As they were talking, the director suddenly let out a wail, "Why is it so dark?"
His wailing was so loud, filled with heart-wrenching roars, that it drew everyone's attention.
"What's wrong?" Gao Le asked.
The assistant director frowned and said to everyone, "There's a problem with the equipment; the live stream has dropped."
Gao Le immediately stepped forward, clutching the treasure chest, "Didn't you get a picture of the previous one either?"
He just tried so hard to steal the spotlight.
Did you end up with nothing?
The assistant director shook his head. "It's hard to say. The signal is bad right now, and we can't connect to the internet. There's no way to confirm if we just filmed it; it's still being edited."
Gao Le:...
"Fix it quickly!"
Gao Le, clutching the treasure chest, darted over to the staff member and eagerly watched them repair it.
His demeanor suggested that if he didn't know how, he would kick the staff aside and do it himself, but if he did, he would.
Trying to steal the spotlight!
Upon learning that the live stream had stopped, Zhao Jiayuan turned to look at Chen Chong with an unfriendly gaze.
Chen Chong took a step closer to him, "The situation is special."
Zhao Jiayuan scoffed, "Ha!"
Chen Chong tilted his head and smiled. "It really is special. You'll see when the network is back on."
Zhao Jiayuan continued to scoff, "Ha! Ha!"
Helpless, Chen Chong reached out to pinch Zhao Jiayuan's cheek, "You..."
Zhao Jiayuan immediately stepped back, saying, "Don't touch me, I'm giving you the cold shoulder."
Chen Chong took a big step closer, stretched out his long arm, and pulled him back into his arms.
Zhao Jiayuan dodged the attack with a serpentine movement, saying sarcastically, "Don't hug me, I'm not in any danger."
Chen Chong looked at him, his eyes darkening.
Zhao Jiayuan said aggressively, "Even if I'm in danger, I don't need you to carry me. Go carry someone else!"
After saying that.
He turned and walked away, " Xiaoxi..."
Before he could take a single step, Chen Chong suddenly stepped forward, swept him up in his arms, and scooped him up in his arms.
Zhao Jiayuan struggled, "Let go of me! Put me down! Who gave you permission to hug me? Put me down!"
Chen Chong's voice was low and hoarse, "Don't move, or I'll kiss you right here."
Zhao Jiayuan:...
The work crew members next door:...
Just as Zhao Jiayuan froze, and the staff around him were dumbfounded and didn't even have time to react while watching the drama unfold, Zhao Ke's eyes lit up, and he darted over to take a closer look.
Before he could even take two steps closer, as Chen Chong strode away, a staff member approached him with a phone in hand, " Teacher Zhao, your call."
Zhao Ke waved his hand, wanting to chase after him to get some more information, but said, "No, no."
"Not answering?" Feng Moshan's voice, filled with gritted teeth, came from the phone in the staff member's hand.
Zhao Ke was taken aback.
He turned around and looked at the phone in shock.
The staff member shrugged weakly and handed the phone to Zhao Ke.
Zhao Ke took his phone and went to the side to answer a call.
there.
Song Lan watched helplessly as Chen Chong carried the struggling Zhao Jiayuan away, her mind filled with Feng Moshan's words from last time. "We rolled around in bed for three days and three nights."
Song Lan licked her lips and looked at Jiang Mingxi again.
Jiang Mingxi... is she watching Bai Zheming?
Just a moment ago, Song Lan's mind was filled with teaching activities, and even the words on page 96, line 7 of "One Hundred Tips for Dating" appeared in her mind.
In that instant, all teaching activities were extinguished by the blatant eye contact between Jiang Mingxi and Bai Zheming right in front of him.
Without a second thought, Song Lan raised her hand to cover Jiang Mingxi's eyes. "Why are you looking at him?"
Caught off guard by having her eyes covered, Jiang Mingxi instinctively flinched back. "I dropped my jade pendant. Teacher Bai just found it and wants to return it to me."
Song Lan frowned and looked at Bai Zheming.
Sure enough, Bai Zheming was carrying a brown braided rope with a jade pendant hanging from it.
Song Lan released Jiang Mingxi's eyes, lifted her foot and walked towards Bai Zheming, her expression cold and filled with strong hostility. "Thank you, Teacher Bai."
He reached out to take the Bai Zheming's hand.
Bai Zheming dodged slightly, gripped the jade pendant tightly, and refused to give it to him, saying casually with a smile, "This belongs to Jiang Mingxi."
Song Lan went forward to take it, Jiang Mingxi originally didn't plan to follow.
He went in with Bai Zheming to do the mission, Song Lan was already unhappy. He wanted to appease her, so now that Song Lan went in alone, he wanted Song Lan to take his things back.
Bai Zheming refused to give it to him.
Jiang Mingxi quickly stepped forward, " Teacher Bai, Song Lan is my boyfriend, I asked him to get it for me."
Song Lan's expression turned cold as he reached out to ask for it again.
Bai Zheming slowly took a step back, not glancing at Song Lan, but looking only at Jiang Mingxi, "I heard from Zhao Jiayuan that you have a jade pendant that you've worn since you were a child?"
Jiang Mingxi nodded, put her hand around Song Lan's Song Lan, and gently stroked his back to comfort him.
Bai Zheming glanced at Jiang Mingxi's ingratiating gestures and frowned slightly.
For some inexplicable reason, he thought that if his younger brother were still alive, he would be about the same age, and if he dared to fawn over a man like that, he would break his legs!
Bai Zheming's gaze returned to Jiang Mingxi. Holding the jade pendant, he asked, "I have a question. You were adopted by that college couple when you were young, and later taken back by the Jiang Family. Didn't they touch your jade pendant?"
Bai Zheming has investigated.
The university couple abused Jiang Mingxi severely. During this time, Jiang Mingxi suffered not only physical harm but also significant psychological damage.
Hospital tests revealed that he experienced visual and auditory hallucinations.
He has mental health issues.
Later, the Jiang Family recognized Jiang Mingxi, and Jiang Ke and his son were arrested. Bai Zheming asked someone to inquire about what happened inside. He learned that the Jiang Family's motives for recognizing Jiang Mingxi back were impure, and they had the intention to exploit her.
Logically speaking, both families should be willing to touch Jiang Mingxi's jade pendant, no matter what.
Even if it's not damaged, I'd still deliberately throw it away.
Thinking about all this, Bai Zheming felt uneasy.
He didn't understand. If Song Lan really liked Jiang Mingxi, wouldn't Song Lan have been able to find out these things, just like he had?
If they find out, are they really going to let Jiang Mingxi coax him like this?
Doesn't he feel sorry for Jiang Mingxi?
Even though he hadn't had much contact with Jiang Mingxi and only had a slight liking for her, he felt sorry for Jiang Mingxi and couldn't help but want to protect her.
Suppressing his displeasure, Bai Zheming added, "Do they know about this jade pendant?"
Jiang Mingxi paused for a moment, glanced down at the jade pendant held in Bai Zheming's hand, and said truthfully, "Before I was adopted by the college couple, A-Wang told me that my adoptive parents might not like me always thinking about my own parents, so he said it would be better to keep the jade pendant for now."
"Let's wait and see what our adoptive parents think, and then decide whether or not to wear the jade pendant."
" A-Wang kept the jade pendant for me at the time."
Bai Zheming felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this.
I was so young then. Even before I arrived at my adoptive family, I already had to be careful to read their expressions and try to please them.
Is Jiang Mingxi's current attempt to please Song Lan a subconscious remnant of her long years as an orphan?
