Qin Yanchuan paused deliberately.

“Everyone has to prepare.”

Chen Mingfei hesitatingly asked,

“Can’t we prepare it by ourselves?”

Qin Yanchuan smiled at him, “No.”

Chen Mingfei: “…”

“Then we won’t be able to wear it if no one gives it to us?”

“No, I’ll make sure everyone gets a set. You just need to prepare for the other guests according to my requirements.”

“Oh.”

After announcing the itinerary for the next two days, Qin Yanchuan asked everyone to go back and rest.

Lu Zeqing leaned against the head of the bed with a pillow under his waist, opened the memo on his phone, and planned tomorrow’s itinerary.

Sleep until waking up naturally.

After lunch, buy a set of Hanfu according to the program group’s requirements.

In the afternoon, record a video with the new phone, and returned to the villa in the evening.

After confirming the itinerary, Lu Zeqing checked and opened a food review app, and began to select the restaurants to visit tomorrow. After carefully reading the best reviews, Lu Zeqing chose a buffet seafood restaurant.

It wasn’t far from the villa area, and there is a commercial street nearby, so he should be able to buy Hanfu there.

After he finished planning, Lu Zeqing put his phone on the bedside table and turned off the desk lamp.

When he closed his eyes, he felt like it was extraordinarily quiet. For a moment, he had the illusion that he was the only person in the whole villa. His head was abnormally clear, and somehow he thought of the plot that Chen Mingfei told him in the morning.

The heroine’s sister was smashed in the head, bl**d splashing everywhere.

His brain was suddenly filled with wild imaginations. Lu Zeqing felt his hair stand on end.

He retracted his feet into the quilt, and buried half of his head in the quilt.

If it wasn’t for the lack of oxygen, he would want to hide his whole body inside the quilt.

The quiet atmosphere enveloped him. Lu Zeqing forced himself not to think about it, but the more he did, the wilder his imaginations.

He didn’t watch the horror movie in the morning, but his brain’s imagination was far scarier than looking directly at the bloody picture.

Lu Zeqing hypnotized himself.

Think about tomorrow’s shooting, think about the final payment that he’s about to receive.

Lu Zeqing’s thumping heart calmed down a bit, and he finally could drive those strange images off his brain.

Lu Zeqing began to feel drowsy, starting with counting sheep… Money.

One million.

Two million.

Three million.

Four…

——Knock knock knock.

The sudden knock on the door made Lu Zeqing’s hair stand in fright. After a while, Qiao Anran’s voice came.

“Zeqing, are you asleep?”

Lu Zeqing: “…”

The frozen blood continued flowing, Lu Zeqing gulped, trying to sound calmer.

“Sleeping.”

“I thought you’d be scared.”

Lu Zeqing: “…”

“Since you’re not scared, then I’ll go to sleep with Chen Mingfei.”

Lu Zeqing: “…Mn.”

As soon as Qiao Anran left, Lu Zeqing’s psychological construction collapsed instantly.

He took a deep breath, turned on the light, and as if he was chased by a ghost, he immediately withdrew his hand, hiding himself tightly under the quilt.

It really felt safer to hide the whole body under the quilt, so this time he fell asleep in a daze.

*

The next day, Lu Zeqing woke up naturally after sleeping until he was satisfied. Under Qiao Anran’s plea, he cooked another bowl of hot and sour noodles.

Near noon, he received the mobile phone from the “gold master”. After getting used with the functions and usage of the new mobile phone, Lu Zeqing packed his things and prepared to go out.

His original plan was to have a buffet at night.

But he received it in advance, so he went there at noon, bought Hanfu in the afternoon, and went back to the villa early in the evening to edit the video.

“Are you going out?”

As soon as Lu Zeqing opened the door, he saw Chen Mingfei standing outside.

Lu Zeqing nodded.

“What’s up?”

Chen Mingfei glanced at Lu Zeqing’s equipment, and vaguely guessed it.

“Are you going to live broadcast?”

Many celebrities in the entertainment industry do live broadcasts. The money comes quickly and they earn more. Coupled with the gifts from fans, several third- and fourth-tier artists easily made millions a day just by live broadcasting.

“I’m getting some video footage.”

“Then… Can I go with you?”

After Chen Mingfei finished speaking, he regretted it a little.

He usually doesn’t need anyone to accompany him, but the program team didn’t arrange any activities these two days, and he doesn’t want to be under the same roof as Wei Yang. No matter how he pretends, he couldn’t just forget the six-year relationship.

He wanted to find something to do and divert his attention.

Chen Mingfei originally wanted to find Qiao Anran, but he somehow walked to Lu Zeqing’s room instead.

“Or, I won’t bother you.”

“Sure.”

Chen Mingfei’s eyes lit up, he didn’t know Lu Zeqing well at first, and he thought that Lu Zeqing was relatively withdrawn, but he later discovered that Lu Zeqing was just used to being alone.

Or rather, independent.

In some aspects, he is somewhat similar to Lu Zeqing. Chen Mingfei is also considered independent, but it was because he didn’t have any other choice except to be independent.

His parents divorced and remarried when he was a child.

