Chapter 51 Ending Choice "Thank you, I wish you a bright future."...

After watching the interview video, He Yan paused for three minutes. He couldn't believe that the person with that expression in the video was himself.

Since he could hardly remember what happened during the interview, he sent the link to He Chulian and asked him to judge.

Congratulations: [Weibo link]

He Chulian: No need to share, I’ve already watched it and I’m addicted to it, hehe, you lovely wife!

Before He Yan could finish his words, He Chulian had already finished judging him.

He immediately changed the topic and angrily typed a few words: The remarks were actually a performance. We had already decided what the remarks should be for the other party as soon as we signed the business contract, just for the sake of subsequent business!

He Chulian responded: "If I'm not mistaken, you added him using your current account, right? I don't believe there's anything fishy going on!"

He Yan sneered: "That time I added him by mistake. We were at loggerheads from the beginning. How could I add him using my personal account?" [Disdain]

He Chulian: I see. I thought this was part of your business, but it turns out not to be [snickering]. This is a beautiful mistake!

He Yan was really impressed: Shouldn’t the key point be “accidental” addition?!

He Chulian: Then how do you explain the fact that you saw Zhu Shengting blush seven or eight times?

He Yan refused to admit it: I just put too much blush on my face.

He Chulian changed the subject: "I see, it seems that Zhu Shengting is the one who is paying for me, that makes me happy too."

Heyan:?

He Yan: Forget it, I can’t talk to you.

He Chulian was also convinced: "Then why did you share the link with me? Do you think I'm a double agent?"

He Yan blushed: Can't you speak more politely?

He Chulian: So, my friend, what exactly do you want to say? [staring at you intently]

He Yan held the phone, his face flushed. After hesitating for a long time, he finally typed out the question he had wanted to ask at the beginning.

He Yan: I really do... look a lot like the "beautiful wife" you all talk about...? And why is Zhu Shengting so attached to me...

He Chulian:.

He Chulian: Zhu Shengting only loves He Yan, He Yan only loves Zhu Shengting, Yan, you figure it out yourself!

He Chulian: But don’t let my words influence you, just treat it as nonsense. [Retreating with the lid on my head…]

He Yan was speechless. He asked the man but he didn't say anything. He was just curious. How could he possibly think about anything else!

He Yan: Haha, then you can leave.

He Chulian: Wait, before I leave, I just want to ask a question, will the ending of Guyu, Li Congye and Lin Guyu, be happy or sad?

He Yan: I don’t know about this either, let’s wait and see.

He Chulian: ??? You don’t know, how could you not know?!

After He Yan replied this sentence, he ignored He Chulian's crazy words.

In fact, he really doesn't know now.

The filming is almost coming to an end, and one of their tasks this morning is to meet with Xia Hui, Dong Xiao and others to select the final version of the plot.

Before the meeting started, He Yan and Zhu Shengting arrived at the meeting room ten minutes early.

"Actually, I'm a little nervous," He Yan said to Zhu Shengting beside him, "Wow, I really don't know what the two endings written by Dong will be like."

"Is it probably the difference between he and be in the traditional sense?" Zhu Shengting made a reasonable guess.

But they couldn't guess how Dong Xiao came up with the idea. When it comes to the plot, there are a thousand Hamlets in the minds of a thousand people.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Daoxi, Xia Hui, Dong Xiao and Mao Zhiyu arrived at the conference room together.

He Yan seemed to be back to the day when they named the play.

He couldn't help but sigh that time flies. Ever since he came up with the name "When the Grain Rain Comes", he never thought that it would have such dazzling results and be expected by so many loyal audiences.

Xia Hui stood in front of the conference table and began to speak: "Everyone is familiar with it, so I will directly talk about today's process. In fact, it is mainly about finalizing the ending."

While Xia Hui was talking, Mao Zhiyu took out four documents from her bag and placed them two by two in front of He Yan and Zhu Shengting.

"We agreed that the ending would be decided by you two together, so we are still giving you the choice now," Xia Hui continued.

"Well, there are two documents. Version A is the ending I wrote, and Version B is written by Zhiyu," Dong Xiao tapped the table. "Just make your choice between the two documents."

"Because we still haven't finished filming the eighth episode, you have five days to give us your answer. Whichever ending you choose is up to you and will not be changed," Xia Hui said with a serious expression. "Remember to choose according to your heart."

Zhang Daoxi spoke up at this point, "While it has to suit your mood, our drama has received a lot of attention after all. I've also had someone collect discussions and opinions about the finale from viewers on various online platforms. I'll privately send the compiled PDF to our group later for your reference."

"Okay, thank you, Producer Zhang." He Yan nodded seriously.

Zhu Shengting held the two documents in his hands but never opened them.

"Well, that's it in general. We look forward to your choice." Xia Hui clapped her hands.

Zhang Daoxi added a few more words, "You guys are going to record a variety show tomorrow. Remember not to let anything slip about the time. After all, there's a lot of discussion online about the ending of this drama, and the host might be trying to get some information out of you just to get some buzz."

Zhu Shengting nodded, "I understand."

"OK, let's adjourn the meeting. Cheer up and take good photos later." Xia Hui glanced at Zhu Shengting and then at He Yan, and smiled. "Every day you take photos is a day less, so take some and cherish them."

"Scene 276, First Shot, Action!"

Ever since Li Cong left last time, Lin Guyu never invited him to his house again.

Li Cong didn't make any other reaction.

The two people seemed to have returned to the old days, they just had an impression of each other but were not familiar with each other.

But how easy is it to really do this?

Lin Guyu would always be attracted by Li Congye's attention. Although he tried to control himself, it seemed to have become his instinct.

