Chapter 30: The First Snow
Sui Anli just wanted to divert his attention. After her nerves were so tense, she didn't have the strength to deal with anyone.
Director He was also frightened. An accident like this before was a rare occurrence in a century.
If it happened again, the months of preparation by all the staff would be a joke.
Although the directing team was quite shocked, the audience did not find any clues. At most, they were confused as to why Xiao Sheng was clearly on the program list, but the singer was replaced by a girl.
Some people then read entertainment news and learned that something happened to Xiao Sheng.
There are no secrets in the entertainment industry. As soon as the media reports overwhelmingly, everyone knows everything.
It also caused quite a stir on the Internet.
Fortunately, the second half of the live broadcast of the New Year's Eve party went smoothly.
The audience responded enthusiastically, with bursts of laughter and applause.
Sui Anli breathed a sigh of relief after watching the last language program end.
She left the scene, wanting to calm down her emotions.
As soon as she walked outside, her cell phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was her mother. Ms. An's voice sounded slightly excited.
"Congratulations, honey, your program is great. Your dad, me, and some grandpas all watched it in front of the TV. Although your grandpa didn't say anything, he could tell that he was very happy to watch it. Your dad even said that you were standing in front of the TV.
The way she sings on stage is so beautiful.”
Sui Anli felt warm in her heart. She didn't have to have her family recognize her achievements, but she would be very happy with their encouragement.
"Thank you, Mom. I will continue to work hard. It's too late now. You should go to bed early."
Ms. An was on the other end of the phone and said in a good mood:
"It doesn't matter if you stay up late occasionally. Why are you going back to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year?
I heard from your Aunt Sheng, has Chengzhou gone to your place, and how are you getting along?"
Sui Anli has a headache, and sometimes she is really afraid of dealing with her mother.
"It depends on when I take my vacation when I return to Yanjing for the New Year. Brother Chengzhou and I get along very happily. I have been so busy now that I am very tired."
She said the last sentence very tactfully. Even if Ms. An wanted to talk to her daughter for a few more words, she couldn't bear it.
"You haven't gone back to rest yet? Have you eaten?"
Sui Anli hummed, "I've had my work lunch, but I can still have some when I get home."
Ms. An didn't say any more, "Okay, I'll talk to mom next time when you have time. Since you've been busy with work these days, just take a good rest."
Sui Anli obediently agreed, and then she took a deep breath after hanging up the phone.
The live broadcast ends in about half an hour, and there is nothing left for her to do inside. Instead of staying inside and waiting with nothing to do, she might as well go home first.
The live broadcast of the New Year's Eve party is not within the TV station. Because it has to accommodate a large number of viewers, another venue was chosen.
As soon as Sui Anli arrived at the parking lot, it started snowing outside. This was the first snow of the new year.
Sui Anli reached out to catch the snowflakes with some excitement and played with them for a while. When he turned his head, he saw Jiang Chengzhou walking over from nowhere.
As soon as he saw Sui Anli, he smiled.
"I guessed you would be here, can you go home?"
Sui Anli clapped his hands, "Okay, I'm already busy. Why did you think of coming to pick me up today?"
Jiang Chengzhou walked to her and opened the car door for her. After getting into the car, he explained:
"Today is New Year's Eve. No matter how busy you are, you should take a rest."
Sui Anli stretched out and sat in the passenger seat with peace of mind.
"How many days can you rest?"
"Two days is still okay, what about you?"
Sui Anli raised three fingers happily.
"I can have one more day off than you, but Sister Zhou went out to play with the little sisters during the holiday. How are we going to meet our three meals a day?"
Jiang Chengzhou started the car and said confidently:
"Leave all these to me. I can't make you a full banquet, but I certainly won't starve you to death."
Sui Anli unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.
"Are you so confident? I happen to be hungry. I'll go home and wait for you to feed me."
Jiang Chengzhou said without hesitation:
"Okay, I have to check what's in the refrigerator at home. I guess Sister Zhou bought some vegetables."
Sui Anli lay on the car window and watched the snow falling more and more outside.
"Sister Zhou may not buy it. The weather forecast says there will be snow for several days in a row. We may have to stay home with the cat."
Jiang Chengzhou comforted him while driving:
"Isn't this nice? You can have a good rest at home. How about your live broadcast tonight? It's a pity that I don't have time to watch TV."
Sui Anli leaned lazily on the back of his chair and said confidently:
"With me here, how can it not go well? There will be a replay tomorrow, you can watch it again."
She's not used to showing off in front of others, but she's in a good mood now.
Jiang Chengzhou was very happy for her, "I believe in your ability. I will watch the replay tomorrow."
After the two of them stepped into the house, the New Year's Eve party was almost over, and Pan Bin even made a special call.
"Director Sui, why are you missing? We in Taiwan will have a New Year's Eve dinner together tonight."
Jiang Chengzhou was getting her slippers and wanted to help her change into her shoes.
Sui Anli was a little uncomfortable, but she was answering the phone and it was really inconvenient, so she could only let him do it.
"Director Pan, my boyfriend picked me up and took me home. I'm too tired today, so I'm going to rest first. You guys should eat and drink well."
Pan Bin originally wanted to praise Sui Anli at the dinner table, but after trying to persuade her for a long time, seeing that she really didn't want to come and her boyfriend was by her side, he didn't force it.
As soon as Jiang Chengzhou entered the house, he turned on the air conditioner, took off his down jacket and went to the kitchen.
After searching around in the kitchen, he looked at the post-it note on the refrigerator with both laughter and tears.
"Anli, Sister Zhou said that when she was away, she wanted us to go out to eat directly. She didn't leave any fresh vegetables for fear of spoiling them."
Sui Anli walked up to him, took the sticky note from his hand, opened the refrigerator door, and found that there were still eggs inside.
He said cheerfully: "There are still noodles in the kitchen, let's just eat some egg noodles?"
Jiang Chengzhou had no choice but to agree.
"Then you go sit on the sofa and rest, and I'll cook."
Sui Anli nodded. At this moment, her mobile phone mailbox was almost overwhelmed with messages from everyone, and she had to reply to them one by one.
Basically, they are all congratulatory text messages. People who are not familiar with them can ignore them, but most of them still require a word of thanks.
When Jiang Chengzhou's noodles were ready, she had not yet finished replying to her message.
Jiang Chengzhou brought the noodles to the table, each serving a small bowl. It was difficult to digest even if he ate too much at this time.
"Come over quickly and have a taste."
Sui Anli quickly put her phone away, she could already smell the aroma of noodles.
"I can't believe how you can make noodles so delicious."
Jiang Chengzhou said with a sense of accomplishment:
"I used to know how to cook when I went to school abroad, but at that time I only cooked for myself. I don't know if it will suit your taste."
Sui Anli picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks, blew on it and put it into his mouth, and said sincerely:
“The cooking is much better than mine, and it’s delicious.”
Jiang Chengzhou smiled happily when he heard this.
