They all came out of the small theatre together. The temperature outside was even colder than yesterday. Although the wind was not strong, it was bone-chillingly cold.
Hu Ying said: “I thought it was cold inside the small theatre, but when I came out I realized it was even colder outside. I had wronged the small theatre.”
The staff member smiled and said: “Everyone please put on your hats and gloves, keep warm and pay attention to your feet.”
As soon as the staff member finished speaking, Duan Yihua slipped.
Zhai Xingchen was beside him and quickly grabbed him with one hand.
Duan Yihua only felt a pair of hands grabbing him and lifting him up forcefully.
“Thank you.” He turned his head and saw that it was Zhai Xingchen.
Zhai Xingchen let him go and said, “Be careful.”
Duan Yihua suddenly felt warm in his heart and said “Hmm”.
He felt that Zhai Xingchen seemed particularly quiet tonight.
Zhai Xingchen was usually very similar to Hu Ying, very sunny and lively, he had the liveliness of a young boy. But tonight, Zhai Xingchen seemed a lot more stable.
He looked particularly calm and upright.
“Our groups have been divided. Are we going to get the houses next?” Hu Ying asked.
Guo Bing said, “We’ll go back and divide it up later.”
“How can people still live in Room 3 in such a cold day? I definitely don’t want to live there anymore!” said Hu Ying.
Pei Xu and Yan Zhi were walking at the back. Pei Xu turned his head to look at Yan Zhi and asked, “Are you freezing cold?”
Yan Zhi’s nose was red from the cold, but he said stubbornly, “It’s OK.”
The cameraman behind him also slipped, but luckily the staff beside him caught him. Pei Xu looked back and saw that the cameraman was not wearing gloves and his hands were red from the cold, so he took off his gloves and handed them to him.
The cameraman said, “You wear it.”
Pei Xu was still the same, shaking the gloves in his hand.
The staff all knew his character, and the staff next to the camera took it and said, “Thank you, Brother Pei.”
Pei Xu put his hands into the pockets of his down jacket, continued walking forward, and cooperated with the camera staff to put on gloves.
“I can hardly feel my hands anymore”, said the cameraman.
Some of the roads were covered with snow that had not been cleared clean, and there was a crunching sound when people stepped on it. Wen Nuo suddenly shouted, “Look, it’s so beautiful.”
When everyone looked around, they saw that all the buildings in Little North Pole had lights on, but the roofs were covered with thick white snow almost half a meter high. The scene was like a fairy tale world.
It was cold here, but it was also really romantic.
Huo Cheng turned his head to look at Zhai Xingchen next to him, but happened to meet the eyes of Hu Ying on the other side of Zhai Xingchen.
When Huo Cheng saw Hu Ying’s unfriendly look, he raised his eyebrows.
Hu Ying immediately took Zhai Xingchen’s arm and said, “It’s so cold, Xingchen.”
Zhai Xingchen’s heart began to beat fast as Hu Ying held his arm.
He and Hu Ying could no longer be good brothers.
But after holding his hand for a few seconds, Hu Ying let go of it on his own.
Hu Ying suddenly felt embarrassed.
He lifted his scarf to cover the lower half of his face, followed Zhai Xingchen, and walked towards Room 1 step by step.
The wind was quite strong, so everyone stopped to get some shelter from the wind. Zhai Xingchen was just about to pull his hat deeper when he saw Pei Xu walking ahead of him.
The wind blowing on his face suddenly became much less, and Pei Xu’s thick down jacket was like a narrow wall.
He didn’t know if he happened to walk to this position accidentally or if he walked to the upwind side on purpose to block the wind for him.
After returning to Room 1, everyone drank some hot water and sat down at the dining table.
It was warm in Room 1, and they all took off their thick down jackets.
“Director, tell us how we are going to divide the rooms.”
What was important about dividing the rooms was the grouping of the guests. As for which house they lived in, Guo Bing thought it was not that important.
“Let’s draw lots.” Guo Bing said.
Everyone laughed and said, “Another draw of lots.”
“Fortunately there is no need for PK.” Wen Nuo said.
“You guys discuss it and each group should send one person out,” said Guo Bing.
