Xu Pei's eyebrows knitted, his palms loosened abruptly.

Xingchen Di hurriedly got up, grabbed his wrist and looked at it, then gathered Xu Pei's head and looked at it, asking, "Where did you fall?"

Ying Hu also rushed over at this time: "Are you two okay?"

Because all three were wearing skates, Ying Hu and Xingchen Di joined hands to help Xu Pei up.

"I didn't fall, he might have fallen." Xingchen Di said, "Actually you don't need to protect me, we can skate, we know how to protect ourselves when we fall." Xingchen Di said.

As they both helped Xu Pei back to the entrance, Cheng Huo and Zhi Yan immediately gathered around them with concern.

"Is everything okay?"

"How did you fall when you were standing properly?" Yihua Duan asked.

Xu Pei said, "I accidentally brought him down."

"It's a good thing you all brought protective gear." Cheng Huo said.

After he came back to his senses, Xingchen Di suddenly became embarrassed again.

In fact, Xu Pei put it very mildly.

But he heard it all.

He actually secretly said he liked him.

So softly spoken and so eager.

"The ice in the rink is still hard." Ying Hu said, "Are you sure you're okay?" .

"It's okay." Xu Pei said and looked at Xingchen Di, "Are you okay?"

Xingchen Di pursed his lips and shook his head, being asked by Xu Pei in front of so many people, his heart was racing.

It feels similar to a public secret communication, especially in front of a bunch of love rivals.

He looked at Xu Pei for a moment, pursed his lips, and his face was steaming. Suddenly someone draped a down jacket over him, and he looked back and saw that it was Yihua Duan.

Yihua Duan glanced at him, dodged his eyes again, and then handed over Xu Pei's and Ying Hu's down jackets as well.

They had a pot of tea in the side lounge area and Ying Hu asked, "Are you all done with your appointments? I mean the date."

Xingchen Di then looked at Zhi Yan.

" Zhi Yan and Star are not yet." Cheng Huo said faintly.

"Then you guys go quickly." Ying Hu said, "We can still get together later when we have time."

"Where are you going, is it far?" Cheng Huo asked Zhi Yan. Cheng Huo asked Zhi Yan.

"It's a bit far, we'll try to get back early." Zhi Yan said, "There will be a show later, you can watch it first."

"You should be back after six, right?" Cheng Huo asked, pretending to be inattentive.

Zhi Yan looked at Cheng Huo for a moment, and Cheng Huo smiled.

"Pretty much." Zhi Yan said.

Cheng Huo said, "The show will be over around seven o'clock, so we can have dinner together then."

"The show is already about to start, right, I thought it started at five?" Xingchen Di said.

"We'll come over later." Cheng Huo said, "You two hurry up and go, go early and come back early."

"Then let's go." Xingchen Di said.

The crowd watched them both go out, Zhi Yan and Xingchen Di did not walk next to each other and did not look intimate, but probably because everyone knew they were going on a date and were alone, so everyone's feelings were a bit complicated and no one spoke for a while.

Ying Hu is scary, Cheng Huo is scary, Xu Pei is scary, but in the end, they all see Zhi Yan as the strongest opponent.

In particular, Xu Pei.

I don't know what Zhi Yan will do this time, and where he will take Xingchen Di.

Fortunately, this time only an hour only, if this is a day and a night, he estimated that he could not eat and sleep.

The time when love is still undetermined is the most abrasive time, and the love synthesis gives all people equal opportunity to pursue, this frequent dating, on the contrary, will intensify the degree of abrasion.

Zhi Yan and Xingchen Di came out of the ice rink, and there seemed to be more people outside, heading into the sculpture park in droves.

"A lot of people." Xingchen Di said.

"I'll take you to a place where there are fewer people." Zhi Yan said.

Zhi Yan led him to the show's car and Xingchen Di asked, "Do you want to drive there?"

"Hmm."

Xingchen Di then sat on the passenger side.

