Chapter 14: Words and Actions
When Xiao Yu left Changcheng and arrived at Xiangni by green train, it was already late at night.

After three days and two nights of running around, he was naturally fine given his current physical condition.

But mental fatigue is inevitable.

"Xiangni-East Station-We're here."

"Passengers who have arrived at their destination, please get off the train in an orderly manner."

"Fake Ladies and gentlemen: The next station is xiang′cheng ma de West..."

Take a step and step out of the train.

Xiao Yu took a deep breath of the slightly humid air to suppress his sleepiness. Then he brushed off his ancient white robe and followed the crowd of people getting off the train to leave the exit.

When I was near the taxi area, before I could even flag down a taxi and get in, someone stopped me from behind.

"Are you Xiao Yu?"

Xiao Yu turned around and found that the person who came was a young man with short hair: "Who are you?"

"Oh my god! It's really Xiao Yu!" The young man was instantly excited! He jumped up and down: "I'm your fan! I knew it was you when I saw the clothes from a distance."

"Fans?" Xiao Yu was shocked: "Mine?"

With everyone calling for his death, how come there are still fans of him?!
"Yes, yes! Look, I follow you." The young man quickly took out his phone and opened the Douyin app. The list of followers on the screen showed the name "Wendaomen·Xiao Yu".

"Oh." Xiao Yu felt flattered: "Hello, hello."

"I saw the real person! That's awesome! This is the first time I've seen an internet celebrity in person! You're really popular recently!"

"Yeah……"

"Well, Mr. Xiao, can we take a photo together?"

"No... no problem."

"Three Q!" The young man immediately raised his mobile phone, hugged Xiao Yu who was still a little confused, and gave him a thumbs up.

"Crack!"

"Crack! Click!"

Take several photos in a row.

"Xiao Shen, aren't you in Changcheng? Why are you here in Xiangni?" The young man put away his phone with satisfaction: "Is there a performance here?"

"Performance... um... yes, there is a performance." Xiao Yu scratched his ears uncomfortably: "In the Music Square."

"It's awesome!"

"What's your online name? I'll follow you back." Xiao Yu took out his phone and clicked on the music video: "Let's follow each other."

This was the first fan he had ever met offline. He had to show his appreciation.

"Follow each other! Really?!" The young man became even more excited and quickly took out his phone again: "Xiao Shen, I'll send you a private message and you'll be able to find me."

"...I see. It's called 'Words and Actions Are One', right?"

"Yeah!"

"I paid attention." After shaking hands with the other party, Xiao Yu said, "Okay. That's it. It's too late. I'm going back to the hotel to sleep first."

"Okay, okay, okay. Goodbye, Xiao Shen!"

"We'll meet again."

Showing a smile that a public figure should have, Xiao Yu turned around and got into the taxi that had been waiting for a long time.

"Master." Xiao Yu nodded to the young man who was "reluctant to leave" outside the car window and said, "Let's go to the Music Square. Find a hotel nearby and stop."

"Okay." The driver shifted gears and stepped on the accelerator, steering the car away: "Handsome guy, are you a star?"

"Oh. Not really a star." Xiao Yu waved his hand modestly: "I'm just a little famous."

"Is that so?" The driver observed Xiao Yu through the rearview mirror: "Young and promising. Can we take a photo together later?"

"Haha." Xiao Yu said in a friendly manner: "No problem."

Lean back on the seat.

I watched the night view outside the car window for a while.

Xiao Yu smacked his lips and yawned. Then he took out his phone and clicked on the fan's profile picture of "Words and Actions Are One".

Enjoy browsing each other's updates.

Soon, he discovered the message this fan left under his video yesterday.

【Stupid liar! 】

Xiao Yu: “…”

The smile gradually faded away.

He put down his phone and looked straight ahead.

"..."

"master."

"what happened?"

"Drive faster. I'm sleepy."

"Okay!"

……

Seventeen minutes later.

Arrive at the hotel street near the Music Square.

After paying the bill, Xiao Yu took a photo with the driver with a forced smile.

"Big star, let's go." The driver waved.

"Yeah. Bye."

Watching the taxi leave with a blank expression, Xiao Yu found a nearby hotel and checked in.

"Squeak-"

Take the elevator to the sixth floor and open the door of the standard room.

He threw the backpack containing the banner and the speaker on the floor. He didn't even take a shower or wash his face.

The lights are not turned off.

With a plop, he fell directly onto the bed.

He was indeed tired.

Go to bed early...

“…” “…Squeak.”

Go to sleep.

"what……"

"Creak, creak, creak..."

"..."

“Ah… squeak… ah~”

“Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch…”

Xiao Yu suddenly turned over, opened his slightly bloodshot eyes, and knocked hard on the wall next door.

"Boom boom boom!"

The vibration was so great that dust fell from the ceiling.

"..."

The noise next door also came to an abrupt halt.

"Clap."

After waiting for a while and making sure it was quiet, Xiao Yu turned off the lights in the house, changed his posture impatiently, and lay down again.

"..."

Go to sleep.

“…Buzz.”

"Buzz."

Almost asleep.

"Buzz buzz-"

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz!"

“Buzz buzz buzz!!!”

Xiao Yu was in agony. He took out his vibrating cell phone and put it to his ear to answer the call: "Hello? Who is this in the middle of the night?"

"Your grandpa."

"...Ah." Xiao Yu opened his eyes and looked at the phone screen: "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Where the hell have you been?"

"You finally realized I'm not home, right?" Xiao Yu was drowsy. He vaguely heard some activity next door.

"Bullshit!" Chen Banxian's voice sounded quite angry from the other end of the receiver: "If I hadn't gotten up just now and there was no toilet paper, and I hadn't gone to the living room to find paper, I wouldn't have seen your letter!"

Xiao Yu: “…”

"Where have you been?!"

"Squeak... squeak, squeak..." The noise next door was getting louder and louder.

"Don't worry about it, I'm just going out to do something." Xiao Yu forced himself to be energetic and said impatiently: "If you look for paper a few more days later, I will go back."

“Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch—”

"...Xiao Yu, what are you doing?"

"sleep."

“Crunch, crunch, crunch!!”

"Who is he sleeping with?!" Chen Banxian was shocked.

Covering the phone, Xiao Yu glared at the people next to him: "Keep your voice down!"

"..."

It was quiet again on the other side of the wall.

Xiao Yu continued on the phone: "I'm sleeping alone. Okay, I'll hang up first. I'll be back in a few days."

"Xiao Yu! You can't just go out and find Xiao...Du!"

Before he could finish his words, Xiao Yu hung up.

"Boom!"
