APCF -Chapter 29 (2)

The rest of the trip went very well.

The team gelled well together and they found the pattern to the missions. In addition, with the existence of the little devil, Qi Xingchen, the NPCs could not do anything to this batch of guests.

The six permanent guests and the temporary guests at the next four stops successfully completed the recording of the entire variety show.

At the same time, whenever it got to the fan lucky draw segment at each stop, it was no question that Bo Ye’s gift was reposted the most. The one in second place was completely unexpected.

It was actually Qi Xingchen!

They both got an individual price money. The strange thing was that none of it was used during their travels.

Once the last stop had ended, they were all split up for their commentary interviews. The assistant director asked: “Little Xingxing, how do you plan to use your individual price money?”

“Donate it to the children in Niuben Town.”

When it came to Bo Ye, the assistant director asked the same question.

Bo Ye replied: “Donate it to the children in Niuben Town.”

Because both their thoughts were well in-sync, once the commentary interview was released, the CP fans managed to eat a huge candy.

Under the attack from both sides by Bo Ye’s and Qi Xingchen’s solo fans, they survived in the cracks, raising the “Last Night’s Stars” banner with great difficulty!

…

The night before they left the programme team was the traditional celebration session. Director Zhao booked an entire floor of a hotel for it, and the producers and investors were all present.

Bo Ye did not like this sort of setting and could only simply cope with it. It was Qi Xingchen’s first time attending this sort of event, so he sat in a corner, silently observing everyone’s conversations and actions.

After three rounds of alcohol, everyone had traces of drunkness on their faces. Director Zhao waved him over: “Come over, Xingxing.”

Qi Xingchen followed his directions and went over, then poured some alcohol for Director Zhao and an investor beside him, Chairman Wu.

“Oh, this kid is particularly perceptive,” Chairman Wu asked, “How long has he debuted for?”

“He has debuted for a year already, but only recently did he get the chance of exposing his face,” Director Zhao answered for Qi Xingchen, “He’s especially smart and quick witted, and he can bear hardships. He’s also a master of his craft, in the future, he definitely can’t go wrong.”

Qi Xingchen shot a grateful look towards Director Zhao.

As a well-known variety show director and writer, these words of Director Zhao would be considered as support and guidance. To be able to meet this sort of director the first time he entered a variety show, Qi Xingchen was extremely grateful.

He didn’t knwo what Director Zhao was actually thinking in his heart: the little devil’s future is very promising. If I form a good relationship with him now, next time when I need him I just need to curry favour with him to hire him, wouldn’t it be great?

After drinking a few glasses with Chairman Wu and adding the contact details of Chairman Wu’s assistant, Qi Xingchen felt dizzy and went to the deck to get some fresh air to sober up.

With the cool night breeze on his face, Qi Xingchen finally felt more sober. At this moment, someone called him from behind: “Xingxing, is that you?”

“It’s me,” Qi Xingchen asked, “Ziyu-jie, did you come here to get some fresh air too?”

“No, I’m here to find you.”

Liu Ziyu pulled on her trailing formal gown, then leaned on the railing beside Qi Xingchen, “Xingxing, there’s something that if I don’t tell you now, I’m afraid I won’t have the chance in the future.”

“What is it?”

“Sorry, and thank you,” Liu Ziyu’s eyes were sincere, “If it weren’t for you that night, I probably wouldn’t have the chance to stand here right now. It was you who saved me, yet I was against you at every turn before. I even gauged your good heart with my own vile one and thought you were going to neglect a person in danger…… I’m really very sorry.”

It was a matter from many weeks ago and Qi Xingchen had already almost forgotten about it, so he tried to comfort Liu Ziyu for a bit.

“No, Xingxing, you don’t have to comfort me. Please accept my apology.”

Since it was like this, Qi Xingchen smiled: “Alright, Ziyu-jie, I accept it.”

“Then can we……” Liu Ziyu asked tentitatively, “Then can we become good friends after this?”

Qi Xingchen nodded: “Of course we can.”

“Yes! Then from now onwards we are good friends! But let’s just be friends privately, if I get attacked maliciously online, you don’t have to speak for me and fight back so that you can save yourself some trouble.”

When she showed the real side to her, in addition to being beautiful, there was actually a wisp of innocence on Liu Ziyu that was more moving that Tao Tao’s.

Hence, Qi Xingchen answered solemnly: “Alright.”

After chatting with Liu Ziyu for a while longer, she wanted to head back to socialise and told him “if there is anything, just give me a call” before leaving.

Qi Xingchen didn’t get enough fresh air yet and continues to stand there. Not long after, another person appeared on the deck.

Bo Ye, who was in a black suit, scanned him from head to toe: “Are you drunk?”

“A little bit.” Qi Xingchen replied.

Bo Ye moved slightly closer and saw that the little fan’s complexion and expression were all normal. However, his eyes were not as clear as usual, they were misty and bright.

“Follow me,” Bo Ye said, “I’ll send you back to the hotel.”

“There’s no need, thank you. I’m almost sober, I’ll be alright with a bit more fresh air.”

Bo Ye respected his decision and replied with an “mn”.

It was rare for the city to be quiet late at night. Qi Xingchen was silent for a moment, then couldn’t resist speaking: “I have a question.”

“Speak.”

He remembered that when Bo Ye had introduced him to his fans earlier, he had referred to him as a “colleague”, so he gritted his teeth: “After tomorrow…… Will we still be colleages?”

Still be colleages?

Bo Ye chuckled.

Worried of the little fan getting drunk, he had actually been around all along since just now and just didn’t make any noise to interrupt.

Now that he saw he asked a silly question similar to Liu Ziyu’s, Bo Ye really wanted to laugh and suppressed the corners of his lips: “Not possible.”

So he was rejected, Qi Xingchen was stunned: “I apologise, I was too presump——”

“You’re not a colleage,” Bo Ye interrupted him, “You are my fan, and my friend.”

His alcohol-soaked nerves were a little stiff, and Qi Xingchen could not react in time.

Seeing his foolish look, Bo Ye helplessly shook his head and took a step forward:

“Why? Are you not willing to be friends with your idol, or…… you’re planning to climb over the wall?”
