I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 315 Mother and Daughter's Nighttime Talk!

Gulnazar sat there, looking at Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanz, who were showering everyone with their affection, with a sullen expression.

His cheeks were slightly bulging, and he looked rather unhappy.

Yang Zi sat next to her. The two were quite close because they were both students at the Beijing Film Academy.

"You like Chen Jin?"

Yang Zi took a bag of potato chips, opened it, ate some, and handed it to Gulnazar.

"dislike!"

Nazha picked up a potato chip with her long, slender fingers and took a big bite; Yang Zi laughed at her reaction: "It's okay to like him, lots of girls in our class like him too~~"

Does that include you?

Nazha has a very straightforward personality, which might be hard for most girls to handle. Yang Zi laughed it off and said, "No, Jin-ge and I are like brothers!"

"Pshaw, I don't believe it!"

Nazha tossed her long hair, and Yang Zi shrugged: "Believe it or not!"

"Are the girls in your class trying to get close to Brother Jin?"

I'm different...

As Gulnazar was thinking, she categorized all the girls from the 10 class of the Beijing Film Academy's acting department who were a year ahead of her as slutty and cheap.

"Who wouldn't want that..."

Even Yang Zi wanted to work with Chen Jin again, but Chen Jin said she would only consider her if there was a suitable role.

The main reason is that Chen Jin is surrounded by too many girls, so Yang Zi has no chance of being attracted to him.

Unlike Gulnazar and Dilraba, who have both worked with her, one is love-struck and the other is straightforward, making them easy to fall for.

"Keep going, you still have a chance!"

Yang Zi was comforting her, and Nazha's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Have you ever heard the saying, "The longest-lasting expression of love is to be there for someone"?

Yang Zi was acting as the strategist, and Nazha understood somewhat: "Wait, right?"

"clever!"

Nazha also felt that Zhu Yanmanz and Chen Jin would definitely not end up together; they were just in a passionate relationship right now. In this industry, many relationships end in separation, and Nazha didn't expect to marry Chen Jin in the future.

For her, being able to have a passionate and intense romance with Chen Jin was the fulfillment of her wish.

This is also a rule for couples in the entertainment industry, and Yang Zi, who was standing next to her, was obviously well aware of it.

After Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanzi finished their song, they sat down amidst cheers from the crowd. Nazha obviously couldn't ask Chen Jin to sing another song with her, but she thought to herself that she had to interact with Chen Jin at least once today.

Dilraba shared the same thought as her.

Two people sat on either side of the private room like bodyguards. Chen Jin and the other person sat with Dilraba, since Zhu Yanmanz was her best friend.

"Let me order! Let me order!"

Yang Zi acted as the atmosphere-maker, taking song requests from everyone present.

Naza and Dilraba also sang a few songs. At this moment, the two girls looked at Chen Jin at the same time, as if they were exchanging a knowing glance. Chen Jin waved her hand and said, "Let's sing 'The Boatman's Love.' Who wants to sing with me?"

"The boatman's love?"

Dilraba was also stunned for a moment; it's normal for a girl from Xinjiang not to know this song.

Naza, who has been more exposed to the internet, was already laughing and saying, "I, I'll sing!"

Zhu Yanmanzi, who was standing to the side, also looked at Chen Jin with a smile. She thought that only he could handle this situation.
Soon, the melody of "The Boatman's Love" began to play.

Now Dilraba knew what song it was, and sitting next to Zhu Yanmanz, she said, "It's a love song, right?"

"Yes, but when young people sing it, it has a different feel!"

Sure enough, the next second the style of singing became incredibly peculiar; unlike the sweeter and sweeter the song "Little Dimples" was, many people were already laughing out loud as soon as they started singing "Boatman".

The lyrics are the same, and the song is a perfectly normal song, but listening to it... just feels so off.

"Little sister, you sit at the bow of the boat, and brother walks on the shore..."

"Love and affection, the tow rope sways gently..."

The lyrics are very affectionate, but it's also very funny when sung.

