Chapter 21

Su Xingyao was delayed for some time while everyone took a group photo, and when he came out it was already completely dark.

At this time, in the huge square outside the "Sound of Nature" building, there were already seven or eight square dance formations with dozens of people, each playing different music and dancing enthusiastically.

Around the large group of square dancers, there were also many parents bringing their children to play.

There was noisy singing in her ears, but Su Xingyao couldn't hear a single word of the lyrics.

But such a strong breath of life made him stop involuntarily.

It seems like I’m back to the days when I used to go out to set up stalls with my sister at night.

In addition to the night market, they also set up a small stall in this lively square, with two people sitting on a small stool, and the same lively and noisy singing can be heard in your ears.

After standing in the shade of a tree and watching the crowd in the square for a while, Su Xingyao took out his cell phone to check what time it was.

However, after he pressed the power button several times, the phone did not respond.

He then noticed that his cell phone was out of battery...

Could it be that when I handed over my phone, I was so busy reading the messages sent by Lu Jiuxu that I forgot to turn it off?

Su Xingyao looked around.

The location of the "Sound of Nature" building is not remote, but it is not in the downtown area either.

It's far from the subway station, so you can only take a taxi to go back.

His cell phone is out of battery now, so he can't even call a taxi.

Su Xingyao helplessly put her hands into the hidden bag of the doll costume.

Well, there's not a penny in it...

For those who are used to paying with mobile phones and not carrying cash when going out, it is really difficult to deal with the situation when the mobile phone is out of power and they don’t bring a charger.

Su Xingyao looked around and finally decided to go back to the "Sound of Nature" building to ask the staff for help.

However, he had only walked two or three meters when he was suddenly stopped in an empty corner.

"Heybro!"

"Brother Cat, please stay a step!"

Su Xingyao, who was walking with her head down, suddenly heard two raps in her ears.

He quickly raised his head and found that his way was blocked by two frogs.

To be exact, two people wearing identical frog doll costumes were standing in front of him, one on the left and one on the right.

One of the two frogs put his hands on his hips and raised his chin high.

The other one was carrying a string of frogs, with its right foot stretched out in front of it.

Su Xingyao stared at the two frogs in a daze. The cat put its paws together and looked to the left and then to the right.

Then he followed the other person's tune and said, "Heybro, I can't rap~"

As soon as Su Xingyao opened her mouth, the two frogmen, who had been looking so cool that they had no friends, were immediately amused and started twisting their bodies in small steps.

Then the frog on the right performed a street dance on the spot.

He continued to rap while dancing.

"Heybor, it doesn't matter, you can just watch me dance."

After the frog on the right finished jumping, the frog on the left also jumped up.

"Brother Mao Mao, please be the referee and tell me who is the brightest one among us on this street."

Both of them have young voices and sound like college students.

After they started rapping, they freestyled one after another.

Su Xingyao understood after listening for a while.

It turned out that the two frog mothers had a dispute over selling their "children" at the same place. Neither of them was willing to give in to the other, so they wanted to use their talents to see who was the prettiest frog here.

And because he was also wearing an animal headgear, he was pulled in to be the referee.

Although it seemed a bit nonsensical, Su Xingyao found them very interesting and did not rush to leave.

After watching the two people's performance for a while, Su Xingyao also joined in very cooperatively, and then clapped for the frog on the left.

"Thai pants hot!"

Seeing this, the frog on the right immediately did a not-so-standard Thomas spin.

"What about me?"

Su Xingyao quickly raised her hands and gave him a cat paw, "He's so handsome that he has no friends."

With Su Xingyao's cooperation, the two frogs became more devoted in their performance.

However, although they seemed to be arguing with each other all the time, they obviously knew each other underneath.

After having enough fun PK in front of Su Xingyao for a while, they decided to continue to compete tomorrow.

The two frog mothers finished their work quickly and came back to Su Xingyao carrying their frog babies.

The two extended a sincere invitation to him, "Brother Mao Mao, will you come and play with us tomorrow?"

Su Xingyao really wanted to come, but he had an agreement with the program crew, so he waved his cat paw regretfully.

