Chapter 193: Chapter 193 - Heartwarming Pretty Lady
“Don’t mention it . ” No matter if it was the earlier scenario or Meng Ping’s pay, it was just something she did with saying a few words . “I made some soup for you . ”
The soup was made by Yun Xiangxiang herself . Yun Xiangxiang asked Wang Yong to stay at home to keep an eye on Yun Lin . Du Changrong asked everyone in the crew to have boxed rice for meals .
Since Yun Xiangxiang did not want to be accused of getting special treatment, and also because the boxed rice that Du Changrong ordered was decent, she agreed after bringing a lot of sauces with her .
“Thank you,” Meng Ping was moved . Her eyes reddened as her heart was filled with an indescribable warmth .
“Why isn’t there anyone taking care of you?” Yun Xiangxiang poured some of the soup and fed it to her . She did not see anyone by Meng Ping’s side .
“I hired a healthcare worker . The person can only come tomorrow,” Meng Ping was embarrassed . “I can call the nurse if anything comes up . ”
“What about your family?” Yun Xiangxiang frowned . The nurses in hospitals were busy as bees . They would overlook some details from time to time .
“My parents have passed away . My siblings are still in school…,” Meng Ping whispered .
Her parents died in an accident when she was in Grade Twelve . Only a pair of twins of mixed sex and herself survived . Her uncles set their gazes on the measly assets her parents had . As she had just come of age, she grit her teeth and raised her sister and brother who were eight years younger than her .
“I’m sorry . I didn’t know…,” Yun Xiangxiang was apologetic .
“It’s fine . You’re just concerned about me,” Meng Ping shook her head .
Yun Xiangxiang finally understood why Meng Ping was having a hard life . She was supporting two siblings who were in Grade Eleven . She was carrying a heavy burden on her shoulders .
She spent a hefty sum of money for her surgery this time . She must be in a financially worse position now .
“Sister Ping, if you are gone, your brother and sister will be very sad,” Yun Xiangxiang advised her indirectly .
“Don’t worry . I understand . After that near-death experience, I won’t dare to push myself so much anymore,” Meng Ping finally understood it .
She was desperate for money, but she ended up having to fork out even more of it . Even if she wanted to make money, she had to rest up first .
Yun Xiangxiang left the hospital after a short chat with Meng Ping . She really wanted to go shopping .
She wore a face mask and a baseball cap, donning an oversized denim attire on purpose . It was fortunate she was not recognized in the hospital . She wanted to go shopping…
Forget it . Yun Xiangxiang got into the car dejectedly and returned to the hotel she was staying at temporarily . The receptionist told her she had a package to receive .
“It’s so small . What is it?” As she held the box in her hand, Coco asked curiously .
“It’s a little box of pendant that I asked to be custom made,” Yun Xiangxiang took it and went upstairs .
She took out various ropes of color from her drawer and picked out three of it . She started swiftly threading them together . With her deft fingers, a wristrope tied in a double fisherman’s knot was quickly halfway done . She then took out a little trinket from the box . It was a crown-wearing cloud made out of pure silver .
She slid the trinket into the wristrope before continuing to make it . Before entering the entertainment industry, Yun Xiangxiang did a lot of handicraft in her past life .
She would occasionally make a few trinkets after entering the industry . She never forgot simple things like these .
“Xiangxiang, why are you doing this?” Coco thought it looked good . She wore the one Yun Xiangxiang made on her wrist .
“You can take this one,” Yun Xiangxiang took another three of the colorful ropes . Her fingers made quick work of them . “There will be fans coming for a visit a few days later . I’m preparing some little gifts for them . ”
“I have only heard of fans bringing gifts for their idol . Never heard of any idols making gifts for their fans,” Coco was shocked .
“I don’t interact much with them . They help me out a lot usually . This isn’t really any hard work either . Just a token of my appreciation,” Yun Xiangxiang unlocked her phone and started playing the voice recording Tao Manni and the girls sent her .
