Huayu started from the Three Kingdoms period

About half an hour later.

Xu Ying had also read most of Eileen Chang's "The Book of Regret" and finished reading Lust, Caution.

"Lust" refers to physical appearance and desire, while "precaution" refers to a diamond ring and precaution.

The original work is a classic, and the film adaptation is even more so.

After finding the uncut version online, Xu Ying watched it repeatedly, trying to understand it.

After watching it repeatedly, one question kept lingering in his mind: whether it actually went in or not.

Half an hour later, the doorbell rang.

Jing Tian's voice came through. She saw that Xu Ying was reading Eileen Chang's "The Book of Regret" in his hand, specifically the version of "Lust, Caution".

Thinking of the much-discussed movie version, her cheeks flushed slightly.

After the movie came out, she and Chai Biyun watched it under the covers. They were quite embarrassed and discussed it a lot. Is it really possible for an actress to dedicate herself to art like that?

Jing Tian felt that she couldn't do it, nor dared to.

She called softly, "Senior brother, dinner is ready."

Xu Ying looked back.

Jing Tian changed into a light pink loungewear outfit. Her hair was slightly damp and casually pinned up at the back of her head. Her oval face was fair with a rosy glow.

Yes, she even wore light makeup.

This was the first time Xu Ying had seen Jing Tian like this; she was gentle and intellectual.

He exclaimed, "Junior sister is so beautiful."

"Hehe." Jing Tian said calmly, "Yunyun is all ready."

The two arrived at the dining table, where Jing Tian's favorite spicy hot pot was served again.

Today is New Year's Eve, and Xu Yinghao has bought all the side dishes.

Well, another portion of my salary has arrived, so money's no object.

Beef tripe, duck intestines, beef aorta, duck blood, pig brain, kidney slices, lamb rolls, fatty beef...

Chinese cabbage, spinach, pea sprouts, lettuce, potatoes, lotus root, carrots, white radishes...

Abundant and comprehensive.

Seeing all the dishes she loved on the table, Jing Tian's eyes crinkled with joy.

"This is what Tian Tian brought back from abroad last time. It's already fully thawed~" Chai Biyun shook the wine jug in her hand.

Xu Ying and Jing Tian both cast approving glances at Chai Biyun.

"Tian Tian, ​​can your senior brother drink alcohol?"

Jing Tian blinked her big eyes and secretly glanced at Xu Ying, "Is it okay?"

"Sure," Xu Ying said, looking every bit the gentleman.

"Let's eat!"

"Here, senior, thank you."

Wishing my junior sister all the best and happiness every day!

Jing Tian exclaimed loudly, "I hope all three of us can become incredibly famous!"

Chai Biyun shouted, "Cheers!"

Jing Tian took a small sip of red wine; she wasn't a big drinker.

But it's New Year's Eve today, so having a little drink is fine.

Xu Ying took a big gulp without hesitation.

The three of them began a delicious dinner.

After dinner, I found Hunan TV and prepared to watch the New Year's Eve gala.

The hosts, Teacher He, Wang Han, Xie Na, Li Weijia, and Cao Ying, took turns on stage.

Seeing this familiar lineup, Xu Yingcai suddenly remembered, "Isn't this the most chaotic New Year's Eve gala in Hunan TV's history?"

When He Jiong started singing "Come Home Often" before the final performance, he realized it was that chaotic New Year's Eve gala.

Hosts He Jiong, Wang Han, Xie Na, Cao Ying, and others had to step in to save the day, getting the audience to sing along, inviting guests back for blessings, and using interactive elements to prolong the time, causing the visuals and flow to become chaotic at one point.

Then came the lukewarm audience response, few guest appearances, the camera having to focus on the audience for extended periods, the host running around the stage, and a breakdown in coordination between the cameraman and the director.

Chen Chusheng, who was originally scheduled to be the final performer, went missing after rehearsals and did not perform three songs as planned, nor did he join Li Yuchun as the final performer, leaving a gap of about 23 minutes.

