    Chapter 81

    Jian Yao walked up to Chi Huang. He was half a head shorter and raised his eyelids slightly: “Since you know my name, there is no need for me to introduce myself.”

    Chi Huang also raised his eyebrows: “But I don’t know your age, height and weight yet.”

    His question was somewhat rude, and he didn’t know whether it was ignorance or intentionality.They wanted to live under the same roof in the future. They didn’t want these two to get into trouble as soon as they arrived. The lead singer quickly smoothed things over and introduced the three of them using the information they had just exchanged. Then he said to Jian Yao: “Everyone knows you, so there is no need to say more.”

    Chi Huang said “tsk” and walked away.

    The camera then moves to other rooms, introducing the first meeting of the guests in each room.

    When Chi Huang appeared on camera again, the program team called everyone together and said there was an event for everyone to attend in the evening and get to know each other.There is a part of exchanging gifts. The gift program team has prepared it and hidden it in their respective houses. Everyone is asked to find the gifts and bring them to the big square to gather.

    Chi Huang and the others returned to the house. They searched high and low but could not find the hidden gifts. Their eyes finally fell on the exquisite dessert packaging on the dinner plate. Everyone had a look of something bad happening on their faces.

    They went to the guest group director to inquire and learned that the dessert was a gift prepared by the program team, and there was no backup.

    The director was also very anxious and said to Chi Huang: “In order not to be discovered soon, I put it on the top of the cabinet. How did you find it in such a short time?”

    “Didn’t you see this when you looked up? I thought it was prepared to welcome us in.”

    Both the lead singer and the anchor thought it was Chi Huang who brought it, and they ate a lot under his feeding and encouragement. They didn’t have much to say, so they only advised the director: “Should we think of other ways quickly?”

    “I’m going to the gathering soon. It’s too late to buy anything now. Do you have anything you can bring as a small gift?”

    The lead singer was in a state of desperation: “Can you use a pick? We will give picks to the audience during the performance.”

    The director asked her to take it out quickly and take a look. When the lead singer took out a handful of small plastic discs, everyone was speechless.

    Jian Yao came down from upstairs and placed a large bag of things in front of several people: “Wrap it in the leftover dessert boxes and you should be able to send it out.”

    The director opened the bag and took out a lot of chocolates and macarons. They were all very delicate and beautiful, and looked very expensive at first glance. They were suitable as small gifts.

    Chi Huang looked at the other party, hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing, and quickly helped pack it again.

    A small trouble was solved smoothly, and the subsequent exchange of gifts went very smoothly.After getting familiar with each other, everyone ate open-air hot pot together under the arrangement of the program team, and played until very late before going back to the room to rest.

    There were only Chi Huang and Jian Yao in the room.Chi Huang was a little embarrassed and awkwardly chatted with the other party: “I didn’t expect you to be quite enthusiastic.”

    The other party said “hmm” and seemed not to want to pay attention.

    Chi Huang had nothing to say again: “So you like sweets, and you brought so much food to the show.”

    “What’s wrong with having a sweet tooth?”

    “No problem, I’m afraid I guessed wrong.” Chi Huang took out a small gift box with their room number and gave it to Jian Yao, “I exchanged a gift with the guy next door who doesn’t like sweets. Thanks for today!”

    Jian Yao turned his head, surprised.

    The first episode ended here, and Chen Shilu clicked on the second episode.

    The content of the previous issue was mainly about introducing various guests, and this issue begins to enter the main line of the program.

    Guests need to obtain the scores of judges and audiences through individual or group performances. Those with high scores will be promoted and those with low scores will be eliminated.What is more unique is that there are no restrictions on the performance content of the program. Songs and dances are the most popular, stage plays and dramas are also acceptable, and more niche talk shows, magic, and acrobatics are all available. As long as the audience likes it, you can get high scores.

    The first assessment is a personal presentation, which is within reach for most guests.Actors and celebrities all have basic skills in singing, dancing and acting. Other Internet celebrities also have specialties in their respective fields, but when it comes to Chi Huang, it becomes difficult.

    Racing, the only thing he is good at, really cannot be moved to this stage.

    And he himself was too lazy to muster the energy, which made the guest director very anxious.

    The girl who was the lead singer in his roommate was very enthusiastic and offered to teach him how to sing.Chi Huang went to audition. He didn’t sing badly, but he wasn’t interested.

    The guest director was a very young guy. Seeing that he was unwilling to practice, he kept chattering behind him.Chi Huang’s tone-deaf attitude forced an energetic young man to become a Tang monk and recite sutras.

    He covered his ears and hid in front, and accidentally bumped into Jian Yao, who had just finished dancing practice.

    Jian Yao learned about the director’s difficulties and took Chi Huang directly to the dance studio. He tested his body’s flexibility and started training him after he felt that he was suitable for dancing.

    Chi Huang refused with his mouth, but his body was honest, and he started practicing hurriedly.After a while, I was covered in sweat and out of breath.Jian Yao asked him to rest, brought him water to drink, and drank water to rest himself.The two of them didn’t speak, just sitting there breathing.

