Chapter 18
◎The first advertisement!◎
As soon as the words of recruiting people came out, the two demon gods fell silent.
Lian Jiu knew that this proposal was a bit bold. After all, everyone in the mountains now regarded him as an amnesiac demon god, so they trusted him very much.
But if we recruit a human being in a fair and open manner... the meaning will be different.
When she made this suggestion, she herself hesitated for a long time, because these demon gods did not have a good sense of humans.
"This might be a little hard for you to accept," Lian Jiu said softly, "but in the long run, this should be feasible."
Si Lan remained silent, but Long Ying seemed to be eager to communicate: "What do you mean?"
Lian Jiu: "First, we will go out and eventually come into contact with humans. Second, with our current limited resources, the demons cannot meet their educational needs."
"We've considered this before, but..." Long Ying paused and sighed on the other end of the line, "We're hesitant to leave the child in human hands."
“What if it’s someone reliable?”
Long Ying: "Teacher Lian Jiu, please let us think about it again."
This was not something that could be decided in a short time, and Lian Jiu was not eager to get an answer. After making this suggestion, they began to discuss the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It was too late and he had to go to work the next day, so Lian Jiu went back to rest after saying that.
Little did they know that in the middle of the night Long Ying rushed over from the human world to meet Si Lan and Su Caifeng.
The three demon gods gathered on the top of Silan Mountain with solemn expressions.
Si Lan transformed into his original form, seemingly lying in the snow, his ears pressed to the ground. Long Ying squatted beside him: "What do you think about this?"
The reason why they had to discuss this behind Teacher Lian Jiu's back was because Long Ying felt that Lian Jiu was different from the monsters like them.
These monsters have never been willing to have anything to do with humans since ancient times. Now they are called monster gods, but in the past they were ferocious beasts that suppressed other species by force. Otherwise, they would not have walked out of the battlefield, and Si Lan would not be the one that monsters fear the most.
Although it has been dormant for so many years and lives in a harmonious society, its ferocious nature has been suppressed a lot, but its ferocious beast instinct is still there and it stands on the side of the monster.
But Lian Jiu is different. She can treat humans and monsters equally and has a peaceful aura. To be honest, several demon gods feel that they cannot reach the same level as Teacher Lian Jiu, so they only dare to discuss quietly.
Si Lan remained slumped in the snow, and said lazily, "Whatever."
"How can we be so careless!" Long Ying was unhappy and threw a handful of snow on his ears. "We have to hide everything when we hire an engineer, but if we hire a teacher, everything will be exposed to everyone. What if there are too many people and we can't control them? Then we..."
Si Lan's ears twitched slightly, shaking off the tiny bits of snow. He glanced at Long Ying and scoffed, "How do you know this hasn't been exposed before?"
"What's the meaning?"
"She's right." Si Lan answered irrelevantly: "When you wanted to coexist peacefully with humans, you should have known that this would happen sooner or later."
From what you said, it seems like you don't object?
Long Ying lowered his head in surprise: "So, you don't mind?"
"casual."
Si Lan, who dislikes humans the most, doesn’t even mind!
Su Caifeng looked at the beast carefully and asked, "What made you change your mind?"
Si Lan didn't say anything.
Su Caifeng asked again: "What if the worst-case scenario we anticipated happens?"
Si Lan stood up, his ears drooping from the ground, and then he transformed into a human form. Facing the direction of the bright light from the kindergarten, he said calmly, "We'll do the same thing now as we did before."
He laughed: "Hasn't he killed enough people?"
"Those signed with humans..."
Si Lan turned around slowly, as if remembering something, and said with a half-smile: "Whoever breaks the contract first should be the one to worry about this matter. Just because you can get in doesn't mean you can get out."
The other two monsters looked at each other and couldn't help but recall how Si Lan looked when he stood on the battlefield many years ago. They all shuddered. Now he was going crazy, and they didn't know who could suppress him now.
But although it's a bit crazy, it does make sense.
It was a mutually restrictive treaty, and whoever violated it first would be at fault. Thinking of this, Long Ying also agreed: "Then I will talk to Teacher Lian Jiu tomorrow and let her make the choice."
