Isn't Chapter 111 sweet?
Isn't Chapter 111 sweet?
Jiang Haochen took Chi Yuan to buy several sets of clothes, and then walked around the area, introducing the place where he grew up.
Actually, he's not someone who likes to talk about these things with others, but for some reason, he just naturally brought them up when he was with Chi Yuan.
It seems that he feels exceptionally relaxed whenever he is with Chi Yuan.
Cui Dong once told him that a good lover provides a very high level of emotional value to their sugar daddy, even more so than during courtship. Jiang Haochen initially didn't believe it, but...
"Brother, want some cake? It's ten yuan." A seven or eight-year-old blonde girl suddenly blocked their way, holding a basket in her hand, and stared at Chi Yuan as she asked.
Although Chi Yuan's English wasn't good, he could still understand simple sentences. He subconsciously reached for his pockets, but he had come in a hurry and hadn't exchanged any cash here.
"Two, please." Jiang Haochen took money out of his wallet and handed it to the little girl.
The little girl took two cute cakes from the basket, handed them to them, thanked them, and ran off with the basket.
Chi Yuan watched as the little girl went to sell cakes to other people again and couldn't help but say, "So even the kids here have to come out and earn money."
Isn't it said that people from Country S are very rich?
Jiang Haochen could tell from his expression that he had misunderstood: "You don't think they sell cakes to supplement their family income, do you?"
Chi Yuan: "Isn't that right?"
Jiang Haochen laughed: "Of course not, they're doing social practice and earning some pocket money on the side. Many primary schools in China have these kinds of practical classes now, haven't you seen them?"
Chi Yuan shook his head.
Jiang Haochen suddenly realized that Chi Yuan's hometown seemed to be in G Province. G Province is mountainous and has inconvenient transportation; many places are still below the poverty line.
Chi Yuan's family background must not be very good, otherwise he wouldn't be in this circle, yet he thinks 5000 yuan a month is a very high salary. He even subconsciously assumes that the child selling things is helping to support the family.
It's just that Chi Yuan is so good-looking that he always overlooks this fact.
Jiang Haochen: "Speaking of which, I used to make the same mistake as you, thinking that all kids in the world sell things to earn pocket money. I remember when I had just debuted, I went to a mountain in G province to film a movie..."
Chi Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
Jiang Haochen: "Although I returned to China to develop my career a long time ago, my activities were limited to a few first-tier cities, and I hadn't seen much human suffering. That was the first time I went to a mountainous area. Because the place was so remote and the crew was short of supplies, we couldn't get many things to eat. There was a village nearby, I forgot the name, but it was quite poor..."
Loess valley.
Chi Yuan silently added in his mind.
Jiang Haochen continued to recall: "I remember there was a kid from the village who would sell things on the film set, like snacks and drinks, and they were quite expensive..."
Chi Yuan pursed his lips: "Is it very expensive?"
Jiang Haochen nodded seriously: "He sells a three-yuan Coke for six yuan. He sells a four-yuan potato chip for eight yuan. He basically doubles the price."
Chi Yuan responded with an "oh," feeling somewhat guilty.
Jiang Haochen: "But I later found out that he carried those things back from the county town, which was more than ten miles away; the village store didn't sell them at all. So, all things considered, the price he set was actually quite reasonable. Speaking of which, he even treated me to watermelon once. I wonder how that kid is doing now..."
Did I personally treat Mr. Jiang to watermelon?
Chi Yuan: "I...he...why would he invite you to eat watermelon?"
At that time, it was the first time Chi Yuan had ever seen a celebrity; he had never seen anyone so good-looking. The others had been in the mountains for half a month and were all somewhat dirty, but Jiang Haochen, even in his filthy clothes, was still strikingly handsome.
At that time, he didn't understand anything and didn't know that there was such a thing as charisma. He just subconsciously felt that this handsome older brother was from a different world than him. In addition, the crew members reminded him not to get close to the lead actor, so he didn't dare to approach Jiang Haochen. However, every time he went to the set, he couldn't help but steal a few glances.
Jiang Haochen once caught him peeking and asked him with a smile if he wanted an autograph. He was so scared that he ran away.
"Kid, would you like an autograph?"
After becoming a fan of Mr. Jiang, Chi Yuan recalled Mr. Jiang's words to him countless times, filled with regret.
Jiang Haochen: "It wasn't really him who invited me. He gave the watermelon to the production team, and the production team divided it up when they got back. I got a piece."
It turned out to be the case.
With a hint of anticipation, Chi Yuan asked, "Is the watermelon...sweet?"
Jiang Haochen nodded: "It's sweet, and it's an iced watermelon soaked in spring water."
Chi Yuan's eyes crinkled into a smile.
"When the production manager delivered the watermelon, he said it was a thank-you gift from the child to the crew, expressing gratitude for our patronage of his business. That's when I learned that the child was selling things on set to raise money for his school meals. He looked only eight or nine years old, but he was already in junior high school. Guess how much his food expenses were for a semester? You'd never guess."
Chi Yuan knew this, of course, but he said nothing.
Jiang Haochen said, "Three hundred, can you imagine? A whole semester, and you only have three hundred yuan for meals. I don't even know what you can get. Later, I used the money I earned from that movie to donate canteens to several nearby schools. I don't even know if that kid got to eat there."
Did Mr. Jiang donate the canteen because of himself?
Chi Yuan's eyes sparkled: "I ate it, and I even grew taller."
When Mr. Jiang donated the school cafeteria, he was already in the second year of junior high school. Those two years were the two years when he ate the most, and he grew 30 centimeters taller. When they met again, Mr. Jiang did not recognize him.
Mr. Jiang thought Chi Yuan was comforting him, so he smiled and ruffled the boy's hair, then changed the subject: "Let's try the little girl's cooking. Mmm, it's so sweet. Did this kid drop the candy jar in there?"
Jiang Haochen took a bite of the cake, and his face scrunched up from the sweetness.
Chi Yuan also took a bite of his own cake: "Mine is alright, not too sweet."
"Really? I'll give it a try." Before Chi Yuan could react, Jiang Haochen bent down and took a bite of the cake.
Chi Yuan stared blankly at the half-eaten cake in his hand, with only one thought in his mind.
Mr. Jiang and he bit the same spot!
"Yes, yours does taste better."
Chi Yuan stared at the cake in Jiang Haochen's hand, and mustered up her courage to say, "Mr. Jiang, I like sweets, let's change it."
Jiang Haochen naturally had no objection. He swapped cakes with Chi Yuan and ate the remaining half cake in a few bites, leaving nothing behind.
Some people say that if someone doesn't mind the food you've eaten, then they must like you.
Chi Yuan took a bite of the cake.
Jiang Haochen asked him, "Isn't it sweet?"
Chi Yuan nodded: "Mm."
