Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 424 Silly Baitian

Is this sentence that powerful?
Liu Jing had no time to think, let alone the interest to look at the excerpted sentences.

He pulled Tang Yan towards the bathroom and turned on the cold water to rinse her off. "Are you burned? How could you be so careless?"

"I didn't have any on me, so... I burned my hand." Tang Yan bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, "You said, you said Qianqian sent you, what do you mean?"

"literal meaning."

The rushing cold water cooled Liu Jing's scalded hands and also cooled his thoughts.

He vaguely understood how he had gained this level of goodwill.

Liu Jing wouldn't find it strange that there was an extra little bit, but this was a crucial point.

He ate a lot of candy and worked a lot of hard while filming "Chinese Paladin 3", but Tangtang never contributed any of that.

A small difference can make all the difference; this is the distinction between daily progress and breaking through a new level.

The difficulty level of 80 to 89 points may not be as high as that of 89 to 90 points.

Liu Jing figured it out when Sisi's favorability rating was at its maximum.

A score of 60 to 79 points corresponds to the initial stage.

80 to 89 points is equivalent to the mid-term.

Points 90 to 99 are equivalent to the later stages of the game.

100 points is the peak, then comes perfection.

As for scores below 60, failing, not good enough, and being disliked is already considered good.

Of the twelve bonds, eleven have been established with each other, and Liu Jing is basically in a passive position in all of them.

Only with Tang Yan was Liu Jing proactive, and his proactiveness was bizarre.

If Tang Yan had called the police that day, he probably would have been in serious trouble.

Therefore, Liu Jing had mixed feelings about Tang Yan. He felt she was special, guilty, and ashamed. He often thought that if that night hadn't happened, Tang Yan would have had a new life.

He held her back.

If you ask him to let go, absolutely not. How can you not swallow meat that's already in your mouth, unless there's something wrong with the meat?

There was absolutely nothing wrong with Tang Yan; the subtleties involved are best left unsaid.

Liu Jing had a guess that the slightest bit of goodwill he couldn't gain was related to the nature of that night.

But what just happened? Has the knot in his heart been untied? Those excerpted sentences all illustrate the owner's struggle.

Thinking back to the scene, he had a vague guess that it must be related to Xixi.

"What does it mean literally?" Tang Yan asked seriously.

She is very smart, smarter than most people.

Liu Jing's words just now made her understand everything; she was simply confirming it.

She did have a knot in her heart, not from that night, but from her feelings towards Xixi.

She and Xixi are best friends. Unlike Yang Mi, she doesn't feel any remorse for betraying her best friend, nor does she act as if it's a matter of course as Shu Chang does.

Having a conscience isn't necessarily a good thing for oneself.

A mirror can become dusty, and no amount of wiping it away will help, because the dust is already in the mirror.

When facing Xixi, she felt immoral, guilty, ashamed, and conflicted, casting a shadow over their otherwise good friendship.

Everyone is a book; the more you read a woman's book, the thinner it becomes, while the more you read a man's book, the thicker it becomes.

The more she spent with Liu Jing, the deeper her heart fell.

When faced with Liu Jing, he could neither obtain what he desired nor let go of him.

The five aggregates are in full bloom, and the heart is locked in a city.

Arrogance or prejudice, the books she read and the stories in those novels became shackles on her.

Sisi's actions today were like a key that unlocked that door.

Suddenly the golden rope snapped, and the jade lock was torn apart. The tide of the Qiantang River arrives, and only today do I realize who I truly am.

"I took good care of her, and she sent me to you. That's what I mean."

Liu Jing played with the little red hand, feeling a little sorry for it; it wouldn't be needed tonight.

"She...she...but...but..." Tang Yan stammered, unsure of what to say.

"What do you mean by 'she'? But what do you mean by 'but'? You take a cold shower first, I'll go buy the medicine." Liu Jing understood Tang Yan's unspoken meaning; in fact, he was also quite surprised by Qianqian's behavior tonight.

"No need for that..."

"No need for anything, just rinse for ten minutes or so. Then soak your hands in cool water, but don't use ice, and don't worry about wasting water. I'll be back soon."

boom……

You're not fast at all, but you are fast in speed.

"Can't a person even speak? I have aloe vera gel..." Tang Yan shouted, but it was no use, as Liu Jing had already left.

