Chapter 260 Get Up and Sleep Again
It has to be said that there's a reason why Liu Ruyan can occasionally spout such vulgar and offensive language; it's all due to her upbringing!
Ms. Cheng is just getting old now. If she were a little younger, in the race for "Emperor Ruyan", Liu Ruyan would probably have to come in second.

Liu Ruyan won second place in the competition to imitate Liu Ruyan. How can anyone argue with that?

Seeing her mother Ms. Cheng's reaction, Liu Ruyan felt even more troubled.

Of course she knew about the fake sisterhood between her mother and Ms. Jiang. When the two families first met, their relationship was quite good. At that time, her mother was young and could even outshine her Aunt Jiang in terms of appearance, so their relationship was naturally very harmonious. This was also the source of her mother's pride over the years.

However, since a few years ago, the two families have been unable to reach an agreement because of Yuan Hua's matter, and they have gradually become estranged. But despite this, her mother and her Aunt Jiang still occasionally play cards in private, so at least their relationship is on the surface.

However, their feelings had faded considerably. In addition, Ms. Jiang's skin suddenly improved recently, making her look several years younger. This immediately broke her mother's defenses. Having clearly dominated her for a lifetime, being suddenly overtaken was unpleasant for anyone, especially for a woman like her mother who valued appearance so much.

Upon hearing this news, her mother, Ms. Cheng, felt even more upset and furious. Liu Ruyan, seeing this, was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

Shouldn't she be the one feeling bad about this? Why are you getting so worked up?
"No way, find some time to have him come over to our house. I refuse to believe that I can lose to her, no matter who I lose to, you hear me?"

"You're no good with men, but Mom will help you!" Suddenly, Ms. Cheng grabbed her daughter's hand and said, her eyes revealing determination.

She wouldn't lose face, and she wanted to have what others had, at least not let the Jiang family ride roughshod over her.

"Mom~ stop messing around. With our relationship, how can I invite him over?" Liu Ruyan rubbed her forehead, feeling exasperated about having such a mother.

Even if you are strong-willed throughout your life, you can't be strong-willed about something like this, can you?

“I don’t care, I need to see her soon. How you see her is your problem.” Ms. Cheng started to act spoiled with her daughter.

Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at her mother, somewhat reluctant to speak.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo hung up the phone, somewhat confused. Liu Ruyan called to ask him if he had gone to Miss Yuan's house today. He hadn't done anything wrong, so why was he afraid to admit it?

Before he could even ask Liu Ruyan how she knew, she hung up the phone.

"Did she plant a surveillance camera on me?"

If I can't figure it out, I'll just stop thinking about it and keep completing the tasks. With the speed boost at 3x, there are only a few episodes left.

Meanwhile, Li Shiya, who had been away from the internet for a week, returned to the live stream, and a large number of people flooded into her room as soon as she started broadcasting.

Moreover, the comments were remarkably consistent.

[Brother Hand]

Where's Brother Shou? Let him come out!

[I'm a fan of the streamer, please be considerate and give me your seat!]

Are you drawing again today? I'm here to see how fast your hand speed is.

[Hurry, it's coming out!]

The comments scrolled by, but few people cared about Li Shiya herself. Li Shiya, who originally attracted male fans with her looks, was now being attacked by a group of female fans.

"I won't be drawing today, as I'm not feeling well. However, if you'd like to have a drawing done, leave a photo in the comments section, and I'll have the one with the most likes drawn by me."

Li Shiya is already quite adept at interacting with fans by switching to her alternate account, and she's also used to being called "Brother Shou." Clearly, a lot of fans have been giving him support in the background this week.

After all, he's met even the older sister who likes to calculate by the gram, so this amount of comments is nothing to him.

Miss Yuan acted as the leader in the live stream, sending gifts and preparing to return all the money from the wealthy and split the money from the common people 30/70.

Wang was doing logistical work on the side, making the most of his time to prepare the live stream clips. After all, if it was too late, the video would be posted by netizens, and he had to finish it as quickly as possible to gain more traffic.

Two hours passed in a flash, and Chuanmei's live stream also ended. Although this live stream was more popular and had more viewers at the beginning than the last one, its popularity dwindled considerably after people learned that [Brother Shou] would not be appearing and there would be no drawing segment today.

Nevertheless, the number of viewers in the live stream is now significantly higher than before, which is quite good.

"Looks like it's not you who's popular, it's Mo Zai. Sure enough, good-looking streamers don't have as wide an audience as skilled streamers," Miss Yuan sighed, shaking her head as she saw Li Shiya come out.

Li Shiya became popular because of her looks, but apart from her appearance, she doesn't have any special talents. When she goes live, she can only sit and chat.

It might work for a short time, but over time, viewers in the live stream will get bored and leave. Simply put, it's hard to keep the audience engaged.

On the contrary, the clips of his works that he posted were quite popular because they were short and interesting.

"Of course! Who can be more popular than Lao Mo? I seriously suspect he's an internet superhuman. Even though he doesn't do self-media, he can still become popular online from time to time. Even getting stuck in traffic on his way home for the National Day holiday can make him a trending topic. He's simply a natural talent."

