—The final answer.
What is the answer
Hang Sizhou knew it without Xiao Hang explaining it more clearly.
Hang Sizhou's heart moved.
Before, when they were at Lidao Resort, he told Xiao Hang that he "needed to think about it", and Xiao Hang also expressed that he was willing to wait for him no matter how long it took.
With Xiao Hang's promise, he could think about it for a week, a month, or a year. The initiative was completely in his hands, and he could think about it endlessly.
But because of this, every time he faced Xiao Hang, he would always feel some unspeakable guilt and remorse in his heart.
This feeling of guilt and remorse grew bigger and bigger as time went by, and now completely occupied a corner of his chest.
Fortunately, the termination date of their marriage agreement has not yet arrived.
Hang Sizhou felt that he could still delay for a little longer.
Xiao Hang's question was like stuffing a bone into his mouth. After he won, he could naturally make demands, saying that since your request is to give an answer, then my request is not to give an answer, etc.
With such a great thing coming to his doorstep, how could Hang Sizhou not accept it
"Are you sure?" Hang Sizhou stared at Xiao Hang, afraid that the other party would think something was wrong and start to hesitate.
Xiao Hang also looked at him, his dark eyes firm: "I'm sure."
Hang Sizhou curled his lips: "Okay, I'll bet with you."
The reason why Hang Sizhou was so confident was that he was invited to participate in "Let's Travel Together" at the beginning, and the family that had been signed before had marriage problems.
If the accident hadn't happened to that family, nothing would have happened between him and Xiao Hang later.
Since the program crew cared so much about it in the first place, they will certainly not easily tolerate it now.
Otherwise, not only would it be difficult to face the couple who were said to have paid a sky-high penalty for breach of contract, but it would also be difficult to face the audience who have always liked this show.
But when he thought about Jiang Rong and Shen Mingqu withdrawing from the filming, the smile on Hang Sizhou's face suddenly faded: "This is the last episode."
"Although they were the ones who lied first, we have filmed so many episodes together. If they suddenly stopped participating, I think we, Huang Yang, Liang Fan and the others would all be very disappointed."
"And the children, we all agreed to be together happily and accompany each other until the end, but in the end, the perfect episode ended without Xiaoyue. Hanhan must be very disappointed."
"Hang Sizhou, I—" Xiao Hang looked at his profile, hesitant to speak.
Hang Sizhou suddenly grabbed the man's hand and said firmly: "Xiao Hang, let's switch. I bet they will come."
Xiao Hang's eyes flashed with astonishment: "Aren't you afraid of losing?"
"Just think of it as giving myself a thought," Hang Sizhou smiled, "It can also be regarded as... pushing myself."
He had already made up his mind that no matter what, he would give Xiao Hang the final answer before the marriage agreement was concluded.
In fact, no matter how much he delays, the answer will not change much.
But he just couldn't make up his mind.
-
For the last recording, the program crew was unusually "generous" and did not choose some weird small cities or ancient towns. Instead, they chose Jingcheng, which is as prosperous as Yancheng, or even more prosperous.
Jingcheng is far away from Yancheng, and it is snowing there. The program team was afraid of problems on the road and asked to arrive as early as possible in the morning.
Hang Sizhou's family arrived relatively late. When they got there, Huang Yang's family and Liang Fan's family had already arrived.
As expected, Jiang Rong and the others did not come.
The director contacted every family yesterday. Everyone knew about the incident and deliberately avoided the topic when drawing the rooms.
Just looking at the empty corner of the hall, Hang Sizhou still felt a little uncomfortable.
Jingcheng, as its name suggests, is a well-known tourist city.
As a world-famous tourist city, it does not need any programs to promote it. The reason why the program team chose this place is entirely because Jingcheng has very beautiful snow scenery in this season.
The full moon in the starry sky on a snowy night has always been a beautiful and perfect scene that everyone longs for.
In addition to Jiang Rong and others, Hang Sizhou also had another regret in this episode.
—Tomorrow is Xiao Zhihan’s birthday.
Yes, although he is not a very qualified father, Hang Sizhou still remembers the date of his daughter's birthday.
He had originally planned to celebrate Xiao Zhihan's birthday at home, but when he first accepted this program, he was only eighteen-year-old Hang Sizhou and couldn't think so far ahead. Now he can only find a way to communicate and discuss with the staff and find time alone tomorrow to celebrate Xiao Zhihan's simple birthday.
Fortunately, the other children here have a good relationship with Xiao Zhihan, and it will be much more lively if we invite them to participate.
After returning to the room, Hang Sizhou thought about it over and over again, but still felt a little unwilling.
It’s not that he was unwilling to lose the bet, but he was unwilling to see Jiang Rong and the others miss the last episode of the show.
Hang Sizhou felt that he should do something.
He turned his head to glance at Xiao Hang who was sitting on the sofa next to him, working intently on his laptop, then grabbed his phone and walked out.
