Chapter 060

Yan Xi felt that Zhou Yanci and Zhou Qingyu were very similar.

Zhou Qingyu said she wanted to hold a concert, so she held the concert that night. Zhou Yanci said she wanted to see snow, so she went to see the snow now.

But Country H is in the Northern Hemisphere and it is summer now, so if you want to see snow you have to go to the Southern Hemisphere.

Even if you take a private plane to the Southern Hemisphere, it will take more than ten hours.

Yan Xi said, "No, the show hasn't ended yet. If I run away now, Qingqing will be angry."

Zhou Yanci raised his hand and looked at the time. "It's only five o'clock now. We're still in time."

He looked at Yan Xi and said, "I'll send you back before today."

——

Two and a half hours later, Yan Xi and Zhou Yanci arrived at Yunbai Mountain.

We first took a private plane and then changed to a helicopter to reach the top of Tianchi Mountain.

In the middle of summer in July, the top of Yunbai Mountain is covered with white snow that never melts all year round. When night falls, the sky is as black as ink, and the moonlight shines on the snow, creating a sparkling light that is like countless shining diamonds.

Yan Xi put on a thick down jacket and snow boots, and stepped on the soft snow.

She still felt unreal.

Two and a half hours ago, she was wearing a halter dress and eating ice cream on the streets of a cold city. In the blink of an eye, the world has turned into winter?

Zhou Yanci, wearing a black leather jacket, stood lazily beside her.

The bare branches of the mountain birch trees next to me were covered with silver frost, which fell down in the wind like snow in winter.

"The altitude here is high, so the snow won't melt even in the summer," Zhou Yanci said. "But it's still not as good as the snow in winter."

“It’s pretty nice!”

Yan Xi never thought that she could see snow in the summer. She felt like she was entering a fairy tale world.

Assistant Sun walked in front of the two people and extended his hand to greet them, "Mr. Zhou, Yan Xi, there is a wishing tree in front. You can make a wish. Do you want to write a wish and sign it?"

Yan Xi stretched out her hand, "Yes!"

Yan Xi is extremely enthusiastic about this kind of activity. It’s not that she believes in it that much, but when she is in the situation, she chooses to believe and feels more involved.

Just like when you enter a haunted house, you know that the ghosts in the haunted house are all real people, but screaming along with other players based on the environment is very relaxing and fun.

The wishing tree was full of red wish notes. The heavy snow had pressed down some of the branches, but Yan Xi could still see some of the wishes written by some people.

“Get rich overnight!”

"I was successfully admitted to graduate school!"

"I hope my family is healthy, safe and happy."

"Mr. Zhou, are you writing?"

Yan Xi took two wish tickets from Sun Te's assistant and gave one to Zhou Yanci.

Zhou Yanci took the wish card. He had no wishes. He had worked hard to get what he wanted since he was a child. Material things were not scarce for him, and study and career were not difficult for him, so his life had been plain and simple for the past twenty years.

Holding the wish slip, Zhou Yanci hesitated to write, and finally put the wish slip in his pocket.

Yan Xi bit the tip of the pen and went to Special Assistant Sun's side. "Special Assistant Sun, what are you writing?"

Assistant Sun unfolded his wish list, [Promotion! Salary increase!]

"Hahaha!" Yan Xi laughed and whispered, "I think it would be more useful if you hang this wish sign on Mr. Zhou!"

Assistant Sun whispered back, "Do you think I don't want to?"

Yan Xi asked Assistant Sun for another wish list, one for Zhou Qingyu and the other for Zhou Yanci.

Afterwards, she hung the wish slip on the wishing tree.

Unfortunately, she was not tall enough, so Yan Xi could only jump and grab the branches of the birch tree.

Zhou Yanci stood behind Yan Xi and grabbed the branch with a light hook.

He reached out to Yan Xi, "Let me hang up."

"OK!"

