Chapter 72 Not Bitter



After finishing the delicious meal, Li Zhao sat on the sofa. Zhang Xiaoyuan looked at him, thinking about how to start the conversation.

The hot topic related to Li Zhao was inexplicably removed shortly after it came up, and they didn't have time to take any action yet.

According to the thinking of general companies, they will definitely hype up this matter and try their best to increase the audience's sympathy and tolerance for Li Zhao.

Strawberry Entertainment is a mature company and it certainly understands the benefits that can be brought about by this matter. But the company did nothing, and even made it clear that it respected all of Li Zhao's choices and would fully cooperate with the team's work.

"The hot topic has been removed. You don't need to care too much about what's online." Any words are pale at this time: "Go to bed early at night. In a few days, the heat will gradually fade away."

"I know." Li Zhao stuffed a bag of dried fruits into Zhang Xiaoyuan's pocket and asked, "Eat while we talk?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: “…”

She was still in the mood to persuade him to eat, it seemed that she was really not affected.

"Arrange a talk show for me." Li Zhao peeled pumpkin seeds. "A lot of people are concerned about my life. I can't let them worry."

"But..." Zhang Xiaoyuan really didn't want Li Zhao to think about the past days anymore.

"The past must be in the past." Li Zhao put the peeled pumpkin seeds into Yan Ting's palm, "Only by letting go of the past can we face the future."

Zhang Xiaoyuan was slightly stunned, then suddenly laughed again.

Yes, the strong child back then has grown up, and now he is stronger than before.

"good."

After discussing the talk show, Li Zhao sent Zhang Xiaoyuan away and sat back next to Yan Ting.

The pumpkin seeds in front of Yan Ting had piled up into a small mountain. Li Zhao had peeled them while chatting with Zhang Xiaoyuan.

"Eat it." Li Zhao took out his cell phone. "You don't know how hard it is to peel a whole pumpkin seed."

Yan Ting thought, then let’s buy the shelled ones next time.

But when he saw Li Zhao's exposed toes, he swallowed his words and covered him with a towel.

"I'll be happier after eating pumpkin seeds." Li Zhao leaned against Yan Ting. "If you're not in a good mood, you'll age faster."

Yan Ting didn't say anything.

"Are you still unhappy?" Li Zhao put down his phone and chuckled. "I have long forgotten what happened in the past. Why are you so upset?"

"Ten years ago, I was eighteen years old." Yan Ting rubbed his temples: "I could have helped you."

"What nonsense are you talking about? We didn't even know each other back then. You didn't even know I existed, so how could you help me?" Li Zhao patted his stomach and said, "I don't have a Doraemon pocket that can take out a space-time portal."

Yan Ting reached out and rubbed Li Zhao's head, as if coaxing a three-year-old child: "Then I'll fill your pocket."

"Don't touch a man's head." Li Zhao scratched Yan Ting's hair with his backhand. "I'm living a good life now. Don't be upset about the past. It's not worth it."

"I'm not angry anymore, but you're still angry. Are you stupid?"

Yan Ting didn't know whether he was stupid or not. He only knew that if he could go back to ten years ago, he would take Zhao Zhao away, give him the best clothes, the best education, the most interesting toys, and never let him suffer any grievances.

"The college entrance examination is just a few months away. Do you want to try?"

Yan Ting's question stunned Li Zhao, who was originally smiling: "Why did you bring up this matter?"

"It's never too late to study." Yan Ting was not good at persuading people, but in front of Li Zhao, he seemed particularly cautious: "You are so smart, you will definitely get good grades."

Li Zhao touched his phone without saying anything.

He looked up at Yan Ting, who was looking at him and accepting everything about him.

"Okay." Li Zhao smiled: "We have to give it a try."

"Then I'll have someone arrange all the formalities for taking the college entrance exam." Yan Ting thought for a moment, "Starting tomorrow morning, remember to drink a bowl of fish soup."

"Why?"

"Brain supplement."

In the blink of an eye, Yan Ting turned into a serious parent with a child taking the college entrance examination.

In order to be a qualified parent, he also posted a message on WeChat Moments.

[Yan Ting: My child is going to take the college entrance examination this year. What should parents do? 】

This circle of friends still blocked Li Zhao.

That evening, Yan Ting received nutritional meal recipes, various mock exams, and public account articles from the company's senior management, which included various precautions for parents.

Yan Ting frowned tightly as he made a table of the list of all the mock papers.

With so many papers, which one is the best?

