Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Running with the ball?!
This year, the most popular program on the Internet is a life-swapping program.
Children from the city and left-behind children in rural areas undergo an exchange program for 15 days. The program is warm and healing. During these short 15 days, the children's growth and subtle changes touch the hearts of every audience member.
Now, the second season of the show is being prepared. In order to provide the audience with a more immersive experience, the planning team has started a new round of activities, handing over the voting rights for the guest auditions to netizens, and directly killing the speculation about the so-called "script" in the cradle.
The program is still in the preparation stage and the guest audition session has just begun. Most netizens click directly into the live broadcast room through the official WeChat link, so the popularity of the live broadcast room is not very high yet.
The screen in the live broadcast room lit up, and the beautiful scenery of Yongrui Village in the southern suburbs of the city came into view like a landscape painting.
[The show started off with a sunset attack, it was a great shot, it brought me back to my comfort zone...]
[So beautiful, city dwellers love nature. I’m following this episode!]
During the guest audition period, the program had a slow tempo, accompanied by soft background music, as if taking the audience on a real tour of this beautiful mountain village.
Yongrui Village is located in a remote area, a real valley, with undeveloped scenery and picturesque scenery, but the economy is backward. Most of the young people in the village have left their hometowns to work, and those who stay are basically the elderly and children. Occasionally, there are a few left-behind women who hurriedly walked in front of the camera and stopped to look at it curiously.
The program team brought a welcome gift to the children.
The trunk was filled with gifts. The staff had informed the village officials in advance, and the children lined up under the organization of the adults, but they still rushed to get in.
The live camera swept through every corner of the village, stopping inadvertently.
What suddenly caught people's attention was a little ball with round eyes.
A group of children gathered together, jumping in front of the camera equipment, vying for the gifts brought by the program crew, picking and choosing, and making a chaotic noise.
Among so many people, the child standing in the corner was the quietest.
She was younger than all the other children, with soft, unkempt hair that curled up on her head like a weed.
She had a pair of clear almond-shaped eyes like black grapes and a chubby face, but she was wearing clothes that didn't fit her well. The clothes were very old and dirty.
Little Tuanzi listens to the staff the most, doesn't fight for things, and doesn't make any noise.
She stood on tiptoe as she waited quietly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
The program crew obviously did not expect that there would be so many left-behind children in the village, and the toys they prepared were not sufficient.
When it was the little dumpling's turn, the staff member spoke apologetically, his voice unconsciously softening.
"Sorry, no more."
Little Dumpling tilted his head and looked at the storage box.
Empty.
"No..." she repeated in a baby voice.
【Ahhh, the baby is so cute. 】
[What a good kid... You don't even cry! ]
【Toys! Give it to her! Now!】
[I can't bear to see a child looking lost. Give me the address and I'll have the errand boy deliver one.]
"Zhuzhu!" A sharp voice rang out.
Zhuzhu turned around anxiously, kicked his short legs, and ran back with a "thump thump" sound.
"Wait a moment." The gentle staff waved again, with a smile in her voice, "Come back first."
Zhuzhu stopped.
In the camera, the worn clothes were large and hung loosely on the baby's thin shoulders.
She turned around, tilted her little face up, and looked for the direction where the sound came from among the group of adults.
Finally, the little girl's eyes rested on the plush bunny in the staff sister's hand.
That was the pendant that the staff took off from their backpacks.
"Your name is Zhuzhu, right?"
"This is for you."
A soft little pendant was suddenly stuffed into Zhuzhu's hand.
She blinked, obviously surprised.
The woman who had just called the child came over.
Qin Meilan heard early in the morning that the program crew would be coming today, so she dressed up with extra care.
"You are the hosts of the big TV station, right?" Qin Meilan raised her eyebrows and glanced at the toy in Zhuzhu's hand, "Can you give my son a toy car as well?"
Her eyes were fixed on the open trunk of the program crew's car. Seeing that there was nothing in the storage box, her flattering smile froze and she frowned.
Little Dumpling was still standing nearby, holding a furry doll in her small arms.
There was a lot of discussion in the bullet screen area of the live broadcast room.
The staff member didn't reply for a moment, and Qin Meilan immediately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"I understand, I understand. I'm not greedy. I'll exchange this with you." She stretched out her hand and tried to snatch the small pendant from Zhuzhu's hand.
The staff member subconsciously protected the child, raised his hand to stop him, and explained to the man at the same time.
From the beginning to the end, Zhuzhu held the baby tightly in his arms, like a little master protecting his beloved new friend.
"I told you to run faster and grab a car for your brother." Qin Meilan lowered her voice and muttered unhappily, "Tsk, you can't even do this."
After all, it happened in front of the camera, so Xiaotuanzi’s rabbit pendant was not taken away.
Zhuzhu was obviously used to it and covered the rabbit ears with his little hands.
Don't be afraid, it will be fine in a while.
【Woo woo woo my baby! 】
[Can I get the little girl's contact address? I'm willing to sponsor her with clothes, toys and school supplies.]
