Pei Xu was… inviting him to watch the fireworks?
He looked at Pei Xu.
He found that Pei Xu’s ears were red again!
But Pei Xu’s expression was so calm and he didn’t even look at him.
He was quite calm, but it was a pity that Zhai Xingchen already knew everything now!
His physique, which easily turned red when he was emotional, betrayed him!
How could the male lead from Jinjiang invite the cannon fodder male supporting role to watch the fireworks?
Looking at the stars and the moon and talking about life ideals, the Jinjiang male protagonist would only do this with the person he liked.
Did Pei Xu really like him?
He coughed lightly and asked, “Want to watch the fireworks?”
“Um.”
“There are probably few people in this world who don’t want to watch fireworks, right? Are there any fireworks here?”
Pei Xu said, “Maybe there is. I can ask around.”
“Okay… we can all go together then.”
Pei Xu said “hmm”.
Zhai Xingchen pursed his lips and turned to look at Pei Xu.
Pei Xu reached out and flipped through the music sheet, turned to Love Song, and said, “You should start practicing.”
Zhai Xingchen was actually a little confused. Although he had foreseen it before, he was still confused when he really discovered it. He put his fingers on the keys and began to play “Love Song”.
While playing it, he wondered why.
WHY!
He played several wrong notes in succession, and each time he made a mistake, Pei Xu would tap gently. He stared at Pei Xu’s fingers, and Pei Xu suddenly said, “Look at the music score.”
Zhai Xingchen pursed his lips and glanced across the music score.
His face was as calm as Pei Xu’s, and his heart was as turbulent as Pei Xu’s.
At this moment, he suddenly heard Hu Ying’s voice: “Who plays the piano so beautifully?”
He turned his head and saw Hu Ying walking in with a smile on his face.
Of course Hu Ying was just flattering him.
Actually, he could play the piano a little bit. He learned piano when he was a child, but in the end he was more interested in the violin.
“Did you see that? There are so many people outside.”
“Where?” Zhai Xingchen asked.
“They’re outside.” Hu Ying said as he walked to the window and looked out. “I estimate there are about a thousand people. Even the small theatre may not be able to accommodate them all.”
Zhai Xingchen stood up, walked to the window and looked out. As expected, he saw groups of people coming to the small theatre. In the snowy world, there were black crowds, and in the distance was the sunset and the golden sky. The cold mist in the air seemed not to have completely dissipated. The mountains in the distance were hidden, and only the outline of the snow-capped mountains could be vaguely seen.
Far more people came than they expected.
“I heard there will be a live broadcast tonight.” Hu Ying said, “and tonight’s performance will only be broadcasted live and will not be edited into the main film.”
Zhai Xingchen was stunned for a moment: “Why?”
“I heard that our show this season is too popular, and now video websites have more say than traditional TV stations, and they pay more, so Xinghai.com wants to have special online content, so the program team chose tonight’s show to be broadcast live.”
“Aren’t Xinghai TV and Xinghai.com part of the same company?” Zhai Xingchen asked.
“They are a family, but there must be disagreements and conflicts within. The people in charge are not the same people, but they are all registered under the name of Xinghai. But I just heard from the program team that tonight’s live broadcast will be a big event, unlike before when it was just a warm-up for the main film.”
Zhai Xingchen suddenly noticed someone standing behind him. He turned his head slightly and saw Pei Xu standing behind him. Pei Xu looked outside and was almost touching his shoulder.
He quickly turned his head away again.
Pei Xu said: “So many people.”
Zhai Xingchen lowered his eyes slightly and smelled the faint mint scent on Pei Xu.
Ah, he could no longer record this dating variety show in a relaxed and happy manner.
He still liked to be a supporting actor.
At this moment, he really had a lot of questions and a lot of things to say, and he really wanted to talk to someone.
But he found that even though it was just him and Hu Ying, he was too embarrassed to confide in Hu Ying.
Was he now a love rival of the red guests?
Oh my god, he got goosebumps.
He put himself in Hu Ying’s shoes.
Okay, okay, Zhai Xingchen, you can do it. I treated you as a good sister, but you stole my love target. You always advertised yourself as a guest of the blue team, and you are the 1, right? You, a scheming green tea fake 1, actually stole my man!!”
God bless him, he really didn’t expect that any of the blue guests would be interested in him, he didn’t even think about it in this regard.
So he and Hu Ying were now love rivals?
In fact, just now, he was still in a dazed state of not being able to believe the facts in front of him. He felt more confused and bewildered, but his emotions were not intense. But at this moment, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the situation was serious!
Now he gradually realized what situation this incident had put him in.
