[Emmm, I miss the fourth male lead.]
[Actually, I prefer the interactions between Shuangjiang and the fourth male lead.]
"And you? Why did you come to participate?" Lu Shaoheng's lips curled up: "As far as I remember, the other guests have all mentioned it, but I don't think you have."
Ling Shuangjiang thought for a moment: "I'll attend the company announcement."
Lu Shaoheng laughed: "You're telling the truth."
The afternoon sunlight was gentle, and Lu Shaoheng could see the earrings Ling Shuangjiang was wearing as soon as he turned his head.
"Your earrings are beautiful."
He remembered that Ling Shuangjiang's earrings used to be blue, but one day they suddenly turned white. He must have missed a segment because he was out attending events, since not every guest was available 24/7.
Ling Shuang subconsciously touched the earring, her eyes smiling: "This was a gift from Xie Wang."
Lu Shaoheng was slightly taken aback: "It suits you very well."
[Actor Lu was clearly taken aback for a moment: If I had known it was Xie Wang who gave it to you, I wouldn't have asked.]
[Didn't anyone notice? The earring was a gift from Xie Wang, and his wife was very happy.]
[Actually, I've always felt that my wife likes Xie Wang, but because Xie Wang always says he's straight, so...]
The topic was dropped. Ling Shuangjiang adjusted herself into a comfortable position, turned her head to look at the distant scenery and the warm sunlight, facing the gentle breeze.
Suddenly, half of the sunlight was blocked.
He opened his closed eyes and found that the sunlight and scenery were blocked by the same person. Even Lu Shaoheng next to him looked over curiously.
Beside the sightseeing bus, Xie Wang slowly rode up on his old-fashioned bicycle. On the bicycle, he wore square black sunglasses and a dark green trench coat, his expression cool and arrogant.
However, the large basket he was carrying on his back looked completely out of place with his clothes.
Ling Shuangjiang forced a smile and deliberately asked, "Who is this?"
Xie Wang turned to look at him: "What a coincidence?"
Ling Shuangjiang leaned forward, resting her chin on her right hand: "It's not a coincidence. We originally wanted to go to the cherry orchard. This is the road leading to the cherry orchard."
The old-fashioned 28-inch bicycle made a creaking sound when you rode it.
Xie Wang straightened his back and said in a low voice, "The crew wanted to eat cherries and asked me to come and pick them. I was bored, so I came."
[This is hilarious! You're something else!]
[Report: I followed the fourth male lead the whole time, and the production crew was forced to crave cherries, haha.]
[Do you know why he was riding a bicycle? Because the director reluctantly told him that if he insisted on going to the cherry orchard, his only means of transportation was a bicycle.]
Why he came to the cherry orchard, I won't say! You won't say! But he knows the answer in his heart!
Ling Shuangjiang raised an eyebrow: "Alright."
Xie Wang kept the same speed as them, glancing at Ling Shuangjiang in the sightseeing bus every now and then, much like a proud lion guarding its cubs.
Ling Shuangjiang would occasionally glance at him, a smile playing on her lips.
In this situation, Lu Shaoheng has become an outsider and feels somewhat lost.
The sound of the old bicycle accompanied them all the way. After arriving at the cherry orchard, Xie Wang carefully parked the car and waited for the two of them.
Lu Shaoheng looked at him: "President Xie, would you like to come with us?"
Xie Wang, carrying a large basket on his back, casually took off his sunglasses: "Are you inviting me?"
This answer left Lu Shaoheng speechless, and he politely nodded, "Yes."
Xie Wang nodded: "Okay, I promise you."
There were many other orchards around the cherry orchard. Ling Shuangjiang carried a white picking basket and carefully selected ripe and sweet cherries. Xie Wang followed behind him, always picking from the same tree as him, keeping in sync.
About an hour later, Ling Shuangjiang's basket was full. When she sat down to rest, she couldn't resist tasting a few.
"Do you like cherries during Frost's Descent?" Lu Shaoheng had already picked a full basket and sat down next to him with a smile.
Ling Shuangjiang nodded: "My family is in the south. Although we can grow cherry trees there, the varieties are limited, so I've loved eating them since I was little."
"My home is in the north, and we have cherry trees," Xie Wang suddenly said from the side. "My family's orchard has many high-quality cherries. I'll take you back to eat them sometime."
Ling Shuangjiang smiled upon hearing this and said, "Okay."
Receiving a positive answer, Xie Wang's mood suddenly improved considerably. His family did indeed own the largest agricultural production and breeding base in Bintan City, and their fruits and vegetables were all supplied from there, no less delicious than imported ones. If Ling Shuangjiang had a particular palate, they could simply buy a few more orchards to grow cherries specifically for her.
[He's panicking! He's panicking! He's starting to use his money!]
[My family has an orchard, come over and have some fruit!]
[Can you imagine someone who owns countless ports and industrial bases proudly saying, "I have cherry trees at home"? If not, please watch "Signals of Love: Famous Quotes by Xie Wang".]
[He's so proud! Yes, yes, having a cherry tree at home is amazing!]
After resting, Lu Shaoheng asked Ling Shuangjiang, "Shall we go to the next place?"
Ling Shuangjiang: "Okay, sure."
“But we need to travel by water next.” Lu Shaoheng glanced at Xie Wang, his intention very clear: Xie Wang couldn’t travel by water, and how to explain this to Xie Wang was the question.
