88: Chapter 88: Let's learn about tea for fitness.
After the livestream ended, Lin Chuyan accepted an interview with Bilibili at the hotel.
This part wasn't just aimless chatting; it was basically all about music.
Or, one could say, the livestream was about the "person," while the interview was about the "music."
The entire program used the livestream + interview format to fully showcase the image of a "musician."
However, he wasn't nervous about this part now. If they wanted to talk about music, then talk about it; all those professional vocal music books he'd read weren't for nothing.
After the interview, he had a meal with a few people.
As they parted ways, Li Xue naturally didn't forget to ask for an autograph...
He hadn't written one for anyone since transmigrating, so Lin Chuyan felt a bit rusty, but he took the pen and wrote a dedicated autograph for her.
"To Li Xue: Wishing you get rich soon! — Lin Chuyan."
What a simple and lovely blessing.
After seeing Li Xue and the others off, he returned to the hotel, and the system's voice finally rang out.
Ding!
[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission: Filming "the hovering blade"]
[Congratulations to the host for receiving a reward: Treasure Chest (Silver)]
He opened the treasure chest.
[Congratulations to the host for receiving 8 points of Basic Attributes (can be distributed freely)]
[Congratulations to the host for receiving 4 points of Specialized Skills (can be distributed freely)]
[Congratulations to the host for receiving the complete Songwriting for the work "Slow Soul"]
No skill given.
The points were okay, not too few—though after experiencing several golden treasure chests, it was hard not to feel a bit of a letdown.
But he had come to terms with it now.
Obtaining points wasn't just limited to treasure chests; in fact, every time he seriously read, studied, or acted, his points would slowly rise. This was tangible, visible progress.
The song was also good; it was by Crowd Lu, and another song he could sing very well at his current stage.
He immediately turned on his computer and registered the copyright.
He picked up his Guitar and slowly pondered the newly acquired song.
"The sunset glow shines brightly on me, a dandelion floats past the window."
"Right on the streets of the small town, I walk alone counting streetlights."
The lyrics were truly good, with such strong imagery.
Comparing it to his current mood, Lin Chuyan quickly fell in love with this song.
"Eventually, I will get used to this life, there are too many confusions I don't want to understand."
"Right when there is no moonlight, a meteor streaks past behind me."
"The breeze blows gently, blowing until my heart breaks, I fly like a kite, blown so far away."
"Crossing over the boundless seaside, I only want to fly slowly."
"The breeze blows gently, who is shedding tears, I fly like a kite, crossing far beyond the boundaries."
"The moment the meteor streaks by, I finally realize I can't find, oh my world..."
...
What a line: "I finally realize I can't find my world."
As Lin Chuyan played and sang, he suddenly stopped and stared blankly for a while, his mind filled with many, many things from his past life.
However, compared to his current life, it seemed there wasn't much to miss.
Come to think of it...
The off-season filming had finally come to an end; he should be able to rest comfortably for a while.
Spring Festival was approaching, and his parents far away had already called several times to ask when he would be coming home.
There was also a cute girl who was equally eager to return, and they had already scheduled a time to meet.
What kind of life is the end of it all?
Anyway, Lin Chuyan was quite content with his current life.
There was money in his bank account, and the remaining pursuits were the real ones.
For example, mastering the musical instruments he currently had.
Or, for instance, honing his Singing Ability to be even better.
And then there was his acting career; after all, with the system, as his acting skills improved, couldn't he win an award or something?
Well, that was thinking a bit too far ahead.
After becoming familiar with the song and playing and singing it a few more times, he felt an incomparable peace in his heart.
In this world, some people were starting to arrange marriage and having children; some were still frantically sending out resumes to find a job; others were preparing for the college entrance exam, hoping to get into a good university.
Every person who works hard at life is worthy of admiration.
However, these days where the body, mind, and soul are so busy they can't stop, it's really easy to lose oneself and fail to find one's own world—that inner spiritual world in everyone's heart.
Lin Chuyan suddenly understood why the song was titled "Slow Soul."
...
The production crew had booked him a flight for the next afternoon, and he would have to check out of the hotel tomorrow at noon.
Lin Chuyan started packing his luggage.
A guy's luggage is actually very simple; he had lived here for over a month, but there really wasn't much to pack.
The things that took up the most space were just clothes and books.
He would carry his Guitar with him.
He planned to mail his Violin back home to continue practicing, and then go bother his parents—if he didn't add points to it, it would really be too painful to listen to.
There was also a beautifully wrapped gift box in the drawer that he had to take.
This was a New Year's gift he had prepared for Ruan Xingyu—TOM FORD perfume.
50ml was over 2,000, and 100ml was over 3,000. No need to say which one had better value, right?
For a few days, Lin Chuyan would go out after finishing his scenes, searching for a long time before finally selecting this White Musk.
It wasn't that kind of heavy scent; it was very gentle. If he had to describe it, he felt it was a bit like the smell of just getting into bed after taking a shower...
He inexplicably felt it suited his girlfriend very well.
