The show’s camerawork and post-production were outstanding, capturing the moment when the sky began to lighten as a gentle rain fell. A girl with an umbrella ventured out into the rain and gradually disappeared into the mountains, her graceful silhouette full of ethereal charm, as beautiful as an oil painting.
Just as she left, someone came downstairs.
As everyone guessed, it was Qu Feitai.
Granny Zhu laughed and said, “What a good young man.”
“Of course, Brother Qu is handsome and talented, and has such a beautiful singing voice. How could anyone not like him?”
Seeing that Qu Feitai was following Ming Jing, the audience’s hearts raced as they anticipated a romantic encounter in the wild.
However, much to their disappointment, the camera work was terrible, and they could only see the distant silhouettes of the two. They couldn’t hear their conversation at all, and it left them itching to know more. From their silhouettes alone, the man appeared tall and strong, and the woman delicate. They seemed to be a perfect match, destined for each other.
In the end, the cameraman lost sight of them completely, leaving their conversation a mystery forevermore.
And so, this cameraman found himself atop the trending topics list, with Yan Xu feeling wronged. But the director insisted that he had to take the blame.
Yan Xu took the opportunity to post on Weibo, “Life is so hard for me”, attaching an extremely funny emoticon. Although the audience berated him for his incompetence, they also wanted to pry some inside information out of him, and bombarded him with questions about Ming Jing and Qu Feitai’s private issues in the comments.
Yan Xu knew what he could and couldn’t say, giving vague answers to their questions. But his simple and honest demeanor made him an overnight internet sensation, gaining many fans in the process.
“Haha, this cameraman is so much fun. Was he still half-asleep when he was filming? The camera kept shaking.” Zhou Bao laughed as she sprawled across the sofa.
The scene then changed to a little boy holding two fish, coming to look for Ming Jing. The boy’s innocent look and bright eyes made him lovable.
“Fairy sister, my grandpa caught two big yellowfish. I brought them here to thank you for helping me yesterday. Grandpa said that people as kind as you will surely be rewarded.”
The viewers’ attention turned to the boy’s words. How exactly had Ming Jing helped him? They hadn’t shown that in the program.
Seemingly anticipating what the audience was thinking, the director used a flashback effect to take them back to the previous day. From the weather and attire, it was when Ming Jing had just arrived in the village. Ming Jing was walking past an intersection when a little boy suddenly darted out and bumped into her. The boy’s dirty hands grabbed her skirt, leaving a filthy stain on the pristine fabric. It was like a crack on a fine porcelain piece, instantly infuriating to see.
The audience wanted to jump into the TV and scold the unruly child, but then the boy’s cautious expression melted their hearts. A woman’s shrill, overbearing voice berating the boy filled the air, causing aversion towards Ming Jing, as if she were fatigued by the scene.
It wasn’t deliberate on the child’s part, and Ming Jing, as an adult, shouldn’t have been petty in the first place. Moreover, wearing such a white skirt in a rural area was impractical.
Seeing an assistant indulge in bullying a child was unkind.
At that moment, everyone”s perception of Mingjing shattered.
However, in the next instant, Mingjing glanced towards the camera, her dark and deep eyes exhibiting a faint sense of oppression. At that moment, the audience before the screen simultaneously shivered, as though their souls were pierced.
The harsh voice abruptly ceased.
The girl smiled at the boy in front of her, “You didn’t do it on purpose, did you?”
As if terrified, the boy choked up, saying, “I didn’t mean to.”
She crouched down and gently wiped the tears from the boy’s face. Her gentle voice was like a comforting whisper in a dream, touching the heartstrings and making them submit to her ultimate tenderness.
“So why are you scared? Your sister won’t blame you because you didn’t do it on purpose.”
The spiteful voice earlier highlighted the young girl’s incredible empathy at that moment.
As the boy’s tears turned to laughter, the audience in front of their TVs laughed along.
This scene seamlessly connected to the previous one, with Xiao Hoo happily carrying two fish to find Ming Jing. Who wouldn’t love a girl so beautiful and kind-hearted?
The next moment, Mingjing opened an umbrella and walked out with Xiao Hoo hand in hand.
