Jiang Ning has many male fans. When she first debuted, she had long, straight black hair, wore a sailor uniform, and smiled at the camera, earning her the title of "first love goddess" from her fans.
Having been an actress for five years, Jiang Ning's first role was in a campus drama. She later starred in several fantasy dramas. She was lucky; her first role garnered over 10,000 views and gained her many fans. Every fantasy drama she starred in after that became a hit. To improve herself and to fulfill a bet with her agent, she turned to the film industry, starting with supporting roles and gradually working her way up to leading roles. After winning her first Best Supporting Actress award, she won her first Best Actress award.
She is incredibly lucky. Netizens say she is a lucky star sent from heaven, someone who is fed by God, and she has held onto this opportunity tightly.
In this world, talent determines the upper limit, and effort determines the lower limit. Jiang Ning is the kind of person that everyone says is more talented than you but also works harder than you.
Working year-round without a break, spending 365 days a year on set, seamlessly transitioning to the next project.
Some say she's a model worker, while others say she's wasting her talent because she loves money too much.
When she was working her hardest, all she could think about was that if she tried a little harder and persevered a little longer, once she won the Best Actress award, no one would care if she started dating, and then she could go and get back together with Zhuang Yan.
When she won the Best Actress award, the screen was filled with praise for her being the most hardworking career-minded person, but in reality, she got to where she is today because of her love-obsessed nature.
Upon seeing Zhuang Yan, Jiang Ning's eyes lit up as if illuminated by fireworks.
It rained a little this morning, and my umbrella was slightly damp. When Zhuang Yan appeared, the rain had stopped. Looking at the golden light on the horizon, today was destined to be a good day.
Zhuang Yan stepped forward and asked, "Have you been waiting long?"
“I just arrived not long ago.” Jiang Ning handed the soy milk and fried dough sticks to Zhuang Yan. “You haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? Here, take this.”
Zhuang Yan didn't take it immediately, but instead took the umbrella from Jiang Ning's hand, saying, "Let me put the umbrella away for you first."
The two ate their breakfast as they walked; soy milk and fried dough sticks were a safe bet.
In the breakfast bag Zhuang Yan was carrying, there were not only fried dough sticks but also mochi. Wrapping the mochi in fried dough sticks, one bite was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Paired with a sip of soy milk, it was a satisfying meal for the whole day.
Jiang Ning remembers Zhuang Yan often eating like this when he was in school very clearly.
But Zhuang Yan doesn't eat like that anymore. The reason is simple: he has a bad stomach, and mochi is not easy to digest.
But Jiang Ning didn't know that when she saw the mochi in the bag, she asked him why he wasn't eating it.
"I have a sensitive stomach. Eating too much can easily cause acid reflux and stomach pain. I'll eat when I'm hungry."
How could Zhuang Yan have a bad stomach? Before, when he ate hot pot, he would add millet peppers to the dipping sauce while shaved ice. He liked the spiciest and most numbing hot pot.
When I visited his home during the Chinese New Year, Grandma Wang made pork and scallion dumplings, and he could eat 50 of them in one go without experiencing indigestion.
Grandma Wang often tells him to eat slowly and in small amounts so as not to upset his stomach, but Zhuang Yan never listens to a word she says.
Who knew that his words would come true, his grandmother's prediction came true.
But Zhuang Yan's stomach problems weren't caused by overeating, but by starvation.
Zhuang Yan was abused by his mother when he was five years old, and was only taken back to the old town by his grandmother when he was six. At that time, Zhuang Yan was very thin, like a little monkey, and his whole body was covered with injuries. Even a dog would shake its head at the sight of him.
Perhaps he developed a psychological problem from being hungry for too long. Zhuang Yan likes to eat large portions of food. He doesn't have many hobbies, but he likes to explore restaurants. Whenever he sees a good restaurant, he will take Jiang Ning there.
After his grandmother died, he was taken back by the Zhuang family, where he was subjected to psychological manipulation and abuse. He was sometimes hungry and sometimes hungry, and later, due to the immense mental stress, he would vomit everything he ate, which eventually led to his stomach problems.
Jiang Ning was unaware of these things, so when Zhuang Yan said he had a stomach ailment and couldn't eat mochi, she thought he was lying to her and trying to distance himself from her.
Jiang Ning chose a food street near the university town as the location for their date.
The two took a car there, a one-hour drive, and arrived at eight o'clock.
"It feels like I'm back in school all of a sudden," Jiang Ning said.
Zhuang Yan seemed a little distracted, and simply nodded after hearing Jiang Ning's words.
Jiang Ning pointed to a pancake stall: "Jianbing guozi, looks pretty good, do you want some?"
"I just had breakfast, so I'd better not eat such a big pancake again."
"Do you want to eat Bo Bo Chicken? I remember you like boneless chicken feet."
"I don't want to eat spicy food right now."
"The egg burger looks delicious, there's always a long line at that roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), and there are also takoyaki, donkey meat sandwiches, and egg pancakes. I remember you like the pork floss kind, and you like the salty and spicy kind of tofu pudding. When you eat fatty intestine noodles, you like to add a pork potsticker to the soup. You like dry-mixed Yibing ranmian (a type of noodle) with millet peppers, and you always choose the spicy kind of wontons..." Jiang Ning talked about all the food she went on to. These streets are full of food, and with it being the weekend, there were a lot of people.
Because there was a photographer following them, they attracted a lot of attention.
Jiang Ning has many fans, and people even line up for her autograph in her village, so it goes without saying that she has even more fans here.
Someone shouted her name exaggeratedly, and the news spread like wildfire, eventually attracting the attention of passersby from several streets.
What was supposed to be a nice date turned into a fan meeting. Fortunately, fans and passersby knew to keep their distance and didn't push forward recklessly.
Zhuang Yan had always known that Jiang Ning had a lot of fans, but this was the first time he had directly experienced just how terrifying her popularity was.
In addition to being photographed by a photographer, Jiang Ning's date was also protected by bodyguards throughout.
Passersby recognized not only Jiang Ning but also Zhuang Yan.
"Zhuang Yan, we all support you. Remember to live well and don't let unimportant people affect your mood."
