Chapter 76

Ding dong~~~ Ding dong~~~

The doorbell rang for the twenty-eighth time, "Brother Hongzhe, open the door, we’re not going to look at your red high heels anymore~~~~" Liu Zaitian squatted at the door, feeling an overwhelming sense of sadness. "Brother Taeho, how much longer do we have to wait here? Brother Hongzhe isn’t even home!"

As he spoke, another cold wind blew past, and the sudden chill made everyone, who were about to speak, huddle together again.

There was no choice. Seeing that everyone had been standing in the cold wind for about ten minutes, for everyone's health, Kim Taeho could only agree to let Liu Zaitian call Lu Hongzhe.

Beep~~~~ Beep~~~~

"Brother Taeho, if Brother Hongzhe is out of town, should we just end today’s shoot like this!" Looking at the call that Lu Hongzhe was not answering, Liu Zaitian suddenly asked Kim Taeho.

However, just as Kim Taeho was about to respond, the call was instantly answered.

"Ayo~~ Zaitian!"

"Oh~~~ Where are you, Brother Hongzhe?" His voice trembled. Although Liu Zaitian was indeed very cold, when he expressed it in his tone, the chill even made Lu Hongzhe on the other end of the phone feel it.

"I’m at the beauty salon getting my makeup done!" Although he found Liu Zaitian’s tone strange, Lu Hongzhe still answered.

"Beauty salon? Do you have a shoot today?" He asked curiously, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his heart. If Brother Hongzhe has a shoot today... (*^__^*) Hehe..., can we go home now~~~~

"Yes, I do have a shoot, but it’s around evening. What’s up, Zaitian? Do you have something to do?"

"Then... since it’s an evening shoot, Brother Hongzhe, come back quickly. I’m almost frozen standing at your doorstep!" His tone was completely pitiful, and his vivid expression made the people around him watching him perform sigh.

"Your doorstep? Why are you at my doorstep, Zaitian?" Lu Hongzhe was puzzled.

"I had nothing to do at home! I didn’t want to go to the gym today, so I decided to come and play with you, Brother Hongzhe. I was going to surprise you and even brought a gift, but you weren’t home. I’m almost frozen, Brother Hongzhe, come back quickly~~~~~~~(>_<)~~~~!!" With a wail, Liu Zaitian didn’t believe that after saying this, Lu Hongzhe wouldn’t come.

"Really, you didn’t even let me know you were coming!" Although surprised, Lu Hongzhe also had a hint of scolding in his tone.

"Brother Hongzhe~~~~!!!" With a direct pout, Liu Zaitian’s appearance made the surrounding brothers shiver, but for the female assistants and writers, their eyes were filled with a deep pink glow.

(Killingly cute Liu Zaitian’s pout!)

After all, although Liu Zaitian occasionally pouted, it was not common, so by now, his pouting had become a rare treat for the female staff of the Infinite Challenge program!

Unlike the brothers who were shivering, Lu Hongzhe on the other end of the phone was completely enjoying it. As the absolute maknae of Infinite Challenge, the brothers had long been treating Liu Zaitian like a younger brother, so he was quite fond of his pouting.

As for the others, while they found it corny, they were also secretly jealous, as Liu Zaitian’s pouting was now so rare.

"Alright, alright, I’ll be back right away. Zaitian, go to the hallway to avoid the wind, don’t freeze!" After giving one last reminder, Lu Hongzhe hung up the phone.

"OK! Brother Hongzhe said he’ll be back right away. We just need to wait here a bit longer." After hanging up, Liu Zaitian, thinking about the warmth inside after enduring the cold for a while, looked completely relaxed.

About ten minutes later, as the elevator numbers went from the first floor to the eighth floor, Lu Hongzhe finally appeared in everyone’s sight.

However, for everyone present, including Liu Zaitian, there were others and the entire program team, but Lu Hongzhe did not show any surprise.

Before anyone else could speak, Liu Zaitian directly pulled Lu Hongzhe towards his doorstep.

"(⊙o⊙)...!!!" For Liu Zaitian’s sudden action, everyone was completely unprepared. Liu Zaisuk could only quickly summarize to the camera and lead everyone to follow.

Opening the door and changing shoes at the entrance, Liu Zaitian walked into Lu Hongzhe’s home.

"(⊙o⊙) Wow~~~~!! Brother Hongzhe, your place is so clean!" After changing into the simple slippers prepared by Lu Hongzhe, Liu Zaitian finally moved from the entrance to the living room.

Wow!

Wow!

Wow!

As each person entered, except for Haha who already knew, everyone else let out a sigh of admiration.

However, Liu Zaitian didn’t care about this. As soon as he entered the living room, he lay down on the sofa and hugged a pillow from the side.

"What’s wrong, Zaitian?"

Lu Hongzhe felt something was off, especially since Liu Zaitian’s behavior was quite unusual. He didn’t say a word when he came up, just pulled him into the house.

"Nothing, just feeling a bit unwell."

Recently, due to the tight schedule for the KBS TV variety show planning, Liu Zaitian had gone to bed late the previous night. Because it was too hot, he slightly opened the window, and when he woke up in the morning, he felt something was wrong with his body.

And now, after being in the cold wind for so long, the feeling became even stronger.

"Unwell?"

Sitting next to Liu Zaitian, Lu Hongzhe didn’t care about the others rummaging through his room. He placed his hand on Liu Zaitian’s forehead.

"I’m dizzy~~~~ so hot! You’re running a high fever, no wonder you feel unwell!" He said with a hint of scolding.

At this moment, Liu Zaisuk also came over, "Hongzhe, what’s wrong with Zaitian?"

"He has a fever, and it’s quite serious." He looked up and said to Liu Zaisuk.

"Fever?! Really, you’re such a big person, and you don’t even take care of yourself when you’re sick! Alright, alright, Hongzhe, you go ahead. I’ll take Zaitian to the hospital after the shoot ends."

This shoot, which was supposed to be about finding the red high heels, was actually to show the audience Lu Hongzhe’s real living habits.

After all, during the 'Kimchi Special,' Lu Hongzhe, who was selected as the male artist who looked the least like he bathed, suffered a significant blow.

And for a person with both a cleanliness obsession and OCD to receive such an evaluation was a reversal. So the program team planned this special to show a real Lu Hongzhe and use this reversal to create some laughs.

Therefore, as the main character of this episode, Lu Hongzhe should be at the forefront of the camera, not here.
