Chapter 20
In Jiang Yan's eyes, Fu Yan gave off the impression of being outwardly aggressive, but inwardly a pure beauty. Oh, and now he was her boyfriend.
He couldn't let her be in danger.
Fu Yan immediately started tracking Jiang Yan's location. It was actually very easy to find, as Jiang Yan had previously revealed her general location to her fans during a live stream, and live streaming platforms would have specific information.
Fortunately, they were just overly worried, as Jiang Yan soon returned with delicious braised chestnuts and sausage rice.
["If you hadn't come back soon, I would have been scared to death."]
["I had already entered the first three digits, ready to dial out at any time."]
["Today's marketing account has a new topic."]
["Shocking, thousands of fans worried for the safety of a certain streamer who went out for takeout!"]
["Why do weird things always happen to Sister Jiang?"]
The large, orange-yellow chestnut kernels with a sweet and soft texture, the white and red salty and fragrant cured sausage slices, the tender and crisp mushroom slices, the carrot cubes and green onion rings for color, accompanied by the sauce-colored grains of rice - it was absolutely delicious.
"Have you had your meal, my precious babies?" Jiang Yan asked her fans while noticing that Fu Yan was still live streaming. She turned to him, "Fu Yan? Why haven't you gone to eat yet?"
"I want to eat from your bowl," Fu Yan said gloomily, having been ignored all morning and just realizing he was starving.
As soon as he spoke, Jiang Yan suddenly remembered the reason why she hadn't communicated with him, and her face froze. The fans' concern had initially distracted her attention, causing her to forget about this issue, but now she recalled it again.
As an adult, one must learn to find a way out for oneself. Jiang Yan reluctantly took a bite of rice and said dryly, "My bowl has braised chestnuts and sausage rice. Shall I order some takeout for you?"
Jiang Yan originally thought Fu Yan would refuse, since the process was quite troublesome.
But Fu Yan, his expression unchanged, simply said, "Sure," and swiftly sent his address and other information to Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan tried to probe the system: "Have you noticed that the world's characters seem a bit off again?"
"You mean Fu Yan's proactive behavior? From my analysis, he's only testing you, to see if you'll change your attitude because of his address," the system reasoned.
Jiang Yan felt it made a lot of sense, because the address was from a well-known villa district.
"It's possible that they can't deliver that far. Let me try," she told him.
Fu Yan patiently indicated that he was in no hurry.
Jiang Yan called and asked, and coincidentally, that location was at the furthest delivery distance, but they could still deliver there.
Jiang Yan suddenly realized how close she was to Fu Yan. But since she had made the call on camera, she could only keep a straight face and tell Fu Yan that it would be there shortly.
Fu Yan raised an eyebrow, sounding surprised, "They can actually deliver that far? Darling, are we quite close to each other?"
Jiang Yan didn't want him to know, so she said with difficulty, "Not really, your place is already the furthest distance they can deliver to."
When the takeout arrived, Fu Yan brought it back and smiled warmly at Jiang Yan, "This is the first time I've had takeout ordered by my girlfriend."
Jiang Yan disposed of the trash and said slowly, "Eat slowly, I'll work on the video first."
["I always have a vague feeling that Mr. Fu is the clingy one, you know."]
["I agree, he's like a deep and devoted puppy dog."]
["Don't you all remember Mr. Fu's arrogant past?"]
["Wow, that feels like such a long time ago, and now I kind of miss it."]
["Speaking of which, Mr. Fu has only known Jiang Yan for a few days, do you really think they'll end up together?"]
["Sorry, but they're already together, you blind sister."]
["Jiang Yan isn't even worthy, all her fans only came because of Mr. Fu, right?"]
...
The fans in the live stream suddenly started quarreling. But it was because Fu Yan's fans had held back for too long and could no longer contain themselves, with one wrong comment triggering their pent-up frustrations from the past few days.
These people were only a small portion of Fu Yan's fans, but since Fu Yan had a large fan base, this small number seemed like a huge crowd.
And what they were arguing about was nothing more than Jiang Yan's status in Fu Yan's heart, as well as Jiang Yan's own capabilities.
Jiang Yan herself didn't care much about such things, as she had determined that events in the task world were false, and completing various tasks was merely to placate the system and prove her own speculation.
So, even when she saw those negative comments, she simply ignored them.
But this was different for Fu Yan.
Unlike ordinary live streamers, his live streams were just a way to pass the time for fun, and those fans who fawned over him because of his status and appearance had no value.
But Jiang Yan had something he wanted to investigate, not to mention her current status as his girlfriend.
So, Fu Yan casually glanced at the comments and directly called out the head moderator in Jiang Yan's live stream: "Manage it, ban anyone who can't speak properly."
The head moderator, having received orders from the platform's precious golden master, swiftly banned the offenders, while also notifying other colleagues to watch out for comments involving Lu Shushu.
These moderators had to follow the wind direction. Their management approach had to be flexible, neither too strict nor too lax.
Jiang Yan glanced at their actions, not too invested, and held a giveaway to express her thanks.
Fu Yan, with his legs crossed, really liked her calm and composed demeanor, and responded with equal indifference, "Consider it repayment for your takeout."
Before ending her live stream, Jiang Yan finally finished editing the video. She uploaded it to the account Lu Shushu had applied for.
However, fearing a repeat of the earlier incident with people causing trouble in the comments, Jiang Yan didn't announce the account to her fans.
Of course, she could only hide it for so long. Because Jiang Yan had also live streamed from the kitchen, her fans would eventually notice the discrepancy and dig out the account.
Jiang Yan's daily routine was chatting, editing videos, or eating during live streams – she was simply unwilling to properly live stream.
Surprisingly, Lu Shushu, who was originally meant to be serendipitously discovered and cast in a future role, received an invitation because of this food blogger's account.
That evening, Lu Shushu excitedly and shyly told Jiang Yan about her childhood dream of appearing on television.
Jiang Yan had initially been worried that she might refuse, as Lu Shushu had seemed a bit reserved when Jiang Yan filmed her earlier.
Lu Shushu smiled brightly and said, "That's because we're such good friends. But when there's no one I know around, I won't be afraid at all!"
Very good, she had the aura of a female lead.
Next, Lu Shushu would shine and excel on set, and go through the plot of meeting, knowing, recognizing, and falling in love with her childhood sweetheart, the famous actor.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yan's only remaining task was: [Propose the idea of publicity stunt to Fu Yan.]
At the time, Jiang Yan was quite puzzled and asked the system, "Is that it? There's no task about being dumped by Fu Yan or being criticized by the entire internet?"
