New Year ends, depart for Manjila
Chen Xiu looked at the tombstone, then his eyes fell on Lucky, and he whispered, "Take Lucky to see my parents, we are very happy together."
Spring Festival couplets, fireworks, firecrackers...
He bought almost all the items on the New Year's Eve must-have list mentioned in the group, and also brought Lucky to meet his parents. With everyone's blessings on the New Year's Eve, this year is different from previous years for Shen Xiu, and he is indeed very happy.
Xiang Yueting on the other end of the phone was not sure what he was doing, but he suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, Xiang Xiaobao, you are too stupid!"
After Xiang Yueting finished laughing, he seemed to remember that he was still in the group voice chat. Thinking of what he just heard, he quickly said, "...Okay, Captain Xiu, I heard it. Say hello to uncle and aunt for me! Happy New Year to Captain Xiu and uncle and aunt!"
Shen Xiu nodded seriously: "Thank you."
After that, he quickly added: "Happy New Year to you and your uncle and aunt."
"Okay~"
Not long after Xiang Yueting responded, he wished everyone in the group voice a happy new year and then hung up.
On New Year's Eve, family members and relatives who used to go their separate ways rarely saw each other and were all very busy. The other people in the group, like Xiang Yueting, wished each other a Happy New Year and ended the short call.
When everyone heard Shen Xiu's answer, which was similar to what netizens had guessed, they were not surprised and did not ask any more questions.
The group voice ended and Shen Xiu put away his phone.
Thinking of what his friends had just said, Shen Xiu repeated them one by one to the double tomb in front of him.
In the cemetery, the whistling cold wind blew on his face, and the sound of the wind was accompanied by Shen Xiu's voice as he spoke softly to his parents.
There were only eight friends in the group, and Chen Xiu quickly delivered everyone's New Year's greetings.
Shen Xiu didn't feel anything when he was talking, but he suddenly stopped. Only the sound of the wind lingered in his ears, and the excitement of the previous few minutes disappeared without a trace.
But Chen Xiu discovered that even though there was only the sound of the wind at this moment and it was no longer as lively as before, he did not have the empty feeling in his heart and all around him that he had when he was sitting alone in the room before.
Shen Xiu took a deep breath, lowered his eyes and took out his phone again, wanting to see what time it was before deciding whether he should go back.
When the system came online again, I saw Shen Xiu’s slender knuckles on his right hand opened the phone camera and said tremblingly: [No, you don’t want to take a photo and send it to your social account? 】
It's not its fault for thinking so, but Shen Xiu's previous actions were more and more outrageous, which made it think more when Shen Xiu took out his mobile phone and looked at the tombstone hesitantly.
The system cannot imagine that on this day of family happiness and reunion, the pictures posted by others on their Moments or social accounts are either a family eating a reunion dinner around a round table, or a close-up photo of the family.
Only Shen Xiu posted a photo with the tombstone.
It’s so scary, the horror effect is at its maximum!
Just imagining, the system feels that its already unstable database has become even more unstable.
Because it is difficult to operate with one hand, after unlocking it, I accidentally clicked on the camera’s Shen Xiu: “?”
Shen Xiu was speechless for a moment.
After a few seconds of silence, Shen Xiu couldn't help but ask: "System, you... have a unique habit."
He is not sick and would not post photos of the cemetery to randomly scare fans and passers-by who see his photos.
He himself is not afraid, but he also knows that many people are different from him.
Moreover, he did not want to expose the location of his parents' grave. Those people did not seem to be very happy to see them living well. It was okay to disturb him, but not his parents.
Thinking of this, Shen Xiu realized belatedly that no one had disturbed him for so long since he came out of the training camp. Those people were too quiet, which was completely different from his childhood memories. This seemed a bit strange.
But Chen Xiu felt that he couldn't think about those people with a normal mindset, so he gave up and didn't think about it any more.
system:【? 】
Isn't what Chen Xiu said the wrong way? The person with the unique hobby is obviously Chen Xiu himself!
Turning off the camera, Shen Xiu glanced at the time, put away his phone, and said to his parents: "Mom and Dad, Happy New Year, I will come to see you next time."
