Chapter 138 - 138 138 The Ones Involved The Onlookers

138: Chapter 138: The Ones Involved, The Onlookers 138: Chapter 138: The Ones Involved, The Onlookers Brother Liu couldn’t stand it anymore and gently nudged Qiangzi with his elbow, “Hey, what are you busy with?

Everyone’s chatting, and you’re not even looking up.

What’s that supposed to mean?

Got a complaint or something?”

Qiangzi sheepishly scratched his head with a grin, “Hehe, no, no, chatting away here.

Just now, Chengcheng replied to my message, they’ve landed!”

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became interested.

Qiangzi was hitting it up with the doll’s best friend.

“Not bad, even Chengcheng is in on it.

You might have a chance!” Yue Feng teased.

“Took the opportunity while there weren’t too many people around to ask for her contact info.

Didn’t expect she’d give it so readily, hehe!” Qiangzi was quite open about it.

“Those two girls may seem all fun and games and without much airs, but deep down, they’re not the type that’s easy to get close to!

I reckon Qiangzi’s going to have a tough time.

Yue Feng, on the other hand, might stand a chance!” Brother Liu cruelly doused Qiangzi with a bucket of cold water.

“Why’s that?

I don’t accept that, Brother Liu.

I’m quite the catch, thank you very much!” Qiangzi argued discontentedly.

“It’s just a feeling!

If you don’t believe me, we can do an experiment.

You and little Yue send them a message at the same time, and see who they reply to first!”

“Bring it on!

I refuse to believe it!” Qiangzi didn’t take it seriously, grabbed Yue Feng’s phone, and placed it next to his own.

He opened Weixin and typed out a new message, sending both simultaneously.

What followed was instant self-imposed isolation for Qiangzi.

Yue Feng’s phone quickly buzzed with several replies, while after a long wait, Qiangzi’s only received a single “Hmm”.

“Damn it, city chicks play hard to get!” Qiangzi, struck a fatal blow, pushed Yue Feng’s phone back and stuff his own phone into his pocket in resignation.

Yue Feng flashed a grin and said, “Don’t get discouraged.

Later on, I’ll subtly inquire for you through Doll.

She and Su Cheng are best friends, they live together!”

“Forget it, have you ever seen me eagerly wait on anyone?

I’m done playing!” Qiangzi, greatly disheartened, saw his enthusiasm plunge to rock bottom.

…

On the way home, Doll was getting cozy with Su Cheng in the back seat of the taxi driver’s car.

“Aww, Fengfeng sent me a message, asking if we’ve landed yet!” Doll, clutching her phone, swiftly replied.

“Ugh!” Su Cheng gave Doll a glance, not knowing what to say.

Qiangzi had already asked her the same question when they had landed.

Su Cheng had answered truthfully, then Qiangzi mentioned that he was having dinner with Yue Feng.

Logically speaking, Yue Feng would have known that they had landed safely.

Was he just putting on a show, or was there some other intention?

After pondering for a second, Su Cheng handed her phone to Doll.

Doll, ever so astute, quickly picked up on the oddity, her eyes twinkled as she covered her mouth with a giggle.

“Hahaha, that’s hilarious!”

“Laughing my ass off, what kind of obligatory courtesy is this!” Su Cheng rolled her eyes.

In Su Cheng’s view, ever since they boarded the plane, Doll had been acting like a different person, behaving rather abnormally.

“You think Fengfeng is that dumb?

He saw right through me pretending to be drunk that night!”

They say love is blind, and even Su Cheng, who had always prided herself on being an observer, was starting to feel confused.

Yeah, given Yue Feng’s emotional intelligence, he shouldn’t be making such a rookie mistake.

A few seconds later, Doll slapped her forehead, “Haha, I’ve got it!

He’s testing you!

If I’m not wrong, that handsome guy named Qiangzi has a thing for you!”

Actually, I have to admit, he was indeed very attentive when it came to messaging.

Once I thought about it, it made sense, but Su Cheng always kept her responses cool-headed, using language that was polite and restrained.

After the last message was sent, her response was just a single “Hmm,” and there was no follow-up.

“He’s not bad, but there’s just no spark!” Su Cheng agreed with what her friend said, helplessly shrugging her shoulders.

“Of course, compared to my Fengfeng, he’s definitely going to pale in comparison!”

“Chengcheng, you’d better cool it!

You’ve already turned into a crazy fan girl!”

“So what if I’m a crazy fan girl!

From the moment he passed my test, I made up my mind!

Humph!

He can’t escape from the palm of my Five-finger Mountain!

I’d even chase after him if I have to, just to make him mine!”

As she spoke, Chengcheng gestured with her delicate hands, as if she was really grasping something in the air.

“Silly girl, don’t you find it strange?” Su Cheng suddenly blurted out something nonsensical.

Chengcheng was startled and turned her head to her bestie: “Strange?

Strange what?”

“Last time, during the live broadcast, I edited a high-quality MV for you, and just yesterday, he sang an original song.

How did he do it?

I specifically noticed that it wasn’t just something casually recorded, a shoddy sample, but something that had been carefully polished.

Others might not realize the difficulty, but don’t you know?”

Chengcheng hadn’t thought of that until Su Cheng mentioned it, and now she also began to frown and ponder.

Making an MV for a song and producing an original track involves a lot of work, both in front of and behind the scenes, far more than what an average person could manage effortlessly with talent alone.

There are many aspects to consider.

Even if one were to direct, act, write, and compose by themselves, there would still be many parts that need professional people and equipment.

Could someone capable of all this really be just an owner of a fishing supply store in a small eighteenth-tier county?

Behind the seemingly effortless facade, how much unknown effort had he expended?

The power of logical thinking can allow a person to see the essence through the phenomena.

In this aspect, Chengcheng was blinded by being too close to the situation and couldn’t see clearly, but as an observer, Su Cheng saw it very clearly.

“Ah, why didn’t you remind me earlier?

If I had known, I could’ve asked him in person!

But being outstanding isn’t a bad thing, it doesn’t affect my liking him one bit!” After a brief moment of annoyance, Chengcheng quickly came to terms with the idea.

“You’re hopeless!” Su Cheng rolled her eyes in resignation, no longer wanting to deal with her lovesick friend.

…

Around nine in the evening, Yue Feng finally finished dinner and returned to the shop.

He had been staying at the reservoir for the past few days, and though it didn’t seem too tiring, once he relaxed back in the shop, he felt exhausted and reluctant to move.

He wanted to rest, but Yue Feng couldn’t go straight to sleep.

With the recent live streams and promotions, he had accumulated a lot of footage for editing.

It wasn’t convenient to upload shorts while at the campsite, so now, back home, it was the perfect time to organize and upload them to the platform, ideally gaining a surge of new followers.

After locking the door, Yue Feng started reviewing the clips that the Smart Editor had automatically edited and compiled from his system’s backend.

While people can be distracted, machines are different.

The Smart Editor had clipped every highlight from the past several days of broadcasting without missing a single one, all properly tagged and stored in the backend.

Yue Feng glanced over them briefly, and there were quite a lot of them.
