Dead rivals overturned each other

The temperature in the car rose instantly, Xu Zhuo drank a bottle of mineral water, opened the window and felt stuffy, so he put on his mask and got out of the car.

He confirmed that the parking place was remote and no one was passing by for the time being, so he took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"Xiao Zhuo," the voice on the other end of the phone was gentle, but with blame in his tone, "you finally have time to contact me."

Xu Zhuo saw the opportunity to complain, "A Li, don't blame me. It's my first time filming a romance show, so I didn't know that shooting a reality show would be so busy. The filming brother basically followed me all the time except going to the bathroom. I haven’t had time to watch movies and TV shows for a long time.”

Xu Zili called him several times in the past few days, but he didn't answer it. It was too late when he saw it. He didn't answer because he was afraid of disturbing the rest of the newlyweds. This has dragged on until now.

Xu Zili works in the Bureau of Cultural Relics Restoration, from nine to five, and is not busy every day. In his spare time, he and his wife are chasing the variety show that Xu Zhuo participated in.

I am sincerely happy that Xu Zhuo can have such a job opportunity, and I also helped Xu Zhuo promote Xu Zhuo to the family group and circle of friends, so that everyone can add enthusiasm to Xu Zhuo.

Xu Zhuo asked a few words about how his honeymoon was going, and after eating the dog cake, he ate dog food.

"How are you and him?" Xu Zili and Xu Zhuo knew each other very well, and asked straight to the point what they were concerned about.

Although Xu Zhuo seldom mentioned Zhou Liang in front of him these years, Xu Zili knew that the more he pretended to be fine, the more he cared.

Xu Zhuo sat on the green steps, propping his chin with his hands, "That's right, I think, I just guessed, does he hate me as much as before?"

"How to say."

Xu Zhuo picked up the gravel on the side of the road and traced the signature that Zhou Liang designed for himself on the ground, over and over again, "It's a kind of feeling, although sometimes I can still make people angry with one sentence, but sometimes it seems to me not bad……"

"Isn't this good?" Xu Zili said softly.

not good.

Xu Zhuo thought in his heart, he can't be too kind to himself, what should he do if he is not willing to let him go in the future.

I didn't tell Xu Zili about the fact that they acted as substitutes for each other. After all, it was too absurd to say it, and Xu Zili would definitely disagree.

Moreover, Zhou Liang also misunderstood that there was something wrong with Xu Zili, and Xu Zili knew it was time to laugh his ass off.

"But he likes Sun Xizhuo, you know him, the one in the class next door who finally passed the broadcasting host exam. They are the same family, the kind that both families see each other, so it is impossible for me and him." Xu Zhuo threw the stone open.

Xu Zili: "Then is he with classmate Sun?"

Xu Zhuo was stunned, "No."

Otherwise, why would they find him as a substitute? Zhou Liang said that Sun Xizhuo didn't like him.

Xu Zili said with a smile: "Then you are all single, nothing is impossible."

Xu Zhuo's heart skipped a beat, but he still had concerns, "His family is very traditional, and he will definitely not approve of homosexuality. Besides, if it really affects his career because of my crossing the line, I will never let it go." over myself..."

"Xiao Zhuo," Xu Zili recalled his chaotic thoughts, "I am not advising you to make any decision, I will support you no matter what decision you make, I just hope that you don't think about running away from the beginning, you can follow along. Walk with your own heart, maybe it will become clear as you walk."

Xu Zili is an outsider, and he can look at many things more calmly than Xu Zhuo.During the wedding, it's not that he didn't observe Zhou Liang's attitude towards Xu Zhuo.

For example, he asked Zhou Mu to borrow a wedding car. Given the lack of friendship between the two of them and Zhou Mu's personality, he could have directly refused, but he not only borrowed it, but also agreed to bring Xu Zhuo with him when meeting the bride.

If he really hated it to the point where he couldn't turn it around, Zhou Liang would never agree to it based on Zhou Liang's character. This matter itself is intriguing.

Xu Zili had a premonition that maybe Zhou Liang had no less consideration than Xu Zhuo... It's just such an unfounded guess, he wouldn't say it out now to sway Xu Zhuo, he would only enlighten like this in a subtle way.

Xu Zhuo's words "follow your heart" echoed in Xu Zhuo's mind, and he stared at the ground in a trance.

