Gu Yumian is a gentle and non-competitive person. He likes stories that are the most plain and perfect, always with a happy reunion ending.
"A long time ago, there was a little bear...a little brown bear," Gu Yumian said, sitting cross-legged on a picnic blanket, holding little Tangyuan and the little snow leopard in his arms, as they enjoyed the refreshing mountain breeze of a midsummer evening. "One rainy summer day, he forgot his umbrella and wandered through the forest, searching for a mushroom or a large lotus leaf to shelter from the rain."
This story tells of a little brown bear who met a little rabbit, a little yellow duck and other friends who were also hiding from the rain. Together they found a small wooden house in the forest where an old human grandfather lived.
The old man gave them large lotus leaves to shelter them from the rain, warm towels, baked cookies and hot milk, and read them storybooks. For many days after the rain stopped, Little Brown Bear and his friends continued to visit the old man every day. But one day, the old man disappeared.
"So, Grandpa went to the city to visit a friend and encountered a truck. He..." Gu Yumian paused, "Later, Grandpa recovered in the city and returned to his cabin in the forest. The little brown bears then made umbrellas out of the lotus leaves Grandpa had given them and learned how to bake cookies. They were waiting for Grandpa to come back."
The panda cub, burping in Gu Yumian's arms, clutching its fluffy white belly, now looked at him blankly yet intently, then patted its head, trying to remember something. The snow leopard cub opened its eyes, extended its paw to press against the corner of Gu Yumian's eye, and Gu Yumian held its hand and kissed it.
"Do you see the Big Dipper?" Gu Yumian and his two cubs looked up at the sky. "Look, that's the Big Dipper. Doesn't it look like a spoon?"
Seven stars are dotted on the sky, and when they are connected into a line, they really look like a spoon, as if they want to scoop up a spoonful of the night and carefully treasure it.
The little snow leopard's long tail lazily brushed past Gu Yumian's ear, and the baby panda lay contentedly in Gu Yumian's arms.
——This is the first-person perspective of little Tangyuan. The audience’s sense of smell, hearing, and touch are magnified several times in this quiet summer night.
In the midsummer, the sky is full of stars and the bonfire by the lake is crackling.
The comfortable and satisfying feeling after a hearty meal and a few drinks, being gently embraced by the closest person, lying barefoot and chatting under the night sky, the long chirping of cicadas, and the smell of grass stems and soil moisture that are unique to summer nights in the mountains.
Because I was half lying down, I could feel the clean, tender and slightly moist grass passing by the soles of my feet from time to time, which was a slightly itchy and novel touch.
Gu Yumian's fingers caressed his back intermittently, gently pressing the joints, like warm water gently lapping over him, dispelling all the fatigue accumulated from a day's work. He spoke many words in a low, pleasant voice.
It feels so good to be alone on a mountaintop on a summer night, chatting and gazing at the stars, accompanied by someone. Gu Yumian is so gentle and soothing. All the stuffiness and summer heat disappear, all the anxiety and anxiety find a place to rest, and the long chirping of cicadas gives me a dreamlike feeling of happiness.
It's now an hour and a half old.
Half an hour ago, Gu Yumian's live broadcast room was naturally recommended in the 'Latest Live Broadcast' section. Relying on the exposure from this recommendation section, the number of viewers soared incredibly and made it to the real-time popularity list of the life area.
The number of viewers on the real-time popularity list started a new round of rapid growth, breaking through 100,000 in just a few minutes!
[Farmer and Snake: Newcomer, I'm blown away by this livestream! !!! What's with this livestream? It's obviously nothing special, and the pace is slow, but the experience is truly amazing!]
Lili doesn't eat cakes: The atmosphere right now is so comfortable! I remember when I was little, I lived in the countryside with my grandparents in the summer. At night, I would fan myself with a palm-leaf fan, count the stars, and listen to all kinds of stories and legends. I miss my grandparents so much QAQ.
Vivian: Even though the stories all have happy endings, why do I feel like crying for no reason?! It's so sweet and sour.
[Denggu: This new anchor is quite impressive. Today is the first day of broadcasting, and already there are 100,000 viewers. He's a shining star.]
One hundred thousand is not a lot considering the large population base of the Capital Star, but it’s only the first day of Gu Yumian’s show, so even if they already have a fan base on Tak Star, it’s still very impressive.
"Alright," Gu Yumian couldn't help but smile as he watched the number of spectators continue to rise. Seeing that the time was almost up, he said, "Let's go back to the tent and rest for a while. We can have some ice watermelon later."
