Chapter 34 Hug, hug, hug that lonely, lonely, little...
Qiao Zhizheng posted on Weibo, the company reposted it, and the crew spoke out.
With the joint efforts of the three parties, the online sentiment has clearly improved.
Everything is settled.
Because of this incident, some more metaphysical blog posts emerged, and Qiao Zhizheng was so amused when she saw them.
He handed his phone to Qiao Zheng beside him to read the contents. "Look at what they wrote. It's so outrageous! One said I raised a ghost and it backfired. Another said I asked for help from a god for my career luck but ended up asking for a ghost instead, which is why my career is so unlucky. And the most outrageous one was the one who actually said I haven't been myself since I entered the entertainment industry, and that the company replaced me because they thought I had bad luck financially, so they found someone who looked like me but had better luck financially to replace me and bring prosperity to the company!"
The blog post was so well-reasoned and stated bluntly that "pictures speak louder than words". Qiao Zhizheng clicked on it and saw that someone had taken a photo of Qiao Zhizheng and Qiao Zheng walking side by side. The photo was a bit blurry, but it was not difficult to see that the two people's profiles were highly similar.
Qiao Zhizheng thought about it and realized that this must have been taken when the two of them were out strolling together.
Qiao Zhizheng was extremely helpless, yet also somewhat complacent. "Ah, that's what it means when you're famous, you're prone to gossip. Just take a picture and you can make up a story."
"You have a pretty good attitude."
"Of course not. What else can I do? I can't just die if someone insults me and spreads rumors about me, right? I won't do something like that where I suffer while they're happy. Speaking of which, Qiao Zheng, have you ever read that 'after I die they'll regret it' kind of literature?"
Qiao Zheng nodded and raised an eyebrow. "So?"
"I think this kind of literature is a bit weird. I didn't see how kind they were to her when she was alive, so how could they possibly love her after she died? It's too late to be happy that someone you hate is dead. I don't understand why anyone would enjoy reading this kind of stuff."
Qiao Zheng commented from the perspective of a later reader, "You can't really blame the audience. The popularity of this kind of literature fills a void in the lives of some viewers who have had similar experiences. They don't truly believe this literature is correct, but they simply identify with it while reading it and agree with it. This is actually a subconscious way of making up for the fact that they weren't treated well in the past."
Qiao Zhizheng understood immediately, and suddenly realized, "Indeed, I can't judge others based on my own understanding. It's so unfair to them."
Qiao Zheng paused in sliding the screen, as if the pause button had been pressed on her whole body.
Qiao Zhizheng continued, "...Now that I think about it, I've done a lot of stupid things in the past. Qiao Zheng, do you know? When I was little, I always thought the Internet was omnipotent. My dog Qiuqiu was lost, and the babysitters couldn't find him, so I went online to search for Qiuqiu's whereabouts."
Qiao Zhizheng and Qiao Zheng both showed a hint of nostalgia in their eyes.
Qiuqiu is a dirty fawn puppy that four-year-old Qiao Zhizheng picked up at the doorstep of his home. It is a hybrid dog born from the union of a Doberman Pinscher and a Chihuahua.
I don’t know why, but in my memory, many of my bad moods always occur on rainy days. It’s not because all bad things happen on rainy days, but because the dull and depressing air on rainy days can easily make people feel depressed, and bad moods can easily arise. Rainy days become the anchor point of memory, and when it rains, I will think of the bad moods I had on many rainy days.
It was another rainy day when mom and dad were not at home. Qiao Zhizheng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. The damp smell of rain came in through the window that was slightly opened.
Qiao Zhizheng watched the raindrops hitting the puddles and creating crown-shaped splashes of water, one after another, continuously, and Qiao Zhizheng was fascinated.
A soft voice came into his ears. Qiao Zhizheng found a puppy in the corner next to the door. It had wet fur and black eyes like two small grapes. It raised its head pitifully, then lowered it weakly, and let out a weak cry.
Qiao Zhizheng took the poor puppy home, named it Qiuqiu, and gave Qiuqiu a home.
Qiuqiu accompanied the lonely Qiao Zhizheng from the hot summer to the cold winter, and then from the cold winter to the hot summer of the following year.
Qiuqiu came to Qiao Zhizheng without warning on a rainy summer day, and left her quietly on a sunny summer day.
It is more painful to have something and then lose it than never to have it at all.
Five-year-old Qiao Zhizheng couldn't find Qiuqiu, so she followed the adults' lead and searched online for help, searching for Qiuqiu's location.
How can I find it?
Qiao Zhizheng never saw Qiuqiu again and hadn't raised a puppy for many years.
"...Thinking about it now, I was really stupid at that time, but I really thought it was the best way."
With indifferent parents and a nanny who was only in her employment relationship, Qiao Zhizheng's world of thought was isolated and helpless. No one told her that the Internet was not omnipotent. She thought that the Internet was omnipotent by observing the behavior of adults. This wrong cognition lasted for a long time. Only when she grew up and became more sensible did she change her mind.
Qiao Zhizheng smiled with relief and said softly, "But I still love my childhood self very much. Although she was silly, she was also very cute. If I could see her, I would definitely hug her."
Hug that lonely, desolate, little Qiao Zhizheng.
Qiao Zheng looked up at her and suddenly smiled, "Yeah, silly, but also cute."
Qiao Zheng laughed, and Qiao Zhizheng didn't understand why, so she laughed too.
