Chapter 97
The Asian competition ended perfectly. The Rolling Team won the championship, and all five members entered the global competition. There were two members from the Sheep Team and three members from the Camel Team. A total of ten members qualified for the Asian competition.
Major media outlets began frantically reporting on the teams that qualified for the Asian Championship. Most curiously, they wondered what happened during the night and day the Gun Gun team disappeared. What was inside the Stone House Maze? Were there legendary monsters or chemical weapons left over from World War II?
If the legend is true that one can enter but cannot exit, how did Chu Huaiqin and the others get out?
For a time, Chu Huaiqin's name was on the headlines of media in various Asian countries. Most of the reports were complimentary. As for the sarcastic remarks from the media of several participating countries, they did not cause any extra waves. Most people approved of Chu Huaiqin and his team's achievements.
As the first team from one region to qualify for the global competition, the most popular European and American media also reported on it. Chu Huaiqin's domestic competitions were also dug up, and videos of him punching a wild boar and killing a snake with a flying knife, which were the most disappointing to domestic audiences, were also put up, and everyone felt proud of it.
This night, everyone is destined to stay awake.
Chu Huaiqin was quite nervous. After getting on the ship, the doctor came up to check on the three of them. The final result was that they only had a slight nutritional imbalance, excessive fatigue, and a little fever. None of them were serious and they would be fine after a good rest.
After the examination, the three were given nutritional water under the doctor's supervision before being released. From washing to sleeping, no one could stop them. Meanwhile, Chen Guo, who had arrived at Miami Airport due to a flight delay, saw the news of the Asian Games ending on TV and nearly cried.
The praise for Chu Huaiqin in the news made Chen Guo smile so much that his teeth were showing. Foreign travelers passing by also praised him continuously. Chen Guo nodded repeatedly after hearing them. Yes, his Huaiqin was just that great.
After having fun, Chen Guo thought that the program crew should return the phone to Chu Huaiqin, and started bombarding him with calls. The phone rang again and again but no one answered. Chen Guo became nervous again, wondering if something had happened!
"Hello!"
Just as Chen Guo was about to despair, her phone was picked up, but it wasn't Chu Huaiqin's voice. Chen Guo hesitated and said, "Director Xia?"
"Yeah, Qingqing is sleeping, he's fine." Xia Entang stood in the corridor, answering the call with Chu Huaiqin's phone. He had just taken the phone back from the staff. As soon as he turned it on, he saw Chen Guo's call. The caller ID said "agent". Xia Entang thought about it and decided it was okay, so he picked up the phone.
Chen Guo: "Then, where is he now? How did he get back? I'm at Miami Airport right now..."
Xia Entropy: "No need. We are on a ship now and will land in Puerto Rico. We will take my brother's private plane back. You can go back by yourself!"
Chen Guo: "Alright!"
Chen Guo was very happy. She didn't expect that Chu Huaiqin not only made himself famous internationally by appearing on the show, but also became familiar with the Xia family. This was a good idea.
Chen Guo: "Then I'll have to trouble Director Xia to take care of Huaiqin. I'll fly back right away to clean his house and let him get back to rest."
Xia Entropy: "No need. I, I will take care of him. He's been hungry and tired these past two days, and his body has been quite damaged by exercise. He needs to find a nutritionist to take care of him."
The global competition will begin soon, and he must get Chu Huaiqin's body back in shape before the competition starts.
Chen Guo: "Ah, Huaiqin isn't going home?"
"Hmm~"
The "hmm" was so light and vague that Chen Guo almost didn't hear it clearly. However, thinking that the two of them had a good relationship on the show, it was understandable that Chu Huaiqin wanted to go to his place to rest after returning, so he didn't ask any more questions, said a few polite words, and hung up the phone.
Xia Entang hung up the phone and was about to return to Chu Huaiqin's room when he saw his elder brother carrying Su Huaichen towards them. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Don't hurt him. We still have a game to play."
Xia Huang, Su Huaichen: "..."
Xia En frowned and glanced at Su Huaichen: "Your strength is already not good enough, and now you have injured your hands and feet, you are a burden."
After saying this, he left without mercy.
"Xia En, you bastard, stop right there." Su Huaichen was angry. He was indeed a bit of a burden, but he had to save his face by saying it so directly!
"Don't swear," Xia Huang frowned, looking a lot like Xia En, "I've seen what you've learned in the past few years in the entertainment industry."
"It's none of your business, you scumbag." Su Huaichen turned his head and bit Xia Huang's arm. When his hand loosened due to pain, he slipped out in an instant, took several steps back, glared at him hatefully, and ran away.
