Chapter 75 "Shu Ming"
I don't know if this paparazzi did it on purpose, or if Shu Ming is just too good-looking, with every angle visible. A bunch of the leaked photos are comparable to atmospheric stills from a drama, especially since it was snowing that day and the university campus is the background, making him look like the hero of a romance novel.
In addition, they were outdoors after all, so Shu Ming was trying his best to control his mood.
The fragility revealed under this kind of forbearance is quite attractive, even the eyelashes are stuck together pitifully.
Just by looking at the photo, one can imagine him lowering his puppy eyes and saying some cute, angry words to the person in front of him.
Oh my god!
My aunt was about to laugh.
I'm afraid even the instigator did not expect that netizens would be so astonishingly tolerant of Shu Ming.
A considerable number of these people went to interview Duan Miaozhu, asking how he could be so cruel to this adorable puppy. They asked for some advice.
The other part is that youth is the time to enjoy love.
Some mothers and career fans also said that although it is not good for the crew to fall in love, after thinking about it, they still can't help but forgive the child. Alas, I wonder if this will spoil him...
Of course there will be complaints and arguments, but the general direction has been firmly established.
Someone asked: Why do you spoil your child like this?
Yes, there is no way, this guy is the only one in the domestic entertainment industry who has no substitutes!
It is the top-notch campus white moonlight level, and the Reuters photos alone are enough to stun a lot of people.
The last recognized campus pure Yuan is now over 30 years old and has gradually turned into a greasy uncle...
Such fresh and natural youthfulness is not something you can just look at!
As long as Shu Ming gives the order, netizens are very willing to support him to become the new "Chun Yuan"!
…
"How is it? Did you get photographed?" Guan Xianyi patted Shu Ming's shoulder with a smile.
Orange was only two minutes late in picking him up, and he was caught red-handed.
Chengzi was still reading the online comments with a deliberately expressionless face, still in that awesome tone, reading out exaggerated compliments like "white moonlight" and "male god" at random, making Shu Ming look like a ripe apple, red from the neck to the earlobes!
Seeing that Shu Ming was so eager to jump out of the car and escape, Guan Xianyi reluctantly let him go and signaled Chengzi to restrain himself.
She didn't delve into the quarrel between the two brothers with Shu Ming, but showed him some information: "I now suspect that the recent public opinion was all caused by the male lead of "Return".
The final male lead of "Return" is named Yi Cheng, who is only three years older than Shu Ming and can be regarded as a contemporary of Shu Ming.
The male protagonists of the two dramas are slightly similar, both have a bit of the campus white moonlight meaning, but the character of "Secret" is more profound.
"Furthermore, I suspect he was the one who muddied the waters in public opinion after the broadcast of 'Love on the Grassland'."
After the broadcast of "Love on the Grassland", there have been voices shouting - "The character setting of Bai Shan is too brilliant, and someone else can also become more famous. Shu Ming is just lucky for a short time."
Guan Xianyi tapped his arm with his fingertips: "Before, he was the one who licked the "Grassland Love" pie the most vigorously!"
Just lick it. It’s okay if everyone doesn’t get to eat it at the beginning since it’s equal.
Who could have imagined that Shu Ming would suddenly appear and snatch the good cake away with ease, making the group of people who jumped the highest before look like jumping clowns - especially Yi Cheng!
Shu Ming nodded and didn't say much. Guan Xianyi noticed that he was a little absent-minded, so he didn't continue.
After returning home in the evening, public opinion continued to ferment.
There is no need to respond, Shu Ming didn't really talk about it. Unless this guy is caught kissing his girlfriend, most fans will not buy it.
If he jumped out to respond at this time, it would not only play into the other party's hands, but also occupy public resources... Guan Xianyi planned to deal with it calmly anyway.
It’s just that the set of photos taken by the paparazzi really went viral. They really looked like the atmosphere of a couple in love. After dinner, even Chen Gangsheng called him and asked him if anything was really going on.
