Chapter 48
The Asian Championships were to be held in two weeks, but at that moment, everyone was staring at the finals prize in a daze. A large box lay on a large rock. Inside, five watches and five contracts were revealed.
"These five watches and the contract are your entry tickets to the Asian Games. You can sign your names now."
Director Huang came out and the five people were stunned. They then realized that there was a big tent not far away from the dense forest. Director Huang had arrived a long time ago.
The five people looked at each other, opened the contract and took a quick look at it. This contract was not a formal contract, but just a letter of intent, just for the audience to see. The real contract still needed to be reviewed by a professional lawyer before it could be signed.
The five of them signed their names without hesitation, removing their old watches and placing them in their boxes. They then swapped out their new watches for their new wrists. The new watches were strikingly cool, their silver-white case accentuating their cold, hard lines, creating a striking contrast with the ticking hour, minute, and second hands on the dial. The bezel and dial were an obsidian-black color, housing three subdials.
There are five knobs on one side of the watch case, and the strap is black leather. Wearing it on the wrist, even if Chu Huaiqin and the others are sweating, it can't hide the elegance and nobility of this watch.
"Oh my god, this watch must be specially made. It's so beautiful."
"I really like this watch, please sell it."
"This is the first time I've seen a watch with five knobs and small dials inside. One of them shows the day of the week, which is a must-have. After all, in a long competition, competitors need to know the time. The second one is a compass. There's also a dial with five rays of light inside. What do these five rays represent?"
"This shouldn't just be a watch. It must have other functions. Ahhh, I'm getting nervous for no reason. I really want to know the secret of this watch."
"Could the five rays represent the number of team members?"
"That's impossible. According to the previous rules, the five players should act together. After all, this is an international competition, so they can't be separated."
"I'm concerned about the five knobs. This watch is specially designed, and these five knobs must be very important."
"I thought of Conan."
"Thank you, this is not the world of science."
Seeing this watch in the live studio, everyone's mind was spinning rapidly, constantly guessing what it was. At this time, Chu Huaiqin and the others had already signed the letter of intent and handed it to the director team. The watch was already put on. Director Huang asked them to stand together and take an original photo first, and then asked the five of them to change clothes.
The black suits made the figures of the men look taller and more slender. They strode out from the director's tent with long legs. The men were handsome and the women were beautiful. After training in the wild, they were awe-inspiring and dazzling. The audience in the live broadcast room were screaming with admiration at their handsomeness.
"It must be the little monk's bald head that blinded me!"
Live broadcast room: ...
"Very good, stand together, we need to take a group photo, this photo will be put on the official website for promotion along with the contestants from other participating countries, and cheer up." Director Huang shouted with full energy. He only participated in the domestic competition, and other directors would go to the Asian competition. This was undoubtedly a regret for him.
The center position was given to the only woman. Lin Zhinan was flanked by the monk and Xia Entropy, while Chu Huaiqin and Su Huaichen were at the very edge. The five of them held their left hands together, raised them high, and gazed at the camera...
The girl in the middle had a tougher demeanor, looking dashing in her suit. The older boys on either side of him had a stern expression on the left, while the one on the right had a wide smile. Chu Huaiqin, on the far left, had a half-smile on his face, a hint of evil, while Su Huaichen, on the right, smiled as brightly as the moon.
Each has its own characteristics, the beautiful ones are stunningly beautiful, and the handsome ones are stunningly handsome.
“Crack!”
The photographer pressed the button in time to freeze the moment.
"Go to Asia, charge!"
At that moment, the livestream was flooded with messages of encouragement. At the same time, the official Weibo account released a pre-edited copy and two photos, instantly triggering a massive online traffic explosion. While some were disappointed with the production team after previous years' competitions, they were still curious about the participants who had secured domestic spots and would be participating in the Asian Games this year.
"Wow, that's amazing! There are actually three young people this year. Lin Zhinan and the little monk are sixteen, Xia En is nineteen, Chu Huaiqin is twenty-three, and uh, Actor Su is a bit too old, he's already twenty-eight."
"Three celebrities and two amateurs, that's a pretty good result. I haven't watched the domestic competition, so I don't know how the international competition will be."
"I'm suddenly curious. Were they really chosen based on their merit? Could it be another case of internal selection like before?"
"As for the ones in front of me, I can tell you responsibly that this year's selection was definitely based on strength. My brother can punch a tiger and kick a leopard."
"This year's event is indeed less of an entertainment variety show script and more of a realistic sense of wilderness survival. You can watch the edited version."
