Chapter 43 The drama became a huge hit and firmly established itself as the American empire.
Lin Guyu and Li Cong had also finished moving all the boxes of goods, and Li Cong also got on the electric tricycle.
Lin Guyu remembered this car. Li Cong saved him while sitting in this car. He was also familiar with the smell in the car, which was exactly the same as the one in the fresh food store.
Li Cong also got into the car and inserted the key. He looked up and saw Lin Guyu sitting there motionless and distracted.
He was silent for two seconds and honked the horn.
Lin Guyu suddenly came back to his senses. He looked at Li Cong apologetically and asked, "Should I sit in the front too? Or..."
He turned and glanced at the boxes.
"Come up and sit next to me." Li Cong's tone was also very calm, but the words he said made people want to obey.
Lin Guyu didn't dare to dawdle and quickly sat next to Li Congye.
No one spoke during this time. Lin Guyu tried several times to break the depressing atmosphere, but was dissuaded by the coward in his heart.
What if Li Cong also hates this?
He pinched the cushion that had some skin peeling off. When he looked at his hands, he found that he had accidentally pinched off a few more pieces of skin.
He hurriedly wiped off the dandruff and pretended nothing had happened.
In fact, Li Congye really couldn't see Lin Guyu's little movements from that angle.
The delivery took two hours, and Lin Guyu worked diligently as an assistant, sincerely repaying his previously reserved gratitude with her delicate heart and conscientious and impeccable behavior.
By the time it got dark, Lin Guyu was already hungry. When he passed the quiet Chengli Thirteenth Street, his stomach protested.
Lin Guyu's ears turned red with embarrassment. He could only pray that Li Cong didn't hear it either.
But Li Cong still heard it because he stopped his car in front of a wonton shop.
After they finished moving the goods, they took off their apron sleeves. Li Cong got out of the car without hesitation. "Want some wontons?"
Lin Guyu was so hungry that he didn't care what to eat. He just nodded.
Li Cong also took him into the store. The boss reacted familiarly when he saw the visitor, and it seemed that he was also quite familiar with Li Cong.
"What do you want to eat?" Li Cong also pointed to the menu on the wall.
Lin Guyu looked for a while and saw that in addition to wontons, there was also rice. Since he was really hungry, he ordered a bowl of rice with minced meat and eggplant, and Li Cong also ordered a bowl of large wontons.
The two of them didn't communicate much from beginning to end. Lin Guyu didn't care about communication or his image, and ate voraciously by himself.
From Li Congye's perspective, the person eating opposite him looked like a squirrel with a bulging mouth.
While eating wontons, he noticed that Lin Guyu's forehead was sweating and his bangs were a little wet.
Fifteen minutes later, Lin Guyu completed the CD operation.
Li Cong also finished eating the wontons. He stood up and paid the bill with cash.
"Um..." After walking out of the store, Lin Guyu couldn't help but ask, "Twelve yuan, can I transfer it to you via WeChat? Or... I'll give you cash when I get back to school."
Li Cong also got in the car and started it, so Lin Guyu had to get in first.
"The labor fee includes meals, so you don't have to transfer it to me."
When Lin Guyu heard Li Congye say this, he let out an "Ah" in the wind, and the puzzled voice drifted into Li Congye's ears with the wind, but he did not respond.
"I'm here to help... I don't need the labor fee," Lin Guyu said, "Didn't you say so?"
Li Cong still didn't say anything until he drove the car back to the entrance of the fresh food store and asked Lin Guyu to sit still and wait for him.
Lin Guyu had a lot to say, so he just sat there obediently waiting for Li Congye.
Half a minute later, he saw Li Cong coming over with something in his hand.
Only when the other person walked in did Lin Guyu see clearly that Li Cong was holding the notes that he had secretly placed on the other person's desk.
It’s a thick book, covering three subjects: Chinese, math and English.
"Thank you for your notes," Li Cong said to Lin Guyu for the first time. "I won't need them anymore."
Lin Guyu opened his mouth slightly, but still took the notebook and held it in his arms.
"Since you said you don't want any labor fees, there's no need to count today's meal." Li Cong continued in a calm tone.
Warmer than usual, but also more cruel than usual.
"That's it, no need to thank me anymore." Li Congye's voice seemed to pass through a layer of membrane that could not be pierced into Lin Guyu's ears.
He once again suppressed the urge to cry, but this time his tears fell mischievously on the back of Li Congye's hand.
Li Cong also felt itchy on the back of his hand where it was soaked.
"Lin Guyu, stop crying."
Lin Guyu wiped the tears from her face carelessly, but she couldn't wipe away the redness in her eyes for the time being.
"I'll take you home." Li Cong got into the car again, inserted the key and started it.
Lin Guyu sobbed and told him his home address, sitting beside him without saying a word as before.
Twenty minutes later, we arrived.
Li Cong also saw Lin Guyu's home, which was a single-family house with a beautiful appearance, a place he might never live in in his lifetime.
Lin Guyu also knew that he needed to get off the bus.
He moved slowly, but turned around without hesitation at the last second before taking a step.
Li Cong was stunned for a moment, and then he was hugged by Lin Guyu.
Lin Guyu didn't move. The hug lasted for three seconds, or even longer...
Li Cong also sighed in the little warmth, fatigue overflowing from all sides of his skin. He lowered his trembling eyes and recalled what Lu Xue had said to him half an hour ago.
So he asked Lin Guyu, do I still smell like fish?
Lin Guyu's voice was very soft, but he still heard his answer - the smell on me is the same as yours, I can't smell it.
