Wei Zilin had a high tolerance for Xu Moyan. He smiled as he watched Xu Moyan make a fuss. It was as if he had suddenly become a three-year-old child.
Wei Zilin raised his hand, wanting to kiss her hand. But when he got closer and sniffed, he asked curiously, "What's that smell?"
Xu Moyan lowered her head and sniffed as well. She blushed and said awkwardly, "Why … is it a little smelly?"
Old Master Wei, who was about to enter the house, stopped. He turned around and chuckled. "Because I usually water them with natural fertilizer."
With that, he entered the house with his hands behind his back.
Xu Moyan and Wei Zilin froze. Their expressions were complicated.
Natural fertilizer … wasn't that sh * t?
Xu Moyan said apologetically, "Sorry, I didn't know."
She wanted to let go but Wei Zilin grabbed her hand tightly. "It's all stained anyway. It's fine."
He paused and asked, "Didn't you wear gloves?"
"It's not comfortable to wear gloves when plucking vegetables. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to control my strength and hurt the vegetables, so I took them off," Xu Moyan explained. "Grandpa, you didn't even remind me."
"Who told you to help Old Master bully me? Now you know who treats you the best," Wei Zilin said proudly.
Xu Moyan: "…"
The two went to the bathroom and washed their hands many times. Luckily, Xu Moyan focused on plucking vegetables and didn't touch the soil, so the smell wasn't too strong.
It was just a psychological effect. She felt that there was still some, so she washed her hands a few times before she felt that it was enough.
After washing, the auntie had just finished preparing breakfast. The youtiao and pancakes on the table were bought, and the porridge was home-made.
Jian Muhua was from G City and had been in B City for many years. She often missed the food in G City, so Old Master Wei found an auntie from G City who was especially good at cooking soup and porridge. She was cooking the famous boat porridge in G City this morning. This porridge was troublesome to cook, and no one knew what time the auntie woke up to cook it.
Dried scallops were added to the porridge, and the soft glutinous rice was mixed with snow-white fish slices. The fish slices were taken from grass carp, and the bones were carefully removed before being put into the pot. The grass carp slices were soaked in salt, cooking wine, and pepper water to remove the fishy smell. The snow-white and tender meat was mixed with the white rice. It was somewhat indistinguishable, making the porridge soup as thick and white as milk. The fried peanuts were fragrant and crispy. The fried dough sticks were cut into small pieces and re-fried. They were crispy inside and out. Even if they were soaked in the porridge, they would not soften. They floated on the surface of the porridge along with the peanuts and chives.
The fried rice flour was fragrant and crispy. She sprinkled it on the fried dough sticks, sprinkled shredded beef around it, and finally dripped two drops of sesame oil into the porridge.
Before they started eating, Xu Moyan couldn't help but salivate when she smelled the aroma.
He took out his phone and took a picture of the porridge.
After Old Man Wei sat down, they started eating breakfast together.
After they finished eating, Old Man Wei dragged Jian Muhua out for a walk after the meal.
Xu Moyan posted the picture of the boat porridge on Weibo and wrote, "I haven't posted a video of cooking for a long time. This morning, I ate the authentic boat porridge from G City. The auntie is from G City, and she put in a lot of effort. It's even better than the one I had when I was on a business trip to G City. I'll ask for the detailed recipe and try it at home. If it succeeds, I'll take a picture for you to see."
"We're just watching. Yu Linling the Goddess is the one who's lucky."
"I've eaten boat porridge in G City before, and I think it's delicious. I searched for recipes when I came back, but it was too troublesome, so I gave up. OTL."
Wei Zilin didn't let go of the chance to show off on Weibo. He reposted Xu Moyan's Weibo and wrote, "I'll let you guys know after I eat it."
"The goddess is feeding us dog food again. Run!"
Xu Moyan saw it and laughed.
It seemed that after she got together with Wei Zilin, the fans became more lively than before.
It seemed that after the Mo Xiaoqing incident, the fans of the two families started to interact. They visited each other every day and commented on their Weibo. They were so good that they almost became fans of the same family.
The two stayed there until the afternoon. They received a call from Nan Jingheng, who asked them to go to KTV. Wei Ziqi and the others were going too.
Xu Moyan immediately knew that it was because of the Slaughter Online theme song.
Since they would go to the recording studio to embarrass themselves sooner or later, Xu Moyan agreed.
Because they had to work tomorrow, Jian Muhua didn't ask them to stay.
When they left, Old Man Wei didn't forget to remind them, "Hurry up and settle the meeting with the in-laws. The sooner the better."
Wei Zilin was more enthusiastic about this than Old Man Wei, so he agreed immediately.
The two went back to Weiyang Garden to change before going to KTV.
It was rare for Lin Chu, who had been busy taking care of the child ever since she gave birth, to come with Yan Beicheng.
Yan Beicheng gave them two invitations. "Next month, we'll have our wedding."
