Boy group: In order to survive, I have to open business

During the signing event, some fans asked if the collaboration stage was real, and Xia Xinglang and the others had to say that they were still discussing it. No one knew the final situation, and it might just be a cover to attract public attention.

Many fans are saying that they have liked him since the JP1 period. Xia Xinglang couldn't bear to see so many fans sad, but it was also difficult to ask them not to have too high expectations, because the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Yingzhi said that in order to reorganize the stage, he even turned down the year-end singing party in Japan. Now he has no place to go and doesn't know what to do. He was arranged to participate in an outdoor variety show. Xia Xinglang also wants to participate, but they are not guests in the same episode. Yingzhi was sad for a while: "If Xiaolang was in the same episode with me, I would definitely protect you."

On the day of the variety show recording, Xia Xinglang greeted all the regular guests. There was one special guest who didn't come. They were going to climb a mountain in this episode. Xia Xinglang is actually afraid of heights. Originally, Che Zaixun was going to participate in this episode, but after a winter rain, Zaixun caught a cold and fell ill. Kim Seung-hyuk and Miu Miu were also infected. Now both of them have headaches and fevers. Li Siyu has the year-end exam, so Xia Xinglang has to go.

"Is Star Wolf afraid of insects?" a guest asked.

"Well," Xia Xinglang answered honestly, "I'm not only afraid of insects, but also afraid of heights, so I expect my ranking today to be last."

The resident guests are all very friendly. They helped Xia Xinglang put on the equipment and taught him to slightly bend his knees when going down the mountain to facilitate cushioning. The program is famous for mountain cross-country, and injuries are inevitable during cross-country. Idols are rarely invited, but the opportunity is rare, and idols must be able to fight for the camera for themselves, and maintain exposure in front of the camera after becoming famous!

"Xinglang has no idol burden."

Xia Xinglang: "Really? I still have a lot."

"It's so thick, and many people wear very little."

Faced with such misleading remarks, Xia Xinglang was certainly not stupid enough to ask who was wearing so little when climbing the mountain. He joked to himself, "That's because I'm afraid of the cold. The lowest temperature today is below zero."

The last guest finally arrived. Xia Xinglang was tying his shoelaces. When he looked up, he saw a familiar face.

Calculating the time, it has been a month since they last saw each other after the show ended. Yin Donghao looked at him and nodded, and Xia Xinglang greeted him with a smile.

But for some reason, Yin Donghao looked weird.

Everyone dressed neatly and set out to climb the mountain together. They had to slow down when they encountered gravel roads and uphill roads. At the beginning, everyone was concerned about Xinglang, but after the second slope, the other guests walked briskly, vying to be the first. Xia Xinglang walked alone at the back with a sports camera on his head. He thought it was a complete torture. The only thing he should be thankful for was that it was winter and there were few insects. If it was summer, it would be unimaginable.

Yin Donghao was waiting for him. Xia Xinglang said thank you, and suddenly remembered that he didn't know what Yin Donghao thought about the stage restart: "Brother Donghao, what do you think about the reorganization of the stage at the end of the year?"

"I dont go."

Yin Donghao's voice was like the thorns on a bare branch, very piercing.

Xia Xinglang: "Why?"

Yin Donghao quickened his pace. Xia Xinglang had a hard time chasing him and almost fell down because of a loose footing. When he saw Donghao looking back, he said that he was fine.

"On the mountain, I'm always afraid of being pushed down." Xia Xinglang said without any context.

Yin Donghao: "Has anyone ever pushed you?"

"Yeah." Xia Xinglang admitted, "When I was a kid."

Yin Donghao remembered the rumors about Xia Xinglang's family some time ago and stopped talking. They continued walking for a while and suddenly realized that they hadn't seen the guests in front for a long time. They were lost!

Xia Xinglang suggested staying where they were to figure out the direction. Yin Donghao looked at the reference points nearby and said that they should climb down from here and then cross a valley to reach the original road. This road was obviously not walked by many people, as there were rotten leaves and branches everywhere. As they walked along, they saw a whole horizontal tree in front of them.

