DBAFSC Ch 25 : Survival Strategies For Watching Dramas On Livestream

The entire 'Dawn' livestream was stunned into silence.

Eight cast members and a host were watching the drama with serious expressions on their faces.

Except for Bao Ruanruan.

She wasn't even solemn.

Instead, she asked loudly, "Who's going to save him..."

When her shouts were ineffective, she began to pray, "Dear Buddha, I promise to be a vegetarian for a day; please bless him..."

She started to curse when her prayers didn't work, "Ah, I won't let you off even if I become a ghost! You're a traitor to your brothers and countrymen. May you descend to the eighteenth level of hell!"

[...! Holy cow, that's satisfying!]

[Oh my God! I finally feel better! I've been holding this in since the last episode! That feels so good! Well said!]

[Applause! This beauty curses beautifully!]
[Give me more!]
[I'm joining in; the traitor deserves to die!]

The barrage of comments suddenly became lively.
Influenced by Bao Ruanruan's atmosphere, the other cast members also began to join the 'condemn the traitor' army.

The livestream, which had been silent and gloomy, immediately turned into a united front against the enemy.

Bao Ruanruan was so engrossed in the drama that she didn't notice the voices of the other cast members coming through her earphones. Some of them even echoed her, "You really deserve to die..."
This sentence startled her.

"Ah, did I forget to mute my microphone?"
"Oops!"

She immediately covered her mouth in surprise.

[...WTF.]
[Haha, sorry, I shouldn't laugh while watching such a serious drama with such a tense plot.]
[Me too... I suddenly burst out laughing. Excuse me.]
[Help, what are you doing, beauty!]

Bao Ruanruan didn't want to make a sound; she just wanted the camera to capture her facial expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness without stealing the spotlight from the other cast members. Unexpectedly, she just made a mistake.

She couldn't help but regret it.

"It's all because the whole cast acted so well." Her muttering was faintly picked up by her microphone.

The male lead in the live stream, Wu Zhijin, was nearly forty years old and had been the leading man in military films for many years.
Although many fans loved his dramas, he couldn't help but be moved when he heard this young girl's voice through his earphones.

Today was the first time he had experienced something new - live-streaming.
He was a bit nervous, and his body was tense.

But now, this young girl, a junior in the same crew, suddenly praised him so sincerely that it dispelled all his discomfort.
It was as if he had taken a sip of wine and was slightly tipsy.

"Not at all; everyone has acted well."

The pressure and confusion of going live disappeared for the most part. 
This caused Wu Zhijin's heartstrings to loosen immediately, and his limbs relaxed.

He had been in the industry for over ten years and had worked with countless young casts. He could tell the difference between sincere praise and superficial flattery.

This little girl on the live stream, who had prayed for him with all her heart and even cursed without worrying about her image, clearly showed that she was truly immersed in the plot!

This reminded Wu Zhijin of an eighty-year-old man he met five years ago. After watching a drama in which he played a leading role, the old man was so angry that he ended up in hospital with high blood pressure.
When Wu Zhijin visited the old man in the hospital, the old man praised him for acting so well!

When he thought about this experience, Wu Zhijin felt a sense of joy.

He even turned off the live stream microphone in his hotel room.

Turning to his agent, he asked, "Xiao Tu, isn't there a shortage of actresses for the doctor role in our current drama? They need a girl, right? You recommend this... Xiao Bao to the director."

"Ss!" His agent frowned. "Brother Wu, she seems to have a bad reputation and some emotional problems."

Wu Zhijin didn't spend much time online and disliked gossiping.
So, he didn't know about Bao Ruanruan's situation.
This was the first time he had heard about it.

He frowned and asked, "Will you get so angry watching the drama that you'll start praying for me like she did?"

Agent Xiao Tu: "...Brother, do you mean...?"
He was being overshadowed, wasn't he?! 

Who hadn't been young? Who hadn't had relationship problems? 

Wu Zhijin waved his hand and said, "As long as a person's roots are good, they won't make big mistakes."

...

Bao Ruanruan was utterly unaware of these things.

When she realised that her reaction had been transmitted through the microphone, she was seriously startled.
But she quickly noticed that the comments on the screen weren't scolding her.
This made her feel slightly relieved.

Everyone is so kind.

She could finally watch the drama in peace again.

But not long after, she felt terrible again!
The female lead's teacher had been publicly executed by firing squad.

