I'm unbeatable at extracting skills from celebrities!

The skill of peeling crabs is unmatched in Jiangnan!

Just like that, I quietly watched the words above Wang Zuxian's head gradually fade away until they disappeared completely.

It's not that Jiangnan looks down on this skill because it's a bit strange, but rather that he wants to verify something.

The night before last, under the grape trellis in courtyard No. 13, Heizhima Hutong, Jiangnan asked Wang Fei, "When you pulled me out from under Yinding Bridge, what were you thinking?"

Wang Fei said…

Her first thought was, "Oh no, we can't play mahjong tonight, because we don't even know if the boy lying on the ground is dead or alive."

So, when Jiangnan woke up, the only skill she saw above her head was playing mahjong, and she hadn't won a single game in 47 consecutive days.

Next, Jiangnan asked Wang Fei, "Back then, when I volunteered at the Red Star Production Cooperative, what were you thinking when you saw me off from the Liufang Hotel?"

Wang Fei said…

She was thinking to herself, "This kid really has some musical talent. How can I buy the song 'Sky' from him?"

How about I show off my smoking skills in front of him? Show him that I can blow eight smoke rings. If he's interested, I'll suggest we switch.

"If I teach you how to blow smoke rings, you'll finish writing the song 'Sky' and sell it to me?"

With Wang Fei's "revelation," Jiang Nan probably understands why the skills obtained through cheat codes are so diverse.

  

It seems..., probably...

It can only exploit the skills that the original owner is thinking about. Just like Li Lianjie, whom we met yesterday, he must have been thinking about how to practice Tai Chi so that he could perform it more perfectly on camera.

As expected, just as Jiangnan finished her summary, Wang Zuxian, looking relaxed, waved to the proprietress.

"Aunt Sun, my brother said your crabs are the best. Do you still have any in the shop now?"

If you have any, please bring us a few. I'd like to invite my friends to try them.

"Yes, of course!"

Sun Fanqing, the noodle shop owner, smiled warmly. When Wang Zuxian asked for her order, she agreed and went to the kitchen.

My celebrity relative wants to eat crabs. Even if the store doesn't have them, I'll still make sure they do. I'll tell my husband to go out and buy some right now.

...

"Ah Xian, is this for real?"

Watching the proprietress's retreating figure as she headed to the kitchen, Li Jiaxin's eyes widened. The persistent Lin Jianyue had just left, but the trouble hadn't completely disappeared yet.

Wang Zuxian, Wang Zuxian's best friend, acted as if nothing had happened and actually sat in this noodle shop ordering crab?

"Of course it's true. I was already thinking about eating crabs when I came in from outside."

At this point, Wang Zuxian, who is particularly tall, took two steps over and sat down next to Jiang Nan.

"sorry!

I used you as a shield because Zhang Xueyou, Andy Lau, Li Ming, and Guo Fucheng had all invited me to star as the female lead in their music videos.

But I rejected them all for the same reason: I only want to be the female lead in my boyfriend's music videos.

So I told Mr. Lin, who had been pursuing me, that I starred in his music video, which meant that he was my boyfriend.

Wang Zuxian spoke very frankly, without any attempt to hide anything.

Upon hearing what the beautiful woman said, Qiu Likuan, who had been engrossed in eating noodles, suddenly looked up and stared at Jiangnan.

Although he didn't speak, the meaning in his eyes was very clear.

"She treated you like that, and you still tolerate it?"

"Jiangnan..."

"Um?"

"You and I are from the same village. On the very first day we met, you took a bullet for me. I'm sorry." To express her apology, the beautiful woman reached into her bag, pulled out a thick envelope, and pushed it towards Jiangnan.

Jiang Nan glanced at the envelope, but didn't reach for it. Instead, he smiled at Wang Zuxian and said, "You didn't do anything wrong to me, because what you said was the truth. You did indeed film my music video."

"I'm just a little curious, why can't you accept that Mr. Lin?"

In fact, Jiangnan already knew the answer to this question.

Wang Zuxian and Li Jiaxin are different!

Li Jiaxin wants to marry into a wealthy family, so she is willing to use any means necessary, even directly arguing with Liu's first wife, saying things like, "Why don't you just die?"

Wang Zuxian was born into a traditional family with loving parents and filial children. Given her personality, she would never become someone's mistress.

At the end of 1993, just two months later, Lin Jianyue publicly separated from his wife and filed for divorce, and Wang Zuxian finally accepted him.

Accepting him was just the beginning of the tragedy, because this rich kid had no sense of responsibility. When his mother gave him an ultimatum, he had to either live a quiet life with his wife or get out of the Lin family, and the Lin family's property would have nothing to do with him anymore.

This guy chickened out and obediently apologized to his wife.

And then... and then Wang Zuxian's tragedy struck; she became the target of everyone's scorn!

Since Jiangnan already knows the answer, why ask again?