"Tomorrow I'm going to take my son to travel around the world."

The frog on the right felt very disappointed when he heard the star's words. He covered his face with his gloves, looking as if the sky was falling.

“That’s such a shame TAT”

After saying that, he immediately stuffed an inflatable frog into Su Xingyao's hand.

"Since you can't come, why don't you take my kid to travel around the world as well."

The frog on the left is obviously a competitive person who never gives up in his life.

Seeing that his opponent gave a frog to Su Xingyao, he immediately hung the only inflatable turtle in his hand on his claws.

"Have a nice trip. Let my Prime Minister Turtle escort you."

After each of them gave their gifts, the two frogs domineeringly told Su Xingyao not to refuse, then they hugged each other's shoulders, carried their unsold "children" and left quickly without recognizing any relatives.

Su Xingyao looked at the two little animals that appeared inexplicably in her hands and found them a bit funny and interesting.

The two frogs had disappeared, so he could only carry a small animal in each hand and walk back to the building.

It was getting a bit late.

In just a few moments, the crowd that had been dancing in the square had almost dispersed.

Su Xingyao walked across the square and heard a familiar voice as soon as she crossed the road.

"Coral Cat."

Su Xingyao stopped and looked in the direction of the sound in surprise.

Lu Jiuxu stood under the street light. In the night, his face was indescribably handsome.

Su Xingyao was a little surprised.

After several seconds, he finally realized what was happening and walked towards the other person. "Why are you here?"

How could the other party appear here at this time...

Lu Jiuxu looked into Su Xingyao's eyes through the doll costume and spoke slowly.

"I'm here to pick you up."

Su Xingyao's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Was it because of me that I came here?

As if knowing what Su Xingyao was thinking, Lu Jiuxu walked over to him.

"I called you but your phone was always turned off. I happened to be here talking about something, so I stopped by to see you."

His eyes swept across the two inflatable toys in Su Xingyao's hands and he smiled softly, "I didn't expect to meet you just after I got off the bus."

Su Xingyao finally realized that Lu Jiuxu really came for her, so she quickly patted her bag, touched the phone inside and explained to him, "Sorry, my phone is out of battery."

Speaking of the dead cell phone, Su Xingyao finally remembered.

He couldn’t get through to his cell phone at all, if it weren’t for his luck he and Lu Jiuxu would have run into each other here.

Wouldn’t the other party’s trip be in vain?

But even though I know there is a high possibility that I won’t meet him this time because I can’t contact him.

But Lu Jiuxu still came.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu."

Su Xingyao looked at Lu Jiuxu, her light-colored eyes beneath her doll costume revealing an emotion she couldn't hide.

Lu Jiuxu didn't say anything, nor did he explain why he went out of his way to pick up Su Xingyao. He just pointed Su Xingyao in a direction.

"My car is parked over there."

After saying that, he took Su Xingyao to the parking lot.

After getting in the car, Su Xingyao discovered that Lu Jiuxu came alone and did not bring a driver.

The other party let him sit in the co-pilot seat, and placed his frog and turtle on the back seat, one on the right and one on the right.

Su Xingyao looked a little clumsy when riding in the car because of her doll costume.

While he was fastening his seat belt, he heard Lu Jiuxu asking him.

“Am I driving an animal bus?”

Su Xingyao stopped and looked back at the turtle and the frog, then looked at her cat's paw.

"No, you drive a cute animal car."

He then introduced them to Lu Jiuxu, "These are two little animals given to me by two frog mothers I met by chance."

Perhaps because she remembered the happy scene just now, Su Xingyao's voice was much more cheerful than usual, and she talked more than usual.

When Lu Jiuxu listened to his voice, a hint of smile appeared in his eyes.

Su Xingyao was in a really good mood today. She sat in the car and looked at the scenery outside the window for a while, and many inspirations kept popping up in her mind.

He took the phone that had been charged in Lu Jiuxu's car, took off his cat gloves, quickly opened the memo, and hurriedly wrote down the lyrics he thought of.

Looking at these lyrics, a few more suitable tunes unconsciously popped up in his mind.

