Stars shine
"Mr. Peacock!" Two days later, Xue Luo saw Peacock coming to the small supermarket again, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Who wouldn't appreciate the influx of traffic to their online store these past few days? Xueluo had already earned nearly a hundred thousand yuan in just three days, so busy she barely had time to manage her business. If it weren't for robots in this alliance era, she'd have to hire someone. Of course, she wouldn't hire anyone unless it was an emergency.
For now, the transport robot can solve her problems.
The sincere welcome and sweet smile on Xueluo's face made Peacock's heart, which had originally died down, beat very fast again, and he felt that he was able to do it again.
"Miss Xueluo." After learning that Xueluo was a healer, Peacock felt both respect and admiration for her. In Xueluo's eyes, he felt that his attitude was a little strange compared to before, or even overly friendly.
Of course, in the eyes of the white cat, it was just a yellow-haired creature that appeared out of nowhere.
"Mr. Peacock, thank you for recommending me on Xingbo."
Kong Que felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He tilted his head slightly and stroked his head with one hand, "You already know everything... But Miss Xueluo, your snacks are really delicious, so I recommended them to my fans..."
The white cat had walked to Xue Luo's side without anyone noticing, and its pair of blue eyes were staring at the man opposite with a fierce look.
Peacock successfully got half of the words to be said, but the remaining half could not be uttered in his cold and animalistic eyes.
"No matter what, I still want to thank you." Seeing that he stopped talking, Xueluo smiled and said, "How about this, you're here to shop today anyway, so you can take advantage of anything you like, and I'll give you the bill for free."
Of course not!
Peacock had never seen such an easygoing healer. After learning that the snacks in this store were most likely her training materials, he felt that he had been getting a bargain at the previous prices, and now she was giving them to him for free...
"I've come all this way with great difficulty, and you're really at a disadvantage."
Xueluo didn't think she was at a disadvantage: "No, no!"
Under her gaze and dimpled smile, Peacock's heart beat faster and he nodded involuntarily.
"Meow~" A low growl interrupted their conversation and shifted Xue Luo's attention to the white cat.
At the same time, Xie Xinghe, who came from the repair shop to buy a drink, also saw the strange young man facing Xue Luo. He always felt that the other party looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
However, at this moment, Xie Xinghe noticed Kong Que occasionally glancing at Xue Luo, and he immediately became alert. "Luoluo, get me two cans of Coke, two cans of Sprite, and a bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips!"
Xie Xinghe directly inserted himself between them, and then seemed to notice the peacock on the side for the first time: "Hey, Luoluo, you have a guest!"
He and the white cat were now on the same side. Even when looking at the peacock, he felt that he had bad intentions and was deliberately digging up his own tender cabbage.
Xie Xinghe completely treated Xue Luo as his own sister. After all, his master treated Xue Luo like his own daughter.
But Peacock didn't know that a boy of the same age suddenly appeared at this moment, and he immediately felt a sense of crisis, "Who is this..."
"Xie Xinghe, my friend." Xue Luo said frankly.
Peacock frowned slightly, and his eyes were full of sparks when he looked at the man and the cat. Of course, the man and the cat looked at him, the outsider, in the same way.
"Mr. Peacock, would you please pick one?" Xue Luo was only concerned with making money at the moment. After saying this to Peacock, she went to get things for Xie Xinghe. Peacock, who originally wanted to say that there was no need to use the honorific, did not have the time to say this.
"Your name is Snow White, right? Why do you hate me so much?" Peacock was puzzled. When he went to the cat cafe in the past, he was often rubbed by many cats. But the cat in front of him was not only aloof, but also looked at him with a look that was hard to describe.
Peacock subconsciously stretched out a hand, wanting to touch him, but the cat dodged without giving him any face, and even opened his mouth and let out a hoarse cry, with a dangerous light surging in the depths of his blue eyes.
At this moment, the peacock felt as if it was its prey.
Inexplicably, as if sensing danger, cold sweat broke out on his back. A kind of oppression from race and power made him surrender.
However, the white cat was just trying to teach him a lesson. Seeing how cowardly he was, a very human sneer appeared on the cat's face.
Peacock:"……"
What to do? He was despised by a cat.
"Mr. Peacock! Are you okay?" Xueluo only noticed this at this moment and quickly looked at the cat with a scolding look, "This is a guest, don't be so rude!"
The white cat snorted, looking very angry, and didn't even bother to pay attention to her, just curled up in the corner.
Xue Luo: “…” I don’t know what’s wrong with him today.
"Mr. Peacock, Snow White is acting a little strangely today. Are you okay?"
