The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish

 

As if aware of Ye Zexi's sight, He Jinyun glanced sideways, with a question in his eyes: "What's the matter?"

It was also at this time that Ye Zexi realized that he seemed to be staring at He Jinyun for a long time.

He was startled first, then quickly turned his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's nothing, just suddenly found out something--"

"Huh?" The man's voice was deep and mellow, with a touch of magnetism like the falling pitch of a musical instrument.

Ye Zexi said frankly: "Suddenly I found that Teacher He is quite handsome."

He Jinyun's expression was obviously taken aback, he was very surprised, he didn't expect to hear from Ye Zexi's mouth a compliment on his appearance. A little happy in his heart, He Jinyun also showed a clear smile on his face.

But soon He Jinyun noticed the cameraman in front of him. He quickly adjusted the expression on his face and showed a gentle smile at Ye Zexi. He joked: "How come you just found out that I'm handsome now? You didn't think so before?"

I've noticed it before.

But Ye Zexi didn't know why, as the words came to his lips, it turned into another sentence: "I really didn't notice it before."

He Jinyun chuckled, pressing down the inexplicable sweetness on the tip of his heart, raised his head and glanced in front of him, and said softly: "Look here."

Ye Zexi heard the sound and looked forward.

The blue sky is reflected on the lake, and the water and the sky meet each other. A long and winding yellow-brown plank road on the lake, which goes deep along the lake.

Standing by the lake, looking from a distance, you can also see the tall and majestic snow-capped mountains on the opposite side of the lake. On the green grass on the shore, there are still a few white shadows moving slowly.

Ye Zexi could no longer move when he got out of the car.

A refreshing breeze was blowing across his face. Unlike the salty and wet sea breeze in Sanya, the wind in Qinghai carried its unique salty taste as well as a hint of coldness.

"Zexi, here." He Jinyun waved to Ye Zexi.

Ye Zexi looked up and found that He Jinyun had already taken off without him. At this moment, he was standing next to a yellow touring locomotive, seeming to be talking about something with the contractor.

As he walked there, Ye Zexi looked around, only to realize that they were the only ones in the surrounding area, and the other guests hadn't arrived yet.

"Teacher He, are we the ones who arrive first?" Ye Zexi approached and asked aloud.

He Jinyun nodded without denying, then motioned to Ye Zexi to get onto the train with him: "Get on, let's get on the train first and take a look at the depths of the salt lake."

Ye Zexi's eyes lit up: "Aren't we waiting for others?"

"It's okay to go and see it first." He Jinyun smiled, his gaze rested on Ye Zexi's bright eyes.

Ye Zexi thought about it, and felt it made sense, so he just got on the train with He Jinyun and sat in the middle of the train.

After making sure that the two were seated, the contractor asked them to fasten their seat belts, and then slowly started the train.

As soon as the train started, the breeze slowly made people feel refreshing.

Ye Zexi was about to take out his phone to take a photo, when he heard a tenor voice behind him--"He Jinyun! Ye Zexi!"

Ye Zexi was so frightened that his hand shook, and the phone almost fell to the ground.

He Jinyun next to him rubbed his ears, and he could clearly hear whose voice it was.

Ye Zexi turned his head and saw Shan Zeyu standing at the starting point waving at them: "Why are you leaving us and running away!"

Standing next to Shan Zeyu was naturally Tang Jing.

Seeing Ye Zexi looking back, Tang Jing also waved at him.

Ye Zexi made a "bye bye" gesture to the two of them, then turned his head with a smile.

Shan Zeyu behind him was shouting again, but it was a pity that Ye Zexi and He Jinyun ignored him at this time.

It wasn't until the train left that He Jinyun looked at Ye Zexi and frowned: "Shan Zeyu really doesn't know why we don't want to be with him?"

Ye Zexi couldn't help but laugh.

"He is too noisy." He Jinyun rubbed his aching ears.

Ye Zexi laughed harder.

The train drove into the depths, passing through the wasteland, and you could see a group of cattle and sheep taking a leisurely grazing walk.

The blue sky and white clouds were blooming, the lake surface became clearer, and the crystal salt at the bottom of the lake was clearly visible. Under the direct rays of the sun, it reflected the crystal light.

Go deeper, and you will reach the end of this road——

Ye Zexi looked into the distance on the lake, his eyes gleaming.

He Jinyun tilted his head, his gaze stayed on Ye Zexi.

No one knew how long it took, He Jinyun asked in a low voice: "Should we continue to move forward, or go back and wait for them?"

Ye Zexi slowly withdrew his gaze at this time, hesitated again and again, before he said: "Let's go back and join them."

Because Ye Zexi wanted to take the train to see the scenery on the road again, going back and forth would be equivalent to seeing the scenery three times in total!

Good deal!

He Jinyun just glanced at Ye Zexi and understood his thoughts.

The smile at the corner of his mouth deepened, and He Jinyun stepped forward to talk to the contractor.

Soon, the train started again.

The scenery on the return journey was even more charming.

Director Zhang only felt a headache when the two came back by train.

"Teacher He! This is the second time!" Director Zhang gritted his teeth and complained.

"The second time?" Shan Zeyu was keenly aware of the key words.

Wei Bei and You Jia couldn't help but laugh. Wei Bei explained to the puzzled Shan Zeyu and Tang Jing: "In the last recording, we played the game and lost to the director team, so we were unable to get the fish as one of the winning ingredients. So Teacher He and Zexi drove to the pier to go fishing without telling the director team at all."

Shan Zeyu was shocked: "Is that so?"

You Jia nodded and smiled: "Right? The two of them do not listen to the arrangement of the director group, not once or twice. But thanks to Teacher He and Zexi, we were able to eat to our heart's content in the last recording."

