Huayu: Starting with Hextech

May 1, 2009, Labor Day

[Ding! Holiday detected: International Workers' Day, May Day]

[Since his rebirth, the host has worked diligently and conscientiously in filming, making him a model of hard work in the entertainment industry!]

Hextech is awarding this special "Labor is Glorious" bonus as a token of our appreciation!

The system interface unfolds in a deep blue color, with a background of golden wheat ears symbolizing a bountiful harvest, creating a strong festive atmosphere.

Option 1: Lucky Star

Effect: After activation, the host's luck value will be greatly increased within the next week.

Increased chances of winning prizes in lotteries, a higher probability of encountering pleasant surprises, smoother progress in all endeavors, and even unexpected good fortune. Hard work pays off, and luck accompanies you!

Option Two: A Love Tribulation

Effect: After use, it enhances the "affinity" and ambiguous tension between you and a member of the opposite sex.

A fleeting encounter, a glance, an unexpected physical contact... the threads of fate will be subtly plucked.

Please note that good fortune in love can also be a source of trouble; choose your partner carefully and maintain appropriate boundaries.

Option 3: A Sudden Realization of Acting Skills

Effect: Upon selection, the host will experience an "enlightenment" state during the next shoot. This grants an extraordinary sensitivity and burst of inspiration regarding character emotions, performance details, and camera angles, aiding in the completion of challenging scenes or the creation of iconic shots. The fruits of your labor deserve professional recognition!

……

The three options each have their own emphasis.

Option three is very useful. For actors who are filming key scenes, an "aha" moment can mean the birth of a classic shot.

Option two carries a distinct air of ambiguity and danger; the name "Peach Blossom Calamity" alone is enough to evoke the imagination.

Lin Xiao's gaze finally landed on option one.

Lucky Star.

Luck will increase in the following week.

This seemingly most "ordinary" option was actually the one that interested him the most.

Luck, this mysterious thing, can often play an unexpected role at crucial moments.

Moreover, it lasts for a week and is applicable to a wider range of scenarios.

As for option two... Lin Xiao glanced at the description of "Peach Blossom Tribulation".

Yang Mi or Wang Likun?

The thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before he suppressed it.

Now is not the time to play with fire.

"I choose one."

[Confirm selection! The 'Lucky Star' aura is now active.]

[Wishing you a pleasant holiday and lots of good luck!]

The system interface faded out.

Lin Xiao got up, drew back the curtains, and saw that the May sunshine was bright but not glaring.

He stretched his limbs and felt refreshed today; even the birdsong on the branches outside the window sounded particularly pleasant.

My phone vibrated; it was a text message from Yang Mi: "Lin Xiao, are you up yet? We agreed to go out today, don't stand me up! (Hands on hips)"

Yesterday, when he finished work, Yang Mi blocked him and insisted on asking him to go out and have fun during the May Day holiday.

The reason given was that "the crew is so bored filming every day, they finally have a break and need to relax."

Lin Xiao was about to decline, but then he saw Wang Likun walk by. An idea struck him, and he said, "Sure, Sister Mi. But wouldn't it be inappropriate for just the two of us to go out? Why don't we invite Likun along?"

Yang Mi's expression immediately darkened, but Wang Likun had already heard her. He turned his head, his clear eyes looking at Lin Xiao, and asked softly, "Is it alright? Will it disturb you?"

"Of course not," Lin Xiao said with a smile. "It's more fun with more people."

Yang Mi bit her lip, finally forcing a smile: "Yes, Li Kun, let's go together. Our crew has three beauties... uh, two beauties and one handsome guy, perfect!"

And so, the trio came together today.

Lin Xiao replied to Yang Mi: "I'm up. See you in the lobby in half an hour."

He sent Wang Likun another message: "Likun, are you ready? We'll meet in the lobby later."

Wang Likun quickly replied, "Okay, Lin Xiao, I'll be right down."

Half an hour later, in the hotel lobby

Yang Mi was clearly dressed up carefully.

She wore a pale yellow dress that reached above her knees, revealing a pair of straight, fair legs, and white strappy sandals.

Her hair was styled in large waves, and she wore delicate, light makeup, making her look as radiant as a blooming sunflower.

