As soon as the director took the toolbox out, Zhou Hanyan practically glued her eyes to it, her mouth watering with desire. When she realized she couldn't have it, she put on a sad, tearful expression, like a child who couldn't get a toy.
Su Huaiming had just asked Fu Xiaoxiao, but Fu Xiaoxiao didn't want it. There was no use keeping it anyway, so why not do her a favor?
Su Huaiming didn't say much, but instead stretched out his hand again and said, "Take it."
Zhou Hanyan with mixed feelings. He had a lot to say, but when he opened his mouth, no sound came out.
He targeted Su Huaiming at every turn, even kicking him when he was down. Su Huaiming even gave him the toolbox he wanted. Zhou Hanyan tormented by his conscience and his heart ached terribly.
They say seeing is believing, and his dislike for Su Huaiming stemmed from his performance on variety shows. But that was just what the variety show presented to him; he hadn't seen it with his own eyes. However, during the days he spent with Su Huaiming, he could feel everything from his heart. Comparing the two, he was more willing to believe the latter.
Moreover, he had been deceiving himself for a long time, telling himself that Su Huaiming was clever and hiding his true colors. But Su Huaiming acted so foolishly and arrogantly on variety shows, how could he be so watertight in daily interactions? He only realized such an obvious contradiction now!
Zhou Hanyan felt guilty and flustered as he thought about what he had done. His lips trembled slightly as he stared intently at Su Huaiming.
This was too exaggerated. Su Huaiming frowned slightly and couldn't help but take a step back.
Su Huaiming hadn't expected a toolbox to excite Zhou Hanyan so much, and he was both amused and exasperated. He could only say again, "Don't mind it, this toolbox isn't very useful to us, so it's a good gift for you."
Zhou Hanyan, remembering what he had been hiding, mustered up his courage and told him everything. Just then, he saw Sun Siyuan walking over from afar, looking quite disgusted.
"Your expression is disgusting!" Sun Siyuan almost vomited. "It feels like you're going to kneel down and sing 'Conquer' for Su Huaiming!"
Zhou Hanyan: "..."
The words he wanted to say stuck in his throat, and his excitement vanished instantly. His lips twitched, and his long-standing rivalry with Sun Siyuan kicked in, prompting him to immediately retort, "Is it any of your business? Su Huaiming is my idol. What's wrong with me getting a little emotional?!"
"Your idol?" Sun Siyuan said bluntly, "Can you please stop insulting Su Huaiming?"
"What's wrong with being my idol!" Zhou Hanyan stepped forward, sticking close to Su Huaiming as if swaggering. "I'm not only Su Huaiming's fan now, I'm also joining the fan group. You, an irrelevant person, should get away from here and stop getting in my way!"
"Who said I'm irrelevant!" Sun Siyuan, caught up in the moment, took a step forward and pressed close to Su Huaiming. "Su Huaiming and I are good friends. We recorded two episodes of a variety show together. Our relationship is definitely closer than yours!"
Su Huaiming was tightly sandwiched in the middle, with Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan arguing in his ear, making it hard for him to breathe.
Seeing Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan arguing heatedly, Su Huaiming quickly found an opportunity to sneak away to the side, then patted his chest and took a deep breath of fresh air.
Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan were originally discussing "who is closer to Su Huaiming," but someone brought up old grievances, and the topic shifted to "who was the most popular in high school," "whose smelly socks haven't been washed for three days," and "who drank more milk when they were little." They were arguing heatedly and were rolling up their sleeves, ready to fight.
Ji Mingzhe and Yu Ruicheng rushed over upon hearing the commotion, deeply worried.
Ji Mingzhe wanted to step forward to dissuade them, but he was intimidated by their posture. The production crew was also afraid of a broadcast accident, so the staff rushed over, but they didn't know what to do.
After a three-second stalemate, everyone turned to look at Su Huaiming.
????
Being stared at by more than a dozen people at the same time was too unsettling. Su Huaiming rubbed his arms and asked, "What do you want?"
Ji Mingzhe said, "Go and try to persuade them. You're the only one who can think of a good solution at this time."
Zhou Hanyan and Sun Siyuan, their eyes bloodshot and panting like bulls, seemed to want to fight immediately, as if nothing in the world could stop them.
"It's just a fight, nothing serious will happen."