The key is that Nazha sang very seriously, as did Chen Jin, but the people around them couldn't resist.

"Hahaha!"

"It has a unique art style!"

"This is hilarious..."

Naza eventually gave in and punched Chen Jin resentfully.

Chen Jin looked at Dilraba and asked, "Is anyone else coming?"

"Let's change to another song, Chen Jin, I'll sing with you!"

Dilraba stood up with the microphone in hand, and Chen Jin didn't hesitate at all: "Dilraba, sing 'The Big Sedan Chair'!"

Yang Zi was completely speechless, and Nazha instantly felt much better.

Dilraba laughed and playfully hit Chen Jin, who had turned the duet into something abstract. Nevertheless, she sang along with Chen Jin, filling the entire private room with a joyful atmosphere, much more cheerful than watching the couple's public display of affection earlier.

"Did you do it on purpose?"

Zhu Yanmanz nestled in Chen Jin's arms and laughed, but Chen Jin waved his hand and said, "No, just to liven things up. Didn't they all want to sing love songs with me? I've already done that for them."

"Satisfy you, my foot!"

Dilraba pinched Chen Jin's thigh, clearly annoyed; he was doing it on purpose.

However, she also knew that Chen Jin was a very intelligent person, and that this was actually the best way to handle the situation. She wasn't stupid, so of course she understood why Chen Jin would handle it this way.

All I can say is that this guy has such high emotional intelligence that it's impossible for anyone to feel like cutting ties with him.

Even just meeting up with him occasionally makes me very happy.

"Do you still want to come?"

Chen Jin sang two songs in a row, which must have been quite tiring.

The two girls, understanding his situation, quickly waved their hands. Unexpectedly, Yang Zi jumped out and laughed loudly, "Come on, let's sing 'The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau'!"

"Screw you!"

Chen Jin really wanted to kick her away: "You sing with Zhang Houzi!"

"I think Yang Zi and Yi Shan could sing the theme song from 'Home with Kids'!"

Zhu Yanmanzi suddenly covered her mouth and said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jin immediately raised both hands in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, sing that song!"

"How did you sing it again?"

"Your childhood and my childhood seem so similar~~"

"Small shoulders, big schoolbag, off to school..."

Dilraba had already started humming along, while Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan were clearly a little embarrassed, but unable to resist everyone's anticipation, they finally had to sing a duet.

The atmosphere in the private room instantly became incredibly lively, and by the end, everyone was howling and screaming.

Because of this song, almost everyone present could hum a few lines.

In the end, Chen Jin also sang a song with Yang Zi, and it wasn't until 2 a.m. that everyone reluctantly parted ways.

Yang Zi and Gulnazar went back to Beijing Film Academy, Dilraba and Qin Junjie went to the Central Academy of Drama, but Zhu Yanmanzi said she wanted to go home. Everyone looked at Chen Jin meaningfully. Chen Jin knew that he was going to take the blame.

However, he didn't explain much. After saying goodbye to everyone, he got into the car with Zhu Yanmanz.

"Sister Pu Lun said she wants to give me a coming-of-age ceremony!"

After getting into the car, Zhu Yanmanz looked up at Chen Jin.

Her birthday is on the 7th of next month, and it's quite special.

What do you mean?

Chen Jin, of course, didn't care.

The coming-of-age ceremony is nothing more than a way to gain some attention, which will definitely help increase Zhu Yanmanzi's fame.

"Forget it, I don't want to be too famous!"

"Let's have a meal together, it's my parents' birthday celebration!"

"also……"

Chen Jin knew what Zhu Yanmanzi meant.

She wanted to make their relationship public on her birthday, at least to her parents. As for her fans, it didn't matter whether it was public or not.

Anyway, many people in the industry actually know this, including some journalists.

"Then it's settled!"

"Should we invite your aunt and uncle along too?"

Zhu Yanmanzi asked Chen Jin for his opinion, but Chen Jin quickly waved his hand and said, "Never mind, there's no rush. There will be plenty of opportunities later!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Yanmanz nodded, not giving it much thought.

