Xingchen Di came out of her room, and saw Nuo Wen and Ying Hu chatting on the sofa in the living room.

Ying Hu sat on the sofa with bare feet, and when he saw Xingchen Di coming out, he laid down.

"It's out." He said to Nuo Wen.

Nuo Wen looked back and got up from the couch.

Ying Hu is wearing a thin red sweater, lazily lying on the sofa, the bottom edge of the sweater is slightly rolled up, revealing his thin white waist, and the pants he is wearing are also loose, showing his beautiful ankles.

"Aren't you cold lying like this?" Xingchen Di asked.

"It's beautiful and freezing." Ying Hu said, "It's the last day, I must absorb more powder."

Xingchen Di and Nuo Wen both laughed out loud at this.

Ying Hu is now so lost that he tries to make up for his lost feelings with his career mind.

More fans, more popularity, is the original purpose of his participation in this show!

The most he can now suck is the face powder.

"It's cold today, so you'd better cover yourself with a blanket." Xingchen Di said.

"You two leave me alone and go on your date!" Ying Hu deliberately made a jealous and fierce look.

"Let's hurry up and go." Xingchen Di said to Nuo Wen with a smile.

Nuo Wen smiled, but ran upstairs and came back with a thin blanket from his room, and came down to see Xingchen Di with his head down, talking to Ying Hu, who was lying on the sofa, looking up at Xingchen Di, wondering if it was his last day and he automatically put a parting filter on everyone. He felt that Ying Hu looked so sad and soft.

And luscious and soft.

Nuo Wen put a thin blanket over Ying Hu's body.

Ying Hu said, "Thank you, Little Nuo Wen."

"Here we go." Xingchen Di said.

Ying Hu watched Xingchen Di and Nuo Wen go out the door, picked up a thin blanket to cover her head, covered it for a while and then lifted it, posed in a most beautiful position, and stretched one leg over the back of the sofa.

It was still raining outside, so Xingchen Di opened her umbrella and asked, "Where are we going?"

Nuo Wen said coyly, "I want to take you to my home dessert store, I've always said I'd teach you to make desserts, but I've never actually taught you in a serious way."

Xingchen Di smiled and said, "Yes, we can make some snacks for everyone."

Nuo Wen is not looking for anything else now, he wants to teach Xingchen Di a dessert.

People and people have different fates, some fates shallow, lifetime can have a dessert memories, occupy a small corner, it is also very valuable to him.

Nuo Wen's best friend Qian Jin was the only one in the dessert store, which was closed today. Xingchen Di, who was seriously making dessert, was wearing an apron, handsome, gentle and with a bright smile, which made Qian Jin's heart flutter.

She found that Xingchen Di seems to be a little more mature than before, as having a tall head of more than one meter eight, has almost completed the metamorphosis from boy to man and become more attractive.

Too good may not be a bad thing, bright as the stars in the sky, a look does not belong to their own, but not easy to become a heart vermilion mole.

Some people are so dazzling that they can give up and give up dry and without regret. Only those cushioned feet can be with the white moonlight, only to bring unpredictable pain.

She turned her head to look at Nuo Wen, Nuo Wen warm glutinous next to guide Xingchen Di, shy and gentle, this last date, he has been very satisfied.

Xingchen Di spent the afternoon learning in the dessert store and ended up making cupcakes and cranberry cookies, which Qian Jin helped him pack into eight beautiful souvenirs before he left.

The date instantly became especially meaningful.

They stayed at the dessert store until dinner time, then ordered two small hot pots at the small hot pot restaurant next to the dessert store. The meal hadn't even started yet, and they had already made plans to meet up later.

Compared to other guests, the two of them actually have more in common, are pure vegetarian origin, are because of the program changed life, the two families live very close, the two personalities are also destined to do they can not be lovers can also become friends.

That would be good.

This will be enough.

Nuo Wen turned his head to look out the wet window.

Outside the drizzle, because of the rain, the darkness is a little earlier than usual.

Xu Pei and Cheng Huo sit alone by the window in a small restaurant on the waterfront in South City, a hot soup pot bubbling on the table and two small bottles of wine at the bottom.

Xu Pei has been drinking all over the face, even the neck is red.

Cheng Huo smiled and asked, "Is it still drinkable?"

Xu Pei looked at the glass and said, "I'll finish this one."

Cheng Huo unscrewed another bottle of wine with a cigarette in his mouth and poured it for himself; "This wine is good."

He said turning his head to ask the boss, "Boss, you make this wine yourself?"

"I have a good wine, right?" The owner asked with a smile.

"Soft and mellow in the mouth, good wine." Cheng Huo said loudly.

The happy owner gave them another plate of cold cucumbers.

This store is a fish out of water for Cheng Huo.

Xu Pei said, "Is my store a good choice?"

"The heart." Cheng Huo said, "You know I since the success of the business, basically rarely come to this kind of small restaurants to eat, usually social entertainment, are going to big hotels, high-end restaurants, play, eat, are the top, but I basically every month or two, will certainly call on my friends, sometimes on my own, specifically to eat roadside stalls. I feel that I am in such an environment, smoking, drinking wine, eating small dishes and chatting, the most comfortable, body and mind are relaxed at once. What about you, you should rarely come to such places, right?"

