156:
Jiang Mian glanced at him. Perhaps Ran Xi himself didn't realize that the things hidden deep in his eyes seemed to be blown away like wind and sand as he left the heaven and earth.
He has made a choice and his life will change in the future.
At least, the ending in the book is no longer his ending.
"This is a good thing." Jiang Mian did not ask more about how he entered the heaven and earth in the first place, "What are your plans for the future?"
Ran Xi hesitated for a second: "Work as a waiter here first, save some money, and then go check out other places."
Jiang Mian: "Aren't you going home?"
"No need." Ran Xi shook his head. From now on, he would live for himself.
"Miss." He suddenly said, the hands hanging by his sides clenched tightly, sweating on his palms.
Jiang Mian smiled and said: "You are not employed by me now, so you don't need to call me that. If others hear it, they will think that I am exploiting you."
"Can I call you Mianmian?" he blurted out.
Facing his nervous and expectant gaze, Jiang Mian frowned imperceptibly: "Just call me by my name."
Ran Xi's heart froze, and she wanted to look away in a panic, but felt that it was too obvious, so she could only force herself to continue looking at Jiang Mian.
Jiang Mian's eyes seemed to penetrate into his heart. She considered it for a moment and said slowly: "Ran Xi, you need to understand that I haven't done anything to help you. You don't have to feel that you owe me."
Ran Xi didn't speak. He seemed to understand what Jiang Mian wanted to say.
Jiang Mian added: "Since you have decided to live for yourself, work hard towards this goal."
"You helped me a lot." Ran Xi shook his head gently, his voice firm.
He held out his hand.
Ran Xi's fingers are very beautiful. If you look closely, you can see many calluses and scars in his hands. He held the light shining down from his head and said word by word: "You let me see the clean light. It gave me hope."
He took a deep breath and his eyes slowly brightened.
"Jiang Mian, you have been different to me from the first time I saw you." His eyelashes were trembling, but his eyes were firm, "I know I shouldn't have such delusions, but I can't control it."
"In my life, I have earned too little and asked for not much. Suddenly, I care about her and have someone I want to love. As long as I think of her, I feel warm."
"I know you have no self in your heart, not because you think I'm not worthy of you, but because you don't care about me." He looked at her intently, the stars in his eyes only lit up for her, "I don't know what the future will bring. Only this kind of person can make you care about him in your heart."
Jiang Mian was silent, wanting to say something, but felt that nothing would be good.
"The bathroom is here." Ran Ran stopped.
He turned around to leave, took two steps and then paused. He turned back and smiled brightly at Jiang Mian, "You are the best girl I have ever seen. I only hope that you will be safe and smooth in the future and that all your wishes will come true."
After saying that, Ran Xi left without any further delay. The pace was very slow at first and then increased in speed at the end.
After a few seconds, he disappeared from Jiang Mian's eyes.
"Ran Xi, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Ran Xi seeming to be running away from something, Ding Xiaotian was confused and worried.
"It's nothing." The corners of Ran Xi's lips slowly raised, and a faint redness seemed to flash through her eyes, "I'm a little happy."
Ding Xiaotian was a little puzzled and suddenly understood: "Did Jiang Mian give you an autograph and take a photo?"
So you're so excited that you're about to cry
Ran Xi said nothing.
Jiang Mian stood there, having been solemnly confessed to someone for the first time, and her mood was a little complicated for a moment.
At first, Jiang Mian didn't realize that Ran Xi was a male model in heaven and earth. His rich father spent money on him, and his duty was to serve others.
His consideration and care for her were not just in accordance with the contract.
Until Ran Xi brought the cake on the plane.
He had an injury on his head. As a male model who acted in accordance with the contract, no matter how gentle and considerate he was, what he should do at this time was to take a good rest instead of making a cake for her with the injury.
It’s not like there’s no one else on the plane, so why bother.
Jiang Mian was not a fool. She said she didn't like desserts, and that was her answer.
If you don't have that thought, don't give the other person daydreams.
Entering the bathroom and looking at herself in the mirror, Jiang Mian looked confused.
She and Ran Xi didn't actually get along much, and she didn't do anything to help him. Why did Ran Xi like her
This face

When Jiang Mian returned to the box, there was a lot of commotion inside. He wanted Jiang Mian and Yu Ran to sing a love song. Jiang Mian said that he was very drunk and needed to go back.
The others didn't want to let it go, but fortunately Director Zhang said, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, so they had no choice but to stop making noises.
Yu Ran offered to send Jiang Mian out, and the two took this opportunity to leave the KTV.
Being blown by the wind, Yu Ran woke up from his drunkenness.
Xie Siyuan opened the car door, Tang Anan helped Jiang Mian get into the car, and Yu Ran said to her through the window: "Have a good rest, goodbye."
"Goodbye, Teacher Yu."
Watching the car drive away, Yu Ran did not look back until it disappeared from sight.
Assistant Shi Shi said cautiously: "Brother Ran, I bought medicine, do you want to take one?"
Yu Ran has stomach problems and cannot drink too much.
Based on Shi Shi's experience, Yu Ran must be feeling sick to his stomach at this moment, but he is used to hiding it so that others won't notice it easily.
Yu Ran didn't answer the question: "It's finished."
Shitou looked confused.

