Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 143 The Founding of the Family, Peach Blossom Village Concludes

The next day, as dawn broke.

When Liu Haocun was awakened by the sunlight filtering through the curtains, he was still curled up in Jiang Qing's arms.

She was about to turn over when a tingling, numb sensation in her lower back made her gasp.

"woke up?"

A hoarse voice came from above her head, and a warm palm naturally touched her lower back.

After crossing the line from the most intimate relationship, this level of intimacy seems to have become insignificant.

Liu Haocun sprang up as if electrocuted, but the movement was so violent that he pulled on something and fell back into the pile of pillows, wincing in pain.

Jiang Qing laughed out loud, propping her head up, and watched as she belatedly blushed.

"You can still change your ticket now. Let Chen Duo take you there, and you can rest a bit more."

"No need!"

Liu Haocun pulled the air-conditioning blanket over himself and raised his foot to kick his shin, but the moment his toe touched him, he curled up like a shrimp in pain.

Jiang Qing lifted the covers and got out of bed. The girl watched as the lines of his back muscles rippled as he put on his shirt.

"The crew is going to shoot an explosion scene at 10 o'clock, so I have to be on set by 7:30."

"Go your own way, nobody cares."

Liu Haocun suddenly fell silent halfway through his sentence.

When she saw Jiang Qing adjusting her collar in front of the mirror, she noticed a faint red mark below her neck, and her ears instantly burned.

But when I looked down and saw the red marks on his chest, my mood inexplicably improved.

That's where Zhou Ye left his mark, and the traces she left are above hers. Just thinking about it makes me happy.

Jiang Qing caught her gaze in the mirror, smiled silently, and slowly fastened her cufflinks.

"The 9 AM flight is too rushed, let's change it to the 2 PM flight."

"I have a manicure appointment this afternoon."

Liu Haocun stubbornly retorted, reaching out to grab the short skirt on the carpet, but froze the moment his fingertips touched the edge.

She saw her pink short-sleeved T-shirt hanging crumpled at the foot of the bed, looking like a torn napkin.

Jiang Qing walked over with a playful smile and leaned down to support himself beside her.

"Now you know you have some shame? Where's the audacity you showed when you tore my shirt last night?"

Liu Haocun held his breath as he approached, his gaze wandering and landing on the teeth marks on his collarbone, certain images from last night suddenly exploding in his mind.

She grabbed a pillow and pressed it against his face, shooing him away fiercely.

Go back to filming your movie!

A muffled laugh came through the down pillow. Jiang Qing stepped back to the bedside and looked down at her.

"Chen Duo will deliver the meals at 11 o'clock. Remember not to be wrapped in a blanket when you open the door for him; make sure you're dressed."

"Jiang Qing!"

"here I am."

He laughed as he dodged the flying pillow, walked to the entryway, then turned back and waved his tie in front of her.

"this."

Liu Haocun stared at the dark blue patterned tie, suddenly remembering the absurd thing he had done last night—using it to tie himself to the headboard—and grabbed the lotion next to him, ready to smash it.

Jiang Qing smiled and raised her hand to show weakness, then tapped her exposed calf with her knuckles before leaving.

"Remember to change your flight and get some rest before you set off."

"Don't worry about it!"

The moment the bedroom door closed, Liu Haocun threw himself into the blankets that still held the warmth of Jiang Qing.

The bedside digital clock showed 06:47. The central air conditioner was humming softly. She stared at the swaying tree shadows on the ceiling, then suddenly kicked the air hard.

My phone suddenly vibrated under my pillow, and Zhou Ye's name jumped merrily on the screen.

Liu Haocun stared at the caller ID for ten seconds, grabbed a mint from the bedside table, put it in his mouth, and then pressed the answer button.

"Cunzi, I've arrived at the airport. See you next time!"

"Okay, let's go shopping together next time."

Liu Haocun's voice trembled as he was stimulated by the mints.

"Call me when you arrive in Beijing."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, and before she could react, Zhou Ye's scream suddenly rang out in the receiver.

"Cunzi, what's wrong with your throat! Do you have a cold? An allergy? Or something else?"

"I guess it's because I just woke up! I need to get up and wash up. Talk to you later!"

Liu Haocun slammed down the phone and stuffed the hot phone under his pillow.

