Chapter 30: 29.2

Just as Jian Xingsui was about to leave, the staff stopped him.

He stopped in his tracks, and saw the staff hand him a sealed card and said, “Take it, but don’t open it yet.”

When the envelope marked “Xingsui” fell into his hand, Jian Xingsui actually had a premonition, the content of this envelope should be this stage’s contestants ranking. 

After leaving here, someone shouted outside: “Jian Xingsui, come here!” 

Under the evening sun, his roommates stood in a row, and the leader, Shen Xingchen, waved at him with a bouncy, joyous feel.

Shen Xingchen was impatient: “Why are you in a daze! Hurry up!” 

Jian Xingsui hurried his steps. At first, he walked quickly, but when he got closer, he changed to a small step for some reason, and finally rushed to his roommates’ side.

“Why are you moving so slowly?” Shen Xingchen muttered, “You aren’t happy to see us? Don’t want to come back?”

Jian Xingsui shook his head lightly: “No. Not that.”

Shen Xingchen snorted softly: “That’s about the same!”

Wen Shengge next to him also smiled and said, “We are lucky tonight. You must be the number one, so you’ll get a hot pot for dinner! Since we are in the same room as Suisui, we can have a taste, can’t we? So happy~” 

Ning Ze also nodded: “We are blessed.”

Jian Xingsui listened to their cheerful words. His heart felt really warm. He lowered his head, and said in a low voice: “It is also my blessing to know all of you.”

The surrounding voices were too noisy for everyone to hear clearly.

But Jian Xingsui didn’t care, because he already understood that the really important feelings don’t need to be emphasized loudly, as long as they are well treasured in his heart.

This was enough.

For the dinner celebration, the program group suddenly grew a conscience, and they arranged a big buffet in the cafeteria for everyone to enjoy.

Because the blue camp was the winner, they were especially rewarded. They got extra rich self-service hot pot ingredients. Seeing this, the red camp’s members became very envious. 

As one of the leaders of the red team, Shen Xingchen had penetrated into the enemy’s inner rank. He casually sat next to Jian Xingsui and began to eat unceremoniously. Seeing their leader’s shameless behavior, other members of the red camp soon followed suit. At the beginning, the members of the blue team would pretend to fight and not let them eat, but later they really couldn’t care much, and instead enjoy the jolly atmosphere of everyone happily eating the delicious, steaming hot pot. 

The previous grievances between the two camps also dissipated.

Boys were sometimes good at this – there was no such thing as an overnight feud when food was involved. 

However, when eating, most of the people’s thoughts were still preoccupied with the mysterious envelope. Naturally, a large number of people gathered to discuss who would be eliminated.

“When will the envelope be opened?”

“I’m too worried to eat…”

“I’m really curious.”

However, there were some people who really just focused on eating, and didn’t give a single thought about the envelope. 

Shen Xingchen saw that Wen Shengge and Ning Ze looked a little too serious. As the (self-proclaimed) leader of their room, he spoke to them, “Do you know why the show crew arranged this dinner before the ranking announcement? They just wanted everyone to be together, to enjoy the dinner without so much sadness about some of the contestant’s parting or something. So, let’s have a happy dinner together, yeah? You think too much, let us not waste any good intentions of the show’s crew.” 

Sometimes this fool’s babble actually hit the mark. 

After thinking about it, Wen Shengge and Ning Ze agreed. So they pushed aside their worries and tried to enjoy the dinner as-is. Besides, the food was actually delicious, they could very well indulge in it for a moment. 

Just at this time, the cafeteria’s door was pushed open. It was the instructors who came in. Seeing that the instructors were here, someone hurriedly greeted in excitement, “Teacher, come and let’s have dinner together!” 

Teacher Tuya was an easy-going lady. She had always been very popular among the trainees. She greeted them back warmly, her expression was open and welcoming, “Wow, this smells so good~” 

“Teachers, have you eaten yet?”

“Teacher, come here to eat.”

The trainees were very enthusiastic, greeting the instructors one after another.

Fu Jinxiao came down after changing his clothes. He wore a loose and casual sportswear. Except for the tailored suit he wore when he first appeared on the stage, he always wore such loose clothing in order not to steal the trainee’s limelight. Actor Fu tried to tone down his attractiveness with plain, ill-fitting clothes. But he was good-looking with a nice physique, so even in such clothing, he was already quite attention-grabbing. 

Amidst the trainees’ lively greeting, Jian Xingsui was a bit silent. He was hesitant to greet Fu Jinxiao at first. But then, from the corner of his eyes, he saw Anran move an empty chair to his side, clearly wanting to ask the actor to sit next to him. It seemed that Anran was about to greet Fu Jinxiao, and that was enough to vaporize his previous hesitation. 

He suddenly remembered Fu Jinxiao’s own words – that blind patience and cowardice will never make the enemy back down.

A little glimmer of courage grew from the bottom of his heart.

Many people greeted Fu Jinxiao. Anran also raised his hand: “Fu-ge…”

However, he was blocked by a crisp voice that came from the opposite side. Jian Xingsui bravely called out: “Fu-ge, there is a space here.”

Actually, the voice wasn’t loud. Compared to other trainee’s greetings, it could be considered a quiet voice. But to Fu Jinxiao, the voice was clear as day. The actor was still smiling and refusing to greet other students, so turned his face to Jian Xingsui. He sat down beside the youth without any hesitation.

Jian Xingsui didn’t expect to succeed, he looked at the man beside him with a foolish, dumbfounded look.

