As Xia Wanyuan ate the fruits Jun Shiling fed her, she replied to the director of the television station, “Okay, I’ll definitely be on time.”

Jun Shiling glanced at her message. “Tsk, so busy. Looks like Madam doesn’t plan to leave any time for me?”

Xia Wanyuan took a bite of the cherry, and the sweet fragrance spread in her mouth. “I left you a live ticket.”

A smile appeared in Jun Shiling’s eyes. “Then I’ll look for you after work.”

Xia Wanyuan nodded. “Okay.”

She had been filming outside for the past few days and had not prepared much for class. Now, Xia Wanyuan was seriously flipping through the notes in her hand. Jun Shiling fed Xia Wanyuan cherry after cherry.

Xia Wanyuan habitually bit and ate it.

Then, she was pulled into Jun Shiling’s arms without warning. Her hot breath pressed down.

“Jun Shiling!” Xia Wanyuan pushed him. “Stop fooling around.”

Jun Shiling’s tone was smiling. “Have you missed me in the past few days?”

Xia Wanyuan said helplessly, “I still have to read. Stop fooling around.”

“I won’t disturb you.” Jun Shiling flicked Xia Wanyuan’s forehead. “What are you thinking? I’ll just hug you for a while. Be good. Look, I’ll handle work.”

“…” In the end, Xia Wanyuan could not dissuade Jun Shiling. She lay in his arms and slowly finished reading a pile of information.

When An Rao arrived at the manor, she saw this scene and could not help but click her tongue. When Jun Shiling turned around, she hurriedly hid behind Bo Xiao obediently.

Xia Wanyuan sat up and glanced at An Rao’s stomach. It seemed to be getting bigger. “Why are you here?”

“We’re here to send wedding invitations.” An Rao smiled until her eyes curved. “Besides, the doctor said that I can’t stay at home every day and not move. I have to come out and walk more.”

Xia Wanyuan walked towards An Rao and took the invitation from her.

On the exquisitely designed invitation, there were photos of An Rao and Bo Xiao. Looking inside, there was also a cartoon version of Lian Po and Li Bai, symbolizing An Rao and Bo Xiao’s first meeting.

“How are the preparations?” Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were too busy to pay attention to An Rao’s wedding.

“Pretty good.” An Rao nodded. “I’m basically ready. I’m just waiting to wear the wedding dress you designed for me.”

Speaking of wedding dresses, An Rao’s eyes were filled with yearning. The last time she tried it on, An Rao had been thinking about it in her dream. She even sighed. “If only I could wear the wedding dress Yuan Yuan designed for me every time I got married.” Then, she received a roll of the eyes from Bo Xiao.

After sending Xia Wanyuan her invitation, An Rao and Bo Xiao left the manor.

Bo Xiao and An Rao did not have many friends, but each of them was worth them personally going to deliver the invitation. The two of them had been too busy for the past two days.

Seeing An Rao and Bo Xiao’s backs disappear at the door, Xia Wanyuan looked at the invitation emotionally. “They’re finally getting their happy ending.”

“Mm.” Jun Shiling took the invitation and flipped through it. “Do you like such an invitation?”

“It’s very beautiful.” However, Xia Wanyuan was still deeply influenced by China’s traditional habits. “But I still prefer traditional wedding invitations.”

Jun Shiling’s deep eyes landed on the invitation, deep in thought.

——

In the current era, other than the older generation who still had the habit of watching television, the younger generation had long lost the habit of squatting and watching television.

With the high development of online videos, they could watch whatever they wanted. They did not have to guard the television and endure the torture of advertisements.

Even if everyone watched it, they would watch those television stations that did well in variety shows.

Although the official television station was a national television station, the program appeared very serious compared to other platforms. It had never been very popular among the young people, so the viewership ratings were naturally average.

However, it was very different today. Before Xia Wanyuan’s program began, the viewership ratings of the official television station soared like a rocket, leaving the viewership ratings of the other television stations far behind.

