Chapter 43
The fingers seemed to be in pain, but they also seemed to have no feeling at all. Xu Su's senses at this moment were very complicated. She really wanted to find a place where there was no one and hide herself in it. At least she would have some space to breathe. This environment was too suffocating.
The next second, the fingers burned by the cigarette butt were wrapped by the warm little hands.
"Why do you have to say sorry? You did nothing wrong." Xiao Fusheng felt distressed, but she was out for fun and had nothing to treat the wound with. She could only hastily take out an emergency Band-Aid and put it on, blowing on it. "It doesn't hurt. Fusheng will apply medicine for you later."
Then he stood firmly in front of Xu Su.
She heard it. It was her mother's voice. Aunt Xu Su was one of the mothers. She had been refusing to speak just now. Was she afraid of being heard?
But Xiao Fusheng doesn't care about this now, she still wants to drive this person away.
Those people were separated by the bodyguards, which gave the people in the middle some breathing space, but the original man didn't think he had said anything wrong. He really liked Xu Su.
Xiao Fusheng saw that he had a cigarette stuck between his ears, which he hadn't lit yet: "Uncle, don't you smoke too?"
"Of course my smoking is different from hers."
"Why is it different?" Xiao Fusheng asked. "This is a smoking room, so it's okay to go in and smoke."
"You are a pretty kid, but your eyesight is not good? Have you also been led astray by Xu Su?"
"I may be a child, but Aunt Xu Su taught me well," Xiao Fusheng said seriously. "She taught me to always be hardworking and kind, but she never taught me to be unreasonable or to act according to the circumstances."
The man felt as if he was being scolded by a child: "Who are you calling unreasonable?!"
"Say uncle is being unreasonable!" Little Fusheng said without a scare. "You can like it or not, but you can't impose your own ideas on others and blame others for your own frustrations."
"Uncle likes Aunt Xu Su and buys the products she endorses. You don't know how to do your best. Your own bankruptcy is due to your own failure to manage the business. What does it have to do with Aunt Xu?"
"My aunt's previous excellence was the result of her hard work. Although the films she made later were not satisfactory, it does not mean that she did not work hard, nor does it mean that my aunt's behavior was wrong. It was my uncle who made up the story and put it together to accuse my aunt of a crime. This is also my uncle's fault."
"Who taught you to say that?" The man was stepped on by a foot. "Is it Xu Su? I told you she would lead children astray!"
Xiao Fusheng frowned: "I am a child who was raised by kind people. These are my own perceptions and have nothing to do with others. Uncle, you are starting to make up stories about others again."
These people are all like this, they all like to say that others are worthless without any evidence.
"Now you have to apologize to Aunt Xu Su."
"Why should I apologize?"
"Because uncle spread rumors." Xiao Fusheng pointed at the people nearby who had secretly taken out their phones to take pictures or live-stream the farce. "A lot of people have seen it now. If uncle doesn't apologize and the rumors spread, I can hire a lawyer to sue you."
"You..." The man was so angry that he was about to say something when he was stopped by someone next to him who quickly put away his phone.
The man whispered, "Don't force yourself on her. Look, all those bodyguards are hers, and the woman standing behind them is the president of Sheng Corporation. How can you possibly stand up to her? Besides, she's not like ordinary kids. She's very smart. If she says she'll sue you, she'll definitely know what crime you've broken. You'll never win a case against her."
Although there are doubts about the second half of the sentence, no one in North City does not know about the Sheng Group.
The man's arrogance immediately subsided, and he lowered his head reluctantly: "I'm sorry."
Xiao Fusheng: "Sorry for what?"
Seeing several bodyguards surrounding him, the man broke out in a cold sweat: "I was just talking nonsense before. I'm sorry Xu Su."
The security guards of the amusement park came over and politely asked the man to leave.
The onlookers were also dismissed, and suddenly only a group of parties were left at the scene.
However, this farce was still posted online by those who first filmed it. With the man's final apology, it was not considered as spreading rumors.