Liu Jing went out, really wanting to smoke a cigarette.

I checked my pockets, but there were no cigarettes. I'll just have to put up with it for now; I can smoke later.

[Bond: Tang Yan]

[Level: Level 1]

【Favourability: 90】

[Synergy Skill: Generating...]

Of the twelve bonds, Zeng Li, Tong Liya, and Zhao Liying are still missing from reaching 90 points.

Zeng Li is nearing the critical point, Zhao Xiaodao is not far behind, and Tong Liya has absolutely no chance.

She's definitely the busiest person right now.

Her performance at the Olympic Games opening ceremony brought her considerable fame, and with Bai Bing's help, she made the most of the benefits.

Filming, training, business engagements, and more—work fills all her time. Sometimes she's even working late into the night to meet deadlines; she simply doesn't get a break.

She is ambitious and knows how to seize opportunities, so she works hard without complaint.

The hardships we endure today are for a life free from hardship tomorrow. Many people want to endure such hardships but haven't had the chance yet.

Without enduring the bitter cold, how can the plum blossoms exude their fragrant aroma?

Tong Liya understands what she is doing and what she wants.

There was a pharmacy next to the hotel, so Liu Jing bought burn ointment and quickly returned.

"why you?"

Twenty minutes ago, those inside the door asked those outside, but now those outside are asking those inside.

"Hey! What's going on with you two? I told you to come and sleep with her, not to burn her." Qianqian asked in a low voice. She did ask Tang Yan, but her best friend was acting strangely, looking blank, as if she had lost her soul, and didn't say anything.

"What are you doing here? Are you worried about me?" Liu Jing's voice was even softer.

"I asked you to come, what are you worried about?" Sisi felt guilty, as she had only just arrived at Tang Yan's room.

After Liu Jing left, she flipped through a copy of "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" over and over, but she just couldn't get into it.

Looking at the clock, counting the seconds, each day felt like an eternity, an unbearable ordeal.

Twenty minutes passed, and she sensed the fight next door was about to begin. She tiptoed out of the room, intending to eavesdrop.

The room was well soundproofed; I could only faintly hear the sound of running water before the door opened.

Tang Yan didn't know that Qianqian was outside. She wanted to go out for some fresh air and a breeze. When she opened the door, she was almost scared to death. When did my angelic best friend become so perverted?

Thankfully, she was reading "Pride and Prejudice" instead of "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio".

"Is Tangtang alright?" Liu Jing looked around. The corridor was empty; the hotel offered good privacy.

"She's soaking in water right now. Did you buy the medicine?" Sisi peeked in too, and the two exchanged a glance. "Why do we look like we're doing something wrong?"

"Is it inappropriate for us to chat like this at the door?" Liu Jing muttered. What if someone walks by? How would he explain? "You can tell me," Qianqian said, stepping aside to let Liu Jing into the house.

With Xixi around, Liu Jing doesn't have to apply the medicine.

After applying the medicine, Liu Jing explained the precautions, and then remained silent.

Sisi glanced at Liu Jing, "Why don't you continue?"

Liu Jing looked blank, unsure of what to say.

Sisi's eyes were cold and sharp. "You need my help to pick up girls? Is that even possible?"

Liu Jing looked innocent. "How about we go back first? Let's think this over properly."

Sisi snorted coldly. Having finally managed to break through, she was naturally going to press her advantage. She planned to drive Liu Jing away later, seize the opportunity to mend their friendship, and incidentally, completely brand Tang Yan as her own.

Liu Jing's phone ringing interrupted their eye contact.

"Let's change the ringtone." Sisi's face flushed red. The ringtone just now played a line, and Rotten Wood would repeat it quickly.

Both of them won awards today, and their phones rang non-stop all evening, so they completely missed each other.

"Hey! Little White, what's wrong?"

Liu Jing took his phone aside to answer it. Qianqian suddenly realized why he answered; it was Bai Bing calling.

A call at this hour is definitely for work.

When Liu Jing calls late at night, only Xiao Bai's calls don't make Qianqian jealous.

"Bai Bing's call?" Tang Yan also snapped out of her silence.

"Hmm, I guess something's up."

Tang Yan replied with an "Mmm," and then fell silent.

