YM778.TV Chapter 56
Besides personal belongings, she also brought her two skateboards.
Ever since the skateboarding escape incident, Three-Five-Five had developed an odd attitude toward skateboards, specifically:
She wouldn\'t play with them when Chu Tingwu was watching.
When Chu Tingwu wasn\'t around, she would secretly play with them, but her cat paws couldn\'t put the skateboard back in place. Both human and cat tacitly pretended not to know about this.
The cat mother seemed to want to physically demonstrate her stance on skateboarding, but her kitten would always agree nicely, appearing contrite yet continuing the behavior.
After repeating this pattern two or three times, a new word appeared in the tortoiseshell cat\'s vocabulary: "lying."
Three-Five-Five: "!"
The cat was very troubled.
When Chu Tingwu played with the skateboard in the hotel lobby, Three-Five-Five would occasionally dart over, stopping the skateboard with both paws, forcing Chu Tingwu to make an emergency stop.
Afterward, Three-Five-Five would stand up and pat Chu Tingwu\'s calf, meowing twice in praise.
Good girl, so obedient.
Chu Tingwu: "=v="
After observing for a while, the system noticed the issue—the kitten\'s persistent disobedience was just teasing her mom. Her goal was simply to hear those two phrases of "good kitty meow, good kitty meow," wasn\'t it? After hearing them, she would put the skateboard aside and either play with her phone while hugging Three-Five-Five or go out for a run.
When the mischievous cat child returned with her cat mother, they discovered unfamiliar cat scents in the hotel.
There were cat smells in the elevator too, and as Three-Five-Five tilted her head in confusion, Chu Tingwu realized: the orange cat had arrived for the role audition!
Due to strict requirements for size and appearance, the crew had only scheduled two suitable orange cats from Fallen Phoenix City for final auditions at the hotel.
One was Langlang, whose appearance was most suitable and who had been a stray before being adopted. The other was Hua Xiaogang, a house cat living in a rural courtyard whose owner also had seven dogs.
Sniffing the scents of both cats, Chu Tingwu checked the message on her phone and made her way to the meeting room.
She knocked and entered, finding several key personnel present, along with the unfamiliar cats and their owners.
The key personnel naturally included the directing team and the male and female leads.
Chu Tingwu was very familiar with the male lead Cheng Luwei, but the female lead had just finished filming a variety show and had only arrived today. She was a beautiful young woman with pure features and a slim figure; Chu Tingwu remembered she had done advertisements for a famous cosmetics brand.
Cheng Luwei greeted her warmly: "Teacher Xiao Chu!"
The female lead also smiled and greeted her, though she looked somewhat tired.
However, in cats\' eyes, humans weren\'t important—the signals from their own kind were what mattered.
Three-Five-Five ignored these humans and stood in front of Chu Tingwu, examining the two orange cats. One was in a carrier on the table, while the other was on a leash. The two cats had been staring at each other, but when Three-Five-Five and Chu Tingwu appeared, they both turned to look at them.
Having seen their photos, Chu Tingwu immediately recognized which was Langlang and which was Hua Xiaogang.
The two cats looked identical, but Langlang was thinner and confined to the carrier, while Hua Xiaogang had slightly smaller eyes and, after standing for a while, lowered his head to lick his paws.
Langlang\'s owner smiled wryly: "Langlang doesn\'t have the best temperament, I dare not let him out... shall we just observe him like this?"
Langlang was previously a stray, and his name came from his love of wandering. They lived on the fifth floor of an apartment complex, and after his owner took him in, the orange cat would wake him up every night to open the door.
The first time this happened, the owner was very sad, thinking the cat couldn\'t adapt to domestic life, so he opened the door to let him be free.
But the next morning, Langlang was scratching at the door covered in injuries, squeezing his way back inside.
Well, the kid had gone out fighting at midnight.
As it happened more frequently, the owner got used to it—this was a cat that needed more space. He didn\'t like staying in small rooms, considering the entire residential complex his territory, needing daily patrol rounds—and he would bring food back to his owner.
Last time it was an unopened sealed duck leg.
The owner: "..."
At least it was better than the half snake from the time before.
Rather than a pet-owner relationship, the owner felt they were more like roommates, especially when he discovered during Chinese New Year: when his parents came to stay and bought New Year supplies daily, Langlang didn\'t go out but stayed on the balcony, cautiously observing.
