Pinellia ternata
"You may not believe it, but I..."
Shi Buwen was interrupted by Shang Yu before he could finish his words.
"I believe it." As soon as Shi Buwen opened his mouth, he knew what Shi Buwen would say next.
Shi Buwen: “…”
Looking at the phone that was not hung up, Shang Yu was puzzled: "Why are you still standing there? As the chief director of the program group, you should hang up the phone and tell Shen Xiu about this."
Instead of wasting time here with him.
He and Shen Xiu are teammates, and Shen Xiu is their captain. It would be inappropriate for anyone in the team to communicate with Shen Xiu about this matter.
The most suitable person is the program team themselves.
Shi Buwen volunteered to take charge of this matter, and now it seems that he did a good job. Shang Yu hopes that he will not take charge of it next time.
Beep beep beep...
Looking at the hung up call, Shang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
At this point in time, according to Shen Xiu's temperament, he should still be rolling without taking a rest. Shi Buwen could discuss it with Shen Xiu.
The idea of deciding the group name during the live broadcast was Shi Buwen's own idea. Since leaving the training camp, among the nine members of the entire team, only Chen Xiu was the most popular, while the popularity of the other members dropped rapidly.
Putting aside the fact that Chen Xiu doesn't care about popularity at all, both he and Song Chengwang don't care at all whether they are popular after their debut.
Because Shen Xiu knows everything and has everything, it doesn't matter what he does.
He and Song Chengwang each had their own escape routes.
But it’s different for other people. If they no longer appear in the public eye, their popularity will drop faster.
Answering the phone, especially from someone you are a little afraid of, is too energy-consuming for people with social anxiety.
Chen Xiu ended the call with Shi Buwen and decided to turn off the phone without hesitation to recuperate.
I would run to the study, watch a classic old movie, and write a 3,000-word analysis to relieve my nervousness.
When Chen Xiu came out of the study, his hair was completely dry without the need for a hair dryer.
The energy consumed by answering the phone was all replenished through the review. Shen Xiu lay on the gray sheets, covered with a thin quilt of the same style, and fell asleep in a second.
Professor Jiang, who had secretly stayed up late at night to watch the treasure appraisal live broadcast without telling his children, saw an email alert pop up on the top of his mobile phone screen. Curious, he switched over to check, and when he saw who the sender was, his eyes twitched slightly.
It's already 1:30 in the morning. Which good kid doesn't stay up late at night to write a movie review and hand it in to the teacher as homework? !
Looking at the several emails in his mailbox that were all from Shen Xiu, Professor Jiang felt ridiculous for having mistakenly believed that Shen Xiu would be obsessed with being an idol.
This way, there's no point in being obsessed with being an idol at all!
If someone dared to come up to her in the future and say that Shen Xiu didn't study hard, didn't do his job properly and only wanted to make money in the entertainment industry, she wouldn't even bother to sneer.
After hanging up Shang Yu's phone, Shi Buwen called Shen Xiu without stopping.
But I was prompted that the other party had turned off the phone.
Shi Buwen didn't care. He thought that Shen Xiu's phone was probably out of battery and would turn on again after it was fully charged. He played games while waiting for Shen Xiu to turn on his phone.
However......
Every time Shi Buwen finished a game, he would call Shen Xiu's cell phone. This situation continued until twelve o'clock in the evening, and Shi Buwen was unable to get through to Shen Xiu.
"It's the same if you ask me tomorrow morning."
After Shi Buwen finished talking to himself, he was not worried at all about not being able to contact Chen Xiu. He threw his phone on the bedside table and fell asleep in a second.
The next day.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Shen Xiu turned on his phone, put on the headphones that are essential for social phobia running, played the article, blocked out all external sounds, eliminated any possibility of social interaction, put the phone in his pocket, and went out for a run on time.
At half past seven, Shen Xiu, who was jogging by the river wearing a baseball cap, noticed the vibration of his cell phone in his pocket and the sound of reading in his headphones stopped. His body froze instantly and he stopped and stood by the river.
In the few seconds it took him to take his phone out of his pocket to see who was calling, Shen Xiu's heart was in his throat.
Seeing that the caller ID was Xiang Yueting, Shen Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Xiu, who was already 50% immune to Xiang Yueting, answered the phone.
The next second, Xiang Yueting's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone -
"Chen Xiu, where are you?"
