This Damned Thirst for Survival-Chapter 207: The "Enlightenment" Project In Progress

Chapter 207 - The "enlightenment" project in progress

Jiang Luo returned to his dormitory after leaving Ji Yaozi's shop to retrieve the last of Yuan Tianzhu and Chi You's stone hearts that had been hidden away.

He slowly touched the engraving on Chi You's heart and couldn't help but smile a little.

At this moment, a strong desire to see Chi You suddenly emerged in him, but Jiang Luo did not even know where Chi You was.

Jiang Luo put away his smile, frowned and put Yuan Tianzhu and the stone statue heart into his bag.

At 3pm, Ye Xun's rabbit doll is repaired. The two of them drive back to the flat and open the door to see the living room in total darkness, except for the glowing TV on the wall, where Wen Renlian is watching a film.

Seeing them both back, Ge Zhu warmly invited them, "Want to join us?"

You can't be on edge all the time, and it's important to take a break from your busy schedule. Jiang Luo and Ye Xun are happy to join in, Jiang Luo takes a packet of snacks from the table and lays down comfortably on the sofa.

"What kind of film is this?"

"The Green Hour, a romantic tragedy," Wen Renlian adds with a smile, "We've just finished searching for a film about Bi Gan's heart digging and seeing as you're not back yet, we'll take a look at the others to relax."

Jiang Luo couldn't help but laugh, "There's no such thing as relaxing with a tragedy."

That said, Jiang Luo read it with great interest.

Not to mention the film, he feels as if he hasn't touched the electronic medium in a long time.

The film is set on campus, the heroine is a teacher and the hero is a student, a status that already foreshadows the tragic ending.

The heroine is married, an elegant, conservative, intellectual woman, but her husband is constantly cold and violent towards her, leaving her alone and helpless. The male protagonist is a teenage orphan, brooding and aloof, who has gone from being a pathetic seven- or eight-year-old rubbish collector who is bullied to a 17- or 18-year-old hardened fighter who uses his fists to deal with punk-heads looking for a fight. It seems that these two people will never get along, but after the heroine is rescued by the hero when she encounters a gangster, the two people who would never cross paths become intertwined.

Throughout the film, the hero and heroine never make physical contact, nor do they ever overstep their bounds in terms of confession or dialogue. The most excessive contact is when a pen falls off the table while the heroine is teaching him a topic, and the heroine bends down to pick it up. Yet the eyes and atmosphere between them are buoyant and anxious, the budding love affair is forced down by the clay, and every scene pours out the faintly flawed beauty of dripping restraint and backstabbing virtue.

The film is a good one, but Jiang Luo can't get into it because the heroine is Bai Qiu.

Bai Qiu's face is too good for the big screen, and his acting is excellent. Jiang Luo, who resisted the urge to laugh at the beginning and found it to be good when he watched it carefully, completely missed the allusion to the professions of the hero and heroine.

Sitting next to him on the left and right are Ge Zhu and Wen Renlian, who, towards the end of the film, sighs, "It's a shame."

Jiang Luo asked, "What's the pity?"

Wen Renlian is saddened, "It's a pity that the heroine is too afraid to express her feelings to the hero even though she is obviously divorced from her husband. It is a pity that the male protagonist, because of his poverty and low self-esteem, would rather secretly lecture the male teacher who takes advantage of the female protagonist to carry a big fault than dare to tell the female protagonist that he likes her."

Jiang Luo thought he meant something, but he couldn't understand what Wen Renlian meant by that. Jiang Luo thought he was overthinking things, so he said casually, "Teacher and student! Either the man goes on to study and leaves the school, or the woman quits, otherwise they can't be together."

Wen Renlian saw that he still didn't understand and gave Ge Zhu a wink.

Ge Zhu immediately followed up, "It's also true that teacher-student relationships are inherently sensitive. But look at their misadventures, they didn't get together even after they got out of the campus. The male protagonist is afraid that the female protagonist does not like him, and the female protagonist is afraid that the male protagonist is only in love with her as a teacher and student, so the two lovers are so far apart that they dare not show their emotions even if they want to talk to each other more when they meet.

Jiang Luo nodded, "It's quite a pity."

Zhuo Zhongqiu skilfully interjected: "Isn't that what falling in love is all about? You hide your love in your heart and don't say anything, so who knows if you love me or not? How many marriages have broken up because of misunderstandings? What I dread most is the kind in movies, where it's clear that you love me and I love you, but you keep it inside and miss it for the rest of your life, it's so hard to watch that I want to go into the movie and pry their mouths open with a shovel."

Jiang Luo's snacking fingers gave a pause, and when he looked at the hero and heroine on the screen again, his eyes were more than a little thoughtful.

Jiang Luo suddenly remembered that Bai Qiu had once told him that many people in the entertainment industry wanted to buy his Ping An Fu.

Each of the stars in the entertainment industry has countless fans. Can the offerings of one star be compared to the offerings of hundreds or thousands?

Ge Zhu thought Jiang Luo was enlightened and wanted to hug Zhuo Zhongqiu and give her mad praise, he coughed his throat, " Zhong Qiu is right, people in love, whether male or female need their other half to show love, without it, sooner or later it will lead to tragedy."

Jiang Luo nods, thinking they have a point.

Wen Renlian deliberately asked, " Jiang Luo, what do you think?"