Yan Xi gave both wish cards to Zhou Yanci. Zhou Yanci didn't look at them intentionally, but he still caught a glimpse of the words on them with his peripheral vision.

One said [I wish you happiness forever and a carefree young lady forever! ]

Another one reads [I hope Mr. Zhou lives a long and healthy life! ]

The tiny wish sticks are like rootless duckweed, hanging on the branches and blending into the countless wish sticks. When the breeze blows, the wish sticks that have been filled up sway along with them.

Zhou Yanci looked up and saw the wish sign Yan Xi wrote to him, and smiled silently.

Special Assistant Sun did not disturb the two men. After completing the mission, he quietly returned to the helicopter.

Yan Xi gradually came back to her senses from her excitement, and her mind became clear. "By the way, Mr. Zhou, why did you suddenly come to Hancheng and Yunbai Mountain? Do you have work?"

Zhou Yanci looked at Yan Xi.

Three hours have passed and the girl only thought of this now.

He didn't say anything, just looked at Yan Xi quietly.

Yan Xi felt a little uncomfortable when Zhou Yanci looked at her. The man's gaze was not as indifferent as before, but full of aggressiveness, which made her cheeks blush.

Yan Xi touched the tip of her nose awkwardly, "You're not doing this for me, are you?"

Zhou Yanci: "Don't you want to see the snow?"

"Me?" Yan Xi smiled, "How could I..."

In a flash, Yan Xi recalled the conversation she had with Cheng Xun in the afternoon.

"Want to see snow?"

"yes!"

"That's going to have to wait until winter. The snow in Hancheng is very beautiful in winter."

"Why isn't it winter now?"

Yan Xi's eyes widened gradually, and her speech became incoherent, "So, you didn't come to Hancheng for work, nor did you come to Yunbai Mountain for work..."

A breeze blew, and the accumulated snow fell on Yan Xi's shoulders. Zhou Yanci approached Yan Xi and reached out to gently brush away the snow on her body.

"It's because of you."

These four short words made Yan Xi's heart beat faster.

Zhou Yanci was very close to her, and when Yan Xi stepped back, only the cold tree trunk was left behind her, with snow blocks on the treetops falling down again.

Zhou Yanci quickly stretched out his hand and blocked most of the snow for Yan Xi.

Yan Xi felt her heartbeat faster

Almost there, fingers clasped the tree trunk nervously.

Not only is he good-looking, but he was also so close to her and suddenly so gentle. Zhou Yanci was breaking the rules!

"Tongzi! Come out quickly!"

The system popped up: [What are you doing? ]

"Can't you be an MP3 player?"

[Of course you can. What song do you want me to play? "Ambiguous"? "Heartbeat"? Or "Little Love Song"? ]

"Play the Great Compassion Mantra!"

【？ ？ ？】

"I suspect Zhou Yanci is seducing me!"

A song of "Great Compassion Mantra" echoed in Yan Xi's mind, and the impact of Zhou Yanci's appearance instantly diminished a lot.

Yan Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

It was horrible, I almost fell.

Yan Xi looked at Zhou Yanci and said helplessly, "Boss Zhou, don't say such ambiguous words with your face, I might misunderstand you!"

Zhou Yanci frowned, "You don't like me?"

Yan Xi:!

"When did I like you?"

Zhou Yanci was completely stunned by this unhesitating and even matter-of-fact tone, and he didn't know what to say.

Yan Xi looked at Zhou Yanci's complicated expression and rolled her eyes.

"Wait... Tongzi, I was concerned about Zhou Yanci before, he wouldn't have misunderstood, right?"

【What do you think? 】

[A young girl, who texts him every day to ask about his well-being, waits for him to come home at night, and even learns finger techniques to give him massages! Any man would misunderstand this, right?]

[For someone like Zhou Yanci, if you think positively, you like him; if you think negatively, you are just a money-digging slut who wants to seduce him and marry into a wealthy family! ]

Yan Xi:!!!

