Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Bai Lu smiled with narrowed eyes: "Ziyi, of course my boss isn't after your money. He's more interested in his reputation. If he trains your acting well, his reputation as an acting coach will spread."

She felt Jiang Yang's hand, which had been pinching her buttocks, gradually loosen.

Bai Lu knew then that she was right.

Done.

Without Jiang Yang's prompting, Bai Lu obediently stuffed the steamed bun into her mouth this time.

Ruonan, who had also entered Jiang Yang's room that night, was also gagged.

Ruonan is no longer as timid as before.

Know how to take initiative.

She didn't have any professional dance training, unlike Hao Chun and Xi Wei who can twist their waists, but she's awesome at it.

The next day.

She woke up in Jiang Yang's arms with slightly swollen lips.

Jiang Yang caused all this trouble.

At night,

Zhang Ruonan's voice was hoarse.

So much so that when he woke up, he called out to Jiang Yang and subconsciously called him "Dad".

I shouted that word last night and my voice is hoarse.

I really don't want to shout it like that.

But Jiang Yang likes it.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The May Day holiday is over, filming is finished, and it's time to go back to school.

Come back when filming wraps up.

After breakfast, Zhang Ruonan boarded the film crew's small RV, which was essentially a nanny van.

Those large RVs are usually only used for short periods when the group is parked at the site; they are very inconvenient to travel in and cannot be driven fast.

Height restrictions apply in many places.

This small van seems more practical.

"Where's Chaoyue? Hasn't Chaoyue come yet, Dad?"

"What did you call me? Ruonan, it's not dark yet."

"Hey! You're taking advantage of me."

Zhang Ruonan quickly changed her tune.

She didn't dare look Jiang Yang in the eye, but she knew he was definitely smiling.

I'm getting to know Jiangyang better and better.

If it were a crowded place, Jiang Yang would have interrupted her even before she uttered the word "father."

The fact that Jiang Yang can joke about this shows that there are no outsiders around.

"Phew, it's so hot outside today." Zhang Ruonan got into the car and looked around, only to find that Jiang Yang was the only one in the car.

The air conditioning in the car was on.

It's no longer for heating, but for cooling.

Zhang Ruonan pressed the back of her hand to her flushed cheeks and took off the scarf she was wearing.

"It's getting hot in Hengdian. Your school must be sweltering too. Luckily, our filming won't last much longer; it'll be wrapping up soon." Jiang Yang looked at the Weibo data on his phone.

The rate of increase in followers has slowed down.

His name also dropped on the trending topics list.

Zhang Ruonan got into the car and glanced at the front seat.

There is definitely a barrier, so the driver cannot see what's behind them.

The curtains in the windows were also drawn.

Zhang Ruonan hesitated for a moment, then closed the car door: "Can I come to the wrap party?"

"Of course! Xiwei, Chaoyue, Haochun, and Bailu will all be there," Jiang Yang said with a smile. "This might be the most we've ever gotten together. Once things have developed further, we might not have this kind of opportunity again..."

Jiang Yang didn't finish speaking.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruonan pressed her lips against his.

Zhang Ruonan initially sat on the seat next to Jiang Yang, but gradually moved into Jiang Yang's lap.

One hand was around Jiang Yang's neck, and the other hand was pressing on the back of Jiang Yang's head.

It took them a while to separate: "I have to leave again. I'll miss you. I really want to take you to my university so you can attend classes with me and be my classmate."

"How about I take the college entrance exam and apply to your school?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your grades are so good."

Zhang Ruonan stared at Jiang Yang, remaining silent.

His gaze shifted from Jiang Yang's eyes to his lips, he swallowed hard, and then kissed him.

My knee accidentally hit the side of the carriage.

It kept making muffled thuds.

Yang Chaoyue was wearing a baseball jacket.

I didn't wear pigtails or a bun today.

Her hair was casually clipped back with a hair clip. After seeing Ruonan off, she had to go to the set of "God of War Zhao Zilong" to film a special scene.

She walked out of the hotel holding her phone and saw the nanny van parked at the entrance.

I've ridden in this car many times. The first few times I had to check the license plate, but now I don't need to. I can tell it's a film crew just by looking at the car model and color. Jiang Yang and Ruonan were waiting for her in the car.

Yang Chaoyue is video chatting with his mother.

In the video, the mother cannot be seen, only her voice can be heard: "Yueyue, you don't need to send money anymore. Just give me three thousand a month, that's enough. We don't need to spend much money here in our hometown, not even rent."

I was originally talking to my mother.

Right now, Mom is taking my younger sister to school, and the video camera is flipped up to use the front-facing camera.

You can clearly see the younger sister carrying her schoolbag, heading to the village primary school.

After my mother and father divorced, she remarried and moved to the next village.

Yang Chaoyue had been to his younger sister's primary school in the next village many times. The size of his sister's primary school was similar to that of the primary school in his hometown, Wanggang Village.

In the video call, you can see the rusty iron gate of the primary school not far away.

The cement pillars on both sides were painted with faded white paint.

My younger sister walked ahead unsteadily, as if she hadn't woken up yet. The straps of her backpack were of different lengths, and she wore cartoon socks inside her plastic sandals.

"Kailing! Walk properly, what are you doing twisting around like that!" Yang Chaoyue suddenly shouted fiercely.