Xu Su's appearance makes people feel a little distressed. That's why they say that fame nourishes people, and when it fades, they become just like everyone else.
[But what's the difference between that man and a stalker? He's blaming Xu Su for losing everything he has?]
[Maybe he felt that Xu Su was his support in the past, and now that Xu Su is no longer popular, he must be feeling unbalanced.]
[Fusheng is right, some people are obsessed with idol-chasing.]
[This is so funny! Now you guys know how to talk to Xu Su. What were you doing in the past?]
My little one is so handsome. He's so cool when he defends others. He's a carbon copy of Sheng Ning.
[I'm only concerned about the fact that Xu Su is now linked to Xiao Fusheng. Based on my personal experience, Xu Su might become popular again. Have you seen those people in the past become popular?]
After being reminded of this, netizens immediately reacted.
Yes, no matter whether it was Kan Qi or Luo Yao, they met Xiao Fusheng when they were at their lowest point, and then people who couldn’t see them before began to see the brilliance in them, and now the careers of both of them are thriving.
Even Xu Su has been discovered by Xiao Fusheng.
Soon, the entries about #浮生, the god who controls the unknown# climbed up little by little. Netizens counted the recent changes in these people and found that their whole mental state changed after they came into contact with Xiao 浮生.
[It was as if the protagonist's halo that had been taken away suddenly returned.]
You know Kan Qi's previous works, any one of them is textbook-level, but then he inexplicably took on a terrible drama. If it were someone else, they might have been ridiculed for the role, but Kan Qi is different. The role is directly elevated to himself. To this day, the comments on his movie are so disgusting that it would make me depressed.
[Isn't it the same with Luo Yao? The songs he wrote were all very strong and full of spirit, but suddenly they just didn't work anymore.]
【Then what about Xu Su? 】
I have to say, Xiao Fusheng was right about something. Although their career achievements have declined, their character has probably not been seriously flawed.
[Then we'll just have to wait and see if Xu Su really becomes popular again. Didn't the actor just recently announce that she will be participating as a trainee? ]
[It's really sad. Who would have thought that the former best actress would now be a trainee?]
Qiao Ge, who was also watching the online frenzy, was gritting his teeth at this moment. He paced back and forth in his house, anxious and worried: "They even encountered this?"
"Just a little bit." The system said, "If Xiao Fusheng hadn't appeared, Xu Su would have committed suicide by the end of the day."
Sometimes things happen so coincidentally that they don't seem to be coincidences.
At this point, Qiao Ge had to believe it: "I'm going to be on the same show with her soon, so what should I do?"
He originally thought that the show would end with Xu Su's death.
According to the system, Xu Su should have committed suicide long ago due to the psychological pressure, but due to Tian Zijin's downfall, perhaps her luck also declined a little, so she cheered up and tried to take on the job.
After hearing this news, Qiao Ge couldn't sit still.
It doesn’t matter if there is nothing we can do about those people who have already stood up. Xu Su has nothing to do with Fu Sheng now. It will be even more difficult if she stands up again.
So while Fusheng and Xu Su didn't know each other yet, they hired someone to monitor Xu Su's actions.
Knowing that Xu Su was going to the amusement park today, he specially arranged for someone to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. It was just a few words. Who made her have such a poor tolerance? It wasn't a crime, so no one would be held responsible.
Unexpectedly, it was another floating life.
Qiao Ge was watching the whole process. Even though it was the final touch, he saw Xu Su's defense was about to break! He could even feel the energy from Xu Su being sucked into him bit by bit.
But at the last moment, they were all sucked back.
The system can pull Qiao Gra out of ordinary people, but it has no way to deal with Fu Sheng. She is like an iron wall and nothing can be detected from her, not to mention that in the eyes of the system, she has no luck at all.
"Her participation in the program was a long-planned decision and has nothing to do with Fusheng. You must avoid a direct encounter with Fusheng," the system said. "First, get Xu Su off the show. Logically, she wouldn't be able to withstand another blow."