"Of course I'm fine, how could I be scared by a cat!" Peacock reiterated.
"Miss Xueluo, no, Xueluo, can I call you that? You don't have to call me Mr. Peacock all the time, just call me Peacock." Peacock said shyly, which was rare for him.
Xie Xinghe rolled his eyes. What an old-fashioned pick-up line. Is this a primary school student?
Xue Luo certainly didn't think there was anything strange about it and agreed without hesitation.
"Mr. Kong, are you here to buy something?" Xie Xinghe said from the side.
He wanted to say a few more words to Xueluo: "..."
"Mr. Xie, thank you for reminding me." Peacock gritted his teeth, wishing he could nail Xie Xinghe, the blind guy, to the door wall.
"Thank you for the 120 yuan. Bye!" Xueluo said with a smile, "You're welcome to come again next time, Peacock."
It was this sentence that made Peacock, who had been feeling a little lost, suddenly full of hope. His tone softened a lot: "I'll come back in a few days... to buy snacks."
As for the angry glares from the man and cat next to him, he just selectively ignored them.
As soon as Kong Que left, Xie Xinghe said, "Luoluo, why does the name Kong Que sound familiar to me?"
Xueluo said, "You forgot, my online store suddenly had a lot of people coming in the past two days. They were brought here by Kong Que. He's a painter. Well, I heard from Meimei that Meimei really likes his paintings."
Xie Xinghe's eyes widened. "Wait a minute—he's the up-and-coming painter Kong Que... No wonder I felt he looked familiar." Although Xie Xinghe was indeed a little surprised by Kong Que's identity, he subconsciously frowned when he recalled the look he had given Xue Luo just now. "Luoluo, you should be more careful. I have a feeling he has bad intentions!"
"Probably not?" Xueluo thought for a moment, "This Mr. Peacock has always been quite a gentleman, and... he just seems difficult to get along with, but he's actually quite easy to talk to."
Xie Xinghe: "...I'm not asking you to find his strengths."
The white cat was speechless.
Xueluo looked at them and their cat, "...Why are you acting so strange today?"
One person and one cat: "..." That's because you are too slow.
**
Capital Star, Rose District.
Dream base.
This is the most famous holographic film and television base in the entire alliance. Nearly 95% of the scenery and filming for the alliance's hit TV series and movies takes place here. For example, Xueluo loves to watch melodramatic romances between handsome men and beautiful women, whether they're about ancient technological royal romances or modern space battles and romances. In the past year, the rising star Tang Yingyu, who has starred in two or three popular romantic dramas across the alliance, has recently been acting here.
The Rose Castle was built for the new drama "Rose Princess". The color of the whole building is a dreamy light pink, and the climbing roses are allowed to bloom in the sea of flowers. After the breakup drama between the Rose Princess and the White King of the Alliance Empire era, Tang Yingyu can finally take a break.
She glanced at the handsome actor opposite her, but when she thought of his tone and the kissing scene that was about to happen, she became extremely irritated.
But the male actor didn't realize what was going on. As soon as the filming was over, he chased after her: "Ms. Tang, Miss Tang..."
Tang Yingyu pretended not to hear, holding up the complicated skirt from the White King era, and ran very fast even in her high heel crystal shoes. She exchanged glances with her agent, who tried to stop her. The agent didn't know what he remembered, and suddenly looked embarrassed.
Tang Yingyu took the opportunity to run to her own rest room in the crew.
As soon as she closed the door to the lounge, she breathed a sigh of relief and said unhappily, "What are you following? Can't you see I don't want to talk to you? Go find a rich woman to cover for you. I don't have that kind of taste!"
The most important thing is that this actor is really too narcissistic. It’s okay for him to make sacrifices for acting, but he doesn’t want to waste his expressions at all outside the play.
Sitting comfortably in the massage chair, Tang Yingyu glanced at the time of the next scene and decided to relax first. Of course, she subconsciously opened her Xingbo.
certainly!
It's a small one.
It's a joke. Who dares to use their main account to browse around these days? If they accidentally click on something, there will be a bunch of haters and entertainment reporters on Starnet who will say nonsense when they catch them. For the sake of their own safety, it's better to use a small account.
Tang Yingyu first browsed her own super topic, enjoying the rainbow farts from her fans, of course ignoring some of the taunts from her haters, who were just sour grapes. A magnanimous young actress like her wouldn't bother with these internet lunatics.
"Hey... are you talking about these Huaxia snacks again?" Suddenly, she came across a post by a popular fan on the topic, raving about a snack shop called Huaxia Snack Shop. The pictures she'd taken of the crystal-clear jellies, colorful lollipops, and adorable popsicles made Tang Yingyu's heart flutter just looking at them. However, she quickly scrolled past it. "No, Old Tan has told me to control my diet lately, so I can't even touch these snacks!"