"Where is your home?"
"We are all at Director Shi's house now, waiting for him to wash up."
"Director Shi asked us to call you and discuss going to your house to live stream and discuss the group name. Is that okay?"
"If you agree, you can send us your location and we will come to find you now."
Although they were used to Xiang Yueting's frequency of speaking, when Xiang Yueting spoke so many words to Shen Xiu in one breath, it still attracted the attention of other people in the room.
Xiang Yueting... is really good at talking, and he is not afraid of being rejected by Shen Xiu at all, he speaks so happily!
Xiang Yueting's words, like pouring beans, hit Shen Xiu with a familiar feeling of dizziness due to lack of oxygen in the brain. After a few seconds, Shen Xiu moved his dry throat and answered one by one.
"I'm at the riverside."
"I'm renting a house in Yulin Banxia temporarily."
"Group name?" After answering this, Shen Xiu was a little confused.
If his memory is correct, shouldn't the group name be announced together with the group album? Now discussing it through live broadcast, does it mean that they want to announce the group name in advance?
No......
Chen Xiu quickly recalled the fantastic decision made by the program team during the training camp, and rejected his own idea.
Judging from the program team's style of doing things, it shouldn't be that simple.
After Xiang Yueting got through the call, he kept the speakerphone on, so the eight people in the room could hear Shen Xiu's voice.
After hearing Shen Xiu's indifferent answer, when it came to discussing the issue of going to Shen Xiu's house for live broadcast, Shen Xiu suddenly fell silent.
Shen Xiu suddenly fell silent. Was this a rejection?
The hands-free mode was on, and none of them spoke. They could only communicate silently with their eye contact.
According to Shang Yu, Chen Xiu has never been to the villa since he left the training camp. Maybe too many people there know about it, so Chen Xiu doesn't want to go.
The place where Chen Xiu lives now is definitely more permanent than the previous villa. According to Chen Xiu's strong sense of territory, it is normal that he doesn't want anyone to go there.
This sudden silence just proves this point.
Although the silence was short, the suffocating silence made the atmosphere awkward.
Among all the people here, everyone still assumed that Xiang Yueting was the one who was most familiar with Shen Xiu, and their eyes couldn't help but fall on Xiang Yueting.
Xiang Yueting was waiting for Shen Xiu's answer seriously. Before Shen Xiu answered, he met the gazes of his seven friends and blinked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Seven people: "......"
Sometimes, being slow has its advantages.
For example, they were almost suffocated by Shen Xiu's silence, and Xiang Yueting was still daydreaming.
Hearing Xiang Yueting's voice, Shen Xiu came back to his senses from speculating on the program crew's intentions.
Thinking that Xiang Yueting was impatient and was urging him, he quickly replied, "Okay."
The system said that the house was rented to him, and he could do whatever he wanted, and bring his friends home to play for the first time...
Thinking of this, Shen Xiu felt a little anxious but also a little expectant: "I'll send you the location right away."
"Okay! I'll wait for you to locate me!"
Even through the headphones, Shen Xiu could feel the joy in Xiang Yueting's voice and imagine the corners of Xiang Yueting's mouth that were always upturned when he spoke.
Xiang Yueting ended the call, and said in a slightly raised tone: "Chen Xiu agreed~"
Xia Wenhao snorted: "I'm on speakerphone, I can hear it."
Ning Sinian sighed: "No matter how many times I have seen this, you are really brave."
Zhuang Yi nodded in agreement: "To be honest, during those few seconds when Shen Xiu was silent, I was ready to be rejected by Shen Xiu, but Shen Xiu actually agreed! It was a pleasant surprise."
Song Chengwang couldn't help but join the discussion: "I guess at that time, Shen Xiu must have been hesitant, hesitating whether to let us go. After careful consideration, Shen Xiu still agreed to let us go. This once again shows that Shen Xiu values us very much."
After saying this, Song Chengwang subconsciously looked at Mu Zhenchu.
Meaning: "So, we are all brothers."
When Mu Zhenchu met Song Chengwang's gaze, he looked away somewhat unnaturally.
Having said that, he and everyone else noticed a bit too much, and he was really embarrassed to complain.
Shang Yu kicked Song Chengwang under the table. Not everyone can be as free and easy as Song Chengwang, Xia Wenhao and Xiang Yueting.