So he was so immersed in it that he began to hum quietly.

Lu Jiuxu listened to this unfamiliar but pleasant song. After braking at a red light, he turned his head and quietly became Su Xingyao's first listener.

This was the first time he saw Su Xingyao so real.

Very focused, but very cute.

When Su Xingyao was writing a song with her head down, a car stopped next to them outside the window.

Because the red light lasted for quite a long time, Su Xingyao raised her head once.

His peripheral vision passed by the car next to him, but he didn't pay much attention.

When the green light came on and the car drove away first, he felt that the car seemed a little familiar.

It looks a bit like Qin Mingchuan's car.

However, this thought came into Su Xingyao's mind only because of conditioned reflex.

He was too lazy to confirm it, nor did he look up again. Instead, he tilted his head slightly and secretly glanced at Lu Jiuxu who was driving seriously.

At this moment, his heart felt more peaceful and relaxed than ever before.

The building of "The Voice of Nature" is quite a distance away from Lu Jiuxu's villa.

It was already late at night when the two returned home.

As soon as Su Xingyao got home, she took off her doll costume.

Although this was a doll costume specially customized for him and the material was not as stuffy as ordinary doll costumes, he still felt a little dizzy after wearing it for a whole day.

After saying good night to Lu Jiu, he took a quick shower and went upstairs to sleep.

When I woke up the next day, it was already bright.

Maybe he was too tired yesterday, so he got up a little late today.

When I went downstairs, I found that Lu Zhiyun had arrived without me noticing when.

At this moment, he was leaning on the sofa, holding his mobile phone, laughing happily, and watching the video with great concentration.

Su Xingyao looked in his direction.

Lu Zhiyun held the phone and smiled. Su Xingyao didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

The other person's personality is naturally like this, and he can always be easily amused by the little things around him.

But what surprised him was that the usually dignified Lu Jiuxu was actually standing behind Lu Zhiyun at this moment, and even leaned over to watch the video with him.

His face was full of smiles.

Before Su Xingyao had time to wonder what the two brothers were looking at with such joy, the sharp-eyed Lu Zhiyun saw him first.

"Susu, come here quickly. I'll show you a fun video."

When Lu Zhiyun hurriedly called Su Xingyao, Lu Jiuxu also stood up and looked at him with a smile.

Fun video?

Su Xingyao walked over puzzledly, got close to Lu Jiuxu, and looked down at Lu Zhiyun's phone.

In the video played by the other party, a cat and two frogs were interacting vigorously.

The passers-by who took the photos were thoughtful enough to add captions to the photos.

"A very cute cat plays the role of a master of keeping things balanced online."

When the cat clapped and gave the two frogs a thumbs up, the other party continued to type another line of words.

"Mao Mao is indeed the number one supporter. Even clapping is so cute."

The moment Su Xingyao saw the video clearly, the expression on her face froze.

This picture...

Why...it looks so familiar...

Lu Zhiyun, who was completely unaware of the situation, even pressed the pause button and pointed at the cat doll on it and said to Su Xingyao.

"Look at this cat, doesn't it look a lot like our coral?"

Coral, who was cueed by Lu Zhiyun, meowed on the sofa opposite.

Su Xingyao, who was standing behind, looked at Shanhu, speechless for a moment.

Um……

This cat doll costume not only looks similar.

They are exactly the same...

Su Xingyao, who was completely out of state, never thought that he just interacted with the frog mothers last night, but someone filmed a video and posted it online, and suddenly he became popular.

Less than seven hours after the video was posted, it had already received over a million likes and quickly became a hot topic on the short video search trend.

The comments under the video are almost all "hahahahahahaha", so cute.

At first, everyone was attracted by two funny frogs.

But after watching the video, almost everyone was deeply attracted by the cat's perfect cooperation with the frog mother.

After all, no one can resist the temptation of cute cats!

How can every action of it be so cute?

[I really want to take the cat home, woooooooo]

[I love Wang Mao Mao so much]

[Woo woo woo, this cat's fur looks so good to rub]

[It turns out that you can also use this method to pet cats QWQ]

[Ahhh, it's so cute. I'm going crazy. Where can I buy the same doll clothes as this cat? Give me a link. I want to buy one.]

