Just a few days ago, Gu Yumian found a treasure in the second-hand market of Xingwang——
A bag of catnip seeds.
Catnip didn't exist in this era, and this bag of seeds sat on the secondhand market for a long time, the seller calling it "wheat seeds unearthed from ancient Earth." Its price kept dropping, but no one bought it until Gu Yumian clicked on it.
Black shell with white tip...this is not a wheat seed, it's clearly a catnip seed!
Anyone who has ever owned a cat knows that catnip, when used in moderation, can greatly enhance a feline's quality of life and well-being.
Gu Yumian was immediately attracted and sent a message to the seller:
[Hello, is this bag of seeds still available? How much is it?]
The seller quickly replied: [Eight hundred star coins.]
The seller is a chinchilla, and every time he talks about this bag of seeds, he feels extremely heartbroken.
It bought the seeds at a high price from a merchant who had accompanied the army to ancient Earth. It spent nearly eight thousand star coins at the time. At that time, the merchant praised the bag of seeds to the sky - saying that many animals would be fascinated by it and the potential value of this bag of seeds was immeasurable.
The poor little chinchilla gritted his teeth and bought it, then consulted various botanists and tried various methods, but he just couldn't grow it.
Finally, it was taken to the local Academy of Sciences for identification, and the results said it was just a bag of ordinary discolored wheat seeds. It was ripped off by a black-hearted businessman.
Although eight hundred star coins was a bit expensive, it was still affordable for Gu Yumian, so he paid immediately.
When he bought them, Gu Yumian was actually worried that they wouldn't grow well because they were so old. He bought a high-nutrient substrate and fine soil, sand, and clay online, drilled planting holes according to the distance he remembered, and planted them in a sunny spot.
What he didn't expect was that catnip grew extremely fast!
Only four days had passed, and several lush clusters had grown out of the pot, even growing out of the pot. Gu Yumian had to cut some off.
"It seems that the soil in the interstellar era has very good nutrients," Gu Yumian was surprised and happy, because he was just a layman, but he had achieved such gratifying results. "It's so easy to grow it."
...If Mr. Totoro heard him say this, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Catnip actually has no obvious effects or side effects on cats' health. The effect is very short-lived, but it will make them feel very happy - of course, the amount must be controlled.
Now that he had so much catnip, Gu Yumian immediately began to think about how to use it to improve the life of the little snow leopard.
He should find a way to try it first, so how should he use it?
Gu Yumian thought for a while and soon came up with an idea.
"Tuan Tuan, you can take a bath again today," Gu Yumian held the little snow leopard's paw and coaxed it, "How about taking a small hot spring bath for you?"
The little snow leopard glanced at him in confusion. Hot springs? What strange talk was this human making again?
Ever since it heard about the newcomer project support quota yesterday, it has been trying to urge Gu Yumian to work hard on live streaming and increase his popularity, but this human has been hanging around a pile of grass leaves all day, which makes the little snow leopard very dissatisfied.
The most important thing is...
What is that blade of grass? Is it better than this? Why don't we just circle around it?
It was a long time later that Gu Yumian found out that the little snow leopard was actually jealous of a bowl of catnip. He used this incident to make fun of Shuo Han for a long time.
At this moment, Gu Yumian was only thinking about giving the little snow leopard a bath.
Cats don't need frequent baths, but it's been over a week since the last time the little snow leopard was bathed. Gu Yumian observed that the little snow leopard isn't averse to water and loves to keep itself clean.
——Gu Yumian had been to a mint hot spring before, and he planned to imitate the mint hot springs of humans and give the little snow leopard a catnip hot spring.
At seven o'clock that evening, Gu Yumian started the live broadcast.
"Hello everyone, I'm Gu Yumian, and this is Xuetuan." After introducing himself as usual, Gu Yumian looked at the rapidly increasing number of viewers and the constantly refreshing comments, and couldn't help but feel very flattered. "Today, I'll give my little Xuetuan a hot spring bath, and we'll have Sukiyaki for dinner."
[Meow: Check in! Mianmian is finally live streaming!!]
South China tigers never go on blind dates: What are hot springs? What are Sukiyaki hot pots? Anyway, I'm going to blow their tops first!!