Hearing Zhou Ye's concerned voice, she suddenly realized that although she and Jiang Qing had broken through the most intimate relationship, she was not as happy as she had imagined.

She didn't even dare let Zhou Ye know about it.

Although Jiang Qing didn't specifically explain anything, everyone was an adult, and she believed that if she really told Zhou Ye about this, not to mention how her older sister would react, she would definitely have no chance to develop a further relationship with Jiang Qing.

Although the current situation is not quite what she expected, at least her relationship with Jiang Qing has taken a qualitative leap and there is a possibility of further development.

Simply put, I'm already at the table.

At this point, it would clearly not be a wise choice to provoke Jiang Qing.

After figuring it out, Liu Haocun sat up and walked towards the bathroom.

She smelled strange, and now that she was awake, she couldn't stand sleeping like that any longer. A moment later, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

Liu Haocun's flushed ear tips were reflected in the bathroom mirror. She angrily turned on the cold water valve and scooped up a handful of water to splash on her face.

However, I still get angry when I think about it.

She was right to provoke him first, but this was her first time. That bastard Jiang Qing usually seemed so refined, but he was ruthless when it came to bullying people.

And what's wrong with his physical fitness?

Where is there any resemblance to someone involved in technology?
Even athletes aren't necessarily as physically fit as him, it's unbelievable!
Like a robot, they never seem to get tired!
Pooh!
They have absolutely no sense of chivalry or respect for women!

As water droplets rolled down her collarbone, she suddenly remembered something and rushed barefoot into the living room.

Sure enough, there was a torn aluminum foil blister pack on the coffee table, and a sticky note on the thermos next to it read, "Remember to take it after meals."

Liu Haocun's fingers trembled slightly as he held the note, his expression shifting, his cheeks flushed, whether from anger or embarrassment, it was hard to tell.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, making her pink slippers, which she had kicked off the night before, stand out starkly on the carpet.

"Jiang Qing!"

Suddenly, a girl's low, gritting growl echoed through the room.

That day, when Zhou Ye was video calling Jiang Qing in the airport waiting area, he didn't notice that Jiang Qing never showed anything below his head.

When Zhao Jinmai finished greeting Jiang Qing on set, she caught a glimpse of his new achievement and wondered to herself that she was so sleepy when she took Zhou Ye back to his room yesterday, yet she still went to find Jiang Qing afterwards.

Was the sleepiness an act?

Is it still so attractive to be intimate with Jiang Qing?
The girl was suddenly filled with confusion.

After the two girls left, Jiang Qing once again entered immersive shooting mode, so efficient that the crew nicknamed her "Jiang the One-Take". Sun Molong even joked that the more people who visited the set, the better Jiang Qing's shooting results would be.

Based on the current progress, they should be able to wrap up filming by the end of the month.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was July 24th.

Today marks the closing day of Peach Blossom Village.

Since its launch, each episode of Peach Blossom Village has inevitably sparked heated discussions across the internet, and Jiang Qing's explosive popularity has brought the show's level of discussion to a height that even Tencent couldn't have imagined.

Whether it's "Jiangzhou Fishing Lights," "Artistic Encounters," or "650 Radio" and "Performance Art," these keywords have become the focus of heated discussions.

The final episode of Peach Blossom Village, airing tonight at 8 PM, is eagerly anticipated by countless viewers.

Starting in the afternoon, the hashtag "Peach Blossom Village Finale" climbed to eighth place on the trending topics list.

Starting at 8 PM, the top ten trending topics were almost entirely dominated by terms related to Taohuawu.

"Jiang Qinghua's live performance went crazy"
"Jiang Qingzhouye's February Orchid Language" (New)
"650 Radio Three-and-a-Half Sentences Stage" New
"Zhou Ye and Meng Ziyi are on the same side, so don't speak up" (new)
……

What attracted the most attention, or rather shocked netizens, was Jiang Qing's "Blue and White Porcelain" singing performance.

The unedited version of the stage footage released by the program team topped the Douyin trending list with 100,000 reposts per minute.

At 9:27 PM, the hashtag "Zhou Ye listens to Blue and White Porcelain with red eyes" climbed to third place on the trending searches.

The microscope girl captured a 0.5-second close-up of Zhou Ye unconsciously clutching the hem of his clothes as Jiang Qing sang "an unhealable wound."

