On the way downstairs, Cheng Xi shook his sleeves, tugged on his collar, and scratched his hair, as if what he was wearing was not clothes but an itch.
When he was at the table, Xu Lichu covered his mouth and muttered: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Little Chengcheng, how do you manage to be so cool when you are cool and so fairy when you are fairy? Tell me the secret, okay?!"
Shen Yi couldn't help but reminisce about the past: "My skin was as good as yours a few years ago."
Prince Han recovered from his daze and said with a forced smile: "Brother, marry me, hahaha."
Meng Bai glanced at Prince Han and reminded him with drooped lips: "Aliwell will be here soon, let's stop talking."
The words woke up the dreamers, and the guests who were just smuggling finally remembered that they had something serious to do. Xu Lichu quickly set out to arrange the wine bottles and fruit plates, making it look like Alice and Carl were having a meal.
The crowd dispersed, and Cheng Xi's feeling of suffocation became lighter.
By the time he asked about Xu Lichu's plan, the enemy troops had already arrived on the battlefield. Xu Lichu, who was dressed as a maid, blew a kiss to Cheng Xi and hurriedly led the others out to greet him.
Not long after, she heard a rough roar outside the gauze curtain: "Who is coming?!"
Cheng Xi: "..."
Are you sure the Waiguo actors understand?
That's right, the extras, who were level 10 in Chinese, really didn't understand, and started talking to Xu Lichu in a back-and-forth manner.
Perhaps this is what Lichu wanted.
One more minute can be delayed.
After listening to their eight-language mixed battle for a while, Cheng Xi couldn't figure out whether it was because the air circulation inside the curtain was poor or because he was too tired. Cheng Xi covered his mouth and yawned, feeling like he really wanted to sleep.
If he were at home, he would definitely go to bed quickly and cherish this rare sleep that he had not experienced for a long time. Unfortunately, the program was being recorded, and once he fell asleep, the tags #成奥不 dedicated# and #成奥修大名# might become hot searches tomorrow. .
He lowered his head and looked at his watch. Five minutes had passed. When he looked up again, he saw Tao Shiyan across from him with his arms folded in a relaxed posture and his eyes slightly lowered.
It seemed like she was looking into his ears.
Cheng Xi felt his ears feel a little warm inexplicably.
Two dark cameras were facing them, making it difficult for them to curse. Cheng Xi could only cover his ears with his hands and put on a fierce expression.
That means: What are you looking at?
Tao Shiyan raised his eyelids and glanced at Cheng Xi lightly.
In fact, he didn't understand what Cheng Xi was trying to do, but in Cheng Xi's mind, the look in his eyes automatically transformed into: What are you looking at?
It’s such an obvious provocation that northerners can’t stand it!
He pulled the tray, poured a full glass of wine, and pushed it in front of Tao Shiyan with a smile: "Karl, I say goodbye to you today, and I'm afraid I won't see you again in the future. Let's drink this parting drink."
Drink you to death!
As a professional actor, Tao Shiyan took the scene effortlessly and pushed the wine glass back, "Alice, since this is the last time, I don't want to waste a single minute."
"..." Cheng Xima had goosebumps all over his body, but he had brought himself into the role of Alice first, so he could only bite the bullet and continue acting, "But I don't want to face separation soberly. Carl.”
Then he pushed the wine in front of Tao Shiyan.
"I think," Tao Shiyan said cruelly, "Alice, drink it yourself."
Cheng Xi: "..."
There is a saying mmp, if there is no camera, he must speak out.
"Da da da."
At this time, there was the sound of leather boots hitting the ground outside the curtain. Cheng Xi pricked up his ears. It sounded like at least six or seven people.
——Xu Lichu couldn’t stop Aliwell anymore!
In fact, she did a good job and delayed them for nearly ten minutes.
Cheng Xi pushed the wine glass away carelessly, his mind racing. He had just been arguing with Tao Shiyan, and he didn't even have time to think about how to deal with Aliwell.
Through the gauze curtain, he saw a group of people getting closer and closer. Cheng Xi, who had little experience in variety shows, was inevitably a little panicked.
Then he heard the person across the table say in a deep voice: "Who is it? You guys want to break into my castle?"
The pronunciation is straight and round, with a strong sense of majesty.
The people outside were immediately frightened by Tao Shiyan. They froze in place and bowed: "Baron, I am Alice's brother Aliwell, here to take my sister home."