"I swear to God, I waited for him just to stop him from staying up late. Massage... I used to give Madam Lin a massage, and it was also a gentle massage! Isn't this a sleep aid?"

The system teased, [But Zhou Yanci is a man. ]

[You treat him as a tool to increase your luck points. But he treats you as a woman! ]

Yan Xi: “…”

Yan Xi looked at Zhou Yanci again and her scalp went numb.

She hesitated, "I think... there may be a misunderstanding between us. You may not believe it, but the truth is, I am a very saintly person with overflowing love! I can't bear to see anyone waste their life... I think you work too hard, and I sincerely hope that you can be healthy and live a long life. I really have no other thoughts!"

Zhou Yanci's face turned extremely dark.

"No other ideas at all?"

"Of course not!" Yan Xi was extremely decisive.

She had heard Zhou Qingyu gossiping before, saying that a female star gave Zhou Yanci an aphrodisiac in order to marry into a wealthy family, and later Zhou Yanci sent her to Thailand to grow durian.

She doesn't want to grow durian because she doesn't have enough luck!

Zhou Yanci moved closer to Yan Xi, with a hint of longing in his voice.

"Even a little?"

Yan Xi's head shook like a wave drum, "No, no! Absolutely not!"

Zhou Yanci's breathing became heavier and he clenched his fingers.

Yan Xi was so frightened that she dared not speak a word. She instinctively took two steps back, trying to stay away from Zhou Yanci.

The snow on the ground turned into ice, her feet slipped, her balance was unstable, and she fell backwards.

"ah--"

Zhou Yanci immediately reached out to help her, but before he could touch Yan Xi, the back of Yan Xi's head hit the tree trunk. There was a dull sound, and the remaining snow on the tree trunk could no longer hold on and all fell down.

Along with the beautiful wish list, it also fell to the ground.

Yan Xi grimaced in pain and rubbed the back of her head in agony.

She opened her eyes and saw Zhou Yanci still in front of her, looking unsatisfactory, so she stood up straight quickly.

Yan Xi wailed in her heart, "The last sister I sent to plant durians at least drugged me! I didn't cheat her for money or sex! Zhou Yanci... won't do anything to me, right?"

【You lied! 】

The system is taking pleasure in the misfortune. [Where is the 200 million investment in Crazy?]

"That doesn't count!"

There was quite a lot of noise coming from the wishing tree. Assistant Sun on the helicopter heard the noise and ran over quickly.

"Mr. Zhou, what happened?"

Yan Xi bent over and ran to Assistant Sun's side.

"Well, well! It's getting late. Didn't we say we can go back to the villa tonight? Why don't we go back?"

Zhou Yanci didn't say anything, and Special Assistant Sun didn't dare to make a decision on his own.

Yan Xi's heart was scared to death, she was especially afraid that Zhou Yanci would think of her as a seductive bitch who seduced him and abandon her in Yunbai Mountain without any care.

This is no better than growing durian!

Damn it, why did she say she wanted to see snow today!

Zhou Yanci was silent for a while, "Send her back."

"yes."

Yan Xi followed Assistant Sun and left. Zhou Yanci did not go with them and still stood under the wishing tree. Yan Xi saw him seem to pick up something, but the distance between them gradually increased and she could not see clearly.

After getting into the helicopter, Special Assistant Sun ordered the captain to send Yan Xi down the mountain. He was Zhou Yanci's assistant, and he would not leave until Zhou Yanci left.

Before leaving, Special Assistant Sun comforted Yan Xi, "It's not far from here to Hancheng, we will definitely send you back on time."

Yan Xi asked, "What about you guys?"

Special Assistant Sun scratched his hair. He had no idea why Zhou Yanci was angry. "Just call another helicopter. Don't worry, we can get back."

The helicopter roared and flew down the mountain.

The wind was cold and biting, and Yan Xi could only see the black silhouette of the Wishing Tree, which was lonely and getting smaller and smaller.

