The world of film and television begins with Zhou Bingkun in the human world.

Zheng Juan's face was full of confusion. Clearly, the news Zhou Bingkun told her was too much for her to handle, and she couldn't accept it for a while.

Zheng Juan tried her best to calm herself down and then analyzed what Zhou Bingkun meant by those words.

It took Zheng Juan a while to process the news that Zhou Bingkun had brought.

"Thank you for telling me this news." Zheng Juan forced a stiff smile.

"It's alright, I just don't want you to jump into a fire pit." Zhou Bingkun waved his hand.

"A fire pit? Actually, it's not really a fire pit for me, after all—" Zheng Juan didn't finish her sentence, only revealing a bitter smile.

Zheng Juan has always been quite humble, and she is well aware of her family's situation.

She has an elderly mother and a blind younger brother, and she herself is unregistered; her circumstances couldn't be worse. She feels that given her situation, it would be a miracle if any man even married her.

As for whether Tu Zhiqiang liked men, Zheng Juan didn't care much. As long as she could get married and help her family in some way, she would be content.

After all, Zheng Juan was very naive at the time and didn't know what a woman would do after marrying a man.

Zhou Bingkun, who had originally planned to leave, stopped himself from leaving after hearing Zheng Juan's words.

"Zheng Juan, Tu Zhiqiang is a thug. He and his gang do nothing but loaf around all day. If any of his men take a fancy to you and try to do something to you, Tu Zhiqiang probably won't care," Zhou Bingkun had to advise again.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Juan's expression changed drastically.

"Thug"? This was a word that Zheng Juan greatly feared.

"Yes, Tu Zhiqiang has some people with him, and it seems like he's formed something like 'Nine Tigers and Thirteen Eagles.' If he gets caught, he might be executed. If you don't want to be a widow, you'd better not marry Tu Zhiqiang." Zhou Bingkun deliberately lowered his voice to Zheng Juan in order to prevent her from falling into a trap.

Zheng Juan's face turned pale; she was clearly frightened by Zhou Bingkun's words.

"Don't worry too much. When Tu Zhiqiang comes to your door, just refuse him directly. He wouldn't dare to actually abduct a woman. But he might use some tricks, like hiring a few thugs to ambush you, and then he'll jump out and pretend to beat them up, playing the hero. Just don't take it seriously," Zhou Bingkun advised.

The more Zhou Bingkun said this, the more frightened Zheng Juan became.

Being targeted by a thug is bad enough, but to have thugs ambush you and then play the hero is just terrifying.

Looking at Zheng Juan's pale face, Zhou Bingkun wisely shut his mouth.

After waiting for a while, Zheng Juan's face wasn't so pale anymore, so Zhou Bingkun said goodbye to Zheng Juan and turned to leave.

Zheng Juan watched Zhou Bingkun's departing figure, feeling grateful. She hesitated several times, unable to say anything, and could only watch Zhou Bingkun leave.

As Zhou Bingkun left, he felt a sense of relief.

He had done everything he could. As for what would happen to Zheng Juan in the end, that was beyond his control. After all, he was going to the countryside and couldn't marry Zheng Juan. All he could do was wish her happiness in the future.

However, in the end, Zhou Bingkun still felt a little regretful. After all, it was a real pity that he couldn't marry such a good woman as Zheng Juan.

It's just a pity, though, since Zhou Bingkun's knowledge of Zheng Juan only comes from TV dramas; he has only met her once in real life.

Forget about love or anything like that, the two of them weren't even acquaintances, so what other emotions could he feel besides regret?

Zhou Bingkun continued to wander outside until it began to get dark, at which point he finally went home.

"So you finally know how to come back? All you do is wander around outside all day. Can't you do anything productive?"

Zhou Bingkun had just returned home when Zhou Zhigang started pointing his finger at him and cursing.

"..." Zhou Bingkun lowered his head and let Zhou Zhigang scold him, after all, he couldn't very well scold back.

"Alright, alright, Bingkun must have something to do, let's not talk about it anymore. Bingkun, you too, always running around outside, stay home tomorrow, understand?" Li Suhua comforted Zhou Zhigang, then said to Zhou Bingkun.

"Okay," Zhou Bingkun replied in a muffled voice.

"Come and eat quickly." Li Suhua pulled Zhou Bingkun to sit down.

Compared to Zhou Zhigang, who scolded him as soon as he returned, and Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong, who watched Zhou Bingkun being scolded, Li Suhua treated Zhou Bingkun quite well. At least Li Suhua treated her three sons and daughters equally.

Unfortunately, although Li Suhua treated Zhou Bingkun very well, she was still a familiar stranger to him.

Even when facing Li Suhua like this, Zhou Bingkun felt increasingly awkward.

Coarse flour steamed buns and cabbage with very little oil.

Zhou Bingkun ate his dinner without any appetite, barely managing to fill his stomach before putting down his chopsticks.

"Bingkun, why are you eating so little today?" Li Suhua asked with concern.

"Hmph, running around all day doing nothing, what's the point of eating so much?" Zhou Zhigang snorted and scolded again.

"Bingkun must have eaten out," Zhou Bingyi said with a smile.

"You don't eat properly at home, but go out and eat random things. Why don't you sleep outside? What are you doing back here?" Zhou Zhigang seemed to find fault with Zhou Bingkun no matter what he said, and he would curse at Zhou Bingkun for whatever anyone else said.

Zhou Bingkun rolled his eyes inwardly as he went through the original owner's memories. Good heavens, Zhou Zhigang was just like that when Zhou Bingkun was at home.

Whenever Zhou Zhigang encountered any dissatisfaction in life, he would seize upon Zhou Bingkun and berate him, and sometimes he would even physically assault him.

On the contrary, Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong, and Zhou Zhigang, were very polite to them.

Zhou Rong, in particular, was pampered by Zhou Zhigang like a treasure. Whenever Zhou Rong wanted something, Zhou Zhigang would get it for her immediately.

However, on the other hand, Zhou Bingyi was a good student, eloquent, and could say things that seemed to have a noble purpose. He was always the "other people's child" that the neighbors talked about.

What about Zhou Rong? She's beautiful and academically excellent. Although she's a bit arrogant, she's the kind of good kid everyone admires.

It can be said that Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong are Zhou Zhigang's pride.

Zhou Bingkun, on the other hand, was of relatively ordinary appearance, honest and simple, had poor academic performance, and was stubborn and inflexible. Sometimes he would even clash with Zhou Zhigang over certain matters and would refuse to change his mind.

So anyone would probably be like Zhou Zhigang, favoring Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong.

However, while the logic is sound, no one would be willing to accept such a situation if it happened to them.