Blood oozed from the wound on his arm. Xia Huang smiled, a rare sight, and said in a deep voice, "Your claws are still as sharp as ever."
Xia Entang cautiously entered Chu Huaiqin's room, muted his phone, and placed it on the bedside table. He squatted beside the bed and pulled the quilt over Chu Huaiqin. He saw his hand on the quilt, which was slightly cold. He carefully grasped it and tried to put it under the quilt, when the shocking scar appeared before his eyes.
His eyes darkened, and Xia En held his hand for a long time before putting it under the quilt. Then he knelt beside the bed and stared at Chu Huaiqin.
"How long are you going to watch?"
His hazy eyes opened and his voice was hoarse and low, and it could be seen that Chu Huaiqin was very sleepy.
Xia En was startled and his face flushed instantly, but he did not avoid Chu Huaiqin's gaze. Instead, he said helplessly: "I, I..."
"Leave me alone and come up to sleep! If you stare at me like this, even a dead person can be brought back to life." Chu Huaiqin said vaguely, turned over and fell asleep again.
Xia En, who was kneeling on the ground, stiffened instantly and looked at Chu Huaiqin's background in a daze.
Come up and sleep, come up and sleep, come up and sleep...
Then, Xia En came up and fell asleep.
Have a good night's sleep.
The next day, while still asleep, Chu Huaiqin felt something was wrong. He felt someone was in his bed. Except for a very good-looking young man he slept with in his youth, there had never been anyone in his bed. But now, there was someone in his bed.
In an instant, Chu Huaiqin's muscles were in a state of war. He was about to open his eyes and kick the bastard who had climbed onto his bed, but he found that the man looked very familiar, so he quickly retracted his foot.
The sleeping figure breathed softly, his hard facial lines softening. His narrow nose and thin lips were tightly pursed, revealing a hint of grievance. Overall, Xia Entang was quite good-looking, and Chu Huaiqin was even a little moved by him.
"Have I been single for too long?" Chu Huaiqin muttered to himself, retracted his gaze, and got out of bed.
Walking to the window, Chu Huaiqin opened the curtains. The ship had already docked, and outside, a crowd of people was milling about noisily. Many reporters and photographers were stopping the disembarking teams to interview them, but it was unclear what they were talking about.
"Qingqing," Xia En opened his eyes and was startled to see no one in the bed. He jumped out of the bed and was about to look for someone when he saw Chu Huaiqin standing by the window. "Why are you up so early?"
Xia En ran barefoot towards Chu Huaiqin, followed his gaze toward the shore, and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door. The little monk and Lin Zhinan came bounding in.
Lin Zhinan: "Brother, Director Li asked us to get off the boat."
Chu Huaiqin: "Okay, wait for me for a while, wash up first."
There is a bathroom in this room. After washing up, Chu Huaiqin and Xia En went to the restaurant to have breakfast before getting off the boat with the camel team and the sheep team.
In an instant, flashbulbs blared wildly, and countless reporters swarmed in, surrounding the ten people who qualified, throwing questions one after another. It seemed that 90% of them were from the rolling team, and the center of the questions was about the day and night when they disappeared.
After a lot of arguing, the security guards finally cleared a path for the group to leave.
Chu Huaiqin and others did not rest in Puerto Rico, but boarded Brother Xia's private plane and flew to China.
After a thirteen-hour flight, the group arrived at nine in the evening. Chinese reporters were already waiting at the airport, along with supporters from the three celebrities and a small number of fans of Little Monk and Xia Entropy. Several groups of people huddled together, holding LED signs and craning their necks to wait for someone to come out.
“Here I come!”
Someone said it, but everyone looked closely and saw it was Chu Huaiqin. Instantly, cheers erupted, echoing throughout the airport.
Even passersby stopped in their tracks upon seeing them. Someone started it, but the airport erupted in applause, and others couldn't help but join in the clapping.
This is the first time that a Chinese team has won the Asian championship in the five wilderness survival competitions. Their outstanding performance on the field has brought glory to China, and they deserve the applause.
"Chu Huaiqin, we love you."
The confession sounded at the airport, and the deafening sound sounded particularly exciting. It would be fine if it was at a conference venue or other places, but it was not appropriate here at the airport.
"Shh!"
The handsome man, with his index finger on his lips and a smile in his clear eyes, looked over with a hint of affection. The fans who came to pick him up at the airport were almost going crazy and were about to scream again, but suddenly remembered the meaning of his action and immediately suppressed the desire to scream. It hurt so much that their chest hurt, but they were still very happy.
