Chapter 82 Chen Duling's Embarrassment

I went back to the hotel and took a shower.

Jiang Yuan logged into her game account and discovered that Yang Chaoyue and Tian Xiwei were actually playing together.

Upon closer inspection, it wasn't really a team game; it was more like a custom game, seemingly a solo match.

Jiang Yuan took out her phone and glanced at the "Low Mountain Stinky Water Meets Soulmate" chat group.

[Li Yitong: I suddenly have a craving for chocolate. I just had some time off last night, so I went out and bought a matcha-flavored chocolate.]

[Li Yitong: [Photo]]

[Li Yitong: @Meng Ziyi, Sister Meng, you're a chocolate lover, right? Can you tell me what you think of this chocolate?]

Jiang Yuan checked the time and realized it was when he was on the plane that night.

Ice Cream Sister probably posted this during a break from filming at night.

Jiang Yuan felt that this chocolate looked somewhat familiar.

It seems to be the same kind of food that Mencius suggested feeding him.

Yes, Ice Cream Sister also tasted it from him —

I really want some chocolate, and the one I bought is matcha flavored.

"Little Pudding is zoomed in on her face."

Jiang Yuan clicked on the picture of the chocolate. The flavor seemed correct, but he wasn't sure if it was the right one.

Swipe your finger down on the screen.

Not long after, Jiang Yuan saw Mencius's reply.

Mencius commented: (。·ω·。)/♡

[Mencius commented: Sister Xue has such good taste. I just ate this chocolate today too; we're really on the same wavelength.]

[Mencius commented: It's delicious! The matcha flavor is rich, and the chocolate isn't too sweet. I was in a bad mood today, but eating this made me much happier.]

[Li Yitong: Why is it so bad? Tell me!]

[Mencius commented: I got stuck while filming, sigh—but I felt better afterward.]

[Li Yitong: Oh, I see. Take your time. Eating it has improved my mood.]

-

Jiang Yuan was on the go all day. When she arrived at the film set, she met everyone and then went to eat. She really didn't look at her phone much.

Jiang Yuan saw the group chat message, left the group chat, and checked her private chat.

He discovered that Meng Ziyi and Li Yitong had also sent him messages during that time period.

Mencius commented: ∑(°A°；)

[Mencius's Question: Why did Sister Xue mention matcha chocolate? How should I answer? What should I do? What should I do? Waiting online, urgent!]

[Mencius's comment: Uh, I forgot you should be on a plane right now. Remember to reply to my message before you go to sleep tonight, otherwise it'll be passive-aggressive behavior!]

Jiang Yuan glanced at the message sent by Sister Ice Cream again.

But unlike Sister Meng, who posted beforehand, Sister Xuegao posted afterward.

[Li Yitong: Sister Meng is definitely in a bad mood because you left.]

[Li Yitong: You scoundrel, you've committed countless evil deeds!]

[Li Yitong: If Sister Meng asks you, don't mention the chocolate. I knew she was in a bad mood, so I didn't message her to cheer her up.]

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment, then replied to Meng Ziyi and Li Yitong, and also replied to the messages from the others.

Then, glancing at Chaoyue and Xiaotian who were still in custom chat and hadn't left the room, I went back to the group chat to see what I had missed.

[Mengzi says: Well, actually I'm in a good mood right now. That scene was NG'd, and Sister Xue is done chatting. The director called me to go film.]

[Li Yitong: OK, my break time is almost up.]

The news of Mencius's proposal to make peace with Li Yitong has faded into obscurity.

Half an hour later, Tian Xiwei and Yang Chaoyue seemed to see the message and replied.

[Tian Xiwei: I finally finished my homework! Ugh, my mom, my middle school Chinese teacher, was so cruel! She actually went to my high school in July to collect my summer homework for me before the end of the semester, and she was just waiting for me when I got home.]

[Tian Xiwei: Sister Xue, Sister Meng, keep it up! (^ω)]

Not long after Tian Xiwei posted, Yang Chaoyue also posted.

