Chapter 953: Pulling Up the Turnip

"Wrong, wrong, I take it back."

Everyone raised their drinks in front of them and all stood up cheering.

After eating and drinking their fill, they sat together chatting.

This time Ning Chen taking part in a singing competition was honestly not something they had imagined.

They had assumed Ning Chen would just keep driving the RV around the world.

They never expected that this time he would actually expose himself to the public eye.

"The road of being a singer is especially hard, but I believe you will definitely succeed."

Zhang Yixing suddenly said to Ning Chen in all seriousness.

Hearing his words, Ning Chen also nodded.

To tell the truth, he was only following the system's tasks; there was nothing for him to pay special attention to.

Lin Yi, sitting off to one side, was carefully watching in that direction.

Ever since Ning Chen joined the singing competition, he had always felt a certain pressure.

Being around him no longer felt as easy as before.

It wasn't because of anything else, but because Ning Chen was now exposed to the public eye.

Countless people wanted to find something on Ning Chen.

So every single day one had to be careful in word and deed, keeping in mind what should be said and what should not.

This was nothing like how he used to be—laughing when he wanted to laugh, crying when he wanted to cry.

Seeming to notice Lin Yi lost in thought,

Ning Chen also looked over in that direction.

"What's wrong?"

Facing Ning Chen's question, Lin Yi shook his head in a fluster.

"Nothing, nothing, just suddenly thought of something."

Noticing Lin Yi's reaction, Ning Chen could only nod.

After chatting for a long while, they each finally went back to their rooms.

And Ning Chen and Lin Yi also returned to their familiar spots.

One had to admit, Mushroom House always gave them a feeling of home.

Although they couldn't become regular guests, coming back every few days wasn't bad either.

【I keep feeling this kid Lin Yi's mood isn't great.】

【Yeah, ever since Ning Chen joined the competition, his mood has been a bit low.】

【Maybe he's become more deep, not as chatty as before.】

【That much is true—after all, Lin Yi is going to become Ning Chen's manager, so he'll definitely overcome every difficulty.】

At this moment Ning Chen lay on the bed and also looked over toward Lin Yi.

"Your mood isn't good today."

Facing Ning Chen's question, Lin Yi also sat up in a fluster.

"I'm fine! Just feels not as relaxed as before, probably because now every day we live under other people's cameras."

Lin Yi spoke his true feelings, and only then did Ning Chen realize that for quite a long while Lin Yi had been somewhat unhappy.

"These days won't last too long, don't worry."

Hmm?

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Lin Yi was somewhat puzzled.

"Why do you say that? Aren't you about to enter the entertainment industry next?"

Once you enter the entertainment industry, you're basically living within everyone's line of sight.

Especially now, Ning Chen could be said to be deeply loved by everyone.

For a time he was also at the height of his fame.

So in the days ahead he would only get more and more popular.

Ning Chen waved his hand—some things, once spoken, seemed to affect one's mood.

So he couldn't help but keep them to himself.

The two of them fell into a deep sleep.

These past few days, honestly, were much more tiring than those dangerous missions from before.

After all, every day they dealt with people.

Setting aside their thoughts, the things they did also made one feel baffled.

If there were any other option, no one would want to keep dealing with people of ill intent.

A dreamless night.

When he woke again, the room was already filled with the aroma of food.

It couldn't help but give Ning Chen a huge appetite.

"Time to get up—Teacher San Lei has probably already made breakfast."

Coming back so suddenly still felt a bit unfamiliar; Ning Chen had originally planned to get up with Teacher San Lei and make breakfast together.

He hadn't expected to sleep straight through until now.

"Oh my, why are you up so early? Why don't you sleep a bit more."

Ning Chen shook his head—he had slept very well by now.

Before, he basically only slept two or three hours at night before having to get up, especially during that stretch at the hotel.

"Teacher San Lei, what delicious things have you made?"

Hearing Ning Chen's inquiry, Teacher San Lei opened the lid of what was currently boiling in the pot.

It was fried sauce that had been simmered.

The moment he saw this fried sauce, Ning Chen also guessed what they would be eating today.

Following that, the people from the Mushroom House came down one after another.

The group sat at the table, ravenous.

Ning Chen helped serve the noodles bowl by bowl, and at the same time, the fried sauce was brought up.

Besides that, some sweet soup was also made.

Four side dishes were also prepared.

"Teacher San Lei, you must have gotten up very early to make so much."

Hearing Ning Chen's inquiry, Teacher San Lei also smiled.
