Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Their noses touched first, then their lips.

Gulnazar's lips were a little dry, but very soft, and trembling slightly.

Her body rose and fell gently in Jiang Yang's arms, her breathing becoming rapid.

Their breaths mingled, warm and moist.

Gulnazar's fingers slowly moved from Jiang Yang's back to his shoulder, and then slid down to the back of his neck.

Their bodies were pressed even closer together.

Jiang Yang could feel the rise and fall of Gulinaza's chest; her heartbeat could be heard through their pressed chests.

Their lips parted and then pressed together again, the movement very gentle.

Gulnazar's eyes were a little moist, but she didn't open them.

The hug lasted a long time.

When they finally parted ways, Gulnazar's hair was a little messy, with a few strands sticking to her slightly flushed cheeks.

Her lips were a little redder than before, and her breathing had not yet fully calmed down.

The two maintained a very close distance, able to clearly see themselves reflected in each other's eyes.

"Jiang Yang, I wish I had met you when I first started out."

"Then you'll be going to jail."

"What?"

“When you first debuted, I hadn’t even developed yet, and I wasn’t as tall as you are now.”

Gulnazar realized what was happening and laughed, "That's true."

Jiang Yang thought about the artists in his company. Tian Xiwei is now an adult, but she hasn't graduated from high school yet.

Bai Lu has come of age; who would dare to mess with this paparazzi?

Ruonan is a college student and an adult.

We can't keep focusing on Ruonan all the time.

It'll be at the supermarket sooner or later.

The attributes that Ruonan obtained should not be wasted.

The schedule shows that Gulnazar's makeup time is fixed, with one hour left from makeup application to final makeup application.

In such a short time, there's no way to do anything else.

They dressed Gulnazar in a water jacket and pants, as well as her costume from the play.

Then do the makeup and finalize the styling.

After explaining the key points of the scenes to be filmed today, Gulnazar was given time to study them in the makeup room, while Jiang Yang left first.

I received a message from Zhong Shujia asking if Jiang Yang would like to talk tomorrow.

Jiang Yang readily agreed.

After all, he kissed the female lead of the drama, so it would be really inappropriate not to give Zhong Shujia some face.

Pushing open the door and walking forward, you'll find the dressing rooms for the main actors, featured extras, and regular extras.

The actors, divided into men and women, lined up in two separate rows so that the makeup artists could apply wigs and comb their hair.

I heard Zhou Qi shouting, "Those of you who lined up to get your hair combed here were here at eight, right? Those who arrived at eight, don't get your hair combed. Those who arrived at eight, go over there."

I passed by the dressing room of the extras.

I overheard the makeup artists chatting inside: "Time flew by today."

"Is it fast? It feels like it's been an incredibly long time."

"You're wearing a back brace too."

"There's no other way. We have to stand all day. Another batch has arrived. Without a back brace, we really can't take it."

An actor noticed Jiang Yang.

Someone took the lead and shouted, "Thank you for breakfast, Teacher Jiang!"

The others looked back.

They all called out to greet Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang was taken aback.

Did he bring breakfast?
He doesn't even have an assistant, so why would he bring breakfast? Bai Lu is still sleeping in right now.

It took a few words of conversation to understand the situation.

It was breakfast that Gulnazar brought in his name.

They're probably afraid that his negative trending topic will be discussed by these extras.

Jiang Yang could sense Gulnazar's good intentions. Walking towards the crew's van, Jiang Yang took out his phone and sent Gulnazar a message: "Gulnazar, did you have your assistant send breakfast in my name?"
Gulnazar replied: ["Yes."]
Jiang Yang edited the message: [“Thank you, Nazha.”]
Gulnazar replied with a smiley face: ["I'm glad you understand my good intentions. I was worried because this is your first public appearance since you were trending online for being attacked. I was afraid that some people would talk about you and curse you behind your back, and if you heard it, it would affect your mindset. I've experienced this kind of thing many times."]
Another message from Gulnazar came: ["Some things are strange. Many extras clearly know that you didn't do those things that are trending on social media. I've inquired about it. A while ago, your reputation among the extras was really good, but after a few days, there were enough people discussing it online, and many people inexplicably tended to believe that you really are that kind of person."