Then he said, "By the way, you guys are in the mountains recently, so please pay more attention to Bai Ze's situation."
"That's right!" Su Caifeng slapped his head, "What's going on with Bai Ze?"
"Could it be related to Teacher Lian Jiu?" Long Ying pondered, "It was the same when Bai Ze was born."
Speaking of this, Su Caifeng was extremely curious: "Where did you find Teacher Lian Jiu?"
Long Ying glanced at Si Lan: "He heard it."
Si Lan did not comment.
Chaotianhu conveys the will of heaven and the feelings of the people, so one should be more sensitive to this. At that time, the kindergarten was in the most anxious period of recruiting a principal. Long Ying dragged Si Lan to the Municipal Bureau and insisted that he choose a demon god.
But the demon gods who knew each other were very familiar with each other, so they naturally knew each other's character.
Especially Si Lan, he is the special case who might eat the little monster if he is unhappy.
After staying in the Municipal Bureau for a few days, Si Lan became impatient. On the last day, when he was about to bring Pi Xiu back to make up the number, Si Lan suddenly changed his mind and pointed in a direction.
Then Long Ying saw Lian Jiu who appeared out of nowhere. He thought she was the right match, so he hurriedly coaxed her to the Municipal Bureau to sign the contract.
Su Caifeng asked, "Si Lan, don't you know what kind of demon Teacher Lian Jiu is?"
Si Lan didn't even turn his head: "I don't know."
Long Ying waved his hand: "You'll know later, let's deal with the current situation first."
"What is it?"
Long Ying counted on his fingers, feeling particularly embarrassed: "If we want to recruit people, we have to pay them. How much salary can we get? Is it enough?"
"..." Su Caifeng retreated silently and said uncertainly, "Why don't you think about it again?"
-
There were three days off for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Because she planned to make about 500 monster mooncakes, Lian Jiu started planning to go out and buy ingredients the next day after she updated the video the night before the holiday. However, she found a special message when she was cleaning the background messages.
It was an advertising cooperation from a local cake shop.
Because of Shuang Liangliang's warning, even though the Monster Kindergarten has become popular recently for various reasons, Lian Jiu has no intention of taking any advertisements for the time being, but it is different for the cake shop.
The first is that it can actually solve her current needs, and it will definitely be much faster than doing it alone.
After all, there are so many monsters, even if you learn now, it will take a long time, and the quality cannot be guaranteed.
After much deliberation, Lian Jiu decided to go for an on-site inspection.
On the first day of the holiday, Lian Jiu arranged for Hua Ma and Yu Chongming to take the school bus to the mountains and move some things to Si Lan's place, and then he took Si Lan out of the mountains.
In fact, he originally wanted to bring Yu Chongming along, but when it comes to things like this, Si Lan, who has received "special care" from the medicinal beast, may have more advantages. Yu Chongming also said that traveling with the God is still a bit stressful for the time being.
When passing by the lake outside the school, Lian Jiu happened to bump into the baby turtle Fang Manman, who was rolling on the ground with his shell on his back and his four legs in the air.
Lian Jiu walked over and turned him over: "What's wrong?"
"Get some sun and grow taller." Fang slowly sat down on the ground and raised his head. "Teacher Jiujiu and Teacher Silan, where are you going?"
Lian Jiu: "We are going to the human world."
Fang Manman's eyes were filled with envy: "Human Realm... Turtle cub wants to go there too, right? He has to grow tall before he can go."
"right."
Fang Manman's eyes showed disappointment. He quickly lay down on his back with a snap, shaking his short legs and muttering, "Let that little turtle dry in the sun some more!"
I speak slowly to begin with, so when I'm anxious, I sound particularly awkward.
Lian Jiu was touched by his cuteness and leaned over to gently rub his head. Then he thought of something and turned to look at Si Lan: "What do you think, can we take him out with us?"
Even though Si Lan was always confident about everything, he was still surprised by her bold approach: "Get out?"
