For a homebody like Xu Lin, these days, the young lady and live streaming are all he needs.
Some people say it only takes 21 days to form a habit, but Xu Lin only realized this after experiencing it firsthand.
Habits are formed gradually and imperceptibly, like flowing water slowly seeping into your life. One day, when you look back, you realize that you have been living this way for a long time without even realizing it.
This is what habit and liking are all about.
Xu Lin got up and turned on his computer.
Looking at the row of games in her game library, she didn't know which one she wanted to play. Most of the games were bought on sale and never touched again. In fact, she only played a few games regularly.
But now she's long past the age of going straight to the computer after school and ignoring her mom's nagging. For her now, games are just a pastime when she's bored and a tool to connect with friends.
"Ugh, so boring!"
Xu Lin lay back in the gaming chair and let out a howl like a salted fish.
I felt a bit like smoking, but then I remembered how I used to want to buy a pack when I went to the supermarket with Xu Youyue, but she stopped me.
I dug out the pack of Nanjing cigarettes that I had secretly hidden under my bed, but when I took it out, I was both amused and exasperated to find that the pack was still unopened. It was a complete waste of money.
People say that smoking is a habit, so it's helpful to suck on a piece of candy when you're trying to quit. But Xu Lin really rarely eats candy, if you really want to.
Perhaps Xu Youyue is her sweetheart.
After thinking it over, Xu Lin decided that since he had already quit, it was better not to pick it up again. He put the pack of cigarettes back in his hand, went to the kitchen, picked out a cocktail for himself, and took a sip.
Two more blocks of ice were added.
The ice cubes made a crisp sound as they hit the rim of the glass, which was particularly noticeable in the empty room.
She thought she had gotten used to living alone after three years, but then she bitterly realized that she seemed unable to escape the trap that girl had woven for her.
However, she willingly succumbed to it.
Nike suddenly got up and meowed at Xu Lin's feet.
In the distance, another little creature lay on the sofa, raised its head, and looked at her with its big, watery eyes.
Xu Lin then remembered that it was time to feed the two little ones.
He picked up the cat food bowl, poured the food for the two cats, added some water, and listened to the two cats howling and chewing the food. Only then did Xu Lin come back to his senses, realizing that the house now had a bit of life in it.
It's only for one day anyway, and it's kind of embarrassing to be so anxious and uncertain like this...
The white-haired girl lay on the sofa and chuckled self-deprecatingly, deciding to go out for a walk anyway.
Otherwise, just lying there like this would be too boring.
I changed my clothes and went out of the house.
It's strange, but even at home I don't want to look at my phone at all, but once I go out I become a screen addict, laughing uncontrollably at the silly messages shared in the captain's group chat.
That's really weird.
Perhaps this is what makes people sentimental.
Putting his phone back in his pocket, Xu Lin looked at the lush trees around him and slowly made his way forward.
"It's good to get some fresh air once in a while?"
Xu Lin muttered to himself in confusion.
Today is a workday, and apart from idle people like her, there are only some elderly people bringing their grandchildren out to bask in the sun. There are also a few old men playing chess in the nearby pavilions.
Xu Lin curiously leaned over to take a look for a while.
But the old men teased him, asking why he wasn't going to school.
Xu Lin was a little embarrassed, but he still simply said that he was already working and that today was a day off, which drew surprised looks from the elderly people around him.
Two elderly men were muttering about how young children are these days, already working and supporting themselves at such a young age.
Xu Lin chuckled awkwardly a couple of times and then slipped away.
She hasn't really graduated yet; it's just summer vacation. But she probably can't go back to school. The contract her boss gave her is a proper employment contract, so it doesn't really matter if she's already working.
Anyway, she'll eventually go back to inherit the family business, so whether she has a graduation certificate or not isn't that important.
Finally, Xu Lin went to the supermarket, bought some snacks, and went home. He then asked for two anime series from the QQ group and started watching them.
Pet the cat, eat a few bags of potato chips, and then take a sip of cola.
Xu Lin watched his anime series on the projector TV in the living room, just like watching a movie.
It actually has that home theater feel to it.
