Chapter 18 Chapter 18
The hot pot restaurant that Xiao Qinghe chose tastes really good.
Jing Chen ate and chatted: "Yesterday the program team asked us to choose the most beautiful and the most handsome in the class. Who did you vote for?"
The girls in the class are all very good-looking. Zhang Wanyue is bright and beautiful, Cao Ruoxi is sweet and cute, Xu Xingxiao is gentle and delicate, and Song Zhaoyan is fresh and refined. He Xianyu picked out the green onions in the small sauce dish one by one and replied: "I voted for Song Zhaoyan as the most beautiful. I think she is very elegant when dancing classical dance. I voted for you as the most handsome."
Jing Chen showed a satisfied smile and looked at Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai picked up the mutton and put it in He Xianyu's bowl. "The most beautiful one, I vote for Xianyu."
He Xianyu was surprised and said, "I'm a man!"
Jiang Bai: "Oh."
He Xianyu pondered for a moment. As a professional idol who had completed full marks in the Men's Morality Academy, Jiang Bai probably did this to avoid suspicion. Imagine if a male idol openly said that a certain girl was the prettiest, it would be as much of a blow to his fans as a collapse of their reputation.
He threw the topic back to Jingchen: "You voted for Ruoxi, right?"
Jing Chen nodded, "But Ruoxi and I are good friends. She is Xie Weizhi's wife fan. Being an actor is her side job, and chasing stars is her main job."
He Xianyu filled Jingchen's glass of coconut milk, "Then isn't she a fan of Teacher Xiao's rival?"
In order to maintain the activity of the fan circle, each traffic has a rival. Xie Weizhi's rival is Xiao Qinghe. Fans of both sides are fighting to the death online. He Xianyu can imagine that when Cao Ruoxi saw that her class teacher was Xiao Qinghe, she probably ate a hundred packets of pickled fish powder.
"Ruoxi should be a fan of Tianwei." Jingchen put shrimp paste into the hot pot.
He Xianyu suddenly remembered a plot in the book. Cao Ruoxi was found to have a second Weibo account by the powerful Hedinghong sister. It turned out that she was a Zuan girl on the Internet, and she even DISSed Xiao Qinghe. Due to the great pressure from public opinion (Hedinghong sister will scold you to the point of doubting your life), Cao Ruoxi apologized for this and withdrew from the variety show recording, and has never recovered from the entertainment industry since then.
He Xianyu felt that Cao Ruoxi's crime was not punishable by death. He found Cao Ruoxi in the class WeChat group and sent her a message: [Now, immediately, clear your Weibo account! When I just left the school gate, I heard Sister Hedinghong said that they found out that you are a fan of Xie Weizhi, and they are going to find your account to see if you have said anything disrespectful to Xiao Qinghe. If you have, you will quit the circle! ]
Xizhi: [Fuck! How did they know? ]
Fish: [You should know better than anyone how good they are at digging up dirt.]
Xizhi: [Fuck! ]
Fish: [There is no need to ruin your bright future for a momentary dispute among fans. ]
Xizhi: [I don’t actually hate Mr. Xiao, I just hate his fans. ]
There is a saying that goes, the fans’ actions are the responsibility of the person who caused them. Every friction, big or small, in the fan circle will inevitably be blamed on the person who caused it.
Not long after, He Xianyu received a message from Cao Ruoxi.
Xizhi: [I have cancelled my account. Brother Xianyu, I am so grateful for your kindness. If you need your sister Ruoxi in the future, please feel free to ask.]
Jingchen went to the front desk to pay the bill and was told that their bill had already been paid by Xiao Qinghe.
The three of them discussed it and decided that they should express their gratitude to Xiao Qinghe. Finally, He Xianyu represented them and sent a message to Xiao Qinghe's work WeChat account: [Thank you Mr. Xiao for the hospitality. We all enjoyed the meal very much [Hey ha] [Rose]]
He Xianyu thought that this message would fall on deaf ears, but unexpectedly, he received a reply very soon.
Xiao Qinghe: [You’re welcome [smile]]
After eating and drinking, the three decided to go to the bookstore.
He Xianyu asked: "Do you know the four major traffic types?"
Jing Chen answered quickly: "Xiao Qinghe, Xie Weizhi, Ji Yun, Xiao Wang."
“NoNoNo.” He Xianyu shook her index finger. “Wang Houxiong, Qu Yixian, Xue Jinxing, and Rong Deji. They are the four most popular people in the teaching auxiliary industry, making every college entrance examination candidate love and hate them.”
He Xianyu bought a set of test questions for research.
Jiang Bai selected a book of composition materials.
