It has to be said that even though Ji Mochen announced earlier this year that he would temporarily stop working, his popularity is still frighteningly high.
A simple interview stayed trending for a long time, until the next day, it slowly dropped to fifth place.
But if Ji Ruochu had time to look at the hot search again, she would find that in the hot search terms of her old father, most were about herself.
【Ah this... Ji Mochen and his wife only have one child, right?】
【What does it mean? Is Ji Ruochu taking the college entrance exam this year?】
【No wonder her dad Ji Mochen said he would take a six-month break from work, turns out it was to take care of his daughter ah.】
【So Ji Ruochu jumped grades after winning the International Olympiad gold medal? Is this girl so impatient?】
【I heard that her previous class of ten geniuses all skipped grades. They seemed to have all rejected the school's offer of admission, and were eager to determine a winner in the college entrance exam. 】
【Very good, the thinking of geniuses is indeed something we ordinary people cannot understand.】
【In this way, it's likely the provincial champion of Beijing city this year will emerge from among them.】
【Competitions and college entrance exams are not the same. Being good at math doesn't necessarily mean you're good at Chinese and English too. Who knows, in the end the exam score may not be as high as other students'.】
【Indeed, my younger brother was also on the national math team, but his Chinese was so bad, it was unbearable to look at.】
【Yes, after all, competitions only test one subject, while the college entrance exam tests more than one subject.】
【It would be funny if in the end the international gold medalist didn't even get the minimum score for college admission.】
...
Endless ridicule like this also made fans who were initially very confident in Ji Ruochu panic.
Some of these fans were Ji Ruochu's fans, some were fans of her from variety shows when she was little, and some came over from her father Ji Mochen's side.
Therefore, after seeing this unusual trend, Ji Mochen fans who were free started a "love the daughter for the father's sake, care for the little one" escort operation.
Soon, the hot comments became the fans' world. One said 【Jumping grades requires passing the exam as one of the prerequisites. Therefore, even if it's not full marks, it must meet the requirements to jump grades. This means our Ruochu's strength is stable!】
Another said 【Leave this father and daughter alone. The old father has semi-retired, doesn't hold concerts, doesn't take on endorsements, just to accompany his daughter to take an exam well. Whether she does well or not has nothing to do with you.】
...
In short, while Ji Ruochu was not looking at her phone, the fans of the father and daughter were fighting fiercely with the enemy.
Oh, you ask why she's not looking at her phone? Naturally, it's because—
"Bang!!"
Her long, powerful legs instantly kicked the incoming long table into pieces.
Sss—
The side crew inhaled sharply, immediately asking someone to bring a few more tables from the warehouse.
Goodness, although the quality of the prop table was poor and it wasn't difficult to kick and fly, kicking it into pieces was very outrageous.
"Cut! Passed!"
Behind the monitor, Qiu Xuetong's eyes lit up greedily, "Very good! Siyi, take a break first, you still have a fight scene later."
"Okay." The girl in blue robes nodded.
Next second, several people who had been waiting at the side immediately came up.
The tall woman handed her water and leaned down to rub her slender calves, asking if they hurt.
The girl shook her head, her face filled with a bright smile that made the white silk ribbon in her hair look delicate.
The man next to her opened the freshly cooked soup, checked that the temperature was right, and handed it over.
The makeup artist was even more breathless, afraid that the scream that had reached her throat would spill out inadvertently.
Good heavens! What virtues had she accumulated in her previous life that today she could actually see her male god working as an assistant on set?!
"Mom and Dad, don't be so nervous. The amount of action in this drama is nothing compared to my training at the martial arts school."
The girl took a sip of the soup her old father had specially cooked, and said helplessly.
"How can it be the same?" The old father was very unhappy, "The martial arts school doesn't use wire work, the martial arts school doesn't film night scenes, and the martial arts school doesn't let you get beaten and injured."
Qiu Xuetong, who was about to come over to discuss the script with his female lead, silently turned around: Hmm, better to go later.
He had a feeling that if he went over now, he might get beaten up by that Ji Mochen.
Yes, the girl who was filming martial arts scenes earlier was the 15-year-old Ji Ruochu, who had just finished taking the college entrance exam.
And the husband and wife who were serving soup and water at her side were Ji Mochen and Ling Chujin.
As for why the family would be at the set...that has to start from the day after the college entrance exam ended.
That day—
"Mom and Dad, I want to film Director Qiu's movie, the one called Free Diving 2."
At the dining table, Ji Ruochu, who was eating breakfast, slowly dropped this bombshell.
"Huh?"
Wearing an apron and placing freshly fried oil sticks on the table, the old father was shocked, then angrily said, "This Qiu Xuetong! You just finished the college entrance exam, and he came looking for you already!"
"No, actually, I already promised Director Qiu three years ago." Ji Ruochu explained for the old man who had humbly asked her if she wanted to continue acting in the future.
"What?! He came looking for you three years ago already!!" The old father was so angry that he ripped off his apron, ready to take out his phone and curse the other party.
Yes, he owed the other party a favor, but at that time he had turned the page after his daughter made a guest appearance for him, and he had helped pull some investments for the director Qiu. Now he actually still set his sights on his daughter, this old Qiu!
"No, Dad." Ji Ruochu grabbed the old father who was raging on the spot, "I like acting, so I agreed myself."
Ji Mochen, instantly rendered speechless: ......
"Did Director Qiu say when filming would start?" Ling Chujin, who had been silently listening to the father and daughter's conversation, asked.
"Filming for Free Diving 2 started two months ago. They've finished shooting all the scenes except for the female lead, just waiting for me to join."
"No, darling, tell Dad the truth. Did that Qiu Xuetong take advantage of your young age and sweet talk you into it?" The old father, still unable to accept that his daughter would start filming right after finishing the college entrance exam, persistently said,
"Tell Dad, how did you guys discuss it? When did Qiu Xuetong look for you? How did your mother and I not know at all—"
Saying this, the old father instantly froze, then belatedly looked at his overly well-behaved wife now.
"Wife, you knew?"
"I knew. I opened the door for Director Qiu that day when you went to film an endorsement." Ling Chujin looked completely calm.
Of course, she reasonably suspected that Qiu Xuetong had deliberately chosen a time when her husband was not home to come.
Ji Mochen: ......Very good.
And so the situation where only the old father was hurt was achieved again.
