Pei Xu was stunned for a moment and looked down at the down jacket Zhai Xingchen was wearing.
“When did he send it?”
He remembered that Zhai Xingchen was wearing this down jacket when they met.
Zhai Xingchen said, “Didn’t you go to my house over the weekend? Not long after you left, when I came back from seeing you off, I saw Brother Huo sitting in my living room.”
He told Pei Xu about the time he accompanied Huo Cheng to buy clothes, and how Huo Cheng gave him the down jacket.
Pei Xu thought he was wrong.
He had always thought that Huo Cheng was a tough guy and not as capable as Yan Zhi, but now he saw that he was totally wrong.
He underestimated each and every one of them.
“That’s why I thought these clothes didn’t fit you well.” Pei Xu said.
Perhaps after saying this, he felt that this was a bit of a lie, so Pei Xu added: “These clothes are quite expensive, and they are different from the hat.”
“Yes, it’s very expensive. I’m still thinking about how to give him something back. I don’t know what to give him yet.”
Pei Xu said “hmm” and said, “Let me help you think about it.”
“OK.”
“The hat I gave you is not worth anything.” Pei Xu added, “There is no need to return it. You didn’t want to give me the shell.”
Zhai Xingchen said: “I can’t even get rid of the shells.”
“Actually, there are eight of us. We are all good people. We all give things out of good intentions. Maybe the economic situation is different. They don’t consider the price when they give things away, and they won’t use it if you return them. I feel that Huo Cheng is very considerate. I am very happy for you.”
Zhai Xingchen nodded and said, “I know.”
He smiled slightly as he spoke, looked at Pei Xu and said, “We are all very good people.”
“Well,” Pei Xu said, “Everything is fine.”
But it was good to be good, but it was not good to become a love rival.
Thinking of love rivals, a love rival had arrived.
The two of them suddenly noticed someone walking towards them.
It was Yan Zhi.
Zhai Xingchen immediately waved his hand to Yan Zhi.
The smile on Pei Xu’s face faded and he put his hands in his trouser pockets.
Yan Zhi shouted from a distance: “Why did you stay out for so long?”
He said it as if he had come out to pick up his wife.
“We are going to see Brother Duan.” Zhai Xingchen said, “Let’s go together.”
Yan Zhi walked up to him and glanced at Pei Xu. He didn’t wear glasses, and his eyebrows looked strange. He must have just taken a shower, his hair was very fluffy, and his lips were redder than usual.
This love rival looked really exquisite.
“Brother Huo and the others have gone back?” Yan Zhi asked.
Zhai Xingchen said “Hmm”.
Yan Zhi took out Zhai Xingchen’s gloves from his pocket: “I think you forgot to put them on. You better put them on, it’s too cold here.”
Yan Zhi did not regard Pei Xu as a love rival, and therefore did not restrain himself in front of him.
He felt that Pei Xu wouldn’t even care.
Pei Xu turned his gaze to the distance.
It made him upset to look at this scene more than once.
Yan Zhi glanced at Pei Xu and saw him turning his head to look away. He thought to himself, Pei Xu is a good guy and knows how to give them space.
When they arrived at Room 2, Lin Qingning was washing his feet. When he saw them coming in, he quickly stood up.
They also had a big bed. Duan Yihua was lying on one side wrapped in a quilt, with only a little hair exposed.
“Is he asleep?” Zhai Xingchen asked Lin Qingning softly.
Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, Duan Yihua turned his head.
Seeing Zhai Xingchen and the others, Duan Yihua immediately sat up.
“Don’t get up,” Zhai Xingchen said hurriedly, “We just came to see you.”
Duan Yihua lay down against the pillow. He looked extremely haggard and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m much better.”
“You don’t have a fever, do you?” Yan Zhi asked.
Duan Yihua coughed and said, “I don’t have a fever, I just have a bit of a cough. I’m much better now.”
“It’s too cold here.” Yan Zhi said.
“Your house is quite warm.” Zhai Xingchen said.
Lin Qingning said: “This house has a wall heater.”
Zhai Xingchen touched the wall next to him, and it was indeed very hot.
It was almost like a radiator.
“It’s better than the fire pit in Room 3. I wonder if Pei Xu and Hu Ying will turn into grilled fish tonight.” Zhai Xingchen said with a smile.
Duan Yihua leaned on the pillow, looked at Zhai Xingchen quietly, and laughed with him.
Perhaps because of his illness, his heart was particularly sad and soft. Seeing Zhai Xingchen’s smiling face made his heart warm.
Zhai Xingchen injected new vitality into the weak man. His youth and vitality made him envious and excited.
As expected, feelings could not be suppressed. The more suppressed they were, the more rebellious they became.
“Let Brother Duan rest early.” Yan Zhi said, “It’s getting late.”
