Finally, everyone finalized the performance items for tomorrow night.
Zhai Xingchen and Pei Xu were going to play piano music.
Wen Nuo was going to perform martial arts.
Yan Zhi was performing magic.
Lin Qingning would play accordion and Duan Yihua the guitar.
Huo Cheng would be dancing.
And Hu Ying was the violinist.
In terms of highlights, Hu Ying’s violin, Wen Nuo’s martial arts, and Duan Yihua’s guitar were the most worth looking forward to. Hu Ying had strong characteristics, and Wen Nuo and Duan Yihua had a strong contrast.
Next was Huo Cheng’s dance. He was tall and had a cheerful personality. When he danced, the variety show effect would definitely be perfect.
As for the others, they were pretty average.
“Actually, I think Yan Zhi’s magic is a bit unfair.” Huo Cheng felt that among all the talents, his magic seemed to be the least outstanding. He himself was a little embarrassed: “How about letting Yan Zhi choose another one at will.”
Unexpectedly, Yan Zhi said: “It’s good to do magic, there’s no need to change it.”
Big bosses didn’t rely on these to gain attention.
“It’s a happy decision. Let’s go to bed early today and help each other tomorrow. There will be a performance at night, and after the performance, we will change the accomodation.”
“The rhythm is soaring,” Hu Ying said.
“It just has to be like riding a roller coaster to be fun.” Guo Bing said with a smile.
“How will the houses be divided this time?”
“I can’t say it yet, for fear of putting you under pressure. I’ll tell you tomorrow.”
“I hope it’s creative and doesn’t ask us to draw lots again,” Hu Ying said.
“It’s definitely not a lottery.” Guo Bing said, “It will make you scream.”
“Director, please stop talking. We won’t be able to sleep at night.” Huo Cheng laughed.
Everyone was ready to go back and rest.
“Can your room No. 3 survive tonight?” Huo Cheng asked Hu Ying, “Would you like to spend the night in our house? You can choose wherever you want.”
“Is it true?” Hu Ying asked, “Then I’ll go to your place.”
Huo Cheng thought Hu Ying would choose room No. 1, but he didn’t expect that he would go to their place.
“Okay, you can share our double bed with me, or share the same bed with Wen Nuo.”
Hu Ying said: “I really want to go.”
“I’m serious too.” Huo Cheng said and looked at Wen Nuo, “Does Wen Nuo have any objection?”
Wen Nuo smiled and said, “No, I welcome you warmly.”
He also wanted to have more people, as it would be fun if there were more people, otherwise he would be embarrassed facing Huo Cheng alone.
Huo Cheng looked at Pei Xu: “What about you? Why don’t we go together?”
“I won’t go.” Pei Xu said.
“I have to ask the program team to see if they are willing.” Hu Ying said and looked at director Guo Bing.
“Today’s special circumstances, the director should agree.” Huo Cheng said.
Guo Bing said as he walked: “I agree, I will follow your arrangements today.”
Everyone chatted in Room 1 for a while and then went back. Huo Cheng and Wen Nuo first went to Room 3. When they arrived at the intersection, Wen Nuo was surprised to see the snowmen piled by Pei Xu and asked, “Who built the snowmen? They are piled so high.”
“Pei Xu made it.” Huo Cheng said with a smile, “Our Pei Xu has a childish heart.”
Hu Ying said: “It’s a pity that they don’t have eyes or noses, so they are not delicate. I will come over tomorrow to dress them up.”
Room No. 3 was very cold now, and the windows still leaked a little. Hu Ying hugged his quilt, put the toiletries in the bag, and asked Pei Xu: “If you really don’t want to go, then you will have to stay in the empty room alone today.”
Pei Xu said: “You can have a good sleep today.”
He sent Hu Ying and the others out, and then sat down alone in the quiet and dilapidated house.
He turned on his phone and played a song by Liu Shuang.
The song he played was very suitable for the occasion, it was “Mohe Dance Hall”.
If you have time, you will come and see me.
At this time, no one should come to see him.
As a result, he heard someone tapping on his door.
Then he heard Zhai Xingchen shout: “Brother Pei, are you asleep?”
Pei Xu immediately stood up and opened the door.
Zhai Xingchen came in despite the snowflakes, closed the door and said, “Why didn’t you turn on the light? I thought you had left with Brother Huo and the others.”
Pei Xu turned on the light and hurriedly patted the snowflakes on Zhai Xingchen and said, “Why are you here? It’s so cold.”
“I’m afraid Brother Huo and the others would have forgotten to light a fire for you.” He said and glanced at the fire kang, “Look, it really didn’t happen. I’m here.”
Pei Xu said: “I was just planning to light a fire.”
Zhai Xingchen squatted down and looked under the kang. Pei Xu quickly brought over the firewood and coal.
Zhai Xingchen helped Pei Xu make the fire. While he was making the fire, Zhai Xingchen noticed that Pei Xu’s hands were red.