She has always trusted Chen Jin unconditionally.

"The roadshow will take about two weeks, so remember to ask the school for leave!"

Zhu Yanmanzi is the female lead in "Love is Not Blind 2: So Young," so of course she has to participate in the promotion.

The two chatted in the car and soon arrived at Zhu Yanmanzi's home.

"Go home now, and text me when you get home!"

As night fell, Zhu Yanmanzi got out of the car, turned around and waved to Chen Jin. Her beautiful face was stunning under the moonlight.

"I'll leave after you get home!"

Chen Jin watched as Zhu Yanmanzi entered the building, turning back to look at her every few steps. Soon, the light in her bedroom was turned on. Zhu Yanmanzi, with her long hair cascading down her shoulders, stood at the window and smiled slightly at the car below. Chen Jin watched her raise her arm before instructing the driver to drive the car away.

……

He watched as Chen Jin's car drove out of his residential compound.

At that moment, Zhu Yanmanzi's mother, Yan Ning, knocked on her daughter's bedroom door.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!
"Zzz, may I come in?"

Yan Ning didn't sleep. Her daughter was coming home today, but she didn't expect it to be so late, so she waited until now.

After Zhu Yanmanz returned home, she greeted her and went straight to the bedroom. She immediately felt that things were not so simple.

"Mom, come in!"

Zhu Yanmanz turned around, smoothed her long hair, and looked at Yan Ning, who was wearing pajamas, as she walked in, yawning and looking sleepy.

"Mom, shall we sleep together tonight?"

I have a lot to tell you!

Zhu Yanmanzi stepped forward and hugged Yan Ning's arm, acting somewhat coquettishly.

Yan Ning said irritably, "You're just making your mother suffer. Staying up so late at night, don't you have class tomorrow morning?"

"It's okay, just be in the classroom by 10 o'clock!"

Zhu Yanmanzi pulled Yan Ning to sit on her bed. Yan Ning frowned and said, "Aren't you going to take a shower? You smell like alcohol. Have you been drinking all this time?"

She wasn't too opposed to her daughter drinking, after all, she was in college and needed to have some social interactions.

But you can't get drunk.

It's easy for a girl to get into trouble if she gets drunk late at night, especially since she's quite famous now.

"I didn't drink it!"

"I'm going to take a shower, Mom, wait for me..."

Zhu Yanmanzi chuckled, grabbed her clothes, and dashed into the bathroom; poor Yan Ning, at her advanced age, had to endure the ordeal while Zhu Yanmanzi showered and went to bed.

She could tell that what her daughter wanted to tell her today was quite important.

It's probably also related to going straight into the bedroom after getting home.

Just now, her daughter must have been looking at someone from the window... As someone who's been through it all, Yan Ning knew all too well that if someone brought her home in the middle of the night, it was either her boyfriend or someone close to that.

Lost in thought, Yan Ning found herself with a slender body lying down beside her.

"Mom, are you asleep?"

Zhu Yanmanz turned her head and looked at her mother, whose eyelids were drooping.

Yan Ning jolted awake, then, looking dejected, said, "How about we talk about it tomorrow morning..."

I'm leaving as soon as I wake up tomorrow morning!

Zhu Yanmanzi said, and then whispered in Yan Ning's ear, "Mom, I have a boyfriend!"

These words, just as Zhu Yanmanz had thought, had a rather sobering effect.

Even though Yan Ning had already guessed something, her expression still turned serious when she heard her daughter say this: "Just now, was it him who brought you back?"

"Ok!"

Zhu Yanmanzi smiled sweetly: "This is what I wanted to tell you. He actually... you know him!"

"Chen Jin, perhaps..."

Yan Ning didn't need to think about it much at all; in fact, she would mutter this thought to herself whenever she had free time.

But as Chen Jin became more and more famous, Yan Ning felt more and more that there was probably nothing between him and her daughter.

Not only did Chen Jin never visit her home, but Zhu Yanmanzi also rarely mentioned it.

