Chen Ze was not a petty person, and Jing Ling was just making a harmless joke. After leaving the audition place and on the way back, Shen Ze asked Jing Ling what exactly happened with the audition.
"I get angry when I talk about this! Aze, you've screwed me over, you know that!" Jing Ling was indignant, "Didn't you see the expressions of the judges after I finished my performance? It was as if I had been constipated for a few days. Later I realized that I tried the wrong play, playing an ordinary person as a perverted murderer... Aze, where is the murderer role you promised me? Why did you find me an ordinary person???"
Chen Ze looked at him expressionlessly, "This matter was contacted by Mr. Shang. Since everyone in it can be considered a murderer, they asked you to take a relatively easy task. I didn't expect such a mistake to happen. I'm very sorry about this. But I have a question. Haven't you read the script before?"
Jing Ling refused to answer this question. He would say that he had preconceived notions that this character was a murderer, so he tried to figure it out from the perspective of a murderer. Honest, dull, introverted... aren't these the common traits of many perverted murderers? On the surface, they may seem harmless, but when pushed to the limit, they can do anything... In short, it's all due to preconceived notions.
After returning to the hotel, Jing Ling simply packed his luggage and set off for the airport. Chen Ze had booked a flight for him for this afternoon because he had classes on Monday morning, and he also made an appointment with Jing Qiu to go out for a walk in the evening.
The flight from Jiangcheng to Qincheng arrived at 6:30 pm. After Jing Ling left the airport, he hailed a taxi back to school. He then stayed in the dormitory for about twenty minutes and went out at nearly eight o'clock. He walked through the busy streets and came to the Normal University next door. After arriving at the dormitory, he called Jing Qiu. Less than five minutes later, she came down from the building, accompanied by her roommate.
"Xiao Ling, this is my roommate Yang Zhenzhen." Jing Qiu introduced the girl, "Zhenzhen, this is my brother." She originally wanted to say his name, but swallowed the words back when they came to her lips, because she thought that Jing Ling is now a star. Not only are people around her following his performance in "Changle Song", but she has also heard passers-by talking about him more than once in private. It might be troublesome if he was recognized.
Fortunately, Yang Zhenzhen was quite calm and didn't think too much about it. She looked at Jing Ling curiously and said with a smile, "Hello, handsome Jing!"
Jing Ling nodded, "Hello, Sister Zhenzhen."
Yang Zhenzhen came to see Jing Ling just for fun. After seeing him, she said to Jing Qiu, "Have fun," and left. The brother and sister walked out of the Normal University gate, turned right and went directly to the food street in the university town. On the way, Jing Qiu told Jing Ling about some recent events and mentioned the TV series he starred in.
"Xiao Ling, let me tell you, the other three people in our dormitory watched 'Changle Song' in which you acted. The finale was broadcast yesterday. Jia Jia cried when she watched it, and she even told me that she must go to the Jiaotong University next door to wait for you and look at you a few more times to make up for her broken heart!" Although they both have the surname Jing, Jing Qiu looks basically the same as Jing Ling, and there are too many people with the surname Jing, so if she didn't say it, no one would associate her with Jing Ling.
Jing Ling smiled unkindly when he heard this. The original novel ended with a double murder, but in the TV series it was changed to Zhao Zizhen committing suicide, and the jade hairpin that was originally inserted into Li Yu's chest was replaced with him.
In fact, the screenwriter suggested changing it to a comedy ending at the beginning, but Jiang Sijin insisted on his own opinion. After many negotiations between the two parties, Jiang Sijin reluctantly took a step back - the original death of two was changed to the death of one. Because she felt that Zhao Zizheng was such a proud person, even if he loved Li Yu in his heart, he would not be willing to share her with others. Emperors never have long-lasting love, and Li Yu is no exception. Perhaps at the beginning she really wanted to be with Zhao Zizhen for the rest of her life, but she changed after she had the power of life and death, otherwise she would not have imprisoned him for six years.
Jing Qiu was full after walking less than one-third of the way through the food street, so he just focused on the fun from then on. Both sides of this street are filled with various stalls, selling not only food, but also clothes, jewelry, cosmetics, etc. After walking for a while, they came to a stall filled with all kinds of stuffed toys. The owner put a poster in front of the stall, saying that if one could write from 1 to 500 without any mistakes, he could take the largest teddy bear on the stall for free. The teddy bear was 1.8 meters tall and snow-white. It costs 10 yuan to write once. If you fail the challenge, there will be no refund, but you will receive a small key chain.