The young lady in the middle also sent her several photos via WeChat, showing the sumptuous lunch her mother had prepared for her.
It must have been a beauty camera app used; the dishes in the photo looked delicious and appetizing, and the young lady even said a few boastful things.
Xu Lin glanced at the bag of snacks beside him, feeling a little envious, but too lazy to move.
I ate snacks for lunch.
At 7 p.m., even though there was still half an hour until the scheduled time, Xu Lin, who was bored to death, couldn't wait to open the live stream and greet the viewers.
"Hello everyone, good evening. This is Wakaba."
Only then did Xu Lin feel like his usual daily routine had returned.
The audience greeted him warmly, and even though he arrived half an hour early, there were still quite a few people there.
【Good evening!】
Good evening, Wakaba!
A string of "good evening" messages instantly boosted the popularity of her live stream. After thinking for a moment, she spoke.
"So, today is the usual end-of-month concert. I've prepared about ten songs. I'll pick the remaining five songs from the comments section, if I know how to sing them."
"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's get started!"
Chapter 91, Section 92: Even the End-of-Month Song Has to Be Lively!
Xu Lin's songs are generally quite serious.
Note that this is a general statement.
In the past, she would sing classic old songs for audiences of similar age, including anime songs and old Chinese songs. She would also accept song requests.
But Xu Lin's condition today is clearly not typical.
"Speaking of which, today is supposed to be a song celebration, but I haven't really thought about what songs I'm going to sing. I feel like I've sung all the songs I usually sing for everyone a lot of times."
Xu Lin did prepare a song list yesterday, but when he looked at it before going on air today, apart from one new song that he had deliberately left out, he had sung the others at least twice.
She felt it wouldn't work, so she wanted to make some temporary adjustments.
As long as it sounds good, that's enough.
[Wakaba's songs are such a childhood memory, I still really like them.]
It's okay, we like it.
However, the audience doesn't think so. So-called classic old songs are songs that people can listen to on repeat without getting tired of them. It seems that there are very few people who particularly like singing old songs from the 80s and 90s and have good singing skills. So Xu Lin's songs have always been quite popular.
Xu Lin has only been in the industry for a short time, how could we possibly get tired of hearing about him?
However, Lin Ge said, "I don't care what you think, I care what I think."
"So let's do something new this time. Haven't people been requesting 'Katyusha' a lot? Well, I'll sing it for you today!"
【Ohhhhhh!】
【Hurrah!】
However, dds are such shameless creatures. Just a moment ago they were saying they never got tired of listening to it, but now that Xu Lin says he's going to sing "Katyusha," they immediately change their minds and start cheering.
That's quite realistic too.
"You guys..."
Xu Lin chuckled and shook his head, but kept playing the accompaniment he had prepared beforehand.
[Suddenly, I feel a surge of energy!]
【Waaaaah!!】
"Buy four radishes, chop them up, and mince them!"
Xu Lin's trilled 'r' sounds are quite good. Combined with her naturally pleasant voice, the song she sings is indeed very nice. But, how should I put it, isn't her Russian a bit strange?
"Just add four pieces of tofu and you'll be bubbling away!"
【Wahaha, are you singing about gods and demons?】
[Is this Russian? I'm dumbfounded.]
[Hahahaha, this misheard 'phonetic' is hilarious!]
"If you don't have Sichuan peppercorns or star anise, just add a few drops of vinegar."
It wasn't until this line that the audience realized why Xu Lin's singing sounded a bit strange.
So this person isn't singing Russian at all! Isn't this just the lyrics from that skit on the 04 Spring Festival Gala?!
[lol]
[Ruoye-ge really knows how to create hilarious moments, I'm impressed!]
[Hahahaha, what are you watching all day, Ruoye-ge? Hahaha!]
"Let's drink it all, even though it's sour!"
"Sour? No way! It's junk! Let's drink it together!"
After forcing himself to finish singing, Xu Lin burst into laughter.
He paused for a while before speaking.
"When it comes to sketch comedy and crosstalk, the old jokes are still the most classic. This one with misheard lyrics, has anyone heard it before? Raise your hand."
