Chapter 428 An Unreal Feeling
I was busy all morning, until 12:30.
Lin Yourong, Sister Ru, and Xing Yujia, all starving, headed to the Hunan TV staff canteen for a quick lunch.
The cafeteria is not open to the public and is divided into several different areas.
The layout and food service mode on the first floor are quite similar to those of a university cafeteria, and the place is bustling with people.
Fortunately, Sister Ru had scouted the place beforehand, so she led the way with ease, heading straight upstairs.
Before long, the three arrived at a dining area specially set up for the "I Am a Singer" program team.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of the first floor, this place is much quieter and features a buffet style.
Lin Yourong gracefully removed her mask and then calmly sat down in the corner to start eating. Although some people occasionally glanced at her, it did not cause any commotion.
After the meal, Lin Yourong very kindly fulfilled the requests of several Hunan TV employees for autographs and photos.
Immediately afterwards, the three of them left the cafeteria, got into a small Audi, and headed towards the Fiesta Hotel, which is adjacent to the broadcasting center.
At this moment, Sister Ru had already handed over the responsibility of driving to Xing Yujia without any worries, while she and Lin Yourong leaned back comfortably in the back seats.
The little Audi drove steadily forward.
Sister Ru gently covered her mouth and let out a soft but satisfying burp, sincerely praising, "Oh my, I have to say, the food in the Hunan TV cafeteria is absolutely amazing! This meal alone has made my stomach feel like it's about to burst. I'm so full that I want to lean against the wall to walk."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong's lips curled up slightly, and she said with a hint of teasing, "Is it mainly because this meal is free?"
Sister Ru was struck on the spot by these words, and unconsciously let out a "uh" sound.
She then steered the conversation toward Xing Yujia, half-jokingly saying, "Actually, it's not just me who eats a lot; Yujia's appetite is also quite impressive! When I was watching her just now, I was worried that if she ate a few more bites, our car might not be able to move."
"Yujia is tall, so what's wrong with her eating more?"
Xing Yujia, who was focused on driving in the front seat, couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard Lin Yourong's rare humorous remark, even though she was the one being teased.
Actually, she felt that everyone ate a lot more than usual, since they hadn't sat down much all morning.
Sister Ru patted Lin Yourong's shoulder lightly, then said in a cheerful tone:
"However, Susu, this morning has been incredibly smooth sailing. Everything went perfectly without any mishaps or any difficult problems. It's been a fantastic start! I hope your work schedule will continue to be this smooth."
Xing Yujia gripped the steering wheel and skillfully turned it slightly to the right, and the little Audi smoothly completed the turn.
Taking advantage of the break, she glanced at the two people chatting and laughing in the rearview mirror, her face beaming with a smile, and interjected, "Sister Ru, you really are a professional stylist. When Sister Su went there, she didn't need any additional makeup or styling. The show's stylist saw her and said that no adjustments were needed, and the cameraman immediately took the photos."
At the time, Sister Ru was busy exchanging pleasantries with Du Yan and Shen Mengchen in the rest area and didn't notice these details.
Hearing this, Sister Ru raised her chin slightly, her face full of pride: "Of course, the look I carefully created for Su Su is all about being noble, aloof, and exuding a powerful aura!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong couldn't help but roll her eyes slightly.
I really want to say that it's clearly Yu Huan's doing; this outfit was all chosen according to his preferences.
But Lin Yourong swallowed the words back down her throat.
After all, in her opinion, saying such things so bluntly would be seen as showing off her husband.
During this brief and pleasant chat, the little Audi leisurely drove along the wide and smooth asphalt road.
A moment later, it slowly turned right, approaching the entrance road of the Faith Hotel.
Xing Yujia presented her check-in documents, then drove her Audi smoothly through the gate and into the Fiesta Hotel, before continuing along the winding internal roads.
When celebrities come to Hunan TV to participate in program recordings, nine out of ten choose to stay at this unique villa-style garden hotel.
As a property owned by Hunan TV, this place not only boasts a pleasant environment but also serves as a filming location for numerous programs.
