0713: You who shine in the parallel world

On the day of recording of the show "Happy Again", the brothers who had realized that they were becoming popular again started to manage their image and even knew to dress up before going out.

Those flashy looks formed a sharp contrast with the original image of the Mushroom House.

When recording Mushroom House, they actually cared about their image, but at most they just put on a foundation. Some people (such as a certain salted fish) even went without makeup and dressed quite casually. After all, they thought they were just going to eat and drink tea.

Su Xing, who arrived the latest last time, packed up quickly this time. As soon as he went downstairs, he saw Yu Yu sitting in the corner of the cafe in the lobby drinking coffee.

There were two guys around who were obviously fans, sitting at a table a few tables away from Yu Yu and recording videos with their cell phones.

Although there were only two people recording the video, ordinary people who are rarely exposed to various cameras would definitely not be used to being chased and photographed by fans with cameras.

Yu Yu, who seems to have not been exposed to the daily life of a celebrity for fifteen years, was pressed by the camera of fans, but he was still relaxed and contented. He was looking at his mobile phone and drinking coffee. He looked like a nobleman sitting in the square of a European town and enjoying life leisurely.

"Oh, I thought I was the first one to come down. Yu Shao is pretty fast. He's sipping coffee leisurely." Su Xing dragged his suitcase and backpack to Yu Yu's table, "Why don't you go out?"

"You know me. I'd rather be on time than be a minute early. It's not time for the production crew to gather yet. My outfit is simple. I don't have an assistant. I don't know how to put on makeup. It only takes less than ten minutes to do my hair. If you have nothing to do, come down and sit for a while."

Yu Yu put down his phone and looked at Su Xing. With his hair done and sunglasses on, he still looked bright and dazzling.

It’s not that Yu Yu doesn’t pay attention to image management, nor is it that he can’t accept makeup, but given his current status as “Yu Yu”, it’s reasonable that he doesn’t have a few assistants or a dedicated makeup artist, and he himself doesn’t know how to put on makeup, so he can only comb his hair and go out with a bare face.

Of course, he has a good foundation. His mixed-race face has three-dimensional facial features and superior bone structure. He can look good even without makeup. He has a natural advantage.

He stretched out his hand to signal the waiter and pointed to the table. The waiter immediately understood and brought a cup of coffee.

"Please help me. We need to stay alert since we start recording so early in the morning. Each of you has to be alert." Yu Yu explained.

Su Xing picked up the paper cup and took a look. Wow, it was the same flavor he usually drank. This youngest brother was still so thoughtful.

"Thank you for the reward, Mr. Yu. Let me toast you." Su Xing smiled and clinked glasses with Yu Yu.

The production crew who were waiting outside waited for a long time but no one came out. Zhao Hao looked at the time and felt a little puzzled.

He had clearly received the news that Yu Yu was coming downstairs twenty minutes ago, and Su Xing also came down shortly afterwards. How come he had been waiting at the hotel entrance with the camera for such a long time, but no one had come out yet?

He took out the intercom and asked the staff inside what happened. The staff replied somewhat helplessly that the two of them were in the cafe in the hotel lobby, leisurely drinking coffee and chatting.

Zhao Hao was speechless and told the staff to ask the two of them to leave first and start work and stop thinking about clocking in and out and slacking off.

After receiving instructions from the director, the staff immediately came to Yu Yu and Su Xing and asked them to push their suitcases out first and start recording the first shot of the group variety show.

"Please help deliver the coffee to other people later. I'll ask the waiter to write a name on the cup."

Su Xing patted Yu Yu's shoulder and said, "You don't have to be so meticulous. After all, those people are not picky people. Even if they take the wrong cup, they will pour it into their mouths."

"That's not necessarily true. Sheng likes pure black coffee. He wants the most original taste of coffee beans. Liang doesn't like coffee without milk, so he often drinks latte. Yuanyuan prefers hot coffee, while Yuexin prefers iced coffee. As for Huzi, he's easy to feed. Mocha and cappuccino are both fine."