But now that Zhu Yanmanzi has said it, she still blurted it out.

intuition!

A woman's terrible intuition.

"Is it really that predictable?"

Zhu Yanman smiled and hugged her mother tightly.

Yan Ning sighed softly: "You know, I knew it... You two, didn't you start a long time ago?"

"No!"

Zhu Yanmanz certainly wouldn't dare say that, so she could only say, "It was during this time that... he suddenly confessed to me!"

Zhu Yanmanzi dared not say that she had confessed her feelings to Chen Jin, otherwise her mother would definitely scold her and would bring it up again from time to time.

After all, when a girl pursues a boy, parents always feel that their daughter is begging him.

She's easily dumped by boys.

Conversely, they would cherish it; it's fair to say that many parents think this way.

This is why there will be so many single women in the future; there are reasons related to their own lives as well as the upbringing of their parents.

"Really?"

Why is Yan Ning so skeptical?
Yan Ning felt that Chen Jin's current fame was... too high for her to reach!
He won the Venice Film Festival Best Actor award again, and just a few days ago he won the Golden Rooster Award. This kid is the hottest star in the entertainment industry right now. Every time Yan Ning thinks back to the first time she met Chen Jin two years ago, even though she had a premonition that Chen Jin would become famous, she never expected that he would become famous so quickly.

It darted around so quickly.

This is also why Yan Ning felt that Zhu Yanmanz and Chen Jin could not be together.

The other party is incredibly popular right now.

Yan Ning felt somewhat in agreement when her own daughter confessed her feelings to him, but this also made her worry about her daughter.

In short, if Chen Jin and Zizi had been together two years ago, Yan Ning would only have been worried about their age.

Chen Jin is a very outstanding young man, and Yan Ning actually likes him quite a bit.

But now, she has many other concerns.

It's somewhat similar to how men become bad when they have money, or how they change when they become famous; parents always consider things from their child's perspective.

"real!"

"His birthday is in a few days, and I'm planning to invite him to our house!"

"Could you tell Dad about it?"

Yan Ning is easy to persuade, but I'm worried that her father might not agree.

It's not that they don't approve of Chen Jin, but given Chen Jin's current fame and status, their parents are probably worried that they might suffer if they were with him.

Zhu Yanmanz understood their psychology very well.

Growing up in a loving family, both parents and children can understand each other.

"If it were Xiao Chen from two years ago, and you are now, Mom would definitely support you being together!"

"But he's so famous now, he must have no shortage of girls around him, right?"

Yan Ning saw things very clearly.

"Ok!"

There's nothing wrong with admitting this.

"Then Mom doesn't really want you to associate with guys like that!"

"Can you understand?"

Yan Ning's advice mainly comes from her own experience.

"But Chen Jin... is different!"

"Besides, I've met his parents!"

Zhu Yanmanzi raised her head and looked at her mother with a firm gaze: "It was Chen Jin who invited me to his house!"

"His parents like me a lot too, and they treat me very well!"

"Zizi, you're still young..."

"Mom, I know what you're worried about. Actually, I'm not sure if I'll be able to marry him and be with him in the future!"

"But I just like him!"

"I really like him and I want to marry him!"

Yan Ning: "..."

This is the most troublesome part of being a mother.

The young girl became blinded and reckless in the face of so-called love.

In the end, they are often covered in wounds.

If not 100%, then 99% of the time the outcome won't be good.

"I'll talk to your dad tomorrow!"

"Let's talk about it after we see the child..."

What else could Yan Ning say?

Forcibly separating the two people now is not her style.

As a woman with higher education, she understands the principle that it's better to guide than to suppress.

Now she can only rely on Chen Jin.

I hope this child is still the same sunny and warm-hearted boy he was two years ago... at least, that he won't hurt her daughter.

A clean break is fine too.

Experiencing several relationships is a kind of life wisdom for girls.

"Go to sleep!"

Yan Ning sighed inwardly; her previously tired mind had become unusually clear at this moment.
