Joyce likes to learn about the culture of Country C because he thinks the language of Country C is sometimes magical. Sometimes they can use just a few words to express very profound or complicated connotations.
Therefore, with the blessing of excellent language talent, Joyce can speak the languages of many countries, including Country C.
Unlike many people in Country A who think everyone in Country C looks the same, with no way to distinguish them, Joyce sees everyone, including himself, as ugly. But he's not face-blind; he can accurately distinguish who's uglier, who's even uglier, and who's so ugly he doesn't want to look at them a second time.
Sometimes Joyce couldn't help but wonder why this world, full of ugliness, still exists today? When people face each other, can they really endure the disgust that arises spontaneously?
Many people say that Joyce has a bad temper, especially during filming, and he has made countless crew members and actors cry. In fact, a big reason for this is not that the actors or crew are not dedicated, but that they have offended their director.
This is the truth.
Joyce lived in such an arrogant and selfish way, hiding his extremely arrogant and contemptuous heart under the body of a tyrant on the set, and no one has seen through it until now.
Ding Dong
Joyce's phone received a text message from a friend. This friend was a musician who composed and performed music that Joyce considered beautiful. Whether it was film or music, art always reached the same goal, so Joyce and the musician got along well and gradually became friends.
Joyce's musician friend didn't say anything else, but simply sent him a downloaded video, as if he had something to share with him.
Joyce raised his eyebrows, blocked out his agent's noisy voice, and clicked on the video. He only had time to see half of the person's face before the video was suddenly retracted.
"Sorry, I sent it to the wrong person. Didn't you see anything?" Joyce's musician friend was very regretful. He just wanted to transfer the downloaded video to his computer, but he accidentally clicked on the wrong Joyce dialog box.
Joyce: ???!!!!
He stole my dream!? Joyce was so shocked that his mind was in a trance. Then, when he finally realized what was happening, his eyes were red and he spoke incoherently, "He is alive. My dream. Easton stole my dream? No, no, this is even more perfect than my dream. How could it be?"
Joyce opened the dialog box with trembling hands, but he could no longer find the video.
"No, no, no." Joyce shook his head in denial. Then, amidst everyone's surprised gazes, he stood up and ran away. "I'm going to find him."
A fleeting glimpse, and a glance that lasts a lifetime.

"You're back? What were you doing just now?" Ji Xin asked indifferently when she saw Ji Xinghe walking into the living room.
Ji Xinghe shook his new phone and said, "My phone broke yesterday. I'm going to buy a new one."
Zhao Wan waved to Ji Xinghe. Perhaps because of the few days of buffer time, Zhao Wan was no longer as emotional towards Ji Xinghe as before, especially in front of Ji Shian, she looked like a gentle mother.
"Xiao Xin is already waiting for you. You and Xiao Xin go to your uncle's house today. Remember to be sensible and don't make your uncle angry."
Ji Xin told Ji Xinghe yesterday that they would go to Zhao Wan's parents' home, the Zhao family, today. So Ji Xinghe got up very early today and went out. When he came back, the Ji family had just sat together for breakfast.
Ji Xinghe nodded and sat obediently on the chair waiting for Ji Xin to finish breakfast.
"You were quite appealing to Mr. Lin at yesterday's birthday party, and he probably had a good impression of you. In a few days, when there's a chance, let Ji Hao take you to some gatherings. If you have some sense, it would be best if you could establish a relationship with the young master of the Lin family." Ji Shi'an said this, but it was just a casual remark at best.
He knew that the children of the Lin family, the Zhao family, and other powerful families actually looked down on Ji Xinghe and Ji Hao's status. However, whenever Ji Hao asked Ji Shian for money under the pretext of knowing people or gathering with these young masters, Ji Shian was always more generous than usual.
Ji Xinghe continued to nod in agreement, acting like a well-behaved boy the entire time. Even when Ji Shian mentioned Ji Hao, he turned around and gave Ji Hao a friendly smile.
