Chapter 21 Pocky

"Boss, I got the earbuds and sent them to you?"

Zhu Lianzhen just woke up, lying on the bed and replying to A Xu in a daze: "Give it to them, I'm too sleepy."

"Then why do I come here?" A Xu waited for a long time, but there was still no news from Zhu Lianzhen, and he seemed to have gone back to sleep.She can probably guess that the boss's ulterior motives are nothing more than that he doesn't want to express his concern to his teammates, because it doesn't fit his usual personality and the atmosphere in their team.

After much deliberation, A Xu could only pretend that these sets of customized earbuds were Sister Pei's idea, anyway, they wouldn't pay too much attention to such small items.

When she arrived at the dormitory, it was Tanqing who lifted the door control for her. Axu originally planned to put down her things and leave, but the other party invited her to sit down and rest.

"Sister Pei did say to order a set for us last week, but it arrived so soon." Tan Qing handed her a bottle of drink, "Are there only four sets?"

Hearing his question, A Xu almost panicked, but fortunately she reacted quickly: "Oh, because Zhu Lianzhen just got new ones, so I just need to order for you."

"Thank you for making the trip, thank you." Tan Qing nodded politely, "Originally these things are not within your scope of work."

"You're welcome." Axu waved his hand.Although she is Zhu Lianzhen's personal assistant, she also worked for the entire group during the group activities, "By the way, have you had breakfast? Zhu Lian really thinks that Auntie's cooking is not to your taste. I will help him order porridge later."

Talking lightly, she refuted her plan: "I'll do it. It's a long way to go to pick up food. I guess he won't want to move."

"Alright..." A Xu raised his eyes to look at him repeatedly, his mouth moved hesitantly.Tan Qing noticed that she hesitated to speak, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Do you still want me to send you a copy of his likes and dislikes? It's a bit taboo." After finishing speaking, A Xu couldn't help laughing, feeling that he was asking questions knowingly.Sure enough, the corners of Tan Qing also raised his mouth: "No need."

They were chatting, but they didn't realize that Zhu Lianzhen had woken up and went out. He stood in the corridor on the second floor overlooking the living room, and shouted: "What time is it, why is no one calling me?"

Tan Qing looked up at him: "The recording time was postponed by two hours, and the editor and director notified it at midnight last night."

"Oh." So Zhu Lian went downstairs unhurriedly, tilted his head slightly, and motioned for A Xu to go out and talk.Once outside the door, he took out the key from his pocket, "Help me drive the car back, be careful on the road, don't rub it."

A Xu went into the garage and took a look, "I rely on this car to be handsome! When did you buy it? I don't even know."

Zhu Lianzhen immediately said something vague and avoided her question: "When you come tonight, remember to bring me a few game cassettes. The dormitory only has a console, and I can't play anything."

"Okay, I'm leaving." As soon as A Xu got into the driver's seat, Zhu Lianzhen tapped on the window again and asked her, "Where should I have breakfast?"

A Xu replied casually, "I'll do it for you if you talk about it."

Zhu Lianzhen's fingers still kept the movement of knocking on the window just now, hung in the air for a moment, and muttered to himself: "He is really busy."

Only the two of them sat in the restaurant this morning, because the variety show to be recorded today only made an appointment for their schedule.It was originally a group job, but Fu Rong was recently in contact with a national-level talk show and was expected to become a resident guest, so many irrelevant recordings were rejected.The absence of personnel affected the shooting plan, so the program team simply changed the plan and prepared to promote the most topical "sincere" CP.

The editor and director sent the script to the artist team in advance, and the staff only showed it to them for review after editing.Zhu Lianzhen watched while drinking porridge, and the more she watched, the more she frowned. The above few game sessions would make them have a lot of physical contact. Obviously, the directors are determined to use CP to raise their popularity.

Zhu Lian is really not surprised that he and Tanqing have become the focus of fans again. After all, the interaction in the last live broadcast was a bit intimate and it is easy to attract attention.But those are all natural behaviors, but now he has to create a sense of ambiguity according to the script. This kind of false business makes him feel conflicted.

Without further ado, he posted a knife symbol in the announcement group, which represented that he was not satisfied with the process arrangement.

The staff saw the second reply: "Do you think these links are tiring? You can ask them to change it immediately."

"No." Zhu Lianzhen held the phone in both hands, considered his words for a few seconds, and then reluctantly gave up explaining, "Forget it, let's leave it at that, I will tell the director myself when I get there."

The staff did not agree with his decision: "There is plenty of time now, you can make comments, and we will solve it."

Zhu Lian is really impatient with the layer upon layer of communication processes in the artist team, but at the center, he can only accept such cumbersome rules.He drank a few sips of the porridge while it was hot, then lowered his head and replied: "Then let me be honest, the script design is really low, especially the one where two people use their bodies to burst the water balloon. What's wrong? If I saw this on TV This kind of picture just wants to poke your eyes."

