“What’s with that expression? You requested me to inform the reality.”

“Sure, you are proper.”

“Tch.”

The 2 of them lay in mattress and randomly chatted about this and that. It was already late at evening. They needed to get up early the following day for a recording, but they weren’t drained in any respect.

Wen Li hadn’t completed talking, she had so many questions she wished to ask him.

For instance, when Track Yan dropped out of faculty to behave in motion pictures, was it due to her?

Had Track Yan by no means forgotten about her all these years, or did he plan to start out a brand new relationship till they reunited two years in the past on the purple carpet as a result of their youthful love wasn’t too burdensome?

The wedding proposal Track Yan made again then, he really did not want it in any respect. The so-called homosexual rumors have been simply excuses. So was all of it for her?

He patiently answered one after the other.

“En.”

“You have been so charming, I could not overlook.”

“Though it is a bit far-fetched, fortunately you are silly sufficient to consider it.”

This appeared like a teasing comment to him. Wen Li glared at Track Yan with a fierce expression.

Track Yan shut his mouth, however his lips nonetheless curved upwards.

Wen Li did not argue with him and continued, “I nonetheless have extra questions.”

She was much more talkative at the moment in comparison with the earlier time when she was drunk.

However now her coronary heart gave the impression to be floating within the air, dizzy, virtually much like being drunk.

“Ask your questions.”

Wen Li had by no means deliberate to ask him this stuff in her total life.

For instance, in the course of the 12 months she was working towards abroad, she silently adopted the information about Track Yan in China. What about him?

Later, when she returned to China, she discovered that Track Yan had already fulfilled his dream forward of her. So with a aggressive and chasing mentality, she additionally grew to become an actress. Did he know?

She watched each film of Track Yan, together with these by which he solely had a cameo and appeared for a couple of minutes. Did he ever watch her TV dramas?

Track Yan stared at her blankly.

Wen Li dodged his gaze and stated with a sulky tone, “Simply to make clear, I am simply asking randomly. I am not likely desperate to know, .”

The sheets rustled as Track Yan leaned over and kissed the nook of her lips.

As he smiled, his eyes grew to become moist once more.

It turned out that the unhappiness of youth may be so mild and candy, making one really feel a mixture of envy and heartache, but nonetheless smile.

“…Go on along with your questions.”

“I wish to make you happier,” Wen Li stated vaguely, hesitantly, “Even in case you was once a giant block of ice, I do not dislike you.”

It was he who initially handled her indifferently, so she raised her standing accordingly.

Wen Li thought he was actually wonderful. So long as he labored exhausting at one thing, he would certainly succeed.

Be it in lecturers or performing.

Though she was smug, she would by no means deny another person’s excellence.

Track Yan was the “excellence” she personally locked onto.

“How about it? Are you happier now?” Wen Li turned her head to take a look at him, then froze, “What’s fallacious with you at the moment? Did you possess the spirit of Daiyu…”

She wasn’t Baoyu’s brother, so she could not console Daiyu.

Wen Li hurriedly wiped away his tears and clumsily comforted him.

However his reply contaminated her as nicely, making her eyes and nostril really feel bitter.

In the course of the 12 months she was overseas, Track Yan typically visited international web sites and checked the record of trainees on the abroad company’s webpage to see if her identify was on it.

Track Yan took her dream as his personal, wanting to face underneath the highlight she longed for, so he grew to become an actor. He watched her works, each single one, witnessing her progress and progress in entrance of the digital camera.

—”You stand on a bridge and admire the surroundings, whereas the individual on the constructing seems to be at you. The brilliant moon adorns your window, when you adorn another person’s dream.”

They have been each the folks on the constructing, unknowingly adorning one another’s goals.

Now, two clusters of sunshine lastly embraced one another.

They talked all evening till the sky began to brighten. Lastly feeling too drained to proceed, they reluctantly closed their eyes, falling asleep in one another’s arms.

——

Final evening, there was a steady alternate of bodily intimacy within the early half of the evening, adopted by a deep emotional connection within the later half of the evening, which resulted in neither of them being woke up by the alarm clock on the ultimate day of filming.

It was the assistant who got here to knock on the door to wake them up.

Lily, the chief make-up artist of Wen Li’s crew, had been within the business for a few years and was the most effective by way of skilled expertise. Extra importantly, she knew how one can apply make-up in a means that maximized the artist’s facial options. Lots of Wen Li’s excellent make-up seems to be have been created by her.

With the rise of actuality exhibits, artists now not pursued intricate and glamorous make-up. Below the scrutiny of the truth present cameras, they wished a pure look that hid even the slightest pore, as if their cheeks have been naturally flawless. This was a typical request from feminine artists to their make-up artists.