Perhaps Langlang went hunting because he saw his owner staying home all the time.
Though responsible, this cat indeed had a difficult temperament—he wouldn\'t let anyone pet or hold him, and would glare at every dog he passed, equally disdaining all living creatures in the vicinity.
As Chu Tingwu bent down to observe, Langlang suddenly stretched out his paw and smacked the lock on the carrier.
In the next second, Three-Five-Five had darted over, letting out a "rawr" at the orange cat.
The orange cat in the carrier froze, then squeezed his head near the lock, eyes wide, hissing at Three-Five-Five.
Nearby, Hua Xiaogang lifted his head in confusion, raising his left ear, then dropping it to raise his right ear, before silently turning his face away and pressing against his owner\'s pants leg with an expression that seemed to say "you\'re all too noisy."
Hua Xiaogang\'s owner laughed awkwardly and tugged on the leash.
Langlang\'s owner was even more uncomfortable, quietly trying to persuade his cat, but what use was human persuasion on cats—Chu Tingwu listened to their meaningless argument, her expression slowly turning to "=="
"You\'re yelling at my kid!"
"So what if I am!"
"Come out and fight if you dare!"
"You think I don\'t want to come out?"
Yes, it was that pointless, and yet so sincere—they were literally arguing about not being able to come out!
At this point, Three-Five-Five paused, looking at the carrier\'s lock: for her, such a lock was easier to open than catching mice, to the point where she began to question Langlang\'s intelligence.
Then, no longer caught up in the argument, the cat mother turned away, pretending nothing had happened, intently observing her own tail on the table.
As if the tail might suddenly sprout flowers.
Having lost his argument partner, Langlang also seemed bewildered, pushing at the carrier\'s lock a couple more times. Chu Tingwu greeted his owner and reached out to open the carrier—
In that instant, an orange blur shot out.
The other humans reflexively stepped back, Cheng Luwei moved to protect his water cup, the female lead instinctively shielded her script, and then they heard a cat\'s cry cut abruptly short.
Chu Tingwu had pinned Langlang down.
She had previously restrained a Maine Coon, so this time she was even more experienced... though Langlang was indeed stronger than the Maine Coon. Back then, Chu Tingwu could use her legs to restrain the cat\'s body, but this time on the table, she only used her hands.
They could see Langlang\'s lower body rolling and struggling—
But unsuccessfully.
Three-Five-Five watched from the side, suddenly raising her paw to punch the orange cat\'s head.
Langlang\'s owner: "Ah... ah... ah!"
He wanted to intervene but felt this wasn\'t a battlefield he could participate in.
When cats fight cats, he couldn\'t exactly join in... more importantly, he couldn\'t beat either cat!
Several minutes later, Langlang finally gave up, lying there panting, but still couldn\'t help hissing. Chu Tingwu chatted with him briefly before giving up: this actor cat\'s appearance was perfect, but his mind seemed a bit stubborn.
Moreover...
She switched arms to hold the cat down, her left hand sliding along its back and lifting its tail.
Chu Tingwu: "Not neutered?"
Langlang\'s owner: "We took him to the neighborhood pet clinic, but several of us couldn\'t hold him down. He broke the equipment and we had to compensate the doctor five hundred yuan."
Langlang\'s owner could tell that his cat probably wouldn\'t pass the interview. He was quite calm about it (after all, he had already gotten the celebrity\'s autograph), and even seemed a bit excited: "Master Chu, oh no, Teacher Chu, could I ask you to help get Langlang neutered? Just hold him down and give him the anesthetic!"
He pulled out his phone to show Chu Tingwu his fan badge from her livestream channel, suggesting: "Could this be a fan perk?"
He wasn\'t a hardcore fan, but it was because he followed Chu Tingwu that he downloaded the APP, and then adopted Langlang through the APP\'s online adoption event.
Chu Tingwu: ==
Which content creator offers neutering fans\' cats as a perk?
Though she found it absurd, Chu Tingwu agreed anyway, since there was a pet clinic just two blocks away that would only take a few minutes.
She stuffed Langlang back into the carrier, then turned to look at Hua Xiaogang.
Langlang\'s owner decided to stay and watch the fun—plus he was curious about how someone else\'s cat of similar size could be so well-behaved.
