Chapter One Hundred and Eleven: Losing All Composure in His Lap!
Li Mengya drove Jiang Yun to the airport in her yellow Beetle.
Jiang Yun waved at her. “Bye-bye!”
“Bye-bye!”
He went into the airport, collected his boarding pass, and passed security. Then he boarded the plane to Hengdian.
By then, the video of Li Mengya and Jiang Yun singing a love duet had gone completely viral online.
Its popularity showed no sign of fading.
“Best wishes to Jiang Yun and Li Mengya. May they grow old together and have children early!”
“When will the audio version of Jiang Yun and Li Mengya’s duet be released?”
“I want the audio version!”
“That song is sweet enough to give you cavities!”
“That song dealt a critical hit to all the singles out there!”
“Huk-huk-huk!”
On the plane, Jiang Yun looked at the comments from netizens and laughed like a pig.
“Sir, please turn off your portable electronic device.”
“Okay.”
Jiang Yun switched off his phone, leaned back in his seat, and prepared to sleep.
A girl was seated beside him, and across the aisle she kept talking to another girl.
Wearing an eye mask, Jiang Yun frowned.
The two of them were speaking too loudly, and it was impossible for him to sleep.
“Gong Yan, do you think we’ll be able to see Jiang Yun when we get to Hengdian this time?” the girl beside Jiang Yun asked the other one.
Hearing them talk about him, Jiang Yun’s eyes lit up at once.
“Xiaoyi, later we can pretend to be crew members and sneak onto the set. Then we’ll definitely get to see Jiang Yun!”
Beneath his mask, Jiang Yun wore a strange expression. Hearing the two of them discuss ways to worm their way into the production, he became interested.
“You two can do it like this,” he said. “Just tell them you’re Jiang Yun’s girlfriends. That will get you into the set for sure.”
Gong Yan and the girl called Xiaoyi froze. They had been discussing how to sneak onto the set, so why had a boy suddenly appeared out of nowhere?
The girl named Xiaoyi reached out her right hand. “Hello, my name is Ding Yilian. Are you also planning to sneak onto the set to see Jiang Yun?”
Jiang Yun thought about it for a moment, then nodded. “That’s right. I’m indeed planning to sneak onto the set. Why don’t we figure it out together?”
Gong Yan’s face lit up with wild delight. To think that she would meet a like-minded friend on a plane.
“We just happen not to know how to get onto the set. Can you teach us?” she asked eagerly.
Jiang Yun rolled his eyes. The reason he was chatting with them was that the methods they were discussing were so thrilling they made him feel like a prison break or a heist was about to begin.
“Ahem.” Jiang Yun cleared his throat. “We can do it like this: first find an extra-acting troupe, then join them in the end. That way, we can get into the set.”
“Yay!”
Gong Yan clapped excitedly. The method Jiang Yun suggested felt like thievery, and it was wonderfully exhilarating.
The three of them soon huddled together, plotting and scheming about how to get into the production set.
Time passed quickly.
The plane landed in Wushang City, and Jiang Yun got off together with the two lovely girls.
The three of them walked out of the airport.
Jiang Yun spotted the production crew’s driver at a glance. “I’m afraid I can’t stay with you two. My friends are here to pick me up.”
“What? You’re not staying with us?” Gong Yan said with a long face. “Didn’t we agree to sneak in together?”
Jiang Yun said, “Next time. Next time I’ll act with you both.”
Gong Yan stared blankly. “There’s a next time for this kind of thing?”
Jiang Yun shrugged. “That depends on the mood.”
“All right then.”
“Good luck with your mission.” Jiang Yun waved and turned toward the Mercedes S500.
“Teacher Jiang Yun, how was the trip?”
Jiang Yun got into the S500. “Pretty good. Everything went smoothly.”
The driver took him to the hotel.
Back in his room, Jiang Yun opened the window first to air it out, then found hotel housekeeping and asked for a brand-new set of sheets and bedding.
He left the door wide open, and the window as well.
Seated at the desk, Jiang Yun opened his computer.