After a few minutes of silence in the group, the staff continued to ask: "Okay, the feedback has been passed, is there anything else you want to change?"

"A group of people grab a donut hanging from a thread to see who bites first. Is it dirty? Excuse me? If you accidentally lick it, how will others eat it? The guests don't know each other well."

Zhu Lianzhen was most concentrating when she was finding fault, and typing quickly: "Don't mess around with this kind of link, and what kind of Pocky game, the two of you bite a biscuit and don't let it break..."

"My God," Zhu Lianzhen imagined the picture and felt creepy, "Ask where the director of the project got his inspiration from. Did you see the bride and groom sucking a noodle when they attended a township wedding 20 years ago?"

Staff member: "...OK, I made a note."

After his criticism, there were not many "highlights" left in the script design, and the director did not dare to have too many objections, fearing that the artist would be upset and skip work altogether.However, this kind of concern is actually just their prejudice against Acemon. In actual work, Zhu Lianzhen has never slacked off, and he is even more conscientious in talking, accepting all requests.

"Don't eat?" Tan Qing asked.

"Yeah." Zhu Lianzhen was suddenly full after reading the script, and there was a table left, too lazy to move his chopsticks.Tan Qing lowered her head and smiled lightly, cleaned up the dishes, and sighed softly: "It's just that you left me out in the cold."

Without adding a subject, Zhu Lian really heard the ambiguity, and didn't know whether the relationship was referring to food or herself.

"It's weird." He smacked his lips, picked up the bowl and drank the porridge.

The two left early after dinner to record the show. There were other idols invited as guests today. Zhu Lian was really afraid of embarrassment. Before saying hello, she searched their names on the Internet to avoid calling them wrong.

After the simple rehearsal, everyone got ready in a dressing room.Zhu Lian really doesn't want to gossip, but there is only so little space in this room, so he can hear what other people say clearly.A boy has been complaining in a low voice, but his teammates are indifferent and occasionally respond with a few words.

"Why are you blaming me? Am I not cautious enough? This time I went out and covered it tightly. Who would have thought that he would treat me like this when I was sold by a dog and lived under the same roof?"

"If you had broken off the relationship earlier, you wouldn't have so much trouble now."

"Who wouldn't say such a thing? You come to educate me again. Oh, forget it... I really should reflect on it, and I can't hurt you."

Zhu Lian really heard that their chat was about privacy, so she coughed on purpose to remind them to keep a low profile.Fortunately, the calm boy had good eyesight, so he quickly got up and went out to breathe, and ended the conversation.

After finishing her makeup and hair, Zhu Lian really wanted to check with the director again, but happened to run into him halfway.

The boy hurriedly leaned over to introduce himself, Zhu Lianzhen stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I remember you, Xue Chun, right, we met last time in MC."

At the mention of this, Zhu Lianzhen suddenly remembered that she had seen his pen-hold shooting before. Although there were obvious traces of imitating a relationship, this did not prevent Zhu Lianzhen from treating him well.

Xue Chun said: "The time was tight last time, I didn't have a chance to go over and say hello to you, I'm sorry."

Zhu Lianzhen just wanted to be polite, but when she looked directly at the other party, she saw a bruise on Xue Chun's jaw, which was a bit eye-catching under the white light.He pointed at the air, "Do you...do you want to touch up your makeup? Here."

Xue Chun subconsciously covered it, and grinned awkwardly.Zhu Lianzhen guessed that this was evidence of a conflict between teammates, and said: "If you really can't cover it up, just make up a reason to explain it generously, so as not to be used as a fuss."

"Thank you." Xue Chun put his hands down.

After walking a few steps, Zhu Lianzhen found that the two were heading in the same direction, and asked him, "Are you also looking for something from the director?"

"I want to discuss the game." Xue Chun said, "Draw lots to punish them. They arranged for our team to pass ice cubes by mouth. I think this is too easy to make mistakes. I want to change the form, but my agent won't listen."

Zhu Lian sighed deeply with empathy: "I understand."

Regardless of whether they have just debuted or have advanced experience, it is difficult for male idols to escape the business fate of selling and being sold. If the scale is right, you can easily profit from it, but if you use too much force, it may be counterproductive.Zhu Lian really remembered that when the "Qingzhen" CP was just born, some fans PS'ed his wedding photo with Tanqing and made it into a poster to come to support him, which made him embarrassed for a while, and he felt uncomfortable talking to Tanqing in private.

A few minutes later, they successfully found the director and put forward their ideas in detail.The other party compromised a part, but PockyGame still wants to keep it.

