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

Fang Daqiang really didn't expect this.

He gave me a long and earnest explanation before I went into the woods.

These city kids completely ignored it.

How far have we even gone into the woods?

Then some people started jumping around under the old tree!

He strode over and grabbed Hua Yu by the back of his collar with his large hand.

Two slaps on the back.

The force was extremely heavy.

He forcefully patted out all the snowflakes that had seeped into the gaps in his collar.

"Did the snow get in?"

"Move your neck a bit, see if it's cool inside?"

Hua Yu was nearly knocked out of his body by those two slaps, and he shook his head in a daze.

"No...it's nothing."

"I didn't go in; my collar was covered tightly..."

Old Fang frowned and leaned closer to look him up and down.

Only after confirming that the boy was mostly unharmed except for his pale face did they breathe a sigh of relief.

"That's good. If the snow had melted inside, it would have definitely caused serious illness in this freezing weather!"

however.

Old Fang's gaze, which had just relaxed, naturally tilted downwards.

Their gazes froze instantly.

He noticed Hua Yu's right hand, which was raised high.

Between the fingers of the cotton gloves.

A few crumpled green leaves stubbornly stick out, waving in the wind.

Fang Daqiang was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Why won't you listen to advice and insist on getting close to this old tree!"

"So you're just yelling like that because you want to get these few pieces!"

He slapped his thigh, his voice booming.

"You silly child! You should have told your uncle sooner!"

"Uncle will find a long stick and poke it down for you in a few moves. Why do you have to suffer like this all by yourself!"

The moment that loud voice came out...

Everyone present heard it clearly.

This should have been a scene so dramatic it would have been enough to carve out a magical castle for everyone.

But Hua Yu is someone who has made his way up in the spotlight of the entertainment industry.

Putting aside other things.

His facial expression management and mental fortitude are quite impressive.

He took a deep breath.

Slowly and very calmly, he lowered his raised right hand.

Then he reached out and patted the snow off his shoulder.

Shake your left shoulder twice, then your right shoulder twice.

Even if the bangs on her forehead have frozen into crispy noodles, she still has to carefully fidget with them a couple of times.

Then, Hua Yu, with a calm expression, spoke:

"Uncle Daqiang, you've misunderstood."

"Actually, this grass..."

"I picked them for a friend."

These words were spoken.

The entire room fell silent.

Even the cold wind in the Greater Khingan Mountains paused for a second at that moment.

Then--

The chat in the live stream exploded!

[Holy crap, hahaha! I picked these for a friend!]

[Case solved, folks! My wild guess is this friend's surname is Hua?!]

Is this the legendary "I Have a Friend" series?!

[First Fang Yu and Chen Daoming engaged in academic research, then Hua Yu risked his life for his brothers! These celebrities have monstrous mental fortitude!]

Got it, the reason I didn't become a star is simply because I'm not shameless enough!

After hearing Hua Yu's resounding line.

Fang Yu and Chen Daoming were a few meters away.

"cut--"

The old man and the young man, almost at the same time, let out two extremely long, disdainful snorts.

Same tune.

Same beat.

It was a perfect tribute to Hua Yu's disdainful remark earlier.

What's this called?

This is called precise mockery between peers!

However, the simple and honest Fang Daqiang was shocked when he heard this.

Not only did I not find it funny, but I took it to heart.

"Oh, so that's what happened!"

Old Fang took a small step closer and lowered his voice.

"But Xiaohua, let me tell you something."

"Although this 'Aoaojiao' does have some effect after drinking it, it is ultimately just a wild tea drink, which only treats the symptoms and not the root cause."

What's the specific situation with your friend?

"How badly is he weak? Should I get him something even stronger later?"

Hua Yu blinked: "Suddenly...suddenly?"

Fang Daqiang smiled mysteriously and leaned even closer:

"Wild ginseng soaked in wine, deer antler slices, and even whole deer penises—these are all family recipes, and they're incredibly effective!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Yu...

Her eyes, which had been feigning aloofness to hide her embarrassment, immediately lit up.

Although... this deer penis does sound pretty impressive!

Talking about this will keep him awake!

Even if my heart is already pounding with excitement.

Hua Yu maintained a composed and steady demeanor on the surface.

He immediately adopted a serious expression, looking very worried about "that nameless friend".

"Uncle Daqiang, you don't know, my friend... he's actually a very good person, he just works too hard."

He considered his words carefully before continuing.

"He's not actually incapable, absolutely not!"

Hua Yu emphasized this point.

"Well... I've been working too hard lately, non-stop every day, and I haven't been sleeping well."

"So sometimes when I wake up in the morning... my lower back and knees are sore and weak, and my lower back feels empty and a bit powerless."

"And then there's the occasional... really rare, isolated situation where I feel a bit overwhelmed."

"Of course, everything's fine most of the time! There are absolutely no problems!"

"It was just... just once or twice."

Hua Yu explained in increasing detail.

The more detailed the explanation, the more obvious it seems like they're trying to hide something.

He was completely unaware of it, and even became more and more immersed in the role.

But the few people around who were listening intently were already nearly bursting with suppressed urges.

however.

Before Fang Daqiang could continue, he offered medication guidance.

Fang Yu, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, had already started taking long strides.

I waded through the thick snow, taking two steps at a time.

He reached out and, with an extremely familiar air, hooked his arm around Hua Yu's shoulder.

"Oh my, Teacher Hua!"

"I didn't realize you knew so much about your 'friend's' daily routine and even such private physical conditions!"

Hua Yu's back tensed instantly.

Fang Yu continued to smile:

"You two are practically inseparable!"

Fang Yu paused deliberately at this point.

That pause was just right.

It grew so long that it startled Hua Yu into breaking out in a cold sweat.

It was so short that he didn't have time to make any defense.

Fang Yu nudged Hua Yu's chest lightly with his elbow.

Lowering his voice, he delivered the fatal blow in the most irritating tone.

"I'm saying, Teacher Hua... your friend..."

"Could it be you?"

Swish-!

Hua Yu's delicate face froze on the spot.

Its colors shift from blue to white, changing so richly it rivals the aurora borealis.

He roared inwardly:

Fang Laogou, have some decency!
