Chapter 17: spoilers
Original Translations: Crafted with Care, No Unauthorized Reposting Allowed.
Odense is cheaper than Copenhagen, so with the money Xingchen Qi earned, the guests were able to escape the miserable situation of sleeping on the street and booked two suites, one for men and one for women.
After so many days of hanging out together, we have become familiar with each other. Xingchen Qi entered the house and went straight to the bathroom, blocking the doorway in a "big" shape: "I'll take a shower first!"
"Okay, okay, okay." Yunfei Zhang did not care, "you quickly wash, in the car to polish a day, my body are going to stink."
"Okay, ten minutes!" Xingchen Qi ran in quickly.
Fortunately, there is a mirror at the door of the bathroom, Xingchen Qi closed the bathroom door tightly, took off his shirt and turned around.
In the mirror, he had a dozen purple bruises spread across his back, all from lying on the ground performing just now, choked out by stones.
To maintain balance, the top umbrella when the spirit must focus, so until the back of everyone together to count the money he felt the pain. Lie too long, the stone pressed out of the dent is deep, not painful, but can think of sleep is never good.
He went under the shower and took a three stroke shower. Pulling on his pants, his arm went around his back trying to rub the bruise away and be able to heal slightly faster.
"Atsu Atsu Atsu" at this time the bathroom door suddenly rang.
" Yunfei brother? I have to wait a little longer."
"No," a low magnetic male voice rang out, "it's me, Ye Bai."
The main man? What does he want? The hotel bathroom is a wet and dry separation, want to go to the toilet outside, can not be anxious to wash their faces?
"...... Please wait a moment, I haven't used it all yet."
Based on the sound of his voice, Ye Bai guessed that he had finished washing, so he didn't intend to nag and said directly, "I'm coming in."
After that, the door handle made a metallic sound of being twisted. Xingchen Qi nerves also with the twisted like, in a hurry to pick up the jacket, blocked in front of the chest!
Enter Ye Bai :"......"
In the bathroom, the cold white light set off the boy's complexion snow white, almost transparent. The jaw is beautifully curved, and the collarbone line under the slender neck is visible, with a few drops of water hanging.
The exposed large arms and small arms are thin and not wood, the muscle lines are smooth, a look at the usual focus on exercise. The waist is hidden behind the clothes, can vaguely see a little strong thin arc, a hand can hold the arc.
Seeing him come in, the boy's cheeks floated on a scarlet visible to the naked eye, and there is a tendency to gradually spread to the neck.
"...... What do you want, hurry up and dry," Xingchen Qi took a step back, "I haven't even wiped my hair yet!"
Ye Bai raised an eyebrow: "I thought you weren't afraid to look."
When Ye Bai pulled his clothes for him, he had said "It's okay, boys are not afraid to look", but I never thought this person would remember, Xingchen Qi gritted his teeth with hatred.
Seeing him defeated, Ye Bai's smile deepened at the corners of his lips, finally letting him go and asking, "Is the back hurt badly?"
"How do you know my back ......"
"It doesn't matter," Ye Bai released the arm he had been holding and shook the small bottle in his hand, "what matters is that you can't administer the medicine yourself."
Xingchen Qi swept a glance, the small bottle he had seen, it was the medicinal oil Ye Bai bought together last night. Last night Ye Bai was not sure whether he had a cut or a sprain, and bought two bottles of various types of medicine.
"Turn around," Ye Bai said, "and I'll apply it for you."
Xingchen Qi's ears were burning, "Thank you, no, I'll do it myself."
"Do you not want to delay Yunfei's bath?"
Xingchen Qi : "...... Hmm."
"Then listen to me." Ye Bai said.
I can't help it, it's really not a good idea for the two of them to be frozen here. And Ye Bai is right, the bruises are on his back and he can't rub them himself.
So Xingchen Qi pressed his clothes with one hand, braced himself on the edge of the sink with the other, and turned over in a very humiliating manner.
A certain Pai surnamed love bean has achieved a stage victory, poured the medicinal oil in the palm of his hand, rubbed it twice, "slapped" a slap to Xingchen Qi's shoulder.
Xingchen Qi : "......"
Has this young master ever rubbed medicine for others?
Ye Bai grew up in a privileged family, with a special aunt to take care of her life and a family doctor on call for any bumps and bruises.
When he made his debut at the age of 17, he won the Best New Artist Award with just one debut song and became a hot new star.
Do not say to others to rub the medicine, his own injuries are handled by others, a little experience in this area.
However, through Xingchen Qi's reaction, he could sense what he was doing wrong and rubbed slowly and gently.
The boy's arched backbone was like the curve of a musical note jumping out, full of rhythmic beauty under his hands. Ye Bai's hand paused and was lighter, and it took more than ten minutes before he finally finished rubbing.
