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

That evening, the fan club for Fang Yu and Liu Yifei's CP (couple pairing) was already filled with the atmosphere of Chinese New Year.

Sisters! Tomorrow is May 520th! My heart is pounding with excitement, my hands are trembling! What do you all think Yu Ge will do this time?

I don't know! I'm both looking forward to it and scared! Do you guys remember Valentine's Day in Northeast China?

[How could I forget! First, she infuriated the fairy with her comment that "Chinese people don't celebrate Western holidays," then she countered with a handmade cotton candy machine and a sweet song, "Cotton Candy," that plot twist is something I'll remember forever!]

[Yes, yes, yes! Although we later found out that the cotton candy machine was made by dismantling a fairy hair dryer, which almost led to domestic violence, it was so romantic!]

So, will Yu Ge continue with his classic, hardcore romantic style for 520 this year, or will he try something different?

[Just a wild guess: he'll completely forget about the festival and then get chased by a celestial being for eight blocks.]

[Upstairs, that's too narrow-minded! I bet he'll say he doesn't celebrate holidays, but secretly prepare a super-huge surprise that will blow everyone's mind!]

Fang Yu crossed his legs and slumped on the gray sofa in his apartment in Chaoyang District.

He was scrolling through his phone while crunching away at potato chips.

Seeing the fans getting more and more excited as they chatted, Fang Yu couldn't help but purse his lips.

These people have such rich imaginations.

And a super big surprise?

He's been so busy lately, he doesn't have time to prepare any surprises.

However, Fang Yu's gaze suddenly stopped on the phrase "Chinese people don't celebrate Western holidays".

He did say that to Liu Yifei back in his hometown in Northeast China.

That's what he really thought back then.

What are 520 and Goddess Day? To put it bluntly, aren't they just gimmicks created by businesses to empty everyone's wallets?

If you have that spare money, why not buy a few pounds of pig's head meat and stew it at home? Wouldn't that be delicious?

Moreover, his relationship with Liu Yifei had not been fully clarified at that time.

For a bachelor with little money, it doesn't matter whether it's a holiday or not.

But now... things seem to be different.

First of all, he has a girlfriend, who is a national goddess.

Secondly, he doesn't seem to be short of money now.

The consumerist trap that I used to scoff at.

Now, it doesn't seem so repulsive anymore.

It can even become a perfectly legitimate excuse.

To openly and honestly ask the "Fairy Sister" out for a date, see a movie, have a meal, and maybe even give her a handbag, or...

and many more!

Fang Yu suddenly sat up straight, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

Holy crap.

This idea is dangerous!

We've only had a few good days, how come we're already being corrupted by capitalism?

How could Fang Yu, a model young man from the black soil of Northeast China, a down-to-earth top influencer deeply loved by the working people, forget his class position so quickly?

No!

Absolutely not!

Fang Yu raised his hand and slapped his thigh hard.

This dangerous trend must be nipped in the bud!

He needs to experience the life of an ordinary person again and rediscover that simple and unpretentious feeling.

We must also show ourselves, the celestial beauty, and those fans blinded by consumerism through our actions:

True romance has absolutely nothing to do with how much money is spent!

Thinking of this, Fang Yu immediately picked up his phone and dialed Liu Yifei's number.

The phone rang twice before being answered.

"Hey, fairy sister."

"Tomorrow is May 520th, you know that, right?"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Yifei's voice was very calm.

"Yeah, I know."

She paused, a hint of amusement in her voice.

"What, has Fang, the big star, finally seen the light? What surprise are you planning to give me?"

"Of course there will be surprises!"

Fang Yu straightened his back and pounded his chest loudly.

"And it's a revolutionary, soul-stirring surprise!"

This tone immediately piqued Liu Yifei's interest.

"That's amazing? Tell me, what is it?"

Fang Yu lowered his voice, deliberately putting on a mysterious air.

"I've decided that tomorrow we'll do a back-to-basics social practice activity."