However, he noticed Three-Five-Five had somehow appeared next to the carrier and raised its paw.
Langlang\'s owner: ? Wait!
Three-Five-Five opened the carrier\'s lock.
Before Langlang, who had just experienced a dark moment in his cat life, could react, Three-Five-Five locked it again in the next second.
Langlang\'s face smacked right into the lock.
Langlang\'s owner: "..."
Master Chu, isn\'t your Three-Five-Five playing with my cat? Your cat is really messing with mine!
Unlike the impulsive and hot-tempered Langlang, Hua Xiaogang was a ginger cat with a stable temperament.
Or rather, most ginger cats had temperaments as steady as trucks.
Hua Xiaogang possessed both the personality of a truck and the build of an off-road vehicle. When Chu Tingwu approached, he gently raised his paw and patted her once.
When Three-Five-Five darted over from the table, Hua Xiaogang slightly backed away, signaling to the cat mother that he hadn\'t bullied her kid.
Three-Five-Five crouched at the edge of the table while Chu Tingwu began negotiating compensation with Hua Xiaogang—
At least during filming, the crew would provide cat food and canned food, and she would also prepare special cat meals as extras.
Hua Xiaogang: "So I have to stay here for many days before going back, meow?"
Chu Tingwu nodded.
The ginger cat\'s eyes lit up, forgetting about social distance and enthusiastically pouncing forward, placing both front paws on Chu Tingwu\'s leg: "When do we start, can we start today meow meow meow!"
Chu Tingwu: "..."
He clearly couldn\'t wait.
Hua Xiaogang\'s owner noticed this too, looking exasperatedly at the cat, then at Chu Tingwu, and clapped his hands: "So I\'ll just leave him here with you?"
Wait, we haven\'t signed the contract yet!
Contract negotiations were human business; the cats could already rest.
Hua Xiaogang\'s background was much simpler than Langlang\'s—his was a multi-dog household, as his owners particularly loved dogs. The cat was given to them by a neighbor, and when he first arrived, he was just a kitten. They fed him sheep\'s milk when he was small, and when he got a bit bigger, he almost thought he was a puppy himself, trying to eat the dogs\' food after finishing his cat food.
His owner had a habit of walking the dogs early in the morning, and the cat had to adjust his schedule accordingly. The first time he went out of curiosity to observe the dog walking, the owner called him to join them.
Being walked like a dog was one thing, and the lifestyle was quite healthy, but the dogs were too enthusiastic, and Hua Xiaogang would always end up with a face full of dog drool.
When he was small, he couldn\'t resist, but as he grew up, his natural cat cleanliness instinct kicked in, and he would fight with the dogs every day—though he couldn\'t win.
Because the owner kept large dogs.
Losing to dogs was one thing, but later when the owner brought home puppies, the puppies became very attached to the only creature in the house that was about their size—the cat.
Hua Xiaogang, this young three-year-old cat with a robust build and world-weary heart, was forced to help the owner raise puppies.
A three-year-old cat, physically strong but emotionally weathered, had had enough of living with dogs. Now, joining the film crew, he could finally have some quiet days!
Chu Tingwu: "..."
After hearing about Hua Xiaogang being licked by dogs every day, she quietly took half a step away from the ginger cat.
No wonder the dog smell was so strong, and they even used a dog leash on him.
After the discussion ended, the owner exchanged contact information with Chu Tingwu, happily handed over the leash, and drove home.
After all, they were local, and Chu Tingwu was quite well-known in Fallen Phoenix City, so he wasn\'t worried. He could come watch during filming but couldn\'t stay by the cat\'s side all the time.
...After all, he still had seven dogs to walk at home.
After the owner left, Hua Xiaogang showed slight signs of nervousness. While knowing something would happen was one thing, actually seeing the owner leave and being surrounded by unfamiliar scents was another. Though he only widened his eyes a bit, Chu Tingwu could tell he was becoming anxious.
After a moment\'s hesitation, Chu Tingwu mentioned something to Director Mu Lou, then suggested to Hua Xiaogang: "Want to come out with me for a bit?"
The cat\'s ears twitched: "Okay meow!"
Sure enough, after leaving the conference room and entering the hallway, the cat\'s mood seemed to improve. He sniffed around, mainly following Chu Tingwu\'s scent. He had realized that his owner had entrusted him to this cat child.