With a bang, the set of the scene became a bloody mess.
Then, the hero fell.

"Woo..."
This time, she remembered that she shouldn't speak or be too loud lest she steal the show from the other teachers.
She immediately grabbed two tissues.
One was to cover her eyes, and one was to cover her mouth, which was making whimpering noises.

"Woohoohoo..."
Then she saw the teacher's body kneel down, twitch once and then never move again.

She immediately burst into tears.
She couldn't control her sobs at all.

Why do people have to die?

Isn't it better for everyone to live happily ever after?

"Woohoohoohoohoo..."
The other actors in the live broadcast room began to speak actively, expressing their deep condolences for the teacher's passing.

But there was always a sound in the background, intermittent, sniffling, like a broken heart.
Unable to speak loudly, Bao Ruanruan could only cry pitifully in a low voice, as if she was about to lose her breath and faint from crying, the low whimpering sounds coming in waves.

Host: "!"
All cast members: "!!"

The person's face at position number 8 was no longer visible on the screen.

Her damp eyes were stuck with tissues.
Beneath her straight, delicate nose, her slender hands covered her mouth.

A string of tears could be clearly seen falling from her snow-white cheeks.
And her shoulders, clad in a white shirt, shook uncontrollably as she sobbed.

[!! It's so heartbreaking!]
[She looks just like me now!]
[Help! I didn't want to cry, but now... my tears... are flowing down by themselves.]

[I told myself to be strong, but as soon as I heard the young lady crying, I... I couldn't help but sob.]
[I've been crying all the time, and now I can't stop! I'm at home howling along with her!]

[I'm crying hard too.]
[My head hurts from crying.]

[I can't see the screen anymore; I can't wipe my tears in time. My tissues have become just like hers, sticking to my eyes without needing to be held...]

[Finally, I have someone to cry with! I've been crying alone for the first six episodes, and nobody understands this feeling! ]

[Ah ah ah, is this live broadcast being recorded? I want to download it, there are so many more episodes to come, I'm sure I'll cry a lot, let this sister cry with me!]

- #Chen Feng: You're gaining fans! #

Bao Ruanruan was crying so hard that she had a headache and was out of breath when a message popped up on her phone.
She looked down.

"?"
What's going on?

Wuwuwu.

So sad.
Today is truly a sad day.

[Awww, the beauty is crying in perfect sync with me.]
[Sobbing as if her breath is about to stop, save the beauty, scriptwriter, make a rescue plan.]

[The tissues are falling off from her eyes from the crying.]

The tissues fell because there were too many tears.
They became so heavy that they fell from her smooth, delicate face...

Because her eyes were blurred with tears, Bao Ruanruan felt that she couldn't see the drama clearly and unconsciously sat closer to the live-streaming phone.

In an instant, a face with tears like pear blossoms and light pink eye corners appeared in the eighth grid on the screen.

The beauty silently shed her tears.
Her tears were like raindrops.

Tears welled up in her eyes, each one like a crystal, clinging to her long, curled eyelashes.

Her red lips, which she had just covered in an effort to keep from crying aloud, were now slightly swollen. They seemed overly vivid against her snowy, wintry complexion.
They were like red plum blossoms in the snow.

Among the eight actors on the screen, most of the men had sun-darkened faces due to the military theme, while the actresses had a simple and dignified appearance.
Only Bao Ruanruan had a hint of fragility and delicateness and a touch of dazzling charm.

It happened as soon as she appeared on the screen.
This character, originally in the bottom right corner, smaller than the main characters, became the centre of attention!

[!]
[A huge beauty transformation!?]

[Help, did God see me crying so hard that He sent me a beautiful lady to comfort me?]

[I mean, hey beauty, did you walk into the wrong broadcast room?]

[!!! In the blink of an eye, what's going on! Did my eyes go wrong? How can such a stunning beauty appear in our military film!? Beauty, who are you playing!?]

[I haven't seen her in the drama, have I?]
[...Wait, isn't this beauty Bao Ruanruan?]

[???]
[It's her! You guys didn't just recognise her, did you? I thought it was her the first time I saw her in the frame, and I even followed her on Weibo!]

[!]

The barrage was in an uproar.
Soon, it sparked more discussion.

[Was she the one who caused a scene at the wedding before?]
[Laughs, it was the engagement ceremony.]

[Damn, little sister, you're a white lotus beauty!! I'm instantly turned off by you.]
[I was going to follow her after the live broadcast, but I think I'll pass now.]