Su Huaiming remained strangely silent for three seconds before continuing, "It's not a big deal that his face is injured, but Sun Siyuan is a celebrity who will rely on his looks for a living in the future, so his acting career is probably coming to an end here."
Upon hearing this, Sun Siyuan stiffened and silently lowered his clenched fist.
Su Huaiming, oblivious to what was happening, muttered to himself, "At most, he'll suffer some superficial injuries, but there's a one in ten thousand chance of internal organ damage and bleeding. The hospital is far away; he'll probably die in the ambulance."
Zhou Hanyan's throat tightened, and he suddenly felt breathless, his momentum weakening slightly.
Su Huaiming chuckled, his tone relaxed, not thinking it was a big problem, "The chances are too small to be considered. However, you need to pay special attention to your opponent's neck during a fight. There are many central nerves in the neck. If you injure the neck, the consequences could range from a vegetative state to death!"
Sun Siyuan: "..."
Zhou Hanyan: "..."
Help! This is terrifying!!
Their lips twitched incessantly, and they saw fear in each other's eyes. Without a word, they reached a tacit understanding, silently withdrawing their hands, turning to look at the sky, and putting on a relaxed expression as if nothing had just happened.
After Su Huaiming finished speaking with Ji Mingzhe, he realized that the two had separated. Surprised and curious, he couldn't help but ask, "Why did you stop fighting?"
Chapter 52
Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan both wore expressions that were hard to describe.
After hearing Su Huaiming's words, the two of them felt as if they had just exchanged blows and would be buried in the next second.
Who would dare?!
Su Huaiming was just saying it casually and didn't know it would have such a powerful impact. Moreover, both of them were furious at the time, looking like they were ready to fight to the death. He never expected that they would actually take his words to heart.
Just as Su Huaiming was about to ask further, Yu Xuanxuan came running over, her fair and delicate face full of seriousness. She put her hands on her hips and said, "We're all good friends, we can't fight!"
Yu Xuanxuan is usually cheerful and lively, and it's rare to see him angry. Jameel nodded in agreement, giving him a "How can you adults be like this!" look.
Feeling a little embarrassed by being stared at by the two children, Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan coughed awkwardly.
Seeing this, Ji Mingzhe stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Xuanxuan, those two didn't mean to fight."
"I saw it all just now." Yu Xuanxuan pointed to her eyes and said with absolute certainty, "They've already made their move!"
Seeing that he couldn't back down, Sun Siyuan reluctantly said, "Your... Brother Zhou and I are good friends. We never fight."
Upon hearing the words "good friends," Zhou Hanyan's face contorted with disgust, as if he wanted to kick Sun Siyuan away. However, under the child's innocent and clear gaze, he could only suppress his temper and agree, "Yes, we are good friends. We were just learning dance moves, not fighting."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xuanxuan's expression immediately shifted from sunny to cloudy, and she blinked, asking, "Really?"
"Of course it's true," Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan said in unison.
Yu Xuanxuan patted her chest and said with a smile, "That's good. We're all good friends, so let's get along well!"
He thought for a moment, then said, "Good friends should hug and kiss."
After speaking, Yu Xuanxuan turned around and tugged at Su Huaiming's sleeve.
Su Huaiming thought he had something to say, so he leaned closer to listen, but unexpectedly Yu Xuanxuan gave him a big kiss and made a "mua" sound.
Su Huaiming:??
Yu Xuanxuan turned to look at Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan, "Did you see that? Good friends always kiss like this."
Looking into Yu Xuanxuan's watery eyes, Sun Siyuan suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Yu Xuanxuan innocently said, "You're good friends, so you should kiss too!"
Fu Xiaoxiao and Ji Youyou also came over. The four little ones surrounded Zhou Hanyan and Sun Siyuan in the middle, looking up at them with their fair and tender faces and big, expectant eyes.
No one could withstand the gaze of human cubs like that. Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan's hearts softened, and they couldn't bring themselves to refuse. But to let them kiss them was worse than killing them.
The scene froze for a moment. Ji Mingzhe couldn't think of a good solution either, and desperately tried to wink at Su Huaiming.
Su Huaiming, entrusted with this critical task, sighed helplessly and said, "Adults and children express their feelings differently; good friends don't necessarily have to kiss."
Yu Xuanxuan's face, Su Huaiming continued, "For example, your brother and I are friends, but I've never kissed him."