Wei Bei was also not commenting on this.

Tang Jing frowned and asked, "Just go fishing for the fish?"

 

Wei Bei responded, "Yes, after all, Zexi likes fish very much."

Hearing this, the corners of Tang Jing's mouth tightened slightly.

Ye Zexi actually likes to eat fish?

Why didn't he know before?

Looking at the two people walking towards this side, Tang Jing's hand on the side tightened slightly.

It's okay, he knows now, just note it for later.

"You are back." Tang Jing waved to Ye Zexi.

Ye Zexi nodded: "Yeah, I just went to look around for a bit."

"Do you call this a round?" Shan Zeyu stared at the two with a bit of resentment, "You have been playing around most of the time!"

He Jinyun was rather helpless, and rarely comforted his friend: "I will remember to bring you next time, okay?"

The director on the side coughed heavily.

They really treated it like he doesn't exist, isn't it?

Now they even started to teach other guests to be like them!

The others couldn't hold back, they all laughed.

The guests had arrived, and today's trip had officially begun.

The group once again boarded the train to the center of the salt lake, and the scenery along the way surprised everyone with admiration.

As Ye Zexi who got to admire it twice, he was extremely satisfied.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and it was noon soon. Everyone took pictures for memories, and at the same time they had enough fun.

But also at this time, everyone found a problem--what do they eat for lunch?

The guests were somewhat tired and hungry after having fun in the morning.

You Jia was the first guest to ask this sentence.

Then Wei Bei also echoed: "Yes, it's lunch time, what shall we eat?"

After that, Wei Bei was taken aback for a while, turned his head to look at the director over there, and his eyes widened: "No, director, are you saying that there won't be lunch for us today, aren't you?"

There was still no one in the director group who spoke. and the several staff of the program group couldn't help but turn their heads to cover the corners of their mouths.

Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Ye Zexi and He Jinyun also looked at each other.

Is it possible that they really would not give them lunch today?

Several guests fell silent at the same time.

Shan Zeyu wailed: "Are you for real? The first time I come to your show, and you already won't give me food? Director, you are being deliberated!"

"No kidding..." You Jia also felt a little unbelievable.

Seeing that the guests were getting more and more anxious, the staff who had been motionless finally moved, took out two prepared lunches, and first handed them to Tang Jing and Shan Zeyu.

After delivering the lunch, the staff quickly returned to the program team.

Wei Bei stared at the two staff members. Seeing that they hadn't taken the next step, he couldn't help but urged: "What about us? Just two lunch boxes? What do you mean?"

Tang Jing and Shan Zeyu were also a little confused, staring at the box lunch in their hands, and asked in disbelief, "Could it be that we have accomplished some hidden mission?"

At this time, the director finally stepped forward and nodded at Tang Jing's remark: "Yes, first of all, we want to congratulate Tang Jing and Shan Zeyu, congratulations on your completion of today's hidden mission."

Tang Jing looked shocked.

Shan Zeyu couldn't figure it out even more: "What task did we accomplish?"

The director just smiled and did not intend to explain: "Sorry, this cannot be disclosed for the time being. Since you have completed a hidden mission, you can get the reward as today's lunch. As a punishment, the other two groups need to figure out their own lunch today."

Hearing this, Tang Jing frowned, and quickly turned to Ye Zexi and said, "It's okay, I can give you my lunch..."

"Hold it," the director interrupted Tang Jing, "I would like to remind everyone of the rules. No matter if it is Tang Jing or Shan Zeyu, neither of them can give away the food provided by the program group to the other two groups, otherwise your food will also be confiscated."

This could be regarded as the program group has learned from previous experience, so as to avoid the situation of the guests cooperating with each other and go against the director group.

Hearing this, Wei Bei couldn't help it: "This is a barren countryside! It's all salt lake. Tell me to figure out lunch by myself? Director, are you even a human!"

You Jia also laughed angrily: "Director, you want us to eat salt and drink salt water along the way."

The director knew he was in the wrong and started a new round of pretending to be dead.

In the next period of time, no matter how Wei Bei and You Jia condemned, the director just pretended not to hear them.

Ye Zexi didn't complain, just glanced at He Jinyun.

Now it seemed that it was really wise of them to pack some snacks in the morning.

Tang Jing frowned while holding the lunch box.

What should I do now?

Looking at Ye Zexi next to him, he really could not let Ye Zexi skip lunch, right?

Only Shan Zeyu was the most heartless as he opened the lunch box directly in front of everyone. He was admiring that the food was delicious while eating with joy.

Wei Bei was sour, while arguing with the director group, he tried to ask Tang Jing what their hidden mission was.

It was a pity that this mission must have been completed unannounced, so Tang Jing and Shan Zeyu were really not sure what mission they had accomplished.

After making a fuss for a while, Wei Bei and You Jia also determined that the director team would not provide them with lunch, so the two also stopped and decided to save some energy.

But they certainly could not eat, so they set their sights on the two people who were in the same boat with them.

Wei Bei first looked at He Jinyun, since now they were the two groups who did not complete the task and did not get to have lunch. It was better for them to separate from Tang Jing and Shan Zeyu here, who had completed the mission alone.

"Teacher He, what do you eat for lunch?" Wei Bei said, "We can be considered as people sailing the same boat together. After all, our groups will not have anything for lunch..."

"Who said we are with you? We have some to eat." He Jinyun interrupted Wei Bei.

You Jia was taken aback: "What are you eating?"

Ye Zexi curled his mouth and took out the food he had packed early in the morning from his bag: "We eat this for noon."

Although it was cold, it was still fresh dim sum.

Also very delicious.

But at the same time, Ye Zexi could not help but think, what exactly was the hidden mission?