"Ahhh, am I the only one who thinks they're so handsome? Isn't the competition still half a month away? Come on, scream for me now."
"Fuck, why does Allen Chu smile so seductively? Damn it, isn't he going for the nobleman route?"
"Ahhh, my Chenchen, he's still so handsome, I love him so much."
"Sister is also very beautiful. Xia En's face is still so ugly. I didn't expect the little monk to look so handsome in a suit. It's just that his head is too bald."
"So excited! What's the status of the Asian Games? Will the format be announced in advance if they change this year?"
The top six trending search terms on Weibo were all about wilderness survival livestreams, and those who had already competed were watching with envy. Meanwhile, others still in the competition zone were about to leave.
"Come on, everyone, say a few words to the live studio," Director Huang clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to the camera, "and then clap your hands."
"Okay, who's going first?" Chu Huaiqin moved his hands slightly on his tie. Although he knew how to wear a suit, he didn't like wearing a tie because he felt it was tight around his neck.
"Let me go first," the little monk jumped out and waved to the camera. "Well, I don't know you either, but thank you for your support. After I finish the competition, I will open a restaurant. Everyone is welcome to come and eat."
Director Huang: …
Live broadcast room: ...
"Thank you all for your support. I will continue to work hard." Lin Zhinan was more reserved. He nodded to the camera and stepped aside.
"Haha, I didn't expect that I would make it to the end. I know you will definitely say that I won by luck. Well, luck is also a part of strength. But don't worry about the Asian competition, I will definitely not be the one that drags us down. Come on, cheer for me!" Su Huaichen clenched his fists.
The three of them said that there were two more left, and the camera turned to Chu Huaiqin.
Chu Huaiqin smiled at the camera and said, "See you at the Asian Games."
Live broadcast room:
"It's so brief, the most talkative one can't be Actor Su!"
The live broadcast room actually guessed it. After all, the last one was Xia Entropy. Except for Chu Huaiqin, this person counted the words he spoke to other people. It seemed unlikely that he spoke more than Su Huaichen.
However, when the camera turned to Xia En, for one second, two seconds, twenty seconds, Xia En stood motionless. Just as Director Huang was about to call him, Xia En's face slowly turned red, and he pursed his lips tightly, uttering seven words: "Remember to watch War of the Gods."
Director Huang: …
audience:……
"Haha, Xia En is helping Chu Huaiqin promote his TV series!"
"Don't worry, don't worry. I'll go see it. I'll definitely go see it. I also want to see what the ancient god Chu Huaiqin, the protagonist of "War of the Gods," looks like. But no, I can't. I think of Chu Huaiqin climbing a mountain with a cane, and suddenly I can't imagine it anymore."
"Aside from one or two blurry stills, there's no trailer yet. It's so frustrating. I can't even find it even if I try."
"Based on this schedule, Chu Huaiqin's 'War of the Gods' will be broadcast when he participates in the international competition. Of course, if he can win the Asian competition."
"I believe Chu Huaiqin will win!"
"I believe it too."
A row of messages appeared in the live broadcast room, saying that they had been defeated for five years and it was time to rise up.
However, at this moment:
"Goodbye, see you at the Asian Games!"
The five people at the scene shouted this sentence to the camera and clapped their hands. The wilderness survival live broadcast room officially decided to force the closure of the live broadcast room.
Audience members still chatting: ...
We haven't said goodbye yet! Bad review.
That afternoon, everyone had a good meal in the director's tent, and then took a helicopter to leave the competition area. Su Huaichen sighed and said he would sleep for three days and three nights when he got back. Lin Zhinan had already fallen asleep in his seat, and Xia Entropy looked at Chu Huaiqin from time to time, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"Brother, my master drove me down the mountain and I have nowhere to go. Can I go to your house?"
These words suddenly came from the earphones. Xia Entropy, who was hesitating, thought it was himself who said it. He looked closely and found that it was the little monk who turned around and looked at Chu Huaiqin pitifully.
Xia En suddenly became nervous and turned to look at Chu Huaiqin, unwilling for him to agree.
"Sure!" Chu Huaiqin responded readily.
"You don't know him well, so how can you let him into your house casually?" Xia En was anxious. He glared at the little monk fiercely, wishing he could drag him aside and beat him up.
"Brother and I have known each other for a month, how come we are not familiar with each other anymore?" The little monk was angry. On the day he participated in the competition, his master threw him out. Now he has nowhere to go. After thinking for a while, the little monk rummaged through the backpack returned by the director team and took out his ID card and passbook. "Brother, the password is 666666, please hold it for me."
