Dressed as a top-notch stand-in for the president

"Why not?"

Wang Luoshui looked at Meng Rendong with a bit of inexplicable meaning. First, he used Ji Yu's current popularity to convince her. If she missed this exposure, what a loss it would be to her——

Because Ji Yu may not be able to sit firmly at the top until her debut.

The first round of voting is over, and the gap between her and No.2 Ling Lan is not very big, and this part of the underwater shooting will also be used as an easter egg in the next episode, which can increase the audience's understanding of Ji Yu , At the same time, this filming is also a rare experience for her, and it is only good for her future development.

She didn't understand why Meng Rendong was facing an enemy like this.

Meng Rendong's dark eyes were almost chilling, if it wasn't for the fact that the person in front of her was her good friend, but if any employee of Huangting Entertainment was here at this moment, she would never patiently explain it over and over again, even Will not repeat their own instructions.

But she had a contract with "Dream Chasing 100" long ago, and she could not intervene in the arrangements here without authorization, not to mention that Wang Luoshui is her friend, so it is not appropriate to use power to overwhelm others at this time.

Meng Rendong turned his eyes away, not letting Wang Luoshui see her tightly clenched palms, and repeated sullenly:

"She's...really afraid of water."

"Maybe I'll just faint when I get to the shooting scene."

Wang Luoshui looked at her suspiciously, as if doubting the authenticity of her words, but thinking of Meng Rendong's character of never disdain for exaggeration and lying, she continued: "There is an emergency doctor over there, if Ji Yu's situation is really like this, Seriously, she won't be forced to take pictures, don't worry."

Meng Rendong nodded, then she got up from her seat, took two steps outside, stopped, and asked Wang Luoshui in a natural manner: "Where are they filming?"

Wang Luoshui: "...? No, what were you doing in the past?"

Meng Rendong said frankly, "I'm worried."

Wang Luoshui: "???"

She looked at Meng Rendong very puzzled, "Are you taking the problem too seriously? Nan Xing... is also very afraid of water, you know? But she said that she can shoot—"

Wang Luoshui thought that it would be messy if friends cared, so he made a big fuss over a molehill.

Meng Rendong remembered what happened back then, but the frost in her brows became thicker. She said, "This is different."

In the past, Meng Rendong didn't want to think too much about the past, but she didn't know why, probably because she was always sorting out the past memories in her dreams recently, and she remembered many things that she was about to forget.

Especially that nightmare.

Gradually, she not only dreamed that she was late, but also dreamed that Chu Nanxing was accompanied by Chu Huaide, being questioned over and over again, but she didn't know whether it was Chu Huaide's energy or her age at that time. She was too young. As the person closest to Chu Jianyu's death scene, not many people criticized her for not doing anything when her sister was close to being killed.

Everyone thought she was frightened, or didn't react at first.

Later, because of the energy of the Chu family, I heard that Chu Huaide hired her a youth counselor for a long time. Later, when friends around mentioned this matter again, they would naturally feel that Chu Nanxing was also listed as a victim. By.

— But this is different.

Ji Yu is the one who has faced the fear of death.

……

"Happy..."

Standing by the wide swimming pool, which was reserved by the program crew and professional filming staff, the system noticed that Ji Yu was staring at the light blue pool, and called her softly in her mind.

When Qi Feng announced the shooting of this underwater dance before, it felt Ji Yu's fear and stiffness at that time, even though Ji Yu didn't show it, but this was the first time the system felt that Ji Yu was so serious about something. conflict.

Ji Yu stared at the water where she could see the bottom at a glance, and kept convincing herself that "it's okay", "this pool is very shallow", "there are people watching around", "don't be nervous", etc., but she found that her breathing and Heart rate is still gradually increasing.

After the system called her several times, Ji Yu finally realized it, and even couldn't help but respond with her voice:

"Ok?"

Ling Lan, who was standing next to her and was not very good at swimming, heard her "Huh?", turned to look at her, and answered like a charade: "Huh?"

Ji Yu took half a step back indistinctly, and she was much farther away from the pool, making sure that even if someone patted herself from behind, or slipped due to stepping on the water, she would not just fall into the terrifying abyss in front of her Then I had the energy to pat Ling Lan's arm lightly:

"It's okay, I was just talking to myself."

At the same time, she asked the system: "What's wrong?"

The system then asked, "Are you scared?"

Ji Yu admitted frankly: "Yes, when I was ten years old, I seemed to fall into the water, and then I was rescued and sent to the hospital, but I forgot all the memories before that, leaving only the memory of the water. Scared."

The system was startled by her experience of falling into the water, and quickly asked: "Then we don't want to shoot?"