There are many similar businesses, such as throwing balls into buckets, smashing basketballs into cans, trapping goldfish with bamboo traps, etc. In fact, it is all a kind of scam, and many people know the principle. However, it doesn’t cost much, and it’s just for fun. Jing Ling looked at the people sitting at the table and writing carefully, and suddenly became interested.
"Sister, do you want that bear?" he asked Jing Qiu.
The latter looked at the big bear and was a little tempted, so he nodded and said, "I want to, but this is difficult."
Jing Ling smiled and said, "It's only 500. Wait, it will be yours soon!"
The boss happened to hear this and said with a smile, "Young man, you have great ambition! There are papers and pens on the table. Keep going!"
Jing Ling handed over ten dollars, then walked directly to the table, took a piece of paper and a pen, and started writing quickly, looking very confident. Seeing how quickly Jing Ling was writing, the boss suspected that he was just pretending, so he walked over to take a look. He was shocked when he saw him and remained stunned until Jing Ling finished writing.
This is a very challenging game. Several people who sat down before wrote the wrong numbers one after another and put down their pens consciously. Because Chinese people love to join in the fun, they all came over to see when Jing Ling would fail. Then they were frightened like their boss.
It's normal to write the game quickly in the beginning, but as time goes by, you'll start to hesitate and make mistakes. But this point was totally unapplicable to Jing Ling. He wrote very quickly from beginning to end, without any hesitation. Moreover, despite his fast speed, his numbers were written very standardly, without any need to be deciphered due to his sloppy handwriting.
Soon he reached the number 500, put down his pen, picked up the paper and handed it to the boss, "Boss, you can check it. If there is no problem, I will take it away."
I didn't expect that someone could actually write it. The boss was devastated at the moment, but he had to continue running his stall with tears in his eyes. Even though he had just watched Jing Ling finish writing, he still checked it carefully, just in case there was really something wrong. Unfortunately, the final result proved that he had thought too much. Not to mention that there was nothing wrong with it, there wasn't even a scribbled handwriting. There was no way he could cheat or make a false claim. Although he didn't intend to cheat.
The boss was a 1.80-meter-tall strong man. When he handed the bear to Jing Ling, he gave people the feeling of a pitiful little girl who had lost her favorite toy. Jing Ling got goosebumps all over his body. After taking the bear, he took Jing Qiu away.
Afterwards, Jing Ling went to challenge all the similar games on this street. He never missed a beat and got whatever he wanted. It was no exaggeration. Whenever he visited a stall, the owner's face looked as bitter as a bitter gourd. Fortunately, no matter how powerful he was, he only had two hands. Although he smashed a lot of things, he only picked out one or two to take away. But even so, in the end, both of their hands were full of various things.
When passing by a shopping mall, Jing Ling saw the claw machines outside and his heart began to stir again. Jing Qiu saw through her thoughts and was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "Xiao Ling, we really can't take it down!"
Jing Ling was actually aware of this in his heart, so he could only give up with great pain.
There were a lot of people on the street, and Jing Ling had too many spoils today, so he stood out in the crowd. Jing Qiu was a thin-skinned person and felt embarrassed after being stared at for a long time, but she was reluctant to throw these things away.
Jing Ling had seen the map of the area near the university town. After thinking about it for a while, he led Jing Qiu into a quieter alley. Compared to the bustling street, this alley seems like another world, narrow, dark and silent. The road is winding and you have to walk for a long time before you come across one or two houses with lights on. There are mostly low buildings here, and even the lights are dim.
As they walked, Jing Ling emphasized to Jing Qiu, "Go about 20 meters ahead and turn the corner to reach the back door of the Normal University. Sister, today is a special situation. I couldn't help sweeping so many things, so I took you this way. Don't run here alone in the future, even if someone else follows you."
"Yeah." Jing Qiu replied. To be honest, she felt a little creepy along the way, but she still felt safe with Jing Ling by her side.
There was only a short distance to the exit. Jing Ling was about to say something when a burst of ugly curses suddenly broke out in the quiet alley, "Stinky bitch, who the hell told you to buy toys for this money-loser?! I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and kept her in the first place. Now she has to provide food and clothes. If I had known earlier, I would have strangled her to death!"
With a bang, the door of the house on the right in front suddenly opened, and something rolled out of the door.
Jing Qiu was startled and almost dropped the thing in his hand.
"It's okay, we were just having a quarrel." Jing Ling comforted her and stepped in front of her.
Thanks to his excellent night vision, he was able to see clearly that the person who had just rolled out of the door was a woman with messy hair and obvious bruises at the corners of her eyes and mouth.
