Chapter 98: The date begins

As Hu Ying and the others were heading back to Hut 1, Wen Nuo suddenly said, "Were you already in the car with the camera?"

The crowd froze for a moment.

"It's just the two of them in the car, no one in the back seat." Lin Qingning said faintly.

He had already noticed it, but had never said anything about it.

"Doesn't it follow the camera?" Huo Cheng frowned.

When he was dating Di Xingchen, he followed him to the photo shoot.

All of them dated with a follow shot statue, right?

" Pei Xu doesn't let follow it." Duan Yihua said.

No third person to follow, just the two of them.

Hu Ying took off his hat, stroked his chestnut hair, and said, "Then we can stop following the camera too."

He finished and went into the hut and began to clear the table.

Wen Nuo and Lin Qingning came over, saying, "Let's do it."

Hu Ying hung his head, didn't say anything, and continued to clear the table in silence, taking the plates to the sink to wash them.

Once the car leaves the Little North Pole, it hits a panoramic road.

Di Xingchen glanced at Pei Xu's navigation and asked, "Are you going to the county seat?"

Pei Xu gave a "hmm" and said, "Go to the county first."

Di Xingchen reached over and turned on the music, and Pei Xu said, "You connect to your phone, and play the song you want to hear."

Di Xingchen says: "I haven't updated my song list for a while, so I'll see if there's anything new."

The car was owned by the programme team, and the people who drove it before had a very mixed list of songs, from folk songs to internet catchphrases, and Di Xingchen cut through one song after another.

Di Xingchen took a look at it and called it Sunset Boulevard.

Then he heard a male voice singing, [Always dreaming above the clouds, flying over the meridian].

He then sat back and looked out of the window in the middle of the song; on the other side of the road was the cliff, and further up the cliff were rolling snow-capped mountains with villages, smouldering with smoke, majestic and silent.

"Is this a similar style of song that you usually listen to?" he asks Pei Xu. He asks Pei Xu.

Pei Xu says, "I don't really listen to a lot of music. I've been listening to Liu Shuang a bit more lately."

Di Xingchen gave an "oh".

Pei Xu just laughed and said, "Really, I didn't mean to say that in front of you."

Di Xingchen then asked, "What's your favourite song of his, 'Desert River Ballroom'?"

"Can I be honest?" Pei Xu's tone didn't sound flattering in the slightest, but rather sincere, saying, "Maybe because I know it's your favourite singer, I'm wearing a filter, so I think all his songs are good. I quite like them all."

Di Xingchen purses his lips and smiles a little as he turns his head to look out of the window, remembering the first time he entered the Red and Blue Lodge, where Pei Xu sat indifferently, not even looking at him.

Back then, Pei Xu was the king of tugging. And now look at him.

He looked through the rear view mirror and suddenly saw the programme team's car.

Comes with very visible red and blue markings.

Pei Xu said, "I told them not to follow, but they sneaked up on me anyway."

"It's important to the crew that the guests are dating," Di Xingchen says, "so they can do it if they want to."

Pei Xu says: "I told the director's team that I had brought a handheld camera and we would shoot on our own, so we would all be more comfortable with less people following us, and the director agreed."

After they arrived at the county seat, the programme crew's car followed them from a distance and when they got out of the car, the programme crew did not follow them.

Pei Xu took the handheld camera and glanced towards the programme's car, and immediately a crew member came running over.

" Brother Pei ." The other man said with a cautious smile.

"I thought we were told to shoot ourselves?" Pei Xu asks.

"Because we don't know where you're all going to play today, the director said, in case there are places that are inconvenient for you to film yourselves, so let them follow, don't worry, we'll try not to disturb you, you'll pretend you don't see us!"

Di Xingchen smiled and said, "They're all like that, so just say yes." The staff immediately threw a grateful glance at Di Xingchen.

Pei Xu's personality is well known to all of them, and Di Xingchen is the best person to talk to at this point.

As a result, Pei Xu heard Di Xingchen say this and said nothing more.

Heh, future wife-beater!

They both watched the staff run back, and Di Xingchen said, "Come on. Where's our first stop?"

Pei Xu said, "Come with me."

It's a small place and with only one day to go, it's not even practical to go to the city. The good thing is that there is a lot of tourism here, and even in a small county, there are many small shops with a mood.

The first place they went to was a place called "Old Time Workshop".

It's a conservative and safe choice, and one that eight out of ten dating partners would choose.

The staff first called Guo Bing to tell them the news.

"Old Time Workshop?"

"I just looked it up, it's a small local workshop, mainly handmade DIY, like pottery, aromatherapy, paper cutting, mandala painting and such."

Guo Bing says: "It's okay, it's kind of romantic."

"It's quite in keeping with Brother Pei's personality." A staff member says, "It's just a little bit banal, and it feels like nine times out of ten, if other guests were dating Xingchen, they would go to a place like this. We seem to have guests going to places like this every season to do pottery."

"It's actually still dangerous to spend a whole day on a first date, it's too long," says writer Liu, "but too many items can seem too full of schedule and it defeats the original purpose of the date. This more time-consuming and romantic location is okay."

Everyone's comments were okay.

Di Xingchen also thought the location was OK.

It was the location he had in mind.

He has watched too many romance roundups, and the romance roundup dating venues are basically romantic and moody, going together to make handicrafts, going to amusement parks, going to cafes for coffee, going to pubs for drinks, etc. These are all regular dating venues for romance roundups.