The little monk raised his chin and said, "This way, I don't have to worry about cheating on you, right?"
"You," Xia En clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Brother, I have nowhere else to go."
Chu Huaiqin: ...
"You, you won't take in the little monk, no, you won't want me!" Xia En's heart was beating wildly, especially when he said the last four words, he felt inexplicably aggrieved.
Chu Huaiqin wanted to refuse, but when he saw Xia En had pushed his eyes red, his heart softened for some reason and he said, "Isn't it half a chance to see you again?"
When Chu Huaiqin said this, Xia En suddenly felt like an abandoned little animal. He lowered his head in pain and muttered, "So it still doesn't work?"
At the beginning, this person clearly told me to wait for him and he would come back, but in the end he didn't come back. It doesn't matter if he didn't come back. Now I have come to look for him, why is it still not working?
"Brother, brother, is he crying?" the little monk asked in a low voice, forgetting that everyone was wearing headphones and that it was on the public channel, so naturally Xia Entang heard it too. He immediately looked up and gritted his teeth, "Who are you talking about crying?"
Xia En didn't cry, but his face looked uglier than if he had cried.
"If you have nowhere to go, come back with me!" Chu Huaiqin was helpless. He didn't understand what was wrong with Xia En, but when he thought that he was only nineteen years old, Chu Huaiqin accepted it. If it were an ordinary person, he wouldn't have even graduated from college!
After being able to go back with Chu Huaiqin, Xia Entang's mood improved significantly during the second half of the journey. They rested at the airport for the night and flew back to the capital the next morning. With a serious expression but a cheerful heart, Xia Entang pulled his luggage behind Chu Huaiqin, thinking about what he would do when he got to his house.
First of all, the house must be very dirty, so it must be cleaned, which means doing housework, doing housework...
Su Huaichen, who was walking beside Chu Huaiqin, glanced at Xia En and saw that he seemed to be walking in a dream. He almost laughed out loud, but he soon stopped laughing. In the airport lobby, a person he hated appeared.
Xia Entang was also unhappy. Why was his brother here? And with a group of people following him, was he here to arrest him?
Director Huang didn't expect that the eldest son of the Xia family would appear here, so he hurried forward to greet him.
"Why are you here?" Director Huang smiled. No matter how dissatisfied he was with Xia En, Xia Huang was the largest sponsor of the domestic competition, so he was naturally happy to have a good relationship with him.
"Come and pick them up." After saying that, Xia Huang turned his gaze to Chu Huaiqin. The two people he was looking for were here!
"Huaiqin, I'm leaving first." Su Huaichen looked very cold when he wasn't smiling. He nodded to Chu Huaiqin, put on a mask and sunglasses, and left with his luggage. "Come out for a drink when you have time."
Xia Huang glanced at Su Huaichen, then looked away and said to Xia En, "I'm going home today. Mom and Dad are back."
"I won't." Xia Entang refused directly, turning his head away without giving his brother any face.
"If you don't reply, I'll tear Qing En apart." Xia Huang said this, ignoring Xia En's incredulous look. He turned to Director Huang and said, "I have something to do. I'm leaving now."
"Okay, I won't see you off." Director Huang naturally knew what he was in a hurry to do.
As soon as Xia Huang left, the people who followed him walked up to Xia En and said, "Young Master, the car is outside!"
Xia En's hands creaked as he pulled the luggage, but in the end he had to succumb to his brother's authority. He said he would tear Qing En apart, and he really would.
"Brother, let's have a celebration meeting." Xia Entang looked at Chu Huaiqin reluctantly.
"It's a celebration meeting, go back!" Chu Huaiqin had heard of Xia En's elder brother's name. He was very powerful and Xia En, a newly hatched kitten, could not defeat him.
"Well, then," Xia En pushed the suitcase forward, babbling incoherently. After a while, he mustered up the courage to say, "Brother, remember to think of me."
Before Chu Huaiqin could react, Xia En had already run away, leaving only his back.
The author has something to say: There is no secondary CP in this article, and it will only be mentioned occasionally.
In addition, when typing the list of the five selected candidates in the previous chapter, Su Huaichen's name was not included, and it has been corrected. I was not feeling well for the past two days, so I wrote the update while sick, especially last night, when I had a high fever. At that time, I was only thinking about finishing the update and resting, so I didn't notice it. I apologize.
I usually write two chapters and then go to the Asian competition.