Hu Ying looked at everyone and said, “Now Xingchen and Pei Xu are in one group, Huo Cheng and Duan Yihua are in one group, Wen Nuo and Yan Zhi are in one group, and Qingning and I are in one group, right?”
One group was blue, one group was red, and two groups were red and blue.
Zhai Xingchen looked at Pei Xu behind him, and Pei Xu said, “Come on.”
Zhai Xingchen raised his hand.
Finally, he, Hu Ying, Huo Cheng, and Wen Nuo stood up.
Guo Bing took four toothpicks, broke three of them, made four toothpicks of different lengths, and put them under four ceramic cups, and then began a dazzling series of operations.
It could be seen that Guo Bing was very happy tonight.
He smiled and said, “Choose. From longest to shortest, they are rooms 1234.”
“Then I’ll go first.” Hu Ying said.
As he spoke, he reached out his hand, selected one, opened it and saw that it was the longest.
“Yes!” Hu Ying said excitedly, “I don’t have to live in a shabby house anymore!”
Wen Nuo was asked to choose first. He took the one closest to the edge and when he opened it, he found that it was the shortest.
“Wen Nuo doesn’t need to move.” Hu Ying said, “It’s still the hotel.”
Huo Cheng let Zhai Xingchen choose first.
Zhai Xingchen chose one, and the remaining one went to Huo Cheng.
They both opened their hands at the same time, and Hu Ying clapped her hands and laughed, “Pei Xu doesn’t need to change rooms anymore!”
Zhai Xingchen chose room number three.
Huo Cheng chose room number two.
Huo Cheng actually wanted to switch with Zhai Xingchen. Firstly, Room 3 was the worst, and he didn’t want Zhai Xingchen to live in such a bad room. Secondly, Pei Xu had already lived in Room 3 for two days, and it was obvious that he didn’t get a good rest. He should be allowed to move to a room with slightly better conditions so that he could have a good rest.
But he had no say now. After all, Duan Yihua still lived with him, and he couldn’t be a good person alone.
Duan Yihua actually wanted to change too.
But Room 2 and Room 3 both had only one bed.
But Room 2 was a king-size bed room, and when he and Lin Qingning stayed there, they each had their own quilt, and they even slept for two days without touching each other, because the bed was big enough.
He had seen the heated bed in Room 3, which was much smaller. Huo Cheng was tall, so his feet would probably be exposed if he slept there. It was okay for Pei Xu and Zhai Xingchen to sleep together, as they were both guests from the Blue Team. He always felt it was not good for him and Huo Cheng to sleep on a bed that was too small.
After all, they were a sensitive red and blue combination.
But he couldn’t help but ask in the end: “Do you want to switch with us?”
When Huo Cheng heard this, he immediately asked, “Do you want to change?”
Zhai Xingchen felt that there was not much difference between Room 2 and Room 3. Moreover, his room was the worst, and it was not good to let others live in the worst room while he lived in a better place. He said, “No need. I just lived in the best room. It’s not bad to experience the worst room.”
He was feeling a bit desperate ever since he knew that he and Pei Xu were going to live together.
There were Shuras everywhere, where could he escape to?
He didn’t have much choice.
“You can live in our room number one.” Hu Ying said, “You can come and sleep with us. There are four of us. If we squeeze together, there will still be room for two beds. Anyway, I don’t have mysophobia.”
By saying this, he stepped on Yan Zhi.
“Then let’s follow the program rules.” Huo Cheng said immediately.
Did Hu Ying want to share a bed with Zhai Xingchen?
The two single beds in room 1 were so small!
“Yes, everyone should respect our check-in rules.” Guo Bing said, “It’s getting late, and everyone is tired today. Let’s move out early and rest early.”
Everyone went back to their own rooms to pack up. Pei Xu didn’t need to move, so he stayed in Room 1 to help Zhai Xingchen. Wen Nuo didn’t need to move either, so he stayed as well, planning to leave with Yan Zhi.
Because Yan Zhi was still there, Pei Xu and Wen Nuo still did not enter their bedroom. They were waiting in the living room outside.
Wen Nuo glanced at Pei Xu and saw that Pei Xu was holding the water cup, tapping the table lightly with his slender fingers.
“Ding…ding…ding…”
“Why are your hands so cold?” Wen Nuo asked.
Pei Xu stretched out his hand and looked at his fingers. His little finger was even more swollen.
