Chapter 47 Arrange for you to meet

It is said that things come together when there is profit, and they disperse when there is no profit. Xue Chen's fans already hated those CP fans, and now that they were ranked last, they instantly felt disgust and hatred towards them.

Calling them "being kicked in the head by a donkey" was considered a light punishment. He then directly cursed their parents and ancestors, and also scolded Shen Siyan.

Yao Cancan finally couldn't stand it anymore and picked up the keyboard to fight back. When she was cursing, she was thinking, what's the point of promoting this CP? The other party's fans are so uncultured, they will suffer in the future. But when I calmed down, I knew I had to keep going.

Because fans fighting each other is also a means to tie up artists and raise their profile, and it is very effective.

After getting first place, Gao Shule's group received a lot of supplies. At noon, she prepared a sumptuous "meal" for Luo. Lu Lu looked at the pile of ingredients and said, "We got first place! We have to invite everyone to our house for dinner."

Gao Luo heard this and asked her, "Do you want to help? Cooking for twelve people is very tiring."

Hearing this, Lu Lu immediately shook her head, "I can't cook."

Then what are you talking about, Gao Luo complained.

Gao Luo pointed to two boxes of kiwis in the corner and said, "You can share these with everyone. I heard they are local specialties. Forget about inviting them to dinner. Lele is not a professional restaurant owner. Cooking for twelve people is exhausting."

Lu Lu said reluctantly, "Okay~"

Lu Lu found a plastic bag and put the kiwis into it. It is more convenient to hold this way.

After she left, Gao Shule said to A'Luo, "Don't call the others, call Xia Shi. After all, he let us stay in his house a few days ago, so we should thank him."

Gao Luo said "OK", then slowly walked outside to the curved corridor and shouted to the next door: "Xiao Nian!"

Xiaonian immediately poked his head out from the door.

Gao Luo: "Call your brother to come over here for dinner later."

Xiao Nian replied just as loudly: "Okay!"

Gao Shule was chopping pork ribs. She used the kitchen knife to chop hard on the chopping board. The "bang, bang, bang" sound scared the netizens in the live broadcast room.

[The program crew didn’t even know to chop it up and send it over! 】

[Don’t mention it, although Gao Shule looks thin and weak, she is surprisingly strong. 】

[Yesterday she was the beautiful and charming White Snake, today she is the strong and powerful young cook. This sister can really do everything, but she doesn’t talk much, so she wants to go with Luo. 】

[Little A'Luo is eloquent, but weak and can't even use a walking stick. 】

Gao Luo had been using crutches to walk for the past few days, but after a few days, the pain in her armpits became unbearable. Later, when Gao Shule couldn't see her, she just walked on the ground.

She felt that her legs had healed and there was no pain at all, and she could walk, but Gao Shule didn't allow her to, so she could only do this when Gao Shule wasn't paying attention.

When Lu Lu didn't come back for lunch, the four of them waited for more than ten minutes. Finally, Luo said, "Why don't we stop waiting? Maybe someone invited her to stay for dinner."

Gao Shule thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's eat first. When she comes back, I'll make her a separate portion."

Gao Luo thought to herself: Forget it. If you treat her so well, she might sell you out next time.

When the rival fans saw that they started eating without waiting for Lu Lu to come back, they finally got the chance to scold them back.

[It was said before that it was impolite for other guests to start eating without waiting for them, so aren’t they also quite impolite? 】

[You've only been waiting for more than ten minutes and you're already giving up. You're so impatient. 】

After Gao Shule performed the play "Shou Qing" yesterday, she finally succeeded in converting a wave of passers-by into hardcore fans. The fans did some research on her overnight and even watched all the scenes where she played supporting roles in the crew. Now they like Gao Shule more and more.

[She used to be a cook, and it was impolite for diners not to wait for the cook! Today she is still the cook. People who want to eat should come back on their own initiative. Why should the cook wait for you! 】

[Instead of telling them so much, it would be better to let them go back and see for themselves where Lu Lu is now. 】

Gao Shule’s fans were too lazy to argue with the other party and told them to go back and watch it themselves.

Because Lu Lu was indeed visiting other guests at the moment, what Luo said was right.

Lu Lu went to distribute kiwis to other guests, and when she gave it to Shen Siyan, she asked her to stay for dinner. Lu Lu was a very outgoing person and she agreed immediately, completely forgetting that Gao Shule was still waiting for her to come back for dinner.