Although this smile was hidden under the mask, no one saw it.
Although Ji Xin was reluctant to bring Ji Xinghe to the Zhao family to show off, she couldn't delay too much. She wiped her mouth modestly, then stood up, picked up the bag on the sofa, and said to Ji Xinghe, "Let's go. Don't keep my uncle and the others waiting too long."
"good."
The Zhao family was far away from the Ji family. Originally, the two families were quite close to each other, but later, by chance, Ji Xin's uncle bought a house that happened to be very close to the Zhao family's main manor, which was also the Zhao family where Zhao Zhen lived.
In order to get closer to the Zhao family, with whom Ji Xin's uncle had long been estranged and whose blood ties had become so distant, Ji Xin's uncle moved his residence to that house ten years ago.
This trick was quite effective. Everyone saw each other all day long, and coupled with the ancestral incense, the Zhao family was willing to help Ji Xin's uncle. Gradually, the Ji family and the Zhao family, which were originally equally powerful, began to distance themselves from each other.
Every time this matter was brought up, although Ji Shian didn't say anything, his expression showed that he wasn't in a good mood. He might even be cursing Uncle Ji Xin for his bad luck.
The driver drove along the way, and Ji Xin was reading a fashion magazine. Ji Xinghe knew that he was not popular, so he consciously stopped talking to Ji Xin.
Anyway, he has someone to talk to.
"Tong, why did my video just get deleted? Don't you know that destroying someone's financial resources is like killing their parents?"
The system does not answer.
"Alas, actually I know it even if you don't say it. It's all because of my lovable appearance. It's normal for the saying "blue friends are the source of trouble" to trigger dark thoughts in some powerful and shameless people. Fortunately, I was not reborn in ancient times. Otherwise, I would definitely be regarded as a country disaster and would be cursed for all eternity." Ji Xinghe did not feel resentful or any other emotions at this moment. The video he had worked so hard to shoot was deleted by someone, but he seemed a little too calm and composed.
When nothing worked, he was finally pushed to the limit and took off his mask and walked around the street. He didn't believe that he couldn't conquer her enough!
"A-choo!" Ji Xinghe sneezed.
"A-choo!" Ji Xinghe sneezed again.
Ji Xin turned to look at him, "Are you catching a cold?"
Ji Xinghe quickly leaned aside and covered his nose with his mask. "What perfume did you put on?"
Ji Xinghe felt a little itchy on his arms and face, and he wanted to sneeze whenever he smelled Ji Xin's scent.
Ji Xin nodded indifferently and said, "I sprayed it. It's the latest model." The lavender top note of the perfume lingered at the tip of her nose, making Ji Xin feel very good.
Perhaps Ji Xinghe was too young when he was abducted, or perhaps he had never been exposed to lavender before, so he didn't seem to know he was allergic to lavender. But Ji Xin, who was old enough to remember things by then, knew that Ji Xinghe was allergic to lavender.
There won't be any serious problems, just a rash will appear all over the body, including the face, and it will be extremely itchy, making people restless and irritable.
Although Ji Xinghe was not the person in Ji Xin's memory, the system adjusted his physique to that of Ji Xin.
Sure enough, Ji Xinghe was restless all the way. Sometimes he felt itchy and wanted to stand up and scratch, and sometimes he felt like sneezing. Fortunately, Ji Xinghe opened the car window in time. Although he still felt itchy, it was not as severe as before.

"Brother Zhao, it's a family gathering, isn't it inappropriate for us to go?" Lin Jingze looked at Zhao Zhen with some embarrassment, thinking, "Aren't you busy, old man? Rumors about your young artists are flying all over the place, don't you have to deal with it?"
Zhao Zhen disagreed. "What's wrong with that? Wasn't the reason Zhao Lianpeng moved here to make our families closer? I'm giving him this opportunity today, why wouldn't he be happy?"