He stood up and asked Zhai Xingchen: “Have you packed up?”
“Almost.” Zhai Xingchen said.
Pei Xu said, “Give me one of the suitcases first. I’ll take it back for you first.”
Zhai Xingchen came out carrying a suitcase and said, “There are some toiletries, I’ll pack them.”
Pei Xu hummed and said, “I’ll send it for you first.”
Zhai Xingchen pursed his lips and glanced at Pei Xu. Pei Xu’s expression was really very calm.
This dullness made him feel that everything during the day was just an illusion.
But no matter what, Pei Xu’s calmness soothed his somewhat confused heart.
He thought that living with Pei Xu was better than living with Yan Zhi, Huo Cheng or Hu Ying.
At least Pei Xu was a very indifferent person.
God, he had learned to comfort himself.
Pei Xu came out of Room 1 carrying Zhai Xingchen’s suitcase and went to Room 3 alone.
He walked very fast, faster and faster, and finally he just ran. The night was so cold that his panting was very obvious in the darkness. The cold wind filled his lungs, and he coughed twice, but his eyes were so bright.
Hu Ying had just packed his luggage when he saw Pei Xu coming in carrying a suitcase.
“Are you ready?” Pei Xu asked him.
Hu Ying said, “Yes.”
He had a lot of luggage.
Pei Xu directly helped him carry two suitcases: “Let’s go.”
Hu Ying said: “My suitcase is very heavy.”
“It’s okay.” Pei Xu said breathlessly.
Hu Ying hurriedly followed out, carrying his bag and pushing another suitcase. He walked behind Pei Xu, and the cold wind blew over him.
Pei Xu stayed in the most dilapidated house again, but he didn’t look depressed at all.
He would be so angry that he would die.
They helped each other move, and it took them nearly an hour to move to the new house.
In the end, everyone stayed in Room 1, drank some hot porridge and chatted for a while.
“Where is Brother Pei?” Wen Nuo asked.
Pei Xu was no longer in Room 1.
“Yes, where is Pei Xu?” asked the staff.
Someone pointed to the monitor in Room 3 and said, “Working.”
On the surveillance screen, Pei Xu was working hard. He put the kettle on the stove, put on new sheets and quilt covers, squatted beside the kang, and fumbled to start a fire to heat the kang.
“It’s not easy, but Brother Pei has finally welcomed spring.” said the staff.
“Some are happy while others are sad.”
“It’s just a different style.” Screenwriter Liu sighed.
Guo Bing looked at her.
Screenwriter Liu said: “Everyone has a different personality and does different things. Some are romantic and passionate, some are rough but delicate, and some are gentle and silent. How can you choose?”
Guo Bing started laughing.
“It’s more beautiful this way. Why would we create a Shura scene when only one flower stands out? We should let a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred carrots and cabbages should bloom.”
Pei Xu worked hard for a long time and finally got the fire started. He threw the coal in, and the flames made his hands hurt and itch. He squatted beside it, and the firelight reflected on his face, which turned red, and his face and ears also turned red.
He stood up, put on a cotton hat, zipped up his pants and went out. A moment later he appeared in the inn where the program crew was staying.
“Do you have any unused quilts?”
Guo Bing asked: “Don’t you have enough quilts?”
“Give me another one.” Pei Xu said.
The program team prepared sufficient supplies and gave him another quilt.
“What does he want the quilt for?”
“Who knows?”
Everyone watched the monitor, and soon they saw Pei Xu coming back with a quilt. He took apart the quilt and spread another layer on the kang.
He was actually not very good at making the bed and folding the quilt. After making the bed for a long time, he probably still felt it was too uncomfortable, so he simply folded the quilt and only made the inside half of the bed.
“Oh, so Zhai Xingchen is like the princess from the Princess and the Pea, right? He is afraid that the bed is too hard and will hurt him.” Guo Bing joked.
“I don’t know if Zhai Xingchen is like the Princess from the Princess and the Pea, but in Brother Stinky Face’s heart, he is definitely one.” The person next to him laughed.
“How arrogant he was in the beginning, how attentive he is now. I want to see how attentive he can be tonight. You guys keep a close eye on him, edit it out and put it in the main film!” said Guo Bing.