Zhi Yan fastened his seat belt and started the car. Only after turning the corner and pulling out of the congested traffic did Zhi Yan smile and say, "It's been so long since I finally had a first date with you."

His words were very emotional.

In fact, it was not only the first date for both of them, but also the first time they were alone together after his mind was made clear.

The love synthesis time is too short, and there are too many people, so they each so cherish the opportunity to date alone.

Xingchen Di froze for a moment at the word, then smiled, pursed his lips and took the mask off.

This continuous dating makes him very stressed, as if one moment Xu Pei is still standing in front of him saying he likes him, and the next moment he is sitting in a car with Zhi Yan. He used to watch the romance variety, sometimes several male guests chasing a female guest, the female guest difficult to keep crying, can not make a choice, some viewers will also scold the female guest Hai Wang has a heart, now he as a party can justly say for the female guests: pressure is really big! The pain of a million fans only know themselves!

It seems that it is not right to treat everyone equally, it is not right to have a preference, whether you like it or not, the performance should be decent, and the embarrassment of which can only be overcome by yourself.

It may take him a little time to calm down and commit to another appointment.

For example, he is now sitting in Zhi Yan's car, thinking about the confession Xu Pei just made to him.

He felt that Xu Pei's fall was quite heavy, is it better to go to the hospital to see?

"Are you tired?" Zhi Yan suddenly asked.

Xingchen Di thought that in case Zhi Yan arranged a sports or haunted house trip that was physically demanding, he would say he was tired, which would make it difficult for Zhi Yan.

He then said, "It's okay, I'm not tired."

Ying Hu and the guys were all out after tea at the skating rink. They were planning to go to the sculpture park to see the show, and had just come out when they heard a cheer and the festival had started.

Because of too many people, the west gate was blocked, they passed through the traffic, Xu Pei raised his hand to look at it, looking a little gloomy.

When Cheng Huo saw it, he asked, "Does your hand still hurt?"

Xu Pei said, "A little."

It was fine when he first fell, and he felt more and more pain when he drank something.

He didn't want to interfere with Zhi Yan's appointment and held back a bit.

Cheng Huo took a look at his wrist and saw that the back of Xu Pei's hand was swollen.

"You're hurting a bit badly."

Yihua Duan took a look and said, "Why don't we go to the hospital?"

"Then I'll go with him. You guys go to the show." Cheng Huo said.

Cheng Huo then hailed a cab.

He accompanied Xu Pei to the nearby community hospital to take a film, but good hand bone is not hurt, the doctor prescribed some medicine, Cheng Huo also asked everything again, repeatedly confirmed, like an old father.

"It's really not a big deal, if you're still uncomfortable tomorrow, you can come back for a checkup and put some medicine on it and you should be fine." The doctor said.

The two of them came out of the hospital together, and Cheng Huo stood at the intersection and smoked a cigarette.

"This side is not far from the sculpture park, let's walk there." Cheng Huo said and gave way to a cigarette, Xu Pei shook his head.

"Have you never smoked, or did you stop smoking after being on this show?" Cheng Huo asked.

"I've always smoked very little." Xu Pei says, "It doesn't do you any good to smoke less, either."

Cheng Huo, with the cold wind at his back, took a few steps backwards and said, "I have a smoking addiction, and I only started to quit this year. Because of the recording of this program, smoking is also much less, one or two a day."

He said looking at Xu Pei, squinting, looking at Xu Pei in the smoke for a while, Xu Pei a black, look cool, handsome face, white, looks quiet very "big family isolated good brother".

He hardly seems to have the same animosity toward Xu Pei as he does toward Zhi Yan.

This may be the result of their different personalities from each other.

The two of them don't seem to have had a chance to have a good conversation in the last two days.

But when the opportunity arose, he didn't know what to talk to Xu Pei about.

The street was full of people, the cold wind was blowing, he suddenly thought of Xingchen Di at this time, this feeling of people coming and going still made him feel a little sad, he was silent for a while and said, "I don't know where Zhi Yan and Xingchen have gone."

