Lian Jingxing felt that her words were very suspicious, and tilted his head to stare at her. ADXGVv
 
When Yu Anyi saw this, she winked at him and said nicely, “Eat the food.”
 
After the meal, Yu Anyi took a selfie of the three of them sitting together, then put away her phone, “You can post a tweet after the recording,” she turned to look at Ji Qingzhou, “Remember to forward it when the time comes.” fq Wlt
 
Ji Qingzhou nodded.
 
“What about me?” Lian Jingxing asked her, “Do I need it?” gm364O
 
“You could also not retweet it,” Yu Anyi said, “Once you do, the CP fans would explode again.”
 
Lian Jingxing: ….… BeGzRZ
 
“But,” Yu Anyi thought about it, “wouldn’t it seem like I’m backstabbing you if you didn’t forward it? How disgraceful that would be for me.”
 
Lien Jingxing made a sound of agreement. 2eXh4o
 
Yu Anyi slapped the table, “How about this,” she picked up her phone again, and said to Ji Qingzhou, “Let’s take a picture without him. This way, it won’t be necessary for him to forward it, and won’t it not look like I’m being generous?”

Lian Jingxing:.… 8F7O5N
 
Ji Qingzhou was sensitive and thought he caught a change in Lian Jingxing’s expression. “That’s not very good,” he said, “this variety show is senior brother’s homeground. I am a newcomer to this season, and you are a promotional guest. The three of us are from the same company, but if only the two of us take a selfie, wouldn’t they think that there is conflict between us and senior brother?”
 
Yu Anyi thought about it and thought that it was also true. ugZn1j
 
She put down her phone and said helplessly, “Then you both forward it, alas, sadness.”
 
Lian Jingxing:…..… FrGJcs
 
Lian Jingxing stood up and said, “You’re thinking too much,” and stepped out of the restaurant.
 
Ji Qingzhou watched him leave and asked Yu Anyi, “Is he angry?” cOsudj

“I think senior brother is pretty good.” Ji Qingzhou said. 4pcB7K
 
“Then what do you think of me?” Yu Anyi asked him.
Chrysanthemum Garden.
 
Ji Qingzhou laughed, “You’re also pretty good, very cute too.” xY3zNj
 
Yu Anyi thought she was very cute too, “Too bad Chu Cheng doesn’t think so, that blind man!”
 
Ji Qingzhou patted her shoulder, “Sexual orientation is something, no one can do anything about it. Fragrant grass can be found in even the most remote corner of the world , I think senior brother is also pretty good.”
 
Yu Anyi took his hand off, “You’re learning pretty fast. Am I a ball? Being kicked around by you guys. Let’s go, return to our rooms and rest.” vDodRS
 
Cai Li didn’t go to dinner and hid in her room alone, thinking about the morning’s events. After her emotions calmed down, she felt that she was indeed a bit impulsive today. She shouldn’t have done it so soon. Yu Anyi was right, at least wait until she left before doing it, so that she would be more advantageous in a situation where there was only one girl, Bei Wanyao.
 
As she was thinking, she suddenly heard a knock on the door. Cai Li walked to the door and opened it, finding Lian Jingxing outside. Surprised, she stepped aside to open the door fully and asked him, “Something wrong?” tZEfdV
 
Lian Jingxing watched her movements and could tell that she was afraid of their conversation being overheard and wanted him to enter and talk. However, he had never liked going into girl’s rooms, let alone going into a girl’s room for no particular reason. There would inevitably be gossip, so he never goes in.
 
“Not going in,” he said, “Long story short, what happened today is the first and last time. If you’re targeting Ji Qingzhou because you think he’s taking up Li Wei’s resources, then I can tell you very clearly that the reason Ji Qingzhou was able to go on this show was me. I recommended him. Even if nothing had happened to Li Wei, he would still be here.” jLeXZs
 
Cai Li guessed that he should have come for Ji Qingzhou’s sake, but didn’t expect him to say something like this, “Brother Lian, I thought you hated him.”

“I don’t.” IdyhQK
 
“But isn’t he taking up your resources and sucking your blood right now? If it weren’t for you, how could he come to this variety show?”
 
“You’re overthinking it.” Lian Jingxing replied. jJURWL
 
Cai Li was different from Meng Yuanbai. Meng Yuanbai and him were friends so he was willing to explain. Cai Li wasn’t, so Lian Jingxing didn’t bother explaining that much to her, “I’ll leave it at that. I don’t want to see it a second time.”
 
He said and turned to walk to his room. Cai Li stared after him, not understanding his words. 6 3yEm
 
Ji Qingzhou went back to his room and laid down on his bed, thinking about all the things that happened today, feeling quite tumultuous. He picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Chu Cheng: is it convenient to pick up a video call?
 
Chu Cheng was reading this quarter’s report, and halfway through, he received Ji Qingzhou’s message. He looked at the words on WeChat and was a little hesitant. He felt that Ji Qingzhou had the tendency to cross the boundary, so he intended to cool down their relationship. He wanted to tell Ji Qingzhou not to take so much initiative in the future. Chu Cheng taking initiative was fine, they could maintain some distance. h8n5gf
 
He put down his phone, intending to pretend that he didn’t see it, but a thought quickly flitted through his mind. This variety recording was Ji Qingzhou’s first time meeting Luo Yuxin. Although he and Luo Yuxin were not considered rivals, because of Fang Yaoxuan’s fuckery, there would inevitably be comparisons in his heart. This time, did he send a text because he saw Luo Yuxin and wasn’t feeling good?
 
