My abstract plant was exposed by my sister.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Director Wang arrived at the scene with more than a dozen volunteers.

He stood at the door, gave a few simple instructions, and everyone started to get busy, setting up cordon lines, placing signs, and inspecting the medical vehicle.

Director Wang picked up the disclaimer on the table again and looked it over. Only after confirming that there were no problems did he breathe a sigh of relief.

As time went by, a crowd gradually formed at the entrance.

Although we can't go inside yet, the giant mushroom, which is over ten meters tall, far exceeds the wall and can be clearly seen from the outside.

People took photos and whispered among themselves. Every now and then, someone would point at the mushroom and exclaim, "Wow, it's so big!" or "It's like an umbrella!" And a child would ask, "Will it grow to the sky?"

The street vendors have already started getting busy.

The vendors selling snacks, water, and hats lined up in a row.

Xiao Kui got up very early, washed up as quickly as possible, and began her stall business.

She brought out all the things she had prepared in advance, sorted them out, and arranged them according to the labels.

The chat exploded:

"Xiao Kui looks so energetic today!"

"Wait for me, I'll be there soon!"

"Check in on-site".

Grandpa Wang was holding a bunch of white lilies, which were still covered in dew.

Wang Fang pushed the wheelchair; they had arrived early.

Grandpa Wang hadn't slept all night; his eyes were a little red, but he was in good spirits. He stood at the door, gazing at the bamboo grove in the distance, without saying a word.

Zhang Baojun and his wife, along with his father, were still shopping and eating in Chengdu.

Knowing that they were going to see giant mushrooms today, the old father said with great disdain, "What's so interesting about mushrooms? I used to go mushroom picking in the forest all the time when I was young."

Zhang Baojun's wife asked softly, "Aren't we going over there yet?"

Zhang Baojun shook his head: "Let's talk about it after Dad has eaten. If what happened in the bamboo forest is true, he definitely won't be in the mood to eat then."

He's not in good health, and I'm worried he'll have problems if he doesn't eat.

The wife nodded gently.

Liu Xudong sat by the door, with a loudspeaker next to him playing a repeated announcement of important notices:

"Dear tourists, please line up properly and do not crowd."

You must sign a waiver first; you won't be allowed in if you don't sign.

People with heart disease or high blood pressure should not consume this product.

The elderly person must be accompanied by a family member. A mobile medical vehicle is available nearby; please contact volunteers immediately if you encounter any problems.

Director Wang glanced at the people in line and frowned. There were quite a few elderly people; those using canes, those in wheelchairs, and those being helped by their children made up almost half of them.

He turned to the staff and said, "Bring a few more chairs and put them next to the entrance. The elderly can't stand for long periods of time."

At eight o'clock in the morning, the door opened.

As soon as the door opened, the people queuing to enter automatically split into three lines.

The first group headed straight for the giant mushroom. Under the giant umbrella that was more than ten meters high, people took out all kinds of equipment to take photos and videos, including selfie sticks, DSLRs, and mobile phones. They used everything they could.

Some people even brought drones to fly up and photograph the mushroom caps, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

The second group headed straight for Xiao Kui's stall. Most of them were fans from the live stream. When they saw Xiao Kui, they rushed over shouting "Xiao Kui, Xiao Kui".

The third group headed directly towards the bamboo forest, with Grandpa Wang and Wang Fang at the front.

Grandpa Wang carried the bouquet of lilies, walking slowly, with Wang Fang pushing his wheelchair behind him.

Xiao Kui sat in front of her stall, livestreaming.

The guy with the middle finger is on the left. He's in a good mood today and even made a heart shape with his hands towards the camera.

Screaming Sister was on the right, quiet and still, while Ye Zi was lying down, as if she hadn't woken up yet.

Big Orange has disappeared somewhere. I wanted it to come out and greet the guests, but I couldn't find it after searching around.

Just then, a figure at the front of the group rushed towards Xiao Kui.

She moved quickly, her skirt fluttering, her long hair flowing.