"It's just an hour, he can't waste an hour on the road, it must not be far." Xu Pei said.

And there aren't too many dates to go to around here.

Zhi Yan also felt that an hour was too short to get out of town, and with the temporary change of schedule and hasty plans, the big move was definitely out of the question, and he could only try to arrange a meaningful date within the limited time and conditions.

It makes sense that the distance can't be too far, and Xingchen Di has already had two consecutive dates, so he might be tired, so it's better for him to arrange a quieter date. It is best to be indoors and not so cold.

He searched around the neighborhood and finally found a painting studio.

Xingchen Di was surprised to see Zhi Yan bring him to the studio.

The studio is located in the northern suburbs of North City, with the mountains to the north, and the terrain is very high and open.

Zhi Yan asked, "Do you know how to draw?"

Xingchen Di shook her head, "I won't."

Since Zhi Yan had come to say hello before, the owner recognized him and was excited to greet him personally at the door.

There was no customer in the studio, only the studio owner and her daughter were there. Xingchen Di took off her coat and asked, "Do you want to paint?"

"I want to paint a portrait of you." Zhi Yan said.

Xingchen Di froze for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

He didn't even know that Zhi Yan could draw.

Their guests this season are really hidden dragons and tigers.

"Why don't you sit by the window, there's a great view over here."

Xingchen Di nodded and sat down in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, only to find a bouquet of light red Full Sky Star on the windowsill.

This should not appear here by chance, right?

"How do I sit?" Xingchen Di smiled and said, "This is the first time I've had my portrait painted."

Zhi Yan said, "Sit as comfortable as you like, time is a bit tight, I only paint the upper body."

The owner of the studio lifted the drawing board over and looked at Xingchen Di, who smiled at the owner, who was so excited that his face turned red and he couldn't help but say, "You're even more handsome in person than on TV!"

Xingchen Di smiled and said, "Thank you."

The boss looked at Xingchen Di and then at Zhi Yan, and his heart got even more excited.

Both of them are too good-looking, right?

One ascetic senior, one bright and handsome, and then the thought that the two of them might be in love, she could not control her heart.

"I'll leave you guys alone, if you need anything, just mention it."

"Thank you." Zhi Yan and Xingchen Di said almost simultaneously.

The boss smiled and went to the side, for goodness sake, both so good looking and so polite!

Zhi Yan picked up the pen and looked at Xingchen Di for a while, and Xingchen Di was embarrassed by his look. Zhi Yan laughed and said, "Don't be nervous."

Xingchen Di blushed even more and said, "I'll try."

He sat up straight, hands on his knees, he used to travel when he saw in the scenic spot to people drawing portraits, sketches, five dollars ten dollars a piece, basically a few minutes to draw, Zhi Yan Since he wants to sketch him, there must be two brushes before he draws, and certainly not too long.

Zhi Yan picks up the brush and starts to draw on the board, the brush rustling on the paper, his movements seem to be wide open, he should be roughly sketching the outline. Xingchen Di suddenly reached out and took the Full Sky Star that was sitting on the windowsill and placed it on his lap.

Zhi Yan Yan froze for a moment, then smiled, he actually rarely smiled like this recently, round-necked sweater, showing a white shirt collar, gold glasses clear, the pair of good to see excessive hands holding a brush, sitting in front of the drawing board, looks nothing like an electric campaigner, more like an artist, elegant and graceful.

After a few minutes or so, Xingchen Di was less embarrassed and licked his lips, feeling a little thirsty.

"There's tea on the table." Zhi Yan said suddenly.

Xingchen Di's pink, fleeting tongue keeps popping up in my mind.

"Can I move?" Xingchen Di asked.

Zhi Yan said, "Feel free to move."

Xingchen Di then picked up his cup of tea and took two sips of tea.

