I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Chapter 141 The toy fell out, Zhu Yu was socially dead
A week has passed since the filming of The Legend of Sword and Fairy was officially completed.

In addition, as the Spring Festival gets closer, the festive atmosphere in Beijing has become a little stronger.

Of course, this aspect is still not as good as before.

The operation of Xu Kong Studio has also caused local Beijingers to sigh from time to time recently, thinking that the Chinese New Year is becoming less and less festive.

Apart from these, there are far fewer people visible to the naked eye in the capital.

Although the New Year holiday has not yet arrived, the number of people leaving Beijing to return home for the New Year has gradually increased.

"Rat!"

"Why are you killing my potted plants?"

“Is it reliable or not?”

Feng Ge, in Xu Kong’s personal studio.

Looking at the Clivia that was already half withered, Xu Kong couldn't help but curse loudly.

Perhaps influenced by Zhu Yu, Xu Kong also grew a few pots of green plants in his office.

However, because I am quite busy, I usually ask Guo Zihao to help take care of the children.

"I don't know. I water the plants on time every day."

Guo Zihao looked innocent.

At the same time, there are some small grievances.

"When I was your agent, you should at least call me Brother Hao."

“Now they just call me a rat.”

Xu Kong rolled his eyes, but in the end he was too lazy to argue with the other party.

"Go tell everyone else later that we can take our annual leave early."

Apart from overseeing the post-production of The Legend of Sword and Fairy, Xu Kong had no other announcements or schedules, so he simply let the people in the studio take a holiday early.

"I watered too frequently, and the roots seem to be rotten."

In Zhu Yu's office, she was loosening the soil of the Clivia that Xu Kong brought with a small shovel while giving a reminder.

"Why don't you just let Sister Yu take care of it?"

Xu Kong felt that he was simply thinking too much. In his current state, he did not have as much time and energy as Zhu Yu.

And most of the time I don’t even go to the studio.

Why do you want to grow potted plants?
"Let me keep it here for now. If you take it back, it will probably die."

Zhu Yu also spoke.

"By the way, is the cooperation with Shui Mu going smoothly?"

Zhu Yu took the flowerpot with loosened soil to the top shelf of her office flower rack and placed it there.

Xu Kong nodded: "The results of the first two episodes are pretty good."

"However, at this rate, it will take until March or April to be fully completed."

He also knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed, and that slow and careful work was the key.

I will probably have to stay at Fengge headquarters for a long time to come.

"By the way, who are the people in Sister Yu's family?"

"Do I need to bring some New Year's goods with me?"

Xu Kong asked.

After two days of consideration, he still hasn't decided with whom he will spend the Spring Festival.

Fortunately, no one else agreed.

Then we can only go to Zhu Yu’s house as agreed before.

"It's just Minmin and I at home, and we don't lack anything, so you don't have to spend any money."

Zhu Yu had already accepted Xu Kong's plan to celebrate the New Year at her home, so she answered.

"Just you and Minmin?"

Xu Kong was stunned for a moment.

He originally thought that Zhu Yu's parents should be there too.

"My parents are in my hometown, and..."

Zhu Yu stopped talking halfway.

But after hesitating for a moment, he answered truthfully:

"And we've been doing this for years, so we're used to it."

“I guess I won’t go back to my hometown anymore.”

Xu Kong didn't know much about Zhu Yu's affairs.

But judging from the situation, I guess his relationship with his family isn't that harmonious.

With less than ten days left until the Lunar New Year, Xu Kong received an unexpected notice.

He couldn't refuse this time.

Because it was a job arranged by Feng Ge.

Let the first- and second-tier artists under Fengge collectively record a New Year's blessing video.

In fact, it probably won’t take too much time in total.

Even the shots of Xu Kong himself only last about ten to twenty seconds.

But because there were so many people participating, and they were all recorded in the same recording studio.

In the end, it still takes a lot of time to waste.

Xu Kong could name many of the artists under Fengge, but he probably only knew a few of them.

