APCF -Chapter 13 (1)

Liu Ziyu’s smile instantly froze.

The cameraman facing her covered his mouth as his shoulders shook, seeming to hold back his laughter excruciatingly.

In actual fact, no one could blame the cameraman. Liu Ziyu getting the wrong idea and then putting on an air of pretension just now was way too obvious, anyone would have been able to see it.

Only the standing owner could not see Liu Ziyu’s facial expression; he still could not stop the praises of how Qi Xingchen was so good-looking, and how much he liked him sprouting from his mouth.

Qi Xingchen was still able to listen at the start, but afterwards, he could not even hold onto his face1 and faked a smile: “I’m very flattered, thank you2 for your hospitality.”

“You’re too modest my boy3, I hope to see you again next time!!!”

Naturally, you’ll want to see me again, since seeing me once would earn you a ton of money, Qi Xingchen thought in his heart.
He could guess that this was done by the manager because if the owner really wanted to gift dishes to a male, there was obviously a better looking one beside him, the choice would never be him.

He stole a covert glance at the “better looking” Bo Ye: the corners of that person’s lips were curved up slightly, though he was unsure if it was happy or mocking.

“Full?”
Seeming to have felt someone looking at him, Bo Ye raised his left eyebrow, which brought the outer corner of his eye up the tail of his eye as well, “Be more focused when eating, best-looking person.”

Qi Xingchen: “……”
His face burnt completely into ashes.

The afternoon mainly consisted of sightseeing. Since Copenhagen was not large, the 6 of them quickly finished their stroll as they chatted while walking.

After heading back to the hotel to pick up their luggage, they decided to rent a cottage in the countryside as Liu Qiuman suggested. The price was cheap, and most importantly, the living conditions were good.

On the way to the Aunslev Village, Qi Xingchen twisted his body to hug the back of his seat and blinked his eyes non-stop at Director Zhao.

The blinking raised goosebumps on Director Zhao: “What’s wrong, Xingxing?”

“I just wanted to ask, our requirement is to travel to a different place every day, right?”

Director Zhao: “……Right.”

“There’s no requirement that the places of interest have to be at different places, correct?”

“……Correct,” Director Zhao heightened his vigilance, “But if it’s at the same location — let’s say Aunslev Village, walking from the tree at the beginning of the village to the tree at the end of the village definitely doesn’t count as two places of interest.”

Bo Ye who was sitting beside him was resting his eyes. Afraid of disturbing him, Qi Xingchen waved his hands in mock-seriousness and whispered: “We won’t, we have to be responsible for the audience and certainly won’t use the same village twice.”

As he said this, he opened up Google Maps and pointed at the screen: “There are two other villages around Aunslev Village7 with stunning sceneries that are unique from one another. Does that count as two different places of interest?”

Director Zhao: “……Did all the d*mn brains grow in you???”

.

Director Zhao did not want to agree, but since the words have already been said, he had no choice but to agree.

Arriving at Aunslev Village, they quickly rented a villa from a local farmer. There were two floors, with a total of four rooms.

To prevent the same awkward incident as the last time from happening, the crowd decided to let the oldest amongst them, Luo Qiuman, stay in a room by herself, while Tao Tao and Liu Ziyu would stay together in another room.

When it came to the males, Qi Xingchen learnt to race to be the first to answer: “Senior Bo Ye has poor sleep, let him have a room to himself. Yunfei-ge, we’ll just have to squeeze for a bit, is that alright?”

Zhang Yunfei agreed laughingly, and everyone returned to their respective rooms. After arranging all of his personal items, Qi Xingchen flopped onto his bed and looked through WeChat.

The friend request he had sent to Bo Ye yesterday was still not approved.

Bo Ye’s display image was a photo of in-ear monitors. The lighting was dim, and among the disorder of light and shadows, a hand reached out towards the in-ear monitors.

Qi Xingchen could recognise that the hand was Bo Ye’s hand. And that pair of in-ear monitors was actually the gift he gave Bo Ye through the official fan club on the fifth anniversary of his debut.

It was a custom model, which cost him almost a year’s worth of savings.

The inside of the casing was engraved with a line: I look up to you from the abyss.

Qi Xingchen specially urged customer service to conceal the engraving a little, so Bo Ye should not be able to see it.
Only that for some unknown reason, even though Bo Ye had so many in-ear monitors that could go with various looks, he just had to use the one he gifted as his display picture.

Qi Xingchen was stupified for a long time, then shook his head and opened the Weibo app. The ensuing @s that blasted directly in his face startled him!

Up to more than 20,000 entries!!!!

What was going on here??? He didn’t get slandered by someone, did he???
