"Don't expose something big just because you disagree with me." Li Zhao laughed, "Are you interns?"
"How did you know?" The two reporters were a little surprised.
"Because experienced reporters won't ask so bluntly." Li Zhao picked up the mug and took a sip of water. "It's snowing so heavily today, and you guys are still out reporting news. Your faces are blue from the cold. Experienced reporters have mature experience in scheduling interviews, and they won't wait like you guys."
reporter:"……"
"I hope you won't do this again. If it happens again, I will pretend not to see it, even if it's snowing, not to mention knives." Li Zhao put the mug on the table, "Come on, think about what other questions you want to ask."
Reporter: "Then let's talk about your new movie. There are rumors that the movie you starred in, "Shadow of the Sky" and "Seven Boyfriends", will compete with each other during the Spring Festival. Which movie do you think is better?"
"It seems like you guys really want to reveal something big." Li Zhao couldn't help laughing. "Both of these are excellent movies. Only children would make the choice, but adults would definitely watch both. I'm very optimistic about both of them, and I hope everyone will support them. The two journalist friends will also buy tickets to show their support, right?"
“Yes, yes, yes.”
The reporter didn't expect Li Zhao to be so hardworking. When he was interviewed, he even promoted the box office of the movie he starred in.
"Do you think you will fail this final exam?" The two reporters finally remembered Li Zhao's identity as a student.
"I don't think it's useful. It depends on what the teacher thinks." Li Zhao thought about it seriously. "Personally, I think the possibility of failing the course is still small."
"Because your attendance rate is high?"
"Isn't it because I study hard and have good grades?" Li Zhao felt that these two reporters were a little bad at speaking.
The reporter smiled embarrassedly and quickly changed the topic to praise Li Zhao.
At the end of the interview, the reporter asked Li Zhao: "Zhao Zhao, the film you and Lu Hao are working on is about to be completed. Will you take on a TV series or a movie next year?"
"If I come across a suitable role, I can give it a try." Li Zhao said seriously, "It can be a supporting role or a leading role, as long as time permits."
Over the past six months, marketing accounts have occasionally spread rumors that Li Zhao’s endorsements for Cangxing Automobile and Cangshi Watches would be lost, but each time they were refuted by the official Weibo accounts of the two companies. Now everyone knows that the brands are very satisfied with Li Zhao as a spokesperson.
However, there are still marketing accounts saying that Li Zhao’s popularity has declined in the past six months and he is about to lose popularity.
Pear fans did not react much to this. Li Zhao is following the traditional actor route, not the traffic route. It is not a good thing to be on the hot search every day.
As long as the audience likes the TV series he stars in and people are willing to spend money to buy tickets for the movies he stars in, he is a success.
"Thank you Zhao Zhao for accepting our interview." The reporter turned off the camera and thanked Li Zhao.
Li Zhao shook hands with them and said, "Don't do this again. Your family would be distressed if they knew that you squatted in the snow for so long just to interview a star. And your behavior also disturbed the lives of other students. I hope that next time I interview you, you will have become official reporters."
"Thank you." The two reporters felt a little embarrassed and thanked Li Zhao and apologized. As the two were leaving the office, they saw the professor coming in from the lounge with a plate of snacks.
Was this served because they knew they were leaving?
The two reporters felt mixed emotions. Li Zhao drank water from a mug, while they used paper cups.
It seems that the professors at Kyoto University really care about their students.
"Is the interview over?" The professor put the snacks on the table and smiled at the reporter: "Goodbye."
reporter:"……"
We understand, we'll leave right away.
"Professor, has Auntie made some delicious food again?" As soon as Li Zhao saw these snacks, he knew that they were made by the professor's wife.
"Yes, she knew you would come to school today, so she prepared it early in the morning and asked me to bring it to her office." The professor smiled and put the snacks in Li Zhao's hand. "How are you reviewing your lessons?"
"Delicious." Li Zhao ate two in one gulp, "Thank you, Auntie."
The professor laughed along.
"I have almost finished my review. I will definitely not fail the exam."
"It doesn't matter if you don't fail the course. Try to get a scholarship." The professor put on his glasses, took a book from the drawer and sat on the chair next to him. "Eat slowly and go back after you finish."
