The door lock of the dormitory was changed to an electronic lock with facial recognition. The staff tested it several times and found no problems. After returning from the hospital, Fang Juexia drove Pei Tingsong back to the dormitory and let him rest in his room.
The others had not returned yet, so it was very quiet. Under the dual effects of the medicine and fatigue, Pei Tingsong fell asleep almost as soon as his head hit the pillow. Gently closing the door, Fang Juexia left the bedroom and went to the kitchen. He opened the fridge and took a look, but there was nothing he wanted.
Putting on his hat and mask, he went downstairs and went to the nearest supermarket. The sky was getting dark, and pedestrians were returning home with the sunset glow. After debuting, no one cared about them, so everyone in the group was used to going out on their own. Whether it was shopping or studying, they did not attract much attention. It was not the same as the imagined life of a celebrity. They were free because of the lack of attention.
Fang Juexia had already made a list in his heart. After entering the supermarket, he went straight to the target. He was not a person who shopped at supermarkets. Everything was planned out in his heart and prioritized to save as much time and energy as possible.
When he was picking out pears, he received a message from his mother. Fang Juexia took it out and glanced at it.
[Mother: Your grandfather woke up. I told him that you came to see him. He also asked why you didn't go back after dinner. You work hard, so you have to eat well, okay?]
Fang Juexia looked at the message. He could almost see the scene after his grandfather woke up. It was probably not as gentle as his mother said.
Perhaps it should be something like [He is not sensible at all. He didn't even wait for the adults to wake up before leaving. He didn't even stay for dinner. I think he is getting worse].
But the main idea was probably good. He could not help but think of what Pei Tingsong said to him when he was on the drip. His hand that was about to reply to the message paused, then he called back.
"What's wrong?" Fang Juexia's mother obviously did not expect him to call back. "You don't have to call back."
Fang Juexia stood in the pear area, surrounded by fruits of all sizes. "I am in the supermarket now. Mom, I want to ask you, how do I choose the rock sugar to make the sugar water … "
After shopping, he pushed the cart out and stood in front of the checkout counter. He took out the items in the cart one by one.
"Do you need a shopping bag?" The cashier was a young girl.
Fang Juexia straightened his back. "No need, I've already taken the shopping bag." He opened the shopping bag that had been folded into a small square. Perhaps it was because the appearance of a 1.8-meter-tall handsome man holding a shopping bag was a little funny and out of place. The cashier girl couldn't help but laugh, so she looked at him a few more times.
With just a few glances, he recognized him.
"Huh?" The little girl's tone was full of surprise. "You're Juexia Ge?!"
Fang Juexia subconsciously touched the birthmark at the corner of his eye. Sure enough, he didn't cover it well. He wasn't good at dealing with situations like this where he was recognized, so he could only smile. His eyes were slightly curved under the mask.
"Ah, it's really you!" The little girl was so excited that she forgot to scan the QR code. She sighed as she looked at the face up close. "You're so good-looking … Oh right, Brother, you're on the hot search list today! I didn't expect to meet you by chance! I'm so happy. This is the happiest day since I started working! "
"Hot search?" Fang Juexia didn't understand what she meant.
"Yes. A netizen happened to see you and Xiao Pei at a hospital. I saw it when I was fishing in the afternoon. At first, I didn't believe it, but the clothes you're wearing in the picture are real! "
Fang Juexia didn't expect that he and Pei Tingsong would be photographed and posted on Weibo when they went to the hospital together. Have they reached this level now?
"Are you sick? Are you okay? "
Fang Juexia shook his head. "It's just a cold. It's okay."
"Brother, your voice is so nice!"
Fang Juexia wasn't used to meeting such a passionate fan outside. He could only thank her profusely before returning to the dormitory with the shopping bags. When he opened the door, he heard movement and thought that Pei Tingsong had woken up. He didn't expect it to be Jiang Miao.
"You're back?" Jiang Miao was busy in the kitchen. "I heard that Xiao Pei is sick. Yiyi and I packed dinner and pork rib soup on our way back. They're all very light dishes. You haven't eaten yet, right?"
"No wonder it smells so good." Fang Juexia changed his shoes and walked over. He put down the shopping bags. "I just went out to buy some things. I was going to cook something when I got back."
Ling Yi walked out of the bedroom in her slippers with a bag of soup in her hand. "How long has the little devil been sleeping?"
Fang Juexia calculated. "Two hours."
"I'll wake him up for dinner!"
Fang Juexia helped the captain to plate the food and set the tableware. He sat down, took off his hat and tasted the soup. It tasted fresh with a hint of sweetness. It was the taste of lotus root.