He had experience in this matter, and had to come out of his defensive shell. He couldn't be forced, so he had to rely on his own initiative.
Shang Yu changed the subject and smiled as he shouted to Shi Buwen who was in the bathroom, "Director Shi, have you dithered enough? If not, we can go over there first and you can come over slowly."
Shi Buwen's muffled voice came from inside as he brushed his teeth: "Soon..."
Xiang Yueting whispered to Shang Yu: "If you talk to the chief director like this, the chief director will be very good at making trouble. You are risking your life!"
Song Chengwang's mouth twitched: "Xiang Yueting, I find that your eyes seem to be really different from ours."
Ever since Shang Yu brought them into Shi Buwen's house unimpeded, one could guess with one's toes that this was not the first time Shang Yu came here and that his relationship with Shi Buwen was not simple.
Besides, this is Shang Yu, a man with more cunning than him and Xiang Yueting combined. It's not certain who will bully whom!
Xiang Yueting was speechless: "I hate you people who speak incomprehensibly. I will wait for Shen Xiu to locate you and will not talk to you anymore."
After saying that, Xiang Yueting stared at his mobile phone.
Chen Xiu hung up the phone, paused for a few seconds, and sent the location to Xiang Yueting...
"Here I am!" The next second after receiving Chen Xiu's location, Xiang Yueting clicked on it in surprise: "Let me see where Chen Xiu lives!"
Shang Yu raised his hand and rubbed his forehead: "Yu Lin Banxia."
Didn't we say all this on the phone? Not only does Xiang Yueting's eyesight seem to be bad, his hearing also seems to be not so good.
As Shang Yu finished speaking, he heard Xiang Yueting's puzzled voice.
"Eh? Riverside?"
Xiang Yueting looked at Shang Yu: "It's not the Yu Lin Banxia you mentioned."
At the same time, after Chen Xiufa asked Yueting about his location, his mind became a little hot, and he couldn't wait to open his phone and search on the Internet -
How can you avoid embarrassment on both sides when you bring a friend home for the first time?
After reading the answers given by netizens, Shen Xiu's heated brain gradually cooled down.
Recalling the conversation with Xiang Yueting just now, he is now at the riverside, a long distance away from Yu Lin Banxia.
Xiang Yueting and the others couldn't come here and then go back with him. It would be weird for him to just stand here waiting like an idiot.
Chen Xiu opened WeChat, selected Yu Lin Banxia’s location and sent it.
Chen Xiu: I’ll wait for you.
After sending it, Shen Xiu put the phone back in his pocket, turned around, and ran back...
Xiang Yueting looked at the next two messages that came in on the chat interface, blushed and muttered to himself: "It's really Yu Lin Banxia."
Shang Yu sighed and explained, "Think carefully about what you asked Shen Xiu. If you asked where Shen Xiu was now, Shen Xiu would of course send you his current location. But we are not going to where Shen Xiu is now, but where Shen Xiu lives. Of course, he would send you his address as well."
Xiang Yueting: "...I understand. I didn't think that much when I asked."
The clown is actually himself!
A lot of it was good. Xiang Yueting simply couldn't stop talking once he started. As for what he said specifically, I'm sorry, he said so much that he couldn't even remember.
After listening to the entire call, the few people had only the same thought in their minds - Chen Xiu really dotes on Xiang Yueting, and he would go along with this!
Chen Xiu first sent Xiang Yueting his current location, and then sent them the positioning method they really needed. Isn’t this order of events clear enough? !
Fortunately, Chen Xiu's last sentence "I'll wait for you" included the word "you".
This shows that they still have a place in Shen Xiu's heart. Although Shen Xiu favors Xiang Yue Ting, he has not forgotten them!
Relieved!
After all, if you think about it carefully, who can really bother with Xiang Yueting?
While everyone was comforting themselves, Xiang Yueting had already clicked on the two locations to check and exclaimed, "So far?!"
"Why did Shen Xiu run so far so early in the morning?"
Shang Yu leaned on the sofa, too lazy to even smile, and said weakly: "Is it possible that Shen Xiu is jogging in the morning?"
"Run so far?! As expected of Chen Xiu, you'll just have to roll me to death!" Xiang Yueting exclaimed.
Although the others didn't say anything, they had the same idea as Xiang Yueting.
