Chapter 35 The Market
Chapter 35 The Market
"A grand escape into the sunlight?"
Upon hearing Xu Anqu's name, a hint of amazement flashed in Bai Ge's eyes.
Although it's only eight characters, the vivid imagery it evokes is something anyone can feel.
What's even more remarkable is that it perfectly matches their recent experience. Bai Ge also turned his head and looked at the bright sunshine in front of him.
This fairytale-like dreaminess made her, who was already an art major, instantly fall in love with the phrase.
Bai Ge's performance was actually quite good compared to the viewers in the live stream.
Wow, that's such a beautiful line! It feels like a princess who's been controlled from childhood is rescued by a knight!
[Oh no, who can withstand this? How could An Gou just throw out such a bombshell like that?!]
[Waaaaah, I'm so envious of Sister Bai Ge!]
Ironically, while Xu An is usually the one who is envied, jealous, and hated, there are now quite a few voices envying Bai Ge.
Bai Ge naturally couldn't hear these sounds. At this moment, she took out her phone, held Xu An's hand in the sunlight, and gently took a picture.
Then I opened my social media app, made a few simple edits, and posted it.
Then, with a smile, he showed it to Xu An.
"Xiao An, you don't mind me stealing that line from you, do you?"
Xu An looked at the latest post from the gleaming gold verified account.
It was the group photo that Bai Ge had just taken.
In the photo, he still looks somewhat bewildered, while Bai Ge holds his hand tightly, a smile playing on her lips.
The caption is below the photo.
A grand escape under the sunlight.
Looking at the photo, Xu An was both amused and exasperated.
"Sister Bai Ge, you're a film queen, you can't just release films so casually!"
Xu An pointed to the tractor behind them, which had a very noticeable presence, and the dust that had somehow gotten on their foreheads, and said helplessly.
"My agent and company have no say in my account; I can post whatever I want!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ge's gentle face revealed an expression that was unusually proud, like that of a little girl, but her voice was filled with the confidence of a movie queen.
"Okay, okay, Sister Ge, you're the boss, but doesn't this photo make me look a little stiff?"
"I think it's great."
Bai Ge looked at Xu An in the photo, whose eyes did indeed have a clear look, and couldn't help but feel amused, but said something else entirely.
He then put his phone aside and looked at Xu An warily, his meaning quite clear.
Don't even think about taking my phone and deleting it.
Xu An couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw her guarding against him like a thief.
What kind of image does he have in Sister Ge's heart?
"Sister Ge... don't worry, I definitely won't steal your phone and delete the photos."
Xu An's voice carried a hint of speechlessness.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ge breathed a sigh of relief, but then realized what she meant and couldn't help but laugh.
Wait a minute, what you're saying makes it sound like she was eager to take a photo with you and post it on social media!
Do you know how many people in the industry, who aspire to reach higher levels, don't even have the chance to take a photo with her?
You're just an ordinary person, why don't you cherish this opportunity!
In fact, Bai Ge's idea was not wrong at all.
As a film queen with both beauty and talent, Bai Ge's massive fan base is rare in the entire entertainment industry. These fans may not watch her live streams, but they will definitely follow her social media platforms.
So if someone takes a photo with her and posts it on social media, that person's fame can easily rise to a new level.
It's a pity Xu An doesn't have a social media account, otherwise Bai Ge's post would have easily gained him hundreds of thousands of followers.
Of course, even so, Xu An quickly caught the attention of many Bai Ge fans who hadn't watched the live stream before.
And the effect is quite obvious.
In the control room, Chen Hong watched with a happy expression as new viewers kept pouring into the live broadcast room.
Although Xu An was unaware of this, he realized what was going on when he saw Bai Ge's increasingly hostile gaze.
I seem to have lost track of who the king and queen are.
He quickly changed the subject:
"Ahem, Sister Ge, we've arrived in town. It seems like today is market day here, so we can take a look around."
Although she knew Xu An was trying to change the subject, Bai Ge couldn't help but turn her gaze to the town upon hearing this.
Listening to the deafening sounds of gongs and drums lining both sides of the street, and the crowds gathered around each stall, Bai Ge couldn't help but ask in surprise:
"Why are there so many people?"
Xu An, however, was not surprised by this.
Whether in his past life or this one, he grew up in a village and had seen many such market days. Compared to the large markets that used to be held in several towns when he was a child, this was nothing.
The two parked the tractor and started wandering around in a random direction, which made things difficult for the photographer.
You know, sitting in the cab of a tractor is not a pleasant experience.
With virtually no shock absorption, the bumpy roads in many places had already given the photographer quite a hard time.
Having finally arrived in town, they thought they could finally rest for a while, but the two main characters turned out to be full of energy.
Hearing Director Chen urging him to catch up through his earphones, the photographer's eyes flashed with a hint of despair, but he could only resign himself to his fate and hurry up to catch up.
Seeing Xu An and Bai Ge, a handsome couple, with a photographer following behind them, the people in the market showed some curiosity, but were not too surprised.
With the rapid development of the Internet, such combinations are actually quite common in rural areas, mostly among dreamers who aspire to become self-media creators.
Of course, this is also related to Bai Ge's wise decision to wear a mask early on; otherwise, her highly recognizable model-like face would probably have been blocked by fans as soon as she appeared on the street.
Even so, Bai Ge's exposed eyes and brows still amazed many young men in the market.
Fortunately, the photographer following behind them was quite intimidating; otherwise, they probably would have come up to them directly and asked for their contact information.
Now, they could only look at Xu An with envious eyes, ignoring his good looks, and thinking with no ill intent:
"They're obviously rich; without money, they're nothing!"
Thinking this, they saw Xu An walk up to an old man's candied hawthorn stall, turn around, and say with bright eyes:
"Sister Ge, would you like some candied hawthorn berries?"
Dude, are you still using such an outdated trick?
Did you really think that girl would like candied hawthorn?
They're so stingy even though they have money!
They subconsciously thought that Xu An was using the trick of coaxing little girls with candied hawthorns.
A hint of disdain flashed in the eyes of several men not far from Xu An and Bai Ge.
Even Bai Ge thought so, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes. Of course, she wasn't the kind of little girl who was easily coaxed.
but……
Bai Ge caught a glimpse of the disdain on the men's faces out of the corner of her eye, and a flash of displeasure crossed her mind, but she remained outwardly composed, smiling sweetly as she said:
"Xiao An, how did you know I like candied hawthorns?"
Unexpectedly, Xu An burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"That's good, I want some too! Sister Ge, hurry and buy two skewers!"
what?
Should I buy it?
Bai Ge's eyes looked somewhat blank.
The eyes of the men standing nearby also cleared.