There is no other way around this, it can only be like this for the time being.
On the other side, after the crowd dispersed, everyone returned to the private room again. This time the room was much quieter than before.
Xiao Fusheng didn't eat anymore. He still sat far away, his eyes gently on Aunt Xu Su.
She heard her aunt say sorry to her, so her aunt must know who she is, but just can't recognize her.
Xiao Fusheng is very sensible. Since he doesn't recognize her, she won't bother him.
In the end, it was Father Xu who spoke first: "Thank you so much for today."
As an adult, it was actually his responsibility to speak in such situations, but he was more concerned about his daughter's situation at the time, and Xiao Fusheng spoke in an orderly manner. Since the other adults did not interrupt, he did not interrupt either.
I didn't expect that the man was actually scared by a child.
"Fusheng, grandpa thanks you on behalf of auntie."
"You are welcome."
Just then, the bodyguard went to buy medicine for the wound. Little Fusheng jumped off the chair, took the bag, and walked to Aunt Xu Su: "Auntie, Fusheng will treat your wound for you."
The burn was quite severe.
"Right, right, right." Father Xu also said, "Little Fusheng knows a lot, she can do this."
Treating the wound is not a big deal. Xu Su lowered her eyes and looked at the child for a long time to see his reaction. Did he not recognize who she was?
It’s okay if I can’t recognize it.
She held out her hand.
The warm little hand came up to her. Xiao Fusheng peeled off the makeshift bandage bit by bit and cleaned the wound. He said, "Smoking is bad for your health. Auntie, you should smoke less in the future. If you're stressed, you can find other things to do."
She didn't even look up, just kept talking to herself: "Those people's words are just for their own happiness, so don't take it to heart. Fusheng knows that I am a very hardworking and excellent person. As long as you stick to it, you will be fine."
She will help her aunt get rid of that bad system.
After hearing this, Xu Su also realized that something was wrong. The child knew it.
But she still called me Auntie, perhaps she noticed my resistance. She was so smart, there was no way she didn't understand.
[Zizi is worried about her mother. Zizi will protect her.]
Xiao Fusheng's movements were very quick. Before Xu Su could recover from the system's voices, she had already withdrawn her hand and raised her little face: "Okay, be careful not to touch the water."
He took out his guide book and said, "I heard there's a fireworks show tonight. Let's go watch it together~"
Anyway, I have finished my meal. I just went through such an unhappy thing, so it would be nice to relax.
So everyone came to the outside again. This time, bodyguards were openly protecting them. Plus, passers-by knew what had happened before and would not go forward to cause trouble, so the fireworks show was very enjoyable to watch.
The moment the fireworks lit up in the dark sky, Xiao Fusheng's heart was also filled with joy.
She now knows that she is not from this world after all. Every father and mother actually has their own life, and not everyone can accept her.
She already has a lot now, and if other parents don’t need her, she won’t bother them.
Now so many people know Fu Sheng, perhaps her parents in some corner also know that she will wait, and if they are willing, she will still bring them to her side.
If they don't want to, then she sincerely wishes every father and mother to live a happy life.
The fireworks in this world are not as beautiful as those in the castle, but she likes them more because there are people around her and it is very lively.
No matter how beautiful the things she has seen are, they will become extremely disgusting when she is alone.
But now it’s different, she is very happy because she has a father and a mother and can protect them!
"You can make a wish while watching the fireworks." Xiao Fusheng stood at the front and turned to say to everyone, "We should all make a wish! It will definitely come true."
These were all children's toys, so adults certainly wouldn't take them too seriously. But perhaps the children's eyes were too yearning, or perhaps everyone had their own wishes in their hearts, so they couldn't help but silently make their own wishes in their hearts.
"Brother Xiaoshu." Xiao Fusheng helped his brother beside him to close his hands, "You are like Fusheng."
Xi Shu clasped his hands together and said, "Should you tell me your wish?"