He silently deleted the form. Quality is more important than quantity. He decided to collect more suggestions from other parents before buying the papers.

Early the next morning, Zhu Xia and several other friends came over and the housekeeper received them warmly.

Zhu Linlin whispered in Chen Xiaojun's ear: "Zhao Zhao's friend's family is very particular. I saw that they even ironed the newspapers."

In today's information age, not many people read newspapers anymore, let alone iron them. Isn't this something that the rich people in novels do?

Zhu Xia turned her head and smiled at Zhu Linlin, but she was roaring in her heart.

Because this is Boss Canghuan’s home, it’s right to be particular about it.

The four of them were talking in low voices, and not long after, Yan Ting came down from the stairs.

"Zhao Zhao slept late yesterday, so I didn't ask anyone to wake him up." Yan Ting walked up to them and said, "Welcome to our house."

"We came too early." Zhu Xia smiled at Yan Ting, "Old... Young..."

It’s not appropriate to call her boss or Xiao Yan. Her life is too difficult.

"Sister Xia, just call me Xiao Yan." Yan Ting knew that they came so early because they were worried about Li Zhao. "Don't worry, the hot topics on the Internet have all been removed, and Zhao Zhao has not been greatly affected."

"Yanting, thank you for staying with Zhaozhao." Zhu Xia smiled bitterly, "Zhaozhao is too sensible. He won't say anything even if he's been wronged. Fortunately, you are here, so I can feel at ease."

"These are what I should do." Yan Ting didn't like others thanking him. It made him feel that Zhao Zhao was more familiar and closer to these people.

After a while, Zhu Xia heard footsteps coming from upstairs. She looked up and saw Li Zhao wearing pajamas, with messy hair, looking like he had not woken up yet.

Seeing that the housekeeping staff seemed accustomed to it, Zhu Xia was almost certain that Li Zhao lived with Yan Ting when he was not filming.

"Sister Xia, Brother Ming, Brother Xiaojun, Sister Linlin, good morning." Li Zhao walked to Yan Ting's side, leaned his head against Yan Ting very naturally, and yawned: "I slept too late yesterday, and I didn't even run today."

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Li Zhao looked normal. As long as he was okay, they were glad.

"Why are you running? Aren't we going to have a barbecue?" Zhu Xia reached out to pat his forehead, but just as she was about to pat him, Yan Ting's hand was faster than hers and blocked Li Zhao's forehead.

"I'm going upstairs to change my clothes." Li Zhao stood up, "Tingting, wait for me for five minutes, and I'll come down to have breakfast with you."

Zhu Xia silently withdrew her hand and pretended nothing had happened.

As the eldest sister, she feels relieved that her son has a "wife" who loves him.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a big problem, and she must study it well.

After breakfast, the barbecue grill in the yard had been set up. Li Zhao pulled the clumsy Yan Ting and taught him how to make barbecue.

The housekeeper stood not far away, watching Yan Ting being bossed around by Li Zhao and looking helpless, with a smile on his face that he could hardly conceal.

"Li Zhao's childhood... was really so miserable?" In the dressing room, Song Yu flipped through the news related to Li Zhao, and his mood became very complicated.

When he was in the crew of "The Domineering Female Boss", he laughed at Li Zhao for being poor, but now he is struggling with his conscience.

No wonder Li Zhao always ate up all the high-calorie food he bought. Even when he mocked him, Li Zhao pretended not to understand. He even took the food from him with a smile the next time he bought it.

He was abused at such a young age and almost lost his life. He relied on his predictive dreams to take away the resources that originally belonged to Li Zhao. He is simply a scumbag.

If he is not famous, at most he will go home and inherit the property.

If Li Zhao is not famous, he will have nothing.

Song Yu looked at the photo of the man covered in wounds once, but didn't dare to click on it to look at it a second time. He began to feel fortunate that even though he had switched roles, Li Zhao still became popular.

"Xiao Yu'er, the production team is getting ready to start filming." The assistant came in to remind Song Yu.

The ratings of the variety show "Love" were not good, and a guest dropped out halfway through, so Song Yu came to fill the vacancy.

"Don't worry about it, let them come in and take pictures." Song Yu was scolded by netizens for being a show-off every day. He no longer had any image burden. He didn't even look at the camera and removed Li Zhao's name from the WeChat blacklist.

Then he started sending red envelopes to Li Zhao frantically.

It is better to give a huge sum of money than to ask about your well-being.