The carefully trimmed shrubs along both sides of the road are lush and green.
The uniquely styled detached villas are scattered in an exquisite and beautiful garden landscape. Under the slightly dim sunlight, the white walls and red tiles complement each other, exuding European elegance.
Upon arriving at this place, Xing Yujia consciously slowed down, craned her neck, and looked around, searching for signs on both sides of the road, trying to find the parking lot of the villa area that Sister Ru had mentioned earlier.
Sister Ru lowered the car window slightly and took a deep breath of the fresh air, which was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees.
Her face was full of satisfaction as she sincerely exclaimed, "This place has a really nice environment. Every time I come here, I feel very relaxed."
As she said this, her lips moved slightly.
Despite a hint of hesitation on her face, she still offered her advice: "Susu, if you choose to stay here during this period, you won't have to travel back and forth every day. It would be so much more comfortable, and you could better recharge your energy."
Lin Yourong gazed out the car window, admiring the scenery along the way, and smiled without hesitation, saying, "I definitely still have to go back every day."
Sister Ru was not surprised by Lin Yourong's words at all, and just laughed and joked, "Anyway, we don't have to pay for staying here. The lakeside villa also has butler service. From now on, Yujia and I will stay here at night. It would be a waste not to enjoy such good conditions."
Hunan TV is known in the industry for "achieving great results with minimal investment".
Although the appearance fees given to artists are not generous, there are many 'additional services' included. Resource exchange is one aspect, and this five-star garden hotel is a free accommodation provided to artists.
After all, it's originally Hunan TV's own business.
However, Lin Yourong knew in her heart that Sister Ru was just joking.
Sister Ru's home is right by the Liuyang River, only a 20-minute drive from the Broadcasting Center. It's impossible for her to abandon Wang Weiwei and choose to stay here permanently.
"Sister Ru, is this where we park?" Xing Yujia's clear voice came from the driver's seat.
Upon hearing the sound, Lin Yourong subconsciously glanced out the window and saw that the small open-air parking lot was already filled with a variety of vehicles.
"Okay, let's stop here." Sister Ru nodded slightly.
The little Audi slowly turned and drove into the parking lot, smoothly reversing into the parking space under Xing Yujia's skillful control.
One by one, everyone got off the bus. Lin Yourong stretched her arms out and stretched her body to her heart's content.
The fresh air filled her lungs, and the peaceful atmosphere enveloped her. The fatigue and exhaustion accumulated from a busy morning seemed to dissipate like smoke in that instant.
Xing Yujia deftly opened the trunk and took out two rather large suitcases.
Then, each of them, including Sister Ru, dragged one of the three of them along the shimmering lakeside towards the villa they had booked.
Sister Ru walked briskly ahead, her suitcase's rubber wheels gently scraping against the ground, making a soft, rhythmic sound.
Without turning her head, she said to Xing Yujia behind her, "Yujia, don't rush to rest later. We need to get everything properly settled first. After all, this will be our temporary camp for the next few months. Even if we don't stay here at night, we still need to make sure everything is in order."
"Okay, Sister Ru, I'll follow your arrangements," Xing Yujia replied enthusiastically.
Lin Yourong, feeling relaxed and at ease, casually put her hands in her pockets and followed behind with leisurely steps.
She slightly raised her head, gazing at the lake not far away. Several water birds skimmed across the surface, breaking the calm water and creating ripples.
Before long, the three of them entered a two-story villa.
As soon as Sister Ru let go of the handle of her suitcase, the first thing she did was to walk quickly to the floor-to-ceiling window and look down at the asphalt road below.
Just then, a shuttle bus carrying passengers drove by at a leisurely pace.
Sister Ru decisively drew the curtains shut, and as she turned around, she saw Lin Yourong's graceful figure standing by the lakeside window.
She stepped to the side and realized that Lin Yourong was looking at her phone.
Sister Ru immediately shifted her gaze from Lin Yourong to the expanse of azure lake.
