Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

"Jiang Yang, don't make it as long as last time. I have class tomorrow."

"it is good."

Zhang Ruonan heard Jiang Yang agree.

But it soon became clear that Jiang Yang was lying.

The creaking and rattling of the bed didn't stop until late at night.

When she went to the bathroom, Zhang Ruonan staggered a couple of steps after getting out of bed and almost fell.

In the end, Jiang Yang carried her there.

With the shower running and the temperature adjusted, Jiang Yang put Zhang Ruonan down and said, "Ruonan, try the water temperature and see how it is."

Jiang Yang deliberately raised the water temperature slightly.

I've known for a long time that girls' bath water is usually hotter than boys'.

Zhang Ruonan clung to Jiang Yang's neck, refusing to let go. Jiang Yang stood up and found that Zhang Ruonan was still clinging to him.

"Ruonan, what's wrong?"

"No energy left."

"Then you're still holding on tightly."

"My hand is stuck."

Zhang Ruonan clung to his neck, refusing to let go, her cheeks flushed like ripe apples, her voice soft and sweet with a slight nasal tone:
"Jiang Yang, my legs are as weak as jelly, I can't even stand up straight, it's all your fault."

She buried her face in his shoulder and rubbed against him.

Water droplets clung to her eyelashes: "You feel warm all over, even more comfortable than hot water."

After saying that, he felt embarrassed.

Her ears turned bright red, and she couldn't help but steal a glance at Jiang Yang.

Her wet, lukewarm eyes were filled with dependence and joy.

"Please carry me to wash it, I promise it will only be this once, and I will definitely wash it myself next time."

"You said the same thing last time. Who did you learn that from?"

"I taught myself."

"Is it a leap..."

Jiang Yang had barely finished speaking when Zhang Ruonan pressed her lips to his.

After coming out of the bathroom, the two lay on the bed and talked for a long time.

Zhang Ruonan talked about her past as a model.

The conversation then turned to the recent online buzz surrounding Jiang Yang's controversial remarks.

I've never understood why people are willing to believe rumors, even if they're crude and can't stand scrutiny.

The TV in the hotel room was playing a segment from Journey to the West, specifically the part about the real and fake Monkey Kings. Zhang Ruonan was engrossed in watching it when she suddenly remembered something and said:

"Jiang Yang, I think I understand why everyone is willing to believe those negative rumors about you."

"Do you understand?"

"oh, I understand now."

Zhang Ruonan paused, her expression turning somber: "Because this satisfies the voyeuristic desires of a group of people who don't want to understand the real society but only want to satisfy their own emotions."

People don't care about the truth; they only care about whether the story is exciting enough and whether it satisfies their imagination of justice.

Pause for a few seconds.

Watching the television screen, I saw the Six-Eared Macaque reveal its true form.

Zhang Ruonan continued, "They don't care about the truth at all. They only know that you used to be an ordinary person, but recently you've become famous and your career is on the rise, so they want to bring you back to being an ordinary person. Even if they know those rumors are false, they still hope they are true."

Jiang Yang laughed and said, "I'm just an ordinary person."

She felt the gentle strength of Jiang Yang holding her.

Zhang Ruonan watched the scene on the TV screen where the Six-Eared Macaque was in a panic and about to be killed by Sun Wukong's staff.

She sighed softly.

Suddenly, I realized that once you enter this circle and become a public figure, it's like becoming a monkey under the spotlight.

Jiangyang is like this, and so is Chaoyue.

I think my future will be like that too.

To be precise, I'm already like this. On Weibo, will those private messages praising me for being myself and having the courage to change my name one day realize I've really gotten better and start criticizing myself?

Suddenly I understood a lot of things.

Many netizens don't care whether she's acting in movies or TV dramas or performing in a circus; they just want to see when she'll fall off the tightrope.

When she becomes the center of attention, she may truly discover that so many people are waiting to see her fall from grace.

“Jiang Yang, I suddenly feel that everyone has a Six-Eared Macaque living inside them. Even though they know the truth, they still can’t help but throw stones along with the crowd.”

