Chapter 20: Little Cannon Fodder is Most Afraid of Being Praised
"Your name is Yingying, right?"
Meng Yiyun stood in front of her, blocking her way. She looked aggressive and difficult to deal with.
Yin Yinying:?
"Let me correct you, my name is Yin Yinying." She said word by word.
"Okay, ahhh."
“…”
"Yin-yin-ying." She continued to correct the other party, maintaining a serious attitude.
Meng Yiyun unconsciously followed her and chanted, "ying-ying-ying."
Yin Yinying: ...
"Do you not distinguish between front and back nasal sounds?"
The other party nodded and said, "Our dialect doesn't have this concept, so I can't pronounce this sound."
No wonder.
Yin Yinying decided to forgive this person temporarily.
"No, I'm not here to discuss this kind of issue with you." Meng Yiyun emphasized, holding his head high and chest out to regain his dignity.
"Oh." Yin Yinying nodded, "What's the matter? Tell me."
This attitude.
It's like the tone a boss uses to talk to his subordinates.
This made Meng Yiyun pause unconsciously.
"Have you ever been a trainee?" she asked.
At this time, she looked more like someone who was humbly seeking advice.
Yin Yinying: “No.”
What are trainees? Can they be eaten?
This is something that is standard for a heroine, and she, a mere cannon fodder, is not qualified to participate.
"Have you any relevant experience?" Meng Yiyun was stunned and then asked.
Yin Yinying continued to shake her head.
"Or have you received special training?"
The other person shook his head like a rattle.
"Then how did you get an A grade?" The other person opened his inquiring eyes and stared at her, expecting her answer.
Good question.
Yin Yinying also wanted to know.
"To be honest, when I first saw your performance, I also laughed along."
Yin Yinying: ...
Thank you, I understand.
The latter continued, "But when I heard the comments from Mr. Ji later, I also felt that it made sense."
"Even though your makeup is really ugly, your fashion sense is completely off the mark, your singing skills are terrible, and your body movements are so weak they look like they're about to fall apart..."
Yin Yinying made a stop gesture.
"Stop, stop, stop. There's no need to say these words anymore. Please say something good."
"Ah, okay." Meng Yiyun was stunned for a moment before he spoke again, "But just like what Emperor Ji said, you're just not serious about it. You're actually quite capable, right?"
Yin Yinying:?
"No, no, no, I don't have the ability." She quickly evaded the question.
As a small cannon fodder, I am most afraid of being praised.
As the saying goes, there is no reward without merit. There is absolutely no good thing in being praised by others.
"No, you do!"
"I really don't."
"If I say yes, then yes."
"Well, I do."
"No, you didn't!"
“…”
Yin Yinying looked at the other person with an expression that said, "See, I really don't have the ability."
Meng Yiyun was so anxious that she was about to cry again.
"You are so modest that it puts me to shame."
“…” Yin Yinying wondered what she had done.
She silently handed over a tissue. She hated to see her beautiful sister crying in front of her.
"Thank you." Meng Yiyun was even more moved. "You are not only talented, but also such a nice person. No wonder you got an A!"
Yin Yinying: ...
Help.
Stop praising me.
She is just a little cannon fodder.
I really can't bear it.
He laughed dryly twice and felt depressed.
Meng Yiyun enthusiastically pulled Yin Yinying aside and sat down face to face with her. His expression gradually became innocent. "Then can you teach me some methods?"
Yin Yinying:?
"Actor Ji's words really hit home for me. Honestly, I'm too embarrassed to say I had three years of trainee experience. It's too embarrassing."
"So, can you be my mentor and guide my singing and dancing skills?"