"It won't work if I tell you about it."
"If I don't tell it, how will the person who can help me fulfill my wish know?"
Xiao Fusheng didn't understand: "Huh?"
"I mean..." Xi Shu turned his head, still making a wish, but his eyes were fixed on Xiao Fusheng, "I hope that next time, it will really be just the two of us playing together."
There are no messy things and no irrelevant people.
"Ah..." Xiao Fusheng felt a little sorry, "Brother, today I..."
"It's not your fault," Xi Shu said. "I could have predicted it."
He expected that both of them were children, so the time that belonged to the two of them had not yet come. When he grew up and was strong enough, he would be able to bring the children with him without having to seek anyone's consent.
At that time, people would listen to what he said, and he would have his own say on many things instead of just watching from the sidelines.
As long as she is willing.
Xi Shu asked, "Did you hear my wish?"
Xiao Fusheng: “Yeah!”
She will definitely find another time to go out and play with Brother Xiaoshu!
Xi Shu put down his hand: "Okay, then I'm done."
How can Brother Xiaoshu be so casual!
Little Fusheng couldn't count on others, but she could count on herself. She clasped her hands together and closed her eyes: "I hope my parents, uncles, aunts, grandpa, and brother can be happy every day. The rest of Fusheng will help them realize it!"
She is very confident.
Sheng Dong, who wasn't an insider, was amused by what he heard: "You're thinking about quite a lot of people."
"Of course." Little Fusheng said proudly, "There are many people around Fusheng."
Then she realized another problem. She couldn't recognize Xu Su's mother now. What if the god who granted wishes didn't know this mother?
"And Aunt Xu Su and Grandpa Xu!" Little Fusheng quickly closed his hands and said, "They also want to be healthy and happy."
After half an hour, the grand and brilliant fireworks were reduced to white smoke filling the sky, rising up little by little, as if carrying everyone's wishes with them.
"It's getting late, and the kids must be tired from playing." Sheng Dong turned to Mr. Xu and said, "Let's take them back first."
He handed over a business card and said, "If you need me for anything, you can contact me."
He admires people like Mr. Xu, who are responsible and care about their children.
To a large extent, I also saw in him virtues that I did not possess in the past.
Father Xu took the business card. He naturally knew that he was not from the same world as these people. No matter what happened, he could not trouble them. But if it was really necessary, this might become the last straw for him and his daughter.
"Little guy." Sheng Dong stretched out his hand, "Go home with grandpa."
"OK."
Xiao Fusheng did not go back immediately, but walked up to Aunt Xu Su and said, "Aunt, you have to believe that things will get better little by little. Come on."
She took her aunt's hand and touched it gently, then quickly let go and ran to hold her grandfather's hand and say goodbye.
Xu Su wanted to raise her hand for a moment, but finally let it hang at her side.
After everyone turned around, Sheng Ning walked up to Xu Su and said, "Give me your contact information. I will contact you when I get home."
Xu Su was a little surprised: "Contact what?"
"About the kids."
"I……"
"I roughly understand what you're thinking." Sheng Ning said calmly, "But the facts are the facts, and I won't deny them."
Xu Su was really surprised. With a family like Sheng Ning's, since she had decided to live a happy life, she naturally didn't want anyone to snatch it from her, and of course no one could snatch it from her.
But she took the initiative to talk about the children. What did she want to do?
"I don't mean anything else." Xu Su said.
"So many people already have it, why would I care about having one more?" Sheng Ning curved his lip. "I advise you not to make any decision now. Let's talk about it tonight."
After saying that, she left decisively.
It's not that he is so generous as to take the initiative to find a mother for the child, but Sheng Ning knows clearly how much these people care about the child. If they didn't care, they wouldn't stand in front of the haunted house for so long, nor would they endure for so long without saying a word.
If the child cannot be recognized for other reasons, that would be ridiculous.
On the way home, Father Xu still didn't understand why the Sheng family, young and old, were so enthusiastic.
