That evening, Song Shi'an and Lin Fan packed their things and returned to Capital. As soon as he got home, he collapsed onto his bed and slept soundly until the afternoon of the next day.
He picked up his phone and saw that his salary had been deposited into his account. He was overjoyed and ordered milk tea and barbecue!
Fingers tapped away on the screen, and milk tea, barbecue, fried chicken, crayfish—eighteen riders were ready!
As the takeout orders arrived one after another, he set up a table on the coffee table in the living room, turned on the TV—which he had only turned on once since moving in—and planned to eat and watch.
After searching for ages, all the TVs require a membership... What's the point of having this TV?!
I reluctantly subscribed to a one-month membership and started watching cartoons.
At 8 PM, the first episode of the third season of " The Countryside Never Closes " officially premiered.
Many netizens rushed in as soon as possible to be the first to comment. At the beginning, the scene showed the guests setting off in the car to their destination, with comments scrolling by.
" Duoduo is still so cute!"
" Sister Yan is still so quiet, hahaha!"
"Doesn't anyone think she's being pretentious? Duoduo is talking to her, and she's acting like she's ignoring her."
"Where is this? The scenery is really beautiful; it's a great place to retire."
When the two got off the bus, Xia Xingduo, carrying bulging bags, asked for help, and the comments section was filled with "cute." Su Yan's helpless acceptance of the bags was described as "spoiling her."
"Who said they don't get along? They're doing great!"
" Sister Su is ruthless but doesn't talk much, she's a very good person, that's what many people who have worked with her say."
Until the camera panned, and the person who had been facing away from the camera turned around.
The entrance was accompanied by dazzling special effects and sound effects, creating a truly spectacular opening sequence, complete with close-ups of Xia Xingduo and Su Yan's stunned expressions.
"Holy crap! Why wasn't this mentioned in the guest introductions?!"
"It's actually the owner NPC of this year's cottage!"
"That's hilarious! Duoduo was trying to talk to him, but Song Shi'an just walked away, hahaha!"
"This person looks a lot like Qu Lingzhou from the recent hit movie."
"This confirms that the previous 'watching the show but not the person' story is the same person; it's just that her facial features aren't as defined after makeup."
"God's father's facial folds..."
Everything was fine until Song Shi'an raised his knife and demonstrated what a master chef's style was.
The two actors, a movie star and a movie queen, stared at the stove like two children, swallowing their saliva. After being discovered, Mo Heng kept stuffing firewood into the stove, and the fire almost spread outside the stove.
"How come I never realized this old man could be so humorous? Hahahaha!"
" Teacher He is amazing, the contrast is incredible!"
"The one I've been watching cooking is truly a feast for the eyes."
"I was eating when suddenly my dinner didn't taste so good anymore. I want to eat braised pork too!"
"Ah (opens mouth)! Put it in my mouth! I want to eat it!"
The most hilarious part was when they showed Lu Yang falling into the ditch, and the scene where he was covered in mud and leading his dog back home was absolutely hilarious. His blinking eyes and eight teeth were even made into a GIF with the caption, "Mom! I'm back from my mischief!"
Later, when they gathered together to eat, the comments section was filled with hungry ghosts chasing after them.
"I'm here. Where should I tie it? Can I tie it with Big Yellow? And please, two extra pieces of that braised pork, please!"
"Holy crap! I was here first! Don't you know the rules?!"
"You guys are quite polite, huh? Unlike me, I just charge forward and tear into you!"
The nearly two-hour variety show has finished airing, and the latest episode immediately became a trending topic.
One amazing picture after another appeared, with fans posting images of Song Shi'an cooking in the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up on Weibo.
I'm having such vivid fantasies about Su Wenli cooking!
"Lady upstairs, aren't you afraid he's grilling human steaks behind your back...?"
"After talking about it for so long, An'an has really developed a lot of skills. He can play ball, ski, shoot arrows, act, and cook. I'm the same age as him, and all I can do is 'Aba Aba'."
"Just how many skills are there that we don't know about?!"
Song Shi'an was still grinning foolishly, munching on a kebab while watching cartoons.
His phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID— Ji Shuyao —and immediately wilted. It must be work.
He turned on the speakerphone and lazily said "hello".
Ji Shuyao's voice came through. "What, is it that every time I get a call from you, it's a work signal?"
Song Shi'an pursed his lips, "Of course," but said aloud, "No way, Brother Yao, have you had dinner yet? Why don't you come over and grab something?"
"No, thank you," Ji Shuyao said. "I just wanted to tell you that ' The Number One Winner ' has been nominated for the Haicheng International Film Festival. We're going to attend on the 8th of next month. This is your first film to be nominated for the Golden Goblet Award, so show some backbone!"
Song Shi'an was a little confused. Although he was now an actor, he knew nothing about film awards. "Is this award very prestigious?"
Ji Shuyao took off his glasses and rubbed his temples. "Second only to the Golden Rooster Award."
Song Shi'an said "Oh" twice. "I understand, but I'm not the main character, so I have to go too?"
Ji Shuyao wished he could reach through the screen. Couldn't this guy have any self-awareness? His popularity was almost higher than the male lead's, and he still thought he was some kind of little Karami.
He calmed himself down and said, "Of course I'll go. I have other awards to judge. I need to watch my diet and not look puffy on the red carpet."
Song Shi'an agreed verbally, and as soon as he hung up the phone, he threw the freshly peeled shrimp into his mouth. It smelled so good!
Watching the car sales ads interspersed during the animated series, he suddenly wondered if he should enroll in driving school. Thinking about the four million yuan in his bank account, he realized it probably wouldn't be enough to buy a luxury car...
He sighed. The task ahead was arduous and the road ahead was long. He roughly calculated that he had already completed nearly a third of the cannon fodder mission. It had only been half a year, and the mission was almost over!
I returned to school early the next morning, following the usual routine of going between the teaching building, the film studio, and the dormitory.
I wasn't notified of the physical exam until Friday night. Good grief, I still couldn't escape it, huh? I booked the exam that very night...
Jiang Ye woke her up before she was fully awake. "Time to get up, Chi Xun ahead."
Song Shi'an stretched a hand out from under the covers and waved it. "Okay." He rolled over, stayed in bed for another five minutes, and then resignedly got out of bed.
He changed into a simple set of sportswear and headed towards the playground. Along the way, students recognized him and took photos with their phones.
Song Shi'an zipped his jacket all the way up, burying half his face in his collar, his only thought being to finish quickly and get some rest.
I finally managed to find an excuse to give myself a break this weekend, but now I still have to come for a physical fitness test.
He comforted himself as he walked, thinking that he would be free after the test, and his steps became lighter.
Upon arriving at the destination, Song Shi'an saw a long line of people ahead of him and took out his phone to pass the time.
He opened his WeChat Moments and saw a photo of Old Pei's three kittens. They'd grown so much in just a few months! So cute! He gave it a big thumbs up.
At this moment, Mother Song sent him several messages. He opened them and read, "Son! These past few days, a lot of people from out of town have suddenly come to buy fermented tofu. Your dad and I have been busy for most of the day. [Images][Images]"