"Okay." Zhu Lian really didn't want to make it difficult to work for them. Anyway, the skills of this game are easy to master, but he thinks it's too old-fashioned, but the audience still has a fixed aesthetic and never tires of watching it.

The recording started, and the format of the program was that the guests competed in groups, and the two teams with the lowest scores drew lots to complete the penalty.In order to meet the expectations of the audience, the results of each session have already been written into the script, and the guests only need to perform it again according to the rehearsal.

When the host walked to the center of the stage with a tray containing biscuit sticks, the cheers from the fans below were endless.

Zhu Lian really didn't want to pretend to be surprised, she just turned around and glanced at Tan Qing, keeping her eyes on each other for two seconds, giving fans time to take pictures.

The first group of guests started the challenge. They bit the two ends of Pocky respectively, and quickly shortened the length of the biscuit within five seconds without breaking the biscuit.Since this team consisted of a man and a woman, both sides were very careful about their proportions, and stopped when their lips were a full three centimeters apart.

When it was the turn of the members of Lock-M, Zhu Lianzhen could tell that they were nervous from a distance of several meters. The biscuit sticks shortened at a speed visible to the naked eye. "He said: "How can you still lose?"

Measuring the length of the remaining biscuit, it is only seven millimeters. Even if you don't look at the picture just now, everyone knows that their lips must have touched it.

"Okay, finally it's Acemon—" the host handed over the plate, "How about it, you are seniors, you should be better at playing games than Lock-M, right?"

Zhu Lianzhen shook the microphone: "What are their grades?"

"Seven millimeters."

"Oh," Zhu Lianzhen picked up a Pocky, "Then how can I cut it in half again?"

His feigned disdainful tone successfully aroused enthusiastic responses from fans. He didn't agree with the conversation, but just smiled and slightly separated his legs to lower his height so that their lips were at the same level.

Zhu Lian really knows that the essence of PockyGame lies in the fact that the lips of both sides keep getting closer in a short period of time, and when they are about to touch but keep a little distance, the audience's tension and anticipation will reach their peak.But it is also a part of variety shows, and the focus of variety shows is of course to create reversals and laughs all the time.

He just pretended to be confident and said that the audience should expect them to surpass the results of the previous group. Unfortunately, this was not in Zhu Lianzhen's plan. He only planned to break the biscuit at the first second of the countdown and create a slap in the face Effect.

He bit one end lightly and raised his eyes to Tanqing.

The tips of their noses are close at hand, and their eyelashes are distinct. Such a familiar angle easily stirs Zhu Lianzhen's thoughts.But right now he didn't have time to recall anything, as soon as the host issued an order, he couldn't wait to lift his chin.

With a crisp sound, Pocky broke in two under the eyes of the audience.

The host and the audience laughed, but Zhu Lianzhen was stunned with half of the biscuit in her mouth, obviously she hadn't exerted herself yet.

"Wait a minute, I made a mistake." Tan Qing smiled and shook her head, "I didn't choose the biscuit, give us another chance."

"That's right, there seems to be a crack in the root just now." Zhu Lianzhen immediately answered the words pretending.

Everyone readily agreed to their request. This time, they personally selected biscuits and placed them between their lips and teeth.Their eyes met for a short while, and Zhu Lianzhen immediately understood. It seems that the relationship was also intended to bite off Pocky early, and ended with a rollover performance.

This was beyond Zhu Lian's expectation.

In fact, I was mentally prepared just now. If the biscuits don't break at the beginning, I will honestly play the game according to the rules.Who knew that the other party had the same idea, and was even more eager to end this session than him.

He obviously wouldn't refuse to do business before dating... Zhu Lianzhen was suddenly a little unconvinced, and felt that he should come first for this kind of opportunistic behavior.

The countdown started again, and Zhu Lianzhen involuntarily raised his hand and grabbed Tanqing's arm, as if wanting him to stop, then he pretended to take a few bites of the biscuit seriously, and after finding the right angle, he cut it off accurately.

Tanqing caught most of the biscuits, and smiled at the host: "Wait a minute, we're not ready yet."

"Okay, you have no chance." The host saw through what the two of them meant, and immediately controlled the rhythm of the game, "Bite one and break it, maybe this is God's will."

The difficult part was finally over, and it went smoother than expected, Zhu Lian was really relieved.

After recording the show, Zhu Lianzhen stepped down and said "Thanks for your hard work" to Xue Chun.Xue Chun smiled helplessly: "I'm used to it, our Tuanzong often plays this kind of game."

Originally, the two were completely unfamiliar, but at this time there was a kind of sympathy after being forced to go out of business.Zhu Lianzhen told him: "Sometimes it's okay to escape a little bit. Compared with physical contact, as long as the atmosphere is created, the fans will still be happy."

Xue Chun understood what he meant: "Unfortunately, I haven't cultivated to that level yet."

