Chapter 123 Xiangcheng, Here We Come!
Yufei put the voucher Zhu Xiangui gave her into her bag in front of him. Zhu Xiangui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yufei hadn't refused his kindness, and continued to entertain them with food and drinks.
Yufei accepted Zhu Xiangui's coupons to put his mind at ease. They weren't actually worth much money. Yufei knew that as an uncle, Zhu Xiangui wanted his niece to express her care and affection.
Her refusal would only leave Zhu Xiangui bewildered; in the Great Xia Dynasty, interpersonal relationships and connections were all manifested in these small details.
After Yufei and the others finished their meal, they chatted with Zhu Xiangui for a while. However, due to time constraints, they couldn't stay any longer and said goodbye to Zhu Xiangui. Zhu Xiangui then drove Yufei and the others to the bus station before returning home.
Yufei and her friends took a bus for nearly an hour to reach Xiangcheng. Xiangcheng was still much the same as when Yufei came here in 08 in her previous life.
Compared to when she was a child and came here, things have developed rapidly. They weren't in a rush to get back; their flight was scheduled for around 10 AM tomorrow.
They should have enough time to get a good night's sleep before setting off. Yufei told Zhu Xiangui that they were in a hurry because they wanted to explore Changsha and also participate in the "Happy 5+1" program directed by Yang Yong'an.
A few days ago, Yang Yong'an learned that she was going on a trip and called to tell her that she must contact him when she came to Changsha. He invited her to participate in their hit show "Happy 5+1" on Hunan TV.
It just so happens that today we have Zhou Moulun, whom Jiang Yifeng likes, and He Jiong, whom Yufei has always liked. Teacher He...
A few days ago, Jiang Yifeng heard that his favorite singer was coming to Xiangcheng, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days. He begged Yufei to definitely participate in this episode of Happy Camp.
Although Yufei's impression of Zhou Moulun from her past life was limited to that of a very talented singer, this did not prevent her from fulfilling Jiang Yifeng's wish.
However, there's still some time before recording starts; this recording will likely take place after 10 PM.
Uncle Yang had already booked a hotel for them and was waiting for them. After Yufei and the others put their luggage in the hotel that Yang Yong'an had booked,
We went straight to the pedestrian street. Hongxing Pedestrian Street was completed in 2002, so it's been 5 years since then. Because of the rise of Hunan TV, many celebrities want to come to Hunan TV to seek opportunities to reach new heights.
Or some were invited by Hunan TV to record programs. With the arrival of these celebrities, fans who wanted to see them also came, indirectly boosting the economy of Xiangcheng.
The pedestrian street, only 5 years old, was packed with people.
"Wow, it's so lively!" Zhao Jing exclaimed.
"Can this liveliness compare to the liveliness of our Longyuan Town? I'm not used to it yet," Lin Tiantian teased Zhao Jing.
"That's different~ It's normal for Longyuan Town to be lively, I'm actually surprised there are so many people here too," Zhao Jing said matter-of-factly.
Lin Tiantian nodded. Okay! She should find someone who's used to her quirky ideas; that's not wrong.
Shopping is a girl's nature; few girls can resist the joy of shopping, unless they're broke or their figures don't support it ╭(╯e╰)╮
The three of them were certainly not short of money; they had saved up a considerable amount before embarking on this trip.
They searched for the most beautiful and suitable clothes in the clothing stores, and also bought some pretty accessories.
She felt extremely satisfied, but poor Jiang Yifeng and Cui Yu'an, the two old men, were left lamenting behind, carrying huge bags and looking utterly miserable. What could they do but pamper the girl they liked?
They were carrying large bags and small packages, but it didn't affect their appearance at all. A group of young girls followed them not far away, whispering "So handsome!" to the girls next to them who were also attracted by their good looks.
Some of the bolder ones even went up to them and asked for their phone numbers, making Yufei want to give them each a face mask.
They strolled around for two or three hours, and it was almost dinnertime. They went to Pozi Street to try some local snacks, and unexpectedly, they even found a Longyuan crayfish franchise store there.
A long queue had already formed, with some people even sitting on their own stools while waiting in line.
They're already tired of spicy crayfish, so they definitely won't fight with that group for seats.
"Is it really that amazing? Are the crayfish from Longyuan really that delicious?" Zhao Jing asked in surprise, looking at the huge crowd in front of her.
"How could it not taste good? I remember when Yufei first made this crayfish, someone ate 5 jin (2.5 catties) of it all by himself, and his eyes were practically glowing as he stared at the unfinished lobster. He even pulled the school nurse next to him and asked if she could open a shop for him some digestive aids, because he felt his stomach was still too small."
Hearing Zhao Jing's teasing remark, Zhao Jing blushed, remembering her own past actions, and quickly covered Lin Tiantian's mouth to stop her.
After discussing it, they decided to go out for barbecue. There's still no ban on "Big Stick" (a type of barbecue), and "Big Stick Style" (a popular barbecue trend in China) is all the rage in Daxia. As a result, "Big Stick Barbecue" is highly sought after by young people in Da Bang Kingdom.
Many large-stick-style barbecue restaurants have sprung up in Xiangcheng, and that's what Yufei and her friends ate today. It wasn't particularly delicious, just something to fill their stomachs and try something new.
Next up was the long-awaited "Happy 5+1," which Yang Yong'an had arranged for them to watch from the best seats. "Happy 5+1" was being broadcast pre-recorded.
To ensure the broadcast quality of the program, they arrived at the perfect time – neither too early nor too late. When they arrived, the audience seats were not yet full, but some people had already begun to take their seats.
Most of them were Zhou Moulun's fans, excitedly discussing their idol and holding his support signs and merchandise.
Yufei witnessed firsthand the enthusiasm of these fans. When He Jiong, Wei Jia, and Xie La's performances all began, the moment Mou Lun stepped onto the stage, the fans' screams were deafening.
He greeted his fans politely and then quietly stayed to the side, only showing himself when He Jiong and the others called on him.
Then, he used his wit and humor to make his fans laugh out loud. After watching them record the show today, Yufei has also become a little bit of a fan of Zhou Moulun.
He's a low-key yet talented idol. Someone like Yufei, who's witnessed countless idol scandals and their bizarre downfalls, finds Zhou Moulun's qualities quite rare.
Even her usually calm and collected older cousin was crazy about him; Yufei had certainly witnessed his charm firsthand.
"Attracted by looks, captivated by talent, loyal to character." Aside from the "looks" part... Yufei thinks it doesn't quite begin with "attracted by talent," but the other two phrases, Yufei feels, can still describe Zhou Moulun.
They had a great time on stage, and the audience below also enjoyed watching. The recording of the show ended in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
However, Yufei and her friends' nighttime activities weren't over yet. They had originally planned to go back to the hotel to play some games and then go to sleep after recording the show.
As a result, Director Yang's assistant stopped them, saying that Director Yang wanted to see them about something.
They followed Director Yang's assistant backstage, where people were frantically busy. Some were running to a recording studio, some were carrying clothes for people who had just finished a show and were changing, and others were searching for people.
No one noticed their arrival; they seemed like outsiders from another world, completely out of place.