[ Squatting silently for Yuan Yuan. I’ve already turned on all three computers in our house. I’m looking at beauties from all directions! ]

[ The person in front, I reasonably suspect that you’re here to show off your wealth. I’m a little curious what Xia Wanyuan will say today. However, whatever a beauty says should be very interesting. I love Xia Wanyuan too much. Boohoo. ]

[The person in front, stop loving. Can you look at who is sitting in the audience and consider the comments you sent? You don’t want your account anymore, right?]

The show had not begun, and the camera was scanning the audience.

The director clearly knew what everyone wanted to see, so he kept signaling the cameraman to move the camera to the first row of the audience.

At this moment, Jun Shiling was sitting in the middle of the first row.

He was dressed in a black suit, making him look even taller. His eyes were like a painting, noble and proud. The blue tie at his collar became the only light in the darkness.

Before Xia Wanyuan came out, the comments had already exploded.

The host came out and said a few words, introducing the original intention of this popular science program. He also inserted two advertisements. After whetting the audience’s appetite, he chuckled. “I guess everyone doesn’t want to see me tonight. Then let’s not talk anymore. Let’s invite Xia Wanyuan out.”

Thunderous applause sounded. Jun Shiling, who was in the front row, also raised his hand and applauded. Then, Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a blue knee-length gown, appeared on stage.

Her skin was as fair as snow.

“Good evening, everyone.”

As Xia Wanyuan spoke, her eyes subconsciously glanced at Jun Shiling. Her dimples appeared slightly, and Jun Shiling’s face was filled with love.

[F*ck, I want to report the official television station for lying. Is this a science program? They clearly tricked a dog to come in and kill it!]

[ I was just wondering. With CEO Jun’s personality, he shouldn’t like to wear bright-colored ties. Now that I see Xia Wanyuan’s dress, I understand. So the clown is myself. Sorry to disturb. ]

[How blissful, I’m so happy when Xia Wanyuan is shy!! I love her so much!]

On stage, Xia Wanyuan had already restrained her expression and looked at the camera solemnly.

The official television station did not restrict her lecture content. Xia Wanyuan’s original content was to teach everyone about porcelain.

However, on the way here, Xia Wanyuan saw the trending topic about her making candy.

Seeing that the netizens were so interested in these things, Xia Wanyuan decided to tell everyone about these skills that she had found interesting in her previous life.

The audience originally thought that the official television station’s popular science program, coupled with Xia Wanyuan, a high-end professor at Qing University, would teach music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Xia Wanyuan looked poetic and picturesque, so the classes she taught were filled with the fragrance of books.

Many viewers had already bought ink, paper, and inkstone and placed them in front of the television, waiting to be enlightened by Xia Wanyuan. Then, they rolled up their sleeves and started painting.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Xia Wanyuan raised her hand and a pile of delicious food appeared on the big screen behind her.

Roast duck, mooncake, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, wheat…

The dishes were delicious, and the alluring soup complemented the dishes. It was late at night, and it made one’s mouth water.

Xia Wanyuan casually ordered a dish. “Let’s start with this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall…”

Hence, Xia Wanyuan introduced everything from its methods to its various legends.

Xia Wanyuan began to tell a story, starting from Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

There was a saying that the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was made by an official of the Qing Dynasty. There was also a saying that a beggar had stolen leftovers and cooked it. There was even a rumor that this dish was made by the famous scholar, Su Dongpo…

Towards the end, Xia Wanyuan said, “Actually, the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is also an intangible cultural heritage. Our country’s intangible cultural heritage has a total of four batches, ten classes, 1,372 projects, 3,145 sub-projects…”

Xia Wanyuan herself was an extremely knowledgeable person. Food, craftsmanship, literature, music, everything that seemed unrelated seemed to be natural to Xia Wanyuan.

She could melt delicious food into music and describe the beauty of technology as a poem.

The originally boring science knowledge left a deep impression in the audience’s minds as Xia Wanyuan explained vividly and interestingly.

The audience was dumbfounded.

Even the staff who participated in the production of the show listened with relish.