[Youyunduo: Is the anchor participating in the new talent support program recently? Give your support. Roses bloom in September, and you are the only one in my heart. Deepwater torpedoes are for you.]
[Sleeping in the Deep Sea: Newcomer reporting in, the host's barbecue last time was so delicious, I watched that video a full twenty times QAQ]
Gu Yumian looked at the barrage for a while and then picked up the little snow leopard.
The little snow leopard was staring intently at the number of online viewers in Gu Yumian's live broadcast room. After being picked up by Gu Yumian, he sat upright on his shoulders.
"Don't worry, today's is delicious too." Gu Yumian curled his eyes, "Then let's get started."
The screen went black, and soon switched to the perspective of the little snow leopard.
Careful viewers will find that the surrounding environment is very similar to the last time they had a barbecue, both in the rooftop garden of Gu Yumian's house. However, this time, in order to match the atmosphere of the hot springs, Gu Yumian made appropriate modifications to the surrounding environment.
There are lush potted plants around, and a small pebble-paved pond in the center, steaming with hot air and white mist.
Everyone then understood that what Gu Yumian meant by "taking a hot spring bath" was similar to the much-touted "taking a bath".
At this time, some old viewers began to wonder.
Youyunduo: The host seemed to have said before that we are not suitable for bathing?
[South China tigers never go on blind dates: To be honest, I'm a little scared. Do you want to lie down?]
[Meow: Wait and see. I believe Mianmian must have his reasons.]
Gu Yumian carried the little snow leopard and walked through the lush potted plants. At this time, the scene inside gradually unfolded before his eyes.
Steam rose, stars twinkled in the sky. The water in the pebble-paved pool was actually running water, turquoise warm water gushing out of the bamboo tube, filling the pebble pool and flowing into another container.
The pool was obviously specially designed and modified by Gu Yumian. It was just the right size for the little snow leopard. It was not too deep to submerge its mouth and nose, and it was very spacious.
"I said last time that many cats aren't suitable for bathing," Gu Yumian said as he poured the prepared bath salts into the small pool, "because the cramped and humid environment makes them feel uneasy. Also, only running water can make them feel clean."
The bath salts were made from dried catnip, mixed with other ingredients. They quickly dissolved into the water, filling the air with a light minty fragrance. Gu Yumian controlled the amount of catnip; it wouldn't excite the little snow leopard or cause hallucinations, but would make it feel comfortable and happy.
"Try it. Do you like it? It's a bit cold today. A hot spring bath should be quite comfortable." Gu Yumian held the little snow leopard and gently placed it on the edge of the pool. He scratched it behind the ears. "By the way, there are stars today. Aren't they beautiful?"
The little snow leopard stretched out its paw to test the water.
Then, without waiting for Gu Yumian to pick it up, it stepped into the pool by itself.
At this moment, the audience feels very involved.
Following Gu Yumian's gentle whisper, they could immediately feel the temperature drop. It was the early spring weather, with its warm and chilly weather. Their skin exposed to the air felt the chill, and the only source of heat was just ahead.
The pool water becomes milky white after adding bath salts. The tip of your nose seems to be able to touch the warm water vapor and light fragrance, and the sound of flowing water is rustling.
Gu Yumian's attitude is always like this, very casual and gentle, as if he will wholeheartedly agree with whatever decision you make, and his ultimate goal is just to make you happy.
In the open field of vision, the lights were dim, and the stars in the sky seemed to be rushing towards them. The overly gentle and quiet environment immediately diluted the original tension and slight fear, making everyone even look forward to the feeling of the hot water touching their skin.
The next second, warm water gently surged up and flooded over the body.
Countless people opened their eyes wide at the same time!
The feeling of warm water gently flows over every inch of my skin, with the subtle scent of catnip and a hint of sea salt, a perfect comfort that makes my scalp tingle. The moment I enter the water, it feels like I have stepped into a completely warm and isolated dream.
Early spring, the starry sky, the night sky, and the evening breeze.
Hearing, vision and feeling reach the most comfortable state at the same time, making people want to squint their eyes and indulge in the present moment.
And it goes far beyond that.
After initially adapting to the water temperature, soon, a gentle caress came over my body.