She made the wristropes as she listened to the recording of the lecture . Coco left her alone to her own devices .
She made the wristropes at a blisteringly fast pace . It took her ten minutes to make one in the beginning, but she only needed five minutes to finish one after that .
The ropes in hues of brown, gray, and black were masculine . The ones in light yellow, sky blue, and pastel were feminine .
Yun Xiangxiang made fifty of those wristropes in an afternoon .
“Are there even that many people visiting?” Coco looked at the hill of wristropes .
“If I only give them to those who will be visiting, the others may feel alienated . The rest will be put on Weibo as lucky draws,” Yun Xiangxiang smiled before continuing .
Song Meng told her there would be five fans coming over for the visit . Yun Xiangxiang made a hundred and five of the wristropes . One hundred of them would be given away to selected fans on Weibo . This was her first time doing a giveaway for her fans .
Two days later, Du Changrong took the new character over to discuss with Yun Xiangxiang . She immediately notified Yi Yan .
Yi Yan arrived faster than she thought . He rushed here through the night without telling Yun Xiangxiang . Du Changrong and Yun Xiangxiang only knew about it the next day .
The attention Yi Yan paid alone was satisfying Du Changrong . Du Changrong was lenient toward him during the audition . Finally, this character was taken by Yi Yan .
Du Changrong gave him the script and asked him to understand it quickly . The fashion designer would design the outfit for him . They would rent one if they found anything that fitted him .
Yun Xiangxiang had a lot to film on the day of her fans’ visit .
This was Yun Xiangxiang’s first time meeting her fans . Two of them were boys, and the other three were girls . Two were undergraduates in Chongqing’s local university, one was a highschooler, and the rest of them were youngsters who just stepped into society . Today was a weekend .
The youngest one, who was a highschooler, was a girl . She couldn’t stop herself from crying when she saw Yun Xiangxiang . Yun Xiangxiang tried to coax her for a while and she took out the gift she prepared beforehand .
She thought she could make the little girl smile, but she cried even louder .
“Don’t cry, don’t cry . With how hideous I look, I could only scare little kids according to legends . I don’t really expect to horrify a young, pretty lady into tears today,” Yun Xiangxiang patted the highschooler’s back gently .
The young lady sobbed, “I…I just think you’re a really nice person . I really want to get into Qingdao University, but I could only score six hundred marks after working so hard for two years . I feel useless . Uwah…”
She started crying again as she spoke .
“Will you stop being my fan if you do not manage to get into Qingdao University?” Yun Xiangxiang asked .
The young lady shook her head vehemently .
Yun Xiangxiang asked again, “Will I no longer be myself if you enrol in another university?”
The young lady shook her head again .
“That’s right . You see, you can see me even if you’re not in Qingdao University right now . No matter whether you can get into Qingdao or not, you and I will never change . ”
The young lady’s teary eyes became cloudy . She seemed to understand, yet at the same time, she did not .
“I can’t only have fans from Qingdao University . After all, I need more people from other places to like me, right?”
The young lady’s eyes slowly lit up .
Yun Xiangxiang needed to give her the feeling of a mission right now . Or else, she might fail in her entrance exam if she attended it in this state .
As she saw the light and resolve slowly growing in the young lady’s eyes, Yun Xiangxiang was relieved . She asked for leave from Du Changrong and located a hotpot shop near them to enjoy some hotpot with her fans .
The group of five all posted their photos online, to the ire of a large group of fans . Yun Xiangxiang quickly posted a Weibo status .
[Actress Yun Xiangxiang V: One hundred wristropes made by yours truly . Selecting the winners from those who repost this status . Limited to fans . ]
Her fans were fired up after the status was posted . But supply obviously couldn’t meet demand .
A certain online shop who smelled a business opportunity rushed to make the same model throughout the night . The sales number broke a hundred thousand in one night . That would be another story .