This won't do. I sent Wood over to keep you company, but how did you manage to make a mistake?

Sisi gritted her teeth, deciding to hold Liu Rijing accountable for this.

She coughed twice, trying to make conversation, "Tangtang, aren't you having a celebration party tonight? Did you say when filming 'Ip Man 2' will start?"

Fatty Wang is treating everyone to dinner tonight, and Sisi wanted to bring Tang Yan along. But after calling, she learned it was a wrap party for the "Ip Man" film crew, so they couldn't go.

At this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, "Ip Man" won Best Film, a major award among major awards.

"There are some problems with the script, and we haven't decided when to start filming yet." Although Tang Yan has resolved her inner conflict, she is still a little uneasy for the time being.

Especially after hearing that Qianqian had asked Liu Jing to find her, the three of them were now in the same room, which made them feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Didn't you hold a launch ceremony in Shanghai at the end of last month?" Sisi asked in surprise.

“Yes! The director wants to include Bruce Lee's character in ‘Ip Man 2,’ which is quite troublesome. He has to negotiate the copyright with his descendants. They're in talks now, but he says they're difficult to deal with. We won't move on to the next step until this is settled.” Tang Yan sighed.

“Indeed, there’s nothing we can do; his family’s situation is special.” Sisi understood.

Bruce Lee's daughter, through her business, oversees the management and licensing of Bruce Lee's intellectual property, including his name, image, movement design, and related rights to Jeet Kune Do.

To use these products, you must obtain authorization; otherwise, they will sue for copyright infringement.

Tang Yan was somewhat troubled, "I started reserving my schedule in June, but I don't know if it will be postponed. I have several films waiting to be made this year. If the start of filming for 'Ip Man 2' is delayed, Bai Bing will be in a real headache. She has put this film as her highest priority and has been keeping up with the progress of 'Ip Man 2'."

“If I were Bai Bing, I would also prioritize this film. One ‘Ip Man’ is worth more than any number of other films you could take on. There’s no need to worry; just cancel all other slots and reserve them specifically for ‘Ip Man 2.’” Xixi agrees with Bai Bing’s approach, mainly because she agrees with Bai Bing. If Yang Mi did the same, she would definitely nitpick and offer a completely different perspective.

"I'm not like you, only filming one movie a year." Tang Yan was filled with envy. There was nothing she could do; people have different fates, and even those with the same fate might not be the same.

“Once you become famous, you can too. For now, focus on volume. Bai Bing’s arrangement is correct,” Qianqian comforted her.

"Sigh! Bai Bing's headache is still a long way off, it's me who's having a headache right now. She's strictly controlling my diet. If I want to eat something outside of the diet plan, I have to avoid my executive agent, for fear of being reported." Tang Yan said, both amused and exasperated.

“You’ve gained a little weight, Bai Bing is right. If you want to lose weight quickly, first control your diet, then exercise. I have experience.” Qianqian reached out and touched Tang Yan’s lower abdomen. She already had a small waistline, and it felt better than before.

"She made me gain weight because she thought I was too thin. In 'Ip Man 2,' I had a scene where I was pregnant, and Bai Bing said the fake belly looked too fake and that my face and arms would give me away. She also made me walk like a pregnant woman and wear the fake belly at home all the time." Tang Yan complained, looking frustrated.

Last year, when filming "Chinese Paladin 3," she had already gained weight once. Director Cai thought she was too thin and couldn't pull off the role of the descendant of Nuwa.

I finally lost weight, and now I'm going to gain it back. I wish I hadn't tried to lose weight.

“Bai Bing is much more professional than my agent,” Xixi exclaimed, then added, “Bai Bing is right…”

puff...

"Haha, are you out of lines? Is this a side effect of performing crosstalk?" Tang Yan couldn't help but laugh.

Sisi smiled and laughed along with her.

The two women looked at each other, and their laughter grew louder and louder.

Liu Jing hung up the phone, somewhat bewildered. What was so funny? Was my sense of humor too high? No, Tang Yan's sense of humor was too low.

"How can they be the same? Bai Bing is a professional agent, while your agent is just responsible for execution. Besides, they get paid differently, so of course their jobs are different too." Tang Yan rubbed her stomach, her laughter finally stopping, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.