——

After making arrangements for Yan Xi, Special Assistant Sun returned to Zhou Yanci.

"Mr. Zhou, Yan Xi has already left and is expected to return to Hancheng before twelve o'clock."

He glanced at the ground, which was covered with snow and some fallen wish sticks. Due to years of wind and sun, many of the sticks had dried up and would break into pieces with the slightest breeze.

Zhou Yanci held two wish cards in his hand, which were the two written by Yan Xi.

"Mr. Zhou, do you want me to hang these two wish cards up again?"

Zhou Yanci's face darkened as he threw the wish card to Special Assistant Sun.

"Throw it away."

The helicopter that had taken them up the mountain had already taken Yan Xi away, but Special Assistant Sun had booked another helicopter.

Ten minutes later, a helicopter landed on the top of Yunbai Mountain. The propellers roared, and the snow on the ground around it flew everywhere, like a heavy snowfall in July.

Zhou Yanci walked towards the helicopter without hesitation.

But the moment he stepped onto the plane, he paused, as if he was hesitant for two seconds. Finally, he made up his mind and turned around to look at Assistant Sun who was running back from the trash can.

"Where's my signature? Give it back to me."

Special Assistant Sun: ???

Boss! Could you have told me this two minutes earlier? I just lost it!

——

It was exactly twelve o'clock when Yan Xi returned to Hancheng.

She received a WeChat message from Zhou Qingyu on the private plane, asking her why she hadn't returned yet.

"You're still with Cheng Xun? The date ends at twelve o'clock. It seems you have a good impression of Cheng Xun!"

Yan Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If Zhou Qingyu and Zhou Yanci didn't have a bad relationship, she would have wanted to say, "I'm not dating Cheng Xun, I'm dating your brother."

Forget it, she just cared about Zhou Yanci a few times, but Zhou Yanci still misunderstood her. If Zhou Qingyu knew, who knows what she would think.

She couldn’t tell Zhou Qingyue that she cared about Zhou Yanci in order to increase her luck points!

When they returned to the villa, the live broadcast had already ended. Zhou Qingyu looked at Yan Xi jokingly, "How do you feel about Cheng Xun? How far have you come? Have you kissed? You came back so late, it's not going to go any further, is it?"

Yan Xi widened her eyes, "What are you thinking about!"

Zhou Qingyu smiled, "It's just gossip, and it's nothing, just ask him to wear a condom!"

She changed the subject, "He's wearing it, right? You're still young, you can play with it, but don't get pregnant!"

Yan Xi blushed, "No!"

"No?" Zhou Qingyu shook her head, "What about the kiss?"

Yan Xi: “…No.”

Zhou whispered: "Holding hands?"

Yan Xi: “…No.”

Zhou Qingyu was stunned. "So you and Cheng Xun didn't do anything? You spent the whole day on the date staring at each other? So boring?"

"Ah, this..."

Yan Xi opened her mouth and thought about today's schedule. The afternoon was quite boring, but the evening... "Not that boring."

"So is there any hope?" Zhou Qingyu moved closer to Yan Xi.

Yan Xi quickly begged for mercy, "Let me go, I just want to work now!"

Zhou Qingyu sighed, feeling very disappointed about Yan Xi's failed blind date. But it was not a big problem. They were in Country H now, and there were not many blind date candidates to choose from. But when they returned to Haicheng, there would still be plenty of men!

In a blink of an eye, it was the fourth day in Hancheng. Just like in Licheng, there was no live broadcast on the fourth day, and the promotional video was also filmed, so the fourth day was free and the guests could go wherever they wanted and buy souvenirs.

Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu went out early in the morning.

They selected the famous Goryeo celadon and Tai Chi fans from Country H, as well as some fun little things. Zhou Qingyu also selected a gift for Pei Yubai.

Yan Xi did not stop her. Anyway, her luck value had reached 55.2. There would be another wave of luck value to earn after this variety show. Zhou Qingyu would be very close to getting rid of the control of the plot. She was now obsessed with Pei Yubai because of the plot filter. There was no need to dampen her interest with such a trivial matter as buying gifts.

