I’m curious who it could be; the production team really doesn’t provide any information at all.
By evening, Chi Xingyu, who hadn’t posted on Weibo for ages, finally made a post.
The Weibo post only contained a scenic photo.
Comment section:
—— ???
—— After so many days without a livestream, he just gives a scenic photo?
—— Scenic photo? Are you brushing us off? Please give a selfie instead.
—— Wait, how come Chi’s IP location is at the EV team training base in S City instead of H City?
The author has something to say:
Chi: He doesn’t like me, but that doesn’t stop me from being a little dog.
This comment quickly attracted others’ attention.
—— S City? I heard ‘Heartbeat’s’ filming also takes place there, could he be a flying guest?
This comment received a lot of likes and replies, saying, “Wuwuwu, my dead CP is suddenly attacking me” and “Chi, if you don’t come soon, your wife will really disappear.”
Of course, there were also many opposing voices.
—— Reject pairing nonsense! Chi hasn’t interacted with that little streamer for days, how can they still take advantage like this?
—— Isn’t he just trying to hitch a ride on Chi’s popularity to gain a wave of traffic? It’s disgusting. Our Chi is a genuine heterosexual; how could he join that kind of boy-boy romance show?
Thus, the comment section erupted into a heated debate, completely unbeknownst to Tong Sui, who was listening to their arrangements.
“I have some errands to run this afternoon; I probably won’t be back that soon,” Jiang Ciyuan said. “We might need to send someone else to pick them up.”
“Neither Xiao Sui nor I have a driver’s license, so we can’t go,” Sang Cai said. “Doctor Zhou and Xiu Xian need to prepare dinner, so it’s not really suitable for us.”
The group then looked at Zhong Yi, “How about you go?”
“Me?” Zhong Yi said, raising his head disdainfully from washing the dishes by the sink. “My front passenger seat is not for people.”
Tong Sui remembered what he said; Zhong Yi really shouldn’t have allowed anyone to sit in the passenger seat of that car.
Thus, she walked over and sat in front of him, “Then I promise you that after you pick someone up, I’ll sit in your passenger seat next time, okay?”
As she spoke, her gaze naturally landed on Zhong Yi’s face. His eyes were exceptionally clear and striking, exuding a mysterious allure that drew her in.
Zhong Yi, the type that prefers gentle persuasion over force, relented, “Fine, just go.”
Though Zhong Yi’s character was a bit unreliable, his driving skills were quite good.
So Tong Sui felt assured and went to rest.
Zhong Yi obtained the flight information from the production team, changed into a new set of clothes, and drove his car towards the airport.
While waiting at a traffic light, he pondered over the name of the flying guest.
Chi Xingyu.
It sounded pretty nice—just a bit familiar, but he couldn’t quite place it.
However, Zhong Yi didn’t think much of it and drove straight to the airport.
He quickly spotted the boy waiting at the airport entrance; despite his understated black outfit and black mask, his height and proportion were still quite striking.
He looked down at his phone; despite seeming young, his brows and eyes conveyed a deep coldness.
When the camera focused on him, the comments went wild.
—— No way, it really is Chi Xingyu???
—— Wuwuwuwu, I can see my CP resurrected again!!
—— This season is going to be amazing!
—— Chi Xingyu is definitely here to find Sui Bao; otherwise, he wouldn’t even need to join a variety show.
Zhong Yi rested his hand on the car window, “Chi Xingyu?”
The boy playing with his phone looked up. Upon realizing it was Zhong Yi, the frown on his face deepened slightly. He tossed his phone into his pocket and pushed his suitcase toward Zhong Yi.
Chi Xingyu’s movements of placing his luggage in the car, getting in, and buckling his seatbelt were all done fluidly. “Nice car.”
Zhong Yi: “…”
This guy is way too ungrateful.
Chi Xingyu removed his mask and asked, “How long until we get there?”
Zhong Yi glanced at him. Well, he didn’t quite measure up to Zhong Yi, but still, he wasn’t bad. The longer he looked, the more oddly familiar he seemed.
Noticing Zhong Yi’s gaze, Chi Xingyu turned his head, raising an eyebrow arrogantly, “What are you looking at?”
Zhong Yi snorted and withdrew his gaze. “Don’t worry; I’m not interested in your type.”
If he weren’t fulfilling his promise to Tong Sui, he wouldn’t have bothered making this trip.
The silver sports car sped down the highway while Chi Xingyu sat silently, staring at the scenery outside. Only he knew the turbulent undercurrents beneath that calm surface.
Soon, he would see Kid for real, in person, someone he could actually touch.
As they drew near the small house, Chi Xingyu’s expression grew darker, and the comments noticed this change too.
—— Why does he have that expression? Is he unhappy?
—— Maybe he was forced to join the show; it’s too sad to have a straight man participate in a boy-boy romance show.
Zhong Yi parked the car in front of the small house, and as soon as he stopped, he heard the sound of the seatbelt being unbuckled. Chi Xingyu dropped a quick “Thanks” and hurriedly got out of the car.
Zhong Yi watched him stride away, thinking, “This kid… is it really his first time here? He seems more familiar than I am.”
Chi Xingyu pushed open the glass door, drawing everyone’s attention immediately.
“Wow, the new guest has arrived!”
Sang Cai unabashedly scanned him from head to toe. Although his outfit was distinctively cool and his face was a bit stern, he looked really young—not her type at all.
However, out of politeness, she still washed her hands and brought him a glass of water.
“You must be tired; we’re making dinner, so you can sit and rest for a while.”
“Thank you.”
Chi Xingyu took the water and glanced at the other two in the kitchen, Qin Xiu Xian and Zhou Si Yuan, his gaze lingering on Zhou Si Yuan for a moment longer, revealing some unhidden hostility.
Noticing the scrutiny, Zhou Si Yuan set down the knife in his hand, lifted his head, and chuckled lightly, “The new guest seems quite interested in me?”