"You guys are on the hot search list today." Jiang Miao sat down. "Did you know?"
He almost forgot.
Fang Juexia took out his phone and logged into Weibo while telling Jiang Miao about being recognized. It had been a long time since he downloaded Weibo, but Fang Juexia had only opened it a few times. He had already developed a habit of not using social media.
As soon as he logged in, he saw countless private messages and comments. It took him a while to open it again. He clicked on the hot search list and saw # Encounter with Pei Tingsong, Fang Juexia # at number ten. He clicked on the Weibo post that the cashier's fan had mentioned.
[Lucky Little Cutie: Can someone tell me if this is Pei Tingsong and Fang Juexia? Yes! He's super tall and handsome in real life, but I don't dare to go up to him. I don't think it's appropriate to stay in the hospital. But they're really good-looking. Both of them are really good-looking!]
There were a few pictures below. There were pictures of them queuing up together and also pictures of them standing outside the hospital. Most of the pictures were of their backs or sides, and some were blurry. But the comments had exceeded 10,000.
[Super Scenery: It's my fresh Juexia Ge! Look at my screenshot. There's a birthmark! It's an anti-forgery mark!]
[Not Qiuben: Damn, why is his PTS so high? He's at least 1.9 meters tall. Why is he wrapped up so tightly? Hahaha]
[I Got the Real One: Sob sob sob, I just changed my ID last night. It's really 555. PS: I want to know if Pretty Baby is sick or Grape is sick. Why is there no staff around to see the doctor? Brothers, you guys are working too hard.]
[ance0: But there are too many fake accounts … It's so annoying. Let's just take a high definition photo.]
[It's hard to tolerate if the group is not popular. ance0: Fans of the group won't even let passersby go? No matter how much you mock me, I won't be able to escape. Our Little Fake Card is so honored.]
[A Carrot: I didn't get it before. I don't know why these pictures suddenly hit the nail on the head. It's so cute to accompany him to see the doctor. Their height and face match so well.]
[Instant Noodles and Ham: F * ck, the green sweater on him looks so good. I'm waiting for the Leeuwenhoek sisters to find out about the brand. I want to get the same design.]
[Must Pass Level 6 This Year.] [Instant Noodles and Ham: I tried so hard to find it for a long time. This seems to be a limited edition from a very niche luxury brand. I don't think I can get the same design.]
[Did Grape grow up today?] [Instant Noodles and Ham: This sweater … PTS: I wore something similar to it in class once, but it's from last year. It's super expensive. 3,000 USD.]
[Hearing SZD: Damn, I think I found something incredible after looking at the building within the building …]
Is this sweater that expensive?
"Let's eat, Juexia." Jiang Miao picked up a piece of pork rib for him. When she turned around, she saw the weak and helpless Ling Yi carrying Pei Tingsong, who was as big as a mountain, step by step out of the bedroom. She couldn't help but laugh. "What are you guys doing? Pigsy carrying his wife? "
"I don't have a wife who's as big as a baby like him!" Ling Yi was so tired that he was panting. Fang Juexia put down his phone and was about to help his poor roommate. However, as soon as he walked over, Pei Tingsong gave up on this boring game and stood by himself. Fang Juexia didn't have the chance to help, so he could only touch his forehead.
"Your fever is gone." Fang Juexia was finally relieved.
Pei Tingsong felt a lot better after sleeping. He was not as groggy as he was during the day. However, his throat was still sore, and he felt uncomfortable when he spoke. "Your fever is gone a long time ago."
Jiang Miao said, "Come and eat something. This is a very famous restaurant that Ling Yi recommended. Try it."
Pei Tingsong sat down next to Fang Juexia. He realized that he didn't have a spoon, but he was too lazy to stand up to get it. So, he pretended not to know and picked up the spoon that Fang Juexia had placed upside down beside the plate. He scooped up a mouthful of soup and put it into his mouth.
"This is mine." Fang Juexia was not so easily fooled.
Pei Tingsong glanced at him. "I have to use it. I'm a patient."
Fang Juexia was speechless. The spoiled brat from the day was indeed the second personality of this evil child.
Ling Yi lowered his voice and imitated Pei Tingsong. After imitating him, he held his stomach and laughed. "You were originally a subwoofer. Now that you have a cold, you have a broken voice. I'm dying of laughter. Pei Tingsong, you sound like my grandfather now! "
"I don't have a grandson like you!"
