Dreams Were Not High nor Low, But There Was a Certain Level of Writing.
When Meng Yaxin said that, the entire table fell silent. Zheng Baozhu’s lips twitched slightly as a fake smile appeared on her face. “Hahaha, Meng Yaxin drank too much. Don’t listen to her nonsense.”
Meng Yaxin glared at her and denied, “I didn’t drink too much. I can still drink!”
“……” Zheng Baozhu picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into Meng Yaxin’s mouth.
Meng Yaxin whimpered and found that the meat in her mouth was quite delicious, so she picked up her chopsticks and picked up another piece.
“Hur hur, everyone eats,” Zheng Baozhu laughed dryly as she invited everyone to eat in an attempt to get past the film studio comment. Unfortunately, Qi Sheng did not understand her intention and asked excitedly, “Miss Baozhu, you went to the film studio complex? Are you…going to invest?”
Zheng Baozhu felt that this excuse was a good one. Just as she was about to accept it, Meng Yaxin mumbled, “No, she’s going to be an actress.”
Zheng Baozhu, “……”
Qi Sheng widened his eyes in surprise. “You want to be an actress?”
“I don’t ……”
“I think you’re quite suitable!” Qi Sheng did not even give her a chance to deny it. He was so excited that he felt like he was going to become an actress. “You’re so beautiful. No less so than those female celebrities on TV! Am I right?”
Zheng Baozhu, “……”
She wanted to throw Qi Sheng and Meng Yaxin out together. 🙂
Qu Zhi looked at Zheng Bao Zhu with a faint smile and responded, “Speaking of, Zheng Bao Zhu’s childhood dream was to be a female celebrity.”
“Was it? I support you, Miss Baozhu!” Qi Sheng had already thrown his support behind Zheng Baozhu.
Zheng Baozhu was silent for a moment. She raised her hand and patted Qi Sheng’s shoulder, gesturing for him to step back. Then she grabbed a handful of peanuts with shells from the plate and looked at Qu Zhi with a sinister smile. “Qu Zhi, I’m no longer a third grader. If you still dare tell my mother about it, I’ll die with you.”
As she spoke, she clenched her hands which were filled with peanuts a few times. When her hands loosened slightly, the peanut shells rained down on the table.
It was as if she were turning his bones into ashes.
Qi Sheng, “……”
Qu Zhi, “……”
Qu Zhi pondered for a moment before looking at Zheng Baozhu’s hand and asking, “Don’t your hands hurt?”
“……” It had indeed hurt, but that was not the point. Zheng Baozhu did not even frown as she raised her chin with her full aura. “Do you know what to do now?”
Qu Zhi, “……”
Perhaps Zheng Baozhu was really suited to be an actor. He was quite satisfied with the show.
Seeing that the meal was about to turn cold, Cen Tongtong and Qi Sheng of Team Atmosphere jumped into action. They saved the scene and allowed the banquet to continue.
After that, no one mentioned it again. It was already dark after dinner, and Zheng Baozhu saw that Meng Yaxin was so drunk that she could not even walk straight. Zheng Baozhu decided to reserve a room in the hotel for Meng Yaxin. Cen Tongtong and Qi Sheng walked out together and called for a car to return to the city. This could be called helping each other out. Qu Zhi watched their car leave, turned around, and returned to the hotel. While he was waiting for the elevator, he happened to meet Zheng Baozhu on her way upstairs.
When Zheng Baozhu saw him, she clicked her tongue and walked up with her arms crossed. After the elevator door opened, the two of them stood on opposite sides, as if there was a “38th parallel” drawn on a desk in elementary school.
It was very quiet in the sealed space. Neither wanted to pay any attention to the other. After the door opened, Zheng Baozhu could not help but remind Qu Zhi, “Remember, don’t talk nonsense in front of my mother.”
Qu Zhi snorted and turned his head to look at her. “If I don’t say anything, you can hide it from your family for the rest of your life?”
Zheng Baozhu said, “I don’t plan to hide it from them for the rest of my life. When I become famous, it will be useless for them to object.”
Qu Zhi replied offhandedly, “Just like those scum who want to cook raw rice.”
Zheng Baozhu, “……”
“I remember that when you were in third year of high school, you wanted to apply for the film academy. You angered your grandmother so severely that you almost put her in the hospital, right?” He looked straight at her. “Now that your grandmother is older, you’re not afraid anymore.”
“Don’t mention this to me.” The corners of Zheng Baozhu’s mouth twitched. Back then, she had originally planned to secretly apply for the exam. In the end, she did not manage to prevent the head teacher from communicating with her parents. This time, the entire family exploded. “It was only after I arrived at the hospital that I found out where my auntie’s superb acting came from. It’s all inherited from my grandmother.”
“……” Qu Zhi considered her words and asked, “Was your grandmother pretending?”
Zheng Baozhu clicked her tongue. “Our family’s veteran actress.”
Qu Zhi, “……
“Since you’re pretending, why didn’t you try signing up later?”
Zheng Baozhu said, “To prevent me from signing up, they came up with such a move. If I really did sign up, who knows what else would have happened?”
In the past, she had chosen to compromise for the sake of family harmony. Now that she was independent, however, it was much easier to hide it from her family.
It was crucial that Qu Zhi not inform her family.
As this thought crossed her mind, she looked at Qu Zhi once more. He seemed to know what she was going to say, and interjected before she could start, “I’m not that boring, just don’t reveal anything yourself.”
Zheng Baozhu looked at him in surprise. “You’re not going to put up more of a fight?”
“I’m not a third grader anymore, and I don’t want to die with you.” As he spoke, he looked at Zheng Baozhu and snorted. “But I am surprised you have persisted in pursuit of your dream.”
Zheng Baozhu raised her head slightly, unconvinced. “What, because your dream got an A+ and my dream got a B-, you’re the only one allowed to persist? One dream is no higher nor lower than another!”