To maintain her beauty, Tang Yingyu herself never touches these things. Of course, she's able to maintain her current appearance, and even become known as a natural beauty in the entertainment industry, because she never relies on any cosmetic procedures, maintaining her natural beauty. She's also very disciplined with her diet. Her ruthlessness is so strong that many female celebrities admire her.
"Tang Yingyu, wake up, these just look cute! They are junk food!" After convincing herself with great difficulty, although she still felt a little sad when she thought of the crystal-clear and cute light pink jelly in the small cup that looked like a cherry blossom, she couldn't taste it anyway. As long as she told herself that it was very unpalatable, she slowly let go of her obsession.
Tang Yingyu lay on the massage chair and suddenly she didn't feel like reading Xingbo anymore. She was afraid that she would be in trouble if she looked at a food blog post like this again!
Suddenly, she smelled a strange smell while lying there. To be more precise, it was a strong stench mixed with the aroma of food. The combination of these two smells really hit her.
"What the hell is this smell!" Tang Yingyu covered her nose as soon as she smelled it, and said with disgust.
Especially this unique stench that seemed to be there and not there, light yet strong, as if there were many ingredients covering up the expired stench, which made Tang Yingyu a little unbearable...
And a little greedy.
greedy?
No no no!!!
Tang Yingyu refused to admit it.
"I just want to see who's so lacking in public ethics as to eat something like this?" Of course, the crew wasn't just human; there were races from every planet in the Alliance, and everyone ate all sorts of things. However, this was the first time Tang Yingyu had smelled something so strong-flavored... No, no, no, it wasn't necessarily food.
She followed the charming yet unpleasant aroma into the depths of the corridor, and unknowingly stopped outside the door of Group A's dressing room. At this moment, makeup artist Yu Jia, who was enjoying a bowl of stinky tofu in the room, suddenly looked up and was frightened to see Tang Yingyu standing outside.
"T-Teacher Tang!" The makeup artist stared at the door she had forgotten to close in frustration. She shouldn't have let her guard down, assuming everyone would be filming at the castle during this time. Now, this smell was unacceptable to most people. Teacher Tang must be pissed!
Holding a bowl of stinky tofu in her hand, she was trying to figure out how to explain it when she suddenly noticed the other person's eyes were fixed on her hand.
"Teacher Tang...?" Yu Jia called out tentatively.
"Yeah!" Tang Yingyu immediately shifted her gaze with difficulty and looked at Yu Jia's face.
Yu Jia's face was filled with panic and worry. "Teacher Tang, I'm sorry, I..."
"What is this?" For the first time, Tang Yingyu couldn't help herself and didn't follow Yu Jia's routine at all.
"Ah, this is stinky tofu! It's..." Yu Jia's mind suddenly flashed. "My idol, Peacock, recently recommended it to me. I found it at Huaxia Snack Shop. Although it smells a bit weird, it's really delicious!"
Of course, Yu Jia didn't dare to recommend it to a young star like Tang Yingyu. She was just afraid that she would misunderstand that she was eating something strange, so she tried hard to explain.
But Tang Yingyu was really a little curious. It smelled so bad, but there was a damn charm that attracted her.
It’s not delicious, not delicious, not delicious! Tang Yingyu, wake up!
But what came out of his mouth was: "Can I... try it?"
Yu Jia was shocked. "You...Teacher Tang, do you really want to eat?"
Tang Yingyu nodded reservedly, and Yu Jia suddenly became a little flustered. She looked left and right, and of course she closed the door tightly at the first moment, and then turned on the fresh air system to circulate fresh air in the house.
"But you may not be used to it." Yu Jia said this, but in fact she was very happy. She took a pair of clean chopsticks and handed them to Tang Yingyu.
The stinky tofu in the box is soaked in juice, and the fried black skin looks crispy. The surface is covered with chili, minced garlic, and chopped green onions, giving off a strong smell that is both stinky and extremely tempting.
Tang Yingyu couldn't help swallowing: "Let me try?"
Yu Jia nodded.
Tang Yingyu picked up a piece and prepared herself mentally, but the moment she ate it, she completely ignored its stinky smell. The soft and glutinous tofu had such rich textures that she wanted to eat more.
Soon, she ate up all the remaining stinky tofu in the bowl by herself, and even the small pieces of pickled radish as a side dish tasted so refreshing that she felt happy.
"Not bad!" Due to her personality, Tang Yingyu still praised in a reserved manner.