Chu Tingwu took Hua Xiaogang downstairs, and after leading him out, the cat asked puzzledly: "Where are we going meow?"
Would he be walked here too?
Chu Tingwu: "Huh? Taking Langlang to get neutered."
Hua Xiaogang: "..."
Meow! Meow meow meow?
-
When they went out, his tail was still held high, but when they returned, his tail was tucked down.
However, after eating the cat food prepared by Chu Tingwu, Hua Xiaogang\'s tail perked up again—or rather, he buried his head in the bowl, and when he looked up, his eyes were misty.
Chu Tingwu: "...Isn\'t that a bit dramatic?"
Hua Xiaogang: "!"
That\'s because you have no idea what kind of pig feed he had been eating before!
After eating, Chu Tingwu took Hua Xiaogang to the filming location, where today\'s scenes required Hua Xiaogang to work with the female lead.
After Chu Tingwu\'s subtle eye signals, the female lead carefully approached to pet the ginger cat\'s back, smiling sheepishly at Chu Tingwu: "I\'ve never had pets before, I\'m afraid of getting scratched."
The female lead, Tong Bei, wasn\'t professionally trained but was discovered by the entertainment industry.
She had passed an audition for a movie where she played a likable supporting role, after which her current company signed her.
However, afterward, Tong Bei didn\'t receive many new resources and gradually became known more for variety shows after entering the entertainment industry. Although variety show appearances could earn good money, she never forgot what that director had said: "Your face is more suited for the big screen."
Maybe it was just a polite comment, but Tong Bei remembered it for a long time.
Now, almost five years had passed, and her contract with the company was about to end. Tong Bei wanted to go independent, and the company, wanting to part on good terms, secured her the female lead role in Mu Lou\'s film.
Though it was the female lead, this was largely a male-led film, or rather an animal film, where the female lead\'s role wasn\'t much bigger than her previous supporting role, but Tong Bei still valued it greatly. After finishing her variety show work, she rushed to Fallen Phoenix City—
There was no airport here, making it inconvenient to travel.
She had also heard of Chu Tingwu—how could she not? This film was only greenlit because of the micro-film this child had posted, and if Director Mu Lou hadn\'t kept it secret during casting, people would certainly have approached Chu Tingwu hoping she could pull some strings.
By this point in filming, the movie could no longer be kept under wraps.
On her way here, Tong Bei had already seen online discussions starting to brew.
Thinking of this, her attitude toward Chu Tingwu became even more polite: "Little Teacher Chu, I\'ve never had cats before, so please point out anything I\'m doing wrong."
-
The crew\'s news had indeed started spreading online.
During the Spring Festival period, everyone was both extremely busy and idle, receiving lots of fragmented information. On New Year\'s Day, while Cheng Luwei didn\'t make headlines during the Spring Festival Gala, the topic "《Dragon Child》 Cast Reunites in Livestream" trended for half a day.
Many curious people clicked on it, wondering what Spring Festival film "Dragon Child" was, only to discover: Oh, it was that animal micro-film that had gone viral before.
Due to starting high school, Chu Tingwu\'s livestreaming and video posting frequency became much lower than before. Her follower count was growing steadily but slowly, and she had even lost some followers during her extended absence.
However, after this topic trended, riding on the Spring Festival traffic, Chu Tingwu was brought back into the public eye.
Some people who watched the shared micro-film went on to watch Chu Tingwu\'s other videos and followed her. Cheng Luwei\'s fans, who spotted their actor in Chu Tingwu\'s livestream, also followed her—
They speculated that Cheng Luwei was away filming, so perhaps they could get some insider information from Chu Tingwu\'s channel?
Obviously, the micro-film trending topic was purchased by the production team.
After the production team\'s promotion, Cheng Luwei\'s new Weibo account promoted it further, other supporting actors subtly mentioned their involvement in a film, and marketing accounts released half-true information. Someone even spotted Director Mu Lou in Fallen Phoenix City.
Although not a single frame from the film had been released, everyone seemed to know about this movie—Mu Lou was the director, Cheng Luwei had an important role, and it might involve animals—
Many celebrities were caught up in the buzz.
While the entertainment circle was bustling with activity, Chu Tingwu trended again on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
This time, however, it wasn\'t bought by the production team.