His hands were big, with a broad frame, long fingers, and sharp joints, but they were red from the cold at the moment.
“Why are you so frozen?” Zhai Xingchen asked in surprise.
“It was freezing when I was making a snowman, but I didn’t pay much attention at first.”
“Does it hurt?” Zhai Xingchen asked.
Seeing the worried look on his face, Pei Xu felt very relieved and said, “It hurts.”
At this moment, they suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then Huo Cheng opened the door and came in.
“Look at my brain, I forgot to light a fire for you.” Brother Huo wrapped himself in the wind and snow and said with a smile, “Hey, Zhai Xingchen is also here.”
“I just came to see if you had made a fire.” Zhai Xingchen laughed.
“I remembered halfway through, so I ran back quickly.” Huo Cheng said and squatted down, “I’ll do it, I’ll do it. To make a fire, you still need Brother Huo!”
Pei Xu and Zhai Xingchen both laughed. Pei Xu reached out his hand and patted the snowflakes on Huo Cheng’s hat.
Huo Cheng quickly lit the firewood. Huo Cheng lit the fire and said, “You shouldn’t stay here. It would be great to stay with me. We can share a bed.”
“Do you think he is someone who can share a bed with others?” Zhai Xingchen complained.
“It’s possible to squeeze in, but I don’t think it’s necessary. Just stay up for a day.”
“Don’t speak too early. Be careful and you’ll stay here next time.”
Pei Xu smiled and said, “That’s your fate. Accept it.”
After the fire inside stabilized, Huo Cheng covered it with an iron sheet, clapped his hands and said, “Okay.”
“Thank you.” Pei Xu said.
“You’re welcome, let’s go, we’re all alone.” Huo Cheng said.
He and Zhai Xingchen went out together. When they reached the intersection, Huo Cheng stopped, looked at the two snowmen, and said to Zhai Xingchen: “You said that this kid Pei Xu is so lonely and cold, but he built two snowmen.”
It showed that he was also thirsty for love.
Zhai Xingchen said: “Tomorrow I will bring a carrot, put a nose on it, and add two eyes, and it will be perfect.”
They were about to say goodbye here. Huo Cheng said, “Let’s go, Teacher Zhai. This student will be relying on you tomorrow.”
Zhai Xingchen smiled and waved his hand: “Good night.”
“Good night.” Huo Cheng put his hands in his pockets, hunched his neck, and took two steps against the north wind. When he was far away, he looked back and saw snowflakes falling. Huo Cheng turned around and walked back. He started running as soon as he walked.
He was so happy today. Before going to bed, he could say good night to Zhai Xingchen alone, and he could learn to dance with him tomorrow.
His happiness was as grand as the heavy snow in the sky.
Room 3 warmed up quickly. Because the conditions here were relatively simple, there was no bathroom, and since he lived with Hu Ying, Pei Xu had not taken a shower for two days. He was sweating all over in the middle of the night last night. Fortunately, he was wearing thick clothes and couldn’t smell any sweat. Taking advantage of the fact that he was alone and the room was getting warmer, Pei Xu poured out the pot of hot water on the stove, took off his clothes and wiped himself with a towel.
It was past ten o’clock in the evening, and because there was music playing on his phone and the sound of water running, he didn’t hear any footsteps coming from outside at all.
Hu Ying ran back to get his cell phone. When he saw the light in the room, he excitedly knocked on the door: “Pei Xu.”
He pushed hard, eh, the bolt was actually on.
Pei Xu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly took his pants and put them on his legs: “Wait a minute.”
Hu Ying asked in confusion: “Are you asleep?”
As he spoke, he peeked through the crack in the door.
At this sight, his eyes widened and he turned his back.
A few minutes later, Pei Xu came over wrapped in a down jacket and opened the door for him.
“Why are you back?” Pei Xu asked.
Hu Ying was too embarrassed to look at Pei Xu’s face, so he just said: “I…I forgot my cell phone.”
“I just took a shower and there is water on the floor.” Pei Xu remained unfazed, still treating him like a wooden man.
He hurriedly went to the bedside to get his mobile phone. When he saw his rabbit was also lying on the bedside, holding it in his hand, he ran away in a panic.
It was snowing heavily outside, half a foot thick on the road, and it creaked when he stepped on it. As he ran, he thought, my dear, if Yan Zhi is a fierce tiger, Pei Xu is a huge dragon.
The current internal and external attacks are too serious.
If the dragon and tiger fight, what will happen to him?
Hu Ying ran all the way to the hotel.
Seeing him running over with his face flushed, Wen Nuo smiled and asked, “Why did you come back so quickly?”
Hu Ying said: “It was too cold, so I ran fast.”
He coughed twice as he spoke.
Looking up, he saw Huo Cheng coming out of the bathroom in pyjamas after taking a shower, wiping his hair and walking towards them.