After a long time, he smiled slightly, "Okay, then I'll ask you something else."

……

Back at the villa, it was already dark.

Before he could change his clothes, Zhang Miduo poked his head out from the courtyard door, "Brother, you're back, come quickly, I'm missing you."

Xu Zhuoxin said that although the program group does not have a script, there are also links that are mandatory for the guests to participate. For example, most of the night guests must have dinner together, and provide fixed editing materials for the show, otherwise the guests are busy working outside all day long. If there is basically no communication, the love variety show will be nothing to watch.

He cleaned his hands, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he smelled the tantalizing smell of meat.

All the guests gathered around the fire in the courtyard. The men focused on grilling the meat, and the women helped to clean the vegetables, enjoying a lively drink.

No wonder Zhou Liang said on WeChat that he went to the supermarket in the afternoon to buy ingredients for barbecue.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Xu Zhuo rolled up his sleeves and asked.

Xing Xuehui, who was pouring the sponsor's juice, said softly: "Xiao Zhuo, eat meat today, you serve us every time, enjoy the treatment of being served today."

Xu Zhuo was inexplicably weird, this Xing Xuehui basically ignored him from the first day he moved into the villa, and today he took the initiative to talk to him.

"Then I won't be polite!" Xu Zhuo smiled and was about to find a corner seat to sit down. He came back late, and there was only one vacant seat here. Before he could sit still, he heard Zhou Liang looking at him. , said: "Come and help me add some firewood."

Xu Zhuo quickly walked to his side, took a piece of dry firewood and handed it to him.

Zhou Xing glanced at the swimming pool in front of the bonfire lightly, "Sit next to me later and help me pick up vegetables."

Xu Zhuo:? ?Are you the emperor? Do you want me to serve you vegetables? Do you want to test the poison with silver needles for you?

However, sitting in the back seat was exactly what Xu Zhuo wanted. The bone-piercing experience of falling into the swimming pool last time reminded him still of chills.

Then I can force you to pick up some food for you.

The meat is charred on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. With a bowl of thick borscht soup, Xu Zhuo's whole body feels warm.

Suddenly a jade hand stretched out in front of her, holding a dinner plate in the jade hand.

Xu Zhuo looked suspiciously at the owner of the jade hand, Xing Xuehui, she smiled with concern and decentness, "Ms. Zhou has been busy with barbecue, so I didn't care to eat a few bites, Xiao Zhuo, you are close, why don't you feed it while it's hot?" Him."

The sense of weirdness struck again. It stands to reason that according to Xing Xuehui's style, she should be the one who took the initiative to feed Zhou Liang, but today she is polite.

But Xu Zhuo saw that he hadn't touched the few dishes he had put in for Zhou Liang. He had been busy adding firewood to the barbecue, and his hands were a little dirty.

So Xu Zhuo picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of steak, and handed it to Zhou Liang's lips, "Open your mouth."

Zhou Liang was taken aback by his sudden enthusiasm, and looked at the piece of meat, "Could it be that they put mustard on me to punish me."

Xu Zhuo said "wow" speechlessly, stuffed the meat into his mouth with his backhand, and chewed it vigorously like someone from Zhou, "There is no such shop after this village."

Although Liu Zhendong is used to the intermittent bickering mode between the two, he still can't help laughing every time he sees it.

Xu Zhuo noticed that he was in a good mood today and raised his eyebrows at him.

Liu Zhendong thumped his shoulder to reassure him.

Xu Zhuo looked at Zuo Yao who was next to Liu Zhendong again, and noticed that Liu Zhendong's cheek was stained with sauce, and picked up a piece of paper to wipe it off for him.

It seems that the two of them had a very pleasant date this afternoon.

On the other side, Zhang Miduo sat in the corner, poured a full glass of red wine, and took a big sip by himself.

Sitting between her and Xing Xuehui, Cao Mo raised his glass, bumped into her, and brought her a piece of dessert: "Eat something before drinking, or you will get drunk easily."

Zhang Miduo looked at him, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, as if it was the most casual basis.

She picked up the pumpkin crisp in front of her and put it in her mouth.

Ever since Xu Zhuo sat next to him, Zhou Liang felt that there was always a faint gaze sweeping towards him. He put down the food clip and looked straight ahead obliquely.

Xing Xuehui, who had just finished sizing up Xu Zhuo, met Zhou Liang's gaze. She panicked for a moment, and then asked Cao Mo to add some juice to her with a fickle expression.

