"Ah! Mom...why don't you make any sound when you walk?"
"What's wrong, Xiaoning? Why are you sweating all over?" Lan Yening's mother, Zhang Ya, looked confused.
"It's okay, it's just that it's too dark in the corridor and I'm a little scared."
"...Xiao Ning, how old are you?"
"Mom, go and rest! I'm tired too."
"Okay then" Zhang Yacai was about to turn around and leave, then stopped and said, "By the way, I have a courier for you, I'll put it in your room."
Feeling vaguely uneasy, Lan Yening returned to her room and opened the express package.
A large envelope was placed in it. When I opened it, I saw that it was filled with all kinds of unsightly little cards.
On the front are various "beautiful photos" of him, and on the back are the same things as today's Moments.
"W-who did this?"
Lan Yening, who was tortured to the point of going crazy, almost lost his mind and shouted.
"It must be Lu Zhao, it must be them."
Lan Yening, who was trembling all over, was holding her head and huddled at the foot of the bed.
He didn't know what to do now. Even if he called the police for this kind of thing, it would be very difficult to investigate and collect evidence, and he himself couldn't produce evidence to sue the other party.
But such mental torture was fatal to him.
He was helpless and could only endure it silently, not daring to go out all day long.
But just when he was going to the studio in the evening, his mother came back from a walk outside with a pale face.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you sick again?"
"Mom is not sick, I just want to know what is going on. Now the neighbors are pointing fingers at our family." Zhang Ya placed a small card in front of Lan Yening.
"Mom, this is someone taking revenge on me. Someone with a psychological disorder is following me."
"A person with abnormal heart? Xiao Ning, tell the truth to mom, what are you doing now?"
"Mom, I'm working hard. You also know that some people are twisted in their hearts."
Lan Yening didn't dare to tell his mother that he was working as a model, otherwise it would only kill his mother.
"Then let's call the police, Xiao Ning."
"It's useless. We need to prove this kind of thing ourselves. Let me find the evidence somewhere!"
"Xiao Ning, are you hiding something from your mother?"
Zhang Ya's face was completely pale, and her gaze towards Lan Yening was urgent and painful.
"No more, Mom! I'm just being targeted by someone with a twisted heart."
"Then report the crime! What are you afraid of?"
"Hey! Okay then!"
Lan Yening had no choice but to do as her mother said.
Things developed just as Lan Yening expected, and there was nothing more to go on after recording.
Time is like a horse white
Ye Yuwei returned to the center after filming her part.
"Yu Wei, didn't the company promise you to play the fourth female lead in the self-produced drama?"
"That role was given to Yu Qingjia, and Mr. Shen said that I played a good role here."
Ye Yuwei, who was eating an apple, looked at Li Jiaqi helplessly.
"You got that role by risking the end of your idol career and weathering the storm of public opinion for the company. Even if I don't give it to you, I can't give it to Yu Qingjia!" Li Jiaqi looked indignant.
"We have no choice but to follow the company's arrangements." Ye Yuwei shrugged.
After returning from the set, Ye Yuwei felt that she couldn't stay here any longer.
She felt that the space here was too small, and she longed to go to a bigger stage.
"Yu Wei, what are you going to do?"
"What do you mean?"
"Will you still be in the small theater next?"
Li Jiaqi's words reminded Ye Yuwei of another person. If he nodded, he should be in a big and splendid house now!
"You can't go there unless you're in a small theater. This is our foundation."
"Yu Wei, I also want to go out and take a look at the sky outside." Jiaqi smiled sadly.
"Jiaqi, you will have a chance in the future."
"Yes, I believe in myself and I will work harder."
The two held hands and laughed. At this moment, Ye Yuwei felt full of happiness.
So what if the theater is smaller? The most important thing is that I can be with my friends.
Meow!
An orange kitten jumped over and looked left and right with its wide black eyes.
The kitten they adopted is no longer the messy look it once was, but has smooth skin and smooth fur.
"Come, let mom hug you!" Li Jiaqi stretched out her hand, and the kitten jumped into her arms.
"The little fish is so cute, it seems to have grown up a little." Li Jiaqi touched the kitten's head.
Because the kitten survived by chance, like a fish that slipped through the net, Li Jiaqi named it Xiaoyu.
"Yu Wei, is this the fruit of our friendship?"
"Oh my god! Okay! That's up to you!"
Ye Yuwei tilted her head and made a face at the kitten.
At night, all the windows in the room are open, and the quiet moonlight flows down from the windows.
The two of them were lying on a boat covered with vanilla leaves.
Ye Yuwei's body curled up, like a baby's posture before birth.
Li Jiaqi hugged her from behind, rolled up the former's hair with gentle hands, and stroked her bent back and knees...
"Yu Wei, I can hear your heartbeat"
"I can do it too, it's so quiet tonight"
Ye Yuwei enjoyed this peaceful caress.
"Jiaqi, you know, I couldn't sleep well every day when I was in the hotel. I was always afraid."
"afraid of what?"
"Afraid that I will be abandoned again, afraid that I will be the only one left in the world."
Ye Yuwei's body seemed to be trembling, and her childhood memories were her lingering nightmares.
"Don't be afraid, Yu Wei, I will always be with you."
"Jiaqi, then you promise me that no matter who goes out, you will call the other person every day."
"Okay, as long as you don't find me annoying."
The two people hugged each other, smelling the fragrance lingering in the darkness, and their hearts gradually became peaceful.
the next day
Days seem to be back to normal again.
But it was a bad start for Lan Yening.
When he came back from buying breakfast, he heard his mother arguing with people who were doing morning exercises in the community.
"What do you say? You are not allowed to talk about my son like this."
"What happened to what we said? Your son is allowed to do it but we are not allowed to tell him?"
"It's just that, judging from the way your son looks, he shouldn't be a serious person."
The voices of these two aunts were so loud that the entire neighborhood could hear them.
"You, you are slandering me. My son is 20 years old and alone. He is clean and has never done anything beyond the rules! How can you be so vicious?"
Lan Yening heard her mother's voice trembling, and she was obviously furious.
He hurried over: "Mom, let's go back!"
When the uncles and aunties around saw Lan Yening coming, they all looked at her with disdain.
Lan Yening felt so ashamed that she had to endure such slander and humiliation without being able to defend herself even though she had done nothing wrong and was still a victim.
Public opinion is really an invisible sword that can kill people.
"Xiao Ning, have you offended someone? Ah!" Zhang Ya looked anxious when she returned home, and thick beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"Mom, I didn't offend anyone." Lan Yening hurriedly defended, while worrying that something might happen to his mother.
"Xiao Ning, do you think your mother doesn't know what you do and the clothes you wear..."
Hearing his mother's words, Lan Yening was stunned for a moment, and then his fair face showed a look of extreme embarrassment.
It turns out that my mother knew about this "shameful" thing.
"Mom, I, I did it to support my family..."
"You are mentally ill. You, a good man, should not become a woman."
"I don't, I just make a living from that."
"It's just because you are mentally ill that wearing those things will attract unscrupulous people."
Lan Yening felt like she was really going to collapse. If she didn't wear those things to perform, the money she would get would be used to treat the former's illness and buy rice and groceries.