Many adults were originally very angry that their children did not sleep and watched television at night. They wanted to turn off the television, but they did not expect to be attracted by Xia Wanyuan’s words and watched it with the children on the sofa.

Time passed quickly without anyone noticing.

Until Xia Wanyuan stopped. “There are too many intangible cultural inheritances, and the things contained in them are too complicated. I only talked about one of them today. As for the rest, if you’re interested, you can check it yourself. See you next week.”

[ Ahhh no, I still want to hear it!!! My family and I are listening with relish!! Why are there so many cute stories behind a small dish!! The ancient people are really talented! ]

[I finally feel how precious five thousand years of history is. In the long history, many things have been given all sorts of magical colors, and then they were passed down by word of mouth until today. This feeling of inheritance is too beautiful.]

[I just want to say that our country’s intangible cultural heritage is so much… I always thought there were only a few types. I didn’t expect it to be tens of thousands. Amazing, I’m uneducated. Sorry to disturb you.]

There were many people watching Xia Wanyuan’s program, covering all ages.

Everyone had a habit of never thinking of understanding something when they did not know. However, when they knew a little, they would begin to be curious and want to understand everything.

For example, tonight’s science lesson.

Xia Wanyuan only explained one of the small categories, but she quoted the scriptures and let everyone feel it.

Oh, so any familiar element might have all sorts of magical legends and countless embarrassing stories behind it. (italics)

The cultural heritage that had once been called upon by the officials to protect and inherit had never attracted everyone’s attention.

Overnight, it became popular.

In order to cater to everyone’s interest, various social media began to publicize all sorts of news related to cultural heritage.

If the netizens were interested, more and more news would be pushed. The more it was promoted, the more interested they would be. This was a positive cycle.

At that moment, Xia Wanyuan did not pay attention to the trend on the Internet. After recording the show, she went to the night market behind the television station building with Jun Shiling.

It was already eleven o’clock when Xia Wanyuan finished recording the program. In addition, it was already very late when she finished packing. At this moment, there were not many people in the night market. There were only a few sparse customers picking and choosing at the roadside stalls.

Xia Wanyuan pulled Jun Shiling’s hand and walked to a small stall selling sugar figurines. She pointed at the raw materials in front of him. “Boss, can I make one myself? I’ll give you the money.”

The boss naturally agreed. “Of course, no problem. Just do as you please.” The boss smiled and took the hundred-dollar bill. He did not expect such a thing to happen, where he could relax and still earn money.

Xia Wanyuan walked to the back of the stall and rolled up her sleeves, revealing a fair wrist. She smiled at Jun Shiling. “I promised to teach you how to make sugar figurines.”

A smile appeared in Jun Shiling’s eyes. “Okay.”

There were very few tourists in the night market, and most of the vendors did not know Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan. No one noticed that in this corner, two people were holding sugar mash in their hands and pinching it like children.

Xia Wanyuan patiently taught Jun Shiling how to pinch. Jun Shiling learned quickly. Not long after, he followed Xia Wanyuan’s actions and made a small person.

This little person only had a body and a torso. He did not have a face yet and needed to be colored with paint.

In Xia Wanyuan’s hand was a miniature Jun Shiling in a suit. She looked at the sugar figurine in Jun Shiling’s hand. “Give me yours too. I’ll draw it for you.”

Jun Shiling dodged Xia Wanyuan’s actions. “No, I’ll do it myself.”

Although Jun Shiling did not study painting and calligraphy, he was too familiar with Xia Wanyuan.

He remembered every inch of her bones and every subtle expression very clearly.

Jun Shiling stood by the roadside and dipped the tip of his pen in the vegetable juice. He carefully colored the sugar figurine in his hand. He drew a little slowly. Xia Wanyuan wanted to rush him, but she stopped because he was too serious.

After a while, Jun Shiling handed the little person in his hand to Xia Wanyuan. “Take a look.”

Xia Wanyuan smiled when she saw it.

Although Jun Shiling’s painting skills were average, he had grasped her expression too well and could be considered lifelike.