The scene finally quieted down, and the group left the airport under the escort of security. The frustrated fans rushed outside, shouting crazily: "Ahhh, brother is so handsome."
Passerby: ...
Many people were broadcasting Chu Huaiqin's airport show live, and people in many parts of the world were also watching. Seeing the man who conquered them on the field become so handsome after he restrained his aura, many people immediately declared themselves to be his die-hard fans and obtained fan status.
Chu Huaiqin, whose traffic exploded, was the talk of the town. Now he can be said to be able to kill gods and Buddhas. He is not in the so-called first or second-tier entertainment circles and his current situation cannot be classified as such. In addition, there is a global competition, and everyone can already predict how many fans he will have in the future and how terrible his resources will be.
Such a transcendent existence is definitely not pleasant, especially after Chu Huaiqin participated in the Asian Games, many big endorsements, advertisements, and scripts flew into Chen Guo's hands, and it can be said that she could pick whatever she wanted.
It makes people jealous to the point of madness.
Chen Guo was also very happy. Looking at the contracts and scripts piled on the table, he grinned so much that his teeth were visible. He was so excited that he couldn't sit still and could only pace back and forth. He had to use this momentum to firmly establish Chu Huaiqin's position in the entertainment industry at the top level and never let it go down.
"Hahaha!"
Chen Guo was so happy that he couldn't control himself and laughed out loud.
The phone on the desk rang at the right moment. Chen Guo saw it was Chu Huaiqin and picked it up in a very good mood. "How is it? Is your stay okay?"
Chu Huaiqin: “…”
"Why didn't you come to pick me up at the airport?" Chu Huaiqin asked. It wasn't that he wanted Chen Guo to pick him up, but he was curious about why Chen Guo didn't show up.
"Haha, isn't Director Xia here with us? I feel at ease." Chen Guo flipped through the scripts and endorsements on the table, looking at them one by one and choosing them as if she were selecting a harem.
"Okay, then at least have someone clean my place!" Chu Huaiqin stood at the door. He hadn't been back for a month, and he could smell the dust.
"Ah?" Chen Guo was stunned. Didn't they say they were going to live at Director Xia's house?
"Ah what?" Chu Huaiqin frowned. He had been on a thirteen-hour flight and was very tired. He didn't want to play riddles with Chen Guo.
At this point, Chen Guo also reacted. After understanding Xia Entropy's words, she pondered for a moment and decided that she couldn't betray Xia Entropy. She could only take the blame. "Didn't something happen to you? I was so anxious that I ran to Miami. I only found out you were okay when I got there, so I came back. I forgot about it for a moment. Why don't you stay with me first?"
Chu Huaiqin: "I don't want to be a light bulb."
Chen Guo thought: "What about staying in a hotel? Oh, no, staying in a hotel now means you're just giving yourself to reporters. What should I do?"
Chen Guo was so worried that he almost died. Why did he believe what Xia Entang said?
"Forget it, I'll think about it..."
"Brother, come live with me!" Xia Entang followed Chu Huaiqin back on the grounds that his hand was injured and he was not fit to carry luggage. When he saw Chu Huaiqin calling Chen Guo, he thought the matter was over, but he didn't expect that he was alive again.
"Will it be too intrusive?"
"No, I live alone in my house."
"Okay! Thank you for your help."
"No trouble, no trouble," Xia En was very happy. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Brother, can I use the restroom?"
"Go!"
After Chu Huaiqin finished speaking, Chen Guo brought him back to the topic, mainly talking about the release of "War of the Gods". The producers also wanted to take advantage of this momentum to broadcast the film and take advantage of the traffic of wilderness survival.
Xia En entered the bathroom and carefully closed the door. He then quickly took out his cell phone and called his brother, "Where are you?"
"Home."
"Why are you at home? Hurry, go, go now, go right away."
"Why, are your enemies chasing after you?"
"I want to take my brother home, so you quickly find a place to run."
Xia Huang: “…”
"Why should I run?" "I told my brother that there was no one at home. Aren't you a human being?"
Xia Huang: How should I answer? Are you saying I'm not a human being? Can I not have this brother?
He lowered his head and looked at Su Huaichen, who was pressed on the sofa by him and his eyes were red with anger. "Alright! Let's go." After hanging up the phone, Xia Huang put the man on his shoulder and left.
Su Huaichen: Xia Huang, damn it.
The author has something to say: Chu Huaiqin's past and Xia En's childhood story will be told in the global competition, and he will meet many old friends at the same time.