Ji Yu pursed her lips, looked at the pool in front of her again, there was obvious resistance in her eyes, but she was taking a deep breath again, and smiled wryly at the system: "I'm afraid it won't work... This shooting is a reward, I have to come, alas, Are there any cards that can help people eliminate fear?"

In my impression, this is the first time Ji Yu is interested in those fancy card effects of the system.

The system immediately said: "Yes! I'll look for it! Now there are two cards: 'You will be fearless in the next 3 minutes' x20 and 'I feel like I am the most powerful in the world at this moment' x13. Your negativity, keep filming."

Ji Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

She calculated the time for the two types of cards and decided to use them sparingly, as long as she never went into the water when she was not shooting.

It was the safest way she could think of.

The system also helped her search for the general duration of this kind of shooting, accurately and economically planned the number of cards used for Ji Yu, and whispered to her after finding out that it was correct:

"By the way, Yuyu, after you lost your memory...have you never thought of those things?"

Ji Yu inadvertently thought about the previous events. In fact, when she was rescued from the water and sent to the hospital, she was still interested in her past and wanted to explore it.

It was probably because she later found out that no one cared about her in this world, and from the mouths of relatives around her, she found that she had never gotten along with her parents since she was born, and had been growing up in an environment that lacked love——

It can be seen from this that whether amnesia or not, it seems that it will not make her life better from now on, and it will not make her sigh "I seem to be able to live a good life". I think there is not much difference before and after amnesia. So gradually, I no longer have any desire to explore this.

Except once.

She remembered that Si Tian seemed to have taken herself to the swimming pool, but that time she happened to see a child with leg cramps underwater or something, slapping the water and slipping down the swimming ring.

At that time, Ji Yu couldn't help feeling that her eyes went dark, and when she woke up again, she was in the emergency room with a splitting headache.

At that time, she seemed to see something in her headache, and made Si Tian next to her very anxious, and finally transferred her to the hospital. The fee was a huge sum of money for the two of them at that time, and it almost cost them nothing. All of Si Tian's previous savings.

When she came out, Si Tian asked her casually, "Do you remember what you said when you had a headache?"

Ji Yu looked at her blankly: "What did you say?"

Si Tian stared at her for a long while, then suddenly raised his hand and rubbed her head, and replied, "It's nothing, I didn't hear clearly—this time it's all my fault, next time I won't bring you near any pools." place."

Ji Yu was distracted, and replied with a smile: "It's okay, I didn't know that I was so afraid of water before, it wasn't your fault, and you wanted to take me out to play... but I was scared. You spent all your money."

"This is fine."

Si Tian smiled, and said to her seriously:

"Don't be afraid."

"I won't take you to any swimming pool in the future, and I won't let you encounter such danger again."

……

Looking back now, Ji Yu felt that she might have remembered something when she was extremely stimulated at that time, so she asked Si Tian to ask.

But after that, she never encountered any danger again, and Si Tian never mentioned it to her again.

So that's the end of the matter.

Now being mentioned by the system, Ji Yu was not sure: "Maybe it's because the past is not important, so I haven't remembered it all the time?"

She carefully recalled the content of the TV series that Si Tian acted in before, and then added: "Because the very important memories in the TV series are always stimulated to remember? I almost never came up with this one. The first 16 The year is like a blank, I guess it is not very acceptable to me, so I have never thought about it."

The system heard a "huh", as if agreeing.

However, after Ji Yu's attention was diverted by the people around him, he discovered something was wrong——

Ji Yu is only 23 years old now.

What is the concept of all blank memories before the age of 16?

Two-thirds of life experience is empty.

According to its observations and records of human beings, human beings are easy to perceive loneliness, so they have social needs, and need to feel the value of their own existence from interactions with others, which may be needed, trusted, etc., while memories and Past experience, to a certain extent, can give people a sense of belonging knowing where they come from...

If it were any other person, let alone a 16-year blank, even if even a part of childhood is lost, it will have a huge impact on subsequent behaviors, and that person will definitely unknowingly pursue his missing memory.

People are like that.

The more you lack something, the more you want to get something.

The trouble that amnesia brings to a person's life is huge. Even if many hidden memories of life details still remain in the body, but many times, when you go to a place, see familiar scenery, and meet people you know, There will be a kind of anxiety of "Huh? I seem to have this kind of deja vu feeling before? But where is it?" Anxiety will arise, and this anxiety will force those memories that are closed due to stimulation.

But in Ji Yu's body, it didn't see this feeling.

Even if Ji Yu hadn't said it himself, the system would not have realized the impact of that part of amnesia on Ji Yu——

this moment.