[Why did the crew find a risky artist to promote live broadcasts? What role did she play? It won't affect the entire drama being taken off the shelves later, right?]

[! Damn, I'm scared! Don't ruin my drama!]

This year, several film and television works have been ordered removed from the shelves because of the artists' improper behaviour.

Now that there was a risky artist in the drama, everyone panicked.

For a while, the praise for Bao Ruanruan died down, and voices of doubt began to emerge.

[Sigh, if this beautiful woman really has to act, she should just go to those idol dramas!]
[Yes, her face is obviously not suitable for military dramas.]

Bao Ruanruan was crying so hard that she didn't see the floating comments.
She leaned listlessly against the back of the chair, panting softly.

"Tsk, pretend, pretend again! I knew you would be exposed sooner or later!"

In front of the computer, Tang Xi slammed the table with great satisfaction as she watched Bao Ruanruan's decadent image.

Tang Xi was the group leader of Tang Fan's Core Group 23.
Their entire group was conducting a thorough investigation into Bao Ruanruan and the scumbag.

Since her family's elders were soldiers, Tang Xi was tasked with investigating Bao Ruanruan's appearance on the live broadcast of the military drama 'Dawn'.

Tang Xi had always felt that Lu Wenyue was not a good person.
But one hand couldn't clap by itself1, she didn't think Bao Ruanruan was innocent in this matter.

She must have exchanged resources with Lu Wenyue.

Otherwise, how could a modern, stunningly beautiful face like hers be acting in a simple, military-themed drama?

"She's pretty good-looking..."
Bao Ruanruan looked delicate and frail, as if she could easily be swayed by the wind, and her features were a bit glamorous.
It was obvious that her appearance was really not suitable for serious dramas!

However, just as Tang Xi was about to close the livestream and stop watching Bao Ruanruan, a scene from the seventh episode played on the screen...
A cautious, nervous young female student firmly caught her attention.

Tang Xi's eyes lit up.

This female student had slightly dark skin and a few freckles on her face.
Her eyes were clean and clear, but there was a hint of obvious panic and nervousness in her eyes.

As soon as she appeared on the screen, she was particularly eye-catching.

Tang Xi had loved watching military dramas since she was a child.

She liked Tang Yuxin back then because she played the role of a soldier who moved her deeply.

The wheat-skinned, plain-looking student actress on the screen took Tang Xi right back to three years ago.

"Whew..."
Tang Xi immediately forgot about the task at hand.
She stared intently at the female student on the screen.

The female student was on a mission.
She had to deliver a message to her contact!

Without any lines, Tang Xi could tell that the female student was on her first mission.

Although the student's eyes pretended to be calm, a hint of vigilance, nervousness, and panic was still clearly visible.
Even though she was scared, the female student still had a determined look on her face.

"She has spirit!"

With just one look, one expression, Tang Xi believed in this character.

This little actress is extraordinary!
Her acting is amazing.
She's very talented!

Tang Xi had watched countless military dramas, and she could tell at a glance that this little actress was born for serious dramas.

She was unlike most actresses who pay too much attention to their looks nowadays.
They were too beautiful to be staring in a serious drama.

Even if their clothes were shabby, their expressions were still full of self-promotion, like 'Am I pretty?', 'Like me', 'Follow me on Weibo'... 
It was so over the top that it was a real turn-off for the audience.

For so many years, Tang Xi hadn't found many young actresses suitable for military dramas.

Sister Yuxin had already done it, and now she mainly worked in the film industry and didn't set foot in TV dramas.
As for the others... Tang Xi really couldn't think of a suitable female lead!

Finding another drama that caught her interest took a long time.

I didn't expect it to happen today! She had discovered another piece of jade!

Today, this actress plays a supporting role, but in a few years, she will be the lead!

Tang Xi was excited.

Moreover, if one looked closely, this female student's temperament and side profile angles were somewhat similar to Tang Yuxin's.
But she was a bit different. She had a very fragile, yet very stubborn, extreme conflict beauty.

This kind of beauty was simply breathtaking on the big screen.
One looked at her, and your heart would be captured by her.

If she was given some time, she could achieve even more than Sister Tang Yuxin!
Her future was limitless!

Tang Xi had an epiphany.
She suddenly wanted to cultivate this little actress!

But - it wasn't long before she was stunned by the scene she saw in the livestream.