-

[Yang Chaoyue: Keep it up, Xuejie and Mengjie!]

[Tian Xiwei: Add an emoji to Chaoyue, (^ω)]

[Yang Chaoyue: Is Xiaotian teaching me how to do things? No way!]

[Tian Xiwei: ?]

Yang Chaoyue: ?

[Tian Xiwei: (▼皿▼#), let's solo]

[Yang Chaoyue: Log in, and I'll call you Sister Yang.]

Yang Chaoyue: (0)

Jiang Yuan finished reading the last chat log and smiled speechlessly.

These two little girls must have so much free time on their hands!

A war broke out over a single meme.

Jiang Yuan became interested and turned on the spectator mode to watch the two girls' solo battle.

-

The loading screen appears.

Jiang Yuan discovers that Tian Xi is playing with a female police officer.

She really likes playing Caitlyn, and Jiang Yuan has rarely seen her play other heroes.

Maybe it's because we started playing this hero together with them?

Female police officers are actually quite good at solo play. They have long range, and skilled players can keep poking and suppressing opponents, making them suffer a stroke.

Jiang Yuan looked at the hero Yang Chaoyue had chosen and fell into deep thought.

Chaoyue didn't play Lux this time; instead, she played Malphite.

Once it loaded, Jiang Yuan saw the AP champion Chao Yue had built, with a level 5 Golem cowering under the tower.

The CD was ready, and then they started throwing Indian roti one by one, leaving the little policewoman in a dilemma.

After the Malphite's health was reduced to half, he reached level six and used his ultimate to kill the Caitlyn in the mid lane.

Jiang Yuan remained silent. Xiao Tian was clearly not the kind of skilled player who could suppress opponents.

The Stone Golem from Supermoon has a great advantage; it's easy to use and can slowly whittle down Xiaotian.

As Jiang Yuan was thinking, Yang Chaoyue and Tian Xiwei finished their custom game and, seeing that Jiang Yuan was online, quickly invited him into the room.

This wasn't the first time any of them had played games.

I used to play around with it occasionally when I was filming on set.

But after Yang Chaoyue and Tian Xiwei went back, they would often go online at night and wait for him.

We keep in touch regularly, and we're still quite familiar with each other; we don't feel like strangers.

As soon as Jiang Yuan entered, he heard Chao Yue's barely suppressed laughter: "Brother, have you eaten? Are you tired from the plane ride?"

Jiang Yuan finished filming and headed to Xiamen. Her itinerary was no secret in the group chat, and all the girls knew about it.

"It was alright, not too tiring. When I arrived at the film set, the crew had just finished work, and the director treated us to dinner, so I got to know the actors."

"Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan, how's the weather in Xiamen? I heard the main urban area is an island, so there will be sea breezes." Tian Xiwei, ever the curious child, chimed in.

"It's quite hot, and if you don't walk on the streets near the sea, you won't feel the sea breeze."

"I really want to take a walk on the streets near the sea."

Tian Xiwei recalled the evening before she left that day and felt a little nostalgic.

Yang Chaoyue didn't care about that and casually asked, "I checked Weibo, and the cast of 'Left Ear' seems to include several girls. Have you met them, brother?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiwei also perked up her ears.

"We had dinner together tonight," Jiang Yuan said.

"Is it pretty?" Yang Chaoyue couldn't help but ask.

"Beautiful."

Yang Chaoyue and Tian Xiwei felt a little jealous upon hearing this.

Then Jiang Yuan said, "But you are more beautiful."

In Jiang Yuan's opinion, Guan Xiaotong, who is the same age as Tian Xiwei, is not really interesting to the Left Ear crew.

When I saw her, the thought of whether she was pretty or not didn't come to mind.

Instead, Guan Xiaotong looks exactly the same as she did when she was a child.

As for Chen Duling and Ma Sichun, Jiang Yuan was not familiar with them, and naturally, they were not as important to him as Yang Chaoyue and Tian Xiwei, whom he was more familiar with.