Xiao Kui pointed the camera at the newcomers and said with a smile, "They're here! Mu Kui's stall is officially open for business!"

A young lady dressed in Hanfu arrived. She wore a light pink Ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) with peach blossoms embroidered on it.

Her hair was tied up in a bun, adorned with a jade hairpin, and her face was lightly made up, with exquisitely beautiful eyebrows and eyes.

The live stream chat was instantly flooded with comments:

"So beautiful!"

"I love it!"

"This is my wife!"

"A fairy has descended to earth!"

Xiao Kui exclaimed in amazement, "So beautiful!"

Then the person spoke up: "Sister Xiaokui, I'm so glad to finally meet you."

The sound was rough and deep, like sandpaper rubbing against sheet metal.

Xiao Kui's smile froze on her face, and her lips twitched: "Ma... a man?"

The other person nodded, smiling broadly.

"Yes, my name is Qianrou, I'm a fan of yours, and I came here today specifically for Huangdou."

His voice and his face didn't match at all.

Xiao Kui's lips twitched again.

The guy next to me who was holding the middle finger originally saw a pretty girl making a heart shape with her hands.

Upon hearing that sound, the finger making a heart shape suddenly stopped, and then slowly and firmly changed to the middle finger.

The chat exploded:

"Boy?"

Holy crap!

"I don't believe it!"

"Upstairs, your wife is here, go greet her."

"Middle Finger Guy: You scared me to death, I despise you."

Looking at his exquisite face, which surpassed the looks of 99% of internet celebrities, and listening to his rough, loud voice, Xiao Kui felt something was off all over her body.

She quickly pulled a small cloth bag from the basket, poured out a soybean, and handed it over, her tone almost pleading:

"Please, don't say anything, just eat this soybean."

When Qianrou saw Huangdou, his eyes lit up. He had come here today specifically for Huangdou.

He took the soybeans: "Thank you, Sister Xiaokui."

After saying that, he stuffed it directly into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.

A dozen or so fans had already gathered around, all waiting to see the results. Several cameras were turned on and pointed at Qianrou's face.

The number of viewers in the live stream surged from three million to five million, and the barrage of comments was so dense that it was impossible to see clearly.

A short while later, Qian Rou opened his mouth, then closed it again. He cleared his throat and spoke once more:

"Sister Xiaokui, is this okay?" The voice was clear, melodious, gentle, and lively.

He was a completely different person from his previous loud and boisterous voice.

A boy holding up his phone who was watching nearby couldn't help but swear:

"Holy crap, that's amazing?"

The live stream audience was stunned:

"The voice has changed!"

"Things have really changed!"

"This is amazing!"

"I want to buy soybeans! I'll pay any price!"

Xiao Kui nodded in satisfaction: "That's right."

The guy next to her, who was giving her the middle finger, looked completely bewildered.

The fingers kept switching between raising the middle finger and making a heart shape, raising it once, making a heart shape once, raising it once, making a heart shape once, like a bug was being exploited.

Qianrou leaned closer and smiled at the guy with the middle finger: "Thank you for welcoming me earlier."

The middle finger paused in mid-air, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly made a heart shape with his fingers.

Then she quickly switched back to her middle finger.

The comments section was bursting with laughter: "Middle Finger Guy is conflicted."

"It wants to welcome you, but it's too shy."

"Middle Finger Guy: I admit you're good-looking, but I'm still going to insult you."

Qianrou waved at Xiaokui's camera and said gently, "Family, soybeans really worked. I can speak normally now."

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Kui and asked, "Sister Xiao Kui, how much do soybeans cost?"

Xiao Kui pointed to the label next to her: "A bag costs 3 yuan, and there are three pieces inside."

Upon hearing this, Qianrou immediately asked, "I want ten bags, no, twenty bags."

Xiao Kui immediately refused: "This is a perk for today. Each person can only buy one bag. Consider the one you just bought as a gift."

"All right."

Qianrou knew that the price was practically free, so she took another Buddhist-style sachet and paid for it readily.
