TISHW 36




Chapter 36 Very interesting

At first, they didn't know that Qin Shiyu had been photographed. After arriving home, Jiang Yu put away her things and ran back to the room to laugh hard. She didn't come out until she had laughed enough. Qin Shiyu went back to the main bedroom to rest. After coming out, she went to the kitchen to sort out the things she bought.

Qin Shiyu basically never came to live in this house and the original owner doesn't cook. So there was nothing in the kitchen except basic pots and pans.

Jiang Yu sorted out all the seasonings first before taking out a large piece of pork belly and made preparations to cook braised pork first.

In her previous life, old Jiang's family had a strong patriarchal mentality and always prioritized good things to her younger brother. Especially when the conditions were not so good when she was a child. Jiang Yu very clearly remembered that her parents stewed a bowl of braised pork. Half of it was given to her younger brother, and the other half went to her father. Her mother only gave her a small piece. Even like this, her grandmother scolded and berated her for a long time.

The obsession probably sprouted out from that time. Even after she left that family and her life became better and better, Jiang Yu would always stew a bowl of braised pork and cook it all by herself whenever there was something to celebrate. After eating it, she felt bliss.

The pork belly was diced into cubes, boiled in water, and stir-fried until caramelized. Seasonings such as onion, ginger and star anise were added. Two bowls of water were poured in and it simmered slowly.

Many people assumed that braised pork was very greasy, but in fact it was not. As long as the heat was sufficient to the end, the braised pork can be fatty but not greasy and melt in one’s mouth. When paired with rice or steamed buns, it was full of salty flavor and especially delicious.

While she was stewing the meat, she sorted out the other things she had bought because she didn’t plan to stay there for a long time. The things looked like a big package, but in fact there were many kinds and they were divided among each corner. In fact, there wasn’t much. The rice and flour were three to four kilograms, which was enough for her to eat for about a month.

It took her more than ten minutes to tidy up, prepare the rice and some braised pork side dishes. Then she sat on the sofa in the living room, keeping an eye on the fire and scrolling through her phone.

She originally planned to find a job. After quitting "All Rounder 3", she needed a new source of income. After all, she had to pay off her credit card, live, and save for postgraduate entrance exams. But she just opened the webpage of the college recruitment forum,  the mini program on her phone suddenly notified that Qin Shiyu got a new topic that was hot search.

Jiang Yu casually opened it and saw the hot search topic #Qinshiyu was cried by a big goose.

Jiang Yu was startled when she first saw the topic. Qin Shiyu went out with her today. Didn't a picture of Qin Shiyu mean that she was also photographed?

Oh Heaven, please don’t! Although she always says that she wasn't unlucky, she wasn't unlucky to this extent.

After opening it, she realized it was a false alarm. It seemed that Qin Shiyu was really the only one who was unlucky this time? Awesome.

This topic started from a video. It wasn’t taken by a fan, but by a young dry goods store owner across the street. He probably thought the scene of the goose running out to chase people in the farmer market was funny, filmed it and posted it as a slice of life joke.

The video wasn't long, only about ten seconds. The big goose that broke free was fiercely pecking around in the middle aisle of the farmer market. Pedestrians were frightened and ran away. Then the big goose suddenly paused and headed toward someone menacingly like a cannonball. As it rushed over in one direction, a tall and handsome young man calmly took a step forward to block the goose's way. Then... he was pecked on his thigh by the goose. The young man lowered his head in shock. Finally the goose was grabbed by its neck by the stall owner and the video ended.

The chaos at the beginning of this video was certainly funny. However, the handsome appearance of the young man at the end, as well as her calm attitude at the beginning and the contrasting reaction after being pecked were the finishing touches. It made this video even more popular.

Jiang Yu remembered that Qin Shiyu had just finished drinking water and he expressed to her that he could lift those things under her provocation. The mask was on the chin, so most of his face was exposed.

And it just so happened that the controversy over him being framed today was reaching a fever pitch and had already reached the point of spreading out of the circle. Everyone was learning about this idol whose opponents spent a lot of money to frame him but could not find any decent black spots. Popular known information about him was everywhere on the Internet. Soon some people say that the person in the video looked like him. After all, handsome guys of this level were rare.

It went without saying fans discovered him.

After figuring out the whole story, Jiang Yu quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was vigilant and ran out in advance. Because she and Qin Shiyu were at a distance, only one arm was photographed. If not, the hot search would be #Qin Shiyu and Jiang Yu intimately went to the market# or #Qin Shiyu as a backup is settled#.

Knowing that there was no danger, Jiang Yu had time to admire Qin Shiyu's new photos. Then the more she looked at them, the more she couldn't bear it. She fell on the sofa holding her stomach.

Yes, the main picture of the topic was two photos.