Various thoughts flashed through Xing Xuehui's mind.

From the eyes of the nearby guests and audience, the two are purely friends, and she always thought so at first.But every time she shows goodwill to Zhou Liang, Xu Zhuo will always be an eyesore, and if there are too many, it will inevitably make her suspicious, especially after she chose to check Zhou Liang's circle of friends yesterday.

The content of Zhou Liang's circle of friends is related to Xu Zhuo, even if the content is a bit weird.

Are they really just friends? But Xu Zhuo was deliberately asked to feed Zhou Liang just now, but he couldn't see any clues.

What she couldn't figure out was that there was no reason for Zhou Liang to let such an excellent self go to have a hot fight with the [-]th-tier Xu Zhuo.

So she was more inclined that it was Xu Zhuo unilaterally pestering Zhou Liang, trying to help him to the top.

The daily meal time with ghosts came to an end, Cao Mo put down his chopsticks and suggested: "The atmosphere is just right now, why don't we play some games, killing werewolves or who is an undercover agent, just treat it as a way to digest food."

Xu Zhuo, who went out to film this early in the morning, felt a little tired after eating and drinking, and just wanted to go back to his room to rest, but he saw the choreographer outside the camera waving at the guests, signaling for everyone to participate in the game.

Xu Zhuo had no choice but to throw a piece of chewing gum into his mouth.

Xing Xuehui rarely agrees, "Speaking of this, I think of a very popular game recently called Phone Alarm Clock Bomb, do you know about it?"

Everyone nodded.

This game is similar to "Drumming and Passing Flowers" in the digital age, in which one person sets an alarm clock that rings in a few minutes or a few seconds, and everyone passes on their mobile phones, and whoever hands the alarm clock rings has to answer the question of the person who set the alarm clock , If you can’t answer, you have to drink.

Everyone has always agreed that Zhang Miduo started to follow along.

She set it to ring after 1 minute, then turned off the screen, passed it to Cao Mo, Cao Mo passed it to Xing Xuehui, and then down in turn.

The phone was like a ticking time bomb, and Xu Zhuo also became nervous.

In the end, just as Cao Mo took over the phone, the ear-shattering ringtone sounded mixed with vibration. He hummed bitterly along with the music twice, and looked at Zhang Miduo:

"Please."

Zhang Miduo's sweet smile had a little bit of evil in it, "May I ask how many relationships Brother Mo has had."

The audience booed.

Cao Mo pointed to Zhang Miduo, "As soon as you come, set me up."

Zhang Miduo pretended not to hear, looking at the sky.

Cao Mo said sternly: "I haven't talked about it, the mother and fetus have been single so far."

Zhang Miduo and others were surprised, "I can't tell", "It's real", "It doesn't look like you, I didn't expect to have zero relationship experience"

Xu Zhuo brought the water glass to his lips, concealing the mocking curve of his lips.

The second time, the alarm clock set by Cao Mo blew up in Zhou Liang's hands, and Xu Zhuo cheered up instantly.

Cao Mo glanced at Xing Xuehui intentionally or unintentionally, and then asked Zhou Liang: "Mr. Zhou, it's been a few days, have you ever had any feelings for any guest?"

Xu Zhuo could not help but tighten his grip on the cup.

Suddenly the booing was louder than before.

Zuo Yao didn't dare to cover his eyes again, "Sura Field, Shura Field."

We all know that Cao Mo and Xing Xuehui are the "official partners" of the first phase, but these days Xing Xuehui's single arrow towards Zhou Liang is also somewhat obvious, and seems to be caught in a strange love triangle.

This is also the favorite link of the program group and the audience.

Of course, if the official date arranged by Zuo Yao and Zhou Liang is included, the emotional line will be more complicated.

Cao Mo added, "Teacher Zhou doesn't need to say the other party's name, just touch the other party's head."

Xing Xuehui thought to herself, luckily she washed her hair during the day, and couldn't help but glance at Xu Zhuo, who was blowing gum bubbles boredly, as if he didn't pay much attention to the game.

Zhou Liang kept silent where his eyes focused, mobilizing the tense atmosphere to the extreme.

