Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

The words were not finished.

Tian Xiwei pressed down on him, and Liu Haochun immediately bent his knees.

My instinct was to kick it away.

Lift your knees slightly and then lower them.

She gently pushed Tian Xiwei, a sly smile playing on her lips, yet also a hint of coquettish resistance.

I felt Tian Xi gently kiss my neck.

"Holy crap, this is an eyesore." Yang Chaoyue quickly closed the door. "This was truly a thoroughly satisfying sexual harassment."

Liu Haochun was naturally unwilling to play mahjong.

Even after Yang Chaoyue and Tian Xiwei left, she received a message from Jiang Yang shortly after arriving at Jiang Yang's room, asking if she wanted to come over, to have some fun, and that she could learn if she didn't know how.

We're just one short for the three of us.

Liu Haochun refused again, adding, "[I don't gamble.]"
Jiang Yang sat at the mahjong table, counting the tiles. He had just finished discussing the game with Tian Xiwei and Yang Chaoyue when he saw a message from Liu Haochun and laughed out loud: "Haochun is always like this, so rigid. Is she like this when you're with her?"

"It hasn't always been like this."

Yang Chaoyue laid out mahjong tiles: "Just a couple of days ago, Haochun forgot to bring a folding chair to the set, so he squeezed in with me and fell asleep. I noticed that Haochun drools even when he's sleeping. Bailu took a picture of it and said she'd make it into an emoji and send it to her when she had time. Hahaha, Bailu is so naughty, I love it."

The next day.

early morning.

Liu Haochun reached for his phone, turned off the lights and alarm clock, and drowsily headed to the bathroom to wash up.

I only realized it when I squeezed out the toothpaste.

My scenes are in the afternoon today, so I don't need to get up that early at all.

I immediately crawled back into bed and went to sleep.

I tossed and turned a few times, but still couldn't fall asleep.

Sigh, I've gotten into the habit of waking up early lately.

As soon as the alarm rang, I rushed to wash up, thinking that if I had the chance to sleep in, I would definitely sleep a lot.

I'm actually finding it a little strange to be able to sleep in now.

Hurried footsteps could be heard outside.

It was the voices of Tian Xiwei and Yang Chaoyue.

"Oh no, I'm going to be late."

"I'm going to get yelled at by the director again."

"Hurry up, Xiwei, Yang-ge has been on set for a while now and is urging us in the group chat."

"You're one to talk! Chaoyue, why are you wearing hotel slippers out like this? Hurry up, let me press the elevator button for you. Don't bother buying breakfast later, Jiang Yang brought some for us from the film set."

"Oh, my good boss."

……

The voices of the two people outside gradually faded into the distance.

Upon hearing this, Liu Haochun smiled.

Even without seeing them, just by hearing their voices, one can imagine how Chaoyue and Xiwei were hurrying on their way.

I don't know why, but I feel very at ease.

Being with these friends has been filled with arguments, joy, and hard work, but also times when they annoy me to no end.

But I feel like this is life.

A very fulfilling life.

Liu Haochun had a faint smile on his lips, but he still couldn't fall asleep.

My phone suddenly vibrated.

I received a WeChat message from my mother: ["I received so many messages yesterday, sorry Haochun, I only saw your Mother's Day message today."]
Liu Haochun replied with two words: ["Mhm."]
She continued typing. In a better mood, she became more talkative: [“Mom, the film set next to mine is for ‘God of War Zhao Yun,’ a big production. Yesterday I went to that set to teach one of the actresses from my company a scene. Her name is Bai Lu. She had many takes and couldn't get it right. I taught her for half an hour, and she acted exceptionally well. The director even praised me. Chao Yue is the top actress in my company, and she told me to let her teach her acting, hahaha.”]
The message has just been sent.

My mom replied with just one word: "Mmm."
After a few minutes.

My mom sent another message: [“Teaching you acting? Have you even figured it out yourself? All you do is show off this useless stuff.”]
When Liu Haochun sent the message, he was still curled up in bed with a smile that hadn't faded from his lips, his finger hovering over the screen, waiting for his mother to say "You're great" or "Take care and get some rest."

When you can see your mother's reply.

The smile seemed to be extinguished by cold water, freezing on his face.

The temperature of my fingertips dropped.

Stare at the words "show off" and "useless".

The joy I was about to share has suddenly turned into a heavy sense of loss.

She clearly wanted to make her mother happy and tell her that she could do things well outside, but all she got in return was negativity.

I instinctively wanted to refute it.

I want to explain to my mother.

I want to tell my mom that she teaches others to hone her own acting skills.

But then I thought, my mother would never listen to these things.

Before, at home, if she tried to defend herself, she would be accused of talking back and being immature. Over time, she lost the courage to even argue back.

But this time.

I still want to give it a try.

Liu Haochun pursed his lips and typed: [“No, Mom, I wasn’t showing off, I’m just happy and wanted to tell you about it.”]
Mom replied: ["You get all cocky after the director praises you a couple of times. Isn't that just showing off? You've always been like this since you were little. You want to tell the whole world about any achievement you make."]
Mom continued: [“Chaoyue is the top female employee in the company, who are you? Stop using others to elevate yourself and make yourself seem so great. If you’re so capable, show me some results.”]
"School awards and exam rankings are all meaningless. True success comes from being capable in the real world. When I took you to meet Jiang Yang, I told you to stick close to him, but did you? What are you doing hanging out with Chao Yue and that new guy from the company, Bai Lu? Isn't that a waste of time? You should practice dancing more. Last time I saw you swaying while spinning; it was embarrassing."
Liu Haochun's smile faded.

Her outstretched legs curled up.

My body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Looking up, for a moment I realized I wasn't in my room at the Hengdian Marriott Hotel.

Instead, it was in my hometown in Jilin.

The room where I lived with my parents.

Outside, I could hear my parents arguing; they were always arguing about various things.

We only agree on things when we are educating or criticizing her.

A buzzing sound in my ears.

Liu Haochun pulled up the blanket to cover himself.

Thinking of Ruonan, she bravely became Ruonan.

Will I one day transform from Hao Chun into Hao Cun?

She typed text on the screen, typed and deleted, typed and deleted again, finally leaving a sentence: ["Mom, I've been staying close to Jiang Yang, and I've always tried to behave well in front of him."]
When Liu Haochun sent the message, his fingers were clenched.

This is not what she truly felt.

That's a lie.

Because she didn't stay with Jiang Yang the whole time on set.

Bai Lu spends far more time with Jiang Yang than she does.

I said that because I knew my mother wanted to hear those words.

Liu Haochun stuffed his phone into his pillow.

Then, just like when I was a child and got scolded, I buried my face in the blanket and took a deep breath.

Hiding away seems to shield me from those negative words.

They heard Tian Xiwei's laughter outside, urging Yang Chaoyue to hurry up.

Suddenly, I had an urge to go to the set with her, even though she didn't have any scenes to film that morning. (End of Chapter)