“Just climb up.” Yin Donghao moved steadily. In Xia Xinglang’s eyes, he was like a superman. He climbed up a very steep slope, which was almost vertical at 90 degrees, in just a few steps.

"I can't get up there." Xia Xinglang gave up decisively, "I can't do it."

"Pull up by the roots of the grass." Yin Donghao stretched out his hand to him. Xia Xinglang prepared himself mentally before reaching out his hand. However, he overestimated himself. The soil became loose due to the winter rain in the past few days. He could not climb up by pulling the grass roots and branches. He could not find a foothold. Seeing that Xia Xinglang was about to fall, Yin Donghao held the tree trunk with one hand and reached out to him with the other.

Xia Xinglang grabbed his wrist with all his strength, gasping for breath, and it took him a while to find his footing again.

"Come up!"

"No!" Xia Xinglang gave up easily when faced with such a thing. "Don't worry about me. I'll stay here."

"Come up! I'll pull you up!" Yin Donghao tried his best to pull him up. Xia Xinglang was overwhelmed by his momentum. He tried other footholds, but he couldn't find any. He could only move his legs as far as he could. He must look very embarrassed now. Perhaps the program crew wanted this kind of shot, the glamorous idol looking embarrassed.

Xia Xinglang's forehead was covered with sweat. He grabbed the tree trunk and branches, and his palms were scratched and hurt. Finally, Dong Hao pulled him up.

Both of them were sweating, and they didn't care about anything else at this moment, so they sat on the ground and gasped for breath.

Xia Xinglang looked at Yin Donghao's hand, which was also scratched by the branches just now: "Brother, I'm sorry, did I hurt you?"

"It's okay." Yin Donghao was cruel to the end. In fact, in Xia Xinglang's eyes, he was just a stubborn kid.

"Brother Donghao," Xia Xinglang leaned his head on his shoulder, "It's just the two of us now, can we talk?"

"have nothing to say."

Xia Xinglang temporarily turned off the two people's sports cameras.

"Brother Donghao, you are the most..." Xia Xinglang moved closer to him, intending to use his old trick again, but Yin Donghao turned his face towards him, and the two kissed each other. They separated immediately out of awkwardness, not knowing what to say.

"..."

Xia Xinglang saw Yin Donghao's ears turn red: "Brother, what are you thinking about?"

Yin Donghao's face turned red, and his arrogance subsided a lot. It seemed that it was because of the kiss: "You, do you think I can forgive you so easily?"

"Can you forgive me now?" Xia Xinglang asked innocently.

Yin Donghao lost all his courage at this time: "...I forgive you."

"So you don't plan to forgive me. What do you want to say?" Xia Xinglang was very curious. "Tell me, do you want to take revenge on me?"

"Nothing like that," Yin Donghao said, becoming more and more shy. "You, ah, do you think I'm stupid and easy to deceive?"

"How could that be? Brother Donghao is so smart."

Yin Donghao looked at him with disbelief. Xia Xinglang originally thought that he would never get close to anyone, especially people like Donghao, Chengxie, Yingzhi, including Xun, Siyu and Miaomiao. Now that he thought about it, he didn't know when he would become like this. It was all the fault of this business system.

"So what did you want?" Xia Xinglang thought of what Yin Donghao had reminded him of before, "Who did you tell me to be careful of before?"

Yin Donghao said: "Song Jueming wanted to recruit you to join a team, but you didn't want to. He wanted to lend a hand when you were at your worst, so he had to force you to a bloody pulp first."

Xia Xinglang recalled everything that had happened before, and how Anton in his previous life said that he had snatched the last spot. Who was it originally supposed to belong to?

But none of that matters anymore.

"J Club said we could go if we wanted to," Yin Donghao said, "I felt it was a lie. Xiao Yu kept scolding me when I said I wouldn't go."

Xia Xinglang: "What are you scolding me for?"

Yin Donghao smiled and said, "I won't listen to him."

The two of them forgot to turn on the sports camera and were the last to arrive at the finish line. Everyone was asking them what happened and why their relationship had improved. They came back holding hands. Xia Xinglang said, "Brother Donghao is my angel friend."