“It’s very good.” Xia Wanyuan praised Jun Shiling.

“Mm, let’s go home.” Xia Wanyuan’s praise pleased Jun Shiling. He took the sugar figurine from Xia Wanyuan and placed it with his.

“What are you doing with this?”

“Save them.” Jun Shiling’s eyes were smiling. “This is a gift from Madam. I must take good care of it.”

……..

The two of them held hands and walked into the night chatting and laughing.

The show had already passed for the night. The next morning, the topic of Xia Wanyuan’s knowledge was still trending on the Internet. All sorts of discussions about her appeared.

“Sister Wei, why do you think Sister Xia is so amazing?” Lu Li supported her chin and looked at the phone screen excitedly.

Looking at Xia Wanyuan’s explanation, Lu Li felt that she had studied for nothing. After all, she did not know anything about what Xia Wanyuan had said.

Wei Jin smiled faintly. “She’s indeed very amazing. If you follow her, you can learn a lot.”

Lu Li had a bitter expression.

She felt that it was not bad to learn a lot from Xia Wanyuan.

However, it was also very easy for one to feel autistic, okay? It was simply a full-scale blow.

Lu Li glanced at Wei Jin and saw that she was a little tired. “Alright, Sister Wei, rest for a while. I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll visit you in the afternoon.”

The medicine that Wei Jin was injected with contained an ingredient to help her sleep and calm her mind. She was indeed sleepy now, so she nodded at Lu Li. “Okay, go ahead.”

Lu Li helped Wei Jin lie down and covered her with the blanket before leaving the ward.

Just as she walked to the hall downstairs, in the same position as last time,

She met Xuan Sheng and Ding Shanshan again.

This time, Ding Shanshan walked beside Xuan Sheng shyly.

Ding Shanshan wanted to speak to Xuan Sheng, but he looked impatient, so Ding Shanshan could only give up.

She looked up and saw Lu Li walking over. Seeing that Lu Li’s eyes were all glued to Xuan Sheng, hostility flashed across Ding Shanshan’s eyes.

“Ah Sheng, I have something on. I want to go to the bathroom first. Wait for me upstairs.”

Darkness surged in Xuan Sheng’s eyes, but he still looked lazy. “Mm.”

The two of them separated and Xuan Sheng walked towards the elevator while Ding Shanshan walked towards the corner where Lu Li was hiding.

“Where have you been these past few days? Why can’t I find you? Are you deliberately not helping me cook?” Ding Shanshan’s tone was very harsh. In order to hide it, she had found all sorts of reasons to explain to Xuan Sheng why she could not continue to send food.

“I have my own job. I didn’t sell it to you either.” Ding Shanshan’s matter-of-fact expression made Lu Li unhappy.

“Pfft.” Ding Shanshan looked at Lu Li disdainfully. “You’re just a small assistant. Why are you putting on airs in front of me?”

“…” Lu Li did not stand on ceremony. “Then how noble are you?”

Ding Shanshan smiled smugly at Lu Li, her red lips bewitching. “Little sister, I rely on this.”

As she spoke, she raised her right hand and placed it on her stomach.

Lu Li was first sad, then reacted. “You haven’t even been with CEO Xuan for half a month. Where did you get the child?”

“Yo, you’re not stupid.” Ding Shanshan smiled. “Just because you don’t have it now doesn’t mean I won’t have it in the future. Ah Sheng has been drinking and socializing recently. His stomach hurts. Since you’re back, it’s time to continue sending him food, right?”

On the one hand, Ding Shanshan wanted to provoke her failed love rival, Lu Li. On the other hand, she had a favor to ask of Lu Li.

“I understand.” On the one hand, Lu Li hated Ding Shanshan, but she would not vent her anger on Xuan Sheng. “I’ll give you lunch at the usual place.”

“Okay.” Having achieved her goal, Ding Shanshan left in satisfaction.

At the entrance of the hospital, a man in a black jacket saw that Ding Shanshan had finally left. He pressed down the brim of his hat and stuffed the camera hidden in his sleeve. Then, he turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