"We are having a meal, can't you see?"
"Look, I saw it."
The actor who played Aliwell was carefully selected by the program team. Hearing him stutter, Cheng Xi knew that he had not caught Tao Shiyan's role, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then the breath stuck in his throat - Aliwell continued: "But tomorrow is Alice's wedding, which is very important to us. I must confirm that the person opposite you is really my sister."
Come, come, the program team is making things difficult, Tao Shiyan asked: "How do you want to confirm?"
"Let her speak to me personally."
This is a trap, and the truth will be revealed if you open your mouth. Tao Shiyan refused: "I'm afraid not, she cried very hard."
Cheng Xi quickly picked up the rag next to him and wiped it hard on his face, pretending to cry accordingly.
Seeing his exaggerated acting skills and his face that was rubbed red by the rag, Tao Shiyan couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
Aliwell still didn't give up: "Then... let Alice dance her favorite dance."
Cheng Xi: "?"
"My dear sister, don't you know how to dance?"
This was simply a question. How could Cheng Xi dare to answer no? He nodded, put down his handkerchief, and stood up slowly, thinking about what kind of dance he should dance.
Tao Shiyan had been watching, but when he heard Aliwell's request, he seemed to have thought of something. He also stood up with Cheng Xi and made a "please" gesture.
Cheng Xi was startled for a moment, Tao Shiyan was inviting him to dance.
I don’t know what kind of medicine the other party is selling in the gourd, but it’s like treating a dead horse as a live doctor. Even if the jump is wrong, the extra two minutes can be delayed.
Putting his fingertips lightly on Tao Shiyan's palm, Cheng Xi performed an aristocratic salute according to what he learned in etiquette class in elementary school.
Tao Shiyan frowned slightly, then gave him an aristocratic salute and said in a breathy voice: "Have you ever watched a British drama?"
British drama......
Oh, that’s right! Cheng Xi suddenly realized.
——Judging from the timeline of the program group, the most popular among middle-class British society in the 16th century was a brisk line dance. Men and women stood facing each other, swapping positions with the music, and danced gracefully. It was cheerful and very entertaining.
He had learned the line dance etiquette class. He took a deep breath and danced the first dance step.
As a singer and dancer, dancing couldn't be easier for Cheng Xi. He completed the task easily. The dance steps were standardized and there was no fault at all.
Tao Shiyan's face softened slightly: "Not bad."
Do you need to praise me?
A thin layer of sweat broke out on Cheng Xi's neck, and his sleepiness became more obvious, he thought angrily.
However, Tao Shiyan must have guessed the intention of the program crew. Aliwell did not raise any objection after watching the dance. The two returned to their seats, and Tao Shiyan continued the cue process: "Is it okay?"
Aliwell said: "I still have one doubt."
"boom--"
Tao Shiyan slapped the table and said angrily: "Are you deliberately making things difficult for me and Alice?"
"No, no." Aliwell blurted out, stuttering in fright.
"Then you can wait until we finish our meal."
Aliwell was accidentally brought into the ditch by Tao Shiyan, and Aliwell could not react for a moment. Moreover, Karl was a baron and Aliwell was an ordinary person. There was a status difference between the two, and Aliwell could not be too tough.
The scene reached a stalemate, and Cheng Xi was able to take a break.
Five minutes later, as the time seemed to be approaching half an hour, Aliwell became anxious, and regardless of his title, he stepped forward to lift the curtain.
Tao Shiyan frowned: "Are you sure you want to go against me?"
"Sorry, Baron, I have to take Alice away today!"
Okay, now that the other party is angry, Tao Shiyan is not polite and shouts: "Where are the guards? Stop them!"
Wang Zihan and others, who had been waiting for an opportunity, rushed over after hearing this, and lined up in front of the curtain.
Logically speaking, there are six or seven grown men in Aliweir, and they will not be able to pull down the four people here. Fortunately, there are girls. Xu Lichu and Shen Yi didn't care about their image, so they went into battle with their teeth and nails, scratching and biting.
The other party was concerned about the safety of the female guest and did not dare to take heavy action. The two groups of people immediately started fighting.
Cheng Xi sweated for them and wanted to help, but he couldn't go out, so he had to stare at the time and planned to stop immediately after half an hour.