When Zhou Qingyu was choosing gifts for Pei Yubai, Yan Xi also looked at those gifts.

——Before coming to Country H, in addition to saying that she would bring a gift for Zhou's father, she also said that she would bring a gift for Zhou Yanci.

But she feels that their relationship is awkward now, and she doesn't know if it is still appropriate.

After thinking for a long time, Yan Xi picked out a cufflink for Zhou Yanci.

People should keep their promises! She bought gifts for Zhou's father and housekeeper Yu. It would be so pitiful if Zhou Yanci didn't receive any gifts!

After paying the bill, Yan Xi realized that Zhou Qingyu was not in the shop. She walked out and saw Zhou Qingyu standing under the awning of the gift shop.

Ye Luoyi stood in front of her, looking haggard.

The last time Pei Yubai apologized on the plane, it was a huge blow to her. She originally wanted to use Lu Beiyu to get back at her, but she didn't expect that Lu Beiyu would "rely on the dog for his wealth" and then have a conflict with Su Lingling, which made her physically and mentally exhausted throughout the whole journey. Now, looking at Zhou Qingyu, her complexion was not so good.

She looked at the gift Zhou Qingyu had chosen for Pei Yubai with a complicated expression.

"Are you and Mr. Pei still together?"

Zhou Qingyu glanced at Ye Luoyi with disdain, "Aren't you talking nonsense? Besides, what's the matter between me and Brother Yubai? It's none of your business!"

Ye Luoyi bit her back teeth, her nails digging into her flesh.

There were also text messages from Pei Yubai in her phone. Since leaving Haicheng, Pei Yubai would send her text messages every day, begging for her forgiveness, and saying that his apology was forced by his family, and the engagement was also forced, and that he and Zhou Qingyu had no relationship anymore.

It doesn’t matter anymore. Zhou Qingyu also bought him a gift?

They hadn't broken up at all, so what was the point of her being so fussy with Pei Yubai now? Was she a mistress?

The more Ye Luoyi thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She turned around and left without listening to Zhou Qingyu's scolding.

Zhou Qingyu looked at her from behind. "She suddenly appeared, and then suddenly ran away in the middle of her words. It's so weird!"

——

In the afternoon, the guests gathered again.

Director Yu always wanted to create some ceremonial feeling. On the last day of the second stop of the trip, Director Yu held a barbecue party for everyone to have a meal together.

This segment is not live, so it is not that formal, and staff will also participate.

When Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi returned to the villa, a barbecue stall had already been set up on the lawn. Lu Beiyu took the initiative to take charge of the barbecue, and skewered the meat in a very professional manner.

"Don't look at my young age, I used to work in a barbecue restaurant during the summer vacation! Customers always say that the sauce I mix is ​​especially delicious!"

I don't know if the barbecue in Lubei Island is delicious, after all, it's not ready yet. But Yaozu's eyes were wide open, and he sat in front of Lubei Island, wagging his tail wildly to show his respect.

Ten minutes later, the lamb skewers were ready, and Lu Beiyu distributed one to everyone around him.

Zhou Qingyu ate the skewers and thought they tasted good, so she praised Lu Beiyu a few times.

She glanced at Ye Luoyi who was standing beside her. Ye Luoyi didn't even take the skewers. She just sat there with a glass of water in her hand, with no smile on her face.

Zhou Qingyu has been unhappy with Ye Luoyi for many years. Others would feel pity when seeing Ye Luoyi like this, but she wouldn't. She would only add insult to injury.

Zhou Qingyu looked at Lu Beiyu, "Isn't Ye Luoyi your sister? Why don't you give her some grilled food? Otherwise, she will be left with nothing and be photographed by paparazzi and accused of colluding with other guests to bully her!"

Ye Luoyi glanced at Zhou Qingyu uncomfortably and said, "No, I have no appetite."

