In the middle of winter, the big brother carrying the sedan chair was wearing short sleeves, showing his muscular arms. He looked very strong.

Although the cold wind was blowing, he was sweating from the heat, looking very vigorous. After Lu Jingdu got into the sedan chair and sat down, the big brother yelled out, “Lift the sedan chair!”

【Lift the sedan chair.】

【The big sedan chair^[1]bridal sedan chair has been lifted up!】

【Congratulations to the movie king, who managed to get this free ride.】

【Congratulations to the movie king, who has once again succeeded in getting soft rice.】

The four bearers worked together to lift the sedan chair steadily. They counted in unison, “One, two, one, two……” But no matter how stable the shoulders of the bearers were, the people sitting inside would still feel some bumps.

The comfort of the sedan chair couldn’t compare with that of a car. However, riding in one was also a novel experience. The inside wasn’t small but it was still a bit crowded for two adults to sit in together.

The cold wind was howling outside but the temperature inside the sedan chair was comfortable. Both of them were quiet and did not speak, however, Ning Xiaoyu’s ears had never been quiet.

【Love System: Wuuwuuwuu, it’s so sweet that I’m about to suffocate. Girl, I’m so excited that I can’t breathe.】

Ning Xiaoyu said solemnly, “That’s why it’s not good to eat too much sugar. These days, many people have started to quit sweets to be healthier.”

【Love System: No, my life can barely be maintained by eating sugar.】

While Ning Xiaoyu was chatting with the love system in her head, the sedan chair had already moved quite a distance.

At this time, Ning Xiaoyu suddenly heard a lively commotion.

What’s all the fuss?

Before she could ask anything, the big brother carrying the sedan chair answered her confusion first, “Xiao Yu, do you want to come down and play?”

Ning Xiaoyu asked, “Play what?”

The big brother laughed heartily. “It’s an interactive event called ‘Throwing embroidered ball’.”

Saying so, the big brother briefly introduced it to the two. This game was similar to that played in ancient costume dramas, except that in TV, the ones catching the embroidered ball were usually either the protagonist or the main supporting characters. For this event, those who randomly receive the embroidered ball were ordinary tourists who came to sightsee.

If tourists wanted to participate, they could take the initiative to catch the embroidered ball. If they didn’t want to, they could just watch the fun from the sidelines.

In short, participate as you wish.

Ning Xiaoyu gave out an “Oh”. She wasn’t much interest in this interactive event, but this enthusiastic fan brother wanted her to watch the fun and offered, “Xiao Yu, do you want to get out of the sedan chair to join?”

The others also spoke out at this time.

“That’s right, the embroidered ball throwing event is done once a week. It starts at 2 pm every Wednesday afternoon and you happen to be just in time.”

“It’s not a bad idea to come and have a look.”

“It’s a rare encounter so you should take a look.”

Ning Xiaoyu had been in the circle for a few years and had so many fans all of a sudden. Not to mention that they were even so enthusiastic about her. She really couldn’t refuse.

Thus, she got out of the sedan chair with Lu Jingdu.

The big brother smiled brightly. “Xiao Yu, we’ll wait until the event is over. You’re going to the park later, right? Just leave it to us!”

【This big brother is really forthright!】

【I like such an enthusiastic brother! He feels so reliable!】

【Ahhh, I’m happy for Xiao Yu!】

【Laughing to death. I feel that the movie king doesn’t have much chance to show off.】

【Movie King: Can’t get a word in.jpg】

【Movie King: He’s just a tool man.】

The love system was also delighted. Its family’s girl was slowly growing up.

Not long after Ning Xiaoyu got off the sedan chair, a female fan came over with a set of red ancient style women’s clothes. “Xiao Yu, do you want to go upstairs and throw the embroidered ball?”

Ning Xiaoyu: “???”

Audience: “???”

【Throw the embroidered ball?】

【Another fan? There’s so many fans everywhere.】

【Ah, our salted fish king is really hot now! Sisters, follow me to fight together. Xiao Yu is on fire!】

【Xiao Yu is on fire!】

The big brother recognized the other person and he took the initiative to greet her, “Sister, aren’t you the actress playing the role of the embroidered ball tosser?”

The female fan smiled and said, “Yes, Big Brother. Do you know me?”

The big brother nodded his head. “Of course I do. I also work here and often watch your event when I have free time, how can I not know you?”

The smile on the female fan’s face got brighter as she chatted with the big brother for a while, then she turned to Ning Xiaoyu and said, “Xiao Yu, I’ve just spoken to the supervisor and he said that if you’re willing to do so, you can fill in for me as the leading actress today.”

Wasn’t it comfortable to sit in a sedan chair?

Why go upstairs and act as the leading actress throwing embroidered ball against the cold wind?

With a salted fish face, Ning Xiaoyu waved her hand. “No need.”

The female fan had been following 《Hi, My Friend》 and had a general understanding of Ning Xiaoyu’s character.

She knew that the salted fish king was really salty, but she also dotes on her fans.

She grabbed Ning Xiaoyu’s arm and said coquettishly, “Xiao Yu, just take my place once and throw the ball please.”

【???】

【Eh, this is seeing through our Xiao Yu’s character of being amenable to friendly persuasion but not to compulsion?】

【The salted fish king looks like she didn’t care about anything but she’s actually a good salted king that spoils her fans.】

“Xiao Yu, please? Okay?”

