Xing Xing -sensei was a little confused.
The male protagonist was wearing his idol's face and talking to him at such a close distance. Especially in the dead of night, there was no one around, and everything was silent.
"Ahem." Qi Xingchen's legs were a little weak, and he couldn't help but take a step back. "You, you can talk, but why are you so close to me?"
Bai Ye: "…"
Bai Ye was very innocent. Just now, he saw the little fan in a difficult situation from the window of the room, so he came out.
In the end, he didn't rest in the middle of the night and accompanied the little fan to dance the lion dance, but he was actually disliked for talking too close to him …
Life is really hard. His idol sighed.
Bai Ye didn't say anything. He picked up the embroidered ball and studied it for a while.
Not long after, Qi Xingchen finally recovered. He quietly took out a few stools and used them as the plum blossom poles.
Then he snatched the ball from Bai Ye's hand, stood on the stool, and wanted to hang it on the eaves.
He raised his hands and feet with all his strength, but he couldn't touch it.
"Come down," Bai Ye said. "I'll try."
Qi Xingchen obeyed, and Bai Ye went up.
He was tall and had long arms. In a few minutes, he grabbed the tassels on both sides of the embroidered ball and hung it on the eaves.
This time, it was Qi Xingchen's turn to feel wronged. In real life, he was taller than the original owner and was about half a head shorter than Bai Ye.
Unlike now, he was a head shorter than Bai Ye and couldn't even hang an embroidered ball.
Bai Ye jumped off the stool lightly, patted the dust on his hands, and asked, "Is there anything else that needs to be arranged?"
"We have the plum blossom poles and the embroidered ball. No need."
"Okay." Bai Ye tilted his head at him. "Then let's do it."
It had to be said that this kind of idol was very charming. Xing Xing began to explain obediently.
"There are a lot of technical moves in the lion dance. We don't need to be so professional. We just need to show the atmosphere of the lion's celebration. The steps and movements have to be light."
"The movements that will definitely be used are the poles and jumps on the poles, which need the two of us to cooperate to complete."
Bai Ye didn't understand. "How?"
"It's like a lift," Qi Xingchen said. "You hold my waist and lift me onto the plum blossom pile. Then, you use my strength to jump up."
When Bai Ye attended the New Year's Eve party, he had seen a lion dance performance. He had some recollection of what the little fan had said. He walked behind him while recalling.
She put her hands on both sides of his waist and asked, "Is that so?"
"… Yeah."
"Why are you so skinny?"
Qi Xingchen was speechless.
Qi Xingchen: "???"
Isn't your focus a little off?
It was as if all the blood in his body had flowed to his head. Within three seconds, Qi Xingchen's face quickly turned red, as if it was dripping blood.
Fortunately, the culprit was behind him, so he couldn't see his expression. Qi Xingchen gritted his teeth. "Study hard!"
"Eat more in the future." Bai Ye did not give up.
Qi Xingchen was speechless.
"I'll supervise you."
Qi Xingchen felt like he was about to suffocate. However, he wasn't the kind of person who didn't know what was good for him. He forced himself to nod.
Only then did Bai Ye let him go. He exerted a little force, and Qi Xingchen's feet fell into the air.
"Do you want to lift it like this? How high is it?" Bai Ye continued to raise his arm. "Do you want it higher?"
He was a living man. Why did he say it as if he was lifting a cabbage?
Qi Xingchen was confused for the umpteenth time tonight.
"It depends on the height of the plum blossom pile." Qi Xingchen told himself that this was work. He took a deep breath and said, "Let's go to the pile and take a look."
"Okay." Bai Ye lifted Qi Xingchen and walked to the stool.
Qi Xingchen was speechless.
'Can't you put him down?'
However, Bai Ye was very smart. He knew at a glance which height to lift him to. According to the method described, after putting him up, he also used his strength to jump up.
"Is that right?" Bai Ye asked.
Qi Xingchen was quite surprised that he could do this on his first lion dance. "Yes, that's about right.
Because the lion head needs to control the lion's eyes, mouth, and other expressions. I can only be the lion head, and you can be the lion tail.
"You'll have to bend over during the performance. This time … it'll be hard on you."
Bai Ye grunted and did not say anything.
Considering that Bai Ye was inexperienced and that a wedding banquet did not need to be so professional, Qi Xingchen's choreography was very simple. It only required four piles. Before long, Bai Ye had learned them all.
After putting on a full set of lion clothes and pants, putting on the lion head and lion tail and practicing a few times, the two of them were basically done.
Qi Xingchen selected the music he had chosen and played it.
Bai Ye's dancing skills were very strong. He did not need Qi Xingchen to remind him to beat. In fact, he found the rhythm more accurately than him.
The two of them cooperated well throughout the song. There were no problems like falling off the pile or stepping on feet.
Qi Xingchen had learned lion dance when he was a child. After that, he had never touched a lion head. It had been a long time since he had played to his heart's content.
.
In the countryside, the bride was usually picked up early. As the emcee, Qi Xingchen not only had to preside over the wedding banquet, but he also had to follow the scene from the moment the groom was ready to leave.
He arrived at the groom's residence at three in the morning. It was in town. It was not big, and the decorations were average.
He did not know where the groom's mother's inexplicable sense of superiority came from.
After exchanging a few words with the groom, who was putting on makeup, he felt much more at ease.
The groom was different from his mother. He looked very gentle and seemed like someone who doted on his wife.
Seeing that Qi Xingchen was unfamiliar, the groom's relative was puzzled. "You are?"
"I'm the emcee of today's wedding banquet."