However, he was too optimistic. Just when he was just a few dozen seconds away from success, Aliwell broke the boat, pushed Wang Zihan away in the confusion, and grabbed the curtain!
Once the curtain is pulled open and the two fake faces appear in the outside camera, it is equivalent to declaring that the mission has failed. More than twenty-nine minutes have passed, and we must not lose in a few dozen seconds!
Cheng Xi stood up, preparing to find a place to hide. Aliwell seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and he didn't even bother to pull, and pulled down the entire curtain with a "swipe"!
When it was over, Cheng Xi closed his eyes unwillingly.
The next moment, he felt like he was enveloped in a shadow. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Tao Shiyan's face.
The opponent completely blocked him with his body.
The distance between the two was extremely close, so close that Cheng Xi could even feel... the other person's chest rising and falling due to breathing, and the hot breath spraying on his forehead when he spoke.
"Aliwell, let's have another drink," Tao Shiyan gently shook the wine glass in his hand, "He said he didn't want to be sober to see the farewell."
The camera only captured Tao Shiyan's back, and the two of them delayed the last few seconds on the excuse of drinking.
Of course, the wine was not drunk. There was a shooting tomorrow morning. Director Liu didn't want to see the guests drunk and not attending, so he quickly announced that the mission was a success.
Cheng Xi pushed Tao Shiyan away and lowered his head to straighten out his messed up clothes. Xu Lichu and others fought for a long time, even more confused, and joined the two of them in a confused manner.
Next comes settlement time.
Karl appeared with a smile and said happily: "I am very grateful for everyone's help. Now I ask Alice to send a gift-a girl's prayer!"
"Wow," Xu Lichu exclaimed, "the name sounds like a giant!"
"Based on my experience in playing games, the rewards for hidden missions are absolutely generous." Prince Han couldn't help but be greedy.
"Don't give points to Group C," Shen Yi curled his lips, "Their points advantage is already big enough."
As they said that, they saw Alice coming from the door. She put on a dress, and Shen Yi's eyes almost flew out: "It's definitely a good thing to wear such a grand dress. Will the points be doubled?"
Meng Bai: "Then let's continue recording? Let's go home and forget it."
With everyone watching expectantly, Alice walked up to Cheng Xi and Tao Shiyan, crossed her hands on her chest, and closed her eyes.
"I wish my friends Tao Shiyan and Cheng Xi the most perfect love in the world, and they will never be separated from their lovers. God bless, Amen."
After praying, she lifted up her skirt, bowed, and walked away gracefully.
...It's so unexpected. Shen Yi looked at Tao Shiyan and Cheng Xi and felt that the reward was too hasty.
But the two people who were rewarded didn't seem to care much. One still looked cold and rubbed the scar on his chin. The other lowered his head absentmindedly, not knowing where his thoughts were wandering.
"..." Cheap Dog program team, Shen Yi thought to himself.
Director Liu seemed to have noticed this, and before Cheng Xi could react, he quickly played the electronic sound.
"Ding~ Because Team C completed the hidden mission and helped Carl and Alice elope successfully, the plot trajectory changed, thus triggering the next level mission-surrogate marriage."
"Tomorrow morning, No. 0 will be regarded as Alice and sent to the squire's home to get married. Guests, please use your brains to make a plan to rescue your little friend!"
"Ding~ Today's room allocation has been completed. According to the points, the rooms in group c are the deluxe rooms on the second floor 201.202; the rooms in group a are the servant rooms on the first floor 101.102; the rooms in group b are the woodshed outside the castle. I wish everyone a beautiful night."
Born in the new era and raised under the red flag, everyone present had not heard such cruel words as "sleeping in the servant's room" and "sleeping in the stable" for who knows how long. Meng Bai's expression was slightly gloomy: "Sister Yi, I'm sorry, it's me. It's dragging you down."
The camera was on, Shen Yi shook his head and said nothing.
Xu Lichu had nothing to say about the show crew's shameless behavior, but she got used to it. She saw Cheng Xi passing by out of the corner of her eye and even cared about the handsome guy.
She walked up to Tao Shiyan and said, "Teacher Tao, please take care of Xiao Chengcheng at night. He seems to be sick."
"Sick?" Tao Shiyan frowned.
"It's probably a fever, his face is so red."
Xu Lichu looked serious, "My neck, face, and ears are all red, and I don't know how. Bah, the dog show crew is really inhumane!"
