Chapter 23 Taking Yoko to experience green projects
Tian Xiwei lay sprawled on the soft bed, curling herself up into a "big" shape.
It is said that this is the sleeping position that provides the strongest sense of security.
Her soft, doll-like face was pressed against the pillow. Her red lips parted slightly, and a few drops of glistening liquid slowly slid down her lips, just before sticking to the edge of the pillow, her tongue unconsciously licked her lips.
It's saliva!
Li Zhu almost saw it.
"You're awake?!"
Tian Xiwei opened her eyes abruptly and saw Li Shen sitting in the hanging chair, quietly gazing at her.
Tian Xiwei's pretty face flushed slightly!
Li Zhu must have seen him drooling!
"Li Shen, you saw it all?"
Li Shen nodded.
Tian Xiwei covered her face with her hands: "Oh my god, I'm so sick of being guarded like this!"
Li Shen frowned, feeling that the phrase "waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump" didn't sound like a good phrase.
"What time is it now?" Tian Xiwei asked.
"I'm not telling you yet."
Why are you mimicking my speech?
"Because I'm mimicking Yingwu!" Li Shen deliberately licked his lips, making a saliva-licking motion.
"You're so annoying!"
After pressing the switch on the electric curtains, Tian Xiwei sat up, stretched lazily towards the gradually opening curtains, and let in the sunlight.
Another natural wake-up time, so happy!
After waking up naturally for two consecutive days, my body's energy is completely replenished!
Energetic and beautiful girl, wake up!
Tian Xiwei opened her large suitcase and began rummaging through her clothes.
Li Shendao said, "Lijiang Ancient Town is crowded with tourists and the streets are narrow. In order to ensure the smooth running of the program, today's tour will not be broadcast live."
"oh oh."
"Also, in order to avoid being recognized by tourists as much as possible, the production team requires us to wear sunglasses and masks, and to change into clothes that we haven't worn in the show. The production team will also conduct hidden filming."
"oh oh."
"You go change your clothes, I'll go downstairs first. By the way, it's 11:30 now."
Tian Xiwei asked in a panic, "Weren't we supposed to leave at 11 o'clock? Why didn't you call me?"
"Our tour guide, Mailin, just got up too, so don't worry."
As Li Shen left his room and passed by Li Hangliang's room, a heated argument was taking place inside.
Li Shen pretended not to hear, put his hands in his pockets, strolled downstairs, and walked towards the courtyard.
Huang Shengyi asked, "Shenzi, where's Xiaotian?"
"She is—"
"Oda's here!"
Li Shen turned around abruptly and saw Tian Xiwei running towards him in a panic, one hand holding her skirt and the other holding a sun hat.
Her hair was messy, she wasn't wearing any makeup, and she had a bare face.
Li Shen exclaimed in surprise, "Tian Xiwei, you're not wearing makeup?"
"It's too late, why bother with makeup? I'm sorry everyone, I'm late."
Yoko waved her hand: "It's not considered late if the tour guide isn't here."
Li Shen stared blankly at Tian Xiwei.
At this moment, his stereotype of female celebrities going out was shattered.
Yoko asked curiously, "Xiaotian, is Merlin still arguing with Li Hangliang?"
Tian Xiwei nodded: "Mm."
"Mailing's got such a bad temper when she wakes up." Huang Shengyi suddenly clung to Tian Xiwei's arm and asked affectionately, "Xiao Tian, you look great, did you sleep well?"
"Okay, okay." Tian Xiwei was somewhat taken aback.
Huang Shengyi was usually aloof, so Tian Xiwei was a little surprised when he suddenly became affectionate towards her.
Yoko said irritably, "It's been over half an hour! Fukako and Kou Ryo went upstairs at the same time, and Oda has already come down, but Merlin is still causing trouble. Is she never going to stop?...
From Yoko's incessant complaints, Tian Xiwei realized that Li Shen had let her sleep for at least half an hour longer.