Upon hearing this, the little turtle stopped shaking its short legs and lay on its back, staring at Teacher Jiujiu with both anticipation and fear.
Lian Jiu was very confident in Si Lan: "With you around, nothing should go wrong."
"And gradually, the older kids are able to control themselves well during these days of live streaming."
"What are your thoughts now?"
"Many kindergartens have outdoor development activities," Lian Jiu said. "Although we have outdoor activities, they are just where the children live. They have never seen the outside world. If it is feasible to gradually go out, we can try to carry out outdoor development in the human world with the older children in the future. This will be more effective than just talking about it on paper."
"May I?"
Si Lan's exposed ears moved, and he somehow remembered what Long Ying said: What if the worst-case scenario happens?
Si Lan stared at Lian Jiu with dark eyes for a while, then raised his lower lip and said, "Whatever."
Lian Jiu inexplicably felt a chill under his gaze, but seeing Si Lan was in his normal state, he didn't think much of it. He leaned over and said slowly, "Can you keep the tortoise shell away today?"
"Yes!!" The tortoise shell on Fang Manman's back disappeared instantly. He rolled on the ground and stood up. "Teacher Jiujiu, be obedient!"
Lian Jiu: "Then let's talk to your father."
Fang Manman's family lives in the grass by the lake. When he learned that Teacher Lian Jiu and Lord Si Lan were going to take his son out, Fang Manman's father was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly. He himself had only been out a few times!
My own son can be taken away when he is so young!
With Director Lian Jiu and the God Lord here, there is no need to worry about other problems!
In a hurry, Fang Manman's father's normal speaking speed returned to his nature and slowed down: "No, is there any problem?"
"Teacher Si Lan is here." Lian Jiu pushed Si Lan out. "As long as you agree, we will take good care of him."
Fang Manman's father glanced at the God cautiously and said, "I agree! Thank you, Director and God!"
"It's just that we don't have any suitable clothes at home." Father Turtle felt in his pocket and took out only a hundred yuan. He said shyly, "This is what I earned from screwing screws yesterday. Why don't you buy him a set of decent clothes, so that when he goes out, he can..."
The children in the mountains all dressed casually and in gray clothes, but although Principal Lian Jiu was dressed simply, he looked very good. Turtle's father was worried that the children would make it difficult for Teacher Lian Jiu to do his job.
"It's okay, don't worry about it." Lian Jiu picked up the turtle cub, which had completely turned into a little boy, and said, "We'll be fine like this slowly. You can save this money for later use."
As the turtle father repeated "be obedient, little turtle" a thousand times, Lian Jiu carried Fang slowly and walked out of the mountain gate with Si Lan.
This little turtle was indeed the one who secretly hid the rice balls. It was really heavy to carry, and we were walking on a mountain road. It took a while before we even reached the station, so we felt a little exhausted.
Fang Manman seemed to have noticed it and whispered, "Teacher Jiujiu, walk slowly by yourself."
If the turtle cub is allowed to go down the mountain by itself, it is not certain when it will arrive.
Si Lan walked leisurely on the side, not understanding why she would call him when she was about to fight or do something else, but now she was silent.
Seeing beads of sweat on her forehead and smiling as she tried to comfort the child, Si Lan raised his hand and lifted the clothes around the little turtle's neck: "Come."
His movements were very decisive. Lian Jiu wanted to say something, but Si Lan just held her for a moment and didn't let go, so she had to shut up.
The little turtle's head also shrank suddenly.
Mom and Dad told him to try not to offend the God when he went out. He turned back in panic, and the suffocation on his neck passed for a moment, and then he was hugged into a cold embrace.
She’s not as soft as Teacher Jiujiu, but she seems very safe.
The little turtle shrank obediently, but couldn't help but look up secretly and saw the God's chin. The mountain road was a bit bumpy, and the little turtle was afraid of falling, so he carefully reached out and slowly hugged the God's clothes, but the God didn't react.
It doesn’t seem as scary as my parents said.
When I found the cake shop according to the address, the owner who had already known the news was already standing at the door waiting.