He thought that if Hu Ying and Duan Yihua knew that the person that blue guests like Huo Cheng liked was actually him, they would be surprised.
Who could have thought this would happen.
He couldn’t have imagined it, and the red team guests certainly couldn’t have imagined it.
He practiced the piano in anxiety, while Hu Ying was praising him beside him.
He felt that Hu Ying was very enthusiastic towards him.
This was the passion for good sisters.
But the better Hu Ying treated him, the more nervous he became. He couldn’t imagine how disappointed and angry Hu Ying would be the moment he knew the truth. He forgot to look at the score while playing. His heart was in turmoil, his mind was blank, his fingers mechanically played the keys, faster and faster, his white fingers slid across the keys, “Love Song” gradually reached its climax, his fingers repeatedly played three of the keys, the same melody was played repeatedly, but the emotions and rhythms were piled up layer by layer, each layer more intense and more rapid than the last. He pursed his lips tightly, the sound of the piano accumulated to the climax, and finally it burst down like a flood.
After he finished playing “Love Song”, even Pei Xu was shocked.
The intense emotions, entanglements, and struggles were so overwhelming!
“You are so awesome, Zhai Xingchen!” Hu Ying’s eyes lit up.
Woohoo, he really was becoming more and more obsessed with Zhai Xingchen.
Huo Cheng was right, Zhai Xingchen was a treasure!
Zhai Xingchen turned his head to look at Hu Ying and saw Hu Ying’s enthusiastic eyes.
Oh my god.
Pei Xu knew that Zhai Xingchen had deliberately concealed his piano-playing ability, but he did not expect that Zhai Xingchen played the piano so well just now.
Piano was like all the other musical instruments. When you are proficient to a certain level, the competition was no longer about piano skills, but about more subtle emotional processing. There was a saying in the piano world that ordinary people played the piano with their hands, while masters played the piano with their emotions. But he always felt that Zhai Xingchen put too little emotion into playing the piano, especially when playing crazy and passionate songs like “Love Song”.
Listening to him playing “Love Song”, you could tell that his mind was very peaceful and pure.
But this time he played the piece in one breath, as if a storm was coming and Shura Field was about to arrive.
“This performance was particularly good.” Pei Xu praised from the bottom of his heart.
Zhai Xingchen looked towards Pei Xu quietly, and their eyes met.
Could such a cold person have such pure and loving eyes?
Young and introverted, you could see his burning heart from his passionate eyes.
Hu Ying was right next to them.
Oh my god.
Zhai Xingchen’s palms were sweating. He crossed his hands and wiped the back of his hands. The next moment, Pei Xu took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to him.
Good…thoughtful.
He, a man like an iceberg, will only show his unique consideration, tenderness, and romance to the one he loves.
He recalled the thunderous lines in the original novel.
The sun was about to set, and the program crew came over to inform them to go for dinner.
“So early?” Zhai Xingchen asked.
“It’s getting late. After dinner everyone has to go back and change clothes. Some guests may need to put on makeup because they need to be on camera. The audience has started to enter the venue one after another.” said the staff.
The show started at seven o’clock, and the small theatre’s regular performance lasted about an hour, so they would probably have to go on stage at eight o’clock.
“Let’s go.” Hu Ying said excitedly, hugging his arms, “I feel like tonight will be exciting!”
When the three of them came out of the piano room, they met Lin Qingning.
Lin Qingning rubbed his sore shoulders and said with a smile, “Time is too tight. I keep getting stuck when playing the accordion. Xingchen, how is your practice of Love Song going?”
He was wearing black-framed glasses, looking a little tired, but also gentle.
Before Zhai Xingchen could answer him, Huo Cheng came out of the dance studio and said with a smile, “It’s okay. I’ll be there for you.”
Then Zhai Xingchen saw Huo Cheng looking at him with a smile. He was so tall and straight, with a gleam in his eyes.
When they walked to the door of the dance studio, they saw Duan Yihua coming out of the room on the other side. He put his down jacket on his arm and wore only a grey-white turtleneck sweater, looking noble and handsome.
There were footsteps coming from the stairs, and then he saw Yan Zhi walking in wearing a long coat and carrying a classic LV handbag. He was handsome and gentle, followed by Wen Nuo wearing a red scarf.
There was light coming through the window on one side of the corridor, and the cold corridor seemed to have turned warmer, but Zhai Xingchen felt so cold that he wanted to shiver.
He pursed his lips and put on the hood of his down jacket. His pure and fair face was lost in the light and shadow. The awakened Zhai Xingchen could suddenly see through every detail and catch every subtle look.
He…he had fallen into the Shura Field!