Everyone recalled Shen Xiu's physical condition during the training camp and his robotic state that seemed to never get tired. Now everything was explained.
Running like this every morning, perfect body lines and abdominal muscles are hard to come by.
Shi Buwen finally came out of the bathroom and asked curiously while applying lotion on his face, "Are you done?"
Xiang Yueting raised his hand: "Done!"
Shi Buwen stretched out his hand and clapped hands with Xiang Yueting: "Great!"
Business metaphor: "......"
This morning he drove to pick up the seven people, and Shi Buwen told them that Chen Xiu had turned off his phone yesterday and did not answer his call.
Xiang Yueting took the initiative to call Shen Xiu to discuss the matter without saying a word, and he did it so quickly that he didn't have time to stop him.
As for Shi Buwen, he handed the task to Xiang Yueting without hesitation, and rushed into the bathroom with his messy hair.
He didn't consider at all that this matter would be a bit bad for Xiang Yueting.
Xiang Yueting was the same. He didn't think that this was something he shouldn't do.
Judging from Xiang Yueting and Shi Buwen's IQ, it was obvious that neither of them had thought about the question of "suitability".
At this moment, looking at the two people high-fiving each other, Shang Yu had only one thought in his mind -
Sure enough, where there is a sleeping dragon, there must be a phoenix chick.
The zombies opened their brains and spit in disappointment.
Looking at Xiang Yueting who was naturally high-fiving the chief director, the other six people said: "......"
It has been confirmed that Xiang Yueting's level is no longer that of a socially weak person. He has completely evolved into the category of a socially phobic person. Xiang Yueting is none other than a social terrorist!
You know, except for Shang Yu and Song Chengwang, everyone here is meeting the chief director for the first time today.
Moreover, this is not only the chief director, but also Shi Buwen, the idol of the boy group who was once rumored to have committed suicide due to depression caused by being scolded!
Ever since the moment they saw Shi Buwen, they were trembling with fear and dared not speak carelessly.
Xiang Yueting—he is really brave!
Shi Buwen changed his clothes and came out. The nine people left Shi's house and got into the business car that Shang Yu had the driver drive over.
Shang Yu was the last one to get on the bus and said to the driver, "Let's go to Yulin Banxia."
"Okay, Mr. Shang."
The black business car started, and there was silence in the car for a while, then a faint voice was heard.
"Is it... that Yu Lin Ban Xia?"
Hearing Jiang Yanxi's voice, Song Chengwang leaned back in his chair and nodded lazily: "Yes."
Zhuang Yi took a breath and said, "Shen Xiu's home is either a manor-style villa or Yulin Banxia. I have already said the word envy."
Xiang Yueting scratched his head: "Chen Xiu said he was renting it, not his home."
Xia Wenhao looked at Xiang Yueting with a loving look: "There is an honest man here."
Song Chengwang smiled, took out an ice cream from the small refrigerator in the car and suddenly put it into Xiang Yueting's collar: "What are you waiting for? Bully him!"
Xiang Yueting is really a fool who still believes in Shen Xiu's jokes!
At eight o'clock, when he was about to arrive at the gate of the community, Shen Xiu put on a mask, slowed down his pace, and finally stood under a big tree not far from the gate of the community waiting for someone.
In order to ignore the sight of people around him as much as possible, Shen Xiu listened to the reading of the text coming from the earphone in his left ear while memorizing it.
The two security guards at the security booth during the day were still the same ones that Chen Xiu had seen the first time. Since Chen Xiu moved in here, the security guards often saw him go out for a run at seven in the morning, come back with things and go out again, and come back in the afternoon.
Very regular.
Although they still couldn't see Shen Xiu's face clearly, they would not make a mistake because of his height and the aura that seemed to have a cooling effect just by standing there.
After returning from running, Chen Xiu did not enter the community, but stood under a big tree not far away, wearing headphones. The security guards couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
The security guards soon discovered that they were not the only ones looking at Shen Xiu. Many passers-by kept their eyes on Shen Xiu, and some even secretly took photos with their mobile phones.
Shen Xiu, immersed in the ocean of knowledge, had his eyes blank and knew nothing about it.
Sizzle...
There was a sharp brake sound.
The harsh sound of brakes kicked Shen Xiu out of the ocean of knowledge.
