[Zhuzhumei: Huh? Didn't you just say you wanted to quit? So you're quitting? Hahahahaha]
[I love eating dried fish: Sorry, my hands have their own ideas ORZ]
A Fireworks: Ahhh, I was once recommended by the Cloud Goddess, and I climbed over the firewall to watch her livestream on Takstar! I didn't see her face just now, so I didn't react, but I'm saying this feels so familiar!! Mianmian is coming to Capital Star!! Everyone, just wait and see, 2333 you'll get addicted too.
[Boy B: Fireworks, what are you talking about? Has your account been hacked?]
[Cloud Clip: This livestream does give me a unique feeling. I'll wait and see.]
After a short walk, we arrived at the bathroom.
What Gu Yumian liked most about this house was the bathroom, because it was spacious and highly adaptable. After arriving, he immediately dispatched the intelligent robot to redecorate it.
"We've been tired all day," Gu Yumian held little Tangyuan in his arms. "Let's give little Tangyuan a nice bath. Tuan Tuan, come and help me. I'll prepare some desserts for you all in a bit."
The baby panda looked around curiously with its round eyes, and it didn't seem to dislike the bathroom environment, but its furry little legs and front paws still held Gu Yumian tightly, and it was unwilling to come down.
The little snow leopard tried to push it out of Gu Yumian's arms secretly, but after being discovered by Gu Yumian, he looked away as if nothing had happened.
Gu Yumian: "..."
The public review panel included a number of furry land animals, many of which, by nature, are very averse to bathing.
Firstly, the fur feels extremely uncomfortable and insecure when it is wetted by the bath water and sticks to the body. Secondly, the small and dark environment makes them feel like they are locked in a small cage, and they resist subconsciously.
But that's not the case here.
As Gu Yumian walks into the bathroom, the audience gradually sees the surrounding environment——
The bathroom should have been dimly lit and relatively cramped, but it was very spacious and bright.
Soft natural light filters in through the frosted glass. Non-slip cushions in lovely, warm colors create a seamless, no-damp, no-cramp feeling in any corner. A shallow yet spacious bathtub, perfectly shaped and sized for cubs the size of Tangyuan and a snow leopard.
[Cloud Clip: I love the design of this bathroom! !]
[Boy B: It’s barely okay…I guess.]
Gu Yumian looked at the barrage and just smiled.
"Yuanyuan," he scooped up a handful of water with both hands and let the baby panda test the temperature with its paws, "How does the water feel?"
Little Tangyuan thought Gu Yumian was playing a game with him, and happily pressed both of his soft paws into Gu Yumian's palms, playing with them for a while. Gu Yumian couldn't help laughing, but he didn't urge him. Instead, the little snow leopard was very unhappy and stretched out his paws several times to push Little Tangyuan's paws away.
Half a minute later, little Tangyuan held Gu Yumian's right hand and carefully stepped into the shallow bathtub.
The bathtub was indeed very shallow. When the baby panda sat down, the water just covered its snow-white belly. It even used its paws to curiously splash water onto its belly.
Gu Yumian sat cross-legged beside the bathtub, holding the little snow leopard with its head resting on his shoulder. He then leaned over and wiped the baby panda's soft fur with a warm towel while chatting with the two children.
"It's windy outside," Gu Yumian said, holding a towel in one hand and scooping up some warm water with the other to sprinkle on Xiao Tangyuan. "The sky on Capital Star is particularly blue today. We have a bunch of gentian flowers planted in our garden... can you smell it?"
This bathroom wasn't completely enclosed; there was a half-open blind, letting in a thin stream of light. The air was flowing, and the breeze blew in from the window, carrying away all the moisture and stuffiness.
The audience and Xiao Tangyuan have the same perspective, and at this moment, the sense of immersion is extremely strong.
Following Gu Yumian's words, many people couldn't help but close their eyes. They seemed to smell the fragrance of gentian flowers on the wind. Although they couldn't see, the sound, light, and color still emerged in their minds.
Outside, separated by a layer of frosted glass, is the azure sky of midsummer, with the chirping of cicadas and the gentle breeze, and it doesn't seem stuffy at all.
The faint scent of gentian flowers blends in the wind, making this summer seem rich and romantic, like the overlapping words of light and shadow written by a poet.
Even though it was just a shower, she didn't feel the slightest bit of her usual nervousness. In fact, the image that young man's gentle words had drawn seemed to have completely enveloped her in the drowsy breeze of a summer afternoon, and she was vaguely filled with all sorts of fantasies about the entire day ahead.
Then, water of just the right temperature falls on the skin.
All the judges opened their eyes wide at the same time.
