Chapter 25: CH 25

Everyone froze.

Because I didn’t expect Pei Xu to be lying down for the first time.

Many thought it would end up being two to one between him and Huo Cheng.

Lin Qingning was surprised.

Because Pei Xu’s sit-ups have been really easy so far.

He knew Pei Xu’s condition best when he helped him with the leg press. Pei Xu kept the same speed from start to finish, without even the slightest sign of slowing down, without any sign of strain.

It seems that Pei Xu did it on purpose.

Lin Qingning is not the only one who thinks so, so do others.

Hu Ying said to the crew, “Pei Xu is down.” Duan Yihua and Wen Nuo both glanced towards Pei Xu.

Huo Cheng and Yan Zhi also glanced at him.

Pei Xu is already sitting up, patting the sand on the back of his neck.

Huo Cheng, however, thought that Pei Xu had given up early because he had no intention of competing for first place.

He was not interested in all the guests at the Red and Blue Lodge.

He just wasn’t interested in falling in love.

This is very much in keeping with Pei Xu’s style.

Pei Xu was the first to lose, and showed no sign of frustration or embarrassment as he rose from the floor and glanced at Di Xingchen next to him.

Once Pei Xu fell, Di Xingchen’s initial thoughts prevailed.

He’ll either go down first, giving the bottom two a leg up, or he’ll go down last.

Now that Pei Xu is down, he doesn’t want to give Pei Xu the impression that he is even worse than him.

He looked to Yan Zhi and Huo Cheng, pursing his lips and concentrating.

In fact, many people here overlook his ability. He is a dancer, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the most trained and the fittest of the eight. The dance students are really training hard every day, especially this month for their final exams, and he has been training hard for several hours every day. Sit-ups are one of the basic exercises for him.

The crew handed Pei Xu a bottle of water, which he unscrewed and took a couple of sips from, then turned his head to look at Di Xingchen, the white light shining on his sweaty face and blowing his dark hair around, making him look even fairer and more handsome.

Pei Xu was a little surprised to see that Di Xingchen did not show any signs of stopping.

The race continued and after 200, Yan Zhi and Huo Cheng slowly slowed down.

“Two hundred and one, two hundred and two ……”

As he does so, Huo Cheng looks in amazement at Di Xingchen in the distance and grins broadly.

He didn’t expect Di Xingchen to be so strong.

Not only him, but also everyone didn’t expect Di Xingchen to be so strong.

In fact, Di Xingchen may not be a match for Huo Cheng and Yan Zhi in terms of endurance and stamina alone, and he may not be able to win if all three are at their limits.

But he could suffer and endure pain better than anyone else.

Huo Cheng was the first to lie on the ground, he laughed and took a few breaths before turning his head to look at Yan Zhi and Di Xingchen.

Yan Zhi is already sweating profusely, his neck and face are all red, and when he leans up, his whole upper body is shaking, clearly at the end of his rope.

Di Xingchen looks a little worse for wear.

At the end of the day everyone is looking at Yan Zhi and Di Xingchen.

Yan Zhi turned his head to look at Di Xingchen and saw that Di Xingchen had closed his eyes, shut them and gritted his teeth.

It’s like they’re not going to stop until they get first place.

He’s working so hard to get first place and then ask the person he likes on a date, right?

Hu Ying , or Duan Yihua .

They all underestimated Di Xingchen, they thought he was a little white flower in need of their care, but in fact he was more resilient than anyone else.

Yan Zhi doesn’t want Di Xingchen to get what he wants, and he doesn’t want it to end up as a rivalry between him and Di Xingchen.

Wrapped up in his mixed emotions, Yan Zhi sank to the beach.

“Two hundred and forty-nine!” Wen Nuo shouted.

They all turned their heads to look at Di Xingchen. Hu Ying pressed Di Xingchen’s leg, overly surprised and even a little touched, his eyes so bright that he gazed at Di Xingchen without moving, seeming to have the illusion of deep love.

“Two hundred and forty-one, come on Xingchen, nine more and you’ll win.”

Di Xingchen’s eyes are closed, his thin lips pursed tightly.

This is the Di Xingchen they have never seen before.

Even Di Xingchen, which they never thought they would have.

Duan Yihua, Wen Nuo and Lin Qingning are all amazed by this Di Xingchen.

Every move he made was hard, and his mind was actually free of distractions about why he wanted to finish first. It was completely pure, a man’s fighting spirit to win and the sense of fervour that comes with competitive sport.

“Two hundred and forty-nine!” Hu Ying shouted excitedly.

Di Xingchen’s eyes suddenly opened and his body shuddered as he leaned upwards, finally holding his breath and bending forward at once.

Hu Ying threw his arms around him, “Two hundred and fifty!”

Di Xingchen grinned widely, leaned over Hu Ying’s shoulder and gasped, “God damn two hundred and fifty, I’m going to do another one.”

Hu Ying laughed out loud, “What do you care if it sounds good or not, a win is a win!”

Pei Xu, who has been watching from the sidelines, chuckles softly at this, but he has been too sensitive and defensive for the camera since he was a child, and the smile fades again when he realises the camera is filming him in close-up.

But the sea breeze could not quench the fire in his heart.

He was happier than if he had taken first place.

Di Xingchen took first place, which no one expected.

Including the programme team.

But this first place he took was not easy, he took it entirely on his own, and everyone was convinced.

