"Huh? Does it smell?"
Su Lin's expression changed slightly, then she responded with an awkward laugh.
"Yeah, there was a strong smell of smoke in the bathroom just now. Someone must have gone in to smoke. It choked me to death."
"The restaurant environment here is really bad!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Yiyi didn't press the matter further.
She simply smiled gently and pulled Su Lin along.
"It's okay, we're only here once. Let's go, everyone's waiting for you."
Don't be upset.
"When you're out having fun, you should relax a bit."
As they were talking, Huang Yiyi had already pulled Su Lin back into the restaurant.
Seemingly to ease the awkward atmosphere, the group, now replenished with dinner, seemed to regain some of their energy and greeted Su Lin with smiles, trying to ease the tension.
It's as if the people who were complaining to each other in front of the live stream never existed.
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Su Lin felt much less uncomfortable.
Gradually, he began to chat and laugh normally with the other guests, enjoying dinner.
The time was almost right.
The young female director came out again, smiling as she looked at Su Lin.
"Teacher Su Lin, our next activity is to help you all rediscover your most unforgettable memory!"
"We need you to provide a video or photo so we can share the story behind it with everyone later."
"Here's your phone. Can you choose what you want and send it to our program's account?"
As he spoke, the director handed the phone that Su Lin had handed over back.
Su Lin's eyes lit up when she heard about the next game segment.
He reached out and took the phone, chuckling softly.
"To find each other's most unforgettable memory?"
"This part is quite interesting."
As she spoke, she immediately looked at Lin Chu, who had been quiet all along, with some dissatisfaction, and became arrogant.
She finally seized her opportunity!!
"The memories Lin Chu gave me are truly unforgettable."
"He's not romantic at all; he never thinks about giving me a gift that will satisfy me."
"Other couples give each other all sorts of gifts for holidays and anniversaries, such as luxury handbags, necklaces and jewelry, and overseas trips."
"Lin Chu is so clueless. He never does anything romantic and has absolutely no sense of ceremony."
“I have been married to him for more than ten years and I have never received a decent gift.”
“Every time I see my best friend receiving gifts from her husband and I feel envious, I feel so sad. Lin Chu, on the other hand, acts like nothing's wrong and never even thinks of buying me one!”
Upon hearing this, the eyes of several guests at the scene involuntarily fell on Lin Chu.
Lin Chu had heard Su Lin say these things enough in her previous life, so she was naturally unmoved at this moment, and even wanted to laugh a little.
He smiled and spread his hands, facing the camera and the gazes of the crowd.
"All the money in the house, all the income, is with Su Lin."
“I don’t even have a few dozen yuan of pocket money each month. When I go out for commercial performances, if I want to drink water or eat something, I have to borrow money from my agent, and Su Lin will reimburse me.”
“The appearance fees for each performance were directly deposited into the company’s and Su Lin’s accounts.”
"In this situation, I would like to give her some luxury gifts, things she likes, but where would I get the money?"
Upon hearing this, the guests present were instantly speechless.
Ge Lan stared wide-eyed in disbelief, looking over in astonishment.
"Don't you even have enough for living expenses?"
"Having to borrow money from his agent even to eat? That's just too tragic!"
"The key point is, isn't all the income earned by you?"
Now that Yang Lin had eaten and drunk his fill, he was in high spirits.
He immediately sneered and looked at Su Lin, who was still unwilling to give up.
"Su Lin, that's where you're wrong."
"You've taken all the family's money and all their income, so even if Lin Chu wanted to give you a surprise, it would be impossible."
"Let alone those luxury items that cost tens or hundreds of thousands, I don't even have the money to buy you a bouquet of flowers."
"That's a bit..."
Hearing what these two said, the others present also understood the feeling.
Lin Chu had already given everything to Su Lin, but Su Lin was still not satisfied and kept criticizing the so-called sense of ritual and surprise.
It's truly a situation that makes one both laugh and cry.
Su Lin stared wide-eyed, her face showing disapproval.
"So what!?"
"If someone really cares, they'll find a way to prepare gifts and surprises for me even if they don't have money!"
"His lack of money is just an excuse!"