"Bang!"
With this sound of gunfire, this young, anxious female student who was trying to deliver the mission information had been discovered by the enemy!

The female student's wheat-coloured face twitched.
Her eyes, which had been drooping, not daring to look directly at the passersby, trembled slightly.

This gunshot made her legs wobble, and she almost fell to the ground in fear.

Meanwhile, Tang Xi - instantly had difficulty breathing!

The girl was only seventeen or eighteen years old. In peacetime, she would still be in school, but at that time, she had to endure such a terrifying life-and-death scene.

Tang Xi's heart ached.

But just at this moment of despair, when Tang Xi was about to cover her eyes, not wanting to look any further, the weak and immature female student unleashed a sudden burst of energy—

When the enemy behind her was about to catch up, she bit her lip as she ran, like an arrow flying off the string, carrying her schoolbag!
On the whole street, there were stalls on both sides, and pedestrians coming and going.

In the twinkling of an eye, the female student had slipped into the crowd, agile and nimble!

Under the sweeping long shot, her accelerating footsteps could be seen—her skirt billowing as she ran, swiftly weaving between passersby and street vendors dressed in colours similar to her school uniform!

In one breathless burst of energy, she sprinted over ten metres!  

!

!!

This escape is too professional!

Tang Xi found herself holding her breath.  

Who choreographed this scene?
It's got such a Hollywood chase vibe!  

The scene was tense and thrilling!

Although it might have felt a bit out of place in a military drama...... it wasn't jarring.

This was because the female student was clearly fleeing for her life.  

From the long shot alone, the audience could see her pale, sweaty face, messy, swaying braid, and tightly clenched fists turning red with exertion.  

Her desperate struggle to escape death was so authentic that viewers couldn't bring themselves to nitpick. Instead, they felt an overwhelming ache in their hearts.  

"So talented."
Tang Xi thought, remembering her early days as a Tang Yuxin's military drama fan.  

Tang Yuxin had nailed her expressions back then, but her movements lacked coordination.
In contrast, this young actress brought an effortless, natural brilliance to every gesture and expression.  

She made it feel so real.
In fact, she had just surpassed Tang Yuxin's performance at the same stage in her career!  

But just as Tang Xi was getting excited, the girl on the screen was shot!
She immediately collapsed to the ground.  

"Ah!" Tang Xi gasped.  

The long shot lingered on the girl's final moments.  

Clutching her chest, her face was filled with reluctance.
The tears she had held back for so long finally spilt over and mixed with the pain in her eyes. 

Even as she lay on the ground, her chin remained defiantly raised—refusing to bow her head. 

She stretched out her hand and struggled to crawl towards the handover point, gritting her teeth. Her eyes scattered but unwavering........

A little bit more, a little bit more......
The blood that stained her body left a long, bright trail behind her......

In the twilight, she pointed to the east where the dawn was about to come like a compass.

It wasn't until her opened eyes saw the dark clouds dissipate that her face finally dropped!

"Woo......"
Tang Xi - instantly covered her mouth.
Help.
She let out a whimper, just like Bao Ruanruan's reaction video.

She couldn't help but burst into tears!

[Oh my God, I cried even harder than when the teacher was shot just now with the way this female student acted!]

[Woohoo, me too, I thought she could escape! Why, woohoo, screenwriter, you can't do this; please be a human being!]

[Aw, this little actress is amazing; why did she receive her boxed meal2 so soon, I'm heartbroken, I'm numb!]

[The final shot symbolises her crawling towards the dawn! This scene points to the title of the drama, comrades!]

Tang Xi's eyes were filled with tears, and she saw a number of comments floating by. Some people were discussing this topic, and she couldn't help but press her hands on the keyboard.

[TangDou3: Thank you for inviting me to join the discussion. I have 13 years of experience in watching military dramas.

I think her performance can be called the iconic shot of the first seven episodes!

At that moment, the spirit she conveyed was like a spark that would never go out. It elevated the whole drama to a higher level, making it a truly shining moment, the perfect finishing touch.
(Talking about medical issues like how far you can crawl after being shot is pointless because that can already be called art).

Don't argue with me... even if you do, I'm still right.]

Tang Xi showed off her wealth on the live stream bullet screen by purchasing a VVIP coloured bubble for her comments.

[Hey, you are such a rainbow fart4 expert brother.]