"Xiao Su, do you know Mr. Sheng? What decision are you going to make? Is it about work?"
Xu Su was also unsure. She was still holding the bouquet of flowers that Xiao Fusheng had given her. She said absentmindedly, "Maybe."
"It's pretty." Father Xu thought of Sheng Dong holding the child's hand and leaving, and the child calling him "Grandpa", and said enviously, "I wish I had a granddaughter like Xiao Fusheng."
Smart, beautiful, well-behaved and likable.
Xu Su nodded softly, she wanted it too.
Before going to bed, Xiao Fusheng started his night chat with his mother again.
"Mom, Fusheng doesn't want to lie to you." She lowered her head and said, "But Fusheng can recognize that Aunt Xu Su is also Mom."
Sheng Ning felt a little warm in his heart: "I know."
She was very touched by the child's honesty. If the child knew everything but didn't tell her, she would have all kinds of thoughts.
"Are you disappointed?" she asked, "at her snub to you today."
Xiao Fusheng shook his head: "No."
He added: "Auntie didn't ignore me. She must like Fu Sheng very much."
She was not stupid. She could feel that Aunt Xu Su held her hand very tightly, always liked to stare at her, and would apologize to her.
"So do you want her to recognize you?"
Xiao Fusheng nodded and shook his head: "I can do anything."
"Why?"
"As long as mom and dad are happy, that's all that matters." Little Fusheng said seriously, "Then I'll be happy too. If you feel a lot of pressure to adopt Fusheng, then don't adopt him. Fusheng will always love mom and dad anyway."
"Mom, Aunt Xu Su really works hard." She told Sheng Ning's mother about the Aunt Xu Su in her memory, "She must be because of that bad system."
"Yeah." Sheng Ning stroked her little head, "I'll deal with it with you, go to sleep."
After coaxing the child to sleep, Sheng Ning walked out of the room and called Xu Su.
They must have been waiting on the other end, so the call went through as soon as I dialed.
Xu Su asked: "What do you want to tell me about the child?"
"She knows about your relationship with her." Sheng Ning said simply and directly.
After several seconds, Xu Su finally hummed, "I feel relieved that she is with you."
"You want to recognize her." Sheng Ning hit the nail on the head.
But Xu Su quickly denied it: "I don't want to."
"You know what? My child told me before going to bed that in her impression, Aunt Xu Su is a very strong, brave and hardworking person."
Xu Su on the other end of the phone widened her eyes slightly, but couldn't say a word.
"Why did you become like this?"
Xu Su's head ached, and it took her a long time to find her voice: "I don't know."
"I know." Sheng Ning said, "That's what I want you to tell me. If I'm not mistaken, you should also hear different sounds after seeing the child."
That system?
It was natural for two adults to communicate without reservation. Xu Su also understood this, so she took the initiative to reveal the secret bargaining chip: "System?"
"Yeah." Sheng Ning's voice became even colder. "You have it, we have it, and of course other people have it too."
"I don't quite understand what you mean."
What does this have to do with her condition?
Sheng Ning asked again: "Have you ever worked with Tian Zijin?"
"Yes." Xu Su was very impressed. "We worked together on a TV series."
After that her career went downhill.
"Kan Qi has had this happen too. Not only Kan Qi, but also Luo Yao." Sheng Ning said slowly, "Apart from the fact that Tian Zijin plagiarized Luo Yao, after working with him, Kan Qi's script selection ability has changed, and his audience appeal has become particularly poor. Luo Yao can no longer write songs, and you... should also be aware of the changes in yourself."
He then said, "When I first returned to China, I once encountered Tian Zijin who deliberately bribed my driver to wait for me on the roadside. Why do you think that was?"
Xu Su's heartbeat suddenly became faster, and she couldn't help but stand up: "What does this mean? Can he influence us?"
"The child said she heard a system voice in Tian Zijin's head." Sheng Ning said coldly, "That voice claimed to be the Luck System, which can absorb the Luck of many people and use it to make that person successful."
