Chapter 786: Chapter 634: Just Feels Like Spring Is Coming
"I understand."
Xie Yizun understood what his sister meant.
If, for him, doing a good job in his current role is the most important, then you would definitely choose the best way to solve this problem. And looking at everyone around, his mom is the only one who would unconditionally help him, wholeheartedly share her genuine insights, and sincerely wish him well.
"I’ll have a good chat with her."
Ning Youguang wasn’t necessarily insisting that Xie Yizun seek advice from his mother; she was merely providing him with a feasible suggestion.
"If it feels too hard, give yourself a bit more time to learn slowly. If you really like being the male lead, then seize the opportunity now and do your best to perform well."
—"Pleasing yourself is more important than pleasing others."
She knew that young people always have a lot of pride.
Many times, Ning Youguang would rather take a detour to gain experience outside, bumping along the way, instead of earnestly following the family and learning some real skills.
As they say, the monk from afar chants better.
Even if his mom is an international movie star, in Xie Yizun’s eyes, she’s just his mother.
Since she’s his mother, he would harbor bias against the skills she taught, unwilling to accept them sincerely.
After carefully listening, Xie Yizun thought for a while and asked, "What if I’ve already tried my best, but still feel unsatisfied?"
"Then it means you need to lower your standards," Ning Youguang said. "It’s best to set your standards just a bit above your current level, something achievable with effort. Otherwise, if the standards are set too high and you can’t reach them long-term, you’ll lose motivation."
"There’s one thing," Xie Yizun said, "many times, others think I’m doing well, but I don’t feel it myself. I always feel like they’re just saying it casually."
"That’s because you don’t recognize yourself yet," Ning Youguang laughed. "Don’t aim to be a king right away. Which king didn’t rise from being a bronze rank first?"
A bit later, when leaving "Future Time."
Ning Youguang and Shi Wangyue escorted Xie Yizun out.
While waiting for the elevator, Xie Yizun suddenly asked Ning Youguang, "Sister, what if I don’t want to play the male lead and just want to join the crew for fun?"
"That’s great too," Ning Youguang laughed. "I once read in a book, ’Only when life isn’t going well do you become the protagonist. If you can be a supporting character, try to be one. This gives you room to maneuver. Many people’s troubles stem from refusing to be a supporting character, insisting on being the lead, and then struggling all their lives.’ Although it’s not about acting, I find it interesting, so I wanted to share it with you."
Watching as the car carrying Xie Yizun sped away.
Shi Wangyue recalled when Xie Yizun’s agent came to pick him up earlier, complaining, "I’ve arranged the tuxedo and jewelry for you, and you just say you won’t go. Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused me?!"
"You may not care for the red carpet, but at least check your fans on Weibo. They’re eagerly waiting for you to attend grand events every day." The agent handed the phone to Xie Yizun, "Look here, someone called ’Firefly Loves Yiyi’ said, ’If I can’t see Xie Yizun walk the red carpet this time, my looks, my figure, and even my good virtues, good nature, and soul might be ruined.’ How can you bear that? Weren’t you always saying your fans are your favorite people? Can’t your love be a bit deeper?"
It’s hard on her.
He then curiously asked Ning Youguang, "Why did you like Yiyi’s decision to skip the red carpet?"
"The kid escaped, so instead of forcing him back, why not go along with it?" Ning Youguang sighed softly. "Why make it difficult? Yiyi’s intentions are clear; he doesn’t want to go. If he doesn’t want to go, just let him be."
"But don’t you think it’s a bit unprofessional?" A consistently professional Shi always found acting this way irresponsible.
"It’s not just a bit unprofessional; it’s very unprofessional," Ning Youguang said. "It’s okay; you can be direct when you talk to me."
Shi Wangyue nodded with a smile, "Isn’t this just encouraging his bad habits?"
"Yiyi is so smart; do you think he doesn’t know his mistake?" Ning Youguang chuckled. "Yang Jiang once said, ’People can’t teach people; only experiences can teach them, because people can’t be awakened; they can only wake up from pain.’ Some things, even if we foresee them hitting obstacles, getting bruised, or feeling pain, and even though it pains us, they still have to go through them. Because if they don’t experience it, they’ll never understand how important the things we tell them are."
—"Growth isn’t taught; it’s refined through experiences."
...
[Sisters, I’ve fallen in love! The other person is a seven-year-older uncle!]
Before bed, Ning Youguang received a WeChat message from Li Qing in the three-sister group chat that included herself and Fang Wei.
Instantly snapping out of her groggy state, she replied with a celebratory emoji.
[Wow wow wow! Congratulations, hahaha]
[Fang Wei: Wow! A surprise, when did this happen?]
[Li Qing: We decided to date last night and told you first today.]
[Fang Wei: Hahaha, that’s wonderful! So happy!]
[Love you, muah]
Fang Wei then sent another "Start Towards Happiness" emoji, and Ning Youguang quickly followed with the same emoji.
[Li Qing: I didn’t expect it to happen so fast. We just met not long ago, but it feels right. Since it happened, I’ll cultivate love.]
[Li Qing: In his words, it’s extremely comfortable mentally.]
[What could be more wonderful than this? What other possibilities are there?]
[Fang Wei: Hahaha, oh my, extremely comfortable mentally sounds super romantic, right?] [Enjoy the feeling of being in love]
[Li Qing: It’s not all joy; he touches something deeper within me. I think that might be the meaning of this relationship, but for now, it doesn’t feel bad; I’m at least willing to face it.]
[Fang Wei: Wow! It feels like your relationship is progressing fast.]
[Fang Wei: Such deep conversations]
[Li Qing: Just hit the right frequency. It matched perfectly, and it feels unreal.]
[Li Qing: Everything is still to be observed; it’s all about self-cultivation.]
[Life is like a dream; everything is the best arrangement. Enjoy it~]
[Li Qing: Uh-huh~]
After Ning Youguang put down her phone, Shi Wangyue turned off the room lights and asked, "Who was it, for so long?"
Ning Youguang laughed, "Nothing, just feeling like spring is coming."
"???" Shi Wangyue. 1314