"Cut! Cut back to the fresh food store, reshoot Li Congye's perspective—"
Lu Xue was eating leftovers from lunch when she saw her son walk in. "Have you finished delivering the goods? Have you had dinner? Where's Guyu?"
Li Cong also gave a brief reply: "After sending him off, I took him out for dinner."
Lu Xue nodded, took out a red banknote from her bag, and stuffed it into Li Congye's pocket, "You can't ask for help from others for nothing."
"Yeah." Li Cong also accepted it. Just as he was about to leave after taking the things, he heard Lu Xue calling him.
"Xiaoye, if you want to be friends with the other person, remember to be gentle."
Li Cong's pupils trembled slightly, and he paused for a second before leaving.
"Cut! Cut to the next shot, Lin Guyu goes home—"
Lin Guyu didn't know how he got home. He only knew that when Li Cong didn't push away his arms, his heart leaped with joy for the first time in a long time.
He returned to his room, stroked the thick notebook, and stuffed it into the cabinet.

After what the audience thought was a very long wait, the second episode of "When the Grain Rain Comes" was aired on time.
The scene where Li Congye rescues Lin Guyu on the rooftop and carries her in his arms like a princess was shared on Weibo by a blogger and received thousands of reposts. The comments section was full of people cheering for her.
[Wow, this is such a great photo! I'm so moved, so moved by this princess hug!]
[Director Xia Hui, Screenwriter Dong Xiao: I won't allow anyone to disobey you]
[Holy crap, is this really the quality of a Chinese web drama? I’m going to go watch it!]
[What a perfect match! Our Lin Guyu and Li Congye, a match made in heaven...]
[I want to catch up on this drama, I want to catch up on this drama! This three-minute video has me hooked!]
In addition to Weibo, the CP editing of Li Congye and Lin Guyu also became popular on Bilibili.
The most popular video title is: Domestic entertainment saves the ceiling of campus literature! The cool guy saves the beautiful and well-behaved student!
It directly extracts the highlight scenes of all the two protagonists in the first and second episodes.
The plot where Li Cong carried Lin Guyu as a princess on the rooftop even became a real-time hot search and was edited with a different background music.
This clip was slowed down and accelerated by the host of this video along with the BGM. The three-minute video is so addictive that people can't stop watching it, and the comment section is full of "Wow".
[Holy crap, what the heck is this drama! What's it called?! The two leads are such a good match! I thought it was a new BL drama from Japan, Thailand, or Korea, but it's actually from China!]
[Hey guys, check out the comment and tag pinned by the uploader. The show is called "When the Grain Rain Arrives," with Zhu Shengting playing Li Congye and He Yan playing Lin Guyu. I guarantee with my life that it's incredibly good!!! If it's not good, come and chop me up. It's even being filmed and broadcast simultaneously~]
The filming style looks so familiar! Director Xia Hui is actually directing a web series? The quality is already very high! If Dong Xiao were the screenwriter, he wouldn't have to worry about the script and story. Damn! I want to follow it!
[Oh my goodness, there are already so many Conggu fans on our Shengyan topic. So cool! It's even better when paired with Shengyan!]
What's the background music that the up master edited? It sounds so good.
[This is the theme song of the same name from our drama Shengyan. It's really good. The audio will be available on all major platforms at 10 am tomorrow.]
The official audio source of this theme song has not yet been released, but the variation and edited version has become a hit on Douyin.
Many internet celebrities and bloggers use this BGM to match their youth, some use it to change their clothes and some use it to record their student days.
There were even many people who covered the song, and for a while the popularity of this theme song tended to overshadow that of the drama.
Not to mention the surge in followers for He Yan and Zhu Shengting's individual Weibo super topics, the Shengyan CP super topic gained hundreds of thousands of followers in just one week, and its popularity is undoubtedly firmly on the top of the list.
The popularity of the drama "When the Grain Rain Comes" has become the number one on the fruit website, and its popularity is overwhelming.
When He Yan reacted, he found that the messages on his Weibo private messages had skyrocketed, and he needed some time to adapt to the extreme increase in exposure.
There were more and more people coming to the crew to take photos, and there were paparazzi from time to time, so he and Zhu Shengting basically went back to the hotel to rest after finishing the filming.
The producers just took advantage of the huge popularity of the new drama and scheduled the postponed new drama press conference for tomorrow afternoon. Only a small number of media were invited to the event, but it will be broadcast live.
He Yan had just finished dinner when he received the message, and he replied in the group that he had received it.
Then he received an unexpected news.
It was sent from Fengrui Pavilion.
He opened the chat box with Fengrui Pavilion with doubt in his heart, and his heart started pounding after looking at it for two seconds.
Teacher Feng: Xiao He, Teacher Xu Mingyou heard your singing demo at my place a while ago and really admires your voice. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you. [Smile]
"bite--"
As soon as Zhu Shengting got off the treadmill, he received three messages from Zhan Ming, two of which were links and one was an emoji of a sweating soybean.
He clicked on the first Weibo link, which was an announcement post about Min Xu attending the fashion week a few days ago wearing Datura's seasonal menswear.
Min Xu is a more mature actor than him, four years older than him, and has two award-winning dramas under his belt.
After not attending the fashion week, Zhu Shengting didn’t care who attended. He exited this Weibo post and clicked on the second one.
This is a new Weibo post by Meng Chuan.
[Dream Media: Let us welcome @Minxuyoujiayou, Teacher Minxu, to join our Dream Media family.]