Xu Pei said, "I rarely, my life is the kind of life you can see at the end of the day, and I'm on a routine."

Live in a villa, drive a luxury car, eat at a fixed upscale restaurant and go to work.

"You can come often, get used to it, I feel that Star should quite like this kind of small restaurant, grounded."

Xu Pei nodded, picked up his glass, and clinked it with Cheng Huo again.

Cheng Huo took a sip of wine and turned his head to look out the window, "Isn't this side quite close to the Chinese dance?"

"It's a block away." Xu Pei said.

"I saw the library building of their school." Cheng Huo looked out the window and said, "Then you'll definitely be coming here a lot in the future. I've searched for good restaurants within a few kilometers of here before, I can send them to you."

He looked at it for a while, then took another sip of wine, picked up his chopsticks to clip cold cucumber slices, carelessly, half a day before he got one, and said with a faint smile, "This place, I shouldn't come back."

Xu Pei's face was full of wine, but his expression was somewhat silent, as if he didn't know what to say.

But he knew what Xu Pei wanted to say to him, but because of their current situation and status with each other, Xu Pei might seem out of place if he said it at this time, and he would be selling his good behavior even though he had gotten the advantage.

But he knows Xu Pei, and he understands him.

"You also do not have the burden," Cheng Huo said, "you have to think, we are all the same, we have made every effort, who did not give way to anyone, I did not sell out at the beginning ah? You are a good luck that we can't even ask for, all you have to do now is to cherish it, fall in love and ......"

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, slightly hanging his head, inching, angular, with a high nose, he had been drinking, originally his cheeks were red, but his eyes were obviously redder than his cheeks. He made a sound similar to a sigh, so probably repeated several times, he grinned a little: "You understand."

Xu Pei didn't say anything, just lifted the glass of wine in front of him.

Cheng Huo did not look up, slightly bowed his waist, lifted his glass and clinked it with him.

Xu Pei drained the glass of wine, and Cheng Huo hung his head and took a sip, drinking it all.

"It's not a good wine, it's too spicy." Cheng Huo said.

He is a big man, eyelashes are wet, but tears froze a drop did not fall.

He did not want to lose his temper in front of his love interest, but how can one's feelings be casually controlled?

Just like people don't control their hearts.

He drank too much and couldn't stop his emotions when they came up.

He said, "I envy you, Xu Pei!" with a few more "sighs", trying to control his emotions and a deliberately high tone of voice.

Xu Pei smiled a little with red eyes.

He thinks he may not see Cheng Huo again after the show is over.

He feels that Cheng Huo's fondness for Xingchen Di is no less than his.

Also do not know what to say, there is no need to say more, there is no need to say anything more, they two would not have too much intersection, there is little possibility of becoming friends of the two men, because a show to meet, but because they like the same person, and each other cast, so at the moment sitting here for the last time.

The most tacit understanding between rivals is actually. Xu Pei picked up the newly opened bottle of wine, filled it up for himself and poured it for Cheng Huo, and the two of them toasted, drank, and kept drinking.

Wine is not a good thing, but sometimes for the men and women of this world, a glass of wine can be worth a thousand words, a thousand joys and sorrows.

Xu Pei finally got drunk. He was so bad at drinking.

Cheng Huo patted him on the head, and Xu Pei lay motionless on the table.

Cheng Huo sat for a while, eased his emotions, and stood Xu Pei up.

Xu Pei looked at him drunkenly and called, "Huo."

"Hmm."

"Brother Huo, I'm with Star ......"

"Got it got it." Cheng Huo said.

Xu Pei walks and sways, as he did before, only lighter and more civilized and silent, emitting a sigh like "alas, alas".

Cheng Huo patted him on the back.

The rain outside seems to be getting heavier.

Xingchen Di stood at the door and watched for a while, waiting for Nuo Wen to come out of the bathroom.

"It's getting bigger and bigger." Xingchen Di said.

"The weather forecast says there may be rain tomorrow." Nuo Wen said.

They both went back to the dessert store, picked up the desserts they had made that afternoon, and took the car back to the Red and Blue Lodge.

The Red and Blue Lodge was refreshed and the whole building was actually dressed up with red and blue colored lights.

As soon as Nuo Wen got out of the car, she let out a "wow".

He helped Xingchen Di hold the umbrella, Xingchen Di took the dessert down from the car, neither of them saw a person standing under the flower corridor in the middle of the building between the red and blue hut and the building where the program team lives next door. The man was standing in the hazy night, soaked by the rainy night.

"It's so beautifully decorated." Nuo Wen tilted her head and lamented.

"When did you get the colored lights." Xingchen Di said.

When they entered the red and blue room, the living room was lit up, but no one was in sight. Xingchen Di carried the dessert to the kitchen and saw a man lying on the dining table, Cheng Huo.