[Come on, I've seen many families like this. Can the supplies I sent really be used by her? I'm afraid her brother will take advantage of them in the end.]
[The child is really pretty. He looks a bit like Ningning. My mom took a look at him just now and she also thought they looked alike.]
[Which Ningning? ]
[Have the Internet changed its people again? I don’t even know the child star Ji Ning! ]
…
The name "Jining" was obviously unfamiliar to some young netizens in the live broadcast room, and passers-by immediately became enthusiastic about it.
Twenty years ago, Ji Ning was the most well-known child star.
She was only five years old at the time. She was full of natural talent when performing and was cute and likable in interviews outside of the performance. She was loved by everyone. It was no exaggeration to say that she was the national lady. Because she left many iconic and excellent works, Ji Ning received great attention. Even though she faded out of the circle for several years, the audience would still mention her name with emotion when talking about child stars.
In recent years, the Internet has become increasingly developed, and passers-by occasionally reveal Ji Ning's current situation on various forums and social media.
There was a lot of noise when Ji Ning retired from the entertainment industry. She had verbally agreed to a role in a new film, but it was said that her parents suddenly raised the price, which caused a huge commotion. The director angrily scolded them for being short-sighted and saying that they were cutting off their child's future.
In the end, the play was not performed, and Ji Ning seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, disappearing silently.
Today, the former child star has grown up and become an amateur, but he still bears the stigma.
Just search the name and you’ll find lots of negative information and ridicule.
Some people say that Ji Ning's family background is complicated, which has developed her into a petty and self-abased person. Her pretty face has long been damaged, and no one would recognize her if she were found on the street.
A flash in the pan, forgotten by the crowd.
[My neighbor who was in the same class as her said that her family treated her as a cash cow and just ignored her after squeezing her dry. They had no intention of nurturing her at all.]
【Speaking of Ji Ning, it's such a pity. 】
[It's just that she didn't catch up with the good times. If she was still active on the screen, the roles she played as a child would be enough for her to live on for the rest of her life.]
[Do you really think the audience is hungry? She has long been disabled. There is no need to make an epic poem about her past. It is useless to summon her spirit. This bowl of rice is not something that everyone can eat. ]
[No matter what Ji Ning looks like now that she has grown up, little Ji Ning will always have a childhood filter in my mind.]
…
Beicheng International Airport.
The plane landed and Ji Ning walked out of the arrival hall with a suitcase in one hand.
The accompanying personal assistant broke out in a cold sweat, not knowing how to explain to the Ji family.
Four years ago, the daughter of the wealthy Ji family in North City did a series of unorthodox actions in her family's eyes in order to refuse an arranged marriage.
The assistant still remembers the day when the family of the proposed marriage partner came to the Ji family's home.
Ji Ning went down the spiral staircase holding the railing and dropped a bombshell in a mischievous and joking manner.
The Ji family was in chaos, and the always elegant and dignified mother Ji lost her composure for the first time.
Ji Ning, on the other hand, seemed to be fine, in a happy mood, and spent her pregnancy period peacefully.
Until the child was born, no one except herself knew the identity of the child's father.
The young assistant was very shocked at the time. Everything that happened to the daughter of the Ji family was really too dramatic.
Isn't this dribbling literature?!
However, reality is often more dramatic. When the little girl was born, an accident happened.
Ji Ning suffered a serious car accident, and then the little girl disappeared. When she woke up, she had lost her memory.
Ji Ning woke up in the hospital and forgot everything.
She still has the mind of an adult, but most of her memories remain from her childhood, and she has forgotten that absurd episode in her life.
It's more like ancient text.
Ji's mother calmed down.
She had never made a mistake in her life, the only stain was brought by Ji Ning. The daughter of the Ji family must abide by the rules and be a real lady from a noble family. Now that she is disabled, she can start over again.
In order to prevent the domestic rumors from reaching Ji Ning's ears, Ji's mother sent her abroad.
Someone was assigned to keep an eye on her, and even her social and living circles were tailor-made for her.
But now, she suddenly came back.
It is very much like a chapter in an ancient text.
Chapter 1, Bai Yueguang returns to China.
"Your wife might be unhappy if you come back so suddenly..."
Ji Ning walked out of the airport and fell behind alone. Every step was so familiar.
She has felt something is wrong these days.
As if she was trapped in an equation, she followed the prescribed procedure step by step, but the life she walked out was not her own.
Even a smile has a fixed, regulated curve.
Smile, smile, a decent and gentle smile...
Ji Ning frowned.
It shouldn't be like this.
The assistant stopped.
So many years have passed, many things have been settled, but the truth has always been buried. She watched with her own eyes as the eccentric and jumpy eldest daughter of the Ji family never laughed wantonly again, and became a truly decent lady from a wealthy family, gentle and obedient.
The assistant turned around and said, "The car that will pick you up is already here..."
Her voice paused, and she was stunned for a long while, her face instantly turned into horror.
Ji Ning practiced smiling seriously.
She grinned, and kept doing so for most of the day, using all her facial features.
Keep grinning...
Assistant:?
Miss, what are you doing with your pretty face?