Yang Chaoyue was overjoyed to hear what she wanted to hear, but she knew she couldn't bring it up any further, otherwise her brother would inevitably compare her to others and put them down.

She didn't really care what others thought; she was happy as long as her brother praised her.

Yang Chaoyue switched to the game: "Brother, I killed Xiaotian Qi. Her solo record against me is now 7:0."

Jiang Yuan asked in surprise, "Xiao Tian didn't win a single game?"

Tian Xiwei said dejectedly, "Chaoyue is too cunning. She doesn't come out to lane against me. She just keeps hitting me with her Q. I'm playing Caitlyn, so I can't take many Qs at all."

"1

"Who told you to keep playing as the policewoman?"

Yang Chaoyue said smugly, "Brother, you don't know, Xiaotian is really stubborn. I told her to switch to a different hero, and she agreed on the surface, but when we got to the loading screen, she still played Caitlyn."

"I don't know how to play anything else," Tian Xiwei retorted.

"So, Oda, you're my defeated opponent."

Yang Chaoyue laughed and said, "I can play a lot of heroes."

"Don't get cocky. Wait until I play a different hero next time and get my revenge," Tian Xiwei retorted defiantly.

Next, Jiang Yuan played games with the two girls for a while.

I listened to their chatter while playing games.

Let's talk about some things in life.

For example, with Chaoyue, you can tell her about the house, what she's been learning lately, and how her mother has started contacting her.

Xiao Tian then talked about how her younger sister, Xiao He, was doing; some female classmates came to her house to play, and school was about to start.

Jiang Yuan already knew, because they often typed and sent him photos and updates on WeChat, sharing their daily lives.

There are a lot of messages almost every day.

Jiang Yuan is sometimes busy and can't reply to messages, but they don't mind. They send him messages to amuse themselves, remaining steadfast in their devotion.

After finishing the game.

"Alright, go to sleep now."

Jiang Yuan bid farewell to the two girls.

"Well then, brother Xiaotian, I'm logging off now. Goodnight everyone," Yang Chaoyue said goodbye.

"Okay, goodnight Chaoyue, goodnight Jiangyuan," Tian Xiwei replied.

Yang Chaoyue and Tian Xiwei logged off the game.

Jiang Yuan was about to close the game as well.

I discovered that my online game friend was online.

[Aircraft Safety Required: Should We Shoot or Not?]

Jiang Yuan: No, I'm going to rest now.

Jiang Yuan declined, saying he was a bit tired today and would go to bed early. He added that he would have to film his scenes tomorrow if nothing unexpected happened.

Jiang Yuan himself never expected that he would join a production team so seamlessly, just like Li Yitong.

[The aircraft needs to be handled with care: Hmm, I'm just logging on to check it out, there's more to come tomorrow.]

Jiang Yuan was surprised. Had they already gone to act?

Jiang Yuan didn't press further and could only reply.

Jiang Yuan: Wishing you smooth sailing.

[Aircraft require meticulous attention: Mm-hmm.]

In another room, Chen Duling stretched her neck.

"Why didn't he ask me where I was filming or what kind of movie I was filming? Is he that sensitive about boundaries?"

Chen Duling muttered to herself, "Very good, I've learned something. Actors need to be mysterious."

She then turned off her laptop and lay back down on the bed.

Just before going to sleep, she suddenly opened her eyes: "Didn't he say he was going to tell me his name last time? I forgot to ask."

The next day.

Jiang Yuan was taken to the School of Finance and Economics of Jimei University early in the morning.

"Jimei University?"

Jiang Yuan was amazed by the school's name; there really was a school with that name?

Jimei University's School of Finance and Economics is the core campus filming location for the entire film, *The Left Ear*.

All the scenes in the drama, including the classrooms, teaching buildings, playground, school walls, and tree-lined paths of Tianyi Middle School, where the main characters studied, were filmed here.

-

Jiang Yuan plays Xu Yi, the top student and school heartthrob at Tianyi High School.

