Chapter 30 A Young Girl's Thoughts
Ning Wantang ultimately decided to withdraw from the show.
She sent her desire to quit to the production company's account, but no matter how much she pleaded, begged, or even threatened to sabotage the show, they refused to help.
The other party didn't reply to a single word from beginning to end.
It was as if they didn't see it, or as if they didn't care.
Ning Wantang was at a loss in the face of this.
She, the "leading lady," couldn't even be contacted by the production company.
It's an absolute joke.
Ning Wantang's parents also noticed their daughter's increasingly depressed mental state.
After a heart-to-heart talk between the couple and their daughter, Ning Wantang's father made a declaration as the head of the family.
"Tangtang, you're a mature child now. Just do whatever you want to do. Mom and Dad will always support you unconditionally. Even if you want to quit, don't worry about things like breach of contract fees. Don't forget, Mom and Dad are your strongest support."
Her parents' words reassured Ning Wantang.
She was no longer so lost and confused, but began to seriously consider where she should go from here.
First and foremost, the simplest decision is to give up.
Just like my father said, I closed my eyes and left the show, cutting all ties with it.
In this way, whatever happens will be irrelevant to you.
Just as this thought fully formed in her mind, Ning Wantang seemed to suddenly see a timid boy hiding behind a corner, looking at her with teary eyes.
After he left, the production company arranged for another actor to take his place.
She doesn't have such moral constraints; she simply sees the show as a stepping stone to fame.
So the poor boy was easily fooled, and under the manipulation of the production team, he curled up in a corner, disheartened.
The culprit behind all of this was himself, who deserted in the face of battle.
This……
Can I really accept this?
Ning Wantang questioned her own heart.
Human beings have evolved wisdom that has given them a great deal of imagination, which, combined with the kindness and delicate emotions of a young girl, makes her even more imaginative.
She made her choice with ease.
I absolutely cannot leave. If I'm not there, who else will protect that poor boy?
But if they don't leave, should they just hurt the boy according to the production company's script?
No, that obviously won't work.
Her morals and conscience strongly opposed her doing such a thing.
Are we going to openly oppose the production company?
Just as Ms. Catherine said, this live stream was crucial to the boy's life.
The most important thing about live streaming is engaging content.
No audience would want to watch the same boring content day after day for years.
Therefore, openly opposing the production company would only cause the teenager to lose the value of even the live stream.
At this point, the roads were completely blocked.
Ning Wantang was completely caught in a dilemma.
With the start time of the program drawing ever closer, the situation remained hopeless.
Just then, a friend request notification sounded on her phone.
"Hello, may I ask who you are?"
Ning Wantang accepted the friend request and politely asked a question.
Like most of the time, they're probably just people who try to strike up a conversation or confess their feelings in various ways.
Ning Wantang thought to herself.
"Hello, my name is Shu Wenxue. Like you, I am also an actor in 'Chu Kong Show'."
……
And so, the friendship between the two girls began.
Shu Wenxue told Ning Wantang that she was still in training and would probably be in place when the show started.
Ning Wantang then introduced Shu Wenxue to the local customs and culture of Yulan and the general situation of Yulan Middle School.
Shu Wenxue always expresses her confusion and anxiety.
Ning Wantang, on the other hand, expressed her anxiety about the script in her hand.
For Ning Wantang, Shu Wenxue was almost another version of herself, sharing the same confusion and worries.
-----------------
The night before the live broadcast officially began, Ning Wantang barely slept a wink.
Her mind was churning with indescribable emotions.
The thought of meeting Chu Kong soon made her unconsciously start simulating everything that might happen.
How should I approach the other person?
But as she thought about it, she couldn't help but think of her script.
Then came even more severe anxiety.
After tossing and turning, she got out of bed, opened her phone, and typed a message.
"Xiaoxue, are you asleep? *(^o^)/*"
Shu Wenxue replied quickly: "Not yet. It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I can't sleep. I feel so much pressure thinking about tomorrow (っ╥╯﹏╰╥c)"
"Relax and just let things happen naturally. The cameras aren't always watching you."
"(✘_✘) How's your preparation going? Has the production company given you the script?"
"Not yet. It seems I just need to move around freely for now."
"I'm so envious! What are your plans? (★＞U＜★)"
"I plan to start by establishing a club, but I haven't thought about anything else yet."
I think your most important thing right now is to get some sleep. You don't want to have dark circles under your eyes on your first live stream, do you?
"Okay... let's rest then (。-ω-)zzz"
"Okay, goodnight."
After putting down her phone, Ning Wantang sighed and struggled to drift off to sleep.
-----------------
Ning Wantang found it hard to describe how she felt when she first met Chu Kong.
He was very tall and thin, and looked very frail.
She was nothing like the pitiful figure I had imagined.
He walked to the podium under the watchful eyes of all his classmates and introduced himself with feigned composure.
Then, he sat down next to me.
You could tell he was very nervous.
But Ning Wantang only felt more nervous; her heartbeat was so loud that she could hardly hear anything else.
Relax, Ning Wantang, relax, you can do it.
After mentally preparing herself, she began her first performance—a warm greeting.
Bend over, lower your head, and bury yourself behind the desk to create an atmosphere for private whispering.
She turned her face to Chu Kong, staring into his eyes, which was sincere enough.
Holding up a book in front of your face implies "only for you to see" and a feeling of shyness.
A warm smile, with eyes narrowed and teeth showing, is the most touching expression.
A wave of the hand, bathed in sunlight, imbues the movement with the warmth of youth.
Very good. Not only Chu Kong, but also all the surrounding eyes were on this place, giving this young man the feeling of being the center of attention.
Yes, everything is going perfectly as planned.
In this way, a good first impression is guaranteed.
It's not that difficult.
Thinking of this, Ning Wantang couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.
Wait a minute, what's with that expression?
Why does he look like he's about to throw up?!
Amidst their many unspoken thoughts, the girl and boy meet for the first time.