Yu Jia glanced at the bottom of her bowl, which she had finished after she had only eaten two or three pieces. "...That's good."
Just when Tang Yingyu was about to say something, she suddenly found a strange text box appearing in front of her.
It was clearly a text she couldn't understand, but it automatically turned into something she could understand in her mind: [Item: Stinky Tofu
Additional status: Beauty and attraction +3, lasting for 30 minutes, shining like a star, everyone who sees you will be conquered by you]
“???” Tang Yingyu’s shocked expression also frightened Yu Jia who was standing beside her.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing! I'm going to the bathroom!" Tang Yingyu was a celebrity after all, and she was knowledgeable. She discovered that she was surrounded by a warm light deep in her spiritual sea, and it didn't seem like an illusion. She immediately suspected that she had eaten something delicious.
Yu Jia had no doubts.
In the bathroom, Tang Yingyu, who was in surprise, couldn't help but search the Huaxia Snack Shop again. Sure enough, she saw people who had eaten snacks and were in the same situation as her. Although everyone on the Internet said that they were fun people, Tang Yingyu didn't think so now.
"This Boss Xue is no ordinary person!" She suspected that he was a healer, otherwise how could the snacks she sold have such a healing factor?
Soon, Tang Yingyu came out after brushing her teeth. Although she never liked making friends, she was willing to do it just to continue eating stinky tofu at Yu Jia's place. Yu Jia was a little flattered. She didn't expect that Tang Yingyu, who had always been difficult to get along with and was particularly cold in the crew, actually had a good temper... and could even accept such common food.
And after feeling the other party's kindness, although Yu Jia was a little bit unbelieving, he couldn't help but nodded.
"We agreed a long time ago. Can I come and take advantage of you in the future?" Tang Yingyu's beautiful face showed a pitiful and eager look. It was not a big screen so far away, but right in front of her. Even Yu Jia, a woman who loves men, couldn't help but feel her heart beating fast.
"Of course." A bowl of stinky tofu like this would only cost less than 10 Star Coins at the Huaxia Snack Shop. All it took was for the housekeeping robot to make it according to the instructions. It was painless and cost-free. Yu Jia readily agreed, not seeing any problem with it.
"Then let's put it this way!" After getting Yu Jia's accurate answer, Tang Yingyu subconsciously showed a satisfied smile.
There was no way Old Tan would let her eat such a strong-flavored food right now, and it was difficult for her to describe the additional effects she had just experienced. Even Yu Jia, who had eaten with her, hadn't tasted it, hadn't she?
Thinking of this, Tang Yingyu looked at Yu Jia and felt a little guilty towards her. She subconsciously took off the pearl bracelet she had taken out that morning from her left hand and put it on Yu Jia: "As a gift from a friend."
"How can this be possible!" As soon as Yu Jia saw the bracelet, he immediately remembered the entertainment reporter's valuation of it. This is a colorful pearl bracelet that is a specialty of Ocean Star. A string of this size 8 is worth at least 300,000 star coins.
Of course, as an accessory for a popular young actress, it is a bit cheap, but for a working person like Yu Jia, it is still a bit expensive.
"Why not? I've had your stinky tofu and I plan to eat it again." Tang Yingyu said, "Yu Jia, you have to keep it a secret for me. Otherwise, if my agent finds out, I won't be able to eat it anymore."
She looked at Yu Jia eagerly, and Yu Jia looked at her and felt that she was more beautiful and more heart-beating than before, so he agreed in a daze.
Tang Yingyu glanced at the time and said, "See you tomorrow. I'm going to film."
Yu Jia said, "Wait a moment."
She touched up Tang Yingyu's makeup.
Tang Yingyu looked at herself in the mirror. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt that she was more beautiful than before. Moreover, her rosy aura was nourishing and she looked more imposing.
When she walked onto the set, the fourth female lead and the fifth male lead, who played supporting roles, looked at her and said, "We just met a few moments ago, but now I realize that Teacher Tang is even more beautiful in the sunlight!"
"That's not true. Teacher Tang has always been beautiful, but she's even more beautiful today. It's like... it's like she's even more dazzling!"
Even her manager, Tan Xiu, came over to look at her. "Did you put on some makeup? This makeup suits you very well. You look better and more imposing than when you just left."
The director nodded and said, "Now she looks even more princess-like. Okay, we can start filming the rest of the scene!"
But Tang Yingyu was so happy that she died.
But I couldn't help but be curious. It was clearly just a simple snack, so how could it have the healing factor that only healers have?
This Chinese snack shop must be extraordinary!
However, this stinky tofu really smells bad, but it tastes so good! Tang Yingyu is not satisfied at all and can't wait for tomorrow to come.