After Jiang Yuan changed into her sky-blue high school uniform and pondered for a moment, she quickly got into the zone.

His sunny, student-like demeanor instantly returned.

In the morning light, a handsome and clean-cut high school student, dressed in a neat school uniform, stands there, looking every bit the dazzling school heartthrob and academic star.

Everyone on the crew was stunned.

"Perfect, so perfect, he perfectly matches the Xu Yi in my mind."

Rao Xueman was thrilled; she even felt that he was more wonderful and superior than Xu Yi in her book.

Chen Duling glanced at him, then quickly looked away; it wasn't appropriate to keep staring at him.

"Brother Jiang, you're so handsome! If our school had a student like you, I'd probably go to school every day!"

Guan Xiaotong didn't have so many reservations and kept praising Jiang Yuan's handsomeness.

Ma Sichun stared at Jiang Yuan and agreed, "It feels just like the kind of handsome male protagonist I imagined in those youth campus novels I read when I was in school."

"It's alright, but you've been talking a lot more today."

Jiang Yuan is used to being praised, but Ma Sichun talked more today than yesterday. Could it be because yesterday was the first time meeting a stranger?

Ma Sichun thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I got into acting mode. Li Bala wouldn't be like me; she's much bolder."

Jiang Yuan nodded, agreeing that it made sense.

Ma Sichun wanted to play this role because she valued this aspect: she wanted to portray someone completely different from her own student days.

Jiang Yuan looked at Chen Duling and saw that the girl was standing straight with an expressionless face, glancing at him from time to time, which he happened to catch.

The girl immediately turned away like a startled deer, her calm face turning away quickly, and forced a composed expression as she said, "It's beautiful."

"Thank you, you too."

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, she sat down on the roadside bollard without any concern for her image.

This made Chen Duling cover her mouth and chuckle softly.

"Brother Jiang, if you keep doing this, I feel like when the movie is released, the audience will see that I harmed you and might tear me apart."

Ou Hao smiled bitterly, feeling completely numb. His physical condition was already far inferior to Jiang Ge's.

Now, dressed in a shabby, loose-fitting outfit that he thought was trendy, standing in front of Brother Jiang, his demeanor suddenly became indescribably different.

"You're alright, I really am wearing the same school uniform as Brother Jiang."

Hu Xiaren was even more exasperated. "I initially thought this school uniform was an anti-human design, and no student would like it, since it would lower their appearance. But when Brother Jiang stood next to me, I realized that the school uniform is actually quite high-end, and it was I who lowered its appearance —"

"Is it possible that it's not the school uniform that's high-class, but Brother Jiang who's high-class? Others rely on clothes to make a person, but Brother Jiang relies on clothes to make a person."

Having fully entered the Li Bala state, Ma Sichun became increasingly unrestrained.

Ma Sichun then pointed at Chen Duling: "Even in her school uniform, Xiao Erduo looks pitiful. You should have known long ago that it's not the uniform that's the problem, but you."

Hu Xia and Ou Hao were both withdrawn and stopped talking.

Ma Sichun looked at Jiang Yuan, seeking his approval.

Guan Xiaotong said enviously, "Isn't Dudu the school beauty queen? Wearing a school uniform is like getting perfect gear in a game, it suits her so well."

.

"I also heard from Teacher Rao and Director Su that Dudu was chosen to play the female lead because of a photo of her in a school uniform. That's great."

After Guan Xiaotong finished speaking, Chen Duling covered her face.

It's incredibly embarrassing to say this in front of others.

Even though it's not a dark history, she always seems so embarrassed that she doesn't want to be seen in public.

"Is that so? We had no idea."

Ou Hao and Hu Xia were surprised by the photos. "What photos? Can we see them?"

Chen Duling was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a crack to bury her head in.

Just as she was feeling awkward and at a loss for what to do...

"What a coincidence! I was also noticed by Teacher Rao because of a photo. We're fellow practitioners."

Jiang Yuan extended his hand, wanting to shake hands with his fellow Daoist.

What's so embarrassing about that?