Although they had rented a cabin, Gu Yumian found that the kids still preferred the feel of a tent, so they set up a tent as well. The small tent was placed directly on the grass a little away from the lake - not too close to avoid a sudden rain at night and the water level rising and flooding the small tent.
The light was warm yellow, and there were a few cushions scattered around, along with Gu Yumian's books and coat, the little snow leopard's exclusive pillow, and the baby panda's milk bottle. The cushions and small quilt had a clean smell as if they had just been exposed to the sun. The tent kept out the wind and rain, creating a safe and secure place of its own.
The current atmosphere is indeed very good, and Gu Yumian himself feels very comfortable being in it.
"It would be nice to have fireworks." Gu Yumian held the little snow leopard and the little glutinous rice balls in his arms, and couldn't help but imagine, "While eating watermelon, we can step on the riverbank and watch the fireworks. When I was looking up travel guides before, I seemed to have seen that there would sometimes be fireworks on Mt. Muluoda?"
Gu Yumian went to Japan with friends for her high school graduation trip. They watched a fireworks display in Osaka. There were local boys and girls in yukata and various stalls bustling with activity at the summer festival. The flickering fireworks were reflected on the quietly flowing river. It was truly unforgettable.
However, it seems that there are no fireworks displays or summer festivals in the interstellar era. I feel a little disappointed when I think about this.
[Meow: I want to see fireworks too. Alas, I've only seen them once since I was a kid.]
Visitor 01: With all due respect, I don't understand the beauty of fireworks. They're loud, blinding, and a waste of money.
[Mass-selling mouse: The host is truly a country bumpkin, haha. Muluo Dashan only sets off fireworks on important occasions. He can't even do this little homework, so why is he doing a travel livestream? I beg you to get out of the livestreaming world, Purple Star? More like a jinx.]
[Vendor Mouse: By the way, you want to see fireworks? Sure, please quickly spend the money and have someone purchase the fireworks and get government permission. By the way, His Majesty is arriving in downtown today, so I'm afraid no one would dare grant such a permit right now. If you can't do it, then don't bother talking. You're just a poor, country bumpkin.]
[Cloud Clip: What kind of people have sneaked into the live broadcast room? They're so weird, anchor, just ignore them.]
With such high popularity when a newcomer starts broadcasting, it is inevitable that he will attract some jealousy - after all, there are many small anchors in the entire Capital Star who have been struggling at the bottom, who don't work hard but complain about everything every day. Gu Yumian's income in one hour is equivalent to some people's monthly income. When people see Gu Yumian's achievements, they are so jealous that their eyes are about to bleed.
Immediately, many fans began to spontaneously send gifts and control the comments to help Gu Yumian suppress the negative comments, and comforted Gu Yumian not to take it seriously. Gu Yumian was very touched and did not take the comments of the trolls seriously. Instead, the little snow leopard squinted his eyes and scanned the comments.
Gu Yumian thought about it, smiled, and said calmly:
"So it's only on important occasions. Does your Majesty's arrival in the Lower City today count as an important occasion?"
The 'mass-selling mouse' first said that fireworks were only set off on important occasions, then said that His Majesty would arrive in the Lower City today. Gu Yumian's question immediately put the nitpicker in a dilemma:
According to them, it was wishful thinking for Gu Yumian to want to watch the fireworks today, but this was equivalent to indirectly denying His Majesty's important status, which was wrong on both ends.
[There's a home in the mine: I was stunned for a moment before I came around, hahahahahahahahaha!!! I tried to laugh quietly, @杠精, how does it feel to slap yourself in the face?]
Vivian: Hahahahaha, the host is so good at arguing!!
[Yuyu also wants to be an idol: What kind of amazing anchor is this? His crisis management and mentality are so strong, he can achieve great results with just a little effort 666]
The nitpickers: “…” Damn.
This little episode was quickly revealed. Gu Yumian let the little snow leopard and the little glutinous rice balls sit on the cushions and let them play for a while. At the same time, he placed the small robots for safety protection at the four corners of the tent before standing up.
"Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, you guys take a rest in the tent. I'll go get the watermelon."
The baby panda was about to fall asleep again. The little snow leopard sat up and wanted to follow Gu Yumian out. Gu Yumian climbed up and accidentally fell into the water.
Gu Yumian left the watermelon to dry in the lake. Now that it has been there for such a long time, the watermelon must taste very good.
