Xiao He: ...Mom, where is your maternal love?
Xiao He rubbed his temples helplessly: "Then you'd better not watch it. If relatives and friends ask about it during this period, just pretend you don't know anything, just pretend it wasn't me acting."
However, Xiao's mother chuckled and said proudly, "I won't pretend I don't know. My son's acting is just good. If they dislike you because of the character, it only proves that my son is too outstanding. They can't distinguish between reality and fiction. It's better for us to avoid contact with such fools."
Xiao He paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Alright, whatever you want. But if it affects your daily lives, you must tell me. And about the moving thing we talked about before..."
"Oh dear, let's not move," Xiao's mother decisively refused. "We're perfectly fine here, we don't want to move."
Since both of Xiao He's parents had very stable jobs, the Xiao family basically didn't move after the house was allocated. They continued to live in that neighborhood. Apart from the house and neighborhood being a bit old, life and work were very convenient. Xiao's mother was also nostalgic and didn't really want to move.
"But--"
"And most importantly, your dad heard that our area is very likely to be redeveloped in the next few years, and there might be some compensation money when we get it," Xiao's mother said very seriously. "Anyway, your dad and I aren't leaving. You can go wherever you want, just don't bother us."
Xiao He: "...Alright then."
Xiao He then stopped trying to persuade him.
After chatting with Xiao's mother for a while, Xiao He hung up the phone.
Although it was already late, Xiao He and his group were still waiting to board their plane in the airport waiting area.
Xiao Chen handed me a cup of hot coffee.
"Thanks."
Xiao He picked it up, took a sip, and then looked at Liu Rulan: "Sister Liu, how's the situation online?"
Liu Rulan was looking at her tablet when she heard Xiao He's words. She smiled and showed Xiao He the video playing in her hand: "Haha, Su Shengxi's terrible acting skills have received unanimous praise."
Xiao He: ...
Sure enough, whenever Su Shengxi is involved, Sister Liu's fighting spirit skyrockets.
You can tell how much resentment there was over the years.
Filled with curiosity, Xiao He also took a look.
This is a video from a Bilibili content creator in the吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese video sharing platform) section. His video is mainly a recommendation, strongly suggesting that everyone watch "Shining Stars," but he also spends a lot of time complaining about the show's only "flaw."
"I now seriously suspect that Su Shengxi was set up by capital. I'm serious, there's no lie in it. Otherwise, why didn't anyone tell him that his acting in 'Shining Star' was obviously terrible?"
"The Shining Star is a masterpiece showcasing Wen Hongyuan's skills. He successfully used Su Shengxi to show us that even if a series has a weakness, he can still make a good show. Of course, my suggestion is that Director Wen should not insert 'advertisements' promoting his abilities into the plot next time. Otherwise, every time I see Su Shengxi, this living 'advertisement,' I have to manually skip the 'advertisement,' which is really annoying."
"And some fans, please don't make me critique Xiao He's acting anymore. I think everyone can see it with their eyes. If you insist on saying something unpleasant, then I'll grant your wish—Meng Zetian, you son of a bitch (birdsong and fragrant flowers)..."
"Alright? I think my evaluation was quite fair. If you found my video helpful, please like, comment, and subscribe!"
Xiao He: "..."
Okay, okay, here's a like, comment, and share for you.
