Chapter 396: Singles Are Afraid of the Spring Festival
However, on the other hand, Su Chen no longer paid too much attention to the dynamics of the Internet.
He wrapped himself tightly, rode a shared bicycle, and returned to the basement in the suburbs.
No matter how much the outside world praises him, he can still maintain his original calmness and continue to return to his slightly shabby little home.
After all, the living expenses will not double next month, and will return to the miserable level of 5,000 yuan a month.
In order to live a better life, he must control most of his shopping desires.
Only buy daily necessities and essential grains, oils, meat, vegetables, eggs, etc.
Walking into the basement, which was small but much warmer than outside, Su Chen took off all the hiding "equipment" on his body, his eyes full of fatigue.
It was getting late, so he took off his clothes and took a hot shower.
The hot water washed away all the remaining coldness in his body, and every pore cheered with joy.
After taking a shower, Su Chen changed into a looser set of home clothes, and his tense mental state became much more comfortable.
"One of the happiest things in life is taking a hot bath in this cold winter."
Su Chen lay on the bed, murmured, his eyelids gently closed, and his expression gradually became peaceful.
The night passed peacefully.
The next day, Su Chen opened his eyes on time and was extremely energetic.
After washing up as usual, he sat on the bed, staring at his little nest in a daze.
Crackling...
The sound of firecrackers in the distance faintly reached his ears, and he suddenly reacted:
It turns out that today is the Spring Festival!
People in China often get up early on the Spring Festival, bring gifts or incense, visit relatives or worship local gods.
But now I am alone, a single dog, and I have no relatives or anything.
For me, this Spring Festival seems to be no different from any other days except that it is more lively around me.
It even highlights my loneliness and emptiness.
There’s a reason why single people are afraid of the Spring Festival.
I feel so lonely during every festive season!
Knock knock knock!
Just then, there was a knock on his dilapidated door.
Su Chen couldn't help but wonder, who would come knocking on his door so early in the morning?
Shouldn't normal people be visiting relatives or reuniting with family at this time?
With such doubts in mind, he walked quickly over and opened the door.
The door opened, and when I saw the petite figure with a youthful and beautiful aura.
Su Chen's eyes were filled with surprise: "Lanlan, why are you here?"
That’s right, the person who came uninvited this morning was his female assistant Lu Lanlan .
Lu Lanlan smiled and said sweetly, "Brother Chen, I know you must be alone today, so I came to accompany you."
If it were an ordinary student, he would have already dragged his luggage home to celebrate the New Year.
But as Su Chen's assistant, she naturally couldn't pull herself back.
If there is an urgent matter and I am not by Su Chen's side, wouldn't that be a disaster?
Su Chen stepped aside and waved his hand, saying, "It's up to you. You are always welcome here."
Since everyone was so familiar with each other, he didn't say any polite words and just let Lu Lanlan into the house.
Lu Lanlan was not shy either. She moved and jumped in from beside Su Chen like a little rabbit.
Su Chen sat back on the bed and said casually, "Pour yourself what you want to drink."
Lu Lanlan glanced at the thermos on the ground and said speechlessly: "Brother Chen, it seems that you don't have any other drinks besides boiled water?"
After that, she sniffed again and glanced at the small dining table.
Lu Lanlan frowned slightly and asked, "Brother Chen, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"
Su Chen said helplessly: "I just woke up and was about to make breakfast when you came."
Hearing this, Lu Lanlan immediately volunteered: "Then let me help you make breakfast !"
"Okay." Su Chen did not refuse.
As his female assistant, it was normal for Lu Lanlan to take care of his food and daily life.
After getting the boss's approval, Lu Lanlan immediately got busy.
"Let me see what ingredients we have, um...
Eggs, Chinese cabbage, Chinese sausage, bacon...most of them are New Year's goods.
Forget it, I'll make you a bowl of egg and cabbage noodles!"
Lu Lanlan made a decision quickly like a general.
Su Chen sat on the bed, looking at her busy back, his eyes unconsciously becoming a little dazed.
This girl looks naive, but she is very good at taking care of people.
Moreover, she is the kind of beauty who may not look stunning at first glance, but becomes more and more beautiful the more you look at her.
It is a very happy thing to have such a lively and lovely beauty to take care of you .
If this were put in the blind date market, I wonder how many people would have this as their dream wife.
Suddenly, Su Chen reached out and gently patted his cheek, interrupting his wandering thoughts.
