After watching this scene, Lin Dan couldn't help but tremble. When the princess on the screen jumped off the cliff, she seemed to relive that terrible dream again. Endless sorrow surged up and made her eyes red. She calmed down for a long time before she said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, I was wrong. It's not that you don't have acting skills, you just need to hone them. Maybe there are some things worth your trying."
Bai Zhilan turned her head away and said calmly, "No, that's not acting..."
She didn't finish her words, but Lin Dan already understood, and the audience also understood, that it was indeed not acting, it was life. While the princess questioned the general over and over again, the soul hidden in this body was also questioning others and herself over and over again - why doesn't anyone love me? Why? What am I doing wrong?
Bai Zhu had a loving father and a gentle mother, but she had nothing. She grew up like an abandoned baby...
Lin Dan couldn't bear to think about it anymore, so she opened her arms and said softly: "Come, come into your mother's arms, let me hug you." This was the first time she called herself a mother, but she was not as uncomfortable as she had imagined. If she could make this child happier, she was willing to be her mother and friend, and she was willing to play any meaningful role in her life.
Bai Zhilan turned her head suddenly to look at her, as if frightened.
Lin Dan said again: "Come, mommy will hold you."
Bai Zhilan's eyes quickly turned red. She always remembered that when she was a child, she walked out of the kindergarten and saw the smiling Liu Manni and Bai Pengfei bending down, saying in unison: "Come, mom (daddy) hold you." Then, Bai Zhu would fly past her like a cannonball and throw himself into their arms.
She was always the forgotten one. In the Bai family, she was redundant. No one would even look at her more, let alone love her more. She wondered in her dreams: Where is my mother? Why doesn't she come to see me? Why don't you hug me?
Eighteen years passed in the cold and neglect, and she grew up, but now, her mother opened her arms and said to her the words she had been waiting for for a long time.
Bai Zhilan curled her lips, wanting to sneer, wanting to arrogantly refuse this man's charity, but when she turned her head and looked into the other person's eyes, she saw endless tenderness and tolerance. Her tears welled up immediately, and no matter how hard she blinked, she couldn't make them evaporate.
Lin Dan looked at the girl whose eyes were red but who was stubbornly unwilling to move. Finally, he smiled helplessly, then took the initiative to move over and held her in his arms.
At this moment, Bai Zhilan really couldn't suppress herself anymore, and big tears rolled down her cheeks, unable to stop. Afraid that the camera would capture her ugly appearance, she quickly buried her head in her mother's neck and sobbed silently.
However, the audience did not find her red eyes and tear-soaked cheeks ugly. On the contrary, they think she is stunningly beautiful now. Throwing away the gaudy and sharp mask, she cried like a child, so fragile and pitiful that it touched the softest part of everyone's heart.
[I burst into tears...]
[It turns out that Lanlan's toughness, coldness, and arrogance were all disguises. 】
[Heartbroken!] Bai Zhilan has had a hard time! 】
[It’s not easy for her and her mother!] What a sin Bai Pengfei has committed! What a fucking scumbag of the century! It's so shameless! 】
[Bai Zhu and her mother have the nerve to come on this show, how shameless they are! 】
[Lanlan, don’t cry, you have a mother now! Can't you see that your mother loves you very much! 】
At this moment, the audience's love and hate were aroused by the two people hugging each other quietly. The more pitifully Bai Zhilan cried, the more the audience loved her. Conversely, the hatred towards Bai Pengfei, Bai Zhu and Liu Manni reached a new level. There are two live broadcast rooms here, one is a peaceful and quiet one, the other is a noisy and flashy one. Which one do you prefer? What's more, the hustle and bustle and splendor were stolen from others!
If Lin Dan had a bad life and a bad character, the audience would just sympathize with her, but she lived a very good life. She is kind, generous, and insightful. She manages her life like a poem or a painting, and her ideological realm is different from others. Comparing her with Liu Manni, the scene was really tragic. Liu Manni's refinement turned into vulgarity, and her nobility turned into pretentiousness. The audience found everything about her unpleasant.
There was another wave of rewarding in the live broadcast room, and everyone wanted to give all their love to the crying Bai Zhilan. This child is so pitiful! Overnight, Bai Zhilan gained a large number of loyal fans, which was also unexpected.
Lin Dan didn't know the audience's reaction. She was hugging Bai Zhilan and patting her gently. When she calmed down a little, she slowly said, "True love doesn't need to be prayed for. There are many people in this world who love you, including me, your friends, and your fans. You should focus on those who love you, instead of pinning your emotions on some unworthy people."