However, when the official recording started, Xu Kong actually met an acquaintance.

"Director Xu, this way!"

When Yan Jiaheng saw Xu Kong, he waved to him happily.

He just finished filming his role in "Night Without Promise" some time ago, and he just returned to Beijing these two days.

Xu Kong took a quick look and finally walked over to sit next to Yan Jiaheng.

The main reason was that he didn’t know any of the other people in the studio at that time.

"Director Xu, you must help me!"

As soon as Xu Kong sat down, Yan Jiaheng couldn't wait to speak in a low voice.

Looking at the other person's somewhat depressed expression, Xu Kong could guess with a high probability that it was most likely related to Shang Yuxin.

"I don't know why Xinxin has become cold towards me since she finished filming and returned to the capital."

It seemed that he had finally found someone to complain to, and Yan Jiaheng began to talk incessantly.

Of course, in reality, most of the words that are said back and forth are just those.

Something about how good he was to Xinxin and how much he liked her.

"Director Xu, what do you think I should do now?"

After finally finishing what he said, Yan Jiaheng looked at Xu Kong.

Xu Kong couldn't help but complain in his heart: "How the hell should I know!"

But I still said a word of comfort:
"Is it possible that she has been a little busy lately?"

"I'm not ignoring you on purpose, it's just that I have a lot of things to do."

Xu Kong himself didn't even believe the excuse he made.

But it gave Yan Jiaheng a reason to convince himself.
"That must be the case. I was right that Xinxin wouldn't suddenly ignore me."

Others might not be sure, but Xu Kong knew Shang Yuxin's recent itinerary very clearly.

The main thing is that the other party has been sending him messages almost every day in the past two days.

Even though Xu Kong was too lazy to reply, Shang Yuxin still insisted on sending messages.

But unlike before, Shang Yuxin did not deliberately say anything to hint at him this time.

Instead, they are all daily things, including what I did today, who I met and so on.

This made Xu Kong unable to help but wonder, could it be that Shang Lucha really fell in love with him?
But he came to his senses immediately. It was obvious that the other party had changed his tactics again and was waiting for him to fall into the trap.

"Director Xu, Director Xu?"

"what happened to you?"

Yan Jiaheng noticed that Xu Kong suddenly became dazed and couldn't help but shout a few more times.

Xu Kong came back to his senses.

Then he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I guess I'm just in a bad mood recently."

"Once she's in a better mood, she'll probably be willing to see you."

Although Xu Kong's words made Yan Jiaheng feel a little relieved, he was still a little worried.

"I hope so"

"Director Xu!"

Xu Kong had just finished filming Feng Ge’s New Year’s greetings video in the morning and had listened to Yan Jiaheng’s complaints.

Not long after I arrived at my studio in the afternoon, Shang Yuxin came to me unexpectedly.

Everyone else in the studio was on holiday, but Guo Zihao was downstairs in the artist department, ostensibly to check his schedule with Zhu Yu.

But Xu Kong himself knew that he had no announcements recently.

It is highly likely that the other party went to find Zhu Yu's assistant.

"Who are these flowers for? They are so pretty."

As soon as Shang Yuxin entered Xu Kong's office, her attention was attracted by a large bouquet of flowers on Xu Kong's desk.

He said it with a somewhat sour tone.

Xu Kong glanced at it casually, but replied without changing his expression:
"It's for you."

Xu Kong's answer surprised her a little.

"real or fake?"

Xu Kong nodded.

"Just in time for you to come over, take it back."

Although Xu Kong had already said this, Shang Yuxin still found it a little unconvincing.

The main reason is that since returning to Fengge, Xu Kong still deliberately distances himself from her.

Although she felt that she was enthusiastic and sincere enough, it had no effect at all.

Shang Yuxin picked up the card in the flowers and took a look at it.

"To: Dear Xinxin"

Is it really for yourself?
Shang Yuxin was obviously stunned for a moment.

