Chapter 649: Chapter 464: Co-branded with Langya List_2
The energetic girl imdiately beca full of vigor again and bragged shalessly, “That’s nonsense! It’s because I’m incredibly observant! The last ti we went out to have Thai food, I noticed you didn’t really touch the other dishes and just kept eating the chicken curry!”
“How envious you must be to have such an attentive girlfriend like !” She perked up instantly, her large eyes curving in a smile that was typical of the so-called ‘smiling eyes.’
Girls with those kinds of eyes seem particularly sweet when they smile; you can’t help but be drawn to that smile, feeling as if the whole world has brightened up a bit.
Many tis, when Cheng Zhu watched Lin Lu smile, he’d find himself smiling unconsciously too.
Cheng Zhu managed to mollify her with just a simple response, smiling, “So, do you need my guidance, or are you going to do it all by yourself?”
“No need, I’ll do it independently! Today, I’m the ‘Chinese Little Chef Girl’!” Little Lu started to get cocky again.
Cheng Zhu thought of those TikTok internet celebrities who once popularized the cosplay of ‘Chinese Little Chef Girl’ when he heard those words.
The outfit was indeed eye-catching.
“It’s not a bad idea to add it to the ‘Persistent Visit’ as a new product,” Cheng Zhu thought to himself.
And with Lin Lu’s figure, wearing the ‘Chinese Little Chef Girl’ outfit and with her adorable expressions, it would probably rake in a ton of likes!
The QQ tycoon even ca up with the advertising slogan for this clothing line on the spot.
— Stir-fry you to death!
At this mont, Lin Lu walked into the kitchen with vegetables and at, then looked around blankly.
Cheng Zhu had to go in and help her wash the cutting board and knife, then started peeling the potatoes for her.
“Let handle these preliminary steps, and I’ll do the chopping too. You can co into the picture when it’s ti to test the chef’s true skills,” Cheng Zhu said.
Actually, with premade curry cubes, the following steps were ridiculously easy; even an idiot could do it.
“Okay, okay,” Lin Lu nodded.
She even specifically asked Cheng Zhu, “Do you like it thicker or thinner?”
“Thicker, please,” Cheng Zhu replied.
“OK, easy!” she said nonchalantly.
Then, Cheng Zhu watched her as she reviewed the cooking tutorial found online on her phone, muttering inaudibly to herself.
From the boyfriend’s perspective, Cheng Zhu felt happy that his rich girl of a girlfriend was willing to cook voluntarily, and he wouldn’t make any excessive demands.
After all… it probably couldn’t taste too bad in the end.
To Cheng Zhu’s surprise, the curry actually tasted quite good.
He graciously ate a large bowl of curry rice, stuffing himself more than enough.
Lin Lu was the type who liked to docunt her life; she even wrote a diary.
So, of course, she took a picture of the al.
For soone who likes to record their life, if things are going smoothly, it’s a sweet mory to revisit and savor each ti.
But if not, it’s like a knife in those mories.
Fortunately, Cheng Zhu was soone good at assigning emotional value to such experiences.
After the al, the two of them collapsed on the sofa, each browsing on their phones.
Cheng Zhu sat slumped normally while Lin Lu lay directly on the sofa, her small feet resting on Cheng Zhu’s thighs, occasionally giving a little shake.
She was checking Weibo, reading netizens’ comnts about the premiere of “Langya List.”
Soon, she burst into laughter.
“Hahahaha, Cheng Zhu, I’m dying, soone asked: is this drama’s na really hard to pronounce, doesn’t ‘Langya List’ sound awkward?”
What a lively leaky fish.
It has to be said, the fish that slipped through the net of nine years of compulsory education were quite nurous online.
So were so ignorant that you’d wonder if they’re just playing along with the joke.
Cheng Zhu glanced at Lin Lu and said, “But honestly, the na of this drama does lack appeal; at first glance, you can’t tell what it’s about.”
For so less-educated middle-aged and older people, the na would seem obscure.
However, in reality, “Langya List” had a significant proportion of middle-aged viewers.
Like in his previous life, Cheng Zhu’s parents and grandparents were followers of the show, especially his mother, Xu Yun, who would watch every rerun on TV.
Lin Lu agreed with Cheng Zhu too; if she ca across this na accidentally, she probably wouldn’t specifically tune in to watch.
The only pulling factor might be the lead actor, Hu Ge.
However, Hu Ge had been sowhat quiet for a while before “The Disguiser” and “Langya List”, having gone off to do stage plays, and the dramas he’d done in the past few years hadn’t been particularly popular.
His last hit was “Xuanyuan Sword: Heaven’s Scar” from 2012.
This made Lin Lu a bit worried, and curious, she asked, “Cheng Zhu, why did you choose to advertise on this drama and even collaborate with it?”
“Secret!” Cheng Zhu replied with a smile.
“Pfft! Fine, don’t tell then.” Lin Lu knew he liked to be mysterious.
She herself was in voice acting and knew quite a bit about the film and TV industry; before a drama’s official broadcast, there was usually an elent of uncertainty.
Looking at the na of the drama, she felt it seed to have a rather highbrow tone, not universally appealing.
Thus, Little Lu could only pray silently in her heart, “It must be a hit! It really must be a hit!”
Ti passed until the mont of the official broadcast.
Lin Lu turned on the TV and asked, “Which channel is it on?”
“Beijing TV and Shanghai TV are doing a joint broadcast; just choose one,” Cheng Zhu replied.
She nodded and switched to Shanghai TV.
These two TV stations weren’t bad, but in 2015, the channel with the best viewer base was definitely Mango TV.
aning, the drama didn’t have the best of starts inherently.