Huang Shengyi thought of the song "Facing the Sea, with Spring Blossoms" from last night. She shook Tian Xiwei's arm and whispered teasingly, "When Li Shen woke you up, did you take advantage of your morning grumpiness to vent your anger on him? Did you use that as an excuse to get revenge on him for bullying us last night?"
Huang Shengyi's words drew laughter from everyone.
As everyone knows, the argument between Mai Lin and Li Hangliang was partly due to morning grumpiness, but the real reason was to vent their frustrations from the previous day.
Morning grumpiness is just an excuse, a trigger.
Tian Xiwei shook her head: "No, he didn't give me a chance."
Huang Shengyi was taken aback: "Didn't they give you a chance?"
"He woke me up after I had fallen asleep and was no longer grumpy in the morning." Tian Xiwei's dimples were filled with belated gratitude.
"Shenzi, he spoils you so much." Huang Shengyi's eyes welled up with tears; this couple is so sweet.
Over the years, Yoko has never considered her feelings!
He Meiyan crossed her arms, making an "X" shape: "No public displays of affection in the middle of the day!"
Yangzi nudged Li Shen: "Wow, brother, you're the most affectionate guy in the North!"
"First of all, I know that Merlin always procrastinates. Secondly, I also took the opportunity to doze off for a while."
Yoko laughed heartily: "Shinko is just like me, stubborn but soft-hearted. She clearly cares about others, but she won't admit it."
moment.
The door to the guesthouse lobby was pushed open.
Everyone thought that Mai Lin had finally come downstairs, but only Zhang Ruonan walked over alone.
Zhang Ruonan shrugged: "Everyone, please wait a little longer. She's putting on makeup, she'll be done soon."
"Makeup?" Yoko was annoyed. "She's wearing sunglasses and a mask today, who is she putting on makeup for? She's not a celebrity, how come she's more concerned about her image than Oda?"
Arguing and putting on makeup again, is this never going to end? Don't they have any sense of teamwork?
We agreed to meet at 11 o'clock, and it's almost 12 o'clock now, and she, the tour guide, hasn't shown up yet.
Doesn't Merlin know she's a tour guide? Why don't we leave and leave the tour guide here?
"Okay!!!" Li Shen nodded in agreement.
Everyone looked at Li Shen in astonishment, only to see him walk out of the courtyard without turning his head.
Yoko: "Bro, I was just kidding!"
Tian Xiwei hurriedly said, "Li Shen, come back!"
Seeing Li Shen walking further and further away, Tian Xiwei sighed and followed him helplessly.
Yoko froze on the spot.
Liang Song laughed: "Brother Yang, you've been talking big, haven't you?"
"No, it's just that he's much more decisive than me. Shengyi, let's go too."
Yoko and Hwang Seung-yi also came out of the courtyard.
Liang Song and He Meiyan looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Honey, what should we do?"
"Let's go."
Zhang Ruonan: "Hey, wait for her... Let's go together... Don't leave!"
She watched blankly as the crowd dispersed, feeling helpless and at a loss.
This team is hard to manage; how come they're all troublemakers?
……
"Li Shen, they said you didn't sleep last night?"
"Um."
"Oh oh~~~ Hehe~~~"
Tian Xiwei raised an eyebrow.
This proves that she does have some personal charm!
"What are you laughing at? You're happy I wasn't asleep?"
"Hehe!"
Tian Xiwei walked quickly ahead, into Li Shen's field of vision, in the bright sunshine.
Tian Xiwei was full of energy and youthful vigor, walking coolly ahead.
Li Shen tried his best to keep up, and in comparison, he looked like an old man in his twilight years.
He was momentarily distracted by the street scene, and when he looked for Tian Xiwei again, the girl had already left him half a street behind.
No wonder there's a group of "walking fans" among Xiaotian's fans; she walks with such a cool and beautiful gait, like she's carrying the wind.
Wandering through the streets and alleys, Tian Xiwei became a curious child, looking at this shop and browsing that shop, focusing on the experience but not making a single purchase.
