A live stream that dramatically transformed a depressed schoolgirl shocked netizens across the count

The overhead lights in the living quarters went out.

The car windows were switched to full blackout mode, the shadows of the lights outside the glass were blocked by black, and the holographic monitoring screen was suspended above the dining table.

Four main images fill the screen: the south gate, the fire exit, the large camphor tree in the northwest corner, and the rear of a heavy truck.

Each screen is marked with a red warning line at its edge, indicating that people are approaching, wireless scanning is occurring, and abnormal heat sources are being flagged by Titan.

The guesthouse on the opposite bank of the river occupies a separate space.

The curtains on the rooftop were drawn tightly shut, leaving only a human-shaped outline in the thermal imaging.

The person sat by the window, keeping their shoulders at the same height, without moving for a full twenty minutes.

Chen Lang leaned against the dining table, holding an empty water glass in his hand.

"Still keeping an eye on it?"

"Maintain an observation stance regarding the target."

Titan replied, "He's more diligent than a security guard on night watch."

Shen Qingci sat opposite him, her notebook spread out on her lap.

The three locations, Hongqiao, Dongzheng Street, and Beimen Wharf, were crossed out with ink lines, leaving several deep marks on the paper.

She picked up her pen and added a line of text next to it.

"Publicly known as 'Safe,' hidden route."

Chen Lang stared at the screen and reached out to turn off the audio recording of the guesthouse.

"Give it to Titan first."

Shen Qingci raised her head.

Are you getting ready to sleep?

"If I go to bed hungry, how will I fight them tomorrow?"

I ate two bowls of rice for dinner.

"Rescuing people off a cliff is extremely taxing."

Chen Lang walked to the kitchen and opened the freezer.

Half a piece of Xiangxi cured pork, a bag of rice noodles, pickled cowpeas and a bunch of green vegetables were placed on the worktable one by one.

He opened the spice compartment, took out the litsea cubeba oil, twisted the cap, and the aroma filled the air.

"Sour soup rice noodles, want some?"

Shen Qingci closed the notebook, stood up, and rolled up her sleeves.

"Use less chili."

"The first late-night snack in Fenghuang was quite particular."

Article 4 of the contract.

Chen Lang stopped holding the gas valve.

"When did these extras appear?"

"Just now."

"Who signed it?"

"Verbal agreement."

"Do I have the right to object?"

Shen Qingci walked to the sink and turned on the tap.

"turn down."

Water flowed into the bottom of the stainless steel trough, splashing with a soft sound.

She separated the greens into individual leaves, removed the tough stems, rinsed off the dirt and sand, and put them into a colander.

Chen Lang stood in front of the stove, his head down processing the cured meat.

"Okay, Party A will wash the vegetables, and Party B will cook the meal."

"Party B is also responsible for handling the aftermath."

"Is washing pots included in the contract?"

"You just agreed."

"I only said cooking."

"The pots and pans used for cooking are yours."

Chen Lang looked up.

"Mr. Shen, the contract is getting thicker and thicker. When I get it bound, could it be considered a travel souvenir?"

Shen Qingci put a piece of green vegetable into the basket.

"You can keep it to remind yourself to follow the rules every day."

Chen Lang chuckled and placed the cleaver on the cutting board.

The cured pork is sliced ​​thinly, and the blade glistens with oil as it falls.

The pickled green beans were chopped into small pieces, the garlic cloves were smashed, and the chili peppers were piled separately in a white porcelain dish.

Shen Qingci stood to the side with the drain basket in hand, her gaze sweeping over the dish containing the chili peppers.

"How much is this?"

"Half a spoonful".

"You just said to put in half less."

"Originally one spoonful."

"Is this how you calculate half of your property?"

"I'm just trying to save face for the Xiangxi cuisine."

Chen Lang turned on the gas valve.

Blue flames supported the bottom of the pot, and steam rose from the sides of the pot.

When the cured pork is put into the pot, the edges of the fat curl up, and the oil spreads along the bottom of the pot.

Minced garlic and pickled beans were added to the corner, and after a few stirs with the spatula, the aroma of sourness mixed with the fragrance of cured meat spread throughout the living quarters.

The levitating ball rose from the living room and flew above the kitchen.

The camera pans across the stove, dining table, and the upper bodies of the two people, while the windows, car doors, and center console screen automatically slide into the privacy area.

The metallic reflections on the cabinet doors were also removed by Titan, and no reference points outside the camp can be found in the scene.

[Safe filming completed.]

External environment information has been hidden.

[Live stream delay and privacy protection are now enabled.]

Chen Lang looked up at the floating sphere.

"Will this angle pass Mr. Shen's review?"

Shen Qingci looked at the preview screen.

The stove was neatly folded away, and only a corner of the dining table was visible.