A fan-made video titled "Wound-Hem of Clothing" used the background music "The Truth Is a Lie" to bring many netizens to tears.

"Meng Ziyi's nail polish color" inexplicably became a trending topic.

Eagle-eyed viewers noticed that Meng Ziyi secretly touched up her cherry red nail polish three times before Jiang Qing went on stage. Beauty blogger @TangxinMeijia discovered that the same shade, "Cherry Slayer," sold out in less than an hour.

Bilibili's "Blue and White Porcelain Cover Challenge" has swept the platform, causing popular content creators to fail miserably.

The top music influencer @BlackCatDetective's off-key video received a million likes, with the top comment being: "Jiang Qingwei's slightest move caused the entire Bilibili up-master to perish!"

The dance area also gave birth to a phenomenal derivative work, with choreographer @小鹿 using a folding fan to interpret a traditional Chinese style version of "Blue and White Porcelain", perfectly timing the opening and closing of the fan to deliver a tearing high note.

What surprised everyone was that Jiang Qing, a tech person, could sing so well. It wasn't just her voice; her emotional delivery was also quite impressive. Many netizens said they had added Jiang Qing's version of "Qinghua" to their playlists.

"Deconstructing the Jiang Qing Phenomenon: An Ideal Personality Model for Contemporary Youth" topped the Zhihu hot list, with a PhD in Sociology from Peking University offering his evaluation.

"He can shine in his professional field and also express a sense of fragility on stage with his amazing singing voice. This perfect blend of rationality and sensibility accurately hits Generation Z's ultimate fantasy of a hexagonal warrior."

A highly-rated reply succinctly summarized: "Other people's older brothers are building up their academic genius personas, while real academic geniuses are teaching how to pick shrimp, top celebrities are buying trending topics, and tech upstarts are casually boosting viewership ratings—this is a dimensional reduction attack."

CP fans were locked in a fierce battle in the comments section. The "Jiang Zhou Yu Huo" party brought out a nine-grid GIF of Zhou Ye sneaking glances at Jiang Qing while waiting for his turn, while the "Yi Jian Qing Xin" party unleashed a 0.5x speed analysis of Meng Ziyi pretending to fall and leaning towards Jiang Qing.

When the battle spread to Douban's Group 8, the "Li Dai Tao Jiang" party suddenly emerged, posting a photo of Li Xueqin handing water to Jiang Qing in a misaligned gaze, causing a three-way melee that crashed the server three times.

Others are one thing, but Li Xueqin?
Next time, please don't drag Spicy Sheep into this too.

The music industry was also affected, with the editor-in-chief of Rolling Stone magazine sharing a video clip of Jiang Qing singing "Blue and White Porcelain" on Weibo.

"It is recommended that major music academies add a course on appreciating 'Blue and White Porcelain,' as this performance has redefined the boundaries between studio singers and live singers."

Jay Chou liked the video and captioned it: "Wow, not bad!"

The film and television industry reacted quickly, and it was discovered that Zhang Yimou's studio was following the Jiang Qing super topic, causing the "Zhang Yimou Jiang Qing" topic to go viral at lightning speed.

Wang Jiawei's go-to photographer, Christopher Doyle, posted his handwritten review on Instagram: "His eyes tell a story."

Netizens are speculating whether both directors are interested in collaborating with Jiang Qing, whether they value his talent, or whether they want to curry favor with their financial backers before this promising tech upstart enters the entertainment industry.

Amidst the heated discussion, many people shifted their attention to the TV series "The Beginning" that Jiang Qing was currently filming.

With this new drama produced by Daylight Entertainment and featuring a male lead like Jiang Qing who already has a lot of attention, everyone is very curious about how the final product will turn out.

Whether Noon Sunshine will continue its good reputation or suffer a setback due to the poor performance of Jiang Qing, a newcomer actress, is a key focus of attention for netizens and industry insiders alike.

In fact, most people are not optimistic. After all, acting is a very mysterious thing. It's not that you can make the audience willing to watch you just because you are a genius in a certain field, or because you are very rich or powerful.

There are many people in the entertainment industry with a higher net worth than Jiang Qing, but none of them have achieved great fame.

Nowadays, most people are just waiting to see what happens, or rather, to see a joke.

You, a tech person, really think the film and television industry is so easy to get by?
Just wait and see what happens to you!
