Zhai Xingchen played “Love Song” completely.
Not as good as he had played in the practice room before, but good enough for the performance.
It was pleasing to watch a handsome guy playing the piano, not to mention that netizens had never thought that he could play the piano before!
They just thought he looked so handsome when playing the piano and he played the piano so well!
“Zhai Xingchen is going to be popular again this time,” said a staff member.
“Dancing and playing the piano are two different things, one is active and the other is quiet. He has mastered both. It would be strange if he didn’t attract fans.”
“Hahahaha, his eyes are wide open when you look at Huo Cheng.”
After playing “Love Song”, Zhai Xingchen bowed to the audience and then walked off the stage.
Huo Cheng was the first to greet him: “Xingchen!”
Zhai Xingchen had just come back to his senses from the performance when he met Huo Cheng’s burning gaze.
Huo Cheng said: “You were so amazing!”
Forgive him for being at a loss for words, he couldn’t think of any better words to flatter him. He just felt that Zhai Xingchen was glowing!
The live broadcast cameras were all on the stage, and only Huo Cheng and his group were captured from a distance. However, Huo Cheng’s smiling face was still seen by all netizens. Although they couldn’t hear what they said, Huo Cheng’s excited expression said it all.
Tsk…tsk…tsk…, look at Huo Cheng’s mouth that can’t close.
He can dance, play the piano, is handsome, and has a good personality. I would love him too.
Looking back now, he must have been planning this when he first invited Zhai Xingchen to go flyboarding together!
You underestimated Huo Dabao. He was obviously interested in Zhai Xingchen the first day he met him. Have you forgotten the look he gave Zhai Xingchen in the back seat?
Is it because of his appearance? I feel that Huo Cheng looks very lustful.
A style full of hormones, it feels like he can hold Zhai Xingchen in one hand! Mars CP is real!
Beep…beep…beep…, if Mars fans make dirty jokes again, I’m going to call the police!
Guo Bing looked away from the bullet screen, looked at Zhai Xingchen with a smile and said, “Now that the performance is over, go sit in the first row.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Zhi went to put Zhai Xingchen’s down jacket on Zhai Xingchen’s shoulders.
Zhai Xingchen looked back and saw that it was Yan Zhi. He quickly reached out to put on his down jacket and said, “Thank you.”
Wrapped in a thick down jacket, he immediately came out of the backstage, walked to the first row of the audience in the dim light and sat down.
Guo Bing immediately turned around to look at the camera behind him and asked with his eyes: “Did you take pictures of everything?”
The cameraman gave him an OK sign.
Guo Bing couldn’t help but grin.
He felt that Zhai Xingchen was a very versatile person. When he stood together with Huo Cheng, who came from a grassroots background and had a tough temperament, they were a tough guy with a handsome man, a tough guy with a tender heart. When he stood together with Yan Zhi, who had a noble temperament and was a gentleman and handsome, they were a perfect match made in heaven.
He was happy to see Zhai Xingchen with anyone! And he thought they all were a good match!
For these guests, Zhai Xingchen’s performance was basically a complete success, but this brought great pressure to Lin Qingning who was following behind.
He cared too much about his reputation and he thought he would most likely be the last one among the eight guests.
Needless to say, among Pei Xu and others, Huo Cheng may not be a particularly good dancer, but if he was not a good dancer, he could go for a funny route, which was not shameful, but was in line with Huo Cheng’s personality. But he was different. He had always acted like a highly educated person, the kind who was talented, cultured and well-educated, and he would be performing with a musical instrument. It would be embarrassing if he stumbled.
He had thought that the song “Love Song” was so difficult that even if Zhai Xingchen could play it, he would not be outstanding, and he should not be under much pressure since he was behind him. But after watching Zhai Xingchen’s performance, he realized that Zhai Xingchen, a handsome man who became famous for dancing, only needed to sit in front of the piano in a formal suit with a beam of light shining on him, and he would win!
The more nervous Lin Qingning became, the more he wanted to go to the bathroom. He slung his accordion over his shoulder and felt like he didn’t know where to put his hands.