Luck...
Thinking about how the harder she worked, the more unfortunate she became over the years, Xu Su felt a chill down her spine, and realized something was wrong: "But, there's no news about Tian Zijin anymore."
"Of course." Sheng Ning said, "Because since the child appeared, the people whose luck he had absorbed have improved. With that person's brain, he can't do anything at all, so it's normal for him to be abandoned by the system."
Xu Su suddenly recalled that some time before this, she had indeed felt much better after drinking the medicine her father prescribed for children.
Not only that, she even tried to find a job to improve her current situation and was willing to go out with her father.
But today it was almost... just almost.
When that person pointed at her spine and accused her, she really couldn't hold on any longer and wanted her life to end right there and then. It wasn't until the moment the child appeared that she seemed to have found a chance to breathe and was pulled out of the abyss.
"If it's not Tian Zijin." Xu Su found the key point, "Then that person is..."
"Qiao Ge," Sheng Ning said, "the new host of the system."
Jorg?!
Next up is the mentor who will be on the same show with me.
Xu Su instantly got goosebumps all over her body. If this was true, then she was almost doomed again.
After hearing the gradually heavier breathing on the other end of the phone, Sheng Ning said, "As a mother, even if it's not my biological child, I hope that I am the only relative of the child. But as someone who has been through the same thing as you, I hope you can understand this. The child cares about you, but she doesn't care whether you can really recognize her or not. For her, as long as you live a good life, it's all that matters. But for you, it's your right to make a choice after knowing the whole story."
Xu Su asked: "Now that you've told me, aren't you worried that I'll snatch her away?"
"I've asked other people this question before, and I had this thought before you." Sheng Ning smiled, "You'll know when you meet her."
Will we see each other again in the future?
Xu Su suddenly realized the importance of this matter: "You mean, as long as the child is by my side, I won't be influenced by those people, right?"
"For now, it should be." Sheng Ning said, "At least the child can hear what they are discussing."
Xu Su felt very uncomfortable.
I had clearly decided not to let the child get in touch with me anymore, but now I want the child to be tied to me.
As if knowing what she was thinking, Sheng Ning said slowly, "If you don't tell her, the child will come to you. Before that, even before she knew whether you were related to her, she had already decided to help you."
"Xu Su," she said, "we don't have a child who is brave and fearless yet."
-
Before Xu Su could think it through, the variety show "Actors" that she was originally participating in had set its sights on Xiao Fusheng. All of this originated from the story in the haunted house.
There were actually people who were willing to patiently watch the four-hour video. Not only did they finish watching it, but they were also amazed at the completeness and excitement of the whole story. Then, word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and the haunted house video became popular again.
[Four hours, no fast forwarding, who knows how many times I've watched it! ]
[I watched the whole thing with no boring moments. If it weren't for the overly complex background environment, I would have thought I was watching a movie.]
[Is this the complete storyline of this haunted house? I've played it before, and it's not like this!]
[Manager: Thank you for the invitation. This is the first time I know this story is complete.]
[Trivia: This haunted house is often staffed by film school students. The ones making up stories with Xiao Fusheng happen to be them. They're all professionals.]
Is there any boss who would buy the copyright to make a movie about this five-year-old detective? I really want to buy it.
The "Actors" program team will select many scripts, which may be remakes or original works, and let the actors participating in the program perform freely in the program. Although the scripts have been collected almost, more is not too much, and less is not too little.
Moreover, this four-hour video is like writing the script down for you exactly as it is. With such a strong story and so much buzz, it is bound to be a hit.
It’s just that this is a script jointly created by many students and Xiao Fusheng. In addition to buying the copyright of the haunted house story, they also have to buy the original copyright from these people.
After receiving the invitation from the program team, Xiao Fusheng agreed without thinking.
She needs the money and this opportunity.
So she took the initiative to ask, "So you guys should also need a child actor? Is Fu Sheng okay?"