Yu Xuanxuan rested her chin on her hand and thought for a while, then asked with great curiosity, "So what kind of relationship involves kissing?"
Su Huaiming: "..."
He Ming really couldn't answer, so he could only kick the ball away. "Go back and ask your parents, they know the answer."
Yu Xuanxuan leaned forward again and asked, "Do good friends hug each other?"
Su Huaiming realized that Yu Xuanxuan was taking this very seriously, and he needed to satisfy him before he would forget about the matter. He then said to Zhou Hanyan and Sun Siyuan, "Good friends hug, why don't you two give each other a hug?"
Sun Siyuan: "..."
Zhou Hanyan: "..."
Just as the two of them were about to explode in anger, they saw the four little ones turn around and look at them with bright, sparkling eyes.
Su Huaiming gave them a wink, signaling them to give the four little ones a token hug, just to appease them.
Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan both knew Su Huaiming's intentions. After pondering for a few seconds, they reluctantly agreed, but when they saw his face, they couldn't help but feel disgust, and their expressions became ferocious.
Ji Mingzhe also got anxious and said, "Good friends can put their arm around each other's shoulders."
Everyone knew that the two didn't get along, but no one was aware of the hatred they had harbored for over a decade, nor could they grasp the destructive power that the gesture of putting his arm around Sun Siyuan's shoulder and hugging Zhou Hanyan on them.
Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan gritted their teeth and clenched their fists, barely managing to suppress the urge to punch each other.
Sun Siyuan's facial muscles seemed to spasm, twitching incessantly. The veins on the back of his hand bulged, and he stiffly raised his hand. When he touched Zhou Hanyan, he seemed to be poisoned, uncontrollably rolling his eyes back.
Zhou Hanyan's face was as pale as paper, and the color had faded from his lips. He wished he could take a knife and cut off the parts that Sun Siyuan had touched.
Ji Mingzhe, a renowned actor, is adept at observing people's emotions. Upon witnessing this scene, he couldn't help but gasp in shock.
The human children's thoughts were strange and wonderful. They completely ignored Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan's disgust. When they saw the two of them with their arms around each other's shoulders, their eyes lit up and they clapped in unison. Yu Xuanxuan even jumped up happily.
Fearing that the two might lose their temper, Su Huaiming changed the subject and diverted the four little ones' attention.
They had barely run far away when Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan distanced themselves from each other at the fastest speed they had ever seen. One looked at his arm with disgust, wishing he could donate it, while the other rolled his eyes dramatically and gagged, as if he was utterly disgusted.
Seeing Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan's exaggerated performance, Su Huaiming expressed his incomprehension and was greatly shocked.
The viewers in the live stream were having a great time, as if they were watching a comedy sketch.
It's clear that Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan really dislike each other.
[Hilarious! Xuanxuan is the biggest hero in this whole mess!]
[Sun Siyuan, you're an idol, pay attention to your facial expressions! Every screenshot of you is a meme, like that pointing and gesturing jpg]
[Yu Xuanxuan is really something, how can she give up so easily? Good friends should put their arms around each other, hug, kiss, and lift each other up high. They have to go through this whole process! (doge emoji)]
******
After visiting the robotics exhibit, everyone boarded the bus to return to their accommodation.
During the meal, Zhou Hanyan lost in thought, engrossed in his own world. He opened his mouth several times to eat nothing at all. Ji Mingzhe looked at him with concern, thinking that Zhou Hanyan was too disgusted to eat after the "shoulder-to-shoulder" gesture.
Sun Siyuan had a good appetite and deliberately showed off in front of Zhou Hanyan. Zhou Hanyan, for some reason, ignored Sun Siyuan's provocation.
After finishing his meal, Su Huaiming returned to his room alone. Zhou Hanyan hesitated for a few minutes, then gritted his teeth and followed him.
He has done so many wrong things, even if Su Huaiming doesn't pursue the matter, he should take the initiative to be honest and make amends to Su Huaiming.
He knocked gently on the door and only entered the room after receiving Su Huaiming's permission.
Su Huaiming raised an eyebrow, then suddenly remembered something and took out his phone. "You're here to play games with me?"
"..." Zhou Hanyan took a deep breath and mustered his courage to say, "I used to be a hater of yours, and I participated in the variety show recording to dig up dirt on you."