"No way..." Shu Ming had finished taking a hot shower and was curled up in the quilt, protesting softly.
He and Duan Miaozhu were truly innocent. Not to mention being in love, there wasn't even a hint of ambiguity between them!
However, since Chen Gangsheng asked, Shu Ming told the truth and said that he and his brother had some minor conflicts recently.
The contradiction arose during this Spring Festival Gala.
After thinking it over again and again, Shu Ming still hopes to go home for the Spring Festival, but his elder brother hopes that he can focus on his own development.
"Yes, I also want to be on the Spring Festival Gala. Is it me who doesn't want to be? But my aunt is always waiting for us at home, especially during the Chinese New Year! Other families are reunited, but she is all alone..."
When Chen Gangsheng heard him worrying, he almost forgot why he called in the first place!
There were rumors online that Shu Ming was in a relationship. After he saw the paparazzi tabloids, he knew it was most likely fake, but he still felt a sour, gurgling feeling in his heart, and he was eager to hear Shu Ming's voice.
After getting through to Shu Ming on the phone and hearing about his troubles, Chen Gangsheng forgot about his own feelings and was only concerned about worrying about Shu Ming.
Sometimes he felt that Shu Ming was right, and sometimes he agreed with Shu Ming's brother's opinion. He was even more indecisive than Shu Ming himself!
That's really interesting.
Shu Ming was amused by him, and did not expect Chen Gangsheng to really solve his problems.
The two chatted about composing for a long time. The music composed by Shu Ming himself was naturally of great significance. It was just right to release it after the Chinese New Year, on Shu Ming's 20th birthday, which would be the beginning of a new stage... The last call ended with a chat of this and that, but who would have thought that just as they hung up, another one came.
Who else could it be that is calling me at this moment?
Of course it’s Leo Leowen!
**
Ah Cheng watched Liang Ruowen make several calls, each one was busy, and it was not until the sixth call that the line was connected.
A normal person would have been impatient long ago, but Liang Ruowen showed no sign of temper at all and continued to greet the person on the other end of the phone in a soft voice.
Shu Ming’s aggrieved look is too obvious in today’s photo. Can’t Liang Ruowen tell whether it’s true or false?
He looked at these photos over and over again, and his heart was almost broken!
But now that I really called Shu Ming, this guy was being vague. It sounded like he had said everything, but in fact he didn't elaborate on anything.
I swear to God, Shu Mingzhen didn't mean it.
He knew that Leung Yu-man treated him well, but he was different from his peers like Chan Kong-sang, whom he could see through at a glance.
After all, he called people "Teacher Liang". Some things were done out of Shu Ming's instinct for self-preservation, so naturally he did not trust Liang Ruwen as much as he trusted Chen Gangsheng.
Liang Ruowen doesn't care about these.
He chatted with Shu Ming in a gentle voice about some meaningless topics for a while, then tried his best to invite him naturally: "Want to come out and relax? I'll treat you."
It snowed again in the capital at night. It was very cold this year, and the broken snowflakes were very conspicuous under the street lights.
Perhaps it was for some unknown reason that Shu Ming actually wanted to agree to him for a moment.
He buried his face in the soft, fluffy quilt that had been exposed to the sun, and responded vaguely in a half-asleep state, but then quickly woke up and refused.
Why bother making a trip so late at night?
Ah Cheng watched Liang Ruowen get up, put on his clothes, and prepare to reach for the car keys.
He stopped in front of the window again, holding up his cell phone, a hint of subtle disappointment flashed across his face.
But he still managed to hold himself together and slowed down his voice: "Xiao Shu, if there is anything I can help with, please tell me, okay?"
silence.
The only sound on the line was Shu Mingqing's shallow breathing. After a while, he asked, "Teacher Liang, how are you planning to spend the Spring Festival this year?"
This means I am willing to have a long chat with him!
Liang Ruwen was so excited that he didn't even dare to change his posture. He just stood straight in front of the window and started chatting with people...
