Film and Television World Life Record

Zhu Chaoyang's mother works at the scenic area and can't come home every day, so she took them in. The three became friends as a result. Once, while hiking, they unexpectedly filmed Zhang Dongsheng committing a crime.

The suspect, Zhang Dongsheng, was also a pitiful person. As a college student in the late 1990s, a high-achieving student, he left his hometown for love and willingly spent eight years working as an unemployed training teacher at a children's palace. He was considered a good husband by his colleagues.

However, his family life was not happy. His wife looked down on him more and more, and his parents-in-law also felt that he had no future and hoped that they would get a divorce soon so as not to delay their daughter.

Zhang Dongsheng, seemingly reserved, is also a ruthless man. He gave up everything to get this marriage, and he treated his wife as his everything, carefully maintaining the relationship. Now, even this one thing is about to be lost, plunging him into despair. During a mountain hike with his wife's parents, he pushed them off a cliff, creating an accident.

What he thought was a flawless plan was unexpectedly captured on film by Zhu Chaoyang and a few other children who were on a picnic.

Strangely, the group didn't hand over the evidence to the police. Coincidentally, Pu Pu's younger brother, Xin Xin, needed money for medical treatment, but they couldn't raise the funds, so they turned their attention to Zhang Dongsheng.

They wanted to use evidence to pay for Xin Xin's medical treatment.

This made things increasingly complicated, leading to a series of tragedies.

This is roughly the plot of the drama.

Compared to the first time, he had gained a lot of experience. After watching the TV series, Li Mu began a busy preparation based on the information in it, memorizing a large amount of data and opportunities.

Although the two worlds are different, they always have similarities and will eventually be useful.

Finally, the time has come.

He lay on the bed, gently closed his eyes, and a flash of light appeared. Time and space shifted, and he found himself in a different world.

Chapter 41 Childhood Companions from Afar

A few noisy voices came from outside the window. Li Mu opened his eyes and found himself transformed into a young man, sitting upright on the sofa reading a book.

As a wave of memories washed over him, he suddenly realized that he had become Zhu Chaoyang, the protagonist of the TV series, a child under the age of fourteen, and the core of the entire series.

As the top student in his grade for many years, Zhu Chaoyang is exceptionally intelligent, but he is taciturn, unsociable, and has no friends.

His parents divorced early on, and he lived with his mother. His father had remarried and had a daughter, and was living a happy life, so he didn't care about his son.

While his mother was out working, Chaoyang always went about his business alone.

There is much debate about this character. Some say he is innocent, while others say that Zhu Chaoyang is the biggest boss in the show, having schemed against everyone.

He actually became Zhu Chaoyang.

This journey involved three missions, which were quite challenging.

First, prevent evil from happening.

Second, help Yan Liang and Pu Pu return to a normal life.

Third, guide Zhang Dongsheng back to the right path and back to his true self.

None of the tasks are easy. Preventing the evil from happening and helping Yan Liang and Pu Pu is relatively easy; guiding Zhang Dongsheng back to the right path and back to his true self is truly difficult.

If he were an adult, it would be fine, but unfortunately he's just a minor. He has neither physical strength nor financial resources; how can he possibly reform Zhang Dongsheng? Don't let his refined appearance fool you; he's a ruthless man!

As a math Olympiad teacher at a children's palace, I don't have a formal position, earn a meager salary, and am not well-liked by my parents-in-law.

Zhang Dongsheng, however, is a gentle and family-oriented man who excels at everything from grocery shopping and cooking to housework.

If he hadn't stayed at the children's palace as a teacher, but instead switched to another industry or started a business, with his intelligence, temperament, meticulous planning ability, resilience, and ruthlessness, he would definitely have achieved great success at the turn of the century.

Unfortunately, for the sake of so-called love, he was willing to be a stay-at-home husband. Although he managed his family very well, his career remained stagnant and made no progress.

As Xu Jing's career flourished, the gap in income and social status between the couple led to the beginning of the tragedy.

……

After receiving the memories, Li Mu sat on the sofa, pondering his next move.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Li Mu frowned. It was evening, and it was already dark. According to his memory, his mother, Zhou Chunhong, had just left home that morning to work at the scenic area and wouldn't be back for two days.

He didn't know anyone, and no classmates wanted to hang out with him. It was so late, who was knocking on the door?

Two figures suddenly flashed through his mind. Li Mu got off the sofa, put on his slippers, and went to open the door.

"Who is it?"

As he spoke, he opened the door and looked out through the old-fashioned iron-barred security door.

Outside the door stood a boy and a girl, their faces somewhat familiar, their clothes dirty, but their eyes were very bright. It was none other than Yan Liang and Pu Pu!

Before Li Mu could speak, Yan Liang said nervously, "Chaoyang, it's been a long time!"

"do you remember me?"

Li Mu looked the two of them over carefully again, and seeing the hope in their eyes, he said, "You are Yan Liang!"

As he spoke, he opened the security door.