He felt a little amused and wondered what he was thinking.
He still has a huge hole of 100 billion on his back!
Before completing the system task, touching upon the matter of feelings will be harmful to both parties.
"Brother Chen..."
Lu Lanlan was holding the almost empty bottle of sesame oil. She turned around to remind him to buy more, but she caught a glimpse of the strange expression on his face.
Brother Chen seems to be thinking about something. Is he looking at me?
No, Brother Chen must be thinking about something!
She felt a slight movement in her heart and gently put the bottle of sesame oil back without disturbing Su Chen.
As she cooked the noodles, she silently said to herself:
Lu Lanlan, ah Lu Lanlan, don't have too many illusions about Brother Chen.
He is one of the most popular stars in the entertainment industry today. How can an ordinary student like you get close to him?
Su Chen is her great benefactor, and she is eager to marry him.
But the huge gap in reality kept reminding her that she was not worthy of Su Chen.
For her, being able to stay with Su Chen and help him with things is a kind of happiness that others can hardly achieve.
The noodles are out of the pot, and the aroma is fragrant.
Lu Lanlan placed two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, planning to eat with Su Chen again.
In the small basement, the two of them finished their breakfast with their own thoughts.
After breakfast, Lu Lanlan suggested going out for a walk.
Of course Su Chen would not refuse. He had nothing to do today anyway, so it would be nice to go out for a walk.
The two of them went to the bustling street and found something amazing:
"Lanting Preface" and "Blue and White Porcelain" are playing on the streets.
It is obviously a modern city, but I could still hear the two new Chinese-style songs sung by Su Chen last night.
Lu Lanlan actually had the illusion that she had traveled back to ancient times to attend a market.
Looking at Su Chen, who was wrapped tightly beside her with only a pair of eyes showing, she couldn't help laughing, and her two little canine teeth were exposed.
"What are you laughing at?" Su Chen tilted his head slightly, with confusion in his eyes.
Lu Lanlan quickly put away her smile and pointed at her open phone:
"Brother Chen, look, many people want to follow your lead and create Chinese-style songs!"
"Let me see." Su Chen took Lu Lanlan's phone and started looking at it.
I only saw one message: "Breaking news! Many well-known musicians have decided to create Chinese-style songs!"
This entry is extremely popular and has already been listed on the hot search lists of major online platforms.
Su Chen moved his fingers slightly and clicked it.
Well-known musicians posted updates one after another, saying that they wanted to learn from Su Chen and create new Chinese-style songs.
From the various calligraphy, paintings and other ancient Chinese cultural relics they posted, it can be seen that these people are not just pretending but really want to create.
Looking at these developments, Su Chen couldn't help but feel relieved.
The fact that so many musicians are willing to create Chinese-style songs is also a great help to the inheritance and promotion of Chinese culture.
"Let's go, we'll go shopping and then go back." Su Chen returned the phone to Lu Lanlan.
The two continued to play "Lanting Preface" and "Blue and White Porcelain" as they walked along the street.
Half an hour later.
When they returned to the basement, Lu Lanlan had a bright red and crystal candied haws in her hand.
Well, the money must have been paid by Su Chen.
Originally, Lu Lanlan wanted to buy two, one for Brother Chen and one for himself.
But Su Chen refused to agree no matter what, which made her feel helpless.
I know you are frugal, but you are so frugal that you don’t even give yourself a little sweetness.
Is this a form of psychological self-abuse?
Lu Lanlan bit the candied haws and looked at Su Chen's back in front of her, a trace of heartache flashed through her heart.
Su Chen opened the door and sat back on the bed without thinking.
Suddenly, he stood up again, walked to his workbench and sat down.
"Brother Chen, no one should be urging me to submit my manuscript today because of the Spring Festival, right?" Lu Lanlan came over curiously.
"I'm a little bored, so I want to draw a few more storyboards for Boonie Bears for you."
Su Chen twirled his pencil and answered without turning his head.
Upon hearing this, Lu Lanlan suddenly became anxious.
She bit the candied haws in her mouth, held Su Chen's hand holding the pen with both hands, and refused:
"Brother Chen, take a few days off! Today is the Spring Festival and we should have a day off. You don't have to work overtime for me!"
"Brother Chen, you have been busy for so long recently. It's time to have a good rest!"
Since she started following Su Chen, she has gained so much from him.
She had never dared to imagine that she would have such a high income and such an easy job before.
