Mu Huai got up and drank porridge. After finishing his porridge, he took medicine and went back to sleep. Human body had their own self-repair system, and it seemed that all the illnesses from his usual reckless lifestyle had gathered to be fixed all at once.
Yu Yi tore off the fever patch on his forehead and replaced it. He noticed that there was already one in the trash can, so Mu Huai had changed it once when he woke up. Mu Huai was not happy when he put this thing on for the first time. Besides, this thing didn’t need to be replaced so frequently. It could be seen that Mu Huai wanted to end his illness.
Lan Sha called after knowing that Mu Huai was ill, but Mu Huai’s number couldn’t be reached. He didn’t know where Lan Sha got Yu Yi’s phone number and called Yu Yi’s phone.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Mu Huai gets sick once or twice every year. He just needs to flush it out, and he’ll be fine.”
“It’s just that this kid always bottles things up. He keeps everything inside until something goes wrong, and we don’t even know about it. Would it be convenient for you to see his assistant? I can communicate with the director and call Mu Xi, the kid you’ve seen…”
“Oh, I heard that you called a doctor for Mr. Huai. You are such a good kid!”
Yu Yi talked to Lan Sha for the second time. Compared with the last time when she was aggressive, Lan Sha’s tone was quite good except for her nagging, although it sounded awkward to speak like a child. It can be heard that Lan Sha is very grateful to Yu Yi for taking care of Mu Huai.
Yu Yi said that the team would take care of Mu Huai and rejected the suggestion of sending Mu Xi over. Lan Sha also breathed a sigh of relief, not having to provide more evidence for paparazzi about Mu Huai’s sickness.
That evening, Yu Yi went live on stream. His teammates joined in the fun and came over one by one to show their faces. If it weren’t for this reality show, these anchors would probably never be able to get involved. Having all ten faces appear on one screen at the same time felt like breaking through the 4th wall for their fans.
Yu Yi didn’t have much time for live streams before. He had to take time off during deadlines and finals weeks. After appearing on the show, he had even less time for doing it. Fans, who didn’t know what was going on, flocked to his Weibo. After seeing the announcement, they looked for the link together.
Although the stream announcement had been made long ago, everyone was still suspicious about the other contestants. Since the first episode was only broadcast yesterday, the number of people in everyone’s live stream room increased several times, with a flood of new fans following their managers.
[Master Huai, where is my Master Huai? ]
[I see Shuangshuang!!! Sending love to Yu-ge. You are very handsome! ]
[Yu-ge, you still know how to come back! ]
[I thought Yu-ge went off to date someone. Yu-ge was so awesome that he secretly went to participate in the competition! ]
More people meant more drama, and there were plenty of insulting comments in the barrage. The moderators had their hands full.
After the team mates said hellos, they went back to their seats. After being on the show, the time and number of live broadcasts were also limited, so they usually avoided the other’s live streams.
Yu Yi just saw that fans were almost overwhelming his Weibo, so he decided to start a live broadcast to calm everyone. He briefly explained the limitations of the current live broadcast and introduced the reality show while entering the game. Each team member would say this little spiel once before the live broadcast, and Yu Yi knew it by heart.
[Yu-ge is still Yu-ge. Those who say that Yu-ge is riding the “skill gimmick” should open their eyes and look! ]
[I will watch it on time. Go Yu-ge! ]
The words about other anchors and even about Mu Huai disappeared from the barrage. Maybe the moderators imposed some restrictions.
After Yu Yi finished this round, the barrage miraculously returned to its previous clean state. He took a cup to pour water and accidentally added two lemon slices to the glass jug.
When he came back, he took a closer look at the barrage and saw that the moderators had filtered out words such as “Mu Huai” and “Shuangshuang”. Some users’ IDs with related words would turn into asterisks.
There were special effects for advanced users entering the live broadcast room, and Yu Yi saw a particularly colorful “Unparalleled **” entering the live broadcast room.
“…”
Yu Yi originally chose a single-player match and was waiting for the match. He hesitated for a moment, then backed out and went to the mall to buy some random materials while watching the barrage in the live broadcast room.
[Hao-jie is here? ]
[It’s a pity that Yu-ge can’t play with people recently! ]
Yu Yi remembered something and clicked on matching again to wait. Advanced users could turn on the mic, and the mic flashed next to the “Unparalleled ***”. Then a slightly deeper female voice was heard: “The system changed my name?”
After the voice finished speaking, she coughed and hurriedly cut her mic.
[Is Hao-jie sick?!!]
[I know Hao-jie must be waiting for Yu-ge! This scumbag makes me sick too! ]
Yu Yi pursed his lips and couldn’t help but remind: “I can see the barrage scolding me.”
That one quickly apologized. Someone explained to “Unparalleled **” that the moderators filtered some words, because too many people were using other people’s names. Unparalleled ** didn’t turn on the mic anymore, just typing.
Yu Yi was a little distracted in the next few games. He hurriedly logged off the live broadcast and logged into the messaging app. Sure enough, he saw that Unparalleled ** sent him quite a few messages.
Unparalleled ** said that the earlier messages were all jokes, and then shared a link to Yu Yi: The Complete Guide (Clever Ways) to Win Someone Over.
It’s a serious guide with many people’s advice in it.
Yu Yi clicked on it and took a look before exiting. He tapped his fingertips on the screen and looked solemnly as the messages went back and forth.
Li Mao jumped over and happily picked up the takeout delivered to the door. He then stood in the living room and shouted: “Late night snack time!”
The group swarmed over. Yu Yi didn’t reply. He exited the software and followed them.
The program team’s benefits were pretty good, and they were given the freedom to have late-night snacks. Their favorite thing as a teenager was to order some BBQ and crayfish. Mu Huai was usually not around at times like this. That person wanted to control his body fat and would never touch these foods.
