The neighborhood of Li Bin’s family is just two intersections away from Xu Lin’s ho.
He also asked Chu Fengyi to drop Li Bin off first, and they arrived at his neighborhood’s entrance in just a few minutes.
“We’re here.”
Xu Lin said, turning around. He noticed that Li Bin, who had been very excited just now, seed to be feeling a bit sad.
Could it be that he feels a little envious because Ma Zhiyu has a girlfriend but he doesn’t?
“Xu Lin, is it okay to leave the bikes next to the restaurant?”
“No problem, there’s security in the restaurant’s parking lot at night too. Still feeling uncomfortable? Drink so warm water when you get ho, take it easy on the dicine, it might react with alcohol.”
“Um.” Li Bin nodded, opened the car door, and walked down, waving to them.
“Teacher Chu, Xu Lin, see you when school starts.”
“Xu Lin, did you two have a falling out?” Chu Fengyi asked.
“No, why would you say that?”
“Hasn’t your friend always had a silly happyness? Why did he suddenly beco like this?”
“You’re quite an. What do you an by ‘silly happiness’? Maybe because he saw Ma Zhiyu has a girlfriend now, he feels sour, right?”
“Oh, heading ho?”
“Yeah, going ho.” Xu Lin smiled. He really liked these two words.
A few minutes later, they arrived downstairs. Xu Lin got out of the car, but found Chu Fengyi hadn’t co out yet. He knocked on the window.
“Are you not going up to sit for a while?”
“No, I’m going over to Chu Qingchan’s place. She was craving strawberries the night before last, and when I happened to see them today, I bought so.”
“Oh, I see. Go ahead.”
“Xu Lin, what’s with that look? I’m just passing by!”
Chu Fengyi gave him a glare, then revved the engine and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Back ho, Dad was lying on the sofa watching TV, while Mom was sweeping the floor, a scene that was ordinary yet comforting.
“As soon as you walked in, I could sll smoke on you. Is one of your classmates smoking?”
“Mom, no, they don’t smoke. I didn’t even drink any alcohol, we didn’t sit in a private room, there must be so smoke in the main hall.”
“Then take off your clothes, go to the balcony and air them out, don’t bother washing them, you won’t be able to dry them for school tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Xu Lin obediently hung his clothes outside.
“Have you eaten enough?”
“Yes, I’m full.”
“By the way, why have you been buying so many dried potatoes lately? You never liked potatoes since you were little,” Xu Feng asked him while watching the ga.
“I’m planning to make okonomiyaki and film it.”
“You just need to keep your grades stable for , stop ssing around with this and that!”
“If my grades slip, you guys can just beat up and be done with it.”
“Too much trouble to bother hitting you.”
“Haha, I’ll go busy myself first, you guys rest early.”
After entering the bedroom, Xu Lin took out his notebook. He sat on the bed, leaned against the wall, and began his daily writing routine.
Because he wrote three chapters yesterday, one chapter is enough for today. After writing for more than an hour, before 10 o’clock, Xu Lin finished today’s chapter.
“Yawn~~ Feeling sleepy, but isn’t it a bit early to sleep at this ti? How about chatting for a bit?”
He opened his phone and found the group unusually quiet today, with only a few people occasionally chatting.
Xing MiMi: “Ah, the author updated.”
Rainwater: “Saw it, recently updates have stabilized at 2 chapters.”
Night Without a Knife: “That’s too few, ask him to update more.”
Rainwater: “The author said even with rewards, there won’t be extra updates.”
Night Without a Knife: “Sigh~! He’s such a slacker.”
Xing Mimi: “Maybe the author is busy with their real-life job.”
Mad Wind Kills Chaotic: “Yeah, many authors have other jobs. By the way, is today’s chat less active than usual?”
Night Without a Knife: “@Burning the Flowers of Chang’an overnight.”
Rainwater: “Maybe they’re busy today. By the way, Xing Mimi, are you a part-ti or full-ti content creator?”
Xing Mimi: “Um… well, I’m not sure if I’d consider myself full-ti, but I do have quite a bit of ti.”
Rainwater: “So, you don’t shoot videos often, do you?”
