Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Chapter 368 Zhang Ruonan's First Kiss (Bonus Chapter for 3000 Monthly Tickets)

Jiang Yang could feel the girl in his arms trembling.

His eyes were tightly closed, and the corners of his eyes were moist.

Jiang Yang wasn't in a hurry. He wanted to calm Ruonan down first, otherwise he would really become the "dog boss" that Chao Yue was talking about.

My phone rang; it was a call from Xu Xiaou.

Ring for one second.

Jiang Yang hung up immediately.

He quickly typed a reply: ["Sorry, Mr. Xu, I'm busy. I'll get back to you in a bit."]
Jiang Yang looked down at the girl in his arms.

There was no Mai Mai's rebelliousness, no Chao Yue's cunning, no Xi Wei's recklessness, and no Hao Chun's naivety. What was presented to him was a sincere and passionate heart.

You must comfort her properly; this has nothing to do with what Zhang Ruonan just said, "I'm a college student now, and I'm an adult."

The phone screen lit up, displaying a reply from Xu Xiaoou:
[“I’ve been watching the live stream. Chaoyue’s song ‘Calorie’ has a great melody, and Haochun and Xiwei’s dance is very steady. Xiaojiang, you have a great idea. Your strategy of using your original song to boost Lu Han’s popularity is working.”]
To put it bluntly, they're just trying to ride on Lu Han's popularity.

Jiang Yang knew that Xu Xiaoou was just being tactful.

Let's wait and see what happens next with Xu Xiaoou.

An old fox won't praise someone for no reason.

Xu Xiaoou's message followed:

"But this is a trick that only you can pull off, because you have to make a good start, make Lu Han appreciate the song you created, and really satisfy Lu Han's fans at the scene."

Jiang Yang, to be honest, I'm more interested in your song "Rose Boy" than in calories. There's a lyric that goes, "You are you, or you are fine," why use the word "you"? I always feel the lyrics of this song have more depth than they seem. Is there a story behind them? How about we collaborate?
Jiang Yang pretended not to see it.

I don't have time to reply.

Xu Xiaoou has a sharp eye; seeing the character 'you', she most likely also spotted the business opportunity within it.

After this live stream, if "Rose Boy" becomes Lu Han's representative work, its popularity will last for a long time, and Xu Xiaoou will realize that there is an opportunity to make money from it.

Jiang Yang placed his phone screen face down on the coffee table.

Am I someone who likes money? I believe in light more. No matter how important making money is, it's not as important as Seven in my arms.

Jiang Yang raised his hand to wipe away the tear stains on Zhang Ruonan's cheeks, and put his arm around Zhang Ruonan's waist.

He let Zhang Ruonan sit on his lap.

He held Zhang Ruonan in his arms.

"To be honest, Ruonan, I've seen videos of you walking the runway as a model before. You wore the most ordinary white shirt, yet you exuded the most dazzling aura on the catwalk. At that time, I felt that this girl was destined to shine."

Zhang Ruonan raised her head, tears still welling in her eyes: "But when I was a model, many of my colleagues said I was too stubborn."

Showing more skin would fetch a higher price, but she stubbornly refused to cover it up.

He could earn more money by refusing to lay a hand on her, so he stubbornly refused to take such a job.

and also.

Knowing that no matter how much money I give my parents, they will not be satisfied, I still stubbornly believe that my parents will understand.

In the words of Mr. Lu Xun:
Refusing to expose her skin, refusing to flatter the powerful, and even wanting to change the name given to her by her parents, such stubbornness will surely lead to suffering in this world, yet she has stubbornly persisted to this day, stubbornly persisting in this small place.

The old photos on my mother's WeChat Moments were like a gentle trap, almost making me forgive the pain that had been ignored all those years.

"stubborn?"

Jiang Yang laughed and said, "That's because they don't know how to appreciate it. It's this stubbornness that makes you able to film outdoor scenes in the cold winter wearing a thin dress, and you dare to change your name even if you're labeled as an actress. This is how you get to give an exclusive interview at the filming launch ceremony, so that everyone can see it after it airs and remember the name Zhang Ruonan."

Exclusive interview...

Zhang Ruonan's eyes trembled.

Suddenly I understood something.

That exclusive interview was something Jiang Yang had arranged specifically for himself.

He wasn't on camera during the live stream, but backstage. I understand Jiang Yang's intention in doing so.

Because I am different from Chaoyue and the others, even though I have been a model before, I have never experienced this kind of scene. In addition, I am already affected by the mindset of changing my name today. If I were to be interviewed on live TV, I might be too nervous to speak.

Looking back at the questions the reporter asked earlier, several of them had nothing to do with the TV series "Fighter of the Destiny".

Rather, it's related to her own personality.

They even asked several questions about my name.

I initially thought it was a challenge, but now I realize it was a way of taking care of me.

Because they didn't speak well, the reporter would help them come up with words and repeat them several times.

Suddenly realizing that it was Jiang Yang, using the opportunity of Lu Han attracting huge traffic at this press conference to make everyone remember the name Zhang Ruonan.

Unlike Chao Yue, who already has a somewhat famous role, or Xi Wei and Hao Chun, who can dance and are memorable.

Simply.

Jiang Yang directly made sure the audience remembered his new name, Zhang Ruo—Nan.

The noise outside fluctuated, sometimes loud, sometimes soft, in bursts.

Be quiet for a few seconds.

Yang Chaoyue then sang the chorus of "Calories," shouting in a shrill voice, "Burn my calories!!!"

Amidst the cheers of Lu Han's fans, the music roared even louder.

Zhang Ruonan pursed her lips, tentatively wrapping her arms around Jiang Yang's neck, her fingertips trembling slightly.

Seeing that Jiang Yang did not refuse, she wrapped her arms around Jiang Yang's neck, her fingertips were icy cold, and pressed her cheek against Jiang Yang's shoulder.

There was a moment of tension.

Then relax slowly.

His voice trembled and muffled: "I understand, Jiang Yang, I understand everything, I'm not in so much pain anymore."

She had half a breath left in her mouth: "But I still want to hear you say more..."

Jiang Yang gently placed his hand on Zhang Ruonan's back.

You can really feel the outline of the shoulder strap.

Like comforting a child, he gently stroked Zhang Ruonan's back: "Every step you have taken, from model to actress, from Ruonan to Ruonan, is a story you have written yourself. From now on, every role you play and every appearance you make will prove to the world that Zhang Ruonan is not just a name, but a new life."

Zhang Ruonan hugged Jiang Yang tightly and whispered on his shoulder, "Thank you for making me believe that I can be more than just Ruonan."

Jiang Yang lowered his head, his nose brushing against Zhang Ruonan's: "Thank you for letting this world know Zhang Ruonan."

His lowered gaze was fixed on Zhang Ruonan's trembling lips.

Both of them stopped talking.

Approach slowly.

Their lips touched, paused slightly, Zhang Ruonan shrank her neck, and then hugged Jiang Yang's neck even tighter.

Feeling awkward and stiff, I dared not move.

The muscles in her back tensed instantly, and her fingers gripped Jiang Yang's clothes even tighter.

He subconsciously swallowed, his throat bobbing with a stubborn, all-or-nothing determination.

Suddenly, Yang Chaoyue's singing outside the venue stopped, as did the exclamations of Lu Han's fans.

The sound of a heartbeat drowned out the noise.

Suddenly I understood.

A heartbeat can be deafening.