“Qingning, it’s your turn.” The staff urged.
Lin Qingning secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
Hu Ying noticed his nervousness and comforted him, “Don’t be too nervous, just treat it as a hobby.”
Lin Qingning smiled and said, “I feel like I’m going to be embarrassed.”
He stretched out his palms to show Hu Ying, and Hu Ying saw that his palms were sweaty.
Lin Qingning’s expression changed. He was too concerned and became flustered. He kept walking back and forth with his accordion.
“Do you want to postpone it?” Guo Bing suddenly asked.
Lin Qingning was stunned for a moment and asked, “Is it okay?”
He immediately said with surprise: “Can it be postponed? I want to get more familiar with it.”
It was good to practice it more than once!
“Then let me do it.” Huo Cheng said immediately.
Hu Ying asked the director: “If Huo Cheng goes up first instead of Qingning, will the allocation of houses also be changed?”
Guo Bing hadn’t thought of this, and when he heard what Hu Ying said, he immediately said, “Of course we have to change it, we will divide it according to the order of performance.”
Lin Qingning obviously hasn’t sorted out his relationship with Pei Xu yet. Letting him live with Zhai Xingchen now was obviously not as good as letting Huo Cheng live with Zhai Xingchen.
Think about Huo Cheng’s burning eyes, and then think about the sparks that might happen if the two of them lived together!
Hu Ying said immediately. “Why not arrange it in the order we decided at the beginning? Didn’t Pei Xu and Qingning switch places before? Let them switch back now. The piano is on the stage now, so there’s no need to move it.”
Huo Cheng asked quietly, “Are we going to have two piano performances in a row?”
“It’s a good opportunity for comparison. It’s the same instrument, but they have two completely different styles,” said Hu Ying.
Huo Cheng asked Pei Xu: “What do you think?”
Pei Xu’s eyes showed no emotion, he just said: “If everyone agrees, I can go up.”
“Then let Pei Xu go ahead,” Hu Ying said.
As he spoke, he looked at Duan Yihua, Yan Zhi and the others.
Yan Zhi said: “I have no objection.”
Duan Yihua looked at Huo Cheng, then at Pei Xu, and said, “You decide.”
Huo Cheng also knew that Hu Ying and Yan Zhi were on guard against him.
Forget it, forget it, let Pei Xu go.
“If Pei Xu is here, then Pei Xu and Xingchen will share a room. While Hu Ying and Qingning will share a room.” Guo Bing said.
“Okay, it’s time for Pei Xu and I to separate for a while. We can’t always live together.”
He didn’t realize that he was killing two birds with one stone! Not only did he successfully block Huo Cheng’s secret thoughts, but he could also take the opportunity to get rid of Pei Xu, the iceberg man!
“Then let Pei Xu go ahead.” Guo Bing said, suppressing his excitement.
Zhai Xingchen was sitting in the audience, zipping up his down jacket, when he saw someone walking onto the stage from the entrance. In the dim light from the stage, he noticed that the man’s figure didn’t look like Lin Qingning at all.
He seemed to be taller and more upright than Lin Qingning, and he seemed to be wearing a black suit.
The leather shoes stepped on the wooden floor, making a cool sound. A beam of light shone down, and he saw Pei Xu walking towards him.
Zhai Xingchen was stunned on the spot for a moment.
Why is it Pei Xu?
Wasn’t the second person to appear going to be Lin Qingning!!!
At the same time, netizens who were watching the live broadcast also saw Pei Xu.
It’s Stinky Face Pei!
What is Pei Xu going to perform? Why don’t I see him bringing any musical instruments?
Dancing, magic? It can’t be martial arts, right?
Pei Xu boxing. This scene is so beautiful that I can’t imagine it!
Then everyone saw Pei Xu sitting down directly in front of the piano.
F**k! He is also a piano player!
Ahhhhh…, Pei Xu actually got his own show!!!
I am guilty. I am a fickle woman. I just thought Zhai Xingchen was very suitable for playing the piano, but Pei Xu is too handsome!