"Social practice activities?"

Liu Yifei didn't quite understand.

"That's right!"

Fang Yu got more and more excited as he spoke.

The theme is... resisting consumerism and searching for the true nature of love!

Speak like a human.

Fang Yu: "..."

He coughed, finally revealing the answer.

"I'll take you on a date tomorrow. The total budget is two hundred yuan."

There was a full five seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

When Liu Yifei's voice came again, it was clearly tinged with hesitation, as if she was trying to confirm whether she had misheard.

"How many?"

"two hundred."

Fang Yu repeated it.

Worried that she might not have heard him clearly, he added:

"The Renminbi is not the US dollar."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Fang Yu could even hear a faint electrical hum, as well as Liu Yifei's deliberately slowed breathing.

His heart began to pound.

Isn't this a bit ahead of its time?

Should we add a couple of sentences now?

For example, this was just a performance art piece.

Or, how about changing the budget to two thousand?

Just as Fang Yu was about to speak, a soft laugh suddenly came from the other end of the phone.

"Pfft."

The laughter was soft, but Fang Yu heard it clearly.

"Fang Yu".

Liu Yifei's voice carried a hint of eagerness.

Are you sure?

"Of course I'm sure!"

Upon hearing that there was a chance, Fang Yu immediately gave his assurance.

"My word, Fang Yu's word is my bond!"

"Two hundred dollars for a whole day of dating?"

Liu Yifei repeated slowly.

"Including meals, transportation, and all entertainment options?"

"All-inclusive!"

Fang Yu waved his hand.

Although Liu Yifei couldn't see, she still had to project an imposing aura.

"Okay."

Liu Yifei agreed readily, even showing some excitement.

"That sounds interesting, but..."

She changed the subject.

"Since it's a challenge, there must be rules."

"you say."

Fang Yu immediately got into the zone.

"First, you can't rely on your face to gain favors, such as getting free meals or transportation, or having others offer you conveniences just because they recognize you. You can't do that."

"Don't worry, my character is far more valuable than my face."

"Second, you are not allowed to ask for help at all, such as asking Director Zhou to send a car or asking Director Wang to arrange a free attraction."

"no problem!"

Fang Yu readily agreed.

"Tomorrow I'll just be an ordinary citizen with only two hundred yuan in my pocket."

"third……"

Liu Yifei deliberately dragged out her words.

"And that's the most important one."

Fang Yu sat up straight instinctively.

"Um?"

"If you run out of money halfway through, or if I feel the date experience is too bad, then you have failed the challenge."

Fang Yu frowned.

"What will happen if we fail?"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Yifei chuckled softly.

The voice was both sweet and dangerous, like a little fox that had finally dug a trap.

"If you fail, you have to agree to one condition."

Fang Yu's brows furrowed even deeper.

"What are the conditions?"

"Keep it a secret for now."

"That's not fair."

"A challenge is a challenge; why worry about fairness?"

Liu Yifei paused, her tone becoming more provocative.

"What, even the famous star Fang is afraid to gamble?"

A provocation tactic?

Fang Yu immediately recognized it.

Unfortunately, he lived for twenty-four years, and what he couldn't accept most was being asked by others if he dared to do it.

"Let's gamble!"

Fang Yu slammed his hand on the table.

"Fairy Sister, just you wait and see!"

"Tomorrow I'm going to show you what real romance is like!"

"Okay, I'll be waiting."

……

The phone hangs up.

Liu Yifei, however, couldn't fall asleep.

She didn't actually expect Fang Yu to give her a bag worth tens of thousands of yuan or jewelry worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.

She could afford those things herself.

For her, those expensive gifts were far less appealing than the simple cotton candy machine that Fang Yu made for her in Northeast China using a hairdryer and an iron basin.

What she longed for was never material things.

A date for two hundred dollars...

This sounds much more interesting than the same old candlelight dinners and red roses.