While pushing the box out, Yu Yu explained some basic knowledge to Su Xing. Of course, these were just the conclusions he had drawn after observing for some time. In fact, neither Su Xing nor anyone else would be picky about the kindness given to them by others.

Thinking of the glass of flat white in his hand, Su Xing said nothing, but just patted Yu Yu on the back.

The two walked out of the hotel gate and looked at the empty square. Su Xing and Yu Yu stopped.

"Look at them, they started to get carried away after they became famous. Except for the two of us who were so punctual, none of them came down." Su Xing pointed at Yu Yu and himself with the hand holding the coffee cup.

"Will I be fined for being late? I know some companies will deduct a hundred dollars for being one minute late." Rubber Fish asked.

Producer Dalin and director Zhao Hao, who were standing behind the camera, looked at each other. Dalin gestured, and Zhao Hao smiled and said, "We hadn't thought of this before. Indeed, being late is not a good behavior."

"How about this, you are a team, and we are traveling on our own this time. Your team will bear the expenses for the next few days. Since Yu Yu asked to deduct money, then we will deduct it from your group fee."

"?" Su Xing's eyes widened when he heard it. He immediately pulled Yu Yu, who was "harming others and herself", behind him and said, "Don't. Yu Yu is young and ignorant. She has never been involved in worldly affairs. How could she know about being deducted money for being late? You must have read it in novels. It doesn't happen in real life."

"Our program has grown to this scale and we are a mature team. I hope the director team will not listen to some people's immature suggestions, okay?"

"Let's stop chatting and joking, and get down to business." Su Xing made a gesture of invitation, firmly refusing the director's suggestion to deduct the group fee.

Seeing Su Xing cheating, Zhao Hao handed him a car key with some speechlessness and amusement: "Okay, then I'll give you the car keys. You will have a means of transportation for this trip."

Su Xing looked at the old key in his hand and was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he had a bad premonition.

Yu Yu poked her head out from behind Su Xing, leaned against his shoulder and looked at the key: "You're wrong. This isn't a car key. This is a door key, right? Or the kind that's used for anti-theft rolling doors. You hid the car in a warehouse, and then asked us to find the car in the warehouse within a specified time? Oh, you guys are pretty good at designing game segments to surprise us, great."

It turned out that Yu Yu understood what was meant by sarcasm. He deliberately put on an expression of sudden enlightenment and deduced an answer that was very effective for the show. He then clapped his hands and praised Su Xing, who even laughed out loud at the bitter smile he heard.

"What you said makes sense, Yuyu. You are such a smart guy. Why didn't the production team invite you to design the program segments?"

"That's their loss." Yu Yu waved his hand.

"If I hadn't seen the van parked there, I would have believed it." Su Xing pointed to a seven-seater van parked nearby. "That van and this key are a perfect match. Look, there's even the brand of the car on the key. Hahahaha."

"This car is really luxurious and looks very high-end. Thank you director for the arrangement." Su Xing also said something in a veiled manner.

The two men walked up to the van. The entire exterior of the vehicle was very old-fashioned, and it would not have that feeling unless it had been driven for ten or twenty years. Seeing the patterns on the chairs inside the car through the window, they even suspected that this was the retro style that was only seen in the era when they were racing.

They were just commenting on the appearance of the van in a humorous way when other people got off. They were holding the coffee that Yu Yu had offered them and pushing suitcases. They were all dressed casually and fashionably and walked over slowly, as if they were going on vacation instead of recording a show.

But there's nothing wrong with going on vacation. This time it's a travel show, and traveling is just a vacation, right? We're all going camping at the beach!

You guys seem to have forgotten that the characteristic of the program crew is that they are extremely poor.

"Yu Yu, thank you for the coffee." Chen Xinsheng just went out and saw Yu Yu next to the parking space from a distance. He raised the coffee in his hand and shouted loudly. Obviously, he was very happy to have American coffee as soon as he went downstairs.

The others also echoed each other, and the drinks Yu Yu ordered for them were all the ones they often drank before.

"What Xiaoyu sent was not taro coffee, but taro," said Wang Zhengliang.

"Taro? Taro? Is this some kind of local specialty coffee? Can they also make coffee?" Zhang Yuan was a little confused.