During the meal, Ling Yi and Jiang Miao talked about the things that happened during the recording of the show. Ling Yi had a strong ability to describe things. No matter what he said, he could make it sound funny. Pei Tingsong and Fang Juexia listened and couldn't help but want to laugh. However, Pei Tingsong was sick. He would cough whenever he laughed. When he coughed badly, his face would turn red.
Fang Juexia's heart ached when he saw this. He subconsciously wanted to pat Pei Tingsong's back, but he was afraid that Ling Yi would tease him, so he held back. Who knew that Pei Tingsong would cough so much that he would die. He grabbed Fang Juexia's wrist and put it behind his back to let him pat him.
"How can you be like this? Hahahaha!"
"Juexia is like a tool."
After he coughed for a while, Pei Tingsong took a deep breath and turned around to smile at Fang Juexia.
"As an older brother, you have to be more self-aware."
For some reason, Fang Juexia was dazed. He thought of the photo he accidentally saw in the apartment. The carefree child in the photo overlapped with the face in front of him.
It was very strange.
The next day's activity was at noon. Time was a little tight, so Cheng Qiang ran to the dormitory before dawn to act as a human alarm clock. He didn't even need to think to know that these people must still be sleeping soundly, especially He Ziyan, Lu Yuan, who had just returned home in the early morning, and Pei Tingsong, who was sick.
However, to his surprise, Fang Juexia was already awake. He was wearing his morning jogging clothes and standing at the counter in the kitchen.
"Juexia, don't make breakfast. I'll ask Xiao Wen to buy breakfast for you guys." Cheng Qiang hurried to wake the others up after he finished speaking, leaving Fang Juexia's slow response behind. "I'm actually not making breakfast …"
Cheng Qiang urged the boys to get up and get ready like a mother. He rushed to the nanny van. Xiao Wen was already in the van. She handed the breakfast she bought to Jiang Miao. "Share it. Eat more. You might not have time to eat later."
"I want a meat bun!"
"Isn't this a vegetable bun? Are you still asleep? There are green leaves on it. "
"Give me a cup of soy milk, please."
Seeing Pei Tingsong reach out, Fang Juexia took the soy milk Jiang Miao handed to him and put it next to his seat. Pei Tingsong was puzzled. He wanted to say something, but his throat was uncomfortable. He was sleeping soundly, so he opened his eyes wide and stared at the man who was not blushing at all.
Fang Juexia did not say anything. He quietly took out a thermos flask from the bag at his feet and stuffed it into Pei Tingsong's hands. Then, he bent over and searched for a while. Finally, he found the cutlery box hidden in the innermost corner. He opened the lid, took out the spoon inside, and handed it to Pei Tingsong.
Pei Tingsong's brain short-circuited when he suddenly had a small jar in his arms, but he still opened the lid. The sweet aroma hit his face. He scooped it with the spoon. The morning sunlight shone through the gap in the car window and shone on the snow pear in the spoon. It was crystal clear, like a piece of rock candy.
Pei Tingsong turned his head to look at him. He did not know why, but he automatically mouthed, "Is this for me?"
Fang Juexia's pale eyes looked away. He pursed his lips and did not say anything. He picked up the soy milk that he had snatched for the first time in his life, held the straw, and popped it into his mouth.
This meant that it was for me! Pei Tingsong's heart bloomed like a small white flower, swaying under the spring sun.
He had never eaten Fang Juexia's sugar water before. Not even once. He had only heard about it from his teammates. At that time, they were quite disdainful and scoffed at it, saying that it was just sugar water.
But now, Pei Tingsong had long forgotten how he was like at that time. He scooped a big spoonful into his mouth with satisfaction. The snow pear that had been simmering for a long time had become soft and a little sour. Mixed with the white fungus that had been soaked in rock candy, it was sweet and moisturizing. His throat felt much better.
The tip of his broken tongue was a little sore from the sugar water, but it did not hinder him at all.
Lu Yuan's eyes were sharp. She turned around and saw it. "Xiao Pei, what are you eating alone!?"
"Why is his breakfast in a thermos flask?" Ling Yi was still chewing on a meat bun. "Don't we deserve it?"
Xiao Wen was puzzled. "What? I didn't buy a thermos flask. "
Pei Tingsong hugged his honey jar. "This is the sugar water that Juexia Ge made for me. Why are you snatching it? Are you sick?"
Ling Yi clicked her tongue. "Oh, it's amazing that you're sick."
"We can't compare." Lu Yuan shook her head repeatedly. "The little devil's heart is filled with honey."
Jiang Miao suddenly understood. "No wonder Juexia went to the supermarket to buy so many snow pears yesterday."
Even Cheng Qiang, who was driving, reacted. "I was wondering why Juexia woke up so early today."