Xing Mimi: “Because my caraman has so family matters, I’m not good at shooting by myself.”
Night Without a Knife: “I see. When you said last ti that you made it to the hopage, will you tell us who you are?”
Xing Mimi: “When I get recomnded on the hopage, I’ll tell you guys which content creator I am. Usually, it’s hard to get there, and I update slowly. Also, the type of content I shoot isn’t mainstream.”
Rainwater: “Keep it up.”
Xing Mimi: “Thanks.”
Xu Lin realized that this ‘Xing Mimi’ person seed to be a content creator. Perhaps she is a full-ti YouTuber. He wondered if he could seek advice from her.
Looking at the na, he assud she was a girl, so contacting her directly might not be appropriate. Deep down, Xu Lin didn’t want to get involved with girls who weren’t within the 12 Zodiac signs.
“Wait! This is just work! I’m here to earn money, why am I overthinking this?”
After hesitating for a few seconds, he still opened the other party’s information box and sent a ssage.
Mr. Xu Twelve: “Hello, Miss.”
Xing Mimi: “Hi! I’m here, oh? Are you the real author?”
Mr. Xu Twelve: “Good evening. I have sothing I’d like to consult you about.”
Xing Mimi: “Just let know.”
Mr. Xu Twelve: “Well, I noticed you’re an up-and-coming content creator, and recently, I have a cousin who wants to beco an up-and-coming content creator too. He’s good at cooking and wants to be a food-thed host.”
“But he doesn’t know how to shoot, nor does he know what equipnt to use, can you recomnd sothing?”
Xing Mimi: “Sure, give his QQ number, I’ll chat with him.”
Oh man, how do I handle this? I don’t even have two QQ accounts. What should I do?
Now saying it’s for myself to shoot would be so awkward.
Luckily, the other party is not unintelligent. Seeing that he didn’t imdiately respond, she followed up with another ssage.
“I’ll tell you first, then you can tell him.”
“Thank you.”
Xing Mimi: “First of all, regardless of what we’re shooting, everyone has their own choices and personal perceptions.”
“I use what I like, which might not be the sa for you… or even your cousin. Even when shooting the sa food area, using different equipnt, the results are still pleasing.”
“Of course, it needs to look good, especially indoors, and lighting matters. Expensive gear doesn’t necessarily suit you… or your cousin.”
Mr. Xu Twelve: “Okay, I’m the one who is shooting, you don’t have to type like this.”
Xing Mimi: “Haha, joking aside, the size of lighting equipnt matters too. If the kitchen itself is relatively small, it wouldn’t make sense to use bulky lighting equipnt.”
Then she delved into so basic photography knowledge and talked about cara brands.
Of course, she also recomnded so individual products and discussed lens choices for shooting food videos.
Xu Lin took out his notebook and jotted down so key points ntioned by the other party.
Then the other party also talked about her experience as an up-and-coming content creator, which he found very beneficial.
Xing Mimi: “But now the video quality on Bilibili is only 1080p, and the fra rate isn’t that great either. Even if you shoot really well, it doesn’t show much.”
Xu Lin nodded in agreent. Before he crossed over, the small platform had already supported 4k for a while, but now it’s only 720p and 1080p, and not even high fra rates.
“Then just choose from the budget range I recomnded to you, add a lens, and try to get 8k to 10k RMB (Renminbi) range,” Xing Mimi suggested.
Mr. Xu Twelve:”Thank you, thank you. It’s already 11 o’clock, I didn’t realize I’ve kept you from resting.”
Xing Mimi:”No worries, I hope the author can produce a satisfactory work, let see it when it’s done.”
Mr. Xu Twelve: “Definitely.”
Xing Mimi: “Please update more frequently~”
Mr. Xu Twelve: “I’ll try my best.”
Xu Lin sighed deeply as he collapsed onto the bed after locking his phone screen. “Ten thousand yuan!”
Tomorrow, he would see if that gentleman was truly offering his shop for free. If it’s free, then he would have the money to buy the equipnt, but it would also an owing a favor.
Compared to owing money, repaying favors could be even harder to settle all at once, with less clarity on how to do so.