.
I have to say that the medicated oil worked, and by bedtime, the back was surprisingly painless at all.
Xingchen Qi lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, his heart like a stone weighing down, always feeling that he should say something to Ye Bai.
But he did not know how to speak, thank you words have already been said, say again is not meaningful.
He fished out his phone from under his pillow and thought about Ye Bai's avatar. He typed a line, deleted it, typed another line, and deleted it again.
Ye Bai and the agent WeChat finalized the next trip, want to remind the little fan sleep try not to press the back, open the chat box, see is a line prompt: [the other party is typing ......]
Three minutes passed and [the other party is typing ......]
Eight minutes have passed: [The other party is typing ......]
"......" Ye Bai speechless, this person will not write praise letter to him, right?
Then don't, Ye Bai typed out one word: [Say.
Xing Xing : [...... Oh]
Xing Xing : [just want to, that, thank you]
Bo: [You're welcome.
Xing Xing : [Good, then I will not disturb your rest, good night]
Ye Bai looked at the word "good night", the mood is quite relaxed, just ready to lock the screen to sleep.
Xing Xing : [Wait!
Bo: [?
Xing Xing : [Can I ask, why are you so nice to me?
Why?
Ye Bai's eyes flashed to the way the boy was biting his lower lip and insisting on not extending his arms, his eyes shining when performing acrobatics, and his waistline that was unintentionally exposed when he bent down.
Gee, it's so white.
[No reason,]
Ye Bai A: [I spoil the powder.
.
With the money Xingchen Qi earned, the remaining three days were not extravagant, but also not tight. Every day walking around, finally found some travel variety of fun to.
On the last day of the first leg, when it was time to buy gifts for the fans to draw, Yunfei Zhang said, "Xing Xing, you pick first."
The number of retweets per gift can directly determine whether or not there will be a personal reward for the next trip. The money for the gifts was all earned by Xingchen Qi, so Yunfei Zhang let him pick first, and everyone agreed with him.
Xingchen Qi but shook his head: "I'm not going to buy it, I'm going to give the umbrellas and plates for my show to my fans ...... Don't laugh Man Qiu sister, those are the guys I make a living from!"
"Okay, okay, I'm not laughing." Qiuman Luo laughed when he heard that Xingchen Qi wanted to give his fans a broken umbrella and a broken plate, which I guess not many fans want.
In fact, Xingchen Qi knew the gift was shabby, but he had his own considerations.
If he took the money to pick the gift first, not enough respect for the seniors, not to mention, in case his gift retweets really to the top three, doing things too openly.
He really wants to get hot in a short period of time, but the first issue he has been in the limelight enough, have to give others something to eat. In case the other guests hold a grudge and find a water force to hack him in the dark, Lanxin Du's character is unlikely to care about him, and he won't be able to find a place to clear his name.
So the time to let go, the time to collect when you have to collect, this is the experience he summed up after a reckoning.
Seeing that he insisted on not buying a gift, we stopped talking and ran together to the mall to choose.
There is not much money left, each person has about a hundred crowns at their disposal, and it depends on who is more creative and thoughtful with their gifts.
While everyone was racking their brains to choose a gift, Xingchen Qi wasn't idle either. Yesterday, Yuji Qi called and said he wanted a Danish specialty.
In fact, she did not have any specialties, but only wanted "specialties bought by her brother".
Xingchen Qi bought Yuji Qi a small ornament and a painting. At the end of the day, I thought it was not practical enough, and bought her a new bag from a niche brand.
Yuji Qi was still uneasy and called: " Xing Xing, you didn't forget your sister's gift, right?"
"Nope, just finished shopping."
"What did you say, Yuji?" Through the phone, Qi's father's voice came through.
Yuji Qi covered the microphone: " Xing Xing bought me a gift, Dad you don't have one!
Yuji Qi was so pleased with himself that his voice was louder than usual, and Xingchen Qi heard him. He suddenly remembered the scene of Qi's father dropping off the plane before he left, and resigned himself to go back to the mall and get a tie for Qi's father and a pair of shirt cuff clips for Yunxiao Qi.
After all this, Xingchen Qi, who does not have an agent to help maintain relationships, bought gifts for everyone on the show. The director's is more expensive, followed by the assistant director, then the camera crew leader radio crew leader, etc., and the miscellaneous small venue services are not left behind.
Among the guests, the female guests bought trinkets with local characteristics, while Yunfei Zhang bought oil picture books. When it came to Ye Bai, he had a problem.
In Ye Bai's mind, he is his fan and must be treated differently. In his mind, he now owes Ye Bai two favors, and it's not right to buy one indiscriminately.
He walked around twice and was finally caught by a hand-painted store, took out his AirPods case and walked in.