I just want to see Pei Xu play the piano!
Zhai Xingchen stared blankly at Pei Xu on the stage.
Pei Xu was very cold, with almost no expression on his face. The lights on the stage shone quietly on him, and the dark background around him intensified the frost that enveloped him.
He played “On the Shores of Lake Baikal”.
It was a very sad song. The piano music was particularly quiet and sad, and was completely different from “Love Song” in style.
If Zhai Xingchen’s playing of “Love Song” was an unexpected contrast and a brilliant show of skill, then Pei Xu’s playing of “On the Banks of Lake Baikal” formed a high degree of unity with his own temperament. He was just like the piano he played, with heavy snow falling everywhere, vast icy lakes stretching for thousands of miles, and birch forests standing quietly and straight.
Pei Xu handled this piece of music as simply as it could be. He didn’t even have the slightest intention of showing off his skills, and there was no expression on his face. But it was Pei Xu who captured the hearts of so many people.
When everyone was trying their best to show off, he just remained simple. But he played the piano so well, and Zhai Xingchen had seen his piano skills.
After the song was finished, the comments were not as many as when Zhai Xingchen performed, and there were no groundhogs chirping, but almost all of them were expressing their feelings:
So handsome. This stinky-faced man.
If Zhai Xingchen attracted the kind of distant and grand love that fans had for their idols, and that audiences had for their guests, then Pei Xu attracted the irrepressible heartbeat.
Even though he was just sitting there quietly, playing such a simple piece of music, he remained serious.
But after watching it, people just wanted to cover their chest and say quietly: “What a handsome man.”
This piece of music is suitable for him to play.
It sounds so good, I think I can listen to it over and over again.
As expected of Pei Huanong’s son, this face, this temperament.
He has the temperament of Lake Baikal, cold, clear, and vast.
Zhai Xingchen clapped along with the audience in the dark. Two minutes later, he noticed Pei Xu walking towards him in the dark.
He sat up straighter and put on the hood of his down jacket, then suddenly realized that this down jacket was a gift from Pei Xu.
During the few seconds he walked towards Zhai Xingchen, Pei Xu was completely shrouded in darkness and could only see Zhai Xingchen’s vague figure.
But his joy spread in the darkness and his heart was trembling, but his expression was surprisingly calm. He sat down next to Zhai Xingchen, and on the stage, a staff member was moving the piano, making a noisy sound.
Zhai Xingchen sat there and wondered why Pei Xu was the second one?
What about Lin Qingning?
Did they change positions temporarily? Or did Pei Xu ask for the change himself?
What about dividing the house?
He was not going to sleep with Pei Xu!!!
His heart, which had just calmed down due to the song “On the Shores of Lake Baikal”, instantly climbed on a roller coaster and took him to see God.
He couldn’t help but turn around and ask Pei Xu: “Did you switch with Qingning?”
Pei Xu moved closer to him: “Hmm?”
What the hell are you saying “hmm” about? Do you think your subwoofer is cool enough?
“Wasn’t Qingning the second person to appear?” Zhai Xingchen asked in a low voice.
“He was a little nervous, so he switched with me,” said Pei Xu.
“That night…” Zhai Xingchen’s Adam’s apple slid, “We divided the house…”
“Director Guo said that the house should be changed as well,” said Pei Xu.
In the darkness, he couldn’t see Pei Xu’s face clearly. He could only see his flashing eyes, reflecting a little bit of the light from the stage.
“We’re going to live together again.” Pei Xu said.
His voice was soft, but seemed to be coated with honey.
Zhai Xingchen sat up straight and stared blankly at the stage. The music of “Spring in the North” had already sounded, and the whole stage was lit up. He brushed off his hat and smoothed his hair back.
He was wearing leather shoes, which were freezing cold. When his feet were cold, his whole body became cold. He thought about the four houses, which had not been divided yet, and he didn’t know how to live.
He felt his feet were a little painful from the cold.
Once his feet got cold, it would take him until midnight to warm them up.