—Except for food.
—No one can be excluded from the tastings.
When Tian Xiwei and Li Shen entered a flower cake shop, Yangzi Huang Shengyi, who lived just across the street, finally spotted them.
Yoko whispered to Huang Shengyi, "Is there anything different about Li Shen compared to us? Have you noticed?"
Huang Shengyi shook her head.
Yoko: "Li Shen, today you have one more VJ filming you than we do. The production team definitely knows more about Li Shen's background than we do."
"Couldn't it be because he has funny stories and generates buzz that they sent in an extra VJ?"
"Of course, that's part of the reason. But I think background is even more crucial. I asked Li Hangliang, and even he didn't know what Li Shen's family does. In short, you've been sticking to the young mistress of the Heavenly Palace, there's no doubt about it."
……
B&B.
When Li Hangliang and Mai Lin entered the courtyard, all the other guests except Zhang Ruonan were nowhere to be seen.
Wearing heavy makeup and sunglasses, Merlin exclaimed, "Where are they? Where are they?"
"They've all left; they've gone sightseeing."
"But I'm the tour guide! Why didn't you wait for me?"
Zhang Ruonan looked at her blankly, unsure how to respond.
Sister, don't you have any sense of right and wrong?
……
Li Shen, Tian Xiwei, Yangzi, and Huang Shengyi wandered aimlessly through the ancient city.
Huang Shengyi affectionately linked arms with Tian Xiwei, accompanying her shopping and tasting food, acting as intimately as best friends, a stark contrast to her previous aloof attitude.
While Huang Shengyi was in the restroom, Tian Xiwei pointed to the restroom and then looked at Li Shen with a puzzled expression: "What's going on?"
Li Shen shrugged and shook his head.
He was also confused by Huang Shengyi's sudden intimacy with Tian Xiwei!
He was also puzzled.
When Huang Shengyi came out of the restroom, Yangzi had also bought a Coke:
"Oda, Mikako, have some cold drinks to cool off. By the way, how about we split up and go sightseeing?"
Tian Xiwei was secretly delighted: "Great!"
Actually, it's hard to do whatever you want while shopping when someone you don't know is sticking to you.
Yoko added, "For men, shopping with women is very boring. So, Oda, you and your sister-in-law go shopping together, and Fukako and I will do our own thing."
Tian Xiwei: "???"
Li Shen was overjoyed: "Great!!!"
Li Shen was simply tired and wanted to rest. Yangzi, being an older woman, was a good companion for shopping.
Tian Xiwei looked at Li Shen but didn't say anything.
Yoko said, "Oda, we're leaving now."
Two men walked into the street.
"Yang-ge, where are we going?"
"I don't know," Yoko said, rubbing her aching back. "Leave your girlfriend first, I really can't keep up."
"Only 50 years old, and your health is already failing?"
Yoko wiped her sweat: "I'm lacking in exercise, too busy, traveling all over the world to promote Chinese culture. And our livestreaming team is planning to expand internationally soon, bringing our jade culture to the world..."
Li Shen frowned.
again!
This guy really seizes every opportunity to promote himself.
"Brother Yang, let me take you to a nice place to relax and rejuvenate."
Yoko's eyes lit up: "Isn't this inappropriate?"
"Brother Yang, don't overthink it, it's really green service." Li Shen winked.
"Hey kid! Okay, relax a bit, you're too tired from walking."
……
Around 5pm.
When Li Hangliang, Mai Lin, Liang Song, and He Meiyan reached the exit of the ancient city, all four of them stopped at the same time!
"Is that Yang Ge?"
"Right, but what is he doing?"
Under a lush green tree, Yoko was repeatedly bumping her back against it.
The four of them were stunned.
The fun activities were replaced with a workout?
They then looked at Li Shen, who was standing to the side.
Li Shen sat on a stone bench, legs crossed, drinking coconut juice and counting: "65, 70, 80, Yang-ge, hang in there."
