Bai Zhilan had imagined countless times what her mother would look like. She knew that she had no formal education and that she grew up in a small mountain village and had never seen the outside world. She may not have a beautiful appearance, profound knowledge, elegant demeanor, or calm and appropriate conversation and talent that amazes the world, but so what? She will always be Bai Zhilan's mother, and no one can change that.
But after actually meeting my mother, all those stereotypes were destroyed. She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
The live broadcast room was quiet for a moment, and then there was a large number of exclamation marks and screams.
I saw a woman standing in the open door, with thick, sword-like eyebrows that slanted into her temples; her skin was white and translucent, and shiny; her eyes were black and bright, and as deep as a starry sky; her thin lips were naturally upturned, but not at all friendly, but instead revealed a kind of arrogance that was not a smile.
Although Bai Zhilan has an elegant name, she does not look elegant at all. Instead, she has an aggressive and gorgeous appearance. Her every smile, every move, is incredibly beautiful. No matter how much the trolls on the Internet dislike her, they have to admit that her looks are completely worthy of the word "divine beauty".
Someone once lamented: "What kind of mother could give birth to a daughter as beautiful as Bai Zhilan?"
Some people even said with certainty: "Bai Zhilan must have had plastic surgery. According to my estimation, she opened her eyes, had her nose bridge augmented, and had her forehead and chin filled. Otherwise, she would never be so dazzlingly beautiful and flawless."
Time magazine even listed Bai Zhilan on the list of the 50 most beautiful people of the year, and she was the only Chinese woman on the list. Where does her beauty come from? Is it nature or nurture? Now, the answer to the question is before the audience.
After meeting her mother, no one would doubt that Bai Zhilan had plastic surgery. Compared with her exquisite and flawless appearance, her mother is even brighter and more generous. Her tall figure is divided by the golden ratio. She wears a white shirt on the upper body and jeans on the lower body. Her long and straight legs are wearing a pair of long boots. It is clearly her work outfit, but she looks like a model who walked out of a fashion magazine. Her aura is very strong.
She tied her thick black hair into a thick braid and let it casually fall on her shoulders, looking very lazy. Time seemed to be particularly kind to her, without leaving even the slightest trace on her face. Standing together with Bai Zhilan, they looked more like sisters than mother and daughter.
Facing a mother who was as bright as a rose of Versailles and as heroic as a gladiolus, Bai Zhilan could not help but take a step back with a look of realization on her face. Guo Yuwei and Xiaoguo were so frightened that they stood at the bottom of the stairs with their suitcases, not daring to move for a long time.
The live broadcast room was in an uproar, with viewers constantly making weird noises like perverts: [Ahhhhhhh! Is this my mother? It’s so beautiful that it makes me cry! 】
【Where’s the agreed weight of 180 kilograms?】 Where is the down-and-out middle-aged woman with yellow skin and dry hair? How could Mr. Bai bear to divorce his mother when she is so beautiful? Compared to her, Liu Manni's appearance is nothing compared to her! 】
[Mother is the real goddess!] I finally know why my Lanlan is so beautiful! 】
[To tell you the truth, Lanlan, don’t be unhappy, your mother is prettier than you! 】
[Is this person really forty years old? Impossible! Look at her figure, her skin, her hairline, she is better maintained than me, a post-00s! 】
[Tsk, no matter how beautiful she is, she is still an illiterate! When looking for a partner, one also has to consider the degree of spiritual compatibility. Mr. Bai likes beautiful souls, so what? 】
[It’s none of your business if your mother has never received any education!] Have you eaten your rice? 】
Occasionally, a few haters tried to attack Lin Dan, but they were all sprayed back by Bai Zhilan's fans and a group of face lovers. On the Internet, you can express your own original ideas and do something different, but you must not be ugly. If you want to become famous and attract the audience's favor, appearance is the decisive factor. Only when the audience is attracted by your appearance will they be interested in getting to know your inner self. Love of beauty is human nature, and no one can change it.
After only a few seconds of appearance, the term #mostbeautifulcelebritymom# was pushed to the top of the hot searches by the audience. The audiences in several other live broadcast rooms began to slowly shift to Bai Zhilan's room. For a time, she became the most watched guest on the show. Only when An Chongying appeared could she compete with her in traffic.
Lin Dan didn't know that his good looks had won his daughter a lot of fans. He was taking off his muddy canvas gloves and said slowly, "You're here? What are you still standing there for? Come in." If it was the original owner, he would have rushed down the stairs and hugged Bai Zhilan tightly and cried bitterly. But Lin Dan could not experience such feelings, nor could he do such revealing things.
Seeing her indifferent attitude, Bai Zhilan seemed a little disappointed, but also seemed relieved. She still can't say "Mom" now.
The audience has high expectations for the two people's meeting. They originally thought that the mother and daughter would hug each other and cry, then tell each other about their situations over the years, perform a sensational scene and earn the audience's tears. But surprisingly, the two did not say a single extra word, nor did they exchange much eye contact. They just said "You're here" in a plain voice and passed over the beginning of the story.
Some viewers expressed their incomprehension, but more viewers thought it was OK. After all, we haven't seen each other for fifteen years. Of course, there are a lot of things we want to say when we meet again, but who can say them out loud? The biggest problem is the lack of common language and common experience, not to mention that both of them are so bright and beautiful, and at first glance they are strong women with a queen-like style. A cold and indifferent greeting is their style, so what's the point of crying and holding each other's heads? It really destroys the image of the two goddesses!