The next day, Jiang Mian opened her eyes and Tang Anan handed her a wet towel to wake her up: "Mianmian, Du Yi has arrived."
Jiang Mian remembered that she asked Tang An'an to contact Du Yi to take photos on her cell phone today.
I didn't expect the other party to come so early.
When he came back last night, he was quite drunk. Jiang Mian didn't practice any cultivation, so he simply cleaned up and fell asleep for the night.
"It's getting late." Tang An'an guessed what Jiang Mian was thinking and showed Jiang Mian the time, "It's almost nine o'clock."
Jiang Mian: "..."
Du Yi is a young man in his twenties with average appearance. He can sit in this position at his age, which shows that he is not weak in ability.
After seeing Jiang Mian, he smiled bitterly and said with a look of relief: "Miss Jiang, I finally hope that you will accept the contract for filming."
"Sorry." Jiang Mian said apologetically, "It's my problem."
Du Yi was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Mian to apologize so readily. He thought Jiang Mian had been delaying filming because of what happened before.
It would be a lie to say that he is not angry, but there is nothing he can do about it.
He just said that on purpose, with a hint of irony, and I believe Jiang Mian heard it.
Now that Jiang Mian was apologizing so sincerely, it actually made him a little embarrassed.
It seems that Jiang Mian helped him. If it weren't for Jiang Mian, he wouldn't be the person in charge.
Moreover, it was Jiang Mian who removed a huge cancer for the company.
"You're welcome, Miss Jiang." Du Yi showed a sincere smile on his face and extended his hand to Jiang Mian, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
Jiang Mian smiled and the two shook hands: "It's a pleasure to work together."
With a good start, the signing of the contract and filming went smoothly. The spokesperson was very polite. It took almost three days to get it done, and both parties were very satisfied.

It was already evening when Jiang Mian returned to her long-awaited home. Although she hadn't been home for a while, the house was still spotless - Liu's mother would come every day to clean the room and feed Mimi.
As soon as she came home, the fat cat named Mimi came over to her. She hadn't seen her owner for a while and didn't recognize her. She hugged Jiang Mian's legs and kept meowing like a baby.
The hairs all over Jiang Mian's body stood up. He wanted to shake it off, but he didn't dare to use too much force for fear of hurting it, so he had no choice but to hold it by the back of its neck and throw it into the cat's nest.
After a while, it shamelessly stuck to me again.
"Stop."
Fat Mao Feidan didn't stop, but ran faster.
Jiang Mian: "..."
She threw the little paper man over, and sure enough, when she saw the little paper man, the fat cat stopped moving, staring at the little paper man with a pair of green eyes, and began to move its legs back as if it felt something.
On the contrary, the little paper man was very curious when he saw the fat cat and rushed towards the fat cat.
"Meow~!"
Seeing that the cat and paper were getting along so well, Jiang Mian happily went to the bathroom to take a bath.
Jiang Mian was soaking in the bathtub while playing games on his tablet, enjoying a rare leisure time.
The video call suddenly popped up - it was Master Tianshi's call.
As soon as the video was connected, it was not Tianshi Dad’s iconic beard, but a big shiny bald head, and the background light was very dark, so the bald head was very bright.
When the great monk saw Jiang Mian, his eyes lit up and he said, "Are you Wuzhen's daughter?"
Jiang Mian frowned: "Are you...?"
The great monk coughed but before he spoke, Jiang Mian's heart skipped a beat and her face turned cold: "What's wrong with my dad?"
"It's okay." The great monk was startled by her tone, "Your dad is fine."
He said: "Didn't you call him and send him a message before and he didn't reply? I was afraid that you would be worried, so let me give you a call."
"Why did my father ask you to call me? Where are the others? Why don't you talk to me? Is he injured? Where are you now?" Jiang Mian asked a series of questions, and the great monk was stunned for a moment. I don’t know which one to reply to her first.
"He, he fell asleep." The great monk stammered, "He was too tired, so he asked me to call you for help."
"Really, don't believe it."
After a few seconds, the camera shifted and Jiang Mian saw a small fire. Tianshi's father was lying next to the fire with some branches under him. His beard covered his face so that she could not clearly see his condition.
Through these bright lights, you can see that the Taoist robe on the wealthy father's body is damaged in many places, and two small paper figures are lying on his eyes, acting as blindfolds.
"Wake him up." Jiang Mian almost stood up from the water in a hurry.
"He's really fine." The great monk rolled his eyes. "Listen to his breathing. He finally fell asleep. It would be a pity to wake him up."
"Besides, your dad is so powerful, how could he get hurt?" If you listen carefully to these words, you can vaguely hear the feeling of gnashing of teeth.
After saying this, Jiang Mian saw Tianshi Dad reaching out and scratching his face, then turned over and continued to sleep, with his whole face lying on the ground, and he didn't mind that the branches on the ground were hurting him.
Her rapidly beating heart dropped back at this moment, and it turned out that she really fell asleep.
"Look, I didn't lie to you." The great monk said solemnly, "Monks don't lie, so why don't you believe what the poor monk said?"
Jiang Mian's eyebrows still didn't relax. Since Tianshi's father was fine, even if he fell asleep due to exhaustion, at worst, if he woke up and found a chance to videotape her, how could he let others beat her
"Who are you?" she asked coldly.
The great monk did not answer her, but stared at her, with interest that could not be concealed on his face: "What is your name, how old are you, and do you live in Lingqing Temple with Wu Zhen?"
