Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

After being nodded at and given a few more words of advice by Sister Le, Lin Xi and Xiao Hu pushed their suitcases, waved goodbye to Brother Zhao and Sister Le, and slowly walked towards the gathering place of the program crew.

As the biggest star in this variety show, Lin Xi was arranged by the program team to appear in the middle and back positions. This not only shows that they value her, but also prevents her from giving the audience a bad impression of being a big shot and wanting to be the last to appear.

When she arrived, quite a few people were already standing at the gathering place. When they saw Lin Xi coming, they all exclaimed and greeted her in a friendly manner.

Lin Xi looked at the camera that was shooting 360 degrees around her, gave a gentle and polite smile, and respectfully greeted and shook hands with everyone in the venue one by one.

"Oh my god, I actually saw Lin Xi alive. She is even more beautiful in person than on TV."

"Yeah, no wonder my sister's room is full of her posters and various small cards. This time, when she knew that I was going to film a show with Lin Xi, she cried and asked me to help her get an autograph. I just don't know what her personality is like."

"She has a good personality and is nice to her fans. Last time my friend visited her on set, she even treated her fans to milk tea."

"That's good. She's coming over soon. I wonder if I can shake her hand."

Li Xu stood in the crowd, looking at the person who seemed to have attracted everyone's attention and was slowly walking towards him. He couldn't help but be stunned. The last time he saw her was five years ago.

At that time, his hand injury relapsed and he was involved in a match-fixing scandal. Some extreme fans even found out his mobile phone number and various social media through illegal means, harassing and insulting him day and night, and even threatened to find someone to beat him up.

In order to allow him to recover from his injury and stay out of the spotlight, considering his situation at the time, the club's top management finally decided to temporarily suspend all his training activities and let him go home to recuperate.

It was announced to the public that his starting position was temporarily replaced due to his health reasons, but in fact, any discerning person could see that Li Xu was just a scapegoat pushed out to appease public anger.

After all, compared to making fans doubt the image of the entire club, pushing a club player who has made mistakes to take the blame is undoubtedly the best solution to save the big and sacrifice the small.

At that time, his contract with BG would not expire for more than half a year. He could neither participate in any training nor just leave. He did not want to face the pitying or concerned looks from everyone at the base, so he simply packed a few clothes and went home.

Of course, this home does not refer to the family of his adoptive parents, Mr. and Mrs. Li. That family immigrated abroad the year his GK ended. His current home is a small two-bedroom apartment he bought in Shanghai with his own efforts over the years.

The house was sold to him by a retired teacher who was in a hurry to go abroad to reunite with his children. Seeing that Li Xu was young enough to buy a house on his own, he sold it to him at a price below the market price.

The house is located in the old city, hidden in a winding alley. Even Li Xu himself had to stand at the intersection and recall for a long time under the suspicious eyes of the grandmothers shining from the windows of the alley before he could find the correct way home.

But one day, after wandering aimlessly outside for a long time and slowly turning the last corner in front of his house, he saw Lin Xi, who should not have appeared in this cramped and narrow alley.

Later he learned that Lin Xi, who was already a senior at the time, was busy with her graduation thesis and a new drama. However, after seeing the news about his suspension on the Internet, she still braved the severe cold and traveled thousands of miles from the north to the south, and even accurately found his residence, which even his coach and teammates who lived with him day and night did not know.

It rarely snows in the Magic City in winter. Most of the time, it just rains coldly with fine ice chips, but the chill seems to penetrate into people's bones.

Li Xu looked at the figure wearing a white down jacket, facing sideways towards him, breathing heavily at his hands and stamping his feet from time to time. Suddenly, he didn't dare to move forward. After hesitating for a moment, he hid in the shadow of a corner where miscellaneous items were piled up.

The lights were dim around the alley, and fine raindrops fell from top to bottom, making everything around cold and damp. Li Xu held his breath and watched the light in Lin Xi's eyes dim little by little.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, she took out her cell phone with trembling hands, checked the time on it, then looked in the direction of the alley exit, closed her eyes, and walked out of the alley with somewhat stiff steps, as if she had finally given up hope.

Li Xu watched her walking towards him, and calmly dodged his body, hiding himself completely in the darkness. But when Lin Xi passed by the pile of debris where he was hiding, he couldn't help but look up at her.

"Lili, you're right, Li Xu is a bastard! I will never care about him again."

Lin Xi's fingers were so stiff that she could barely hold the phone. She pressed the voicemail and said harsh words to the person on the other end of the line, but her slightly red nose and the traces of tears that had not yet disappeared from the corners of her eyes showed that her words were not sincere.

Only after Lin Xi's figure completely disappeared at the entrance of the alley did Li Xu move his numb legs and walk out. He lowered his head and thought for a long time, but finally followed her out of concern. Only after he saw her get into a taxi did he turn around and stagger towards home.

"Hello." The memories were suddenly interrupted by a sweet voice. When Li Xu regained consciousness, he looked up at Lin Xi, who was smiling particularly sweetly in front of him. For a moment, he was unable to connect her with the lonely person in his memory.

"Hello?" Perhaps noticing Li Xu's absent-mindedness, Lin Xi's smile deepened, and there was a hint of question in her tone.

"Brother Xu! Why are you in a daze? People are greeting you." Huihui beside him saw that he didn't respond for a long time, so he quickly nudged him with his elbow.

"Hello..." Li Xu blinked, then stretched out his hand hesitantly.

But Lin Xi didn't seem to care at all. She shook his outstretched hand naturally and smiled very sweetly, "Hello, I'm Lin Xi. You are the super awesome Xu Yan, right? I hope to be lucky enough to be your teammate in the days to come."

She said this naturally, without any shyness, as if it was just a polite remark in interpersonal communication. Before Li Xu could respond, their clasped hands touched and separated.

Lin Xi quickly withdrew her hand and went to greet the next person with an unchanged smile, as if in her eyes, Li Xu was no different from everyone else.