"Yeah, I used to have a professional agent too. He was incompetent, so I fired him." Sisi smiled. She was smart and probably guessed what was going on with Tang Yan, so she said these things on purpose.

"Sister Li is indeed incompetent. When people hand her scripts, she asks if the pay is high enough. If the pay isn't up to par, she rejects them all, which has delayed many good films." Liu Jing felt the same way. He and Qianqian used to have the same agent, and Sister Li was indeed not as competent as his aunt.

"Ahem, blockhead, is it possible that Xixi is talking about you?" Tang Yan's expression was strange. How can you keep such a serious expression?
"Impossible. Bai Bing is right, but I taught Bai Bing." Liu Jing denied it outright.

"Bai Bing's mentor is Huo Wenxi, your Baozhu sister." Qianqian said with a wistful expression.

"Really? That makes sense." Liu Jing picked up Tang Yan's notebook, no longer arguing, suspecting that Qianqian knew something.

"What did Bai Bing say?"

When Sisi presented the award to Liu Jing on stage, she smelled perfume.

Liu Jing thought he had dealt with things cleanly, but in reality, he hadn't, and he couldn't hide it from those who were interested.

However, it's normal for two people to pick up some things when they go out to discuss business and are in the same space.

Sisi was only suspicious before, but now she's even more suspicious.

"That 'leading lady' selection process removed you from the list of candidates."

"Hehe, the voting has been going on for so long, and Sissi has been in first place the whole time. They only removed her from the list right before the voting ended. Well, Sissi's name is her name, which means she gets a lot of attention. Now that she's won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actress, it's a bit unfair for her to participate in the Four Little Actresses selection. They just took advantage of the Hong Kong Film Award to remove Sissi's name and harvest another round of attention." Tang Yan sneered, seeing through the organizing committee's little scheme at a glance.

"Wood, what's Tangtang's ranking?" Sisi didn't care; to her, these actions were harmless.

"Currently, Yang Mi is in first place, Shu Chang is in second, Huang Shengyi is in third, Jing Tian is in fourth, Li Xiaolu is in fifth, and Huo Siyan is in sixth. It's highly likely that the final ranking will be among these six. Tangtang is in seventh place, but her chances are slim." Liu Jing's expression was strange.

He just asked Bai Bing if there was any way to get Tang Yan selected as one of the "Four Little Actresses".

Bai Bing said yes, who do you want Tangtang to replace? Replacing Jing Tian is relatively simple, the top three are far ahead in terms of fame.

She was helpless; Tang Yan was someone she was heavily promoting. Even before the selection process began, Bai Bing had already made up her mind to secure a spot for Tang Yan.

Later she gave up, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Shu Chang, Jing Tian, ​​Tang Yan, and the dark horse Nazha, half of the top ten had close relationships with the boss.

If we don't play well, we might easily end up hurting our own people. Let's just let things take their course.

"Sigh! If 'Chinese Paladin 3' had aired earlier, Tangtang would definitely have ranked higher," Xixi said regretfully.

In early April, the TV series "My Youth, Who Decides?" aired on CCTV-1, and Qian Xiaoyang became a hit.

Jing Tian's original ranking wasn't high, but this drama propelled her to fifth place. Xi Xi dropped out, and she moved into fourth.

If the voting can be extended by a few days, it's possible that it could surpass Hwang Sheng-yi's time.

Tangtang is a good friend, as are Shuchang and Jingtian, and Xixi can only express her regret.

If Yang Mi is in fourth place, she would be happy to lend a hand to Tang Yan.

"Don't take this selection process to heart. Results are king; everything else is secondary," Liu Jing comforted him.

"Don't just stand there and talk like that, old man. Go back to your room and lie down. You have to go to Jiahe tomorrow morning, so go back by yourself. Tangtang burned her hand, I'll stay with her tonight." Qianqian rolled her eyes. Your attempt to comfort her is more like provoking her. Compared to those four, Tangtang doesn't have any real achievements.

"I'm fine..." Tang Yan quickly declined, feeling awkward sleeping in the same room with you.

“You have something to say,” Sisi interrupted.

"Okay, I have something to do, you can go back now."

Silly and sweet?
System, are you kidding me? In what way does Tang Yan resemble a naive and innocent girl?

You'd be more believable if Jing Tian were naive and innocent.
