Chapter 38
At twelve o'clock that evening, all the trainees were exhausted after returning to the audition camp. They went into their respective dormitories one after another and turned off the lights to rest.
On the curb outside the dormitory building, two sneaky street urchins, one holding two fresh and hot deluxe family buckets and the other holding a pitcher of beer, looked around, as if searching for the best place to steal a bite.
“No cameras.”
"Find a place with streetlights."
"Are we going to squat again this time? My legs are a little numb from squatting for too long last time."
Finally they found a perfect spot. They sat down on a bench with their backs to the streetlight, one in front and one behind. The family bucket and beer were placed in the middle. Chu Yu gave a pair of plastic gloves to Luo Jiayu. It was time for supper. Today was the zeroth day of the short holiday, and they felt stable and happy.
Luo Jiayu skillfully opened the pull tab of a can of beer, took a sip, and then touched it to Chu Yu's:
"Cheers to our super talented and cool explosive stage effects."
Chu Yu was concentrating on deciding whether to eat the fried chicken wings first or the fried wings. Upon hearing this, he held out the bag of fried chicken and clinked his beer can with Luo Jiayu's without changing his expression.
"Cheers to the holiday."
After each performance, all trainees have a week-long vacation to rest. 007's exhausting training time every day can finally come to an end.
"Here's to our two great fortunes, prosperity, invincibility, success, and super star luck!"
Chu Yu changed the egg tart bag and clinked glasses with him:
"Cheers to the holiday."
"A toast to the two of us..." Luo Jiayu was a little at a loss for words. He raised his head while holding the beer, searching aimlessly for some other prefix that sounded impressive.
Chu Yu took the French fry box and continued to clink it with him:
"Cheers to the holiday."
"Okay, okay, I'll have a holiday." Luo Jiayu said, then he took a French fry from Chu Yu's box and put it in his mouth. "What's your popularity value now?"
"I don't seem to have this thing." Chu Yu poked the system, "Teacher Zhao?"
"Here, baby. I'll get the settlement report for you."
After Teacher Zhao finished speaking, he fiddled with it for a while, and soon Chu Yu heard the same electronic female voice that Luo Jiayu had just heard:
[The first public performance round settlement has begun... Host Chu Yu's favorability with the judges increased by 30 points, the trainees by 30 points, and the audience by 266 points. Comprehensive data evaluation: Excellent. Currently, this has surpassed 99% of book travelers of the same age group. The system automatically responds: Baby, you are an excellent baby.]
"What is this automatic reply?" Chu Yu slowly opened the lid of his Coke, then dipped some French fries into the Coke and ate them. "AI?"
"Yes, it's the latest Times Series No. 001 developed by the Chuanshuju. It's just that the material feeding seems to have gone astray. This guy now only feeds on popular internet memes."
Luo Jiayu tutted his words: "No wonder this thing is so weird every day."
[Ding Dong, supplementary settlement is being made for host Luo Jiayu's first public performance... Host Luo Jiayu's current total popularity is 13.5, ranking second to last in the camp, surpassing 1% of book travelers of the same age group. This triggers the system's automatic reply: Baby, you don't seem to be a particularly good baby. Let me see how this happened.]
"The settlement was very good. Don't settle it next time." Luo Jiayu's expression remained unchanged. He pointed his free hand at the air beside him and said, "Get lost."
The broadcasting system went black with a snort.
"Host, our audience favorability has reached 299! We are about to reach our goal!" Teacher Zhao poked Chu Yu happily, then felt something was wrong and screened all the favorability lists.
"Wait, why are the trainees' favorability scores almost falling below zero?"
Chu Yu felt a little guilty as she dipped her fries in the water. "I forgot to check the payment method when I bought the family bucket, so the system defaulted to Fu Hansong's favorability."
If the favorability amount is not enough, it will be automatically postponed to the next level. My ex-husband is probably the worst off. He may not be able to sleep even after they have their midnight snack tonight.
"..." The system pulled its hair worriedly.
Now I have to start all over again, but it is more difficult to increase the trainee's favorability than the audience's favorability. I don't know when I can get it to 200, or maybe I won't get it until the end of the novel.
"I'll give you one." Chu Yu opened the box of finger-licking original chicken and handed it to Luo Jiayu, who was looking down at his phone. "What are you doing?"
"I want to find a movie to watch. Just eating is too boring."
“You can’t look at your phone while eating.”
"Let's watch it together."
"OK."
A minute later, Luo Jiayu placed his phone between the two of them, and the screen slowly showed his carefully selected blockbuster movie to watch while eating - the third season of "Big Ear Tutu".
Luo Jiayu took out a pair of Bluetooth earphones from his pocket and gave one to his childhood friend. The two handsome guys put a white earphone in each ear and sat together, eating fried chicken while watching the little boy in the cartoon perform his ear-moving magic.
Chu Yu listened to the familiar opening theme song while picking up a long French fry from the box: "Have you finished the first two seasons?"
"Yes, I've watched it twice." Luo Jiayu turned around and quickly and accurately pinched half of the French fries that Chu Yu was holding in his mouth and put it into his mouth to eat.
"..." Chu Yu held a short, broken piece of French fry in his mouth and slowly frowned in protest, "You insist on eating what's in someone else's mouth. What a problem."
The two systems sat in their heads for a long time before Luo Jiayu's system finally couldn't help but ask, "Is it beautiful?"
"It looks good." The two grown boys answered in unison.