When Chu Cheng thought of this, he found it hard to bear and eventually persuaded himself to respond. Either way, he couldn’t let his little lover suffer because of Luo Yuxin and then because of himself. Ji Qingzhou wasn’t a qualified little lover, but he was a qualified golden backer ah! As a father, it was inevitable to be patient with the child. kNSbyo
 
Once Chu Cheng convinced himself, he raised his hand to video call Ji Qingzhou. Ji Qingzhou saw the video invitation pop up on his phone and sat up in a hurry, half leaning on the bed as he accepted the call, smiling while looking at him.

Chu Cheng originally thought that he had been wronged by Luo Yuxin, and came to himself for comfort, but he didn’t expect that what caught his eye was a smiling face, “You look quite happy, huh?” z9eOVu
 
“Yeah.” Ji Qingzhou said, “I just finished recording the first part of the variety, and guess what we recorded?”
 
“What is it?” Chu Cheng asked him. NVpWYq
 
“Secret room escape.”
 
“You played well?” Zcz8Ev
 
Ji Qingzhou nodded, “How do you know?”
 
“If not would you volunteer to tell me about it?” Chu Cheng laughed, “You’re only so proactive every time you open the screen.” bQoXup
 
Ji Qingzhou was a little embarrassed by what he said, but still couldn’t help but want to share his joy, “I did perform very well. I found crucial information several times and I was also the one who caught the mole in the end. I think I’m pretty good.”
 
“That’s indeed quite impressive.” Chu Cheng replied. zJoECm
 
“Did Luo Yuxin give you a hard time?” He asked.

Ji Qingzhou mulled it over, “Argued with me a bit, but I argued back.” hIbBZe
 
“So he wasn’t angry?”
 
“I don’t know about that, but I just realized a problem after recording. This variety is personas for each individual. Luo Yuxin’s persona is intelligent and wise, so the secret room escape is actually more suitable for his persona. I argued with him several times in this segment and also repeatedly made him speechless, this is virtually breaking his persona, isn’t it? It’s normal for him to be angry.” cKwZCr
 
“You said that Luo Yuxin’s persona is intelligent and wise, but what about you?” Chu Cheng was curious.
 
“I don’t have a persona,” Ji Qingzhou said, “The program team said I could go in the direction of being funny and stupid, but I’m not good at being funny, so I didn’t intentionally try to be funny.” 9DAsMx
 
“Who says you’re not good at being funny,” Chu Cheng felt that he had some misunderstanding of his own perception, “You’re quite funny sometimes.”
 
“Am I?” Ji Qingzhou was confused, “When?” G9ucef
 
“For example, when you said you were going to be an only child.” Chu Cheng still couldn’t help but laugh now when he remembered his words in the car at the time, finding each of his sudden metaphors particularly vivid and interesting.
 
Ji Qingzhou didn’t expect him to mention this and helplessly laughed, “That’s different, that’s when I’m talking to you.” JHcQFS
 
“You have one personality pasted front and another on your back ah?” Chu Cheng ridiculed him.

Ji Qingzhou drummed his cheeks and didn’t say anything. It was true that he was more freely liberal in front of Chu Cheng, and it was also true that when he was with others, he wouldn’t easily say anything that came to mind. i2Xb0B
 
When Chu Cheng saw that he didn’t answer, he didn’t embarrass him and asked him a different question, “How are you getting along with Lian Jingxing?”
 
Ji Qingzhou nodded, “It’s quite good, my senior brother takes care of me quite well, we are on the same team for this recording. Anyi is also on the same team.” 4ZYmhJ
 
“That’s fine, Lian Jingxing’s position is high there. Since he’s willing to take care of you, the others wouldn’t dare to touch you.”
 
“Other than Luo Yuxin, everyone else gives me a pretty good feeling. Oh, and Cai Li,” Ji Qingzhou remembered what Chu Cheng had said before, to give him a word when something happens, or at least let him know, so he told Chu Cheng about what happened in the secret room, and lamented, “This time, I’m quite thankful to Anyi. Cai Li is a girl, I rebuffed her, and even if I won, it would feel like I was the one bullying her. Anyi was much more suitable than me.” BAKZV5
 
“But Anyi is only recording this one episode with you, so what if Cai Li comes up with this kind of bad move again in the future?”
 
“It’s simple,” said Ji Qingzhou, “She’s a person with a criminal record now. If she pulls this kind of dirty trick again, I’ll ask if everyone remembers how she framed me last time. People aren’t stupid, they’ll definitely wonder if she’s up to her old tricks first.” CJseFg
 
Chu Cheng nodded, “As long as you know what you’re doing.”
 
“Mm.” 9kvqE0
 
Ji Qingzhou and Chu Cheng chatted for a while, before he reluctantly hung up the video call and prepared to sleep. He laid on the bed and looked at the date on his phone, hesitating whether or not he should send Chu Cheng a gift for Christmas. If he did, what would be appropriate?

He was pondering, but he heard a knock on the door, Ji Qingzhou walked over and opened the door, he saw the program director standing outside, Ji Qingzhou was surprised and asked, “Director, what is it?” TyOke6
 
The director entered the room and sat down with him on the couch, smiling at him and complimenting him, “You were very good in the back room today, Qingzhou, very smart.”
 
“Thank you.” Ji Qingzhou said politely. ZDT1sp
 
“But,” the director sighed, “You also know, our variety show is set up by someone, the secret room you played very well, there’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just that in the future, can you hide this sharpness of yours a little bit? As you know, if you shoot a bird with a gun, the wood will show up in the forest and the wind will destroy it ..”
