Taking advantage of the New Year holiday, Jiang Ling actually underwent a reversible ligation operation after the hospital opened. Zhou Jingan accompanied her throughout the whole process and wanted to take her home many times, but she stopped him every time.
"Ling'er! How are you?" He ran over as soon as the door opened.
Jiang Ling was still asleep, and he sat by the bed for a long time. After Jiang Ling woke up, he caught him with tears in his eyes again.
She smiled and hooked her fingertips around his, "Master Zhou, you're crying secretly again."
Zhou Jing'an suddenly looked up, raised his hand and pressed the bell to ask the doctor to come over. After getting the doctor's affirmation, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and held the cup of water for her to drink through the straw.
"It doesn't hurt, and the doctor said that all I need to do is rest well." Jiang Ling shook his hand and looked at the red corners of his eyes.
She was a semi-public figure after all, and matters like seeing a doctor involved privacy. Zhou Jing'an didn't want others to disturb her, so he specially chose a single room and insisted that she stay for a day before going home.
Jiang Ling couldn't persuade him and asked him where Zhou Xian was.
"Please ask the dean to take care of it." He sniffed.
Jiang Ling pursed her lips and smiled, raised her hand to hook his collar and pull it down, and said in a deliberately soft voice: "Let me kiss you, it won't hurt at all if I kiss you."
Zhou Jing'an buried his head and let her kiss him again and again. Soon, the red at the corners of his eyes spread to his ears.
She smiled and said, "I'm hungry."
He immediately stood up, put on his coat, asked her what she wanted to eat, and then turned around to buy it.
Seven days later, Jiang Ling was full of life, and only Zhou Jing'an stayed by her side, admonishing her not to work and not to catch a cold.
Jiang Ling lay on the sofa watching Zhou Xian playing with building blocks. She pulled Zhou Jingan, who was mopping the floor, and said, "The landlord of the shop is back. We're going to sign the contract tomorrow. What do you think?"
He nodded, "Okay." He leaned over and covered her with the blanket.
The next day, after the contract was signed, Zhou Jing'an and Jiang Ling started to pack up.
He pushed her to sit on a chair nearby, pulled Zhou Xian in front of her, and said seriously, "Don't move. Sit here."
Jiang Ling smiled helplessly, "I can still sweep the floor."
"No." Zhou Jing'an put masks and hats on her and Zhou Xian again, "The dust is too heavy. Just watch."
So the adult and the child watched Zhou Jing'an, "fully armed", going in and out of the store to clean, sweeping the floor, mopping the floor, wiping the windows, until dark, and the store was as clean as new.
The shop is divided into two floors, and its layout is somewhat similar to the flower shop where Jiang Ling works.
In the next few days, the two of them bought everything they needed. The shop was new and did not require any additional decoration. It was already in good shape before the Lantern Festival. All the procedures had been completed and they were just waiting to open.
"Now all that's left is recruiting students." Jiang Ling asked him, "Do you have any ideas?"
Zhou Jingan smiled faintly, "With the help of an easterly wind, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Jiang Ling looked at him, pondering to herself, and then she understood. She smiled and said, "What a thief, Zhou Jing'an."
"Listening to the Cicadas in the Wind" is confirmed to be released during the May Day holiday. Su Yan put in a lot of effort to get it released so quickly. In early February, Su Yan said that he would start preparing for publicity and asked the staff to communicate with them about the schedule.
You want to take advantage of this favorable situation, right?
Zhou Jing'an remained silent and smiled, "It's just a rational use of resources. I'm not a mean person."
However, Jiang Ling still told him in advance not to overdo it, otherwise he would steal the limelight and would inevitably be "attacked" by Qin Yuchuan and Ye Mei's fans.
Zhou Jing'an nodded, "I know, I will be careful."
Although he was relatively new to the industry, he had heard about these things. Taking advantage of the situation to publicize it was a strategic move that would definitely not backfire.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, the film's creators were required to post promotional content about the film on Weibo, and were all required to provide a costume-cross-dressing video, leaving the rest of the details to their own creation.
Su Yan specially found a studio and asked the makeup artist at the time to dress them up in the costumes from the movie.
After changing his costume, Qin Yuchuan said one of his iconic lines from the movie in a very polite manner. Ye Mei took out a bowl of Yuanxiao and told them to go and eat Yuanxiao in a cool and domineering manner.
The others either echoed the movie elements or fitted the Lantern Festival theme. Jiang Ling simply said a line, looking lively and playful, and looked like "Xiao Hui" himself.
Zhou Jing'an changed his clothes and performed a few simple moves from the movie with a sword without saying a word.
The first wave of promotional videos released sparked quite a bit of discussion.
In addition to the anticipation for the movie's release and the praise from fans, Jiang Ling and Zhou Jing'an also attracted some discussion.
"Didn't Jiang Ling retire from the entertainment industry?"
"This is my last movie before I retire, and I'm semi-retiring. Please be informed."
"I have to say she has a really good face, and red suits her really well, but I don't know how her acting will be this time."
"I don't expect much from her acting skills. At worst, I'll just look at her face. Besides, the fourth female lead doesn't have many scenes."
"Who is this actor who didn't even appear in any blog post during the official announcement? I've never heard of him."
"I don't know him, but he's so handsome!"
"Your temperament is also first-rate! Your swordplay has me dazzled!"
"He and Jiang Ling play a couple, how can these two faces together be so pleasing to the eye!"
"The crew has released some behind-the-scenes footage, everyone, go check it out!"
The crew officially released some behind-the-scenes footage, mainly of the male and female protagonists, but there are also clips of everyone being together.
The comments in the front row are basically controlled by fans of the male and female protagonists, and there are only a few comments from passers-by in the back.
Some people are looking forward to it, saying that this is the best martial arts film produced by the team in the past two years; some people are sarcastic, saying that the current entertainment industry has long been rotten and they no longer expect anything good to be produced; some people are taking a wait-and-see attitude, saying that the makeup and costumes look okay, and they will go to the cinema to watch it when the time comes.
