Chapter 37 Nice to meet you
As soon as Geng Guanguan finished speaking, Shu Ming looked at him with a very complicated expression.
Geng Guanguan subconsciously touched her face, then touched her newly permed, fashionable long hair...
Is there anything wrong with him?
This kid, why is he looking at him like that?
Shu Ming finally spoke: "Now?"
Geng Guanguan nodded nervously: "Yes, now."
"but……"
Shu Ming spread his hands innocently and said, "I'm going to apply for a Hong Kong and Macau Pass now. Will it take a month?"
Geng Guanguan was completely stunned.
Oops, I forgot about this!
**
So, let’s go home first.
When they came to Province M, the two brothers flew first class and lay down the entire time.
When leaving, I took economy class, transferred to a green train, and then to an electric tricycle.
Shu Ming is prone to airsickness. He gets dizzy even when sitting in first class, and even more so when sitting in economy class!
What's more, it has to wrap itself up tightly and airtightly, making the whole puppy feel dizzy and nauseous.
I didn't feel carsick when I got on the tricycle, but I was shaking so much that I felt like I was falling apart.
But when they were almost home, Shu Ming suddenly sat up, his eyes getting brighter and brighter...
"Aunt——"
Shu Ming was shouting from a long distance away. He didn't even bother to pick up his luggage. He ran down and gave a big hug to the woman waiting at the door.
The spoiled puppy is back!
Zhuang Zheng, who was standing behind him, stammered and almost couldn't speak.
After a while, a voice came out of his throat: "Mom."
The mother and son faced each other, and for a moment, they didn't know what to say.
It was Shu Ming who first broke the dull atmosphere: "I'm so hungry, is there any food, Auntie——"
My aunt turned her back and quietly wiped her eyes with her hand: "Yes! Dinner is saved for you two."
Zhuang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and followed Shu Ming somewhat uncomfortably, silently carrying the luggage, and went into the house together.
The lights in the house came on for the first time in a long time.
Shu Ming finished his meal and washed up.
She changed into her pajamas, kicked off her slippers, and threw herself into her little bed.
What's the point of having a golden or silver nest? It's still the most satisfying to lie down in your own little doghouse! Humph~
The eldest brother and aunt were talking outside the house, and Shu Ming was considerate enough not to disturb them.
After all, we haven't seen each other for several years, so we need some space to talk.
Shu Ming buried his face in the fluffy quilt that had been well exposed to the sun, reached out to turn on the night light, then began to unlock his phone and started to secretly browse... the fan group.
He would find free time from time to time to look through the fan groups, super topics, and discussion groups one by one.
It’s just that I was really busy on the set these days, so my brother did most of the work for me.
But even so, Shu Ming would still check the updates of his fans on nights when he felt a little exhausted.
When the little girls praise others, their words are very fierce.
When I start praising you, you become furious, forget everything, and lose your mind! You don’t know what heaven and earth are!
Even though Shu Ming had seen their exaggerated scenes before, he still pursed his lips a little shyly and turned over in the quilt with a red face - it can be seen that although he was a little embarrassed, this guy was obviously still happy!
Who doesn't like to be praised?
But Shu Ming's experience was limited after all. He basically watched internal discussions, where everyone was generally calm and composed, and the comments were mostly about happy praise.
Unbeknownst to him, outside, a huge uproar had already broken out after the official announcement of the production crew of "Grassland Love"!
Anonymous Forum → Online Message Area → Flowers and Plants Group
[Main Post]: "Grassland Love" officially announced a contestant's withdrawal...
1L: I looked at where the contestants ended up. SG went back to school, JYT played the eighth male supporting role in a web drama, and the limited group "Hongniang" made a weird variety show appearance and then went silent. Only S got a role in a CCTV drama... How could this be...
2L: They take it quite seriously, and it was officially announced separately. I feel like they have a lot of roles to play.
3L: Doesn't anyone else find this dark skin makeup look appealing? Oh my god, it's so wild. This is the real-life Antelope Prince.
4L: +1, it's so bitter that I'm hissing! The puppy has turned into a wolf cub.
7L: u1s1, I feel like we can get ready and put S on the list of upcoming stars. I originally thought he'd disappear into obscurity after his retirement, but he's actually been able to stage a comeback at this point. I really have to believe he's got some luck on his side...
13L: And the director is the famous "training master" Zheng Yiwei... It's so easy to meet a director who is good at teaching newcomers when you just start acting. How many young actors have been reborn after leaving Zheng Yiwei's crew... Oh no, he didn't really learn acting skills, did he?
16L:s's initial popularity stemmed from poverty alleviation efforts. While there's some suspicion of showmanship, the actions are certainly effective. And since she's from a remote area and has no negative online reputation, she seems like the type the central bank would favor.
…
23L: Those of you upstairs who didn't get to lick the pancake, please try to taste the cornstarch. The sour taste is almost overflowing.
25L: Just to cut in, are S and L close? Someone photographed them having dinner and taking a walk together privately, [picture] [picture] [picture], I feel like S got this cake, and it has something to do with L.
Anyway, ever since the crew of "Grassland Love" officially announced Shu Ming's role, the popularity about Shu Ming has risen again on the Internet!
What's more, before this, Shu Ming also had an officially recognized title of "enthusiastic citizen", which could be regarded as a boost to his favorability among passers-by, and even became a nickname for Shu Ming in the forum.
Fans were pleasantly surprised by the unexpected gift and Shu Ming’s new look.
The makeup photos released by the crew have been licked over and over by them, and they are almost covered with patina.
There’s no other reason, the new look is just too impactful!
In the photo, a handsome guy with honey-colored skin and black curly hair smiles, revealing one fang, draws the bow and arrow, and looks sideways at the camera. The moment he does so, one feels like a prey being targeted by a hunter.