The live broadcast camera followed the host. After Gu Yumian was five meters away from the baby panda, the perspective switched from the baby panda's perspective to a God's perspective, following Gu Yumian.
Gu Yumian brought out a night light.
The night in the mountains was quiet, with the gurgling of water just a whisper away. The Milky Way shone brightly on the shallow lake, making it appear exceptionally clear. In the distance, another group of campers seemed to be still drinking, but their chatter had quieted down. Gu Yumian could only occasionally hear the soft clink of glasses clinking.
"This lake is very shallow, with round pebbles and fine sand underneath. Because it's meltwater from the snowy mountains, the water is naturally icy cold," Gu Yumian explained. "I dried the watermelon in it, and it feels similar to cooling watermelon with well water, but has a more natural taste than iced watermelon."
In fact, many of the audience had never even heard of the term "Jingshui Town Watermelon", and their curiosity was aroused.
"This lake is full of running water. I forgot to tie the rope to my watermelon..." Gu Yumian half-knelt down and felt around for a while but couldn't find it. He said helplessly, "It was carried a little bit in by the current. Now I can only go down and look for it. Fortunately, the water is not deep.
"Don't try to imitate me. I'm a failure," he said self-deprecatingly.
Gu Yumian took off his shoes and socks and went barefoot. He rolled up his trouser legs to his knees, revealing his snow-white, graceful calves, and waded into the water. Many female viewers almost stared at him, and the barrage of comments filled the air with "Brother, I can do it."
A few minutes later, Gu Yumian finally touched his watermelon. As soon as he turned around, the little snow leopard was sitting by the lake with a serious face, looking at him with a bit of displeasure. When Gu Yumian came over, he stretched out his paw and pressed his forehead.
"Tuantuan?" Gu Yumian was a little surprised and reached out to pick it up. "What's wrong? I'm going back now."
[Cloud Clip: Little Snowball sneaked out of the tent just as the host was entering the water. That little expression was like, "Why did my stupid human stay out for so long and even enter the water without permission? Don't you know I'm worried?"]
[Home in the Mine: Really, wow wow wow, I was really moved to tears by this cuteness!!]
As Gu Yumian walked back into the tent, the camera switched back to Tangyuan's perspective. The baby panda was also waiting by the tent, slowly crawling over and holding Gu Yumian's hand.
"Then let's cut the watermelon."
Gu Yumian placed a roll of mat and two night lights outside the small tent and started cutting watermelon here.
Transparent water droplets were hanging on the smooth and full-colored watermelon skin, and it felt cool to the touch. Gu Yumian asked the two children to move aside, and carefully cut the watermelon in half with a knife.
The flesh of the watermelon was light red. Gu Yumian had his own way of selecting watermelons. He chose rock sugar watermelons with very few seeds. The light red watermelons looked crystal clear and delicious under the night light, and the red deepened towards the center, making them as sweet as you could imagine.
Gu Yumian did not cut the watermelon into small pieces. Instead, he took out two spoons and gave half of the watermelon to Little Snow Leopard and Little Tangyuan respectively, and fed the sweetest part in the middle to the children first.
"Watermelon doesn't lose much water if you eat it with a spoon," Gu Yumian said. "How is it? Is it delicious?"
[Gugugujiji: Holy crap, I didn't expect it to be this delicious!!! It's really, really delicious!!!]
[Boy B: What's wrong with this anchor? It's not like I haven't eaten watermelon before. How come it tastes so good after just soaking it in water with his hands? Wow wow wow... I kneel down to you!]
[Youyunduo: This watermelon is sweet and juicy without being greasy. It's really delicious.]
[Girl Star: It's really delicious! Come on, host! ! I'll give you two fireworks! ! !]
After the lake formed by the meltwater from the snow-capped mountains is frozen, the temperature of the watermelon is just right. It is not too cold to burden the teeth and stomach, and the coolness when it enters the mouth just relieves the summer heat and elevates the texture and taste of the watermelon to a higher level.
The watermelon Gu Yumian had carefully selected was juicy and sweet, icy and juicy at first bite, refreshing and incredibly delicious. On a summer night that was otherwise a bit sweltering with the sound of cicadas chirping, eating a bite of candied watermelon chilled with snow water was a truly heavenly delight.
The little snow leopard nodded modestly, while the baby panda rolled over on its fluffy white belly, making whimpering sounds to indicate that the food was delicious.