The living quarters in the footage have no doors or windows facing the direction, nor any objects that could indicate the vehicle's location.

"Titans are less troublesome than you."

"If it follows you around, it will eventually have to learn to follow the rules."

"You learn it first."

"I'm already making progress."

Where is the progress?

"We didn't bring the entire internet to the camp entrance today."

Shen Qingci placed the drain basket on the table.

"Who was it that almost revealed their destination for tomorrow during the live stream?"

Chen Lang used a spatula to turn the cured meat over.

"That's the art of language."

"That was a near leak."

Pour the broth into the pot, and the noodles start to bubble.

The rice noodles slide into the soup, and long chopsticks are used to separate them along the edge of the pot. The red oil coats the white rice noodles, and the colors spread out layer by layer.

Chen Lang turned down the heat, picked up the bottle of Litsea cubeba oil, and put a few drops on the surface of the pot.

The aroma wafted out of the car through the ventilation vents.

In the camp's duty room, Shi Mancang was looking down at the south gate's surveillance camera.

A gust of wind slipped in through the window cracks, and he twitched his nostrils, looking up towards the heavy truck.

"What are those two kids doing in the middle of the night?"

The young security guard next to him had just taken two bites of instant noodles when his movements froze in mid-air.

"Uncle Shi, can you smell it?"

"Curved pork, pickled cowpeas, and Litsea cubeba oil."

The young security guard looked down at the braised beef noodles in the paper bucket, hovered his chopsticks for a few seconds, and then put them back on the lid.

"My instant noodles have suddenly lost their flavor."

Shi Mancang smiled and pushed open the window.

"They saved three people, what's wrong with them having a late-night snack?"

"I also want to save people."

"Finish your instant noodles first."

Inside the car, two bowls of sour rice noodles were placed on the table.

White rice noodles are soaked in a bright red broth, topped with slices of cured pork, and served with pickled cowpeas and greens along the edge of the bowl.

The hot air rose up and gathered into a thin mist in front of the suspended sphere lens.

Titan completed its final checks.

Privacy check passed.

[Live stream is now open.]

The indicator light on the floating ball lights up.

Within ten seconds of starting the broadcast, the number of online viewers exceeded 10,000.

Twenty seconds later, the number surpassed 100,000.

After parting ways at Baijia Courtyard, the grayed-out profile pictures gradually lit up, and fans from various platforms flooded into the live stream room.

The comment section is like a rising river, with lines of text crowding each other as they scroll upwards.

[We're live! Our first live stream since leaving Dali!]

[Brother Lang, don't eat yet, let's check if he's alright!]

I've watched the cliff rescue video over a dozen times; you can't even see the faces in the rain.

[Where's Qingci? The navigator should also let us know he's safe!]

[Is the car okay? Is the skateboard okay? But people are more important!]

[Please speak first, and we'll serve the late-night snack after you've confirmed everyone is safe!]

Chen Lang picked up a mouthful of rice noodles with his chopsticks and stopped in mid-air.

He turned halfway around in front of the hovering ball, stood up, stretched his arms in front of the camera and waved them, then kicked his legs.

"Everyone is here, and so are their arms and legs."

The screen was filled with comments.

[Brother Lang, are you just letting us know you're safe or going for a medical checkup?]

[The fact that he can still joke around means he's in good shape!]

[Qingci, say something quickly!]

Chen Lang sat down again.

"There was no live broadcast on the highway; the footage was taken by passersby and stranded drivers."

"I'm sorry to have troubled everyone along the way."

He picked up his water glass and held it up towards the camera.

Thanks.

"The rescued family of three also wants to let everyone know."

"News from the hospital says all three are out of danger."

"The child's leg injury is not serious, but the father needs surgery. The doctor said that after a period of recovery, there is hope that he can walk normally."

Shen Qingci sat on the other side of the dining table and nodded toward the camera.

We are all safe and sound.

The moment those five words were written, the flood of greetings stopped, and new comments began to pour in.

Now I can rest easy.

[Brother Lang, could you please leave a message for your fans before rescuing people in the future?]

[You just said goodbye at the Bai family's courtyard, and then plunged off a cliff. That trip was so thrilling!]

[The mission is complete! Now, shouldn't we release the rice noodle recipe?]

These two bowls look even more delicious than my dinner.

[Brother Lang, don't just hold up your water glass, show us the cured meat!]

Chen Lang lowered his head and took a sip of rice noodles.

The sound of the soup bubbling came through the microphone, and the chopsticks made a sound as they touched the rim of the bowl.

A row of protests appeared in the comments section.

[Report late-night food delivery!]

This cured pork is sliced ​​way too thinly!

[Qingci, you need to do something about him!]

I was just worried about people, but now I'm starting to get hungry.

Shen Qingci picked up a small pinch of rice noodles, blew on it to cool it down, and took a bite.