I remember once when I was filming a movie, I fell on set. A bunch of extras saw that I lost my balance, but the next day, the trending topics were all about the male lead deliberately pushing me.

What frustrated me the most was that even the makeup assistant who helped me up was secretly asking others, "Was Nazha really bullied?"

I think the scariest thing about our circle isn't that someone spreads rumors, but that when a lie is repeated a thousand times, even those who have seen the truth with their own eyes will start to doubt their own eyes.

So when I came to the dressing room today and saw the evasive looks in the eyes of those extras, I wanted to do something for you.

They weren't bad; they were just overwhelmed by repeated lies.
For the first time, Jiang Yang felt Gulnazar's spontaneous kindness.

If he hadn't happened to see it, he might not have known about it at all.

He edited the text: [“Nazha, why are you helping me? You didn’t have to do this.”]
Gulina replied: ["Do you remember the time I was most criticized two years ago? It was also in Hengdian. I came out after filming for the day and found that I was trending at number one on Weibo."]
Jiang Yang did not reply.

Silently watching Gulnazar's news.

The chat box shows that the other party is typing: "When I came out that day, I found that everyone in the crew was walking around my RV, and even Zhang Han's WeChat had changed to 'Busy, talk to him later'."

Everyone is trying to protect themselves.

Nobody dares to associate with me.

If someone had helped me back then, even just a little like I did for you, I probably wouldn't have felt that the world was truly beyond saving.

Since then, I have become indifferent, but that has also cost me a lot.

Jiang Yang, I've been through what you've been through. I'm afraid that if no one helps you, you'll become like me, coldly observing the world.

I know how painful it is to be misunderstood by the whole world.

Someone as good as you shouldn't be maliciously slandered like this. Just consider it my way of protecting this rare passion.

Actually, half of these breakfasts today were bought for Gulnazar, who used to hide in her RV and cry back then.

I know it sounds sentimental to say this, but looking at your current situation is like looking in a mirror.

The mirror reflects the lonely, helpless me of the past, while the me standing outside the mirror now finally has the chance to hold her hand and give her a hug.

Just like when I hugged you in the dressing room.

I'm a few years older than you and have been in this industry longer. As a senior, isn't it my duty to take care of a junior? Don't overthink it. I just don't want to see you go through the hardships I went through.
Jiang Yang silently finished reading the message.

He was stunned for a long time.

Smile.

Gulnazar sent another message: ["There's still a while before the makeup session, Jiang Yang, can I hug you one more time?"]
Jiang Yang put away his phone.

At the end of the corridor, around the corner, is Gulnazar's private dressing room.

Knocked lightly on the door.

The door opened, and Gulnazar, dressed in the clothes he had helped her change into, with the makeup and styling he had done for her, said: "Jiang Yang..."

Shh, the door isn't closed.

Jiang Yang closed the door, locked it, and reached out to pull Gulinazha into his arms.

"Jiang Yang, kiss me."

There was a snap.

The lights in the dressing room were turned off.

Gulnazar's breathing suddenly stopped.

She felt Jiang Yang's kiss not land on her lips, but on her trembling eyelids.

I could taste the salty, moist feeling in the corners of her eyes.

The unexpected landing made her grip Jiang Yang's clothes tightly at the back.

He moved down little by little, until he reached the corner of her lips.

Jiang Yang's thumb brushed against the smudged lipstick on her lower lip before the real kiss landed.

Gulnazar was more restrained than I imagined.

And then, the tremor was revealed the moment their lips touched.

Feeling Jiang Yang's hand untying her belt, Gulnazar gently pressed down: "No, Jiang Yang, not here. The makeup session is almost here, and my assistant from the crew will be here soon. Listen to me, you're still young. The extras' makeup room is just around the corner. If they hear us, it won't be good for you. Listen to your sister Nazha, wait until we get back..."

The words are not finished yet.

Gulina stopped speaking abruptly and let out a breath.

In the darkness, I suddenly felt the constraints of the costume loosen.

The belt was untied.

The period costume suddenly became loose and baggy. (End of Chapter)