In contrast, Wang Likun is much more plain-looking.

A white cotton shirt, light blue jeans, white canvas shoes, long, soft hair draped over her shoulders, and only a touch of lipstick—she looked as fresh and beautiful as a gardenia on a clear summer morning.

Lin Xiao wore a simple gray polo shirt and khaki casual pants, looking clean and refreshing.

"Wow, Lin Xiao, you look especially handsome today..." Yang Mi looked him up and down, her eyes shining. "Did you get a new hairstyle or...?"

I can't put it into words, it's just a feeling.

Today, Lin Xiao, standing there, seemed to be radiating light, possessing an inexplicable and inexplicable attraction.

"Sister Mi looks beautiful today too," Lin Xiao said with a smile, then turned to Wang Likun, "Likun too, you look very fresh in this outfit."

Wang Likun smiled slightly: "Thank you."

Yang Mi pouted, walked to Lin Xiao's side, and took his arm:

"Let's go, let's go! I've planned everything for today! We'll go to that new theme park in Dongyang this morning, have some local specialties for lunch, do some shopping in the afternoon, and we'll see how things go in the evening!"

She performed the hand-holding gesture with effortless grace, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Lin Xiao could feel the soft touch and warmth coming from his arm.

He glanced at Wang Likun beside him, whose expression remained unchanged, but whose gaze lingered on their linked arms for half a second.

"Sister Mi, it's inconvenient to walk like this." Lin Xiao subtly withdrew his arm and instead made a "please" gesture, "Ladies, please go first."

Yang Mi's hand froze in mid-air for a moment, but she quickly smiled again: "Okay, then stay close, don't get lost!"

Dongyang Dreamland was packed with people during the May Day holiday.

Yang Mi clearly enjoys lively activities; she became excited as soon as she entered the park and dragged Lin Xiao to ride the most thrilling roller coaster.

"Li Kun, come together!" She turned around and called to Wang Li Kun.

Wang Likun looked at the winding tracks, his face slightly pale, but he still nodded: "Okay."

While queuing, Lin Xiao noticed that Wang Likun's fingers were unconsciously twisted together.

He asked in a low voice, "Are you scared?"

Wang Likun nodded, then shook his head: "A little... but I'd like to give it a try."

"If you're scared, just hold my hand," Lin Xiao said naturally.

Wang Likun looked up at him, her eyes showing surprise, and something else entirely.

She gave a soft "hmm".

Hearing this, Yang Mi immediately leaned over and said, "Lin Xiao, I'm scared too! You have to protect me later!"

Lin Xiao chuckled: "Honey, who was just yelling about wanting to sit in the front row?"

"That's different! A roller coaster and being afraid are two different things!" Yang Mi said confidently.

Finally, it was their turn.

Just as Yang Mi wished, the three of them sat in the first row.

After securing the safety lever, the machine slowly starts and ascends.

Wang Likun gripped the handrail tightly, his knuckles turning white.

Just as the roller coaster reached its highest point and was about to plunge down, Lin Xiao suddenly reached out and grabbed Wang Likun's hand.

Wang Likun was startled and turned to look at him.

Lin Xiao smiled at her but didn't say anything.

The next second, the roller coaster plunged down at an almost vertical angle!

"ah!!!"

Yang Mi's screams echoed through the sky.

Wang Likun couldn't help but cry out, but Lin Xiao held her hand, and that warm strength strangely eased her tension.

The wind whistled in my ears, and I felt a strong sense of weightlessness.

At a sharp bend, Lin Xiao's right arm was also tightly gripped by another hand.

It's Yang Mi.

She leaned in close, eyes closed, screaming, but gripping his hand so tightly it hurt.

After getting off the roller coaster, Yang Mi's face was flushed, and she excitedly shouted that she wanted to ride it again.

Wang Likun was pale and his legs were weak. He was only able to stand up after being supported by Lin Xiao.

"Thank you..." she whispered, her hand still being held by him, and she forgot to pull it away.

"It's okay." Lin Xiao let go of her hand and went to buy water naturally.

Yang Mi narrowed her eyes as she watched this scene.