Wen Li was no exception, and he or she additionally knew that irrespective of how costly the muse was, it could not examine to naturally good pores and skin. So she took additional care of her pores and skin in her day by day life.

However at the moment was an important day.

Wen Li proactively instructed, “Give me extra concealer. It is also okay if the make-up feels heavier. In any case, the post-production will add filters.”

Lily sounded involved, “Did you not get sufficient relaxation final evening?”

A feminine star’s face was valuable. Lily could not assist however really feel sorry for Wen Li when she noticed her complexion trying so poor.

Wen Li’s tone was cheerful, “No, I slept very well.”

“Then what time did you fall asleep?”

“Round 5, I feel.” Wen Li wasn’t positive and turned her head to ask Track Yan, “Was it round 5?”

Track Yan had completed getting ready quicker than her and was presently sitting on the facet, ready for her make-up to be carried out.

He nodded, “Shut to 5.”

Then nobody else spoke as their ideas wandered in unknown instructions. Solely Wen Li’s assistant, Wen Wen, took a second to react and innocently requested, “You slept at 5? What have been you and Trainer Track doing earlier than 5?”

As quickly because the phrases left her mouth, she instantly acquired a glare from Lily.

Wen Wen immediately understood and reacted.

She glanced at her sister secretly and observed that Wen Li was yawning once more. Then she checked out Trainer Track, who unexpectedly yawned as nicely.

Hehe.

Wen Wen chuckled to herself.

It wasn’t till Wen Li completed her make-up, able to go downstairs and be a part of the manufacturing crew for the ultimate day of filming, that she known as out to Wen Wen and requested her to assist together with her bag. Solely then did the naive assistant snap out of her daze.

On the final day of filming, since Wen Li, Track Yan, Qiu Hong, and Chen Zitong have been all in the identical metropolis, the script had organized for them to movie collectively. They have been tasked with finishing the sport missions arrange by the manufacturing crew at a chosen location on the campus.

Wen Li had borrowed Chen Zitong’s college uniform the day gone by. As a result of the uniform skirt had been lifted up all through the evening, it remained clear. Nonetheless, because of the extremely indescribable nature of the method, she felt embarrassed to return the college uniform.

Chen Zitong did not thoughts; it was only a college uniform.

Two nights in the past, Wen Li immediately went to her room and stated she wished to borrow Mingfeng’s college uniform. At first, Chen Zitong was puzzled.

It wasn’t till the workers instructed her that Wen Li had worn Mingfeng’s college uniform final evening and ready a shock for Trainer Track on the Fireworks Sq. in Yingde.

So all that effort was for a shock.

“It is alright. The manufacturing crew has ready a number of units for me. I can put on a brand new one. I am going to let you’ve that set,” Chen Zitong blinked and stated with a significant tone, “If Track Yan likes it, you may put on it for him at house sooner or later. Oh, bear in mind to show off the digital camera.”

Wen Li: “…”

From simply listening to that, it was clear that Chen Zitong and her husband have been clearly extra skilled on this regard than she and Track Yan. Each time they felt that they could not let the manufacturing crew movie at house, they by no means forgot to show off the digital camera.

——

After a day of joint recording, the 2 {couples} agreed to satisfy once more in the course of the subsequent out of doors capturing after which went their separate methods.

Earlier than Chen Zitong entered college, her grades in a sure cultural topic weren’t excellent. So her household particularly discovered an outdated trainer to assist her with tutoring, guiding her step-by-step to enhance her grades. Now that the trainer had already retired and now not taught, dwelling within the college workers quarters together with her husband, Chen Zitong did not wish to disturb the trainer. So it wasn’t till this system was completed that she purchased some items and went to go to the trainer with Qiu Hong.

As a way to give the trainer a shock, she did not inform the trainer upfront and deliberate for a sudden assault.

Sadly, it wasn’t a great timing. The trainer had gone on a visit together with her outdated girlfriends, and solely her husband was at house.

“I stated we should always have known as upfront,” Qiu Hong sighed.

Chen Zitong had no phrases in response. She had give you the concept on a whim. If she hadn’t returned to her alma mater to movie the present, she would not have chosen this time to go to the trainer.

However since somebody was house, it wasn’t a wasted journey so long as the items arrived. She would come again to go to the trainer when she had time subsequent.

The trainer’s husband poured them a glass of water and stated helplessly, “I simply despatched a pupil off, and unexpectedly, one other pupil got here. My spouse’s luck is unbelievable.”

Curious, Chen Zitong requested, “In addition to me, there have been different college students visiting the trainer at the moment?”

“Sure, one other feminine superstar,” the trainer’s husband stated, “However I do not watch a lot TV, so I can not bear in mind her identify.”

As he stated that, the outdated man turned on the TV.

