Chapter 48: Chapter 48: I’m Not Afraid, Really!

Mu Ran added the other party on WeChat.

Immediately made a video call.

The man had a buzz cut, a dark face, and bared two big teeth. Even through the screen, Mu Ran could feel his goofy vibe.

This is Song Biao, a third-generation wealthy heir.

The family used to be involved in shady business, but now the focus is mainly on international finance.

He is the youngest child in the family, not an heir, but very much adored.

So far there haven’t been any bad habits reported about him in the industry.

But!

Mu Ran felt darkness in front of her eyes when she saw him. With a guy like this, how could she maximize his charisma? Come on, she’s planning to shoot a horror film with strong horror elements, and he…

He’s suited for mingling in the underworld.

Or playing a gang boss.

“Did my sister-in-law tell you I’m shooting a horror film now? Would you be okay wearing ancient garb and shooting under the blazing sun?”

She could only try to dissuade Song Biao, hoping he would know it’s too difficult and not face it head-on.

“Of course, Director Mu, I can handle hardship. I really admire you! I love all your work and have watched each of your films dozens of times. I know you don’t like people being forced into roles, but I promise I’ll do my best. I’ll do whatever you ask, and don’t worry, my family won’t trouble you—they’ll just be grateful that you allow me to act!”

If Song Biao wants to act, there are many directors in China he could choose, but he really likes Mu Ran.

Her films have a kind of tension that leaves people wanting more.

The visuals and lighting are excellent, and each actor involved can maximize their personal and role charm.

He just wants to see his own charisma.

Before, he begged Feng Qikuo to help him become Mu’s choice if she ever needed someone backstage!

Now, being able to work with Director Mu, he feels so lucky, hahaha…

“So, you should wait for the project to be filed. Later we’ll see if there’s any role that suits you, then we’ll talk it through. You said you liked my films, right? Then pick a role and show me your acting.”

“Okay, okay!”

Song Biao was very enthusiastic and confident.

He chose the male lead from one of Mu Ran’s Republican-era films.

Looking at his attempt to show depth, combined with that face, Mu Ran had never found time to be this long!

“Alright, I understand.”

“Director Mu, you already know? You’re amazing!” Song Biao exclaimed, full of admiration, his eyes gleaming.

Mu Ran: “…”

She felt at a loss for words.

“Take a good rest, I won’t disturb you anymore.”

“No worries, feel free to disturb me anytime, I’m quite free,” Song Biao replied.

Mu Ran pressed her fingertip against her brow and weakly nodded.

Then she hung up the phone.

Just feeling so tired.

What kind of role would be suitable for this guy?

With a blank expression, Mu Ran packed up her things, returned them to her room upstairs, and came back to the amusement park here.

The amusement park is a fun little world, filled with games like basketball machines, motorcycle racing, car racing, and many claw machines. Currently, it’s in the beta phase, not open to the public, allowing employees to check the equipment, because once Mu Ran and others leave, it will officially open.

Mu Ran arrived here.

She wanted to snag a Sun Wukong for Xiao Jin.

She scanned to buy thirty coins, and kept missing, which shot Mu Ran’s anger level to the max. By the twenty-seventh coin, she considered negotiating with the staff to just buy one.

But buying one lacks the heartfelt touch.

She could only keep trying!

Luckily, the claw machine had some mercy, and with her last coin, managed to catch Sun Wukong.

Mu Ran looked at Sun Wukong, carrying the Jingu Bang.

She gave its head a flick, “You’re really a monkey, so difficult to catch!”

She took Sun Wukong back to the room, where only the entrance was lit. Mu Ran carefully walked in, found her paper and pen, and wrote on them.

“Xiao Jin, Aunt loves you too.”

She placed the note and Sun Wukong next to the child’s bedside cabinet, and lay down to sleep.

The first rays of sunlight hadn’t cut through barriers yet, but Chu Xijin’s biological clock woke him.

The first thing he saw was Sun Wukong.

And the note.

Chu Xijin picked it up, looking at the words for a long time, his eyes slowly welled up with tears, his smile growing bigger. He hugged Sun Wukong tightly and carefully stored the note.

How could Aunt be so great!

Chu Xijin hugged Sun Wukong, got out of bed, pulled open the curtain a little to see Sun Wukong more clearly, and his smile grew wider.

Ahhhh.

His Aunt is truly the best person in the world.

Chu Xijin was so happy he wanted to leap up, but since Aunt was sleeping, he couldn’t make noise.

Obediently, he washed up, and Chu Xijin studied with his books, having Sun Wukong by his side as his treasure!

His most favorite gift.

As the live broadcast was about to start, Mu Ran was also woken up by the alarm, and found Xiao Jin squatting in the light of the curtains, studying, a little figure curled up writing, Mu Ran felt overwhelming guilt and immediately said, “Open the curtains.”

“Okay.”

Chu Xijin swooshed the curtains open.

Dazzling sunlight rushed in, Mu Ran raised her hand to slightly block it, and after her eyes adjusted, moved her hand away, seeing the child smiling vibrantly.

“Auntie, thank you, I really like your gift.” Chu Xijin’s eyes sparkled.

Mu Ran lifted the corners of her mouth, got out of bed, and tousled his hair, “As long as you like it.”

The activities of the second day were also about to begin.

Mu Ran looked up at the skyscraping drop tower, just wanting to strangle Yang Yingying!

Is this something humans can do?

Isn’t this scary?

Is it really safe?

Mu Ran had three questions in her head, but having been humiliated in the haunted house yesterday, she didn’t really want to embarrass herself today, so she held onto her pride and didn’t voice them.

Yang Yingying saw her suppressing anger and timidly hid among the crowd, saying, “Today’s challenge is to sing nursery rhymes. Whoever can sing the most on the drop tower wins. There are two options, one is the drop tower and the other is the roller coaster. The roller coaster is a better deal, but the drop tower has a longer pause time, allowing everyone to sing more steadily. You can choose!”

Mu Ran: “…”

She really wanted to say, can’t I choose to leave?

But for the sake of face.

She said nothing.

She’s not afraid, it’s just a drop tower, who’s afraid, so funny.

“Aaaaaaah, Mao Ziyang, save me!!!!!!!!”