    Chi Huang stared at him for a while, until Jian Yao couldn’t hold himself any longer and turned to ask him, “What are you looking at?”

    “The bridge of your nose is so straight, has it been done?”

    Jian Yao almost squirted out a mouthful of water and glanced at the camera.

    Chi Huang seemed unaware of the cameras in the room. He tilted his head and stretched his head to look: “Native? No way, who is naturally so straight?”

    Jian Yao avoided him: “Don’t be too strange.”

    “I really don’t believe it.” As he said this, he reached out and pinched the other person’s nose, with a lot of confusion on his face. “It’s really natural.”

    Jian Yao was shocked, blushed and pushed him away: “Are you crazy?” After saying that, he stood up and walked away.

    The program on the TV was still going on, and Chen Shilu had an extra glass of wine in his hand.

    No wonder Chi Huang’s manager is obsessed with cultivating him. That face and figure are indeed photogenic.

    The feeling of seeing Chi Huang on TV is very different from that in real life. I don’t know if it has the aura of the screen. I always feel that he stands out among celebrities. Even if he is in the same frame as a popular idol, he is not inferior.

    Based on his many years of experience and developed gay knowledge, Chen Shilu figured out that Jian Yao was probably a member of the same group, at least not straight.I don’t know if these interactions happened naturally or were scripted by the show team.

    After watching the two episodes of the program, Chen Shilu felt much more awake and not even a little sleepy.

    There will be a holiday in a few days. After the dinner tonight, colleagues will ask for leave and go home one after another.In previous years, Chen Shilu would stay until New Year’s Eve, the last one to start the holiday.He won’t be reporting here after this year. He plans to be the first to leave. Starting tomorrow, he won’t have to go to the company.

    Bored, he started packing his bags to prepare for his vacation in a few days.

    I opened the closet, rummaged through it, and found a flight jacket among a dense row of clothes.He carried the clothes and looked around, but he couldn’t remember that he had bought such clothes. This was not his style.

    He put the clothes on, but the size was not right. In a flash, he remembered that Chi Huang had left these clothes in his wardrobe.

    After Chi Huang left, he had already collected all the things he left behind, sorted and packed them. He only waited for him to remember to come over and take them away together. Unexpectedly, there were still his clothes deep in the closet.

    Chen Shilu reorganized the wardrobe and actually brought out a lot of Chi Huang’s autumn and winter clothes. He also found a woven bag and a travel bag from under the bed that could just fit the pile of clothes.

    Seeing the two bags full of new clothes, Chen Shilu almost laughed angrily.

    He carried the things to the living room and piled them with the sundries he had packed up earlier.Unknowingly, Chi Huang seemed like a tree taking root in his home. Not only did he cut down the sapling, but also dug out a lot of tangled roots from the soil.

    Chen Shilu stared at the mountain-like pile of luggage at the entrance, feeling a sense of sadness in his heart.

    He looked at the time and saw that it was almost midnight. Chi Huang must have finished his work.Counting from the day of the breakup, there has been no contact for more than a month.He was about to leave for a while. In case Chi Huang came back to get something in the meantime, he might as well call him first.

    The bell rang again and again. It was unclear whether he was asleep or busy with other things. Just when Chen Shilu was about to notify him with a message, Chi Huang answered.

    The first second the phone was connected, the two of them were silent at the same time. The next second, they spoke at the same time.

    Chen Shilu’s throat felt a little stiff, but Chi Huang’s tone on the other end of the phone was very normal: “You’re calling me so late, do you want to see me if you need anything?”

    Chen Shilu cleared his throat: “It’s not something important. Are you still busy?”

    “Yes, we are still recording the show. The Spring Festival is coming soon, and the program team hopes to finish recording this episode quickly to avoid delays during the holiday. What about you, are you on holiday already?”

    “Well, let’s let it go…”

    He just changed his tone, but Chi Huang took advantage of the gap to interject and chattered: “The show has been broadcast for two episodes. Have you watched it? It is said that the ratings are very good. I have signed up for the recording of the next season, which means I have got the predetermined promotion quota. I will be busy after the year. By the way, what are your plans for the holiday? I will probably record for two days, and then I will have nothing to do after having dinner with the team. Do you want to go out to play? Do you want to find a warmer place for vacation? I think…”

    Chen Shilu frowned. He didn’t know why Chi Huang acted like nothing happened, but he wasn’t calling him to chat with him.

    He interrupted: “Chi Huang, I’ve packed your things for you. You can pick them up in the next two days. If it’s inconvenient for you, you can just ask someone to pick them up. Bring the keys over by the way.”

    There was silence on the other end of the phone.

    Chen Shilu waited for a while and looked at his phone. He didn’t know when Chi Huang hung up.

    He called again and couldn’t get through.Chi Huang blocked him.

    Chen Shilu: “…”

    The phone call couldn’t be made, so Chen Shilu sent another message to Chi Huang.

    I edited a long paragraph with the same words and sent it, but the reply he got was a red dot.

    Chi Huang’s communication software also blocked him.