“I bear in mind they have been airing a TV drama she acted in these previous few days…”

Now it was summer time break. The favored dramas from earlier years can be replayed repeatedly to earn scores. The drama presently enjoying on TV was a dressing up drama that had been a giant hit a couple of years in the past.

“Hey, it is this feminine superstar,” the outdated man pointed and confirmed them.

Qiu Hong was shocked for a second and hesitantly requested, “Is not this Wen Li?”

The trainer’s husband immediately realized, “So her identify is Wen Li.”

Chen Zitong regarded on the acquainted face on the TV drama. Simply at the moment, that they had filmed the variability present collectively within the morning.

Yesterday, Wen Li had particularly requested her to borrow Mingfeng’s college uniform to organize a shock for Track Yan. She had thought that Wen Li discovered Mingfeng’s college uniform extra engaging, so she requested to borrow it.

Based mostly on their age, Wen Li needs to be two grades beneath Track Yan. When Track Yan was in his third 12 months of highschool, Wen Li had simply entered her first 12 months.

If Wen Li actually attended highschool overseas, she would not want to return again to China particularly to discover a trainer for tutoring within the cultural topics required for the school entrance examination.

This business was prone to rumors, and the upper an artist’s reputation, the better it was for his or her privateness to be uncovered. Even on Chen Zitong’s personal encyclopedia web page, sure experiences had been deliberately erased or altered.

……

Chen Zitong: “Previous Qiu.”

Qiu Hong: “What’s fallacious?”

“I feel I’ve found some explosive details about Track Yan and Wen Li,” Chen Zitong stated with a severe tone.

Qiu Hong was startled by her tone and swallowed nervously, “How… how explosive?”

“If we promote it as an unique scoop, we would earn this quantity,” she gestured together with her hand, indicating a quantity, “As a bonus, Weibo would even be crashed.”

Qiu Hong widened his eyes in astonishment and instantly reached out to carry his spouse’s hand.

“Did considered one of them cheat?!”

“…”

Within the span of some brief minutes, Qiu Hong wrestled between cash and conscience. Ultimately, he struggled to say, “Spouse, settle down. They’ve too many followers, and the extra followers they’ve, the extra shippers they’ve. If we confront them, our followers will certainly lose to theirs, and we’ll be closely criticized.”

“…”

That wasn’t essentially true. If her speculation was appropriate, Salt Grain CP followers may even thank her when the time got here.

——

Whereas Qiu Hong and his spouse have been considering, a complete week had handed, and the eighth episode of this system was airing. Presently, Track Yan and Wen Li have been fully unaware that Qiu Hong and his spouse had already found one thing.

Director Yan had already greeted them, saying that after the eighth episode aired, they’d do a charity livestream. The content material wasn’t necessary; they have been simply requested to react to it.

Audiences these days take pleasure in watching artists’ reactions. Some artists have a great sense of selection exhibits, with a number of jokes and phrases. Simply them sitting there making feedback can entertain the viewers. Wen Li was a typical instance.

The livestream was scheduled for Saturday night at 7:30, half an hour after the primary episode aired. The aim of this half-hour was primarily for preheating, to hype up the ambiance within the livestream room.

The workers adjusted the gear and made an “OK” gesture. Wen Li rapidly placed on a smiling face and greeted the digital camera.

“Good night, I am right here with Trainer Track once more. In half an hour, we’ll watch the eighth episode collectively.”

「Good night.」

「Wen Li, my valuable daughter-in-law, kiss-kiss!」

「Why aren’t you sporting a college uniform for the livestream! I wish to see the college uniform model of Salt Grain Couple!」

「The college uniform within the preview is superb. I’ve already imagined a campus candy story for 2 days.」

Many of the barrage feedback have been in regards to the preview. Wen Li had been busy recording a expertise present this week and hadn’t had time to observe the preview. However the earlier episodes have been all recorded on location, with none indoor scenes, so there should not be any accidents.

Wen Li was curious and requested, “Why are you all speaking in regards to the preview? Is it good?”

「Might the preview of Salt Grain Couple be something however good? It is a joke if it does not development each week.」

「If it is not good in simply thirty seconds, I might unfollow instantly.」

「It is good, however too brief.」

「The few seconds of the fireworks within the sq. are so lovely.  There are nonetheless twenty-five minutes till the primary episode. I actually wish to watch the whole model.」

Wen Li regarded on the workers outdoors the digital camera and stated, “Ought to we present the preview now?”

Earlier than the workers may reply, the barrage began flooding once more.

「As a substitute of watching the preview, let’s watch Mrs. Grass’s fan-edit video.」

「Yeah, let’s watch Mrs. Grass’s video!」

「I am going to bleed for that video.」

「Hundreds of individuals will bleed!!! Please go watch it, Mrs. Grass actually deserves it!!!」

The followers within the barrage forcibly advisable a sure video to the couple. Some followers have been fearful that the barrage was scrolling too quick for them to see, in order that they modified their ID names to ship items.