When he saw Lian Jiu, the boss's eyes suddenly lit up.
This headmaster looks much better in person than in the live broadcast!
And she was actually accompanied by a very handsome man and a child!
The owner of this company first noticed Lian Jiu and Si Lan on Shuang Jingjing's account, and later followed them to the kindergarten's live broadcast. When she learned that Lian Jiu was going to take the people in the mountains to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together, she immediately seized the business opportunity.
First, Lian Jiu is currently receiving a lot of attention. Second, Lian Jiu is very good-looking and is still an amateur so won’t be very expensive. Third, the nature of the kindergarten also attracts a lot of social attention. Fourth, it is very compatible with the products in the store. Regardless of whether it is true or not, she does feel sorry for those children and wants to have direct contact with the head teacher Lian Jiu. It just so happens that Lian Jiu and she are in the same place.
The boss didn't expect that Si Lan would come too, he's so handsome!!!
"Hello, hello." The boss walked up excitedly and introduced himself, "My name is Wei Jingxuan."
Lian Jiu extended his hand and said softly, "Hello, my name is Lian Jiu, and I'm the principal of the Monster Kindergarten. This is Si Lan, also our teacher."
Si Lan nodded slightly.
I don’t know why, even though the other person is not a star, not even an internet celebrity, Wei Jingxuan always feels like she is chasing a star and is unreasonably nervous.
Moreover, the principal is so gentle!
She saw the child in Si Lan's arms again. As someone who often watched live broadcasts, she immediately recognized it as the baby Manman who always said he was a turtle cub. "Is this Manman?"
Fang Manman didn't expect that humans actually knew him, and that humans actually looked similar to him!
He recalled the etiquette his teachers had taught him, and remembered his father's words about being obedient. He mustered up the courage to say, "Hello, my name is Fang Manman."
The child spoke a little slowly, but in a childish voice. Wei Jingxuan was struck by this and held her heart: "So cute!"
She asked, "Can I touch your face?"
The little turtle looked at Teacher Jiujiu in confusion. Can humans touch monsters?
Lian Jiu smiled and said, "This aunt likes you, just like the teachers."
Fang slowly nodded: "Okay."
Wei Jingxuan couldn't wait to touch the child's face. It was soft and smooth, without a trace of makeup! She breathed a sigh of relief. The child was just so adorable!
"Let's go inside and talk." Wei Jingxuan led the three of them inside. "But I didn't expect you to bring your child with you."
Lian Jiu explained, "When I came here today, I happened to see him sunbathing by the lake. He's never been out of the mountain, so I told his parents and brought him here to see me."
Wei Jingxuan was a little surprised: "Can you bring children with you in the mountains?"
"We're all family." Lian Jiu said with a smile, "That's all we have."
Wei Jingxuan had a plan in mind. Everyone in the village knew each other and seemed to have a good relationship. Moreover, the parents all trusted Lian Jiu, so she was more sincere: "Let me introduce our store to you."
The cake shop is called LK, which means Lucky. It is an old shop in the local city. Now the store manager has opened several more branches after taking over from his family. Since he is not very old, he also wants to develop online sales channels for local stores, so he also has the idea of advertising.
Lian Jiu also made his purpose clear: "Advertising is fine, but we need to understand the environment and quality of your home. This account is for our children, so if there is any mistake, the impact will be very bad."
"That's no problem," said Wei Jingxuan, who was also responsible for her own store. "I'll show you around. You can pick any cakes to try. They're all made fresh daily and won't be left overnight. You can check out other stores too, not just this one."
The cake shop has just been renovated. The environment is very nice and warm, and the operation room at the back is also very clean.
When it was his turn to taste the pastries, Lian Jiu clearly noticed that Si Lan, who had been lacking interest, now had a brighter look in his eyes.
The little turtle couldn't help but stare at the cake he had never seen before.
Wei Jingxuan asked, "Should I pick out some samples for you? Or should you do it yourself?"
Lian Jiu was silent for a moment: "Can I try them all?"
"?"
