Volume 1 Beginning of Summer Chapter 53: Burning Herbal Jelly
Tang Butian walked out of the yard holding an umbrella.
The rain slid down both sides of the umbrella, and her shoes were clean, without any water stains or mud spots.
Jiang You turned around and closed the shop door.
Yang Xuan looked at him somewhat uneasily.
"I won't open the door these two days, you can stay here peacefully," Jiang You glanced at the clothes she was wearing, "Let's go upstairs? Let me put an iPad on the table for you? What do you want to watch, variety shows? TV series? Movies? Cartoons?"
"I, how's it going outside?"
"Outside?" Jiang You thought for a moment and understood what Yang Xuan meant. "Let's go up first."
Yang Xuan followed Jiang You up the stairs.
Jiang You took the iPad out of the bedroom, placed it on the workbench, and sat down on the computer chair behind the workbench. Yang Xuan floated to his side.
He opened Weibo on his iPad and said, "You're on the trending search list. Let me see. Your followers have increased by tens of thousands."
"Has the filming been suspended?"
"I have to wait until you wake up. Hey, it seems someone filmed a video of the boat capsizing..." Jiang You's hand slid down, "Interesting, look at the analysis of this video screenshot. Did you have a fight underwater? Someone attacked you? It looked very intense!"
"No," Yang Xuan denied, "There was no fight. The undercurrent was very strong when we fell down, so we got entangled together..."
"Where did the undercurrent in the artificial lake come from? And look at this. This person analyzed the Feng Shui of Wenfeng Park and your horoscope and said that your horoscope carries a yin element, which is very special, so the water ghost wants to take your life... This is amazing. He even dug up a case that happened 20 years ago."
“The date of birth on my ID card is wrong.”
"Wrong?"
"The person who registered it made a mistake. I was born in September, but he wrote October."
“This could all be wrong.”
"We have a lot of this kind of situation in the countryside."
"So do you celebrate your birthday in September or October every year?"
"Both. I also celebrate my lunar birthday."
"Does the lunar calendar also come twice?"
"Yes, why not celebrate the rules?" Yang Xuan said righteously.
Jiang You laughed out loud, "That's right. Today is the hottest day of the year, so we need to eat grass jelly." He opened the food delivery app, "What do you want to add? Taro balls? Raisins? Candied dates..."
Yang Xuan floated behind him and looked at the menu. "Classic Grass Jelly."
"Okay, I'll have a classic one too."
After watching Jiang You place the order, Yang Xuan asked, "Can I eat it?"
Jiang You glanced at her and said, "This is indeed a problem."
Yang Xuan listened to him muttering, his voice blending with the sound of rain. "Both Buddhism and Taoism have rituals for offering food. You can find out more or less by searching Baidu. However, I remember that they seem to be very complicated. You don't seem to be a ghost yet. If I give you food carelessly, it may affect your return to your body in the future, so..."
"So what?"
"Would you let me poke your cheeks, like, puff them up and pinch them up like that pufferfish face you did last night on the show when you were playing peekaboo in your pajamas?"
Yang Xuan was a little confused, "Then what?"
"Then I can poke it, and poof...all the air comes out."
"oh."
"May I?"
"Okay, right..."
Then, she saw Jiang You took a transparent silk thread from somewhere in his hand.
The silk thread was wrapped around her right wrist, tied tightly, and tied into a knot.
Then she felt her body sinking and she stepped on the ground. She turned around and reached out her hand, reaching for the workbench.
She touched it.
"This is, I..."
"It's a little hard to explain... Come on, Puffer Face, first step, pout your mouth."
Yang Xuan pouted.
"The second step is to lift up the meat."
Yang Xuan spread out the thumb and index finger of her right hand and lifted her cheek.
Before Jiang You could take the third step, her eyes widened.
Young skin is plump and elastic, exuding the breath of youth.
Jiang You stood up, stretched out his right index finger, and poked Yang Xuan's puffy cheek. Yang Xuan cooperated with the sound of "Puff~~~~", and pushed her hands to both sides while shaking.
"It feels good." Jiang You withdrew his hand and savored it.
His cell phone rang, and he picked it up. It was takeaway food. He walked around the workbench and said, "You can sit here. The iPad is yours to use. Just don't log in with your own account."
Yang Xuan sat down and said, "I have a trumpet, and only I know it."
"Don't log in, this matter is probably quite complicated."
As he said that, he walked downstairs , went out of the yard to get the takeaway. After going upstairs, he saw Yang Xuan browsing Weibo with a serious expression.
He placed a bowl of grass jelly in front of Yang Xuan and asked, "What's wrong?"
"123 moving forward may disband."
He pulled a chair and sat down on the other side of the workbench, took out a spoon, opened the lid, scooped a spoonful and put it into his mouth. "Hmm, it's pretty good, you try it, why did they disband? No contract? Can't you just continue filming when you wake up? If you don't want to go into the water, you can do some land-based entertainment."
"We are not from the same agency to begin with, and we are all girls , so there are bound to be some bumps in the road when we get along with each other. But now with this incident, these video analyses, and the rumors, those small conflicts have been magnified, and several fan groups have started arguing. No matter what, it will be very awkward in the future. In fact, we all have a good relationship, although we can't say we are good friends. After all, we come from all over the world and grew up in different environments..."
"There are some internet trolls leading the charge, creating hype and topics."
"Maybe, maybe." Yang Xuan lowered her head, ate a candied date, and pursed her lips. "Little Naughty 24 must be so happy."
"The group that's still holding auditions?"
"Yes, we 123 came out first. We have all the variety shows, commercials, singles and fan meetings scheduled for the summer. If we disband, it will be the Little Naughty who will eat up our market."
Jiang You quickly finished a bowl of grass jelly.
"Little Naughty was created by Panjin Culture, right?" he asked.
"Yes, Panjin is a big company. Could they have planned this accident?"
Jiang You did not answer her, but asked: "If it disbands, what are you going to do?"
"Just do what you have to do." Yang Xuan put down the spoon and finished eating.
"You think clearly, which is different from what you see on TV."
"Fuck the character, you stopped being a fan? Don't attack me back!"
She took the script of Nutrition Grows on Her Chest in the group .
Jiang You took a look at the color of the bra showing through the white T-shirt and said, "No, I like it even more. I'll go buy ten boxes of the nut gift packs you endorse and try to light up Tang Jiang."
"A box weighs twenty kilograms."
"I eat it as a meal."
Yang Xuan finally smiled, then she sighed, "Can I really go back to my body?"
"Yes, I did. I just sent one back last week. It seemed to have woken up the day before yesterday. I'll go see him when I'm free." Jiang You closed the lid, put both boxes back into the takeaway bag and tied it tightly.
"Are you an exorcist?" Yang Xuan asked.
"I'm a people's policeman. The one who just interrogated you is my direct superior. Do you want to buy some postcards? There are quite a few on the shelf downstairs. If you like any of them, just take two."
"postcard?"
"Yes," Jiang You looked at the transparent spider silk on Yang Xuan's wrist, "Send it to yourself or to a friend, it's all fine."