"We want to invite you to be our groomsmen and bridesmaids," Lin Chu said. "I think there's no one more suitable than you two."
"I've never been one before. Will it work?" Xu Moyan asked uncertainly.
"Sure, of course. Among the single people, I only have you and Yuntong as friends. If I ask Yuntong to be my bridesmaid, I'm afraid Assistant Shen won't be happy. Zilin is also Beicheng's good friend. You two are the most suitable, "Lin Chu said.
In a wedding, the groomsmen and bridesmaids were the easiest to play with. If it was Zheng Yuntong and Wei Zilin …
Xu Moyan could imagine Shen Zongyi's dark face.
"Sure." Xu Moyan smiled and agreed. Then, she looked at Wei Zilin.
Wei Zilin touched her hair. "Since you've already agreed, I'll definitely agree."
Nan Jingheng, who was picking songs at the side, abandoned the song machine and ran over. "When the time comes, the theme song should be released. Sing a love song at the wedding too."
"It can be released next month?" Xu Moyan asked in surprise.
"Yes, I've contacted the lyricist and composer. The song will be released tomorrow. I'll get someone to record it for you to learn. Are you guys free next weekend? I've arranged a recording studio. Let's go record the song, "Nan Jingheng said." If it goes smoothly, we can finish recording in a day. "
Wei Zilin thought for a moment and said, "I can. What about you?"
He was asking Xu Moyan. Xu Moyan nodded. "I'm free this weekend."
Thus, they decided to record the song on the weekend.
The recording was smoother than Xu Moyan had imagined. On Monday, Nan Jingheng had very efficiently passed the lyrics and the accompanying demo to Wei Zilin. He also let the composer sing it once.
The composer was a man. His voice was average, but his singing wasn't out of tune. Thus, Xu Moyan wore headphones and slowly learned, correcting each line. She also tried singing along with the accompaniment without the original singer.
Her voice was nice, so even if it was out of tune, the song was still very easy to listen to. Also, the composer had considered the fact that she was tone-deaf and didn't add in any singing techniques. She didn't need to change the pitch, she didn't need to raise the pitch, and she didn't even need to drag the ending note. She just needed to remember the key and she could sing it well.
Just as Nan Jingheng said, the key was easy to remember and had the style of a game song. It was also very old-fashioned.
After repeated practice, there were only a few notes that she didn't grasp correctly. As for the part where she sang with Wei Zilin, because Wei Zilin sang very well and could drive her, it was the part where she sang the best.
Xu Moyan practiced the few notes that she couldn't grasp repeatedly, but there were still times when she could only care about this and not that.
On Saturday, the two of them went to the recording studio together. Nan Jingheng even brought a professional to guide Xu Moyan.
Although she could sing along with the original singer through the headphones, she still made mistakes from time to time.
Every time she made a mistake, although she didn't have to start from the beginning, singing the same line over and over again was very boring and easily irritating. Also, this was Xu Moyan's first time recording a song. She wanted to do it well and at least have the right feelings.
Originally, she and Wei Zilin were a couple and didn't have any problems in terms of feelings. However, her singing was not accurate and was interrupted time and time again. The feelings that she had just put in were also interrupted. It was more troublesome to nurture them again.
The more depressed she was, the worse she sang.
Even the professional was a little impatient. He didn't get angry because of Nan Jingheng. If it were any other singer, he would have scolded them already.
"Teacher Chen, so you're really here." At the door, a woman dressed in a low-profile yet refreshing manner walked in.
Xu Moyan recognized her. It was a popular singer called Shang Xiling. She debuted as the junior sister of a heavenly king in the country. In order to promote her, the company specially let her sing a song with the heavenly king when she debuted. Then, they released a few albums according to the currently popular music elements. The songs didn't require high singing skills, but they were clever and made people like them.
In order to promote her, the company let all the internet celebrities on Weibo repost her songs and commented that her singing was just like her name, full of spirit.
Xu Moyan had also been approached by her management company. She didn't have a lot of fans at that time, only about 300,000 or so. However, the quality of her fans was very high and there weren't any zombie fans, so her management company offered her 10,000.
Xu Moyan agreed and also sent an advertisement to Shang Xiling. So now that she saw Shang Xiling, she didn't feel very surprised. It was probably because she knew the truth behind it and lost that sense of mystery. Celebrities became normal people and wouldn't feel surprised anymore.
"Xiling, you're here to record a song?" Teacher Chen, who was the professional that Nan Jingheng brought, turned to look at Shang Xiling. He finally put away his annoyance and smiled happily.
"Yes, I heard you're here, so I came to say hello." Shang Xiling looked at Wei Zilin and Xu Moyan on the other side of the glass window. "Why, are you preparing to groom a new singer?"
"No, it's to record the theme song for 'Slaughter Online'. That lady doesn't have experience in this area, so I came to guide her," Teacher Chen said. When he mentioned Xu Moyan, his tone became impatient again.