If I ordered all the cakes in the store, it would not be a small portion. Wei Jingxuan hesitated: "It's a bit too much. Will it hurt my body?"
Lian Jiu was a little embarrassed: "The appetites of our kindergarten children are pretty good."
Recalling the scene of the children eating, Wei Jingxuan immediately understood and simply asked the waiter to serve a portion of all the pastries. However, since this was her first time seeing such a scene, she asked, "Can I take a picture? If there's an opportunity to work together in the future, it can also be used as material."
Lian Jiu thought it could also be used as material for today's video, so he nodded in agreement.
Next, Wei Jingxuan and the shop assistants witnessed with their own eyes how the two, one big and one small, sucked in all the pastries on the table like a storm.
Even some customers who came in to buy things couldn't help but stop and watch.
What's going on? What happened?
He looked like he was eating so elegantly, but the food was gone in a short while!
The customers were surprised and puzzled, but their appetites were also stimulated: "Is it really that delicious?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at the handsome guy and the child's flat stomach.
It's getting outrageous.
The waiter brought two glasses of juice, one large and one small, which I finished as well.
This is pastry, you won’t feel sick even if you eat so much sweet food!
The little turtle sat next to Si Lan. Its movements were slow, but it ate quite quickly, grunting. It was so absorbed in eating that it wanted to move its tail with joy.
Where no one noticed, a short tail was faintly visible.
Lian Jiu knew the habits of the children and naturally kept paying attention to them, and his scalp immediately went numb.
Wei Jingxuan stood beside the little turtle and always felt that something was wrong. She subconsciously lowered her head and saw Si Lan gently pressed Fang Manman's head in between eating, and there was nothing unusual.
Are you dazzled?
Seeing this, Lian Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. Her stomach couldn't handle so much food, so she only tasted a few. However, she trusted Si Lan's words, so she asked, "How is it?"
Si Lan finished the last of the red velvet cake slowly and calmly: "It's okay."
Lian Jiu couldn't help but secretly criticize his arrogant personality. "How can you still eat so much without blinking an eye?!"
Wei Jingxuan wasn't sure what this meant: "Then..."
Lian Jiu automatically translated: "He thinks it's delicious."
Wei Jingxuan's face lit up: "Then can we discuss cooperation?"
"OK."
The final cooperation plan discussed was that Wei Jingxuan would provide two mooncakes to everyone in the mountains for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and pay an advertising fee of 50,000 yuan, half of which would be paid first after signing the contract.
The advertising format follows Lian Jiu's idea. In the next month, the store's cakes and name will appear in the kindergarten's videos, including mooncakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival. These cakes are provided by the store and can be regarded as afternoon tea for the children.
In fact, according to the current value of the Lianjiu account, it cannot get such a high advertising fee, let alone provide mooncakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
But Wei Jingxuan really likes children, and the little turtle cubs are so cute, and it is obvious that they are well taken care of.
She is not short of money and knows that the conditions in the mountains are difficult, so she thinks it is a way to contribute a little of her own strength.
After finalizing the details, the two signed the contract on the spot. Wei Jingxuan transferred 25,000 yuan to Lian Jiu in person and said, "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation and have opportunities to work together in the future."
"Thanks."
When the two walked out, Si Lan and Fang slowly stood at the door of the store, staring intently at the mooncakes that the store clerks had just made and put on display.
Fang Manman was no longer afraid of the Divine Lord. He wrinkled his nose, tugged at Si Lan's clothes, and swallowed his saliva: "Teacher Si Lan, this tastes different."
"Um."
Fang slowly looked forward to it: "Can we eat it then?"
Si Lan thought about it and decided that this was probably beyond the scope of a tasting, but his salary was stuck with Lian Jiu, and he didn't know if he could spare some money. Forget it, it seemed like he still had to recruit humans, and the salary might not be enough.
So he calmly covered the little turtle's eyes and said, "Just bear with it."
Lien Jiu: "..."
Lord God, you dropped your baggage.
Wei Jingxuan was almost dying of laughter at the sight of these two big eaters, and quickly asked the waiter to pack up two more servings.