As soon as they both entered the shop, they were greeted by a member of staff.

The other side didn't seem to have seen Red and Blue Signals, though, and didn't recognise them.

"I did speak to you on the phone this morning." Pei Xu said.

" Mr. Pei is it, welcome."

Pei Xu asks, "We're videoing, can we film?"

"Yes yes." The other person smiled and said, "We have so many internet celebrities here who come to do live streaming."

But he didn't think these two handsome men looked like they were internet celebrities who had come to do a live broadcast, and although both were very beautiful, they both looked too classy.

"You two come with me."

Di Xingchen followed the staff inside, the shop was playing old classic love songs, the workshop was not very crowded, there was a corner where two couples were making pottery with the master, there were also a few people wearing gloves, gathered around the table to make rings, Di Xingchen looked around, the shop can do pottery, DIY silver jewelry, there are also paintings, aromatherapy, flower arrangement The shop also offers painting, aromatherapy, flower arranging, and so on.

There are many varieties.

He was curious about what Pei Xu had chosen.

The clerk took them to a wooden table by the window and handed them over to a pretty young lady.

Di Xingchen was amazed as soon as he saw what was on the table.

What I never thought Pei Xu would take him to do is something very special here. Bark painting.

"Is it okay?" Pei Xu asked.

Di Xingchen said, "Before I came here, my parents told me to buy some local souvenirs, so I searched the internet and heard that birch bark painting is very famous in the Little Arctic and is an intangible cultural heritage."

Pei Xu smiles and says, "As long as you like it."

Di Xingchen looked excitedly at the bark paintings already made on the table: "Is this all made of bark?"

The little sister probably didn't expect the two guests to be so handsome and blushed a little, bowing his head and saying gently, "Yes, they are all made of birch bark, our bark paintings are very suitable for souvenir collections, its biggest feature is that it lasts a lifetime and never fades."

The bark paintings are truly exquisite, especially the one of the elk, with seven or eight of them in different forms and lifelike.

Pei Xu put the camera across the room, sat down with Di Xingchen and began to learn how to make bark paintings from his.

Bark paintings are not complicated to make, mainly with shears, knives, tweezers and glue, but they are not easy to make in any detail.

"Let's do the simplest of small paintings. You can look at our album and see what you want to do."

"I wanted to do this moose." Di Xingchen said.

He feels this is more local.

He looked to Pei Xu and asked, "Which one do you want to do?"

"I'll show you when it's ready." Pei Xu says.

Di Xingchen and Pei Xu went to pick out the bark and noticed that Pei Xu had picked out a lot of pink bark, so they asked, "Is there any pink bark left?"

The little sister replied, "Yes, we have more than forty colours of birch bark in total. Our bark paintings are all natural colours, we don't use any fuel, it's all about nature, purity."

The little sister smiled and couldn't help but glance towards them both again.

My God, both of these men are so handsome, more handsome than the stars.

he had a feeling that the two of them were not normal either. The handsome one in all black had a high and cold temperament, and his tone and demeanor were quite serious, but he smiled every time he met the other one's eyes, and his voice when he spoke to him was also gentle and bass-sounding.

These two can't be a couple!

"Take your clothes off." Pei Xu said.

Di Xingchen then took off his down jacket, which Pei Xu took straight away and hitched to the chair next to him, before taking off his own and hitching it together.

Di Xingchen's birch bark is brown and yellow, but Pei Xu's birch bark is on the lighter side of pink and Di Xingchen can't help but keep looking at Pei Xu's hand.

Pei Xu's hands are still a little red and swollen, with black scabs from yesterday's bleeding wounds, but his nails are a healthy pink and shiny.

The bark is easy to see but not easy to do, as the bark is super thin, thinner than paper, with delicate fibres, and Di Xingchen soon focused on his moose.

Pei Xu suddenly pulls out a small box from the pocket of his duvet. The little sister went over to look at it and found it to be a box of wilted flower petals.

When Di Xingchen heard the young lady instructing Pei Xu, he didn't listen carefully and worked hard on his bark painting.

About an hour later, his bark painting was ready and he turned his head to see Pei Xu staring at him for a long time.

"Are you done?"

Pei Xu gave a "hmm".

He then glanced towards Pei Xu's painting and was stunned by this look.

"Wow." He couldn't help but let out a gasp.

It was actually a painting of roses.

The pink bark makes a rose, the pink is a dull pink but has more texture than a real rose, it is just exquisite.

It's too good to look at!!!

The pale pink petals, outlined and lined with different bark colours, and the slender brown and black stalks, with their squared-off frames, are simply a work of art.

But the petals are so intricately realistic that they don't look like they're made of pure bark, as if they've been mixed with something else.

"You used real flowers, didn't you?" He asked.

"Well, real flowers." Pei Xu said, "Didn't you give me a few roses when you were in South City, and I brought them all back with me. But those flowers were all dried up and I heard that you can make dried flowers over here, so I brought one over when I came."

Di Xingchen froze for a moment, the corners of his lips lifting slightly as he looked over at Pei Xu.

Pei Xu handed him the painting of a rose: "For you. You gave me roses, I'll give you one back."

A rose that will not wither.

Di Xingchen didn't say anything for half a day.

That's so thoughtful!!!