After saying this, Shen Xiu began to pack up the items he brought.
There were a lot of things, and the fireworks and firecrackers were only opened to show his parents without being set off. Chen Xiu put them back into the cardboard box and packed them up.
Finally, just in case, before leaving, Chen Xiu poured a bottle of water on the place where he had just burned Spring Festival couplets and paper. Seeing that the ashes were all soaked with water, Chen Xiu began to move the packed things back into the car.
After moving back and forth several times, Chen Xiu finally finished moving.
Under the cool moonlight, except for the offerings in front of Shen Xiu's parents' tomb, everything else was packed up and taken away, and the area around the cemetery was clean.
Chen Xiu was almost the same when he left as when he came. Even if someone came to pay homage the next day like Chen Xiu did on New Year's Day, they would not have thought that someone had been there yesterday.
The system watched Chen Xiu leave the cemetery, still unable to figure out why Chen Xiu had just turned off the camera.
The system couldn't stop thinking about it, and asked when Shen Xiu started the car to leave the cemetery: [So, why did you turn on the camera? 】
Chen Xiu looked at the empty road ahead, and after hearing what the system said, he finally understood why the system had misunderstood that he wanted to take a photo. He replied embarrassedly: "Sorry, I accidentally clicked the camera and caused you to misunderstand."
system:【......】
The system didn't say anything, and Shen Xiu defended himself: "I'm normal. I wouldn't do something like taking pictures of the cemetery to scare others."
system:【......】
Would a normal person come to the cemetery to celebrate New Year's Eve? Even with this, Shen Xiu still has the nerve to say that he is normal?
Haha, as expected, most normal people would not say that they are normal!
At about one in the morning, Chen Xiu returned to Yulin Banxia.
Lukcy went out for a walk and seemed to be tired. When he came back home, he didn't even bother to meow. He jumped out of Chen Xiu's arms, walked to Chen Xiu's master bedroom, raised his black paws and scratched the door twice, then turned his head to look at Chen Xiu who was following behind him.
Shen Xiu: “…”
Although Lucky didn't say anything, but seeing it turn its head to look at him, Chen Xiu always felt that Lucky was saying: Shit shoveler, open the door, understand?
Shen Xiu raised his hand and silently opened the door to the master bedroom.
During the time when he went out to film, he didn't dare to talk to Lucky, for fear that Lucky would miss him more if he talked, but he couldn't see her and could only watch her silently.
He clearly saw that Lucky jumped up from the ground every night, hung on the door handle like a whole cat, and forcibly opened the bedroom door and went in to sleep.
But now...
Chen Xiu's gaze fell on Lucky, who was looking at him with her head raised and her big innocent eyes. He pretended to know nothing and silently raised his hand to open the bedroom door.
The moment the door opened, Lucky walked into the bedroom without looking back and lay down in the cat bed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
The system was amazed: […Do you know that when you are not at home, Lucky jumps up and down, but when you come back, Lucky becomes a weak little cat who can’t take care of himself, rubbing his trouser legs after walking a few steps, and can’t even open the door? 】
Chen Xiu: "...I know, but...Lucky is so cute like this, don't you think?"
system:【......】
The word envy is already too much! Why didn't it realize before that Shen Xiu was so hypocritical!
Seeing that Lucky didn't move, Shen Xiu was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He turned back to the living room and packed up the things he brought back.
After cleaning up, Shen Xiu picked up the phone on the table, and the time had come to two o'clock in the morning.
Shen Xiu put down his phone and found that he had no desire to sleep.
Chen Xiu, who was completely sleepless, turned on his phone, opened his homepage, and clicked on the comment section of the New Year's greetings Weibo post he had posted on a scheduled basis.
Most of the comments were wishing him a happy new year. Shen Xiu read it from the beginning and typed back the blessings one by one.
The scholars thought that after Shen Xiu posted a scheduled New Year's greeting on Weibo at midnight, he would not have time to log in to his blog tonight, so they all went to the official account of "Storm" for team building.
@Storm official account: Happy New Year everyone~
[GIF x6]
Under the New Year's greetings posted by the official Weibo of "Storm", the first five chapters are animated pictures of the crew's filming in Yicheng, and only the last one is a group photo of the entire crew.