Yan Liang was overjoyed to see that Li Mu recognized him and quickly introduced him to Pu Pu, who was standing next to him.

“Pu Pu, this is Zhu Chaoyang, my best friend when I was a child.”

Pu Pu looked pale and haggard. She had been suffering a lot lately because she hadn't been eating or sleeping well.

Upon seeing Li Mu, she smiled sweetly and called out, "Brother Chaoyang, my name is Pu Pu."

Seeing how young she was, and how well-behaved and sensible she was, Li Mu smiled and said, "Hello, Pu Pu."

He then invited the two into the house.

After everyone sat down, seeing that they obviously hadn't eaten dinner yet, Li Mu said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll heat up some food for you."

Without waiting for their reply, he got up and went into the kitchen. Since Zhou Chunhong was often away from home, she had prepared a lot of cooked food for him, which could be heated up and eaten immediately.

When Li Mu placed a plate of shrimp dumplings and a plate of shumai on the table, the aroma of the food made the two, who hadn't had a proper meal in a while, involuntarily swallow, but they politely refrained from touching their chopsticks.

Upon seeing this, Li Mu smiled and said, "Yan Liang, we were best friends when we were kids, and Pu Pu is my friend now too."

"Don't be shy, eat up!"

The two exchanged a glance and smiled. Li Mu's friendly attitude finally put their anxiety at ease.

Only then did he pick up his chopsticks and begin to eat with relish.

Li Mu went to the kitchen and made a cup of soy milk for each of them.

Pu Pu opened her big eyes and said very sensibly, "Thank you, Brother Chaoyang!"

Yan Liang also said, "Thank you, Chaoyang."

Li Mu smiled and said, "No need to be so polite, we're good friends."

Then, with a hint of doubt, he asked, "What are you doing...?"

Yan Liang was straightforward and outspoken. Seeing that Li Mu hadn't forgotten his friend and was being so nice, he didn't hide anything and immediately began to tell him the story.

……

After hearing Yan Liang's explanation, Li Mu looked surprised and asked, "So, you ran away from the orphanage?"

Pu Pu chimed in, "Brother Chaoyang, we didn't run away on purpose. My younger brother, Xin Xin, was adopted over a year ago. Recently, we received news that he has leukemia, and the family that adopted him doesn't have the money for treatment. I want to visit my brother and try to raise money for his treatment."

Li Mu feigned surprise: "Leukemia is difficult to treat and requires a large sum of money. How are you going to raise it?"

Pu Pu said with a hint of disappointment, "Yan Liang said he has an uncle in Ningzhou who was a good friend of his father back in the day, and that we can ask him for help with anything... We went to him to borrow money, but..."

His tone grew increasingly somber, and the outcome was obvious.

Li Mu understood this. A friend's child who had run away from an orphanage asked to borrow 300,000 yuan to treat the younger brother of a friend he met in the orphanage, promising to pay it back later.

Are you going to lend it to me or not?

If I remember correctly, it was 06, and "Princess Pearl" was still being rebroadcast from time to time. Three hundred thousand yuan is enough for an apartment in a second-tier city in China. Let alone a minor, even an adult would find it extremely difficult to borrow that much money.

It's almost impossible for two orphans to borrow money to treat Pu Pu's younger brother Xin Xin's illness. Only children would be so naive as to think that someone would lend them money.

What are your plans for the future?

The two were stunned for a moment. After thinking for a long time, Yan Liang said, "We want to work to earn money to treat Xin Xin's illness."

Li Mu said, "You are all underage and are child laborers. No one will hire you. Especially Pu Pu, who is obviously underage, so no one will hire her either."

Yan Liang stubbornly replied, "I can do it. I'm tall, and I heard that you don't need an ID card to unload goods at the dock. I'll go to the dock and help people unload goods."

Li Mu shook his head: "The docks are chaotic, it's not an easy place to get by. You should focus on your studies now, that's how you'll have a future."

Yan Liang said dejectedly, "What about Xin Xin? His illness can't wait. It will be too late once he finishes school. We can't just stand by and watch Xin Xin suffer!"

Li Mu thought for a moment and then revealed another cruel reality: "If you work at the docks, it would take many years to save up 300,000 yuan, and by then it would be too late!"

Upon hearing Li Mu's words, their eyes dimmed and their expressions grew increasingly dejected.

Li Mu sighed slightly, thought for a moment, and suggested, "Actually, the best way is to contact charitable organizations and ask them to help raise money. It's much more convenient than you working to earn money."

Their eyes lit up.

Pu Pu asked hopefully, "Brother Chaoyang, how can we contact a charity to help Xin Xin raise money?"

Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "I'm not very familiar with these things either, let's think of a solution together!"

Things took a turn for the better, and Pu Pu's expression improved considerably. She nodded emphatically.

"Thank you, Brother Chaoyang."

……

After chatting for a while, the two finished their meal, and Pu Pu diligently went to wash the dishes. Li Mu didn't stop her; being too polite wouldn't be appropriate.