"But some people are shy and shy by nature, others are introverted and stable, so it's understandable that they can't say anything to express their love. When two people are together, they don't necessarily have to show their love for each other through their mouths, they can show it through their actions. Whether you like someone or not, whether that person will be crazy and obsessed by you, his body, eyes and expressions will express it clearly."

It's like him and Chi You.

Chi You only said once that he liked him, but after Chi You sacrificed his life to jump off Longquan for Jiang Luo, Jiang Luo knew that the evil spirit loved him more than life.

Jiang Luo can see clearly that such words are not necessary.

Jiang Luo is confident that Chi You will also understand his feelings.

He felt that between the two of them, the passion, the excitement, the extreme desire for each ...... other, things that were obvious to both parties did not need to be brought out much.

Chi You must understand.

Wen Renlian and Ge Zhu were already smiling, but after hearing his words, the smiles on their lips slowly froze.

Jiang Luo waited attentively for the end credits to play, then yawned, got up lazily, washed his hands and went back to his room to make a phone call to Bai Qiu.

Bai Qiu took a while to pick up, his voice not hiding his tiredness, with a bit of nasal raspiness, "Hello?"

"It's me," Jiang Luo said with a raised eyebrow, "Sister Bai Qiu, just waking up?"

Bai Qiu has some energy, "I haven't slept yet, I'm sleepy, my sister's new movie just came out these days, I'm so busy running around, I don't have time to sleep at all."

Jiang Luo said, "The movie 'Green Day'?"

"You know," Bai Qiu was a little surprised, even flattered, "do you guys in that business watch movies too?"

"Of course I'll watch it," Jiang Luo was happy, "Sister, you're such a good actress."

Bai Qiu burst into laughter, " Jiang Luo, you are so sweet. It's a pity that I have to work later, so just tell me what you want. We don't need to talk about niceties in this relationship!"

Jiang Luo walked slowly to the window, looking into the distance, and smiled at his words, "Then I'll be polite, Sister Bai Qiu, I intend to sell peace and blessings to your circle there."

Bai Qiu froze and then said with great joy, "That's a good thing! How many do you sell? Save a dozen for me first!"

"More of this stuff is just a waste," Jiang Luo said with a smile, "I'll sell as much as I can, but Sister Bai Qiu, I need to screen people. Do you still mean what you said before about helping me screen people?"

Bai Qiu said categorically, "It counts, of course it counts."

Jiang Luo is not a member of the industry, so he doesn't know how much his name and Ping An Fu have been blown out of proportion in the industry. The chief director of "Next Stop, Idol" has been known to brag on Jiang Luo's behalf, saying many times that without the talisman Jiang Luo gave him, he would have been in his coffin long ago. The more you get involved in this circle, the more you believe in these things.

The fact that he was able to help Jiang Luo with his connections to sell Ping An Fu was a great thing in itself. Bai Qiu was able to get a lot of contacts from these contacts, which is worth a thousand times more than gold and silver.

Once again, Bai Qiu was glad she had met Jiang Luo early, and she assured him with a hearty pat on the back, "You can say what your criteria are for selection."

Jiang Luo was not polite, "Not the most treacherous, not the most deceitful, not the most subversive. In short, those with poor character cannot be sold even if they are paid more money."

When he said this, almost half of the entertainment industry was brushed off. Bai Qiu hesitated for a moment, pondering whether she could afford to offend these people. After thinking and thinking, she felt that there were quite a few people in the entertainment industry who had the same bottom line as herself, and that overall the pros outweighed the cons.

Bai Qiu responded, "Okay, leave it to me."

"Apart from that, people who want to buy peace blessings need to do one more thing, they need to offer incense to a statue for a minimum of three months." Jiang Luo narrowed his eyes.

Three months, the period he had left for himself to kill his nemesis.

During these three months, Jiang Luo will absorb the offerings with all his might to achieve the fastest possible results in the shortest possible time.

Bai Qiu did not hesitate to say, "This is easy, as long as you are willing to sell it, not to mention three months, you can offer it for three years."

Jiang Luo smiled, " Sister Bai Qiu, you've been busy with the movie lately, can you keep busy?"

"It's really a bit busy," Bai Qiu said matter-of-factly, "two people are better ...... Do you have any more recommendations?"

Jiang Luo said slowly, "I really have a candidate here, why don't we make an appointment to talk about the cooperation?"

"Okay," Bai Qiu agreed dryly, "a friend of mine who owns a bar has a birthday the night after tomorrow and I need to go to celebrate her birthday. How about a date at her place, since her bar is inaccessible to the doggies?"

Jiang Luo said, "Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Luo contacted Fu Wei. Fu Wei had owed him a request, and after hearing his words, Fu Wei did not hesitate to nod in agreement.

Jiang Luo hangs up the phone, in a good mood, and he hums a song as he takes a shower and goes to bed. Early the next morning, Wen Renlian also learns from him that he has a bar date with someone else.

With a twinkle in his eye, Wen Renlian asked tenderly, "How about taking me along for one?"

Jiang Luo winked at him ambiguously, "Sure."

Wen Renlian knew he had misunderstood, but instead of explaining, he smiled at him and took a sip of tea with aplomb.

Perhaps in the bar he was able to borrow someone's hit on Jiang Luo to make him see his feelings for Chi You.

If Jiang Luo refuses to be approached by all men and is not attracted to all men's seduction, but will only be intimate with Chi You and become lovers with Chi You, then wouldn't it be possible if he gave a few words of advice on the side?

I just don't know if the evil spirit will allow Jiang Luo to be courted by other men.

Maybe he could work with Chi You ......