【Tut, tut, tut.】

【Laughing to death. Although the female fan is acting coquettishly, she surprisingly didn’t pinch her voice.】

【Which fan of Xiao Yu’s dare to pinch their voice? The last male fan who did so has already been persuaded by Xiao Yu’s strength.】

【Right, right, right, remembering that scene last time made me laugh to death.】

As the fans expected, Ning Xiaoyu, who loves her fans, did not refuse this request from the female fan. Of course, the main reason for not refusing was that the female fan added a sentence at the end, “Xiao Yu, you won’t be tired at all. You just have to throw the ball and then it’s over. It’s as simple as that.”

Thus, under the expectant gaze of the female fan and amidst the screeching of the love system, Ning Xiaoyu put on a bright red robe, and was led upstairs.

On the upper floor, her ‘landlord father’ was already waiting there with a smile on his face.

The actor playing the father role was on his middle age and has a beer belly. He really looks like a rich landowner.

As soon as she arrived, the servant dressed in a servant uniform immediately shouted to the tourists downstairs, “Today, the only daughter of my family’s Master is throwing embroidered ball to find a groom. The one who catches the ball will be my Master’s son-in-law. My Young Miss can make fishes sink and geese settle, make the moon hide and flowers blush^[2]a breathtaking beauty. She’s proficient in the four arts^[3]zither, Go, calligraphy and painting and is well-educated. Today, she’s here to find her destined person!”

The tourists cheered and said, “Okay!”

After saying that, the servant handed the embroidered ball to Ning Xiaoyu, who took and threw it downstairs casually, and left it at that.

The tourists downstairs, on the other hand, were completely excited because of this embroidered ball.

The atmosphere at the scene was completely ignited.

A male tourist jumped up to try and catch the ball but it mercilessly skipped over his hand.

【Let’s see who will be the luckiest tourist today.】

【Too funny. There’s a tourist who’s really active, so much so that his eyes are full of ferocity. It seems that he really wants to be the landlord’s son-in-law.】

【Son-in-law^[4]a son-in-law who lives in the home of his wife’s parents?】

【That’s right, in costume dramas, people use throwing embroidered balls to select a husband and those who catches it are all son-in-laws. Moreover, those who participated in this embroidered ball throwing are usually scholars from poor families who needed to rely on the money of their father-in-laws to continue the imperial examination.】

When the audience was engaged in discussing the meaning of ‘son-in-law’, a male tourist had been actively trying to grab the embroidered ball. His brows were furrowed and his eyes were fixed on the ball on the air. However, another female tourist was determined not to let the male tourist catch it.

The ball was jumping around on the heads of tourists, but no one has really been able to get it.

Seeing a female tourist downstairs who was particularly active in grabbing the embroidered ball, a servant immediately exclaimed in a loud voice, “Our Master’s son-in-law must be a man, a man ah! It won’t count if a lady grabs it.”

The female tourist turned a deaf ear as if the servant’s words were fart. All she wanted was to grab the embroidered ball.

【Another fan of Xiao Yu?】

【Seeing how hard she’s trying, I feel like her desire to get the embroidered ball is no less than that of the male tourist next to her.】

【I’m dying of laughter. It’s almost a competition between this female tourist and that male tourist.】

【It’s a pity that this is a female fan so the servant won’t recognize her.】

【It’s useless for the female fan to be so active. Even if she snatches it, the event will only be redone.】

The servant was afraid of choosing a female ‘son-in-law’, so he reminded no less than three times from upstairs that only males could participate.

Although the audience was dissatisfied, the rules have always been that way since ancient times and they could only follow it.

At this time, the competition between the male tourists and female tourists has reached the most heated stage.

Under the eyes of the gossipy audience and the other tourists who were full of interest, in the fierce competition between the male and female tourists, the female tourists ultimately excelled and snatched the embroidered ball with a victorious smile.

【Oho!】

【Hey, Sister is amazing!】

【Ahhh! Sister actually caught it! Awesome!】

【I feel sorry for Sister! Hateful!】

Just when many viewers were feeling sorry for the effort that the female fan had put in, the female fan quickly turned around and simply threw the embroidered ball into Lu Jingdu’s arms from a distance of one or two people.

She threw it with perfect accuracy and the embroidered ball landed precisely in the arms of the movie king.

【???】

【!!!】

【So, what kind of magical development is this?】

The female fan flicked off her clothes when it was over, hiding her meritorious deed.

“Hehe, I’m not only Ning Xiaoyu’s fan, but also a DuYu CP fan. Teehee, didn’t expect that, right? All of you must be surprised?”

DuYu was the CP name given by the CP fans when referring to the pairing of Lu Jingdu and Ning Xiaoyu.

This move of the female fan was something that neither the audience nor the tourists at the scene were expecting.

She worked so hard to snatch the embroidered ball that her face was distorted, her demeanor was completely lost, and her image was hurt. In the end, it wasn’t for herself, but to give the ball to Lu Jingdu?

What a touching sentiment this was!

The female fan smiled brightly. “Movie King, I’ve snatched the embroidered ball for you, so go upstairs quickly! Don’t let Xiao Yu wait too long.”

【Dang, it’s like I’m seeing myself in her.】

【As a CP fan, if I was on the scene, I would probably have laugh even more than her.】

【CP fan is really too good, too understanding and too awesome!】

【Movie King: So I don’t even have to catch the embroidered ball myself?】

【Movie King: So, Xiao Yu’s fans have thought of every aspects for me?】

【Brothers and sisters, the movie king just need to lie down and win.】

【It can only be said that our Xiao Yu and DuYu’s fans are too awesome!】

At this moment, an audience member pointed out the main point with a single sentence, 【So Movie King = Son-in-law? Not bad!】