Then he picked up the glass of wine in front of him, motioned to everyone, and drank it. "Tch", "Cut", everyone booed.And Xu Zhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xing Xuehui's face. Zhou Liang's silence at this moment, in the eyes of the audience, was wavering in Zuo Yao and Xing Xuehui's eyes, that is, he hadn't taken a fancy to her yet.

Of course, there is another interpretation, that is, Zhou Liang does not want to embarrass either of the two ladies.

And the alarm clock Xing Xuehui set himself rang in his own hand, and the round was over.

Xu Zhuo and Zhou Liang didn't have much interest in this game, they both asked some simple questions and got away with it.

Coincidentally, Liu Zhendong's alarm clock rang in Zhang Miduo's hands.

Zhang Miduo, who drank a lot of wine silently, now has some stamina, her cheeks are flushed, and her eyes are fixed on Liu Zhendong, "Brother Zhendong, what do you want to ask me?"

Ask me something special to prove that you still have a little interest in me.

Liu Zhendong thought for a while, "How many steps did you take on WeChat today?"

Obviously, this is another friendly round.

Zhang Miduo lowered her head, took out her mobile phone, and opened the WeChat activity, her voice was a little muffled, "5398 steps."

Liu Zhendong nodded, approached Zuo Yao, and handed her the phone, "It's your turn."

Everyone's attention was on the next game, but Xu Zhuo noticed the redness in the corner of Zhang Miduo's eyes.

This alarm clock bomb game will go high and low, and end in a few boring questions. Xu Zhuo, who has not cooked, took the initiative to take on the task of cleaning up food residues.

And Zhou Liang stayed behind to put out the charcoal fire.

The staff following the filming were all off work, and the courtyard was very quiet at this time.

However, he found that Xu Zhuo was a little absent-minded, he didn't know what he was thinking, and was about to speak, but he saw Xu Zhuo looking in the direction of the courtyard gate.

Zhou Liang followed his gaze and found a thin figure wearing a coat and a hat, wandering out of the villa alone.

Xu Zhuo immediately stuffed the garbage bag in Zhou Mu's hand, "I'll go out for a while."

"Wait." But Zhou Liang stopped him, picked up the blanket on the chair, and handed it to him.

Xu Zhuo took it, "Go back and rest first, I'll deal with the aftermath later."

On the side of the dark path outside the villa, Zhang Miduo squatted with his back to hide from the wind, shivering a little from the cold, and called his mother, but her mother did not answer the phone because of other things.

Zhang Miduo was already a little drunk, and stared blankly at Xu Zhuo who fell from the sky and wrapped himself in a warm blanket.

She didn't want to cry at first, but the observation from others instantly filled her eyes with tears.

Xu Zhuo panicked and pulled the blanket over her head to cover her head, "Don't cry, don't cry..."

Zhang Miduo took a deep breath, suppressed tears, and said in a nasal voice, "I didn't cry."

Xu Zhuo sighed slightly.

He himself is also in a mess about feelings, and he doesn't know how to comfort others.

Zhang Miduo hid in the blanket, "You go, I'll come out to get some air, and I'll be back soon."

Xu Zhuo didn't leave, and sat on the ground beside her, facing the dark night, he said: "The scenery here is beautiful, I'll come to get some air too."

The two were speechless for a long time, only the sound of bubbles bursting when Xu Zhuo blew his chewing gum.

"I'm really useless, it's fine if no one chooses me, and those who have a crush don't even look at me, they only have other female guests in their eyes." Zhang Miduo said suddenly.

She seemed to be confiding, but also seemed to be talking to herself, Xu Zhuo just listened silently.

Zhang Miduo: "Forget it."

Xu Zhuo: "Forget what."

Zhang Miduo muttered, "Forget it."

She suddenly thought of something, "Don't choose me for comfort in the future."

Xu Zhuo: "That..."

Zhang Miduo said to himself: "You should leave the choice to the person you like."

Xu Zhuo reminded helplessly: "Although it is a bit inappropriate to say this at this time, it seems that I have never chosen you."

Zhang Miduo suddenly lifted the blanket on his head and stared at Xu Zhuo.

After staring for a minute, she didn't see any trace of lying on Xu Zhuo's face, so she was sure it wasn't his text message.

She became more and more confused, who was watching her circle of friends? Could it be that she is not a waste to the end, and there are still people who are silently paying attention to her.

After squatting for a while, Zhang Miduo just got up and went back to the villa.

