Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

The team selection was completed, and today's shooting and recording finally came to an end. When everyone came out of the shooting hall, it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening.

The hotel booked by the program crew was about half an hour's drive from the filming location. The seats on the bus back were allocated by team, and Lin Xi and his friends' seats happened to be in the last two rows.

Logically speaking, there were five people in total, and no matter how the seats were arranged, the two girls should sit together. However, Huihui and the amateur girl named Qin Xiayue hit it off right away and had been chatting non-stop since before they got on the bus. After they got on the bus, they naturally sat together and continued to talk about everything.

Lin Xi looked at the two people who didn't seem tired at all, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that it was great to be young. After recording a whole day's show, they were still so energetic. Unlike her, she just wanted to sit down and fall asleep.

"I just have something to talk about with the people from ETER, so I'll sit in the front." There were only four seats in a row, but there were five of them, so Xie Meng took the initiative to speak.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Mengge." Lin Xi knew that he meant well. After all, all the members of ETER were boys, and it would not be convenient for a girl like her to sit there. She hurriedly thanked him with a smile.

"It's a small matter." Xie Meng shook his head, gave a somewhat honest smile, and sat in the front.

"Ah! Sister Xixi, I just noticed. I'll make a seat for you. You and Xia Yue can sit together, and Brother Xu and I will sit together." After hearing what Lin Xi and Xie Meng said, Huihui seemed to notice that Lin Xi had not sat down yet, and hurriedly stood up to make a seat for her.

"It's okay, just sit back and relax. We're all teammates and we'll be together for a month, men and women alike. What's more, the seats in the last row are more spacious, so I can take a nap." Lin Xi saw that he was sitting by the window, and if he wanted to get up, Qin Xiayue would have to make room for him, but the director crew had already notified them to leave immediately, so she quickly shook her head to indicate that it was not necessary.

"Okay, Sister Xixi, just sleep well. We'll call you when we get to the hotel." Qin Xiayue also spoke.

Lin Xi nodded and walked to the last row and sat down. Li Xu behind her hesitated for a moment, then at the driver's urging, walked to the seat next to Lin Xi and sat down.

The bus started moving very quickly. When Lin Xi said "rest", she really meant it. She closed her eyes as soon as she sat down. However, after a few minutes, her head tilted and she had obviously fallen into a deep sleep.

Li Xu listened to the gradually steady breathing of the person next to him, silently glanced to the side, and after confirming that she was really asleep, he silently breathed a sigh of relief. But after realizing his emotions, he smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.

All day today, his emotions seemed to be affected by her, but it was obvious that she treated him no differently than anyone else, and she even chose the KEE team just because she liked some cute things. But he has been uneasy about this until now.

But he didn't know why he was like this. Ever since he saw Lin Xi for the first time today, those memories that he had deliberately forgotten reappeared before his eyes like yellowed photos. Although it was a long time ago, they were still vivid in his mind.

"Li Xu, I like you."

On the terrace after the hustle and bustle had died down, the girl was wearing a gardenia white dress, her hair gently lifted by the wind, brushing across her blushing cheeks.

"After tonight, I'll be... eighteen years old, and we can be together..." She looked up at Li Xu in front of her. Her eyes, which always flashed with a cunning gleam, suddenly became blurry, and she spoke stutteringly.

"I don't like you." But unlike what she expected, the boy's cold words directly shattered the girl's thoughts.

"W...what?" Perhaps because of the half glass of wine at the coming-of-age ceremony party, Lin Xi didn't react to the meaning of this sentence for a moment.

"I said, I don't like you and don't want to be with you." Li Xu spoke again without hesitation.

"why?"

"Why?" Li Xu also wanted to ask himself why, after listening to his half-brother Li Wei's poorly acted words of discord, he chose to believe him without a second thought.

"Do you think your cousin really likes you? She just feels sorry for you.

"She has liked picking up stray cats and dogs since she was little. You should know this better than me, right?"

"It's the same for you. An orphan without a father or a mother is the best person for someone like her who likes to be a savior to show off her noble kindness..."

Thinking about it now, these words were full of loopholes and ridiculously childish. Lin Xi had no shortage of suitors since she was pretty, but although she had a gentle personality, she always kept her distance from those boys who showed their affection, and only acted unusually intimate with Li Xu.

Especially after she knew clearly that Li Xu was not her real cousin, she wanted to be with him all the time. Even during the ten-minute break, she would deliberately run up one more floor, pretending to go to the toilet, but in fact it was to sneak a few more glances at Li Xu who was always concentrating on doing his homework.

Her love was so obvious and unique, but the then 19-year-old Li Xu easily believed Li Wei's words of discord. After all, he was like a transparent person in the Li family.

Li's father and mother put all their thoughts on Li Wei, who was born with a weak body and was often criticized because he was too outstanding and Li Wei was looked at as worthless. Living in such an environment for many years, his character became sensitive and suspicious, especially when facing Lin Xi, who was like a princess surrounded by stars, he would feel deeply inferior.

How could a person who always doubted himself believe that such a brilliant girl who seemed to have all the good qualities in her could fall in love with him? Therefore, when the girl confessed to him with a blushing face, his inferiority complex overcame his joy, and he coldly cut off their relationship.

"The moon should be hanging high in the sky, not falling into the mud." Looking at the light and shadow coming in through the car window and quickly passing over Lin Xi's peaceful sleeping face, this sentence suddenly flashed through Li Xu's mind for no reason. Then he smiled self-deprecatingly and turned his head away and stopped looking at her.

But before Li Xu could organize his thoughts, he suddenly felt his right shoulder sink. At the same time, he heard Lin Xi's sigh in his ear. His body suddenly stiffened and even his breathing stopped for a moment.

After a while, he noticed that the person next to him had stopped moving. He turned his head stiffly and looked at the furry head lying on his shoulder. He carefully stretched out his hand, trying to push the person up.

But as soon as he moved, Lin Xi frowned and uttered two dissatisfied grumbles. The voice was very low, but the two were very close, so Li Xu naturally heard clearly what she said.

"Baby, stop it."