The main reason was that Chen Chusheng had a long-standing conflict with Tianyu Media. After the rehearsal, he left a note and flew directly back to Beijing.

"It's so chaotic!"

"This is so awkward! It's the grand finale!" Jing Tian said, dissatisfied.

"Never mind, Happy New Year, senior!"

Happy New Year, Junior Sister!

Chai Biyun said dejectedly, "Why was Hunan TV's New Year's Eve show so bad this year? Oh my god, poor Teacher He."

"Wasn't Chen Chusheng supposed to be the finale? Why didn't she come?"

"I don't know, let me check online."

Jing Tian found a computer, ready to browse Tianya Forum and Baidu Tieba.

This discovery caused quite a stir online, with the internet erupting in arguments.

Jing Tian first went to Chen Chusheng's Baidu Tieba forum.

The forum is already flooded with posts about it; just click on any one of them.

"Tianyu Media has pushed people to this level! Being the New Year's Eve finale is an honor? It's a shackle! 30 commercial performances in three months, non-stop work without even allowing rest when sick, and they even use their ex-girlfriend for publicity—is that something a human being would do?"

"Can't you have any shame? You took the resources and ran away, acted like a big shot and ruined the live stream. How can you face all the viewers in the audience? What about your sense of contract?"

"Both sides have problems, right? It's true that Tianyu is exploiting people, and it's also unfair of Chen Chusheng to quit at the last minute. It's tough on Teacher He."

"If your privacy was violated and you were treated like a cash cow, wouldn't you run away? Whoever signs such unfair contracts is doomed!"

Meanwhile, the Tianya entertainment section was completely flooded with various revelations and counter-revelations, and people tearing each other apart.

Jing Tian and Chai Biyun were incredibly excited; this freshly picked melon was just too tempting.

"A deep dive into Chen Chusheng's New Year's Eve disappearance! Capital exploitation vs. artist betrayal: a Rashomon-like tale in the entertainment industry!"

"The inside story is out! During rehearsals, a senior executive from EE-Media berated Chen Chusheng for being 'ungrateful,' saying he wouldn't cooperate with the segment where he would appear on stage with his ex-girlfriend, causing the negotiations to fall apart!"

"Additional information! Huayi Brothers had already contacted Chen Chusheng. His disappearance during the New Year's Eve celebrations was a ploy to force him to terminate his contract; Hunan TV was used as a pawn!"

"From a legal perspective, Chen Chusheng's breach of contract is a foregone conclusion, but Tianyu's unfair contract is not protected by law."

"Chen Chusheng is so arrogant! Does he really think he's a top star? Without Hunan TV, who would know you! Now look what's happened, your career is ruined, are you happy now?"

……

Jing Tian was already slightly tipsy, and her face turned bright red with excitement because of this big melon-shaped face, like a ripe apple.

Chai Biyun sighed, "They were so glamorous when they debuted as contestants of Super Boy, and now look what happened."

Jing Tian chimed in, "That's right, but even if Chen Chusheng isn't here today, Li Chusheng or Wang Chusheng might be."

"This news should be completely out in the air by tomorrow morning. I'm going to take a shower now. You and your senior can chat for a while."

After saying that, Chai Biyun secretly winked at Jing Tian.

Jing Tian spat lightly, "Go quickly, go quickly."

Seeing this, Xu Ying looked puzzled.

It's just the two of them now.

For some reason, even though he usually has a high alcohol tolerance, he got a little tipsy.

Xu Ying glanced at Jing Tian, ​​whose face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, "Junior Sister..."

"Senior...Senior brother, do you...want an orange?" Jing Tian glanced at Xu Ying's expression and suddenly stammered.

Oh dear, I'm so shy.

Jing Tian picked up an orange somewhat guiltily and peeled it absentmindedly.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this. Is this the power of true love?

"Senior brother, here..."

Jing Tian gently placed the peeled orange into Xu Ying's hand.

Xu Ying just happened to feel a slight chill on Jing Tian's fingertips.

It feels icy cold and very soft...

Jing Tian felt the heat of Xu Ying's palm and pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted.

My senior's hands... were hot and burning...
