Chapter 37
Those who make mistakes are more real people
Ling Suisui suddenly raised his voice, startling Chen Yuening, whose mind was wandering.
After realizing what was happening, he quickly apologized to her: "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now."
Ling Suisui narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "Teacher Chen, what were you thinking about just now? You didn't even listen to me."
This question is not easy to answer, and Chen Yuening doesn’t know what happened to him just now.
He just... Seeing her sitting with Chi Jia and the people around them making a fuss, he felt very uncomfortable.
Chen Yuening couldn't help but ask: "Sui Sui, are you familiar with Chi Jia?"
Ling Suisui paused, then asked, "Does this question have anything to do with the script we are going to discuss?"
——Obviously not, so don't be too curious about her private life.
No matter what her relationship with Chi Jia was, she didn't need to explain it to him.
Chen Yuening laughed dryly to hide his embarrassment: "I'm just asking casually... Let's continue talking about the script."
Having said that, he was clearly not in form today. No matter what Ling Suisui said, it went in one ear and out the other.
Ling Sui gave up. She sighed and said, "You may be too busy recently, or you haven't gotten over the last drama. How about you go back and have a good sleep first, and we can arrange a four-person meeting another day to discuss it?"
Hearing her say this, Chen Yuening felt ashamed.
He apologized again: "Sorry, I don't know what happened..."
"It doesn't matter." Ling Suisui replied indifferently.
She was too lazy to talk to him more. Since this guy is unreliable, she has to think about the core of Zhang Zihan's character herself.
Her indifferent attitude made Chen Yuening feel even more uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but continue to explain:
"Actually, I really want to listen to you carefully, but my mind always wanders... Sigh, to be honest, my self-control is too poor, far inferior to yours."
Chen Yuening sighed: "It would be great if I could be like you, and my body could act according to my thoughts."
"Ah?" Ling Sui was a little surprised, "Can't you?"
Chen Yuening: …
He felt that the other party was in Versailles, but the confusion in her eyes did not seem to be acted.
He explained with difficulty: "Most of the time, it is definitely possible...Okay, what I just said was not accurate."
"Should I say that there are two thoughts in my mind, one is what I should do after rational thinking, and the other is driven by emotion, or a certain impulse caused by the influence of the surrounding environment?"
"For example, I know that I can't eat high-calorie foods during the fat-loss period, but when I pass by a barbecue stall while running at night, I still have the urge to eat something. If I really go to eat, I know it's wrong before, during, and after eating, but I just can't control my mouth."
Ling Suisui thought thoughtfully: "Then your willpower is indeed weak."
Chen Yuening: …
He was just giving an example, not talking about himself! If I had known this, I would have changed the subject to someone else QAQ
He replied weakly: "Most ordinary people will have this moment... For example, the alarm clock rings, and you know that if you get up earlier, you can avoid the risk of being late, but your body just doesn't want to move."
To put it bluntly, people as self-disciplined as Ling Suisui are a minority!
Something flashed through Ling Sui's mind. He just said that most ordinary people...
So, Zhang Zihan should be among them too?
She suddenly realized that she had finally found a way to solve the problem that had always seemed awkward and a bottleneck.
"You're right." Ling Suisui murmured to himself, "Yes, in this way, Zhang Zihan's logic becomes more transparent..."
"I've been wondering recently if Zhang Zihan's mentality changed too quickly. She really wanted to get emotional compensation from you, but after Li Yuhua warned her, she quickly regained her loyalty. The speed at which the mother and daughter reconciled was also a bit too fast..."
"I thought it was because of the limited length of the script that there wasn't much room for her mentality to unfold, but now I understand."
"You just said that your goal is to lose fat, but Zhang Zihan's goal has always been to get into her dream school, which is what she wants to do most! You passed by the barbecue stall, and Zhang Zihan met Xue Yuchen. The barbecue stall made you drool, and Xue Yuchen also made Zhang Zihan have an emotional mapping."
"Even if you eat barbecue, you will not give up your goal of losing fat the next day. Zhang Zihan is the same. You haven't eaten barbecue for a long time and you are really craving it. Zhang Zihan has worked too hard for a long time to get into her dream school and has entered a slack cycle. In addition, the external environment has stimulated her, and she has the urge to break the jar, but she dare not really break it."
"Right, it all makes sense if you think about it this way. She really couldn't stand Li Yuhua's high pressure, but she knew in her heart that she and her mother had the same goal. She admired Xue Yuchen's rebelliousness, but she didn't reject her status as a top student at all. No, it should be said that she was afraid of losing."
Ling Sui's mumbling was disorganized and her voice was a little soft, so Chen Yuening couldn't hear every word clearly.
He asked her, "What are you talking about?"
Ling Suisui gave a simple summary: "Zhang Zihan is determined to get into a prestigious school. The story between her and you is a problem of her willpower."
Judging from Zhang Zihan's personality, even if she has huge emotional changes, no matter how much she yearns for a rebellious and free-spirited life, if you ask her if she wants to apply to a top university, her first reaction will definitely be that she does, and she must do so.