After coming out of LK, thinking that it was Fang Manman's first time in the human world, Lian Jiu took the child and Si Lan for a walk, and taught the child to recognize what was around them. They didn't go back until evening.
After returning, Lian Jiu edited the video of the day slightly, compared the completion level with Wei Jingxuan, and sent out the first advertisement on the account.
Soon there were many comments under the video.
[Oh my god, is this the guy who took photos with Lian Jiu on Shuang Liangliang's account?! The video is so handsome too, oh my god!]
【How can you eat so fast and look so handsome! 】
[Zizi is Manman, right? He's not wearing a tortoise shell today, but he's still so cute. How adorable are these two, big and small, eating so seriously!]
[A huge table of desserts. Normally, I would have fainted, but they were eating with such relish!]
[Can the head teacher take the children out at will? ]
[You guys are really following my expectations, starting with live streaming and accepting advertisements, and you're also going to promote products in the future, right?]
[Hey, marketing account, they actually use children in their ads. Aren’t they afraid that the children will get sick from eating too much? Or are they just faking eating?]
"Is the person in front new? Don't you know how much our children eat? I didn't expect the handsome guy to eat so much. Are all the people in your mountain village reincarnated gluttons?"
[I was there and watched the entire tasting. Click on my homepage for other perspectives. I can testify that they weren't faking it. Even after finishing the meal, these two people were still not satisfied.]
[+1 for the scene, I was shocked. 】
LK is a long-standing brand here. I didn't expect it to advertise, but their pastries have always been good.
[Yes, it tastes delicious. Can I buy it online?]
Seeing that the comment section is relatively controllable and there are no negative comments about LK, Lian Jiu is relieved for the time being.
At this time, I saw several private messages sent from the background.
Sunflower Kindergarten: "Excuse me, is this the Monster Kindergarten? Could you please give me the contact information of your principal?"
They are actually in the same industry?
Lian Jiu replied: "What's the matter?"
Sunflower Kindergarten: "We are planning to organize a staff exchange and learning session with your kindergarten, so we would like to contact the principal."
Exchange and learning?
When he was a kindergarten teacher, Lian Jiu often went to other schools to learn with other teachers. This kind of exchange is very common among ordinary kindergartens.
She thought about it and realized that although the current kindergarten teachers had received her training, there was still a certain gap between them and the kindergarten teachers outside, and their understanding and knowledge of the human world was limited.
Adult monsters are definitely more controllable than small monsters. If small monsters can go out, there is no reason why big monsters cannot go.
There are definitely more benefits to learning.
So she gave her contact information to the other party, intending to find out the situation first.
It was getting late, and the other party said that they would ask the head teacher there to communicate with her.
Lian Jiu also wanted to take some time to meet with the teachers to discuss this matter, so he put away his phone temporarily and went to Si Lan.
Huama and Yu Chongming had already asked Huama to move all the necessary things over.
While it's still dark, Lian Jiu plans to try out the projection effect, after all, open-air movies can only be watched at night.
Sitting on the small school bus in the mountains, Lian Jiu finally didn't have to walk there himself.
She now feels that the school bus not only brings convenience to children and parents, but also to herself.
Silan is indeed very different from other places in the mountains. It is near the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the moon is very bright at night. The moonlight shines brightly on the mountains, as if covered with a layer of faint white light. However, when you look up from Silan, you can't see the top of the mountain shrouded in fog, but you can see a clear line below the fog. Looking up, there is no vegetation or animals, just a bare area with faint snow, and below is a lush mountain forest with a small waterfall.
The things were placed in the mountain pond on the mountainside.
The water in the pond is very clear, and the edge of the pond is surrounded by flowers and plants. Further out are mountains, rocks, and trees. Near the end of the mountain is a huge rock that seems to have been cut in half, which is just right for hanging a curtain.
Besides, this is Si Lan's territory, so there is no need to worry about electricity.
Lian Jiu couldn't fly, so the job of hanging the screen and placing the projector was done by Yu Chongming and Hua Ma. She randomly found a movie to play and stood on the ground to direct, ensuring that she could see all the images.
