Film and Television: Are the leading ladies using my rewards?

"Really?" Grandma Ma was both surprised and delighted.

How come it's risen more than ten places compared to last time?

However, seeing Ye Bai's calm demeanor, and remembering his consistently low-key and unassuming nature, like a little adult, she asked with a kind smile:

"Is the first place still the student who transferred here last time? Is it you?"

"Wow, Grandma Ma, you're amazing!" Ye Bai gave a thumbs up. "You guessed right! I've won first place this time!"

Grandma Ma wanted to say something more, but her phone rang.

She smiled apologetically, gestured to take a call, and then took out her phone to answer it.

Ye Bai was actually taken aback when he saw that Grandma Ma also had a cell phone.

After all, in the era depicted in the original drama, there were no telephones in the small courtyards of Huajie. It was only because Grandma Ma was in poor health that everyone installed a landline for instant communication.

But then I thought about it again, and it is, after all, a fusion urban drama.

With smartphones, FM radio, and the joy of hand gestures, Grandma Ma is getting old, but she's not at an age where she can't learn. Even if she doesn't like playing with her phone, she can still have a convenient way to stay in touch.

Just then, I heard Grandma Ma say somewhat unhappily to the person on the other end of the phone:

“Siyi’s mother, you treat Siyi like this, and you treat Siyi’s younger brother like this too. Do you even act like a mother?”

After listening for a while, he said again:

“My health is not good, but I can still last a few more years. There is no need to bring Siyi’s younger brother over to give Siyi the company of a blood relative.”

“I am Siyi’s grandmother, not your new son’s grandmother. He has his own grandmother. If it’s inconvenient for you, don’t give the child to me or to her. He is her own grandson.”

"Don't contact me anymore, I'm afraid Siyi will be unhappy!"

Although Ye Bai didn't listen to much, he could tell from just a few words that Si Yi's mother's new husband had gotten into trouble after her remarriage.

She wanted to place her son with her new husband with her former mother-in-law, instead of the child's biological grandmother, in order to seize Grandma Ma's inheritance.

Even so, Grandma Ma spoke calmly and peacefully.

Only at the very end, when worried about its impact on the college entrance examination for arts and sciences, did he raise his voice.

After chatting with Grandma Ma for a while and taking her home, Ye Bai finally left with peace of mind.

On the way, I saw Brother Jun again, oh, it should be Xie Wang and his father, drinking with people, wanting to sell the boat.

Such scenes of elders in distress are generally not meant for younger generations to see.

Anyway, Xie Wanghe could find buyers online later, so he didn't have to help with this matter himself. He carefully avoided it and helped the adults save face.

Then, I went home and began my cultivation!

...

The next morning, when Ye Bai went downstairs for his morning exercise, he was surprised to find that Wang Yidi had appeared in the open space where he usually exercised.

Upon seeing Ye Bai approach, Wang Yidi chuckled and made a disdainful remark.

"You're so slow! I came down to practice my voice at five o'clock!"

Ye Bai shrugged and smiled helplessly.

"I usually meet at six o'clock, but you didn't ask me to meet at five."

"But why did you come here too?"

“My grades are about right, so I need to prepare for the art exam,” Wang Yidi said with a bright smile, clearly in a good mood. “After I came down, I searched for a long time in the neighborhood.”

"I discovered that this is the only place that is well-connected and spacious enough so that practicing my voice won't disturb others' rest."

"I heard there's a rooster that often runs into Ji Yangyang's yard and makes a lot of noise. I can't be the hen."

Ye Bai then asked, "So, what do you want to become?"

"Become..." Wang Yidi's eyes darted around, and she glanced sideways at Ye Bai. "I almost fell for your trick. Can't I just be a human being?"

"I aspire to be a big star, a performing artist, a great writer, will you give me a chance?"

After speaking in a strained voice, she laughed at herself first.

"No, no, this isn't my style. I can't learn it, I can't learn it."

"Hey, you know what I mean anyway. It's the entertainment industry, so it's better to benefit you than others. You'd better be my protector!"

At this point, Ye Bai naturally wouldn't mention his dream of becoming a harem king.

We've been friends for three years, who doesn't know who?

"No problem, I guarantee my backing won't fall, and you can rely on me steadily. But let's not talk about anything in public, let's talk in private."

"Come on, now teach me how to pronounce it!"