The light from the television screen flickered on her face, reflecting in her wet eyes: "Jiang Yang, I've thought of a terrible scenario. If one day rumors point to me, what if those who are speaking up for me now suddenly turn their guns on me?"

Even now, I still don't understand why Jiang Yang could maintain his composure when faced with negative trending topics.

If it were her, she probably would have had a mental breakdown by now.

She leaned closer to Jiang Yang: "If I were ever treated like this, would you react the same way you are now, or would you calmly tell me, 'Is this what the entertainment industry is like?'"

"I will always stay with you."

Hear the words.

Zhang Ruonan snuggled even tighter into Jiang Yang's arms.

She acts like an adult in the real world, but she can always be a child in front of Jiang Yang. Today is the first time she's been acting cute in front of him.

She tilted her head, pressed the remote control, and continued watching the TV: "To be honest, when I was a kid watching Journey to the West, I didn't even notice that Tang Sanzang was played by three different people. I just thought he was good-looking one minute and ugly the next."

She then asked, "If it were you, how would you tell which one is Sun Wukong and which one is the Six-Eared Macaque?"

The moment the question was asked, Jiang Yang had the answer in his mind.

Both are fake.

The monkey's real cry should be "passion!"
"I don't know either, I'll ask them in the group chat."

Jiang Yang took a picture of the TV screen and opened the [Beautiful Girl Battle 4] group.

Previously, Yang Chaoyue was offered ten yuan to grant him the status of an administrator, but Yang Chaoyue refused.

Jiang Yang threatened Yang Chaoyue that if he did not agree, he would deduct ten yuan from Yang Chaoyue's salary.

Yang Chaoyue agreed.

She personally experienced that losing something was far more painful for her than gaining it.

On the TV screen, photos of the real and fake Monkey Kings were sent to the group chat.

It's so late, everyone's probably asleep.

Jiang Yang edited the text: [@All members, if you were here, how would you tell who the real Sun Wukong is?]
The message just went out.

Suddenly, I heard a notification sound.

It wasn't his phone, nor Ruonan's.

The sound came from the doorway.

"The white paparazzi is back, lurking at the door again!" This thought popped into Jiang Yang's mind subconsciously.

I immediately sensed something was wrong.

The person at the door cannot be Bailu.

Bai Lu is not in the [Beautiful Girl Battle 4] group at all, so it can't be Bai Lu.

Who in the group is in Hengdian?
Besides Zhang Ruonan, there was only one other girl left.

Jiang Yang immediately got out of bed, strode to the door, and quickly pulled it open to grab the person.

Hearing hurried, chaotic footsteps in the corridor outside, already far away, and seeing a figure turning and running away around the corner, Jiang Yang called out, "Yang Chaozhong!"

No one responded.

Yang Chaozhong has definitely been hanging out with the paparazzi these past few days.

In Jiang Yang's imagination, the result of the two of them playing together was that Chao Yue would teach Bai Lu camera positioning, how to perform various emotions of the character, and how to control her breathing when delivering lines.

Bai Lu taught Yang Chaoyue how to walk like a model and how to express herself in still photos.

The likely outcome is that Bai Lu taught Yang Chaoyue to take secret photos, and Yang Chaoyue taught Bai Lu to be greedy for money.

They don't learn the good things, they only learn the bad things.

They're such a pain in the ass.

He has to be there to teach me step by step.

In the [Battle of the Girls 4] group chat, Yang Chaoyue chimed in: ["In the middle of the night, tagging everyone, Yang-ge, are you crazy? You're not sleeping, but everyone else is."]
Jiang Yang replied: ["Are you asleep?"]
Yang Chaoyue sent a message: [“Slept with me? You doubt me? Yang-ge, you're no good!”]
Jiang Yang replied: [“Why are you suddenly so angry with me?”]
Yang Chaoyue sent a message: [“Really? Maybe it’s just morning grumpiness, hahaha…”] (End of Chapter)