At around one o'clock in the afternoon, she finally came back.

Gao Shule guessed that she must have eaten, but still asked her if she had eaten.

Lu Lu said frankly: "I've eaten, but I'm not full. Can you help me make another bowl of noodles?"

"Okay, then you sit and wait for a while." Gao Shule immediately got up and went into the kitchen.

[Didn’t she just have noodles at Shen Siyan’s place? Still eating? Ladies, you have a good appetite. 】

【I just ate a few bites and left more than half of the food in the bowl. I guess he thought it was not tasty enough. . 】

[The only two chefs who can cook on this show are both with Gao Shule. I wonder what she ate at their homes. She must be regretting it now. 】

Lu Lu really regretted it. She thought everyone’s cooking skills were similar to Gao Shule’s. She didn’t expect that she would be so obedient after eating a bowl of noodles.

Gao Luo sat in the main room and asked Lu Lu at whose house she had eaten.

Lu Lu replied: "Si Yan."

They just called her Siyan without even mentioning her surname. Gao Luo groaned for a moment and said, "You two had a good chat."

Lu Lu is a fence-sitter by nature. Gao Luo knew that she came back from Shen Siyan, so she had to be on high alert. What if Shen Siyan succeeded in brainwashing her with just a few words? It would be so scary to have a "hostile element" in the house.

Gao Luo pretended to praise her: “Sister Lu Lu didn’t know Aunt Shen before, then you have too strong social skills.”

Lu Lu was not modest at all. "Before I came here, I didn't know any of the guests here. I've only been here for a day or two, but I've become familiar with everyone. I can't help it. It's all thanks to my good personality. You don't know that several people invited me to have lunch with them at noon today."

"Really?"

"Yes." Lu Lu thought she didn't believe it, and pinched her fingers and said, "Chen Cong, Bian Yuan, and Si Yan all invited me to dinner."

“Then it seems that he is very familiar with Aunt Shen, otherwise why would he stay with her alone.”

"I said I wanted to come back, but she was so enthusiastic that she insisted on keeping me."

"I'm not very good at making friends. Sister Lulu, can you teach me what topics to talk about when I first meet a stranger?"

"You've asked the right person. I'm good at breaking the ice."

"Oh!" Gao Luo made an expression as if she was studying seriously.

"There are two types of social interactions: complete strangers and people with whom you have mutual friends. The latter is a little easier. When you chat with them, you can start with the people you know in common."

Gao Luo suddenly realized: "You talked about Lele with Aunt Shen? What did you say about her?"

"Of course I praised her. Siyan said her performance yesterday was so beautiful, but that was also because I cooperated well. She said she also wanted to learn opera and asked me for advice. I am a person who likes to help others."

Shen Siyan first praised Gao Shule for her beautiful acting, and then said that it was because Lu Lu cooperated well. This praise touched Lu Lu's heart, so when Shen Siyan invited her to dinner, she naturally agreed.

Gao Luo nodded. As expected, flattery never gets out of hand. Shen Siyan also understood this.

"Is that all we talked about?"

"What do you mean we only talked about this? Do you know how many basic knowledge points you need to master to learn opera? How can we finish them in one meal?"

Gao Luo said "Oh", "So you're going to continue teaching her after you go back?"

"Well, we have agreed on a time to meet after we get back." Lu Lu said with a sigh: "I am still too nice."

Lu Lu was so proud of her excellent quality of being helpful that she paid no attention to Gao Luo's expression.

Gao Luo understood it clearly, knowing that Shen Siyan would most likely resort to some means to win over Lu Lu after she returned, but she didn't know what means she would use. She couldn't do three things in one movie, right?

I have to remind Gao Shule to stay away from Lu Lu in the future. Or, if she didn't want to stay away, she should at least be careful with her words and actions in front of Lu Lu.

After they finished talking, the noodles cooked by Gao Shule were ready. They were filled with shrimp, mushrooms, eggs, and vegetables. The appearance of the noodles was very appetizing.

Lu Lu hugged Gao Shule's waist and said with relief: "Lele is really good at cooking. I will stick with you and be your good friend for life!"

Lu Lu has no sense of boundaries in her words and actions. To put it bluntly, she has no sense of propriety. To put it nicely, she is enthusiastic and cheerful.

This personality will cause some people to hate her, but some people will like her. Gao Shule belongs to the latter category.

