"Mom, listen to me, your son recently fell for a motorcycle大神!"
Su Mu, who was wrapping dumplings in the kitchen, saw Su Chen run out of his room and say as he ran.
"Mom, look, it's this guy. I'm telling you, he's incredibly awesome!..."
Su Chen held his phone screen towards Su Mu, sharing his idol with her.
"Alright, alright, I see. Don't bother me, I'm busy."
Su Mu glanced at the screen and said with a smile.
Su Mu's hands were covered in flour. She was planning to make more dumplings since it was a holiday. This rascal was causing trouble again.
"Hehe!"
Su Chen knew his mother was busy, so he didn't say more and quickly ran back to his room.
"This rascal!" Su Mu scolded with a smile. She had no idea what to do with her good-for-nothing son. Ever since he dropped out of school three years ago.
She had come to terms with it. If her child wasn't cut out for studying, forcing him was useless. So, she let Su Chen go to construction sites with his father to move bricks and earn money.
Unexpectedly, the kid started moving bricks during the day and doing game live streams at night. He became bigger and bigger, even earning over a hundred yuan a day. Later, she let him do live streams at home.
She couldn't bear to let her son do such hard and tiring work outside, but it was also a form of tempering, letting him know that he had to work hard if he didn't study.
Thinking of the phone screen just now, Zhang Yingrong smiled and shook her head. This kid, why was he becoming a fan?
Never mind, she'd better hurry up and make dumplings. She only had one day off a month, so she wanted to make as many as possible during this day off and freeze them in the refrigerator. Then, when she was too late to make breakfast one morning, she could just take one out and cook it.
Su Chen's family lived in a fifty-square-meter apartment in the old district.
Zhang Yingrong worked in a garment factory, and Su Chen's father worked on construction sites. When Su Chen wasn't live streaming, he would help his father move bricks on the construction site.
He could earn quite a bit in a day, but as his live streams started to pick up, Su Chen stopped moving bricks and focused on live streaming.
Back in his room, Su Chen saw that there were more than ten people in the live stream room.
It seems I have a talent for commentating on car races!
Should I switch? Stop being a game streamer and become a motorcycle commentator?
Su Chen suddenly had the idea of becoming a commentator.
Shanghai International Airport.
Lin Yan had already boarded the plane.
It was past three o'clock now. He estimated that it would be around five o'clock by the time he landed.
As the plane took off, Lin Yan took out his phone and connected to the plane's WiFi. He had to admit that information technology had developed rapidly in recent years. There was even WiFi on planes now.
However, it could only be connected after the plane had fully taken off.
As soon as he connected to the in-flight WiFi, Lin Yan's WeChat rang.
Xiao Jin: Brother Yan, have you boarded the plane?
It was a message from Su Mojin.
Just as Lin Yan was about to reply, he noticed there were several unread messages above.
Lin Yan scrolled up.
Xiao Jin: Brother Yan, have you eaten breakfast?
This message was sent in the morning, and Lin Yan had actually missed it.
Xiao Jin: Be careful in your competition, pay attention to safety. I'll cheer for you on the live stream!~
This message was sent at eleven o'clock, before Lin Yan's competition.
Xiao Jin: Brother Yan, are you finished with your competition?
This message was sent after Su Mojin's call, and it was already past one o'clock. Lin Yan had already received his award.
"I've boarded the plane."
Lin Yan typed a few words, clicked send, and the message was sent out instantly.
A moment later, Su Mojin replied.
Xiao Jin: Oh oh, so fast. Are you going to take a two-hour flight?
Lin Yan replied: About that. I estimate I'll land around five o'clock.
Xiao Jin: Then after you land... are you coming to the hospital?
Lin Yan thought about it. It was fine, as he had nothing else to do. As for Zhang Mingzhi and the others' celebration, it could be postponed to tomorrow.
With that thought, Lin Yan typed.
"Yes, I'll come over after I land. I'll bring you dinner. What do you want to eat?"
Lin Yan thought that he might as well buy dinner directly when he went over. Speaking of food, Lin Yan remembered the last time Su Mojin wiped his mouth.
After landing, come over. Su Mojin, lying in the hospital bed, unconsciously fiddled with the corner of her hospital gown with her right hand.
If her left hand wasn't wrapped in bandages, she would have wanted to happily roll around on the bed.
Upon seeing Lin Yan's message saying he would come over after landing, Su Mojin felt completely enveloped in happiness. This must be her happiest moment.
Then, Su Mojin typed a reply and sent a cute cat emoji.
Xiao Jin: Okay, then I want to eat wife cakes. Go buy them for me~ [Cute]
When Lin Yan saw the cute emoji Su Mojin sent, the corners of his mouth curved upwards. He clicked on the screen with his right hand and secretly copied and saved it.
"Wife cakes?"
What kind of cake is this? Lin Yan was confused when he saw Su Mojin's message. Whether in his past life or this one, he had never encountered wife cakes.
Never mind, he'd ask Li Wei later. He would definitely know.
"Is there anything else you want to eat?"
Lin Yan typed, after all, wife cakes sounded like just one cake, and it wouldn't be enough for two people.
Hmm?
The reply Lin Yan received was a voice message.
Lin Yan clicked on it. It was the first time Su Mojin had sent him a voice message.
"Mhm, I also want to eat Mapo Tofu, Yu Xiang Rou Si..."
Su Mojin listed several dishes in one breath, but they were all ordinary home-style dishes.
It was fine not to listen, but after hearing it, Lin Yan almost melted.
Su Mojin's voice was soft and sweet, neither like a mature woman's voice nor a little girl's. It was as if she was somewhere in between, both cute and mature.
Lin Yan's phone had very good audio quality. Listening to it, Lin Yan felt like his ears were going to get pregnant. Why hadn't he noticed this before?
