the door, he glanced at the wall and saw the clock hanging on it.
It is now 12:20. In ten minutes, the trainees' dormitory will be closed.
This is an access control mechanism devised by the program team in order to ensure that the contestants get enough sleep so as to achieve the highest training efficiency the next day.
The contestants must return to the dormitory before 12:30, otherwise they will have to sleep in the practice room at night.
However, most trainees would return to the dormitory to rest on time at twelve o'clock, so this rule was mostly aimed at those who came back late like Cheng Zhi.
Looking at the time, Song Baiyi was shocked and turned around to take Cheng Zhi back.
"It's too late today. You won't be able to go back in ten minutes. I can take care of my injury myself, so you can go back and rest first..."
Hearing Song Baiyi suddenly drive people away, Cheng Zhi frowned slightly.
The next second, he tugged at the corner of Song Baiyi's clothes and stammered.
"Since... it's so late, if I go back, I will disturb others..."
"How about that?" Cheng Zhi's Adam's apple slid up and down, his eyes a little vague, "After I help you treat your wound..."
"I'm going to sleep here tonight?"