This was all to prevent the curious Qiu Likuan from saying anything out of line in front of Wang Fei, like, "Look at me, I'm not her type at all. She likes rich men, but unfortunately, rich men are already married."

But that's just how reality is.

Wang Zuxian didn't explain according to Jiangnan's expectations at all. Instead, she glanced at Li Jiaxin sitting opposite her and started talking about her love life while drinking beer.

I still can't forget him!

I was only 18 years old that year, and I met him while filming the movie "Green Grass by the River".

My first impression of him was not good at all; he was dark-skinned, thin, and had big, wavy hair…”

...

Wang Zuxian is recounting her love story.

When she got emotional, tears welled up in her eyes, which made Qiu Likuan, who usually loves gossip, very happy.

Previously, rumors about the love between Wang Zuxian and Xiao Ge had circulated in the entertainment industry, but rumors are never as real as what the person in question said.

Therefore, when she hears something that contradicts the rumors, Chiu Li-kuan will stop her and ask questions in detail, just to verify the gossip in the industry.

But as she listened, she began to sense that something was amiss…

Listening to gossip is one thing.

Jiangnan actually got paper and pen from the landlady and started writing and drawing on the table.

Wow, awesome!

He even documented other people's relationships.

Just as Qiu Likuan was about to peek over to see what Jiangnan had written, her phone rang in her bag.

"Ding ding ding..."

"Excuse me, I need to take this call!"

In 1993, whether it was a mobile phone or a GSM phone, the screen displayed "INCOMING CALL," so you had no idea who was calling.

After smiling apologetically at everyone, Qiu Likuan stood up and pressed the answer button on her phone, but she had only said "hello" before handing the phone to Jiangnan.

"Your wife is looking for you!"

"ah…"

Li Jiaxin was surprised. Jiangnan, how old is he? How come he already has a wife?!

"Well…"

Wang Zuxian was a little confused.

When Chen Jiantian called her, he mentioned that Jiang Nan was just a student at the Central Academy of Drama, and that getting married was generally not allowed for university students in mainland China.

How did he end up with a wife?

"hehe…"

Jiangnan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Qiu Likuan was truly loyal to Wang Fei, not only keeping a close eye on her but also reminding her in front of other beautiful women, "There are married men in Jiangnan."

However, despite his wry smile, Jiangnan still took the phone, got up, and left the noodle shop.

You have to go outdoors to make a call, firstly because the signal is better, and secondly because it won't be heard by these people.

"Jiangnan, have you missed me?"

Wang Fei's voice was somewhat lingering.

"I've thought about it, but I don't dare to think about it too much."

"Why?" Wang Fei asked curiously over the phone.

"If I think about you for too long, I get stressed and then I have to go back to my hotel room and scratch the walls."

"Hahaha…"

Before he could finish speaking in the Jiangnan dialect, Wang Fei burst into laughter. Being an experienced person, she naturally understood the underlying meaning in his words.

"Alright, you big bad guy, I know you're thinking about me, that's enough. Now, your sister wants to talk to you on the phone."

My sister…

Before Jiangnan could even process what was happening, Zhou Tao's voice came through the phone.

"Jiangnan, what's wrong with you?"

He signed a contract to become a singer but didn't even call home to explain the situation; he dared to make the decision all by himself.

Do you know how worried Uncle Jiang and Aunt Duan were? When they heard you singing on the radio, they thought you had dropped out of the Central Academy of Drama.

Even if you don't call them, you should at least tell me. Remember, now that you're studying in Beijing, I'm your closest and dearest person.

No wonder he would become a host of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala; Zhou Tao speaks very fast, but every word is very clear.

Jiangnan knew that she was worried about the phone bill.

So, immediately after Zhou Tao finished speaking, Jiang Nan explained with a smile:

"Sister, I've already written to the family, but you know how slow letters are."

"You wrote a letter... well, you should have at least told me before you wrote it," Zhou Tao persisted.

Jiangnan had no answer to this.

The day after the album was recorded, he took his commemorative cassette tape to Zhou Tao's house to find her, but she wasn't there. So, Jiang Nan handed over all the gifts and the tape to her husband, Yao Ke.

Now, it's clear that the item hasn't reached Zhou Tao's hands yet.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Do you know you were wrong?" Zhou Tao's tone softened at this point.

"Yes, I was wrong!"

"It's good that you know you were wrong; you just need to correct it in the future."

I'm your older sister, the closest person to you in Beijing. You can talk to me about anything you're thinking or doing.

"Okay, I promise!"

Jiangnan had just said those words when the receiver went dead.

Zhou Tao hung up the phone.

Should we call her again and talk to her about the tape? It's possible Yao-ge forgot; we shouldn't let anything happen between you two.

Just then, the noodle shop door opened, and an excited Wang Zuxian held up a piece of paper, saying, "Jiangnan, is this song 'Saying Goodbye Is Hard' the one you wrote for me?"