He Ziyan laughed and exposed him. "Why do I remember that someone used to say that he hated eating sweet things the most? Who was it?"
Pei Tingsong cleared his throat and glanced at Fang Juexia. "Who knows? Anyway, I like sweet things."
Everyone woke up too early and fell asleep after a while. Pei Tingsong was the only one who could not sleep. He realized that although the thermos flask looked big, it was actually very small. He could see the bottom of it after eating a little. He thought for a while, screwed the lid, and put the thermos flask aside.
Fang Juexia seemed to be very sleepy. He rarely slept in the car, but today, like the others, he couldn't take it anymore. His head tilted to one side, swaying along with the car. It was a rare sight.
Everyone fell asleep. Cheng Qiang lowered the volume of the radio in the car. Pei Tingsong glanced at Fang Juexia a few times. He felt that Fang Juexia's head was about to hit the window.
He reached out his hand and grabbed the brim of Fang Juexia's baseball cap. He used some strength to pull him away from the car window and carefully helped him avoid the danger of a collision.
The anti-spying film on the window dyed the blue sky dark. Passing through a shady road, the shadows of the budding tree branches fell on Fang Juexia's gently swaying white face.
"… Next, we will announce the weather. Today's temperature: 9C ~ 14C."
The voice on the radio was very reassuring.
Thud.
His shoulder sank. The red birthmark finally bumped into his shoulder socket. Pei Tingsong sniffed and pretended that his reflexes had been eroded by the cold. He pretended that he did not feel that someone had borrowed his shoulder and only tilted his head to look at the window in the opposite direction.
In the dark world outside the window, a teetering petal finally fell.
"… Cloudy, sunny."
The car drove to the designated location. The stylist had already arrived in advance. Kaleido's new endorsement was for a very popular mobile phone brand. Although it was only one of the series, it was also the brand's most aggressive new flagship model recently.
The process of getting the endorsement was also very mysterious. This new series had six colors and walked the dazzling fashion route. Therefore, the brand aimed at young and popular idol groups. The positioning was more suitable.
When looking for a spokesperson, they would contact whoever was popular. The first in line was of course the Seven Luminaries. After all, their popularity in the past two years was real. In order to grind down a collaboration, the brand contacted many times, but the other party's response was very vague and the project could not be finalized. The product was about to be released, but it was still not settled.
Originally, this kind of thing was common in the industry, especially for big management companies. Most of them were not satisfied with the endorsement fee or felt that the brand was not important enough. Usually, adding more money would be enough. However, during this period, the card group suddenly became popular and became more and more aggressive.
The brand immediately tried to contact them. Unexpectedly, Xingtu was unexpectedly easy to talk to. After the price was set, they agreed and even said that they could produce an advertising song for them. With such a good thing, the mobile phone brand was naturally overjoyed. The two sides hit it off and completed the contract in three days. They prepared for the launch of the new product, invited fans offline, and broadcast the whole process online. They used their new mobile phone to broadcast the broadcast. It was very gimmicky.
In order to cooperate with the brand's publicity, Kaleido's style was also designed according to the color of the mobile phone. It just happened that there were six people and six colors. Fang Juexia wore a white loose sweater paired with black jeans. His dark brown hair was a little textured, and his bangs were blown into a heart shape. He wore a dark purple velvet chocker around his neck, just enough to cover the wound on his Adam's apple. Pei Tingsong wore a grape-purple loose sweater. His short black hair was blown up, and a pair of purple hippy-style sunglasses were placed on his head.
Ling Yi had a permed hair, which made him look like a teddy bear. The stylist matched him with a red denim shirt, which looked very cute. Jiang Miao wore a light yellow sweater, which was rare for her. She smoothed her hair and looked very obedient. Lu Yuan wore a pea green shirt, white trousers, and a pair of half-rimmed glasses. He Ziyan wore a bright blue trench coat, which was very eye-catching.
As soon as they went on stage, they were drowned out by the voices of the fans. At first, everyone was shouting their own names, but later on, it became a unified slogan.
"kaleido! kaleido! kaleido!"
"Welcome, welcome. I would like to introduce to everyone the global spokesperson of our Fino Fantasy series — Kaleido!"
After the six of them stood still, they began their usual greeting session. Then, they bowed to the audience and the camera for three seconds before straightening up and clapping with the fans.
"Our Kaledo team put a lot of effort into their styling today. They are really the best spokesperson."
According to the procedure, after the host briefly introduced the features of the new flagship, their latest commercial began to play on the big screen. Every time a person appeared on the screen, the fans below the stage screamed.