Whoosh.
A gust of wind swept through, making the white curtains billow.
The thirty-square-meter guest room was clean and neat, bright and spotless. It was a comforting sight.
Jiang Yun turned on his computer and, since things were not busy at the moment, began serializing today’s chapter of his novel.
A Perfect World had already reached the point where the Seven Gods descended, and Shizuo was lying in a feigned-death grave. The book had arrived at its first major high point.
“Little Stone is so tragic. What happens in the end? Will he come back to life?”
“Sometimes people are just like that. There are things one must do, and things one must not.”
“Waiting for Little Stone’s resurrection!”
“+1”
“+10086”
Jiang Yun read the comments one by one and replied to each of them.
Then he opened the Blue Sword website and began serializing Azure Cloud Slaying Immortals.
Azure Cloud Slaying Immortals had already reached one hundred fifty thousand words. The story had progressed to the point where the nine-tailed fox had fallen into the magma, and Zhang Xiaofan was lost in confusion.
Whoosh.
A user once known as Linghu Chong and Meng Xinghun, now Zhang Xiaofan, tipped him with ten rockets.
Whoosh.
Another user, formerly known as something else, tipped him with ten rockets.
Good heavens. Jiang Yun had barely opened the backend before he received ten waves of rocket tips.
One wave of rockets was worth one hundred thousand yuan; ten waves meant a million.
Jiang Yun became curious about this Linghu Chong. Just what kind of person was he?
He left Linghu Chong a message: “Brother, what exactly do you do for a living? Your tipping spree is making me feel very uneasy.”
Ding.
To his surprise, Linghu Chong replied instantly: “Take it with peace of mind. It’s all legitimate income.”
Jiang Yun was at a loss for words. Damn, this was a real tycoon.
Jiang Yun smiled helplessly. “Looks like I was too narrow-minded. If it were me, I’d never be able to tip a million without even blinking.”
He settled down and focused on writing. Just as he was concentrating, a woman’s voice suddenly rang out.
“Are you the one logged in permanently?”
“Holy—!” Jiang Yun was startled. He swung a punch backward without thinking.
When he saw who it was, he realized it was Wang Fengwan.
His fist had already been thrown; there was no time to pull it back.
“Damn it.”
Jiang Yun forcefully altered the strike at the last instant, his fist brushing past Wang Fengwan’s ear.
Because of the momentum, he lost his balance and fell straight to the floor while clutching her.
“Ah!”
Two cries of surprise rang out, and both of them hit the floor hard.
At that moment, Wang Fengwan was lying on the floor, Jiang Yun was holding her, and the two of them stared at each other wide-eyed.
A fragrance from Wang Fengwan drifted into his nose. Feeling that softness beneath him, Jiang Yun could not help but grow restless.
They looked at each other in silence, and for some reason Jiang Yun leaned in and kissed her.
Mmm—
“Ow!”
Jiang Yun sprang up from the floor. “What was that for? Why did you bite me?”
Wang Fengwan ignored him and quietly tidied her dress.
She looked up at him once, then left the room.
Only then did Jiang Yun calm down.
Smack.
He slapped himself across the face. “Why are you so useless?”
“A woman like that—is she really someone you can tame? She always gives off that feeling of being just out of reach.”
He sat there alone, brooding over his own frustration.
Sigh.
Jiang Yun sat before the computer and sighed again and again, utterly out of the mood to continue.
Ring ring ring.
He answered the phone. “Hello?”
“Jiang Yun, it’s already one o’clock. Why are you still not here to start work? Are you standing me up? I’m telling you, if you keep this up, you can pack your bags and get lost!” Liu Guoqiang’s angry voice burst from the phone.
The noise made Jiang Yun pull the phone away from his ear.
He hurriedly apologized. “Director Liu, I’m on my way! I’m really sorry for delaying your time!”
“Mhm.”
Beep... beep...
Sigh.
After hanging up, Jiang Yun let out a long sigh. “Today really is going from one bad thing to the next. Did I leave home without checking the almanac?”