They respect Chen Mingfei’s choice, but no matter which family he is in, Chen Mingfei knows that he is redundant. So he minimized his presence as much as possible.

Probably because they feel guilty, the material compensation from his parents’ is doubled.

No matter how precocious Chen Mingfei was, he desperately longed for his parents’ attention when he was a child. If possible, he also hopes that he can be more cheerful and lively, with a more pleasant personality, so that his parents may like him more.

The difference between him and Lu Zeqing is that Lu Zeqing doesn’t seem to expect to be liked by others, he really doesn’t need company and enjoys his time alone.

This made Chen Mingfei a little curious about what his living environment was like when he was a child.

Lu Zeqing is confident and generous, so he should have grown up with love. But after thinking more, it shouldn’t be like that. If gets enough affection from childhood, then he should be more simple like Qiao Anran.

Lu Zeqing’s life experience is very rich, perhaps the family condition is not really good. Lu Zeqing is different from rich second generations like them. He is not as free materially as they are, and his self-confidence does not come from material things.

Chen Mingfei didn’t want to think too much.

He knows that many people who are more independent in life may not have a particularly good growth experience in childhood or adolescence. For example, Chen Mingfei himself.

Seeing that Lu Zeqing is such a good person, Chen Mingfei didn’t want Lu Zeqing to have a bad growth experience. Chen Mingfei is inherently more pessimistic than others, and he really hopes this is just him thinking too much.

Lu Zeqing is independent yet optimistic, generous and courageous, gentle and romantic. How could such a person have a bad life?

“Do you need to do something? I can wait for you.”

Lu Zeqing’s words drew Chen Mingfei’s attention back.

“I’ll just follow you.” Chen Mingfei shook his head.

“It may be boring.”

“It’s okay.” Chen Mingfei knew that Lu Zeqing was actually quite easy to get along with, and it was no surprise that he agreed to his request, but he was still a little pleasantly surprised.

“Let me help you take pictures together, I’ve studied photography.”

Chen Mingfei didn’t know what Lu Zeqing usually photographed. When he saw him holding an entry-level camera and a selfie stick in the restaurant that day, he guessed that he was recording daily life.

“Okay.”

Lu Zeqing was not polite to him.

“Is it far?” Chen Mingfei said, “If it is, should I drive?”

“Not too far. It’s still early, let’s just walk slowly?”

Chen Mingfei had no objection, he was the one who wanted to follow Lu Zeqing. “Then I’ll help you with the selfie stick and camera.”

Lu Zeqing handed the things to Chen Mingfei. He could tell that Chen Mingfei seemed to be always worried about disturbing others, and if he didn’t let Chen Mingfei do something, Chen Mingfei may think too much.

“I’m going to eat at a buffet, can you eat seafood?”

“I’m not picky eaters, I can eat anything.”

Lu Zeqing is quite good at socializing, but being good at it doesn’t mean he likes it. As long as he wants, he can quickly integrate into a group and occupy a central position.

But most of the time, Lu Zeqing was too lazy to waste his energy and time.

“Can you guess what I’m going to do?”

“I can guess a little, is it a life vlog?”

“No.” Lu Zeqing was in a good mood. Seeing Chen Mingfei’s serious face, he couldn’t help teasing him, “Guess again.”

“Mukbang.”

“Close.”

“So you are a food vlogger.” Chen Mingfei was a little surprised, but it’s not too unexpected. “No wonder you were so focused on recording while eating French food.”

“Mn, if you come across a good restaurant in the future, remember to recommend it to me.”

The two came down from the stairs, and there were a few people who were sitting in the living room playing games. Don’t know where they got the game controllers, but they were enjoying themselves.

“Zeqing, Ming Fei. Will you guys play games?” Qiao Anran was the happiest. Seeing the two of them coming down, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have had too much fun and forgot good brothers.

“Ming Fei and I are going out.”

Qiao Anran’s attention shifted from the game to Lu Zeqing.

“Where are you going?”

“Did you find some fun place? I want to go too.” Qiao Anran rubbed against the two of them, “Take me there?”

“Please.”

He looked at Chen Mingfei pitifully.

Chen Mingfei couldn’t resist the puppy eye attack, so he turned his eyes away. Qiao Anran is occasionally quite clever, for example at this time he knew that it was time to turn his target to Lu Zeqing.

Before he could continue his “attack”, Lu Zeqing told him.

“We’re not going there to play.”

“Ah?” Qiao Anran was stunned, “Then what are you going to do?”

“Going to work.” Chen Mingfei didn’t want to lie to Qiao Anran, and it wasn’t completely a lie, but it wasn’t him who’s working.

There was already an extra tail, if Qiao Anran wanted to follow, it might disturb Lu Zeqing.

Qiao Anran was puzzled, “What work?”

“Want to know?” Lu Zeqing raised his eyebrows.

Qiao Anran nodded obediently.

“We’re going to…” Lu Zeqing lowered his volume, and Qiao Anran thought it was a hidden mission arranged by the program group, so he happily put his ear closer.

“Eat crayfish.”

Qiao Anran: “!”

Qingqing: Do you want to eat?

Xiao Qiao (staring): I’m not picky, I can eat garlic or the thirteen spices… I can eat spicy food too.
