Chapter 23 By your side, even the stars seem more radiant.
Zhou Chong immediately made a phone call.
The phone rang in the live broadcast room.
Zhou Chong watched as Qingshan Xiaobao went to get his phone and glanced at it.
It's over.
Qingshan Xiaobao actually hung up on him!
Zhou Chong jumped up, wishing he could disappear into the phone screen, appear on the spot, grab Zhou Shuo, and kick him out!
But there's nothing he can do now.
Zhou Chong's anger surged.
Concentrate intently, watching carefully what Qingshan Xiaobao is about to say.
Shan Qingshan said, "The production team has arranged a mystery mission for tomorrow, and I have to get up at three o'clock. After I leave, there will be no one at home to take care of you."
good.
I refused.
She truly is his precious treasure.
Zhou Chong felt relieved and immediately called You Liang after hearing this.
Upon seeing that it was Zhou Chonglai calling, You Liang got up and walked out of the camera's field of vision.
He thought his brother had seen it.
The call connected.
"Are you dead? That little brat wanted to get into my wife's bed, and you just stood there without saying a word?"
You Liang said weakly, "I didn't have time, brother, before your call came."
"Try giving me another excuse then?"
Zhou Chong watched as Zhou Shuo wrapped his arms around Shan Qingshan's legs in the live stream.
Cold face.
This kid...
What a clingy person!
They have the same persona as him! And the production team isn't even doing anything about it!
"Don't turn on the speakerphone. Call Zhou Shuo out to answer the phone with you."
You Liang immediately yelled into the house, summoning Zhou Shuo out.
"Brother, Zhou Shuo is here."
Zhou Chong spoke in a somber tone, enunciating each word clearly: "Zhou, Shuo."
It's like the King of Hell checking off the troops.
You Liang's back instantly broke out in a sweat.
Zhou Chong: "You rebelled while I was away?"
Zhou Shuo, unafraid of Zhou Chong, replied, "No."
Zhou Chong: "If you don't want to die in the single digits, you'd better leave my territory with You Liang right now."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Shan Qingshan snatched his phone away.
The live stream room was also brought in.
Zhou Chong immediately switched into a master of changing expressions, and said aggrievedly, "Qingshan Xiaobao, why did you hang up on me?"
What were you saying to Zhou Shuo just now?
Zhou Shuo answered quickly, "My brother said I lived to be a single digit."
Shan Qingshan's face darkened. "What nonsense are you spouting with a child?"
[Hilarious, a betrayal from my own brother!]
The young master is even jealous of his own younger brother.
After watching for so long, I bet the young master is absolutely serious!
...
Zhou Chong cursed Zhou Shuo several times in his heart.
The CPU was running at full speed.
Knowing he couldn't explain it, he didn't dwell on the matter, which put him at a disadvantage, and said aggrievedly, "You're not allowed to sleep with him."
"I have no plans."
"You just hung up on me, yet you were so nice to Zhou Shuo. As soon as I left, you found another little darling."
Zhou Chong, consumed by jealousy, blurted out.
"Qingshan Xiaobao, if Zhou Shuo and I both fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?"
Shan Qingshan remained silent for a moment, then laughed angrily and cursed him.
Are you sick?
Zhou Chong knew from his words that he wasn't really angry.
They became overjoyed and pushed their luck.
"What should I do? He's really gotten himself into a jealous situation by messing with me."
You Liang stood there dumbfounded.
On the list of most obsessed with romance, Wang Baochuan unfortunately fell to second place, while her brother ranked first.
Ignoring his nonsense, Shan Qingshan hung up the phone and said to Zhou Shuo, "Don't pay attention to him. I told the village chief when I came back that you'll have lunch at his house tomorrow morning. I'll take care of Grandma, so you don't need to worry about her. If I'm not back by morning, go to the village chief's house for lunch at 11 o'clock. Don't be later than that, or there won't be any food."
Zhou Shuo nodded.
knew.