"Look, I'll ask him to draw a picture tomorrow to handle the traffic. Director Wang, I'm counting on you for the video clips. Try to send them out as soon as possible," the Sichuan girl sighed, then gave her instructions.

Upon hearing this, Director Wang sat in front of his computer and gave an OK sign, indicating that he was already working on it.

He was still waiting for Chuanmei to pay him his wages so he could go out for a nice meal. "Hey? When you went back this time, your family didn't find out that you, Li Shiya, were they?" Miss Yuan asked curiously.

The Sichuan girl waved her hand: "Of course not. I'm very well-behaved at home. When I meet classmates from my hometown, I don't even play on my phone in front of them. It's just that my dad thinks my hair is too long and made me cut it, saying that I'm not getting any younger and I need to pay attention to my image, otherwise it will be difficult to find a partner back home."

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan looked the Sichuan girl up and down. Apart from being the same height as her, the long face was truly beautiful. Even as a woman, she had to admit that it was hard not to be attracted to someone who looked like that.

But when it comes to Sichuan girls finding partners, she couldn't quite picture it. Li Shiya's looks—finding a girlfriend? Exciting! Finding a man? Even more exciting.

“It’s not scary that your eldest child is too young, what’s scary is that your second child is too young. As long as you don’t like men, you still have a great chance, haha!” Miss Yuan patted the Sichuan girl and laughed.

Sichuan girl:.
Lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife. Miss Yuan's words may be rough, but they are the truth.

After the live broadcast, Miss Yuan went upstairs, while Director Wang stayed overnight because he needed to edit the footage.

Soon, Lin Mo finally finished completing the prerequisite tasks and closed his eyes to experience the process.

"I don't feel anything? Do we have to wait until Wednesday?" Lin Mo wandered around the kitchen but didn't notice any changes, so he couldn't help but ask.

He completed every prerequisite task strictly according to the requirements, so he could only wait until midnight.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo forced himself to stay up late on the sofa, which was the only downside to his normal sleep schedule. He started feeling sleepy around 10 p.m.

Finally, as time went by, it was soon midnight, Wednesday. In an instant, Lin Mo felt his head go blank.

This time, the feeling was stronger than ever before. Knowledge of all kinds of cuisines, how to make each dish, and how to select ingredients all exploded in his mind.

Even his hands were trembling slightly, and it took a while for them to stop. Then he felt as if he could precisely carve patterns on any food with a kitchen knife.

After a while, Lin Mo looked at his hands, thought for a moment, and then ran to the kitchen. This time, he didn't need to follow the video to learn. As long as his hands touched the ingredients, his mind would immediately recall the various ways to cook them.

Soon, the sound of chopping vegetables could be heard from the kitchen.

Soon, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen, and an hour later, he had prepared a plate of Dongpo pork.

'grunt'

Looking at the Dongpo pork on the plate, Lin Mo swallowed hard, picked up a piece, and put it directly into his mouth without caring that it was hot.

Suddenly, an indescribable smell exploded, and Lin Mo even felt the background music of "The Great Wall" playing in his head.

He wasn't unfamiliar with Dongpo pork; in fact, he felt that no matter how skilled the chef, Dongpo pork was just a limited dish, and its flavor was bound to be limited.

But he then realized how terribly wrong he was. The skill "Wednesday Chef" meant that if one could become a chef, one could naturally break the rules.

Aside from not shining like in MasterChef, Lin Mo felt like he had truly become a culinary god.

After just one bite, Lin Mo knew that his plan to open a restaurant was secure; the taste was good enough for him to run a high-end private restaurant.

After quickly finishing the piece of meat, Lin Mo hurriedly put on his shoes, went downstairs, and headed straight for Miss Yuan's house.

'Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!'

"Sister Yuan, wake up, open the door quickly!"

Lin Mo entered the password and knocked on Miss Yuan's bedroom door. Luckily, he had the password for the living room door; otherwise, with good soundproofing, Miss Yuan might not have been able to hear him.

Soon, Miss Yuan, wearing Squirtle pajamas, opened the door, rubbing her eyes, and said with a gloomy expression, "If you don't give me a reason, I'll make you a scumbag today."

Even among young people, not everyone can stay up until 1:30 a.m.

"Great news! Come downstairs to my place, there's a surprise!"

As he spoke, Lin Mo pulled Miss Yuan straight downstairs to Chuan Mei's apartment. He entered the same password and opened the door directly. Lin Mo was not so polite to Chuan Mei.

He pushed open the bedroom door, walked straight to Chuanmei's bedside, and patted her face.

"Ugh... Holy crap, what are you doing?!"

The girl from Sichuan was still a little groggy when she was woken up, but when she suddenly saw someone next to her bed, she almost wet his diaper. Who wouldn't be scared if they saw that at night?

But the next second, Lin Mo's words filled him with utter despair: "It's okay, get up and go back to sleep!"

Sichuan girl:? ? ?
"are you crazy!"