Gao Shule will deliberately avoid social situations. She needs others to approach her actively and continuously. During her four years in college, she only had Lu Lu as a friend, because only Lu Lu would take the initiative to approach her, talk to her, ask her to be their partner, rehearse with her, and even contact her during the winter and summer vacations.

Lu Lu’s shortcomings and strengths are symbiotic. The essence of having no sense of boundaries is that she is overly self-centered and does not care about or respect other people’s feelings.

So she can easily say things like "I want to be your good friend for life" when you are in her favor, but she can also jump out and say "Why is she such a person" when you are out of favor.

Before going to bed at night, Gao Luo quietly told Gao Shule: "Don't take Lu Lu's words seriously. She can chat with anyone. You won't be friends forever. Don't invest too much emotion in her."

Gao Shule was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said, "I know that Lu Lu has many friends, and I am just one of them. She will have better friends, and our relationship will fade sooner or later."

Gao Shule understands that on the train of life, most friendships are temporary, and very few can accompany her through this journey. She could accept people getting off the bus midway.

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was..." Gao Luo stopped midway.

She wanted to say that Lu Lu would stab her in the back, but this hadn't been discovered yet, so it was difficult to convict someone in advance, especially when it was a false charge.

"What?" Gao Shule asked.

Gao Luo shook her head, "Nothing, I just wanted to say that she has a lot of friends, and I hope you can have other friends too."

Humans are social animals and have a natural need for a sense of belonging and identity. Therefore, having one or two friends is quite important in the process of survival.

But Gao Luo continued, "It doesn't matter if you really can't make other friends. You still have me, and... my sister. If you and Lu Lu really become distant in the future, you can come to me, or you can come to my sister."

"Your sister? I'm not very familiar with her."

Gao Luo glanced at the pearl necklace on her hand and said, "You are not familiar with me, but you are still wearing the things she gave you. You are saying one thing and thinking another!"

"You'll become familiar with each other after meeting each other twice. By the way, she's going back to her country soon. After this shoot, I'll make arrangements for you two to meet."

Gao Luo decided to take this opportunity to tell her her secret. Tell her that Xie Ran and Gao Luo are actually the same person.

Gao Shule was stunned when she heard this, and after a long moment, she exclaimed, "Ah?"

"What's wrong? Don't you want to see her?" Gao Luo asked.

"I thought about it, but... wouldn't it be too abrupt? We are really not familiar with each other."

They only saw each other once a year and hadn't spoken to each other for many years. Gao Shule suddenly felt very nervous and her nerves were tense, as if Xie Ran was sitting opposite her.

"People start to get to know each other better. It only takes a few more times for them to get to know each other." Gao Luo comforted her: "Don't worry, she is easy to get along with and likes you very much."

"…She likes me?"

"Yes, she has watched our live broadcasts, and she thinks you are great. When she sees today's live broadcast, she will definitely think the same as I do: It turns out that Lele is so outstanding that he can get the first place with his own strength!"

When Gao Shule heard this, a smile finally appeared on her face: "I am also making progress, right?"

Finally, she didn't rely on A'Luo or Xia Shi, but got the first place on her own. For the first time, Gao Shule felt that she wasn't that bad.

"Yeah! Lele is making progress and will get better and better!"

"I hope... after this show, some crew will ask me to film a movie. I hope it will be a more normal role." Gao Shule held on to a small hope.

"There will definitely be one!" Gao Luo affirmed.

If not, she would go and ask Meng Zhang for some resources.

*

Gao Shule couldn't sleep that night. She tossed and turned, and all she could think about was what Gao Luo had said to her, saying that she would ask her to meet Xie Ran after she got home.

It has been half a year since we last met. I wonder if she has changed. What are we going to talk about during this meeting? Gao Shule thought of the method Lu Lu mentioned during the day, which was to start with someone they both knew, which was to talk about A'Luo. Yes, she also watched the live broadcast, and you can talk to her about what happened on the show.

When Gao Shule was daydreaming, a vague voice suddenly came to her ears: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Gao Luo looked at her with drooping eyelids, her eyes couldn't focus, and she was obviously very sleepy.

"Did I wake you up by turning over?"

Summer in the mountains is also cool, especially at night, when you have to cover yourself with a thin blanket when you sleep.

Gao Shule pulled the blanket on Gao Luo upwards and patted her back gently: "I'm sorry, I'll try not to move, you go to sleep."