The sunlight outside the window is soft, the winter chill has gone, spring is warm and flowers are blooming. The sunlight falls on Qiao Zhizheng's hair, making her look dazzling, and her carefree smile flows sweetly into the hearts of the onlookers.
Qiao Zheng suddenly approached for unknown reasons, placed her fingers on the top of Qiao Zhizheng's head, followed the trajectory of her falling hair, and gently tucked a strand of her messy hair behind her ear.
Qiao Zheng didn't say anything, but the warm and gentle light in her eyes was worth a thousand words.
Qiao Zheng also hugged Qiao Zhizheng. Qiao Zheng looked cold on weekdays, but her embrace was soft and comfortable. Qiao Zhizheng smelled the sweet fragrance in her nose and was intoxicated by the aroma of spring.
In a trance, Qiao Zhizheng wondered, is there a possibility that I have some weight in her heart, and will I be the reason for her to stay?
Qiao Zhizheng felt as if she had found the secret to touching Qiao Zheng's heart. Qiao Zhizheng's weakness, Qiao Zhizheng's dependence, Qiao Zhizheng's trust, Qiao Zhizheng's tears...
Qiao Zhizheng clearly realized that she had an advantage over Qiao Zheng.
Ah~Qiao Zheng~
——My name is Qiao Zhizheng. Does it mean that I am destined to know “Zheng”?
Qiao Zheng's embrace parted with a light touch. She let go of Qiao Zhizheng and frowned fiercely at the sight of her suddenly smirking. Those fabricated blog posts flashed through her mind. Was she really possessed by something dirty?!
Qiao Zheng used to be a materialist, but since she traveled back in time ten years ago, her materialistic views have not been so firm.
When Qiao Zhizheng came back to her senses, Qiao Zheng looked at her solemnly.
A look of deep confusion appeared on Qiao Zhizheng's face. "What's wrong?"
Qiao Zheng asked her, "Did you wake up the last time you came to my room to watch 'Meet the Common People' with me?"
Qiao Zhizheng's eyes were darting around, and she touched her ears with her hands. She looked up and down, but she didn't dare look at Qiao Zheng. "No...no."
Qiao Zhizheng saw that Qiao Zheng was obviously relieved, and then looked at Qiao Zhizheng coldly, "Humph!"
Qiao Zhizheng watched Qiao Zheng walk away, bewildered. What had happened? Did she catch him pretending to sleep last time? That couldn't be right. What was there to be angry about?
Qiao Zhizheng couldn't figure it out, so she stopped making things difficult for herself and followed Qiao Zheng out of the door.
"Qiao Zheng~ Wait for me~ What are we going to eat tonight~"

One of the benefits of filming a live-action scene with Xia Cangshu is that you can appreciate the beautiful scenery.
Xia Cangshu is an experiential person who tries to be as practical as possible while ensuring safety.
The real scene chosen this time is the Amazon rainforest.
Before filming began, Xia Cangshu hired a team of local tour guides and expedition teams to lead the leading actors to experience the tropical rainforest scenery.
"This trip is outside the rainforest. It's voluntary. I'm not forcing you to go. I just want you to experience it so you can be more immersed in the acting."
Qiao Zheng nodded and said, "Go."
Qiao Zhizheng followed up on her words, "I'm going too!"
Li Tianyi said, "If they all go, I'll go too!"
Another actor, Tang Fengmian, also raised his hand, "And me, and me!"
…
Ten people have been confirmed to be on the tour, including the actors Qiao Zheng, Qiao Zhizheng, Li Tianyi, Tang Fengmian, director Xia Cangshu, screenwriter Lin Bubu, art team members Yang Qixian and Meng Guifan, action director Ma Shichao, and stunt director Wei Wu.
On a sunny morning, the ten-member crew, bearing the humid and hot moisture of the tropical rainforest climate, boarded a bus to the port with the local tour guide and the expedition team.
Qiao Zhizheng and Li Tianyi had only heard of screenwriter Lin Bubu before, and they were both a little curious. Lin Bubu usually works remotely, and sometimes they heard that she came to the crew, but for some reason they had never seen her in person.
It was when Xia Cangshu organized this rainforest tourism activity that Lin Bubu, as the screenwriter, took the initiative to come over to collect folk songs, and the two of them got to meet them. Li Tianyi sat in the window seat next to Lin Bubu, and Qiao Zhizheng sat in the row next to them, with Qiao Zheng sitting in the window seat to her left.
Li Tianyi and Qiao Zhizheng have similar personalities and they get along well on the set.
Li Tianyi and Qiao Zhizheng looked at each other over Qiao Zheng and Lin Bubu, and smiled.
They both spoke at the same time, "Editor Lin, can we ask you a question?"
Lin Bubu had two big dark circles under her eyes, and her eyelids were half closed, looking like she was about to fall asleep. Qiao Zhizheng and Li Tianyi spoke at the same time, which scared Lin Bubu a little. Lin Bubu opened her eyes suddenly, and after realizing that it was just the two of them asking her questions, she yawned and said, "Ask ahead..."
"Is your name a stage name or your real name?"
Lin Bubu opened her sleepy eyes and asked, "What do you think?"
Qiao Zhizheng: "Stage name!"
Li Tianyi: "Real name!"
Lin Bubu slowly raised the corners of her lips and asked Qiao Zheng, who had remained silent the entire time, "Qiao Zheng, what do you think?"
Qiao Zheng, who was suddenly called out, answered without hesitation, "My real name plus my stage name."
Qiao Zhizheng and Li Tianyi were not expecting Qiao Zheng's answer. They looked at Lin Bubu together, "What's the answer?"