Ling Yi, who was standing on the side, whispered to Jiang Miao, "A few days ago, I was in a daze from the filming. I didn't expect the results to be so good."
Jiang Miao just smiled and didn't say anything.
"Wow, isn't this commercial very cool?"
"Yes —"
The host started the interactive session. First, he showed off the performance of the mobile phone. He asked everyone in Kaledo to take a mobile phone of the corresponding color to their own, walk to the mobile phone fixed on the table, and use the voice function to take photos, and even adjust the color.
Fang Juexia wasn't very good at taking selfies and was afraid of messing up this segment. After all, his teammates had all kinds of cute and cool styles. When it was his turn to walk up, he couldn't think of a good pose. He held the mobile phone diagonally in front of his face. The white body of the mobile phone covered half of his face, only revealing a pair of beautiful eyes and the red birthmark at the corner of his eyes.
The photo would automatically be sent to the big screen. Seeing this, the fans suddenly started screaming crazily. Fang Juexia didn't understand what was going on. He was very confused and looked around, thinking that a mysterious guest had come up.
"Ahhhhhh, fresh selfies!"
"Juexia Ge's eyes are so beautiful!"
Pei Tingsong was about to die of laughter. But when he laughed, he coughed. So, he pulled Fang Juexia away while coughing and went over himself. "It's my turn."
He stood up and adjusted his collar, using the dark purple mobile phone to cover half of his face, only revealing one eye. His eyes were slightly on the stage, full of aggression.
"Wow —"
There was another round of screams from the audience. Fang Juexia realized that everyone was just too excited to see the selfies.
"Okay, next segment!"
All the activities revolved around mobile phones, so naturally, there was a lot of talk about mobile games, applications, and so on. The organizers brought up seven high chairs, and the emcee sat on the far right to chat with everyone.
"We fans must have a lot of questions to ask. Now, let's pick one. Fans, remember, you can only ask questions related to mobile phones." After that, the emcee cued Pei Tingsong next to him. "Tingsong, choose a fan."
"If you choose, I'll answer, right?" Pei Tingsong asked in a hoarse voice. After that, he turned his back to the camera and coughed a few times.
Ling Yi: "Anyway, you answer first. You don't have to care if we answer or not."
"Okay, okay, okay." Pei Tingsong looked below the stage. "That girl in the white sweater dress is so excited that she's about to climb up the stage."
"Hahahahaha."
The girl took the microphone from the staff member, calmed down, and asked loudly, "Brothers, can you reveal each other's phone contacts?"
F * ck.
The microphone in Pei Tingsong's hand almost fell out of his hand.
"Good question." The emcee smiled and looked at Pei Tingsong. "Then, Tingsong will go first? We're very curious about the other brothers' contacts. "After that, she looked below the stage." Who do you want to see Xiao Pei's contact the most? "
There was an earth-shattering roar from below the stage. "Fang Juexia! Fang Juexia! Fang Juexia! Fang Juexia … "
Fang Juexia was also a little curious, so he turned his chair to face Pei Tingsong, smiled, and raised his eyebrows at him.
"Uh …" Pei Tingsong hesitated. He heard Ling Yi fanning the flames behind him.
"You have to take out your phone and read it aloud!"
He Ziyan tilted his body and looked over, adding fuel to the fire. "Yes, or we'll take action?"
"No, I didn't bring my phone up."
Who knew that as soon as he said this, Xiao Wen took his phone and went on stage, stuffed it into Pei Tingsong's hands, and quickly slipped away.
Was there such a thing?
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Pei Tingsong couldn't muddle his way in. He only hated himself for not changing his contact name earlier.
"Okay, our Xiao Pei has now opened a well-known instant messaging app. Let's look forward to what his contact name will be for Juexia."
Pei Tingsong also turned to face Fang Juexia. In fact, he was a little embarrassed to face him, but he was afraid that he would see his contact name from the side.
"Um … the contact name is, other than beautiful …"
He stuttered these few words, which was completely unlike a rapper's style. However, just these few words were enough to make the audience scream.
Fang Juexia's expression was a little puzzled. He picked up the microphone and said in a somewhat questioning and threatening tone, "Other than what?" He narrowed his eyes. "Beautiful?"
Lu Yuan was as excited as a mouse that saw a granary. "Other than beautiful, what else?!"
Pei Tingsong was forced into a corner, so he simply threw caution to the wind. He locked the screen, used the end of his phone to poke Fang Juexia's chin, and said in a joking tone with a hint of flattery.
"Other than beautiful, it's still beautiful ~"
