After he finished speaking, he specifically mentioned Chu Xi, and sure enough, he saw that Chu Xi's complexion had improved a lot. At this moment, she was also a little awkward; she hadn't controlled her emotions earlier and had actually started arguing with Xie Jianyuan.
Thinking of this, she secretly glanced at him and saw that Xie Jianyuan's gaze was not on her at all, but was fixed on Xu Chun. It seemed that he did not care about her at all. She felt relieved but also a little disappointed.
Shen Zhu took in the whole scene, then smiled and said meaningfully, "Xu Chun is a kind-hearted person."
Xu Chun pretended not to understand what he meant, smiled, and remained silent.
After getting on the bus, Xie Jianyuan and Xu Chun sat in the back seat. They had deliberately lagged behind earlier, and since everyone was traveling together, no one noticed that they had gotten on the same bus.
Xu Chun was listening to music with her headphones on while resting with her eyes closed, while Xie Jianyuan next to her was reading a newspaper, probably taken from the car to pass the time.
However, the sound of him turning the pages of the newspaper was rather loud.
Even though Xu Chun was wearing headphones, she could still sense his movements. At first, she pretended not to care, but as the rustling grew louder, she finally couldn't help but take off her headphones and ask, "What's wrong?"
Xie Jianyuan was slightly taken aback, then calmly shook the newspaper. "It's nothing, Brother Chun, you go to sleep first. I'll wake you up when we arrive."
Xu Chun looked at him with some skepticism, and just as she was about to close her eyes again, she suddenly heard Xie Jianyuan say casually, "You call her Xiaoxi."
Xu Chun:?"
But you call me Little Xie.
One was a cold, impersonal surname, the other a warm, affectionate given name. Xie Jianyuan frowned, tilting his head slightly to look at Xu Chun, waiting for his explanation.
Xu Chun: "..."
However, after only three or four seconds, Xu Chun quickly realized that Xie Jianyuan was probably throwing out a joke to make him laugh. His mind raced, and he said, "Xiaoyuan Little Xie. Xiaoyuan is too ordinary and easily reminds people of Xiao Yuan. Besides, don't you think Little Xie sounds better?"
Of course, he was just making this up, but fortunately Xie Jianyuan seemed to accept the reason reluctantly. His dark, narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked to be in a good mood.
Xu Chun looked into his eyes several times, then turned her head to look at her own reflection in the car window.
People say he looks like Xie Jianyuan, but the least similar thing about them is their eyes.
Xie Jianyuan's pupils were jet black; when he looked at people, his eyes were a deep, dark pool, still and unfathomable.
His pupils were a lighter color than most people's, and his eyes drooped slightly, making him easy to like and approachable compared to Xie Jianyuan.
Xu Chun was staring out the car window, lost in thought, when she inadvertently met a pair of dark pupils.
Xie Jianyuan kept looking at him.
For some reason, Xu Chun's heart started racing. He awkwardly looked away, forcing himself to calm down.
Xie Jianyuan looked at Xu Chun reddened ears, his thin lips curving slightly, a faint smile playing in his dark eyes.
The next place Xu Chun and the others arrived at was a swimming pool. Before entering the swimming pool, the staff called Xu Chun aside to confirm their arrival.
"Brother Chun, have you finished reading the script I gave you?"
To increase the entertainment value of shows, many variety shows have their own scripts. For example, the on-screen drama that viewers see is sometimes real and sometimes fake, but most of them are scripted because most people in the industry are not that stupid as to tear each other apart in front of the camera.
The script Xu Chun received was certainly not as exciting. He glanced at it quickly and found that it was mostly about the process and not as exaggerated as the rumors online claimed, which included lines.
However, there was a slight difference: the staff circled several important points, Xu Chun had reviewed before filming.
"I've finished watching."
The staff members were relieved upon hearing this.
Upon entering the swimming pool, we saw several catapult chairs set up in front of the pool; everyone knew what game was coming up.
"Looks like someone else is going to fall into the water," Chu Xi remarked.
The production team announced through a megaphone, "Next, each of our guests will choose one opponent to battle. I will put a wristband on each of you to test your heart rate. Whoever can make their opponent's heart rate exceed 125 within the allotted time will win."
Upon Xie Jianyuan asked first, "Is physical contact permissible?"
"Cannot."
Xu Chun glanced at him; what was with that disappointed look on his face?
The game began, and Chu Xi and Xu Huaizhou were the first to go. Xu Huaizhou sat there calmly, letting Chu Xi talk and chat awkwardly, his heartbeat completely calm.
When it was finally Xu Huaizhou's turn to speak, everyone held their breath, eager to see what he was like when he flirted.
Your contact lenses are crooked.
"Ah?" Chu Xi instinctively tensed up, and the heart rate on the screen spiked, but of course it didn't last long. After realizing that Xu Huaizhou was lying to her, she quickly slowed down.
Xu Huaizhou glanced at the screen, looking somewhat regretful.
Chu Xi: "..."
When the allotted time was up, Xu Huaizhou and Chu Xi had no choice but to draw.
The first one was Chu Xi, and her opponent was Xie Jianyuan. The second one was Shen Zhu, and he naturally chose the only girl Chu Xi.
Unlike Xu Huaizhou, he had a whole repertoire of sweet talk, and soon he had Chu Xi blushing and her heart racing. In the end, Shen Zhu won.
When it was Xie Jianyuan's turn, he looked at Xu Chun and said, "I choose Brother Chun."
Xu Chun was slightly taken aback, but not too surprised. After all, Xie Jianyuan was only familiar with Xu Chun, and the others were merely nodding acquaintances. Xu Chun probably felt embarrassed.
As he sat on the ejection chair, Xu Chun's eyes revealed a hint of unease. He glanced at the pool and felt a wave of dizziness.