This time they drew a very nice room with a snow view, on the ground floor. Walking out was the large courtyard of the hotel's residential area. From time to time they could see new guests walking in from the main door pulling their suitcases.
Hang Sizhou found Jiang Rong on WeChat, revised the wording several times in the input box, and finally pressed the send button.
Soon, Jiang Rong's reply came: [Sizhou, thank you for your concern, but I don't quite understand what you said.]
Hang Sizhou:
Is he being too cryptic
Hang Sizhou bit his lower lip and opened the input box again, hesitating whether to express his concern more directly.
There came the rustling sound of feet on the snow and the sliding sound of the suitcase wheels ahead.
Hang Sizhou raised his head and was stunned when he saw the person in front of him.
"W-Why are you here?"
Jiang Rong smiled and said, "Don't look at me with such an incredible expression. I'm here to participate in the last recording of the show."
Hang Sizhou was still in shock: "Aren't you... not coming?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't say you shouldn't come, I just-"
Jiang Rong interrupted him with a smile: "It's okay. In fact, I thought so last night. The director called me several times in a row, and told me the importance of the matter in an apologetic and stern tone, and then said that we might not be able to participate in the recording of this episode. I didn't even dare to tell Xiaoyue that we couldn't come to the recording tomorrow, and you wouldn't be able to say goodbye to your brothers and sisters."
Hang Sizhou: "Then why did it happen again later—"
Jiang Rong: "This morning, the production team called me again and said that they had discussed it all night and finally decided to let us participate in the recording of this last episode. Because this episode has a very important project, none of our families can be absent."
Hang Sizhou couldn't help asking: "What is this very important project?"
Jiang Rong: "It turns out that although our four children are of different ages, their birthdays are all on the same day. During this recording, the program crew will help them celebrate their birthdays together."
Hang Sizhou was shocked and said, "Why didn't the production team tell me about this?"
"In fact, I just found out about this today," Jiang Rong turned over her palm and counted her fingers one by one, "Our children will be celebrating their fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth birthdays tomorrow."
"The little moon is the number 7 in the middle. Without her, this birthday would not be complete."
Jiang Rong was still holding her luggage, and Hang Sizhou didn't feel comfortable keeping her for too long.
As soon as Jiang Rong left, Xiao Hang pushed the door and walked out.
The man's dark eyes reflected the snow in the yard, and he smiled and said, "Congratulations on winning the bet."
Hang Sizhou ran to his side in two or three steps, trying to hide his inner excitement, and whispered: "You should have won."
Xiao Hang's eyelashes moved, and the smile on his lips became deeper: "Laugh if you are happy, no need to hold it back."
The next second, Hang Sizhou smiled with dimples: "Sure enough, when luck comes, it can't be stopped."
Xiao Hang hummed: "Indeed."
The two looked at each other for a moment, and a drop of cold water fell on the tip of Hang Sizhou's nose.
He raised his eyes and looked up.
Fine snow began to fall from the sky again.
Hang Sizhou stretched out his hand and let the tiny snowflakes fall on his palm, melting into small water droplets and finally being absorbed by the temperature of his skin.
"But I'm not happy because I won the bet." Hang Sizhou whispered, "I'm happy because Jiang Rong and the others are here. Our show this season is complete from beginning to end."
Xiao Hang looked at him and said gently, "I know."
"Besides," Hang Sizhou became excited, "Xiao Hang, did you know that the birthdays of our four children are all on the same day? Tomorrow the program team will help them celebrate their birthdays together. If Hanhan knew about this, she would be super happy!"
"No, I have to go talk to Hanhan first."
Hang Sizhou was the kind of person who would do something immediately after thinking of it. Soon, Xiao Hang was the only one left in the corridor.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the air I breathed became colder and colder.
Xiao Hang took a deep breath and was about to turn around to go inside when the director's figure flashed past him.
The director had a notebook in his hand and seemed to want to say something to him.
Before the other party arrived, Xiao Hang shook his head decisively, indicating that it was not convenient for him.
The director hesitated for a few seconds, but finally stopped and turned away.
Although he had many doubts in his mind, he was also very curious why Xiao Hang would rather bear the losses than save Jiang Rong and Shen Mingqu.
But as Xiao Hang said on the phone, this matter is not without room for maneuver. As long as it is handled properly, it can win more applause.
It's getting dark.
Warm light shone through the windows.
The door was not closed, and the increasingly cheerful laughter of Hang Sizhou and Xiao Zhihan could be heard from inside.
Although he "lost the bet", Xiao Hang was still very happy.
This joy comes from the warm lights in front of you, the fresh air you breathe, and the sincere smile of your lover that you hear in your ears.
This is something that can clear away all obstacles in the world for him.
Xiao Hang suddenly felt that the "answer" was no longer important to him.
What really matters is that Hang Sizhou is by his side now, and their family is happy.
