The Way of Heaven Rewards Diligence in Film and Television

Chapter 53 Accompanying Hongdou to the Ancient City

Lin Yang discovered that the more melodramatic the plot, the more addictive it became once he got into it.

Lin Yang, who watched TV until very late, did a hundred push-ups and sit-ups before washing up and resting.

Meanwhile, Xu Hongdou, who couldn't sleep, got up and went downstairs to the kitchen. She chatted with Damai and Nana and had a late-night snack before going back to sleep.

Early in the morning, Lin Yang got up and cooked porridge, then made a large basket of steamed buns himself.

"You're up? The porridge is ready, and the steamed buns will be ready soon," Lin Yang, who was watching over the steamed buns, said as he saw Xu Hongdou, who was already dressed and ready, coming over.

"You're up so early! I was going to invite you out for breakfast, but I didn't expect you to be almost done," Xu Hongdou said a little embarrassedly, "I'm always mooching off you..."

"Just invite me a few more times later," Lin Yang said with a smile.

"No problem, I'll treat you to a nice lunch when we get to the ancient city," Xu Hongdou said, then asked, "By the way, where are Nana and Damai? Should we invite them over for lunch?"

"Nana has already gone to work. She told me to save some steamed buns for her to eat when she comes back tonight. Damai should be asleep by now too," Lin Yang said.

Xu Hongdou chuckled, and seeing Lin Yang about to serve her some porridge, she quickly said, "I can do it myself..."

When Xu Hongdou served Lin Yang a bowl of white rice porridge and put it on the table, Lin Yang, seeing that the steamed buns were almost done, turned off the stove and picked up the buns.

"Come on, have a taste. We have freshly steamed pork buns and radish and vermicelli buns." Soon, Lin Yang brought over the steaming hot buns.

"You steamed two kinds of fillings?" Xu Hongdou asked, somewhat surprised.

"I didn't know what flavor you liked, so I steamed two kinds," Lin Yang said with a smile.

Xu Hongdou was taken aback when she heard this, but Lin Yang said immediately, "Come on, try my steamed buns and see if they suit your taste."

"Oh, okay," Xu Hongdou nodded with a smile, picking up a steamed bun to eat, when Lin Yang quickly said, "Be careful, it's hot!"

Xu Hongdou paused for a moment, gave a slightly embarrassed smile, and then began to eat.

"How is it?" Lin Yang asked with a smile after Xu Hongdou had almost finished eating a bun.

"Mmm, delicious! Yes..." Xu Hongdou said subconsciously.

"It's at a level where you can open a shop," Lin Yang replied.

Xu Hongdou chuckled: "It tastes even better than what you get at breakfast shops."

"That's good," Lin Yang breathed a sigh of relief and then busied himself with eating.

After having breakfast, the two left the courtyard together and soon arrived at the parking area at the village entrance.

"Shall we drive our RV to the ancient city?" Xu Hongdou was stunned again when she saw Lin Yang's RV.

"Yes, I don't have any other cars, and this car can't just be parked here forever," Lin Yang nodded.

"Are you sitting in the back or...?" Lin Yang continued to ask.

"Oh, I'll sit in the passenger seat," Xu Hongdou said, stepping forward to open the car door and get in.

Lin Yang, who then got into the car, skillfully drove it out of the village and soon onto the highway by Erhai Lake.

"Will it be easy to park this car when we get to the ancient city?" Xu Hongdou couldn't help but ask.

"It should be fine. I've driven this car to many tourist attractions," Lin Yang said. "Actually, you'll be more comfortable sitting in the back."

"It's okay, it's the same. Sitting in the front gives you a better view," Xu Hongdou said with a shake of her head and a smile.

"By the way, why did you decide to travel in a campervan?" Xu Hongdou asked curiously.

"It's simple. I suddenly inherited a fortune, and if I don't squander it, it should be enough for a lifetime."

Lin Yang casually said, "So, I didn't want to be a beast of burden anymore, and I wanted to live a freer life, so I went traveling."

