Chapter 146: Tremella and Snow Pear Soup Filled with Love (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Yu Qinghuan’s cold was menacing and had not relieved for a long time. After more than a week, his condition had basically took a turn for the better. He coughed occasionally, so Yu Xin took monk fruit with him all the time to make tea for Qinghuan from time to time.
The roadshow of The Line of Life and Death had lasted for half a month. Today’s stop was their last destination. After dinner, all of them could return their own home.
The whole film crew revealed the expression of relief at the thought that they no longer had to get up so early, go to sleep so late and work so hard.
Even Liu Jia’an, whose style had always been rigid, touched his bare forehead and smiled for the first time, “I thank all of you! I’ll hand out red envelopes in our chat group later!” After a pause, he deliberately stressed, “Big red envelopes!”
In fact, the director also wanted to win a good omen. Tomorrow would be the releasing day of The Line of Life and Death. Liu Jia’an wanted to get a good start in advance.
When the film crew heard about the red envelopes, they immediately became active. The silent chat group was instantly swept by all kinds of emoji such as rubbing hands. There was even some staffs ridicule Liu Jia’an:
[Don’t wait, Director Liu, send it now!]
[Yes! Send it now! Send it now!]
[I’m rubbing my hands! Director Liu, I beg you to send it immediately.]
…
After all the efforts and hardships, the film crew finally breathed a sigh of relief and were moved by the joyful atmosphere. Under the vehement commands from the crowds, Liu Jia’an took out his cell phone, “OK! Then I’ll send it now!”
Deafening cheers immediately rang out from the box. Everyone lit up the mobile phone screen, held their breath and waited for Liu Jia’an’s red envelopes.
Liu Jia’an did not engage in gimmicks, either. His fingers moved quickly on his mobile phone and handed out more than a dozen red envelopes, blurring everyone’s eyes in front of the screen.
“What are you thinking?” While opening a red envelope, Zhao Qingyuan did not forget to pay attention to Yu Qinghuan. Seeing Qinghuan didn’t move his finger at all, he elbowed him, “Snatch it! Come on! Otherwise, you are gonna miss the big ones later.”
“I know.” Yu Qinghuan reluctantly put down his durian crisp and slowly began from the first red envelope.
The number of red envelopes set by Liu Jia’an was exactly the number of people in the film crew, so there was no situation that the red envelopes would be not enough. With the movements of Yu Qinghuan’s inching fingers, the amount of money of red envelopes got by him revealed one by one.
The amount of money he got from the red envelopes was all 199, 190, 195... no less than 190!
Yu Qinghuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and felt that Heaven was joking with him again. Clearly, he had intentionally delayed his movements, how could he still grab those biggest ones! Was he too lucky or were the rest of the film crew so unlucky?!
While thinking of that, he felt a chill from the back ridge. He looked up and saw all the film crew members staring at him angrily.
…
Being stared at by dozens of pairs of unfriendly eyes, he felt under great pressure. Yu Qinghuan forced a smile. As soon as he wanted to speak, Zhao Qingyuan’s hands put on his shoulder. He wore a sad look, “Qinghuan, could you please leave those red envelopes alone? Have some mercy on us!”
The rest of the film crew members took so much pain for the ‘speed competition’, but each of them got less than 5 Yuan altogether for opening a dozen of red envelopes. What the feeling was that?!
Although Yu Qinghuan was his good friend, at this moment, Zhao Qingyuan also felt annoyed.
Perhaps the resentment against Yu Qinghuan was too strong. For the first time, several film crew members forgot Zhao Qingyuan’s identity and said in a collapsed way, “Qingyuan, you still got a few yuan! We only snatched a few cents!”
Zhao Qingyuan, “...”
So, are they trying to say I am already lucky enough?
Under the strong protest of the film crew members, Yu Qinghuan was mercilessly kicked out of the chat group.
It was really strange that the amount of money contained in the following red envelopes had never been so unevenly. This made Liu Jia’an drop his jaws. In the end, he used the director’s privilege shamelessly and changed seats with the person beside Yu Qinghuan, saying euphemistically: The movie would be shown soon, I need some luck.
“Qinghuan, look at me!” Just when Yu Qinghuan was unable to laugh or cry, Zhao Qingyuan suddenly called him. At the moment when Qinghuan turned his head, Zhao Qingyuan took a photo of him. Zhao bowed his head and edited the photo happily while saying, “I’m going to send the photo of ‘koi’ on Weibo, hoping a good result for the premiere of The Line of Life and Death!”
He typed so fast that before Yu Qinghuan had time to stop him, he already sent it out.
Zhao Qingyuan V: Look at this evil beast!!! There were 20 of us in the chat group waiting for the red envelopes! And there was a dozen! But he got more than 190 Yuan each time! [Goodbye] I want to expose him and got some luck from him [Picture].
Zhao Qingyuan just meant to make a joke on Yu Qinghuan, but when his Weibo was sent out, Liu Jia’an immediately forwarded it, and then everyone on spot did the same thing.
The netizens with the heart of gossip were shocked off their chins. Yu Qinghuan’s good luck let everyone feel jealous and even made him regarded as a mascot by everyone!
Netizens all wanted to get some good luck from him.
“I’ll forward it! To get some luck!”
“Hahahaha, our little koi is indeed the god’s beloved son, so forward it to get good luck.”
“To tell the truth... If you hadn’t reminded me, I’d forgotten what Yu Qinghuan’s real name was. In my heart, he only had one name: Koi!”
…
With this interlude, the sadness of parting among the film crew immediately dissipated.
