Chapter Thirty: On the Road to Escape(1/2)
The high-speed train moves forward slowly on the rails.
Bei Yichen looked out the window, raised his eyes slightly, and saw the blue sky without a single cloud, and the vast fields outside. He felt quite comfortable at the moment.
Suddenly, he felt a weight on his shoulders.
Turning his head slightly, he saw Nan Xixi's head resting on his shoulder.
Bei Yichen shouted softly, but there was no response. Only then did he realize that the woman might have fallen asleep.
His first reaction was to straighten her head, but unexpectedly it fell over again.
After trying two or three times, the head seemed to have no bones to support it, falling back and forth from side to side.
In desperation, Bei Yichen could only let her head rest on his shoulder.
In her sleep, Nan Xixi seemed to feel at peace, and she even rubbed against his shoulder a few times like a kitten, as if she was looking for a more comfortable position.
Bei Yichen frowned slightly and looked at her, finding that she was lying quietly on his shoulder. These movements should be unconscious.
He ignored her, but thought to himself that this woman's heart was really big enough.
Under what kind of circumstances, he fell asleep without any precautions.
Listening to her even breathing, I guess she must be really tired.
Then I suddenly remembered that she had come here overnight after work and prepared food for herself, so she must be tired.
Bei Yichen thought of this, and a warmth ignited in his heart.
Looking at her sleeping face, I couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth slightly.
This woman is really stupid. She has no money and no mobile phone, so she followed her on the high-speed train. Don't she even know she's scared?
After all, there is no program team following us at this time, and everything seems to have been disconnected.
The two girls sitting opposite them were holding their mobile phones and secretly taking photos from time to time.
When I saw Bei Yichen looking at Nan Xixi so tenderly, it felt like everything around him was sweet.
In the eyes of others, the two of them looked like a young couple going out for fun.
While he was sitting comfortably on the high-speed train admiring the scenery outside, Sister Guan was eagerly looking for him.
Photos of the two of them holding hands in a taxi have circulated on the Internet.
No one knew that the driver captured the middle image of the driving recorder after they got off the car.
At that time, he was lucky that he was pretending to be two-way, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to see this beautiful scene.
However, he just posted the intercepted photo on his WeChat Moments, wanting to show off that he was driving two celebrities, but who knew that someone posted it online.
When Sister Guan saw the news, she immediately called him, but there was no response.
Only then did he eagerly find the director of the program team.
You wouldn’t know it if you didn’t hit him, but this one really shocked you.
When she learned that there were currently no staff accompanying them, Sister Guan's heart tugged together.
The most effective news is that they got on the bus back, so there should be nothing wrong with picking them up at the high-speed rail station.
Sister Guan expressed her thoughts, but was declined by the director.
He said that although no one was following him to take the photo, the person taking the photo was also coming back on the same high-speed train as them.
After hearing this, Sister Guan calmed down a little.
After the program director hung up the phone, he immediately called the phone number of the filming crew, but the news he received was that they missed the train and took the next train back.
Now everyone was nervous, and the only consolation was that they still had thousands of dollars with them.
But in today's society, without mobile phones, it is really difficult.
When the arrival announcement comes out.
Bei Yichen glanced at the person who was still leaning on his shoulder. He actually admired her for not waking up like this.
"Hey, wake up, we're at the station."
He pushed Nan Xixi gently and watched her squinting her eyes and pouting at him.
"Ah? Here we are?"
Nan Xixi squeezed her eyes hard and stretched out her hands to rub them.
Only then did she realize that she had fallen asleep, and she was still leaning on his shoulder.
The thought of this was both exciting and embarrassing.
"Well, Brother Chen, I'm sorry, I fell asleep."
"I've fallen asleep, is it possible that I can go back to the past after apologizing?"
Bei Yichen's words can really make someone angry to death.
When he stood up and prepared to get out of the car, he realized that he couldn't lift his arms, and he felt so sour that he couldn't express it in words.
Nan Xixi saw his frowning brows and his efforts to turn his shoulders, and instantly realized that he must be numb.
"Brother Chen, your arm..."
"It's okay, let's go."
Nan Xixi hurried a step forward and took his arm, "Brother Chen, let me help you."
Bei Yichen lowered his eyes and glanced at her, taking in all the snickering on her face, but he did not try to expose her, and just let her hold his arm and walk forward.
Walking towards me were the two girls I met when I got on the bus.
When they saw the two of them being so close, they couldn't help shouting: "Yichen, Xixi, you want to be happy, we will fight against each other to the death."
Hearing them shouting so enthusiastically, the two parties involved felt instantly embarrassed.
It was not easy to tell everyone that I was recording a program, so I could only smile and nod and say thank you.
Then the two people hurriedly left the train.
"Brother Chen, what can we do when we come back?"
"Didn't we say freedom of choice, then isn't coming back also a choice?"
Nan Xixi didn't have any expectations for him, but she still felt uncomfortable after hearing this.
Is it possible that they really just go back to their respective homes?
"Brother Chen, are you going home?"
Bei Yichen frowned and looked at her, his eyes wandered for a moment, and he couldn't help but wonder, what does this woman mean?
Could it be that she wanted to go to her own home?
"Brother Chen? What's wrong with you?"
Nan Xixi stared at him in confusion, wondering why he suddenly stopped talking and looked at her with that look.
Bei Yichen calmed down and said, "Um, where do you want to go?"
"I listen to you."
"Then, let's go."
Bei Yichen didn't think much and led her forward.
"Let's go and arrange a place to stay first."
When Nan Xixi heard this, she felt happy, which meant that he would not leave her alone.
"Brother Chen, we will still be together, right?"
Bei Yichen was puzzled for a while, and couldn't help but put his hand to touch her forehead, "You don't have a fever, there should be nothing wrong with your head, so why are you always talking nonsense?"
"I don't have one."
Nan Xixi touched her bangs shyly, and took the opportunity to touch her forehead, as if the residual warmth was still there.
When the two people arrived at the door of the hotel, she couldn't help but ask: "Brother Chen, are we staying in a hotel?"
"Otherwise, do you want to live in your home or mine?"
Nan Xixi's face turned red with embarrassment at his question, and she wanted to say that was not what she meant.
Someone in the deepest part of my heart whispered, if that was really the case, I wouldn't mind.
They came to the lobby, looked at the price list on the wall, and couldn't help but put their hands into their pockets.
"Brother Chen, the rooms here don't seem to be cheap."
Bei Yichen suddenly remembered that they were now people without money and mobile phones.
In the past, hotels were either arranged directly by sponsors, or arranged by the studio.
I didn’t even have to do all this myself. I didn’t expect that house prices would become so expensive now.
With what they have left, if they open two rooms in this hotel and stay there until the recording of the show is finished, it will not be enough.
