Taking Liu Yifei back to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year has sent the entire internet into

Having secured the agreement with the production team and both agencies, Director Wang was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

He stood up from the kang (a heated brick bed), his face flushed, and grasped Fang Yu's hand tightly, saying excitedly:

"Teacher Fang, Teacher Liu, everything's settled!"

Everything is ready, except for the final push!

After saying that, he glanced down at the time on his phone screen and his expression changed drastically.

"No, I have to go back right away!"

"The venue, props, extras, and film crew all need to be in place by tomorrow morning within two days!"

"Not a minute can be wasted!"

He turned and yelled at Xiao Zhao:

"Let's go back to the station! We need to have a meeting right away!"

Xiao Zhao sprang up from the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and hurriedly ran outside.

Zhao Guifang chased after him, calling out, "Director Wang! Stay for lunch!"

"Big sister, next time, next time! After the music video is finished filming, I'll throw a celebration party for everyone!"

Director Wang waved his hand without turning his head and jogged into the black SUV.

……

night.

After returning from visiting relatives at my aunt's house.

Fang Yu sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), facing the live broadcast camera, and cleared his throat.

"Um... everyone, I have something to tell you all."

"For the next two days, my fairy sister and I are going to do something big, the kind of thing that involves dedicating ourselves to art."

"Therefore, the live stream will be suspended for two days."

"Resumption will be on time at 9:00 AM the day after tomorrow."

That's all, don't miss us too much.

After saying that, he didn't give the audience any time to react. He waved casually at the camera and shouted.

"Fairy Sister! Power outage!"

As Liu Yifei responded with an "OK!" from the side, the power was cut off.

The live stream suddenly went completely black.

【Oh no! It's really going to be canceled?!】

[Waaaaah, I'm going to die without Fang Yu and Fairy Sister watching over me! How am I supposed to survive these next two days?!]

Withdrawal symptoms have started; my hands are shaking, my legs are cramping, and I feel like life has lost its meaning!

[Don't panic, upstairs! Although they've stopped broadcasting, Hua Yu is still streaming!]

Oh! I'd completely forgotten about this person if you hadn't mentioned them!

[Hahahaha! This is cruel! It's like killing someone by breaking their spirit!]

……

the next day.

The fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Without Fang Yu and Liu Yifei, "Going Home for the New Year" seems to have lost its soul.

Countless homeless viewers, with the mindset of "it's okay even if there are no fish or shrimp," reluctantly flooded into Hua Yu's live stream.

Hua Yu clearly came prepared today.

Fang Yu's two-day hiatus means that tens of millions of viewers with nowhere else to go will flock to his live stream.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture the massive influx of traffic.

He took Ju Jingyi to a very famous old-brand snack street in Wuhan.

Instead of going to those fancy trendy shops, we went straight to the old stall at the very back of the alley with the longest queue.

It's clear he did his homework.

"Today, I'm taking you to try the most authentic Wuhan breakfast."

Hua Yu smiled at the camera, his tone much more relaxed than a few days ago.

But when he walked up to the greasy plastic square table and pulled out the red plastic stool...

His movements paused for about half a second.

His hand hovered above the stool, his fingertips slightly bent, as if he wanted to wipe it.

Then I held back.

He sat down as if nothing had happened.

That half-second was captured clearly by the comments section.

Did you guys see that? Hua Yu almost wiped the chair with his hand just now.

[I held back! I held back! That's huge progress!]

[It's already quite an achievement that people can sit on plastic stools at roadside stalls, so let's not be too demanding!]

The hot dry noodles were served.

The alkaline noodles were piled high with a thick layer of sesame paste, the dark brown sauce still unmixed and spilling all over the bowl.

There was a small dish of pickled cowpeas and chopped green onions on the side.

Hua Yu picked up the bamboo chopsticks and stirred the noodles methodically, ensuring the sauce coated them evenly.

He lowered his head and took a big bite.

He chewed twice, and his brow twitched slightly.

"Hmm...it smells nice."

He spoke very briefly.

It was as if she was controlling herself not to say anything more.

But the next second, Hua Yu couldn't help himself.

"They gave a generous amount of sesame paste... but the texture of this alkaline noodle soup..."

He stopped halfway through his sentence.

It seems like they've realized something.

"...Never mind, it's pretty good."

He lowered his head and took another bite of noodles.

This ending sentence, no matter how you look at it, reeks of an unwilling compromise.

Sitting opposite him, Ju Jingyi quietly ate her three-delicacy bean curd skin, her eyes somewhat vacant.

She could sense that Hua Yu was all about "business".

This feeling made even the food in front of her taste bland.

After watching for more than ten minutes, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room was as dull as a stagnant pool.

Hua Yu performed exceptionally well today, but he still lacks a bit of temper.

Comparisons are unavoidable. The day before yesterday, I saw Fang Yu eating a toad mouth-to-mouth, and now I see Hua Yu...

It's not that Hua Yu is bad, it's that Fang Yu raised the bar too high.

[Ju Jingyi looked so suffocated, she didn't dare to say a word the whole time! Run, little sister!]

Indeed, compare that to Liu Yifei's unrestrained behavior in front of Fang Yu...sigh.

[Never mind, let's wait for Fang Yu to come back. I'll go grind his slices first.]

Many viewers shook their heads and left the live stream.

Another group of people went to Chen Daoming and Zhang Manyu's live stream.

Two veteran actors are enjoying tea and discussing philosophy with a community leader in a Chinatown teahouse, creating a refined and tranquil atmosphere.

Netizens politely praised him a few times for "having great integrity," and then... quietly left.

For viewers accustomed to Fang Yu's lively style, this was rather soporific.

Ultimately, after failing to find any entertainment in either live stream, most viewers simply shut down all the live streams.

They started discussing wildly online, speculating about what Fang Yu and Liu Yifei's music video would look like.

#A divine couple's first on-screen appearance#

One topic after another trended on social media.

A day without information actually became the best warm-up.

Everyone's expectations were raised to an unprecedented level.

They were all waiting.

Waiting for the live stream room to light up again at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow.