She had never thought of this possibility and subconsciously thought that this was a gift from Xu Kong to Song Youyou.

But Shang Yuxin reacted quickly.

When did Xu Kong ever call me "Xinxin"?

So she skipped the cheesy words on the card and glanced at the name at the end. When she saw Yan Jiaheng, she was suddenly filled with disappointment.

"It's really for you."

"Yan Jiaheng asked me to help"

Xu Kong started to explain. After meeting with Yan Jiaheng in the morning, the other party said that Shang Yuxin had not seen him, so she begged Xu Kong for help to send flowers.

He was also asked to pay attention to Shang Yuxin's reaction when she received the flowers.

But it was obvious that he didn't have time to observe Shang Yuxin's expression. Even before he had said half of his words, Shang Yuxin turned around and walked out the door.

"Hey, why are you leaving?"

Xu Kong was a little slow to react.

"I want you to take care of it!"

Shang Yuxin said without turning her head.

Xu Kong was completely confused. Wasn't this a quick change of attitude?
He didn't even know why Shang Yuxin came to see him this time.

In the following period of time, except for taking a break in his studio from time to time, Xu Kong spent most of his time focusing on the post-production of The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

The Spring Festival is getting closer and closer.

"Are you sure you won't be discovered?"

"Why don't you wait for me in the car?"

On New Year's Eve, Shuimu Studio and the employees in charge of post-production editing of The Legend of Sword and Fairy all had a day off.

Xu Kong followed Zhu Yu to the mall to buy New Year's goods.

"Don't worry, I have experience in this kind of thing."

Xu Kong replied without any concern.

In addition to his disguise, he also had a beard on his face. When it came to preventing himself from being recognized, Xu Kong had accumulated a lot of experience over the years.

However, Zhu Yu still seemed a little uneasy.

Because she knew very well that if she and Xu Kong were photographed at this moment, it would be a big trouble.

“Don’t buy so much”

"Minmin can't finish it."

Seeing Xu Kong buying several large bags of various candies in a row, Zhu Yu couldn't help but remind him.

"I bought it mainly for you."

Xu Kong did not stop what he was doing, but just replied lightly.

Although Zhu Yu hid it very well, Xu Kong still discovered that Zhu Yu seemed to like eating sweet things, especially sugar.

In the drawer of the other person's office, there was a large jar of various candies.

Zhu Yu was obviously stunned when she heard Xu Kong's words. She didn't expect Xu Kong to notice these.

At this moment, the two of them were strolling in the supermarket, one after the other. Xu Kong was pushing the shopping cart in front, and she was following quietly behind.

If you don't tell them, outsiders might think they are a loving couple.
After a while, Zhu Yu suddenly reacted.

Stop these random thoughts immediately.

"Minmin should still be sleeping, keep your voice down."

It can be seen that as Fengge's manager, Zhu Yu's salary and benefits are still very good.

The mother and daughter live in a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment of about 100 square meters.

Just like her office, Zhu Yu's home is also kept very tidy.

On the TV cabinet are several award certificates that Zhu Min won in kindergarten, as well as photos of the two of them.

After helping to organize all the New Year's goods, Zhu Yu began to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

"Do you need help?"

Looking into the kitchen, Xu Kong took the initiative to ask.

"Forget it, don't make trouble for me."

Seeing that Zhu Yu didn't trust him very much, Xu Kong got angry.

He took the initiative to walk in and start helping out.

But not long after, he was kicked out.

“I haven’t cooked for a long time, I’m a little rusty”

Xu Kong tried to save face with a bit of embarrassment.

"Big brother?"

Not long after, Zhu Min came out wearing cartoon pajamas, rubbing his eyes sleepily.

After seeing Xu Kong, Zhu Min was obviously a little surprised, and then delighted.

Zhu Yu glanced at Xu Kong who was peeling candy for his daughter, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth inadvertently.

Although there was only one more person, I don’t know why, but the house felt much more lively than in previous New Year’s Eves.

"Don't give it to her. She's still teething."

