Chapter 1073 Barbecue in the Snow
The barbecue club is not far from the training camp, just a 10-minute drive away.
The driver got out of the car first, held up a big black umbrella, and opened the back seat door. Pei Ziheng also got out of the car and helped Xia Ling into the club. The private room booked in advance is on the first floor. It is the most quiet and comfortable room in the entire barbecue club. You can see the beautiful snow scenery in the semi-open environment. There are wooden fences on the left and right to block the wind and snow.
The coals in the barbecue were burning red.
The two ordered a lot of food, and Pei Ziheng slowly baked it for her.
His technique was unfamiliar and the roasting was uneven. He took a bite first and frowned a little.
"Isn't it delicious?" Xia Ling raised her face and looked at him.
"It's a little raw," he said, "I'll ask the waiter to grill it."
"No," she stopped him, "That's good, don't let anyone disturb us."
He was stunned for a moment, and his eyes became gentler in the depths of his eyes: "Okay." He lowered his head and turned over the strings of barbecue more carefully, imitating the appearance of the waiters he remembered when eating barbecue, sprinkling Sichuan peppercorns, and Salt.
She had never baked before, so she gradually became interested and started helping out.
The two of them finally cooked a skewer of barbecue. This time it was not cooked, and one side was a little burnt.
Xia Ling took a bite and it was so hot that she hissed and said inarticulately: "It's delicious."
"Really?" He smiled, not having much confidence in his craftsmanship. He took the bunch of roe deer meat from her hand and carefully cut off the burnt part with a knife. "Don't eat the burnt ones. It's not good for your health."
"Everything you bake is delicious." She frowned.
He was in a good mood, and grilled mutton skewers and chicken hearts for her. He gradually mastered the heat, and the aroma came out bit by bit from the oily meat and spread on the snow.
She ate and fed him at the same time. After a while, both of them were full.
He ordered a glass of fruit vinegar for her, and she drank it in small sips, leaning on his shoulder to eat. A pair of bright eyes, a little tired after the meal, looked at the flying snowflakes in the small garden, and the long eyelashes fluttered like butterflies.
He asked warmly: "Are you sleepy?"
"A bit." Her voice was very soft, and she rubbed her shoulder.
He put his arm around her shoulders and held her in his arms. He smelled the subtle body fragrance on her body, mixed with the faint smell of barbecue, which was very charming: "Go home and sleep tonight, and let the driver take you there tomorrow morning." You go back to training camp.”
She shook her head and said in a confused voice: "No, it will be easy for others to find me sneaking out."
"As long as I'm here, what are you afraid of?"
"I don't want people to know that you adopted me."
Pei Ziheng said nothing. He stretched out his hand to smooth her hair and plucked away the scattered snowflakes. After a long time, he said: "Apply for exemption from the acting class."
"Ah?" She was slightly surprised and raised her head to look at him.
"I never thought about asking you to do the decathlon. It's enough that you sing so well. It doesn't matter whether you have acting skills or not. The big deal is that you will only develop your career in the singing world."
She blushed slightly as she thought of her poor performance in class. "I..." she said, "Is it really okay not to learn acting now? I've asked about exempted courses. Generally, you can't apply until the second grade." The teaching system of the Emperor Training Camp is very mature, and the first grade is to lay the foundation. In principle, students are not allowed to take exemptions. Every course must be taken. When students understand their direction in the second year, they can apply for exemptions.
The conditions for applying for exemption are also very strict.
For example, the total score of 10 courses is 1000 points. Only when the total score reaches 600 points can you advance to the next grade. Those who fail to reach 600 points will be dropped out. After one of the courses is exempted, it becomes 9 courses. The full score is 900 points in total, and the standard score is still 600 points, so the difficulty increases invisibly.
Xia Ling's singing and dancing skills are excellent, her physical fitness and other courses are only above average, and her cultural classes are a bit miserable, and she is still in the supplementary stage. Under such circumstances, the burden on her to be exempted from taking an acting class is still quite heavy. .
Pei Ziheng also had a general understanding of the situation in the training camp: "It doesn't matter. You have Dolphin Sound. You can apply for an exception and spend more time on singing. Others can't say anything. As for the total score, I believe you are fine." ." Isn't it the standard score of 600? Even if she didn't achieve it, it would be easy for him to do it.
Of course, don’t tell her this last sentence.
Xia Ling hesitated: "Let me think about it." She was still worried that her privilege would expose her identity.
Pei Ziheng lowered his head and helped her grill another skewer of meat. The two of them ate while admiring the snow. Late at night, when the snow stopped and a few stars appeared in the night sky, they got up and left.
Pei Ziheng sent her back to the training camp.
The black Rolls-Royce parked at the entrance of the deserted training camp seemed to blend into the night.
"I'm leaving, Brother Pei." Xia Ling got out of the car, turned back and smiled and waved to Pei Ziheng in the back seat.
Pei Ziheng watched her walking towards the door step by step. Suddenly, he called her: "Xiao Ling."
"Huh?" She turned back slightly.
In the night, under the starry sky, the back seat door of the black Rolls-Royce opened, and a tall man walked out of the car, holding a long scarf in his hand, and walked up to her. "I just asked the housekeeper to bring it, I almost forgot." He wrapped the scarf in his hand around her neck little by little, "It's cold, don't catch a cold."
She stood there, motionless, and allowed him to surround her.
The two of them were so close that she could smell the faint masculine scent on his body, and felt the soft touch of the delicate cashmere scarf rubbing her cheek, like a feather gently scratching through her heart, tickling her.
She suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and she didn't know why, blushing slightly.
She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him. When he surrounded her, she quickly turned around and ran away.
Pei Ziheng stood there for a long time, watching her figure disappear into the depths of the training camp.
sporadically, it started to snow again.
A black umbrella moved silently above Pei Ziheng's head, blocking the snowflakes for him.
"Is everything done?" Pei Ziheng asked without looking back.
"It's all done," it was Driver Li's voice, "Mr. Chu sent a trustworthy paparazzi to secretly take photos of you and the lady. By tomorrow, the news will be overwhelmingly reporting on your relationship with her."
Pei Ziheng turned around and got into the car.
So what if she always wanted to hide her identity? She was his belongings, and he couldn't bear to see others trample her like dirt. Only by telling the world, would no one who was short-sighted shout and scold her at will.
In the night, the Rolls-Royce is like a silent ghost, driving silently into the distance.
Xia Ling had a good sleep in the dormitory. She was probably too sleepy and missed the alarm clock. When she woke up, it was already 10 am. She said "Oops" and was shocked. The acting class had already started and she was going to be late!