The sound came through the mother's phone speaker.

Yang Kailing knew that her mother behind her was video chatting with her sister and could hear her sister's voice.

Turning to her mother's phone camera, she said, "I..."

Yang Chaoyue didn't hear what his sister said. A group of ducks were walking by in a line, making a lot of noise with their quacking.

The roads in my rural hometown are often like this.

Villagers who raise ducks will get up early to release them into the river so they can eat the duckweed in the river or fields, and then herd them back home in the evening.

I could see my younger sister walking towards me, becoming more upright.

After chatting with my mother for a few minutes.

Seeing his younger sister swaying as she walked, Yang Chaoyue continued fiercely, "Kailing, does my word not count? Who taught you to walk like that?"

Yang Kailing turned around and pouted, "Sister, my socks are torn."

"what?"

Yang Chaoyue was taken aback.

That's when I noticed that there was a hole in the heel of my sister's socks.

It's not just socks.

The soles of the plastic sandals were cracked, and when I put weight on my heels, it was easy to step on the gravel on the ground. Walking with my body tilted to one side was actually more comfortable.

So when I go to read, I walk with a swaying gait.

"Won't Mommy get you a better pair of shoes, Kailin?"

“My mom also told me to change, but I’m used to wearing these. These are fine, and I can still wear them.”

"Doesn't it hurt your feet?" Yang Chaoyue asked.

"What's the big deal? Everyone does it."

All like this?
As Yang Chaoyue's mother was dropping her younger sister off at the school gate, she noticed the students with their backpacks on, laughing and playing around at the elementary school entrance.

First, look at their shoes.

Some shoes have staples used to fix the glued joints that come undone, making a clanging sound when you run.

The red string is tied to the side where the plastic strap is broken.

Some people even wear yellow rubber boots on sunny days.

Some of their clothes were stained with mud, and some had tied their red scarves backwards, turning them into capes as they ran around showing them off to their classmates.

Some shared a spicy snack with their classmates, tearing it into strips and eating it together.

There were no jewelry or designer bags.

I've gotten used to living in a big city.

Most of the people I'm meeting now are wealthy.

The hotel I stayed at had thermostatic showers as standard equipment.

The face mask I'm wearing is an SK-II mask given to me by the film crew; each one costs over ten yuan.

Without realizing it, I've become somewhat accustomed to this affluent life that I never dared to imagine before.

But every time I see the children from my hometown, it still stirs up memories in my heart.

Those are each and every version of ourselves from the past.

He could have been studying properly.

They could have had a bright future.

I didn't need to be numb and indifferent on the assembly line.

The hometown I once desperately fled has become the purest moonlight in my dreams.

"Does everyone wear these worn-out shoes?" Yang Chaoyue blinked a few times and asked.

“Being a little bad isn’t so bad, sister. Weren’t you like this before?”

"Yes, I used to be like that too."

"That's it then, we're all the same. Bye-bye, sister, I'm off to school!"

In the video, Yang Kailing saw the student sitting in front of her in her class.

I get along best with her.

She was her good friend. When the teacher assigned homework and asked students to recite the texts together, she would always recite with the student in front of her.

I don't like my deskmate.

Because she was sullen, often swore, couldn't win fights, and her farts were especially smelly.

Yang Kailing waved at the camera, turned around and shouted her best friend's name in the direction of the school gate, then ran over with a swaying gait.

I chatted with my mom for a bit.

He reminded his mother to urge Kailin to study.

After hanging up the video call, Yang Chaoyue wiped his eyes, recalling the few words his sister had mumbled in the video.

Everyone is the same.

"Since we're all in the same boat, I'll buy it for everyone."

If I were still working at the factory, my first thought would be to deliver good shoes to every household.

She no longer thinks that way.

Because I followed Brother Yang, I experienced a lot.

I witnessed Yang Ge being cyberbullied, and then public opinion reversed again.

I remember seeing actors getting into fights during auditions because of the long queues.

Even on film sets, the fact that different groups have different menus for their boxed lunches can spark suspicion.

If you want to do good deeds, you must first have the means to protect yourself.

Otherwise, it will cause a lot of trouble.

If she had followed her previous idea and sent the shoes directly to the children in her hometown, the parents might not have said anything to her face, but they would have wondered in private why she only sent shoes and not money.

They questioned whether they wanted to harm their children.

Families who don't receive their shoes a few days later might teach their children to isolate the child who wears the new shoes.

More serious ones.

Parents will sell the new shoes at a discount to secondhand dealers.

In the end, the shoes that were given away for free couldn't even be worn by the child.

Having come from humble beginnings and having followed Jiang Yang for so long, he never underestimated the evil in human nature.

What is the most appropriate course of action?
do not know.

I'll ask Yang Ge later. I always feel like Yang Ge can solve anything... except for the fact that her big yellow dog always tries to lick Yang Ge.

Yang Chaoyue pulled on the door of the nanny van at the hotel entrance.

The car doors were found to be locked.

"Why is the door locked? Weren't you just sending a group message saying that Yang Ge and Ruonan are in the car?"

Yang Chaoyue raised his hand and slammed his fist on the car door, shouting, "Open the door, Yang-ge, Ruonan, what are you two doing? Seriously, it's so hot outside, let me get in the car and enjoy the air conditioning!"