"Professor Lin, there are so many brilliant students in our school. You think too highly of me by letting me get a scholarship." Li Zhao approached the professor with snacks in his hand. "The graduate students you supervise are all top students. How could they understand the pain of an ordinary student like me?"
"You haven't been to school for two years. How can you be an ordinary student if you can get into Beijing University?"
"That's because I had real academic geniuses tutoring me, predicting questions for me, and inviting several teachers from famous universities to teach me remotely." Li Zhao couldn't help shuddering when he thought of the months before the college entrance examination. "The teachers estimated my score to be around 680, and I got 701 thanks to my ancestors."
Maybe his ancestors saw that he was lost and felt it was too pitiful for him to live alone, so they blessed him with a smart brain and helped him get high scores when he was taking the exam.
"Your academic friend is a very nice person." The professor's name is Lin Shen. According to him, his ancestors have produced many top scorers in the imperial examinations, as well as numerous Jinshi and Juren.
Li Zhao didn't know whether it was true or not, but Professor Lin's family had a strong academic atmosphere. Many people in his family were scientific research experts who brought glory to the country and benefited the people.
"That's right, he is the best friend in the world." When Li Zhao heard the professor praising Yan Ting, his eyes smiled into crescents.
Professor Lin knew from his expression that this friend meant a lot to Li Zhao. He glanced at his messy bookshelf and said, "You need to digest your snacks after eating them. Anyway, you have almost finished your review, so help me tidy up the bookshelf before you leave. I will treat you to dinner tonight."
"Did Auntie make this herself?" Li Zhao asked.
Professor Lin laughed: "It's not made by my wife, why don't you eat it?"
"Hehe." Li Zhao scratched his head and laughed. He put down the plate of snacks and helped Professor Lin organize the bookcase.
Professor Lin's gaze fell on Li Zhao's neck again, with an expression of unrelieved emotion in his eyes.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when I finished tidying up the bookcase. The school arranged an on-campus residence for Lin Shen, and Lin Shen and his wife have been living in the school for some time.
Li Zhao followed behind Lin Shen, carrying large and small bags of vegetables. When the other teachers saw him, they all smiled and said, "Xiao Li, are you here to eat at Professor Lin's house again?"
"The kid has to film and study at the same time. My wife and I are worried that he can't keep up, so we brought him back to supplement his health." Before Li Zhao could say anything, Professor Lin spoke first, "With him accompanying us, dinner will be more lively for me and my wife."
The teasing teacher seemed to have thought of something, looked at Li Zhao, and smiled again: "That's true, children of their age eat the most, and we old people can also whet our appetites by watching them eat."
When the teacher returned home, his family asked, "Did Lao Lin have guests? I smell the chicken soup they are cooking."
"There's no class. It's a student that both Mr. Lin and his wife like very much. He's the star that our daughter likes very much, Li Zhao." The teacher took off his thick coat and sighed while changing his shoes. "If nothing happened to Mr. Lin's child, he would be the same age as the child named Li Zhao."
The family member quickly said, "Keep your voice down. If Yu Shu and Lao Lin hear it, how sad they will be."
Lin Shen and Du Yushu were in love with each other freely. Within two years of their marriage, the couple had a child and treated the child like a treasure. Who knew that when the nanny took the child out shopping, she encountered human traffickers.
The human trafficker snatched the child and ran away. When the police were tracking him, the trafficker's car broke down on the way and he and the child fell into the river. In the end, the trafficker's body was fished out, but the child was nowhere to be found.
How could such a young child survive if he fell into the water? I'm afraid even his body would be eaten up by the fish in the river.
Over the years, the couple would burn their child's clothes at the place where the accident happened every year, from baby clothes to adult clothes, never missing any time of the year.
"I know." The teacher glanced at the closed door behind him cautiously. "They are so nice to Li Zhao. It's probably because Li Zhao looks a bit like Du Yushu. The couple wants a child."
"well."
The couple sighed together, feeling sorry for the baby who was just a few months old and also for the couple themselves.