“We need to go to the South District, we need to take a boat.” Ling Shuangjiang looked at the basket on his back. “Where are you planning to go?”
Xie Wang's bamboo basket was quite large, probably containing ten pounds of cherries, which wasn't practical to carry around. He stood under the cherry tree and glanced at Lu Shaoheng: "You guys go ahead."
Ling Shuangjiang nodded and followed Lu Shaoheng onto the boat. Before leaving, he stood at the bow and looked at Xie Wang: "What about you? Are you going back?"
Xie Wang said calmly, "A person who has been abandoned wants to enjoy the scenery here all by himself."
[Hahaha, the fourth male lead is such a green tea b*tch.]
[The cunning fourth male lead.]
[The fourth guy is awesome!]
[Male 4: I'm so lonely. You left me here all alone. You're so disloyal.]
Ling Shuangjiang suppressed a laugh: "Alright, then I won't bother you anymore." After saying that, he sat down with his back to Xie Wang and chatted face to face with Lu Shaoheng.
From Xie Wang's perspective, Ling Shuangjiang and Lu Shaoheng were chatting and laughing, carefree and happy, with no one caring about his life or death.
"Do you have any cigarettes?" Xie Wang suddenly asked the photographer.
Although there was a photographer available, he hesitated because he was worried about causing a negative impact during the live broadcast.
Xie Wang's brow furrowed with distress: "I'll just take a couple of puffs."
The photographer, steeling himself, said, "Fine, here you go."
Since quitting smoking, Xie Wang hasn't smoked for a long time. Even when he shared a cigar with Ling Shuangjiang that time, he only smoked it for a moment and didn't actually light it.
Holding a cigarette between his fingers, he lit it with a lighter, his eyes filled with even more sorrow. The photographer tentatively asked, "How are you feeling?"
Xie Wang frowned: "It's a bit bitter, it has no taste."
The photographer said, "Because what you're holding in your mouth is tobacco, and what you're lighting is a cigarette butt; you've got it backwards."
Xie Wang was taken aback, staring at the live stream camera: "Can we cut this part?"
The photographer shook his head: "No."
[Haha, that's hilarious!]
[I can't take it anymore, I love the fourth male lead so much!]
[The fourth male character is kind of cute, sob sob.]
[The third male lead should quickly return to the fourth male lead's embrace; the fourth male lead looks like a wronged, large puppy.]
In the evening, the guests who had gone out on dates returned to the beach one after another to prepare for dinner. This meal was a welcome dinner hosted by Lu Shaoheng, so the production team prepared a sumptuous feast and did not let everyone help themselves.
When Wen Ai and Qi Yu returned, they saw Xie Wang sitting alone at the dining table and asked him curiously, "Where is Shuangjiang?"
Xie Wang said casually, "I went out socializing with friends."
Huang Shan winked at Wen Ai: "Shuangjiang went on a date with Actor Lu."
Wen Ai was shocked and looked Xie Wang up and down with a gossipy expression.
Here, Ling Shuangjiang and Lu Shaoheng encountered some unexpected trouble. On their way back, the sightseeing bus broke down, forcing them to walk. Fortunately, the beach was only 3 kilometers away.
The scenery here is beautiful; crape myrtles and sweet alyssum bloom brightly and fragrantly along the roadside, and the bougainvillea is especially beautiful. Seeing that he liked it, Lu Shaoheng turned around gently: "Would you like to stay here for a while?"
"No, thank you." Ling Shuangjiang had wanted to pick some flowers to make flower bags, but there wasn't enough time; they had to hurry back.
Lu Shaoheng nodded gently: "Are you tired? If you are, we can rest for a while and then continue walking, or I can hold your hand."
Looking at the hand Lu Shaoheng offered, Ling Shuangjiang joked, "My constitution isn't that bad, I'm not tired."
[Brother Lu is so considerate, he seems very mature.]
[Lu Shaoheng is only 24 years old this year, just two years older than Shuangjiang.]
[Watching them interact is like watching a romantic drama.]
[Lu Shaoheng is too perfect; he seems unreal to me.]
When the two arrived at the beach where the RV was parked, they found that the lights in front of the RV were already on, indicating that it was time for dinner.
Soon, Ling Shuangjiang noticed a tall figure standing opposite her.
Xie Wang stood in the shadows and gestured with his chin towards him: "You're back."
Ling Shuangjiang hesitated for a moment: "Yes."
Seeing Lu Shaoheng following behind him, Xie Wang said nothing, turned around and strode ahead to lead the way. "The lights are broken here, and there's a patch of thorny plants, keep an eye on them."
Ling Shuangjiang watched Xie Wang's retreating figure and said, "Okay."
When Huang Shan saw the three of them coming over, she smiled and said, "You two are finally back. President Xie has been waiting for you at the entrance for ages."
Ling Shuangjiang sat down next to Xie Wang and asked him, "What time did you get back this afternoon?"
Xie Wang: "Around three or four o'clock."
Ling Shuangjiang: "Have the cherries been shared with everyone?"
Xie Wang: "Hmm."
Lu Shaoheng's arrival brought the show a lot of attention. As a welcome dinner for him, Lu Shaoheng first expressed his gratitude to everyone. His high emotional intelligence made everyone feel comfortable, and the conversation naturally revolved around him.
