Like a Old Man Talking About the Past (Part 2)

In regards to flying for the first time, to sum it up in three words: what the hell? Tian Jingzhi thought Monster Xue would suddenly grow a pair of big wings like a divine beast from a fantasy film, but the truth was that the so-called "flying" is just high jump. With this high jumping ability, he could partake in the Olympics to win glory for the country. 

She wasn’t all that thrilled with this type of "flying". Tian Jingzhi would rather go to the children's playground and jump on the trampoline instead. 

Of course, this is just Tian Jingzhi's after assessment. As for reality? Tian Jingzhi took a deep look at Xue Lingqiao and felt that she couldn't think about it anymore. How could she go rummaging through the garbage while crying? It was more humiliating every time she thought about it…

Xue Lingqiao wasn’t aware of the twists and turns in Tian Jingzhi's mind, nor did he care. He was not Feng Dongdong and did not need to cater to her every request or need... 

Uh, maybe not every request... Xue Lingqiao turned to look at Feng Dongdong, who was squatting in front of him, “Need something?”

Feng Dongdong hands cupped her face while smiling at Xue Lingqiao, “Cousin, if you want to buy a camera, I can recommend one.”

“I, Xue Lingqiao, am the one son, you can call me…”

“Then... Brother Qiao... Big brother Qiao!” Feng Dongdong was not deterred by Xue Lingqiao's indifference and continued to look at him innocently, “Whatever big brother Qiao needs, just say it directly. No need to be don't be polite, yeah!" 

Xue Lingqiao smiled at his new title. He patted the top of Feng Dongdong’s head like a child and said, “I will.” Feng Dongdong was stunned, he was unable to move. It was almost as if he had received an electric shock and couldn't stop smiling.

Are you in the middle of filming ‘Brokeback Mountain’ or ‘Happy Together’?

Tian Jingzhi kicked Feng Dongdong to the side and said, “I say, cousin, why haven't you been to the library these two days?” 

Xue Lingqiao continued to look at his screen, but nodded perfunctorily, “Hmm, not going anymore.”

“Why not? Aren't you a good boy, who loves to read?”

As the number one fan, Feng Dongdong, immediately got up and explained for him, “Of course big brother Qiao can't go anymore, because many fans are waiting for him in the library. And this was only due to those few photos. If my brother really entered the entertainment industry, he would definitely be more popular than Miss Tian!”

This was completely disregarding one’s own master. Tian Jingzhi was very upset and defended, “Assistant Feng, I’ve managed to win against one hundred competitors with my own strength and snagged the second female lead in "The Legendary House". My face is not my only strength.”

Feng Dongdong subconsciously blurted out the truth, “But from what I heard, it was because Miss Zhang Xuanxuan said that she would only be the female lead in this drama if you were the second female lead..." 

“Scram! Scram!” Tian Jingzhi picked up the pillow and hit him. 

“Brother! Big Brother Qiao, save me!”

It was then Xue Lingqiao's cell phone rang. He glanced at it, it was the person in charge of the auction company. He only answered the phone when he returned to his room, “You said the collector went abroad?...When will he come back?...Okay, I hope I can get that jade back as soon as possible...Thank you…” 

After hanging up the phone, Xue Lingqiao turned around and saw Tian Jingzhi sitting on the swivel chair looking at him with a strange look. Just as he was about to ask why she came in, Tian Jingzhi said with a serious face: “Don’t ask me to lend you any money, I’m completely broke.” Before he could reply, she covered her ears and ran out. 

Xue Lingqiao was stunned. Asking her for money? Why would he ask to borrow money from a pauper? 

Even if he wasn’t awake for the past hundred years, compared to her, he was a wealthy man. 

After sending away the unsightly Feng Dongrong, Tian Jingzhi went back to the room to call Zhang Xuanxuan. Zhang Xuanxuan was currently having dinner with her fiancé, Hong Shiguang. Tian Jingzhi knew that the engagement of the two was business related and they might not really get married and have children. However, she couldn't help but ask, “When will we go for a meal together, let me meet your so-called 'most holy man' of a fiance.” 

“He's not feeling well recently, but I told him to let him visit the next time we're filming.” 

Tian Jingzhi twirled her hair and replied, “Okay, I won’t wash my hair for three days before meeting him. We can use my unkempt face as foil for your beauty and elegance.” 

Zhang Xuanxuan sneered and took a jab at her, “I beg you to please dress up. Don’t forget you are a national goddess for all men. But I am a national goddess who can swoon men, women, and children alike. Your innocent face’s lethality is a bit dull when compared to mine.” 

Tian Jingzhi silently gave Zhang Xuanxuan ‘The Worst Best Friend Award.’