Cute and lovely, and smelling fragrant.
He naturally didn't forget about his teacher.
Li Mujian had to walk quite a bit in the small town every day, so he bought him a pair of very comfortable shoes for walking.
For his teacher's wife, he got a new set of kitchenware; last time he went to his teacher's house to cook, he noticed the kitchenware was a bit old, so this time he could just replace them all.
These two items were bought online and had long been mailed to his home for Wu Yue to help put inside the house.
...
Not long after finishing packing, a WeChat friend request suddenly popped up on his phone.
He clicked on it casually.
The other party's WeChat name was Xuanxuan.
The avatar was a strange girl, who actually looked quite pretty.
The friend request message was a simple four words: "Long time no see~"
Long time no see? Was that a friend of the original owner?
Lin Chuyan racked his brain, but couldn't remember who this person was at all.
He clicked accept.
The other party quickly sent a message.
Xuanxuan: "Hello, long time no see."
Lin Chuyan didn't reply; he clicked into the other party's Moments.
[The other party only displays Moments from the last three days]
Fine.
Lin: "Hello, I don't know you, do I?"
After about a minute, the other party sent another message.
Xuanxuan: "Sorry, it seems I added the wrong person [aggrieved emoji]."
Lin: "It's fine."
Xuanxuan: "Really sorry, everyone in my WeChat is a friend from real life. But adding you by accident is also a kind of fate? You're my first netizen [cute emoji]."
Lin: "..."
Why does this routine look so familiar?
Xuanxuan, right? Fate, right?
He clicked on the other party's profile picture and saved it.
He then opened a random webpage and clicked image search.
...
Xuanxuan: "I'm a bit bored, do you have time to chat with me?"
Lin: "Sure, I don't have anything to do right now anyway. What do you want to talk about?"
Xuanxuan: "Which city are you in?"
Lin: "Mountain City."
Xuanxuan: "What a coincidence, I'm also in Mountain City. What kind of work do you do?"
Here it comes, here it comes, asking about work.
Lin Chuyan decided to strike first.
Lin: "There's a tea mountain in my hometown. My grandpa grows tea, and we can pick a lot of tea every year. Do you want some? I can get you some."
Xuanxuan: "I don't need any for now. What about you? What kind of work do you do yourself?"
Lin: "Fitness Consultant, do you want to get a membership? If you need fitness, you can come to us."
Xuanxuan: "...I don't need that for now either."
Xuanxuan: "You said you're a Fitness Consultant? Fake, right?"
Lin: "It's real, as real as you."
Xuanxuan: "...I'm so bored alone, what about you, are you alone too?"
Lin: "Yeah, I'm at a hotel. Do you really not need fitness? How about I give you a 50% discount? Top up 2,000 and get 2,000 free, it's very cost-effective."
Xuanxuan: "I really don't need it. Why are you alone at a hotel?"
Lin: "Here in Mountain City for travel, going back to my hometown soon. I still have to help Grandpa stir-fry tea when I get back. Grandpa works too hard, do you want to buy some? It's not expensive, 500 yuan per jin, it's all good tea."
Xuanxuan: "I already said I'm not buying! I don't drink tea!"
Lin: "Why so fierce?"
Xuanxuan: "...Sorry."
Lin: "Fine, I forgive you."
Xuanxuan: "..."
Xuanxuan: "I'm also going back to my hometown for the New Year soon. Since we're both still in Mountain City, can I come find you to hang out?"
This isn't right.
Lin Chuyan was a bit confused.
Could it be a honey trap?
This was going a bit too far; he didn't intend to continue playing along.
Lin: "Hang out how?"
Xuanxuan: "Annoying!"
Lin: "..."
Xuanxuan: "Can I?"
Lin: "No. You won't get a membership card, and you won't buy tea, so get lost! Go play somewhere else!"
A minute later.
Xuanxuan: "You're not a Fitness Consultant at all! And growing tea and stir-frying tea, you're full of shit!"
Lin: "So smelly, so smelly."
After waiting for a while, the other party never replied again.
He tried sending another message, only to find that the other party had already blocked him.
Can't handle it, huh?
Are the scammers these days a bit too fragile?
...
On the other side.
Sun Yiyi opened another dialog box.
"Ruan Xingyu, your boyfriend is quite sick!"
Xingxing: "?"
Xingxing: "You added him as a friend?"
Sun Yiyi: "I did, and deleted him in a fit of anger. I even disguised myself as a strange woman to seduce him and test him."
Xingxing: "...I think you're quite sick too."
Sun Yiyi: "...You're right, I really lost my mind."
Xingxing: "And then?"
Sun Yiyi sent over the chat history.
Xingxing: "Hahahaha!"
Sun Yiyi: "Sorry! I was naive! I admit, although he's sick, at least he's not just any promiscuous man."
Xingxing: "How should I put it! If something really happened, he would be the one losing out, right? After all, he's so handsome [drool emoji]."
Sun Yiyi: "..."
Sun Yiyi: "How long has this symptom of being a fangirl been going on?"