The young man's fingers were long and warm. He rubbed the foam in his palms, and as the warm water flowed over, the gentle soothing spread from the back of the neck and chin to the back, taking away all the dirt and the coldness hidden underneath, making every cell seem to let out a sigh of satisfaction.
The little snow leopard wagged its tail unconsciously, rubbing against Gu Yumian's palm.
"I've prepared some low-alcohol blueberry wine. I'll give it to you to try later," said Gu Yumian.
As soon as I finished speaking, I could smell the aroma of blueberries mixed with mellow wine, making me feel slightly dizzy with just a breath. After soaking in such a comfortable hot spring, I enjoyed an equally steaming hot pot accompanied by iced, delicious blueberry wine...
Gu Yumian always manages to keep everything in order.
The young man's skin was warm and delicate, even gentler than the night itself. Hot springs when the weather turned cooler, barbecues by the sea in the evening, care and hot tea after a tiring day at work—he set the perfect rhythm for your life. All you had to do seemed to be trust him, rely on him, and cherish him.
It's really addictive.
The audience was all immersed in this atmosphere, and it took a long time for them to wake up from the dream. Countless barrages flew over one after another!
[Lying in the Deep Sea: All the gifts are for the anchor!!! This is the first time I’ve felt this way in my life 5555]
Youyunduo: Today's hot springs were absolutely perfect. The atmosphere, the bath salts, and the host's arrangements were all perfect. Thank you for your hard work! A firework for you.
[Meow: It's over, I'm completely addicted, I want to go to Xiaoxuetuan's house and steal humans ahh ...
[South China Tigers Never Blind Date: Wants to Steal Humans +1. Actually, both my host and Xuetuan want to steal humans. Can you steal them both and bring them to my house?]
One gift after another exploded, and the special effects connected together, making it almost impossible to see the barrage.
There were even several fans throwing fireworks at the same time, triggering several platform-wide raffles, and the number of viewers suddenly rose to a peak again.
Gu Yumian was not assigned to the recommended position today, but the countless gifts and the almost constant number of viewers quickly pushed him back onto the top ten list of the day, equaling the amazing popularity he had during the last barbecue.
On the other side, the host Yanjuan was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe.
In order to build momentum for the new talent support project, he had already bought the internet trolls and buzz long in advance, intending to use the official Star Sky "New Talent Support Quota" tag to reach the top in one fell swoop, and by the way, step on Gu Yumian who has been too prominent recently.
Who could have imagined that just as his online army started posting topics like "cigarettes and delicacies" and "humans get out of the live streaming circle", suddenly, the official Starry Sky tag was completely occupied by another group of people!
It turned out that some fans uploaded the real-time video of the live broadcast and photos taken casually to Weibo.
The photo showed a hazy, steamy scene. A young man half-knelt by the pool, his sleeves rolled up, revealing a delicate, snow-white wrist. His hair was slightly damp, his butterfly-like eyelids drooped, covering his pale amber pupils. A faint dimple formed at the corner of his lips.
What's even more ridiculous is that this photo was forwarded by a seemingly unrelated beauty blogger. This blogger usually focuses on posting all kinds of beautiful girls, but even so, when she saw this photo of Gu Yumian, her eyes still lit up.
@Focus on the Looks V: Whose new artist is this? I'm instantly attracted to him. @Lying in the Deep Sea: Everyone, come and see the amazing 5555 [pictures] [video]."
[My heart fluttered at first sight +1, has she debuted yet? Which company? Ahhhh, I can do it!!!]
[I've brought the chicken coop, sisters, calm down... Damn, I can't calm down at all!!]
[This looks like an amateur, no filter, no makeup, fan shot. Is it human at this level? ? ]
[Not an idol, but a host on the Starry Sky platform! Directions to room number 342xxx, sisters, hurry up and see the gods! ]
The power of face lovers is terrifying. They first got the photos of the shortlisted anchors published in the "Newcomer Support Project" tag from this blogger, and by the way occupied several topics that were just maliciously brought up by Yanjuan, and then found their way to Starry Sky Live.
This pushed Gu Yumian's popularity even higher, surpassing the popularity of "Yanjuan" which had just started to rise. Just one hour after the show started, Gu Yumian had already squeezed into the top three of the day's popularity rankings.