Fu Jinxiao should have washed up. He could pick up a faint fragrance on the actor’s body. He couldn’t actually tell what kind of scent it was, but it smells better than any other perfume he knew. It smells perfectly fitting to Fu Jinxiao – attractive and distinctly mature. 

Fu Jinxiao glanced at him with the corner of his eyes, and teased the youth softly: “You still have the conscience to greet me politely. It seems like my grace hasn’t been forgotten.” 

Jian Xingsui came back to his senses, and quickly said, “I haven’t forgotten!”

In order to express that he really didn’t forget, Jian Xingsui also praised the actor rather excessively. He thanked the actor in a low voice, “It is thanks to you that I can eat this meal today.” 

“What are you being too modest for? You were quite brave when tearing off other contestants’ name tags, weren’t you?” Fu Jinxiao continued his teasing, “We are comrades-in-arms, Comrade Little Jian.”

This nickname was chosen casually to tease the youth, but it somehow sounded very intimate.

Jian Xingsui listened to it and felt his ears burn. In order to cover up his excitement, he also helped the film emperor adjust his dipping sauce. He was very good at mixing an appetizing sauce.

Shen Xingchen tasted his own dipping sauce that Jian Xingsui mixed, and he claimed it was tasty. Thanks to the young master’s commotion, many people from other tables came over to see what the ruckus was about. Seeing was believing, so those who came also asked Jian Xingsui to mix their sauce too. So in the end, his action of helping Fu Jinxiao looked normal. 

After mixing a bowl, Jian Xingsui handed it to Fu Jinxiao: “Here you are.”

Shen Xingchen took a quick look and said, “Why didn’t you put coriander, this thing is delicious.”

Jian Xingsui, still holding the bowl, suddenly looked like he was guilty. His eyes were squinting, and he said hurriedly, “Ah, I forgot.”

Fu Jinxiao took the seasoning bowl, raised his eyelids and looked at the people around him. His dark eyes seemed to be able to read people’s hearts. Putting down the bowl, he commented, “It’s okay, I don’t like to eat coriander.”

Jian Xingsui smiled and said: “Well, that’s great, luckily I didn’t put it.” 

His acting skills were really bad. Fu Jinxiao immediately knew Jian Xingsui’s little lie. He was secretly pleased about it, though. 

At the end of the meal, some trainees probably expected that they were going to be eliminated, so they suppressed their sadness as much as they could. Because they were full of good food and wine, they lost a lot of their self-restraint and became bolder in front of the camera. Some trainees even dared to go to Instructor Tuya and said with a cheeky tone, “Tuya-jie, if I am eliminated tonight, can I ask for your autograph?”

Tuya had a very good personality, so she easily agreed, “Of course.”

Some people who have a better relationship with their instructor even boldly said: “Tuya-jie, can I get your WeChat contact?”

Tuya smiled: “No problem.”

After those people who set a precedent, other trainees gradually became bolder. Many people looked at Fu Jinxiao intentionally or unintentionally, their hearts had the same thoughts. If they – somehow, by some miracle – could add Fu Jinxiao’s WeChat contact, their journey in this show wouldn’t be in vain. Even if they get eliminated tonight, having Fu Jinxiao as a WeChat friend was something to be bragged about in front of other colleagues and family members! 

But due to the majesty of King Fu, no one dared to really come up and ask.

Under so many longing gazes, Fu Jinxiao put down his chopsticks, sighed softly, raised his head and said, “You can add my contact.”

Although no one dared to speak, many people immediately started cheering as soon as Actor Fu’s words came out. Mobile phones were not allowed here, so someone came over with a small notebook and wanted to write it down by hand. With that, a group of people gathered around and added their contact information in a lively manner.

Jian Xingsui also wanted to join, but couldn’t make it.

He envied those who were brave enough to come. But sadly, he could only watch helplessly, just like he had done many times before. He always could only look at the center of the crowd from a distance, watching the glow of the protagonist – the person who was destined to shine. In contrast, he was just an ordinary passerby, just another cannon fodder who would never get a moment in the spotlight. 

If he was good enough… if he was brave enough… maybe, he could also go up and asked for Fu Jinxiao’s contact information… 

Jian Xingsui curled up subconsciously. As he was feeling anxious in every possible way, a voice came from beside him, “Why are you in a daze here?”

He came back to his senses and saw Shen Xingchen’s face.

Shen Xingchen kicked him lightly: “Go if you want!”

Jian Xingsui stood up from such a kick, stuttering: “No, I…”

“I, I, I, are you a repeating machine?” Shen Xingchen snorted lightly, then pushed the younger man lightly, “I can see what you actually want. Just hurry up, I think you’ll succeed in getting his contact!” 

Pushed like this, Jian Xingsui fumbled into taking a few steps forward, and stood beside the crowd with a lost look. His heartbeat had never been so fast – he was so nervous, it was beyond any comprehensible words. 

However, at this moment, Fu Jinxiao in the crowd seemed to have noticed him and looked in his direction.

Jian Xingsui opened his mouth, but forgot to move, and stood there in a daze.

Fu Jinxiao looked at him for a while. There was a hint of fond smile in his eyes. He freed himself from the crowd and unhesitantly walked towards Jian Xingsui’s direction. After he reached his destination, he teased the youth, with a deep, alluring voice that bewitched his soul, “Looking for me?”

Jian Xingsui’s heart raised to his throat, but he still nodded lightly. He mustered up every bit of courage he had, and said nervously, “I think, I want to ask for your…”

“Well, what a coincidence. I also have something to ask you,” Fu Jinxiao’s voice was slow, and he asked very politely: “Can I have your WeChat contact, Comrade Little Jian?”
