Section 3

It started off a bit, he nodded, now it is much better

Twenty years have passed

At the airport

Upon first meeting, I listened intently, casually placing the miniature dice into the small compartment meant for feathers.

That is indeed the case; my parents have never been to a nail salon, so it would certainly go unnoticed in the store

As it is a business for girls, the inventory room is covered with soft long-haired carpets, and one must take off their shoes to enter for stocktaking. She stands barefoot behind the shelves, inspecting the nail art stickers in dozens of small compartments.

So this is the main topic

Emotions are indeed quite fickle... Who knows, one day Jian Bianlin might quietly become involved in a scandal, perhaps with a female celebrity, an assistant, a manager, or even a cross-border romance

The lens flashed by

Upon first seeing her, I barely regained my composure and looked at Tong Fei, "Isn't the Furuibai not good? I specifically bought it for you."

The host seems to think that the interview with him is quite good, expressing everything directly

It is not that I have never been soft-hearted

She held a pocket-sized die in her hand, looked up, and saw the edge-checking forest on the screen

He sat on the sofa, leaning slightly forward, listening attentively as the host asked what his name meant and whether it was a stage name, which made it sound so awkward and strange

Upon first hearing that murmured phrase, my heart felt empty, and I was completely deflated by his decisive interruption

His nasal tone while speaking is still very pronounced, seemingly even more so.

Speak a heartfelt truth

Two people were complaining about coffee, and as the conversation meandered, it eventually circled around to the prominent idol and major capitalist, Jian Bianlin, with whom they were about to collaborate. For many years, Tong Fei could not understand why, despite being so familiar with such a notable figure, they had never ended up as a couple.

The screen quickly switched to the interview program

Jian Bianlin wore nothing to conceal himself, walking into the corridor with a completely expressionless face. Next to him, another idol in the spotlight walked alongside, appearing even more like a star. With the brim of his hat turned backward and wearing black sunglasses, he walked while smiling and greeting the fans beside him.

Jian Bianlin has not done anything out of the ordinary over the years. He was too impulsive this morning. As an adult, it is better to remain unaware of certain matters; speaking about them only leads to awkwardness and will not yield any results

What exactly are you thinking? What was it about him that you disliked from the beginning?

The person I like... he completely blurted out the first few words

The young ladies in our company have been drinking these past two days

In the district-wide sports examination, she returned with a time of over two minutes and thirty seconds, ranking first in her group. However, she exerted herself too much and collapsed at the finish line, her hands and feet going numb. It was also he who carried her away in front of the other examinees in the district. At that moment, she thought she was going to die, and she cried in fear. She remembers all of this.

Winter and summer vacations, New Oriental, remedial classes, and enrollment for the high school entrance examination are all together

She nodded slightly: "Oh"

The little girl accompanying Chujian seemed to be looking for some special program, fiddling with the remote control for quite a while. "Jianbianlin!" The little girl finally found what she wanted to watch and exclaimed excitedly, which startled Chujian.

At the time of the result, when I was sitting under the green umbrella outside the Starbucks downstairs from my nail training company, holding a bag of dolls and drinking iced lemon tea, I hadn't quite figured out what the outcome of the morning's conversation was. How did we transition from a serious topic to discussing the childish question of where to hide the dolls so that our parents wouldn't find them

"What misunderstanding?" Jian Bianlin looked at her with a bland expression

However, she thought carefully for a moment

At that time, they were called into the small office by the teacher, who asked whether they were indeed in a romantic relationship. He paused for a long time... Finally, he shook his head and said no. It was clearly a freezing winter, yet she was so anxious that she broke into a sweat, terrified that her parents would be called in.

It is only at such moments that one can truly feel upon first meeting that he is an artist

It feels as though whenever I spend time with him, I easily revert to the thought patterns of my junior and senior high school years

After listening to the question, he candidly replied: "When I was born, my father's wish was very simple; he hoped that his son could quietly guard this country in the future, so he wanted me to be the most ordinary border forest tree. The meaning of 'border forest' is just that."

At this moment, the person on the small television screen became serious, their eyes fixed on the distant floor: "I hope she..."

Yes, it is this kind of feeling

The host smiled and said: "Your father's wishes differ greatly from your current profession. Is he disappointed?"

By the way, prepare for the opening of this store tomorrow and assist with the inventory.

This sense of tension is all too familiar

In this world, apart from his father and her own parents, she is the person who least wants to see him unhappy... She can support him unconditionally during his most difficult times, but some things...

The sudden sound of drilling was deafening

From the time she was a child, carrying her backpack and following closely behind him, to when she grew a bit older and sat on the back of his bicycle to go to elementary school, she did not understand at that time how he had removed the rear rack of the mountain bike, which forced her to hunch down every day while sitting in front.

Unexpectedly, in the end, he rarely bowed his head and smiled in front of the camera, gently shook his head, and no longer answered the question

Then, stop

At first, I avoided his gaze, looking down at the bag in my right hand, sincerely explaining: "My mother was present when this was signed for, and she even guessed it was from someone who likes me. I didn't explain it. If I don't throw it away, I'm afraid she will find it and show it to you. Once you say it was from you, she will definitely misunderstand."

She usually avoids this topic and rarely speaks about it, but today her emotions were quite fluctuating, so she explained a few things: "How should I put it? Let me give you an example. If you have a boyfriend and you do some, um, intimate things together, isn't that quite normal?"

A pause once again

"Not tasty, not sweet, and lacks coffee flavor," Tong Fei said with a look of being deceived.

These tasks are not very important; the main thing is to provide spiritual support to Tong Fei in her entrepreneurial endeavors

At first glance, I saw a woman across from me with a face full of worry and a strong sense of curiosity.

Even the host was left in suspense by him

Nonsense

Even slightly intimate actions do not feel sweet, only particularly awkward... It is impossible to even think about it, let alone have any real feelings... Therefore, she still believes that the relationship between the two is more suitable for familial love rather than romantic love

He frowned and retorted amidst the noisy and irritating clamor, "Are you afraid your mother might misunderstand and take it to the nail salon?"

The initial meeting is to provide guidance on how to supply and distribute goods, how to arrange for the nail technicians coming from Japan, as well as the instructors for eyeliner and eyebrow tattooing coming from South Korea, among other miscellaneous matters

A few days later, the branch office in Beijing will be inaugurated. The major shareholder of the branch is Tong Fei, which can be considered as Tong Fei's second industry, ensuring that she will not go hungry in the future

It is indeed the right time

A small television is hanging on the wall, turned on, playing programs at random

Misunderstanding... you and me

Married on a whim

But I have imagined what it would be like to be with him... just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable all over

Thus, a critical question was immediately posed: "Many of your fans want to know your attitude towards relationships. Look, you are so popular, yet you have no scandals, rarely take on romantic films, do not act in television dramas, and have very few scenes with female co-stars. It is only natural for everyone to be curious about this." The host smiled, "Do you have any special criteria for choosing a partner?"