Jing Chen listened to He Xianyu and bought a copybook to improve his poor handwriting.
There is a large video game arcade near the bookstore. Jing Chen was in a playful mood and went to the front desk to exchange 100 game coins. He said to He Xianyu: "Xiaoyu, which doll do you like? I'll catch it for you. I'm very good at catching dolls."
He Xianyu pointed at a Brown Bear.
10 game coins have passed——
20 game coins have passed——
30 game coins have passed——
Jing Chen gave an awkward but polite smile, "My hands aren't feeling very good today."
He Xianyu picked up the coin and put it into the claw machine. He carefully observed the position of the doll and the angle of the claw, slowly swung the joystick to control the movement of the claw, and then pressed the "Confirm" button.
Brown Bear moved steadily toward the exit and fell into the doll frame.
He Xianyu took out Brown Bear and repeated Jing Chen's words to him: "Which doll do you like? I'll catch it for you."
Jing Chen offered his knees, "Xiao Yu, how did you do it so well?"
"I used to like catching dolls when I was bored, and I got it from practice." In his previous life, He Xianyu was in poor health. While others went to college, he was either in the hospital for treatment or recuperating at home. When he was in good health, he would go to the nearby amusement park to catch dolls to pass the time.
Next to the claw machine is the dance machine.
He Xianyu threw the remaining coins in, "Jiang Bai, can you dance with me?"
Jiang Bai asked: "Do you want to see it?"
He Xianyu nodded.
Jiang Bai didn't say much and stood on the dance machine.
The randomly selected song was Xiao Wang’s electronic music work “flow in”.
At first the melody was slow. Jiang Bai tapped his head and feet to the rhythm, looking very relaxed. Then the drum beats came in, and the rhythm gradually became faster. Jiang Bai danced to the rhythmic melody.
The pedals of the dance machine are flashing, and a young man with great dancing talent is dancing on it, freely displaying his youth.
After "Flow In" ended, Jiang Bai switched to two-player mode and took He Xianyu's hand to the dance machine.
I randomly got a high-energy girl group dance song.
He Xianyu hadn't played the dance machine for a long time, so her moves were very unfamiliar, but fortunately she had a relaxed personality and was not shy at all when dancing the girl group dance, jumping up and down to the cheerful music.
Jiang Bai, who was so charming in the last song, danced very perfunctorily this time.
The girl group dance mainly combines urban, jazz, modern, Latin and even national standard dance. It is not difficult for Jiang Bai, who started learning dance at the age of four and is familiar with many types of dance. However, as a cool boy, Jiang Bai resists the girl group dance from both his body and mind.
A group of female college students stopped to watch, taking photos and sending messages in the group to ask their friends to come over and see the handsome guy. Although both of them were wearing baseball caps and masks, their figures showed that they were definitely good-looking.
The girls started to make a noise.
"Little brother in black, learn from the little brother in white!"
"Yeah, don't be shy!"
"Roll it up! Roll it up quickly!"
"Ahhh, the white clothes are so cute! Is he my son?"
"Get lost! How can you have a son if you don't even have a husband? He's my son!"
The music changed again, it was a popular Korean couple dance song Trouble Maker.
The girls laughed wildly.
With one clear whistle after another, the two of them swayed their bodies to the music.
"Black clothes are in style!"
"The little brother in white clothes consciously dances in the female position!"
"The wave of the guy in black is so sexy, he is definitely a master of dancing."
"Juejuezi!"
The girls reacted on the spot until Jiang Bai put one hand on He Xianyu's shoulder and the other on his waist, and sparks flew between the two of them instantly.
“Aaaaaaaaaaa—”
The girls started screaming wildly.
Jiang Bai, who was just idling in the previous song, danced with all his strength in this one. He is a very high-level dancer, and he shines with such a sexy dance. Even if he is just wearing an ordinary sweatshirt and jeans, he can still firmly attract the attention of passers-by.
He Xianyu, who could barely cope with the previous song, made frequent mistakes this time.
Fortunately, Jiang Bai reacted very quickly on the spot and cleverly changed a few movements, shaking his head, turning his arms, and twisting his hips, cooperating with He Xianyu, and danced the entire song amid the enthusiastic whistles and cheers of the audience.
The two danced with great pleasure. On the way back to school, He Xianyu was still recalling the exhilarating feeling when dancing with Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai's nickname is "Human Metronome" and anyone who dances with him will become his backup dancer.
Usually people choose to avoid his edge.
But He Xianyu was willing to be Jiang Bai's foil. Being able to dance with a strong man like Jiang Bai, who was born for the stage, made He Xianyu feel the blood in his body jump with joy.