Lu Beiyu was caught between the two and felt helpless.

He distributed the freshly grilled skewers to everyone and said, "Miss, please don't talk about Sister Luo Yi. She has been very unhappy recently."

Zhou Qingyu sneered, "Then you go and comfort her!"

Lu Beiyu quickly shook his head, "No! Adult matters are too complicated!"

From the perspective of Ye Luoyi's younger brother, he would definitely advise Ye Luoyi to give up Pei Yubai as soon as possible, but he felt that Ye Luoyi might not listen.

It's no use trying to persuade him, Lubei Island would rather focus on the skewers.

He gave the roasted beef tendon to Yan Xi, "Sister Yan Xi, eat more!"

Su Lingling looked at her plate, then at Yan Xi's, "Lu Beiyu, you're going too far! We've known each other longer, why did you give Yan Xi an extra string?"

Lu Beiyu's eyes flickered, "How could that be?"

Su Lingling: "Obviously! You just gave me four strings, but gave Yan Xi five strings. You're not fair!"

Zhou Qingyu subconsciously looked at her plate.

Oh, that’s interesting, she also has four strings.

Lu Beiyu scratched his head guiltily, "I just like Sister Yan Xi more, so what..."

Zhou Qingyu’s CP radar lit up instantly.

Although Lu Beiyu is 17 years old, Yan Xi is only 20 years old. She is three years older than her husband, a rich man, the young master of the Lu family, and a professional e-sports champion. These conditions are not bad!

Yan Xi saw what Zhou Qingyu meant from her excited eyes and quickly refused, "Don't do that! I don't want to fall in love recently! Really!"

Has she been possessed by a peach blossom spirit recently? Why is there so much peach blossom?

Lu Beiyu was stunned for two seconds, then smiled, "Sister Yan Xi, you misunderstood. In addition to my eldest sister, I also have a second sister, but she is missing. If she is still alive, she is also 20 years old, the same age as you. When I saw you, I thought of her."

Lu Beiyu told the truth that he did feel a sense of intimacy when facing Yan Xi.

This is not only because Yan Xi is the same age as his lost second sister, but Yan Xi's eyebrows and eyes are also very similar to Lu Wan Ning.

Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi were stunned when they heard this. They didn't say anything else, but their expressions changed.

——

Su Lingling didn't notice anything strange about the two people. She was still worrying about the fact that she was missing one string of beef tendon. Later, Lu Beiyu gave her one more string of meat, and Su Lingling felt that it was a little fair.

Half an hour later, a takeaway food truck stopped outside the villa.

Zhou Qingyu greeted everyone, "How can we eat skewers without milk tea! I'm treating, everyone can have some, help yourself!"

The staff of the program team were all very happy. The eldest lady was very generous. Last time when recording the variety show, the team that followed her was able to eat and drink well, and this time the rest of them will also have the same treatment.

Zhou Qingyu took two cups of milk tea, gave one to Yan Xi and drank one for herself.

After taking two sips, she immediately felt something was wrong and quickly stopped Yan Xi, "Don't drink."

Yan Xi: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Qingyu: "It added mango. Aren't you allergic to mango? Let's change it to strawberry."

"good."

Yan Xi is allergic to mangoes, but it's not serious. She just gets a small rash after drinking it. Because it's not serious, she doesn't care. She just bears it or takes two pills.

It’s all milk tea anyway, so it’s okay to change the flavor.

Yan Xi took the milk tea of ​​another flavor handed to her by the staff without thinking much about it.

Next to him, Lu Beiyu was stunned. He looked at Yan Xi with complicated eyes.

Su Lingling was choosing her favorite flavor of milk tea, and she did not forget to look up and ask Lu Beiyu, "Lu Beiyu, what flavor do you want? Is mango okay?"

Lu Beiyu's heart was churning and his Adam's apple was rolling.

“Strawberry flavor,” he said. “I’m allergic to mangoes, too.”
