Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 540 The Little Demon 1

A few days later, it was deep winter in Beijing, and the cold was biting.

Yun Chu wrapped his not-so-thick cotton coat tightly around him and walked quickly out of the brightly lit high-end restaurant.

After eight hours of carrying plates among the well-dressed people, my heels ached slightly and my body was covered with the unique smell of oil smoke and sauces from the restaurant kitchen.

Yun Chu touched the pay slip in his pocket and quickly calculated the money he could save during this winter vacation.

When I pushed open the door of the apartment rented by my sister Luo Yunshuang, a warm breath mixed with the smell of takeout hit me in the face, dispelling the cold outside.

Just as Yun Chu was about to bend down to change her shoes, she heard a conversation coming from the living room. It was not the familiar voice of her sister, but... Luo Yunshuang's agent, Sister Zhao.

"Xiao Shuang, this is a great opportunity! Nowadays, audiences love to watch this kind of real-life stream. 'Daily live broadcast' is a project strongly promoted by the platform. Several rising artists have relied on this to increase their popularity..." Sister Zhao spoke quickly and forcefully, with an unquestionable sense of sales promotion.

On the sofa in the living room, Luo Yunshuang, wearing home clothes, sat with her knees hugged, with a look of fatigue and hesitation on her face, like a flower slightly wilted by the wind and frost.

"Sister Zhao, I know this is a good opportunity, but I..." Luo Yunshuang's voice was a little weak, "I'm facing the camera for 72 hours alone. I... I'm afraid it won't be interesting. What if it gets boring?"

"Oh, don't worry! The audience likes reality! Real life isn't all scripted..." Sister Zhao was saying this when she caught a glimpse of Yun Chu standing at the entrance, having just changed his shoes. Her eyes lit up instantly, "Oh! Yun Chu is back?"

Yun Chu nodded: "Hello, Sister Zhao, sister."

When Luo Yunshuang saw her sister, her tense shoulders seemed to relax a little, and she smiled faintly: "Are you off work? Are you tired? I'm warming up the soup in the kitchen."

Sister Zhao walked a few steps to the entrance and looked Yun Chu up and down.

The girl in front of me had just taken off her restaurant waitress uniform jacket, revealing a simple sweatshirt underneath. Her long black hair was tied into a neat ponytail, revealing her smooth forehead and pretty profile.

Although he looked tired after work, his eyes were bright and revealed the youthful vigor of a college student.

The most important thing is... Sister Zhao's eyes swept across Yun Chu's cheeks, which looked particularly healthy and rosy because of the good food in the restaurant.

"Just got off work? You've worked so hard." Sister Zhao's smile immediately became ten times warmer. "Yun Chu, how about discussing something with you?"

Yun Chu was a little confused: "Sister Zhao, tell me."

Sister Zhao pointed in the direction of the living room and said, "Your sister has accepted a live variety show, 'Daily Life'. It starts this weekend and will be a three-day live broadcast of her at home."

She explained quickly, then changed the subject, "I was just telling your sister that it might be a bit monotonous for her to be alone. If you don't have any special plans for winter break, could you... also appear on the show?"

"Ah?" Yun Chu was stunned and looked at her sister.

Luo Yunshuang also looked at her, her eyes filled with inquiry and a hint of anticipation. She was indeed afraid of facing the camera alone for three days.

Sister Zhao continued to persuade him, "Look, your sister is a celebrity, and you're just an ordinary girl. The real daily lives of sisters are so interesting to watch! And you're studying at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and you have a reputation as a top student. That's the most important thing!"

Sister Zhao's eyes sparkled as if she had discovered a treasure. "I heard from your sister that you're a big eater and really good at eating! Your cooking is delicious, right? Live broadcasts of you cooking and eating are something the audience loves to watch!"

"Just... just treat it as winter vacation and stay home with your sister for three days. It also gives your sister some company. How nice is that?"

Yun Chu digested Sister Zhao's words. Live broadcast?

Living with my sister for three days? And showing off my cooking skills and... my appetite?

Her system task of "enough delicious food to eat every day" instantly came to mind.

This is not a conflict, it's even... quite compatible?

As for appearing on camera... her inner sense of urgency to save her sister's fate made her feel that perhaps this was an opportunity, a chance for her to gain more attention and build better audience appeal before the situation became serious and before her sister was involved in a conflict with the heroine!

With more fans and more voices, there may be more room for maneuver when facing online violence in the future.

"Okay." Yun Chu didn't hesitate much, and a natural smile appeared on her face, with a bit of girlish shyness and a kind of pure interest.

"It sounds interesting. As long as I don't disturb my sister's work. But Sister Zhao, I am just an ordinary eater, and my cooking skills are... average." She said modestly subconsciously, touching the back of her head.

"Great! That's great!" Sister Zhao clapped her hands, her face filled with the joy of having achieved her goal. "Don't be modest! The audience will have the final say! It's settled! Xiaoshuang, look! My sister has agreed! I'll go and reply to the production team right away!"

Sister Zhao hurriedly picked up her cell phone and went to the balcony to make a call.

Luo Yunshuang looked at her sister, breathed a long sigh, and relaxed completely, as if she had found a reliable pillar of support.

She gave Yun Chu a genuine and brilliant smile, which carried the intimacy that an older sister has for her younger sister, as well as a subtle hint of dependence: "Thank you, Yun Chu."

"Why are you being so polite to me, sister?" Yun Chu walked over with a smile and sat down next to her sister. She sniffed the lingering smell of takeout in the air and wrinkled her small nose.

"But... the takeout tonight doesn't taste... that good. How about... I pick up some groceries on my way home from get off work tomorrow and make you something delicious?"

Luo Yunshuang's eyes suddenly lit up. Sister Zhao's comments about "good appetite and cooking skills" instantly became extremely specific in her mind. She nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Yun Chu also laughed.

Perhaps delicious food is really the first step towards a “natural death” (living comfortably) and helping my sister?

At seven o'clock in the morning, the sky was still dark, and the winter chill of Beijing seemed to seep in through the windows.

The lights in Luo Yunshuang's rented apartment were already on, and the air was filled with an unusual tension and vitality.

Several staff members wearing dark vests and work badges on their chests deftly set up small but clear cameras in several corners of the living room and kitchen, and laid out the wiring to ensure that they could cover the main activity areas without being too intrusive.

Several small panes were quietly lit on the monitor screen in the corner, showing real-time images from various camera positions.

Luo Yunshuang sat on the only sofa in the living room that was not "occupied", her back straight, her hands nervously placed on her knees, her fingertips slightly white.

She had put on light makeup to create a fake "natural look" on her face, and was wearing a comfortable but carefully matched light-colored cashmere sweater and trousers. Her hair was draped softly, but her eyes kept glancing at the dark cameras with obvious uneasiness.

My breathing was a little shallower than usual.

"Sister, good morning." Yun Chu, wearing furry bunny-ear pajamas, walked out of the bedroom yawning, her long black hair still a little messy.

Yun Chu completely ignored the cameras being debugged and the slightly solemn staff on the scene. He walked naturally around the data cables on the ground and headed straight for the kitchen. His voice was nasal, just waking up, "I'm so hungry. Have you eaten?"

In sharp contrast to Luo Yunshuang's state of being on guard against a formidable enemy, Yun Chu's "home feeling" is too real and relaxed.