Because she was alone, Zhu Yu worked from the afternoon until six in the evening before finally finishing the New Year's Eve dinner.

“It’s so rich!”

Zhu Min looked at the table full of dishes with shining eyes.

"This is called New Year's Eve dinner. Minmin, do you like the New Year?"

Xu Kong asked with a smile while helping to serve the dishes.

"like!"

Zhu Min's face was full of joy.

But he asked again with some confusion: "But there weren't so many delicious foods during the Chinese New Year last year."

"Mom said it would be a waste if we made too much and couldn't finish it."

"Is it because you, big brother, are here this year?"

When Zhu Yu heard this, she couldn't help but cough twice.

"Minmin, what do you want to do before dinner?"

When Zhu Min heard this, he answered honestly: "Wash your hands first~"

"Then why don't you come over quickly?"

Zhu Yu said this and took Zhu Min to wash his hands.

There was a large table of food, but in fact not much was eaten.

Zhu Yu and Zhu Min, mother and daughter, didn't eat much, but Xu Kong ate several bowls of rice by himself.

Then he kept praising Zhu Yu for her delicious cooking.

"You should also eat less, or you'll get fat when you go back to work after the New Year."

Zhu Yu still remembered her identity as Xu Kong's agent and gave him a few reminders.

Xu Kong complained: "Sister Yu, you really know how to ruin the atmosphere."

He praised her like that, but he didn't expect Zhu Yu to react like this.

“I love Chinese New Year!”

After dinner, while helping to clean up, Zhu Min suddenly spoke seriously.

“Is it because I can eat delicious food?”

Xu Kong asked with a smile.

"Uh-huh."

Zhu Min nodded, and then continued: "Also because big brother is here, my mother and I are very happy."

When Zhu Yu heard what her daughter said, she was visibly stunned.

He glared at Zhu Min, as if to say that he should include her in everything else.

After dinner, the three people who had nothing to do started watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Xu Kong seemed to have heard Su Zhi say before that she was invited to the official TV station's Spring Festival Gala this year.

But Su Zhi declined because she hadn't been home for the New Year for a long time.

This kind of thing is not uncommon for other people, but it is indeed rare for Su Zhi, a workaholic singing queen.

As time passed, Zhu Min fell asleep on the sofa.

After Zhu Yu found out, she quietly carried him into the bedroom.

"Then I'll leave first"

Xu Kong looked at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock, he stood up and spoke.

Zhu Yu was stunned for a moment, then spoke:
"Sleep here. It's so late, and it's New Year's Day."

When Xu Kong heard Zhu Yu take the initiative to keep him, he was stunned for a moment.

However, seeing Xu Kong's expression, Zhu Yu seemed to be worried that he might misunderstand her, so she quickly explained, "What I meant is that the side bed is empty."

Taking Xu Kong into the side bedroom, Zhu Yu just turned on the light and suddenly remembered something.

She said in a panic: "You go out first, I'll make the bed."

"It's okay, that's it, no more trouble."

Xu Kong answered casually.

As he said this, he was about to lie down.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yu didn't know where she got the strength from, but she just grabbed her.

"You'd better change the sheets and quilt!"

Xu Kong was stunned for a moment, then he said subconsciously: "Then I'll help you."

He grabbed the quilt casually.

"Need not!"

Seeing Xu Kong's actions, Zhu Yu became even more panicked.

Zhu Yu also pulled the other side of the quilt.

The two of them pulled each other like this for a while.

Suddenly, a "bang" sound was heard.

Something fell to the ground.

Xu Kong looked subconsciously and saw the familiar shape and the conspicuous purple color.

What else could it be other than the toy he gave to Zhu Yu before?
"buzzing"

As if a switch was touched, the toy suddenly began to vibrate rapidly on the wooden floor.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yu's expression was full of despair and she closed her eyes completely.

Well, this time I’m completely socially dead.

If possible, she really wished there was a hole she could crawl into at this moment.