——To be honest, the crew of "The Storm" is very prestigious, as they were able to borrow so many luxury cars!
——Is this the main point? The point is that this is at Borsen Manor, OK? !
——The entire The Galaxy lineup is already rare and luxurious. I can’t even imagine how extravagant and inhumane the feature film will be. I have a feeling that “Storm” will become an unprecedented and irreplaceable series in the entertainment industry.
——Add ID number. After all, Yu Bao replied to the comments on Weibo. It seems that he is going back to inherit the family business. It may be difficult to gather all the members of The Galaxy in the future.
——My dears, please come back to Xiubao’s comment section. Xiubao is chatting with us in the comment section!
After the enthusiastic scholars called out, the scholars who were building a team under "Storm" clicked on the homepage of Shenxiu one after another.
——Here I come, Sack Man, and grab Xiubao in one go!
——Are you still awake so late? Rounding it off, we are spending the New Year with Xiubao!
——I opened the time and took a look. It was almost half past two! Can Xiubao reply to me? (wink) I can’t get the same autograph as Mrs. Ying, I want Xiubao’s reply (looking forward to it)
Shen Xiu replied for half an hour, closed Weibo, and got up from the sofa in the living room.
After Chen Xiu packed up his things, he turned off the lights in the house. At this moment, the living room was illuminated by the fire from the fireworks set off uniformly in the city outside the floor-to-ceiling windows and the moonlight.
The system thought Shen Xiu would go to the bedroom, but unexpectedly Shen Xiu went to the study, opened his notebook and started writing his paper.
System: [Don’t you want to sleep? 】
Shen Xiu said embarrassedly: "...I can't sleep."
This year is so different from previous years, and he is still excited.
[…You won’t be like this for the three days of the New Year, right? 】
The system couldn't imagine how happy Shen Xiu was in his heart to be so happy that he couldn't fall asleep.
Shen Xiu thought of the enthusiastic fans in the comments and said shyly: "Maybe..."
Whether it was his offline friends or his online fans, Shen Xiu couldn't control his excitement when he thought about it, and when he was excited, he couldn't sleep.
In order to make Shen Xiu get used to the excitement brought by others and avoid affecting his sleep, the system suggested: [Since you are not going anywhere during the New Year, why not start a live broadcast. 】
Chat more with the fans in the live broadcast room, maybe you can develop a habit of it and won’t be so excited that you can’t fall asleep easily.
Chen Xiu put himself in the mood of going home for the holidays and murmured, "Usually everyone is either working or studying away from home, and only comes back for the New Year to spend time with their families. How can I have the nerve to start a live broadcast and let everyone spend time with me?"
Besides, he has no right to compete with fans’ families for people.
system:【......】
It turns out that in Shen Xiu's heart, live streaming means the company of his fans.
It was just a live broadcast during the Chinese New Year, but Chen Xiu's thoughts actually extended to "accompany". The system was speechless for a moment, not knowing whether it should be said that Chen Xiu had a miserable life in the past, or that Chen Xiu had a strong ability to empathize.
Besides...who starts writing a thesis before even seeing the shadow of their senior year?
The system didn’t understand and was greatly shocked.
The system stared at the computer screen and said quietly: [Isn’t your paper written a little too early? 】
Shen Xiu's slender fingers fell on the keyboard. Hearing this, he continued typing without any pause: "I'm free anyway..."
During the next three days of the New Year, Shen Xiu and the system lived a simple and unpretentious life, just as they had expected.
Chen Xiu was either talking in the cemetery or silently peeking at his friends chatting on the screen, and when he finally met someone he could chat with, he would immediately join in the conversation, and after the excited chat, he would go to the study to write his paper.
Blink of an eye and the New Year is over.
Most office workers' annual leave is until the 8th or 15th. Due to the urgent filming schedule, the crew of "Storm" bought tickets and went to Manjila for filming on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
On the evening of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, all the crew members of "Storm" arrived at the hotel booked by the crew in Manjila.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the crew of "Storm" posted a message in the group, confirming that they would gather at the hotel entrance at 8 o'clock the next morning and take a car to the port to take a boat out to sea.