Wen Nuo was happier than anyone else. He tried to move closer to Di Xingchen but felt he couldn’t, so he stood by and clapped his hands gently.

Everyone then applauded along with them.

Hu Ying pulled Di Xingchen up, patted him on the shoulder and said, “Your abs are tired out.”

Di Xingchen rolled up his T-shirt at the sound of his voice, and the crowd looked at the small of his back to see a beautiful line of visible muscles, aquiline and beautiful, emerging from his lean and reddened belly.

Di Xingchen, still reeling from the excitement of the sport, raises an eyebrow in triumph.

Cool as hell, offensive as hell.

Lin Qingning also gave a soft ‘wow’. Duan Yihua and Wen Nuo are not so sure about looking directly at each other in front of the camera, dodging a bit and then glancing again.

“Everyone is going to be very impressed with Xingchen today.”

“The Great Flip!”

“Did I get everyone’s facial expressions on film?” Guo Bing said. Guo Bing said, “Cut out the changes in everyone’s expressions!”

The programme team brought towels and water and Hu Ying went to wipe Di Xingchen herself.

Di Xingchen took two sips of water and took a long time to slow down.

“You guys get us some masseurs.” Pei Xu told the crew, “Everyone is having enough trouble today.”

Suddenly they were doing so many sit-ups, regardless of their usual fitness level. Di Xingchen was holding his back the whole time we were going back.

Hu Ying was all around him, chattering away.

The sea breeze was a bit chilly as they had been sweating a lot. Yan Zhi looked at Di Xingchen’s back and then at Hu Ying, who was beside him, and suddenly felt a great sense of loss. He noticed someone tapping him on the shoulder, and when he looked back, it was Huo Cheng.

Lin Qingning turned his head to look at Pei Xu beside him and said, “I thought you would take first place.”

Pei Xu said, “Brother Zhai is here, so I can’t take it.”

Lin Qingning said wholeheartedly, ” Xingchen was really good today.”

Hu Ying smiled back at that and then said loudly, ” Xingchen is really awesome today, MAN bursting, if I can send a Touched Message today, I will definitely send it to you!”

Di Xingchen said, “It’s not too late for you to save the last day to send me.”

Hu Ying said as he walked backwards, “Then you’re asking me out on a date tomorrow.”

Taking first place also means taking the right to a date tomorrow night.

The crew let him choose his own.

“There’s no rush, just tell us your answer before you go to bed.”

“Are any of you having back trouble?” Nearing the Red and Blue Lodge, the director asked, “Do we need to get you some masseurs or not?”

The guests’ backs were important and they all didn’t expect the day to be so close, so they didn’t want to really tire themselves out.

Di Xingchen raises his hand: “I think I might need it. I’m really tired of breaking my back trying to get first place.”

It’s time to show a little weakness and set off the straight-backed male protagonists.

“What are you looking for in a masseuse,” Huo Cheng suddenly said, “your back hurts? I’ll give you a massage.”

Guo Bing froze for a moment, “You?”

This was followed by a slight smile and a rather meaningful gaze as he asked, “You know how to massage?”

“My parents used to be unwell all the time and I specifically had a massage from the old Chinese medicine man in our area.”

Huo Cheng said, “If you don’t believe me, you can see it.”

“That’s fine.” Guo Bing then smiled and said to Di Xingchen, “You give Huo Cheng a chance to show off.”

It’s a picture they’re happy to see.

Yan Zhi pursed his lips and said, “I also have back pain. Does Brother Huo do all the pressing?”

Huo Cheng looks at Yan Zhi, not smiling, and the feeling of sympathy that he had just felt dissipates.

At this point, Pei Xu suddenly said, “Let’s get some professional massage therapists and let’s all have a go. The programme team is not so stingy.”

At these words Yan Zhi and Huo Cheng both looked towards Pei Xu.

Both of them were surprised that Pei Xu spoke out at this time.

Pei Xu is certainly not in solidarity with Yan Zhi.

He knew what Huo Cheng had in mind.

But Huo Cheng really wasn’t trying to take advantage of the situation. With the camera rolling and so many people, he wouldn’t have done such a thing even if he was angry.

He just wanted to have more contact with Di Xingchen.

He is really good at massages, and the average massage therapist’s hands are not even close to his.

Guo Bing was at a loss for a decision and threw the problem to Di Xingchen: “What do you think?”

Di Xingchen said, “Then it’s better to call the master.”

We can’t have Huo Cheng pressing everyone.

Huo Cheng thrust both hands into his trouser pockets and said nothing more. He turned to Pei Xu, thinking that Pei Xu had said he knew something about the emotional state of the Red and Blue Lodge, but what the hell did he know?

You don’t know how to assist your big brother.

The programme team then actually got them some masseurs to come, three men and one woman.

This time the three were very much in agreement.

They all chose a male master.

Leave the female master to Di Xingchen.

Writer Liu commented, “Men are really like this, super weird and possessive.”

But I didn’t realise that of the four professional masters, the woman had the strongest hands.

Di Xingchen grunts as he is pressed.

The massage felt like this, painful, refreshing and a little ticklish.

The humming out feels natural as well.

The grunt made the ears of the three men next to him red, and none of them dared to say anything, all of them lying there honestly.

“Turn over.” The master said, “Press the front.”

“…… No need.” Huo Cheng said softly, so gangly a man, his voice for the first time so soft.

He doesn’t use it, nor do Pei Xu and Yan Zhi.

Guo Bing They looked into the camera and smothered a few laughs.