[Yes, yes, Lanlan, we love you!] 】
[Lanlan, get rid of your original family as soon as possible! Your dad is a scumbag, why do you still care about him? Your mother really loves you very much, so don't be sad anymore. 】
The screen was full of people comforting Bai Zhilan, and rewards came in waves. In the charity rankings, Bai Zhilan's donation amount has far exceeded An Zishi's.
Bai Zhilan was tired from crying, but her heart was at peace. She leaned on her mother's arms and fell asleep unknowingly. Lin Dan rubbed her hair, looked at her sleeping face, and couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.
[I’m going to die!] Bai Ma’s smile is so doting! 】
[I really hope to be the one she is looking at.] 】
The audience was just about to give Bai Ma a wave of gifts, but they saw her pick up Bai Zhilan, carry her into the bedroom, gently place her on the bed, and carefully cover her with a quilt. Her extraordinary strength and gentleness that penetrated into everyone's bones once again captured everyone's hearts.
[It’s over. I used to be a fan of Actor Ahn, but now I’m ready to quit! 】
[Bai Ma is too powerful and too gentle! I have never met anyone with such a unique temperament. 】
[I’m going to drown in Bai Ma’s arms!] 】
The audience screamed and gave tips crazily. That rich man Lang gave out gifts as if they were free, from the lowest level to the highest level, each level was 999 sets, the style was particularly eye-catching. Xiaoguo stared at the reward amount that kept rising and his mouth was watering. If this money doesn't need to be donated, wouldn't Sister Zhilan become rich overnight?
Bai Zhilan cried herself to sleep. Lin Dan returned to the living room, only to see the director sitting on the sofa with five small cards in his hand, and the cameraman was filming him.
"Are there any tasks?" Lin Dan spent two months understanding the filming process of the reality show, so he naturally knew the routines of the production team.
"It's not a task," the director said, placing five cards upside down on the table. "For the next episode, six groups of guests will form teams of two for filming. Since you and Teacher Bai are ranked first on the Love Ranking, you can draw a group of guests as your partners in advance and decide the filming process. In other words, you can film wherever you want in the next episode. You can visit them at their homes or invite them to come over as guests."
"It's a blind selection, can't we turn it over and see?" Lin Dan frowned.
"Yes, it's more fun to try your luck." The director rubbed his hands.
"Indeed, it would be more fun if we drew Bai Zhu and Liu Manni." Lin glanced at the other party indifferently.
The director was choked, but the audience was delighted: [Bai Ma's painting style has always been like this, she says what she thinks and never beats around the bush. 】
"Don't worry, the probability of this happening is only one in five." The director wiped the sweat off his forehead and explained, "Only the top three guests on the list are eligible to draw cards. You are the first place, so you can draw one of the five families. We will remove the card of the person you draw. The second place winner will draw the remaining three families, and the two families that are not drawn will automatically form a partnership."
"After all, I still have a chance of picking Bai Zhu, right? Does your production team also hope that I can pick her so as to create more hype?"
"No, no, no, this was a segment that was originally discussed by the program team. It is to increase the interaction among the guests and the fun of the program. It is not directed at you." The director explained hurriedly.
Lin Dan didn’t really care whether he would pick Bai Zhu or Liu Manni. Those two people were just two meaningless names to her, and meeting them or not had no effect on her. She stared at the five cards for a while and was about to choose one at random when the director's cell phone rang. It was a message from the chief director.
The director stared at the screen of his mobile phone and said apologetically, "Ms. Lin, please wait a moment. I'm going to make a phone call. There is an anomaly in the data in the live broadcast room. We need to deal with it." After saying that, he left, taking the five cards with him.
Lin Dan did not suspect anything and poured himself a cup of ginseng tea and drank it slowly. The audience was looking forward to the result of the card draw and stayed in the live broadcast room waiting. If Bai Ma really draws Bai Zhu and Liu Manni, that would be interesting. Will the two sides fight?
[Bai Ma’s chance of drawing Bai Zhu should be 100%. In order to create hype, the program crew will definitely put them together on purpose. Just wait and see! 】
[I strongly suspect that those five cards are all Bai Zhu's. No matter which one Bai Ma draws, she will be caught! 】
[Although it is despicable for the production crew to do this, why am I so excited about it? I want to see Bai Ma tear the mistress apart! 】
[If the two sides really get together, the ratings will definitely soar! The program crew is going to stir up trouble! 】
Amid the discussion of the audience, the director came back and put the five cards face down on the table again, his eyes flickering. Lin Dan didn't care about his abnormality at all, picked one at random and said, "This is it."
The card was turned over under the watchful eyes of everyone, and An Zishi's handsome face appeared on it. Lin Dan didn't have any special reaction, but the audience was confused. Oh my god, where's the promise of creating hype? It seems that they misunderstood the program team!