Zhi Yan sometimes just stared at the drawing board, sometimes stared at him while drawing, his eyes were sharp and direct, as if he could see right through him. When they met, Xingchen Di lowered his eyes and looked at the Full Sky Star in front of him.

Full Sky Star actually has a fragrance, but it is particularly light, but he especially likes this light fragrance, reminding him of the bottle of his homemade perfume that Zhi Yan had given him.

Zhi Yan is a person who can do more than just play games, he can ski, paint, play guitar, and mix perfume.

He is as good as Cheng Huo and Xu Pei.

Those people on the Internet are crazy about him, saying he can do everything, in fact, Xingchen Di still feels that he is not really outstanding in these eight guests. They just didn't have the opportunity to perform, unlike him who danced for the whole world to see.

His professional identity really takes advantage of it. And like Yihua Duan and Qingning Lin, they are obviously so good in their respective fields, but they can't show it through audio-visual language.

His follow up portrait, Li, was standing behind Zhi Yan, and although the camera was on him, the man kept staring at the board.

Xingchen Di couldn't help but ask, "How is it, how is Yan's drawing?"

"You can see for yourself when you finish painting later." Xiao Li looked strange, seemingly stunned.

Zhi Yan's sketch took a little longer than he expected, about half an hour had passed and Zhi Yan still hadn't finished it.

Xingchen Di wanted to ask a question, but he was afraid that Zhi Yan would be embarrassed. He sat there thinking how he would react if Zhi Yan's drawing was average, or not particularly similar to his own.

"Wow, that's too much like it." Would that be too fake.

Cold is certainly not cold, but enthusiasm must also have a degree, he wants to play? He felt he might be embarrassed to act!

He could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that Zhi Yan's drawing was better than he had expected.

He finally back are a little tired, slowly lean back on the back of the chair, the cup of tea are changed three times, he pursed his lips, from time to time towards Zhi Yan they look.

The owner of the studio was also attracted to the painting and stood behind Zhi Yan to watch. The studio was silent, only the rustling of Zhi Yan's hands. Zhi Yan's expression became more and more focused and serious.

About 40 minutes later, Zhi Yan put down the pen in his hand.

He used mostly charcoal strips, and his white fingers were stained with a large black.

"Is the painting done?" Xingchen Di asked.

Zhi Yan nods.

His camera immediately focused on him and Xingchen Di put down the Full Sky Star in his hand and slowly stood up.

He was a little stressed at that moment.

He thought he would make a stunning face no matter how well Zhi Yan drew it.

Zhi Yan took the paper off the drawing board and handed it to him.

Xingchen Di picked it up under two camera shots, pursed her lips and glanced towards the painting.

At this look, he was stunned.

Is this really a sketch?

He finally knew why Zhi Yan had taken so long to draw.

This is a black and white photo, right?

Zhi Yan used gray hard cardboard, dark side point highlighting, chalk with charcoal strips as the main tool, the drawing is really amazing, light and shadow and three-dimensionality are drawn out, especially the eyes, shy and bright, the corners of the lips to smile, almost let him instantly recall his mood just now.

The charm of painting is that it conveys beauty better than photos, and Xingchen Di doubts that he is really that good looking after seeing it.

He is bright and dazzling in the black and white sketch.

With the most simple colors, but painted the most dazzling light.

The Full Sky Star in his arms, on the contrary, is roughly drawn, just a cloud of flower shadows.

He was really touched and amazed.

He looked up at Zhi Yan and was completely convinced.

He didn't know what to say, but said with some excitement, "You're too good at drawing, aren't you?"

He didn't even know that sketches could be so evocative and realistic.

Even the owner of the studio said, "It's really very, very impressive to be able to paint in such a short period of time."

"Please frame it for me." Zhi Yan said.

Xingchen Di, still excited, asked, "Have you ever studied painting before?"

Hidden so tightly, fans do not know!

"I used to study with Ms. Zhang Feng. She was a good friend of my mother." Zhi Yan said lightly.

