Chapter 17 Assignment Received
The seafood buffet restaurant, Chiba completely unleashed the appetite.
Song Yingchen had already collapsed on the card seat with her stomach up, and she kept stacking empty plates in front of her.
"Don't feel it yet?" Song Yingchen asked, looking stunned.
She shook her head: "I told you, I didn't feel like I had it since I was a child. ”
"Incredible, I think it will work."
"What do you mean?" She asked, her cheeks stuffed like a goldfish.
"Live broadcast, didn't you say you don't know what to broadcast, just broadcast this, eat!"
"Eat! No, no, forget it. ”
"Tsk, listen to me, yes." Song Yingchen slapped the table and said with great certainty, "I'm sure, you will definitely become an Internet celebrity." ”
She smiled embarrassedly, feeling strange in her heart. A girl who is noticed and even appreciated by her food consumption is really nothing to be excited about. But then again, this era of exclusive "breast" skills and appearance seems to have little to do with her, compared to brute force performances such as chest crushing boulders, eating is already very decent.
Puzzled, she asked, "Why do those people want to see others eat?" ”
Song Yingchen cleared his throat and said in a sophisticated voice: "First, emptiness. Watching the anchor gulp down something will give you a sense of fullness that you are filled. Second, it is real enough, those stars on TV have idol baggage, and it is impossible to show the side of daily life to the camera, every frame of the picture is repaired and modified and changed, which is boring. What everyone wants to see, in fact, is the prosaic things such as eating and sleeping, which have the most audience. ”
"But I think everyone still wants to see beautiful, elegant, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." Thinking of the Porsche clothes store outside the door, she knew she would never be that kind of woman in her life.
"You haven't been to the United States, the streets are full of fat people wearing 4XL, and no woman will show low self-esteem. On the contrary, they all hold their heads high and always feel that they are the best. So, the key is self-confidence, as long as you are confident enough, you can perform anything. ”
"Of course I haven't been to the United States." She muttered quietly, "Lucheng is the farthest place I've ever been." ”
"So, the farther you go, the wider your horizons become, the wider your horizons are, and the more alive you are." Song Yingchen pointed to his head, "Try it, huh?" ”
The elk's eyes began to glow.
"This ...... I...... But...... All right. Once again, she "disarmed and surrendered."
Song Yingchen snapped his fingers and took a sip of coffee.
"By the way, my mother said that you are from outsider, why did you come to Lucheng?" Suddenly, he asks her first question about her privacy, which catches her off guard. This was actually a respectful question, and the tone was polite and respectful, but she still felt oppressed, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a while. She thought that she couldn't tell Song Yingchen that she had a deep hatred of blood on her back, and she came to Lucheng to chase the murderer. What is the difference between this and the plot of those third-rate TV series, how can he believe it.
However, there is also a faint sadness that wraps her - even if Song Yingchen believes in her tortuous past, he is a handsome and golden son, a semi-stranger who has met a few times, he can sigh for the story, but it is impossible for the heartache of the people in the story.
"Who doesn't like ...... in a big city like Lucheng" In the end, she pretended to be relaxed and looked around the restaurant, covering up, "There are many opportunities in life, and everyone wants to integrate in and become one of them." Having said that, there is silence in my heart. These things do exist, but they correspond to Feiran's personal conditions, which she doesn't have.
If you say something against your heart to someone you like, it's like a sawdust stuck in your flesh, and you can't pull it out if you want to.
"I like places with fewer people, and it's okay to be poor." Song Yingchen's deer-like eyes flashed with a smart light again, and he expressed a different opinion, "Big cities are flashy and hypocritical, and it is easy to lose yourself, so it's better to be simple." You see those who start to make money desperately when they open their eyes, sometimes they really can't understand why they live like a machine. Do people live for work, I think it's more important to do what I'm interested in, no matter how much money I make, I can't fill the emptiness in my heart, just enough to eat and use, I don't like to put life in the eyes of money, that kind of life is actually the poorest. ”
"Maybe this is the siege, someone wants to come out, someone wants to go in." She really didn't want Song Yingchen to misunderstand that she came to Lucheng because she was greedy for vanity and chasing fame and fortune, but it was obvious that he was thinking about it.
"I suggest that you start a live broadcast not only to help you earn living expenses, to be honest, as a friend, I hope you can find a way to make yourself happy and safe."
Friend, happiness, safety - these three words stirred up a thousand ripples in her heart, and a complex emotion rose spontaneously.
"You think I'm not happy enough and not safe enough?"
She pretended to smile and wanted to deny these facts, not to save face, but to be unwilling to involve the other party in her complicated and embarrassing past. She just wanted to simply eat and chat with him, look at the eyes as shining as elk, and listen to the pleasant sound of a mountain spring.
"I'm very accurate." Song Yingchen smiled and didn't continue to say anything.
The two were silent for a minute or two, and then she suddenly remembered something, and took out the sketch from her bag - the word "chocolate" had been torn out by her.
"By the way, help me see where this is, in Lucheng?"
Song Yingchen took it for a while, and he didn't see anything.
"I don't know, there is a place for this kind of tone in Lucheng?" He asked rhetorically.