The Galaxy arrived in Manjila yesterday at different times and took a flight for several hours to reach Manjila.
Therefore, after arriving, in order to prepare for the next day’s filming, the members of The Galaxy tacitly only spoke to each other in the group and did not meet on the same day.
Chen Xiu arrived early yesterday and, by chance, found out the location of the hotel gym. He had developed the habit of getting up early, so even without an alarm clock, his biological clock would allow him to wake up on time.
What's more, Shen Xiu went to bed early the day before and got up an hour earlier than usual today.
After waking up, Chen Xiu went to the hotel gym to exercise with the mentality of "I might as well do nothing".
Around seven o'clock, the number of people in the gym gradually increased from only Shen Xiu to sixteen people.
Shen Xiu noticed that there were several people in the gym looking at him. For Shen Xiu, this was no different from "having his first training session in front of an unfamiliar fitness coach and being embarrassed by the coach."
Shen Xiu felt very uncomfortable, so he simply went back to the hotel room to take a shower, change clothes, eat the breakfast provided by the hotel, and go downstairs to the car provided by the crew.
The driver was leaning against the car yawning in a daze. When he saw Chen Xiu walking towards him, he was startled and all his sleepiness disappeared.
As Chen Xiu approached him, the driver heard Chen Xiu's slightly hoarse voice through the mask.
"Good morning."
"Good morning," the driver responded, hurriedly opened the car door, and subconsciously said, "You're here so early!"
The next moment, the driver heard Shen Xiu's slightly cold voice again.
"......fine."
He didn't want to come so early, but plans couldn't keep up with changes. He couldn't stay in the gym. If he stayed in the hotel room alone for too long and came down too late, there would be a 99% chance that a group of people would stare at him as he got on the car when he got close to the car.
After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Xiu decisively decided to come early rather than late.
He doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the training camp!
driver:"!"
As expected of the king of competition, his assembly time is always tighter than others! If he was not in charge of driving and other crew work, he would definitely still be sleeping in his room. He would not get up until at least 7:50 to wash up and go downstairs, and he would not even bother to eat breakfast.
After the driver saw Chen Xiu get in the car, he felt embarrassed to yawn and act lazy like before in front of Chen Xiu, the king of plans. But he couldn't pretend to be busy, so he simply made an excuse to leave.
"Mr. Shen, I'm going to have breakfast. Can you stay here by yourself?"
Shen Xiu: “!”
Chen Xiu, who was hesitating about what topic he should talk about with the crew, heard the driver's words and felt like they were heavenly sounds. He excitedly said, "Okay!"
"Goodbye Mr. Shen!"
The driver said goodbye and turned away without hesitation.
Chen Xiu looked at the driver's back for a few seconds, and with his breathing a little difficult, he subconsciously raised his hand to touch his nose. Only then did he realize that after getting in the car just now, he forgot to take off his mask because his mind was full of thinking about what suitable topics to chat about.
Shen Xiu withdrew his gaze from the driver's back and took off the mask on his face awkwardly.
Taking off his mask, Shen Xiu, who was sitting in the last row, took a deep breath while no one was around.
As it got closer to eight o'clock, the nine members of The Galaxy followed the crew's request and walked towards the vehicle with obvious crew logo at the hotel entrance.
At 7:45, of the nine people from The Galaxy, only Ning Sinian was missing.
Where Xiang Yueting was, Shen Xiu didn't worry about the atmosphere becoming dull.
Ever since Xiang Yueting was the third person to get on the bus, the voices of talking in the car have never stopped.
At seven fifty, Ning Sinian hurried to the actor's car.
As soon as the car door opened, Ning Sinian met Zhuang Yi's face. He paused for a moment before getting in the car, then got in with a calm expression.
The car door closed, and Xiang Yueting stared at Ning Sinian: "Sinian, don't you have anything to say?"
As Xiang Yueting spoke, he winked in the direction of Zhuang Yi.
Meeting Zhuang Yi's eyes, Ning Sinian shook his head decisively: "No!"
Zhuang Yi looked at Xiang Yueting dimly: "How many times have you asked me this? If you ask again, I will smack you in the face after the filming is over!"