Before going to bed, Yu Yi went next door to see Mu Huai. He had already taken a bath and went back to sleep. His body temperature had dropped a lot, and his fever had subsided. This person was very well-behaved even after falling asleep. He seemed to be used to cameras being everywhere and restrained himself when turning over.
Yu Yi went back to the room and called Yu Ying. His older brother had only taken a look because both his former team mates participated in the show. And once he looked, he couldn’t stop, because his brother’s face was too eye-catching among the crowd.
“Yu Meng would kill me if she knew!” Yu Ying said cursingly: “And she would say that I don’t do my job properly and will lead you into trouble!”
Yu Ying went home very rarely after his debut, and Yu Meng also worked from nine to five. Yu Yi thought about the posters of Yu Ying that he had hoarded at home, and felt that Yu Ying would really be beaten if his sister heard these words.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Yi was in a daze. He sat on the edge of the bed and was stunned for a while before getting into the quilt and falling asleep.
The bed next to him was empty. Haiwang was too timid; it was said that he couldn’t sleep well during the few nights he stayed here, so he moved downstairs to squeeze in with others.
Yu Yi thought to himself, What about me? Am I that scary?
As long as one didn’t do anything stupid, it was hard to get sick this time of the year. By early morning, it was already sweltering outside.
Mu Huai got up earlier than the kids, and when he came downstairs, aunt was making breakfast.
When the aunt saw Mu Huai, she wiped her hands and served him a bowl of soup. She said, “Mu Mu, the kids said you were sick. Why didn’t you sleep in? Auntie made some soup for you to replenish your health!”
Mu Huai thanked her and looked upstairs. He felt that his body was almost healed, and all the discomfort from yesterday was gone. Mu Huai always recovered from illness quickly, as if someone was chasing him behind him. Taking a medicine and lying under the cover, he was basically fine after enduring that one rough day.
Auntie finished cooking and left, and it was almost half past seven. Mu Huai used to sleep until nine in the morning, so when he woke up, the whole world was awake. Now it was the first time that he got up earlier than everyone else, which felt very fresh. He collected the garbage in the living room and took it out to throw away. The cameraman hiding in the dark followed carefully.
Mu Huai counted in his mind. There were many cameramen, and even auntie knew that he had a fever. There was no reason that the program team didn’t know. Otherwise, how could the doctor come in? The program team was very kind this time and didn’t come to cause trouble for him when he was sick.
Thinking of this, Mu Huai smiled brightly at a certain camera.
Manager Mu usually did some of his habits when he had a lot of time. Since he had already eaten breakfast, he wandered around the empty living room, picked up a book, and sat on the sofa to read. The man was leaning on the sofa with his legs crossed, and the fingers turning the pages of the book were thin and pale.
Li Mao looked for the smell of breakfast and drifted towards the dining table with almost closed eyes. He grabbed a break roll and took a bite. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his neck. It was a human’s instinctive vigilance—there seemed to be another silent person in the room under an unknown situation.
Cameramen were not allowed inside to film.
Li Mao turned its head sharply and met the sight of the smiling gentleman on the sofa.
Li Mao: ?!
He suddenly stood up, choking on the food in his throat that he had not yet chewed. Suppressing his blush, he picked up the milk and drank it.
Another boy came out of Li Mao’s room, groggy and confused: “What are you doing? Didn’t you have late-night snacks last night? Are you still hungry? You kids these days have amazing digestion.”
Li Mao didn’t bother to pay attention to his sarcasm, bowed to the sofa, and said incoherently: “M-M-M… Manager Mu! Good morning. No, wait—is your air conditioner sick? Ah, I mean, has your fever gone?”
“What?” The boy who followed him was stunned and turned his head: “Manager?”
Mu Huai smiled.
The members got up one after another and changed into team uniforms, all beige short-sleeved. Mu Huai was waiting on the sofa. Yu Yi got up neither early nor late and came down a little earlier than the two girls upstairs. Unlike the other team members who were making noisy noises, Yu Yi was a little anxious when he went downstairs. When he saw Mu Huai, he calmly looked away, as if Mu Huai should have gotten up so early, sitting right there.
Mu Huai noticed that Haiwang, who was in the same room as Yu Yi, and two other boys came out of the same room downstairs. Mu Huai was used to working at night and sleeping in during the day. Haiwang had moved downstairs quietly, so quiet that Mu Huai only now noticed.
It’s none of his business, anyway.
At nine o’clock, they had to go out for outdoor activities—playing ball games and Pictionary. When Mu Huai brought the people out, Shi Shaoqian and the table tennis players were already sitting under the awning. The sun was very strong, so they couldn’t play for long, or else this bunch of homebodies would have to put on a group heatstroke game outside.
Mu Huai distributed sunscreen to them. And when he handed it to Yu Yi, he slipped an extra lollipop and said thanks. The kid really took care of him yesterday.
Yu Yi unwrapped it in front of him—milky white, banana milk flavor. He gave Mu Huai a whole box, and Mu Huai gave him one in return to say thank you.
“This tastes delicious.” Mu Huai also said. “Don’t feel pressured. Not only little kids can eat lollipops.”
“No pressure”
Yu Yi sighed, lollipop in his mouth, and looked up at him.
Yu Yi was sitting on a low stool. From this angle, the boy looked cold and obedient.
Mu Huai’s eyes moved down and landed on the mole. He let out a laugh, looking a bit rogue.
“Leader, give it your all in the games later. There are many shots to help you make your debut.”
Yu Yi: “… Debut?”
“It’s a pity that you don’t debut with your face.” Mu Huai said. “It would be good to participate in some variety shows in the future and earn some pocket money.”
