Rebirth in Showbiz: How to Win the Showbiz Emperor's Heart?

Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Being Good

The crisp voice, filled with deep reluctance, sounded like a wounded little beast, uneasy and fragile.

Since they had been together for so long, this was the first time Tong Yan heard him speak.

For the first time, just five words, yet they moved Tong Yan intensely.

”Sister, don’t leave Xiao Zhi,” Xiao Zhi said again, lifting his little head to look directly at her, his big eyes full of her reflection.

Tong Yan felt a bit troubled.

She’s going to another place to shoot a film, how could she take him along?

This wasn’t something to be taken lightly.

Time was slipping away little by little.

Xiao Zhi’s bright eyes gradually dimmed, like a candle flame going out, becoming empty and cold. The waves that had just risen returned to calm. He climbed down from her lap, stood in front of her, and slightly bent his waist, ”Thank you, sister, for taking care of me during this time.”

He didn’t want his sister to leave, but he didn’t want to trouble her either; he wanted her to be happy.

After speaking, he turned around and left.

His small back was desolate and lonely, seemingly in an instant as if all hope had vanished, lifeless.

Someone who has lived in darkness all along finally finds a bit of warmth and light, trying hard to grasp it, only to find it’s fleeting.

Despair and pain.

He didn’t want anything else; he just wanted this sister, to hug her fragrant self to sleep every night, hear her voice, see her smile at him, but she didn’t want him anymore.

Was it because he wasn’t well-behaved?

Was it because he was a bad person, so his sister didn’t want him?

But he really liked his sister.

Really liked, really liked.

Sister...

Xiao Zhi walked to the door, suddenly turned around, and ran back, bumping into her arms, ”Sister, can you come and see Xiao Zhi often in the future?” Even if just once is okay.

Tong Yan patted his little head, his soft hair felt comfortable, nodded, ”Xiao Zhi, sister really likes you, and sister will definitely come to see you whenever she’s free. You need to be good.”

Xiao Zhi nodded, ”I will be good.”

At this moment, the phone rang, and Tong Yan picked it up.

Zhou Xinyan’s calm voice came through, ”Beauty, something big happened, Zuo Yi had a car accident at noon today. Although he’s fine, he has a fracture and needs a month of rest. What about my male actor? Everything is ready, and if we suddenly postpone, the loss would be significant.”

Tong Yan was just about to speak when she added, ”By the way, what about your son? He looked pretty good last time, can he act? Why not let him give it a try.”

Xiao Zhi?

”I’ll send you something, take a look.”

After hanging up, Tong Yan sent the public service film to Zhou Xinyan.

A moment later, Zhou Xinyan sent a message on WeChat: Go with your son.

Tong Yan was delighted, bent down, and said with a smile, ”Xiao Zhi, do you want to go act in a film with sister?”

Xiao Zhi nodded, saying firmly, ”I want to!”

He said it loudly, his voice crisp, different from the previous bleakness, with a hint of liveliness.

Tong Yan felt a sense of relief, this was good too, having been together for a month, suddenly parting would be unbearable.

After getting Xiao Zhi’s consent, Tong Yan informed the director, and the two of them headed to Beijing.

Since the lead actor was changed, new character photos needed to be taken, otherwise, the audience would feel deceived.

Xiao Zhi was very photogenic and particularly smart. With just a little guidance, the resulting effect was even slightly better than Zuo Yi, which made Zhou Xinyan say multiple times they hit the jackpot.

The crew worked overtime to finish the character photos and released them online, causing a huge stir.