"Whoa." The relative slapped his thigh and joked, "With such a good-looking young man as the emcee, won't our nephew's limelight be completely stolen?!"
In order to avoid this problem, Qi Xingchen only wore the formal suit that Qi Yuji had given him. His hair was uncombed.
Qi Xingchen thought to himself, "There will be more good-looking men later. I can't control that."
At four o 'clock, the groom finished his makeup and went to the groom's house to pick up the bride.
When they arrived at the auditorium, it was a little past five. Qi Xingchen looked at the guests sitting below and almost fainted.
The entire "Budget Traveller" crew, including the guests, were all sitting in the last row!
There was still some time before the ceremony began. He ran down and said, "Brother Yunfei, why are you here?"
"This is your hosting debut. We have to come to cheer you on," Zhang Yunfei said with a smile. "And Director Zhao thinks this is good material, so he wants to come and film it."
Qi Xingchen had no choice. "Then try to keep a low profile. Don't cause a commotion among the guests."
After instructing Zhang Yunfei, he found the couple and told them about the program crew coming to film.
Many people didn't want to be exposed to the public, so he had to respect the opinions of ordinary people.
The couple was very open-minded. The groom said, "With so many people witnessing our happiness, of course I'm willing!"
"Me too," the bride said. "And I really, really like Bai Ye. If he can attend my wedding … My God, I can't imagine it!
This will be the most unforgettable moment in my life! "
When she said this, the longing and expectation on the bride's face were obvious. Bai Ye, who came to find Qi Xingchen, happened to bump into her.
He thought for a moment and retreated behind the scenes.
While Qi Xingchen was discussing with the couple, Director Zhao had settled the parents and guests of both parties.
At the auspicious time of 6: 6 a.m., the wedding officially began!
Qi Xingchen came out from backstage with a microphone. The guests below were in an uproar.
"Oh my God, this emcee is so handsome!"
"Which village is this kid from? Does he have a girlfriend?
My granddaughter is 22 years old this year. She's single! "
"Tsk tsk tsk, uncle, are you old and confused? Isn't this a celebrity who came to film a show? He was hanging around the village two days ago. Have you forgotten?"
"Oh, oh, oh, a celebrity also has to find a partner to start a family. After the ceremony, I'll take him to see my granddaughter!"
Qi Xingchen tried the microphone, gathered his emotions, and said the first opening speech.
Acrobatic performances required announcements. Because he was good-looking, he was often sent to make a guest appearance, so he wasn't afraid.
The atmosphere was immediately stirred up by him. Luo Qiuman and the others also applauded and praised, "I didn't believe Director Zhao when he said that Xingxing was a little fairy. Now I believe it. This kid is really smart."
Then the newcomers came on stage. After the two sides changed their names and exchanged rings, it was time for the newcomers to toast and perform.
Qi Xingchen went backstage to change into the lion suit. Bai Ye was already dressed and waiting for him. The two looked at each other and smiled. At the same time, they put on the lion's head and lion's tail.
The moment they jumped on the stage with the beat of the drums, the audience was stunned for a moment.
Lion dance was a very ancient art. In recent years, with the increase of musical instruments, dance, and other arts, fewer parents chose to send their children to learn martial arts and lion dance. It was rare to see lion dance live.
Especially after going on stage, Qi Xingchen lifted his leg very lightly and jumped high. He shook the lion's eyes and moved the lion's mouth twice.
The image of a little lion that had just come out of the mountains and was very curious about everything was vivid in front of them. It was charmingly naive and lively. It was not something that could be done by an amateur.
As the beat of the drums gradually increased, the little lion played on the plum blossom pile, sometimes jumping around and sometimes jumping up to express its joy.
Finally, it found the red embroidered ball at the top. After trying to get close and pick it several times —
Qi Xingchen whispered in the lion's head, "It's the last time."
"Okay, pay attention …"
After Bai Ye finished speaking, he lifted Qi Xingchen's waist and lifted him directly to his shoulder!
Qi Xingchen sat on Bai Ye's shoulder, took off the embroidered ball, solemnly held it in his mouth, and threw it to the most beautiful and happiest bride of the day!
Loud firecrackers sounded.
The bride received the embroidered ball and cried with joy. The guests also cheered and applauded for the cuteness of the little lion and the beautiful meaning behind it!
In the midst of the bustle, Qi Xingchen pulled Bai Ye back to the backstage and raised his fist at Bai Ye. "Thank you for your hard work. Happy working with you!"
When he spoke, his eyebrows, eyes, and the corners of his mouth were all raised. Compared to his usual reserved and mature appearance, Bai Ye realized for the first time that he was also a lively and energetic young man.
Therefore, Bai Ye smiled and bumped fists with him. "Happy working with you."
When the two fists touched, Bai Ye's hand was a little colder, and Qi Xingchen's hand was a little warmer.
Qi Xingchen was secretly curious. Bai Ye's body temperature seemed to be naturally lower than other people's.
But …
But when he pinched his waist, why did he feel so hot?
"Oh, right, Teacher Xing Xing."
At this moment, Bai Ye pulled his thoughts back. As he changed his clothes, he said, "Sing a song for the bride with me."
Qi Xingchen was stunned. "Why do you want to sing?"
"She's my fan."
"… Oh."
He really doted on his fans.
Qi Xingchen inexplicably felt sour. After drawing a few circles on the ground with the tip of his foot, he said, "Sure, what do you want to sing?"
Bai Ye had never sung a wedding song before. After thinking for a while, he finally came up with a popular duet song.
"Today you're marrying me."