What rainbow fart!
Tang Xi refused to admit it, insisting that everything she said was the absolute truth, without any exaggeration.

Tang Xi picked up her teacup and took a sip of water.
Instead of watching the live stream, she switched over to the Jiangcheng app, found the seventh episode of 'Dawn', and rewatched this specific scene.

Just as she reached the scene of the student crawling, something happened.

"Xixi, what movie is this?"
She was watching her favourite scene when her grandfather, who was holding a thermos, passed by.

Tang Xi forcefully swallowed her tears and grinned, "It's called Dawn."
Her grandpa had a whopping 36 years of experience watching military-themed films, probably even more.

"This seems pretty good. Is it on TV?"

That one scene alone had her grandfather hooked and ready to binge-watch the drama.
Tang Xi proudly replied, "I'll put it on for you!"
As expected of her, she had found another up-and-coming actress with great potential.

But as she stood up, Tang Xi saw a comment on the screen. She recognised every word on it, but together they formed a sentence she didn't understand.

[I can't believe my Ruanruan's acting has improved so much! Wahhh, my precious girl, Ruaruan, you've finally made us proud!]

This message floated above the fallen female student.
This student only showed one side of her profile...
It showed her wheat-coloured skin and freckles, and she was wearing black-framed glasses with bangs...

Tang Xi: "???"

Wait a minute...

This is... Bao Ruanruan!?

Tang Xi was shocked and in disbelief. She had watched Episode 7 ten times!
Just as she was about to collapse from shock...

Her core fan group of 23 suddenly started buzzing with messages.

[Tangdou234: @all, have any of you noticed that Bao Ruanruan looks like someone in this drama?! About three or four per cent similar.]

Tang Xi: "!?"

[Tangdou3434: Ahhh, I thought I was the only one who noticed; I was too embarrassed to say it! When she fell, half of her face was stained with blood, and in the shadows, her profile looked like Sister Yuxin!]

Tang Xi: "!"
She had just thought the same thing!
But... to be honest, Bao Ruanruan's beauty was even more striking (bushi🔗)!

"No, you managed to avoid it."
Chen Feng shook his head and showed her a screenshot of the comments.
"Later, the people who scolded you began to praise you and apologise, asking when you would appear in another military drama?"

Bao Ruanruan: "?"

"Oh, and because of the character filter, they decided not to criticise you for a week."

Bao Ruanruan: "..........."
Only one week?
Listen to this—do these netizens sound reasonable?

OK, yeah.
They sound reasonable enough.
One week is still good, though.

"I'm grateful to them, haha."
Bao Ruanruan's smile couldn't be contained.
Then, she could enjoy herself to the fullest this week.

Xue Jing's peach blossom eyes twitched as he watched her reaction.
So ridiculous.

So ridiculously beautiful.

"Ahem, the modelling competition will be recorded tomorrow, and the organisers have sent the preparation topic in advance - animals."
"You should prepare yourself and just do your best."

Bao Ruanruan blinked.
There was no such thing as 'do your best' in the carefree her's dictionary this week.

But as soon as she turned her head around to suggest purchasing a medical-grade air purifier for the house and ask for an advance on her appearance fee, she saw Xue Jing reclining in the back seat, holding his phone horizontally and crossing one leg over the other.

Her heart skipped a beat. "Are you playing a game?"

Xue Jing raised his eyes, his peach blossom eyes flickering, "No."

Ah.
Sure enough, it wasn't him.
What was she thinking?

Bao Ruanruan turned around in disappointment, "Oh."

Xue Jing lowered his gaze, manoeuvred the little figure on the screen to a safe zone, and switched to work mode.

Playing games?
Nope.
He never plays.


*

Elegant Pavilion Scenic Residences of Jiangcheng.
Lu Residence.

As Father Lu was not in a good mood, Tang Yuxin, who had initially planned to stay until after dinner, could only hurriedly finish her lunch and leave.

Lu Wenyao had a splitting headache, but he still invited his father into the study to explain his mistake this time.

When he came out of the study, his face was as grim as ever.
His tense nerves made his head ache terribly.

Just as he was about to look into the competitor, Jingtian International, a lively figure with yellow hair burst in!

"Big Brother! I'm back!"

"Let me tell you, this show is so exhausting! Nobody wants to work, and I have to clean up after them. I'm so busy that I don't even have time to sleep. It's more tiring than dancing!"
Lu Wenhao babbled.