This trending topic was entirely because Jin City Public Security Bureau decided to promote anti-theft and anti-fraud awareness during the holiday season, releasing videos that included the portion Chu Tingwu filmed, along with a follow-up story.
"People asked us how we made these videos... Well, it was all thanks to our enthusiastic student Chu. She filmed and edited the videos herself; we only provided support."
"Student Chu goes to the airport every week to help catch thieves, reporting them to us when she spots them. As for the stolen items, we\'re not clear about the specific situations, but they\'ve all been returned to their rightful owners, and the victims have no complaints."
"We thank our little police helper, but children shouldn\'t try to copy her. If you spot a thief, just report it to the police—no need to film videos first—taking photos and videos of thieves is our job."
Perhaps because the interviewing officer\'s expressions were too dramatic and theatrical, this follow-up interview somehow made its way into Fenghua Video Network\'s "meme" section.
Many content creators made educational yet entertaining anti-theft videos, and naturally, Chu Tingwu\'s footage was used as source material.
Therefore, while Chu Tingwu wasn\'t in these videos herself, the comments were filled with her ID.
The phrase "Don\'t learn from Student Chu" gradually climbed to the top of trending topics.
The topic stayed trending for half a day before naturally falling off, but people who had clicked on the previous trending topic clicked on this one again, recognizing the familiar streamer ID, and couldn\'t help but ask:
What\'s the deal with this "Chu and Three-Five-Five"? Why do they keep popping up everywhere?
How does she have connections everywhere, always managing to appear in strange trending topics?
Fans provided proper introductions, while others joked around, and even students from Jin City No.5 Senior High School chimed in:
"I\'m a second-year student, and this junior is really something else (in a good way). We heard about her when she first enrolled, before we even knew she was a big streamer. Basically, you can spot her in all sorts of weird places... like national competitions, charity events, flag-raising ceremonies, and bird food shops. The craziest thing is that even the food stalls across from school have photos of her cat buying snacks! [Image: Pancakes that even cats love] Now, nothing seems strange anymore, no matter how bizarre it gets=="
Now Chu Tingwu\'s follower count has surpassed some flash-in-the-pan celebrities, and her fan retention is quite high. Whenever she streams, she can quickly climb to the top of the streaming rankings through engagement.
Yet she remains approachable—you might see her in the news, or pass by her on the street. She might seem distant, but when you see her walking past with her cat, she feels quite familiar.
This trending topic brought even more traffic than before, and after several days of buzz, Chu Tingwu\'s account was approaching two million followers.
Among these followers, only a small portion were persistent celebrity fans hoping to catch news of their idols in her livestream room:
Mu Lou had confirmed that Cheng Luwei was in his film, and rumors spread that to be cast in Mu Lou\'s films, one had to appear in Chu Tingwu\'s livestreams.
Most people found this rumor bizarre, even stranger than many entertainment industry superstitions, but some still believed it.
So when Chu Tingwu started streaming today, celebrity fans flooded in along with regular fans, all excited.
While others were greeting Chu Tingwu and asking about Three-Five-Five\'s whereabouts, these fans stood out awkwardly, all asking if she had seen their favorite celebrities in Fallen Phoenix City.
Chu\'s fans: "?"
[If your idol were a cat, Chu might help you find them, but if not, forget it, next!]
[Who says Master Chu can only find cats? She can find missing dogs too! Master Chu\'s cat network is extensive, so what kind of animals are all these names you\'re mentioning? This is Chu\'s missing animal helpline, we\'re all very helpful, don\'t be shy!]
Besides the sarcastic versions, there were also versions where fans simply spammed Chu Tingwu\'s name to push the comments up, but the fans weren\'t too worried... Even if the chat got heated, the streamer probably wouldn\'t pay much attention, or might not even be watching.
Yes, it was that bittersweet.
Usually, unless it was a dialogue-focused stream, Chu Tingwu would only check the chat after finishing her tasks, with dedicated time for answering questions.
So the early arriving fans were just chatting casually in the comments.
Soon people noticed that today\'s camera was again being controlled by the system, and the filming location appeared to be at a children\'s playground.
Local viewers recognized it: "That\'s the one in the west side of the city, it\'s been closed for ages!"
