Although she no longer trusted her mother, Lin Ling still hoped her mother could be gentler, give her a hug, offer a small comfort. But even this tiny wish, her mother was unwilling to fulfill.
Her mother only cared about the reason her classmates beat her, whether she had made mistakes in this incident, whether she was isolated by classmates because she wasn’t good enough.
She didn’t care at all about the girl who was almost beaten to death, how she was feeling, whether she was scared, or whether she was hurt.
Ling Lin bit her teeth hard, crying so much that she could barely catch her breath.
“Cut!”
Director Wang shouted, and the young girl playing Ling Lin immediately opened her mouth, gasping for air, still unable to come out of character, with tears flowing wildly.
The assistant quickly came over and wiped her face with a warm towel.
Jian Ning couldn’t help but praise: “Your acting is really good.”
The young girl blushed shyly: “Thank you, Sister Jian Ning. I still have many shortcomings and should learn from you.”
Jian Ning smiled: “You’re much better than me. Keep it up.”
“Are we done shooting?” Qiao Yu walked over, naturally holding Jian Ning’s hand, blinking his reddened eyes, “Hao Hao, you acted so well, I was moved to tears.”
Jian Ning quickly pinched his palm, signaling him not to speak recklessly.
Director Wang heard this and raised his eyebrows curiously: “Hao Hao?”
Qiao Yu was about to speak, but Jian Ning quickly interjected: “A nickname! This is what Qiao Yu calls me.”
Qiao Yu looked at Jian Ning shyly, blushing.
Everyone: “………”
After a moment of silence, Director Wang finally laughed, about to pat Qiao Yu’s shoulder, but Qiao Yu frowned and quickly dodged, looking warily at him.
No old man gets to touch him! Every hair on his body belongs to Brother Hao!
Director Wang: “………”
Jian Ning quickly smoothed things over: “Well, Director Wang, Qiao Yu has a bit of a cleanliness obsession and really hates being touched.”
Director Wang apologetically said to Qiao Yu: “Sorry, I momentarily forgot.”