The two chatted briefly, and then went back to their respective cars after get off work.It was already night when they arrived at the dormitory, and the other three were not in the house. After asking, they found out that they had gone to the nightclub in style.

"Do you want to play games? My assistant brought a box." After Zhu Lianzhen asked, she didn't wait for the answer, and threw a controller over. "The ones that don't need to be operated, I know your skills are not good enough."

I didn't mind his provocation when I was in love, so I took off my contact lenses and sat down.Zhu Lianzhen picks and chooses, and finds that what A Xu brings is basically fighting or shooting, and the only one suitable for romance is "OverCooked 2", which is known as "Breakup Kitchen".

Fortunately, I don't know the nickname of the game when I'm in love, so Zhu Lianzhen was not too sensitive about it, and patiently taught him the basic operations while leaning on the sofa.

Tanqing sincerely responded: "It's so difficult."

"It's just these few keys in total. It's so difficult. You'll become proficient after you play with it." Zhu Lianzhen said so comfortingly, but actually felt superior in his heart.It took him quite a long time before to find out a shortcoming of "bad game playing" in love. The FPS class can't aim at people, the Moba class can't move, and the fighting class can only fight wits with the air. fight bravely.Every time Zhu Lianzhen asks him to play games, it's not for the sake of having someone to accompany him, but purely for fun.

"Xiao Zhu, I fell." Tan Qing said.Not long after, he made another mistake: "The kitchen is on fire, where is the fire extinguisher?"

"Xiao Zhu, let's divide the work and change."

"Change the handle, too."

"Okay, do we have to change our seats?" Zhu Lianzhen couldn't help laughing at his slow operation, "It's not these problems at all, okay?"

Talking generously admitted: "It's because I don't have the talent in this area."

"It's good that you know." Zhu Lianzhen's mouth has not drooped for a long time, "My happiness tonight is all given to you."

In the middle of the relationship, I went to get a snack basket. Zhu Lian stared at the TV screen and took a box casually. After opening it, I found that it was a milk-flavored Pocky, which happened to be the same as the one I ate during the daytime recording.

"Unlucky." Zhu Lian really threw it away.

Tan Qing's eyes fell on the biscuit box, and then she took it over in silence, tore open the bag and ate it slowly.

Zhu Lianzhen remembered Tanqing's abnormal behavior of rushing to bite off the biscuits today, so he took the initiative to praise him: "I mean, you did a good job today."

Turning his face away from the conversation, slightly tired: "What?"

Zhu Lian really didn't look at him, but stared straight ahead, and said nonchalantly, "I thought you would obediently obey the director's request, so you have learned how to release water now."

Tan Qing quickly understood what he meant, leaned back lazily, and replied, "I just don't want to embarrass you. If we want to win the previous group, we will definitely meet each other."

"What's embarrassing me, it's as if you don't dislike this kind of game." Zhu Lianzhen muttered in a low voice, "The low-level methods cater to the cliché, and they haven't changed a bit after so many years."

"Any game is designed to be fun, and I really don't dislike it." Tanqing skillfully manipulated the characters on the screen while responding to Zhu Lianzhen, "The only thing that makes me hard to resist is the atmosphere it creates. The audience cheered and excited There are more people, it seems that the ambiguity on stage has become real—”

As he said that, he smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Zhu Lianzhen and continued, "If my heart beats faster in this situation, it's hard for me not to misunderstand myself."

Zhu Lianzhen rolled his eyes at him quietly, reached out and took a Pocky in his mouth, and said, "This can make your heart beat faster, what do you think you are a young girl in love?"

The front view was suddenly covered by a shadow, and Zhu Lian could clearly feel that the Pocky in his mouth was sinking, and when he realized it, the other end had been bitten off by love.

He immediately said "Damn" in his heart, and the remaining half of his mouth almost fell off in fright, and he could even hear the sound of biscuits breaking between his love teeth.

"Let's start over." Tan Qing said.

Just seven words were like thunder on the ground, and Zhu Lianzhen's whole heart was about to fly out of the Milky Way.

He never thought that the most secret thing between them would be brought to the table so suddenly in a relationship, without giving him any emotional preparation at all.Zhu Lian was really stunned, and could only throw the question back with a blank mind: "You, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Can't you?" Tan Qing asked back while holding the game controller, "I think I've figured out how to play, and if I start the game again, the score will be higher."

Zhu Lianzhen's heartbeat hadn't stabilized yet, upon hearing this, the temperature of her cheeks rose again.

"Open, open!" With trembling fingers, he adjusted the game to the main interface.

Darkness is the most perfect defense, the lights in the room have already been turned off, Zhu Lianzhen was only congratulated that her blushing face was not noticed by the relationship, so she completely ignored the interesting smile of the other party.
