Chapter 150

Although there were only two of them, the necessary New Year’s goods still had to be bought.

How could one celebrate the New Year without the festive atmosphere?

The main focus was on buying food.

They bought up all the expensive ingredients and snacks they usually couldn't bear to purchase.

In her past life, or rather, their past life, she was a very independent person; cooking was second nature to her.

Very quickly.

The table was filled with a feast.

To celebrate the New Year, they had specifically bought a bottle of Romanée-Conti.

It was the cheapest option, priced at around 30,000 yuan, and for that, their hearts ached for quite a while.

But after half a year of hard work, rewarding themselves was justifiable.

"Come, Mingyue, this is your red envelope."

The elder sister, Xu Youyue, pulled a bright red envelope with the words "Wishing You Prosperity" written on it from her bosom and handed it to her younger sister, Xu Mingyue.

The envelope contained 888 yuan, symbolizing endless wealth.

"Sister, this is yours." The younger sister also pulled a red envelope from her bosom; the amount inside was the same.

The sisters each took their red envelopes, exchanged a glance, and smiled sweetly.

Truth be told, it was all just a girl with one soul and two bodies putting on a performance for herself, but the sense of ritual was still necessary.

... .... 0

Furthermore.

Today was their birthday.

After today, they would be nineteen.

"Ding-dong."

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Youyue and Mingyue were stunned; at this hour, no one should be visiting.

The sisters walked to the door on their long legs, only to find the hallway outside completely empty.

However, they weren't worried about encountering any criminals.

With their current combat power, they could certainly send any criminal to the police station to spend the New Year.

They opened the door to look.

Instead, they saw Yang Mi, Lin Yan, Sister Reba, Zhang Zhang Yunlong, Wang Wang Yijin, Zhu Zhu Xudan, Xia Yan... all of them squatting on the ground.

They were carrying things in their hands.

Some held red wine, some held cakes, some held fresh flowers, some carried ingredients...

"Surprise."

"Princesses!"

"Happy birthday!"

"Happy New Year!"

Everyone stood up, faces full of smiles, and said in unison.

The sisters blinked. Their first thought was: *Are these guys here to freeload a meal? My Australian lobster, my heart aches.*

Their second thought was: *I am touched.*

……

The next morning.

Youyue and Mingyue headed out to CCTV.

New Year's Eve had arrived.

Tonight, the Spring Festival Gala would be broadcast.

Like the galas of previous years, this year's gala adopted a live broadcast format.

This placed high demands on the stars, meaning not a single mistake could be made; one slip-up and it would be a disaster.

Moreover, there were troublemakers on the internet who loved to edit compilations of gala failures to grab attention.

This meant that with the slightest carelessness, one would become the laughingstock of the entire internet.

This was one of the reasons why many stars chose to lip-sync on the gala stage.

Lip-syncing was safe; not making mistakes was as good as winning.

CCTV backstage.

At this very moment.

It could be said that the stars were gathered in abundance.

From the music industry, the film and television circles, the national team, the sports world... there were celebrities from every walk of life.

Everyone was busy.

Some were adjusting their state of mind, others were applying makeup...

However.

When two beautiful moons entered the CCTV building, many people's gazes were inevitably drawn to them.

They were born extremely beautiful, with angelic faces and devilish figures... and now, added to their charm talent, they instantly caused a critical hit to the eyes, becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

Even among a crowd of female celebrities, they were the most outstanding.

"Is that You Mingyue?"

"So beautiful."

"I'm in love."

"I hate that I'm already married."

"Their temperament is absolutely stunning!"

"..."

Many men swallowed their saliva, and even many women were the same.

Su Xue was among them, staring blankly at the twins walking down the corridor hand-in-hand, their long legs moving, their elegance peerless.

Although she didn't want to admit it.

She knew in her heart that she had been turned.

"Sisters, you're killing me!"

A certain singing diva shouted in her heart.

The Chinese people place great importance on tradition.

Although the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival is becoming increasingly faint, every year, as long as they can, people choose to go home for the New Year.

And when eating the reunion dinner, watching the Spring Festival Gala is an indispensable program.

Even those who cannot go home and overseas Chinese are no exception.

In the Spring Festival Gala, they can taste the flavor of home, the flavor of reunion, and receive some spiritual comfort.

The New Year's Eve Gala generally starts at eight o'clock in the evening.

Tonight, before eight o'clock had even arrived, a large number of viewers across the country were already sitting in front of their televisions, preparing to watch the Gala.

Unlike the New Year's Eve countdown parties, where viewers had many choices—some choosing CCTV, others choosing Mango TV or Zhejiang TV, etc.

On New Year's Eve, only the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stands alone at the top.

Although other satellite channels also prepare their own galas, they all avoid New Year's Eve.

They do not choose to go head-to-head with CCTV.

On this night, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is invincible.

Looking at the entire Blue Star, it is the same.

With over a billion people worldwide watching one program, how terrifying is the viewership rating?

—It is unimaginable!

However.

Within the Spring Festival Gala, there is also competition.

Every year after the Gala ends, CCTV releases the viewership rankings for the programs.