The system felt a great sense of disobedience from Ji Yu's body. It was very sure that Ji Yu's nerves were not slower than ordinary people. Except for being hit by Si Tian's incident, other behaviors were no different from ordinary people, but... …Why is she so indifferent when it comes to lost memories?

It was as if there was a strange force that invisibly weakened Ji Yu's pursuit of the past.

For the first time, the system was puzzled by the small supporting role he picked from another world.

……

Ten minutes later.

Ji Yu saw Jiang Lianque encouraging Chu Nanxing to get into the water in a warm voice from a distance, Chang Xue was also patting the water underneath to let her get used to it, Chu Nanxing pursed her lips, put her toes in and then dodged, looking cautious.

Here, Ling Lan and her are like two prisoners who are about to go to the execution ground, both eyes are wide open, standing on the bank and staring at the swimming pool, as if this way they don't have to go down to be tortured.

The nearby Rong Bai and the other three had already played like ducks in water.

Ji Yu struggled with herself for a long time, but she still couldn't overcome her fear, as if closing her eyes was a picture of a person sinking, so she had to divert her attention and ask Ling Lan:

"Are you scared too?"

Ling Lan shook her head: "No, I have been able to swim since childhood."

Ji Yu: "Then why don't you go down?"

Ling Lan subconsciously said: "Because you are afraid, I will accompany you!"

Ji Yu couldn't help smiling, for some reason, maybe Ling Lan, a friend who is good at water, was by her side, and she seemed a little relieved, but even so, when the director came over and asked everyone if they had adapted to the water, Ji Yu still felt dry. of.

More than an hour had passed by then——

Even Chu Nanxing was already standing in the pool.

She was the only one still on shore.

Ji Yu hurriedly raised her hand to signal: "I'm afraid of the cold, I'll stop when I start shooting, it won't affect the progress, don't worry."

She doesn't want to put precious card states on the water.

Sure enough, a few minutes before the filming started, Ji Yu had already stretched and warmed up, and entered the pool.

……

Surrounded by the water patterns, feeling the gentle coolness that seems to be lightly attached to the skin, Ji Yu felt that she was frozen by the deep chill.

She seems to know how powerful water is.

Even the struggle that engulfs a person is silent.

There might not even be much ups and downs.

Even though she no longer felt afraid, Ji Yu found that she still hated the feeling of being completely submerged in water, as if she could float up at any time, but she had to work hard to sink herself, as if she had given up hope.

She had no choice but to close her eyes, and after remembering the director's feeling, she dived down as required——

"Gollum..."

Small strings of air bubbles spit out from the mouth.

Ji Yu closed her eyes and couldn't see the direction of the camera. She stretched out her hand and grabbed around, but still didn't touch anything. She had to stand up straight, poke her head out of the water, and let the water in her hair flow down. She closed her eyes, waiting for the feeling to pass.

The director was on the shore, just saying the word "open eyes", when he heard a loud "Plop!"

Everyone was surprised.

Ji Yu wiped the water from her eyes, opened her eyes and looked back, only to find a black head with a diving cap on the surface of the water, and the diver looked at the family standing on the shore in a daze. The new owner of the swimming studio.

I saw a tall figure in a snow-white suit standing beside the pool, reflected by the sparkling light. The suit was accompanied by a dark red shirt, and even the jeweled cufflinks shone with the projected waves. move.

Her clear and beautiful face should be always expressionless, but I don't know if her skin is too white, Ji Yu can feel the gaze of her eyes from such a distance.

When everyone didn't know what happened, the diver gestured to the people here, indicating that nothing happened, then went to see Meng Rendong, and said with a smile:

"I haven't turned on the thermostat yet! Boss, boss, after they leave, I'll change the pool, clean it, and try changing the water for you?"

Meng Rendong looked at Ji Yu's condition from this distance, and found that he was fine, so he couldn't help but feel that he was a bit ashamed to push the diver down to save him just now because he was too nervous.

fine--

Her new hire is very discerning.

She disliked the water in this half of the public swimming pool without any trace, and said softly, "Don't bother."

Anyway, she didn't buy it just now to swim for herself.

While talking, she noticed that Ji Yu was still looking in this direction, because she was worried that the other party's body would not be able to bear it, and she was afraid that Ji Yu would not dare to refuse the program group's arrangement, Meng Rendong said a thousand words, and only two words remained on the lips:

"Don't be afraid."

She moved her lips, and said to Ji Yu silently after such a long distance, like a promise, but also like a promise.

- Don't be afraid, I'm here.

As I said, I won't put you in danger again.

I will always watch you.