Gao Luo closed her eyes and mumbled, "What are you thinking about?"

Gao Shule said nothing.

After a while, Gao Luo's breathing became even again and she seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Gao Luo was actually in a state between half asleep and half awake at that time. She felt like she was dreaming, and someone was talking in her dream.

It was a very soft voice, like a layer of smoke, floating around and enveloping me.

The person spoke incoherently, as if saying: "Why do you look so much like your sister, and have similar personalities?" "I haven't talked to her for a long time, I'm a little scared." "How come she is so outstanding? She can do everything to the best of her ability." "I'm so envious. I envied her the first time I saw her." "She is so good at talking and pleasing others, which is completely different from me." "Mom and Dad often praise her and ask why I'm not like her."

"I can't do anything right, my parents don't like me." "They don't like me..." "I think they will like me a little bit when I go back this time." "Not necessarily, they probably won't watch my show."

After Gao Luo woke up, she thought back to those words and realized that she was not dreaming. Gao Shule thought she was asleep and spoke out what was in her heart.

Gao Shule's first reaction when encountering problems is to rely on herself. She doesn't want to trouble others and wants to work hard to prove herself. Gao Luo had previously guessed that there must be someone around her who always denies her. Now I know that those people were her parents.

This did not surprise her. Many parents would give their children comparative education and would say, "You are not as good as so-and-so's child" or "You are not good enough."

Gao Shule grew up in such an environment. Therefore, her personality will be sensitive, she will have low self-esteem, and she will subconsciously try to please others, while her social skills will be suppressed.

What surprised Gao Luo was that she was the one who caused her such trouble.

So she couldn't sleep at night because she was nervous about meeting Xie Ran? Fear? If her parents have used me to suppress her since she was a child, then I must be like a childhood shadow in her heart.

After Gao Luo knew this, she looked at the pearl bracelet on Gao Shule's hand again, and her mood changed completely.

She felt that the reason why Gao Shule always wore the bracelet was probably to remind herself that in her parents' hearts, there was always someone better than herself. She has to remind herself to be hardworking, motivated and self-reliant.

If that's the case, what will she think after I tell her the truth? If she knew that the person she had been with for so many days was her childhood shadow, would she be angry? Would she feel that I was deliberately hiding it from her and playing tricks on her?

Gao Luo hesitated.

For the next two days, the program team did not assign any tasks, allowing the guests to move freely and enjoy the comfort and leisure of returning to the mountains away from the city.

Paipai is so happy because he moved into a bigger house. Also, because I live on the same side of the street with Gao Luo, I visit her more frequently than before.

He came over that day and saw that Gao Luo seemed to be unhappy, so he asked her what was wrong, but Gao Luo didn't say anything.

Chen Cong next to him said, "A Luo has been staying in the room all the time. She must be bored."

"Then I'll take Luo to go boating!" Paipai was very active and was about to take Luo to go boating. He kept saying, "It's fun. It's completely different from taking a cruise. You definitely won't get seasick."

He took the initiative to get a cane for Gao Luo, but Gao Luo said, "No need, my legs are fine, I can walk now."

The next moment, he was immediately rejected by Gao Shule. Gao Shule said seriously: "The closer we get to the final moment, the more we cannot be careless."

"Let me carry you downstairs, A'Luo." Chen Cong said.

Gao Luo waved her hand: "No, no, I can just use a cane."

"Then I'll carry you!" Paipai squatted down and called her enthusiastically, "Come on up!"

Ah Luo looked at his narrow back and said, "You... forget it."

The nine-year-old kid is only a little taller than me. I'd better not let both of us roll down the stairs together.

Paipai saw the obvious doubt and distrust in Gao Luo's eyes, "You look down on me? I'm very strong!"

[Paipai, please wake up and look down at your own body! 】

[To be honest, Zhang Tianen seems more reliable than him. . 】

[He carried me downstairs on his back. Not only was Luo scared, I was scared too. 】

Gao Luo insisted not to let Paipai carry her, so Paipai had to give up. In the end, Gao Luo went down by herself using crutches.

Those on board included Gao Luo, Gao Shule, Chen Cong, Paipai, and two cameramen.

Xiaonian saw them and wanted to get on, but Paipai said, "There's no room. We'll pick you up on the next trip. Or you can take another boat. There's another one over there."