The feeling of warm water on fur surprisingly brings a sense of comfort and satisfaction. The young man's hands gently press along with the water, gently smoothing out the tangled fur. His technique is patient and gentle, gently pressing the water from the chin to the stomach, then the back. Every second is so comfortable that it makes you want to close your eyes and sigh with satisfaction.
The baby panda closed his eyes, almost feeling sleepy in this atmosphere. From time to time, he would press Gu Yumian's palm with his little paws and yawn with great satisfaction.
The water flow carried away all the dirt, and the fatigue from the long journey was also left behind.
The air was filled with the scent of bath salts, a hint of platycodon, and the faint scent of bamboo leaves from Gu Yumian's fingers. His gentle touch meant companionship, a kind of tolerance, a gentle embrace that held her whole.
He's like the older brother that everyone wanted to have in their childhood.
He can take you to fly kites, pick up shells on the beach, play in the mountains and fields, and when you are tired and sleepy, he can carry you home on his back and help you take a comfortable hot bath.
Many judges felt that this moment was already the pinnacle, and the next moment would be even more unforgettable.
"After we finish our shower, we'll spread out a cool mat by the French window and take a nap," Gu Yumian kissed the little snow leopard, who had also calmed down. "You'll wake up just in time for dinner. After dinner, there'll be ice watermelon and watermelon juice."
"By the way, let's move the small table under the wooden porch to eat. I heard that the Big Dipper can be seen from the capital star. Can you see it?"
My whole body is surrounded by warm water, the temperature seems to flow into my blood vessels, and every cell is telling about the comfortable feeling at this moment.
Gu Yumian's movements were very slow, and his voice was gentler than the breeze on a summer afternoon. He always arranged everything in the most appropriate and suitable way, making people trust and rely on him involuntarily, and want to follow him to many places and do everything.
The wind is blowing gently, and this beautiful and nostalgic afternoon will end little by little.
But there is no regret, because what follows is the brilliant golden and red evening, the aroma of steaming hot food, the starry sky in midsummer, the ice watermelon and endless stories to hear, and a long and pleasant dream.
The public judges were all speechless.
It wasn't until several minutes later that all the comments came pouring out!
[Chocolate Candy: Aa ...
[Love eating dried fish: So comfortable, wow wow wow, why can't I throw gifts in the review system? ? I really want to throw fireworks so that everyone can come and see the fairy little brother QAQ]
[Cloud Clip: I suddenly feel like all my past few decades of summer have been wasted. This is what deserves to be called summer!!!]
[Boy B: When I first came in, I thought I'd barely get an E to pass. Now I even think I'm underestimating the streamer by getting an S rank. Damn, I'm so humbled by you!]
A-rank achieved. Thank you, host, for letting a 200-year-old like me experience the feeling of being cared for like a child. It's truly rare. With the midlife crisis, hair loss, insomnia, and the hassles of a promotion, I haven't felt this relaxed and happy in ages. Thank you.
These 1,000 public judges came from all ages and classes across the Capital Star. From newly-adult students to middle-aged housewives, and even some high-ranking leaders nearing retirement with nothing to do...
The reason why public judging is difficult is that it is too difficult to please so many people of different identities and ages at the same time - just like singing, dancing and gaming live broadcasts target teenagers, shopping and makeup live broadcasts target young women, and outdoor travel live broadcasts target office workers who sit in the office for a long time.
Gu Yumian's livestream, though difficult to categorize, was the first to capture everything. It was accessible, with no barriers to entry, and anyone could watch it and have a truly unique experience.
Except for a few judges who gave an E grade at the beginning without even watching the live broadcast, the remaining 900 or so people all watched the live broadcast until the end before giving their scores carefully.
There are a total of 967 people, a very small number of whom are B-level, and more than 600 of them all scored A-level. The most surprising thing is that the remaining more than 200 people scored S-level!
All official judges and public judges are extremely cautious when giving S-level. Although the public judges are volunteers from all ages, they have also received online training and it is impossible for them to give such high scores casually.
Gu Yumian's 'very simple' live review set the highest average score since the establishment of the review system!
This data result was also quickly fed back to the official and Star Sky senior management.
There wasn't much to do in the afternoon. Fang Lena, the chief CEO of Star Live, had just been watching the live broadcast. At this moment, she slammed the table and stood up.
"Xiao Zhang," she called over to her assistant in a resonant voice, pulling up a document on her laptop. "Go to the Human Resources Department and ask them to help Gu Yumian submit an application to the government for the S-level anchor review process!"
Even Fang Lena, a veteran with many years of experience, was a little excited at this moment. There was not a single S-level anchor in the entire Capital Star. If the first S-level anchor could appear under their Starry Sky, it would undoubtedly be a great honor for them.
Xiao Zhang shuddered: "Okay, do you have anything else?"
Fang Lena: "Go! ...Oh, wait."
Xiao Zhang: “?”
