She felt a chill run down her spine; for the first time in her life, she truly understood the meaning of this idiom.
For some reason, when Lin Yang heard this person call her "aunt," she felt that nothing good was going to happen.
Is it too late for her to pretend she didn't hear?
She wanted to walk, but her legs felt like they were made of lead, and she couldn't lift them at all.
"Auntie, wait for me!" The boy who had snatched her orange juice slowly caught up with Lin Yang, who was frozen in place.
He has delicate features, and his eyes seem to hold an entire starry sky. If he looks at you intently, you can almost see the stars and the sea within them and be captivated by them.
His cheeks still have a bit of baby fat, unlike Xu Chengzhi's sharp features, so they probably feel nice to pinch.
Looking closely, she looks to be only eighteen years old, just coming of age. She is younger than her, but not so young that she should call her "aunt" or "cousin".
"Who...who exactly are you?" Lin Yang's lips twitched, and she subconsciously hugged the milk tea to her chest, as if afraid that it would suffer the same fate as the orange juice.
The boy noticed Lin Yang's possessive behavior towards her food, and his eyes crinkled into a smile. "Auntie, don't you recognize me, Xiao Zheng? Oh, and I don't like drinking milk tea. It's easy to gain weight. Auntie, you'd better drink less too, or don't blame me for not reminding you if you get fat."
Are you kidding me? How could she be fat?
She was known for her love of food in her original world. No matter how much she ate and drank, she never gained a pound of weight. In fact, she even lost weight!
Currently, the only thing missing from her body is the red heart-shaped birthmark; the rest of her body should be similar to her original body.
Wait, that's not the point. The point is that he said his name was Xiao Zheng. Huh? Did the original owner know such a person?
Lin Yang began a thorough search, digging into her fragmented memories.
hiss……
Lin Yang tilted her head and thought for several minutes, but still couldn't find the character Xiao Zheng in the original owner's memories of the "Dynasty" crew.
“Aunt, even though we only see each other a few times a year, you can't possibly not remember me at all, right? You used to call me a tagalong when we were little, have you forgotten?” Xiao Zheng was unwilling to give up and tried to awaken Lin Yang’s memory from other aspects.
A tagalong? Xiao Zheng? Aunt?
Lin Yang grasped these keywords and began to delve deeper into the original owner's memories with a frown.
"Nephew?" After thinking for a long time, Lin Yang finally found a few glimpses of Xiao Zheng in the corner of the original owner's memory and tentatively called out the original owner's address for Xiao Zheng.
“Hey, it’s me, Auntie!” Xiao Zheng smiled even more when he heard Lin Yang’s affectionate and familiar address to him, and his hometown accent came through.
Xiao Zheng was originally a distant relative of hers, someone she barely had any connection with. Because they got along well, they would meet up twice a year.
According to seniority, you should call her "aunt" and her father "grandfather".
In the original owner's memory, Xiao Zheng and she didn't have much interaction in their lives, and they hadn't met since she became obsessed with love.
No wonder she didn't have much of an impression and couldn't remember it for a while.
But how did he end up as an actor in the "Dynasty" series in this life?
"Nephew, what brings you to be an actor? What role are you playing?" Lin Yang, using his hometown accent, began to probe for information by leveraging their connection.
The secrecy surrounding Zheng Linzhou's drama was so tight that even she, the lead actress, didn't know which actors played which roles.
The only thing she knew before joining the cast was that Nie Wei, who was in the same company as her, was very likely to play the second female lead.
Although she has the memory of her previous life to her advantage, ever since she changed from the second female lead to the female lead, it seems that many things have been quietly changing along with her.
For example, she only found out when she arrived at the scene that Xu Chengzhi, who was supposed to play the second male lead in her previous life, had actually become the male lead.
As for Chu Yu, whenever she tried to think about him, her head would inexplicably ache, and in the end, all she could think about was a blank.
"The third male lead, hehe." Xiao Zheng scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, revealing two shallow dimples. Then he changed the subject, "But Aunt, does Grandpa agree to you continuing to be an actor?"
The grandfather Xiao Zheng mentioned is Lin Yang's father.
In the original owner's memories, the relationship between her and her father was not close, and was even somewhat precarious.
The Lin family has been in business for generations, and each generation has only one child, regardless of gender, without exception.
Each of them is exceptionally intelligent and a promising successor to the Lin family business. The family business is managed meticulously, and their careers are thriving.
But when it came to Lin Yang, according to his father, the Lin family produced only one actor who took the crooked path of the entertainment industry.
Actors were considered extremely lowly by the Lin family.
The reason the Lin family dislikes acting so much is that in their family history, someone fell in love with an actor, which almost bankrupted the Lin family.
Driven by her passion for acting, Lin Yang disregarded her family's threat to sever ties with her and resolutely embarked on this path of no return.
Having been in the entertainment industry for eight years, he also severed ties with his family for eight years.
Gradually, people forgot that she was originally the heiress of the Lin Group.
After struggling in the industry for eight years without any background or help from others, he gritted his teeth and persevered until now, without making a splash, until he switched to the film industry and gradually started to see some improvement.
Thinking of this, Lin Yang weakly curled the corners of her lips, shook her head, and softly answered Xiao Zheng's question, "Never."
Yes, I never agreed.
"Oh, it's alright, Auntie. Grandpa's all bark and no bite. My mom took me to visit you the other day, and he kept talking about you. You should go back and see him when you have time." Xiao Zheng may seem carefree on the surface, but he's actually quite perceptive. He sensed the heavy emotions behind those two simple words, so he smiled sheepishly and quietly changed the subject to something less sad.
