Chapter 198: 197. Relapse into old habits

[Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit! Why do I feel like this movie is going to be epic???]

[It has all the vibes of a grand strategy drama, I really want to know what happens, the competition among the heroes, just thinking about it gets me excited!]

[If it’s released on New Year’s Eve, there should be presales by now, right? Screw it, I’m booking a wave of tickets first——]

[Damn it! The person above is super clever, how could I have forgotten, I need to hurry, if I go late, I won’t be able to pick good seats——]

[Oh my God, I just went to the presale, and suddenly found that several New Year’s Eve sessions are already out of good seats, the speed is just unbelievable.]

[You still want good seats? Aren’t your standards a bit too high? This is Director Xie’s film, be grateful if you can get a ticket at all, even if it’s a side seat you’ve got to lock it down first.]

[... I can’t believe it, after checking multiple presale sessions, not a single ticket left, are you all devils???]

[hhhhhh~~~Brothers, the time to battle with our finger speed has arrived!]

At this moment, an ID that hadn’t appeared before posted a comment:

[Heh, by the time you remember, the day lilies will have cooled down, that’s what you get for just chatting away!]

Everyone else: "...."

[So, dude, did you grab your tickets before coming here?]

[I have to say, you’re really a sly dog.]

[Holy shit, you can do that???]

[Such scheming!!!]

[Is the world really this treacherous? Do I have to strategize even just chatting with friends? Damn, what kind of life am I living!]

...

Within a day of the official Weibo account announcing the news, a large volume of press releases about "Heroes in Troubled Times" began appearing online.

[Director Xie’s new film strikes, "Heroes in Troubled Times" showcases the splendor of heroes battling for supremacy!]

["Heroes in Troubled Times" challenges the Spring Festival slot, are you ready?]

["Heroes in Troubled Times" kicks off early movie ticket pre-sales, tickets are hard to come by!]

When Tang Shu finished her last written exam feeling relaxed, she switched on her phone to find her screen filled with messages about the film.

They’re starting the promotion already?

She hadn’t received any messages before; it seems the production team’s confidentiality was top-notch.

"Shushu, give me your textbook, I’ll hold it for you."

"Thanks."

"Hehe~~ Just contribute a teeny bit of pickled cucumber today, and we can talk about anything."

Cheng Ranran smiled mischievously, her round face showing a hint of flattery.

Even Ye Xiaohui leaned over, resting her chin on Tang Shu’s shoulder, her eyes brightening up as she looked at her.

Another one bewitched by the teacher’s culinary skills.

Tang Shu pointed to her backpack on her shoulder; the two immediately got the hint and took out the little bottle while she was busy reading messages.

"Oh yeah~~~~ It’s my favorite pickled cucumber again!"

"Shushu, is this pickled cucumber made by someone at home? It’s crunchier than the ones from my house, could I learn the recipe?"

Tang Shu was instantly troubled; the teacher had indeed told her.

But for a kitchen disaster like her, those simple steps were still as inscrutable as a Celestial Book.

"I’ll ask next time, see if I can write down the recipe for you."

"It’s a deal then."

Ye Xiaohui proactively cradled her textbooks in her arms, and as the three of them left the exam room, they ran into Zhao Haixue coming out from the next room.

"Our big star is actually eating this stuff? Doesn’t your agency give you any money?"

Tang Shu frowned slightly, thinking to herself that it hadn’t been two months of being honest, and here she was reverting to her old ways.