"No problem!" Yoko gritted her teeth and endured the pain as she continued to slam her back against the tree.
In fact, Yoko knew that no matter how real Li Shen was under the camera, he would never take her to places that crossed the line.
Therefore, the "green services" he mentioned must be green and legitimate, such as a massage or a foot bath to relax the body.
But when Yangzi was led to the big tree by Li Shen, she was completely dumbfounded.
This green service is fucking too green!
Holy crap, he racked his brains but never thought of coming here to treat his body!
Li Hangliang asked, "What are you doing here?"
Li Shen: "I brought Yang Ge here to recuperate and relax."
Li Hangliang asked curiously, "Li Shen, is this tree-cracking exercise scientifically sound?"
Li Shen: "It probably isn't scientifically sound, but when I think about how the older brothers and sisters who crash into trees are all in great shape, I feel that the benefits of this kind of exercise outweigh the drawbacks."
"Then why don't you go crash into a tree with Yang Ge?"
"But Tian Xiwei said there's a possibility that those who were seriously injured are already in the hospital, while those who weren't injured are still getting hurt."
Everyone: "..."
boom! boom! boom!
Yoko kept bumping into him.
He Meiyan asked, "Where's Xiaotian?"
"Be with Huang Shengyi. Okay, Yang-ge, 100."
Yoko rubbed her lower back and back as she walked into the crowd.
Li Shen said, "It's getting late, let's go somewhere else and relax."
Yoko shook her head vigorously: "I'm not going. If I relax any more, these old bones of mine will break."
Li Hangliang laughed: "This time we're going to a bar."
Yoko asked doubtfully, "Are you sure?"
Li Hangliang said, "Yeah, Shenzi and I agreed yesterday that we'd go to a bar tonight."
Liang Song looked at He Meiyan: "You and Mai Lin go find Oda Katsuie. You women can do your shopping, and we men can have a few drinks."
……
A street lined with bars.
As night fell, the bars opened for business, and the unique features of each bar were clearly visible through the huge transparent curtain wall.
The first bar, Xunqing, features beautiful female dancers who perform sexy dances on stage, attracting tourists to stop and record videos with their phones.
The second bar's selling point is its Journey to the West theme, with Tang Sanzang and his disciples dancing wildly with demons and monsters.
……
Across from these popular bars, the "Reunion" bar is unusually quiet.
This is a very small mini bar.
Liang Song asked, "What's their selling point?"
Li Hangliang laughed and said, "Li Shen!"
Liang Song: "Huh?!"
"The name 'Reunion' was given to me by Li Shen."
"And then, you got ruined by them?" Li Shen said with a self-deprecating laugh.
The group chuckled, pushed open the door, and went inside. The bar was empty except for a little girl of about five years old, who looked at them timidly.
Li Hangliang laughed and said, "Little darling, call your parents over and tell them that 'Reunion' has arrived."
"Okay!" the little girl said in a sweet, childish voice as she ran out.
They randomly picked seats, and the four of them settled down. Naturally, the conversation revolved around music.
Li Hangliang used to sing at this bar. Memories flashed before his eyes, and Li Hangliang suddenly said:
"Li Shen, sing a song!"
"Huh? Why did you call me out? Was it so abrupt?"
Li Hangliang handed the guitar on the stage to Li Shen: "Sing all my songs, let me see your singing skills."
Li Shen casually played the chorus: "I forgot the lyrics to the beginning, let's jump straight to the chorus. 'I only wish to win one person's heart, to grow old together,' very simple words—"
"Not this one."
"I don't know how to do the others."
"No, you will. The song you sang last night, the one I sang."
Li Shen was taken aback: "Damn! How come it's yours? Do you have no shame?"
"Even a fool knows it's written for me. Do you really want it back? Have you no shame?"
"Hey, you two are sunbathing here, aren't you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man with long, flowing hair walked in with a smile.
Li Shen looked at it, but didn't recognize it.
But the girl next to the man looked somewhat familiar to Li Shen.
Huang Xiaoyun?