After all, the video sent by the shop owner wasn't high-definition and Qin Shiyu only appeared for less than two seconds. Netizens with great skills cut out two pictures from it and processed them in high-definition. One picture showed him appearing calm as he  looked at the big goose. One was him looking down at the big goose in shock...

Of course, Qin Shiyu's emotion wasn’t as apparent as ordinary people. On top of that, he was good-looking. So even when he was in pain and stunned, he looked handsome. It was even more vivid than the expression that always had no care for anything. This was why Jiang Yu found it so funny at the time. The amusement effect from an ordinary person was doubled when it happened to him.

Netizens and fans probably felt the same way. Among a bunch of handsome photos and stills, these two down-to-earth photos were more talked about.

The fan who processed the photo even enhanced the light in the corner of his eye. That's right. Because of the light, the second picture where he lowered his head slightly, the light that was falling on the corner of his eye looked like waterfall tears in the comics. The naughty fans simply helped him photoshopped it more realistic. The comments below were all kinds of ridicule.

【Wow, the male god shed tears as wide as the sea. 】

【Hahaha, was my God Y brought down to earth by a big goose? 】

【Really! Only half of the face can be seen in the original video, but that drawling look! Beside my God Yu, there’s no one else. Truly hilarious. 】

【ROFL, a second ago, God Yu: How scary can a mere goose be? The next second, God Yu: Ah, it hurts! 】

【Hahaha, why can you post a video? 】

……

"Pfft..." Jiang Yu quickly covered her mouth, glanced at the door of the main bedroom, picked up her phone, and went back to her room. It was too easy to be discovered here.

On the big bed in the main bedroom, closed-eyed Qin Shiyu's brows suddenly furrowed...

"Don't touch me! Stay away from me. Stay away from my family!!!"

"You calamity star, those who are good to you will not have a good end! But that beast Qin Xingde rose to prominence because of you. Hahahaha, you are indeed the son of that beast."

"I shouldn't have given birth to you! It's all because of you! All this was because of you! If it weren't for you..."

"I curse that everything you get will be fleeting, that you will never receive care and love from anyone, and that you will finally go to hell in loneliness!"

Qin Shiyu suddenly opened his eyes. The hoarse roar was in his ears. He was a little stunned. He hadn't dreamed about his mother for a long, long time. It had been so long that he almost forgot that he had a mother.

He picked up the phone and opened Weibo. It was very easy to find the article that everyone thought was ridiculous. Although Gentleman Speak’s original Weibo was deleted at that time, many people saved it. Qin Shiyu could see it at any time.

He stared at the mentioned people he "killed" and couldn't help but laugh at himself. Although Chen Yalian was stupid, she really knew him best and knew how to hurt him...

A caller ID popped up on the phone. Qin Shiyu lazily swiped the answer button. Xu Lehua's voice came out with mirth, "You were pecked by a goose? Are you injured?"

Qin Shiyu paused, "What?"

Xu Lehua laughed loudly, "Why are you pretending? Everyone says you have been bitten by a goose! Didn't you see the hot search?"

Qin Shiyu thought of something, immediately sat up, and opened Weibo. It couldn’t be that he really did bring bad luck to people? Jiang Yu couldn't avoid it?

After skimming through it for a long time, he found that it was only his topic. Qin Shiyu relaxed his brows and fell back on the bed.

Xu Lehua made fun of him, "Didn't you say you wanted to go home and rest? Why did you run to the farmer market out of the blue?" 

It seemed that he remembered Qin Shiyu's rare embarrassment in the video and kept laughing.

It sounded like a flat tire... Qin Shiyu couldn't help but smile as he thought about it. Just like Zhao Shunong said, Jiang Yu seemed to be really poisonous.

Probably because he became immune due to Jiang Yu’s laughter, Qin Shiyu felt calm at the moment, "What can be done at the farmer market?"

"That's right. I saw your hands full of things." Xu Lehua amusedly replied, "How come you suddenly want to buy groceries? Did you hear that "All Rounder" is going to stay together and practice in advance? Idol baggage is indeed heavy. "

Qin Shiyu was noncommittal. Xu Lehua continued, "But you have to be more careful in the future. You are really famous this time. Don't be so carefree when shopping."

At this point, he thought of something and gloated, "I really want to thank Chen Yalian. Without her stir, your traffic wouldn’t have suddenly exploded. But you should be more grateful to yourself. Anyway, your move has wiped out the firepower, Chen Yalian can’t blacken you even if she wants to in the future. It’s heard that she fell ill from anger.”

"So what if she has money? So what if she is lucky enough to marry into a rich family? It's all useless if she doesn't have the strength! Hahaha."

Qin Shiyu somehow remembered Jiang Yu. She seemed to believe in using strength to defeat luck. So far, she seemed to have done it.