The production crew thought she was joking: "Baby, you are too young. You can't do this for now."
"Fusheng can do it! Fusheng can act too." Afraid that the director team wouldn't believe him, little Fusheng also sent over the part of the movie he and his dad had filmed together in the crew.
The movie is still in production and has not been released yet. This is what the director team left for her as a souvenir.
Xiao Fusheng, who took the initiative to fight for job opportunities for herself, was very familiar with the audition process. Her father used to audition in this way, and she even showed her father the audition clip.
The production crew was extremely shocked after seeing the unedited original film.
Is this a fleeting life? Her acting skills can actually take on the role of a veteran actor like Kan Qi?!
Although she is only five years old, her acting style and eye expressions are so exquisite that it is amazing.
What are you waiting for? We have a story, actors and popularity, so invite us up now!
So before the recording of "Actors" started, the program team once again released a promotion for the new guest, and also mysteriously created a mystery guest - she is someone you would never have thought of, come and witness the birth of a miracle!
With the previous experience of the outdoor life program team, it would not seem so mysterious if they put a child's silhouette on the show, and netizens can guess it right at once now.
So the production team didn't post anything and just waited for everyone's expressions to change on the day the show started recording.
Xu Su also went to the Sheng family in person, not to recognize Fu Sheng, but to spend more time with her.
Ever since she retreated and felt that she was unable to take good care of a child, and she realized how important little Fusheng was to her life, she had no way of getting Fusheng to call her mother.
She doesn't deserve it.
But she still didn't want to accept her fate and didn't want her life to be ruined by a so-called system. Even if she really had to lose, she had to lose with dignity.
So she still needs Xiao Fusheng's help.
"Don't worry, Auntie." Little Fusheng said excitedly, "Fusheng will go to the show with you. I've been invited to that show too."
Xu Su also took part in some of the acting classes on Fu Sheng, so she certainly knew how talented this kid was.
Apart from the first time, during the time when the program was being filmed, wouldn't she be able to be with Xiao Fusheng all the time?
"I will..." Before Xu Su could finish her words, the child grabbed her hand and said, "Fusheng will take good care of Auntie."
“…”
It is indeed Tiangang.
-
On the day when the recording of "Actors" started, the scene was comparable to a talent show.
Many people are either outsiders who want to enter the entertainment industry and come here to learn experience, or those who have never been popular come here to look for opportunities, or people like Xu Su who were once popular but no longer have opportunities, giving themselves a chance to survive in desperate situations.
So there are both ordinary people and celebrities.
The contestants and mentors who came to participate in the competition would not be in the same lounge, let alone the same dressing room, and Qiao Ge had no idea who would come.
Xiao Fusheng and Xu Su were the last to arrive. This was the arrangement of the program team. After all, as a mysterious contestant, Xiao Fusheng could not be known by others from the beginning.
After putting on makeup, the two of them stayed in the same lounge.
While waiting for others to introduce themselves and perform, they all watched what was happening outside through the TV in the lounge until the camera panned to Qiao Ge sitting in the mentor's seat.
Xu Su subconsciously clenched her fists.
She already knew what happened in the survival show. Even though Qiao Ge had such a dirty and vicious mind, with the help of that system, he was still able to sit here safely, and the contestants on the stage would call him mentor.
Xiao Fusheng noticed Aunt Xu Su's emotions and hugged her arms: "Auntie, don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid." Xu Su took a deep breath and gently hugged the child.
Besides being angry, she was actually a little unsure.
She hadn't performed in several years. She felt drowsy and had doubted herself thousands of times. She didn't know if she could perform well on stage.
"Fusheng." She said softly, "Can you give Auntie some encouragement?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she was hugged by the child.
The child's arms were too short to hold her fully, so the tiny one threw himself into her arms, gently patting her waist with his palm: "Fusheng has always known that Auntie is a very powerful person. As long as you do your best, everything will be fine."