"Auntie, how do you make your chicken soup? Why does it smell so good?" As soon as Li Zhao entered the door, he smelled the fragrant aroma of chicken soup. He changed into slippers and ran to the kitchen.
"This is the pheasant I asked someone to buy. Slowly stew it in a clay pot. It will definitely taste good." Du Yushu smiled gently when he saw Li Zhao. He opened the lid of the clay pot and scooped some chicken legs and wings for Li Zhao. "Try it. Is the saltiness right?"
"Thank you, Auntie." Li Zhao took a look at the chicken legs and wings in the bowl, took a small stool, held the bowl, ate the chicken legs, and talked to Du Yushu, making her laugh continuously.
Du Yushu is a woman so beautiful that people forget her age. Even when she is cooking in the kitchen, she looks like she is dancing. Her hands are white, tender and delicate, and it is obvious that she does not cook often.
Lin Shen stood in the living room, looking at the smile on his wife's face, and felt a little pain in his heart. He knew why his wife was so nice to Li Zhao, but he was reluctant and unwilling to expose this beauty.
"Auntie, let me cut these." Li Zhao finished eating the chicken Du Yushu had scooped for him, put down the bowl and washed his hands, "You go watch TV with the professor."
"How can I let you do all this by yourself?" Du Yushu handed Li Zhao an apron. "You cut the vegetables and I'll cook. Lao Lin, come over and peel the garlic."
Lin Shen, who was usually respected by students at school, could only peel garlic and smell the chicken soup in front of his wife, but he could not eat it.
"Zhao Zhao, when will the movie you star in be released? Lao Lin and I will buy tickets to support you." Du Yushu felt a little distressed when he saw Li Zhao cutting vegetables skillfully.
What a good child! I wonder how cruel his adoptive parents must be to abuse such a good child.
"Auntie, I'll give you the tickets. I'm the lead actor, so I have free tickets for friends and relatives." Li Zhao smiled, "And they're tickets for the in-house tour."
"Okay." Du Yushu thought that after the tour, he would buy a few more tickets for himself and invite his family to watch it together.
With the cooperation of the three, a sumptuous dinner was set at the table. Li Zhao took out his mobile phone, took a photo and sent it to Yan Ting, saying that he went to the professor's house for a free meal and asked him not to worry.
"She even sent photos of our meals, so it looks like she's your girlfriend?" Du Yushu smiled and passed the other big chicken leg to Li Zhao.
Li Zhao used clean chopsticks to cut the chicken thigh into two pieces, gave half to Du Yushu and the other half to Lin Shen: "It's my love."
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere here was good, or perhaps Li Zhao did not want to hide his feelings for Yan Ting, so at this moment, he told the truth.
Du Yushu was stunned for a moment, looking at the half chicken leg in the bowl, then seeing Li Zhao chewing the chicken leg bone, he asked with a smile: "You two must have a very good relationship."
She has lived for more than fifty years and has seen everything. She is also very tolerant of feelings. When Li Zhao did not call her girlfriend but said lover, she understood the other person's gender.
"Yes." Li Zhao nodded. "He is my lover and also my family. Even when I took the college entrance examination, he supported and helped me. He always agrees with whatever I say, but he is very strict with me when it comes to studying."
"Love is about caring, not indulgence." Du Yushu smiled and sighed, "He must be a very good person. You have a good eye."
"He has a good eye, too." Li Zhao smiled, "So we are a perfect match."
Lin Shen didn't say anything, but just smiled as he scooped chicken soup for Du Yushu and Li Zhao. After scooping it out, he smiled as he ate the half chicken leg that Li Zhao gave him.
Just after I finished eating half a chicken leg, there was a knock on the door.
As soon as the door opened, he heard the excited voice of his elder brother who had been spending all year in the research institute.
"Second brother, our research institute has been working on a genetic database for many years, and it's finally done!"
The author has something to say: Baby Zhaozhao was having dinner at his elders’ house. Before eating, he picked up the phone and called baby Tingting to report what he had eaten.
The elders teased: Zhao Zhao, are you talking to your girlfriend on the phone?
Baby Zhao Zhao shook his head seriously: She’s not a girlfriend, she’s a lover.