[Sister upstairs, I have been looking for it all night, and there is no similar one on the entire Internet QWQ, just feel free to watch cats in this video]

Lu Zhiyun was obviously in sync with the netizens' brain waves. He even took a screenshot and searched the internet for image recognition.

"I also want to buy a set of this doll costume to wear."

Looking at Lu Zhiyun's longing expression.

Su Xingyao turned her head and looked at Lu Jiuxu, and finally understood why he smiled so happily when he saw her just now.

After Lu Zhiyun failed to identify the picture and found that there was really no similar model for sale, his eyes fell on the inflatable frog and inflatable turtle placed next to the coral.

Feeling that they looked familiar, he immediately took them in his hands curiously.

"Isn't this something that only children like to play with? How come you have this at home..."

Lu Jiuxu did not answer, but looked at Su Xingyao with a smile and asked him in a low voice.

"What were those two frogs doing?"

Su Xingyao: ...

"They are fighting for the title of King of Frogs..."

*

This video of the frog mother and the cute cat was very popular on the short video platform, and received more than 10 million likes in just a few days.

The cat played by Su Xingyao suddenly became a popular "Internet celebrity" in a strange way.

However, what Su Xingyao did not expect was that before his video became popular, it was soon on the hot search list of netizens in another more bizarre way.

After the recording of the first episode of "The Voice of China" was completed, the program crew edited the first episode very quickly due to the unremitting efforts of the post-production staff.

This program has been pre-heated on the Internet for a long time and has always been a hot topic.

As a result, as soon as the first episode was released, the number of clicks exceeded 10 million within a few hours.

The program team is also well versed in the routine, and created an extremely Shura-like and tragic atmosphere in the first episode.

The audience soon realized that they had followed the show for most of the time, but in the end they didn’t see a single contestant advance.

I have to say that the fact that no one advanced really controlled the audience's emotions. When everyone was watching, they were all worried for the contestants because of the tense and exciting competition for the pass cards.

However, although everyone's emotions were controlled by the program crew, the viewers were still very confident that the program crew edited the program like this just for effect.

The technique of first criticizing and then praising is very common. In the second half or at the end of the program, a clip of a qualified contestant will definitely be released.

Therefore, netizens with this mentality will continue to read on with peace of mind, looking forward to the first qualifying spot appearing.

However, they never expected that they guessed the beginning but not the ending.

The program team did as they imagined and played videos of the finalists singing.

However, they only released one sentence.

When the first sentence of "Goodbye Yesterday" reached the audience's ears, it immediately captured everyone's hearts.

Almost everyone who heard this passage had the first thought that this person must be in trouble.

Just when everyone reached this consensus and looked down eagerly to find out which contestant he was.

But I suddenly realized that the show had come to an end.

No matter how they dragged the screen, the progress bar was stuck and didn't move.

The first episode of "The Voice of China" came to an abrupt end without any warning.

The program was very willful in not letting the audience hear the entire song, nor showing any footage of the singing.

They didn't even reveal the other person's number.

Netizens were shocked by this move, and the barrage of comments instantly exploded.

[Fuck, just one sentence??? Just let me hear one sentence???]

[This is a way of ending that I never thought of...]

[Who among my family members can understand this? This feeling of being neither up nor down makes me lose my mind...]

[This is the first time in the history of domestic entertainment that only one sentence is heard... Song Yingming, you are worthy of it]

[Okay, Song Yingming, I admit that you are the number one variety show director in the domestic entertainment industry. Please show me the rest of the show quickly!!!]

[I have never had good food since I was a child. I finally got to hear the music of the gods, but now I can’t even see who the gods are. I can only go crazy in front of the black screen. I am crazy, I am really going crazy. If you don’t show me the next episode, I will really go crazy.]

But no matter how crazy they get, the video ends with a sentence: "Who will be the first to qualify? Stay tuned next Saturday."

Seeing this familiar subtitle, the audience felt like they were being driven crazy by this crappy show.