Programs that rank high on the list not only mean high viewership during the Gala, but also gain more online attention and popularity after it ends!

This has become a battlefield for celebrities!

Getting the number one spot in the Spring Festival Gala viewership rankings has become their goal!

Performers of songs, dances, language programs, poetry, sketches, and crosstalk are all putting in their best effort, wanting to achieve a good ranking.

But...

They face two great enemies.

You Mingyue!

Inside the studio, the sisters were seen wearing blue-and-white porcelain-style Hanfu, sitting obediently on chairs waiting.

"Perform the sketch well this time; that song they're doing at the end is a bit formidable!" Not far away, the actors performing the sketch whispered to each other.

"Wish? I wonder if my magic act can compare to your viewership ratings." Liu Qian looked at the backs of the two young girls, a sharp glint flickering in his eyes.

"The song category is a bit fierce this time!" A veteran crosstalk actor of the Spring Festival Gala frowned.

Beside him, his old partner nodded with a solemn expression: "These two little girls are indeed formidable. During the earlier rehearsals, I heard their new song, and it made me cry."

"..."

Xu Youyue and Xu Mingyue seemed unaware of the surrounding discussions.

Beside them, Su Xue chatted with them from time to time; looking at the situation, it seemed like Su Xue was the one finding topics.

And at the front desk.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"

Exactly eight o'clock in the evening.

The CCTV Spring Festival Gala officially began!

For the participating guests, the viewership war also started at the same time.

Penguin Video.

Spring Festival Gala live streaming page.

As soon as the Gala started, the barrage in the live stream began to sweep across instantly.

"It's here!"

"Checking in from the front row!"

"Here for the Sect Leader!"

"Here for Su Xue!"

"Here for Kun Kun... forget it, let's bury him."

"Hey, is the opening this year a video? Interesting."

"..."

The barrage scrolled rapidly.

The very beginning of this year's Gala was not the usual host introduction, but a video.

Many participating guests used various life scenes to sing while wishing the audience a Happy New Year.

Just from the start, the festive atmosphere was maxed out.

In this.

There were also the figures of the young girls.

When the scene appeared of them wearing festive red coats, with sweet smiles on their faces, walking down the street hand-in-hand while singing.

The audience became excited.

"Ahhhhh, the Sect Leader is above!"

"Did you see that, my wives!"

"You dog thief, draw your sword!"

"The Gu King young lady is truly too beautiful! Such a great figure!"

"I just suffered a hundred million points of beauty damage!"

"Does anyone have any objections to saying they are the ceiling of beauty for the Spring Festival Gala?"

"Let go of that girl, let me do it."

"Which one are you talking about?"

"I want them all!"

"I wonder if we can hear their new song tonight?"

"I'm already very happy just to see them!"

"..."

The barrage filled the screen.

From the amount of barrage when each celebrity appeared, one could roughly tell how high their popularity was.

Without a doubt, Xu Youyue and Xu Mingyue belonged to the tier with the highest popularity.

Immediately after.

The New Year's greeting video ended.

The camera switched to the Spring Festival Gala stage.

The opening was a grand reunion dance.

A joyful atmosphere filled the studio.

On stage, they sang and danced; off stage, the audience wished each other a Happy New Year.

The performing guests also had seats to watch off-stage; they were also part of the Gala audience, and only when they were about to go on stage would they get up to go backstage to prepare.

When Xu Youyue and Xu Mingyue appeared on camera, they smiled and waved at the lens.

The audience saw the performance outfits they were wearing today.

In an instant.

Some were happy, some were disappointed.

"Ahhhhh, my wives looked at me!"

"So big, I'm just going to call them mommies!!"

"Get lost, they're only nineteen, how could they have a son as old as you?"

"Protecting the Sect Leader's smile, I'll start with myself."

"Saying it a billion more times, my wives are too beautiful."

"This is blue-and-white porcelain-style Hanfu... the song they are going to sing is 'Blue and White Porcelain'."

"Not a new song?"

"Not black silk stockings?"

"Someone, drag the one who mentioned black silk out."

"I won't be picky, I like whatever song they sing!"

"'Blue and White Porcelain' is the best! If you don't like it, you can change the channel."

"...Are you fooling an idiot? The other channels are also the CCTV Spring Festival Gala!"

"I've already prepared to get pregnant, husbands, come on!"

"..."

"Can you even drive on this broken road?"

"..."

Soon.

The Gala was halfway through, reaching ten o'clock at night.

Many viewers were yawning, while many others were playing mahjong or drinking; the Gala had become their background music.

"The Spring Festival Gala is going downhill; each year is worse than the last."

"The crosstalk and sketches are quite funny, Liu Qian's magic is also not bad, and the dance category has some highlights, but the song category is hard to describe... it's obviously fake; basically, they are all lip-syncing. It sounds boring, those singers are just matching their lips."

"How can you tell?"

"Look at their lip movements, and the breathing sounds. They sing too perfectly; real singing can't be this perfect! Also, look at whether they are wearing earpieces. Eighty percent of those wearing earpieces are singing for real!"