Only by competing with the strong can you become stronger.
The three of them came to the playground.
Jingchen received a call from his mother and sat on the swing to chat with her about recent developments.
Jiang Bai and He Xianyu are walking on the red track.
A silver moon cast a frosty light on Jiang Bai's white face, making him look even colder and more indifferent. His lips were naturally pale, but the cinnabar mole under the right corner of his eye gave his plain features some color and a bit of aggression.
It was quiet and deserted.
Jiang Bai asked the question that had been stuck in his mind for a long time: "Why did the Storm Boys Group disband?"
He Xianyu didn't expect him to ask this question, and said with a smile: "It's too vague. The company can't always do charity."
Jiang Bai had a hunch that He Xianyu wasn't telling him the truth, so he asked again, "Why did you fight with Xu Yining?"
The video that went viral on the Internet was actually cut off. He Xianyu and his best friend Xu Yining had an argument for some reason. To be more precise, He Xianyu was beating Xu Yining unilaterally. Jiang Bai tried to pull He Xianyu away, but was pushed to the ground by the furious He Xianyu.
He Xianyu didn't want to dirty Jiang Bai's ears, so he continued to practice Tai Chi: "I'm just in a bad mood."
Xu Yining was three years older than the original owner. The original owner regarded him as his brother and best friend, sharing all his joys and sorrows with him. Until one night, he returned to the dormitory temporarily and ran into his godfather Zheng Yi and Xu Yining entangled on the sofa.
At that moment, the young boy's world collapsed.
Jiang Bai opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself. After a long silence, he bit his lower lip and finally said, "Wei Zhuochen said that you and Xu Yining were jealous of each other for Zheng Yi. In the end, he won and you lost."
Judging from the subsequent developments between the two, Wei Zhuochen's statement seemed somewhat credible. He Xianyu shook his head, "Do you believe what that villain Wei Zhuochen said? But it is true that I offended Zheng Yi and broke off my friendship with Xu Yining."
"Is the you standing in front of me real too?" Jiang Bai blurted out this question without thinking. He didn't know if it was because they hadn't seen each other for three years, but He Xianyu had changed so much. He was completely different from the little master who was always throwing tantrums in his memory. The old He Xianyu wouldn't want to be friends with him, wouldn't be afraid that he wasn't full so she would pick up chicken legs for him, and wouldn't often sneak glances at him.
He Xianyu was stunned for a moment, then said something absurd in a serious tone: "You figured it out. Let me tell you a secret. I actually traveled from another world. The world you live in is actually a book."
Jiang Bai was speechless to him and himself, and continued with his words: "Then why did you want to travel through the book?"
"I said it before, because I want to see you." He Xianyu looked at Jiang Bai, his eyes shining like stars.
At that moment, Jiang Bai heard the sound of his own heart beating wildly.
Jiang Bai was called away by his agent. When He Xianyu went back to find Jing Chen, she saw him holding Brown Bear, looking very worried.
"Do you want to chat?" He Xianyu sat on the swing next to him.
Jing Chen hesitated for a long time and said, "I have a friend whose parents are divorced, but they kept it a secret from him. In fact, my friend knew about it a long time ago, but he pretended not to know. It's just that he has to act with his parents, which is very tiring."
He Xianyu knew that friend was Jing Chen himself, and asked: "Then why didn't your friend break the paper?"
Jing Chen used his toes to draw circles on the ground in a clockwise direction, then in the opposite direction, repeating this many times. He raised his foot and stepped down hard to compact the soil. "If it's really broken, this family will be gone. He wants to live with his parents forever and doesn't want to be separated."
"Buddhism believes that there are eight kinds of suffering in life, one of which is 'love and separation'. Do you want to hear my friend's story?" A gust of cold wind blew, and He Xianyu tightened his coat and continued, "My friend was diagnosed with a brain tumor when he was at the peak of his life. He was afraid of death and separation from his family, and he was worried all day long. During that time, the atmosphere at home was so terrible that it was almost suffocating. Later, he thought to himself, if this is a destined separation, why not enjoy the process?"
Jing Chen was puzzled: "Enjoy it?"
"Cherish the last time you spend together, and then say goodbye properly. Everyone has a path to walk alone, and my friend's path is 'death farewell'. Your friend is luckier than my friend, at least he can see his family at any time." He Xianyu looked at Jing Chen and slowly said, "Living in lies is too tiring. If the result cannot be changed, it is better to let go as soon as possible. If I were your friend, I would talk things out, let myself go, and never waste time."
Jing Chen stood up. He Xianyu asked him where he was going. He replied with two words: "Home."