Lu Wenyao frowned. His headache was getting worse, and he found his brother to be too loud.
"Everyone is tired. Everyone can handle it fine, so why can't you?"
His mood worsened.
He couldn't hide it anymore, and these words slipped out.

Lu Wenhao was stunned.
He had originally wanted to show off, to prove that he was better than Cheng Yao.

He never expected to be scolded by his older brother.

He froze for a moment.

Usually, it was his big brother who understood him best.

Feeling troubled, Lu Wenyao also realised that he had said the wrong thing: "Are you getting along well with Bao Ruanruan?"

Upon hearing this question, Lu Wenhao immediately suppressed his discomfort.
His mind flashed back to his interactions with Bao Ruanruan over the past few days.

"She's quite... um... not good."
Since getting close to Xiao Mengfei, that person had forgotten about him, her 'idol'.

"Xiao Mengfei is the same. Big Bro, you don't know how clumsy she is, even when sweeping the pig..."

Lu Wenhao babbled on.
He never had any secrets from his big brother and wanted to share everything with him.

But before Lu Wenhao could finish speaking, Lu Wenyao interrupted him impatiently.
"Xiao Hao, I still have things to do; you go and rest, too."

Lu Wenyao didn't care about Xiao Mengfei at all.
He didn't even know who she was.
Listening to his younger brother talk, who was unfocused and lacked information, was a waste of time.

Lu Wenyao turned around and left, hurriedly going to deal with the follow-up of the scenic spot bidding.

Lu Wenhao looked at his brother's retreating figure as his open mouth couldn't close for a long time.

He sat down on the sofa.

He suddenly remembered that when he was filming in Hengshan, Bao Ruanruan, though impatient and a little afraid of him when he spat out angry words, had still handed him a cup of tea.

But from the moment he walked in, ranting and raving, his Big Brother....... just turned around and walked away?

Lu Wenhao's cool yellow hair shook.
But he soon slapped his forehead.
"What am I thinking? Big Brother is very busy. How can he have time to pour me water?"

He was fine once more after thinking of this reason.

The family gathered again for dinner.
After dinner, Lu Wenhao sat on the sofa with his mother and watched the stage performance, "Mom, I'm telling you, their stage is much worse than mine."

Although Mother Lu didn't quite get it at first, she eventually did after listening to her son explain it repeatedly.
"I know; you created your own finger dance moves, right?"

"Yes." Lu Wenhao smiled secretly.

Lu Wenyao just happened to come down from the study at that moment. "What are you two talking about?"

"We're talking about your brother's stage,  his so-called original creation."

Lu Wenyao glanced at the TV and nodded, "Not bad. Little Brother has indeed improved. This move is clean and neat."

Lu Wenhao was stunned for a moment.

Mother Lu laughed, "That's someone else on TV, not your brother."

Lu Wenyao was stunned.
He was so dizzy today.
However, he could never tell who was who.
In boy bands, every member dyed their hair and wore heavy make-up, but when they performed, no one got much screen time.

With the camera shaking all over the place, how could he even tell who was who?

"It's my fault. I didn't see it. This person's back looks a bit like Xiao Hao's." Lu Wenyao patted his brother's shoulder, "Tomorrow, Big Brother will give you a car to make up for it."

Lu Wenhao lowered his head for a moment.
He couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.

Did that person's back look like his?
That guy was a rapper.
While he himself was a lead dancer.

They were as different as heaven and earth......

Besides, their group had a cute boyish style, while his group leaned more towards mechanical dance style...

Totally different.

Lu Wenhao lowered his head and hummed reluctantly.

His big brother was indeed very busy, much busier than Bao Ruanruan.
So she knew his speciality was finger dancing, but his big brother...

Lu Wenhao took a deep breath.

He tried to force a smile.
Even though he understood the reasoning.
But still, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.

*

"Good job. Teacher Yuxin is back with the crew, and I'll give you credit for that."

As soon as Bao Ruanruan stepped into the 'Model' filming studio, she caught the admiring gaze of the tall and slender Qu Ji'en, casually leaning against the door.

Bao Ruanruan: "?"
What's this?

"She went to visit the Lu family today, and it seems like it wasn't a very pleasant experience. She just posted a picture of a cloudy day on Weibo."
Qu Jin'en was sincerely grateful.
"Ahem, thank you so much, Xiao Bao,"

Bao Ruanruan: "????"
What did she do?
Even she didn't know what she had done!