After debugging, Lian Jiu didn't rush to turn it off, because Yu Chongming and Hua Ma hadn't seen it yet and were now sitting in the front row. The former pointed at the screen excitedly: "It looks like an enlarged computer screen!"
Lian Jiu nodded: "You can use it this way."
"Humanity truly possesses so many strange and fascinating things. No wonder we're drawn to the human world." Yu Chongming asked curiously, "Is this a movie? Are they showing us these people's lives so we can learn from them?"
"No." Lian Jiu shook his head slightly. "It's just like the stories in the old days, performed by these actors for the audience. It's a way for humans to relax and have fun."
Yu Chongming nodded: "Like those opera singers?"
“Almost,” Lian Jiu said, “but now we have people performing operas too. That’s a kind of cultural inheritance.”
Yu Chongming and Hua Ma had never heard of this before, and soon they were immersed in the plot with great interest.
Lian Jiu had seen the movie and was familiar with the plot, she was just accompanying the two curious monsters.
After a while, I suddenly remembered that Si Lan was also here.
There's no way he didn't hear such a loud noise, why didn't he come over?
In order not to disturb the two monsters watching the movie, Lian Jiu took out her phone and sent a message. Before that, she had also taught Si Lan how to use WeChat proficiently: "Are you busy? Do you want to come watch the movie with us?"
After the message was sent, Lian Jiu received a reply every now and then: "I'm here."
Is he there?
Lian Jiu looked around and finally saw a figure in white in the woods behind him.
Si Lan was still sitting on the tree, and no one knew how long he had been there.
Lian Jiu sent a message: "Why don't you come over? Can you see it from there?"
This time, it took a while for the other end to send a message: "I can hear you."
This isn't the radio!
Lian Jiu stood up and walked back gently until he reached the tree where Si Lan was. From here, he could only see a blurry figure on the curtain.
Here, you can talk without worrying about disturbing the two monsters. Lian Jiu raised his head and said, "If you rely solely on listening, there's no point in coming here. You can hear it anywhere."
Si Lan didn't say anything, but just leaned his head against the tree trunk.
Lian Jiu waved his hand: "Come on, I'll teach you where is the best place to watch the movie."
Si Lan raised his eyebrows, then looked at Yu Chongming and Hua Ma who were sitting in front of the curtain, wishing they could stick their heads in, and still said nothing.
Lian Jiu vaguely understood something.
Whether it was the monsters or the demon gods in the mountains, they were all somewhat afraid of Si Lan, and he seemed to never get close to these monsters.
"We're all here at your house," Lian Jiu said. "Why are you so reserved?"
Si Lan gave a short laugh: "Reserved?"
"Come on, come on." Lian Jiu lowered his voice, "I even prepared some snacks for the movie. Do you want to try some?"
“…”
After a long silence, Si Lan descended from the tree. "Where?"
Lian Jiu smiled and walked forward with him: "Let's keep our voices down. It's impolite to disturb other audience members during a movie."
Si Lan snorted: "Don't teach me like a little monster."
The two monsters in front were like children addicted to animation. They sat in the first row with their necks stretched out, having no idea what was happening behind them.
Lian Jiu and Si Lan sat down in the middle and took out some snacks from the grass beside them, including bags of popcorn, which didn't taste very good. Thanks to Wei Jingxuan's sponsorship, she was particularly willing to spend money when she asked Huama to buy snacks.
These are for the monsters, and there is one at every seat.
After stuffing the things into Si Lan's arms, Lian Jiu walked to the front again and took out snacks from the bushes for the two monsters, treating them equally.
Si Lan gently opened the bag in his hand and put the sweet stuff inside into his mouth, giving off a hint of sweetness. He had eaten too many sweets today.
Then he saw Lian Jiu come back quietly and sit down beside him. He also opened a bag and ate while saying, "You eat first, and I'll fill in after you finish."
Si Lan tilted his head slightly and said slowly, "You are very experienced."
"It's okay. I used to go to the movies often, and eating something is more of a ritual." She smiled. "If someone can go with me, that would be even better. We can discuss the plot quietly together."