Zhao Zhao has good luck:? ? ?

My world: spiritual compensation.

Zhao Zhao is lucky: Tell me, what rumors do you want me to help you clarify online?

In my world: You can’t give out red envelopes if there’s nothing to do. I have plenty of money, so I’m willing to do it.

After sending this message, Song Yu felt a little regretful and awkwardly withdrew the message: "Just take it if you send it, why are you asking so many questions?"

After sending out a bunch of red envelopes, Song Yu's guilt finally subsided a little.

"Xiao Yu'er, have you ever watched our show before participating in it?"

"I've seen a little bit."

"So what's your impression of the other guests?"

Song Yu praised him perfunctorily.

"What about Xu Bei? You two are actors of the same age, and there are many netizens online who compare you with Xu Bei. Will you become friends during this recording?"

What the hell is Xu Bei?

Are you worthy enough to compare with him?

He is a little confused, but not to this extent, right?

Some time ago, Xu Bei bought articles to criticize Li Zhao, but because of the huge difference in their looks, he was laughed at wildly by passers-by. Before Li Zhao's studio took any action, Xu Bei committed suicide.

In his dream, the variety show "Love" should have Li Zhao but not Xu Bei, and after the show was broadcast, the ratings continued to rise. After this season ended, Li Zhao had become the national son-in-law in the hearts of mothers.

As a result, in reality, Li Zhao, the national son-in-law, is gone, the ratings of "Love" have been declining, and even one of the guests has left, so they had to pull him in to make up the numbers.

According to the rule that one should not offend God's own son, "My Fair Girlfriend" may also fail.

This Xu Bei seems to be particularly interested in the resources that originally belonged to Li Zhao in the premonition dream?

Was he dreaming too?

"Being friends requires fate." Song Yu smiled at the camera.

Haha, he definitely won’t be friends with idiots who seek death.

After Li Zhao's life experience was exposed, subsequent developments allowed many people to see the good side of human nature.

An official Weibo account praised this as a shining point of human nature, and some praised the local authorities for doing a good job ten years ago. Although many people were curious about Li Zhao's life when he was young, almost no one mentioned it in order not to expose Li Zhao's scars.

So when Li Zhao was a guest in Qingjiao Entertainment's live chat room, he attracted the attention of countless netizens, causing the Qingjiao Entertainment server to freeze several times.

After the polite greetings, the conversation gradually turned serious.

"There have been a lot of news about you online recently, and netizens are worried about you. Do you have anything to say to your fans and netizens?"

Li Zhao stood up and bowed deeply to the live camera: "Thank you everyone, the child you protected back then has grown up well, don't worry about him anymore, he is doing well."

Qiqi is in her early thirties and has her own house, a stable job and a cat. She originally didn’t like to chase stars, but when she learned that Li Zhao was the child who made her feel so distressed back then, she unconsciously started to pay attention to his updates.

When she learned that Li Zhao would participate in a live talk show, she turned on her phone after work and joined the live broadcast.

The fat cat lay on her knees, lazily like a big boss.

When she saw Li Zhao stand up, bend down and bow, she wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.

Ten years have passed.

He was doing well, with no bruises on his body, thick hair on his head, and no visible scars.

very nice.

The host asked: "Has it been hard these years?"

Li Zhao shook his head: "It's not hard. I've lived a very happy life in the past ten years. Especially in the past year, I often feel that I am a very lucky person."

"Why do you say that?" The host was a little surprised. At this time, the guests should try their best to exaggerate the hardships and difficulties they have experienced in order to resonate emotionally with the audience.

In the quiet study, Yan Ting sat on a chair, looking at Li Zhao on the screen.

Only when Li Zhao couldn't see him did he dare to look at him so wantonly and unconcealedly.

"Ten years ago, the aunt who was sitting in the same car with me was very nice. She comforted me all the way and told me not to be afraid. She also told me stories about little bugs." Li Zhao recalled what happened ten years ago with a smile on his face. "She told me that herons have long legs and toucans have big beaks."

The host's eyes were red, but she did not interrupt Li Zhao.

"Don't think my life is hard. In fact, the welfare home is very good. We get new clothes every quarter, and there are many volunteers to play with us." Li Zhao smiled and held up two fingers. "And we can eat chicken legs twice a week. The food is super good."

The author has something to say: Baby Tingting: Wuuuuu, my Zhaozhao is so miserable.

Baby Zhao Zhao: Not miserable at all. I can eat two chicken legs a week.