Shen Xiu raised his head slightly and saw a black car parked not far from him.
Thinking of the brake sound he had just heard, Shen Xiu frowned even deeper, and couldn't help but look at the black car a few more times.
Duan Mingfei was sitting in the back seat without a seat belt and was putting a mask on his face. The sudden brakes caused his body to lean forward and hit the back of the seat in front of him.
"hiss......"
Duan Mingfei covered his head in pain and yelled a barrage of curse words at the assistant who was driving in front of him.
At the end, he added: "Can you drive?"
Xiao Gong felt aggrieved. He said that they were in the city and could not drive too fast. However, Duan Mingfei kept urging him from behind. He was so anxious that he almost collided with the car in front.
Fortunately, I braked in time and reached my destination, and turned to the empty space here.
Besides, if you don’t wear a seat belt, who will feel pain?
Xiao Gong rolled his eyes in his heart, but he said timidly: "I'm sorry, Brother Ming, I really didn't mean it, I'm sorry..."
"unlucky!"
If he hadn't been urged, Duan Mingfei would have cursed enough before leaving.
After replying to the boss, Duan Mingfei put on his sunglasses, mask and cap, and said with a sullen face, "Open the door."
Xiao Gong: "Okay, Brother Ming."
As soon as the assistant got out of the car, he saw a man standing under a big tree about ten steps away from them. He was wearing a black T-shirt and his face was fully armed so that his face could not be seen.
Even though his face was covered, his temperament was so superior that Xiao Gong, who had been with Duan Mingfei and had seen many artists, couldn't help but look sideways.
With this height and temperament, how can it be so eye-catching...
Noticing the gaze, Shen Xiu thought that he was caught by the owner when he looked at the car in confusion, so he raised his hand to push down the brim of his baseball cap and lowered his eyes nervously.
Noticing the person under the tree moved, Xiao Gong nervously lowered his head, recalled his own affairs, hurried to the car door, opened it, and let Duan Mingfei get out.
The car door opened, and Duan Mingfei got out of the car, typing on his cell phone in his hand.
He quickly said to Xiao Gong: "Come pick me up tomorrow morning."
Xiao Gong replied tremblingly: "Okay."
Xiao Gong was really afraid of Duan Mingfei. After Duan Mingfei got off the car, he got back into the car without stopping for a second and drove away.
The car drove out for a few seconds and encountered a red-blue light. While waiting for the red light, Xiao Gong recalled the man he saw when he sent Duan Mingfei to the gate of Yulin Banxia, and exclaimed in shock: "That height and temperament, Shen Xiu?!"
Thinking of the past between Duan Mingfei and Shen Xiu, if Duan Mingfei wanted to enter the Yulin Banxia Community, he would definitely pass by Shen Xiu.
Didn't Chen Xiu just see Duan Mingfei... Thinking of that scene, Xiao Gong's problem of feeling embarrassed for others started to come back, and his toes couldn't help but start scratching the soles of his shoes.
It was impossible for him to go back and tell Duan Mingfei. In order to repay Duan Mingfei's insults just now, he could only pray that Duan Mingfei would fight against Shen Xiu like this...
After Duan Mingfei got off the car, he didn't even look at the road because he had been here so many times. He just walked and typed with his head down.
Typing is not enough, Duan Mingfei raised the phone to his mouth and said: "I'll be there soon~"
After recording the voice, Duan Mingfei listened to it himself, confirmed that there was no problem, and sent it with a satisfied smile under the mask.
Three steps away from him, Shen Xiu heard "We'll be there soon~" twice in succession and couldn't help but look sideways.
As Shen Xiu looked sideways, he finally understood why everyone liked to listen to gossip and eat melons during the training camp.
I can’t help it, I just can’t help it!
After Duan Mingfei sent the message, he received a reply soon.
"Okay baby~"
Listening to the bubbling sound coming from the receiver, Duan Mingfei frowned in disgust, paused for a moment, and silently said to himself, "Money is hard to earn, shit is hard to eat, he can't miss this opportunity", while typing continuously.
After typing two words and sending them, Duan Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief, dropped his hand holding the phone, and finally looked up at the road.
The moment Duan Mingfei looked up at the road, he was caught off guard by the sight of Shen Xiu, who was listening to gossip and frowning because of the bubbling sound...
good evening!