Xu Lehua mentioned her too, "Speaking of this, who was helping you this time? Some people specially came to me to inquire, saying that this operation looks simple, but it isn't. If one fails, it can easily lead to illegal crimes. Not something ordinary people can do.”

"They want to ask that person for help and imitate your tactics to deal with those anti-fans. Also said that the money matter is easy to discuss."

Qin Shiyu refused without hesitation, "Forget it."

Xu Lehua said, "Of course I understand. There is a lot of chaos in the entertainment industry. Who knows whether what they say is true or false? Maybe it turns into an invasion of privacy for profit. Isn't this trapping people in injustice? I'm afraid it will either be exploited by capital or just get targeted. The other party has this ability, can’t he do something else better?”

"So I said that it’s a friend in your circle of top students. He only focuses on research and just spared a little time to help you. Can't help at all. They will probably find you too. Remember to match my statement. ”

Qin Shiyu expressed that he understood.

"Oh, by the way," Xu Lehua said, "I mainly want to tell you about another thing. Zhou Feifei is going to appear in the third episode of "All Rounder 3"."

Qin Shiyu turned on the phone speaker and threw it aside.

Xu Lehua knew that he didn't care who the other party was at all. "She got an orphan background and was a top student when I was studying. Later, she participated in a brain competition show to win prize money and became known to everyone. Because of her good looks, she directly switched to entertainment. She is famous for being strong and inspirational. Now she can barely consider the third tier level."

"All Rounder" was an idol variety show in its earliest days. Even though the nature of the guests was now different from before, some idol stars were occasionally invited to promote themselves and the program team absorbed new traffic. It was a win-win situation.

Qin Shiyu wasn't interested in this information at all. He just asked, "How many people will be in the next episode?"

"Six? What's wrong?" Xu Lehua said, "Oh, yes, Jiang Yu withdrew, saying she won’t participate."

"Speaking of which, she was taken advantage of by Chen Yalian this time. Simply an unforeseen disaster. You had already made arrangements and nothing happened, while she was tragically scolded. She is a young girl after all. She probably can't bear it and said she won't record it."

Qin Shiyu frowned, "The contract has been signed? Didn't Zhao Shunong say it's not confirmed yet?"

"Just signed it. I heard that the program team wanted to wait for Jiang Yu. After all, the effect of recording you two is very good together. But Zhou Feifei probably really wants to be on this show and keeps a tight eye on it. She stepped in as soon as she heard the news. She has a good reputation in the entertainment industry and has a lot of fans. I guess the program team thought it’s a good fit and signed the contract?"

Speaking of this, Xu Lehua caught on and exclaimed in surprise, "It's so rare that you actually care about who you record a show with?!"

Qin Shiyu was stunned for a moment. Xu Lehua pondered, "If you don't care about Zhou Feifei, then you care about Jiang Yu?" 

He asked, "Are you feeling guilty about Jiang Yu because of the rumors?"

Qin Shiyu didn't say anything. It wasn't because he felt guilty...

Xu Lehua was very delighted, "It's rare that you feel guilty. Doesn't she live in that house near your school? Why don't you go over and see her?" 

After saying that, he immediately said, "Forget it, what if she misunderstands and pester in the future..."

Qin Shiyu recalled her rejection toward him, "Have you seen her pestering me?"

"I've seen it before," Xu Lehua said, "Pestered so tightly in the past. How else could she live in your house? If she wasn't in school anymore, I completely believe that she would lie in wait for you every day in school until becoming a well-known figure."

"However, her strategy has indeed changed recently. I think the hard-to-get method works quite well. Anyway, I'm quite curious." After saying that, he actually inquired and asked, "How is she now? Did she look for you for what happened in the hot search this time? Did she go back to her old ways?"

Not at all. From that completely indifferent look, one couldn’t tell she was experiencing cyber bullying.

Xu Lehua said positively, "How about I help you ask? If she needs help, I can help her. It's the best of both worlds."

Qin Shiyu suddenly felt a little displeased, "What's best of both worlds?"

"I'll help her for you, so you don't have to feel guilty and she can't pester you. It's the best of both worlds." Xu Lehua was confused, "Why do you sound unhappy?"

He suddenly thought of something and said suddenly, "Are you worried that I will use the strategy of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao? Would I actually aggrieve myself in order to prevent her from pestering you and let her pester me?"

Xu Lehua happily chattered, "Have you gone to see Dr. Lu recently? I think your condition is much better. You’re actually being considerate. I'm so touched."

Qin Shiyu expressionlessly stated, "You'd better not act rashly. Hanging up."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Shiyu returned to the Weibo interface and searched for Jiang Yu's topics. He felt that if the content about him wasn't so exciting, she would have been on the hot search. The comments under the topic were simply the difference between hell and heaven when comparing with his ...

Did she truly not care?

Qin Shiyu lowered his eyes and contemplated.