"What about the surrounding area, is there an ancient town like this?"
He kept shaking his head and pursed his lips.
"I've been to all the surrounding ancient towns, but I've never seen anything like this. It's a water town, it looks a bit old...... Who drew it? ”
"Oh, my classmate drew it."
"Your classmate told you that this place is in Lucheng?"
"No, I'm just asking." She picked up the sketch and turned her face unnaturally.
"It's a mediocre drawing, amateur, isn't it?" Song Yingchen focused on the skills of the sketcher.
"It's okay, it's better than my drawing anyway...... Do you still eat ice cream, I'll get it. She hurriedly pulled the conversation away.
After eating, Song Yingchen gentlemanly sent her back to the cherry blossom apartment, and after a brief goodbye, she took a taxi and left.
She asked Da Mao with a sketch again, Da Mao rarely went out of the apartment, so she helped ask a lot of questions in the community, but found nothing.
She wondered what this sketch was trying to convey, and how to crack the code, I was afraid that she had to wait for the mysterious person to answer.
On the other hand, the suggestion to start a live broadcast was taken seriously, not because of the suggestion itself, but because of the person who made the suggestion. can't say why, she just has an inexplicable obedience to Song Yingchen, and her intuition tells her that this boy is trustworthy.
Back at 1101, she opened the live broadcast platform and searched, and there were really many performances of eating. Those anchors are generally not pretty, which makes her feel a little relieved. Especially one of the fat girls, who eats as much as her, but looks more passerby. But the fat girl has so many fans that it fills the whole room, and the tips are constantly being given and interacted with.
Of course, people still have one more important thing than her - self-confidence. Boldly facing the camera, able to speak well, as if he has received systematic expression management, and has mastered flexible adaptability.
And she's exactly like a log.
"Don't think about the money you shouldn't be earning." Everything was difficult at the beginning, but she was afraid that she would not give up, and she started to retreat again.
Unexpectedly, this decision changed completely the next day.
The next day, not far from the apartment, the owner of the grocery store across the street waved at her and said that there was a phone call for her to answer. Confused, she picked up the phone, and a woman's voice came from the other end.
"Prepare 10,000 yuan within a month."
She was stunned, wondering if the other party had made the wrong person.
"What...... Who are you? ”
"Chocolate."
"Ah, it's you!" She almost screamed, but she didn't expect the chocolate to be a woman, "I saw the sketch, what does it mean, is the place in the painting in Lucheng, do you want me to go there?" ”
"What's in a hurry, keep it first, and one day you'll be able to use it. Lu Meiqin should have told you, to know the truth, you must come step by step. From now on, you have to listen to my arrangement, and you will get what you want when the task is completed. ”
Chiba replied without thinking: "Okay, I believe you, tell me what you want to do, I'll do it right away." She was in a hurry, eager to complete the task immediately, but she didn't know that the chocolate's test for her had just begun.
"Take your time, don't you say it, you have to stay in Lucheng for at least a year."
"One year...... So when will I see you? ”
"I'll meet when it's time to meet, so let's go."
Smack – the phone hangs up.
She was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth and kept looking around. Electricians work on telephone poles, vendors sweep up dust in front of doors, students walk in pairs, and elderly people returning home from grocery shopping......
She couldn't guess which one was chocolate when she cut out her head, but it was clear that her every move was in the mystery man's field of vision.
"Give the money, why did you leave?" The grocery store owner shouted.
"Oh, I'm sorry." She had already taken a few steps and came back to her senses and hurriedly paid the phone bill.
10,000 yuan, in a month - this is not an easy task. Scraping together so much money in just a few dozen days, it is simply impossible with her current income, even if the children's clothing store pays her salary in advance, it is still a big difference, where to find this money?
In an instant, Song Yingchen flashed in her mind, not to borrow money from him, but his proposal - live broadcast.
Then, she pondered the use of the 10,000 yuan.
"Are you selling me information?" She thought, but quickly overturned this idea, "I'm so poor, even if I have cramps and broken bones, I can't get a few children, and I'm not as rich as Aunt Lu......"
Before I could figure it out, my thoughts shifted to the other side.
"Chocolate turned out to be a woman!" The image of the mysterious man wearing a hat and a masked face and a properly strange man collapsed in her heart, "What does she have to do with what happened seventeen years ago?" Does she know her mother? Why are you hiding from me? The clues given every time are scattered, but they are so heart-wrenching, what is she selling? ”
A lot of problems hit her, and she didn't have any work in the children's clothing store that day.
"Let's do it."
After an afternoon of struggling with her thoughts, she decided to stop thinking nonsense. Action is the only thing that can be done at this time, and there is no other way than to believe in the chocolate and do what is told.
You have to make money, make money quickly, and make up 10,000 yuan within the specified time limit.
Among the many live broadcast platforms, she selected the one with fast settlement and good reputation, registered, bound a bank card, and officially became an intern anchor.
She gave herself a silly and earthy name - Sunny Sky Chiba. Because the name of the welfare home is sunny days, in addition to that, I also hope that the days in the future will always be sunny.