Indeed, this children\'s playground had been closed and up for sale but hadn\'t found a buyer. Now Director Mu Lou had spotted it and rented it at a low price for filming.
The main hall of the children\'s playground was being used as the location where the male lead is held captive in the film, and other areas could be used for various scenes, making it very practical.
Now that filming had wrapped up for a while, Chu Tingwu wandered near the abandoned playground. The original equipment had been removed, but the remaining irregular platforms were perfect for skateboarding and parkour.
These platforms weren\'t too high, seemingly part of what was once a small maze, with edges that had been smoothed down and weren\'t too rough to touch, plus some sloped platforms.
Chu Tingwu signaled the system to raise the drone ball.
She held a skateboard in one hand, standing it beside her foot, facing away from the camera at the entrance of the venue.
The camera was positioned diagonally above and behind Chu Tingwu, and fans were familiar with this third-person controlled view, curiously asking:
[Why is Master Chu skateboarding now?]
[Long time no see, Master Chu, is it parkour today? Or skateboarding lessons?]
[...But this doesn\'t look like a proper skateboarding venue, isn\'t it kind of dangerous?]
Chu Tingwu moved.
She didn\'t throw down the skateboard, maintaining her parkour stance, using one hand to support herself on the platform without using the hand holding the skateboard. But when she jumped to the second platform, she tossed the skateboard up, and as she landed on it, the front lifted up. She used the back wheels to draw a C-shape on the platform, following the curve to jump up, then landed with the skateboard on the opposite platform.
This scene left viewers stunned.
Because parkour and skateboarding have different speeds!
Parkour is still essentially running, and when people watch others do parkour, their brains have a rough estimate of their speed. However, adding skateboarding to parkour creates an exciting contrast with its varying speeds.
On the third platform, Chu Tingwu picked up her board and jumped down, then used the skateboard to climb the slope. Viewers could tell that this combination of skateboarding and parkour was something the streamer hadn\'t fully mastered yet, as if she was still experimenting.
During this time, Chu Tingwu nearly fell off the board twice, but once she stabilized herself with one hand on the platform, and another time she performed an aerial backflip.
The audience: "..."
What kind of balance monster are you?
After playing for a while, Chu Tingwu said to the camera: "This is my first time skating in this venue, I\'m just starting to get somewhat familiar with it now."
Fallen Phoenix City didn\'t have many suitable places for skateboarding, nor did it have a dedicated skate park, but today, skating up and down on this small platform, Chu Tingwu discovered that skateboarding... was only truly interesting when you had enough speed.
She rode the skateboard while chatting with her fans, swaying left and right, the board seemed glued to her feet, making it impossible to tell she was just a beginner who hadn\'t been learning for long.
Midway through speaking, Chu Tingwu caught a glimpse of orange in her peripheral vision. She smiled and waved: "Xiaogang!"
Hua Xiaogang bounded over and nuzzled against her hand.
[Eh? Is this the dragon cub?]
[No, no, the face is different! Besides, our dragon cub is a civil servant now, can\'t play around freely!]
[But isn\'t Chu Chu good friends with the dragon cub? Can\'t the kids play together during New Year? I thought the dragon cub had two days off after the last livestream!]
The dragon cub did have time off, so Lin Undercover specifically took it to visit its original owner\'s home for New Year, but because they were in different cities, the holiday was used up after returning.
Chu Tingwu didn\'t introduce Hua Xiaogang\'s identity, only telling viewers it wasn\'t the dragon cub... although they were both orange cats and both looked so strong and capable.
Then, she began skateboarding with Hua Xiaogang!
Both human and cat were a bit excited. Hua Xiaogang followed her, jumping up and down, occasionally leaping onto the skateboard. When the board got heavier, the landing sound changed, and the orange cat on the board would "Duang" up and down, after which the orange cat would excitedly "meow."
Chu Tingwu: "Meow meow!"
The human and cat played joyfully together. After familiarizing herself with the route a couple of times, Chu Tingwu skated back to the starting point, pulled out a blindfold from her pocket, and called the orange cat over with meows.
Amidst a stream of question marks in the comments, Chu Tingwu put on the blindfold, made a few moves on her skateboard, then pushed off the ground, launching forward like an arrow. As she rode up the ramp, Hua Xiaogang jumped onto the board.
[Ah wait, Chu-mi, this is dangerous!]