Xiang Yueting covered his face and fell back: "This is the last time! It's mainly because it's the first time I've seen people go back home for the Chinese New Year. There are only five days of vacation in total, and I can eat four pounds more than before, which is almost a pound a day. It's really amazing!"
Zhuang Yi touched his face. He didn't want to do that, but he had to eat five or six meals a day during the New Year, and he was still having dinner at two in the morning. It was really hard not to gain weight. Especially when he gained weight, it tended to grow on his face. Normally, he didn't dare to eat more.
It is easy to relax during the Chinese New Year. When he was eating, he didn't think it was a big deal. But when he looked in the mirror before returning to the crew, Zhuang Yi had an urge to die.
Especially when he met his friends, their eyes told him that he had gained weight on his face. Although... except Xiang Yueting, no one said it, but their eyes were enough to explain everything.
He now only hopes that Xuandao won’t scold him to death.
When Shen Xiu heard Xiang Yueting's words, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Xiang Yueting, and he thought silently - is Xiang Yueting really not afraid of being beaten?
Zhuang Yi sighed, pinched his face, then seemed to remember something, turned his head and looked sideways at the silent Shen Xiu in the back seat: "Captain Xiu, have you been exercising recently?"
He didn't like working out, but with someone supervising him, especially the big devil Xiu, Zhuang Yi felt that he might be able to stick to exercising.
Before Chen Xiu could speak, Song Chengwang pushed the mobile page in front of Zhuang Yi: "What do you think?"
In the photo, someone secretly took a photo of Shen Xiu running on a treadmill in the hotel gym.
The photo was posted around seven in the morning.
——So early? ! No, that is not the point, the point is that according to the published location, this is in Manjila! Why did Xiubao go to Manjila?
——I finally know how Mr. Xiu maintains his eight-pack abs!
——Xiubao, what kind of sack do you like? I have all the colors, wait for me, I'll flash to Manjila right now!
Seeing the photo and the time it was posted, Zhuang Yi asked quietly, "Captain Xiu, what time did you go to the gym to run this morning?"
The sweat on Shen Xiu's forehead and neck in the photo definitely did not come from running for more than ten minutes.
Chen Xiu finally understood why when he was in the gym before, the strangers who came in from behind him kept their eyes on him. It turned out that someone had taken a picture of him running and posted it online. Maybe everyone had seen the picture online, and when they saw it in real life, they took a few more glances out of curiosity.
"Six o'clock in the morning." He went to bed early yesterday and got up an hour earlier than usual this morning.
After hearing Shen Xiu's answer, Zhuang Yi wanted to back out.
In order to maintain a perfect figure, get up at six o'clock to exercise? devil!
"Haha, so early..." Zhuang Yi laughed awkwardly and refused to mention the matter of asking Chen Xiu to take him to exercise.
It was too early, and he couldn't get up, for fear of being killed by Shen Xiu's eyes.
Shen Xiu didn’t know what to say, so he nodded and said, “Yeah.”
At eight o'clock, all the crew members of "The Storm" arrived and set off for the port.
At half past eight, the crew's car stopped at the pier.
The people in the car got off one after another. Shi Yu, the producer who was forced to come by Xuan Yushu, got off the car. He looked at the large and small cruise ships and yachts docked at the pier and couldn't tell them apart for a moment.
Call the number you have contacted before: "Hello, may I ask, I rented..."
During the time Shi Yu was on the phone, Xiang Yueting's eyes were restless. While his phone was still there, he took out his phone and took pictures of the luxury yachts and cruise ships docked at the pier.
After taking the photos, Xiang Yueting opened the album and admired them carefully when he exclaimed, "Huh? Look!"
Xiang Yueting seemed to have discovered something surprising. As he strode towards Xia Wenhao and the others, he excitedly raised his phone and said, "The capital letters of 'SX' printed on this yacht are exactly the same as the capital letters of the repair team's name!"
Hearing Xiang Yueting's words, Shen Xiu thought of the last time the system bought a car. Cars and yachts are completely different. The salary he received can afford a car, but he definitely can't afford a yacht.
Chen Xiu was panicking and asked the system anxiously: [You won’t help me get a loan to buy a yacht, right? ! 】
good evening!