"Teacher Zhang Feng?" The studio owner asked in surprise, "No wonder."

Xingchen Di did not know this person, but from the tone of the boss, I could hear that she is a great person.

Men with talent will really shine.

Xingchen Di was looking at Zhi Yan, and felt that Zhi Yan's whole person was advanced.

Zhi Yan took the soap and rubbed his hands, the white foam covered the lead dust on his fingers, this pair of hands that made countless people scream is really a treasure ah, can kill on the keyboard, but also quietly pick up the brush and draw such amazing paintings. When this scene is broadcast on TV in the future, I don't know how many hearts Zhi Yan, the girl killer, will kill.

After the studio owner framed them, the two of them took a photo with the owner in the studio. The owner was not at all reserved, and when she looked at Zhi Yan, her eyes were full of admiration, and she couldn't stop praising Zhi Yan: "His painting skills are so good that ordinary art school graduates can't catch up.

It was close to stamping its toe and screaming.

Xingchen Di does not know any painting techniques, he only has the most intuitive feelings of ordinary people.

That's good bull.

When they finished the painting, they had more than an hour to spare. Zhi Yan took the Full Sky Star and they came out of the studio together.

The sky had already dimmed, the top of the snow-capped mountain was in the late afternoon, the setting sun shone golden on their faces, Xingchen Di looked at the portrait in his hand again, his heart was stirred up by the talent of this painting.

Really painted a good look.

He thought he looked better in this painting than he did in person.

It seems to be exactly like him, and it seems to amplify a certain quality in him, but I can't find it if I want to find it out. This may be the Zhi Yan's vision of him, which only those who love him will find and magnify.

The large trees in the sculpture park blocked the light of the sunset, leaving only half of it shining on the stage. Feeling a little cold, Ying Hu looked back at Sunlight, which was almost gone, and said, "It's been over an hour, why aren't they back yet?"

Ying Hu couldn't resist and urged the camera behind them, "You guys make a phone call and ask."

The camera made a phone call to Zhi Yan and the others. The festival was too noisy, so he simply ran out, and this time he was gone for a while.

"It's back." Ying Hu said.

Cheng Huo and Xu Pei both looked back and saw Xingchen Di and Zhi Yan walking through the crowd, Zhi Yan turned back and reached out to protect Xingchen Di's shoulder, Xingchen Di was wearing a mask and was carrying a very nice looking wooden paper bag.

"You guys are finally back." Cheng Huo said.

The lights on the stage shone down, purple and red, sweeping over the crowd as the singer above sang a very upbeat ballad and the crowd swayed to the chorus. As they stood together, Yihua Duan and Ying Hu both glanced at the bag in Xingchen Di's hand and vaguely saw a picture frame inside, along with a bouquet of Full Sky Stars.

The night came up, the sky turned a deep blue, the light brushed their faces, everyone's expressions were so obscure.

Xu Pei and Cheng Huo were both looking at Xingchen Di and Zhi Yan, trying to see the outcome of their date by their expressions. Thousands of people were already singing along when Xingchen Di looked up at the stage and said, "I know them!"

He recognized the band, he just couldn't recall their name, but the song they were singing was familiar to him. The lively atmosphere soon engulfed everything, and everyone was infected by the rousing emotions, standing together to watch the show.

Xu Pei suddenly felt someone touch his arm, and he turned his head to see Xingchen Di.

Xingchen Di approached him and asked over the din of the music, "What's wrong with your hand?"

Xu Pei then raised his hand.

He smeared purple potion on the back of his hand.

He shook his head for a moment and, sensing that someone was watching them, looked up and it was Zhi Yan .

The red light covered Zhi Yan's eyes, like a weed covering the figure of a wolf, but he knew that the more invisible it was, the more danger it contained that could not be seen.

"My hand hurt, and I went to the hospital." Xu Pei stretched out his fingers and told Xingchen Di.

He could have said that before.

He was kind to Zhi Yan.

He doesn't want to be merciful to him now.