In the midst of the silence, she suddenly exclaimed, "Susu, I really never expected this! From the first time we met at Guangnaoke's restaurant until now, it's only been about half a year, right? And you've suddenly become so famous! Now you're even participating in a high-profile program like 'I Am a Singer'! These past few nights, when I think back on it, it feels like a dream, and I still find it hard to believe."
"It's alright," Lin Yourong replied casually in a soft voice.
A gentle smile played on her lips as she tapped lightly on her phone screen, quickly typing out a short message and sending it to Yu Huan:
"Things went pretty smoothly, how about you?"
Just now, Yu Huan sent her a WeChat message, asking if her work this morning went smoothly.
Sister Ru nodded and said with emotion, "To be honest, although I think that with your qualifications, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself in the entertainment industry, the speed of your development has far exceeded my expectations. Look at you now, people on the street know you, and you are constantly receiving invitations to various events and programs... I can't even turn them all down."
Lin Yourong put down her phone, smiled gently, and said with a hint of emotion in her eyes, "Sister Ru, actually, I often have a feeling of unreality myself."
"This is also due to your own hard work—"
"Sister Susu! Your room is all ready. The one on the far left overlooking the lake, would you like to go up and rest for a bit?" Xing Yujia's clear voice came from the direction of the stairs, interrupting Sister Ru's words.
Hearing the sound, Sister Ru turned her head and looked at Xing Yujia, who was walking down the stairs.
Then, she raised her hand and gently patted Lin Yourong's arm.
"Susu, go upstairs and lie down for a while to get some rest. You have a lot to do this afternoon, and you also need to go to Muse Music to sort out the issues with the symphony orchestra and the recording venue. I'll come upstairs to get you in half an hour."
Lin Yourong nodded slightly and replied, "Okay, then I'll go upstairs to rest first."
As he spoke, he walked toward the open staircase.
With slender fingers resting on the smooth wooden handrail, she dragged her somewhat languid steps and went straight up the stairs to the second floor.
Following Xing Yujia's instructions, Lin Yourong stepped into the leftmost room overlooking the lake.
As soon as I entered the room, a warm and pleasant breeze carrying the delicate scent of lavender wafted towards me; it was clear that Xing Yujia had thoughtfully turned on the air conditioning for her.
Lin Yourong slowly scanned the surroundings, taking a general look at the layout of the place.
The room's decor is minimalist, with walls painted a soft, light beige. A large bed occupies the center of the room, covered with clean white sheets and a fluffy quilt.
Wardrobes, bedside tables, and other furniture all feature a light Nordic style design, perfectly complementing the overall atmosphere of the room.
She walked to the bedside and sat down. The mattress sank slightly, supporting her body perfectly. This made her feel incredibly relaxed. She slowly lowered her upper body, comfortably half-lying on the bed, and stretched out a big yawn.
Just as I was about to take off my shoes to rest, my phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated, followed by a crisp message notification sound.
Lin Yourong calmly took out her phone from her pocket and held it up to her eyes.
After skillfully unlocking the screen, he checked the messages Yu Huan had replied to.
"Of course everything went smoothly for me! I just saw your Weibo update around 8 AM this morning. So you're releasing 'The Wind Rises' the day after tomorrow?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Lin Yourong edited the text, a smile unconsciously appearing on her lips.
"Nothing much, just really touched! You even released a new song on my birthday! No wonder you were so secretive when I asked you before!"
Upon seeing this message, Lin Yourong's smile deepened.
Her fingers flew across the screen: 'Hmph, you're so interested in my Weibo? It must be that little sapling at your workplace who told you, right?'
"That's really not the case. The new media department has been incredibly busy lately; she hasn't had a moment to slack off and follow celebrities." Yu Huan quickly sent another message, "What time are you coming back tonight?"
Lin Yourong thought about it seriously for a moment, then replied, "I'm not sure, it'll probably be after six o'clock."
"Then I'll cook dinner and wait for you to come back. What would you like to eat?"
Upon seeing Yu Huan's message, Lin Yourong felt a surge of sweetness in her heart as she looked at the Chinese characters.
Her eyes crinkled into a smile as she slowly typed out the words:
I like everything you make. Just make something simple, don't overwork yourself.