In an instant, my hair stood on end, my breathing stopped, and my heart skipped a beat!
Such a completely different image...so captivating! I love it!
And what about the fans of other young actors?
The moment the official announcement was made, almost everyone sensed a sense of crisis.
In recent years, there are fewer and fewer decent young actors. Everyone is trying their best to get involved in serious dramas, but very few have successfully transformed themselves, so they all squeeze into the small pool of idol dramas.
If you tickle me, I'll slap you, but either way it's just a minor fight and not something that should be tolerated.
Now, someone has resources that are far beyond the reach of their own masters right from the start... How can they not be anxious and worried?
Therefore, there are now doubts online: whether idols who transform into actors are being unfair to their fans.
Shu fans: Hehe, our little Shu didn’t debut through a talent show, but now he debuts in a CCTV drama, so some rubbish program crews should stay away from it.
There were attempts to smear Shu Ming, but after searching for half a month, no negative information was found about him.
Shu Fan: I'm sorry, the child hardly went online in the past 18 years, and left no traces online. What's more, his education and character are all excellent, so there is really nothing to discredit about him, dear.
There are also doubts as to whether the poor acting skills of the newcomers will ruin the reputation of the entire "Grassland Love" as a masterpiece?
In fact, the fans were also worried, but they believed in Shu Ming!
From "Choice 1" all the way, this optimistic puppy has given them too many impossible miracles.
They sincerely believe in Shu Ming and believe that he can give a perfect answer this time!

Mobile phones are so hypnotic when you scroll through them.
Shu Ming's eyelashes drooped and he was about to fall asleep. A hand reached out from the side and tucked the corner of the quilt for him.
"...Brother?" Shu Ming rubbed his eyes in a daze, and when he opened his eyes, it was none other than Zhuang Zheng.
"Go to sleep." Zhuang Zheng also knew that his brother was exhausted, so he lowered his voice and patted him.
Shu Ming sat up and shook his head: "Brother, please sit down. I want to discuss something with you."
The two brothers squeezed onto a small bed, head to head, and began to discuss their next arrangements in whispers.
"Anyway, at the moment... I still really enjoy acting and singing. So I'd like to try to secure that opportunity in Hong Kong."
Shu Ming has officially stated his stance to his brother - he has no plans to leave the entertainment industry for the time being.
In fact, he had been hesitant before, but the grassland scene and the character of Bai Shan really touched him.
Shu Ming knew that this kind of emotional experience might not be something other industries could bring him.
In that case... Shu Ming has already made a decision in his mind.
Whether this circle is good or bad, he wants to try it out himself first.
Zhuang Zheng said "hmm".
He could tell that his brother really liked the role, and when filming Bai Shan, he cried a lot for the character.
Perhaps the fate of the characters and the actors really have a lot in common. From childhood to adulthood, Shu Ming and Bai Shan have had the same dreams.
They all want to see the bigger world.
"I still have a few opportunities at the moment." Shu Ming counted them on his fingers and told them to his brother one by one.
"Before leaving the set, Zheng Yiwei told me that his apprentice has a new movie coming out in the first half of next year, an art film. It's an art film, but it's going to be a male lead. I've read the script, and it's quite interesting, but the pay isn't high.
Shu Ming paused: "I promised him."
The "not much" that Zheng Yiwei mentioned was already a sky-high price for Shu Ming, not to mention that he had never been involved in the film industry before. There was absolutely no reason for him to refuse.
"Secondly, it's this new song that Geng Guanguan mentioned."
"It would be nice to fly to Hong Kong. I haven't been there yet! Whether it succeeds or not, going there will help broaden my horizons—"
What Shu Ming didn't know was that although his words were not certain enough.
But his eyes, tone and expression all told Zhuang Zheng that he was very confident.
"Okay, then after we have two days of rest, we will go to Hong Kong."
Zhuang Zheng naturally supported him unconditionally.
Unexpectedly, Shu Ming shook his head and said, "You need a pass to go to Hong Kong, and I didn't get yours."
"I don't know if I can come back before the New Year. I think I have to leave someone at home to accompany my aunt."
What Shu Ming said next almost scared Zhuang Zheng!
He said firmly:
"I'm going alone."

Different from Province M, which has long been covered with snow.
It never snows in Hong Kong all year round.
The overly dense buildings are pressing down on people, giving people a dizzying sense of the coexistence of prosperity and decline.
Crowds of people are hurrying along on the zebra crossing.
They wear suits and suspender skirts in the same frame, and occasionally some of them wear down jackets, probably just to make the combination look good or add fashion points.
Inside the cafe.
A man in a woolen hat turned around, smiled gently, and asked Geng Guanguan, "Did they say when they'll arrive?"
Geng Guanguan opened his phone and took a look: "...We're here!"
He looked up and waved to the figure that had just come up the stairs.
Geng Guanguan reached out and pulled the man over: "Let me introduce you, Shu Ming."
He pointed at the man in the woolen hat and switched the language back to Mandarin: "Chen Zhiheng."
"And his apprentice."
Chan Kong-sang sat beside his master and saw a man with red lips and white teeth standing in the light, smiling at him. His eyelashes were very long, and the corners of his eyes drooped slightly. Even his blinking seemed carefully choreographed, giving him a temperament that was both innocent and charming.
He is the kind of guy that you can tell at first glance that this "Shu Sheng" mentioned by Geng Guanguan is probably a boy who is very popular with girls.
Perhaps it was because of the excessive sunlight today, he suppressed his slightly rapid heartbeat.
He quickly stood up and said his name in slightly broken Mandarin: "Chen Gangsheng, nice to meet you."