"After that, I filmed travel videos, did social media, and did live streaming, which earned me some money. I realized that I not only didn't spend much money on this trip, but I also made some."

"You can make money while traveling? You're so Versailles-like!" Xu Hongdou was somewhat speechless.

"Actually, I didn't think I could make money at first. Maybe it's because I'm too sincere and my travel experiences are too real that I've attracted a lot of fans," Lin Yang said.

"And you? What made you suddenly decide to travel? With your job, it must be difficult to take such a long vacation, right?" Lin Yang asked in turn.

"I...resigned to come here," Xu Hongdou said after a slight hesitation.

Lin Yang nodded to indicate that he understood: "Yes, the service industry is indeed quite tough. If you haven't decided what you want to do in the future, would you be interested in traveling with me sometime?"

"Travel? With you?" Xu Hongdou looked at Lin Yang with a strange expression.

Lin Yang looked straight ahead with a serious expression and said, "I have so many fans even when I travel alone. If it's two people traveling together, a handsome guy and a beautiful girl, it will definitely be even more appealing! The fan-attracting effect will definitely be greater than one plus one."

Xu Hongdou was speechless, while Lin Yang continued, "Have you discovered another advantage of mine? I not only like to boast, but I'm also a bit too narcissistic and confident."

"Just focus on driving!" Xu Hongdou chuckled.

Upon arriving in the ancient city and parking the car, Lin Yang first accompanied Xu Hongdou to withdraw money before going to a mobile phone shop to repair her phone.

"You only need to replace the screen," the saleswoman said after checking.

"Won't the things on my phone be gone?" Xu Hongdou asked repeatedly.

"No, the motherboard isn't broken, it's fine," the young woman said. "I don't have a screen in my shop right now, I'll have to send one over. Please leave me your phone number, I'll call you when it's fixed."

"Okay," Xu Hongdou subconsciously looked at Lin Yang beside her, and Lin Yang quickly added, "Then leave me your phone number! Should I write it down or...?"

"Just give me the number," the young woman said, taking out her phone. After Lin Yang gave her the number and she made the call to confirm, she hung up and said, "It should be fixed in about three days."

"Okay, thank you!" Leaving the mobile phone store and looking at the bustling shops of Dali Old Town, Xu Hongdou couldn't help but smile and say, "It's so lively!"

"Since you've come all this way, let's take a look around!" Lin Yang said.

"Yes, I'm also planning to buy some things and send them back," Xu Hongdou added.

The two then strolled around, and Xu Hongdou sent some local ham to her parents and bought some tea.

Lin Yang also bought some tea and some Dali specialty flower cakes, and sent them to Beijing to his adopted sister who was not related to him by blood.

After all, it's quite hard work for them to help run the company and make money for him.

After walking around for a while, and seeing that it was almost lunchtime, Lin Yang and Xu Hongdou went to a nice restaurant in the ancient city.

After finishing their meal, they strolled around for a bit to digest before driving back home.

"Oh right, let me pay you back first!" On the way back, Xu Hongdou said, preparing to take out her money.

"No need to rush. You withdrew a lot of cash today, bought a lot of things, and paid for your meal. Do you have enough left? Once your phone is fixed, you can transfer the money to me via WeChat, just like before," Lin Yang said.

"Okay, I'll transfer it to you later," Xu Hongdou said, and didn't insist any further.

Anyway, now that the phone is fixed, we'll inevitably have to add each other on WeChat.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Xu Hongdou couldn't help but say, "I forgot to buy an alarm clock or a watch. It's inconvenient to check the time when my phone is broken."

"I think I have a spare phone in my car, but it doesn't have a SIM card. Why don't you take it and use it for now?" Lin Yang said.

"A spare phone?" Xu Hongdou asked Lin Yang.

"Yes, I almost forgot. I'll have to look for it when we get back. I don't know where I left it in the car," Lin Yang said.

"I forgot to take my SIM card out," Xu Hongdou suddenly said.