Xu Zhuo also followed her and said to her, "Drink a cup of hot milk and have a good sleep."

"No, it will cause edema." Zhang Miduo hummed twice.

Xu Zhuo watched her enter the room with his own eyes, and just returned to the swimming pool. Surprisingly, it was very clean here, and someone had already cleaned up the garbage from the party just now.

In the innermost double room on the second floor, Zhou Liang kept looking out the window, watching Xu Zhuo watching Zhang Miduo go back, and watching Xu Zhuo circling around the swimming pool.

This man is used to being nosy.

Worried that it would be dangerous for the girl to be outside alone at night, she obviously yawned several times when she was sleepy while eating, so she went to accompany her.

But it was precisely this meddling that allowed Xu Zhuo, who was still a teenager, to interact with him. What he liked was Xu Zhuo, who was kind-hearted from the heart, unaware of it, and hard-spoken.

Xu Zhuo went back to the room. Seeing that his hands were red from the cold, Zhou Liang picked up the hand cream and wiped his hands as usual, "Are you here to be a guest or a nanny."

Xu Zhuo pulled Zhou Mu nervously and said, "My good fellow, I just found out today that Mi Duo is interested in Zhendong, and he hid it too deeply."

Zhou Mu: "..."

Are you sure you're not overthinking it?

Xu Zhuo suddenly realized, "No wonder, on the second date last time, Mi Duo looked like she really wanted to ride in my car. She didn't want to see my superb driving skills, but because I was dating Liu Zhendong. She wanted to solve the case with Liu Zhendong." Case solved!"

Zhou Mu shook his head speechlessly, which was quite expected, this person's reflex arc was always different from ordinary people.

In the second year of high school, it coincided with the 60th anniversary of the school, and was planning to hold a large art performance. Two days before the show, a male student in a singing show got mumps. The disease would contagiously prevent him from attending, and the students in the art department were overwhelmed. Find a substitute.

It just so happened that Zhao Tingting was a member of the art department, and she strongly recommended Xu Zhuo to participate, because everyone knew that Xu Zhuo could sing well.

Xu Zhuo is a warm-hearted person, since he had an acquaintance to connect with him, he graciously went to help sing a song.

The head of the art department is a freshman in high school. Xu Zhuo's melodious singing voice infected her. After the art performance ended successfully, she immediately stopped Xu Zhuo and asked him for WeChat.

At that time Xu Zhuo was pestering Zhou Liang to accompany him to go online, so Zhou Liang was also present and watched the whole process.

The head of the art department has many suitors in school, and he has never failed in his own work, but he suffered the Waterloo of his love career in front of Xu Zhuo.

Xu Zhuo refused very directly, "I don't send WeChat messages casually, thank you."

Then Xu Zhuo dragged Zhou Liang and slipped away.

Later, Zhou Liang asked him why he didn't give it.

Zhou Liang still remembers Xu Zhuo's stupid look, as if he thought he was very smart, "Of course I can't give it to you! It's obvious that you want me to be a coolie, you want me to join the choir, and you can take me to any festival in the future." Singing, am I not exhausted?"

So far, Zhou Liang has determined that Xu Zhuo has always been single based on his strength.

Xu Zhuo is like this, he has always been slow to emotional matters, and is often a little slower than others.

Now, Xu Zhuo saw that Zhou Mu didn't look surprised at all, and said in disbelief, "So you knew it a long time ago?"

At the end, there was a sentence, "Could it be that I was the last to know about the whole villa?"

Zhou Mu looked at him silently.

Xu Zhuo was taken aback, is there something on my face?

Unexpectedly, Zhou Mu patted his head hard, "You are just stupid, you don't understand anything."

Xu Zhuo covered his head and complained: "No, I'm stupid and you still hit me on the head, you will only become more and more stupid..."

"Why do you think I suddenly slapped you on the head?" Zhou Liang looked at him and said.

"You owe it," Xu Zhuo squinted his eyes, suddenly, as if he wanted to understand something, he looked at Zhou Liang in disbelief.

Zhou Liang pursed his lips nervously, when he heard Xu Zhuo see through him: "Did you put the hand cream on my head on purpose?"

Zhou Mu: "..."

The author says:

"Mr. Zhou, a few days have passed, have you ever felt fascinated by any guest?"

"Teacher Zhou doesn't need to say the other party's name, just touch the other party's head."
