Unlike Huo Cheng’s dodging, Yan Zhi did not avoid his gaze when he looked into his eyes. Without the obstruction of lenses, his eyes looked clearer, as if he had a lot to say to him.
This time he lowered his head first.
Yan Zhi couldn’t help it any longer.
He felt that he had endured to the limit last night. Suppressing emotions and desires too much would be counterproductive, and he didn’t know what it would be like if he collapsed.
He was a person with extreme emotions and desires.
He couldn’t go on like this. Even if he didn’t make it clear, at least he couldn’t always interact with Zhai Xingchen as a friend. If he did this for a long time, they would really become just friends.
What was the point of loving Zhai Xingchen if he couldn’t feel his love?
He had to go one step further.
But love made people timid. Even for a person like him who was wild and unrestrained at heart, when it came to taking this step, he was still very nervous and hesitant.
Zhai Xingchen was a guest from the blue team, which meant that Zhai Xingchen had the same attributes as them.
Although outsiders thought that the division of top and bottom attributes in reality was not so clear, but in fact, for Zhai Xingchen, leaving the four beautiful and outstanding red guests whom he didn’t like and running over to fall in love with a blue guest, it couldn’t be said to be impossible, but at least there were more difficulties.
If it was possible, it could only be the result of long-term love.
With feelings, attributes were not that important.
So both he and Huo Cheng were very restrained.
They had always had a balance, which was less than lovers but more than friendship. Then they actively showed their affection and tried to have more contact with Zhai Xingchen to slowly cultivate feelings.
But this was a dating variety show, and the show would only last for a month. Not only was the time short, but there was also the possibility that Zhai Xingchen may fall in love with one of the red-side guests like Hu Ying at any time.
Although according to the rules, they could not confirm their relationship until the final confession day of the show, and they could not refuse any date request, but once Zhai Xingchen fell in love with someone else, it would be too late to do anything.
Especially since they would be assigned houses after the performance today, if Zhai Xingchen was assigned to the same house with Hu Ying or Huo Cheng, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But letting Zhai Xingchen feel his love was also risky. So how much to express, how to express it, and when to express it were all very important.
He was still thinking.
He took a sip of water and looked at Zhai Xingchen again.
Zhai Xingchen was confused.
Because he felt that there was something wrong with the way Huo Cheng and Yan Zhi were looking at him.
This discovery really surprised him. He lowered his head and tried hard to think about the plot of the original book while eating.
He had only read part of the original novel, but when introducing the characters at the beginning, he saw that the author defined the character of Zhai Xingchen from different people’s perspectives.
For example, the psychological descriptions of the four red team guests in the original novel were very detailed. When they saw Zhai Xingchen, their evaluation was: “Too good-looking, not aggressive enough.”
“Although Zhai Xingchen is very pretty, has a good temper, and is capable, I choose Pei Xu.”
“Zhai Xingchen is very good, but Pei Xu and Yan Zhi are obviously the best for the red guests.”
“He has a great personality, we can be good sisters.”
And so on.
What impressed him most was Duan Yihua’s avoidance of Zhai Xingchen. The whole CP line was a tragic story of a poor student who was infatuated with the oldest big boss, but the big boss just hoped that he would quickly like someone else.
Even the audience of this show automatically ignored Zhai Xingchen and Wen Nuo. What they wanted to watch was the love-hate relationship between wealthy second-generations, and they all saw that he and Wen Nuo “were only arrested to make up the numbers in order to pass the review.”
His role was not even as big as Wen Nuo. Many people still liked Wen Nuo as a victim.
Even the author said, “No one on the blue team considered him a love rival, and no one on the red team was interested in him. Zhai Xingchen completely played the role of a tool.”
Yan Zhi was the male lead of Haitang, Pei Xu was the male lead of Jinjiang family, Huo Cheng was the male lead of Dian family, and only he was not the male lead of any family. He remembered that there was a period of time in the original novel where when the blue guests did not want to form a CP with the red guests, they would pull him over as a shield, and the good brother character would not fall. When the red guests did not want to form a CP with the blue guests they did not like, they would also choose him, and the good sister character would be established.
Sometimes the author wrote his role a little more, and there were a lot of comments saying:
I don’t want to see Zhai Xingchen.
Zhai Xingchen has too many scenes. Can’t you write more about Hu Ying?
I really think Zhai Xingchen’s role is boring. There is no spark between him and the red guest at all.
If this wasn’t a cannon fodder male supporting role, what was it!
When did the plot deviate to this extent?
Is it because I’m not aggressive enough that I was noticed by the blue guests?
After all, based on his experience of reading literature, if the character of a young, beautiful male student who danced was a bottom, it was obviously more in line with the mainstream aesthetic than if the character was a top.
He always focused his attention on the red guests and never thought about the possibility of the blue guests forming a blue-blue CP.
It was as if he had never been interested in Pei Xu and Huo Cheng, or Huo Cheng and Yan Zhi.
Because no matter in the first three seasons or in the novels he read, he always thought in the red and blue CP way. In the BL novels, fans would scold those who supported the top or bottom CP. In addition, he transmigrated into a book, which changed his whole world view.
He lived in a novel, he was a cannon fodder, a supporting actor and a tool.
Maybe this perception blinded him?
But that was not right. If Huo Cheng and Yan Zhi both liked him, how could Hu Ying, who was so impetuous and jealous, still have such a good relationship with him?
As he thought about this, he glanced at Hu Ying who was standing beside him. Hu Ying said to him, “Xingchen, this tofu is delicious.”
You see, the attitude is still very good.
He looked at Hu Ying and the others.
Hu Ying was stunningly beautiful, even without makeup, he was still more beautiful than many young actors in the entertainment industry. He had a good personality, a good figure, was rich and hardworking, and his personality was as vivid as fire.
Looking at Lin Qingning again, a young university professor, good-looking and with outstanding temperament.
Duan Yihua was a representative of successful people, mature, steady, handsome and generous elite.
All of them were of top-level configuration and were excellent even among the best.
Zhai Xingchen felt like his brain was a mess.
Forget it, it was just a look, and he shouldn’t think too much about it.
But there were some thoughts that if you don’t think about them, you won’t think about them at all. But once you have this thought, you can’t stop imagining it.