Fang Lena touched the tip of her nose a little embarrassedly: "Hey, by the way, please help me get an autographed photo of Gu Yumian."
Xiao Zhang: “…………”
It’s over. Even the chief CEO has started to chase stars. Is there any need to compete in the rookie anchor competition in half a month?
Starry sky pill.
That night, Weibo.
Tak's population was 700 million, but its Weibo traffic couldn't compare to Capital Star's. Capital Star's downtown area alone had a population of 30 billion, and people were constantly posting and browsing Weibo. The more sleepy people were, the more they would browse.
Xiao Wang is one of them.
But her staying up late wasn't a habit; it was insomnia. She'd tried every possible remedy, and while sleeping pills had worked at first, the palpitations and anxiety she'd experienced the next day after falling asleep with them…she really didn't want to try it a second time.
I just endured this and didn't fall asleep until four or five in the morning, and had to get up at seven the next day to go to work.
"Oh, it's so hard for me," Xiao Wang was lying on the bed and browsing Weibo out of boredom when he suddenly saw a hot post.
@Xiaoming, who loves to complain, V: Retweet this Weibo post, and you'll definitely have a good night's sleep tonight [video].
Xiao Wang: “?”
She'd heard of retweeting for a chance to win a prize, retweeting for good luck, and retweeting for a 100% chance of sleep. But this just hit a nerve. Insomnia is insomnia anyway, so why not give it a try?
She pressed the forward button, and due to some special setting, the video started playing automatically after being forwarded, and the person who posted the video reminded the audience to wear a holographic device.
The video was only twenty minutes long, and the initial scene was a bit confusing. There was the sound of water. "Is this young man human?" Xiao Wang frowned in discomfort at first.
But soon there was no time to think about these things.
The progress bar moves forward little by little.
A gentle touch descends like a feather, and the air is filled with the warmth and scent of platycodon flowers, like the starry sky and summer fireworks outlined in the words of young people.
A sense of satisfaction and comfort unknowingly climbed up the nerve endings of the brain that was originally extremely anxious, and all the stress and fatigue were washed away.
Before he even saw the end, Xiao Wang's eyelids drooped unconsciously and he felt sleepy.
“…”
This was the case for almost everyone. Consequently, this Weibo post was forwarded countless times, but received very few comments. It wasn't until the next morning that it was brought up by people who had personally experienced it and started clamoring for more.
Vivinot: After twenty years of insomnia, this is the first time I've slept so soundly.
[Aya: Holy shit, I thought you were joking, but you actually fell asleep!!]
[Rabbit doesn't like pudding: Who is this man? I want his name, phone number, and address in five minutes. I'm in love QAQ]
[Little Comb: Seriously, when I first saw it was human, I thought it must be unreliable. I never expected it! I didn't find much information on the Capital Planet, so I asked my programmer brother to search the entire galaxy. It seems this is a very popular streamer from Tak Planet...?]
[Wang Buliuxing: Tak Planet?? A bloody letter begging him to come to the Capital Planet! I've got the money ready!!]
It was a long time before Yuan Bo posted another Weibo.
“@Xiaoming, a classmate who loves to complain: Um, he’s already… here… just passed the review, wait for the official news in a couple of days [OK]”
Within five minutes of posting, there were over a thousand comments.
Everyone who watched this short video, including Xiao Wang, was excited!
The other side.
After the review was completed, the official sent a notice asking Gu Yumian to wait for the result. Gu Yumian could not see the rating directly, but judging from the response from the barrage, it should not be too bad, right?
So he stopped caring about it and took the little snow leopard and little Tangyuan with him, spread a mat by the floor-to-ceiling window where the sun was shining brightly, and took a nap.
He set an alarm for himself and woke up just in the evening. The sunset was so beautiful that it was beyond words.
The panda cub slept cradled in his hand, its round head nudging Gu Yumian's palm from time to time. Even in its drowsy state, it purred softly, as if talking in its sleep. The snow leopard cub, however, slept in an even more aggressive position, pushing little Tangyuan away and occupying Gu Yumian's entire embrace, unconsciously biting the back of his neck as if to stake its claim.
Gu Yumian: “…” He just said that he felt itchy on the back of his neck when he fell asleep.
"It's time to make dinner." He carefully took the two cubs off his body and covered them with a thin blanket. "What should we have for dinner? Oh, right—"
Halfway through stretching, Gu Yumian suddenly remembered the advertisement he saw at the starport when he just got off the starship!
Although Gu Yumian didn't see the specific content of the public service announcement about the black and white figure in the bamboo forest, he had a hunch that it was a panda. If he could find the ad online, it might lead to clues about Xiao Tangyuan's case.
He logged into StarNet and typed in the search box:
'Twenty-four Ads'.