**
If Leung Yu-Wen tried her best to please people, then she would be very interesting to talk to.
Shu Ming was so excited after chatting with him that he sat up and asked him excitedly, "Really? Don't you want to spend the New Year together?"
When talking about the Spring Festival, Liang Ruowen shared his family environment with him.
Shu Ming is too cautious. If he is not willing to cut himself open first, then there is no need to think about getting close to Shu Ming.
Liang Ruwen was delighted to be understood by Shu Ming.
He slowly told Shu Ming that his parents fell in love freely and got married very early. They were already satisfied with having only his sister, and he was purely an accident.
"My mother was a religious person and thought it was wrong to abort me, so I was born into the family's disdain. My sister always said that I was the most unnecessary one in the family."
Liang Ruwen's tone is witty and humorous, as if she is telling a happy fairy tale.
He said that his parents go out for vacation twice a year, one is usually during the Spring Festival, and the other is random, so they celebrate the Spring Festival separately.
"Because everyone has their own things to do, even if we're not together for the holidays, we won't feel lost because of it." Liang Ruwen smiled. "I really miss you. Wouldn't it be nice to fly over there?"
Shu Ming was dumbfounded. He had never imagined that there were people who lived like this. "You're right..."
Liang Ruowen didn't know which of his words inspired Shu Ming, but in short, the tone of the other party suddenly became much higher.
"Teacher Liang, you're right. Thank you so much for chatting with me for so long."
There was a hint of laughter in Shu Ming's voice: "Next time, I'll treat you to a meal. We'll make an appointment later!"
**
Shu Ming finally chose to turn down CCTV's invitation.
Guan Xianyi asked him, "Don't you regret it?"
Shu Ming booked a flight home on his phone and shook his head: "No regrets."
That day, Liang Ruowen really gave him a lot of inspiration.
Shu Ming sometimes realized that he was being childish. He had clearly had a fight with his brother over something like this before.
You've obviously already calmed yourself down, so why are you still being stubborn at this time?
It rarely snows in K Province in winter, so Shu Ming turned down all the miscellaneous work. Zhuang Zheng couldn't persuade him anyway, so he accompanied his brother back home.
At the end of January, Zhuang Yan was working in the yard as usual. It was like this all year round. As long as you are diligent, there will always be work to do.
But she was still holding the broom when a head suddenly popped up at the gate of the yard.
The two children she had been worried about, who had been away from home for a long time, were standing at the door with their luggage. One of them opened his arms to her and said, "Auntie, we're back!"
The broom in her hand fell to the ground with a bang.
**
The children must be happy to come back for the New Year.
But Zhuang Yan always felt that something was wrong with Shu Ming's return this time.
Shu Ming is usually very attached to her, but this time something is particularly wrong!
And he often hesitates to speak, plus considering how busy Shu Ming is... theoretically speaking, he shouldn't come back so early!
She pulled Zhuang Zheng over by his ears and interrogated him several times, but Zhuang Zheng refused to say anything.
What are these two children hiding from her?
She was a quick-tempered person and couldn't stand such soft-knife provocation, so she simply brought Shu Ming in front of her and asked him directly.
Seeing that he couldn't delay any longer, Shu Ming put his arms around Zhuang Yan's neck and said, "Aunt, I want to discuss something with you."
Zhuang Yan pushed the boy away with a slap in the face, saying, "If you have something to say, just say it!"
In fact, Shu Ming had been planning this matter a long time ago. The reason why he did not leave Province K immediately after filming the cycling vlog was not only because he missed his aunt and wanted to spend a few more days with her, but also because he did another thing - he went to meet the director of the Wenhe Culture and Tourism Bureau.
Zhuang Yan had two remarkable skills. First, she sang beautifully when she was young, though she sang less as she got older. Second, she sewed beautifully!
He had discussed this matter with the director at the time - the Ning people's unique and beautiful embroidery could actually be considered as part of the publicity.
Most importantly, he wanted to find something for his aunt to do.