Si Lan hummed, "Even though I've lost my memory, I still remember these things very clearly."
Lian Jiu paused and blinked gently.
Oops, I didn't realize I was talking about the past.
She said, “Maybe I remember it subconsciously.”
Si Lan said casually, "Since you subconsciously remember it, then someone must have accompanied you to see it. You don't remember those people? They won't look for you?"
Lian Jiu picked up a piece of popcorn and lowered his eyes: "I don't know, maybe I can't find it."
My family used to consist of the director of the orphanage and the children.
When she grew up, she was busy with work and could only go back to visit when she had a break, or take the children out to play, and she also watched movies with them a few times.
She had been here for so many days, but she hadn't thought about the things over there. She just occasionally felt that it was fortunate that she grew up in an orphanage and left there. Even if she disappeared, no one would find it too strange. After all, there were many people who left the orphanage and never heard from again.
Si Lan uttered an "oh" and ate the popcorn in his hand in a few bites. He then went to touch the snacks on other seats. He didn't mind taking other monsters' things at all. He opened them and ate them. He talked about whatever came to his mind, and the topic did not slow down at all: "What is this story about?"
"ah?"
Lian Jiu hadn't felt melancholy for a few seconds when he was pulled back to look at the curtain. Yu Chongming and Hua Ma in the front were both laughing happily. Listening to their laughter, Lian Jiu thought for a while: "The background is one of the Four Great Classical Novels. It tells the story of Sun Wukong before he and his master set out to obtain the scriptures. Putting aside the love story, it's a comedy. Now it's the part where the male protagonist uses the Moonlight Box to travel through time and space to save the person he loves."
Si Lan didn't know if he heard it or not. The sound of biting popcorn was very crisp and kept ringing. He took it after he finished eating. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the snacks were in his hand.
Lian Jiu didn't say anything else, letting him continue watching, but Si Lan opened another box of sweet milk and asked, "Travel through time and space?"
Lian Jiu nodded: "It means traveling back in time and starting over again, to save someone."
Si Lan sneered: "There is such a thing."
"It's fake." Lian Jiu didn't expect him to be so serious. "This is a movie."
Si Lan hummed nonchalantly, "I know."
After watching a movie, there was a small pile of empty bags at Si Lan's feet. It was unbelievable that he could eat so much without getting fat.
Yu Chongming and Hua Ma, who had stood up and turned back, also noticed who was sitting behind them at this moment: "Lord Si Lan?!"
"Yeah." Si Lan raised his eyes and saw the two demons' momentum suddenly dropped. He curled his lips and said softly, "Don't be shy in my house."
The two monsters were stunned.
Si Lan stood up, raised his foot and gently kicked the garbage at his feet, thinking for a second: "Where is my trash can?"
It seems that he has learned a lot in these days in kindergarten.
"..." Yu Chongming almost laughed out loud, "I'll do it, I'll do it."
"I'll do it." Si Lan was very stubborn. "This is my home. Don't make it seem like you know it better than I do."
Yu Chongming had no choice but to point him in the direction. Seeing the back of the God throwing away the garbage always felt unreal. He walked to the headmaster and whispered, "I suddenly feel that the God is a little down to earth."
"Yeah." Lian Jiu said softly, "He sat in the back and watched a movie with you guys. Didn't you guys do anything?"
Yu Zhongming scratched his head: "It seems so."
At this time, Si Lan walked back and seemed not to hear what they were saying.
Lian Jiu stood up and prepared to turn off the projector: "It's too late, let's go back first and come back tomorrow."
Si Lan nodded, and suddenly frowned.
Noticing his condition, Lian Jiu paused and asked, "What's wrong?"
Si Lan's expression was blank for a moment, then he returned to normal and sat down in his previous seat: "It's okay."
"fine?"
Lian Jiu seemed to have never seen him frown.
Carefully observing Si Lan's expression, he saw that he was sitting upright with one hand resting on his stomach. Lian Jiu was silent for a moment, "Did you eat too much today?"
“…”