Lin Qingning put on thick cotton socks, looked at Pei Xu, and said, “I heard that not everyone is used to sleeping on a fire bed. You must be careful when sleeping at night. It won’t work if it’s too hot.”
Pei Xu said, “Hmm”.
Zhai Xingchen glanced at Lin Qingning.
He suddenly felt that Lin Qingning seemed to be particularly concerned about Pei Xu and often found words to chat with Pei Xu.
Unexpectedly, Yan Zhi also discovered this. After coming out, he said to Pei Xu, “Qingning seems to have always cared about you.”
How could such a careful person like Pei Xu not know that Lin Qingning liked him? But when Yan Zhi suddenly said this in front of Zhai Xingchen, Pei Xu was quite suspicious of his intentions.
Zhai Xingchen added: “I think so too.”
Pei Xu didn’t answer.
Yan Zhi and Zhai Xingchen both wisely stopped talking.
After coming out of Room 2, they parted ways with Pei Xu.
One was walking towards the outside and the other was walking towards the scenic spot.
After they were all gone, Zhai Xingchen looked back and found that Pei Xu was still standing where he was.
Pei Xu watched Yan Zhi and Zhai Xingchen walk away. There was a faint song in the dark night, and it was the same song they heard when they came out of the hot pot restaurant. They played it over and over again, and they didn’t know how many times they played it.
In the biting cold wind, the cold moon, the cold snow, and the cold night, the song was so tender, singing:
Promise to be sincere, promise to be safe, promise to always have hope,
There are thousands of kinds of love in the world, but only true love is insurmountable.
He raised his head and glanced at the starry sky above his head.
The name Zhai Xingchen was chosen so wonderfully that you will never forget it once you hear it.
No matter where they were, when they looked up at the stars in the future, they would think of him.
This was really cruel.
Pei Xu’s eyes were cold and he refused to be that person who felt regretful and disappointed when he looked up at the starry sky.
Pei Xu returned to room three, where Hu Ying was soaking his feet.
To be honest, after Zhai Xingchen and the others left, only he and Pei Xu were left, and the atmosphere was really awkward.
After all, they were a red and blue team.
Although it was much better than single men and women living in the same room, it was still somewhat awkward.
He planned to sleep in a sweater and trousers, trying to stay as close as possible to avoid touching Pei Xu.
But he soon became comfortable.
Because Pei Xu completely dispelled his strange feeling of being alone with the red and blue guests.
Pei Xu’s whole body became very calm, and his eyes did not dodge when he looked at him.
He felt that he was like a wooden person to Pei Xu.
He didn’t give up and asked when he went to bed: “Would you feel awkward sleeping with me?”
Pei Xu sat at the other end, wrapped in another quilt, looked at him calmly and said, “No.”
Hu Ying had doubts about his charm for the first time.
OK.
He lay down in his sweater. As soon as he lay down, he heard Pei Xu ask, “Didn’t you like Yan Zhi before? Why have you been so cold to him lately?”
Hu Ying was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Pei Xu.
The reason why he was stunned was not because of the content of Pei Xu’s question.
But he didn’t expect that someone as cold as Pei Xu would gossip about their feelings. Han’t he always been an outsider and never joined in?
If it had been anyone else, he would have been a jerk, but Pei Xu was really not someone who could joke around. Hu Ying glanced at the camera, lowered his voice and said, “I prefer Zhai Xingchen now.”
Pei Xu didn’t respond at all.
Hu Ying felt guilty and felt that he would look too carefree in their eyes. There were cameras all around. Although they were not wearing microphones, the program team would probably be able to pick up on such a dangerous topic. Let’s not talk about it for now.
Unexpectedly, Pei Xu suddenly said: “I think Yan Zhi seems to like him quite a lot.”
Hu Ying was stunned for a moment and asked: “Yan Zhi?”
Pei Xu said, “Hmm”.
Hu Ying was shocked: “Yan Zhi?”
Pei Xu rested his arm on his head and looked cold. The more he thought about Zhai Xingchen, the colder he became.
There was a hungry wolf in front of him and a fierce tiger behind him. It was difficult for him to defeat four people.
Guo Bing and the others stared at the monitor.
“Damn it, Pei Xu won’t take action if he doesn’t want to take action. But he’s so ruthless when he takes action.”
“Are you trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife? Sitting on a mountain and watching the fight between tigers? Damn, this guy is so smart.”
“Didn’t he always cover the camera when he was sleeping? Why didn’t he cover it today?”
“It is to avoid suspicion. After all, if he sleeps with Hu Ying, the camera is on, and the program team is watching, it doesn’t count as being alone with Hu Ying.”
“Pei Xu is really…a good dog.”
Hu Ying was still in shock.
He really didn’t think about it. He only knew that Huo Cheng liked Zhai Xingchen very much.
So did he have another love rival?