Lin Jingze and Zhou Minghui could only nod helplessly upon hearing this. The two of them were so worried about the stunning beauty in their hearts that they tossed and turned in bed, and they couldn't concentrate on anything else.
However, they both agreed not to show the video to Zhao Zhen, and they didn't even have such an idea. Since Brother Zhao fell in love with the Ji family at first sight, that was also good. They wished Brother Zhao to get his beautiful wife soon.
To prevent more people from seeing the video, Zhou Minghui even had someone delete it. Of course, when he deleted the video, he specifically instructed the person in charge not to open it to watch it.
"So, is the child of the Ji family really that good-looking? How could you, Brother Zhao, be obsessed with him so much?" Zhou Minghui was a little curious.
Zhao Zhen's expression seemed to be savoring the moment, "It looks good." It's more than just good-looking.
Zhou Minghui disagreed. Before yesterday, he might have been curious, but after yesterday, he no longer felt that Ji Xinghe, the handsome man that Zhao Zhen mentioned, was still attractive to him.
Having seen the beauty of the ocean and the greatest beauty in the world, what do those mediocre women matter to you?
Lin Jingze didn't say anything, but it looked like he was thinking the same thing as Zhou Minghui. However, he had already realized earlier, back in the plum blossom forest that day, that he didn't think he could look up to anyone else in his life besides him.
What a coincidence! Zhao Zhen actually thought the same thing, but he didn't want to say it.
The three of them arrived at the gate of the Zhao family, each with their own thoughts.
Zhao's living room
Zhao Lianpeng was obviously not satisfied with Ji Xinghe's ADHD-like behavior. He felt that his nephew's manners were really not good. It seemed that he had just been found and had been spoiled and had not been corrected yet.
Ji Xinghe had actually tried his best to restrain his actions, but he couldn't help it because he had been ticklish since his previous life, and he was very ticklish.
He thought it was because he was so adorable when he was little. Who wouldn't love a fair and tender little baby? Especially since most of the babies in the orphanage were missing limbs and abandoned by their parents. A healthy and cheerful child like Ji Xinghe stood out even more among them.
The helpers at the orphanage always loved to make him laugh. They would grab his chubby little feet with their fingers and tickle them, and then the little baby would giggle uncontrollably.
When Ji Xinghe grew up and heard the dean talk about this, he firmly believed that the reason why he was so ticklish now was that he was scared by being tickled when he was a child, which caused him psychological trauma.
Finally, Ji Xinghe couldn't help it any longer. Although he looked a little embarrassed, he quickly said to his uncle Zhao Lianpeng and his cousins who were sitting with him, "Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xin looked at her cousin who was sitting next to her uncle and smiled knowingly.
Ji Xinghe was taken to the bathroom by the servant, then he waved to let the servant go back. After the servant left, he looked left and right for a long time, and after making sure that there was no one there, he impatiently took off his mask in front of the mirror on the sink.
Sure enough, a few red spots had appeared on his face, and the mask was making him extremely itchy. Ji Xinghe didn't dare scratch it with his hands, fearing that scratching would make it itchy. He could only turn on the faucet and flush his face with cold water.
As soon as the cool water touched his cheeks, the area that was originally burning due to allergies instantly felt much better. Ji Xinghe simply filled the pool with water and buried his entire face in it.
A few seconds later, Ji Xinghe raised his head. His already long, damp hair was gathered behind his head with his fingers, revealing a flawless forehead. The corners of his eyes were a bright crimson from the water.
"Why do I feel like I'm still so good-looking? I'm clearly allergic, so why haven't I been disfigured yet?" Ji Xinghe muttered to himself.
Feeling that the itchiness on his face had eased a lot, Ji Xinghe put on his mask again and turned around to go back to the living room.
Then he saw the red-haired man who was in the same group with Zhao Zhen at the birthday party that day standing behind him.
Wow!
The author has something to say: Little Star: Do you big pigs like to flash from behind so much? It scared your dad to death.