Bai Zhilan tried to lift the suitcase, but after a long time she failed to climb up the step. Xiaoguo and Guo Yuwei were each carrying a suitcase weighing 70 to 80 kilograms, and they really couldn't spare the time to help.
Lin Dan walked down slowly, picked up Bai Zhilan's suitcase, then took Xiaoguo's suitcase, then tiptoed and carried the suitcase in Guo Yuwei's hand up the stairs. Things that are as heavy as a thousand pounds in other people's hands are light in her hands, as if they have no weight.
Bai Zhilan looked at her blankly, completely unsure of how to react.
"Aunt Lin, please be careful, the boxes are..." Xiao Guo hadn't finished her sentence when the three gift boxes had been taken back to the house by Lin Dan.
Audience in the live broadcast room: “…” Damn, Bai Zhilan’s mother’s style is so different! Isn't this too unpretentious?
The camera turned and the cameraman had already followed Lin Dan into the courtyard. Bai Zhilan hurriedly caught up, and when she saw the surrounding environment clearly, her expression froze again.
"Fuck!" Xiao Guo accidentally uttered a curse word, then quickly covered his mouth, but his eyes were shining brightly.
The yard was filled with all kinds of flowers and trees. There were laurels leaning against the corners, blooming with cages of light yellow mist; there were pink roses climbing on the tops of the walls, with flowers hanging down one by one; there were also the flourishing crab claw daisy and the fresh and elegant pampas grass. The fragrance, strong or light, hits you in the face, the red or white flowers are in disorder, the gravel path leads to a small wooden building, with green tiles, pure white walls, and log-colored supporting columns. Everything is natural, simple, and antique.
A gurgling stream flows slowly through the courtyard along the canal under the corner of the wall, carrying colorful fallen flowers and yellow leaves, and flows into a small pond outside the house, gathering into a clear spring. There are some water lilies in the spring water, and occasionally one or two bright red carps float up from the bottom of the pond, spitting bubbles.
There is an old copper bell hanging under the eaves of the main entrance. When the autumn breeze blows, it rings the bell and carries the tinkling sound to a farther place.
Bai Zhilan, who was used to big scenes, was actually a little shocked. Led by Lin Dandi, she walked into a room with the best lighting and looked around.
A roll of bamboo curtain is hung on the north-facing window of the room, which looks very artistic; in the middle is a four-poster bed, with pure white gauze hanging down along the bedposts, floating in the air, very dreamy; the pillows and quilt covers are brand new, and the light green floral fabric looks very comfortable; opposite the bed is an outdoor balcony, with a rocking chair placed on the edge of the balcony, coated with a layer of golden light by the warm autumn sun. Clusters of shrubs with small blooming flowers are planted in the flower bed outside the balcony, and the fragrance is so strong that it is intoxicating.
Bai Zhilan took a deep breath and exclaimed: "What kind of flower is this? It's more fragrant than osmanthus."
"This is Osmanthus fragrans. It blooms for more than 200 days out of 365 days a year. Its fragrance helps you sleep and can help you get a good night's sleep." Lin Dan introduced.
Bai Zhilan nodded silently for a long time. Lin Dan didn't speak actively, but opened the suitcase and helped her put her things in place. The mother and daughter had not seen each other for fifteen years, and their relationship was very unfamiliar, so the scene was very awkward.
An audience member joked: "My Lanlan looks like Granny Liu walking into the Grand View Garden!" Hahahahaha…】
[Mother, are you living in Peach Blossom Land?] 】
[This house is full of fairy air, it is worthy of being the place where my daughter Lanlan was born! 】
[No wonder Bai Zhilan's mother could live here for decades. If I were her, I would not want to leave either. When I get old, if I could have a place like this to retire, I would wake up laughing in my dreams! 】
The comments were all positive about the house. Accustomed to seeing magnificent skyscrapers, the audience feels that their eyes and souls are refreshed when they suddenly see such a quaint little wooden house.
Just at this moment, an old lady walked in from outside the courtyard and shouted at the top of her voice: "Xiao Lin, my grandson has diarrhea again. Do you still have that kind of plaster?"
Lin Dan took out a few plasters from the cabinet and said, "Aunt Luo, let's use the old method. Stick it on your belly button, one a day, and it will be healed within three days."
The old lady stretched her neck to look inside, but didn't ask anything and just walked away with a smile. Bai Zhilan walked to the window and asked casually, "What does she want from you?"
"Her grandson is sick and asked me to get medicine." Lin Dan said in a light tone.
"Aren't you a flower grower?" Bai Zhilan looked confused.
"They are all old folk remedies, passed down by our Lin family's ancestors. I have also taught myself some medical skills in the past few years." Lin Dan went back to the house to help his adopted daughter pack her luggage.
Bai Zhilan's voice suddenly raised: "You don't know anything about medicine, but you're still treating people recklessly? Do you know that folk remedies can kill people?" After she said this, she realized that this was a live broadcast, and her face turned pale.
The barrage of comments exploded instantly, and someone sighed: [Seeing this, I finally smelled the rural atmosphere of Bai Zhilan’s mother. No matter how bright and beautiful your appearance is, your mind is still ignorant. When you are sick, you don’t go to the doctor, but instead try these folk remedies, which is simply killing you! 】