Because I have to get up early tomorrow, today's live stream is ending early.
Shan Qingshan told You Liang and Zhou Shuo to go back.
No sooner had he left than Zhou Chong called again.
"What mission requires getting up so early?"
"We brought some agricultural products that weren't featured on the live stream to the city to set up stalls. The production team didn't want a large influx of fans, so they asked us to keep it a secret."
Zhou Chong frowned as he listened.
It was 3 a.m. in December.
How cold must it be?
"Setting up a stall again? Not satisfied with the town, now they want to go to the city? Is the production crew out of work? Do they only have heads to make themselves look taller? They made you up so early in the morning, who's going to take responsibility if you get cold?"
Zhou Chong felt increasingly distressed as he thought about it, and his tone grew harsher and harsher.
He's someone you'd hold in your palm so tightly you'd be afraid of hurting your knuckles, and the production team treats him like this?
The young master's temper flared up immediately.
“I told them, we’re not going.”
Zhou Chong felt sorry for him.
Shan Qingshan could tell.
Getting up at 3 a.m. is common in rural areas; during the harvest season, some people even stay up all night.
He took it for granted, but some people felt sorry for him.
However, there was something he needed to tell Zhou Chong first.
"It was my idea."
Zhou Chong has become mute.
The world suddenly became very quiet.
To be precise, this idea was proposed by Shan Qingshan and was the result of discussions and refinements by the program team, guests, and village committee.
Some agricultural products cannot be transported over long distances, as this would affect their freshness and incur high transportation costs. Other agricultural products are of slightly lower quality than those sold online, with minor imperfections. They are all grown with great effort; they can't just rot in the fields.
They decided to have someone from the village drive to the city to set up a stall and see how things went.
If things go well, we can successfully open up offline sales channels.
Online drives offline.
Offline to online.
Even after the show's popularity and buzz fade, the products will still sell.
Zhou Chongdao said, "That's good."
Zhou Chong: "It's pretty good."
Zhou Chong: "You want to expand offline sales channels and also sell the products that can't be sold through live streaming, right? Hmm, great. I only have a problem with getting up at 3 a.m., but I have no problem with the idea itself, it's fantastic!"
Shan Qingshan chuckled when he heard his attitude make a complete 180-degree turn.
He didn't say anything, put his phone aside, and started washing up.
"You should wear more clothes tomorrow morning. I have a long down jacket there. Wear it so your butt won't get cold."
"Will you see stars when you wake up tomorrow?"
"The stars here are not as numerous or as beautiful as those there."
Zhou Chong kept rambling on and on, regardless of whether Shan Qingshan answered or not.
Shan Qingshan asked, "Can you see stars in the city? Won't buildings block the view?"
Zhou Chong looked at his villa, which occupied half a mountain, and remained silent for a moment.
No one on this earth dares to build a house in front of his house and block his view.
Zhou Chong: "I can see it from my house. Do you want to come to my house to see it sometime?"
Shan Qingshan: "You said it wouldn't look good, so why should I go?"
Zhou Chong: "..."
I was careless.
Shan Qingshan: "It's all under the same sky, what's the difference?"
Zhou Chong tilted his head and looked out the window at the sky.
"It's probably because you didn't watch it with me."
His voice was tinged with loneliness and a hint of vulnerability.
Before Shan Qingshan could think of what to say, Zhou Chong said again, "I miss you."
The voice was even softer, more forlorn, and more fragile than before.
But Shan Qingshan heard it clearly, and he suddenly stopped washing his face, only continuing after a while.
There was a long silence on the phone.
After washing up, Shan Qingshan went to bed.
Zhou Chongcai said, "Regarding that question... if Zhou Shuo and I fall into the water, I don't want you to jump in, it's too dangerous. I will rescue Zhou Shuo, you just need to hand me a towel from the shore."
Zhou Chong paused for a moment, then added.
"You have to hand it to me first."