Yu Yu didn't understand either: "Brother Liang, I ordered a latte for you, right?"

"Yes, but the texture of taro is relatively rough, while taro is delicate and melts in your mouth. The latte that Yuyu sent is really delicious, with the sweetness of milk and the mellowness of coffee, so it is taro (yu) nai (nai) coffee instead of taro coffee."

It can be seen that although Uncle Wang has not been on the show with his brothers for more than two months, his skills have not diminished and he still performs steadily.

“???” Zhang Yuan paused, and instantly stood still, petrified, with a look of despair on his face.

Su Xing took a deep breath and felt numb: "No, Brother Liang, is it necessary for you to do this so early in the morning?!"

Wang Zhengliang raised his glasses and smiled innocently.

Yu Yu kept smiling and used a gentle tone to change the subject: "Ha, ha, ha, everyone come and take a look. This is our luxury business car for the next few days."

The five people then noticed the antique van next to Yu Yu and Su Xing, and they couldn't help laughing.

"Isn't it?"

Wang Yuexin quickened her pace and walked around the car to make sure she was not seeing things. Not only was it shabby on the outside, but it was also very retro on the inside?

"Can we really get back alive if we take this?" Lu Hu looked at Zhao Hao and asked seriously.

Chen Kesheng couldn't believe it either: "You bought this car from a scrapyard, didn't you? Can it still be driven?"

"Sure, you guys try it. We have tried the safety test before," said Zhao Hao.

There was only one car, so they had to face reality. Su Xing opened the door of the cab with the key, and when he looked inside, he felt something was wrong.

"Brothers, let's not worry about whether this car will break down in the middle of driving. Even if we have all the equipment, it may not be useful. The only problem is whether we can drive it. This car is a manual transmission. Who can drive it?"

Since there are more and more automatic transmission cars, there are not many people who can drive manual transmission cars.

But among them, there happened to be someone who could open it.

"Me, I can drive." Wang Zhengliang raised his hand.

"I can do it, too." Yu Yu also stood up. The off-road vehicles he drove were all manual. In some special terrains and high-altitude areas, automatic transmission cars are not easy to drive at all.

"I can actually do it, but I haven't driven one for many years." Chen Qisheng said uncertainly.

"Forget about being afraid of life. It's OK with me and Xiaoyu. We can take turns." Wang Zhengliang said, "Then I'll drive first, Yuyu, and you can take over later."

"Okay, Brother Liang, just tell me if you feel tired of driving." Yu Yu nodded.

Once the driving problem is solved, everything will be easy.

Su Xing thought that they should take a start-up and final shot now while they were still dressed up and looking good before leaving. His suggestion was immediately agreed by his brothers.

Several people stood happily under a simple red banner, recording the belated beginning and "end" of their own group variety show. Perhaps many years later, this scene will still be hidden in everyone's heart.

The seven of them officially set off.

Su Xing took the relatively comfortable co-pilot seat, Wang Yuexin and Zhang Yuan sat in the middle two-person seat, and the remaining three squeezed into the three-person seat in the back row. In order to take care of the two older brothers, Yu Yu took the initiative to sit in the middle.

Wang Zhengliang sat in the driver's seat. He first asked everyone whether they had bought insurance, and then thought about the position of the brakes and clutch. Hearing this, others were suddenly startled and started clamoring for Yu Yu to drive.

"Yes, Brother Liang, brake on the left and clutch on the right." Yu Yu shouted with a smile in the back seat.

"?" Chen Xiansheng glanced at him, and his eyes were clearly looking at the naughty child who was causing trouble again.

"Oh, no, the clutch is on the left and the brake is on the right." Yu Yu said again.

"It's over, it's over! Help! There is not a single reliable driver in this car!" Wang Yuexin shouted.

"Get out of the car, get out of the car, change people, change people!" Su Xing also shouted and pretended to open the door.

"No, believe me, I can drive. I just needed to recall it. Now I know it." Wang Zhengliang grabbed Su Xing who was about to jump out of the car and started the van.

The car started slowly and headed towards a future that was destined to be happy and bright.