Lu Lanlan felt that she owed Brother Chen too much.
Su Chen tilted his head slightly, pulled her little hand away, and said lightly:
"I'm free anyway, so I'll make the storyboard for you first. You can choose to release it during the Spring Festival, or you can leave it for later to digest slowly."
Seeing the serious look on Su Chen's face, Lu Lanlan knew that the decision he made would not be easily changed.
Helplessly, she could only let go and whispered, "Then Brother Chen, just stop at the right time."
"Don't tire yourself out!"
"Yeah." Su Chen lowered his head, his mind completely focused on the paper.
Lu Lanlan brought a stool and sat behind him, watching quietly.
Silence suddenly returned to the basement.
Very harmonious silence.
…
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
During these two days, Su Chen lived a relatively casual life.
When I feel like it, I'll write a few storyboards for "Boonie Bears".
If you're not in the mood, just play some games.
Lu Lanlan was not idle either.
Brother Chen is willing to work overtime for her.
For her comics career, Lu Lanlan has no reason to sit idle.
Su Chen made the storyboard, and she did the outlining and coloring.
Taking advantage of the Spring Festival, I will update the book again to give back to my readers.
Such a situation.
It immediately won praise from readers.
"Brother Chen is worthy of being Brother Chen! Others are on vacation during the holidays, but Brother Chen is updating his blog during the holidays! It's hard for a person like this not to be popular!"
"So, I only have one thing to say: Brother Chen, you are the eternal God in my heart!"
“…”
The third day of the New Year, evening.
Tonight is the premiere of Su Chen’s new drama "Chinese Hero".
Netizens from all walks of life are beginning to look forward to how much surprise Su Chen's new drama can bring them.
"I've finally waited for it. Su Chen's new work, "Chinese Heroes", may not seem impressive at first glance, but after reading part of the content, you will only be able to say one word: WTF!"
"Who watches TV shows by name these days? I watched it just for Su Chen. Although I haven't learned about the content of "Chinese Hero", I only know one thing: anything produced by Su Chen must be a masterpiece!"
"I became a fan of Su Chen because of his two Chinese-style songs during the Spring Festival Gala. I originally just wanted to watch them casually.
But now that I’ve read your description, I can’t help but look forward to it!”
"I really hope that this movie 'Chinese Hero' can be broadcast earlier. Every second of waiting is so painful. I even feel like ants are crawling on my body. It's so uncomfortable!"
"I've read Brother Chen's novel, it's close to fantasy, I wonder what the TV series will be like?"
“…”
It is not difficult to see from these comments that almost praise this new drama to the sky that Su Chen’s fans are very confident.
They even started predicting that the show’s opening ratings would rise.
“It starts at 5%!”
"The above person is too pessimistic! Can you be more realistic? At least 6% should be the starting point!"
"In fact, this "Chinese Hero" can be seen as a continuation of Su Chen's Chinese style, so, you know, the ratings will definitely not be low!"
“…”
In the basement.
Su Chen, who had just finished work, couldn't help but laugh when he saw the fans' comments.
It turns out that fans are the cutest people in the world!
Suddenly, he had an idea and couldn't help but post a message on Weibo:
"Everyone, I'm Su Chen, first of all I wish all my fans a happy new year!
I have seen your support and encouragement over the past year. It is because of you that I can maintain a high level of enthusiasm in my work.
So in order to give back to our fans, I will start an entertainment guessing game!
The rules of the event are: The first fan who guesses the ratings of tonight's "Chinese Heroes" will receive a set of autographed clothing!
(Note: I wore a white shirt and jeans outfit when I first appeared at the charity auction. The fan whose first guess is closest to the actual ratings will be the lucky winner!)”
As soon as this Weibo post was published, the entire Weibo platform was like being thrown into a school of small catfish and it exploded instantly!
In less than a minute, countless netizens swarmed into Su Chen's Weibo like cats smelling fish, and began to comment and speculate on the real ratings for tonight.
In just a few seconds, the number of comments under this Weibo post reached a terrifying number of millions!
What is most incredible is that the number of comments is still increasing wildly.
More and more netizens flocked to Weibo and commented under Su Chen’s Weibo.
Ten seconds later, all users who were still surfing the Weibo platform suddenly found that their pages were blank.
Under such a huge amount of traffic, the Weibo server was finally overwhelmed and collapsed!
This news was spread to other online platforms by netizens, and immediately caused an even greater sensation!