"Eh, Brother Huo." Nuo Wen said.

Xingchen Di smells a very distinct wine aroma.

He put the dessert down, "You two have been drinking?"

Cheng Huo sat up, his face still full of wine red, and when he saw him, he called out, " Xingchen Di ."

Nuo Wen smiled, "I'm going upstairs first."

Nuo Wen ran upstairs, Xingchen Di poured a glass of water for Cheng Huo and handed it over.

Cheng Huo hooked a hand.

When Xingchen Di walked over, Cheng Huo took him by the back of the neck, stopping just as his forehead was about to rest on Xingchen Di's forehead.

Two centimeters apart, or further away, you can feel the heat of each other's skin.

Xingchen Di was shocked and a little embarrassed, not knowing what Cheng Huo was going to do, he looked up at Cheng Huo, but saw that Cheng Huo's eyes were red.

His heart sank at once.

Cheng Huo held the back of Xingchen Di's neck in silence for a moment, maybe three seconds, or more.

A thousand emotions and deep feelings in the heart, all in these few seconds.

Then he let go of him.

"I was going to say something, I can't remember." Cheng Huo laughs.

"By the way, Xu Pei drank too much, you take care of it tonight." He said.

"Too much to drink again?" Xingchen Di asked.

"You can't drink, and you still have to drink with me." Cheng Huo said, "You go check it out."

Xingchen Di looked at Cheng Huo , and Cheng Huo said, "I'll have a glass of water and go back."

Xingchen Di then poured a glass of water into his and Xu Pei's room and entered Xu Pei's bedroom, where he saw Xu Pei lying quietly in bed.

It reminded him of the first time they drank, when Xu Pei was also drunk and he came to take care of him.

The drunk Xu Pei was quiet as always, not making any noise or fuss.

Xingchen Di put the glass of water down and re-covered Xu Pei again.

Xu Pei opened his eyes slightly and called, "Star ......"

Soft and sticky low.

He grabbed Xingchen Di's hand and pressed it to his cheek, then kissed his fingertips again.

Xingchen Di squatted down, crouched in front of the bed, the room only turned on a small light, the camera captured the picture are blurred, Xingchen Di's voice is also very soft.

"Are you thirsty?" Xingchen Di asked.

"I've had too much to drink again, Xingchen." Xu Pei said, "Xingchen, let's ...... always, OK? We ......"

His voice was lumpy and inaudible.

The program next door is also exceptionally quiet today.

Everyone is closely watching every move in the Red and Blue Lodge.

Yihua Duan lying on the bed, Qingning Lin lying on Ying Hu's bed and talking with Ying Hu, Nuo Wen sitting on the sofa, Cheng Huo lying on the dining table, and Zhi Yan standing alone on the porch outside.

It was the last night of the Red and Blue Lodge.

After the guests had gone to bed, the staff photographed the entire room, the silent full moon on the dining table, the half-drunk teacups, the empty sofa, and the wobbly clock.

Xingchen Di got up early the next morning.

It was truly the last day.

Or maybe it was the last morning that the eight of them were reunited before the end of the show's taping and he wanted to cook one last breakfast for everyone.

The rain outside actually stopped, but the sky is still gloomy, the living room is not turned on the lights, very dark, but the kitchen where the lights are on.

Xingchen Di zipped up her jacket and walked to the kitchen, where she saw Zhi Yan.

Zhi Yan is wearing an apron and her hair is a little messy. She looks like she hasn't washed up yet and has come over to make breakfast.

It was the first time he had seen such a homely, lazy Zhi Yan.

Zhi Yan looked up and saw him and said, "Good morning."

"Morning." Xingchen Di said, "You're up so early."

"I just made a sandwich." Zhi Yan said, "Try it. It's the same sandwich I learned from you."

Xingchen Di tasted it and gave it a thumbs up.

Zhi Yan smiled and looked down to continue frying the eggs.

He has now fried the eggs very well and the fire is just right.

Everyone was still up and it was especially quiet around. Xingchen Di stood next to her eating a sandwich and said, "You can be out of the class, better than what I did."

Zhi Yan smiled and looked at him, his glasses couldn't hide his tiredness, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and dark circles were obvious, I don't know if he slept yesterday.

"Then you eat one more." Zhi Yan, her voice lowered, said, "I won't make any more sandwiches."

Xingchen Di looked at Zhi Yan for a second and then took another sandwich to eat.

"It's delicious, the Zhi Yan brand sandwich." He said.

Zhi Yan's eyes instantly warmed up, remembering the first time he learned how to make sandwiches from Xingchen Di.

He said he learned to make them for his favorite people when the show is over.

Xingchen Di said to the camera at that time, Zhi Yan brand of sandwiches, he ate first as a tribute.

Zhi Yan opened his lips slightly, glowering, his glasses hiding all the emotions welling up in his eyes.

Everyone got up one by one. The day finally dawned and a golden ray of sunlight shone through the window.

"It's out of Sun." Ying Hu said.

Several of them walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the rising Sun , which gave them all a golden glow.