Chen Lang looked over.

"How does it taste?"

"hot."

"You only said it was spicy?"

"good."

"That's what makes it delicious."

"I didn't say that."

"Got it, navigators always have to be roundabout when praising people."

Shen Qingci ignored him and picked up another piece of food with her chopsticks.

[Qingci has taken her second bite!]

She said it was alright, that she could continue doing it.

[Brother Lang has mastered the navigator's linguistic code.]

[These two eating together is more interesting than a cliff rescue!]

Discussions about high-speed rescue filled the screen.

[I knew the guy in the video was Lang Ge! I recognized him even through the rain—that windbreaker, that pose standing on the cliff edge.]

[Someone's here at the skateboarding area! What model is Lang Ge's skateboard?]

[I watched the cliff rappelling video at 0.25x speed seven times. The slabs continuously passed over loose rocks in the drainage ditch, and the tail of the slab never wobbled even once.]

[He'd been practicing in the skateboarding club for six years, and a regular longboard would just slide sideways on that kind of mud. Before entering a turn, he lowered his center of gravity, and upon exiting the turn, he used the rebound to compensate for the speed difference, keeping the entire board close to the designated path.]

The part where he carries two people uphill is truly absurd. A double load would amplify the turning inertia, and he had to correct for each blade change in advance.

Our coach's first words after watching the timeout replay were: "Don't copy this."

[While flying over the fault line, he tucked his knees in mid-air to adjust the board's nose, and before landing, he readjusted the board to the slope line.]

[The key point is that board! It doesn't look like a regular board; the wheelset seems to have a drive mechanism!]

This level of grip and stability is definitely not typical of skateboards on the market. What's the model number?

[Brother Lang, hand over the link!]

Chen Lang picked up a piece of cured meat and waved it in front of the camera.

"I don't have a link, but I can send you a copy of the orthopedic appointment guide."

"If you fall down on flat ground, that's just a hobby."

"If someone falls off a cliff, their family has to sit down and discuss the consequences."

He put the cured meat in his mouth and gestured with his chin toward the comments section.

"The one who practiced for six years just now gave a very professional analysis."

"Next time you watch a slow-motion video, remember to check my shoelaces."

The comments section paused for a moment.

What's wrong with my shoelaces?

[Could it really not have been fastened properly?]

[Brother Lang, don't tell me your shoelaces were loose when you were carrying people uphill.]

"It wasn't tied tightly when it landed."

Chen Lang swallowed the cured meat.

"Don't try to imitate this; even experts make mistakes."

"If you accidentally spun your shoelaces into the wheels, tomorrow's headline will have to be changed to 'Anchor leads people down a slope, and they all tumble down the mountain three seconds later.'"

[He admitted it! It really is Brother Lang!]

[A shoelace not tied can still save a life, and you call that a mistake?]

[Requesting live video tutorial in the skateboarding area!]

What will you teach? Will you teach everyone how to get to the hospital emergency room?

This board is even more outrageous than a car! How can I buy it?

Shen Qingci picked up the soup bowl and took a sip.

The spiciness rushed up her nose, so she put down the bowl and took out a tissue to pat her nose a couple of times.

The nasal tone was a bit too strong.

"I told you to use less chili."

"It's already been halved."

"Your half is diluted with water."

"If you reduce the amount any more, it will become clear broth rice noodles."

"Even clear broth is edible."

"The people of western Hunan will not agree."

Shen Qingci looked up.

"Then you can eat it yourself next time."

Chen Lang picked up a piece of green vegetable.

"Article 4 of the contract stipulates that Party B needs to cater to Party A's tastes."

"They just said it was a verbal agreement."

"Verbal terms are equally valid."

The comments section was filled with laughter.

[Navigator is now online!]

[Someone thanks their fans in just two sentences, but can argue with Qingci all night long.]

[Qingci, check his shoelaces!]

Don't forget to rest after eating; the rescue videos made my legs weak.

Are you going to Hongqiao tomorrow? I've already booked a guesthouse nearby.

[There were also people staking out the area on Dongzheng Street.]

[Meet at 6:00 AM at the North Gate Wharf; local residents of Fenghuang should report for duty.]

Chen Lang picked up the bowl, took a sip of soup, and then the bottom of the bowl fell back onto the table.

"Thank you everyone for your concern. I've already praised the skateboard, so I won't bother with team formation."

"Go to bed early tonight, and don't come to the campsite and block the entrance."

"You can line up to meet fans, but if you block a fire lane, you'll have to line up at the police station."

Someone in the comments section asked a follow-up question.

What time do we leave tomorrow?

[A timeframe would also be helpful!]

Morning or afternoon?

[Hongqiao, Dongzheng Street, Beimen Wharf—you have to go to at least one, right?]