That day, Li Congye's withdrawal of his hand indicated that his feelings had crossed the line. The last words the other party said seemed like a warning, or perhaps it was just a blessing.

Anyway, it seems that this is really all there is to it.

Louzhi and Lin Boheng were not in a hurry to urge him, because they were essentially confident. They believed that their son had listened to them for eighteen years and this time would be the same.

Lin Guyu felt like a white school uniform that had been hung on the rooftop and forgotten to be taken away. After being exposed to the wind and sun for thousands of days, it began to mold in the humid rainy season.

But he couldn't be taken away yet, and no one cared about the mold he had already developed.

The sun did come down briefly, but it was really short-lived.

Lin Guyu couldn't turn around and look at Li Congye who was sitting behind him in the quiet classroom, otherwise he would be regarded as a psychopath who had an adverse reaction to the excessive pressure before the exam.

But he had no choice. He found that his hands were shaking unconsciously during the exam.

For Lin Guyu, this period of time was like a witch making soup. No matter how he moved forward, the road ahead was blocked and dead end.

This is the last week, Lin Guyu returns home, and the date he and Lou Zhi have agreed upon is almost here.

Xu Wenhua also looked for him and talked to him, and tactfully told him that if he really didn't want to go abroad, he could try to help him persuade Lou Zhi.

But Lin Guyu was like a puppet with his soul taken away. He did not respond except for a "thank you".

Just like the default.

After the conversation, before Lin Guyu left, Xu Wenhua couldn't bear it and told him something.

…

Lin Guyu lay on the desk in a daze, looking at the empty seat next to him for who knows how long.

Until the test paper under his arm was wet with tears, he raised his head in panic to wipe away his tears and finished the last question on the test paper.

He began to tidy up his desk, sorting all the completed test papers into categories and putting them in order, and stacking all the notes together.

While he was tidying up, he accidentally bumped into a chair and the stack of notes leaning against the table fell to the ground.

Lin Guyu rubbed his waist and bent down to pick it up.

On the gray wooden floor, he saw a brand new red banknote tucked into a notebook.

He was stunned, picked up the notebook with the red banknotes and opened it. On the last page with the hundred-yuan note, he saw a line of familiar words.

"Lin Guyu, thank you. I wish you a bright future."

"Cut! Let's take a break after reshooting. Group A has finished their morning scenes." Xia Hui looked back at the camera.

"Xiao Zhu, this is a flashback. Don't show your strange state. Maintain an objective tone," Dong Xiao explained to Zhu Shengting. "Don't make too many hand movements when facing the class teacher."

"Okay." Zhu Shengting looked at the script and nodded.

"OK, Group B begins—"

Xu Huawen didn't expect that Li Cong would come to see her.

In her eyes, Li Cong was a very cold student who seemed indifferent to everything, but he never caused trouble like the troublemakers in the school, and she was very satisfied with this.

She also knew that Li Congye's family was not well off, but after comprehensive consideration, she did not persuade Li Congye to read more. She would only sigh occasionally when she saw him quietly doing his homework.

This time when Li Cong came to the office, he was holding a mobile phone in his hand.

Xu Wenhua saw it and couldn't help laughing, "Li Congye, are you here to turn yourself in?"

Li Cong had no expression. He silently placed his phone in front of Xu Wenhua, opened the photo album, and showed Xu Wenhua the photos and videos he had saved in it.

A few minutes later, Li Cong also spoke up: "Teacher, is this enough?"

Xu Wenhua placed his hand on his chest and breathed rapidly, his eyes filled with endless sorrow and self-blame. "Cong Ye, when did this happen?"

"I took him to the infirmary yesterday, and he's fine now," Li Cong said calmly, like a reporter recounting a crime scene. "And Song Mingyue, teacher, you can ask her if she has any other evidence."

"Okay, thank you, I understand." Xu Wenhua said solemnly.

Li Cong also blinked slowly, "Teacher, will Liu Neng drop out of school?"

Xu Wenhua was at a loss for words for a response. He looked Li Congye in the eye and answered him seriously, "I will try my best."

"Thank you, teacher. I hope you can keep it a secret and not tell Lin Guyu." This was the only condition Li Congye proposed.

Xu Wenhua agreed, and before Li Cong left, she looked at his back deeply.

What Xu Wenhua didn't expect was that Li Cong came to see her again later.

"Hey Congye, you're here. I just wanted to compliment you on your success in the exam..." Before Xu Wenhua could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Congye.

"Teacher, I'm sorry," Li Cong also lowered his eyes, "I came here this time to tell you that I want to drop out of school."

All of Xu Wenhua's words were stuck in her throat. She could only try her best to smile and asked in the most gentle tone: "Can you tell me, teacher, why?"

"Because I see that your grades have improved a lot, and Guyu has also helped you a lot. The college entrance examination is just a few days away. If you work hard, you can still get into college."

"If it's a financial problem, many schools now offer subsidies, and you can apply for them later. If that doesn't work, your teacher can help you."

Xu Wenhua was still persuading him.

"Guyu came to me a while ago to discuss your grades. Your friends are also concerned about you..."

Li Cong also clenched his fists slightly when he heard Lin Guyu's name. Finally, he loosened his fists and only said one sentence.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Xu."

After filming the final scene, He Yan collapsed as soon as he returned to the hotel. He remembered that he had not had time to watch the endings of version A and B.

He was still very nervous when he thought about this. In order to ease the tension, he decided to first take a look at the PDF of netizens' thoughts on the ending that Zhang Daoxi had compiled for them.

He Yan let out a breath and opened the file.