Ye Baihu, have Wang Yidi teach you how to speak.

Wang Yidi was even more audacious, immediately getting to work.

"Come on, let your breath sink down, inhale, inhale, inhale again, exhale!"

"Can you feel it? This is the dantian. When you speak from the dantian, your voice will be loud and clear without damaging your vocal cords."

Ye Bai felt Wang Yidi's movements and was speechless: "It's one thing for you to touch my dantian, but what's the meaning of touching my chest muscles all the way down?"

Wang Yidi, however, spoke with conviction.

"You are my support, and it's only a matter of time before I do what I love."

"What's wrong with me enjoying it a little earlier?"

"Let me tell you, I've been lusting after your face and body for more than just a day or two. Watch out, I'm going to raid you tonight, and I'll even kick you while I'm standing up!"

Ye Bai: "..."

She has rebelled against the Heavenly Gang!

Who would stand up and kick their sugar daddy when they face him?

You're really fierce! One tiger isn't enough, you're two! You're so powerful and majestic!

...

At lunchtime, to celebrate coming up with a good method for studying Ye Bai during self-study time, Lin Miaomiao ordered an extra dish of braised pork, on top of her usual meal.

Besides that, she couldn't sleep last night because she was thinking about gaining weight, but then she suddenly realized something.

Even if I gain weight, can't I still get a reward from Ye Bai and lose weight again?

If that's the case, what's there to be afraid of? Eat!

They even started eating snacks, and bought another bag!

Yesterday, Lin Miaomiao asked Deng Xiaoqi to keep an eye on her, and now that she's seen that bag of calorie bombs, she's almost gone crazy.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't eat snacks anymore? You're going to gain weight like crazy! Throw them away, throw them away!!!"

"A real man loves big breasts," Lin Miaomiao said nonchalantly. "I don't think I can gain weight easily. I'll wait until I'm really fat before I worry about it. Right now, nobody can bother me while I'm eating snacks!"

Deng Xiaoqi: "..."

Ye Bai: "..."

The group of brush users: "..."

Yesterday, Lin Miaomiao spoke earnestly, asking everyone to keep an eye on her.

Today she turned against them herself.

We were ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?

Lin Miaomiao, who couldn't read faces, was completely oblivious to everyone's complicated expressions. She even had time to talk to Ye Bai while eating.

"Ye Zi, Ms. Wang wants to thank Li for the reminder and has invited you to her home for dinner tonight."

"So you know what I mean, come with me after school, and I'll take you home for a big meal!"

Ye Bai wasn't sure which time she was referring to.

"Do you skip evening self-study and leave right after school, or do you attend evening self-study?"

"No evening self-study," Lin Miaomiao said, her mouth greasy from eating, still managing to roll her eyes at Ye Bai, "If you finish evening self-study and then go to my house for dinner, and then go home, how late will it be?"

"I can't possibly let you stay at my house for one night!"

By observing how Ms. Wang Shengnan deliberately dressed Lin Miaomiao in those large, black-rimmed glasses that sealed off her good looks, you can tell that she strongly opposes high school romances.

Therefore, anything that might cause problems is definitely not acceptable.

"Remember to come find me then, I'm afraid I'll forget."

Ye Bai agreed, stirred the beef in the ramen a couple of times—it melts in the water—and decided it was best to finish it off quickly before it disintegrated.

After finishing their meal, Chen Rui quietly walked over and subtly tugged at Ye Bai.

Ye Bai: "???"

Chen Rui gave an awkward laugh, gestured elsewhere, and walked over first.

Out of curiosity, Ye Bai gestured for everyone to go first, and then followed.

After Ma Siyi, Su Yunjin, and the others had walked away, Chen Rui asked:

"Ye Bai, do you know how to pursue a girl?"

"I don't know." Ye Bai said this very sincerely.

After all, someone who only knows a few tricks and aspires to be a sea god won't be good at pursuing girls.

"Then you..." Chen Rui winked at the direction Ma Siyi left in, "You're surrounded by so many girls."

Ye Bai said sincerely again, "I didn't pursue her, it was all about attraction."

"If you want to learn, you can first learn how to have my face as a reader dad."

Chen Rui almost wanted to look up at the sky speechlessly.

But judging from Ye Bai's expression, it really is possible?

Curious, he asked, "Then how did you come to have this face?"