Especially since Liang Ruowen reminded him that day, it is not right to tie people too tightly together.
No one can survive without another person. If this happens, something is wrong.
He hoped that his aunt would have things she liked to do and things she enjoyed doing besides having children, instead of sitting in the yard waiting for them every day.
Shu Ming has been overwhelmed by such scenes countless times.
Especially when he was sick in October this year, he called out "Mom" many times... He dreamed of his home yard many times.
However, he was not sure whether Zhuang Yan was willing to do it, so he did not agree to it immediately with Wenhe City. Instead, he wanted to come back and slowly find out what Zhuang Yan had to say.
Just because he thinks something is good doesn’t mean it’s suitable for Zhuang Yan. It still depends on his aunt’s own wishes.
Shu Ming's mind was full of thoughts, but he didn't show it on his face. He just slowly told his aunt about his plan: "...You can embroider it yourself, or you can reorganize the patterns you drew before and sell them -"
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhuang Yan.
"What's wrong? Did you get wronged outside?"
Shu Ming was confused.
ah?
He couldn't see the mirror, so of course he didn't know that his nose had turned completely red and he was making a lot of small movements.
He has been like this since he was a child!
Whenever he tells a lie, he has the habit of secretly pinching the base of his other hand with his thumb.
Zhuang Yan has been taking care of this kid since he was four years old, and they were hardly apart for a single day before he was seventeen. Doesn’t she know him well enough?
She reached out her rough hands and smoothed Shu Ming's hair. Auntie Ming didn't say anything, but Shu Ming couldn't hold back his tears. It took him a long time to manage an expression that wasn't quite crying, nor laughing. He tried to keep his tone light and said, "No—"
"You still say no!"
Zhuang Yan was furious and slapped him on the back. "You little bastard, I know what fart you're going to fart when you stick your butt out. Why are you still saying you don't have any?"
Shu Ming was about to speak when tears completely blurred his vision. He wiped his cheek with the back of his hand awkwardly, his mouth completely flattened.
It’s exactly the same as the way he cried when he was a child!
Zhuang Yan stroked his spine like she did when he was a child. The bedside lamp was a warm yellow, not very bright.
After a long silence, Zhuang Yan heard Shu Ming mumbling an apology to her.
The boy said to her with guilt and uneasiness, "Aunt, I'm sorry."
**
Shu Ming has always been very clear that he is actually a very selfish person.
Because of his selfishness, he still held his aunt's legs tightly even when he knew that life at home was very difficult and his aunt could no longer support herself.
Out of selfishness, he did not hesitate to bring up the flood disaster in Province K in the program in order to protect himself and to take advantage of the popularity of his hometown.
It was also because of selfishness that I left my aunt alone in her hometown and have been stubborn and slow in solving this problem.
Shu Ming knew that it was because he had been avoiding this fact intentionally or unintentionally that it had been delayed until now.
Zhuang Zheng had been standing at the door silently for some time, without saying a word.
Zhuang Yan always knew that Shu Ming was emotionally sensitive among boys.
But if you show this in the countryside, you will be bullied.
Shu Ming himself realized this, so he always acted heartless and careless.
Zhuang Yan always thought that everything would be fine once he grew up, but this child is already nineteen, almost twenty years old, and still remembers so many things.
Zhuang Yan asked Shu Ming, tell me, how did you do something wrong to her?
This guy can actually count with her one by one by counting on his fingers——
He started from childhood, saying that he knew his family was struggling to make ends meet, but he still wanted to stay. He said he knew his aunt went to the hospital to earn money for another child's tuition. He also said he knew his eldest brother left home to save money for him to go to college abroad.
Shu Ming sniffed, his face was completely wet with tears, and he didn't have the aura of being the boss he seemed to be outside.
Instead, he looked very much like the child who clung to Zhuang Yan and refused to let go more than ten years ago.
Shu Ming said that he knew he had been a burden to his aunt for many years.
Because of guilt, he almost never took money with him when he went out. Instead, he worked hard outside and sent money home.