"It's a bit childish for elementary school students, but just right for college students like us."
After Luo Jiayu finished speaking, he squinted his eyes and clinked his beer with Chu Yu's Coke. "Right, my exclusive partner in animation appreciation."
Chu Yu rarely objected and nodded in agreement while chewing French fries.
They are the ultimate children's cartoon duo who even watched all 100 episodes of In the In-the-Garden with Baby together. I guess there is no other person in the world as boring as them.
"It's a touching brotherhood." Luo Jiayu nodded indifferently, and Teacher Zhao seemed to be hesitant to speak.
After the episode ended, the two of them had almost finished the family bucket. Luo Jiayu hummed the theme song from Big Ear Tutu and stood up with his empty beer can. "Let's go home."
They hardly dared to approach their roommates who smelled of shower gel and fragrance when they smelled of fried chicken, so after throwing away the garbage, they simply wandered around the dormitory building again, just as a walk to digest the food.
The moonlight in the early morning can easily arouse certain emotional things in people's hearts. For Chu Yu, it is the NetEase Cloud Player, and for Luo Jiayu, it is nonsense.
"Brother," he said, looking ahead with deep emotion, "Do you think that when we're ninety-nine, we'll still be walking side by side like we do now?"
"I may not live to that time." Chu Yu said.
Luo Jiayu sighed and said, "I'm still confident in the limit of my lifespan, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to stand up by then."
Chu Yu thought for a moment and said, "If you can't stand up by then, I'll push you."
"What if both of us can't stand up?" Luo Jiayu suddenly turned around and looked at him.
The two of them stared at each other for a while.
"Then we can race each other using elderly wheelchairs."
"That's what I thought."
"Good brothers." Luo Jiayu and Chu Yu high-fived.
Luo Jiayu opened the memo on his phone, wanting to take advantage of the situation to compose an impromptu poem. Halfway through, he seemed to remember something and went to the Weibo super topic to take a look.
You don’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it.
As early as around nine o'clock in the evening, the moment the stage accident happened, the official Weibo account of Dinglian was attacked by fans of all the popular contestants.
All the viewers who were following the live broadcast saw with their own eyes that the stage screen, which was heavy enough to kill people, fell to the ground with a clang. The entire live broadcast room was instantly in chaos. In the last second when the camera was cut off, everyone saw two trainees hugging each other and rolling together in a panic to avoid the collapsed stage.
The official super topic and the CP super topic exploded at the same time.
Some fans were furious, and there were waves of voices defending their rights and questioning the quality of the on-site arrangements, worrying about their own safety. The official Weibo account was almost paralyzed by the massive surge in comments in a short period of time.
Of course, there were also fans who took advantage of the chaos in this smoke-filled cyber battlefield to secretly take a big bite.
Apart from anything else, it’s authentic, extremely good sugar, and has a sweetness that feels like the destiny of life and death.
The CP fans on the super topic are going crazy.

[Hot Comment 4: A certain idiot guy, do you need me to teach you? He blocked her ears, held her down with his hands, and then forcefully kissed her. If you dare to hug her, touch her, but not kiss her, what kind of man are you?!]
[Blogger's reply: Sister, this is a comment section, not a no-man's land... Forget it, nsdd Luo, why are you so cowardly! You can't even return it when your wife is right in your arms!]
"What are you looking at?"
"I didn't see anything." Luo Jiayu quickly put the phone back behind his back, and his raised face looked serious and innocent.
After a while, he couldn't help but clicked on the page to continue reading.
[Hot Comment 5: Xiao Yu's eyes were truly captivating when he was embraced. He wanted to look up at Luo but didn't dare. I bet he was thinking that way. His eyes were blinking faster than usual, indicating nervousness. However, his body remained obediently pressed against the person, indicating his absolute trust and attachment to the person holding him. This reaction indirectly suggests that even if Luo really had that intention, he wouldn't actually refuse. In short, lock him in, lock him in, I'll go along with it for 200 yuan.]
[Blogger's reply: Sister, you are a master of micro-expressions! Thank you for your analysis! I'm hooked again!]
"Is this true?" Luo Jiayu stared at the phone screen in disbelief, as if he had discovered a new continent.
"What's true or false? You're definitely not looking at Big Ear Tutu." Chu Yu turned to look at him and asked firmly, then was blinded by his sudden bright smile.
"Come on, let's take a picture." Luo Jiayu held his shoulder and raised his phone at the same angle as their super chat avatars. "Smile, as a souvenir."
Chu Yu didn't understand, but he still curled his lips, thinking it was just doting on his silly son.
[Popular Post: Where's the host? Come out and say something. This super topic is going crazy. Isn't it time for someone to take charge and sort things out?]
[Hot Comment: Looks like there's another person who doesn't know. The host is an elementary school student. He's probably just finished his homework and gone to bed. Don't expect him to do that. I'll ask the big fans for you.]
[Blogger's reply: Is this so outrageous? Then this super topic is just a huge makeshift group.]
[Comment reply: Not really. Aside from the elementary school host and his buddies who just eat and do nothing, the other big fans still put in a lot of effort and organized many activities.]
[Blogger's reply: This is the first time I've seen this kind of CP fans dragging the host along... I've learned a lot.]
After reading this post, Luo Jiayu raised his eyebrows, immediately clicked the Edit Weibo button, selected the new photo in the gallery, added words and posted it.
The host who just eats and does nothing is now here to do something.