This is what her aunt has told her many times.
In the past, she was also questioned by many people. Even though she had achieved success and won many awards, there were still many people who said that her awards were fake.
But at that time she would not be angry about these things at all.
When Xiao Fusheng felt unfair for her, she would gently comfort him: "If I have tried my best and done what I should do, then I have a clear conscience, and what others say will not affect me. You should do the same in the future."
So when she was at the playground, Xiao Fusheng could confidently say that she was raised by a group of very good parents. Her parents were very kind, so she also wanted to be a kind person. She was very, very lucky.
After hearing Xiao Fusheng's words, Xu Su was stunned for a moment.
Yes, she used to be so confident, but how come she forgot all these things and principles later? She seemed to be trapped in a fog and couldn't get out.
When Xu Su saw Qiao Ge on the stage again, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
If she had continued along the original trajectory, without that so-called system, perhaps the person sitting in that position right now would be her.
When she meets Xiao Fusheng, she will walk over without hesitation, hug her and say, "I am your mother too."
Instead of being as timid as a mouse and hesitant to do anything like we are now.
"Thank you." Xu Su said softly, "I think I have found the courage."
Soon, the staff came to say it was her turn.
Xu Su straightened her clothes, breathed a sigh of relief, and touched the child's face: "I will do my best."
"Come on, Auntie!"
Xu Su paused slightly and nodded.
Walking back under the spotlight, she squinted her eyes subconsciously because of the glare of the light. When her vision became clear again, she saw that the seats below were full, and she also saw several mentors sitting in the high seats in front of the stage. The one next to them was Qiao Ge.
Their eyes met, and the latter smiled slightly, as if showing his most basic kindness.
But Xu Su calmly looked away.
Seeing this scene, Qiao Ge was slightly stunned and a little confused: "I think she is not in a good state."
System: "Maybe it's because I was exposed to Fu Sheng a few days ago. Don't worry, this program takes a long time to record, so this time is enough."
Qiao Ge thought about it and agreed.
Xu Su on the stage raised the microphone to her lips and began to introduce herself: "Hello everyone, my name is Xu Su, and I'm an actor."
She was the show's final gimmick contestant, having previously won Best Actress, and her former Best Actor co-winner was still on the judges' panel. So the host quickly asked, "I've seen Mr. Xu's TV series before; he's amazing and has won many awards. How did you come to participate in our show?"
Xu Su raised her eyes slightly. Long before she came to the show, she had anticipated that there would be a day when her past glory would become the talk of others before she could come up with her next work.
So she said calmly: "It's all performance, it's all stage, it's the same wherever you are. Since I'm a contestant, just call me Xu Su."
The host nodded: "Does Xu Su still remember our teacher Qiao Ge? You two have worked together before, both winning the Best Actress and Best Actor awards that year. Now we are old acquaintances meeting each other."
"Of course I remember." Qiao Ge, who was on the judging panel, spoke first. "I was very impressed by Teacher Xu. He was very outstanding back then. I feel very sorry that I haven't met him again. I hope we can continue to work together in the future, and I hope you can return to your former peak form."
When he said this, he kept staring at Xu Su, wanting to see her defenses break down, to see her feel inferior and unbearable because of these words.
But he didn't see any of these expressions, but instead saw Xu Su who was always calm.
"Thank you for your good wishes." Xu Su smiled. "I will continue to work hard and return to the top. I hope you won't be disappointed then."
Qiao Ge's expression froze. "Why should I be disappointed? Of course I'm happy, but it seems you're very confident."
"Before I went on stage, someone told me that I've always been excellent and a very capable person. I don't know why I seemed to have forgotten this in the past few years, but now I remember it." Xu Su said slowly, "Since I have a clear conscience and have tried my best every step of the way, why can't I be more confident in myself for who I am?"
Some audience members applauded. Qiao Ge suppressed his uneasiness and said, "That's very well said. I wonder who said that?"
Xu Su smiled slightly: "You will know."