Xiaonian stood on the shore in a huff. Later, Xia Shi took him on another boat and asked the boatman to row the boat so that the people on the two boats could hear each other talking. Only then did Xiaonian become happy again.

Feeling that the boat was too heavy, Jin Qi later took the initiative to switch to Xiaonian's boat.

The two shuttle boats moved forward along the current. The wind blowing in their faces brought a damp and cool feeling. The stilt houses standing on the mountains on both sides of the river receded in their sight. The sky was clear and vast. Gao Luo's heart finally swept away the previous haze and became peaceful and tranquil.

【It finally feels a bit like a "vacation". Before, it was just "wonderful" but not the comfort of vacation. 】

[This makes me excited. Where is this? I also want to go on vacation. 】

[I want to go too, it looks good to be filmed! 】

[I didn’t expect that Paipai has the potential to be a tourism ambassador. 】

Paipai, who was named the "tourism ambassador", had no idea and just kept asking Gao Luo: "How is it? Did I make the right recommendation? Isn't it fun?"

Gao Luo gave him a thumbs up and said, "It's still our Paipai."

Paipai raised his head happily.

Chen Siyan and Xue Chen lived downstream of the river, so when returning, they had to pass by them.

Shen Siyan waved to them and said, “Give me a ride, I want to go to the other side to find Lu Lu.”

Paipai said quickly, "It's going to your house, Luo."

Gao Luo said nothing, and Gao Shule also said nothing.

Only Shen Cong asked the boatman to dock and take the people on board.

Xia Shi also asked the boatman to dock. His original intention was to let Shen Siyan take his own boat, but in the end Shen Siyan got on Shen Cong's boat, while her PD and cameraman got on Xia Shi's boat.

After Shen Siyan got on board, she thanked Shen Cong: “Thank you, Mr. Shen.”

Shen Cong replied: "You're welcome, it's just on the way."

When they gathered before, Shen Cong arrived first, and Shen Siyan took the second boat. At that time, he didn't say he would give her a ride. But today, he took the initiative so much that Gao Luo felt that there was indeed something wrong with these two people.

She decided to find an opportunity to test Shen Cong.

After Shen Siyan came up, the boat slowly rowed towards the other side. After about ten minutes, the boat reached the shore. Shen Cong went down first, followed by Paipai.

Chen Cong pinched Paipai's armpits and lifted him down.

The next one is Gao Luo.

Shen Siyan helped her hold the crutches from behind, and Gao Luo reached out to Shen Cong on the shore.

When Chen Cong was about to catch her, Gao Luo heard two screams from behind, and then her body tilted and she fell uncontrollably to the outside of the boat.

She subconsciously pulled her arms back and supported herself on the ground with her hands, so Shen Cong missed.

But outside is not land, but water. Gao Luo subconsciously closed her eyes, but what was waiting for her was not cold river water.

Someone hugged her.

She opened her eyes quickly and saw Xia Shi.

When their boat began to shake, Xia Shi jumped into the water decisively. Fortunately, the two boats were close to each other, and the river on the shore was not deep, so he could cross in two steps and catch Luo just before she fell into the water.

When Xia Shi picked up A'Luo, he heard two "splash, splash" sounds of people falling into the water beside him.

Xia Shi handed Gao Luo to Chen Cong on the shore, and then went into the water to rescue her. Another cameraman on the boat also quickly put down his camera and went into the water to rescue the man.

Soon Gao Shule and Shen Siyan were fished out.

It was fished out in time and I just drank some water, nothing else happened.

The staff asked them to take a shower quickly.

After taking a bath and changing into clean clothes, they were allowed to go to the fire pit room to warm themselves by the fire.

Gao Luo asked what happened, and Shen Siyan said apologetically: “I didn’t stand firmly when I stood up, and I fell down.”

Shen Cong added: "Yes, I saw it. Teacher Shen fell down first. Her weight pressed on the side of the boat, so the boat flipped to one side."

Shen Siyan apologized to Gao Shule: "I'm sorry, Teacher Shen, I have caused you trouble."

Gao Shule replied: "It's okay, it's fine. Fortunately, we are close to the shore and the water is shallow. Fortunately, Teacher Xia caught Luo."

Luo didn't fall down, this is the most important thing.

"Yes, Teacher Xia, your skills and reaction are so agile." Shen Siyan said to Xia Shi, "Luckily, you have me."