This guilt has weighed on Shu Ming's heart for many years. If it weren't for him, would the family have been much better off a long time ago?
In the past, Shu Ming would not have told this, because his aunt would definitely pull his ears and say, "You've been eating too much lately, why are you thinking so much? Go to bed!"
Zhuang Yan was like that. Shu Ming knew that she was worried about him, but she would never say it.
But no matter what, he felt much better now that he had said it.
Perhaps in this way, he really selfishly transferred his guilt to his aunt, but Shu Ming felt as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart.
He rubbed his eyes and didn't intend to wait for Zhuang Yan's reply. He was already ready to get up and say goodbye to her.
Zhuang Yan was thinking that Shu Ming didn't call her "Aunt" at the beginning.
Later, after being raised by her for a while, the child became so attached to her that he always tried to compete with Zhuang Zheng for the name of the child and kept calling her "Mom".
But outsiders were watching! This was inappropriate. After all, she was not Shu Ming's biological mother, so she forced the child to change the name, reluctantly changing from "Aunt" to "Auntie".
The next time I heard him call for his mother was before Shu Ming went to school.
Zhuang Yan was dazed and realized that fifteen years had passed in a flash.
In the past fifteen years, she had never said anything from her heart to Shu Ming. The most she urged him to do was to study hard, make a name for himself, and work in a big city in the future...
She wanted to say that her aunt had never regretted raising you, and that every child had to leave home when they grew up, and it was not your fault.
Zhuang Yan hugged tightly in her arms the child who was restless fifteen years ago and ultimately did not get to be held in her arms; the child who called out "Mom" two years ago but did not get a response from her.
Thousands of words come together into one sentence,
She said, "Shu Ming, Mommy loves you."
**
Nineteen-year-old Shu Ming has two small wishes.
Firstly, he wanted to continue acting with respect and stay on the stage he loved.
To do this, he had to climb higher and higher.
Secondly, he wants his family to live a good life.
And this dream was barely achieved in the winter when he was nineteen years old.
Zhuang Yan always used to wait for them in the yard. In fact, it was because Shu Ming was afraid that her back injury would get worse, so he didn't let her go out, and she had nothing to do.
Once people are busy, they will feel more energetic.
Led by the government team and helped by local secretaries and cadres, this group of people became more and more prosperous. Zhuang Yan was so busy that she didn't even want to go home!
It is said that career, power and money are the best skin care products.
Now that Zhuang Yan has her own successful career and more money in her hands, she no longer has to rely on her children to give her money. So she walks with a spring in her step and looks several years younger.
Moreover, there is a tendency to "forget the cubs".
Specifically, when Shu Ming called her to go back for dinner, she would just wave her hand and tell Shu Ming to stay away and not bother her because she was busy.
Shu Ming complained a lot, but at the same time he was happy for her.
In addition, the camera that he had teased Zhuang Zheng about before and said he would reimburse him for finally arrived.
It can barely be considered a qualified New Year's gift.
Shu Ming has now confirmed his family's 100% love and support, so he can finally let go of the burden and calmly continue to stride forward.
**
The following spring.
Shu Ming released his second album "Bright"
At the same time, he released his first album title song of the same name, "Shu Ming", which he composed himself.
At the end of March, he appeared at the Hong Kong Coliseum with Leo Leo to sing new songs.
After not seeing him for just a few months, Shu Ming has become more relaxed, confident and charming.
Just standing on the stage and gently holding the microphone, it seemed as if he was glowing.
The gazes of millions of people only serve to highlight his star-like brilliance tonight.
Everyone was attracted by him and listened to him singing quietly and leisurely.
This song was sung by Chan Kong-sang with his heart and soul, with every word crafted.
*
"That person said your name is too ordinary.
But it is hard to match you passing by today.
Sparks flew in an instant."
"From a small person, he grew into a big man in the blink of an eye."
How much are you sacrificing to sell off?"
“But tomorrow we will all go our separate ways.
And you stride on, never stopping."