She wanted this and that, but what she wanted most was an admission letter from her dream school.
You can say that she is not literary enough or idealistic enough, but this is the instinct of East Asian children who have been immersed in the exam-oriented education environment for a long time.
Ling Suisui sorted out his thoughts, while a row of question marks floated across Chen Yuening's head.
ah? Wasn’t it an emotional support before? How come it became like this in the blink of an eye?
Ling Suisui: "I have always used rational thinking to understand Zhang Zihan. I assume that everything she does is based on her needs and her heart. But you reminded me today that people's needs are very complex and may even be contradictory."
"Our previous analysis is still valid. Xue Yuchen's appearance has indeed filled the emotional void in Zhang Zihan's heart. However, I need to appropriately strengthen Zhang Zihan's attitude of wanting to enter a prestigious school. Even if she has some rebellious behavior, it is just because of the luck of eating barbecue during the fat-reducing period."
Zhang Zihan does occasionally downplay or even deliberately ignore her goal of getting into a prestigious school, but she is just an underage high school student. Isn't it normal for her mentality to waver?
After all, there are many adults who are intermittently ambitious but continuously live a life of idleness and waiting to die.
At this point, the screenwriter's portrayal is very realistic.
This also reminded Ling Suisui that she could no longer assume that her characters were completely rational people whose every action strictly followed a certain track. Those who "make mistakes" are more real and flesh-and-blood people.
Chen Yuening gradually caught up with her train of thought: "You mean, you want to treat Zhang Zihan's feelings for Xue Yuchen as a mistake?"
"This is just the first level." Ling Suisui thought and said, "What I just said is based on Zhang Zihan's mentality. Maybe in Zhang Zihan's heart and Li Yuhua's heart, this matter is indeed defined in this way, but from a God's perspective, I think this is very unfair to Zhang Zihan."
"Let's use the same analogy. If you are craving for barbecue, it is a normal physiological need. Then her emotional needs drive her to get closer to Xue Yuchen. What's wrong with that? They have never even held hands."
"I think it's not the behavior that's wrong, but that it's seen as inappropriate at an inappropriate time and place. But is this really the case? Because we have to take the college entrance examination, do these emotional needs have to be suppressed or even completely hidden from the public?"
"I mentioned an idea before, saying that we should analyze their mental health issues. After I thoroughly understood Zhang Zihan's mentality today, I think we can continue to dig deeper into this point."
Ling Suisui took out his tablet and started talking while taking notes.
When she was fully immersed in the character analysis, her eyes were shining, which made Chen Yuening stunned unconsciously.
Can she think of the role when it’s just a casual chat? She is really dedicated.
Moreover, each of her analyses hits the nail on the head. Every time we discuss the script, her understanding becomes deeper and deeper, and she also encourages those around her to think together. With her around, I feel at ease.
"Because of this...so...this point can..."
"Chen Yuening? Why aren't you listening to me again?"
Ling Suisui waved his hand in front of Chen Yuening's eyes and poked his forehead with the tip of the pen.
Chen Yuening came back to his senses and looked at Ling Suisui, who had a puzzled look on his face. He inexplicably felt his cheeks getting hot.
He turned around and started coughing, then made up an excuse to leave. From his back, it looked like he was running away.
Ling Suisui: ...
Is he okay?
She shrugged, packed up her plate and returned to the dormitory. Now she is full of inspiration. Even if she cannot form a complete system for the time being, she can record the scattered content first.
That night, Chen Yuening had a strange dream.
In the dream, he and Ling Sui were in a university classroom. He wrote a confession letter and mustered up the courage to hand it to her.
After Ling Suisui opened the letter, she first read it aloud in her first-class Mandarin, and then analyzed it word by word, which parts of his confession letter were well written, and which parts of the emotion were not expressed well and needed to be strengthened...
In his dream, he humbly asked Ling Suisui for advice. Finally, Teacher Ling was about to give him an answer. He quickly pricked up his ears and listened carefully, but at this moment the alarm rang.
Chen Yuening woke up: ...
How could this happen? This dream is so strange!
Moreover, this dream is so outrageous, why not let him dream to the end? He really doesn’t need this little time!
His heart was beating so fast and his cheeks were burning, so he wanted to close his eyes quickly and finish the dream.
Chen Yuening lay down, but couldn't fall asleep, and even had difficulty breathing. He picked up his phone and wanted to send a message to Ling Suisui, but he didn't know what to say. He could only open and close her circle of friends again and again.
He put down his phone in annoyance and wanted to sleep, but he couldn't fall asleep. He picked up the phone again and repeated the above steps.
On the other side, Ling Sui, who was washing his face and brushing his teeth, received a system prompt.
[Congratulations to the host, [Chen Yuening]'s favorability towards you has reached 100! 】
Um? Ling Sui was a little confused. She didn't do anything.
She spat out the mouthwash in her mouth while thinking, but couldn't come up with any result.
Forget it, just consider it a gift from nature.