[Little cat, no, big cat, don\'t jump! You\'ll flip the board!]
[I refuse blind performances, refuse animal performances, but I can\'t refuse a blind person insisting on performing with animals...]
[It\'s actually not bad? Chu-shifu was a bit rough at first, but wasn\'t she skating quite steadily in those last few rounds?]
[But is being able to see the same as not being able to see?! Plus there\'s a mischievous cat!]
Heaven knows, Hua Xiaogang wasn\'t actually causing trouble, but now they completely distrusted its cat character, feeling that having an animal they couldn\'t communicate with nearby made things a hundred times more dangerous than usual.
Being able to see and not being able to see were indeed different.
After putting on the blindfold, Chu Tingwu felt like she was flying!
The system controlled the drone for real-time filming, while Chu Tingwu went up and down with the help of her skateboard. She couldn\'t see her surroundings, but there was another three-dimensional world in her mind.
A cat ran in this world, occasionally approaching her, stepping onto the skateboard, spinning with the board, then standing up, making Chu Tingwu feel like she was being thrown up and falling down—she was the one being thrown up, and she was also the one throwing herself up in the darkness!
This time she didn\'t try too many parkour moves, instead relying on the skateboard to avoid obstacles.
There was a section where the skateboard could pass through under the platform. Chu Tingwu used parkour moves to flip over the top, while Hua Xiaogang rode the skateboard through the hole below. Then, Chu Tingwu fell from above again, landing precisely on her skateboard.
She heard the rolling sound, and because she knew there was a cat pressing on the board, the gliding speed would slow down.
It was magical and interesting. The world was vast, but at this moment, this small "world" was under her control—
She suddenly understood why people loved extreme sports.
Because athletes performing extreme sports all believe they\'re mastering the current "extreme"—the limits of their bodies.
Once people try such a sport, it\'s hard to let it go.
The comments gradually decreased, including those trying to discourage her.
Long-time fans didn\'t even try to discourage her. They were like parents who knew their child would fall in front of the camera but would also get back up, because they knew better that the child always had their own ideas and could always do well.
The camera captured this scene, fans watched silently, also holding their breath, quietly listening to their own hearts pounding.
This was a live stream where accidents could happen, not a pre-recorded video with a predetermined ending. No one knew what would happen.
Suddenly, a person appeared in the corner of the frame. The stranger\'s face was pixelated as usual, but it was clearly a young woman. She waved at Chu Tingwu, seeming to want to call out to her, but didn\'t speak. Even without showing her face, she appeared somewhat confused.
A few comments scrolled by:
[This kind of looks like our Bei-bei?]
However, no one responded to these few celebrity fans, and other fans didn\'t say much either. Everyone\'s attention was still on the cat and person on the skateboard.
The skateboard reached the final curved ramp, and fans only then noticed that this ramp was somewhat narrow, only slightly wider than the skateboard itself.
Chu Tingwu rushed up the ramp, faster than any previous time, then crouched down to grab the skateboard with one hand while grabbing Hua Xiaogang with the other.
The orange cat let out a "meow."
Human and cat launched into the air together, spinning 360 degrees with the board, and landed heavily!
The cat\'s eyes dilated then contracted, lying in Chu Tingwu\'s arms meowing non-stop, seemingly saying "Again, again!"
The camera focused on Chu Tingwu\'s face; she was also somewhat out of breath, sweat sliding down toward her black blindfold.
[!!]
[...]
Aliali: 67490e35c4f3f33ac4819927[Holy cow! Holy cow!]
Only then could the audience relax and breathe, their comments somewhat scattered, seemingly unable to think of what to say, only able to express emotions with short phrases. So a longer comment stood out—
[Wait, wait, isn\'t that Three-Five-Five behind Chu-mi...?]
The audience noticed the corner again, where behind the woman who appeared on camera but whose face wasn\'t shown, a familiar cat head emerged.
Three-Five-Five silently appeared behind the person, then circled around them, quietly staring at the person and cat playing with the skateboard.
Her expression was unusually serious, even somewhat grim.
Those eyes, who knew if they were just watching Chu Tingwu, or watching Hua Xiaogang, or staring at... the human and cat playing together on the skateboard!
Taking your own cat out to play dangerous sports was one thing, but to play with another cat!
Caught in the act!
Danger, streamer, danger!