Barrages of comments rolled by one after another, countless gifts poured in, and Gu Yumian's real-time popularity in the living area climbed to the top five. The number of viewers actually increased by another 30,000 to 40,000 in just over ten minutes!
The best is yet to come.
After feeding the sweetest part of the watermelon to the little snow leopard and the baby panda, Gu Yumian cut the remaining watermelon into dices and neatly arranged them in a transparent bowl. He then poured the sparkling fruit wine he had drunk at dinner into a bowl, covering the watermelon dices, and put it into the portable refrigerator in the tent to quickly freeze.
Three minutes later, a small bowl was taken out. The pale red watermelon cubes were frozen in the icy sparkling wine, like a small piece of watermelon frozen in a small, clear ice cube. Just looking at it was very delicate and lovely. Because it was icy, Gu Yumian didn't dare give the children too much, so each of them tasted only a small piece.
audience:"!!!"
The sparkling wine ice is refreshing and delicious upon biting into it, melting in your mouth to reveal the chilled, savory watermelon. The sweet and sour aroma of the wine blends seamlessly with the lusciousness of the watermelon, while the crispness of the ice and the slightly savory texture of the watermelon complement each other perfectly – that's the beauty of this way of eating.
Just a small piece can make you squint your eyes and feel your scalp tingling, and sweep away the heat of the long and sultry summer.
[There's a family in the mine: What the hell is this?! Eating in a magical way!!]
【Vivian: Ahhhhhh now all I can do is ahh ...
[Cloud Clip: Please open a shop and let me spend money, please! If you can cook, please make more.]
[Meow: Mianmian, before my roommate died, he said he wanted to taste the sparkling fruit wine and watermelon jelly you made! ! !]
[Girl Star: I'm begging the host to hold a lucky draw. I beg you!]
"It just so happens that our little ones can't eat too much ice," Gu Yumian said, holding the two cubs in his arms. After a moment's thought, he decided, "Then I'll give away the remaining sparkling fruit wine and watermelon jelly to five viewers."
Even though there were only five people, this immediately ignited the atmosphere of the entire barrage. After tasting this kind of taste, who wouldn't want to try it themselves?
Countless gift special effects flashed on the screen like a stream of water, and the barrage of comments turned into various kinds of wish winnings, while the popularity of Gu Yumian's live broadcast room was steadily increasing.
Gu Yumian, the little snow leopard and the little panda sat on the mat in front of the tent, looking at the stars, eating watermelon, listening to the mountain breeze and the chirping of cicadas. All the hustle and bustle of the city seemed far away.
At this moment, the little snow leopard suddenly jumped onto Gu Yumian's shoulder, covering his eyes with its long tail, and at the same time stretched out its claws to press Gu Yumian's ears.
The baby panda, not knowing why, nudged itself into Gu Yumian's arms.
Gu Yumian suddenly lost sight: "Tuan Tuan?"
He was a little confused at first, and a subtle premonition slowly emerged in his mind, and then the next second...
Whoosh—bang!
His vision opened up again, and brilliant fireworks exploded in the quiet night, shining brightly in Gu Yumian's light-colored pupils. He gradually opened his eyes wider.
After the first firework, two or three more fireworks were launched into the sky at the same time. The various colorful fireworks illuminated the entire sky as bright as day, and then turned into sparks that fell to the earth again.
Most of the people in the downtown area couldn't help but stick their heads out of the windows to watch this extremely arrogant and bright fireworks display, and there was a continuous stream of discussions, exclamations and admiration.
The whole city was in an uproar.
Gu Yumian was stunned, and so were the comments. Some people couldn't help but think of the time when some nitpickers started arguing about fireworks. Could it be...?
The little snow leopard lowered its eyes to gaze at its human, a faint satisfaction in its gray-blue eyes. It lazily lay down on Gu Yumian's shoulder again, yawned, and its long tail occasionally brushed Gu Yumian's earlobe.
For it, setting off a fireworks display is a simple matter.
There's no particular reason, if I had to say...
Wish its humans a happy summer.
at the same time.
The popularity of Gu Yumian's live broadcast room soared at a speed that no one could have imagined. It reached a small peak during the lottery, and then there were the fireworks - it seemed like the fireworks were specially set for him alone, and the best viewing position was where Gu Yumian was.
The number of viewers quickly exceeded 150,000, then 200,000, and then—
It squeezed into the top ten of the daily popularity rankings on the Capital Star, which had been solidified for a long time and had not changed for several months.
