Chapter 253 A meeting to recall the bitter past and think of the sweet past
Chen Su quietly took the cup from Xu Ying's hand and asked the clerk for a blanket.
Just as he was about to cover it, his fingertips touched the thin cloth and his brows furrowed - this thickness was simply not enough.
The snow weasel poked its head out of Xu Ying's pocket.
"Shhh."
Chen Su gestured and took off his coat.
The navy blue uniform jacket still retained his body temperature. He bent down carefully and gently placed the coat over the blanket.
The police badge on her collar happened to be next to her cheek, shining with a gentle metallic luster under the warm light.
The snow ferret suddenly covered its mouth and pointed its other paw at Chen Su's ear: "Police officer, your ears are so red."
Although Chen Su didn't understand what the snow ferret was saying, he subconsciously pinched his ears. He stretched out his palm and gently covered the snow ferret's eyes: "You didn't see anything."
"When it gets dark later, remember to tell Stationmaster Xiao Xu to get up and go back to his room to sleep."
The snow ferret nodded obediently, rubbing its little face against Chen Su's palm.
Just as Chen Su was about to get up, Xu Ying unconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes in her sleep.
Chen Su froze in place, and finally just gently pinched her sleeve, pinched her wrist and stuffed her back into the blanket.
The glass window reflected his slightly raised mouth and the girl wrapped in a coat with only half of her sleeping face exposed.
Outside the store, Director Zanghu witnessed this scene and shook his head: "Tsk tsk, the courtship method of bipeds is really troublesome."
It swung its tail and threw a pine cone, which hit the window of the store in front of Chen Su accurately: [Can't you just take it back to your nest?]
Chen Su's gaze was fixed on the glass and attracted by the very funny Tibetan fox outside the glass. Somehow, he could see sarcasm and disgust in the other's expression.
He turned around and went to the bar to order a cup of hot milk. He whispered to the waiter, "When she wakes up later..."
When it's completely dark,
Xu Ying was awakened by a furry snow weasel rubbing against his cheek. He rubbed his eyes in a daze, and his nose twitched at the sweet scent of milk.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a cup of steaming honey milk on the table, with a note with sharp handwriting on the bottom of the cup:
"Get some rest. Tomorrow's recording will start an hour earlier. Go downstairs at 9:15.
——Chen Su
The signature was drawn with a Q-version sleeping face of a little girl - three exaggerated "zzz" sleep marks were drawn on the chubby cheeks, forming a sharp contrast with the sharp handwriting.
Hmm? Xu Ying blushed. Could this painting of Chen Su be of her sleeping self?
He draws cute pictures!
Xu Ying felt particularly warm. She looked down and saw Chen Su's police coat. A faint scent of laundry detergent lingered at the tip of her nose.
Xu Ying stood up and stretched, preparing to return the coat to Chen Su. However, when he went upstairs, the kind clerk told him that the police officer had already left.
Return it tomorrow morning.
Xu Ying returned to her room and prepared to rest early, after all, she had to record the show tomorrow morning.
Early the next morning.
Xu Ying took Chen Su's coat downstairs.
Chen Su was already sitting by the window, and the morning light cast a soft golden edge on his stern profile.
"Captain Chen, your coat."
Xu Ying handed over the clothes and said, "Thank you."
When Chen Su took it, he took out a small object from his pocket: "This is the pine cone that Tibetan Fox gave me. I made a little gadget. Do you like it?"
Xu Ying took it curiously. An exquisite pine cone brooch lay quietly in his palm. The surface was coated with transparent resin, sparkling in the sun.
"You seem to be very popular with the animals in the snowy mountains."
Xu Ying's lips curled slightly as she gently pinned the brooch to her collar. Her gaze strayed across the glass window beside the table. Through the hazy mist, a naive Tibetan fox tilted its head, as if trying to peek out from the glass—someone must have left this adorable doodle in the mist with their finger.
"I didn't expect that our police officer Chen is actually a delayed painting genius." When Xu Ying smiled, the dimples on her cheeks seemed to be filled with honey, and were particularly warm in the morning light.
Their eyes fell on the Tibetan fox at the same time, and they both recalled the small piece of paper with the same graffiti on it from yesterday. When they turned to look at each other at the same time, the tips of Chen Su's ears turned slightly red.
"Thank you." He replied in a low voice, with a subtle sense of embarrassment in his voice.
At that moment, a real Tibetan fox passed by the window slowly, holding half a carrot in its mouth. It caught a glimpse of the two people in the window turning their heads and smiling in sync, narrowed its eyes in disdain, and rolled its eyes exaggeratedly.
"Pah!" Its fluffy tail slammed against the glass, sending up a few tiny droplets of water. The Tibetan fox, head held high, stalked away with a reckless gait, leaving behind only a few muddy paw prints on the windowsill.
Chen Su looked at the serious and irritable Director Zang Hu and couldn't help laughing. He said to Xu Ying, "Let's go. The production team's car has arrived. Let's go to the venue for the second episode's meeting."
The second episode begins with the guests having brunch together to get to know each other again.
The two got on the program crew's car. The meeting venue was halfway up the mountain in the scenic area, and it took less than twenty minutes to drive there.
The production crew's car stopped in front of a dilapidated-looking wooden house.
Xu Ying looked at the dilapidated wooden house and the coffee shop B&B that the production crew had booked. They were like heaven and earth. What kind of tricks were the production crew up to? The smile on her face disappeared instantly.
Chen Su raised the corners of his lips slightly, and a gentle smile spread across his eyes: "Hurry up, the live broadcast is about to begin."
He paused, his voice unconsciously lowered, "Stationmaster Xu, I hope everything goes well today too."
Xu Ying winked at him and made an OK gesture: "Got it!"
The morning light filtered through the treetops, casting tiny specks of gold on her receding figure. The variety show adventure of "Xiao Xu Station Master" has begun again!
Xu Ying pushed open the door of the wooden house, and the old wooden door made a creaking sound.
Inside the house, the old scientific research station carefully decorated by the program team perfectly reproduced the adventure atmosphere of the 1990s - faded climbing ropes were coiled on rusty wall nails like snakes; spider webs were woven on the glass cover of the old kerosene lamp; the paint on the wooden table had long been mottled, revealing the varying depths of the annual rings.
The staff were busy covering a long wooden table with the white plastic tablecloth used for village banquets. With a swish, the plastic sheet unfurled in the air.
The enamel bowls and stainless steel plates neatly arranged on the table gleam with a warm luster, and even the seats are all painted benches.
Xu Ying smiled knowingly. It seemed that this morning's meeting was going to be sentimental.
"Hey there!" Yao Yingzhe strode in wrapped in a vintage military coat. "Looking at this, I thought we were back home for a feast!"
"Master Xu, long time no see~" Ye Jie came skipping into the room wearing a floral headscarf that had a very rustic feel, and sat down next to Xu Ying affectionately, with a corner of the headscarf playfully raised.
Jiayao was the last one to enter. He looked around the furnishings in the room calmly, and when he saw the spider web in the corner, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
But the moment the camera turned to him, he immediately put on a handsome and shining smile - in the second episode, he was determined to reshape his image.