"To put it bluntly, she doesn't value me enough. She doesn't care about me at all and doesn't understand what I need!"
"Do you know how disappointed I feel over the past ten years of marriage, watching my girlfriends receive gifts from their husbands while I only get cheap things?"
"I'm his free babysitter, taking care of the children at home. Don't I deserve to be loved?"
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere became awkward once again.
The guests were also completely baffled.
Why does it always come down to whether someone deserves to be loved?
Seeing that the recording session was about to turn into a grumbling session, the director quickly stepped in to revive the proceedings.
"The teachers have already finished dinner, so let's chat while we move on to the next segment!"
"Then let's start with the videos that Teacher Lin Chu provided!"
Let's see what Teacher Lin Chu thinks is the most unforgettable memory they share with each other!
"Look at the big screen!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the backstage staff had already projected the birthday surprise video that Lin Chu had sent onto the big screen.
The attention of the six guests was also drawn to it.
Su Lin glanced at it once, then instantly revealed a disdainful and sneer expression, looking at Lin Chu with undisguised disappointment.
"That's it?!"
"How dare you post this video? Don't you realize you've gone too far and are incredibly shameful?"
"I really admire you, you have such a great attitude!"
Hearing Su Lin's words only fueled everyone's curiosity.
Huang Yiyi carefully examined the video; the environment inside was rather dim.
Many girls surrounded Su Lin, chatting and laughing as they blindfolded her and escorted her in.
"This scene looks... like Lin Chu has prepared some kind of surprise for Su Lin, right?"
Ge Lan also clasped her hands together, rested her chin on them, and watched with a smile.
"Wow, that's so thoughtful! You can tell they put a lot of effort into creating this surprise scene."
"We also invited so many good friends."
"You must have put a lot of thought into it, right?"
Before anyone could ask, the director had already spoken to Lin Chu.
"Teacher Lin Chu, the video is playing. Could you tell us the background of this matter?"
Lin Chu nodded slightly upon hearing this.
At this moment, he no longer cared about Su Lin's opinions or mockery.
"no problem."
"This video was taken three years ago when Su Lin celebrated her birthday. At the time, I wanted to give her a surprise, so I prepared for more than two months in advance."
"Of course, I don't have any money, so the money for setting up the surprise scene, buying gifts, and everything else was borrowed from my agent."
"I turned down several music program slots and commercial performances at the time, and made the arrangements secretly while Su Lin wasn't paying attention."
"It's all for... to celebrate her birthday."
As they were talking, a sudden burst of exclamations and laughter came from the video, and everyone cheered and looked towards the teddy bear in the corner as the elevator slowly descended.
Surrounded by everyone, Su Lin watched with a stiff smile as the teddy bear stepped out of the elevator and danced in front of her.
Finally, the teddy bear knelt down on one knee and took out the prepared gift box.
A dazzling and exquisite diamond necklace lies quietly inside.
This scene immediately drew cheers and applause from the guests present.
They all looked at Su Lin with envy, and even more so at Lin Chu with admiring glances.
"How romantic, Lin Chu! She specially prepared this surprise and even dressed up as a teddy bear!"
"Wow, is that the gift you prepared? It looks like a beautiful necklace!"
"How thoughtful, Su Lin. Isn't Lin Chu being quite romantic?"
"Yes, what a thoughtfully prepared surprise, how wonderful!"
Yang Lin went even further, pressing his face against Su Lin's and smiling as he looked at her.
"Su Lin, isn't this great? It's romantic and thoughtful."
"You must have been overjoyed at the time, right?"
"Don't you like it?"
"Lin Chu put so much effort into preparing this. Even though she didn't have any money, she overcame the difficulties and borrowed money to buy you a gift."
"It really wasn't easy."
Upon hearing this, the others echoed and praised it.
Hearing everyone's praise for Lin Chu in the video, Su Lin's expression changed several times, but she remained arrogant and indifferent.
He gave a soft hum and spoke indifferently.
"To be honest... a gift of this caliber is worse than not giving it at all."
"It's alright."
"That's how I felt at the time, so it's alright, nothing serious."
"It wasn't delivered to my heart."
"He just doesn't understand me, he's not sincere!"