Wen Li and Track Yan had clear roles within the livestream. Wen Li was in command of the variability present vibes, whereas Track Yan was a newcomer to selection exhibits and could not communicate nicely, so he was in command of studying the record of followers who despatched items.

“Thanks for sending 15 submarines, ‘Go watch your newest CP fan-edit video’. That is an extended identify,” Track Yan completed studying the ID names and chuckled.

He learn a number of extra fan IDs, and following the followers’ needs, Wen Li nodded and requested, “Then let’s watch it. Which video is it?”

The barrage as soon as once more flooded the display screen with lengthy net web page hyperlinks.

An array of English and numbers within the hyperlinks overwhelmed Wen Li.

“Simply inform me which app to observe it on and what to seek for. I am going to have the workers discover it for me.”

The barrage began collectively suggesting app names as a result of the video title was lengthy, and the followers have been too lazy to sort it, in order that they instructed trying to find the blogger’s identify straight.

「Simply seek for Mrs. Grass’s identify.」

「Her identify is Magnificence Grass Sanli.」

「Mrs. Grass, are you watching the livestream? Your video is being advisable!」

「It is most likely each fan fiction author’s dream to have their work seen by the primary character. Mrs. Grass, you have fulfilled it!!」

“Trainer Wen,” the workers liable for looking on the pc could not see the barrage and requested, “What is the blogger’s identify?”

“Magnificence…” Wen Li paused for a second and stated, “Cao (cǎo) Sanli.”

「Is not it pronounced with the fourth tone, not the third?」

「It is a homophone. Cao (草) means ‘grass’, thanks.」

「Overlook it, learn it once more! Appropriately studying followers’ ID names is the essential respect for followers, okay?」

Wen Li’s mood flared up, and he or she began arguing with the followers, “Cannot you guys be rather less overboard? Speaking about homophones, as if I’ve by no means taken a Chinese language class?”

「Lu Xun: I think you are mocking me.」

「Warning: Unfollowing.」

「Are you arguing with followers once more? #WenLiIsIlliterate# Let’s get her on trending!!」

At this second, Track Yan calmly learn out a present {that a} fan had simply despatched.

“Thanks to the ‘Magnificence Grass (草) Sanli. ‘Cao’ is pronounced with the fourth tone, which implies ‘grass’. It sounds a bit much like ‘cǎo’ (操), so we request Magnificence to teach your uneducated spouse’. Thanks for sending 20 skyscrapers.”

Wen Li: “…”

Wen Li questioned what sort of livestream platform this was the place IDs may very well be so lengthy. She questioned if there may very well be some standardization concerning the size of IDs.

「We do not love you anymore. CP household, let’s have Magnificence pronounce it with the third tone.」

「Do you not know the character ‘cāo’1?」

「As a person, how will you not know the character ‘cāo’! Track Yan, I am disillusioned in you!」

Wen Li silently criticized in her thoughts. How may he not know? He knew all of it too nicely and was additionally proficient in it in sure conditions.

“I do know,” Track Yan calmly defined himself, “However this character shouldn’t be appropriate to be stated in public. It is solely applicable for personal conversations. Please perceive.”

「Was he speaking soiled simply now?」

「”? The place and with whom would you’ve a personal dialog? Make clear your phrases.」

「In mattress, proper?」

「I immediately really feel like a tractor simply ran over my face.」

Track Yan glanced on the barrage however remained silent, elevating an eyebrow.

「He raised his eyebrow!! Rattling, he is so naughty!! He is aware of!! He is being suggestive!!!」

「He is giving us sugar!! And it is spicy scorching sugar!!!」

「He solely says ‘cāo’ to Sanli in mattress. I am going loopy!!」

「@Moderator @Moderator @Moderator」

「Thanks, thanks. I’ve already imagined it.」

「Soiled-minded folks, begin writing fanfiction! Make Track Yan say ‘cāo’ to Sanli 100 instances within the story!!」

The barrage erupted with excited screams. Wen Li could not bear to observe, however fortunately, at that second, the workers had already introduced up the video and began projecting it onto the massive display screen.

The livestream room was now divided into two sections: one for the dwell broadcast and one for the edited video.

Actual and real response scenes.

On the high of the video, there was a obvious title.

Wen Li: “…”

Track Yan: “…”

「Hahahaha, they’re actually watching it!!! Sisters, we are the primary pranksters!」

「They’re watching their very own fan-edit express video, hehehe.」

「Oh god, I am already feeling embarrassed for them.」

「Allow them to be embarrassed! Let’s make it development on Weibo!」

「Wow, if the livestream room will get banned at the moment, not a single harmless sister right here can have a pen to signal with!」
